CUMBERLAND – Like many motorists who drive through the intersection of Diamond Hill Road and Nate Whipple Highway, Anastasia Kaufman says she was sick of looking at its overgrown grass and often unkempt appearance.
She decided to do something about it, approaching Steve Cascione, adopt-a-road coordinator with the Rhode Island Department of Transportation and previous ABC6 meteorologist, about adopting a corner here and another one at the corner of Mendon Road and Pound Road.
Cascione, who told her there has not been such a new request in a long time, approved it, and Kaufman got to work, partnering with Jason Pinto, of Level Acres Farm in Attleboro, who donated $600 worth of plants along with another $400 to beautify the spots.
They spent all afternoon on June 19 first hacking with machetes and then tilling the ground and placing plants, and adding soil and mulch. Bernie Newberg, Adam Rizzo, and Kaufman’s husband, Brian, all joined in, and Kaufman said she also invested significant dollars herself. She added a sign with her name and business, “Anastasia, RE/MAX Town & Country.”
