Today's riddle: I'm a rock group with 4 members; one member was assassinated. What am I? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. RISP Warwick Arrests Sept. 1-9: DUIs, Conspiracy (warwickpost.com) — Recent Rhode Island State Police activity includes several DUI and shoplifting-related arrests tied to Warwick roads, residents, and warrants, particularly over Labor Day weekend. Local drivers are reminded that troopers were highly active on Centerville Road, I-95 in Warwick, and nearby communities, with multiple motorists now facing court dates after allegedly refusing chemical tests or being wanted by Warwick Police.
2. Warwick roadway closed after tree limb crashes down on car (wpri.com) — Church Avenue in Warwick's 200 block is currently closed after a large tree limb crashed onto a car, sending three women to the hospital with minor injuries and forcing firefighters to extricate two of them. If you normally drive through that area, expect detours while crews clear the scene and monitor updates from local news or city alerts before heading out.
3. Ceremonies for 25th anniversary of 9/11 held around RI, Mass. (wpri.com) — Warwick residents have two key ways to mark the 25th anniversary of 9/11 today: a 10 a.m. commemoration at the Oakland Beach Memorial Garden and an 11 a.m.–5 p.m. blood drive at Warwick Mall. Similar remembrance ceremonies, blood drives, and service events are happening across Rhode Island and nearby Massachusetts, offering many options if you want to honor the day close to home.
4. NOAA Sets Fall Shark Identification Workshops as Look-Alike Species Complicate Atlantic Catch Reports (natureworldnews.com) — Commercial fishermen and shark dealers in and around Warwick should know that NOAA is holding a free shark safe-handling and identification workshop at the Hilton Garden Inn on Thurber Street this October. The session is required for certain federal shark and swordfish permit holders, helping them correctly identify look-alike species and safely release protected animals so they can stay compliant and keep fishing.
5. NESN 360 Price and What Boston Sports Cost RI Fans in 2026 (upriseri.com) — If you're a Patriots, Red Sox, or Bruins fan in Warwick, your sports bill in 2026 depends heavily on whether you still have cable. The article breaks down NESN 360 pricing, how many Rhode Islanders can already access it through Cox or other providers, and why Patriots fans relying on local broadcasts may avoid expensive NFL Sunday Ticket packages altogether.
