  • Lint Check Receives 2026 Consumer Choice Award in Hamilton for Dryer Vent Safety and Home Hazard Prevention

    HAMILTON, ON / ACCESS Newswire / March 11, 2026 / Lint Check has been awarded the 2026 Consumer Choice Award, recognizing the company’s specialized work in dryer equipment, dryer vent cleaning and fire prevention services for residential, commercial, and multi-unit properties in the Hamilton area.

    Lint Check is not a general duct-cleaning company. Its services focus exclusively on dryer and dryer-vent systems cleaning & repair, which are among the leading sources of preventable home fires when not properly maintained. The company’s full-path cleaning process addresses the entire dryer airflow system, from the appliance to the exterior exhaust.

    Certified technicians clean the entire airflow pathway to help reduce fire risk, improve airflow, and support safe, efficient dryer operation. Services include cleaning the dryer cabinet and vent system, exterior vent inspections, removal of lint and exhaust blockages, and clearing obstructions, such as bird nests, that can cause dryers to overheat, cycle longer, or fail prematurely.

    “Dryer vents are very different from HVAC ducts, and the risks are not the same,” said the Lint Check team. “Our role is fire prevention. We help homeowners, business owners, property managers, and institutions address hazards before they become emergencies.”

    Lint Check works with homeowners, property managers, and commercial facilities across Hamilton and surrounding areas, including multi-unit residential buildings and shared laundry environments, where dryer fire hazards can escalate quickly if left unaddressed.

    The 2026 Consumer Choice Award reflects the company’s continued focus on safety, specialization, and dependable service delivery.

The statements made in this press release that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements that are predictive in nature and depend upon or refer to future events.

  • Tax Season is a Stress Test: Smart Start Helps Business Owners Take Control Beyond Filing

    More than 60 Omaha business owners and entrepreneurs have completed Hayes & Associates’ online financial literacy course.

    OMAHA, NE / ACCESS Newswire / March 10, 2026 / As key IRS deadlines inch closer for many small business owners and entrepreneurs, the accounting experts at Hayes & Associates encourage business owners to go beyond filing on time. With March 15 for many business returns and April 15 for individual filings on the calendar, they recommend seizing a local opportunity to build financial basics that support smarter decisions year-round.

    “Tax time is when business owners feel the pressure, but it can also be the moment they finally take control,” said Frank Hayes, president of Hayes & Associates. “The more you know your numbers, the better your business can run. You can plan ahead more often and spot issues before they become expensive.”

    In 2025, Hayes & Associates, an Omaha CPA firm with 43 years in business, developed and launched a proprietary online financial literacy course for business owners and entrepreneurs. Smart Start: Financial Literacy for Small Business Owners is a 10-week course that takes students through modules that help them understand what their business financial reports are telling them and how to use that information to make more confident decisions.

    More than 60 business owners and entrepreneurs have already completed the course, describing the program as valuable and easy to follow, helping them feel less intimidated by financial reports and more prepared to manage business finances with confidence.

    “We created this course because we know many business owners are stretched thin and trying to figure it out alone,” said Davida Adams-Stewart, senior manager of client experience and talent management at Hayes & Associates. “It is immensely fulfilling to see how this opportunity is changing lives in real time by breaking down financial fundamentals in a way that feels doable for business owners.”

    The course also includes one-on-one support from Hayes & Associates team members, and with grant funding, the $1,000 tuition is waived for students.

    Smart Start is currently enrolling its next cohort, which starts April 20. To apply or learn more, visit https://hayes.cpa/ and click Financial Education.

  • Vetnique Introduces New Vet-Formulated Allergy Supplement For Dogs, Targeting The Five Key Pathways Behind Springtime Itch

    New Advanced Vet Strength Formula Delivers a Multi-Layered, Science-Backed Approach to Seasonal Allergy and Skin Health Support for Dogs with Higher Sensitivities

    NAPERVILLE, IL / ACCESS Newswire / March 10, 2026 / For millions of dog owners, spring doesn’t just mean blooming flowers-it means watching their beloved pet struggle to find relief from relentless itching. As seasonal allergies grow more intense each year, pet parents are searching for proactive, everyday solutions to help their dogs stay comfortable long before the scratching starts. To help address the growing need for effective allergy support, Vetnique launched DermaBliss Advanced Vet Strength (AVS) Allergy Health, its most powerful soft chew allergy supplement yet.

    Designed to support dogs through the five key allergy pathways, the daily soft chew offers a comprehensive approach to managing seasonal itch, skin sensitivity, and immune response-just in time for spring. Unlike traditional allergy products that focus on a single mechanism, DermaBliss AVS was formulated to address multiple contributors to allergic itch, including immune response, inflammation, and skin barrier health. The result is a vet-formulated supplement that fits seamlessly into easy, preventive care routines.

    “Allergic itch in dogs is rarely caused by just one trigger,” said Dr. Joya Griffin, DVM, DACVD, board‑certified veterinary dermatologist. “Seasonal allergies involve a complex immune response that can impact the skin barrier, inflammatory pathways, gut health, and overall comfort. But a product like this that is formulated to support multiple pathways-rather than focusing on a single mechanism-can be a valuable part of an allergy‑management plan, especially during high‑pollen months like spring.”

    A Science-backed Formula Built For Advanced Support

    DermaBliss Advanced Vet Strength Allergy Health is designed to support the five key pathways behind canine allergies, using a layered blend of clinically studied ingredients.

    Skin Barrier Support

    • Omega‑3 Blend (Fish Oil, Algae Oil & Concentrate): Nourishes skin and coat while supporting healthy inflammatory responses.

    • Vitamin E: Provides antioxidant protection against environmental stressors.

    Immune System Support

    • Colostrum (400 mg per chew): Helps support a healthy immune response and gut integrity-significantly more than standard allergy supplements.

    • Wellmune (Yeast Beta‑Glucan): Helps prime immune defenses for seasonal challenges.

    Histamine Response Support

    • Quercetin Dihydrate: Supports normal histamine levels and cellular health.

    • Nettle Root & Licorice Root: Traditional botanicals that help maintain balance during seasonal shifts.

    Inflammatory Response Support

    • Bromelain + Quercetin + Omega‑3s: Work together to support the body’s natural inflammatory pathways tied to skin sensitivity.

    Gut-Skin Axis Support

    • Aller‑Biotic Pro & Postbiotic Blend: A synbiotic system with prebiotics, three probiotic strains, and a postbiotic (LactoSpore®) to support digestive health and immune‑skin communication.

    • Apple Pectin & Marshmallow Root: Add extra gut and mucosal support to promote comfort from the inside out.

    Together, these ingredients create a daily, preventive approach to allergy support-designed for dogs who experience more persistent seasonal sensitivity and need comprehensive, vet‑strength care.

    “At Vetnique, we don’t follow the trends-we lead with science,” said Dr. James Bascharon, DVM, and founder of Vetnique. “With DermaBliss Advanced Vet Strength, we took a hard look at the full allergy picture and built a formula designed to support every major pathway involved in seasonal sensitivities for dogs. That level of intentional formulation, at meaningful ingredient levels, is what truly sets this vet‑formulated solution apart from other options.”

    DermaBliss Advanced Vet Strength Allergy Health Chews are one of the few natural dog allergy relief chews designed for daily use to address the causes of scratching, licking, and irritation during allergy season and beyond.

  • As Spring Awakens, New Children’s Book ‘Are You Here?’ Invites Families to Notice the Signs of Love That Never Leave Us

    NASHVILLE, TN / ACCESS Newswire / March 10, 2026 / As spring returns and the natural world begins to bloom again, a new children’s book encourages families to pause, reflect, and notice the quiet signs of love that surround us every day. In Are You Here?, author Jenny Robinson Clark makes her children’s book debut with a gentle exploration of one of life’s most tender and enduring questions: Are our loved ones still with us after they pass?

    Are You Here?, publishing March 17, will be available on all major bookselling platforms. Book illustrations and design by Elisabetta Fantone Cohen.

    Blending heartfelt storytelling with whimsical illustration, Are You Here? is a gentle and imaginative children’s book that invites readers to discover meaning in everyday moments. Published by Landon Hail Press, the book releases March 17 and will be available through all major bookselling platforms including Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Bookshop.org, and Books-A-Million.

    The inspiration behind Are You Here? is deeply personal. During her second pregnancy, Robinson Clark’s mother passed which brought both profound grief and an unexpected challenge: how to help her young children understand death, memory, and the feeling that someone we love is still near.

    Through storytelling, faith, and the comforting idea that love reveals itself in subtle ways, Robinson Clark began to transform her grief into something hopeful. That journey ultimately became Are You Here?, a whimsical and heartfelt book written to encourage readers to seek and notice everyday signs, reminding us that those we miss are still with us, in ways both subtle and profound.

    “In Are You Here?, Jenny Robinson Clark reassures us – young and old – that those we love who have crossed are always with us. Equally beautiful in its writing as well as its art work, it will leave you feeling less alone, full of hope, and lovingly watched over. The perfect gift for a child, or anyone, suffering the physical loss of someone they love.” – Laura Lynne Jackson, NY Times Bestselling author of Signs, Guided, and The Light Between Us.

    From a hidden ladybug tucked into every page to interactive illustrations that encourage readers to look closely and discover signs for themselves, the book offers both a gentle story and a shared family experience.

    Robinson Clark’s children gather around the couch, reading Are You Here?

    The story’s roots began at a retreat Robinson Clark attended by Dr. Joe Dispenza. She had initially gone with the intention to connect to her mom. A couple days after returning from the retreat Robinson Clark received a message she believed was from her mom, and the words flowed onto paper. She showed them to her husband, Travis Clark of We The Kings, who composed the heartfelt song “Are You Here,” a deeply personal tribute exploring the feeling that loved ones continue to reach us in unexpected ways.

    What began as a song of remembrance has now grown into a story for families, one that invites readers to remain open to love, connection, and the quiet signs that remind us we are never truly alone.

    “Are You Here?… is a tender, beautifully written book that gently opens the door to conversations about grief and loss,” writes parenting coach and early childhood educator, Albiona Rakipi, “Through a child’s curiosity and wonder, it invites young readers to look for the quiet signs that love continues even when someone we love is no longer physically here. A meaningful resource for families navigating loss together.”

    Author Jenny Robinson Clark with her children’s book Are You Here? at Together at Peace’s Sparkle of Hope Luncheon on September 28, 2025, a heartfelt gathering dedicated to honoring the memory of loved ones and celebrating the enduring connections that remain.

    “Early one morning, at a moment when my heart was open and I felt deeply connected, I received what I believe was a message from my mom, a message that changed everything,” says Robinson Clark.

    “She reminded me that she was still with me, all around me, showing up in unexpected and beautiful ways like rainbows, ladybugs, and dragonflies. That experience shifted how I understood connection and comfort, and I knew I couldn’t keep it to myself.”

    “I wrote Are You Here? to share that reassurance with children, families and those of all ages, so they can notice love in the little signs that appear when we’re thinking of someone we love, and know they’re never truly alone.”

    Prior to becoming a mother, author, and entrepreneur, Robinson Clark built a creative career as a dancer and actor in California. Storytelling and artistic expression have long been central to her life, and today she brings that same spirit into her work as a writer and creative collaborator.

    Jenny and her husband, musician Travis Clark, live in Nashville, Tennessee, where they are building a creative and intentional life with their four children. Together, their work blends music, storytelling, and imagination to create meaningful experiences that bring comfort, connection, and hope to families.

    A launch event celebrating the release of Are You Here? will take place March 17th from 5:30 PM to 7:30 PM in Orlando, Florida, featuring a special appearance by Robinson Clark and a live performance by her husband Travis.

    The event is free and open to the public, though guests are encouraged to RSVP to receive the event address and additional details.

    Are You Here? is a children’s book about grief that touches hearts of any age,” says Samantha Joy, Editor-in-Chief and Founder of Landon Hail Press. “Robinson Clark delivers a powerful reminder that even when we cannot feel our loved one’s physical presence, they are always there to guide us if we are willing to listen.”

    Robinson Clark delivers a powerful reminder to those that have lost a loved one: even when we cannot feel their physical presence, they are always there to guide us if we are willing to listen.”

  • Flatiron Software Appoints Sanjay Bhakta, Condé Nast Chief Product & Technology Officer, to Its Board of Directors

    Digital media and technology veteran with over 20 years of executive leadership at Condé Nast and HBO, joins the board to help shape the company’s strategic growth.

    NEW YORK CITY, NY / ACCESS Newswire / March 10, 2026 / Sanjay Bhakta, the executive leading product and technology at Condé Nast, is joining the board of Flatiron Software and it says a lot about where the company is headed.

    Flatiron is a software engineering and AI company built for enterprises that can’t afford to get technology wrong. It moves fast, works at scale, and has been quietly building a reputation for delivering what larger firms promise but rarely ship.

    Bhakta brings exactly the kind of experience that matters here. Over two decades, he has built and run technology at HBO, Pearson, and AT&T – organizations where complexity is the baseline and failure is not an option. He joins a board that already includes Rajiv Pant, former CTO of The New York Times and technology leader at The Wall Street Journal, Condé Nast, and Hearst.

    Investing in Leadership, Investing in the Future

    This appointment reflects Flatiron’s deliberate investment in building a board capable of guiding the company through its next phase of growth. As demand for AI-augmented software development and strategic technology consulting accelerates, Flatiron is positioning itself with the leadership infrastructure to match – bringing in executives who have not only witnessed digital transformation at the highest levels but driven it.

    “I’m excited to join Flatiron Software’s board at such a pivotal moment for the industry. The company has built a strong foundation for helping organizations navigate AI-driven transformation, and I look forward to contributing my experience to accelerate that impact.”

    – Sanjay Bhakta, CPTO Condé Nast and Board Director, Flatiron Software

    Sanjay Bhakta is currently Chief Product & Technology Officer at Condé Nast, where he leads the company’s global technology and product strategy. Over the course of his career, he has consistently transformed how large organizations build and deliver technology – scaling engineering teams, modernizing digital infrastructure, and creating the operational conditions for sustained innovation. His track record includes overseeing global teams of over 1000 engineers and managing technology budgets exceeding $250 million, always with a focus on measurable business outcomes rather than technology for its own sake.

    At HBO, Bhakta built and led the end-to-end digital media supply chain that powered HBO GO and HBO NOW – a complex, mission-critical operation that required both deep technical command and sharp strategic judgment. At Pearson, he drove the company’s digital transformation, turning a traditional publishing giant into a platform-first, cloud-native organization. Across every role, the throughline has been the same: making technology work harder for the business and the people it serves.
