(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.

• On Dec. 2, 1777, Philadelphia housewife and nurse Lydia Darragh single-handedly saves the lives of Gen. George Washington and his Continental Army when she overhears the British planning a surprise attack. The British were stunned to find the army waiting for them the next day.

• On Dec. 5, 1872, a British brig spots the Mary Celeste, an American vessel, sailing erratically near the Azores Islands with not a soul onboard. The last entry in the captain’s log was dated 11 days earlier.

• On Dec. 4, 1945, the U.S. Senate approves full U.S. participation in the United Nations. A resolution designed to force the president to get congressional consent before approving U.S. troops for any U.N. peacekeeping forces was defeated.

• On Nov. 30, 1954, the first modern instance of a meteorite striking a human being occurs in Alabama when an 8.5-pound meteorite crashes through the roof of a house and strikes a woman.

She was not permanently injured.

• On Dec. 3, 1984, an explosion at a Union Carbide pesticide plant in Bhopal, India, leads to the worst industrial accident in history. At least 2,000 people died and another 200,000 were injured when toxic gas enveloped the city. Plant workers had failed to act when gauges showed a dangerous build-up of pressure in the tanks.

• On Dec. 1, 1990, over 130 feet below the English Channel, workers drill an opening through a wall of rock, connecting the two ends of an underwater tunnel linking Great Britain with the European mainland.

The completed “Chunnel” rail shuttle through the tunnel runs 31 miles and takes 20 minutes.

• On Nov. 29, 2011, Conrad Murray, the doctor convicted of involuntary manslaughter in the 2009 death of singer Michael Jackson, is sentenced to four years in prison. The pop star died after suffering cardiac arrest while under the influence of propofol. © 2021 Hearst Communications, Inc. All Rights Reserved

Well, why not bring them a copy of the paper and tell them how much you and your friends enjoy it?

Doctors recommend monoclonal antibody treatment (MABS) for COVID-19.

Many people start feeling better the next day.

Monoclonal antibodies are proteins that fight viruses, such as the virus that causes COVID-19. The treatment is fast, easy, and highly effective. It helps keep you from getting sicker and being hospitalized.

The earlier you start treatment after your symptoms begin the more effective it is, so get tested as soon as you have COVID-19 symptoms.

IF YOU TEST POSITIVE, ASK YOUR DOCTOR IF MABS IS RIGHT FOR YOU. Visit covid.ri.gov/treatment to learn more.

R H O D Y B E AT. C O M

Practice Gratitude

1. Keep a Gratitude Journal. Spend a few minutes each night thinking about three to five highlights from your day, then write them down.

You can reflect upon your gratitude journal whenever you need to be reminded of all the things you are thankful for.

2. Set Reminders in Your Phone. Harness technology for good and put in subtle reminders every day to be thankful. Reminders can come in the form of an inspirational quote, a compliment to yourself, or a simple activity like looking outside and admiring the changing colors of the leaves.

3. Take Three Deep Breaths. This easy practice can allow for one simple moment of gratitude. Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths, and start the flow of thankful energy. Be grateful for your breath, because you wouldn’t be here without it. Continue to meditate in that gratitude for a few seconds or longer if you choose.

4. Say Thank You. Say thank you to everyone in your life, from friends and family to colleagues to the check out person at the grocery store. Verbalizing your gratitude is a great way to cultivate it.

5. Smile. Smiling makes your brain happy and it’s proven by science. When a smile flashes across your face; dopamine, endorphins, and serotonin are all released into your bloodstream, making you more relaxed. Pick a day where you will smile at three random people as you walk by them, which communicates a sense of oneness and well-being.

6. Reach Out and Express It. Send a text message, make a phone call, write a post on social media.

A simple “thank you for making my life brighter” message, in any format, can go a long way to both the giver and the receiver.

7. Give Compliments Daily.

Whether you know the person or not, give compliments away as you think of them. Be genuine and specific. When Mark Twain said, “I can live two months on a good compliment,” he only told one side of the story. While the individual who receives the praise will appreciate feeling noticed and valued (and is motivated to do more of the same), the giver can also delight in the connection.

8. Put Inspirational Quotes Around Your House. Whether it’s written hastily on a Post-It note or framed as a piece of art, inspirational quotes and images can serve as reminders to be grateful around your house. That way, every time you sit down at your desk or walk down a particular hallway, that subtle reminder is there.

9. Slow Down and Savor the Small Things. Choose one everyday experience and take time to enjoy every aspect of it.

For example, if you take a walk in the morning, take in all the sights, sounds, and smells. Appreciating the small things will only allow for greater appreciation of the big things.

There is never a shortage of things to be thankful for if we just take the time to look. This Thanksgiving, be sure to cultivate an “attitude of gratitude” that can last throughout the year.

SENIOR ISSUES

by LARRY GRIMALDI

Echoes Still Resonate at Woodstock Looking down from the crest of a lush green slope descending to the natural amphitheater, you can almost hear the synthesis of music, history, and social unrest surrounding 450,000 rock and roll and folk fans. You can almost see the torrential rain turning this legendary festival site into one gigantic mud pit. You can almost feel the rumbling of conflicting ideals that linked the Woodstock Music and Arts FestivalThree Days of Peace and Music (August 15-17, 1969) to an increasingly fervent and boisterous anti-war sentiment. Fifty-two years later, echoes of the Woodstock Music Festival played out on Max Yasgur’s dairy farm still resonate over Bethel Woods.

Bethel, a tiny hamlet in upstate New York, was not supposed to be the venue for Woodstock. Twenty-something promoters Artie Kornfeld, Michael Lang, John Robert, and Joel Rosenman were forced to find a new location three weeks before the scheduled concert when the townspeople from Wallkill objected to the thought of hippies and rock bands disturbing their bucolic way of life.

The Woodstock Festival site was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2017. The adjacent Museum at Bethel Woods adds color, context, and perspective to this seminal moment in American counter-cultural history. Wave after wave of rock and roll and folk devotees descended on Bethel from across the country. Hordes of young people trying to get to Woodstock forced New York authorities to seal off Interstate highways and local roads.

Thousands of would-be concert attendees abandoned their cars miles away on gridlocked streets and trekked their way to the site on foot. When ticketless music pilgrims breached the security fences, Woodstock became a free concert.

The roster of performers reads like an anthology of rock and folk music Hallof-Famers, including Richie Havens, Arlo Guthrie, Joan Baez, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, John Sebastian, and Joe Cocker. The bands included Canned Heat; Santana; Credence Clearwater Revival (the first act signed to appear at the concert); Sly and the Family Stone, The Who; Jefferson Airplane; Country Joe and the Fish; Ten Years After; The Band; Blood, Sweat and Tears; Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young; and Sha Na Na, and many others.

At the entrance to the Museum, you can hear a selection of quotes from concert goers, townspeople, promoters and others involved in Woodstock experience. Yasgur, who became an unwilling cultural icon by defying town officials and neighbors by agreeing to allow Woodstock on his 600acre farm, later declared to the crowd, “The important thing that you’ve proven to the world a half a million kids, and I call you kids because I have children that are older than you, can get together and have three days of fun and music, and have nothing but fun and music, and God Bless you for it!”

Those same townspeople, including Hugh Romney, (alias Wavy Gravy) leader of the local commune called the Hog Farm, Leni Binder, the Sullivan County local who made thousands of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, and legions of volunteers banded together to provide food, medical treatment, and support to Festival crowd.

Cooperation, fellowship, tolerance, and un-

derstanding overcame logistical and practical challenges of hosting what was christened Woodstock Nation.

Another exhibit provides a dramatic counterpoint for what came to be known as the Summer of Love. Photos, military artifacts, draft notices, and other reminders from the Vietnam War reveal the uneasy political and social moods, and intergenerational mistrust and misunderstanding of the times.

America’s involvement in Vietnam began in the 1950s when then-president Dwight Eisenhower sent military advisors to Vietnam in a proxy war against Communist forces in North Vietnam, supported

by China and Russia. Additional military advisors were dispatched to the country in 1961. By 1969, there were 500,000 troops were fighting in Vietnam and the anti-war movement had reached a crescendo. Before the U.S. left Vietnam in 1975, without achieving military victory or over-throw of the Communist government, 2.7 million American soldiers fought in the conflict.

More than 58,000 were killed in action and another 304,000 were wounded. His reputation badly damaged by a campaign of misinformation to the American people about the Tet Offensive, Lyndon Baines Johnson declined to run for president in 1968.

The Museum at Bethel Woods is a retrospective on the music, fashion, media, and social trends of the era. At the Aquarian Theater, visitors can view a short documentary and listen to clips of musical performances. Other exhibits showcase tickets, programs, newspaper clippings, period bus and car exhibits, and other artifacts and memorabilia. Wandering through the Museum is a trip in the time machine for those of us who lived through that turbulent era.

After finishing my tour, I walked back to the field, closed my eyes, and tried to visualize a stage where some of the most influential musical artists of the day performed, and a sea of humanity camped on the hill.

I may have arrived 52 years too late, but I sensed the Woodstock aura and understood its impact on a war-weary nation struggling for unity and sense of common purpose.

Concert goer put the experience in perspective saying, As concert goer Jim Shelley, recalled, “We came for the music; we left with a legacy.”

Leaving the field, I wondering if heeding the lessons of Woodstock could heal our Republic and unify the nation. Can we rediscover a sense of common purpose? Can we reintroduce tolerance, respect, patience, cooperation and compromise into our national conscience? Can we return to civil discourse? Only time holds the answers.

SAY YOU SAW IT IN THE REMINDER

GIVING BACK

Ready, Set...VOLUNTEER what non profits look for in seniors Editors Note: Don Fowler spent his entire professional career as a non-profit Association Executive, and in retirement has found enjoyment on the other side of the desk. One of his primary responsibilities with the Boy Scouts, Chamber of Commerce, and two professional associations was to recruit volunteers. Don offers some suggestions for seniors looking for opportunities to volunteer…and what to watch out for in the process.

Why in the world do people volunteer? The fact is that most people don’t. Most men learned not to volunteer in the armed services. Most kids learned to never raise their hand in school, or they would be forever labeled with a nickname that would stay with them for years.

The word “Volunteer” is a misnomer. Webster defines it as “A person who enters or offers to enter into a service of his/her own free will, without being compelled to do so by law.” The reality is that most people “volunteer” because someone asked them.

Non-profit associations are always looking for committed, dependable people to serve of their Boards, become leaders, raise money, or just do the nitty-gritty jobs that need to be done.

In fact, many paid professionals’ suspicions are aroused when someone volunteers out of the blue.

What Non-Profit Leaders Look For: 1. Community Leaders. Organizations want volunteers who are well known and respected in their community . . . people who are not afraid to tap their friends and acquaintances for their money, time and assistance.

2. Diversity. In the old days, most boards were composed of middle-aged white males. Today, associations look for volunteers who better represent the people they serve. Women now serve as Presidents of local YMCA’s. Clients or former clients now volunteer for organizations that helped them in the past. Ethnic diversity is important to organizations, both at the Board level, and working in the trenches.

3. Busy people. People who just want to get out of the house don’t always make the best volunteers. Professionals look for people who are active, busy “doers”, basically those who know how to juggle their schedules and find time to assist.

4. People who are not afraid to ask for money. The old adage among the professional executive is that “People give to people, and not to causes”. If you are willing to help with fundraising, you are a prime candidate.

What To Watch Out For When looking for a place to volunteer, you should take a close look at the organization.

What are its goals? Who is on its Board of Directors? Is it financially stable?

Ask for: A Board list. Past minutes. By-Laws. Volunteer duties and responsibilities.

Past newsletters. Expect them to ask permission to do a security check, and willingly comply.

Watch out for: 1. Organization executives who undersell the role. “It will only take an hour a week/month of your time. “All you have to do is attend a few meetings a year.”

2. Professionals who appear to run the meetings without asking for input from volunteers.

3. Professionals who seem only interested in numbers and money raising. (Although these are important, occasionally some paid professionals become obsessed with making their own goals at the expense of volunteers.)

4. Rapid turnover in staff and volunteers.

Types of Volunteers 1. The truly dedicated.( I’ve seen people where I volunteer at the Food Bank and Food Pantry who are truly dedicated to helping those less fortunate.

2. Those who were asked; or coerced.( I’ve watched Scout Executives get a group of mothers in a room and tell them, “If one of you doesn’t volunteer to be a Den Mother, then your children won’t be able to be Cub Scouts.” And it worked.)

3. Those who do it for their children, grandchildren, close friends, or family members.

(This is true in many organizations dedicated to raising money and offering services for various diseases, like the Heart Association, American Cancer Society, etc.)

4. Those in need of personal satisfaction. (And there is nothing wrong with that. There are great personal rewards in serving as a mentor, Big Brother, or just baking cookies for the church or school bazaar.)

5. Those seeking personal gain. Professionals are wary of the social/business climbers who want to pad their resumes, or volunteer to make personal and professional contacts.

6. Those with ulterior motives. When I was a Scout professional, the idea of security and background checks was unheard of. Unfortunately, today volunteer organizations must protect their members by making sure that unscrupulous people are not allowed to participate. This is a very sensitive area, and one which has caused some controversy.

THE BOTTOM LINE Whether it is your church, the neighborhood school, a health organization, a program to assist those less fortunate, a youth organization, or the local senior center, there are hundreds of opportunities for you to volunteer.

Choose the one, or ones, that best fit your talents, interests, and desire to help.

Carefully check out the organization.

Offer your services. If you do not get a response within a reasonable length of time, scratch them off your list. If they don’t know enough to get back to you, they don’t deserve you.

You should feel fulfilled after volunteering. It shouldn’t be a chore, but rather a positive feeling that what you are doing does make a difference.

MEMOIRS

by SUSAN DEAN

Honoring Heroes I saw the sign every time I drove into my neighborhood: ParkView 5K Road Race November 11th - Veterans Day My husband Dave and I still run a few 5k races every year - the Gaspee race, the Downtown 5k, and a few others here and there. Always in the better weather - not too hot, not too cold - and when we’ve had ample time to prepare. Okay, so maybe it’s more like jogging - on the slow side.

So when I saw that there was going to be a race nearby, a brief “Should we do it?” entered my thinking, quickly followed by “No, too cold, too early in the morning, too late in the season, too little time to prepare, too this....too that.”

But during a conversation with my cousin, Duke Mellor, a few days before the race, I was told that his parents, Don and Helen Mellor, were going to be the Grand Marshals, honored at the start of the race for their service as veterans.

Uncle Don is 100 and a World War II Navy veteran. Before the pandemic he was visiting schools in Warwick and Cranston, bringing pictures and stories from his Navy days.

Aunt Helen is 97, and a World War II Coast Guard veteran.

Both of them have had much to share with us through the years about their experiences in the service of our country during wartime, and it is fitting that they were to be honored at the start of the race on Veterans Day. So I decided to run the race. Dave, sidelined with a knee injury, decided to walk the route. Besides honoring my aunt and uncle, I had another compelling reason to lace up my running shoes. It was my Aunt Helen who got me into running in the first place.

Helen began running in her late fifties. By the time she reached her sixties she was a regular in the “4-on-the-4th” 4-mile road race held annually on the 4th of July in Bridgton, Maine, where Helen and Don spent their summers after retirement.

Every 4th of July Don and Helen hosted all of us up in Maine - their six children and their families, my family, my brothers - all of our children - quite a crew making summer memories. The highlight of the week was the 4-mile road race. With Aunt Helen’s encouragement, I took up running in my thirties in order to participate in this family event.

Helen had a running rival. A woman in her age group who always seemed to reach the finish line just ahead of Helen. Helen didn’t know this woman, only that she lived in Maine and her name was Margaret. Every year Helen vowed to pass Margaret and get to

the finish line first. It became an annual joke - lots of good-natured humor leading up to the race - how THIS would be the year that Helen would prevail.

As the years went by, Aunt Helen and I continued to run the 4-miler through the wooded back roads and hills of Maine. Various family members ran with us, too, depending on who was around on the 4th of July in any given year.

My mother and Don, sister and brother, both had knee issues resulting in knee replacements. So they were our support team, waiting for us at the finish line, cheering for us and snapping pictures as we raced down the final stretch, exhausted, breathless, red-faced, and sweaty, but thrilled that we’d added another “4-on-the-4th” to our family history.

Helen almost always won an award. At first, it was 2nd or 3rd in her age group, and then it was mostly 1st and 2nd. And finally it was 1st, every time. Don proudly displayed her extensive collection of plaques and trophies on shelves he built using his expert woodworking skills.

Don and Helen sold their house in Maine in 2002. Nearing 80, Helen gave up running, but walked every day. She always told me that the key to a long and healthy life was to “keep moving!”

On Veterans Day Dave and I approached the starting line. Don and Helen were front and center wearing their Navy and Coast Guard hats, surrounded by a host of family and friends. The spirit of Veterans Day was in full force with the Honor Guard, flags, and speeches, and the many veterans of all ages who stopped by to greet Don and Helen, to talk with them, and to take their pictures.

As I ran the route, I thought about Don and Helen - members of the Greatest Generation. Their love for our country, their dedicated service, their resilience, their commitment. And their love for family and friends through a century of time.

November is a month for remembrance and gratitude. I am thankful for the years of loving memories that Don and Helen have given to our family.

I finished 8th in my age group at the end of the race. If I keep at it, maybe someday I’ll even make it into the top 3 in my age group - following in Aunt Helen’s footsteps and heeding her advice to “keep moving!”

Helen and Don Mellor - my family, my heroes.

Dear Debra, I do not feel attractive anymore...

My suggestion is to take a step back and use this time for a reinvention. Being married for so long you can get stuck in a pattern and ultimately feel like you are in a rut! I suggest getting a new hairstyleworking with a stylist to come up with a fun new look (something you’re excited about!). Check new fashion trends and try something out of your comfort zone! Use this time to rediscover your personal style!

Dear Debra- How do I get his attention (at a local senior center)?

I would recommend singling him out, with a lot of women at the senior center it can be hard to vie for his attention. Try asking him out to a local coffee shop and get to know each other. Most men are happy when a woman takes the lead and asks them out. It’s going to take a little confidence and chutzpah to make it happen!

RETIREMENT SPARKS

by ELAINE M. DECKER

Another Age of Aquarius In case you missed it, Mercury went into retrograde again from September 27 through October 17 and we’ve entered another Age of Aquarius. According to astrologers, this happens as a result of the “great conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn,” which takes place every 20 years. However, only once every 800 years does this occur in the constellation Aquarius. Even though astrologically the name of the sign implies water and its symbol is water, Aquarius is an air sign. With one exception, it’s the first time in 200 years that the great convergence won’t happen in an earth sign.

I have no idea what this portends, but stay tuned to my column. I might investigate it for next month, especially since noted astrologers tell us that Jupiter will remain in Aquarius for around a year, while Saturn will stay for two-and-a-half years. As a participant in the most celebrated Age of Aquarius (remember the 5th Dimension?), I’m compelled to Let the Sunshine In on how this new age will compare to the one in 1969.

Instead of bell bottoms, we now have Spandex Under Armour that leaves nothing to the imagination.

I speak from experience on this. Bell bottoms looked cool on women and men.

Spandex, not so much. And instead of Jesus sandals and Daughters of Olaf clogs (I had both), we now wear flip flops and Crocs (I wear neither).

Thanks to the Beatles, in the sixties and seventies, we wore colorful, flowing Indian kurtas. Now we see mostly drab hoodies on the street. My husband opened his SPECTRUM-INIDIA store on Thayer Street in Providence in 1967. It still

exists and you can find kurtas there to this day. Probably hoodies, too, but I’m not going to ask him about them. Those are so not Age of Aquarius fashion items.

True proponents of The Age wore flowers in their hair-down-to-there.

Now hair is either thinning and falling out, or men shave their heads bald. I didn’t go to San Francisco until much later, but I had waist long hair for years. Today I’m in the thinning camp, so I keep it short.

Other notable changes in societal and cultural habits you may notice? Sitars have been replaced with electronic synthesizers.

You don’t hear much Ravi Shankar music (he died in 2012); it’s Ed Sheeran in today’s news. Oh, and after a six-year hiatus, Adele came back November 19 with a new album. Ravi’s daughter Norah Jones is reasonably popular, but not because she

makes us nostalgic for her father’s music. Like Adele, she has a beautiful voice.

Following up on Indian influence, we don’t hear much about ashrams anymore, those communal living locales for free spirits.

Hippies from the seventies now live in condos or HOAs (Homeowner Associations).

In our current location, my husband and I are severely restricted even with regard to what we can display in our windows and on our doors and how many pets we can have. I’m not talking just goats in the yard.

Our HOA limits indoor cats to two per household.

As for food, there have been too many changes in diet to even begin to get into that here. But if the ads on TV are any indication, it does seem we’ve rediscovered Nutella. Can Ovaltine be far behind? And as for transportation, we’ve gone from that treasure, the

VW camper bus, to electric Teslas and hybrids. Those might be more practical, but they can’t possibly be as colorful or as much fun.

I can’t leave my review of my first Age of Aquarius without visiting some of my favorite TV shows. We had Laugh In (Sock it to me!) and Star Trek (Live long and prosper). The crew of the Enterprise might have gone “where no man has gone before”, but you’d have to be a hermit to not know that Captain Kirk (William Shatner) went to space in October aboard one of Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin New Shepard flights.

Sort of what goes around comes around. Now the hot TV property is some bizarre program from South Korea called The Squid Game. I keep reading about it, but I have no desire to investigate.

The seventies Age of Aquarius was known for peace, harmony and understanding. Words like trust and love were guiding principles. Sadly, today’s age is known for stress, anxiety and anger. Trust has taken flight. Let’s hope that the next Blue Origin expedition can find it again up near the edge of space.

Put a Zesty

Spin on Weeknight Meals

D

FAMILY FEATURES

inner in many households means foolproof recipes that families can count on, but those can become bland and boring. Finding new ways to put a twist on meals throughout the week adds fun to time spent in the kitchen while bringing new flavor to the table.

To help reinvigorate traditional weeknight dinners, chef Bobby Flay and Hidden Valley Ranch created the three-part Hidden Valley Ranch Night! series to debut dishes that bring bold flavor to traditional meals, such as these recipes for Ranch Crusted Burgers with Avocado Ranch Sauce and Ranch Seasoned Chicken and Mushroom Quesadillas with Tomato Salsa and Sour Cream. The series will provide a spin on weeknight staples to showcase the simplicity, versatility and zesty flavor of ranch seasoning when used to create familyfriendly dinners any night of the week.

Find more information, including series episodes and additional recipes, at hiddenvalley.com/ranch-night.

Pair and Pour Some Festive Holiday Cheer This Season

W

FAMILY FEATURES

hile holiday traditions and celebrations will likely look different this year, the season is still special.

Set the scene for a celebratory occasion by mixing festive cocktails or creating the perfect spread to complement your wines, beers, cheeses and even chocolates.

You can help make your spread delicious and affordable by relying on high-quality ingredients like those at ALDI. If you need inspiration, sommelier and lifestyle expert Sarah Tracey can help guide your palate with these festive ALDIexclusive pairings and seasonal cocktail ideas: Light and Refreshing – With aromas of Meyer lemon and flavors of fresh green apple and white peach, the crisp Landshut Riesling has a touch of delicate sweetness while still being juicy and refreshing. For a savory-andsweet combination, try pairing it with the Emporium Selection Plain Goat Cheese Log and Winternacht Milk Chocolate Domino Cubes.

Rich and Decadent – Indulge your senses with the aromas of butterscotch, warm baking spices and the velvety dark fruit notes of the Quarter Cut Bourbon Barrel Red Blend. This decadent red blend offers a smooth finish, similar to mulled wine without the extra work. The rich flavor pairs well with a smoked cheese like Emporium Selection Smoked Gouda as well as the Moser Roth Dark Chocolate Collection Caramel Sea Salt.

Savory with Brew – If a craft beer is more your style, consider a rich and creamy dark ale like a stout. Its robust flavors of roasted coffee beans and bittersweet cocoa combine for a sweet yet savory, earthy finish. Serve it with rich flavors like Emporium Selection Premium English Truffle Cheddar and add a touch of chocolatey sweetness with Specially Selected Cocoa Dusted Truffles.

Signature Libations – Up the ante on your holiday celebration with a special yet simple cocktail you can mix at home with confidence.

The secret to making the Mistletoe Mule is the 3-2-1 method: just pour wine for three counts, ginger beer for two counts and pomegranate juice for one count.

YOUR TAXES

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

IRS announces 401(k) limit increases The Internal Revenue Service announced that the amount individuals can contribute to their 401(k) plans in 2022 has increased to $20,500, up from $19,500 for 2021 and 2020. The IRS also issued technical guidance regarding all the cost-of-living adjustments affecting dollar limitations for pension plans and other retirement-related items for tax year 2022 in Notice 2021-61, posted on IRS.gov.

Highlights of changes for 2022 The contribution limit for employees who participate in 401(k), 403(b), most 457 plans, and the federal government’s Thrift Savings Plan is increased to $20,500, up from $19,500.

The income ranges for determining eligibility to make deductible contributions to traditional Individual Retirement Arrangements (IRAs), to contribute to Roth IRAs, and to claim the Saver’s Credit all increased for 2022.

Taxpayers can deduct contributions to a traditional IRA if they meet certain conditions. If during the year either the taxpayer or the taxpayer’s spouse was covered by a retirement plan at work, the deduction may be reduced, or phased out, until it is eliminated, depending on filing status and income. (If neither the taxpayer nor the spouse is covered by a retirement plan at work, the phase-outs of the deduction do not apply.)

Here are the phase-out ranges for 2022: • For single taxpayers covered by a workplace retirement plan, the phase-out range is increased to $68,000 to $78,000, up from $66,000 to $76,000.

• For married couples filing jointly, if the spouse making the IRA contribution is covered by a workplace retirement plan, the phase-out range is increased to $109,000 to $129,000, up from $105,000 to $125,000.

• For an IRA contributor who is not covered by a workplace retirement plan and is married to someone who is covered, the phase-out range is increased to $204,000 to $214,000, up from $198,000 to $208,000.

• For a married individual filing a separate return who is covered by a workplace retire-

ment plan, the phase-out range is not subject to an annual cost-of-living adjustment and remains $0 to $10,000.

The income phase-out range for taxpayers making contributions to a Roth IRA is increased to $129,000 to $144,000 for singles and heads of household, up from $125,000 to $140,000. For married couples filing jointly, the income phase-out range is increased to $204,000 to $214,000, up from $198,000 to $208,000. The phase-out range for a married individual filing a separate return who makes contributions to a Roth IRA is not subject to an annual cost-of-living adjustment and remains $0 to $10,000.

The income limit for the Saver’s Credit (also known as the Retirement Savings Contributions Credit) for low- and moderate-income workers is $68,000 for married couples filing jointly, up from $66,000; $51,000 for heads of household, up from $49,500; and $34,000 for singles and married individuals filing separately, up from $33,000.

The amount individuals can contribute to their SIMPLE retirement accounts is increased to $14,000, up from $13,500.

Key employee contribution limits that remain unchanged The limit on annual contributions to an IRA remains unchanged at $6,000. The IRA catch-up contribution limit for individuals aged 50 and over is not subject to an annual cost-of-living adjustment and remains $1,000.

The catch-up contribution limit for employees aged 50 and over who participate in 401(k), 403(b), most 457 plans, and the federal government’s Thrift Savings Plan remains unchanged at $6,500. Therefore, participants in 401(k), 403(b), most 457 plans, and the federal government’s Thrift Savings Plan who are 50 and older can contribute up to $27,000, starting in 2022. The catch-up contribution limit for employees aged 50 and over who participate in SIMPLE plans remains unchanged at $3,000.

Details on these and other retirementrelated cost-of-living adjustments for 2022 are in Notice 2021-61, available on IRS.gov.

JOHN LEMME formerly of DS Lorenson Well Drilling

New Dog Has Appetite for Doggie Door Flap DEAR PAWS CORNER: Help!

Our recently adopted dog “Mollie,” a medium-sized mixed breed, thinks the doggie door flap leading outside to the backyard is delicious. Rather than using it to go in and out, she grabs the edge, chews and tugs on it.

She growls when she does this. And she insists that we open the back door for her to go out. How do we fix this? — Mary T., San Antonio DEAR MARY: You’ll need to address this in two steps. First, you need to figure out if Mollie is chewing due to boredom or attention-seeking, or if she has separation anxiety due to trauma in her past. If she’s only chewing on the door flap and nothing else in the house, maybe there’s an old memory surfacing.

Second, you’ll need to repair or replace the damaged flap and train Mollie to go in and out of it confidently.

Here are a few methods: 1. Divert and distract: As soon as Mollie starts trying to chew the door, call her name to stop her and then distract her away from the door with something else that interests her, like a favorite toy or a treat.

2. Behavior training at the same time each day: Note when Mollie is most likely to start chewing on the door.

Then, conduct 10 minutes of behavior training in basic commands.

3. Train Mollie to use the flap correctly: Once she’s responding well to basic commands, add “going thru the flap” to her training. The AKC has a great tutorial here: www.akc.org/expert-advice/ training/dog-not-using-dog-door/ and this trainer’s video shows the clicker-treat method: www.youtube.com/ watch?v=-R_k4_UHDeA If these methods don’t work, consider a professional trainer to help identify and work through Mollie’s fears or bad habits.

BUSINESSSpotlight SPILL THE TEA

Check out their Emporium of handmade items, perfect for gift-giving

4372 Post Road, East Greenwich Monday-Saturday 8am - 5pm & Sunday 8am - 4 pm

By Jennifer Coates An unknown author once penned the sentiment: “A cup of tea makes everything better!” For Madison Fitts and Talia Anzivino, the co-owners and founders of Spill the Tea, no statement could be truer ~ for them, tea IS everything!

When these two college students, who also happen to be stepsisters, best friends, and fellow entrepreneurial spirits, were sidelined last year during the pandemic, they wasted no time being idle. These two like-minded fans of tea put their heads together and brewed up an idea which sprang to life in the form of sweet tea! Together, they created East Greenwich’s cozy and welcoming Tea Bar & Gathering Space, aptly named “Spill the Tea.” Today, Spill the Tea is home to a large variety of locally baked confections, hand-selected teas, richly blended coffees, and even hand-crafted gifts found in the recently configured “Emporium.” If you are looking for something personal, unique, and made by talented local artisans, swing by today for the perfect holiday gift.

Everything in this cozy tea bar, from the teas and coffees to the handmade gifts in the Emporium, holds an underlying purpose and that is to support locally-owned, women-run businesses. Supporting other women in their efforts to become financially independent, fiscally strong and equally represented in the world of small business ownership is a guiding principle of Madie and Talia.

An acute awareness of the importance of wellness, balance, mindfulness, sustainability, and accountability

are also integral to the lives and upbringings of Madie and Talia whose parents own Thrive Collaborative, a holistic wellness center housed in the same building as Spill the Tea. Recently, this closely-held relationship between Spill the Tea and Thrive Collaborative has yielded some exciting new opportunities including some fantastic events for kids. This month, kids got in on the wellness bandwagon with KIDS’ YOGA! Classes were held this November for boys and girls ages four and up. Sign up for the last class of the month on Saturday, November 27th and keep checking Instagram and Facebook for future offerings.

For now, come inside for a broad array of both herbal, non-caffeinated teas and classic blends at Spill the Tea. Talia and Madison have amassed a large, ever-changing

supply of teas of all flavors. The teas are soothing, healthpromoting, comforting, revitalizing and perfect for a typical New England late-fall day.

There are also fresh roasted coffees to choose from, roasted by the shop’s supplier herself with beans sourced from growers around the world ~ straight from South America (and beyond) to lil’ Rhody.

Spill the Tea is found at 4372 Post Road on the East Greenwich/Warwick line. Open Wednesday ~ Sunday, 9:00am to 3:00pm (please take note of these NEW winter hours). To learn more, visit them on Facebook and Instagram at SpillTheTeaRI or on their informative website at www.SpillTheTeaRI.com.

• Thanksgiving Tip: “Let one person be responsible for putting prep dishes, pots and pans in the dishwasher while another prepares the bird and side dishes for the table. You will be halfway done with dishes by the time the meal is over.” — M.A. in Washington • “Bake stuffing in muffin tins for individual servings. Also, if your family is anything like mine, we love the crispy parts, and everyone will get some this way!” — W.G. in Mississippi • “If you host a large family holiday gathering and serve a lot of side dishes, try this trick to them hot while waiting for other items to finish in the oven. Simply cover the bottom of a clean ice chest with a few trivets or a couple kitchen towels, and set casseroles and oven-cooked meats inside.

Most people use a cooler to keep things cold, but the insulation works just as well to keep hot things hot ... at least for a little while.” — M.E. in West Virginia • “An oldie but a goodie, and certainly considerate of dear old Mom: In my family, you come to Thanksgiving dinner with your own plastic containers for leftovers. If you don’t bring your own, you don’t go home with tomorrow’s lunch. Mom instituted this rule after the first Thanksgiving when all the kids had moved out. We practically cleaned her out of Tupperware!” — E.Y. in New Mexico • Recipe substitution: If you need 1 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice, use 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ginger, 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg and 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves.

Figural bottles were often used to package medicines as well as alcoholic beverages in the 19th and early 20th centuries. A cabin-shaped bottle with the embossed name “E.G. Booz Whiskey” led customers to use the word booze for drink, a term still in use. But how did a pig-shaped bottle become one of the most popular bottles to encourage buyers of medicine?

There are early 1800s pig-shaped bottles made of both glass and ceramics. The tail is the spout, and the bottle was displayed on its four short legs.

Suffolk Bitters, a medicine with a high percentage of alcohol, used the bottle about 1870. If you drank a lot, it made you happier and pain-free like any alcoholic beverage. Bitters were considered a medicinal drink, not alcohol.

The original amber Suffolk pig bottle had its name in raised letters on one side with “Philbrook & Tucker, Boston” on the other. There have been reproductions made in other colors and similar pigs with other names. At a Glass Works Auction online there were 14 bids before the new owner paid $1,170.

But why pigs for a product that doesn’t contain any parts of a pig? It is probably to encourage sales because there was a belief in the 1870-1890s that pigs bring prosperity and the drink in a pig bottle would bring wealth. *** My mother says her bracelet is made of bake-a-lite. What is that?

Bakelite is a plastic developed in the early 1900s. It was used for jewelry by the 1930s by major designers. The art deco jewelry became very popular. Bakelite was needed for the war in the 1940s, so the jewelry wasn’t made for about five years. About 1997, the deco jewelry was rediscovered by collectors, and books were published with information and color pictures

Q: A:

There have been copies of the antique Suffolk pig bottles in other colors of glass. The original bottle is 10 inches long and has a smooth base.

that made prices skyrocket. Bracelets with inset dots were selling for $300 to $1,000. Small pins were $75 to $300, and carved bracelets were about $500.

There is a good supply of plastic jewelry now that those who bought in the 1990s are older and “decluttering.” A recent Morphy’s auction sold about 600 pieces for a total of $43,000 (yes, I counted the pieces), with an average price of $70. *** CURRENT PRICES Movie, poster, Papillon, Steve McQueen & Dustin Hoffman portraits, The Greatest Adventure of Escape is Back, dated 1976, 41 x 27 inches, $85.

Cut glass, vase, Propeller pattern, Marshall Field, oval, step cut neck with horizontal ribs, double notched angular handles, 9 3/4 x 7 inches, $460.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) This is a good time to let that intrepid Aries temperament take charge. Your strong leadership will help settle those still-unresolved situations. Support comes from a surprising source.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Your problem-solving talents shine as you move to cool down heated emotions.

You also inspire trust in all parties when you act with careful consideration of their feelings.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) That long-delayed commitment begins to look better to you. But there’s still a crucial fact or two you need to know about it. A health problem needs to be taken care of.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Don’t waste time trying to learn why someone you relied on is wavering in his or her support of your stand on a workplace issue. Move on with the help of more steadfast allies.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) Relationships enter a brighter period, both at home and in the workplace. Prospects also look good for single Leos and Leonas, who can expect a welcome visit from Cupid.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Those mixed signals that were complicating your life are giving way now to clear, definitive guidelines.

This makes it easier for you to weigh your options and make decisions.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Ask your partner for an explanation of what seems to be a sign of strain in your relationship. The sooner you understand the problem, the sooner you can both act to resolve it.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) A new challenge in the workplace holds an exciting promise for the future. But be aware of the fact that you haven’t been told about all the demands you might have to meet.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Your financial picture brightens as you get into sorting out realistic goals and those that are not reachable at this time. “Caution” remains your fiscal watchword.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) You’re deep into your new project, and that’s just fine. But don’t neglect your family and friends.

Spending time with people you care for is always a wise investment.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Past feelings are suddenly reawakened. This could make you emotionally vulnerable. Be careful about decisions you might be asked to make at this time.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) You’ve come to a place where you’ll be facing important decisions that can affect your future. Rely on your strong moral compass to guide you toward making the right choices.

How to make early retirement a reality Retirement is something millions of professionals aspire to. Retirement isn’t necessarily when a person stops working forever. In fact, many retirees continue working as part-time volunteers and consultants.

Individuals have traditionally retired at the age of 65. However, the United States Social Security Administration indicates the normal retirement age (NRA) is the age at which retirement benefits are equal to the primary insurance amount.

Primary insurance amount is based on a certain formula that includes year of birth. For most people born in 1960 and later, NRA is 67. Choosing to retire earlier may result in reduced benefits. But people who have financially planned for an early retirement may not view a decline in SSA benefits as a deterrent. If early retirement is a goal, these strategies could make it happen.

• Use a retirement formula.

The retirement planning resource New Retirement says that the basic formula for retirement is to accumulate 25 times your annual expenses and then plan to draw down no more than 4 percent of that value every year. For example, if you spend $50,000 per year, then you need to have $1,250,000 in savings to be able

to retire. Budget to realize that savings goal. For those who have trouble calculating retirement figures, utilize this planner: www.newretirement.com/ retirement/planner-signup/, which offers various retirement strategies.

• Trim extra expenses. Reduce your spending to put more cash toward your future. Comb through credit card statements and look at various bills to see where you can save.

• Reduce your biggest expenses. Food, transportation and housing comprise most people’s largest expenditures.

Instead of routinely buying new cars, look for certified pre-owned models, which are equally reliable. Carpool to save money on commutes. Reduce food expenses by shopping sales and making eating out a luxury and not a regular thing.

Downsize your home, or rent out a room (or apartment if it is a two-family) to offset mortgage costs.

• Consider a government gig or another pension-backed job. Pensions used to be part of many companies’ benefit packages, but now they’re harder to come by. Focus employment on companies or careers that mean you don’t have to do as offer retirement perks that go much personal scrimping and beyond what a 401(k) offers. A saving for an early retirement. pension waiting for you may

With the right savings strategies, early retirement can be a reality.

Factors to consider before investing in real estate The appreciation of real estate over time has long made owning a home or an investment property a sound financial strategy.

Prospective home buyers spend considerable time looking for a property they’re hoping to call home. Various factors, including property taxes and the reputation of local schools, may be considered as homeowners decide where to look for a new home. That vetting process is equally important, albeit slightly different, when buyers are consider investing in properties they don’t intend to live in.

Real estate can be a great way to diversify an investment portfolio and earn extra income. Before shopping for an investment property, novice investors may want to consider certain factors to determine if real estate is the best investment vehicle for them.

Rental potential and the local labor force Location is a significant factor to consider when investing in real estate, but recent shifts in how and where people work could change the real estate investment landscape. A 2020 Gartner, Inc., survey of more than 300 financial executives and leaders in the finance industry found that roughly 25 percent will move at least one out of every five of their on-site workers to permanently remote positions in the years ahead. Economists note that this shift to remote working could be among the more lasting trends to emerge from the pandemic.

Before investing in real estate, prospective investors should examine local trends to see if more and more locals are working remotely, and wheth-

er or not that’s affecting the market for rentals.

To flip or not to flip Flipping properties gained popularity in the second decade of this century, but figures from the property database curator ATTOM Data Solutions indicates that returns on investments in flipped properties declined for the third straight year in 2020. Though flipping can still yield a strong return, investors may not realize the returns on flipped properties that they might have realized as recently as five years ago. Potential investors should conduct some research regarding real estate market trends, including flipping data where available, to make the most informed decision possible.

Condition of the property Product shortages were another trend to emerge during the pandemic, and disruptions to the supply chain will not necessarily go away anytime soon. In addition, the cost of various products associated with home improvements, including lumber, skyrocketed during the pandemic. The National Association of Home Builders noted that while lumber prices declined in 2021, the price of lumber packages quoted to builders remained high. That means real estate investors who invest in properties that will need work could be forced to pay a lot to fix these properties. And ongoing supply chain issues could extend the time it takes to renovate a property. Investors must be able to bear these costs and lag times to make the most off their real

Q: A:

Is the drama “All Rise” ever coming back? — J.T. CBS announced this past summer that it would not be renewing the legal drama “All Rise” for a third season. Greg Spottiswood, who created and ran the show, was fired by Warner Bros. following allegations of misconduct and racial insensitivity in the writers’ room. Even though a successor was named toward the end of season two, CBS chose not to renew the show.

The good news is that OWN (Oprah Winfrey Network) has resurrected it!

Star Simone Missick and most of the original cast will return for a 20-episode third season some time in 2022.

It doesn’t appear that Marg Helgenberger will return as Judge Brenner because she was cast in the NBC drama “Getaway” after “All Rise” was originally canceled. In addition to airing on the OWN channel, episodes will be available to stream via Hulu and HBO Max. *** I recently saw supermodel Niki Taylor on a cosmetics commercial. She was always my favorite. What has she been doing in recent years, and how old is she now? -– B.B. Niki Taylor was born in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, in 1975, and signed a contract with Cover Girl cosmetics when she was 18. She went on to model for Liz Claiborne, Versace, Anne Klein and Gap. In the past two decades, she’s co-hosted “Make Me a Supermodel,” with Tyson Beckford, was a competitor on “Celebrity Apprentice,” and appeared on several talk shows. In April, the 46-yearold Taylor signed on with Cover Girl again, the first time with them since her contract ended in 2000.

Sadly, Taylor suffered two major tragedies during the height of her fame. In 2001, she was in a terrible car accident in Atlanta, sustaining severe internal injuries and flatlining twice. Just six years earlier, Niki lost her younger sister, 17-year-old model Krissy Taylor, to a rare heart condition. *** I keep hearing about a show called “Succession.” What is

Q:

The Problem With Playing Pharmacist DEAR DR. ROACH: My wife has been diagnosed with atrial fibrillation. Doctors tried an electrical cardioversion, but it came back after a few days. She is taking metoprolol and Eliquis. We have read about the supplements red clover, turmeric, omega-3 and hawthorn. Should she discontinue the pharmaceuticals and take supplements instead? — J.C. ANSWER: Please don’t do that, and let me explain why.

Atrial fibrillation is an abnormal heart rhythm. The goal of treating it is first to relieve symptoms, such as fast heart rate and dizziness, and second, to reduce the risk of stroke. Blood clots can form inside the heart when the atria are fibrillating (a chaotic, non-coordinated muscle movement).

Those clots can break off and go into the blood vessels of the brain, causing cell death and loss of function in that part of the brain. That’s a stroke.

Your wife is taking metoprolol to slow the heart rate. Atrial fibrillation causes the ventricles to go too fast, causing a sensation of fast heart rate and palpitations. Metoprolol, a beta blocker, protects the heart from damage from a too-fast heart rate, in addition to relieving symptoms. Apixaban (Eliquis) is a powerful anticoagulant, reducing the risk of clot formation.

Red clover is usually used in herbal medicine for its estrogen-like activities.

Unfortunately, estrogens INCREASE clot risk, so this herbal medicine absolutely should not be used by someone at risk for clots. Sweet clover hay is the source of warfarin (Coumadin), anoth-

Wikimedia Commons

Simone Missick it about? Is there much language or violence? — E.K. “Succession” is a satirical HBO series about a dysfunctional family that owns one of the world’s largest media conglomerates. Scottish actor Brian Cox (“Deadwood”) plays the family patriarch, whose four adult children compete for control of the family’s empire. It stars recent “Saturday Night Live” host Kieran Culkin, Jeremy Strong, Sarah Snook and Alan Ruck. Now in its third season, “Succession” has amassed several Emmy Awards, including Outstanding Drama Series and Outstanding Lead Actor for Jeremy Strong.

Despite the cutthroat dynamic onscreen, Cox assured fans during an appearance on the “Late Late Show” that the actors all “gelled from day one” and became a family very, very quickly. As for its content, it’s definitely for mature audiences and contains a lot of explicit language, but not much in the way of violence. A great website for researching whether a series, film or book is for you or appropriate for your children is CommonSenseMedia.org.

er often-used anticoagulant in people with atrial fibrillation: This may be the source of confusion. However, warfarin needs to be dosed precisely, with frequent blood-level checks.

Turmeric is an antioxidant that does have some mild anticoagulant properties. However, it is not remotely powerful enough to do the job of protecting your wife adequately from stroke.

Omega-3 fish oils were once thought to reduce risk of atrial fibrillation; unfortunately, a 2013 study showed no benefit.

Hawthorn has two potential benefits: To a slight extent, it acts as a beta blocker (like metoprolol) as well as an anticoagulant. However, no trials have proven its effectiveness. It may interfere with both her medicines. The metoprolol and Eliquis have much more safety data. *** DR. ROACH WRITES: In a recent column, a reader noted she had a history of irritable bowel syndrome and described intermittent sharp rectal pain. My answer discussed control of her IBS. When I saw the column printed in the newspaper, weeks after I wrote it, I realized instantly that the diagnosis was probably proctalgia fugax, which is a spasm of the muscles of the anus. It is thought to be related to nerve compression.

I learned from my predecessor of this column, Dr. Paul Donohue, that sitting on a baseball or tennis ball can sometimes stop the pain instantly, and that creams and sometimes oral or inhaled medications can be effective in harderto-treat cases.

I also want to point out that I fell victim to something called an anchoring heuristic error. I read about my reader’s irritable bowel and became “anchored” to that diagnosis. Admitting an error and trying to understand why it happened are critical to reducing the likelihood of making the same error again. Anyone can make a mistake; it’s important to learn from them.

Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual questions, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible. Readers may email questions to ToYourGoodHealth@ med.cornell.edu. © 2021 North America Synd., Inc. All Rights Reserved

The oblong, light-yellow squash, which is approximately 8-10 inches in length, is packed with healthy nutrients, is low in calories, high in fiber and, best of all, has a super kid appeal because there's a surprise inside.

To the delight of your entire family, you'll discover that once baked, the flesh of the squash comes out in long strands that look like noodles. Its buttery, mild and slightly sweet flavor is ideally suited to be topped with tomato sauce and grated Parmesan mimicking a bowl of traditional spaghetti.

On another occasion, serve it as a tasty side dish tossed with pesto, a garlic-flavored herb butter or mixed vegetables and feta cheese. And when you prepare a roast, set the sliced meat and juices over the "noodles" for a robust weekend meal.

Here are four easy steps for preparing spaghetti squash, with a few tips tossed in to make easier work when handling it.

1. Preheat oven to 350 F. Wash the outside of a 2 1/2 to 3 pound spaghetti

squash and pat dry. Cut in half lengthwise. (Like most varieties of winter squash, it can be difficult to cut through the hard shell. I pierce the squash in several places with the tip of a knife and put it in the microwave for 2-3 minutes or more depending on its size to soften it a bit. Let it rest for a few minutes and slice in half with a sharp knife.)

2. Scoop out the seeds. A melon baller and small ice-cream scoop are easyto-handle kitchen tools for school-age kids to use if they are assisting you with this step.

4. Scoop out insides with a fork to remove the noodle-like strands. Place in a serving bowl or on a small platter.

Top with preferred toppings or combine with butter, seasonings or cooked vegetables. Serves 3-4. *** Find more family fun at www.donnaerickson.com. Write to Donna at Info@ donnaerickson.com © 2021 Donna Erickson Distributed by King Features Synd.

3 holiday crafts families can make together

D

ecorating for the holidays can be made even more special when decorations are handmade creations families can cherish for years to come.

Holiday crafting is an enjoyable way to pass some time and create lasting holiday traditions and memories.

The following are some crafts families can make

together.

Personalized elf For families who want to make their own personalized elf dolls, all it takes is a little computer knowledge, some clever photo work and a some sewing skills.

Find a template for a rag doll sewing pattern or an illustration of an elf online.

Superimpose an image of your child’s face on the template in a photo editing program. Print out the entire image onto iron-on fabric transfer paper. Iron it on to a light-colored piece of fabric from the craft store according to the product directions. Cut out the fabric with ironed-on decal, leaving about a one-inch

Holidays at the

Newport Mansions will be more spectacular than ever this year!

margin to allow for sewing and eventual stuffing.

Duplicate the shape of the doll onto another piece of fabric to make the back of the elf doll. Place the front elf image face down on the back piece of fabric and sew the edges together, leaving a small opening at the end. Using that opening, flip the elf right-side out and stuff with pillow fill material. Sew the small opening closed and enjoy a personalized elf doll for the holidays.

Holiday candle This craft is attractive and also smells good. Gather one bar of fragrant soap (like Irish spring); a small, white washcloth; red and green ribbon; a round of colorful mesh or tulle fabric

measuring roughly 12 inches or enough to wrap your bar of soap; craft glue; a piece of yellow felt cut to look like a flame; and one or two sewing pins. Roll the washcloth into a cylinder shape to serve as the “wick” of the candle. Glue the edges together and wrap a piece of ribbon diagonally around the wick and adhere to secure even further. Glue the felt flame to the top of the wick. Place the soap in the center of the round piece of fabric.

Attach the wick vertically to the soap using the pins.

Then gather the tops of the mesh fabric around the base of the wick and use another piece of ribbon to tie into a bow and secure the fabric to the wick base.

The soap and pins should now be concealed. Place the “candle” out of direct sunlight and away from heat, preferably on a little dish so the soap will not damage any furniture.

Growth indicator ornament Purchase a large glass or plastic Christmas tree ball.

Select an acrylic paint in your color of choice and squirt some into a paper plate. Have a child dip his or her hand into the paint and then transfer the handprint to the ornament. Let dry and then attach a ribbon to hang on the tree.

Through the years see how much children have grown from that little handprint.

Make Chanukah special with these traditions

F

or eight nights each winter, candles burn in commemoration of a miraculous and joyous event. Chanukah, often referred to as the Festival of Lights, commemorates an ancient miracle that occurred after the Jewish people waged a hard-fought battle against religious oppression.

A small contingent of Jewish warriors led

by Judah Maccabee rebelled against Syrian Greek rulers who desecrated the holy Second Temple in Jerusalem and tortured

and persecuted those who did not adopt their religious beliefs. After the Maccabees came out victorious, they set out to rededicate the Temple, which included lighting a menorah. They could only find enough oil for the candelabra to burn for one night.

Miraculously, the oil burned for eight nights and the Temple was kept holy. This miracle is the inspiration for Chanukah.

Various iconic Chanukah traditions have been borne out of that evening in 164 BCE. Below are some of the most promi-

nent traditions associated with Chanukah festivities.

Lighting the menorah

The menorah is traditionally a seven-branched candelabra lit by ritually-pure olive oil used in Jewish places of worship.

However, in commemoration of the Chanukah miracle, a special menorah, called a hanukkiah, is used. This menorah is a nine-branched version that enables a candle to be lit for each day the rededicated Temple candles burned. The middle, highest candle from which the others are lit is called she shamash. The hanukkiah is traditionally placed in a visible space, such as the front window of celebrants’ homes.

Playing with the dreidel

Jews were forbidden from studying their own religious texts like the Torah, but they found ways to do so anyway. They would quickly hide their books and take out spinning tops to pretend to be playing with them when the Greeks were watching. In commemoration, these little tops, or dreidels, are taken out on Chanukah. The dreidels are marked with four Hebrew letters, which represent the phrase “nes gadol haya sham,” or “a great miracle happened there.”

Eating fried foods

Frying foods in olive oil has become tradition and a way to acknowledge the miraculous Temple oil burning. Jelly-filled doughnuts called “sufganiyot” are popular, as are latkes, which are fried potato pancakes.

Gifts to excite the family athlete this holiday season

Donations and gifts In addition to Chanukah gelt (small chocolate coins) and money given out to children and adults, many Jewish families make “tzedakah” (donations) to nonprofits and other charitable organizations during Chanukah.

The sixth night of Chanukah has recently become associated with charitable giving and other gifting.

Family time In addition to these traditions, Chanukah is an ideal opportunity for Jewish family members to gather under one roof. It also may be an opportunity for them to share their celebrations and religious customs with non-Jewish friends.

Chanukah is a celebratory time that looks back to a significant miracle in Jewish history. It’s an opportunity to engage in many different traditions with family and friends.

Keeping You Warm & Cozy At Home for the Holidays and all Winter!

Home gym equipment can make for a great gift this holiday season.

to mimic the challenges posed by nature or difficult competitive terrains.

Noise-canceling headphones or earbuds: Many athletes relish their workouts not only as opportunities to zero in on their fitness goals, but also as chances to block out distractions and clear their heads for an hour or two each day. Noisecancelling headphones or earbuds effectively block out external noises, allowing athletes to direct all of their focus on their workouts and training sessions.

H

oliday shoppers know that few things can match the joy of finding the perfect gift for a loved one.

Whether that loved one is a tiny tot who can’t wait to unwrap this year’s must-have toy or an adult hoping to find the latest gadget under the tree on Christmas morning, the thrill of giving a great gift is part of what makes the holiday season so enjoyable.

Friends and family members may fall into certain categories, and that can make holiday shopping a little easier. For example, loved ones who can’t wait to sit down with a good book would no doubt appreciate a new e-reader or the latest bestseller. When it comes to gifting the family athlete, the following ideas can provide the inspiration shoppers need to put a smile on the face of fitness-minded friends and family members .

Weighted vest: Weighted vests have gained popularity in recent years.

Available from a variety of manufacturers and for athletes of varying skill levels, weighted vests can be ideal for athletes who want to burn more calories and build strength during their workouts. This can be an especially useful gift for endurance athletes who want their training sessions

Energy drinks: Though it might not seem like the most exciting gift to unwrap on Christmas morning, energy drinks are vital to many fitness enthusiasts’ athletic endeavors. For example, endurance athletes may appreciate a tub of Osmo Active Hydration Performance Drink Mix, which contains an optimal ratio of sucrose, glucose and electrolytes, helping athletes improve their endurance and power while reducing instances of cramping and fatigue. Energy drinks make for a perfect stocking stuffer.

Home gym equipment: Pandemicrelated gym closures turned athletes into their own personal trainers, and some may not want to return to local fitness facilities even now that they’ve safely reopened.

Home gym equipment can help athletes continue to build their own private home gyms, making items like kettle bells, dumbbells, weight benches, and resistance bands great items to put under the tree this holiday season.

It’s never been easier to shop for the family athlete during the holiday season. A heightened focus on fitness ensures there’s something for every type of athlete on your holiday shopping list.

What to get young professionals this holiday season

seamlessly transition from the office to their home office during the work week.

H

oliday shoppers relish the moment when a loved one unwraps a gift and immediately smiles widely.

Hitting the nail on the head in regard to a holiday gift is its own reward, and there’s no shame in looking around for some inspiration to find a gift loved ones will truly cherish.

Shopping for young professionals this holiday season could be a little tricky, as changes sparked by the pandemic continue to affect work environments. However, shoppers can still find gifts to make young professionals happy this holiday season.

Home office essentials: Many businesses have welcomed workers back to the office, but some are taking a hybrid approach to being in the office. Many professionals who once went into the office five days a week are now spending one or two days a week at home. Others may still be working remotely full-time. Holiday shoppers can take this into consideration when shopping for young professionals and look for some basic home office essentials. A comfortable office chair, a monitor that can be paired with a company-issued laptop and even a single-serve coffee pot for young people accustomed to getting their morning coffee on the way into the office can help professionals

Messenger bag: Looking the part can boost young professionals’ confidence as they begin their careers. A leather messenger bag is a stylish and sophisticated way for young professionals to carry their laptops and other workday essentials to and from work. Professionals working in especially formal environments may prefer a leather briefcase, which creates a more traditional look for young people who will be entertaining clients or shuffling from one business meeting to another.

Business card holder: Though they might not be as prevalent as they once were, business cards remain an effective way for young professionals to build their networks. An elegant, monogrammed business card holder can help young professionals make a strong first impression.

Luggage: Business travel may not be back to its pre-pandemic levels just yet, but many young professionals will undoubtedly still appreciate an upgrade over the luggage they used in college. If designer luggage is a budget buster, look for a sturdy, elegant alternative that young professionals will be proud to tote around on their first official business trip.

Business may still be unusual as the world continues to emerge from the pandemic.

But shoppers can look to some old favorites as they search for the perfect gifts for the young professionals on their holiday shopping lists this season.

10 gifts for automotive enthusiasts

T

he roar of the engine and the feeling of the wind in your hair is part of the magic of taking to the open road behind the wheel of a beloved vehicle.

Whether a person is the ultimate gear head who needs to have the latest aftermarket accessory or someone who simply appreciates a pristine ride, auto enthusiasts come in all shapes and sizes. Luckily, there are all types of automotive gifts that can make it easy to impress car guys and gals this holiday season.

1. Dashboard cell phone holder: Using a mobile phone while driving is not a good idea. However, many people use their phones as GPS devices. Holding a phone while navigating is dangerous, but a phone

mount near the dash can keep the phone visible without compromising the safety of drivers and their passengers.

2. Customized floor mats: Know an auto fanatic who’s also a sports fan?

Offer a gift that mixes the two passions, such as floor mats featuring a favorite sports team’s logo.

3. Cleansing wipes: When drivers are short on time, a full car wash and wax may not be possible.

Drop Wipes are a product made from a neutralizing acid that destabilizes stains or bird droppings for an easy cleaning.

4. Magazine subscription: A wide selection of publications are geared to auto enthusiasts. They provide plenty of pertinent

information, and some car lovers like to collect and display certain issues. Yearly subscriptions are affordable and can make ideal stocking stuffers.

5. Racing experience gift certificate: Research racing car schools and experiences where you live.

Chances are you can find an opportunity for an automotive enthusiast to get behind the wheel of a race car with professional drivers offering tips for navigating the course at high speeds.

6. Car cleaning kit: Taking care of a ride means making sure it is clean inside and out. A quality car cleaning kit can ensure the job is done effectively and the car or truck always looks its best.

7. Personalized leather

keychain: Ensure that a person can drive and keep their keys handy in style with leather keychains engraved with a driver’s name or initials.

8. Racing video games: A love for the open road may not end when cars pull into the driveway. Modern racing games and consoles produce incredibly realistic

graphics and action that mimics real life.

9. Automotive cufflinks: As a nod to a love of driving, find quirky cufflinks that are shaped like everything from gear shifters to speedometers to steering wheels.

10. Roof or car racks:

When a love of driving merges with the call of the great outdoors, drivers may need something to help haul their stuff. Various racks have been designed for toting around bicycles, kayaks, luggage, and more.

When gifting automotive enthusiasts, look no further than their favorite hobby for inspiration.

THE RIVALRY

For Effective Advertising Call 821-2216

Coventry has never beaten West Warwick three times in a row....The Oakers won the contests in 2018 and 2019.

West Warwick leads the series, 45-11.

There have been two ties, including a scoreless tie in 1967, which was played at the old West Warwick Athletic Field under a driving rainstorm.

The rivalry is the first meeting between Oaker head coach Gary Goodhart, and Wizards head coach Wes Pennington.

The game has been broadcast almost continually each year since 1972, when it was covered live by a broadcast crew that sat atop an Ottaviano’s Fruit and Produce truck, that rose above the stands at the West Warwick Athletic Field in Riverpoint.

Happy Thanksgiving!
