Rhode Island’s top legislative leaders have thro Rhode Island’s top legislative leaders have thrown their support behind an amended bill to create a statewide needs assessment council that would explore the best approach to implementing a bottle redemption and recycling program. House Speaker K. Joseph Shekarchi and Senate President Valarie J. Lawson announced the move Monday, following months of work by a joint legislative commission. “There is still a great deal of conflicting data” around best practices for bottle redemption and anti-littering efforts, the leaders said in a joint statement. “We believe it would be in the best interests of Rhode Islanders to conduct a needs assessment, as other states have done.” The amended legislation directs the Department of Environmental Management (DEM) to work with an independent third-party consultant to evaluate the potential framework for a bottle bill. The process will include input from the Rhode Island Resource Recovery Corporation and other stakeholders, and culminate in a report with findings and recommendations no later than December 2026. A bottle bill typically adds a refundable deposit on beverage containers, such as soda and water bottles, to encourage consumers to return them for recycling. Supporters say it reduces litter, boosts recycling rates, and keeps plastic out of landfills. The proposal builds on original legislation (2025-H 6207A) introduced by Rep. Carol Hagan McEntee (D-South Kingstown, Narragansett) and Sen. Mark McKenney (D-Warwick), who co-chair the commission tasked with evaluating ways to reduce plastic bottle waste. The House Environment and Natural Resources Committee is set to consider the amended bill Wednesday. A companion measure is expected to be posted soon in the Senate Environment and Agriculture Committee. #rhodeisland #newportbuzz
Standish Boat Yard, a staple of Tiverton’s water Standish Boat Yard, a staple of Tiverton’s waterfront for more than half a century, is officially remaining in the family. Jennifer and Andrew Cavanagh are taking over operations from Jennifer’s uncle, Ken Hilton, continuing a legacy that began in 1969 when the Hiltons and Brimicombes first purchased the property. Located along the Sakonnet River, Standish has served as a trusted haven for boaters and a gathering spot for locals for more than 50 years. Known for its personalized service and tight-knit community feel, the yard has become a cherished part of Tiverton’s coastal culture. Jennifer, a local Realtor, and Andrew, a marine contractor, bring deep local roots and industry experience to the role. Their transition signals both continuity and revitalization, with plans to maintain the yard’s welcoming spirit while introducing new ideas to keep Standish thriving for years to come. As summer arrives, customers can expect the same reliable service and friendly faces—now with a new generation at the helm. #tivertonri #newportbuzz
If Versailles and a summer fair had a very tastefu If Versailles and a summer fair had a very tasteful baby, this would be it. The 29th Annual Newport Flower Show is back at Rosecliff June 20-22, and this year’s theme — “A Floral Fair” — is serving us Gilded Age glamour with a wink. Think: fairy tale dinner party meets summer fête, where roses are practically gossiping and the peonies have opinions. Inside, you’ll be swept into Theresa Fair Oelrichs’ 1913 fantasy soirée, where floral designers and botanical artists are going all out with dreamy, dramatic, and occasionally cheeky nods to the past. Downstairs, the vibe shifts to whimsical charm — summer fair nostalgia wrapped in blooms and ribbons. Outside on the ocean lawn? Garden displays and horticultural glow-ups that’ll make your houseplants feel inadequate (but in a motivational way). And of course, what’s a fabulous flower show without a little shopping? Swing through the Marketplace for garden treasures, curated finds, and maybe a new sunhat you definitely needed. ✨June 20-22 at Rosecliff
🎟️ Tickets available at newportmansions.org
💐 Come for the flowers, stay for the fantasy — it’s c’est magnifique. #NewportFlowerShow #NewportBuzz #Rosecliff #NewportRI #gildedage #newportmansions
