"Extreme Makeover Home Edition"
| Suffield | ||||
| "Extreme Makeover Home Edition" Community Fund To Be Extended Through September | ||||
| Biz Buzz | ||||
| Submitted by Laura Soll on 2009-07-01. | ||||
Pecoy Signature Homes was chosen to build the home in the span of just one week. Rockville Bank joined the massive effort, and invited the public to help change the lives of a deserving family by making a donation to the project. Thousands of area subcontractors and vendors donated services and materials as part of the week-long build, and hundreds of volunteers supported their efforts in a variety of ways. "When we joined Pecoy Signature Homes as a major sponsor, we helped to establish a special fund so people could get involved in a local, meaningful way," explains William J. McGurk, President and CEO of Rockville Bank. "Community support continues to be needed to help pay for materials having to do with the build and the family's needs after they move into their new home," McGurk says. Organizers hope that enough money will be raised to pay off the build and to help the Hill family pay off their $160,000 mortgage. To make a contribution, people can go to any Rockville Bank branch or visit www.extremepecoy.com and donate whatever amount they wish to the Extreme Makeover Project 701 Fund. During the Suffield "build," Rockville Bank employees -- including McGurk himself -- rolled up their sleeves and participated by preparing and serving food to contractors, volunteers and sponsors. The bank also contributed funds to the project and donated marketing and public relations services to the cause. And when Bank managers got a call one muggy night that the site had run out of bottled water for workers, its staff ran out and purchased more than four pallets' worth -- 8,460 bottles of water -- and then drove their donation to the site. On June 21, "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" team leader Ty Pennington knocked on the door of Hill family at 783 Mather St. in Suffield. The 13 Hill family members -- William and Catherine and their sons, daughters, nieces and nephews -- are known to local admirers as the "family choir." The 106-hour home build concluded this past Sunday, June 28 when the show's cast "revealed" the new home to the Hill family as Pennington recited the show's signature phrase, "Move that bus!" The Emmy award-winning reality program "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition," now entering its seventh season, is produced by Endemol USA, a division of Endemol Holding. The show airs Sundays from 8-9 p.m. ET on ABC. For more information about Rockville Bank's Extreme Makeover Project 701 Fund, call 860-291-3600 or visit www.extremepecoy.com. |

Vernon —
Cash For Clunkers extension benefits local dealerships
With money quickly running out on the $1 billion CARS (Cars Allowance Rebate System), a.k.a. "Cash For Clunkers," the House voted to extend the program on Friday, July 31. On Thursday, Aug. 6, the Senate followed suit, adding an additional $2 billion to Cash For Clunkers, reprogrammed from ARRA funds.
Click the thumbnails above to see the full size pictures.
On Aug. 5, prior to the Senate's vote, Congressman Joe Courtney met at Scranton Motors, located at 777 Talcottville Road in Vernon, to urge the Senate to pass the extension.
"Secretary LaHood from the Department of Transportation has made it very clear that if they do not act, they will have to shut down the program Friday [Aug. 7]," said Courtney.
This possibility has been averted. Which is good news for local dealerships , including Scranton Motors.
The Cash For Clunkers has not only helped out buyers, but the car dealership as well. According to siblings Meghan and Matt Scranton, comptroller and new car manager at Scranton Motors, respectively, the dealership has had to hire in all their departments to accommodate the increased business.
"We've created 12 jobs in the last 90 days," said Matt Scranton.
"It's not some bonus for a guy on Wall Street," said Jim Fleming, president of the Connecticut Automobile Retailers Association. "It's helping the average guy out in Connecticut."
Matt commented that the boost in the auto industry has created jobs around the area. They outsource work to a body shop that has been struggling, and the increase has forced them to make new hires, as well. "We've got a lot of sublet companies that we work with that are feeling the same thing right now."
"It's not just the car industry... it's so many other areas," said Meghan. She said Scranton's healthcare provider and insurance company in turn have seen the benefits.
Concerned about the perception that "Big Three," (Ford, GM and Chrysler) cars are not fuel efficient, Matt said, "You have an absolutely great option, with a better warranty, when you go with American. And there's plenty of options that qualify."
He told a story about a woman who owned a car for 15 years. Every morning , she would pour a quart of oil and brake fluid into the car, just so it would work well enough to get from point A to B. When Matt came to her house to help her bring it in to Scranton Motors, he saw a shiny pool in her driveway.
After trading in her clunker, she got a brand new Pontiac G6. The woman left "ecstatic."
"Her husband doesn't have to go out in the morning to start the car for her anymore," said Matt with a laugh. "So they're going to have a better relationship because that car is off the road."
