Police are investigating a potential threat made a Police are investigating a potential threat made against Middletown High School on Wednesday. The school’s superintendent, Billy Niemeyer, wrote a letter late Wednesday that the threat was reported online by students and parents. According to the school district, the police have determined the threat to be non-credible, and classes will proceed as scheduled on Thursday. The Middletown Police Department is still working to trace the origin of the message, which has not been disclosed publicly. Niemeyer emphasized the importance of students reporting any concerns to trusted adults. The district is urging parents to remind their children to speak up if they hear or see something concerning. The district will continue collaborating with local police to ensure the safety of students. Anyone with additional information is encouraged to contact the Middletown police or school officials. “We take all threats seriously and are committed to maintaining a safe learning environment for all students,” said Niemeyer. #middletownri #rhodeisland #newportbuzz

BREAKING: Newport City Council REVOLTS Against May BREAKING: Newport City Council REVOLTS Against Mayor Khamsyvoravong Over Secret Naval War College Meetings! The Newport City Council is up in arms over Mayor Xaykham Khamsyvoravong’s covert dealings with the Naval War College regarding a redevelopment plan for the city’s North End. In a heated council meeting, tempers flared over a simple request for transparency — a resolution asking the Navy for access to a mysterious 150-page report, one that reportedly includes quotes from Mayor Khamsyvoravong himself. The resolution passed 5-2, but guess who voted to keep the report under wraps? None other than Mayor Khamsyvoravong and Councilor ”show your tax returns for a parking sticker” Aramli. So, what are they hiding? Why the secrecy? Stay tuned. We’ll have more tomorrow! #xayfornewport #newportri #newportbuzz #navy #navalwarcollege
In a move that will alter traffic patterns in down In a move that will alter traffic patterns in downtown Newport, the City Council approved a Councilman David Carlin’s resolution Wednesday night to reverse the flow on Dixon Street. The new direction will shift traffic from East to West, moving downhill, instead of the previous West to East, which was uphill. The change will result in the loss of five parking spaces on Spring Street and a reduction of 50 feet of parking on Dixon Street. Additionally, traffic is expected to increase on Hammond Street as a consequence. Newport’s brand new City Manager Colin Kennedy noted that Newport’s traffic engineers did not contribute to the discussion at the meeting, citing a lack of time for a thorough review of the change. Councilman David Carlin challenged this explanation, emphasizing that the engineers had over three years to assess the proposal. Carlin, who has advocated for this change on behalf of local residents, argued that the current traffic conditions on Dixon Street pose safety risks. Residents supported the resolution, citing concerns about the dangerous traffic situation. On the other hand, Bari Freeman of Bike Newport opposed the change, arguing that Dixon Street is popular among cyclists and the new flow could impact their travels. Despite the controversy, the resolution passed with unanimous support from the Council, with a 7-0 vote. #newportri #newportbuzz #thamesstreet #scenesofnewengland
Rhode Island is buzzing with concern as health off Rhode Island is buzzing with concern as health officials confirm the state’s first human case of Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE) virus this year. The patient, a Providence County resident in their 70s, marks the first EEE infection in the state since 2019—and the 11th since 1983. But that’s not all. The Department of Health also announced two probable cases of West Nile Virus (WNV), with one confirmed by the CDC. The latest WNV case involves a Newport County resident in their 60s. “This is serious business,” warns RIDOH Director Jerome Larkin, MD, urging Rhode Islanders to ramp up their defenses against the bloodsucking pests. “We’re seeing more cases pop up not just here, but across Massachusetts and Connecticut. Now’s the time to protect yourself.” Health officials are practically begging residents to avoid the outdoors at sunrise and sunset—prime mosquito time. If you can’t resist that morning jog or evening BBQ, long sleeves, pants, and EPA-approved bug spray with DEET are a must. And don’t think this is just a scare tactic—the numbers don’t lie. West Nile is already the most common mosquito-borne illness in the U.S., and with no vaccine in sight, it’s crucial to avoid getting bitten. #wnv #eee #mosquitos #rhodeisland #newportcounty #newportri #newportbuzz

Todd Morgan Beamer, 32, was a passenger on United Todd Morgan Beamer, 32, was a passenger on United Airlines Flight 93 during the September 11, 2001 attacks. When hijackers took control of the plane, Beamer, along with other passengers, made a heroic attempt to reclaim the aircraft. During the struggle, the plane lost control and crashed into a field in Stonycreek Township near Shanksville, Pennsylvania. Though all on board were killed, their bravery is believed to have prevented a larger catastrophe by stopping the hijackers from reaching their intended target. Beamer is survived by his wife, Lisa, and their children, David and Andrew, who were just three and one years old at the time of his death. His daughter, Morgan, was born after the tragedy. On September 20, 2001, President George W. Bush addressed a joint session of Congress and the American people, highlighting the courage of the passengers on Flight 93. He specifically honored Beamer, calling him “an exceptional man.” In a later address on November 8 from Atlanta, Bush invoked Beamer’s iconic last words, “Let’s roll,” as a symbol of American courage. The phrase became a rallying cry for the nation and was repeated in Bush’s 2002 State of the Union address: “For too long, our culture has said, ‘If it feels good, do it.’ Now America is embracing a new ethic and a new creed: ‘Let’s roll.’” (Link in bio) #letsroll #neverforget #toddbeamer #newportbuzz #flight93
As the nation reflects on the 23rd anniversary of As the nation reflects on the 23rd anniversary of the September 11 attacks, the Newport community and Rogers High School pause to remember Michael E. Gould, a beloved son of the city and a member of the Rogers High School Class of 1990. After graduating from Rogers High School, Mike continued his education at Villanova University, where he pursued his passion for business. His career ambitions led him to Cantor Fitzgerald, a prestigious financial firm in New York City, where he worked as a securities trader. Tragically, Mike was one of the many lives lost in the attacks on the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. As Newport reflects on the events of that fateful day, the memory of Michael Gould stands as a reminder of the countless lives touched by kindness, generosity, and love—a reminder that even in the darkest of times, the light of those we lose continues to shine.

Perhaps we should take a moment today to reflect a Perhaps we should take a moment today to reflect and remember when we were united as a nation, when political differences didn’t turn neighbors into enemies, friends into foes, and families into strangers. We can do better as a people and as a nation. That which divides us must never be stronger than what unites us. We are one people, one nation, and it’s about time that we start acting like it again. I’ll get off my soapbox. #911 #neverforget #nyc #usa #america #newportbuzz #september11th #nyc #newyorkcity
