WEST GREENWICH - The Woodville Barn at the University of Rhode Island W. Alton Jones Campus has been the spring and summer home for a thriving maternal colony of little brown bats for a very long time. Every March or April, the same colony returns to roost in the barn for the warmer months, and each member of the colony, which is females only, returns from its far away hibernation ready to bear one pup. It is a truly fascinating life cycle.

COVENTRY — Two young cousins from Coventry have joined forces during the past two months to help raise money for Christopher Carlino, an 11-year-old boy who was re-diagnosed with Lymphoma.
At the age of seven, Christopher, who attends Father John V. Doyle School, was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma.
He had to undergo four months of chemotherapy at Hasbro Children’s Hospital to treat the cancer.
After a year of waiting and hoping, the young Coventry resident went into remission.
His parents had to take Christopher to the hospital every three months to have tests done.

NORTH KINGSTOWN – A large banner has gone up across the front of the former Wickford Flowers at 17 West Main St.: “Reduced for Quick Sale.”
The 6,200-square-foot commercial space includes a greenhouse and retail salesroom plus what the new sign calls an “attached two-bedroom luxury residence.”
Once listed for sale or lease at $1.3 million and then lowered to $1.09 million, the price has been slashed and the property is now offered for $949,000 on the website of Prudential Gammons Realty.
