• On Dec. 11, 2008, Bernie Madoff, the founder and chairman of Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC, was arrested and subsequently convicted of fraud for the multi-billion-dollar Ponzi scheme that fleeced investors around the world for decades. • On Dec. 12, 1968, American actress Tallulah Bankhead died at the age of 66 from double pneumonia. A flamboyant personality with a huskily seductive voice and a flair for exhibitionism, her greatest success was as a stage actress (she was the inspiration for Blanche Dubois in “A Streetcar Named Desire”), though she also appeared in several prominent films and on TV and radio. • On Dec. 13, 1642, Abel Tasman, a Dutch explorer and merchant, reached the coast of South Island in New Zealand and named it Staten Landt. The first European in recorded history to land on the Australian island state of Tasmania, he claimed it for the Dutch crown, and it was named for him as well. • On Dec. 14, 1974, disaster film “The Towering Inferno,” starring professional rivals Steve McQueen and Paul Newman, was released. The film was shot in sequence so all the actors looked authentically haggard and dirty as it progressed. • On Dec. 15, 1840, Napoleon Bonaparte received a French state funeral in Paris more than two decades after his death on the island of St. Helena, when his remains were exhumed and transferred to the Hotel des Invalides on the initiative of the French prime minister and King Louis-Philippe. • On Dec. 16, 1907, in order to demonstrate America’s new presence as a world power, President Theodore Roosevelt embarked on a round-theworld cruise in a group of U.S. Navy battleships, making friendly courtesy visits to a number of international ports. • On Dec. 17, 1986, Special Agent Polifrone went undercover to lure out American mafia hitman Richard Kuklinski. Polifrone gave Kuklinski some fake cyanide to use for a murder. Kuklinski found out later that it was fake and decided not to go through with the hit but was arrested at a roadblock on his way home. © 2023 King Features Synd., Inc.

The Best of Holiday Blow Molds By Travis Landry Auctioneer & Specialist Bruneau & Co. Auctioneers Cranston, RI
M
y wife and I, probably like most of you, spent the last week decorating for the holiday season. While cruising the aisles of the hardware and home goods stores with her and Polly (our pup!), I noticed blow mold Christmas decorations have made a major comeback. For a few decades there, blow up lawn decorations were the popular choice – but not so much anymore! Wonder why? Just like with the collectability and popularity of toys rising and falling with generational interest, so too do blow molds. The average middle-aged person decorating their homes today likely remembers blow mold lawn decorations in every yard and holiday display of their childhood. Why wouldn’t they? They’re brightly colored, warm, fun, and life size for a kid. They brought their favorite characters like Frosty the Snowman, Rudolph, and of course, Santa, to life… and that translates to big time nostalgia for the average consumer. Admit it, deep down,
we all want to recreate a bit of the holiday magic we experienced as kids for ourselves! If, of course, you want to recreate the true Christmas experience of yesteryear for yourselves, you are not going to want any of these modern day blow molds. You probably want authentic vintage blow molds, just like the ones you grew up with. If you’re serious about collecting them, there are a few things to watch for while shopping around and hitting the flea markets. 1. Check for Markings: The underside of the blow molds will have markings. The older ones are embossed, and some even include the year. Pro tip: You don’t want any made in China! 2. Check for Repairs: Because they were prone to fading and cracking, some people painted over their blow molds or patched them up. This can affect their appearance. Pro tip: Use a flashlight to spot shoddy restorations! 3. Check the Electrics: Older electrical plugs have a different appearance than modern plugs and are a tip off its vintage. Pro tip: Wiring may be upgraded, so do more research and double check those markings! 4. Check for Barcodes: After 1974 barcodes were included on blow molds, so if a blow
mold is sans barcode, it might be an original. Pro tip: Barcodes can be removed, so do more research and double check the markings! At this point, you might be wondering how long holiday blow molds have been around, to which the answer is the 1950s. They were created at a time when plastics manufacturing came into full swing, by blowing molten plastic into a mold where it cools and hardens. Some major companies that were famous for festive blow molds were Union Products, Empire Plastic Corp., and General Foam Plastic. If you happen to have any authentic vintage holiday blow molds, take care of them! Keep them away from heat sources where they can melt and get them out of the sun as soon as

the holidays are over. Also, if you want to clean them, don’t use harsh chemicals on that old paint – a baby wipe will do! Finally, before making any major repairs to them, remember value often relies on condition – collectors expect well loved vintage blow molds to have some wear and tear! If you’ve got a collection of vintage blow molds you’re ready to part with in 2024, give us a call! We’ll be happy to rehome them to collectors who will appreciate them for the art pieces they are!

SAY YOU SAW IT IN THE REMINDER
BY JENNIFER COATES For Christians around the world, Christmas is a time to celebrate of the birth of Jesus Christ. In the New Testament, Jesus Christ is called many names; He is known as the Redeemer, the Deliverer, the Son of God, and the Only Begotten Son. He truly is the Prince of Peace in a world so often plagued with strife, intolerance, bigotry, and hate. For Catholics and those of other Christian faiths, His birth marks the entry of redemption, forgiveness, deliverance, hope, peace, and joy into the human experience. Members of the congregation of The Chapel of St. Therese of Lisieux in West Warwick embrace all that Jesus’s life represents and all that these names suggest He is. Indeed, their philosophy is “founded on the life and teachings of Jesus Christ.”
The Chapel of St. Therese is an inclusive Catholic Community that functions outside the jurisdiction of Rome. The Church’s ordained Pastor, Father Charles Vohs (affectionately known as Father Chuck) invites all to worship here alongside other faithful churchgoers. He and his fellow worshipers have created a space where those who have not felt welcome in the Catholic Church can come to feel accepted, supported, respected and safe. As believers, these congregants embrace the message of charity that this season represents, following the admonition of St. Therese who says: “Miss no single opportunity of making some small sacrifice, here by a smiling look, there by a kindly word, always doing the smallest right

Navigating the Holidays Embracing Hospice Philosophy in the Face of Loss The holiday season, a time traditionally associated with joy, warmth, and togetherness, can become a touching reminder of the fact that loved ones are declining, and this may be the last holiday we have with them, or we may feel the empty spaces left behind by the loss of a recent loved one. During such challenging times, the principles of hospice philosophy offer a guiding light, providing solace and support for those grappling with grief. While some think that admission to hospice care means the patient has just a few days to live, VNA of Care New England hospice patients receive hospice care for an average of three months before passing on. Hospice care is a collaboration bringing together a team of people with special skills — among them nurses, doctors, spiritual care advisors, social workers, home health aides, and trained volunteers. These team members work together with the person who is dying (terminally ill with less than six months to live), the caregiver, and/or the family to provide the medical, emotional, and spiritual support needed. President Jimmy Carter, the longest-lived U.S. president, announced in February that after several brief hospital stays, he would forgo further medical intervention and spend the remainder of his life at home in hospice care. The hospice care teams at the VNA of Care New England are working toward achieving a dignified, pain-free end to terminal illness. Research shows that pain increases in the last two years of life, often becoming the most intense in the last four months. Uncontrolled pain can lead to other issues includ-

ing shortness of breath, restlessness, and anxiety. This uncontrolled pain can also prolong the grieving process for loved ones. If you notice an increase in pain or other difficult symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, trouble swallowing, or pressure ulcers that don’t improve with treatment, hospice care may help. When your loved ones wait to enter hospice care until their final days and weeks of life, they miss out on the full benefit of hospice services. The VNA of Care New England Hospice program provides services mostly in private homes, but also in skilled nursing facilities, assisted living facilities, and hospitals. We provide medical equipment and supplies, symptom management, and spiritual support with a chaplain who meets people where they are, without judgment. We also provide assistance with daily living activities like bathing from a hospice aide, which allows family members to focus on quality time with their loved one. Our social workers/support counselors provide emo-

tional support and community resource information and referrals. Our trained volunteers help with simple household tasks but mainly provide extensive emotional support through companionship and caregiver respite. The VNA of Care New England has a comprehensive bereavement counseling (grief support) program to help loved ones process grief through monthly grief support mailings, one-on-one support sessions, and weekly 90-minute grief support group sessions at accessible community locations. When you think it may be time to start the hospice conversation, be sure you understand the options. Learn as much as you can about end-of-life care options such as hospice so that you can answer questions and offer support to your aging parents or loved one. The loss of loved ones during the holidays is a poignant experience that many face. Embracing hospice philosophy can serve as a guiding light, offering a framework for understanding, acceptance, and healing. Through open communication, shared experiences, and a supportive community, we can honor the memory of our departed loved ones and find solace during the holiday season. Call the VNA of Care New England Hospice today for more information about hospice care at 401-737-6050.
