East Bay LifeEastPages B1-B16Bay Life January 23-24, 2013An osprey monitor’s work is neverdone — not even in the winterBY JIM MCGAWjmcgaw@eastbaynewspapers.comThe ospreys may be kicking back in theirbalmy South American winter homes rightnow, but here in the East Bay it’s work as usualfor the volunteers who watch over them.To make certain these raptors have a niceplay to stay when they return in March, volunteerswork through the winter inspectingand cleaning out nests and shoring up anymanmade platforms that have tilted overtime.One of the most dedicated volunteers isButch Lombardi of the Warren ConservationCommission. Last week he was sloggingaround a marsh between a beach and LittleMussachuck Creek in west Barrington alongwith his wife, Cyndy, as they inspected anosprey nest high atop a manmade platformon private land.“It’s leaning, and (the property owner) isworried about it,” said Mr. Lombardi, one ofabout 70 volunteers statewide who monitorsthe osprey population for the Audubon Societyof R.I. According to the Audubon’s recentlyreleased osprey report, 178 new fledglingswere reported in 2012 — the highest numberin the project’s history. South Kingstown hadJIM MCGAWButch Lombardi cleans out an osprey’s nest on the west side of Barrington last week. The property owners were concerned that the platformwas leaning too much, so Mr. Lombardi volunteered to take the extra weight off before straightening out the platform and shoring up thepost with another brace.When birds fly south, real work beginsBUTCH LOMBARDI/WWW.EASTBAYIMAGES.COMButch Lombardi of the Warren Conservation Commission, who’s also a volunteer monitor forthe Audubon’s annual osprey survey, took this photograph of an osprey on the hunt.the most active nests (18), with Barrington aclose second at 17. (See related story, page 3.)Michele Cyr, who owns the land with herhusband, Greg Towne, said the platformwent up about 10 years ago or more. “A friendput it up as a birthday present for my husband,”she said, adding that the ospreys didn’ttake to the platform until much later on.“They didn’t nest for five years.

ToArleneVIOLEToffset the loss ofsome $8 millionwith the reduction,the governorproposes cutting in half thejobs-development credit. It’sabout time.The biggest recipient of this taxcredit has been CVS, which swallowedup $15.4 million of thestate’s $16.4 million in tax creditsthrough the Jobs DevelopmentAct. CVS also qualified for additionaltax credits of almost $10million more for a combinationof day care, investment, jobtrainingtax credits and a deductionfor contributions to scholarshiporganizations. In the latterregard, CVS should be doing thisanyway as a good corporate citizen.Just exactly what jobs did CVSdevelop? Mostly, they are clerkjobs that pay minimum wage.CVS keeps the hours shaved forits workers so it doesn’t have topay health care. Many of the folkswaiting on the public are parttime.Benefits are nil.Everyone is aware of the CVSClassic Golf game that results inmoney to various charities. Whatfolks don’t know is that the recipientsmust provide free help atthe competition and get funds ona pro-rata basis per person foreach volunteer. In other words,the help that picks up the trash,directs spectators, etc., are notpaid.CVS hasn’t exactly been a modelof corporate responsibility.Recently, it paid a humongousfine for Medicare violations. Thecompany would bill and be paidfor Medicare for prescriptionsfilled ostensibly for seniors and,when the prescription wasn’tpicked up, it would be resold toanother customer. Time andagain the company paid fines forhaving outdated prescriptionssold in poverty areas. Other itemslike food were out of date whenSee VIOLET Page 4
