A vibrant community mural, just weeks from complet A vibrant community mural, just weeks from completion, was accidentally painted over by city workers — and furious locals are pointing fingers at Newport’s often under-fire and unqualified City Manager, Colin Kennedy. The city admitted the colossal blunder Friday, saying the Utilities Department mural on Hillside Avenue was “painted over in error” by staff who thought they were prepping the wall for finishing touches. “We’re incredibly sorry to say that our community mural — which was only weeks away from completion — was painted over in error this week by some very well meaning and hard working staff members,” the city wrote in a statement, stressing it was not due to complaints. The mural had been months in the making, led by artist Nycole Matthews and students from Pell Elementary, Thompson Middle School, and the Met School. It was part of last year’s Clean Water Week initiative and intended to highlight Newport’s stormwater and water systems. Now, all that work — gone. City officials say they’re “gutted” and scrambling to find a fix. But critics argue the buck stops with Kennedy, whose short tenure has already raised eyebrows over mismanagement. “It seems the work order was misunderstood and for that we’re truly sorry,” the city said. Sorry doesn’t repaint a mural. #newportri #newportbuzz
Tiverton High School’s varsity football team wil Tiverton High School’s varsity football team will not play the remainder of its regular season after injuries and low participation left the Tigers unable to safely compete, school officials announced Friday. Superintendent Christopher Haskins said the decision followed weeks of concern. After a 49-0 loss in the opener, Tiverton forfeited its second game when only 12 players were available. Though the roster lists 25 athletes, several are sidelined by injuries, and 16 are freshmen or sophomores. “Given these circumstances, continuing to compete at the varsity level would not be responsible or safe at this time,” Haskins said in a statement. The junior varsity team will complete its schedule, and opposing schools may fill the canceled varsity slots with non-league games or JV matchups. Haskins said the district is hopeful Tiverton can still take the field for its traditional Thanksgiving Day rivalry game against Rogers High School. “We remain committed to supporting our football program and ensuring its long-term sustainability,” Haskins said. “We look forward to returning to varsity competition in the 2026 season with a stronger, healthier roster.” #tivertonri #newportbuzz
