Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez late Robert Morse (in the Tony Curtis role), Tony Roberts (in the Jack Lemmon role) and Elaine Joyce (in the Marilyn Monroe role). It ran 505 performances. In 2002-03, Tony Curtis toured in a national company of “Sugar” (as Osgood Fielding III, the man romantically pursuing Jack Lemmon’s character), which they called “Some Like It Hot: The Musical.” On Dec. 11, a new “Some Like It Hot: The Musical” will open on Broadway with a score by Marc Shaiman (“Hairspray”), and a book by Tony-winner Matthew Lopez and “Late Night with Seth Myers” staff writer/performer Amber Ruffin (with a show on Peacock). Here’s the twist: While Broadway actor Christian Borle of the TV series “Smash” will play the Tony Curtis role, both the Jack Lemmon and Marilyn Monroe roles will be played by people of color, J. Harrison Ghee and Adrianna Hicks. If audiences don’t warm up to this “Hot,” they can’t blame it on the weather. © 2022 King Features Synd., Inc.

HOLLYWOOD — Ben Affleck is directing and starring with Matt Damon in an untitled film for Amazon in which Damon plays a salesman for a fledgling shoe company named ... Nike. Affleck’s psychological thriller, “Deep Water,” with Ana de Armas, dropped in March, and his “The Flash” film is due in June 2023. Damon is upcoming in “Thor: Love and Thunder” and in Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer” (father of the atomic bomb). Affleck, a two-time Oscar winner, holds on to longtime relationships. He and Jennifer Lopez first connected in 2002 on “Gigli.” She filed for divorce from Cris Judd that July and by November they were engaged. She was even willing to become Jennifer Affleck! Just days prior to the 2003 wedding, it was called off. In June 2004, Lopez wed Marc Anthony, and Affleck coupled with and married Jennifer Garner the following year. Flash forward to April 2022, when they officially became re-engaged. Affleck popped the question while she was in a bubble bath, and they went house hunting in the exclusive Holmby Hills community. For her 52nd birthday, they hid away on a yacht just off the beach from Monaco. Can Bennifer make it this time, or will they call it off again? *** In 1959, Billy Wilder’s “Some Like It Hot” premiered with Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon as musicians forced to flee Chicago after witnessing the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre. Disguised in drag, they joined an all-girl band headed to Florida. Their lead singer was Marilyn Monroe (aka Sugar “Kane” Kowalczyk). The film cost $2.9 million to shoot and grossed $49 million (about $480 million today). In 1972, songwriter Jule Styne (“Gypsy” and “Funny Girl”) and lyricist Bob Merrill (“Carnival” and “Funny Girl”) wrote the music and lyrics for “Sugar,” the Broadway musical of “Some Like It Hot,” starring the

A member of the franchise system of BHH Affiliates, LLC
Determined. Spunky. Diligent and hard-working. These are but a few of the many adjectives that could be used to describe Danica Chase, a realtor who burst on the residential real estate scene last year. Danica, a 43-yearold mother of five teenagers, is a Massachusetts-licensed realtor who is now licensed to practice here in Rhode Island as a member of the team at the renown Berkshire Hathaway agency. She is full of energy and enthusiasm, but she is also a “put your nose to the grind” type of person. If you are in the process of buying or selling a house in the middle of this volatile housing market, then you need Danica Chase by your side. For as long as she can remember, Danica has
loved house-hunting. As a young girl, it was Danica who would draw her mother’s attention to the architectural features of homes, to how properties were laid out, to the practicality of multi-family residences. She has a knack for finding the right match for her clients but more importantly, she does her due diligence in the process. Research is her passion, and she will scour every neighborhood and explore every school, town ordinance, financial liability and community resource available to find you the best home. The best home for your budget. The best home for your lifestyle. The best home for your family. Before becoming a licensed Realtor, Danica worked many jobs, honing her natural talents and sharpening her skills. One
of those jobs was as a Paralegal in a prestigious law firm. At this job, Danica worked extensively with real estate law, especially with titles. She learned the importance of “reading the fine print”, of scrutinizing documents before signatures were penned, of making sure that both client and customer knew all that they were agreeing to. These experiences have given her a depth of understanding that even more seasoned Realtors lack. Another influential job in her career was working in a hospice center. Her time there taught her skills that cannot be taught in a classroom. Here, Danica learned the invaluable lessons of how to talk with people in some of the most difficult moments of their lives. Though not a medical professional, Danica was able to spend time with the center’s patients and build close bonds with them. Danica is a natural with people from all walks of life. Danica is a laser-focused, motivated, highly relatable, and intuitive person. She knows from personal experience the joy of homeownership. She is a dreamer but also a

• On May 24, 1883, after 14 years and 27 deaths during construction, the Brooklyn Bridge in New York is opened, the largest suspension bridge ever built to that date. • On May 27, 1894, Dashiell Hammett, author of “The Maltese Falcon,” is born in Maryland. He worked as a Pinkerton detective for eight years and turned his experiences into fiction. The novel was filmed three times, the last in 1941, starring Humphrey Bogart. • On May 28, 1902, Owen Wister’s “The Virginian” is published. It was the first serious Western and one of the most influential in the genre. The book became a sensation and inspired four movies and a Broadway play. • On May 29, 1932, the so-called Bonus Expeditionary Force, a group of 1,000 World War I veterans seeking cash payments for their veterans’ bonus certificates, arrives in Washington, D.C. One month later, that number had swelled to nearly 20,000 strong. • On May 26, 1940, President Franklin Roosevelt makes a radio appeal for the support of the Red Cross. Belgian and French civilians were “running from their homes to escape bombs and shells and machine gunning, without shelter, and almost wholly without food,” FDR told Americans. • On May 23, 1960, a tsunami caused by an earthquake off the coast of Chile travels across the Pacific Ocean and kills 61 people in Hilo, Hawaii. The massive 9.5 magnitude quake had killed thousands in Chile the previous day. The Pacific Tsunami Warning System, established in 1948, worked properly and warnings were issued to Hawaiians six hours in advance, but some people ignored the warnings and others actually headed to the coast to view the wave. • On May 25, 1977, the communist government of China lifts its decadeold ban on the writings of William Shakespeare. Mao Tse-Tung’s 1966 revolution had banned any cultural work that did not have the required ideological content. © 2022 Hearst Communications, Inc. All Rights Reserved

Guide to outdoor lighting Lighting is an essential component of interior and exterior home design. Not only does lighting add style and make spaces more appealing, when done correctly, it also makes a home safer and more functional. Homeowners who plan to utilize outdoor spaces like backyards, front porches and walkways to the fullest should think carefully about lighting. These guidelines can assist with selecting outdoor lighting fixtures.

Accent and landscape lighting A bevy of accent lighting choices are available. Accent lighting is designed to enhance the mood and appearance of certain elements of a landscape. Accent lighting is not intended to add bright light. For example, upward-directed lights can be cast on trees or shrubs to accentuate their shapes. Accent lighting also may call out a structure, such as a garden or a fountain. While accent lighting may be hard-wired, homeowners who want the luxury of changing lighting can opt for solar fixtures, which are more mobile but not as bright.
Wall, post and ceiling lights Outdoor lighting fixtures beyond security options come in a variety of styles, according to Lamps USA. Wall lights are mounted to the outdoor wall of the home. These typically flank doorways or the garage. Post lights are often installed on the posts of decks and porches, or are free-standing on properties, providing visibility but also style. Ceiling-mounted lights may be above doorways or installed in any structure that has an overhead area. Warm-colored temperature bulbs in these fixtures can create an inviting atmosphere that is not too bright and jarring, especially when multiple lighting fixtures are working together. When selecting lighting for wall-mounted fixtures, experts suggest sizing up if you are not sure of the size to pick, as lights will look much smaller in scale from a distance.
Additional pointers When shopping for bulbs, consider the number of lumens. A standard 100-watt bulb produces around 1,600 lumens. Security lights should range from 700 to 1,300 lumens for optimal brightness. Other lights needn’t be so bright. Furthermore, ensure that any fixtures that are being used are safety-rated for outdoors. Wet-rated fixtures are designed to withstand direct exposure to outdoor elements, advises the design experts at Schoolhouse, a lighting and lifestyle goods company. Damp-rated fixtures are built for outdoor locations protected from harsh weather. Look for the product details or work with an electrician to choose the right lighting choices. Lighting can transform outdoors spaces for the better.

ities will be found upon colonoscopy. You are right that false positives are more prevalent in older individuals. There are two reasons that I think the Cologuard is still a reasonable choice, although it isn’t as good as colonoscopy. The first is that I continue to recommend a screening test for healthy 77-year-old men, and although colonoscopy is my first choice, a normal Cologuard test prevents a need for colonoscopy, and a false positive would lead to the same colonoscopy you would have gotten anyway (although there probably is more anxiety after a false positive test). The second is that a person with an abnormal Cologuard and a normal colonoscopy may be at risk for an abnormality that wasn’t found on colonoscopy. A study looking at people in this category found a 25% risk of abnormality on follow-up colonoscopy, if the Cologuard was abnormal again one to two years later. *** DEAR DR. ROACH: I am 35 years old. I have experienced fluttering in my chest for most of my adult life. It’s been a once in a while kind of thing, but for the past month, I keep getting it every day. I have had a lot of EKGs, but my doctor seems to think everything is normal. Please help me, because it’s messing up my work and other aspects of my life. — S.Q. ANSWER: Most of the time, fluttering in the chest is not something you need to worry about. Most people will have occasional episodes of this, and a few people have a greater number but are found to be normal after extensive evaluation. A cardiologist might recommend a 24- to 48-hour heart monitor. If you have symptoms every day, this would be likely to catch your heart rhythm during an event. Devices that record for longer amounts of time are also available, and there are consumer devices that allow you to record an EKG yourself. 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.
Security lighting Flood lights and security lights are a good investment for those who want to beef up visibility and security around the home. These lights are high-intensity and designed to illuminate large areas. The brightness and reach can serve as a preventive measure to keep animals and even criminals away. Motion-sensor lights will immediately engage if something crosses the path of the sensor. Some lights will remain on from dusk until dawn. Lowes Home Improvement suggests using the correct wattage on outdoor security lights so they flood an area thoroughly without affecting neighboring properties. May 9, 2022
DEAR DR. ROACH: I am a 77-year-old man in good health. At my recent annual physical exam, my physician ordered a Cologuard kit to be sent to me to screen for colorectal disease. I have never had symptoms of disease or problems with any part of my gastrointestinal tract. I had two colonoscopies at different times several years ago, with negative results. When I got the kit, I read that the Cologuard test could result in false positives, with an increased risk of false positives for persons over age 75. A positive test result requires a follow-up colonoscopy, which is also riskier for elderly patients. Since I am in good health with no symptoms of any disease, I decided I did not want to risk a false positive result from the test, which would require a follow-up colonoscopy. Did I make the right decision? — E.G. ANSWER: Cologuard is a brand of test that looks at DNA in stool for evidence of cancer. Certain DNA mutations are highly suggestive of cancer. In addition, Cologuard does an immunochemical test looking for blood. Because it combines these two techniques, Cologuard is more sensitive than only a test looking for blood. Compared with colonoscopy, Cologuard is about 92% sensitive in finding cancers, meaning it will miss about 8%. With improved sensitivity comes a lack of specificity, which means you could have a false positive result. The Cologuard can say that you have an abnormality when a colonoscopy would indicate normal. For 45% of people with a positive Cologuard test, no abnormal-

Q:
Will “The Equalizer” return for another season? I’m really enjoying it, even though it’s very different from the original series back in the ‘80s. — J.J. The original series ran for four seasons on CBS and starred British actor Edward Woodward as a retired intelligence agent turned private investigator. While Woodward’s character focused on violent offenders, the current series, which stars Queen Latifah, is about an ex-CIA agent turned social justice warrior. Fans of the show might not know that there also have been two motion pictures based on “The Equalizer” starring Denzel Washington. TVLine.com reports that new showrunners will take over “The Equalizer” for its “all-but-guaranteed season three renewal.” Andrew W. Marlowe and Terri Edda Miller created the modern version based on the Woodward-led eponymous series. The new executives behind the scenes include Joseph C. Wilson, who has been with the show since season one, so I wouldn’t expect any major changes. “The Equalizer” has about 7.5 million loyal viewers each week, so if it’s not broke, why fix it? *** Whatever happened to the sitcom that Kelsey Grammer and Alec Baldwin were doing? Did the tragedy surrounding Baldwin’s movie “Rust” cause producers to cancel the show? — L.K. The untitled comedy series starring sitcom legends Kelsey Grammer (“Frasier”) and Alec Baldwin (“30 Rock”) was finished before it ever got started. ABC passed on the series after viewing the pilot last April, months before the horrific tragedy on the set of Baldwin’s movie “Rust” in which cinematographer Halyna Hutchins lost her life. Baldwin is reportedly doing a movie overseas now, as he faces a lawsuit from Hutchins’ family. His career in the U.S. might not ever recover. Meanwhile, Grammer’s next project is the upcoming “Flowers in the Attic: The Origin,” a TV miniseries premiering July 9 on Lifetime that also stars another television icon, Harry Hamlin (“L.A. Law”).

Q:
What is my all-time favorite actor Nick Nolte doing these days? I loved him in one of my favorite comedies, “Down and Out in Beverly Hills,” and then later in “The Prince of Tides.” I haven’t seen him in recent years, however. — K.L. The now 81-year-old three-time Oscar nominee is still acting. His first major role was back in 1976 in the hit TV drama “Rich Man, Poor Man,” but it wasn’t long before he became a movie star. In 1979, he starred in the satiric football comedy “North Dallas Forty” and followed that with the blockbuster cop comedy “48 Hrs.” opposite Eddie Murphy. In 1991, he wowed audiences in the thriller “Cape Fear,” with Robert DeNiro, and subsequently made us cry in “Prince of Tides” opposite Barbra Streisand. In recent years, he’s joined the “Star Wars” franchise by voicing the character of Kuiil on “The Mandalorian,” and he can be seen in the Spectrum Originals series “Paradise Lost” with Barbara Hershey. Nolte recently finished wrapping up a new action movie with Josh Duhamel called “Blackout.” Send me your questions at NewCelebrityExtra@gmail.com, or write me at KFWS, 628 Virginia Drive, Orlando, FL 32803.

The Cutting Edge Hair Designs is excited to offer nail services and spa pedicures in our new nail room! Alison Pope, Kristen Starziano, and Samantha Lillie have years of experience as nail technicians! For many people, manicures and pedicures are an occasional treat. It feels nice to pamper yourself once in a while, especially when you’re stressed, but what if there are more benefits to manicures and pedicures than you thought? Along with regular manicures and pedicures being a relaxing treat, they’re very beneficial for your health. Softer skin may seem like a luxurious bonus after a manicure and pedicure. But it’s essential to keep your skin as soft as possible. The skin on your feet, especially the heels, can harden without regular maintenance. This hard skin can crack, split, and peel. If this condition isn’t dealt with regular pedicures, it can become painful. If untreated, it can even make walking difficult. Soft skin isn’t just for cosmetic value. It’s essential for good health. Spa manicures and pedicures make your nails look great, but a fresh coat of paint isn’t the only benefit. Regular manicures help your nails remain strong and healthy. Nails not regularly maintained can weaken and split easily. Brittle nails cause pain and discom-

fort. They’re also more susceptible to infection. Your nails and skin come into contact with the elements and different toxins every time you leave your home. You can protect your nails from infection by keeping them strong. We need good circulation to maintain a healthy body. It’s vital for both hands and feet. As part of your manicure and pedicure, you receive a brief massage to boost and encourage healthy circulation. This massage also promotes healthy joints and mobility. For this reason, it’s recommended you increase the number of manicures and pedicures you get as you age. It’s easy to become overwhelmed by life. Whether it’s work, family, or new relationships, stress can play a significant role in how you feel. Like any other spa treatment, a manicure or pedicure promotes relaxation. Stress has been linked to chronic diseases, fatigue and even cancer. Lowering your stress levels is one of the best ways to ensure you stay healthy. Studies show just 30 minutes of stress relief each day can significantly boost your health and energy. A manicure or pedicure could be exactly what you need to unwind. Spa manicures and pedicures are often paired with aromatherapy. You may pick up different scents from the room while you have your treatment. There are many essential oils, like lavender or jasmine, that promote relaxation. In fact, lavender is known to encourage sleep and is used by many to limit their insomnia. Life can be so busy, it’s hard to find time for yourself. Whether you’re a stay-at-home mom or a six-digit CEO, it’s important to have time that’s entirely yours. Scheduling a manicure or pedicure lets you sit, relax, and concentrate on yourself. Catering to other people’s needs is a way of life for many of us, but you can’t look after others if you don’t look after yourself. In the short time it takes to get your nails done, you could walk out of the spa feeling fresh and new.

“Do You Need A New Roof?
If So, I Bet The Last Thing You Want To Do RIGHT NOW Is Spend $15,000-$25,000 Or More On A New Roof!” Call the Roof Assistance Hotline at 401-954-9012 to learn how you may qualify to replace your old roof for $5,000-$6,000 of your own personal funds, regardless of roof size. This is not a loan or a grant so there is no application to fill out and no home appraisal required. Qualifying is strictly based on a free assessment of your current roof. Who this program is for: 1. Homeowners with medium, large or extra-large roofs 2. This program is not based on financial hardship. In fact, many homeowners that we assist are considered somewhat affluent 3. Homeowners with a roof that is between 10-35 years old are ideal 1. 2. 3. 4.
Who this program is NOT for:
Homeowners with smaller than average roofs Homeowners that have replaced sections of their roof over the years, piece by piece Homeowners with roofs that are less than 10 years old Homeowners that a have a roof in absolutely terrible condition that probably needed to be replaced many, many years ago
“I received something indicating that it was possible to replace my roof for a fraction of the actual cost. Now, my roof was over 13 years old and I thought no way, but what the hell I’ll call and find out more. Best phone call I have ever made. These guys have a system that was a joy to watch. I could go on and on I mean these guys saved me $15,000. So do yourself a favor, if you need a new roof call them first.” Brian Bouthillier – North Kingstown, R.I.

The Iron-Clad Secret to the Best Pizza at Home
Most pizza lovers agree: What sets pizzeria pizza apart from homemade pizza is that glorious crispy, crackly crust. That's because commercial pizza ovens cook at temperatures between 700 F to 800 F. Yeah, well, that's not happening in most home kitchens. But we can achieve a similar
www.JasonCoblentz.com
Pizza night just got a whole lot better. effect by using a pan made of cast iron. This will act as an oven within your oven, yielding a temperature high enough to get that irresistible crispy, yet tender crust (cue the angel chorus). Safety warning! This technique is not for the kiddies or the faint of heart. We're going to get that cast-iron skillet screaming hot. Use caution and protect your skin and your surfaces from the heat. The ingredients I used are below,
but feel free to make substitutions. Use this guideline, no more than 2 cups shredded cheese and 1 1/2 cups assorted toppings (vegetables and meats) or you risk your pizza becoming soggy and not cooking completely through the center.
CAST-IRON SKILLET PIZZA 2 to 4 servings 45 minutes cup olive oil -– divided ounces Italian sausage, casings removed 1/3 cup onion, thinly sliced 1/3 cup bell peppers, green and red, thinly sliced 1/3 cup mushrooms, thinly sliced 12–16 ounces pizza dough — store bought or homemade equivalent 1½ cups mozzarella cheese, shredded 8 ounces pizza sauce — purchased or recipe below 2 tablespoons olives, sliced
Yield: Time: 1/4 6
1. Bring the dough to room temperature and have your ingredients sliced and ready before you begin. If you're using my pizza sauce recipe, make that now, as well. Prepare the dough by placing on a lightly floured surface and shaping into a 14-inch round. 2. Preheat the oven to 475 F. Preheat a 12-inch cast iron skillet on the stove top on medium-low heat. Add one tablespoon olive oil to the skillet and cook the sausage, breaking into crumbles. Drain on paper towel and set aside. Place the onions, peppers and mushrooms in the skillet, cooking enough to soften. Set aside. 3. Now, add 2 tablespoons olive oil, using a brush to spread the oil up the sides of the pan. Carefully place the dough round into the pan. The dough starts cooking the moment it hits the hot pan, so work quickly to avoid the bottom burning. Evenly sprinkle half
the cheese over the entire crust. It'll act as a barrier, preventing the sauce from seeping into the crust making it soggy. Dollop the sauce over the cheese layer, using the back of a spoon to spread it out. It's OK if it's not perfect. 4. Next, add the sausage, onion, peppers and mushrooms. Top with remaining cheese and olives. Brush any exposed crust with remaining olive oil. 5. With caution and heavy oven mitts, place the skillet into the hot oven. Bake for 12 to 14 minutes. The cheese should be bubbling and slightly browned, and the crust should be golden. 6. With extreme caution, remove skillet from the oven and place on a heat-protected surface. Run a knife around the outside edge of the pizza to prevent the cheese from sticking. Post a picture to impress your friends. Let cool for 10 minutes before devouring.

Cut Yourself Some Slack
As I’ve gotten older, I’ve come to appreciate afternoon naps. These often include one or two cats snoozing on top of me, making me reluctant to get up. I keep my phone nearby so I can take calls without disturbing the cats. On one of these calls recently, I felt guilty admitting that I was stretched out on the couch instead of doing something productive. My friend assured me there was no reason to feel that way. I said, “You know, you’re right. And that gives me an idea for a blog post.” In case you’re not aware, I have stage 4 lung cancer and have been in a clinical study for over a year. I take two pills daily and get infusion treatments every three weeks. For the most part, I’m doing just fine, but I get tired and short of breath quite easily. Those afternoon naps are a welcome part of my day. I’ve decided to cut myself some slack and give myself permission to enjoy them. My couch time has cut into several hobbies and projects that I could have been working on. I used to feel guilty that I wasn’t practicing my saxophone for the community band that I’m in. Despite my lung cancer, I can still play. Because of COVID fears, I haven’t been attending practices anyway, so procrastination comes easily for that to-do. I have several writing projects that have been on the back burner for years. Mostly I do my writing on my desktop computer, which is upstairs in my loft area. I can easily talk myself out of climbing those steps. I’ve stopped beating myself over the head on that one, too. If I weren’t so lazy about taking walks, my energy level would no doubt improve and my weight would likely go down. Avoiding a walk used to be a major guilt trip. Not anymore, although the nicer weather is motivating me to go out more. Then there’s the storage bins of yarn for making baby
RETIREMENT SPARKS by ELAINE M. DECKER
booties for new grandparents among my neighbors and acquaintances. I prefer to have a few pairs ready for when I learn about a new arrival. I crochet them in funky colors, but they’re still oriented to boy or girl babies, which means having several pairs on hand. My
stockpile is almost out, especially for boys. Fortunately, there are no deliveries pending as far as I know. Other delayed distaff projects include piles of mending, both mine and my husband’s. It dawned on me that over time our interests and our priorities can change. So I don’t feel guilty about ignoring any of these anymore. Instead, I’m often stretched out on the family room couch with two cats on top of me and Hallmark channel on TV (often a mystery, but sometimes
a RomCom). And probably something I’ve already seen. Which is a good thing, because I often wind up napping through the ending. Simply put, I’ve decided to cut myself some slack. I realize that at my age and with my health issues, I’m entitled to whatever down time I decide I need. Or want. It can be therapeutic, but it doesn’t have to be. I encourage all of you to try this. You may be thinking: “Oh, I’m not that old.” Or: “I’m not sick.” You don’t need to be old or sick to benefit from doing what will make you happy rather than what you feel obligated to do. I was emailing with a friend recently while stretched out on our new couch. She’s much younger than I am. She and her sister had been at a movie where no one else was masked and a lot of folks were coughing. The two of them decided the environment was too risky, so they just walked out and went shopping instead. I see this as another example of cutting yourself some slack, doing what you want to in the moment, rather than being concerned with what you “should” be doing, whatever the reason. Not worrying about what others might think about you, living in a “no judgment” zone is liberating. It doesn’t take much practice, but a comfortable couch is helpful to the process. And you don’t even need cats lying on top of you to enjoy it.

Celebrate Summer Holidays
Summer holidays often revolve around being together, but whether your family and friends are near or far, there are plenty of fun and unique ways to celebrate these holidays in-person or virtually. Here’s a little history on a few annual summer occasions, and ideas for amping up the festivities. Host a Memorial Day Celebration of Life. While Memorial Day weekend is often the unofficial start to summer filled with camping trips, beach parties and barbecues, it’s important to remember that we commemorate this day to honor the legacy of those who have served and lost their lives in the U.S. Military. You can embrace the bond with your family by having a traditional backyard party or picnic in remembrance of those close to you who have served. Honor them by serving their favorite foods, playing their favorite games, or even writing your favorite memories down on a piece of paper and sharing them with the group. Honor Juneteenth by Showing Your Appreciation for Black Culture. Juneteenth takes place on June 19 and commemorates the emancipation of thousands of slaves who were not aware of their freedom until that date in 1865. On this date, Union General Gordon Granger landed in Galveston, Texas with news that the Civil War had ended and that the enslaved were now free. And in 2021, Juneteenth was officially recognized as a federal holiday in the United States. Many honor Juneteenth with educational and family gatherings, supporting Black-owned businesses, and by visiting museums and exhibits dedicated to Black culture. You can also send a personalized message of love and inspiration. And& who better to deliver your message than Grammy Award-winning artist Alicia Keys? Her completely customizable SmashUp video
greeting is specifically designed to celebrate the Juneteenth holiday. Create a Custom Dad-Approved Experience this Father’s Day. What better way to show your appreciation for the father figure in your life than by creating a day all about him? Think about his favorite hobbies and design an itinerary sure to receive the Dad seal of approval. Whether it’s a fishing trip, creating your own backyard mini-golf course, or going on a brewery tour in search of the best local IPA, it’s sure to be a Father’s Day he’ll remember. If you can’t be with Dad, sending a personalized video or ecard is a great way to show you care. These greetings are made just for him, and you can even add a gift card to one of his favorite stores. Get Crafty for Fourth of July. Fourth of July is the peak of summer and commemorates the Continental Congress formally accepting the Declaration of Independence of the United States in 1776. Often enjoyed with food, fireworks, and parades, it’s a bash that’s anticipated all summer long. Get into the patriotic mood by creating some original décor or USA-themed foods for your cookout or fireworks watch party. Try your hand at designing items like patriotic napkin rings, American Flag-inspired desserts, painting outdoor items such as flowerpots red, white, and blue, or even making your own sparklers and lanterns to hand out to guests when they arrive. Then, after guests have settled into the festivities, add an extra layer of fun by using filter-like Selfie SmashUps to turn yourself and guests into Uncle Sam. Each summer holiday is an opportunity to bring people together to make new memories. By thinking outside the box, you can truly make a splash this summer. (StatePoint)

There was a time when kids came home from school, changed out of their school clothes and into their play clothes, and rushed outside to spend the 2 or 3 hours before dinner - or supper, as it was called in our house - to meet up with their neighborhood friends. There was freedom in kicking off the polished school shoes and hanging up the starched shirts and itchy dresses and slipping into worn sneakers and patched dungarees. And then heading outside to find kids of all ages emerging from their back doors. There was always someone to play ball or hopscotch with or a group to join for an impromptu neighborhood-wide game of hide and seek, or any number of active games invented on the spot. Summers were all-day affairs, with the neighborhood mothers calling out as the screen doors slammed, “Be home for lunch” followed by “Be home for supper” and ending with “Be home when the streetlights come on”. We grew up in a section of Warwick, not too far from the tiny airport, which was called Hillsgrove before it became T.F. Green. The collection of houses were small ranches and capes, with an occasional old and weathered colonial tucked in-between. A few of the older houses looked like original farmhouses from back when the land was all farmland and woods. We lived at the edge of a cul de sac next to a field where corn and turnip were still grown. We played in the field regularly, although there were rumors of always having to watch for the farmer who was said to come charging out of the farmhouse on the far side of the field wildly waving a shotgun. I never witnessed this, but made sure I never strayed too far from the side our house was on, just in case. Most of the time, though, we gathered in the woods. The woods was a huge uncultivated forest that bordered our neighborhood. The backyards of the outermost houses ended where the woods began. Down a ravine, covered in bushes and brambles and tall, tall trees. In places the ground was mushy and moist with a small creek visible in some seasons, dry in others. Being in the woods was like being in another world - another universe. Listening to the wind in the trees, we climbed high up on the branches that we hoped wouldn’t break. We played tag and hide and seek through the tall grasses and underbrush, while bird calls squawked and serenaded our games. The smells and sounds of nature surrounded us and held us in a cocoon for hours of pretend play with no adult supervision or interference. The adults most likely didn’t even know exactly where we were at any given time. But somehow the mothers knew to stick their heads out of their back doors and yell their child’s name, and somehow, the faraway call was either heard or relayed into the deep woods where we were playing, and the friend whose mother was calling would leave with a “see ya later” and head home. There was a huge tree in the center of the woods that we called “Big Red”. It was prob-
ably a red maple, but I was too young at the time to know its real name. Big Red was always the central meeting spot and from there we would follow the paths we knew by heart. There was a pond in the center of the woods. Getting to it in the spring and summer meant finding solid pieces of ground or secure rocks to step on to avoid getting sucked down into the marshy muck that led down to the water’s edge. We actually thought it was quicksand and had genuine fears of being slowly swallowed down into oblivion never to be seen again. In the winter we spent cold afternoons skating on the frozen pond. Again, no adult supervision. Did anyone ever check the ice for a safe depth of thickness? We’d just grab our skates and go. We would even start a campfire next to the pond to warm ourselves. None of this seemed strange or dangerous at the time. One of my clearest memories in the woods took place on a summer afternoon when I was about 6 or 7. We were all in the woods, deep in play of some sort, when someone yelled, “Snake!” Everyone took off in a rush - running through the brush and trees through the muddy marsh and up the ravine towards the field. I began to run, too, but I wasn’t able to keep up. I saw the group of kids getting smaller and smaller as the distance between us grew. I imagined being left behind to be swallowed up by the giant serpent that I was sure must be emerging from the pond just behind me and slithering after me. Just as real panic began to set in, my brother, 2 years older, turned around and came back. He hoisted me up on his back and took off running. Although slowed significantly by my weight on his back, we made it safely out of the woods that day. I’ve been back to my old neighborhood and development has taken over. The original houses are still there, but they are enlarged and added onto, leaving very little green space. The corn and turnip field is now covered with new houses. The woods are gone - victim to a highway cutting through its heart. Whenever I drive on that highway I think about those long-ago days and the lessons learned in those carefree times. Self-reliance, getting along with others, exercising imagination and expressing creativity, learning to find our own fun in the simplicity of nature, and freedom to just be ourselves - to be kids. Two of my daughters and three of my grandchildren live in my old neighborhood. My grandchildren cannot have the same experiences that I had, but every generation has different circumstances and life experiences in which to learn life’s lessons. But I can tell them about the woods and the field that used to exist near their houses and maybe that’s enough. Enough to know that their Nana was a child once, who lived there, too, with stories to tell. Starting with a brother’s love for a little sister back when their neighborhood was a wooded sanctuary filled with the magic of childhood.

SAY YOU SAW IT IN THE REMINDER DID YOU KNOW? Early-onset dementia and Alzheimer’s disease in individuals under the age of 65 are on the rise. According to the Blue Cross Blue Shield Health IndexSM, roughly 131,000 Americans between the ages of 30 and 64 were diagnosed with early-onset dementia or Alzheimer’s disease in 2017. That’s a 200% increase since 2013. Diagnosis rates of individuals between the ages of 45 and 54 were especially high in 2017 compared to 2013. Within that age group in 2013, 2.7 out of every 100,000 people were diagnosed with early-onset dementia or Alzheimer’s disease. That number rose to 10.9 out of every 100,000 people in 2017, marking a 311 percent increase in just four years.

YOUR TAXES
SOCIAL SECURITY
by M E G C H E VA L I E R
by CHERYL TUDINO
SOCIAL SECURITY PUBLIC AFFAIRS SPECIALIST
Do you qualify for Social Security Spouse’s benefits?
Open and carefully read any mail from the IRS The IRS mails letters or notices to taxpayers for a variety of reasons including: • They have a balance due. • They are due a larger or smaller refund. • The agency has a question about their tax return. • They need to verify identity. • The agency needs additional information. • The agency changed their tax return. If a taxpayer receives an IRS letter or notice, they should: • Not ignore it. Most IRS letters and notices are about federal tax returns or tax accounts. The notice or letter will explain the reason for the contact and gives instructions on what to do. • Not panic. The IRS and its authorized private collection agencies generally contact taxpayers by mail. Most of the time, all the taxpayer needs to do is read the letter carefully and take the appropriate action.
Social Security benefits are a crucial part of millions of Americans’ retirement income. If you don’t have enough Social Security credits to qualify for benefits on your own record, you may be able to receive benefits on your spouse’s record. To qualify for spouse’s benefits, you must be one of the following: • 62 years of age or older. • Any age and have in your care a child younger than age 16, or who has a disability and is entitled to receive benefits on your spouse’s record. Your full spouse’s benefit could be up to one-half the amount your spouse is entitled to receive at their full retirement age. If you choose to receive your spouse’s benefits before you reach full retirement age, you will get a permanently reduced benefit. If you wait until you reach full retirement age to receive benefits, you’ll receive your full spouse’s benefit amount, which is up to one-half the amount your spouse can receive. You’ll also get your full spouse’s benefit if you are under full retirement age, but care for a child and one of the following applies:
• The child is younger than age 16. • The child has a disability and is entitled to receive benefits on your spouse’s record. If you’re eligible to receive retirement benefits on your own record, we will pay that amount first. If your benefits as a spouse are higher than your own retirement benefits, you will get a combination of benefits that equal the higher spouse benefit. For example, Sandy qualifies for a retirement benefit of $1,000 and a spouse’s benefit of $1,250. At her full retirement age, she will receive her own $1,000 retirement benefit. We will add $250 from her spouse’s benefit, for a total of $1,250. Want to apply for either your or your spouse’s benefits? Are you at least 61 years and nine months old? If you answered yes to both, visit www.ssa.gov/benefits/retirement to get started today. Are you divorced from a marriage that lasted at least 10 years? You may be able to get benefits on your former spouse’s record. You can find out more by visiting www.ssa.gov/planners/retire/divspouse.html for more information.
• Read the notice carefully and completely. If the IRS changed the tax return, the taxpayer should compare the information provided in the notice or letter with the information in their original return. In general, there is no need to contact the IRS if the taxpayer agrees with the notice. • Respond timely. If the notice or letter requires a response by a specific date, taxpayers should reply in a timely manner to: o avoid delays in processing their tax return o minimize additional interest and penalty charges o preserve their appeal rights if they don’t agree • Pay amount due. Taxpayers should pay as much as they can, even if they can’t pay the full amount. People can pay online or apply online for a payment agreement, including installment agreements, or an Offer in Compromise. The agency offers several payment options on IRS.gov. • Keep a copy of the notice or letter. It’s important that taxpayers keep a copy of all notices or letters with other tax records. They may need these documents later. • Remember there is usually no need to call the IRS. If a taxpayer must contact the IRS by phone, they should use the number in the upper right-hand corner of the notice. The taxpayer should have a copy of their tax return and letter when calling. Typically, taxpayers only need to contact the agency if they don’t agree with the information, if the IRS requests additional information, or if the taxpayer has a balance due. Taxpayers can also write to the agency at the address on the notice or letter. Taxpayer replies are worked on a first-come, first-served basis and will be

VID-19 pandemic imposed limits on inperson social interactions, we found new virtual ways to be with family, friends, and our community, thus avoiding isolation. We can keep those virtual connections going even as we finally get out and about.
Based on current brain research, vetted by AARP’s GCBH and AARP’s Staying Sharp program, scientists have identified 6 Lifestyle Pillars that support brain health.
The sixth pillar is Eating Right. What you eat has a big impact on your brain. A brainhealthy diet limits meat and sweets and emphasizes fish, nuts, beans, grains, leafy green vegetables, and healthy fats such as olive oil.
The first is Engage Your Brain, or learn new things. This doesn’t need to be academic learning. Just stimulate your brain by staying curious, pursuing new interests, and challenging your thinking. Some examples are reading, taking classes, learning a musical instrument or language, and practicing complex crafts.
• Complete range of the most advanced laboratory tests

As we live longer, the risk for cognitive decline does increase. And this has people worrying more than ever about their own risk for dementia and memory loss. Indeed, the 2021 AARP Vital Voices Survey found that 93% of Rhode Islanders surveyed reported that staying mentally sharp is extremely or very important -- the number one health concern cited by respondents. Fortunately, when it comes to brain health, we’re learning more about what really works – and the good news is that so much of it is in our control. Join AARP Rhode Island on June 2 at 10 am at a free a Tele-Town Hall to learn about the latest brain health research and ask your questions. Our guest will be Sarah Lenz Lock, Executive Director of the Global Council on Brain Health (GCBH), an independent collaborative convened by AARP. Partnering with AgeUK to expand its international reach, the GCBH gathers groups of top scientists, doctors, scholars and policy experts from around the world to create scientific reviews with evidencedbased recommendations in understandable context. Since 2016, the GCBH has published reports (the latest, on “How To Sustain Healthy Behaviors”, was released in March) answering some of the most common questions people have about how to keep their brains healthy.

Managing Stress is the third pillar. Stress management includes regular exercise, smiling and laughing, distracting ourselves with music and reading, and spending time outdoors in green spaces. Other ways to manage stress are confiding in friends, quieting your mind, limiting screen time, and taking deep breaths. The fourth pillar is Ongoing Exercise, which doesn’t have to be extensive. Just get moving. Experts recommend at least 150 minutes of exercise per week, which can be broken down to 30 minutes per day, five days per week. Walking for endurance is the easiest way to start, but you also can incorporate strength training, flexibility, and balance activities into your exercise routine. Restorative Sleep, the fifth pillar, is essential to overall mental and physical health. Most adults need 7-8 hours of sleep in a 24-hour period. Sticking to a regular sleepwake schedule, even on the weekends, is recommended.
You’ll have the opportunity to learn more and ask your questions of Sarah Lenz Lock at AARP Rhode Island’s June TeleTown Hall. Mark your calendar for 10 a.m., Thursday, June 2. The event is free for AARP members and non-members. Register at www.aarp.org/RIEvents. I look forward to connecting with you! Catherine Taylor is AARP Rhode Island State Director.

ACCORDING TO DON by DON FOWLER
May I Help You? An Octogenarian’s Guide To Accepting Help Graciously “Excuse me Sir, may I help you?” She couldn’t have been more than twenty-one, and weighed all of 100 pounds. She had watched me struggling to get out of my seat as the movie ended. Offers of assistance are becoming more frequent as my age slows my body down. People are opening doors, steadying my arm, carrying my packages, and holding me steady, often without my even asking. Living on this earth for over 80 years does something to our sense of gravity. We walk slower, struggle to stand up straight, and are in danger of falling more frequently. My wife and I make quite a pair, she at 81, lugging around a portable oxygen tank, and me at 84, needing a cane to steady this body that only a couple of years ago played tennis twice a week. We are determined to stay as active as possible, doing our own shopping, dining out, and enjoying the arts. We are pleasantly surprised at the response of younger people-some much youngerwho insist on helping us up and down stairs and in and out of buildings. At first we resisted, but quickly succumbed to the cheerfully and sincerely given help. The slogan of the Boy Scouts is “Do a Good Turn Daily”, usually depicted by a Scout helping a little old lady across the street. We are fortunate to live on a neighborhood where our neighbors take the good turns seriously. One of the three neighbors with snow blowers is plowing out our driveway immediately after a snowstorm, while another is shoveling my porch and walks. His son cuts my lawn, refusing money until I insisted. We, too, can find ways to help our younger friends: Give advice and mentor, when asked. Offer to watch and feed pets or pick up mail and packages when neighbors go away. Keep an eye on their house. Clean out your “junk” and give that old baseball bat, sled, Boy Scout equipment, doll, to the neighbor’s kid. Surprise a teenager. Open a door for them.
How’s The Weather? More than politics, health and family, weather ranks number one on the list of topics discussed by seniors. Visitors to home-bound and hospitalized seniors are asked “How’s the weather outside?” even before they are asked “How are you?” The late Doug White once told me that surveys listed the weather as the number one reason people gave for watching TV news. There are 24-hour weather channels, weather blogs, and online sites. There are dedicated weather watchers in every corner of the globe. There are irritating television anchors who steal the professional meteorologists time and thunder, sharing their thoughts on the weather, and chastising them if the weather is bad, like it’s their fault. There are more weather reporters on the local news shows than news reporters. What’s the big deal? All you need to do is look out the window to see if it is raining or snowing.
Check to see if you lost any tree limbs or garbage cans and you’ll know if it is windy. Listen for snow blowers and you’ll know if it is snowing. Find your dog or cat in bed with you and you’ll know if it is thundering and lightning. Boy Scouts have the best way for telling the weather: The Weather Rock. They tie a rock to a hanging branch. If the rock is wet, it’s raining. If it is swinging back and forth, it’s windy. If covered with snow, it’s snowing. If dry and warm, it’s warm and sunny. My father had his own method. When a storm was brewing, his lumbago acted up. Rhode Island’s motto-Hope- is derived from “Hope the weather changes tomorrow.” And it will, because the follow up line is, ”If you don’t like the weather just wait until tomorrow”…when it will go from the forties to the seventies. More and more college students are choosing meteorology as their major, hoping to land a job standing in front of a blue screen, pointing out the weather on a non-existent map. Now, if the anchors would only shut up and let them do their job.
