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.

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.

NARRAGANSETT- The Narragansett Harbor Management Commission met Tuesday

evening for its monthly meeting discussing several issues including safety and

upcoming projects.

     The Narrow River Kayak Ramp, located near the Sprague Bridge on Boston Neck

Road, has been a topic for discussion at many of the HMC’s meetings. One of

their concerns is for the safety of the kayakers with all the boats going in

and out of the same channel.

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.
