Even freshly treated highways can become dangerously icy when temperatures plunge, leaving motorists vulnerable to slippery conditions despite efforts to keep roads clear.

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

Glackin odd man out for council

As ballots continue to trickle into the state’s Board of Elections, the leading candidates for town council remain the same as on election night. The lone incumbent, Democrat Mary Glackin, is currently on the outside looking in. Although the state has not yet certified the election, it appears she will not be re-elected to her second term, as canvassing clerk Keith Ford said he only has five pending overseas ballots. Three of those ballots, moreover, are qualified for federal offices only.

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.
