The news of the devastating fire which destroyed the Matunuck Oyster Barswept through the restaurant community in the state as quickly as it did thetown of South Kingstown.  As we havelearned so many times in the past, there is no industry that mobilizes to helplike the food service and restaurant community. This time, those in need are membersof that community. So within 24 hours of the fire, the Rhode Island HospitalityEducation Foundation of the Rhode Island Hospitality Association had alreadyestablished an official Employee Relief Fund. President and CEO Farouk Rajabwas out front leading the initiative. As he told me in an interview, it was theproverbial “no-brainer,”

Reporters Tim White, Eli Sherman and Amanda Milkovits break down testimony in the criminal trial of Aaron Thomas, including testimony from the defendant. This episode was recorded on location from outside Washington Superior Court in South Kingstown.

  In our latest episode of Front to the Films, we had the honor of hosting John Slemp, a distinguished photographer, author, and veteran, whose work shines a light on the stories of World War II through an unexpected yet deeply meaningful lens. His book, Bomber Boys: WWII Flight Jacket Art, is a visual masterpiece that celebrates the airmen of World War II by showcasing the artistry and stories behind their iconic flight jackets. Through this engaging conversation with our host, Colonel Tom Rendall (USA, Ret.), John takes us behind the scenes of his groundbreaking project, sharing his passion for history, the collaborative journey with world-class museums, and the inspiration he draws from his personal connection to the Greatest Generation. Key Takeaways from the Episode The Creation of Bomber Boys: WWII Flight Jacket Art John shared the motivation behind his book, which started with a desire to honor the men and women of World War II in a way that would resonate with younger generations. By focusing on flight jacket art, he uncovered a unique way to tell their stories—through symbols of identity, camaraderie, and bravery. Collaborating with Prestigious Institutions To bring his vision to life, John worked with renowned institutions, including the Smithsonian Air & Space Museum, the 390th Memorial Museum, and the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force. These partnerships provided access to rare artifacts and allowed John to capture the authenticity and emotional depth of these historical treasures. The Stories Behind the Art Each jacket featured in the book tells a story—of missions flown, comrades lost, and the enduring spirit of those who served. John revealed some of the most compelling stories he uncovered during his research, offering listeners a glimpse into the personal lives of the airmen and their families. Education and Inspiration for Future Generations John's work is about preserving history through his exceptional photography—but it's also about using it to inspire and educate. Bomber Boys: WWII Flight Jacket Art serves as a powerful teaching tool for schools and museums, connecting young people to the values and sacrifices of the Greatest Generation. Looking to the Future During the podcast, John hinted at exciting future projects, including a potential documentary based on the extensive research and stories gathered for the book. His commitment to ensuring these stories are never forgotten continues to drive his work. Why This Episode Matters John Slemp's work center's around the importance of preserving the personal stories of World War II. By focusing on something as unique as flight jacket art, he brings history to life in a way that is both accessible and deeply moving.

This week, we got Whalers Brewing Company (6:05) on the pod! The way that Josh Dunlap & Wes Staschke met wasn't exactly the most conventional. Josh was an ex-Marine, working as a commercial fisherman and daydreaming of owning his own brewery.  Wes, an engineer by day, homebrewed at night and had toyed around taking his love for brewing to the next level.  Before either of them knew what they were about to get into, they found themselves at Craigslist meetup, vetting each other out and seeing if their dreams were aligned.  More than ten years later, they've grown Whalers Brewing Company into one of New England's most recognizable beer brands.  In this live interview at their Palisades Mill location in South Kingstown,  Wes and Josh describe their journey of creating Whalers Rise, one of the most sought-after light craft beers in the region.  We also discuss expanding to other states, their dream location to see a Whalers beer on tap, and their venture into the seltzer space. There's plenty to be excited about in the sports world, as we turn a corner into the conference finals in both hockey and basketball.  In the NHL world, we debate if the Florida Panthers can outlast the mighty Carolina Hurricanes.  We also make our predictions for Vegas-Dallas in the West, and uncover some crazy storylines from the series' head coaches.  In the NBA, Boston has already taken a 1-0 deficit to the always-resurging Miami Heat.  Can they hold them off or is Jimmy Butler too much to handle?  We break down the conspiracies that Jimmy Butler is Michael Jordan's son.  We discuss the future of the Knicks, the Mavericks' tank job, and hopefully an incoming suspension for Ja Morant. We finish with rapid fire baseball and discuss what the MLS should do to become more relevant in the global soccer world. This episode is brought to you by DraftKings.

Hour 1- Road Show number 1 is underway from Whalers Brewing Company in South Kingstown, Rhode Island!  It wasn't always pretty, but the Celtics were able to stave off elimination and force a Game 7 with last night's 95-86 Game 6 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers. What did we learn about the Celtics last night, and how much confident are you in them moving forward? The gang discusses..  Jayson Tatum is now shooting 4-for-30 (13.3%) across his last three first halves, and he's also missed his last 19 consecutive shots in the first quarter. Wiggy points to Boston's lack offensive identity as the reason behind Jayson Tatum's slow starts. Is Tom Brady REALLY done? Wiggy doesn't think so. In fact, our former pro believes the Patriots honoring Tom Brady Week 1 will only strengthen his urge to return to football. Today's leads, including the inaugural GUEST leads!

Welcome back to the latest edition of the Providence Journal College Basketball Podcast. This is Journal sports writer Bill Koch. I'm joined as always by my two co-conspirators -- WPRI/Fox Providence sports director Morey Hershgordon and ABC6 sports director/WEEI weekend co-host Nick Coit. Providence's men (2:50) are 2-0 despite feeling their way through opening games against Rider and Northeastern. The Friars are trying to thread the needle between success and growth -- it's an interesting calculation for Ed Cooley. Rhode Island's men (14:10) have endured similar struggles in their first two games. Turnovers and poor shooting doomed the Rams against Quinnipiac and Texas State. More on that here. Bryant's men (24:30) made some headlines by slaughtering poor Thomas College in a matchup against a non-Division I opponents. We get into scheduling, why the Bulldogs shouldn't have to play such a game and more. South Kingstown native Keegan Records returned with Colgate and made life tough on the Brown men (39:30). The Bears are 0-3 against a difficult early schedule -- more on how they might be able to get well soon. URI hosts Providence in a women's rivalry battle at the Ryan Center on Monday night (50:30). A look at what the game means for the Rams and Friars along with a recap of their first week. Brown women (60:30) and Bryant women (63:00) also in action shortly. Thanks as always for joining us.

In South Kingstown, there's an odd monument hidden away in the bushes off Tower Hill Road. It's a four-sided granite pillar covered, from top to bottom on all sides, in a written inscription. And this inscription tells a story. But not one of a famous battle or prominent leader or politician or historical landmark. It tells the story of a gruesome murder that took place here.To Visit: Map to Koch Eye Associates in Wakefield, at 20 Hampton Way, Wakefield, RI 02879. Park in the Koch parking lot near the business's dumpster. The monument is directly behind the dumpster. It's in thick brush. You won't see it at first, but if you walk to the edge of the busy road (be safe) right in line with the dumpster, you'll see a break in the bushes where the monument is hidden. Episode Source MaterialJackson Was Murdered And Carter Was Hanged For It-But That Is All We're Sure About - Online Review of Rhode Island HistoryMemoirs of the Rhode Island Bar | Wilkins UpdikeThe Narragansett Historical Register | Volume 1 1882-3The Narragansett Historical Register | Volume II 1883-84The Narragansett Historical Register | Volume VII 1889State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations at the End of the Century: A History | 1902Literary Gossip, Criticisms of Books and Local Historical Matters Connected with Rhode Island | 1902South Kingstown Public Library Digital Collections | Hazard Diary 009Joseph Peace Hazard PapersMysterious Carter Jackson Monument, South Kingstown, Rhode IslandJoseph Peace Hazard: Rhode Island Spiritualist · Introduction · Special Collections ExhibitsMurder memorials: A grisly history written in stone - BBC NewsMurder stone - WikipediaThe Gibbet: A Disturbing Execution Practice Meant To Deter CriminalsThe Gibbet — History's Most Inhumane Punishment | by HdogarWho was Joseph Peace Hazard? | SKPL HistoryNational Register of Historic Places Registration Form GHanging in Chains - Harnessing the Power of the Criminal Corpse - NCBI BookshelfThe Incredibly Disturbing Historical Practice of GibbetingMemorials and MonumentsWhy Just 'Adding Context' to Controversial Monuments May Not Change Minds | History| Smithsonian MagazineWho do American monuments honor the most?

A convenient mini-meal, Daily Gut & Brain” is available now at the CVS Pharmacy in Wakefield. Now for some trivia. Did you know that Rhode Island native, Richard Lancellotti is a former first baseman-outfielder who played for the San Diego Padres , San Francisco Giants and Boston Red Sox. He batted and threw left-handed. A gifted slugger who led four different leagues in home runs, Lancellotti received only limited opportunities on the Major League level to showcase the power he displayed in the minor leagues. A perennial minor-league All-Star, he played in 15 different leagues and several countries, including stints in Canada, Colombia, Italy, Japan, Mexico and Venezuela. Now, we turn our feature story…. Residents of Washington County told a state committee Wednesday that: The measurement approach suggested by a landmark court decision is useless to determine where the public portion of the beach begins, rights of way or paths to the shoreline are often blocked and are hard to reach, and enjoying the beach is more difficult than ever. About 60 residents gathered Wednesday for a meeting conducted at Chariho Middle School by a special legislative committee formed to study coastal access rights in Rhode Island. Residents of Westerly, Charlestown, Narragansett, and members of the Narragansett Indian Tribe described problems in those towns as well as in South Kingstown, Middletown  and Newport. They pleaded for and sometimes demanded action by the committee. Cinna Zerquera-Martin, who chairs the town of Narragansett's Coastal Access Improvement Committee, said: "We need a well-defined boundary to distinguish between public and private property. One that is easy to explain in layman's terms and by visual inspection." The state constitution guarantees residents of the state a right to gather seaweed, pass along the shore, and to fish and swim, but the vexing problem is figuring out where private property ends and where the public area begins. The current boundary, called the mean high-tide mark, is derived from a state Supreme Court case that originated with a trespass arrest made in Westerly in the 1980s. Those in attendance Wednesday said the mean high-tide mark, which is calculated based on 18.5 years worth of data, was never a good measure because it is always based on old information. Many of the speakers told of being harassed by private property owners accusing them of trespassing even when they were in the water or other areas that were clearly public. Bella Noka, a Narragansett Indian Tribe tribal elder: "As a Narragansett tribal elder, I find it very ironic that people are here tonight standing up and fighting for greater access to the beach when it was stripped from my people. We have no access whatsoever." Noka said she has been harassed while conducting tribal ceremonies, including one following the death of her mother. Noka encouraged those in attendance to unite. Jennifer Krekorian, a South Kingstown resident, said the walk she enjoyed as a child from East Beach in Westerly to the Watch Hill Light House is no longer possible because of large stones placed at the base of Taylor Swift's mansion. Rights of way or paths to the shore are blocked or monitored by security. Jed Thorpe, access coordinator for Save the Bay, encouraged lawmakers on the committee to pass a proposed bill that would decriminalize trespassing along a 10-foot swath of the Rhode Island coast. The bill was proposed by state Rep.  Terri Cortvriend of Portsmouth, who is chairing the special legislative committee. Several of the speakers pointed to Westerly as a particularly difficult place to access the shoreline due to an abundance of fire districts and other problems. Patricia Almeida, of Charlestown, said that The ocean and the beach are parts of the identity of people who live in Rhode Island, even those who cannot afford beachfront property,.

Rhode Island mom Nicole Solas says she is just one of many parents “with legitimate concerns about our kids' education.”Solas drew national attention earlier this year when her local school board in South Kingstown, R.I., threatened to sue her over public record requests she made to learn what her local school district was teaching students. The school board ultimately opted against taking legal action against her. But Solas made headlines again in August, when a teachers union, the National Education Association Rhode Island, filed a lawsuit against her over the records requests. Solas made the requests to determine whether her child would be taught about gender identity and critical race theory ideology, two controversial issues that have led to an increase in parental attendance at school board meetings across the country this year. Parents “simply want to know what their kids are learning, and they want to have a say if what their kids are learning is not appropriate,” she says. Solas is actively speaking out against Attorney General Merrick Garland's order to the FBI and federal prosecutors to meet with federal, state, and local leaders to look into a “disturbing spike in harassment, intimidation, and threats of violence” allegedly being made against “school administrators, board members, teachers, and staff.” Garland's directive came less than a week after the National Association of School Boards asked President Joe Biden for assistance looking into whether threats against school board members and other school leaders could be classified as "domestic terrorism.”Solas joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to share her personal story of speaking out against her local school board, and to discuss Garland's order.

Teachers Union Sues Rhode Island Mom for Seeking Records About School's Critical Race Theory Curriculum‼️ Virginia Allen / @Virginia_Allen5 / August 05, 2021   The National Education Association is suing mother Nicole Solas after she filed multiple public records requests with the South Kingstown School District in Rhode Island requesting information about the schools' teaching of critical race theory. (Photo: Podfoto/ Getty Images) The National Education Association, America's largest teachers union, is suing a Rhode Island mom for seeking information about what her kindergartener will be taught in school.  Both the National Education Association Rhode Island and National Education Association South Kingstown, the union's local branch, are suing Nicole Solas after she filed public record requests with the South Kingstown School District to learn what students are being taught regarding critical race theory.  “It appears … [the teachers union wants] a court to say I can't get the public information that I'm requesting because it will somehow harm teachers,” Solas told The Daily Signal in a phone interview Thursday.  The complaint was filed with the Rhode Island Superior Court on Monday and a constable arrived at Solas' home on Wednesday to deliver papers informing the mother of the lawsuit.   “I just got served with a lawsuit from the teacher union, NEARI,” Solas wrote on Twitter. “Throwing down the gauntlet, are we? Game on.” On Thursday, the union also filed for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction against Solas. The legal action is intended to prohibit the South Kingstown school board from “responding to public record requests referenced in the Verified Complaint, unless and until a determination can be made that such documents are required to be released pursuant to the Access to Public Records Act,” the court filing reads.   “Today, the teacher union NEA filed ANOTHER lawsuit against me – this time a Temporary Restraining Order and Preliminary Injunction,” Solas tweeted. “Will teacher unions bullying moms be an everyday thing now?” Over the past few months, Solas has filed more than 200 public records requests with the South Kingstown School District, about 30 miles south of Providence, Rhode Island.  In April, the principal of the elementary school told Solas to file records requests after the mother emailed the principal asking for a copy of the curriculum and other information about the school district.  Solas was told that due to the breadth of her questions, she needed to file records requests, which she did.  In June, the South Kingstown school board threatened to sue Solas over the requests she was making. Ultimately, the school board voted not to take legal action against her. But now, the union representing South Kingstown teachers has filed a 30-page suit against her.  The teachers union is asking the court to “prohibit the disclosure of non-public records” and for the court to use a “balancing test” to assess whether or not teachers' “personally identifiable and other personnel-related information” must be released, according to the complaint.  The National Education Association Rhode Island “laid out a lot of reasons [in the complaint] why some of the information I requested may not be subject to public disclosure, but that is all controlled under the Rhode Island Access to Public Records Act, and the School Committee attorneys would be making all those decisions themselves,” Solas said.  She added that if the “teachers union believes that the School Committee attorney made a wrong decision on the release of information, the teachers union can certainly sue the school.” Instead, Solas is the one being sued.  “I think this is purely an intimidation tactic,” Solas said of the lawsuit.  The complaint is outlined in 70 points detailing why the information Solas is requesting should not be released, including concerns over a conservative group's reporting of educators teaching critical race theory.  Point 70 reads:  Given the circumstances of the requests, it is likely that any teachers who are identifiable and have engaged in discussions about things like critical race theory will then be the subject of teacher harassment by national conservative groups opposed to critical race theory. Appendix C of the complaint includes two news stories covering the South Kingstown school board's threat to sue Solas in June. The first is from Legal Insurrection, which first covered the story, and the second is from The Daily Signal.  Solas says that it appears that the teachers union is seeking to act as a “third-party intermediary” to decide whether or not she can receive the public information she is requesting.  “I hope teachers see this lawsuit as the last straw of their union's decades-long denigration of their profession,” Solas said. “I hope teachers leave the union because they refuse to fund litigation that harasses and bullies mothers who exercise their civil right to access public information about their children's education.” The young mom is being represented by the Goldwater Institute, a conservative public policy and ligation organization based in Phoenix.  “Rhode Island law does not authorize what the [National Education Association] is attempting to do here,” Goldwater lawyer Jon Riches told The Daily Signal in a phone interview Thursday.  “Nicole did what any conscientious parent would do,” Riches added. “She sought out information about what her child is going to learn, and from Day One, she was stonewalled. First, she was stonewalled by the district. Now, she is being intimidated by the union.”  The Daily Signal reached out to the National Education Association Rhode Island for comment and received a prepared statement in response with a quote from Deputy Executive Director Jennifer Azevedo. We are asking the Court to conduct a balancing test to determine whether our members' privacy rights outweigh the public interest. We believe they do, and those records should either not be disclosed or should be redacted accordingly. Multiple APRA requests were made in recent months to the South Kingstown School Department demanding detailed information about specific educators and members in general of NEA South Kingstown, our local NEARI educator affiliate.  While NEARI and NEASK support access to public information, the organizations firmly believe in protecting the rights, safety, and privacy of its members and will continue to advocate strongly on their behalf. We look forward to the Court's declaratory judgement. “As long as such information does not include ‘personally identifiable information,' which legally must be kept confidential, the NEA's request for a behind-closed-doors review with the judge in this case, in addition to previous statements about wanting not to distract from ‘equity efforts' by fulfilling Solas' requests, indicates that whatever the school board is teaching, it very much wants to hide,” Sarah Parshall Perry, a legal fellow at The Heritage Foundation, told The Daily Signal. (The Daily Signal is the news outlet of The Heritage Foundation.)  Even though Solas has now enrolled her daughter in a private school, both she and the Goldwater Institute are prepared to move forward with the lawsuit in an effort to stand up for parents across the nation who are concerned about their child being taught critical race theory and other leftist ideology in the classroom.  “They made the wrong mom mad,” said Solas, who added that the fight is about so much more than simply her own records requests. This is about parents having a right to know what their child's education is. This is about not being bullied by a teacher union who wants to challenge a stay-at-home mom for asking questions about education. And this is about open government.  The actions of the teachers union are “unacceptable,” Riches said. “It's not going to stand. We are going to fight back every step of the way. Nicole is not going to be intimidated.”  Correction: This piece was corrected after publication to accurately state that the lawsuit was filed in the Rhode Island Superior Court.

A convenient mini-meal, Daily Gut & Brain” is available now at the CVS Pharmacy in Wakefield. Now for some trivia. Did you know that The first NFL game at night was hosted in Rhode Island? The Providence Steam Roller played the Chicago Cardinals. Although the Steam Roller lost 16-0, the game was declared a  success because 6,000 fans attended. The ball, which had been painted white for the night game, "had the appearance of a large egg," and whenever either team passed, "there was a panicky feeling that the player who made the catch would be splattered with yellow yolk." Now, for our feature story: When a Cranston resident planted a sacred lotus in the pond at Meshanticut State Park in memory of a family member in 2014, she didn't realize the plant was an aggressive invasive species. The lotus, which features enormous floating leaves that shade out native plants, quickly took over a large area of the Rhode Island pond. Five years later, 75 volunteers spent 12 hours cutting it back, but they eradicated just 10 percent of the ever-expanding plant, which today covers 1.83 acres of the 12-acre pond. It's one of many examples of the challenges the state faces in trying to control and eliminate aquatic invasive species. More than 100 lakes and 27 river segments in Rhode Island are plagued with at least one species of invasive plant, according to the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management (DEM). These plants pose threats to healthy ecosystems, reduce recreational opportunities, and negatively impact the economy. “Aquatic invasives are definitely a problem for water quality, but there aren't a lot of resources dedicated to mapping them and trying to contain them,” said Kate McPherson, riverKeeper for Save The Bay. “The problem is they can show up in really pristine areas of the state for a variety of reasons, and a lot of the plants only need a couple of cells or a leaf to reproduce. They don't need seeds. So unless you're really diligent about scrubbing down your boat and other equipment after each use, it's really hard to prevent their spread.” In its 2020 fishing regulations, DEM prohibited the transport of invasive plants on any type of boat, motor, trailer, or fishing gear as a strategy to prevent the inadvertent movement of aquatic invasive species from one waterbody to another. “It's essentially an incentive for boaters or anglers to clean off their gear to make sure they don't move any plants unintentionally,” said Katie DeGoosh of DEM's Office of Water Resources. “It's part of a national campaign known as Clean Drain Dry to remind anyone recreating on water how they should decontaminate their gear to avoid spreading invasives.” DEM's latest effort to combat aquatic invasive species is proposed regulations to ban their sale, purchase, importation, and distribution in the state. Rhode Island is the only state in the Northeast that has yet to regulate the sale of these plants. The proposed regulations have the support of Save The Bay, the Rhode Island Natural History Survey, and the Rhode Island Wild Plant Society. “It's a big problem,” McPherson said. “We need to get folks to think about how their activities can spread the plants and get them to think about aquatic invasives as a kind of contaminant.” The proposed regulations, if approved, would be enforced via business inspections by DEM staff. Violators could be fined up to $500 per violation. To read the latest on this story and more on what Rhode Island is doing to handle the Coronavirus, head over to westerleysun.com.

F. Cofone, of South Kingstown who passed away last week. He leaves behind a family he loved immeasurably, including his daughters and their husbands, his grandchildren, and his wife, Judith. He also leaves his sisters, their families, countless cousins, and many who, while not technically family, were family to him. "Pa," as he was coined by his grandchildren, loved singing at the top of his lungs with the windows rolled down, freshly pressed oxford shirts, correct grammar, stories of animal-human connections, laughing with his family, cooking way too much food for any occasion, looking out over the Bras d'Or Lake in Cape Breton, celebrating creativity, and imagining a world where people uniformly treated one another with kindness. A memorial to celebrate his life is being planned and will be shared with those who loved him. In lieu of flowers, donations to Foster Parrots Ltd. and The New England Exotic Wildlife Sanctuary, The Roger Williams Park Zoo, or a kindness shown to someone in his honor would be appreciated by him and his family. He will be deeply missed by his family, friends, and all who knew him. Thank you for taking the time today to remember and celebrate Pa's life. That's it for today, we'll be back next time with more!

Did you know that The Ocean State Waves are a collegiate summer baseball team based in South Kingstown? The team, a member of the New England Collegiate Baseball League, plays its home games at Old Mountain Field in South Kingstown. Now, for our feature story: The Rhode Island Office of Healthy Aging has awarded a total of $200,000 in grants to 10 organizations to help connect the state's older residents with their families through modern technology. The funded agencies will equip residents living in areas hit hard by the coronavirus pandemic with smart devices, internet services and related training to help them better access online resources, work and study remotely, and virtually connect with family and friends. According to the Pew Research Center, an estimated 41% of Rhode Islanders age 65 and older are not broadband users, and more than 25% of older adults in the state are not online. Director Rosamaria Amoros Jones said in a statement: “The internet is a basic necessity today.” “So much of how we manage our lives and connect with one another and to services is driven by technology now; yet inequities persist, with many older adults and families in lower-income neighborhoods lacking access to, or fluency in, digital tools." To learn more about how to access these programs or to help older people access technology, head over to oha.ri.gov to learn more.
