Former Vice President Dick Cheney has died at 84, Former Vice President Dick Cheney has died at 84, his family announced early Tuesday. Cheney, who served two terms as vice president under President George W. Bush — including during the Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks — passed away overnight “due to complications of pneumonia and cardiac and vascular disease,” according to a family statement. “His beloved wife of 61 years, Lynne, his daughters, Liz and Mary, and other family members were with him as he passed,” the Cheneys said. Born Jan. 30, 1941, in Lincoln, Nebraska, Cheney rose from a small-town upbringing to become one of the most influential — and divisive — figures in modern American politics. He served as White House Chief of Staff under Gerald Ford, a Wyoming congressman for a decade, and Secretary of Defense under George H.W. Bush, overseeing the U.S.-led victory in the Gulf War. As vice president from 2001 to 2009, Cheney wielded extraordinary power behind the scenes, helping shape the response to 9/11, the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, and the expansion of executive authority and intelligence operations. A lightning rod for critics and conservatives alike, Cheney was known for his unflinching belief in American strength and security. His influence redefined the modern vice presidency, turning what was once a ceremonial role into a commanding post at the center of global decision-making. A survivor of multiple heart attacks, Cheney received a heart transplant in 2012 and continued to be a vocal conservative figure after leaving office. He is survived by his wife Lynne, his daughters Liz and Mary, and several grandchildren. #dickcheney #newportbuzz #palmbeachbuzz

The Middletown Islanders Pop Warner Cheer Program The Middletown Islanders Pop Warner Cheer Program is heading to the big stage after two of its teams earned spots at the New England Regional Cheerleading Competition, taking place Nov. 15, 2025, at the MassMutual Center in Springfield, Mass. Both the Mitey Mite and Junior Peewee squads took home first place at the Rhode Island and Southern Massachusetts Pop Warner Cheer Competition on Oct. 19 at the Ryan Center at the University of Rhode Island. Their spirited routines highlighted the athletes’ skill, teamwork, and Islander pride. “These athletes have worked incredibly hard all season, and their success is a reflection of their passion, commitment, and teamwork,” said Cheer Coordinator Samantha Hoffman. “We are so proud of their accomplishments and can’t wait to see them represent Middletown at Regionals.” The Mitey Mite team includes Aubrie Bettencourt, Sophie Sagepin, Layla Serrano Platt, Rowan Springer, Makenzye Westley-Henderson, and Ella Yeomans. Coaches are Emily Kistner, Tania Stith, Lillian Villacorta, and Caitlin Springer. The Junior Peewee team includes Mahlia Antone, Madison Ayala, Riley Berghman, Kasidy Bettencourt, Mariah Briggs, Aubree Champagne, Harper Kelly, Cora Kosinski, Aurora McDonough, Charlotte McDonough, Veah-Jade Northup, Chloe Qualls, and Harmony Reed. Coaches are Taylor Soule, Tynelle Briggs, Jonathan Soule, Brielle Anderson, and Brittany Lewis. The Islanders program thanked the families, volunteers, and community supporters whose encouragement made the achievement possible. The young cheerleaders hail from Middletown, Newport, and Jamestown — embodying the unity and spirit of Aquidneck Island. #middletownri #newportbuzz
