RI driver refused to leave flooded car. Then police looked inside

A wet car put a Warwick driver in hot water last week. Amid heavy rainfall on Friday, Nov. 6, the Warwick police responded after the 53-year-old man's car became partially submerged at the Lincoln Avenue train trestle, the police said in a Facebook post . The driver refused to get out of the car "to avoid getting wet until a tow truck pulled the vehicle from the floodwater," the police said. "The concern was water getting into the vehicle. What was already inside became the bigger issue," the police said. Responding officers discovered that the driver had a suspended license. They also saw a "glass pipe commonly used to smoke crack" on the car's floor. A search uncovered methamphetamine and crack cocaine, the police said. The driver was arrested. "We’ll give him this: during the lengthy wait for the tow truck, he left everything in place, including the items officers would later seize," the police said. "His focus appeared to remain on keeping his feet dry." The police added, "A reminder: flooded roads are a reason to turn around."

What really happens to those bags of leaves after RI picks them up?

Have you ever wondered what happens to your lawn bags after they're picked up? Where do the grass clippings you empty from your lawnmower each summer and the leaves you rake every fall end up? It all ends up being turned into nutrient-rich compost that's reused to enrich gardens, sports fields and farms. But Rhode Island's cities and towns make that happen in different ways. A little over half of the 57,000 tons of yard waste collected by municipalities in the last fiscal year was handled on a local basis, according to data from the Rhode Island Resource Recovery Corp. , the quasi-public agency that manages trash and recycling for the state. The rest ended up at Resource Recovery's composting facility next to the Central Landfill in Johnston . In the last fiscal year, Resource Recovery took in about 25,000 tons of leaves, grass and brush collected by communities. All the material that ends up there is fed into a giant grinder that chews it into a uniform size. It also mixes it together to get the right blend of plant-nourishing nutrients from carbon-rich leaves and high-nitrogen grass. All of it comes out the other side on a conveyor belt.
