>>> MULBERRY VINEYARDS LOCATED IN RHODE ISLAND.

>> HI, MY NAME IS WALTER SPEAR.

PRESIDENT OF THE TOWN COUNCIL.

WELCOME TO OUR TOWN.

♪ [ MUSIC ] ♪ ♪ .

>> GLAUS SHERI RI IS LOCATED -- THE TOWN IS RATHER LARGE, ALMOST 57 SQUARE MILES, WITH 10,000 RESIDENTS.

YET, IT MAINTAINS A SMALL, QUAINT FEEL.

IT IS A COMMUNITY DEEP IN TRADITION.

TELLS PEOPLE THEY ARE RECOGNIZED -- FROM ONE GENERATION TO THE NEXT.

AND WHILE THE TOWN CONTINUES TO GROW WITH NEW BUSINESSES AND FOLKS THAT WOULD LIKE TO CALL IT HOME, IT'S PRESERVES THE SMALL TOWN CULTURE.

THERE ARE FRIENDS AND WELCOMES YOU TO.

>> MUST UNDERSTAND, WHEN THEY NAMED THE PLACE, THEY WANTED TO MAKE CERTAIN THAT ANY STRANGER COMING TO THAT PLACE WOULD RECOGNIZE WHAT IT WAS.

THE INDIAN NAME FOR CHIP HATCH CHET MEANS WHEREBY THE SKIES, CLOUD STREAM DIVIDES.

WE'VE SEEN IT FOR YEARS.

I'VE BEEN IN HERE.

MY GRANDMOTHER WAS A MIDWIFE HERE.

SOME ARE RESIDENTS, HAVE SEEN IT HAPPEN.

WHERE CLOUDS WILL GO AROUND US.

THAT IS BECAUSE OF THE SUMMER WINDS, WE HAVE TWO HILLS, WEST OF US, THAT FLIP THE CLOUDS.

AND THERE IT IS.

BY THE SKIES, CLOUD STREAMS.

>>> ♪ [ MUSIC ] ♪ ♪ >>> THIS IS A QUIET QUIET COUNTRY TOWN THAT EVERYONE WANTS TO DRIVE THROUGH.

THIS IS A PART OF THE EARLY TURNPIKE SYSTEM.

AND THE TURNPIKE SYSTEM CAME FROM THIS SIDE OF THE BRIDGE, THE NORTH SIDE OF THE BRIDGE, ALL THE WAY TO CONNECTICUT.

CALLED THE TURNPIKE -- AND IT IS THE FIRST COMMERCIAL TOLL ROAD IN THE COUNTRY.

AND ONE OF THE LAST, IF NOT THE LAST -- AND WE'RE STILL TRAVELING THAT SAME ROAD.

AS A MATTER OF FACT, THAT SAME ROAD IS THE GREAT WILDERNESS PASS, THAT TIND YANS TOOK -- THE INDIANS TOOK COMING OUT OF MASSACHUSETTS ALL THE WAY THROUGH PROVIDENCE.

ALL THE WAY THROUGH HATCHET AND ON TO PARTS OF -- ON THE CONNECTICUT RIVER.

GRADUALLY IT OPENED UP.

BUT IT IS STILL THE SAME WILDERNESS PASS.

THE POPULATION CONTINUES WEST.

YOU KNOW, I MEAN BY THAT, MASSACHUSETTS STATE COLONY UP HERE IN MASSACHUSETTS, WAS VERY, VERY STRICT.

THE CONNECTICUT PEOPLE R WERE VERY STRICT.

THE RHODE ISLAND -- AND THEY COULD COME HERE AND FEEL CONFIDENT.

THEY COULD COME HERE FROM THE CAPE, THEY COULD COME HERE FROM THE COLONY, AND THEY COULD STAY HERE AND THEY FELT COMFORTABLE.

AS A CONSEQUENCE, MANY FAMILIES STAYED FOR SEVERAL GENERATIONS.

THESE PEOPLE NOW COMING FROM ALL OVER THE COUNTRY, ARE LOOKING FOR PEOPLE IN RHODE ISLAND TO ANSWER SOME OF THEIR QUESTIONS ABOUT THEIR ANCESTORS.

AND I GET A LOT OF THAT.

IN SOME CASES, ACTUALLY TAKE PEOPLE TO THEIR ANCESTRAL HOMES OR THE SITES OF THEIR ANCESTRAL HOMES.

27 ROOM BUILDING, IT LASTED FOR JUST A 100 YEARS.

IN 1913.

AND CERTAINLY, THERES WAS ALL MANNER OF THINGS GOING ON THERE, NOT AT ONCE, BUT OVER THE YEARS.

IT'S THE LARGEST OF OUR HOTELS.

AND IT'S CERTAINLY -- DANCE CLASSES, EPISCOPAL CHURCH, A 100 PORS STALLS.

-- HORSE STALLS THAT WAS ADJACENT TO IT.

SO PEOPLE COULD COME FROM MILES AROUND.

AND FEEL COMFORTABLE THAT THEIR ANIMALS WERE SAFE, WELL FED, AND UNDER COVER.

IT BURNED IN 1915.

HAD NO FIRE FIGHTING APPARATUS AT THAT TIME.

EVERYONE WAS GRABBING WHATEVER WAS WET OUT THE DOOR AND -- FIGHT THE FIRE.

THAT DIDN'T WORK.

ONLY THE BEGINNING, BECAUSE I KNOW -- SO A HUGE WHITE -- THAT WAS HERE ON -- AT THE END OF -- FOUR AND FIVE STORIES HIGH.

EMPLOY ABOUT 300 WORKERS, AND THAT BURNED IN 1987.

SO YOU SEE, ONE THING RIGHT AFTER ANOTHER.

THEN IN 1907, WE HAD FIRE THAT STARTED AT THE -- ONE OF THE STORES IN TOWN, AT THE BACK OF THE STORE.

AND BEFORE THEY KNEW IT, THERE WAS -- THE STORE, THE BARN BEHIND IT, THE HOUSE NEXT TO IT, EVERYTHING WAS GOING.

IT WAS PUSHED BY A WIND FROM THE NORTH.

AND IT JUMPED AND CONTINUES TO ENGULF HOUSES AS IT WENT.

AND FORTUNATELY, THE WINDS DID TURN SO THAT WE DO HAVE SOME THAT ARE LEFT AND THAT REALLY -- THE HEART OUT OF THAT AREA.

COMPLETELY.

ALL TOGETHER CHANGED.

ONLY A PART OF IT.

AND WE HAD LITTLE -- THE IN CLARKVILLE, HARMONY HAS -- HAD ITS OWN LITTLE HAMLET -- CHAPEL THERE.

A WONDERFUL LIBRARY.

AND CERTAINLY, AN EXTREMELY ACTIVE FIRE DEPARTMENT.

>> IN PAST HISTORY, WE HAVE -- OVER THE YEARS, THE FIRE THAT WE DID HAVE IN THE TOWN, MANY OF THEM WERE DUE TO THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE HOMES.

CONSTRUCTION OF THE HOMES HERE, THEY VARY IN AGE.

THEY VARY IN SIZES.

BUT THEY ALSO VARY FROM THE ALL STYLE OF THE FARMHOUSES, WHERE YEARS AGO, THERE WAS A LOT OF FARMING HERE, SO THE NEW CONSTRUCTION OF THE HOMES, SOME OF THE HOMES DO DATE BACK TO THE EARLY 1900S AND THEN HERE WE ARE TODAY TO THE PRESENT, HOPES JUST BUILT RECENTLY HERE IN 2013.

MANY OF THEM WERE DUE TO THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE HOMES, BUT ALSO TO DO WITH DIFFERENT WAYS THEY WERE USING TO HEAT THEIR HOMES BACK WHEN THEY WERE USING WOOD AND COAL TO HEAT THEIR HOMES.

WE HAVE WENT THROUGH THE HISTORY AND THE RECORDS SHOW THAT MANY FIRES OCCURRED BECAUSE OF THAT.

>> ONE OF THE WAYS THAT THEY WOULD KEEP TRACK OF WHAT WAS GOING ON AND THE CAUSE OF THE -- CALLS OF THE RESPONSE, BACK IN FEBRUARY 25TH, 1953, AT 11:30, HOW THEY RESPONDED TO A REPORTED ALARM OF A FIRE, AND CAME IN THROUGH WHAT THEY USED BACK THEN -- PEOPLE USED TO DIAL IN AND THERE WAS A RED PHONE THAT WAS KEPT IN THE HOUSE ACROSS THE STREET.

AND THIS WOMAN WOULD ANSWER THE PHONE AND THEN SHE WOULD ALERT THE FIRE PEOPLE THAT WERE IN THE VILLAGE BY BLOWING THE SIREN ON THE ROOF AND TELLING THEM TO RESPOND TO WHEREVER THE NEED -- BACK THEN.

THIS IS WHAT TRUCKS RESPONDED AND HOW MANY MEN CAME.

AND THIS IS THE GENTLEMAN THAT WAS BACK IN CHARGE.

AND THAT'S WHAT TIME THEY GOT BACK AT 12:35.

MAY 26TH, 1957.

SAME THING WHERE THEY HAD AN ALARM.

HOW H A HOUSE FIRE, HOW THEY RESPONDED AND HOW MANY TRUCKS THEY HAD THERE, NUMBER OF MEN.

THIS IS WHEN THEY GOT BACK AT 5:55.

THESE ARE THE PEOPLE THAT RESPONDED BACK THEN.

>> BUT, TODAY, PEOPLE BEING MORE SAFETYTY MINDED AND BUILDING CONSTRUCTIONS ARE BEING MORE STRINGENT, THAT WE HAVE REDUCE THEED OUR FIRE LOSS.

AND FIRE AND LIFE WAS HERE IN THE TOWN.

ONE OF THE BIGGEST THINGS THAT HAVE GONE FORWARD TO THE FIRE IS THE MS SERVICES.

THE EMS SERVICES ARE A BIG DEMAND HERE TO THE FIRES.

DAY-TO-DAY REQUEST FOR 911 CALLS.

[ SIRENS ] .

>> SOME OF THE CHALLENGES THAT WE HAVE HERE MANY THE FIRE DISTRICT TODAY IS KEEPING UP WITH THE DEMANDS.

THESE PEOPLE DO VOLUNTEER THEIR TIME WHERE THE EDUCATION PROCESS JUST TO BE, TO PUT IT -- IN THE BACK OF THAT RESCUE, IS ABOUT A YEAR OF EDUCATION THAT THESE PEOPLE HAVE TO DO BEFORE THEY EVEN STEP INTO THE BACK OF THAT RESCUE, TO PROVIDE THAT I'M SORRY SERVICE AND THEN ANOTHER 6 -- EPPS SERVICE AND THEN ANOTHER SIX MONTHS OF FIRE TRAINING.

>> AS YOU ENTER INTO THE TOWN, IT'S ONE OF THE FIRST BUILDINGS THAT YOU DO SEE.

A GOOD LOCATION.

AND THE IMPACT THAT IT DOES HAVE -- ROUTE 44 HAS BECOME THE BUSIER ROAD AS THE SDPRAFK POPULATION GROWS.

>> YOU CAN SEE HOW THE BUILDING HAS GROAN SINCE 194 -- GROWN SINCE 2924 -- 1924.

THE FIRE DEPARTMENT SIGN.

AND THEN AS THE BUILDING HAS GROWN.

>> THE CHRISTMAS TREE THAT WE LIGHT EVERY YEAR.

IT'S A TRADITION THAT WE DO WITH THE CHILDREN IN THE COMMUNITY.

THIS IS A REAL TRADITIONAL THING, THIS IS A APPROXIMATEIC CHUR THAT WAS -- PICTURE THAT WAS GIVEN TO ME, AND IT SHOWS WAY, WAY BACK.

IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN A TRADITION HERE AT THE THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.

USUALLY THE FIRST -- ALWAYS THE FIRST AFTER THANKSGIVING THAT SANTA COMES TO THE FIRE STATION AND BRINGS GIFTS FOR THE CHILDREN WITHIN THE COMMUNITY.

AND I'M PROUD TO SAY THAT HERE IT IS IN 2014, AND WE HAVE BEEN HOLDING THIS TRADITION UP FOR MANY, MANY, MANY YEARS WHERE THE MEMBERS OF THIS DEPARTMENT, COLLECT FUPDS, AND TO -- FUNDS, AND PURCHASE GIFTS SO THAT WE CAN GIVE TO THE CHILDREN WITHIN THE COMMUNITY.

SANTA COMES ON THIS FIRE TRUCK EVERY SINGLE YEAR.

WE HAVE ENTERTAINMENT FOR THEM EVERY SINGLE YEAR.

IT'S A GOOD TIME.

IT'S A REALLY, REALLY GOOD TIME.

IT SHOWS ABOUT FAMILY AND HOW WE LIKE TO GIVE BACK TO TO THE COMMUNITY, NOT ONLY WITH THE FIRE AND EMS SERVICES, BUT GIVE BACK IN ANY FASHION THAT WE HAVE.

>> MY NAME IS THOMAS -- AND I'M A PAR NORMAL RESEARCH -- PARA NORMAL RESEARCHER.

IT'S VERY SDWREEGING TO ME -- INTRIGUING TO ME.

THERE'S SO MUCH HISTORY THAT EXISTS THERE THAT HAS NOT BEEN, I GUESS, CROSSED BY THE WHEELS OF PROGRESS.

OBVIOUSLY, WE'RE NOT THE ONLY ONES WHO -- MANY PEOPLE HAVE STAYED BEHIND LONG AFTER THEIR TENURE ON THIS EARTH TO REMAIN IN THAT WONDERFUL LITTLE SECTION OF TOWN.

IT IS NOT ONLY SEVERAL BUILDINGS ARE HAUNTED, BUT ONE BUILDING IN PARTICULAR THAT'S -- A STAGECOACH.

THE MOST HAUNTED BUILDING IN THE STATE OF RHODE ISLAND.

HAS A VERY, VERY ILLUSTRIOUS HISTORY.

THE HOUSE BEING BUILT IN 1760, THAEN TURNED INTO -- THEN TURNED INTO A TAVERN IN 1799, WHERE COUNTLESS TRAVELERS WOULD HAVE A MEAL AND STAY THE NIGHT.

ALSO THE SCENE OF THE -- IN 1942.

YOU HAVE A RIPE SITUATION FOR A HAUNTING.

AND I CAME ACROSS THE IDEA OF IT BEING HAUNTED BECAUSE I USED TO LIVE NEAR THERE, AND YIEZED TO STOP BY -- WE USED TO STOP BY THERE EVER SO OFTEN.

AND THE OWNER FOUND OUT I WAS A PARA NORMAL INVESTIGATE R AND STARTED TEGING STORIES.

-- STARTED TELLING STORIES.

WE HAVE FREQUENTLY -- YOU SEE CALLS, E-MAILS AND OTHER KINDS OF MEDIA PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD EXPERIENCES THERE.

IN FACT, EVERY TIME WE MENTION THE TAVERN, SOMEBODY HAS SOMETHING TO SAY ABOUT SOMETHING THAT HAS HAPPENED THERE IN THE PARA NORMAL SENSE.

DURING ONE OF THE INVESTIGATIONS, WE WOULD -- THE EMS NEEDED -- TELLING NOTHING MORE THAN THE DIFFERENT AREAS WHERE THERE'S A LOT OF WIRING OR A T LOT -- A LOT OF ELECTRICAL FREQUENCIES.

AS WE FINISHED THE INVESTIGATION, WE THOUGHT WE DID, WENT TO SIT IN THE TAVRP WITH A SDPREND THEY WOULD SIT -- WITH A FRIEND AND THEY WOULD SIT NEXT TO A BUNCH OF WINE GLASSES AND THEY WOULD TALK ABOUT THE CLATH LICK SCHOOL AND RELIGION.

ONE OF THEM SAYS SOMETHING AZ WAS WALKING BY, AND ONE OF THE GLASSES EXPLODED INTO A MILLION PIECE, NOT ONLY ALL OVER THEM, BUT EVERYBODY IN THE AREA THAT WAS SITTING NEAR THEM.

WHEN WE HAD IT TESTED BY A CRYSTAL EXPERT, HE SAID THE ONLY WAY THAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED IS IF SOMEONE CAME OUT ON IT WITH A HAMMER.

GHOSTS OF THE TRAVRN.

>> I HE WAS LAUGHING A LITTLE -- THE TV CAME DOWN TO THE FLOOR AND MADE THIS GENTLEMAN FROM -- HE WAS SCARED.

>> THE NEXT GENTLEMAN WHO HAD OPENED BUP THE I WOULDING AND HE SAID, OH -- OPENED UP THE BUILDING, A LITTLE BOY STANDING IN THE DINING ROOM AND HE CALLED TO THE LITTLE BOY, HE WAS AFRAID SOMEONE HAD LEFT THEIR CHILD ONE NIGHT.

AND COME CLAIM NEM.

AND THE LITTLE BOY TURNED AROUND AND WALKED THROUGH THE WALL.

>> EARLY THIS EVENING, THE SWEATER WAS TUGGED, AS IF IT WAS A CHILD.

>> THE LITTLE BOY HAS BEEN SEEN BY MANY PEOPLE.

>> A LOT OF PEOPLE SOOEN SEE HIM AROUND HERE AND HE WAS VERY HAPPY AND TALKING TO US.

BECAUSE HE WAS HAPPY THAT HE WAS WEARING A WHITE SUIT.

HE WAS BURIED IN.

PEOPLE SEE THE LITTLE BOY ALL THE TIME.

>> WAS ASKING A QUESTION, BECAUSE SOMEHOW WE GET THE IDEA HE MAY HAVE GOTTEN HURT.

>> HE TOUCHED THE WALL.

.

>> GIGGLING, YOU CAN HEAR THIS LITTLE CHILD, AND GIGGLING FOR FIVE OR SIX SECONDS.

AND THE MAN AT THE GAS STATION ONE DAY WAS TELLING ME WHILE THE PLACE WAS CLOSED IN 2007 IN BETWEEN OWNERS, HE WENT -- WIFE BRINGS HIM LUNCH EVERY DAY AND HE WENT OUT TO GET HIS LUNCH AND HE SAW THE LITTLE BOY LOOKING OUT THE TAVERN INDO YOU.

WOW, THIS PLACE IS ICE COLD.

THE BUILDING HAS BEEN CLOSED DOWN AND THERE'S THIS LITTLE BOY.

AS SHE WENT TO WALK TOWARD HIM, HE JUST VANISHED.

THE WAY WE SPEAK, WE PUSH AIR.

AND OUR EARS ARE DESIGNED TO VIBRATE AND WHEN THEY VIBRATE, THEY VIE DIFFERENT FREQUENCIES THAT ARE, YOU KNOW, MAKES US SO WE CAN HEAR THIS AUDIO FREQUENCY.

AND THE MICROPHONES ON OUR RECORDER DO THE SAME THING, THEY HAVE A TRANCE DEUCEER THAT VIBRATE, AND IT TURNS INTO ELECTRONIC SIGNALS AND THAT'S HOW WE CAN REPLAY WHAT HAPPENED.

ALICE IS A WOMAN IN THE BOOTH IN THE FAR CORNER, THEY USED TO CALL HER ELIZABETH.

BUT ON TWO OCCASIONS, WE RECEIVE RECORDINGS THAT WERE ASKING NAMES, WE GOT ALICE.

ONE OF THEM IS FROM WHAT PEOPLE CALL A CELL PHONE TO THE DEAD.

IT WAS THOMAS EDISON'S ORIGINAL ININVESTIGATION ON TRYING TO SPEAK TO THE DEAD AND HAVE HIM SPEAK BACK TO HIM, YOU WOULD HEAR IT BY HAVING THE RADIO GO THROUGH FREQUENCIES.

.

>> OH, MY GOD.

>> WE WERE ASKING, WHAT IS YOUR NAME, MY NAME IS TOM.

WHAT IS YOUR NAME?

AND CLEAR AS ANYTHING, GOING RIGHT OVER THE FREQUENCIES, MY NAME IS ALICE.

.

>> WE ARE ENERGY.

AND ENERGY CANNOT BE CREATED OR DESTROYED, IT CAN ONLY BE TRANSMITTED FT BUT ENERGY IS ALSO EVERYTHING ALL AROUND US, FROM THE AIR WE BREATHE, WHICH YOU CAN'T SEE, TO WIND, WHICH ONLY MAKES ITSELF VISIBLE WHEN IT PUSHES AND MOVES OBJECT, AND YET, THAT'S ENERGY ALSO.

WHEN PEOPLE DIE OR PASS AWAY, THEIR ENERGY COULD STAY TOGETHER OR IT COULD BE IN THE AREA THAT YOU'RE IN THAT THE ENERGY IS LOCKED INTO AND STAYS AS A FORM.

PEOPLE SHOULD NEVER BE FEARFUL OF GOING TO THE TAVERN ON THE MAIN FOR SEVERAL REASONS.

ONE, THE GHOSTS ARE FAMILY, YOU KNOW, KIND OF EXCITING, YOU MAY SEE SOMETHING REALLY COOL, TOO.

BUT THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT GO THERE, GOOD COMPANY, AND THE FOOD IS INCREDIBLE.

>>> NO SCHOOL?

>> GOOD DAY, MY NAME IS THOMAS -- 1842.

BUT WE ARE 44 AND TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH IS CHANGE YOUR STATE CHARTER, DISENFRANCHISING -- RHODE ISLAND, RUN FOR GOVERNOR THIS YEAR IN 1842 AGAINST KING -- ALLOW ALL FREE MEN THE RIGHT TO VOTE.

GOVERNOR KING, REFUSING TO ACKNOWLEDGE HIS VOTE AND REFUSES TO ALLOW ME TO TAKE MY SEAT.

UNFORTUNATE LISHGS HE HAS DECLARED MARSHAL ORDER AGAINST ME TO PREVENT ME FROM DOING SO AND HAS PUT A WARRANT OUT OUT FOR MY ARREST.

AT THIS TIME, I'M NOT SURE WHAT I'M GOING TO DO, BUT I VOW TO FIGHT IT.

VOW TO TAKE IT IN OPPOSITION.

THOSE TWO CANDIDATES.

AND THE GOVERNOR SHIP OF THE STATE OF RHODE ISLAND, PEACEFULLY, IF WE CAN, FORCEFULLY, IF WE MUST.

THIS FIGHT -- DUE TO THE -- AND UNFORTUNATELY, I'VE SET MY TROOPS BACK TO SAFETY OF MY HEADQUARTERS AND -- AND ALSO TO FORTIFY THE HILL -- CEMETERY.

BEGAN FIRING UPON OVER THE HILL, INTO THE TOWN.

AND NOW THAT LED TO THE MISPERCEPTION THAT THE BATTLE ACTUALLY STARTED AND COMMENCED IN THE TOWN OF CHIP HATCHET.

GOVERNOR EVENTUALLY RETURNED TO RHODE ISLAND TO FACE THE CHARGES OF TREEZEN.

HE UNFORTUNATELY WAS FOUND GUILTY OF TREESEN AND SPENT LIFE IN PRISON.

WHICH WAS APPROXIMATELY ONE YEAR, HE WAS EVENTUALLY CHARGED TO ALLOW ALL FREE MEN THE RIGHT TO VOTE OVER THE AGE OF 21.

SIGNED BY GOVERNOR KING, THE INCUMBENT, WHO WE FOUGHT AGAINST FOR SEVERAL YEARS.

THAT GIVES STUDENTS THE OPPORTUNITY IN A VERY TENSE ENVIRONMENT TO DEVELOP SKILLS THEY CAN USE IN BUSINESS AND IN COLLEGE.

THE 3 PATHWAYS THAT WE SET UP HELP IN MANY WAYS.

INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY.

PROGRAM THE ROBOTS, AND THE ENGINEERING DESIGN.

I WAS NOT EXPECTING THIS BIG ROOM FULL OF PEOPLE.

ROBOTS THROW A BALL 7 FEET INTO THE AIR.

IT WAS REALLY EXCITING TO BE IN THE ROOM FULL OF PEOPLE THAT WERE ENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT ENNEARING AND BIDDING SOMETHING THAT WORKED AND WORKING AS A TEAM.

>> I REMEMBER BEING A LITTLE KID, HEARING ABOUT BUILDING A ROBOTIC -- IMPOSSIBLE TASK TO DO.

AND THEN YOU GO THERE AND SEE ALL THE ROBOTS WERE THAT BUILT BY A NORMAL KID.

.

>> THAT THE QUALITY OF YOUR WORK MATTER, THE TIMELINESS OF YOUR SUBMISSIONS MATTER, AND HOW WELL YOU CONTRIBUTEED TO OTHER MEMBERS OF YOUR TEAM, ALL MATTER TO YOUR SUCCESS.

>> THERE ARE BEEN TIMES WHERE I HATED GOING TO SCHOOL, BUT THE FACT THAT I KEPT GOING, MAKES ME WANT TO GO TO SCHOOL.

.

>> WE HAVE BEEN ENTERING FLOATS IN THE 4TH OF JULY PARADE AND WE HAVE BEEN IN 36 PARADES, AND DURING THOSE YEARS, WE'VE WON BEST OF THE PARADE IN MOST OF THOSE YEARS.

>>> THE PARADE IS A FAMILY AFFAIR.

ALL OF US GET TOGETHER AND DECIDE ON A THEME.

IT'S A SECRET -- WE HAVE A SECRET MEETING, WITH SECRET MINUTES, AND WE DON'T LET IT OUT TO ANYBODY IN THE PUBLIC.

MY BROTHER KEN IS AMAZING.

HE CAN TAKE A PIECE OF METAL, WELD SOMETHING TO IT, PUT WIRE ON IT AND TURN IT INTO AN ANIMAL.

HE CAN TURN TRASH INTO TREASURE.

>> I'M A FLOAT ARTIST AND I PUT ALL THE FACIAL FEATURES AND ALL THE FUR AND FEATHERS AND TO MAKE THE ANIMAL LOOK REAL.

AS WE'RE COMING DOWN PARADE ROUTE, THERE'S PEOPLE LINED UP ON BOTH SIDES OF THE STREET, OUR MUSIC IS BLASTING OUT OF THE SPEAKERS IN THE FRONT OF THE TRUCK.

WE ALSO HAVE ANOTHER SOUND SYSTEM ON THE TRUCK ITSELF, BUT SOMETIMES WE PLAY MULTIPLE SONG, BUT PEOPLE ARE CHEERING AND CLAPPING.

>> THE CROWD PUMPS US UP.

THEY'RE CHEERING, YELLING, JUMPING, DANCING WITH THE MUSIC.

AND IT REALLY GETS US, YOU KNOW, MORE INTO OUR ROLE.

>> IF MORE -- FOR MANY OF THE THEMES THAT I'VE CHOSEN, MY ROLE HAS TO BE ON TOP OF THE TRUCK, MAKING A TYPE OF A PIPE.

I WAS THE GRIN CH WHEN WE DID TIZ THE SEASON.

I WAS A PUS AND BOOTS AND I WAS RIDING UNDER THE TELEPHONE POLE, RIDING UNDER A DRAGON WITH THE WINGS FLAPPING.

>> TWO YEARS AGO IS WAS A SKUNK IN THE PARADE WE DID HAVING A BAD DAY.

AND I WAS JUST WALKING DOWN THE STREET, HAD A LITTLE SQUIRT BOTTLE THAT I WOULD PRETEND TO SPRAY PEOPLE WITH OR I WOULD WALK DOWN THE ROAD AND PRETEND TO BE ROAD KILL.

SO I THOUGHT THAT WAS REALLY HAVING A BAD DAY.

>> I GET TO PLAY INDIANA JONES, WHICH WAS ONE OF THE FUNNEST ROLES I'VE EVER PLAYED.

MY BROTHER MADE A HILL AND THEN A GIGANTIC ROCK OUT OF PAPER MA SHAY.

AND BEING INDIANA JONES, I HAD TO AVOID THE ROCK COMING DOWN THE HILL.

IT WOULD ROLL DOWN THE HILL AND I HAD TO JUMP DOWN IN THE HOLE JUST AS THE ROCK WENT OVER MY HEAD AND I DID THAT OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN, ALL THE WAY DOWN THE PARADE ROUTE.

IT WAS SO MUCH FUN.

EARLIEST FLOATS WAS JUST A TRUCK.

THE WHOLE LENGTH OF THE FLOAT IS 125 FEET.

>> AND ALL THE FAMILY GETS INVOLVED.

EVEN MY GRANDMOTHER.

WHO WAS 77 IN HER FIRST FLOAT.

SHE WAS A QUEEN BEE AND SHE WAS A PIRATE AND SHE JUST REALLY ENJOYED BEING MANY THE PARADE.

♪ [ MUSIC ] ♪ ♪ .

>> MY WIFE AND I HAVE BOUGHT A BIG OLD FARM OUT HERE IN RHODE ISLAND.

WE HAVE CLOSE TO 40 ACRES.

AND WE'RE VERY EXCITED.

WE BOUGHT THE OLD ANDREW BROWN HOMESTEAD.

WHERE WE HAVE BEAUTIFUL ROLLING HILLS AND WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO PLANT SOME GREAT GRAPES OUT HERE.

THE UNIQUENESS ABOUT THIS THE 300--YEAR-OLD FARM IS THAT IT'S IN PROBABLY SOME OF THE BEST SOILS IN RHODE ISLAND.

IT'S AN OUT WASH PLAIN AND ALL THE TOP LOOM WAS DUFRPD BY -- BACK IN THE DAY -- DUMPED BY -- BACK IN THE DAY.

GOOD SOIL IS GOING TO GIVE YOU A GOOD GRAPEVINE.

AND THE WARM DAYS AND COOL NIGHTS ARE GOING TO BRING THE SUGAR LEVEL UP TO THE GRAPES AND THE COOL NIGHTS WILL BRING THE ACID DOWN.

IT'S GOING TO MAKE A REALLY NICE GRAPE.

WE HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO PLANT ANYWHERE FROM 10-20 ACRES HERE IN RHODE ISLAND.

ONE OF MY GOOD FRIENDS DESCRIBED IT AS A FIELD OF SIX.

AND I THINK THAT'S A FUNNY STATEMENT, BUT IT'S TRUE.

IF YOU PLANT FIVE GRAPEVINES IN A ROW, YOU EXPECT THEM TO ALL DO THE SAME.

IF THEY HAVE ALL THE SAME NUTRITION, WATER, BUT THEY JUST DON'T.

SOMETIMES ALL WILL DO GREAT AND ONE WILL NEVER MAKE IT.

YOU HAVE TO PULL IT OUT AND REPLANT.

THROUGHOUT THE SEASON, IT'S PRETTY EXCITING TO SEE THE GRAPEVINES COME UP FROM LITTLE SHOOTS TO GET THE LITTLE BABY CLUSTERS.

AND THE LEAVES TO MIDWAY THROUGH THE SEASON, YOU CAN'T EVEN CONTROL THE GROWTH.

YOU HAVE TO PRUNE THEM BACK, YOU HAVE TO MAKE HUR THE -- MAKE SURE THAT THE LEAVES ARE AWAY FROM THE GRAPES TO MAKE SURE THEY GET GOOD EXPOSURE.

IF YOU LET ONE SIDE SIT IN THE SUN ALL DAY, YOU'LL GET BURN ON THE GRAPES.

AND ONE SIDE OF THE BERRY WILL BE PERFECTLY RIPE AND THE OTHER SIDE WON'T.

IF YOU PLANT NORTH TO SOUTH, WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO NORTH TO SOUTH, THE SUN WILL COME UP AND E EVENLY HIT THE BERRIES ON BOTH SIDES.

YOU COME ALONG AND YOU PRUNE THEM AND THEY'LL ALL BE ON THE WIRE, SO IT'S VERY STRAIGHTFORWARD AND VERY EASY TO PRUNE.

SO THESE ARE IN 36 POUND LUGS, WHAT THEY CALL THEM.

AND WE PUT THEM ON THE BACK OF THE TRACTOR AND WE PULL THEM IN.

AND THEN WE BRING IT UP HERE TO THE WINERY, WHETHER IT'S A WHITE WINE, WE PRESS IT RIGHT AWAY.

IF IT'S A RED WINE, WE LET IT SIT ON THE SKIN, INTO THE PRIMARY FERMENTATION TANK.

AND THEN WE PRESS IT OFF AFTER ABOUT 14 DAYS.

I THINK THE HARDEST PART IS THE CLEANING.

IS MAKING SURE EVERYTHING IS STERILE AND CLEAN.

SO WE USE A BLEND OF TWO DIFFERENT TYPES OF -- WE USE WHAT THEY CALL SODA ASH, A MIXTURE THAT WE SELL, AND THEN WE USE CITRIC ACID, WHICH COMES FROM -- MAKES SURE THAT'S PRETTY SAFE.

ESPECIALLY IF YOU'RE USING PLASTIC, WHAT HAPPENS IS THE PLASTIC WILL GET PITTED, AND IT WILL GET STAINED.

THERE'S ALWAYS RESIDUAL BACTERIA IN THERE AND YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU'RE ALWAYS AHEAD OF THE BACTERIA.

YOU WANT TO KEEP IT CLEAN.

SO THAT YOU GET A GOOD WINE AND IT DOESN'T COME PART ANY SPOILAGE.

THIS IS CALLED -- BEGINNING THE WIRE.

WE'RE GOING TO BE PRESSING THEM AND DESTEMMING THEM TODAY.

WE'RE GOING TO BE MAKING A BLUSH WINE SO LIT BE A NICE WINE FOR THE SUMMER NEXT YEAR.

IT TAKES A WHILE, PROBABLY GOING TO SIT IN A STAINLESS STEEL TANK FOR PROBABLY 6-8 MONTHS.

>> LOOK AT THESE CLUSTERS.

WHOLLY COW, LOOK AT THIS ONE.

THAT'S GREAT.

♪ [ MUSIC ] ♪ ♪ >>> IT HELPS WITH THE BACTERIAL STOIL AJ, IT GIVES THE YEAST MORE OF THE THE ADVANTAGE.

THE ADVANTAGE.

SO WE'RE LOOKING AT PROBABLY ABOUT 11%.

>> READY?

>> YEAH.

.

>> AS THE BLADDER EXPANDS, IT PUSHES, THE GRAPE, THE SKIN, AND IT STARTS TO DRIZZLE RIGHT OUT TO TO THE CATCH BASIN, THAT GOES RIGHT INTO THE BUCKET.

.

>> I LIKE PLANTING, I LIKE PRUNING, TAKING CARE OF THE GRAPES.

SELLING IS FUN TOO, YOU GET TO MEAT A LOT OF DIFFERENT PEOPLE.

SOME PEOPLE WANT TO KEEP IN AND DRINK AND OTHER PEOPLE WANT TO HANG OUT AND SHARE THEIR STORIES.

STORIES.

>> NOT TOO SWEET.

IT'S NOT TOO DRY.

>> IT'S REFRESHING.

IT'S SOMETHING YOU CAN DRINK ON A HOT SUMMER'S DAY.

SOMETHING YOU CAN CURL UP BY A FIRE AND ENJOY IN THE WINTER TIME.

SO VERY UNIVERSAL.

IT'S FUN.

I TRY NOT TO TELL THEM WHAT THEY'RE TASTING BECAUSE EVERYONE INTERPRETING THINGS DIFFERENTLY.

BUT IT'S ALWAYS INTERESTING TO SEE WHAT THE NEXT PERSON TASTES.

>> AND THEN WE'LL BOTTLE IT AND PUT A LABEL ON IT AND SELL IT AT THE WINERY.

.

>> DELICIOUS.

.

>> HI, HOW ARE YOU?

>> MOST OF MY FRIENDS LOVE COMING OUT FOR THE PRESS BECAUSE AFTER A RED WINE PRESS, YOU HAVE TO SAMPLE IT TO MAKE SURE IT'S GOOD.

>> YEAH.

♪ [ MUSIC ] ♪ ♪ >>> JUST REMEMBER THAT WEST GLESER IS A VERY IMPORTANT PART OF THE TOWN EVEN IF WE DON'T HAVE A POST OFFICE HERE ANYMORE.

AND COUNTRY.

IT'S DEFINITELY RURAL.

WE HAVE WONDERFUL SUMMERS AND WE TOOK IT FOR GRANTED THAT WE COULD COME AND WERE HERE AND FAMILY WAS HERE TO LOOK AFTER IT.

WE DIDN'T GET OUT VERY FAR AWAY FROM THE HOUSE.

WITH THE LITTLE BUILDING OUT BACK, THAT WE HAD FOR A PLAY HOUSE, BECAUSE MY GRANDMOTHER WOULDN'T WANT US CLUTTERING UP THE HOUSE WITH OUR NONSENSE.

>> I SPEPT A LOT OF TIME HERE WITH MY GRANDPARENTS WHEN MY MOTHER WAS WORKING.

MY MOTHER ENDED UP AT CLASSICAL HIGH SCHOOL, CLASS OF 1914.

IT TURNED OUT TO BE WHERE A VERY INTERESTING GROUP OF PEOPLE, INTERESTING FOR MY CHILDREN TO KNOW, BECAUSE THEY GREW UP IN A WORLD BEFORE THE FIRST WORLD WAR.

AND BY THE TIME THEY HAD THEIR 70TH REUNION IN 1984, MEN HAD WALKED ON THE MOON.

SO THAT IT WAS A VERY INTERESTING GROUP OF PEOPLE TO KNOW.

THEY HAD SEEN SO MUCH CHANGE IN THE WORLD.

USED TO BE THE WOMAN'S COLLEGE AT BROWN.

AND LATER ON IT WAS PEMBROKE.

NOW, IT'S THE WOMEN'S COLLEGE AT BROWN, AGAIN.

AND SHE WAS CLASS OF 1918.

ONE YEAR AT COLUMBIA, DID ALL THE WORK TO GET A MASTER'S FROM COLUMBIA, BUT SHE WOULD HAVE HAD TO PAY A $100 FOR A DEGREE, SO SHE NEVER GOT HER MASTER'S FROM COLUMBIA, EVEN THOUGH SHE HAD ALL THE CREDITS.

SHE CAME BACK, SHE HAD A MASTER'S FROM BROWN.

IF YOU GOT TO 8TH GRADE, THAT WAS CONSIDERED AN EDUCATION.

SHE WAS FAIRLY INNOVATIVE AND OBVIOUSLY A LEADER IN HER GENERATION.

PEOPLE HAD CEMETERY AS ON THEIR OWN PROPERTY BECAUSE THAT WAS THE ONLY PRACTICAL WAY TO DEAL WITH WITH A DIFFICULT SITUATION.

BECAUSE WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO LIVE IN THIS AREA ALL THESE YEARS, OUR CEMETERY IS HERE.

AND WE HAVE THE FIRST CEMETERY AS A LITTLE GIRL, IS BURIED IN 1793.

AND THE MOST RECENT GRADE IS A LITTLE GIRL THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN MY GREAT GRANDDAUGHTER AND SHE DIED VERY RECENTLY.

AND WE HAVE GRANDPARENTS, AUNT, UNCLES, SEVERAL GENERATIONS, EVER SINCE THE HOUSE WAS BUILT ABOUT 1971.

BUT IT'S IMPORTANT TO MAINTAIN THE AREA AND THE RESPECT FOR THE PEOPLE THAT CAME BEFORE YOU.

ONE OF HER FAVORITE QUOTES WAS, IN STUDYING A LOT OF HISTORY.

: IT'S TERRIBLY IMPORTANT TO KNOW ABOUT YOUR ANCESTORS, SO THAT YOU DON'T GO THROUGH LIFE BELIEVING YOU WERE SELF-MADE.

>> I CAME WITH MY GRANDMOTHER EVERY SUMMER FROM AS SOON AS WE WERE OUT OF SCHOOL TO THE DAY BEFORE WE WENT BACK.

FROGS, TURTLES, EVERYTHING ELSE, I LOVED IT.

I STILL LOVE IT.

THAT'S WHY I'M STILL HERE.

MY FATHER PUT IT, WE DESTROY THE REAL ESTATE STATISTICS.

EVERY HOUSE SELLS EVERY SIX YEARS AND THIS WASN'T HADN'T SOLD IN 225.

ANYBODY THAT WOULD SASHGS OH, WE'LL LET YOU -- YOU TURN RIGHT AT THE PURPLE CAT OR -- THE PURPLE CAT.

♪ [ MUSIC ] ♪ ♪ >>> I'M CAROL BRIGHT.

FORMERLY MOURN.

AND I WANT TO TELL YOU ABOUT MY FATHER WHO WOSHED A ONE MAN POLICE DEPARTMENT MANY YEARS AGO.

HE WAS APPOINTED CHIEF OF POLICE IN 1937 AND SERVED UNTIL 1941.

AND THEN AFTER THAT, HE WAS APPOINTED AGAIN IN 1950 AND SERVED UNTIL 1970.

DURING THAT TIME, HE WAS ALSO THE TOWN SERGEANT, WHICH INVOLVED SERVING SUMMONS AND CALLS TO COURT.

BUT THE THING I REMEMBER, ESPECIALLY IN THE EARLY FIRST MANY YEARS OF THE 20, HE WAS A CHIEF WHEN I WAS A CHILD, WAS THAT HE DID ALL OF HIS POLICE BUSINESS ON THE KITCHEN TABLE.

BECAUSE THERE WAS NO FORMAL POLICE DEPARTMENT.

SO HE WOULD DO HIS PAPERWORK THERE AT THE KITCHEN TABLE.

AND ON SATURDAY NIGHTS, HE'D GET ALL DRESSED UP IN HIS UNIFORM AND HE WOULD TOUR AROUND THE TOWN AND ALL THE BARROOMS AND MAKE SURE THAT THERE WERE NO FIGHTS GOING ON AND THEN HE'D COME HOME.

THE STATE POLICE HAD A PRESENCE IN TOWN, AND THEY TOOK CARE MAJOR HIGHWAYS, SO DAD'S JOB WAS PRETTY MUCH KEEPING THE HOT RODERS OFF THE STREET AS BEST AS HE COULD BECAUSE WE ALL KNOW HOW TEENAGERS LIKEED TO DRIVE AND SERVING SUMMONS AND AS HE SAID, IT WAS ONLY A FEW HOURS JOB.

HE RECEIVED A $100 A MONTH AS CHIEF OF POLICE.

AND PUT IN ABOUT 8 HOURS.

AND HE SAID HERE FOR THAT KIND OF MONEY, YOU CAN'T GO REAL STRONG.

AND THAT SOUNDS JUST LIKE MY DAD.

I COULD HEAR HIM SAYING THAT.

I ALWAYS THOUGHT HE LOOKED SO SPIF FI WHEN HE GOT DONE UP IN HIS UNIFORM AND WENT OUT.

WE COULD NEVER DO ANYTHING ON SATURDAY EVENINGS BECAUSE DAD HAD TO ALWAYS MAKE THE ROUNDS.

BUT IT WAS A GOOD TIME.

-- THE ALWAYS WOULD GET IN TROUBLE WITH HIS WIFE, AND MANY, MANY NIGHTS, ICA REMEMBER HIM COMING AND KNOCKING ON THE DOOR AND ASKING FOR MY FATHER'S HELP.

HIT HIM WITH A FRYING PAN AGAIN.

SO WE'D TAKE HIM HOME AND TALK HIM BACK INTO THE HOUSE AND THINGS WOULD SETTLE DOWN.

>> I DON'T REMEMBER ANY OTHER REALLY DIFFICULT THINGS.

HE WAS PRETTY EASY GOING GUY.

HE ALWAYS SEEMED TO SEE THE HUMOR IN MOST SITUATIONS.

I HAVE ONLY GOOD MEMORIES OF MY DAD.

I HAD THE UTMOST -- HE WAS MY BEST FRIEND AND IT WAS -- HE HAD THE BEST SENSE OF HUMOR OF ANYONE I EVER MET.

.

>> IT'S KIND OF HARD TO EXPLAIN, YOU'RE OUT THERE FOR TOTAL TRANQUILITY.

FROM END TO END, PROBABLY ALMOST TWO MILES, NOT EVEN -- A MILE AND A HALF.

A COUPLE OF LITTLE COVES AND AWESOME SANDBAR WHERE EVERYBODY GOES TO AND ANCHORS UP, YOU KNOW.

IF YOU DON'T KNOW THEM, IT DOESN'T MATTER.

THEY'RE JUST AS HAPPY AS YOU.

A LOT OF FISH.

AN ATTITUDE BECAUSE THEY'RE TOO SMART OUT HERE.

ME AND MY GIRLFRIEND, WE FISH ALMOST EVERYDAY OTHER DAY.

BUT THE MAIN THING IS YOU CAN GO OUT THERE AND FISH.

YOU KNOW.

WHETHER YOU CATCH ANYTHING OR NOT, I STILL COME OUT WITH A SMILE.

IT'S HARD TO GET ME OFF THIS LAKE IN THE SUMMER.

LIKE A PARTY OR GRADUATION OR WHATNOT.

YOU KNOW, ESPECIALLY, YOU KNOW, IF IT'S HOT AND, YOU KNOW, GOING TO SIT IN THE YARD.

I GET CLAUSTROPHOBIC.

THIS IS MY YARD.

I NEVER HAD THE TO MOW A LAWN EVER IN MY LIFE.

>> THAT'S OUR TOWN GLOCESTER.
