Compared with commercially frozen burritos, these taste better and are far healthier. Just look at the ingredients on frozen burrito packaging if you need further con vincing.You’ll find that these belly-filling burritos are easy, inexpensive and delicious, and you get to choose exactly what to put in them.
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
Total Time: 40 minutes
8 burrito size flour tortillas
Cool Solution for Quick and Easy Lunches
You’ll need burrito-size (10-inch) flour tortillas for this purpose. They come in packages of eight, so that’s the quantity used for this recipe. If we’re going to the effort of making burritos to freeze, might as well make a whole bunch, as this recipe easily multiplies.Theburrito rule of thumb is one generous cup filling for each 10-inch tortilla. If you’re making eight burri tos, you’ll need eight cups filling.
2 pounds (85/15) hamburger
2 cups cooked rice
The easiest way is to assembly-line the process, with extra hands if possible.Usually, when life is complicated, I’d suggest taking something off your plate. Instead, I’m suggesting putting something on your plate that’s delec tably easy. Buen provecho!***
How to fold a burrito: Warm the tortillas for easier handling, either individually in the microwave for 10 seconds each, or heat the whole package in the oven by wrapping the tortillas in foil and heating for 10 min utes at 350 F. Spoon fillings onto each tortilla just below the center. First, fold in the sides that are perpendicular to the lines of ingredients. Pull the bottom edge over the top, squeezing the filling toward you as you roll the burrito away from you. Continue roll ing, leaving the seam at the bottom.
Preheat a large skillet to medium-high; cook the hamburger until no longer pink. Drain excess fat and add the tomato sauce and taco seasoning, stirring to com bine. Add the defrosted pepper and onions, squeezing most of the liquid out before adding, and cook thoroughly. Let cool.
Life is complicated, right? So let’s make one thing very uncompli cated. Why not put lunch on auto pilot?Here’s the plan: We’re going to make a bunch of delicious heatand-eat burritos to stash in your freezer for a quick on-demand lunch, snack or dinner.
Meanwhile, gather the rest of the ingredients and warm your torti llas. It’s unnecessary to heat any of the other ingredients because we’re freezing these. Evenly divide ingredients between the tortillas, and fold and freeze as directed above.

One issue people have with making burritos at home is folding them so they don’t burst and make a mess. My tip: Don’t overfill them! A 10-inch tortilla can handle no more than 1
How to heat a burrito: Take a burrito from the freezer, remove the foil and wrap in a damp paper towel. Place the wrapped burrito on a plate and microwave on high for 2 to 3 min utes, until heated through. You also can heat foil-wrapped burritos in the oven at 350 F for 20 minutes. That’s best for heating several at once.
Yield: 8 burritos
1 (16 ounce) bag frozen pepper and onion blend, defrosted
How to freeze a burrito: Place burritos seam side down on individ ual pieces of foil. Wrap tightly in the same manner as you folded the torti llas. Use a permanent marker to date and label them. Place in a freezer-safe bag and freeze for up to three months.
1 (15.5 ounce) can refried beans

If you are ever fortunate enough to pass through the doors of the Chapel of St. Therese of Lisieux, there are a few things you should expect:
Two, you should expect to see others just like you ~ gay, straight, or any other way you identify. No one is excluded here.
The Chapel of St. Therese of Lisieux is an independent Catholic Community that functions outside the jurisdiction of Rome. As Father Charles Vohs, the congregation’s Priest explains, this is a faith community whose mission it is to reclaim those whose experiences have left them feeling marginalized by the traditional Catholic Church. The church is a haven for those whose abiding faith in the teachings of Jesus Christ have not always been in alignment with their lifestyles, leaving them feeling estranged, con icted, and often unwanted. Father Chuck
Please come to “Saint T’s”, located at 1500 Main Street in West Warwick. Services are every Sunday at 10:30, either in person or via Zoom. Feel free to call 401-680-9076 or email stocc1500@gmail.com for more information. The website is also a great resource, visit them at www. go1500.org.
Six, you should expect a welcoming hand, an outstretched arm, an embrace, and an invitation to return.
All are welcome at The Chapel of St. Therese of Lisieux in West Warwick. On October 1st, the church will be hosting a dinner to celebrate the Feast Day of St. Therese of Lisieux in the community room (or, if rainy, at Father Chuck’s home).
Our church stands as a beacon of hope in West Warwick. We are a place of acceptance, peace, and joy to all who are moved to join us. Our church family is richly diverse, with people of di erent ages and backgrounds coming together to worship and serve together.”
Three, you should expect to see a volunteer clergy who receive no compensation for their dedication, service, and commitment to their congregation.
A quick peruse of the chapel’s website best sums up the church’s mission: “The Chapel of St. Therese of Lisieux welcomes all individuals seeking God’s love; we keep our doors open to every soul seeking to welcome Jesus into their hearts. We invite you to open your heart and allow His grace to penetrate your soul.
BUSINESSSpotlight Come as you are to this Independent Catholic Church
Four, you should expect to see women serving alongside their male counterparts as ordained Deacons, Ministers and even married Priests.
Recently, the chapel underwent some major renovations including a new roof and paint job. Like so many of us, it needed a long overdue “makeover.” Constructed in 1902, the building, which was a former Methodist Church, was purchased in 2014. Today, it is a magni cent and historic structure with tall arching beams, exquisite stained-glass windows, gracious statues, and familiar emblems of the faith and worship.
One, you should expect to feel completely at home ~ man, woman, child. You are home when you are here.
Five, you should expect to see divorcees partaking in all the rituals and blessings that their married and single friends enjoy.

The ability to work remotely has opened up di erent opportunities for the millions of people who work 9 to 5 each day. While the advantages to remote work are too numerous to count, logging hours from the sofa is not necessarily a panacea for all working ills.

• Floating vanity: Add an airy feeling to the room by creating space between the vanity and the floor. A floating vanity can be a counter with a vessel sink or even have cab inets, as long as the vanity doesn’t extend to the floor.•Freestanding traditional sink or tub: There’s something elegant about a freestand ing tub or pedestal sink. Such features can lend a classic vibe to a space. However, free standing fixtures also come in modern or eclectic forms, so there are options for any de sign style.
• Install a window: Natural light and air flow can reduce the risk for mold and mildew growth, and windows add some aesthetic ap peal to a space. Just be sure to choose frosted privacy
• Frameless showers: Switch to a walkin shower option, which improves aesthet ics and makes it easier to “age in place” in a home. Pair that frameless shower with clear glass shower doors so sightline in the space remains unencumbered.
• Special shower heads: Invest in show er heads that can run the gamut from creating steam showers to rainfall effects. Some show ers will have multiple shower jets to offer an invigorating experience.
considerations for a bath remodel include heated floors, well-placed and attractive storage options and a toilet en closure (water closet) for added privacy. These and other bathroom renovation ideas can add value and improve the appeal of the room.

Veteran homeowners recognize the value of remodeling their kitchens and bath rooms. Kitchens and baths tend to appear dated more quickly than other spaces, such as living rooms and bedrooms, which can always be revamped with some fresh paint and new furnishings.The home improvement pricing re source Home Guide indicates an average bathroom remodel costs anywhere from $5,500 to $15,000 depending on the size and scope of the renovation. However, a bath redo can increase a home’s resale value and can re turn as much as 68 percent of homeowners’ investments. As homeowners plan their bath room renovations, it’s a good time to consider improvements that will improve function and add design appeal for years to come.
• Natural textures: Create a calm and serene sanctuary in the bathroom with light, natural hues and materials. Nature-inspired colors on tiles, walls and vanities can add to the spa
• Small textured tile on shower floors: Small textures are appealing and add safe ty. The added texture and grouting will keep feet from slipping on wet floors. Also, opt for mold-resistant grout to make cleanup even easier.

“Thor: Love and Thunder” (PG13) — The fourth film about Mar vel’s much-beloved god of thunder is now out on streaming. Taika Waititi returned after directing the previous sequel (“Ragnarok”), which became the most successful film of the series so far. With the vision of making this a more romantic journey for Thor’s (Chris Hemsworth) character, Waiti ti brought back Thor’s ex-girlfriend, Jane Foster (Natalie Portman), who gains her own powers and can now wield Thor’s old hammer. Funny enough, Christian Bale (“The Dark Knight” trilogy) decided to dip his toes into yet another superhero uni verse but, this time, as a villain! He plays the angry, god-killing Gorr, who Thor, Jane and Valkyrie all must team up to defeat. (Disney+)

Remodeling a kitchen adds value to a home. Remodeling Magazine’s “Cost vs. Value Report” indicates mid-range kitchen remodels cost about $66,000, and homeowners can expect to recover about 60 to 80 percent of that cost at Homeownersresale.may wonder if remodeling their kitchens is worth the investment. But homeowners should not just consider cost, but also the current conditions of their kitchens when deciding if a renovation project is the right move to make. These signs indicate it may be time to renovate a •kitchen.Breakers are triggered: If the lights go dark from a tripped circuit breaker every time you try to microwave and run the toaster oven at the same time, your wiring is likely not up to the task of handling the workload and could be out of date. A kitchen remodel will assess wiring load needs and an electric overhaul may be nec•essary.Lackof storage: One of the biggest hassles homeowners encounter in their kitchens is a lack of storage space. If making a meal involves a Jenga-like stacking and rearranging of kitchen tools, or if an avalanche occurs whenever you search for an item, you might need more storage. A carefully planned redesign can achieve this, even in a smaller kitchen.

To help football fans stay on track this season, Marino is sharing his best tips to lose weight and get healthier.
Keep it Simple: Men, especially, need things to be simple. If your goal is to lose weight, look for programs like Nutrisystem that are easy, take the guesswork out of dieting and deliver your favorite foods made healthier right to your door. Plus, they have great game day foods like popcorn, pizza and burgers to ensure you’re making good choices.
Get Moving: Get up and off the couch! Call up your friends and organize a game of football or shoot some hoops. I love to hit the golf course and I often walk instead of grabbing a cart. This way, I’m getting in extra exercise.
kickoff to football season is here again, and with it comes pizza, beer, wings and more. In a poll of 2,000 American men conducted by OnePoll and commis sioned by Nutrisystem, 37% said they usually gain weight during football season from September to January, with 53% claiming they gain 10 pounds or more.
But football season doesn’t need to wreak havoc on your overall health, wellness and weight loss goals. Just ask pro football Hall-of-Fame quarterback, Dan Marino.
Make a Commitment: It all starts with a commitment. You make a commit ment to yourself to get healthier and then you find a game plan to do it. When you see results, you’re motivated to keep going to reach your goal.

Seek Support: Studies show that individuals lose up to 20% more weight when dieting with a partner. Find that teammate who will help motivate you to stick with your wellness goals.

“After playing pro football for 17 years, my knees took a beating and I had to have both of them replaced. Couple that with the stress of the COVID-19 pandemic, and I couldn’t exercise or do the things I wanted to stay active, so I put on some weight,” says Marino. “I knew I needed to make a change, turned to Nutrisystem and lost 26 pounds.”

Tips to Keep Health Goals on Track During Football Season

The most important thing to remember is keeping up with your health and wellness doesn’t need to be hard. It’s all about balance. If you find yourself over-indulging as you’re watching the game, that’s okay. Commit to getting back on track the next day.
Focus on Protein: Protein keeps your hunger in check and will keep you from grabbing those not-so-good for you game day foods. Aim to get your protein from foods like meat and fish, eggs, dairy products, nuts and nut but ters. For an afternoon snack, I always grab a Nutrisystem shake, which is packed with protein to keep me full until dinner.
Advice from Dan Marino
For most AFib patients, treatment begins with medication. Medications can be used for controlling your heart rate, rhythm and blood thickness, but about half of patients don’t respond to or can’t tolerate medications. Catheter ablation is a procedure to restore the heart’s incorrect electrical signals that cause an abnormal heart rhythm. It is recommended by the American College of Cardiology, the Heart Rhythm Society and the American Heart Association for patients when medication proves to be unsuccessful.

3. Can I take this medication with the other medicines I’m already taking?
About 1 in 4 adults over the age of 40 are at risk of developing AFib. The causes are wide-ranging and include non-modifiable and lifestyle factors. Some non-modifiable risk factors include age, family history and a heart disease diagnosis.

Her 2022 installation will include 34 works of art, ranging in size from small, tabletop sized to expansive.Grabel says that her style has evolved from expressionist to abstract expressionist. Her work, she says, “Is fueled by my exuberance, imagina tion, intellect and love of color and motion. Noth ing is rendered realisti cally.” She credits Pierre Bonnard, Henri Matisse and Vincent Van Gogh as inspiration for her expres
Making lifestyle changes to control factors such as obesity, smoking and sleep apnea may help lower your risk. Limiting alcohol and caffeine consumption and controlling your stress can also reduce your risk and may help manage AFib episodes.
StoneRige resident Trisha Grabel, 88, has been creatively inspired by the light, ocean and beautiful scenery of West erly and Mystic. She has produced an extensive collection of acrylic paintings over the past five years and the culmination of her artistic efforts will be on view at a solo exhibit and sale at the Tapped Apple Cidery & Winery, 37 High Street, in Westerly through October 20.
If you’re concerned about your risk of AFib, consider these questions to ask your doctor at your next visit:

3. Am I at risk of stroke?
1. Why are you recommending this medication?
More than a quarter of adults living with AFib have fears and anxiety about the progressive nature of the disease, according to a survey conducted by Biosense Webster, Inc., part of Johnson & Johnson MedTech. However, a quarter of patients did not get treatment immediately after diagnosis and 44% of patients have ended up in the emergency room due to their condition.
The Tapped Apple Cidery & Winery exhibit will be Gra bel’s first solo show in 10 years. She has exhibited in galleries in New York, Connecticut and Rhode Island. Her work was also included in a tri-state juried show at the Katonah Museum of Art in New York.
AFib is the most common type of cardiac arrhythmia or abnormal heart rhythm. It occurs when the upper chambers of the heart, called the atria, beat rapidly or in an uncontrolled manner. AFib can cause a wide variety of symptoms, including heart palpitations, fatigue, shortness of breath, difficulty exercising, anxiety, chest pain and dizziness.
Speak to Your Doctor
If your physician recommends medications:
Despite half of adults 55 and older believing they may be at risk for AFib, only one-fifth (18%) said their doctors have ever discussed AFib with them and even less (10%) have proactively spoken to their doctors about it. Recognizing symptoms and talking to your doctor as soon as possible can help prevent the progression of AFib.
AFib impacts nearly 40 million people worldwide, according to research published in the “International Journal of Stroke,” including 6 million people in the United States alone. Despite its prevalence, many people are unfamiliar with the symptoms, available treatment options and importance of early treatment to avoid disease progression or other life-threatening complications such as a stroke.

Years after her post-war return to England, Grabel was introduced to her future hus band on a blind date. Dan Grabel was a New York-based news writer and reporter with the TODAY Show.

Hearing all the mentions of SCOTUS and Roe v. Wade in the news had me thinking of water-related activities: row vs. wade. This in turn made me picture a side of a new Monopoly board game: SCOTUS Row, with properties Wade, Breast Stroke and Butterfly. From there, it was full speed ahead to a 2022 revamp of that classic game. I’m limiting the number of players to six. The new tokens to choose from are: Tesla Model S, iPhone, COVID Spiked Ball, Spiced Pumpkin, Kale Leaf, and AvocadoSimilarToast.to SCOTUS Row, which launched this new initiative, there will be Congressional Row, with Senate and House properties, and Executive Row, with stops on POTUS, VPOTUS, and FLOTUS.

Another side will house the Food Court Mall, with stops for shops on Organic Boulevard, Vegan Way and Gluten FreePepperedAvenue. throughout these rows and alleys, as per the classic board, will be various taxes and utility companies. There won’t be a Luxury Tax, or even an Income Tax, but you should hope to avoid expensive stops on Health Care Tax and Real Estate Tax.

Good news for theatre lovers, the theatre season is back to normal with several new plays of particular interest to seniors opening this September.
“The Inheritance”, winner of the the atrical Olivier Award, is an epic play of three generations trying to forge a future for themselves that opens Trinity Reps season on the 1st of September. The epic play, like “Angels in America, is performed in two parts, with Part 1 being two and a quarter hours long and Part 2 being two hours and ten min utes. The play takes place at the height of the AIDS epidemic in America, and has been described as funny, romantic, and intriguing. The characters are sim ilar to the characters in E. M. Forster’s “Howard’s End”. Part 1 will be per formed September 1 through October 5, and Pat 2 September 22 through November 1. Call Trinity at 521-1000 for reservations.
can be etched with thin or thick outlines using just black ink or in a full image displayed with color. They can be small or large, or on a sleeve covering arms, legs, or other parts of the body. They can also be drawn in Jap anese, Polynesian, Philippine or other ethnic traditions. Many times, the tattoos offer a glimpse owner’s life story. For instance, my sister sports a tattoo on her foot with the word Nona, a popular Italian name that acknowledges her status as a grandmother of three. A tattoo is artwork displayed on a body canvas.
In remembrance of my father, there is an image of my father’s watch. My father passed away in 1983. That tat too is a reminder that timing is everything in life. An other tattoo depicts a bunch of roses in tribute to Kathy’s mother. She passed away in 2016. She loved roses and that image serves as a reminder that life isn’t always roses and we must learn to deal with our challenges. One tattoo in the sleeve is etched with the date July 11, 2017. On that date, his cousin Mark died in a tragic industrial accident. An angel sits close to Mark. The branches and leaves near Mark honors his memory in our family tree.
My wife and I are very lucky to have developed a warm and loving relationship with twins and their 12-year-old brother Nicholas over the years.
In the majority of cases, tattoos have special mean ings for those who get them.
Sophia’s is a testament to her love of animals. Kailyn’s tattoo is a tribute to a life we have shared. One thing is un doubtedly true. Their tattoos, like Matt’s, come from the heart.
Tattoos From The Heart
Tattoos are available in an endless variety of designs. You can get inked with your birthday, wedding anniversa ry, or other important life event. You can get tattooed with the name of someone special to you, a spiritual symbol or quote, your favorite animal, geometric shape, military designation, or virtually anything that suits your imagina tion.Tattoos

If tattoos can be said to come from the heart, the sleeve of tattoos that my son Matt has on his left arm focuses on his devotion to family and a sense of spirituality. Inside his bicep is tattooed the word “Family.” On his shoul der, close to his heart and watching over our family, is St Christopher, the patron saint of protection.

A little more than 22 years ago, at age 51, I had a small Yin-Yang image tattooed on my upper right arm. According to Wikipedia, Yin-Yang is a graphic symbol of Chinese origin in the form of circle divided evenly into
Perhaps the simplest description of Yin-Yang was not ed by Jonathan M. Swift in the June 1, 2022 edition of the Washington Post when he described it as “a figure that in Asian traditions signifies a balanced embrace of opposing forces.”Recently, our college sophomore twins Kailyn and So phia decided get tattoos. Sophia chose an inking outlin ing an elephant on her right ankle. Elephants have always been her favorite animal. Kailyn had the Yin-Yang sym bol etched into her upper right side. I was honored that she chose the same symbol as mine for her tattoo.
hat used to be the almost exclusive domain of soldiers, sailors, Marines, merchant sea men, motorcycle devotees, non-conformists, and members of ancient tribal nations, has now expanded into the public cultural square. It’s the age of the tattoo; and both men and women have eagerly engaged in this social trend. Drive down any main street and you’ll see quite a few tattoo parlors, either in strip malls or in standalone shops. Unless you are cloistered in a monastery, I’m guessing that a day doesn’t go by when you don’t see someone adorned with a tattoo. Tattoo emporiums with catchy names like Altered Images, Tattoo Paradise, Once Upon a Tattoo, Aqua Dots, Elegant Ink, or Inkphonic, to name just a very, very few of the more creative labels, are almost as numerous as wellness centers, convenience stores. or donut shops.

A few years ago we flew to Iceland for a long weekend - hiking up a glacier, standing beneath a waterfall, riding Icelandic horses (I love horses, but I was
When I got married for the second time in 2000, my new husband, Dave, was a tennis player. I had dabbled in tennis, back when tennis balls were white, and even took a class in it as a senior at URI in the 1970s and in need of an elective. I think I managed a C - well, looking backmaybe those heavy wooden racquets were to blame!So when Dave suggested that we spend our first anniversary in August of 2001 at a tennis camp in New Hampshire, I had my misgivings. But the word “camp” appealed to me having spent many child hood summers at Girl Scout camp and lov ing every minute of those experiences. So I bought two tennis skirts (figuring I had to at least look the part!) and off we went. We were in different groups due to our differing skill levels, but I thoroughly enjoyed learning the game and hitting balls with my tennis level peers in the clear, refreshing air, blue skies, and surrounded by green Andmountains.although it was called tennis camp there was no sleeping in tents with mosquito nets, no cleaning latrines, and no campfires. The whole group stayed in the same comfortable hotel and we shared all our meals together talking tennis, but also getting to know each other - jobs, families, etc. The only similarity to camp as I remembered it was the friendship and camaraderie of shared experience. I found that tennis, as well as being a fun and chal lenging physical sport, was a fun social sport, too.We decided to spend our next anniversary up at tennis camp, and then the next, and the next, and on through the years, many times encountering many of the same people who were also repeat attendees.By 2006 I was a more skilled ten nis player than I had been in 2001, but I wasn’t playing much in-between our annual summer excursions. Dave had a regular group he was playing with on courts near his job in Newport and was also playing inside during the winter months. I needed to find more opportunities to play.
terrified as we trotted over steep hills cov ered with rocky lava fields!), and relaxing in the natural hot springs. We even spent nearly a whole night chasing the northern lights for a glimpse, but the clouds eventually won out. It was a glorious trip filled with adventure and fun.
It’s amazing how life’s twists and turns can take us in many different directions and can lead us down paths we never imagined.
We had brought our tennis rac quets with us to Maine, too, and found a public court where the four of us played a few sets the day before our sail. I often look back at the pictures from both Iceland and Maine and smile at the memories we cre ated together.Through the years we’ve main tained a routine of sharing lunches or din ners every month or so - trying new restau rants around the state. We’ve shared joys and personal losses, too, as good friends do as the years have passed.
Jane, Marcia, Jackie and I now range in age from our sixties to our eighties, and we’re still going strong, still looking for new adventures to share. We’ve gone kayaking a few times - in Wickford, on the Narrow River, and also on the Providence River and upper bay. There’s been talk of going whitewater rafting or maybe taking another trip overseas. And we’re never far from the tennis courts, still playing and running and hitting the balls as if the years have melted away.

We have another friend, Roy, who also plays tennis with us at Roger Williams Park. He and his wife, Shirley, own a condo up in New Hampshire just steps away from our tennis camp. Our tennis friends have joined us for many of our summer tennis camp visits and we’ve had the added bonus of gathering at Roy and Shirley’s condo for post-tennisJane,festivities.Marcia, Jackie, Roy, and Shirley - the years march on, but on the ten nis courts we’re young again - maybe with a few extra aches and pains here and there - but young in every other way, laughing, sharing, and having fun reminiscent of our childhood summer days.

Yes, who can imagine life’s twists and turns that take us in many different directions and lead us down paths we never imagined. Jane recently told me that taking up tennis was one of the best things she did after her retirement because it led her to meeting all of us. Tennis - a lifelong sport - with unexpected friendships formed over ground strokes, lobs, serves, and volleysdeep friendships forged on the courts that last a lifetime off the courts, too.
Again, the camaraderie was a sec ondary benefit to the fun of playing tennis. I began to form friendships. Jane, Marcia, Jackie and I began to play together regular ly. We ranged in age from our fifties to our seventies, and through the seasons we’ve shared many good times together.
We went to Maine another time. Jane, who had planned our Iceland week end, found an opportunity to sail on a boat with a female skipper, who offered a day of sailing which included allowing us to be her crew for the day. I have pictures of each one of us at the helm while the rest of us helped with the sails. Our sailing day ended with wine and cheese and crackers on the boat while watching the sunset.
In 2006, after our week at tennis camp, we discovered the clay courts at Roger Williams Park. There were clinics for all levels along with regular match play. We joined and began playing there regu larly from April to October.
MEMOIRS
Housing is the cornerstone to our ability to thrive in our community. But many of us are grappling with big decisions when it comes to where we will live as we grow older. Does our current home still work for us or has it become too big, too expensive, too hard to maneu ver in? If we want to downsize or need support to live independently, are there accessible, affordable homes or apartments available?
The workshop, which will take place virtually on September 21 and 22 from 1-4 pm (and, of course, is free for everyone) will bring together local leaders, housing practitioners, and AARP staff and volunteers to explore how communities nationwide can provide safe, afford able housing options for individuals and families of all backgrounds, incomes and abilities.

best practices, insights and inspiring next steps for meet ing the housing needs of a changing nation.
Know the when, where, and how. Then vote.
So many older Rhode Islanders live in homes, especially older homes, that were designed without mobility considerations. Many have multiple levels, and many built up from street level. Or they’re just too big, with too many steps and requiring exhaust ing upkeep of space no longer needed. And too often, smaller homes or apartments that might better serve your needs can’t be found in your community or are simply beyond your means. ADUs can fill that gap.
AARP - RHODE ISLAND by CATHERINE TAYLOR
I’m excited to share news about an important national event coming up later this month that takes on these questions: The 2022 AARP Livable Communities Workshop: Housing for People of All Ages
Is it your goal to age in place in a community that you love, and that also fits as many of your needs as possible? If so, you are envisioning a livable community.
Through four core themes — Housing Choice, Design, Stability, and Equity – the workshop will share
AARP Rhode Island’s mission is to help our 130,000 members, and all the 50+ and our families, live the lives we choose as we grow older. Creating truly livable com munities is central to that work. Communities committed to becoming places where people of all ages and abilities can adopt features such as safe, walkable streets; wel coming outdoor spaces; better housing and transporta tion options; access to key services; and opportunities for residents to participate in civic and community activities and to be respected and included.
If you are reading this after the conference dates, do not despair. Speakers and sessions will be posted soon after the event at www.aarp.org/Livable2022.
ON TO THE NOVEMBER GENERAL ELECTION! Voting gives you the power to decide what our future looks like. But you have to be in the know to vote. AARP Rhode Island is here to help. We’ve collected the most up-to-date election information, including key dates and deadlines, to make sure that the voices of voters 50-plus are heard. Make sure you’re prepared to vote and know the safe and secure voting options included in the new, AARP Rhode Island-backed Let RI Vote Act. You can also find our updated Video Voter Guide posted along with all the latest election information at aarp.org/RIvotes.
One panel will highlight efforts to diversify housing choices in order to provide more options for meeting the needs of people of all ages, abilities and incomes. Emily Hamilton is a senior research fellow and director of the Urbanity Project at the Mercatus Center at George Mason University. She will be joined by Tya Winn, executive director of the Community Design Collab orative, a Philadelphia-based architectural nonprofit, and an advocate for affordable housing and community development.Anotherpanel that will discuss efforts to design housing for people of all ages and ability levels, espe cially for older adults and residents with disabilities, fea tures Jennifer Molinsky, project director of the Housing and Aging Society Program at the Harvard Joint Center for Housing Studies, and Cynthia Shonaiya, an architect with 30 years of experience spanning three continents and the senior living market sector leader at the design firm Hord Coplan Macht.
A recent AARP Vital Voices Survey revealed that more than 54% of Rhode Islanders age 45 and older said they would consider building an ADU. In fact, 7 percent surveyed said they have already added an ADU. And a strong majority (84%) said they strongly support or somewhat support town ordinances that make it easier for property owners to create an ADU.
AARP Rhode Island is here to help. I hope you will take advantage of these opportunities to learn more about housing options as we age, and that we make Sep tember a “livable” month that will lead to great things in your life.

HOLLYWOOD — Move over, Tom Cruise, your aspirations to become a musical movie star at 60 are being challenged by 26-year-old Tom Hol land (from the latest “Spider-Man” films). While Cruise hasn’t announced his project yet, Holland has committed to star in an untitled biopic on Fred Astaire. Unlike Cruise, who only toyed with singing in movies until he played a rock star in “Rock of Ages,” Holland portrayed the titular charac ter in “Billy Elliot the Musical,” from 2008-2010 on stage in London. Ironi cally, Jamie Bell, who played the role of Billy Elliot in the 2000 film, is also set to star in an Astaire biopic for Ama zon titled “Fred & Ginger.” But, first, Holland has to deal with his mental health, admitting, “I find Instagram and Twitter to be overstim ulating, to be overwhelming ... I spi ral when I read things said about me online, and ultimately, it’s very detri mental to my mental state. So, I decid ed to take a step back and delete the app.” Social media was instrumental in catapulting his film “Uncharted,” with Mark Wahlberg (a $120 million cost that lead to $406.7 million grosses.)

ter, Cedars settled for an undisclosed amount, which must have been more than the $1 million that the anesthesiol ogist’s medical group paid them before their court date. The times I was fortu nate to be in Bill Paxton’s company, he was cheerful, funny and an all-around regular guy who happened to be a mov ie star. It was a great***loss.
In 1985, Paramount Pictures made a film based on the popular board game “Clue.” Despite casting some of the best comedic talents of the day — like Eileen Brennan Tim Curry Madeline Kahn Christopher Lloyd Michael McKean, Martin Mull and Lesley Ann Warren — the film fell short $400,000 of recouping its $14.6 million cost. Now, a remake of “Clue” is in the works, starring Ryan Reyn olds. Will the creators improve on the screenplay of the original, or are they “Clue-less?”©2022King Features Synd., Inc.

Bill Paxton was an amazing actor and a wonderful human being. Some of his most popular films were “Weird Sci ence” (1985), “Aliens” (1986), “Tomb stone” (1993), “True Lies” (1994), “Apollo 13” (1995), “Twister” (1996) and “Edge of Tomorrow” (2014). In early 2017, he entered Cedars-Sinai Medical Center to correct a damaged aortic heart valve caused by rheumat ic fever that began at 14 years old. His family alleges the open-heart surgery was botched and caused him to suffer a fatal stroke on Feb. 25, 2017.

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: My male guinea pig, Dale, was always healthy. He was fat and not losing weight. One day, we cleaned his cage and noticed that he was sticking his head out repeatedly and opening his mouth — like yawning. The vet said to come in right away, and within five minutes of hanging up, Dale was dead. The vet looked at him and said he looked healthy and that maybe he had a heart attack or stroke, but I didn’t see any symptoms. Any help would be great, because we have two others. — Julie G., via e-mail

I’ll refer to the late Peter Gurney’s brilliant Guinea Pig Health Guide. One suggestion, which you may be able to apply to your surviving guinea pigs, is to have the vet listen to their heartbeat. A heart murmur can indi cate valve problems. Another possibil ity is an undetected fungal or bacterial infection that got into Dale’s system, eventually causing a heart attack. But as you pointed out, he showed no external signs of illness.
SCORPIO (October 23 to Novem ber 21) A more positive picture of what lies ahead is beginning to take shape. But there are still too many gaps that need to be filled in before you make definitive plans.
