Community members rally against 4:00 am bar closing

0

SAN DIEGO, Aug. 22, 2017 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The California Alcohol Policy Alliance is reporting that dozens of community members gathered in North Park Tuesday, to protest a proposal to allow bars and nightclubs to serve alcohol as late as 4 a.m. Senate Bill 384 would allow last call for alcohol to be pushed from 2 a.m. and 4 a.m. for restaurants and bars. It would not apply to liquor stores.

Lisa Bridges, with Community Action, Service & Advocacy (CASA), and member of the California Alcohol Policy Alliance says, “We need to put public safety ahead of alcohol profits. Allowing alcohol to be served until 4 a.m. pushes the most dangerous time to be on the road right into the morning commute and imposes more burden on law enforcement.”

The San Diego Police Chiefs and Sheriffs Association, and the California College and University Police Chiefs Association, are among nearly one hundred organizations that oppose Senate Bill 384, including MADD and Alcohol Justice.

“The term local control is bait to lure in potential supporters,” says Brian Curry a Pacific Beach resident and past chair of the Pacific Beach Planning Group. “Instead, it leaves cities vulnerable to the same moneyed business interests: Big Alcohol and its cousin, the entertainment lobby that run roughshod over existing alcohol policies with their promises of creating jobs and tax revenue,” he said.

San Diego County is home to more than a dozen colleges and universities, where safety associated with binge drinking is already a concern. Alcohol is the leading cause of death among teenagers in California.

Judith Garcia Rojas, UCSD student, says” Extending the bar hours would only exacerbate the impact of alcohol on young people” In California, alcohol already claims more than 10,500 lives per year and leaves more than 900,000 people injured.

Those at todays rally say they are concerned for public safety. Extending bar hours raises public safety concerns, endangers public health, and pits law enforcement and communities against the well-resourced industries that stand to profit from increasing alcohol availability.

Flagship Food Group subsidiary acquires certain assets of Glutenfreeda Foods, Inc.

GREENWOOD VILLAGE, Colo., Aug. 22, 2017 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Flagship Food Group announced today that one of its subsidiaries has acquired certain assets of Glutenfreeda Foods, Inc., including its brand portfolio and its USDA manufacturing facility near Seattle, Washington.  Terms of the transaction were not disclosed, but Flagship management indicated that the deal will increase its brand distribution in thousands of new retail outlets, including traditional, natural, and specialty food retailers in both the U.S. and Canada.  The acquisition also provides Flagship with manufacturing capabilities in the Pacific Northwest.  Key members of management, including Yvonne Gifford, Jessica Hale, and Greg Gifford will join the Flagship team.

Flagship Food Group subsidiary acquires certain assets of Glutenfreeda Foods, Inc.

“Over the past decade, Yvonne and her team have developed a tremendous portfolio of gluten-free and ‘better for you’ products that represent what consumers today want in their food products.  Their brand mission is similar in many ways to the commitment we’ve made with our Lilly B’s brand and other products in our portfolio, and we see tremendous opportunity to combine forces to better serve our customers,” said Rob Holland, Flagship CEO.  “Through our partnership, we hope to vastly expand the distribution of both brand portfolios while staying true to what makes them important to our consumers.”

Patrick Moulder, the company’s CFO and head of M&A added, “We have known the Glutenfreeda family for many years.  I am pleased that we have been able to come together in a transaction that I am confident will benefit both teams as we continue to grow.”

Glutenfreeda was founded in 2006 on the premise that there was significant consumer demand for food that was gluten-free, but that also tasted good.  The brand is known for its granola, oatmeal, burritos, sandwich wraps, tortillas, and flatbreads.  Today, its products are found in retailers across North America including Whole Foods, Sprouts, Publix, Loblaws, Wegmans, Kroger, and numerous other retailers.  The Company also has an active direct-to-consumer business through its partnership with Amazon Prime.

“It’s been an amazing journey building and running this company.  We have great products and great customers.  What we needed was a great business partner.   Flagship is the perfect fit for our business, our team, and our production facility,” said Yvonne Gifford, founder and CEO of Glutenfreeda.  

Glutenfreeda operates a 25,000 square-foot manufacturing facility in Burlington, Washington.  Flagship will take over operations in the facility and has agreed to hire nearly all of the employees of the company.  “As our business has grown across the country, we need more production space.  We hope that we can expand upon the operations in Burlington over time,” added Mr. Moulder.

Flagship developed its own ‘good for you’ brand, Lilly B’s, in 2015.   Named after Holland’s daughter, Lilly B’s is a leader in the organic space with its 100% organic burritos, sweet potato French fries, and other products.

Last week, Flagship announced the construction of a new 76,000 square foot frozen distribution facility in Albuquerque, New Mexico.  Governor Susana Martinez joined Holland and Flagship COO Carlos Angulo on location to announce the new facility.

JP Morgan Chase and HSBC Bank provided the majority of the financing for the acquisition. 

About Flagship Food Group

Flagship Food Group is a global, diversified food company serving the retail, club store, and food service channels across a broad array of product lines.  Its brands include TJ Farms®, Lilly B’s®, 505 Southwestern®, Chris & Pitts®, Glutenfreeda® and Su Ming®.  It also serves as a valuable supplier to private label customers and provides industry services to food companies through its logistics and packaging divisions.  Flagship is headquartered in Greenwood Village, Colorado, and its more than 500 employees serve the company in its key facilities and offices in or near Denver, Los Angeles, Albuquerque, Boise, Indianapolis, Seattle, and Minnesota.

BETHESDA, Maryland, Aug. 22, 2017 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Whether changing the oil, replacing the wiper blades or checking the tires, finding the time to perform simple preventative vehicle maintenance is money in the bank, says the non-profit Car Care Council.

Car_Care_Council_Be_Car_Care_Aware_Logo

According to research conducted by IMR Inc., one out of three consumers that put off routine vehicle maintenance do so because they cannot find a convenient time. In addition, millennials and those who own older vehicles are more likely to delay routine maintenance.

“There is an old adage that if you take care of your car, your car will take care of you,” said Rich White, executive director, Car Care Council. “Making time to perform routine auto care not only ensures a safer, more dependable vehicle, but car owners can preserve the trade-in value and save money by addressing small issues before they become more complicated, expensive repairs.”

The most common maintenance procedures to keep a car operating safely and reliably while maintaining its long-term value involve checking the oil, filters and fluids, the belts and hoses, brakes, tires and air conditioning. The Car Care Council also recommends an annual tune-up and wheel alignment.

To make it easier for car owners to remember to include auto care in their busy schedules, the Car Care Council offers a free custom service schedule and email reminder service. This simple-to-use online resource can be personalized to help make auto care more convenient and economical.

California Alcohol Policy Alliance Announces Community rallies against 4:00 am bar closing

0

SAN DIEGO, Aug. 18, 2017 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ —

WHO:   Community members and Public health and safety advocates speak out against proposed 4:00 am bar closing

  • Crisiti Walker, MADD
  • Brian Curry, past chair Pacific Beach Community Planning Group
  • Judith Rojas, recent UCSD graduate
  • Lucky Morrison, former North Park resident
  • Lisa Bridges, California Alcohol Policy Alliance (CAPA)

WHEN:
Tuesday, August 22, 2017
11:00 am

WHERE:  
North Park Way & 29th Street – northwest corner
San Diego, California

Note: Directly behind the Observatory, the site of an alcohol-fueled melee and stabbing. Media will receive eye witness video of the brawl including the overwhelming police presence needed to contain the violence.

WHY:                   

  • Extending bar hours to 4 am will result in alcohol-related problems and impose more burden on law enforcement!
  • San Diego’s top crime neighborhoods are already drowning in alcohol. Extending alcohol hours will exacerbate impact on neighborhoods.
  • California Department of Alcohol Beverage Control (ABC) does not have resources to investigate nuisance, crime and other alcohol compliance problems.
  • Impacts of a 4 am last call will not stay local.  The harms and costs will spread across all of our roads ways and communities forcing all municipalities to pay the price for additional law enforcement, EMT and other costs.
  • Alcohol-related deaths in California top 10,500 per year with over 900,000 alcohol-related incidents of harm including crime, injuries, sexual assault, and high-risk sex.
  • According to CDC reports, California suffers $35 billion a year in alcohol-related harm, with local and state governments paying nearly $14.5 billion annually.
  • The $350 million dollars the state receives annually in alcohol taxes and fees does not even come close to covering the costs.
  • Put public safety over bar profits! DO NOT extend bar hours!

Vamousse Provides Tips on Choosing a Lice Treatment for Back-to-School

0
Parents should be informed about how to treat head lice because cases increase when kids return to school.

MORRISVILLE, N.C., Aug. 18, 2017 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Lice cases spike at back-to-school which means many parents will be shopping for lice treatment along with No. 2 pencils as kids return to the classroom. Parents have a variety of over-the-counter (OTC) options for treating lice – many more than their parents had – so selecting a product may feel overwhelming. Pesticide-free lice treatment Vamousse provides a look at the three most common types of lice treatment products found in the first aid aisle.

Parents should be informed about how to treat head lice because cases increase when kids return to school.

Pesticide-Based Lice Treatments
Traditionally pesticide-based products have been the most common lice treatments available. These products contain the active ingredients Permethrin or Pyrethrum, which are pesticides introduced more than four decades ago as pediculicides – OTC drugs to kill lice.1 With these products, the formula kills lice but does little to kill their eggs, making a second application necessary seven to 10 days later to kill newly hatched lice that were in the egg stage when the first treatment was performed.

A big concern today is pesticide-resistance. Researchers studying head lice across the U.S. have documented that strains of “super lice” exist in much of the country. As a result of having relied on the same chemicals to treat lice over decades, resistance has grown, leading to less consistent reliability of these pesticide-containing products. To learn more about this issue, check out this article published recently by TyraTech, makers of Vamousse.  

Pesticide-Free Lice Treatments
This category of products is aimed at addressing the pesticide-resistance challenge and providing a different approach to ending an infestation. Within the pesticide-free category, there are two main types of products: pediculicides and combing facilitators.

  • Pesticide-Free Pediculicides
    This newer generation of treatments emphasizes safe, non-toxic ingredients with the ability to kill lice, including super lice without using the pesticides to which lice have become resistant. Often these products include a Drug Facts box indicating that the FDA recognizes the active ingredient as a pediculicide – an OTC drug for the treatment of lice.

    Vamousse Lice Treatment is an example of a pesticide-free pediculicide. Vamousse is also proven to kill eggs, dehydrating them with the treatment. This means that both the adult lice and their laid eggs are killed with the application rather than needing to wait for eggs to hatch. Parents also get the benefit of ingredients that are non-toxic and safe to reapply as needed, so there is no waiting period to fully end an infestation or quickly treat a re-infestation.

  • Combing Facilitators
    Combing is the original method of ending a lice infestation (evidence dates back even to the time of Cleopatra!). Some products in the lice treatment section serve to condition the hair for easier combing, supporting the manual removal of lice. These products can be recognized by language about “loosening the nit glue” or “eliminating lice and eggs.” For many parents, combing alone is a time-intensive, highly involved activity that may need to be repeated frequently to get complete removal, so they should be aware that these combing aids do not kill lice.

What Parents Should Know
The best way to identify a head lice infestation early is by doing regular head checks. If you find lice, check the rest of the family and alert playmates. With the range of treatments on the market, be sure to follow the directions carefully for the product you select as procedures vary based on the type of product.

About Vamousse Lice Treatment
At Vamousse, we know parents want to eliminate head lice quickly. That’s why we are proud to offer fast, effective products for parents to control lice and super lice with ingredients they can feel good about. Vamousse Lice Treatment kills both lice and eggs with the first application so kids and parents can get back to focusing on life – not the itchy effects of head lice.
