The passing of a well-known sports reporter and an earthquake topped this week's most-read stories.
The big news in Smithfield this week included the passing of Peter J. Connell, a longtime reporter for the Observer and the Valley Breeze, and an earthquake in Maine that shocked some folks down here in Rhode Island.
Our poll on the second Presidential debate, a no-news-is-good-news story about the Smithfield High School homecoming dance, and Friday's tour of the soon-to-be-reopened Stillwater Viaduct also topped the charts this week.
