Get ready for a time-traveling holiday romance as Get ready for a time-traveling holiday romance as “A Newport Christmas” premieres tonight at 8 p.m. ET on the Hallmark Channel. The film stars Ginna Claire Mason as Ella, a charitable and spirited Newport socialite in 1905 who dreams of using her family’s fortune to start a foundation to help others. But when she learns her father intends to arrange her engagement to a man she’s never met at the upcoming Christmas Eve ball, Ella takes her schooner out for a nighttime sail to clear her head. When a comet flashes across the sky, Ella makes a wish for a different life — and suddenly finds Nick (played by Wes Brown), a sailor and local historian, aboard her boat. Convinced he’s a stowaway, Ella is shocked to realize she’s somehow sailed forward in time to 2025. As Ella explores the modern world and discovers how her legacy has shaped the future, she also begins to fall for Nick. But the longer she stays, the more her absence threatens to alter history. Together, the two chart a course for her return — and the surprising fate that awaits her at home. Full of romance, nostalgia, and holiday spirit, “A Newport Christmas” is a heartwarming reminder that love — like Christmas — transcends time. 🎄 “A Newport Christmas” premieres Sunday, November 2 at 8 p.m. ET on Hallmark Channel. #anewportchristmas #newportri #newportbuzz
BOSTON — Authorities are investigating what they BOSTON — Authorities are investigating what they describe as an intentional explosion early Saturday inside Harvard Medical School’s Goldenson Building — and they’ve released surveillance photos of two masked suspects seen fleeing the scene. The explosion occurred around 2:48 a.m. at 220 Longwood Ave. on Harvard’s Longwood Medical Campus, according to university police. A Harvard University Police Department officer responding to a fire alarm saw two unidentified people running from the building and tried unsuccessfully to stop them. Once inside, the officer discovered evidence of an explosion on the fourth floor. The Boston Fire Department’s arson unit determined the blast was intentional, and Boston police swept the building but found no additional explosive devices. No injuries were reported. “The Harvard University Police Department is actively investigating this incident in coordination with local, state, and federal law enforcement partners,” Harvard spokesperson Steven Catalano said. By late afternoon, Harvard released grainy surveillance images showing two people wearing hooded sweatshirts and face coverings — now considered suspects in the case. The university urged anyone who recognizes them to contact Harvard detectives at 617-495-1796. The FBI and Boston Police Department are assisting in the investigation. The Goldenson Building, which houses labs and classrooms, was evacuated and secured. Authorities have not disclosed what type of device was used or a possible motive, but officials described the release of the suspect images as a major step in the search for those responsible. #harvard #newportbuzz
On a crisp November afternoon in Newport, everythi On a crisp November afternoon in Newport, everything was lined up for a storybook Senior Day. Thirty-eight Seahawks were honored for their years of grit, leadership, and loyalty to Salve Regina football. The crowd was loud, the energy was right, and the stage was set for a statement win. Instead, the Coast Guard Academy wrote its own history. The Bears stunned Salve Regina with a 36–31 victory — their first-ever win in Newport — capping off a back-and-forth second half that felt more like a heavyweight title fight. After a sluggish start and a 16–3 halftime deficit, the Seahawks roared to life behind junior running back Justan Luzzi, who delivered one of the finest quarters of football Toppa Field has seen in a long time. Luzzi rushed for 181 yards and three third-quarter touchdowns, turning the tide and igniting the home crowd as Salve surged ahead, 31–23. Quarterback Tommy Fallon (16-for-25, 178 yards) was poised and creative, connecting with Kyle Crampton (eight catches, 110 yards) and sneaking in a 12-yard touchdown run that had fans believing the Seahawks were moments away from sealing it. But the Bears refused to fold. Coast Guard’s Sean Burns found Harrison Hensley on a 4th-and-7 dart for a touchdown, then handed it back to Hensley for a bruising 30-yard score that flipped the game — and the emotion — in one breath. Still, Salve had one last chance. With under two minutes to play, Luzzi powered the Seahawks to the Bears’ goal line. On second-and-goal from the one, he lunged toward the end zone — and lost the football. Coast Guard recovered. Game over. Salve drops to 4–4 (1–4 NEWMAC) with two road games left, while Coast Guard improves to 7–1 (5–0) and stays atop the conference. Next up: Salve travels to WPI, hoping to rebound before wrapping up the regular season at Norwich. 📸 via Salve Regina #salveregina #newportri #newportbuzz
