GREAT RATES. GREAT SERVICE.

• On June 6, 1683, the Ashmolean, the world’s first university museum, opens in Oxford, England. Today, the collection at the Ashmolean Museum of Art and Archaeology ranges in time from the earliest implements of man, made about 500,000 years ago, to 20th century works of art. • On June 10, 1692, in Salem Village in the Massachusetts Bay Colony, Bridget Bishop, the first colonist to be tried in the Salem witch trials, is hanged after being found guilty of the practice of witchcraft. The witch trials, which resulted in the executions of 19 innocent women and men, ended in October. • On June 9, 1893, the interior of Ford’s Theatre collapses when a basement pier gives way, killing 23 people. The building — where President Lincoln was assassinated — housed hundreds of government clerks. • On June 7, 1942, the Battle of Midway — one of the most decisive U.S. victories in its war against Japan — comes to an end. The outnumbered U.S. Pacific Fleet destroyed four Japanese aircraft carriers with the loss of only one of its own, the Yorktown. • On June 8, 1968, James Earl Ray is arrested in London, England, and charged with the assassination of civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. In 1969, Ray pleaded guilty to King’s murder. Three days later, he attempted to withdraw his guilty plea, claiming he had been set up as a patsy in a larger conspiracy. • On June 11, 1979, film actor John Wayne, born Marion Morrison, dies at age 72. The “John Wayne” name was created when the director of “The Big Trail” didn’t think Marion was a good name for an actor playing a tough Western hero. • On June 12, 1982, a large crowd descends upon New York City’s Central Park, demanding nuclear disarmament. Estimates placed the number of attendees at over a million. © 2022 Hearst Communications, Inc. All Rights Reserved

I keep seeing Julianne Hough on commercials. Didn’t she used to be a pro on “Dancing With the Stars”? Will she ever return? — K.L. Julianne Hough won two titles as a pro dancer on ABC’s “Dancing With the Stars,” where she started at just 18 years old. She danced for four seasons and later became one of the judges. Hough soon graduated to feature films, first in movies like a remake of “Footloose,” where she could show off her talents on foot, and later in romance flicks like “Safe Haven” opposite Josh Duhamel. In 2016, she played Sandy in the live television production of “Grease.” Not unlike many of her peers, her career slowed down during the pandemic. She told People magazine that she did a lot of soul searching during that time, which included an amicable divorce from retired hockey pro Brooks Laich. She’s focused on two of her businesses, Fresh Vine Wine and KINRGY, a dance-fitness program. With no plans to return to “DWtS,” Hough is loving her latest role — Broadway star. However, it’s not a musical, as one would expect, but a satiric political comedy called “POTUS.” She told People magazine that her “POTUS” co-stars Vanessa Williams (“The Good Wife”) and Rachel Dratch (“Saturday Night Live”) have “really shown me what friendship is.” *** I loved Retta, the actress, when she played Donna on “Parks and Recreation” and then later when she starred as Ruby on “Good Girls.” What’s next for her? — P.E. Born Marietta Sirleaf, comedian-actress Retta started doing stand-up comedy in Raleigh, North Carolina, after graduating from Duke University. She then moved to Los Angeles to try her luck and was soon cast as Donna Meagle on the NBC comedy “Parks and Recreation.” That small background role grew into a series regular, where she spent seven seasons stealing scenes. After that she had another small role that graduated into a bigger one on Bravo’s scripted series “Girlfriends’ Guide to Divorce.”

NBC

Retta in “Good Girls Retta hit another home run with “Good Girls,” the NBC series about three suburban best friends who one day decide to rob a grocery store. The show ended after four seasons, but she recently signed a “talent holding deal” with NBCUniversal, meaning she will “collaborate exclusively” with NBCU Television to find projects where she can star on its various entertainment platforms. *** Why did Alton Brown leave the Food Network? Is he leaving TV altogether? — J.C. Best known as the host of “Good Eats” on the Food Network for 14 seasons, Alton Brown decided to follow his other love, the “Iron Chef” franchise, to Netflix. He was a huge fan of the original “Iron Chef” series in Japan and then became part of its American version in several on-air capacities. You can see Brown as one of the hosts of Netflix’s “Iron Chef: Quest for an Iron Legend” beginning Wednesday, June 15.

BUSINESSSpotlight CRYSTALS & BREWS

Home to the healing powers of crystals, and so much more

For longtime friends Lora Verdelotti and Susan Dulac, opening their store, Crystals & Brews, was so much more than a new business venture; it was the realization that they could help others who, like themselves, were searching for peace, calm, healing, and connection. Both Lora and Sue had turned to the healing powers of crystals throughout their lives and knew that their knowledge of and experience with these gifts from the earth could reach others in a meaningful way. Crystals & Brews is a cozy and tidy shop on Washington Street in Coventry that is home to everything that those who love crystals and healing stones could want or need. The broad selection of crystals has been carefully curated by Lora and Susan who know about each of their individual powers and attributes. There is something here for everyone, whether you are just learning about crystals or have benefited from their healing energy for a long time. Whatever your level of experience, Lora and Sue can guide you through. Crystals & Brews may have just opened in April, but in many ways, it was a long time coming. Lora and Sue had been advocates of crystals for most of their lives; in fact, they also have a busy side-business selling them on Facebook live. Both have always been connected to the earth and each have a large collection of stones of their

Stop by today to experience all this welcoming shop in Coventry has to offer. own. Using Sue’s knowledge of Crystals and Lora’s business experience they were given a new infusion of life through the idea of combining their love of crystals to create Crystals & Brews. Today, this mystical shop of collectibles has become a destination for those seeking the personal power that can be derived from crystals. As Sue said, “For many, they fulfill a need”. These needs include, but are not limited to, the need for protection, love, calm, connection, peace, the reduction of stress and anxiety, healing, spirituality, strength, mental fortitude, and so much more. These stones, some of which are rough and others which are smooth, all come from the Earth, the greatest source of renewal and energy. For those looking for this renewal and energy, Crystals & Brews is a one-stop shop.

If asked to describe how they envision retirement, many professionals might reference travel, time spent with grandchildren and various recreational pursuits. Few, if any, would mention cognitive decline. However, cognitive decline poses a significant threat to aging men and women, especially during retirement. Researchers have long since recognized that certain cognitive abilities begin to decline with advanced age, even among elderly individuals who are healthy. However, despite that decline, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention notes that dementias like Alzheimer’s disease are not an inevitable part of aging. In fact, the CDC estimates that as many as 40 percent of dementia cases may be prevented or delayed. In addition, the CDC reports that it’s not uncommon for routine memory, skills and knowledge to stabilize or even improve as the brain ages. That’s good news for retirees who want to spend their post-work life pursuing their passions and hobbies. Individuals also can embrace some strategies to stay mentally sharp in retirement. • Consider delaying retirement. Even if early retirement is a dream, it might be better to work a little longer than you had planned. A 2021 study published in the journal SSM - Population Health found that postponed retirement is beneficial to cognitive function for all genders, races/ethnicities, educational levels, and professional sta-

tus. The study reported that individuals who waited until age 67 to retire experienced less cognitive decline than those who retired prior to turning 67. • Make exercise part of your retirement routine. A lack of structure may seem enticing to individuals who have spent decades working. However, many retirees find that little structure loses it appeal quickly after calling it quits. When creating a new routine in retirement, include regular exercise. According to the Mayo Clinic, studies indicate that people who are physically active are less likely to experience a decline in their mental function. So daily exercise not only gives retirees something to do, but also benefits their brains. • Enroll in an adult education course. A 2014 study published in the journal JAMA Neurology examined the association between lifetime intellectual enrichment and cognitive decline in the older population. The study’s authors found that higher levels of late-life cognitive activity were associated with higher levels of cognition. The study’s authors concluded that lifetime intellectual enrichment might delay the onset of cognitive impairment. Retirees can look into adult learning programs at local colleges and universities to see if anything piques their interest. Retirement can be everything professionals hope it will be, especially for those who make a concerted effort to maintain optimal cognitive function after they call it a career.

PaPa, Pt, dPt Owner Of ArAnciA PhysicAl TherAPy Have you ever experienced any of the following? 1. Urinary incontinence – bladder leakage? 2. Fecal incontinence – bowel leakage? 3. Bladder pain or burning with urination? 4. Difficulty starting the stream of urine? 5. Frequent urination or strong urges to urinate? 6. Constipation and/or straining to have a BM? 7. Several bowel movements in a short period of time? 8. Inability to complete a bowel movement? 9. Rectal pain and/or pressure before, during or after a bowel movement or just with sitting? 10.

The pelvic floor is a group of muscles that are found at the base of the pelvis. They act like a sling running from the front of your pelvis by your pubic bone to the back of your pelvis attaching to your sacrum (triangle bone at the bottom of your spine). When functioning correctly, the pelvic floor has 4 functions: 1. It supports your pelvic organs (bladder, uterus, prostate and bowel) from falling out 2. It maintains continence (allowing you to hold in urine, gas and bowel movements) 3. It aids in sexual functioning 4. It works with the abdominal wall to give support and stability to your spine. What is pelvic floor dysfunction? Pelvic floor dysfunction is often the result of increased tightness or shortening in your pelvic floor muscles just like a hamstring can get tight or shortened in the back of your thigh. This tension does not allow you to completely relax your muscles for things like urination and defecation and optimal sexual functioning. This can present like pain with urination, frequent urination or bowel movement, as the muscles don’t relax enough to allow your bladder or bowel to empty all the way. This gives you the sensation of having to go more often. It can also cause constipation and abdominal pain or bloating as the pelvic floor muscles don’t relax

for you to be able to have a bowel movement or when you do have a bowel movement you have to strain to do so. Frequently after childbirth or surgery in the pelvic region or low back the pelvic floor muscles become weak. Some women experience a sensation of pressure or falling out sensation in the vaginal area. This can come from organ prolapse such as your bladder falling down. In this case the pelvic floor muscles cannot function as well to support your internal organs and become even weaker. The national Institutes of Health found that pelvic floor disorders affect 10% of women ages 20-39; 27% of women ages 40-59, 37% of women ages 60-79 and nearly 50% of women over 80. How does the pelvic floor help low back pain? Your pelvic floor is part of your CORE! The alignment of your spine and pelvis/sacral iliac joints is also important since your pelvic floor muscles attach there. Instability of these areas also increases muscle tension and pain. If these bones are not in their ideal position it can cause increased tension, stretching or weakness of the pelvic floor muscles creating an imbalance in your musculature. Any weak muscles around the pelvis and low back contribute to back pain. If you have experienced any of the 12 signs listed above you are a perfect candidate to explore the possibility of your pelvic floor being the cause or a contributing factor. Remember there are treatment options for you! Don’t suffer and compromise your quality of life when the treatment is so easy! My goal is to help you identify potential causes of your symptoms and give you some ideas for how to begin working towards correcting it and m o v e you closer to restoring the lifestyle and the quality of life you desire. The signs of pelvic floor disorders listed above are definitely just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to pelvic muscle assessment and treatment; so, if you continue to suffer or simply would like to undergo a thorough professional assessment, please do not hesitate to contact us. We’re here to walk beside you on your return to life, as you once knew it!

SAY YOU SAW IT IN THE REMINDER

Am I infertile?

How do you know if you are infertile? Should you be worried about your fertility? Many women and men spend so many years preventing pregnancy while they are in school or building a career that they worry that when they try to build a family they will not be able. We know that delaying childbearing too long, especially for women, can make it much more challenging to conceive. Infertility is defined as 1 year of intercourse without pregnancy for a woman under age 35 and 6 months of trying for a woman 35 years and up. But if you haven’t tried to conceive yet, how can you determine if you are at risk for fertility problems? Most adults actually do not have challenges getting pregnant provided they do not have factors that put them at risk. What about male fertility? Infertility affects men and women equally. Men who have had injuries to their testes, chemotherapy, or radiation may have difficulties with low sperm counts. Certain medications can decrease the chance of fertility in men such as testosterone supplements. Marijuana use can lower sperm counts. What about young women in their 20s or early 30’s? There are several risk factors that are well known. Women who have had a sexually transmitted disease in the past may have had damage to their fallopian

tubes leading to a blockage. Irregular periods which are often due to a lack of ovulation may indicate a problem. Fertility difficulties may be due to a woman having polycystic ovaries or other hormonal problems. Women who have had surgery in their abdomen, a tubal pregnancy or a history of endometriosis may have reduced fertility. They may have chronic pain in the lower abdomen or severe menstrual cramps which could mean there is a problem with the uterus or tubes. Some women may have very heavy periods or a history of fibroids leading to decreased

fertility. Women over the age of 35 years often have difficulty conceiving, but each woman is different in how quickly her ovaries age. When a woman is over age 40, she may have a significant decrease in fertility, so women in this age group should seek an evaluation as soon as is possible. What can you do to try to maintain your fertility? Both men and women should have a healthy diet, normal weight, and healthy lifestyle to try to increase future chances of a family. Avoiding reproductive toxins such as smoking and marijuana may have a positive impact. If you have concerns about your future fertility, some basic testing can be done by your health care provider to see if you have any reason to be concerned. For a man, this would be a semen analysis and for women blood tests and an ultrasound are suggested. Individuals on long-term medication or with diseases such as diabetes or high blood pressure should speak with their health care provider to make sure they are as healthy as possible and that the medications that they are taking are safe when trying

to conceive. Should a woman in her 20s or 30s freeze her eggs? That is not always an easy question to answer as it is a complicated question and an expensive” insurance policy”. Certainly, we are hearing more and more about egg freezing. Freezing eggs is an involved process and not without risk. A woman who chooses to freeze her eggs may never need them. Nevertheless, it offers peace of mind to women in their mid-30s who do not have a partner or who are not ready to begin their family. If that is something you are contemplating doing, you should see a reproductive endocrinologist (fertility specialist) for a consultation. You will have an opportunity to learn about your fertility potential whether or not you choose to pursue any treatment. Infertility affects about 10-15% of couples. If you think you may have infertility, speak with your health care provider who can help you determine if you should be concerned. The good news is that there are many treatments available should you have difficulty conceiving.

Campeche Chairs When decorating a room, it’s fun to include something out-of-the-ordinary. Perhaps you can find an unusual lamp or a modern painting, or a piece of furniture in a unique style. Try something new and go to an auction to see what’s selling. Neal Auction Company’s recent auction was selling different styles of antique furniture, including a Campeche chair. It looked a lot like some modern chairs, but it had a single piece of leather curved to make the back and seat on a simple wooden frame. The back was tipped just enough to make it a perfect place to nap. The legs were upside-down capital C’s, one on each side with a center stretcher. It was a perfect conversation piece. The name “Campeche” comes from its use in the city of Campeche, Mexico, where it was popular in the late 18th century. Historians thought the name came from campeche wood, but most were made of mahogany. Looking up the chair’s history takes talent because it is also called a “Spanish chair” or a “butac” (a shortened form of other words, “butaca” or “boutaque,” used for the chair). Some call it the “planter’s chair.” Thomas Jefferson had one of these chairs he called a “Campeachy.” The chairs, similar to earlier X-frame chairs, were popular in Louisiana and shipped to New Orleans. They were used in Philadelphia by the 1830s and in London by about 1845. Some modern artists, including silversmith William Spratling, were creating similar pieces in the 1950s. The chairs are still being made and sold in the U.S. today. *** I have two curio cabinets labeled “Jasper.” I purchased them in the 1960s from Harlem Furniture Co. in Dayton, Ohio. I was hoping that you could help me out with finding new keys! Thank you. If owners of antique furniture collectors are lucky, their pieces have the original key. If you don’t see a key, check to see if it’s taped in a drawer or on the back panel. Don’t remove the lock, it will damage the furniture. Call a locksmith. Ask an antiques dealer or auction

This Campeche chair is made of mahogany with a small, circular inlay of a lighter wood. It was estimated to be worth $5,000 each.

BUSINESSSpotlight VICTORIA’S CLOSET

From treasure to trousers, and everything in between

There is something wonderful and essential about a clothing boutique and gift shop located in a small town where such sights can be hard to find. It is especially wonderful when that shop’s namesake is a one-year-old little girl named Victoria who just happens to be the light of her mother’s life! Such is the story of Victoria’s Closet, a small but mighty store found just off North Main Street in Pascoag. Victoria’s Closet is the vision and brainchild of her mother Gina DiBasio who, until recently, had spent most of her career as a phlebotomist. When Victoria was born and the pandemic hit, Gina hit a crossroad that made her rethink her goals and dreams. She made a bold decision that would allow her to do what she most wanted to do ~ spend more time raising her young daughter. Soon thereafter, she purchased a vacant storefront in town and thus became an official small business owner. Gina and a team of supportive friends and family went right to work transforming this neglected space into a bright, cheerful, and welcoming place. Soft, teal-colored walls are now punctuated with crisp white accents; newly laid tile floors and neatly organized display units create the perfect backdrop to showcase the store’s many treasures. There are even some places designated just for Victoria when she is there with her mom.

Come to Victoria’s Closet in Pascoag to discover clothes for all ages and sizes, as well as shoes, accessories and so much more. Check out the custom-made items here ~ perfect for every occasion, every person, and every budget.

Working diligently alongside Gina is her friend, fellow biker and now store employee Breonna Diniz. Today, Breonna is a familiar face at Victoria’s Closet. Gina and Breonna have assembled a wide variety of clothing and accessories for women, men, and children of all ages. Shoppers here can find almost everything they need to wear for a casual summer day, a night out on the town, or almost anywhere! Though limited in size, the store accommodates many racks of seasonal clothing ~ from infant and children to adolescents and adults ~ as well as shoes, shapewear, ties, jewelry, hair accessories, bathing suits, handbags, and all kinds of unique gift items. It is such a fun place to explore and discover great finds for every budget. One of the best things about Victoria’s Clos-

ets are the custom-made t-shirts, tote bags, pillowcases, hoodies, aprons, kitchen towels, onesies for babies, and sweatpants that Gina makes. These items are emblazoned with catchy phrases and fun sayings that make the perfect gifts for loved ones, baby and wedding showers, birthdays ~ any occasion you can think of! Gina’s work is flawless, professional looking, made-to-order, and very affordable. Victoria’s Closet is worth a trip to 74 North Main Street in Pascoag. Summer hours are Mondays, 12-5pm, Tuesday, Wed. & Thurs. 10:30am-7pm, Saturdays, 8;30am – 4pm and Sunday, 9am – 3pm. Closed on Fridays! For more information, call the shop at 401-710-4023 or find them on Facebook. Maybe if you are lucky, you will even get to meet Victoria!

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) An on-the-job change works to your benefit by offering new opportunities. It’s up to you to check them out. Meanwhile, a stalled romantic situation starts up again. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) That flare-up of Scorpian temperament cools down, leaving you more receptive to suggestions about changes that might need to be made in your personal life. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) An unusual period of indecisiveness is a mite frustrating. But things soon clear up, allowing the sage Sagittarian to make those wise pronouncements again. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) You might feel that you know best, but it’s not a good idea at this time to try to force your opinions on others. Best advice: Inspire change by example, not by intimidation. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Some setbacks could affect your plans to fortify your financial situation. But things start moving again by early next week. Meanwhile, enjoy your resurgent social life. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Show that often-hidden steely spine of yours as you once again stand up to an emotional bully. You’ve got the strength to do it, especially as friends rally to your side. BORN THIS WEEK: Your ruling planet, Mercury, endows you with a gift for writing.
