MEMA ISSUES HURRICANE
SAFETY TIPS FOR BUSINESS OWNERS
FRAMINGHAM, MA – “Our
business community should be aware of the potential of hurricane
damage here in the Commonwealth,” said Massachusetts Emergency
Management Agency Director Kurt Schwartz. “Every business owner
should prepare or review their own Preparedness and Recovery Plan.
‘Business as usual’ will not happen without good planning.”
·
Review your property insurance
with your insurance agent. Take photographs or make a video of your
business establishment, both inside and outside.
·
Determine and establish a written
Hurricane Preparedness Plan for your business and its contents.
Coordinate this plan with local and state officials. Specify the
conditions under which the plan will be implemented.
·
Test your plan, reviewing it
annually. Establish an employee-training program on your Hurricane
Plan.
·
Make plans for protection of your
computer files, including an off-site back-up system to secure and
safely store data.
·
Protect corporate records, keeping
duplicates at an alternate location.
·
Well in advance, acquire emergency
protective equipment and supplies. Heavy plastic sheeting, duct
tape, sandbags, emergency generator, chain saw and large pieces of
plywood will help protect your property.
·
As storms approach, remember to
bring in display racks and other objects, such as trashcans that
might cause damage if airborne. Remove outdoor signs, especially
those that swing or are portable.
·
Move merchandise, equipment or
furniture away from windows or skylights. Elevate boxes or
equipment, if possible.
·
Turn off electricity and
disconnect all electrical appliances and equipment (except for
refrigeration equipment), in case there is a power outage. An
ensuing power surge, once power is restored, could be damaging to
connected equipment.
·
Inform all employees on when and
how you will notify them to report back to work.
Develop an employee identification
system, such as picture ID badges. This may help employees gain
access to the area after a hurricane.
·
If possible, make arrangements to
pay employees in cash. It may be several days before banking
institutions are operational.
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
Hurricane Preparedness, go to

August 19, 2011 - A Reminder. |
Have a Birthday
coming up? Better check your drivers license. Did you know that in
order to save money the Registry of Motor Vehicles no longer mails
renewal reminders for licenses. But you can sign up on line to get
a notice.
RMV Reminder Service - Powered by Sendza
|
|
Welcome to the Registry of Motor Vehicles newest
customer convenience — safe electronic notification
services that will help you remember to renew your MA
driver’s license or MA ID.
With this free service you determine how the RMV reminds
you by email, phone or text (SMS) message. The RMV has
partnered with Sendza, an outside firm that will deliver
your automatic reminder * at no cost to you or the
Commonwealth.
To get started, you will need your Massachusetts license
or MA ID number, date of birth, and your residential zip
code so we can verify your information is in our
database. The RMV will then
transition you to the Sendza website where you will
complete the process to subscribe to the reminder
service. Sendza will ask you to select how you want
to be notified—by email, phone or text message. You must
then provide the appropriate email address or phone
number. Sendza receives coded information that enables
them to deliver your reminder, but never sees your
personal information and cannot display or share it.
You can unsubscribe from the service, change your
contact information or method of delivery at any time
simply by following the prompts once you have entered
the subscription page.
Please be sure to join the RMV Reminder Service at least
45 days before the expiration date on your license or
ID. For each renewal period, you will receive only one
reminder notice approximately 30 days prior to the
pending expiration date.
Once again, no personal information is ever displayed.

HOUSE
MINORITY LEADER JONES CONGRATULATES
REPRESENTATIVE LEVY ON PERFECT VOTING RECORD
Levy Casts 104 Consecutive Roll Call
Votes This Year
BOSTON—House
Minority Leader Bradley H. Jones, Jr. congratulated State
Representative Steven Levy (R-Marlborough)
today for achieving an impressive voting record so far this
legislative session.
The Marlborough Republican
participated in 104 consecutive roll call votes in the House this
year, a 100% voting record, casting votes in favor of a number of
reforms relative to reversions for local aid and court reform.
Representative Levy also cast numerous votes challenging the
Democratic-led House on a number of issues, including a
comprehensive Ethics Reform package, an income tax rollback, a
permanent sales tax holiday and a gradual rollback of the state
sales tax.
“Steven is an incredibly
committed member of the Massachusetts House of Representatives, and
an extremely valuable asset to the House Republican Caucus,” said
Representative Jones. “The people of the 4th Middlesex
District are fortunate to have Representative Levy up here on Beacon
Hill fighting for them day in and day out.”
“As a State Representative, I
believe it is critically important to be an advocate for my
constituents, and to be present for every vote,” said Representative
Levy. “I am proud of my voting record, and I am proud to be
representing the citizens of the Berlin, Marlborough and
Southborough”
Representative Levy currently serves
on the Committees on Bonding, Capital Expenditures and State Assets,
Revenue and State Administration and Regulatory Oversight.
Formal sessions will resume after
Labor Day.

As we approach 20,000
graduates we may get more used to
receiving notes like this, but after
getting our fifth unsolicited "In
Control Moment" email in just two weeks,
we wanted to share this timely and well
written note:
My daughter was driving
with her best friend, also 18, in the
front passenger seat towards her old
high school. A pickup truck didn't see
her coming down the road, in oncoming
traffic around 40-50mph. And turned left
directly in front of her. Thanks to your
instructors' teaching, she slammed on
the brake, maintained control of her
car, swerved successfully around the
pickup truck just barely missing it.
As my daughter reported to me: Mom, I
just have to tell you, taking that
course saved Brooke's and my life today!
I didn't have time to think... I just
reacted as they taught us. We would have
been killed... At least an ambulance
ride... The pickup driver was so shaken
up and apologetic. He kept saying how
sorry he was... He said he just didn't
see us. I wouldn't have known what to
do, or slam on the brakes, if it weren't
for this course and what they taught
us.....it saved our lives.
So, can you please tell the course
director and driver from Sunday, that
they saved 2 lives on Friday: my
daughter and her best friend.
I am flying today to drop
my daughter off to start her freshman
year. If it weren't for your course, and
the superb teaching, we would be having
a very different experience this
week...and not celebrating a daughter's
milestone to begin college, but a far
worse parent's worst nightmare instead.
So, just wanted to thank you and your
instructors from the bottom of my heart.
We hope that most of you
never experience a similar close call and we
take special pride in believing our training
has helped keep you safe.
Please
consider sharing this email
with your friends, family, school,
lawmakers, etc...anyone who might not really
understand why this training is so
important!
There are still plenty of
seats available on our calendar as these
last few weeks of summer come to a close.
Please feel free to share our
summer special
and try not to let the people you care
about allow life to get in the way of
scheduling just a half day with us.
Sincerely, |
|
~The In Control Team
P.S.
If you have similar
stories to share, please hit reply and
let us know. Nothing is more
motivational to our team than hearing
how we made a difference.

lead a campaign on Beacon Hill to get dangerous drivers off the road
following a fatal hit-and-run in Taunton involving a driver whose license
has been suspended or revoked 16 times in the past 22 years.
The recent arrest of habitual traffic offender and road menace Paul Baran
has prompted Representative Levy to join with Senate Minority Leader Bruce
Tarr (R-Gloucester), House Minority Leader Brad Jones (R-North Reading) and
members of both the Senate and House GOP caucuses to file legislation
providing the registrar of motor vehicles with the tools to adequately
punish convicted habitual traffic offenders. The proposal calls for longer
suspensions for repeat offenders including a lifetime license revocation for
the worst violators.
Representative Levy said, “This recent incident in Taunton demonstrates that
current law is inadequate to ensure public safety and a young man has paid
the price with his life. This bill will help get dangerous repeat-offender
drivers off the road.”
“Drivers who repeatedly violate the law after having their license revoked
are not only abusing the system, they present in many cases a serious threat
to public safety. The registrar and other officials need the tools to keep
such drivers off the road for more than four years at a time, and this
legislation will provide them,” said Senator Tarr.
“In light of recent events, this legislation must be moved now,” said
Representative Jones. “The public can no longer be put in danger by these
drivers who should clearly not be on the road. By providing stronger tools
to state and local officials, hopefully we will prevent any further
tragedies of this magnitude.”
Current law defines a habitual traffic offender as someone convicted of
three enumerated offenses (including driving while intoxicated, reckless
driving, making a false statement in an application for a learner’s permit
or driver’s license, leaving the scene of an accident, operating a motor
vehicle with a suspended license, driving without a license and the use of a
vehicle while committing a felony) and/or has committed 12 other general
traffic offenses carrying a license suspension of 30 days or more. The bill
filed today would create a tiered system of suspensions for habitual traffic
offenders by adding to the existing habitual offender law two new
categories, level 2 and level 3, with progressively increasing periods of
license revocation.
Specifically, the bill would:
·
increase the minimum period for license revocation for a
first-time habitual traffic offender from 4 to 5 years;
·
create a level 2 habitual traffic offender classification for
individuals who have already had their license revoked for being a habitual
offender, making them subject to a second revocation from 5 to 15 years;
·
create a level 3 habitual traffic offender classification that
provides a potential lifetime ban for offenses for more serious repeat
offenders who have had previous suspensions; and
·
provide the registrar of motor vehicles the authority to
attach terms and conditions as the registrar deems necessary if and when
returning a license to any level habitual traffic offender. |

Work to Begin on Foss
Reservoir Dam Water Levels in Reservoirs Will Be Lowered
This Fall, the Massachusetts Water Resources
Authority will begin a project to upgrade the Foss Reservoir Dam on
the westbound side of Route 9 in Framingham.
This safety-related work includes constructing a parapet wall on the
earthen dam to prevent waves from eroding the dam, and installing a
fusegate - a concrete crest structure on the top of the spillway -
that will increase the spillway capacity at the reservoir in the
event of a catastrophic storm event.
To get ready for this work, the water level in the Foss Reservoir
will be lowered about 10 feet [map]. The work will also require the
removal of some trees along the embankment. The work will be
performed in phases and is expected to be completed by next Fall.
The 130-year old Foss Dam is one of five dams within the MWRA water
system being retrofitted to meet new dam safety requirements.
Although the dam is not in any danger of imminent failure, the State
issued new regulations in 2006 to ensure that dams classified as
“High Hazard” could withstand most any catastrophic event. The
classification High Hazard does not refer to condition, but
proximity to residents. All 18 dams within the MWRA/DCR system are
well maintained and are inspected regularly.
The Foss Reservoir is part of the MWRA’s standby water system that
would be used as a back-up supply in the event of an emergency.
Other work beginning this Fall will take place at the Sudbury
Reservoir in Southborough and Marlborough [map], and the Wachusett
Open Channel in Southborough. Similar work will also be performed at
the Weston Reservoir Dam in Weston in Spring 2012

Let The Races
Begin!
It is an all out duel of transportation technologies in:
Race of the Century
Stow, MA - August 20th and 21st
|
|
The Collings Foundation is hosting the 4th annual Race of
the Century living history event this weekend – August 20th
and 21st! This is an extraordinary event where we pit some
of the greatest technological advancements from the early
1900s against each other is a series of fantastic races.
 It
is quite the sight to see an 1867 Concord Stage Coach
(pulled by a pair of horses) race against a 1906 Pope
Waverly electric carriage, 1904 Franklin and 1906 Olympic
sprint runner! It gets even more interesting seeing a 1909
Bleriot (flying machine) race against a 1914 Stutz Bearcat
and - (in a last ditch effort for the horse) the Pony
Express joins the fray.
As the races move up the chronological scale we will see
the return of the 1930s sprint car
driver “Grass Burn’n” Bruce. He will try beat the famous
PT-17 Stearman pilot Roscoe Turner in an all out
fender-to-prop race for speed superiority.
There is word that an actual time
machine will make an appearance. – This, of course,
is contingent on if the operator can get the date right.
Cost is $15 for adults and $10 for children 12 years and
younger. The Collings Foundation’s incredible collection of
classic automobiles, racecars, military equipment and
aircraft will be open for viewing. Flights will be available
in the T-6 fighter trainer aircraft, PT-17 bi-wing trainer
and New Standard bi-wing. No reservations needed to attend
event. Call to reserve your flight. Food and refreshments
will be available.
 The
Collings Foundation will be hosting a pre-event party and
personal tour of the Foundation’s collection this Friday
August 19 th, 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM. This is a great time to
meet with the Collings staff, tour the facility and get a
ride in some of the machines that will be participating in
the weekend event. Appetizers and refreshments will be
served. $50 per person. Proceeds help support the
Foundation’s living history programs.
Please call to RSVP for Pre-Event Party or to reserve your
flight: 800-568-8924.

ENSURE THE SAFETY OF YOUR PETS
DURING A HURRICANE
FRAMINGHAM,
MA – Taking your pets along is the most important thing individuals
or families can do for their animals during a hurricane evacuation.
Pets left behind can be injured, lost or killed during a storm, or
in its aftermath. Pet owners should include their animals in their
Family Hurricane Planning, before a storm threatens.
“Sometimes the family
pet can be overlooked until the final moments before you and your
family are about to evacuate,” states Massachusetts Emergency
Management Agency Director Kurt Schwartz. “Take the time now to
develop a plan and assemble your pet’s Disaster Kit to ensure your
animal’s safety and care if you are asked to evacuate.”
When you go, they go!
·
Historically, only service animals are allowed inside public mass
care shelters, although SMART (The State of Massachusetts Animal
Response Team) now assists at many of these facilities with animal
sheltering accommodations.
·
Make
plans ahead of time to take your pet to stay at relatives, friends
or a kennel outside the affected area.
·
Know
the locations of pet-friendly hotels and motels.
·
Prepare
a list of boarding facilities and veterinarians who could shelter
animals in an emergency; include 24-hour phone numbers.
·
Consult
with your local animal control officer and Emergency Management
office about possible temporary shelter facilities in your
community.
·
Ask
local animal shelters if they provide emergency shelter or foster
care for pets in a disaster. Animal shelters may be overburdened
caring for the animals they already have, as well as those displaced
by a disaster, so this should be your last resort.
·
Prepare
an emergency kit for your pets; include collars & leashes, a 3-5 day
supply of food and water, a manual can opener, bowls, litter boxes,
photographs of you with your pet, and a week’s supply of medications
that your pet may be taking, including instructions (in case you and
your pet are separated).
-more-
·
Have
copies of your pets’ vaccinations, medical records and prescriptions
in a clean plastic bag or waterproof container.
·
Make
sure your pets wear collars with current license and rabies tags,
and identification tags that include information on where you will
be staying during the emergency.
·
Use a
pet carrier for each of your pets to make transportation easier.
·
Birds
should be transported in a secure travel cage or carrier. During
warm weather, carry a plant mister to spray the birds' feathers
periodically. Do not put water inside the carrier during transport.
·
Provide
a few slices of fresh fruits and vegetables with high water content.
·
Have a
photograph for identification and leg bands.
·
If the
carrier does not have a perch, line it with paper towels and change
them frequently. Try to keep the carrier in a quiet area. Do not let
the birds out of the cage or carrier.
·
Exotic
or dangerous pets are generally dealt with on a case-by-case basis,
to ensure that they are handled, transported and cared for by
trained personnel at appropriate facilities. To insure the safety
of their animals, owners of this type of pet should have advanced
planning preparations ready for their pet’s special needs.
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 Hurricane Preparedness, go to

Description:
Mrs.Gertude I. Falby of Northboro, Massachusetts
gave NEFF this parcel in 1980. This forest of
hardwood stands with some mature pine is
exceptionally beautiful. A number of small
brooks run through the forest leading to a
spectacularly clear pond.
A walking trail leaves Rocky Pond road on the
south end of the forest and traverses the forest
to a swimming and picnic spot on the pond and
then continues north to Green Street.
