Good morning, Newport.

Salve Regina University’s dance program will present ‘Soul Traffic’ at the Casino Theatre (9 Freebody St) from Feb.

5-7. Directed by Lindsay Guarino, the performance will feature student work, alumni pieces and guest artists exploring the journey from chaos to connection.

A Newport man nearly missed out on a $32,000 Wild Money jackpot by claiming his prize five days before his ticket expired.

He bought the winning ticket at Joe’s Kwik Marts on West Main Rd in Middletown and said he will use the winnings to help his family.

Newport extended the deadline for clearing sidewalks until daylight Tuesday as workers cleared streets from the winter storm while a parking ban on snow emergency streets remained until 9 p.m. Monday (residents were urged to use free city lots).

A film screening and panel on involuntary discharges, arranged by Edward King House Senior Center, SACRI, and Age-Friendly Rhode Island, has been postponed (rescheduling planned) while organizers stress the need for families to learn about senior care; the event was set for Newport.

A smart home guide released yesterday offers Newport residents practical advice on selecting beginner-friendly devices for lighting, security, climate control and entertainment.

The piece explains how to choose a primary platform such as Alexa, Google or Apple to ensure Matter-enabled devices work seamlessly together.

From Jan. 19-23, only three homes sold in Newport County according to the statewide MLS, highlighting a continued shortage of active listings.

The slow market suggests buyers may face less competition until new listings appear later this winter.
