A MESSAGE TO OUR READERS Coronavirus (COVID-19) is affecting all of us: our families and friends; our local retail businesses and restaurants; our towns — and your local newspapers. Many of the stores where you find us every week are temporarily closed. Many of the things we cover, like sports and schools have suspended operations. And like many of you who are concerned about your families, we are concerned about our family — our employees. • Effective this week, the Warwick Beacon will temporarily suspend publication of the Tuesday Beacon. Safety of our staff is of paramount importance. Suspension of the Tuesday edition allows us more staff flexibility, including staff rotation and working from home. • Because many of our distribution outlets will be closed, we encourage you to keep up with local news on our websites:

TOM’S MARKET Fresh. Local. Exceptional.
The world we live in today is far different from the one we lived in just a few short days ago. The uncertainty of the road ahead has caused many of our fellow Americans to converge on their local grocery stores in numbers that we have never seen before. The teams at our three locations in Coventry, Warren, and Tiverton have been working diligently to meet with the incredible demand for product, maintaining the cleanliness and sanitation that the situation requires, and providing the incredible service that we have witnessed over the last week. They have done it all with a level of decorum that far exceeds expectation, even though they are incredibly exhausted and equally stressed. Words can’t express how grateful we are for their efforts or the pride we take in the job they have done. Please be advised to the following change to our business hours: Starting on Monday, March 23rd, all our locations will be opening at their normal time. That having been said, we will only be open to those 60 years of age or older, their caretakers, and first responders from 8:00 am until 9:00 am. This change is only being made Monday through Friday. On Saturday and Sunday there will be no restrictions. Although we will not be asking people their age, we hope that our customers will respect this initiative. It is our hope that this will provide our seniors, who are at a greater risk and who would benefit from a less crowded environment because of it, the opportunity to shop safely and comfortably. At the same time, we recognize the incredible challenges that our first responders are faced with and want to be able to provide them with the opportunity to conduct their business before the rest of the masses in order to minimize their
Mon.-Sat. 8am-8pm, Sun. 8am-6pm
401-826-0050 401-826-0051
time spent shopping and allow them to focus on their jobs and their families. We make this change knowing that it may be an inconvenience for some of our customers, but with the hope that each of you understands why it is being made. Our locations have made a number of other changes to our day-to-day operations in order to safeguard our stores, our teams, and our valued customers from COVID-19. Rest assured that that process will continue and evolve over the course of the coming days and weeks, as our ownership team meets with operations and department managers in all three of our locations to further evaluate our efforts, identify additional measures, and implement them moving forward. Lastly, please be patient as we work with each of our vendors and suppliers to restock our shelves. It may take some time before our grocery shelves are fully stocked. The availability of perishable products continues to be challenging, with demand far outpacing supply. Until then, please know that we are working daily to procure the foods that will allow our chefs to continue to produce the prepared foods you have come to love, offer the same quality of fresh meats and seafood for you to cook at home, and continue to provide you with the fresh and exceptional dairy and produce that you have come to expect from Tom’s Market. Thank you for your support, your continued patronage, and your understanding during this challenging time for us all. We look forward to seeing you in the markets in the days and weeks ahead. Stay Healthy, Stay Safe, From all of us at Tom’s Market

IMPROVEMENT Lay of the Land
Landscaping professionals weigh in effects of mild winter, current crisis By DANIEL KITTREDGE At a moment of social distancing and Fresh Perspective profound uncertainty, thoughts of the spring Landscaping and summer to come Spring Cleanup! can provide a needed Now Accepting New Clients respite for anxious Weekly/Bi-Weekly Rhode Islanders. 401-639-7214 After an unusually We Do It All!! mild and snow-free winter, many local landscaping and home improvement companies have already gotten a head start of a range of projects. And while the current crisis has clouded the economic outlook, life – and the work of maintaining properties – goes on. Randy Bodick’s Fresh Perspective Landscaping provides junk removal and landscaping services in the communities of Warwick, Cranston, Coventry and West Warwick, among others. After more than a decade in the landscaping business, Bodick decided to open his own operation last year and enjoyed a “very good” first season. “Everything’s going very well,” he said. Fresh Perspective covers everything from the “smallest job you can imagine to big-ticket projects,” Bodick said. While junk removal projects such as home and business clean-outs have been the focus during the landscaping off-season, both services are provided on a full-time basis. Landscaping work is already well underway, Bodick said, and “we had an amazing week last week.” From that perspective the “mild winter helped me out a lot,” he added. Landscaping season typically gets into full swing in mid-April. While a couple of projects have been postponed due to coronavirus uncertainty, he expects continued business from customers looking to maintain and upgrade their properties. “People aren’t out in their backyards on the weekends yet,” he said, adding: “We try to provide the absolute best grade of work that we physically can, and we try to keep prices affordable.” For Mike Saccoccia at Coventry-based Saccoccia’s Construction & Landscaping, mowing lawns and maintaining landscapes began in his teenage years and led to the creation of what has become a successful, and diversified, business. “We’re really kind of a one-stop shop,” he said. Since those early days working alone, Saccoccia’s business has grown to include 18 employees. It provides everything from basic landscaping to landscaping construction, site work and even home
building services – “anything you want to do on the outside.” “It’s really grown from where it was to where it is,” he said, noting that the business largely serves the state’s West Bay. The company’s website adds: “Today, Saccoccia’s is a full service company offering the convenience of a single point of contact for an entire project from start to finish.” In terms of the current health crisis, Saccoccia said he has yet to see a dramatic effect on his business. The current schedule, in fact, is so full that he doubts he could handle another major project for 2020, although services like landscaping or septic work can always be fit in. “We started early because the weather’s been nice … We haven’t seen any fallout yet from any customers,” he said. Saccoccia said the diverse range of services his business offers helps it weather changes in the economic climate. He also noted that he is a partner in a real estate company currently working on a commercial development in Coventry, which has provided steady work for Saccoccia Construction & Landscaping. “We’re kind of generating our own work … we’re kind of able to write our own future,” he said. He added: “We’re self-sufficient. I wanted to be able to be versatile with what we do … Driving a car is no different than driving a business. You’ve got to know when to shift gears.” To learn more about Fresh Perspective Landscaping, check out its Facebook page or call 639-7214.

IMPROVEMENT Home projects Perfect for Spring The rejuvenating spirit of spring makes this beloved season an ideal time for homeowners to take stock of their homes and properties and address any issues that arose during the winter. While some homes make it through winter unscathed, the harsh weather of the year’s coldest season can add several tasks to homeowners’ springtime to-do lists. While some projects are best left to the professionals, others can be tackled even by those homeowners with little or no DIY experience. The following are a handful of projects tailor-made for spring. Inspect the gutters Gutters tend to bear the brunt of harsh winter weather, and come spring gutters are in need of inspection if not repair. Winter winds, snow and heavy rainfall can compromise the effectiveness of gutters, which can easily accumulate debris and detach from homes during winter storms. In addition, gutters sometimes develop leaks over the winter months. As a result, homeowners should conduct a careful inspection of their gutters come the spring, being sure to look for leaks while clearing the gutters of debris and reattaching gutters that might have become detached from the home on windy winter days and nights.
When reattaching loose gutters, make sure the downspouts are draining away from the foundation, as gutters that are not draining properly can cause damage to that o n at on an oss l lea to oo n . Take stock of roof shingles Much like its gutters and downspouts, a ho e s roo an s er s n fi ant a a e over the course of a typical winter. Shingles may be lost to harsh winter winds and storms, so homeowners should examine the roof to determine if any shingles were lost (lost shingles might even be lying around the property) or suffered damage that’s considerable enough to require replacement. Summer can be especially brutal on shingles, especially those that s ere s n fi ant a a e r n the winter. If left unchecked or unaddressed, problems with damaged shingles can quickly escalate into larger issues when spring rains and summer sun inevitably arrive, so homeowners should prioritize fi n or re la n a a e sh n les as quickly as possible. Check for freeze damage Frozen temperatures can be hard on humans and homes alike, but unlike humans who can stay inside when

Aging in PLACE
R H O D Y B E AT. C O M
H
ome safety begins with proper planning and the right tools. While ramps and stairlifts are popular home modifications, there are many smaller tools and modifications which can help in the home and the community. These tools are inexpensive, minimally invasive, and assist greatly in fall prevention and aging in place. Here are some of “outside the box� products which focus specifically on assisting with balance.
I Need Better Balance When Getting Out of the Car The Handibar is a unique tool which assists in car transfers. The tool is small enough to put into the side door storage, a small purse, or the center console. The Handibar gives the user a stable, graspable surface to push up from when exiting a car. It can also assist by providing stability while entering the vehicle the same way we educate to reach back for an armrest before sitting down into a chair. The design is universal as it slides easily into the door latch which exists on every car. It also will not damage your vehicle as that door latch can hold 2500lb of vertical force by code. Without the Handibar some people push up from the soft seats, grab on to the door itself (that moves), or attempt to grip the door frame. All of these alternative measures are difficult, dangerous, and can lead to falls or fear of going out into the community.
I Need Help Getting Up From the Couch or my Favorite Chair Grab bars will always be the gold standard, however, they are limited in that they utilize a wall to securely mount into. For locations without a wall nearby such as a couch, bed, toilet, or sunken living room, a Security Pole by Stander is a great option. The Security Pole utilizes the strength of the ceiling and the floor to put a grab bar wherever it is needed. It also does not require any drilling (optional) or mess, and can be relocated anywhere in the house where you have a flat ceiling between 7 and 10 feet high.
I Need Help When I Walk, But a Cane Is Not Enough
Living Happy, Healthy and Safe at Home
Many seniors ambulate independently within the home without the use of a cane or walker. The reason is that they are going shorter distances and often utilize a method called “furniture walking.� For longer distances however, a rolling walker is a great solution to assist with balance. This option here is lightweight, has a high weight capacity, and can fold up quickly to put into the car. Fear of falling should not limit quality of life and community engagement. This tool can help folks to feel secure when traveling in the community or in the home.
I Need Help Getting In and Out of the Shower Showers are dark, slippery, and the most common area in the home to fall for people of all ages. So why not have something to hold onto. Grab bars can match any decor. Occupational Therapists and Certified Aging in Place Specialist can help make sure they are the perfect location.

Oakley Home Access can assist a wide array of community members ranging from children with special needs to the elderly striving to age-in-place.

ACCORDING TO DON
SENIOR ISSUES
by DON FOWLER
by LARRY GRIMALDI
I Woke Up One Day . . . And I Was Old “It’s all part of the aging process,� my doctor told me as I complained about new aches and pains, loss of balance, falling, difficulty climbing stairs, and a few other physical problems that have suddenly slowed me down. “A year ago I was playing tennis and exercising,� I said. “Now it’s an effort to get out of bed.� “You’re 82 years old!� he reminded me. “Many people your age are using walkers or are in wheel chairs. And many more never reach your age.� In spite of open heart surgery, an ileostomy, diabetes, and a variety of other illnesses and ailments, I’ve managed to live an active, productive life as a Type A, peripatetic person. Slowing down and needing a cane to steady me at times was not in my master plan. “Don, you’re an octogenarian!�, my wife scolded me when I complained after bending over to pet the cat and having trouble standing up. I notice that people react differently toward me lately. Young ladies get up and give me their seat. Kids hold the door open for me. A middle aged woman helped me get out of my seat
at the Providence Bruins game. My baby boomer neighbor shovels my walk. “Can I help you with that?â€? is a phrase I often hear‌if I have my hearing aids in. Reacting to offers of assistance is something new in my life. Having been an independent soul, I had to grudgingly learn to resist saying,â€?No thanks, I can do it myself.â€? I have two Post-Its on my desk: YOU ARE NOT TOO OLD & IT IS NOT TOO LATE. The truth is that I AM too old to climb a mountain, and it IS too late to run a marathon. Accepting my limitations has not been easy for me as I step aside and let someone open the door for me, carry that package, and mow my lawn. I guess it is called “Paying it Forwardâ€?, and I look back on my younger days and ask myself if I could have done more for my elders in my younger days. And so I try every day to age gracefully and accept the things I cannot change, reminding myself that there still are so many things in life that I still can do and that give me great pleasure. Make your own list.
Irritation, Aggravation and Dread Can Be Inspirational Preparing for this column, I reached deeply into my literary closet, fished out my Curmudgeon Cap, and placed in firmly on my head. If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, then irritation may be the best inspiration for columnists. As it’s true for me, I’ll share a few of my irritations turned inspirations with you. I dislike restaurants featuring menus that contain more pages than War and Peace. I usually have an idea of what I want to order before setting foot in the dining room; but more choices lead to more time spent vacillating about my meal. Multiple options also tax my ability to relax and try the patience of the servers who dutifully await “my final answer.� Then just when I believe I’ve made up my mind, they launch into a recital of the daily specials. Give me a menu printed on one sheet (two-sided at most), and I will be a very contented customer. It also helps to memorize your salad dressing preference beforehand, or be prepared to listen to a litany of choices. The Theory of Limited Choices also works if I decide to have a beer before my meal. The elongated list of bottled, draft, or craft (particularly annoying in this new age of trendy suds) beer is aggravating and time consuming. Remember the Lum’s Restaurant chain of the 1970s and 80s? Their marketing tag boasted about offering more than 50 kinds of beer. I don’t think that there are any Lum’s Restaurants still open. I suspect that the patrons spent too much time deciding on their beer, resulting in less table turnover and even lesser profits. While we are on the subject of adult beverages, let’s discuss vodkas. My wife Kathy sometimes orders a pre-dinner cocktail with the sophisticated-sounding “Cosmopolitan� handle. The server always reels off the roster of available vodkas, in ascending order of price, that are blended into a Cosmopolitan. Since she very seldom requests a specific brand, I suspect that her drink contains vodka just distilled from Idaho or Maine’s most recent potato crop. Moving away from eating and drinking diatribes, we now come to the inevitable aggravation associated with purchasing cell phones, home computers, and televisions. I AM, and my children, grandchildren, and friends agree, a communications dinosaur. In fact, I wear the label with pride and distinction. However, my analog-influenced hubris comes with a price.

Last month, we had to purchase a new television for our Florida condo. I approached the challenge with a considerable measure of unsettled terror. The salesperson regaled me with the features of steroid- enhanced HD, super HD, curved screen, and streaming capable “smart� televisions. In half-hearted jest, I asked where they hid the “stupid� sets. The process was complicated by the technical hurdle that required the television to be compatible with the newly acquired (but somehow strangely vintage) indoor antenna. I can report that Kathy and I miraculously managed to attach the antenna to the new “smart� television and trudge through the obstacle course of set-up options that scanned and saved the channels within our broadcast range (in digital, living color of course). Currently, I glide blissfully across the mystical Cloud using my Version 6S cell phone. While the maker has now graduated to Version 11, I’m staying with Version 6S until I am ejected from the cell phone galaxy by ever-advancing technology and forced to buy an updated model. I understand that there are other types of cell phones. But given the limits of my technical acumen, I have no intention of straying from my current platform-whatever that means! The same principles of aggravation, irritation, and dread apply when it comes to computers. My laptop is several years (and light years in generations) old. I write my columns, save my documents and correspondence, and keep many other types of records in a 7.0 Word program. In January, I received an ominous notification, warning, or veiled threat that the manufacturer, “No longer supported the programs installed on my computer.� I’m not really sure what that means, but it sounds serious! Am I a lapsed member of the digital age? Will the manufacturer’s compliance officers knock down my door with a warrant and repossess my computer? Will I be hauled into Cloud Court and indicted for using an obsolete device? Only time will tell. Stay tuned. In the meantime, I will continue to convert my irritations into inspirations.

SAY YOU SAW IT IN THE REMINDER
Open Every Weekend in March
RETIREMENT SPARKS by ELAINE M. DECKER
The Latest Weird Trends Every now and then I like to report on the latest weird trends. Two that I’ve noticed lately seem geared toward helping folks deal with anger and stress. The first is the growth of an offbeat physical hobby—axe throwing. My first exposure to this was small signs along the roadside when I was running errands. The signs looked temporary, like the ones that advertise local blood drives or craft shows at the middle school. They included an address nearby. At first I thought it was for a pop-up event. Then I saw signs on a different route, for a different address. Still not what looked like a permanent sign, but it had me questioning how a relatively small geographic area could support more than one place for axe throwing. This led me to wonder if you need to bring your own gear—protective equipment, weaponry, etc. Or is it more like bowling, where you show up, and the fee to use the lane includes the shoes and ball? Does one even throw an axe in a lane? I wasn’t curious enough to research this. As stressed as I am about the Coronavirus and the political scene, I’ve
yet to reach the point where I’m ready to toss lethal weapons around. Of course, it’s only March now. Then I saw an axethrowing commercial on a local TV station. Those ads are a lot more expensive than makeshift roadside signs. A quick online search turned up several places in my area where I can partake in this anger-releasing activity. One site encourages you to book a party—Corporate Team Building, Birthday or Bachelor/ette. One FAQ suggests wearing closedtoed shoes (surprise, surprise). And yes, shoes are available for rent. They encourage you to sign their waiver on-line to save time at check-in. And no, I didn’t read the waiver, but I can easily imagine what’s in it. I wonder if anyone I know has thrown an axe—legally or otherwise. Meanwhile, I’m moving on to the second weird trend: Elderberry Syrup. This age-old elixir is an anti-inflammatory, rich in antioxidants. It’s purported to fight colds, the flu and viruses. With the Coronavirus consuming much of the media bandwidth, can anyone be surprised that elderberry is growing in popularity? It also seems inevitable that this juice will soon be in competition with CBDs to relieve stress. Before you become too enamored of this miracle drink, let’s take a look back into movie history and revisit Cary Grant’s 1944 classic Arsenic and Old Lace. I’m sure most of you are familiar with it, but here’s a recap. Grant’s two eccentric elderly aunts rent rooms to lonely old bachelors. They serve them poison-laden elderberry wine to liberate them from their “suffering.� They initially hide the bodies in their window seat, which is where their nephew
finds one on a visit. Grant’s disturbed uncle Teddy thinks these corpses are yellow fever victims who got the disease while building the Panama Canal, so he buries them in the basement of his sisters’ house. Grant assumes that the delusional Teddy is behind the window seat murder, until his aunts cheerfully explain what they’ve done. They spiked their elderberry wine with arsenic, strychnine and cyanide, and then offered it as a welcoming drink to each elderly bachelor who responded to their “Room for Rent� sign. The comedy just keeps getting sillier. I’m sure it was the inspiration for a classic episode of Fawlty Towers. Suffice it to say that Arsenic and Old Lace is an apt title for this film. But it really should have been Arsenic, Old Lace and Elderberry Wine. Rent it, buy it, download it, but however you get it, watch it, even if you’ve seen it before.

My husband brought home some elderberry syrup for us. It’s actually quite pleasant. I’m not sure how much of a virus shield it provides, but I’ll keep drinking it now and then. Axe-throwing, on the other hand, will never be a hobby I take up. I’m way too clumsy for that. Even with close-toed shoes, I’d be likely to come home missing at least one of my little piggies.

Home security tips for seniors Seniors are often targeted by criminals. Though many criminals target seniors from afar via telephone or internet scams, criminals seek to enter seniors’ homes. The Bureau of Justice Statistics offers that, between 2003 and 2013, the ratio of property crime to violent crime was higher for the elderly and persons between the ages of 50 and 64 than it was for younger persons between the ages of 25 and 49. Home security is important for people of all ages, but especially so for seniors and aging individuals living alone. By following certain safety tips and developing a home security plan, seniors can feel safer at home. ¡ Lock windows and doors. It may seem like common sense, but failure to repeatedly lock windows and doors can, and often does, give burglars easy entry into the home. ¡ Think about a smart doorbell. Technology now enables doorbells to provide a video feed to a person’s smartphone or tablet over WiFi. This allows residents to see who is at the door and speak to this person without having to open the door. Some products like RingÂŽ will even register motion activity and record short videos from outside of the house. ¡ Don’t share or leave keys. Avoid leaving keys under a mat or in a flower pot. Others may be watching your actions and gain access to your home while you are away. ¡ Ask for ID. When service people or other individuals come to the door, verify their credentials by asking to see some identification. ¡ Get a home security system. The best protection against burglars is a home security alarm, states HomeSecurityResource.org. Such an alarm often deters burglars from breaking in. ¡ Install a lockable mailbox. Locked mailboxes restrict access to sensitive information, such as bank account numbers, sent in the mail. Make sure retirement checks or other payments are deposited directly into bank accounts instead of having them sent by check. ¡ Use home automation. Home automation, or a “smart home,â€? can be utilized to turn on lights, set the thermostat, lock doors, and much more. ¡ Adopt a dog. Dogs can be an asset to seniors. Dogs provide companionship and can bark or alert seniors if someone is around or inside of the home. Home security is serious business for seniors who are vulnerable to criminals. LP193740

Elder Care Resources People want to grow old gracefully and maintain their independence as long as possible. There are many decisions to make as well as information to wade through to ensure needs are met and proper care is received through one’s golden years. Individuals, caregivers and families may find that a few helping hands along the way can be invaluable. Numerous elder care resources are available for those who don’t know where to look. Start by researching the National Council on Aging (www.ncoa.org). This is a national leader and trusted association that helps people age 60 and older. The council works with nonprofit organizations, governments and businesses to organize programs and services at the community level. This is a good place to find senior programs that can help with healthy aging - emotionally, physically and financially. AARP (www.aarp.org) is yet another organization dedicated to helping seniors. The comprehensive AARP website offers a host of information on everything from senior discounts to products to health and other information specific to seniors. The AARP also has an affiliated charity that works to help low-income seniors procure life’s necessities. At the local level in the United States,
the federal government has mandated Area Agency on Aging (www.n4a.org) facilities in every county/city. These agencies can provide information on service programs available to the seniors in the area, as well as financial resources. These facilities give seniors access to volunteers who can take seniors around by car, and some provide mealson-wheels services. The Administration for Community Living (www.acl.org) was established to help older adults and people of all ages with disabilities live where they choose. A network of community-based organizations helps millions of people age in place. ElderCare Canada is an advice and action consulting service that helps seniors with a variety of different services. They can offer resources on setting up home care, finding retirement residences, moving, or navigating the health care system. Military veterans or those who are/were married to a veteran may be eligible for various benefits through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (www.va.gov). The VA offers health care services, disability compensation, burial benefits, and much more. Seniors have many different resources at their disposal that can help answer questions or provide services when the need arises. LP203739

POSITIVE AGING by PAT R I C I A R A S K I N
Sending Love and Support During This Time Of Crisis
We live in a society that actually promotes loneliness and isolation. That seems like an oxymoron because we are all so busy going places and being involved in activities, but that does not mean we are connected on a deep level. Now with the coronavirus pandemic, all of this has been accentuated and accelerated. For those of us feeling lonely, we are now lonelier. For those of us feeling isolated, we are more isolated. In other cultures, building community is part of daily living. Outward success and financial achievement are not as important in other cultures as they are here. This is a reason why there is so much fear and panic at this time. This is uncharted territory for most of us. I am single and on my own, and I do have strong connections, but not as many as people in larger families that live close together. I want to look at the silver lining and positives in what we can do, and I will speak to the major issues or “elephant in the room� affecting all of us. Financially, for those with steady paychecks, most will be paid. For those who are sole proprietors, business owners, independent contractors and whose businesses depend
on steady customers in the doors, their financial security is at risk. This is a time for more communication with vendors, customers, creditors and ourselves about what we need versus what we want. Healthwise, we all know the recommendations for cleanliness and safety during the coronavirus pandemic. We know to wash our hands, use hand sanitizer and social distancing. We need to add what we can do for our own selfcare. This includes more sleep or better sleep, eating healthier foods (to help mood), getting exercise (even if it means dancing in your living room or sitting in a chair doing leg lifts). There are many online resources in this area. Emotionally, this is a time to bridge the gap between isolation and loneliness by reaching out to our friends, family, customers, employees and colleagues. We can do this online, the phone and through other social media tools. This is a time to support each other, and reconnect with those that we have lost touch with because of our busy lives. Spiritually, the new buzz word seems to be mindfulness, but it is especially what we need during this time. There are wonderful apps out there such as Headspace, Calm, Mindfulness Daily and Insight Timer. This is also a time to take an inventory and make a list of what we have internally and externally. What are our gifts? What are our blessings? This includes friends, family, home, and the resources readily available to us in our homes and environment. It is also a time to think of others who could use
our help. A phone call or text can make someone’s entire day, especially in a time of isolation where we are not surrounded by other people. Environmentally, this is a great time to look at our space, our homes, apartments, and cars to see what we do and do not need. We can organize drawers or books, clean out shelves, discard old papers, reorganize the basement, go through our closets. Organizing, discarding clutter, and cleaning out is very healing. For me, the lesson is about staying open and creative and positive. We may need to find new ways to earn money, take care of ourselves, communicate with others and show up in the world. We will get through this pandemic faster by getting through this together. I’m sending you all my love and support.

SAY YOU SAW IT IN THE REMINDER
Preplanning Your Funeral: An Important Gift to Give “If something happens to me, I would like to be‌â€?. “When I die, I would like my funeral to include‌â€? At one time or another most people have probably contemplated the words needed to finish these reflections. Thinking about our own death is not easy, but it is one of the greatest gifts someone can offer their family. Funeral pre-planning can be as simple as sharing your thoughts with your family. It can also include providing written instructions to a funeral home. While not a requirement, increasingly, for various reasons or requirements, the funeral expenses are being prepaid. The frequency of funeral pre-planning has also increased as family size has decreased and at a time when our family members often are living further from home. As a result, pre-planning is being driven by two different emotions: the need to make things easier for your family and your own peace of mind knowing everything is taken care of, possibly also including the final expenses. State law governs the prepayment of funeral expenses. Often monies are deposited into an irrevocable funeral trust account or are used to purchase burial insurance. Many times, an irrevocable change of beneficiary (to the funeral home) is being made to preserve the death benefit of an existing life insurance policy. Prior to entering into any form of a “Preneed Funeral Contractâ€?, it is strongly encouraged that you acquire some basic knowledge of the whole process. As part of the arrangements process, an ethical and reputable funeral home will explain certain rights and protections offered by state law to your family. The National Funeral Directors Association’s “Pre-Planning Consumer Bill of Rightsâ€? declares your rights and protections to include: • Re ei ing a detailed General Pri e List o services before making decisions and to
be shown merchandise price lists before making selections • Re ei ing, at t e on lusion o t e uneral arrangements conference, a written statement listing all of the services and merchandise purchased and the price. • Re ei ing a written preneed uneral ontra t explaining to what extent the funeral home is guaranteeing prices of the merchandise and services you are purchasing. If there is no guarantee, then an explanation of who will be responsible for paying any additional amounts that may be due at the time of the funeral. • Understanding t at i any o t e er andise selected is not available at the time of need, merchandise of equal or greater value will be substituted at no extra cost. • An e planation o t e ter s under which the contract can be transferred to another funeral home; where and in what percentage of your monies will be deposited, and who is responsible for paying taxes, if at all, on the interest earned or for the growth of the policy’s value. • Written e planation regarding e ess funds, if any, that may result if the interest income exceeds future price increases of the merchandise and services selected. • An e planation in t e ontra t o w et er and under what circumstances a preneed contract may be cancelled and how much of the funds paid into the contract will be refunded. Understanding the funeral pre-planning process, as well as these rights and protections stated above, can be overwhelming. Your funeral director and an elder care attorney can offer further information and guidance upon request.

Cremation‌
All funeral homes offer “Cremation Services�, but we offer cremation on-site.
How does being a funeral home and crematory benefit you and your family? Today you will find that most all funeral homes can offer you “cremation services,� but we are one of the select few who can offer your family the peace of mind found with on-site cremation.
be interred in a cemetery, placed in a niche in an indoor or outdoor columbarium, retained by your family or scattered in a meaningful place? (The chosen location being permitted by all laws)
Other funeral homes will outsource your loved one to another location for cremation. Having our own crematory on-site is our way to guarantee that your loved one will never leave our care.
The second are questions your family should ask the funeral director relating to the cremation process itself and may include: • Do you have your own, on-site crematory? • If no, what crematory will provide the cremation of my loved one, where is it located and is it fully licensed to operate as a crematory? • Who owns the crematory and is the supervisor certified to perform cremation? • Have you ever inspected this crematory and may I see it? • When and how will the cremated remains be returned to our family? As cremation becomes the preferred manner of disposition for many, it is important to understand Rhode Island laws governing cremation. At Carpenter-Jenks, we are happy to answer any of your questions. We have our own crematory and we welcome your inquires and inspections.
Because nearly half of all funerals now involve cremation, it may be helpful for you to know that just because your loved one chooses cremation, it doesn’t mean that your options to honor their life are limited. Many times, however, families don’t truly understand what options are available to them. There are two types of questions to be asked regarding cremation. The first are questions that the funeral director should ask your family relating to the services to be planned and may include: • Will there be a viewing and ceremony prior to cremation or will the ceremony take place afterwards with the urn present? • Will these events take place in a place of worship, in a funeral home or in another place of significance to your family or your loved one? • What disposition will there be for the cremated remains? Will they
We are here for you and your family from your first phone call and throughout your grief journey.

• Turn on the hot water for three or four minutes to loosen debris on shower walls. It’s much easier to clean when the tile is warm and steamy. • Here’s a great storage solution: screw a metal magazine holder to the inside of a cabinet door. Do this in the bathroom to store a hair dryer or other hair tools. In the kitchen, it makes a wonderful holder for smaller pot lids or foil, wax paper, parchment, etc. • Manners check: “If you are getting into line at a shop, it’s time to end your call. When you try to continue your phone conversation, it means the cashier can’t effectively communicate with you and you risk holding up the line. If the call is that important, just wait until you end it to get in line. Thank you!” — M.R. in Virginia • When arranging your fridge, keep the better choices at eye level and easy to grab. • Get rid of smelly stains on your cutting board with a lemon. Use the cut side of a lemon to scrub your plastic or wood board. For a little extra scrub, sprinkle the lemon with salt. Rinse and air dry. • “To reach the highest cobweb or the lowest dust bunnies, get a yardstick and cover one end with an old tube sock. Use a rubber band to secure it to the stick and you can use it to swipe at the high corners of your rooms or slide it under the furniture. Works like a charm.” — E.T. in Michigan Send your tips to Now Here’s a Tip, 628 Virginia Drive, Orlando, FL 32803. © 2020 King Features Synd., Inc.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) A pesky health problem should clear up soon. Meanwhile, travel — both for personal as well as for business reasons — is strong in the Aries aspect this week, and well into the next. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Look for Bovines to be on the move this week, whether it’s traveling for fun or for business. Other “moves” include workplace adjustments and, for some, relationship changes. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Geminis who have just gone through a hectic period involving job and/or family matters might want to take some wellearned time out to relax and restore those drained energy levels. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) A romantic situation seems to have stalled, just when the Moon Child was expecting it to go forward. Could that be a bad case of miscommunication going on. Talk it over openly and honestly. LEO (July 23 to August 22) Showing a genuine interest in something that’s important to a friend, family member or colleague could open a communication line that had been pretty much shut down for a while. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Making a potentially life-changing decision takes as much knowledge as you can gather, plus determination and patience. Take your time working it out. Don’t let anyone rush you.
LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) You should be back on schedule and heading in the right direction after clearing up a misunderstanding. But there could still be some setbacks. If so, correct them immediately. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) A business matter keeps you pretty busy, but try to squeeze in time to be with family as well as close friends. You need the good vibrations you get from people who care for you. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Investing in an attractive prospect (business or personal) with little or no information can be risky. Avoid future problems by getting all the facts before you act. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Someone close to you might have an unexpected reaction to a decision you feel you’re prepared to make. Listen to his or her point of view. It could prove to be surprisingly helpful. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Don’t give up yet. That once warm, personal relationship that seems to be cooling off fast could recover with some tender, loving care, and who better than you to provide it? PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Career matters are strong this week. You might want to enter a training program to enhance your skills. Also, consider getting professional help in preparing a brilliant resume. BORN THIS WEEK: You have a way of respecting the feelings of others, which is one reason people feel comfortable having you in their lives. © 2020 King Features Synd., Inc.
