5 phrases that editors hate.

Many media gatekeepers are ALMOST human.  Thus, they have buttons, and when pushed, make them crazy (crazier than usual).

The first time this was brought to my attention was when an editor of a medical trade journal commented that if I ever used the phrase “paradigm shift” in a news release again he would completely block my email address.

Fair enough.  Paradigm shift is such a grandiose claim that it should be reserved for cures for cancer and amazing muffin recipes.

Similarly, these over the top phrases should also be avoided at all costs.

  1. Cutting edge
  2. Bleeding edge
  3. State of the art
  4. Best practices

Keeping it simple, communicating in a concise manner – now that would be a paradigm shift.

Summertime tax planning

Paul Dion CPA
Paul Dion CPA

MILLBURY, MA and NEWPORT, RI…

Most self-employed people or small business owners would never list tax planning as a favorite summertime activity. Yet for those small business owners looking to enjoy a vacation in the next year and some tax-deductible outings during the summer, it makes the most sense.

“Many small business owners don’t even think about their taxes until it’s time to meet with their accountants and file,” said Paul Dion, owner of Paul Dion CPA. “It is to the small business owner’s benefit to meet at least quarterly to analyze how you can take full advantage of the provisions, credits and deductions that are legally available to you. What better time than summertime when things tend to quiet down a bit for many small businesses.”

When it comes to tax planning, Dion cites several overlapping goals that the small business owner should strive for: reducing the amount of taxable income; lowering your tax rate; controlling the time when the tax must be paid; claiming any available tax credits; and controlling the effects of the Alternative Minimum Tax; and avoiding the most common tax planning mistakes.

“Lowering taxable income is the most obvious place to start because if you can accomplish that, you can possibly lower your tax rate,” said Dion. “Three of the better areas to find additional deductions are business entertainment expenses, business auto expenses and the home office expenses.”

One often overlooked deduction for business entertainment is that the IRS allows up to 50 percent deduction of meals. Business must be discussed during that meal and a receipt of the dinner will be needed for tabs greater than $75.

Another is use of more than one personal vehicle for business use. While the 2015 mileage rate of .575 applies, you can deduct business miles from more than one automobile should you use both for business. To figure business use, divide the business miles driven by the total miles driven. This strategy can result in significant deductions.

One last key deduction is the home office, particularly if you need to buy new equipment. Section 179 expensing for tax year 2015 allows you to immediately deduct, rather than depreciate over time, up to $25,000, with a cap of $200,000 (down from $500,000 and $2,000,000, respectively, in 2014) worth of qualified business property that you purchase during the year. The key word is “purchase”. Equipment can be new or used and includes certain software. All home office depreciable equipment meets the qualifications.

Winters Home Services Offers Homeowners Helpful Plumbing Tips to Save Water & Money

Tim Flynn, Winters Home Services
Tim Flynn, Winters Home Services

An average household of four uses about 400 gallons of water per day. From showers and toilets to washing machines, dishwashers and more, that’s a lot of water. But, if you have a leak or have to wait for your water to heat up, you may be using many more gallons and paying dearly for them on your water bill.

Winters Home Services, an award-winning provider of plumbing, heating, cooling, and drain services to residents throughout the greater Boston area, offers helpful plumbing tips to save water and money:

Repair leaks promptly – If you have a leaky faucet, toilet or pipe in your home, fix it immediately before it becomes a much bigger and more expensive problem. Even if it’s a slow leak, such as a dripping faucet, it can account for more than 10 percent of your water usage.

If you don’t know if you have a leak, your water meter readings can provide the clue. When water is not in use, check the meter twice in a two-hour time span. If the readings change, then there is a leak somewhere in your home.

If you can’t determine the source of the leak but your meter readings indicate you definitely have one, call in a professional plumber. You may have a leaky pipe behind a wall, and if left alone, will cause extensive damage that ruins the drywall, deteriorates the framing over time and causes mold growth. A leaky pipe is also an early sign of a burst pipe, which will result in greater damage to your home.

Stop a running toilet – A running toilet can cost you hundreds of dollars and is a major contribution to a costly water bill. It is generally the result of broken internal parts. It could be that a simple repair on the valves is needed, or there could be a larger issue.

“Many people think that showering or doing laundry uses the most water, but actually, the toilet accounts for the largest use of water in a home. If you have a leaky or running toilet, your water bill can skyrocket,” explained Tim Flynn, owner. “If you hear the toilet running or it flushes slowly or overflows often, get it checked out right away. Clogged drains waste water as well and can become a major problem.”

Waiting for hot water – If you turn on the sink or shower and wait anywhere from 30 seconds to over a minute for the water to heat up, precious gallons of clean water go down the drain. You are paying for that water to get hot while it runs. Consider replacing your traditional storage water heater with a Tankless Water Heater or installing a Hot Water Recirculating System. Recirculation pumps will get the water to the faucet faster and keep it hot in the line longer. They usually cost approximately $1000, which can be recouped in about two and a half years. Either system will ensure immediate delivery of hot water when you need it and provide significant water savings.

Winters Home Services shares plumbing tips in a number of videos on their website. Learn more about fixing a leaky faucet, testing your toilet for leaks and more by viewing Winters’ videos at www.wintershomeservices.com/videos.php.

Running Guru Bill Rodgers to join in the 5th annual Run for Faith on Sun., August 23, 8:30 a.m.

Bill Rodgers Running 08 13 15

Bill Rodgers, the running legend who was the face of the running revolution in the 70s and 80s, will be participating in the 5th annual Run for Faith on Sun., August 23, 8:30 a.m. starting at the Plimouth Plantation.

 

Rodgers is the former American record holder in the marathon who is best known for his four victories in the Boston Marathon, including three straight 1978-1980 and the New York City Marathon between 1976 and 1980.

 

“Having Bill Rodgers join us for the Run for Faith is a thrill,” noted Matt Romboldi, one of the founders of the race run in memory of his mother, Faith “Marcy” Romboldi, who lost her battle with cancer in 2010. He added, “We wanted to try something different this year because Plymouth has become such a running destination and has so many road races, we wanted to try something different to give this year a big  push. Bill will help us do that.  When I was a serious runner I had a Bill Rodgers poster on my wall. He was among my inspirations.  I’m sure other runners will be delighted to talk with him at the race this year.”

 

Fans will have the opportunity to buy an autographed copy of Rodgers’ recent book “Marathon Man: My 26.2-Mile Journey from Unknown Grad Student to the Top of the Running World” and to have a photo taken with him and snapped by local Plymouth photographer Dan Rapoza.

Rodgers won both races four times each between 1975 and 1980, twice breaking the American record at Boston with a time of 2:09:55 in 1975 and a 2:09:27 in 1979. In 1977, he won the Fukuoka Marathon, making him the only runner ever to hold the championship of all three major marathons at the same time. He made the 1976 U.S. Olympic team and raced the marathon at the Montreal Olympics in 1976, finishing 40th. He did not participate in the Olympics in 1980 due to the U.S. boycott over the invasion of Afghanistan by the USSR.

 

In its five-year history, the Run for Faith has carved out several niches. One of those is as a family-oriented road race that offers a more rural course than other Plymouth road races at a distance that presents a challenge for both novice and experienced runners. This year’s Run for the Faith, the fifth annual run, takes place on Sunday, August 23 at 8:30am, starting from Plimoth Plantation.

 

Run for Faith has added some extras this year. Those extras include a chip timing device for more accurate time tracking. This technology also triggers a camera along the course so runners can have a photo of themselves in action during the run.

 

The 4.58-mile Run for Faith loop captures spectacular views of Cape Cod Bay, the Eel River and scenic horse farms. The course features rolling hills and unmatched history.  Water stations are plentiful and the event is professionally timed. Walkers are also welcome.

 

Post-race “light refreshments” will include bananas, oranges, bagels, muffins and scones.  To amuse younger family members, a jumpy house will be available. A number of vendors will be on hand to sell their wares before and after the race.

 

During its five year history, the Run for Faith has raised more than $20,000 for Dana Farber’s Yawkey Center for Cancer Care. The run has funded two annual scholarships for graduating high school seniors from Plymouth North High School and Plymouth South High School. The Plymouth Public Library and other local non-profits are also the beneficiary of funds raised by the Run for Faith.

 

One hundred percent of Run for Faith entry fees goes to these charitable efforts.

The entry fee for the Run for Faith is $25 for individuals. There are reduced entry fees available for members of Girls on the Go and South Shore Running Moms. Runners can register at www.runforfaithplymouth.org.

 

The Run for Faith is organized by Run for Faith, Inc., which is 501(c)(3) non-profit organization created to commemorate the special life of Faith “Marcy” Romboldi who gave so much of herself to both individuals and the community.

 

Faith, or “Marcy” as she was known by her friends and family, was a teacher, member of the Red Hat’s Society, Sweet Adeline’s, and Daughters of the American Revolution. She was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 2008. Marcy’s ability to fight this vicious disease with incessant might and unsurpassed grace will never be forgotten and surely serves as inspiration to those who were close. Mostly, Marcy will be remembered for her acts of kindness, generosity and thoughtfulness. Many will remember her for her two best accessories- a lovely hat and a radiant smile!

 

For more information, please visit www.runforfaithplymouth.org, or email info@runforfaithplymouth.org. You can view the course online at: http://www.mapmyrun.com/us/plymouth-ma/run-for-faith-plymouth-ma-route-115100461.

Bankrupt not banished. “Bankruptcy Division” helps rebound. Pre-Property Solutions launches new division to rekindle home ownership dreams.

Photo Chris and Kim Prefontaine

More than 910,000 people filed for bankruptcy in 2014, according to the American Bankruptcy Institute by Epiq Systems, Inc. Many people think that the bankruptcy designation will bar them from ever owning a home again.  The “Bankruptcy Division” recently launched by Pre-Property Solutions based in both Newport, RI and Northborough, MA, provides new home ownership hope and opportunity for those who have previously fallen on hard time.

 

“There are many myths about bankruptcy and we help demystify them and get resilient people back to home ownership and back to growing community roots,” noted Chris Prefontaine, Managing Director of Pre-Property Solutions and a 24 year veteran in the real estate industry. “The Bankruptcy Division formalizes a best practices approach to repairing credit and credibility that we have learned over the past decades.  Bankruptcy is not a dead end, it is a major speed bump that, with help, most people can hurdle.”

 

Prefontaine added, “We have dozens of success stories to prove that home ownership can be achieved even if you’ve experienced bankruptcy at some time.”

 

Pre-Property Solutions starts by connecting bankrupt buyers to a third party credit repair consultant who works with the buyer to repair their credit situation.  Typically, the buyer is able to qualify for a conventional mortgage within 9 months to 5 years.

 

In addition, Pre-Property Solutions offers an alternative “rent to own” program. The enhanced program helps home seekers with poor credit, no credit and/or a limited amount to invest.  The “rent to own” program is straight-forward. The buyer works with Pre-Property Solutions to determine the best down payment up front and over time.

 

During the credit repair process, depending upon the property, sometimes a portion of the monthly lease payment is credited to the purchase. If not, a Down Payment Assistance Program (DPA) is available to further assist the buyer. The DPAP outlines that the Lessee/Optionee has the right to put down additional funds towards their down payment and receive credit against the purchase price.

The rent to own program hinges on the fact that Pre-Property Solutions is a private real estate investor who buys and sells houses. All properties are either owned by Pre Holdings or the company has a purchase contract and/or option with the owner of the property, which Pre Holdings may assign to third parties or retains. Pre Holdings is not a real estate brokerage and does not provide realtor services to the public, or to any of the parties to which it has contractual relationships.

 

Pre-Property Solutions in some instances even pays cash for the home and can close in about a week if that best suits all parties.  The goal is to create a win-win purchase that is good for everyone.

 

Pre-Property Solutions are not loan brokers, bankers, real estate agents or selling homes for someone else.  The company are the owners or have a legal equitable interest in the property.

 

Pre-Property Solutions donates $100 of every home sale to the Franciscan Hospital for Children in Boston in the name of Nick Prefontaine, the son of Chris Prefontaine, who continues to benefit from their great work and who works in the business with Chris.

 

Pre-Property Solutions are members of the Newport County Chamber of Commerce and Better Business Bureau.  The company maintains an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau.

 

​Pre-Property Solutions maintains two offices, one at 580 Thames Street, Newport, RI and another at 360 Church Street, Suite 230, Northborough​, MA.

FALL RIVER, MASSACHUSETTS

Apollo Safety, Inc., a veteran-owned, Fall River, Massachusetts-based company specializing in safety products and services, recently began selling batteries as part of its safety product offerings.

“We have customers who invest a fair amount of money in their carbon monoxide and other gas detection products but often don’t keep a supply of batteries on hand to ensure those devices—detection systems and handheld devices—are working at all times,” said John Carvalho, founder and president of Apollo Safety, Inc. “We began offering batteries so that our customers could stock up rather than waiting for the batteries to run out and then, ultimately, heading down to the local pharmacy or grocery store and paying more.”

Carvalho noted that many people are hesitant to buy more than a pack or two of batteries at a time for fear the batteries will lose their power if not used by a certain time.

“Batteries, just like a gallon of milk or any number of food products, come with expiration dates,” said Carvalho. “As long as you store the batteries correctly, they should last as long as the expiration date says.”

The range of battery life can vary, anywhere from five to 10 years depending on the model. Batteries should be kept in a reasonable cool environment, away from heat and humidity.

“Some people store batteries in the refrigerator. That may be a tad extreme, but keeping batteries at temps between 40 and 50 degrees will help. Extreme temperatures in either direction can shorten their shelf life,” added Carvalho. “You also do not want to store different types of batteries together. For example, mixing AAs and AAAs in a draw together will lessen their life expectancy.”
