Stem’s “Beach Bash” raises $10,000 for military veterans assistance group

Massachusetts cannabis retailer Stem Haverhill took over two popular locations on Salisbury Beach Monday September 17 to host its first-annual Beach Bash, which raised $10,000 for Patriots Helping Vets, a non-profit that provides equipment and services to veterans who benefit from plant medicine.

The event, which drew 300 attendees, was held at the Surfside and the Carousel on Salisbury Beach and featured a DJ and dancing, a boardwalk caricature artist, carousel rides, a glam station, an Italian ice station, and local artists and musicians. 

The Beach Bash was the last in a trio of events held by Stem this year to benefit its non-profit partners.  In August Stem hosted Blast in the Grass, which raised $10,000 for the YWCA Northeastern Massachusetts, and in May Stem hosted Power of Flower, raising $10,000 for the Parabola Center, a non-profit think tank devoted to cannabis policy reform and anti-monopoly regulations.

And next April Stem will host the second Bong and Pong, which will also raise money for local charities.

“Our mission from the beginning has been to provide customers with the best cannabis products on the market while helping worthy charitable organizations bring their vital services to more and more people in the community.  The Beach Bash was a great bash indeed, and I couldn’t be happier with the turnout and the money raised to help an organization that does such important work for our veterans,” Stem owner Caroline Pineau said.

Pineau said the Beach Bash and the two preceding events once again highlighted the cannabis community’s commitment to local and regional assistance and charitable causes.

“This may be a young and evolving industry but it’s certainly proving to be a power when it comes to local philanthropy and charity. That’s a testament not just to the industry, but to the entire cannabis community,” Pineau said.

Since opening in 2020, Stem has raised more than $250,000 for local charities.  Pineau has also made her mark on the Massachusetts cannabis industry by targeting the unfair collection of community impact fees by host communities when those communities have documented no negative impacts from legal cannabis sales.

Smile. Woodside Dental, Assonet, MA, outlines new dental comfort.

What keeps most people from visiting the dentist?

Fear!  Fear of pain, fear of being judged.

Approximately 36% of Americans avoid dental visits due to fear of pain, according to the Cleveland Clinic, a nationally respected source for health information.

Woodside Dental Care, located in Assonet, MA, is focused on removing those fears and providing a better dental experience, focusing on connecting with patients and building meaningful, long-lasting relationships. Patient comfort is the top priority, and the practice is continuously incorporating new technologies and techniques to minimize pain and anxiety.

Dental anxiety and fear often stem from previous painful experiences, fear of needles, or general anxiety about dental procedures.

Woodside Dental Care and modern dentistry have made significant strides in reducing pain and discomfort which can help alleviate some of these fears.

Examples of Innovative Techniques:

Strong Topical Anesthetic are utilized. Before Needle Injection pre-emptive measures aretaken.To minimize the pain and fear associated with needles, Woodside dentists use a strong topical anesthetic before administering any numbing injections. This approach significantly reduces discomfort and helps alleviate anxiety for patients who may be apprehensive about the procedure.

Better Local Anesthetics. Modern local anesthetics are more effective and act faster, providing better pain control during procedures.

Composite Resins.  Newer filling materials bond better to teeth, requiring less removal of healthy tooth structure, which reduces discomfort.

Electric Handpieces. Powerful and quieter, Woodside dentistsuse electric handpieces that are more powerful and quieter than traditional air-driven handpieces. This technology not only improves the efficiency and effectiveness of dental procedures but also reduces the intimidating noise, creating a more calming environment for patients.

Digital Impressions. No More Goopy Impressions.  Woodside dentists have replaced traditional impression methods with digital impressions. This means no more goopy, nasty-tasting, gag-inducing impressions. Digital impressions are quick, accurate, and much more comfortable for patients, enhancing their overall experience.

New Dental Chairs. Woodside Dental isequipped with the latest dental chairs designed for maximum comfort, ensuring that patients can relax during their procedures.

Ceiling-Mounted TVs – To help distract and entertain patients during their visits, Woodside installed TVs on the ceiling. This provides a pleasant diversion and helps make the time spent in the chair feel shorter and more enjoyable.

Warm and Comforting Environment. Woodside is designed to be welcoming and comfortable, with a warm and friendly atmosphere that helps put patients at ease from the moment they walk in.

Woodside Dental Care continuously seeks out and implement new technologies and techniques to ensure that patients receive the highest quality care in the most comfortable setting possible.

About Woodside Dental Care

Woodside Dental Care’s mission is to not only maintain a healthy smile, but to completely change perceptions of dentistry and challenge the idea that going to the dentist is unpleasant.

Woodside offers high quality care, maximum convenience, and the kind of friendly service you’d expect at a small Mom & Pop store. For information, visit the offices at 36 South Main Street, Assonet, MA, via the web at https://www.woodsidedental.com/ or call (508) 452-6302.

Spherehead Pillow collaborates with Smithfield, RI Chiropractor to help patients with sleep challenges

SMITHFIELD AND WARWICK, RI… Spherehead Pillow is collaborating with Dr. Lorri Haber-DiBoni of Haber-DiBoni Chiropractic in Smithfield, RI, to help patients with sleep challenges.

Dr. Haber-DiBoni, a chiropractor for more than 20 years who leads the family-focused practice located at 14 Cedar Swamp Rd. in Smithfield, recommends the Spherehead Pillow to her patients experiencing sleep issues.

“I was having terrible trouble with my pillow and about to invest in a new down pillow when I heard about the Spherehead Pillow,” explained Dr. Haber-DiBoni. “As a Chiropractor, I was curious because the Spherehead Pillow looked different than any other pillow on the market. I liked it from the first night and have been sleeping comfortably on it for a month now. It’s important for people to have a good pillow. I’m very pleased with the Spherehead Pillow and have already recommended it to several patients who were experiencing sleep issues.”

Founder and visionary Alizah Josette, a Warwick, RI resident and paralegal, struggled to find an adequate pillow that would allow unrestricted movement but prevent harmful twists and strains of the head and neck muscles. Through her persistence, dedication and numerous prototypes, she unlocked the secret to a soothing night’s sleep – a pillow that cradles and supports the head and neck, promotes alignment of the spine, and allows flexibility of sleeping positions.

Round and scooped out, the patented Spherehead Pillow offers a unique physical shape and physical benefits. Within a week, most users adapt and blossom. 

Spherehead’s innovative design offers restorative sleep every night by providing gentle support of the head and neck and promoting proper spine alignment. Spherehead’s unique design embraces sleeping habits and benefits the body. The Spherehead memory foam pillow cradles the head and mirrors the natural curve of the cervical spine. Back sleepers enjoy unrestricted movement, while Spherehead prevents damaging twists and turns of the head and neck allowing muscles to relax and unwind.   

According to Alizah Josette, “Spherehead’s memory foam pillows are crafted to collaborate with chiropractic principles, promoting proper alignment of the spine and muscular wellbeing.”

The Spherehead pillow does not interfere with any sleep apparatus, such as an eye mask or a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machine. Side sleepers appreciate the gentle contour of the Spherehead pillow that rests along the curve of the cheek, ensuring the face is unobstructed. The 100 percent Charmeuse pillowcase, which comes with the pillow, is beneficial for all hair types. While the pillowcase is machine washable and durable, the smooth material bolsters healthy hair and helps prevent breakage.  

The Spherehead Pillow is now available onsite at the office of Haber-DiBoni Chiropractic, as well as through affinity partner, Dr. Michael Gottfried at Aquidneck Chiropractic, 1272 West Main Street, Building 2, Middletown, RI.

Additional chiropractic practices, physical therapy offices and sleep study locations will be introducing the Spherehead Pillow to patients. 

Spherehead Pillow is partnering with chiropractors and other healthcare professionals to make the pillow readily available. Those interested in affinity partnership to offer this innovative sleep support directly to patients or clients, are encouraged to visit Spherehead Pillow’s website, https://sphereheadpillow.com

The Spherehead Pillow (retail $59.99) is also available for purchase online at sphereheadpillow.com as well as Amazon.com.
