Spleen Screens Bacteria and Spent Blood Cells From Body DEAR DR. ROACH: I had an abdominal X-ray to check on my gallstones, and was surprised to find an enlarged spleen. I was told it might be leukemia or lymphoma! I was sent to an oncologist, who reassured me that I did not have cancer and recommended I get checked again in six months. My doctor checked it after three, and my spleen had gone back down! What is all this with the spleen? People have it removed after injuries, like accidents. It seems to be insignificant, but can it be an omen for cancer? — M.K. ANSWER: The spleen is an underappreciated abdominal organ. Its major job is to filter and remove old or damaged red blood cells, but it also removes bacteria. In addition, the spleen acts as a very large lymph node, allowing infection-fighting white blood cells to gather and activate. Removal of the spleen leaves people at a higher risk of some kinds of bacterial infections. Enlargement of the spleen has many potential causes. Both liver and heart disease can cause passive congestion of the spleen with blood. Cancer, especially lymphoma, is a common cause, but infection is one cause to consider in a person in whom the spleen enlarges and then returns to normal. There are many less-common causes as well. If the spleen is removed or is nonfunctional (this is almost universal

It is probably worth it for your doctor to continue to keep an eye on. *** DEAR DR. ROACH: An acquaintance has recently (within the past two years) been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. She is now using a “cell membrane stabilizing” diet. Is this likely to help her? Is there any evidence that it works? — S.P.M. ANSWER: Although I wasn’t able to find anything about a specific diet with that name, I reviewed the literature on the effects of diet on Parkinson’s disease, and the data are still preliminary. For most of the recommendations I have, there are conflicting reports. Of the dietary factors with the best data, I found that fruits and vegetables are likely to be helpful and to protect against damage to the part of the brain affected by PD. Omega-3 fatty acids were found to be helpful in animal models of PD. Products high in soy protein and caffeine (especially from tea) may have some benefit. Again, these data are not strong, so I am not recommending a dramatic change in the diet solely to protect against PD. However, fruits and vegetables are certainly of benefit for multiple systems, and I am comfortable recommending a diet high in those. Milk and other dairy products have been shown in some, but not all, studies to have a detrimental effect on PD. Diet is of importance in many areas of health, but the role in PD seems to be modest, based on current literature. As always, a visit with a registered dietitian nutritionist is worthwhile to get specific and personalized information. Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual questions, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible.

RI Reg #44342
By Jennifer Coates If there is one thing that professional painter Alex Carlson dislikes, it is a sloppy paint job. After having painted homes and businesses for over 12 years, it is no wonder he has no patience for shoddy work! Alex Carlson is the owner of Ocean State Painting & Property Maintenance. Though his business was officially started two years ago, Carlson has been working with his hands since he was a child. He began tinkering with home renovations as a young boy with his uncle. This instilled in Alex a passion for the work. In high school, Alex’s official training continued with the school’s carpentry vocational program. From there, he went on to apprentice for a cabinet and painting contractor who gave him priceless first-hand experience in the field. Today, he now runs a successful business which supports his young family and gives him a sense of excitement for the future. Alex’s intolerance for poor workmanship sets him apart from many of his competitors. He has always had high standards and the highest of expectations for his work. With a keen eye for imperfections and flaws, whether it is a seam or gap that needs to be caulked, or nails that need to be set, holes that need to be filled or peeling paint that needs to be scraped and sanded before being primed, he never settles for

The most important work for Carlson begins with the prep work, the meticulous and detail-oriented work of preparing any surface for paint. If your house has shutters, they come down and are sanded, primed then painted. If there is peeling paint, it gets sanded down before any finishing work is done. If your house has trim or molding that needs to be repainted, he sets all nails, fills all holes, caulks all seams, and then sands them to ensure a glass-like finish with a quality semi-gloss. No detail is overlooked. When working, Alex points out that “sometimes the long way to get something done is actually the

Ultimately, they must go back and do it again when, if they took the time to do it right the first time, it would have taken less time in the end! Customers will also find Alex busy laying flooring, refinishing hardwoods, refinishing & repainting cabinets, removing wallpaper, and more.

Healthy Soup Makes Eating Vegetables Easy Like most folks, I've resolved to eat more vegetables in the new year. Here's an inexpensive and appetizing idea that's been making my goal much easier. Each weekend, make one big pot of Very Versatile Vegetable Soup to enjoy for lunch the entire week.
www.JasonCoblentz.com
Use variations to change up basic vegetable soup
GADZOOKS! Your favorite business doesn’t advertise in
THE REMINDER?
Well, why not bring them a free copy of the paper and tell them how much you and your friends enjoy it?
This soup is delicious, but to avoid the "soup again?" syndrome, simple additions to the basic vegetable soup totally change up the flavors so we don't get bored. Some variation ideas follow the recipe. What makes this recipe unique is that the veggies are sauteed for a little caramelization, maximizing their natural sweetness. This adds tremendous depth of umami flavor you don't usually find in vegetable soup.
Of course, you can add any veggies you like to this soup, but I concentrated on lower-carb veggies. However, strong tasting vegetables like broccoli or asparagus tend to overpower the other flavors. This delectable recipe can be made on the stovetop or a crock pot, makes about 10 servings, is easily doubled and freezes beautifully in single or family-size portions.
VERY VERSATILE VEGETABLE SOUP Yield: 10 servings Time: 1 hour (stovetop) 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided 1 large onion, chopped 4 large carrots, chopped 4 celery stalks, chopped 4–6 cloves garlic, minced (more if you love garlic!) 1 medium head green cabbage, chopped 1 (28 ounce) can Italian-style diced tomatoes, undrained 2 cups green beans, fresh or frozen, chopped 2 small russet potatoes (optional) peeled and chopped 8 cups (five 14.5 ounce cans) low-sodium chicken, beef or vegetable broth One big pinch red pepper flakes (optional) Salt and pepper to taste 1. The secret to this soup is the saute. Put 1 tablespoon oil in a large soup pot on medium-high heat. Add onion and cook until nearly translucent. Add carrot and saute for 3 minutes. Add celery and continue to cook for another 3 minutes, adding more oil as needed. (Remember that you're not cooking the veggies, just sauteing for the scrumptious flavor it imparts. If you get a little golden color, that's fantastic!) 2. Add the garlic and mix it together for 1 minute. Add cabbage and stir. I
add a little salt and pepper now. Cook until the cabbage begins to wilt. Add the tomatoes, green beans, potatoes, if using, broth and pepper flakes, and mix it all together. 3. If you're putting this in a crock pot to finish; dump it in now, set to LOW for 6 to 8 hours. To finish on the stovetop; let it come to a boil then turn heat to low. Let it gently simmer away until the veggies are tender, and the soup smells divine, roughly 30 minutes. 4. Add salt and pepper to taste at the end because as the soup reduces, it concentrates the flavors, including salt. You can replace half the broth with water to reduce the sodium. VARIATIONS Change the flavor by adding these ingredients to the hot soup by the bowl. Mock Minestrone — White beans, big handful of spinach, cooked ditalini or small shell pasta, and Parmesan cheese. Cabbage Roll — Cooked hamburger, rice and a splash of Worcestershire. Finish with a dollop of sour cream. Southwest — Add shredded cooked chicken, black beans, corn and a dash of cumin and chili powder. Top with shredded cheese. Greek Lemon Chicken — Cooked shredded chicken, orzo or rice, dried or fresh oregano and a big squeeze of lemon. I'm for anything that makes it easy and affordable to reach our nutritional goals.

• Freshen stuffed animals by securing a few in a pillowcase and adding a fabric softener sheet. Put in the dryer on low heat for 20 minutes, then remove and brush out the fur, if necessary, while still warm. • “Keep a quart container in the freezer and whenever you have a small amount of leftovers, chop them up and add it to your container. When it’s full, thaw it. Add some of your favorite soup beans, pizza sauce, milk and cheese, and you have a unique and delicious soup.” — M. from Pennsylvania • If you’ve been decluttering as a part of your New Year’s resolutions, and you came across old pairs of eyeglasses, know that you can donate them to any Lion’s Club in your area. They redistribute the glasses to those who cannot afford them. You don’t have to know the prescription, and they take reading glasses, too! • How can you keep snow and ice off your windshield? Some say a solution of three parts vinegar to one-part water sprayed on the windshield each night can cut your ice-scraping time in half or better. (Use caution to avoid your paint job.) Also, try covering your wipers with an old pair of long socks so they don’t freeze to the glass! • “For pastry cooking, try grating frozen butter into the flour. It cuts in better and will stay cool longer. This helps when I’m making shortbread, as the flour and butter need to be combined. I don’t end up having to put it in the fridge to cool it back down.” — C.S. in South Carolina Send your tips to Now Here’s a Tip, 628 Virginia Drive, Orlando, FL 32803. © 2022 King Features Synd., Inc.

HOLLYWOOD — Are great movie musicals a thing of the past? When Steven Spielberg decided to remake “West Side Story,” he purported to reimagine what the American Film Institute chose as the second greatest movie musical of all time. Spielberg’s “West Side Story” received 93% positive notices from 306 reviews, which critics called “a knockout,” “brash effervescence” and “a poignant American fairytale.” But The New Yorker magazine disagreed, saying “Spielberg’s ‘West Side Story’ remake is worse than the original. Spielberg makes misguided additions and removed much of the best.” The film cost $100 million, and was originally due Dec. 18, 2020, but was delayed by COVID-19. In its 45-day theatrical release, it needed to gross $300 million to break even. They’re looking down a long road for that. It’s unfortunate that the film was banned in four major Middle East countries due to objections to the transgender character “Anybody’s,” played by nonbinary actor Iris Menas. Forbes magazine has announced there will be a stage musical sequel, “Maria,” by Steven Sapp and his wife, which focuses on what happened to Maria after Tony’s death. Maria was alive at the end of “West Side Story,” but Juliet died in “Romeo and Juliet.” Shakespeare never wrote a sequel. *** AFI’s list of the 20 greatest movie musicals ranks “Singing in the Rain” at No. 1, followed by the original “West Side Story,” “The Wizard of Oz,” “The Sound of Music” and “Cabaret.” Rounding out the top 10 are “Mary Poppins,” “A Star Is Born” (with Judy Garland), “My Fair Lady,” “An American in Paris” and “Meet Me in St. Louis.” “The King and I” comes in at No. 11, followed by “Chicago,” “42nd Street,” “All That Jazz,” “Top Hat,” “Funny Girl,” “The Band Wagon,” “Yankee Doodle Dandy,” “On the Town” and “Grease.” But where are the great musicals such

Monoclonal antibodies are proteins that fight viruses, such as the virus that causes COVID-19. The treatment is fast, easy, and highly effective. It helps keep you from getting sicker and being hospitalized. The earlier you start treatment after your symptoms begin the more effective it is, so get tested as soon as you have COVID-19 symptoms.

Q: A:
Who plays Beth on the hit show “Yellowstone”? I’ve never seen her before. — M.C. Kelly Reilly plays headstrong Beth Dutton, daughter to Kevin Costner’s John Dutton, in the blockbuster Western drama “Yellowstone.” She was born in 1977 in Surrey, England. She started out as a stage actress and was nominated for a Laurence Olivier Award in 2003. In 2005, she played Caroline Bingley in the film “Pride & Prejudice” opposite Keira Knightley. Her first leading role was in the 2008 horror flick “Eden Lake” with Michael Fassbender. She later played Vince Vaughn’s wife in the second season of HBO’s “True Detective.” “Yellowstone,” which airs on the cable channel Paramount, is a huge hit, with its season premiere this year bringing in more than 8 million viewers. Next up for Reilly is the upcoming film “Promises,” a romantic drama set in Europe co-starring Italian actor Pierfrancesco Favino (“Night at the Museum”). *** Is the British show “Peaky Blinders” coming back with new episodes anytime soon? I’ve watched all the episodes on Netflix and was hoping for more. — L.L. Yes, there will be a sixth and final season of “Peaky Blinders.” Cillian Murphy (“The Dark Knight Rises”) stars in the series about a gangster family in Birmingham, England, during the roaring ‘20s, and the upcoming new season is expected to hit Netflix before the summer of 2022. Season six promises to answer the cliffhanger of who betrayed Tommy. There have been rumors that big-name stars like Julia Roberts and Samuel L. Jackson will have roles, but nothing has been confirmed. However, creator Steven Knight announced that a “Peaky Blinders” feature film or two are definitely in the cards. *** I started watching “The White Lotus” on HBO mainly because Connie Britton is my favorite actress. However, I’m very impressed with everyone on the show, in particular the manager of the resort and the actress who plays the young journalist. Can you tell me about them? — E.A.

Kelly Reilly plays Beth Dutton in the Paramount Western “Yellowstone.”
A:
“The White Lotus,” which was filmed at a completely redecorated Four Seasons resort in Maui, is about a group of wealthy but clueless vacationers in Hawaii. It starts off with a mystery — a coffin is seen being loaded onto a plane — before flashing back to the beginning of the story. Australian actor Murray Bartlett plays Armond, the harried hotel manager. Daytime soap fans might remember him as Julian on “All My Children” and then later as Cyrus on “Guiding Light.” He’s guest-starred on “The Good Wife” and “Nashville,” the latter of which starred Britton. Next up for him is the postapocalyptic series “The Last of Us” co-starring Nick Offerman and Pedro Pascal, which will air on HBO later this year. Alexandra Daddario plays newlywed Rachel Patton. She was a regular on the shows “White Collar” and “Parenthood” before landing the muchtalked-about role of Woody Harrelson’s mistress in season one of “True Detective.” Most recently she played Jade on the Paramount+ dark comedy series “Why Women Kill.” Send me your questions at NewCelebrityExtra@gmail.com, or write me at KFWS, 628 Virginia Drive, Orlando, FL 32803. © 2022 King Features Synd., Inc.

Signs of Life by SUSAN E. DEAN
J
anuary always brings thoughts of my mother. She would be 102 on January 28 if she was still with us. But not only memories of her during my growing-up years and beyond come to mind, but also, where is she now? Does she know that her grandchildren, who were young when she died, are all married with children of their own? Is she smiling now that I am a grandmother of four? I was a single mother when she died - my status causing her pain and angst as in her mind divorce was something to be ashamed of, something that shouldn’t be discussed. I suppose her thinking came from her own upbringing and generational mindset. Was she with me when I remarried? Watching over my wedding with a smile of relief and satisfaction that all was right with the world again? I like to think that she is still with us. And I think she’s sending us signs. It started within days of her death in July, 1995. My cousin, also dealing with cancer, died fifteen hours after my mother passed. We envisioned them holding hands and helping each other cross over the bridge together. During the trying days of the back-to-back funerals, a rosebush I had planted in the spring transformed itself from a lone, spindly stick into two full, bright pink roses, practically overnight. One for each of them. My mother loved pink roses and every time I saw those two delicate blossoms nodding in the summer breezes, I thought of her, and my cousin, too, both smiling at me, which, in turn, gave me a reason to smile in the middle of those difficult days. Once those two blooms had faded, my rosebush returned to its former shriveled, bare stick state and remained that way. And it didn’t end there. The following spring, my rosebush emerged from its winter rest as a sparse, reedy, thin stick again. It began to grow and change in the days leading up to my nephew’s birth in June. And by the time my nephew was born, there were three full, bright pink roses. I took it as a sign that my mother was signaling her love for her fourth grandchild. A rose for each of them - my mother, my cousin, and for the sweet new baby who had just entered the world.
My mother had a Christmas cactus, which dutifully bloomed bright and beautiful every December. My brother adopted it and took it into his home after her death. But it didn’t bloom that December, as it always had year after year. It bloomed on January 28, 1996 - my mother’s birthday - the first one after her death that previous summer. Flowers and plants are growing, resilient things. They remind me that life goes on, quietly, surely, unendingly, in spite of the seeming finality and separation of death. Were these truly signs from my mother? Last year on my mother’s birthday, my brother, Rob, was driving and thinking about our mother, who would have turned 101 last January 28th. A car pulled out of a side street and got in line in front of Rob. Rob glanced at the license plate of the car ahead of him and was shocked to read LMF - with no numbers - just the letters alone. Our mother’s initials were LMF - Louise Mellor Falciglia. Rob was astonished and immediately called me to share what he had seen. “Was it a sign?” he asked me. I truly think it was. Our mother loved monograms and had many of her possessions emblazoned with her LMF initials through the years. My youngest daughter, Gretchen, who was nine when my mother died, was married this past December. She wore my mother’s vintage dressy shoulder wrap over her sleeveless wedding dress en route to the ceremony.
Gretchen also wore a pin hidden beneath one of the folds of her gown. Her two older sisters had also worn the pin on their dresses when they were married. The pin is a white oval trimmed with gold and adorned with a delicate pink rose in its center. I had given the pin to my mother years ago on one of her birthdays, knowing her love for pink roses. I also wore some of my mother’s jewelry to Gretchen’s wedding and I have a feeling that my mother was there. I could almost see her in my youngest granddaughter’s smile - 4-year-old Emilia - our flower girl proudly performing her duties scattering rose petals for her Aunt Gretchen’s walk down the aisle. I like to think that life does go on and that there is a cycle to it all. There is life, death, and change. Flowers share their beauty with us for a time, go through changes, and die away, and circle back with new growth. Maybe we do, too. Life signs after death? What are the chances that my timely flowering rosebush, a Christmas cactus blooming out of season on a significant date, and a random license plate were all meaningless coincidences? Maybe this year there will be another nod from wherever my mother is - a sign that will let us know that she is holding us in her heart as we hold her in ours. I will send her love on her birthday and will keep my eyes, ears, and heart open to receive any messages that she is present, listening, and still loving us, too. Maybe even a rose will bloom in January - a pink one, of course.

eading a healthier lifestyle doesn’t have to mean making dramatic changes. It means making smarter choices. Looking and feeling better starts by making conscious choices every day that may be small, but will add up in the end. Here are some simple tips and recipes that will help you make smarter food choices so that you can truly live better. Add a Fruit or Vegetable to Every Meal. When you add a little bit here and there, before you know it you’ll be eating your five cups of fruits and veggies a day without even thinking about it. Here are some simple ways to increase your intake: n Lighten up your cheese omelet by adding fresh tomatoes, onions and avocado. n Fill your sandwich with crunchy veggies such as green peppers and cucumber slices and add a pickle on the side. n Keep mid-afternoon cravings at bay by stashing a bag of baby carrots or sugar snap peas in your office refrigerator for a healthy snack. n Satisfy your sweet tooth by tossing a handful of frozen berries on top of your frozen yogurt. Choose Smart Staples. Many families have a set of go-to ingredients they purchase on each trip to the grocery store. It only takes small adjustments to your current grocery list to achieve a better-for-you mix of foods and beverages. Try these easy tips: n Low fat or fat-free plain yogurt is an ideal choice because it’s often higher in calcium than other dairy products and is a good source of protein and potassium. n When buying deli sandwich meat, going all natural is a great way to cut down on additives and preservatives. For example, Hormel Natural Choice deli sandwich meats are free of preservatives and artificial colors and flavors so they taste the way meat is supposed to taste: fresh and full of flavor. n Instead of drinking sugary sodas and juices, quench your thirst with tea. Whether you drink it hot or cold, unsweetened tea is calorie-free and loaded with antioxidants. Lighten Up Lunch. Start a “Lunch Bunch” at work where members take turns bringing in a healthy lunch item for the group. Healthy lunch clubs are an excellent way to experience foods that are new and different and also good for you. Share recipes and make sure you know ahead of time about any food preferences or allergies that group members may have. For more tips and recipes visit http://www.hormelnatural.com.

RETIREMENT SPARKS by ELAINE M. DECKER
Banned Words & Phrases A
s with previous years, many entries on my 2022 list of banned words and phrases come from our president. Trump gave us some whoppers; Biden is responsible for some real doozies. Trump’s were often offensive; Biden’s were frequently overused. We found ourselves thinking: “He always says that.” Here’s this year’s list. Let’s start by banning the use of two proper names, except for the people who were given these names when they were born. The first is “Karen”. For those who don’t know (where have you been?), calling someone Karen, or “a Karen” is the latest way to insult a woman (usually white) who is self-centered and demanding. Instead hit them with the deets of what it is you don’t like. Don’t tip toe around by calling them Karen. The second name is even more annoying: “Brandon”. The phrase “Let’s Go Brandon” has become a rallying cry for people who hate Biden. For those who don’t know (again, where have you been?), somehow the president’s name has morphed into “Brandon” as a way to troll him without directly insulting him. You hear this in the background at Trump’s rallies and on certain right wing TV programs. It’s just plain silly so cut it out. As always, I have some political terms to put into 2022’s dumpster, starting with “whataboutism”. This not-so-clever way of deflecting attention away from one’s own failings must end. A counteraccusation or new issue in the discussion doesn’t absolve you of whatever misdeed you committed. Here’s an idea. Try “I’m sorry” instead. I’m also so over hearing the expression “sausage-making”. I blame the Democrats for this one. Their budget process was so convoluted that legislators were reduced to defending it by apologizing for making us hear about the sausage-making. This did not help. I’m hopeful that the phrase and the process are behind us for 2022. Here’s a word to get rid of and replace with something that better explains what it was originally meant to convey: “defund”. In most cities, the intention was not to drain 100% of the budget of the local police department so that there were no police. It was to shift funds from certain activities that were causing problems and invest in ones that could help with problem solving. In most cases, that meant more funding for mental health. Stop talking “defunding” and start talking solutions. How about: “Shift some funds” from street police to social workers trained to address mental health issues. We can give conservatives credit for the next two items on this list. “Snowflake” is a descriptor that has fallen into ill repute on both sides of the aisle, but those on
the right seem particularly fond of it. It’s been around for over a decade, but it really came into its own in 2021 to describe someone with an inflated sense of their own uniqueness or an undeserved sense of entitlement. The original Karen is probably a snowflake. The far right gets credit for my ban of “false flag”. The riots of January 6 illustrate why we need to trash this term. Spend some time looking at videos of that event. You’d need to credit someone with incredible skill in Photoshop to believe that the perpetrators responsible are correct in blaming others not seen in the videos. The rioters’ claims are a “false flag”: a deliberate misrepresentation of their own affiliations or motives. Now let’s share some Bidenisms that we need to ban. The first is a group of several that all mean about the same thing and get repeated until they send you to the TV mute button. We have four negatives: “not a joke/not kidding/all kidding aside/no really”. For variety, try the positive: “seriously.” Or “honestly.” Or… you get the idea. Another Biden favorite that gets overused is: “Here’s the deal”. Ordinarily there would be nothing wrong with this phrase. But in Biden’s hands (or mouth), it’s losing its luster. If he can just give it a rest in 2022, perhaps I’ll let him have it back after the midterms. The final Bidenism on my list is: “That’s not hyperbole”. Indeed, it’s likely that whatever he just referred to was not hyperbole. As a figure of speech, a hyperbolic statement is usually not meant to be taken literally. I’m not always sure about what Biden has just said. Did he mean: take what I’ve said literally? Or was it a mild exaggeration? I want to know. No really. And so this year’s list of banned words and phrases comes to a close. I’ve given you some real gems to jettison going forward. Copyright 2022 Business Theatre Unlimited Elaine M.

NEW FINANCIAL YOU
Managing Costs of Assisted Living As individuals age, various circumstances have to be reassessed. A current living situation may not be meeting the needs of a senior who may be having difficulty caring properly for himself or herself. Families often consider senior residences to provide welcoming and safe environments for their loved ones during the golden years of their lives. These facilities may range from independent living homes with minimal care offered to nursing homes that provide more intensive care when needed. Somewhere in the middle lies assisted living homes, which blend the independence of personal residences with other amenities, such as the housekeeping, medication reminders or meal services. Assisted living can be a viable option when a person can no longer live alone, but such facilities come with a price. According to a Market Survey of Long-Term Care Costs conducted by MetLife, the national average for assisted living base rates was $3,550 per month in 2012. In the 2015 Cost of Care Survey conducted by Genworth Financial, the assisted living, national-median monthly rate was now $3,600 Ñ and it’s only expected to grow. Affording these homes and apartments can be challenging for those with fixed incomes, but there are some strategies that can help. The payment method that serves you best will depend on your unique circumstances, but there are options available. • Long-term care insurance: Long-term care insurance is specialized insurance that is paid into and may cover the cost of assisted living facilities and other medical care, depending on the policy. The American Association for Long-Term Care Insurance says that only roughly 3 percent of Americans have this type of insurance, but it is something to consider during working years. • Personal savings: Some people have the means to pay for assisted living with their own savings and retirement nest eggs. However, it’s easy for savings to become depleted when facing a $40,000+ per year bill. • Life insurance: A financial advisor may advocate to pay for assisted living with a life insurance policy. Some companies enable you to cash out for ‘accelerated’ or ‘living’ benefits, which usually is a buy-back of the policy for 50 to 75 percent of the face value. Other third parties may purchase the policy for a settlement of a lump sum, again roughly 50 to 75 percent of the policy’s face value, according to Caring.com, an online source for support and information about the needs of aging people.
• Location: Costs of assisted living facilities vary depending on location. It’s possible to get a lower monthly rate simply by choosing a facility in a different state. • Negotiation: Not all prices are set in stone. Speak with a manager at the facility and see if there is any price flexibility or move-in incentives. You also may be able to get a lower rate by negotiating certain a-la-carte costs against all-inclusive pricing. Perhaps you do not need laundry or shopping services, and family members can fill in the gaps, reducing your bill. • Veteran’s benefits: Many veterans are eligible for care benefits that can offset the cost of assisted living care. • Rooms: Opting for a smaller room or sharing a space can keep costs down as well. See if shared rooms are a possibility. Assisted living is a necessity for thousands of people. Explore the ways to finance this purchase. MM15C743
Consider the different options available to help pay for assisted living services.
DID YOU KNOW?
According to Gallup’s 2021 Economy and Personal Finance survey, the average individual in the United States is retiring earlier than many people might expect. Gallup found that the average retirement age was 62, which is two years earlier than the working respondents indicated they planned to retire. The average retirement age is worth noting, as studies routinely find that the greatest concern about retiring is not having enough money saved to meet needs. By recognizing your may retiring earlier than initially planned, you can make a concerted effort to save more money in the years ahead. TF222693

SAY YOU SAW IT IN THE REMINDER
SENIOR ISSUES by LARRY GRIMALDI
For The Love of Food And Family There was more than a bit of irony in reading TasteMy Life Through Food by actor, writer, producer, and noted foodie Stanley Tucci. I was recuperating from three December stays at Miriam Hospital for pancreatitis while undergoing CAT scans, MRIs, X-rays, endoscopies, gastrointestinal tubes and any other “oscopies” you can imagine. Although I was home for Christmas Eve and Christmas, I was unable to savor in my favorite meal of the year, La Virgilia (the Feast of the Seven Fishes). There must be hundreds of different family menus for the Christmas Eve La Virgilia gastronomic extravaganza, my personal favorite. Receiving Taste as a Christmas present took away some of the sting of a fishless and feast-less Christmas week. Taste is much more than a cookbook. It’s a culinary journey through time and the Tucci family history, interspersed with recipes for classic Italian staples, such as Pasta on Aglio e Olio (spaghetti in olive oil), Frittatas (Italian omelets where you can allow your creative cooking instincts to throw everything in the refrigerator into the egg mixture), Spaghetti Bolognese, or a Ragu sauce. You can also learn the secrets of creating the perfect martini or how to craft a Negoni, an Italian martini. In any case, you will discover that the recipes you grew up with have countless variations in ingredients. Taste is done with considerable humor, a hint of sarcasm, and an appreciation of food as a diverse and rich quilt in a cultural tapestry. It’s a virtuoso to food as performed by a full orchestra of food fanatics.
Reading Taste, I felt as though I had stepped into a time machine and landed in our kitchen on any Sunday more than 60 years ago. The kitchen table was the focal point of our tiny South Providence, Rhode Island tenement. My mother, Anne and father, Lawrence and my sister Maryann were sometimes joined by members of our large, extended Italian family for Sunday dinner. The bubbling gurgle and sweet, seductive aroma of the simmering Sunday gravy, gently caressing the meat-balls, sausage, pork chops, braciola, and rolled up pig skin linger in my memory. Most times, my mother would let us devour one of the browned meatballs before it was immersed in the gravy to finish cooking. I retired a few years ago and now make my own gravy, experimenting with different varieties of tomatoes, basil, oregano, garlic, and just a bit of hot pepper that we grow in our small garden on the side of the garage. Taste revealed the numerous variations of classic Italian staples that we all grew up with. Although my wife Kathy is of French/Irish descent, she learned the secrets of making the perfect meatball from my Uncle Mike and solved the mysteries of preparing many Italian dishes from my Aunt Tillie (yes Tillie). In many cases, she had to decipher the true meaning of Aunt Tillie’s instruction to add “just a little of thisnot a lot” or a “some of that.” After dinner we often spent Sunday afternoons visiting relatives (never showing up without some sweets for the coffee an’). In a nod to tradition, we try to have Sunday dinners with my daughter and sonin-law and our 18-year-old twin granddaughters Katharine and Sophia (when they are home from college) and our 12-year-old grandson Nicholas.
I can also remember spending many a Sunday summer afternoon spent at Goddard State Park with the accompanying contingent of aunts, uncles, and cousins. Most of my relatives worked in those ubiquitous jewelry manufacturing plants and job shops that dotted the Providence Sunlandscape until the 1970s. Sun fac day was the only day off for factory workers like my mother and father. Unlike most families that chowed down on potato salad, hot dogs, hamburgers cooked over camp fires, we brought the entire Sunday sau dinner, macaroni and meatballs, sausage, roasted chicken and potatoes, etc. to the picnic table. The soda and beer (seven-ounce Narragansett “stubbies”) were cooled in a green metal chest with the bottle opener screwed onto the side. As a pilgrim New York Yankee fan in the unun holy land of Red Sox Nation inhabited by my father and uncles, I strained to hear the Sunday doubleheader broadcasts of Mel Allen or Phil Rizzuto through the crackling static of my transistor radio. Like my grandfather, many of our neighbors, who were related to one branch of the family or another, had summer cottages at Conimicut Point in Warwick. At least once a week, we would devour spaghetti with red clam sauce, thick with quahogs harvested from the cove that day. The clams in the sauce were what was left of the day’s bounty that my uncles or my father did not open and eat immediately after excavating them up from the mud flats. As you have guessed by now, food and family are a big part of my life. I thoroughly enjoyed Taste for its humor, honesty, texture, respect for tradition, and appreciation for the simple pleasures of life. For me, Taste was validation of the priceless gift of being surrounded by a loving, supportive family, seasoned with traditional Italian foods. I hope that my grandchildren will carry on these traditions and preserve and nurture their cultural heritage, Uncle Mike, Aunt Tillie, and my mother will be watching over them and smiling.

Alzheimer’s Disease
ISSUES
10 Early Signs & Symptoms
Memory loss that disrupts daily life may be a symptom of Alzheimer’s or another dementia. Alzheimer’s is a brain disease that causes a slow decline in memory, thinking, and reasoning skills. There are 10 warning signs and symptoms. Every individual may experience one or more of these signs in a different degree. If you notice any of them, please see a doctor.
time. What’s a typical age-related change? Misplacing things from time to time and retracing steps to find them.
8.
1. Memory Loss that Disrupts Daily Life One of the most common signs of Alzheimer’s is memory loss, especially forgetting recently learned information. Others include forgetting important dates or events; asking for the same information over and over; increasingly needing to rely on memory aids (e.g., reminder notes or electronic devices) or family members for things they used to handle on their own. What’s a typical age-related change? Sometimes forgetting names or appointments, but remember them later.
9. Withdrawal from Work or Social Activities A person with Alzheimer’s may
start to remove themselves from hobbies, social activities, work projects or sports. They may have trouble keeping up with a favorite sports team or remembering how to complete a favorite hobby. They may also avoid being social because of the changes they have experienced. What’s a typical age-related change? Sometimes feeling weary or work, family and social obligations.
2. Challenges in Planning or Solving Problems
Some people may experience changes in their ability to develop and follow a plan or work with numbers. They may have trouble following a familiar recipe or keeping track of monthly bills. They may have difficulty concentrating and take much longer to do things than they did before. What’s a typical age-related change? Making occasional errors when balancing a checkbook.
3. Difficulty Completing Familiar Tasks at Home, Work, or Leisure
People with Alzheimer’s often find it hard to complete daily tasks. Sometimes, people may have trouble driving to a familiar location, managing a budget at work or remembering the rules of a favorite game. What’s a typical age-related change? Occasionally needing help to use the settings on a microwave or to record a television show.
4. Confusion with Time or Place People with Alzheimer’s can lose track of dates, seasons, and the passage of time. They may have trouble understanding something if it is not happening immediately. Sometimes they may forget where they are or how they got there. What’s a typical agerelated change? Getting confused about the day of the week but figuring it out later. 5. Trouble Understanding Visual Images & Spatial Relationships
For some people, having vision problems is a sign of Alzheimer’s. They may have difficulty reading, judging dis-
10. Changes in Mood and Personality The mood and personalities of people with
tance and determining color or contrast, which may cause problems with driving. What’s a typical age-related change? Vision changes related to cataracts.
6. New Problems with Words in Speaking or Writing People with Alzheimer’s may have trouble fol-
lowing or joining a conversation. They may stop in the middle of a conversation and have no idea how to continue or they may repeat themselves. They may struggle with vocabulary, have problems finding the right word or call things by the wrong name (e.g., calling a “watch” a “hand-clock”). What’s a typical age-related change? Sometimes having trouble finding the right word.
7. Misplacing Things and Losing the Ability to Retrace Steps
A person with Alzheimer’s disease may put things in unusual places. They may lose things and be unable to go back over the steps to find them again. Sometimes, they may accuse others of stealing. This may occur more frequently over
ACCORDING TO DON by DON FOWLER
Classic Movies Never Go Out of Fashion “They don’t make movies like they used to,” a friend complained to me. “All these superheroes and action movies are for the younger generation. And everything is R rated these days.” Many of us long for the good old days with actors like Cary Grant and Bette Davis, and films like The Maltese Falcon and Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. Well, I’ve got good news for you. Oldies but goodies, dating back to the 1930’s can be seen 24 hours a day, seven days a week on the Turner Classic Movies channel. And they are shown straight through without ads, In between movies, experts offer comments on the movie and the actors and show short pieces about them. If there is a movie shown at an inconvenient time, like three o’clock in the morning, you can record it for later viewing. If the phone rings, you can put it on hold. Go on line at Turner Classic Movies and you will find a complete listing for the month. Listings include the year, the stars, the time, and a short description of the plot.
Decreased or Poor Judgment
People with Alzheimer’s may experience changes in judgment or decision-making. For example, they may use poor judgment when dealing with money, giving large amounts to telemarketers. They may pay less attention to grooming or keeping themselves clean. What’s a typical age-related change? Making a bad decision once in a while.
Here is a sampling of a few of the great movies being shown the week of January 24. • Monday, Jan. 24- 2:30 p.m.- “The Dirty Dozen” the 1967 classic prison movie starring Lee Marvin, Ernest Borgnine and Charles Bronson. • Tuesday, Jan. 25 at 6:00 p.m.- “Wait Until Dark”- The 1967 thriller starring Audrey Hepburn. • Wednesday, Jan 26 at 8:00 p.m. “The Egg and I” -The 1947 perfect comedy starring Claudette Colbert and Fred McMurray. • Thursday, Jan. 27 at 12:00 a. m. – “Places in the Heart” (1984) starring Sally Field and Ed Harris. This poignant film is one of the few movies that brought me to tears. • Friday, Jan 28 at 4:30 p.m.-“The Fly” starring Vincent Price. This 1958 horror film set the standard for the genre. • Saturday, Jan. 29 at 2:45 p.m. “The Birdman of Alcatraz”. The 1962 film was Burt Lancaster’s finest. • Sunday, Jan. 30 at4:00 p.m. “Arsenic and Old Lace” starring Cary Grant. This 1944 film is still one of the funniest movies ever made. This is but a sampling of the movies shown around the clock. I watch them on Verizon Channel 230. They are also on Cox Channel 162.
Alzheimer’s can change. They can become confused, suspicious, depressed, fearful or anxious. They may be easily upset at home, at work, with friends or in places where they are out of their comfort zone. What’s a typical age-related change? Developing very specific ways of doing things and becoming irritable when a routine is disrupted.
What to do if you notice these signs? If you notice any of the 10 Warning Signs of Alzheimer’s in yourself or someone you know, don’t ignore them. Schedule an appointment with your doctor. With early detection you can: Get the maximum benefit from available treatments - You can explore treatments that may provide some relief of symptoms and help you maintain a level of independence longer. You may also increase your chances of participating in clinical drug trials that help advance research.

The beginning of the year is an ideal time to get organized and set oneself up for productive months ahead. It’s also a good opportunity to take inventory of seldom-used items and clear out as much clutter as possible. The amount of stuff the average person owns can affect how easy or difficult it is for that person to get organized. In 2014, professional organizer Regina Lark estimated the average American home contains 300,000 items. And it’s not just adults who love to collect and keep things, as kids contribute to the problem, too. British research, as published in The Telegraph, indicates the average 10-year-old owns 238 toys, playing with just 12 in a typical day. All of these belongings contribute to disorganization and lost time. A study by Esure Home Insurance found looking for lost items accounts for 10 minutes of wasted time each day. Getting organized can take perseverance. However, it is possible. Use these strategies to get organized in the months ahead. • Observe the ‘one-in, one-out’ rule. Practice the rule of giving away or discarding one item per each new item that comes into your home. This approach can keep a cap on the new things you own. • Skip the freebies. Resist the temptation to accept items that are being given away by family, friends, retailers. etc. Politely refuse these unnecessary items, which will only pile up. • Rent items rather than buying them. Renting rather than buying is another way to stay organized. Avid readers can rely on the public library for their weekly reads. Instead of purchasing new formal wear to wear to a wedding, rent tuxedoes, suits or evening gowns. • Make lists of what needs to be done. Writing down tasks can help them become more manageable, and a list can also ensure a task is fully completed. Physically checking off a to-do list can be quite satisfying, providing motivation to finish the rest of the list. • Take a catch-up day. Those who feel bogged down by a backlog of responsibilities can take a day off from work to catch up on chores and tasks. Fit a few things in over the course of the day.

A study by Thomas Cook UK, a United Kingdom-based travel company, indicated many people in Britain planned to cut back on social media as a top resolution as well.

No Tobacco ‘22:
HEALTHY LIVING
Lung Association Tips to Begin Your Journey to a Tobacco-Free 2022 Along with hitting the gym more often and starting a diet, quitting smoking tops many New Year’s resolution lists. Quitting tobacco isn’t easy, but 50 million ex-smokers in the United States are proof that it’s achievable. Tobacco use remains the nation’s leading cause of preventable death and disease and is a serious public health threat. Nationally, nearly 40 million Americans smoke. In Rhode Island, the adult smoking rate is 13.3% and high school tobacco use rate is 33.3%. To encourage people to quit smoking, vaping and using all tobacco products in 2022, the American Lung Association is promoting “No Tobacco ’22. To help people quit, the organization is sharing tips and resources through social media and Lung.org. “More than 70% of smokers want to quit smoking and 40% will make an attempt this year, but only between 4 and 7% can quit without support. Smokers and tobacco users who want to quit should make a plan to be successful such as setting quit date, understanding smoking triggers, talking to a doctor about quit smoking medications and finding support through family, friends and cessation programs,” said Jennifer Folkenroth, National Senior Director, Tobacco Programs, the American Lung Association. The American Lung Association offers five tips to help Americans who are ready to commit to No Tobacco ’22: 1. It’s never too late to quit. While it’s best to quit as early as possible, quitting tobacco use at any age will enhance the length and quality of your life. You’ll also save money and avoid the hassle of going outside in the cold to smoke or vape. You can even inspire those around you to quit. 2. Learn from past experiences. Most people who smoke, chew or vape have tried to quit before and sometimes people get discouraged thinking about previous attempts. Instead, treat those experiences as steps on the road to future success. Think about what helped you during those tries and what you’ll do differently in your next quit attempt.
3. You don’t have to quit alone. Enrolling in a proven-effective cessation counseling program such as the Lung Association’s Freedom From Smoking Program can increase your chances of successfully quitting and staying quit by 50%. In addition to enrolling in a program, enlisting friends and family to support you along your quit journey will help ease the process. 4. Talk to a doctor about quit smoking medications. Talking to a doctor about including cessation medication into your tobacco treatment plan can double your chances of quitting successfully. There are seven FDA-approved medications that are proven to help you quit. Just make sure to follow the directions and use them for the full duration they are prescribed. 5. Quit. Don’t Switch. E-cigarettes are tobacco products, and the Food and Drug Administration has not found any e-cigarette to be safe and effective in helping smokers quit. Switching to e-cigarettes does not mean quitting. Quitting means ending your addiction to nicotine. Make sure your tobacco treatment plan includes the two components proven to work- behavioral counseling plus FDA-approved cessation medication. The American Lung Association offers resources to help adults and teens to quit all tobacco products: • Lung Helpline: Not sure where to start? Call the Lung Association’s free Lung Helpline and Tobacco Quitline at 1-800-LUNGUSA, which is staffed with licensed registered nurses, respiratory therapists and certified tobacco treatment specialists. They can answer all your questions and connect you with the resources that are right for your quit journey. • Freedom From Smoking® helps individuals create their
ow n unique quit plan, as well as tips and techniques to stay successful in the long run. Freedom From Smoking can be accessed online, at a group clinic and through a self-guided workbook. Those looking to quit smoking are encouraged to use the method that works best for their learning style, schedule and unique quit tobacco use plan. • Not-On-Tobacco® (N-O-T) is a teen smoking/chewing/ vaping cessation program for teens who want to quit. The 10-session program provides the tools, information, and support for teens to end their addiction to tobacco. • Vape-Free Schools Initiative: The Vape-Free Schools Initiative provides school administrators and educators with training to offer an alternative-to-suspension program for students found vaping, smoking or chewing on school property, and a voluntary vaping/tobacco cessation program for youth wanting to quit for good. Learn more at Lung.org/ vape-free-schools. For more information about quitting smoking and vaping for No Tobacco ’22, visit the American Lung Association website at Lung.org or call the free Lung HelpLine at 1-800-LUNGUSA (1-800-586-4872).

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Your batteries should be fully recharged by now, making you more than eager to get back into the swing of things full time. Try to stay focused so that you don’t dissipate your energies. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You’re eager to charge straight ahead into your new responsibilities. But you’ll have to paw the ground a little longer, until a surprise complication is worked out. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Rival factions are pressuring you to take a stand favoring one side or the other. But this isn’t the time to play judge. Bow out as gracefully as possible, without committing yourself to any position. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Reassure a longtime, trusted confidante that you appreciate his or her words of advice. But at this time, you need to act on what you perceive to be your own sense of self-interest. LEO (July 23 to August 22) You need to let your warm Leonine heart fire up that new relationship if you hope to see it move from the “just friends” level to one that will be as romantic as you could hope for. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) There’s still time to repair a misunderstanding with an honest explanation and a heartfelt apology. The sooner you do, the sooner you can get on with other matters.
LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Expect a temporary setback as you progress toward your goal. Use this time to re-examine your plans and see where you might need to make some significant changes. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Some missteps are revealed as the cause of current problems in a personal or professional partnership. Make the necessary adjustments and then move on. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Jupiter’s influence helps you work through a pesky problem, allowing your naturally jovial attitude to re-emerge stronger than ever. Enjoy your success. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Set aside your usual reluctance to change, and consider reassessing your financial situation so that you can build on its strengths and minimize its weaknesses. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Some recently acquired information helps open up a dark part of the past. Resolve to put what you’ve learned to good use. Travel plans continue to be favored. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Act on your own keen instincts. Your strong Piscean backbone will support you as someone attempts to pressure you into a decision you’re not ready to make. BORN THIS WEEK: You embody a love for traditional values combined with an appreciation of what’s new and challenging.
