We’re thrilled to share that Bailey has found he We’re thrilled to share that Bailey has found her forever home—and it’s truly a story of fate. She’s now with a Navy veteran and his wife, who were heartbroken after losing their beloved lab just three months ago. From the moment Bailey arrived, it was instant love on both sides. They’ve had five dogs before, and it’s clear Bailey will be cherished, pampered, and deeply loved. This incredible match came together thanks to you. Within 24 hours of posting, the former owner, who has to leave the country with the United Nations, received 38 calls and emails from Newport Buzz readers offering help. In the end, it was the couple’s daughter who saw the post, called immediately, and got her parents on board. The connection was undeniable. As Bailey rested calmly beside the new owner, licking his hand, he quietly said, “It’s my birthday today… this is the best gift I’ve ever received.” Thank you all for your kindness, support, and swift action. Bailey’s story now has the happy ending she deserves. #newportri #newportbuzz
State Rep. Lauren H. Carson is leading the push to State Rep. Lauren H. Carson is leading the push to stop Brown University Health from closing the Noreen Stonor Drexel Birthing Center at Newport Hospital. In a letter signed by all five Aquidneck Island state representatives, including Terri Cortvriend, Michelle McGaw, Marvin Abney, and Alex Finkelman, the group urges hospital leaders and Brown University Health to keep the birthing center open and hold a public hearing on the island before making any final decisions. The birthing center, which opened in 1995 and was named after Newport philanthropist Noreen Stonor Drexel, received the World Health Organization and UNICEF’s “Baby Friendly” designation in 2004 for its support of breastfeeding and maternal care. The lawmakers argue that the closure would significantly impact women, infants, and families across Newport County, particularly low-income households and those without transportation who would be forced to travel off-island for prenatal and delivery services. In the letter, the legislators point to the large number of young families stationed at the Newport Naval base who rely on the birthing center and cite increased state funding for hospitals as part of the recently enacted state budget. That includes $38 million in additional hospital reimbursements and direct support, along with more than $40 million in added funds for primary care. Nearly 200 residents and healthcare professionals packed Newport City Hall this week as the City Council passed a resolution opposing the closure. While Newport Hospital Foundation Board Chair Carol Bazarsky addressed the council, Brown University Health Executive Vice President Sarah Frost and Newport Hospital President Dr. Tenny Thomas — the letter’s recipients — did not attend. The lawmakers have requested that Frost and Thomas hold a public hearing in Newport in August to hear directly from island residents affected by the proposed closure. #newporthospital #newportri #newportbuzz
Ozzy Osbourne, the godfather of heavy metal and on Ozzy Osbourne, the godfather of heavy metal and one of rock’s most enduring figures, has died at age 76, his family confirmed Tuesday. The singer passed away “surrounded by love,” according to a statement shared with The Sun. “It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning. He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time.” His death comes just two weeks after an emotional farewell concert at Villa Park in Birmingham, England—his hometown—where he performed seated on a throne alongside Metallica and Guns N’ Roses. “Thank you from the bottom of my heart,” Osbourne told fans during the set, widely considered his final bow. Born John Michael Osbourne on Dec. 3, 1948, in Birmingham, he earned the nickname “Ozzy” in primary school. He skyrocketed to fame in the 1970s as the lead singer of Black Sabbath, helping pioneer a new era of heavy music with anthems like “Paranoid,” “War Pigs,” and “Iron Man.” Osbourne launched a successful solo career in the 1980s and became a pop culture phenomenon in the 2000s thanks to MTV’s The Osbournes, which offered a chaotic, endearing look at his family life. His health had declined in recent years following a 2019 fall and a 2020 diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease. A two-time Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee and five-time Grammy winner, Osbourne leaves behind a legacy that spans generations of fans and musicians. He is survived by his wife Sharon and five children: Jack, Kelly, Aimee, Louis, and Jessica. #ozzyosbourne #blacksabbath #newportbuzz
