The Best & Worst States In America to Drive In

Whether we get behind the wheel for leisurely cruising, for our daily commutes, or to take care of errands, American drivers have long contended with traffic, potholes, fluctuating gas prices, and the other annoyances. WalletHub wanted to see which states were better to drive in than others, and it looked at all 50 across more than 30 metrics in four main categories: traffic and infrastructure (e.g., average commute times, road quality, and the number of icy and rainy days); safety, everything from the share of adults who wear seatbelts to how strict DUI punishments are and fatality rates; access to vehicles and maintenance, meaning car dealerships, gas stations, and repair shops; and the cost of owning a vehicle and its upkeep, including maintenance, gas, and insurance. Iowa emerged at the top, while Hawaii came in last.

The RIHA Kitchen Cabinet will meet three to four times per year to share findings from sessions and activities throughout the course of the year, as well as listen to invited guest speakers. Additionally, members of the Cabinet will take part in a number of events designed to provide a balanced and well-rounded viewpoint on the hospitality industry’s role and commitment to the communities it serves.

Dale J. Venturini Unveiling the RI Hospitality Association Kitchen Cabinet

By Dale J. Venturini,

President/CEO, RI Hospitality Association (RIHA)

Given the level of disruption affecting the hospitality industry in recent years, and with many businesses still facing staffing shortages, rising operating costs and more, the RI Hospitality Association (RIHA) is kicking off 2023, with a brand-new strategic group, The RI Hospitality Kitchen Cabinet. The “Cabinet” is composed of industry leaders who will assist its Board of Directors and the Association with rebuilding a robust hospitality community through shaping strategic advocacy goals, vetting new programs and services, serving as hospitality ambassadors in the community, and participating in listening sessions to hear member perspectives and legislative viewpoints.

The Kitchen Cabinet is positioned as a think tank of leaders from a myriad of industries who impact or have an effect on Rhode Island’s vibrant hospitality industry. This group of trusted business leaders has been carefully selected to provide the most well-rounded opinions and advice; each must be an Active Member of the Association, participate in Association events, and take part in contributing to the RIHA Political Action Committee. The Kitchen Cabinet reports to the RIHA Board of Directors.

A sampling of events includes five roundtables with state, local, and regulatory officials; one community/ goodwill initiative; specialty events, as identified by the Cabinet’s leadership, political events (i.e. - Get Served by the Speaker, Statewide Roundtables), community initiatives, and specialty events.

Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, one thing that has become increasingly clear is the need for new industry leaders to inspire our community members to work towards something bigger than themselves. In recent years, we have faced many crises and have done our best to survive, and now that we are recovering and rebuilding, we are also looking to foster the next generation of talented leaders who are committed to working for the greater good of the entire industry.

The point of the RIHA Kitchen Cabinet is simple: we cannot solve problems unless we know what people are dealing with. When I think of all that we have accomplished, despite having the odds stacked against us in recent years, I recognize that the RI Hospitality Association and its members could not have achieved such great things without the support of the hospitality community at-large.

The RI Hospitality Association Kitchen Cabinet met for the first time, for a listening session with Rhode Island’s Secretary of Commerce Liz Tanner and Director Matt Weldon of the RI Department of Labor and Training, on Tuesday, January 17th. The event was free for RIHA members and was $49.00 for non-members.

The RIHA Kitchen Cabinet will focus on a number of important initiatives and causes to propel the hospitality industry post-pandemic into its next successful chapter through innovation and collaboration. The Cabinet will pay careful consideration to the needs of industries within RIHA’s 900+ membership, from lodging, to food service, to allied and ancillary segments.

SHRIMP SCAMPI ON STEROIDS

By Al Milukas

I love shrimp scampi, and had the need to satisfy my cravings the other day. But what started as a simple scampi recipe, turned into something a bit more. I may never make scampi the same way again!

Ingredients: 1 lb. wild-caught American shrimp, peeled and de-veined 4 tablespoons butter 4 tablespoons olive oil 2 teaspoons parsley 1 teaspoon garlic salt 1 teaspoon oregano 1/2 teaspoon granulated onion 1/4 teaspoon black pepper 3 tablespoons Spirgučiai (see below) 1/2 lb. fresh mozzarella, sliced oregano, for sprinkling Thaw the shrimp under cold water. Place in a colander to drain.

Spirgučiai is a Lithuanian favorite: chopped bacon and onions, fried until crisp and usually sprinkled over anything and everything in Lithuanian cooking. I always have some in my fridge, already prepared and just waiting to be used.

In a saucepan on medium heat, combine the butter, olive oil, parsley, garlic salt, oregano, onion, pepper and Spirgučiai.

Heat only until everything melts and combines. Don’t let it burn. (If you don’t have Spirgučiai, all you need to do is take a couple of slices of bacon, chop them up, and fry them in a pan until crisp. Keep the bacon and the fat in the pan and then add the butter, olive oil, parsley, garlic salt, oregano, onion and pepper.)

In a small sheet pan lined with foil, lay the shrimp in a single layer and cook them halfway in a pre-heated 400-degree oven to remove the moisture from the shrimp.

Take the pan out of the oven, and drain off the moisture, if any. Pour the butter mix from the saucepan all over the shrimp and toss to coat. Return the shrimp to the oven for a few minutes, until they’ve heated through and are almost completely cooked. (Careful: never over-cook shrimp!)

Take the pan out of the oven, and place pieces of mozzarella on top, garnishing with a little oregano. Set the oven on broil and cook until the cheese has melted.

Slice with a spatula and serve on top of pasta, making sure you get some of that buttery scampi sauce.

How Exercise Improves Your Mood By: Susan Gazerro

Exercise has always been my therapy. It’s never just been a physical activity. I was never just focused on the physical result. It has always been just as much, if not more, about my mental health. Not only does it give us the energy we need every day, but it absolutely changes our mood. This has been scientifically proven.

You’ve probably heard that exercise increases endorphins, (the happy hormone), but it also increases many more brain chemicals that make you feel happy. I knew this, but when I suffered a TBI (traumatic brain injury) the doctors encouraged me to exercise. They explained that when you exercise, it does increase endorphins, but it also increases dopamine, adrenaline, and endocannabinoid. These are all brain chemicals associated with feeling happy, feeling confident, and feeling capable.

These endorphins contribute to having less anxiety, stress, and even less physical pain. When you exercise, you also increase nerve cell growth in the brain. Increasing nerve cells is directly linked to aiding with depression. Another chemical that is shown to help relieve stress and 22 Shop In RI

boost happiness is myokine, which your body creates when your muscles contract. Myokines begin to change the structure and function of your brain in ways that make you more resilient to stress and help most people recover from depression and anxiety disorders. Again, having a TBI can be very devastating and life changing, hence, the doctors encourage exercise as often as possible. It, again, is a source of therapy and it definitely helped in my recovery.

We all know having strong, healthy relationships is one of the most important factors in everyone’s overall happiness. Having a fitness family can mean more than just having a group of people you can depend on to workout with. I have been instructing at 6am for years and the group of women that attend, my “6amers”, as I call them, are definitely mine, and each other’s fitness family. When you connect with people that have common interests like working out and being healthy, you automatically bond. We have become such great friends. We all have our own lives, but we know every morning at 6am we are going to laugh, cry, vent, and have a great workout together.

There is no question that exercise will boost your confidence. Confidence is key to feeling happy, and I always say, “confidence is beauty.”

Confidence makes you beautiful. People gravitate toward people who are confident.

No one should take your confidence away or make you feel any less worthy. You are special and unique and you need to believe that. Your life will change once you do.

Exercise helps boost your confidence because not only does your physical appearance change, but when you workout, you’re doing something challenging, which gives you a sense of accomplishment. When you are with other people, whether working out or in any scenario, it creates a sense of ‘bigger than self,’ and this makes people feel more optimistic and empowered. It also allows people to feel more empowered about facing the challenges in their own lives. The interesting side benefit of moving or working out with other people is there is a sense of “we’re in this together” that translates into self-confidence. You also want to work harder and try harder because you are subconsciously trying to prove yourself and do good for the “team.” This in turn helps you take on challenges in your life.

If you love the outdoors and want to exercise outdoors, this could also be very beneficial.

Exercising outdoors has an immediate

effect on mood that is extremely powerful for depression and anxiety. Exercising outdoors puts you in a state of open awareness. This is very similar to meditation.

We have all heard that meditation has so many benefits. The good news is if you are not one to meditate, you may not have to. Your mind can play tricks on you. If you are the type who worries or overthinks everything, something as simple as going for a walk or bike ride outdoors can have an immediate profound effect that will give tremendous relief because it invites the mind to shift spontaneously without any effort of entering a meditation state. Again, being outdoors provides the same benefit. So, if you find yourself getting depressed or in a rut, make an effort to go outside and do something for yourself.

A lot of people don’t like to exercise. I have always tried to make people understand the importance and benefits of exercise. You will never regret working out. Think about this, you take care of so many things in life. You take care of your family, your car, work, house etc., isn’t your health the most important thing to take care of?

“The best investment you can ever make is in your own health.”

Kids Growing Up Strong

by Kevin Kearns

As a father of two, I know how all of us feel. We want our kids to grow up strong and healthy, as well as limit the amount of pain and difficulty they are going to come up against.

When it comes to sports and life, we want to give them all of the tools to succeed, and I can think of no better place than team sports and individual fitness. The challenge is most people do not realize that if you improve your child’s level of fitness, you improve their performance. As an added benefit, their confidence improves. We cannot teach them the thrill of victory or the agony of defeat. They must learn that on their own. We can only help them to manage those emotions. For me as a coach, I can think of no better way to help them manage the latter, improve their performance, and help them to gain confidence, then with adding sport-specific activities and general fitness training.

The big challenge facing us all is we live in a “kid coddling” society. Very few people will step in and push children a little harder each time. I have seen it with my own children’s participation in sports.

One plays basketball and the other plays volleyball.

After watching a couple of tournaments of each, I noticed a few places to enhance all of the children’s performances.

They needed to warm up properly.

They needed to cool down.

They needed to add flexibility in their programming.

They needed core strength.

They needed agility work.

They needed balance work.

They needed full body exercise for spatial awareness.

Now, I don’t claim to be a basketball player (trust me, I’m lucky if I can dribble), and I’m only a decent volleyball player; add to that, the fact that I was the kid who was “always picked last,” however, I do understand movement.

Children are not that hard to train. They can be trained just like adults. You just have to make it fun, short, and interesting. You take a movement like a plank and put it on a bosu and call it “Ride the Wave” and they love it. The wrinkle I notice is when we are being overprotective of our young people. Instead of letting them point and click, they should be out

running, jumping, and climbing. I once heard a parent say that monkey bars are a bad thing. Really?

Here are some simple drills and skills for children for any sport.

The keys are simple; activate the 5 elements of fitness: push, pull, level change, rotation, and locomotion.

We suggest 30 seconds of an exercise, with 15 to 20 second breaks, and about 5 to 8 stations.

Monkey Punches - Stand in front of the bosu and squat down. Now, jump up in the air and when you come down, hammerstrike the bosu.

Whack a Mole - in a push up position, have the child start with hands on the bosu. Now, have them alternate lifting a hand off the bosu and whacking it.

Leap Frogs - with a fitness trampoline, have the child stand in front of the unit and then jump onto the trampoline.

Caterpillar Rolls - have the child lay on the stability ball in a prone position on their shoulder blades. Now without using their hands, have them try and roll over to their stomach on the ball.

Punch Crunch - while sitting on a bosu, have the child sit up and hit the focus mitts in alternating fashion.

We need to build confidence in our children because they are our greatest asset.

Overprotection is something we all need to look at and move beyond. Of course, we all want our most cherished to be safe, and yes, knowing when being caring turns into hovering can be challenging, but, in the long run, it is so important for children’s overall healthy growth.

Kiersten Luis, Realtor

Making Your Dream Home A Reality In 2023

By Jennifer Coates In the competitive world of real estate, home buyers and sellers need a realtor who will not only represent them, but who will also be their second set of eyes, their objective advocate, their adviser and confidante, and their ardent supporter. Realtor Kiersten Luis is all these things, and so much more.

Kiersten Luis is a fiercely dedicated professional, who is not only respected by her clients, but who is genuinely embraced as family.

Kiersten says it best when she says: “I’m not in the real estate business, I am in the relationship business.” This is not just a catchy phrase, it is a personal philosophy and a personal commitment for this energetic lifelong Rhode Islander and Lincoln-based realtor.

homeowners’ “dream homes,” a reality.

Kiersten also loves the education piece of real estate transactions, understanding that an informed consumer is always the best consumer who yields the best results. Most of all, Kiersten knows how to advocate for her clients, whether she is selling their home or business, or buying a new one. She puts in the sweat equity so you don’t have to.

Being a successful realtor takes the perfect balance of that unrelenting sweat equity, with lots of persistence, long hours, hard work, education, and a sense of optimism, checked with realism ~ knowing that there will always be a chance of challenges in the process. Kiersten’s experience as an investor has allowed her to strike this balance, giving her a lot of determination, self-discipline, and resourcefulness.

When asked how she applies this determination, self-discipline, resourcefulness, and balance,

Long-lasting and meaningful relationships are important to Kiersten Luis, both at work and at home. Kiersten is married to Tony Luis, and together, they have two daughters, six-year-old Olivia and four-year-old Maya. The strength and integrity of her family have informed every decision Kiersten has made, including the decision to leave a career in Health Care Technology to become a fulltime realtor. Already a serious real estate investor, Kiersten made this transition smoothly and brings all the skills required of both a devoted parent and a dedicated professional to her job as your realtor.

Time with family is a priority, and she brings this same sensibility to her work, knowing that she is not alone in trying to achieve a healthy work/life balance.

While Kiersten was officially licensed to be a realtor in 2015, her work in real estate extends back over a decade. Her time “in the field” has taught her many things. She knows how to spot a good real estate deal when she sees one; she knows how to turn an average purchase into a lifelong investment; she knows how to work with a close-knit team, all motivated by the same goal of making her

Katie Wright & Kiersten Luis

Kiersten attributes much of her success to the team of professionals she not only surrounds herself with, but also whose relationships she has curated and forged over many, many years. She has enduring relationships with seasoned attorneys, inspectors, contractors, lenders, and tradesmen. She has high standards and high expectations for her teammates, having them proven, time and time again.

These high standards also apply to the talented and loyal team Kiersten works with at the Century 21 Premier Agency office in Lincoln, most specifically her partner Katie Wright. Katie and Kiersten make a formidable team, bound by their strong work ethic, commitment to their clients, stalwart values of integrity, trustworthiness and dependability, but mostly, by their equal devotion to family, above all else.

There is no doubt that when you work with Kiersten and Katie, you are always in good hands.

One of the things that sets Kiersten apart is her 24/7 commitment to her clients. When she is not coaching soccer or tending to all the responsibilities of an active and engaged mom, Kiersten is “beating the pavement.”

Her phone is her constant companion, even as her family’s needs come first. Clients who have questions or concerns that crop up in the middle of the night can send her off a text message and she will respond first thing in the morning. She knows that the process of homebuying and selling can be fraught with worry,

and it is her job to assuage your worry and provide solutions and courses of action that meet the problem.

The problems that face homebuyers these days have to do with the ever-fluctuating inventory of properties on the housing market. The pandemic changed the dynamics of home buying and selling, not only in Rhode Island, but across the country.

Kiersten does her research, in fact, this is one of the aspects of her job that she loves the most. She will dive in deep, working relentlessly to sell your home (think professional photos, getting your finances in order so you are ready to go, staging your home) and buy your dream home (she will go over every detail with a fine-tooth comb, walking you through every step with confidence and focus).

Kiersten Luis is a managing partner in the highly reputable Century 21 Premier Agency. If you want to learn more about her experience, as well as obtain helpful tips, as you begin your real estate journey, be sure to explore her Instagram and Facebook pages @kierstenluisrealtor. She can be reached any time at 401-301-8488 (and she means any time) or via email at kierstenluis@gmail.com. Kiersten is licensed in Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and Connecticut.

Don’t take any chances with your future. Whether you are buying your first home or selling your lifetime home (or anything in between), let Kiersten be your guide, support, and advocate. She is ready to take your call.

How to Make a Financial Comeback By: Carrie McPherson

Tap into other savings or investments.

If you have savings separate from your emergency fund, consider withdrawing from these sources. While it’s likely you have the money earmarked for a different type of goal (e.g. a second home, a new boat), it may be more important to take care of the unexpected expenses today. Whatever you do, try to avoid withdrawing from your retirement or college savings accounts. You may incur a penalty for using the money for non-qualified expenses and you would miss out on the chance to continue compounding your savings over time.

Adjust your spending.

Many Americans at one point or another will deal with an unexpected event that has financial implications. As a financial advisor, I’ve helped many families overcome these setbacks and go onto achieve their biggest financial goals. Most often, setbacks occur because of circumstances beyond one’s control, such as a job layoff, a car accident, natural disasters, a house fire or the onset of an illness. If you find yourself facing a similar unexpected situation, here are five steps to help you regain your financial footing and confidence: Give yourself permission to dip into your emergency fund.

It can be mentally difficult to spend your hard-earned savings paying off unexpected bills. If you find yourself in this position, remind yourself that the point of having money set aside is to handle unplanned costs with as minimal impact to your usual spending as possible.

Craft a financial strategy to combat the expenses.

If the costs are more than your emergency fund can cover, take the time to plan out how to address them.

Your strategy may include: Insurance.

If your situation involves an expense covered by insurance, contact your provider as soon as you can to start the claims process. If you’re unsure of whether an expense is covered by your policy, ask. Document key details of the situation and remember to keep all receipts.

40 Shop In RI

Depending on your situation, you can either rework your budget or simply be more mindful of your spending in the near term. If you’re living with a spouse or partner, have a conversation to help set financial priorities over the next few weeks or months. Open communication can help you work together to address the unplanned expenses and get back on track.

Seek professional help.

If you’re unsure which investments to draw down or want a second opinion on the tradeoffs between using various sources of income, consult a financial advisor.

Prepare for next time.

Once you’ve addressed the situation at hand, commit to restoring your financial foundation for the next inevitable unexpected event. Replenish your cash reserve and create a plan to rebuild any withdrawn investment savings. Review your insurance coverage to make sure you have adequate protection and understand what expenses may be covered and where you may have gaps.

Smart Strategies for Managing a Windfall By: Edward Pontarelli Jr.

If a financial windfall is in your future, when the day comes, you’ll have decisions to make. A large infusion of cash is generally welcome news, but it can come with challenges and complexity.

Here are some things to consider when your financial circumstances change for the better overnight.

Don’t make any sudden decisions. Whether you’ve been enriched by an inheritance, a boom in business, the lottery, or something else, take your time before making big decisions you may later regret. For example, don’t quit your job or make large purchases without thinking through the consequences and looking at the big picture. Instead, study your options so you can feel confident about your next steps.

Build your emergency fund. Your windfall is an opportunity to shore up financial security. For that reason, a portion of your new-found wealth belongs in an emergency fund, particularly if yours has been underfunded. Experts recommend setting aside six months to one year of expenses to prepare for a downturn in financial circumstances. Hold this money in an account that’s liquid so you can readily access it. And, keep emergency funds separate from your regular checking account to avoid the temptation to dip into them.

Tackle debt. Debt is often the greatest threat to financial stability. If you’ve racked up unpaid balances, your windfall represents a great opportunity to reduce or eliminate them. The first order of business is to pay down your credit card or other high-interest debt. Doing so can drastically reduce your monthly expenses and improve your credit score in the process. Paying down low-interest mortgage debt may not be as high a priority, especially if you can offset mortgage interest with investment gains.

Invest in your future. Put your windfall to work to create financial stability now and in the future. Fund your retirement plan with a balanced portfolio aligned to your risk tolerance and time horizon. Diversify your holdings with a range of stocks and bonds. You might also consider alternative tangible assets such as property.

Plan your estate. A sudden windfall is a reminder that life can change in a heartbeat. Take this opportunity to create or update your will. Assign beneficiaries to your assets, including your life insurance policy. Consider creating a trust to pass your wealth to the next generation.

Spend wisely. Don’t let your good fortune cloud your judgment. Be discerning in your expenditures. A large infusion of cash may permit you to make long-desired purchases, change careers, or help family and friends, but perhaps not all at once. Ideally you will continue to maintain a household budget to prevent overspending.

Share your good fortune. If your changed financial status allows it, be generous with the people and organizations you care about. Philanthropy and charitable deeds contribute to health and well-being while also strengthening communities.

Talk to a tax professional. Unexpected cash can affect your tax bill. There may be strategies you can employ to lessen your tax liability. For example, you may be able to fund an individual retirement account (IRA) or a health savings account (HSA) to reduce taxable income for the year. Make sure you’re taking advantage of available deductions and credits that lower your tax bill.

Get guidance from a financial advisor. An experienced financial professional can help you in the happy circumstance of a financial windfall. Consult an advisor for advice on how to manage your good fortune for optimal results.

Anchor Financial Mortgage Makes “The American Dream” Possible

by Mark Berger

Buying or selling a home can both be the most gratifying, yet, biggest stress inducer for anyone. There is plenty to learn and understand, usually through a small window of opportunity. While there are homes available for purchase, current inventory is not at optimum levels for buyers.

Another factor is people having big plans for a new home, but soon realize they are not ready to make that jump because they haven’t properly prepared.

communication with our clients and referral partners because knowledge is power!”

Anchor Financial Mortgage specializes in purchase mortgages. Whether a first-time homebuyer, move-up buyer, or experienced real estate investor, they know how to get you across the finish line.

Making certain potential home buyers actually qualify and are comfortable to buy a home is imperative to a smooth process for both buyers and sellers. Looking at half million-dollar homes, when one can only afford $300,000, makes little sense. You can set yourself up for major disappointment or even worse, lose money.

Anchor has lending partnerships with numerous federal and state programs designed to help make buying a home a reality for many who thought they couldn’t. Homeownership is the “American Dream” because it is the single greatest way to build wealth and stability for your future. Anchor Financial Mortgage has all the tools to make it happen.

To get out of “Fantasy Land” and into a more suitable frame of mind, Anchor Financial Mortgage, located at 1 Lonsdale Avenue in Pawtucket, does all the work necessary to make sure their clients are able to finish what they start. Anchor President Joseph Baptista and his team “tailor fit” the right mortgage for their buyers, with access to every mortgage program available. Baptista’s philosophy is simple: “affordable financing plus outstanding service, equals customers for life.” That often takes some extra work, but he feels it’s well worth it based on the company’s repeat business. Their loyal customer base of 20-plus years demonstrates the small business does things right, working with second- and third-generation families!

For people who would like to know that beforehand, they can visit the company’s website at www.anchorfinancial.com and go to “Apply Now,” fill out their details, and find out what they can afford.

“We’ve been in business for a while now, and the best compliment we get is how thorough we are,” he said, adding they have never received a complaint from the Better Business Bureau since opening in 2000. “We have an in-house underwriting and processing team that goes above and beyond to make sure our clients are successful. Our staff educates, and is dedicated to constant 44 Shop In RI

Baptista said that no matter what the situation or circumstances are, they have the ways to help.

“We work with all the different lenders and agencies— nationally and locally—to give our clients the best financing available,” he said. “Whether someone needs to be preapproved for a new mortgage, refinance for cash out, eliminate PMI on their existing mortgage, or need a home improvement loan, we have the resources and knowledge to assist both new and experienced homeowners get the mortgage financing they deserve.

“We don’t cut corners or take shortcuts; we don’t charge any processing or underwriting fees, and our customer service makes us stand out. It’s all about the customer experience,” said Baptista.

He added that the most rewarding part of the job is seeing the smiles on the faces of first-time homebuyers, who never thought they could own a home. With inflation and the current cost of rent so ridiculously high, it is extremely hard for new homebuyers to save up money for a down payment. Working with state agencies such as RI Housing and Mass Housing, Anchor is able to make these dreams a reality.

How can anyone save up for a down payment when so many are paying $2000 (or more) a month for rent? RI Housing and Mass Housing programs provide down payment assistance for first time homebuyers, so now they can start paying their own mortgage instead of paying their landlord’s mortgage. Also, credit score requirements are lower—as low as 620 for RI Housing and 640 for Mass Housing! Of course, they look at more than just the credit scores, but these are the minimums needed to get you through the door.

Baptista said bad-credit customers are a specialty. As he puts it, “I’ve never seen a credit report I can’t fix!” He explained that sometimes it takes some time and money to settle old debts, if they think necessary, but he and his team are credit experts. They don’t charge any creditrepair fees. They will also send you a free copy of your credit report, with detailed instructions on the steps needed to get the credit on track.

with the increased equity in everyone’s homes today, seniors who have tried for a reverse mortgage in the past, unsuccessfully, may now qualify!” he said.

He added, “Anchor has been able to help so many seniors stay happy and in their homes for as long as they are healthy.”

Baptista warns customers about seniors getting taken advantage of with these mortgages. He advises anyone interested in such programs to contact his office first.

Anchor Financial Mortgage services all of New England (except for Vermont), New York, and Florida, with 22 years of A+ ratings with the Better Business Bureau, with no consumer complaints.

They strive to provide qualified individuals with the best possible mortgage financing available, with customer service that is second to none!

As a result of this tragic loss, proceeds from their raffles and silent auction that night will benefit Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD), in his memory.

ABS Company President Mike Ardry said, “It is hard to believe that it has been almost three years since we lost Alan. The world has changed due to Covid, supply chain issues, and rate increases. ABS has weathered all of that because of the amazing team Alan built. We continue to live his legacy.”

The Technology Summit features several of the company’s preferred vendors who will display, demonstrate, and share the latest innovations for the office.

With Automated looking to raise money this year, they will be selling raffle tickets at the door. Tickets are $5 for 1, $10 for 3, and an armful for $20. All proceeds will be donated to benefit MADD, in honor of Alan.

Details are forthcoming, according to Ardry.

Registration for the event is free, but space is limited.

Dolly Towne has Many Reasons to Celebrate in 2023!

A new endeavor, grand opening and rebranding marks a monstrous start to her year.

by Mark Berger

Four years ago, Dolly Towne found herself at a crossroads.

She held a comfortable job working as a payroll tax analyst at an established company. She and her husband later welcomed their son into the world. It would be a tug-of-war between raising their newborn and continuing to work on site. After much thought and discussion, Towne decided to leave her job and strike out on her own—while raising her son.

The result became the formation of Bookkeeping Towne, LLC., based in East Providence, in 2019. She offers bookkeeping services for various small businesses.

While she maintains a diverse clientele, Dolly’s primary clients came from the food industry. Towne found those particular clients had plenty going on besides dealing with the financial side of their respective businesses.

She opened her office initially on the Wampanoag Trail before choosing to work from home and also raising her son. After some time, she felt it was time for a change.

“Working from home, I was in the basement that had no windows or sunlight. There was no ambiance. I had to do most of my meetings via Zoom, and it wasn’t the best setting. That’s when I knew finding a new office became a priority,” she said.

That idea turned into a reality this past October. Towne moved into her new office space on 1019 Waterman Avenue in East Providence. Towne found the spot and fell in love with the space, which includes a conference room to hold meetings, plenty of space to hold events and—yes—plenty of windows to not feel so claustrophobic.

Another benefit there is a room large enough to bring her son to either play or hang out. The office also has a small kitchen. There are some cosmetic changes Towne

50 Shop In RI

will work on before her Grand Opening event on Friday, March 3rd.

Sponsored by The East Providence Chamber of Commerce, the Grand Opening will not only unveil the new location of Bookkeeping Towne, but she will also unveil the name of her new division within her business! She is keeping that a secret until event night. However, she noted that the move comes from her expansion of clients in the food industry.

It will be quite an affair, Towne said. There will be food offered by The Mosaic Table of Warren as well as cash raffles, door prizes and special guests. The cash raffles will honor two non-profit organizations. Towne credits Hope & Main, a Warren-based company devoted to empowering an inclusive community of entrepreneurs to jumpstart and cultivate thriving food businesses, for getting her clients initially. Also, We Share Hope, a Rumford-based organization that provides food and other necessities for those who need it

most in the community, as a helpful resource.

Towne hopes business owners and leaders will help celebrate her milestones.

“I have experienced gradual growth since striking out on my own in 2019,” Dolly said. “This is a culmination of all of the hard work that so many people have done to help me achieve my goals. It would be wonderful to see some familiar faces, along with anyone looking for bookkeeping services. The new division would be of particular interest in the food business: from food markets and caterers to distributors and merchant service providers. It gives them a chance to see how I can help them put one important part of their day in good hands.”

Because of this undertaking, Towne said that she is looking for anyone interested in either sponsoring the event and/or donating items as door prizes.

For sponsoring, it will include such benefits as event signage, speaking opportunities at the event, and social media mentions. Some companies such as a linen supply company, a dessert or cake shop, a supply store, may benefit from the additional exposure. As for raffle items, Dolly said no donation is too small or inexpensive to make a difference.

clients, she will be rebranding a division of Bookkeeping Towne specifically to the food industry along with it being her 4th anniversary!

As she puts it, “I want to educate and support your food business as you grow and expand by sharing my knowledge and tips with you. Together, we will work to collaborate on your goals, what you want for your business, and how we can achieve them.”

For more details about the event, Dolly’s services and other information, please contact her at 401-474-5229 or dolly@bookkeepingtowne.com.

“It doesn’t matter how you help out,” she said. “You will leave with a full heart knowing that you will be helping other people in the community that are struggling to get by.”

Bookkeeping Towne, LLC, offers an array of packages and services that includes monthly bookkeeping, QuickBooks Tutorials, Sales Tax Management, Payroll services, Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable Management, Monthly Financial Statement Reviews, Budgeting & Forecasting and Inventory Management (thanks to Covid).

Providence Preservation Society’s 2023 Winter Bash Will be a Blast

BY MARK BERGER

For anyone looking to support a local endeavor, while dressing up for the cause, The Providence Preservation Society will hold its 19th Winter Bash on Saturday, March 4th, from 7:30 pm until 11:30 pm.

The event, to be held at a venue to be determined, will feature the backdrop of “Through the Looking Glass,” as a nod to the Lewis Carroll book, “Alice in Wonderland.” Attendees can come dressed up in that motif, come black-tie ready, or as casual as they like. Appetizers, entertainment, performances, featuring a disc jockey, and other special activities are also planned for that evening.

Proceeds from this event support the Providence Preservation Society’s historic preservation advocacy and education work in Providence.

Executive Director Brent Runyon said that past events have included such themes as ‘Old Hollywood,’ ‘Moulin Rouge,’ and ‘Kings and Queens.’ They are on their 19th event because the pandemic wiped out the festivities in 2021. After all of the past events, he still loves the planning some people do to get noticed.

“In the past years, we had people come in some outrageous costumes,” Runyon said. “For the ‘Kings and Queens’ bash, someone dressed as Larry King!

54 Shop In RI

The themes are certainly open to interpretation.

However, not everyone is going to be over the top.”

Runyon said that they hope to attract 500 guests for the upcoming event. Past soirees have sold out, so for anyone wanting to be there, he suggests purchasing tickets sooner than later.

Monies are raised from ticket sales and sponsorships. They currently have several area businesses that are lending their support. Current Sponsors include: Host Sponsor: The Providence Tourism Council, Benefactor Sponsor: Parsons Capital Management, and Supporter Sponsor: Trac Builders.

Bank of America, DBWV Architects, Duffy & Sweeney, Ltd., Red House Design Build, Gilbane, and Withum serve as Partners in Preservation.

In-kind donations have been provided by: Bottles, McLaughlin & Moran, The Avery, and various local restaurants. Anyone willing to help support the cause should contact the Society for details.

The Providence Preservation Society is a non-profit organization established in 1956. They initially worked to preserve the buildings located on Benefit Street. Through the years, they have increased their reach to include the city of Providence and many of

its neighborhoods. Their mission is to keep the historic architecture and features intact. They work with the residents who could be impacted by changes to the neighborhoods in question.

Other services they provide are education and training. The Society works to teach contractors the details involving these older buildings (homes or otherwise). Runyon said that these courses are available and can shed plenty or light on how to properly address issues.

“These homes and historical buildings were built with different materials and techniques from how they are constructed today,” he said.

“There may be things behind a wall that need to be dealt with before construction begins.

Plumbing and electrical can be tricky to retrofit into an older home. There is a process that not many contractors would know, regarding restoring an older building. We are working with the trades to make them more aware of what type of undertaking such projects can become.”

Runyon said that there is not currently any other training for tradespeople who work on older buildings. That is the reason why the Society works to ensure that the information is out there.

The Providence Preservation Society (PPS) is a non-profit organization and was established in 1956 to respond to the proposed demolition of a number of 18th- and early 19th-century houses on College Hill. Unlike many historic preservation organizations that were formed to preserve a particular building, PPS has always been an advocate for neighborhood preservation and reinvestment. From that small neighborhood group, PPS has grown into a multifaceted, citywide preservation and planning organization.

They envision Providence celebrating and preserving its past, building a vibrant and sustainable future, where people and the economy thrive. They support and advocate for historic preservation, thoughtful design, and people-centered planning in Providence.

Converting Interior Natural Wood Trim to Painted Trim 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!

and acrylic caulk for any gaps in trim joints.

Apply a 2nd coat of alcohol based shellac.

Although nowhere near the equivalent of a locksmith teaching a budding thief how to pick a lock, the topic of this article feels similarly dirty to me.

Apply (2) coats of your desired trim finish (sanding in between coats and then wiping with a rag/tack cloth as necessary).

Doing what we do, we see some of the most beautiful natural wood trim on the interior of people’s homes, as one might conceive to imagine. The finishes on this natural wood range from modern day stain & polyurethane systems to ancient shellac coatings that truly are remarkable.

Apply a 3rd coat, if it really seems like it may need it.

YUCK! I feel as though I have to go take a shower now.

In all seriousness, this is how we typically would do it.

Once in a while, we get a request from someone that wants to paint this beautiful natural wood trim, if for no other reason than to bring the appearance of their overall interior to reflect more contemporary designs. Each time we get asked to do this, I literally cringe.

Even with that being the case, we generally acquiesce and do a deep dive into what the potential project involves, as well as the pros and cons of painting the natural wood trim. Once the natural wood trim is painted, THAT’S IT! Short of a monumental restoration process, there is no going back to the natural woodwork in anything that comes near to resembling a quick fashion. Not only that, if the prep process is not done 100% correctly, then whoever is the owner of the natural wood trim, may have a disaster on their hands.

As an example, if a step is skipped, the paint that is applied may easily get nicked, and possibly begin to peel off in sheets, the first time it is hit at precisely the correct angle.

The proper process (as I begin to delve into ‘locksmith teaching the burglar’ mode) if one were to correctly convert natural wood trim to painted trim, looks like this: Lightly sand the wood trim that will be being worked on.

Clean off (wiping with a rag first, chased with a tack cloth).

Carefully apply a coat of alcohol-based shellac.

Fill any imperfections (these will become accentuated after the first coat of primer is applied) by using wood putty for any holes 56 Shop In RI

As much as I try to talk folks out of it every time they broach the subject with me, more often than not, people want what they want, and my words of caution seem to be appreciated, but seldom sway the mission.

While my appreciation for finished natural woodwork pales in comparison to a great majority of seasoned veterans in the trades, as well as professionals with much deeper background in historical preservation, I still get irked by these types of projects.

However, as much as this is true, I do respect folks that would like to modernize the appearance of their living space, which is why we still undertake these types of tasks, even though our internal preferences may lean 180 degrees to the opposite direction, as to what we might like to see done in the space, if it were ours to do so.

About Tom Lopatosky Tom Lopatosky has run his own RI-based painting and repair business since 1995; LOPCO Contracting – the “Personable, Particular Professionals” – specializes in exterior & interior painting and carpentry.

Governor Daniel J. McKee

Continues to Lead Rhode Island in the Right Direction

by Julia Romano

In high school, McKee’s extra curricular activities included playing the sport he was most fond of - basketball. McKee also spent much of his free time at the then- LincolnCumberland Boys and Girls Club, which was founded, in part, by his father.

After graduating from high school, McKee attended Assumption College, a private, Roman Catholic university in Worcester, Massachusetts. From there, he earned a Master’s Degree in Public Administration from the Harvard Kennedy School, the school of public policy and government of Harvard University, located in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

After marrying his high school sweetheart, McKee and his wife had two children, Matthew and Kara. Both children attended public school in Cumberland. For many years, McKee volunteered as a youth basketball coach, where he mentored young athletes and led the AAU team to two state championships.

If you take a look at the life of Governor Daniel McKee, it’s quite clear that his love for Rhode Island is unmistakable. It’s what motivated him to consistently dedicate his efforts to effecting positive change for our great state. Even within a not so healthy economy, Governor McKee has put forth an ongoing commitment to improving the state’s economic situation, with an ever so important focus on assisting the small business industry.

Daniel James McKee was born to James and Helen Willa McKee on June 16, 1951. Raised in Cumberland, RI, Mckee’s parents instilled in him the significance of working hard, so as to succeed, as well as the importance of giving back to the community. Since that time, McKee has certainly accomplished this, along with so much more.

McKee attended Cumberland High School, where he met his future lifelong partner and wife, Susan McGill, who has been a teacher in the Cumberland school system her entire career. She earned two master’s degrees-one in education and another in reading.

66 Shop In RI

As a member of a family that owned and operated businesses in Rhode Island for over 100 years, McKee followed suit as business took on a central role in his life.

In addition to working in the heating oil business, he opened a real estate agency, as well as a fitness center in Woonsocket.

In 1992, McKee first entered the political arena, after winning a seat on the Cumberland Town Council. Here is when the spark of giving back to the community was ignited. After serving on the council for 8 years, McKee won the bid for the Cumberland mayoral race in 2000.

Mayor Dan McKee was now leading the town he loved, one of which he was born and raised, and with pride, raised his own family.

Governor McKee had numerous accomplishments as Cumberland’s mayor for 12 years. One of his most notable achievements as mayor was his creation of Blackstone Valley Prep, the first mayoral charter school in the state, and model for more of the independent public schools.

In 2014, Mayor McKee’s title advanced to Rhode Island’s 69th Lieutenant Governor after beating out Secretary of

State Ralph Mollis for the position, but the mayor, now lieutenant governor, did not stop there.

When Governor Gina Raimondo resigned upon taking the job of United States Secretary of Commerce in 2021, McKee ascended to the governorship. On March 2, 2021, the former town councilman turned mayor, turned lieutenant governor, took on the role of Rhode Island’s 76th Governor.

At this time, the pandemic was still in full force during this time, and Governor McKee delivered one of the best vaccine rollouts in the United States.

His leadership also helped to rebuild the Rhode Island economy, as he continued working to increase employment and sustain Rhode Island’s economic momentum. Governor McKee continues to remain an adamant proponent of charter schools and to serve on the school’s board of directors.

In the September 2022 Democratic primary, Governor McKee defeated four challengers in a close race. In the final run of the general election, he defeated Republican nominee Ashley Kalus.

This enabled Governor McKee to continue with what he does best - working diligently to improve our great state for each and every one of us.

It’s no secret that Governor McKee is a champion of supporting small businesses. Based on his background in business, he not only understands the needs of small business owners, but he has been fighting for them since he took public office.

He has earned the well-deserved reputation of being a Governor for small businesses.

Based upon his support for boosting small business, the following was instituted: • Decreasing the interest rate for certain delinquent taxes • Creating a Taxpayer Steward to help small business owners during the tax process • Removing restrictions to allow Rhode Islanders to sell baked goods they make in their own home kitchens • Adding $100 million to the unemployment insurance trust fund that will reduce the tax small businesses have to pay Governor McKee continues to focus on the same issues he has cared about throughout his entire career, his entire life — an accessible government, effective fiscal management, a high quality public education for all students, and equity and justice.

As we move into 2023, I am confident that Governor McKee will continue to enact policies and programs to improve the lives of all Rhode Island residents. And with a spotlight on the small business industry, the foundation of our great state can only become stronger!

In fact, Governor McKee has continued to lead numerous discussions with local business owners, and while listening to their needs, he has directed millions of dollars in grant money to small businesses during times they most need it.

As part of his strategic plan for Rhode Island’s future, Governor McKee submitted a budget article specific to small businesses, directing funding to remove red tape and slashing taxes to make it easier for small businesses to succeed in Rhode Island.
