MBTA Highlights $4.8M Investment of Stimulus Funds to Improve Bike Services T Police Launch Bike Theft Awareness Campaign for Month of October
Boston, MA --
Transportation Secretary James A. Aloisi, local officials and bicycle
advocacy groups gathered at Forest Hills Station on the Orange Line today to
unveil a new, state-of-the art bike cage. Aloisi also highlighted a planned
investment of $4.8 million in federal recovery funds to improve and expand
bike services for T customers. Promoting cycling as a healthy and environmentally responsible alternative to driving, Transportation Secretary James A. Aloisi said, “For too long we have underinvested in transit and bicycle facilities. In order to encourage customers to take advantage of a wide range of transportation options we must first provide them with the appropriate facilities and services.” In addition to bike cages at Alewife and Forest Hills Station, funding for additional locations has become available through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. The MBTA will use $4.8 million in federal stimulus funding for a variety of programs to enhance and expand bicycle parking facilities at MBTA stations. This ARRA program will fund the construction of up to 10 additional bike cages and up to 50 covered bike racks at transit stations systemwide. "Offering a bike cage at Forest Hill MBTA Station is a terrific idea," said Boston Mayor Thomas M. Menino. "It will decrease the number of cars being driven into the surrounding residential neighborhood by Downtown Boston commuters, and it offers an alternative to riding the bus for the first part of the morning commute and the last leg of the evening commute. I look forward to seeing more bike cages installed at MBTA facilities around the City." Committed to ensuring that the commuting needs of customers are met, Acting General Manager William A. Mitchell stated, “With the on-going popularity of Alewife’s bike cages and the introduction of one at Forest Hill’s, we are making investments that respond to customers needs in ways that promote a friendlier environment, and healthier lifestyle.” The MBTA is one of the first transit agencies in the U.S. to construct this type of bike cage. The bike cage consists of a chain link fence enclosure with a security gate and a canopy. Features include lighting, security cameras and an emergency call box. The secured bike cage accessible only by riders with a “Bike Charlie Card” provides a higher level of security with the camera surveillance system. “Putting bike cages at T stations is a great way to make using public transportation and being environmentally responsible easier,” said State Representative Liz Malia. “I’m so glad that the Forest Hills station was chosen as the location for Boston’s first bike cage.” In addition to the introduction of the Forest Hills bike cage, MBTA Transit Police Chief Paul MacMillan kicked-off the 2nd Annual Transit Police Bicycle Theft Awareness Campaign. During the month of October transit police officers will be on duty sharing bike theft prevention advice. Officers will also be offering bike owners wallet cards on which they can record their bicycle’s serial number, make, and model. “This campaign is dedicated to re-educating our customers on bike theft prevention,” said Transit Chief Paul MacMillan. “I urge cyclists to take advantage of this important information that ultimately will help to protect their property.” According to the National Bike Registry there are over 1.5 million bicycles stolen each year. Half of all stolen bicycles end up in police property rooms with no way to notify the owners. Less than 2% of all recovered bikes get returned to their owners. Charlie BikeCards are available at Alewife and Forest Hills stations from a Customer Service Agent, at Downtown Crossing’s Customer Service Center. |

Business News PROTONEX AWARDED $2.0 MILLION CONTRACT TO FURTHER DEVELOP SOLID OXIDE FUEL CELL POWER SYSTEMS SOUTHBOROUGH, MA; Protonex Technology Corporation a leading provider of advanced fuel cell power systems today announced that it has received a $2.0 million contract award from the U.S. Army to build, test and deliver solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) power systems. This program will focus on advancing the robustness of Protonex' SOFC power systems operating on high-performance liquid fuels.This 12-month contract builds upon a prior program with the U.S. Army and will focus on system integration and testing in order to develop a fully integrated liquid fuel generator system. At the conclusion of the program, Protonex is expected to deliver multiple liquid-fuelled SOFC power systems to the Army for further testing and evaluation. There is growing military and commercial interest in the use of common liquid fuels, including alternative or renewable fuels to reduce dependence on foreign oil. Solid oxide fuel cells, with their low emissions and high efficiency, are well-suited to generate electricity from these high-energy-density fuel sources. Fuel-flexible generators capable of operating on both traditional and alternative liquid fuels can provide highly efficient electricity generation from both today’s transportation fuels and the biofuels of tomorrow. Development of these small SOFC systems will provide the military with lightweight, extremely quiet and fuel efficient power systems that can be used as auxiliary power units (APUs), portable generators or field battery chargers. With further anticipated improvements, Protonex’ portable SOFC systems could save more than 60% of the weight of existing power solutions and when used to power equipment directly, the fuel cell systems offer potential savings of more than 80% of the weight burden of primary batteries. “We are pleased to have received this significant award from the U.S. Army,” stated Dr. Jerry Martin, Vice President of SOFC Development for Protonex. “This additional program further validates the growing interest by the U.S. military to identify new power solutions for soldiers and vehicles. This program will allow us to accelerate the conversion of our SOFC systems to liquid fuels and further advance our leading-edge SOFC platforms for military and commercial markets.” Double-Take® Software Releases New Version of Double-Take® Flex Version 3.1 Highlights Include Hot Desking & Support for Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7 Key Facts: • Double-Take Flex is an easy-to-use and cost-effective solution that allows multiple desktops or servers to boot from a centralized image repository stored on SAN-based storage or NAS to increase administrator control and security, while reducing the cost of management. • Double-Take Flex allows companies to better manage IT workloads in the face of rising costs associated with of desktop and server provisioning and management. • Double-Take Flex customers include the U.S. Army, U.S. Department of Commerce, Mojave Water District, Palm Beach County Health District and City of Lodi.

September 30, 2009 - (contributed photo) Nicholas D’Errico has been coming to the Southborough Public Library ever since his pre-school years, when his family moved to town. For the past four years, Nick comes to the library ready to work – for free. He is an outstanding volunteer at the library. And this year, he was awarded a prize for excellence in volunteering at the library. The Massachusetts Regional Library System, in partnership with the hockey-playing Boston Bruins has generously given prizes to participating readers and libraries to recognize a teen who has given hours to their library through volunteering! Nick was chosen to win the puck prize – a hockey puck signed by Bruins goaltender Tim “the Tank” Thomas. Nick was nominated by the Southborough Library Staff, because he is a friendly person, who gets along with all staff and with the public. Children’s Librarian, Kim Ivers says, “He’s been asked to do all sorts of things and he’s always happy to help.” Nick has helped at the library – preparing for Harry Potter parties, making a planetarium, and most recently moving several hundred books after the summer flood at the library, as we moved out of and back in to the Children’s Room – and he volunteers with a welcome smile on his face. Nick is a Junior in high school. The staff of the library congratulates Nick and appreciates his volunteer efforts! |

September 30, 2009 - Linda Hubley - At the Southborough Town meeting last night Voters were quick to approve the majority of articles on the town warrant. The Southborough Fire Department will be able to purchase a replacement for ladder 26. To purchase this vehicle money from the town’s stabilization fund, unused money from the 2001 Town meeting for a community facility design and borrowing of $350,000. Other money will come from donations from several non-profit schools such as Fay, St. Mark’s and the New England Center for Children. Selectmen Boland said the cost over the planned fifteen year payout would come to around $30 for the average homeowner. The Police Department also got approval to raise the fine for public possession of marijuana to $400. Acting Police Chief Jane Moran told the audience that of the sixteen people so far stopped for marijuana possession under an ounce ten were under the age of eighteen and the other six were under twenty-five. Chief Moran addressed the crowd by saying she wanted to hit them where it would mean something not just a small fine. Five of the sixteen offenders of the current law have not paid their fines. With this new law the Southborough Police would be able to have criminal complaints issued through the Westborough District Court for failure to pay the fine. The Police Department also proposed a new tightened bylaw to address the numerous solicitors and complaints that follow. Under the new bylaw passed last night, residents will be able to sign onto a do not solicit list that would be passed out to all registered solicitors. They will also be required to register with the Southborough Police, pay a $25 fee, background checks will be done and solicitors will have to wear badges. Town, state, county and federal employees on official business and Non Profit groups, charitable organizations, religious and political solicitation are except from the bylaw. Voters also approved funds for a new police chief vehicle. Other articles passed were hearing of reports, volunteer services for persons over the age of 60 in exchange for a reduced property tax. Article five called for the updating of Zoning fees and penalties for erecting, altering, demolishing, moving or change of use of property. The structure for licensing of dogs was changed by the addition of wording for Kennel with fees attached for numbers of dogs in a household or kennel. It will cost $30 for a kennel of four dogs or less, $60 for a kennel of five to ten dogs and $100 for a kennel of more than ten dogs. The Conservation Commission won approval to have a revolving funds account that will assist with consultant costs, a wetland scientist and part time conservation officer currently on staff. The monies in the account will come from local filing fees. What did not pass though was moving town meeting to Saturday from the annual Monday night annual town meeting start. |

“How to Increase Our Kids’ Athletic Performance While Keeping Them Safe” (Find out more by visiting the New England Dental Group booth during Heritage Days!) by Margarita Panajoti, D.M.D. Did you know that the workings of the mouth—particularly the jaw—has a direct effect on how young athletes perform? People of ancient times realized this instinctively. In ancient Greece, for example, athletes bit down on leather straps…a practice that gave them a competitive advantage. Early Viking and Roman warriors discovered that similar practices resulted in sharper focus. From these primitive efforts, an exciting innovation has evolved. The focus and power of many athletes are inhibited by a reflex reaction: teeth-clenching. Thanks to the innovative work of Under Armour—a world renowned manufacturer of athletic gear—dentists can now harness and enhance young athletes’ performance, while offering much needed protection. Protective, custom-designed solutions offer amazing athletic advantages. UA Performance Mouthwear can deliver benefits that help athletes train harder and perform at higher levels, while offering superior, customized dental protection. Whether your kids participate in full-contact, limited-contact, or non-contact sports, there is a mouthpiece available especially for them. These devices increase strength, increase endurance, increase reaction time, while reducing stress, impact, fatigue, and distraction. Clinical trials, along with independent studies conducted at top universities and research centers have confirmed these advantages. How do they work? These customized mouthpieces help the human body help itself by unleashing the power of the jaw. Using patented “ArmourBite™” technology, the devices prevent teeth from clenching while pivoting the jaw forward, relieving joint pressure. Dentists have long known about the positive potential the human jaw: now we have the technology to put it into productive use. Visit the New England Dental Group booth during Heritage Days to find out more. We all want our kids to excel at their chosen sports. But we also want to keep them safe. Thanks to these exciting, innovative, and custom-designed devices—and the expertise of dentists trained to fit them—we can do both. Dr. Margarita Panajoti is a member of the American Dental Association and the Massachusetts Dental Society. She practices dentistry at New England Dental Group, 661C Boston Post Road, Marlborough, Massachusetts and may be reached by calling 888-495-7733. |
