Voted a "Top Plastic Surgeon" by his peersand by nurses in surveys done by RhodeIsland Monthly (2001 - 2016)

Dr. Pat Sullivan understands that, when it comes to li�ing and sculpting the face and neck, artistic vision is key. His new and minimally invasive treatment, including the Silhoue�e Instali�, uses advanced technology to help rede�ne facial contours, giving patients immediate, natural-looking results with minimal downtime.

Silhoue�e InstaLi�TM is the breakthrough facial rejuvenation technology. �is can li� sagging facial skin without the need for major surgery, scars or general anesthesia. �ough the procedure is not for everyone we have been very happy with the results in select patients.

• 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.

resident & sponsor social event

PRE-MEMORIAL DAY CelebrationAT 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!

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!

For information on Summer Savings, contact Gen-eral Manager Steve Silva at (508) 761-9300, or stop in at 795 Newport Ave. (Rte. 1A), South Attleboro, MA, 02703, or visit them online at Courtesyma.com.

ASSOCIATION AUCTION

A l z h e i m e r ’ saround 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.

what’s theuse 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!”

Fun-Filled

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.

Cousin Sarah

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 other PCL locations, visit www.provcomlib.org.

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 Shrimp1 stick salted butter, at room temperature2 tablespoons chopped chives1 tablespoon chopped tarragon leaves1 clove garlic, mincedDash of hot sauceFreshly ground black pepperOlive oilKosher saltLemon wedges, for garnishChive sprigsSpecial 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 crosswise½ cup thinly sliced English cucumber1 tablespoon soy sauce1 tablespoon rice vinegar2 teaspoons olive oil1 ½ teaspoons granulated sugar2 medium scallions, dark green parts only, thinly sliced1 medium serrano or jalapeno chile, thinly sliced crosswise2 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds¼ 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.
