At nine in the morning on May 8, the grounds of Lincoln's Senior Center were spotted with bright red. Shrubs, mulch, leaf piles, grass, trees, plant-ers, all bearing the mark of these red figures, the Keller Williams Realty em-ployees in their Red Day t-shirts.

Talented thirteen year old singer Alexis Clare McKinnon will be per-forming a concert at the Stadium Theater in Woonsocket on May 25, to benefit St. Mary's Home for Chil-dren.

With over 1,000 seats to fill, this will be her largest feature concert. Although, McKinnon has had thou-sands of eyes look her way before, 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 composition by heart, mouthing the words as other singers aspirated their parts.

Studying under the tutelage of Rene de la Garza, professor of mu-sic and vocal studies at URI, since the age of five, McKinnon has been through the drills of classical per-formance for years. Being stopped in the middle of a melodic phrase to

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.

The P-B's Fan Club put together a road trip to Springfield, MA for game 5 in a best of 5 series. It was do or die for both teams, and the P-B's did it, winning 6-3. They are now moving on to round 2 of the Playoffs. They will be facing the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins, in the best of 7 series.

P-B's LW Matt Fraser was called up to Boston on May 8th. He played in his first NHL game as well as his first NHL Playoff game. He was the hero of the game, scor-ing the only goal and an OT win-ning goal. Way to go Matt!!!

The P-B's Fan Club held their May Monthly Meeting at the

Special Olympics RI, where we presented a check to the CEO Den-nis DeJesus. The money was raised by the Fan Club during our 4th An-nual Steak Fry. Mr. DeJesus was surprised and grateful for receiving the check, which will help out the Summer Olympics at the end of May.

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 crm2159@bn.com.

Clients of commercial property insurer FM Global will collectively receive an estimated US$465 million in premium reduction when they renew their policies between June 30, 2014 and June 29, 2015. The “mem-bership credit” is the largest the company has ever of-fered its clients and is a result of the mutual insurer’s continued financial success due, in large part, to poli-cyholders’ diligent property loss prevention efforts. The credit each client will receive will be based on client tenure, with longer-term clients benefiting the most.

Approximately 1,900 clients qualify, some of which have been policyholders with FM Global since the late 1800s. Following this credit, FM Global clients will have benefited from approximately US$2.5 billion in membership credit since the program was introduced in 2001.

“Our favorable loss experience, due to the diligence our clients have shown toward property risk improve-ment, has made it possible for us to provide another premium credit to eligible policyholders,” said Shivan S. Subramaniam, chairman and chief executive offi-cer. “As a mutual company, our policyholders are our owners, so, naturally they share in the benefits of tak-ing prudent steps to protect their property and business continuity.”

FM Global clients holding policies consecutively for:

• Fewer than five years will be eligible for a 5 per-cent credit;

• Five to 19 consecutive years will be eligible for a 10 percent credit;

• 20 consecutive years or more will be eligible for a 15 percent credit

A more detailed overview of the 2014/2015 mem-bership credit plan (including eligibility, timing and basis for calculations) is available in the 2014/2015 Membership Credit Executive Plan Summary.

Established in 1835, FM Global is a US$5.6 bil-lion mutual insurance company whose capital, sci-entific research capability and engineering expertise are solely dedicated to property risk management. Its client-owners, who share the belief that the majority of property loss is preventable, represent many of the world’s largest organizations, including one of every three FORTUNE 1000 companies. They work with FM Global to better understand the hazards that can impact their business continuity in order to make cost-effective risk management decisions combining prop-erty loss prevention with insurance protection.

By DR. CATIE MCARDLE

When we think of our backs, we often think of the back that we can see, not the opposite side that is close to our insides. But, there are some muscles that at-tach to the front side of the lumbar vertebrae and run into our hips.

When the hip muscles, like the psoas, quadriceps, and TFL muscles are tight, they can distort the nor-mal relationship of the spine and can cause a sway forward, or an accentuated lumbar lordosis. This increased “dip” in the back can distort our posture and even our sense of balance; eventually leading

to back pain.Keeping the hip flexor muscles stretched out can

help to alleviate back pain. Our hip flexors are part of the body’s core stabilization. The psoas muscle is the major hip flexor and it attaches from the femur bone, across our pelvis to the lumbar vertebral bod-ies and discs. If you sit all day long and have a desk job, this muscle can become chronically shortened and tight. This muscle tightness can lead to insta-bility which you will eventually feel as lower back pain.

Now, how can you combat this instability? • Get up and get walking! Take breaks throughout

the day, walk around the building on sunny days, take the stairs instead of the elevator, or just do some laps around the office space. Anything to get some movement into your hips.

• Stretch the psoas muscle – daily! Take 5 min-utes out of your day to stretch the front of your hip. Get in a kneeling positing with one foot flat on the ground, keeping your knee aligned above your heel. Take the other knee and place it on the ground about a foot back. Keep your back straight, and push your hip forward so you feel a stretch on the lower leg. Hold it for a good 20-30 seconds and perform each side 3 times.

• Use a stability ball to sit on instead of a

deskchair. This will ensure that you are using your stomach muscles to sit up nice and straight and to avoid hunching. By bringing your bellybutton into your spine, you will automatically take pressure off your back. The ball will also ensure that you are keeping good posture.

• Consider a standing work station. Talk to your human resources department and see if this option is available.

• Add a yoga practice into your weekly workouts. Most yoga practices will incorporate “hip openers” into the routine. It is a great way to get the proper instruction and guidance on the stretches.

Springtime is a good time for transformation, so why not start by transforming your spine into a healthier one?

Johnston man ordered to pay back wages

Attorney General Peter F. Kilmartin announced that John J. Salois (age 42) with a last known address of 29 Matthew Drive, Johnston, pleaded nolo conten-dere Friday in Providence District Court before Judge Elaine T. Bucci to one count of violating a final order of the Rhode Is-land Department of Labor and Training (RI-DLT) in violation of RIGL 28-14-4, Payment on Separation by Employer.

Salois was sentenced to a one year fil-ing and ordered to pay restitution for un-paid wages in the amount of $1,710.80.

Had the case proceeded to trial, the State was prepared to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that John Salois, Presi-dent of Airtime Inc., failed to pay his em-ployee Erin Marie Magee for more than 100 hours of Sunday pay between July 2011 and May 2012 and two hours of regular pay between March 31, 2013 and April 7, 2013.

Magee filed a complaint with the La-bor Standards Unit at RI-DLT. A hearing was held on November 25, 2013 result-ing in a decision ordering Salois to pay wages owed to Magee. Salois failed to comply with the Order, and the case was referred to the Office of Attorney Gen-eral for criminal prosecution.

"Individuals who work in good faith deserve to be paid the proper wage, and employers who refuse to pay proper wages and flout the labor laws of this State will be prosecuted," said Attorney General Kilmartin.

RI-DLT Director Charles J. Fogarty said, "The Department is committed to investigating all wage complaints and aggressively enforcing these matters as allowable by law."

Rhode Island Office of Attorney Gen-eral Investigator John Rabbit investi-gated the matter and Special Assistant Attorney General Genevieve Allaire Johnson prosecuted the case on behalf of the State.

translate an Italian or French pas-sage into English, before being cri-tiqued and continuing in a different timbre.

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

Concerning opera she said, “No-body listens to it anymore. It's kind of sad. This generation doesn't ap-preciate it.”

Her concert will open with op-era, then taper into r&b and pop tunes, songs by favorites Whitney Huston, Maria Carey and Michael Jackson among others.

Incredible aerialists from Arielle Arts will be clinging to silk cloths and contorting their bodies in aero-bic 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 wanted to give back to them,” she said. “We want-ed to help.”

St. Mary's offers residential, out-patient and educational sup-port for children who have suffered traumatic abuses or are afflicted with socio-emotional learning dis-abilities –– upholding the values of family, trust, understanding, accep-tance and respect.

St. Mary's philosophy: “All chil-dren deserve to be safe, to grow up with a sense of belonging to a fami-ly and community, and to know that they are worthwhile and competent, as they prepare to be productive members of the community.”

The Stadium Theater, having seen drastic refurbishment over the past twenty years, this turn of the century building offers an ideal venue. The classical images paint-ed on the walls, the bass relief col-umns, statues, fountains, acoustics and architecture make the place feel like a relict of ancient Venice.

McKinnon's worked hard to get

there, through her own determina-tion. She is not ground to the bone, seated behind a piano for twelve hours a day as the stories of so many other brilliant child musi-cians have unfolded.

“My parents don't force me to do things I don't want to,” McKinnon said. “Of course, I practice a lot, but when I say enough is enough, they respect that.”

McKinnon's family is on board with letting her eight octave voice take her as far as it can, but they are firm about letting her enjoy grow-ing up first.

Like many her age, she's going through the tribulations of jr. high school. She plays soccer, shops, hangs out with her friends, living a seemingly normal life. Twist-ing her braids and checking her iPhone, one wouldn't know that when she takes in a lung of air she can belt out an intoned song jump-ing from intensity to sentimentality in an instant.

“Music is my life. It's what I do all year round,” McKinnon said. “I don't ever get sick of it. The pos-sibilities are endless. It's infinite.”

speaking

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.

for the better. One branch picked up their trow-els and sheers for some spring cleaning 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 sea-son, fruit flies buzzed around budding growth on young branches. Beneath these, volunteers were on hands and knees ridding the mulch of weeds.

“We look forward to it,” said agent Kim Fol-ey. “It makes the office closer. The camaraderie 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 Mari-lyn Boyce, a seven year veteran with the com-pany. “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 expedition, estimates over 1 million hours of community ser-vice were logged on Red Day from all the agents worldwide. That's a sizable helping hand.

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.

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.

Family Service of Rhode Island is a statewide non-profit human service and educational orga-nization. More information is available at www.familyserviceri.org.

Drive to help needy veterans a success!
