Local coach and youth advocate Randy Butler was re Local coach and youth advocate Randy Butler was recognized this week with Middletown’s latest “Marvelous” award for his dedication to area students. At a Town Hall ceremony, Butler received a citation and several gifts, including a town tile. He was nominated by Councilor Chris Logan, who praised his tireless efforts to uplift local youth. “I’m happy doing what I do and will continue to give back,” Butler said. “It’s definitely needed.” Logan described Butler as “a pillar in the Middletown community with the work he does to promote the health and wellness for our kids.” He highlighted Butler’s contributions through the Butler Basketball Club, the school backpack drive with the Middletown Police Department, and his latest initiative, Island Life Skills. “Randy works tirelessly devoting his time, energy, efforts and most importantly, his knowledge and passion to the kids in our community,” Logan said. “He is unwavering and dedicated to ensuring our kids have opportunities and an outlet to grow here in Middletown.” A former standout basketball player at Rogers High School, Butler has received recognition from organizations including the Women’s Resource Center of Newport & Bristol Counties and the NAACP. In 2019, he was named Junior Boston Celtics Coach of the Year. A social media post from the Celtics featured Butler waving to the crowd and posing with then-head coach Brad Stevens. Butler and his wife, Janetta Donovan, founded the Butler Basketball Club in 2016 to bring youth, law enforcement, and the community together through basketball. The club’s first major event, a police-and-kids tournament at Gaudet Middle School, drew large crowds. The club has since expanded, offering basketball skills training and hosting guest appearances by top athletes, including WNBA All-Star Chiney Ogwumike. The Island Life Skills program now provides students with education on financial literacy, job readiness, African heritage, and more. Butler also coaches the boys’ basketball team at Gaudet Middle School.

As members of the Rhode Island State Police, the N As members of the Rhode Island State Police, the Newport Ancient Order of Hibernians, and the Artillery Company of Newport began to fall into formation for Newport’s 69th Annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade outside City Hall, the state’s top politicos were nibbling on Irish soda bread and mingling inside the Council Chambers on March 15. Looking sharp in a Kelly-green blazer, Mayor Charlie Holder was all smiles as he greeted Senator Sheldon Whitehouse and representatives from across the state. Councilor Jeanne Marie Napolitano donned a Newport Tartan shawl, topped with a green sash emblazoned with “Former Mayor.” Jimmy Winters looked grand in his stylish sunglasses, overcoat, and Grand Marshal sash, having held the honor in 2021. Dr. Kelli J. Armstrong was festive with a green top hat as she chatted with Rear Admiral Darryl Walker, who said it was his first time marching in Newport’s parade, though he had watched it once from the steps of the Courthouse in 2015. Colleen Burns Jermain was prepared for the damp weather and looked chic in her fur hat and Newport Tartan scarf as she said hello to Senator Jack Reed. Governor Dan McKee garnered big cheers as he walked down America’s Cup Avenue in a jacket embroidered with “McKee 76 Rhode Island” and a green tie. The Parade Day breakfast is a long-standing tradition that is open to the public. #newportbuzz #buzzingaroundnewport #newportri #newportstpats
