We are heartbroken by the tragedy that occurred Sa We are heartbroken by the tragedy that occurred Saturday evening at the Portuguese American Citizens Club in Portsmouth. Our thoughts are with all the families affected—especially the loved ones of the 15-year-old girl who lost her life, as well as the two 17-year-old girls and 49-year-old woman who were seriously injured. We stand with the entire Portsmouth community during this time of deep sorrow and grief. #portsmouthri #portsmouthstrong #newportbuzz
More than two decades after throwing his final pun More than two decades after throwing his final punch—and over 30 years after a near-fatal car crash left him with a broken neck—Cranston, Rhode Island, native Vinny Paz was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame on Saturday at the Turning Stone Resort Casino in Verona, N.Y. Paz (50-10, 30 KOs), once known as Vinny Pazienza, entered the Hall alongside greats Manny Pacquiao and Michael Nunn in the men’s modern category. But few stories in the annals of boxing match Paz’s for grit, heart, and sheer defiance of the odds. After winning the WBA junior middleweight title in 1991 by stopping Gilbert Dele, Paz’s career was derailed just six weeks later in a head-on collision that left him with two fractured vertebrae and a grim prognosis: he might never walk again, let alone fight. But “The Pazmanian Devil” refused to quit. With screws in his skull and a halo stabilizing his neck, he secretly trained against doctors’ orders. Thirteen months after the crash, he returned to the ring and outpointed Luis Santana, launching a second act that saw him defeat Roberto Duran twice and challenge a prime Roy Jones Jr. Over a 21-year career that began in 1983, Paz collected titles in two weight classes and shared the ring with the best of his era—Duran, Jones, Hector Camacho, Roger Mayweather, and Greg Haugen, whom he beat in 1987 for the IBF lightweight crown. His larger-than-life saga was immortalized in the 2016 film Bleed for This. But for those who saw him train with bolts in his head, no movie could ever fully capture the ferocity of his will. Now, the fighter who once refused to stay down takes his rightful place in the Hall of Fame—proof that sometimes, toughness beats everything. #vinnypaz #newportbuzz #rhodeisland
The Portsmouth School District is mourning the los The Portsmouth School District is mourning the loss of a 15-year-old student who was killed Saturday evening when the front stairs of the Portuguese-American Citizens Club collapsed during a high school graduation party. Police and fire officials confirmed that three others — two 17-year-old girls and a 49-year-old woman — were seriously injured and transported to Rhode Island Hospital. Their current conditions have not been released. The cause of the structural failure remains under investigation. In a letter sent to families on Sunday, Superintendent Dr. Thomas Kenworthy shared condolences and outlined the district’s immediate response and support services. “This tragedy deeply impacts our entire district community,” Kenworthy wrote. “We are working closely with grief counselors and support staff to ensure that students and staff have the support they need during this difficult time.” Grief counseling will be available at the Portsmouth High School library on Sunday from 2 to 4 p.m. for all students, including recently graduated seniors. Schools will reopen Monday, and counselors will be available at all Portsmouth schools throughout the week. “We encourage anyone who needs support to reach out to any member of our district mental health staff or a school administrator,” Kenworthy wrote. “Should your child need additional mental health support, please contact Newport Mental Health at 401-846-1213.” He added that, out of respect for the privacy of the families involved, no additional information would be released at this time. “Our thoughts and prayers are with these families during this difficult time,” Kenworthy concluded. #portsmouthri #newportbuzz
