Visiting Program receives accreditation for quality services to new parents

Prevent Child Abuse America (PCA America) has announced that Family Service of RI, a Healthy Families America (HFA) affiliate, has been accredited as a provider of high quality home visiting services for expectant mothers and families with newborns and young children.

Family Service of RI’s HFA program under-went the PCA America accreditation process, which involves a stringent set of 12 critical elements grounded in more than 30 years of research. The process involves an in-depth ex-amination of the site’s operation, as well as the quality of the visits made by HFA home visitors.

“Congratulations to our HFA team,” said Margaret Holland McDuff, Family Service of RI CEO. “Their dedication to excellence means a better life for babies, young children and their

moms and dads despite challenges such as pov-erty, trauma and other issues.”

The Family Service of RI HFA program works to improve child health, nutrition and devel-opmental outcomes of low-income parents in Providence and West Warwick. It annually serves about 100 families.

HFA is an evidence-based program that includes family resource specialists and family support workers who help mothers and families access community resources, plan for education and jobs, and avoid social isolation. They help parents read their children’s cues and respond in nurturing ways, and become more self-sufficient and confident in their parental role.

Year One: #ItsWorking We've had a busy and productive 2015, focused on putting people back to

work, reinvigorating our economy, and ensuring that everyone can "make it in Rhode Island." We've got a lot more work to do, but we've made steady progress every day, and we're starting 2016 with a sense of momentum. Let's build on the progress we've achieved together with more work, more action, and more results.

See below for a quick overview of some of Rhode Island's accomplishments over the past 12 months. Please share this with anyone who'd be interested.

The Rhode Island Department of Revenue reminds Rhode Islanders new tax rules intended to ease the financial burden on corporations and individu-als take effect Friday, Jan. 1, 2016 as a result of legislation approved by the General Assembly and signed into law earlier this year by Governor Gina M. Raimondo. “The changes do not affect tax returns covering 2015,” said Marilyn Shannon McConaghy acting director of the Department of Revenue. “However, the revisions are impor-tant to keep in mind for tax-planning purposes throughout the year.” Fol-lowing are highlights of several of the changes:

• CORPORATE MIMIMUM TAX: All business entities subject to the cor-porate minimum tax, including entities treated as C corporations for federal income tax purposes, limited liability companies, subchapter S corporations, limited partnerships, and limited liabil-ity partnerships, will see that tax drop by 10 percent to $450 for tax years beginning on or after Jan. 1, 2016. The tax has been $500.

• PASS-THROUGHS: The reduc-tion in the annual corporate minimum

tax noted above will also apply to en-tities that are treated as pass-through entities for federal income tax purpos-es. For tax years beginning on or after Jan. 1, 2016, the annual filing fee, or filing charge, will drop by $50, to $450, for limited liability companies, subchapter S corporations, limited partnerships, and limited liability partnerships.

• SOCIAL SECURITY: A number of Social Security beneficiaries who have reached full retirement age and who pay federal income tax on those benefits for the 2016 tax year will pay no Rhode Island income tax on those benefits when they do their Rhode Island returns for 2016 and later tax years.

• EARNED INCOME CREDIT: Starting Jan. 1, 2016, Rhode Island’s earned income credit – a tax break for the working poor – will increase to 12.5 percent of the federal earned income credit.

More details about the tax law changes are contained in the Tax Divi-sion’s annual “Summary of Legislative Changes,” available on the agency’s website: http//go.usa/3GtHk.

Tax breaks took effect as of Jan. 1

As part of her continued efforts to build healthy communities and showcase our state's beauty to the world, Governor Gina M. Raimondo today established the Rhode Is-land Outdoor Recreation Council. The council will be responsible for increasing awareness about the use and enjoyment of recreational and environmental assets.

Raimondo was joined by First Gentleman Andy Moffit, as they both lauded Rhode Island's natural resources and the importance of engaging in outdoor activities as a way to instill healthy habits in children.

"All Rhode Islanders should have the chance to enjoy the countless outdoor recreational opportunities in our beautiful state, and take advan-tage of these resources as they fulfill New Year's resolutions and lead healthier lifestyles," Raimondo said. "Rhode Island's natural assets are unmatched, with amazing beaches, parks, campgrounds, bike paths, the bay and waterways. The State can do more to encourage use of these

resources and promote this critical sector of Rhode Island's economy.”

The Executive Order connects state agencies with stakeholders, di-recting them to provide a statewide strategy to promote and improve opportunities for outdoor recreation and tourism in Rhode Island.

The Executive Order directs the Rhode Island Outdoor Recreation Council to:

Advise the Governor on ways to manage recreational and environ-mental assets;

Evaluate and propose specific rec-ommendations concerning the imple-mentation of a statewide strategy to promote and improve opportunities for outdoor recreation and tourism in Rhode Island;

Produce an interim report no later than July 1, 2016, and a final action plan and recommendation no later than November 30, 2016.

"Every day I see the dedication of Rhode Island residents to preserving the state's diverse natural heritage," said Moffit, who will serve as Chair of the Council. "We can capitalize

upon all the state has to offer and showcase Rhode Island as a desti-nation for our families and visitors alike."

This Council brings together a group of talented leaders represent-ing state and municipal government, private business, and educational institutions, among other groups. Director Janet Coit of the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management and Director Nicole Alexander-Scott, MD, MPH, of the Rhode Island Department of Health have been named co-vice chairs of the Council.

"Our parks, beaches, and other recreational areas make Rhode Island so special, and DEM is proud to be the chief steward of these resources for our state," said Coit. "Every year, these treasured places welcome millions of people - from avid hikers and fishermen to families gathering for a picnic or a relaxing day at the beach. They are part of our social fabric and identity, as well as important tourist attractions. I am thrilled the Governor is creating an

Outdoor Recreation Council to eval-uate, promote and expand outdoor recreation in Rhode Island; through it, we will bring together a diverse set of interests and perspectives that will greatly contribute toward this important goal. I am brimming with optimism about the future!"

"Increasing the use of parks and other recreation areas by all Rhode Islanders, including people in com-munities who have traditionally had less access to these resources, is vital to addressing obesity, physical inactivity, and mental health in our state," said Alexander-Scott. "The Outdoor Recreation Council will put us on a path toward a healthier Rhode Island full of people who are ready to get active and stay active for life."

The Outdoor Recreation Council Executive Order builds on Environ-mental Management, Health, Com-merce and tourism plans, setting bold and ambitious strategies for developing use and promotion of Rhode Island's outdoor recreation assets.

Raimondo kicks off New Year with focus on healthy living, importance of natural resources

Smart shopping involves making budget-friendly purchases. Never paying full price is a mantra shoppers can follow to help keep their finances in check.

In addition to coupons and other dis-counts, shoppers can usually score deals based on which time of year they shop for particular items. Each year, various consum-er resources offer advice on the best time to buy certain items.

The beginning of the year is often an ideal time to purchase certain items. Consumers who take advantage of sales offered at the start of the new year can save substantial amounts of money. Now that the holiday season has passed, consumers can begin to find deals on items for themselves.

· Clothing: Post-Christmas sales are booming, and stores are looking to sell what's left of their inventories to make room for spring and summer selections. Even though the weather outside is still cold, sweaters, pants, coats, and more are usually available at a discount come January. It may take some digging through the racks, but there's an excellent chance to discover some great items.

· Boats: Wintertime is boat show season, but it's also the offseason for boaters who live in cooler climates. These factors com-bine to make it easier and less expensive to find a new boat. According to boat-buying retailer Boatline, consumers can probably get one of last year's models at a good price.

· Air conditioners: If the warm-weather season was particularly steamy this past year, it might be time to revamp the HVAC system or invest in some new portable units. Bankrate offers that the first few months of

the year are prime times to shop for air con-ditioners. While you may not get the latest model, it's likely you can find a reliable unit at below-market cost.

· Theater tickets: January and February are not especially busy seasons for theaters, which means there will be greater opportu-nity to get discounted seats for many popu-lar shows.

· Linens and bedding: John Wannamaker was a retail entrepreneur and had a few department stores in New York and Phila-delphia. Wannamakers held the first "white sale" in 1878, and since then many stores have continued the tradition. January is a great month to buy towels, sheets, bed-spreads, and more at a discount.

· Motorcycles: Riding a motorcycle is a fair-weather hobby, and retailers are aware of this. The easy riders of tomorrow might be able to find great deals today.

· Video games: Those who haven't pur-chased their fill of video games for the holi-days can benefit from post-holiday drops in price.

· Furniture: Many furniture manufacturers begin to churn out new inventory in Febru-ary, so last season's items will need to move quickly. Shoppers can often negotiate some good deals now and upgrade their homes' decor.

· Wedding-related services: Couples who don't mind the chilly weather can enjoy steep savings by hosting their weddings in January. Spring and summer are by far the more popular seasons to tie the knot, but reception halls, musical acts, florists, and other vendors may heavily discount their services in winter.

Many people may run indoors when the tem-peratures outside approach or dip below freezing. But the truly adventurous see no reason why a little cold weather should keep them cooped up indoors for months at a time.

Sports and other physical activities can provide the perfect respite from the cabin fever that can settle in during long winters. Families looking to get some quality time outdoors together this winter can enjoy a host of activities in the great outdoors, even if the temperatures are a tad on the chilly side.

· Sledding: Sledding may remind adults of their childhoods and turn kids' snow days into fun afternoons they will never forget. Kids can seem-ingly ride their sleds and toboggans down snowy hills all day long, but even parents get a kick out of racing kids downhill or sharing a sled with their youngsters. While older kids can typically handle sleds on their own, parents should ride along with toddlers to prevent falls and handle steering duties. When sledding, keep a close eye for any signs that suggest kids might be getting too cold, such as shivering or clothes that are soaked through.

· Snowshoeing: Parents may not know that many retailers sell snowshoes for children. While snowshoeing can be physically demanding, it's also a fun way for families that like family walks to continue those traditions even if there are a few

inches of snow on the ground. Make sure kids are bundled up, paying extra attention to their foot-wear. Kids will enjoy snowshoeing more if their boots are both comfortable and capable of keeping their feet warm.

· Snowman building: Perhaps no outdoor winter activity is more conducive to family fun than building a snowman. The season's first substan-tial snowfall provides the perfect opportunity for parents and their children to start building some snowmen. While "snowman building" is unlikely to find its way onto any gym schedules, building a snowman provides a great workout. Lifting snow is great strength training, while pushing snow to form Frosty's body is a great way to get in some cardiovascular exercise.

· Skiing and snowboarding: The earlier youngsters start skiing and/or snowboarding, the more likely such activities will prove second nature. Many resorts offer skiing and snow-boarding lessons to kids and adults, so parents can book weekend getaways for the family to nearby resorts and foster a love of winter sports in youngsters.

While it's tempting to huddle up indoors when winter hits full swing, families who embrace the great outdoors when the temperatures dip can avoid cabin fever and enjoy one another's com-pany along the way.

Please join us on Thursday January 21st at 6:30pm for filmmaker Marc Levitt’s presentation of “Woven in Time: The Narragansett Salt Pond

Preserve”; a 57-minute documentary film about a small piece of seemingly ordinary land located on the southern coast of Rhode Island. In the 1980s, archaeologists, working for a local developer, unearthed the remains of New England’s only undisturbed Pre-Contact Period Native American coastal village. Used for dirt biking and adjacent to a suburban housing devel-opment and shopping center, this land, on a pond where the Narragansett Tribe located their origin story, became the center of an almost thirty year battle between the rights of property owner-ship and the social and cultural impor-tance of preserving one of the most im-portant archaeological sites on the East Coast of the United States. Register by visiting the reference desk or calling 333-2422, ext. 17.

By EDDIE PANNONE

The Providence Bruins have seen many of their young stars go up and down from the NHL so far this season. The 2016 Winter Classic at Gillette Stadium featured four of Providence’s most productive players in the Boston Bruins lineup. Since then, two of them have returned to the P-Bruins. Frank Vatrano, who was the best in the league for the first 10 games of the AHL season, was promoted very early in the season and likely won’t be back with Providence at all. Veteran Max Talbot also spent time with Providence, but he too is likely in Boston for the foreseeable future.

Seth Griffith and Alexander Khokhlachev, the leading scorers on the team, both re-turned from the NHL spotlight and imme-diately made an impact upon entering the lineup. In a 5-2 victory over the Rochester Americans, the two combined for seven points on the P-Bruins’ league leading pow-er play. With injury issues for the parent club, the duo will likely see more time in Boston before all is said and done this year. Khokhlachev, a natural center, would seem most likely to get back faster since Boston has had a number of their centers go down.

A surprising move after the Winter Classic was the announcement that David Pastrnak would be assigned to Providence and not go immediately back to Boston. He hadn’t played since October 31 with a broken foot and recently suffered a finger injury during the World Juniors Tournament in Finland. The 19-year old took the orga-nization by storm in his rookie season last year, but struggled to start the year before his injury. It is hard to fathom that he will be in a P-Bruin uniform for long, as this is likely a way for the youngster to get his feet under him following a two-month layoff.

Providence remains in the middle of the pack in the Eastern Conference stand-ings, though if the season ended today they would be on the outside looking in. Only a few points separate a number of teams from a spot in the Calder Cup playoffs, so with the All-Star break nearing and plenty of talent the P-Bruins are still in decent shape to get to the postseason. Malcolm Subban is receiving a majority of the minutes in net, and the young goalie is only going to get better. With several skaters jumping back and forth between the NHL and AHL, Sub-ban’s play likely will determine how far this P-Bruins team can get.

Griffith and Khokhlachev return after Winter Classic

The holidays are over and it's back to reality and routines. Hockey games were played throughout the league.

The 2016 IIHF World Juniors Championship took place in Helsinki, Finland.

P-B's, David Pastrnak is back on American soil. He was in Finland representing his country, Czech Rebub-lic. His team was eliminated by Team USA. Team USA played against Russia in the semi-finals, but lost 2-1.

Former P-B's goalie Jeremy Smith was named CCM/AHL Player of the week for the period ending Decem-ber 27, 2015. Smith is now playing for Iowa Wild.

This past weekend, P-B's Center Alexander Khokhlachev, was selected as CCM/AHL Player of the Week, ending January 3, 2016. Khokhlachev will be presented with an etched crystal award, prior to an upcoming P-B's home game.

Congratulations to the players who are working hard and playing hard!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
