Dave Austin of Lift & Care Systems honored with Steven A. Hook Memorial Award at the 22nd Annual Rhode Island Independent Living Conference.

DATELINE:  LAKEVILLE, MA…
Dave Austin, Founder and President of Lift & Care Systems, Inc. in Lakeville, MA was recently honored at the 22nd annual Rhode Island Independent Living Conference in Providence, RI, where he received the Steven A. Hook Memorial Award. The award is presented annually to the person whose professional contributions exemplify Steven Hook’s dedication to individuals with disabilities.

The theme of the conference: Live Your Best Life At Home, Work and Play, could well serve as the motto of Lift & Care Systems, where Austin’s goal is to enable the highest quality of life for persons with disabilities, helping them maintain dignity, freedom, and independence wherever possible.

Almost 16 years ago, when Austin set out to explore the market for SureHands ceiling mounted lifts, what he found was an amazing community of persons with mobility problems who had varying levels of needs. Austin quickly learned that compassion, ingenuity, and a flair for innovative construction techniques were necessary to devise customized solutions for his new clients. Over the years, Lift & Care’s product line has expanded, along with Austin’s first-hand knowledge of the needs, wants, and likes of the people he serves, as well as their families and caregivers.

Austin notes, “What has impressed me most about the families and caregivers that we meet is their optimism and determination to help their loved ones or clients. It’s heartwarming and joyous to see the better side of people and to really make a difference in people’s lives, which is why it’s a very special honor to receive this award.”

Independent living with peer support is the goal of the Independent Living Conference: learning how to live life to the fullest possible extent with a disability. The entire community benefits from accessibility and persons with disabilities demonstrate that when given the opportunity they can and do succeed. The conference is sponsored by PARI Independent Living Center, Office of Rehabilitation Services, OSCIL (Ocean State Center for Independent Living), National Multiple Sclerosis Society – Rhode Island Chapter, Rhode Island Rehabilitation Association, Rhode Island Statewide Independent Living Council, The Corliss Institute, Inc. Neighborhood Health Plan of Rhode Island, and the Rhode Island Commission on the Deaf and Hard of Hearing.

SureHands Lift Systems
The SureHands system of ceiling mounted lifts enables thousands of users with disabilities to have easier access to the basics of bed, bath, or toilet. It is also amazingly able to assist persons with disabilities with everyday tasks such as changing clothes, standing and ambulating, or even taking a swim or mounting a horse.

SureHands patient lift systems are so remarkable that they have been featured on two episodes of ABC-TV’s “Extreme Makeover:  Home Edition.” During these episodes a SureHands lift & care system was installed to help make a home ADA compliant and enable the resident to transfer and accomplish his normal activities for daily living. This multi-directional SureHands system was mounted to the ceiling connecting the bedroom to the bath, allowing the resident greater mobility, free of floor based obstacles.

Lift & Care Systems, Inc.
Lift & Care Systems, Inc. is dedicated to bringing the highest quality of life to users and their caregivers by providing customized solutions that enhance users’ mobility. To achieve this goal, Lift & Care Systems offers a myriad of products, including: ceiling mounted motors and track lift systems, wall-to-wall lift systems, wheelchair-to-water pool lifts, and mobile lifts, as well as lift accessories such as body supports, a variety of slings in multiple styles, and a number of assisted body positioning tools such as frictionless slides and slide boards.

In addition, Lift & Care features curved or straight rail Bruno Stair Lifts for indoor or outdoor use, rust proof aluminum National Ramp systems, Power Access door openers, and a wide array of other solutions to meet the needs of their clients and caregivers.

Thanksgiving bounty overflows for plumbers.

DATELINE: SOUTH BOSTON, MA…
The thanksgiving table groans under the load of traditional dishes, and tummies growl and gurgle in anticipation when, suddenly, this Norman Rockwell scene of tranquility erupts into chaos with the realization that the groans, growls, and gurgles are actually coming from the drain of the kitchen sink…

Guess who’s coming to dinner? Your friendly neighborhood plumber! John Wood, founder and CEO of Hub Plumbing & Mechanical in South Boston, MA is well acquainted with this familiar Thanksgiving tableau as he girds himself and his crews for the annual Thanksgiving onslaught.

The long Thanksgiving holiday weekend is the busiest time of the year for a plumber, according to the Plumbing-Heating-Cooling Contractors Association. Why? It’s simple explains Wood, “A 1 ½ inch diameter drain can’t be stuffed with the detritus of a Thanksgiving meal without fighting back and literally erupting and overflowing. A garbage disposal can’t handle the overload either and often grinds to a halt. More than once we’ve literally had to cut out eight or nine foot sections of pipe that are packed to the gills with compacted waste.”

Wood’s colorful descriptions of the sights he has seen should serve as fair warning for Thanksgiving revelers. “Imagine the rich smells and colors of a typical Thanksgiving dinner; then imagine all of those foods mixed together, compacted in your drain, ready to burp back up with the addition of a little water…”

Hub Plumbing and Mechanical’s clog busting team is at the ready 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, but if you’d like to avoid a Thanksgiving visit, Wood offers some common sense tips.

•    Grease congeals and solidifies, the same way fatty deposits block an artery and cause a heart attack. If you want to avoid a drain attack, pour grease into a tin can and toss the can into the trash after the grease hardens.
•    A garbage disposal isn’t a wood chipper. Turkey bones splinter (that’s why you can’t feed them to your dog), while turkey skin and fibrous vegetable skins can wind around the blade, causing the disposal to come to a screeching halt.
•    Always turn on the water before starting the garbage disposal, and keep it running for a minute after turning off the disposal to move the waste through the pipes.
•    Keep utensils away from the sink if at all possible. There is nothing like a piece of silverware accidentally dropped into a garbage disposal to bring an ear-shattering end to your Thanksgiving festivities.
•    If you don’t have a garbage disposal, the remains of a Thanksgiving feast can present even more perils. Leftover trimmings, including gravy, stuffing, mashed potatoes, yams, vegetables, and pie need to be scraped off of plates and deposited into the garbage. Rinsing plates and letting clumps of food slide down the drain is a recipe for disaster as food builds up and compacts, firmly clogging the drain.
•    Also, dishwashers are not garbage disposals. Dishes need to be scraped before they are placed in the dishwasher. Also be careful that the dishwasher isn’t overloaded– glasses break easily and a dishwasher drain clogged with glass is a sure fire way of ensuing that you will be washing dishes by hand all evening!

New Year, New Approach to Dating

BALTIMORE, MD AND NORWELL, MA…

Another holiday spent solo while everyone else seems to have a significant other?  Even though you may not have trouble finding a date, has finding a date that turns into a lasting relationship always eluded you?  If so, you are in the same boat as many singles today.  The real question is…How do you turn things around and build a successful relationship?

If you are among the singles out there that keep ending up with the wrong one, Paul A. Falzone, CEO of The Right One and Together Dating, one of the world’s largest brick-and-mortar dating services with more than 60 offices nationwide, has a few tips to help you out of your dating rut and create a fresh approach to dating in the new year.

“Dating is a lot like when you learned to ride a bike when you were a kid. Sure, you fell off the bike a time or two, but you kept getting back on, never forgetting what made you fall off. Fortunately with dating, you have the benefit of learning from others how not to fall the next time,” said Falzone.

So, how do you begin the new year with a fresh outlook on dating? Here are some tips for finding the right one in the new year:

  • Take a look at your past relationships.  Although you may not have a “type”, did each relationship have something in common?  Do you choose partners based on how they make you feel (important in front of your friends, needed, over-protected, etc.)?
  • Leave enough time between the end of one relationship and the beginning of the next.  When a relationship ends on a bad note, it is normal to seek the attention of another, but be sure your wounds are healed first.
  • Consider a dating hiatus.  What you really might need is “you” time.  Focus on yourself for three to six months before getting back to dating.  Try boosting your self-esteem without a partner.  Find new people to spend time with or new hobbies to enjoy.  This may help you adopt a fresh attitude towards relationships.
  • Give new relationships proper time to develop.  Enjoy each phase as it comes and do not rush it.  Approach each date as a chance to have fun and evaluate the true person.
  • Long-term relationship lagging?  If you are in a long-term relationship that is breaking down due to major life changes or lack of romance, make time to nurture the partnership.  Do not sweep problems under the carpet.  Bring them to the forefront and do not be afraid to confront one another.  Professionals agree that arguing is often the first sign that a bond is improving.  Without this open communication, not only do the issues persist, but feelings eventually go dead and you are left with a lifeless relationship.

To arrange a consultation with a professional matchmaker or for membership, contact The Right One toll-free at 800-818-DATE (3283).

Super Lawyers selections are based on a statewide survey of more than 37,000 attorneys. Candidates are then evaluated based on peer recognition and professional achievement and then grouped and ranked by practice area. Those with the highest point totals are selected. The final Super Lawyers represent the top five percent of the attorneys in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

It’s gratifying when you receive recognition and accolades but at the end of the day it’s still about providing the best service for your clients.”
