Volunteers needed for 4th annual Run for Faith on Sun., August 24

July 28, 2014 //  by admin

PLYMOUTH, MA…

The fourth annual Run for Faith recently announced it is looking for volunteers to man registration tables, water stations and other day-of-race functions. The four-mile race will take place at 8:30 am on Sunday, August 24 from Plimouth Plantation.
“Volunteers have played an integral part of the Run for Faith. I will never forget those people who volunteered for the first run, which took place right before Hurricane Irene hit,” 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, “The volunteers for our run were at first people who knew my mother or other members of our family. Now, our volunteers corps has grown to include people who have run in the race, heard about the scholarships we have given, or want to be part of the effort to raise money for the Dana Farber.”

In its brief history, the Run for Faith has donated more than $10,000 to the Dana Farber’s Yawkey Center for Cancer Care and more than $5,000 in scholarships to graduating Plymouth North and Plymouth South high school students. With the 4th annual Run for Faith set for Sunday, August 24, 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.

Those interested in volunteering can contact Matt Romboldi at 508-400-0751 or email info@runforfaithplymouth.org.

The four-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 professionally timed by Spitler Racing Systems. There is also a Stroller Division, so runners can run with their young children.

The Run for Faith is a gold member in the Bayside Runner Racing Series. The entry fee is $25 – which will once again go to scholarships for Plymouth high school students, the Dana Farber Cancer Institute, the Plymouth Public Library and other Plymouth charities and non-profits. Runners can register at www.runforfaithplymouth.org.

Prizes will go to top 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.

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!

Interested sponsors can contact Matthew Romboldi at 508-400-0751. For more information, please visit www.runforfaithplymouth.org, or email info@runforfaithplymouth.org. You can view the course online at: http://www.mapmyrun.com/routes/view/42074524.

Rodman & Rodman Supports “Act Relative to Net Metering and Solar Power”

July 23, 2014 //  by admin

Steve Rodman, CPA, MST
Steve Rodman, CPA, MST

Rodman & Rodman, P.C., an independent accounting and tax firm with a Renewable Energy and Cleantech specialty practice serving “green” clients throughout the U.S., weighs in on proposed legislation regarding Net Metering and Solar Power awaiting passage in the MA House and Senate by July 31st.

“Due largely to the state’s policies providing net metering (credits for returning excess generation to the grid) and Solar Renewable Energy Credits, renewable energy projects — solar projects in particular — have enjoyed exceptional growth in Massachusetts,” said Steve Rodman, president of Rodman & Rodman, P.C. “These programs, along with federal incentives in the form of 1603 grants and Investment Tax Credits have allowed solar projects to confidently project a reasonable return on investment, which in turn has attracted investment and financing. However, solar capacity qualifying for net metering facilities benefiting cities, towns and other public entities has quickly approached the 3 percent cap allocated to each of the state’s electric utility service areas, and the lingering debate about when and how much to raise the caps has become a serious threat to financing future projects.”

Under the current net metering regulations, qualified solar energy generation sites can use excess capacity to create credits against both the cost of electricity and service. “While solar advocates want to significantly increase net metering caps to encourage financing and development, utilities and some industry advocates argue that a large increase in qualified net metering solar shifts the cost of grid infrastructure and other utility expenses away from the direct beneficiaries of solar projects to the rest of utility rate payers,” explained Rodman. “There are strong feelings from some Massachusetts industry advocate groups that also take this position.”

A viable compromise may come in the form of a new Massachusetts bill (H4185), currently awaiting passage in the MA House and Senate. Under the new legislation, net metering caps for solar projects in the Commonwealth would be permanently removed in exchange for a minimum monthly bill, the elimination of Solar Renewable Energy Credits, and the ability for utilities to adjust rates for power received from Virtual Net Metering sources (solar power deployments that share net metering credits with other consumers such as a landlord who owns a solar array and shares the benefits with tenants). In addition, the bill would provide for a “Declining Block Program” of incentive rates that would assign new generation coming online to a specific block value of dollars per kWh over a 15-year period that would decline as new capacity comes online. The block value rates bundle both electricity metering credits and incentive rates for renewable energy.

Some industry groups, such as the Associated Industries of Massachusetts still strongly oppose the legislation as an unfair redistribution of ratepayer tariffs. Even some Massachusetts solar groups are in opposition because they feel that the new legislation replaces a more free-market system that was working well with one that is untested and much more in the control of utilities and regulators. At the same time, The Solar Energy Industry Association and the New England Clean Energy Council strongly support the bill as a reasonable compromise to break the current stalemate on net metering caps, create long-term certainty to reduce risks and encourage continued investment in solar, and meet the commonwealth’s goal of 1,600 MW of solar energy by 2020.

“We support the new legislation and believe strong growth of solar energy in the commonwealth will pay big dividends to all rate payers in the long term while allowing utilities a reasonable path to recover some of the cost of our growing grid infrastructure and service requirements. We also feel that while distributed solar generation may add some expense in the short term, it will add clean generation capacity, reduce transmission congestion, reduce demand for added fossil fuel generation, reduce the need for added pipe and wire infrastructure, ultimately increasing the overall performance of the grid. We also think that thousands of jobs, a growing tax base, and cleaner air are not bad benefits either,” said Rodman.

MARION, MA…

A good night sleep in the hospital isn’t easy to come by for anybody, let alone a child. That’s why South Coast Improvement Company (SCI), a design-build general contractor serving New England and the Mid-Atlantic states, recently donated 25 pillow puppets to the pediatric ward as part of South Coast Health Systems and Southcoast Hospitals’ Radiothon 2014 to benefit pediatric services at Southcoast Hospitals.

South Coast Improvement Vice President Sean Whalen was on hand to personally make the donation to the children of the pediatric ward.

“I’m not sure who enjoyed the pillow puppets more, the kids or staff,” said Whalen. “Seriously, the folks at South Coast Health Systems and South Hospitals Group, as well as the folks at FUN 107, should be commended for their work on the Radiothon, as well as the people who generously donated.”

Held on June 20, from 6 am to 6pm, the first-ever Radiothon 2014 raised more than $21,000 to benefit pediatric services at Southcoast Hospitals.

“As a general contractor that specializes in renovations for hospitals and medical facilities like Southcoast, we often have to plan our work around the operations of the facility. That requires a lot of planning with staff and some patients. A lot of times, we develop relationships with those patients to the point it’s a little sad when a project is done,” said Whalen. “The pillow puppets have become kind of our calling card for the facilities where we’ve done work. They never fail to bring a smile and we’re delighted to bring that to the Pediatric Ward here at Southcoast.”

South Coast Improvement Co is a recognized leader in providing building and renovation services to a client base of senior living, healthcare and institutional clients. For more information, please call 508-748-6545 or visit www.southcoastimprovement.com.

The future of dry cleaning comes to New Albany. Ole Miss Legend John Stroud opens Lapels Dry Cleaning at 501 West Bankhead Street, New Albany

NEW ALBANY, MS and HANOVER, MA…

As a professional basketball player and now coach of the high school squad in New Albany, John Stroud knows a thing or two about pressing. As the owner of the new Lapels Dry Cleaning located at 501 West Bankhead in New Albany, he’s expanded that knowledge of presses to include an innovative, environmentally friendly way of dry cleaning clothes. The results of that method were recently on display at the store’s grand opening on July 12.

“Lapels’ commitment to greener dry cleaning and customer service is what drew me and my wife Billye Jean to this opportunity and it’s plain to see that the way we dry clean makes clothes just plain look and feel better,” said Stroud. “We had a great turnout for the grand opening and we hope everybody who couldn’t make it will come on down to see and feel the Lapels Dry Cleaning difference.”

Lapels Dry Cleaning of New Albany opened for business on June 28. Hours for the store are Monday through Friday, 7 am to 7 pm; Saturday 8 am to 5 pm; and Sunday, 12 pm to 3 pm.

Lapels Dry Cleaning of New Albany uses GreenEarth Cleaning Solution to clean garments. GreenEarth represents the dry cleaning industry’s only non-toxic cleaning alternative. GreenEarth silicone’s unique, non-aggressive cleaning solution enables it to penetrate fabrics and remove soils without chemically interfering with the textile fibers themselves, helping to maintain their “like-new” look and feel.

Using the latest technology in equipment, along with the GreenEarth cleaning solution, Lapels is one of the few dry cleaners in Mississippi to be able to boast that there is no hazardous waste in their process.

“We would like to congratulate and welcome John and Billye Jean to the Lapels Dry Cleaning family. We are delighted to have them on board and we know the people of the New Albany area are going to love what Lapels has to offer,” said Kevin Dubois, CEO of Lapels Dry Cleaning, which has its corporate headquarters in Hanover, Massachusetts.

Beyond the environmentally friendly cleaning process is Lapels Dry Cleaning’s customer service. Lapels customers are greeted to a warm and inviting reception area, with friendly customer service representatives, and alteration services.

Lapels offers its customers Automatic Rewards earning them credit towards free dry cleaning for every dollar they spend, Loyalty Programs, a VIP Program which eliminates the need to wait in line and the use of a 24-Hour Drop Off Service. Same day service is also available with pick-up after 5 pm.
