Who goes there?
Tuesday, 30 December 2008

This past Saturday was the annual Christmas bird count in South Kingstown, where teams of birders combed the area for as many species of bird as possible, counting individual birds, and treking the wet terrain throughout the area. The data is tallied and combined with data from other counts around the nation. This Barred Owl, one of two on the whole count, was seen in West Kingston on Saturday afternoon in the dense woods. After a long wet day, birders tallied their lists and came up with an unofficial count of 127 species in the South County area.

URI hosts 10 school meet
Friday, 10 October 2008

By HANNAH CONNORTON 

EAST GREENWICH - Quiet with anticipation in the coolness of the early morning, teams huddle together pulling tall black riding boots over their dark khaki equestrian-style pants. The buzz of conversation in the air is light, enough to hear the faint whinnies of horses lining the dirt path to the riding ring. The University of Rhode Island’s Intercollegiate Horse Show, held on Oct. 4 at Faith Hill Farm in East Greenwich, featured 10 colleges from Rhode Island and Connecticut. Among the participating universities were Brown, Johnson & Wales, Central Connecticut State, Roger Williams, Post, UCONN, Wesleyan and URI. Also attending the show were RIC and Connecticut College.

SOUTH KINGSTOWN – One word can be used to describe the boys soccer match Wednesday between Mount Hope and South Kingstown.

But that word is unsuitable for print.

The word of the day drew six cards, led to three ejections, both teams playing at least a man down and Mount Hope without its head coach as the Rebels won, 4-2, in a game that will be remembered more for who said what than how the teams played.

A Labor Day Reunion
Tuesday, 09 September 2008

By MICHAEL SOUZA

 

NARRAGANSETT – This is a story of a Labor Day family reunion.  Not your typical end of summer get-together with family, mind you, but a real reunion.

It’s the king of story you might see on television, on Dateline or ABC’s 20/20, long lost siblings separated by circumstances.  In fact, it’s exactly that.

Watchout for leatherback turtles
Tuesday, 09 September 2008

By MICHAEL SOUZA

NARRAGANSETT - The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has issued a public warning to all boaters in the northeast, urging they use caution and keep an eye out for leatherback turtles.

   NOAA and other organizations have reported an unusually high number of sightings, as well as cases where turtles have washed ashore.  One washed up on Salty Brine State Beach two months ago, July 10.  Two more were reported washed up in Rhode Island on the same day.

  According to the U.S. National Marine Fisheries Service, the leatherback turtle is listed as an endangered species, not only in the U.S., but also worldwide.

Statistically, the leatherback is the world's largest turtle.  It can grow to be 6 1/2 feet long and weigh 2,000 pounds.
