William McKissock’s Goal is to Help Business See Cost Savings with Schooley-Mitchell
By: Deborah Bostock-Kelley
In March, he shaved his head to raise funds for a childhood cancer charity. At the beginning of the pandemic, he researched and organized a mask donation to provide to those in need… because a friend asked for help. A family man with his wife, two teenage sons, and a dog, it’s in William McKissock’s DNA to assist
people both in his personal life and as a franchise owner with SchooleyMitchell. This transplant from Scotland has a message on a whiteboard in his office that poses the question, “who can I help today?” When William arrived in Florida with his wife in 2011 to start her new job, he wanted to try something

For many people, losing weight is at the top of their bucket list. For others, it is the only way to become, and feel healthy again. Many of us have tried yo-yo diets, or buy the expensive celebrity promoted trends, that pop up in social media and TV and radio commercial hype. The failed weight loss remains, and people continue to be discouraged. However, Medical Weight Loss, LLC

Going Out During Coronavirus? - Masks Protect You and Your Loved Ones We’re currently facing a dangerous resurgence of COVID-19, and some Floridians are still throwing large parties and completely disregarding CDC health guidelines for community-related exposure. Over 20 states in the country have paused reopening plans and eight states have sky-high record numbers of new cases, Florida in particular. There are approximately 206,440+ confirmed cases in Florida, according to the latest data obtained in early July 2020 from floridahealthcovid19.gov. At least 40,000 new cases have been reported by the Florida Department of Health following the Fourth of July holiday during which the state recorded its most cases reported in a single day. On Saturday, July 4th, 2020 the Sunshine State reported an outstanding 11,458 cases, the most reported in a single day. We’ve now surpassed New York’s previous single-day high of 11,434, which was recorded mid-April 2020. Between April 8 and May 15, states that mandated face masks in public saw a greater decline in daily COVID-19 numbers than states that did not. An estimated 230,000 - 450,000 infections were likely prevented because of these mandates. Even though is certainly possible to contract COVID-19 by touching a contaminated surface and then touching your face (mouth, nose, or eyes) it is now clear that this is not the primary way the coronavirus spreads. The virus primarily spreads through close contact with an infected individual via respiratory droplets that are emitted while coughing, sneezing, singing, laughing, talking, or simply just breathing. Wearing a face mask or face cover is one of the best ways for those infected individuals to keep those droplets contained, and for those who are healthy, a mask can also offer some protection from breathing them in. If you’re back at work or venturing public places on a regular basis, please take precautions. There is now more evidence than ever before that wearing a mask could be one
of the most important things you do to protect yourself and your loved ones from COVID-19. In general, the more time you spend outside interacting with others, and the longer that interaction, the higher the risk of contracting COVID-19 and spreading it. Watch For Symptoms People with COVID-19 have reported a wide range of symptoms — ranging from mild to severe. Symptoms may appear 2-14 days after exposure to the virus. According to the CDC, you may have COVID-19 if you have these symptoms or combinations of symptoms: • Cough • Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing Or at least two of these symptoms: • Fever • Chills • Repeated shaking with chills • Muscle pain • Headache • Sore throat • New loss of taste or smell Call before you go Call your doctor or your County Health Department if you think you have been exposed to COVID-19, have symptoms, and need to be tested. They will decide whether you need to be tested and tell you where to go. If you choose to engage in public activities, please keep these items on hand at all times: a fast mask / cloth cover, tissues, and hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol, if possible. Remember, we’re all in this together! Stay safe, until next time.

Tech Talk with Bob: Guess Who’s calling at Dinner? Just as you sit down to enjoy a delicious, hot, dinner, the phone rings. Before you can even utter the word hello, a computer is playing a recording of someone trying to sell you something. They may dangle items that would get the attention of most people, such as lower interest rates on credit cards, cheap health insurance, or perhaps a free vacation. Who can resist, right? You’ve just been robocalled. Now please understand that I am not saying that every offer to save you interest, get affordable health insurance, or even enjoy a free vacation, is a scam. However, one might question how legal, or at least ethical, using robocalls are to contact you. Even if a company’s offer is legit, using a robocall to contact you without your permission to do so --- it is my understanding --- is illegal, according to the United States Federal Trade Commission. First of all, I want to be clear
6 JULY 2020
about this. I am not a lawyer. If you need specific legal answers, please consult a legal professional. That being said, the way I understand it is that if you do not already have a business relationship with a company, they may not use robocalls to try to sell you something. If they do use a computer to initially dial the call to you, when you answer, they must connect you with a live person. That’s why, sometimes, you have to say hello two or three times before you actually hear a living person on the other end of the line. Sometimes the call gets dropped and all you hear may be a click or just plain silence. That is because when a company’s computer places the call to you, their representative is not actually connected to your call until you have successfully answered your phone. Are we having fun yet? Robocalls aren’t new. This technology has been around for decades, but people still get
ripped-off by robocalls every single day. So let’s start at the beginning. A robocall is any call you receive that when you answer you hear a recorded message rather than a living breathing person. Examples of legitimate use of a robocall to contact to you would be a reminder call for an upcoming medical appointment or perhaps a school closure due to inclement weather. Other forms of legal robocalls would be for charity fundraising and political calls
soliciting donations and your vote. So get ready for those calls with the upcoming election. I personally get a handful of robocalls every day. The United States Federal Trade Commission (FTC) maintains a database called the Do Not Call Registry. Anyone may add their phone number to this registry. Legitimate telemarketers use this registry and do not call people on it. If you have already registered with the FTC it usually takes about a month for your phone number to propagate out to law-abiding telemarketers so they are on notice not to call you. If you continue to receive robocalls after that, any telemarketer is sketchy as they are disregarding the do not call registry. Being on this registry does not guarantee that you will not continue to receive robocalls, but rest assured that the robocalls you receive are from companies that are not complying with FTC rules. So beware.

The only real defense you have against robocalls, short of yanking your phone out of the wall, is hanging up on them. Please do not press any numbers, even if you are prompted to press a number to be taken off of their calling list. Pressing any number just confirms to the caller that they have reached a viable phone number they can either continue to call and/or sell to other robocallers. The only reason robocalls exist is because they are profitable for the caller or they reduce an expense for a business. I am not saying that all robocall technology doesn’t have a legitimate productive use, but just like fire, it can be used for good or evil. Your best defense is getting on the registry and then when you receive a robocall from an organization that you do not already have a business relationship with, be on guard. I want to help you register quickly and safely. So from now until Labor Day, I will register your phone number with the FTC’s do not call registry for
FREE! You have no excuse to put it off. Pick up your phone and call me, right now, at 727534-4000 and we will get your phone number registered. There is absolutely no cost or obligation to you and it takes less than five minutes. I know how easy it is to procrastinate when it comes to things like this, so go ahead and call me and I will make this quick and painless for you. Then in a month or so afterward the calls should diminish and hopefully you’ll finally be able to get through a hot dinner in peace. Cyber criminals will exploit the easy victims and unprotected systems. Protecting yourself online is your responsibility, but you don’t have to do it all by yourself. We’re here to help. If you are not sure your system is safe, please have it looked over by a Professionally Certified IT Specialist. Call us now at 727534-4000. We’ve been helping folks restore their peace of mind, and sanity, with their technology for decades. Be Safer In Your Digital World!

Kelly Ayers for Hillsborough County Circuit Judge With 26 years of experience, Kelly Ayers seeks to be “The People’s Judge” in Hillsborough County
By Kelly Stuart Williams Kelly Ayers may be the most personable and enthusiastic judge candidate we have met. Her energy and sincere caring for people is contagious. Her clients say the same, “Kelly makes us feel like we are her family.” Her office at Ayers Overfield & Crowe runs like a family, “Everyone does everything in our offices. From my husband/law partner to our assistant, we all take out the trash.” As a Hillsborough County Circuit Court Judge candidate, Kelly’s vision is aligned with how she runs her practice: when we work together, everyone wins. Her nature is collaborative, and so is her law practice. Solving problems and finding resolutions is how Kelly conducts her business and her life. “We must be open to working together to try and resolve issues,” said Kelly who added, “It’s about following our moral compass and doing the right thing and deep down we all know what is right and what is wrong.” Kelly’s career spans 26 years of legal experience in private practice, including a few years spent at USF early in her career re writing the Florida Baker Act Statute. She handles cases in federal, appellate, circuit, and county courts, and she has extensive experience in county criminal, civil litigation, family law, and private dependency. “I am a people person. I want to take all of my litigation experience and be the people’s judge and serve the residents of Hillsborough County: the County where I was born and where my children were born and raised. As a third-generation Hillsborough County resident, I want to enter public service where I have lived and practiced law my entire life,” said Kelly. Ayers Overfield & Crowe has offices in Carrollwood and South Tampa, so they are easily accessible to a diverse group of clients. In fact, one of Kelly’s firms services exclusively the unique
8 JULY 2020
needs of our Hispanic community. “We have a Cuban born paralegal who specialize in helping us serve Hillsborough County’s Hispanic citizens.” Kelly would like to see the Hillsborough County Court as open and as accessible as her offices are. “I want to take the fear and intimidation out of going to Court. We need to treat our citizens as if they are customers. No one wants to sit around getting anxious about being in a courtroom.” She added, “I want to maintain a courtroom that is simple and makes people feel as comfortable as possible.” Whether in-person or virtually, Kelly is in the courtroom nearly every day, “My three firms - civil, family, and county criminal, have had me in court nearly every single day, usually several times a day, not only in Hillsborough County but all over the state of Florida. My experience as a litigator in the three core areas of the law - throughout the State of Florida, uniquely qualifies me to serve as a Hillsborough County Circuit Court Judge,” said Kelly. Kelly’s career has always been about helping people and giving a voice to those challenged to speak for themselves. She worked at the Louis de la Parte, Florida Mental Health Institute at USF, where she led a team of professionals in re-writing the Baker Act Statute (involuntary commitment law) in Florida to
protect people (including Florida’s elders) experiencing mental health issues. As the mother of three (3) young adult children, Kelly is aware of the needs of children and families throughout our diverse community. Her husband, Daniel Crowe, is a retired US Air Force First Sergeant and her law partner who specializes in Family Law. Both Kelly and Dan are excited about the opportunity to re-enter public service. In her “spare” time, Kelly mentors high school seniors across Hillsborough County, volunteers and supports the East Tampa Youth Basketball Association and St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Kelly would greatly appreciate your vote for Hillsborough Circuit Court Judge, Group 9. She can be reached at KellyAyersforJudge@ gmail.com. For more information; visit her website at www. KellyAyersforJudge.com. Election
day in Hillsborough County is August, 18, 2020, and mail-in ballots will be mailed on July 9, 2020. Early voting will also be available.

Great Clips at Carrollwood Fresh Market: Quality, Affordable Haircuts in a Safe, Sanitary Environment! Story by Morgan Fliss After being closed for eight weeks due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Great Clips at the Carrollwood Fresh Market is now back open with enhanced safety precautions to once again provide high quality, affordable haircuts for the entire family! Lea Orchard is the Salon Owner/Franchisee of this Great Clips. She became a franchisee in 2001 in order to build a family business to provide a strong future for herself and her family. Her original career was as a CPA with PriceWaterhouseCoopers. Lea was one of the original franchisees in this market, (Hillsborough, Pinellas, Pasco, Hernando, and Sarasota Counties). There were no Great Clips here at that time, now there are 85! Over the past 19 years, Lea has grown her business to a total of 12 stores. She also has as one that is currently under construction in FishHawk Ranch, and one that will open in 2021 on SR 52 in San Antonio in Pasco County. Her current stores are located in Carrollwood, Lutz, Citrus Park, Land O Lakes, Wesley Chapel, Riverview, Apollo Beach, Clearwater, Dunedin, and Tarpon Springs. Lea is hands-on with her business and makes frequent visits to each of her Great Clips locations. She also
10 JULY 2020
handles her own accounting and back office procedures. She gets much help from her General Manager, Hanri Cochran, and her son Sam Orchard, as well. Lea’s Great Clips salons offer $15 haircuts for adults and $13 haircuts for children and seniors. During this COVID-19 pandemic, the salon has continued its strong sanitation and cleaning procedures to ensure the safety of all customers and employees. Lea said, “All stylists and customers are required to wear masks and we have built barriers between each station for
extra protection. After every haircut, the entire area including the chair and tools are all deeply cleaned and sanitized. For each new haircut, every person is given a new, freshly washed cape.” Lea and the salons do everything they can to support the local community. Between sponsoring Little League, girls’ softball, USF Cuts for Cancer, or providing live theater tickets for the military, Lea and her staff are all about giving back to the community. Great Clips Salons have the convenient Online Checkin App that allows guests to check in on their cell phones
or laptops and add their name to a waiting list. This ensures a much shorter wait time when they arrive than those who did not check-in online. “About 40% of our customers use our Online Check-in App because it is so convenient and such a timesaver,” said Lea. Great Clips at Carrollwood Fresh Market is open seven days a week for the convenience of their customers. “We offer affordable, convenient, quality haircuts that fit the busy schedule of the whole family,” Lea said. Lea and her stylists are so happy to be open again. She

different. His career in Scotland was in economic development. He founded a floor cleaning company here in Florida, then discovered franchise consulting. Much like a realtor who assists clients in finding the perfect home, William, as a Franchise Consultant, helped clients find their dream franchise. Through this process of helping other people in the franchise world, he discovered Schooley-Mitchell. He was so impressed with their philanthropic franchise model, and that it complemented his expertise in economic development, he purchased

a franchise based Lutz in 2016. Envision having a single company that can save you in many aspects of your business. From your telecom –internet, television, and telephone, toSmall Package Shipping – envelopes up to 150 pounds, to Credit Card Processing, to Waste Management costs, and your digital e-Signature costs, one company can help your business reduce its costs in these different areas. William and his team of analysts at SchooleyMitchell headquarters will spend about six weeks analyzing your expenses, looking for savings. Besides reducing your overall costs, they also look for billing
errors with no out of pocket costs to you. They only get paid if you accept their recommendations that save you money. If you do not accept or they do not find you savings, there is absolutely no charge for their audit of your costs and services. With a business agreement in place, William and his team of analysts dig deep into your billing statements and contracts for the initial audit and continue to monitor your statements and vendors for you for 12 quarters. The initial analysis takes about six weeks. Acting on your behalf, they will contact and negotiate with your vendors, looking to agree on better pricing for equal or often improved
service, and also provide suggestions for alternatives. Throughout this entire process, you remain in control; it is your decision whether or not to accept William’s recommendations that are totally in your best interest and not that of your vendors. At the end of the research, William presents the data via a detailed report, typically in person, but most recently moved to ZOOM meetings to ensure safety during Covid-19. “Everything can be done virtually. Clients can come from all over North America and Canada. It doesn’t matter what type of business you operate because our services adapt to the needs of any industry. We know what
For Advertising Info 813-928-6124 I info@nnlflorida.com or visit tbnewsandlifestyles.com
everyone else is paying, as we have negotiated over 22,000 deals. We know what we’re doing, no matter what industry you are in,” said William. “If there is no savings or the client does not accept our recommendation, there is no charge for our time.” When you accept the recommendations, you are not charged until three months after your first quarter of savings. Billing is in twelve installments of 50% of the savings found. Quarterly post-audit reports are generated, which is William and his team’s way of keep on top of your costs and services. Even William has been
pleasantly surprised by some of the savings he’s discovered. A client who he expected to reduce costs of over $48,000 annually actually saved $43,000 in their first quarter. Another is expected to save $100,000 in 2020. “Schooley-Mitchell is the perfect fit for me because I genuinely like to help people. If I can do something to make a difference, I’ll do it. It’s who I am in my personal life and my profession.” To learn more or to arrange a no-outof-pocket consult with William, please visit schooleymitchell.com/ wmckissock.

Resources for Coronavirus-Impacted Workers and Small Businesses By Tom Bostock A recent report in the Miami Herald noted that Florida health officials had confirmed “at least 170 Covid-19 patients reporting symptoms between December 31, 2019, and February 29.” Today, Florida is the veritable epicenter for the second wave of this virulent threat. What began as two isolated cases, one in Hillsborough County and the other in Manatee, has burgeoned into a growing number of confirmed cases and virus-related deaths. Besides the devastating medical impact on Florida’s residents, the economic impact of Covid-19 is just as great, if not more so.
16 JULY 2020
The unavoidable closure of many of Florida’s small business communities, entertainment, and tourist attractions, the backbone of the state’s economy, because of recently enacted emergency Covid-19 related restrictions, leaves many residents unable to make a living for their families. Fortunately, local, city, county, state, and Federal
agencies have stepped into the breech, offering a variety of resources for our effected residents. Emmy Award-winning journalist, Amy Viteri of Local 10 News reported that there is hope for small businesses suffering from clientele losses. “In response, the U.S. Small Business Administration is offering low-interest loans to those businesses and
entities now running thin on cash.” The program she refers to, the Economic Injury Disaster Fund program, provides up to $2 million in loss, subsidy loans. Amy’s report noted that your local Small Business Administration administers the program. Visit sba.gov/funding-programs/ disaster-assistance for further information. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis recently announced that he had activated Florida’s Business Damage Assessment for businesses, believing that they are being economically impacted by Covid-19. The purpose of the analysis is to assess the impact of the coronavirus and determine the scale of the need. Visit floridadisaster.biz
For Advertising Info 813-928-6124 I info@nnlflorida.com or visit tbnewsandlifestyles.com
to take part. At a recent press conference, DeSantis noted, “We recognize the consequences of coronavirus on the economy and especially on small business.” He added that “the objective is that they (small business) can count on a source of funds to maintain their ability to function.” Individuals who have lost their jobs because of the coronavirus can apply for Reemployment Assistance benefits (unemployment compensation). The paper forms are available in English, Spanish and Haitian-Creole. To make the process more convenient for Florida’s unemployed, Governor DeSantis waived work search requirements, online work registration and waiting week provisions for Reemployment Assistance applications.
A provision of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Acts of 2020, the Pandemic Unemployment Assistance program, (PUA) extends payment benefits, not only to hourly and salaried employees, but individuals previously excluded from regular unemployment compensation benefits. This includes independent contractors, self-employed workers, and gig workers. To qualify for this 39-week benefit, individuals must: be able to work and available to work “within the meaning of applicable state laws except that they are unemployed, partially unemployed or unable to work due to Covid-19 related reasons as defined in the CARES Act.” The act specifies that benefits under PUA are retroactive to January 27,
2020 and do not pay any weeks of unemployment, after December 31, 2020. If you are a homeowner, it provides an option for homeowners who are having difficulty making their monthly mortgage payments. They can apply for an initial temporary postponement of the mortgage payments for 180 days, with an additional allowance of 180 more days, for a maximum of 360 days. It is a repayment relief that a creditor can grant a homeowner instead of forcing the property into foreclosure. Many credit card businesses and personal loan providers offer special options for their customer. Call them directly if you are having problems with your payments because of coronavirus-related issues. Utility companies are also offering alternatives for coronavirus-impacted customers. Local city and county governments have implemented programs to assist people who have lost their jobs or have reduced wages because of the coronavirus and need help in paying their bills. In Hillsborough County that organization is the Rapid Response Assistance Call Center, open 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Monday through Friday. 813 274 6710. The Pinellas Opportunity Council Inc. is a non-profit Community Action Agency helps individuals and families in St. Petersburg and Clearwater “become selfsufficient and get short-term assistance for paying bills.” 727 823 4101. The Pasco County Human Services is another of the resources for coronavirusrelated unemployed and underemployed worker assistance. 727 834 3297. These are just a few of the many resources available locally. Contact your local government information center for many more. If there are needs, there will always be programs available to meet them. You just need to ask. Florida is a resilient state. We have dealt with devastating disasters like tropical storms and hurricanes and always come back strong. The coronavirus is one more challenge that we Floridians will overcome. Be sure to follow the simple, commonsense rules of washing your hands frequently, maintaining social distance and wearing a protective mask when necessary, and this too shall pass.

of looking good, but, is a medical program of improving your life and reducing your health risks. Feeling better, is also a great byproduct of slimming down. Medical Weight Loss, LLC (269- SLIM) is headed by Dr. Gail Jachimek. The main clinic is located at 5111 Ehrlich Road. Their other weight loss clinics are in Wesley Chapel, FL., Lake Geneva and Waukesha, Wisconsin. Their prices have not increased since they began the medical weight loss practice. Dr. Jachimek and her husband are both Chiropractic physicians, and have those clinics in Carrollwood and Spring Hill. So, they also treat patients that are in pain from accident injuries, or just have unwanted neck or back pain! Their medical weight loss program combines pharmaceutical appetite suppressant medication, fat burning injections and pills, and a clinically proven diet with medical doctor and nursing support and counseling to help their patients reach their “target” weight goals. This physician supervised program helps those who have before tried and failed to lose unwanted pounds. Dr. Gail says, “We opened the clinic because I was entering menopause and gaining weight. When I asked my primary physician, as well as my doctor friends, for help, I got extremely rude responses. I was told to “push away from the table”. Dr. Gail does not want her patients to go through the same degrading experience. Determined to learn more, Dr. Jachimek joined the ASBP

(American Society of Bariatric Physicians) and went to their symposiums for further education and tools. She discovered that there are many contributing factors to weight gain - not just your diet. Some of the major contributing factors included hormonal imbalances, thyroid issues, environmental toxins, autoimmune disease, type 2 diabetes, etc. It was then that she opened the main clinic in Tampa to help people dealing with the same frustrating weight gain frustration she had faced. They have since opened 3 more clinics in Florida and Wisconsin to help people with these problems. “At Medical Weight Loss, LLC, we have medical doctors, as well as nurse practitioners, that have been treating our patients successfully for years, so that the root cause of these problems can be addressed. Our registered nurses and supportive staff are there for you to help you every step of the way.”

Kate – Before / After Medical weight loss plans are not new, and many are similar, but other programs usually involve significant upcharges and hidden fees. Dr. Jachimek’s 269-SLIM program is different. Her program is focused on the long-term results, meaning, not only will the process safely take off your weight during the active phase of the program, but also prevent the pounds from returning during the “maintenance phase”...(which is free)! This is no diet trend – This
is looking at your medical history, evaluating your EKG, bloodwork and lifestyle. Then, their doctors propose a plan for you, and prescribe appropriate pharmaceutical appetite suppressant medication, fat burning injections, vitamin therapy and fat burning supplements. “The program is simple, inexpensive and easy to follow. We give you a large list of foods to buy/choose from,” says Dr. Jachimek. “The program is easy, because it is food bought in the grocery store, (no special foods to order) just regular meats, fruits and vegetables on our list. This factor also makes it more affordable, because you don’t have to buy special foods, or cook separate dinners if you have a family.” Under the supervision of their medical doctors, patients can drop 20 to 30 pounds in the first month. Dr. Jachimek said that it is common to see 5-10 pounds dropped in the first week. “We have had patients
that have lost 17 pounds in their first week, as well as patients that have lost over a hundred pounds on our program”, says Dr. Jachimek. Accountability is also a major part of the program. Keeping the patients safe and on track, their nurses evaluate, and treat patients weekly to provide support and give suggestions on how to reach and maintain their target weight. Dr. Jachimek stresses that there are no price surprises at Medical Weight Loss, 269-SLIM. The initial visit is $195 and weekly visits are just $55. That’s it! This is what you have been waiting for! An inexpensive, easy and successful way to lose the unwanted pounds that have made you miserable for years. As their slogans For Advertising Info 813-928-6124 I info@nnlflorida.com or visit tbnewsandlifestyles.com
say, “With 269- SLIM (MEDICALWEIGHTLOSSLLC. COM) -Weigh less for WAY less”…or “When you’re done fooling around, call us!”.
