Unleash the Power of The Press

Newsroom

Plymouth Solar Energy powers up new service. Batteries are here. You’ll never have a Power Outage again.

Homeowners now can install high-tech lithium storage batteries to power their home when the utility goes down.  Plymouth Solar Energy has expanded its resources and is now endorsed by the four leading battery manufacturers including Tesla, Briggs, and Stratton, Generac/PRW Cell and Sonnen.  The company has earned certificates for their most advanced systems.

Some battery owners report that they did not even know that the utility went down because the battery switched on seamlessly. In addition to the comfort and convenience, batteries are recognized for taxed credits.  Homeowners enjoy 30% tax credits for batteries and 30% tax credit for solar.

Owners may select time of day or periods of peak household usage and have storage contribute to the home at that time.  Those with solar can store energy during the day and power their home at night.  With or without solar, owners earn money if they allow the utility to tap their batteries when the grid is stressed.

Plymouth Solar Energy (PlymouthSolarEnergy.com ) is a regional leader in the installation and maintenance of commercial and residential solar and battery systems. The company boasts over 200 installed and on-line monitored solar systems within 50 miles of Plymouth.

Plymouth Solar Energy is located at 18 Main Street Extension, Plymouth, MA. There are now 10 full and part-time staffers at the growing entity.

Scituate resident and former Firefighter recognized for Random Act of Kindness and Sunny Disposition.

DATELINE: PLYMOUTH, MA…

Brian Poitras, a Scituate resident and a recent retiree of the Lowell Fire Department, once again did not hesitate when help was needed. 

While visiting the Scituate Senior Center, Brian was chatting with acquaintance Anne Tucker Roberts. 

Anne mentioned that she was concerned that during a hot and humid spell in July her air conditioner was not functioning.  Service companies were not responding to her telephone calls or were scheduling her out for several weeks. Anne and her 85-year-old husband, John, were not only uncomfortable, but at risk.

Out of the kindness of his heart, Brian ventured into his own basement, brought up a spare portable unit and installed it in the Roberts’ home.

“It is a story of what this country has lost. He has renewed my faith that people really DO care about others!” noted Anne.

Thus, Brian Poitras is the first to be recognized by the Sunny Disposition campaign sponsored by Plymouth Solar Energy.  In addition to recognition, Brian will receive a $50 gift certificate to Strega Café, one of Plymouth’s finer restaurants.

Know someone who has recently performed a random or intended act of kindness?

Could be something as simple as taking out the trash for an elderly neighbor.  Or helping with heavy lifting of a new couch.  Or sharing an extra plate of homemade brownies.

Plymouth Solar Energy is recognizing Sunny Disposition winners monthly.  The winner will receive dinner for two at one of Greater Plymouth’s leading restaurants and a spiffy pair of sunglasses.

Mining the Golden Age of Podcasting. PR Works, based in Plymouth, Massachusetts announces podcasting services.

Experts and listeners agree, we are in the Golden Age of Podcasting. More than half of American homes tune into a podcast regularly. Why not YOURS?

Given this high audible trend, PR Works, based in America’s hometown of Plymouth, Massachusetts, has launched a podcast service. The service ranges from establishing a Podcast strategy to recording and editing the show to promoting it. 

“Podcasting allows you to control the message, control the medium and tap into new clients, strategic partners and referral sources,” notes PR Works Founder Steven V. Dubin, a Plymouth, Massachusetts resident.

He added, “Podcasting is another story-telling channel and the one-to-one audience it creates is powerful. Where most get stalled is in having a clear niche topic and managing all the details of technology, arranging guests, editing the raw footage, uploading each segment to YouTube and the many podcast portals and then promoting the podcast to expand the audience. We help boil that down and get it done.”

Here are some of the considerations to podcasting.

First, the “Why”? 

Are you doing this to position yourself as “the” expert? Book prospects as guests and build those relationships? Generate solid content for social media? Enhance SEO? Provide useful information to your core audience?

Your answer to ALL of the above should YES!

Second, the theme?

What is your unique programming theme? Do you expand upon family business, start-up business, mid-market business? Are you focusing on a niche? Young families? Senior living? Middle-age madness? Choose a theme and build upon it.

Third, the Title?

The title of your podcast should give a hint about the content and entice us in. No surprise about what “Planet Money” is about. “Football Weekly” tells it all. You could get clever, but you don’t want to be obscure and leave us guessing.

Fourth, Scheduling?

Most new podcasters can’t keep up a pace of more than once a month. That being said, it is worthwhile to record the first three segments all at once. In our binge watching/listening world, give your audience a good dose of what you do. 

It is best to develop a schedule and editorial outline of segments for each business quarter.

Fifth, Guests?

Let’s face it, unless you are stand-up comedian or experienced performer, you probably can enhance broadcasts with a guest or two. Guests add insight, variety and color. 

The challenge is to book them, prepare them, obtain background materials, etc. That is a critical part of the process.

Six, the Technology?

How will you record? How will you upload to key podcast portals (Spotify, Itunes, etc.).How will you promote each episode? PR Works has reviewed a wide range of platforms and came up with an inexpensive and thorough solution that includes developing a vlodcast (video of the podcast) and the audio podcast at the same time.  Thus, you are bolstering a YouTube channel and reaching out via key podcast portals.

Seventh, the Promotion?

Now you’ve gone to all the trouble of creating a podcast, how do you get it out there?

Social media posts, e-newsletter, news release and blog posts help move it along.  These messages should ALSO be prepared and customized for your guests to share with their audiences.

Ready to go “live”?  5-4-3-2-1.  For additional information about podcasting, contact PR Works at www.PRWorkZone.com, (781) 582-1061, 18 Main Street Extension, Suite 409, Plymouth, MA.

Don’t do Divorce alone. Divorce workshop offers support and practical direction.


It’s impossible to understand how painful divorce is, if you haven’t been through it.

The newly formed Divorce Support Group provides a safe, welcoming place to work through your feelings with other people facing similar challenges. Together, we explore denial, fear, loneliness, friendships, guilt/rejection, grief, anger, and whatever else arises. We will also discuss practical ways to take care of yourself. 

The workshop is scheduled for eight Thursdays,  6pm – 7:30 p.m. March 7 and includes March 7, March 14, March 21, March 28, April 4, April 18, May 2 and May 9 at the Maverick Wellness, 67 Coddington Street, #209, Quincy MA 02169.  Cost is $240 for the 8-week session.  Group support works best when members can commit to attending all the sessions.  Participants are encouraged to sign up only if  they believe they will be able to attend all the sessions.

This small support group (limit is 6-8 members) will provide a safe, accepting space to discuss the emotional challenges of your divorce, talk with people who “get it,” and learn from each other.

Specifically, the workshop explores practical ways to take care of yourself, cope with stress, how to talk with your children, meeting with your lawyer, ways to co-parent with your ex, feelings around the family home, personal belongings and more.  

The workshop was developed and will be led by Frances T. Spillane, a divorced mother of two children and recently remarried.  She is an LMHC and Life Coach who supports clients in creating meaningful, fulfilling lives.

“When I look back at my divorce, I often wonder ‘What was wrong with me?’”  She added, “Why did I try to do it all alone?  Why didn’t I ask for more help? Why didn’t I do more to help myself?  Why didn’t I find more support?  What was I thinking? Having survived that gauntlet, I developed this workshop.”

Fran is on her third career.  Prior to becoming a therapist, she was a tax accountant, then a stay-at-home mom. Her own journeys through transition give her a deep sense of empathy and compassion, as well as the knowledge that change provides the opportunity to create a more joyful life. Her authentic and unconditional positive regard for clients supports their honest exploration of their most important issues.

Fran practices in Attleboro and Quincy, MA.  She earned her M.A. at Bridgewater State University, and her B.A. at University of Notre Dame.

Between Rounds supports Connecticut Foodshare in two campaigns to fight hunger

MANCHESTER, EAST WINDSOR, SOUTH WINDSOR, TOLLAND, AND VERNON, CT… 

The food-insecure population in Connecticut has increased by 40 percent since 2020.

In response, Between Rounds Bakery Sandwich Café, the unique bagel shop with five locations in Connecticut, has teamed up with Connecticut Foodshare to help people facing food insecurity.

Between Rounds presents Connecticut Foodshare with the proceeds from one of their two campaigns to fight hunger in the community. Shown left to right: Reese Hopkins, Chris Puiia, Jerry Puiia, Joe Puiia, Meghan Dubois, Brendan Puiia, and Laurie Puiia.

In an effort to help their neighbors, Between Rounds recently donated proceeds totaling $1,600 from two campaigns – a special breakfast sandwich campaign and a live radio broadcast event encouraging the purchase of bagel certificates – to Connecticut Foodshare. 

In the fall of 2025, Between Rounds created a new breakfast sandwich known as “The B.E.C.C.A.”, made with bacon, egg, cheese, Hellmann’s Ancho Chipotle sauce, and avocado on a bagel or croissant, with 50 cents from every BECCA sandwich sold donated to Connecticut Foodshare to help provide food for individuals and families facing food insecurity.

Between Rounds also held a one-day event with Reese On The Radio from WTIC 1080 AM, broadcasting the live show from their Vernon location on January 16th. Throughout the show, guests were encouraged to stop by to meet Reese and purchase half-priced bagel certificates, with all proceeds being donated directly to Connecticut Foodshare.

Expanding & Continuing the Campaign

“We’re committed to supporting our neighbors in need and will continue to support Connecticut Foodshare to help fight hunger in our community,” said Jerry Puiia, co-founder of Between Rounds. “Our BECCA breakfast sandwich has become so popular that we’re going to continue to donate 50 cents from every BECCA sandwich sold, and we’re expanding this promotion to our Garlic Bagel Chips.”

Now, 50 cents from every package of Between Rounds Garlic Bagel Chips will also be donated to Connecticut Foodshare.

Both the Garlic Bagel Chips and the BECCA breakfast sandwich are available at all Between Rounds locations: East Windsor; South Windsor; Vernon; Manchester and Tolland, CT.  To view locations, visit betweenroundsbagels.com.

Between Rounds expands bagel line with Featured flavors throughout the year

MANCHESTER, EAST WINDSOR, SOUTH WINDSOR, TOLLAND, AND VERNON, CT… 

Between Rounds Bakery Sandwich Café, the unique bakery café and bagel shop with five locations in Connecticut, has expanded its signature bagel line with featured flavors.

Between Rounds’ featured bagels are offered for a limited time and may include unique flavors as well as seasonal bagels. Throughout 2026, the bagel franchise is set to roll out five featured bagels, which will be offered for a limited time:

Cranberry Orange, a sweet and tart citrus bagel featured in January, February, and March. 

In March, Between Rounds is also featuring green (colored) signature bagels in celebration of St. Patrick’s Day. 

A Chonion bagel combines their two most popular savory bagels, cheddar cheese and onion, and will be featured in April, May, June and July. The Chonion bagel has a bold flavor profile that is perfect topped with plain or flavored cream cheese and even better when served in place of bread in a favorite breakfast or lunch sandwich. 

Just in time for “Pumpkin Spice season”, Pumpkin bagels will feature in August, September, and October.

In November and December, Between Rounds will feature French Toast bagels, which are made with a maple and cinnamon swirl, similar to the taste of French toast topped with maple syrup.

“We enjoy creating new and exciting bagel flavors for our customers,” said Jerry Puiia, co-founder of Between Rounds. “Essentially, our featured flavors enable us to offer new flavors on a limited basis to see how well they are received. For example, our Jalapeño Cheddar bagel started out as a featured flavor, but was very well-received and in high demand, so we made it one of our staple flavors offered daily.”

Bagel Varieties

Between Rounds signature bagel line includes more than a dozen different kinds of bagels each day, which include: Jalapeño Cheddar, Everything, Asiago, Cheddar, Whole Wheat, Blueberry, Spinach, Cornmeal, Pumpernickel, Garlic, Egg, Onion, Poppy, Sesame, Cinnamon Raisin, and Plain. 

Puiia continued, “Our signature bagels are made from the same family recipe for more than 35 years now. Our bagels are delicious as is or toasted and topped with cream cheese or a preferred topping. Customers looking for ways to enhance their breakfast or lunch sandwich ‘flavor profile’ may simply replace sandwich bread or roll with their favorite Between Rounds bagel.”

Wholesale Bagels

Between Rounds signature bagels are also offered at wholesale partner retailers. The bagels are sold in four-packs of their most popular flavors: Plain, Sesame, Poppy, Everything, Asiago, Jalapeño Cheddar, and Cheddar bagels. (Feature flavors are not part of wholesale offerings.)
