Lindemann ’29: Crisis pregnancy centers are a threat Rhode Island can’t ignore

The Ocean State helped buoy the blue wave that swept the nation on Nov. 3. The Democratic nominee for governor, Helena Foulkes, won her race by over 100,000 votes. The Democrats running for the Senate, the House and Attorney General also won their races. None of these victories are surprising — we live in one of the bluest states in the country. Especially when it comes to pro-choice legislation, Rhode Island is extremely liberal. In 2019, the state codified the protections of Roe v. Wade into state law, and in 2024, we established legal protections for clinicians and prohibited legal action targeting legally provided health care.

RI elementary schools should include World Languages: Letters

Elementary students should be introduced to World Languages What if children in Rhode Island had the opportunity to start learning another language in kindergarten instead of waiting until middle or high school? As someone who speaks Spanish and Portuguese, has a Master's degree in World Language Education, and is a mother, I believe this is an idea worth considering. First, I want to recognize the hard work of our schools, teachers and administrators. My intention is not to criticize what schools are doing, but to share an idea that could create opportunities for our students. In many schools, students begin learning a world language in middle or high school. I wonder what would happen if we introduced languages much earlier, starting in elementary school. My interest in this topic also comes from my family experience. Spanish and Portuguese were spoken in our home when my son was growing up. However, much of his exposure outside the home was in English. He watched television in English, listened to music in English and experienced English in many parts of his daily life. When he started school, his teachers initially thought English was his second language. Watching him grow up surrounded by three

Fall River Council Demands Answers on Seven Hills' Free Needle, Pipe Bags

Seven Hills Community Wellness Center — Reported Site of Harm-Reduction Services.

That inventory, described by City Council President Cliff Ponte, has become the center of a fight over whether a decades-old nonprofit's overdose-prevention program is helping the city or quietly enabling addiction on its streets.

Former O Gil restaurant spot in Fall River up for grabs | Exclusive

A well-known Fall River restaurant spot is gearing up for another new chapter. Just over nine months after Sosabi Restaurant and Bar opened at 915 County St., taking over the space that served as longtime home of Portuguese food fixture O Gil, that space is now up for lease. North South Property Management posted Nov. 10 that a “fully operational, turnkey restaurant space” on County Street is “ready for its next owner/operator.” Kristin Teves, owner of North South Property Management, who has managed the property for over 20 years, told The Herald News that Sosabi restaurant has been closed for three to four months after it “failed miserably.” That included contending with noise ordinance violations , before the business was eventually evicted for nonpayment, she said. The fully-equipped restaurant space, which accommodates 200 people and is located on the ground floor of the three-story County Street building, is available for lease for $3,000 a month. “Ideal for an experienced restaurateur, hospitality group, or entrepreneur looking to open a restaurant without starting from scratch,” reads the post.
