Del’s continues to expand its product line to reach a diverse market by: Paul Lonardo | photos: Owen Head

You know the spring weather has arrived and summer is on the way when you see a Del’s lemonade stand open for business. It’s been an iconic symbol of our state for many decades now, so when Rhode Islanders think Del’s, the first thing that comes to mind is cold delicious lemonade, whether your preference is classic lemon, or any of the other flavor varieties, such as watermelon and blueberry. But today’s Del’s is much more than soft frozen lemonade, and as the company has grown, they have created a wide and diversified product line that you may not be aware of.

Del’s Frozen Lemonade is one of the truly great Rhode Island success stories, and for those who don’t know its history, the company website highlights how great grandfather DeLucia made the first of its kind homemade lemonade in Naples, Italy in 1840. As the story goes, in the winter months, DeLucia carried snow into nearby caves which he insulated with straw, then when summer arrived and the local lemons were ripe and flavorful, he mixed their juice with just the right amount of sugar and snow, making a refreshing lemon-flavored drink that so many have come to love over the years.

Franco DeLucia eventually brought his father’s frozen lemonade recipe to America at the turn of the 20th century before Angelo DeLucia, Franco’s son, utilized machinery from TAYLOR to commercially produce the product. In 1948, Del’s Frozen Lemonade acquired its name and began to sell the product from a little stand in Cranston. It was an instant hit, and Angelo soon designed the first mobile truck in order to serve the unique brand of lemonade all over the state.

When Angelo’s son, Bruce, entered the family business there were five franchises in Rhode Island. Today, Bruce’s daughter, Stephanie, runs the family business as president of Del’s Lemonade’s sister company, Francesca Enterprises International, and Del’s is now being sold to people in over twenty states. With the availability of Del’s “take-home” mix, as well as all the other Del’s products that can be found in grocery stores and markets all around the entire country and throughout the world, Del’s has gone global. This was not an accident, but a conceived business plan to promote and grow the Del’s brand.

Dr. Demetrios Kazantzis, who holds a Ph.D. from the University of Rhode Island n Food Science, is someone who has been behind this push for expansion. He is the vice president of research and development in the Del’s headquarters in Cranston. He knows as much as anybody about where Del’s is as a company and where it is going.

“When I first joined the company almost thirtyeight years ago, we started with one product, and now we have over fifty different products that we sell in the markets.” Dr. Kazantzis says.

“I’ve developed many lines over the years, along with my R&D group, employing interns from different universities and areas like food science, marketing, and graphic design. But when someone asks me what I do, I usually just say scoop lemonade.”

Dr. Kazantzis does a lot more than scoop lemonade into cups. Del’s original soft frozen lemonade may only be a seasonal treat, but because of Dr. Kazantzis’ creativity and his developmental efforts, you can find a number

Preserving Prosperity Why Rhode Island Must Uphold the Tipped Wage Credit System

by Heather R. Singleton

President/CEO, Rhode Island Hospitality Association

In response to recent proposed legislation to change Rhode Island’s tip credit system, CorCom, Inc. undertook a comprehensive survey of the state’s tipped hospitality workers across a broad and diverse cross section of the industry. The results, Heather R. Singleton recently unveiled by the RI Hospitality Association, unequivocally show that the current system is not only preferred but is critical for the financial wellbeing and job satisfaction of our workforce.

The federal tip credit system has long been a cornerstone of the hospitality industry, allowing tipped employees such as restaurant servers and bartenders to earn a base hourly wage below the state minimum, with the understanding that tips will supplement their income. This arrangement ensures that every employee earns at least the minimum wage, often significantly more, rewarding those who excel in their roles and provide outstanding service to customers. The proposed legislation, House Bill 7531, seeks to overhaul this practice without fully considering the detrimental impact it could have on those it purports to help.

The RIHA survey, conducted in early 2024, drew responses from 244 tipped employees across Rhode Island, providing us with critical insights into the sentiment within our industry. A staggering 91% of these employees have expressed a desire to maintain the current tip credit system, citing the significant earning potential it affords them. This preference is not limited to a small subset of our workforce; it spans across genders, ethnicities, and years of service, demonstrating the system’s effectiveness and importance to a broad demographic within the hospitality sector.

is a testament to the success of the tip credit system in enabling higher earning potential for our workers.

It’s a system that motivates and rewards excellence, pushing employees to strive for the best service possible, directly benefiting both our customers and the financial stability of our workforce.

The survey also highlighted valid concerns about the potential repercussions of eliminating the tip credit system. An overwhelming 87% of respondents feared that their earnings would decrease should this proposal pass, with 70% skeptical that customers would continue to tip generously on top of mandatory service charges. This change threatens not only the financial stability of our employees but also the very culture of hospitality and service that Rhode Island prides itself on.

I stand with the vast majority of our state’s hospitality workers in opposing the proposed changes to our tip credit system. Our industry thrives because of the diverse, dedicated workforce that serves residents and visitors alike, contributing significantly to our state’s economy. It’s crucial that we listen to their voices and understand the real-world implications of these legislative changes. Instead of dismantling a system that has proven effective for both employees and employers, we should focus on supporting policies that enhance the hospitality industry’s ability to provide rewarding, well-paying jobs to Rhode Islanders.

Let’s not make hasty decisions that could inadvertently harm the very individuals we aim to support. The tip credit system represents a balanced, effective approach to compensating our state’s hospitality workers, ensuring that they are rewarded for their hard work and service excellence. I urge lawmakers and stakeholders to consider the findings of the RIHA survey and work towards solutions that truly benefit our state’s vibrant hospitality sector and its workforce.

Notably, 85% of the surveyed employees reported earning $20 per hour or more, a figure that far exceeds Rhode Island’s current minimum wage. This statistic Shop In RI 13

Fitness Tips

By Stacie Venagro | 2017 World Miss Fitness America Pro

Get Active This May As the weather warms up and the days get longer, May presents an ideal opportunity to kickstart or revamp your fitness routine. Engaging in regular physical activity offers numerous benefits for both physical and mental health, making it a cornerstone of a healthy lifestyle. Whether you’re a seasoned athlete or a beginner, incorporating exercise into your daily routine can lead to significant improvements in your overall well-being.

The Benefits of Exercise: Regular exercise has a multitude of benefits that extend beyond physical fitness. Here are some key reasons why staying active is essential: Improved Physical Health: Exercise strengthens the heart, lungs, and muscles, reducing the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, and obesity.

It also helps maintain a healthy weight and promotes better sleep.

Enhanced Mental Well-being: Physical activity releases endorphins, neurotransmitters that promote feelings of happiness and reduce stress. Regular exercise has been linked to improved mood, decreased symptoms of anxiety and depression, and enhanced cognitive function.

Increased Energy Levels: Engaging in regular physical activity boosts energy levels and reduces feelings of fatigue. It can also improve productivity and concentration, both at work and in daily activities.

Stronger Immune System: Moderate exercise can enhance the immune system’s ability to fight off infections and illnesses, reducing the risk of getting sick.

Social Connection: Participating in group fitness classes, sports leagues, or outdoor activities, provides opportunities for social interaction, and fosters a sense of community, which is vital for mental well-being.

How to Get Active This May: Set Realistic Goals: Start by setting achievable fitness goals that align with your interests and fitness level.

Whether it’s increasing daily steps, running a certain distance, or mastering a new yoga pose, setting specific and measurable goals will keep you motivated.

Find Activities You Enjoy: Experiment with different types of exercise, until you find activities that you genuinely enjoy. Whether it’s cycling, swimming, hiking, dancing, or weightlifting, incorporating activities you love into your routine will make exercise feel less like a chore and more like a rewarding experience.

Make it a Habit: Consistency is key to reaping the benefits of exercise. Schedule regular workout sessions into your weekly routine and treat them as nonnegotiable appointments. Over time, exercising will become a natural part of your daily life.

Mix it Up: Avoid boredom and prevent plateaus by varying your workouts. Incorporate a mix of cardiovascular exercise, strength training, flexibility, and balance exercises to target different muscle groups and keep your body challenged.

Listen to Your Body: Pay attention to how your body feels during and after exercise. Rest when needed, and don’t push yourself beyond your limits to avoid injury.

Remember that progress takes time, and it’s essential to listen to your body’s cues.

A Short Workout to Get You Started: Warm-up: 5 minutes of light cardio (e.g., jogging in place, jumping jacks).

Strength Training Circuit (repeat 3 times): • Bodyweight Squats: 15 reps • Push-ups (or modified push-ups): 10 reps • Plank: Hold for 30 seconds • Lunges: 12 reps (6 per leg) Cooldown: 5 minutes of stretching (focus on major muscle groups) Remember to hydrate before, during, and after your workout, and don’t forget to cool down and stretch to prevent muscle soreness and improve flexibility.

As May approaches, now is the perfect time to prioritize your health and well-being by getting active. Whether you prefer solo workouts or group activities, there are endless ways to incorporate exercise into your daily routine. By committing to regular physical activity, you’ll not only improve your physical health, but will also experience enhanced mood, increased energy levels, and a greater overall sense of well-being. So, lace up your sneakers, grab a workout buddy, and embrace the benefits of exercise this May, and beyond. Your body and mind will thank you for it.

EMPOWER YOUR DAUGHTERS FOR COLLEGE THIS SUMMER!

By Kevin Kearns | Burn With Kearns

and resilience, particularly during the toughest moments.

Discipline, often underestimated, emerges as a crucial cornerstone for personal growth. Regardless of initial struggles or late blossoming, every young woman possesses the potential to cultivate both physical and mental fortitude. Many professional athletes, like Tom Brady, integrate martial arts disciplines like Western boxing and Muay Thai into their training routines, underscoring the universal effectiveness of such practices, beyond conventional sports.

Self-defense goes beyond physicality; it’s about nurturing confidence and forging enduring connections through regular training. Programs like our Martial Training offer a comprehensive approach, enhancing not just physical attributes, but also vital life skills, such as balance, coordination, self-control, and effective anger management.

These are the tools that prove invaluable, as young women transition into adulthood, offering a release valve for emotional challenges they may encounter along the way.

As your daughter gears up for her college adventure, are you feeling a tug of concern about her safety and well-being? In today’s digital age, where smartphones and social media dominate, and the lingering effects of COVID disrupt normalcy, the landscape for young adults is rife with challenges. Social skills might have taken a hit, and the pandemic-induced barriers have only magnified the issue, especially considering the recent spate of attacks on college girls and women, glaringly showcased in the media.

Reflecting on my own journey, I recall being that kid, who struggled with everything, from sports to self-esteem, compounded by personal losses. The journey was tough, but through the unwavering encouragement of a close uncle, I found solace and strength in karate and self-defense. This path taught me invaluable lessons in practice, discipline, 22 Shop _C4 ShopInInRIRI

In my classes, adults often express feeling empowered and relieved, after sessions focused on self-defense and martial arts. Offering your daughter the chance to learn self-defense can be a transformative gift, nurturing her confidence and self-esteem, as she tackles the hurdles of college life.

This winter, we’ve successfully launched two programs, including ALWAYS PICKED LAST, an anti bullying/self-defense initiative thriving with teens in Pawtucket. This practice is rooted in realworld self-defense and our 4 S formula for antibullying: Speak up, Stand up, Stay together, and Self-defense as needed. Self-defense begins with mental and emotional preparation before ever turning physical, equipping individuals with the tools to handle themselves effectively, in various situations.

BE YOUR OWN BODYGUARD, our self-defense program for older teens and adults, focuses on practical strategies for both typical and atypical situations. Both programs emphasize understanding warning signs, knowing how to handle potential threats swiftly and effectively, and being aware of one’s surroundings.

And, here are some key takeaways:

Rule #1: Trust your instincts - if something feels off, it probably is.

Rule #2: Stay aware of your surroundings, especially when exercising alone, by using only one earbud.

Rule #3: Use your brain, voice, and legs to navigate danger.

Rule #4: Remember the vulnerable spots - eyes, ears, nose, throat, groin, and joints - and use them, if needed.

As parents, it’s our responsibility to arm our daughters with the tools they need, not only for academic success, but also for navigating social and safety challenges. I’ve included some selfdefense videos in this article, and I hope you find them helpful.

Additionally, check out these complementary videos, where a friend of a 14-year-old son, reads excerpts from the book, and interviews Coach Kearns after each chapter. youtube.com/playlist?list=PLaxMqL76HJ3uluUIvoVk T25CC7nHno6VN&si=f-WbnKSUvZc_9yY1 Thank you for your unwavering support. May this program empower your daughter and countless others to feel confident and secure in their journeys ahead. youtube.com/watch?v=wBq5JoJpCKU youtube.com/watch?v=hxNRjL6EL1k

As a token of appreciation, I invite you to explore Coach Kearns’s book, “Always Picked Last: A Guide to Conquering the Bullies,” for further insights and strategies.

Dynamic Thoughts By: Dr. Pete Dionisopoulos, PT, DPT Most people deal with aches and pain day in and day out, as they can find enough relief with rest or taking a few pain pills here and there.

Unfortunately, this should not be the norm, and it has been this way for quite some time.

It’s important to acknowledge that we all experience aches and pains, sometimes triggered by specific activities. In such cases, it’s wise to avoid those movements until healing occurs, and then gradually reintroduce them. This is a common experience, and you’re not alone in this.

What happens when specific things start to trickle into more frequent occurrences or with day-today tasks? For example, you may only have knee pain with running, but then eventually, it happens every time you go up/down stairs, sit down/get up, bend, or kneel.

11 Blackstone Valley Place Lincoln, RI

If these things start trickling into your daily life, the answer isn’t to “just deal with it,” or say, “I’m just getting older,” or even “no pain, no gain.”

RICHARD COLISANTE

In this case, it’s time to seek out help so you can return to normal and not settle for a new norm.

The more you put things off, the harder it is to turn it around, and if done for too long, a very minor problem becomes a huge problem (i.e. surgery, severe arthritis, nerve damage, etc).

AUTO - HOME - COMMERCIAL

You should ask yourself, if you had a tiny drip coming from the ceiling of your house, would you just let sit there and only do something once the ceiling caves in?

INSURANCE

My guess would be that you would not let that happen and you take care of the small problem before it becomes a much bigger problem.

So why do the same to your own health?

50 REASONS YOU SHOULD EXERCISE By: Susan Gazerro

I have never written about anything personal, but in this article, you are going to read about a life changing event I experienced. I want people to understand the importance of exercise. In the first part of the article, I will discuss the 50 reasons why you should exercise. Later in the article, I will share my experience. The first thought that comes to mind when people hear the word exercise, is losing weight. Sure, that is a great reason to exercise, but it can become a chore if that is the only reason you want to exercise. Exercise should be about being healthy. Weight loss is a fringe benefit. Exercise is really about the mind, as much as it is about the body. Endorphins are just one of the hormones released from the brain during exercise. These hormones affect your mood. So again, exercise is about mind and body.

Here’s 50 reasons you should exercise.

1. Helps manage stress 2. Improves your immune system 3. Reduces your risk of getting heart disease 4. Increases your muscle strength 26 Shop In RI

5. Improves athletic performance 6. Helps relieve tension headaches 7. Helps you sleep better 8. Allows you to consume greater quantities of food and still maintain caloric balance 9.Enhances sexual desire 10. Reduces the risk of developing high blood pressure.

11. Increases bone density 12. Improves your physical appearance 13. Increases circulating levels 14. Helps you to relax.

15. Improves brain function, including shortterm memory in older individuals 16. Helps relieve many of the common discomforts of pregnancy 17. Reduces anxiety levels 18. Helps control blood pressure 19. Protects against the slow, but steady weight gain that occurs as you age due to slower metabolism 20. Lowers your resting heart rate 21. Reduces circulating levels of triglycerides 22. Helps with menstrual symptoms

23. Helps speed recovery from chemotherapy treatments 24. Helps the body resist upper respiratory tract infections 25. Increases the cartilage in your joints 26. Gives you more energy to meet the demands of daily life 27. Increases your level of muscle and cardio endurance 28. Reduces the risk of developing colon, prostate, and breast cancer 29. Helps to alleviate depression.

30. Helps you maintain proper muscle balance 31. Improves mental alertness 32. Reduces your risk of having a stroke 33. Helps you to burn excess calories 34. Increases your cardiac reserve 35. Improves heart circulation 36.Improves your self-esteem 37. Improves your immune system 38. Reduces your likelihood of developing lowback problems 39. Improves your balance and coordination 40. Your body uses and burns fat for energy during physical activity.

41. Helps in preventing injury 42. Decreases the need for medication 43. Improves your decision-making abilities, brain function 44. Helps to reduce and prevent symptoms of menopause (hot flashes, sleep disturbances, irritability, etc.) and decrease the long-term risks of cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, and obesity 45. Helps to relieve and prevent migraine headaches 46. Helps reduce bone loss as you age, thereby reducing your risk of developing osteoporosis 47. Improves your mood.

48. Helps to increase your overall health 49. Helps you to maintain an independent lifestyle 50. Increases the diffusion capacity of the lungs, enhancing the exchange of oxygen from your lungs to your blood

Exercise, without doubt, improves your quality of life, and is truly the best medicine. There are situations where people are limited or unable to exercise, and I completely respect and understand those situations. However, as I mentioned earlier, if you can move, you need to move! The only thing that works the heart muscle is cardio. As far as your other muscles and joints, like anything else that goes unused, they will get rusty and will eventually stop working. The more you move them and stay active, the healthier you will be.

Following is my personal experience: I was involved in a life-threatening car accident. I had three brain bleeds and was put into a selfinduced coma. Fast forward…I went through months of cognitive, speech, and physical therapy, of which I have no memory. The doctors, specifically my neurologist, said that if it were not for my physical condition, I may not have recovered as quickly, if at all. Being in good cardio and physical shape, helped speed up my recovery. My neurologist also said that I had a strong mind. I was determined.

I am sharing this story to prove that your physical ability and positive outlook will carry you through life and difficult times in your life.

Again, it’s not about being skinny. It’s about being healthy and being able to climb the stairs, walk for miles, or carry something heavy. All of this starts with a strong, determined, positive mind. Your mind can tell your body what to do.

You can truly do anything you put your mind to.

Valley Affordable Housing Corp.

Connecting People with a Home

By Mark Berger One major challenge facing Rhode Island is the housing crisis. A serious lack of available homes has fueled price wars, not only statewide, but also, nationally.

“Sticker Shock” can jolt buyers and renters into paying more than they can comfortably afford. Leaving others to continue searching for their new “home.”

It can be demoralizing for those who cannot afford either their current mortgage or rent payments. Other necessities like utilities, real estate taxes, and property insurance have skyrocketed over the last few years, further increasing housing costs. Covid-19 and supply-chain issues have increased the costs of many other goods and services. This has placed many households stuck in a situation, where hard choices must be made regarding basic needs over wants.

That is where a Cumberland-based, non-profit organization steps in to assist people with their housing needs. The Valley Affordable Housing Corp. (VAHC), located at 1029 Mendon Road, works to identify areas where housing units can be created around the state.

Although their focus is primarily in northern Rhode Island, they search the state to locate opportunities that could be transformed into apartments for those looking for a home.

Valley’s new executive director, Jeffrey Swanson, said that he believes, first and foremost, our state needs more housing of all types.

“Statewide, there are very few homes for sale and not many available vacant apartments for people to move into,” Swanson said.

He recently became the new executive director of VAHC and Pinnacle Property Management (PPM).

“As a result, I have observed the desperate need that exists everywhere for affordable housing around Rhode Island. While there has been a shortage of affordable housing for decades, in recent years, it has become a crisis. Valley’s mission is to create housing, so people can have some place to call home.”

34 Shop In RI

Swanson laid out the goals he and his six-member Board want to achieve in the coming months and years.

They include: Reviewing the organization, so that it will remain on solid footing for the next 30 years.

Increasing the number of apartments owned and managed by VAHC & PPM, from 566 to over 1,000.

Bringing services and events to those in permanent housing. Those could include: blood pressure screenings, farmer’s market, scam prevention, and other programs.

Swanson said that despite the known housing shortage, many communities are unwilling to approve new housing projects, particularly housing defined as “affordable.” There are fears that cities and towns will be flooded with outsiders, schools will become overcrowded, and traffic will become impossible.

Swanson said that the housing problem is much more widespread than people think. “The median price for a house in RI is currently around $430,000.

Nearly half of the households in Rhode Island, about 48 percent, are cost burdened. The cost of everything has risen dramatically. With salaries not keeping up, it has created more issues for people to make ends meet.”

Valley Affordable Housing Corp. searches for land that could be converted into housing. While the idea is noble, finding property around Rhode Island suitable to build has been problematic. Cherise Miller, Valley’s Director of Property Management, said that many of the lots that are appropriate to build on are already sold. There is also the anxiety of neighborhoods not wanting affordable housing near them, and often cite the previously-mentioned reasons as to why. Finding somewhere to build units for people in need of someplace to live becomes a delicate balancing act.

As for new projects, Swanson and Miller mentioned the former Lincoln Memorial School in Lincoln as one place they plan to repackage into affordable housing units. The property has not been used for some time—about 15 years. Once it was deemed worthy of a makeover, VAHC will transform the school into 26 affordable housing units.

In addition to their fees collected from their work, VAHC seeks additional funding at the local and federal grant levels. They are interested in speaking with anyone involved with those areas of expertise.

As Board President Paul Gagne succinctly puts it, “We want to make Rhode Island a better place for families and residents.”

They also have a summer youth program that enables high school students to work with them and gain professional experience. Students receive valuable skills that could be applied throughout their professional career. Occasionally, VAHC hires them for full-time employment.

Besides Swanson, Miller, and Gagne, the Board includes Edward Mulholland, who has been with the organization since it was founded, and he also served as former chair. Other board members include: Lisa Audette, Vice President; Joanne Buttie, Director; Carol Marrocco, Director, and Paul Dumouchel, Director.

Valley Affordable Housing Corp., is a private, non-profit 501 (c) (3) organization, created nearly 30 years ago, to develop, own, and manage, safe, sanitary, and suitable affordable housing properties for income- qualifying individuals. VAHC is an independent and self-sufficient organization that continues to completely support and finance its operations, with development and management fees it earns, through its activities.

PERSONAL INJURY CLIENTS BENEFIT FROM EXPERIENCE AT ROBERT V. RUSSO LAW OFFICES

By Paul Lonardo

Attorney Robert V. Russo has an impressive track-record handling personal injury cases in the state of Rhode Island, and his thirty-three years of experience is something his clients benefit from when his law firm represents them.

Russo’s long-term relationship with the state, representing Rhode Islanders as a legal servant for more than thirty years, as well as having been a public servant as a member of the Johnston Town Council since 1995 and serving as President of the Town Council for the past eighteen years, is an asset to anyone seeking legal help and guidance after an accident or injury.

“I approach my cases for my clients with this dual background,” Russo says. “I handle all issues, whether it’s a political issue for a constituent or a legal issue for a client, it’s all comes down to problem-solving, which is something I’ve been doing for a long time now.”

Robert V. Russo Law Offices, LLC is not one of those factory-style firms that employ a warehouse full of case handlers who are assigned cases to handle. Rather Russo Law offers a boutique style setting where Russo gets to know his clients individually and on a personal level.

“I’ve always believed in interacting with my clients directly,” Russo says.

42 Shop In RI

Attorney Robert V. Russo has been representing generations of families for over 30 years.

“I’m at my office every day to facilitate as much one-on-one interaction as possible.”

Not being a massive law firm affords a more personal touch, but that doesn’t mean Russo can’t handle the needs of those seeking representation for any type of personal injury. He employs a full-time staff of twelve, including associate attorney, Alyssa Volpi, who is licensed in the state of Massachusetts as well as Rhode Island. And shortly, the firm will be welcoming a new attorney, Russo’s niece, Taylor Russo, who is licensed in Connecticut and awaiting New York.

“I’ve always said, it’s the work that my entire staff does on every case that gets the job done,” Russo says. He equates his business relationship with his staff to a pilot who depends on so many others who are hard at work behind the scenes to get the

airplane off the ground, from the maintenance workers to the flight attendats to the baggage handlers.

Russo graduated from Bryant University and obtained his Juris Doctorate degree from the University of Baltimore. After working as a personal injury attorney for seven years at Coia & Lepore, Ltd. in Providence, Russo established his own firm in 1997.

He still serves some of the same clients that he did when he first started, and in some cases providing services for older and younger members of clients’ families going back over twenty years. That kind of generational service is something that makes Russo proud. Not only is this fulfilling because it shows that his clients have faith in him professionally, but there is a personal element to his work that makes is especially satisfying.

7 Ways to Build Financial Literacy in Your Children

1

By: Carrie McPherson

Children often learn their first lessons about money from the adults they’re closest to. Whether it’s listening to parents discuss a purchase or watching them pay bills online, kids are observant and their relationship with money is often shaped by what surrounds them.

If you are a parent looking to instill financial wisdom in your children, here are some ways to get started.

Set a good example. Kids often model what they see.

Be intentional about the example you’re setting. Proactively discuss money with your children. Talk about what’s important to you money-wise and use everyday moments to bring it to life such as bringing them along when you speak to a financial advisor or consider an expenditure.

Share knowledge. You can give your kids important life skills by building their foundation of financial knowledge. Shape good habits with simple lessons about how to track spending or saving up for something special.

Why wait until they’re on their own to talk about the value of good credit or to explain how compound interest can make savings grow? Talk about the rewards (and challenges) of delayed gratification and the perils of debt. As they get older, emphasize the importance of financial security and the value of professional guidance.

Encourage goal setting. Instill the habit of goal setting early. Discuss your own goals – such as paying for a family vacation or saving for a new car – and how you follow through on them. Encourage your children to set a goal or two of their own.

Reinforce the value of work. Children learn the value of a dollar sooner when they are exposed to the effort that goes into earning each one. Consider whether you want to provide an allowance or pay them for helping with 44 Shop In RI

chores. When they start a part-time job, talk through the various ways they can allocate the money earned. It’s human nature to be more careful when spending your own versus someone else’s money.

Introduce the concept of budgeting. Budgeting doesn’t have to be a negative concept. Having a spending plan can be empowering because you know exactly what money is going to meet each need and goal. Start explaining this concept early on. Kids should understand that you impose limits on your own spending, and why it’s important to live within your means. For example, a trip to the grocery store can be an opportunity to share why you make the choices you do.

Model philanthropy. If giving back to the causes you care about is important to you as an investor, it can be impactful to show your children the power of giving.

You might suggest they apply a save-spend-share philosophy toward their own money. The idea is to set aside a portion of their allowance or earnings for future wants or needs, spend another portion on today’s wants or needs, and give a portion to causes they care about. Whether it’s enacting a spending philosophy or having a conversation with your child about how you use your money to give back, passing down your philanthropic values can be a rewarding experience for both parties.

Be a resource. Most kids make a few financial mistakes as they mature into adults. Let them know they can turn to you for guidance. Encourage them to continue to build smart money habits and remind them they don’t have to navigate their financial journey alone.

Has your risk tolerance changed over time?

Here is how to tell.

By: Edward Pontarelli Jr.

Risk tolerance can play a large part in determining the structure and composition of an individual’s investments and financial plan. As an investor, it’s important to know your risk tolerance for investments and be aware of circumstances that may affect it. Evaluating your risk tolerance regularly can help ensure your portfolio mix is still aligned with your current situation and future goals. Here are five considerations to make when assessing your risk profile: 1. Understand how risk tolerance can affect a portfolio.

Investors with conservative profiles are often individuals who have shorter investment horizons or fewer assets.

These investors are usually matched to similarly risk-averse investment vehicles, such as bonds. Bonds generally offer lower returns in exchange for their relative safety. A portfolio heavily weighted in stocks is better suited to individuals with a high-risk tolerance. For example, younger investors who have time to bounce back from market fluctuations or investors with ample resources may utilize higher-risk investment options. Similarly, wealthy individuals who are willing to take on more risk for the potential of higher returns might explore IPOs, hedge funds, options and futures and other alternative investments. Most investors find a balance between risky and conservative portfolios. Risk tolerance is a spectrum, and you can find equilibrium in your portfolio as a whole by adjusting the riskiness of individual investments.

2. Changes to your personal life. Big life events such as marriage, divorce, home ownership, parenthood or a job change can impact your risk tolerance. For example, having a baby may compel you to be more cautious about how you manage risk exposure because you’re responsible for an additional member of your family. On the other hand, making the last payment on your mortgage may give you more financial flexibility, and your risk tolerance may adjust accordingly.

3. Changes to external circumstances. Your risk tolerance can be influenced by matters outside your personal sphere of influence. Stock market volatility, inflation and political events can contribute to your ease or discomfort with investment risk. When big external events occur, you may feel compelled to adjust your portfolio. Before doing so, keep two principles in mind: (1) It’s important for your investments to at least keep pace with the rise of inflation over time, overwise your portfolio will lose purchasing power. (2) Staying invested is one of the best ways to weather through market volatility.

4. Consider your confidence with risk. Check your stress level when the market fluctuates. You may not have the stomach for market dips. You also may be less comfortable with risk if you have other reasons to avoid it: you’ve

taken on more debt, had a reduction in your income, or have seen an increase in your cost-of-living expenses. Older investors may be most concerned with safeguarding principal and earning reliable, even if modest, returns. If you have noticed your discomfort with risk increase, speak with a financial advisor about potentially adjusting your portfolio mix.

5. Progress towards goals. Younger investors can usually manage more risk because they have years ahead of them in which to make up for market downturns. A windfall or other improvement in your finances may allow you to take on more risk. Alternatively, drawing nearer to your goals – such as a child’s college enrollment or retirement – may mean you need to take on less risk to protect the money you need. (But remember: retirement investors should also consider that their nest eggs may need to last several decades).

Risk tolerance is not static. Like many aspects of your life, it can change over time. When circumstances shift, it’s wise to evaluate whether your investments are still appropriate. A financial advisor can help you assess the health of your holdings and make adjustments that match your risk tolerance.

Fixed Income There are risks associated with fixed-income investments, including credit risk, interest rate risk, and prepayment and extension risk. In general, bond prices rise when interest rates fall and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longer term securities.

Stock Investment Stock investments involve risk, including loss of principal. High-quality stocks may be appropriate for some investment strategies. Ensure that your investment objectives, time horizon and risk tolerance are aligned with investing in stocks, as they can lose value.

Alternative Investment Alternative investments involve substantial risks and may be more volatile than traditional investments, making them more appropriate for investors with an above-average tolerance for risk.

Options Options involve risk and are not appropriate for all investors. Before entering into any options transaction, clients must receive the document entitled Characteristics and Risks of Standardized Options.

Hedge Funds An investment in a private fund involves a substantially more complicated set of risk factors than traditional investments in stocks or bonds, including the risks of using derivatives, leverage and short sales, which can magnify potential losses or gains. Restrictions exist on the ability to redeem units in a hedge fund. Private funds are speculative and involve a high degree of risk.

J&R Marketing Helps Small Businesses Tell Their Stories

by Mark Berger

Stories matter—especially when you’re trying to grow a small business.

Whether you write compelling copy, create engaging video content, or launch a digital marketing campaign, your small business’ story is at the core of your strategy, which is why it’s mission critical to tell your story well and partner with the right team who can help.

Storytelling is the driving force behind J&R Marketing, located in Smithfield. They are an integrated marketing agency that excels in telling a client’s story through various media. In addition to crafting narratives, they specialize in website design, photography, digital marketing, and a range of other services tailored to each client’s unique needs.

J&R Marketing’s founder, Joe Russo, said the reason for beginning his company was to help businesses grow.

“Starting the company was all about aiding businesses in their growth journey. I’ve always been passionate about the creative process, especially in branding and web design. My expertise started with lead generation and SEO, and my background and services really just grew from there.”

Russo’s marketing journey began modestly, starting from an entry-level role and relying on self-education to navigate the field. He ventured into entrepreneurship by establishing a small lead generation company tailored for home improvement businesses. He sold that company before starting J&R Marketing.

The journey to building J&R Marketing was slow but deliberate and purposeful. Joe juggled full-time roles at large companies and startups for over a decade. Notably, he was the Director of Operations for Teespring, a venture-backed apparel/tech company funded by Khosla Ventures and Andreessen Horowitz. While Joe nurtured J&R Marketing on the side without any employees, it gradually gained momentum. Eventually, he transitioned to focus entirely on J&R Marketing, making it his full-time commitment in 2017.

It was the landscape during that time that drew him toward launching this endeavor.

48 Shop In RI

“I’ve always treated my previous jobs and clients like my own business; it just felt natural to shift to J&R full-time to help more businesses. What truly drives me is passion. It bothered and still bothers me to see businesses being taken advantage of or receiving poorquality or overpriced services. By hiring and training experts, I was able to add more services and ensure that we’re adding value to our clients,” he said.

Joe explained that many of their clients are often busy managing various aspects of their business or experiencing rapid growth. They hire their agency to handle anything and everything from their website, marketing, advertising, video, social, ads, printing, presentations and more. While they specialize in a wide range of industries, businesses looking to rebrand, restructure and/or take the next step of growth is their sweet spot.

Regarding the industry, which Russo admits is “very competitive,” he often sees two mistakes that small businesses frequently make: 1. Not doing the small things right.

Many times, businesses will focus on sales without including the customer. Small things like following-up, sending a thank you letter, requesting a Google review, setting up an email signature, etc., – should all come well before spending thousands of dollars on a vehicle wrap or investing heavily into marketing. His advice is to crawl before you walk and walk before you run.

2. Selecting the wrong agency or partner.

When hiring an agency, website designer or any outside marketing help, make sure their goals align. Ensure that (the partner) can showcase their work or results.

Connect with their current clients and make sure that their goals were accomplished by that partner successfully. More importantly, if a contract is required – stay away. Contracts are almost always of the benefit of the agency, not the small business.

Their office is located at 359 Putnam Pike, B4, in Smithfield. They have just recently expanded and are taking on more clients for all services and products that they offer.

For more details about their products and services (including branding, website development, digital marketing, custom apparel, printing, and more), please visit their website at jandrmarketing.com or call them at 401-326-2932.

Regardless of the client or project—big or small—J&R Marketing strives to make the process simple and affordable.

“We’re always happy to handle one project or aspect of a business, such as just their website or just handling their custom apparel and printing. Additionally, we have many clients where we handle everything from design to web to print. We even have some clients where we evaluate their contracts, manage their IT company or advise in other business areas. It all comes down to making sure we can help them run their business and help them scale and become or remain profitable.”

The Challenges of Exterior Structural Repairs Some of the more difficult things to work through while addressing areas in need of repair on the exterior of your home, are those that come along, when tackling repairs of a structural nature.

Exterior structural repairs present a unique set of challenges, which require careful consideration and expertise, to overcome.

From accessibility issues to regulatory compliance and safety concerns, addressing the structural integrity of your home’s exterior often demands meticulous planning and execution.

Accessibility plays a pivotal role in the difficulty of exterior structural repairs. Unlike interior repairs, which can often be accessed relatively easily, working on the exterior of a home many times requires specialized equipment and techniques.

Taller or multi-storied homes present particular challenges, frequently necessitating the use of scaffolding, cranes, or lifts, to reach the affected areas safely. The logistics of mobilizing and setting up this equipment adds complexity to the repair process, as does the coordination required to ensure that whomever is working on the repairs, can properly access all necessary locations.

Weather conditions further compound the challenges of exterior structural repairs. Repair work conducted outdoors is subject to the whims of nature, including rain, wind, extreme temperatures, and sunlight. Inclement weather can disrupt work schedules, compromise worker safety, and hinder the effectiveness of repairs. Moreover, certain materials and techniques may be sensitive to environmental conditions, requiring careful planning to ensure that work can proceed optimally.

Structural integrity is another critical consideration when undertaking exterior repairs. Issues such as cracks, corrosion, or deterioration on the exterior of a home, may indicate underlying structural problems that need to be addressed comprehensively.

Identifying the root cause of these issues and developing appropriate repair strategies demand expertise in structural construction. Failing to address underlying structural concerns adequately can lead to recurring problems and compromise the long-term stability of the home.

Regulatory compliance adds another layer of complexity to exterior structural repairs. Homes are subject to various codes, regulations, and permitting requirements governing construction, alterations, and maintenance. Depending on the location and nature of the repair work, permits may be required from local authorities, historic preservation boards, or other regulatory bodies. Ensuring compliance with these regulations necessitates thorough research, documentation, and communication with those directly involved, which can contribute to project delays and costs.

Safety concerns loom large in the realm of exterior structural repairs. Working at heights or in precarious conditions, poses inherent risks to the well-being of those working on the repairs.

Falls, on-the-job accidents, and other hazards, are primary considerations that must be addressed through proper safety protocols, training, and equipment.

Materials and techniques used in exterior structural repairs also present challenges. Matching existing materials, preserving architectural details, and ensuring compatibility with the home’s construction, require specialized knowledge and skills. Moreover, the selection of materials and techniques may be influenced by factors such as climate, usage, and aesthetic considerations. Balancing these factors, while adhering to budgetary constraints, can be a delicate task that requires careful planning and decision-making.

Exterior structural repairs are challenging due to a combination of factors, including accessibility issues, weather conditions, structural integrity concerns, regulatory compliance, safety considerations, materials and techniques, and cost considerations. Successfully addressing these challenges requires expertise, careful planning, and effective coordination among all involved in the repair process. By understanding and navigating these challenges, it’s possible to undertake exterior structural repairs, which restore the integrity and functionality of homes, while ensuring the safety and well-being of those working to fix things, as well as those who reside in the home.

Structural repairs, although often difficult to execute, are as important to take care of, as they are arduous.

For without correctly addressing them as quickly as possible once they are recognized, can lead to significantly greater damage down the road that will be even MORE burdensome to undertake!

Frederick Lewis DeAngelis

Owner of Deep Meadow Farm Audio Recording & Mastering by L.A.Reilly Frederick has been a regular figure in the New England festival, club and singer/songwriter circuits. His recording studio is located in Barrington. His passion for this art form allows him to create truly inspiring results that he guarantees you will love regardless of your budget or the size of your project. Additionally he has a network of world class vocalists and instrumentalists available to support any genre if your project requires session musicians.

LA: Wow, doing my research on Deep Meadow Farm Audio Recording & Mastering, I researched your background as well and I could do a whole interview on just you. You’re a producer, mixer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and music educator with over 35 years of experience. Your credentials are amazing. You have a bachelor’s degree in Music Production from Berklee College of Music and a bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science from Rhode Island College. Tell me about your journey from how you got involved in choosing this career to owning your own recording studio.

young and naive, I believed the negative things they told me about the industry and so I dropped out, a dumb move I always regretted. I transferred to Rhode Island College, got my degree in Computer Science, and started my career in high tech. However, I never stopped thinking about making music and dreaming that one day I’d return to Berklee. In 2017 I started working for them in a tech position. One of the job’s perks was free classes. I took 26 and two years ago, 40 years after I started there, I earned my degree. I opened Deep Meadow Farm officially in 2021.

FD: I didn’t choose this career. The career chose me. When I was a kid I would watch Ed Sullivan at my grandparents.

That’s where I saw and heard The Beatles. Their music set me on this path. I got my first guitar at eight, started lessons at 12, and played in bands at 13. I wrote my first song when I was 10 and I’ve been writing ever since. I couldn’t afford studio time as a kid, and I wanted the ability to stretch out artistically and experiment, so I purchased a 4-track tape machine and taught myself how to use it. From there it was a natural progression to where I am today. I attended Berklee majoring in Audio Recording (which is now called Music Production and Engineering). After my fourth semester I tried to get an internship back home but the people I encountered were, let’s say, a bit unpleasant. Being

LA: You’re the founder of Homegrown Music Seminars group education program. Tell me about this …you teach students at all levels.

FD: To me music is a gift that I feel very fortunate to have and I enjoy sharing it. It gives me great satisfaction and keeps me balanced. It’s my form of therapy. If I can help somebody else find that enjoyment, that peace, I’m happy to do it. I primarily give seminars on anything from harmony, improvisation, songwriting, etc. I also try to organize an annual open mic with the proceeds going to a charity or a cultural service. At the last event I think we had 20 artists perform and we raised more than $1,500 for the East Providence Arts Council.

LA: I heard you played for U.S. President. How and when did this happen?

FD: It happened by chance at The Rod and Gun Club in Warren. My band played at a clambake. Jimmy Carter was coming through as part of a rally and the Secret Service asked us if the president could say a few words. They wanted us to play an opening song for him and asked if we knew any Allman Brothers songs. We didn’t so we gave them our setlist. They picked “American Band” by Grand Funk Railroad and had us change the chorus lyrics from “We’re an American Band” to “He’s our American man”. Pretty funny.

LA: Deep Meadow Farm provides music production services including recording, mixing, mastering, audio repair, restoration and audio post-production. Tell me when you started and how it started.

FD: My interest in doing this initially was to be able to record my own music. That branched out to wanting to record stuff by my friends. Then I thought well, I have all this gear and what I’m producing sounds pretty good, so .… It was a logical progression. Over the course of this journey I’ve built four recording studios, the first one in my parents’ basement.

LA: There are a lot of recording studios in Rhode Island.

What makes Deep Meadow Farm stand out from the rest?

FD: You would want to come to me for my taste. As a producer I try to take your song and elevate it to its highest emotional potential. For example, local artist Mark Cutler allowed me to produce a song for him called “Suffering”. He’s brilliant and it is a beautiful and powerful song. Together we reviewed three candidate songs he had and picked this one. Then we reviewed his lyrics, the chord progression, the arrangement, and the instrumentation. As a producer you do whatever the artist needs you to do. You can offer a lot of stuff but the artist makes the final decisions. Mark, with all his accomplishments and talent, graciously entertained my suggestions and even accepted a few of them. So why would someone come to me? You would come to me because you like the work I’ve done, because I can guide you through the production process, because I can take on the parts of this work that would distract you and take your energy away from your performance, and hopefully because I’m easy to work with. Also, you don’t have to hire me as a producer.

You could just come in to record, or you could hire me to mix the tracks I record or tracks you’ve recorded somewhere else, maybe in your home studio.

LA: You’ve worked with some big names in the industry including multiple Grammy Winner Prince Charles Alexander who worked with Sting and Usher. Matthew Ellard who worked with Queen, Paul McCartney and Ozzy Osbourne. Former AES president nominee Jonathan Wyner who worked with Bowie, Springsteen and Aerosmith and Mark Wessel who worked with Sony, CBS and Paramount Pictures. When did you work with them and can you tell me the most important thing you learned from them?

FD: They were all my professors at Berklee and I stay in touch with many of them. They shared lots of tips and tricks, and ways to be more efficient through the process. But the most important lessons were about the soft skills. Recording can be a nerve wracking process. Knowing how to make the artist comfortable so they can give their best performance is an invaluable skill. Before my clients step into the studio I have the entire session prepared for them including any creature comforts they may have requested (within reason).

I do everything I can to make the artist feel at ease, and make every dollar they spend as cost effective as possible, and earn their trust.

LA: That’s an amazing list of technology and gear you use at your studio. Tell me about which ones you like to use and what some of them do.

FD: Pro Tools and Logic Pro are my Digital Audio Workstations (DAWs) of choice. That’s where I spend most of my time once the artist leaves. In my opinion Pro Tools is better for tracking, editing and mixing. Logic is superior for anything MIDI (Music Instrument Digital Interface). Of course I’ve got favorite microphones, outboard gear, and software but the DAW is at the heart of it all.

LA: How has technology advanced since you started?

FD: It is a different animal altogether. When I started we were recording to tape and you had to get the “take” just right. You could manipulate it but it wasn’t easy. Now it’s an entirely different ballgame. The tools allow us to do things today we couldn’t even imagine back then. However, the artistic part, the human part, remains the same: delivering a quality performance, knowing how to capture that performance, inspiring the artists, managing the budget and timeline, selecting instrumentation, the arrangements, writing quality lyrics, etc. It’s the way that it’s captured and the way it can be manipulated that has changed, and some of this stuff is pretty complex with a significant learning curve.

LA: What was your favorite recording that you recorded at the studio?

FD: That would be the song I wrote for my wife. I wrote three. The first two, after they were finished, I realized didn’t capture the person she is and the way I feel about her, so I threw them out. With the third one I got it right. It’s called “A Real Woman”. Here’s the YouTube link to it. https:// youtu.be/hnHEsege9fA LA: Who is your dream artist that you would love to record at your studio?

FD: Jeff Beck LA: Lastly, besides owning your own recording studio, making videos and music, what else do you do for fun?

What is your favorite Rhode Island restaurant ?

FD: Spending time with family and friends and my dogs. Me and my wife like to hike and do things that make us laugh.

My favorite restaurants would have to be Hemenway’s and Pan e Vino.

Coming May 1, the release of his new song, ‘Top of the World’, addresses wealth inequality in the United States.

The music video illustrates the stark contrast between the absurd, some might say obscene, excesses of the top one percent and the rest of us. It was written and performed

by Frederick and the brilliantly talented Mark Rodrigues, Ronnie Fellela, and Gregory Scott Arruda.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN THIS ON YOUR OWN. A hot pan left unattended on the stove started a fire that not only destroyed the kitchen pictured above, but also spread toxic smoke, sticky soot, and other residues throughout every room in the house. A furnace puffback at another property belched smoke and soot throughout the home via its air duct system, coating walls, ceilings, floors — just about everything inside — with oily, black grime.

Almost as bad as the flames from a fire, smoke, soot, and other toxic residue left behind by these types of property disasters need to be cleaned away quickly before even more damaging effects can develop.

Eliminating smoke and soot residue is one of the most difficult aspects of disaster restoration and to safely minimize further damage, these substances must be strictly handled by specially trained restoration professionals, like Rhode Island Restoration.

Expertly trained in soot and smoke removal as well as water damage and full building reconstruction and repair, both homes were quickly and thoroughly cleaned and then fully restored to their pre-disaster conditions within weeks — much to the relief of the grateful homeowners.

Celebrating Mom on Mother’s Day

By Julia Romano

There aren’t any other people in this world who do all that Moms do. Mothers are most certainly pros at creating and strengthening bonds, while loving unconditionally, actions that are simply unique to them. That’s why Mother’s Day is a time when we must honor all of the ladies out there who spend their entire existence caring for and focusing on who’s most important to them - their children. The least we can do on just a single day each year is to put forth extra effort into planning something extra special for the amazing Mom in our lives.

Moms are not always “mothers,” but can be any special lady who takes the time to put you first, to ensure that you feel loved no matter what the circumstances. These “mothers,” who you share a maternal bond with, also deserve to be acknowledged on Mother’s Day. So, what type of plans are considered extra special for Mom? Well, that can depend on so many different things. Taking into account your mother’s likes and dislikes, as well as her wishes and

68 Shop In RI

desires are a must, and putting together something that will be a total surprise, will delight her to no end.

Maybe she hopes for day or night out of the kitchen, or needs a break from cleaning up after you and your siblings, so get you and your siblings in gear and shock your mother by cleaning the house inside and out, and follow that with a dinner at a restaurant, or one that is homemade - and yes, clean up after the meal too.

Let’s face it, all Moms deserve whatever it is she desires. So, if you are one that can afford to splurge on your mother, how about planning a spa day, buying her a special piece of jewelry, or maybe even plan a vacation to her favorite destination, with or without you? Don’t take it personally if she would most enjoy some alone time, basking in the sun or touring a city she loves with her hubby, significant other, or even going solo.

Remember, it’s all about Mom! Mother’s Day ideas are not one size fits all, and only you know your Mom well enough to know

what will be most satisfying to her.

One easy way of satisfying any Mom is simply showing your love and appreciation for the countless times and ways that she has expressed her adoration for you, even when you may not have deserved it.

This year, Mother’s Day falls on Sunday, May 12th, and there are plenty of ways you can celebrate your Mom. So kids (and hubbies, too), it’s time to put your heads together. There’s definitely ideas out there that will honor your mother in the way she deserves on this very special day.

Here are some specific ideas to help you honor your amazing mother…

There are countless local Rhode Island businesses where you will find something as perfect for mom as she is! Check online for special Mother’s Day restaurant menus, bakeries, floral shops, travel agencies, gift shops, jewelry stores, and so many more. Choose one, two, or more, to create the best Mother’s Day plans ever, for the best Mother, ever!

The best local jewelry business to hand pick something exquisite for your exquisite Mom is Anthony’s Jewelers on 1525 Mineral Spring Avenue in North Providence. At Anthony’s, you will not only find something precious and unique that Mom will obsess about, but it will not drain your bank account!

bringing breakfast to her. Create a breakfast tray with her favorite fruits, drink, and breakfast foods, and then let her go back to her slumber for as long as she wishes.

Spend some quality time with your mom watching TV. Sometimes moms just need a break, and what better way to wind down than with a movie or two ? This is a simple and fun way to celebrate a relaxing and maybe even a rainy Mother’s Day - and let her pick out the show on her special day! Don’t forget the popcorn and other treats!

Give your mom a break by doing some cooking. This is a simple way to show your mom how much you appreciate her. After all, she’s been cooking for you for years! Do your best to recreate your mom’s favorite meal, and serve it in a special way.

Reserve a table at Mom’s favorite local restaurant and surprise her with a delightful meal, and a bottle of her favorite wine! There are so many to choose from, so maybe choose one for dinner and another for dessert! Check online to search for special Mother’s Day menus and prices!

Whatever it is that you plan for your mother on this Mother’s Day, don’t forget the most important thing - thank God and praise God for giving you the most amazing Mom!

A beautiful bouquet can make your mom’s day.

Not only are flowers beautiful, just like your mom, but they’re a gift that can bring her joy for many, many days. Pick up a bright bouquet at a local florist to place on the dining table Mother’s Day morning, or order flowers to be delivered to your mom’s doorstep, and add in a box of chocolates to make it extra special.

“We are appealing to the public to come in with their used vehicles. Right now, we do not have available inventory to fulfill orders,” Durrani said.

By Mark Berger Located on George Washington Highway (Rte. 116) on the Smithfield/Lincoln line, the dealership currently has new and certified, pre-owned vehicles available to own.

To help facilitate their need for additional certified, pre-owned vehicles, Toyota of Smithfield also offers 115% of the book value for any used cars. It does not matter whether customers decide on purchasing a car from their lot.

Regardless of what type of car or truck you want, Toyota of Smithfield has the experience to make purchasing a car simple.
