5. Name the song that contains this lyric: “This is the moment I’ve waited for, I can hear my heart singing, Soon bells will be ringing.”

Answers 1. Supertramp, in 1977. It first appeared on their “Even in the Quietest Moments ...” album and was later released as a single.

2. Pat Benatar, in 1984. The song netted Benatar a Grammy for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance, her fourth. The Grammys no longer separate by gender in this category.

By Lucie Winborne • Agree with those diehard fans of Pluto who still insist it’s a planet?

So does New Mexico. Its legislature resolved that Pluto is still legally a planet ... at least whenever it passes over the state.

• During a time of political turmoil, Michelangelo hid in a secret room under Florence’s Medici Chapel for three months, passing the time by sketching on the walls. His secret wasn’t discovered until some five centuries later, when the museum director stumbled upon the room in 1976.

• Honorary members of the Harlem Globetrotters include Pope John Paul II and Pope Francis.

• The Rhizanthella gardneri orchid, which grows entirely underground, was discovered by an Australian farmer in 1928 and generated such excitement that a wax model of it toured the British Isles.

• A hen will eat her own raw eggs if not satisfied with her diet.

• The Mexican language Ayapaneco, or, more properly, Nuumte Oote (“the true voice”), is dying out, and small wonder: Its only fluent speakers number a grand total of two, and they refuse to talk to each other!

• A paired kidney exchange allows people to donate their kidney that wasn’t a match for an intended recipient to a stranger in exchange for a kidney that is a match for their loved one.

• In 2010 a San Diego Chipotle customer in a wheelchair successfully sued the restaurant chain with the claim that their tall order counter denied him the full “Chipotle experience” — like watching his order being assembled.

• Sand is the most extracted material in the world.

• Actor Joe Pesci was a singer and guitar player in his early 20s and once played in the same band (called Joey Dee and the Starliters) as Jimi Hendrix. *** Thought for the Day: “Change your thoughts and you change your world.”

Bridgerton (TV-MA) — After garnering great success in its 2020 debut, the romance-filled period drama series begins its second season on Netflix.

While many fans of “Bridgerton” lamented the loss of Rege-Jean Page, who portrayed the Duke of Hastings, the show doesn’t seem to be losing any of the steaminess that made the first season so enticing. Season two will mainly focus on a heart-wrenching love triangle involving the Viscount Anthony Bridgerton (Jonathan Bailey) as he finally plans to wed, as well as the introduction of two new characters — the Sharma sisters. With last season’s major reveal of the face behind Lady Whistledown’s newsletters, viewers are now able to tag along with the anonymous columnist as even more gossip and scandal gets revealed.

Premieres March 25. (Netflix) Deep Water (R) — Vic and Melinda Van Allen (Ben Affleck and Ana de Armas) aren’t exactly your average married couple. They have somewhat of an understanding in their marriage, where Melinda can have as many lovers as she wants on the side as long as she doesn’t desert Vic or their family.

But it’s as if Melinda almost morphs into a different person when she’s not with her husband, catching their friends quite off guard as she flaunts other relationships in Vic’s face. This arrangement inevitably takes a turn for the worse as one of Melinda’s lovers ends up dead. Is Vic behind the death, or did Melinda’s games just go a little too far? (Hulu) Starstruck (TV-MA) — In what

can be described as a fanfiction come to life, “Starstruck” follows New Zealander Jessie, who finds out that her New Year’s Eve fling, Tom, is actually an A-list movie star. Jessie, who mostly works odd jobs in London, could be considered the opposite of someone a movie star would date (and boy, does she hear it time and time again). However, Jessie and Tom can’t help but grow closer, and she makes the decision to stay in London for him instead of returning to New Zealand. Season two premieres March 25. (HBO Max)

Jonathan Bailey in “Bridgerton” WeCrashed (TV-MA) — If you haven’t yet learned the story behind the commercial real estate company WeWork, you’re in for a treat with this new miniseries. Based on a podcast of the same name, “WeCrashed” tells the story of how Adam Neumann, his wife, Rebekah, and Miguel McKelvey team up to create a first-of-its-kind office experience called WeWork. The startup’s main goal is to sell workspaces to other companies, but WeWork’s success skyrockets it in a way no one could have predicted, as do its founders, their greed and their consequences. Academy Award winners Jared Leto and Anne Hathaway star as the eerily obsessive couple, with America Ferrera and Kyle Marvin making up the rest of the main cast.

Follow us on Facebook @AcuityVisionandEyewearCenter and Instagram @acuityvisionri for updates and more information LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) An unusual request could put you in an awkward position. Best advice: Deal with it immediately. The longer you delay, the more difficult it will be to get out of it.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) You should feel recharged and ready for whatever your workaday world holds for you. The same positive energy spills over into your personal relationships.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) A prospect might be less than it appears to be. Like the Archer in your sign, you always aim for the truth. And this is no time to settle for less than full disclosure.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Start doing some serious thinking about a career move that could entail more than just changing job sites. Some lifestyle changes also might be involved.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) With tensions easing at the workplace, a more positive environment once again encourages the free flow of ideas so typical of the always-innovative Aquarian.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Show some of that usually hidden steel-strong Piscean backbone, and stand up for yourself if you hope to make a case for that promotion you know you deserve.

BORN THIS WEEK: You enjoy doing new things and staying ahead of the crowd. You would make a fine sports coach or military leader. © 2022 King Features Synd., Inc.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Be careful about doing someone a favor when you don’t know the full story behind the request. Don’t rely on someone’s unsubstantiated assurances.

Insist on all the facts before you act.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) That workplace problem still needs your attention before you finally can close the book on it. Meanwhile, a long-anticipated reunion gets closer to becoming a happy reality.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You might be demanding more from others than they can give. Best advice: Have a long and frank talk to determine what the facts are. Tensions should abate as the week winds down.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Aspects are favorable throughout this week for making contacts that could be important to your career plans.

Meanwhile, an old friend offers the advice you’re seeking.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) It’s time to stop licking your wounds from past mistakes. Get up and get going toward your future. Loyal friends will be there to help the Lion get back into rip-roaring shape.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Take time out to go over what’s expected of you before you begin your new project. Otherwise, you run the risk of pushing yourself harder than you need to.

THE REMINDER

Q:

I finally got caught up on “Ted Lasso” and now understand what all the hype was about. When will the third season air? — G.M. Filming has already begun for the third season of the No. 1 series on Apple+, “Ted Lasso,” but don’t expect to see it until late summer or fall of 2022. The second season took a bit of a darker turn but was still filled with laughs and inspirational quotes by Lasso, played by “Saturday Night Live” alum Jason Sudeikis.

“Ted Lasso” was a much-needed hit for the struggling Apple streaming service. It also was a critical success, becoming the most nominated new series in the history of the Emmy Awards. It’s made stars out of the British cast, including Hannah Waddingham as Rebecca Welton, the pro soccer team’s owner, and Brett Goldstein as retired star player Roy Kent.

Sudeikis first played the lovable coach during a promo for NBC aimed at promoting viewership of its English Premier League soccer audience. It worked. The promos went viral, and years later he teamed up with creative partners Joe Kelly and Brendan Hunt, the latter of whom plays Coach Beard on the show, and came up with a pilot.

With the help of experienced producer Bill Lawrence (“Scrubs”), they developed the series into the hit that it is today. *** Whatever happened to Geena Davis? I haven’t seen her in anything in a long time, and she used to be a big movie star. — S.H. If you look at Geena Davis’s resume, you might be surprised to learn that she’s accumulated quite a list of roles in the past two decades.

At the height of her career in the late 1980s to early 1990s, she won an Oscar for “The Accidental Tourist” and was nominated for one for “Thelma and Louise.” She also starred in the below-mentioned film “Beetlejuice.”

She later tried her hand at network television with “The Geena Davis Show” and “Commander in Chief,” both of which were soon canceled. She then recurred on “Grey’s Anatomy” as

Jason Sudeikis in “Ted Lasso” Dr. Nicole Herman and then as Sandy Devereaux on Netflix’s “GLOW.” Next up for Davis is a new untitled legal drama on CBS. *** Is it true that they are making sequel to “Beetlejuice”? Will Tim Burton direct it? — B.C. Yes, it was recently announced that “Beetlejuice 2” is happening. A sequel has been rumored for decades since the original graced movie theaters in 1988. Brad Pitt’s production company Plan B Entertainment has signed on to make the sequel a reality with original stars Michael Keaton and Winona Ryder. Hopefully Pitt’s vision includes Tim Burton as director, but nothing official has been announced about that important detail.

The tale of “Beetlejuice” met Broadway in the form of a musical in 2019 but had to shut its doors during the pandemic. It’s returning with a new production in April 2022 at the Marquis Theatre in New York.

Events that bring residents of a community together in one place have been on the back burner in recent years.

As the world has dealt with the COVID-19 pandemic, communities have scaled back on public events in the hopes of limiting crowds and preventing the spread of the virus. Since 2021, such restrictions have been loosened, especially in spring and summer, as more people get vaccinated and scientists learn more about the virus, including how it’s transmitted in outdoor settings compared to indoor settings.

The return of spring and summer mark a great time for local leaders to add more events to their community calendars. The following are some fun event ideas that can help communities reconnect in the months to come.

• Crafts festival: The digital advertising agency NMPi noted in a report titled “Impact of COVID-19 on Arts & Crafts Retail” that the rise in pandemic-related self-isolation led to an increased demand for arts-andcrafts. As the world emerges from the pandemic, community leaders can provide residents an opportunity to showcase their newfound talents by hosting a crafts festival. Invite established professionals to showcase and sell their wares and encourage local hobbyists to do the same. This is a great way to promote local businesses and connect residents with neighbors who love to spend time working on arts and crafts.

• Concert series: Summer concert series are fun and potentially lucrative for local businesses. A 2016 analysis of a popular local concert series in northern New York State determined that a summer concert series sponsored by the Disabled Persons Action Organization allowed more than $1.6 million to flow through local economies. That’s welcome news for local busi-

nesses that have been hit hard by the pandemic, and it’s also welcome news for leaders who want to rebuild a sense of community in their towns and cities. Families and local residents can enjoy live music and take pride knowing that each ice cream cone, hot dog or cold beverage they buy at a concert is helping local businesses rebound from a tough stretch.

• Farmers market: Another way to promote local businesses and public health is to host weekly farmers markets. Buying locally grown foods greatly reduces food miles, a term that refers to the distance food travels before it reaches grocery stores. Reduced food miles means less fuel consumption and reduced air pollution, both of which benefit the environment and human health. But farmers markets do more than that, as they provide access to healthy foods to individuals who might otherwise be unable to find fresh fruits and vegetables. And farmers markets support local farmers and growers, reassuring consumers that their hard earned money is going back into their own communities.

Local events like crafts festivals, concert series and farmers markets are a fun and effective way to foster a strong sense of community in towns and cities.

By Jennifer Coates Spring has finally arrived in New England and homeowners everywhere are surveying the fall-out from a long winter spent indoors. West Warwick resident Claire Pickett BEFORE AFTER has stepped back to take in her family’s well-used kitchen. Though by first glance the space looked orderly, upon closer examination, the room’s dirty truths began to reveal themselves. Fingerprints on every surface. Streaks of yogurt from her toddler’s breakfast still glued on the wall.

Muddy footprints from a slight winter thaw tracked across the floor. Balls of dust have gathered under the corner table like tumbleweeds in the desert. Literally every corner of this kitchen needs a deep cleaning, and Claire hasn’t even ventured to the bathrooms, bedrooms, or other common spaces of her house yet.

Claire has a problem, like so many other homeowners across the state. Every day, she must tackle the mundane and seemingly never-ending tasks of cleaning her house.

Dirt is inevitable. Mess is unavoidable. Dust is inescapable.

Dinge is everywhere.

longer, and availability is year-round.

Plus, you must factor in your time.

Many items are prewashed, pre-cut and ready to cook.

Here are the best bargains in the frozen-food section: Fruits — Peak season for most fruit is fleeting. They're fragile in transport, then go bad quickly when you get them home. You can skip all that with frozen fruit, which can be used in smoothies, cobblers, muffins and more. Peaches stay summertime fresh, cherries and berries are available year-round, and mangos are cut and ready to eat.

Life moves fast, and frozen foods have become indispensable for preparing healthy, quick and easy meals. It's possible to equate "quick and easy" with "bad for you" in the freezer aisle because there are many unhealthy options there.

But as with all foods, use your common sense and read the nutrition labels, and you'll find healthy, nutritious food.

To be clear: I'm advocating for buying frozen ingredients to make meals rather than processed, ready-to-heat-and-eat meals in boxes. But I don't www.JasonCoblentz.com judge, I always have a froBerries on ice at a very nice price. zen lasagna stashed in case of emergency.

be healthier, too. For instance, fresh corn is often genetically modified, while many frozen varieties are nonGMO certified. But skip the veggies with sauce or cheese, as they're highly processed and loaded with calories.

Juice concentrates — Look at your carton of orange juice or lemonade; it probably says "from concentrate." Just buy that concentrate frozen for a fraction of the cost, mix it with water and you have the same thing, just cheaper!

Puff pastry — Here's the secret to a frugal and fabulous gourmet dessert anytime. Puff pastry takes expertise and hours to make, but the frozen stuff bakes up beautifully and makes you look like a rock star. Use it to make flaky tarts, turnovers or fancy desserts.

Puff pastry also is great for savory dishes like hors d'oeuvres, cheese puffs or topping a chicken pot pie.

Potato products — The king of side dishes, frozen potatoes are a versatile, quick and easy way to add a wholesome foundation to so many meals. While fresh potatoes are even less expensive than frozen, turning them into dishes like hash browns and French fries is time-consuming. Fries make a sandwich into a meal, and hash browns make breakfast a special occasion. Why make tater tots from scratch when they're so inexpensive to buy?

So, let's chill out while we enjoy the convenience and savings of frozen food. *** Lifestyle expert Patti Diamond is the penny-pinching, party-planning, recipe developer and content creator of the website "Divas On A Dime — Where Frugal, Meets Fabulous!"

Canning Jar Bottle collecting has been an important pastime since the end of the 19th century, when the first bottle seekers dug up examples in old privy pits, the town dump or a rocky seacoast area.

Most sought after were historic flasks made in New England glassworks.

As flasks got more expensive, collectors searched for other bottles — bitters, inks, mineral water, pickle, snuff, whiskey, wine, food storage and canning jars, and commercial perfume bottles. The first machine-made bottles were made in 1905. By 1920, most bottles were being made by automatic machines, including modern product bottles like those for Coca-Cola and Avon. Each of these specialties attracted not only collectors but also researchers, writers and clubs.

This very light-blue canning jar with a lid is easy to identify even though it is rare. Like most, it has a name in raised glass that is formed in the mold. It says “Gilberds Improved Jar” around a five-point star. On the bottom are the words “Patd Jan 30, 1883 / Jamestown, N.Y.” It probably was made by the Findley Ohio Bottle Co. (18881893) for the Gilberd’s Butter Tub Co. of Jamestown, New York. It sold at a Glass Works auction for $188.

This type of jar was used over and over by a housewife making pickles or canned vegetables or fruit. Almost all food was homemade, cooked in season, and stored for the winter. *** Do you know of a school that teaches about antiques, etc.?

I’ve collected and loved older items since I was 14, when I got my first computer. Since then, I’ve researched and talked to many people trying to learn about antiques. Is there a place that can help me learn where to find information about identifying real items, signatures, marks, etc.?

Check schools and colleges near you to see if they offer adult education courses on antiques. Go to antiques shows so you can learn to recognize important makers. Talk to the dealers. They are often very helpful.

Keep asking questions. You’ll find lots

LEAVITT’S TREE SERVICE

Homeowners choose plants for their properties based on a number of variables. Some may be into growing their own foods, while others desire their gardens to be an awe-inspiring mélange of bright colors and alluring scents. There’s no wrong reason to plant a fresh garden, but some plants offer extra benefits, such as repelling insects.

Insects can be a nuisance and a threat to individuals’ overall health. According to the American Academy of Family Physicians, insect-borne diseases are viral and bacterial illnesses that develop from insect bites. Mosquitoes, sand flies and fleas are some examples of insects that can pass on disease. Fever, chills, headache, and muscle soreness are just a few of the more common symptoms linked to insect-borne diseases.

The good news for avid gardeners is that certain plants can help repel insects and provide the additional benefits like fresh food and aesthetic appeal that so many people love.

• Basil: The aroma of fresh basil is enough to compel any gardener to make a place for it in their garden. But there’s more to fresh basil than its scent, as the Farmers Almanac notes it can be used to repel mosquitoes and moths.

• Lavender: Fleas, flies, mosquitoes, and moths are not fans of this aromatic and colorful member of the mint family. Bees tend to be drawn to lavender, a durable plant that many garden centers recommend in areas prone to drought or hot summers without much precipitation.

• Mint: Mint is another plant that is instantly recognizable for its aroma. But mint lovers may not realize that it’s also great for keeping ants at bay. Mint also can be used to repel mosquitoes, but gar-

deners with no experience planting mint should plant it in pots. That’s because the Farmers Almanac notes mint is an especially aggressive spreader that can quickly take over a garden. Separating mint in pots can prevent it from bullying its way into other plants’ domains.

• Lemongrass: Lemongrass is a tropical grass that’s so fragrant it’s often used in perfumes. Lemongrass contains citronella, which many people associate with repelling mosquitoes. A potted lemongrass plant can repel these unwanted guests, keeping them away from decks, porches and/or patios all summer long.

• Chrysanthemums: The Farmers’ Almanac® recommends using chrysanthemums, which repel a range of insects from bedbugs to fleas to ants, as border plants around a home. That’s because they contain the natural insecticide pyrethrin, which can serve as something of an insect-repelling boundary around a home.

Insects are unwanted guests around a home each spring, summer and fall. Certain plants can help repel insects and serve as an eco-friendly alternative to insecticides.

Tech to make gardening more fun Many people take to the great outdoors to escape the increasingly tech-driven daily grind. Though that’s an understandable perspective, gardeners who aren’t deploying tech in their home gardens could be missing out on a host of benefits that could help their plants, flowers and vegetables thrive.

Devices like smartphones and tablets have made many aspects of life easier and more efficient, and various tech products can do the same when working in the garden.

• Plant monitor: Plant monitors are sensors that can keep tabs on the health of plants and deliver that information to gardeners. Plant monitors often connect to smartphones via Bluetooth and can deliver information on the amount of heat, light and water a plant is getting. Sensors vary in price, and some will provide more information than others. But these sensors are ideal for gardeners who love their plants but often forget to check up on them each day.

• Garden camera: Critters and insects are the bane of many gardeners’ existence. Determining just what is nibbling away at flowers and plants isn’t always so easy, as many animals are savvy enough to restrict their dining to the middle of the night and insects are so small they can be hard to spot. Garden cameras can serve as the watchmen of a garden and gardeners can review footage to determine just who is compromising all of their hard work. They can then use that knowledge to remedy the situation and give their plants a better chance to thrive.

• Weather station: Even the most seasoned gardeners cannot document the conditions outside as effectively as a good weather sensor.

Weather sensors track conditions such as temperature, relative humidity and air quality. This information can then be paired with irrigation devices to ensure plants get all the care they need to thrive throughout the season.

• Garden hub: Avid gardeners have traditionally had to arrange for neighbors or loved ones to tend to their plants when they leave home for vacation or weekend getaways.

Garden hubs can take care of that by pairing with smart irrigation systems that ensure plants are watered even when no one is home. Certain hubs even gather and analyze local weather conditions to develop a watering schedule to ensure plants thrive.

These hubs aren’t just handy when on vacation, as they can be great for gardeners who want to know things about their plants that are not apparent to the naked eye.

People may see their gardens as welcome respites from their devices.

But garden gadgets can help plants thrive and make time in the garden that much more enjoyable.
