Daniel J. Flyntz

January 15, 1975- September 14, 2020 Daniel J. Flyntz, 45, passed away after a tireless fight with cancer on Monday, September 14, 2020. Dan was the loving and devoted husband of Paulette (Estelle) Flyntz of Lebanon, CT. On January 15, 1975 in Warwick, RI Daniel was born the son of James F. and Ann Marie (Dawson) Flyntz.

Dan began attending college for two years, joined the Marines for four years and later went on to graduate from the University of Rhode Island in mechanical engineering. He worked for Electric Boat, Pratt & Whitney Aerospace and most recently at R & D Dynamics in Bloomfield, CT. He was a devout Catholic, who always put his faith and family first, for they gave him all the provisions he needed in life. He pushed the limits in everything he did, never backing down. He thrived on the adrenaline rush that life gave him but always looked to God for answers. If Dan took a stand on something, good chance you weren’t going to change his mind. He was a loyal brother, charming uncle and a faithful husband. He was all heart and would do anything for you. He would take any opportunity to go for a joy ride on his motorcycle.

In his 45 years, Dan became an amazing person, husband, son, brother, uncle, cousin and was always a Marine. His love will live on in his: wife Paulette, parents: James and Ann Marie; stepdaughter Jamie Lynn Fitzner (Nicolas); granddaughter Carley Rose; eight siblings: Rosemarie A. Carlson (Jeff) of Coventry, RI, James F. Flyntz (Pamela) of North Smithfield, RI, Mary Ellen Rossi (Mike) of Exeter, RI, Cathy P. Schwartz (Eric) of Sterling, CT, Timothy J. Flyntz (Christine) of West Warwick, RI, Theresa M. Kuprevich (John) of West Greenwich, RI, Christine M. Corey (Mike) of Plainfield, CT and Patricia A. Croft (Andrew) of West Orange, NJ. He is also survived by many loving aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews.

There were several people through this difficult time that really showed compassion to Dan and his family. A special thank you is in order for his boss at R & D Dynamics for helping Dan through his treatment, Dr. Julia Vitali and her staff Amy and Jessica who were always on hand and Dr. Dinesh Kapur for never giving up on Daniel, or his opinion on chemotherapy treatments.

He will be greatly missed by friends and family.

SAY YOU SAW IT IN THE REMINDER

William Hodge William Hodge, 84, of Coventry, RI went home to Jesus on Thursday, September 10, 2020 at Kent Hospital in Warwick, RI. He was the beloved husband of Janice (Difazio) Sheehan Hodge of Coventry, RI. He was born in Providence, RI to the late Reverend Wesley and Florence (Wyeth) Hodge, Sr. He was a RIPTA bus driver for several years and a Union member of Local ATU 618. Bill loved his German Shepherd dogs, tending to his beautiful gardens, his church family and most of all his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Bill was in a bowling league for 50 years at Kingstown Bowl in North Kingstown where he cultivated several friendships. It wasn’t until later in life that he found his love not only for Janice, but her Italian heritage, family and food, especially pasta.

His love will live in his wife Janice, stepchildren: Michael Sheehan, Deborah Martinelli and Brian Sheehan; eight grandchildren and one great-grandchild. He is also survived by several loving nieces and nephews. He is predeceased by his two brothers Richard Hodge and Wesley Hodge, Jr. Bill’s gentle and calm spirit will always be remembered by those who knew him.

Bill’s Memorial Service will take place at Cranston Christian Fellowship Church, 1114 Scituate Avenue, Cranston, RI on Saturday, October 24 at 10:00 a.m.

In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to St. Jude Children’s Hospital, 501 St. Jude Place, Memphis, TN 38105 or online at www.stjude.org. Remembrances may be shared at carpenterjenks.com.

Houses are shrinking, selling faster and getting smarter upgrades according to industry statistics. early 2000s have not quite returned, things look positive. In the United States, 1,226,000 new homes were built in 2016, according to data from Consumer Reports. That was the most since 2007.

Resales also have been more promising. The National Association of Realtors® says the median number of days a home was on the market in April 2017 reached a new low of 29 days. However, low supply levels did stanch existing home sales somewhat. By mid-2017, the market was a seller’s market, with more people in the market for homes than properties available. But sales during that time were still outpacing sales figures from a year prior. In fact, in May 2017, home sales in Canada increased to their highest level in more than five years, according to the Canadian MLS® Systems.

Low interest rates on mortgages and more confidence in the economy has driven many people to make improvements to their existing homes. As is typical, the things homeowners are looking for in 2017 have evolved from years past. The following are some trends that are helping to steer the real estate market further.

• Smaller homes: Home sizes in the United States steadily increased for decades, eventually leading to an average of 2,453 square feet in 2014, according to U.S. Census figures. However, Realtor.com reported in 2015 that new construction homes have already

a slight trend toward more modest homes as people consider affordability and maintenance on larger properties. The National Association of Home Builders states buyers are now looking for smaller, more livable homes with flexible floor plans, energy-efficient appliances and plenty of storage space.

• Matte finishes: Stainless steel and luster have been popular for years. However, the next big thing is matte finishes on faucets, appliances and even in countertops. These less flashy finishes are prized for their warmth and elegance. While some high-end models with matte finishes have been available for several years, even less expensive models are now available.

• Smarter technology: Many homeowners are embracing smart technology throughout their homes, but it’s not just lights that turn on with voice command or more efficient thermostats. Innovative technology includes toilets that can autonomously stay clean and sanitized, refrigerators equipped with cameras so homeowners can see the contents inside and indoor food recyclers that can turn food waste into fertilizer.

Staying abreast of the ever-changing trends in home improvement and real estate can help consumers make the best choices with regard to buying and building their homes.

by Jennifer Coates Regular customer Ed strolls into the new “digs� of Fantastic Sam’s Cut & Color and begins his usual banter back and forth with stylist Cyndy who will soon be cutting his hair. He quickly realizes that, though the salon is unisex and serves both men and women, he is outnumbered by women, eight to one. He relishes the attention and takes full advantage of this rare captive audience. He is simply delightful and adds an infusion of life to the busy salon, which seems to be only seating women at the hour of his arrival.

Ed is just one of literally hundreds of customers who flock to this installation of Fantastic Sam’s for a good clean haircut or color. He is welcomed like family here because this is a salon of “regulars� who have specific stylists who they return to, time after time. With strictly-enforced COVID guidelines, appointments are now required where once walk-ins were the “norm�, but there is hardly ever a time when a stylist isn’t ready for any last-minute requests.

Customers can make an appointment with one of the nine stylists at the salon, or take their chances on whoever is available. Either way, they can expect a quality cut or color every time.

Though it may sound trite, Fantastic Sam’s Cut & Color on Tiogue Avenue in Coventry can truly be summed up in one word, “fantastic�! Guests who venture into this fullservice salon are immediately drawn into a fantastically welcoming, sparkling-clean, sunny and modern space that is full of energy and activity. During the shutdown in the

Regular customer Ed is happy to find there is a styling chair waiting just for him when he arrives for an appointment with stylist Cyndy on a busy Wednesday afternoon.

How to maintain a car that’s rarely driven Driving habits changed significantly in 2020. The outbreak of the novel coronavirus COVID-19 forced many professionals to work from home full-time. In addition, stay-at-home measures greatly limited how much people could or would travel in their free time.

The result was a lot of cars spending a lot of time sitting idly in driveways.

Just because a car is not being driven very much does not mean its owner can forgo vehicle maintenance. Drivers can take these steps to ensure their vehicles stay in shape even as they’re primarily staying in the driveway.

• Adhere to recommended maintenance schedules. Auto manufacturers typically recommend maintenance schedules based on the number of miles a car is driven or the length of time since its most recent maintenance appointment.

“Whichever comes first” may be recommended for fluid changes and routine tuneups, and this rule of thumb should still be followed.

Even if a car has barely hit the road in recent months, its fluids, such as oil, are still aging and still need to be replaced.

• Turn the car on every so often.

Turning the car on, even if you only intend to let it sit idle in the driveway, keeps the vehicle components lubricated by allowing fluids to cycle their way through the engine. Turning the car on also ensures the battery stays fresh and doesn’t die, a lesson many drivers

• Disconnect the battery if necessary. Drivers who own two vehicles or families who have only been using the family car in recent months can disconnect the batteries from their unused vehicles to prevent corrosion. Corrosion decreases battery life and performance. If drivers notice a white, green or blue covering around the battery terminals, posts or cables, corrosion is likely the culprit and the battery will need to be replaced.

• Take the car for a spin. Of course, driving a vehicle every so often is a great way to keep it running strong. Multi-car families that tend to use the same car to shop for groceries or pick up takeout orders can periodically use their other car to run such errands.

Cars are sitting idly in driveways more than ever before. Vehicle maintenance must remain a priority even for cars that rarely hit the open road.

Let’s Eat!

Healthy Eating for Seniors

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

Eating a variety of foods from all food groups can help supply the nutrients a person needs as they age. A healthy eating plan emphasizes fruit, vegetables, whole grains and low-fat or fat-free dairy; includes lean meat, poultry, fish, beans, eggs and nuts; and is low in saturated fats, trans fats, salt (sodium) and added sugars.

Eating right doesn’t have to be complicated. Start with these recommendations from the Dietary Guidelines for Americans:

Eat fruits and vegetables. They can be fresh, frozen or canned. Eat more dark green vegetables such as leafy greens or broccoli, and orange vegetables such as carrots and sweet potatoes.

Vary protein choices with more fish, beans and peas.

Eat at least three ounces of whole-grain cereals, breads, crackers, rice or pasta every day. Choose whole grains whenever possible.

Have three servings of low-fat or fat-free dairy (milk, yogurt or cheese) that are fortified with vitamin D to help keep your bones healthy.

Make the fats you eat polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats. Switch from solid fats to oils when preparing food.

Include Physical Activity to your Daily Routine. Balancing physical activity and a healthful diet is the best recipe for health and fitness. Set a goal to be physically active at least 30 minutes every day — this even can be broken into three 10-minute sessions throughout the day.

For someone who is currently inactive, it’s a good idea to start with a few minutes of activity, such as walking, and gradually increase this time as they become stronger. And always check with a health-care provider before beginning a new physical activity program.

Take-Out Tips When you need a night off from cooking and dine-in restaurants aren’t an option, meal delivery services or takeout can be a convenient alternative. Making healthful choices from an online menu can be a challenge — especially since nutrition facts are not always posted to online menus.

Here are a few tips to keep in mind to help you decipher the meal delivery or take-out menu: Terms to be mindful of include “crunchy,� “crispy,� “battered� and “breaded,� as well as “creamy,� “cheesy� and “Alfredo,� which often can mean they’re higher in fat or calories.

Limit items that are fried or served in sauces that are high in saturated fat. Items that may be more healthful options might use terms like “baked,� “grilled,� “roasted,� and “steamed,� as well we “al fresco� or “marinara.�

Consider steamed vegetables or fruit as a side option, when available.

Rethink your drink. Calories from sugar-sweetened beverages can add up quickly and provide little nutritional value.

Coming Soon!

BRAND NEW

Memory Support Neighborhood

(content courtesy eatright.org)

Choose options like water, low-fat or fat-free milk or drinks such as unsweetened coffee or tea.

Sauces and dressings usually come on the side when ordered to-go but ask for sauces and dressing on the side to be sure and help control how much actually goes on your food.

Instead of eating out of the containers, plate your food for a more appropriate portion size when servings are large. You also can save part of your meal for later.

As always, wash your hands before serving or eating.

Food Safety Concerns during the COVID-19 Pandemic According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the U.S. Department of Agriculture, there is currently no evidence to suggest that COVID-19 can be transmitted through food or food packaging. It is believed that the virus spreads from person-to-person through close contact or respiratory droplets, for instance when a person coughs or sneezes. However, it may be possible for viruses to survive on surfaces and

objects, reinforcing the need to observe proper hygiene and food safety practices.

When ordering takeout or having food delivered practice social distancing, maintaining a distance of six feet, whenever possible. Proper food safety practices should always be implemented while preparing foods. This includes frequently washing hands with soap and water and washing surfaces and utensils with hot soapy water after each use.

Regular handwashing, along with routine cleaning and disinfecting, especially all frequently touched surfaces, remain the most effective ways to reduce the spread of COVID-19.

Get more tips on accepting deliveries and takeout orders from the CDC. Even though you aren’t cooking together, try to still eat together as a family. Use the unexpected time at home as an opportunity to reconnect as a family and make family meals a regular routine. Involve your kids in setting the table and let them put takeout or delivery food on plates so they can feel like a part of the process. (content courtesy eatright.org)

Senior Friendly Fall Comfort Foods

Enjoy Seasonal Favorites with Fall Comfort Foods

W

FAMILY FEATURES

hile this autumn season will likely look different than years past, wholesome meals celebrating fall flavors provide something to look forward to. Eating foods like walnuts, colorful fruits and vegetables, and whole grains can be a solution for improving overall well-being in an enjoyable, delicious way.

Along with fall favorites like root vegetables, Brussels sprouts, apples and cranberries, kitchen staples like walnuts also have their own prime season. Walnuts harvested during autumn from the fertile soils of California supply more than 99% of walnuts in the U.S. and more than half of the world’s walnut trade.

Each harvest produces enough walnuts for you to enjoy the tasty and nutrient rich benefits year-round. Pro tip: Storing them in the fridge or freezer maintains freshness longer.

Seven Simple Senior Sandwiches

I love to eat.

But I was never destined to be a chef.

My wife and I enjoy different foods, and are on different diet restrictions, which is why we love to dine out.

Lunches, however, have always been our personal responsibilities.

At a time when we are eating our lunches at home, we have tried to be a bit more innovative when our limited resources, while seeking for variety.

We have come up with seven simple single senior sandwiches, one for every day of the week, all easy to prepare, and perfect for these difficult times.

bread. Add two slices of cheese and four slices of pepperoni. Add Grey Poupon mustard. Cook in frying pan or griddle until bread is toasted golden brown. Note: You can also add onions, tomato, bologna, pickles, or relish.

2.

Egg Salad- Boil two large eggs. Allow to cool. Mash with fork, and add a few sunflower seeds, chopped celery, chopped green pepper, and a pinch of salt, pepper and dill. For variety and color, you can add chopped carrot. Mix with mayonnaise. (I prefer Hellman’s.) Lettuce and tomato optional.

3.

Tuna salad-One can of tuna (preferably in water, not oil). Break up with fork. Add chopped onion and sweet pickle relish. For variety, add chopped red, yellow or green pepper.

Mix with mayonnaise. Again, lettuce and tomato optional.

4.

Minute Steak-Put a little olive oil in a skillet. Cut up about a half green pepper and onion. Slice a few mushrooms. When they start to brown, add the shaved (minute) steak. You may wish to add a slice of cheese. You can substitute hamburger for the steak.

5.

Chicken salad- Cube white or dark meat cooked chicken (Maybe leftover from dinner).

Add a pinch of curry powder or paste, mayonnaise, and if you like, mix in a dab of brown mustard. Add diced onion and pepper. Garnish with lettuce and tomato. (Works with turkey, and even pork, the “other white meat”).

6.

Hot Dog-There is only one way to cook a hot dog. Split it down the middle and fry it. Toast the roll, and add chopped onion, relish, and our choice of mustard and/or ketchup (or both). Once you eat a split hot dog, you won’t want it any other way.

7.

Peanut butter & Banana-

The perfect combination. And it’s a lot healthier than PB and fluff. Jelly is fine, also Our other favorite sandwich is the standard BLT, which we usually save for an evening meal. If you don’t want to open a pound package of uncooked bacon, you can buy pre-cooked bacon.

Less than a minute in the microwave will give you a nice crispy piece.

All of these meals are easy to prepare, healthy, and inexpensive.

Rethink Ingredients to Refresh Family Meals This Fall

I

FAMILY FEATURES

f you’re looking to spice up your mealtime routines, especially during those busy school nights, you may find your solution in versatile ingredients that work for a multitude of dishes.

For example, you can turn to plantains as a replacement for often-used recipe staples like potatoes. Plantains are a fruit grown around the world that cooks and eats more like a vegetable.

Members of the banana family, they’re starchier and lower in sugar, meaning they’re still green when ripe.

While you’re most likely to find them baked, roasted or fried as a savory side dish at Latin, African or Caribbean restaurants, they’re growing in popularity in North America as stars of their own recipes or as nutritious, exotic swaps for starches. For example, these dishes from Dole for Plantain Crusted Salmon Fillets and Slow Cooker Sweet Potato, Plantain and Lentil Caribbean Curry offer quick ways to enjoy plantains while saving time in the kitchen.

As an additional benefit, plantains can be used at every stage of ripeness. They can be boiled like a potato when green; prepared in sauces and soups, air-fried or roasted as snacks when yellow; or baked in desserts and sweet recipes when black or spotted.

Find more ways to enjoy plantains and other fresh fruits and vegetables in family recipes at dole.com.

Slow Cooker Sweet Potato, Plantain and Lentil Caribbean Curry Prep time: 20 minutes Servings: 6 1 tablespoon, plus 2 teaspoons, grapeseed oil, divided 1 large DOLEÂŽ White Onion, chopped 4 cloves garlic, minced 2 teaspoons curry powder 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper 1/2 teaspoon grated fresh ginger 1 can (15 ounces) reduced sodium chickpeas, drained and rinsed 2 large Dole Sweet Potatoes, chopped (about 4 cups) 2 medium Dole Plantains, chopped (about 3 cups)

YOUR TAXES

PROFESSIONAL PERSPECTIVE

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

Tax extension date is fast approaching File and pay electronically, request direct deposit for refunds The Internal Revenue Service reminds taxpayers who filed an extension that the Oct. 15 due date to file 2019 tax returns is approaching. Taxpayers should complete their tax returns and file on or before the Oct. 15 deadline.

Convenient electronic filing options, including IRS Free File, are still available. Taxpayers and tax professionals should continue to use electronic options to support social distancing and speed the processing of tax returns, refunds and payments.

Although Oct. 15 is the last day for most people to file, some taxpayers may have more time. They include: • Members of the military and others serving in a combat zone. They typically have 180

days after they leave the combat zone to file returns and pay any taxes due. • Taxpayers in federally declared disaster areas who already had valid extensions. For details, see the disaster relief page on IRS.gov.

Taxpayers who did not request an extension and have yet to file a 2019 tax return can generally avoid additional penalties and interest by filing the return as soon as possible and paying any taxes owed.

Choose direct deposit for refunds The safest and fastest way for taxpayers to get their refund is to have it electronically deposited into their bank or other financial account. Taxpayers can use direct deposit to deposit their refund into one, two or even three accounts. Direct deposit is much faster than waiting for a paper check to ar-

rive in the mail.

After filing, use the Where’s My Refund? tool on IRS.gov or download the IRS2Go mobile app to track the status of a refund.

Economic Impact Payments-Non-Filers can still get one; must act by Oct. 15 Though most Americans − more than 160 million in all − have already received their Economic Impact Payments, the IRS reminds anyone with little or no income who is not required to file a tax return that they may be eligible to receive an Economic Impact Payment.

Available in both English and Spanish, the Non-Filers tool on IRS.gov is designed for people with incomes typically below $24,400 for married couples, and $12,200 for singles. This includes couples and individuals who are experiencing homelessness. People must

SAY YOU SAW IT IN THE REMINDER

SENIOR ISSUES

RETIREMENT SPARKS

by LARRY GRIMALDI

by ELAINE M. DECKER

Riding 50-Year Reunion Memory Wave In the original version of the movie Point Break (1991), surfer, adrenalin junkie and ringleader of the Dead Presidents bank heist crew, Bohdi (Patrick Swayze) drifts into a trance describing the thrill of riding the ultimate wave at Bells Beach in Australia; the one perfect wave that rises from an ocean roiled by the mystical 50-Year Storm.

In the fall of 2019, the URI Alumni Association sent a post card reminding me that June 2020 would mark the 50th anniversary of my graduation. And while the “Save the Date” alert didn’t inspire my own Bohdi-like soliloquy, the notice did trigger a crescendo of memory waves.

Before recounting the some of the social, economic, and cultural transformations of the last 50 years, “running the numbers,” as the economists and financial gurus are fond of saying, reveals some eye-popping statistics.

For example, the median annual household income in 1970 was $9,870; in 2019 it was calculated at $75,500. Lest you conclude that this substantial increase translated into a huge step forward for average wage earners, consider this fact. The minimum wage in 1970 was $1.60 an hour. Today it’s $7.25. But the devil is in the details. For every dollar increase in the minimum wage, costs have risen $1.36, adjusted for inflation. Other stats add context to this discouraging backwards trend.

In 1970, the median purchase price for a house was $22,70; the cost exploded to $320,700 in 2019. My wife Kathy and I didn’t realize what a bargain we made when we purchased our first home in 1970 for $11,500.

The first payment on a $9,000, 20-year mortgage was $104 per month, with taxes and insurance included!

A new car costs $1,542 on average in 1970.

In 2019, the price tag revved up to $36,718.

(I won’t attempt to calculate the total expenditures we have made in 19 new or used cars in 50 years). The median cost of tuition at a public college was $1,207 in 1970. In 2019, that same tuition skyrocketed to $10,400.

Avoiding the risk of having you fall victim to multiple sticker shocks, I won’t hammer you with cost comparisons for every-day expenses such as food, clothing, gas, taxes, repairs, or insurance. You can look this information up and amaze yourself, if you so desire. But be warned. Entertainment or family vacations do not appear in the budget because they may be “optional” after meeting the aforementioned financial obligations!

Turning from the financial pages, here are a few of what I consider to be the most significant historical moments in the last 50 years.

Feel free to create your own list.

Two United States presidents, Bill Clinton and Donald Trump (who was surprisingly elected in 2016) have been impeached. Nixon resigned in 1974 in the wake of the Watergate

scandal. In 1973, the Supreme Court affirmed a women’s freedom of reproductive choice in the 1973 Roe vs. Wade decision. In 1979, Iran seized 444 hostages at the American Embassy. That act of terrorism is regarded as the catalyst for the election of Ronald Reagan as president in 1980, ushering in an era of political conservatism. The Supreme Court also determined that George W. Bush won the 2000 presidential election over Al Gore. In 2008, Barack Obama became the nation’s first Black President.

The Berlin Wall came down in 1989. In 1991, America went to war with Iraq over that country’s occupation of Kuwait. On September 11, 2001, more than 3,000 people lost their lives in terrorist attacks in New York City and Washington, D.C. Only selfless acts of heroism by the passengers on United Airlines Flight 93 prevented more deaths and destruction. Unfortunately, this bleak moment in American history lead to the ill-advised second Iraqi war in 2003.

Technology roared ahead at a dizzying pace.

The Internet went live in 1983 and Amazon popped up on our computer screens in 1994.

Google was launched in 1998 and Facebook made its social media debut in 2004. These new platforms, ensconced in the mysterious “cloud,” irrevocably altered the way Americans get their news and information, buy and sell consumer goods, and communicate with each other.

In 1971, the Affirmative Action was allowed to become law and the Americans With Disabilities Act was passed in 1990. And while we have seen some progress in 50 years, the struggle for racial, economic, and social justice still continues.

Since graduating from URI in 1970, my life has taken many twists and turns. I married Kathy in 1970 and on November, 7 we will celebrate our 50th anniversary. We have endured the inevitable peaks and valleys of a five-decade marriage. We have raised three children and rejoiced in the birth of twin granddaughters and two grandsons. Kathy and I both enjoyed rewarding and productive careers that have given us the opportunity to travel, and share our time and talents in retirement.

We don’t dwell on the past, nor do we spend too much time anticipating the future. We are given only today, with all of its joys, opportunities, challenges, triumphs and disappointments. In the word of words of John Wanamaker, Philadelphia merchant and founder of one of America’s first department stores, “You can never ride a wave that came in and went out yesterday.”

Horror Vacui Explained I was forced to jettison a lot of things when we downsized, but visitors to our condo who never saw our house in Providence would find that hard to believe. I wasn’t terribly successful at parting with my treasures. I recently became enamored of a phrase that explains a lot about my collecting habits: “horror vacui”.

It came onto my radar through an article in the NY Times about the auction of the belongings of the late decorator/collector, Mario Buatta, aka the Prince of Chintz. Buatta, who was unknown to me until the article, was described as a maximalist. He must have been a man after my own heart.

I believe that a blank space on the wall is crying out to have something hung on it. My husband, on the other hand, is a minimalist. We’re a classic example of opposites attracting.

I was thrilled to learn that my affliction has a name. One of Buatta’s colleagues said of him that he “had a horror vacui of a plain surface.” The term is generally applied to visual art, especially on walls, but it can refer to a wide range of décor, such as tables and shelves. Simply put, horror vacui leads to the filling of the entire surface of a space or an artwork with detail. It’s also known as kenophobia, the fear of empty spaces, rooms or voids, and is the opposite of claustrophobia.

There is no shame in acknowledging that you have a horror vacui. Even Aristotle believed that nature abhors a vacuum. I feel so much better now that I know I’m not simply an incorrigible hoarder. I always believed there was a psychological basis for my collecting (a term I prefer to hoarding).

For many years, I was an obsessive collector. I always felt that one of something was lonely and needed a friend, so I’d seek out a second. Once I made the pair, I was sunk. Because whenever I came across another related item, I was compelled to bring it home to introduce it to the others. I saw my behavior as “compassionate anthropomorphizing”—a description I just made up.

You can see how this got out of hand. By my sixties I had managed to curtail the incoming additions, but I had a problem breaking up the families that already lived with me. So my double whammy in downsizing was that I was not just discarding things I loved, I was breaking up families. I was parting with my children.

When I was evaluating two wrought iron floor lamps, trying to decide which stayed and which went, I imagined the one I planned to discard saying, “Why me? Why not him? Why am I not as lovable? Look how interesting MY shade is! Just put a stronger bulb in me, for heaven’s sake!”

As I’m writing this, it occurs to me that compassionate anthropomorphizing sounds like more of an affliction than horror vacui. Look at me as a cautionary tale. If you suffer from horror vacui, step into the light. Acknowledge your problem before you have to downsize. Find someone who is a minimalist to help you sort through your treasures. Otherwise, you’ll wind up like me, just a few glasses of wine away from an outright hoarding disorder. And with a cellar full of cartons that made the move with you and haven’t been opened in six years.

Most restaurant reviewers, me included, concentrate on recently opened restaurants. The problem with that is we neglect to honor those establishments, most of them family owned, that have been a part of the fabric of Rhode Island from the time our parents first took us there. While I enjoy trying new places to dine, especially the small ethnic ones and the eclectic spots opened by Johnson and Wales graduates, my greatest pleasure comes from returning to the “oldies but goodies.�

TWIN OAKS Twin Oaks leads the list.

The former Cranston speakeasy was my first dine out experience when I moved to Rhode Island in 1965.

My first meal was a quahoag pie with a salad with Roquefort for a buck.

My daughter celebrated her 12th birthday there and was told she could have anything on the menu she wanted.

She ordered toasted cheese.

The waiters brought her a cupcake with a sparkler and sang Happy Birthday off key.

The Fire Department outlawed sparklers, but the waiters still sing off key.

People often repeat Yogi’s quote: “No one goes there anymore; it’s too crowded.�

Go there on a Friday or Saturday night and you will wait, but we seniors are smarter than that. We go during the week and eat dinner early. My favorite spot is on the “porch�, looking out at the ducks and geese on Spectacle Pond.

Frank, the maitre de, corrected me when I asked to be seated there. “They haven’t called it the porch for years.

It’s the Founders Room.

You can still get a quahoag pie. It’s more than a buck.

You can also get prime rib and lobster, or enjoy Rhode Island’s best hamburger and Italian dishes. Last week I had the best Reuben I have ever eaten. And, of course, there is the baked stuffed shrimp with mashed potatoes in the middle.

Rather you are a regular or a newcomer, the experienced waiters will quickly get to know you and treat you royally. And if Gene is your waiter, no matter what you order, he’ll say “Good Choice�. And he’s always right.

GOVERNOR FRANCIS INN I’ve heard the popular Warwick restaurant referred to as the Warwick Senior Center, and as I look around I see many people my age.

There’s a reason for that: They serve a large variety of home-cooked dishes at reasonable prices, with a choice of large or smaller portions.

I always get the large portion and home take enough for the next day.

Service is swift and friendly.

Moments after you order, fresh bread and butter appear on your table.

Most meals include soup or salad. The salads are very good, but I go there for the soups‌ usually a choice of four. My favorites are the corn chowder and the seafood chowder.

When I came home from a hospital stay and nothing appealed to me, Joyce ran over to Gov. Francis for the best chicken soup in Rhode Island.

The menu is huge, but I always go for the daily specials, including meatloaf, mashed potatoes, gravy, and carrots and turnips. (Under $10).

WRIGHT’S FARM Our family has made the trip to the popular Burrillville family restaurant every May for over

20 years to celebrate the birthdays of our two granddaughters.

There are very few places where you can fit a dozen or so people at one table and feed them all without having to take out a loan. Reservations can be made for ten or more people.

We are one of dozens of three-generation families enjoying this great Rhode Island tradition.

The family-style, all-youcan-eat meal eliminates the task of deciding on a dozen different meal choices, and once you are seated, there’s no waiting for the meal to arrive.

Rolls and butter and salad are immediately brought to the table, followed by bowls of macaroni and sauce, hot, tasty French fries, and delicious chicken.

My son holds the record for most pieces of chicken eaten, while Uncle Bob, when he can make it from Connecticut, gives him a good challenge. We gather in the large waiting area after the meal to exchange birthday cards and stories, and make plans for the following year.

LOCAL CHAINS Rhode Island is blessed with two popular local chain restaurants, Gregg’s and Chelo’s, that are visited frequently by senior citizens.

My son-in-law (Yes, he’s a senior citizen) enjoys the turkey dinner at Gregg’s at least once a week, while a friend wouldn’t think of missing his fish and chips every Friday at Chelo’s.

Thanksgiving and Christmas used to be the time when mothers and grandmothers baked pumpkin pies and chocolate cakes.

Now it’s sons and grandsons making their trip to Greggs for Death by Chocolate.

Carved Stone Bust A Rago auction catalog called a large carved bust made of black stone a “Haida Argillite carving� and then explained the meaning of the word “argillite.� Antiques can be made by people, companies or methods with unfamiliar names, but this time the auction house realized that bidders needed help. Argillite is a fine-grained black silt stone found in only one spot, the Slatechuck Creek on Haida Gwaii, also called the Queen Charlotte Islands, in the Pacific Ocean off the northwest coast of British Columbia, Canada. The Haida, a North American native culture, were the original people living on the islands.

They have been making carvings of wood and argillite since about 1800.

Pipes used with tobacco have been found that were made from 1810 to 1840. The location of the quarry is a secret and only the Haida are permitted to use the stone. Today, Haida carvers make and sell carved argillite jewelry and decorations — “tourist art� made to be sold to visitors. Both the Haida and European cultures are depicted. Many pieces are amusing.

The bust of a man, made about 1840s to 1850s, sold for $18,750. A carving of one piece as large as a bust is unusual and valuable because the stone breaks easily. Twentieth-century interest in the antique arts of native peoples has led to higher prices. *** Do McDonald’s restaurant giveaway toys have any resale value? My children have been saving them in the unopened packages for more than 15 years. Is there a way to tell the age?

Very few McDonald’s Happy Meal toys are worth a lot of money. Most full sets (eight or more toys) given away in the past five years are worth under $50 at a retail source. That means a single toy is worth less than $5, and they usually are just $1 or $2, if you are lucky. The 1987 set of 12 Mr. Potato Head toys retails at $75. It is said that a set of eight Furby toys from 2000 sold for $900, but that may be a myth. Other old sets (be sure it is the original set, many have been repeated) including

AT T E N T I O N DEADLINE FOR CLASSIFIED ADS is back to the original time of 12PM on Mondays.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Careful, Lamb. Taking on too many tasks at one time can cause you to create more snarls each time you try to work your way through the tangled mass. Best to handle one job at a time.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Making bold moves is what Bovines do. But the best moves are made with lots of data to provide backup just in case you charge into an unexpected complication. A new relationship shows promise.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Sharing credit for a job well done is easy for you to do, but not necessarily for your partner. But fair is fair. Don’t let yourself be denied the right to have your contributions recognized.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Communication is important to help bridge a gap that can lead to problems at home and/or at the workplace. Find a way to get your points across before the breach becomes a chasm.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) Relationships, whether business or personal, need to be watched carefully for signs of trouble. Any negative indications should be dealt with before they become too burdensome.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Congratulations. A more positive aspect highlights much of the Virgo’s week. You should find others more receptive to your suggestions, and also more likely to act on them.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) All work and little play could wear the Libra’s usually positive attitude down. Take some much-needed time off. Perhaps a short jaunt with someone special is the way to go.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) This is a good time to expand your view from the known to the unfamiliar. Confronting new situations could be challenging, but ultimately also could be extremely satisfying.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Giving advice to those who just want validation for what they’re doing can be unsettling. So back off and save your counsel for those who really appreciate it.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Cultivating a more positive attitude not only makes you feel better about yourself, but also has an upbeat effect on those around you, especially that certain someone.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Keeping the lines of communication open and accessible is the key to establishing the right foundation on which to build an important and meaningful relationship. Stay with it.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Before agreeing to act on a request, consider using your perceptive Piscean talents to see what might lie hidden beneath its surface and could possibly cause problems later on.

BORN THIS WEEK: You’re a friend who, if you err at all, does so on the side of concern for those you care about.
