North Kingstown

She asked her mother whether he'd ever said anything about the cemetery, and her mother said only that his own father had kept the grounds before him and wouldn't work there after supper either.

Arthur was dying in the front bedroom of his house in North Kingstown in the winter of nineteen ninety-four, and his daughter Corrine had moved back in to look after him.

It was his lungs.

He was seventy-eight, and he'd been a pipe fitter at Quonset Point for most of his life, and by February, the visiting nurse had told Corrine it would be a matter of weeks.

He slept the rest of that night.

He died four days later, in the afternoon, with Corrine holding his hand.

She'd grown up in North Kingstown and gone to school there, and she'd never heard of Mercy Brown.

A few weeks after the funeral, she went to the library in Wickford and asked.

How did I never know this?

Andrew in North Kingstown, do we wanna chance this right now? [laughs]

Yeah, yeah.

Let's try it.

Down in Connecticut, Staples picked up a big win over Cheshire.

Cran- uh, North Kingstown beating Cranston West in Rhode Island.

That was a big win there for, um, for the Skippers.

So it was a really good weekend of high school football.

Jay, do you want to offer your unsolicited advice?

Before I do, let's go to North Kingstown.

Andrew, good morning.

What are your thoughts on this? When should kids be allowed to trick or treat on their own?

All through high school.

Oh, wow.

In North Kingstown, too, which is not, you know, I mean, there's a lot of space between those houses, but it's not like it's, you know, known for its crime rate.

Right.

Nancy, you had an amazing story on this.

This kind of comes out of North Kingstown.

We've heard sludge, sludge, sludge set the table on what the problem is here.

Sure.

It just says reasonable and, you know, reasonable conditions.

obviously in the eye of the beholder, hasn't gotten a lot of traction because the agencies that are subject to the public records request don't want to have to fill more and do more work and charge less money and be more open.

Now, a public agency, admittedly not one of the ones that has really taken a stand against it, which is the town of North Kingstown, has filed for public records from two quasi-public state agencies related to this proposed sludge plant in Kwanzaa Business Park.

North Kingstown hired some attorneys.

Or who have blown the whistle on other models through the years.

Oh, a Fabio comment from Andrew in North Kingstown.

[laughs] Should we?

I'm scared.

Yes.

And Sophia said, thanks, Sophia, North Kingstown.

Thanks, Jay, for my classroom song to welcome every class today.

There you

But

East Providence has school.

Sounds like North Kingstown, according to Sophia, has school.

So it's one of those days where some kids are out, some kids are in school.
