Talented thirteen year old singer Alexis Clare McKinnon will be performing a concert at the Stadi-um Theater in Woonsocket on May 25, to benefit St. Mary's Home for Children.

With over 1,000 seats to fill, this will be her largest feature con-cert. Although, McKinnon has had thousands of eyes look her way be-fore, whilst performing the leading role in a production of Gian-Carlo Menotti's 1951 opera, “Amahl and

the Night Visitors.” Nine years old at the time, McK-

innon was the youngest singer to perform with Opera Providence. She knew the hour long composi-tion by heart, mouthing the words as other singers aspirated their parts.

The date is set for the Fourth Annual Watchemoket Square Day event in East Providence on Satur-day, October 4. This annual event is a celebration of East Providence’s past, present and future. The free event was created in 2011 by local businesspeople to bring awareness to the Watchemoket Square area of the City. As a result, more attention has been drawn to “The Square,” and the City has begun preliminary

studies to look into developing it into an arts and entertainment dis-trict.

The Watchemoket Square Day Committee is inviting anyone in-terested in helping with the event to join them at their next meeting on Monday, May 19 at 5:30pm. They will be meeting at Tockwotton on the Waterfront, 500 Waterfront

The number of new business entities created in the first quarter of 2014 rose compared to a year ago, ac-cording to data released today by the office of Secretary of State A. Ralph Mollis.

The first quarter of 2014 is up 4.35% from the first quarter of 2013.

From January through March 1st, 1,989 new business entities registered with the Secretary of State’s office; this is up over 4% compared to the first quarter of 2013, when 1,906 registered. In the first quarter of 2012, 1,976 new business entities registered.

“This is a clear sign the economy may be improving, so this should be viewed with optimism. The data shows entrepreneurs are confident in Rhode Island’s long-term potential, and are placing business roots right here in Rhode Island, where they know they can grow and be successful,” said Mollis.

Mollis tracks quarterly business filings because most newly formed business entities in Rhode Island choose a corporate structure that requires registering with his office. More than 70,000 limited liability companies

and for-profit and non-profit corporations are currently registered.

In addition to its work with start-ups, the Secretary of State's office also oversees recording commercial liens, registering notaries public and protecting corporate trademarks.

The Secretary of State’s office also offers free work-shops, both in English and Spanish to business own-ers to help them start, grow, manage and market their businesses. A full list of workshops can be found on our official website at: http://www.sos.ri.gov/business/businessinfo/workshops/

For more information about the programs and servic-es offered to Rhode Islanders by the Secretary of State’s office, please view our VIDEO: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DonlZEPrG-A and visit our website at www.sos.ri.gov

Secretary of State Mollis is committed to making it easier for Rhode Islanders to vote, making it easier to do business in Rhode Island and making government more open and accessible.

Barnes & Noble Warwick is pleased to host Peter Lerangis, for a reading and book signing for the release of his new book Seven Won-ders: Tomb of the Shadows on Mon-day, June 2nd at 7pm at Barnes & Noble located at 1350 Bald Hill Rd, Warwick.

Peter Lerangis is the author of more than one hundred and sixty books, which have sold more than five million copies and been trans-lated into thirty-three different lan-guages. His books include The Co-lossus Rises and Lost in Babylon in the New York Times bestselling Sev-en Wonders series, and two books in The 39 Clues series (The Sword Thief and The Viper's Nest).

Seven Wonders: Tomb of the Shadows is book three in Leragnis' Seven Wonders series for young readers. In the book, Jack McKinley and his friends defeated the Colossus of Rhodes, unearthed the treasures of the Hanging Gardens of Baby-lon, and recovered two of the seven lost Loculi-only to find they'd been betrayed. With Babylon in ruins, Marco on the Massa side, and ancient secrets coming unraveled, the Select don't know who to trust or where to turn. Their G7W pow-ers are growing at a furi-ous pace, their worlds have been turned upside down, and the Massa are hot on their heels. But Jack, Aly, and Cass have no choice but to fight on. With the fate of the world in the balance,

the friends find the next stop on their quest, where they have to face down their own demons and engage in an epic battle with foes long gone. When promises are broken, blood is spilled-and the Select have to destroy the one thing that might have saved them all. Join Jack, Marco, Aly, and Cass in their quest to save the world and themselves in this third install-ment of the bestselling adventure series from master storyteller Peter Lerangis.

Barnes & Noble Warwick is also pleased to coordinate appearances by Lerangis at Garden City Elemen-tary in Cranston and at Father John V. Doyle in Coventry during the day. Mr. Leragnis will be conducting a special presentation for the students during these visits.

For additional information or to pre-register for this event, please contact Katie Rendine, Community Relations Manager at 401.826.8885 or [email protected].

A former state orphanage site on the Rhode Island College campus was the setting Monday (May 5, 2014) for a gathering of former foster children and others dedicated to finding loving homes for children in need, particu-larly older children.

“Because two Rhode Islanders cared enough to open their home and heart to me, I was given a chance and I took it,” said Michelle Saunders of Rumford, Rhode Island, who has a master’s degree in adult education from the University of Rhode Island and a bachelor of science in market-ing from Johnson & Wales Univer-sity. “Give a child in need a chance. That’s all he or she is asking for. Please consider becoming a foster parent.”

The “Yellow Cottage” at Rhode Island College (RIC) in Providence, “is the last original building of the state orphanage complex that was in operation from 1885-1979,” ac-cording to documentation on the college’s website. Research on the website published as part of the “State Home & School Project” at RIC states the complex “was one of America’s first post-Civil War pub-lic orphanages.”

Family Service of Rhode Island con-

vened the press conference as part of the observance of Foster Care Month in Rhode Island, as proclaimed by Governor Lincoln D. Chafee as part of the National Foster Care Month observance. “Today, our focus is par-ticularly on the need for Rhode Is-landers to open their hearts and homes to older foster children,” said Sarah Kelly-Palmer, LICSW, senior clini-cal administrator at Family Service of Rhode Island.

Lynne Bates, of Tiverton, Rhode Island, served as a foster mom to an older foster child, later adopting her. “I ask Rhode Islanders to remember the older foster child. He or she needs what has been termed a ‘forever fam-ily’ because parenting doesn’t stop at age 18.” Her adopted daughter, Lana, thanked her adoptive mother for wel-coming her into her home.

“They saw me through my high school years and adopted me when I turned 18,” said Lana, who was wel-comed into the Bates home as a foster child when she was 12. She called her adoptive mother “a true community hero.” Lana works in the medical field and is pursuing a business degree at the Community College of Rhode Island.

Family Service of Rhode Island and

other foster care agencies across the state have a waiting list of children needing foster homes. “We have older children living in group homes when they should be in foster homes,” said Jen Etue, who runs Family Service of Rhode Island’s foster care program. The children were removed from their homes due to physical abuse, parent

drug and alcohol abuse and other rea-sons.

She pointed out that foster par-ents can be married, single, straight, gay and lesbian. More information about foster parenting is available at www.familyserviceri.org, by calling 401-331-1350 ext. 3305 or emailing [email protected].

Google can’t find everything. Over the past forty-five years, Scholarship Foundation of East Provi-dence (formerly Citizens’ Scholarship Foundation of East Providence) has administered scholarships to more than 3,000 residents of East Providence. Like many Rhode Islanders, a good number of those re-cipients have stayed in the area. Others have made their mark across the country.

Past recipients include the writer and first woman director of an Oscar-award winning Disney animat-ed film, Frozen, the co-host of WPRI-TV’s Rhode Show, a former mayor of the city and a former in-terim superintendent of East Providence schools. Teachers and staff at East Providence elementary, middle and high schools have benefited from our scholarships. Police officers, lawyers, doctors, nurs-es, accountants, artists and chefs who work in the city and the area have been assisted by Scholarship Foundation of East Providence.

In celebration of their forty-fifth year of service to the community, members of SF of East Providence are seeking to locate as many past recipients as pos-sible. As recipients marry and change their name or move out of state, it becomes difficult to maintain contact.

“Our goal is to locate as many recipients as possible and find out what they are doing now, “ stated Louise Paiva of SF of East Providence. Past recipients and parents of past recipients who received scholarships through Scholarship Foundation of East Providence since 1968 are asked to contact Louise Paiva with news about their current address and profession at 401-433-3463 or at [email protected].

Calling all past scholarship recipients

In the United States, 3.4 million pounds of unwanted or unused prescription drugs have been surrendered since the first take back event in September 2010. In East Providence, 330 pounds which equates 10 large boxes, were alone collected on Saturday, April 26 at the East Providence Police Station. According to East Providence Coalition board members whom were present, in the first seven minutes of the event, two boxes were filled.

"These take-back events highlight the prob-lems related to prescription drug abuse and provide a unique and meaningful service to our citizens. While we continue to finalize a uniform system for prescription drug disposal, we will continue to sponsor these take-back opportunities and give Americans the opportu-nity to contribute to the solution," states DEA Administrator Michele M. Leonhart in a news

release.According to the DEA, the majority of pre-

scription drugs are obtained from family and friends, including from the home medicine cabinet. The take-back events are designed to give people an environmentally friendly way to dispose of their medications, without hav-ing to flush them down the toilet or throwing them in the trash. In recent years, medications have been found in the nation's water supplies, and have been retrieved from the trash by peo-ple who want to abuse or sell them.

The most recent Take-Back event was a col-laboration between the East Providence Police Department, the East Providence Prevention Coalition (EPPC) and the DEA. For the date and locations of the next Prescription Drug Take-Back Event, visit the DEA website at www.deadiversion.usdoj.gov.

Watchemoket Square (pronounced Watch-uh-Mocket or Watch-Moe-ket) began near Bold Point and was used by the Wampanoag Indians to cross the Seekonk River to what is now Provi-dence. Watchemoket is an Indian word meaning the proximity of the river and the tidal marsh… with the feel and smell of the area.

In the early years of East Providence, which was then known as Rehoboth, Massachusetts, the site was the best place to cross the river. In 1793,

John Brown of Providence built a bridge from Fox Point (Providence) to Bold Point. In 1885, an iron bridge was built which led to development in the area; including an inn followed by over one hundred businesses. By 1906, Watchemoket Square became the central business district of East Providence and covered approximately nine acres of land in the central section of the town. In 2012, the City acquired the Odd Fellows Hall on Warren Avenue (Rt. 6) and is pursuing plans to have it restored. It is on the National Register of Historic Places.

For more information about the event visit the Watchemoket Square Facebook page, or to join the Event Committee, please contact co-chairs: Wendy Wood, Wood’s Heating, at (401) 434-1487 or Laura McNamara, East Providence Area Chamber of Commerce at (401) 438.1212.

Like many people, you might not particularly enjoy thinking about your estate plans, but such planning is necessary to make sure your assets go where you want them to go. And it’s just as important to regularly re-view your plans with your tax, legal and financial professionals in case any changes are needed. For instance, some of your wishes expressed in your will may be overridden by ben-eficiary designations you filled out years ago. If these designations be-come outdated, your assets could be passed to those you didn’t intend.

You might be surprised at how many of your financial assets and legal doc-uments have beneficiary designations tied to them. If you have an IRA, a 401(k) or other employer-sponsored retirement plan, a life insurance pol-icy, an annuity, a transfer-on-death (TOD) arrangement, or any of a va-

riety of other assets or accounts, you almost certainly named a beneficiary. And this beneficiary designation of-fers a simple, direct and efficient way to get assets in the hands of your loved ones who survive you.

However, as time goes by, you may experience many changes in your life — and when your life changes, your beneficiary designations may need to follow. But if you are like many people, you might forget to update these designations after a marriage, divorce or other change in your fam-ily situation. And because the benefi-ciary designation is a legally binding document, the asset will go to the person you once named as a benefi-ciary, regardless of your current rela-tionship status.

It really doesn’t take much effort to look over your accounts and le-gal arrangements to ensure that your

beneficiary designations are current — and if they aren’t, it’s pretty easy to change them. In fact, for some fi-nancial accounts, you may be able to update the beneficiary designations online. In any case, plan on review-ing your beneficiary designations regularly, but especially when you experience a change in your life.

Here’s one more thing to keep in mind: Make sure your current ben-eficiaries are informed that they will eventually be receiving your 401(k), IRA, life insurance proceeds or other assets that require a beneficiary des-ignation. This advance knowledge may help your loved ones as they plan and maintain their own financial and investment strategies.

Although it’s clearly important for you to update your beneficiary desig-nations and to communicate your ac-tions, you will still need to attend to

other areas of your estate planning, such as providing care for minor chil-dren or dependents, deciding who you want to receive specific items that do not carry a beneficiary designation, naming someone to manage your af-fairs should you become incapacitated, and specifying the control you wish your beneficiaries to have over their inheritance. These are just a few exam-ples of estate-planning considerations.

Because everyone’s situation is dif-ferent, you will need to consult with your legal advisor to determine the level of estate planning you require. As we’ve seen, updating your benefi-ciary is one piece of the puzzle — but to leave the legacy you desire, you’ve got to complete the picture.

One touch of nature makes the whole world kin. Shake-speare

My neighbor has pine trees along my north side. My day lilies now have only half a day of sunlight and moss has taken over the lawn in that area. Should I move the day lilies? Sue, Beckley, WV

If you do not want to suffer remorse, let the situation dictate your alternatives. You could apply sour milk to kill the moss or slow the growth with the lime. The pines will not stop growing and providing too much shade for your day lilies. Move the lilies now while they are not in flower to a sunny location. You could cultivate the bed they are in now. Moss is a good green manure but you will get more blooms in the sun.

My eight year old heather plant bs about three feet across. It is all mushy on the interior with brown and gray foliage. Should I try to save it? Mike, Montville, CT

You could use a fungicide after pruning severely. Re-move all material that is not green. Use Bordeaux mix if you prefer organic. Benlate is an excellent fungicide.

I would say it is a 50% chance of survival. Because you have a shallow water table in your area, you might consider transplanting to a new hole with a third sand in the new soil. Put a foot of the new soil under the plant. This will help provide good drain-age, which the plant prefers.

It has quickly turned hot and my irises have about three inches of rust at the tops.

Can I cut them now? George, Boaz, AL

Most of the country has experienced a cold wet win-ter. Fungi are running ram-pant as snow and frost melt.

Cut them down to two inches from the ground. Dust with Bordeaux mix and replant them with a sandy soil mix. Irises should be split every three years anyway. This will make them more prolific.

My night blooming Cereus cactus has not produced much flower this past bear. I use a liquid fertilizer and keep the plant on the dry side. Any suggestions? Mike, Cranford, NJ

No one is fertilizing in the desert, where the temps get really cold at night. Some specie like Selenicereus gran-diflorus bloom only once a year with a splendid flower. Stop treating your cactus with all that TLC. What it really needs is prolonged nights around 45 degrees in the fall. This is best accomplished by leaving the plant outdoors

until the buds set. This will bring some serious blooms.What can I do with my Narcissus after they have fin-

ished blooming indoors? Vivian, Harrisville, RIStore them in a brown paper bag or in sawdust just as

you would your tulips from outdoors after they die back. Remove all the fibrous root and cut off the tops. Let them sun dry for a couple of days before putting them in a cool dry place for storage. In the fall you can plant them with your daffodils and other Dutch bulbs.

“You do it because it helps you in the long run,” said Alexis, a remarkable attitude for a young person, who shares with her genera-tion the attention span shortening obsession with social media. However, McKinnon isn't inextricably tied to her generation, listing off artists nonchalantly from contemporary to classical, opening up an historic globe of

tones. Concerning opera she said, “Nobody lis-

tens to it anymore. It's kind of sad. This gen-eration doesn't appreciate it.”

Her concert will open with opera, then ta-per into r&b and pop tunes, songs by favor-ites Whitney Huston, Maria Carey and Mi-chael Jackson among others.

Incredible aerialists from Arielle Arts will be clinging to silk cloths and contorting their bodies in aerobic poses as part of the show.

An important part of the concert for this insightful young woman is the cause: St Mary's Home for Children.

“Being a kid, I want-ed to give back to them,” she said. “We wanted to help.”

St. Mary's offers resi-dential, out-patient and educational support for children who have suf-fered traumatic abuses or are afflicted with so-cio-emotional learning disabilities –– uphold-ing the values of fam-ily, trust, understand-ing, acceptance and respect.

out into the communities to serve them for the better. One branch picked up their trowels and sheers for some spring clean-ing in the gardens of The Center.

Rakes combed through grass, pulling up the scents of musky leaves left over from the fall. Backpack gas powered blowers cleared the sidewalks of debris. In the early air of the season, fruit flies buzzed around budding growth on young branches. Be-neath these, volunteers were on hands and knees ridding the mulch of weeds.

“We look forward to it,” said agent Kim Foley. “It makes the office closer. The ca-maraderie tightens. It's a great event. We love it.”

The auburn, wood slatted building with forest green trim was surrounded by busy

workers. In the window of the back room, members of The Center could be seen in chairs doing the wave, lifting their arms in the air, then touching the ground.

“It's a great company to work for,” said Marilyn Boyce, a seven year veteran with the company. “Their priorities are in the right place.”

Boyce illustrated that the Red Day event was a birthday present to Keller Williams a few years back. She wanted people to get out and give to the community.

The team was at it all day. Once the yard was all cleaned up, they headed to Mobile Loaves and Fishes in Cranston, serving food to the homeless at Harrington Hall.

Evelyn Ranone, team leader for the ex-pedition, estimates over 1 million hours of community service were logged on Red Day from all the agents worldwide. That's a sizable helping hand.

DINING Guide

May 16 - May 29, 2014

DINING GuideBy DANA BROWN

ndrea Soave Nadeau was the highest ranking fe-male chef in Providence. For fifteen years she was the chef-de-cuisine at Camille's on Federal Hill. At the top of her game, she opted out of the chef's life and opened up a boutique, Carina & Dolce, on the corner of Plainfield St. and Atwood Ave. in Cranston.

Nadeau makes custom cakes and cookies for events. After being replaced at Camille's when a bro-ken foot forced an extended medical leave, Nadeau used the opportunity to build up Carina & Dolce. It allowed her to nurture a natural talent for pastry arts and to spend more time with her family.

“The reason why this is here,” she said, tussling her four year old son's hair. He ate the frosting off a miniature sample cupcake while she asked him about soccer practice. Behind them, light filtered through the pink curtains of Carina & Dolce's front window.

“I decided to give this 100 percent,” Nadeau said. Instead of being a chef, who must always put the restaurant first, working inhuman hours while pio-neering recipes, she chose to be an entrepreneur. In addition to cakes and cookies, Nadeau specializes in edible printing, favors, novelty pastries, french mac-aroons, cupcakes, and cake pops.

“Keep it nice and classy,” Nadeau said. Using high-end practices for a gourmet style product, she'll use real butter cream, rather than crisco or shortening, to get just the flavor she wants.

Nadeau and her husband, also a former chef, would go out to dinner and play a tasting game, trying to figure out how to recreate dishes from a few bites.

With an eye for interior design, the small, unas-

suming shop bears Nadeau's impeccable imprint, the contrasting bright colored origami hanging on dark wood walls, the displays of elegantly laced cookies and towering birthday cakes, the rainbow of flowers from Atwood Greenhouses for opening day, Saturday the 3rd of May.

Exclusively open on weekends, it's a cozy place to meet and sit down with Nadeau to discuss designs and try samples that are always available, like the bite sized red velvet cupcakes with cream cheese frosting.

From turtle, crab and starfish cupcakes, to sharp teeth and many eyed monster cookies, superhero tower birthday cakes, to burger and Dr. Pepper fon-dant cakes, she's capable of transforming any theme into something delicious.

“You should make it your own,” Nadeau said. “Life events, milestones should have your stamp on them.”

Round faced cook-ies with light pink and baby blue caps were baby shower ready. Mo-ments like first commu-nions, sweet sixteens and quinceaneras, Nadeau tries to crystallize and preserve through beau-tiful images and sensa-tions.

Nadeau looks for that whimsical twist to make a cake more than just a pastry. Like the mus-

tache and thick red lipped cupcakes in the front win-dow –– opting not for the heart and cupid Valentine's, she went for the theme, “I mustache you a question. Will you marry me?”

“She makes everything possible,” said her right hand, Hugo Echevarria. “The great thing about her is she likes to teach. She's easy going and patient.”

“I pride myself on my reputation,” Nadeau said. “It bothers me when someone's not happy. I really internalize it.”

This dedication to people is the heart of Carina & Dolce. Nadeau has carved a niche for herself, taking the freedom of entrepreneurship and using it to keep an eye on her family, to support the local community, to make people happy with the things she crafts with her hands.

AtTip of the week: Maybe laughter is the best medicine

Laughing literally makes us feel better. It is im-possible to be sad, angry or anxious while laugh-ing.

If you have forgotten how to laugh, use the tips below to get started and lighten up:

• Smile. When you look at someone or see some-thing even mildly pleasing, practice smiling.

• Count your blessings. Considering the good things in your life will distance you from negative thoughts that are a barrier to humor and laughter.

• When you hear laughter, move toward it. People are generally very happy to share something funny because it gives them an opportunity to laugh again. When you hear laughter, ask, “What’s so funny?”

• Spend time with fun, playful people. These are people who laugh easily and find the humor in everyday events. Their playful point of view and laughter are contagious.

• Bring humor into conversations. Ask people, “What’s the funniest thing that ever happened to you?”

Recipients of the 2014 Civic Leadership Award

The new exhibit at State Archives titled, Fun in Little Rhody, is a retrospective of recreational activities of residents and tourists from images of the holdings of the Rhode Island State Archives.

Photographs and memorabilia from vacation destina-tions and activities highlighted in the Fun in Little Rho-dy exhibit include, a riverboat in Scituate, fish weighing scales at the US Atlantic Tuna Tournament at Point Judith, the Warwick Musical Tent, and much more.

Local movie maker, David Bettencourt's movie "You Must be This Tall" a documentary on Rocky Point, will also be featured at the exhibit, for all to watch and enjoy.

Secretary Mollis hopes everyone will try to make an ef-fort to come down to State Archives to see the new exhibit. "This is one of those exhibits that makes you feel good when you see it. Memories from childhood will no doubt come flooding back to anyone looking at old photographs of Crescent Park in Riverside, or some of the early days at Rocky Point, where so many of us spent summer days having the time of our lives," said Mollis.

Additionally, the exhibit features examples of promo-tional materials from the Secretary of State's Bureau of Information, plans of the Metropolitan Park Commission, postcards highlighting popular venues and plat maps of well-known tourist destinations

"Fun in Little Rhody" is FREE and open to the public at State Archives, 337 Westminster Street in Providence, weekdays from 8:30a.m.- 4:30p.m. through August 31st.

The exhibit is also viewable and on display on the Sec-retary of State's online virtual exhibits at sos.ri.gov/virtu-alarchives.

Rhode Island State Archives’ new exhibit ‘Fun in Little Rhody’

Family Service of Rhode Island recently con-cluded a community drive to assist needy veter-ans and their families. Many boxes of personal care items—such as toothpaste and shaving cream—were brought by community members to several Family Service of Rhode Island loca-tions.

“The response was terrific,” said Margaret Holland McDuff, Family Service of Rhode Is-land chief executive officer. “We are so thankful to the people of Rhode Island for this wonderful support of our men and women in uniform and their families.”

The campaign was headed by former Army sergeant Jeanne M. Sherman, MEd, CAGS, LMHC, clinical supervisor of Family Service of Rhode Island’s Children’s Treatment and Recovery Center, which works with military

families with past, current or upcoming de-ployments.

Collected items were put into tote bags by the American Red Cross Youth Council and given to veterans in need as part of their “Totes of Hope” drive. “We are so thankful for Family Service of Rhode Island’s community outreach,” said Jason Campagnone, director of volunteer resources for the American Red Cross in Connecticut and Rhode Island. “Many thanks to all who brought in the items to Family Service of Rhode Island. They’ll never know, but their kindness and gen-erosity will make a tremendous difference to vet-erans and their families.
