Posted by Mike McKinney at 7:00 PM | Comment Alert: Tiverton teachers back strike call -- if neededTIVERTON -- The teachers union membership this evening authorized its negotiating committee to call a strike if it deemed it necessary next Tuesday. Amy Mullen, the NEA-Tiverton teachers union president, said the members authorized the committee at a 4:30 p.m. meeting to "to take whatever action it deems necessary up to and including a strike on Tuesday." She said the negotiating committee is making itself available to meet with one or more members of the School Committee over the weekend "in hopes that significant progress can be made" before Tuesday, when students would come back after the Labor Day weekend. Mullen also said the committee will not continue to meet with the School Committee's current configuration of negotiators. Teachers did report for the opening of school this past week as scheduled. Their contract is due to expire at midnight tonight. (An earlier report incorrectly said it had expired yesterday.) Yesterday, the teachers’ union filed an unfair labor practice charge against the School Committee, asserting the committee has bargained in bad faith by failing to appoint a negotiator authorized to reach a tentative agreement. -- projo.com staff writer Michael P. McKinney, with reports from Journal staff writer Gina Macris And tensions have flared this week. Crowley last night released a copy of a memo Schools Supt. William J. Rearick sent to teachers Tuesday apologizing for telling them to "sit down and shut up" at a district orientation meeting in the high school auditorium earlier that day. “My intention was to get the meeting started in a timely manner, in retrospect I should have chosen my words more carefully,” Rearick wrote. “I want to take this opportunity to apologize to anyone I may have offended,” the superintendent added. Rearick last night said it happened after he'd tried to call the orientation meeting to order without success.

PROVIDENCE -- The city will not shut down El Tiburon, the Valley Street restaurant and bar where a leader in the Latin Kings gang was shot and killed last weekend. But the bar must hire a detail of two police officers to oversee the premises on every night it is open for the immediate future, according to a decision rendered by the city’s Board of Licenses today. The bar has been closed all week, following the shooting early Saturday of Vidal “Lucky” Rodriguez, 33, a leader in the Almighty Latin Kings Nation street gang. Rodriguez, who had stepped out of the bar to have a cigarette, was shot while standing on the sidewalk outside El Tiburon just before 1 a.m. The police had requested that the city’s Board of Licenses hold a hearing to consider revoking the bar’s license. Police have not made any arrests, and have not determined whether the killing was gang related. Today, Oscar Valverde, and his son, Steven, met with a reporter at a table inside the bar at 370 Valley St. to dispute the Police Department’s characterization of his bar as a hangout for members of the Latin Kings. The Valverdes said that Rodriguez had been in the bar for only “10 to 15 minutes,” before he was killed. They said that he used to drop in about once a month, and they did not know that he was member of a notorious street gang. -- Journal staff writer Daniel Barbarisi Posted by Mike McKinney at 5:42 PM | Comment Tiverton teachers meeting to debate work returnTIVERTON -- In another closely watched contract matter, the teachers union here will begin debating at 4:30 p.m. whether "to report to work" on Tuesday, according to a union spokesman. The union membership is slated to meet at Green Valley Country Club in Portsmouth, spokeman Patrick Crowley, deputy executive director of National Education Assocation-Rhode Island, said in a statement. Teachers did report to school this week as scheduled. Their contract is due to expire at midnight tonight. An earlier item reported incorrectly that it had expired yesterday.

Montalbano, a North Providence Democrat, is accused of improperly supporting a referendum for a casino in West Warwick at the same time he was doing legal work for the town. His lawyer, Max Wistow, says the state Ethics Commission shouldn't be allowed to prosecute the Senate president while there are unresolved questions about whether the case is constitutional. Wistow says the constitution bars lawmakers from being prosecuted based on their votes. The Ethics Commission rejects that argument. Superior Court Judge Allen Rubine has agreed to hear from both sides on Tuesday about whether the block the prosecution. -- The Associated Press Posted by Mike McKinney at 4:34 PM | Comment E. Greenwich teacher talks: Long weekend haul ahead?In East Greenwich, where schools are scheduled to open on Tuesday, mediated teacher contract talks will start again today at 5 p.m. They are expected to continue through the three-day Labor Day weekend to replace a contract that expires today. Union representatives say if a new agreement is not reached by Monday, the union is expected to vote Monday night on whether to strike or continue working without a contract. School Superintendent Charles E. Meyer says he doesn’t really have a plan in place to notify parents in the event of a last-minute decision to strike, other than possible postings on the district's Web site or via listservs. He said the School Department has been focusing its energies on trying to resolve the contract issue, which he hopes will be by Tuesday. In Exeter-West Greenwich, a mediation session will be held tomorrow. But lead negotiators are meeting now to outline proposals and discuss terms. If necessary, mediation will continue on Wednesday. School has already begun in Exeter-West Greenwich. -- Journal staff writer Lisa Vernon-Sparks Posted by Andrea Panciera at 4:20 PM | Comment Judge orders Burrillville to resume teacher talksPROVIDENCE -- A Superior Court judge today told both sides in the Burrillville teachers' contract dispute to return to collective bargaining talks over the long holiday weekend. Judge Netti C. Vogel said she would direct teachers back to work, if she deems it necessary, at 6:30 a.m. Tuesday. Her hope is that both sides would reach a resolution over the weekend so that no such last-minute decision would be necessary. Vogel made the judgment after the union's lawyer suggested the parties were closer to a contract agreement than either side had previously indicated. School Department lawyer Benjamin M. Scungio said that if Vogel orders teachers to resume work, school would start on Tuesday after a one-hour delay. The school wants to compel teachers -- who voted to strike -- to come to work. School in the district had been due to start this past Wednesday. But instead, classes were cancelled for that day, yesterday and today. The teachers' contract expires today. Between 80 and 100 teachers turned out to see the proceedings today at Superior Court in Providence, which was based on a request and complaint by the School Department. Extra: Read a copy of the school department's complaint. Teacher contract talks are also on-going in East Greenwich, Exeter-West Greenwich, Providence and Tiverton. -- projo.com staff writers Michael P. McKinney and Brandi Jefferson, with reports from Journal staff writer Mark Reynolds Exeter-West Greenwich has returned to school, while mediation continues in that district. Mediated sessions are also expected to continue through the holiday weekend for East Greenwich, where school is due to start Tuesday. The Tiverton teachers’ union filed an unfair labor practice charge against the School Committee yesterday, maintaining that the committee has bargained in bad faith by failing to send appoint a negotiator authorized to reach a tentative agreement. The teachers’ contract expired yesterday, and the union membership will meet after school today to consider its next steps. The first day of classes in Tiverton was Wednesday. Providence teachers are also negotiating a new contract, but union leaders there have said they expect schools to open next Wednesday, as scheduled. Jamestown has a tentative agreement in place that will be considered by its teachers union and School Committee on Thursday, Sept. 6. New Shoreham ratified a new three-year contract last week. North Kingstown's contract was also due to expire today, but teachers and the School Committee there ratified a new agreement earlier this summer.

Robert Viruet, 38, was arrested in August 2005 after police found a safe under his bed containing six bags of crack cocaine, one bag of powder cocaine and a loaded .25-caliber pistol. Viruet initially said a friend had paid him $200 to store the safe, but in 2006, he pleaded guilty to two charges of possession with intent to distribute and possessing a firearm in furtherance of drug trafficking.

Posted by Brandie Jefferson at 1:25 PM | Comment Update: Pursuit of robbery suspect ends in 5-car crash
PROVIDENCE -- An alleged bank robber fleeing in a stolen car crashed into cars on Broadway late this morning, sending four smashed vehicles spinning and debris flying across the road and into a nearby ballfield. The suspect, who was driving, and his passenger both ran off in different directions, but they were caught moments later by officers rushing to the scene, said Maj. Stephen Campbell. One of the men was brought to the hospital, as was a person in one of the struck cars, but neither had life-threatening injuries, Campbell said. The suspect is accused of trying to rob a young man at knifepoint at an ATM outside a nearby Citizens Bank, Campbell said. The victim got away and rushed inside the bank for help. Officer Joseph Hanley happened to be working a detail inside the bank. Hanley ran outside and saw the suspect toss a knife into the passenger side of a gray Mazda parked near the bank. Another man was in the passenger seat as the suspect jumped into the driver’s side and tried to take off, Campbell said. Hanley tried to stop him, hitting the driver with his baton and spraying him with pepper spray, but the men sped off, Campbell said. As the officer radioed in that the suspects were heading into the city on Broadway, the car smashed into other cars at Barton Street. Officers specializing in traffic reconstruction were on the scene trying to piece together how the accident occurred. One SUV with Connecticut license plates was up on the sidewalk next to the walk traffic light. The stolen car was smashed, its engine in pieces, from where it landed into the back of a red Nissan. A Mercury sedan with war veteran plates had been broadsided. -- Journal staff writer Amanda Milkovits Debris and glass from the cars was scattered across the roadway from one end to the other. Fresh blood was spattered on the sidewalk on Barton Street next to the ball field and across from the Paul Cuffee School, where children in school uniforms were lining up in the playground. Campbell said the blood was from one of the suspects, who was injured in the crash. Officers seized a black folding knife with a 4-inch blade believed to be the one used to threaten the man at the bank ATM, Campbell said. Detectives were going to review the video from the camera at the ATM, Campbell said. The names of the suspects or the robbery victim, or the person injured in the crash, were not available.

If you’re thinking this Labor Day weekend is looking like a time to get out of town, you’re not alone. AAA is estimating more than 36.5 million Americans will travel at least 50 miles from home this holiday. About 4 million will travel by air; about 1.6 million will take trains, buses or another mode of transportation. And about 84 percent of Labor Day weekend travelers – nearly 29 million – will be driving. They may be pleased to find that, according to AAA, regular gas -- at about $2.67 in the Providence metro area -- is about 25 cents cheaper than it was going into the Labor Day weekend last year. Compare prices throughout the past year at AAA's Daily Fuel Gauge Report. If you plan on staying in town, remember RIPTA buses and trolleys will be operating on a holiday schedule. Flex service will be suspended, except for the Kingston/URI line, which will be on a holiday schedule. The RIde program will continue to run uninterrupted. When the weekend is over, and the buses resume a regular schedule, it will be the new fall schedule, which is different for about a half dozen bus routes and adds service on Route 57 to the new Park n’ Ride lot in North Providence.

The FBI says four more threats forced evacuations at stores in northeastern Ohio early today. The threats were phoned in to a Wal-Mart and three Giant Eagle grocery stores. They were all temporarily evacuated, but each reopened within three hours after being searched by police. The FBI says it thinks all of the threats are coming from the same individual or group. Authorities are investigating bomb threats at least 15 stores in more than a dozen states, including one at a Wal-Mart in Newport. Authorities say the threats appear to be coming from overseas. -- The Associated Press Posted by Mike McKinney at 12:25 PM | Comment DEM warns of potential for fish die-offThe state Department of Environmental Management warned today that a large school of menhaden, chased into the Blackstone River by predatory fish, may be at risk. An estimated one million to two million menhaden -- many of them juveniles -- were spotted late yesterday and early this morning in the river near Slater Dam. Menhaden contribute to Narragansett Bay's health and to the economy: They are bait fish for the lobster fishery and are used to attract striped bass, among other things. DEM biologists in the fish and wildlfie division are monitoring the situation. In July, the DEM carried out emergency rules to control harvesting of menhaden to preserve the menhaden stocks. Adult menhaden are typically in Narragansett Bay from May through September, but juveniles remain throughout the year. -- projo.com staff writer Michael P. McKinney DEM said its fish monitors noted large numbers of menhaden being chased into the less salty waters of the Providence and Blackstone rivers by bluefish, which can tolerate fresh water. DEM says that if someone sees a fish die-off, the DEM's law enforcement division should be contacted at 222-3070.

Between 80 and 100 teachers turned out to observe the proceedings at Superior Court in Providence. “I plan on continuing with the matter from day to day until that hearing is complete,” Vogel said. -- projo.com staff writer Brandie M. Jefferson, with reports from Journal writer Mark Reynolds Teacher contracts are also expiring today in East Greenwich, Exeter-West Greenwich, Providence and Tiverton. Exeter-West Greenwich has returned to school, while mediation continues in that district. Mediated sessions are also expected to continue through the holiday weekend for East Greenwich, where school is due to start Tuesday. The Tiverton teachers’ union filed an unfair labor practice charge against the School Committee yesterday, maintaining that the committee has bargained in bad faith by failing to send appoint a negotiator authorized to reach a tentative agreement.

Posted by Brandie Jefferson at 9:18 AM | Comment "Close to identifying suspect" in bomb threatsPROVIDENCE – Federal authorities say the caller or callers who have threatened more than a dozen stores in the past week asked that money to be wired to Portugal. Although the FBI said the investigation is focused overseas, a spokesman has declined to elaborate or say whether or not an arrest was imminent yesterday. But FBI spokesman Rich Kolko said the Bureau is close to identifying one or more suspects who have called more than 15 large stores or banks, including a Wal-Mart in Newport, in the past week and threatened to blow up workers with a bomb unless they wired money. “We certainly have some good leads,” Kolko said. “We’re close to identifying somebody who may be responsible.” One man has been charged Hutchinson, Kan.in connection with an incident Wednesday that police determined to be a copycat crime. -- The Associated Press The FBI has not said how much money was wired to the caller from the Hutchinson store on Tuesday, but police in Newport said workers at a Wal-Mart were so frightened by a bomb threat on Tuesday that they wired $10,000 to the caller. Large grocery and discount stores as well as banks in roughly a dozen states have received calls from an unidentified man who is able to provide such specific details that employees believe he is inside or somehow watching them. On Thursday evening, the FBI provided an updated list of stores and banks believed to be traceable to the same suspect or group of suspects. The bureau is also investigating whether other reported threats are connected. The FBI list includes: a credit union in Albuquerque, N.M.; a Safeway store in Sandy, Ore.,; a grocery store in Buchanan, Mich.; Wal-Marts in Newport, R.I., and Rio Grande City, Texas; bank branches at Wal-Marts in Salem, Va., and Fairlawn, Va.; a Macey's grocery store in Orem, Utah; a Dillons grocery store in Hutchinson, Kan., a bank branch in Milford, Conn.; a Vons in Vista, Calif., near San Diego; a bank in Savannah, Mo.; a bank in Ithaca, N.Y.; and banks in Tampa and Wesley Chapel, Fla. Authorities in Buchanan, Mich., had earlier said workers at a Harding's Market sent $3,000 to an account in Portugal. But on Thursday, Police Chief William Marx said flustered store employees made a mistake and the money was sent to Paraguay rather than Portugal, as the caller had demanded. "They got their p's messed up," Marx said. Posted by Brandie Jefferson at 7:52 AM | Comment MegaMillions jackpot is up to $330 millionDidn't win the PowerBall? You're not alone.
