Foresake four-year terms
The most interesting kernel of information to come out of the city last week was the introduction of a package of Charter changes proposed by the City Council and City Manager Peter Graczykowski. In their infinite wisdom, in arguably the worst political climate the city, state and county has been ...
Coaching topics come to the fore
A couple of coaching topics in the city that have been simmering on the back burner came to the fore during the week. The East Providence High School coaching staff is facing a proposed 60-percent salary, which isn't sitting so well with many of those involved. The Budget Commission put ...
No conspiracy theories, please...
Look, I haven't been on this new beat that long and I've spent a majority of my career in Sports, but you don't have to be a genius to understand the reasons why the state decided to put the Budget Commission in place. Simply put, the city was in a ...
Politics-free week...almost
It's been about eight weeks since I changed up responsibilities here at The Post, and I have to say it was one of the most enjoyable I've had on the job. I don't know if it's a coincidence or not, but I didn't spend much time on politics over the ...
Good in E.P.? Yes, our schools
The buildings may not be the best, but the teachers and students in East Providence are pretty darn good. At least that's what I keep finding out when I visit them for the first time in this new gig. I had the pleasure of attending the Francis School's Reading Week ...
Good in E.P.? Not our politics
Councilman William Conley is right. There are a lot of very good things about the City of East Providence. However, I'm not quite sure our politics is one of them. As I wrote in an editorial a few weeks back, even though this is an election year, this isn't the ...
An eye-opening week
Vacations are great, but the week back, work-wise, is never pleasant; long hours spent trying to play catch-up with what's been missed. Glad it's over. I did spend a great deal of time at EPHS this week and what I found was pretty encouraging. Let's get this out of the ...
No rest for the leary
O.K., so I decide to take a break from the action and found out in East Providence, at least, there is no lull in the process. First off, we get a tip about TLA-Pond View filing Receivership papers in Superior Court and it proves to be accurate. The thing about ...
Need a vacation?
A little over two weeks into the job at the Post and realizing the truth depth of the city's woes. I guess we were a bit premature in our editorial in this week's paper (March 15 edition). Politics, unfortunately, will continue to play a significant role in work of the ...
Interesting first week
Spoke and/or met a lot of the city pols during my first full week on the News beat. Did not anticipate the follow-up story on Frank Devall's retirement from the Senate to go the way it did, but that's journalism. I was impressed with some of the artwork of city ...
New position
If you haven't noticed already, there have been some staff changes here at the Post as well as throughout East Bay Newspapers. We're a leaner machine now, which means not only will I continue to report about sports in the city, I'll also be chronicling events as its pertains to ...

Our song
As I write this on a cold Valentine’s Day morning, I’m thinking of the Sea Fare Inn. That’s the former Portsmouth restaurant where Michelle and I shared our first dance as husband and wife more than 20 years ago. It was recently torn down to make room for townhouses, but ...
Where did the oil go?
Scientists on a research vessel in theGulf of Mexico are finding a substantial layer of oily sediment stretching for dozens of miles in all directions. Their discovery suggests that a lot of oil from the Deepwater Horizon didn't simply evaporate or dissipate into the water -- it has settled to ...
Sakonnet Point Lighthouse: A Local Treasure
I learned of the repair work going on at Sakonnet Point Lighthouse through another publication, and with a weekend planned in Rhode Island to photograph some of the lighthouses there, I added Sakonnet Point Lighthouse to my list to visit and photograph. Being the eternal lighthouse enthusiast, I am always ...
Pension Wolf and the Three Little P-P-P-Pigs
Although Pension Wolf is guilty of blowing down these two houses, he should be acquitted but be required to participate in a weight-loss program. The Wolf never meant to get as large as he is today, but was enabled and enticed by a high-sugar diet. The case is a bit ...
