• Roundup: JHS volleyball bounces back after first loss (johnstonsunrise.net) — Johnston High School's girls volleyball team edged Exeter-West Greenwich 3–2 to rebound from its first loss of the season, led by a huge night from Marissa Morsilli. Johnston boys soccer also stayed atop Division III with a 6–1 win over Davies, setting up a key showdown against second-place Exeter-West Greenwich later this week.
• 'It was a miracle': Wife donates kidney to husband just days before wedding anniversary (wpri.com) — A Johnston couple spent their 20th wedding anniversary recovering at Rhode Island Hospital after wife Lisa Ricci donated a kidney to her husband Giovanni, who has chronic kidney disease. They renewed their vows in the hospital with their daughters present, and now back home in Johnston, they say the successful transplant has brought them closer while encouraging others to consider organ donation.
• Anaergia purchases two bioenergy facilities in the US (biofuelsdigest.com) — A bioenergy facility located in Johnston has been sold as part of Anaergia's move to shed underperforming assets, with the new buyer taking full ownership of the Rhode Island Bioenergy Facility. The deal removes project debt from Anaergia's books and shifts control of the Johnston operation, which has been running below capacity, to a privately held company.
