Mayor's Message
S
everal weeks ago, I had the pleasure of joining representatives
from The LJ Companies – LJ
Crane & Rigging, LJ Heavy Hauling,
and LJ Specialized Logistics – for a tour
of their Jefferson Boulevard facility.
Billed as a rising leader in the crane
industry in the United States, LJ’s services include crane rental and crane
service (with or without operators),
specialized logistics, warehousing,
heavy hauling and North American
transportation services, as well as rigging, millwrighting, industrial plant
deconstruction and selective tailored
demolition.
Pat and Stacey Izzo began the company ten years ago, headquartered in
the basement of their Cranston, R.I.
home. Still family owned and operated, their emphasis remains flexible,
personalized, around-the clock attention tailored to each customer’s needs.
In 2008 LJ marked its third consecutive
time as an Inc. 500 listed company and
saw annual sales revenues surpass the
$25 million mark, nearly six times its
sales volume of just four years ago. LJ
is consistently ranked in Providence
Business News’ annual Book of Lists
as one of the fastest growing Rhode Island companies as well.
Last year, Pat Izzo and Paul Fioravanti, Vice President & COO, were in
the process of developing the company’s future location, a portion of a 54acre site in Smithfield, Rhode Island
when Paul learned of the availability
of the former Penske Logistics site in
Warwick, from commercial real estate
broker Larry Steingold. Larry was a
bit skeptical about the suitability of the
site for LJ’s operations, knowing that
the company was planning to relocate
to Smithfield. After seeing the facility,
Izzo and Fioravanti had a vision for
what it could be transformed into, with
less time and aggravation than building from scratch. After extensive renovation, LJ consolidated and centralized
its operations to the 3.5-acre parcel at
522 Jefferson Boulevard in July of 2008.
Located in the Warwick Train Station
District, the site is a block away from
T.F. Green Airport and the under-construction Warwick Intermodal Station,
and just minutes from Interstates 95
and 295.
A 14,500 square-foot, block and steel
building sits in the center of the property and underwent extensive renovations last summer, with new walls,
ceilings, lighting, carpeting, plumbing and bathrooms, HVAC systems
and controls, landscaping, and full
paint, cabinetry, woodwork, trim and
tile/granite counters and floors. New
executive offices, a conference room
and administrative, sales and general
support offices and a fully remodeled
kitchen/cafeteria are housed in one
section of the facility.
Other areas of the building include
a new parts storage area and storage

pit – all of which were as pristine and
gleaming as the vehicles outside on
the concrete parking area surrounding the building. The facility has
also been fully rewired for electrical,
CAT6 data cable, security surveillance and has energy efficient lighting installed.
The property, and the City of
Warwick, say Izzo and Fioravanti,
are “the perfect fit” for their company. According to Fioravanti, “Warwick is extremely business savvy
– we had very positive and professional interaction with a range of
departments, from economic development to the building and zoning/planning areas, public safety, and other
regulatory areas from which we received clear and professional guidance
through the licensing and compliance
processes. Additionally, we were very
impressed with Mayor Avedisian’s desire to learn about our business firsthand and to assist us with some of the
issues involved with relocation to the
City. We are pleased to be here and
look forward to being a good neighbor
and thriving enterprise.”

State unveils new campaign
to boost sales of local crops
GET FRESH. BUY LOCAL is a new initiative designed to provide Rhode
Islanders with a steady stream of news, tips, information and features about the
state’s farmers, farmers markets, farm stands and restaurants throughout the
Ocean State. It will highlight the availability, quality, diversity and importance of
supporting RI-grown crops.
The GET FRESH. BUY LOCAL logo will soon be visible at places like roadside
stands, farmers markets and select grocers in the form of stickers, buttons and
bumper stickers. The campaign will feature I GOT FRESH items such as t-shirts
and reusable grocery bags. A new Web site — getfreshbuylocal.org — has also
been created.
The total number of farms in Rhode Island has grown by 42 percent since
2002, according to a 2007 U.S. Department of Agriculture report (Growth nationwide was just four percent). The state’s crop sales have increased by 18 percent
during that time, and its farmers markets have increased from four to nearly 40
during the past 15 years. The number of women farmers in the state is now more
than double the national average.

Time to sell...
or time to buy?
By ANTHONY LIZZI
We’re in a recession, which could be severe. Several financial services companies have
either collapsed or been bailed out by the government. And the stock market is down about
45 percent since hitting its peak in October of 2007. Is this a “perfect storm” that should
blow investors out of the market — or is it actually an opportunity for investors to jump
back in?
If you’re an investor, your first impulse might be to join the “get out while you can”
camp. After all, it’s no fun seeing the market plunge hundreds of points one day, and then
hundreds more the next day. And we keep getting hit by waves of bad economic news.
What possible reason could there be for remaining invested in the market, or even adding
more dollars to your current investments?
Actually, you might be surprised. Some strong historical evidence suggests that during a
period such as we are now in, you may indeed benefit by not only staying invested, but also
by increasing your investment dollars in the financial markets. Consider this: In nine of the
last 10 recessions dating back to 1949, the S&P 500 had moved up by at least 29 percent just
12 months after hitting its lowest point during the recession. Of course, as you’ve no doubt
heard, past performance is no guarantee of future results, but it’s interesting to note that the
market eventually recovered after each recession.
However, no one can really predict when stocks will reach that low point. It’s possible
we’ve already hit it, but it’s just as likely that we’ll see further drops.
And yet, even if you can’t say that we’ve hit a market low, should you sell your stocks
to cut your losses and use the proceeds to buy what you perceive as less risky investments?
Before making this move, you need to consider some important facts. For example, if you
pulled out of the stock market and purchased certificates of deposit (CDs) from a strong
financial institution, you could reasonably expect that your principal will be safe and that
you will receive the interest payments promised to you. But the interest rate you receive
may not even keep up with inflation so, over time, your investment could end up costing
you purchasing power.
On the other hand, if you were to remain invested in the stock market, and if it does
follow historical patterns, you do have a chance of making up your losses. Will there be
continued volatility in day-to-day price movements? Almost certainly. But keep in mind
that over the long term, a portfolio that contains a reasonable amount of stocks, along with
bonds, government securities and other investments, gives you the best chance of achieving
your financial goals.
Here’s another reason to keep investing: As measured by the price-to-earnings ratio
(P/E), stocks are currently inexpensive. If you buy more shares when prices are down, your
increased ownership stake should become more valuable when stocks recover — as they
have done following every bear market in the past.
It’s tough to stay positive during a gloomy market environment. But the most successful
investors are often the ones who have the courage to be optimistic when everyone around
them is not.

Q
A:
WITH
PETER GEORGE
I’m a self-employed professional and want to attract more clients,
make more profits and have more time to enjoy life. What should I do?
First, do you hear yourself in any of the following statements?
•
•
•
•
•
•
•

•
•
Q
A:
Q& A
It’s taking longer to grow my business than I expected
With all my effort and stress, I feel like my profits are still too low.
I need to attract more clients now!
I don’t understand why I can’t get the number of customers I need
I’m always searching for cost-effective ways to promote my business
I need more prospects in my pipeline
I’m working too many hours and missing out on other things in my life
My marketing efforts leave me feeling frustrated, discouraged and confused
I need advice that helps me build my business
I have a nagging feeling that I should do something about my business,
but I’m too busy working in my business to work on my business
Yes, but what can I do?
You need to decide if you are you tired of trying to do it on you own and failing.
I can’t tell you how many self-employed professionals I’ve spoken with who tell me that they can’t get enough clients, aren’t making
enough money or are working too many hours. It disturbs me when I hear this because it doesn’t have to be this way.
Stop wasting time, money and effort
There’s no reason for you to spend so much time and effort chasing prospects, hoping to land a client — or charging less than you’re
worth —or working more hours than you had ever imagined. You can put an end to this...if you want to.
You can start attracting profitable clients, making more money and have more time to enjoy life. There are a number of ways you can
grow your business in results-producing steps. Let’s talk a little about how you can eliminate the guesswork, lost time and wasted money.
You can learn to attract more clients by using easy-to-understand and implement strategies — strategies that you can and will consistently put into action.
You will have profitable clients coming to you.
Chasing clients is ineffective, costly and downright disheartening. But that’s exactly what most self-employed professionals do. I’m
certain that this is not why you went into business. How much more would you enjoy your business if you could stop chasing prospects?
If profitable clients came to you?
What’s the first thing self-employed professionals do when business is slow? Quite often, they cut their prices. Have you done this?
Have you thought about it? For that matter, are your fees as high as they should be? Are you getting paid what you’re worth and earning
the kind of income you really want?
If you focus on the steps you’re taking and look at the results you’re getting, you can turn things around.
Do you:
• Have a workable client attraction plan that you can and will consistently implement?
• Attract more profitable clients?
• Increase your revenue and profits?
• Receive more and better referrals?
• Acknowledge that you are the expert people want to do business with?
• Increase your positive word-of-mouth advertising?
• Target your profitable audience?
• Eliminate unprofitable marketing?
• Establish realistic objectives?
• Actually enjoy your business?
Remember you have options, and you can and will follow through —
this will offer you the greatest opportunity for success. Take time to review each
of these processes and determine which best suits you, your goals and yes, even your dreams.
Peter George can be reached at (401) 742-1231.

HEALTH & WELLNESS
Is your medicine in a safe place?
If you’re like most people, you probably keep your medicine in the most logical of places — your bathroom’s medicine cabinet. It makes perfect sense, right? Wrong. This popular spot is actually one of the worst places for storing your
household remedies.
Most medications, especially tablets and capsules, don’t like moisture and heat. As your bathroom gets warm and
moist each time you shower, it can accelerate a drug’s decomposition and affect its potency, which may be harmful to
you or your family members. In some cases, an improperly stored medication can actually become toxic.
If you have small children, you should especially reconsider the medicine cabinet as a safe place to store medicine.
Although it’s usually out of reach, children could climb up on the sink or counter to gain access to the medicine cabinet
TIPS FOR PROPER MEDICINE STORAGE
GETTING RID OF YOUR MEDICINE SAFELY
It’s always a good idea to ask your pharmacist
about any specific storage instructions. Here are some
additional tips to help you keep your family’s medications safe, effective and out of harm’s way:
• Store medicine tightly closed in its original container
in a cool, dry place
• Always store medicine out of reach of children
• Remove the cotton plug from the medicine bottle, as
it can draw moisture into the container
• Check the expiration date each time you take a medication. Properly discard and replace any drugs that
are out of date. You may want to get in the habit of
checking dates twice per year at the same time that
you make daylight savings time changes
• Never use a medication that has changed color, consistency or odor, regardless of the expiration date
• If someone in your family accidentally takes the
wrong medicine or overdoses, immediately call the
Poison Control Center at 1-800-222-1222 for instructions. Keep this number near your telephone for
easy reference
Whether your medication has expired or you just
don’t need it anymore, it’s important to dispose of it
properly. When medications — prescription or overthe-counter — are thrown into the garbage or flushed
down the toilet or sink, their chemical components
may be deposited into the water supply or soil, which
poses a hazard to the environment — and to us.
WHAT CAN YOU DO TO SAFELY
DISPOSE OF UNUSED MEDICATIONS?
• Check to see if your pharmacy has a drug recycling
program that disposes of unused or expired drugs
in an environmentally-safe way
• If you must throw medicine away in your household
garbage, it’s wise to crush any unused tablets so no
one else can take them accidentally
• Do not give empty medicine containers to children.
Even if the containers are empty and clean, children
should not learn to associate medicine with play
Making sure your medications are in a safe
place, whether in storage or when you’re disposing of them, can help avoid accidents and keep
your family safe.

USCIS issues new rule on employment eligibility verification documents
USCIS has issued an update and FAQ reminding
customers that the revised Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification (Rev. 02/02/09) is now in effect as
of April 3, 2009, for all U.S. employers.
All employers, agricultural recruiters and referrers
for a fee are required to verify the identity and employment authorization of each person they hire for
employment in the United States. USCIS has revised
Form I-9 to bring it into compliance with the governing
statutes that require all documents presented during
the Form I-9 process to be unexpired.
The Form I-9 was revised based upon an interim
final rule, published Dec.17, 2008, in the Federal Register, which revised the list of documents acceptable
for the Form I-9 process. The revised list specifies that
expired documents are no longer acceptable forms of
identification or employment authorization. Previous
versions of the Form I-9 may no longer be used.
The revised list improves the security and effectiveness of the Form I-9 process. Allowing for expired documents makes it more difficult for employers to verify
an employee’s identity and employment authorization,
and compromises the Form I-9 process.
The biggest difference in the revised Form I-9 is that
all documents presented during the Form I-9 process
must be unexpired. The list of approved documents
that employees can present to verify their identity and
employment authorization is divided into three sections: List A documents verify identity and employment authorization, List B documents verify identity
only and List C documents verify employment authorization only. The following documents have been added
or removed from the List of Approved Documents:
Two documents have been added to List A:
• A temporary I-551 printed notation on a machinereadable immigrant visa in addition to the foreign
passport with a temporary I-551 stamp
• A passport from the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM) or the Republic of the Marshall Islands
(RMI) with a valid Form I-94 or Form I-94A indicating nonimmigrant admission under the Compact
of Free Association Between the United States and
the FSM or RMI
Three documents were removed from List A:
• Form I-688, Temporary Resident Card
• Form I-688A, Employment Authorization Card
• Form I-688B, Employment Authorization Card
USCIS wants to ensure that documents presented for use in the Form I-9 process are valid and
reliably establish both identity and employment
authorization status. Expired documents may not
demonstrate a valid status and are prone to tampering and fraudulent use. This change takes into
account the limits placed on these documents by
their issuing authorities. If a document does not
contain an expiration date, such as a Social Security card, it is considered unexpired.
USCIS also updated the Handbook for Employers – Instructions for Completing Form I-9 to reflect
the requirements of the revised Form I-9.
For more information on USCIS and its programs, or to obtain the revised Form I-9 and handbook, visit www.uscis.gov. Employers who do not
have computer access can order Forms I-9 by calling 1-800-870-3676.
USCIS forms and information on immigration
laws, regulations and procedures can also be requested by calling the National Customer Service
Center at 1-800-375-5283.

MEET THE HOST
ETM Green
ETM Green is an electronics equipment
(ewaste) collection and processing facility
located in Cranston, RI. The company provides ewaste recycling for both large and
small companies and individuals. We work
with organizations, towns, municipalities,
and other groups to sponsor public reclamation of electronic waste in an effort to make
recycling convenient.
ETM Green believes in responsible recycling by offering secure data destruction
(shredding) services on-site. All ewaste is
processed and de-manufactured at our 16,000
sq. ft. facility - with zero waste export. Rest
assured, your retired electronics will not end
up polluting a landfill or third-world country. Recycling with ETM Green provides the
following benefits: As individuals - protection from identity theft; For the corporation
- protection against corporate liability and
data loss; Environmental compliance - zero
landfill and no waste export.
At ETM, we operate as a GREEN company for the benefit of our clients and the general public. We utilize processes designed to
dissipate liabilities away from the corporation and individuals whether it be environment or data risks. In doing so, everyone
wins: Companies can retire equipment without liabilities; employees can participate in
a program by bringing their ewaste to work
on scheduled ETM Green pick up dates; and
the environment wins because virtually all
of the materials can be processed correctly
for reuse. ETM Green utilizes a method of
process controls allowing for the reduction
of liability and the recycling of materials for
reuse.
It is important to understand the recycling
methods of a recycling service to ensure that
proper data security policies are in place and
that the responsibility for recycling has not
been passed on to someone who will dump
the electronics. Developing countries are not
prepared to separate and handle materials
safely, and ewaste sent to less developed
countries will not be recycled responsibly.
The risks and liabilities of not partnering
with a responsible recycler are great so why
not partner with ETM Green, the “Take No
Chances” recycler.
Simple Solutions to Complex Problems,
do not take chances when a 100% guarantee
against data loss or identity theft and environment liabilities can be eliminated.

HEALTH & WELLNESS
GARDENING TIPS:
Preventing back injury
After what seems to be the longest winter in years, the promise of spring and summer is finally upon us! Our thoughts are drifting toward colorful flowers and fresh
vegetables from our gardens. Some of us can hardly wait to smell the earth and sift
the cool spring soil through our fingers. Let’s take a moment to review some precautions for a safe, enjoyable gardening season:
• When lifting heavy objects, like soil or shrubs, it is important to bend your legs.
• Bend at your knees and keep your back straight. Let your legs do most of the work
— not your back.
• Use a wheelbarrow to move larger objects.
• Don’t sit on your feet. Try not to stay in one position for too long. Take breaks and
stretch your neck and shoulders. Use long-handled tools to help keep you from bending while raking, digging or mowing.
• Don’t overdo it! Try not to do everything in one day. Spread the planting, pruning and
fertilizing over a period of time. This gives you the opportunity to enjoy extra time in
the fresh spring air, as well as care for your body.

Everest Base Camp Trek with Dr. Tim
Join Dr. Tim, Rhode Island’s first Everest summiter, on the trip of a lifetime as he
leads a small group to Everest Base Camp from April 15 to about May 6, 2010. This
is one of the world’s most famous hikes. He will be going slowly to acclimatize
trekkers, about 4 hours per day with rest and acclimatization days thrown in. The
land cost is $3,300. Call Dr. Tim at 401-374-5067 or e-mail drtim@warrenchiropractic.com for more information.
This is not “climbing.” It is hiking and we will carry only 20 lbs. or so with
porters and yaks carrying the rest. We will be staying with the fascinating Sherpa
people in tea houses along the way. The deadline for deposit (non-refundable) of
$1,000 is due June 1, 2009.

TIPS FOR SAFE TREE TRIMMING
• Overhead power lines are not insulated, and carry enough energy to cause serious injury or even death. Regard all wires as live
• Keep yourself, your co-workers, friends, family and vehicles at least 10 feet away
from residential electric lines and equipment
• Stay alert. Keep ladders at least 10 feet away from power lines when carrying,
moving and raising them
•
Keep away from wires when working with tools, pipe, lumber or siding — all of
which can conduct electricity
• Make sure the area is clear of wires before working near trees or shrubs
• Never attach or tie anything to power lines or electrical equipment. To further
ensure your safety, consider all lines “energized” and put an effective ground on
all equipment working near overhead electric lines.

SLOCUM
has come up with a winning combination
where family is the key.
“A lot of businesses have problems with
that, but it’s worked very well for us,”
Phil said. So has being a part of the community they serve.
Bob served on the School Improvement
Team for Pilgrim and has served in multiple capacities for Warwick West Side
Little League. Phil has spent his fair share
of time coaching as well, in addition to
being involved in the Central Rhode Island Chamber of Commerce, the Warwick
Rotary Club, Cornerstone Adult Services
and volunteering his time for the City of
Warwick.
“Being local guys, we’re dealing with
friends and neighbors,” Bob said.
“We enjoy a good life and it’s because of
the community around us,” Phil added.
“We send the message back to the community – hey, thanks.”
The Slocum brothers would like to
think that’s not the only way they’ve said
thanks to their more than 3,000 insurance
customers and their many other customers who, despite the economy, have continued to choose Slocum for their insurance and real estate needs.
“People can buy their insurance anywhere but they come here because hopefully we’re able to show them they’re
more than just a number — they matter,”
Phil said, listing cost control as one of the
major challenges. “The other big challenge
for small businesses is competing with the
giants who sell nothing but price.”
They manage to hold their own though,
and they’ve got resumes to prove it. Phil
is a Certified Insurance Counselor, as is
Bob, who is also a Chartered Property Casualty Underwriter. Both graduated from
the Aetna Home Office Training School
and both continue to show a dedication to
education, even after securing these designations.
Phil has just been awarded the Al An-
Page 11
drews Community Achievement
Award. He has also received the
Sam Walton Business Leader of the
Year Award, the Paul Harris Fellow
Award from Rotary International
and the Small Businessperson of
the Year from the Central Rhode
Island Chamber of Commerce. Bob
was named Chairman of the Year by
the Professional Insurance Agents
of New England and was awarded
the renowned Carlton J. Fischer Outstanding Agent Award by the Independent Insurance Agents of Rhode
Island — the highest honor in the
IIARI organization.
Much of their success, they say, is
thanks to their staff at the Slocum
Agency.
“The people we have on board
are the absolute best in the industry.
You’re only as good as your weakest
link and our weakest link is strong,”
Bob said, adding that he would put
his team up against anyone in the
industry.
As they celebrate 60 years of business, they also recently added some
new members to that team when the
Slocum Agency ushered a third generation of their family into the ranks
— bringing on Phil’s son, Nick, and
Bob’s son, Chris.
“They understand what the customer is going to want,” Bob said.
He believes this next generation carries a vision for the future of Slocum
Agency, equating their contribution
to staying ahead in a game of hockey. “They’re going to help us figure
out where the puck is going to be.”
Together, the Slocum family has
a track record of doing just that for
their clients and look forward to the
next 60 years with dedication, excitement and enthusiasm.
