Week In Review: Turbine, Audit, Score, Wreck

Turbine: If you noticed a rather large truck rolling through town and wondered why, we have your answer: An oversized load of wind turbine parts traveled over Johnston roads on its way to I-295.

Fundraisers: We reported on Tuesday that two fundraising efforts to help the Dorego children netted $13,000 as of this week, with more expected in the next few weeks.

Audit: At Monday night's town council meeting, auditor Bob Civetti announced that Johnston finished fiscal 2011 in good shape — better, in fact, than most neighboring communities.

Score: It's only happened seven times in the history of Johnston High School, and we were there as Ryan Anderson achieved the 1,000-point milestone for his varsity high school basketball career.

Wreck: Did you find yourself in a traffic jam on Wednesday afternoon? Here's why — a car apparently struck the back of a bus carrying high school students.

Sentence: Thursday afternoon, accused murderer Donald Greenslit appeared in court for bail and probation violation hearings. He was ordered held without bail and sentenced to nine months in prison for violating terms of his probation from Nov. 3, 2011.
