New TSA Technology Assesses If You Are Who You Say You Are A passenger walks up to an airport security checkpoint, slips an ID card into a slot, and looks into a camera atop a small screen. The screen flashes “Photo Complete,” and the person walks through—all without having to hand over their identification to the Transportation Security Administration officer sitting behind the screen. It’s all part of a pilot project by the TSA to assess the use of facial recognition technology at a number of airports across the country. “What we are trying to do with this is aid the officers to actually determine that you are who you say you are,” says Jason Lim, identity management capability manager for the TSA, during a recent demo of the technology for reporters at Baltimore Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport.

The technology is currently in 16 airports. In addition to Baltimore, it’s being used at Reagan National near Washington, DC, as well as at airports in Atlanta, Boston, Dallas, Denver, Detroit, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Miami, Orlando, Phoenix, Salt Lake City, San Jose, and Gulfport-Biloxi and Jackson in Mississippi. However, it’s not at every TSA checkpoint, so not every traveler going through those airports would necessarily experience it. The effort comes at a time when the use of various forms of technology to enhance security and streamline procedures is only increasing.

TSA says the pilot is voluntary and accurate, but critics have raised concerns about questions of bias in facial recognition technology and possible repercussions for passengers who want to opt out.

Travelers put their driver’s license into a slot that reads the card or place their passport photo against a card reader. Next, they look at a camera on a screen which captures their image and compares it to their ID. The technology is both checking to make sure the people at the airport match the ID and it is, in fact, real.

We are talking cheese this month!

Owners Sasha Goldman & Chelsea Morrissey own a waterfront cheese & specialty food shop in Warren. They are 100% women owned and have just collaborated with Highlawn Farm to create their own delicious cheese called “Berkshire Rhode” and this cheese shop is a must-go-to favorite of mine to grab a charcuterie board or cup or even try their new “Boat Box” to take on the boat.

By L.A. Reilly

LA: How did the two of you come together to open a cheese shop?

SG: We met through our daughters and we had both moved here from Boston and started talking about how there wasn’t a great place to shop to bring home snacks for entertaining.

There are a lot of good restaurants in the East Bay but not specialty food shops.

We talked about it casually and I was really into making cheese boards at home during the pandemic.

We saw that there was a building on Water St. for rent and thought that it would be perfect. We jumped in! it was something we love to do at home and thought it was weird that there wasn’t anywhere we could buy all the things we wanted. If we felt that way other people probably felt that way too.

Big Bites American Diner Opens in North Providence

By Julia Romano Big Bites American Diner, located in the plaza at 1818 Mineral Spring Avenue, is one of Rhode Island’s newest family eateries serving homemade, delicious food to residents from near and far. With a grand opening on March 6, 2023, Big Bites is already making its mark as a true American Diner.

For those who love a full plate of hot, enticing fare, the owners of Big Bites, Mario Azrak and Georges Makhlouf, are eager to make sure that’s what you get. With a menu that is complete with breakfast and lunch options, there is something to satisfy every palate.

There is no lack of food industry experience with Azrak and Maklouf, the main chef at Big Bites.

Maklouf attended culinary school in both Greece and Lebanon, and has been partnered with Azrak for almost two decades. In addition, Azrak has worked as an executive chef for 25 years in Lebanon, Greece, and the United States, and has had more unique experiences in the restaurant business than most. This amount of knowledge and expertise gives him a leg up on knowing what works.

Azrak also owns and operates Food Beat, with four more locations in Franklin and Worcester, MA, on Providence’s East Side, and the fourth which is currently being relocated. He also runs Spoodles

14 Shop In RI

Deli in Worcester, and provides 15 soup options per day, deli sandwiches, and breakfast dishes. With Big Bites, Azrak is working towards specializing more in the breakfast concept, which he said he and the patrons are seemingly enjoying.

As such, the diner’s menu includes a variety of breakfast foods including huge pancakes that could not be more satisfying for the customers, as well as delicious omelets, made with fluffy eggs and filled with whatever the customer prefers. One of the many special dishes that has become popular with the patrons is called “the Big Bites Melt,” which consists of two poached eggs, bacon or sausage, melted cheese on an English muffin, and a side of crispy home fries.

Lunch items are nothing less than hearty and include crispy fish and chips on Fridays, juicy burgers, Italian dishes, such as chicken parmesan, and many more.

Perhaps, the most renowned menu item, and the one that is a true throwback to the 1950s through the 1980s, is the Magic Chef steak sandwich. Azrak describes this as a “Delmonico steak sandwich with thinly sliced ribeye, mushrooms, onions, mayo, and cheese, on an Italian soft roll.”

If you think you’ve heard of the Magic Chef steak sandwich before, you would not be off base. This popular menu item was originally created at one of North Providence’s most popular former restaurants, The Magic Chef, by the Manzo Family, who owned and operated this well known establishment for more than 30 years. Patrons came from all over to

indulge and savor. The Manzo family is proud that the popularity of the Magic Steak Sandwich has resumed and will continue on, along with the restaurant’s success.

The restaurant’s retro decor is what you would expect in an American diner, with different seating options such as table seating or the typical diner bar seats. Open, yet cozy, you will definitely feel the diner vibe that they are projecting.

So, if you want to do your part in supporting local businesses, stop in to Big Bites American Diner and allow them an opportunity to impress you with a delicious meal made with love and fresh ingredients, as well as amazingly satisfying portions. Your experience will leave you wanting to make this one of your favorite casual eateries that you will want to return to again and again.

Hospitality’s Industrious Operators Move Beyond the Status Quo Dale J. Venturini

I encourage any industry operators and managers reading this column to ask yourself, “what makes my business unique? What do we want our customers to remember us for?”

By Dale J. Venturini,

President/CEO, RI Hospitality Association (RIHA)

The answers to those two questions should be the foundation of your business model.

The COVID-19 pandemic is mostly behind us, but supply chain issues, workforce woes and faltering consumer confidence levels continue to limit our businesses’ ability to operate as they normally would. These problems are farreaching and affect every industry, but they have had incredible consequences for the hospitality industry, specifically.

The market is oversaturated with copycat concepts, and in order to stand out from the crowd, your business should be providing exceptional value, an extraordinary product, and/or unrivaled convenience. Gone are the days of sacrificing quality for convenience; most consumers, especially those on the younger side, expect to “get what they pay for” when choosing where to dine or stay overnight.

While over the course of the last three-plus years many longstanding businesses have shut down and others have come and gone, there have been many success stories documenting transformation within the industry and the development of exciting new concepts, ideas, and business models.

Our industry should not fear change, but instead embrace it. Consumer trends indicate what works and what does not, and to ignore that data is to remain stuck in the past. The current cutthroat economy can be likened to a “survival of the fittest” scenario. In the case of the hospitality industry, those who refuse to evolve will make room for those who are less stubborn.

We are not going back to 2019; the “status quo” now is not what it was then.

On which side of history do you want your business?

Restaurants, hotels, and other industry-based businesses that survived (and even thrived) these past few years have adapted to changing consumer demand, and developed their identity, business model, and brand reputation.

For restaurants, paring down menus to focus on crowd-pleasers and signature items, prioritizing the takeout experience and shifting towards a more sustainable business model are recurring 18 Shop In RI

Flo’s Clam Shack 2 locations 4 Wave Ave. Middletown

Two Little Fish 300 Atlantic Ave. Westerly

Flo’s Drive-in 324 Park Ave. Portsmouth

“Famous for clams since 1936” The name of this establishment is telling of what they do best…but, serving the BEST clams in RI is not all they do. Flo’s Clam Shack has been featured on the Travel Show, Food Network “Best Street Eats,” & “Best Thing I Ever Ate,” which showcases their extraordinary clam dishes. Check out their full menu at www. flosclamshacks.com/.

Long ago, New Englanders always ate their clams steamed, raw on the half shell, or chopped in “chowda.”

In 1936, a Massachusetts man suggested that clams may taste good fried. Since that day, New Englanders have sought out the very best fried clams and when Flo’s Drive-in opened in 1936, they knew to look no further!

For all these years, Flo’s has consistently offered fresh, tender, sweet, plump clams lightly dusted in a batter and fried just right. To taste what New Englanders have been craving for years, everybody knows……YOU GOTTA GO TO FLO’S!

Two Little Fish is the BEST family-owned seafood restaurant located at Misquamicut Beach. They are famous for their fish and chips, hot lobster rolls, clam fritters, and chowder. They serve generous portions of fresh seafood at reasonable prices, and their most popular items are scallops and whole belly clams. They also serve beer and wine, accept credit cards, and have a kids menu. Two Little Fish is a beachside clam shack, roadside drive-in, and an employer with deep roots in the community. They are also concerned enough for the future to ban all plastics for ocean health.

So, if you are enjoying a day at Misquamicut Beach and want a classic New England seafood experience, you don’t even need to get into the car. Just walk over to Two Little Fish, situated right on Atlantic Ave. This eatery is a tradition amongst the regulars and a hit amongst the newer patrons. Two Little Fish is a place where you should bring your appetite and eat large, while enjoying the spectacular view and cool ocean breezes.

How Much Exercise Do We Really Need Each Week?

By: Susan Gazerro

For many, exercise might not be on top of your to-do list, but the World Health Organization (WHO), says it should be. According to the WHO, 1 in 4 adults and 4 out of 5 adolescents don’t get enough cardio exercise. To many, exercise is just not a priority, but a lack of physical activity can increase the odds of an early death by 20 to 30%. Research has proven, exercise can be a powerful tool for prevention, proven to help protect against cardiovascular disease, diabetes, depression, and anxiety. Plus it can improve thinking, learning, and judgment, and can even help you get a better night’s sleep. Add to all these benefits, you just feel better when you exercise.

I have mentioned, in many articles, that chemicals are released from your brain when your body is in exercise mode. Those chemicals change and improve your mood. I also always say that when you feel good physically, you feel great mentally.

When you feel good, everything in life is so much easier to deal with, and your stress level decreases. I repeat, exercise is a powerful tool for you, both physically and mentally.

30 Shop In RI

If you have not exercised in some time, speak to your doctor if you have medical conditions or concerns. Make sure your activity and its intensity are appropriate for your age and fitness level.

Exercise should consist of both some type of cardio and some type of strength training. On average, and this varies depending on age, height, and weight, each week, adults need 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity and two days of muscle strengthening activity.

You may think that 150 minutes sounds like a lot, but it’s not. It’s only two and half hours, and if you divide that by seven days, it’s not very much at all. This is the basic guideline for adults, but again, it varies per person.

Some examples of moderate-intensity activity are walking, jogging, running, swimming, riding a bike, pushing a lawn mower, hiking, etc. Moderate or low exercise would be walking 30 minutes a day, five days a week. Vigorous activity would be a mix of jogging and running for an hour and 15 minutes a day, five days a week. Engaging in martial arts, walking, or running the stairs, can

provide vigorous activity, basically, anything that requires intense effort. You can also do these in short bursts, as long as you are putting forth 100% effort. Make it intense and take short breaks. If you “Google” HIIT workouts, you can get some good ideas for a vigorous workout. You can also do a mix of moderate and vigorous, two out of the five days.

Muscle strengthening exercises or activities can be done by using light weights, resistance bands, medicine balls, or your own body weight. You should be working arms, back, shoulders, chest, and legs. You should be doing these types of strengthening exercises, two days a week. When someone new takes my class and asks me to train them, I explain the difference between a cardio workout and a muscle strengthening workout.

Cardio burns fat for the period you are doing the activity. Whether you are walking, running, swimming, taking a fitness class etc., you are burning fat for the amount of time you are doing the activity. This is great because cardio is the only way to work the heart muscle. Muscle strengthening activities continue to burn fat for an average of up to two days after you’ve completed the workout. This is because you are activating the muscles and they continue to burn the fat. This, again, depends on age, height, and weight.

You can also do a low impact workout doing core exercises. Having a strong core has so many benefits. Again, when someone new takes my class or asks me to train them, I ask them what body part they are looking to make the strongest. I get everything from biceps to quads, hamstrings, etc. My response is, it should be “your mind.” When you have a strong mind, you are more apt to stay focused and dedicated. The second body part is the core. When you have a strong core, all other muscle groups are easier to work on. Start with basic sit ups. Add a weight. Start with weight at your chest, as you do a full sit up, lift the weight to the ceiling. Bring it back to the chest and lie back down. Put hands flat on the side of your body or lean back on forearms, alternate kicks in the air, then bring both legs up together. All of these should be done at least 15x, for two sets.

Quotes of the month: “Once you are exercising regularly, the hardest thing is to stop it.”

“What seems impossible today, will one day become your warm-up.”

HOW TO USE THE TRICKS FROM FUNCTIONAL TRAINING TO IMPROVE YOUR GAME IN THE CAGE

By Kevin Kearns | Burn With Kearns How to Use the Tricks From Functional Training to Improve Your Game in the Cage For as long as I can remember, I constantly and forever heard that if you want to become stronger, you must move heavy weights. The definition of functional strength training is strength that you can use. That form has to fit the function. This does not mean you have to throw out all those “high school” and “beach muscle” moves you love. What it means is thinking outside the box a little bit. It means being a little crazy and not giving a crap what people might be saying about you at the gym.

Especially, if you are in the cage. You need an edge.

Here are some key concepts to remember about functional strength training that will enhance your game. Why and how do I know? These are the same concepts I, personally, used with 15 UFC fighters.

Do not sacrifice weight for form.

Multi-Planar motions are more like MMA and can be MMA specific.

Challenge the CNS (central nervous system).

Think outside the box.

So let’s look at challenging the central nervous system (CNS). What is the CNS? The CNS is made up of the brain, the spinal cord, and the optic nerves. The CNS controls thought processes, guides movement, and registers sensations throughout the body.

1. Push 2. Pull 3. Level change 4. Rotation 5. Locomotion 6. Balance or instability The other benefits of incorporating this type training into your regular training are the following

Three rules: be effective, efficient, and safe. The last one is really important. It has to be somewhat safe for what you are doing.

Increase use of stabilizers and neutralizers (these help with wasted motion and balance).

Form fits the function.

Increase muscle mass usage.

32 Shop In RI

You have heard the term, “I used muscles I didn’t know I had.”

Helps break through plateaus when training.

It’s similar to not bench pressing for a while and using a different exercise that involves the chest.

Then, after a few weeks, you go back to bench pressing and break through that new bench press best!

The last and final benefit is helping rehab injuries that you may have, without laying off training. This is of primary importance when getting ready for the cage. No game, no pay!

The way that this is different from specific balance training is that you are able to integrate this into your everyday routine. You don’t have to do a separate portion of balance training. You add a little “ salsa” to your normal training to spice things up. Here are some other examples.

Drills for MMA specific and enhance balanced Push Ups - try rotational push ups , push ups on a stability ball , lateral push ups, rotational push ups with dumbbells in each hand, push ups with hand on a stability ball, handstand pushups, push ups with one hand on a med ball, push ups with both hands on a med ball, push ups crossing over a med ball, and alike. The combos can be endless and reap awesome rewards.

Pull ups - side to side pull ups, towel pull ups, jump squat to pull ups, BJJ gi top pull ups, explosive pulls, inverted rows, and alike.

Curls - standing on one leg, bicep curl to shoulder press, upper cuts, squat curl and press, squat curl, press and rotate, squat curl and press and burpee.

The point is that with a little imagination, your training will be enhanced, as well as your physique, in many ways. The young guys will also be impressed and fall on their faces the first time they try push ups off a stability ball. That’s an added, yet very rewarding bonus.

Take a Fresh Look at Your Finances By: Carrie McPherson

Remember those financial resolutions you committed to at the beginning of the year? If they seem like a distant memory, the start of summer is an excellent time to reset and take stock of your progress. Follow the tips below to recommit yourself to your financial goals.

1. Start with a clean slate.

Review your financial situation and recent spending patterns. Is your spending aligned with your financial goals? Re-evaluate any bad money habits that may be holding you back from making better financial decisions. Remind yourself that healthy financial behaviors can become part of your daily routine.

5. Prepare for the unexpected.

It’s easier to do something when you are intentional. Just like you set aside an afternoon to clean out the garage, set aside a few hours to clean up your finances. During this time, reflect, organize and make a conscious commitment to take responsibility for your financial future.

Life can throw challenging curveballs. Unexpected events such as unplanned medical bills or losing your job can greatly impact your bottom line. The only certainty is uncertainty, and that’s why it’s critical to assess your insurance policies to ensure you’re fully covered, and establish an “emergency fund” to cover surprise expenses. Consider reviewing your life, disability health, home and auto insurance policies with a financial professional who can help you identify and close any gaps in coverage. If you’ve acquired artwork, collectibles, technology or other valuables, make sure they are covered under your current home insurance plan. Also, use this as a time to update beneficiaries on your policies if needed.

3. Create, update or review your plan of action.

6. Find joy in the process.

A financial plan provides a roadmap for spending and saving, and encourages you to allocate your money toward the items or experiences that matter most to you. Your plan should articulate how you intend to handle your day-to-day finances, while working to achieve your long-term goals such as paying off your home mortgage and confidently retiring on your terms. If a large expense comes along, you may need to re-evaluate your financial priorities. Adjust as necessary and then get back on track as soon as possible. Likewise, if you receive a raise or windfall, consider how the additional funds can be applied to your financial plan.

The desire to keep your finances in good order is an admirable aspiration, and it has lasting impacts. Focusing on your finances today may help you to achieve a more comfortable financial future for you and your family tomorrow. Consider working with a financial professional to help create a plan to reach your goals. With renewed energy and a well-defined plan, you can feel good about your financial choices.

2. Commit to financial stability.

4. Spend within reason.

Your plan can provide you with guardrails to keep long-term goals in sight as you satisfy near-term wants and needs. When you know your emergency fund, retirement and other goals are on track, you can purchase tickets to the big game or plan a family trip without feeling guilty or worried that the costs will prevent you from achieving your larger financial goals.

Attorney Robert V. Russo SETS THE BAR HIGH WHEN SERVING HIS CLIENTS

by Paul Lonardo

When it comes to personal injury attorneys, most people might believe that they are all the same. While they may all do the same type of work regarding the representation of the clients they serve, each law firm comes with their own unique experiences and philosophies.

Attorney Russo V. Russo’s practice focuses on personal injury, something he has been doing for over thirty years now.

think he’s crazy, but he handles all aspects of his cases himself, including his own arbitrations, his own statements, and even if he is away from the office, no matter where he is, he sees every intake. It’s a professional commitment he has for the work that he does, and it shows how fully invested he is, personally, in every case.

When you hear his office promote ‘personal service for personal injuries,’ they mean just that. The size of the firm is big enough to handle any case, but not too big, so his clients still get that intimate office feel, along with individual attention.

Russo graduated from Bryant University and

obtained his Juris Doctorate degree in Maryland, at the University of Baltimore. He was originally employed at Coia & Lepore, Ltd. in Providence, where he handled many personal injury cases. In 1997, after seven years at that firm, he went off on his own and established Robert V. Russo Law Offices, where he continues his practice with a primary focus on personal injury, motor vehicle accidents, medical malpractice, slip and falls, and work-related injuries.

Because of his many years of service in and around the greater Providence area, Russo’s ties to the community run deep. He has been a member of the Johnston Town Council since 1995, serving as president of the town council for the past 17 years. His political activities have provided him opportunities to help the town come to agreement on issues ranging from zoning matters to school concerns and tax treaties. His experience being a part of local government is something he sees as being helpful and useful in his work as an attorney, where resolving conflicts between two parties who perceive the same situation in completely different ways is always part and parcel of what he does on a day-to-day basis.

Attorney Russo is not afraid of challenge, which should be an essential quality in any attorney. You might think that a lawyer who handles primarily personal injury cases wouldn’t participate in potentially risky sports and recreational activities, like snowmobiling and jet skiing, but you would be wrong. Russo believes that you need to be mentally, physically, and emotionally tough to be successful, which is why he stays active and fit, challenging himself by participating in physical endurance events such as triathlons and road races, whenever he can. There’s a tenacity there that translates to client confidence because they know Russo will fight for them.

Robert V. Russo Law Offices employs an associate attorney and a large office staff of ten, who Russo gives a lot of credit to for its overall success, not just for the practice, but for the clients they regularly serve.

“My core staff has been with me since the beginning,” Russo said, adding, “ I’ve been so fortunate to have them. I wouldn’t be where I am today without them.”

Russo is happy and satisfied with the way things are going and how he is able to continue to serve the public after so many years.

“I’m here for the duration,” he said. “I love it.

If the day ever comes that I don’t feel the same way helping people in the capacity I do, we’ll go from there.”

While he has no current plans for expansion or growth, there is always a possibility that the firm could become a family business sometime down the road.

Russo is a member of the Rhode Island Association of Justice, Justinian Law Society, Rhode Island Bar Association, and has been admitted to the Federal District Court for the District of Rhode Island and the United States Supreme Court.

Please visit the law office website at www.robertrussolawoffice.com or contact Robert Russo by phone at 401-777-0000, to discuss any issues or questions you have. Russo’s staff is always available, and Spanish is spoken.

The law office is located at 1011 Smith Street in Providence.

5 Financial Considerations When Moving to a New State By: Edward Pontarelli Jr.

Deciding whether to move to a different state comes with many considerations. Top of mind might be factors like the weather, job market conditions, and education systems. Finances likely come into play, as well. Here are five key considerations to take into account as you evaluate your options: 1. Recognize cost-of-living factors Living expenses vary from one place to the next. Moving across state lines means your housing costs are likely to change. Commuting expenses are another consideration, as well as expected monthly payments for services like utilities and internet connections. Health insurance costs may also differ depending on where you live. Make sure you are prepared for your new financial realities – whether they’ll ultimately help or hurt your bottom line.

2. Understand your moving expenses If you’re moving for a new job, some employers will cover moving costs, but if that isn’t the case, it’s important to estimate what your out-of-pocket expenses will be. If you have few personal belongings, costs can be minimal. But, if you are moving a whole household, you’ll need to rent a moving van or hire a professional service. Moving costs can add up quickly, so make sure you include them as you build out your budget.

3. Become familiar with tax laws in your new state State income tax rates vary dramatically across the U.S.. Some states have higher sales taxes, while others offer sales tax exemptions on items like food and clothing. This is another “living cost” consideration as you assess how your bottom line may be affected by a move out of state.

4. Consider the impact on your investments Investment income such as dividends or capital gains may be taxed differently in your new home state versus the state from where you are moving from. Make sure you are aware of the potential impact and determine if it might be beneficial to make changes to your portfolio. In addition, if tax-exempt municipal bonds from your current home state are part of your portfolio, be aware that you will lose the state tax exemption benefit if you change your state of residency.

5. Review your estate plan Laws affecting estate plans vary by state. You’ll likely need to update your wills, trusts, and any other key estate-related documents such as health care and financial power-of-attorney documents. Consider your decision to move across state boundaries a perfect opportunity to conduct a thorough review of your estate plan.

Work with a professional If you have a relationship with a financial advisor, it makes sense to discuss the financial ramifications of your move with him or her. Keep in mind that they will need to be licensed in the state where you intend to move if you plan to keep working together. If that’s not feasible, you may need to seek advice from an advisor with the right credentials to serve your needs.

Start the process as soon as you can to ensure a smooth transition of your finances as you settle into your new living situation.

What is an Independent Adjuster?

One of the more frustrating experiences that one can work through is that of dealing with a homeowners insurance claim.

The ironic part about this, of course, is the endless array of commercials that one sees from the various insurance companies touting their wares through creative marketing, celebrity appearances, and a whole lotta superfluous exaggeration, as to how well taken care of their clients are.

What I can only assume is that the marketing departments of these said companies are unintentionally promoting product benefits that, other than offering a cost savings, which may be realized in choosing one company over another, simply do not exist.

This plays itself out in real world scenarios on a daily basis, particularly in the home improvement industry.

When someone experiences a loss that is covered by their homeowners insurance policy, whether it be due to a broken pipe, a tree falling on the house, etc., many times it is assumed that their insurance company will simply “take care of them.”

Even for those folks who realize there may be some initial ‘hoop jumping’ when filing a claim, there is still often the assumptive approach that the insured has nothing to worry about. Unfortunately, this utopian mindset seldom truly plays itself out in reality.

The majority of homeowners really do not have experience filing a homeowners insurance claim. For many, taking the insurance company’s word and following its verbatim guidance could very well leave the insured in a quite compromised position. In fact, in almost 30 years of working directly with insurance companies, I can say with absolute certainty that the truth of these types of situations is that as the adjuster assigned by the insurance company works through the claim, 50% of the time, they are reasonable to deal and work with.

The other 50% of the time, the adjuster is out of their mind (please excuse the crass descriptor). Literally, it is black & white. 50% of the time, a reasonable situation (all things considered) & 50% of the time, a situation in which the homeowner could really get raked over the coals for the simple reason of just not knowing any better.

Enter the Independent Adjuster (the ‘IA’).

An Independent Adjuster is an Adjuster that does not work for an individual insurance company, but who works entirely on their own. While they may, at times, be hired by the insurance companies themselves to adjust claims, many IAs work strictly with insureds as an advocate for them to make sure that anything the insured is entitled to under their homeowners policy, is properly compensated for by their homeowners insurance company.

Many IAs are former adjusters that have been employed in the past by an insurance company, hence, the reason why they are often so much better at what they do than the potentially junior adjuster, which the insurance company happens to assign to any given case.

It is important that the IA has a copy of your policy (it is wise to keep a physical copy of it in a safe place, as well as an electronic version), as they will use the policy to aid in making a case for the amount the insurance company should ultimately be paying out on the claim.

IAs usually get paid 10% of whatever the total value of the claim is. Considering how far off insurance companies’ initial analyses can often be this is very much worth it.

If you are in a pinch and are able to connect with a really good IA after reviewing your particular case, they will be honest with you and let you know whether they will be able to help you out or not. Although involving an IA can potentially drag a case out much longer than if the insurance company properly ponied up the money related to the claim right from the very beginning, in those instances, where I evaluate a situation and recommend an IA become involved, I believe that the wait will be well worth it.

Having to deal with some type of insurance loss at your home can be painful enough, or having to deal with an insurance company that is intentionally or unintentionally not working in the best interest of their insureds, is additional excruciation that no homeowner should have to experience.

Fortunately, aligning yourself with a professionally competent IA can be as relieving as having Batman arrive on scene when any downtrodden damsel finds themself in distress.

FINAL CUT

Landcapes, Hardscapes, Site Work

By Susan Gazerro

Final Cut does it all, and they do it as if they are designing and creating their own yard. The owner realizes that people are spending more time at home, and it’s important to love where you live. Final Cut’s goal is to imaginatively create an outdoor environment to complement your needs and lifestyle. Homeowners usually concentrate on the interior of their home, more so than the exterior, but that’s where Final Cut comes in.

Hardscapes: Design and installation of Patios, Fire Pits, Fireplaces, Outdoor Kitchen and Bars, Steps, Driveways, Pool Aprons, Retaining Walls, and Walkways

Before I list all of the services Final Cut offers, I thought it was important to learn a little bit about the owner, Matt.

I felt this was important to include because when you hear Matt speak about his business, you instantly know that this is not just a job. Matt’s passion and pride come through immediately. Matt told me that while other kids were at the baseball field or at the beach, from the age of 14, he was working for his cousin’s landscape business.

Matt said that he would be so excited to put the uniform on and get to work with the older guys. He admired them, early on, and was eager to learn everything they knew. He was in awe with the extent of their knowledge in both Landscape and Hardscape.

Landscape Services: Lawn Installations, Hydro-Seeding, Sod Installation, Shrub and Tree Plantings, and Drainage Correction

When Matt was old enough to go out on his own, he started Final Cut. Final Cut grew because of Matt’s experience, knowledge, passion, and competitive pricing.

As Matt grew the business, he also added Site Work.

Below is a detailed list of what Final Cut offers.

Biomes Brings Out the Kid in Everyone

by Mark Berger

Since Mark Hall was a teenager, he had an affinity for marine life. He would go to the shores of New England to search, locate, and study such wildlife. It would become his life’s work in learning all there is to know about the area’s inhabitants of the land and sea.

By collecting all forms of animals, Hall envisioned a way of educating others, both young and young-at-heart, about the creatures small and large and what they can teach us.

That dream became a reality after he opened up Biomes on Post Road (Rte. 1) in North Kingstown, as a way to show people other life forms and their purpose in life.

His six-member staff (including Hall) spend their days looking after hundreds of species, from lizards and fish to a tortoise named “Darwin,” who is one of the facility’s most popular attractions.

When families, groups, or field trips arrive, Hall ensures they are treated to one interesting experience.

“We hold private group functions during the morning for birthday parties, scouting excursions, and school field trips. Many people like touching Darwin, the horseshoe crabs, and seeing all of the different animals we have here. They also have the chance to see unusual animals that migrated here from either the Caribbean or Florida. There is plenty to see and do here,” he said.

That’s because Biomes possesses a 12,000 sq.ft. building to house all of the new and unique characters. Those who enter can marvel at the large aquarium tank filled with three different sharks and stingrays. They also have rescued and local marine life on display. Hall estimates that roughly “95 percent” of its collection comes from local waters. He added that they have the largest New England collection of animals in the world. Should some of their guests get too large for their care, their partnership with the New England Aquarium in Boston enables them to pass them on for continued care.

Learning about animal life is something Hall deeply believes in. He began as a 14 year old catching marine life in the area. He would later start supplying specimens to local colleges and schools.

That transformed into becoming a traveling Biomes teacher, traveling throughout New England to show students near and far his assortment of animals. Hall would get requests from teachers who wanted to have him come display his work to their classes. He said that the business simply snowballed from there.

In 1991, Hall decided to not only bring his collections to the people, he would also have a place where people can come to him. That became the beginning of Biomes.

These days, Biomes find themselves in their peak time of the year. Hall said that they are busy from April vacation to the end of August. Rainy days, weekends, and other occasions make for a prime destination for families and groups.

The fall will be when Hall, his staff, and several volunteers will comb the local waters in search of discovering new aquatic life. Sometimes, they can make a contribution in ways they never envisioned.

One time, they found a southern sand tilefish that strayed up this way. By its name, one can surmise that particular creature is not from around here.

They found it on an enclosed beach. If someone else finds this species somewhere outside its range, then The Smithsonian will document it and change the range regarding where that animal is located. While the odds of that happening are almost zero, Hall said that it is pretty cool to be registered as having found this rare fish in this area.

“Some of our volunteers have been doing this with us for 25 years,” Hall continues. “This is their passion and they want to contribute this way.”

The Biomes Center is New England’s only private marine education facility and the most hands-on aquarium in the region. They’ve been providing interactive marine biology programs for schools and families since 1989.

They specialize in teaching children and adults about the marine animals of Narragansett Bay and the Atlantic Ocean.

Biomes is open daily from 12:00 noon until 5:00 PM. Reservations for groups must be made in advance by emailing Mark Hall at mark@biomescenter.com or calling 401-885-4690.

Further details about tours and upcoming events may be found by visiting their website at: biomescenter.com.

Hall considers learning about these animals as a world in and of itself.

“Ghost crabs live in warmer climates and don’t live in water,” he said. “We are in the process of building an enclosed beach for them that mimics their normal habitat. It’s the opportunity to educate others about the other life forms around us.

Toyota of Smithfield Welcomes New Service Manager Anthony Almedia

By Mark Berger Having been in the automotive industry for many years, Anthony Almedia’s journey has landed him as Toyota of Smithfield’s new service manager.

He began the new position, recently, and expects the first few months of his tenure will be learning from the 30-employee staff, and exceeding the department’s goals for the upcoming year.

Almeida credits General Manager John Durrani for encouraging him to work for the dealership.

“John was the primary reason for me coming here,” said Almedia, who previously worked as service manager at Kia of Norwood, before taking over in April. “Working with John and the dealership’s location were some of the main reasons why I decided to work here.”

Almeida’s top priorities are building customer retention and building customer relationships in the service department.

Customer care and relations require almost three times more attention in the service department, than in any other department in the automotive store.

“This is where Almeida’s experience and expertise will benefit Toyota of Smithfield—and more importantly—our customers,” Durrani said. “As I always say, ‘without our customers, we do not have a business.’ So, we added Tony strictly to improve our customers’ service experience. This is all about our customers and their well being.”

Another major goal is earning The President’s Award, again.

Almedia said that the dealership missed out on 2022, after winning it in 2021. He said that winning it will be a tall task, but one he and other staff are ready to face.

Almedia comes to Toyota of Smithfield with 25 years of experience. He worked his way from starting off as a “lot kid,” parking vehicles before cleaning cars and entering into sales, before returning back to service.

The dealership will continue to hold its monthly private sale.

This month’s event takes place on Saturday, June 24 and Sunday, June 25, from 10:00 AM until 6:00 PM, by appointment only. Managers will be there to answer questions and offer additional incentives.

The Dealership’s Peace of Mind Purchase Process means no hassles over pricing, trade-in values, cash back and rebate incentives offered up front, and the best available leasing and financing terms, up front. Durrani said that this is just part of the all-around, customer-driven experience he implemented to ensure the process does not get bogged down in miscommunication.

Schedule an appointment by calling them 401-723-0962, or on their website at www.toyotaofsmithfield.com.

Not Working? Try Networking!

By: Mark Berger

It’s been several years since the world was hit with a crippling pandemic that shut everything down.

Much has been written and said since March 2020, regarding how business leaders and owners should proceed during that period. Zoom and Teams apps were created to keep businesses connected and moving forward. The need for such devices and technology then sought to maintain productivity and keep executives from imposing layoffs and closing their doors.

morning person, then perhaps a “Morning Coffee” (often put on by various Chambers of Commerce) or a “Welcome Wednesday” (hosted by the Northern Rhode Island Chamber of Commerce) may be your choice. These events are open before the business day starts at 9:00 AM. They offer chances to meet other people from other industries, share stories, and exchange information. This can lead to face-to-face meetings and projects, as a result.

As the world continues healing itself from Covid-19, more people want to connect with other like-minded professionals, in person. Some people have returned to networking as a resource to expand their contacts. It’s a tried-and-true way of accomplishing this goal—going to events to meet new people and pitch who you are and what you do. More professionals are making the jump from video conferences to in-person networking.

Because of this, the process of figuring out where to go and who to meet becomes very important.

For any upcoming morning coffee events, please visit your local Chamber for more details. The “Welcome Wednesday” event usually meets monthly on the first Wednesday at Big Brothers Big Sisters of Rhode Island on 188 Valley Street, Ste. 125, Providence. Registration is free but required through the Chamber’s website at www. nrichamber.com. Further details can be found either on the website or calling them at 401-3341000.

While there are so many events happening statewide, nobody has the time to attend all of them. Even those so-called “serial networkers” have to eat and sleep some time. Here are some options to consider: When should someone attend a networking event?

This can only be answered by the individual, but with numerous events statewide at different places and times during the day. If you are a 72 Shop In RI

How about networking during lunch time? There are plenty of “Lunch and Learn” events happening throughout the region. One of the more popular ones is put on by the Central Rhode Island Chamber of Commerce. Their “Leads Luncheon” typically happens on the fourth Friday of the month at various locations within Central Rhode Island (often within Warwick and Cranston member establishments).

They offer several rounds of “speed networking,”

where attendees pitch themselves, pass out business cards and make connections. The event is fun and the business opportunities arise from those who attend.

Anyone interested in learning more may visit the Central Rhode Island Chamber website at www. centralrichamber.com. They can obtain details and register there. There is a charge for Chamber members, their guests and slightly more for nonChamber members.

Evening events often offers a way to unwind after a long day. There are many organizations that sponsor events ranging from painting and wine to bowling and fundraising events.

Speaking of fundraising, charity events are great opportunities to network and support various causes. People are already there to help others so it becomes the best of both worlds.

Because of the sheer number of charities doing yeoman’s work, take the time to research any of the hundreds of charities registered in Rhode Island, and throw your support to them. It can give people the chance to connect with a common bond.

One doesn’t need to stay in Rhode Island to network. One networking event that generates a buzz monthly is Momentum Networking. Formally known as 4th Monday Networking, they take over Towne Tavern and Tap in Attleboro and have food, conversation, and discuss upcoming events. Bob Salvas has been running this monthly event for well over a decade.

Networking can be numerous and intimidating if you aren’t sure where to go or what to do. This is where having an event guide helps to plan out the week. Several professionals send out weekly Networking newsletters that highlight all events in the region. These are free newsletters that come are emailed weekly.

To become a part of their respective list, please email them directly. They also accept submissions

for any event happening in Rhode Island and southeastern Massachusetts at no charge.

Contact Bob Salvas at Bob@bobsalvas.com for the Momentum Networking Newsletter and to attend his monthly event.

Contact Jay White at Jaywhitebiz1@cox.net for “Uncle Jay’s” Traveling Breakfast Network.

Richard Austin may be reached at Rich@speakingofsuccess.us for his Total Exposure Networking Newsletter.

Feel free to mention my name to them when you do.

Mark Berger is the Principal of Berg’s Eye Communications in Cumberland. He is considered to be a “serial networker” who uses the Power of Networking to help clients share their story. Contact him at 401-365-2202 or markb@bergseyeprri.com.
