South Kingstown Town Council Approves Nichole Romane as New Town Clerk

Nichole Romane has been unanimously appointed as the new town clerk of South Kingstown by the Town Council. Town Manager James Manni recommended Romane, citing her impressive performance during a period when the current town clerk, Susan Flynn, was absent. Romane has served as the deputy town clerk for over two years and previously held a similar role in California. Her appointment will take effect on August 5. Flynn, who has served the town for 32 years, will retire on August 2.

RIDOH Reopens Kingston Camp and Camp Hoffman for Swimming

The Rhode Island Department of Health has reopened swimming at Kingston Camp and Camp Hoffman in South Kingstown. Recent tests confirmed that bacteria levels at these locations have returned to safe levels, allowing recreational activities to resume.

Celebrate Summer with Fresh, Local Foods

Make the most of summer by visiting your local farmers' markets for the freshest, locally-harvested foods. Enjoy the unbeatable taste of Rhode Island-grown tomatoes, corn, summer squash, lettuce, and blueberries, perfect for complementing a meal of locally-sourced meat or seafood. Shopping at a farmers' market is not only a nutritious choice but also a delightful way to celebrate the bounty of the summer harvest.
Support local farmers and savor the flavors of the season!
