CENTRAL COVENTRY FIRE DISTRICT
FIRE WATER WIND
THE. TIME. IS. NOW.
Maybe you’ve forgotten the history of our District… It was bankrupt 8 years ago. Or, maybe you’re new to town and this is your first time having a Fire District…(PS – It was bankrupt 8 years ago due to mismanagement and lucrative and unsustainable employee contracts given away by the Firefighter controlled board.) Or, maybe you’ve thought everything was going well (It was… until now…) Read all about it on our website www.ccfdri.com. The District is headed for “déjà vu all over again” don’t let it happen! YOU approve the District’s budget. YOU approve firefighters contracts. YOU elect a Board of Directors to represent…who? YOU and the District’s best interests, or the firefighter’s financial interests? It’s YOUR decision. Get INFORMED…ASK questions…Let your VOICE be heard…VOTE…

The Miracle Prayer
(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. C.P.
Dear Heart of Jesus: In the past, I have asked many favors. This time, I ask you this very special one. Take it Dear Heart of Jesus and place it within your own broken heart, where your father sees it. Then, in your merciful eyes, it will become your favor, not mine. Say this prayer for 3 days, promise publication and your favor will be granted no matter how impossible. Thank you also to the Divine Mercy.

Novena to the

Say this little prayer (6) times a day for (9) consecutive days, your prayer will be answered before the 9th day, no matter how impossible it may seem to you. Don’t forget to thank the Sacred Heart. Publication promised. Many favors received. Thank you.

Q:
I really miss the original “Sopranos” series on HBO, and I’m very excited there’s going to be a new one — a prequel, they say. Who is going to be in it, and when will it air? — B.V. “The Many Saints of Newark” is a prequel to the critically acclaimed mob series “The Sopranos,” but it’s not a new series, it’s a movie. It’s produced and co-written by the original series creator, David Chase, who was widely criticized for his vague, anticlimactic series finale to such an acclaimed drama. Hopefully this motion picture will appease fans since a real sequel isn’t possible due to the untimely death of the show’s star, James Gandolfini. The cast of “Many Saints” is stellar with such talent as Ray Liotta (“Goodfellas”), Leslie Odom Jr. (“Hamilton”) and Vera Farmiga (“Bates Motel”). According to Deadline.com, the film is “set in the era of the Newark riots in the 1960s, and focuses on Dickie Moltisanti (played by Alessandro Nivola), the father of Michael Imperioli’s original-series Christopher Moltisanti and a mentor to young Tony (Michael Gandolfini) as his own father, Johnny Boy, was grooming his son for organized crime prominence.” Michael Gandolfini was only 14 when his father, James, died of a heart attack, and now he’s paying tribute to him as the young Tony Soprano. It’ll be hard to top the original classic of “The Sopranos,” which won armfuls of Emmys during its reign on HBO, but perhaps it will be another classic film up there with Martin Scorsese’s epics. It’s set to premiere Oct. 1. *** I saw a red-carpet photo of Sean Penn and his daughter. She looks so much like her mother, Robin Wright. Is she an actor like her parents? — P.H. At 5-feet-7-inches tall, 30-yearold Dylan Frances Penn is indeed a clone of her mother, Robin Wright, especially when Robin played Buttercup in the classic Rob Reiner film “The Princess Bride.” Like her mom, Dylan started out modeling

before transitioning into acting. She currently stars in dad Sean Penn’s new film “Flag Day,” along with her brother Hopper Penn, who resembles his dad. Sean directs and stars in the movie, which according to Yahoo! News, is about “a real-life wheeler-dealer who lurches from one failed business venture to another, causing heartbreak for daughter Jennifer, who reveres him.” Dylan accompanied her dad to the movie at the Cannes Film Festival, which earned them a standing ovation at the conclusion of their film.

Q:
I was sorry to see that Yaya DaCosta’s character nurse April won’t be on “Chicago Med” anymore. I’ve been watching her on TV since she was on “America’s Next Top Model.” What’s next for her? — C.K. While the “Chicago” shows — “Chicago Med,” “Chicago Fire” and “Chicago P.D.” — are big hits and will be back this fall, DaCosta was ready to vacate her supporting role after six years. A meatier role was quickly offered in the upcoming Lee Daniels’ Fox drama “Our Kind of People.” Daniels previously directed DaCosta in the film “The Butler” and also is the creative force behind the hit Fox series “Empire.” Send me your questions at NewCelebrityExtra@gmail.com, or write me at KFWS, 628 Virginia Drive, Orlando, FL 32803.

TAKE-OUT & DELIVERY
visit our website 1670 MAIN STREET for full menu WEST WARWICK
401-744-0311 by Jennifer Coates When Peter Caswell, the founder and owner of Rhode Island Shellfish Co., chose the catchphrase “Seriously Fresh Fish” to describe his West Warwick-based business, he wasn’t messing around. He wasn’t lying either. RI Shellfish Co. literally uses seafood straight off the docks, fresh out of the waters of the Atlantic. “Shore to Door” is their motto! Everything that Caswell sells, and everything he serves, is harvested or caught fresh every day. This is a promise he makes, and one he keeps. Today, RI Shellfish Co. is visited by loyal fans and newcomers alike. All come for Peter’s outstanding fresh shellfish and for his prepared dishes which, like the seafood and shellfish they are made of, are prepared fresh to go (many of these dishes are also available frozen so you can keep them for a later date!) Caswell’s specialty: anything to do with his favorite, locally-sourced quahogs. It has become one of Caswell’s personal missions to showcase the quahogs many varied preparations, including his famous, hand-shucked, handstuffed, mouth-watering “Stuffies.” Peter’s Stuffies join a diverse and crowd-pleasing array of other shellfish options that are available for take-out. These include his famous crunchy, golden-brown Fish & Chips, its creamy New England Clam Chowder, indulgent Lobster Mac & Cheese, Fried Whole Belly Clams, Baked Scrod, a spicy Cajun Shrimp dinner and Clam Cakes. Don’t forget the delicately fried Pt. Judith Calamari served with banana peppers, sliced olives and butter wine sauce! There are also tacos at this seafood haven ~ Cajun Shrimp Taco, Blackened Cajun Cod Taco and Beer Battered Fish Tacos. If this isn’t enough to whet your palate, try RI Shellfish’s

Vintage but modern-looking plastic radios are popular with collectors today. The art deco design was popular when Bakelite was introduced as the first molded plastic used for radio cases, in 1933. But Bakelite was either brown or black, sometimes with a marbleized look, and customers wanted more color. In 1937, Catalin was a new plastic that was white or beige when used for a molded case. Red and a few other colors were also possible. The famous Fada radio used this plastic, but no one realized that the colors might fade.
• On Aug. 2, 1776, members of Congress affix their signatures to an enlarged copy of the Declaration of Independence. Fifty-six congressional delegates in total signed the document. John Dickinson of Pennsylvania and James Duane, Robert Livingston and John Jay of New York refused to sign. • On Aug. 3, 1861, the last entry of Charles Dickens’ serialized novel “Great Expectations” is published in his literary circular, “All the Year Round.” The novel tells the story of young Pip, a poor orphan who believes he will inherit a fortune. • On Aug. 6, 1890, at Auburn Prison in New York, the first execution by electrocution in history is carried out against murderer William Kemmler. When the current failed after 17 seconds, a second charge was required for two minutes before Kemmler was declared deceased. • On Aug. 5, 1914, the world’s first electric traffic signal is installed, in Cleveland, Ohio. It consisted of four pairs of red and green lights on corner posts. A gas traffic light, in 1860 in the U.K., exploded after being used for a month. • On Aug. 4, 1936, American Jesse Owens wins gold in the long jump at the Summer Olympics in Germany. It was the second of four gold medals Owens won in Berlin. Owens would win his third gold medal in the 200 meters the next day. • On Aug. 8, 1942, six German saboteurs who secretly entered the United States on a mission to attack its infrastructure are executed for spying. On June 12, the German team had buried explosives on Long Island to use later. On July 18, a second team had successfully landed in Florida. On Aug. 7, 1987, Lynne Cox braves the freezing waters of the Bering Strait to make the first recorded swim from the U.S. to the Soviet Union. Her swim took 2 hours and 16 minutes. © 2021 Hearst Communications, Inc. All Rights Reserved
This plastic Fada radio was made about 1941. It is alabaster color and about 6 by 10 by 6 inches. Now faded to a light green, it sold for $1,000.
Today, white cases have yellowed, and blue ones have turned dark green. The cases also shrink, crack and have other damage. But plastic scientists kept improving mixtures and manufacturing methods, and by the 1950s, other better and cheaper radios were made with new materials. Today one of the older plastic radios in good working condition sells for $440 to $1,000. This Fada Model 845XA sold at a Palm Beach Modern auction for $1,000, although it was never tested to see if it works. *** I bought a “personal wash set,” four pieces consisting of a chamber pot, pitcher and two smaller pieces. On the bottom they’re marked “Admiral V.P. Co.” I’ve searched online and can’t find
Q:
any information on the company or item. It’s a pretty floral pattern, purple flowers on a white background, and is in very good shape. The seller thought the piece was made in the 1800s. Can you tell me anything about this set? Wash sets were used in the late 18th and early 19th centuries before indoor plumbing became common. A washstand, usually in the bedroom, held the items necessary to “wash up.” The pitcher was used to fill a washbasin or bowl. The chamber pot usually had a lid. Other pieces could include a soap dish, hair receiver, toothbrush holder and slop jar. This mark was used by Vodrey Pottery Company of East Liverpool, Ohio. The company made white graniteware and semi-porcelain. It was in business under that name from 1896 until 1928. A pitcher and bowl set from an average maker sells for $100 to $150, the slop jar with lid for about $75, and small pieces for $25-$40. *** CURRENT PRICES Tortoise shell glass powder jar, round, squat, lid with silver repousse decoration, c. 1900, 2 1/2 x 3 inches, $80. Wood glove-making form, carved birch wood, mitten shape, tombstone style base, Gloversville, N.Y., c. 1910, 14 x 3 1/2 in., 6 pieces, $405. Toy, bus, Seeing New York 899, open air, 4 passengers, driver, cast iron, 6 1/2 x 10 1/2 inches, $860. Lamp, electric, Tripod, T. Robsjohn Gibbings, chrome, steel, 3 supports, center band, tapered linen shade, Widdicomb, c.1950, 47 x 19 inches, pair, $1,875. *** TIP: Never store rhinestone jewelry in a plastic bag.

The Movies That Made Us, Season 2 — There was a time when the phrase “Run, Forrest, Run!” meant nothing, and the idea of a time machine built out of a DeLorean seemed a ridiculous notion. But for GenX viewers, it is hard to remember life before these big-screen gems that were so much a part of our formative years. Playing to our love for pop culture nostalgia, this docuseries reveals more behindthe-scenes insight for some of the biggest films of the 1980s and 1990s. Through interviews with members of production crew, each 50-minute episode highlights one movie’s lifespan from creation to its lasting legacy. Films highlighted this season include “Forrest Gump,” “Jurassic Park,” “Pretty Woman,” and “Back to the Future.” (Netflix) Schmigadoon! — When a young couple take a hike in the woods to discuss the status of their relationship, they magically and mistakenly find themselves stuck in another land called Schmigadoon. It’s a weird but overly happy land where everything is oldtimey musical theater. The couple cannot leave Schmigadoon until they find true love — either with each other or with someone new. It’s sort of like “The Wizard of Oz” meets “Pleasantville,” as played by “Saturday Night Live” alumni. The six-episode series stars Cecily Strong and Keegan-Michael Key as the couple, but supporting cast Kristin Chenoweth and Alan Cumming keep it interesting. (Apple TV+) Golden: The Journey of USA’s Elite Gymnasts — Before the 2021 Summer Olympics commence, rev up your enthusiasm for Team USA with this six-part docuseries. In a profile of five top contenders among the mighty women of gymnastics, watch as they train during the pandemic, battle the mental and physical tolls of this highly competitive sport, and face the National Team selection committee. They
have only one chance to be perfect ... who will come out on top? (Peacock) Through Our Eyes — Intended for adult viewers and accompanied children aged 9 and older, this docuseries is the first from Sesame Workshop. It unpacks and explores some of today’s toughest social issues through the perspectives of children. The fourpart series shows how these kids are directly affected by each issue, rather than simply discussing them on a rhetorical level. Parental incarceration, family homelessness perils and various localized effects of climate change are covered. Sesame Workshop aims to build empathy for families in crisis through the series and assure those experiencing hardships that they are not alone. (HBO Max)

Dog Days of Summer! A person’s desire to be outdoors can sometimes be at odds with the outdoors itself. The dead of winter tends to be a time of year when people know to stay indoors, but the dog days of summer can be dangerous as well. Heat-related diseases like dehydration can put lives at risk. According to Johns Hopkins Medicine, children and people over the age of 60 are particularly susceptible to dehydration. Understanding dehydration and how to prevent it is essential for anyone who plans to spend time outside during the summer. What is dehydration? The U.S. National Library of Medicine notes that a dehydrated body does not have enough fluid and electrolytes to work properly. On an average day, the human body needs about three quarts of water. But the USNLM notes that anyone planning to spend time outside in the hot sun needs significantly more water than that to avoid dehydration. What are the signs of dehydration? Johns Hopkins Medicine notes that people experience dehydration differently. However, there are some common symptoms that indicate someone is dehydrated.
Prevent Dehydration During the Dog Days Of Summer These symptoms include: • thirst • less frequent urination • dry skin • fatigue • light-headedness • dizziness • confusion • dry mouth and mucous membranes • increased heart rate and breathing. Children who are dehydrated may exhibit additional symptoms, including dry mouth and tongue; no tears and crying; no wet diapers for several hours; sunken abdomen, eyes or cheeks; listlessness; irritability; and skin that does not flatten when pinched and released.
How to prevent dehydration Drinking plenty of fluids when working or playing in the sun is one way to prevent dehydration. Being sure to take in more fluid than you are losing is another way to prevent dehydration. Anyone, and especially people who sweat a lot, should keep a close eye on fluid loss when spending time outdoors in the summer. Sports drinks that help people maintain their electrolyte balance, such as Gatorade, can help prevent dehydration as well. Pedialyte is often recommended for sick infants or children who have experienced vomiting, as it can help restore electrolyte balance that was adversely affected when kids became sick. The solution can be equally effective at restoring electrolyte balance that was thrown off during heat exposure. Dehydration poses a significant health risk at any time of year, but people who spend time out in the summer heat may be especially vulnerable. Limiting time spent outdoors on hot days and keeping a close eye on your fluid intake and fluid levels can help prevent dehydration. TF197101

Woke Baby Names for Political Junkies Recently I came across a phrase in an opinion column that sent me to Google to understand it. It was something like “Jones for Internet.” To me, Jones had always been someone’s surname. Or someone middle class folks tried to keep up with. Turns out, today “Jones” is a craving for something, or an addiction, especially heroin. In the opinion piece, it seemed to be about notoriety. Bad enough we had to get used to common nouns that are now babys’ names, like Apple (Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin’s girl), Blue Ivy (Beyoncé and Jay Z’s bundle of joy), and Fuschia, (Sting’s color-competitive daughter with Frances Tomelty). Now we have to keep updated on “normal” people’s names that have completely different meanings. As long as we’re subjected to this name muddle, I’ve put together a list of woke baby names (and corresponding nicknames) for parents who are Jones on politics.
for bumper stickers and rear windshields to remind everyone how important it is to de-escalate.
Filibuster Nicknames Filly if it’s a girl; Buster if it’s a boy This term has always stirred up controversy, so it’s a terrific choice for parents who want to annoy those in their political circle who hold views contrary to their own. The boy’s nickname is especially appropriate.
Finally, here are two suggestions for sets of twins, a more and more common occurrence, especially for older couples using in vitro fertilization.
Cancel Culture Nickname Ceci (pronounced see-see) A timely name for 2021, and another choice that will stir up controversy if that’s what floats the parents’ boat. The nickname will help the child make friends at school, especially with those who are Latinx. They’ll assume you’re always agreeing with them. Gerry Mandering Nickname G-Man This is one of my favorite woke names. It’s a great unisex name. It has the benefit of allowing a girl to go by just Gerry, if she doesn’t warm to being called a G-man.
Hegemony Nickname Heggy This choice should be favored by far right advocates of white male supremacy. It’s much subtler than naming your kid Nazi and more pleasant sounding than Boogaloo. It will generate less conflict, since most folks won’t know what hegemony means anyway. Stare Decisis Nickname Steady Those who are obsessed with Supreme Court cases and concerned about the rightward tilt of the current bench should like this name. It suggests having a steady hand on the tiller, following legal precedents for issues decided in the past.
Ear-Mark and Pork-Barrel Nicknames Emmy and Pibble These names are inspired by the budget appropriations process. Items get added to a bill that have nothing to do with the budget’s primary purpose. They’re allowed in because earmarks bring the pork back home for the legislators who otherwise would refuse to vote in favor of the bill. The nicknames are especially appropriate. Legislators are often deserving of Emmy awards for their oratory. They’ve also been known to behave like pit bulls to get what they want. If only they were as cute as Pibbles…
Budget Reconciliation Nickname Budgie Ree Another timely name for 2021, guaranteed to be a favorite of Democrats who have given up trying to get bipartisan support. Which brings us to the next entry.
Disen and Franchise Nicknames Dizzy and Frankie These two come into play in 2021 because of all the statewide changes to voter registration rules. Republicans insist these will make voting safer and reduce fraud. Democrats claim all these changes are simply ways to disenfranchise voters of color. Frankly (Frankie), the back and forth on this is leaving many of us Dizzy.
Bipartisan Nickname Bippa (pronounced like Pippa, Kate Middleton’s sister) Another favorite of Democrats, especially those who feel Biden is being dissed by Mitch McConnell. Parents who chose this name should definitely not use Bi as a nickname. Sexual orientation is too complicated already these days.
No doubt many of you have already thought of more woke names to add to this list. I have ten alternates that I didn’t use. I decided this list would provide more than enough choices for woke parents. I assumed that adding more would just put the rest of us to sleep. Maybe that wouldn’t have been so bad after all.
Infrastructure Nickname Inf (kind of like Alf the alien) This name should have a long shelf life. Infrastructure projects take years to complete. And they don’t begin until a bill has been passed (and signed) to provide their funding. Enough said.

De-escalation Nickname Decal De-escalation has come into its own in 2021 because of all the police involved shooting deaths. Get some decals made

SENIOR ISSUES by LARRY GRIMALDI
Ten Ordinary Things I Never Mastered For most people, ordinary tasks are accomplished without stress or excessive physical exertion. They are performed with precision and efficiency born of natural ability and constant repetition. For many of us however, some of these everyday chores present formidable challenges. It’s with a measure of embarrassment and considerable humility that I’ve come to realize, in spite of my 70 plus decades, I’ve never learned some very basic skills. With these realizations in mind, I reveal Ten Ordinary Things I Never Mastered. I never mastered the art of tying double knots in my shoe laces. My sneakers sport huge loops and long strands flopping over the tongues. I can’t explain why shoe manufacturers string laces exceeding the length of a Brazilian rain forest anaconda into sneakers with only six eyelet holes on each side. Thus far, I have miraculously avoided broken ankles or other not-so-easily explained injuries. I have never mastered the art of folding shirts correctly. My bureau drawer contains several top-secret versions of creative folding techniques. When we travel, I hide my shirts at the bottom of the suitcase to camouflage my unique methodologies from my
wife. The deception is much easier than trying to explain my system or motivation. I have never mastered the skills required to program remote controls and other electronic devices. I have officially ceded this chore to my wife because she has endless patience and an admirable optimism that she will eventually succeed. Twice a year, she expertly and effortlessly adjusts the digital clocks in our cars for daylight savings and standard times. I have never discovered the secret codes necessary to complete online applications. Even after careful and deliberate observation of the rules (and despite being aided by pre-populated entries), I am always put on notice for committing multiple errors, (and potential legal misdemeanors) when I hit the “Submit” button. The error messages are displayed in strident, large, red-letter reprimands. In most cases, I abandon the quest so as not to risk additional embarrassment, frustration, or potential apprehension by cyber police. I have never mastered the skills needed for step-by-step assembly. First of all, most “assembly required,” step-by-step merchandise contains far too many steps and far too much assembly. Secondly, I believe the “steps”
are written by devious company employees who revel in the images of mechanicallychallenged civilians like me attempting to decipher their byzantine directions and befuddling diagrams. I have developed a series of strategies to combat this problem. First, I try to purchase the already-assembled floor model. Next, I plead ignorance (which is true) and ask the vendor to assemble the item. Third, I agree to make the purchase only if my wife agrees to assembly. My newest strategy is to invoke a ban on items that may be delivered or purchased unassembled. I have yet to test this edict and will admit that it has no chance of being enforced. Despite numerous practice sessions and countless hours spent watching instructional videos, I have never mastered the art of the chip shot. My golf scores will attest to this flaw (among others) in my game. I have never mastered the skill, nor acquired the courage necessary, to keep my head under water while snorkeling. I rapidly run out of air. My breathing pattern while snorkeling is a series of desperate gasps. Accordingly, I resort to brief underwater plunges and hope that a few brightly colored tropical fish will understand my deficiencies and obligingly swim by me for a glance.
I can never remember which clothes are washed in hot water and which need to be washed in cold water. The truth be told, this alleged brain cramp has enabled me to avoid this chore for more than 50 years. Perhaps due to my short attention span, I have ALMOST never mastered the skill of trimming the hedges without severing the extension cord. My ineptitude has kept employees of electric supply houses busy over the years. As if you have not already guessed, number one on the list of Ten Ordinary Things I Never Mastered is patience. I’m convinced that when The Good Lord distributed this coveted characteristic, I didn’t bother to wait around for my allocation. I have made and broken numerous resolutions to work on my patience. With the required work on this virtue, I could no doubt pare down the list of the previous nine Ordinary Things. All it would take is countless repetition of the mantra, “Take a breath and take your time.” Wish me luck. Larry Grimaldi is a freelance writer living in North Providence.

Bite into these hot dog facts! Hot dogs are the yin to the hamburger’s yang. Franks and burgers are a common pair at barbecues and ballparks, and rightfully so. Handheld, portable meals, they pack a convenient and flavorful punchy.Few foods may seem as American as hot dogs. However, hot dogs are derivative of European sausages. This fact and more can shed light on the humble hot dog, which is sure to find its way to a grill near you this summer. • Mental Floss says it’s pretentious to consume a hot dog with utensils. Hot dog etiquette experts also insist adults should not top their hot dogs with ketchup, which they suggest is a topping strictly reserved for children. • Hot dogs are often associated with New York City. However, hot dogs gained popularity across the country in the 20th century. • Hot dogs are often called frankfurters. This refers to Frankfurt, Germany, where pork sausages similar to hot dogs are believed to have originated. • Hot dogs were given their name by cartoonist Tad Dorgan. He observed a vendor selling “hot dachshund sausage dogs” during a baseball game at New York City’s Polo Grounds. As legend has it, Dorgan couldn’t spell the name of the dog, instead writing
OVEN-FREE SUMMER DINNER IDEAS
Mid- to late-summer is appropriately known as “the dog days of summer” because it can be so doggone hot. The humid, sticky conditions of late summer can make people feel sluggish and looking for ways to cool down. The idea of warming up the house by turning on the oven to cook a meal may be especially unappealing.Recipes that require little to no cooking — and no stove — can be a home cook’s best friend as summer progresses. Here are a few ideas to get started.Grilled paninisGather some favorite sandwich fixings, such as sliced meats, vegetables and cheeses, and head to the grill. Put ingredients between two slices of crusty bread and place on the grill over low or indirect heat. Weigh down

only “hot dogs.” The name eventually caught on. • Despite several jokes as well as speculation regarding what hot dogs contain, hot dogs are cured and cooked sausages that contain mainly pork, beef, chicken, and turkey. The meats come from the muscle of the animals. If a product contains organ meats, it must be declared on the packaging. • In 1867, Charles Feltman made a cart with a stove on it, which he used to boil sausages. The cart also had compartments to keep buns fresh. Carts that sell hot dogs on the street are now seen in cities across the country. • Hot dogs are a NASA-approved food for astronauts. • While hot dogs are sold at many venues, data indicates that the popular convenience store chain 7-Eleven sells the most grilled hot dogs in North America, with 100 million sold annually. • Relish, sauerkraut and even ketchup are popular hot dog toppings. But mustard is by far the most popular. • Why are there typically 10 hot dogs per pack and only eight buns per bag? When hot dogs were first introduced, they were sold at varying quantities at the butcher shop. Hot dogs were eventually standardized to packages of 10, but buns are baked in clusters of four in popular pans designed to hold eight rolls.

Salads can range from tradition lettuce- or greens-based salads to pasta salads and chicken or tuna salads. Mix ingredients in advance and store them in the refrigerator. Serve chilled with toppings like shredded cheese, bacon bits and croutons to dress up the salads.Cold buffetSummer is a time to avoid hearty, belly-filling meals. Instead, produce a spread of finger foods, ranging from crackers and cheese to vegetables and dips.

MEMOIRS by SUSAN DEAN
Memoirs of Judy
Loving Friendship Eternal I was five months pregnant with my first baby when I met Judy. One Sunday my husband and I visited a neighborhood church. The first person who greeted me was Judy. She was short, thin, smallboned, and bird-like, with bright eyes that danced. She was an older lady. Older at that time meant she looked closer to my mother’s age than mine. I was 26 - Judy was 53. Judy radiated friendliness and welcoming acceptance. She came right over to me and introduced herself, asking about my pregnancy. She told me that she had four children, the youngest was 19. She laughed at that. No solemn comments about age or time gone by, or words of wisdom imparted on my upcoming birth experience. How happy she was to meet me. How happy she was for me in general. I remember thinking - how odd that this older lady extended herself to me. We joined the church and I joined the choir. Judy was in the choir, too. Eventually several of us from choir joined a community chorus. Five of us carpooled together every Monday night for rehearsals. Judy was the oldest in our little group of five - I was the youngest. One year, our chorus spent a summer weekend performing on Martha’s Vineyard. It was Judy’s idea to indulge in ice cream before our concert that first year. Ice cream for dinner became a tradition. The years passed and by the time this became an annual summer get-away I was in my thirties with three daughters. I was also divorced. Judy was in her sixties and widowed. Time went by and Judy and I continued to sing together. One summer our chorus hosted a girls’ chorus from Belgium. Judy and I waited with the girls while they boarded their bus to the airport on their last day. When all of the host families had left, Judy and I lingered, alone in the parking lot. The sun was beginning to set. Judy said, “We can’t just go home we need to do something. Let’s go to the beach.” “What will we do when we get there?” I asked. “I guess we’ll know when we get there,” Judy answered. “Let’s just go I’ll drive.” I had developed a back problem that morning. What began as a tweak had grown into a spasm that had gotten worse throughout the day. I would be fine one minute, then the next minute a twisting, searing pain would leave me speechless, gasping, and white-knuckled until it passed. Judy was sympathetic and told me she’d drive gently. I had to stop talking when a spasm came on and did lamaze breathing to get through it. It was very much like childbirth - Judy was my coach. Judy was from Michigan and had this very mid-western way of saying “golly” and “gee” all the time. “Golly, Susan, that must be painful,” she’d say. “I’m fine,” I’d answer through clenched teeth. “Oh, gee-golly, that looks like a bad one,” she’d say. We got to the beach and it was full dark, but the moon was rising. “Let’s walk on the beach,” Judy suggested. “It might help your back.”
“Should we?” I asked. “If we get into trouble I’m not going to be able to run away, never mind protect you.” “Well, I’m a lot older than you,” Judy answered. “And I can’t run either. So we’re each on our own to try to bumble away from anyone who wants to have their way with us.” We broke into laughter that sent me into another back spasm and Judy “golly gee-ing” all over the place. Full dark now, we stood watching the diamond sparkle of the moon on the crashing waves. Utter magic - the two of us in this vast universe - quiet now - me in my forties and Judy in her seventies, sharing this timeless moment - a billion bright stars above, the sound of the surf, moonlight dancing. When we started walking we began laughing again. “I suppose we should have brought flashlights,” Judy said. “I guess that wasn’t too smart of us,” I answered. “No, I guess not, but gee, this was fun!” Judy said and the laughter started up again. “I guess no one wanted to have their way with us,” Judy observed. “No, but what a pair we are,” I said. “Yes, I’m old you’re incapacitated - what a pair,” Judy said. We laughed all the way home. The years went by and our group of five car-poolers on Monday nights for chorus rehearsals dwindled to four, and then to three, and at times it was just Judy and me. Once, before an afternoon concert, Judy invited me to her house for lunch. After eating, I needed to change into my chorus outfit. Judy offered me her bedroom and it was homey, inviting, unpretentious, and real. I felt warm and comfy as I laid my concert clothes on her old-fashioned bedspread and dug my bare feet into her worn carpet. Her furnishings were old, but cared for, and I felt cared for, too. Judy was a stay-at-home mother to her four little ones. When I was pregnant with my third and my older two were 3 and 5, Judy told me about a time when her children were young. She was inside with the youngest, a newborn, and keeping an eye on the older ones in the backyard through the window. She watched the kids wallowing in the mud under their swing set. At the time, she thought, how will I get them all cleaned up before dinner when I’ve got the baby here, too? Judy smiled as she remembered that long-ago dilemma and then said, “But it really wasn’t all that big of a concern, was it? It was a small thing, looking back. I don’t think I ever did get the kids properly cleaned up that day.” I never really asked Judy for advice or about her life. She just told me things. She moved to Rhode Island from Michi-
gan as a young bride - knowing no one. She had two sisters and told me stories about what it was like being one of three girls. I have two brothers, and although I have three daughters, I could never really know what it was like to grow up in a family of girls. Judy, with her stories, gave me that perspective. When I remarried, Judy came to my wedding. I was invited to Judy’s 80th birthday party. Surrounded by family and friends, Judy treated everyone like an honored guest. Still full of “golly gees”, her small frame leaned forward ever so slightly, and her dark hair showed only traces of gray. Judy told me she never dyed her hair and I knew, without a doubt, that she was telling me the truth. In December, 2011, Judy drove the two of us to our Christmas concert dress rehearsal. We were going to be singing in a different venue and we both thought we knew where it was. “We can park in my hairdresser’s parking lot,” Judy said. “It’s right next to the church.” “Great,” I answered. Only we had the wrong church. The right church was “just up the road”, I was sure. “We can walk,” I said. “Unless you want to drive.” “No, no, let’s walk,” said Judy. It was pouring, cold, and windy and we only had one umbrella between us. It turned out to be a very long walk. The wind inverted our umbrella, whipped the rain into our faces, and sloshed over our shoes. It was dark, wet, and stormy. We laughed the whole way. At the end of the rehearsal, I asked Judy, “Should we ask someone to give us a ride back to the car?” “No,” said Judy. “Let’s walk.” So we bundled up again, shook out our old umbrella, and started out. “Golly, it’s really raining now,” Judy commented. Really raining? It was a hurricane - and this time the water was above our ankles and we were walking against the wind - heads bent to shield our faces. “Maybe this wasn’t such a good idea,” I shouted above the wind. I could only hear Judy laughing. We were still laughing when we reached the car. “What a pair we are, Judy,” I said. “We are a pair indeed,” she agreed. The following weekend Judy called and told me that she wasn’t going to sing in the concert because she wasn’t feeling well, but not to worry. She’d be fine. She thought she might come and listen, but I didn’t spot her in the audience. With our concerts finished for the sea-

son and rehearsals suspended for the winter break, Judy and I didn’t see each other for several weeks. But in January, 2012, I called Judy to see who was driving that next week as chorus rehearsals were set to begin. Judy told me that she wasn’t going to start the season just yet, that she had some medical issues she needed to deal with. Nothing serious, she assured me. Judy had always been healthy and fit - on no medications, unlike so many of her same-age friends. She told me once that the only pill she took regularly was a calcium supplement. Judy never came back to chorus. She had been diagnosed with colon cancer that had metastasized. She had surgery and treatment over a period of months that winter and spring and spent time in a nursing facility. Finally, she asked her family to take her home. That May my husband and I went to New Hampshire for a tennis weekend. It was my birthday and I wanted to spend it in the mountains doing something I loved, something active that I could still enjoy at age 59. It was a beautiful, busy, and fun-filled weekend. When we got home there was a message on my voicemail. Judy had died - on my birthday. She was a month short of 86. Everyone thought it was awful that Judy had died on my birthday. But it made me smile. I looked at it as a wink from Judy, a private joke between the two of us, a final goodbye, her last “golly gee”, and really, an honor. I was honored that she chose a day meaningful to me. There were 27 years between us in age. She was part of my mother’s generation. I was older than one of her daughters by three days. But the soft, gentle, and tender friendship that we shared for more than thirty years was solid and sustaining - held together by moments of laughter, shared experiences, and impromptu chats - never forced, hardly planned. Judy had an open heart and taught me to open mine. The opening of hearts is love in its purest form. A year after Judy’s death I had dinner with a friend and we were talking about people who had passed and about old times. I told my friend, “If I could hear from one person on the ‘Other Side’ - I’d like to hear from Judy.” Then we went on to other topics. The next day I pulled into the parking lot at work and slowed to say “hi” to Gus, the security guard at the gate, as I always do. “Hi, Gus,” I said. “Hi, Judy,” he answered. “Judy?? Where did that come from?” Gus asked as he came running out of the guard booth full of apology. Standing next to my car Gus said, “I don’t know why I called you Judy! I’m so sorry! I don’t even know anyone named Judy! I know you are Susan! Please, don’t mind me!” I could almost see Judy standing behind Gus, eyes dancing, laughing, and “golly gee-ing” all over the place. I could feel Judy’s heart touching mine just as I had felt its loving warmth through the years we shared together. And I knew, without a doubt, that true loving friendship never dies.

A Natural Solution for Summer Hydration
F
FAMILY FEATURES
un in the summer sun can mean anything from poolside play and outdoor exercise to simply relaxing in the shade. While these activities make the season special for people of all ages, the heat also leads to the inevitable: sweat. Electrolytes, critical for the human body to function, are lost via sweat throughout the day. Drinking plenty of fluids, such as water, helps keep you hydrated. However, adding 100% orange juice to your diet can help replace those lost electrolytes in addition to aiding hydration. According to a study published in the “Journal of Nutrition and Health Sciences,” drinking 100% orange juice following exercise contributes to hydration equally as well as water and sports drinks, making the beverage a viable alternative for recovery. “Electrolytes include nutrients such as potassium, sodium, magnesium and calcium,” said Dr. Rosa Walsh, scientific research director at the Florida Department of Citrus. “In fluids, these nutrients carry an electric charge, which allows muscles to contract and nerves to transmit signals, and are critical for the human body to function. Plain water contains few if any electrolytes, so you must replace lost electrolytes by consuming foods or beverages that contain these nutrients. Drinking fluids that contain both water and electrolytes, such as 100% orange juice, may help support hydration.” In fact, 100% orange juice contains about 90% water and can contribute to overall water intake. With no added sugar,
it’s an ideal way to support hydration by drinking it on its own or by adding it to recipes like this Healthy Broccoli Salad with Miso Orange Dressing or Pineapple Orange Smoothie. Consider these major electrolytes found in orange juice: n

Potassium: The major electrolyte within all cells, it helps balance fluid in the body with a strong relationship to sodium, the major electrolyte in the blood and outside the cells. Potassium is especially important for regulating heart rhythm and function. An 8-ounce glass of 100% orange juice provides 10% of the recommended daily value for potassium.
Pineapple Orange Smoothie
Servings: 2 1 cup Florida Orange Juice 1/2 cup plain almond milk 1 frozen banana 1 cup frozen pineapple 1 teaspoon turmeric 1 scoop walnuts 1/8 teaspoon cayenne 2-3 ice cubes 1 scoop plain protein powder (optional) In large blender, blend orange juice, almond milk, frozen banana, frozen pineapple, turmeric, walnuts, cayenne, ice cubes and protein powder, if desired, until smooth. Portion into two small glasses.
Magnesium: The fourth-most abundant mineral in the body and essential in the regulation of muscle contraction, cardiac excitability, blood pressure and other vital processes. An 8-ounce glass of 100% orange juice contains 6% of the recommended daily value for magnesium. Calcium: Found in fortified varieties of orange juice, calcium plays an important role in muscle contraction, nerve transmission and the contraction and relaxation of the cardiovascular system. As an excellent source of calcium, an 8-ounce serving of fortified orange juice provides 30% of the recommended daily value.

$226 million funding increase request for fiscal year 2023 The National Institutes of Health (NIH) today released their annual professional judgement budget for Alzheimer’s and dementia research, requesting an additional $226 million is needed in fiscal year 2023. The funding request was announced during the annual Advisory Council on Alzheimer’s Research, Care and Services meeting. “There is significant momentum in the fight against Alzheimer’s and other dementia, and the professional judgement budget underscores that leading scientists and researchers are committed to making critical strides that will lead to knowledge about prevention, more effective treatments, and ultimately a cure,” said Robert Egge, Alzheimer’s Association Chief Public Policy Officer and Alzheimer’s Impact Movement (AIM) Executive Director. “We are grateful that Congress has worked in a bipartisan fashion, and consistently recognized how vital it is that NIH receives the necessary investment required to accelerate progress against Alzheimer’s.” This is the seventh professional judgement budget for Alzheimer’s released by the NIH. In 2014, the Alzheimer's Association and AIM championed and secured support for the passage of the Alzheimer’s Accountability Act, which en-
sures Congress hears directly from NIH scientists on the resources needed to address the Alzheimer’s crisis. Alzheimer’s is only the third disease to have a professional judgement budget. Alzheimer’s research funding has seen a seven-fold increase since the passage of the National Alzheimer’s Project Act (NAPA) in 2011. Today, funding for Alzheimer's and dementia research at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) is $3.2 billion. With strong funding, scientists are able to work at a more rapid pace to advance basic disease knowledge, explore ways to reduce risk, uncover new biomarkers for early diagnosis and drug targeting, and develop potential treatments. Today more than 6 million Americans are living with Alzheimer's disease, and 11 million more providing unpaid care. And, at a cost of $355 billion a year, Alzheimer's is the most expensive disease in the nation. Alzheimer's Association The Alzheimer's Association leads the way to end Alzheimer's and all other dementia — by accelerating global research, driving risk reduction and early detection, and maximizing quality care and support. Our vision is a world without Alzheimer's and all other dementia®. For more information, visit www.alz.org or call the 24/7 Helpline at 800.272.3900.
Rhode Island Special Needs Emergency Registry Enrolling in the Special Needs Emergency Registry lets police, fire, and other first responders in your community better prepare for and respond to your needs during a hurricane, storm, or other emergency.

IRS reminds people to prepare for natural disasters The Internal Revenue Service reminds everyone that the hurricane season is already here to be in the alert. Now is the time to create or review emergency preparedness plans for surviving natural disasters. In the last year, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) declared major disasters following hurricanes, tropical storms, tornados, severe storms, flooding, wildfires, and an earthquake. Individuals, organizations, and businesses should take time now to make or update their emergency plans. Secure key documents and make copies Taxpayers should place original documents such as tax returns, birth certificates, deeds, titles, and insurance policies inside waterproof containers in a secure space. Duplicates of these documents should be kept with a trusted person outside the area of the taxpayer. Scanning them for backup storage on electronic media such as a flash drive is another option that provides security and portability. Document valuables and equipment Current photos or videos of a home or business’s contents can help support claims for insurance or tax benefits after a disaster. All property, especially expensive and high value items, should be recorded. The IRS disaster-loss workbooks in Publication 584 can help individuals and businesses compile lists of belongings or business equipment. Employers should check fiduciary bonds Employers who use payroll service providers should ask the provider if it has a fiduciary bond in place. The bond could protect the employer in the event of default by the payroll service provider. The IRS reminds employers to carefully choose their payroll service providers. Rebuilding documents Reconstructing records after a disaster may be required for tax purposes, getting federal assistance or insurance reimbursement. Those who have lost some or all their records during a disaster can visit IRS’s Reconstructing Records webpage as one of their first steps. IRS stands ready After FEMA issues a disaster declaration, the IRS may postpone certain taxfiling and tax-payment deadlines for taxpayers who reside or have a business in the disaster area. There is no need to call the IRS to request this relief. The IRS automatically identifies taxpayers located in the covered disaster area and applies filing and payment relief. Those impacted by a disaster with taxrelated questions can contact the IRS at 866-562-5227 to speak with an IRS specialist trained to handle disaster-related issues. Taxpayers who do not reside in a covered disaster area but suffered impact from a disaster should call 866-562-5227 to find out if they qualify for disaster tax relief and to discuss other available options. Find complete disaster assistance and emergency relief details for both individuals and businesses on our Around the Nation webpage on IRS.gov. The FEMA Prepare for Disasters web page includes information to Build a Kit of emergency supplies.

DOG DAYS OF SUMMER!
PROTECTING YOUR PETS IN HOT WEATHER
Warm weather brings many changes. Warm weather can make travel more enjoyable and affords people more time to comfortably enjoy the great outdoors. It’s best to keep safety in mind when soaking up the sun. That’s important for all members of the family, including pets. Cats and dogs are as susceptible to heat-related illnesses as their human companions.
RECOGNIZE HEAT STROKE
Pets can suffer from heat stroke, according to the American Red Cross. Certain breeds of dogs are highly susceptible, particularly those with short snouts, such as
pugs and bulldogs. Excessive exercise in hot weather, lack of appropriate shelter outdoors and leaving a dog in a hot car may precipitate an episode of heat stroke. It’s important to get the pet out of direct heat right away and check for signs of shock, which include seizures, a body temperature of 104 F or higher, stupor, increased heart rate, or excessive panting. Placing watersoaked towels on the pet’s feet, head, neck, and abdomen can bring down its temperature.
BE CAUTIOUS OF HOT SURFACES
Humans wear shoes on their feet for protection, but pets do not have that luxury. Think about how hot your feet can feel when you scurry barefoot across hot sand en route to the shoreline or to cross a deck to get to the pool. When the sun beats down
on surfaces, those surface temperatures rise quickly. According to a 2010 study by Liberty Home and Pet Services, at peak afternoon sun and an ambient temperature of 95 F in southern Florida, the temperature of cement was measured at 125 F, red brick at 135 F, blacktop at 140 F, and grass at 102 F. Individuals who think a car is safer for their dog or cat may be surprised the informal study measured 152 F on seat surfaces.
PROVIDE EXTRA WATER
It’s likely you will need to fill your pets’ water bowls more frequently in warm weather than during other times of the year. Be sure to provide constant access to fresh water, even for young puppies who may be learning to house train.
AVOID CUTTING FUR TOO SHORT
If a veterinarian suggests a hair cut may be beneficial for keeping a pet cool or comfortable, resist the urge to shave down to the skin. Having at least one inch of fur will protect the pet from sunburn.
OUTDOOR HAZARDS
Warm weather may bring out a high number of insects and wildlife. Use a flea and tick preventative product and medication to protect against heartworm, which is transmitted through mosquitoes. Snakes, skunks, raccoons, foxes, and other animals may be roaming around, and a scuffle with your pet can result in injury. Pets need extra care during the warm weather to avoid damage and sickness from the sun, heat and more.
Dogs get sunburned too Human beings are accustomed to taking certain measures to protect themselves when spending time in the sun. Applying and reapplying sunscreen, avoiding the outdoors during certain times of the day and drinking plenty of water while outside are just a few of the ways people can safely soak up summer sun. But what about dogs? Should dog owners be equally protective of their four-legged friends before letting them run around in the backyard or fraternize with fellow canines at the nearest dog park? According to the American Kennel Club, dogs can get sunburned just like their human counterparts. In addition, the AKC notes that sunburn can make dogs more vulnerable to certain types of skin cancer, including squamous cell carcinoma, malignant melanomas and hemangiomas. Sunburn also can exacerbate preexisting conditions like autoimmune disorders and dermatitis. While no dog is immune to sunburn, some are
more vulnerable than others. The AKC notes that hairless breeds like the American Hairless Terrier need sun protection whenever they will be outside for extended periods of time. In addition, dogs with white or thin coats and those with light-pigmented noses and eyelids also are especially vulnerable to sunburn. The AKC also says that dogs with thick coats of hair are not immune to sunburn, as many such dogs shed their coats during especially warm weather, thereby making them more vulnerable to the sun’s ultraviolet rays. Dog owners can speak with their veterinarians to determine how vulnerable their dogs are to sunburn. Dogs can benefit from sunscreen just like their owners. However, dog owners must only apply dog-

specific sunscreens to their furry friends. The AKC advises dog owners to avoid applying sunscreens that contain zinc oxide or para-aminobenzoic acid, or PABA, to their dogs, as these can be toxic when ingested. The AKC also recommends using waterproof sunscreens with a minimum sun protection factor, or SPF, of 30. Before applying sunscreen to a dog’s entire body, pick an area of its body to apply a small amount. Then wait a little while to see if the sunscreen causes an allergic reaction. Apply the sunscreen about 20 minutes before going outside. Apply the product anywhere pigment is light, and also make sure to get vulnerable areas like the bridge of the nose, ear tips and the skin around the lips, groin and inner thighs.

Some dining trends that will hang around after the pandemic has ended
The restaurant industry is slowly getting back to normal after a very rough year that saw more 110,000 eateries temporarily or permanently close their doors. Thanks to rising vaccination rates and other factors, including assurances from public health officials regarding the safety of dining out, consumers are once again comfortable with the idea of going to restaurants. As restaurants begin catering to larger crowds, it’s expected that certain changes implemented in 2020 are bound to become permanent or, at the very least, stick around for a little while longer. • Reservations will be necessary. Many restaurants, even those that did not require reservations prior to the pandemic, may continue to encourage them. Not only will reservations give them greater control over the volume of patrons they host, but they also afford staff ample time to clean and disinfect tables and other surfaces. • Outdoor dining will still be available. Outdoor dining filled an important need and presented restaurants with an avenue to generate revenue when indoor dining was restricted or prohibited. A May 2021 Morning Consult sur-
vey found that diners prefer outdoor dining to indoor dining. With that in mind, restaurants likely will still set aside outdoor areas for diners to eat comfortably, particularly those who were successful in creating attractive and comfortable al fresco offerings. • More restaurants will offer takeout options. Even though on-premise dining had started to catch up to takeout orders for many restaurants by the spring of 2021, takeout figures to stick around to satisfy safety-minded customers who still desire curbside convenience. • Expect increased sanitation technology. Restaurants may continue to make upgrades with safety and sanitation in mind. In addition to touchless sink features, self-flushing toilets and minimal touch or touchless payment methods, businesses may implement UVC light air purification systems and upgrades in HVAC filtration. Barriers that were effective in preventing the spread of disease may remain in place to continue to protect workers and patrons from any type of airborne illness. • Loyalty programs will grow in popularity. Many organizations have implemented loyalty programs to track
how often consumers patronize a business and to offer discounts and other deals for repeat customers. Restaurants may increasingly roll out loyalty programs that allow diners to earn points for each meal and reward repeat business through emailed coupons or free items. Dining out is gaining steam as customers increasingly feel confident and comfortable enjoying meals away from home.

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I’ve been working for months to purchase a purebred dog located in Ukraine. Today, the transaction was put on hold by the breeder, who said that dog imports are being banned by the U.S. What is going on? — Nadiya in NYC DEAR NADIYA: What happened is that dogs are being imported into the U.S. with rabies certificates that are fraudulent. After at least 450 imported dogs were found to have fake certificates, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention took action in June and temporarily banned the import of dogs from more than 100 countries* with a high rabies risk, including Ukraine, for at least one year. According to the CDC’s official notice, in 2020 it identified a significant increase in the number of imported dogs that were denied entry into the U.S. from high-risk countries. Due to reduced flight schedules, dogs denied entry are facing longer wait times to be returned to their country of departure, leading to illness and even death. Why did the number of fraudulent rabies certificates rise so quickly? In a word, the pandemic. During lockdown, demand for dogs (and cats) soared. Worried about the risk of animals being abandoned when their owners went back to the office, many shelters drastically raised fees and other requirements for adoption. Demand for imported dogs rose. Unfortunately, there are no options for those who intend to purchase or adopt a dog from one of these countries. If you try to import the dog anyway, or even hand-carry it across the border, it will be denied entry and shipped back home at your expense. It’s a bummer, but necessary to reduce the risk of rabies spreading in the U.S. *For a map showing banned countries, go to www.statista.com and search for “CDC bans dog imports.” To read the official notice, go to www.cdc. gov and search for “high-risk dog ban.” Send your tips, comments and questions to ask@pawscorner.com.

“S’MORES” Meet S’mores! S’mores was in need of a new home and we were happy to adopt her. She was a bit skittish when we first brought her home, but after spending a lot of time with her she has become more used to us. She has plenty of guinea pig friends to play with and a family who loves her so much!
Happy companion of Celia and Jaiden
