New law requires life vests for those towed by boats

Less than a month before a 17-year-old Barrington boy died while skimming along the Barrington River on a boat-towed kneeboard, a new state law took effect requiring anyone riding a device towed behind a boat to wear a Coast Guard-approved life jacket.

Patrick Murphy, 17, of 15 Noble Ave., was not wearing a life vest while riding the kneeboard Tuesday evening, authorities said.

It's unclear yet whether wearing a life jacket could have saved his life. Searchers recovered Murphy's body about 2:45 p.m. yesterday in the water in the vicinity of Barrington Town Hall.

The driver of the boat that was towing him, Ryan A. Greenberg, also 17, of 33 Lamson Rd., was cited by the Department of Environmental Management with reckless boating and refusing to submit to a chemical test.

Rep. Lawrence W. Ehrhardt, R-North Kingstown, the prime sponsor of the bill in the House, said in an interview today that the state Department of Environmental Management had approached him to see if the change could be made to the law.

"When DEM first brought it to my attention back in January, we found two things: One is that a good number of neighboring states already required a flotation device on someone being towed," Ehrhardt said.

The other, he said, was "most everyone we spoke to in Rhode Island had just assumed we had already required that. So people were actually surprised to find out that it was not law in Rhode Island."

Ehrhardt's co-sponsor for the bill was Rep. Susan Story, R-Barrington.

Before the law change took effect, people in Rhode Island riding water skis, a surfboard, a tube or other device towed behind a boat did not have to wear a flotation device. The law said at the time that a flotation device needed to be aboard the boat doing the towing.

The legislation cleared the General Assembly without opposition and took effect on June 22 when Governor Carcieri signed it -- with matching Senate legislation by Sen. Leo R. Blais, R-Coventry -- into law.

On really hot days, two Prov. libraries may close

PROVIDENCE -- Patrons of two city public library branches have been advised the branches could shut down on "exceedingly hot or high ozone alert days."

According to a news release, library officials alerted patrons of Knight Memorial, at 275 Elmwood Ave., and Smith Hill Branch, 31 Candace St., "of the potential for incidental closings."

“These facilities lack air conditioning and the closings occur when the temperature exceeds or is expected to exceed safe levels for operation,” Tonia Mason, communications director, said in the statement.

Library officals encourage people to call the branches before going to determine the status. Knight Memorial can be reached at 455-8102. Smith Hill Branch is at 455-8104. Closure announcements will also be posted on the library's Web site.

Boa's owner getting squeezed by the law

NORTH KINGSTOWN — A West Warwick man who allegedly tried to pawn his boa constrictor off on police faces two misdemeanor charges for lying to the department.

You might say he’s been snakebit.

Michael A. Medeiros, of 127 Gough Ave., was arrested Tuesday night for abandoning his 6-foot-long boa constrictor at the Post Road police station.

On Monday, the pet owner drove to the police station with the snake in his car. He told officers he found the snake – native to Mexico and South America -- slithering along Ten Rod Road shortly after 10 p.m.

But police – after babysitting the snake overnight – on Tuesday discovered Medeiros had tried to sell the same snake to a North Kingstown pet store the day before.

The store declined to buy the snake, and Medeiros bought a smaller snake – a python – instead, Capt. Charles Brennan said yesterday.

After talking to workers at Critter Hut Aquarium & Pets in North Kingstown, a police officer later questioned Medeiros, who admitted he owned the snake, but could no longer care for it because it was too big, Brennan said.

“He ended up buying a second snake and abandoning the first one -- on us,” Brennan said.

Medeiros, also charged with obstructing a police officer, is scheduled to appear in Washington County District Court on July 31.

-- Journal staff writer Paul Davis

The abandoned boa, which spent the night in a police lieutenant’s office, is now on display in a large cement and glass cage at Regal Reptiles, a reptile exhibit in Providence.

The snake, however, yesterday showed little interest in its mid-afternoon snack – a frozen rat.

“It has a respiratory infection,” said Shawn Fay, an owner of the exhibit. “We’ll ask our vet to look at it. It may need a shot.”

2 teens stabbed when sleepover turns into brawl

CHARLESTOWN – Two teenagers suffered stab wounds after a sleepover on Pasture Lane turned into a brawl involving at least 16 Chariho High School students early yesterday, the police said.

Parents alerted police last night that their child had attended a co-ed gathering at the 50 Pasture Lane that erupted into violence, Sgt. Patrick McMahon said today.

The teenagers were camping outside the home of Steven and Beth Wallander, when they began exchanging antagonizing cell phone calls and text messages with other teens, he said. The second faction showed up around 2 a.m. yesterday, and the group took their fight out onto the cul de sac, he said.

He described the teenagers as “gangster wannabes,” who were largely sophomores, juniors and seniors at Chariho High School. He said the boys might have been trying to impress girls.

Two boys, 15 and 17, were stabbed by knives estimated at 4” to 6” inches long during the fight, McMahon said. The 17-year-old, Bryan Bailey, of 18 Niantic Highway, suffered a “deep and penetrating” laceration to his wrist that required at least 12 stitches.

The 15-year-old, who police declined to name because he is a juvenile, sustained six puncture wounds to his upper shoulder area, McMahon said.

“He’s very, very lucky,” McMahon said. If the wounds had been slightly deeper, it could have punctured his lung or heart, he said. That student sought medical treatment after speaking with police yesterday.

The police charged Bailey; a 15-year-old male from Hope Valley; and a 16-year-old male from Hopkinton with disorderly conduct for fighting. He expected more charges to be filed.

The police were still piecing the incident together yesterday as more teenagers came in for questioning. The two knives used had not been recovered.

Woman accused of failing to report 2 deaths in SUV

PROVIDENCE -- Two men found dead in an SUV on Manton Avenue apparently overdosed on prescription drugs, and a Johnston woman who owned the vehicle has been charged with two felonies for failing to report their deaths.

Tina Marie Venticinque, 31, of 40 Pezzullo St., 2nd floor, was charged with two counts of failure to report a death after the Providence police reported to a parking lot at 981 Manton Ave. and found the dead men -- one in the front, the other in the back seat -- of her SUV.

“It wasn’t murder,” said Police Chief Dean Esserman at a news conference today.

Police Maj. Stephen Campbell, head of the detective division, said the names of the victims, 54 and 49, were being withheld pending notification of kin. Both men lived on Manton Avenue. The police said that one of the victims was a double-amputee who had a prescription for the drug that was the source of the apparent overdoses.

Campbell said that Venticinque left the men in the SUV for several hours before she returned about 10:30 last night. Once she realized both men were dead, she called the police. The state medical examiner’s office is performing autopsies to determine the exact cause of death, the police said.

Carcieri vetoes fertility insurance for unmarried women

PROVIDENCE -- Governor Carcieri has vetoed a bill that would mandate increased health insurance coverage for diagnosing and treating infertility for unmarried women.

"This legislation, by removing the requirement that women be married, forces health insurance companies to subsidize out-of-wedlock births," Carcieri wrote in his veto message. "As a matter of public policy, the state should be encouraging the birth of children in two-parent families, not the reverse."

The governor expressed two criticisms in his veto message.

One is that the legislature already approved legislation that required additional coverage by expanding infertility benefits to women up to age 42 and redefining the meaning of infertility to be the inability to sustain a pregnancy for one year. Previously, it was two years.

The governor's other concern was that law "specifically limited this benefit to married women having a legitimate medical concern regarding infertility." That was to ensure that health insurance coverage was required for married couples, "a narrow and appropriate state policy," the veto message says.

The message adds: "Any further tinkering with this benefit is unnecessary and unwarranted, and allows for even further creeping of cost in our healthcare system."

Great White dedicates new album to fire victims

Great White released a new record this week, the group’s first disc of new material since The Station nightclub fire.

The band's pyrotechnics ignited soundproofing installation at the West Warwick club, starting the Feb. 20, 2003, blaze that killed 100 people and left more than 200 injured. One of its members, guitarist Ty Longley, died in the fire.

Back to the Rhythm came out Tuesday on Shrapnel Records, a northern California label better known for progressive and thrash metal than the hard rock that Great White has purveyed since the ‘80s.

I’ve missed my friends.”

In a statement issued through their publicist, the band said, “The band dedicated the new CD to those who lost their lives and those who were injured that tragic night of February 20th, 2003, in West Warwick, Rhode Island. You are forever in our prayers and in our hearts. May God bless you and yours.The composition ‘How Far From Heaven’ was inspired by the tragedy.”

Update: 18-year-old charged in July 4th murder

PROVIDENCE – The police have a suspect in custody in connection with the July Fourth murder of Darren Reagans, who was stabbed to death outside a local club.

Bruce Moten, 18, of 99 Bowdoin St. in Providence turned himself in to police headquarters last night with his attorney, police said.

Reagans, 18, a former basketball and football player, was attacked by 10 to 15 people as he walked to take a place in line with others waiting to enter an all-ages party at La Rumba nightclub, at 1206 Broad St.

Detectives had obtained an arrest warrant for Moten on Monday, after three witnesses had identified him as the killer in interviews with detectives beginning Sunday night, Cmdr. Paul J. Kennedy said.

He was ordered held without bail at his arraignment this afternoon in Sixth District Court, Providence.

Reagans’ girlfriend, Candease Harris, with whom he had a daughter, attended the press conference this afternoon. The couple, who had known each other since they attended Martin Luther King Jr. Elementary School, were expecting their second child in five months. Harris said that the arrest of Moten brings no solace.

“My two daughters are still without a father,” she said.

Moten is charged with one count of murder and has been held at the police station.

Smart car makes appearance on city streets / Photo

Lisa Childress of Providence checks out the smart car today on Angell Street in Wayland Square in Providence, where it was parked perpendicular in the parking space.

PROVIDENCE -- Here’s your chance to check out the smart car, which is in town as part of smart USA’s “street smart” road show, a national tour to introduce the iconic two-seater to U.S. consumers.

Mercedes-Benz’s smart car, which has sold 750,000 models in 36 countries since it was launched in Europe in 1998, is stopping in Warwick today and near Waterplace Park in Providence tomorrow and Saturday.

I took a short test drive in one this morning with smart rep Kia Goddard and found the car fun to drive and comfortable, even on the highway where it more than held its own. It did not feel unsafe – it has a host of safety features – and, boy, does it attract a crowd.

Top speed is about 90 mph, while fuel consumption is more than 40 miles per gallon. And it is so short - just over 8-3/4 feet long by about 5 feet wide - that it can be parked perpendicular to the sidewalk!

The road show features 4 smart fortwo cars for test-drives on a closed course, a mobile smart exhibit with interactive displays and virtual safety demonstrations and a safety display – safety is the No. 1 question this side of the Atlantic, according to smart reps – featuring the “Tridion cell” (reinforced steel cage), dual and side airbags, electronic stability program and anti-lock brakes.

The display is open today at the Mercedes-Benz dealership at Inskip in Warwick and at 5 Moshassuck Street near Stillman Street and Exchange Street tomorrow, 12 to 8 p.m., and Saturday, 12 to 5 p.m.

Roger Williams law school to drop Papitto's name

BRISTOL -- The dean of Roger Williams University's law school said today that "in the coming weeks, all references to the Ralph R. Papitto School of Law will be removed in an appropriate and orderly way."

In a statement, David A. Logan, the dean, said the school is returning to its original name, the Roger Williams University School of Law.

Yesterday, Richard Bready, the chairman of the university's board of trustees, accepted Papitto's request that Papitto's name be taken off the law school -- following controversy over Papitto's use of a racial slur during a trustees meeting.

Logan's statement today said he joins with university President Roy J. Nirschel in "thanking Mr. Papitto for making a difficult personal decision, but one that is clearly in the best interests of the law school he helped establish."

Papitto, who was apologetic about the slur, also said in his statement that "a continued public discussion and debate over the name of the law school serves only to further damage the university." So he asked that his name be removed from the law school.

"While we have now returned to our original name," Logan said, "the law school has always been committed to the core values that animated the life and work of our namesake, Roger Williams: an independence of mind, and a deep respect for all, regardless of race, creed, color, or religion."

-- projo.com staff writer Michael P. McKinney

Logan also said: "Recent events have been difficult for everyone associated with Roger Williams University, especially the law school community. I have been impressed with the candor and civility with which these sensitive issues have been discussed, and with the respect that has been given to the many opinions that have been expressed. "

Update: Derderians launch charity / Photo

Journal photo / Kathy Borchers
Jody F. King, whose brother, Tracy, was killed in the fire, puts his arm around Jeffrey Derderian as he speaks at the press conference.

WARWICK – Jeffrey A. Derderian said he and his brother, Michael, faced two choices in the wake of The Station nightclub fire: they could have moved out of the area and pretended that the fire never happened, or they could have stayed and tried to help.

This morning, Derderian, who co-owned the nightclub with his brother, formally launched their effort to help.

The brothers hope The Station Education Fund charity will help the nearly 80 children who lost parents in the 2003 nightclub blaze that killed 100 people and injured 200.

Jeffrey and Michael Derderian formed the nonprofit along with Jody King, whose brother, Tracy, was one of those killed in the fire.

"Michael and I are acutely aware that no matter what we do, no matter how much money we raise, it's not going to erase the loss and heartache that people have," Jeffrey Derderian said today at the Warwick Public Library, 600 Sandy Lane in Warwick.

The fund's Web site is now operating and accepting donations, he said.

Jeffrey Derderian declined to say how much he and his family contributed to start the fund, except to say there are currently thousands of dollars in it.

Announcing the charity earlier this month, Jeffrey Derderian said the Station Education Fund is the first of several planned efforts to “provide some measure of solace to all those affected.” He declined to say what else the brothers have in mind.

The fund will raise money through a variety of events, he said, listing carnivals, golf tournaments and letter-writing campaigns as possible examples. The fund’s first event, a motorcycle ride and stunt show called “Revving up for Kids,” has been scheduled for Sept. 30.

Both Derderians pleaded guilty to 100 counts of involuntary manslaughter last September. Michael was sentenced to serve four years in prison. Jeffrey was sentenced to perform 500 hours of community service. Work on the fund will not count toward the community service, he said.

Easy Bake toy ovens recalled for 2nd time this year

WASHINGTON -- The Easy Bake oven, an iconic toy with a four-decade history, has been recalled for the second time in less than a year, government safety advocates announced today.

In February Easy Bake's parent company, Pawtucket-based Hasbro Inc, recalled 985,000 of the toys because children were getting their hands and fingers trapped in the front opening, and some were burned. At that time, Hasbro offered a free repair kit to improve the oven's safety.

Since the February announcement, the company has received an additional 249 reports of children getting their hands or fingers caught in the ovens, including 16 reports of second- and third-degree burns. One burn required partial amputation of a 5-year-old girl's finger.

As a result, Hasbro is recalling all front-loading Easy Bake ovens sold since May 2006, even those that were repaired with the free kit distributed after the February recall.

-- The Associated Press

CPSC spokeswoman Julie Vallese said they do not know how many, if any, of the additional 249 injuries occurred in repaired ovens.

The ovens should already be off store shelves, according to Hasbro spokesman Wayne Charness. The company is urging all owners to contact Easy Bake and exchange their ovens for a Hasbro product voucher. For more information, oven owners can call 800-601-8418 or visit the Hasbro Web site's Easy Bake page where recall information is published.

But this isn't the end of the Easy Bake oven, Charness insisted.

"It does have a 40-year history, so we're trying to get it back out there," he said. "We are working on bringing a new model into the marketplace as soon as we can."

Police following leads in fatal cab driver shooting

CENTRAL FALLS – The police continue to investigate the Monday shooting in broad daylight that took the life of Providence cab driver Jose Rodriguez.

Detectives are “actively pursuing leads,” but have no suspects in custody, Police Chief Joseph Moran III said this morning.

“It’s not tolerable,” he said of the 12:30 p.m. shooting in the city. “It’s obviously a heinous crime to begin with, but at 12:30 in the afternoon – it’s not going to be tolerated around here.”

Moran encouraged anyone who may have seen something suspicious to call the police, at (401) 727-7411, and ask to speak with detectives.

The police found Rodriguez shot in his cab on Fuller Avenue in Central Falls Monday at midday. The manager of Gonzalez Cab had alerted the police after Rodriguez’s wife told her she had been talking to him while he gave three men a ride and suddenly was disconnected. Rodriguez died Tuesday afternoon after being shot in the head.

The real Tom Brady doesn't have to stand up in court

"Tom Brady" is a bespectacled, 39-year-old attorney who dreams of being the two-time Super Bowl MVP.

To the disappointment of court watchers in Boston, the real Tom Brady, who dates super model Giselle Bundchen, will not testify during the retrial of former Patriots' offensive coordinator Charlie Weis's medical malpractice case.

The Patriots quarterback testified during the first attempt to try the case, but that case ended in a mistrial in February. The retrial is now under way in Suffolk Superior Court, and rather than hauling Brady back to the courthouse, lawyers decided to have his testimony from the first trial read to the jurors.

Playing the role of Brady was Mike Mone Jr., whose father is the lead attorney on Weis's team.

"Like many men, I dream of being Tom Brady," he said after the court recessed for the day. "But I don't know if this would be the 15 minutes I'd choose."

Weis is suing Charles Ferguson, director of Massachusetts General Hospital's surgical residency program, and Richard Hodin, a surgeon and professor at Harvard Medical School, accusing them of botching the surgery commonly known as stomach stapling.

The trial is continuing.

3 hospitalized after Lincoln crash

LINCOLN – Three people were hospitalized early this morning with injuries that don’t appear life-threatening after a three-car crash around 12:30 a.m. in a construction zone on Route 295 north.
