SALVATION PRAYER

Dear Heavenly Father I know that you love me even though I have broken your laws. I have heartfelt sorrow for my sins and I ask that you forgive my sins and direct my life. I believe Jesus shed his blood and died for my sins, was buried and was bodily raised to life on the third day. I ask Jesus to be my Savior and my Lord. I pray in the NAME of JESUS, Your Beloved Precious Eternal SON. Amen.

BY JENNIFER COATES

For the hundreds of drivers who frequent Tiouge Avenue in Coventry every day, the presence of Quality Fuel is a familiar ~ and welcome ~ sight. To start, Quality Fuel has one of the least expensive gas prices in the entire city (and beyond). Those who need a fill-up will always get a better deal if paying by cash, but even credit cards yield the best deal in town ~ often by as little as only ten cents more per gallon. You canNOT beat these prices!

Quality Fuel is a gas station, convenience store, AND a smoke shop (part of the larger Smokeland® family). The store is now under NEW OWNERSHIP! This location is one of thirty-seven such stores around New England that are owned and operated by three brothers who came to America from Pakistan seven years ago. These brothers owe everything they have to the opportunities they have been given here in our country, and they never take it for granted. Brothers Umar Saleem, Ali Saleem and Zubair Saleem agree that America has given them a chance to “prove themselves” with their tireless work ethic and constant attitude of gratitude.

You would be lucky to catch one of these brothers at their newly-acquired location, but more often than not, you will meet Quality Fuel’s trusted manager, Derrick Martin. Both Derrick and Umar are residents of Coventry and are committed to serving their fellow neighbors, friends and broader community. It is always about “people over profits.”

Customer satisfaction is the only priority of this team. If you have any questions, just ask. The unbelievable price of gas is only one of the many offerings of Quality Fuel. This is a convenience store that offers everything one needs for

convenience! If you need any common pantry items, ice cream, snacks and drinks of every kind, or even food for Fido, you will find it here. If you need home essentials such as laundry or dish detergent, you will find it here. If you want to avoid the long lines of a larger store, you will find what you need here. Enjoy free Beantown® coffee with every purchase.

Quality Fuel is also known for its huge and diverse stock of recreational tobacco products including organic tobacco, electronic devices, cigarettes and more. Everything you need if you enjoy smoking cigarettes or flavored Hooka products, you will not be disappointed. Everything is branded, original

and FRESH. If you want something, Derrick and their knowledgeable staff are here to help.

While you are at it, visit the newly-upgraded Keno lounge to take your chance at the lottery!

Stay tuned for news of the soon-to-be opened Hooka bar and full-service bar & restaurant named “The Lounge” on Providence Street!

Quality Fuel is open seven days a week, 6:00am until 11:00pm. It is located at 585 Tiogue Avenue. Follow them on Facebook or call 401-320-7009 for more info.

Fuel is a familiar sight ~ and a familiar destination ~ for motorists who travel along Tiogue Avenue

Les Lalanne Sculptures

In 1966, Claude and FrancoisXavier Lalanne became known as the co-creating duo “Les Lalanne” (The Lalannes). The husband-and-wife team made surrealist dreamlike sculpture, bridging the real and the unreal to create unique hybrid sculpture.

Francois-Xavier is best known as a creator of sculptural animals that were not only pieces of art but also were furniture. Claude’s inspiration is drawn from vegetation and body parts, often combining the two to produce original surrealist forms.

Claude created cast body parts in the 1970s including the “Doigt” sculptures. “Doigt,” which means “finger” in French, are realistic copper caps that can be slipped on the tips of fingers. They are each about 1 inch high. Some of the Doigt sculptures included parts of plants, flowers or insects to construct a new dreamlike being. Les Lalanne sculptures are well known and widely collected.

CURRENT PRICES

Q:I

heard old Fisher-Price toys are collectible. We have a Fisher-Price School Days desk with a green magnetic chalkboard top and a pullout tray filled with magnetic plastic letters. A compartment with a sliding lid holds extra letters and numbers, and an open section above it holds 16 word or number stencil cards. You put the card on top of the chalkboard and fill in the spaces to make a word. The number “176” is on the side and there’s a red carrying handle on the bottom. What is this worth?

A:Fisher-Price was founded by Herman Fisher, Irving Price and Helen Schelle in East Aurora, New York, in 1930. The company was bought by Quaker Oats in 1969. It was spun off in 1991 and operated as an independent company until 1993, when it was bought by Mattel. Fisher-Price made the No. 176 School Days desk beginning in 1972. It came with chalk and an eraser. Sets that are missing some of the letters or cards

• The way some items are packaged these days, you need to be Houdini to get into them. When you’re dealing with blister packs — items sealed inside a hard plastic wrapper that looks to be heat crimped on the outsides — try your can opener. You can run it around the edge of stubborn plastic packages, enough to get the item out. It’s more secure than a carpet knife or razor.

• Want to be able to tell at a glance which key belongs to the front door, the shed, your grandma’s house, etc.? Raid your (or your wife’s or daughter’s) stash of nail polish to paint the tops of keys to color code them.

• “Styrofoam trays that come with meat or in the produce area are very handy helpers for lots of little jobs. If yours are clean and unmarred, wash with hot, soapy water, rinse and dry for later. They are perfect for sending a friend home with leftovers, as you can cover the meal with plastic wrap. There is then no need to return a plate.” — D. in Indiana

• For a deck of playing cards that has gotten sticky, put it in a bag (paper or plastic) and add a bit of baby powder. Shake vigorously. Take the cards out and shuffle to get off the extra powder. They are likely good as new.

• “Tidy loosely folded electric cords by storing them in cardboard tubes. The tubes can be cut to fit from a paper towel roll, or you can use a smaller, toilet-paper roll. Even long cords can be stored together in a gift-wrap core. Do not overfill a tube, nor wind any electrical cord too tightly.” — O.R. in Nevada

• If you have a juice spill on clothing, try club soda to remove it when the stain is fresh.

Stand Downs are one-, two- or threeday events for homeless veterans with varying services offered, depending on the length of the event. A location might have services ranging from medical screenings and dental care, benefits counseling (this can be for Department of Veterans Affairs, Social Security and food stamps) and legal advice, to housing assistance, clean clothing and showers, job search help, haircuts, substance abuse referrals/ recovery and much more.

A wide variety of government agencies, individual groups and veteran service organizations are on hand at each event to provide help to homeless veterans who attend. Some of those groups and agencies include Department of Labor, community service providers, VA medical centers and more.

To see the schedule for this year, go to www.va.gov/homeless/events.asp and either filter by date or state. More will be added as time goes on, so check back if there’s nothing in your area right now. You can also check the site for the National Coalition for Homeless Veterans (nchv.org/current-standdowns) for a list of 2023 Stand Downs.

If you find an event and know you want to participate, contact the people listed for that event. If you’ll likely need transportation, be sure to tell them and then keep in touch.

And if you can volunteer, sign up soon so event organizers will know how much help they’ll have. Can you cook? Can you drive to pick up participants for the event? Are you a barber? Any of those services and more will be welcome.

If you’re part of an organization and want to provide services, contact the nearest VA medical center and ask for the VA Stand Down point of contact. Depending on the services you propose to provide, your group might be eligible for a grant to help with costs.

Last week I was enjoying a to-go dinner with the Bruneau Crew before one of our auctions and we started talking about the types of essential pieces everyone should have in their personal collections. Since we have so many and specialties and interests here, it became a well-rounded list. I got to thinking that advice from the pros here at Bruneau & Co would be an interesting topic to write about and share with you, so here it is!

1. Something Nostalgic: I will start with myself and perhaps this is obvious if you follow my work, but including something you love from your childhood is a must for any collector. Nothing beats having a favorite toy or comic from your youth displayed in your adulthood home – the only problem is you have to resist playing with them!

2. Something Historic: Maybe it is because military history is his specialty, but Joel advocates everyone have something in their collection with a past – even if it is not militaria related. Bonus points if it has a provenance proving the item was in an important place at an important time!

3. Something Functional: This is my wife, Ashle’s, suggestion because I fill our house up with so many toys and comics. She really enjoys when we acquire something for our collection that actually serves a purpose. Perhaps it is a vase or a

piece of furniture, so long as it doesn’t just sit around collecting dust!

4. Something Mechanical: Kevin is obviously biased because he is an avid car collector, but he has always had an ad-

miration for mechanisms. Whether it be BMWs, vintage steam engines, or antique clocks, he believes anything that moves and was manufactured before all this modern technology is cool to have in your collection.

5. Something Inherited: It might not be the most valuable item in your collection, but Joel’s assistant Jon believes it is absolutely important to keep something passed down through the generations in your family. Does that mean you have to keep all your grandparents’ Hummels? No…. but maybe you should keep their favorite one around to honor their memory.

6. Something Unique: Becca suggests everyone find something one-of-a-kind for their collections. If it is hand-made, a little imperfect, quirky, fun to look at, or all of the above and it speaks to you – make it yours! She says it doesn’t really matter what it is: art, jewelry, furniture – as long as it is the only one like it in the world!

7. Something Fancy: According to Mary, everyone should splurge on themselves now and again, so acquiring a nice piece of jewelry, a designer handbag, or another couture accessory is a must. Having items like that in your collection to bring out for special occasions will always bring you joy – and they will probably be good investments, too!
