1 week ago | warwickonline.com | Alex Sponseller

Warwick North Little League’s Big Blue Bug team won the Majors championship last week when it topped 401 Painting & Construction 7-6 in the title clash.

Bluefin tuna regulations changed for the better when NOAA announced last week new angling and charter/headboat Highly Migratory Species (HMS) regulations.

The spring sports season is officially closed as the final championships took place last weekend. Beacon Media had two of its teams clinch championships, as the Cranston East boys volleyball team shocked North Kingstown and the Bishop Hendricken baseball team defended its title. Starting with East, what an unbelievable game that was. I know there could be some recency bias here, but that was the best volleyball game I have ever covered.

Even near the end, Grandma Gloria lived her way - Warwick Beacon

Gloria was outrageous in a good way. She was colorful and commanded attention no matter where she was. That was her trademark, but as I learned, not her defining attribute. Gloria Walker was a foster grandparent who for many years was known as Grandma Gloria to kids at Wickes School. She and school principal Roy Costa were well matched. Both stood out as live, high-energy wires. Roy, who loves anything Disney but especially Mickey Mouse, wore ties featuring Disney cartoon characters.

Imagine that the Department of Transportation decided to remove selected road numbers on the basis they are no longer needed because motorists have access to GPS. One could argue that’s akin to what the US Coast Guard is proposing to do by removing 350 navigational aids from a total of 5,640 – mostly buoys – between New Jersey and Maine on the basis that they no longer serve a useful purpose. In Narragansett Bay, 32 buoys are considered to be potentially no longer essential.
Never too early for a visit from Santa - Warwick Beacon

3 weeks ago | warwickonline.com | John Howell

Santa was dressed for the occasion. He’d put aside his heavy coat trimmed with fur for something lighter. His beard was fluffy white. He was jaunty, quick to laugh and delighted to see the kids, a leather-bound book of Santa’s list of who’s naughty and nice at his side. One thing was missing. What had happened to Santa’s rotund figure? He looked trim in his vest, even svelte. Had he been on a New Year’s resolution diet?
