I come from a Portuguese family, and throughout my thirty-three years of life, my parents made it a very important factor to teach me the language of our culture. They spoke both English and Portuguese in our home. I have created the same values for my son’s upbringing. However, his father is concerned and seems to think that we should only speak English to our son because he feels learning two languages at the same time could possibly delay his speech.

AG Kilmartin hosts open government summit Attorney General Peter F. Kilmartin is pleased to announce that the latest installment of his Open Government Summit is scheduled for Friday, August 1, 2014 from 9:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at Roger Williams University School of Law in Bristol, RI. The Summit is free and open to the public; community members, public employees, elected officials and all those interested in learning more about transparency and accountability in government are encouraged to attend. "The Office of Attorney General is charged with investigating complaints for violations of the Access to Public Records Act and the Open Meetings Act. Each complaint filed with the office is reviewed with great due diligence and care to ensure that public bodies are complying with the letter of the law and that the complainants are afforded a process that reflects our shared commitment to open government," said Attorney General Kilmartin. "Compared to a year ago at this time, we have seen an increase of approximately 50 percent in Open Meetings Act complaints and Access to Public Records Act complaints filed with the Office. While not a scientific study by any means, based on this increase in complaints filed with the Office, I believe the public has embraced the office's role as citizen watchdog to ensure the government is being transparent and responsive to the needs of its citizens, and recognizes that the opinions of this office are thorough, thoughtful, and fair," added Kilmartin. After opening remarks by Attorney General Kilmartin and Michael J. Yelnosky, Dean for Roger Williams University School of Law, Assistant Attorney General Michael W. Field, chief of the Open Government Unit, and Special Assistant Attorney General Lisa Pinsonneault will give a presentation explaining the statutory requirements of the state's Access to Public Records Act and the Open Meetings Act. The presentation will include 2013/2014 case law, best practices and examples of frequent trouble areas. The Summit will feature a Q&A session with the Open Government Unit, and a panel discussion involving accessing meetings and records from the public and media perspective. Panelists include WJAR-TV I-Team Investigative reporter Katie Davis, Providence Journal columnist Ed Fitzpatrick, Johnston City Solicitor William Conley, Esq., and Pawtucket City Clerk and president of the Rhode Island Town Clerks Association Richard Goldstein. Details: Space is limited, and individuals who would like to attend the Open Government Summit must register with the Office of Attorney General. To register, please call (401) 274-4400, ext. 2101, or email agsummit@riag.ri.gov. Fully embracing the idea of accessible government, Attorney General Kilmartin is once again partnering with ClerkBase to stream the presentation live through the Attorney General's website, www.riag.ri.gov. In addition, staff from the Office of Attorney General will be live tweeting throughout the event (hashtag #OpenGovRI). Individuals may submit questions in advance that will be answered during the Q&A portion of the Summit at agsummit@riag. ri.gov. Check-in takes place from 8:30 a.m. - 9:00 a.m. An agenda for the event is available on the Attorney General's website at www.riag.ri.gov.

Should you be a “hands-on” investor? If you want to send your children or grandchildren to college, retire comfortably and achieve other important life goals, you will have to invest — it’s that simple. But the process of investing can sometimes seem anything but simple. What can you do to gain confidence that you are making the right investment moves? The answer may depend on how involved you want to be with your investment decisions. Initially, you might think that you would like to be totally “hands on.” After all, how you save and invest your money is unquestionably a highly personal matter. And once you start exploring the investment world, you may find it fascinating, as it entails virtually every human endeavor imaginable: business, politics, science, the environment, and so on. But if you want to completely run your own show, you will need to put

in a lot of work — such as studying the financial markets, staying up-todate on changing investment environments and monitoring your portfolio to make sure it is still appropriate for your financial needs and goals. Most people find that they do not have the time or expertise to manage this investment process on their own, which is why they turn to professional financial advisors. The key advantage in working with an advisor is that he or she knows your risk tolerance, goals and family situation, and can help you create a personalized, long-term investment strategy. A good financial advisor will communicate with you regularly and make recommendations. A financial advisor can offer you a variety of strategies and types of investments — such as stocks, bonds and mutual funds — to help you work toward your goals. Ul-

timately, though, you will be the one to make the “buy” or “sell” decisions. Some investors prefer to leave even the buy-and-sell decisions to professionals. Most financial advisors offer advisory programs that take care of this for you. With these programs, you choose a professionally managed portfolio of investments. The programs typically offer a wide range of portfolios, so you can choose one that’s appropriate based on your needs, goals and risk tolerance. Each portfolio contains a broad range of investments that are selected by professional analysts and represent a variety of asset classes. Advisory programs also offer a sophisticated rebalancing process designed to keep your assets allocated appropriately, which can help keep you on track toward your specific financial goals. Whether you choose to make your own decisions in consultation with a

financial advisor or to invest in an advisory program — or both — you really should learn as much as possible about your investments. Whichever method you decide is best for you, remember that investing involves risk, and investment performance is never guaranteed. So make sure you’re asking the right questions, such as: What are the risk characteristics? How has a particular investment vehicle performed relative to others in its category? What are the tax implications of owning and selling a specific investment vehicle? What are the costs and fees associated with each choice? As you may have heard many times, knowledge is power — and that’s certainly true in the investment arena. This article was written by Edward Jones and submitted by Michael S. Abbood, AAMS, 187 George Waterman Rd., Johnston. Some of the Fan Club members will be attending the RI Reds Heritage Society’s 14th Annual Reunion, coming up in August. The Boston Bruins have had a busy summer as well, they have been working hard at signing players for the new season. They have signed Tyler Randell, Zach Trottman, Tommy Cross, Craig Cunningham, Jordan Caron, and Jeff Florek. They all played for Providence last season. Good luck to all the players this coming season!!!

Paul Caranci to be honored for Political Courage The National Association of Secretaries of State (NASS) will honor Rhode Island Deputy Secretary of State Paul Caranci with the 2014 Margaret Chase Smith American Democracy Award, which recognizes acts of political courage. The announcement marks the first time in the 22-year history of the award that a Secretary of State office representative has received the honor. Caranci was nominated by Indiana Secretary of State Connie Lawson for his courage in working with the FBI and other law enforcement entities to expose public corruption and bribery schemes that were masterminded by three of his fellow town councilmen in North Providence, Rhode Island, placing his own political career and personal and family safety at great risk. NASS announced Caranci's selection by member vote during the organization's summer meeting this week in Baltimore, Maryland. He will be presented with the award at the NASS 2015 Winter Conference on February 10-13 in Washington, DC. NASS established the Margaret Chase Smith American Democracy Award in tribute to the former U.S. Senator from Maine, who jeopardized her career by speaking out against the red-baiting tactics of Senator Joseph P. McCarthy. Recipients of the award are recognized for similar acts of political courage, uncommon character and selfless action in the realm of public service.

DINING

July 25 - August 7, 2014

Guide

Did you

know?

When hosting a dinner party, hosts might be asked to provide some gluten-free foods. Gluten is a general name for proteins found in wheat that help foods maintain their shape. But gluten also can be found in cereal grains such as rye and barley as well as a variety of crossbreeds. Gluten is not unhealthy, but many people are gluten-intolerant. When such people, who may suffer from celiac disease, consume gluten, they may be triggering an immune system response that damages their intestines and prevents them from absorbing nutrients they need to stay healthy. Some gluten-intolerant people may be suffering from a wheat allergy that can produce various reactions to wheat allergens. Party hosts concerned about guests with a gluten intolerance may want to consult those guests about which foods they can and cannot eat. A gluten-free diet typically forbids gluten-intolerant men, women and children from consuming bread, beer, french fries, pasta, salad dressing, soy sauce, andcertain soups. However, many food manufacturers have begun to produce gluten-free alternatives to popular foods and beverages, making it easier than ever for dinner party hosts to cater to gluten-intolerant guests

DINING Do you

multi-task?

Do you find yourself eating while driving, at your desk at work, on the phone, as you’re cooking, while watching television, or at the movies? You may be a distracted eater. These days, it can seem strange to just sit down and focus on what you’re eating. Because we tend to multi-task, it’s easy to eat a large amount of food you don’t even remember. Think of the times you may have pulled up at the drive-through window, then ate everything in the container while you drove. Hopefully, you were paying attention to your driving, which left you finishing everything whether you were still hungry or not. Or the times you’ve had a bag of chips nearby while watching TV and how you kept reaching into the bag until you reached the bottom of it – empty! Then you find yourself asking, “Did I really eat the whole thing?” If someone wants to lose weight, we often talk about becoming a “mindful eater.” This is someone who listens to body cues of hunger and satiety to regulate when they eat and how much. It takes work in our society to be a mindful eater because food is everywhere and we are often conditioned to eat for reasons other than being hungry. A great example is at the movies. Most people arrive after having dinner and are not physically hungry, but eat out of habit. Are you physically hungry when you’re eating at the movies?

Babies are the world’s best mindful or intuitive eaters. You know, if you’ve ever taken care of a baby or toddler, that they will let you know when they’re hungry. They’ll also let you know when they’ve had enough. You can try to override the baby’s intuitive signals by spooning more food into them, but they’ll let you know if they’ve had enough by either turning their head or spitting it back at you! Those intuitive signals of hunger and satiety are still within you! It can take some work and practice to be guided by them, but you’ll feel better when you eat because of physical cues. Start by asking yourself, whenever you feel the need to eat, if you are truly PHYSICALLY hungry, or if instead, you NEED something. If you’re not physically hungry, it could be that you’re bored or frustrated or stressed or experiencing one of the mad, sad, glad emotions. We tend to use food as a strategy to deal with emotions because of our upbringing. Think about when you were growing up and you were hurt or had a bad experience or were celebrating something. Were you offered a cookie or ice cream or some kind of treat whether you were hungry or not? That’s how using food as a strategy to deal with emotions begins. Instead, think of how you can address those needs and emotions without food. Keeping a journal noting food eaten, mood, and physical hunger levels can help you find patterns. Some people also find it helps to work with a counselor to develop nonfood strategies of dealing with emotions. Stop and listen to your body. What does physi-

Guide

cal hunger feel like? For some people, it can feel like an empty feeling in the stomach, or a slight growling, or a little lightheadedness, or feeling a little grouchy, especially if you go too long without food. People often get hungry every 3 to 5 hours. It’s good to try to pay attention to your body during those times and listen for your signals of hunger. If it’s been longer than 5 hours, and you’re not sure if you’re hungry, you might want to have a small amount of food, such as Greek yogurt, or a small fruit with a small handful of nuts, just in case you did miss the signal to eat. The wonderful thing about having a physical signal to start eating is that you’ll then have a signal that tells you when you’ve had enough. In other words, pause after eating and wait at least 20 minutes before having seconds. Usually, you’ll get the feeling of being satisfied, no longer hungry. It’s important to try not to keep eating until full, as many people do. Instead, eating when physically hungry and stopping when satisfied, not full or stuffed, helps control portion sizes and calories and helps you reach a healthy weight. Try also choosing just one place at home and work to eat all meals and snacks. Use a table and chair, with your food on a plate. Choose a very pleasant place, so you can enjoy and savor the food you’re eating. Avoid having the TV on, being on the computer or phone, reading, or driving while eating. Re-learning how to be a mindful eater is rewarding for both the mind and body! Karen Zangari, RD, has been a Registered Dietitian for over 20 years.

Shamrock Financial celebrates 25 years Rhode Island’s #1 Mortgage Lender Rhode Island based Shamrock Financial Corporation celebrates its 25th anniversary on July 19th. The home mortgage lending innovator was founded by East Providence natives F. Dean Harrington and Kevin M. Burns in 1989. From its humble beginnings through periods of intense market and industry volatility the company has thrived and grown. Today Shamrock operates eight offices throughout southern New England and employees over 50 dedicated banking professionals. Shamrock Financial’s roots are firmly set in the American Dream of homeownership and in passionately educating and motivating real estate professionals and prospective home buyers. The company’s foundational values are anchored in the local towns and communities it serves. “Homes are the bedrock of cities, towns and neighborhoods in this country so our focus – and our opportunity to serve - is uniquely connected to those communities. It gives us our ‘Why’ each day”, remarked Dean Harrington, Shamrock CE0.

Shamrock’s longevity - in an industry that has seen hundreds of its competitors perish - is a result of the company’s keen focus on the client experience. “With every project and every decision we ask ‘What’s best for the client experience?’. Long ago we identified that it’s about their needs, not our goals. The same holds true for how we see our staff.” Shamrock President Rod Correia commented. Shamrock Financial is a privately owned direct mortgage lender licensed in Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Hampshire, New York, Virginia and Florida. The company has lent over $5 billion dollars to local homeowners while donating to hundreds of local charities and organizations. NMLS # 2227; Shamrock Financial Corp. is an Equal Housing Lender If you would like more information about this topic, please contact Shalimar Albanese at 401228-9627 or email at Shalimar.albanese@shamrockfinancial.com.
