Today's riddle: What did the wall say to the other wall. 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Rhode Island school-zone speed cameras are turning back on: here's where they're located (wpri.com) — Jamestown parents can note there are still no school‑zone speed cameras in town and no plans to add them, even as many Rhode Island communities reactivate theirs for the new school year. The article lists where cameras are operating or planned statewide, outlining when they're active and how different towns are approaching automated enforcement around schools.
• Tracking mosquito-borne disease across Rhode Island: Q&A with Azaliah Lopes (uri.edu) — Jamestown is one of several coastal stops on a URI student's mosquito-surveillance route, where traps help monitor viruses like West Nile, Triple E, and Jamestown Canyon. Her work with state agencies identifies which species carry disease and where they're found, turning weekly data into maps and public warnings so Rhode Islanders can better protect themselves from bites and standing-water breeding spots.
