4. Which group released “Lyin’ Eyes”?

5. Name the song that contains these lyrics: “Loneliness is the cloak you wear, A deep shade of blue is always there.”

Answers

1. Joni Mitchell, in 1970. She wrote the song in Hawaii after seeing the gorgeous landscape broken up by a massive paved parking lot.

2. The Doors, in 1968. It was their only No. 1 album and included “Hel lo, I Love You,” one of their only two chart topper singles, the other being “Light My Fire.”

3. Carnaby Street, likely first built in 1685, became a hippie haven by the 1960s. It was dedicated to fashion and music, with underground clubs where groups like the Rolling Stones and The Who got a start.

4. The Eagles, in 1975. The song nabbed a Grammy for Pop Vocals.

5. “The Sun Ain’t Gonna Shine Any more,” by Frankie Valli in 1965, and then a year later The Walker Brothers released their own cover. The Valli version only hit No. 128 on the charts, but the Walkers’ version went to No. 13 and is the one everyone remem bers.

3 Ways To Get The House You Want

(NAPS)—Over ve million homes are sold in America every year, accord ing to realtors. If you’d like one of them to be yours, there are a few facts you should know.

In a perfect world, you’d fall in love with a new home, submit an o er, and have the seller accept it. e world, how ever, is rarely perfect. So how can you make your o er stand out when there’s competition for the home you want? Here are three hints that can help.

1. Shorten the timeline: Sellers want to move on. O ering a quick close lets them get to their own new home sooner and alleviates worries about the trans action falling through. Removing con tingencies is a strategy to fast-track the closing timeline. You can work with your agent to determine whether waiv ing contingencies is a good option in your situation.

2. Make a cash o er: Nothing appeals to sellers like cash. When you o er cash instead of getting a mortgage, you eliminate the time for the mortgage to close. You also remove the risk of the mortgage loan not going through.

Don’t have the cash? ere are still options. Companies such as Flyhomes make the cash o er on your behalf, close with the seller, then sell the home to you

from start to nish. You’re supported by specialists for touring, research and more. Plus they’ll help you deal with title and escrow.

3. Find out why the seller is sell ing: A great real estate agent will tailor your o er to the seller’s goals. A seller who’s lived in a home for a long time is likely looking for a buyer who will cherish the home as much as they did.

In that case, you might choose to write a letter to the seller to accompany your o er. On the other hand, the home may be owned by an investor, who will be most interested in selling to the buyer with the highest price and best terms.

Did You Know?

When you buy a home, paying cash can give you a boost. To help, Flyhomes makes the cash o er on your behalf, closes with the seller, then sells the home to you at the same price a er your mortgage is nalized. Learn more at www. yhomes.com.

Trick or treat??

Come in…if you dare!!

You’ve scrimped and saved for years to afford your long-awaited home purchase.

Inspections go well and you’re excited to close and move in.

As time goes by, you begin to notice weird happenings in and around the property. Objects you may have put in certain places are moved, doors suddenly open on their own, you feel cold air in certain spots, maybe you hear strange noises, or notice the family pet is acting strange. Could your home be haunted, or occupied by previous owners whose spirit remains?

There are stories of many homes said to be haunted or occupied by ghosts. Some of which are local to our area.

1677 Round Top Rd in Burrillville built in 1836 is the subject of the movie ‘The Conjuring’ The original movie was based on accounts taken from inhabitants of this farmhouse. The house was rumored to be haunted by the presence of Bathsheba Sherman, who in the 1800’s lived in the house. The property had many owners over the years. Most recently, the property was listed for sale in September 2021 at $1.2 million, and closed in May 2022, at $1.525 million. The property owners have opened the home to visitors who dare to stay to investigate paranormal activity there.

Another popular property said to have paranormal activity is The Seaview Terrace on Ruggles Ave in Newport.

The property sits on 8 acres of beautiful ocean views along The Cliffwalk. According to the field card details, the home has 37,772. sq.ft. living area with 9 bedrooms and 9 full baths. This property was

listed for sale in August 2021 at $29.9 million dollars. After 213 days on the market and no takers, it was withdrawn from publication. As written in an article in “Ultimate Unexplained”:

Seaview Terrace is full of believe it-or-nots, such as how it even came to be in Newport. Originally much of this French Renaissance Revival Chateau was built in 1907

on Dupont Circle in Washington D.C. with many rooms being shipped to D.C. from France. The house was then completely dismantled again and relocated to Newport in 1923, taking almost two years and $2 million to accomplish..Stories say the home is haunted by the original owner’s wife, Julia Williams Bradley. Her funeral was held in the house’s chapel in 1929 and people said her ghost was seen playing the chapel’s organ almost immediately after.

Some “Haunted Houses” experience frightening events, while others may be occupied by previous owners whose spirits may remain, however in a way not to frighten the occupants living there. Many of us have either experienced strange happenings in a home or know of someone who has. Some will say it is just your imagination or a misunderstood experience. Others will believe there is a ghost creating the events. Whatever the case may be, it can be unsettling.

There are ways to attempt to cleanse a home of its spirits. Some say this can be done by simply asking the spirit to leave. If that isn’t effective, using sage or incense can be used to cleanse the home. A median can be brought in to assess the situation and determine how to approach the problem. Maybe a ceremonial cleansing is needed. A cleansing/clearing can last anywhere from a few minutes to days.

If action taken is not successful, you can either leave the property if you simply can’t deal with it, or, co-exist in the property with your ghost and learn to live with it.

Happy Hauntings!!

How to approach a BASEMENT REMODEL

METRO

A fully finished and functional basement is a dream for many homeowners. Such a space, when completed, can serve as an entertainment space, a man cave, an artist’s studio, or any number of additional functions.

Despite their usefulness, fin ished basements are something of a rarity. In an analysis of data from the U.S. Census Bureau’s Survey of Construction, the National Association of Home Builders¨ found that only around 24 percent of single-family homes built in 2018 have base ments. Homeowners who do not currently have a finished base ment but are considering such a project can approach the remodel with a few key factors in mind. Careful consideration of these factors can ensure the project is budget-friendly and worthy of homeowners’ investments.

• Investment value: Conventional wisdom among home ren ovation and real estate experts suggests that a basement remod el is best if done to satisfy current inhabitants and not necessarily to appeal to prospective buyers once the home is put up for sale.

Remodeling magazine reports

that a midrange basement re model costing around $70,000 will provide a return of around $49,000 (or 70 percent) at resale.

Though that’s not a poor return on investment, homeowners who are remodeling a basement solely for the potential ROI at resale can find other projects that provide a greater return.

• Foundation: The foundation of the home must garner ample consideration before beginning a basement remodel. Certain foun dation issues, such as soft con crete, cracked or curved outside walls and cracks in the flooring, are indicative of significant is sues with the foundation. These issues can be costly to address, and they must be remedied be fore the basement remodel can begin.

• Existing space: Some home owners may have bought their homes with partially finished basements or even finished areas that they simply want to remodel. In such instances, a pre-remodel inspection from a licensed home inspector can save homeowners lots of money and heartache over the long haul. Partially finished or even aging finished basements might not have been renovated in

adherence to codes, which could lead to costly violations down the road. An inspection in advance of a remodel can give homeown ers an idea of what they will need to do to bring the basement up to code. Local officials also can pro vide a list of necessary permits and a detailed description of re quirements to ensure the remod eled basement adheres to code.

• Soil: Soil surrounding the home should be tested prior to beginning the project. Radon is an odorless gas found in soil that the U.S. Environmental Protec tion Agency notes can increase individuals’ risk for lung cancer. Radon can seep into basements and increase that risk even fur ther if it is present at elevated levels in the soil surrounding a home. Radon tests are simple and inexpensive, and no base ment remodel project should be gin without first conducting such a test.

Finished basements are valu able spaces. Homeowners who want to finish or remodel their basements should consider a host of factors before beginning the renovation.

24-Hour Refrigerator

Vegetable Pickles

On a recent afternoon when my son texted me to check in, I nimbly replied with sticky fingers, “I’m preoccupied with taking pics of pints of pickled ....” While laughing at the preponderance of P’s, I accidentally pressed “send.” He immediately wrote back, “Pickled PEP PERS? ... ha!”

OK, so I may have left the peppers out of this recipe, but keeping with the “Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled ...” verse that took us back to his childhood, I simply replied, “perhaps.” Wordplay and food play are interchangeable with kids, no matter their age.

Preparing pickled veggies this time of year is the perfect antidote for using and enjoying the abundance of fresh, tender and tasty produce in our gardens and markets. You and your kids can create jars full to stack in the refrigerator in less than an hour for a month of tasty sides. Discover, like my family, that the vege tables will be sweet like bread and butter pickles, but will pack more flavor than the traditional grocery-store fare.

2 tablespoons kosher salt

1/4 cup mustard seed

1 tablespoon celery seed

1 tablespoon black peppercorns 6 bay leaves

Fresh dill (optional)

For the vegetables:

3 cucumbers, sliced in discs or quartered lengthwise

6 medium carrots, peeled and quartered lengthwise

2 big handfuls of green beans

1 medium cauliflower, broken into pieces 2 onions, halved and sliced

1. In a saucepan, combine the first six brine ingredients and bring to a boil, stir ring until sugar is completely dissolved.

2. Place the vegetables in a large bowl.

3. An adult should pour the hot brine mixture over the vegetables. Cool.

Transfer equally to six clean jars, tuck ing a bay leaf and dill (if you choose) in each one. Screw lids on tightly and place in the refrigerator.

HOLLYWOOD — “Star Trek” fans were disappointed that “Star Trek 4” has been postponed indefinitely. When “WandaVision” director Matt Shakman dropped out, Paramount Pictures relinquished their release date for “Star Trek.” But, fear not, Trek kies, Chris Pine will return as Capt. James T. Kirk. There’s no way Par amount would allow the fatted calf, with grosses of almost $2 billion, to go unproduced ... they’ll find a new direc tor, and pronto!

Who hasn’t had problems with trolls on social media? Certainly not a superstar such as Robert Redford But, Redford took to Facebook to deal with “his” problem with social media. Redford stated: “I want you to have every right to post your opinions, regardless if we agree or disagree. My point is, you can come and post the same tired narratives, and I won’t delete you or get angry. If I do decide to address your comments, then don’t get your feelings hurt and run. What I won’t allow on my page, my property, is for someone to come and try to get a rise or reaction out of me.

“My old age (86) has brought me wisdom and patience. When a com ment starts with ‘I am not trying to start anything …,’ then I call it ‘BS.’

Yes, you are, but the ‘BS’ falls on you.

I will ignore your comments and move on. Why? Because 99.9% of the divi sion in this country has been brought on by social media and opinion news.

The days of news delivered by true journalists are gone. What’s fright ening is I don’t think we will ever go back to ‘agree to disagree’ and remain responsible respectful opposites.”

I’ve known Robert Redford more than 50 years, and we’ve had many conversations. He’s always been a thoughtful, intelligent gentleman.

That he should have this kind of trou ble on social media shows how people try to get their 15 minutes of fame by

Hugh Jackman has posted a clos ing notice for Broadway’s “The Music Man” dated for Jan. 1, 2023. He’s already completed filming on “The Son,” with Oscar winners Laura Dern and Anthony Hopkins (due Nov. 11), and is free to do a new film. Enter Ryan Reynolds, who contacted Jack man on Instagram and asked, “Hey, Hugh, you want to play Wolverine one more time?” “Wolverine” (the trilogy that grossed more than $1 billion ver sus the $1.5 billion grossed by the first two “Deadpool” films) made Jackman a star, and his answer was, “Yeah, sure, Ryan!” “Deadpool 3” is set to release on Sept. 6, 2024. Being “The Music Man” gave Jackman a lot of practice howling at the moon!
