Martin Luther King Jr. Day is often described as a Martin Luther King Jr. Day is often described as a day on, not a day off, and that spirit was on full display January 19 when the Newport County Branch of the NAACP hosted a day of programs beginning with a morning Torch Run from Portsmouth to Thompson Middle School. A luncheon at Green Valley Country Club was well attended and featured musical selections by Brenda Delassanta and three generations of Ermino P. Lisbon’s family presenting a scholarship to Bryanna Pierre, a first-year student at Salve Regina University. Barbara Lisbon took a moment to thank Victoria Johnson for her constant support and guidance, prompting a standing ovation for a woman who “never takes a day off.” Newport City Councilor Lynn Ceglie served as Mistress of Ceremony, acknowledging the progress made since Dr. King’s time while emphasizing democracy always demands more. She reminded those gathered that the responsibility now rests with everyone in the room, encouraging them to continue to “speak up and show up.” Local NAACP President Jimmy Winters posed the question, “Is the dream fading?” before urging the audience to continue working hand in hand to ensure it does not. Guest speaker Dr. Michael Browner reflected on the sacrifices of those who came before and spoke of how the Lord often sends others ahead to fight one’s battles. Browner eloquently wove the stories of civil rights icons Ruby Bridges and Vivian Malone into his remarks, while also honoring a Newport educator who shaped his own life, Pauline Hudson Barge, a Selma native who moved to Newport in 1968. He shared how they remained connected from his first day of school as a student to his first day as a social studies teacher, when he invited Barge to help organize and decorate his classroom. Browner described her influence as “heritage, legacy, and the Black experience in America.” “All I ever want is for students to think for themselves and look out for others,” Browner declared, before challenging everyone in attendance, especially the younger generation, to focus on “working on their dash and making an everlasting difference in the lives of others.” #buzzingaroundnewport #newportri #newportbuzz
The Rhode Island prosecutor caught on bodycam vide The Rhode Island prosecutor caught on bodycam video repeatedly telling police “I’m an AG” during her arrest last summer is back on the job — just not in the same role. @nbc10wjar, which first confirmed the development, reports that Special Assistant Attorney General Devon Hogan Flanagan returned to work Monday after serving a six-month unpaid suspension. Hogan Flanagan went viral in August after Newport police released body-camera footage showing her arguing with officers outside the Clarke Cooke House on Bannister’s Wharf. Restaurant staff had called police, saying she and a friend refused to leave. On the video, Hogan Flanagan can be heard repeatedly invoking her title — “I’m an AG” — and warning officers, “You’re gonna regret this,” as they placed her in handcuffs and into the back of a cruiser. She was charged with trespassing and pleaded no contest a week later. Attorney General Peter Neronha suspended her without pay on Aug. 25, blasting her conduct at the time. “Special Assistant Attorney General Devon Flanagan mistreated the Newport Police Department and embarrassed herself, the office, and frankly me,” Neronha said then. “We hold our attorneys to the highest personal and professional standards, and Ms. Flanagan plainly did not meet those standards here.” NBC 10 confirms Hogan Flanagan’s title remains the same, but she has been reassigned from the Appellate Unit to the Providence County Superior Court Daily Calendar. She has worked in the Attorney General’s Office for about seven years and was ordered not to return to the Clarke Cooke House following the Aug. 14 incident. #imanag #rhodeisland #newportbuzz
Perched atop a commanding hill in the heart of the Perched atop a commanding hill in the heart of the Farm Coast, 155D West Main Road is a striking Coastal Brutalist estate with panoramic views of the Sakonnet Passage. A dramatic stairway leads to the entrance, where retractable glass walls in the vaulted great room erase the boundary between indoors and out. Teak wall cladding, Douglas fir ceilings, and terrazzo floors set the tone: sculptural, warm, and impossibly coastal. The chef’s kitchen pairs White Carrara marble island and counters with teak cabinetry, plus Sub-Zero and Viking appliances. The primary suite is wrapped in floor-to-ceiling glass, with a spa-like bath featuring Linac marble floors, a floating teak vanity, and a custom teak dressing room. Upstairs, two bedrooms offer dual-aspect glass walls, birch cladding, and built-ins, alongside a luxe bath finished with Montauk slate and a floating birch vanity. Amenities include a state-of-the-art 6-seat theater, three fireplaces, Sonos sound, smart home systems, and a 4-car garage. Additional features: generator, stone-walled vegetable garden, 4-bedroom septic, and deeded water access. Every element of this architectural jewel was conceived to honor its coastal setting while delivering modern luxury at its most refined. 155D West Main Road, Little Compton 3 BD | 2.5 BA | 5,793 SF | 2 acres Listed by @cherryarnold_realestate of Mott & Chace Sotheby’s International Realty (@mottandchace) for $4,150,000
