Wrote about a local soccer player trying to break it into the pros. Got an email this morning that a pro scout had read the article (in the PRINT paper) during a coffee run in Warren and she is now signed to a pro team in Iceland. Why we do it! 📰👏 eastbayri.com/stories/local-…

Bristol authorities have confirmed they found a body near the Lobster Pot on Hope Street this afternoon. No confirmation if it is related to the woman who fell overboard from the Prudence Island Ferry yet.

For the first time in 28 years, the Barrington/Mt.Hope Thanksgiving Day Game will not take place on Thanksgiving. It's been postponed a week due to a COVID outbreak at Mt. Hope. @mthopehs @bhs_ri

New superintendent of @BWRSD is Ana Riley, former super for Portsmouth and most recently the deputy commissioner for instructional programs with the @RIDeptEd. Committee unanimously approved a 3-year, $180K contract at tonight's meeting.

Full update on this morning's shooting:

As other media reporting, a situation involving an active shooter in Bristol has caused 2-hour delayed openings at Colt Andrews and Guiteras Elementary Schools. Police last seen trying to talk suspect into surrendering.
How many issues could be avoided or remedied if people simply took the time to talk WITH one another rather than shout AT one another? Combating division in our society starts with every one of us.

An educational consultant with degrees from @HowardU, @BrownUniversity and a certificate from @HarvardHBS said that the Bristol Warren School Committee's decision to deny her contract as a vendor for PD at Mt. Hope High was "absolutely" based in racism.

The denial of grant money for a project-based learning initiative, based on some members being "uncomfortable" with the consultant chosen to provide professional development at Mt. Hope, has led to accusations of racism in Bristol Warren. More to come. eastbayri.com/warren/stories…

Full house and TV news stations at Warren Town Hall tonight for Town Council where they will discuss the future of the Italo American Club.
New details on the shooting in Warren last week confirm that the gunman died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, and that Bristol's top two officer (chief and deputy chief) were the two that engaged him on Water St. eastbayri.com/warren/stories…
I picked the right time to start covering Warren.

After facing mounting pressure, @GovDanMcKee mandates masks in Rhode Island’s K-12 schools. It comes after @RIHEALTH director wrote to all superintendents this week, asking for them to implement the mandate.
Here’s that letter:
The Bristol-Warren School Committee is facing lots of pressure to not issue a mask mandate from vocal parents and students. Some members have privately indicated their opposition to one. They have a big decision to make this upcoming Monday. eastbayri.com/bristol/storie…
Excited to announce that today marks the beginning of my re-entry into RI journalism. Dusting off the voice recorder and cracking open a fresh reporter pad as an editor for @eastbayri. See you out in the field!
Leave it to @JoeShekarchi to share a story restoring my faith in humanity for the day.
My sincerest thanks go out to @RIPTA_RI bus operator Ellie Giblin, whose compassion and quick thinking saved a man's life. While driving her bus 4/3, Ellie spotted a man on the railing of the Henderson Bridge, ready to jump. Ellie stopped the bus, got out, and talked to him (1/2)
