Freshen Up Your Meal Prep

by Rachael DeVaux, RD

(NAPSA)—With more than 3.9 million “mealprep” hashtags on Instagram, many people have found success in living a healthier lifestyle through meal prepping. Not only does it save you time during the busy workweek, it allows for a better variety of healthy, ready-to-eat foods at your disposal.

Prepping 101

Of course, this doesn’t mean you should spend your entire day in the kitchen prepping every last detail of your meals for the week—simply cook up or prepare several staple items to have on hand for those quick and wholesome, no-brainer meals or snacks when you need them. Here are some tips on how to make the most of your prepping sessions:

Chop, slice, dice, repeat. Start with something as simple as prepping fruits and veggies in advance to have ready in the fridge for meals or snacks; store them in glass containers for easy organization and motivation to stick to your meal plan.

Double the batch. Along with prepared produce, cook large batches of staple ingredients such as quinoa, brown rice and proteins to make meal assembly quick and easy.

Add a dash of this, a dash of that. Use seasonings and sauces to mix up the avor pro le of similar ingredients. One night, dinner could be an Asian stir-fry, while the next it could be a Mexicaninspired bowl.

Try something new. Meal “preppers” may eventually become tired of throwing together the same old meals and find the food they prepare mundane. When fatigue hits, seek out a new recipe or work with a new ingredient. I like to incorporate tasty and brightly colored fruit such as mango to refresh everyday meals and snacks.

To save time, prep veggies and other ingredients in advance of making your meals. To make them more nutritious and fun, include mangos.

Roll Up Your Sleeves

For a healthy, tasty and quick meal this week, try my Mango Spring Rolls. is recipe is a delicious step out of the ordinary and it’s chock-full of nutrients. One cup of mango provides 100 percent of your daily vitamin C, 35 percent of your daily vitamin A and 12 percent of your daily ber.

Maintaining Your Health At Work

(NAPSA)—Researchers say that when it comes to keeping healthy, too many Americans are sitting down on the job. at is, the average worker spends 13 hours a day in a seated position. Leading such an inactive lifestyle can increase your risk of diabetes, cardiovascular disease and cancer.

What You Can Do

Fortunately, you can follow ve easy steps to tness in your workday: Walk and Talk: When you meet with your co-workers, do so on your feet. A less formal environment can spark new ideas as you walk along, plus your blood ow increases and more oxygen travels to your brain.

Get Moving: Park at the back of the lot, take the stairs and walk over to a coworker’s desk rather than calling. Join co-workers on walks for charity that will bene t your health and the community.

Successful Snacking: Just about everyone has faced the break room challenge—you walk in to nd a box lled with potato chip bags and a bowl of candy taunting you. Save yourself the frustration and instead of these snacks try a tray of fresh fruit and vegetables, popcorn with low-sodium content or a homemade trail mix to satisfy your 3 p.m. cravings. Additionally, try replacing soda in your daily regimen with water or all-natural fruit juices without added sugar.

Touch Your Toes: Remind yourself to take a brief break at the top of every hour to stretch your body. As you sit hunched over a computer, your neck and shoulder muscles tense up, resulting in future discomfort. Engaging in stretches will help keep you nimble and comfortable throughout the day.

1 tsp tamari ½ lime, squeezed

1 Tbsp honey

2–3 Tbsp hot ltered water

Directions: Slice two mango cheeks into long, narrow strips and set aside. Slice cabbage, onion, cucumber and red bell pepper into very thin 4-inch pieces and set aside. Prepare rice paper as instructed on package. Once pliable, place a few of each ingredient (including cilantro and carrots) in the center of the paper, folding in the sides and rolling until all veggies are inside and paper is closed. To store, leave some space between rolls to prevent rolls from sticking together.

Dipping Sauce: Whisk or blend together all ingredients until consistency is creamy.

Mango How-To

If you’re new to working with mangos, follow these quick tips for proper prep. Selection. Don’t judge a mango by its color—red does not mean ripe. A ripe mango will be slightly so like a peach or avocado.

Storage. Keep unripe mangos at room temperature. Never refrigerate mangos before they’re ripe. Once ripe, mangos can be moved to the refrigerator to slow down ripening for several days.

Cutting. To cut a mango, simply slice o the sides of the fruit, avoiding the large seed in the center. Once you have these two sides (cheeks), you can get to the esh and slice or dice as needed. en, simply scoop the fruit out of the skin.

Walking with your co-workers to raise money for a good cause is a great way to reduce your risk of ill health. Here, BankUnited employees get t at a charity walk.

Pursue Happiness: Perhaps most importantly, take a moment for yourself every day to dial into your mental well-being. Developing a positive relationship with co-workers, rewarding yourself for accomplishing goals, and taking time to practice gratitude will help to curb stress.

What Others Are Doing

Many companies have recognized this and approached it head-on with office wellness initiatives. “A productive company is one that wishes the best for its employees and acts in their best interest,” said John A. Kanas, chairman, president and CEO at BankUnited. “At our headquarters, we opened our own café offering healthy dining options and are building a gym for our employees. Our employees have embraced our wellness program and even started clubs for running, walking and Zumba exercises.”

BY JENNIFER COATES

The door of Jill Brody’s house swings open as Stephen Gustafson steps inside, full of his signature boundless energy and enthusiasm. Gus, as Gustafson is affectionately known, pulled out his pad of paper and stood ready for his first assignments in Brody’s home. Gustafson is an official “handyman” ~ he is, in fact, the one and only “Household Hero”!

Brody asks: Do you fix a leaky faucet? Yes. Replace light fixtures? Yes. Hang curtain rods? Yes. Remove a piece of outdated furniture?

Yes. Install baby gates? Yes. Powerwash my brick patio?

Yes. Fix a broken door jam?

Yes. Assemble a bookcase?

Yes! He can even clean area rugs! Yes! Yes to everything Brody had on her “honeydo” list. The Household Hero had arrived in the shape of a twenty-year carpenter, professional window installer and genuine “Jack-of-allTrades.”

Everyone needs a Household Hero, whether you live alone or not, whether you are young or old, there are ALWAYS those projects around the house that never get done. Sometimes, we just don’t have the skills; sometimes it’s a simple lack of time and/or motivation. The projects languish forever while new ones accumulate. Things break down. Things need to be moved. Things need to be upgraded. Never fear, NO JOB IS TOO SMALL for this Household Hero!

From his earliest years, Gustafson has always had a knack for building, fixing, and making things. Moreover, he is always refining his skills ~ getting extra schooling and training; pushing himself to learn more and to do more, the right way. He will come to you, wherever you are, to tackle your household projects.

The Household Hero is also an avid outdoorsman

who is well acquainted with some of the perils of being in nature. A few years ago, he got very sick from the bite of the dangerous Asian Longhorn tick, a new species of tick here in Rhode Island. He determined then to get his pesticide license so he could combat this nasty insect as well as New England’s other unwanted pests ~ fleas, mosquitos, and mostly, spiders.

Today, Gustafson does more than check things off your to-do list; he can protect your home/property with the use of a completely natural, non-toxic, family-friendly pest control treatment ~ for a one-time job or an ongoing commitment. You decide.

Gus will come to your home and, after a free consultation, will get right to work spraying this cedar-oil based product inside and outside of your house. Unlike its toxic counterparts, NO wait time is necessary following this process. You don’t need to close your windows. It is completely harmless to people, plants, pets, and bugs such as bees and butterflies (it has to do with the way they breathe!)

Gustafson can be your Household Hero. He is bonded and insured as a General Contractor (#GC48448) and licensed as a pesticide specialist. Check out Gus’s website at www. thehouseholdhero999.com or call him today at 401-9992715.

It Is Time To Spring

(NAPS)—Spring isn’t just when we spring forward in time, it is also the time when we spring into action to clean those places that likely haven’t been cleaned at all: your heating and cooling air ducts. at can be a problem because that’s where dirt, germs, mold, mildew, pet dander and other allergens like to lurk. A six-room house can generate as much as 40 pounds of dirt, chemicals and pollutants in a typical year—which this wasn’t for many families. e contaminants make the heating and cooling system work harder, use more energy and wear out faster. at can get expensive. According to the U.S.

When Spring arrives it’s time to have your heating and cooling air ducts cleaned.

Department of Energy, 25 to 40 percent of the energy used for heating or cooling a home is wasted.

Fortunately, there’s an easy answer. Get the air ducts cleaned by a member of the National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA). ey possess general liability insurance, are trained and tested, agree to a code of ethics, and clean and restore your heating and cooling system following NADCA standards, so they provide results with a high level of safety and security.

Chinese Porcelain

The Hundred Treasures theme was popular in Chinese art during the Qing dynasty (1644-1911). Many objects of daily life that impart symbolic meaning were incorporated into artwork. A single vase can be a symbol of female fertility, yet this red Chinese porcelain has several small relief vases on its surface to suggest even more meaning.

Flowers are not only painted to decorate the small raised vases, but are also painted on the red ground to look like they are floral arrangements in the raised vases. Flowers are eternal symbols of beauty, and the brilliant red color of the vase has many associations to China.

The country’s flag is red, which is associated not only with power, but with luck, happiness and celebrations. Traditional Chinese brides wear red for luck, and the Lunar New Year is celebrated with red lanterns and many other red decorations. The blue seal mark on the bottom of the base is like those on Qing dynasty porcelain.

Q:I’dlike to know the value of a set of two deck chairs (possibly teak) from the SS Oceanic. They have their original blue cushions with “Home Lines” and a logo in gold. What do you think they are worth?

A:HomeLines was an Italian company that operated cruise ships and ocean liners. The company was in business from 1946 to 1988, when it merged with Holland America Line. SS Oceanic was one of Home Lines’ cruise ships from 1965 to 1985, when it was sold to Premier Cruise Line. Most deck chairs don’t sell for high prices. Chairs by important makers or those with a connection to an important or historic event do sell for high prices. A deck chair from the Titanic, one of seven known and with a letter of authenticity, sold for almost $150,000 in 2015. The value of your deck chairs depends on condition and the history of the boat. They sell for $100 to $1,000.

2. Prep for better sleep with prebedtime habits

Springtime, especially with daylight Saving Time, can wreak havoc on your regular sleep schedule. If you plan ahead, however, good nighttime habits can improve relaxation, so the whole family can get a better night’s sleep.

You can encourage prep for rest by shutting down electronics an hour before bedtime and keeping phones and other devices out of kids’ bedrooms. This can help everyone to wind down and fall asleep faster at night, while lessening screen time.

3. Spring clean and organize your kitchen

The spring is a great time of year to declutter and sanitize your household, as a thorough cleaning can help reduce the levels of allergens, bacteria and viruses that could be present in your home. Blatner recommends starting with the most frequently used rooms first, like the kitchen.

By cleaning out and reorganizing your fridge and pantry, you can choose to put wholesome ingredients like fresh fruits and veggies, nuts, beans, oats, avocado and eggs at eye level. When mealprepping for the school week ahead, you’ll tend to grab these foods more often and guarantee your kids will be getting in their nutrition.

Time to see the chiropractor?

There’s an old adage in the chiropractic profession,” if it’s a chiropractic case nothing else will help”. If so, then what is a chiropractic case? A chiropractic case exists when spinal subluxations or misalignments are the primary cause of the patient’s condition or symptom complex. These spinal misalignments cause not only abnormal spinal joint and paraspinal muscle function but most importantly, cause persisting abnormal neurologic information from the subluxated segment(s) of the spine to fulminate into a regional condition whereby pain or reduced strength and movement then affects daily function and overall health.

Usual examples of chiropractic cases are patients complaining of headache associated with neck symptoms. Postural or activity related neck and back pain. Symptoms associated with inadequate diet, exercise, and poor posture and body mechanics. Symptoms of headache, dizziness, vertigo, or loss of balance caused from upper cervical spine subluxations are less obvious cases however respond as positively or are cured with chiropractic spinal adjustments. Establishing the diagnosis of spinal subluxation as the cause of the patient’s symptom complex or condition allows for fast and immediate treatment…..Spinal adjustments to correct the clinically relevant spinal misalignments. Chiropractic adjustments are manually performed with allied physical therapy treatment applied directly to the affected area of the spine resulting in an immediate relief or improvement. A series of these spinal adjustments are

performed until the symptoms and condition is resolved or improvement has plateaued. Fast and immediate symptom relief is a hallmark of chiropractic treatment. However maintaining a healthy chiropractic lifestyle involves a healthy diet and psychosocial lifestyle, regular exercise and proper posture and body mechanics. Regular periodic visits with the chiropractor insures use of this “compass” for maintaining a healthy chiropractic lifestyle and maintaining pain free or best function minimizing recurrence of symptoms or aggravation of condition.

Spinal subluxations occur from bad posture and biomechanics, repetitive strain, acute injury and viscerosomatic reflexes (internal organ neuroreflex arc with spinal segment i.e., esophageal heartburn symptoms causing midline upper back pain). In the cases of viscerosomatic cause of spinal subluxation, the underlying organ dysfunction is addressed through natural effective treatment with additional diagnostics or other medical specialty referral obtained when needed.

Dr. L’Europa is in his 35th year of chiropractic practice, employing manual chiropractic spinal manipulation, adjunctive physical therapy modalities, spinal decompression and traction, active physical therapy and rehabilitive exercise, instruction in proper diet, posture and body mechanics and SwimEx aquatic therapy at SpineTech in Knightsville, Cranston. Workers compensation, personal injury and medical insurances accepted.

What Everyone Should Know About Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) affects approximately 3 million Americans with about 70,000 new cases diagnosed annually in the US. The prevalence of IBd appears to be on the rise with an increase from 2001 to 2018 among Medicare beneficiaries of all race and ethnicity groups.

What is IBD?

IBd is comprised of two diseases: Ulcerative Colitis (UC) and Crohn’s disease (CD). Both conditions cause inflammation and damage to the intestinal tract (small and large intestine). Cd can affect all parts of the intestinal tract while UC is limited to the colon. IBd can affect other parts of the body including joints (arthritis), eyes (uveitis), skin (pyoderma), liver, and more. IBd increases the risk of colorectal cancer and requires frequent surveillance with colonoscopy.

Are IBS and IBD the same thing?

Many people confuse IBS and IBd because they sound similar. Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a clinical condition based on a set of symptoms: abdominal pain with diarrhea, constipation, or both. IBd is a lifelong autoimmune disease caused by chronic inflammation of the intestinal tract. They are not the same disease but share many similar symptoms including diarrhea and abdominal discomfort which is why speaking to your doctor about your symptoms is important.

What are the most common symptoms of IBD?

The most common symptoms of IBd include diarrhea, abdominal pain, fatigue, weight loss, and rectal bleeding. The diarrhea may be frequent and result in the need to “rush” to the bathroom with urgency. Many of these symptoms can be debilitating and affect quality of life. People are often embarrassed to talk about their symptoms or seek help.

When are most people diagnosed with IBD?

While IBd can occur at any age, most patients are diagnosed before age 30. Many people with IBd may have rectal bleeding and think it is from hemorrhoids not realizing it could be a sign of IBd. After age 30 there is a second “peak” of diagnoses in the 50-60s age range so it is important for everyone to pay attention to the symptoms and speak with their doctor.

Why do people get IBD?

The exact cause of IBd is not known. Researchers believe it is a combination of genetics, environmental factors, and the body’s immune response. There are genetic risk factors including having a first-degree relative with Cd or UC. Historically, white populations had a higher incidence of IBd, but recent studies have shown an increase in IBd across other races and ethnicities.

How is IBD diagnosed?

The key part of diagnosing IBd starts with recognizing the symptoms. Let your doctor know if you are developing rectal bleeding, having pain after eating, or losing weight without intent. Your doctor may examine you and send you for blood and stool tests to check for anemia, signs of inflammation, or infection. To physically “look” at the intestinal tract your doctor may refer you to a gastroenterologist for an endoscopy and colonoscopy. This is done

Staying Healthy

England Health System; Chief of Surgery, Kent Hospital

by putting a small, thin, flexible tube with a camera in the body. Pictures and biopsies can be taken to help diagnose IBd. Imaging tests including CT scans and MRI may help with the diagnosis as well.

Is there a cure for IBD?

While there is no “cure” for IBd, we do have some excellent treatments to keep the disease under control. IBd often has periods of remission and active flare-ups and should be monitored carefully. There are different medications used to treat IBd including anti-inflammatory agents, immunomodulators, and biologic therapy. However, it is critically important to start treatment early before irreversible structural damage occurs. Time is of the essence in diagnosing and treating IBd.

Will you need surgery if you have IBD? Will you need a bag (colostomy/ileostomy)?

Most IBd can be managed medically, but sometimes the disease has progressed to structural damage requiring surgery. The patient will be referred to a colorectal surgeon to discuss surgical options. often, colorectal surgeons are able to offer minimally invasive surgical techniques (smaller incisions, less pain, earlier return to work/school) with laparoscopic or robotic surgery. Most IBd patients undergoing surgery worry if they will need a “bag” or “stoma” which refers to a colostomy or ileostomy. This is when a portion of the intestinal tract is brought up to the skin and waste is collected in a bag either temporarily or permanently. This is needed in a small number of IBd patients and why it is important to diagnose and treat early prior to structural damage.

Does IBD

affect your fertility?

With the peak of IBd in the 20s-30s this coincides with many starting families. It is important to make sure IBd is well controlled, ideally prior to becoming pregnant. Patients with female anatomy who conceive while in remission from IBd tend to remain in remission for the duration of their pregnancy. Conversely, poorly controlled IBd can lead to decreased fertility, and higher-risk pregnancies.

Take home points about IBD

It is important to pay attention and listen to your body’s symptoms. do not be embarrassed to call your doctor if you develop persistent diarrhea, rectal bleeding, or abdominal pain. Early diagnosis and intervention are key to achieving remission and preventing long-term structural damage in IBd. Here at Care new England (Kent Hospital/Women and Infant’s Hospital) we have dedicated teams including gastroenterology and colorectal surgery who work collaboratively to care for patients with IBd to ensure they are able to live their best possible healthy lives.

Slow and Steady Wins

the Race: The Art of Crockpot Glazed Pork

Some things are perfect just as they are and don’t require improvement. This is one of those things.

In these days of instant gratification, it isn’t popular to take the slow road. I love my instant pot, don’t get me wrong. But cooking a pork roast in the slow cooker or oven is better than using an instant pot because the slow and steady heat allows for even cooking and richer flavor.

If feeding a crowd or having leftovers are important to you, larger cuts of meat can also be cooked more evenly in an oven or slow cooker, which may not be possible in an instant pot. While an instant pot is convenient for quick cooking, an oven or slow cooker can result in a culinary masterpiece worthy of the wait.

The recipe I’m sharing today has been around forever. It’s melt-inyour-mouth juicy pork, enrobed in a sweet and tangy glaze. It’s all about the glaze. You could put this glaze on a flip-flop and I would eat it.

CROCK-POT BROWN SUGAR & BALSAMIC GLAZED PORK

Yield: 8 generous servings

Total time: 4 to 6 hours, plus glazing

- 5 pounds boneless pork sirloin

roast

2 teaspoons ground sage

1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt

Freshly ground black pepper

4 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 cup water

For the glaze:

1 cup dark brown sugar

1/2 cup balsamic vinegar

1/4 cup soy sauce

2 tablespoons cornstarch

1/4 cup water

Season the pork roast on all sides with sage, salt and pepper. Place pork, fat cap side up, in the slow cooker and sprinkle the garlic evenly over the top. Carefully add water into the slow cooker so you don’t wash off the seasoning. Cook on high for 4 to 6 hours, or until the pork shreds easily with a fork. Carefully pull the roast from the slow cooker and place on an aluminumlined sheet pan, and let it rest.

about half the glaze into a gravy boat and set aside. Brush about half of the remaining glaze onto the pork and set under broiler for 1 to 2 minutes, until bubbly and caramelized. Repeat 2 to 3 more times until desired coating is achieved. Shred or slice pork against the grain into individual portions. Serve with reserved glaze on the side.

Oven directions: Preheat your oven to 350 F. Following the recipe and directions above, place the ingredients into a covered roasting pan or Dutch oven. Bake, covered, in the preheated oven for approximately 90 minutes to 2 hours, or until the pork shreds easily with a fork. Follow the directions for glazing the pork shown above.

It’s important to note that oven cooking times can vary, so be sure to keep an eye on the pork as it cooks to ensure that it doesn’t overcook or dry out.

And there you have it, slow and steady wins the race when it comes to making delicious, melt-in-yourmouth pork roast. Whether you choose to cook it in the oven or the slow cooker, this recipe for Crock-Pot Brown Sugar & Balsamic Glazed Pork is sure to be a crowd-pleaser. So take a break from instant gratification and give this recipe a try — your taste buds will thank you! ***

While the roast is resting, make the glaze. In a small saucepan, mix the ingredients for the glaze: brown sugar, balsamic vinegar, soy sauce and cornstarch mixed with the water. Heat over medium, stirring until mixture thickens, about 4 minutes.

Preheat your oven broiler. Pour

Care

to the impor- tance of preventative car maintenance. It’s the perfect time for you and your mechanic to per- form a checkup on your vehicle a er snow, rain and cooler temperatures have taken their toll.

Change Oil, Fluids and Air Filter

Professional mechanics recommend changing your oil every 5,000–10,000 miles to keep the engine run- ning smoothly. Check the owner’s manual for instructions before you get started.

Mechanics also recommend replacing your vehicle’s air lter at least once a year. Check your vehicle’s instruction manual to locate the lter, open its case and re- view how it’s positioned. Remove the old air lter and insert the new one in the same position, before closing the metal clips.

If you don’t feel com- fortable changing your own oil and air lter, your mechanic can change them for you. While you’re there, also have your power steer- ing, brake, transmission and windshield washer uid levels checked.

Fix Windshield Wipers

Faulty windshield wipers can be danger- ous during spring rain- storms. e good news is you can easily replace them on your own! Li the wiper arm away from the windshield, press the small tab on its underside and slide the blade o the arm before attaching a new blade.

Replace Headlights

Hazy headlights are not only an eyesore but decrease your visibili- ty at night. Open your engine compartment, remove the headlight’s power wires and discon- nect the old bulb. Handle the new bulb with

tissues or gloves, before reinstalling and recon- necting the wires.

When you’re nished with these tasks, you’ll need more than the traditional hand soap to clean up. Lava® Soap has the power of the pumice to quickly break through the toughest grease and grime while leaving your hands moisturized!

• When washing stockings by hand, add a tablespoon of vinegar to the rinse water. They will keep the stretch better. Also, if you line-dry them outdoors, slip a spoon or a few coins into the toe. This will keep them from twisting up in the wind.

• If you, like me, are washing your winter sweaters to pack away, add a bit of hair conditioner to the rinse. Also, don’t try to pull them into shape when drying. Just lay flat to dry. If you have a screen, you can set it up so that the sweater dries from both sides. This is best. — D.Y. in Kentucky

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 pray in the NAME of JESUS, Your Beloved Precious Eternal SON. Amen.

I talk about powder horns a lot here as I’m fascinated by them. Plain or carved, as long as they have a provenance, I get pretty excited when I handle one. A few weeks I ago I had two calls about horns at work. They were both unnamed, undated and had no real value. Then I got a third call, which at first I thought was going to be like the two before it - but I was wrong!

The owner of the horn sent me some images that evening after our conversation. I was out to dinner with my wife when they arrived, and I had to ignore both my wife and dinner to spend a few minutes taking a look. As the images downloaded, I realized I had seen the name on the horn, Richard Andrus, in a drawing by artist Rufus Grider. I quickly located the drawing in the collection of the New York Historical Society collection and sure enough, it was the same horn (although for some reason Grider flipped the scenes on the horn around Andrus’s name). It’s marked “RICHARD ANDRUS his/horn Made at Roxbury October 5th: 1775” and engraved with foliate designs, deep incised areas within the designs, crude trees, and a soldier. It has a slightly convex pine plug with an iron staple, and a tapered spout. The style of carving was also instantly recognized as that of “The Simsbury Carver,” as noted historian Bill Guthman referred to the unknown artist. When Bill wrote his book on powder horns, he had seen three by the same carver. I had found and

A Siege of Boston Horn with a Story

By Joel Bohy Historic Arms & Militaria Bruneau & Co. Auctioneers Cranston, RI

sold a fourth five or six years ago, with this one being the fifth known! The research then began.

Richard Andrus was from Simsbury, Connecticut. Using his date of death is his Revolutionary pension records, he was born about 1750. He was married in the spring of 1775, not long before he enlisted on May 4 and marched as a member of Captain Abel Pettibone’s 7th Company, 2nd Regiment, to the Siege of Boston and the fortifications at Roxbury, Massachusetts. He was at Roxbury until December 10 when their enlistments were over. He reenlisted on January 1, 1776, and served again in Captain Abel Pettibone’s Company until January 1, 1777. In March 1777, he enlisted as a teamster for three years in Captain Ozias Bingham’s Company, and in 1780 he enlisted yet again in Lieutenant Colonel Joseph Hait’s 2nd Connecticut Regiment. That’s quite a service record!

However, when Andrus tried to get a pension for his service, it was a struggle. His name on the early muster rolls had been spelled “Adams” and he couldn’t receive the monies he should have. After his death on October 24, 1826, his wife fought for his pension. Luckily these records survive in the National Archives for us to study. With the numerous petitions, it was proven that the “Adams” in the rolls should have been Andrus, and his wife Catharine received his full pension.

Kind of a sad story for a man who honorably served his country, and I’m glad his horn survived so that I (and you) could learn more about him!

You Could Be

5 Things You Need To Know Before Hiring A Roofing Contractor

1. NEVER give your roofing contractor a dime until 100%job completion. Everyone knows someone that has been burned by a contractor!

2. ALWAYS confirm that your roofing contractor has workman’s compensation insurance that covers roofing work. If you skip this step and someone gets injured then you may lose everything, you could even lose your home.

3. NEVER negotiate with your roofer, instead demand their best and final no haggle price right up front. This will guarantee that you always get their best price and avoid their pricing schemes/games.

4. ALWAYS get a lien waiver from your roofer before paying for the project. If you skip this step then you may be legally obligated to pay for the roof TWICE! That’s crazy but true.

5. ALWAYS confirm in writing that the labor/workmanship warranty from your roofer lasts as long as the manufacturer’s material warranty. What good is a lifetime roof if it only comes with a 2 year or 5 year workmanship warranty? If they do not have faith in the quality of their workmanship then how are you supposed to have faith in their work?

Congratulations!
