Fifth Warders gathered at Schanil Hall on June 28 Fifth Warders gathered at Schanil Hall on June 28 for Gooseberry Beach’s annual Cocktail Party. The beach was founded on July 12, 1952, when a group led by Luke Curren, John Phelan, Andrew Healy, and Paskle Flack negotiated the purchase of the property from the trustees of Newport Hospital for $10,000. Jonathan Brown Henry-Heywood did a stellar job organizing the evening, which featured food by McGrath Clambakes and music by Anita Mansfield. Dan Vara and Jamie McGlone mingled with Molly McGregor and Harle Tinney. Nearby, 5W queens Roni Mahoney, Kitchie Chestnut, and Regina Jones held court. On the deck, Harry Livingston and David Curtis chatted while Lisa Sicilian caught up with her former boss, Paul Fleming. Kelley Coen was enjoying herself after a triumphant night of fundraising for the Boys & Girls Clubs of Newport County. Gift baskets lined one wall, drawing plenty of raffle tickets. A wrapped “mystery box” garnered particular interest—leave it to Jason Heywood to come up with such a clever idea! Lisa Bell contributed a set of her signature candles, while Cathy Moore and Clare Garcia created an “everything basket.” Moore was especially excited to win a curated collection of summer entertaining plates donated by Dottie Berube. Meanwhile, Harle Tinney walked away with a Fourth of July basket crafted by Marnie Winters, one of the Fifth Ward Ya Ya’s. Fellow Ya Ya Renie Sullivan was also in attendance. Tina Chase was thrilled to win a painting of Keep Off Rock. She sat with her sisters Eileen Roberts and Tina Segerson. Schanil Hall is named after their father, Charlie, a founding member of Gooseberry Beach who conceived the idea of building a community hall in 1967—a space for members to hold meetings, host celebrations, and generate revenue to support the beach. The sisters were delighted to see Billy Connerton at the party and thanked him for installing plaques on the hall bearing their maiden name. #gooseberrybeach #newportri #newportbuzz

Caleb Leys is officially going pro! The Middletow Caleb Leys is officially going pro! The Middletown, Rhode Island native and University of Maine pitching ace was selected Monday morning by the Detroit Tigers in the fourth round of the 2025 MLB Draft — 129th overall — with a signing bonus well north of $500,000 It’s a big payday for Leys, who just wrapped up a dominant redshirt junior season and a remarkable comeback from Tommy John surgery in 2024. Leys earned America East Pitcher of the Year honors after leading the conference with a microscopic 2.44 ERA in the regular season — more than a full run better than the next guy. In conference play, he posted a ridiculous 1.10 ERA across eight starts, held batters to a .224 average, and struck out 50. He finished the season with a 5-2 record over 14 starts, racking up 74 strikeouts in 67 innings. He allowed just 20 earned runs and cut his walk rate nearly in half, issuing only 27 free passes. His 2.69 overall ERA led the league. After surgery sidelined him in 2024, Leys came back stronger than ever, slashing his ERA from 4.94 to 2.69 and cementing his status as one of the top arms in the region. MLB.com’s Sam Dykstra named him Maine’s top draft prospect, praising his 96 mph fastball and devastating low-80s slider and changeup combo. Over his Black Bears career, Leys racked up 214 strikeouts in 204 innings with a 4.10 ERA. He broke out in 2022 with America East All-Rookie Team honors and delivered one of his most clutch performances in 2023, spinning eight innings of one-run ball in the conference semifinals to help Maine punch its ticket to the Coral Gables Regional. Now, with a six-figure bonus in hand and pro scouts already buzzing, Leys has a chance to rise through the Tigers’ farm system and chase his MLB dream — all the way from Aquidneck Island to the Motor City. Watch out, Detroit. Middletown’s finest is coming for you. #calebleys #middletownri #detroittigers #newportbuzz
