NARRAGANSETT - Narragansett High School Science teacher Adam Reis has spent the last nine years educating students about the natural processes of the earth and its oceans. On Wednesday evening, School Committee members recognized him with the Narragansett Teacher of the Year award for the work he has done in and beyond the classroom.
“I am still reluctant to accept the award based on individual merits,” said Reis. “This is more about representing the groups of our school, such as the science department and the athletics department.”

NARRAGANSETT - The Town Council Monday evening passed a new ordinance regarding parking on Narragansett Avenue. The ordinance was drafted in response to a lawsuit brought against the town on behalf of a group of University of Rhode Island students, represented by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), who claimed that they were unfairly ticketed for parking violations on Narragansett Avenue last fall.

PROVIDENCE—Sharon Gamba paced around the State Board of Elections office Monday afternoon with pen and paper in hand and a look of determination on her face.
Staring at the five electronic ballot machines in a dimly-lit basement area where all recounts are completed, Gamba watched as vote after vote was reentered. Her hope was, simply, that at least 19 of the 1,168 ballots turned the District 32 Republican primary race against incumbent Larry Ehrhardt back in her favor.
