REMINDER’S The

R.I.’S FIRST WEEKLY SHOPPING GUIDE

REAL ESTATE SECTION

1. Name the first rock group to record and release “Turn! Turn!

Turn!”

2. Which group released “New York Mining Disaster 1941” as their debut single?

3. Who was Walden Robert Cassotto?

4. Who wrote “The Beat Goes On”?

5. Name the song that contains this lyric: “I would have waited forever if I’d known that you’d be here.”

Answers 1. The Byrds, in 1965. The lyrics (written by Pete Seeger) came from the Book of Ecclesiastes 3:1-8. The song is also subtitled “To Everything There Is a Season.”

2. The Bee Gees, in 1967. Two of the Gibb brothers wrote the song during a power outage at the record company. Their inspiration was the Aberfan disaster in Wales that saw the top of a mountain slide down and kill hundreds when it hit the town.

3. Bobby Darin. His “Dream Lover” was covered by numerous others, including Dion, and Ricky Nelson.

4. Sonny Bono, of Sonny & Cher, in 1967.

5. “One Promise Too Late,” by Reba McEntire, in 1987. The song tells of the regret of finally meeting the one she’s dreamed of ... after making a promise to someone else. The song topped country charts in both the U.S. and Canada. © 2023 King Features Syndicate

PHOTO CAPTION: This plant-based or stop by a branch to 480 Greenwich Avenue, Warwick 1217 Warwick Avenue, Warwick learn more.

Harvest Delight: Sweet Potato and Black Bean Chili As the autumn air turns cool and crisp, it’s time to warm your soul with a hearty bowl of Sweet Potato and Black Bean Chili. This recipe not only brings the comfort and flavor of chili to your table, but also bursts with vibrant autumn hues that will make your Halloween party or harvest gathering extra special.

Before the little ghosts and goblins head out for their sweet trick-or-treat adventures, make sure they enjoy a bowl of this nutrient-packed chili to fuel their fun-filled night with a dose of wholesome goodness.

This chili isn’t just about fantastic flavor, it’s a plant-based nutritional powerhouse that just happens to be vegan. Sweet potatoes bring a dose of vitamin A, fiber and natural sweetness. Black beans contribute plant-based protein and fiber. The colorful array of vegetables provides a variety of vitamins and antioxidants.

This recipe is flexible enough to be easily customized. To make this very kid-friendly, adjust the level of spice to appeal to your family.

This chili comes together quickly, so I advise having all the veggies chopped before you start sauteing the onions.

SWEET POTATO AND BLACK BEAN CHILI Yield: 4 (1 1/2 cup) servings

Total Time: 35 minutes 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 (1 cup) onion, diced, 3 cloves garlic, minced, or more to taste 3 (3 cups) sweet potatoes, peeled and chopped 3 (1 1/2 cups) carrots, sliced 1 (3/4 cup) red bell pepper, chopped 1 tablespoon chili powder 1/2 tablespoon cumin 1 teaspoon garlic powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon black pepper 1/2 teaspoon cayenne, optional (adjust to taste) 1/2 cup water or vegetable broth 1 (15-ounce) can black beans 1 (15-ounce) can diced tomatoes with chilies Assorted chili toppings: tortilla chips, diced onion, crackers, shredded cheese, sour cream

the pot.

As soon as the spices become beautifully fragrant, add the water or broth, beans and the tomatoes. Deglaze the pan by scraping the bottom of the pan, stirring to incorporate. Bring the pot to a boil then reduce heat to low.

Allow your chili to simmer, partially covered, stirring occasionally, over low heat for about 20 minutes, until the flavors marry, and the sweet potatoes and carrots are soft.

Serve in bowls and let your guests top their chili with their favorite toppings.

This chili is such a hit with my family, I always make at least a double batch. It’s great for meal prep and easy lunches, and it freezes beautifully.

This vegan chili is absolutely delicious and nutritionally balanced as written. But for those carnivores seeking a meaty twist, consider adding some cooked hamburger crumbles, shredded chicken or pork. Or give Italian sausage a try. Simply brown the sausage separately and mix it in at the end. It’s a delightful alternative that elevates this dish to a whole new level.

This Sweet Potato and Black Bean Chili embodies the essence of budget-friendly style. As you prepare for your Halloween or harvest gathering, remember that www.JasonCoblentz.com you don’t have to break the bank to create a warm and memorable This plant-based chili is a nutritional meal. Enjoy your flavorful, colorpowerhouse. ful and budget-friendly creation! *** In a Dutch oven or soup pot over medium heat, warm the olive oil.

A Musket from the Siege of Boston and Before

By Joel Bohy Historic Arms & Militaria Bruneau & Co. Auctioneers Cranston, RI A few months ago, a friend contacted me about a musket and bayonet he had purchased, and since this era wasn’t really his thing, he shipped it off to me. From the few pictures that had been sent, I thought it was a really cool French Model 1728, however, it had a more interesting history than that.

When it arrived, I took it out of the box and looked at the lock.

It was marked “JACQUES VALET/A LIEGE” in front of the cock, which I was not expecting. I had seen these Liege markings on a French-style lock before, but not on a complete military musket.

With the package were some documents that went with the gun from noted dealer of antique arms Norm Flayderman which gave some information to start working on. It seems Norm had gotten the gun from artist A. Lassall Ripley of Lexington, Massachusetts. Ripley was an artist known for his depictions of landscapes, history, and hunting scenes who was actually a friend of

my father-in-law. It had descended in a friend of Ripley’s family before it ended up in Lexington. Ripley traded it to Flayderman in 1958, and he soon flipped it to a collector in Chicago. Luckily with all of the correspondence, it gave me some information to go by as to who had owned it during the 18th century.

The letter from Ripley mentioned that the man who had carried it was named Benjamin Hall, and mentioned a town called Barrington, but no state. It also mentioned a country store called Calef’s in the village of Barrington. Turned out, I had been to Calef’s Country Store numerous times as a kid in Barrington, New Hampshire. The letter also mentioned that Hall may have been at Lexington & Concord or Bunker Hill. Obviously, being in New Hampshire he didn’t make it to Lexington, but he could have made it to Bunker Hill. After searching the records, he didn’t make it in time for Bunker Hill, but he did make it to the Siege of Boston.

Banjamin Hall was born on December 12, 1730 in Barrington.

In 1775, he enlisted in Captain Benjamin Titcomb’s company, Col. Enoch Poor’s New Hampshire regiment. In late June, his unit marched to Boston and he was on the siege lines in Medford, Massachusetts. When his enlistment ran out, he went back to Barrington to continue his life as a farmer and died on October 30, 1810. A check of the Stafford County, New Hampshire his-

tory mentions that Hall “was a soldier of the Revolution, commencing at Cambridge, and brought home a remarkable musket.”

What the writer of the history didn’t know is that the history of the gun was even more remarkable. Recent research published in Man at Arms magazine shows that the French government ordered muskets from Liege for their militia in Canada. The guns were shipped over for use during the French & Indian wars. This gun was likely captured and was used by Hall during his service in the American Revolution and also has an early French bayonet which may be original to the gun. It truly is a great musket with multiple layers of history.

’Tis The Season To Be Thankful!

As Thanksgiving approaches, we shift to a space of reflection and practice gratitude for all that has happened this year.

Like all things, the process of aging can present its fair set of challenges, but the positive aspects of old age drastically outweigh the negatives. PrimeTime highlights things to be thankful for this season and year round. From the financial perks like senior discounts and Medicare to the wonderful knowledge that can only come with decades of experience, there is a multitude of things to be thankful for as we age.

1. Wisdom (From Learned Experience). The saying, “experience is the best teacher” exists for a reason. That’s because experience brings about wisdom that can’t be learned otherwise. You learn more from things that happen to you in real life than you ever will from studying things that happen to other people. Along with the wisdom that comes from learned experience, another advantage of old age is the ability to empathize. Empathy is sensing other people’s emotions and imagining what someone else might be thinking or feeling.

2. A Happier Outlook. Perspective has a way of showing

you that ultimately, life always works out. In fact, researchers are beginning to uncover the biological and developmental underpinnings of gratitude that suggest it may be easier to

feel grateful as we grow older. Neuroscientists have suggested older people have a sunnier outlook because the amygdala, an area of the brain involved in emotional attention and memory, becomes less active in response to the negative information. At the same time, older individuals maintain or even increase their reactivity to positive information.

3. Opportunity to Pursue Lifelong Dreams. Many aging adults have reached the age of retirement. Not working gives retirees 40+ hours of free time back every week which can be dedicated to pursuing other lifelong passions and dreams.

4. Financial Perks. One of the obvious positive aspects of

old age is the opportunity to money. Governmental programs include guaranteed minimum income for seniors supported

by Medicare and Social Security. There are also an abundance of senior discounts, including those specific to travel, dining, and shopping.

5. More Time for Loved Ones. More free time usually

translates to more time to spend with those who really matter. Which brings us to our next advantage of old age…

6. Grandchildren. What’s better than your own children?

Grandchildren. The experience of raising your own children

makes you value your grandchildren that much more. They offer the love and fulfilling relationship, with a less responsibility.

7. More Stable Friendships and Relationships. By

the time you’ve reached old age, you’ve likely been able to filter through toxic friendships and relationships that suck the life out of you. Having and maintaining quality friendships and relationships contribute to companionship, which is a huge factor for longevity.

8. Good Stories to Tell. Who doesn’t appreciate a good

story? The longer you live, the more experiences you have, which translates to more good stories to tell. Fond memories, whether kept to yourself or told to someone else, are a huge advantage of old age.

9. A Greater Sense of Self. The older you are, the more you know WHO you are. Having a greater sense of who you are allows you to be less influenced by outside opinion and less bound by cultural restraints. When you have a greater sense of self, decision making is easier. Knowing yourself allows you to be yourself, and no one can say you’re doing it wrong!

Probate Horror Stories & How to Avoid Making Mistakes with Creditors Probate is a legal process that involves the administration of a deceased person’s estate. There are several reasons why probate can become a challenging and complicated process.

One of the main reasons is that many decedents fail to prepare for their death, leaving their affairs in disarray. This can make it difficult for the personal representative or executor overseeing the estate after death to locate and track down the decedent’s assets. In such cases, records may not be easily accessible, leading to delays, confusion, and disputes among the family members.

Another reason why probate can be a daunting experience is familial infighting. Greed and emotional ties to items can lead to heirs and even personal representatives/executors stealing from the probate estate. This can create internal strife among families, and in some cases, criminal charges may be filed. The person who does the stealing justifies their actions by claiming that the relative would have wanted them to have the item. In other cases, honest disagreements may occur, and these need to be resolved by the probate court, which can take years.

Probate battles, often thought to be confined to regular folks outside the public eye, can also befall celebrities, leading to publicized legal disputes that capture the nation’s attention through newspapers and TV programs. The rich and famous are not immune to the emotionally draining and financially costly legal proceedings that can arise after the death of a loved one. Let’s look at a few of the most infamous probate horror stories among the so-called A-listers.

Celebrity Probate Horror Stories The experiences of some of the most famous people in history have shown that proper estate planning is essential to ensure that your assets are distributed according to your wishes after your death. Marilyn Monroe, for instance, had a valid will, but the probate of her estate was a lengthy and cumbersome process that took 39 years to conclude. As a result, the IRS took half of her estate in estate taxes. The remaining assets were eventually passed on to a friend whom she had never met, but who died before the probate was concluded.

The friend’s widow inherited the assets and made almost $40

million dollars from Marilyn’s estate.

Elvis Presley’s estate, on the other hand, was mismanaged by an unscrupulous personal representative he chose to handle it. After the IRS took 73% of his $10 million estate in estate taxes, the personal representative squandered $2 million, leaving Elvis’ beneficiaries with only $1 million.

Avoiding These Battles A comprehensive estate plan should be in place to avoid such horror stories. This includes having a will, a trust, and other legal documents that outline how assets should be distributed after death. By doing so, the personal representative or executor can manage the estate efficiently, reducing the chances of familial infighting and other complications. It’s crucial to seek the help of a qualified professional while dealing with probate as attempting to handle it without the right expertise can lead to terrible experiences.

Creditors and Probate One major aspect of the probate process is handling the debts owed by the deceased person, also known as creditors.

The probate court will oversee the process of notifying creditors of the death, and they will have an opportunity to make a claim against the estate for any debts owed. The will’s executor is responsible for identifying and paying valid claims, using the estate’s assets. If there are not enough assets to pay off all debts, the court will prioritize which creditors get paid first. It is essential to understand the probate process in relation to creditors to ensure that all debts are properly handled, and the assets of the estate are distributed fairly. Let’s take a closer look at this process.

Priority Lists There is a priority order for estate debts. Below is a general list of the debt priorities, understanding that some states may have different priority lists.

• Administrative costs – In the probate process, several expenses occur. These include court fees, filing fees, notice costs, attorney’s fees, and the administrator’s commission. It is important to consult with a legal professional to fully understand all the costs involved in the probate process.

• Funeral and burial costs – Every state has specific laws that dictate which expenses can be considered as funeral and burial costs. It’s important to note that these expenses are all permissible and can be covered as part of the funeral and burial costs.

• Government debts – When it comes to financial obligations, it’s important to remember that income, property, and estate taxes should be prioritized over other types of debt.

• Final medical bills – In the case of a deceased person, their final sickness or injury is given priority over other unsecured debts. This means that if the deceased person had any outstanding medical bills, they must be settled before other unsecured debts can be paid off.

• All other claims – In the process of debt payment, states tend to focus on the repayment of secured debts, such as mortgages and car loans, before addressing unsecured debts, which are generally considered less important.

When it comes to safeguarding your assets, it’s important to know that certain assets such as retirement accounts and insurance proceeds with a designated beneficiary receive different treatment and provide more protection from creditors.

An irrevocable trust is also protected from creditors upon death. Opting for a beneficiary designation or a specific trust entity can go a long way in shielding an estate from a heavy debt burden.

The probate process can be quite tricky, and the more assets and debts involved, the more mistakes can be made. Using an experienced and knowledgeable elder law attorney is highly recommended to avoid problems and make the probate process as smooth as possible.

DEAR DR. ROACH: I am a 69-year-old who used to walk up 75 to 90 flights of steps several days a week as exercise. After a steering wheel airbag went off and damaged my heart, I am afraid my ability to do that stopped. After years of medication, I am now on a pacemaker, which definitely helps.

Could the exercise have weakened my heart to such a degree that it could be viewed as overdoing it, therefore exacerbating my condition? — Anon.

ANSWER: In general, exercise does not harm the heart. On the contrary, exercise is almost always good for the heart. However, there are exceptions.

In healthy people, there is an optimal amount of exercise, and extreme levels of exercise (on the order of running more than 10 miles a day every day) begin to decrease the benefit that a person gets from exercise. (This remains controversial, but I am convinced from the data.)

In people with severe heart disease (the kind with blockages in the arteries), overdoing exercise can lead to a heart attack, but this is an exception. For every person who gets harmed by overexercising, there must be a hundred who don’t get adequate exercise.

The fact that you have improved a lot on the pacemaker suggests that at least part of your problem wasn’t with the pump function of your heart, nor with the arteries leading to your heart. The problem lies with the electrical supply.

Once a pacemaker is in, that problem

is immediately alleviated, but the heart may still be deconditioned (“out of shape”). Regular exercise will help the problem.

Your cardiologist can better answer the question for you and also give you advice on how to build up your exercise tolerance over time. *** DEAR DR. ROACH: Colds and flus seem to linger in my lungs and nose for a week or more after all other symptoms have passed. If my phlegm and mucus are clear or white, and I feel healthy otherwise, am I still considered infectious?

— S.C. ANSWER: The color of sputum and mucus is not a reliable indicator of whether an infection is caused by bacteria or viruses, nor of whether you are still infectious. Colds and flus like COVID are caused by viruses. A person is most infectious starting from a day or two before they get symptoms up until a day or two after symptoms start. Most people are no longer infectious after five to seven days of having symptoms, but unfortunately, that’s not always 100% certain.

Part of the body’s response to infection is to make a great deal of mucus to wash the infection away. This can lead to us feeling very uncomfortable with copious sneezing, runny noses and productive cough. In some people, this tendency is more prolonged. It sounds like you might be one of those people in whom the body’s response to infection causes more symptoms than the infection itself.

We can test pretty well for COVID infectiousness with at-home testing, but those home tests don’t exist for the flu or other viruses. Following the same advice for COVID — staying home for at least 24 hours after a fever has gone, or remaining in isolation for at least five days without a fever — will minimize your infectiousness to others.

Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual questions, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible. Readers may email questions to ToYourGoodHealth@ med.cornell.edu. © 2023 North America Synd., Inc. All Rights Reserved
