Shop In RI Selects Sugarbush Resort, Vermont as their #1 Skiing Getaway on the East Coast!

Sugarbush is an overlooked gem among its peers, with many skiers heading to nearby Killington, Stowe, or Mad River Glen over this double mountain resort. So why shouldn’t you do the same? To put it simply, Sugarbush offers practically everything that those more popular ski areas boast, minus the crowds. So if you fancy schussing down a freshly groomed slope without queuing for a lift or dodging snowploughers this could be just the place for you! Terrain: The resort is made up of two interconnected mountains, Lincoln Peak, where the majority of trails are, and Mount Ellen. Other lower peaks include Castle Rock, Gadd Peak and North Lynx. For the type of gnarly terrain you would expect from Mad River Glen, just hop aboard the Castle Rock Double chair to Castle Rock. From the top at 3,812 ft, you’ll have the steep double black chutes of Lift Line and Rumble to get stuck into. If clocking up maximum vertical drop is more your thing then you’ll find the slopes here laid out much better for top-to-bottom shredding than at Killington. Even if you ski all 111 trails here, there’s also 2,000 ac of backcountry to explore in the Slide Brook Basin area! Town: If all that wasn’t enough, Sugarbush is generally a notch cheaper than pricey Stowe, but not at the sacrifice of luxury. For lavish lodgings, look no further than Lincoln Peak Village. For these reasons and more, when it comes to the most practical ski destination in Vermont, Sugarbush is a fantasic choice for a winter weekend getaway! 04 Shop In RI

The World’s Longest Walk Is Not for the Faint of Heart Feel in need of a good long walk to work off those Christmas cookies? Popular Mechanics flags a post by Interesting Engineering on what’s thought to be the longest non-stop walk you can take on the planet. It’s a more than 14,000-mile journey from L’Agulhas, South Africa, to Magadan, Russia—roughly the equivalent of hiking the Appalachian Trail just over six times. Any encountered bodies of water are passable via bridge, meaning there’s no cheating by boat or ferry required. A person could complete the trek in about three years (that works out to about 13 miles a day), though they’d need to carry or obtain a wide range of gear: stuff suitable for the desert, the rainforest, extreme cold, as well as “body armor for the sections through anarchic or war-torn regions like South Sudan.” And it would be quite the physical endeavor: You’d ascend more than 385,000 feet and descend roughly the same amount, which is like going up and down Everest 13 times.

Woman Stung by Scorpion on United Air Flight out of San Fran You can’t always get a free checked bag on a domestic flight, but increasingly you can get a complimentary scorpion sting: A woman on a San Francisco to Atlanta flight went to the plane’s bathroom after feeling a ”stinging sensation” on her leg, when out dropped a scorpion and ”scurried across the floor, A flight attendant was able to snag the critter. ”After learning that one of our customers on flight 1554 from San Francisco to Atlanta was stung during flight, our crew responded immediately and consulted with a MedLink physician on the ground who provided medical guidance,” a United rep said. ”The customer was transported to a local hospital. We are in contact with our customer to ensure her well-being.”

There’s a Fresh Geyser Mystery in Yellowstone It’s unclear why the Steamboat Geyser had a record year

It’s the tallest active geyser on the planet— with an emphasis on “active.” From 2015 to 2017, it didn’t erupt at all. There was another largely quiet period from 1911 to 1961, but in 2018 it logged a record-setting 32 eruptions, a feat it has crushed this year with 47 eruptions, per the US Geological Survey. Why? Good question, and one that hasn’t been answered. It’s one on a long list of geyser mysteries, in fact. The geyser-research field is a thin one, and as Yellowstone National Park’s hydrologist explained the area beneath Steamboat hasn’t been mapped. However, seismic sensors there have revealed that the geyser’s water source may sit as deep as 130 feet.

THE TOP EARNING ATHLETES OF THE DECADE

Most other geysers seem to be fueled by shallower reserves; deeper equals warmer, so that could be a factor in Steamboat’s ability to propel water to heights of more than 300 feet. Michael Poland with the USGS earlier this year said it’s possible that increased snowfall in Yellowstone of late has led to more groundwater to fuel the geyser. What scientists are saying is that there’s no link between the increased activity and any potential looming eruption of Yellowstone’s supervolcano. “Yellowstone has an incredible geyser system that is unrelated to magmatic activity—other than the magmatic system basically providing heat,” tweeted one volcanologist. USA Today noted that the Waimangu Geyser in New Zealand has managed to shoot water taller than Steamboat has, but it’s been more than a century since it has erupted.

Bono Says He Almost Died While Making U2 Album

12 Year Old Steals Moms Credit Card.. Heads on Vacation

A 12-year-old Australian boy has pulled off a bold feat that drew international headlines: He stole his mom’s credit card and managed to fly to Bali, Indonesia, for a posh, four-day vacation before getting caught. As recounted in the Australian program A Current Affair, the boy did some research online and figured out he could fly alone without needing a letter from a parent on Jetstar Airways. He nabbed his mom’s credit card, tricked his grandmother into giving him his passport, took a train to the airport, and flew to Bali. “They just asked for my student ID and passport to prove that I’m over 12 and that I’m in secondary school,” says the boy, identified only as Drew. He then checked into a four-star hotel, having made reservations in advance, telling the clerk that his older sister would be joining him soon. And there he stayed, having a fine time while his panicked mom reported him as missing back home. It wasn’t until the boy posted a video of himself in the hotel pool that his vacation finally came to an end. “I was shocked and disgusted, there’s no emotion to feel what we felt when we found out that he’d left overseas,” says mom, per news.com.au. One reason she’s ticked: Her son had actually tried this stunt twice before, only to be turned away at the airport by Qantas and Garuda Airlines. Mom says she was informed her son’s passport would be flagged by federal authorities as a result, but that apparently never happened. In the aftermath, Jetstar promises to tighten up its policies. “He just doesn’t like the word no and that’s what I got, a kid in Indonesia.”

Apparently 82 of the museum’s 140 works are phony, spotted at times because they contained buildings constructed after Terrus died in 1922. Acclaimed for his landscapes of French Catalonia, Terrus was close with artists Aristide Maillol and Henri Matisse and lived mostly in Elne, a town on the Tech River that’s less than three miles from the Mediterranean coast of Languedoc-Roussillon. The museum spent over $190,000 acquiring paintings they thought were his. But the Terrus likely isn’t alone: Art experts say at least one in five paintings in the world’s top museums may well be fake. Shop In RI 5

North Providence is finally getting the restaurant they 401-353-0500 have been waiting for! Until just recently, February to be exact, no one in the are was serving a true farm fresh, scratch made breakfast & lunch; but two brothers and their Chef have changed that, and the locals are raving!

Offering Winter Cooking Classes! Christopher Howe, Jr., is a life long Rhode Islander,

owning & operating Providence Fire Restoration for Group & Private 30+ years. His younger brother Michael, a Johnson & Wales trainedClasses Chef, andavailable. owner/operator of two other restaurants, has lived in Chicago for 30+ years as well. a wonderful gift! They hadMakes always talked about opening a restaurant together, and when Chris came across the space located at 1525 Smith Street, they decided it was finally time. Michael was fortunate to be able to bring out Sarah Bleich as the Chef & General Manager in early 2019. Sarah was a former student of his from his teaching days in Chicago. While in Chicago, she worked in several restaurants, two of them being Michelin Star establishments. She then moved and worked in one of Michael’s other farm-to-table restaurant in Omaha, NE, called The Grey Plume, where she taught sold out cooking classes on the weekends. The idea for Howie’s was simple: fresh, great tasting, scratch-made meals prepared by utilizing as many locally sourced products as possible. They set out and developed friendships with over 15 farms in Rhode Island and the New England area. Places like: Baffoni’s Poultry Farm (Johnston), Sprout Organic Farms (Providence), Wright’s Dairy Farm (North Smithfield), and North Country Smokehouse (Claremont, NH) to name just a few. Preparing items in house is a big art of what Howie’s does. Offering a wide range of breakfast and lunch items, there is really something for everyone. They make their own breakfast sausage, chorizo, “soyrizo” (vegan chorizo), salad dressing, and, their most popular item, corned beef hash. Utilizing beef from Maine Family Farms (Portland, ME), they dry cure the beef for 8 days, then slow cook at low temperatures (to keep it moist!) for up to 24 hours where it becomes pull apart tender. Then then combine those chunks of delicious corned beef with roasted local potatoes, and 14 Shop In RI

a gravy made from the drippings, for the most delicious Corned Beef Hash Skillet you will ever try! If you are fortunate enough to come in when the Pork Belly Grilled Cheese & Carrot Soup is on the menu, you won’t be disappointed. It was a 2019 Taste of Rhode Island Winner. Quite an accomplishment for a restaurant that was only open a few months! The Avocado Toast is another popular item. Utilizing thick chunks of cut-to-order avocado, combined with lime juice, tomatoes, and seasoning, it is spread on thick grilled Buono’s Bakery (Providence) whole grain bread , herb aioli, sunny-side eggs, pea shoots and small house salad. Scratch the egg if you want to go vegan. And…speaking of vegan...there are many vegan and gluten free options available as well. Just recently, Howie’s received their liquor license, so now you can enjoy seasonal cocktails as well as traditional favorites like Bloody Mary’s, Irish Cold Brew, Mimosa, “Adult” Coffee Milk, and local beers and wine. Something for everyone!

Not only is Howie’s a terrific place to eat, but this winter, you can take cooking classes with their head chef! These classes are a great way to spend time indoors doing something you love or have always wanted to learn. It’s a fun date night too, or maybe a way to meet new people if you are new to the area. Classes will be taught by Sarah Friday nights from 5:30 -8:30. January 3rd - Latin Cuisine $75

Learn to make tortillas from scratch and create mouth-watering pork tacos, Spanish rice and fresh salsa. Also top it off with a glass of sangria! January 17th - Couple's Super Bowl Sides $80

What’s the super bowl without wings, mini barbeque bacon pulled pork sliders with a twist on the traditional sauce and why not use that pork to create delicious pulled pork jalapeno poppers. January 31st - Pho $75

This Thai style pho is what general manager/chef Sarah grew up eating back in California since a baby. Learn to balance the many flavors and create a deep broth that will be your go to anytime you need a rich bowl of soup. February 14th - Couple's Date Night $80

Spend an evening creating a beautiful and brag worthy meal. You’ll be able to recreate this meal with confidence and be the star at your own couple’s dinner. Meal will include creamy risotto, seared scallops and chocolate mousse for dessert. February 21st - Soups and Stews $75

The key to any great soup is the broth. Learn the technique of mastering the perfect stock. Class includes creamy butternut squash soup along with beef and barley stew to take home! Cost is per student. Classes run from 6:00-8:30. Payment due upon registration. Cancelations within 48 hours of the class will be subject to forfeiture of registration cost You should DEFINITELY get over to Howie’s this week! Weekends are crowded, so expect to wait. However, you can enjoy a hot cup of their fresh ground, fresh brewed coffee while your waiting. Trust us…it’ll be worth it. You will have finally found your new spot!

CLAMS CASINO

I’ve had Clams Casino in many different forms. Back when I worked in Italian restaurants in New York, we would make a breadcrumb mixture, press it onto a freshly opened whole clam, and then place a small piece of bacon on top before it went into the oven. It was good, but the clam often stuck to the shell, and many people didn’t want to gulp down a whole clam like that. When it was time for me to make my own recipe, I decided that I would chop the clams and mix them into the breadcrumb mix, so that every bite was the same.

Ingredients: 2 tablespoons olive oil 1/3 cup finely chopped Vidalia or other sweet onion (about a 1/2 an onion) 2 garlic cloves, squeezed through a garlic press 1/3 cup dry white wine 1/3 cup unflavored bread crumbs 1 tablespoon fresh Italian parsley, finely chopped 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano Freshly cracked black pepper 2 dozen medium neck clams 1/3 lb. bacon, cut in small squares to fit the clam shells Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Directions:

Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the onions, and sauté them until they’re translucent. Add the garlic, and cook for 10 seconds. Add the wine and simmer for a minute. Add the bread crumbs, and stir the mixture until it becomes thicker, like a paste. Add the parsley and oregano. Season with pepper. (There’s going to be plenty of salt in the clam juice and bacon, so no salt is needed). Remove the pan from the heat and let it cool. It’s time to open the clams. If you know how to do that, open them over a sieve with a bowl underneath so that the clam meats and juices are captured. Discard any broken shells, but save the good ones. Bring a large pot of water to boil, and drop the clams into it, about 10 at a time, for 30 seconds. Don’t let them open! Remove the clams with a slotted spoon and place them in a bowl to cool. Continue doing this in small batches until all the clams have been in the water. You’ll find this makes opening the clams much easier. Then proceed as above. Once you’ve shucked all the clams, let the clam juice sit for a bit, so that any grit settles to the bottom of the bowl. Then pour off the clean clam juice and add it to your bread crumb mixture. (Don’t worry if it looks soggy at this point.) I like to hand chop the clam meats instead of using a food processor. You want tasty clam chunks, not too big but not mush. Add the clams to the the bread crumb mix. At this point, if the clam mix looks very soggy, simply add a little more bread crumb to dry it out.

Line a large baking sheet with foil. Separate the clam shell halves and wash them, making sure you don’t have any shell fragments left in the clam shell. Fill them with the clam mixture, mounding them slightly, and placing each one on the baking sheet. Cut the bacon in small squares to fit the clam shells. Place a small piece of raw bacon on the top of each clam. Bake until the clams are just cooked through, the topping is golden, and the bacon is cooked, about 30 minutes. 16 Shop In RI

FEELING GREAT By Susan Gazerro

ALL YEAR LONG

NOT JUST IN JANUARY BY SUSAN GAZERRO

Here we are again. It’s that time of year when we all contemplate what we intend to do for our New Year’s resolution. I’ll join the gym or eat healthier, I will lose weight or cut out sweets, etc. For most, this doesn’t last much beyond the month of January. It sounds good, but when it comes to seriously making the commitment, people just can’t seem to stick with it. This is where I preach that is not about losing weight, it’s about living a healthy lifestyle. Such a cliche, I know, but let me explain further. Any day in which you are blessed with awakening, can be the first day of your future. You are in control. Over and over again, I remind people of how much better they will feel when exercise is a natural part of their daily routine, part of their life style

36 Shop In RI

and part of who they are. You won’t just feel better physically, you will feel more energized, mentally. I do not agree with or like fad diets. Sure, they work initially. They work because you are shocking your body by drastically changing what the types of food you are eating. Or maybe you are on one of those appetite suppressant diets. Of course you are going to lose weight, but as soon as you are off the suppressants and revert back to your former eating habits, all of those pounds you thought you lost will be back with a vengeance. An appetite suppressant puts your body into a temporary starvation mode, where all of the food you do eat is stored as fat. Diets do not work long term. This is not a January fix. You need to make a choice to make a change

in your life! Once you realize you need to to take care of yourself, a new feeling of happiness will automatically fall into place. Furthermore, if exercise were part of your everyday life, you’d have more days where you feel that joy. Forget those days of wanting to just stay in bed, of not wanting to deal with people and not wanting to face life. Then there are a million excuses to not exercise. I’ve heard all of them. It’s really just a matter of how important it is that you feel your best, look your best and be your best. This time of year can be very challenging. It’s cold out, it gets dark early and let’s face it, unfortunately, the holidays are depressing for many people. For others, you might start feeling depressed

because of the weight you put on over the holidays. Try to push yourself from falling into a depressive state! You are in control. You get to choose whether you get up and work out or whether you stay in bed. You have that choice to exercise after work instead of going straight home to food. These are your choices. Make the right choice and do something good for you! When you don’t feel good physically, it’s very hard to be positive, and it’s even harder for others to want to be around you. No one wants to be around a negative person. I realize we all have “bad” days. I’m not saying every day is going to be a great day. I’m not saying you are going to be happy every day, however; when you feel good physically, there will be many more days of when you are happy and positive. The world feels like a different place when you are happy. This life is so short and so precious, why be unhappy when there is another choice, one that will be a positive influence on you and everyone around you? You have the power to change anything that is NOT working for you. You are in control of everything in your life and you need to believe that. Once you believe it, you give out good vibrations and the universe will repay you in ways you never knew existed. However; you can’t have this attitude if you are not feeling good about yourself and loving yourself. It all starts with how you feel physically and mentally. Stop allowing things and people to control who you are. Stop saying, “woe is me.” Stop letting stress cause you to sit around and eat. Stop making excuses to not eat healthy or to not exercise. STOP. Wake up tomorrow and say, “this is the first day of my new, healthy and happy life.”

and the universe will provide it.” You must believe and you must give out positive vibes. You can make yourself feel good. You can make yourself happy. Once this happens, the changes that will occur in your life will be amazing. You will be amazing!

“Self worth is so vital to your happiness. If you don’t feel good about you, it’s hard to feel good about anything else.”

Allow the universe to work in your favor. A friend once gave me some valuable information about how the universe can work on our behalf. It goes like this-“do not ask for something, expect it,

business from the ground up. From there he went to a much larger company out of Boston, Simon’s clothing, where he met Frank Burrows. The two of them became friends and when Simon’s owner fell ill and closed their Providence store, Frank and Roger jumped on the opportunity to open their own store. Franklin Rogers Ltd. started as a complete full line men’s clothing store. The store quickly became the suit store for Providence. Over the past several years, Gross has added a second floor to his operation which features The Groom Store, a custom suit department, and a full line tuxedo and prom department. He has expanded his selection of sizes and price points to be able to greatly broaden the store’s appeal. He has brought in Shoes and dressy clothing as well as broadened his selection of casual clothing. The store reflects what is happening today in fashion, and Gross will tell you that if is in GQ, Franklin Rogers already has it. Gross, who is going to turn 74 in February relies on his Staff to share the work load that he once handled all by himself. Where once the store sold four to five hundred suits a year, it now sells over three thousand. Gross himself handles much of the day to day operational duties, but relies on three department heads to make sure that things run smoothly.

The Groom Store.

Gross started the groom store business several years ago. He realized he could sell a suit or tuxedo with accessories for less money than it cost to rent one. “Why rent When You Can Own for Less”, is his motto, and it is catching on across the state with Brides and Grooms. The groom store has grown exponentially for its first five years and has exceeded all growth expectations. Laura Stanzione is the Groom Store Wedding Coordinator, and has years of experience in both design and fashion. She works closely with the Groom and his Bride in order to customize every wedding to the high expectations that her customers expect.

Nathan Viveiros

The Custom Suit Store.

In the last year Gross has added a new division, custom suits. In addition, he has joined forces with a very talented gentleman, Nathan Viveiros , who is a clothing stylist and designer. Nathan has brought an addition option to Franklin Rogers as he is an innovative stylist who will custom design a suit that is uniquely yours and certain to bring rave reviews by anybody who sees you wearing it. Our custom suit program includes a range of unique fabrics that come for the finest factories in Biella Italy. Our make is top of the line with full canvas chested jackets. We can even make a custom lining for our customers who might want to convert a picture they cherish into a lining for a suit.

Our Tailor Shop.

Most important to the operation is the Franklin Rogers Tailor shop. Still offering free tailoring on most of its product line, Gross has relied on Raissa Assad, the director of tailoring. Assad has worked for Gross for over fourteen years. She tailors,organizes, schedules the other tailors, and does the fittings for both Franklin Rogers and the Groom Store. Her expertise and knowledge of the craft helps make every suit look custom made. Franklin Rogers offers free validated parking at the Metropark, next to the Arcade.

Confused? Extended Care Health Care rance Life Insu Steven M. Gosetti, CLTC Insurance Agent

Q: Can I pay for life insurance with one premium rather than making monthly payments? A: Yes! These policies are often referred to as single premium whole life policies and are designed to consider any fees and life mortality rates in determining the premium amount. Based on these factors, you would pay a one-time lump sum into the policy upon acceptance and receive a death benefit for life. The younger you are, the lower the initial payment needed to receive a higher death benefit.

617.304.9694 | info@pix-ls.com | Pix-Ls.com

Q: I have an old life insurance policy and the company has informed me that it is going to lapse in the next year or so. What can I do? A: Your options depend on the type of policy you hold. However, I will assume that it is either a term policy or a universal life policy. If it is a term policy, then it is normal for the policy to expire because term policies are designed to last only for a specific period. If it is a universal life policy, then it is a bit more complicated. The most likely reason why the policy is going to lapse is that it may have been underfunded for years, meaning not enough premiums were paid into the policy. If this is the case, you may be able to increase the premiums to help keep the policy in force longer, as well as other options. Contacting the company or a licensed agent is the best thing to do â€Ś but do it soon. Feel free to send me your questions or contact me at:

BIG CHANGES HAPPENING AT SPINNAKER ASSET MANAGEMENT

By: Mark Berger

As the old decade turns into the new decade, Warwick-based Spinnaker Asset Management has taken positive steps to serve their clients and address their growing needs. Spinnaker President, Ronald Kent, recently hired Lisa Picillo as a new Financial Advisor. Her responsibilities include developing relationships with both new and existing clients, providing advice and financial planning services, and analyzing industry trends and educating clients. Picillo said the seeds for working at Spinnaker were sown roughly one year ago during a chance meeting at a networking event. “I had just started working at Merrill Lynch at the time I met Ron. For the next several months, we would meet for coffee and talk about the industry and markets. I realized our skill sets are complimentary and we share the same values and investment philosophy”. Ron offered me a position at Spinnaker early on and as we continued to meet, it was clear to me that it was time for me to make a change.” Kent said that Picillo, “checked all of the boxes” when it came to what he wanted in a Financial Advisor. “I wanted to find someone with industry experience who was stable, devoted, had a good personality and good at building relationships. Lisa has all of these qualities and is a great addition to shaping the future of this firm.” said Kent. Picillo has been in the investment industry for more than two decades. She began her career in Financial Services at Fleet Bank as a retail customer service representative in 1998. In 2004, after the Fleet and Bank of America merger, she continued her career with Bank of America and took on other roles including consumer loans, technical support, branch support and business analyst. In 2007, while expecting her twin girls, Picillo had the opportunity to obtain her Series 7. Upon obtaining her 48 Shop In RI

license, she began a position as an Investment Advisor Representative with Bank of America Investments. Shortly after the birth of her daughters, Picillo accepted a position as a Trader at Fidelity Investments. She held the role for two years before transitioning to a Client Manager within the Institutional Wealth Management Group, which she held until 2018. In addition to holding a Series 7, she holds Series 66 and RI life & Health. She graduated from Rhode Island College in 1998 with a Bachelor’s Degree in Communications. Picillo is married with 3 children and lives in North Smithfield, RI. Picillo believes strongly in giving back and helping others. She enjoys spending time volunteering in local schools and various non-profit organizations. TRADING PLACES… In addition to hiring Picillo, Kent announced that Spinnaker Asset Management has moved their office from Post Road to 400 Commonwealth Ave., Unit #7 in Warwick. Kent said the move was made to be more centrally located in town and to better serve their clients. Spinnaker works with individuals, families and small business owners to help them take the complexities out of their finances. They understand that clients have different lifestyles, priorities, values and goals. Working with clients, their focus is on developing suitable financial strategies to achieve both short and longterm goals that matter most clients.

DREAMING OF RETIRING EARLY? Here's Your Playbook

Adjust your saving and spending today. Once you have a clear idea of how much your dream retirement will cost, you can evaluate the potential tradeoffs and sacrifices necessary to make it happen. This will likely require reducing spending while maximizing the amount you are saving.

Continue investing for growth. It’s common

for retirees to adjust their investment allocation to be more conservative to protect their principal from potential market downturns or increased volatility. While this may make sense for some, it’s important for your portfolio to at least keep on pace with inflation. After all, retirement can easily last several decades. Even modest inflation can make a meaningful impact over that timeframe. Factoring inflation into your projections can help you maintain your purchasing power throughout retirement.

Don’t overlook health care expenses. Many

Currently trending in the media is the concept of an incredibly early retirement, called the FIRE (financial independence, retire early) movement. News outlets are printing stories of people successfully retiring in their 50s, 40s and even 30s. If you are intrigued by the idea of retiring early, you are probably wondering if moving your retirement date forward is something within your reach. As a financial advisor, I have seen firsthand how much work and dedication it takes to accomplish. But I can confirm that it is possible to retire early – it all comes down to what your dreams are for today, tomorrow and in retirement. Read on for some suggestions for how to assess if an early retirement is in the cards for you.

Define your dream retirement. A realistic early retirement plan doesn’t happen by chance. It takes careful planning and deliberate action. Before you can figure out how to make early retirement a viable option, take time to envision the kind of life you want to lead when you leave your primary career. Where will you live? What kind of activities do you plan to pursue? These are the types of questions that will help you define what you want your retirement to be like. Quantify your goal. Many retirees find they spend

more money in the early years of retirement because they have more time to travel and pursue hobbies. If this aligns with your retirement vision, be conservative in your estimate of how much money you need each year. Once you have an estimate of how much it will cost, you will be in a better position to map the steps you need to take to save for your future.

Decide which income source to tap into first. Once you know how much your early retirement will cost, you’ll want to line up the order in which you tap into your investments. How much income you need, the tax treatment of your investments, and the timing of when you’ll take Social Security are all factors to consider as you map out how you will create a paycheck in retirement.

52 Shop In RI

retirees are surprised by how much of their budget goes toward medical expenses. Don’t be one of them. Make finding health insurance a top priority. And, consider the pros and cons of purchasing longterm care insurance.

Be flexible. In life and investing, there are no

guarantees. Unexpected events can happen any time, and many have financial implications. Think about what your options are if your savings come up short, such as adjusting your retirement date, spending or perhaps picking up a part-time job, and make sure you have the right insurance in place to cover your various assets.

Retiring early is a big dream. If you want help

deciding if or how moving your retirement date forward is realistic for you, meet with a financial advisor. Together you can review your goals, investments, risk tolerance and other factors to help you make retirement decisions with confidence.

ROCCO BALDELLI

SHINES IN NEW ROLE AS TWINS MANAGER By Julia Romano At just 38 years old, Rhode Island native Rocco Baldelli has achieved excellence in more things than most do in a lifetime. From a very early age, Baldelli exhibited extraordinary determination in whatever he did, and that, combined with scores of natural talent, landed him as a star in Major League Baseball. Even after suffering several injuries throughout his career, Baldelli refused to give up. His tenacity, and passion for the sport of baseball, led him from centerfield, to exactly where he belongs-as manager of the Minnesota Twins. And in true Baldelli fashion, it didn’t stop there.

AFTER JUST ONE YEAR OF MANAGING THE TWINS, IN 2019, BALDELLI WAS THE YOUNGEST COACH EVER TO BE VOTED MANAGER OF THE YEAR AFTER LEADING MINNESOTA TO ITS FIRST AMERICAN LEAGUE CENTRAL TITLE SINCE 2010. Rocco was born in 1981 in Woonsocket, RI, to parents Dan and Michelle Baldelli. Throughout his younger years, Rocco, along with his brothers, Nicholas and Dante, played Little League baseball in Woonsocket, with their dad always on the field as the coach for all of their teams. While kids from other parts of the country practiced on an outside field year round, RI’s often inclement winter weather prevented Baldelli from that same amount of practice. But the freezing cold outside temperatures in RI fell short of stopping Baldelli from creating his own arena for practicing. Following his dad’s retirement from the Woonsocket Fire Department, he became a small business owner of various types,

including a coffee shop, located in Woonsocket. Baldelli was a driven young man, even as a pre-teen, and refused to lose out on critical practice time. He found a way to take advantage of his dad’s coffee shop’s basement to create a homemade batting cage. The Dungeon, as the basement was referred to, served its purpose better than could have been expected. At age 12, Baldelli played AAU baseball for the Rhode Island Tides and his team went all the way to the nationals. At age 13, while playing basketball, another sport he excelled in, he shattered his tibia, severely injuring the tendons in his leg. The extent of his injury based on the opinion of several doctors, could have taken Baldelli away from participating in any sport. But after a bit of coaxing from his dad, Baldelli tried out for the local American Legion team after being off the field for a long two years. Although he had a rough start, Baldelli made the team. This accomplishment was the stepping stone to his next couple of years at Bishop Hendricken High School in Warwick, where he mastered a total of four sports and was recipient of all-state honors in baseball, basketball, indoor track, and volleyball. Baldelli didn’t stop there-he was also an exceptional student, receiving high honors in all of his classes, earning an amazing 4.25 GPA. In the summer before his senior year of high school, Baldelli attended a baseball scouting program at Holy Cross College in Worcester, Massachusetts, where his skills became highly visible to many major league organizations. At the 1999 East Coast Showcase in Wilmington, North Carolina, he received a whopping 50 scholarship offers from various colleges after impressing scout observers, and that was just for baseball. Baldelli was also an elite, talented volleyball player, known throughout the country for his skills on the court and, thus, received a UCLA scholarship offer to play volleyball. It was time to choose which sport had won him over. Prior to the MLB 2000 draft, Baldelli had still not chosen which path he would take for his future. Not confident that he would be chosen before the 5th or 6th round, he, along with his family, agreed that he would attend college unless he was chosen in the first round pick. Well, as fate would have it, Baldelli was drafted by the Tampa Bay Devil Rays in the first round as their first pick; he was the sixth pick overall. Baldelli started with the Rookie-level Princeton Devil Rays that year. In 2001, he played for the South Atlantic League’s River Dogs Class A team. In 2002, he played at three levels, promoted from High-A to Double A to Triple A, and was named the Minor League Player of the Year by Baseball America. In 2003, Baldelli took his spot where he belonged-in centerfield of the major leagues with the Devil Rays. Starting his major-league career with a 13game hitting streak, he earned the second longest streak to start a career between 1990 and 2003. In 2004, Baldelli had many ups and downs with injuries. But having complete faith in his abilities, manager Lou Piniella convinced Baldelli of the team’s commitment to him as the starter in center field. This relaxed Baldelli, and as a result, his hitting improved dramatically. A hamstring strain limited Baldelli to 136 games that year, but he hit .280 and his home runs increased to 16 in total. The next injuries seemed to happen one after another. There was a torn knee ligament, followed by an elbow injury, a torn ulnar collateral ligament, and another strained hamstring. As a result of all of these injuries, Baldelli missed the entire 2005 season, but played again in 2006 and 2007. In

“It’s the people, it’s the respect, more than anything it’s setting a tone by how you’re going to treat everyone every day. It’s easy to talk about, it’s easy to say this at the beginning of the year, but you’ve got to kind of act it out, live it every single day and treat people well. You want everyone to show up every day with a smile on their face, and really enjoy what they’re doing.” - Rocco Baldelli on winning AL Manager of the Year April of 2007, Baldelli experienced another misfortune after he crashed into the outfield wall. His playing suffered and in mid-May after yet another hamstring injury, he was on the injured list for the rest of the season. At this point, Baldelli was having frequent muscle cramping and severe fatigue, occurring even after minimal exercise. After being examined by several physicians, Baldelli was diagnosed with a mitochondrial disorder, a defect in the energy-producing part of the body’s cells. But he was not willing to give in to this condition. He returned to play 28 regular-season games in August and September. He hit two home runs in postseason play, including a three-run homer in the ALCS victory that helped propel the Rays to the World Series. In 2009, Baldelli was re-diagnosed with a protein abnormality that interferes with muscular function. This new diagnosis came when Baldelli joined the Red Sox as a free agent in 2009. Playing for the Red Sox was a “childhood dream” for Baldelli, especially since most of his family were avid Red Sox fans. During spring training 2010, Baldelli returned to the Tampa Bay Rays as a special assistant to observe and coach players in the organization’s minor league system on baserunning and outfield defense. In June and July of 2010, he played for Tampa’s minor league teams. On September 1, Baldelli was called up to the major league squad to serve as a designated hitter, pinch hitter and reserve outfielder. On September 5, in his first at-bat since returning to the Rays’ roster, Baldelli hit an 8th inning pinch hit 2-run home run against the Baltimore Orioles in Camden Yards and finished the game in right field. This was Baldelli’s last appearance as a player. The effects of the muscular disease, his shoulder injury, combined with Lyme Disease he had contracted as a teenager, were taking their toll, and in 2011, Baldelli retired. Throughout his career as a baseball player, even with all of his injuries and his muscular functioning disorder, Baldelli never gave up-not on his team, the game, or his will to play. Most would have thrown in the towel. But Baldelli is not a quitter. No matter what physical pain he has had, he never let it keep him down. His ambition was much too strong for that. With all of his remarkable abilities, including his achievements as a student, he could have been whatever he wanted to be. He chose baseball, and as he did with everything else in his life, he put full force effort into it and that’s how he succeeded. Rocco Baldelli has accomplished some incredible things in just 38 years-and his fellow Rhode Islanders could not be more proud of him. Shop In RI 79
