Health warning for those who attended Jan. 29 funeral at Watson Funeral Home
The Rhode Island Department of Health is warning those who attended a January funeral that they may have come into contact with a person carrying a case of Neisseria Meningococcermia.

Symposium turns Savannah's attention to the future
This week's "Creating a Sustainable Future" symposium opens today with the 6:30 p.m. screening of "Kilowatt Ours" at Abercorn Common, the shopping center at White Bluff Road and Abercorn Street. The showing will be inside retail space next to Grand Harbour Imports at Abercorn Common Fountain. The conference, which features thought-provoking events every day this week, is part of Savannah Country Day School's Creative Minds series. I love events - like the lecture late last year by Richard Florida - that focus our thinking so sharply on the future. It's a nice antidote to the way Savannah so often seems mired in the past. But what will come of such symposia and lectures? Is Savannah really a place for breaking new ground and having a national impact? History suggests the answer is yes.
