5 THINGS: Marathon Aftermath and Other Coverage

Here are the (more than) Five Things for Tuesday, April 16, 2013:

South County residents accounted for in the aftermath in the Boston Marathon. At least when it comes to the six residents of Wakefield, Narragansett and Saunderstown who registered for the marathon, and their family members who went to watch, we’ve heard either firsthand from them or friends that they are all safe.

Newport woman remains in critical condition. This is as of late Monday night. We do have the name of the woman, but are not running it until a full notification of family members can be made, because of the severity of her injuries.

For more information from Patch, click here. Our Back Bay, MA site will be our “hub” for Massachusetts coverage of the Boston Marathon 2013 aftermath. At Narragansett-South Kingstown Patch, we will pick up and run articles when relevant – such as the piece we ran today about how to talk to your children about the marathon incident – but otherwise our story load will resemble more of a normal day. So with that in mind…

Mmm, delicious vegetables and produce! Goose Pond Farm of West Kingston is offering community supported agriculture accounts from this season to Dec. 31. For more info, click here.

Has the time or date or details of one of your events changed? If you posted the event yourself on our site, then remember – You can always change the details if you’re logged into your Patch account. Failing that, leave a comment on the item in question! The issue is that lately, people have been e-mailing me, and depending on the time of the day, it can take me anywhere from 30 minutes or 30 hours to get to the item, unfortunately. As a result, I encourage you all to be as proactive as possible!

Oh no! Maybe there seriously aren’t that many events today, given that it’s World Voice Day. As a result, our events calendar for today is a bit barren. If you’re having an event, please let us know in the comments. Also, make sure it isn’t left out in the future – Submit it via this link (as long as you’re logged into your Patch account).

Sign up for our daily newsletter! Hey, I realize we have a lot of neat features and knick-knacks on the site, so it can be confusing to keep up with it all. Want just one simple, easy to read daily digest? Sign up for our e-mail newsletter here then. It comes out between 6 a.m. and 7 a.m. roughly, every single day of the week. Amazing, I know.

To be honest, we could use him right now. On this day in 1962, Walter Cronkite took over as the lead anchor of The CBS Evening News.
