KENNETH COTE @ Shimmer Salon and Day Spa - 401-336-3700

After owning and operating Kenneth Cote' Salon at 333 Main Street for more than 40 years, I am proud to announce that I have joined the Shimmer Salon &amp; Day Spa team at 500 Main Street in East Greenwich, Rhode Island. Following a series of surgeries and recoveries, along with the loss of my longtime administrative coordinator and dear friend, Richard Bump, I found myself at a point of reflection and transition. I made the decision to redirect my career from salon ownership toward something that has always been at the center of who I am: continuing to cultivate my craft as a Hair Artist and educator. As I return to Main Street, my intention is simple: to reconnect with the skills, creativity, and level of care that built my reputation over decades, while offering you the opportunity to reimagine the experience and quality I can bring to your sense of style. I have always taken pride in helping clients leave with a greater understanding of their hair than when they first sat in my chair. Hair has never simply been about appearance; it has always been about connection, education, and trust. After years of experience, one thing remains unchanged: every service begins with a pair of ears before a pair of shears. Life has brought its share of challenges over recent years — personal loss, physical setbacks, and significant change. Those experiences have reshaped me, but they have also clarified something important: I am returning to the place where I truly belong. After nearly five decades in this industry, I am not stepping backward into who I once was; I am stepping forward as who I am today — a distilled version of those years of experience, with greater focus, stronger purpose, and a deeper appreciation for what matters most. I look forward to reconnecting with familiar faces, welcoming new ones, and beginning this next chapter together. — Kenneth Cote'

EAST GREENWICH, RI—A fire broke out around 9 p.m. at a house on Reynolds Street, according to multiple <a href="http://turnto10.com/news/local/flames-tear-through-east-greenwich-home" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">news sources</a>. No one was in the home at the time. According to fire Chief Russell McGillivray, one firefighter suffered chest pains and had to be taken to the hospital. He is expected to make a complete recovery, however. Also, the building inspector surveyed the damage and has deemed the structure unsafe to enter. As a result, the investigation into the cause of the fire is on hold until the structural problems can be resolved. A GoFundMe <a href="https://www.gofundme.com/stroud-family-fund" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">page</a> was started for the Stroud family, whose home burned. In 15 hours, $14,720 was raised. The goal is $15,000. The Patch will update this story as soon as information becomes available. <figure class="r-embed"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en">East Greenwich picture taken by <a href="https://twitter.com/AMasonR" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">@AMasonR</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/IAFFLocal3328" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">@IAFFLocal3328</a> <a href="https://t.co/vJWu1THEeg" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">pic.twitter.com/vJWu1THEeg</a> — William Perry (@perry_local3328) <a href="https://twitter.com/perry_local3328/status/832043223744933898" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">February 16, 2017</a></blockquote> </figure> Image via Shutterstock
