COLUMN Rest easy, my friend Last week my friend Kim lost a very long battle of many ill- nesses. It began about 20 years ago and continued throughout her life. She was diagnosed with several illnesses along the way, was in a coma more than once and was in pain most days. Yet, she kept smiling, laughing and telling jokes. She was, and will forever be, an inspiration to me. She was the most dedicated mom, wife and daughter I have ever known. Her husband Greg and children Drew and Megan were her inspiration to keep fight- ing. And fight she did until her last breath. Kim gave it her all every day and pushed her body until it could not keep going. She did it all for her family. She did not want to miss any days with them. Her chil- dren were her pride and joy and Greg was her source of strength. I met Kim in high school when she began dating my classmate, Greg. She went to Westfield HOPE E. TREMBLAY High and we went to St. Mary’s and as silly as it sounds, we were a little leery of an “outsider” joining us. But, Kim fit right in. The first time I met her was when Greg brought her to a semi-formal dance. He had told me about her and when we met, we clicked. Kim clicked with many people because of her infectious laughter and silly and sometimes irreverent humor. Greg could be a bit shy and she brought out the best in him. They were together from the day they met and their love grew stronger every single day. Kim and Greg were the couple other couples aspired to be. They were true soulmates who complimented each other. When Kim was diagnosed with her first chronic disorder she had two young children and Greg held them all together. He will tell Further reopening not top-of-mind for Baker you she held him together.

Only Barnstable County had vacci- nated a higher share of residents at 56 percent. Officials are worried, though, that the pace will not last. Cyr and Rep. Dylan Fernandes of Falmouth wrote to Health and Human Services Secretary Marylou Sudders last week, warning that the islands’ early success “is now stalling.” Cyr and Fernandes urged the administration to boost the sup- ply of vaccines it ships to the two islands now that more and more seasonal residents and workers -- which balloons small year-round populations to highs of 200,000 on Martha’s Vineyard and 60,000 on Nantucket -- are arriving. Martha’s Vineyard Hospital has received about 1,300 doses per week for the past two months, while Nantucket Cottage Hospital did not receive any last week, according to Cyr and Fernandes. They said that forces many residents to head to the mainland for immunization, a potentially difficult and costly endeavor. “Taking your car off island can be prohibitively expensive and can take an entire day to complete, requiring working people to forgo wages, obtain childcare, and navigate other logistical hurdles,” Cyr and Fernandes wrote. Residents getting the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine would need to schedule two off- island trips at a cost of hundreds of dollars each time, they said.

DADDY’S HOME Tony Rubino and Gary Markstein JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS YOUR Contract Bridge HOROSCOPE

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Monday, April 26, 2021: Gentle, plodding and cautious, take your time for important decisions. This year, you push yourself out of your com- fort zone and accept challenges. Unconditional support from family allows you to move forward and never look back. By Steve Kelley and Jeff Parker Your finances grow with long-term invest- DUSTIN ments and increases in salary or commis- sion. Take your loved ones on that long- anticipated vacation. If single, open your heart. If attached, express love through actions. AQUARIUS gets you to socialize.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

ARIES (March 21-April 19)  Pressure could mount from partners who want more than you can deliver. Distance yourself from those try- ing to guilt you into going against your SCARY GARY Mark Buford will. Have fun with someone who you know always has your back. Tonight: Chat with family. TAURUS (April 20-May 20)  Tackle work that requires more effort than usual. This could involve a paid job or just labor-intensive work around the house. Get it done early. Saving the best part of your day for last speeds up the pace. Tonight: Light exercise. GEMINI (May 21-June 20)  Take a deep breath before reacting to a romantic situation. A friendly flirtation could be just that and nothing Crosswords more. Give creativity a chance. Take an art, music or dance class with no expecta- DOGS of C-KENNEL Mick and Mason Mastroianni tions other than expressing yourself. Tonight: Positive affirmations. CANCER (June 21-July 22)  Perk up your living space. There could be differences of opinion about how radically your family wants to make changes. If you want to fix things up more completely, hire professional help if the job is beyond your talents. Tonight: Inspired leftovers. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)  You’ve got the muscle to pro- mote your ideas to others. Whether expressing your viewpoint or marketing a B.C. Mastroianni and Hart product, speak clearly and persuasively to get the message across. Take it down a notch, and nobody will be offended. Tonight: Romantic time. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)  Cut fat from your budget. Think of one item that your heart is set on but is out of reach. Start saving for it while you eliminate nonessentials. Treat your- self well but don’t break the bank. Tonight: Group texts. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)  Take advantage of more con- fidence and high energy without burning the candle at both ends. Pace yourself, and the job will get done with time to spare. ONE BIG HAPPY Rick Detorie Show off your culinary skills to dinner guests. Tonight: Play a brain-teasing game. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)  Find a lull in your schedule so you can find that quiet space to catch up on reading. Combine social and volunteer activities, as long as they don’t demand too much of your time and energy. Tonight: Watch a celebrity biopic. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)  Speak your mind freely, and others will listen. Your idealism and earnestness come through loud and clear. Confide in a trusted friend about hidden ANDY CAPP Mahoney, Goldsmith and Garnett fears. Put your mind at rest now that you got it off your chest. Tonight: Outdoor din- ing. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)  Look over detailed notes for projects you began but never finished. Discard those that will never see the light of day. Show those that seem worthwhile to someone who can comment objectively. Tonight: Be honest with someone you love. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)  Share insights about life and love with a group of like-minded people. These are not subjects that you openly talk Cryptoquip about, so be discriminating. Start to think ZACK HILL John Deering and John Newcombe ahead toward the summer. Research a destination that appeals to everyone. Tonight: Takeout specials. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) 8  Things could feel like they are out of control. Don’t let your frustra- tion get the better of you. Step back and find a solution. Gently but firmly steer others involved in the right direction. Tonight: Sweat off your nervous energy.
