Care2Call Outreach Program A “Home-Run” with Charities

VoiceNation, a full service voice communication solution provider and preferred call center partner for thousands of businesses nationwide, has officially announced their unique Care2Call voice communication solution for non-profit, tax-exempt charities.

VoiceNation’s Care2Call provides free access to voice communications infrastructure that charities need to thrive and make a difference in the lives of others. Charitable organizations with 501(c)3 status may now utilize VoiceNation’s Virtual Voicemail and faxmail free of charge, as well as other specialized communication services at reduced cost (for qualified recipients).

Keeping Charities Connected to Key Sources

Communication is vital when it comes to a charity’s ability to function and grow. From fundraising and media campaigns to networking with federal and state agencies, charities depend on reliable, consistent and high-quality communications daily.

“Charities operate on limited resources. Our Care2Call program gives charities the essential phone infrastructure they need to run as efficiently and effectively as possible. With voicemail and a virtual receptionist, charities no longer have to rely on volunteers or worry about having a full-time staff member available in order to answer important calls,” explained Jay Reeder, the company’s president.

Coverage in an Emergency

Care2Call also ensures that charities will be able to communicate during an emergency or natural disaster as VoiceNation’s system is housed at a secure, offsite location. Communications will not be disrupted if weather or other calamity shuts down normal phone service.

“VoiceNation has been the voice of the nation for my charity The Book Bank Foundation, as well as countless other non profit organizations. It’s critical to share, build and extend opportunities to other hardworking and honorable individuals, groups and organizations,” said Glenn Toby, Chairman & Founder The Book Bank Foundation.

He continued, “I can personally say I have been an eyewitness to the goodwill and care that VoiceNation has given to countless organizations that are philanthropies. Cause marketing and consumer advertising campaigns, but this gift is from the heart and not the pocket.”

60 seconds to stomp out skin cancer – routine foot self exams can increase early detection, survival

The next time you clip your toenails, take a closer look at the rest of your feet. An extra 60 seconds could save your life.

Boston Common Podiatry’s Jordana, Szpiro, DPM, FACFAS, is a member of the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons (ACFAS). The Boston foot and ankle surgeon says routine self-examinations of the feet are an important way to find skin cancer early, when it’s easiest to cure. Half of the people who learn they have melanoma of the foot die within five years because the cancer had already spread throughout their body by the time it was diagnosed.

Nearly 60,000 people will learn they have melanoma this year. It’s not known how many of those cases will involve the foot, but more than 8,100 melanoma patients will die… nearly one death every hour. If melanoma is detected in its earliest stages, 92 percent of patients are alive after five years.

Unlike many other types of cancer, melanoma strikes people of all age groups, even the young. Routine foot self-exams increase the likelihood of noticing suspicious moles, freckles or other spots.

Dr. Szpiro recommends focusing on the three most common areas for foot melanoma: the soles, between the toes, and around or under the toenails. She notes melanoma can develop anywhere on the body including areas that receive little sun exposure, such as the feet and ankles. If a mole, freckle or spot starts to change over the course of a month and becomes asymmetrical or changes its border, color, diameter or elevation, contact Boston Common Podiatry at 617-262-2266 immediately. Those are the ABCDEs, or signs, of melanoma.

For more information on malignant melanoma of the foot, visit the ACFAS patient Web site FootHealthFacts.org.

Is a sports drink worse than a soda? Ask a dentist.

Dr. Richard Wolfert, AKA The Toothboss

SOUTH WEYMOUTH, MA

There’s the perception that sports drinks are good, soda is bad. Sports drinks hydrate, soda dehydrates you and, worse, is loaded with sugar. While you probably won’t find any dental health professional recommending a soda any time soon, it might surprise you to know what dentists view as the lesser of two evils—at least when it comes to the well-being of your teeth.

“Most sports and energy drinks are loaded with sugar. In the short-term, they can re-energize you and rehydrate you somewhat. But if you drink several a day you are putting your teeth at serious risk,” said Dr. Richard Wolfert, AKA The Toothboss, who owns and operates a dental practice at 1121 Main Street in South Weymouth. “”Many sports drinks contain tons of sugar which combines with the bacteria in plaque that has adhered to the tooth surface. These acids erodes the enamel surface leading to cavities.”

These acids can soften tooth substance and promote formation of plaque, which erodes the enamel. Enamel breakdown leads to cavities.”

So is soda better for you than a sports or energy drink? According to a study contracted by the Academy of General Dentistry it is.

The AGD study considered what continuous exposure to a variety of “soft” drinks would do to your teeth, specifically the enamel portion of the tooth, over a 14-day period. Continuous exposure was considered several servings over the course of a 12-hour period.

The results revealed the erosion of a tooth’s enamel in milligrams:

  • Snapple Classic Lemonade – 30mg
  • Red Bull – 22mg
  • Gatorade (lemon-lime) – 20mg
  • Propel Fitness Water – 14mg
  • Arizona Iced Tea – 9 mg
  • Coca Cola – 3mg

So, technically, soda is better for your teeth than the sports drinks that promise to restore your electrolytes and other health benefits. But does that mean dentists endorse soda over sports drinks? Hardly.

“The lesser of two evils is still an evil,” said Wolfert. “What that study doesn’t reveal is that good old fashioned water from the tap doesn’t cause any erosion of your teeth over any amount of exposure. It also has no calories. And, depending on your community, even offers fluoride.”

Adds Wolfert. “Of course, it’s probably not realistic to think that people can drink only water and never have a soft drink. Moderation, as it is with everything, is the key. And if you want to have a sports drink or soda, be sure to brush or at least rinse your mouth out with water shortly after to lessen the exposure to those sugars can do.”

Dr. Wolfert’s practice is located at 1121 Main Street in South Weymouth, Massachusetts, and accepts most insurance plans. They also accept payment from most PPO and indemnity plans, including Blue Cross/Blue Shield and Delta Dental.

For more information on The Toothboss, visit Dr. Wolfert’s website at www.toothboss.com or call 781-335-0604 to schedule a consultation.

Crucial Bill in Massachusetts Would Guarantee Purchase of All SRECs

Rodman & Rodman, P.C., providers of specialized green energy and clean technology accounting and tax services, recently spent the day at the Massachusetts State House participating in “Massachusetts Clean Energy Day.” The Representatives and government officials that Rodman & Rodman’s Green Team met at the conference all encouraged an open dialogue between government and Massachusetts business owners in renewable energy and cleantech, an industry that continues to thrive and create jobs in the Commonwealth.

An example of upcoming legislation where renewable energy and cleantech business owners can help by sharing an opinion is House Bill No. 2915. Rodman & Rodman explained that this bill was introduced in January 2013 by a group of four state representatives led by Representative Thomas J. Calter from Plymouth. The bill, if passed, would require utility companies to purchase any SRECs remaining after the close of the SREC auction each year. A utility’s purchase obligation would be determined by the utility’s percentage share of the prior year’s renewable energy portfolio standard compliance obligation. All SRECs would be purchased at the fixed floor price of the auction.

Bill 2915 would help to guarantee a source of income for solar projects. As it stands now, any SRECs not sold in the auction would carry forward to the next year to be auctioned again. As projects are trying to secure financing to begin construction, the ability to show a guaranteed inflow of cash is becoming more and more crucial. By requiring the utilities to buy up all unsold SRECs at the end of the auction, the project is guaranteed to receive at least the auction floor price on the SRECs it produces.

“At present, many projects are selling their SRECs at prices below the auction floor, taking a lower sales price to guarantee a buyer. With the large number of SRECs being produced, buyers can get away with low purchase offers,” explained Steve Rodman, CPA MST, president of Rodman & Rodman.

He continued, “By requiring utilities to purchase the leftover SRECs at the end of the auction, there may be an incentive to hold off on selling SRECs prior to the auction. Since all SRECs will be required to be purchased, perhaps more will be entered into the auction and project owners may be able to demand a higher price for their SRECs from third party purchasers prior to the auction. Perhaps most importantly, the Calter bill would help clear the market and thereby help the distribution companies, competitive suppliers and ratepayers avoid high SREC costs and SACP obligations in the program’s middle years.”

Bill 2915 is currently in the House for consideration. Those who believe this bill would benefit their project or business are encouraged by Rodman & Rodman to contact their representatives and let them know.

Paul Raia, PhD Speaks About “Alzheimer’s Perfect Storm” at Old Colony Elder Services

May is Older Americans Month and the Administration on Aging (AoA), an agency of the U.S. Administration for Community Living, has announced that this year’s theme is “Unleash the Power of Age”.

According to the AoA, “People across our nation are achieving remarkable things in later life. Many older adults are experts in their fields, have years of valuable experience, and are using that knowledge to improve the lives of others.”

In honor of Older Americans Month, Old Colony Elder Services (OCES), a private, non-profit agency designated as an Aging Services Access Point (ASAP), hosted a talk by Paul Raia, PhD, an innovator and renowned expert in the field of dementia.

Dr. Raia spoke to OCES staff and board members about the “Alzheimer’s Perfect Storm”; he shared definitions and demographics, current research and Habilitation Therapy, an approach that he developed more than 20 years ago that is now accepted as the best standard of care.

Dr. Raia has been directing patient care and family support at the Alzheimer’s Association for over 22 years, and now serves as vice president of clinical programs at the MA/NH Chapter. He developed the Habilitation Therapy approach to dementia, which focuses on the patient’s emotions and their remaining capacities. As a frequent contributor to various publications and journals, Dr. Raia has written primarily on dementia as a treatable condition. He serves on the Editorial Board of the American Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease and frequently appears as an expert on Alzheimer’s for television, radio and print news media. Dr. Raia has been recognized by several organizations for his distinguished service receiving awards from The Massachusetts Gerontology Association, the Massachusetts State Legislature, the Alzheimer’s Association, the Massachusetts Bar Association and the Massachusetts Homecare Association.

“Dr. Raia is a pioneer in the field of dementia and we were very fortunate to have him as a guest speaker to share his vast knowledge of Alzheimer’s Disease, research and Habilitation Therapy,” noted Diana DiGiorgi, Executive Director of OCES.

New dirt on 2013 Old Sandwich Road Race. Kenyan Moninda Marube to defend half-marathon title at 2013 Old Sandwich Road Race

: 2012 Old Sandwich Road Race Half Marathon Winner Moninda Marube of Kenya with Race Director and Plymouth resident Craig Valentine Brenner. Marube will return to Plymouth, MA to run in the 2013 Old Sandwich Road Race half marathon.

PLYMOUTH, MA…

In 2012, the Old Sandwich Road Race celebrated its first international winner as Kenyan Moninda Marube set a course record in the half marathon. The Kenyan native recently announced he will return to run the dirt and defend his title in the 2013 Old Sandwich Road Race, which takes place on Sunday June 2.

“I have run many races in the U.S. and around the world. There is something special about the Old Sandwich Road Race that appeals to a runner’s soul. Maybe it’s the history, maybe it’s the dirt course. Most of all, it’s the people. I had a wonderful time running last year’s and am looking forward to returning,” said Marube.

The fourth annual Old Sandwich Road Race consists of a half marathon, 5k and 10k. A substantial portion of the half marathon takes place on the dirt section of Old Sandwich Road.

Originally a trail used by the Wampanoag Native American tribe, Old Sandwich Road later became the nation’s first true public road and a stagecoach route to ferry passengers and mail back and forth between the Massachusetts towns of Plymouth and Sandwich. Today, the road remains pretty much as the Pilgrims left it–a wide, scenic, dirt road bordered by beautiful tall pine trees and towering oaks. It offers perfect views for runners and a dirt road surface that’s far kinder to the body than asphalt or cement.

“We’re happy to have Moninda return to defend his title and that OSRR continues to be a desirable race for people across the country and now around the world,” said OSRR Spokesman Steve Dubin, noting that last year’s races drew runners from 28 states and four countries. “This year promises to be even more memorable with Moninda’s participation and the Boston Marathon runners.”

The Old Sandwich Road Race has waived the entry for Boston Marathon runners who, due to circumstances beyond their control, were unable to cross the finish line. One person, Julia Daly, of Cambridge, Massachusetts, has already accepted the OSRR’s invitation.

“Words cannot describe how I felt that day. I was running to raise money for Dana Farber Cancer Institute. My disappointment in not being able to finish meant very little compared to what was going on just a few miles ahead of me,” said Daly. “I’m grateful to have my family, friends and self come out of that day healthy and alive. I think the best way to honor those who perished and were hurt is to keep running and that’s what I plan to do in Plymouth this June and back in Boston next year.”

Boston Marathon runners can RSVP by e-mailing the following information to the OSRR Race Director at runosrr@gmail.com:

  • First and last name
  • Address
  • Age on race day
  • Cell number
  • Email address

The OSRR features a total $3,000 winner-take-all purses for the half marathon male and female winners ($1500 each) and special edition finisher’s medals for all half marathon participants. In addition, this year’s race includes:

  • Newest available timing technology.
  • Great top finisher and age group awards.
  • Personalized finisher announcements.
  • An awesome high quality tech shirt!
  • Free food to all runners and their screaming fans!
  • Full uniformed Boy Scouts manning the water stops.
  • Professional, broadcast finish announcer.

OSRR’s early bird rate for the 5k ($24), 10k ($40) and half marathon ($60) ends on May 27. Prices will increase for runners registering at later dates and on race day.

The Old Sandwich Road Race benefits area charities, including The Home for Little Wanderer’s South Campus in Plymouth. The Baird Center School is a year-round residential and day school treatment program for youth aged 10-18 with a wide range of emotional, behavioral, educational and psychiatric issues.

If you would like more information or are interested in running the 2013 Old Sandwich Road Race, please visit www.oldsandwichroadrace.com. If you or your company is interested in sponsoring the race, please contact Craig Valentine Brenner at 617-680-4230 or info@oldsandwichroadrace.com.

You can visit the Old Sandwich Road Race Web site at http://www.oldsandwichroadrace.com. Selected by Runner’s World, as “one of the five races not to miss in 2010”, The Old Sandwich Road Race also has pages on Facebook and Twitter.

Nonotuck Resource Associates, Inc. celebrates National Nurses Day with a gift to the One Fund

FLORENCE, MA…

For most Americans, May 12, 2013 represents Mother’s Day. For thousands of dedicated nursing professionals, many of whom are mothers, the day represents another significant milestone: the birthday of Florence Nightingale. To honor the founder of modern nursing’s birthday and the invaluable contributions of nurses everywhere, Nonotuck Resource Associates, a company that has helped transform the lives of hundreds of people with intellectual and physical disabilities by offering the personalized service of shared living and Adult Family Care, has  donated $500 to the One Fund to support victims of the tragedy at this year’s Boston Marathon.

“Ten years ago we struggled with many aspects of health care and the agency didn’t have the resources to address this critical issue.  Today we have qualified, committed, dedicated, caring nurses in all of our offices serving the health care needs of about 500 people from North Adams to the Cape in our shared living and adult family care households,” said George H. Fleischner, executive director of Nonotuck Resource Associates, Inc. “Saying thank you to these incredible men and women didn’t seem enough so we are making a donation in the name of Nonotuck nurses to the One Fund.”

Florence Nightingale’s birthday is recognized by the American Nurses Association as part of National Nurses Week, which takes place annually from May 6 to May 12. May 6 represents the official National Nurses Day.

“There are many challenges in nursing; one of the hardest is probably helping those we work with through vulnerable times. The One Fund Boston was truly a great idea!! It absolutely represents our nurses’ commitment, dedication and focus to our communities. I cannot think of a better gift,” said Rachael Perrea, an RN with Nonotuck. “If more businesses and organizations took Nonotuck’s lead and donated to causes in need, we could all help to make this world a little better in a big way… I feel honored to be a part of this donation and blessed to be a part of Nonotuck.”

Nonotuck offers Shared Living, Adult Family Care and Day Services for families who choose to care for their loved ones suffering with Alzheimer’s, autism, brain injuries, cancer, muscular dystrophy and other intellectual and physical disabilities at home.
