Cheers. Brewing a New Niche – Emerson Bearing Boston Announces Craft Brewer Division

August 6, 2015 //  by admin

EB_logo2C_tagline_5inWith craft brewers cropping up across the nation, Emerson Bearing Boston, a bearing company catering to OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers) and MRO (Maintenance, Repair and Operations) markets around the world, has found a new niche.

As a supplier of bearings and related products to the packaging and food processing industries, Emerson Bearing Boston has established a Craft Brewer Division dedicated to their rapidly expanding small and independent brewer customer base. Mike Quinn, Marketing Specialist, oversees the division.

According to the Brewers Association, craft brewers accounted for 11 percent volume share of the marketplace in 2014, up from 5 percent in 2010. And steady growth is expected to continue.

Emerson Bearing Boston provides bearings utilized in the brewing process, which includes mixing, bottling, canning, seaming, labeling and also in any part of the process that involves conveyance. Emerson Bearing Boston is one of the only suppliers of hybrid stainless steel or ceramic bearing seaming rolls, which are made of advanced materials to last longer and run cooler. They also provide stainless steel single roller ball bearings and ceramic ball bearings, which are used in canning and handling lines.

“Packaging and food processing are usually fully automated and often take place under extreme operating conditions. It requires low maintenance, special hygiene requirements and operational reliability,” said Steve Katz, president. “By supplying dependable parts and service, we’ve been able help craft brewers such as Newburyport Brewing Company of Mass., West Sixth Brewery of Kentucky and Moab Brewery of Utah keep their production lines moving.”

It’s no stretch to say the fifth annual Run for Faith, which commemorates the life of Faith “Marcy” Romboldi, is welcoming to new sponsors. For more info, visit www.runforfaithplymouth.org. The race takes place on Sunday, August 23 at 8:30am at Plimoth Plantation.

PLYMOUTH, MA…

The Run for Faith recently announced the availability of sponsorship opportunities for new corporate sponsors for its fifth-year race, which takes place on Sunday, August 23 at 8:30am at historic Plimoth Plantation.

The Run for Faith offers several layers of sponsorship opportunities, which includes: Hummingbird Sponsorship ($2500); Song Sparrow Sponsorship ($1000); Red Robin Sponsorship ($500); and the Chickadee Sponsorship ($250). Each sponsorship contains different levels of exposure for businesses; the greater the sponsorship amount, the greater exposure for your company.

“The local business community has been very generous to us from year one. Part of that is due to our members of our family being a part of the Plymouth business community for many years and many knew my mother,” said Matthew Romboldi, Run for Faith organizer and son of Faith Marcia “Marcy” Romboldi, in whose memory the race is held. Faith lost her battle to ovarian cancer in 2010.

Added Romboldi, “The other part is that word has gotten around about the race and the causes we support—like the Yawkey Center for Cancer Care and ovarian cancer research, as well as the local high school scholarships.”

Some of this year’s sponsors include: Ziggy’s Ice Cream; Marty’s Buick GMC; Plimoth Plantation; Cold Spring AC; Plymouth Belle Cruises; Stevens The Florist; Mayflower Wine & Spirits; Newfield House; Mamma Mia’s; Mahasset Gardens; Cape Auto; Baker’s Auto; RJF Homes; G&G Silkscreen Embroidery; Associated Engineers, Inc; Unity Club; WPLM-FM; Plymouth Rock Racing; JM Schneider & Family; Rogers & Gray Insurance; Discount Detail; Tiny T’s Sealcoat; JB Carpentry;  Northeast AC; and the Water Street Cafe.

In its brief history, the Run for Faith has donated more than $20,000 to the Dana Farber’s Yawkey Center for Cancer Care, $10,000 in scholarships to graduating Plymouth North and Plymouth South high school students, as well as monies supporting local non-profits like Plymouth Public Library and Sweet Adelines.

With the 5th annual Run for Faith set for Sunday, August 23, organizers are counting on year five of this 4.58-mile race to break previous fundraising efforts and new sponsors are a significant part of that endeavor.

Those interested in being a sponsor can contact Matt Romboldi at info@runforfaithplymouth.org.

The 4.58-mile Run for Faith race 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 chip timing 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.  Walkers are welcome.

The Run for Faith is a gold member in the Bayside Runner Racing Series. The entry fee is $25and runners can register at www.runforfaithplymouth.org.

Cash prizes will go to top three finishers, male and female, and awards will be given to top finishers for various age groups. 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.

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.

Raymond and Charles Miller, along with their store manager Bob Hendrickson and bakery manager Tim Moreau, met with the Puiia brothers and decided that Between Rounds product would be a perfect fit for their bakery. As a grocery partner, Miller Farm Family Markets ShopRite will offer Between Rounds signature bagels in their bakery department.

“This is a good example of one family business working with another to bring local products to the community. Between Rounds provides an exceptional product which we are delighted to make available to our customers,” said Raymond Miller.

In addition to ShopRite in Enfield, Between Rounds has established grocery partnerships with ShopRite stores in Manchester, East Harford, Southington and Wallingford; Highland Park Markets in Suffield, Farmington, Manchester, Coventry and Glastonbury; West Side Marketplace in Rocky Hill; Geissler’s Supermarkets in Agawam, Bloomfield, East Windsor, Granby, Somers and South Windsor; Lyman Orchards Apple Barrel Market in Middlefield and Gardiner’s Market in South Glastonbury.

Sandwich, MA-based McNamara & Yates offers debt relief with new bankruptcy division

Cape Cod Bankruptcy Attorney Tim McNamara of McNamara & Yates, P.C.

July 28, 2015 //  by admin

Cape Cod Bankruptcy Attorney Tim McNamara of McNamara & Yates, P.C.

SANDWICH, MA…

In the past, filing bankruptcy carried a social stigma that probably kept many people from seeking out this alternative. While the perception of filing bankruptcy may have changed, many struggling households do not seek out this option simply out of not knowing what it entails. With that in mind, McNamara & Yates, a Sandwich, MA-based law firm, has established a bankruptcy division to better serve people who can benefit from the new beginning filing for bankruptcy can provide.

The new division, under the leadership of Attorney Timothy McNamara, will specialize in Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy filings. Like most bankruptcy offices the division will also provide credit counseling and other resources needed for individuals to complete his/her bankruptcy filing. What will set this bankruptcy practice apart from others, however, is an incorporation of new technology for faster case review times.

“Many law practices in our area seem to take a ‘call us when you need us’ approach towards prospective clients.” said McNamara. “With the introduction of our new online case review service at www.mabankruptcylawyers.com, we’re telling people that we want them to check in with us as early as possible. That’s why we offer a free consultation for all first-time clients.”

A Chapter 7 bankruptcy filing is something most people are familiar with. It involves a liquidation of all assets. What some people still do not know is that even though you liquidate your assets there are some exemptions that can enable filers to keep certain items and possessions.

A Chapter 13 filing is a debtor reorganization that individuals use to try and restructure their debt(s) and then pay those off. A typical Chapter 13 filing can mean repayment of your debts over a three- to five-year time period.

According to the American Bankruptcy Institute, there were approximately 3734 Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 filings in Massachusetts through May 2015. The total for all of 2014 was 10,033.

“Every filing is different. Sometimes both Chapter 13 and Chapter 7 are options. In other cases, there is only one option,” said McNamara. “Our firm has the experience and expertise to review a debtor’s financial situation and determine the best strategy for the debtor, as well as whether or not more than one strategy is available.”

For a free bankruptcy case review, you visit McNamara & Yates’ website at www.mabankruptcylawyers.com or call 508-888-8100. Payment plans are available.

For more information on the firm, visit www.cape-law.com.

Founded in 2012, McNamara & Yates, P.C. is a full-service law firm specializing in bankruptcy, business law, estate planning, guardianship, Medicaid planning and probate law.

Volunteers needed for 5th annual Run for Faith on Sun., August 23

July 28, 2015 //  by admin

PLYMOUTH, MA…

The fifth annual Run for Faith recently announced it is looking for volunteers to man registration tables, water stations and other day-of-race functions. The 4.58-mile race will take place at 8:30 am on Sunday, August 23 from Plimoth Plantation.

“Volunteers are a key to any successful road race. For the Run for Faith, they have been even more important. I will never forget those people who volunteered for the first run, which took place right before Hurricane Irene hit. Many of those people have been back ever year since,” said 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.

Adds Romboldi, “Volunteers for the Run for Faith come from all walks of life. They are friends and the children of friends of my mother. They are people who have run the race before but can’t this year. Some are just people who have heard about the race and want to be part of the effort to raise money for the Dana Farber. All are welcome.”

In its brief history, the Run for Faith has donated more than $20,000 to the Dana Farber’s Yawkey Center for Cancer Care and more than $10,000 in scholarships to graduating Plymouth North and Plymouth South high school students. With the 5th annual Run for Faith set for Sunday, August 23, organizers are counting on year four of this four-mile race to break previous fundraising efforts and volunteers are a significant part of that endeavor.

Back to bike riding? Watch your back.

July 27, 2015 //  by admin

Getting back to bike riding? Watch your back says the Chiropractic Society of Rhode Island with helpful tips on selecting a bike and the proper settings—like having a level seat.
Getting back to bike riding? Watch your back says the Chiropractic Society of Rhode Island with helpful tips on selecting a bike and the proper settings—like having a level seat.

DATELINE: Rhode Island…

“It’s like riding a bicycle”. How many times have we heard or used that expression? Yet if you have been away from bike riding for a long period of time, getting back in the saddle can have some repercussions on your body, particularly your back, if your bike is not set up properly.

“Biking can be a great workout for those looking to ease back into an exercise program,” said Dr. Michael Gottfried, president of the Chiropractic Society of Rhode Island and a chiropractor at Aquidneck Chiropractic. “You do have to be careful with bike selection and the settings on your bike so that your new biking regimen can benefit you the most.”

The most important part of getting back to bike riding is finding a bike that fits you. The size of the frame you choose is dictated by your leg length, not your actual height. To find the right size, straddle the bike with both feet flat on the ground. There should be an inch or two of clearance between your crotch and the bike frame.

You also want to be sure your saddle or bicycle seat is positioned correctly. To determine that, have someone hold the bike while you sit on it. Rotate your pedals until horizontal in the 3 o’clock and 9 o’clock positions. If your saddle is positioned properly, your forward knee should be directly over the respective pedal axle (with the ball of your foot on the pedal). If you need to adjust the seat, needed, loosen the seat post and slide the saddle forward or backward, keeping the seat level.

You always want your seat to be level. You may want to check this periodically. You can do so by using a carpenter’s level balanced on the saddle while the bike is on level ground. An unlevel saddle tips you too much in either direction and that places pressure on your arms, shoulders, and lower back.

Finally, there’s handlebar position and distance. Handlebar setup is a matter of personal preference because it will affect shoulder, neck, and back comfort. Generally, handlebars are positioned higher for comfort (a more upright riding position) and lower for improved aerodynamics. If you are having issues with your back, upright might be the preferred way to go.

“If you’re unsure, most bike shops will help you position your seat and handlebars appropriately. If you’re presently seeing a chiropractor, you may also want to bring your bike to next appointment and ask your doctor for his/her advice,” said Gottfried. “Also, if you are really concerned about what bike riding might do, try a recumbent bicycle, which is more biomechanically aligned to allow for minimal stress on the back and knees.”

The Chiropractic Society of Rhode Island, founded in 1918, is one of the oldest chiropractic associations in the country and represents over 60 of the practicing chiropractic physicians in the state of RI. Chiropractic is the largest non-drug health care profession in the US. The chiropractic profession has been affording relief for many types of health conditions naturally, without drugs and their potentially harmful side-effects, for over 100 years.

Chiropractic Society of Rhode Island is located at 1272 West Main Road, Building 2, Middletown, RI 02842. For more information, call (401) 207-0700 or visit www.RIchiro.org.

Rent to Own Division expands and reawakens the American dream of home ownership.

July 27, 2015 //  by admin

More than 82 percent of Americans do not qualify for a conventional mortgage.  Life events such as bankruptcy, insurmountable medical bills, divorce and career changes can be major roadblocks.

 

Pre-Property Solutions, based in both Newport, RI and Northboro, MA, has expanded its “Rent to Own” division that offers an alternative. The enhanced program helps home seekers with poor credit, no credit and/or a limited amount to invest.

 

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.

 

Chris Prefontaine, Managing Director of Pre-Property Solutions and a 24 year veteran in the real estate industry, notes, “We offer an avenue to home ownership that most are not familiar with. This is a solid, proven, step by step process to help Massachusetts and Rhode Island residents achieve their home ownership dream.  We have helped dozens of families achieve home ownership and we are anxious to assist others.”

 

The “rent to own” program is straight-forward. The buyer deposits 3 to 10 percent of the home’s market value price.  Pre-Property Solutions then connects the buyer 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.

 

During the credit repair process, often times a portion of the rent payment is applied towards the purchase of the home.

 

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.

 

The company works with sellers who are flexible on price and terms, or who may be stuck with over leveraged homes and behind on mortgages. Some sellers are in no hurry and just want top dollar and happily work with their terms.

 

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 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, Northboro​, MA.
