What's Your Pick? Check out what's playing at the Rustic Tri-Vue Drive-In, and select from three great double-headers. This weekend's schedule includes Smurfs, a fake family helping a drug dealer, and a teen demigod.
Swing and Sway: If you're in the mood for some indoor entertainment — not to mention tasty food — travel a little further up Rte. 146 and check out one of the shows at Chan's in Woonsocket. Jazz, blues, and soul are on the menu.

More Staffing: Looks as though the Smithfield School Department will get most of the money that the town council had held back to await an upcoming performance audit — councilors voted Tuesday night to give the school district $300,000 in November. That will allow the hiring of new teachers and support staff at Smithfield High School, according to Supt. Robert O'Brien.
