Last year Taxpayers lost two Fire Board seats by 15 votes. Don’t let that happen again

this year, or it will result in uncontrolled spending and the kind of gross mismanagement that resulted in the bankruptcy of 2012. The General Assembly passed an Overtime law in 2019 to specifically benefit firefighters – no other municipal employee or private sector union members were included in that new law. If the Taxpayers lose control of the seats up for election this year, the tax increases will be much more painful in the next years. The Board will give away the store to the employees and good governance of the last 8 years will be for nothing. Please support those candidates who will continue to speak for the Taxpayers and will continue good, sound governance for all of the inhabitants of the CCFD. As the outgoing President, and member of the Board for the past 8 years, I fully support and endorse: .

Carl Mattson

Carl Mattson has degrees in Accounting, Information Technology and Marketing and will bring Management and Budgeting experience to the table

Debra Santilli

Debra Santilli, a graduate of URI with degrees in Finance and Insurance, has been a Financial Analyst for Major Insurance companies for 20 years. She is also the Financial Consultant for her family’s business, The Rita Beaulieu Center in town.

They will continue to represent the Taxpayers and will make your safety their priority.

Both will work to manage ﬁnances efﬁciently, economically and within budget, keeping taxes affordable for taxpayers. Paid for by Fred Gralinski, Citizen and Outgoing President of the Board, and Richard Bergeron

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

A one-of-a-kind patient experience is the cornerstone of every phase of our innovative orthopedic care, including:

Orthopedic Care

Outpatient Surgery

Ortho RI Express – Acute Injury Care

Physical and Occupational Therapy

ORI Biologics

Robotic-assisted Surgery

Pediatric Orthopedics

Advanced Imaging

GADZOOKS! Your favorite business doesn’t advertise in

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.

THE REMINDER?

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

Prepare for power outages with a Generac home standby generator REQUEST A FREE QUOTE!

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

COVENTRY

With years of experience to provide you with prompt, courteous and professional service.

Most holy Apostle, St. Jude, faithful servant and friend of Jesus, the church honors and invokes you universally, as the patron of hopeless cases, of things almost despaired of. Pray for me, I am so helpless and alone. Make use, I implore you, of that particular privilege given to you, to bring visible and speedy help where help is almost despaired of. Come to my assistance in this great need that I may receive the consolation and help of heaven in all my necessities, tribulations, and sufferings, particularly (your request) and that I may praise God with you and all the elect forever. I promise, O blessed St. Jude, to be ever mindful of this great favor, to always honor you as my special and powerful patron, and to gratefully encourage devotion to you. Amen. R.R.

by Jennifer Coates Labor Day marks the unofficial end of summer for school age children, and sadly, for most adults as well. Gone are the carefree days of poolside fun, lazy afternoons and sunbaked barbeques. But for Alex Carlson, the owner of Ocean State Painting & Property Maintenance, summer is actually his busiest season ~ and he is gearing up for an even busier fall! No room for “lazy afternoons” for this in-demand small business owner. Though Alex’s business was incorporated two years ago, he has been working with his hands since he was a young boy. He began by helping his uncle with home renovations and those experiences instilled in Alex a passion for the work. After participating in his high school’s carpentry vocational program he went on to apprentice for a cabinet and painting contractor who gave him invaluable first-hand experience in the field. Today, his customers are wise to call him far in advance ~ news of his talents has taken off! Alex’s high standards of workmanship set him apart from many of his competitors. He has always had the highest of expectations for the outcome of his work. With a keen eye for imperfections and flaws, whether it is a seam or gap that needs to be caulked, or nails that need to be set, holes that need to be filled or peeling paint that needs to be scraped and sanded before being primed, he never settles for second best. His many satisfied customers can attest to his strong work ethic. As Alex tackles the paint jobs in your home, you can depend that he will do the job right ~ just as he always has. The most important work for Carlson begins with the prep work, the meticulous and detail-oriented work of preparing any surface for paint. If your house has shutters, they come

If your house has trim or moulding that needs to be repainted, he sets all nails, fills all holes, caulks all seams, and then sands them to ensure a glass-like finish with a quality semi-gloss. No detail is left undone. If you have a house painting job on your full “to-do” list this fall before the temperatures drop too low, now is the time to give Alex a call.

What do Hurricanes and Retirement have in Common? As I listened to the weather forecasters tracking the storm named Henri, I could not help but think about retirement planning and how similar it could be to preparing for a hurricane. With the improvements in science, the meteorologists can notify us literally weeks in advance that a serious storm is coming our way. Then, it is up to us to decide what to do to prepare for the storm. There seems to be two groups on opposite ends of the preparation scale; those that over prepare, board up their windows and leave town and those that will hunker down and ride out the storm regardless of the severity and multiple warnings. Of course, there are different groups in between the two extremes. Where would you be on this scale? Let’s compare the two extremes and compare them to retirement planning. How far in advance do we typically start hearing about a hurricane possibly forming and possibly coming our way? If I recall correctly, it was a couple of weeks when the meteorologists began tracking the initial stages of Henri. What steps did you take? Typically, we would look around the yard and pick up loose items and bring them to safety, gather up the seat cushions, bring in the umbrellas, etc. How is that like retirement planning? Well, our first instinct is to protect things. When it comes to retirement it is important to protect your retirement savings. Having too much risk in your portfolio is generally not recommended as you near your retirement date. Too often we meet with couples and individuals that have excessive risk in their portfolios even though they may be ready to retire in just a few months or within a couple years away from retirement. It is an accepted financial planning principle that risk should be reduced as you near retirement. The real question is how much risk is enough? It can be important to keep some assets invested in the stock market to help your assets grow for the future and to better offset inflation. However, it can be critical to protect a portion of your retirement nest egg, especially the amount needed to generate the income you will need to supplement your social security benefit amount.

Jeffrey H. Massey Certified Financial Planner™ Massey and Associates

When it comes to retirement, how much “notice” do we have? Decades! Let’s face it, we all think of retiring and enjoying the fruits of our labor at some point in the future. So, even though we know that retirement is coming, too many of us don’t take the simple steps to start preparing to retire, especially the part about protecting a portion of your hard-earned money. The obvious first step is to begin investing for your future. If you have a retirement plan where you work, you should start there. The earlier you start investing money, the better it will be decades down the road. The one thing no one can buy is more time. Time is the difference maker when it comes to investing and building wealth for your future. An important question would be: should you save in a pre-tax or an after-tax account? Which is right for you? There are some generalities that can be followed. If you are just starting out, or even if you are 20 years away from retirement, I would suggest that you save in after-tax accounts such as a Roth 401k or a Roth IRA. This means that you would pay income taxes on the amount you are contributing. Then, your money grows tax-deferred and would come out tax free in the future if you comply with the two basic rules. The two rules are, you must be over 59 ½ years of age and the money must have been in the Roth account for 5 tax years in order to withdraw the GROWTH from the account. The money contributed can be withdrawn without tax or penalty prior to age 59 ½ as you paid income tax on the contributed money. In my humble opinion, paying the taxes that are in place today will probably be the lowest income tax rates that we will see going forward. Under the current rules, the so-called “Trump tax plan” will sunset on December

31st of 2025. At that point, income taxes will be going up for all brackets except the first level of taxation which did not go down when all the other brackets did. So, we know that increase is already on the books. When you review the federal debt load and the likelihood of even more spending being approved, I think it is reasonable to assume that income taxes will increase in the future, beyond the increase that will happen as of January 1, 2026. Therefore, paying today’s income tax on the “seed” (your contributions) and taking out the “harvest” (your retirement income) tax free could be a big advantage. The question now is: which group are you in? Will you be the in the group that prepares for retirement or will you “hunker down” and try to survive as the storm passes? Just like preparing for a hurricane, the better prepared you are, the better off you will be. Planning makes much more sense. Work with a professional team that can first determine where you are now and where you want to go in the future as it pertains to your retirement planning. You deserve a great retirement!

How to monitor your money when relying on cashless spending METRO Cashless spending has long been a convenient way to make purchases, and that convenience became even more evident in 2020. The outbreak of the novel coronavirus COVID-19 in the winter of 2019-20 forced people across the globe to change how they live, and those changes even affected how items are paid for. According to the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention, touching or handling certain items, including cash, could expose people to the COVID-19 virus. That led many people to rely more heavily on cashless payments, including traditional options like credit or debit cards, but also relatively new cashless options, including apps such as Venmo. While these options can be very convenient, cashless payments can make it more difficult for people unaccustomed to mak-

ing purchases without cash to monitor their spending. The following are some tips to make it easier for consumers to monitor their spending when they’re not using cash. • Use an app to track spending. If you’re using an app like Venmo to make purchases, you can just as easily use an app to track that spending. Mint is a free app that automatically updates and categorizes how your money is spent. Users can see how they’re spending their money in real time, making it easy to know where they stand with their finances.

Did you know? With more free time on their hands, retirees may spend a portion of that time dining out at local eateries. While it’s commendable to want to support local businesses, eating out can quickly devour a budget if those on fixed incomes are not careful. Certain strategies can be used to help retirees save money while dining out. • Shop to-go meals at supermarkets or specialty food stores, which can be heated at home or enjoyed as a picnic at a scenic spot. • Dine out for breakfast or lunch when meals tend to be less expensive than they are during dinner hours. • Consider splitting meals or ordering appetizers instead of entrees. • Stick to one course rather than filling up on an appetizer, salad and then having too

much leftover food for the main course. This can help keep the bill lower. • Drink at home whenever possible. Enjoying a glass of wine, beer or cocktails at a restaurant will almost always cost you more than if you have drinks at home. Stick to the meal only, then enjoy a nightcap once you return home. It’s also a safe way to reduce the risk of drinking and driving. • Look for coupons or special discount days when seniors can enjoy a percentage off the tab. • Explore venues that offer tasting menus. These establishments provide small bites of various dishes and enable patrons to try out various foods before committing to one dish that may be costly. • Opt for inexpensive foods and save the high-end meals for special occasions. MM20C499

• Recognize the temptation associated with cashless spending. Studies have shown that cashless spending tempts people to spend more than buying with cash. A recent study from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology asked business students to bid on basketball tickets. Some participants were told they would eventually have to pay with cash, while others were told they would need to use a card. Those who paid by card spent more than twice as much as those who were told they had to pay with cash, which illustrates just how easy it is

to spend more on transactions that do not involve cash. By recognizing that temptation in advance, consumers can better prepare themselves to remain disciplined when using cashless payments like credit cards or mobile apps like Venmo. • Pay off your balance each month. If your preferred mode of cashless spending is credit cards, then make sure you pay off your balances each month. This not only saves you from potentially hefty interest charges, but the knowledge that you will need to pay off your purchases at the end of each month can help you stay more disciplined with your spending. Cashless payments have made it easier to purchase goods during the COVID-19 outbreak. But it’s imperative that consumers take steps to control their spending when going cashless. TF209319

Easy Melon Salsa Is Taste of Summer Hello! I’m so happy to meet you. I’m Patti Diamond, AKA Diva Patti, the recipe developer and content creator for “Divas On A Dime — Where Frugal Meets Fabulous.” I got the nickname Diva Patti in my former career as a musical theater professional. I was quite the soprano back in the day. I believe everyone should live like a diva, even if they’re living on a dime. My passion is finding inexpensive ways to make extraordinary things happen in the kitchen and in life. I love to help people save money on their food budget because I think we have better things to spend our money on, like paying off debt, saving for retirement or buying more shoes. If you agree, then we’re going to be great friends! Let’s get cookin’! Don’t you love it when something that costs as little as 20 cents per pound can be dressed up to take any occasion from everyday to elegant? Few things say “summer” like a big slice of cold, juicy melon. Watermelon, cantaloupe and honeydew melons exemplify the beautiful colors and sweet taste of summer. In season from June to September,

choose melons without soft spots, heavy for their size and slightly sweet-smelling at the stem end. Here are some wonderful ways to make the most of your melon: Infused Water — The simplest thing to do with melon is make infused water. Mint and melon are a lovely refreshing pairing. Just add chopped melon and a few sprigs of mint to a pitcher of water and let it chill for a few hours or overnight. In the summer months, it’s nice to have infused water in beautiful glasses to offer as soon as guests arrive. It’s a lovely way to say, “I’ve been expecting you.” Add a splash of club soda just before serving for a little fizz. Sweetly Savory Appetizer — Want an irresistible hors d’oeuvre? Serve any melon sliced and wrapped with

www.JasonCoblentz.com

Melon salsa and chips deli meat. Traditionally, you’d see cantaloupe with prosciutto, but that’s rather expensive. Thinly sliced deli ham or smoked turkey give that same sweet, smoky, savory combination at a fraction of the cost. Melon Salsa Fresca — If you like your sweet with a little heat, you’ll love this. In a mixing bowl, combine the zest and juice of 1 lime, 1/2 tablespoon

honey and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Add 3 cups mixed melon, diced; 3/4 cup cucumber, diced; 1/2 cup any color bell pepper, minced; 1/4 cup red onion, minced; 2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped; and one small jalapeno pepper, finely minced, with ribs and seeds removed. (Use caution when working with jalapenos.) Gently mix and chill. Serve with your favorite chips, over grilled chicken, in fish tacos or a grain bowl, or green salad, — just put it on everything! Summer Sangria — Add mixed melon to your favorite white wine. This is when to use boxed wine, or as I call it “Chateaux Cardboardaux.” Into a large pitcher, place 3 cups of vino, a healthy shot of brandy, 1 tablespoon sugar, a few sprigs of fresh basil and melon balls to your heart’s content. Serve over ice, mixed with sparkling water. Melon Vodka — Let’s upgrade some inexpensive vodka. Place chopped melon in a clean jar and top off with vodka. Pop that in the fridge at least three days, the longer the better. This makes an excellent martini with a twist of lime, or a Melon Mule, which is melon vodka with ginger ale and lime juice over ice. Don’t throw away that fruit! Remember, boozy fruit is the best fruit. As you plan your summer celebration, be sure to put melon on your shopping list. Versatile, inexpensive, frugal and fabulous ... now that’s using your melon. *** 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!” Visit Patti at www.divasonadime.com and join the conversation on Facebook at DivasOnADimeDotCom.

• On Sept. 13, 1990, the drama series “Law & Order” premieres on NBC. It will go on to become one of the longest-running prime-time dramas in TV history and spawn several popular spinoffs. • On Sept. 16, 1932, in his cell near Bombay, Mohandas Gandhi begins a hunger strike in protest of the British government’s decision to separate India’s electoral system by caste. Gandhi worked all his life to spread his own brand of passive resistance. • On Sept. 14, 1944, the U.S. 1st Marine Division lands on the tiny island of Peleliu in the Pacific as part of a larger operation to provide support for an invasion of the Philippines. The Marines suffered heavy losses, with 4,000 men killed in the first week alone. • On Sept. 15, 1978, boxer Muhammad Ali defeats Leon Spinks at the Louisiana Superdome in New Orleans to win the world heavyweight boxing title for the third time in his career. Ali left the sport permanently in 1981.• On Sept. 17, 1796, President George Washington prepares a final draft of his farewell address. Two days later, his words appeared in Claypoole’s American Daily Advertiser, officially notifying the American public that he would voluntarily step down as the nation’s first president. Rarely in the history of Western civilization has a national leader voluntarily relinquished his title. • On Sept. 18, 1987, cesium-137 is removed from an abandoned cancer-therapy machine in Brazil. Junk yard workers, fascinated by the glowing blue stone inside and unaware of its dangers, gave pieces to friends, relatives and neighbors. Hundreds of people were eventually poisoned by radiation, and 40 contaminated homes had to be demolished. • On Sept. 19, 1893, New Zealand becomes the world’s first country to grant national voting rights to women. The United States granted women the right to vote in 1920, and Great Britain followed in 1928. © 2021 Hearst Communications, Inc. All Rights Reserved

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) As tensions ease on the home front, you can once more focus on changes in the workplace. Early difficulties are soon worked out. Stability returns as adjustments are made. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) A new romance tests the unattached Bovine’s patience to the limit. But Venus still rules the Taurean heart, so expect to find yourself trying hard to make this relationship work. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) It’s a good time to consider home-related purchases. But shop around carefully for the best price — whether it’s a new house for the family or a new hose for the garden. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) A contentious family member seems intent on creating problems. Best advice: Avoid stepping in until you know more about the origins of this domestic disagreement. LEO (July 23 to August 22) A recent job-related move proves far more successful than you could have imagined. Look for continued beneficial fallout. Even your critics have something nice to say. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Ease up and stop driving yourself to finish that project on a deadline that is no longer realistic. Your superiors will be open to requests for an extension. Ask for it.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) You should soon be hearing some positive feedback on that recent business move. An old family problem recurs, but this time you’ll know how to handle it better. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Some surprising statements shed light on the problem that caused that once-warm relationship to cool off. Use this newly won knowledge to help turn things around. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Your spiritual side is especially strong at this time. Let it guide you into deeper contemplation of aspects about yourself that you’d like to understand better. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Your merrier aspect continues to dominate and to attract folks who rarely see this side of you. Some serious new romancing could develop out of all this cheeriness. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) You’re always concerned about the well-being of others. It’s time you put some of that concern into your own health situation, especially where it involves nutrition. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Just when you thought your life had finally stabilized, along comes another change that needs to be addressed. Someone you trust can help you deal with it successfully. BORN THIS WEEK: You have a sixth sense when it comes to finding people who need help long before they think of asking for it. And you’re right there to provide it. © 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.
