You can help feed your neighbor, and make us all healthier. The Rhode Island Food Bank reports that one in four Rhode Island families is hungry – the highest level of food insecurity in nearly a century. Yet at the same time, our state has the 11th highest rate of child obesity in the nation. It doesn’t seem possible. Our kids don’t have access to healthy foods, and what they do have isn’t exactly good for them. But you can do something about it. A tax on unhealthy sugary drinks like the one currently proposed in the general assembly would inject over $30 million into our economy and help alleviate hunger for more than 140,000 SNAP recipients, including over 45,000 children across our state. The time to bring this bill to a vote is now. Learn more and contact your legislator at NourishRhodeIsland.org

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. RI Shellfish Co. was incorporated in 2016, soon becoming the realization of a passion and love that its owner Peter Caswell had had since he first began cooking the generations-old recipes of his cherished mother, Annie. As a lifetime Rhode Islander who spent much of his early life digging quahogs off the bountiful coast, it was only natural that the culinary journey he started at the side of his mother would take him to this now popular takeout eatery in the city. In 2016, Caswell received a USDA Grant of Inspection and built a commercial kitchen which he affectionately named “Annie’s Kitchen,” after his late mother. Thus was born RI Shellfish Co. Today, RI Shellfish Co. is visited by loyal fans and newcomers alike. All come for Caswell’s outstanding fresh shellfish and for his prepared dishes which, like the seafood and shellfish they are made of, are prepared fresh to go (though have no fear, many of these dishes are available frozen so you can keep them at home to satisfy your cravings at a later date!) Caswell’s specialty: anything to do with his favorite, locally-sourced quahogs.
If you think these Stuffies and Fish & Chips from RI Shellfish Co. look tantalizing here, wait until you taste them for yourselves! Call for 401-744-0311 for take-out or delivery to get your own ~ Fridays and Saturdays! Caswell has long felt that Rhode Island’s lowly quahog has taken a proverbial “back seat” to the increasingly popular oyster. It has become one of Caswell’s personal missions to revitalize the quahog and to showcase its many varied preparations, including his famous “Stuffies.” For his Stuffies, each clam is first hand-shucked, then the meat is ground and combined with their very own pork sausage, vegetables, spices and crackers. The perfect-size shell is hand-stuffed and that Stuffie is then officially ready to eat (or to have vacuum-packed and sent right to your door!) Peter’s Stuffies join a diverse and crowd-pleasing array of other shellfish options. These include his famous crunchy, golden-brown Fish & Chips, New England Clam
RI Shellfish Co. is located at 1670 Main Street in West Warwick. You can find them on Facebook (RI Shellfish) and Instagram (RI Shellfish Co).

This prayer should be said for three consecutive days. After the third day your sincere wish will be granted no matter how difficult it may be. Promise to offer Thanksgiving by sharing it and expressing it on granting of your favour. The idea is to spread the wonder of the Holy Spirit.
Miraculous prayer to the Holy Spirit Holy spirit, you who makes me see everything and shows me the way to reach my ideal, you who gives me the divine gift to forgive and forget all the wrong that is done to me and you who are in all instances of my life with me. I, in this short dialogue, want to thank you for everything, and affirm once more that I never want to be separated from you no matter how great the material desires may be. I want to be with you and my loved ones in your perpetual glory. To that end and submitting to God’s holy will, I ask from you...(mention your favour) Amen.

"When Quality Counts"
King Features Weekly Service
• On June 7, 1893, Mohandas Gandhi, a young Indian lawyer working in South Africa, commits his first act of civil disobedience when he refuses to comply with racial segregation rules on a South African train and is forcibly ejected at Pietermaritzburg. • On June 13, 1905, pitcher Christy Matthewson of the New York Giants throws the second no-hitter of his career to lead his Giants to a 1-0 win over the powerful Chicago Cubs. Matthewson would go on to win 31 games that year. • On June 12, 1920, Man O’ War wins the 52nd Belmont Stakes. His only career loss came in 1919 when his back was to the starting line at the start. Before the advent of starting gates, a rope was all that held horses back from starting their run. • On June 8, 1948, a hand-built aluminum prototype labeled “No. 1” becomes the first vehicle to bear the name of one of the world’s leading high-performance automakers: Porsche. Over the next two decades, the German manufacturer would build more than 78,000 vehicles. • On June 9, 1954, in a dramatic confrontation, Joseph Welch, special counsel for the U.S. Army, lashes out at Sen. Joseph McCarthy during hearings on whether communism has infiltrated the U.S. armed forces. Welch’s verbal assault marked the end of McCarthy’s power during the anticommunist hysteria of the Red Scare in America. • On June 10, 1979, actor Paul Newman, driving a red Porsche 935, roars into second place in the fabled 24 Hours of Le Mans endurance race in France. • On June 11, 1989, in the wake of the Tiananmen Square Massacre, China issues a warrant for a Chinese dissident who had taken refuge in the U.S. embassy in Beijing. The diplomatic standoff lasted for a year before astrophysicist Fang Lizhi was given free passage out of the country. © 2021 Hearst Communications, Inc. All Rights Reserved

1. Where was Jackie Wilson when he suffered a heart attack? 2. Name the Simon and Garfunkel song that was used in the soundtrack for the 1967 film “The Graduate”? 3. In which Hollies song does the name of the girl rhyme with “freckles”? 4. Which group released “Natural High” and “Outside Woman”? 5. Name the song that contains this lyric: “Come right back I just can’t bear it, I’ve got this love and I long to share it.” Answers 1. He was on “Dick Clark’s Good Ol’ Rock and Roll Revue,” singing “Lonely Teardrops.” Wilson had a habit of taking lots of salt pills and water to create sweating, which he thought looked great onstage. Unfortunately, that combination also causes very high blood pressure. He never sang again. 2. “Mrs. Robinson.” The following year it won a Grammy for Record of the Year. 3. “Jennifer Eccles.” The name came from the wife of one of the writers and the maiden name of the other writer’s wife. 4. Bloodstone, in 1973 and 1974. 5. “Have I the Right?” by The Honeycombs in 1964. The pounding drums were enhanced in the recording by the group stomping their feet on the wooden stairs at the studio, recorded by five microphones.

Motility Important to Overall Health and Wellness motility is something that affects us all, and has an impact on our overall health and wellbeing, which is why Dr. Christy L. Dibble, who is the Director of the Women & Infants Hospital’s Center for Women’s Gastrointestinal Health, says people need to be aware of what it is, and explains the impact it can have on one’s physical condition. Dr. Dibble, among other things, specializes in the digestive system and its disorders, also known as motility. While many may not be aware of what motility, or gastrointestinal motility, refers to, she explains, it’s the movement through the gastrointestinal tract, which includes movement within the esophagus, in the stomach, the small intestine, as well as the colon. She adds that some of the more common motility disorders include esophageal motility disorders, including GerD or gastroesophageal reflux disease. She encourages people to pay attention to symptoms, even ones that may seem common, such as difficulty swallowing, as there may be an underlying
health issue causing it. “It’s important to have good motility throughout the gastrointestinal tract because we don’t want things to remain stagnant within the gut. And when things remain stagnant, they can cause inflammation. And subsequently, inflammation can actually lead to other problems like blockages or even cancers down the road. So we like for everything to be moving perfectly smoothly through the GI tract. One of the more common things that I see patients for include patients who have swallowing disorders. One of the most common ones is called Achalasia,” Dr. Dibble says. She adds, “the reason it’s important to diagnose Achalasia, is because food, if it’s not moving properly through the esophagus, it can actually become stuck at the bottom of the esophagus, which we call the lower esophageal sphincter. And then food will continue to get stuck there and the patient can actually develop what’s called a food impaction. So it’s really important to make a diagnosis with technology called esophageal manometry.
Staying Healthy by CHRISTY L. DIBBLE, DO
And then with that diagnosis, we can then do different techniques to open up the bottom of the esophagus so that patients can swallow again and food can move through smoothly.” “Another very common reason to see me is if you have atypical or what we call refractory reflux symptoms. So that means maybe you have gone to your primary care physician or even your gastroenterologist with chronic heartburn, regurgitation, maybe some pain in your upper abdomen. You’ve been on a long term acid blocking medication such as Prilosec, but you’re not seeing any
noticeable difference in symptoms. So those are the types of patients who come to see me. And then we do a variety of different types of reflux testing.” To assist her, Dr. Dibble uses state-of-the-art technology, to capture information going on inside the body. “One of the more traditional ways to do reflux testing involves a long catheter that we use to insert into a patient’s nose, and it has a small sensor on the bottom and all of the acid that comes up from the stomach into the esophagus over a 24 hour period, that sensor would pick it up. Then the patient would return. We’d remove the catheter and we would upload the study, and read it,” Dr. Dibble continues. She also uses the BrAVO study, which, she says, many patients prefer. “It’s a little multivitaminsized wireless capsule. We insert it endoscopically into the esophagus, just a couple of centimeters above where the esophagus meets the stomach. We call that the Ge junction, it just will sit there for a couple of days. You can’t feel it, but

it will be measuring all of the acid that comes up during a two day period. Let’s say a patient has a symptom of heartburn. They’ll press the button on this little receiver that communicates with the capsule. When the study’s read, we can actually see if that episode of Heartburn correlates to an acid reflux episode.” Taking care of her patients, and keeping them healthy, has proudly been Dr. Dibble’s life’s work. “I believe that care should be really personalized to the patient and of course delivered with compassion. I honor and I also recognize that really a key component to the physician patient relationship is making sure that our patient’s needs are always met. I also believe very much that delivering the best practice and care for our patients is often with a team multidisciplinary approach.” Christy L. Dibble, DO, is Director of the Women & Infants Hospital’s Center for Women’s Gastrointestinal Health

Navigating quality care, together. K
ent Hospital can be seen from Interstate 95, which is a welcome sight if you are in need of emergent medical care. This is especially true when you realize that you’re headed to the second most utilized emergency department in the state.
Kent Hospital has long been relied upon to offer compassionate care from birth to end of life and the array of medical milestones in between. Located in the geographic center of the state, Kent Hospital conveniently serves as a health care hub for the populations of Kent County and surrounding cities and towns, with a heavy emphasis on the communities of Warwick, West Warwick, and Cranston with an estimated population of 168,000. Kent Hospital has more than 2,300 employees and roughly 600 medical staff who maintain a long-standing legacy of care with deep ties to the community; including many of whom reside in the communities they serve. Many members of the hospital staff are proud to say they were born and now work at Kent. The hospital staff follows the mantra of the “Kent Way,” which is a commitment to providing high-quality, compassionate, and personalized health care delivered in an interdisciplinary model. All members of the health care team work together to find the right answers and the best approaches to maintain health and wellness. The employees of Kent Hospital care for their patients, not only because of their professional ethic, but because they see themselves in their eyes, and, in many cases, may even know the person standing before them. There is an idea that all people, on average, are six or fewer social connections away from each other. As Rhode Islanders, we’re all keenly aware that it’s more likely two degrees of separation. This makes the hospital and local community feel connected and
Kent offers a comprehensive surgical suite in the Ambulatory Services Pavilion, where approximately 10,000 surgeries occur each year. The pavilion has a futuristic feel and includes state of the art medical technology to perform procedures such as robotic surgeries, as well as a wound care center equipped with hyperbaric chambers. Kent Hospital’s Wound Care Center is the largest in the region and an integral part of proper care for many conditions, including difficult to heal wounds associated with diabetes, vascular disease, and radiation. Additionally, Kent Hospital is the only location in our state that offers emergency hyperbaric oxygen coverage for carbon monoxide toxicity, which is another time-sensitive and extremely important capability available to our community when it is needed. Kent Hospital performs over 2,000 non-emergent cardiac procedures per year, keeping those neighbors healthier so they don’t end up in an emergency. Unfortunately, heart disease is a leading cause of death in the state and cardiac emergencies frequently occur. In addition to cardiac diagnostic testing capabilities, Kent Hospital offers 24/7 emergent cardiac procedures which are estimated to have saved about 200 local lives per year. Success in an emergency here means that Kent Hospital’s patients get to the cardiac catheterization lab within 45 minutes, saving the viability of heart muscle and maintaining their quality of life. This procedure is available at Kent Hospital and select hospitals in Providence. While Rhode Island is not a large state, those minutes of drive time can matter in an emergency. Kent Hospital continues to invest in equipment designed to offer the latest advances in care and to attract physicians to the area. Robotic surgery utilizing DaVinci or Mako robots, for various

These are real people, employed here for generations, taking exceptional care of real people. Since it first opened its doors to the public in 1951, Kent Hospital has grown from a two-bed emergency room to a 47-bed emergency department making it the second-largest in the state. This emergency department ranks among the top 10 percent nationally. Annually, the Kent Hospital emergency department sees an estimated 68,000 patients in need of care for everything from chest pain, to broken bones, to psychiatric needs. During the global pandemic, Kent Hospital partnered with the state to strategically build and manage a COVID-19 field hospital. Kent has also recently been ranked in the top 250 best hospitals nationally and continues to remain dedicated to providing focused, accessible local care while supporting an impressive national presence and recruitment strategy in partnership with The Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University. Kent Hospital is essential to the training of medical and nursing students in RI; these students are an essential ingredient to an integrated, academic health system. In collaboration with The Warren Alpert Medical School, over 50 family medicine and approximately 30 internal medicine residents are trained each year, right here in Warwick, with our experts in these areas of practice. This is beneficial not only for the medical school, but also for the patients. Medical students get hands-on experience with our dedicated medical experts, and our patients benefit from an additional fresh perspective of someone who has cutting-edge training in recognizing symptoms and executing best medical practices on behalf of the patient. Several local nursing schools, including URI and RIC, utilize Kent Hospital for clinical rotations. Hospitals that are ever-training are also ever-growing, and by their nature keeping on the leading edge of medicine and nursing. Kent Hospital also successfully partners with health care entities outside of the Care New England hospital system, allowing the staff greater access to innovative tools and empirical knowledge. Our strong affiliation with Brigham and Women’s Hospital, for example, brings surgeons and other specialists right here to provide personalized care. This approach supports local access to care throughout each stage of life’s journey, including state-of-the-art surgical and diagnostic options, and an on-site infusion center. This not only allows for the convenience that Rhode Islanders seek, but also for patients to get to know the staff caring for them, and oftentimes even each other.
general and orthopedic surgeries, is another approach that Kent Hospital employs to care for the people of this community. Kent Hospital offers access to complex thoracic surgery. Additionally, Care New England and Kent Hospital’s board-certified bariatric physicians offer surgical solutions for obesity and robust weight loss and management programs that include convenient and ongoing support essential to successful long-term weight loss. We offer not just a surgeon, but full programs with support. Kent Hospital also has the most modern radiation therapy machine available today. Cancers are prevalent and the care for cancer patients is delivered in a highly specialized way. Our breast surgeons are all board-certified within the Care New England health system, and they also specialize in oncoplasty, a surgical technique that combines the latest in plastic surgery with breast surgical oncological procedures which leads to the best healthcare and aesthetic outcomes that patients desire and deserve. Working at Kent Hospital means that not only do we often recognize and care for those patients that we live near, but it also means that we hope to provide reliable work and economic benefits to our communities – Apponaug, Cowesett, Oakland Beach, Warwick Neck – we know these places by name, and we know that working among the communities that we live is very important. With a renewed eye toward diversity, we are continuously seeking a workforce that is proud to be a part of not only these communities, but others across the state. Kent Hospital offers high-quality care, right here in your neighborhood, in the middle of the Ocean State. Most of all, we care and will always care about each other – our staff and our patients. While change is inevitable, it’ll only be for the better. We will remain the Kent Hospital that you know and rely upon – with the long-standing commitment to support our patients and our staff.

Haffey, MBA, MSN, RN, President and COO, Kent Hospital Paari Gopalakrishnan, MD, MBA, Chief Medical Officer, Kent Hospital Judith Ann Thorpe, MSN, RN, Chief Nursing Officer, Kent Hospital

Moments in the
Sun
As RI reopens, summer schedule boasts wide range of events, activities By DANIEL KITTREDGE Rhode Islanders have never been so ready for summer. More than a year after the pandemic shutdown, a return to “normal” life has largely, finally, arrived. Most COVID-related business and social restrictions have been lifted, and roughly two-thirds of Ocean State residents were at least partially vaccinated against the coronavirus heading into the Memorial Day weekend. The brightening picture is a major boon to Rhode Island’s hard-hit tourism and hospitality industries, which can now more fully welcome back patrons. And perhaps most eagerly anticipated, after a year of social distancing and virtual interactions, will be the return of large-scale events and gatherings. Here’s a quick roundup of just a handful of the events, activities and attractions – some ongoing, others on specific dates – that will highlight our state’s summer schedule in the weeks ahead. Gaspee Days Various dates, June and September Pawtuxet Village, Warwick and Cranston It’s a celebration of the nation’s “first blow for freedom” – and next year, it will mark its 250th anniversary. Gaspee Days, a decades-long tradition in Pawtuxet Village, commemorates the 1772 burning of a British schooner at the hands of colonists. Traditionally held in May and June, its major events include an Arts & Crafts Festival, a 5K road race and, most of all, the Gaspee Days Parade. In 2020, the onset of the pandemic just weeks ahead of Gaspee Days forced the cancellation of all the scheduled events. This year, the Gaspee Days Committee planned for a scaledback parade, but the success of a fundraising campaign to support the effort has led to bigger plans. A fireworks display is scheduled for Saturday, June 5, while the parade, 5K and ceremonial burning of the Gaspee will be held the next week, June 12. The Arts & Crafts Festival, typically held on Memorial Day weekend, is instead planned for September, as is the Gaspee Days Block Party. For a full schedule of events and more information, visit gaspee.com.
St. Mary’s Feast Wednesday, July 14 through Sunday, July 18 Knightsville, Cranston Steeped in history and community, the St. Mary’s Feast celebration in Cranston is due to return for its 116th year in July. Last year’s feast was significantly scaled back from the usual festivities, which draw tens of thousands of visitors to the Knightsville neighborhood for carnival rides, music and, most of all, food. The 2020 edition put a renewed focus on the religious roots of the feast, which was brought to Rhode Island by immigrants from the area of Itri, Italy. For more information, follow the St. Mary’s Feast Society on Facebook or visit stmarysfeast.com. The Guild PVD Beer Garden PVD Innovation District Park, Providence Various dates, May through October The new pedestrian bridge in Providence offers spectacular views of Rhode Island’s capital city. And this summer, visitors will have a chance to enjoy local brews, too. Guild Brewing Co. will offer its beers as part of The Guild PVD Beer Garden, which will be held weekly through October along Dyer Street and the Providence River. The event will also include food trucks. For a full schedule, visit The Guild PVD’s Facebook page or check out visitrhodeisland.com. Asian Lantern Spectacular Roger Williams Park Zoo, Providence Through July 4 There’s still time to catch the Asian Lantern Spectacular at Roger Williams Park Zoo, which features more than 50 lantern displays along with Asian-inspired food and beverages.

Rain Harvest Arts Festival Roger Williams Park, Providence Saturday, June 12 Billed as a “unique event that combines water, science and art in a community celebration,” this festival hosted by the Providence Stormwater Innovation Center will offer a wide range of activities for local families. “Artists, musicians, environmental scientists, local students and educators share their inspirations and encourage public participation with performances, music, chalk drawings, scavenger hunts, tours of stormwater projects hosted by the Stormwater Innovation Center, water testing demonstrations, and more,” a description reads. To learn more, visit stormwaterinnovation.org/rainharvestartsfestival. Music at Mulligan’s Island 1000 New London Ave., Cranston Various dates, July and August Looking to enjoy live music at a great outdoor venue? Check out the Summer Concert Series planned at Mulligan’s Island Golf & Entertainment in Cranston, from the Doobie Brothers tribute Takin’ It To The Streets on July 2 to Scarab: The Journey Experience on Aug. 27.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Taking time out of your busy schedule might be the best way to handle that sensitive private matter. It will help reassure everyone involved about your priorities. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Insist on full disclosure by all parties before agreeing to be part of a “great deal.” What you learn should help you decide whether to go with it or not. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Your decision to protect the secret that was entrusted to you might irk some people. But it also wins you the admiration of those who value trust and loyalty. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Creative activities take on a practical approach as you realize you might be able to market your work. Ask for advice from someone experienced in this area. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) If you’re suddenly a bit unsure about your decision, ask trusted colleagues and/or friends or family members for suggestions that could help resolve your doubts. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) A workplace situation could get stormy. But stay on course until there’s a solution that meets with everyone’s approval, and things finally can calm down. BORN THIS WEEK: You keep an open mind on most matters, making you the confidante of choice for people who need your honest counsel.
DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I bought a house in the suburbs last month. My next-door neighbor warned me that there is a coyote in the area and not to let my cat outside. I’ve read that coyotes are very shy and won’t bother dogs, and they aren’t fast enough to catch a cat. Should I just ignore the warning? — Pet Dad in Marlborough, Massachusetts DEAR PET DAD: Coyotes have made a comeback in the U.S. and are present in many suburbs and even in the city. While coyotes are less likely to attack larger dogs, they’ve been known to go after smaller dogs. And cats are not necessarily fast enough to escape, either. So, if the neighbors are reporting a coyote in the area, take heed. Don’t let your cat or dog out in the backyard unsupervised. Even if you have a fence around the yard, unless it’s over 6 feet tall (and not all municipalities allow that height) it may not discourage a coyote from hopping it and nosing around. Coyotes are mostly looking for food. They’re opportunists. If there is cat or dog food left outside, for example, they’ll eat it — and probably come back later, looking for more. This is one way that conflicts with coyotes (and other local wildlife) can start. If they have a reason to come onto your property to begin with, and then start to see your pets as another food source — you’ve got a problem. To sum up: • Supervise pets when they’re outside. Stay out there with them. • Don’t leave their food or water outside unattended; bring it in each evening. • Consider wildlife-resistant fencing to keep coyotes and other unwanted critters out of your yard. Send your tips, comments and questions to ask@pawscorner.com.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Although you would prefer to move forward at a steady pace, it might be a good idea to stop and reassess your plans.

But a timely explanation helps put it all back on track. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Home and work continue to compete for your attention. But you handle it well by giving each its proper due. Someone you trust offers valuable advice. Listen to it. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Unsettling news creates a difficult but not impossible situation. Continue to follow your planned routine, but keep your mind open to a possible change down the line. LEO (July 23 to August 22) Lick your wounded pride if you like, but it’s a better idea to find out why your suggestions were rejected. What you learn could help you deal with an upcoming situation. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Feeling a bit listless? No wonder. You might be pushing too hard to finish everything on your to-do list. Cutting it down could help get your energy levels up.
