The Great Outdoors: How Rhode Island is Redefining Dining,Post-Pandemic

by Heather R. Singleton

President/CEO, Rhode Island Hospitality Association

In a critical step forward, Rhode Island has again demonstrated its commitment to the vibrancy and resilience of our hospitality sector through the passage of RIHA’s proposed, permanent Outdoor Dining Bill.

As the incoming Interim President/CEO of the Rhode Island Hospitality Association (RIHA), I celebrate this achievement with our state’s restaurant owners, staff, and patrons.

The journey to this moment has been anything but simple. The challenges of the past several years have starkly highlighted the critical role that adaptability and innovation play in the survival and growth of Rhode Island’s hospitality industry. From staffing shortages and rising prices to the relentless hurdles posed by supply-chain disruptions, our businesses have faced an uphill battle to stay afloat. Amidst these trials, outdoor dining emerged not just as a temporary measure but as a vital component of the hospitality sector in Rhode Island’s ongoing recovery and sustainability.

The Outdoor Dining Bill’s passage is a testament to the power of collaboration and shared vision. I extend my heartfelt gratitude to Governor McKee, the leadership of the House and Senate, the bill’s sponsors—Senator Alana DiMario and Representative Carol McEntee— and our partners at the Rhode Island League of Cities and Towns, for their support.

Their collective efforts have paved the way for a law that provides stability and dependability for restaurant owners across our state, ensuring that outdoor dining can continue to thrive as an essential revenue stream.

The significance of this legislation extends beyond the immediate financial benefits. It represents a cultural shift towards more dynamic and inclusive dining experiences, enabling residents and visitors alike to enjoy Rhode Island’s unique culinary offerings, in the beauty of our outdoor spaces. This law not only supports our economic recovery. but also enhances the social fabric of our communities, fostering a sense of togetherness and joy that has been sorely missed.

As we look ahead, RIHA is committed to working alongside its members to navigate the opportunities and challenges that this new outdoor dining landscape presents. We will continue to advocate for

policies that support the growth and resilience of our industry, provide resources and guidance to help businesses adapt to changing regulations, and celebrate the innovations that keep Rhode Island at the forefront of culinary and hospitality excellence.

Heather R. Singleton The landscape of hospitality is ever-changing. With this legislative win, we are poised to emerge stronger, more adaptable, and more united than ever before. Let us embrace this moment as an opportunity to reimagine the future of dining in Rhode Island, creating spaces where community, culture, and cuisine come together in harmony.

As we usher in this new era of outdoor dining, it is crucial to recognize that this is just the beginning of a broader movement towards revitalizing Rhode Island’s hospitality industry. The Outdoor Dining Bill not only safeguards a key revenue source, but also opens the door to creative possibilities that can redefine the dining experience. We are embarking on a journey to make our state a destination where culinary innovation meets the charm of open-air enjoyment!

Lemons originated from East Asia, in either Burma or Southern China. Unlike most fruits that grew naturally in the wild, lemons are actually an invention of early civilizations, and the citrus fruit is a cross breed of the bitter orange and the citron.

Christopher Columbus first brought lemon seeds to the Americas in 1493. The Spanish conquest of the region then contributed to the further spread of the lemon.

With time, scientists discovered the medical benefits of lemons, as the fruits became popular for the prevention of scurvy, and that’s not all. Lemons are chock-full of nutrients such as vitamin C, magnesium, dietary fiber, flavonoids, antioxidant limonene, iron, and citric acid. This blend of nutrients boosts immunity, reduces the risk of heart disease and stroke, aids in digestive health, and even helps with weight loss.

Lemons, with their bright yellow color, remind us of the beautiful blooming flowers of the spring season.

Springtime is a reminder that summer is right around the corner. So, it suffices to say that the lemons you see piled up at your local supermarket are a surefire hint that warmer weather is right around the corner - just one of the many enticing factors for lusting after lemons.

Below are some luscious lemon desserts that are really yummy and easy to make!

KFC CHICKEN (ALMOST)

Al enjoys discovering great food, creative cocktails, and the people who make them. Listen to him on the Paul & Al show, weekdays on 94HJY. For more blogs delivered to your e-mail, sign up at www.livethelive.com.

By Al Milukas

I absolutely love fried chicken. So when I saw the story where the nephew of Colonel Sanders revealed the 11 secret herbs and spices that made KFC’s original recipe chicken a worldwide success, I had to try it! I have to say, it may not be exactly like KFC, but it’s darn close!

Making the chicken at home means I do have some control over product quality. I can use pastured or organic chicken. I can use clean oil. And I can oven-fry my chicken, meaning I fry it in oil until golden brown, then finish the cooking process in the oven.

Ingredients: 2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon white pepper

3 tablespoons paprika

1 1/2 teaspoons thyme

1 tablespoon celery salt

1 1/2 teaspoons basil

1 tablespoon dried mustard 1 tablespoon garlic salt 1 tablespoon ground ginger 2 teaspoons black pepper

1 1/2 teaspoons oregano 1 teaspoon salt 1 cup milk 1 egg 5 lbs. chicken (your choice) oil, for frying

Directions:

Combine the flour and the “11 herbs and spices” in a bowl. Mix well.

In another bowl, whisk together the milk and the egg. Add the chicken pieces to this bowl and let the chicken soak in it for 10 minutes.

Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees.

Pour a couple of inches of the oil into a pan with high sides and heat it to 340 degrees, using a thermometer. Don’t fill it with too much oil, because oil expands when hot and it could spill over.

Take the chicken pieces and coat them with the seasoning mix one at a time, making sure you coat them well. Carefully place the chicken in the hot oil. Don’t overcrowd the pan...work in small batches. Too much chicken could cause the oil to spill over the top.

Fry the chicken pieces just until golden...no need to cook them all the way through. Place the pieces on a baking sheet lined with non-stick aluminum foil. When all the chicken has been fried, place the baking sheet in the oven and cook until the chicken pieces reach an internal temperature of at least 160 degrees.

With the weather warming up and nature coming to life, there’s no better time to shed the winter blues and spring into a new, active chapter of your life.

Dynamic Thoughts By: Dr. Pete Dionisopoulos, PT, DPT

“When should I use ice, and when should I use heat?”

That could quite possibly be the most common question asked for all injuries.

Home of the

MedPack

The answer may be different than you thought.

Contrary to what you may think, when you first have a tweak, strain, or pull, you should refrain from using ice or heat for the first 3-5 days. The reason being is that inflammation that occurs is a natural healing process that brings more blood flow and repair mechanisms to the area. Ice would slow this process down, and heat would cause an overflow of fluid.

Once this window of time has passed, ice may be beneficial to reduce excessive swelling left over from repair, and control pain levels. If you have a chronic condition of swelling and inflammation in a joint after an old surgery or injury, ice can also be useful.

Heat is beneficial for stiffness. If you feel you don’t have as much pain with a movement, but need more mobility in an area, heat will increase blood flow and fluid, lubricating the joints and relaxing muscles to allow for smoother motion.

Pain associated with stiffness can also be present, making a combination of both heat and ice useful. To tackle this problem, you would heat the area prior to movements, and then use ice afterwards to reduce any excessive swelling.

BE YOURSELF FITNESS OPENS ITS DOORS AND ITS ARMS

BY PAUL LONARDO

“It ain’t about how hard you hit it. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward,” is more than just a quote from a Rocky movie.

There is a lot of truth in these words. The entire speech encompasses resilience, and it speaks to a lot of people. Chelsea Lumnah is someone who understands the significance in the message.

She lives it every day.

year in my personal life,” Chelsea says. “I lacked boundaries and tried to save everyone, without ever putting myself first. So, I carried this into my first year at gym, and between being a mom, working at my dad’s restaurant, and running my own business, I was just going too fast. I wasn’t able to catch up, and I didn’t take care of myself.”

Chelsea is not someone who is apprehensive or embarrassed to talk about her personal struggles. If she was, she wouldn’t have put herself in a position to help others, a desire which began three years ago, when she opened Revival Strength and Recovery. She established the facility as a community space, offering a combination of services, including a gym, a fitness center, and personal training services.

Without proper balance in her life, Chelsea emotionally, mentally, and physically burnt herself out. She ended up having to walk away from Revival Strength & Recovery for her own good.

Additionally, the facility provided resources related to addiction recovery, whether recovering from addiction, injury, trauma, or illness, with the mission of helping individuals on their journey toward better health and wellbeing. But unfortunately for Chelsea and her members, this venture didn’t last.

“When I opened the gym and recovery center, I was very lean and had been through an emotional 18 Shop In RI

“I went through an emotional and mental breakdown and became physically exhausted, which left me basically bedridden and zombielike for about a year,” Chelsea said. “I also stopped my counseling, which left me with many unhealed traumas that I never processed.

There was a time I didn’t think I was going to make it, but I fought and did not give up.”

Chelsea reopened her gym early this past March, but with a new plan and with putting herself first. She renamed her gym, Be Yourself Fitness, and she is happy for the fresh start.

“I’ve used my 27 years of gym experience and my

27 years in eating disorder recovery, to lay the foundation for my classes,” Chelsea explained.

“I have an amazing team of friends, family, customers from the Tavern on Main, as well as the most supportive community. I am also fortunate to have a supportive boyfriend, who is also sober in recovery, and who has helped me establish Be Yourself Fitness, at the same location where Revival had been. The owner of the building saved a spot for me. and I’m so grateful to him for this.”

Be Yourself Fitness has classes for both men and women of all ages. Classes include bootcamp strength training classes and cardio kickboxing.

Chelsea is available for one-on-one personal training, and starting in June, Chelsea and several others, including one of her first personal training clients (a teenager who is working on his senior project), are starting a program called Be yourself. The logo for this program was designed by Chelsea’s 8 year old son.

“This program will be aimed at preventing addiction and eating disorder addiction for 5-12 years-olds, by introducing them to fitness in a healthy way, and by encouraging them to be themselves and respect one another’s unique strengths,” Chelsea says.

The classes will include strength training and other exercise and fun activities. There will be fundraisers for kids who do not have the money to attend classes so they can participate.

“I’m excited for this new journey,” Chelsea says.

“I’m bringing my truest and healthiest version of myself, as well as all of my hard-learned lessons and experiences to the members at Be Yourself Fitness. The only requirements I ask of members is to be yourself, be prepared to laugh, and have a positive attitude. And, never give up.”

Be Yourself Fitness is located at 16 Terry Lane in Chepachet. For more information, call (401) 7870295. Follow Chelsea on Instagram @chelsea. lumnah and Facebook @Chel Lumnah.

Getting Summer-Ready Doesn’t Have To Be That Hard By: Susan Gazerro

Here we are again, approaching summer.

We all wait for the longer days and the warmer weather. People love this time of year because they can put away the long sleeves, gloves, hats and winter coats. It’s time for tank tops, shorts, sunglasses, and bathing suits. Fitness fanatics, especially, love this time of year, not only for the reasons mentioned above, but they also look forward to not having to be in the gym every day. They can do their workouts outdoors in the warmth of the sun.

Exercise becomes important to a lot of people this time of year because putting on a bathing suit can be challenging for many.

You probably think more about your body now than any other time of the year, except when you made that New Year’s resolution.

This feeling of wanting to be fit and look good can be very overwhelming, but it doesn’t 22 Shop In RI

have to be. It all begins in the mind. When you have a strong mind, you can accomplish and overcome anything. You must also find a way to be at peace with yourself. Learn to accept who you are, the way you are, and be confident. Think more about how your body feels, rather than how it fits into a predetermined, standard bathing suit. We all want to go to the gym to work on our physique, but it is much more important that you put your effort into activities that will help you move better, stay healthy, and feel strong. Once you have confidence, you don’t stress about the way you look. Your confidence becomes your beauty.

Workouts should also be fun. They shouldn’t feel like a chore. You should want to exercise.

Once you have your mind set that you want to workout and feel good, my advice is to find something you love. Find a hobby or

activity that keeps you moving, that you enjoy. Working out doesn’t have to be at a gym. Any type of movement is exercise.

The problem is that, we as a country, have been so spoiled with everything being at our fingertips, we don’t have to move as much. Even the grocery stores deliver to our homes. At least when you went to the market, you had to walk the aisles.

You had to carry the shopping bags from the car to the house. That may seem small, but all the small steps and carrying things add up. We no longer have to make any effort to do anything. It is all done for us. Although some consider this new way of life a convenience, the truth is, this convenience is not doing any of us any good. It can be hurtful to us, both physically and mentally.

Getting back to summer fitness, my point of all this is that you don’t need to stress about how you look in that bathing suit.

Focus on feeling and being the best you!

I repeat, don’t have some predetermined standard. Just make it a point to move your body more. Make it a point to drink more water and eat more protein. If you don’t stress about it, but just make small changes it will work. Think about how overthinking never works, but when you don’t overthink, things seem to fall in place. Well, I believe the same analogy is true when it comes to losing weight or wanting to become more fit. Yes, you need to have a certain level of dedication, but you don’t need to be obsessed. You need to relax, appreciate your body, and just make small changes that you can make part of your everyday routine.

Here are some helpful hints to start moving. If you like to golf, carry your golf bag and walk the course. If you are at

the mall, make it a point to walk the whole floor, every floor. When looking for a parking spot, purposely park far enough away, so you have to walk to the entrance. Again, these are forms of exercise. You are walking and moving. However, if you want to get into a more serious workout routine, I suggest working on your core first. A strong core makes all other body parts easier to exercise.

Having a strong core is not just about having a flat stomach. It’s about protecting your spine, strengthening your lower back, and making yourself stronger, all-around.

Remember, exercise is not just about how you look, it’s more about being healthy. The outward appearance is a fringe benefit. We are all built differently, so embrace how you look and exercise for the health of it. and you will inevitably see a physical difference.

Happy spring. Happy summer.

“Wholesome exercise in free air, under the wide sky, is the best medicine.”

Easy Clean: A Family Endeavor

by Mark Berger

Professionals have plenty of things to worry about, either at their jobs or companies, without also worrying about the chores needing to be done at home. There are not enough hours to adequately complete these tasks without something being forgotten or not done right. Even weekends take away from family obligations, work projects, and other plans.

A chore most people delay is cleaning. Whether it’s cleaning the kitchen, vacuuming the living room, or rounding up and throwing away the trash, many people will put it off until the last moment, or make somebody else do the undesirable task.

Instead of pushing the cleaning chores down the list, call a company specializing in cleaning large and small spaces, so customers can focus on other important areas.

Easy Clean in South Kingstown is the brainchild of Thomas and Vivian Howard. Their mission is working with residential and commercial clients on keeping their facilities clean and free from dust particles and other airborne viruses that can cause illnesses in the home or office. The couple began the company last April to provide a needed service, while helping others. The idea of providing their time appealed to the Howards.

“I owned another company, Patriot Thermal Controls in Warwick, before selling it, and began what became Easy Clean. Vivian and I discussed what we could do together and concluded that going into homes and offices offered a great opportunity to show off our cleaning acumen. It 28 Shop In RI

has been a slow build, but one that has succeeded this far because of word-of-mouth referrals.”

Thomas was born in Ashaway, RI, and has been part of many successful projects statewide. Vivian, native to Colombia, moved to Rhode Island in 2021, because she loved the culture, the people, and the food. Together, they founded Easy Clean in 2022.

It took about a year for them to create their new business. That included obtaining the equipment, training, and licensing needed to start.

One of their biggest differences and benefits is being bilingual. They are fluent in English and Spanish, which they say breaks down most miscommunication issues. Another point they rely on is their exceptional customer service. They pride themselves on doing a great job every time.

Their results have sparked additional work from their initial clients mentioning them to other friends, colleagues, and social groups.

Their process stems from cleaning and sterilizing the space, but continues deeper into the needs of their customers. Thomas also doubles as a licensed general contractor. He helps clients who have other projects that need fixing. He mentioned recently installing a sliding glass shower door for one customer, as one example.

What they also found early on was their ability to help people in need. Some of their customers include the elderly, the terminally ill, and nonprofit organizations. They want to contribute in their own way and clean their home or office at little to no cost. Thomas said that it’s their way of giving back.

“We try helping those who are in some type of need. I am not a veteran, but I help many veterans and veterans’ groups,” he said. “Vivian and I have a deep sense of pride in providing services to those who also helped others.”

For commercial clients, they understand the importance of first impressions. They want to create a welcoming environment for employees and customers alike. Their attention to detail sets them apart from other cleaning companies.

“Elevate your workspace with our exceptional commercial cleaning services that bring a touch of freshness to your professional environment.

A clean office isn’t just about appearances – it’s about fostering productivity and creating a positive impression on clients and employees alike,” Vivian said.

Added Thomas, “We want to provide families with a great service. I try to keep customers engaged with positive energy, clear communication, and the perfect plan, for the desired budget. Vivian brings an overwhelming warmness and comfort

to projects, while working diligently to make a time-saving, stress free environment become a reality.”

They have three employees, including the couple.

Thomas said that he has several people on call for bigger projects. Typically, one of their projects averages two to four hours to finish. “It depends on the size of the project and how fast it needs to get done,” he added.

Because Easy Clean is growing, they are seeking applications for sales representatives. The ideal candidate would be someone who can generate quality without direction. Compensation would be based on their ability to produce, so the sky could be the limit.

Easy Clean works with residential and commercial clients throughout Rhode Island. Their goal is to be Rhode Island’s most reliable and trusted cleaning service.

More details may be found by visiting their website at www.easycleanri.com. To schedule an appointment, please call (English) 401-7927056, or (Spanish) 401-218-5055.

Embracing Digital Transformation, While Maintaining Paper Solutions Automated Business Solutions (ABS), a company that began without a single customer in 1992, has evolved into a regional powerhouse, serving over 4,000 clients across New England, and employing 85 people as of March 2024. Founded by Alan Albergaria and Robert Maceroni, ABS has navigated the ever-changing business landscape, adapting to emerging technologies, while maintaining a strong foothold on traditional paper-based solutions.

While the notion of a “paperless society” has been a recurring prediction, ABS does not see it going completely paperless any time soon.

Over the past three decades, ABS has diversified its services, embracing computer-based solutions, like information technology and cloud services, alongside its traditional offerings of copiers, production print machines, postage machines, finishing equipment, and other business machines. This adaptability has enabled the company to cater to the evolving needs of its clients, while maintaining a competitive edge over larger, multinational conglomerates that may struggle to provide the same level of agility and personalized service.

If your office is thinking about going paperless, here are some things to keep in mind…

Transitioning to a paperless office environment offers several advantages. By digitizing documents and processes, businesses can significantly reduce the need for physical storage space, freeing up valuable office real estate, previously occupied by bulky filing cabinets and storage rooms. Digital documents also enhance data security and protection, as they can be safeguarded with robust encryption and access controls, minimizing the risks of loss, theft, or unauthorized access that physical files are vulnerable to. Additionally, digital files are easily searchable and accessible, allowing employees to quickly locate and retrieve the information they 32 Shop In RI

need, boosting productivity and efficiency. Going paperless is also an environmentally friendly approach, as it substantially reduces paper consumption, aligning with sustainability goals, and potentially lowering operational costs associated with printing and paper procurement.

To facilitate the digitization of office paperwork, businesses need to invest in the appropriate hardware and software tools. Essential equipment includes high-quality scanners capable of efficiently digitizing existing paper documents. Additionally, implementing a document management system (DMS) or cloudbased storage solution is crucial for organizing, storing, and managing digital files securely. Optical character recognition (OCR) software can further enhance the utility of scanned documents by converting them into searchable and editable formats.

When selecting digital solutions for paperless office processes, it is essential to carefully evaluate options, based on the specific needs and requirements of the business. Organizations should assess factors such as the types and volume of documents handled, collaboration

requirements, and the need for remote access. Choosing between cloud-based or on-premise solutions depends on considerations like security, compliance, and accessibility needs. Scalability and seamless integration with existing software, such as accounting or customer relationship management (CRM) systems, are also important. Userfriendly interfaces and easy-to-use features can facilitate faster adoption and minimize disruptions to workflows.

Above all, having security measures, including encryption, access controls, and backup options, should be prioritized to safeguard sensitive data.

To ensure the successful implementation and long-term sustainability of paperless office processes, businesses should also adopt several best practices and tips. Regular backups of digital files and a comprehensive disaster recovery plan are essential to protect against data loss.

Implementing retention policies and schedules for document archiving or deletion, can help maintain an organized and clutter-free digital environment.

Leveraging automation technologies can streamline document classification and data extraction processes, further enhancing efficiency. Continuously reviewing and optimizing digital processes based on evolving needs and emerging technologies is also crucial. Finally, staying up-to-date with industry trends and adopting new solutions as they become available can help businesses stay ahead of the curve, and maximize the benefits of a paperless office.

Gosetti’s philosophy on what he does is quite simple. “What I do is not exciting; what I do is essential,” he explained.

His mission is protecting clients’ assets that have accumulated over a lifetime, so their heirs aren’t coping with a dual loss of income, and the loss of a loved one. Because the world is an uncertain place, there are often fears from his clients regarding what might happen next.

Strategies to Protect Your Goals From Consistent Inflation By: Edward Pontarelli Jr.

If you’re like most investors, you’ve noticed the impact of higher inflation in recent years – whether at the gas pump or the grocery store. American investors are experiencing the effects of prolonged inflation, 1 for the first time since the early 1980s. As a result, many are concerned about how inflation levels will impact their ability to reach their long-term financial goals. While it may not be possible to avoid the effects of inflation altogether, there are several strategies investors can utilize to mitigate the impact of inflation on their financial plan. Here are three investment considerations that may help address inflation concerns and better prepare your goals for long-term success.

1 – Keep your money invested When the inflation rate soared in 2022, stock and bond markets declined. Some investors responded by pulling money out of the market. This can be counterproductive, as investors too often miss much of a market’s recovery gain before they put their money back to work.

For example, the U.S. stock market (as measured by the Standard & Poor’s 500 stock index, an unmanaged index of stocks, often used as a benchmark of market performance, declined 25%, between January and October of 2022. But by the end of 2023, the S&P 500 regained nearly all of the ground lost in the bear market. It is normal for markets to go through ups and downs. Investors that stay the course and keep their money invested, commonly see their investments reestablish gains that were lost in a sudden downturn. While it may be tempting to remove yourself from the market during volatile periods, it could be helpful to stay invested at a level that reflects your risk tolerance.

2 – If time is on your side, take advantage of stocks Over time, stocks have historically outpaced inflation, an important consideration, as you try to build wealth to achieve your ultimate financial goals with more confidence. This doesn’t mean that year-in, year-out, stocks will keep you ahead of inflation. 2022 is a good example of a year when stocks declined, as inflation rose. But if you have time to let your money work for you, stocks have historically outpaced the rise in living costs. According to data collected since 1871, stocks have grown faster than inflation for holding periods of 20 years or more. Investors who can ride the highs and lows of mar38 Shop In RI

kets are often better suited to keep up, if not pass, the rate of inflation.

3 – For short-term money, seek higher yields You may have money set aside for short-term needs, such as your emergency fund or to cover upcoming expenses. In these times of elevated inflation, you’ll want to find ways to earn more competitive yields on your short-term savings. Search out options such as money market funds, CDs, short-term U.S. Treasury securities, and other savings vehicles that offer yields, and that may keep pace with inflation. Utilizing these tools may allow you to stay more liquid with your investments, while hedging against the impacts of inflation.

Whether an economic cycle brings conventional or elevated inflation, it should be considered as a factor in your long-term financial plan. A financial advisor can help develop a comprehensive strategy that addresses the inflation environment today and over the long term.

Why Work with a Financial Advisor?

Perspective from One 1

By: Carrie McPherson

One of the top questions I receive as a financial advisor is, “What exactly do you do and how can you help someone like me?” If you’ve ever wondered the same thing, you’re not alone. The answer I give when I meet new people is this: Financial advisors are committed to helping individuals and families set and reach their financial goals. Advisors provide value beyond investment strategies and financial advice; they are there to help clients feel more financially confident for the expected and unexpected moments of life. Here are some specific ways you can benefit from this professional relationship: Personalized advice. There’s no “one size fits all” financial plan. A financial advisor can help you evaluate your current circumstances to create a plan of action specific to your goals and concerns. You don’t have to achieve a certain level of wealth or have complex finances to enlist their services. Financial advisors are equipped to serve you, whether you are starting out in your career, in the middle of your working years, entering retirement or if you’re already retired.

Investment strategies, product recommendations and more. A financial advisor will suggest ways to move forward based on your short-, medium-,and long-term financial goals. Investment strategies will vary based on your time horizon—the years ahead of you in which you have to reach your goals. Your advisor may recommend a balance of stocks, bonds and other solutions aligned to your risk tolerance. You may be advised on ways to optimize your tax situation, which can include investing in accounts that offer tax advantages, such as a Roth or traditional IRA, Health Savings Account, or 529 plan. You can expect an advisor to review insurance coverage and other solutions to strengthen your financial safety net. Lastly, your financial plan may also include tips for saving and budgeting.

40 Shop In RI

Confidence in your financial decision making. A financial advisor can be a sounding board as you move through life and experience events that impact your bottom line.

You can ask your advisor for input on how a job change, large expenditure, or other financial commitment will affect your financial outlook. You can feel more secure about your charitable giving when it’s been incorporated into your overall plan. Together you can adjust your investment strategies to accommodate life circumstances. As a result, you will be able to make financial decisions knowing you have considered the larger picture.

Multi-generational support. A trusted financial advisor can be a resource for your entire family. Your goals may include caring for aging parents or putting kids through college. Your advisor can also educate you on a wealth of topics that impact your family’s financial wellbeing.

These may include estate planning, wealth transfer, wills, health care directives, powers of attorney, trusts and beneficiary assignments. It’s never too early to introduce your adult children to your advisor and encourage them to make use of financial planning services. Financial advisors understand the values that drive you and can help instill these as your family forms their relationship to money.

Collaboration. In addition to providing consultation to you, your advisor can work directly with a tax preparer and estate attorney as needed. By keeping your advisor in the loop on tax and estate matters, you can be assured of comprehensive professional support.

Ongoing advice for your changing circumstances. Life happens. Goals change. Markets fluctuate. In a constantly changing world, a lasting relationship with a financial advisor allows you to work in tandem with a partner you trust to navigate all that life will throw your way.

Main Street Home Loans:

From Main Street to Your Street

By Mark Berger

Springtime means different things for people.

For some, it signifies the end of winter and colder temperatures. For others, it becomes the dawn of an emerging season. Yet, a few gear themselves up for outdoor activities such as golf, baseball, softball, among others.

For real estate industry professionals, it means one thing: The housing market begins its frenzy for buying and selling.

When the snow clears way for warmer temperatures, those looking to participate will be out in force. While that market has seen some unprecedented peaks and valleys over the past several years, one constant has been the ability for buyers to know what they can afford.

Having a mortgage lender that can assess the situation and offer programs and options to make the process move quickly can make a big difference.

That is the trademark of Main Street Home Loans, with offices located on 51 Jefferson Boulevard, fifth floor, in Warwick, and on 500 East Washington Street in North Attleboro, MA. They specialize in getting potential buyers into the fray by developing plans for them to seek out the home they want.

Area Manager David Licciardi said the housing industry constantly changes, and with fluctuations, it helps to know how much buying power they have. He has seen numerous trends over his three-decades career in this industry.

What sets Main Street Home Loans apart from other companies is being able to connect customers with funding quicker, he said.

“We actually provide the money directly to the consumers,” Licciardi said. “We work alongside FHA, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to assist customers with the money they need to put an offer on the table. We have an onsite underwriting team that can expedite the process.

“Mortgages are the only thing we do, and we do them better than anyone,” he said.

42 Shop In RI

Dave said helping others provided the background for choosing his career path.

He studied Finance at The University of Rhode Island before working at several companies; doing everything from loan processing to re-structuring loan denials. For the latter, David would research other ways to enable the application to become approved. He would continue to thrive in such capabilities until he co-founded Main Street Home Loans over five years ago.

Since the Spring Housing Market will be in full swing, Licciardi believes there could be a drop in the interest rates at some point this year. He is unsure of how low the rates will fall or if the upcoming presidential election will influence them. However, the way people are impacted in other areas can make for an interesting decision, according to Licciardi.

“There are people out there hurting. They don’t have money for food, gas or other essentials because the price of everything has increased. In that case, they can look into the equity in their home. Their values have also increased during that same period. So, it may make sense for people to take money out of their home to either pay off high-interest credit cards, fix up their home or do something else,” he said.

Another point David makes is the competition this spring. The warm weather will encourage those who sat out during the winter to start looking. That will not only increase demand, but it will also start bidding wars that ultimately helps the seller.

Compounding the problem is the lack of new homes being built around here. He said if there

is available land to build something, then it would be sold rather fast. Unfortunately, as the price of materials and properties rise, it makes opportunities to put someone in a new home more difficult.

For anyone looking to begin the process, Licciardi said lenders usually want two years of W2’s (tax returns for the self employed), a month of paystubs and recent bank statements. Those are all needed to determine what people can afford and where they might be able to go house hunting.

David encourages anyone interested in getting started should talk with him and his staff.

“Some people think that if they either have no credit or bad credit they will be automatically disqualified. That isn’t always the case. Their credit score may be fixed in a month or two and put them on track, numbers-wise. We work with many individuals who may have less-than-stellar credit. Or, we can put them in programs that will repair their issues so they can get back on the

path to home buying,” Licciardi said.

Main Street Home Loans is an award-winning, multi-state residential mortgage lender currently licensed in 42 states. Main Street Home Loans focuses on assisting consumers in obtaining a residential loan that meets their needs while ensuring that they are receiving exemplary service throughout the process.

They are dedicated to streamlining the loan process in order to shorten the time from loan application to closing without sacrificing service, quality, or compliance. Their company operates on a platform of high standards, while always putting honesty, integrity, and ethics at the highest level of importance.

Rick Pimental Owner of Headframez

by L.A.Reilly In my opinion, Rick is one of the best drummers in RI in one of the most popular bands Crushed Velvet.

But this article is about his unique one-of-a-kind business called Headframez.

A display frame for autographed drum heads. Easy to install a signed drumhead into this rockin’ frame. Ideal for music rooms, recording studios, man caves, collection rooms, restaurants and home décor. He is globally known and has reached thousands of customers around the world.

LA: Your company “Headframez”, how did you come up with this idea and how long have you been doing this?

RP: My wife Tammy’s brother Norm ended up working for Sevendust and Slayer. We got to meet these stars. I ended up getting drumheads signed. Starting a collection with signed heads and being a drummer I had spare rims hanging around. I wanted to display my drum heads. At the time I was putting a nail in the wall and hanging it up. Since I had spare drum parts I took my hot glue gun and glued the head into the frame. I did some research and nobody had anything close to a frame… everything was shadow boxes with no hoop around the head. So I came up with the design after finding out that nobody had them. It took me a little while to come up with a design that worked. I got a registered trademark and started marketing them in 2016. I sold 8 heads in two months. Since then I sold 1,258. I advertise on my website and I sell on eBay and Etsy as well.

When my dad passed he left all kinds of tools for me that I could use to create them. I make the frames, ship them and send them instructions on how to install their drum heads. I’ve sold to a few celebrities and I sold to a lady in Florida who was doing a Devo exhibition. When I started there were 3000 listings on eBay for autograph drum heads

for sale but there are no frames. By me making the frames, they complete the look of the autographed drumhead and they are so easy to install. So many people asked for custom colors and I spray paint them. I sell them around the world.

I include cleaning cloths and all frames have my logo on them. There’s a collectors market for autographed drum heads. My sizes go from 6 inch to 18 inch in steel hoops, 14 inch to 26 inch and wooden hoops. My record sales were 34 in one month and I just do it this part time. If I went full production and listed them on Amazon I wouldn’t be able to keep up.

Shop In RI 49

LA: Do you have a favorite frame you ever did and what colors do you offer?

RP: One of my favorite bands growing up was Kiss. One client had a Kiss autographed drum head and it was a 24 inch that he wanted to have a silver sparkle. I do a lot of one-of-a-kind finishes. The finishes can be yellow, red, white, black and Chrome. Chrome and black are the most popular everything else is custom. I’ve done drum heads for raffles, birthday parties and wedding gifts. Everyone at the party will sign the drum head. If someone orders for a party, you’d get the head, the marker and the frame as a kit.

LA: How is the competition in this field? I don’t know anyone else who does this

LA: Tell me about the process you go through from someone contacting you for an order to completion.

RP: They order what size they need for whatever drum head they have. I list different sizes, different finishes including chrome, black, nickel, brass and custom. It takes me about 40 minutes to complete the frame. I have to grind nuts that go around the bolts, cut the bolts, filling and making the wires and applying the stickers. I ship it out the next day.

LA: Slayer was your first head frame. I didn’t even know it was a thing. How do you get them to sign the drum head?

RP: In most cases people know the bands or someone who knows the band or they have a backstage pass. I’ve noticed lately that at the merch booths, the bands are already signing drum heads to purchase. On eBay a lot of drummers sell their products including signed drum heads. Some of the heads I have are the actual drum heads used by the drummer. You just have to make sure they are legit when buying online.

50 Shop In RI

RP: I’m the only guy globally. I did the research before I started making them and they don’t exist other than shadow boxing. The first autographed drumhead wasn’t Slayer. It was a drummer from Journey. He was in Warren at a recording studio. The band I was in at the time, the recording studio asked my guitar player if he could borrow his amp for Steve Smith from Journey. He was there doing a solo project. We went into the studio and met Steve and I signed something on the drum booth wall that said “If you all have North Drums… go home” signed Richie Rich. Steve liked my quote that I put on the wall and he signed a drumhead for me that said “To Richie Rich”. That was my first drum head.

LA: Your studio is in your basement. I’ve seen your studio and it rocks! The ceiling is covered with album covers, your band “Crushed Velvet” practices there and you also have collections. Tell me about your collections.

RP: I have a massive guitar pick collection that I started in the 70s. I was front row for Kiss and I got a pocket full of picks that are worth about a $500 a piece. When I was younger I went to a lot of concerts. I’m a collector and I must have over 800 guitar picks in binders. My rarest guitar pick is Paul McCartney and Wings.

LA: Lastly when you’re not doing your full-time job with your painting company, building frames and playing gigs with “Crushed Velvet” what do you like to do for fun? What would be your favorite restaurant in RI? RP: For me playing drums is fun. I like to go to concerts too. I’d say Portside in Bristol is my favorite restaurant and also Jack’s in Warren.

As I finished the interview, yup, he sold another Frame!

Eagle Exteriors:

Three Generations of Building in RI

by Mark Berger

Springtime comes with the changing of the seasons and a plethora of home improvement projects. Homeowners awaken from their winter doldrums to realize they don’t like what they see.

Perhaps, they want to do a makeover, or change their furniture or appliances.

Maybe they see their roof or siding is weathered or in need of another type of help. Whatever the reason, there are many jobs that require the direction of an experienced contractor.

That becomes tricky because with so many contractors out there, it can be daunting to select one who is trustworthy, licensed, and will stand behind their work. Nobody wants to become the victim of someone who turns out to be much less than advertised.

Anyone who contacts Eagle Exteriors, located on 1270 High Street in Cumberland, will receive top notch services from people who pride themselves on providing on using the best materials, as well as having the ability to successfully communicate with their customers. Owner David Lacreta grew up in the industry and knew that becoming his own boss would become his calling.

He understands the reputation contractors as a whole have, resulting from some taking advantage of customers. That is not the way he conducts business, and on the contrary, ensures that each project has the direct involvement of the homeowner to monitor its progress.

“We work to be as organized for every 54 Shop In RI

project, so that we meet our deadlines and exceed our clients’ expectations,” Lacreta said. “There are some companies that will use inferior materials, not have enough people working on-site, or have some other issues. What’s worse are stories of contractors either showing up to work sites late, or not at all, on the first day.

“We aren’t that way; we have technology to show options, so the client can see for themselves what their project will look like after it’s finished. That is one way we set ourselves apart from other companies,” Lacreta said.

Eagle Exteriors opened in 2012.

The company came as a result of their initial endeavor, Eagle Home Improvement, for the first few years. Lacreta saw the need for more outside work, and left to focus on handling that area of the business.

They primarily deal with residential homes throughout Rhode Island and Southeastern Massachusetts.

While Lacreta and his 15-member

crew can handle many outdoor projects, they are especially adept at replacing roofs and siding. These jobs can take a day (for roofs) to a week (for siding), depending on what’s involved.

They are currently taking on waterfront projects, such as in East Greenwich, Narragansett and the Cape. They also have ongoing projects in Foxboro and Wrentham.

Lacreta said that while jobs fall typically in that range, the craftsmanship can be a determining factor in whether they are built to last.

“If the contractor or his crew don’t know what they are doing, then they are going to cause problems.

If they install the client’s roof the wrong way, for example, it could lead to leakage. Faulty installation and materials used for siding won’t withstand the elements as well as quality stuff.

“The bottom line is the customer will end up double paying for the same job because they need to fix

the issues brought on by the first contractor,” Lacreta said.

will be situated in Booth #521, and are planning a surprise, as to how people will see their services for themselves.

Before that ever becomes an issue, Lacreta sits with each customer to figure out the scope, needs, time frame, and budget. One of the ways he achieves this is using a 3-D picture to give the customer a better sense of what the project entails, and how it will look upon completion. They can build it out beforehand before the project begins, so customers can have their questions answered, and adjust the project, as necessary.

Another surprise is what awaits a certain visitor who stops by their booth.

The firm is a certified Master Craftsman Installer. Lacreta and his staff took several courses and programs, and passed the exam to hold that distinction.

“The first person who stops by our booth and mentions the phrase, ‘Striped Bass,’ because Eagles like to eat fish, will receive a special gift! It’s our way of saying thank you for coming to see us. We will have other information and giveaways throughout the event. “Take a moment to see what we could do to make your home or business get a fresh, new look,” Lacreta suggested.

They offer financing for their projects, as well 25+ years experience in the field.

Eagle Exteriors is getting more work within commercial properties, such as low-income housing and a project for the City of Warwick.

They recently inked a three-year deal to complete a 80-unit complex in Bristol.

Rhode Island Civic Chorale & Orchestra Presents Grand Production of Mendelssohn’s Elijah

By Mark Berger The Rhode Island Civic Chorale & Orchestra (RICCO) proudly announces its upcoming performance of Felix Mendelssohn’s Elijah on April 6-7. Featuring 200 singers and a 60-piece orchestra, this monumental event promises a captivating rendition of the timeless oratorio. Mendelssohn’s Elijah, renowned for its powerful drama and themes of perseverance, will be performed at the Cathedral of the Saints Peter and Paul Church in Providence and the First Baptist Church in Worcester.

For Dr. Joshua W. Rohde, Music Director & Conductor, RICCO’s mission as a Civic Chorale is meaningful.

“I believe such music and repertoire should be for everyone. Music is about expressing oneself, about life, about things that are exciting - and choirs, in general, bring communities together.”

Rohde’s dedication to inclusivity is evident in RICCO’s collaborative and welcoming approach to music-making.

58 Shop In RI

For Elijah, RICCO will be joined by singers and instrumentalists from Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) where Rohde is Director of Choral Activities, as well as professional soloists and orchestra.

“Mendelssohn’s Elijah combines sacred themes with intricate musical compositions. An oratorio is a sacred opera. It’s massive, massive in scope. RICCO’s performance of Elijah in English, as originally premiered, aims to connect audiences directly with the music’s profound themes and emotions.”

“There will be moments when we rattle the rafters, and moments where you can hear a pin drop. I can’t tell you how excited we are to put nearly 300 performers on stage,” Rohde said.

Tickets for Mendelssohn’s Elijah are priced at $30 for general admission, $25 for seniors, and $10 for students with proper ID. With the support of local businesses and grants, RICCO continues its mission of enriching local New England communities through music.

For more information and to purchase tickets, visit the

Don’t miss this opportunity to experience Mendelssohn’s Elijah brought to life by the talented performers of RICCO and WPI. Join us for an unforgettable musical journey filled with passion, drama, and inspiration.

About RICCO:

Since its beginning in 1957, the Rhode Island Civic Chorale & Orchestra (RICCO) has been a community organization of people from all walks of life, united in their love of choral music. The membership of the Chorale includes residents of Rhode Island and nearby Massachusetts. The Directors of this nonprofit organization are dedicated volunteers who give their time, energy, and financial resources in recognition of the valuable cultural contribution that the Chorale makes to the community.

Dr. Joshua W. Rohde has been RICCO’s music director since the 2019, and has grown the singer membership so that there are currently over 100 singers. Dr. Rohde is the Director of Choral Activities at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI), where he conducts all four of the university’s choral ensembles – Alden Voices, Glee Club, Festival Chorus, and the Chamber Choir.

About WPI:

Founded in 1865, WPI was one of the United States’ first engineering and technology universities and now has 14 academic departments with over 50 undergraduate and graduate degree programs. Music is a significant part of WPI, embedded into the curriculum through the university’s Humanities & Arts Requirement and is a vibrant part of the campus. Offerings range in scope from courses in theory, history, and technology to over 18 faculty-led performing ensembles, such as Orchestra, Concert Band, Stage Band, Festival Chorus, and African Drumming. Further student organizations include Pep Band and five a cappella groups. Our musical groups perform regularly throughout the academic year, both on campus and on tours abroad.

About the RICCO-WPI Collaboration: Both the Rhode Island Civic Chorale & Orchestra and Worcester Polytechnic Institute believe that music is one of the most powerful means available for personal and collective expression. RICCO and WPI use music as a vehicle to create inclusive communities that proclaim messages essential to our human nature. This is seen through the diversity of individuals on the stage: With more than 70 years range in ages, they come from different states and communities, and hold divergent musical expertise as students, amateurs, and professionals.

Together they share a message of perseverance and hope amidst despair. As with Elijah, they share the knowledge that despite how bleak it sometimes may seem, none walks this life alone.

My name is Tom Lopatosky. I’m the President of LOPCO Contracting (www.

LopcoContracting.com) & I’m honored to have the opportunity to talk to you about home improvement on a monthly basis. I love answering your questions! Please send them to tom@ LopcoContracting.com or call 401-270-2664. Thanks in advance for taking the time to read this column!

How I Prevent Mold on Bathroom Ceilings The list of items that I have found of ‘things that get people concerned around the home,’ reads almost like a frightful scroll of ‘heart-dropping-into-stomach’ moments…

The discovery of peeling paint The discovery of an annoying leak, which subsequently cannot seem to be properly sourced The discovery of a broken pane of glass on a window, or a window that will not properly open/close/lock I can go on and on.

One of the items highest on the list is the discovery of some type of mold.

While certainly there can be ‘one-offs,’ like a random patch of mold that is simply related to a recent leak, and there are definitely grave causes of concern, such as the spread of a deep case of toxic black mold, which goes unnoticed in someone’s basement for years, perhaps, one of the more frustrating examples of mold is that it’s found on someone’s bathroom ceiling, and no matter what they do, they simply cannot seem to get rid of it.

Fortunately, I have worked through countless examples of this specific type of situation and have been able to come up with a process to help even the most discouraged of homeowners. work through this type of scenario.

There are a number of tactics I would initially steer folks toward in eliminating the mold; here is my checklist: Make sure there is a bathroom ceiling fan (especially in bathrooms with a shower/bathtub).

Ensure the ceiling fan is functioning properly (toilet paper test).

Make sure the ceiling fan is correctly vented to the outside of the house (preferably through the roof if possible).

Clean all of the existing mold (prior to doing so, if there is a concern that the mold is of the harmful variety, have the mold tested by a professional testing company and then have the mold cleaned by a professional remediation company).

Ensure the surface is well prepped.

Apply a mold killing primer to the entire ceiling.

Properly apply a mold resistant finish coat.

Adhering to these steps should get you where you need to be, in terms of once and for all, stopping the mold challenge with the bathroom ceiling.

If for some reason this develops into one of those extremely rare instances where the mold returns, a more drastic approach would be recommended, as there may somehow be mold trapped deeper into the building material of the ceiling, and at that point, it would be recommended to take down and dispose of the existing ceiling, hang a new ceiling (I prefer blueboard and plaster), and repeat the painting process recommended above.

Though there are many types of things occurring around the home that can be very disheartening, having mold return on a bathroom ceiling, after seemingly countless attempts to eliminate it, can be near the top of the list of irritating dilemmas.

As maddening as these types of things may be, there is a path to work through things – as there almost always is – just be sure that your approach is methodical and in-line with what is recommended, and you can be confident that this will be one more thing that can be crossed off the ‘things that bother me about my house’ list.

itself was a showcase of over 200 museumquality automobiles, painstakingly collected from every corner of the globe, including several prized vehicles from the Newport Car Museum’s esteemed collection. The grandeur and prestige of the event were unmistakable, reflected in the elevated sale prices, with select cars commanding bids of upwards of half a million dollars.

In this latest endeavor, a key objective for the organizers was to broaden the auction’s appeal by offering a more accessible array of vehicles, with many anticipated to sell for $20,000 and under. For those with an eye for an exceptional, premium vehicle, the auction promises plenty of marvels, among which is the highly coveted 2024 “Panther Edition” Camaro, an exclusive marvel of engineering and design, limited to just 350 units worldwide. Additionally, an original 2007 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500, with an astonishingly low odometer reading of under 100 miles, stands as a testament to the diversity and exclusivity of the vehicles on offer. This diversity mirrors the personal taste and extensive experience of Spellman Signature Auctions’ founder, Larry Spellman, a venerable car collector whose own collection boasts an impressive array of vehicles numbering well into the double digits. Ensuring the auction resonates with car collectors and enthusiasts alike was paramount for Larry, who has played a pivotal role in preserving our shared automotive heritage through his meticulously curated events, spanning from Florida to New England. This dedication has cemented Spellman Signature Auctions as a recurring topic of enthusiastic discussion within the New England classic car scene.

Moreover, collectors have a unique opportunity to take pride in their acquisitions, as proceeds from event fees will bolster the efforts of JMAC’s community-focused non-profit neighbors, Shri Yoga and the Segue Institute for Learning.

The Segue Institute for Learning is dedicated to empowering students to achieve academic excellence, equipping them for the challenges of high school and beyond. Shri Yoga’s Nonprofit, through its funding, supports free yoga outreach and wellness programs targeted at special needs and underserved populations, employing highly skilled teachers who employ a joyful, rhythmbased curriculum. This curriculum is designed to mitigate toxic stress and amplify physical, social, and emotional well-being through the adoption of shared and safe methods firmly rooted in the rich traditions of yogic philosophy and evidencebased practices.

The eagerly anticipated auction preview is scheduled to take place on Friday, April 26th, from 5-9 pm, with the auction itself commencing at 9 am on Saturday, April 27th, exclusively at JMAC, located at 371 Pine St., Pawtucket, Rhode Island. Those interested in either consigning or bidding are encouraged to visit Spellman Signature Auctions online at www.bidssa.com, where they can find more information on how to participate in this remarkable event. This auction not only represents a gathering of extraordinary automobiles but also serves as a celebration of the enduring spirit of exploration and innovation that defines our shared automotive history.
