Foulkes asks McKee Cabinet members if they want to stay

PROVIDENCE - Gov.-elect Helena Foulkes ' transition team is asking the members of Gov. Dan McKee's Cabinet – and his office staff – if they want to stay "in a leadership role within Rhode Island state government." A Nov. 12 memo to "Agency Directors" from Foulkes' transition director, Caitlin S. Molina, says: "We are conducting a review of executive leadership positions across state government. "We recognize the importance of experience, institutional knowledge, and continuity in serving the people of Rhode Island, and we welcome expressions of interest from current leaders who wish to be considered for continued service." Those interested in staying are asked to send a "letter of intent describing your interest in continued service and your vision for the agency, department, or organization under your leadership" – and a résumé by the end of day on Nov. 19.

Trendsetter: Meet Local Influencer Emily Scott James

Tell me how you got into dance. You started when you were two. Did you love it from the very beginning?. My mom brought me to a ballet class, and all the other girls were in full pink. I refused to wear pink. I said, ‘I’m going in all black.’ And the ballet teacher took me by the hand and brought me out mid-class back to my mom. She said, ‘She’s not ready for this.’ Now, having two-year-old twins myself, I’m like, ‘Are they ready?’ No, they are not ready. We moved back to Rhode Island when I was four, and that’s when I got into dance and fell in love with it.

Middletown Teen is Making Her Way in Music

From the first time Elvis Presley appeared on television his “risqué” dance moves and “suggestive” lyrics, older adults responded in abject horror.

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth proposed an answer that won’t work to a problem that doesn’t exist during his visit this week to the U.S. Naval War College in Newport. The problem, according to Hegseth, is that professional military education — the coursework and experiences that prepare service members for their next jobs or promotions — has succumbed to “academic drift,” without enough emphasis on warfighting. The answer, he says, is reducing civilian faculty.
