PORTSMOUTH, R.I. — Sometimes the job isn’t about f PORTSMOUTH, R.I. — Sometimes the job isn’t about flashing lights or sirens. Sometimes, it’s about stepping into freezing water and doing whatever it takes to help. Just after 8 a.m. this morning, Portsmouth police officers were called to Montaup Country Club after a dog slipped into a pond and couldn’t climb back out. With ice forming on the surface and temperatures hovering near freezing, time was critical. Lieutenant Khubchandani didn’t hesitate. He broke through the ice, waded into the cold, muddy water, and reached the stranded dog, carefully lifting her to safety. Moments later, the shaken but unharmed pup was reunited with her relieved owner — a scene that felt straight out of a holiday movie. The rescue left the lieutenant with a soaked uniform and a serious chill, but the outcome was all that mattered: a life saved and a family made whole again. Animal Control later followed up to ensure the dog was safe and warm, confirming she was doing just fine. In the end, it was just a wet uniform, an icy pond — and a Christmas miracle that reminded the community that heroism often shows up quietly, on cold mornings, when someone chooses to step forward. #portsmouthri #portsmouthpolice #newportbuzz
Greg Gizzi may have forgotten his Santa hat, but h Greg Gizzi may have forgotten his Santa hat, but he swung open the door at Cappy’s with more than enough good cheer — and a yuletide greeting for all — on Dec. 17 at Hillside Cafe’s annual Christmas party. Joe Dill, fresh off a flight from Germany, wasted no time sliding up to Pat and Rob Oakley, while Scottie and Kathy McLeish held court a few seats away. John Dias was comfortably settled at a table near Brian and Sue Garvey, who were joined by the Silveria brothers, still lingering over what they cheerfully referred to as their “pre-fighting beers.” The unmistakable scent of Sardella’s kitchen’s drifted through the room just ahead of chef Kevin Fitzgerald. Brian Arnold greeted one and all, even maneuvering over to say hello to Tommy Choice and Don Bobba in the corner, passing Jim Grauer at Dead Man’s Curve. Sully rolled in with Kyle Cavallaro, and there was a bit of chatter at the VIP table over tuxedo colors for Mayor Charlie Holder’s upcoming wedding. Brian Stout revealed powder blue was a contender, though he’s still ironing out the details with his seamstress in Fall River. Speaking of fashion, Chickenhawk claimed the evening’s unofficial best-dressed title in a red velvet blazer, though Steve Martin followed closely in a crimson jacket. Joe and Mary Donovan were greeted warmly upon arrival, and Beth Casey was presented with a card marking her well-earned retirement. “Oh my God, is that Ned McCarthy?” one gal asked. “Yeah, it is — his once-a-year check-in,” quipped another. John Vidinha noted the former fire chief was chatting with Jay Reed, whom he dubbed “the Cal Ripken of Cappy’s — seven out of seven-night attendance.” Meanwhile, at the other end of the bar, Sgt. Sexy was attempting to decipher the meaning of “six seven” between calls on his flip phone. (We’ll issue a follow-up if he ever gets the 411.) It was nice to see Ferbie taking a break from The Cooke House and enjoying himself in front of a bar. Behind it, Anita, Joey Lalli, and Sue Ring kept spirits and glasses full. When Lalli handed a drink to Karl Magner, he offered, “You’re a good man.” Magner didn’t hesitate: “You’re a great man.” We wholeheartedly agree. #buzzingaroundnewport
Residential Properties Ltd. has announced the sale Residential Properties Ltd. has announced the sale of 111 Harrison Avenue, Unit M9 in Newport for $2.6 million. Sales Associate Lee Scura Holloway (@leescurahollowayluxuryrealtor) represented the buyer in this notable transaction. The property was listed by Kristin Parella (@newportbespoke) of Lila Delman Compass (@liladelmancompass). Set within the storied Bonniecrest Manor House, the residence is part of a distinguished waterfront estate spanning approximately 12 landscaped acres, offering exceptional amenities including a tennis court, swimming pool, dock, and private beach. The original Tudor-style manor was designed in 1905 by architect John Russell Pope, with grounds historically attributed to Frederick Law Olmsted, and has since been thoughtfully converted into condominiums. This two-bedroom manor house residence underwent a comprehensive renovation in 2024, including new HVAC, plumbing, and electrical systems, along with fully redesigned kitchen and bathrooms. The interiors retain the grandeur of the original architecture, with high ceilings and expansive rooms accented by leaded glass windows that bathe the home in natural light throughout the day. The kitchen enjoys harbor views and is centered around an expansive marble island, complemented by a Wolf induction range and Miele commercial-grade dishwasher, creating a refined yet functional space for entertaining. The south-facing living room showcases original architectural detailing, a marble fireplace imported from France, and a wet bar with wine refrigeration. Both bedrooms feature working fireplaces and ensuite spa-style baths with heated stone floors, offering comfort and privacy within one of Newport’s most historically significant waterfront settings. The sale underscores continued demand for architecturally significant residences within Newport’s premier estates and reflects Residential Properties Ltd.’s (@residentialpropertiesltd) ongoing presence in some of the region’s most notable transactions. #newportri #residentialpropertiesltd
