Today's riddle: What is full of holes but still holds water? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. RI Veterans Voice: Clays 4 Charity at The Preserve, Local Events, Resources, VOTE! – John A. Cianci (rinewstoday.com) — Warwick volunteers are needed twice a month to visit veterans at Greenwood Nursing and Rehab and West Shore Health Center, part of a statewide "Leave No Veteran Alone" effort. The column also highlights upcoming veteran events, free licenses and park passes, support groups, and local discounts that Warwick veterans and families can use right away.
2. Cranston Police Accused of Mishandling Drug Case (upriseri.com) — A Warwick resident used Cranston's August 17 City Council meeting to allege police mishandled a narcotics case involving his son near Cranston City Hall, but officials did not respond. His unverified claims, including concerns about school-zone enforcement before classes resume, contrast with council praise for police while approving a new union contract.
3. Girls flag football to become RIIL sport this spring (independentri.com) — Warwick is the dateline for a major change in Rhode Island high school sports: girls flag football will become a sanctioned RIIL varsity sport starting in spring 2027. Sixteen schools statewide have already committed, with support from Nike and the NFL helping launch the new program.
4. Owner of German shepherd who traveled to 48 states works to preserve dog's legacy (turnto10.com) — A Warwick family's German shepherd, Ruger, managed to visit all 48 continental states over four years before dying of cancer at age 8. Now his owner is honoring his memory by donating to foundations in every state he explored, turning his cross-country adventures into a nationwide legacy project.
