Extremely Rare: Maine Swimmer Killed in Shark Attack In what an expert says is a tragic first in Maine, a swimmer was killed in a shark attack late July. The woman was swimming off Bailey Island in Harpswell when she was attacked; two kayakers brought her and another woman who was swimming with her to shore. The victim died on scene; the other woman was not injured. “Shark interactions with humans are very rare in Maine,” the expert said. “My guess is that the person was mistaken as a food item. He says more great white sharks are migrating north to Maine from Cape Cod as the hunt for food around the cape gets more competitive. A seal was attacked by a shark nearby and the 19-inch bite mark left on the animal could only have been made by a shark at least 11 feet long, the expert said. It may have been the same shark that attacked the swimmer the following day. Maine Marine Patrol is urging swimmers to use caution in the area, and to avoid swimming near schools of fish. 12 More Months at Home for Google Employees

undiscovered phenomenon inside a 425-foot-deep ”blue hole” off the Florida coast. Little is known about such holes, which are similar to sink holes on land and are ”scattered across Florida’s Gulf continental shelf ” but very difficult to access, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. What is known is that they’re incredibly diverse biologically, containing species from corals to sharks. A 2019 search of a 350-foot-deep blue hole known as ”Amberjack Hole,” some 30 miles off Sarasota, found an ”oasis in an otherwise barren seafloor,” including two dead smalltooth sawfish, an endangered species, the NOAA says.

COFFEE-RUBBED BEEF RIBS

Notes from the Cooker, Traveler, Master Gardener and Serious Sipper of Creative Cocktails

by Al Milukas

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.

Ingredients: 3 tablespoons Brown Sugar

I'm usually a pork rib guy. But recently, I bought a nice slab of beef ribs from my butcher. I love the flavor of the Kona coffee crusted NY Strip at the Capital Grille in Providence, and decided to try my hand at my own coffee rub for these ribs.

In a bowl, combine the brown sugar, coffee, salt, garlic, onion, and cocoa. Mix well.

Remove the skin on the underside of the ribs. I do this by sliding a knife under a corner of the skin, exposing just enough of a tab that I can grab onto. The meat can be slippery, so pulling the skin off with a folded piece of paper towel in your hands gives a better grip. Cut the ribs into 2-rib portions. Place all the rib pieces on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil. Generously rub the coffee rub into all sides of the rib pieces, turning them meat-side-up, and let them sit on the baking sheet at room temperature for about a half hour, while you warm the oven up to 350 degrees. Place the sheet pan of ribs in the oven and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the ribs from the oven, and lower the heat to 250. Wrap the ribs in aluminum foil, 2 sections per packet, and place them back on the baking sheet. Place the baking sheet back in the oven and cook them for 4 more hours. Remove the ribs from the oven and take them out of the foil, placing them back on the baking sheet and back into the 250-degree oven for 30 more minutes.

KABOB AND CURRY A Rhode Island Staple for Over 30 Years

By Rosanna Ortiz | Photos: Myke Yeager Photography

There are a multitude of good reasons that Kabob and Curry is Rhode Island’s longest serving Indian restaurant! Perfectly located in the middle of the hustle and bustle of Thayer street, they proudly boast traditional Indian cuisine that is consistently satisfying. Owners, Sanjiv and Vandana Dhar spoke with us about how this iconic restaurant came to be and what can be expected for the future of Kabob and Curry. Kabob and Curry is the eldest of your 4 restaurants. Tell us about when you first opened this iconic restaurant and why you chose the location. This is our first location! Vandana and I took over Kabob and Curry in August of 1990. We saw immense potential in the restaurant, especially due to its great location near universities such as Brown

and RISD. We began as partners and eventually, took over the entire place. This location was the beginning of many things for us in Rhode Island. What type of Indian cuisine does Kabob & and Curry offer? Do you cater to more traditional dishes or do you experiment with fusion dishes as well? Kabob and Curry’s dishes are mostly of the traditional variety. We do offer a few fusion-related items, but I would say that our popular offerings are considered to be Indian comfort staple foods. For example, most of regular customers consistently order our Chicken Tikka Masala, Naan and Samosas. That being said, we are continuously evolving and educating ourselves on trends in the industry, so if we want to try something new, we definitely will!

The reputation of Kabob & Curry is tremendous. How does it feel to be servicing Providence for over 30 years? It feels great! To be quite honest, the restaurant industry itself, is cutthroat, and we went through our fair share of struggles to even get to where we are today. Prior to our re-imagination of Kabob and Curry, most individuals living in Providence hadn’t even tried authentic Indian food, so a lot of our efforts went behind being present in the restaurant every single day. We felt and still feel that our customers should be better educated about Indian food, feel it’s accessible and leave our restaurant feeling enlightened. Our mission has never changed. What are some best sellers and what are some of your personal favorites? Chicken Tikka Masala is our bestselling dish! People love it! This is due to the fact that the recipe hasn’t changed in thirty years. Many appreciate the consistency in flavors. Saag Paneer is also a crowd favorite, as the dish is vegetarian-friendly and includes a substantial amount of greens. Our freshly baked Naan Breads are also quite popular. Vandana’s favorite dish is the Lamb Barra Kabob and mine would be the Yellow Daal (Lentils). After 30 years of being a constant in Providence, Kabob and Curry is shifting a bit. Tell us about what we can expect? We are going through a strategic shift with our menu. We’ll still continue to serve our classic dishes, and are expanding our menu to appeal to a larger audience. Being vegan is a huge trend these days due to obvious health benefits, so we’ve begun to include more vegan items. We’ve also pivoted our focus to food that’s ”grab and go.” We want to provide quick and delicious food that is readily available for those ”on the go.” A large part of our customer base consists of college students and this sort of food most definitely appeals to them!

So, you can’t go to the gym and don’t know what to do at home. Maybe you do have a solid routine, but you’re looking for something a little different. Either way, there’s always room to learn more! Investing in a kettlebell, a set of dumbbells, or resistance bands at a challenging weight to start with is most likely worth the investment. You do not have to buy every single piece of equipment out there, keep it simple. If that doesn’t work then there are plenty of household items you can use. Using your own body weight is also just as effective, as long as you’re executing the exercises with proper form. Form is always important, so if you’re unsure about a specific exercise, look it up. Improper form can lead to injury and deems it very ineffective. If you value your time, then be sure to plan your workout in advance, which includes knowing the proper way to execute each exercise. I will include a strength training routine at the end of this article. You can use this however you like. You can add these to your existing workouts or you can follow it straight through. Ideally, you should be doing some form of strength training at least 3x weekly. It can be mixed with cardio, done alone, or part a HIIT routine. 46 ShopInRI

The Bridge at Cherry Hill Keeps Residents, Community Healthy By Mark Berger

Senior citizens have been at particular risk

during the ongoing pandemic They may have compromised immune systems or be susceptible to the elements, outdoors or coming into contact with people who might be infected with the Covid-19 virus. Extra protection is needed in these areas to reduce the number of cases from increasing. At The Bridge at Cherry Hill, located at 1 Cherry Hill Road in Johnston, they ensured their residents and staff stayed healthy and free of the coronavirus. “On March 13th, we immediately went to ‘Level 3,’ which was not allowing any visitation in the community,” said Maryann Grace, Executive Director at The Bridge. “Residents were confined to their apartments and having their meals delivered to them. We also cancelled all activities. Our goal was to keep our residents safe and healthy.” Grace said The Bridge followed and continues to follow the CDC guidelines. That process included disinfecting the entire building immediately, including doorknobs, elevator pads, etc., during every shift. They scheduled times for families to drop items off, which were wiped down with disinfectant and held for 24 hours before being delivered to their apartments. This also went for their mail, she said. Grace said the work done by the staff yielded the desired results. “The staff helped out tremendously,” she said. “They followed the rules. Our employees came to work and went home. Because of this, we are COVID-19 free.” Grace noted staff members had their temperatures taken before and after each shift, they are required to wear face masks and hand-washing seminars were held. She added the fortunes of having supportive families during this period. “We recently started communal dining for lunch and dinner with staggered 34 Shop In RI

dining times,” Grace said. “Measures have been taken to keep social distancing and limiting the number of residents in the dining room. Temps are taken and hand sanitizer is available at the entrance of the dining room. We have also initiated visitation on a limited basis.” According to Sales Manager Jen Burns, several ways The Bridge has kept morale up for both the staff and residents by holding a staff appreciation day, the local police and fire departments, in conjunction with some of area local businesses, held a “parade” through their parking lot and local businesses decorated their cars. The pandemic led to other challenges as well. “Due to the virus, we were no longer allowing the hairdressers into the building. So, I stepped in and took on the task,” said Burns. “Most of my female residents had been getting their hair done weekly over the past 50-plus years. It was something for them to look forward to.” The Bridge at Cherry Hill typically hosts the governor’s Centenarian Breakfast every year. Unfortunately, it had to be cancelled this year due to ongoing events. Burns said they were additionally excited to host this year because it was the first time they had six of their own centennials. Instead, The Bridge decided to have a special lunch just for them to celebrate their milestone birthdays. They also had three staff members that were high school graduating seniors. We had a “senior” parade for them, the residents were asked what their advice would be to these girls. The held up signs with their advice as the graduates “marched” into the dining room. The residents also decorated the graduates “caps” and were presented them with The Bridge at Cherry Hill diplomas. To combat isolation and to keep our residents occupied and engaged as much as possible, Burns said new Activity Director Heather Northrup would make frequent visits to residents apartments in addition to making “activity packets” for them.

“Through this pandemic we have tried to maintain our high level of excellence and hospitality. It is a team effort,” said Burns. Studies have shown that “senior living” communities, such as The Bridge are among the safest places to be for the aging population. In addition to providing 24/7 medical staff, living in communities such as The Bridge can help combat the isolation and depression that many of our seniors are experiencing living at home alone. It can also help alleviate the stress and anxiety of their family members. The Bridge is a full service, all-inclusive assisted living community. The Bridge at Cherry Hill is accepting new residents, but they changed how they showcase themselves. In order to reduce any possible exposure, on-site tours of the building are kept to a very bare minimum. Instead, the creation of a “virtual tour” that can be sent to anyone that inquires about living here. We try to do as much “virtually” with maintaining our personal touch and relationship building, she noted. They need to meet and follow certain protocols, such as: new incoming residents need to have two negative COVID-19 tests before admission. Once they move in, they do have to stay in their apartment for 14 days but staff members ensure residents have plenty of interaction with the staff. “The transition to Assisted Living can be difficult in normal circumstances so we do our best to make it as easy as possible for all involved,” said Burns. For more information about The Bridge at Cherry Hill, please contact Jen Burns at: 401-233-2880 ext. 11 or email her at: jjburns@centurypa.com.

Apple Cider Vinegar What are the True Benefits? By Susan Gazerro Painful joints? High cholesterol? Weight gain? Since the dawn of time, apple cider vinegar has been part of helping people to maintain healthier lives. Apple cider vinegar is rich in pectin, which helps maintain healthy cholesterol levels and also helps fight against harmful prostaglandins, which cause pain. This natural wonder also helps with weight control and has the ability to fight joint pain. I was not initially sold on the latest apple cider vinegar health craze. First, I had to do my research and then I had to try it. I started with a daily shot of apple cider vinegar. Truth is, I did feel better. They say there are many benefits, but the number one benefit I felt was my joints were not as achy. My knees, of which I was told by two surgeons I needed surgery, were feeling so much better. I didn’t love the taste of the vinegar, so I searched for another source and found apple cider vinegar gummies. They are both delicious and all natural. Following are some of the benefits and results you can anticipate by adding apple cider vinegar to your diet. SUPPORTS GUT HEALTH FOR HEALTHY DIGESTION Pectin is recognized as an important prebiotic and a fiber that helps support healthy flourishing of the gut flora; ultimately providing a beneficial environment in the gut. SUPPORTS SKIN HEALTH Vitamin B12 deficiency is prevalent among people in many countries, including the US: a deficiency in B12 has been shown to lead to changes in skin appearance.

important support for your immune system by enhancing the good gut bacteria. Pectin helps support healthy gut bacteria growth and helps support a healthy immune system. HELPS REDUCE APPETITE Apple cider vinegar contains natural acids and enzymes that may help to reduce appetite and increase the feeling of fullness. SUPPORTS HEART HEALTH Apple cider vinegar can support a healthy cardiovascular system; it may help to maintain good cholesterol levels already in a healthy range. The added vitamins, B9 and B12, help keep blood cells healthy and support cardiovascular health.

SUPPORTS WEIGHT MANAGEMENT Scientific studies have shown that those who consume apple cider vinegar had better weight management compared to those who did not. Combining apple cider vinegar with a well-balanced diet can help to support healthy weight management.

IMPROVES ENERGY Amino acids in apple cider vinegar, as well as potassium and enzymes, may help to relieve fatigue, especially when exercising. In addition, apple cider vinegar can contribute to the regulation of the body’s energy. Vitamin B12 is used in many essential processes in the body, including energy production. The added vitamin B12 helps improve energy production and can reduce the feeling of fatigue in those who are deficient.

Your Mother Was Right!

By Christine Gonsalves

Hi folks; I hope this article finds you prosperous and in good health, but mostly in good health! Now, before we get down to the business of making you even more beautiful than you already are, I would like to announce that... Chrissy’s Hair Salon is looking for a talented hairstylist with some following. So, if you are that person, make an appointment and let’s talk; you’ll love working at Chrissy’s! Okay; are you ready for this month’s column? “Hair” we go!!!!!!!!! Flawless skin, shiny hair, stronger nails – who doesn’t want these things, right? Well, would you believe me if I told you that the key to a blemish and wrinkle-free complexion, a full head of longer, thicker, healthier hair, in addition to nails of steel, are no further than your kitchen; and it all starts with a good breakfast! So, mom was actually right on this one. Breakfast really is the most crucial meal of the day. Studies show that eating within an hour of awakening fuels both the body and the brain, boosting overall energy, keeping us alert and awake, and helping to maintain a healthy metabolism. So, whether you’re the girl or guy struggling to not fall asleep at their desk at 10 am, or the one camping out by the coffee and cookies in the late afternoon for an energy boost, the solution to all of your diet woes and lack of energy may be as simple as eating a good breakfast. And, if you continue by making good choices for lunch and dinner, you will be doing your hair, nails and complexion a huge favor.

Breakfast choice:

Not sure what to eat in the morning? The best breakfast to maximize energy, while keeping you full and satisfied should include a combination of protein and carbohydrates. Try a whole grain cereal with more than five grams of fiber per serving, mixed with low fat Greek yogurt. The whole grain carbohydrates provide energy for immediate use, while the protein in the yogurt will keep you feeling full all morning long. Or, if dairy isn’t your thing, or breakfast at home just doesn’t seem feasible, two pieces of whole wheat toast with almond butter is a great option – and easy to eat, even at your desk. Still looking for something simpler? Almost any work cafeteria or coffee shop will have a selection of fresh fruit, which is a great addition to your morning routine for added vitamins, antioxidants, and a hint of sweetness! Try an apple with almond butter or an on-the-go cereal bar made with whole grain, or even a granola bar. No matter what you choose, starting the day with a good breakfast is essential for both mental and physical health; so find what works for you and stick with it! Keep Hydrated- Aim to drink 48 ounces of water everyday. Water is fantastic for your hair, complexion, etc. Some people complain that drinking a lot of water disrupts their day by constantly sending them to the restroom. But, it’s a small price to pay considering how vital water is to our health, beauty and metabolism.

almonds, dried cranberries or cherries (naturally dried, non-sulfured), and a drizzle of honey to top it off ! If you start doing all or most of the aforementioned things, you will be amazed at how fantastic your hair, nails and complexion will start to look, and all in just about three weeks. OOooops, as usual, I’m almost out of room, so I hope you stay healthy and prosperous, but mostly healthy, and I’ll see you next month, and remember, “If your hair is not becoming to you, then maybe you should be coming to us” where Classy meets Sassy! -Chrissy Check out our web site at

www.chrissyshairsalon.com CHRISSY AND HER STAFF ARE MASTER HAIR COLORISTS! THEY HAVE EARNED DEGREES AND SPECIAL AWARDS FOR EXCELLENCE IN HAIR COLOR AND DESIGN FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD. “To schedule an appointment with Chrissy or any of her wonderful staff,” CALL Chrissy’s Hair Salon (401) 726-7075 1330 MINERAL SPRING AVE. NORTH PROVIDENCE, RI.

Here’s a tip; how about cutting your fruits and veggies at home and storing them in plastic baggies as preportioned snacks, so you can just grab one or two bags while you’re running out the door? Pack a lunch. Spending just 10 minutes at night to pack a nutritious lunch will ensure that you eat healthy the following day. Plus, it will also save you on spending a ridiculous amount of money on unhealthy restaurant food. Bring snacks with you!

A: It is true - the healthier you are, the easier it is to qualify for a long-term care (LTC) insurance policy. LTC insurance is becoming much harder to qualify for mainly because of the risk it puts on the insurance company with regard to paying claims. More and more companies are paying out larger claims. As a result, insurance companies are becoming more selective in the underwriting process. Some companies offer a version of long-term care insurance with simplified underwriting. This type of insurance provides a limited amount of benefits but qualifying for the coverage is easier. This allows more people to qualify for this important need and allows the companies to limit their potential exposure. Q: I am 66 and planning to retire this month. I don’t want to begin collecting my Social Security until I’m 67. Can I still get Medicare? A: These two areas of retirement are often confused with each other. The quick answer is yes, you can get your Medicare benefits without having to take your Social Security benefits. Medicare is available for people age 65 and older and people younger than 65 with certain disabilities, but you can postpone picking it up until later in life as long as you have creditable coverage. In this case, because you are leaving your employer plan, you will be eligible for Medicare at the end of the month. On the other hand, Social Security is available for people age 62 and older, but you can postpone collecting it until later depending on your needs. Therefore, you can keep these two important retirement considerations separated—they do not go hand in hand Feel free to send me your questions or contact me at:

Now May Be The Time For A Financial Reassessment We’re experiencing a period of upheaval in the world today, which has also had an impact on the economy and markets. Given the spike in volatility and uncertainty we’re seeing in the broader economy, it may be time to step back and carefully review your financial life. Take some time to assess where you stand and whether it may be appropriate to make any adjustments in your strategy. Here are four key questions to ask about your current financial circumstances.

these to protect the wellbeing of your family. Look at other protection options too, such as disability income insurance and long-term care coverage to meet specialized care needs, especially as you grow older.

#1 – Do you have enough cash to meet shortterm needs?

#4 – Is your financial plan still on track?

A healthy cash reserve is important in times like these. A general rule of thumb is to have enough cash on hand (held in readily accessible accounts) to meet three to six months’ worth of expenses. But given today’s economic uncertainties, it may make sense to set aside up to nine months’ worth of cash.

Finally, take a careful look at your overall financial plan. Are you still on track to achieve the key goals you initially established? Does your plan require adjustments based on circumstances that have changed? Given all of the events of recent months, this is the right time to review your plan to make sure you are still heading in the right direction.

#2 – Are you comfortable with the level of risk in your portfolio? Investment markets have been volatile since the start of 2020 and may continue to be for the coming months and maybe years. Unsettled markets can be a real test of whether you are comfortable with your investment strategy or if the level of risk in your portfolio is keeping you up at night. Given the disruption that’s been occurring, a portfolio review makes sense.

#3 – Do you have a solid protection strategy in place? This is an opportune time to make sure that you and your family are adequately insured. Health insurance is a good place to start, particularly if your work situation has changed in recent months. The importance of adequate life insurance is more evident in times like 54 Shop In RI

Ask An Expert What Causes Wood to Rot?

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 401-2702664. Thanks in advance for taking the time to read this column! One of the items that pops up in conversation when having a discussion with someone about painting the exterior of their home, is rotted wood. Obviously, rotted wood is not something that you want to paint over; it is something that should be addressed in one way, shape or form. Perhaps the situation is one where the rotted portions can be carved out and then some type of epoxy system can be put in place, shaped, then prepped and painted. The situation may also call for an actual replacement of the piece of wood that is rotted. As these possible solutions are being worked through, part of our conversation may center around what causes wood to rot in the first place? This is an excellent question. Wood rot itself is a form of decay. What sets off the decay is prolonged moisture exposure combined with fungi (microscopic organisms). In order for the fungi to get comfortable and start rotting things away, the wood must be continuously damp. Fungi will not grow on wood that is dry, it just won’t happen. There are countless types of fungi that exist all around us; there is no way to really get away from them. My experience has been that wood often rots from the inside out. In other words, you could have a piece of wood trim that appears perfectly solid one day, and then a few months later, the wood seems to have rotted to the core. The reality of the situation is that this did NOT happen overnight; instead the wood had gradually been rotting from the backside toward the front, until one day it finally broke through the front side of the wood and veered its not so pleasant face. So, how does this type of thing happen where the wood gets wet without someone even noticing? Actually, fairly easily… Water does not need that much space to begin gradually creeping in and starting to hang around for a while. As one example, when water is able to get through the inside crevices of wood trim, it is usually able to nest in an area that will not allow it to easily dry out, hence the reason these dark areas can become an attractive place for fungi to come on board and start doing their thing. Preventing this from occurring amounts to checking around the exterior of your home once or twice per year (I recommend once in the spring & once in the fall) to see if you can spot any signs of rot or any places where rot may be able to begin to stem from.

Simple preventative measures fighting the possibility of rot taking place can go a LONG way, such as:

• • • •

• • •

Making sure that the joints in your trim are properly caulked Making sure there are no visible holes in your trim where water can rest Making sure your gutter & downspout systems are properly functioning Making sure to limit the amount of time wood trim sits in snow in the winter or piles of leaves in the fall Making sure that flashing is properly in place, where necessary Making sure that the grading of your yard is such that it steers water away from the home Making sure vegetation around the home does not rest directly on the home

In short, the more you are able to ensure the exterior of your home stays as dry as possible, and any prospective areas of water creeping inside are eliminated, the longer the wood will be kept safe from having to be replaced. Keep in mind that ignoring or not addressing wood moisture and/or its cause, will likely set you up for even larger repairs if problems are not caught and corrected as soon as possible.

James H. Draper What started as an influence of music, James Draper has been creating works of art for over three decades. Draper, 67, says that his creativity manifested itself through screen printing after hearing The Ramones in 1976. Known then as The Razor’s Edge, he printed punk rock t-shirts and then goth shirts well into the 80’s. From the early 90’s into the 2000’s, he went on to screen print posters for all the major rock acts at the time. In the last 25 years, he has created posters for U2, Siouxsie, Bauhaus, Killing Joke, Sex Pistols, Marilyn Manson, 311, Sonic Youth, Iggy Pop, Johnny Cash, TOOL, Sheryl Crow, Tori Amos, Patti Smith, Coldplay, Nick Cave, The Cure, Violent Femmes, and so many more. Many of his posters from the 90’s are still available for purchase. “I became what is known as an ”Art” photographer in 2004. I am not a commercial photographer, I am not trying to sell you a product, I am expressing a vision of reality through my photography. Here, in photography, I have no constraints placed on my creativity, my mind, my eye and have complete artistic control” said Draper. He went on to elaborate: “My photographs are designed to evoke, pull you in, allow your reading of the photograph to cradle you in your personal meaning, but all of my best work is about something else. What you see at first is only the surface of what I want you to see; the complexity of life and the meaning we place on it.”

”Every one of my photographs should make you stop, turn and face it, and quietly rest for a moment…My openness to the visual is rooted in myopia. I am extremely nearsighted so throughout my life I tended to examine everything up close and in great detail. Again, the concern with first impressions and then the layers of meaning contained within and the ability to extrapolate out from there. I can, and do shoot film, though I no longer develop and print my photographs. I shoot digitally, now. Nothing fancy. I can express my vision with just a decent camera and my eye and education.” Coming from a very strong Liberal Arts background, he branched out into other areas of interest. Though his degree is in Biology, he has minors in Visionary Film, and Women’s Studies. Art History is a strong point of his also as well as Microscopy.

When he sees something worth shooting, he sees it through his artist mind. He explained that he doesn’t really alter his pictures much. He doesn’t crop much and he doesn’t use Photoshop; just limited editing tools and filters bring out what he has already captured in his own special way. “You get out of it what you put in. I start with the best image possible. When I take the photo, great light and as stated earlier, no cropping. If you start with a good photo, you’ll be able to create what you see in your mind and at a good quality for presentation.” Draper’s work has been shown in museums and galleries in Massachusetts and Rhode Island. He is also very proud that the RISD Museum has nine of his screen prints in their collection, as his grandfather graduated there in 1926. Under normal circumstances, his work can be seen and

purchased at several events around the state; his work is a staple at The Providence Flea, The Artisan’s Market, and Waterfire. Not being able to sell at these events has been a huge economic loss for Draper and many artists around the state. Until these events are up and running again, you can see his work several places online. You can find him on Instagram and his work is archived on his Facebook page. He also sells under is name on Ebay. He can be contacted directly at jamesedge1@yahoo.com Prints of his work are available in editions of 25 hand numbered and signed and always framed double matted and ready to hang. Photos frame out to 16’x16’ when the 12’x12’ photo is double matted and framed in black. If you see something you like or remember a piece from a past event, contact James H. Draper today and speak one on one with him. He is excited and waiting to hear from you.

SILLY LAWS

During his 1976 campaign, Jimmy Carter said that if he won the election, he would release all the government information on UFOs. A er being elected, he decided not to do so because of "national security concerns." Election Day was designated as the Tuesday following the first Monday in November back in 1845. At the time, officials calculated that farmers needed a day to get to the country seat to cast ballots but did not want to interfere with church day on Sunday, so they chose Tuesday. Hillary Clinton was the first woman to clinch the nomination for a major party. But the first woman to run for president was Victoria Woodhull, leader of the Suffrage e movement in the US, in 1872 - almost 50 years before women were allowed to vote in presidential elections (1920). At 70, Donald Trump was the oldest candidate to be elected as a first-term president. Ronald Reagan was 69 when he won his first term, and 73 when he won for the second time. Trump is also one of the tallest US Presidents: he is 6.3 . Abraham Lincoln is considered the tallest US President at 6.4 . The US has one of the lowest voting rates amongst developed countries with just around 60 percent participation. Around 6 million Americans aren’t eligible to vote due to felony convictions. The US allows astronauts to vote from space. Astronauts receive the ballot through an email secured with crew member-specific credentials. For astronauts, the voting process starts a year prior to their launch. They are asked to select which in elections (local-state-federal) they want to participate while in space. Six months before the election, they are provided with a standard form: the “Voter Registration and Absentee Ballot Request - Federal Post Card Application”. “Space voting” was first used in 1997.
