Stoves were often the largest objects in the room of 18th- and 19th-century homes. They were needed for heat and cooking. Cast iron stoves came in many styles, most cast with curlicues and pictures formed by a mold. Special stoves had extra trim, a few tiles on the front or a complete set of tiles showing people, architecture or greenery. A very unusual stove made about 1895 was covered in English Minton and Wedgwood tiles picturing the 12 months of the year, fairy tales and nursery rhymes created by Walter Crane for two of his 1887 children’s books, and other Crane drawings of fairy tales and Aesop’s fables. Additional tiles were copies of pictures of the month by Helen Miles in the 1870s. The buyer also got the stove’s impressive provenance: a family scrapbook that identified previous owners, including the founder of Hobart Brothers of Troy New York, and a pictured article in Colonial Homes Magazine from 1994. Even though the stove had been converted to gas and would cost a lot to ship, it sold for $4,688. *** I bought a miniature Stetson hat and hat box at a yard sale several years ago and paid $2 for it. A friend told me when he was a young boy, his job was to stand outside a department store and when anyone left the store with a real Stetson box, give them one of these small boxes with the hat. Can you give me any idea of age and value? These miniature hats and hatboxes were not free. They were gift certificates someone paid for. The box included a gift certificate for a new hat, so you could give someone a gift of a hat and they could choose it themselves. Miniature Stetson hats are the most often found but other hat manufacturers also made miniature hats and hat boxes to promote their brands. Miniature Stetson hats were made in felt and in plastic. Hatboxes were usually made of paper or card-

150 YEARS OF EXCELLENCE

1. Name Joan Jett’s first No. 1 hit. 2. What song was inspired by the 1962 film “Mutiny on the Bounty”? 3. Which Elvis Presley song was written with the melody of a Civil War song? 4. What kind of music did Santo & Johnny play? 5. Name the song that contains this lyric: “Dig if you will the picture of you and I engaged in a kiss.” Answers 1. The first one was also the only one, “I Love Rock ‘n’ Roll,” in 1982. Her first release was Lesley Gore’s “You Don’t Own Me” in 1979. 2. “Sun of Jamaica,” by Goombay Dance Band in 1979, especially the part played in the film by Marlon Brando, who is mentioned in the lyrics. 3. “Love Me Tender,” taken from “Aura Lea,” an 1861 ballad. West Point also began using the song, again with different lyrics and title, for graduating classes starting in 1865. 4. Instrumentals, usually on a steel guitar. Their best known was “Sleep Walk” in 1959. 5. “When Doves Cry,” by Prince, in 1984. It was Prince’s first No. 1 hit on the Top 100 chart. After his death in 2016, the song climbed the chart again, this time going to No. 8. © 2021 King Features Syndicate

CENTRAL COVENTRY FIRE DISTRICT YOUR FIRE DISTRICT NEEDS YOU! STAY INVOLVED! As the saying from George Santayana goes,

“Those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat it.” The Board of Directors wants the residents of the District to remember where this District was in 2012 – it was bankrupt – and since 2015, when the State of Rhode Island abandoned the municipal bankruptcy that it started, the Board, through competent, fiscally-sound management, paid off $5.6 million in debt, purchased new fire trucks and rescue vehicles, and since 2016, the District has had regular audits without any conditions/issues. But running the District costs money. There is one service: fire and rescue… the Board cannot take money from one department and move it to another. The entire operation is essentially a small business – a nearly $6 million dollar small business, and one that needs to be run professionally, or it will slide back into debt and probably bankruptcy too, without the proper leadership and management. And, voters must approve all budgets. Since 2016 the total personnel/employee costs grew from $3.1 million to nearly $4.0 million – nearly one million dollars! During that same time, the total administrative costs were reduced by almost 40% from $420,000 to $239,000.

Now it’s time to renegotiate a labor contract…and the Union ask would cost nearly $2.6 million MORE dollars in 1 year, if they got everything they asked for. In 2012, the District went bankrupt because of a labor contract and obligations that drained cash from the coffers. Lack of fiscal oversight and civilian oversight led directly to the fiscal disaster. Please get involved and stay involved – your District Board needs your support to make sure that we ALL understand what is at stake and how to avoid going back to the past. Let’s look to the future, instead!

Spring is on the way and warmer days are coming! By DONNA DeLAURO

aybe it’s time to list your home for sale or just time to do some Spring cleaning. Either way this is a great time to catch up on some of those things on your to-do list. There are many things we can do to perform some routine maintenance that don’t need to break the bank. Take an objective walk around your home inside and out and make a list of things that need tending to. Then prioritize the list based on importance and separate what you can do and what areas need a professional. We can easily do many things ourselves, with what we have lying around the home. Clean closets, toss out those items that are out of date and will probably never be used, donate items you really don’t need but someone would put to good use. Organize areas to make them appear more appealing to a potential buyer. Plants and decor are great for our personal enjoyment, but a clear open area will create a more spacious feeling. Decluttering is always a good idea and costs nothing. If you’re thinking of moving this is a great time to pack up items that aren’t needed for daily life. With a little bit of organizing it’s possible to make a space appear to be additional living area. Purge all those unused items you’ve been saving “just in case” If you’re saving things for someone to use in the future, perhaps the future is now and offer them up to family or friends. It may be nice to see those items being used and enjoyed rather than sitting in a box taking up space in the basement. Paint walls and woodwork using up to date colors while keeping it neutral and light. Let the sunshine in! Remove room darkening curtains and allow natural light in. Dark rooms feel smaller and sad. Don’t forget the basement! Just because it’s not part of your everyday cleaning, it is the heart of the home and buyers want to know your mechanics are maintained and working. Dust off the heating unit, water and oil tank, electric panel box, pipes etc. Vacuum any spider webs on the ceiling, and debris on the floor. Be sure any potential water intrusion areas are secured and dry. Run a dehumidifier and place air fresheners

around. There are plenty of things you can do on the outside of your home, to create an inviting curb appeal. Rake the lawn; sweep the driveway and walkway, as well as the storm drains in the street. Clean house gutters but be careful on that ladder and if it’s not safe for you to, don’t be shy to ask for help. Extend downspouts to deter water intrusion away from the home. Clear and trim shrubs away from the exterior of the home. Clean windows and storm doors. Touch up weathered paint and remove spider webs from corners. Replace outdoor lighting with brighter bulbs, to enhance your home at night. Be sure your house number is visible for those potential buyers driving by. If you determine you need to hire a professional for things like roofing, painting, mechanic upgrades, contact a Realtor to evaluate what should be done and what can be negotiated with a potential buyer. A Realtor will be able to advise where best to spend your money in preparation for your potential home sale. If there are issues that will inhibit the financing process, it may be best to address them prior to listing for sale. An appraiser will be working for the lender to determine property value based on area sale activity, as well as property condition. If the appraiser flags a condition issue, that may need to be done prior to closing, avoid any delays to keep the process moving, which will be less stressful for all. In any case performing maintenance will extend the life of the home and keep you safe. Speaking of safety, as we set clocks ahead one hour it’s a good time to change the batteries in your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. If selling the home, the property will need to be inspected by the local fire marshal. Detectors will need to be up to date and in the appropriate locations. You can go to your local fire department web site for their specific requirements, or your Realtor will advise what’s needed. Enjoy making your home beautiful and safe while creating value as well. Happy Spring!! Donna DeLauro is a Realtor at RE/MAX Real Estate Center in Coventry. She is also a Senior Real Estate Specialist and the Proud Founder of Mature Matters.

AFTER

Home of Diane and Mike Pezza Johnston – Remodel Like many of us, during the pandemic, this couple decided it was time for a remodel of their living space. Along with many other changes throughout their home, Diane and Mike expressed the desire to have their own private spots, where they could unwind at the end of a long stressful day. So, Michelle and her team set to work, creating these spaces.

BEFORE

The front living room was transformed into a “woman cave” for Diane, with a serene color palette for the walls, wood plank tile flooring, and custom designed furniture. A crystal light fixture added just a touch of “bling”. Custom artwork on the walls finished off this beautiful new space. Mike was looking for more of a masculine feel, so what better than his own private “man cave”. A smoky blue was chosen for the walls. Thick carpeting for the floors, and a bold wood cabinet with metal accents was added. An extra large sectional makes for the perfect spot for relaxing, while watching sports on the large flat screen wall mounted TV. Steampunk artwork, metal accent tables and lamps were added for a finishing touch.

AFTER

Diane also showed interest in a health and fitness area. This was made possible by transforming a spare bedroom into a private yoga studio. This makeover included vinyl plank flooring and a coat of soft grayish purple paint on the walls. Vibrant cushions and soothing artwork was added to finish off this lovely space, perfect for meditation and yoga. A safe alternative to a BEFORE public fitness center was created.

How to pay your mortgage off faster

(BPT) - Paid Content by Vanderbilt Mortgage and Finance, Inc. Buying a home is a major life step. Homes are by nature expensive and most home buyers cannot afford to purchase a home outright. Because of that reality, most home buyers finance a home purchase with a mortgage. A mortgage allows you to spread the payments for a home loan across many years. The result? Mortgages can make home ownership much more attainable for the average home buyer. Why now is a great time to buy Currently, mortgage rates are at historic lows, meaning that the cost of borrowing funds is lower than it has been in previous years. If it fits within your budget, now is a good time to purchase a home. In fact, Vanderbilt Mortgage is offering new home buyers who chose to finance their home purchase with Vanderbilt 60 days with no payments after their mortgage loan funds. This provides a new home buyer time to settle into their new home and pay for the costs associated with moving - without having to immediately account for their first mortgage payment. Benefits to paying a mortgage off faster While mortgages definitely make sense for most home buyers, there are advantages to paying off a mortgage before it reaches full term. Why? Because paying down your mortgage early: Builds equity for resale. Paying down the principal balance on a mortgage can build equity in your home faster. Equity is defined as the market value of the home, minus the amount owed on the mortgage. For example, if your home is worth $150,000 and you owe $100,000 on the mortgage, then you have $50,000 worth of equity in your home. This equity can then be utilized when you sell your home, for a down payment on your next home. In addition, some of the equity could be used to qualify for a home equity loan to make home improvements.

Frees up cash for later. Another benefit to paying down your mortgage earlier is reducing the years the mortgage is active. Paying the mortgage off earlier will free up the money that was needed for a monthly mortgage payment, allowing that money to be spent on other items - or saved for retirement or an emergency fund. How to pay off your mortgage faster If you’re interested in paying your mortgage off more quickly, here are two common strategies you can use: Extra payments every month. A more common way to pay a mortgage down early is simply to make extra payments to the loan’s principal each month, as frequently as possible. Whether it’s five dollars or one hundred dollars extra per month, every additional principal payment you can make toward paying a mortgage down more quickly really adds up. To show you how that would work, Vanderbilt Mortgage has developed an early payoff calculator to show how much you can save by paying extra toward the principal each month. Annual Additional Payments to Principal - You can also help pay your mortgage off faster by making extra payments to principal once a year. Whether it be a tax refund you receive, yearly bonus or extra savings, this investment toward paying your mortgage off sooner can help save interest cost in the future. Go at your own pace It’s important to remember not to overextend yourself while you’re working to pay a mortgage down.

• “When thickening soup, don’t overlook instant mashed potato mix. It’s perfect for making a thin broth into a nice, thick stew sauce, and it’s pretty cheap. It only takes a couple of tablespoons.” — I.F. in Utah • “Cut kitchen sponges into smaller pieces. They clean as well as a larger sponge, and you can dispose of the smaller pieces when they get yucky.” — O.C. in Michigan • Don’t forget to clean out your dryer’s lint trap regularly. It can get clogged up, and that can be a fire hazard. Set a reminder on your phone to vacuum it out once a month. • If you have high boots, you can use this trick to keep them looking good and upright in storage. Simply use 1-liter soda bottles. They can be empty, or you can poke some small holes around the bottom and add a little baking soda, which will keep the boots dry and odor free. • Ficus trees can remove up to 80% formaldehyde in the air. Other great indoor air-cleaning plants include peace lilies, ivies, spider plants and ferns. • “Have you overdyed your hair at home? Try washing your hair with a dandruff shampoo. You may have to repeat it, but dandruff shampoo can sometimes get the extra color out of your hair follicles. Make sure that you condition well afterward.” — B.R. in Georgia Send your tips to Now Here’s a Tip, 628 Virginia Drive, Orlando, FL 32803.

In preparation for the craft, choose a firm green pepper at the market that has similar contours as the shape of a shamrock. An adult should slice it in half crosswise, remove the seeds and pat dry. Dip the cut end of the pepper in green poster or acrylic paint, then press the pepper firmly on the paper to make shamrock-like prints from the natural stamp. Paint stems freehand on the shamrock to complete the design. (If there is a long stem on the pepper, it makes a nice handle for a young child to hold while stamping.) Save and slice the remaining half of the green pepper into several shamrock-shaped slices to add to a salad. • At dinnertime, listen to traditional Irish music. Talk about names and surnames that are typically Irish, such as Sean, Megan, Shannon and O'Brien. Ask your kids if any of their friends have Irish names. Share stories about any Irish ancestors in your family tree. • For dessert, set small paper shamrock cutouts on serving plates. Sift cocoa over each entire plate and remove cutouts to reveal shamrock shapes. Serve a scoop of mint-chocolate-chip ice cream in the center. • Visit your neighborhood public library with your preschoolers before St. Patrick's Day and ask for books of tales from or about Ireland. At bedtime, nothing will delight your "wee ones" more than imagining a world of little people smaller than they are! *** Find more recipes and family fun at www.donnaerickson.com.

71 TIOGUE AVE., WEST WARWICK

(401) 826-1384

by Jennifer Coates There is nothing in the world quite as wonderful as the Downy-fresh fragrance of clean clothes and clean linens. This familiar aroma evokes images of newlywashed clothes, hung on a clothesline to billow in the wind and dry in the warm summer sun. While there are no clotheslines hanging in The Cleanery, it is a common, daily experience to have your clothes and linens smell just as Downy-fresh as this outdoor memory, every time you bring them home from this busy laundromat on Tiogue Avenue. The Cleanery is an immaculate, family-run laundromat in West Warwick that has been in continuous operation for over twenty years. It is a place that has earned a reputation for cleanliness, trustworthiness, affordability, consistency, and friendly customer service. It is a place where employees like Susan, who

has been working at The Cleanery for fifteen years, put their whole hearts into their jobs. It is a place that provides an invaluable service for today’s modern family ~ both as a place where one can do all their wash in “one fell swoop” or take advantage of their convenient, same-day, wash-dry-fold service. Cleaning your clothes and household linens is “essential work” but it does not have to be drudgery! If time is your most precious commodity, then why not bring your laundry to The Cleanery for their drop-off service? Why not spend your time doing the things you love and let Owner “Rady” and her team help you carry the load? For only $.85/pound (with a 13-pound minimum), staff members will wash, dry, then fold your clothes. Your garments are cleaned with great care, with meticulous attention to detail and with

a sense of pride. Folded and sealed up neatly, they are ready for you within the day. It could not be easier! If you would prefer to do your own laundry, you will find a spacious, 3,000 square foot room filled with do-it-yourself, coin-operated washers and dryers. There are four sizes of washing machines with corresponding prices which can accommodate any size load you need, from 18 pounds at $30/load up to 62 pounds at $8/load. This means you can throw in a few shirts and shorts or that oversize comforter (and everything in between)! There are new, high-tech dryers which are state-ofthe-art and eco-friendly ~ also with various capacities. Discreetly placed security cameras are there to protect your belongings. Customers will also find a coin machine, extra cleaning supplies for sale and a large display case of cold sodas, bottled waters and energy drinks, right there on the premises! If you want, you can even try your hand at a lottery ticket or Keno game. Come to The Cleanery for all your laundry needs this spring. The Cleanery is located at 71 Tiogue Avenue in West Warwick. It is open seven days at week from 7:00am until 8:00pm. Questions? Call 401-826-1384.

Come to The Cleanery, your friendly neighborhood laundromat in West Warwick to lighten your load this spring and give yourself more time to do the things you love!

Oatmeal-Raisin Muffins

“Health insurance helped our team stay healthy.” DAESHON JETT |

TEAM MEMBER, TROOP PVD

“Health insurance is critical. You never know when you’ll need it.” The team at Troop PVD had a recipe for success in 2020 and it included a little help from HealthSource RI for Employers.

Somehow, muffins seem to fit the bill for a filling breakfast, a tasty snack and even as an offering for dessert. These muffins are no exception! 1½ cups all-purpose flour 1 cup quick oats 1 cup raisins Sugar substitute to equal 1/4 cup sugar, suitable for baking 1 teaspoon baking powder 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon apple pie spice 1 cup fat-free milk 2 tablespoons fat-free sour cream 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce 1 egg or equivalent in egg substitute 1. Preheat oven to 375 F. Spray a 12-hole muffin pan with butter-flavored cooking spray or line with paper liners. 2. In large bowl, combine flour, oats, raisins, sugar substitute, baking powder, baking soda and apple pie spice. In a small bowl, combine milk, sour cream, applesauce and egg. Mix well with a fork to combine. 3. Add milk mixture to flour mixture. Mix just until moistened (batter will be lumpy). Evenly divide batter into prepared muffin wells. Bake 18 to 22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center of muffin comes out clean. 4. Place pan on a wire rack and let set 5 minutes. Remove muffins from pan and continue cooling on rack. Makes 12 servings. • Each serving equals: About 129 calories, 1g fat, 4g protein, 26g carb., 140g sodium, 2g fiber; Diabetic Exchanges: 1 Starch, 1 Fruit.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Consider moving beyond the usual methods to find a more creative means of handling a difficult on-the-job situation. Avoid confrontation and, instead, aim for cooperation. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Seasonal change creates a new look for the outdoors. It also inspires Taureans to redo their own environments, and this is a good week to start redoing both your home and workplace. Enjoy. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) A misunderstanding needs to be straightened out so the wrong impression isn’t allowed to stand. If necessary, offer to support the use of a third party to act as an impartial arbitrator. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) A career change offering what you want in money and responsibilities could involve moving to a new location. Discuss this with family members before making a decision. LEO (July 23 to August 22) Feeling miffed over how you believe you were treated is understandable. But before you decide to “set things straight,” make sure the whole thing wasn’t just a misinterpretation of the facts. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Showing you care makes it easier to build trust and gain an advantage in handling a delicate situation. What you learn from this experience also will help you understand yourself better.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Planning for the future is fine, especially if you include the roles that family members may be asked to play. Don’t be surprised if some hidden emotions are revealed in the process. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Making choices highlights much of the week, and you have a head start here, thanks to your ability to grasp the facts of a situation and interpret them in a clear-cut manner. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Carrying a torch can be a two-way situation: It can either keep you tied to the past or help light your way to the future. The choice, as always, has to be yours. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Your watchwords this week are: “Focus.” “Focus.” “Focus.” Don’t let yourself be distracted from what you set out to do. There’ll be time later to look over other possibilities. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) A workplace opportunity might require changes you’re not keen on making. Discuss the plusses and minuses with someone familiar with the situation before you make a decision. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Love and romance are strong in your aspect this week. If you’ve already met the right person, expect your relationship to grow. And if you’re still looking, odds are you’ll soon be finding it. BORN THIS WEEK: You approach life in a wise and measured manner, which gives you an edge in many areas.

SPRING IS COMING! Warm weather is poking it’s nose out, so starting Monday we will open from 4-8 when most restaurants in the area are closed. We won’t have a full menu but will have Pizza, BBQ, fries, wings, salads and pasta dishes. The bar will be open as well.
