Today's riddle: Why did the girl pig break up with the boy pig? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Quakers back in meetinghouse (jamestownpress.com) — Jamestown's Quakers are back worshipping in the historic 1786 meetinghouse at Weeden Lane and North Road after a brief dispute with the Jamestown Historical Society over insurance documentation. A social-media-fueled protest followed a locked-door Sunday, but once the Friends provided their own coverage, the society reopened the newly renovated building and emphasized its commitment to preserving this piece of Jamestown's history.
• Shared superintendent gains steam (jamestownpress.com) — Jamestown may soon share a superintendent with neighboring Narragansett, a move officials say could save money while keeping both districts independent. Narragansett's school committee is mapping out the process, while Jamestown weighs four leadership models, from full-time to part-time and a shared position, to find a sustainable long-term solution for students and staff.
• State wants to help invest in commercial boating (jamestownpress.com) — Jamestown officials are exploring a partnership with the state Department of Environmental Management to bring federal investment to commercial fishing facilities at Fort Getty, while preserving access for local recreational anglers. The multiyear proposal could upgrade the pier area and secure long-term support for commercial fishermen, with formal details expected in writing from the state in the coming weeks.
