We assembled a Diversity Task Force that helped us make the case that our growing diversity gives us a competitive advantage by helping us attract and retain the best talent, keep us innovative, and ahead of the curve.

• The procedure is usually done in-office, and it involves the placement of sutures with bidirectional
cones to reposition and elevate the skin.
• The sutures, which stimulate collagen production that aids in the renewal of your skin, are
absorbed by your body naturally over time.
• The treatment is comfortable, requires only local anesthesia and typically takes about 45 minutes.
• You will see results right away and recovery time is minimal.
• The Silhouttee Instalift in combination with our other treatments has given us the opportunity to
effectively treat specific areas including facial laxity, jowls, fatty collections and areas of deflation.

PRE-MEMORIAL DAY
Celebration
AT COURTESY KIA!
Photos courtesy of Nicole Church, N2 Staff
Folks began RSVP’ing a week in advance for
the recent Pre-Holiday Celebration, hosted
by Courtesy Kia on Newport Avenue in
South Attleboro. General Manager Steve Silva and
the Courtesy Kia staff put together a fantastic array
of food, drinks, giveaways, and even restaurant gift
cards to kick-off the Memorial Day weekend. Many
neighborhood residents, guests, and publication
sponsors were on hand to enjoy the festivities!
Courtesy Kia, who you’ll recognize from the inside
back cover of the publication each month, enlisted
the catering cuisine from Checkers restaurant in
Pawtucket. Checkers provided a fantastic spread
of fried fish, broiled jumbo shrimp, rice pilaf, and a
number of tantalizing desserts. Our hosts actually
removed vehicles from their showroom to pro-
vide cozy table seating inside the showroom floor.
General Manger Steve Silva was on hand not only
to greet and meet guests, but also joined them in
a wonderful Memorial Day celebration meal. The
spread was so delicious and plentiful that many
guests were able to take some home!
Silva and Courtesy Kia, who have been support-
ers of East Side Living since 2013, gave away four
$50.00 gift cards to Checkers restaurant in Paw-
tucket to guest attendees. Other Sponsors such
as Steven Hickey of Hickey & Associates provided
goodie bag giveaway items; as did Mary Brennan,
New York Life Agent and new Sponsor. Other
Sponsors on hand to support the residents and
publication included: Jeaninne Magliocco, Principal
of the Henry Barnard School at Rhode Island Col-
lege and her husband, Paul, David Resendes of ADR
Landscaping, Bruce Jupiter of Jupiter Home In-
spections, and Jennifer Dantzler of ID Shield theft
protection services. Thanks also goes out to BankRI
for providing the gift bags for our guests!
8. East Side Living • July 2016 July 2016 • East Side Living14 15
N2 staff members on hand included Nicole Church,
Publisher of Water’s Edge, the N2 publication for
the residents of Barrington, and Rose Ferreira-Zia,
the Publisher who recently launched an N2 resi-
dent publication in Padanaram, Dartmouth, MA.
Courtesy Sales staff members including Keith
Lopes and others helped answer questions, and
show people around their new sprawling dealership
on Newport Avenue, located a quarter mile past
Cardi’s Furniture, headed north on Rte. 1A. Cour-
tesy offered guests the opportunity to sit in and test
drive the cars, and even gave our guests a gift cer-
tificate for a free oil change and lube, 27 multi-point
inspection, and free car wash.
You’ll also recognize Silva from the television com-
mercials and radio spots that air frequently in the
market. Courtesy’s motto is, “If you bought any-
where else, you paid too much!” Courtesy Kia and
General Manager Steve Silva display why building
relationships and providing top – quality customer
service are paying big dividends in their Kia sales
and service practices. Their 10 year/100,000 mile
warranty is above and beyond anything else offered
in the industry.
Given the enormous outpouring of caring, shar-
ing, courtesy and follow-up service, you can’t beat
seeing our wonderful friends and neighborhood
supporters over at Courtesy Kia. What a way to
kick-off a fantastic summer!

ASSOCIATION
AUCTION
A l z h e i m e r ’ s
around town & neighborhood news
A fun and successful auction was held to raise
awareness and financial support for the Rhode
Island chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association.
600 People Gather on March 31 for
Alzheimer’s Caregivers & Healthcare
Professionals 6th Annual
Caregivers Journey
The Alzheimer's Association Rhode Island Chapter
held its sixth annual Caregiver's Journey Confer-
ence for both caregivers and professionals united
by their concern and dedication to provide quality
care for people with Alzheimer's disease and other
forms of dementia. This event brought together
more than 600 Alzheimer's caregivers, consum-
ers and healthcare professionals to learn about
Alzheimer's disease. At the conference, they were
able to attend a keynote address, learn the lat-
est research, talk to experts in the field, attend 21
workshops (including a yoga session), and visit
52 exhibitors. The Alzheimer’s Association also
offered an Adult Day Program to persons living
with Alzheimer's and other related dementia. This
unique conference offering allowed caregivers to
attend, knowing their loved one could enjoy their
day as well.
Today, 5.4 million Americans are living with
Alzheimer’s disease. By 2050, up to 16 million will
have the disease.
• Nearly half of care contributors – those who are
caregivers of someone with Alzheimer’s and/or
contribute financially to their care – cut back on
their own expenses to pay for dementia-related care of a family
member or friend.
• On average, care contributors lose over $15,000 in annual
income as a result of reducing or quitting work to meet the
demands of caregiving.
• In total, 15.9 million family and friends provided 18.1 billion
hours of unpaid care in 2015 to those with Alzheimer’s and
other dementias. That care had an estimated economic value of
$221.3 billion.
This year, along with our keynote address by well recognized
Alzheimer's Expert Trainer, Kelly McCarthy, B.S., our National
Alzheimer's Association CEO, Harry Johns, joined us as our
guest speaker, discussing the future of our vital research efforts
throughout the world. On the eve of the conference, the Al-
zheimer's Association Board of Directors hosted a
conversation titled "Transforming the Alzheimer's
Disease Cause" with Harry Johns at the Waterman
Grille in Providence. Researchers, physicians, and
professionals in the health care industry attended
this networking event to learn more about the
public policy advances achieved by the Associa-
tion, such as the National Alzheimer's Project Act
and the creation of the National Alzheimer's Plan
as required by the Act. "Discussion can change the
outcomes of disease. At the Alzheimer's Associa-
tion, we have raised the public discussion of the
disease to a level it has never been," said Harry.
"There is no more powerful voice than individuals
with the disease and their caregivers. They can help
change the very course of this disease."

A Community School Reinvigorates
Community
On the East Side there are many choices for
preschool, from small early childhood centers to
larger independent schools. Sometimes, though, it’s nice to travel
just a little further to see what other options are available.
Last month I had the opportunity to visit the new home of Mon-
tessori Community School of Rhode Island (MCSRI). This school,
serving children ages 18 months to 6 years, has a unique mission
to be “a socio-economically diverse school that inspires children
to cultivate confidence, inner discipline, a love of learning, and a
spirit of connectedness.”
Founder and Head of School Amy Borak explains that the school
is committed to maintaining its socioeconomic and cultural diver-
sity, making Montessori education a viable option for all families.
The school’s close proximity to the hospitals and the jewelry
district means that it enrolls families from all parts of the city.
Located on the South Side in a former apartment building and
adjacent garage, the structure itself is inspiring. Designed and
built by From[In]Form Studio, whose principals earned their
Masters of Architecture from the Rhode Island School of Design,
the sustainably-built school brightens the residential street and
incorporates color and natural light throughout the interiors.
Ms. Borak worked with the architects to preserve the original
hardwood floors and maintain a homelike feel for her faculty and
students. Former resident David Kelman, whose grandfather built
the original family homestead in the 1920s, was so thrilled by its
transformation that he was inspired to come in from West Hart-
ford, CT to attend the grand opening of the school.
Mr. Kelman had learned of the school from his brother Daniel,
who dropped by the building last summer before the opening. He
was delighted with the renovations and the knowledge that MC-
SRI would bring life back to Stanwood Street, which his family
had watched fall into neglect over the years.
On the day I visited, the joy and warmth of the school was appar-
ent. Children in both the toddler and preschool classrooms were
engaged with their activities, with one another and with their
teachers. The school has the feel of a home, rather than an insti-
tution; small child-sized doors, sinks, and even toilets encourage
both cooperation and independence.
In the main lobby, there is a kitchen (for cooking together, of
course!) and a living room space in which teachers and parents
can relax, work, and converse. The outdoor play area is a natural
playscape, with logs and stumps for climbing on and jumping off.
Repurposed sliding garage doors allow the easy reconfiguration
of spaces within the classrooms, and windows incorporated from
the school’s former location lend a sense of history.
As parents arrived to pick up their children for dismissal, they
smiled and chatted with one another. Students skipped down
the sidewalk, excitedly talking and gesturing. This is a vibrant,
diverse community, and the joy of the school is infectious. In to-
day’s social climate, when neighbors can be mistrustful of people
unlike themselves, MCSRI is reinvigorating the community:
building connections among parents, children and neighbors.

taxmatters
Written and submitted by: Richard Streitfeld, Resident, CPA, ALSD & CO.
what’s the
use tax?
You know about sales tax. But did
you know about state "use tax."
If you did and you ignored it, you
have plenty of company. But now,
Rhode Islanders – especially busi-
nesses – need to understand and account for it.
Use tax is essentially sales tax that does not get
charged at the point of purchase by the vendor. As
a Rhode Island business, I pay 7% sales tax on the
computer I bought at the Apple Store at the mall.
Now I go on Amazon and order the same computer
and they do not impose sales tax.
Neat! Except that, by law, if you are a Rhode Is-
land business (or resident) the sales tax – known
in these circumstances as a " use tax" – applies to
eligible items, even if you buy them out of state
or online.
And yes, Mr. Mad in Manville, most states that charge
sales tax impose a use tax as well. Yes, Incensed in
Ipswich – that applies to Massachusetts, too.
Then how does one report and pay this annoying
tax? For individuals, you are expected to report
and pay when you submit your personal tax re-
turns. For businesses, accountability/exposure is
higher and the state is actively auditing businesses.
The state can go back up to six years if the com-
pany has not been filing use tax returns and impose
interest and penalties, as well as the underlying tax
due on items purchased for which sales tax was not
paid. Even if they do not find any material liability
it's an excruciating and time-consuming process –
akin to visiting a proctologist, some would say.
The state is offering businesses the opportunity
to "self-audit" and pay past amounts due, and in
return will waive penalties and some interest. But
in any case, our company has been recommending
that all companies begin to file use tax returns and
pay the liabilities due. We are happy to help you in
this process.

BENEFITS
Doggie
Have you ever thought what life as a dog would be
like? There would be good things like playing fetch,
going on long walks with owners who love you,
being able to sleep whenever you want, getting fed
and having your tummy rubbed.
Unfortunately, some dogs don’t get these same op-
portunities. More than 65,000 dogs are tormented
in United States labs every year. Dogs are the
favored species in toxicology studies in which they
force-feed dogs or have substances injected into
their bodies, which slowly poisons them. Some-
times these tests are for perfumes. Tons of dogs
are dying so a few people can smell better. Dogs
are just tortured by these tests that don't even have
direct human health benefits. The worst thing is
that after a dog is countlessly experimented on, it
is then killed after its use. Did you know that one of
the most commonly used breeds is a beagle? This
is because they are so small and friendly, and also
because they can be easily manipulated.
Recently my classmates and I did a mult-imedia
campaign on animal abuse and testing. We were
asked to take charge on an issue, either in our
school or in the world. We believe that it’s not only
unethical to experiment on animals, but that we
need to start taking action and sticking up for these
loving animals. Our goal was to raise money for the
SPCA (Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Ani-
mals). We promoted the issue by making Instagram
posts and Facebook pages. We also made a website,
flyers, and we had a bake sale. In total, we raised
$130.00 dollars. Along with this, we presented
information to different classes throughout the
school and informed them about animal testing and
why we think it’s not right.
I do feel that some tests are necessary (like cancer
research), but some, like testing perfume, are
meaningless. The least we can do for animals is to
help to protect them from these tests, as all they
do is make our lives better. Dogs are our fun, furry,
fabulous friends that provide us with so much!

With the cold of winter gone and Mother Nature’s
canvas ablaze with color, it’s time for the summer
heat to impact how Eastsiders spend their days.
Seniors specifically need to be cautious with the
heat and sun, as they are more susceptible to as-
sociated health risks. At Laurelmead Cooperative,
residents partake in many outdoor events including
walks on Blackstone Boulevard, gardening, vol-
unteering, lounging by the pool, and even outdoor
dining. Our staff is very observant to ensure that
residents and guests are taking all the necessary
summertime precautions.
For seniors on their own, here are a few sum-
mertime health tips that Laurelmead residents are
often reminded of by our staff:
Tip #1. Drink plenty of liquids so you can stay
properly hydrated. Plain water is always preferred
to caffeinated and alcoholic beverages.
Tip #2. If you have air conditioning, use it! If you
don’t please, go someplace that does like the mall,
grocery store, movies, restaurants or a friend’s
home. Try to stay in an air conditioned space dur-
ing extreme heat. A cool shower or bath could help
as well.
Tip #3. Dress for the occasion. Cotton is your
friend. Loose fitting, light colored clothes that re-
flect the sun are the best.
Tip #4. Carry sunblock with you or in your car, and
use liberally when out in the sun (SPF 30 or higher).
Tip #5. Nutrition is key. Enjoy nutritious meals
with plenty of fruits and vegetables found at
local farmers markets. Whenever possible, don’t
eat alone. Dine in the company of good friends
and family.
Staying fit and safe enables seniors to enjoy the won-
derful Rhode Island summers. There are so many
places to see and things to do. Laurelmead residents
are all around town making the most of life. Lau-
relmead is, after all, “Where Seniors LIVE!”

to learn more 401-273-9550.

to a long life experienced by those living at Lau-
relmead, please contact Craig Evans at cevans@

Communications, Providence Community Library
CousinsSubmitted by: Mike Fink, Professor of English & Journalism, Rhode Island School of Design
You've got your mom, that's pretty much
for sure. And then, with luck, your dad.
Maybe a sibling: I mean a sib; a bro or
a sis. There used to be scads of aunts
and uncles and godparents. But what
about cousins?
By now, in my lifetime, I have grandchil-
dren and in-laws and nieces and nephews
and all the rest, but again, what about cousins?
It's time I searched out the blur of the bonds. Well, I have my
Canadian cousins, both in Montreal and in Toronto. Before that,
in "Trois Rivieres." One, my eldest cousin, Rhoda, was a real
beauty, a star! She could have been a fancy French movie actress
in the 1950s, with her delicate features, elegant wardrobe, quiet
composure, fine manners, pixie hairdo, and sweet disposition.
Alas, by now, although comfortable and immaculately groomed,
she is quite blind! She doesn't look it, she engages you in con-
versation at the table as though she were studying your features,
but it is a courteous pose and that's all it is. Her daughter, her
son-in-law, her grandson and grand-daughter all graduated from
our own local Brown University and are doing very, very well in
life. They completely keep up the cousinly cordiality: I am proud
and happy and at peace with this facet of my family.
Then, there is my cousin Joel, who grew up right on my East Side
street, just a few houses uphill, but now resides in Texas and
rings me up on occasion. The most recent call was not cheerful.
He had developed a diabetic condition, "It's my own fault," he
said on the phone. He lost his legs! He was awaiting the crafting
and delivery of prosthetic limbs to free him from his wheelchair,
to relieve his son of the responsibility for his care, to get him up
and going again.
Our mutual shared first cousin, Sarah, lives in Maine, and has
already, long ago, lost her elder brothers. She lives alone in the
wondrous home of her late parents, both RISD painting majors and
alums. They left her the legacy of their studio output. She spends
her weekends mostly in the local hospital for the troubled in mind
and soul, as she grieves for the absence of her two brothers and her
father and mother, and searches for work and for friendship. She
calls me from time to time and graciously asks for my own broth-
ers and for my grown children and granddaughters.
I'm afraid I have to confess that I am, by nature and nurture, a
pseudo-mystical soul and person, searching, searching, search-
ing. I have that family in Toronto I only met once, on a pilgrimage
a decade ago, in quest of the relatives of a grandmother who died
before I was born. My paternal grandmother also passed away
long before I entered the scene, when my father was a very young
boy of four or five. I likewise
wrote letters to seek out a cousin
who might connect me to that bro-
ken branch of my tree.
My eldest aunt, who had been born
a twin, once confessed that yes, we
did have some cousins in Israel, but
never mentioned their names. A lost
cousin connection.
The lady, a second wife of my
grandfather, who served me as a sub-
stitute "bubby," a stand-in grandmother, and, in fact, was indeed
a "blood" relative, a major genetic resource, once, in a blur of
my memory, turned away from me in the little wicker love-seat
of their garden porch, to weep about the final loss of cousins
in Rumania during World War II. She had kept in touch with
them, and I hoard a small stash of photograph postcards of these
doomed denizens of the Old World of cousins left behind in the
process of our Americanization. Through the public schools, the
conditions of the Depression and the Duration and the Repres-
sion, the three decades of my childhood and youth, cousinhood
was a vanishing clan. A smudge, what I call a blur.
I saw a movie last year titled "The Lemurs of Madagascar" in
3-D, about the double species of primates exclusively dwelling
in an endangered environment. Farmers burned the habitat of
the "mouse" lemur, the size of my hand. Industrialists with their
globalized terrain cleared by bulldozers for factory use dimin-
ished, even destroyed, the deeper forests necessary to maintain
the population of the larger species of lemur, now on the brink
of total extinction. These, too are my cousins, in my sense of the
word and the term. We are left lonely in this human world of iso-
lation and gadgetry. And so, to end this silly essay, I cite my Bard
Will, with the line from the wise fool Polonius in "Hamlet," as
he advises his son Laertes to value his cousins, his connections.
"The friends thou hast, and their adoption tried, grapple them to
thy soul with hoops of steel!"
I'll leave it at that. Almost. But with a faint suggestion of a
sequel. I found out recently that my little finger has pointed to
an exotic cousinly forbear. I have, on the right hand, a "pinkie"
that is a bit twisted and will not lie flat and has a slight bump at
the palm. Hand surgeons declare – Google this and you will find
that this is a true tale – that the condition comes slowly, and later
in your life, and indicates that you are descended from....the Vi-
kings! The Swedes! The "Rus" who crafted elegant arcs to cross
the Steppes and trade with, and fight with, the east Europeans
at the Caspian and Black seas, as well as in Portugal and Spain
and the Near East (perhaps those boats included Noah's Ark?). I
sure don't look like any cousin of such adventurous Norsemen,
but from now on, when I work up the geographical courage to
drive east from the east side of our town all the way to the Viking
Tower or the Viking Hotel in Newport, I can lay a cousinly claim
on the Rhode Island mythic lore! I'll leave it at that.

During the summer months, Providence
Community Library (PCL) changes its cal-
endar to adapt to long weeks that are, for many
families, filled with camps and vacations. Even so,
there’s plenty to do at PCL, and what’s more, it’s all
free! The Summer Reading Program (SRP) is the
star attraction in the Children’s and Teens areas
but many regular, year-round youth programs
continue alongside the Summer Reading Program
at all our libraries. Examples at Rochambeau are
the Computer Game club, Baby books Storytime,
Zumba 4 Toddlers, Preschool Storytime, Rubix
cube club and Lego Club; at Fox Point, Cradles to
Crayons (a playgroup/story time for newborns to
3 years) continues on Monday mornings, as does
the drop-in chess club on Tuesdays from 3 PM to
5 PM. Also at Fox Point, kids and teens test their
wits every Friday from 3 PM to 5 PM by creating a
caption for a picture or comic. The winners receive
prizes and see the artwork featured on Fox Point’s
Facebook page!
Many PCL locations offer special programs and
events during July and August. If you have a child
who loves Chris Grabenstein’s action-filled myster-
ies featuring Mr. Lemoncello and the most amazing
library in all fiction, don’t miss Rochambeau’s all-day
games extravaganza, Mr. Lemoncello’s Library Olym-
pic Games! On July 13, from 9:30 AM to 5:45 PM,
young Olympians can register for four, book-based
competitions: The Very Very Literary Relay Race,
Mr. Lemoncello’s “Who’s Who” Wacky Word Search,
Dr. Zinchenko’s Zpectacular Zcavenger Hunt and
Cloudy with a Chance of Scrambles. There will be
prizes for champions and every child who partici-
pates will receive a special Mr. Lemoncello library
card. If children read all the books titles mentioned
in the book Mr Lemoncello’s Library Olympics over
the summer and record them on a card, they can
compete for more prizes!
On July 11, Rochambeau will host a bilingual, English-
Spanish production of William Shakespeare’s Romeo
& Juliet. Presented by Trinity Rep in collaboration
with Rhode Island Latino Arts, this is a 90 minute,
family friendly production. Please join us!
For more information about these and other PCL
programs at Rochambeau (708 Hope Street, 401-272-
3780), Fox Point (90 Ives Street, 401-331-0542) and all

July is both the height of summer and the height of the grilling
season. Colossal Shrimp have a nice “wow factor” for that special
occasion outdoor party, and are less expensive and easier to pre-
pare than lobster tails. Pairing the rich herbed butter taste with
a sweet or pickled salad is a great flavor contrast. The Sesame,
Tomato and Cucumber Salad we’ve included here has both sweet
and sour notes, and features tomatoes and cucumbers, which are
both at the height of freshness right now. We hope everyone has
a happy and healthy Fourth of July!
Grilled Colossal Shrimp with Herbed Butter
Serves 6-8
1-1 1/2 pounds Colossal Shrimp
1 stick salted butter, at room temperature
2 tablespoons chopped chives
1 tablespoon chopped tarragon leaves
1 clove garlic, minced
Dash of hot sauce
Freshly ground black pepper
Olive oil
Kosher salt
Lemon wedges, for garnish
Chive sprigs
Special equipment: skewers
If using wooden skew-
ers, soak them in water
while the grill preheats
and as you prepare the
butter mixture.
Preheat your grill to di-
rect medium-high heat.
In a small bowl blend
butter, chives, tarra-
gon, minced garlic, hot
sauce, and black pepper
with a rubber spatula.
Blend thoroughly. Cover
with plastic wrap and
reserve.
Insert a skewer down
the midsection of the
shrimp so that it lies flat. Repeat with additional shrimp on the
same skewer, making sure to leave a little space between each
one and space at each end for easier handling. Brush the shrimp
with olive oil and season with salt, to taste.
Grill shrimp on one side over medium high heat about five min-
utes. Turn the skewers over and spoon a generous tablespoon of
herbed butter over the shrimp. Grill for another four minutes, or
until shrimp are no longer translucent and have curled slightly.
Remove shrimp from the grill and serve with more herb butter
and lemon wedges. Garnish with chive sprigs.
Sesame, Tomato and Cucumber Salad
(Recipe Courtesy of Southern Living)
Serves 6
1 pound tomatoes, thinly sliced crosswise
½ cup thinly sliced English cucumber
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 ½ teaspoons granulated sugar
2 medium scallions, dark green parts only, thinly sliced
1 medium serrano or jalapeno chile, thinly sliced crosswise
2 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds
¼ teaspoon flaky sea salt (such as Maldon)
¼ teaspoon black pepper
Arrange tomato and cucumber slices on a platter. Whisk
together the soy sauce, vinegar, olive oil and sugar in a small
bowl until sugar dissolves. Drizzle two tablespoons of dressing
over tomatoes and cucumbers, and top with scallions, chile and
sesame seeds. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Serve immediately
with remaining dressing.
As always, you can find all the ingredients for this recipe at East-
side Marketplace. Tell Mike we sent you. And it would go very well
with a crisp Chardonnay from Bottle's, Fine Wine and Spirits.
