King Features Weekly Service

• Add a cinnamon stick or softener sheet to your vacuum bag when you change it. As you clean, you will distribute the good smell throughout your home.

• To ripen a green tomato, wrap it in a sheet of newspaper or place it in a paper bag. It can then be left on the counter for several days to ripen.

• “Need to remove fruit or food coloring stains on your hands or your countertop? White vinegar will clean it off. It’s good for so many things.” — R.N. in Washington • “Instead of baking soda, I use three or four charcoal briquettes in a bowl to control odor and moisture in my refrigerator. I place the briquettes in a shallow dish, then cover the top of the bowl with a small piece of cheesecloth and secure it with a fat rubber band. The best thing is that I can still use these briquettes on the grill. In the summer, they get changed very regularly.” — M.L. in Virginia • Great ways to remove stuck labels: nail polish remover (NOT for use on plastics), WD-40 oil, soaking in hot water, rubbing alcohol.

• Have a stained coffee pot, but don’t want to use a harsh chemical cleanser to scrub that stain off? For gritty cleaning power, try using a tablespoon of milk and a tablespoon of salt. The salt gives you scrubbing power, and the milk’s acids help gently dissolve the stains.

Prayer to the

BLESSED VIRGIN

(Never known to fail). O Most Beautiful Flower of Mt. Carmel, Fruitful Vine, Splendor of Heaven, Blessed Mother of the Son of God, Immaculate Virgin, assist me in my necessity. O Star of the sea, help me and show me here in, you are my mother. O Holy Mary, Mother of God, Queen of Heaven and Earth, I humbly beseech you from the bottom of my heart to succor me in my necessity (make request). There are none that can withstand your power.

O Mary conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee (3 times.) Holy Mary, I place this cause in your hands (3 times). Say this prayer for three consecutive days. You must publish it and it will be granted to you.

Grateful Thanks.

SAY YOU SAW IT IN THE REMINDER

You can help feed your neighbor, and make us all healthier.

The Rhode Island Food Bank reports that one in four Rhode Island families is hungry – the highest level of food insecurity in nearly a century. Yet at the same time, our state has the 11th highest rate of child obesity in the nation. It doesn’t seem possible. Our kids don’t have access to healthy foods, and what they do have isn’t exactly good for them.

But you can do something about it.

A tax on unhealthy sugary drinks like the one currently proposed in the general assembly would inject over $30 million into our economy and help alleviate hunger for more than 140,000 SNAP recipients, including over 45,000 children across our state.

The time to bring this bill to a vote is now.

'Pizza Puzzle' Helps Get Chores Done Sometimes little ones get overwhelmed when confronted with a big job — like picking up a messy room.

It may seem easy enough to adults, but to them, well, where do they begin? It's easier when the tasks are broken up into

Coventry: New Listing!! Wood Estates North, 4 bed, 2.5 bath colonial, granite kitchen, FP, 2 car garage, $484,900 West Warwick: New Listing!! 5 room ranch, 2 bedrooms, beautiful lot, over half acre, quiet setting, outbuilding, $249,900 Barrington: Waterview, 5 bed, 3 full bath renovated colonial, granite/SS kitchen, garage, part finished lower, $649,900 West Greenwich: 3-4 bed raised ranch, 3 baths, updated heat/roof, finished lower, wood stove, 2 car garage, 3 acres, $449,995

chunks, and that's what this activity is all about. Get a job done, but in slices, using this simple pizza puzzle game.

Here's the crafting fun:

1. Take a large plate, preferably 15 inches in diameter, turn it upside down on a piece of poster board or a craft foam sheet, and trace around it. Cut out the circle. Divide the circle into three pieces like pizza slices, and cut them out.

2. Get your child thinking about pizza toppings and then begin to cut out the basic food shapes together from

Here's how the game works:

Watch your child speed into his room to get started! "Mom, my shoes are in the closet!" he might say as he completes the task. He'll run into the kitchen to place slice No. 1 on a magnetic bulletin board or refrigerator door.

He'll run back to his room. "Mom, my clothes are in the hamper!" Up goes slice No. 2. "Mom! I put all my books in the basket!" Before you know it, all three pieces of his chore will be done, and an entire yummy pizza will be decorating your kitchen.

Of course, by the time he's finished, he might decide he's hungry for a slice of pizza. I'd hand him the real thing, though.

Extra tip: As your child grows, make an incentive with a few more pieces using a variety of themes. For example, use white poster board and make five snowballs for a snowman, or brown poster board for a chocolate cake. Surprise him with a special reward occasionally when there's a significant chore to be tackled.

construction paper or craft foam. You might decide on red pepperoni circles, green pepper squiggles and tan mushroom slices. Glue them onto the slices.

3. Cut out the numbers 1, 2 and 3 from construction paper or craft foam, and glue one on each slice. While you are doing this, decide what part of the chore each number will represent. For example, when cleaning a bedroom, the tasks might be put (1) shoes in the closet, (2) clothes in the hamper and (3) books in the basket.

4. Glue a small magnet to the back of each slice. Let dry.

Preparing for a Financial Emergency 5 tips for building (or rebuilding) your emergency savings

providers to see if they can provide the same or better offerings at a reduced cost. Sometimes returning to your current provider with a more competitive rate from elsewhere can be extra incentive to work out a deal to keep a longtime customer.

Also look at any subscription services you use, or potentially don’t but still pay for, and see if they offer a cheaper plan that still meets your needs or if you’re able to cancel subscriptions you no longer use frequently.

Other expenses such as dining out or buying new clothing and accessories could also be scaled back if you find you’re splurging too much. Avoid completely cutting spending for leisure activities from your budget but look for reasonable tweaks that can allow you to set more money aside for unforeseen expenses.

FAMILY FEATURES

T

he new year provides an opportunity to re-evaluate different aspects of your life, and that includes your budget and savings habits.

Planning for emergencies by building – or rebuilding if the COVID-19 pandemic required making a withdrawal – a savings account to withstand the unforeseen can increase confidence in your overall financial health and reduce worry that a significant life event will negatively impact your finances.

“Our research shows having emergency savings is the foundation for long-term financial health,” said Chandni Ohri, program lead in savings and financial health with BlackRock’s Emergency Savings Initiative.

“The start of a new year is a good time to make a savings plan, which can consist of putting a little bit of money away regularly.”

Even before the pandemic began, 4 out of 10 Americans had a hard time finding even $400 to cover an emergency, according to a report from the United States Federal Reserve. However, if you don’t think you have money to save, consider the majority of people who were able to save for an emergency for the first time in 2020 earned less than $60,000, according to research from BlackRock’s Emergency Savings Initiative, a group of nonprofit experts, corporate partners, and providers. Changes in spending due to the pandemic plus government stimulus packages helped many individuals create much-needed cash buffers.

Consider these tips to build your emergency savings account and create a buffer of cash for when emergency strikes.

Start a Savings Habit While it’s less important to have a specific dollar amount in mind, getting into the habit of putting some money in savings with each paycheck can help protect you should an emergency arise. While one good rule of thumb is to set aside enough to cover roughly six weeks of living expenses – housing, food, transportation – take a look at what it would cost to cover unexpected issues with your car, a trip to the hospital, a leak in your home or the replacement of a major appliance and start there.

Even a small amount, such as $50 in your savings account when it’s the day before payday and you’re running on fumes, can save you from an overdraft fee, having to resort to using a credit card, borrowing from a loved one or taking out a loan. However, research from the AARP Public Policy Institute found having a cash buffer of approximately $2,500 can help prevent financial hardship over the longer term. If you lose

your job, for example, your emergency account could help pay for necessities while you find a new position, or the funds could supplement any unemployment benefits you may receive.

Automate Your Savings Because an emergency can strike at any time, it’s important to have easy access to your funds.

However, the account should also be separate from your checking account so you’re not tempted to dip into your reserves. Pick a free savings account with no minimum balance requirements and link it to your everyday account to quickly move money over if you need it.

Look for ways you can automatically save such as enabling roundups from your checking account to be transferred to your savings with each purchase or having your employer split your paycheck and automatically deposit a portion into savings each payday.

If you’re planning to stash funds away for months or years that can serve as both an emergency fund and long-term savings, consider a high-yield savings account.

Look for Ways to Cut Back While you may have already made changes to your spending habits amid the pandemic, periodically shopping for competitive rates of recurring bills, such as cable and internet, cell phones insurance policies and other utilities, can be a simple way to save some money each month. Start by asking your current providers about any special rates and promotions that may be available to loyal customers then check with alternative

Take Advantage of One-Time Opportunities to Save

Assuming you expect to receive a tax refund, this provides an easy way to boost your emergency fund if circumstances allow you to save all or a portion of the return. If you’re able, consider having your refund directly deposited in your emergency account. The same strategies can be applied to any government aid checks you may receive, such as a second round of stimulus money that could be distributed to eligible citizens in 2021 to help reinvigorate the economy amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

There may also be other times throughout the year when you receive one or more cash gifts, like your birthday or holidays, that can help provide a nice cushion to your emergency fund if you can avoid the temptation to spend it.

Replenish What You Use

Remember to review and adjust your savings plan as needed, whether you’re able to contribute over a longer period of time without dipping into the account or if an expensive life event pops up that requires using all or a portion of the funds.

Should you need to dip into the savings, do your best to make replenishing the account to a level you’re comfortable with a primary goal in case any additional unexpected expenses arise. Alternatively, if your saving is going well, consider increasing the amount you’re saving each paycheck so you’re better protected against any major life changes or able to finance a large-scale purchase down the road.

Massey’s TOP 10 Things To Consider When Preparing for Retirement Create An Income Strategy.

Jeffrey H. Massey Certified Financial Planner™ Massey and Associates

Get An Early Start.

Ideally, you should start planning for your retirement income as soon you get your first job and reap the full benefits of compounding growth. Unfortunately, this is rarely the reality. If you’ve reached your 50’s and haven’t actively started planning for your retirement yet, don’t be deterred. Take action now and start making up for lost time. Everyone can save up to $19,500 into their 401k (or other retirement plan) at work. Those age 50 or better can use the “catch-up” contributions of $6,500 per year going into their retirement plan at work. To clarify, as long as your 50th birthday is December 31st or earlier, you can start contributing the extra $6,500 per year beginning in your first paycheck for January of the year you will have your 50th birthday.

You do not have to wait until your 50th birthday to start the “catch-up” contributions. If you don’t’ have a retirement plan at work, you can contribute up to $6,000 of earnings into either a traditional IRA or a Roth IRA. Individual Retirement Arrangements (IRAs) also offer a “catch-up” amount of $1,000 for those that become age 50 during the calendar year.

Define Your Cash Flow.

If you haven’t already developed a budget for yourself, do it now. Determining your cash flow is your first step. Understanding your spending patterns will help you know how much income you’ll need once you’re in retirement.

Spend Less Than You Earn.

For some, this is a tough one, but still very necessary. The bottom line is you cannot expect to have money left over for retirement if you are currently spending more than you take in. Create a budget and stick to it.

Understand All Of Your Options.

Research, research, research. There are many different ways to save for retirement, and you’ll want to understand the pros and cons of the various strategies, insurance products and investment vehicles before deciding which to implement.

Every choice has pro and con issues, determine what might be best for you.

Calculate The Risks.

It’s not a bad thing to invest in the stock market. However, you may not want to put all your eggs in that basket.

Know the risks associated with investing and understand what your timeframe may be to recoup any losses before you commit to anything. The fact is, as you near retirement, you have a much shorter timeframe to recover from potential market downturns. Taking too much risk may not be right for you.

A retirement strategy has two phases – the accumulation phase, in which you build assets to help fund your retirement, and the distribution phase, in which you use those assets to generate income in retirement. Don’t ignore Phase Two!

Have A Tax-Efficient Strategy.

You’ll want to make sure you’re taking advantage of all your legal options to help you lower your taxes as much as possible, both while saving for retirement and once you start taking retirement distributions. Working with both a financial professional and tax advisor can help you understand your options.

Acknowledge Inflation.

A retirement income plan that does not account for inflation could cause you to adjust your lifestyle in retirement. Make sure your retirement income plan addresses the impact of inflation on your retirement assets. Items will cost more in the future, so, take that into account within your plan.

Plan For A Long Life.

Given advances in medical care and a trend toward healthier lifestyles, it’s not uncommon for people to live another 20, 30 or even 40 years once they’ve retired.

That’s great, but it also means your money needs to last longer, too.

Last But Not Least – Recognize You Might Want Help With All Of The Above.

Our business is understanding the important things to consider when planning for retirement, as well as the products and strategies that can help you pursue your goals. We want to help you live the life you dream of, and it all starts with having a strategy. We encourage you to seek out experienced, retirement focused, Certified Financial Planner™ professionals to build your strategy for a successful retirement!

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration predicts another surging storm season for 2021, with a whopping 13-20 named storms and three to five major hurricanes in the Gulf and Atlantic. The hurricane season started officially on June 1, although we’ve already had a named storm in the Atlantic in May. Are you making preparations?

Along with medicines, canned food, water and flashlights for that inevitable power failure, grab some DVDs to prepare for an internet outage. Need some inspiration? How about 2012’s “Alien Tornado” — featuring electrical windstorms and an unusual group of heroes that includes a farmer and a blogger? Or 2010’s “Burning Bright,” in which a girl and her autistic brother are trapped in their house during a hurricane — with a man-eating tiger that was purchased by their no-good dad! Here are some more mainstream choices: Crawl (R) — Haley (Kay Scodelario) is a small-town Florida girl sitting in the track of a monster hurricane. Under evacuation orders, she find her dad trapped in the crawlspace of his home.

Injured and vulnerable, the rising waters threaten their lives — but that’s not even the worst thing. There, in the brackish maelstrom, lurk giant alligators.

The Perfect Storm (PG-13) — A tropical storm meets cold front, creating 100-foot waves that pound a fishing boat in the North Atlantic in this terrifying true tale of the Andrea Gail, starring George Clooney and Mark Wahlberg.

Sharknado through “The Last Sharknado: It’s About Time” (NR) — Whether you indoctrinate with the

original, featuring the City of Angels under siege, or skip with to the sixth and final installment, relax with hero Ian Ziering as Fin Shepard. This tragedy of cheese keeps giving and giving.

Adrift (PG-13) — Shailene Woodley and Sam Claflin star in a tale of disaster, resilience and romance on the (literally) high seas. In the path of their yacht sailing from Tahiti to San Diego, a category 5 hurricane develops, which they miraculously survive.

Against all odds and adrift in the middle of nowhere, they must survive. It’s inspirational nightmare that is based on a true story.

The Asylum/Syfy Films

Ian Ziering in “Sharknado 4” Hours (PG-13) — Paul Walker plays Nolan, a young father whose wife gives birth to a baby girl just hours before Hurricane Katrina hits New Orleans. The mother dies, the baby is struggling and requires a ventilator as the hospital loses power and staff. Nolan is left alone to fend for his child, keeping her alive by hook or crook. It’s surprisingly poignant for a thriller, with Nolan overcoming an endless string of adversities.

Geostorm (PG-13) — A series of natural disasters prompt scientists to develop a satellite protection system that basically shuts down bad weather. But things go haywire, as they sometimes do, and satellite designer Jake Lawson (Gerard Butler) is sent through the back door of the space station to figure out what’s what. © 2021 King Features Synd., Inc.

King Features Weekly Service

May 31, 2021

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Lots of possibilities begin to open up by midweek. Some seem more appealing than others. But wait for more facts to emerge later on before you consider which to choose.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Bravo to the determined Bovine. While others might give up, you continue to search for answers. Expect your Taurean tenacity to begin paying off by week’s end.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You might want to consider stepping back from the task at hand for a while. This could help you get a better perspective on what you’ve done and what still needs to be done.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Your keen Cancerian insight should help you determine whether a new offer is solid or just more fluff ‘n’ stuff. The clues are all there, waiting for you to find them.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) Being ignored is difficult for any proud Leo or Leona. But pushing yourself back into the spotlight might be unwise.

Instead, let things work themselves out at their own pace.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Trying to uncover a colleague’s secret under the pretext of showing concern is ill-advised. Control your curiosity in order to avoid raising resentment in the workplace.

New vendors always welcome.

Shop local and enjoy a wide variety of products!

Children, ages 2 to 13, can register for Summer Reading, Tails & Tales, and receive their Summer Reading packet. Then the magic show begins!

Children of all ages will enjoy the magic of Tommy James, winner of KIDABRA International Performer of the year! Be sure to sign up for the show.

Southern New England’s Top Instructional Basketball Camp for Boys & Girls Camp Director: Coach Jamal Gomes – besthoopspremierbasketball@gmail.com

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Expect to hear good news about a loved one. Also, be prepared for some changes in several family relationships that could develop from this lucky turn of events.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Some surprises are expected to accompany a number of changes that will continue through part of next week. At least one could involve a romantic situation.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) You might be upset by some of your critics. But most of your associates continue to have faith in your ability to get the job done, and done well.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) A workplace goal that suddenly seems out of reach is no problem for the sure-footed Goat, who moves steadily forward despite any obstacles placed in his or her way.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Uncertainty about who is right and who isn’t might keep you from making a clear-cut decision.

Wait until you know more about what you’re being asked to decide.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Be careful to keep your emotions in check when dealing with a demanding personal situation. You need to set an example of strength for others to follow.

BORN THIS WEEK: You have an extraordinary ability to rally people to do their best. You would be a treasure as a teacher.
