“DUKE”

Duke is a Labrador/Boxer/Plott Hound mix and is about 6 years old. I adopted him 4 years ago just before developing a complex autoimmune disorder, which has caused me to be disabled at a fairly young age. Thankfully Duke has been a blessing and is the best medicine in my healing journey. He absolutely loves rides in the car and really enjoys long walks, especially on the Greenway. He has a heart of gold and loves meeting people & dogs, and he is ESA registered.

Happy companion of Richie S.

Various materials can be used to pave a driveway When renovating a home, many homeowners look to increase the home’s curb appeal.

“Curb appeal” is a term used to describe how the home’s exterior appears to buyers the moment they pull up to the curb. A home that impresses prospective buyers before they even go inside is said to have a strong curb appeal, and that curb appeal can add significant value to a home.

Homeowners looking to improve the curb appeal of their home can do so in a variety of ways. One often overlooked yet effective way to make a home’s exterior more appealing is to revamp the driveway.

Driveways may not be high on a homeowner’s renovation totem pole, but a cracked or unsightly driveway can give prospective buyers the impression that a home has not been properly taken care of. When addressing a driveway, homeowners have a host of paving materials at their disposal.

easy to install and requires little maintenance, two additional benefits to homeowners who don’t have much time to install or look after their driveway.

Asphalt is made from a combination of concrete, gravel and tar, and though it’s easy and affordable to install, asphalt, as any kid can tell you, can get awfully hot under the summer sun. Asphalt can also crack rather easily, so homeowners must weigh its immediate affordability against the likelihood that perhaps it will need to be replaced sooner than other materials.

Brick Brick is among the more expensive paving materials, as brick is a labor-intensive material to install. But brick allows homeowners to create distinctive patterns that can add quite a bit to a home’s curb appeal. Once installed, brick driveways don’t require much maintenance, though cracked bricks will need to be replaced.

Cobblestone Cobblestone can be very pleasing to the eye, but that aesthetic appeal won’t come

MAKE YOUR CLASSIFIED POP with a splash of color! For only $1.50 extra, you can draw more attention to your ad.

Unusual advertising pieces are considered folk art or “interesting” and “decorative,” although in the 1950s ads were only used in kitchens, playrooms or lavatories.

Today they are featured as art, which is why this sign sold for over $1,000.

This tin black and white sign in a wooden frame was used to advertise a man who repaired phonographs and sewing machines in the early 1900s. A decorator or collector could hang this vintage sign in a living room or kitchen.

Howard R. Garis (1873-1962), a reporter and writer for the Newark Evening News, began writing stories about a rabbit named Uncle Wiggily Longears in January 1910. A new story was published in the newspaper every day except Sunday until 1947, when Garis retired. He wrote more than 15,000 stories for the newspaper. The stories were first published in a book in 1913. Seventy-nine books of Uncle Wiggily stories were published. Garis was a prolific writer and wrote stories for several other series of books under pseudonyms. Uncle Wiggily books with 10 stories sell for about $5 to $10 each. The price depends on condition and how early it was published. *** CURRENT PRICES Tiffany trumpet vase, glass, pastel, faceted vertical opalescent bands, clear fading to green ground, footed, signed, L.C.

Now Booking SPRING CLEANUPS Accepting New Weekly & Bi-Weekly Maintenance

by Jennifer Coates

While New England weather can be unpredictable and deceiving, there is no doubt about it, SPRING has arrived! As the snow melts and the winter thaw begins, we see our lawns and properties in a different light. Leaves that have collected in the corners of our yards, sticks that have littered our lawns, broken pieces of acorns that escaped last fall’s cleanup, spindly bushes that were already overgrown when your shears were retired for the winter ~ all of this awaits you as spring officially makes its grand

entrance!

Why try to tackle all this leftover debris yourself when you can call in the help of Randy Bodick and his crew at Fresh Perspective Landscaping? This dynamic team is hard-working, reliable, thorough, and trustworthy. Randy, who incorporated this landscaping business in 2019, has been cutting lawns and tending to customers’ properties since he was a young teen. He has worked diligently and steadily to build a base of loyal customers and to earn a reputation as someone who will do what is asked of him, and more. To say he takes pride in these relationships and the work that he does would be an understatement of sizeable proportions.

One of the things Randy is most proud of is his commitment to communication with his customers. When you call him, if he is out on the job, you can be 100% certain that he will return your call within 24 hours. In such a competitive market, this is definitely more the exception than the rule. Now is the time to make that call!

Fresh Perspective Landscaping offers a broad range of services, including:

• Spring Cleanups (every last leaf!)

• Thatching, Aerating and Fertilizing your lawn • Cutting and edging your lawn • Mulching and Cleaning your flower beds • Trimming your hedges • “Whacking” your weeds, weed control • Leaf blowing and leaf/acorn/debris removal Randy also has his “Commercial Applicators License” (#7630), so he is certified to spread fertilizer and provide grub and weed control. No need to bring in another company to provide this much-needed service ~ it is a “one-shop, one-stop” business.

If you need a one-time clean-up or want to get on Randy’s weekly or bi-weekly schedule, call now!

Business picks up quickly once the season is in full swing and you will NOT want to pass by the opportunity to work with Fresh Perspective. Randy will come to your home or business to give you a FREE estimate, so call and book your appointment today.

Fresh Perspective Landscaping and owner Randy Bodick can be reached at 401-639-7214.

Look for this truck & trailer in your neighborhood, then give Randy Bodick of Fresh Perspective Landscaping, LLC a call at 401-639-7214 to schedule your Spring clean-up and weekly contract. Fresh Perspective also does junk removal!

We plan our careers . . . we plan our vacations, but we don’t plan to age.

And yet the evidence is there that those who do accept they are going to get older and make plans in advance have a considerably better later life.

– MARTY BELL, Executive Director of the National Aging in Place Council

Comfortably Aging in Place Having lived in the same ranch house for 55 years, John Heck’s grandparents wanted to make any and all necessary accommodations to allow them to peacefully age in place. Using his expertise as a home remodeler, Heck completed a variety of aging-in-place related projects in their house, including adding grab bars to the bathroom and other small comforts.

“I feel very lucky knowing my grandparents live in a one story and have my assistance making home adjustments to ensure that they can independently age in place,” said Heck, owner of VIP Remodeling & Construction Services, LLC. “Many folks who ignore the fact that they are aging and need to make adjustments wind up injuring themselves and being uprooted from a more affordable, comfortable lifestyle and proximity to loved ones.”

With the number of U.S. residents 65 or older growing from 35 million in 2000 to nearly 73 million in 2030 according to the U.S. Census Bureau, baby boomers entering or approaching retirement need to be aware of how they can best prepare to age comfortably.

According to HomeAdvisor’s 2015 Aging-in-Place Report, more than half of homeowners who hire a professional for an aging-related home improvement are under 65 years old, with 10 percent younger than 50.

“Too many of us wait until we reach a health or financial crisis to plan for getting older,” said Marty Bell, Executive Director of the National Aging in Place Council. “We plan our careers, we plan to send our children to college, we plan our vacations, but we don’t plan to age. And yet the evidence is there that those who do accept they are going to get older and make plans in advance have a considerably better later life.”

BRAND NEW

Memory Support Neighborhood

Heck notes that even making small adjustments in a home over time, such as adding stair lifts and handicapped accessible and curbless showers, can make all the difference in aging safety.

The top aging-in-place related projects completed by homeowners according to HomeAdvisor’s Aging-in-Place report include: • Adding a personal alert system: Personal alert systems provide necessary security in case of an emergency accident or fall. Installing a personal alarm system costs an average of $652, according to HomeAdvisor’s True Cost Guide.

• Adding grab bars: Many accidents and falls take place in the bathroom. Homeowners may choose to add grab bars to help them safely enter and exit a bathtub or shower.

• Building a disability ramp: Adding a wheelchair ramp, at an average cost of $1,547, offers accessibility to wheelchair or walker users. Various factors go into the cost and safety of a ramp, including slope, weight specifications, landing and materials.

• Installing a stair lift: A staircase lift can eliminate the risk of injury on one of the most dangerous parts of a home. Folks with mobility issues can access the upstairs level safely with this highly reliable added function. (Family Features)

More than 20 million medical visits are made each year due to in-home injuries - HERE'S HOW TO PLAY IT SAFER

FALL PREVENTION IN THE HOME Dr. Geoffrey Westrich, , an orthopedic surgeon at the Hospital for Special Surgery, New York City, recommends going room to room to ensure your home is as fall-proof as possible.

GENERAL TIPS: • • • •

Ensure that the home is free of hazards like slippery floors, unsecured rugs and poorly lit areas.

Install handrails, grab bars and other safety devices.

Wear properly fitting shoes with non-skid soles.

Engage in regular, moderate amounts of physical activity to maintain strength, coordination, agility and balance.

• Get an eye examination and physical each year, and wear glasses if needed.

• Check the side effects of all your prescription and over-the-counter medications and take proper precautions. Medications can cause drowsiness and interfere with balance.

• Eat a nutritionally balanced diet with adequate amounts of calcium and vitamin D. • Avoid excessive alcohol intake.

STAIRS AND STEPS

• Install light switches at both the top and bottom of the stairs.

• Provide enough light to see each step and the top and bottom landings.

• Keep flashlights nearby in case of a power outage.

• Install handrails on both sides of the stairway and be sure to use them.

• Do not leave objects on the stairs.

• Consider installing motion detector lights to light your stairway.

• Put non-slip treads on each bare-wood step.

• Do not use patterned, dark or deep-pile carpeting. Solid colors show the edges of steps more clearly.

• Do not place loose area rugs at the bottom or top of stairs.

• Repair loose stairway carpeting or boards immediately.

BATHROOM

• Place a slip-resistant rug adjacent to the bathtub for safe exit and entry.

• Mount a liquid soap dispenser on the bathtub/shower wall.

• Place nonskid adhesive textured strips on the bathtub/shower floor.

• Replace glass shower enclosures with non-shattering material.

BEDROOM

• Clear clutter from the floor.

• Place a lamp and flashlight near your bed.

• Install night lights along the route between the bedroom and the bathroom.

• Sleep on a bed that is easy to get into and out of.

• Keep a telephone near your bed.

LIVING AREAS

• Arrange furniture to create clear pathways between rooms.

• Remove low coffee tables, magazine racks, foot rests and plants from pathways in rooms.

• Install easy-access light switches at entrances to rooms so you won't have to walk into a dark room to turn on the light. Glow-in-the-dark switches may be helpful.

• Secure loose area rugs with double-faced tape or slip-resistant backing.

Recheck these rugs periodically.

• Keep electric, appliance and telephone cords out of your pathways, don't put cords under a rug.

• Place carpeting over concrete, ceramic and marble floors to lessen the of injury if you fall.

• Repair loose wooden floorboards immediately.

KITCHEN

• Remove throw rugs.

• Immediately clean up any liquid, grease or food spilled on the floor.

• Store food, dishes and cooking equipment at easy-to-reach waist-high level.

• Don't stand on chairs or boxes to reach upper cabinets. Use only a step stool with an attached handrail so you are supported.

• Repair loose flooring.

• Use non-skid floor wax.

SAY YOU SAW IT IN THE REMINDER

AGING IN PLACE

After the Fall I

knew I was in trouble as soon as my right foot began to slip off the smooth, painted step.

The stairway to the basement of my historic condominium building is twisty and tricky to maneuver even when not carrying a week’s worth of dark laundry. Adding slippers to the mix was simply not a good idea.

In an instant, I was in the air - and then bouncing down the remaining eight steps on my back. I landed at the bottom covered in jeans and sweatshirts, and with the wind completely knocked out of me. I paced the basement, trying to catch my breath while gripping my left ribs, which had taken the brunt of the fall. My back was tightening quickly and already tender. I knew I was in trouble.

The emergency room doctor confirmed my suspicions three days later - on Thanksgiving morning - bruised ribs. After a shot of something powerful for the pain (which had an added side effect of improving the family holiday dinner), he promised that the muscles spasms would end in a couple of days, but it would be at least a month before the soreness from those bruised ribs subsided. I couldn’t help but wish that I’d made two trips down to the laundry room that day and traded my worn slippers for a pair of soled shoes.

After all, I knew better.

“Most of the time, younger people that have had trauma, falls at home, falls on the outside of the house, they almost always say, ‘Oh, it was so stupid. I shouldn’t have done that. I knew better,’” says Dr. Geoffrey Westrich, an orthopedic surgeon at the Hospital for Special Surgery, a specialty hospital for orthopedics and rheumatology in New York City. “Accidents are accidents, and I think that, obviously, a lot of these things can be prevented.”

The Home Safety Council estimates an average of 21 million medical visits were made

each year due to home injuries between 1996 and 2000. Falls, like mine, accounted for 41.2 percent of all non-fatal unintentional home injuries, with struck by/against, cut/pierce, overexertion and poisoning rounding out the top five, and making up 80 percent of these injuries.

Between 1992 and 1999, there were nearly 20,000 unintentional home injury deaths per year, according to “The State of Home Safety in America: Facts about Unintentional Injuries in the Home,” published in 2004 by the nonprofit Home Safety Council. Its research points to falls and poisoning as the leading cause of unintentional home injury deaths during those years. Older adults - men and women - lead all groups in the highest rate of unintentional home deaths, although across all ages, men experience substantially more than women.

Nighttime falls are especially common, notes Westrich. “A lot of people tend to get up in the middle of the night, and when they do it’s usually dark,” he says. “They don’t turn on all the lights because somebody else is usually sleeping. A lot of times that creates a dangerous situation because ... they fall and trip over things.”

Plus those who wear glasses or contacts typically don’t slip them on in the middle of the night, making midnight excursions to the bathroom even more treacherous, adds Dr. Westrich. He advises that people always make sure to clear a clutter-free path out of their room and have night lights in the hallway and bathroom.

But Dr. Westrich also has seen falls off step ladders, step stools and even on recently waxed floors take down a perfectly healthy adult in the light of day.

Robyn Drake, of suburban Houston, had purposely chosen a lightweight, collapsable aluminum ladder so she could do more home projects herself. Even though she had already

successfully completed a plethora of do-itherself jobs, like painting, the day she propped the extra long ladder against the wall of her twostory entryway to place knickknacks on shelves would be her last solo endeavor.

“The last thing to put up there was a tiny little silk plant,” Drake says. “I got a little way up the ladder, and I didn’t step right in the center of the rung, and it just basically flipped and caught my feet up, so as I was headed toward the tile.

All I could see was my feet, and I landed on my back, on the tile. That was after I put my left arm down to brace myself, which wasn’t a good idea.”

Drake shattered her wrist, ribs, two bones in her arm and two vertebrae in her back in the fall.

She spent a week in the hospital and a month in home-recovery, and it was many more months before she was fully recovered.

Luckily, Drake was in excellent physical condition at the time of the fall. “I’ve always been really athletic, I’ve always been in really good shape, which is probably why my injury wasn’t as serious and devastating for me long term,” she says. “I already had a strong back.”

Healthy people rebound more quickly from most accidents, and even recover faster from surgeries, notes Westrich. “The stronger the muscles are, the more command people have over their body, and they’re able to bounce back that much faster.”

Four years later, Drake has a new, heavy-duty ladder that she can’t lift alone - and she doesn’t set foot on it unless someone else is home to hold the bottom.

“I don’t climb up on the roof anymore and put up Christmas lights like I used to,” adds Drake, now 50. “You get a little safer, you just don’t think you’re indestructible anymore.” © CTW Features

Restaurants

Rediscovering the ones we loved. Remembering those long gone.

Dining Out has to be one of life’s greatest pleasures.

Baked stuffed shrimp at Twin Oaks.

Fresh oysters at Matunuck Oyster Bar. Hot weiners in Olneyville.

All you can eat chicken at Wright’s Farm.

As I get my second Covid shot, my thoughts turn to Gregg’s Death By Chocolate Cake, Iggy’s Fish and Chips, and an omelet, home fries and hash at J.P. Spoonems.

Dining out with friends and family has taken a toll during the past 12 months on both restaurant owners and their customers.

Many restaurants have closed their doors for good, facing too difficult an economic impact to recover.

Those on the road to recovery, hanging on by a thread as people slowly return to inside dining, deserve our full support. It is a fact that many people frequent restaurants close to their homes, ones

where “everybody knows your name”, especially the owners.

We have made it our goal now that we have had our second shot to return to our favorite restaurants and also to try a few new ones.

43 Years of Reviewing I started my Entertainment column n the Beacon and Herald 43 years ago. The first column mentioned two Pawtuxet Village legends: The Bank Café and The Driftwood. Both, unfortunately, are long gone.

The Bank Café still sits at the split between Narragansett Blvd. and Post Rd. on the Warwick side of the bridge.

The building and grounds are well maintained, but their classic johnnycakes are no more.

Basta, one of RI’s best Italian restaurants occupies the space where the Driftwood offered some of the best seafood in R.I. We reviewed some great restaurants during the seventies.

One of our favorite spots in the Village was Krieger’s, where you are whatever George had to be cooking that evening. You watched him prepare the meal in the tiny space, where he brought the food and conversation to you.

The first full restaurant review I did was back in 1978, when Phoebes Fish and Chips offered the dinner for $1.95. The restaurant was in a house across

from the Seekonk Showcase, where we reviewed movies before the Warwick Showcases were built.

Ristorante Zio Michele was located inside the old Carlton House Motor Inn at 2082 Post Rd., Warwick, next to the airport.

I ordered a crab casserole and Joyce had swordfish, both for $6.50.

We also reviewed one of Warwick’s most popular restaurants, The Inn at 2227 West Shore Rd., where a seafood platter was $6.85 and baked stuffed shrimp was $6.55 While we favored Cranston and Warwick restaurants, we ventured out of our comfort zone in 1979, going all the way to The Bagpiper at 1940 Pawtucket Ave. in East Providence, formerly Emerson’s Steak House, where an hour wait for dinner was not unusual.

Imagine having a broiled scallop dinner for only $3.95, and a big piece od blueberry cheesecake for $1.35.

Back then we found great restaurants in our Dine Out book, returning to the Riverside section of East Providence for a great Italian dinner.

One of our favorite alltime restaurants was the Old Grist Mill in Seekonk, with its beautiful view of a working grist mill and duck pond, plus the best prime rib in the world.

Kristo’s was a popular Greek restaurant in down-

town West Warwick, famous for its lamb dinner.

Remember the Volare Inn at 1473 Warwick Ave, near Hoxsie Four Corners?

All the chowder and clamcakes you could eat for $1.95.

And Gregory’s at 1500 Oaklawn Rd. in Cranston, where a fisherman’s platter was under $8?

Remember the SS Victoria, the old steamship docked on South Water St. in Providence harbor?

The restaurant received mixed reviews when it first opened, but we enjoyed it.

The Helm, at 867 Bald Hill Rd. had the best marinated mushrooms in Rhode Island.

Broiled scallop dinners and crab leg casseroles went for $6.95 back in 1979. Cranston’s own premiere trumpet player, Tony Pelosi played there on weekends.

We even ventured to Boston’s Anthony’s Pier Four and No Name Restaurant back in the late 70’s.

Unfortunately, like all of those listed above, they have gone on to the great dining room in the sky.

The only restaurant that is still in operation that we reviewed in those early years is Twin Oaks.

You can’t get a quahog pie and salad with Roquefort for a buck anymore, but they still have the best baked stuffed shrimp and open steak in R.I. Remember your favorite restaurant from years past?

To Grandmother’s House We Go Make Sure It’s Safe

New England’s Premier Estate Clean-Out Company.

“We Buy Comics, Gold, Coins, Jewelry, Artwork, Collectibles, Cars, Guns & Toys. Highest Prices Paid!”

It is no secret that grandparents play an important role in the lives of their grandchildren. From giving encouragement and life advice, to helping out as a caretaker, many turn to their grandparents for support. In fact, 72 percent of grandparents take care of their grandchildren on a regular basis, and 70 percent of them see their grandchildren at least once a week, according to the American Grandparents Association.

With an abundance of grandparents overseeing their grandchildren on an ongoing basis, it is particularly important they are aware of the dangers that lie within their household that may be harmful to children. One of the most common dangers includes leaving out medication that is easy to access. In fact, in three out of four emergency room visits for medicine poisoning, the child got into medicine belonging to a parent or grandparent, according to Safe Kids World Wide, a global organization dedicated to preventing unintentional injuries in children.

Rallie McAllister, MD,

MPH, a family physician in Lexington, Kentucky, and coauthor of The Mommy MD Guide to the Toddler Years, encourages conversation, awareness and educationsurrounding children’s home safety. McAllister says that each year in the U.S., thousands of children are seen in emergency departments for accidental medication exposures, which can be fatal. The typical scenario involves a curious child finding and ingesting unsecured medication.

“In almost 40 percent of cases, the medication belonged to a grandparent, and the medication was left in a purse or bag, a pillbox, or on a counter or nightstand,” says McAllister. “It only takes a moment for children to find and swallow medication that can put their lives in danger.

Parents and grandparents can protect the lives of the children they love by ensuring that all prescription and overthe-counter medicines in their homes are stored safely and securely.”

Families, and grandparents specifically, should consider the following steps to ensure their medications are not avail-

able to their grandchildren: • Keep medication up high and out of sight of children.

The orange bottle medications usually come in is bright and appealing to children. To them it may look like a toy that makes noise when shaken, or a fun game with pieces that can easily go straight into their mouth.

• Be absolutely sure the bottle is closed and secure with the safety lock. With a regular schedule of taking meds, it may be tempting for seniors to leave bottle tops loose for easy access each time the medicine needs to be taken.

• Lock up your medication in a designated spot. Med-Master offers a variety of durable, flexible medication storage solutions that feature locking options including a 3-digit combination lock, or a wireless battery operated RFID lock, to maximize security. In addition to being a locking storage unit, once opened, options include a pill-sorting tray for organization, a magnifying glass with LED light for easy label reading, as well as a magnetic dry erase kit for important reminders and notes.

RETIREMENT SPARKS

by ELAINE M. DECKER

Distraction Tactics for Today’s Culture Distraction: A tool for diverting attention from an area of focus in order to diminish how much information is absorbed about it.

You might have noticed an increase in the diversionary tactic “whataboutism” lately. It’s generally used by a party on one side to divert attention from their failures. They then either focus on their own successes or redirect attention to the failures of the opposite party. If Facebook is any indication, not only is whataboutism not politically correct, there’s a movement afoot to ban it altogether. Don’t get your knickers in a twist. Herewith, some less offensive options for distraction.

Let’s begin with a literal distraction, based in history. Red herring. This term supposedly originated in British foxhunting circles in the 1600’s, drawing a red herring across a trail to confuse hunting dogs and prolong the hunt. Pungent fish were also used by escapees being chased by posses with bloodhounds. By dragging a fish across the trail behind him, the person being chased hoped to buy time and make a safe getaway. These days a red herring is usually a figurative diversion. Take care to be politically correct when you drag that stinky thing out.

Here’s a fun distraction that will be familiar to cat lovers: Bright shiny object. The most popular is the laser toy.

Grab one of those and shine it in the opposite direction of the speaker or activity from which you want to divert attention. Not many can resist the lure of the laser. For those who can, there are other distraction tactics to consider.

Another reliable one: Smoke screen.

This was more typically used as a military tactic to obscure troop movements. With a thick enough screen, a speaker has no hope of having his message break through. I’m told this was used effectively in the movie “Wag the Dog.” I never saw that one, but I don’t think it employed smoke literally.

Loud noise, including music, and especially repetitive sounds, can also effectively disrupt communication.

Not to mention sanity. “A Clockwork Orange,” anyone? Don’t think about “Singin’ in the Rain.” Think about the electronic version of Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony that drove Malcolm McDowell to jump out a window. Tem-

perature extremes, either hot or cold, can have similar effects.

Retail establishments have learned to use fragrance to distract shoppers and lure them to desired areas or inspire purchases. On the opposite side of the spectrum, obnoxious smells, like rotten eggs, will drive folks away from something you don’t want them to see or hear.

On a brighter (and less repulsive) note, animals are a tried and true method of diverting attention away from one person to another area altogether.

Puppies! Kittens! Lions and tigers and bears, oh my! Only the truly stone cold-hearted can resist these.

Before I share my final tactic, I’m throwing out two words that are not exactly distraction techniques, but which describe things that aren’t what they seem. Astroturfing imitates the messaging of grass roots movements, masking the sponsors to sway people to believe something that isn’t true. It makes it seem like it originates from the true grassroots organizations, but it’s far from it. Clickbait is linked text designed to entice users to follow that link and view the online content. In this case, that content is deceptive and misleading and is typically sensationalized.

On to my final pièce de résistance of distraction techniques. As I often do in my essays, I’m going full circle back to where I started, which is a historical example of a distraction tactic. It falls into the general category of humor.

Humor is almost always a safe way to divert attention from one area to something totally different. There are, of course, plenty of examples out there of politically incorrect humor. But you really should be able to accomplish your goals while still being PC.When all else fails and you desperately need to distract attention from something, strip off all your clothes and streak naked in the opposite direction.

LET’S EAT!

Blended Chili & Macaroni Prep time: 10 minutes Cook time: 25 minutes Servings: 8

(Family Features) Finding the right daily nutritional balance is no easy feat. Managing sugar, carbohydrate, fat and red meat intake takes serious effort and planning, but transforming your favorite recipes into more nutritious family meals may be easier than you realize.

Adopting the blenditarian lifestyle is a simple solution to healthier eating. It involves, simply, blending mushrooms into meat to make every day dishes more healthful and delicious. Adding chopped mushrooms to ground beef at a ratio of at least 25 percent mushrooms can enhance the taste of dishes, deliver an extra serving of vegetables and beneficial nutrients, and trim total calories and fat intake.

Any mushroom variety will work. Creminis and portabellas lend rich, earthy flavors to any meal, while white button mushrooms offer a more delicate taste. For the more adventurous eaters, maitake and shiitake varieties bring a bold woodsy taste and meaty texture to the plate.

The key to blending is developing the perfect mushroom consistency. For example, if using ground meat for tacos or burgers, chop mushrooms to mimic the familiar crumbled texture, using a knife and cutting board, food processor or vegetable chopper. For stews, halve or quarter mushrooms, or slice them to match strips of meat in fajitas or stir-fry.

Practice your blending technique with these recipes and find more deliciously blended dishes to share with your family at MushroomInfo.com.

SAY YOU SAW IT IN THE REMINDER

YOUR TAXES

by M E G C H E VA L I E R

Tax Day extended to May 17: Treasury, IRS extend filing and payment deadline The Treasury Department and Internal Revenue Service announced that the federal income tax filing due date for individuals for the 2020 tax year will be automatically extended from April 15, 2021, to May 17, 2021.

“This continues to be a tough time for many people, and the IRS wants to continue to do everything possible to help taxpayers navigate the unusual circumstances related to the pandemic, while also working on important tax administration responsibilities,” said IRS Commissioner Chuck Rettig. “Even with the new deadline, we urge taxpayers to consider filing as soon as possible, especially those who are owed refunds. Filing electronically with direct deposit is the quickest way to get refunds, and it can help some taxpayers more quickly receive any remaining stimulus payments they may be entitled to.”

Individual taxpayers can also postpone federal income tax payments for the 2020 tax year due on April 15, 2021, to May 17, 2021, without penalties and interest, regardless of the amount owed. This postponement

applies to individual taxpayers, including individuals who pay self-employment tax. Penalties, interest and additions to tax will begin to accrue on any remaining unpaid balances as of May 17, 2021. Individual taxpayers will automatically avoid interest and penalties on the taxes paid by May 17.

Individual taxpayers do not need to file any forms or call the IRS to qualify for this automatic federal tax filing and payment relief.

Individual taxpayers who need additional time to file beyond the May 17 deadline can request a filing extension until Oct. 15 by filing Form 4868 through their tax professional, tax software or using the Free File link on IRS.gov. Filing Form 4868 gives taxpayers until Oct. 15 to file their 2020 tax return but does not grant an extension of time to pay taxes due. Taxpayers should pay their federal income tax due

by May 17, 2021, to avoid interest and penalties.

The IRS urges taxpayers who are due a refund to file as soon as possible. Most tax refunds associated with e-filed returns are issued within 21 days.

This relief does not apply

to estimated tax payments that are due on April 15, 2021. These payments are still due on April 15. Taxes must be paid as taxpayers earn or receive income during the year, either through withholding or estimated tax payments. In general, estimated tax payments are made quarterly to the IRS by people whose income isn’t subject to income tax withholding, including selfemployment income, interest, dividends, alimony or rental income. Most taxpayers automatically have their taxes withheld from their paychecks and submitted to the IRS by their employer.

Winter storm disaster relief for Louisiana, Oklahoma and Texas Earlier this year, following the disaster declarations issued by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the IRS announced relief for victims of the February winter storms in Texas, Oklahoma and Louisiana. These states have until June 15, 2021, to file various individual and business tax returns and make tax payments. This extension to May 17 does not affect the June deadline.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) The week promises a calmer aspect.

Although there might be some lingering effects of a recent job problem, things should continue to ease up. Also expect a change in a home-based situation.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) If you feel uneasy about a colleague’s suggestion, it might be that your wise inner Taurean guide is alerting you to a potential problem. Stepping away could turn out to be the right thing to do.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) A family get-together opens up new opportunities for renewing ties. It can be especially effective in dealing with disagreements that should have been, but never were, fully resolved.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You might be surprised at the response you get to a recent decision. You might be even more surprised by the reasons behind it. In any event, you’ll learn something important.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) Your aspects favor resolving any tensions left over from a recent incident. You might want to consider having a “clear the air” talk as soon as you can. A call can lead to a change of plans.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Avoid repeating yourself. If your first few efforts fail to connect, maybe it’s because you haven’t found the right way to get your message across.

Try changing your approach.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Good intentions plus a strong resolve to succeed can take you where you want to go. Don’t give up just because someone suggests you might be pursuing an impossible cause.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) An unexpected setback can be a blessing in disguise. Use it to recheck your facts and how you’ve presented them. Meanwhile, look for ways to expand your contacts.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) You should finally be seeing a positive change in a recent personal situation. However, an on-thejob matter might need more attention than you realized. Stay with it.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) While you should be close to completing an important matter, you still need to focus on being focused. But things ease up in time for weekend fun.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) A certain matter might take an unexpected turn. Don’t simply accept it; ask for an explanation. What you learn might be helpful in shifting the situation around to your benefit.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Projecting a positive attitude helps restore calm even when you’re confronting some pretty stormy situations. Stay the course. The outcome will be well worth your efforts.

BORN THIS WEEK: While you enjoy tradition and stability, you also appreciate the good things that change can bring. © 2021 King Features Synd., Inc.
