No-Bake Cheesecake Is Lemony Delight

ham crackers 2 tablespoons sugar Big pinch kosher salt 11 tablespoons (1 3/8 sticks) unsalted butter, melted For filling: 2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, room temperature 1 (14-ounce) can (1 1/4 cups) sweetened condensed milk Juice and zest of one large lemon (about 1/4 cup juice) 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1. Place graham crackers in a large zip-top plastic bag and crush them with a skillet or rolling pin until they're the texture of coarse sand.

2. Into a medium bowl, stir together the crumbs, sugar and salt. Melt butter and add to the crumbs, stirring until well-combined.

Summer may be coming to an end, but in much of the country the weather is still warm enough to appreciate the refreshing zing of citrus and the ease of a no-bake dessert. So, before we move on to pumpkin spice everything, let's enjoy the sweet, tart flavor of lemon cheesecake once more.

This technique has been around forever so I can't take credit for creating this recipe.

I first recall seeing it made by Martha Stewart, so I'll credit her for the inspiration, made more frugal by yours truly.

Lemon cheesecake is the perfect finale to so many meals. Even though it's assertively sweetened, it's not cloyingly sweet because of the tart www.JasonCoblentz.com lemon. But make no mistake, Fresh lemon cheesecake garnished with lemthis cheesecake is sweet, rich on slices, lemon thyme and edible flowers and indulgent. I recommend small slices and letting people 3. Into a 9-inch springform pan, come back for more.

To make this economical, store- spread the crumb mixture. Press the brand graham crackers, cream cheese crumb mixture 1 1/2 to 2 inches up and sweetened condensed milk are the side. Use the bottom of a measuring cup (or something similar) to perfectly fine for this recipe. flatten the crust and really press it into the sides. Chill crust in freezer NO-BAKE FRESH while you make the filling, or at least LEMON CHEESECAKE 10 minutes.

Total: 3 hours Active: 25 minutes 4. In a large bowl, using an electric Yield: 8-12 servings hand mixer, beat the cream cheese until For crust: aerated and smooth. Continue beating 2 packages (18 full sheets) gra- the cream cheese as you gradually add

the sweetened condensed milk, scraping the sides of the bowl, as necessary.

Add the lemon juice, lemon zest and vanilla, mixing until combined. Resist the urge to eat this right now.

5. Retrieve your semi-frozen crust and carefully add the filling, ensuring there are no air pockets. Smooth the top with the back of a spoon. Cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until firm, about 2 1/2 hours.

6. To serve, unclasp sides of pan and remove cheesecake. Slice into 8 to 12 slices. Serve while cold for best presentation.

Although already beautiful in its pale-yellow simplicity, for the photo I garnished the cheesecake with paperthin lemon slices, lemon thyme leaves and edible viola flowers.

This recipe is divine exactly as written, using fresh lemon juice and zest and a homemade graham cracker crust. But when lemons are out of season, shriveled and two bucks apiece, here is a shortcut that reduces both cost and time: Feel free to use 1/4 cup bottled reconstituted lemon juice and a purchased graham cracker crust. Depending on the size of your crust, you may have a little leftover filling. Should you be faced with such a terrible dilemma, you can use the filling as a dip for sliced fruit, to make layered parfaits with fruit or to fill croissants or other pastries. Or just eat it with a spoon.

Now, when life gives you lemons, you know what to do. *** Lifestyle expert Patti Diamond is the penny-pinching, party-planning, recipe developer and content creator of the website "Divas On A Dime — Where Frugal, Meets Fabulous!"

Attorney David B. Hathaway Former Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Trustee

September 13, 2021

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Decisions involving your finances might seem to be foolproof. But they could have underlying risks you should know about. Don’t act on anything until all the facts are in.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Keep that keen Bovine mind focused on your financial situation as it begins to undergo some changes. Consider your money moves carefully. Avoid impulsive investments.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You’ll need to adjust some of your financial plans now that things are changing more quickly than you expected. All the facts you need haven’t yet emerged, so move cautiously.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Personal and professional relationships dominate this period. Try to keep things uncomplicated to avoid misunderstandings that can cause problems down the line.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) That elusive goal you’d been hoping to claim is still just out of reach. But something else has come along that could prove just as desirable, if only you would take the time to check it out.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) This is a good time to get away for some much-needed rest and relaxation. You’ll return refreshed and ready to take on the workplace challenge that awaits you.

How remote workers can separate work life from family life Working remotely from home or another location has become the norm for many professionals. The ability to set one’s own hours and avoid lengthy commutes can be quite a boon to productivity. Business owners also may find they can reduce overhead costs by not keeping a static office location.

Those who work exclusively from home may find it challenging to separate their work from family life and vice versa. While there is bound to be some overlap, the following strategies can help remote workers deftly manage their responsibilities to their employers and their families.

Establish a clear-cut workspace Working at the dining room table or in the bedroom may seem convenient, but these places are full of distractions, whether workers realize that or not. Plus they may cause the mind to wander, as they’re usually associated with other tasks, like eating or lounging. Creating a specific work-only area is a great way to stay on target and maintain focus.

Build in break times Treat working at home as you would working in an office. Schedule breaks to get up and run

errands, eat lunch away from your desk, take a breather to soak up some sunlight, or engage in a brief conversation with a friend.

Turn a blind eye to distractions Is the laundry piling up? Does the dog need a walk? What about that grocery list? Home life distractions and needs can slowly creep into your work realm if you let them. If you’re meant to be putting in hours, resist the urge to do household chores. Instead, wait for break times to handle such tasks. Remember, if you wouldn’t be doing it in an office setting, you shouldn’t be doing it while working remotely.

Maintain a consistent schedule Working from home affords workers the chance to make a doctor’s appointment or pick up a sick child sick from school. But it’s easier to get into work mode and then disengage from work mode if you have a relatively consistent schedule. A schedule also makes it easier for coworkers and clients to know when they can get in touch with you — and when it’s family time.

Finding the balance between work and home life when your home is your place of employment can be tricky. But practice makes perfect.

Must-have features in your bathroom remodel Veteran homeowners recognize the value of remodeling their kitchens and bathrooms. 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 resource 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 return as much as 68 percent of homeowners’ investments. As homeowners plan their bathroom renovations, it’s a good time to consider improvements that will improve function and add design appeal for years to come.

• 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 cabinets, as long as the vanity doesn’t extend to the floor.

• Freestanding traditional sink or tub: There’s something elegant about a freestanding tub or pedestal sink. Such features can lend a classic vibe to a space. However, freestanding fixtures also come in modern or eclectic forms, so there are options for any design style.

• Frameless showers: Switch to a walk-in shower option, which improves aesthetics 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.

• 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 vibe.

• Dual sinks and vanities: With a double vanity, two people can share the space and easily use the bathroom without getting in each other’s way. One vanity with two sinks works, but homeowners can create even more personal space by dividing vanities and mirrors.

• Small textured tile on shower floors: Small textures are appealing and add safety. The added texture and grouting will keep feet from slipping on wet floors. Also, opt for mold-resistant grout to make cleanup even easier.

• Special shower heads: Invest in shower heads that can run the gamut from creating steam showers to rainfall effects. Some showers will have multiple shower jets to offer an invigorating experience.

• Improve drainage: Increase the diameter of the drain pipe in the bath-

room from the standard to a two-inch drain pipe. This will reduce the risk of clogs and overflow leaks.

• Install a window: Natural light and air flow can reduce the risk for mold and mildew growth, and windows add some aesthetic appeal to a space. Just be sure to choose frosted privacy glass.

Additional considerations for a bath remodel include heated floors, wellplaced and attractive storage options and a toilet enclosure (water closet) for added privacy. These and other bathroom renovation ideas can add value and improve the appeal of the room.

2. Which Neil Diamond song is often heard at sporting events?

3. Who originally released “I’ll Be There”?

4. Which duo had a hit with “I Can’t Go for That”?

5. Name the song that contains this lyric: “Like a sweet magnolia tree, my love blossomed tenderly, my life grew sweeter through the years.”

Answers 1. Sugarloaf. They’d formed with members from The Moonrakers, which had originally been called The Classics. The switch to the name Sugarloaf came about after the record company legal department feared that the name Chocolate Hair could have racist overtones.

2. “Sweet Caroline.” The U.S. (especially at Fenway Park), Canada (Ontario Hockey League), Australian football (Sydney Swans) and the Northern Ireland national football team have all used the song as their anthem or for singalongs.

3. The Jackson 5, in 1970. The song was their fourth No. 1 hit in a row.

4. Daryl Hall and John Oates, in 1981.

5. “I Was Made to Love Her,” by Stevie Wonder, in 1967. The song, like several other Wonder hits (including “Signed, Sealed, Delivered I’m Yours”), was co-written by his mother, Lula Mae Hardaway. © 2021 King Features Syndicate

Original Egg Chair

A:

A:

This Egg chair was designed in 1968 and is still very popular. It is 54 inches high and has a diameter of 33 inches.

The chair was made with a round aluminum base and velvet upholstery on a white fiberglass frame. It was made to swivel. Some of the chairs were made with stereo speakers built into the backs. Hundreds of other chairs seemed inspired by Ovalia.

There are womb chairs, rocking egg chairs, fried egg chairs, wicker egg chairs, swing egg chairs and more, all with the rounded egg shape. There are also hundreds of copies selling at low prices. The original Egg chair, sold by New Orleans Action Galleries, brought a bid of $1,000, the estimated price, in a recent auction. *** I’d like to know if my McCoy Aunt Jemima cookie jar is real

Q:

*** CURRENT PRICES Mt. Washington salt & pepper shakers, enamel flowers, yellow ground, squat fig shape, 2 3/4 inches, $95.

Electric lamp, torchiere, faux bamboo pole, spread base, flared brass shade, Russel Wright, 65 inches, $150.

Poster, music concert, Simon & Garfunkel, Jan. 22, Lincoln Center, black stylized letters figures, blue & green shadows, 1967, 40 x 26 inches, $207.

Doll, Effanbee, Honey, hard plastic, blond hair with bangs, sleep eyes, peach taffeta party dress, black shoes with bows, 1951, 18 inches, $374. *** TIP: Paper must “breathe.” Don’t glue it to a backing. It expands and contracts, and eventually it will tear.

King Features Weekly Service

At least five famous midcentury modern designers made chairs that looked like large hard-boiled eggs with a cutout for seating space: Arne Jacobsen (1902-1971), Milo Baughman (1923-2003), Peter Ghyczy (1940-) and Charles Eames (19071978) are four of them. But the fifth and most famous was the Ovalia egg chair made in 1968 by Danish designer Henrik Thor-Larsen (1932-).

or a reproduction. She has a red bandana on her head and is wearing a white dress with a red towel hanging from her waist. The colors are faded.

I think the jar is bisque. Did McCoy ever make a bisque cookie jar?

McCoy made “Mammy” or “Aunt Jemima” cookie jars like yours from 1944 to 1957. Some were plain white, and some had trim in other colors. Thousands of cookie jars like yours were made, and they also have been reproduced. The original jars were painted after firing and colors are usually faded or have flaked off. Colors on reproduction jars were glazed and then fired, so they remain bright. Value is about $150 if original. *** We have a very heavy Jacobean style dining-room set we’d like to sell. It was a wedding gift to my parents in 1932. Is there a market for this?

The heavy, “antique” furniture that was in fashion years ago isn’t popular today. The cost to ship the set to an out-of-town auction would be high, so try to sell it locally at a house sale or resale shop.

FULL SERVICE JUNK REMOVAL RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL NOW OFFERING: Appliance and furniture removal, rubbish, yard debris removal & House/Business clean outs

by Jennifer Coates For many longtime New Englanders, the transition from summer to autumn is met with a welcome sigh of relief.

Gone are the humid days of August as the cooler days of fall are ushered in. Soon, the air is permeated with the familiar aromas of the new season ~ smoke from fires crackling in fireplaces, that earthy smell of leaves carpeting the forest floor, and that fresh air that catches your breath a little!

For Randy Bodick, a born and raised Rhode Islander, fall means all these things, and so much more. It means it is time to gas up his lawn mowers, fuel up his leaf blowers, and pull out his thatching rakes ~ there in no rest for the weary in his line of work! Randy is the founder and owner of Fresh Perspective Landscaping, a full-service landscaping building based out of Coventry.

Randy and his crew at Fresh Perspective Landscaping are professional, hard-working, reliable, thorough, and trustworthy. Randy, who incorporated the business in 2019, has been cutting lawns and tending to customers’ properties since he was a young teen. He has worked diligently and steadily to build a base of loyal customers and to earn a reputation as someone who will do what is asked of him, and more. To say he takes pride in these relationships and the work that he does would be an understatement of sizeable proportions.

Fresh Perspective Landscaping offers a broad range of services, including: • Fall Cleanups (leave no leaf behind!)

• Thatching, Aerating and Fertilizing your lawn so it looks its best come spring • Leaf blowing and leaf/acorn/debris removal • Clearing brush and debris

10 gifts for automotive enthusiasts The 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.

Have a Safe Fall during Falls Prevention Week!

Falls Prevention Awareness Week – September 20-24

The National Council on Aging (NCOA), the national voice for every person’s right to age well, is encouraging every older adult to complete a Falls Free CheckUp to quickly and easily assess their risk of falling and take steps to reduce that risk.

“Annual checkups are an important way to stay healthy as we age—and that includes checking your risk of falling every year,” said Ramsey Alwin, NCOA President & CEO. “Our Falls Free CheckUp makes it easy. Just answer 12 questions, and you will get a personalized report identifying your potential risk—plus easy steps you can take right away to address it. The checkup is also available in Spanish as the Chequeo Contra Caídas.”

According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, one-fourth of Americans aged 65+ falls each year. Falls result in more than 3 million injuries treated in emergency departments annually, including over 850,000 hospitalizations and more than 29,000 deaths.

“Despite these statistics, falling is not a normal part of

aging, and they can be prevented,” said Kathleen Cameron, Senior Director of NCOA’s Center for Healthy Aging.

“We believe it is a team effort to empower all older adults to reduce their risk.”

This year, NCOA is partnering with the National Fire Protection Association to highlight the critical role its members play in falls prevention. When an older adult falls at home and needs help getting up, EMS and fire departments are often the first to arrive at the scene. Among people aged 65+, falls are the leading cause of emergency department visits and account for 17% of all 911 calls.

Along with the U.S. Administration for Community Living, NCOA sponsored a webinar series on the fire and falls connection this September. NCOA also created a comprehensive toolkit to help local organizations spread the word about falls prevention in their communities, as well as articles and videos in both English and Spanish for older adults and their caregivers.

ABOUT NCOA The National Council on Aging (NCOA) is the national voice for every person’s right to age well. We believe that how we age should not be determined by gender, color, sexuality, income, or zip code. Working with thousands of national and local partners, we provide resources, tools, best practices, and advocacy to ensure every person can age with health and financial security. Founded in 1950, we are the oldest national organization focused on older adults. Learn more at www. ncoa.org and @NCOAging.

MEMOIRS

GET READY TO DATE

by SUSAN DEAN

b y D E B R A L’ H E U R E U X

Heart Connections Growing up on the other side of the bay, on the mainland, I didn’t know much about Newport as it was a place we visited only occasionally. Taking the ferry and later crossing the bridges, we’d bring visiting friends to experience the Cliff Walk or the mansions. Little did I know back in those long-ago days how Newport, years later, would come to hold a special place in my life and in my heart.

I met my husband, David, when he was the Executive Director of the Edward King House Senior Center.

When we decided to marry, Dave suggested that we use the King House for both the wedding and the reception.

The King House is a beautiful and stately Italian-style villa built in the 1840s and was home to generations of the King family. The King House had enough gilded age charm to qualify as a “mansion wedding” in my eyes.

As we were planning, there was much excitement and talk amongst the members of the King House. Dave reported that the ladies who came for morning coffee, lunch, and classes asked him daily for updates on our plans, and gave him many ideas and suggestions for how to best utilize the King House and offered to help with decorating so that it would look suitable for a summer wedding.

Dave and I decided that we wanted to include the members of the King House in our celebration, but knew that we couldn’t invite them to the actual wedding due to our large guest list of family and friends. So Dave came up with an idea. He suggested that we hold the rehearsal, followed by refreshments, in the afternoon on the day before the wedding and invite the Edward King House members to attend.

This was not only well-received, but caused such a bustling stir of activity and excitement in the weeks leading up to the wedding, that Dave could barely get through his work days without someone asking for his opinion.

How should the tables be set up, and where would we like the flowers placed, and did he think I’d prefer white napkins or a soft pastel?

The highlight of the day, after rehearsing the ceremony, was to be the hosting of a High Tea. Dave was informed by the King House ladies that this was a very rare event, held only on the most special of occasions.

Dave reported to me that the bustling about in the days and weeks leading up to the rehearsal afternoon was unprecedented. The Good Silver - the ornate antique tea service - had to be brought up from its basement storage, unboxed, and polished to perfection. This, he told me, took hours, with the ladies sitting together in the kitchen chatting and laughing and polishing and sharing memories of when it might have last been used.

This was followed by a general fluttering about, pulling tablecloths out of storage, checking for stains and wrinkles, someone volunteering to wash, while others would iron. The King House collection of dainty porcelain tea cups that had been donated by members through the years were removed from their display cases and carefully inspected. Flowers and candles and centerpieces were discussed and decisions were made.

The day of the rehearsal, the members of the King House were in attendance, smiling and beaming as if they were witnessing the actual wedding. One of the ladies played “Pachelbel’s Canon” on the baby grand piano as I made my way down the main staircase.

After the ceremony, there was more hustle and bustle as I was led into the dining room. According to the rules of a High Tea, I was to sit at the head of the table where the shiny silver tea service had been placed.

I felt a bit out-of-place as I noticed the line of guests forming and realized that I was expected to pour the tea, but I was quickly coached by the ladies. I was the Lady of the

Day, the Esteemed Hostess, they explained, and my teapouring duties were quite important on this momentous occasion.

So I poured the tea from the large silver tea pot into teeny tiny flowered tea cups. I almost felt like I needed to ask “one lump or two?” but suppressed that urge as the guests made their way down to the foot of the table, where my oldest daughter, Rachel, was seated. As my maid of honor, she was in charge of offering thin wedges of lemon, as well as sugar and cream. From head to foot, the large table was laden with sweets and treats - all delicately placed on glass and porcelain plates and trays.

The King House ladies had outdone themselves in making sure that it was a most beautiful and memorable day.

The actual wedding took place the next day on August 19, 2000 - a second marriage for both of us. Dave’s son, Brian, at 16, was his best man. My three daughters, Rachel, Joy, and Gretchen - 20, 17, and 14, were my maids. As we stood before the fireplace in the living room exchanging our vows, I wondered if any of the Edward King daughters had been married in that room on that spot more than a century ago.

The reception was fun and festive. Each room was designated as a separate station. Salad in the foyer, pasta in the kitchen, drinks in the library, and the main courses were set up in the dining room. Tables and chairs were scattered throughout the house and on the outdoor patios.

Flickering candlelight glowed from every room, giving the house a soft ambiance fitting for an evening wedding.

It was a magical night of light and love shared with family and friends.

Through the years following our wedding, I attended many events held at the King House. One of the members told me about the Newport Restoration Foundation and invited me to join her for a tour of Rough Point, Doris Duke’s summer home, which had recently opened as a museum.

I fell in love with the house and decided to apply for a part-time job as a tour guide. In 2002, I was hired as a seasonal employee. Working as a tour guide was the perfect summer job for me, providing a refreshing breather from my full-time job as a school speech pathologist.

I retired from my school job in 2017, and Rough Point is now my retirement job. A job I still love.

It’s not just the beauty of the house and grounds overlooking the Cliff Walk. And it’s not just being surrounded by centuries-old artifacts and artwork by the masters.

And it also isn’t just the honor of sharing Doris’ legacy along with stories of the house and its collections with visitors from around the world. It’s the life-long friends I’ve met there - a family of sorts - from coworkers who started with me nearly 20 years ago, to those who joined us later on, and to those dear ones who have passed away.

It has always felt like a family and I will always cherish those lasting friendships forged at Rough Point.

Most, if not all, of the Edward King House ladies who welcomed me to Newport 21 years ago are gone now.

But their caring and delight in taking me under their collective wings resonates with me still and makes me smile.

And my Rough Point friends make me smile, too.

Newport holds a special place in my heart - a place where I found love and friendship. A place where heart connections began 21 years ago and continue to fill my life with warmth, love, and light.

Finding Love Again Thinking about finding love in your life again?

Take the step to move forward and reinvent yourself.

After a divorce or death of a spouse, you just have to take a deep breath, have the courage to start a new life, and be open to all the new possibilities that love can bring.

I love to emphasize ‘The Five Truths of Dating’ 1. You deserve to love and be loved.

2. You have to be ready and available for commitment.

3. Honor your deepest needs 4. Be true to yourself 5. True love requires risk It is never too late to dream a new dream, and have the courage to love again.

RETIREMENT SPARKS

by ELAINE M. DECKER

A Port In the Storm

For those who may not know, the backstory of this essay is that I’ve been in treatment for lung cancer for seven months. I’m having chemo and immunotherapy infusions every three weeks, continuing until February 2023. My cancer team had been encouraging me to have a port installed in my chest to make the infusions easier on everyone. Two months ago, I finally arranged to get “a port in the storm”.

Because I’m immunocompromised, I’ve been staying close to home during the COVID pandemic. I’ve entertained myself by doing a lot of jigsaw puzzles.

My husband found two online that border on being perverse. Many of the pieces are the size of my pinky fingernail. Most are odd-shaped and don’t lock into one another. I had to use Scotch tape to hold them in place as I worked. When the cat one was finished, I posted a photo on Facebook. A friend observed: “I hope you had a lot of tape in the house!” Her comment gave me an idea.

If I can have a port for my infusions, why not implant some other useful things in my chest? The first would of course be a Scotch tape dispenser. Then I’d have all the tape I need for any crazy jigsaw puzzles my husband buys me. And just think how helpful it would be when I wrap holiday gifts. Even when I sit on the floor to do this, I’m forever wondering where the scissors and tape have gone under the sheets of paper. Of course, it would be dangerous to implant scissors, but tape would be great.

What I’d really like to have handy right here in my chest is dental floss. I have a lot of caps on my teeth and food is forever getting caught on their rough edges. I floss several times a day. A dispenser that goes with me from room to room would be a godsend.

I’m also a big lip balm user, but I’m not sure having one of those sticks implanted would be practical. How would my mouth reach it? On the other hand, a simple pump to dispense hand lotion would be useful and could work out okay.

Another item I’m often searching for around the house, especially when the slacks I have on are without pockets, is tissues. Imagine having your own tissue dispenser there in your chest! They’d be right where you

need them when you feel a sneeze coming on. A similar implant could hold cotton balls. I don’t use nail polish anymore, but I’m sure any woman who does would be happy to have those little puffs pop right out of her chest when she was freshening up her manicure.

One of the symptoms that led to my lung cancer diagnosis was a debilitating cough. I kept lozenges on my bedside table so that I didn’t have to get up in the middle of the night to search for some. My cough cleared up once I started treatment, but before that, a chest dispenser would have come in handy. If you like this idea and the tissue one, best to get your pop-up port before flu season is upon us.

Most of these ideas involve personal care products.

There’s a whole other category to consider—food items. One of my friends never goes out to eat without putting a pepper mill in her purse. Ditto for a dispenser for sea salt, which is supposedly far superior to refined table salt. If she had those on her—literally (in a pair of ports)—her purse would be lighter and she’d never be without her personal S&P. There’s a grocery aisle full of condiments to consider, too. But if you imagine ketchup spurting out of a chest port… Well, that’s just plain gruesome. Even soy sauce paints a less than appetizing picture. Mustard and horseradish would probably be more visually acceptable. They’re healthier than ketchup, which is also something in their favor.

As you can see, a person wouldn’t need to be under treatment for cancer to find a chest port useful. These ideas should offer good investment opportunities for those celebrities on Shark Tank. Mark Cuban and Lori Grenier—if you’re reading this, feel free to contact me to “do the deal.”

SENIOR ISSUES

by LARRY GRIMALDI

A Retrospective: Remembering Down City Ghostly Haunts Manipulating computerprogrammed key cutting machines in mammoth box stores exceeds my technical capability. When I need spare keys, I drive to a neighborhood hardware store on Wickenden Street in Providence. Wandering the narrow aisles of this throwback emporium evokes an era when the local small business models relied on person-to-person service.

Keys in hand, I step outside and glance across the Point Street Bridge. Nostalgia washes over me.

My South Providence tenement houses on Crary Street, and later Hospital Street, in the Jewelry District, bordered Downtown.

Prior to the onset of Great Suburban Migration in the 1950s, residents of faraway colonies such as Warwick, Coventry, Woonsocket, Westerly, and the East Bay and South County territories referred to Downtown Providence as “Down City.”

Step back in time and walk “Down City” streets with me. Along the way, we’ll rouse a few Ghosts of Providence Landmarks Past.

Listen closely. You can hear the air-swoosh of United Transit Company (the precursor of the Rhode Island Public Transit Authority) bus doors push open to deliver Saturday pilgrims for Down City adventures.

Department stores, movie theaters showing the latest Hollywood films, tea rooms, restaurants, and old school soda fountains awaited.

We’ll begin our stroll on the corner of Richmond and Weybosset Streets and stop in front of the Providence Performing Art Center (PPAC) box office. In my day, PPAC was home to the Lowe’s theater. Time has erased most memories of big screen movies I saw at the Lowe’s, except for the epic sage, The Vikings.

One block from the Lowe’s,

on grounds now occupied by the Johnson and Wales University campus, was the Outlet Department Store.

The Outlet same also housed the original WJAR broadcast studios. My favorite memory of the Outlet is the soda fountain that dominated the front entrance. The ice cream sodas were fabulous!

Crossing Weybosset to the corner of Mathewson and Westminster Streets, I look right and recall images of the Tilden and Thurber Jewelry store and the Fanny Farmer’s candy store. At Fanny’s Farmer’s, I acquired a taste for almond butter crunch candy that lingers on my taste buds to this day. Walking down Westminster Street (originally a street, converted to a pedestrian mall, and then reborn as a street again) brings you to sites of the former Shepard’s, Gladdings, and Peerless Department stores. The Shepard’s clock stands as a sole sentinel to the byway’s distant past.

Strolling back up the street, you can see Grace Episcopal Church, opened in 1845. Grace Church has the aura of an old-style Elizabethan place of worship. Next to Grace Church is the site of the former RKO Albee theatre. I saw my first live jazz performance, featuring Sarah Vaughn and Buddy Rich, at the Albee. The original Harris Fur Company store was up the block, at the corner of Westminster and Empire Streets.

Walking up Empire Street, you can climb the front steps of the Cathedral of Sts. Peter and Paul, my home parish and seat of the Catholic Diocese of Providence. As a youngster, I spent many Sunday mornings in this massive gothic church as an altar server and or as a member of the choir, directed by the world-renown conductor and ecclesiastical music composer C. Alexander Peloquin.

Circling back down Empire Street, we arrive at the Washington Street intersection. The Providence Public Library reference room was my research center as a Classical High School student for reports and term papers.

Across the street, the Trinity Square Repertory Theater occupies the former Majestic Theater. The former City Hall Hardware Store was located diagonally across from the movie house.

Walking down Washington Street towards Providence City Hall, we will make a stop at the old Strand Theater. (Don’t forget to came for a late-night or early morning snack at the legendary Haven Brothers Diner, parked aside City Hall). In a “you CAN go home again” moment, the Strand housed the offices of the state Department of Elderly Affairs (DEA) when I began working there in 1986. Another “you CAN go home again” moment occurred when DEA offices were later moved to the corner of Richmond and Pine Streets.

Walk to the corner of Dorrance and Washington Streets and look up at the Graduate Hotel, the latest reincarnation of the legendary Biltmore Hotel. I attended a more than a few proms, weddings, and meetings in the Biltmore ballroom over the years. The Graduate borders Kennedy Plaza, the home of Burnside Park and the central transfer point for RIPTA buses. The Old Industrial National Bank Building, the “Superman” Building,” watches over the Plaza. If you look across Burnside Park, you will see the old Union Station, Before the relocation of the Providence and Woonasquatucket Rivers and the creation of Water Fire Park, the train station was the embarkation point for distant and exotic cities like Boston and New York.

As a URI student, I boarded

the train many times for the short trip back to Kingston.

The old Bonanza Bus Terminal was situated at the site of the Rhode Island Convention Center.

I suspect you’re tired of walking by now. So I suggest hopping a RIPTA bus and returning to those notso-distant-any longer Rhody colonies and territories. The Ghosts of Providence Landmarks Past thank you for visiting. Come back anytime for a generous helping of Down City nostalgia.

ACCORDING TO DON

by DON FOWLER

I have spent a lot of time, and money, at the dentist.

My parents couldn’t afford braces, and dental hygiene was never at the top of my list. After having lived all those years with chipped and crooked teeth, I took my dentist’s suggestion and hah my four front teeth crowned.

“Doc, I’m 84 years old!” I said.

“You’re never too old,” he replied.

So I did it.

And I’m glad I did. My teeth look great.

And I feel good about it.

My hearing has declined over the years.

It’s Never Too Late Even with the help of five year old hearing aids, I still have problems at the movies and the theatre. Small groups and dining out are frustrating, especially with background noise.

So when my Audiologist suggested new ones (“They have come a long way in five years”) and Blue Cross provided some assistance, I went for it.

Add new glasses, and three of the five

B USI N ESS PROFESSIONALS

SERVICE DIRECTORY and

senses were given a boost.

The golf and tennis games are pleasures of the recent past due to weak legs and balance problems, but walking with a cane to help my balance keeps me from becoming a couch potato.

It is never too late to get in that pool at the Cranston YMCA and swim those laps for 45 minutes a couple of times a week. It takes me a little longer than it used to, but

I’m in no hurry.

If it is never too late to assist your aging body, then it certainly never too late to work on the mind. I watch the TV ads with the miracle drugs that supposedly improve your memory, but figure that I have enough pills to swallow in my pill case.

So I turn to crossword puzzles, Jumble, a book always by my chair, and of course, Jeopardy.

It is never too late to gain new knowledge, take up a new hobby, meet new friends, or discover new places.

I love hosting pizza nights. But, I don’t always call my favorite pizzeria. I love to whip up some - and unusual - pies in my own kitchen.

Making homemade pizza does not need to be hard. Some pizza stores will sell you their dough or, these days, you can pick up pre-made pizza pie crusts in your local grocery store. Making your pie is only limited to your creativity! Seafood, meat, cheese, veggies, BBQ, sauces ... it’s up to you.

And, you do not need any special equipment other than your oven. Although a pizza stone and pizza peel are really nice tools and fun to use!

Here are a few recipes to spark your pizza night menu.

“Some really awesome recipes are total accidents - like this one,” is how Janice Joy Miller describes coming up with her Spicy Spinach Pizza. I love a happy accidental recipe. The addition of Kasseri cheese was interesting and definitely not traditional. It added great flavor to this pie.

“My family is a traditional pizza kind of family, but one of my brothers mentioned trying this combination and I rose to the challenge,” says Brandi Kirkpatrick of her Chicken Alfredo Pizza. I love a good food challenge. The creaminess of an Alfredo recipe, combined with the heartiness of the chicken is great. This recipe could be served as a dinner or cut into smaller pieces for a cocktail party app. So versatile - and filling!

Megan Conner’s Italian Stallion Pizza is one hefty, hearty pizza. “This is a different approach to the traditional pizza,” says Megan. Everyone loved this when I’ve made this - men, women and children alike. I like to add a smidge more sauce and cheese than what the recipe says because I love cheese - and you can never have enough in my mind. “[This] is a variation of pizza, but no crust,” says Janna Hogan of her Meatza Pie recipe. No crust? Hmmm. I was surprised at how much I liked this recipe. It’s SUCH an easy and tasty recipe. Janna’s recipe is a wonderful foundation. Add additional toppings that you enjoy!

Janell Smith’s Fruit Pizza is a fun dessert twist to pizza. “[It’s] always a huge hit,” says Janell.

This pizza is light and refreshing. Try adding a bit of lemon juice to the cream cheese mixture for an added punch of flavor.

Ok...I know Christine Reardon’s Fun Pizza Dip isn’t actually a pizza, but it would be great to munch on while waiting on the pizzas! If the recipe has fun in the name, it has to be good ... right? “It is the perfect appetizer for a small gathering,” says Christine. This dip is very easy to throw together. You can serve it with crackers ad Christine suggests, but I’d also try breadsticks, rye crisps or even tortilla chips.

Making pizza is a great way to get family and friends involved in making dinner. And use these recipes as a starting point. Create some pies using your favorite ingredients. The options are endless!

Traveling Post-Pandemic Will Be the Same and Different After months and months of not traveling to visit family and friends and to see destinations that have been on a wish list for years, more people have been booking flights, cruises and hitting the open highway. However, Covid variants continue to cause an increase in case numbers which is complicating things. Some countries have put expiration dates on vaccinations requiring people to have booster shots before they can visit and enjoy the perks of being considered fully vaccinated. States are red flagging each other, requiring people from certain regions to isolate upon arrival.

And certain venues will only allow people who are fully vaccinated to attend events from concerts to sports games.

While a lot of the details of traveling are the same, some things have also changed for good, and more preparation and planning is now required to plan a successful trip. Particularly for anyone who has health conditions that make them vulnerable to any illness, let alone Covid. While making travel reservations and packing bags, be sure to keep these tips in mind: Have a Healthcare Plan – Just because you’ve been vaccinated does not mean you are 100% protected against Covid. Recently, two people on a cruise who were vaccinated underwent a routine Covid screening and tested positive.

While they were asymptomatic, they still had to quarantine. If you’re traveling a long way from home or even overseas and have to quarantine due to a positive Covid test or get sick, you’ll want to have a plan in place about where

and how you’ll be able to receive medical care and where you’ll be able to stay.

Overpack Medicine, Vital Supplies – It seems like a different product or industry is still facing shortages every day. While you don’t walk into a grocery store and see bare shelves anymore, that does not mean that you will not have trouble getting certain supplies while you’re traveling. Planning ahead and bringing extra medication and other items that you need to maintain your health on a daily basis is a necessary precaution as shipping delays and sourcing continue to be a challenge.

Keep Friends + Family Informed – Everyone has a cell phone, but you never know if you might get caught in a situation where you have no signal or the battery dies. It is best to provide friends and family with your travel itinerary before you leave home. And then if you have to make any changes update them along the way. A check in every few hours with an updated location is a good idea when driving so that if anything does go wrong, people know a general area of where to look for you.

Rely on Technology – Portable power is a must for the

road or air travel to ensure your phone is always powered.

And, keep any mobile personal emergency response devices like the Mobile Defender Model S, or SOS button, you may have in an accessible garment pocket. This way if you have an emergency and cannot dial your phone it is within easy reach to call for help. Consider downloading helpful weather, route guidance, gas station finders and other relevant travel apps to your phone. These can give you alerts about bad weather, where to find gas, traffic delays and other local news alerts.

There is always a lot to get done when planning and packing for a trip. Now the planning may take extra steps and require extra gear, but after months of staying at home the investment in a well-planned trip may be well worth it.

Ultra-Easy Italian Vegetable Relish Zucchini is one of those vegetables that gets far too little respect. I think it might be because its vines are so prolific. No matter how good something is, when it’s overabundant, it somehow is taken for granted. Try this ultra-easy relish, and others just might ask you, “Where in the world did you come up with this great recipe?”

1½ cups finely chopped unpeeled zucchini 1 cup shredded carrots 1/4 cup finely chopped green and/or red bell pepper 1/4 cup finely chopped onion 1/2 cup fat-free Italian dressing In a medium bowl, combine zucchini, carrots, pepper and onion. Add Italian dressing. Mix gently to combine. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Gently stir again just before serving. Makes 6 (1/2 cup) servings.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Confidence grows as you work your way through some knotty situations. Watch out for distractions from well-meaning supporters that could slow things down.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Consider spending more time contemplating the possibilities of an offer before opting to accept or reject it. But once you make a decision, act on it.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) You’re in a very strong position this week to tie up loose ends in as many areas as possible. Someone close to you has advice you might want to heed.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Congratulations. This is the week you’ve been waiting for: After a period of sudden stops and fitful starts, your plans can now move ahead with no significant disruptions.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) You’re in an exceptionally strong position this week to make decisions on many still-unresolved matters, especially those involving close personal relationships.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) The new moon starts this week off with some positive movement in several areas. A special person becomes a partner in at least one of the major plans you’ll be working on.

BORN THIS WEEK: You work hard and get things done. You also inspire others to do their best. You would do well heading up a major corporation.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Decisions involving your finances might seem to be foolproof. But they could have underlying risks you should know about. Don’t act on anything until all the facts are in.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Keep that keen Bovine mind focused on your financial situation as it begins to undergo some changes. Consider your money moves carefully. Avoid impulsive investments.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You’ll need to adjust some of your financial plans now that things are changing more quickly than you expected. All the facts you need haven’t yet emerged, so move cautiously.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Personal and professional relationships dominate this period. Try to keep things uncomplicated to avoid misunderstandings that can cause problems down the line.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) That elusive goal you’d been hoping to claim is still just out of reach. But something else has come along that could prove just as desirable, if only you would take the time to check it out.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) This is a good time to get away for some much-needed rest and relaxation. You’ll return refreshed and ready to take on the workplace challenge that awaits you.

"You can have your cake and eat zucchini, too," said 24-year-old Josh Plank when I wandered over to a landscaping project he was digging in in my neighbor's yard. I knew he had a garden of his own, so I eagerly asked what I should do with three humongous 18-inch-long zucchini that dominated my veggie garden while I was on vacation. Without skipping a beat, he said, "Bake a chocolate zucchini cake."

What? "Yep, a cake," he said. "It's the ultimate dessert my mom made when I was a kid. An Austrian neighbor gave it to her and said to pass it on.

And that's what she did. Now I make it and share it with friends."

He emailed me a simple list of ingredients. When asked for directions, he said stir the ingredients in order, one by one with a wooden spoon in a big bowl. No mixer, no fuss!

Stir together family fun with this kid-friendly recipe and serve with cold glasses of milk and colorful napkins and straws for a special after-school snack.

CHOCOLATE ZUCCHINI CAKE 1/2 1/2 1¾ 2 1 1/2

cup soft butter cup canola or vegetable oil cups granulated sugar eggs at room temperature teaspoon pure vanilla extract cup sour milk (stir together 1/2 cup milk and 1/2 table spoon white vinegar. Let it sit 15 minutes.)

2½ 4 1 1/2 1/2 1/2 2 1/2

cups all-purpose flour heaping tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder teaspoon baking soda teaspoon ground cloves teaspoon cinnamon teaspoon salt cups grated zucchini (if using an extra-large, firm zucchini, remove seeds) cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Topping:

1/2 cup chopped nuts 1/2 cup chocolate chips 1. Grease and flour a 9- by-13-inch pan. Preheat oven to 350 F after sour milk is prepared.

2. In a large bowl, stir together butter, oil and sugar for a few minutes, until light. Add the eggs one at a time until well-blended. Stir in vanilla and the sour milk.

3. Meanwhile, another child may measure and sift the flour, cocoa, baking soda, cloves, cinnamon and salt.

Add to the large bowl and stir gently until mixed. Add zucchini and chocolate chips, and stir until just combined.

4. An adult should spoon the batter in the pan, sprinkle with the topping and bake for 40-50 minutes, until a cake tester comes out clean. *** Find more family fun at www.donnaerickson.com. Write to Donna at Info@ donnaerickson.com

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.
