Why Plunge When You Can Cannonball, Jackknife, or Why Plunge When You Can Cannonball, Jackknife, or Cartwheel Your Way into Newport Harbor for the New Year! DJ Bells provided encouragement, the Kilroy family delivered the perfect venue, and Frankie Silvia lined up contestants on the patio of @lobsterbarnewport before their jumps into frosty Newport Harbor on January 1, all to benefit the Bonrock Foundation. Safety was never a question with the capable Gunning family on hand. Don Gunning, who owns Marine Safety Services, coordinated the timing of the jumps, ensuring each shivering swimmer safely passed by his crew, which included sons Conner, a safety diver; Garrett, an EMT; and Danny, a pararescueman in the U.S. Air Force. Also in the water was retired Newport Police officer and safety diver Jeff Clarke. Keeping a watchful eye from the dock was the lovely nurse Lisa Gunning. The weather was cool but sunny. Patrick Kilroy credited his mother, Bonnie, for the favorable conditions. The event is named for the beloved matriarch who purchased The Landing in 1979 and The Lobster Bar in 2012. Mrs. Kilroy supported many area youth. Her children created The Bonrock Foundation to honor her legacy. Funds from the event will provide scholarships, sporting equipment, school supplies, and anything else that will “ignite the passions” of local kids. Participants paid to plunge off the dock or ham it up for the main event: the cannonball competition, which was live-streamed online and in The Lobster Bar for VIPs like Angie & Bobby Johnson, Brian Stout, and PJ Catledge. Getting the party started this year was Newport Mayor Charlie Holder, who made a sizable splash with his cannonball. There were newcomers and those returning for the second year, like Nephi DePalma, Luke Devine, and Joe Dumas. Capping off the 35 cannonballers were DJ Bells and Patrick Kilroy, who took the final two leaps into the harbor to thunderous applause. It’s not too late to support the effort—donations are being accepted at bonrockfoundation.org. #newportri #polarplunge #newportbuzz #happynewyear #scenesofnewengland
A juvenile humpback whale was found dead on Richmo A juvenile humpback whale was found dead on Richmond Pond Beach in Westport, MA on New Year’s Day, marking the latest in a troubling series of whale strandings along the Eastern Seaboard. The discovery of the whale brings the count of deceased whales washing ashore to 13 in the past 31 days, a stark statistic that has sounded major alarm bells. Authorities have yet to determine the cause of death for the young humpback. Necropsies and investigations into the previous strandings are ongoing. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has documented an increase in humpback whale deaths along the East Coast in recent years, categorizing the trend as an Unusual Mortality Event. Scientists stress the need for continued monitoring and research to better understand the causes of these incidents and to develop strategies to mitigate risks to the species. As officials worked to assess the situation in Westport, the sight of the stranded whale served as a somber reminder of the fragility of marine ecosystems and the growing challenges they face. #westportma #newportbuzz #humpbackwhale #deadwhale #whales #scenesofnewengland

Nick Schorsch’s Audrain Heritage Restaurant/Hote Nick Schorsch’s Audrain Heritage Restaurant/Hotel Group has made another big move in Newport, announcing the acquisition of The Vanderbilt Hotel on Mary Street. The sale, announced via a quiet news dump to the Providence Journal on New Year’s Eve, adds to Audrain’s already extensive list of local properties. Schorsch, who moved from New York City to Newport about 12 years ago, has steadily built a substantial presence in town. His group’s holdings include La Forge Restaurant, Brick Alley Pub, Newport Craft Beer, The Red Parrot, Flo’s Clam Shacks, Audrain Automobile Museum, Audrain Motorsport, Audrain Park Place, Audrain Hospitality, La Costa Lobster and Tacos, Wally Weiners, Newport Lobster Company, Hilltop Inn, the Cluck House, the Cluck Truck, Amano Pizza, Newport Life Magazine, The Reef, Caleb & Broad, and the food concessions at Easton’s Beach. Some residents and business owners are beginning to question just how much one group should own. With so many Newport staples now under the Audrain umbrella, concerns are growing about whether the city’s character and local economy are becoming too closely tied to one entity. Many are left wondering what Audrain’s next move will be. Could it be a mansion on Bellevue Avenue for private events? Stay tuned, because in Schorsch’s Newport, there’s always another deal around the corner. #audrain #newportri #newportbuzz #vanderbilthotel #rhodeisland
