Renovations were going on at the time of the Berwick fire but there were still 28 people who were occupants of the building. Five of them died in the fire. As was the case in the Bardwell House fire, it was a freezing cold night with a temperature of 20 below. The next day people looking at the hotel found icicles on what remained of the building as well as a thick coating of ice in the street. The cause of the fire was never learned. The remains of the Berwick were torn down and the empty lot has been referred to by locals as “The Pit.” It served as a public parking area at one time. It was exciting to read that a developer based — Cabinets — Countertops — Flooring Downtown hotels in Williston would like to build a $20 million hotel in “The Pit”. Preliminary plans call for a four story building with 124 rooms. The phrase “What goes ‘round…comes ‘round” PRELIMINARY PLANS CALL FOR A FOUR STORY BUILDING WITH 124 ROOMS. would apply here. It would be wonderful to see a hotel in that location once again. I think patrons of The Paramount Theater, who don’t live in the area, would enjoy an overnight stay at the hotel. My husband, Peter, and I have done just that in Burlington when we attended performances at The Flynn Theater. We stayed at a downtown hotel, walked to the nearby shops and ate at downtown restaurants. Rutland could offer the same experience to people like us! Let’s keep our fingers crossed that a downtown hotel will once again grace the corner of Center and Wales Street.

Set terms Another way to make sure your child doesn’t remain reliant on you is to set terms. Much like asking to understand your child’s spending, hammering out an agreement strikes some parents as intrusive, or even cruel. But it’s important that you and your child both understand each other’s expectations going forward. For starters, are you giving your child a gift or a loan? If it’s a gift, exactly how will the money be used? Are you helping your child solve a problem for good, or will this gift only lead to more problems, and more pressure on your retirement savings? Again, asking for specifics isn’t mean, it’s responsible giving. If it’s a loan, what are the terms? Are you charging interest? When will your child pay you back? Maybe establishing a monthly payment plan as part of the child’s budget is a good idea. Don’t be afraid to say no Saying no to your children never feels good, not even when they’re grown. But sometimes that’s the best thing you can do as a parent. If you look at your child’s budget and the intended use of your money and decide a loan or gift is not in your child’s best interest, or could potentially damage your retirement plan, then saying no is an option. There are more ways to help a child than writing a check. Maybe you have a connection who could help your child find a better job. Offer to go with your child to the bank and help with loan applications. Do some online research into scholarship and government grant opportunities that your child can take advantage of. Many of our clients introduce their adult children to our life-centered planning team. Our advisors can be an excellent resource to help your child move towards financial independence and start planning for their own future. Remember: your child has his or her entire working life to figure out how to balance their checkbook. But your retirement will be here much sooner than you think. Think long and hard about providing your child with a short-term fix if it’s going to set yourself up for long-term financial stress.

The Mountain Times • May 22-28, 2019 SERVICE DIRECTORY • 39 HRSA releases $200,000 funding to Vermont for opioid epidemic The Health Resources and Services Administration within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services announced its second installment of Rural Communities Opioid Response Program (RCORP)- planning grants. Central Vermont Medical Center, Inc., in Berlin received $200,000 for one year to support the Trump administration’s commitment to end the opioid crisis. The grant awards go towards developing local stakeholder partnerships, conducting needs assessments, and developing plans to implement and sustain substance use disorder (SUD), including opioid use disorder (OUD), prevention, treatment, and recovery interventions. “RCORP-Planning is part of a multi-year initiative by HRSA to support treatment for and prevention of SUD/OUD,” said HRSA Administrator George Sigounas, MS, Ph.D. “The goal is to reduce the morbidity and mortality of the diseases in high-risk rural communities.” The purpose of the funding is to address disparities that plague rural communities attempting to eradicate substance use disorder. “Rural communities continue to face several challenges in accessing SUD/OUD prevention, treatment, and recovery services,” said Associate Administrator for the Federal Office of Rural Health Policy Tom Morris. “Over half of rural counties nationwide lack a provider who is waivered to prescribe buprenorphine” (a medication used in combination with therapy to help people reduce or quit their use of opiates). Rural communities also face workforce shortages, geographic barriers, limited treatment infrastructure, and stigma associated with SUD/OUD.
