COVENTRY — Christopher Carlino may not be able to make the trip to Africa as he wished, but he can envision what the country looks like every night when he puts his head on his pillow.
The eight year old recently had his bedroom redecorated by Christine McIntyre-Hannon, a professional muralists contracted through “A Wish Come True,” a local wish granting agency.

Council President Steps Down |
|
Thursday, 30 April 2009 |
By HANNAH CLARKIN
COVENTRY—When he took the position of Town Council President in January, he had a lot more free time on his hands than he does now, said Councilman Kenneth Cloutier as he prefaced his abdication of the role at Monday’s council meeting.
“I’ve been busy with my office,” Cloutier said echoing previous remarks. “I’ll still be participating in the council meetings but I don’t have the free time I had before. The appropriate thing at this time is to relinquish the position.”

It has been a long awaited transformation, but parishioners and others will finally get to see the big reveal this weekend when SS. John and Paul Church opens it doors to the new parish center and other improvements.
Construction crews broke ground on the multimillion dollar project back in July of 07 and have been working feverishly battling weather changes, ordinances, and other unforeseen roadblocks since then, according to The Rev. Paul Grenon, pastor of SS John and Paul Church.

Claudia Frankenberg wants people to like Frankie’s, her new chocolate business. It’s a bit different: mango, banana, or other fruit, dipped in chocolate, or fruit-and-nut on chocolate, but they’re yummy, in the most basic, palate-pleasing way. |

Claudia Frankenberg wants people to like Frankie’s, her new chocolate business. It’s a bit different: mango, banana, or other fruit, dipped in chocolate, or fruit-and-nut on chocolate, but they’re yummy, in the most basic, palate-pleasing way.
The East Greenwich resident came up with her chocolate line after a decades-long career as a chef, food marketing consultant, caterer, and small business owner, in Rhode Island, New York, and Washington, DC. Despite her long and impressive resume, including such stints as sous chef for Glorious Food in New York, she wanted to work on something new: a mainstream, decidedly not high-brow nor low-brow chocolate treat. Frankie’s is not as cheap as a candy bar, and it’s far from the yuppie end of the sweetness spectrum, such as organic or high-cocoa chocolates.
