ALBANY, Ga., Dec. 14, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Pretoria Fields Collective, a farmhouse brewery and CBD therapeutic manufacturer, announced today the completion of their hemp crop harvest in Georgia which coincides with the company’s third anniversary. The celebration marks the first time hemp has been commercially harvested in Georgia in the modern era.

“Hemp has had a monumental influence historically in America, dating back to one of the earliest commercial crops in the new world,” said Albert Etheridge, Co-Founder and COO, Pretoria Fields Collective. “Once a staple for making paper and fabric, the crop has found new life in relieving pain and a key component to personal care products.”

As part of the first hemp harvest and third company anniversary, Pretoria Fields will celebrate at their Albany, GA brewery with special beer releases and a live band on December 19^th.

“Given the difficult year we’ve all had, we thought it was time to celebrate the Holidays and share with our patrons some good news and a great time with one another,” said Etheridge. “In addition to the hemp harvest, we are celebrating three years of success with our award winning craft brewery and most recently a hard seltzer line. We can’t wait to add Georgia grown hemp to our CBD offerings.”

Backed by five generations of farmers, Pretoria Fields is focused on crafting a portfolio of products from high quality, Georgia grown ingredients and raising awareness for the importance of sustainable agriculture.

“Pretoria Fields is a great Georgia Grown company,” said Georgia Agriculture Commissioner Gary W. Black. “We congratulate the entire team for a successful three years and look forward to their continued growth.”

Industrial hemp was approved for cultivation through the Georgia Hemp Farming Act signed into law by Governor Brian Kemp on May 10, 2019. According to the rules, industrial hemp is derived from Cannabis sativa L with a concentration of not more than 0.3 percent THC on a dry weight basis.

About Pretoria Fields Collective

Pretoria Fields Collective was founded more than 5 years ago by Dr. Tripp Morgan, a former pharmacist turned vascular surgeon who founded the Albany Vascular Specialist Center. Morgan turned a craft brewing hobby that started in his garage into a complete brewery and tasting room in Albany, GA. He has since utilized his medical and pharmaceutical knowledge to expand the business to incorporate a broad line of CBD products and now hard seltzer beverages.

COLTON, Calif., Dec. 14, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Hidden within the past are incredible stories that reveal why family remains the strongest bond in our lives. After six years of extensive research, interviews and travels, author T Joe Willey compiled findings about his own family’s role pioneering and homesteading during the 1800’s for his memoir, “Heaven is a Long Way to Go.” After writing the last few chapters while on hospice, Willey tragically passed away in 2019. His loving wife, Barbara, finished the book’s publication in his honor, fulfilling his hope that his story, filled with its joys and tragedies, would connect with those seeking to discover their own ancestry.

 

Readers are introduced to four generations before him that each exhibited remarkable strength and ambition through every challenge and tribulation life put in their path. Willey details their emigration to America from Norway to make their home in the Midwest on land obtained from the Federal Homestead Act of 1862. Sharing their victories and miseries, they encounter great economic struggles, locust plagues, blizzards, prairie fires, great loss and illness. However, their faith remained steadfast as they grew closer to Seventh-Day Adventism and the belief in the Second Coming of Christ. Discovery of their church becomes an integral part of the story and shows how it so heavily defined their lives and shaped their family.

 

Creating moments of reflection that showcase how important our past is, Willey’s investigations into the impact of homesteading, immigration and family bonds create a captivating reading experience for those interested in American history. Readers will be particularly interested in his reflections regarding the tragedies and loss his family, like many, faced and overcame.

 

“This book is a saga of a ‘thousand lives’ that have joys, losses and high emotions that teach us to gather our supports and strengths so we can grow from them,” says Barbara about her husband’s memoir.

 

“Heaven is a Long Way to Go” is a fascinating and intimate look at a true American family to see how their beliefs structured their lives under the difficult conditions of pioneering and homesteading.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Dec. 14, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — CloudMD Software & Services Inc. (TSXV: DOC, OTCQB: DOCRF, Frankfurt: 6PH) (the “Company” or “CloudMD”), a telehealth company revolutionizing the delivery of healthcare to patients, is pleased to announce that iMD Health Global (“iMD”), the Company’s robust healthcare education platform, has partnered with the Mental Health Commission of Canada (“MHCC”) to get relevant mental health resources, tools and information into the hands of healthcare providers and their patients.

“iMD has an innovative approach that allows health professionals to access thousands of educational graphics, videos and resources online,” said Ed Mantler, MHCC’s Vice-President of Programs and Priorities. “We’re excited that a number of the valuable resources we’ve created at the MHCC will now be available through this medium. Improving communication and understanding between patients and care providers will spell better mental health outcomes for people in Canada.”

Already used in examination rooms, at hospital bedsides and during pharmacy consultations, iMD is the trusted source for verified medical information.

“We know that 83 per cent of adults in Canada try to use the internet to self-diagnose, yet only about 3 per cent of those findings are accurate,” said Kevin Delano, President and CEO of iMD, citing the need for accurate, reliable health information, particularly given the shift towards digital tools incited by the pandemic. “We are excited to partner with MHCC in order to provide Canadians with better access to mental health information in a time when it is crucial to be properly informed.”

Having trusted, credible information to share with family and friends is important during a time of social distance, and technology can bridge the gap. “Patients, understandably, forget 80 per cent of what’s discussed with their health care provider. If they are unable to bring a support person to their appointment, iMD allows them to access and share information afterwards. This can help to lower anxiety, confusion and misinformation.”

Through a resource like iMD, full of user-friendly and visually appealing information, patients will gain a better understanding of their mental health condition. They will be then able to make more informed and responsible decisions, which is at the heart of a recovery-oriented, patient-centred approach.

“I imagine we are like people everywhere, just needing that encouragement to keep going. Our client base is positive. We are getting back on track and going forward together.”

PHOENIX and PEORIA, Ariz., Dec. 14, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The arrival of COVID-19 to Peoria, AZ, put Tim Earick’s and Jim McPhetres’ digital print design and marketing center to the test. Their International Minute Press franchise has been able to remain open as an essential business and best serve their community. Tim, a lifelong print professional and Jim, a military veteran, remain calm and find solutions for their loyal clients.

Tim explains, “March didn’t affect us too much, even with all of the issues going on with the virus. Printing is essential, but it is also flexible so we diversified years ago with services like customized vehicle car wraps, wide format printing, and creative design.”

Other businesses were understandably slowed down but progress as a print provider was uninterrupted as demand shifted, and both Tim and Jim were ready. Tim says, “For instance, we have a client with a fleet of vehicles so he can operate his three different businesses: security, solar and pest control. He had many people wanting to ‘get off the grid’ and go solar, boosting sales and allowing him to buy 5 new vehicles.”

Then, to keep driving those sales, he turned to Tim for customized, professionally branded printing. “We prepared the design, produced it and wrapped 80 cars for this client. His businesses became stronger during COVID-19. He needed fast service and we were there for him.”

International Minute Press Peoria, AZ Provides Community Outreach

During the pandemic, the City of Peoria needed community outreach assistance and Tim was able to guide them as their needs changed with the situation. Jim is on the board of directors at the Chamber of Commerce, so between the two of them, swift moves were made in the right direction. “We were doing community outreach for them when the decision was made to turn focus on other things, too. Originally, they needed us to do a vehicle wrap for one official van and the changes wound up requiring two vehicles. We took on the second van and wrapped both vehicles with city designations to allow quicker collection of census data and get much-needed funds into Peoria.”     

“There was one day back in March when I gave my staff the day off and I remained at
the cen
ter
.
Emails and calls were slow and I did get worried that day, but
it
turns out no worries were necessary. I left at
12
noon, had email and calls forwarded to my cell phone
and did not know
what to expect. That evening was when the city called me to do the first census van and honestly,
our
entire business has been non-stop since then.”

Expanding Products and Services

to Include Wide Format Printing and Vehicle Wrapping

Some people do not realize the car detailing that International Minute Press Peoria provides, but it’s been a delight when they discover it. “I am putting racing stripes on sports cars and mud-splashes on jeeps. I have been in the print world for many years and built a career in the Minuteman Press franchise system. I’ve owned the business for 7 years and have 25 years as a professional in the industry.”

Tim and Jim remained at their first location for only one year before sales growth enabled them to move to their current center at 9299 W Olive Ave., Suite 401. This allowed for greater space and new wide-format printers. “Catering to our wide-format print orders and getting more space to operate allowed us to maintain our digital printers, cutters and other normal equipment, but now we can also say we have three vehicles in the back, lined up for our customized vehicle wrapping service. We did well, adapting over the years and now most people are coming to realize it is way more than a print shop. It’s good for us and the community.”

Receiving Franchise Support

& Supporting Other Local Businesses

Tim has a friendly rapport with others in his franchise family and is happy to share ideas. “A year ago, we had a lot of other franchisees get together and we shared vendor stories and experiences. I was happy to offer myself to those who wanted to learn about this kind of print work with vehicles. If you do not do it, there is much to learn.”

He says he has “a ton of accounts exclusive to vehicle graphics and wrapping, plus normal print customers,” with one huge customer in mind who provides online courses.

It is medical transcription training that requires a great deal of printing and she has such faith in her relationship with International Minute Press that she referred her son’s new business. “She is a huge customer, working from home. She makes a great deal of money with a good business and she orders a ton of printing to keep it going. When her son started a karate school, we helped him overcome the COVID-19 restrictions on in-person classes with 3 consecutive months of targeted direct mail.

Customized pocket folders with detailed information packets were designed, printed and provided so martial artists in the area know where to go for training. “We helped him showcase his online offerings and personal training so students can make progress until he can welcome them to traditional classes in his studio. We want to make sure he can keep his doors open for members and he’s getting this done well.”

Giving Back with Charity Water Drive
Creates Increased Brand Awareness

For the second year in a row, International Minute Press in Peoria helped the area beat the heat with a charity water drive. Last year, there was excitement to see the sports cars, and locals flowed in with donations. “When we hit triple digit temperatures, we knew people are going to need more water. People came to see all the custom-wrapped sports cars and retired Arizona Cardinals in attendance, right behind our center. We collected 240 cases during four hours of fun on a Saturday morning and donated them to the Salvation Army.”

In 2020, with momentum already strong in their service to the business community, nothing could stop International Minute Press from giving back when they needed it most. The new theme, “Tailgate Parking Lot” again welcomed NFL players to sign autographs with professionally designed and wrapped sports cars rolling in to everyone’s delight.

This time, COVID-19 tried to put the brakes on the fun, but was overpowered by the same unstoppable spirit that put their brand on the map.   “I called the charity and discovered they could not send trucks to pick up our donations, but I was not going to let that stop us. I called a local radio station, knowing they host another drive, ‘Operation Hydration’ and when we didn’t hear back right away, I looked up the charity behind the drive, Phoenix Rescue. They were so happy we didn’t give up and sent a truck right away,” and Tim says the story gets better – The radio station he tried to reach has the biggest morning show in the state, KUPD, had a surprise for him.

“I didn’t know they were going to do this, but they talked about the 500 cases of water we collected and then their sponsor and two other companies joined us for a total of 1,400 cases of water for Phoenix House this summer.”

Hope and meaningful growth are what Tim and Jim are all about and it keeps coming back to enrich their business. “Phoenix Rescue was so impressed with the hustle of the team at International Minute Press, they came for help with even more charitable events.”

“We never imagined our desire to help would turn into more than people coming by to see the work we did on the sports cars and get a few autographs. It turned into a promotion for our center when the radio station picked up on it, so that worked out to be pretty neat.”

Ultimately, Tim, Jim, and the team at International Minute Press in Peoria are contributing to the community and giving everyone around them the feeling that things are getting better for local businesses because they know it to be true.

Tim concludes, “I imagine we are like people everywhere, just needing that encouragement to keep going. Our client base is positive. We are getting back on track and going forward together.”
