Our Hidden History: RI's little-known role in the Underground Railroad


By Russell J. DeSimone
Russell J. DeSimone is an independent historian in Middletown, co-author of Remarkable Women of Rhode Island, and author of a forthcoming book on elections in the state in the 18th and 19th centuries. Contact him at RussBook1@cox.net.
In the lead-up to the Civil War, the Fugitive Slave Law of 1850 made it a crime punishable with a fine ($1,000) and a jail sentence (six months) for anyone helping an enslaved person to escape. Yet in Rhode Island and elsewhere throughout the North, people helped fugitives find a way to Canada and freedom.
This Underground Railroad was by its nature secretive, so we know little of the “conductors” or the “stations.” The stations would harbor, feed and clothe an escapee before a conductor helped him or her to the next safe place. ....

Hopkinton council continues to wrestle with solar zoning ordinance changes


HOPKINTON —Members of the Town Council had a lengthy discussion at a Dec. 14 workshop of a proposal to amend the town’s zoning ordinance as it pertains to applications for solar energy projects.
The changes, first discussed at the Dec. 7 council meeting, were deemed sufficiently complicated as to require at least one workshop to allow councilors and members of the public to ask questions.
The proposal was submitted by attorney Peter Skwirz on behalf of his clients, Tom and Cynthia Sculco, owners of a property that abuts the sites of two proposed solar energy facilities.
“They are in the abutter radius of a couple of projects, some of the larger projects in town,” Skwirz said. “I won’t mention them by name because this ordinance is not aimed at those projects specifically, but that’s how they became involved — concerned citizens.” ....
