Student film brings URI water level-rise research to small town

“Rising Waters,” a documentary produced by Mount Hope High School students, highlights community engagement in a small Rhode Island town’s rising water table. The documentary uses the University of Rhode Island’s research about how sea level rise and climate change are affecting small towns, including Warren, Rhode Island, a low-lying, urbanized coastal community, according to Rhody Today. The goal of the film’s storytelling is to turn residents’ concern into understanding risk and taking action, and it will screen on Nov. 17.

Back from injury, D-R girls soccer's Cassidy Hasenfratz was electric

Cassidy Hasenfratz’s promising high school soccer career was nearly halted only a month into it. In October 2025 during a South Coast Conference match against rival Seekonk, the then-freshman forward broke her leg in three places through her growth plate, an injury that was not only season-ending, but involved over eight months of recovery before doctors finally cleared her to play this past June. "From the day I got injured, it was devastating because soccer has been a part of my life since I could walk and talk," Hasenfratz, a Rehoboth resident who was born in Switzerland to a Swiss father, Cédric, and an American mother, Kristen.
