Aggressive Dog Laws in Rhode Island: Vicious Dog Hearings, Owner Duties, and Liability

Explore amazing animal stories – visit Animal of Things Now and follow us! Aggressive dog laws in Rhode Island work differently than in many other states.

Canfield ’28: Hegseth dishonors Brown military students

On Monday, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth spoke at the Naval War College in Newport. During his fiery speech on the dangers of civilianizing military education, he announced that he had cut the NWC’s ties with Brown. He commented that “the only place more stridently ideological in one direction more than Columbia or Harvard is Brown.” But his announcement that he had directed the end of the 2014 Research and Education Memorandum of Agreement between Brown and the NWC was only a blip in his half-hour speech. The attack on Brown, however brief, follows a pattern of insults to the many Brunonians who served their country in the military. Brown and its military-affiliated students have made impressive strides in the past 15 years to ensure our community is welcoming to our service members and prepare students for service careers. By disrespecting that community, Hegseth dishonors these students.

Newport Schools Lay Out Fixes After Low State Test Ratings

Newport school officials said Thompson Middle School is rated one star and Pell Elementary School and Rogers High School two stars on state ratings. A district official said the district lacks sustained professional development, needs new-teacher mentoring, and has very limited tier 2 intervention, the extra help for struggling students. The student services director said about 26% of students districtwide qualify for special education and tied that rate partly to the lack of reading and math interventionists. Each school has filed an improvement report, and the district has added weekly writing in grades three through eight.

Glackin odd man out for council

As ballots continue to trickle into the state’s Board of Elections, the leading candidates for town council remain the same as on election night. The lone incumbent, Democrat Mary Glackin, is currently on the outside looking in. Although the state has not yet certified the election, it appears she will not be re-elected to her second term, as canvassing clerk Keith Ford said he only has five pending overseas ballots. Three of those ballots, moreover, are qualified for federal offices only.
