“Show Us Your Electric Bill” –  Plymouth Solar Energy expands Commercial Division and offers Solar Feasibility Study.

Fred Paris, solar energy pioneer and a respected industry expert, is getting ready for an explosion of commercial solar energy projects. Paris’s company, Plymouth Solar Energy, based in Plymouth, MA, expanded their Commercial Solar team to include structural engineering. 

“Renewable energy systems on commercial buildings require a full spectrum of resources,” Paris said. “The commercial team’s strengths now include electrical, solar, and construction expertise working together to design and install commercial solar.”

“We are entering a period where the rising cost of energy and declining cost of solar have shortened the payback period significantly,” Paris added. “And since commercial solar is always a financial decision, short payback for high-performance solar make these projects more viable than ever.”

High-performance solar is more than a marketing term, asserts Paris. He expanded, “Commercial buildings may have flat, pitched, metal or rubber roofing in various states of repair. In the past we would advise an owner to fix the roof, and we would return at a later date. This added months of setback and loss of project control. If the building is more than ten years old, the roof typically needs some work. Having these skills in-house is advantageous in both time and the quality of construction.”

Paris continued, “Having people that focus on commercial solar allows us to a complete turnkey package. For example, we might seal a metal roof project with a reflective silicone membrane – not just sealing the roof but offering both thermal and reflective attributes – increasing albedo (reflection) and lowering rooftop temperature. Lower temperatures and more light increase solar production and serve to cool the entire building.”

As electrical rates continue to climb, the payback period for commercial solar investment is getting shorter. With Federal solar tax credits up to 30% and, with 80% bonus depreciation in 2023, things are looking good for commercial solar.

As Owner of Plymouth Solar Energy and an educator/trainer, Paris founded the Wind Sun Institute to deliver certification training to solar energy installers. Paris taught solar energy in the US and Canada, and subsequently wrote solar courses for Massasoit Community College. While teaching Strategic Planning at Northeastern, Paris formed Plymouth Solar Energy, hiring and staffing the company with students from his solar energy courses.

Plymouth Solar Energy is offering a complimentary Solar Feasibility Study for commercial building owners and managers.  The objective and informational study includes a structural analysis of the building, utility bill analysis to determine current power usage, and irradiant roof analysis to measure the integrity to accommodate solar panels. 

Plymouth Solar Energy is located at 18 Main Street Extension, Plymouth, MA 02360. For more info, visit www.PlymouthSolarEnergy.com . For a complimentary Solar Feasibility Study or questions, call (508) 746-5430 or email info@plymouthsolarenergy.com .

Grow Tent line sprouts. Green Goddess Supply expands concierge committed home grow options.

Green Goddess Supply, producer of the award-winning home grow system called “The Armoire” which is designed to look like furniture and meld nicely into any home décor, has sprouted a new line of Grow Tents to expand the company’s concierge committed home grow options. 

The new ATS-42 Grow Tent System is a complete kit that contains all of the hardware you need to start growing — just add seed, soil and water!  The system includes a super high quality tent with thick, sturdy 22mm poles and a super thick 2000D woven nylon fabric (many tents on the market are a looser weave, lighter weight 600D fabric).  The tent is 4′ wide, 2′ deep and 6′ tall (48″ x 24″ x 72″). The MSRP for the entire system is $1,200.

This kit contains not one, but TWO independently controllable grow lights (our own proprietary Unicorn Series LED grow lights), 2 internal fans, 1 external exhaust fan with LCD Controller Module, carbon scrubber (air filter), 2 fabric grow pots, 2 plastic 17″ plant saucers, a light timer, power strip / surge suppressor, a padlock and UV-400 protective glasses. 

Although you can do whatever you want with the hardware once you get it home, this entire kit was designed to support Green Goddess Supply’s own proprietary “High Yield + Easy Grow Autoflower Protocol” that makes it super easy for anyone to get an average of 1/4lb of flower per-plant in as little as 60 days (with folks often getting double that, per plant).

Easy Setup

Getting started with our tent kit easy. Included are illustrated instructions for setting up the tent itself, and step-by-step instructions for installing the fans and lights. 

The whole process takes about 30 minutes, no tools required. Then it’s as easy as plugging in the power, planting your seeds, and adding water.

But remember – if you have any problems with setting up the system, we have detailed FAQs, helpful videos, and our Concierge Support Team will happily jump on a call and walk you through the process.

Optimization

The ATS-42 home grow system is optimized to cultivate auto-flowering strains and consistently produce eye-popping yields every cycle, with minimal fuss by following our “High Yield + Easy Grow Autoflower Protocol.”

Not sure what Autoflowers are? No worries – Green Goddess Supply is there to help. Grow concierges will point you in the right direction to find appropriate, high quality seeds, and more.

Not your granddaddy’s tent.

There are several problems with old-school grow tents that sow confusion and fear: they’re complicated, large, and can be overwhelming to figure out. 

This is why Green Goddess created this new, improved grow tent.  The ATS-42 grow tent is an easy-to-use, low maintenance growing and nurturing system that gives you impressive results in a quick and consistent time frame, and includes all of the components (fans, lights, tent, and more) so you don’t have to figure anything out on your own.

And if you’re ever confused or concerned, the Concierge Service is designed to hand-hold you through the process!

Results are quick and impressive. Go from sprout to harvest in as little as 60 days and consistently grow a quarter pound or more of yield per plant, pulling between a half pound and a full pound, each cycle! The system needs only 2 minutes of attention a day for incredible results.

Rookies wanted. From Sprout to Harvest in as little as 60 days.

If you’ve grown before and know what you’re doing, you’ll be off to the races with this complete system. But if you’ve never grown before, fear not!

The Green Goddess easy-to-use grow systems come complete with Concierge Service that’s designed for beginners! Green Goddess doesn’t believe medicine should be just for those who can afford it – we’re on a mission to empower everyone and anyone to be able to grow their own at home themselves, quickly, easy, and inexpensively. 

95% of our Green Goddess customers have never grown before, and they’re getting amazing results.

Kingston theater production of “Auntie Mame” to Help Local Hospital.

Two local theatre companies are joining forces to bring Auntie Mame to the stage this holiday season.  Rogue Theatre Company and True Repertory Theatre will be co-producing this much loved, rarely done, classic comedy.  Auntie Mame, which enjoyed a lengthy Broadway run as both a play, and later a musical, and popular film versions of each, enjoys an almost cult like following. 

Auntie Mame will be presented at The Beal House, 222 Main Street, Kingston, on December 9 and 10, at 8:00 PM; December 11 at 6:30 PM; and December 11, 17, and 18 at 2:00 PM. 

“Those that know the show, passionately love it,” says Victoria Bond, whose mother was such a fan.  “My mother was waiting for me to play Auntie Mame, unfortunately, she passed away before we were able to do the show,” explains Bond.  Her mother, who battled Frontotemporal Dementia, was a patient at the Senior Behavioral Health Center at Beth Israel Deaconess Lahey Hospital in Plymouth, who cared for her until her passing in January of 2020.  $5.00 of every ticket will be donated to the unit that cared for her mother.  “I will finally be playing Auntie Mame – it’s my way of celebrating my mother and thanking the kind people at BID that cared for her.”

Donald Sheehan, the founder and artistic director of True Repertory Theatre says, “Our theatre companies are like-minded, in that we both try to give back to the community.  We have our project 719 community outreach program that regularly tries to give back to the local community and we are happy to be a part of this unique collaboration.”  Paul Noonan, an artistic advisor with True Rep remarked, “So many families have to confront cognitive failures and everyone in the cast is proud to be working on this project, to not only raise money for a local resource, but to help raise awareness of the issue.”  

The story revolves around young Patrick Dennis who loses his father and goes to live with his eccentric Auntie Mame in New York City, where he becomes a part of her madcap life. The show will be directed by Donald Sheehan, who said of the production,

“This is a fast-paced, funny show with a lot of characters and locations.  It gives us an opportunity to be creative and I think audiences will love Auntie Mame.” Adds Victoria Bond, “She is someone who believes in loving life and living it to the fullest — I can’t think of a better message right now. As Auntie Mame says, “Yes! Live! Life’s a banquet and most poor suckers are starving to death!”

The cast includes Victoria Bond (Plymouth), Chris Bailey (Plymouth), Donald Sheehan (Pembroke), Meredith Johnson (North Attleboro), Scotty Kippenham (Rockland), Brian Kenerson (Bridgewater), James Sullivan (Braintree), Mark Reed (Hull), Jennifer Serowick (Scituate), Thomas McCoy (Marshfield), Emily Waystack (Dorchester), and Anthea Dimond of Kingston will stage manage.  

Auntie Mame will be presented at The Beal House, 222 Main Street, Kingston, on December 9 and 10, at 8:00 PM; December 11 at 6:30 PM; and December 11, 17, and 18 at 2:00 PM. 

Tickets are $25 for general admission and $22 for seniors and students and may be purchased at the door or through the True Rep website, https://www.truereptheatre.com/shows.

A New Urgent Care Model has evolved at Plymouth Pediatric Associates

Plymouth Pediatric Associates (“PPA”) is pleased to announce the launch of a new Urgent Care model that offers patients visits for illness or injury that is overseen by a dedicated physician. Unlike other pediatric clinics, PPA’s model creates a more cohesive healthcare experience for urgent visits. Dr. Marietta Calisto-Cooney, a long-time physician at PPA, is leading the new model.

Dr. Calisto-Cooney has shifted her focus to the support and oversight of the Urgent Care team, allowing her passion for educating to shine. This new Urgent Care model is staffed by a team of nurse practitioners and the lead physician. With this approach, Dr. Calisto-Cooney has the flexibility to spend more time with patients and their families and provide assistance for more complicated situations. Most importantly, with PPA’s mission to treat the whole child, Dr. Calisto-Cooney now acts as the bridge between the patient’s primary care physician and the Urgent Care team, developing a seamless patient experience. “This is my opportunity to marry my two passions together, caring for my patients and teaching”, Dr. Calisto-Cooney said. “Our staff truly bends over backward for patients and will go above and beyond in many cases. Our culture, as a whole, is supportive and caring, which makes PPA stand out to me. It feels great to be a part of this team and know that your peers are on the same page as you.”

For Plymouth Pediatric Associates, this unique Urgent Care model is the newest addition to the specialty services they provide. As the region’s only Preferred Boston Children’s Primary Care Practice, PPA provides patients and their families access to a large network of specialists, leading research, and treatments. Urgent care appointments are available 363 days a year at PPA. The facility has a separate waiting area and separate exam rooms used solely for urgent care. Located at 148 Industrial Park Road in Plymouth, their patients are welcomed into a state-of-the-art building and comfortable open area dedicated to their needs.

Plymouth Pediatric Associates puts the individual first and is committed to bringing the best, individualized treatment plan to each patient and family. Providing extraordinary care, close to home.

The “Why” of Type One Fitness
Type One Fitness is a boutique fitness center with a unique focus on diabetes wellness that is open to everyone. Type One Fitness provides a place where the type 1 diabetes community can find support for the autoimmune disease and end the stigma of what type 1 diabetes is and who it affects through education and awareness programming. Type One Fitness provides a fully integrated health program for type 1 diabetes patients and the general public. The center offers a place for real time conversation and education for those living with type 1 diabetes. A place that improves the lives of others in the community by offering support not only for individuals with diabetes, but also for parents and caregivers, partners, siblings and friends as well. Outside of a medical facility, there is currently no facility that welcomes and merges a comprehensive type 1 diabetes connection with the general public. Type One Fitness does just that while enabling those affected by the disease to obtain any non-medical support that they need. 

Type One Fitness is the brainchild of Type One, Inc. founders Paul Foti and Tyson Sunnerberg. Sunnerberg was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes when he was 21 years old and knows firsthand that the right resources and support make all the difference in the world when it comes to managing this disease. Five years ago, at the age of five, Sunnerberg’s daughter Elyse was also diagnosed with type 1, which intensified his drive toward a cure, and provided a firsthand understanding of the constant challenges the entire family faces when living with an individual with type 1 diabetes.

Type One Fitness memberships are now available. To learn more about Type One Fitness and all that the athletic center offers, visit the website at https://typeonefitness.org

Shakti Green Lit shooting its shot at the Canna World.

Shakti Green Lit, a new THC infused energy shot created by a local African American couple with roots in cannabis and health, is emerging as a sales leader in Massachusetts’ $1.4 billion per year adult-use cannabis industry. Fifty-five dispensaries are currently carrying the product and over 4,000 units have been sold since their quiet launch. Following their immediate success, co-owners and equity applicants Maur Stringer and Cynthia Mompoint are looking toward expansion in other legal markets across the country. The product was developed in a collaboration with Revolutionary Clinics.

Unlike many other products found on dispensary shelves that often leave users physically sluggish or mentally foggy, Shakti Green Lit is designed to enhance ‘energy, ability, strength, effort, power and capability’, for which the word in the product’s name ‘Shakti’ refers to. A synergistic balance of 5mg nano-emulsified cannabis extract, 100mg caffeine combined with a proprietary blend of Vitamins  B12, B6, B3 and L-Taurine, L-Theanine deliver an immediate, smooth and euphoric effect.

The drinks compact 1.93 fl oz package (the same size as a 5-hour Energy®) makes it an ideal delivery system for workouts, social gatherings and other smoke-free situations that can be elevated with a burst of focus and shift in perspective. At 2mg of sugar per bottle, both the lemon green tea and strawberry     lemonade varieties can be accommodated by even the strictest diets.

Husband and wife team Maur Stringer and Cynthia Mompoint have had their roots firmly planted in cannabis culture for decades. Maur is a survivor of the War on Drugs. His first major scar came as a felony conviction for sale of a class A substance (marijuana) to a minor, though he was a minor himself at the time. At just 14 years old, he was tried and punished as an adult. After years of black and gray market operations, Maur is ecstatic to finally ‘go legal’. Cynthia’s relationship with cannabis is primarily therapeutic in nature. The plant helped her to safely and comfortably deliver the last 2 of the couple’s four children.

10,000 mowers and blowers tuned and repaired.  And now franchising the business concept.

Tune-up or repair your snow blower, lawn tractor or lawn mower right in your driveway?  The new “house call” concept has achieved validation. On Sight Repairs based in Rockland, MA and serving the entire South Shore has reached a major milestone – 10,000 mowers and blowers tuned and repaired.

Earl Cogswell, a Rockland, MA resident and founder/manager of On Sight Repairs noted, “We started the concept in 2011 and I guess the numbers confirm that people really love the convenience of having their mowers and blowers tuned and repaired right in their own driveway – whether they are home or not.”

He added, “We are delighted to provide first class repair service and remove the hassle of arranging for pick or delivery.  Typically, we can schedule someone within a week and tune or fix their small engine in an hour. And the cost is quoted prior to starting the work. There are no surprises.”

“And, for the first time,” continued Cogswell, “We are offering an affordable franchise opportunity for those who are handy or good at managing the workforce.”

Tune-ups start at $89 and include a thorough procedure including change oil / waste, change spark plug (adjust gap), replace air filter/pre-cleaner, sharpen & balance blade, lubricate all pivot points, check crankshaft for damage, check ignition and compression, check safety components and test run, check self-propelled / grease / adjust belt, inspect starter (pull/electric/touch-n-mow). inspect primer, check & adjust for proper engine speed, replace fuel line, drop carb bowl and clean, scrape mower deck, flush fuel system, and adjust & lubricate cables.

The dilemma of homeowners is many big box sellers of power equipment want no part of malfunctions or maintenance.  On the other hand, many repair shops bristle at the idea of anything less than several weeks for turnaround.

No pickup truck to transport your mower or blower?  Don’t want to pay for pick up and drop off services?  On Sight Repairs is an attractive, affordable solution.

Third party does tune up and repair by companies such as On Sight Repairs does NOT invalidate new equipment warrantees/guarantees. 

On Sight Repairs travels to homes throughout the South Shore of Massachusetts including Abington, Cohasset, Duxbury, Halifax, Hanover, Hanson, Hingham, Kingston, Marshfield, Norwell, Pembroke, Plymouth, Scituate, Rockland and Whitman. 

On Sight Repairs was started by Scituate resident Earl Cogswell who learned small engine repair at one of the South Shore’s better-known resources where he was employed for over two decades.

Cogswell learned about the importance of maintaining lawn and garden equipment, but also realized there was no easy and inexpensive way to arrange for that annual maintenance or occasional repair. Thus, he launched On Sight Repairs with a well-stocked van outfitted with portable tools and a variety of commonly needed replacement parts. With less overhead, Cogswell typically charges 20 percent less than conventional repair centers.

On Sight Repairs is now franchising.  Thus, now those want to be the boss and enjoy their independence can have exclusive rights to their territory. To explore this business opportunity, contact On Sigh Repairs.

To obtain more information about On Sight Repairs, visit www.OnSightRepairs.com, email Earl@OnSightRepairs.net or call (781) 264-8448.
