The regional warming shelter for East Greenwich is Warwick Vets, but perhaps we can help out closer to home
I've heard from a couple of readers asking about warming shelters. The warming shelter for our region is Warwick Vets High School in Warwick. And the Community Room at the EG Police Department is available, with heat and plugs. But how about helping our out-of-power neighbors with warm food, charging stations and, perhaps, a bed for the night? If you've got power and are willing to help, consider reaching out to those you know who are dark. Maybe it's an impromtu dinner invitation or slumber party. Let's see if we can help make these next hours/days easier. Any suggestions of how to organize this effort are appreciated!

Wanda loves people but would do best as the only pet in the house.
This is the sweet Wanda! She is a white-and-brindle Staffordshire Terrier mix and she is about a year old. Wanda was rescued from a high-kill shelter in the south. She arrived in November and she just loves people. She is very sweet, gentle and has lots of energy. She loves to play and run. She would do best as the only pet in a household.

East Greenwich town officials know they are going to be facing some extremely high water from hurricane Irene. The storm is scheduled to blow in right at high tide and that is a bad combination. The Harbormaster has advised boat owners to get their boats out of the water or take appropriate precautions. The only good thing about the hurricane is that it looks like it's coming on a weekend and hopefully will sandwich in between the start of the work week and any school activities. However, like all acts of nature, the storm may not stick to the projections and computer models as it moves up the East Coast. Town and Fire District officials met Thursday evening for a previously scheduled joint session, but the timing was perfect for an …

Great idea, Elizabeth. I'm on Grand View Road and I have power. If anyone needs to warm up, charge cell phones or video game systems for the kids, use our fridge, microwave, oven, shower, etc, please contact me - 885-0437. If anyone is vacating to a shelter or somewhere you can't take pets, I can take in and care for cats. (if you have dogs, I think I can find someone for you.). more ›
