Journalists with The Public's Radio, a station serving Rhode Island and Southeastern Massachusetts, spent two years investigating teen labor in the local seafood processing industry. Their investigation, supported by FRONTLINE's Local Journalism initiative, reveals flaws in systems designed to protect migrant teens, who've arrived at the U.S. southern border in unprecedented numbers in recent years. The investigative team interviewed migrant teens and their families, and uncovered that the U.S. Department of Labor was investigating at least two New Bedford, MA, seafood processors, as well as a Rhode Island staffing agency, for possible child labor, overtime pay, and anti-retaliation violations. In this episode of The FRONTLINE Dispatch, reporters Nadine Sebai and Nina Sparling from The Public's Radio join FRONTLINE editor-in-chief and executive producer Raney Aronson-Rath to discuss their findings. Sebai and Sparling say they sought to illustrate the complexities of what happens to underage migrants after they arrive on the nation's southern border — especially the challenges they face.  Sebai says, "We've all seen... the waves of kids migrating to the border, unaccompanied minors coming to the border. But they actually end up somewhere in the U.S.” For more, read and listen to The Public Radio's investigation “Underage and Unprotected,” supported by FRONTLINE's Local Journalism Initiative.

Numb hands from cleaning freezers for hours. Shifts that end at 4 in the morning. These are just a couple of the experiences of the dozens of teenagers who spoke to The Public's Radio about working at seafood processing plants in New Bedford. Nadine Sebai and Nina Sparling are the reporters behind a two-year investigation into migrant teens working these risky jobs. Their series, “Underage and Unprotected” came out earlier this year.

An ecologist explores how life itself shapes Earth using the elemental constituents we all shareIt is rare for life to change Earth, yet three organisms have profoundly transformed our planet over the long course of its history. Elemental reveals how microbes, plants, and people used the fundamental building blocks of life to alter the climate, and with it, the trajectory of life on Earth in the past, present, and future.Taking readers from the deep geologic past to our current era of human dominance, Stephen Porder focuses on five of life's essential elements--hydrogen, oxygen, carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus. He describes how single-celled cyanobacteria and plants harnessed them to wildly proliferate across the oceans and the land, only to eventually precipitate environmental catastrophes. He then brings us to the present, and shows how these elements underpin the success of human civilization, and how their mismanagement threatens similarly catastrophic unintended consequences. But, Porder argues, if we can learn from our world-changing predecessors, we can construct a more sustainable future.Blending conversational storytelling with the latest science, Porder takes us deep into the Amazon, across fresh lava flows in Hawaii, and to the cornfields of the American Midwest to illuminate a potential path to sustainability, informed by the constraints imposed by life's essential elements and the four-billion-year history of life on Earth.Stephen Porder is associate provost for sustainability and professor of ecology, evolution, and organismal biology at Brown University. He is also a fellow in the Institute at Brown for Environment and Society. His writing has appeared in the New York Times, Natural History, and other leading publications. He is cofounder of Possibly, which airs on The Public's Radio and provides practical advice on sustainability to a general audience.Buy the book from Wellington Square Bookshop - ​https://wellingtonsquarebooks.indiecommerce.com/book/9780691177298

Comments On The Solano County City Ecorche writes: The Public's Radio article has a map in it that gives a better idea of the location. It looks like most of the land is closer to Rio Vista and does include a good stretch of riverfront. The land close to Travis is probably intended as industrial park rather than residential https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/highlights-from-the-comments-on-last

You're listening to the Westerly Sun's podcast, where we talk about the best local events, new job postings, obituaries, and more. First, a bit of Rhode Island trivia. Today's trivia is brought to you by Perennial. Perennial's new plant-based drink “Daily Gut & Brain” is a blend of easily digestible nutrients crafted for gut and brain health. A convenient mini-meal, Daily Gut & Brain” is available now at the CVS Pharmacy in Wakefield. Now for some trivia. Did you know that America's first Baptist church was founded by Roger Williams in Providence in 1638—and it's still there today? Even still, 54% of the state identifies as being Catholic which makes it the most Catholic state in the US. Now, for our feature story: Film lovers will soon be able to sit comfortably in one of the United Theatre's three state-of-the-art movie houses and enjoy first-run art-house movies every day of the year. "Three hundred and sixty-five days a year," said a smiling Lisa Utman Randall, the theater's executive director one afternoon last week as she led a group of people on a tour of the building, which is near completion and on track to open in June. "It's going to be amazing." Amazing is certainly one way to describe the $12 million renovation of the Canal Street property, which includes not only the original United Theatre — which opened as a Vaudeville theater in January 1926 — but the adjacent former Montgomery Ward building. From the beginning of the renovation, which started when The Westerly Land Trust purchased the theater as part of the Urban Program in the winter of 2006, plans have called to develop the property into somewhat of a "mini Lincoln Center" for the region. And now, as opening day inches closer, and The United Theatre makes plans to officially open its doors as the region's premier arts complex, the breadth, depth and scope of the project is there for all to see.   While no official opening date has been set, there are a number of films and live events planned for the summer, Utman Randall said, and an upcoming events calendar will be published next month. "It's just so exciting to be at this point," Utman Randall said as she led the group from the back-door entrance — where she envisions a sculpture pad where local artists and "artists from afar" can share works — through the downstairs area where the Rhode Island Philharmonic Music School will be located with its soundproof classrooms, past the elevator, and up the stairs to the main entrance, pausing here and there to point out the green room, the concession area, the art house cinema and finally to main stage. "There's lots of red," she said with a flourish, motioning toward a brightly crimson-colored wall behind her. "It's all very theatrical ... very dramatic." The main section — the black box theater area — also includes the 100-plus-seat balcony, which can turn into its own cinema with a series of curtains and a drop-down screen. Utman Randall said much of the space has been left "intentionally flexible" so people or organizations renting space inside the theater can design it to their liking. As she walked from the main entrance to the restaurant — which runs alongside the theater, in a space once occupied by the Twisted Vine — Utman Randall stopped at a small glassed-in storefront area facing Canal Street. "This is the Public's Radio space," she said. "They'll broadcast live from here." Utman Randall, who has been giving small, COVID-19-appropriate tours of the space, said the fact that the United's opening will occur during a pandemic, makes it all the more remarkable, exciting and experimental. "A lot has changed in the world of the performing arts during COVID," she said. "It's a changing landscape." Lisa Konicki, president of the Ocean Community Chamber of Commerce, summed up many residents' hopes… “The theater will also be a destination one that will draw from neighboring communities and allow visitors to  discover our charming and thriving downtown business district."

Cecilia Aragon is a professor, pilot, computer scientist, and author.  This week on 51% she'll talk about how flying helped her face many fears. The daughter of a Chilean father and a Filipina mother, Cecilia Rodriguez Aragon grew up as a timid child in a small Midwestern town during the 1960s. Targeted by school bullies and dismissed by many of her teachers; she worried that people would find out the truth... She was INTF. Incompetent. Nerd. Terrified. Failure. This feeling stayed with her well into her 20s. Yet in the span of just six years, Aragon became the first Latina pilot to secure a place on the United States Unlimited Aerobatic Team. Dr. Cecilia Aragon is now a professor of Human-Centered Design and Engineering at the University of Washington. In her new book Flying Free: My Victory Over Fear to Become the First Latina Pilot on the US Aerobatic Team, she chronicles her story of breaking free from expectations and rising above her own limits. Aragon spoke with 51%'s Elizabeth Hill about her transformation. And now we tune into Possibly, which looks at the science behind proposed environmental solutions, taking on massive problems like the future of the planet and breaking them down into smaller q & a's. For more information go to thepublicsradio.org/possibly. Possibly is a co-production of the Institute at Brown for Environment and Society and the Public's Radio in Providence, Rhode Island.
