St. Johns County reported its first death from COVID-19 in March 2020, a 52-year-old man.
Now, a year later, the pandemic has led to more than 20,000 reported COVID-19 cases in the county, including non-residents, and has had widespread effects in the community beyond illness and death. People lost their jobs. Businesses shut down. Elderly residents became even more isolated. Families had to grapple with new dynamics.
But some people didn t make it home, and many St. Johns County residents are mourning the loss of their loved ones.

Fight 2 Win put on two fantastic events one after the other last week, with F2W 160 taking place on 15th January and 161 happening on the 22nd. The first event saw William Tackett remind the world exactly why he’s one of the hottest prospects right now by beating ADCC veteran John Combs by Decision with relentless leg attacks from the bottom that really put Combs’ defensive skills to the test.

F2W 161 was then headlined by Roberto ‘Cyborg’ Abreu who continued the incredible form that saw him win a slate of awards in 2020 by defeating Tim Spriggs to retain his F2W Super-Heavyweight title. The rest of the card featured a host of elite grapplers putting on great displays, like Aaron ‘Tex’ Johnson submitting Arnaldo Maidana, Rida Haisam outworking Brendan Allen, and Jason Rau defeating Gesias ‘JZ’ Cavalcante.

While 2020 will always be remembered as the year of the pandemic, it’s also the year residents of northern Rhode Island came together in an unprecedented show of support for their neighbors and friends. Much of this kindness was directed at healthcare workers, first responders and others who faced seemingly insurmountable challenges as the pandemic took hold. From drive-in graduations to socially distanced parades, here are some of our favorite ways the community came together in 2020.

Back in the Day: Paperboys, papergirls of the past share memories
The days of newsboys who would yell “Extra! Extra! Read all about it!” as they hawked the printed news of the day on street corners is something I’ve only seen in movies. By my day, the method that most people received their daily newspapers was by direct delivery to their homes from paperboys.
