Today's riddle: What day of the year is trucker's day? đ€ (Answer below!)
1. Lawn basketball, tennis courts to be resurfaced (jamestownpress.com) â Jamestown's town council just approved major funding to rebuild the Lawn School basketball and tennis courts and move ahead with upgrades at the old East Ferry landing, while delaying a decision on $40,000 for safety netting at Eldred Field. The debate centered on whether taxpayers or the Jamestown Soccer Association should pay for netting to keep balls and kids out of tick-heavy woods.
  Â
2. Jamestown Panel Backs Fire Substation Zoning Change (RI) (upriseri.com) â Jamestown's Planning Commission has endorsed a zoning change that would allow a new fire or police substation in the R200 district, likely on the island's north end, bringing emergency equipment closer to many residents. Commissioners also approved two village-district building projects and delayed action on an affordable housing lot-size change until they receive a map and pros-and-cons analysis before an October council hearing.
  Â
3. Charles DiLuglio (jamestownpress.com) â Jamestown is mourning Charles "Chuck" DiLuglio, an 80-year-old resident of 51 years who was active in the Jamestown Democratic Town Committee and well known for his love of amateur radio and music. Family and friends remember his military service, legal career, technical hobbies, and devotion to pets, and suggest memorial donations to dementia and animal welfare organizations.
  Â
4. 2 arrested on warrants, 1 on drug charges in Wickford (newportdispatch.com) â State police arrested a 52-year-old Jamestown resident on a reckless driving warrant and later charged another driver with drug offenses following a stop on Route 138 in Jamestown. Additional arrests tied to warrants in other Rhode Island cities rounded out a busy shift at the Wickford barracks, with court appearances and detention pending for those involved.
