The Rhode Island Blood Center will be holding a blood drive at South Kingstown High School Thursday October 20, after school from 2:10 to 7:00 p.m. in the cafeteria.

The RI Blood Center says that for every pint of blood donated three lives can be saved.

“It’s a good cause, I would probably do it,” says sophomore Kenny Vetter.

Students who want to donate must be at least 16 years old and in good health. Also, 16 year olds must weigh at least 130 pounds and have a permission slip signed by a legal guardian in order to participate.

Students who are 17 and older do not have to have a permission slip to participate, but they do have to be in good health and weigh at least 110 pounds to donate.

Even if one is on medication, they can still donate, just tell the RI Blood Center represenative at the blood drive.

Most health conditions do not restrict one from participating, once again, just let your the represenative know about your condition

According to the RI blood center, “Donating blood is relatively pain free, a simple pinch is all you feel.”

The entire donation only takes about 45 minutes, of that the actual process of blood being taken is only five to ten minutes. After giving, students can enjoy Kingston Pizza.

The Blood Center also encourages anyone who wants to donate to come to the high school to donate.

People who will be donating on October 20 are encouraged to get a good night sleep, eat regularly, and drink plenty of healthy fluids before donating.

The RI Blood Center states that, “[By donating] You’ve helped Save a Life.”

Constantly living in the shadow of his father, three-time golf world champion and all-knowing master of the universe, Reverend Doctor Tom Reul, young Thomas Jeffrey enjoys moving, complaining about unpacking, and spending time with his aquarium. You can count on TJ for… well, you can’t really count on him for anything, but he sure does have a cute smile. Known for his winning looks and “chipper” attitude, “Teej” is a well-known personality around the school (if only for his step-sister). He hopes to one day rise to the status of master waterbender, but for now he’ll settle for his title of Ping-Pong champion of the SK dating scene.

Or playing Xbox in his basement with fellow neighbor Connor “Corn” Blessing. Jack’s face resembles that of a Jack Russell Terrior.

CHICAGO — South Kingstown’s Harrison Barlow was named the 2010-11 Gatorade Rhode Island Baseball Player of the Year on Wednesday.

Barlow is the first player of the year to be chosen from South Kingstown.

The award, which recognizes not only outstanding athletic excellence, but also high standards of academic achievement and exemplary character demonstrated on and off the field, distinguishes Barlow as Rhode Island’s best high school baseball player.

The 6-foot-1,165-pound senior shortstop batted .479 with 36 runs scored, 20 stolen bases, 14 RBI and seven doubles this past season while leading the Rebels (16-8) to a berth in the Division I state tournament.

A returning First Team All-State selection, Barlow produced a .630 slugging percentage and a .578 on-base percentage. Also a pitcher, Barlow posted a 1.77 ERA and 15 strikeouts against just one walk in 17.1 innings.

The two-time Division I-South Player of the Year, he finished with a .500 batting average at the plate as a junior in addition to a 1.99 ERA over 25 innings on the mound.

Barlow has maintained a 3.44 GPA in the classroom. In addition to donating his time as a youth baseball instructor, he has volunteered as part of the Vacation Bible School on behalf of his church community.

Barlow was also presented the Eileen Cullen Hughes Award by the RI High School Baseball Umpires Association. The award is for the player who has gone above and beyond the sport to promote baseball.

“He’s a great ballplayer,” said South Kingstown head coach James Sauro. “He’s by far the best shortstop and one of the best pitchers in the state. For two years, he’s been the Most Outstanding Player in the league, and three of the final four teams remaining are from Division I-South. Harrison’s a stud. We only had one captain this year, and it was him. Whenever things went wrong, he kept guys on task. He’s a great leader.”

Barlow will attend the University of Rhode Island this fall.
