Attorney General Martha Coakley Encourages Consumers to Redeem Ski Market Gift Cards by January 24 BOSTON – Ski Market Ltd., (Ski Market) will honor 50 percent of the face value of any unused gift cards under an agreement negotiated by Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley’s Office, and the Offices of Attorney Generals for Connecticut and Rhode Island. The company initially refused to redeem any gift cards after filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on December 29, 2009. Under the agreement, which must still be approved by the bankruptcy court, consumers holding Ski Market gift cards can use them for up to 50 percent of the card’s face value at any Ski Market store, for the period from Saturday, January 16, 2010, through Sunday, January 24, 2010. The Attorney General’s Office cautions consumers that they must use the gift cards during a single visit and that because the store has filed for bankruptcy, merchandise cannot be returned. Ski Market’s Massachusetts stores are located in Boston, Wellesley, Woburn, Framingham, and Pembroke. The Attorney General’s Office advises consumers that used a credit card to purchase gift cards to contact their credit card company to inquire whether any unredeemed portion may be credited to the credit card. If it cannot, consumers may file a Proof of Claim in the bankruptcy court for the unredeemed sum. The validity of a claim and the amount of any dividend will be determined by the Bankruptcy Court. Consumers who have questions about this agreement or who need assistance with the Proof of Claim Process should contact the Attorney General’s Consumer Hotline at 617-727-8400. |

Quarterly print publication targeting MetroWest businesses set for springtime debut January 18, 2009: The publishers of the Worcester Business Journal are excited to announce
the launch of the quarterly
print publication of MetroWest495 Biz to serve the vibrant business
community in the growing I-495 corridor. The publication will hit
newsstands and mail rooms in March. It will capitalize on the readership
developing around the MetroWest495 Biz email newsletter, which debuted in
2009, and is currently delivered to the inboxes of several thousand regional
executives on Tuesday and Thursday mornings.
“We really see this as a natural next step for our brand,” said Peter Stanton, publisher of MetroWest495 Biz and the Worcester Business Journal. “At the WBJ, we already cover the MetroWest area, but the importance of the region really demands its own publication. In combination with our existing e-mail, our new print publication will further connect businesspeople to local market intelligence they can put to use.” The quarterly publication will include stories about the people and companies that make the MetroWest/495 region hum. It will also include regular features such as a guide to the top networking events, key demographics on the communities within the region and an analysis of regional and statewide news. “We’ve designed MetroWest495 Biz as a colorful and dynamic magazine-style publication. We’ll deliver fun, informative, engaging features, and colorful, high-quality photographs and artwork with each and every issue,” said Matthew L. Brown, project editor for the quarterly publication. “The first Page 2 issue will feature ‘10 To Watch,’ which will profile ten of the movers and shakers making an impact on the MetroWest/495 scene.” The publication will be direct mailed to company presidents, CEOs and senior managers at firms located within our coverage area, which extends from Shrewsbury in the west to Natick in the east, Wrentham in the south and Westford/Chelmsford in the north. If you have story ideas, please contact mbrown@wbjournal.com at 508-755-8004, ext. 229. For advertising opportunities, please contact bleroux@wbjournal.com at 508-755-8004, ext. 228. To get on the mailing list for both our e-mail newsletter and the quarterly print edition, visit WBJournal.com/MetroWest495Biz. Also, MetroWest495 Biz has a fan page on Facebook. Check it out here. |

MEMA POSTS ROOF COLLAPSE & STORM DRAIN WARNING INFORMATIONSnow Buildup & Subsequent Heavy Rain Can Present DangersFRAMINGHAM, MA – “If not cleared off, dry, fluffy snow piled on roofs can act as a sponge, absorbing any additional sleet and rain, adding weight and stress to structures.” states Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency (MEMA) Director Don Boyce. “Flat, commercial roofs are most susceptible if they are not draining properly. Additionally, MEMA encourages citizens to clear storm drains in their neighborhoods to minimize local flooding problems from this run-off.”
In many cases, roof ice dams can form causing water build-up, leading to interior damage. To minimize the risk of over-stressing a building roof due to accumulated or drifting snow:
· Be on the alert for large accumulating snow build-up or snowdrifts on your roofs.
· If roof snow can be removed, from the ground, with the use of a snow rake (available at most hardware stores), do so. Use caution, as metal snow rakes conduct electricity if they come into contact with a power line.
· Try to avoid working from ladders, as ladder rungs tend to ice up. Snow and ice collect on boot soles, and metal ladders.
· Flat roofs can be shoveled clear, but only if it is determined that the roof is safe to stand upon. Exercise care when on the roof to avoid potentially dangerous falls.
· Flat roof drainage systems should be kept clear to minimize the risk of excess roof ponding in the event of subsequent heavy rainfall or melting.
· Large icicles can form on roof overhangs, but do not necessarily mean ice damming is occurring. Icicles overhanging doorways and walkways can be dangerous and should be carefully removed.
· All of the mentioned actions should only be performed by able-bodied adults, as the snow is heavy, and roofs and other surfaces may be slippery. Protective headgear and eye protection is recommended.
This roof collapse alert is issued by the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency (MEMA), in conjunction with the State Board of Building Regulations and Standards.
The Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency (MEMA) is the state agency responsible for coordinating federal, state, local, voluntary and private resources during emergencies and disasters in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. MEMA provides leadership to: develop plans for effective response to all hazards, disasters or threats; train emergency personnel to protect the public; provide information to the citizenry; and assist individuals, families, businesses and communities to mitigate against, prepare for, and respond to and recover from emergencies, both natural and man made. For additional information about MEMA and Winter Preparedness, go to the MEMA website at www.mass.gov/mema. |

toughest physical challenge to be climbing 8,000-meter peaks - in the
notorious ?death zone? - without the aid of bottled oxygen. Yet it?s a
challenge willingly undertaken by a small fraternity of ski mountaineers who
tackle the highest peaks in this pure Alpine style. They then lock into
their skis and descend the most dangerous slopes on Earth, navigating hidden
crevasses, sheer 10,000-foot drops, and perilous weather. In this freshly
edited, fast-paced profile of this elite group, filmmaker Mike Marolt, his
brothers Steve and Roger, and their intrepid friends passionately push the
limits of skiing to its highest frontier. Fourth generation Aspenites whose
father was on the 1960 Olympic ski team, the Marolts take us for thrilling
rides on various peaks in south America, as well as Himalayan giants,
Shishapangma, Cho Oyu, and Everest. (USA, 2009, 82 minutes) Location:Kendall Square Cinema - Cambridge Contact:Kendall Square Cinema - 617-621-1202 Cost:$8 Registration Required? No. |

Marlborough
Hospital Announces the 
“Let’s
rock the house, with everyone in white or grey t-shirts,” exclaims Frank
Ferreer, the head coach of the Assabet Valley Regional Technical High School
Lady Aztecs basketball team. On January 22nd, anyone wearing a white or grey
t-shirt will be given free admission to watch the girls take on Worcester
Tech. The game is at 6:30 PM in the Assabet gymnasium at 215 Fitchburg
Street in Marlborough. Ferreer is optimistic about his team this year,
coming off of a 21-3 season in 2009, and making it to the second round of
District play-offs. “We have solid returning talent, particularly in Chelsea
Joubert, her sister Vanessa Joubert (both girls are from Westborough),
Nicole Soto from Marlborough, and Ashley Salem from Clinton, and we also
have some very athletic freshmen on the team, so we’re anticipating a strong
showing,” says Ferreer. He would like to see a sea of white and grey shirts
in the stands as support for the team. “We are planning another such event
in February if this goes well. We’ll even be selling t-shirts! I’d like to
see a lot of the local 8th grade students who are planning to apply to
Assabet come out and feel the spirit, too,” adds Ferreer.”It’s a good way to
be introduced to our athletic programs.”
