Good morning, Warwick.

Twenty years after Hurricane Katrina hit, volunteers in South Kingstown recalled helping evacuees both locally and in New Orleans, with some remembering the tense moments at the start of recovery efforts—memories that continue to bind the community.

A 29-year-old motorcyclist suffered life-threatening injuries in a crash on Toll Gate Road at 9 a.m. Saturday when his motorcycle hit the rear of a car turning into a parking lot—police are investigating and ask anyone with information to call 401-468-4200.

Police in Rhode Island responded to two swatting calls on August 30—one on Winsome Drive in North Kingstown at 5 p.m. that showed no public danger and a second on Cliff Road in Warwick at 3 p.m. where a claim of shots fired and a hostage was later found false and is under investigation.

Rhode Island law allows parking in front of a house on a public street but does not permit parking in front of driveways or in areas such as highways, sidewalks, and near fire hydrants — rules that can lead to a vehicle being removed if deemed abandoned, unattended, or of no value. These restrictions aim to keep traffic safe and prevent illegal parking practices.

Warwick doctor Dr. Charles Calenda was fined $1,100 by the Rhode Island Department of Health after he performed a laser procedure on the wrong eye during treatment on June 28—he must complete a board-approved course within six months.
