Prayer to St. Jude

Most holy Apostle, St. Jude, faithful servant and friend of Jesus, the church honors and invokes you universally, as the patron of hopeless cases, of things almost despaired of. Pray for me, I am so helpless and alone. Make use, I implore you, of that particular privilege given to you, to bring visible and speedy help where help is almost despaired of. Come to my assistance in this great need that I may receive the consolation and help of heaven in all my necessities, tribulations, and sufferings, particularly (your request) and that I may praise God with you and all the elect forever. I promise, O blessed St. Jude, to be ever mindful of this great favor, to always honor you as my special and powerful patron, and to gratefully encourage devotion to you. Amen.

Mother’s Day

W ANTED ANY JUNK VEHICLE

• On April 27, 4977 B.C., the universe is created, according to German mathematician and astronomer Johannes Kepler. Scientists in the 20th century developed the Big Bang theory, which showed Kepler’s calculations were off by about 13.7 billion years.

• On April 28, 1789, three weeks into a journey from Tahiti to the West Indies, the HMS Bounty is seized in a mutiny led by Fletcher Christian, the master’s mate. Captain William Bligh and 18 of his loyal supporters were set adrift in a small boat. They reached the East Indies in June, after a voyage of about 3,600 miles.

• On May 2, 1939, New York Yankees first baseman Lou Gehrig benches himself for poor play and ends his streak of consecutive games played at 2,130. The left-handed slugger led the American League in RBIs five times.

• On May 1, 1941, “Citizen Kane” makes its debut at the RKO Palace Theater in New York City. The film about a publishing tycoon’s dying words consistently ranks at the top of film critics’ lists of America’s greatest films.

• On April 29, 1974, President Richard Nixon announces that he will release transcripts of 46 taped White House conversations in response to a Watergate trial subpoena. In August, Nixon resigned to avoid an impeachment trial after proof of his guilt was found on the tapes.

• On April 26, 1986, the world’s worst nuclear accident occurs at the Chernobyl nuclear plant near Kiev in Ukraine. An estimated 4,000 clean-up workers died from radiation poisoning and a large area of land may not be livable for almost 150 years.

• On April. 30, 1997, at 12:11 pm, London’s iconic Big Ben clock, the most famous clock in the world, stops ticking for 54 minutes. In 1962, snow delayed the bells, causing Britain’s capital to ring in the New Year 10 minutes late.

although we agreed it would look great at our house, several bidders liked it, so when it sold at $3,186 we were not the buyers. Our children learned that you don’t always get what you want at an auction; sometimes the bidding goes past our limit because someone else wants it more. *** What is the resale price for a Fiesta 60th Anniversary pitcher with four matching cups in new condition?

Fiesta has been made by the Homer Laughlin China Co. since 1936 and has been made in many colors since then. To mark the 60th anniversary in 1996, Fiesta was made with the words “Still Proudly Made by The Homer Laughlin China Co., Genuine Fiesta, 60th Anniversary, 19361996” and the logo of a dancing lady.

The Anniversary line includes a pitcher, mugs (cups), tumblers, a cake plate, a clock face plate and other items. The price depends on color and condition.

Pitchers sell online for $25-$48, mugs for $3-$10. A set with four mugs could sell for $37 to $88. Higher prices are asked but don’t sell. *** CURRENT PRICES Kitchen, kettle, copper, arched swing handle, goose neck spout, crimped seams, domed lid, J. Getz, Lancaster, Pa., c. 1830, 11 inches, $148.

hands behind your back, ask if you want to see something. We checked with the dealer before taking them into a booth and explained they knew how to behave and if there should be an accident, of course we would pay for any damage.

Each child had a collection — small heart charms or tin spice boxes. We showed them the jewelry and named the colors of the stones, then the name of the stones, and by kindergarten, they were experts. They helped us buy things for the country store by asking the dealer the price of a sign or a box that they liked.

Big, colorful signs with old-fashioned pictures were the favorites.

This tin paint sign is 27-inches tall and is unusual because it has a row of wooden color sample blocks at the bottom. The old car and the “quaint” porch picture also had appeal. But

• A day on Mars lasts 24 hours, 39 minutes and 35 seconds. You’d assume therefore that there are fewer days in a Martian year than an Earth year, right?

Nope — because Mars orbits the sun more slowly than Earth, a Martian year actually comprises 687 days.

• A Mickey is the smallest detectable movement of a mouse cursor on a screen. The term was coined by computer scientists, who use it when programming mice and other input devices.

• Out of the millions of creatures that inhabit planet Earth, humans are one of just three species capable of laughter, the other two being chimpanzees ... and rats!

• Proof that some things never change: the world’s oldest known joke is a Sumerian fart joke.

• The most expensive pizza in the world will set you back a cool $12,000.

Repurpose Bottles for Earth Day Fun This spring, as we near Earth Day on Thursday, April 22, the thought hits me how I'm actually very grateful for recycling and the way my family, the neighborhood and our city has embraced it. It was so difficult when we started out, wasn't it? But now, we do it as second nature.

repurposed. If it's a plastic deli tub, it may end up in a lunch bag as a veggie container. A half-gallon milk carton is easily transformed into a bird feeder, and cardboard egg cups are perfect compartments for growing seedlings that will be transplanted into the summer garden.

And then there are all those clear plastic bottles that juice, peanuts and flavored waters come in. Peel off the labels, wash them inside and out, and make some fun! Here are some quick magnetic attractions that will captivate your preschoolers.

Fireworks

Cut up brightly colored pipe cleaners into 1- or 2-inch pieces and drop them inside a bottle. Twist and glue the cap on tightly. Find a magnet in your toolbox (or pick one up at your local hardware store) and let your child discover the fun of moving the inside pieces around with a magnet from the outside of the bottle. Sometimes the pipe cleaner bits connect in clusters that burst out like fireworks.

Hide And Seek

I'm not sure if the world turns a little easier because I no longer toss soup cans, pickle jars and newspapers into the garbage bin. But the idea of recycling makes sense, because it causes each of us, as members of families and the larger community, to be responsible for what we consume.

When we're not sorting the recycled items for curbside pickup, we're scrubbing them out to be reused and

Fill a bottle two-thirds with uncooked rice. Toss in several metal paper clips. Twist and glue the cap on tightly. Shake so that the paper clips hide within the rice. Move a magnet around the outside of the bottle, twisting and turning it slightly. The paper clips will come out of the rice as they are attracted to the magnet. Drag the magnet this way and that, and challenge your child to collect them all.

Ready to make your home sparkle & shine Free Estimates • Licensed & Bonded

347-3460 Full Service Interior Cleaning Residential and Commercial Now Booking WEEKLY • BIWEEKLY & DEEP CLEANING

by Jennifer Coates

Spring has truly blossomed in all its glory!

It is time to pull up the sashes and open the windows to let in the fresh air ~ and the dust. And the silt. And the layer of pollen that will surely settle on every surface in your home! The bright spring sunshine will also expose all the “dust bunnies” that have taken up residence under your couches and beds. The colorful flowering trees that are plentiful at this time of year will soon be shedding their buds and dead petals which will be tracked into your house along with the mud from a winter’s thaw!

There is a reason why we use the expression “Spring Cleaning”! After a long winter of hibernation in our homes, spring brings us a chance to shake off the dust, scrub up the grime and start anew.

This is now the time when we need the extra help of the ultimate cleaning machine, The Clean Team!

The Clean Team is a West Warwick-based cleaning company started by partners Briana Kearns and Randy Bodick. Briana and Randy are hardworking, reliable, trustworthy, and extremely thorough. They will take your home and polish it up so it is immaculate and sparkling-clean.

Every surface restored to its former shine. Every corner, every nook and cranny, swept clear of any nasty build-up. There is no job too big or too small for this dream team.

Briana and Randy (who is also the owner of the landscaping company “Fresh Perspective”) have both worked in service industries their entire adult lives, and their work

has always demanded complete customer satisfaction. They work to please, and they will work hard for you.

This diligent pair of “neat freaks” will come into your home or business and clean it from top to bottom. First, they will give you a free estimate of whatever service you need. This free estimate will be followed by a visit of your determination – a one-time “deep cleaning”, a weekly or bi-weekly job, a monthly commitment.

They will accommodate your schedule. They will provide their own supplies and equipment unless you request otherwise. They won’t leave until they pass your “white glove test.”

Randy and Briana are also highly aware of the discomfort people feel inviting others into their homes and businesses and take every precaution when cleaning in your private space. Masks are worn throughout the whole process, even if you aren’t home. Household members will not be present in a room while The Clean Team is at work in that space. Respect for property and the wellbeing of their customers is foremost in their minds.

Both Randy and Briana

This collage of “before’s and after’s” gives you a sense of how thorough and meticulous the dream team of The Clean Team is when they come to clean your home or business. Call them today at 401-3473460 to book your appointment.

5 Tips to Spring Clean Your Home Inside and Out FAMILY FEATURES

S

pring cleaning isn’t just about purging dirt and grime. It’s also the perfect opportunity to take inventory of items around your home. As you tackle this season’s cleaning, look for ways to improve your overall living space, from getting rid of things you no longer need to adding items that can work harder for you.

Consider these five ways to tackle your home inside and out this spring.

Make organizing easier. As you clean each space, look for easy ways to reduce unsightly messes and improve organization. If your entryway always becomes a jumbled pile of shoes and coats, consider adding a storage bench and hooks to bring some order to the area. If the kids’ toys always accumulate in the living room, add a storage chest or large baskets to store them when not in use. If tools and equipment make the garage unusable, install shelving units to keep everything in place.

Eliminate the excess. Spring cleaning is also an opportunity to declutter and make way for something new, either by donating or selling unused things. Whether it’s last season’s fashion and accessories or unused tech and fitness gear, that item you never used – or haven’t used in a while – may be exactly what someone else is looking for.

Online platforms can make the process easy and be a way to earn extra cash or help fund other home upgrades. Look for marketplaces that help you maximize your return; eBay, for example, is giving sellers 200 free listings every month, meaning you only pay after your items sell.

Reimagine your living space. If one area is becoming too crowded or doesn’t serve your family’s needs, consider items you can repurpose for another part of the home. For example, move an unused chair in your living room into a bedroom to create a reading nook. Keep your focus on function as you make changes that accommodate your lifestyle.

Make smart additions. Once you’ve cleared your space, and sold things you no longer need, you can convert that extra cash into reliable home appliances and tech. For example, purchase or upgrade items like vacuums, lawn mowers, power washers, drills and more to help take your spring cleaning to the next level. You can make your money go further by choosing certified refurbished products; some marketplaces like eBay offer inventory that has been professionally inspected by the manufacturer, or a manufacturer-approved vendor, to look, feel and work like new.

Commit to revisiting regularly. It’s easy to let clutter and disorganization slide when you get busy with life’s demands. Once your spring cleaning and reorganizing is complete, commit to reassessing your home on a monthly or quarterly basis so you can make small adjustments along the way, rather than face a major project every year.

Shop Smarter Considering refurbished products for your shopping list can expand your options and make it easier to purchase top-of-the-line brands without going over budget. From tech and small kitchen appliances to outdoor power equipment, you can discover a breadth of items often in like-new condition.

Shop for Multi-Purpose Items: When upgrading your arsenal of gadgets, tools and small appliances, look for items that can serve multiple purposes. For example, many vacuums can transform into steamers or include mop attachments and some pressure cookers can also be used as air fryers.

Feel Confident in Your Purchase: Sometimes upgrading means investing in a premium product you can count on to last longer than entry-level models. With eBay’s Certified Refurbished program, you can find popular, professionally inspected name brands at up to 50% off, all of which are backed by industry-leading two-year warranties for peace of mind.

Keep Sustainability in Mind: Keeping functionality in mind and buying like-new items not only saves you money now and in the future but can also help protect the planet by extending the life of products and reducing unnecessary waste.

Happy Spring!!

A refreshing time of year with so much to look forward to... longer days, outdoor activities, grilling, gardening, and hopefully a busy Spring Real Estate market

By Donna DeLauro If you’ve decided it’s time to go ahead and make the move to buy or sell real estate you may be asking yourself.. Where do I begin?

Whether you are buying or selling, please consider contacting a professional Realtor for a consultation to discuss your goals and how to reach them.

Real Estate can be the most exciting, and costly transaction you will make in your life. Some of us will experience it once, or twice, some will have many sales. Either way, a real estate deal is significant.

When you are thinking about selling your property, or purchasing a new property, there are many important decisions to begin to make.

Let us look at both types of transactions and talk about what to expect once you begin the process.

When selling…

Prepare the property for sale Should you make any upgrades in order to get the most money from the sale? Maybe, or maybe not - depending on the “as is value” compared to the “as done value” and what it will cost to do the work.

Making upgrades prior to selling may take more time than you have and cost out of pocket money you’re not in a position to spend. In some situations, it may be best to sell the home as is and price accordingly so the buyer can choose their own décor.

In many cases value can be added with a little paint and cleaning that will not cost a lot but may allow a higher asking price.

If there are condition issues that may inhibit financing, it may be worth making the repairs in order to open your buyer pool to those who are financing. Your professional Realtor will be able to guide you through these options.

When is the best time to list the property?

As I am sure you are hearing and reading, this is a great time to sell residential real estate. There are not enough listing opportunities for the number of buyers out there look-

ing to purchase a home utilizing low interest rates currently being offered.

Spring is traditionally a good time to list since the yard and homes look prettier with green grass, colorful flowers etc., and buyers are making their family move after children complete their school year.

Market conditions will drive the activity somewhat; however there will always be a need for folks to move for one reason or another.

What is the best price for the property?

In a market such as we are currently in, many sellers want to list high so they aren’t leaving money on the table. As a Realtor of 20 years, it is my experience and advice to price your property within fair market value. If the buyer is financing the purchase there will be an appraisal process required by the lender to determine property value based on recent comparable property sales in the local area, as well as property condition. If the appraisal result is at least equal to or greater than the purchase price, the property will qualify. If the appraisal value is determined to be lower than purchase price, the buyer and seller may need to renegotiate the deal. This can create delays to the closing process or often times the deal will be off and everyone has to start over. By this time buyers have spent money on inspections and the appraisal, and sellers will have begun their moving process and their future plans will be delayed as well.

Do you need to find another property prior to selling your current home?

If you are looking to purchase a property but need to sell your current home in order to finance the new purchase, your sale and purchase will be contingent upon both factors. This is an important discussion you will have with your Realtor and lender in your planning stage. A well-coordinated strategy will be critical to the successful transition.

If buying…

Now more than ever it is important to work with a professional who is representing you and working in your best interest. The current real estate market is very competitive as so many buyers are looking and making offers on the same few listing opportunities. Sellers will analyze multiple offers with their realtor to determine which buyer will get them to the closing table with the least amount of roadblocks while bringing in the most dollars. Sometimes it is a matter of who can offer the most money. Other times it is the best terms of the offer that will benefit the seller’s situation.

Maybe they need time to find their next home, or to settle an estate. Some will not have the means to make repairs or prepare the property for closing. Allowing the seller to complete their transaction with the least amount of stress can add value to your offer. How you are paying for the property is of great importance to the seller. Buyers with strong financing and no contingencies are attractive to sellers.

What price range are you able to purchase?

The most important part of your home purchase is financing. I will always recommend buyers begin by seeking out a reputable purchase focused lender who will provide a variety of loan options that will best fit their financial situation and goals. Your Realtor can recommend lenders who will provide great service and get you to the closing table smoothly and successfully. As mentioned earlier, buyers with a reputable lender can be the difference between getting your offer accepted or not in multiple offer situations.

Where do you want to make your purchase?

Location, location, right? It is important to think about where you want to live. This may not be your forever home and you might want to resell in the future. The loca-

tion may be the difference between a good investment for the future or not.

Think about the area and future potential for stability in value, improvement to the area or area digression.

What type of property are you looking for?

Are you looking to purchase a single family, multi family, condominium?

Your realtor can create searches in MLS (Multiple Listings Service) for whatever property type you are looking to purchase and generate email alerts to let you know what is for sale in your price range. Staying on top of the market will be important especially now as new listings that are priced appropriately in decent condition in a desirable location will sell quickly, sometimes within the first few days!

As you saw there are many things to consider when deciding to enter a Real Estate Transaction.

Your experience will be exciting successful and stress free, with the right team of experts on your side.

Choose wisely and best luck!

Stay safe when working in the yard this spring and summer A day spent working in the yard is an ideal way to pass the time on spring and summer afternoons. A pristine landscape can add value to a property and instill pride in homeowners who put a lot of thought and effort into their lawns and gardens.

A sun-soaked day can make it easy to overlook potential threats when working in a lawn or garden. But safety precautions are of the utmost necessity when working in the yard, where the risk for serious injury is considerable. For example, the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons reports that, in 2016, more than 90,000 patients, including nearly 5,000 children, were treated in hospital emergency rooms for lawn mower-related injuries.

Lawn and garden-related injuries can be prevented without going to great lengths.

• Know your terrain before mowing. Knowing the terrain in your own yard can reduce the risk for accident or injury. This can be especially important when mowing the lawn with a riding mower. Adhere to manufacturers’ recommendations regarding inclines to reduce tip-over accidents that can pin riders beneath the mower.

Study hilly areas of the yard prior to mowing so you know which areas are safe to mow with a riding mower and which areas are best mowed with a walk-behind mower. For greater control when using a walk-behind mower on an incline, mow parallel to the slope.

• Apply and reapply sunscreen. Sunburns may not require trips to the emergency room, but they can still be serious. In fact, the Skin Cancer Foundation notes that sunburn is a leading cause in the majority of cases of basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and melanoma, which is the deadliest form of skin cancer. The SCF recommends applying sunscreen 30 minutes before going outside to allow the sunscreen to bond to your skin. Reapply sunscreen at least every two hours, and more often if you’re sweating excessively. The SCF recommends broad spectrum sunscreens, which protect the skin from both UVA and UVB rays. Though a product with a sun protection factor (SPF) of at least 15 is acceptable when walking the dog or driving to

work, the SCF advises using a product with an SPF of 30 or higher when engaging in extended outdoor activities like gardening or mowing.

• Employ the buddy system. Use the buddy system when pruning tall trees or performing any tasks that require a ladder. The Orthopedic Institute of Pennsylvania reports that more than 164,000 people are injured each year falling off a ladder. Ask a significant other or neighbor to hold the ladder in place while you climb up to reduce your risk of falling. If cutting large branches, cut them piecemeal to reduce the risk of being injured by heavy falling branches.

• Inspect the property for insect hives. The OIP notes that the most common insect stings in spring come from bees, wasps and hornets.

Homeowners who are not careful can inadvertently come across hives when doing spring cleanup, making them vulnerable to bites and stings. That can be very dangerous for anyone, and especially so for people with a history of allergic reactions to insect bites or stings. Inspect areas where you’ll be working to make sure insects haven’t put down roots in your property.

If you discover any hives and are hesitant to remove them on your own, contact a local landscaping firm.

Lawn and garden accidents and injuries can be serious. Thankfully, accidents and injuries are easily prevented when homeowners take a few simple safety precautions while tending to their lawns and gardens.

• “If you have dogs, keep a towel near your door. Then you can wipe off muddy paws before they have a chance to get the carpets dirty!” — T.Y. in Mississippi • If you’re reattaching a button to shorts or pants, try using dental floss, the unwaxed kind. It’s much stronger, and can hold the button better than regular thread. Use a marker to darken it if the color is an issue.

• Here’s a great way to get a longer life from a bar of soap: Press the plastic top of a pop bottle into one side of a wet bar of soap. When you set the bar down in your soap dish, put it plastic side down. This way, the bar doesn’t sit in any residual water and turn into a goopy mush. The plastic top comes out easily if you need to remove it.” — Y.P. in Illinois • Store brooms either handle down or on a hook that allows the bristles to suspend over the floor. When brooms rest their bristles on the floor, it bends them and breaks the ends. Broken ends make it hard for the broom to work efficiently.

• “After a recent bathroom redecoration, we had a toilet paper holder left over. I mounted it on the wall in my shop, and I use it to dispense twine.

It’s actually working well and is the perfect size, since it’s not really wide enough for more than one duct tape roll.” — A.L. in Texas • It’s easy to leave a group text chain on an iPhone. There’s a setting for this. It’s not as easy on an Android phone, but it’s doable. Simply mute the conversation and delete the text thread. If you have a big family group and you’re getting too many notifications, you can always mute the conversation until you’re finished with whatever you’re doing.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Whether a waiting period is taking longer than expected, or just seems that way, the anxious Lamb would do well to create a center of calm within her- or himself, and not do anything rash.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Practical matters dominate the week, but cultural activities also are favored, especially those that can be shared with someone special in the Bovine’s life.

Some important news might be forthcoming.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You need to know more about a possible career move in order to see if it offers a real opportunity or just a change. You’re sure to get lots of advice — some of it good — but the decision must be yours.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) The arrival of hoped-for good news about a loved one dominates most of the week and provides a great excuse for the party-loving Moon Child to plan a special event to celebrate.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) Leos and Leonas rushing to finalize their plans might want to think about slowing down the pace, or risk overlooking an important consideration that could become a sore point down the line.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) The week’s challenges call for logical approaches. But sentiment also has its place. Sharing memories with a special someone, for example, strengthens the bond between you.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) A brand-new approach to a problem could have a good chance of succeeding if it’s based on a solid foundation of fact to strengthen its potential for standing up to scrutiny.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) A favorable report should give your optimism an important boost as you confront another phase of a challenge. Don’t be timid about accepting advice from someone you trust.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) You might want to target another goal if your current aim is continually being deflected. But stay with it until you find that first sign of an opening, and then follow through.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Although offers of advice might not always please the usually sure-footed Goat, good counsel is always worth considering, especially from those whose experience can be invaluable.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Don’t rush to make up for lost time. Your productivity can be measured not only by what you do, but how you do it. Move carefully until the job is done the way you like it.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Emerging facts about someone you know might cause you to rethink your relationship. But remember to make judgments in context of a full situation, not just on scraps of data.

Celebrating 1 Year

Dear Heart of Jesus: In the past, I have asked many favors. This time, I ask you this very special one.

Take it Dear Heart of Jesus and place it within your own broken heart, where your father sees it. Then, in your merciful eyes, it will become your favor, not mine.

Say this prayer for 3 days, promise publication and your favor will be granted no matter how impossible.

Thank you also to the Divine Mercy.
