24 • LIVING ADE The Mountain Times • May 22-28, 2019 Brandon Free Public Library used book sale season begins May 22, 24, 25—BRANDON—The Friends of the Brandon Free Public Library used book sale has begun for the season. It is open Wednesdays, 4-6 p.m.; Fridays, 11 a.m.-3 p.m.; and Saturdays, 9 a.m.-1 p.m.; until mid- October. Organizers say this is the best organized and longest running used book sale in Vermont. In the basement, find an huge selection of fiction and non-fiction books for all ages at very low prices. For the month of May: buy one book, get another book of the same value or less for free. There are new books that came in over the winter that are now part of the collections. As a result, a good spring cleaning has taken place, some older materials have been culled and there are many newer and different books on the shelves. Books are arranged by type and subject. There is both hard-cover and paperback fiction, non-fiction of every description, and books for children, toddlers, and young adults. There are special sections devoted to gardening, cooking, how-to and do-it-yourself projects. All of the income from this sale is used for the purchase of books and other materials and to help underwrite special projects for the library, like the Summer Children’s Program in July. The book sale and the holiday auction are the primary sources for funding for these programs. The library is located at 4 Franklin St., Brandon. It sits on the corner of Franklin and Park streets.

In fact, one of the most serious medical problems facing older people is falling. After age 30, the muscles that used to stand tall begin to weaken. The length of a stride shortens, and the pace of a step slows. Even vision becomes fuzzier. However, aging isn’t the only reason people lose their sense of stability. It’s the classic “use it or lose it” formula. Balance can be maintained by staying active. The staff in rehabilitation services at Rutland Regional Medical Center has developed a workshop specifically addressing walking, balance, and stability. The workshop, Gaining Traction: Improve Your Walking, Balance, Mobility, and Stability, will be held every Thursday, May 23-June 20, from 4-5:30 p.m. in the CVPS/ Leahy Community Health Education Center at the Rutland Regional Medical Center. In this program participants will learn the mechanics of walking and how various conditions such as arthritis, foot and joint issues, and neurological problems impact gait, and what strategies can be used to compensate for these conditions. There will be discussions on setting realistic walking goals, how to track progress using a pedometer and other technology, utilizing exercises that will enhance mobility, and how to select appropriate footwear. At the conclusion of the program there will be a panel discussion with the folks from rehabilitative services followed by a walk around the Rutland Regional loop, if the weather allows for that to happen. The cost is $15, and registration is required for the workshop. For more information or to register visit rmc.org or call 802-772-2400. Rutland Regional Medical Center is located at 160 Allen St. in Rutland. BUY ONE GET TWO FREE STOREWIDE SALE!

Leonard took on the challenge of visiting every town in the state of Vermont by joining the 251 Club – a unique organization dedicated to exploring the Green Mountain State. With his two best friends in tow, he interviewed locals and visited some of Vermont’s most celebrated places. After living outside Vermont for over a decade, Leonard moved back home and decided to revisit the 251 Club – returning to some of the same places and reinterviewing some of the same people he met 12 years ago. He witnessed how Vermont has changed, how it has stayed the same, and, ultimately, how a humble wayfarer’s club shaped his identity forever.

To recover from their ordeal, they escape to a secluded home on a mountain in Vermont. But this seclusion doesn’t bring Olivia the peace and healing for which she strives.
