• Love Sudoku? M.K. of Montana suggests that you might love it even more if you color code your grid. Each number 1-9 is assigned a color, and you solve the puzzle as normal, except you color in the box to denote your answer. When it’s all finished, she says, “It looks like a colorful quilt.”
• If the vegetables you are cooking give off an unpleasant smell, grab a small saucepan and simmer a bit of plain vinegar while cooking. It will negate the smell, and leave your house smelling pleasantly like mealtime afterward.
• “Cornstarch is great for itchy, rashy skin. This is true for babies’ bottoms and for doggy bellies, which is what I use it for. My pup is allergic to grass but loves to romp. Sometimes his belly gets red, and I clean it with a mild soap and water, then give him a cornstarch rub. It sure helps.” — T.W. in Ohio

Gas Fireplace Safety Tips
Few images capture the spirit of a season as well as a family gathered around a fireplace embodies winter. Winter is indeed a time when families spend more time together indoors, and there’s no better gathering spot than around a warm fireplace.
Heartwarming scenes around a fireplace are even more enjoyable when safety has been prioritized. While natural fireplaces with roaring flames are notable safety risks, it’s important that individuals with gas fireplaces embrace fire safety as well. The following are some gas fireplace safety strategies everyone can embrace.
• Avoid the DIY installation route. Even the most skilled do-it-yourselfers are urged to let the professionals install a new gas fireplace. Gas lines are nothing to mess around with, and professional installation teams have ample experience setting up new gas fireplaces in a home.
• Be sure to install a carbon monoxide detector on the same floor as the fireplace. During the gas fireplace installation, ask that a carbon monoxide detector with battery backup is installed on the same floor. The detector alarm will
alert individuals if something is amiss, like a gas leak. Periodically inspect the detector to ensure it’s working properly.
• Periodically inspect your safety screen. Glass panels are standard features on many gas fireplaces. Such panels separate the fire within the fireplace from the people and items outside of it. Glass panels can become extremely hot, which is why most gas fireplaces come with safety screens as well. These mesh safety screens can keep curious kids and pets from touching hot glass panels, and also protect adults. Inspect the safety screens periodically to ensure they’re still intact and up to the job, replacing them if necessary.
• Keep objects a safe distance away from the fireplace. Experts advise keeping objects a minium of three feet away from the fireplace at all times. Fabrics and other materials that contact the glass pose a fire hazard, so keep the area in front of the fireplace clear.
• Make the fireplace off limits to children and pets. Though the aforementioned safety screens are a vital safety feature that can keep kids and pets safe, it’s still best that
kids and pets are kept away from the fireplace at all times. Turn off the fireplace if kids are playing in the room, and use safety gates to keep kids and pets away when the fireplace is in use.
• Book annual fireplace inspections. Annual inspections of the fireplace can ensure everything is working properly. Professional inspections may detect potentially harmful gas leaks, and annual checkups also can help individuals extend the life of their fireplaces.
• Recognize outdoor gas fireplaces have their own safety protocols. Outdoor fireplaces have become wildly popular in recent years.
Homeowners who install outdoor gas fireplaces on their properties must recognize these awe-inspiring features require their own unique safety measures, including turning off the gas supply at the end of outdoor entertaining season and protecting the fireplace from the elements when necessary.
Gas fireplace safety strategies can protect residents and also increase the life expectancy of these soughtafter features.

Tips to Conserve and Control Energy Use
Adjust thermostats: Keep the temperature between 68 and 70 degrees when you are home and lower it at night or when you are away. Lowering your thermostat by just one degree could reduce heating costs by 1 to 3 percent annually.
and cold air out.
Unblock air vents: Make sure furniture and curtains are not obstructing vents. A vent extender can help redirect airflow if you want to keep furniture in place.
Schedule heating maintenance: Book an annual checkup for your furnace, boiler, or heat pump to boost efficiency, catch minor issues before they escalate, and extend its lifespan.
Bleed radiators: Trapped air can hinder heating efficiency and increase energy costs. If you hear gurgling or banging, it is time to bleed your system.
Check chimneys and fireplaces: Service your chimney and close your fireplace damper when not in use. A glass screen can help keep warmth indoors.
Insulate key areas: Insulating walls, pipes and especially attics can keep warmth in and cut down heating costs. Focus on outlets, utility entry points and water heaters.
Change ceiling fan direction: Run fans clockwise in the winter to circulate warm air downward. In the summer, reverse the direction to create a cooling breeze.
Unplug unused electronics: Unplug devices when they are not in use, switch to LED light bulbs and consider using timers for lights.
Use rugs and curtains: Rugs add insulation to hardwood floors. Opening curtains in the daytime to let in sunlight and closing them at night helps retain warmth.
Limit decorative light use: Limiting use of seasonal lights— such as indoor and outdoor holiday lights—and choosing energy-
efficient LEDs helps prevent hazards and manage energy bills.
Long-Term Energy Savers
Consider a professional energy audit: An energy audit can identify opportunities to improve efficiency. National Grid offers free audits to income-eligible households, along with services like air sealing, insulation, or energy-efficient appliance replacements, such as ENERGY STAR ® appliances, through the Mass Save program.
Install zoned heating or a smart thermostat: Zoned heating allows targeted temperature control, and a smart thermostat lets you automate temperature adjustments, potentially saving 10 percent annually on heating and cooling.
Seek out customer assistance: National Grid’s customer savings initia tive offers support for customers and encourages participation in energy efficiency programs, flexible bill management solutions and payment assistance for income-eligible customers. For example, the Budget Plan offers eligible customers a monthly budgeting program that averages your annual energy costs and divides them into twelve equal payments, helping to smooth out high winter heating and summer cooling bills.

LOCAL BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT
The “Original” Gentleman Farmer Diner
BY JENNIFER COATES
There are times in life when it seems like the heavens have aligned and all things have come together in a way that could only be described as fate. Just ask George Trikoulis, the new owner of The “Original” Gentleman Farmer Diner, whose longheld dream of restaurant ownership was realized within the last couple of months.
Trikoulis is the son of firstgeneration Greek parents who ran a busy restaurant right from the very start of their family’s story here in America. Hard-working. Dedicated. Disciplined. Faithful. These are the core values that were ingrained in George as he learned, along with his two brothers, what it takes to run a successful business in a competitive industry.
These are also the values that George Trikoulis and his wife, Julie, work hard to instill in their own four children. This is why George is pouring his whole heart
into The Gentleman Farmer, a diner that has been feeding loyal customers for over three decades under the watchful eye of its former owner Metaxia “Tasha” Zarakostas. Tasha has been a guiding support as George has transitioned to his new role. Her customers became more like family to her and now the diner’s team is committed to continuing her legacy of offering personalized service, mouth-watering comfort food and a homey place where all are welcome. The diner is just as you imagine it to be. Comfortable. Casual. Easy. Familiar. The food is also just as you imagine traditional diner fare to be, but better! Chef George knows his way around the kitchen after a lifetime of working in the food industry. He knows that his customers depend on his food to be fresh, hot, comforting, consistent — and affordable, though don’t think he EVER takes shortcuts or
compromises on quality just to make something cost-efficient. What he can promise is that you will get your money’s worth at his restaurant. Every. Single. Time. George is a self-proclaimed “meat man”, so you can be sure he is going to deliver on anything on the menu that involves meat (including his personal favorite, the Steak
and Eggs). His food is all made-from-scratch, on the premises, and made-to-order. The selection of offerings is broad and diverse, and just plain delicious! From his seasonal “Daily Specials” such as the Pumpkin Chocolate Chip French Toast to the slow-cooked Baked Beans to Biscuits with Sausage Gravy, and SO much more.
Whether you have a hankering for Crunchy Fish & Chips or a traditional Eggs Benedict or a mouthwatering classic Grilled Cheese Sandwich, you will find something to satisfy your every craving.
Visit The “Original” Gentleman Farmer Diner at 2405 Nooseneck Hill Road in Coventry. Open every day
from 7:00am to 3:00pm with extended hours on Fridays until 7:00pm. Call 401-3920130 for take-out or to book a reservation for larger parties. If you are an experienced server, come inside and apply or email theoriginalgentlemanfarmer@ gmail.com today!
