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

May 22, 2013 //  by admin

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

May 17, 2013 //  by admin

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 17, 2013 //  by admin

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

May 14, 2013 //  by admin

: 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.

The popular TV show “Mad Men” has revived the luster of the advertising agency world.  Although the industry may no longer consist of an on-going cocktail party and romantic whirlwind, the industry continues to offer an open canvas for creative ideas and opportunity.

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

May 10, 2013 //  by admin

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.

VoiceNation volunteers plant vegetable garden at Gwinnett Children’s Shelter
VoiceNation, a preferred call center partner for thousands of businesses nationwide, celebrated Arbor Day in a unique way this year.

On April 26th, instead of planting a tree, the VoiceNation employee volunteer team planted a vegetable garden at the Gwinnett Children’s Shelter. The garden provides an opportunity for children residing at the shelter to learn more about the environment and obtain hands-on experience in maintaining, nurturing and harvesting their own food. The children will have a chance to get involved, and gain a sense of responsibility and accomplishment.

Armed with tools, plants and soil, VoiceNation arrived at the shelter with a dedicated team of six: Camille Childers, Caroline Culver, Kathy Levister, Ashley Pardue, and Joyce Wilmont. Sergio Perez of Gwinnett Children’s Shelter also assisted the team. VoiceNation built an 8′ x 4′ planter to house existing watermelon and cantaloupe plants. They also planted tomatoes, cucumbers, strawberries and bell peppers.

“Volunteering gives us the opportunity to have a real impact in our local community; to give back and plant a seed for the future,” noted Jay Reeder, VoiceNation’s president.

Thinking Inside the Box. Redefining what self storage means for Somerville.

May 7, 2013 //  by admin

SOMERVILLE, MA…

A high tech looking sparkling glass building is rising six stories along Route 93 at Assembly Square in Somerville, MA.  What is it?  An office building? Apartment complex?  No, it is a new state-of-the-art self storage facility with a restaurant, bike storage area, and community room located on the public plaza at the gateway to Assembly Square.

Opening in early June, the 50 Middlesex Avenue location is clearly visible from Interstate 93 and is an impressive addition to the Somerville skyline. The six story gleaming structure features state-of-the-art security, a secure drive-in area great for personal and business use, oversized elevators, and climate controlled storage units. The building will also be silver LEED equivalent. LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) is a voluntary, consensus-based, market­-driven program that provides third-party verification of green buildings. On the first floor will be Style Café, featuring coffee drinks and fresh gourmet sandwiches & catering. Visit GetInsideStorage.com for more information on the Somerville facility.

The new facility, managed by Extra Space Storage facility offers complimentary water, coffee, and use of a moving van for new customers. Additional community friendly features include a secure public bicycle room and community conference room that can be used FREE of charge.

“Somerville is centrally located to serve anyone in transition and searching for safe, secure, Class A storage,” noted Gerald Cohen, Manager of SSG Development, LLC. Cohen added, “People and businesses in transition – down-sizing, relocating students, remodeling, new home purchases, seasonal inventory, excess inventory – are creating great demand for state-of-the-art storage. We are excited to meet that need and to exceed customers expectations with a facility that makes the process financially feasible and stress-free.”

SSG Development made it a top priority to engage the local community groups, planning department and the mayor’s office to ensure they were developing a facility that fit into the community’s vision. “We welcomed and listened to the feedback of the local community. They know Somerville best and helped us develop a better facility, one that will strengthen Somerville as a whole, and support future growth at Assembly Square” said Dave Fulton, Chief Operating Officer at SSG Development.

SSG Development, LLC is a real estate investment and property development company located in Brookline, Massachusetts. This is SSG’s 9th self storage location. They develop, build and own the Class A state-of-the-art, multi-story, climate-controlled, self-storage facilities with sites in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut and Florida.
