Sacred Heart I give thanks for the favor granted by the powerful Novena made to the Sacred Heart. May the Sacred Heart of Jesus be praised, adored and glorified through the whole world forever. Amen. Say this little prayer (6) times a day for (9) consecutive days, your prayer will be answered before the 9th day, no matter how impossible it may seem to you. Don’t forget to thank the Sacred Heart. Publication promised. Many favors received.

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I read your recent article on animal shelters. It was spot on with advice for donors. Many rescues do not advertise locally, but online through Petfinder.com and AdoptAPet.com. Local advertising and signs usually result in animals being deposited on a rescue’s property without invitation or contact. If people want to help, please research your local area and find a rescue. Contact them and see what they need. Most rescues need specific foods, medicines, etc., and always need monetary contributions. These are the best ways to help out, through contact and conversations with the people involved. Local animal control and shelters can use help too. One of the most important things to remember is that almost all rescues are nonprofit, charitable entities. All donations, money or otherwise, go completely to helping out the animals. There are no “salaries” for the persons running the organization as there are with so many other “charities.” Just research online the salaries paid out with contributions from the public for many common charities that many donate to each year. Do I speak from experience? Yes. My wife and I have been doing dog rescue for 16 years, ever since she returned home from helping in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina left so many animals needing rescue and help getting back with their families. We have helped close to 1,600 rescues find forever, loving homes. — R.M., SusieQ DogResQ, Inc. DEAR R.M.: Thank you for this insider info. It confirms that acting locally to help animals, either through donating supplies or money or your time, can have the greatest impact. Send your questions, comments or tips to ask@pawscorner.com.

(Never known to fail). O Most Beautiful Flower of Mt. Carmel, Fruitful Vine, Splendor of Heaven, Blessed Mother of the Son of God, Immaculate Virgin, assist me in my necessity. O Star of the sea, help me and show me here in, you are my mother. O Holy Mary, Mother of God, Queen of Heaven and Earth, I humbly beseech you from the bottom of my heart to succor me in my necessity (make request). There are none that can withstand your power. O Mary conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee (3 times.) Holy Mary, I place this cause in your hands (3 times). Say this prayer for three consecutive days. You must publish it and it will be granted to you. Grateful Thanks. J.M.

1. Bonnie Tyler released “It’s A Heartache” in 1977. Name the other two female artists who released cover versions the following year. 2. Which Scottish band released “Love Hurts”? 3. Who wrote and released “Clap for the Wolfman”? 4. Which artist released “Material Girl”? 5. Name the song that contains this lyric: “It was so easy livin’ day by day, Out of touch with the rhythm and blues, But now I need a little give and take.” Answers 1. Juice Newton and Ronnie Spector. 2. Nazareth, in 1975. It was first released in 1960 by the Everly Brothers as an album track, never a single. The song has been covered by many, including Roy Orbison, Jennifer Warnes and Jim Capaldi from Traffic. 3. The Guess Who, in 1974. The song was about Wolfman Jack, the famous DJ. He’s heard speaking on the recording. 4. Madonna, in 1984. 5. “New York State of Mind,” by Billy Joel in 1976. The song was never released as a single but became a favorite anyway, one that Joel played at benefit concerts all around New York after 9/11. He wrote the song after moving to the East Coast from Los Angeles.

Tom, Enjoy your retirement! You’re friends at Access America

“Over the Counter”

by Bill Marcotte, Proprietor

Through rain and wind and snow and sleet…comes Tom Valletta, the mail carrier! For more years that I can think about, Tom has been our mail carrier here at Crystal. No matter what the weather conditions are, he’s here, and usually in a pretty decent mood! As it turns out, he’s my delivery person at my home as well. He knows the streets in town better than anyone, I’m sure. You’ll see him in his truck along Main Street daily, unless he’s off. He’s a great guy with a lot of miles on his feet. He’s never one to shy away from a conversation or refuse a piece of news. He’s jovial, sincere and caring. I’m sure there’s not a person on his route that doesn’t feel the same way. He’s a legend in his own mind, and also in the mind of some of us! If you are lucky enough to be friends on Facebook, you’ll know that he knows his way around a keyboard as a musician, and he also knows his way around local and not too distant eateries. He’s a one of a kind, humble, nice guy. We love him, and wish him the best in his retirement. he surely deserves to put his feet up and relax, although I’m sure he won’t sit around!! Our best wishes to Thomas J. Valletta, and good luck to his wife Lisa who will now have to put up with him a little more often. If you see him on the road, wish him well!!

by Jennifer Coates Sitting perched on a patch of green grass on Tiogue Avenue is the neighborly home of Fantastic Sam’s Cut & Color. This bustling salon is part of a family of salons which bear the same recognizable name, but as soon as you walk into this salon, you see that it is much more than you might expect. The salon is bright, bold and full of energy ~ and this has as much to do with the stylists as the décor (which is also bright, bold and full of energy!) This is a place where all are welcome. The stylists at Fantastic Sam’s are what set this salon apart from its competitors. They are dedicated and friendly, and share a genuine interest in their clients, many of whom have been with their chosen stylists from the beginning of their careers. The stylists are all

professionals; some have been cutting, coloring, and styling hair for more than 30 years! Some favor edgier cuts with bolder hair color choices while others are best suited for your more traditional cuts and subtler colors. These stylists are at ease with clients of all ages and style preferences. They are versatile, creative, attentive, and on-trend. Don’t assume that because Fantastic Sam’s is part of chain of nationwide salons that their work is ordinary or outdated in any way. All the stylists regularly participate in continuing education classes so they are able to keep up with the most current trends, products and looks. These latest trends in cuts and color are done here every day by this talented team of stylists. One thing that is imminently important to the team here, and to

longtime manager Cirise Iluditan, is respect for diversity. Long hair, short hair, textured hair, smooth hair, wavy hair, straight hair. Men, women & children of all ages and walks of life are served here. All levels of styling are offered, from basic cuts to the trendy “fashion colors”, foils, balyage, “spiral perms,” and ombres. Some of the many services here include permanent color and color retouches, partial or full highlights and low lights. Haircuts range from kid’s cuts to senior cuts (both only $16), blowdry’s and buzz cuts. There are permanent waves and keratin smoothing as well as conditioning, reconstruction and clarifying treatments. Brow waxing continues! During these transitional times, Fantastic Sam’s upholds all the statemandated guidelines regarding Covid. The clients’ safety and wellbeing are always of primary concern at this popular salon. Masks are still mandatory, social distancing is enforced, and enhanced sanitation procedures are regularly implemented. Appointments are also required. Fantastic Sam’s Cut &

Color is located at 1015 Tiogue Avenue. Hours are Monday ~ Friday, 9:00am 7:00pm, Saturday, 9:00am

King Features Weekly Service

Lunchbox collecting began in 1950, with the first example picturing the cowboy movie star Hopalong Cassidy. The metal boxes and matching thermos bottles remained popular until 1960, when soft plastic boxes were the style. (And it is a myth that metal boxes were replaced because students were hitting each other in the head and causing injuries.) This football collectible included a matching thermos and was an auction bargain at $35. The King-Seely Thermos Company made many metal lunchboxes, including the one with the football helmets. The most expensive metal lunchbox ever sold pictured “Toppie the Elephant,” a Kroger grocery store figure that promoted plaid Top Value stamps. A 1957 Toppie lunchbox with thermos sold for $2,784. *** On the TV show “Better Call Saul,” the plot included a Hummel figurine that was so rare that it would sell for thousands of

dollars. Your comments on Hummels say they are bought for very low prices today, most under $50. Did the show make up the story? Or is there a type of Hummel that sells for over $1,000? The “Better Call Saul” show was talking about the rarest Hummels, a group called International Figures. The characters talked about the Bulgarian figure, but the real one depicted a Bavarian figure. In 1976, eight were in a sale by Robert Miller, the author of the first Hummel price book and an expert in all things Hummel. He realized they were different from any he owned, so he made for a dealer in Hungary before World War II. Later research claims that 24 or 26 different designs were made in the 1940s. The figures are marked with the M.I. Hummel signature used from 1935 to 1955 and mold numbers that run consecutively from 806 to 813 and others with numbers up to 968. Each figurine is depicted in its country’s national dress. The thieves in the TV show wanted to steal an ordinary Hummel figurine and redecorate it to look like the famous one that has sold for thousands of dollars. The first sales were at $20,000, but by 2013, the price for the International figure was as low as $5,000. *** CURRENT PRICES Kitchen kettle, copper, straight sides, dovetailed joints, gooseneck spout, hinged shaped handle, stepped lid, 1800s, 9 inches, $75. Brass lamp, 3 graduated ball knops on stem, round base, electric, Tommi Parzinger for Stiffel, 27 inches, pair, $315.

WITH EXERCISE OLDER AMERICANS MONTH There are many reasons to get in shape. Weight loss is a prime motivator, as is reversing a negative health effect, such as high cholesterol or increased diabetes risk. Routine exercise also can improve life expectancy. WebMD says exercise keeps the body and brain healthy. That’s why exercise should be an important component of daily life no matter one’s age. Research published in the journal Immune Aging found that how people age is 75 percent lifestyle and only 25 percent genetics, which underscores the importance of the lifestyle choices people make. Manage stress and mood

Cardiorespiratory fitness Many health experts say that cardiorespiratory fitness may be just as valuable a metric to determine overall health as blood pressure and lipid levels. People with a high aerobic capacity can deliver oxygen to tissues and cells efficiently to fuel exercise, according to data published in 2014 in the journal Aging & Disease. In a study involving 11,335 women, researchers compared V02 max, also known as aerobic capacity, in women with mortality data. Women who were fit from a cardiovascular perspective had a lower death rate from all causes, irrespective of the women’s weight.

Coming Soon! BRAND NEW

Memory Support Neighborhood

Exercise has direct stress-busting benefits that can promote longevity. The Mayo Clinic says physical activity can increase the production of endorphins, which are the body’s feel-good neurotransmitters. In addition, exercise can imitate the effects of stress, helping the body adjust its flight or fight response accordingly, and help them cope with mildly stressful situations. While engaged in exercise, people may forget about their problems as they are focused on the activity at hand.

Improve bone health Strength training and physical activity can stave off the effects of frailty and osteoporosis, which affects bone strength. A study published in the Journal of Internal Medicine in 2017 found that hip fractures are associated with diminished quality of life and survival among the elderly. One in three adults aged 50 and over dies within 12 months of suffering a hip fracture, and older adults have a five- to eight-times greater risk of dying within three months following a hip fracture. Building muscle strength, balance and bone density through exercise can reduce falls and frailty, helping to prevent fracture-related health risks.

Addresses sarcopenia The health and wellness resource Healthline defines sarcopenia as the loss of muscle mass specifically related to aging. Doctors once considered this muscle loss inevitable, and it can affect stamina and lead to weakness. However, new indications suggest that exercise is the main treatment regimen for sarcopenia, particularly resistance training. This is designed to improve muscle strength and help balance hormone levels by turning protein into energy for older adults.

IN HONOR OF OLDER AMERICANS MONTH Meals on Wheels and

The Samaritans partner to address loneliness for RI’s homebound seniors Loneliness caused by social restrictions and transmission of the COVID-19 pandemic have impacted older Rhode Islanders in previously unimaginable ways. And, while the pandemic’s devastation on the emotional well-being of the aged in congregate living settings is well documented there is another group of seniors less visible but equally challenged by COVID-19 restrictions - isolated, homebound seniors. This May, in honor of Older Americans Month, Meals on Wheels of Rhode Island will initiate an awareness campaign educating more than 1,300 homebound seniors, who receive daily meals from the agency, on the listening line resources of The Samaritans of Rhode Island. According to Meg Grady, the local Meals on Wheels executive director, the delivery of daily meals to their clients provides vital safety

checks and opportunities for brief socialization critical to supporting the lives of seniors but represents a moment in time. By referring clients to The Samaritans listening line, both agencies can together offer extended opportunities for daily support many older Rhode Islanders may never get, especially those without a network of family or friends. “When Denise Panichas, Executive Director of The Samaritans contacted me in January about partnering, I was eager to work with her,” said Grady. “We all know the valuable work done by Samaritan volunteers in suicide prevention but I was not aware of how many people call every day who are not suicidal and just need someone to listen. This is a wonderful resource to extend to our clients who often struggle with isolation and loneliness due to their homebound status.”

“The World Health Organization and the U.S. Surgeon General have said one of the single biggest risk factors for suicide is the lack of connectedness to family, friends and professionals,” said Panichas and “while suicide prevention education may be what we are most known for, the biggest percentage of our Crisis Hotline/Listening Line calls are what we call daily supported callers, namely those callers who call every day as they navigate the stress of daily life. Some elderly callers, who have called since the agency opened, call just to say goodnight. Trained Samaritan volunteers help alleviate isolation and loneliness by offering nonjudgmental befriending that doesn’t interfere with professional care. We always encourage new callers to become daily supported callers. What is critical to us is so many people, for myriad reasons,

no longer access care or have supportive relations. We are there for them as well.” During the pandemic year 2020, of the 4,224 calls received by The Samaritans more than 61% were daily supported callers and of the 2,352 adult callers more than 26% were elderly. All calls to The Samaritans are free, anonymous and confidential. The number does not differentiate daily supported elderly callers from new elderly callers. “Our medical volunteers tell us three things about the truly suicidal. They are hopeless, believe no one cares if they live or die and, in the end, believe they have become a burden to family and friends and believing ending his or her life would be doing everyone favor. This partnership, between two, long-time, trusted Rhode Island agencies serving the state’s most vulnerable residents, sends a clear message that we care,” said Panichas.

The partnership features the distribution of 1,300 Samaritans Listening Line magnets and brochures to agency clients, staff training, newsletters and website updates as well as client, family and caregiver outreach and social media marketing. The elderly are considered at a higher risk for suicide. For the most recent suicide related data, please visit the websites for the U.S. Center for Disease Control and the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. Meals on Wheels of Rhode Island was established in 1969. For more about their mission, history and services, please visit: https://www.rimeals.org/ The Samaritans of Rhode Island was created in 1977.

Practical ‘Dadvice’ for Everyday Tasks From the host of the YouTube channel that went viral, “Dad, How Do I?,” comes a book of the same title that’s part memoir, part inspiration and part DIY advice. Rob Kenney wished he had someone who could teach him the basics – how to tie a tie, jump-start a car, unclog a drain, use tools properly – as well as succeed in life. In this book, he shares his story of overcoming a difficult childhood with an absent father through the strength of faith and family, and offers words of inspiration and hope. In addition, he provides instructions for 50 practical DIY projects, illustrated with helpful line drawings, as well as the occasional dad joke.

A Riveting Race Against Time

An Exploration of the Challenges Fathers Face

“New York Times” bestselling author Linwood Barclay returns with a riveting thriller, “Find You First.” Diagnosed with a terminal illness, tech millionaire Miles Cookson begins a search for the children he’s never known. Somewhere out there, after having been a sperm donor, he has nine unknown kids who might be about to inherit both the good and the bad from him – maybe his fortune, or maybe something much worse. One by one, Cookson’s heirs are vanishing – every trace of them wiped, like they never existed at all.

Growing up in Columbia, South Carolina, Craig Melvin, news anchor of NBC News’ “Today,” had a fraught relationship with his father. Lawrence Melvin was a distant, often absent parent due to his drinking as well as his job working the graveyard shift at a postal facility. A powerful, intimate exploration of fatherhood, addiction and resiliency, “Pops: Learning to Be a Son and a Father” is the story of their long journey to reconciliation and understanding, as well as an investigation of the challenges facing all dads.

SENIOR ISSUES

RETIREMENT SPARKS

by LARRY GRIMALDI

by ELAINE M. DECKER

Old Age is for anybody who gets there I’ve been reading a book my sister sent me of blog posts by the late Ursula le Guin. Le Guin shared my sardonic, self-deprecating style of humor. “No Time To Spare” takes Pollyanna optimists to task by challenging such bromides as “Old age is not for sissies”. Le Guin states flatly that old age most certainly IS for sissies. As she put it, “Old age is for anybody who gets there,” a truism that inspired this essay. There are a number of things I’ve noticed that you likely won’t escape when you get to old age. One of those is that you’ll shrink. Almost every one of your checkups after a certain point will yield a height that is below what’s in the file from your last checkup. I wasn’t tall to begin with. In college, I was occasionally recorded at 5’ 2”, but only if I had my hair in a top knot. I got 5’ 1 1/2” for decades. Somewhere after age 60, I clocked in at 5’ 1” and after 70, I went on a downward slide. I didn’t think too much about it. After all, how much difference can one inch make? I’ll tell you how much. A lot. There’s the obvious problem of not being able to reach things on the top-most shelves in the kitchen. I used to be able to finesse them down to me with a spatula. Now I need to get the step stool. Or my husband. Beyond that, once I reached 5’ and a sneeze, I discovered I had to really stretch to reach the faucet handles on the kitchen sink. We tend to collect puddles of water along that strip between the sink and the counter edge. When I lean in, I soak my top all along my midriff roll. Then I have to either change the top or toss it into the dryer. You may be thinking: “No harm, no foul here.” OK, but there’s more. We have pancakes on occasion. I make them in an old square electric frying pan that holds four at a time. There’s just enough room for the pan on the counter to the right of the center island cooktop. The cord goes over the edge to the outlet on the side of the counter base. I put a spoon rest behind the frying pan. After I’ve ladled out the four pancakes, I reach over the hot pan to put the scoop onto the spoon rest. At barely 5’, I often burn my forearm on the edge of the frying pan. I rarely did that at 5’ 1”. The study I’m in as part of my cancer treatment has me getting weighed every time I have infusions. They also measure my

height on the same scale where they take my weight. Because they have to be exact, if my shoes have any lift under the heel, they want me to take them off to measure me. I have an internal conflict over being happy I weigh two pounds less vs. wearing shoes that sneak in a little extra height. The shorter I get, the less I appreciate any weight loss. Moving on from things to do with shrinking… Here’s something else I’ve noticed about getting older. It takes longer to get ready to face the outside world in the morning. I used to wonder why my mother could never let me to pick her up for errands until after 10 a.m. The other day I realized that it had taken me an hour to do everything in the bedroom and bathroom before I could head out to the kitchen. My exact thoughts: “Good Lord! I’m becoming my mother!” Because I’m often too tired to do my floor exercises before I go to bed, I now do them in the morning as soon as I get up. They take 20 minutes out of the gate. Even though my hair is short, I brush it from the scalp downward 100 strokes every morning. Thank you, Georges Michael of Madison Avenue. It really has kept it from thinning out too much. Then there’s the time it takes to get dressed, most of which is spent trying to put on my socks. I can still reach my feet, but my gnarly toes refuse to cooperate. Those have become my mother’s, too. Not everything has to do with me. I have three senior cats. One has a food station in our bedroom. I freshen up her water bowl every morning. I also make my bed. Often there are at least two cats still on it, so it’s a challenge to tidy up without disturbing them. My advice is, no matter what your challenges are with getting old, be happy if you get there.

Older Americans Month Revisited When the calendar turns to May, memories of the 28 years I spent as communications director at the Rhode Island Department of Elderly Affairs (later the Rhode Island Division of Elderly Affairs (DEA) and rechristened as the Rhode Island Office of Healthy Aging in 2019) are rekindled. May is Older American Month (OAM) nationwide. The roots of OAM can be traced to a 1963 meeting between President John F. Kennedy and the National Council of Senior Citizens that focused on economic, social, and financial issues faced by a rapidly expanding elder population. In 1963, Census data indicated that there were only 17 million Americans 65 and older, and one third lived in poverty. There were few programs to address their needs. In 1965, the Older Americans Act was passed to develop community-based services for seniors designed to help them maintain their independence and preserve their dignity. The Act also created the federal Administration on Aging (AoA) and area agencies on aging for each state, Native American tribe, and U.S. territory. Senior Citizens Month became Older Americans Month in 1978. The AoA was recently rebranded as the Administration for Community Living (ACL). Today, there are 622 area agencies on aging. Services like Meals on Wheels, home health aides, and senior nutrition sites are well known. But true to its mission of providing community-based programs, legal services, volunteer opportunities, housing, financial and health insurance counseling, wellness programs, elder rights and advocacy organizations, caregiver education and assistance, respite care, long-term ombudsman services, elder rights, elder abuse prevention and many other initiatives fall under the ACL umbrella. The names of agencies serving the needs of seniors are not the only thing that has changed. According to the ACL 2019 Pro-

file of Older Americans, there were 52.4 million, approximately 17 percent of the popuation, persons 65 and older. The 65 plus population is projected to approach 94.7 million by 2060. In 2018, Rhode Island was home to more than 182,000 persons were 65 and older, 17.7 percent of the total population. The nation’s smallest state also claims approximately 21,000 people 85 and older, the third highest rate in the nation. The theme chosen for the 2021 OAM is, “Communities of Strength.” In his proclamation to mrk the observance, President Joe Biden declared, “Older adults have built resilience and strength over their lives through successes, failures, joys, and difficulties. Their stories and contributions help to support and inspire others. This OAM, we will celebrate the strength of older adults and the Aging Network, with special emphasis on the power of connection and engagement in building strong communities.” These remarks took on special significance given the backdrop of the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic. OAM celebrations have evolved since I began my career at DEA. One of the highlights of Rhode Island’s numerous state and local events was the annual Governor’s Centenarians Brunch. DEA would send out surveys and post public notices to locate as persons 100 or older, and persons who would reach their 100th birthday that year, to extend an invitation to the Brunch. Each centenarian would be awarded with a citation, with special recognition going to the oldest and youngest guest. As was the custom, the sitting Governor stopped at each table for a brief conversation with the honorees. The event was widely covered by the local media and was featured in a front-page feature story in the New York Times one year. The first such celebration I attended was held in the State Room at the State House. The Department had located slightly more than 50 centenarians and 25 attended the Brunch. By

the time I retired in 2015, more than 130 Rhode Island centenarians had been located and 65 were feted at the event. Due to growing attendance, the venue was moved to hosting assisted living facilities. Perceptions of aging have also changed. Looking at photos of my parents and grandparents, they seem to have aged beyond their years. In part, their appearance is due to a more difficult lifestyle than I enjoy. Toiling in poorly vented factories in close proximity to brews of toxic chemicals used to plate costume jewelry is not exactly a healthy work environment. The medical advances of the last few decades have improved also our health and extended our life expectancy. Better nutrition and a more active life have helped. Even the definition of a senior has become a subject for discussion and debate. At one time, the near-universally acknowledged age for senior status was 65. Today, most ACL programs define an elder as 60 and older. To make matters just a bit more confusing, some ACL programs use age 55 for eligibility. Full Social Security retirement benefits begin at 66 for many people. Depending on your birthday, you could be forced to wait until 66 and a specified number of months for full benefits. Still others can elect to begin drawing reduced Social Security benefits at 62. AARP starts soliciting your membership at age 50. It appear that “seniority,” is in the eyes and psyche of the beholder. Happy (if belated) Older Americans Month. If you are ambivalent about growing older, maybe this advice on successful aging from Sophia Loren will help you accept and embrace your age, “There is a fountain of youth: it is in your mind, your talents, the creativity you bring to your life and the lives of people you love. When you learn to tap this source, you will have truly defeated age.” Larry Grimaldi is a freelance writer living in North Providence. Comments can be e-mailed to lvgrimal-

FAMILY FEATURES

isiting a new or favorite destination is one way to travel, but that’s not always possible. If you can’t escape to a new location, consider taking a mental break in the comfort of your own home with tea as your companion. With many different varieties of tea to choose from, you can infuse your journey with flavor while enjoying wellness and relaxation benefits. Enjoy virtual travels – wherever you are – with these tips from the experts at Buddha Teas.

Rejuvenating Getaway

Even when you can’t get to a spa, tea can help you focus on wellness and refresh your body and mind. While yoga, meditation and massages can aid in recharging you physically and mentally, teas like chaga, detox dharma or mushroom wellness can further help you unwind. Chaga, a medium-bodied mushroom tea, can be enjoyed with honey or milk for a nurturing, peaceful escape. It can also help reset your center and give you a boost of healing energy without any caffeine. Mushroom teas blending flavorful herbs and spices can bring power and pleasure to your cup with remarkable immune boosting, wellness potential – no honey or milk is needed. If you’re seeking a total recharge, look for teas with organic ingredients such as ginger root, turmeric and black pepper blended with the super cleanser, burdock root, to create the perfect environment for your body to rid itself of all toxins.

Exploring Nature

If you enjoy hiking and connecting with nature, flower teas like Japanese cherry blossom, chamomile and lavender can be ideal companions. An option like Buddha Teas matches your appreciation for nature. The teas are 100% unaltered, organic and wildcrafted. They’re made from fresh herbs and tea leaves and packaged in bleach-free bags, so you can enjoy the purity of natural teas without harmful chemicals or additives.

Emotional Experience

Some journeys are more emotionally charged than others, from reminiscing trips down memory lane to quiet getaways intended to let you free your mind. A heightened sensory reaction to these kinds of emotionally significant destinations is best balanced with chakra teas. “Chakra” is the ancient Sanskrit word for the seven central points of energy that reside within, helping balance your physical, emotional and spiritual states.

Connecting with History

Seeing historical sites and learning about ancient people may inspire you to immerse yourself more fully in an unfamiliar culture. Root teas can help give you a taste of the unknown, such as green tea (Japan), dong quai (China), ashwaganda (India) or black cohosh (North America). Find more ways to experience the true taste of tea at buddhateas.com.

How to Make a Perfect Cup of Tea Creating a cup of tea that perfectly pleases your taste buds and accentuates the flavor of the variety requires patience and diligence. Consider these steeping steps from Buddha Teas, crafters of beverages using high-quality, fresh herbs and leaves from fresh, organic and wild plants. The sources are harvested, gathered and packaged with conscious care to help you experience the true taste of tea.

Step 1: Water

Use fresh, preferably filtered, water. Many teas, especially herbal, include subtle flavors that can be lost or altered if prepared using unfiltered water.

Step 2: Temperature

Measure the temperature of heated water using an electric kettle with a variety of settings or a cooking thermometer. Consider these temperature guidelines for different types of teas: n n n n n n n n

Black (200-205 F) Green (175-180 F) Blends (190-205 F) Matcha (175 F) Herbal (205 F) Oolong (185-205 F) Pu-erh (195-205 F) White (175-185 F)

Step 3: Steep

Once water reaches the proper temperature, pour water over one teabag per 8 ounces of water. (For a stronger brew, use additional teabags). Most teas require a 3-6-minute steep, depending on the type of tea and preferred strength. Herbal teas may take longer to reach full strength than black, green or white teas, sometimes up to 10 minutes. One thing to keep in mind: Each tea presents its own unique flavor profile, some naturally trending toward bitter. However, teas that are not naturally bitter will often become so if steeped at too high a temperature or for too long.

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

IRS offers overview of some tax provisions in American Rescue Plan Childless EITC expanded for 2021 For 2021 only, more childless workers and couples can qualify for the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), a fully refundable tax benefit that helps many low- and moderateincome workers and working families. That’s because the maximum credit is nearly tripled for these taxpayers and is, for the first time, made available to both younger workers and senior citizens. In 2021, the maximum EITC for those with no dependents is $1,502, up from $538 in 2020. Available to filers with an AGI below $27,380 in 2021, it can be claimed by eligible workers who are at least 19 years of age. Full-time students under age 24 don’t qualify. In the past, the EITC for those with no dependents was only available to people ages 25 to 64. Another change is available to both childless workers and families with dependents. For 2021, it allows them to choose to figure the EITC using their 2019 income if it was higher than their 2021 income. In some instances, this option will give them a larger credit. Changes expanding EITC for 2021 and future years Changes expanding the EITC for 2021 and future years include: • Singles and couples who have Social Security numbers can claim the credit, even if their children don’t have SSNs. In this instance, they would get the smaller credit available to childless workers. In the past, these filers didn’t qualify for the credit • More workers and working families who also have investment income can get the credit. Starting in 2021, the limit on investment income is increased to $10,000. After 2021, the $10,000 limit is indexed for inflation. The current limit is $3,650. • Married but Separated spouses can choose to be treated as not married for EITC purposes. To qualify, the spouse claiming the credit cannot file jointly with the other spouse, cannot have the same principal residence as the other spouse for at least six months out of the year and must have a qualifying child living with them for more than half the year.

Expanded Child Tax Credit for 2021 only The new law increases the amount of the Child Tax Credit, makes it available for 17-year-old dependents, makes it fully refundable and makes it possible for families to receive up to half of it, in advance, during the last half of 2021. Moreover, families can get the credit, even if they have little or no income from a job, business, or other source. Currently, the credit is worth up to $2,000 per eligible child. The new law increases it to as much as $3,000 per child for dependents ages 6 through 17, and $3,600 for dependents ages 5 and under. The maximum credit is available to taxpayers with a modified AGI of: • $75,000 or less for singles, • $112,500 or less for heads of household and • $150,000 or less for married couples filing a joint return and qualified widows and widowers. Above these income thresholds, the extra amount above the original $2,000 credit — either $1,000 or $1,600 per child — is reduced by $50 for every $1,000 in modified AGI.

Also, the credit is fully refundable for 2021. Before this year, the refundable portion was limited to $1,400 per child. Advance Child Tax Credit payments From July through December 2021, up to half the credit will be advanced to eligible families by Treasury and the IRS. The advance payments will be estimated from their 2020 return, or if not available, their 2019 return. For that reason, the IRS urges families to file their 2020 return as soon as possible. This includes many low-and moderate-income families who don’t normally file returns. Often, those families will qualify for an Economic Impact Payment or tax benefits, such as the EITC. This year, taxpayers have until May 17, 2021, to file a return. In the next few weeks, eligible families can choose to decline receiving the advance payments. Likewise, families will also be able to notify Treasury and IRS of changes in their income, filing status or number of qualifying children. Details will be available soon.

SAY YOU SAW IT IN THE REMINDER

ACCORDING TO DON by DON FOWLER

Remembering Restaurants from the ‘90s We were having dinner with friends at Twin Oaks, where, we are pleased to report, the restaurant is now as busy as it was before the pandemic. And what does the conversation consist of? Remembering former restaurants. People love to share their favorite dining out experiences, especially the restaurants from their past. Looking back on the end of the past century, our readers have suggested more of their favorites. Many new restaurants came and went during the nineties, providing opportunities for Joyce and I to review nearly one a week. Warwick was a hot bed for Italian and seafood restaurants, with many chefs graduating from Johnson and Wales and venturing out on their own. Remember Spumoni’s on Warwick Ave.? It was a good family-style spot, serving large portions at good prices. The Pepper Mill on Route 2 in Warwick was a popular spot to dine before going to the Warwick Musical Theatre. We loved the Bloomin’ Onion at Warwick’s Outback. Now you have to drive to Seekonk to enjoy it. The most popular was Rose Farina’s Golden Lantern. After the show, Rose would entertain the stars in her back room, where they could find their names on a plaque on their chairs. Her close friend, Liberace, designed her swimming pool. Pawtucket’s famed China Inn opened in the Golden Lantern spot. Unfortunately, it didn’t make it. The Pawtucket site is still going strong. Fred Castelluci, owner of the popular Archie’s restaurant in Pawtucket, opened Arcito’s at the old LL Evans in the Apex complex on Route 5 in Warwick’ We enjoyed June Moon’s Great House, which was literally a great house with an actual caboose for additional dining. Thai Nam was a popular spot on the Warwick/Cranston line, at a time when Thai food

was gaining in popularity in Rhode Island. Another Thai restaurant, Le’s, opened in the former Cape Codder, at 957 Reservoir Ave. in Cranston. And then there was De Ja in the center of Conimicut. Soli’s Steak House on Post Rd. in Warwick replaced two former fast food places, Arbi’s and Arthur Treacher’s. If you liked BBQ to go, Tex’s Chuck Wagon squeezed into a tiny spot at 980 Post Rd.. If you wanted cooked and prepared seafood to go, quahogger/fisherman Stuart Cornell and partners set up shop in Pawtuxet Village. We miss Tony and Susan Pap’s Pizza Patrol on Rolfe St. in Cranston, famous for their eggplant-zucchini- pepper pizza. Piccolo Paradiso, the small Italian restaurant on Gansett St. was a favorite of Mayor Traficante, Councilman Pagliarini, and PR person Ginny Shea, who introduced us to it. Stuffies on Atwood Ave. in Cranston was “where Challenges used to be”, and a number of restaurants and bars have been since. We fondly remember Rose and John and their homey Rose’s Family Restaurant at 456 Warwick Ave., which I described as “across the street from where the new Shaw’s is going”. A meatloaf dinner for $2,99 A two egg, toast and coffee breakfast for $1.25. Fish and chips for $4.50. Not only was the food great, Rose and John were about the friendliest people you would ever meet. Rose’s daughter Pat and husband Joe have carried on that great tradition at Cranston’s J.P.Spoonems. Pharmacist Vinnie Campagna had the right prescription for success for the Old Venice Restaurant in Warren. The House Special Fried Smelts made me a fan of the much maligned fish. Over on Rolfe St., Rolfe Street Station offered breakfast, lunch and dinner at

high quality and low prices. They were always crowded. Gio’s in Coventry was Rhode Island’s first proclaimed smoke-free restaurant. It also had great Italian food. Faye’s at 596 Broad St. in South Providence had great, authentic soul food. Fire + Ice in Providence Place Mall allowed you to choose your meats or fish and all the trimmings, and watch the chef cook it on a giant grill. One of the things I have missed during the pandemic is the Buffet. Whether a salad, Chinese, or homestyle buffet, being able to choose among many items has always interested me, one reason I enjoyed cruising. All gone are the King Buffet, China Buffet, Old Country Buffett, and Grand Buffett. The Four Flags Buffet at 957 West Shore Rd., home of the former Frederick’s, had lunch and dinner buffets that featured food

from the United States, Italy, China and Japan. As I was wrapping up this article I received a call from a former waitress at Howard Johnson’s on Jefferson Blvd, in Warwick. “I was there from 1968 to 1978,” she told me. “I met many Warwick Musical Theatre stars who stayed at the motel. I’m retired now, but I also worked at the Red Coach, Bugaboo Creek and Vallee’s Steak House.” Although she didn’t want me to use her name, she wanted to tell me about her favorites from the past: the Lion;s Den, Holland House, Lum’s, Great House, Stanley Green’s, Cherrystones (Now Top of the Bay), Maryland Chicken, and L.L.Evans, all in Warwick And here’s a couple I had forgotten: The Copper Galley in the old Providence Shipyard, The Red Rooster in North Kingston.

SENIOR ISSUES

Understanding fibromyalgia Pain is a fact of everyday life for millions of people across the globe. According to the National Fibromyalgia & Chronic Pain Association, one in nine adults in the United States suffers with severe, disabling pain. There are various types of pain, and fibromyalgia is one type that has garnered increased attention in recent years. The NFMCPA reports that roughly 10 million Americans have fibromyalgia and that the overwhelming majority of those cases are women. CanadaÕs Arthritis Society notes that fibromyalgia affects roughly 2 percent of Canadians, meaning itÕs as significant an issue in Canada as it is in the United States. What is fibromyalgia? Fibromyalgia is a chronic pain disorder that causes widespread pain and tenderness to touch. The pain and tenderness can increase and decrease over time, and the NFMCPA notes that symptoms can vary in intensity. Stiffness and cognitive difficulties that affect memory and the ability to concentrate are among the most prevalent symptoms of fibromyalgia. The American College of Rheumatology notes that people with fibromyalgia often suffer from fatigue and sleep problems. What do medical professionals know about fibromyalgia? Much is known about fibromyalgia, but unfortunately there is no cure for it. The causes of fibromyalgia are unknown, but the ACR reports that the latest research suggests the central nervous system is involved in the development of the disorder. The ACR also emphasizes that fibromyalgia is not a byproduct of an autoimmune, inflammation, joint, or muscle disorder. In addition, the ACR indicates that, while fibromyalgia may run in families, genetics alone do not cause it. However, certain genes may make certain people more likely to get fibromyalgia. Emotional stress may contribute to fibromyalgia. For example, the Arthritis Society notes that the onset of some instances of fibromyalgia have been linked to traumatic incidents or emotional experiences, such as car accidents or the death of a loved one. Can fibromyalgia be treated? Treatment can help people live with fibromyalgia, but a treatment that works for one person will not necessarily be effective for another. The ACR notes that both non-drug and medication-based treatments are available to patients diagnosed with fibromyalgia. People can discuss the pros and cons of the various fibromyalgia treatment options with their physicians to find the best solution for them. Fibromyalgia affects millions of people in the United States and Canada. Though it can be a painful condition to live with, people have options in regard to alleviating that pain and living as normal a life as possible. TF215971

Take Salad Season to the Next Level

FAMILY FEATURES

armer months typically call for lighter bites, and one of the first things that comes to mind for many is a fresh and flavorful salad. While a salad is a quick and easy way to up your veggie intake and get food on the table in next to no time, the same formula over and over again can make mealtimes feel mundane. To take your salads to the next level, think of those greens as a blank slate for creativity and look beyond the bowl for elements that can help create new, satisfying meals. For example, Fresh Express Chopped Salad Kits are tasty and versatile salad mixtures with premium ingredients that can also be eaten as sides with your favorite protein or used as toppers for favorites like pizza and tostadas to help kick mealtime up a notch. The salads are thoroughly washed, rinsed and gently dried then sealed in keep-crisp bags for long-lasting freshness. These easy Kickin’ Chicken Tostadas are made using the Kickin’ Bacon Ranch Chopped Kit, which includes garden fresh cabbage, green leaf lettuces, carrots, green onions, tortilla strips, uncured bacon bits and some heat from jalapeno ranch dressing. Just add the mixture to tostada shells topped with salsa verde chicken and avocado for a flavorful combination. Or for a tasty twist on traditional favorites like pizza and burgers, try this Thousand Island Burger Pizza using the Bacon Thousand Island Chopped Kit – a combination of iceberg and green leaf lettuces, uncured bacon bits, Parmesan cheese crisps, honey butter cornbread crisps and creamy Thousand Island dressing – to bring sweet and savory flavors together with beef and cheese on top of a homemade pizza crust.

Saints Peter & Paul Mausoleum

In the heart of St. Ann’s Cemetary, Saint Peter and Paul Mausoleum is the 22,000 square-foot mausoleum complex that will house 2,086 casket spaces, 552 marble front niches and 122 glass-front niches, according to Anthony Carpinello, director of Catholic cemeteries for the Diocese of Providence. Carpinello said more 300 casket cases have been sold thus far, but niches having been selling more since cremation has become more popular over the past several years. The cemetery already hosts six mausolea, but five are at capacity. The sixth is a holding crypt for about 100 remains that will be placed in the new mausoleum, according to the Rhode Island Catholic. Carpinello said that St. Ann’s mausoleums are the only ones in the state under the Diocese’s control. “It started out of a need for mausoleum space,” Carpinello said. “When I first arrived here there was

very little availability. The Catholic cemeteries were in a transition period They didn’t want to start a new project until a new director was named. By the time I got settled, there was an even greater need for mausoleum space.” Construction of the mausoleum began in April 2019, and Carpinello said that the project cost about $11 million. The Cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul in Providence inspired the design, which Carpinello said highlights the mausoleum’s connection to Catholicism. “Catholic cemeteries are consecrated ground,” Carpinello said. “Being consecrated ground, it is an extension of our church. Our Catholic faith teaches our faithful to live our lives in communion with the church and in death return to those grounds. So from the outside, it doesn’t look like your normal mausoleum, it looks like a church. That’s what makes it different since we are an extension

of our churches.” Each area is named for various local Catholic parishes and will have a stained-glass window dedicated to its namesake. All of the artwork throughout the mausoleum came from the former Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Church on Federal Hill. The corridors contain side-by-side crypts, true companion crypts and single crypts depending on location. Carpinello said that people may choose to place their remains in the corridor correlated with their parish, or in one that is named after a saint they had a particular fondness for. “We put a strong emphasis on giving every area a true meaning and having it depicted by artwork,” Carpinello said regarding the naming and theming of the corridors. “We didn’t want anybody to feel that one area was better than another.” The mausoleum will also have outdoor crypts in three

courtyards. While two of the courtyards will only offer true companion crypts, the third offers single crypts, side-by-side crypts and true companion crypts. For those who want a resting place that is still outdoors but not too exposed, the mausoleum will have four covered cloister areas named after the four Gospel writers. There will be all kinds of crypts here, as well as statutes of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Carpinello said that the mausoleum’s scope and design make it unique. “It’s one of a kind for anything in Rhode Island, and I’m told that it is the second largest in all of New England,” Carpinello said. Those who wish to purchase a casket or crypt can call 401.742.0796 or email b h e r r e n d i o c e s e o f p r ov i dence.org. Carpinello said that casket spaces start at $8,500, but the price may increase depending on where it is in the mausoleum.
