Texting while driving. Nothing to LOL about. Plymouth Safe Driving Campaign joins crusade against texting.

PLYMOUTH, MA…

The average American sends 357 texts per month. The average American teen sends 1742 per month. While that behavior is harmless under most conditions, behind the wheel of an automobile it can be lethal. And that’s made it an issue that everybody from state legislatures to Oprah Winfrey are talking about—it’s also become the focal point of the Plymouth Safe Driving campaign.

Sponsored by King Collision Centers, Commerce Insurance, the Plymouth Public Schools department and Plymouth Police Department, the Plymouth Safe Driving campaign is a multi-pronged effort to promoting safe driving habits for Plymouth North and Plymouth South high schools. Part of that campaign includes a student-parent contract in which young drivers sign an actual contract with their parents agreeing to safe driving practices.

“Our student-parent contract includes a ‘Driving Privileges’ section where parents can prohibit certain things like texting and cell phone use, at least while driving,” said Bruce King, owner of King Collision Centers. “It may seem like a common sense thing—don’t text while you drive—but the numbers bear out that many drivers are texting and driving and the accident statistics related to that are just as staggering.”

According to the U.S. Department of Transportation, more than half a million people were injured and 6,000 killed last year in motor-vehicle accidents involving a driver who was distracted while using a cell phone or texting device. More specific to young drivers, the legal site www.WhoCanISue.com reveals that:

·         46% of teens admitted to text messaging while driving in 2008; up from 13% in 2006

·         32% of young adults admit to sending text messages while driving

·         43 % of young adults read text messages while driving.

Equally disturbing, the U.S. National Safety Council estimates that 100 people die every day in traffic accidents and that 25 percent of those are caused by the use of cell phone and texting devices.

“While we created this campaign to promote safe driving among high school students, it’s quite clear that drivers young and old need to stop texting while driving,” said King. “Hopefully, with pending legislation in many states and grassroots awareness campaigns like Oprah’s, ours and others, we can get the word out that texting and driving—whether you’re sending or receiving—never mix.”

  South Shore Skin Center, one of the most progressive dermatology practices in Massachusetts with offices in Cohasset and Plymouth, has recently moved their Plymouth practice from 45 Resnik Road to the newly constructed 20,000 square-foot medical building on 1.38 acres at One Scobee Circle.

 

 

South Shore Skin Center now occupies the entire 6,600 square-foot third floor of the new three-story building at Scobee Circle that is situated on the corner of Resnik Road. RHCI-Plymouth Outpatient Rehabilitation Center (the Rehabilitation Hospital of the Cape and Islands) resides on the first floor and E. Morgan Scheiber. DMD PC and Associates occupies a 3,200 square-foot medical condo on the building’s second floor.

South Shore Skin Center had outgrown their eight room, 2,600 square-foot Resnik Road location, which influenced their decision to purchase the space at One Scobee Circle and increase their practice’s footprint to almost three times the size of their previous office. The practice now features a large reception area, 12 surgical/medical exam rooms, a clinical and outpatient area as well as business and practitioner offices. The new space has also enabled South Shore Skin Center to launch their full cosmetic spa, which boasts four plush treatment rooms expressly for facials, anti-aging treatments, laser treatments, Thermage and cosmetic procedures.

Caring for thousands of patients south of Boston, South Shore Skin Center was founded by Dr. Richard Eisen in 1988 and has grown significantly over the years. The practice has a staff of 25 with three other physicians: Dr. Ramzi Saad, Dr. Katherine Ayers and Dr. William Stocker, as well as three physician assistants, three cosmetic nurse specialists, three estheticians and 12 other staff members.

“We’re very excited about our new office because it will enable us to really expand upon the services that we already offer and better serve a greater number of patients in Southeastern Massachusetts and the Cape area. We will add another physician over the next month as our practice continues to grow,” noted Dr. Eisen.

The building’s developer was Alpines, LLC of Plymouth and construction was done by Coastal Restorations, also of Plymouth. The modern, energy efficient building features radiant heat and solar panels provided by Alternate Energy of Plymouth. South Shore Skin Center’s reception area features an energy monitor which shows how much energy the solar panels produce every day.

Conveniently located off Route 44, One Scobee Circle offers free parking for 106. To learn more about South Shore Skin Center, visit www.southshoreskincenter.com.

Positioning Your Franchise For Growth in the Coming Decade presented by the NEFA

New faces are being drawn to franchising, but how do make sure these escapees from corporate America, recent college grads, women who are circumventing the glass ceiling, and recent American citizens choose your franchise opportunity?  How do you get above the “noise” in the marketplace?

Lynette McKee, CFE, a recognized franchise industry expert, will outline “Positioning Your Franchise For Growth in the Coming Decade”, a program presented by the New England Franchise Association (NEFA) on Tuesday, March 9 at the Doubletree Hotel, 550 Winter Street, Waltham, MA.

The evening includes a cocktail and networking session beginning at 5:30 p.m., dinner at 7:00 PM, and then the presentation. The entire business community is urged to attend. Membership in the NEFA is NOT required. Reservations are required.  Registration Fee is $60 per person and includes dinner.  NEFA Members receive $10.00 off.

The negative noise includes a deep recession, lack of financing, negative growth, higher taxes, risky times, inflation, foreclosures, high unemployment, stagnation, bankruptcies, underemployed, and more.  These elements make it hard to sign new franchisees.

On the other hand, these noise factors could be considered great opportunities for “frantrepreneurs”.  There is an abundance of real estate, human resources, competitive build outs, tax incentives and reduced competition.

McKee will be talking about ways to “get above” the noise and position your franchise for growth by taking advantage of the great opportunities available in this economy.

McKee was featured in an article in Franchise Times listing the “Top 25 Franchise Executives in the US,” As well as named in the “TOP 20 to Watch” in the 2005 January issue of the Franchise Times.  She holds the Certified Franchise Executive (CFE) designation from the International Franchise Association and been a CFE instructor.  Her franchise career has spanned the last 20 years in the hospitality industry.

McKee, has recently joined Checkers Drive-In Restaurants, Inc. as Chief Development Officer, located in Tampa, FL.  She has also served in executive positions at Dunkin’ Brands, Burger King and Metromedia Restaurant Group, parent company for Bennigan’s Grill and Tavern, Steak and Ale, Ponderosa and Bonanza Steakhouse restaurant chains in Dallas, TX.

About NEFA

New England Franchise Association (NEFA) is the trade organization for franchisors and franchisees in the region, with over 150 members. The mission of NEFA is to bring franchise executives, franchisees and vendors together to share ideas for success.

Franchising more than ever before, has an unprecedented opportunity to make a major positive impact on the future New England economy. In a 2001-05 study conducted by PriceWaterhouseCoppers on behalf of the International Franchise Association (IFA) found that in New England over 875,000 jobs are a result of franchising, the total output is over 100 Billion dollars a year, and there are over 35,000 franchise establishments in the six New England States.

To reserve your seats, please contact New England Franchise Association via the organization’s website www.NEFranchise.org, email: info@NEFranchise.org, or by calling Jim Coen, (617) 469-3002.

Advanced Mortgage Services outlines options for tapping into home equity for cash strapped senior homeowners.

DATELINE: NORWELL and PLYMOUTH, MA…

With investments down and a continuing consumer credit crunch, more and more seniors are taking a second look at reverse mortgages as an attractive way to tap into the equity in their home. Even though home values have fallen, many senior homeowners retain a sizeable amount of equity in their homes.

“Tapping into a home’s equity is a very viable option for senior homeowners who are cash poor and house rich,” explains Brian Comer, President of Norwell and Plymouth based Advanced Mortgage Services. “Reverse mortgages continue to offer seniors the ability to be able to stay in their homes and maintain their quality of life as they age without having to worry about the limitations of a restricted income.”

A reverse mortgage is essentially the opposite of a traditional mortgage. Unlike traditional mortgages where borrowers make monthly payments, in a reverse mortgage the cash flow is reversed, and the lender makes payments to the borrower, enabling borrowers to use the tax free cash they receive in any way that they wish. Seniors commonly use the money to supplement their retirement income, pay for medical expenses, pay off an existing mortgage or debt, fund home repairs, or for travel or vacations. Payment may be received in a lump sum, as a line of credit, or in monthly installments.

To qualify senior homeowners must have positive equity in their homes and all homeowners listed on the title must be at least 62 years of age. There are no minimum income, asset, or credit qualifications to meet and no effect on Social Security or Medicare benefits sine the IRS currently treats mortgage proceeds as a loan advance rather than taxable income. The property must be the primary residence of the borrower and properly insured and maintained, with real estate taxes kept current. As long as the borrower continues to live in the property the loan can never be called.

Unlike a traditional mortgage where the balance starts high and the borrower’s monthly payments reduce the loan balance, the balance of a reverse mortgage loan starts low and continues to increase as more cash is drawn and the deferred interest charges are added to the balance. Repayment is required if the home is sold, or when the last borrower permanently leaves the property, or passes away. At that time, the heirs can sell or refinance the property to pay off the loan.

The only reverse mortgage insured by the U.S. Federal Government is called a Home Equity Conversion Mortgage or HECM, and is only available through an FHA approved lender. According to the National Reverse Mortgage Lender’s Association, HECMs, which are insured by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA), a branch of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), account for nearly all reverse mortgages made today in the U.S.

The number of HECM loans made during the current recession have remained steady despite decreasing home values. HUD data, which is reported by federal fiscal year (each federal fiscal year begins October 1 and runs through September 30 of the following year) shows that 114,692 HECM loans were made during FY 2009, and 112,154 HECM loans during FY 2008.

Winters Company Plumbing & Heating Helps Greater Boston’s Homeowners “Go Green”

Winters Company Plumbing & Heating, providers of plumbing and home services to thousands of residents throughout greater Boston, has recently announced their new “green initiative” for homeowners.

 

Winters Company is offering a Home Systems Analysis to homeowners seeking to upgrade their older systems to “greener”, more cost-effective, energy efficient systems.

“There are a number of upgrades that homeowners can make that will save them a lot of money over time and which are better for their home and the environment. As part of the 2009 Federal Stimulus Package, tax credits for certain energy improvements are available until the end of 2010,” noted Tim Flynn, the company’s president.

Winters Company offers these “green” upgrades that are eligible for a tax credit:

 

  • Tankless Water Heater upgrade provides the homeowner with a constant supply of hot water while saving the homeowner money. Tankless water heaters heat water directly so there is no need for a storage tank. They also free up space in your home and are safer than conventional water heaters.

  • Oil to Natural Gas Heating System Conversion means better efficiency, less maintenance and quieter and cleaner burning fuel than oil. Homeowners who already have gas heating should consider replacement to gain better efficiency if the system is more than 15 years old.


  • Air-Conditioning Upgrade to an award winning Westinghouse Cooling System which is the most efficient on the market and provides total home comfort and reduced utility bills.

 

These upgrades qualify for the Energy Star tax credit, which is a federal tax credit of 30 percent of the total cost (up to $1,500). The tax credit is available until December 31, 2010.

To make it even easier for homeowners, Winters Company has made the appropriate tax forms available on their website for easy download at www.wintersplumbing.com.
