and strawberry tonic, a medicinal drink. The remaining berries were dried on flat rocks for several days.

These dried berries would be used throughout the fall and winter in breads, cakes, puddings and porridge.

The first American species of strawberry was cultivated in about 1835.

Today, the strawberry is the leading small fruit crop in the U.S. It is farmed from Florida to Alaska, with the largest strawberry growing centers located in California and Florida.

Strawberries Are the Perfect Fruit Strawberries have been considered a tasty and nutritious treat for hundreds of years. Nutritional experts believe that strawberries are as close as you can get to a perfect fruit. They’re low in calories (just 27 per 100 grams) and fat-free, but packed with nutrients, including vitamins and antioxidants that bring numerous health benefits. Eating just five strawberries gives you more vitamin C than an orange. The vitamin content in strawberries drops quickly, so you need to eat them as soon as you can after they’ve been picked.

The strawberry got its name from the common practice of growing berries under straw to protect them from winter cold and late spring frosts. A member of the rose family, the strawberry sometimes gives off a rose-like aroma.

Many speculate about how the luscious fruit was discovered. It is known that the strawberry goes as far back as the Romans, and perhaps even the Greeks.

The strawberry plant was originally grown in Northern Europe, but wild species also are found in Russia, Chile and North America. At one time, wild strawberries grew everywhere from Canada to the Carolinas and westward beyond the Appalachian Mountains.

Before modern refrigeration, a day of “strawberring” meant a long day of picking, followed by gorging on delicious strawberry treats — pies, tarts, shortcake and all the ripe strawberries the family could consume. Berries that were not eaten were preserved as jam, jelly, sauce, strawberry vinegar

When picking or buying packages of strawberries, look for ripe, shiny and brilliantly colored berries without any soft or brown patches. Never buy strawberries that are green or hard, or that look dry, dull or wrinkled. When buying berries packed in a basket, check the bottom to see if there is a juice stain. This means that the strawberries at the bottom are crushed.

Always dispose of any berries that have signs of mildew or are rotten, as they’ll contaminate the rest.

Refrigerating strawberries ruins the flavor, and the strawberry aroma is easily picked up by other foods in the refrigerator. Store the berries in a cool place. Strawberries should be lightly rinsed, not washed, before serving, and eaten as soon as possible.

This recipe for Strawberry Flower Cups is an easy way to serve fresh berries as a dessert or to use as a beautiful decoration. The strawberries are cut to resemble flower petals then

stuffed with sweetened cream cheese.

It’s a cool, delicious way to showcase these beautiful berries!

STRAWBERRY FLOWER CUPS 32

fresh, whole strawberries, large 12 ounces cream cheese, softened 1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar 1/4 teaspoon almond extract 2 tablespoons semisweet or milk chocolate, grated 1. Lightly rinse the strawberries and gently place them in a colander to drain. Cut a thin slice from the stem end of each strawberry to create a base so that the berries will stand upright on the flattened end. Place the berries, cut side down, on a cutting board. Carefully cut each berry into 4 wedges, but do not cut through the bottom. Use your finger to gently press down in the center of the berry so that the wedges fan out just slightly, taking care not to break the berries apart. Set the berries aside.

2. Using a small mixing bowl, beat together the cream cheese, confectioners’ sugar and almond extract until light and fluffy. Gently fold-in half of the grated chocolate. Use a teaspoon, a plastic sandwich bag with a small hole cut into the end or a decorating bag with decorative tip to fill the berries with the cream-cheese mixture.

3. Sprinkle the remaining grated chocolate over each berry. Cover and chill until ready to serve. Makes about 32 filled strawberries. *** Angela Shelf Medearis is an award-winning children’s author, culinary historian and the author of seven cookbooks.

Most holy Apostle, St. Jude, faithful servant and friend of Jesus, the church honors and invokes you universally, as the patron of hopeless cases, of things almost despaired of. Pray for me, I am so helpless and alone. Make use, I implore you, of that particular privilege given to you, to bring visible and speedy help where help is almost despaired of. Come to my assistance in this great need that I may receive the consolation and help of heaven in all my necessities, tribulations, and sufferings, particularly (your request) and that I may praise God with you and all the elect forever. I promise, O blessed St. Jude, to be ever mindful of this great favor, to always honor you as my special and powerful patron, and to gratefully encourage devotion to you. Amen.

The opportunity to make a home more comfortable, safer and/or more eco-friendly entices many homeowners to open their wallets. In fact, the Home Improvement Research Institute estimates that the home improvement products market will grow by more than 5 percent in 2018.

• Do some of the labor yourself. Homeowners willing to swing a hammer also can stretch their home improvement dollars. For example, the home improvement resource This Old House® notes that homeowners willing to do their own demolition before the contractors arrive can save substantial amounts of money. A professional contractor may charge $1,000 to demo a 200-square-foot deck, but This Old House estimates that homeowners who demo their

Home improvement projects provide homeowners with a chance to put their own stamp on their homes. In addition, many such projects make homes safer and, in some instances, more eco-friendly.

• Do your homework. Each year, Remodeling magazine publishes its “Cost vs. Value Report,” a comprehensive study of 21 popular remodeling projects in 149 United States markets. The report notes the value each project retains at resale in 100 markets across the country. Homeowners who want to get the strongest return on investment can access the “Cost vs. Value Report” (www.remodeling.how. net) to see which home improvement projects are best suited for them.

Make the most of your home improvement dollars

Homeowners might experience some sticker shock when researching home improvement projects or receiving estimates from contractors. But there are ways for budget-conscious homeowners to transform their homes and still make the most of their home improvement dollars.

own decks may spend only $450 (for the dumpster rental and parking permit).

• Hire a consultant. The DIY movement is incredibly popular, no doubt thanks to television channels such as HGTV and the DIY Network. Homeowners with DIY experience may be able to complete projects on their own with little consultation from professional contractors. Some contractors may not offer consulting services, however. The consultation route, which typically requires paying licensed contractors hourly fees to offer guidance, should only be considered by homeowners with legitimate DIY skills, for whom this option can be a great way to save money.

• Schedule renovations during homeowner-friendly times of year. Summer and fall tend to be contractors’ busy seasons, and homeowners will likely pay more for projects during this time of year. If possible, delay starting projects until right after the new year, when contractors aren’t so busy and might be more flexible with pricing.

Budget-conscious homeowners can employ various strategies to make the most of their home improvement dollars without sacrificing quality.

2. Research permits. Most home renovation projects need to be approved by the local municipality. Go to the permit office and find out the requirements. Some window contractors will include securing permits in the cost of the project. After the project is completed, an inspector will come by and ensure the work was done according to code.

1. Get several estimates. Ask for recommendations from neighbors or other people in your area on which companies they used to install their replacement windows. When you interview the prospects, ask several questions about how they go about installing the windows. Questions can include:

Stock up on Firewood!

Don’t be Cold this Winter.

3. Change up the appearance. Look at the type of hardware you have around the home and other fixtures. Choose windows that have locks or latches that can match those features for continuity of style.

Think about choosing a different style or frame color of the window, or a different type of window to improve efficiency and function.

4. Research top window manufacturers. It’s tempting to purchase windows based on price alone, but replacement windows are often a decision that only has to be made once or twice for the life of the home.

Invest in durable windows that will have staying power. Consumer Reports offers unbiased reviews on various window brands and can help homeowners make sound decisions.

5. Prepare for installation. Clear pathways, remove window treatments and disconnect window alarm systems. Plan for one to two days of installation, advises Andersen Windows and Doors. Keep pets and children away from work areas.

Replacement windows can be a smart investment.

New windows can improve the look of a home, reduce heating costs and can keep interior spaces comfortable.

Home Improvement How to design a fitness room at home People exercise for many different reasons. Exercise can improve one’s appearance, reduce the risk for illness, alleviate stress or anxiety, and even help pass some time.

Exercise is often a social activity, but in the wake of social distancing guidelines issue in response to the COVID-19 outbreak, many people have found themselves looking for ways to exercise at home.

• Keep the space bright. Darkness can sap energy levels, so invest in mirrors and adequate overhead lighting to make the space inviting. Natural light can make the exercise area more enjoyable.

• Consider the flooring. New flooring can protect against damage and make an area more conductive to working out. Rubber mats can offset echoes and reduce the noise of running on a treadmill or setting down heavy weights.

• Use space-saving equipment. A home gym space will likely not be as expansive as the space inside a traditional fitness center. Thankfully, many

activities do not require a lot of space or equipment. Classic exercises like squats, lunges, push ups, and sit ups require little gear but still produce results. Figure out which equipment you like the most and invest in two or three key pieces. Dumbells of various weights, a medicine ball and a yoga mat can be all you need to create a versatile, effective workout. A TRX system and a door-mounted pull-up bar also are great space-saving options.

• Have a TV hookup. A home gym may benefit from a smart TV that you can use to stream workout videos or catch up on the latest news while running the treadmill or using the stationary bike.

A home gym is beneficial year-round, and can be especially valuable when social distancing guidelines are put in place.

by Jennifer Coates

It doesn’t take more than a casual glance in your own mirror to realize why the parking lot at Fantastic Sam’s in Coventry is full, full, full! Men, women, and children everywhere are finally emerging after months of stay-at-home orders that closed salons across the state and they are now flocking to Fantastic Sam’s to tame their wild, unruly, scruffy, long and gray hair! It may have been a long time coming, but the crew at this busy salon have sharpened their scissors, sanitized every surface, and pulled out every stop to get ready for your return.

It has been a long season of waiting for the crew at Fantastic Sam’s, but they have not been idle during this shutdown.

Longtime fans of this popular destination will do a doubletake when they come for those long-overdue cuts and colors.

Fantastic Sam’s has MOVED! But never fear, the salon has only moved to a larger, sunnier space which is a quick jump across the street from their former location on Tiogue Avenue.

The “new & improvedâ€? salon boasts a large parking lot, a comfortable waiting area and plenty of styling stations. It is boldly furnished with high contrast black, white and red dĂŠcor but is also warm and inviting. If you are expecting the new salon to look like the old one, you will be surprised. It is now located in a Cape-style house, complete with a pitched roof, shutters and a lush grass lawn. It is more welcoming than ever.

The staff at Fantastic Sam’s are grateful to be open for business, but they are also abiding by every regulation laid out by the governor. Masks are mandatory, six feet distancing is enforced, appointments are required (not the usual way

Come to the brand-new Fantastic Sam’s Cut & Color salon, now on 1015 Tiogue Avenue in Coventry ~ it is officially open for business!

These are extraordinary times and they call for extraordinary measures. All the stylists here, including manager Cirise, thank you for your patience as they navigate this “new normal� in the salon business.

Though much has changed here, there are many things that have remained constant at Fantastic Sam’s. The team of experienced stylists have all returned, so if you have a favorite, don’t forget to make your appointment with them!

Tips for prospective real estate investors Real estate can be a good investment that helps build wealth and secure a financial future. According to Investopedia, average 20-year returns in commercial real estate hover around 9.5 percent, while residential and diversified real estate average returns of 10.6 percent.

Such figures may seem too good to ignore for many prospective real estate investors. But investing in real estate can be risky, and it’s important that firsttime investors consider a host of factors before deciding to delve into the real estate market.

Current finances Real estate can potentially yield big returns, but these may only materialize after investors spend ample amounts of money refurbishing or even maintaining their investment properties. Prospective investors without the capital on hand to finance repairs or routine maintenance may find it difficult to make their properties appealing to potential tenants, which can make it harder to meet mortgage payments. Prospective investors who already have sizable debts, be it consumer debt or existing mortgage payments, may want to pay down those debts before investing in real estate.

Down payments According to Wells Fargo, mortgage insurance does not cover investment property, and loans typically require a minimum down payment of 20 percent of the value of the property. So prospective investors cannot count on mortgage insurance to finance their investments in real estate. Investors should not just make sure they can meet that 20 percent

requirement, but also ensure they have enough capital left after making their down payments to address any repairs that need to be made. If not, they might have trouble attracting renters willing to pay enough in rent.

primary residence, says Quicken Loans.

Investors should not count on getting the same or better interest rates for their investment properties that they did when buying the homes they currently live in.

Interest rates

Financial reserves

Prospective real estate investors may be surprised to learn that investment property loans are often subject to higher interest rates than those for home buyers borrowing to purchase a

Some lenders may require that prospective investors have sizable financial reserves before they will lend them money to invest in real estate.

Some may require that borrowers have

several months’ worth of reserves to finance both their personal lives and their investments. If a 20 percent down payment would make that impossible, then prospective investors may want to wait a little longer to invest and save more money until their financial reserves would prove more acceptable to lenders.

Investing in real estate can yield big returns. But first-time investors should know that such investments are vastly different than investing in a home for oneself. METRO

Tips to consider before showing a rental property

Real estate can be a lucrative investment that provides income well into retirement.

Real estate investors who intend to rent their properties will have to periodically show them to prospective tenants. The process of showing a rental property begins before such tenants arrive to look at the home.

Landlords who want to get the best possible return on their real estate investments can consider these tips before showing their properties.

• Work with your existing tenants. If tenants are currently in the property, work with them to ensure the home or apartment is ready to show. Provide advance notice when you will be showing the property so your current tenants have plenty of time to clean up and make arrangements to be elsewhere when prospective renters show up.

Existing tenants likely won’t want the place to be a

mess during a showing, but you need to give them time to clean up.

• Address any issues before showing the property.

Does a screen door need fixing? Does the shower need to be grouted? Address such issues before showing the property. Failure to do so will give prospective renters the impression that you don’t respond to problems promptly, and that may give many second thoughts about becoming

your tenant.

• Make yourself available. Landlords don’t have to be present at a showing, and some prospective tenants might prefer to see a property with only their realtors present. But landlords should make themselves readily available, answering questions promptly via email, text message or over the phone if they don’t plan to attend showings. This gives potential renters a strong first

Get the financial facts about timeshares Many people turn to timeshares as a way to enjoy annual vacations. But is investing in a timeshare a financially sound decision?

That depends on who you ask. Getting the facts about how timeshares work and learning a few tricks can help anyone make an educated decision about timeshares. In a timeshare, individuals purchase a place to stay in vacation property. They typically can then use this room and the surrounding amenities once per year, and often must travel to the same location time and again.

Timeshares long have held appeal because they are marketed toward people who may not be able to buy a vacation home, but still want to vacation each year. There are some advantages to timeshares. They provide a guaranteed vacation destination each year in a familiar place. This is great for people who value familiarity. Timeshares also make it possible to afford a vacation in an expensive resort. Sometimes a person can trade times or locations with other timeshare owners, enabling more versatility and new destination experiences. For those who have to skip a year, it may be possible to sublet the timeshare or let family and friends use it if the agreement allows. Timeshares have some notable drawbacks as well. Cost-efficiency is one notable

impression of you as an attentive landlord.

• Provide details about the property. If you’re utilizing a real estate agent to show the property, then he or she will no doubt create a listing that highlights various things about the home or apartment. This includes the number of rooms, utilities, parking, and other details renters will want to know. If you are showing the property yourself, create such a packet for renters. This makes it easy for them to make a decision, and they’ll likely be impressed by your attention to detail.

Rental properties can be lucrative investments.

Landlords willing to go the extra mile when showing such properties should be able to attract scores of potential tenants. METRO

Planning home improvements?

drawback of timeshares. The American Resort Development Association, a trade group for timeshare companies, offers that the average cost of a timeshare is around $20,000, with an annual maintenance fee of $660. Those fees are paid even if the resort isn’t used that year. Chances are a person can get a comparable vacation elsewhere for a lower cost — especially with the abundance of vacation property rentals available from traditional hotels as well as sites such as Airbnb. A timeshare is not like a traditional real estate investment. According to Investopedia, it is an illiquid asset that is likely to lose value over time. Those who decide to sell their timeshares often find they must do so at a deep discount. Furthermore, those who sell a timeshare at a loss may find the Internal Revenue Service doesn’t let them claim a capital loss, which is often the case with other investments and property. To make timeshares work, individuals can opt to buy used, which is often at a fraction of the cost offered new by resort developers. Also, realize that a timeshare is a lifestyle purchase, not exactly a real estate investment. Timeshares are not a way to turn a profit. Try to purchase in desirable locations as well. Doing so increases the likelihood of resale in the future. METRO

Prospective real estate investors who hope to buy, hold and rent out their investment properties should first interview potential property managers before buying homes. While it’s possible to find property managers willing to manage single-family homes or duplexes, the financial resource Bankrate.com notes that many property managers prefer to manage large apartment complexes instead. Managing properties is hard work, and without skilled property managers on their side, real estate investors may become overwhelmed by the responsibilities of taking care of their real estate investments while simultaneously trying to maintain their own residences. Before buying investment properties, prospective real estate investors should interview various local property managers or property management firms, inquiring about their fees and what is included in those fees. If the cost of hiring property managers drastically cuts into the profits investors hoped to make off their investment properties, they might be better off looking to invest their money in areas other than real estate.

Prospective investors can compare the potential return on investment after the cost of property managers has been factored in to the return they might get from more traditional investments to determine if investing in real estate is a sound financial decision. METRO

Beginner’s guide to real estate investments

Purchasing a house or property is about more than setting up a home. Although quite a number of people buy real estate to establish their future, long-term abodes, many others recognize the potentially lucrative investment that lies within a real estate purchase.

Despite the ups and downs of the economy, real estate has become a common investment vehicle — one that has plenty of potential for making big gains for those who are willing to put in the effort. According to the experts at Entrepreneur, even in a bad economy, real estate investments will usually fare better than stocks. Real estate also continues to appreciate despite the occasional economical slow-down.

Like any other endeavor, there is a right and a wrong way to go about investing in real estate. Novices may not know where to begin their first forays into the real estate market as investors, even if they already own their own homes. Buying a property as an investment is an entirely different animal than buying a home to establish a residence. However, with the right guidance, anyone can dabble in real estate.

• Establish financial goals. Before you even begin looking at properties or put forth the effort of meeting with an agent, you must determine what you expect from the investment. The days of buying real estate and flipping it for a fast profit may no longer be here. However, real estate can provide a steady stream of long-term income. Understand what you hope to achieve by investing. If it’s to become an overnight millionaire, you may be looking at the wrong investment vehicle in real estate.

• Establish a plan. New investors who do not have a plan in place will likely spend too much or have more setbacks than others who have planned accordingly. When investing in real estate, it’s more about the bottom line than the property itself.

According to Springboard Academy, a real estate academy for investors, look for motivated sellers and stick to a set purchase price. Try to make offers on a variety of properties that work in your financial favor. And know what you want to do with the

property (i.e., renovate and sell, remove and rebuild, or rehab and rent) before you buy. Fit the house to the plan, and not viceversa.

• Start small. If this is your first time out there, stick with properties that will turnover quickly. Research areas in and around urban centers or close to transportation and shopping.

A good starter property is a small house or a condominium that can be refurbished and then rented. Rental properties offer steady sources of income when renters are properly vetted, offers Investopedia, an investment resource.

• Look at many different properties. Become an expert by learning as much as you can about what is out there. Attend open houses; look for vacant/unattractive properties; scour the classifieds in your local paper; or put the word out there that you’re interested in buying a property. Only look at properties that have motivated sellers, because then you’ll get closest to the price you want to pay. And don’t forget to research the area and the home turnover rate for the specific area where you are looking. Don’t make assumptions that a property will appreciate without doing your homework.

Real estate can be a worthy investment opportunity. With research, a plan and the right price, just about anyone can be a real estate investor.

Did you know?

Real estate agents help buyers and sellers through the often complicated process of navigating the real estate market. Individuals not only want to find an agent with expertise, but also one with whom they have a strong rapport. By asking agents certain questions up front, prospective home buyers and sellers can find the right real estate agent for their needs and save time and money in the process.

The following tips can help buyers and sellers find the right agent.

• Find out how long the agent has been in the business, including how many homes he or she turns over on average. Think about using an agent who is a full-time real estate professional, rather than one who only dabbles part-time.

• Consider which geographic areas the agent handles. It’s best to find an agent who is familiar with a particular town, city or even subdivision.

• Assess the agent’s personality and ability to remain calm under pressure.

He or she can then extend that placid demeanor on to buyers or sellers who may be feeling stressed by the prospect of home ownership.

Cutest Pet of the Week JULY 21, 2020

This summer, I’ve been thinking “Mexican street corn” (elotes), a lightly grilled and slightly charred corn on the cob typically slathered with mayo, rolled in crumbles of tasty cotija (pronounced ko-TEE-hah) cheese and chopped cilantro, then drizzled with fresh lime juice. A dusting of chili powder raises the heat, if you dare.

The mix of flavors is dynamic and will be memorable at your next barbecue.

Many street corn recipes call for mixing the add-ons before spreading onto the corn, but I prefer a buffet-style toppings bar to let each guest customize with his or her favorite textures and flavors.

1/4 3/4

cup mayonnaise cup cotija cheese, crumbled (substitute with crumbled feta or Parmesan) 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped 1 jalapeno chili, seeded and finely chopped (optional) Chili powder (optional) 2 limes, cut in wedges 6 ears of fresh sweet corn, shucked 1. Set up the toppings bar next to a stack of dinner plates. Place mayonnaise, cheese, cilantro and chopped chili in bowls. Arrange in a row on a serving table with a shaker of chili powder and plate of cut limes at the end. Set a brush by the mayo.

2. Boil or steam corn until tender.

3. Remove corn from cooking pot, pat dry and set on hot grill. Rotate with tongs for a few minutes.

4. Arrange on a large platter and set by toppings. Invite family and guests to take a dinner plate and begin by brushing the corn with mayonnaise.

Press cheese and cilantro into the mayo. Add chilies or sprinkle with chili powder if desired, then drizzle all over with squeezed lime juice. Serve hot. Serves 6 TIP: For those who prefer eating corn removed from the cob: Secure the end of an ear of corn in the hole of an angel food cake pan. Slice down with a sharp knife to remove the kernels — they will fall directly in the pan. *** Donna Erickson’s award-winning series “Donna’s Day” is airing on public television nationwide.

Rather than cooking the husked corn on the outdoor grill, which takes time, skill and space, I opt for boiling it in a big pot on my stove while the main course cooks on the grill. Just before we eat, I set the boiled corn on the empty hot grill until lightly charred on all sides.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Put your daydreaming penchant on hold for now, and face the facts as they are, not as you’d like them to be. Your customary hardheaded approach to “deals,” etc., is called for.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Problems beyond your control might delay some of your plans. But things should start to get back to normal by midweek. The weekend could bring an unexpected (but welcome) visitor.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) It’s a good time to buckle down and tackle those unfinished tasks so you’ll be ready to take on other projects. The week’s end could bring an invitation from a most surprising source.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) Mixed signals could create a few stressful moments for the Lion. But by midweek, explanations should help ease the tension. The weekend is party time! Share it with someone special.

• On Aug. 2, 1876, “Wild Bill” Hickok, one of the greatest gunfighters of the American West, is murdered in Deadwood, South Dakota. Hickok was playing cards with his back to the saloon door when a young gunslinger named Jack McCall shot him in the back of the head.

• On July 31, 1916, future racing legend Louise Smith, the first woman inducted into the International Motorsports Hall of Fame, is born in Barnesville, Georgia. In her first race, unaware that a checkered flag meant the finish line, Smith kept going until someone threw out a red flag.

• On July 28, 1945, an American B-25 Mitchell bomber crashes into the Empire State Building, killing 14 people. The freak accident was caused by heavy fog. When the plane swerved to avoid the Chrysler Building, it flew straight into the north side of the Empire State Building, near the 79th floor.

• On July 29, 1958, the U.S. Congress passes legislation establishing NASA, a civilian agency responsible for coordinating America’s activities in space.

• On Aug. 1, 1961, Six Flags Over Texas opens. The park was the first to feature log flume, 360-degree looping roller coaster and modern parachute drop. The park also pioneered the concept of an all-inclusive admission price.

• On July 27, 1974, the House Judiciary Committee recommends that President Richard Nixon be impeached and removed from office.

The impeachment proceedings resulted from a break-in at the Democratic Party’s national headquarters in the Watergate apartment-hotel complex in Washington, D.C. • On July 30, 1999, “The Blair Witch Project,” a low-budget, independent horror film that will become a cult hit, is released in theaters.
