"Providence Phoenix to close after 36 years" by Dan Adams | Globe Correspondent   October 09, 2014

The Providence Phoenix will cease publication, publisher Stephen Mindich said Thursday, ending a 36-year run for the alt-weekly.

Sadly, after making massive budgetary adjustments in order to trim the costs of operations to a level where we could at least financially break-even, while also ensuring we could keep the paper’s editorial quality at the exceptional level we all demanded, the raw reality of continued losses month after month finally had to be confronted,” Mindich said in a statement to the paper’s staff.

A farewell issue dated October 17 will be the paper’s last, and will include features on its history along with comments from former writers and editors.

The Providence Phoenix’s demise follows the March 2013 shuttering of the Boston Phoenix. Both papers cited shrinking advertising revenue and increasing costs in deciding to close....

It's a trend with new$papers, and the only reason can be too many lies for far too long. Too much agenda-pu$hing garbage that continues up to the present day. That's why.

"Donna Prue, the mother of a part-time snowplow driver charged with killing a popular St. Johnsbury teacher after luring her from her home with a ruse about a disabled car, testified Thursday her son’s wife accompanied him almost every time he left their Waterford mobile home."

"Man gets prison for molesting Rhode Island girl" by Michelle R. Smith | Associated Press   October 10, 2014

PROVIDENCE — A New Jersey man was sentenced Thursday to more than seven years in prison for traveling to Rhode Island to meet a 13-year-old girl, then taking her back to his home and sexually molesting her.

US District Judge Mary Lisi sentenced Daniel Berger, 28, of Haskell, to seven years, three months in prison, followed by 15 years of supervised release. He must also register as a sex offender and submit to treatment and other conditions. Berger pleaded guilty in July to a charge of travel with intent to engage in illicit sexual conduct.

Berger, then 27, met the girl online in 2013 and drove to her home in Portsmouth that July. Her mother told the judge he camped outside their home and waited for her to leave, then got her daughter. The girl’s disappearance prompted a Rhode Island Amber Alert. She was found by authorities at Berger’s apartment at 1 a.m. the following day.

‘‘My daughter was a child. Not anymore. He robbed her of her innocence,’’ the girl’s mother told the judge before sentencing. ‘‘She has anxiety filled days and sleepless nights.’’
