1. Police Log: Ding-Dong-Ditching, Stuck Semi (eastgreenwichnews.com) — Recent East Greenwich police reports detail several DUI arrests, including an East Greenwich man stopped on Division Street, along with complaints about ding-dong-ditching, late-night noise, and suspicious activity in local neighborhoods. The log covers calls from streets like Main, Frenchtown, Rector, and Tamarack, giving residents a clear picture of late-summer safety issues around town.
2. Big Thank You's from Small Hands: Students Celebrate First Responders (eastgreenwichnews.com) — East Greenwich students spent the week creating cards and cheers to thank local first responders, culminating in school visits with sirens, high-fives, and heartfelt appreciation. At Eldredge and Hanaford elementary schools, principals emphasized using the 9/11 anniversary to teach gratitude for everyday service, especially to children born long after the attacks.
3. New horror movie filmed in RI has some great buzz. Here's the story (providencejournal.com) — An East Greenwich-based company, Verdi Productions, has wrapped filming on "Stung," a killer-bee horror movie shot in August around East Greenwich and North Kingstown. With a cast that includes Iris Apatow and Justin Long, the project brought nearly 100 cast and crew to local sets and highlights East Greenwich producers and executives helping grow Rhode Island's film profile.
4. Heavy rain causes property damage in West Bay (turnto10.com) — Heavy rain in the West Bay made driving from East Greenwich to Providence treacherous, with one driver reporting hydroplaning through widespread puddles. The storm caused more serious flooding and property damage in West Warwick and Warwick, where homeowners described collapsing walls, waterlogged sheds, and long-standing drainage problems that seem to worsen with each major rainfall.
