Tocco remains a member of the Town Council. The canvassers acted on Friday, just hours after a Superior Court judge declined to intervene and force the special election to take place Nov. 3. Under the terms of the town Charter, if Tocco is voted out of office, the Town Council will pick a successor because Tocco would have served more than half his two-year term. If the election had been scheduled for Nov. 3, with the same result, he would have served less than half his term and thus would be replaced at a townwide special election. Tocco, president of the council, is a Democrat. The Charter requires the council to pick another Democrat if he is voted out. Secretary of State A. Ralph Mollis's office today said Smithfield filed the necessary paperwork today to hold the special election. -- Journal staff writer Thomas J.

He is wanted on several warrants for violating probation after he was involved in an assault and battery in Somerset this week. John Makuch, last known address of 45 Malbone Street in Lakeville, fled the courthouse during a meeting at the probation department, the police said in a news release. He formerly lived in Somerset, but as part of the outcome of a previous case he was told he had to move out of Somerset. In that case, he had been the subject of several complaints that he harassed and intimidated Lake Street neighbors in Somerset -- some said they feared for their safety. "It is believed he fled [this morning] after he realized that he would be held without bail and required to serve a sentence imposed on him this past summer," the release says. The police released a description of Makuch as a 50-year-old white male who is 6 feet tall, about 180 to 200 pounds, with brown eyes, shaven head or extremely short light-brown hair. He has visible head scars from surgery. Police said he is known to be driving any of these: * Red 1995 Ford Explorer, MASS 410PHJ The police ask that if someone sees Makuch, call the department at (508) 679-2138.

Lynch and the parents of a Rhode Island woman who was murdered by her former boyfriend will take Rhode Island's new law against such violence to a national stage tomorrow at a New York City forum. The parents of Lindsay Ann Burke, the 23-year-old North Kingstown girl who was murdered , are slated to be with Lynch at the news conference, according to Lynch's office. "It's Time to Talk Day," created by Liz Claiborne Inc. to increase awareness nationally about domestic violence, will include an 11:30 a.m. news conference that will launch a digital Teen Dating Bill of Rights. The news conference will be at Liz Claiborne headquarters, 1441 Broadway, New York City. The Lindsay Ann Burke Law, approved in Rhode Island this year, requires each school district in the state to come up with and carry out a zero-tolerance dating violence policy that sets guidelines and disciplinary consequences for incidents taking place at school or on school grounds. The new law mandates that all school districts include dating violence education in existing health education curriculum in grades 7 through 12. “It’s a tribute to the work accomplished by Ann and Chris Burke, and very meaningful to me, as well, that Liz Claiborne Inc. views the Lindsay Ann Burke Law as a national model in curbing dating violence,” Lynch said in a statement. This year, Liz Claiborne Inc. has partnered with the National Teen Dating Abuse Helpline to press for national education on teen dating abuse. Lynch also will interview with a number of talk show hosts from throughout the nation who are broadcasting live from the event tomorrow to raise awareness of domestic violence and teen dating abuse. -- projo.com staff writer Michael P.

In the first year, $2.75 million will be used to target people released from the Adult Correctional Institutions, younger offenders from the state Training School, and parents/guardians involved with state Department of Children, Youth and Families. The money will let state Department of Mental Health, Retardation and Hospitals issue vouchers in which people can choose when they want to get treatment/recovery services, and what kind. Treatment options include inpatient and outpatient treatment modalities, residential treatment, medical detoxification and methadone treatment, peer support, and relapse prevention. Recovery support services include modified sober houses, as well as family and marital counseling. People seeking help will be offered a "client coach" to help them navigate the treatment system and ensure they make it to appointments. In the grant's first year, 600 people are expected to participate, with, 1,200 clients projected in the second year and 1,600 in the third. Posted by Mike McKinney at 4:22 PM | Comment Climate scientist wants to impart extraordinary truthBenjamin Santer was introduced to a group of about 250 scientists and journalists as "a statistician type." And for an hour today, the award winning climate scientists who has used painstaking statistical analysis to show the impact humans make on the Earth's climate, lived up to his introduction: he flew through a slideshow peppered with graphs and talked about calculating statistical deviation and anthropomorphic components of climate change. But his last slide, before and after pictures of the Rocky Mountains, was anything but statistician-like. "It is tremendously sad," he said, "that my children, my grandchildren will not experience these mountains." Santer was the keynote speaker at the 2007 Grantham Prize Seminar on Environmental Journalism. A physicist and atmospheric scientist at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California, Santer was a lead author with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and earned an award from the Department of Energy for environmental science and technology, and an Outstanding Paper award from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association. He shared some of his work with the audience to help them -- many, journalists from around the country -- interpret data and better understand the complicated science used in the study of climate change. "Extraordinary claims," he said, "demand extraordinary truth." -- projo.com staff writer Brandie M. Jefferson A major theme of his presentation was the idea of human "fingerprints" to make better use of statistical models. Teasing out how different factors -- from volcanos to solar flares -- could affect temperature made it possible, he said, to also model the human affect. It is an "immutable fact," he said, that humans have been and continue to be responsible for changes in the climate. But a statistician knows as well as anyone that graphs and spreadsheets are not likely to sway public opinion. "Katrina galvanized people's attention," he said when a member of the audience asked why, after more than a decade of doing this work, the public seemed to be on his side. "CO2 is an odorless, colorless gas. It's difficult to make it real to people." In his introduction, Bud Ward, a environmental journalist for more than 30 years, said that because Saner was a better scientist than a diplomat, he was able, in the mid-90s, to write a chapter in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change attributing warming to human activity by arguing, rather undiplomatically, with diplomats. At the time of the report, however, he was accused of editing it to delete references of scientific uncertainty about the human impact of climate change. Ultimately, the 1995 IPCC report concluded that "the balance of evidence suggests a discernable human influence on global climate." That statement, Santer said, is "forever in my memory." The $75,000 Grantham Prize for Excellence in Reporting on the Environment – the largest of its kind – will be awarded to Kenneth R. Weiss and Usha Lee McFarling of the Los Angeles Times for their five-part series “Altered Oceans.” Awards of special merit, a $5,000 prize, will be given to a team of reporters at NOVA for “Dimming in the Sun;” a team at the East Oregonian Publishing Company for its series, “Our Climate is Changing … Ready or Not;” and for Eugene Linden’s “The Winds of Change.” The Grantham Prize was created in 2005 through a joint effort between URI's Metcalf Institute for Marine and Environmental Reporting, and the Grantham Foundation for the Protection of the Environment. The Metcalf Instute was named for Michael P. Metcalf, the late publisher of The Providence Journal, "who was keenly interested in marine and environmental issues and was known for his integrity, vision, and high standards for writing," according to the institute.

The injury was severe enough that the seal will never use its left eye again. But Mystic Aquarium Institute for Exploration said in a news release today that the seal will be capable of hunting and surviving. The aquarium in eastern Connecticut, which rehabilitated the seal that was found in western Connecticut, announced today that the release is slated for 9 a.m. The full-grown seal weighs more than 200 pounds and is 20 to 25 years old, the aquarium says. A reward of more than $3,000 is being offered for information about who may have shot the seal. “After almost two months of treatment here at Mystic Aquarium by our staff veterinarian Lawrence Dunn and our entire staff, the harbor seal has been given a clean bill of health by the National Marine Fisheries Service and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association (NOAA) and can now be returned to its natural habitat,” Cindy Davis, stranding assistant at Mystic Aquarium, said in the statement. “As is the case with any stranded marine animal, our goal is to return it to its natural habitat once it has received proper treatment and care," said Davis. -- projo.com staff writer Michael P.

Posted by Brandie Jefferson at 10:12 AM | Comment Veteran lawmaker Paul W. Crowley dies
Crowley’s distinguished public-service record began early, when he was a student at the University of Rhode Island, and ended with his 27-year tenure as a top legislator in the House of Representatives. He was the longest-serving Democrat in the House. Crowley became the point man on education issues as the legislature took on an increasingly active role in financing — and shaping — the state’s public schools. He championed charter schools, school accountability, improved vocational education and increased aid to poorer school districts years before other politicians caught on. As Crowley said during his last campaign for the House, in the fall of 2006: “I’ve been the education guy.” Crowley’s efforts were frustrated for many years, until a Rhode Island Supreme Court ruling in 1995 called on the legislature to devise an adequate funding formula for education. That decision gave momentum to Crowley and like-minded lawmakers. In 1997, Crowley became one of the prime sponsors of the state’s educational accountability law, which ushered in annual school report cards and authorized state intervention for failing schools. He was the “go-to person on education in the General Assembly,” said Gary Sasse, executive director of the Rhode Island Public Expenditure Council, who advised Crowley on legislative matters over the years. “His vision and leadership made a significant contribution to our state. He was universally respected by everybody and he will be sorely missed,” Sasse said. Crowley “was a legislator who was truly driven by the public interest, and he was a man of great integrity.” -- Journal staff writers Meaghan Wims and Gina Macris, with reports from Journal staff writer Richard Salit Crowley had long favored consolidation of school districts and a single, statewide teachers’ contract. In his final days at the State House, Crowley helped ongoing efforts to establish a statewide school-funding formula and to rein in growing teacher salaries. Crowley didn’t just focus on school issues, however. He opposed early proposals for a casino in Newport, and recently resisted the proposed Harrah’s Narragansett Indian casino in West Warwick. He supported tax incentives for energy savings and regionalization of municipal services decades before those concepts were realized. He recently proposed measures that would protect coastal residents from rising homeowners’ insurance rates. Despite the serious issues he grappled with at the State House, Crowley maintained a certain levity. In 1999, mall developer Aram Garabedian became the lone independent in the overwhelmingly Democratic General Assembly. Crowley posted a sign on the phone booth outside the House chamber. It read: “Representative Aram Garabedian. Mini Minority Leader. Please knock.” Crowley twice ran unsuccessfully for the Newport City Council before being elected to his first public office, state representative, in 1981 at age 31. That election pitted Crowley, who had deep Newport roots and a family name synonymous with popular Newport restaurants La Forge Casino and the now-closed Christie’s, against Eileen Slocum, the wealthy Republican leader and Bellevue Avenue denizen. In a rematch the following year, Crowley beat her again. He never lost another election. Crowley once questioned his political future. He lost his second bid, in 1979, for the Newport council in part because of criticism over his participation as a URI student in an anti-Vietnam War demonstration. “I’m proud of what I did,” he said at the time, but added, “There’s a real question now of how credible a candidate I can be now.” Newport voters didn’t share his concern. Crowley maintained a stanchion of local support for decades, particularly in the predominately Irish Fifth Ward neighborhood, where he lived with his family on Harrison Avenue. As a former chairman of the Newport County Convention and Visitors Bureau, Crowley actively marketed his hometown as a tourist destination. And, of course, there were the nights he spent greeting diners at La Forge Casino. “Politics is a little more laid back [here] than upstate,” Crowley said in 1993. “It’s not so much going to ‘times,’ it’s more of a ‘Hi, neighbor’ chat-across-the-fence kind of thing." About 18 months ago, in February 2006, Crowley was diagnosed with stage-three malignant melanoma, a deadly form of skin cancer. He returned to the State House in May of 2006 when he was greeted with applause and a standing ovation. By the end of the 2006 legislative session, Crowley had secured the funds for a new alternate high school in Newport. Crowley went on to win another election last fall, and at that time, he said tests showed his cancer had not spread to other organs and his prognosis looked good. He remained active through the end of the 2007 legislative session in June, but the cancer returned. Crowley leaves his wife, Diana, and three children Posted by Brandie Jefferson at 9:55 AM | Comment Groups to press for special legislative sessionSeveral activist groups plan to gather outside the State House this afternoon to urge legislators to set a date for a special session to override a number of bills vetoed by Gov.

In a press release, the American Civil Liberties Union, Direct Action for Rights and Equality, Marriage Equality RI, Ocean State Action, SEIU Local 1199 and United Nurses and Allied Professionals say they are pushing for the General Assembly to override Carcieri vetoes of "civil rights, worker rights and health care legislation.” “These pieces of legislation are too important to the community to let die or to make us wait any longer,” John Prince, chairman at DARE said in the release.
