The Barrington Community School is a non-profit corporation
which attempts to provide lifelong learning and enrichment
opportunities in education, recreation, social and related
cultural services with programs for all ages, ethnic and
socioeconomic groups. The school is a self-supporting
organization, solely dependent on tuition income, grants and
brochure ads, and governed by a Board of Directors.
Rhode Island School of Design
RISD offers a variety of engaging educational programs for
children, teens and families, ranging from Continuing
Education classes and certificate programs for youths to
Sunday Family Workshops and Free-for-All Saturdays at the
Museum. These programs are fun for the entire family and often
include hands-on activities, performances, videos and special
gallery guests. Programs are offered evenings and weekends -
even during school vacation weeks and summer. To find specific
programs that match your interests, contact them at
cemail@risd.edu
Treat yourself to the tranquility and inspiration of RISD's
satellite campus in picturesque Barrington. Courses offered at
"the farm" afford students convenient parking and an
unparalleled opportunity to retreat from the bustle of
contemporary life. Most of all, Tillinghast’s lovely beach,
rolling meadows and charming landscape (rustic as the
buildings may be) provide an ideal setting to create art in a
natural environment. Right here on our doorstep!

questions.
RI’s New Social Host Law - A new Rhode Island law
penalizing adults who allow underage drinking parties in their
homes.
Under the new law adults are responsible for underage drinking
at their homes, even if the adult doesn't purchase the
alcohol. Any adult in Rhode Island "who knowingly allows
minors to consume alcohol in his or her home" faces escalating
penalties with repeat offenses. The law states that a
first-time conviction is a misdemeanor that carries a fine
from $350 to $1,000 and/or imprisonment for up to six months.
Conviction on a second offense is a misdemeanor and carries a
fine of $750 to $1,000 and/or up to six months' imprisonment.
A third conviction is a felony and carries a fine of up to
$2,500 and/or imprisonment for up to one year.
The law closes a loophole that officials said had made it
virtually impossible to bring charges against adults who
knowingly allowed underage drinking.
Some Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: Kids are going to drink anyways, so isn't it safer
if they drink at home so they won't be driving?
A: There are several serious risks associated with
underage drinking aside from traffic crashes. They include:
unwanted and unprotected sex, injuries from falls, burns and
drowning, reactions from mixing alcohol with medication, and
alcohol poisoning. The safest environment is not to take the
keys away, but to take the drug away.
Q: Can I be charged with furnishing or procuring
alcohol for underage persons if I don't own the property where
the activity took place -- for example a hotel room or
dormitory room?
A: Yes, adults, 21 years of age or older, can be
charged if 1) they purchase alcohol for an underage person; 2)
they purchase alcohol with the intent to give to an underage
person; 3) they knowingly furnish to an underage person; 4)
they obtain alcohol for an underage person; or 5) they permit
consumption of alcohol by underage persons in their home.
Q: If I decide to have a party in the privacy of our
home, what business do the police have coming to my house?
A: Police officers may approach your property if there
is probable cause that there is criminal activity afoot, which
may include a noise disturbance or some other indication that
illegal activity is taking place. If police officers do
discover evidence of underage drinking, the underage persons
may be charged with Possession of Alcohol (Rhode Island
General Laws § 3-8-10) and the supervising adult may be
charged with Furnishing or Procuring Alcohol for Underage
Persons (Rhode Island General Laws § 3-8-11.1).
Q: As a parent, do I have the right to give my child
alcohol in recognition of religious or cultural rites and
traditions?
A: Yes, Rhode Island General Laws § 3-8-11.1 provides
two exemptions: consumption or possession of alcohol by an
underage person for religious purposes, and parents and legal
guardians providing or permitting the consumption of alcohol
by their own minor child.
Q: If I am not at home and my underage child has a
party where there is underage drinking, am I liable?
A: Criminal liability for furnishing or procuring
alcohol for underage persons applies to situations where the
adult knowingly gives permission or approval for the underage
possession or consumption of alcohol. However, you could be
named in a civil suit for injuries or harm resulting from the
incident.
Q: What are the penalties for furnishing or procuring
alcohol for underage persons?
A: A first violation is a misdemeanor that is subject
to a fine of $350-$1,000 or up to six months imprisonment, or

10 Tips for Safe Surfing
1. Create House Rules
Create simple, easy-to-read house rules about using the
Internet and post them on or near the monitor. You and your
kids can establish a family contract outlining your family's
rules of acceptable Internet usage. And don't be afraid to
enforce it!
2. Consider using security software for your computers.
Cox offers customers a security suite at no additional charge
that includes parental controls, pop-up blocker, anti-spyware,
anti-spam and firewalls. The Parental Control feature offers
five age-based levels of blocking. Levels include:
* complete web blocking,
* access to only select websites for children eight and under,
* a medium-filtering selection for ages 9-12 that blocks web
mail and chat functions,
* a low-filter option for teens, and
* an adult “no filter” option.
* Parents can also get a daily web history report detailing
when their children have been online. Click here for more
information about Cox's parental controls.
3. Create Passwords
Internet accounts should be in your name, with parents having
the primary screen name, controlling passwords, and using
blocking and/or filtering devices. Children should not
complete a profile for a service provider and should use only
nondescript screen names that don't identify themselves as
children.
4. Keep the computers in the Family Room
Keep the computers in the family room or in other open areas.
Be aware of any other computers your children might be using.
5. Don't be Afraid to Ask
Frequently ask your children to show you what they can do
online and visit their favorite sites and chat rooms. Limit
chat room access to child-friendly sites. Know with whom your
children are exchanging e-mails and chatting.
6. Talk about Chat Rooms
Talk with your children about never meeting a new online
"friend" face-to-face. Be sure to spell out the specifics of
allowed chat room behavior in your family contract!
7. Go Online Yourself
Select child-friendly search engines to assist your children
in completing their homework. Cox has a list of these
resources and other helpful links in the parents' section.
8. Talk about Spam
Explain to your children what spam is and caution your kids to
never respond to commercial e-mail, or to open e-mail
attachments from unknown senders. One key way to protect your
e-mail accounts from spam is to refrain from responding to
spam. Following a link and asking to opt out from future
e-mails confirms to spammers that your e-mail address is
active. Internet viruses are often spread via e-mail
attachments. Instruct your kids to be very cautious about
opening attachments and to never open attachments from anyone
they don't know!
9. Watch out for Dangerous E-mails
Talk to your children about not responding to offensive or
dangerous e-mails, chat, or other communications. Report any
such communication to your local law enforcement agency or to
the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children’s website
at www.cybertipline.com.
10. Talk about Music Downloading
If your children are music fans and enjoy accessing music
online, be sure that they are getting their music from
legitimate sources and not sharing copyrighted materials
illegally. Making copyrighted materials available without
authorization can lead to prosecution and bring steep
financial penalties. The Recording Industry Association of
America has a Web site that provides additional information on
penalties. You may consider establishing an online allowance
for your kids to purchase music legitimately online.

P.A.L. (Police Athletic League)
P.A.L. is a sports oriented, juvenile crime prevention program
that relies on athletics to create and cement the bond between
Police Officers and kids in the community. Studies have shown
that if a youngster respects a Police Officer on the ball
field or in the gym, he or she will very likely come to
respect the laws the Police Officer enforces.
The Police Athletic League of Barrington is run on donations
serving boys and girls, ages 6-18. The purpose of the P.A.L.
is to promote interaction among Police Officers and youth
through athletics to develop a strong bond and better
understanding.
The unique thing that PAL offers is the ability to up date and
change its current programs to meet the needs of the
community. It is with these programs that children are given
the opportunity to interact with our local police officers in
a drug and alcohol free environment that promotes friendship
between the two.
