Happy New Year
Over the past year we have seen and commented on some of major issues facing Rhode Island. These are well known by now. But not enough is said about the good things arising from our heritage and our legacy. This year our resolution is to focus on the positives that are at the core of this state and which are often neglected in the political gamesmanship that is Rhode Island's favorite sport.
Here is an example of the hidden secrets that go on day to day unrecognized and unheralded. Clear Carbon and Components Inc. is a boat-building business that has survived the ups and downs of a tough economy. This Bristol company now makes a wide range of products from lightweight springs to military components to a black carbon-fiber cello owned by Yo-Yo Ma. Today, this entrepreneurial company depends on recreational boating for about 15 percent of its business. See

The Rhode Island arts community continues to be a shining light adding to the quality of life and general welfare in the community. Even in the poor economy and its impact on the nonprofit sector, Trinity Repretory has been able to step forward during this recent cold spell and help out the homeless.
These are the types of examples we need to be seeing and we will try to bring you over the new year.
