BLESSED VIRGIN

(Never known to fail). O Most Beautiful Flower of Mt. Carmel, Fruitful Vine, Splendor of Heaven, Blessed Mother of the Son of God, Immaculate Virgin, assist me in my necessity. O Star of the sea, help me and show me here in, you are my mother. O Holy Mary, Mother of God, Queen of Heaven and Earth, I humbly beseech you from the bottom of my heart to succor me in my necessity (make request). There are none that can withstand your power.

O Mary conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee (3 times.) Holy Mary, I place this cause in your hands (3 times). Say this prayer for three consecutive days. You must publish it and it will be granted to you.

Grateful Thanks.

Create a Family Plan for Coronavirus Crisis Like many families, we’ve been trying to process all of the information about the coronavirus outbreak and stay in good health. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s website (www. cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/index. html) contains guidelines and information to help your family through these tumultuous times. Here are some guidelines from the CDC:

Creating A Household Plan: The coronavirus outbreak could last for a long time in your community. Depending on its severity, public health officials may act to help keep people healthy, reduce exposures to COVID-19 and slow the spread of the virus. Creating a household plan can help protect your health and the health of those you care about.

Your plan should be based the needs and daily routine of your household.

Practice everyday preventive action that can help prevent the spread of respiratory illnesses: — Avoid close contact with people who are sick. — Stay home when you are sick, except to get medical care. — Cover your coughs and sneezes with a tissue. — Clean frequently touched surfaces and objects using a regular household detergent and water. — Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after going to the bathroom, before eating and after blowing your nose, coughing or sneezing.

Choose a room in your home that can be used to separate sick household members from those who are

healthy (if possible).

Avoid sharing personal items like food and drinks. Provide your sick household member with clean disposable facemasks to wear at home. Clean the sick room and bathroom, as needed, to avoid unnecessary contact with the sick person. Learn more about caring for someone with COVID-19 at home at the CDC’s coronavirus website.

Plan ways to care for those who might be at greater risk for serious complications.

Data suggests older people are more likely to have serious COVID-19 illness. If you or your household members are at increased risk for coronavirus complications, consult with your health care provider for more information about monitoring for symptoms suggestive of COVID19. The CDC will recommend actions to help keep people at high risk for complications healthy if a coronavirus outbreak occurs in your community.

Take care of the emotional health of your household members.

Outbreaks can be stressful for adults and children. Children respond differently than adults to stressful situations. Talk with your children about the outbreak, try to stay calm, and reassure them that they are safe.

Create an emergency contact list.

Ensure your household has a current list of emergency contacts for family, friends, neighbors and teachers.

Create a list of local organizations that you and your household can contact in the event you need help, including mental health or counseling services, food and other supplies.

Here’s a comforting recipe for Roasted Tomato Soup that uses canned goods and pantry items to create a delicious meal. During these challenging days, try to stay calm, take care of yourself and your loved

ones, and remember, by the grace of God this too shall pass.

ROASTED TOMATO SOUP After roasting the tomatoes, you can coarsely chop them to use as a sauce for pasta dishes instead of blending them into a soup.

2 (28-ounce) cans peeled whole tomatoes, drained, halved and seeded (such as Muir Glen, Hunt’s, Contadina or Red Pack) 14 large fresh basil leaves, torn or 2 tablespoons Italian Seasoning 1/2 medium onion, cut into 1/4inch dice 5 large cloves garlic, coarsely chopped or 1 teaspoon garlic powder 1/2 cup olive oil 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon ground black pepper 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves or nutmeg 1/8 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes 1. Heat oven to 300 F. Spread out the tomatoes, basil, onion and garlic cloves in a large shallow pan with sides.

Sprinkle with the oil and the spices, turning to coat the tomatoes evenly.

2. Bake 2 1/4 to 2 1/2 hours, basting and turning the tomatoes several times, until their color deepens to dark red.

Don’t let them brown; nor allow the garlic to brown, it will turn bitter.

3. Transfer the tomatoes and their juice, the oil, garlic and onions into a blender or the bowl of a food processor. Blend until smooth. Or mash the ingredients with a potato masher until smooth. Allow tomatoes to sit for 20-30-minutes to mellow.

4. Reheat soup on the stove or in a microwavable bowl for 2-3 minutes.

You can freeze this soup for up to 3 months. Serves 4-6. *** Angela Shelf Medearis is an award-winning children’s author, culinary historian and the author of seven cookbooks.

Being prepared for the unexpected in an uncertain time KOHLER GENERATORS BEST IN CLASS A Division of H.K.Heating Inc.

Reliable Power When You Need It! SALES • SERVICE • INSTALLATION 401-397-3316 • Harold Kitchen 114 Hopkins Hollow Rd. • Greene, RI 02827 • MPF1/MR2 #6377

by Jennifer Coates When Harry Kitchen incorporated Green Way Power seventeen years ago, his company had a motto that is more relevant today than ever. That motto read: “Don’t wait until it’s too late!� As we consider the unusual circumstances of today’s global crisis, we can see how critical prevention and preparation are to surviving difficult times. Being prepared for unseen disruptions in our lives can bring us great peace of mind.

Having a generator is one of the smartest things you can do to prepare for the unknown. Every New Englander knows that the weather here is unpredictable and can change in a moment, leaving us with downed trees and power lines which can cut off our power sources for days on end. The costs involved in this loss of power are immeasurable – no refrigeration for food or needed medicines, no AC in the hot, humid summer or no heat in the winter resulting in unlivable homes and burst pipes. A generator is the only true safeguard against all these possible outcomes.

Green Way Power is a family-run and operated business that has been providing residents throughout Rhode Island with generators, transfer switches, accessories and monitoring systems for over two decades. While installing and repairing generators is Harry Kitchen’s primary work now, his career actually started in the heating and cooling industry back in 1987. Over those years of serving Rhode Islanders, Harry has become known for his dependability, honesty, professionalism, outstanding workmanship and superior customer service.

Harry knows that his customers are his livelihood and so their satisfaction is of utmost importance to him.

Since 2003, Green Way Power has expanded from an HVAC

business to include the generator-installation business it is today.

Harry is an official “Kohler Generator Dealer�. Kohler Generators are some of the highest rated generators on the market and Harry chose them because of their reputation as “generators that are built to last.� They are known for their reliable and powerful performance. Harry will come to your home to determine the size of the Kohler generator that would best fit your family’s needs ~ whether they power your whole home or just the “necessities.� We are talking heat, AC, fridge, freezer, sump pump, security systems, to name a few. He will then work with all involved parties to get your generator installed

The first signs of spring are everywhere. Maybe you are noting them on your family calendar with your kids. Crocuses and daffodils poking up through dry leaves and songs of returning birds. Even in places where there aren’t mittens and woolen hats to put away, the first, fresh spring breezes and longer days of sunshine trigger an upsurge in spirit.

While you might not yet have blossoms on tree branches or forsythia in bloom, you can still enjoy creating a whimsical spring “branch” bouquet bursting with colorful pom-pom “blooms.” All ages, including preschoolers, love to collect sticks and fallen branches while outdoors for a walk this time of year. Bring them home for the basics of this easy and fun do-together activity.

You’ll also want to purchase a bag of inexpensive colorful pom-poms at your dollar or craft store, grab a bottle of squeezable household white glue from your cupboard, and a container for arranging the sticks inside, and you’re ready to create an eye-catching centerpiece that says “Spring!”

Here’s the stuff you’ll need: — 5 branches about 20 inches long, preferably with short branches that fork half way.

— garden shears for trimming the branches (optional).

— vase or clean jar with labels removed, 6-8 inches tall.

— chunk of floral foam to fit snugly inside the container (optional).

— package of craft pom-poms in assorted colors (available in quantities of 80-100 at craft and dollar stores).

— white household glue in a squeeze bottle.

Here’s the fun: 1. An adult may trim the branches for a balanced arrangement when placed in the container. Depending on the branches you use, you may wish to set a chunk of floral foam in the base of your container before arranging, to stabilize the branches.

2. Squeeze glue onto the outer tip of a branch. Lightly pinch a pom-pom onto the glue, and hold for a few seconds to set. Continue gluing pom-poms on all the tips, using a variety of colors, and then add more randomly — a pink one here and yellow one there. Note how they cluster snugly where buds are developing. Let glue dry.

3. Set on a table or mantel for a cheery spring bouquet.

TIP: For a contemporary decorator look, paint the branches white or gray, and let dry before arranging and gluing on pom-poms.

EXTRA IDEA: Make a pom-pom “floral” style bouquet for a friend.

Collect seven thin 10-inch sticks.

Glue one large pom-pom at the end of each one. Bundle and tie together with twine and a gift tag. *** Donna Erickson’s award-winning series “Donna’s Day” is airing on public television nationwide.

Q:

A: Whirligigs scare the birds for a while, then birds seem to realize the moving parts are not dangerous, and they will eat birdseed on the ground nearby. But they do scare wild rabbits.

The first were made as early as 500 B.C. by American Indians. These were made from a bone and a strip of leather.

A modern version of the whirligig has a button that spins with string. A large button with holes can be made to spin so fast that it makes a noise, and these are called buzzers or bullroarers. A more complicated whirligig is the Chinese bamboo-copter or dragon butterfly that was made in China by 400 B.C. These are pictured in some early tapestries.

The most often seen whirligig is the wind-driven pinwheel. Folk-art collectors like the homemade whirligigs that show a hen pecking, a soldier fighting or a woman waving her arms. Or the ones with two men sawing wood. These became very popular in the 1880s to 1900, and they are still being made. They are one of the newest types of folk art to become popular

Š 2020 King Features Synd., Inc.

King Features Weekly Service

What is a whirligig? Some move on a windy day like pinwheels. Some are moving toys, for example a man chopping wood. Many are moving garden pieces such as people chopping wood or waving a flag. The experts say there four types of whirligigs.

with collectors, and prices have been rising. Some sold for over $1,000, even though they were very crude.

A 26-inch-high primitive carved and painted wood and iron whirligig with a blond woman waving both arms while standing next to a red, white and blue ball sold for $308 at a Skinner auction.

The paint was worn, the arms and legs were stiff, and there was little motion, but it did look like it was homemade. *** I have a 22-piece chocolate set in excellent condition. It’s marked with an “R,� “Bavaria, Germany� and “warranted 18 carat gold.� Each plate has a 1-inch border of gold, the cups are gold and the pitcher with lid is gold. Does the gold trim make it very valuable?

The gold trim does not mean it’s very valuable. The words “18 carat gold� indicate the alloy used for the gold trim is 75 percent gold, but there is very little gold used on the porcelain. A chocolate set should have a pot, creamer, sugar, six small plates, and six cups and saucers. It would sell for less than $50. *** CURRENT PRICES Gibson Girl vase, purple dress, feather hat, Royal Bayreuth, gold brocaded border, green ground, 5 1/2 inches, $35.

Tea Leaf Ironstone vegetable dish, lid, rectangular, copper luster, molded handles, c. 1885, 10 x 7 inches, $135.

Shirvan rug, directional, repetitive flowers, beige ground, brown border, guard borders, 4 feet, 1 inch x 3 feet, 2 inches, $215.

Pencil sharpener, Jupiter Pencil Pointer, rotary cutter disc, Guhl & Harbeck Co., 1897, 5 x 13 inches, $355. *** TIP: Don’t try to restore, repaint, clean or touch up colored metal bookends. It will lower the value to remove any of the paint or to cover it with new paint.

How to clean when faced with a shortage of supplies In light of concerns about COVID-19, various health organizations have issued specific instructions on how to maintain personal safety and cleanliness. These recommendations involve using common household products to sanitize homes, offices and public spaces. As people take such precautions, many are stocking up on extra essentials — resulting in shortages.

Everything from hand sanitizers to paper towels may be hard to find on grocery store shelves, leaving some to wonder what they can do to remain safe without sanitizers?

The Environmental Protection Agency states that coronaviruses are some of the easiest types of viruses to kill because they have an envelope around them that enables them to merge with other cells and infect them. If that protective coating can be disrupted, the virus can’t do its job. For those having trouble finding well-known cleaning agents, these alternatives may suffice.

Hot water and soap The reason hand-washing is at the top of the list of sanitizing methods is because it is so effective at washing away viruses and bacteria. Friction from scrubbing with soap and water can help break the protective envelope, states the EPA. Soap and water can clean all surfaces in a home, especially when

applying a little extra elbow grease.

Hydrogen peroxide As people clear isopropyl (rubbing alcohol) off the shelves, do not discount hydrogen peroxide.

The CDC says household hydrogen peroxide at 3 percent concentration can deactivate rhinovirus, the virus that causes the common cold, within six to eight minutes of contact. Coronavirus is easier to destroy than rhinovirus, so hydrogen peroxide may be effective at combatting that virus as well.

Natural items can be used for general cleaning, but have not been endorsed for use on COVID-19 disinfection. In lieu of shortages, white vinegar, baking soda pastes and citrus oils and juices could fill the void of chemically-based cleansers for other home tasks.

By Lucie Winborne • Artist Salvador Dali had a unique way of occasionally avoiding the bill for drinks and meals — he would draw on the checks, making them priceless works of art and, therefore, uncashable.

• The governor of China’s Hunan Province banned Lewis Carroll’s “Alice in Wonderland” because he believed that animals should not be given the power to use the language of humans, and to put animals and humans on the same level would be “disastrous.”

• When the ancient Greeks staged plays, their costumes enabled audiences to identify characters. Tragic actors wore raised platform shoes called buskins to symbolize their superiority over comic actors, who would wear plain socks.

• A researcher in Madagascar was so interested in sand flea development that she let one of the bugs live inside her foot for two months.

• George Washington died after his doctors removed 40% of his blood (80 ounces) over a 12-hour period to cure a throat infection. While critics have claimed for decades that he was bled to death, the exact cause of his demise is still debated among scholars.

• The longest time between the births of twin siblings is 87 days. Amy Ann Elliot debuted prematurely on June 1, 2012, and Kate Marie Elliot followed on Aug. 27, at Waterford Regional Hospital in County Waterford, Ireland.

• When the mummy of Ramses II was sent to France in the mid-1970s, it was issued a passport. Ramses’ occupation? “King (deceased)”!

• In the early stage version of “The Wizard of Oz,” Dorothy’s faithful companion, Toto, was replaced by a cow named Imogene.

• Enjoy looking after kids? Consider attending Kentucky’s Sullivan University, where you can major in nannying. *** Thought for the Day: “Love is much like a wild rose, beautiful and calm, but willing to draw blood in its defense.” — Mark Overby

RhodyRealEstate Which Home Upgrades Are Worth It and Which Aren’t

• Worth it: a bigger rug.

Going bigger is actually a trick some real estate moguls have been known to use.

Ergo, since the goal is to make the room seem more spacious.At least some buyers • Not worth it: upscale bathroom will judge the size of a room based on the remodeling. Want an easy way to save size of the rug. A nice Oriental one perhaps? $60,000 or so?

The reasons are pretty obvious: The weather is (cross your fingers) nicer, the holidays are a distant memory, and families with kids prefer to relocate before the start of a new school year.

call the roof the ultimate curb enhancer: If buyers like what they see, you’re halfway home; if they don’t, they may look for even more things to hate and certainly won’t be quick to open their wallets. Or, as Remodeling magazine says about curb appeal: “The impact these impressions make is critical in setting the stage for what a buyer is willing to pay for a home.”

If your roof needs replacing, check out the best-selling Timberline roofing shingle line from GAF (gaf.com), North America’s largest roofing manufacturer. The shingles have the look of luxury at a very affordable price.

And remember: Don’t be afraid to use a new roof as the “negotiating tool” with buyers that Credit.com says it is.

Stage your home to make a positive first impression

By DEVON PARK You only get one chance to make a first impression. So, when it comes time to sell your home, why wouldn’t you do everything you can to ensure your marketing plan starts off on the right foot?

The fact is, some homeowners are hesitant to get their home staged; considering it an additional cost, rather than the investment that it truly is. But just as you wouldn’t wear sweatpants to a job interview, your home should be ‘’dressed’ to reflect its true potential before putting it out there for sale.

At its core, home staging is the act of preparing a home for sale to increase a property’s perceived value. By eliminating clutter, creating a natural flow from room to room, highlighting architectural features and minimizing imperfections, a home will show at its best. The result is increased buyer traffic and a faster sale, thanks to more and higher offers. In fact, according to the National Association on Realtor’s 2019 Report on Home Staging, 39 percent of selling agents received ■

5 outdoor projects that add value

Exterior renovations can enhance the appearance of a property and make it more enjoyable for homeowners. Certain renovations have the potential to add value to a home, while others may do the opposite.

Learning which one have the largest return on investment can help homeowners select features that will have the most positive impact.

Curb appeal goes a long way toward attracting potential buyers. According to the National Association of Realtors, first impressions of a property have a

â– Stage

to a room and when giving your tours, make sure the back of a sofa or chair is never facing a buyer. It should be easy to walk in and out of the space. This may require some furniture pieces to be moved to storage but when it comes to home staging, less furniture is usually more.

Fourth, make sure that each room has a clear and identifiable purpose.

Over time, it’s common that rooms lose their functionality. A bedroom may be turned into an office that becomes consumed with clutter so it’s essentially a storeroom. Arrange your home in such a way that buyers don’t have to use their imagination. The intention of the room should be clear.

And finally, bring a little life into your living spaces. Consider a large plant in the family room, a vase of flowers on the dining table, or maybe a bowl of lemons in the kitchen. Bringing in plant life helps to add a pop of color while inviting buyers to their potential new space.

If all this seems a little overwhelming, don’t hesitate to contact a professional home stager. Most stagers offer virtual home staging consultations. They will help you create a stepby-step plan and write a

offers up to ten percent higher when a home was staged compared to similar homes in the area that weren’t.

Understandably, the Coronavirus has changed the way people do business everywhere and real estate is no exception.

Realtors and their clients are now adjusting to new ways of marketing, relying on virtual showings and home tours to showcase their listings to an unlimited number of potential buyers. Thankfully, there’s a silver lining for sellers during the pandemic — increased time at home is time they can use to get their property market-ready. And the good news is, you don’t need to be a professional stager to enhance your home’s appeal. Five simple things can make a world of difference.

First and foremost, declutter and clean.

Prepack unnecessary knickknacks, collections and personal items. A few family photos can stay, but the gallery walls should probably go. It’s important for buyers to be able to envision themselves living in the space. Eighty-three percent of buyers have an easier time doing this when the home is staged versus a non-

staged home according to NAR’s report.

Second, make it neutral. Those purple walls aren’t going to appeal to everyone.

Spend some time giving them a fresh coat of paint. Light and neutral colors such as white, cream, beige or gray will appeal to the largest number of buyers. Plus, painting helps a home feel fresh, clean, and well maintained. It’s a small investment financially but it can yield tremendous results.

Third, furniture layout can have a huge impact.

With the correct layout, a room can feel larger than it really is. Place the furniture so that nothing is blocking the entrance

detailed report outlining furniture layout, prepacking lists and simple yet significant home improvements.

Remember that once your house hits the market, it’s no longer just your home, it’s a product that needs to be properly marketed for sale. A little time and money staging your home, can make a world of difference to your sale’s bottom line.

home owner is an attractive feature. NAR says such a care program can recover $1,000 in value of the $330 average cost, or a 303 percent ROI. • Low-maintenance lifestyle: When choosing materials for projects, those that offer low-maintenance benefits can be preferential. These include low-maintenance patio materials, composite decking, vinyl fencing, and inorganic mulched beds. • Fire pit: A fire pit can be used for much of the year. In the spring and summer, the firepit is a great place to congregate to roast marshmallows or sip wine and gaze into the fire. In the fall, the fire pit can make for a cozy retreat. A fire pit that has a gas burner is low-maintenance, and the National Association of Landscape Professionals says that most can recoup about $4,000 of their $6,000 average price tag. • Softscaping: Hardscaping refers to structures like outdoor kitchens or decks. Softscaping involves the living elements of the landscape. Hiring a landscape designer to install trees, shrubs, natural edging, and rock elements can do wonders toward improving the look and value of a home. • Pool or water feature: In certain markets, particularly hot climates, a pool or another water feature is a must-have. However, in other areas where outdoor time is limited, a pool or water feature can actually lower the value of a home. Speaking with a real estate professional can give homeowners an idea of how a pool will fare in a given neighborhood.

Outdoor improvements can improve the marketability of a home, as well as enhance its appearance and function. METRO

Life has certainly changed recently. Depending on where you live, it might have changed a lot. Stay home if you’re a senior. Stay home if you have a medical condition. That’s what we’ve been told.

That’s all well and good, but what if we really need to shop for food? What if we couldn’t stock up last week because the Social Security benefit hadn’t made it to our checking account yet?

If you’re really in a jam for food, call the food bank. Of all the places, that one is most likely to still be open.

They’re trying to keep people fed, especially seniors, as well as children who don’t get free meals because the schools are now closed. Ask if they have a drive-up pantry where you can be handed some bags of food through the car window. You might find that food is being distributed at places like the senior center or a school parking lot or via Meals on Wheels, even if you aren’t signed up as a participant.

If you do dare to enter a store, a number of grocery stores are designating the first hour or two in the morning for seniors only. Not all stores are doing this, so call first. If they don’t do it, suggest it. You’re more likely to find the things you need during this time as the shelves will (hopefully) be restocked overnight. And with fewer people in the store, you’re less likely to run into someone with the virus, but stay away from other people anyway.

If you go, be sure to take sanitizing wipes for the cart handles.

Remember, if you go out, you’re really not safe from the virus. Do it as little as possible.

Stay Fed, Stay Safe

King Features Weekly Service

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) A problem in getting a workplace project up and moving might upset the Lamb, who likes things done on time. But be patient. The delay could turn out to be a blessing in disguise.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Your instincts are usually on the mark, so if you feel uneasy about being asked for advice on a certain matter, it’s probably a good idea that you opt not to comply with the request.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You might have two minds about a proposed change (which often happens with the Twins), but once all the facts are in, you’ll be able to make a definitive decision. Good luck.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) The Crab’s frugal aspect dominates, so while you might be reluctant to pay for technical repairs, the time you save in getting things back on track could be well worth the expense.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) While you Leos and Leonas continue to concentrate on doing well in your work-related ventures this week, consider reserving the weekend for sharing good times with family and friends.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) This is a good week to take stock of the important personal, professional or familial relationships in your life and see where you might need to do some intense shoring up.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Your sense of justice makes you the likely person to help deal with a work- or family-related grievance.

But you need to have any doubts about anyone’s true agenda resolved first.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) The Scorpio passion for getting things done right and on time might rankle some folks. Never mind them.

Others will be impressed, and they’re the ones you want in your corner.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Finances could be a mite tight this week. And, while things will ease up soon enough, you savvy Sagittarians will want to keep a prudent eye on your expenses at this time.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Although a technical malfunction could cause a temporary delay in getting things up and running, you could use the time to recheck your operation and make changes where necessary.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) You might find it difficult to resist making a snap judgment about a colleague’s behavior. But stick with your usual way of assessing situations and wait for the facts to come out.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Asking for help with a family situation might be the wisest course to take right now. Just be sure you turn to someone you can trust to do and say the right thing for the right reasons.

BORN THIS WEEK: People see in you a born leader whom they can follow and put their trust in.

• On April 23, 1564, the great English dramatist and poet William Shakespeare is born in Stratford-upon-Avon, the son of a leather trader and the town bailiff. At age 18 he married Anne Hathaway, who was eight years his senior.

• On April 21, 1918, in the skies over France, Manfred von Richthofen, the notorious German flying ace known as “The Red Baron,” is killed by Allied fire. Richthofen was the top ace on both sides of the Western front, downing 80 enemy aircraft.

• On April 24, 1945, President Harry Truman learns the full details of the Manhattan Project, in which scientists are attempting to create the first atomic bomb. The project was so secret that the former vice president only learned of it after President Franklin Roosevelt’s death.

• On April 26, 1954, the Salk polio vaccine field trials, involving 1.8 million children, begin in McLean, Virginia. A year later, researchers announced the vaccine was safe and effective, and it quickly became a standard part of childhood immunizations in America.

• On April 22, 1970, Earth Day, an event to increase public awareness of the world’s environmental problems, is first celebrated in the U.S. Millions of Americans, including students from thousands of universities, participated in rallies, marches and educational programs.

• On April 20, 1980, the Castro regime announces that all Cubans wishing to emigrate to the U.S. are free to board boats at the port of Mariel west of Havana, launching the Mariel Boatlift. The first of 125,000 Cuban refugees from Mariel reached Florida the next day in about 1,700 boats, overwhelming the U.S. Coast Guard.

• On April 25, 1990, the crew of the U.S. space shuttle Discovery places the Hubble Space Telescope, a spacebased observatory about the size of a bus, into a low orbit around Earth. The solar-powered telescope remains in operation to this day.
