Passover Leek and Olive Bites Take advantage of leeks, in season in spring, with these Passoverappropriate appetizers. 3 leeks, each preferably 1 to 1½ inches in diameter, white and pale green parts only, trimmed 1 tablespoon margarine or butter, cut up 1/2 cup water 1/4 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves Salt Pepper 15 pitted Kalamata olives, cut in half 30 kosher-for-Passover crackers, such as Tam Tams 1. Cut each leek crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick rounds; keep rounds intact. Place in large bowl and cover with water. Gently swish to remove any grit. Lift out leeks into colander. Repeat with fresh water at least once or until leeks are clean. Drain in colander. Pat dry. 2. In 12-inch skillet, melt margarine on medium. Add leeks in single layer. Cook 5 minutes or until browned. Turn carefully and add water, thyme, 1/8 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper. Heat to boiling. Cover and cook 5 minutes or until leeks are tender. Uncover and, if necessary, cook 2 minutes longer or until water evaporates. Center rings of leeks will rise; gently press back into place with back of teaspoon. Remove from heat and cool 10 minutes or until warm room temperature. 3. Top each cracker with 1 leek slice and 1 olive half. Serve immediately. Makes 30 bites (2 bites per serving). • Each serving: About 55 calories, 2g total fat (1g saturated), 0mg cholesterol, 100mg sodium, 8g carbohydrate, 1g dietary fiber, 1g protein.

• On April 17, 1882, several copies of Sheriff Pat Garrett’s wildly inauthentic, fictionalized biography, “An Authentic Life of Billy the Kid,” arrive at the Library of Congress. The first full, realistic biography of William Bonney (the Kid’s principal alias) was not published until 1989. • On April 16, 1897, Frederick William Winterbotham, one of Britain’s top code breakers, is born. Winterbotham would play a decisive role in the World War II Ultra code-breaking project, enabling MI-6 to intercept top secret messages transmitted to and between German armed forces. • On April 14, 1912, just before midnight in the North Atlantic, the RMS Titanic fails to divert its course from an iceberg, ruptures its hull, and begins to sink. The Titanic’s hull was divided into 16 presumed watertight compartments, and the ocean liner was considered unsinkable. • On April 11, 1921, KDKA in Pittsburgh broadcasts the first live sporting event on the radio, a boxing match. Radio had been used primarily for two-way communication, but KDKA became the first licensed radio station in 1920. Months later the first Major League Baseball game was broadcast. • On April 12, 1945, President Franklin Roosevelt dies of a cerebral hemorrhage at his home in Warm Springs, Georgia. The only man to be elected to four terms as president, Roosevelt is remembered for his New Deal social policies. • On April 15, 1967, a massive parade to protest Vietnam War policy is held in New York. Police estimated that 100,000 to 125,000 people listened to speeches by Martin Luther King, Jr. and Dr. Benjamin Spock. Prior to the march, youth burned nearly 200 draft cards in Central Park. • On April 13, 1978, opening day at Yankee Stadium, the New York Yankees give away thousands of Reggie! candy bars to fans, who toss them onto the field after star outfielder Reggie Jackson homers in his first at-bat. © 2022 Hearst Communications, Inc.

• When you make a meringue, be sure to spread it all the way to the crust on all sides. If you do, it will not shrink. • After your dishwasher has run its course, open up the door and let the dishes air dry. On cold days, there’s the added bonus of humidifying the house with the steam that escapes. • Research says that the best time of day to exercise is in the morning, but the truth is that the best time for YOU to exercise is when you will go through with it. So, try out different times of the day, and when you find one that fits, schedule it in your daily planner and block the time out at least three times per week. • Making your own flavored yogurt is cheap and much better for you. You can avoid a lot of added sugar. Start with plain, unflavored yogurt and add: pureed fruits, toasted oats, honey, vanilla or almond extract, or plumpedup raisins (add enough hot water to cover a tablespoon of raisins and let sit for a minute or two). Yummy. • “If you stick the end of your celery stalks in a cup of water and rocks (or in some very damp dirt), they will begin to regrow. This is a great way to have a never-ending supply of celery. You also can regrow scallions from the root end.” — Y.L.J. in Missouri • Metal shower hooks can be used in the sewing basket to hold safety pins.

Are you or someone you are living with suffering from chronic

Maybe you are putting it down to age, stress, being too sedentary or having no time to exercise. You might have been told by friends or even healthcare providers that there is nothing to do, but rest and take medication. If this is you read on…….. Back pain will affect about 80% of people at some point during their lives and it is the leading cause of disability worldwide. It can take people out of work and away from the activities they enjoy. Obviously, missing work can have a financial impact, but it can also affect your image of self-worth. Missing out on activities like hiking, running, biking, skiing, golfing or just hanging out playing with kids or grandkids can rob you of your “joie de vivre”! Don’t let back pain put you on the sidelines where you just WATCH others live without participating yourself. Being able to stand in line at a grocery store, sit for longer than 20 minutes at a restaurant with friends, or going for a walk with your husband/wife (or even your dog) are things that you SHOULD be able to do - and being over 40 is no excuse! It is easy to elect to put off getting help as long as you can “struggle on” at 70%, but this is not the best way to take care of your back or yourself in general. Let’s take a minute to think about body mechanics or alignment. You bring your car in to have its tires changed and alignment checked. If you did not, and tire alignment were not good, you might notice a vibration, the car pulling to one side and eventually you will see uneven wear on the tires. Your body is no different! If your alignment is off, you may notice you are stronger on one side of your body than the other, it may be easier to balance on one leg than the other, yoga poses may be easier on one side than the other and over time you may start to notice aches in your joints or your muscles may feel overworked. It is easier to fix these problems BEFORE the wear and tear really sets in. Living in the information era, everyone has information (or mis-information) about how to treat your own back pain. However, not all information is created equal! For instance, many people advocate for having stronger “six-pack” abs in order to cure back pain – this is sadly not entirely correct. Your “sixpack” abs, despite looking great and being fantastic movers of your trunk are not very good stabilizers of your spine – this is a task that the deeper muscles of your abdominal wall are far better suited to. Our, clinic has been helping people with back pain like yours from the start. We are a holistic clinic that is more about the quality vs quantity. We only have capacity to treat a certain number of people in any given day, but there are still many more people in our community, like you, who need help. In order to help even more people, we wrote a Back Pain Report with 6 easy tips for how to make small changes to your daily routines that can have a dramatic effect on your back pain – go to www.aranciapt.com to claim your FREE copy now. If your back pain is more complex, or if you have additional questions, we have a CONQUER BACK PAIN ONLINE COURSE now available to anyone who suffers from chronic back pain Contact info@aranciapt.com to learn more. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Dr. Jessica L.

The Reminder April 5-11, 2022..........Page 11
SAY YOU SAW IT IN THE REMINDER
The use of technology in suicide prediction and prevention?
For more than a decade, the suicide rate in the United States has been on the rise. As of 2019, the last year for which CDC data are available, suicide remained the second to fifth most common cause of death for individuals between the ages of 10 to 54. While there is some encouraging data to suggest that death by suicide has been less frequent during the COVID-19 pandemic, suicide still accounts for roughly 20% of all injury-related deaths, which is more than twice the rate of homicide. There are many reasons why suicide is a complex problem to solve. Suicide is an overdetermined behavior, which simply means that there are many different ways that an individual can develop risk for suicide. For example, some people might experience traumatic life experiences, others might have difficulty managing or regulating their emotions, and still others might struggle with substance use or dependence. Unfortunately, this is far from a complete list, and most people at risk for suicide have a combination of factors that contribute to their unique experience of suicide. Further complicating the detection and treatment of suicide is the manner in which most treatment for suicide is delivered. Most people receiving treatment see a therapist every week or two, sometimes in combination with medication. While this type of treatment can be helpful for a great many people, some of the people at greatest risk for suicide need help at times when a therapist might not be available. Likewise, people at risk for suicide sometimes miss or deny the subtle warning signs that they may be headed for a suicide-related crisis in the future. In short, there are gaps in both our understanding of suicide risk as well as our ability to deliver treatments when and where they are needed the most. One promising solution to these problems lies in the use of technology, specifically smartphones, smartwatches, and activity monitors, to predict and respond to suicide risk. Using technology, we are able to address many of the limitations of traditional detection and treatment of suicide risk. Eye-tracking technology, which uses a camera to observe how a person’s eye looks at images on a
Staying Healthy by Michael F. arMey, PhD research Psychologist Butler hosPital computer screen, can provide important information such as the location and amount of time an individual views part of an image. Working with patients who have been recently hospitalized for suicide risk, our team has found that these eye movements are associated with risk for suicide attempts up to six months later. This technology is particularly useful as it requires no feedback or response from the person observing images, meaning that it can potentially detect risk that individuals are either unaware of or unwilling to disclose to others. Another promising technology is called ecological momentary assessment, or EMA. Through EMA, research participants or patients install an application on their smartphone that asks a series of questions throughout the day. These questions, assessing emotion, thoughts, and behaviors, provide unique and individualized insights about a person’s life experiences. In our research, we have asked patients who are being discharged from a psychiatric hospital for suicide risk to participate in EMA for three weeks. This research has so far yielded two important findings. First, patients tend to experience increasing negative emotions in the weeks following hospital discharge that strongly predict increases in thinking about suicide. These increases correspond to prior research finding that risk for rehospitalization peaks roughly two weeks following hospital discharge, providing one explanation for these rehospitalizations. Second, positive emotions like happiness seem to be protective against suicidal thinking – that is, individuals who reported higher levels of positive emotions reported less thinking about suicide and were, in turn, less likely to be re-hospitalized. Granted, these findings might seem obvious;
however, this technology is innovative and potentially impactful as it allows us to better understand not just if, but when, individuals experience increased risk for suicide, potentially permitting the delivery of treatments outside of the therapist’s office when they are needed the most. These treatments, known as ecological momentary interventions, are a new and growing area of research, with great potential to improve our treatment of suicide risk. One final technology worth mentioning is called digital phenotyping. A phenotype is defined as a set of behaviors that theoretically relate to an individual’s biological makeup or genetics. Through digital phenotyping, or the use of digital data to infer biological processes, data from smartphone, smartwatch, or activity tracker sensors (i.e., motion/ activity, heart rate, location, light levels, sleep, audio data, and social media and/or text messaging data) is used to construct a behavioral profile by identifying which digital data are most strongly predictive of suicidal behavior. As with eye-tracking data, the benefit of digital phenotyping is that data are collected passively, without the knowledge of the person being profiled. Despite the benefits, it is clear that the use of technology to predict and track human behavior such as suicide also has enormous potential for abuse. Social media companies such as Facebook have been criticized by consumer groups and scientists for using this sort of data without permission from users. As scientists and clinicians alike embrace these promising technologies, it is important that potential patients and research participants understand the goals of the research and consent to the collection of these data. However, despite these risks, the use of technology in the prediction of suicide risk is an important and growing area of clinical research with great potential to improve treatments and save lives.

Armey, PhD is a Research Psychologist at Butler Hospital and Associate Professor (Research), Associate Director of the Consortium for Research Innovation in Suicide Prevention (CRISP) at The Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University

Papier Mache Offers Goopy Hands-On Fun Stir together a simple, goopy recipe, add some newspaper, and you're on the way to a fun activity the whole family will enjoy. When you make these papier mache pot covers to dress up small plants, you won't have to wait for days before you paint them, because the microwave speeds up the drying.
To make plant covers you'll need: — Microwave-safe jars with lids removed, such as empty pasta sauce or canning jars with a 3-4 inch base. — Microwave-safe plastic food wrap — Newspaper — 1 cup all-purpose flour — 2 cups water — Large rubber band — Acrylic or poster paints and brushes Here's the fun: 1. For each cover, wrap plastic wrap around the base and outside of a jar. (The wrap makes it easier to remove the project when it is dry.) 2. Cut newspaper into 12-inchsquare sheets. 3. In a large mixing bowl, stir the flour and water together until smooth. 4. Now comes the mess that makes papier mache such a fun and tactile craft. Set one sheet in front of you. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the mixture on the sheet and spread with your hands like you're finger painting. Use
sheet on top and spread more mixture. Repeat with a third sheet. 5. Set the jar upright in the center of the stack. With both hands, gather the wet paper stack evenly around the pot while your child places the rubber band around it, about 3 inches from the base of the jar. Add more mixture to the outside layer so that it is completely covered. Fan out edges. 6. An adult should place the jar upside-down in the microwave and heat on high for 1 1/2 minutes. Use a potholder to pat down any air bubbles that have formed. Microwave again for 1 1/2 minutes, watching to make sure that the paper does not begin to scorch. Pat down any bubbles. Continue in a couple of 30-second bursts until it is almost dry, keeping an eye on it at all times.
Dress up small plants with colorful pot covers. 7. Cool. Remove the jar. When completely dry, remove the rubber band, then paint. 8. To use, set a draining tray and plant in the pot cover. NOTE: Instead of the microwave method, let the flowerpot cover air-dry a day or two. *** Find more family fun at www.donnaerickson.com.

“Do You Need A New Roof?
If So, I Bet The Last Thing You Want To Do RIGHT NOW Is Spend $15,000-$25,000 Or More On A New Roof!” Call the Roof Assistance Hotline at 401-954-9012 to learn how you may qualify to replace your old roof for $5,000-$6,000 of your own personal funds, regardless of roof size. This is not a loan or a grant so there is no application to fill out and no home appraisal required. Qualifying is strictly based on a free assessment of your current roof. Who this program is for: 1. Homeowners with medium, large or extra-large roofs 2. This program is not based on financial hardship. In fact, many homeowners that we assist are considered somewhat affluent 3. Homeowners with a roof that is between 10-35 years old are ideal 1. 2. 3. 4.
Who this program is NOT for:
Homeowners with smaller than average roofs Homeowners that have replaced sections of their roof over the years, piece by piece Homeowners with roofs that are less than 10 years old Homeowners that a have a roof in absolutely terrible condition that probably needed to be replaced many, many years ago
“I received something indicating that it was possible to replace my roof for a fraction of the actual cost. Now, my roof was over 13 years old and I thought no way, but what the hell I’ll call and find out more. Best phone call I have ever made. These guys have a system that was a joy to watch. I could go on and on I mean these guys saved me $15,000. So do yourself a favor, if you need a new roof call them first.” Brian Bouthillier – North Kingstown, R.I.

By Jennifer Coates When Paul Petrozzi, the owner and president of Valley Fuel/Warwick Oil, makes a promise, his word is his bond. Petrozzi learned as a young boy that promises ~ and people ~ matter. He learned that hard work pays off and that honesty, trustworthiness, reliability, and loyalty transcend all else in business. He learned that family ties are lasting, and impactful, and important. He learned that success only comes after the work is put in, and that a hard-fought reputation of integrity will carry you through even the most debilitating circumstances in life. These values were taught to Paul Petrozzi by his late father Rimmige “Rim” Petrozzi, a man he both admired and has sought to emulate his whole life. “Rim” was larger than life to his son, and to the legions of friends, family members and associates who had the privilege of knowing him until he passed away in 2013. Paul saw that his father was a man of his word whose deeds and actions spoke louder than words. It is his example of industry, kindness, honor, and compassion that inform every decision that Paul has made and continues to make as the owner of Valley Fuel. Inspired by this father, Paul Petrozzi has worked diligently since he was a teen when he first started in his family’s 100year old concrete business. When it was too cold to pour concrete, Paul began delivering oil for Valley Fuel in his spare time. He also became a firefighter, serving for 29 and a half years before eventually retiring as the Fire Marshall of West Warwick. Hard work was, and always has been, his ethos. In 2012, with his eye on his family’s future, Petrozzi purchased Valley Fuel/Warwick Oil from its longtime owner, respected businessman and his former employer Tom Zampa. From that time forward, everyone in the Petrozzi family has had a role in maintaining the impeccable reputation of this

March 28, 2022
ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Avoid having someone else take credit for the project you started by finishing it yourself. Then it will be you lovely Lambs who will be wearing those well-deserved laurels. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) The facts about a new opportunity are still emerging. Wait until they’re all out in the open, and then use your keen business sense to help make the right decision. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You might feel confused, even hurt by a friend who suddenly puts distance between you. If she or he won’t discuss it, don’t push it. An explanation should come in time. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Your willingness to be part of the team opens doors that had been shut to you. Keep them open by keeping your promises even when your commitment seems to be wavering. LEO (July 23 to August 22) Congratulations. You’re really getting things done to purr-fection. And don’t forget to take a catnap now and again to keep those energy levels up and bristling for action. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Your “plain-talking” honesty is admirable. But sometimes sharp words can leave painful scars. Be careful that what you say doesn’t come back to hurt you.
LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) A stress-filled period takes a positive turn as you deal with the underlying problem. Act now to avoid a recurrence by changing some basic rules in your relationship. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Your rising energy levels make it easier for you to achieve some important objectives. This could lead to a big boost in how you’re perceived, both at home and on the job. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) A changing picture begins to emerge as you learn more about an offer that seemed so right but could be so wrong. Look to a trusted adviser for guidance. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Spiritual aspects are strong. Take time to reflect on the path you’re on and where you hope it will lead you. It’s also a good time to reach out to loved ones. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) You could be assuming far too many responsibilities, whether it’s at work or in personal matters. Be careful that you’re not weighed down by them. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) You’re getting closer to your goals. And since nothing succeeds like success (or the promise thereof), don’t be surprised to find new supporters swimming alongside you. BORN THIS WEEK: You are always the first to try new ventures and confront new challenges. You inspire others with your courage to follow your bold example.
