« February 29, 2008 | Today | March 4, 2008 » March 3, 2008Presidential primary coverage on projo.comProjo.com will be on the job throughout the day Tuesday and into the night as Rhode Islanders go to the polls for what may become a historic presidential primary for the nation's smallest state. We'll be posting information about what's happening at some of the polls around the state, especially as local canvassers cope with fewer polling places and predicted longer lines. At any time, voters can find information about where their polling places are, either through an online search or by checking lists by town. They can also look back at Journal and projo.com coverage on the campaigns, including stories, audio reports and more, and take surveys on the election. You can find all of this information on our main Politics page. We'll also offer key resources and latest news via our home page; and in our 7to7 news and politics blogs. Shortly after the polls close statewide at 9 p.m., projo.com will have results directly from the state Board of Elections, which we expect will be updated every 15 minutes. You can check results by primary race, by town and by poll. We'll also have early news reports on the R.I. primary from projo.com and Journal staff, as well as full coverage of the three other key primaries tomorrow via the Associated Press. And you'll have a chance to react to the results as they develop, via surveys and bulletin board.

Jefferson Posted by Brandie Jefferson at 6:58 PM | Comment Update: Fire victim remains criticalPROVIDENCE — A man who was critically burned in a house fire in Smith Hill late yesterday afternoon had been drinking alcohol and was smoking in bed when the fire began, the city fire marshal says. “Whether he fell asleep smoking, or he just didn’t realize he had dropped” his lit cigarette, an investigation shows that the cigarette caused the mattress of his bed to catch fire, according to Fire Marshal Anthony DiGiulio. The victim, Rainer Randell, 41, is in critical condition in the intensive care unit at Rhode Island Hospital, according to DiGiulio, suffering from second- and third-degree burns over 50 percent of his body. Randell is deaf, but there is no evidence that his impairment was a factor in the incident because there were no working smoke or carbon monoxide detectors in the house at 132 Ruggles St., DiGiulio said. “When the fire trucks arrived, that room was heavily engulfed in flame,” DiGiulio said. -- Journal staff writer Gregory Smith Posted by Brandie Jefferson at 6:35 PM | Comment Woonsocket man indicted in 2006 crash that left 3 deadA 22-year-old Woonsocket man who told rescue officials that he was a passenger in a car that crashed, killing three people, has been indicted on seven counts, including three of driving under the influence, death resulting. Patrick Coyle was free on an eight-year suspended sentence for a drug conviction at the time of the accident, in October 2006. A judge sentenced him in December to serve the full eight-year sentence. Coyle was indicted Friday. He is charged with driving under the influence, death resulting; operating in reckless disregard of the safety of others, death resulting; and driving with a suspended license. He is scheduled to be arraigned in Providence County Superior Court on March 26, 2008. -- projo.com staff writer Brandie M. Jefferson, with Journal archive reports State Trooper John Gadrow said a white Cadillac sedan went through the intersection of Harris Avenue and Winter Street, near the entrance of Cold Spring Park. It drove through the park’s wrought-iron fence, traveling about 60 feet through the air, then struck a tree and landed on its roof. Gadrow said the car was traveling more than 60 mph in the 25-mph zone. Fire and rescue workers at the scene said they saw Coyle sitting upside down in the driver’s seat, then crawling out of the driver’s side window. Rescue personnel say Coyle told them he was in the rear passenger seat at the time of the accident. After he was arrested, he told investigators that he could not remember who had been driving. When ordering Coyle to serve his suspended sentence, Superior Court Judge Gilbert V. Indeglia said there was “no doubt” that Coyle was driving at the time of the accident. “There’s no way that anybody could have ever crawled around the vehicle, in the condition it was in, upside down,” he said. Posted by Brandie Jefferson at 5:50 PM | Comment Cranston woman indicted in death of baby's fatherA 21-year-old Cranston woman has been indicted on one count of murder in the death of the father of their child. Prosecutors allege Misty Ospina killed 22-year-old Richard Gibson, of Pawtucket, on Feb. 1 after the two got into an argument. The indictment by a Providence County grand jury was handed up Friday and announced today. According to Pawtucket Police, Ospina went to Gibson’s house at around 8:45 a.m. on that day to drop off the then-8-month-old baby. Pawtucket Police Maj. John Whiting says Ospina told police that she and Gibson got into an argument, and that he punched and choked her. Police say they did not see any markings on Ospina consistent with being struck. Ospina allegedly grabbed a kitchen knife and stabbed Gibson once; he was pronounced dead just after 10 a.m. that day at Memorial Hospital Rhode Island. Gibson, his girlfriend and the baby were in the room when the stabbing took place, according to prosecutors. Ospina is set to be arraigned in Providence County Superior Court on March 26. Pawtucket residents have used Gibson's death to promote awareness of domestic violence toward men. -- projo.com staff writer Brandie M. Jefferson, with Journal archive reports
Posted by Brandie Jefferson at 5:19 PM | Comment 'Cat in the Hat' comes back; what do you think of that?
Started over a decade ago as a way to help get kids excited about reading, Read Across America Day is celebrated each year to coincide with the anniversary of the birth of Theodor “Ted” Geisel, better known to readers as Dr. Seuss. Children were asked to dress in red, white and black and wear their favorite Dr. Suess hat -- like his "Cat in the Hat." In Washington, the U.S. Senate passed U.S. Sen. Jack Reed’s resolution designating today as “Read Across America Day.” The Rhode Island Democrat’s resolution encourages parents to read with their children and honors Theodor Geisel for his success in making reading fun for kids. Posted by Andrea Panciera at 5:10 PM | Comment Man killed in Exeter crash identifiedThe state police have identified the man who was killed in a single car accident early Sunday morning. Manuel G. Lopes, 37, of Norwich, Conn., was found after a caller notified the state police of a Toyota Camry that had crashed on the side of Route 165/ Ten Rod Road, in Exeter. State police Cpl. John Keenan said when troopers from the Hope Valley Barracks responded, they found the car against a tree, near the intersection of Summit Road. After the subsequent investigation, the police say Lopes was heading west on Ten Rod Road and lost control about 900 feet west of the Summit Road intersection. The car veered off the road, partially rolled over, and then struck a tree. The car then came to a rest right-side up. When rescue arrived, they found Lopes partially ejected; he was pronounced dead on the scene. It’s not clear if he was wearing a seat belt. Keenan said there were no witnesses, and there is no indication that alcohol was involved. -- projo.com staff writer Brandie M. Jefferson, with reports from Journal staff writer Randal Edgar Posted by Brandie Jefferson at 4:38 PM | Comment Proposals would toughen graduation requirementsProposed changes that would make high school graduation requirements more rigorous will be up for discussion this week at two public hearings. The state Department of Education is proposing three ways to ensure that a high school diploma in Rhode Island genuinely reflects that a student has mastered new material and skills and is ready to graduate: - Passing a minimum of 20 rigorous courses that align with grade-level expectations developed by the state Department of Education. - Taking statewide tests given junior year in English and math. - Completing two out of the following three: a portfolio, a senior project or end-of-course exams. Public hearings are scheduled for 5 p.m. tomorrow at Toll Gate High School, Warwick; and 5 p.m. Thursday at the Shepard Building, 80 Washington St., Providence. -- with reports from Journal staff writer Jennifer Jordan The meetings, set for tomorrow and Thursday, come a week after the release of Rhode Island students' dismal scores in the New England Common Assessment Program. One of the proposed changes would require that the standardized test scores appear on a student’s official high school transcript, enabling colleges to view the results. Another proposed change would somehow incorporate standardized test scores into a student’s grade. All of the proposed changes are on the Rhode Island Department of Elementary and Secondary Education Web site under Board of Regents/Regents Regulations. Once the Regents have received feedback and refined the proposal, they plan to vote on the changes this spring.

James Taylor, chief of communications for the Providence Fire Department, said a car "tipped over" in the middle lane of the northbound side of the roadway at Union Avenue. It's not immediately clear what caused the accident. Rescue crews are transporting two passengers to the hospital, and traffic is backed up in both directions. The names of those involved in the accident have not been released.

Jefferson Posted by Brandie Jefferson at 3:35 PM | Comment Update: URI students return to class after bomb threatStudents have been allowed to return to class this afternoon, about 3 hours after a report of a possible bomb threat led to a building's evacuation. Independence Hall was evacuated and part of Upper College Road was closed late this morning after caller said she thought she overheard a threat. Linda Acciardo, spokeswoman for the University, said that just after 11 this morning, a woman called the URI police dispatch center concerned about a conversation between two men that she heard at a nearby coffee shop. Acciardo said the caller told police she heard something about a bomb at Independence Hall within the next two hours. The caller identified herself as a student and left a phone number, but police have not been able to reach her. Acciardo said the caller gave dispatchers a "partial identification" of the two men, including what they were wearing. The State Fire Marshal Bomb Squad did a room by room search before allowing faculty and students back into the area. People had been advised to clear the area, and Upper College Road was closed from Briar Lane to Fortin Road was temporarily blocked. Edwards Hall, an auditorium next door, was also evacuated, although there were no classes at the time. Independence Hall is the University's largest classroom building, and is home to the English, language and film studies departments. -- projo.com staff writer Brandie M. Jefferson, with reports from Journal staff writer Randal Edgar Posted by Brandie Jefferson at 3:35 PM | Comment Company selling unapproved drug gets stiff finePROVIDENCE -- A federal judge has imposed $1 million in penalties on a Florida-based pharmaceutical company and its president, who pleaded guilty in November to charges of carrying out a misleading marketing campaign for what had been billed as an erectile-dysfunction drug but was unapproved by federal regulators. White Broadman, Inc., was fined $794,334 for misleading marketing of the unapproved drug and the company and president James Mienik forfeited $205,000, U.S. Attorney Robert Clark Corrente announced today. U.S. District Court Judge Mary M. Lisi imposed the penalties on Feb. 29. Mienik and Paul Romano, a part owner of the company, admitted to misdemeanor charges of introducing a drug that had been misbranded. White Broadman, through lawyer Anthony Traini of Providence, pleaded guilty to a felony of introducing through interstate commerce a new drug that did not have U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval. Prosecutor Terrence P. Donnelly said at the plea hearing that the government could prove that from 2001 until 2004 the company engaged in a direct mail marketing campaign for an over-the-counter drug called variously “Penetrex” and “Penetrin.” White Broadman sent out mass mailings promoting the drug. The solicitations gave an East Greenwich address, "but that was merely a mail drop, and the company did not have any facilities or operations in Rhode Island," the U.S. Attorney's office news release said. The owners sold more than $4 million worth of what was said to be ab erectile dysfunction drug. The defendants had orders that customers mailed to the East Greenwich address forwarded to Florida company offices. The federal prosecution said the solicitation misled in that: * R.T. Edwards, identified as White Broadman’s “director of research and development,” doesn't exist. * The solicitation included a photograph, which purported to be of White Broadman’s urological science laboratories in East Greenwich, which was in fact a picture of a University of Florida campus building in Gainesville. * The solicitation gave fictitious customers’ experiences, contained fabricated “attending physician’s diagnosis & treatment recommendations,” and claimed clinical tests that were never done. -- projo.com staff writer Michael P. McKinney, with Journal archival reports Posted by Mike McKinney at 3:30 PM | Comment Citizens Financial Group names new CEOCitizens Financial Group has appointed Ellen Alemany as its chief executive officer, a position held by Lawrence K. Fish from 1992 until last March. Alemany already held the title of CEO of RBS America, a new organizational unit at the Royal Bank of Scotland that oversees all of the bank's U.S.-based divisions. Alemany replaces Stephen D. Steinour, a longtime Fish deputy who served as Citizens' president and CEO for less than a year. In a statement, Citizens said Steinour had made a "personal decision" to "spend more time with his family." Alemany has named James G. Connolly as Citizens' new president. Connolly had served as vice chairman of commercial markets. Last year, operating profit at Citizens dropped 9 percent, to $2.65 billion, The Providence Journal reported. Net income was down 16 percent after the conversion to British pounds. In announcing its 2007 earnings, RBS said the slowing U.S. economy was hurting the growth of Providence-based Citizens. "Against a weaker economic backdrop in the U.S., Citizens, whilst performing well relative to its peers, experienced testing conditions," RBS said in its earnings report. In December, Fish told employees that he had given up his remaining operational responsibilities for the Royal Bank, The Providence Journal reported.

Gedan at 2:27 PM | Comment Mail-in ballots making more work for this primaryWith at least three times as many ballots coming in by mail for this presidential primary than in years past, the state Board of Elections has its work cut out for it today and tomorrow. Robert Kando, the executive director of the elections board,, said that this year, the board is set to begin certifying ballots at 3:30 p.m. today. Often, Kando said, certifying ballots -- that is, making sure they are valid -- doesn’t begin until the day of the primary. But, he said he estimates that so far there are “probably about three times as many … maybe four, but at least three times as many” mail-in ballots than previous primary elections. The mail-in ballots come, for example, from servicemen and servicewomen, residents living or working overseas, out-of-state students and people with medical issues that make it difficult to get to the polls. Secretary of State A. Ralph Mollis said his office is predicting that overall, as many as twice the number of people will turn out to vote in this election than did for the 2000 presidential primary Kando said at the earliest, results will begin coming in at 9:15 p.m. Results will be available online, where they are expected to be updated every 15 minutes. “We hope to have everything done by midnight,” he said. If counting isn’t finished by midnight, including mail-in ballots, he said, they’ll likely keep going: Projo.com will carry the results from the Board of Elections on its home page and on projo.com/politics. A section of the Elections Board Web site is also set up to show the mail-in ballot count alone. -- projo.com staff writer Brandie M. Jefferson Posted by Brandie Jefferson at 1:19 PM | Comment Woonsocket police chief retiresWOONSOCKET -- Police Chief Michael Houle will retire April 13, saying in a letter that he has "attempted to make many positive changes" while chief, but he cannot continue in the job without weighing the effects "negative publicity" has had on his family. Houle intends to use accrued time until April 13, according to a media advisory about the retirement from Mayor Susan D. Menard. Deputy Chief Richard Dubois will in the interim oversee police department daily operations until further notice. Houle has had a difficult relationship with the police union and the department has faced several problems during his tenure, which started in 2005. In December, the union, Local 404, gave Houle a vote of no confidence. After the vote, Sgt. John Scully, the union president, said that police officers were concerned with what they considered Houle’s lack of communication with command staff, rash decisions and favoritism. “During my time as chief, I made myself available to the general public as no previous police chief has and have attempted to make many positive changes bridging a needed relationship with the general public," Houle's resignation letter says, according to the press advisory. "My credibility as chief and attempts to make positive changes in the police department continue to be stonewalled and challenged. "This is due to misleading and false information being provided to the media, and a lack of support by various people who have chosen to become involved and interfere in the day to day operations of the Woonsocket Police Department." -- projo.com staff writer Michael P. McKinney with archival reports Houle's relationship with the union hasn't been the department's only trouble spot. During the past year, various Woonsocket police officers have been accused of misconduct. Last spring, Houle was suspended for improperly destroying drug-case evidence. After that, an officer was charged with computer tampering, and a captain and lieutenant suspended for their involvement in the investigation of the case won their case in court. In November, five officers were suspended after a woman who spent the night in the lockup was able to smuggle a gun into her cell. In January, a man hanged himself in a jail cell at police headquarters. Last week, a police officer alleged that the chief and deputy chief changed test results and corrected a test in-house to change the rankings of police recruits. Houle has served with the Woonosocket Police Department for more than 29 years, according his retirement letter. In 2003, he was promoted to deputy chief. He became police chief in 2005 when William J. Shea abruptly resigned. In his letter to Menard, Houle wrote, "Your support, understanding, and confidence as mayor and public safety director have allowed me to continue moving forward with the police department for which I will always be grateful. Additionally, your continued support allowed many changes that otherwise would not have occurred." Houle said he's chosen to retire "in the best interest of myself, my family, and the Woonsocket Police Department in a hope that the police department will recover from its own internal dissension." Menard stated that she will start the selection process for a new chief, per ordinance. Posted by Mike McKinney at 1:13 PM | Comment Reverend Holt to step down as Red Cross CEOThe Rev. John E. Holt will leave his job as chief executive officer of the American Red Cross's Rhode Island chapter effective July 1, the Red Cross announced today. Mr. Holt will return to the ministry, becoming pastor of Osterville United Methodist Church in Cape Cod, Mass. Mr. Holt served for several years as executive minister of the Rhode Island State Council of Churches before joining the American Red Cross. “It has been an honor to serve as CEO of the American Red Cross Rhode Island Chapter,” Mr. Holt said in the statement. “Every day, I am amazed to witness the way our dedicated volunteers and staff assist Rhode Islanders in crisis. It has also been gratifying to see how much the corporate community, government, philanthropic organizations and the citizens of our state value our service. Mr. Holt said the ministry is his "first calling" and that "when my bishop offered me the opportunity to return to the parish, I gladly accepted." Terry Schwennesen, who leads the Rhode Island Red Cross' board, stated: “We are grateful for John’s outstanding leadership and dedication to the chapter’s mission to prevent, prepare for and respond to emergencies in Rhode Island. In just two years, John has increased the chapter’s ability to respond to a large scale emergency in Rhode Island and has forged strong partnerships that we hope will remain in effect long after his departure. -- projo.com staff writer Michael P.

Bray visited Rhode Island Army and Air National Guard members from Feb. 17 to 22. He spent time in Baghdad with members of C Battery, 1st Battalion, 103 Field Artillery Brigade. There, he was joined by Command Sgt. Maj. Richard Lafond of the 1st Battalion, 103rd Field Artillery Brigade, Rhode Island National Guard. “The opportunity to visit our deployed soldiers and airmen and to see the great work they are doing and hear accolades about their contributions from their chains of command, only served to validate what we all know about our courageous Rhode Island National Guard members," Bray said in the statement. “Clearly, the rebuilding of Iraq is well on its way," Bray said, adding that the missions of the Rhode Island units are playing "a large role in normalizing the life in each of their areas of operation. All Rhode Islanders should be proud of the work these modern day Minutemen are accomplishing." In all, 388 Rhode Island Guardsmen are deployed for Operations Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom, the Guard said. -- projo.com staff writer Michael P.

While in Baghdad, the group received briefing from various officials at Multi National Force-Iraq Headquarters and U.S. Army Central Command headquarters. The group also visited troops serving in the Baghdad area and spent an evening dining with them after seeing their compound and learning about their mission, the news release said. Travel restrictions prevented the group from visiting Rhode Island Army National Guard’s 169th Military Police Company serving in the Ar Ramadi area, the Guard release said.

The trial is slated to resume tomorrow in Providence County Superior Court with state police Sgt. Donald Devine expected to resume testimony in the state's case against the tribal members.

But at least one lawmaker believes that's too late. Rep. John Patrick Shanley of South Kingstown has filed a bill calling for an earlier, 8 p.m. closing time for Ocean State polling places in the future. Shanley says the earlier closing time would make for a shorter day for poll workers and also ease the burden on canvassers who must collect and tally the statewide votes. Shanley also says voters would benefit by knowing the results of the election a bit earlier in the evening.
