A new year brings about a desire for change, so let’s start with your health! When it comes to our daily meal routine, change can sometimes be challenging. Studies have shown that it takes from two to eight months to form a new habit. You can create a positive eating “habit” by making small changes over time, like eliminating sugary drinks and high-sodium foods. Consider making healthy changes that reflect your personal preferences, culture and traditions. Think of each change as a “win” as you build good habits and find solutions that reflect your new healthy eating style. Use the tips below courtesy of My Plate (www.choosemyplate.gov/start-smallchanges) to find little victories that work for you! Make Half Your Plate Fruits and Vegetables Focus on whole fruits more often than drinking 100% juice. Snack on fresh, frozen, canned or dried fruits instead of cookies, brownies or other sugar-sweetened treats. Offer whole fruits without saturated fat, sodium or added sugars as dessert. Vary your veggies to include green, red and orange choices. Add fresh, frozen or canned vegetables to salads, side dishes and recipes. Prepare your vegetables without sauces, gravies or glazes to lower the amount of sodium, saturated fat and added sugars. Make Half Your Grains Whole Grains Choose whole-grain foods more often than refined grains. Make at least half the amount of grains you eat each day whole grains. Find high fiber, whole-grain foods by reading the Nutrition Facts label and ingredients list. Some common whole grains include oatmeal, whole-wheat flour and popcorn. Move to Low-Fat and Fat-Free Dairy Choose low-fat or fat-free milk and yogurt. Buy low-fat or fat-free cheese
ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Use that Arian charm to help make a difficult workplace transition easier for everyone. News about a long-awaited decision can be confusing. Don’t jump to conclusions. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Although you might well be tempted to be more extravagant than you should be at this time, I’m betting you’ll let your sensible Bovine instinct guide you toward moderation. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) An opportunity for travel could come with some problems regarding travel companions and other matters. So be sure you read all the fine print before you start packing. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Make an effort to complete your usual workplace tasks before volunteering for extra duty. Scrambling to catch up later on could create some resentment among your colleagues. LEO (July 23 to August 22) A financial matter could have you rethinking your current spending plans. You might want to recheck your budget to see where you can cut back on expenses until the situation improves. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) One way to make your case for that promotion you’ve been hoping for might be to put your planning skills to work in helping to shape up a project that got out of hand. Good luck.
more often than regular cheese. Regular cream cheese, butter and cream are not in the dairy food group because they have little or no calcium. They also are high in saturated fat. Vary Your Protein Routine Mix up protein foods to include seafood, beans, nuts, seeds, soy, eggs, lean meats and poultry. Select seafood twice a week, including fish and shellfish. Add beans or peas, unsalted nuts and seeds, and soy in main dishes and snacks. When planning your daily meals, try healthy new ways to prepare family favorites. This recipe for Greek Pork Chops With Veggie Rice incorporates fresh fruit and juices into savory dishes and mixes grains and vegetables.

GREEK PORK CHOPS WITH VEGGIE RICE 1
pound pork cutlets (or 4 boneless pork chops) tablespoons vegetable oil cup orange juice teaspoons soy sauce tablespoon dried oregano cloves garlic (peeled and minced) 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon black pepper 1/4 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper 4 (1/4-inch-thick) orange slices 1. Make a marinade for the pork by combining 1 tablespoon of the oil, the orange juice, soy sauce, oregano and garlic in a glass bowl or re-sealable plastic bag; mix well. Cover bowl, if using, and refrigerate the pork chops for at least 4 hours or overnight. 2 1/2 2 1 2
SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Standing up to support a colleague’s viewpoint — even if it’s unpopular — can be difficult if you feel outnumbered. But you’ll win plaudits for your honesty and courage. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) While progress continues on resolving that recurring problem, you might feel it’s taking too long. But these things always need to develop at their own pace. Be patient. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Someone close to you might have a financial problem and seek your advice. If you do decide to get involved, insist on seeing everything that might be relevant to this situation. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) A personal matter takes an interesting turn. The question is, do you want to follow the new path or take time out to reconsider the change? Think this through before deciding. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Moving into a new career is a big step. Check that offer carefully with someone who has been there, done that, and has the facts you’ll need to help you make your decision. BORN THIS WEEK: Your warmth and generosity both of spirit and substance endears you to everyone. © 2020 King Features Synd., Inc.
2. Remove the pork chops from the marinade and discard the marinade. Sprinkle pork chops with the salt and the black and red pepper. 3. Place a large skillet on the stove over high heat. When hot, add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the skillet. Add the pork chops to the pan, waiting about 30 seconds between each addition. 4. Cook about 3 minutes on each side until crispy. Set pork chops aside on a plate and add the orange slices to the pan; cook on each side about 30 seconds. Serve pork chops over a bed of Mixed Veggie Rice and top with the orange slices. Serves 4.
MIXED VEGGIE RICE If using leftover, already cooked vegetables, add them to the hot cooked rice immediately, cover and let them come up to temperature for 3 to 5 minutes before serving. 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 cup uncooked long grain rice 1/2 onion, diced 2 cloves garlic, minced 2 teaspoons dried oregano 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon ground black pepper 2 cups water (or 1 cup water and 1 cup low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth) 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables or 2 cups fresh, diced vegetables. 1. In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, add the oil. Add in the rice, onion, garlic, oregano and the salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, for 2 minutes to toast the rice. 2. Pour in the water and/or the broth. Stir and bring the rice to a boil. Add the vegetables; return to a boil. Reduce heat to low and cover pot with a tight-fitting lid. Do not remove lid during the cooking process! 3. After 15 minutes, cut off the heat and let the rice sit, covered, for another 5 minutes to steam. Fluff rice and vegetables with a fork and serve immediately. Serves 4 to 6. *** Angela Shelf Medearis is an award-winning children’s author, culinary historian and the author of seven cookbooks.

the cash price of the amount of silver the piece contains. “Museum quality” is whatever the museum decides it wants to include in exhibits as interesting art, design or history. Even the name of a famous or early maker doesn’t guarantee the piece is of great value. Best sellers include Tiffany, Georg Jensen and some top-of-the-line Gorham. *** CURRENT PRICES Creamer, porcelain, pink and brown border, company monogram, marked, Ellerman Lines, 1900s, 3 3/4 inches, $25.

R.I. Construction & Design, Inc.
King Features Weekly Service
Clobbered Porcelain The English word “clobbered” has been used since at least the 1600s, but its meaning has changed. It still means beaten up, badly injured or damaged. But the word had a very different meaning in the 1700s. It describes porcelain dishes or ornaments with blueand-white underglaze decoration that were altered. And in an auction catalog or antiques display, the clobbered alterations are not bad and not damaging, but enhancing, and not a reason to pay a lower price. The Chinese made most of the blueand-white pieces in the late 1700s to early 1800s. They were shipped to many countries and overpainted with colored glazes because the public would pay more for colored urns or dishes. The decorations did not follow the blue-and-white outlines of the original glaze, but were applied as new pictures and ornamental designs over the old glaze. The English did the same overglaze decorating, but many thought it was damaged, not improved. The Germans called it “schwarzlot” (blackish) decoration. A pair of “Chinese Export clobbered porcelain vases” were sold at a New Orleans auction for $5,750. Clobbering in green, pink, yellow and copper red in the mid-1800s has added to its value today. *** Wouldn’t spoons made in the 1800s be worth more than the silver meltdown price? What makes sterling silver flatware eligible to be called “museum quality?” Most old silver flatware is no longer popular and doesn’t sell well. People don’t want to bother cleaning silver. It needs to be washed by hand, polished regularly and stored properly in order to avoid tarnish, scratches and dents. It shouldn’t be put in the dishwasher with stainless steel or other metal flatware. Certain foods, rubber, felt, wool, oak and some types of paint will cause silver to tarnish. Silver flatware should be stored in special flannel bags or chests lined with tarnish-resistant flannel. Storing silver in plastic wrap or newspapers, or in cardboard boxes, causes it to discolor. Sterling silver has a “meltdown value,”

King Features Weekly Service
DEAR DR. ROACH: My wife is 69 and in very good health, exercising at least two hours a day. She has suffered from “knots in the back” for over 10 years. It is extremely painful, often bringing her to tears. It comes on suddenly at any time of the day or night, and lasts hours, days and occasionally weeks. She has been to several physicians, whose recommendations are to “live with it.” She has tried chiropractic, massage therapy, prescription and OTC painkillers, stretching and home massage, all to no avail. I cannot see the knots, but I can feel a tightness when I attempt to rub them out, which usually does nothing. A glass of wine is the only reliable relief, and it lasts only a few hours. Is there any recourse to this condition? — J.P. ANSWER: I am sure you and your wife must be frustrated. The fact that it comes on suddenly, can be felt as tightness and gets a bit better with alcohol makes me strongly suspect she is having muscle spasms. These most often come on in the legs and feet, but they can affect the back too. Two hours a day of exercising sounds like a lot, and she may be overexercising some muscles, while possibly not exercising others. This can lead to imbalances in muscle strength. Another common problem stemming from exercising is inadequate stretching. Stretching is the first place to start for many people with muscle cramps. A physical therapist or physiatrist may be of immense benefit, and your wife should explain in detail what her exercise regimen is. We are taught
January 13, 2020
Is Overexercise Cause of ‘Knots in the Back’?
to think carefully of the mechanism of injury, and I am concerned the exercise may be that injury. Abnormalities in electrolytes (blood salts, especially potassium, sodium, magnesium and phosphate) are only rarely the cause, although many people write me that they have been helped by taking one or more of these. Primary muscle diseases, side effects from medications and inadequate hydration are possible, but also unlikely. In absence of detailed knowledge about her exercise regimen, I’d recommend she try backing off a bit, maybe using ice after exercise, stretching the back under supervision and trying a hot bath or shower before bed. *** DEAR DR. ROACH: I am a 78-year-old who runs 15-20 miles per week, with prostate gland enlargement and reduced urinary frequency with occasional use of Advil. As a runner, I have been reluctant to make ibuprofen a daily regimen because I have read that inflammation is part of the body’s response to tissue damage, which is crucial to the healing process and is important for muscle growth. When ibuprofen’s anti-inflammatory effect reduces symptoms, does it affect the healing process also? Can you comment on the pros and cons for runners? — B.M. ANSWER: High-dose ibuprofen was shown to inhibit muscle protein synthesis following weightlifting exercise. This led to a suspicion that it might impair the gains in muscle strength that are made with exercise. However, a Canadian study showed that moderate doses of ibuprofen (400 mg after exercise) did not impair muscle growth or gains in strength. Using ibuprofen for occasional muscle soreness or for the purpose of reducing prostate inflammation should not adversely affect your performance in running. *** Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual questions, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible. Readers may email questions to ToYourGoodHealth@ med.cornell.edu.
• On Jan. 31, 1606, at Westminster in London, Guy Fawkes, a conspirator in the plot to blow up the British Parliament building, jumps to his death before his execution for treason. On Nov. 5, 1605, Fawkes had been found lurking in a cellar of Parliament with two tons of gunpowder. • On Feb. 1, 1781, the Articles of Confederation are finally ratified. The Articles had been signed by Congress and sent to the individual states on Nov. 15, 1777, but bickering between Virginia and Maryland delayed final ratification for almost four years. • On Feb. 2, 1887, Groundhog Day, featuring a rodent meteorologist, is celebrated for the first time at Gobbler’s Knob in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania. According to tradition, if a groundhog comes out of its hole on this day and sees its shadow, it gets scared and runs back into its burrow, predicting six more weeks of winter weather. • On Jan. 30, 1933, Adolf Hitler, leader of the National Socialist German Workers Party (or Nazi Party), is named chancellor (Fuehrer) of Germany. Hitler immediately ordered a rapid expansion of the state police, the Gestapo. • On Jan. 27, 1943, future President Ronald Reagan, an Army Air Corps first lieutenant during World War II, is on assignment with the Army’s First Motion Picture Unit. He had been tapped to star in a motion picture called “Air Force.” • On Jan. 28, 1964, the U.S. State Department angrily accuses the Soviet Union of shooting down an American jet that strayed into East German airspace, killing three U.S. officers aboard the plane. The Soviets said the flight was a “gross provocation.” • On Jan. 29, 1977, “Roots,” a groundbreaking television program, premieres on ABC. The eight-episode miniseries, which aired on consecutive nights, follows a family from West Africa through generations of slavery and the end of the Civil War. © 2020 Hearst Communications, Inc.

BUSINESSSpotlight CURBSIDE TEXTILE RECYCLING
Collecting clothes, shoes, handbags at your own doorstep
By Jennifer Coates
According to Melanie Flamand and Marjorie Muller, two business partners who researched and then cofounded Curbside Textile Recycling, homeowners in our state have a rare opportunity to meet a burgeoning worldwide need ~ a need for something as simple as recycled clothing. Melanie shares a startling statistic: 78% of the world is reliant upon donated clothing and only 14% of Americans actually recycle their unwanted clothing. With a supply/demand crisis at hand, these innovative thinkers believe Rhode Islanders can make a difference, beginning in their own homes (and closets)! Curbside Textile Recycling is a Warwickbased company which offers a unique service that has far-reaching implications. The program is simple and straightforward. First, a bright-yellow plastic bag is distributed to individual households throughout your city. These bags are then filled with the homeowner’s unwanted clothing, shoes, handbags and belts ~ whatever is cluttering up your closets! The bag is then put in a visible place on the resident’s property (NOT alongside your other recycling bins) where it is picked up, on the day of their normal weekly recycling

collection, by a two-person crew of drivers from Curbside. A replacement bag is left in its place. For the homeowner, the process is as simple as that. What happens next is equally as uncomplicated. The stuffed bags are then gathered, weighed and assembled at a trailer truck which will bring them to a final clearinghouse. Here they are graded, sorted and then distributed to recipients around the world. The reuse of these pounds of various textiles accomplishes many worthy purposes that go beyond meeting the unmet need for clothing, beginning with untold environmental benefits. These clothing items will now no longer end up in landfills where they remain for generations. Clothing items that are deemed unusable are shredded and recycled in the form of rags and other textile derivatives. For environmentally conscientious citizens, Curbside Textile Recycling is a win-win situation. Another benefit of recycled textiles is felt more locally. Collection bins that are seen so prolifically throughout our towns will see fewer piles of discarded items. No more hauling your unwanted clothing to the local corner bin. Your “work� ends at your doorstep, though the bags can also be brought to Curbside’s main headquarters on 55 Jefferson Boulevard. Finally, there is also a “giveback element� to the program that is very important to Flamand and Muller. Every six months, Curbside will select three local nonprofits to share a two-cent per pound “setaside�. Selected for the first round are the Warwick FOP, Friends of the Warwick Animal Shelter and the House of Hope – all causes that have personal meaning to Curbside’s directors.

A SPECIAL SUPPLEMENT TO
The Reminder
COLLECT CALL: From coins to sports cards, local experts share thoughts on collectibles market By JACOB MARROCCO Ed Helgran of Atwood Coin & Jewelry, at 1450 Atwood Ave., has a piece of advice for young people looking to take up a hobby. “You can buy a coin today that may 20 years from now be worth $100,000 because of its scarcity, which, you’ll never get that kind of return just [with bullion],” he said. “Coin collecting is a great hobby to get into as a kid, if you can get your kids into it because it’s an investment in their future.” Both Helgran and Steve Melucci, owner of Gold & Silver Jewelry Outlet at 1527 Post Road in Warwick, agreed that the gold and silver markets are doing well. Helgran did add, though, that he sees gold and silver jewelry as being a “terrible investment” because of their markups. He recommended becoming involved with certified gold coins and bullion. He said the market is trending more toward bullion, but coins have become the better investment. “More or less the biggest change in the past 40 years is, people don’t realize that collecting high-grade gold and silver coins are a much better investment in the long run than just plain bullion,” said Helgran, who has been in the business four decades. Melucci said the gold and silver markets are at six-year highs, and during the first week they spiked a month ago, the floor was flooded with people looking to take advantage. He said he used to be able to get U.S. $20 gold pieces for $200, but now they go for closer to $1,500. He’s familiar to the industry’s swings. Melucci has operated businesses on both coasts, tending to a shop in California before working his way to the Ocean State. He deals with collectible comic books and baseball cards, too, and the difference between selling a Mickey Mantle card for $50 or $300 is a small, key number. “Everything now is graded,” Melucci said. “You can’t get a top price without getting your pieces graded. Pokemon’s hot. It’s been hot for a long time. Any high-grade Marvel comics, Superman comics, the usual baseball [cards], the usual subjects like [Mickey] Mantle and any of those. [If ] they’re graded, they’re worth a lot of money, but if you get a Mantle card that’s graded like a four, which is a low grade, it’ll sell for $300 graded.” As for some of his pricier memorabilia, Melucci said he once had a 1933 Babe Ruth card worth $3,000. He also possesses a Bill Russell rookie card – which has yet to be graded – and once purchased a 1914 World Series pin. He said that baseball card collectors, for example, have become more like stock traders, waiting for the market to hit a high point. “They’re like guys buying stocks,” Melucci said. “They trade them back and forth when it goes up, whatever. It takes a lot of the fun out of it for being a collector, but that’s because I’m a collector/seller. If you’re just a collector, then you don’t worry about any of the prices or any graded things like that because you don’t need a grade-nine Mickey Mantle which costs thousands of dollars, because you don’t care. You’re not doing it to resell it.” Making the grade, so to speak, depends on which companies are trusted the most. Melucci said he deals with PSA, or Professional Sports Authenticator, regarding baseball cards, but said the process is expensive and takes at least a month to complete.

CASE AND POINT: Atwood Coin & Jewelry owner Gilbert Mendoza stands behind a case inside the business at 1450 Atwood Ave. in Johnston. Ed Helgran said if young people are looking for a hobby, they should get into collecting coins because of the potential payoff down the line.
Helgran said, in his business, the companies PCGS, or Professional Coin Grading Service, and NGC, or Numismatic Guaranty Corp., are the only “two companies that actually are worth their weight.” “When they say it’s this [grade], it’s this,” Helgran said. “There’s no arguing. So if you go to sell it, you now have something that’s certified by one of the two best companies, and their word is good.” Getting a good grade is more important than ever, too, because Melucci said every collectible has a lifespan. If they sit in a drawer or on a shelf collecting dust, without receiving that coveted seal of approval, they could miss their high point. “Collectibles are like people,” Melucci said. “Just like a person, you have your high point or as good as you can be, and then you’re on your way down. And I tell people that with baseball cards that aren’t graded, you need to sell some of those older guys now because in 20 years nobody will even know who they are. You’ll get nothing for them. Same thing with comic books, too, if they’re not graded.” Helgran said the future of the industry could be especially prosperous, but it depends on the economy and the dollar. If everything breaks right, gold could “skyrocket” and silver could double in price in the next five to 10 years. If anyone knows someone trying to get into the coin collecting business, though, Helgran said he could offer some advice. “Stop down and talk to me, because there’s just so much to know about it,” Helgran said. “Start with what you can afford to just put away in the bank, and when you do buy high-grade, you want to get certified coins.”
