USMMA of Bellingham Announces Summer Camp for Kids & Teens in July

United States Mixed Martial Arts (USMMA) of Bellingham has recently launched a new Summer Camp program for children ages 7 to 12 years old and teens.

Now, girls and boys can learn the fundamentals of Mixed Martial Arts, which is the fastest growing sport in America, in the space of a week at USMMA (http://www.usmma.org).

Summer Camp will be held from July 13-17, 2009 from 10:30 a.m. to 12 p.m. for kids age 7 to 12 years old and from 1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. for teens. The cost is $175 per student and $148.75 for USMMA members. A 10 percent discount will be given to students who sign up with a friend.

USMMA’s Summer Camp focuses on safely teaching students Thai Boxing along with the values of strength and conditioning. Kids will also be able to participate in other activities such as Jiu-Jitsu, Hip Hop dancing and indoor and outdoor games.

At the conclusion of the week, students will receive a certificate of completion and a USMMA

t-shirt. They will also be able to participate in an in-house demonstration for their family and friends to show what they have learned during USMMA’s Summer Camp.

“There are many benefits to the structured training techniques of Martial Arts. Martial Arts builds confidence, self-esteem, self-discipline, respect and concentration in kids and teens. Many kids who do not do well in team sports tend to flourish in Martial Arts which is actually safer to participate in than most school sports,” noted Tom Hafers, owner of USMMA.

He continued, “The Summer Camp program is an opportunity for kids and teen to find out more about Martial Arts and all that we offer here at USMMA.”

To register for USMMA’s Summer Camp, stop by the training center at 316 Hartford Avenue in Bellingham or visit the website at usmma.org or contact 508-966-5006.

The unkindest cut…How employers can take the sting out of employee pay cuts.

BOSTON, MASS… 

As an employee, it’s a choice you never want to have to make: take a pay cut or possibly lose your job. For employers, the impact can be even more severe. Not only does asking your workers to take a pay cut put a serious damper on morale in the present, it can permanently alter how your employees feel about the company—even if things do turn around.

Boston-based Tarlow, Breed, Hart & Rodgers, P.C., advises a number of businesses small and large as part of its corporate law practice. When it comes to pay cuts, the Firm offers some suggestions for companies looking for a silver lining for this very dark cloud.

“It’s an incredibly difficult thing for an employer to ask their employees to take a cut in pay. First, it’s an admission that your company is not doing well, which is a tough pill for any business owner to swallow. More importantly, a pay cut will negatively impact the lives of people you work closely with day and day out, in some cases, for many years. Despite what some might think, most owners do care about their workers and asking anybody to take a cut in pay not based on the employee’s performance is difficult,” said William Rodgers, a member of TBHR.

So, how do you soften the blow of asking your workers to take a pay cut?

“There really is no way to make a good situation out of asking your staff to take a pay cut. The best you can hope for is to make it less bad,” said Rodgers.

And how do you accomplish that? For starters:

·         Make pay cuts a last resort – exhaust every possibility before even entertaining the idea of pay cuts. If there’s a way around pay cuts, take it.

·         Give something back – perhaps it’s a shorter work day on Fridays (9 to 4 instead of 9 to 5); maybe a more casual dress code; how about an additional sick day or personal day? Giving something back lets employees know that the ownership does appreciate their sacrifice.

·         Deliver the news in person – this might not always be possible. If it is, do it. And remember to apologize. It’s important for employees to know that this is difficult for everybody and you genuinely feel bad about it.

·         Be forthcoming with news – if the pay cuts are temporary, provide employees with regular status reports on how the company is doing.

·         Do not make promises you cannot keep – stating pay cuts are only temporary is one thing, putting a date on when salaries will be reinstituted is foolish unless you are 100 percent certain it can happen.

Chances are, no matter what measures ownership takes, some employees will take the news worse than others. Some may even seek legal action. Having clearly stated policies in your employee handbooks regarding possible wage reductions and associated issues—e.g. switch from salary to a reduced salary and commission—can alleviate confusion and minimize the risk of potential litigation.

“When it comes to asking your employees to take a pay cut, nobody wins. By dealing with the situation with sensitivity, compassion and honesty you can minimize the bad feelings and that can go a long way with the employees who are still on board after the smoke clears from this recession,” said Rodgers.

Bond&Fill, LLC Advises PVC Distributors, Dealers and Consumers to Be Wary of Adhesive Imposters

Advanced TrimWright, Inc. / Bond&Fill, LLC, (http://www.bondfill.com) a leading fabricator of PVC products and adhesives based in Taunton, warns PVC adhesive distributors and dealers as well as the general public of inferior adhesive products being sold by Extreme Adhesives, Inc. under the Bond&Fill name.

On May 21, 2009 an injunction was issued by the Superior Court of Massachusetts prohibiting Extreme Adhesives, Inc. (formerly Adhesive Engineering & Supply) from marketing or selling Bond&Fill products under its own label.  Advanced TrimWright, Inc./Bond&Fill, LLC feels that in early 2009, Extreme breeched its contractual agreements by marketing formulations of structural adhesives owned by Advanced TrimWright, Inc./Bond&Fill, LLC.  Extreme Adhesives, Inc. and its agent, Moxie Sales and Marketing were ordered to immediately cease from offering products using or claiming to be the same formulation as Bond&Fill.

Bond&Fill Structural Adhesives and Sealants continue to be the highest performance products available today for cellular PVC fabrication.  The company’s precise formulations are the result of years of development and testing. Advanced TrimWright, Inc. /Bond&Fill, LLC guarantees reliable and consistent cure rates, color, viscosity, and structural performance.

“Those in the industry should be aware that there are products entering the market with no long-term performance evaluations and deficiencies may not show up until 6-12 months after application,” explained Daniel Andrade, president of Advanced TrimWright, Inc. / Bond&Fill, LLC.

He continued, “OEM users, private label distributors, retail dealers and consumers must not be misled – only Advanced TrimWright Inc./Bond&Fill products are the ‘real deal’. “

Skin Cancer Experts Compile “Less Sunny and Soothing South Shore Sites for the Summer”

Given the recent recognition of unusually high skin cancer rates on the South Shore, South Shore Skin Center, with locations in Cohasset and Plymouth, are compiling a list of “Less Sunny and Soothing South Shore Sites for the Summer”.

The public is encouraged to add to the list which will be published on South Shore Skin Center’s website – http://www.southshoreskincenter.com. Public suggestions may be emailed to sdubin@prworkzone.com. The deadline is June 27th – just after the conclusion of the public school year.

Some initial Less Sunny and Soothing South Shore Sites include South Shore Music Circus in Cohasset, Sam Diego’s tented patio in Plymouth, The Company Theater in Norwell, South Shore Natural Center in Norwell and F1 Boston in Braintree.

Last summer it was reported that some of the wealthiest communities on the South Shore have the highest melanoma skin cancer rates, in some cases more than double the number expected, according to newly released state data.

The latest Cancer Incidence in Massachusetts Report, released by the Department of Public Health, shows that between 2001 and 2005 melanoma occurred well beyond projections in Cohasset, Duxbury, Norwell, Hingham and Milton.

“We are encouraging families to be very careful about sun exposure and focusing on less sunny, yet fun summer events can help minimize that exposure,” noted Dr. Richard Eisen, a board certified dermatologist at South Shore Skin Center, one of the most progressive dermatology practices in Massachusetts with offices in Plymouth and Cohasset.

Dr. Ramzi Saad, also a board certified dermatologist at South Shore Skin Center, added, “Summer means free time to explore and try new things.  The Less Sunny and Soothing South Shore Sites for the Summer program is intended to give families fun and safe ideas.”

South Shore Skin Center

Founded in 1984, South Shore Skin Center is one of Massachusetts’ most progressive dermatology practices offering a wide range of medical, surgical and cosmetic services.

The pack grows! BLACK DAWG SEALCOAT®, New England’s premier asphalt maintenance company, welcomes Shattuck Sealcoating and Calvano’s Sealcoating to the BLACK DAWG family, creating one of the largest operations of its kind in New England.

GOFFSTOWN, NEW HAMPSHIRE…

Shattuck Sealcoating and Calvano’s Sealcoating, two of the asphalt industry’s most respected names in southern New Hampshire and northern Massachusetts, have just joined forces with BLACK DAWG SEALCOAT.  With these new additions, BLACK DAWG now has six franchise locations-making it one of the largest operators of its kind in New England.
Since BLACK DAWG’s inception less than four years ago, Jack Child, a former military officer, pilot and founder of BLACK DAWG SEALCOAT, has set out to transform not only the public’s perception of the asphalt maintenance industry, but to transform the industry itself.  He’s taken two giant steps forward with the blending of the Shattuck and Calvano crews into BLACK DAWG.
Ron Shattuck, owner of Shattuck Paving, has been in the paving and sealcoating industry for over 30 years, taking over the business his father started in 1971. Based in Milford, New Hampshire, Mr. Shattuck has added five new employees since signing up with BLACK DAWG. “We chose BLACK DAWG because we like the look and feel of the company from the top down. The branding of BLACK DAWG is enticing and memorable. That black dog really evokes positive associations and it’s a good intro to my customers,” noted Shattuck.
Mr. Shattuck will continue to operate Shattuck Paving under his own name, but will fold his sealcoat operation into BLACK DAWG. After 30 years of only carrying the family name, putting on the BLACK DAWG uniform was not an easy choice, but it’s one he’s glad he’s made.  “We are now a part of the fastest growing brand anywhere in the industry. This is good news for my business, my family, my employees and my customers.”
Andy Calvano, founder of Calvano’s Sealcoating, is happy to see the positive changes this can bring. “I’m thrilled to pass the torch to Ron and the BLACK DAWG Brand.  I know they’ll take good care of my many loyal customers.”
Pete Christman, owner of the BLACK DAWG franchise in Merrimack Valley, said, “I am excited at the possibilities this expansion brings us. BLACK DAWG is reshaping the industry.” He added, “Even in this economy, my own operation has doubled this year, and with the addition of Ron Shattuck and his 30 year reputation for delivering value, I see nothing but growth for BLACK DAWG.”
Growing in a down economy?  How can that be?  “There’s a lot of ‘diner talk’ where everybody sort of complains about the economy and how they can’t operate a business in this environment,” said Shattuck.  “My answer is this-you make adjustments, stay focused on customer service and you keep an eye open for opportunity and growth. BLACK DAWG is the perfect fit for me and my crews.”
BLACK DAWG’S strategy has been to win market share through superior customer service and a professional approach. In an industry sometimes sorely lacking in attentive service, BLACK DAWG succeeds by placing the consumer first and exceeding their expectations. “Every contact, every conversation with the customer is designed to build trust in us. And that trust saves our customers thousands of dollars because routine maintenance extends the life of their asphalt,” said Child.
This professional, customer service approach touches all aspects of the business. For starters – real people answer the phone. With Child’s military background, it’s no surprise the BLACK DAWG crews are neat, uniformed and professional.  Each team member is trained to the same high standards. Their trucks are clean and distinctive with the eye-catching BLACK DAWG logo and the equipment is state-of-the-art. Child’s efforts were quickly recognized.  Less than two years after launching BLACK DAWG, the company received the Citizens Bank “Not Your Typical Business Award.”
BLACK DAWG franchises use only the finest commercial grade materials for sealcoating and crack filling driveways and parking lots.  And, through BLACK DAWG’s sister company, YELLOW DAWG STRIPING, parking lot line striping services are available as well.  All work is backed by a full Warranty.  The company philosophy is to deliver the most value for the consumer’s hard-earned money.
With the addition of the Shattuck and Calvano operations, BLACK DAWG SEALCOAT’s reach has doubled in size overnight. BLACK DAWG service areas now include southern New Hampshire, the Merrimack Valley and I-93 corridor, the seacoast of New Hampshire, Andover and North Andover, MA, northern Worcester County, MA, northern Middlesex County, MA and Fairfield County, CT.
Every BLACK DAWG SEALCOAT franchisee owns a black dog or sponsors the adoption of one from a local shelter.  No word yet on when Ron will be bringing his new addition home to his seven children.  “I’ve been talking about it with my family, and we’re all excited about the dog, but the business has been hopping since we joined BLACK DAWG, and I haven’t had a chance to really start looking. But that’s a good problem, right?” he added laughing.
BLACK DAWG SEALCOAT is an accredited member of the Better Business Bureau (Shattuck brings with him an A+ Rating) and a member of the Exeter, Salem, Souhegan Valley and Fairfield Chambers of Commerce. In addition, BLACK DAWG actively supports local and national non-profit organizations including the PLUS Company, Fisher House for Families of Disabled Veterans, the Easter Seals Veterans Count Auction, Boys and Girls Clubs, the Red Cross, Bedford Little League and the Bedford Humane Society, among others.
