Despite the weather, hundreds turned out for Warren Fire and Rescue Staion 5's clambake.
In a competition of largest clambake in the Warren Fire Department, Warren Fire and Rescue Station 5 would win time and time again. Despite Sunday's inclement weather, hundreds showed up for the station's clambake at Pete Sepe Pavilion. Torrential downpours and gusty winds rocked the tents, but the spirit of the volunteers and attendees was not deterred. "It doesn't seem that the weather has affected turnout," Captain Scott Little of Engine No. 5 said.

"I worked with Al, I liked Al" Sharon explained, citing her work on the Recreation Board under Sweet, which lasted about four years. The decision to appoint Sharon Lombardo, made at a March 8, Warren Town Hall meeting, has not been one without discussion -- not because Lombardo is unqualified, but because the man she is succeeding. Sweet is a beloved figure in town who held the position for over 30 years, and had worked with the parks and recreation department since 1967, when he took a job …
