A tournament to ‘remember’

The Randy Hien Tournament was held this past Memorial Day weekend at Hien field. The tournament marks the 8th year Lincoln Little League has hosted this event. The overall goal of the tournament is to pay tribute to Lincoln Little League coach Randy Hien. Hien passed away in 2006 but his spirit and love of the game is carried on in the yearly tournament. Each year, league players come together and play on different teams than they do during the regular season and play a tour-nament. “The best way to honor his memory is to put together a group of Lincoln kids and have them play some fun, com-petitive baseball.” Congratulations To Team #3 Orange for winning the tournament.

The last Monday in May, Memo-rial Day, a day of commemoration for the costly sacrifices that built our country. Crescent Park was Riv-erside's jumping off point for their annual star and striped parade down Bullocks Point Avenue.

While flags were kept half-staff until noon, and short stones in cem-eteries were decorated with flags –– traditions passed down from the civil war when the holiday was called Decoration Day –– modern America lifted the solemn veil of mourning for fallen soldiers and celebrated the victories that came from their deaths.

Gunshots. The march began. Vet-erans carrying flags and resting guns on their shoulders initiated the pro-cession. Leather booted and gloved police clad in iron grey succeeded, a serious reminder of the danger nec-essary in keeping law and order.

Harleys rumbled, followed by a fanfare of brass, woodwind, sym-bols and drums –– the Riverside Middle School Band, draped in red, came on in a colorful, festive spir-

it, setting the tone for the groups, clubs, schools and organizations that followed.

Twinkle Toes dance academy dipped and stepped a purple whir of a routine behind a cylindrical, wacky, waving, inflatable, arm flail-ing, tube man that undulated above the road. The Self-Defense Training League twirled staffs and nunchuks in karate whites and colored belts.

Dens and Troops of Girl Scouts, Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts carried their respective banners ornament-ed with varying levels of color and craft: vests and patchwork, scarves and honors, hand prints and face paint. Some sat in carriages or truck beds with Uncle Sam top hats and blue mustaches, waving little Amer-ican flags.

Another bluer band from the Edward R. Martin Middle School played, and a group of suit and tie politicians pulled children in plastic red wagons. A gang of BMX rid-ers followed a flatbed with a classic rock band from the K-Rob Founda-tion that belted out Credence Clear-water.

The Bayside School of Dance, decked out in classic American col-ors, high kicked for the crowd –– a

happy hoopla of expression for the citizens living next to the bay.

Almost an apex for the cavalcade, the East Providence High School Band marched and whooped in disciplined time, garbed in red uni-forms and feathered helmets. Rat-tling snares and beating basses, a rhythm stirred reminiscent of civil war processions headed to the fields of battle.

As if returning to the days that defined our country, the times of Abraham Lincoln, when the country divided, then united stronger than ever, the serious steps of the band transformed the bravura into a me-thodical march.

The firefighters of Riverside –– wielding axes and dressed in for-mal, long sleeved, black coated, admiral capped and white gloved attire –– strode in formation. But, even the lower ranking, dressed in blue button ups and ties, wore faces of good times and smiles.

A final convoy of classic cars honking ahooga horns and the pa-rade moved past the spectators seat-ed in lawn chairs under umbrellas. Waving, smiling, laughing, throw-ing candy, seeing people up to good things, honoring fallen soldiers, supporting the living ones, enjoying the general spirit that we live in a great land.

Backyard barbecues and pool par-ties are staples of summer. Such fes-tive events with family and friends create memories that last a lifetime. But as enjoyable as such get-togeth-ers can be, many are not terribly eco-friendly, an unfortunate reality that can take a heavy toll on the planet.

Reducing summer party waste is not very difficult. Eco-conscious hosts can take several steps to reduce the carbon footprint of summer party season.

* Serve guests using reusable kitchenware. Though a backyard barbecue may seem like the perfect time to pull out the paper plates and plastic cups, such items are wasteful. Hosts might have to do a little extra work, but serving guests using reus-able kitchenware can make any pool party more eco-friendly. Such items can be reused again and again all season long. And hosts don't need to use the fine china, opting for plastic plates and cups instead. Such items are dishwasher-friendly, meaning the only extra work hosts have to do is load and unload the dishwasher.

* Don't go overboard with main items. Many hosts know that they are bound to have some leftover hamburgers and hot dogs after everyone goes home for the night. Those leftovers often end up going to waste. Instead of making too many items that can't be enjoyed as leftovers, hosts can make more salad and pasta that might taste bet-ter the day after. In addi-tion, such items can be sent

home with guests, whereas guests are unlikely to take home burgers and franks. Hosts who find themselves with a substantial amount of leftovers should call a nearby food bank or homeless shelter to see if they accept leftovers as donations.

* Organize the menu with friends. Some people feel that party eti-quette dictates that guests bring something to the party. While this is a great way to relieve hosts of some of the financial burden of hosting a party, it can also produce waste if guests bring the same items. In the days before the party, hosts should contact their friends and family to make sure everyone is bringing something different. This reduces the likelihood that food will end up going to waste.

* Recycle bottles and cans. Wheth-er it's beer, soda or water, beverages served at barbecues and pool parties tend to come in bottles or cans. To ensure a party is more eco-friendly, hosts should designate a garbage can for just bottles and cans, directing guests to discard these items in an eco-friendly way.

interest on a potential resume. The recognition was part of the eighth annual Richard W. and Ron-

ald S. Buteau Memorial. The mother of these honorable soldiers, Glo-ria Buteau was part of the symbolic gesture where the Commissioner of Education, Deborah Gist, was given a watercolor and marker paint-ing of hands forming symbols of peace.

The memorial is part of the Gift of Art to the State of Rhode Island program that started in 1995, URI having taken over the program in 2002. There are 160 pieces in the collection to date. Every year a dif-ferent school district is chosen to participate. This year it was Johnston for their above ordinary efforts in supporting the arts in education.

Among these were veined leaves, colored like depictions in old field guides or in bright highlights like signs down a busy boulevard. Scenes of vaulting winter skies above a family of round men made of snow.

Acrylic, earth tone realism, surreal depictions of unreal worlds, a pastel rainbow forming the figure of an equine, a city street corner in pen and ink black and white –– the art varied by the individual's hands that took up instrumentation and crafted images and colors out of thin white paper.

Before the ceremony got underway, a high school junior, Sam Kue, got on stage in purple plaid and ripped jeans. With a dark brown acous-tic guitar, she strummed and sang cover songs in a light, natural voice.

The ceremony was a series of speeches and gestures, acknowledg-ing the accomplishments of teachers and administrators for their dedi-cation, praising the cultivated talents of our state's youth and looking into a future where on every wall may hang a priceless gem.

“Someone sitting in this room will be a leader in the world of art,” said Vice Provost, John McCray, in a deep, strong voice. He spoke of his youth in Michigan where agents would scour the streets for untouched talent, making artists like The Supremes, Marvin Gaye and Stevie Wonder.

Steven Pennell, Coordinator of Arts and Culture, had kids stand who had pieces in the gallery, had teachers stand who helped out. He gave the crowd depth and action, keeping the evening entertaining. A humble collectivism pervaded his address, showing how many people were involved in pulling the art and the evening together.

A mad, zany costume caricature of a doctor, The Big Nazo, inter-rupted Pennell's speech with his own antics and inspirations, convers-ing with his siamese twin all the while.

Commissioner Gist's allocution went into detail about how Rhode Island has pioneered a movement to support art in school by requiring kids to be proficient in some creative field in order to graduate high school.

Rhode Island aims to build well rounded citizens who can do any-thing once they toss their mortarboards in the air. Art is that tool that rounds the corners, uses the faculties of the brain that inspire innova-tion –– designing new inventions to build a better tomorrow.

The elementary artists include: kindergardener Averi Senecal from the Early Childhood Center, third grader Hannah Calabro from Sarah Dyer Barnes School, and fourth grader Martha Sanches from Thorn-ton Elementary.

From Nicholas A. Ferri Middle School: sixth grader Jenni Aubin, seventh grader Gianna Paris, and eighth grader Michael Mollicone. From Johnston Senior High: sophomore Andrew Sano, senior Allyson Pavone, and senior Hayley Pareira.

For their first year, the art pieces can be seen on the fourth floor of the old Shepard building where URI's department of education is lo-cated. Then, they will be moved to a permanent home with the entire collection on the second floor.

Governor Lincoln D. Chafee an-nounced today that Kids Reading Across Rhode Island, the 'one book, one state' initiative for students in grades 4-6, commences its fifth year with a kickoff event on Saturday, May 31. The event will feature Chris Gra-benstein, author of the puzzle mystery Escape From Mr. Lemoncello's Li-brary, and will take place from 2– 4 p.m. at the Rhode Island State House.

"It's a pleasure to have the State House serve as home to the annual kick-off for this statewide reading event," Governor Chafee said. "The ways that libraries creatively engage youth in reading helps keep children connected with learning throughout the summer."

The festivities include a talk by Chris Grabenstein, life-size board games, and hands-on science activi-ties presented by Rhode Island li-braries. Every family in attendance will have the opportunity to receive a free copy of the book signed by the author (while supplies last), and to meet the author. Grabenstein has writ-ten a number of books, including the No. 1 New York Times bestseller with

James Patterson, I Funny.The event also marks the start of the

statewide Summer Reading Program coordinated by the Rhode Island Of-fice of Library and Information Ser-vices and hosted by libraries across the state. Now in its 35th year, the Summer Reading Program is a co-operative effort to motivate children and teens to read for pleasure and to help them maintain their reading skills during the summer months. In 2013, 16,000 children and teens participated in the program at their local libraries, and 17,000 people overall attended summer reading events.

"State funded support for library summer reading programs and the coordination of educators for library programs are some of the many ways that the state bolsters public libraries in every community" said Richard Li-cht, Director of the Rhode Island De-partment of Administration.

"Local public libraries offer summer reading programs for children, teens and adults. We encourage everyone to visit their local library this summer to participate in reading programs and enjoy presentations by summer read-

ing program educators and artists," said Karen Mellor, acting Chief of Li-brary Services at the Office of Library and Information Services. "And of course, we hope everyone will borrow a book or two or download an eBook for free through their public library's online Ezone." Ezone is provided by members of Ocean State Libraries, the public library consortium.

Chris Grabenstein is the author of the New York Times Bestseller Es-cape From Mr. Lemoncello's Library and co-author (with James Patterson) of the #1 Bestsellers I Funny, I Even Funnier, and Treasure Hunters. He is also an award-winning author whose Haunted Mysteries and hilarious school presentations have won him thousands of fans. Chris and his wife live in New York City with three cats and a dog named Fred. For more about Chris Grabenstein and his books, visit www.chrisgrabenstein.com.

The Kids Reading Across Rhode Is-land program is a partnership between the RI Office of Library and Informa-tion Services and the RI Center for the Book, made possible through a vibrant collaboration of librarians, teachers,

and student readers from across the state. The State House event serves as a kickoff for the annual statewide summer reading program, which has a 2014 theme of "Fizz, Boom, Read." All summer, public libraries statewide will offer free programs inspired by Escape From Mr. Lemoncello's Li-brary.

The Office of Library and Informa-tion Services (OLIS), an office within the Department of Administration, is the state library agency for Rhode Is-land. OLIS supports and strengthens library and information services in the state to ensure that all residents will benefit from free and convenient access to library and information re-sources and services.

About the RI Center for the Book at the RI Council for the Humanities is a statewide organization devoted to promoting community enrichment and literacy by celebrating the art and heritage of reading, writing, making and sharing books. The organization was established in 2003 as an affiliate of the Center for the Book in the Li-brary of Congress. To learn more, visit www.ribook.org.

‘Kids Reading Across Rhode Island' kicks off at the State House

This summer, children, teens, and adults can all take advantage of special summer reading programs at the Gloces-ter libraries – the Harmony Library and the Glocester Manton Library.

FIZZ, BOOM, READ! is a program for children of all ages (pre-readers in-cluded) with a variety of programs for all reading levels. All children will receive prizes and free books as reading incen-tives and will also be entered into Paw Sox and Disney World raffles after reg-istration.

Kids don’t have all the fun. SPARK A REACTION, the Teen Summer Reading Program, offers science based programs that will spark a happy response in your teen. Adults also can join the fun by read-ing or listening to one book or reading six children’s books to your pre-reader, then can enter several raffles to win a gift certificate. In addition, there will be book discussions, art and photo programs, and a Music by the Barn concert in August.

Make reading a family event this sum-mer and register at the Harmony Library

and the Glocester Manton Library begin-ning June 19. Information on the pro-grams will be on the libraries’ websites beginning June 1.

The libraries want to start off the Sum-mer Reading Program with a family pic-nic. Join other families at Pulaski Park, while registering for the Glocester librar-ies Summer Reading Programs on June 19 at 4 p.m. Socialize with other fami-lies, swim, eat, and play tons of different outdoor games. Bring your own picnics, swimsuits, and beach items to Site 01. Parking is available in the Area 3 lot. All ages are welcome and no registration is required.

If you can’t attend the picnic, you can still register for the Summer Reading Programs at either library. Registrations must be done in person; no phone regis-trations are possible.

Glocester Libraries offer summer reading programs for all agesAfter receiving an alarming

phone call from an individual who was almost victim to a home inva-sion perpetrated by a person claim-ing to be from National Grid stating they needed access to her home to check the meter, Attorney General Peter F. Kilmartin and National Grid are warning all Rhode Island-ers to be sure to verify the identity of anyone who tries to gain access to their home.

According to the caller, a man presented himself at the residence as an employee of National Grid and stated he needed to enter the home to read the meter. The caller was immediately suspicious, did not let the individual inside and contacted National Grid to see if there was a scheduled visit. Upon learning from National Grid that the individual was not an employee, the caller immediately contacted the Cranston Police.

If an individual knocks on your door requesting access to your home to check the meter, or claims to be from another utility company, and does not have proper identifica-

tion, do not let them into the home and contact police immediately.

"Impersonating a legitimate busi-ness to gain access to a home for the purposes of committing robbery or possibly worse, is extremely con-cerning. My first concern is the pub-lic's safety. Do not let anyone you don't know into your home without first confirming who they are and why they are there. If something doesn't add up, contact the police immediately," said Attorney Gen-eral Kilmartin.

Kilmartin contacted National Grid to report this issue and to confirm proper procedures when a certified National Grid employee needs to gain access to a home. All National Grid employees and contractors working for National Grid carry a prominently-displayed photo ID with the company name and the employee's name. Custom-ers should always ask to see the ID before allowing entry to their prem-ises. Customers can also call the National Grid Customer Contact Center at 800-322-3223 to verify the person's identity.

speaking

In many areas of your life, you’re probably aware that it’s useful to keep emotions out of your decision-making — and that’s certainly the case with investing. However, it can be difficult to keep your feel-ings from influencing your invest-ment decisions. But you may find it easier to invest with your head, rather than your heart, if you know a little something about two different cycles: the market cycle and your emotional cycle.

Let’s start with the market cycle. If you’ve been investing for a while, you’re aware (probably highly aware) that the financial markets are rarely static — they are always moving up and down, at least in the short term. (Over the very long term, a period of many decades, the markets have trended up.) But these short-term movements, while perhaps appearing as “zigs” and “zags” on a daily basis, actually form a pat-

tern, or a cycle, that can last for months or years. These cycles are known as bull (up) or bear (down) markets. Go-ing back to the Great Depression, the average bear market has lasted 21 months, while the average bull market has extended for 57 months, according to research from Standard and Poor’s Index Services.

These market cycles greatly influ-ence investors’ attitudes and behavior. In fact, they lead to the formation of investors’ emotional cycles. During bull markets, investors tend to feel op-timism, excitement and even euphoria. But once a bull market ends and a bear market begins, investors start getting nervous. And the longer and deeper the bear market, the greater the depth of emotion felt by investors. These emotions can begin as anxiety and then progress to denial, fear, desperation and panic.

Furthermore, market cycles and emo-

tional cycles don’t really align. For ex-ample, investors may well experience euphoria when the market has reached its high point and a bear market has just begun. For a while, then, these inves-tors, fueled by their euphoric feelings over the big gains they’ve achieved, may continue pouring money into the market, even as it’s declining. This type of behavior, though, is probably better suited for when the market is already at a low, when investors’ dollars will buy more shares. Conversely, investors may reach the peak of their fearful-ness at the end of a bear market, just when things are about to turn around. At this point, their fear may hold them back from investing — even though, with prices low, it can be a good time to invest. Clearly, basing investment decisions on emotions can lead to poor choices.

So don’t get caught up in this pattern. Instead, strive to follow a disciplined

approach to investing. Build an invest-ment portfolio that reflects your objec-tives, risk tolerance and time horizon, and seek to hold appropriate invest-ments for the long term. Of course, you may well need to make adjustments along the way, but do it for the right reasons — such as a change in your goals or in the investments themselves — rather than as a reaction to the cur-rent market cycle.

Our emotions are powerful, and their power can increase when applied to such a meaningful aspect of our life as our finances. But if you can detach yourself, as much as possible, from the emotional cycle of investing, you can avoid considerable angst — while helping clear the path to pursue your goals.

April comes like an idiot, babbling and strewing flowers. Edna Vincent Millay

Can I transplant my lilies now? They are about 5-6 inches tall. There is frost about six inches down but thawed above that. Barbara, Gardner, MA

It is no problem biologically. Mechanically, you may need to be careful not to severe too many roots. This is like the winters that we had in the fifties. We have been trained to look for early starts. You will do no harm waiting another week or so.

When do I put down a grubicide on my lawn? The squirrels are already digging for them. Barbara

If your grass is green and the squirrels have arrived, the soil temperatures are allowing the grubs to as-cend . The squirrels have been anxious to get a good start, as well. It has been a long winter. I would put the grubicide down now. Soil temperature is more an indicator of how close to the surface the grubs have come. Get rid of the grubs and the squirrels will visit greener pastures.

My friend has a shady yard. She wants to plant same vegetables. There are nearby pecans and oak trees in the wood giving the shade. She is also handi-capped. Any suggestions? Tom, St. Louis, MO

You could get permission to cut the trees down. This is only a temporary solution. She can plant container gar-dens. If she uses short term 60 day tomatoes, peppers and eggplant , you could grab some early sunlight before the trees open up. Melons, cukes and squash also require a lot of sun-light. Radishes will come in 30 days. I would purchase a tomato plant with the flow-ers present and shoot for a 45 day fruition on small fruits like plum, cherry and grape tomatoes. They love

the heat, however. You can probably find a sunny spot for raised beds. There are some very good plas-tic ones with interlocking joints available. Lettuce, cabbage and other leafy veggies like cool temps and they can do good enough in some shade, especially where you are in the summer.

I have three grape plants indoors in pots. When can I put them outdoors? Bill, Ledyard, CT

Your average last frost date in zone 6 is May 15. In all likelihood this will be true this year. You will need to keep your ear to the ground and your nose to the air. You could cover them with a cloche to be sure. Glass cloches can be too hot if left unattended.

I would harden off the tissue by bringing them out doors on cold days above 45 degrees.

When do I cut back my raspberries and blackber-ries? They were sparse last year. Steve, Gardner, MA

You can cut the old canes and

half of the new shoots every fall or spring. Like li-lacs, half of the new shoots need to be cut down to the ground. All old canes should also be cut to the soil line. You can add a handful of 5-10-10 granule fertil-izer to each clump. Last year was an unusual pollinat-ing situation. Fertilizing every other year will help.

I have 30 hyacinths in pots in bloom from Easter. Can I plant them in the garden now? They are almost past bloom. Carol, Norwich, CT

Plant the bulbs anytime down into the soil about six inches. After they have finished flowering, you can cut them back to three inches from the ground. Unlike most tulips, they can be left for the winters. No need for fertilizer until fall.

“I’ve been wanting to do some-thing for veterans for a while and we got together with the Knights to put this event together,” Gagne commented. “The Knights give to a lot of charities. We are definitely looking to do this event again.”

The evening was emceed by Jim Gilchreast, CEO of the Knights of Columbus and Alfred Gagne, who is a veteran, having served in Viet-nam from 1968-1972.

“The Wounded Warrior Project is an excellent program which serves many functions to injured veterans,” Gilcreast explained. “They do a lot for our veterans. I am grateful to the Knights of Co-lumbus and the veterans for all they’ve done.”

DINING Guide

May 30 - June 12, 2014

DINING Guide

By Karen ZangariRegistered Dietitian

Have you ever seen products or menu choices marked as “gluten free” and wondered what it means? People often ask me if gluten-free means healthy and if they should be choosing those foods. The answer? It de-pends.

What is gluten?Gluten is a protein found in the grains WHEAT, RYE,

and BARLEY. Some people, however, are allergic to this protein.

For people with celiac disease, gluten flattens the ab-sorptive villi in the intestines, interfering with the ab-sorption of nutrients from food and damaging the small intestine.

The person may be anemic, have gas, bloating, diar-rhea or other symptoms after eating. Some people with celiac disease may have no apparent symptoms, but need to follow the gluten-free diet to prevent possible complications in the future.

Even very small amounts of gluten can make some people who are allergic to it or have a gluten sensitivity feel sick. Gluten allergy may also cause a skin condition called dermatitis herpetiformis.

A person may have tests for celiac disease come back negative but still feel sick after eating foods with gluten. In that case, the person may have gluten sensitivity. Re-search shows that many different diseases, symptoms, and disorders may be related to celiac disease and glu-ten sensitivity. Currently, the only treatment is 100% removal of gluten from the diet.

How is celiac disease diagnosed? Doctors usually order blood work, and the “gold standard” of diagno-sis is a biopsy of the small intestine. Please be sure to

talk with your health care provider BEFORE eliminat-ing gluten from your diet. You want your tests to be ac-curate, and if you remove gluten from your diet before testing, the tests may not show the effects gluten is hav-ing on your body.

You may feel overwhelmed, if you need to remove glu-ten from your diet, because doing so involves not only avoiding the grains wheat, rye, and barley, but also all foods, sauces, fillers, additives, and drinks that may have gluten in them. Joining a support group, like the Celiac Support Association at www.csaceliacs.org, may help.

Check out all processed foods, drinks, supplements, and medications you use. Knowing how food is pre-pared and reading the ingredient list are crucial to elimi-nating gluten. Some surprising gluten sources can in-clude Communion hosts, French fries, bouillon cubes, canned soup, soy sauce, flour used to prevent clumping in cheeses and spices, deli meats, condiment jars, toast-ers, Play Doh, lipstick and makeup, among others.

Here are some foods that contain gluten:Barley (malt), beer, bread, muffins, cakes, cereal,

cookies, brewer’s yeast, bulgur, couscous, graham crackers, malt vinegar, matzo, pasta, rye, and the grains: durum, einkorn, emmer, fu, kamut, semolina, spelt, triticale, wheat (flour, germ, bran, and starch).

Focusing on what you CAN eat is a good place to start.

Fruits, vegetables, fresh meat, poultry, eggs, nuts, beans, legumes, fish and tofu are gluten-free. Milk, but-ter, oils, and distilled vinegars that don’t contain malt are gluten-free. Rice, quinoa, corn, peas, and potatoes are naturally gluten-free.

What grains are gluten-free?Amaranth, bean flours, flax seed, teff, millet, tapioca,

sorghum, and buckwheat (despite its name) are gluten-

free foods.Cross-contaminationAlways keep gluten-free food separate from other

food (storage, preparation and serving). Use different toasters, pans, utensils and cutting boards. Store gluten-free foods above gluten-containing ones; use squeeze bottles for mustard, mayonnaise, and margarine, to keep crumbs out. Using separate serving dishes and utensils is also important.

Reading labelsThe FDA, in August 2013, defined “gluten-free” as

containing less than 20 parts per million of gluten. You must however, always check the ingredients in food you eat, and contact the manufacturer if you’re not sure it’s gluten-free.

Meeting with a Registered Dietitian (RD) who is ex-perienced in gluten-free guidelines can help with iden-tifying sources of gluten in your diet and planning a healthy way of eating.

Many people bake their own breads using flour sub-stitutes like bean flour, almond meal flour, potato flour, tapioca, along with cornstarch, eggs and xanthan gum. Substituting gluten-free grains is a challenge, but you’ll find many ideas in websites like www.celiac.org. Luck-ily, there are now many gluten-free products to choose from in the market, restaurants, and bakeries, such as A&J’s bakery.

It takes work and concentration, but benefits of com-plying with this new way of eating are great because:

-Symptoms will stop;-Existing damage will heal;-Further damage will be prevented;-The body will be able to absorb nutrients from food.Eating gluten-free is challenging, but for those who

have to, this lifetime commitment can change your life! Karen Zangari, RD, has been a Registered Dieti-

tian for over 20 years. You can hear her radio show, “Food First” on WOON 1240 AM Monday mornings at 9:08AM or on demand at www.onworldwide.com. She also provides medical nutrition counseling at Health-way RI, with locations in Cranston and Greenville, RI, 401-228-6010.

How can we help you? From our business officeOur business office can help you to

understand nursing home and skilled nursing facility costs. These costs can vary widely depending on the state that you live in. Average costs per year are around $70,000, so you need to plan ahead for funding nursing home care. It’s important to understand the limi-tations of insurance in covering costs.

Medicare only covers limited stays in nursing centers. If the Medicare criteria is met, skilled nursing or re-habilitation services are covered for a

period up to 100 days after an acute hospitalization. Medicae does not cover custodial care such as assistance with feeding, bathing and dressing; if that is the only care needed.

If your income and assets are lim-ited, you may qualify for Medicaid, which does cover most costs of nurs-ing home care. However, not all nurs-ing homes accept Medicaid. If you suspect that you may need extended nursing home care in the future, you may want to contact an elder law at-

torney to learn more about which as-sets are protected and to what extent. For example, if you have a spouse liv-ing at home, your home is normally not considered in eligibility for Med-icaid for nursing home purposes and some of your savings may be protect-ed as well.

If you have long-term care insur-ance, check the provisions of your plan to see what portion or nursing home coverage is protected.

Cherry Hill Manor’s business of-

fice would be happy to assist you with managing and planning for nursing home costs.

Cherry Hill. Manor is a 172 bed Skilled Nursing Community owned and operated by Life Care Centers of America. We offer both short and long term nursing and rehabilitation. We invite you to stop in for a tour at any time. We are located at Two Cherry Hill Road in Johnston, R.I. Please fell free to call us with any inquiries at (401) 231-3102.

EPHS Summer “2nd Sunday” Open Houses at John Hunt House. June 8, July 13 and August 10. Open 1:00 to 3:30 pm at 65 Hunts Mills Road. New exhibit “Crescent Park on the Ten Mile”.

Once upon a time at the beginning of the 20th century, the Ten Mile had its very own carousel, and a very spe-cial Loof at that! When you come to Hunts Mills, you can see the stone

circle marking the circumference of the ride, with pictures and history in-side the Hunt House. But this sum-mer, the ghost of that carousel will share the space with memorabilia of the still functioning carousel at Crescent Park, a ride which was the demo model for the Loof business, and the pride of East Providence. Ed Serowik, our own “ring boy,” brings his fabulous Crescent Park collection

to the museum and Ed himself will be on hand for “2nd Sundays” dur-ing the summer. You and your fam-ily won’t want to miss the fun. Come and share your memories of Crescent Park with us.

The 411 on the EPHSThe EPHS is a volunteer organi-

zation in its 47th year dedicated to the preservation of local history. We maintain the 18th century John Hunt

House Museum/ genealogy library at 65 Hunts Mills Road in the Hunts Mills Historic District, participate in the URI Master Gardening program, and provide educational programs open to the public.

Hockey season has come to an end for both Bos-ton and Providence Bruins. The 2nd round of the

playoffs weren't as successful, although they both gave a good fight and made the series go to game 7.

The P-B's Fan Club hosted a few Road Game Parties, at Wes' Rib House, All-Star Bar and Grill, Grid Iron Ale House Grill and Murphy's Law. It gave the fans a way to watch and support the P-B's while they were on the road. We had a great turnout at all the road games parties. Thank You to all the venues that hosted us!!!

The Fan Club would also like to congratulate our own Fan Club member for excepting a new role. Lisa Shea is now on the Executive Board as Sar-gent at Arms.

Our June Monthly Meeting will be held on Wednesday, June 18th at All-Star Bar & Grill in West Warwick.

Dad gets to be king of his castle at least one day during the year. Come mid-June, children near and far scramble for ideas to treat their fathers to a spe-cial day and award him with gifts for being a role model, provider and confidante. Father's Day activi-ties should be centered around Dad's interests. With that in mind, the following are some ideas to honor Dad or another special man in your life.

* Sports Sunday: If Dad is a sports fan, his idea of spending a fun-filled afternoon very well may be cheering on his favorite players. Whether your father enjoys golf, tennis, baseball, soccer, or another sport like hunting or fishing, chances are there is a televi-sion broadcast on that you can watch together. Other-wise, you can surprise Dad by purchasing tickets to a sporting event and making a day of it at the ballpark.

* Beach bound: A relaxing day at the beach may be the perfect way to spend Father's Day. Dad can enjoy the entire family while sitting back in his beach chair and watching the waves roll in. Pack a picnic lunch with his favorite foods and a cold beer, and Dad may just say this was his best celebration yet.

* Adventure seeker: If yours is a father who en-joys living on the edge, a Father's Day activity built

around action and adventure should be a winner. Take Dad base jumping, rock climbing, scuba diving, or race car driving. Any of these activities is bound to get Dad's adrenaline pumping.

* R&R: Dad's idea of the perfect Father's Day may be an afternoon free of obligations and deadlines. A relaxing day in the yard swimming laps in the pool or hitting a few grounders to your waiting baseball mitt may be all the excitement he needs. Toss a few steaks on the grill to give Father's Day a truly perfect ending.

* Impromptu party: Some dads like to be the cen-ter of attention. A Father's Day party thrown in his honor, complete with friends and family, can be an entertaining way to spend the day. If you are worried about interrupting others' Father's Day plans, host the gathering on the Saturday before Father's Day and let Dad be the life of the party. Finger foods, barbecue, a limited list of cocktails and other beverages and some background music are all that you need to host a festive function.

Plan a Father's Day celebration with your dad in mind. Cater to his favorite activities and opt for en-tertainment that he will enjoy.

How to make Father’s Day more enjoyable for Dad

transitioned into the suite one to two weeks prior to

discharge home. As defined in their individual Plan of

Care, the candidate will have goals established that work

day-to-day activities of daily living and functional status.

dressing, bathing & showering, bathroom functions,

small meal preparation, and typical home making tasks.

closely similar to what they will experience once they

return back home, this would also include some of
