@aquidneckislandrobotics FRC Team 78, known as AIR

@aquidneckislandrobotics FRC Team 78, known as AIR STRIKE, achieved a remarkable 5th place finish in the world after emerging victorious in their division at the prestigious FIRST World Championship held in Houston, Texas, from April 17 to April 20. AIR STRIKE, a community-based team consisting of 26 students hailing from 15 communities in Rhode Island and Southeastern Massachusetts, showcased exceptional talent and teamwork on the global stage.

The FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) is an annual event conceptualized by inventor Dean Kamen, often referred to as “the varsity sport for the mind.” This unique competition provides high school students with the opportunity to apply engineering principles to design, prototype, and compete against other teams in a dynamic and intellectually stimulating environment.

AIR STRIKE’s journey in the 2024 FIRST season marked their 15th year participating in FRC. Following their outstanding performance at the Bridgewater State University District Event, where they secured the top seeded position and clinched first place, the team continued to demonstrate their prowess at subsequent events in Revere, MA, and Springfield, MA. These successes culminated in their qualification for the FRC Championship in Houston, a gathering of 600 teams from across the globe, divided into 8 divisions.

After excelling in the initial qualification matches, Team 78 was selected by the top-ranked team to join forces in competition. Their dominance continued as they remained undefeated in their divisional tournament, securing yet another first-place trophy and advancing to the interdivisional Einstein bracket. This marked a significant milestone for AIR STRIKE as they made their debut appearance in the Einstein playoff tournament, ultimately securing the 5th position overall.

As they return home to Newport, Team 78 - AIR STRIKE remains committed to their mission of fostering creativity, teamwork, and technological innovation within their communities and among students.

As Memorial Day weekend approaches, Middletown off

As Memorial Day weekend approaches, Middletown officials are rolling up their sleeves to ensure Second Beach is in top shape after winter’s wrath.

Located on the eastern end of Sachuest Point Road, Second Beach, a favorite summer destination, faced a challenge this offseason as Mother Nature deposited tons of rocks in areas traditionally occupied by lifeguard Chairs 1 and 2.

Rather than leaving it to chance that the rocks would naturally recede before beachgoers arrive, local authorities decided to take proactive measures. The town recently rented heavy machinery, including a 35-yard articulated hauler and an excavator, to relocate the rocks to a more suitable location nearby. Work is set to commence this week, with the equipment already on-site.

While the project is underway, visitors are urged to avoid the affected area and adhere to instructions provided by onsite supervisors.

Will Cronin, overseeing the beaches as part of his town duties, remarked, “We get some movement of rocks every offseason, but this was much more noticeable than any time in recent memory.” He added, “Instead of sitting back and hoping Mother Nature took care of it, we decided to lend a hand a little bit.”

During a recent budget workshop, Town Council President Paul M. Rodrigues raised concerns about the beach’s readiness for the upcoming holiday weekend. Town Administrator Shawn J. Brown assured the council that preparations were underway and expressed confidence that Second Beach would be restored to its usual standards within a week or two.

Looking ahead, the council is slated to discuss a proposal for a hydrological study of Sachuest Bay at its May 6 meeting. This study aims to provide insights into the beach area’s future conditions over the next few decades, building upon previous reports indicating a gradual loss of shoreline due to sea-level rise.

“This isn’t something new for us, it’s just a little more than in the past,” stated Brown. “We’re confident that in a week or two, the beach will be restored in a way that our residents and visitors have come to expect.”

Looking for a Mother’s Day gift or locally grown

Looking for a Mother’s Day gift or locally grown plants to enliven your own home and garden? The annual Plant Sale at Green Animals Topiary Garden will offer a variety of flowers, vegetables, herbs and specialty plants on three successive mornings, Friday, May 10, through Sunday, May 12, from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. each day.

Annuals, perennials, lilies, dahlia tubers, geranium standards, hanging flower baskets and others will be available while supplies last. Many are grown in the greenhouses of The Preservation Society of Newport County, which has owned and maintained Green Animals and the historic Brayton House on the 7-acre property since 1972.

Starting May 11, Green Animals will be open daily for tours from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tickets or Preservation Society membership will be required for anyone wishing to tour Green Animals after each morning’s plant sale.
In addition to more than 80 topiaries in the shape of animals and geometric designs, many dating back several decades, this historic garden will be blooming with thousands of tulips and other flowering bulbs in a rainbow of colors.

“The opening of Green Animals for the season is a sign that spring is finally in full stretch,” said Trudy Coxe, CEO of the @newport_mansions. “Each year, the Plant Sale is hugely popular and it’s a great way to support the maintenance of this amazing garden.”

Situated alongside Narragansett Bay, Green Animals is the oldest and most northern topiary garden in the United States. The boxwood, privet and yew topiaries – including a giraffe, elephant, ostrich, bears and much more – were begun in the early 20th century by Joseph Carreiro, an immigrant gardener from the Azores. The garden also includes an array of perennials, annuals and shrubs that bloom colorfully throughout the spring, summer and fall.

Green Animals is located at 380 Cory’s Lane in Portsmouth. It will remain open daily through September 30.

The Aquidneck Island National Police Parade is sch

The Aquidneck Island National Police Parade is scheduled to take place on Sunday, May 5th, 2024, showcasing a heartfelt tribute to law enforcement officers who have made the ultimate sacrifice. The procession will commence with an opening ceremony at approximately 11:30 am in front of 317 West Main Rd, Middletown, RI, outside the Hampton Inn. The parade kicks off at 11:50 am as it embarks on its route towards Newport, heading south on Broadway, and concluding its journey in Washington Square.

This year’s parade honors the memory and service of three distinguished individuals: Hartford Police Detective Robert Garten, who tragically lost his life in the line of duty on September 6th, 2023, following a motor vehicle accident; Waltham Police Officer Paul Tracey, who bravely served until his untimely passing on December 6th, 2023, also due to a motor vehicle accident; and Connecticut State Police K9 Broko, who valiantly protected his handler until his tragic demise on December 21st, 2023. Joining in the commemoration will be representatives from the Hartford Connecticut Police, Detective Robert Garten’s family, the Waltham Police, Officer Paul Tracey’s family, and other dignitaries.

The parade will honor the memory of the 136 officers who lost their lives in 2023 and in the line of duty in years past.

The festivities will begin with a dedication ceremony and the singing of the National Anthem. Spectators are encouraged to line the parade route, and a reviewing stand will be set up in Washington Square. Departments participating in the parade will be vying for awards in various categories, including best cruiser, best uniform, and best honor guard, with both first and second place distinctions up for grabs. Anticipated highlights of the event include the participation of over 30 police departments and the presence of more than 10 different bands.

Broadway will be closed to traffic from Admiral Kalbfus Road to Farewell Street from 11:30 a.m. to approximately 2:00 p.m. Police Officers and detours will be in place. Please anticipate traffic delays and plan your travels accordingly.

A Newport man who is alleged to have enticed a min

A Newport man who is alleged to have enticed a minor female to engage in illicit sexual activity and who was allegedly found to be in possession of child pornography has been ordered detained in federal custody, announced United States Attorney Zachary A. Cunha.

Kyle Patrick Tormey, 39, the owner of Vinyl Guru on Broadway, has been charged via a federal criminal complaint with enticement of an individual less than eighteen years of age to engage in sexual activity, receipt of child pornography, and possession of child pornography. He was ordered detained at his initial appearance in U.S. District Court on Friday.

It is alleged in charging documents that Tormey repeatedly communicated with a minor female on various social media platforms, enticing the young girl to provide him with photographs of herself and to meet with him to engage in illicit sexual activity. It is alleged that at the end of a sexual encounter in Tormey’s van in late December 2023, he gave the minor victim $200 in cash.

It is further alleged that as a result of the execution of federal court-authorized search warrants, law enforcement discovered multiple images of the minor victim in various stages of undress stored in social media accounts belonging to Tormey; numerous communications with the girl that led up to the alleged sexual encounter; and multiple images of other minors that constituted child pornography.

A federal criminal complaint is merely an accusation. A defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.

The case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Milind M. Shah.

The matter was investigated by the FBI and West Warwick Police Department. United States Attorney Cunha thanks the Newport Police for their assistance during the investigation and arrest of the defendant.
