American Parkinson Disease Association, Inc.
– Funding research, patient support and education –
May 16, 2007, Deerfield Beach, FL – Platinum Television Group is pleased to announce the selection of American Parkinson Disease Association, Inc. for its innovative, educational television series, Today’s Family. The company will be featured in a segment on “Touching Hearts and Changing Lives” as part of a series on Getting America Involved.
“To ease the burden, to find the cure,” is the mission of the American Parkinson Disease Association (APDA), founded in 1961. They do this by getting families and individuals involved and raising awareness about the disease. APDA, the largest grass roots organization serving this community in the U.S., has given more than $60 million to support projects and programs dedicated to the disease, such as research, patient support, and free educational materials. Parkinson’s disease affects more than 1.5 million Americans, and 15 per cent are under the age of 50.
The group understands the variety of needs involved as well. “The whole family gets the disease,” explains Kathryn Whitford, the communications director, in discussing how APDA does not only treat the patient, but also the family involved as well because everyone is affected.
Many volunteer and donation opportunities exist and APDA is eager for help! APDA is encouraging volunteers to contact Congressional representatives and encourage support for funding a five-year plan for Parkinson’s research. APDA also encourages volunteers to assist with special events such as Walk-a-Thons.
Donations can either be made by check or credit card or in the form of gift annuities or a bequest. The charitable gift annuity is a contract between a donor and a charity, such as APDA, of a specified amount of annual payments, paid in equal quarterly installments, to one or two beneficiaries. A deferred gift annuity allows a person to make a current gift, delay receipt of the payments until some pre-selected future date, and still qualify for an income tax charitable deduction now.
Bequests, regardless of size, are appreciated and everything helps. Headquartered in New York, the organization focuses its energies on research, patient support, education and raising public awareness of the disease. There are 58 chapters with volunteers, and 59 centers that are professionally staffed, offering research and patient support, as well as respite programs for caregivers and other support groups.

–Newest Innovations in Affordable Wine Storage –
May 16, 2007, Deerfield Beach, FL – Platinum Television Group is pleased to announce the selection of Wine Racks America for its innovative, educational television series, Pulse on America. The company will be featured in a segment on Accents to Finer Living as part of the Collection Series.
The show will be aired once on The Travel Channel, and 19 times before and after CNN Headline News in selected cable television markets.
Having a wine cellar has always been a sign of culture, sophistication and excellent taste. In Europe, wine cellars were frequently a separate area of the home, often literally in a basement. However, in modern-day America, where space is frequently at a premium but the personal taste of a new generation dictates having wine choices, storage becomes a different matter.
Enter Wine Racks America—a pioneering company determined to close the gap and fill the need. They offer an attractive, durable product selection tailored to the tastes of nearly any wine enthusiast.
“We feel very privileged to work with such a varied and interesting clientele – and we go to great lengths to provide individual attention to each customer that comes our way. As with wine, our customers know and respect a quality product, and that is why we guarantee satisfaction for the life of each wine rack we build,” says Jeff Ogzewalla, the company’s president.
Storage solutions range from wine racks for the “first timer” who may only need storage for a few bottles all the way to comprehensive cellaring solutions for serious collectors, wineries, and large scale commercial applications. The company offers design services as well as wood racks, modular cellar systems, cellar cooling units, metal racking and accessories.
Wine Racks America not only manufactures its own products, it employs a full time staff of wine storage experts available to accommodate each client and their unique requests.

PTG Studios “Pulse on America” to feature Solid Source Realty
–Woman starts & runs top Atlanta real estate firm,
based on philosophy of faith & appreciation –
May 15, 2007, Deerfield Beach, FL – Platinum Television Group is pleased to announce the selection of Solid Source Realty for its innovative, educational television series, Pulse on America. The company will be featured in the “Model of Excellence Series: Innovative Real Estate Solutions.” This segment will air nationally on the Travel Channel and ABC Family Channel as well as on regional CNN Headline News broadcasts at the top and bottom of the hour.
When Michele Shoda moved back to her hometown, Atlanta, GA, four years ago, she had management, investment, and sales experience, but needed a flexible work environment because she also had a new baby. She decided to start her own firm, based on her vision “from God”, her skills with people, her belief in family values and her God-given talent. She researched information on other major firms which led to seeing the available opportunity to introduce a new trend.
That’s how Solid Source Realty began, and now it is the largest real estate office in Georgia, with over 1200 agents, six offices, and franchises being offered nationwide.
In such a competitive field, Shoda decided to focus on her Realtors, giving them the benefit of affiliation with a large company but encouraging their independence. She did this by creating technology to lessen their dependence on a main office for transaction records. Transaction paperwork is online, creating “the first paperless real estate firm in the country,” according to Shoda. She also rewards Realtors a higher commission than usual, based on a transaction fee to the agency rather than a percentage of the commission based on sales price. In order to avoid a competitive environment, Solid Source does not post the rankings of its agents. Continuing Education classes are offered monthly free of charge. Her rationale: “If you focus on the individual agent’s success, the company’s success will follow.” This business model is certainly the trendsetter for the future of real estate brokerage not only in Georgia, but across the U.S.
Shoda also understands “the true value of strategic partnerships” (and teaches a course by that name), helping consumers and Realtors learn to optimize available resources. For example, if a client is interested in purchasing investment property, Solid Source will give the client access to free advice from top-notch attorneys and property management firms.
Shoda prefers to work with people with “similar values” to her high standards: “The level of service your clients receive should be viewed as an extension of yourself.” Her founding philosophy is to make sure everyone feels valued and appreciated. She concludes: “We know that our incredible growth is attributed to God’s blessing and our corporate commitment of excellent service to our agents, staff, partners and clients.”

PTG Studios “Pulse on America” to feature Body MechanicsÔ
–Fighting children’s obesity with new superheroes –
Dec. 12, 2006, Deerfield Beach, FL – Platinum Television Group
is pleased to announce the selection of Body MechanicsÔ for its innovative, educational television series, Pulse on America. The company will be featured in a segment on “Touching Hearts, Changing Lives” as part of a series on Our Children Today & Tomorrow. The show will be aired on the Learning Channel, the ABC Family Channel, and before and after news headlines on CNN in regional cable markets.
While it has been acknowledged worldwide as a major problem, childhood obesity has not had many creative approaches to dealing with the issue. But out of Australia comes an exciting concept: Tony Findlay, of the company Big Red Frog, who has worked in the fitness industry for more than 25 years, and who had co-created & hosted a children’s health television show in the past, combined his interests to come up with a Body Mechanics Toolkit which teaches children how to be their own superheroes to fight the “enemy.” There is a movie and DVD game called “Escape from Obeez City” with a storyline involving keeping a body running properly (the Body Mechanics) and fighting the Coalition of Harm and Disease.
His main goal is to inspire children to learn about how their bodies work, and to inspire action to get them to want to move their bodies and exercise. Ultimately, he hopes to save lives. “I try to come up with ways to reach kids without fighting their interests in media. I use those interests (interactive games, animated movies and superheroes) to provide entertainment and learning.” He believes that if you show children how to eat in a meaningful way that they can relate to, they will see its importance. “What we do is explain things from a kid’s perspective, in a way that is understandable and interesting.”
There will also be more animations, comic books and an extensive licensing program, including toys, games, publishing, home entertainment and packaged goods. The program will be launched in the U.S. in New York City in February, including a Healthy Schools Initiative program planned for 2007 for elementary schools in New York City.
Findlay’s enthusiasm for the project cannot be contained. His keys to success are Awareness, Knowledge and Action. The purpose of Body MechanicsÔ is to simplify concepts like diabetes, cholesterol, obesity, proper nutrition and more for those from age 5 on up. The movie/DVD game recently won awards in several categories at the Parent to Parent Adding Wisdom Awards ceremony, and have been nominated for the Top 100 children’s products of all time.

–Sustaining ecosystems, building “green” housing –
March 12, 2007, Deerfield Beach, FL – PTG Studios is pleased to announce the selection of Windmill Development Group for its innovative, educational television series, Great Taste. The company will be featured in a segment on Sustainable Development as part of the “Greening America Series.” The show will air on cable networks in both the U.S. and Canada.
Improvements in land use, water, air, energy, design, waste management, and smart building technologies have changed methods of development and building design. Based on the notion that developers have the responsibility to be positive engineers of change, Windmill Development Group, based in Ontario, Canada, is seeking to revolutionize the current development paradigm. Their method is based on a triple bottom line approach: They pay attention to ecological, social, and financial goals.
Windmill is currently working in partnership with VanCity to develop Dockside Green, located in the heart of the city of Victoria, between the Johnson and Bay Street Bridges. Planned to be a total of 1.3 million square feet comprised of residential, office, retail, and industrial space, Dockside Green is the biggest development of city land in Victoria’s history. It is also targeted to be North America’s first LEED Platinum community and is designed to be GHG neutral with the potential of being GHG negative, while treating all its sewage on site and using treated water to flush toilets and for irrigation needs. The first phase of the new development has received strong market support, selling out 85% of the units on the first official day of sales.
Green building increases the efficiency with which buildings use energy, water, and materials. These are the premises upon which the Windmill Development Group is based. All their developments are designed to protect and enhance the local community and its ecosystems. Windmill has LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) accredited professionals on their team to help realize LEED certification goals. Windmill’s founding partners are the Westeinde Group, Quantum Environmental Group and Build green Developments.
Another of Windmill Developments latest projects is The Acqua & Vento, a target LEED Gold green building that offers 22 luxury spaces ranging from one-bedroom suites to two-bedroom town homes. Located in the Bridges section of Calgary, this space is perfect for outdoor enthusiasts to enjoy the nearby picnic areas and walkways. Units range from the mid-$200,000s to $330,000, and it is completely sold out.
The new home of the Great Canadian Theatre Company (GCTC) in downtown Ottawa will also be the ground floor to The Currents, an environmentally friendly building targeting LEED Gold featuring 43 luxury condominiums. The Ottawa skyline, Ottawa River, and Gatineau Hills are all visible from homes at The Currents.
“(What we do) provides people with positive and achievable examples of how development can, and should, be happening,” said Jonathan Westeinde, Managing Partner of Windmill Developments. “We also are deeply committed to building the green development movement. Windmill team members spend a great deal of time hosting training seminars and workshops, being active on various boards and committees, and actively contributing to their local communities. Windmill aims to have all of our projects be positive reflections of the needs, ethic, and nature of the communities in which they are located. We are leaving a green legacy for future generations.”
