Today's riddle: Why do some birds fly south for the winter? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Aquidneck Community Table and Crisis Intervention Teams of R.I. each win $65,000 from the Rhode Island Foundation (whatsupnewp.com) — Middletown is getting a year-round food and community hub on the Newport border, thanks to a $65,000 Rhode Island Foundation grant to Aquidneck Community Table. Another $65,000 will support Middletown-based Crisis Intervention Teams of R.I., helping train local police departments, including Middletown's, to better respond to behavioral health crises and connect residents with care.
• They invited me for a walk, but gave me a new appreciation for RI (newportri.com) — A coastal walking project recently brought two retirees and a journalist to Middletown's Second Beach, circling Sachuest Point and soaking in the shoreline's wildlife and ocean views. Their 3.14-mile trek highlights how easily Middletown residents can rediscover local beauty, from regattas offshore to migrating birds, simply by setting aside time to walk their own coastline.
• Cheapest regular gas in cities across Newport County in week ending Oct. 3 (southcotimes.com) — Middletown drivers can compare their local gas prices with the rest of Newport County, where the cheapest regular gas hit $3.99 per gallon during the week ending Oct. 3. Reported Middletown prices were in the low $4 range, slightly above the county's rock-bottom deal but close to the statewide average of $4.33 per gallon.
