Passenger Plane Breaks Record Speed Topping 825mph

Flightradar24 says you can fly from New York to London in 6 1/4 hours. British Airways just set a new record by doing it in a stunning 4 hours and 56 minutes. The Boeing 747 went overnight and beat the times of two other speedy planes, both Virgin Atlantic, by one minute and three minutes. So what gives? The BA flight flew to London as Storm Ciara "hurtled towards the UK and Ireland on the back of a 200mph jet stream," says the Evening Standard. According to Euro Weekly News, the storm's winds helped British Airlines (and Virgin) break the old record of five hours, 13 minutes, set by Norwegian Airlines in January 2018. Interesting side fact: Even though British Air's top speed of 825mph was faster than the speed of sound—767 miles per hour—it didn't break the sound barrier because wind around the plane was pushing it. In other words, the Boeing 747 was moving at less than the speed of sound compared to the air surrounding it.

Judge Sides With Passenger Over Uber's Fine Print Raise your hand if you read through all the fine print of Uber's "terms and conditions" when downloading the app. Somewhere in there is a clause stipulating that you won't sue and must instead settle any dispute through binding arbitration. But a Philly judge sided with a passenger and allowed her to sue over an accident in which she suffered a fractured spine. Jillian Kemenosh was sitting in the back seat when her Uber driver ran a red light and crashed into another vehicle, the newspaper reports. She sued the company and the driver, preferring that a jury determine what she is owed. Uber then argued that

Class Ring Lost 47 Years Ago in Maine Pops Up in Finland Shawn and Debra McKenna were high school sweethearts who were married for four decades before he died in 2017 after a long battle with cancer. Earlier this month, Debra McKenna received a sweet reminder of the man she'd loved, from the most unexpected place. The Bangor Daily News relayed how this story started, in 1973, when the two were still students at Maine's Morse High School and newly dating. Before Shawn headed off to college that fall, he gave McKenna his class ring—which she soon lost. She recalls that she'd gone to use the bathroom at a Portland department store, taken the ring off while washing her hands, and left the bathroom without remembering to put the ring back on. "I left my name and number ut never got contacted by anybody, and that was it," she says. "I never saw the ring

again." Enter Marko Saarinen, who recently stumbled across the ring while using his metal detector in a forest—in Kaarina, Finland, 47 years after McKenna had lost it. Saarinen contacted the Morse High School alumni group, and because Shawn was the only person in the class of 1973 with the initials "SM," which were engraved on the ring, it was easy to determine it was his. To add another layer of weird, Saarinen is a shipbuilder, and "Shipbuilders" is the Morse High School mascot. McKenna, who tells the Daily News she still feels "adrift" since her husband's death, wonders if this is a sign from him. "He's telling me to get my act together. To get going with the rest of my life," she says. She's still curious, though, on where the ring has been for nearly 50 years. Shop In RI 5 Shop In RI 5

The History of St. Joseph’s Day By Julia Romano

Saint Joseph was born in Galilee in the first century BC. He was a carpenter by trade. There is little known about the early life of Saint Joseph; most of what has been reported about Saint Joseph comes from the New Testament.

Joseph to escape with his family because King Herod was aiming to kill the infant. The Holy Family spent some time in Egypt, but later returned home a er another angel told him that it was safe for them to return to Galilee.

What is known is that Joseph wed Mary, who was somewhat younger than him. Upon discovering that she was pregnant, he divorced her. If Joseph had publicly spurned her, Mary could have been stoned to death. Instead, Joseph a empted to ensure that no harm came either to Mary or her unborn child. Later, Joseph had a vision of an angel who told him that Mary’s child was the Son of God.

A er returning home, Joseph is believed to have taught Jesus the cra of carpentry. Here, the future saint lived the quiet and humble life of an ordinary worker. There is only one more mention of Joseph in the Bible, when he is searching for the twelve year old Jesus who had gone missing on pilgrimage. Following this, Saint Joseph is never again mentioned in the New Testament.

A er Jesus’ birth in Bethlehem, another angel appeared and told 20 20 Shop Shop In In RI RI

Saint Joseph is thought to have lived until he was 109. It is believed that he passed away before

Jesus began his ministry and prior to Jesus’ crucifixion. Saint Joseph is the patron saint of workers because of his trade as a carpenter and his humble and modest life. He’s also been credited with many miracles over the centuries and many of these have occurred in recent years. One of the other miracles he was credited with was curing a woman of cancer a er she regularly prayed to him. Another miracle of St. Joseph is said to have occurred during a typhoon in the Philippines, where there was widespread devastation. The only thing le untouched and standing was a statue of Saint Joseph. Joseph’s faith was simple, and al-

most childlike. Pope Francis, a firm admirer of Saint Joseph, described him as “a strong man of silence.” He lived a quiet life, but one that was rich in faith and love.

the Louisiana city was a major port of immigration for Italians from Sicily in the late 19th century. At the time, the French Quarter was even nicknamed “Li le Palermo.”

St. Joseph's Day always occurs during Lent, therefore, meals on this day consist only of meatless dishes. In Italy, it is a tradition to serve food that contains bread crumbs, which represent the saw dust of St. Joseph when he was a carpenter. His feast day is celebrated as a sort of Father’s Day in some Catholic countries like Portugal, Spain and Italy.

Federal Hill in Providence Celebrates St. Joseph’s Day If you are of Italian descent, food is very important and is what brings friends and families together at any celebration. St. Joseph’s Day is no exception. Federal Hill is recognized as one of the top culinary destinations in the country with many award-winning restaurants. Also known as “Li le Italy,” the restaurants on “the Hill” will tantalize your taste buds with dishes from many regions of the country. Visit one of Federal Hill’s exquisite Italian restaurants to celebrate with your family on St. Joseph’s Day.

Many Italian-Americans, especially Sicilians, celebrate Saint Joseph, since he is regarded as their patron saint. A story reveals that during a terrible famine in Sicily, villagers prayed to St. Joseph to end the famine – the famine did end and the people celebrated with a special feast dedicated to the saint, according to Catholic Culture. From then on, well-to-do families prepared large meals for less fortunate locals, especially for the ill and the homeless. On St. Joseph’s Day, it is customary for people to wear the color red and to bring a variety of food to the table. The altar is also donned with flowers, candles, and wine: this is known as “St. Joseph’s Table” or “la tavola di San Giuseppe." Fava beans are one of the most important items to be brought to the table since during droughts, the crop thrived while all others failed, FishEaters.com wrote. Lemons, like fava beans, are also imperative on the St. Joseph’s Table since they’re known to bring good luck. St. Joseph’s Day is also very popular in New Orleans, since

Especially on St. Joseph’s Day, bakeries on Historic Federal Hill and many, many others throughout RI, offer the most luscious and decadent Italian pastry called Zeppole. The Zeppole is a Neapolitan pastry first created in the 1800s by Don Pasquale Pintauro and is the traditional dessert of St. Joseph’s Day. Zeppole is baked or fried dough filled with either cream or custard, then topped with powdered sugar and a cherry…squisito! To celebrate St. Joseph’s Day in 2020, dine at one of Federal Hill’s exquisite restaurants for a delicious Italian meal and then indulge in a creamy zeppole from any one of the Hill’s Italian bakeries. Be sure to bring home a box of Zeppole to your loved ones and they will be delighted! Visit Federalhillprov.com for a list of all Italian dining options on “the Hill.”

DIRECTIONS

Zeppolles Recipe

Pour about 2 inches of oil into a 3-quart pot and heat over medium-high flame.

INGREDIENTS

Add in eggs, vanilla and ricotta and stir to fully incorporate. The consistency will be like a thick batter.

1 cup flour 2 1/4 teaspoons baking soda 1/4 cup sugar 1 cup ricotta 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 2 eggs, well beaten Powdered sugar, for garnish Vegetable vegetable oil for frying

When oil is hot (about 375 degrees), start frying in small batches of 3 or 4 at a time using about 1 tablespoon of batter for each zeppola. The batter will puff up when dropped in the hot oil.

Combine all dry ingredients in a medium mixing bowl.

Fry about 3 minutes or until deeply and evenly browned on all sides, flipping over about half way through. Transfer fried zeppole to paper towels to absorb excess oil and garnish liberally with powdered sugar. Zeppole are best when warm, but can be served up to 2-3 hours after cooking.

Our Semi-Annual Sale

It is that time again. Our semi-annual sale is on until the end of March. Year after year we see some of the smartest and savvy shoppers in Rhode Island come into our store to pick up an incredible array of items at jaw dropping prices. Our prices can’t be beat. We have designer suits from $99-$199. This includes designer suits by Jack Victor, English Laundry, Paul Betenly, Renoir, Paul Bastian, and more. We have all sorts of styles, colors, and fabrics. In addition, we don’t charge to tailor your suit. We will gladly shorten or lengthen the sleeves on your jacket, take your waist in or out, your seat in or out, and your crotch in or out. We will gladly give you a cuff, or plain bottom, all for free. Where other stores charge for tailoring, we do it for free. Our goal is very simple, we want you to come back time and again and buy from us. We are not a chain store that sends the goods to out of state tailoring factories. We do our alterations right here in Little Rhody. In addition to our Suit sale, we have a tremendous selection of quality sportscoats for sale at $99-$199. This section includes solids, plaids, Donegal’s, and herringbones. We have slim fit, modern fit, and full cut as well. We have sportscoats from many of our exclusive designers as well. We even have some heavyweight sport coats with zip up fronts that really come in handy this time of year. We also have a fabulous selection of wool gaberdine, wool flannel, and stretch wool

slacks made in Italy, all reduced for clearance. These slacks are perfect to coordinate with our sport jackets. To top everything off, we have a huge selection of dress shoes at half price. We have all the latest looks and styles, in all the fashion colors. We have sizes from 8 ½ to 13. We have dress shows, boots, loafers, drivers, dress sneakers, and the like. We also have a great selection of brogues, cap toes, wingtips, two tones, solids and boots. We have a group of shoes that have a comfort gel heal that makes you feel like you are walking on air. When we first got them in a few years ago, I was at the point where my feet were so sore at the end of the day that I would have to start wearing those ugly orthopedic shoes that you sometimes see on people. To my surprise and delight I am able to wear the latest looks and fashions due to the construction of our comfort gel shoes. Believe me, come in and try a pair at half price, and see if the old dogs don’t feel a lot better than they used to. In addition, we have all our wonderful sweaters from 50%-70%. We have a selection of designer sweaters by Schott, at 50% off the MSRP. You just can’t beat that. We have an array of dress shirts from $10-$29. These shirts sold for as much as $85. We have a great section of dree ties at 3 for $25. And Designer ties that were from $40$75. Now $19.95, with buy two get one free. So, stock up now for the rest of this season or for next fall. The bargains are plentiful, and the selection is spectacular. Remember one thing: the best pieces go early, so don’t wait too long!

Lang’s Bowlarama Celebrates Six Decades

The Nelson Event Center finds its niche as a fun party-central destination.

By Mark Berger

Tucked away on Niantic Avenue in Cranston, just beyond the outstretched traffic of Rte. 10, lies a Rhode Island institution that has seen its fair share of trends and events passing through. As the time comes to acknowledge their 60 years in business this coming October 2, they have not forgotten their roots to the community. Instead, they are forging a new path toward the future. Lang’s Bowlarama, a third-generation, family owned company, has 40 ten-pin lanes and has developed quite a reputation for league play. They have the biggest bowling league presence in the state, the oldest bowling league established in Rhode Island and the largest men’s bowling league. While bowling has come and gone in popularity over the decades, Events and Media Manager Michelle St. Vincent said the exposure it receives on television helps to appeal to all age groups and has helped bring the sport back into prominence. “We have teenage kids come in and try it out first, then they might purchase a bowling ball for themselves and then ultimately, join a league,” said St. Vincent. “Bowling has come a long way from the dingy, smokefilled alleys to state-of-the-art bowling centers where the customers come from all walks of life. There are leagues for all ages and experience levels. What I find most interesting is how people come and find out how

competitive they can become.” St. Vincent said that technology has also played a key role in its resurgence. With electronic scoring replacing tallying scores with pencils and paper, surfaces and cores of the bowling balls and the improved lanes, bowlers have more variety and develop new skills that they can apply in their game. Lang’s has many promotions throughout the week and hosts various business and family-oriented functions. St. Vincent touts “Ladies’ Night” every Thursday night from 9:00 PM to close, where they can bowl unlimited for $6. “Military Appreciation Day” happens all day from Monday through Wednesday. All active, retired and reserve military personnel who show their Military ID can bowl for $1 per game and rent shoes for $1. There is also “College Night” Monday through Wednesday from 9:00 PM to close, show your valid College ID and bowl unlimited for $7. The facility will host the First Annual Ocean State Championship Tournament in Memory of Founder Ed Lang. Sanctioned by the United States Bowling Congress, this event begins during the first week of June and runs throughout the month. Single competitors and teams can participate for a chance of winning thousands of dollars in cash and prizes.

event center

Edward Lang was a larger-than-life character. He held various jobs—including that of a limousine driver, a roller skating messenger and A.T. Cross Pencil Company (the company would later add pens to their repertoire with his help)—before setting foot in Rhode Island and opening Lang’s Bowlarama. His son, Bruce, would eventually run the facility after working at among others places, CBS News. The Lang’s leased the center to another bowling chain in 1983; by 2012 the center had fallen into a state of neglect and it seemed the Lang’s era was over. However, Ed Lang’s grandsons, Rich and Dave, stepped up to the plate and restored the center to its former glory and they have remained open ever since. Lang’s Bowlarama is also great for fundraising events and other activities. Their events often include two hours of bowling, shoe rentals, one large pizza and a pitcher of soda. They also put on car shows, craft fairs, Halloween parties and visits from Santa Claus. The Lounge at Lang’s offers 20 beers on tap, large televisions, where you can watch all the games, mouth-watering appetizers including chicken tacos and chicken wings. For additional details about their numerous events and functions and pricing, please contact Michelle St. Vincent at 401-944-0500, ext. 1007. Information may also be found on their Facebook and Instagram accounts.

One of the improvements that took place after the family rebranded the facility was adding a separate function center for events, parties and other business activities. Attached to, but separate from the Bowlarama, The Nelson Event Center is an alternative destination for the mundane or already tried-and true. The space is newly renovated, has a state-of-theart kitchen with a full catering menu devoted to accommodating larger gatherings. The Nelson is great for corporate meetings and is equipped with a 16-foot projector and sound system. The Center is ADA compliant, has a full cash bar, its own separate entrance and facilities. Sales and Event Manager Kayla Girard said The Nelson holds many functions ranging from weddings, engagements, and milestone birthdays to team building, corporate meetings, annual meetings and anything else in your life worth celebrating. “We have the ability to hold an event of up to 125 people and renting the room is affordable at $250 for the first three hours and $75 for each hour thereafter,” Girard said. “We can dress the space up as much or as little as you like.” To book your next event or function at The Nelson Event Center, please contact Kayla Girard at 401944-0500, ext. 1002.

Live a Longer, Healthier Life By Susan Gazerro The latest statistic is that less than one in three people maintain proper body weight. What and how we eat is probably the largest contributor to the epidemic of weight gain. However, lack of exercise is just as, if not more, at fault. We are such an unhealthy country when it comes to diet. Are we making advances yes, but we still have a long way to go. I will talk more about nutrition further but right now let’s talk exercise and movement. Today, “avoiding sitting in front of a screen” means more than just the television. I’m sure many of you can remember your parents warning you to stop watching so

much television. Well today it’s all the added technology we sit with and in front of. Everything from phones, to tablets, to computers, etc. There was a study done in which 9,000 adults were followed and monitored for seven years. The study revealed that for every additional hour spent watching TV, sitting at a computer, texting on your phone, or playing video games, per day, increased risk of death by 11%. The screen(s) themselves are not life-shortening. They do not have a deadly ray projecting through the device. What’s causing the increase in deaths is the act of “sitting” and “watching,” which has replaced almost all physical activity.

Another study was conducted by the American Cancer Society. This study followed more than 100,000 participants, over a fourteen-year period and found that men who sit for more than six hours a day have a 20% higher death rate compared to men who sit for three hours or less. Women who sit for six or more hours per day have a 40% higher death rate. I am aware that many of our “jobs” have us in front of a desk for eight or more hours per day. However; there are options that can help you move away from sitting the entire day. Consider getting a standing desk. Standing rather than sitting can burn up to fi y extra calories

the American College of Sports Medicine formerly recommended thirty minutes per day. Personally, I recommend 30 to 45 minutes per day, but it doesn’t have to be all at once. You can add a little exercise before, during, or a er work. Find the time. Make it a priority.

per hour. That may not seem like much, but if you can burn an extra 200-300 calories per a day at work, that’s a pretty significant benefit. Consider walking on your lunch break. Take a few laps around the office or go outside when you take any break during the day. Park further away from your office and take more steps. Every extra step counts! Wake up a few minutes earlier than usual and take a quick walk. Walk a er work or a er dinner. There are definitely ways to keep active; the problem is we don’t want to. “I get up early enough.” “I get home late and I’m tired.” “My favorite show is on television.” I could go on and on, but the reality is you will have more energy if you fit exercise in as part of your routine. And let’s be honest, today you can record or go back and watch any episode you may have missed of your favorite show. There are no excuses. You could even move while watching TV. You could do jumping jacks or walk on a treadmill or use the elliptical. If you don’t have this equipment at home, you can certainly run in place. The real key is to adopt a more active lifestyle. All of these little changes will help to increase your activity and reduce your risk of disease and death. People ask me all the time, “how much should I be exercising?” The official recommendation for physical activity for adults is 150 minutes of moderate aerobic exercise per week, which averages about twenty minutes per day. This is actually down from the previous recommendation. The Center for Disease Control and

As far as nutrition, we are making advances and learning more about the processed, unhealthy foods we feed our body, but we still have a long way to go. My advice when it comes to eating is to “eat clean.” Processed foods are poison to our bodies. If you are not sure about a product, read the ingredients. It still holds true that if you can’t pronounce an ingredient it’s probably not good for you. Anything and everything natural is not only good for you, it’s probably healing in some way. I always say that every medicine we need is found in a food in its natural form. Take care of your body and it will take care of you. Feeling good physically makes you feel great mentally.

The same thing applies to nutrition. Meal prepping The second tip is something that I believe is often underestimated. Some of you may have already established this and others may not have given it too much thought. Either way, I’m willing to bet that only a small number of you have really sat down and mapped this out in detail. I’m talking about your WHY? Let’s state the obvious example; you are overweight, you don’t workout, and you’re not happy with that. Of course the reason why you’re on this journey is to lose weight and feel good. This is an example and doesn’t apply to everyone, but my point is that if you can sit down, grab a pen and some paper, (if you keep a journal-bonus points) and think about all of the reasons why this is important to you. You may have set a long term goal to lose 20 lbs. and build strength; write this down and underneath, list all of the reasons you want to achieve this goal. Once that is set, dig a little deeper and think about some other reasons why this is so important. For example, if you have children, you may want to have more energy to keep up with them. Do you want to be strong and healthy, so you reduce your risk of health issues that can arise from poor diet and no exercise? Do you want to have more mental clarity? Are you ShopInRI stressed often, and exercise is how 46 you’re going to relieve stress? It could be that you have a very active dog and you would love to take

and eating the same foods enable us to stick to a consistent diet, but there are so many delicious healthy foods and recipes out there to try. If you workout in the evenings, do a couple of morning workouts if you can. Notice how you feel. You may realize that working out in the morning is a terrible idea for you, or you may actually love it, but you’ll never know if you never do it. Healthy eating and exercise should be something you’re excited about. I know that you’re not going to feel excitement all of the time and that’s fine. You may dread starting a workout, but you know once you start, you love the way it makes you feel during and after. This is not a short term change. If you want to be fit and healthy for life, then you have to make it a part of everything important in your life. Like any commitment, you have to make it a priority, feel a sense of purpose, and find what best fits your personality. Love yourself enough to know that you deserve the best. If you’ve made it this far, there’s no reason to stop now. Always remember that there’s never a bad time to start, resolutions can be made at any time of the year, not just on January 1st.

MEET THE

FRASERS

Makes its Debut and is a RI Born Riot! by Julia Romano

Picture this if you can...a pretty naked girl and a naked “pretty boy,” both in a shower, where they are desperately trying to wash and keep hold of three cats, one of which leaves payback- a huge pile of poop, causing them to freak out. This is just one of the comical scenes that will make you laugh out loud on Meet the Frasers. Matt Fraser and his stunning beauty-queen girlfriend, 21 year old Alexa Papigiotis, along with many unforgettable funny family members from both sides of their families, have put Little Rhody on the map with their new hit TV reality show “Meet the Frasers.” I’m not quite sure why it is that I totally get the humor of the show’s characters and that I also find their interactions hilarious. If you’ve seen the show, you’ll likely understand where I’m coming from. I also question why it is that I find the show so amusing; is it because I am also a native Rhode Islander and all so familiar with the characters’ “unique dialect,” or that I can relate to some of the characters because my nationality is also Italian, or maybe it’s a combination of both? What I can say is that so far I’ve watched four episodes and look forward to the rest of the season because my family and I find hilariously funny. The main star of the E! Entertainment network show is Matt Fraser, a 28 year old psychic medium who has 44 Shop In RI

the ability to entertain audiences by connecting to loved ones who have passed on. That in itself is something that is television worthy, but it doesn’t even come close to stopping there. Matt has a spontaneous quick wit, combined with a sort of obnoxious humor that even the dead he connects with would find comical! His offcolor expressive mockery when interacting with his family members could possibly be misunderstood, but only by those who were born lacking a sense of humor. Matt’s life is full of many blessings and the best one of them is the relationship between him and his girlfriend, Alexa Papigiotis, winner of the 2017 Miss Teen USA pageant. Together, as they dress in color coordinated outfits just because they want to, it appears that these two were made for each other, and their back and forth playful bantering only adds to the show’s humor. Alexa is eager to get married, but Matt is clear about waiting until he’s ready, but it’s clear that they will definitely head to the altar, and likely sooner than later. When it comes to keeping up with Matt’s humor, Alexa is well equipped with her own comebacks. The dynamic duo have a well balanced relationship, totally supporting each other when it comes to professional goals. Matt recently wrote a book entitled, “When Heaven Calls,” his story about growing up as a psychic, and it was published by the well known Simon and Schuster

publishing company. Alexa is also moving ahead with her professional future as she is planning her strategy for participation in what she refers to as her “final” pageant, the 2020 Miss America pageant and had a recent photo shoot for a popular magazine, and was then asked to do a runway show for the same magazine. Much of the show highlights Matt’s love of himself, as he talks about how perfect he is, incessantly, in a manner that some may find borderline excessive. Being ultra confident, though, might just be what’s necessary in the business he’s found himself in, and the way in which he does this is truly funny. Alexa exudes an aura of self-confidence too, but she also has a shield of humility, something that Matt seems to be lacking. The show also involves two other stand out characters, Matt’s mom, Angela, and Alexa’s mom, Sharon Ciolli. Both are extremely proud, overbearing Italian mothers, with absolutely no filters, and who are anything but shy, as they openly express their opinions about everyone and everything. What is clear as can be is that these moms center their lives around their children, even when using the comedic sarcasm they seem to naturally possess. Matt’s sister, Angela, also plays an important role with her dynamic personality that is portrayed throughout the comical dysfunction of the show. She and Matt share a very close relationship, regardless of their seemingly competitive and completely different personalities. Matt’s dad, Rod, and Alexa’s stepdad,Tony, who is lovingly referred to as “Two Toes Tony” (he apparently is without two of his toes), equally contribute to the show’s humor. You’d never know it by their seemingly opposing personalities, but, like it or not, Matt shares one very unique thing in common with his mom. Well, two if you count that she manages his psychic career (at least for the moment). She also passed down to him the psychic

abilities that were passed down to her by her mother. Matt shares that he was not comfortable with much that went along with psychic abilities as a youngster and he tried to suppress it for as long as possible, but after his grandmother came to him when he had another psychic “read” him and reminded him of the good he could do for others with his psychic talen, he quit his EMT profession to follow his calling and has never looked back. Matt, Alexa, and Maria constantly complain about all of the parents, but it’s obviously not meant to be malicious, and the manner in which they do it is actually really funny. The families share dinner every week, an Italian feast cooked by Angela and Sharon. This often chaotic time together is where everyone’s personality really shines, or clashes, especially when the moms give Matt and Alexa unsolicted sex advice. Matt’s dad, Rod, is unusual, as he is totally skeptical about the psychic world, even his own son’s abilities. He struggles to connect with Matt, but even their attempt to communicate is funny. There are many strong personalities on the show, all led by Matt, perhaps the master of retorts, but in the end, it all somehow works together for a show that is very entertaining. As you travel throughout Rhode Island, keep your eye out for a can’t be missed black SUV that packs even more glitz than Matt’s bedazzled shoes and is plastered with Matt’s face on its side. If you missed the first few episodes of Meet the Frasers, they can be seen via Contour TV, Netflix, Hulu,YouTube TV, fubo TV, Amazon Prime Video, and Google Play. With its comedic entertainment and zany characters, I’m hopeful that Meet the Frasers will maintain its popularity and momentum for a long time to come.

Things Things You You Didn’t Didn’t Know Know

Steven M. Gosetti, CLTC Insurance Agent

Q: Am I required to sign up for Medicare Part B when I turn 65? A: It depends. Are you still employed? If you or your spouse is employed and has creditable coverage with that employer, you can delay signing up for Medicare Part B. Keep in mind that neither COBRA nor retiree coverage is considered creditable coverage, so it will not allow you to delay signing up for Part B without the possibility of paying a late enrollment penalty. Additionally, the number of employees the company has plays a factor in whether the plan is considered creditable coverage. Always check with your company’s Human Resource Department to safely ensure that their plan is creditable Q: What is the difference between term life and whole life? A: Many people find it difficult to remember the differences between these two types of life insurance. It helps to step back and think about the three major variables to consider when it comes to life insurance: the death benefit, the premium and the length of time the policy will be in force, or term. With whole life, your policy lasts your whole life until you pass away, as long as the policy is in force at the time of your passing. In most cases, the premiums are level throughout the lifetime of the policy. Term policies, on the other hand, are only in effect until the term period ends. In many cases, the premium may also change during the term. Although term policies tend to be less expensive than whole life policies, you do run the risk of paying into the policy and outliving the term, which means no death benefit would be paid out to your surviving spouse or heirs.

St. Patrick's Day

Fun Facts

St. Patrick is said to have been born to an aristocratic Christian family in Britain around A.D. 390, and not in Ireland as would be expected. Your odds of finding a four-leaf clover are about 1 in 10,000. Legend says that each leaf of the clover has a meaning: Hope, Faith, Love, and Luck. Chicago has been celebrating Saint Patrick by dumping green dye into the Chicago River since 1962. It takes 40 tons of dye to get the river to a suitably festive shade! According to Irish legend, Saint Patrick wasn’t originally called Patrick. His birth name was Maewyn Succat, but he changed his name to Patricius after becoming a priest. Corned beef and cabbage, a traditional Saint Patrick’s Day staple, doesn’t have anything to do with the grain corn. Instead, it’s a nod to the large grains of salt that were historically used to cure meats, which were also known as “corns.”

The color of St. Patrick’s Day was originally blue. Wearing green has become a staple of St. Patrick’s Day, but the holiday was originally associated with the color blue. It’s thought that the shift to green happened because of Ireland’s nickname, “The Emerald Isle,” the green in the Irish flag and the shamrock, or clover. Green ribbons and shamrocks were worn as early as the 17th century. There are 34.7 million U.S. residents with Irish ancestry. This number is more than seven times the population of Ireland itself. The first parade for the holiday occurred in New York City on March 17, 1762. It featured Irish soldiers who served in the English military. In 1948, President Harry S. Truman attended the parade. Those making corned beef and cabbage for St. Patrick's Day will find ample supplies in grocery stores. U.S. farmers produced 40.3 billion pounds of beef and 2.2 billion pounds of cabbage in 2014.

Those with Irish heritage were more likely to have higher household income, own their own homes and earn academic degrees. St. Patrick's Day began as a religious holiday to honor St. Patrick, who brought Christianity to Ireland in the fifth century.

Interested in Initial Public Offerings (IPOs)? HERE’S WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW. Getting in on the “ground floor” is what interests many investors in companies that have just made their stock available to the public. These so-called Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) often draw significant attention, particularly when well-known companies are involved. IPOs are a way in which firms make their stock available to the public as a way to raise capital. They also allow individuals and entities who invested in the company when it was private to sell shares on the open market. If you are interested in IPOs and want to learn more, here’s what you should know. Investing in an IPO stock One appeal of IPOs for investors is the ability to own publicly traded stock at the earliest opportunity. Many do so with the assumption that over time, the stock will increase in value, and they wish to take advantage of what may be the lowest price available. But as with most investments, there is no guarantee that a profit will be generated. Depending on the stock’s popularity, it may also be difficult to purchase shares when the stock is first traded. Typically, large institutions and higher-net-worth individual investors will have the best opportunity to participate in the initial offering. Talk to your financial professional if you have interest in a specific IPO to determine if you have the ability to obtain shares at the initial offering price. Do your homework Here are three key factors to consider as you assess whether to put money to work in an IPO. Factor #1 – Prospects for the company IPOs typically involve younger companies, but in some cases, they are firms with longer track records. Either way, information about such a company may be limited. It is important to carefully read the prospectus, learn about the quality of the firm’s management and assess the marketplace that the company serves. You want a sense of confidence that over time, the company has strong potential for long-term success. Factor #2 – The fairness of the initial offering price You want to be confident that the initial public offering share price is fair and offers you reasonable potential of appre-

ciation over time. The initial listing price is likely to quickly fluctuate based on supply and demand for the stock. If you are unable to invest at the initial offering price, you may be purchasing the stock for a higher or lower price, even on the same day of the initial offering. Factor #3 – Your investment portfolio and time horizon Anytime you invest in stocks, a generally accepted practice is that you should only buy if you intend to hold the stock for at least five to seven years. This is just as true in the case of an IPO stock. While you may have visions of making a “quick buck” by owning a stock early in its existence, there are no guarantees. Like any stock, newly-issued IPOs have the potential to fluctuate in value. Depending on the timing of your investment, the stock may even drop in price, particularly if the broader stock market happens to experience a notable decline. Patience is important. It’s also essential to ensure you evaluate the purchase of an IPO stock in context of your overall portfolio and financial plan. Be sure to consult with your financial advisor to determine if and how an IPO stock fits within your overall portfolio. ad.

Natural Wood Cabinetry Refinishing 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! As cabinetry ages, whether it’s in the kitchen, bathroom, or another room, it typically begins to show the signs of old age. This is especially true if it’s cabinetry that gets an awful lot of use. Assuming this occurs and the homeowner grows a bit concerned about this happening, a tough decision is often involved. Should the cabinets be replaced? Should the cabinets repainted? Should the cabinets be refaced? Or, along the lines of what I personally have found to be the most gratifying solution; should the cabinets be refinished? Certainly, any of these options could be a great choice. Replacing the cabinets provides “the sky’s the limit” type of option, as you could really take this anywhere you want. Repainting the cabinets, if done correctly, could change the entire look of the room they are located in and provide its own “WOW” factor. Refacing the cabinets is a nice option, though probably my least favorite (although they absolutely may come out awesome; I am just not particularly a fan) This brings us to refinishing. From a cost perspective, assuming we are having a conversation about “good” cabinetry, it is most in-line with the painting systems we would utilize, possibly a little bit more (typically would cost a lot less than replacing them, but is usually a bit more than refacing them).

Why do I like the refinishing option so much? That is actually a really tough question to answer. Maybe it is just the purist in me. I love when our craftspeople can take something that is seemingly worn out and with a bit of time, energy, and effort, literally resurrect things to brand spanking new fashion. Even cabinetry that is only partially tired looking can be brought back to life with the existing finish, with good restoration work,. Restoring cabinetry is A LOT Of work. From the stripping, sanding, and overall prep, to the staining and polyurethane finishes, cabinetry restoration is not for the faint of heart. Unfortunately, cabinetry restoration is also a dying art form, as there are a limited number of professionals who are truly in tune with what is involved in doing it correctly and who are able to professionally execute it from start to finish. With all the above being said, if you are someone who prefers to have your cabinetry restored versus one of the other options, if the right professional is performing the restoration work, the results can be remarkably stunning and leave the owner with a feeling of satisfaction and pride.
