Vermont Retail & Grocers Association

Offers Clarity on Face Mask Guidance

Vermont Retail & Grocer Association

seeks to clarify requirements of retail employees

wearing masks. Retail employees are

required to wear cloth face masks in the presence

of other employees and all customers

regardless of a translucent “sneeze guard.”

VRGA has learned of confusion surrounding

requirements set forth by the Vermont

Department of Health and the Agency of

Commerce and Community Development

and would like to ensure clarity for everyone’s

safety.

Updated operating instructions from

ACCD now state: “Employees must wear

face coverings over their nose and mouth

when in the presence of others. In the case of

retail cashiers, a translucent shield or “sneeze

guard” is acceptable in lieu of a mask if the

employee works alone and does not interact

with customers outside the work station.”

Businesses and non-profit and government

entities may require customers or clients to

wear masks.

In consultation with ACCD, proper interpretation

of this guidance allows a single

Central Vermont Council on Aging (CVCOA)

Offers New Creative Aging Initiative to Help

Alleviate Social Isolation and Loneliness

The Central Vermont Council on Aging

(CVCOA) in collaboration with RSVP of

Central Vermont and the Northeast Kingdom

is developing a new Creative Aging Initiative

to help reduce social isolation and loneliness

while providing special opportunities for

older Vermonters to engage in lifelong learning

through skills-based arts activities. This

project was made possible for the community

due to the generous support from AARP.

The first project for the new Creative

Aging Initiative will provide free Creative

Care Kits to people age 60+ in the CVCOA

service area. These kits will include several

activities along with supplies, instructions,

and resources needed to practice and create

finished work such as hand-made greeting

cards. In addition, CVCOA/RSVP will connect

each participant in the Creative Care Kit

Project with a “Creative Companion” volunteer.

The volunteers will engage participants

in meaningful conversation inspired by the art

activities and stories that arise in the process.

For the time being, volunteers will connect

with participants by phone due to COVID-19

retail employee to stand behind a translucent

“sneeze guard” in lieu of a cloth face covering.

If two or more people are working behind

a translucent shield, or if the employee leaves

their work station and may be in the presence

of other staff or customers, then the employee

must wear a face mask.

For questions about specific scenarios and

situations arising in your business, always

refer first to ACCD operating guidance

which can be found at https://accd.vermont.

For questions that

can’t be answered by the ACCD guidance for

businesses, reach out to VRGA at https://

vtrga.org/contact-us. VRGA continues to

work with ACCD and the office of the

Governor in efforts to fully open retail in the

state.

“The arts are a powerful way to improve

the quality of life for older adults through

creative expression and social engagement,”

says Luke Rackers, RSVP Volunteer

Coordinator at the Central Vermont Council

on Aging. “Our new Creative Aging Initiative

will have benefits for older adults, the organization,

and the community at large. The

Creative Care Kits will help bring some

much-needed joy and connection to people

this fall and winter as we continue to navigate

challenges related to COVID-19.”

Volunteers will connect with Creative Care

Kit recipients once a month through the fall

and winter. This project will culminate with a

virtual art show to recognize and showcase

the creative work.

If you are interested in becoming a Creative

Companion volunteer or receiving a Creative

Care Kit, please contact Luke Rackers at 802-

Department of Labor Continues Virtual Job Fairs,

Highlighting Career Opportunities Across Vermont

As a part of its continued efforts to support

job seekers and employers, the Vermont

Department of Labor has announced additional

dates for its #Hiring2DayVT Virtual

Job Fairs. The Department will resume its

series, highlighting statewide and regional

career opportunities on Thursday, September

3 at 11:00am.

“We know the pandemic has had a great

impact on the hiring process, as many

Vermont employers and job seekers have

sought to utilize what may have been previously

unfamiliar methods of recruitment and

career development,” said Commissioner

Michael Harrington. “By leveraging virtual

services, such as virtual job fairs, our

Workforce Development team continues its

work to connect job seekers with employers.”

“As we continue to hear from employers

that they are hiring, we encourage both

employers and job seekers to contact their

local Career Resource Center to learn more

about virtual job fairs and other resources

available.”

The free virtual events allow job seekers

and others to join an initial meeting to hear

updates on resources and programs available

from the Department. Job seekers will then

be provided access to regional meetings

being held in the given week, hearing from

local employers and Department staff about

local career opportunities in the region.

Employers hiring for statewide and remote

openings will also be featured as opportunities

are available.

Virtual Job Fairs may be found below:

A Shining Light in the

Worcester Community

In the midst of Covid-19 there is a family that has given of

themselves to reach out to a small community in an enormous

way. The Singh family of LBJ’s Grocery hosted a drive-thru,

take-out Indian meal on August 23, 2020. The meal was in

memory of Amrik (Mick) Singh one of the owners who

passed in 2019.

The Singh’s are loved, respected and a major part of the

community. The meal was served by Amrik’s son, Gurjot,

daughter, Harndor and various members of the Worcester

United Methodist Church.

Donations of $1,200.00 dollars were raised and a check was

presented by Paramjit (Pam) Amrik’s wife to Karen Hoskey

head of the Worcester Food Shelf.

In March the Singh’s also prepared a meal that was served

at the Worcester Church with donations of $1,050.00 raised

and donated to the Worcester Food Shelf.

The Singh’s hope is that others will follow their example by

reaching out to their communities to help ensure food security.

This Year’s Women’s Economic

Opportunity Conference Cancelled;

Planning will Start for WEOC 2021

Senator Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) announced the cancellation

of what would have been Vermont’s 24th Annual Women’s

Economic Opportunity Conference (WEOC), due to the challenges

of the COVID pandemic. It is only the second time in

the long history of the conference that it has been cancelled,

the first time being after 9/11. Leahy launched the annual

conference in 1996.

In a letter sent to nearly 3,300 Vermonters who have participated

in recent conferences, Leahy said: “The strength of

this conference lies in the personal stories and lessons that are

shared and the personal connections that are made, whether in

workshops, a keynote address, or simply over lunch. These

connections make this conference unique, and when we

explored options for WEOC this year, we simply could not

overcome the obstacles brought on by COVID concerns.”

Held at Vermont Technical College in Randolph, the free

conference is known for bringing together hundreds of women

from across Vermont for a day of professional and personal

growth. Recent keynote speeches and workshops have

focused on gender equity, racial diversity and the challenges

of starting a business in Vermont, while attendees have

explored new careers, connected to financial resources and

strengthened their social media skills.

More information on the conference can be found on

Senator Leahy’s website at https://www.leahy.senate.gov/

Wildlife Ecology and Forest Management at

Andrews Community Forest

Join Ethan Tapper, Chittenden County Forester, and Andrea

Shortsleeve, Wildlife Biologist for Vermont Fish and Wildlife,

at 7:00 p.m., on Tuesday, September 15 for a virtual presentation

on Vermont’s wildlife, wildlife ecology and forest management

focusing on the Andrews Community Forest, a public,

conserved property owned by the Town of Richmond.

This event is co-sponsored by Vermont Coverts and the

Richmond Free Library and will explain how an upcoming

forest management project on this property is expected to

influence wildlife habitat and behavior.

Andrea will discuss how the Andrews Community Forest

fits into the larger forested landscape and how wildlife uses

these conserved forest blocks to move through the state. She

will cover habitats, unique features found on the property and

how the proper management of those features can benefit

wildlife – from bumblebees and salamanders to black bear and

wild turkeys.

Ethan will discuss the forest management project at the

Andrews Community Forest starting this summer and early

fall. This project has the goals of increasing the health, diversity

and resilience of forests on the property and demonstrating

responsible, ecological forest management. Ethan is particularly

interested in how we can manage forests for greater

complexity and how active management can help Vermont’s

relatively young forests be more like old forest.

Bring your wildlife, habitat management and forestry questions,

both general and specific to the Andrews Community

Forest, for a Q & A session after the presentation.

CLiF Grant

We were awarded one of twelve grants offered throughout

Vermont and New Hampshire whose mission is to enable rural

public libraries to create excitement around reading. The grant

will not only add books to the library collection but also to

WES’s library, provide each child two free books in the elementary

school to take home, storytelling presentations and

more!

He brings along his wife, son, and flamboyant daughter,

Martha. At first Martha is entranced by the parties and pomp,

and the handsome young men of the Third Reich with their

infectious enthusiasm for restoring Germany to a position of

world prominence. Enamored of the “New Germany,” she has

one affair after another, including with the surprisingly honorable

first chief of the Gestapo, Rudolf Diels.

But as evidence of Jewish persecution mounts, confirmed

by chilling first-person testimony, her father telegraphs his

concerns to a largely indifferent State Department back home.

As that first year unfolds and the shadows deepen, the Dodds

experience days full of excitement, intrigue, romance—and

ultimately, horror, when a climactic spasm of violence and

murder reveals Hitler’s true character and ruthless ambition.

Washington Central Unified Union School District

Launches Advanced Technology to Assist with

COVID-19 Screening Process

Washington Central Unified Union School District

(WCUUSD) announced that they have deployed thermal

imaging technology in four of the six district facilities to assist

them in monitoring the body temperatures of their students,

staff and visitors.

“Effective September 8, 2020, any person entering a

WCUUSD facility will be required to follow a specific set of

protocols before being admitted into our buildings and we are

very excited to announce the deployment of new technology

that will help us simplify the process of checking temperatures

at U-32, Berlin, East Montpelier and Rumney Memorial

Elementary Schools,” said Bryan Olkowski, Superintendent

of WCUUSD.

“Standard, no-contact digital thermometers will be used at

the two other district elementary schools, Calais and Doty,

who both have recently appointed a full-time nurse to assist in

providing daily screenings and temperature checks,” added

Olkowski.

Throughout the summer, District Administrators explored

different solutions that would ensure the student and staff

experience would be the least invasive as possible in order to

follow WCUUSD’s very specific set of protocols before being

admitted into the school facilities.

“The WCUUSD protocols include an online health screening

questionnaire and temperature checks upon arrival at all

schools. The use of the thermal imaging technology is being

deployed at the four largest schools to decrease the time it

takes for students and staff to enter the buildings, and eliminate

the need for the removal of facial coverings. The technology

also decreases the need for students and staff to be in

close proximity to one another, which keeps everyone more

safe,” explained Amy Molina, Director of Student Affairs at

U-32 High School.

Olkowki said, “Our mission was to find solutions for our

each of our schools that would allow us to get our students in

the door effectively and efficiently as possible especially as

the colder months of the year are headed our way. We knew

most methods of health screening and temperature checks

were time consuming, uncomfortable and/or invasive. We

American Lung Association Announces Robust Plan to

End Youth Vaping for Vermont Students, Parents, Schools

In Vermont, 26.4% of high school students used e-cigarettes

in 2019, according to the Centers for Disease Control

and Prevention (CDC)’s 2019 Youth Risk Behavior Survey.

Vaping harms developing lungs and overall health and may

place people at an increased risk for severe illness from

COVID-19. Now, when protecting lung health is more important

than ever, the American Lung Association announced a

broad plan to end youth vaping.

“As kids prepare to head back to school, more students may

experience social pressure to vape, while others may begin to

vape in response to stress, including stress related to COVID-

19,” said American Lung Association health promotions specialist

Alex Crimmin. “We’re already facing what the Surgeon

General refers to as a ‘youth vaping epidemic’. Our communities

need support, and as the nation’s trusted champion of

lung health, the American Lung Association is proud to offer

Vermont schools, parents and students proven approaches to

end youth vaping in our communities and state.”

The American Lung Association’s comprehensive plan to

end youth vaping encompasses education, advocacy and

research, and has four components:

• “Get Your Head Out of the Cloud” public awareness campaign

with the Ad Council equips parents with the facts about

e-cigarettes and support conversations before kids start to

vape. The campaign includes free educational resources and

guides, conversation starters and facts about vaping at

TalkAboutVaping.org.

• Vape-Free Schools Initiative to help school administrators

and educators address the surge of youth vaping through guidance

in implementing a comprehensive tobacco use policy, an

• • •

believe this solution will prevent lines out our doors at the

larger schools and providing our students and staff with an as

near-normal return to school experience as possible.”

The school district also retained the services of a COVID-

19 Response Coordinator, Elizabeth Wirth, RN, BSN, NCSN,

in order to ensure appropriate collaboration among all of the

WCUUSD facilities. Wirth said, “I believe the technology we

are deploying will improve the experience and increase efficacy

of the screening process, and maybe most importantly

provide parents with an additional level of confidence that

WCUUSD is doing everything we can to provide our students

and staff with a safe educational environment.”

In addition to the thermal imaging at the largest schools in

the district, all of the WCUUSD schools have partnered with

Base Camp Health to utilize their Ascend health screening

platform which provides a reliable and important tool to help

give parents and staff guidelines regarding when to come to

school and when to stay home due to illness.

Montpelier-based systems integrator, Vermont Security,

LLC, recommended the thermal temperature screening system

after learning of their leadership team’s interest in finding

the most efficient and accurate solution for checking temperatures.

This non-contact solution automates the temperature

screening process, significantly reduces human resource

costs, improves safety, and enhances the experience for people

entering public buildings.

Jesse Harper, president of Vermont Security said, “Our

team is so proud to be working with educational institutions,

hospitals, doctor’s offices and businesses who are taking a

leadership role in deploying a cost-effective emerging technology

in response to safety protocols being put in place as a

result of this pandemic, but this technology will also help to

identify people who may have other viruses by screening for

elevated body temperatures. Vermont Security is happy to

be playing a part in bringing these technological advancements

to our communities so more and more institutions and

businesses can provide safer learning and working environments.”

alternative to suspension program for students found noncompliant

with existing tobacco use policies, as well as offering

a voluntary youth-centered tobacco cessation, including

vaping cessation assistance, for youth wanting to quit tobacco

use for good. Participating schools will be recognized as part

of the American Lung Association Vape-Free Schools

Initiative in their communities and with parents and staff.

• Targeted advocacy plan to advance proven e-cigarette

policies at local, state and federal levels including ending the

sale of flavored tobacco products in the State of Vermont.

• $2 million research investment to understand the effects

of vaping on developing lungs. The organization is also partnering

with Northwestern Medicine in a $25 million National

Institutes of Health (NIH)-funded grant to study the longitudinal

lung health of millennials,

including the long-term

impact of vaping.

Exilda “Cindy” Peduzzi

BARRE – Exilda “Cindy” Peduzzi, 95,

passed away on Sunday, August 30, 2020

at the Woodridge Nursing Home in

Berlin, where she had been well cared

for, these last two and a half years. Due

to isolation restrictions, her children had

not been allowed to visit for almost six

months and were finally allowed to visit

in her last days. COVID did not kill her

but it took her from us.

Born on December 18, 1924 in Salem, Massachusetts, she

was the daughter Forrest and Mary Elizabeth (Legier)

Hammond. The family re-located to Northfield Falls,

Vermont where they lived for many years. Cindy attended

Northfield Schools and Montpelier Seminary after high

school.

She was working for National Life when her brother

Forrest was called to serve in the US Navy during WWII.

Joining the wave of patriotism at the time, she and a friend

went to the recruiting office in Montpelier in 1943 to volunteer

to serve in the armed forces. She was told to come back

when she was 20, which she did, enlisting in the Women’s

Army Corps in March of 1945. She greatly appreciated

learning skills as a medical technician and served as a nurse’s

aide in hospitals in Augusta, Georgia and Nashville,

Tennessee caring for wounded soldiers returning from the

South Pacific. She was honorably discharged in October

1946.

Back in Northfield Falls after the war, her brother introduced

her to Elmo Peduzzi, a friend he worked with at a

Northfield granite shed. Although the locals were shocked

that she would date an Italian from Barre, they fell in love and

married at the Northfield Methodist Church on June 17, 1950.

They had 38 years of a very happy married life until Elmo

died in 1988. Three children followed the marriage, Diana,

Joanne, and Michael. Cindy cared for the family while Elmo

pursued his successful career as a Memorial Designer for the

granite industry. His career culminated in an award for the

design of the Italian American Memorial, now located on

Main Street in Barre.

Cindy once said that the finest aspects of her life were,

first, husband and family, followed by her time in the service,

and third, her many years with the Barretones Barbershop

Chorus, and the dear friends and fun travels she enjoyed with

that group. She played poker with the same group of friends

for 50 years. The family first lived on Short Street in Barre

where the neighbors were very close and loving. Later the

family moved to Hilltop Avenue. After Elmo’s death in 1988,

she volunteered at several local organizations including the

State House, the Barre Opera House, the Central Vermont

Medical Center and as a reading mentor at Barre City

Elementary School. She later lived for ten years at North

Barre Manor where she was president of the tenants’ association

for several years and made many friends.

Survivors include her three children, Diana (partner Ronald

Wells) of Woodbury; Joanne (husband Jerry DeLollis) of

Lexington, KY and Franklin, VT; and Michael (partner

Kathryn McTaggart) of Williamstown as well as Michael’s

three children, Nicole (and Brian) Evert of Round Rock, TX;

Gregory Peduzzi (Danielle Tompkins) of Webster, NY and

Bradley (and Megan) Peduzzi of White River Junction, VT;

and eight great-granddaughters.

A private burial at the family plot in Hope Cemetery will

take place at the convenience of her family.

Memorial contributions may be made to Heidi’s Haven

Animal Rescue, 140 Casino Road, Williamstown, VT 05679

or to the Woodridge Activities Fund, 142 Woodridge Drive,

Montpelier, VT 05602.

Nathan Sonny Picard

Nathan Sonny Picard, 36, of Middlesex,

VT., passed away unexpectedly on

August 30, 2020.

He was born on May 19, 1984 in

Berlin, VT, the son of Tammy (Lane) and

Emile Picard.

Nathan attended U-32 where he graduated

in 2002. He then attended Bridgeton

Academy. He later went on to attend

Norwich University.

Nathan grew up surrounded by a large and loving family

with a love for nature and wildlife born into him. He was

personable, selfless, and well loved by all who met him.

His football career started at Dog River in Montpelier in

4th grade continuing through senior year at U32. His position

as Running Back helped him be chosen to play in the

New Hampshire, inducted as an honoree into the Vermont

Chapter of the National Football Federation Hall of Fame and

was chosen as the 2001 Times Argus Player of the Year in his

senior year. Nathan always walked off the field with humility

and was very proud of his team’s talent. During his time at

U32 he also played hockey and lacrosse.

His greatest joy and proudest moments were when he was

with his children. He loved watching his two sons, Kalell and

Marcel, following in his footsteps by playing football. All

three of the kids have spent many hours with him on the

shores or in his boat fishing. He enjoyed teaching his kids to

shoot and was so excited to tell people about the new gun he

had just acquired especially for Rocky when she was ready.

Nathan worked alongside his dad in the logging and snow

plowing business. His most recent job was as the head custodian

at Rumney Memorial School, maintaining all building

and grounds work. Nathan was always willing to help anyone

who needed anything, whether it be a friend who needed to

talk, a ride somewhere, help moving a couch, or anything at

all. All you had to do was ask or be a stranger in need and he

would be there to help.

Nathan was a natural outdoorsman at heart. Whether it be

fishing or hunting, he was in his glory as long as he could be

in the woods enjoying the peace and quiet in these beautiful

surroundings. At nighttime, it was not uncommon for Nathan

to fire up his grill and make delicious barbeque dinners for

his friends and loved ones, followed by sitting around a bonfire.

He got tremendous joy from providing enjoyment for

others, sharing stories, laughing, and enjoying the company

of everyone that had the pleasure of knowing him, a strong

trait inherited from his loving mother.

There are no words that can fully express the magnitude of

love and gratitude we have for having Nathan in our lives. He

could light up any room with his smile and big, blue eyes. We

will cherish the stories and memories we have of him forever.

Nathan is survived by his parents, Emile and Tammy

Picard of Middlesex, VT; his three amazing children, Kalell

Sonny, Marcel Emile Sonny and Rocquelle Renee Picard, his

loving partner, Caitlin Morgan of Montpelier; his former

spouse Javonne Monte of Monroe, NY; and many aunts,

uncles, and cousins, as well as a huge community of loyal

friends.

He was predeceased by his maternal grandparents, Robert

and Janet Lane; his paternal grandparents, Joseph and Marie

Picard, his uncle, James Lane; his Aunts, Jeanette Gray, and

Margaret Barclay; and his cousin, JD Picard.

A graveside service was held at Middlesex Cemetery on

Friday, September 4, 2020, at 11:00 a.m. Those that attend

were asked to wear masks and follow social distancing guidelines.

Those wishing to express online condolences may do so at

www.guareandsons.com. In lieu of flowers, contributions can

be made to The Nathan Picard Memorial Fund to support his

children and can be sent to Northfield Savings Bank at 100

State Street, Suite 1 in Montpelier.

Leslie Arnold Skinner, Jr.

Leslie Arnold Skinner, Jr., 92, passed

away Aug. 26, 2020 at his home in

Northfield, VT.

The oldest of seven children, Leslie

was born March 18, 1928 in Melrose,

MA to Leslie A. Skinner and Hazel

Vassar (Cook) Skinner. A member of the

Oliver Ames High School class of 1945

he furthered his education by taking

courses at Massasoit College, Fitchburg

and Bridgewater State Colleges, and Boston School of

Anatomy. He served an apprenticeship as Funeral Director

and Embalmer with Ellis Delano of Brockton, whose daughter

became his second wife. He married Bernice M. Baker in

1954 and they had two sons. Divorced in 1978, he later married

Phyllis Jean Delano.

He liked machinery, especially automobiles and owned

many antique classics over the years. In 1950 he bought

Earle’s Hudson dealership in South Easton MA, added GMC

trucks and ran it as Skinner Motor Sales for three years. Next

he worked in the experimental dept. of Pratt & Whitney in

Hartford, CT and later became Service Manager at Jannell

Ford in Weymouth, MA for 28 years. He then taught at

Southeastern Regional Vocational High School in South

Easton, MA and having gone full circle, has been with

Kingston Funeral Home in Northfield after moving to

Vermont in 1990.

He was active in Grange circles, a Past Master of Easton

Grange, Brockton Grange, and Capital City Grange. As a

Mason, he was a Past Master of Satucket Lodge F & AM, Past

President of the Tri Town Temple Association and a Past

Master of the Brockton Masonic Lodge of Instruction in MA.

He was a Royal Arch Mason, a Tall Cedar of Lebanon, and a

member of The Grand Order of the Sword of Bunker Hill. For

many years he was the secretary of DeWitt Clinton Lodge

and an officer in Naomi Chapter, Order Of The Eastern Star

in Northfield. He was a past President of the South Shore

Antique Auto Club in MA, and a past Treasurer of the

Vermont Automobile Enthusiasts in VT. He served on the

Board of Zoning in Northfield and as an auditor. He was an

active member and officer of the Northfield Rotary Club and

served on the board of the United Methodist Church in

Northfield.

Although he spent much of his life in Massachusetts, he

thought of himself as a Vermonter spending much of his

youth on Grandpa’s Farm on Skinner Hill Rd. in Bakersfield.

Les enjoyed camping trips in his motor home and liked to

travel as long as it was on the ground or by boat. His

Grandchildren were a particular joy, four boys and the red

head, Sarah. Les is survived by his wife, Phyllis, of Northfield,

two sons, Wayne Douglas Skinner of Central Square, NY and

Steven Nelson Skinner of Northfield, a brother Russell

Skinner, and five grandchildren, Nelson, Sarah, Andrew,

You’d think by now that the confusion

about how to manage elevated lousy LDL

cholesterol levels and boost low levels of

good-for-you HDL cholesterol would be

behind us. But headlines like: “People with

high cholesterol should eliminate carbs, not

saturated fat” that are making the rounds

these days have got folks thinking they can

chow down on red meat and should shun

whole grains if they want to be heart healthy.

YIKES!

The study fueling this new confusion is

worth paying attention to, but it has to be put in context, and

you need to read the fine print. Researchers from the

University of South Florida published a study in the journal

BMJ Evidence-Based Medicine that was looking at how to

help folks who have what’s called familial hypercholesterolemia

get it under control. Familial hypercholesterolemia is a

genetic disorder that causes people to have cholesterol levels

two to four times higher than average. It is notoriously

difficult to rein in and, if untreated, is associated with a

20-fold increase in risk of premature coronary heart disease.

Their conclusion was that decades of advice that these

folks should curb intake of saturated fat is misplaced -- sat fat

doesn’t boost cholesterol levels. What does imperil heart

health, and should be eliminated, say the researchers, is

sugar from carbs, particularly sweets and bread (no whole

grains in the lot).

Well, that makes some sense. We’ve long said added sugars

and refined carbohydrates are the nukes of nutrition. But

the study overlooks one important fact: Saturated fat intake,

as well other components of meat, boosts bodywide inflammation.

And chronic inflammation damages everything

from arterial flexibility to brain function and impairs healthy

gut, immune and endocrine function, upping the risk for

heart attack, stroke, cancers, diabetes and obesity.

Clearly when you want to protect your cardiovascular

system, you have to consider more than just cholesterol

numbers. So in addition to elimination of refined carbs and

added sweets, to genuinely reduce your risk of cardiovascular

woes -- whether your lousy LDL cholesterol is elevated

What you need to know about lowering your cholesterol

because of an inherited risk or poor lifestyle

choices or both -- here are smart, easy and

rewarding steps to take.

1. As you banish added sugars, refined carbs

AND most saturated fat, opt for inflammation-soothing

nutrients and carbohydrates

found in seven to nine servings of fruits and

veggies, and two serving of whole grains

daily. A low-fat, plant-based diet can typically

reduce LDL levels by at least 15%. And if you

eat oats, beans, barley and other foods high in

soluble fiber, as well as soy protein, nuts,

wheat germ, wheat bran, almonds, Brussels sprouts and

other foods containing substances called phytosterols, a

University of Toronto study found you can lower LDL cholesterol

by nearly 30% in just four weeks.

2. Exercise regularly. Moderate exercise boosts healthy HDL

cholesterol and stimulates enzymes that help move lousy

LDL cholesterol from the blood to the liver for excretion. It

also packages LDL for transport in the blood in larger,

fluffier particles that do less damage than small ones that

more easily invade the lining of blood vessels. For some

folks, exercise can bring down LDL levels by up to 20%.

3. Talk to your doctor about taking a statin. Not only do they

cut the risk of dying or having a heart attack or stroke by

nearly 50%, according to a 14-year study, they also may

starve cancer cells to death and may help control the progression

of osteoarthritis if taken for five or more years. One

study of veterans without elevated cholesterol levels found

that even when statins were started at age 75, they decreased

all cause mortality (over the length of the study) by 25%.

So take heart by sticking with fruits and vegetables, 100%

whole grains and unrefined carbs; cut way, way back on

inflammation-causing saturated fats; and talk to your doc

about taking a statin.

What about VT Yankee’s Nuclear Waste?

Audrey Famette - Montpelier, VT

Nancy Rice - Randolph Center, VT

High Level Nuclear Waste (HLNW) is a byproduct of

nuclear power plants and is extremely dangerous for thousands

of years. The Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Plant,

located in Vernon, VT has been shut down since 2014 and the

HLNW it produced over the years of operation has been transferred

into stainless steel and concrete dry casks stored onsite.

Currently our federal government has not come up with

a permanent site to store HLNW safely over time.

NorthStar, the corporation which now owns VT Yankee,

wants to transport that waste to a Centralized “Interim”

Storage (CIS) site that it owns in Texas. To transport this

waste is a dangerous proposition since an accident would

likely result in great damage to the environment and the life

forms in the surrounding area. We should only be moving the

material once to a permanent repository. Also, if VT Yankee’s

Never Forget

By Deb Paul

On Friday September 11, 2020, nineteen years ago, marks

the day since the hijacking of four planes that changed the

lives of every American.

As the generation that remembers what they were doing

when they heard of the attack on Pearl Harbor is leaving us.

Those of us who remember where we were when we heard

that President Kennedy had been shot are getting on in years.

But most Americans easily recall what we were doing on that

ordinary day when almost everything we took for granted was

lost.

Most of us will hold forever the images of the twin towers

collapsing on themselves and on those trapped within. Most

of us still marvel at the bravery of the firefighters and police

and ordinary citizens who became unplanned participants in a

disaster of epic proportions.

But most of us no longer think about the many emergency

personnel who responded to the collapsed towers and who are

ill some still not getting treatment because insurance companies

fail to link their illness to the poisons in the air at the

tower site. And most of us don’t spend a lot of time thinking

about the security of our borders not the demonized undocumented

workers from Mexico, but cargo containers uninspected

in our largest ports.

In the wake of the Sept. 11 tragedy, Americans came

together. Political party, religion, personality - all disappeared,

as strangers become neighbors and offered help and

comfort in the midst of the questions that no one can still

answer - why, how come, how is this possible.

Unity was the operative word after Sept. 11, 2001. Still we

are a nation that is bitterly disunited and divided.

A lot of things have change over the years, and a lot remain

the same. We understood the importance of coming together

as one nation. We must remember that today.

Unity is not a sign of weakness. No firefighter asked

whether the workers on the top floors of the towers were

Republican or Democrat, liberal or conservative, Arab or Jew.

None of that mattered. Human beings rushed into the

unknown to help out other human beings. They were doing

their jobs. And they were emblematic of the humanity we all

share - and the opposite of the lack of humanity exhibited by

the terrorists.

No one wants to remember tragedy, but this year, on Sept.

11, we urge you to think about what we lost that day, and what

is important for us to remember in the future.

Lets not forget.

HLNW is allowed to be transported across the country on our

highways, railways, and waterways to a temporary open-air

storage site, such a precedent would likely result in thousands

of shipments across the country as other nuclear plants are

shut down over the coming four decades.

Communities in the Southwest are speaking out in opposition

to accepting our toxic waste. As members of the VT

Yankee Decommissioning Alliance (VYDA), we support their

concerns and are against the transportation and interim storage

of VT Yankee’s waste at a CIS. We feel it is safer to keep

our waste within our state in monitored, hardened, on-site

storage in stainless steel and concrete dry casks while a scientifically-based

permanent storage site is located.

For the above reasons, join us in contacting Congressman

Peter Welch and urge him to vote against any bill that would

authorize Centralized Interim Storage of High Level Nuclear

Waste.

Call to Action: Racial Disparities Panel Urges Lawmakers

to Act on Panel’s Recommendations

Dr. Etan Nasreddin-Longo, chair of the Racial Disparities

in the Criminal and Juvenile Justice System Advisory Panel,

along with Panel members, Executive Director of Racial

Equity Xusana Davis, and Attorney General T.J. Donovan

urged the Legislature to take further action to address racial

disparities and systemic bias in Vermont. The coalition specifically

called on the Legislature to reconsider policy recommendations

outlined by the Panel in their December 2019

report. These recommendations include centralizing a bias

incident complaint process, significantly expanding data collection

efforts, and implementing reforms to reduce racial

profiling.

“This work is general, and it points towards broad areas of

policy change that are needed by many different minoritized

communities in the State,” said Dr. Nasreddin-Longo. “We

will continue to stand by our work until these areas have been

addressed by the Legislature in some fashion that speaks to a

sustained, dedicated, and substantive effort to reduce, and - to

the greatest extent possible - eliminate bias in the criminal and

juvenile justice systems.”

The Panel’s recommendations have already informed

Vermont law. The Justice Reinvestment Act of 2020 (Act 148)

followed some recommendations of the Panel’s 2019 report.

Namely, Act 148 has provided a path for implementation of

data collection reform. It also requests recommendations from

stakeholders to support more robust and consistent reporting.

The coalition recognized the work done so far but urged further

legislative action on the Panel’s recommendations.

The Panel’s report, presented to the Legislative Joint

Justice Oversight Committee in December 2019, provides

recommendations to address systemic implicit bias in

Vermont’s criminal and juvenile justice system. These recommendations

include creating a public complaint process to

address perceived implicit bias across all systems of State

government, proposals to decrease the frequency of racial

profiling, and expanding law enforcement race data collection

practices.

The report also discusses root causes of racial disparities

and summarizes the Panel’s extensive policy considerations.

The Panel’s membership is made up of representatives of

communities of color from around Vermont, as well as State

officials working in the administration of Vermont’s criminal

and juvenile justice systems, including Dr. Etan Nasreddin-

Longo, Chair of the Panel, Jessica Brown, Chittenden County

Public Defender’s Office, Geoffrey Jones, Former Vermont

State Police Trooper, Shela Linton, Co-founder and Program

Director of the Root Social Justice Center, Chief Don Stevens,

Nulhegan Band of the Coosuk - Abenaki Nation, Jennifer

Firpo, Criminal Justice Training Council, Judge Brian

Grearson, Chief Superior Judge, James Pepper, Department of

State’s Attorneys and Sheriffs, David Scherr, Attorney

General’s Office, Captain Julie Scribner, Vermont State

Police, Captain Garry Scott, Vermont State Police, Rebecca

Turner, Office of the Defender General, Geoffrey Pippenger,

Department of Children and Families, and Monica Weeber,

Department of Corrections. The Panel was created by the

Legislature and is organized under the Attorney General’s

Office.

New ‘Social Autopsy’ Report Examines Drug Overdose Trends in Vermont

The Vermont Department of Health has released the state’s

first Social Autopsy Report, an in-depth look at how those

who died of a drug-related overdose interacted with state

agencies, and where improvements in the state’s efforts can be

made. The release coincides with the observance of

International Opioid Awareness Day.

The Social Autopsy report examines data from 2017, when

109 Vermonters died of an accidental or undetermined drug

overdose. The report found that of those who did, nearly all

had an interaction with at least one agency in the years before

they died (98%). Two-thirds interacted with three or more

state agencies, including the Vermont Department for Children

and Families and the Department of Vermont Health Access.

Funded under the Centers for Disease Control and

Prevention’s Overdose Data to Action grant, the Health

Department partnered with the Departments of Corrections,

Children and Families, Vermont Health Access (Medicaid),

and Public Safety to analyze each department’s data.

That review found that many Vermonters who died of a

drug overdose in 2017 had complex needs as well as varied

physical and mental health conditions. They also were prescribed

more controlled substances than the Vermont population

in general and had multiple interactions with Emergency

Medical Services.

“Any overdose death is one too many,” said Health

Commissioner Mark Levine, MD. “This report will be a valuable

resource in our ongoing work to improve how we can

help people with substance use disorders and those struggling

with addiction,” Dr. Levine said. “And we do this knowing

these are people and not data points. These are friends, neighbors

and loved ones we have lost.”

Overall, people most frequently had some contact with the

Vermont Prescription Monitoring Program (VPMS) – 84%

had at least one prescription for a controlled substance

between 2012 and 2017. The VPMS is used to support and

coordinate clinical care and substance misuse prevention, and

to assist in understanding the patterns of controlled substance

prescribing and dispensing in Vermont. The report also found

that 82% interacted with Vermont State Police between 1988

and 2017.

Dr. Levine emphasized the report is especially relevant

The Graduate (1967)

Poor Benjamin Braddock (Dustin Hoffman).

He just graduated from the prestigious East Coast college

of his choice. Now he’s back home in suburban Los

Angeles, living rent-free in his parents’ house. Ben has no

pressure to get a job, so he lounges in the pool by day and

drives around in his Italian sports car by night.

But poor Ben – poor baby – he isn’t happy. He’s concerned

about his future. Boo-hoo.

If he could manage to take his head out of his rear end for

just a few minutes, he might think about the poorer boys his

age who were drafted and fighting in Vietnam. He might think

about the people in his own city who are penned up in bad

neighborhoods because they had the misfortune of being born

with different color skin. But Ben is far too self-absorbed for

feelings like perspective and empathy.

“The Graduate” is a strange movie that hasn’t aged well.

Buck Henry’s script is original, engaging, and sometimes

amusing. But the characters are poorly written, the plot is

improbable, and the lead character is deeply contemptible.

You probably know the story. Ben’s dad’s law partner is Mr.

Robinson. One night, Mrs. Robinson (Anne Bancroft) seduces

Ben. Ben is into it and they begin meeting nightly at a nearby

hotel.

Hey, I made plenty of mistakes with women growing up,

too, so I’m not judging 21-year old Ben too hard.

However, Ben goes from regular selfish kid to legendary

super jerk when he goes on a date with the Robinsons’ daughter

Elaine.

The one date goes pretty well and Ben decides that they are

going to get married. Elaine, it seems, doesn’t get a say in the

matter.

Also, Ben never considers how ludicrous it is to marry a

now – with opioid-related fatalities at a markedly higher rate

when compared to last year. In June 2019, Vermont reported

48 such fatalities since the beginning of the year. 2020 preliminary

data shows there have been 72 overdose-related

deaths this year as of June. “Opioids are powerful drugs and

affect people differently,” said Dr. Levine. “Anyone can

become addicted and be at risk of an overdose.”

Noting that Vermont has made tremendous progress over

the years addressing the opioid crisis, Dr. Levine said the state

has a moral obligation to keep focused on doing everything

we can to prevent drug overdoses. “We will use this report to

inform our policies and programs to keep Vermonters alive, so

they can get the treatment and supports they need, wherever

they are, to succeed in their recovery.”

Recommendations in the Social Autopsy Report include:

• Improving data collection and analysis

• Establishing and enhancing linkages to treatment and care

• Further integrating state and local response efforts

The state is also applying new COVID-19 emergency

funding to support Substance Use and Mental Health services:

• Vermont received a $2 million SAMHSA federal emergency

grant to make sure people with mental health and substance

use disorders can access care during the COVID-19

pandemic.

• The Departments of Health and Mental Health will use

the funds to expand services and supports for Vermonters who

need them.

• The grant will also allow for increased access to mental

health care for health care workers.

woman when you’ve broken up her parents’ marriage. Elaine

has considered that, though, and she leaves abruptly to go

away to Berkeley.

And that’s when Ben becomes a stalker. There’s a fine line

between self-absorbed and dangerously obsessive, and Dustin

Hoffman’s character crosses it in the last act.

By the way, there is nothing wrong with a movie having a

selfish, awful lead character. The problem with “The Graduate”

is that I can’t tell whether we are supposed to sympathize with

Ben or loathe him and root for his downfall.

That isn’t just a problem of clarity on the part of director

Mike Nichols; that’s a problem of morality. Entitled rich guys

who view women as possessions are a menace to society.

Dustin Hoffman’s character needs to be seen as a miserable

villain, not a hero who wins in the end with his greatest act of

selfishness.

It all starts with gratitude. If you are 21, healthy, and have

parents who support you, stop feeling sorry for yourself. Quit

moping, count your blessings, and get a job.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19)

Cupid is strong in the Aries aspect

this week, with the cherub opening

romantic possibilities for single

Lambs, and strengthening ties

‘twixt loving pairs already in a caring relationship.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Your dramatic flair might

make things more interesting as you recount an event to

your colleagues. But be careful not to exaggerate reality

to the point that facts and fancy combine to form fiction.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You love to talk, and this

week you should get lots of chances to share your thoughts

with people who will not only pay attention to what you

have to say, but will want to hear more.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) The pattern of recent changes

could begin to shift from mostly workplace-related

events to more personal matters. Continue to keep an open

mind as you prepare to deal with them.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) Reward yourself for what’s

sure to be a dynamic week with a getaway to someplace

wonderful, hopefully with a wonderful someone. You’ll

return refreshed and ready for what’s ahead.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) You might want to

suggest resolving an old disagreement before it can affect a

matter expected to come up for discussion. It’s always best

to start with a clean slate.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) The week favors

combining dollops of creativity and practicality to work

out both professional and personal problems. A longtime

friend could have something of note to suggest.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Some surprising

facts could come to light if you decide to probe deeper into

an “opportunity” than you might usually do. What you’ll

learn could determine what you’ll earn.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Someone

close to you might seek your counsel. Hear him/her out, but

hold the line at giving actual advice until you get credible

answers to all your questions.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) What seems

to be an overwhelming workplace project can be dealt with

quite well if you handle one category at a time. Things will

soon begin to fall into place.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) A personal matter

might need more of your time than you had expected.

Try to prioritize between your many outside commitments

and your domestic responsibilities.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) A developing situation

still needs more time to grow, and more time to study before

you can plunge in and make some attention-getting

waves. Patience is best for wise Pisceans.

BORN THIS WEEK: You have a gift for organization that

would make you a fine archivist. (Are you listening out

there, Library of Congress?)

SPEAKING OUT | The WORLD

What did you want to be when you grew up?

Abigail J., Barre.

A veternarian!

Bailey K., Barre

A CSI. I still love all the

programs on this subject.

Alicia C., Barre

An attorney. I even interviewed

a local attorney about what

would be involved.

Jasmine D., West Danville

A nurse or an accountant!

Katelyn R., Hardwick

A hairdresser. I work on my

family’s hair now.

Brian L., Marshfield. A composer of

classical music and movie scoring. I almost

went to Berkley to study music more

intently...my brother did exactly that!

Alanna F., Cabot

I wanted to be a pumpkin

farmer. My father grew them and

I was good at selling them!

Cody H., Greensboro Bend

To follow in my father’s footsteps

and be the manager of a store like

the one I’m working at now (Hall’s

Market in Hardwick).

Chris B., Northfield Falls

A lot of things like a world

traveler or an explorer. So far I’ve

been to the Carribean, Canada

and as far west as Colorado and

a few other states. Much more to

see, that’s for sure.

Bob S., Northfield Falls

Always wanted to be a chef! My

mother got me started in

cooking and I went to the CIA

to become a full chef.

Brenda S., Northfield Falls

Believe it or not a beautician.

Instead I did all my work in

cooking, baking and

waitressing.

Rick D., Plainfield. Wealthy!

It just didn’t happen yet. I do

have my health and that means

more than all the money in the

world.

Susan H., Middlesex

When I was really young I

wanted to be a ballerina or

opera singer.

Tim H., Middlesex.

A loving husband and

gentleman farmer...I did it!!!

Keyboard-Loving Cat Sees

Computer as Rival

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: Whenever

I’m videoconferencing from home,

my cat insists on jumping into my

lap and pawing at the screen and the

keyboard. If I put him outside the

room, he will meow loudly and nonstop

until I let him back in. Once the

call is finished, he quiets down and goes away. To my coworkers,

this is just a funny distraction, but I worry that it

will have a negative impression on clients. How can I calm

him down? -- Melanie in Pittsburgh

DEAR MELANIE: This is a tough one that many cat owners

have faced. And now that so many of us are exclusively

working from home, it’s going to continue -- unless

you take some proactive steps.

Cats jump onto your keyboard because they know it gets

your attention. They’re not trying to figure out how to

write social media posts. They just want you to pay as

much attention to them as you do to the laptop screen. And

locking a cat out of the room can trigger separation anxiety

or just plain frustration that they can’t get in to be with you.

Try this: Before a video call, give your cat 10 to 20

minutes of undivided attention. Pet him, play with his

favorite toys, scratch his belly. This may help stop or

reduce the number of times he jumps into your lap.

Use positive reinforcement to teach your cat to do more

of what you want and less of the things you don’t want him

to do. To learn more about this training method, go to

napahumane.org and search for “cats, positive reinforcement

training.” Its basic premise is to reward your cat

when he does something right.

PET OF THE WEEK

Tigger is a big, bashful boy who seeks an adopter

who can give him a life of luxury and care that he

deserves. Tigger seeks an adopter who can purchase a

special wet food that helps male cats with urinary

issues as he is currently being treated for a UTI and

should continue with a urinary prescription food for life.

Tigger will give a head butt once he's settled in and

comfortable, but is expected to hide while transitioning

into his new place. He is sharing a cat colony room

currently and doesn't mind his feline companion; we do

not know if he has child or canine experience. This boy

needs TLC; can you provide for this sweet soul?

THANK YOU FOR SAYING

I SAW IT IN

What is octane and should it affect

drivers’ decisions at the pump?

Anyone who has ever driven

their vehicles into a filling station

is no doubt familiar with the word

“octane.” But few drivers may know

what octane refers to and how it

might affect their vehicles.

According to Kelley Blue Book®, octane is

a colorless component that boils at high temperatures.

Octane is added to fuels, including

gasoline used in vehicles, to eliminate preignition

in combustion engines. The higher the

octane rating, which is a measure of a fuel’s

ability to resist “knocking” or “pinging,” the

less likely the fuel is going to explode unexpectedly.

In fact, KBB notes that gasoline

with a high octane rating can withstand more

compression than gas with a low octane rating.

So what does this mean for the average

driver when he or she arrives at the pump

and has to choose between 87, 89 or 93 octane

gasoline? Likely very little. The U.S.

Department of Energy notes that most gasoline

vehicles are designed to run on 87 octane

gasoline. However, some vehicles are still designed

to run on higher octane fuel, so drivers

should always consult their owners’ manuals

to determine which octane is best for their vehicles.

Using a lower octane fuel than the one

mentioned by the vehicle manufacturer can

damage the engine over time. The DOE even

notes that using a fuel with an octane rating

other than the one recommended by the vehicle

manufacturer may actually void the warranty.

That gives drivers even greater incentive

to consult their owner’s manuals before

filling up for the first time.

Drivers may wonder if using a higher octane

fuel than the one recommended by their

car’s manufacturer will improve performance.

And in certain instances, it might. The DOE

notes that higher octane fuel may improve

performance and gas mileage and reduce carbon

emissions when towing or carrying heavy

loads. However, there’s typically no such benefit

hen driing in normal conditions.

Drivers encounter octane anytime they visit

a filling station. earning more about octane

and what it does for vehicles can help drivers

become more informed motorists.

Homeowners know that the

process of buying a home

can be both exciting and

nervewracking. The anxiety

associated with buying a home

has hit new heights during

the outbreak of the novel

coronavirus COVID-19.

Historically low interest rates and limited inventory has

made 2020 an especially unique time to buy a home. It’s

also a competitive and potentially expensive time to buy

a home. While the economic consequences of COVID-19

have been severe, the Federal National Mortgage Association

also non as annie Mae forecasted a significant

increase in median home prices in March 2020. City dwellers

have scrambled to buy homes outside of cities, where social

distancing is more difficult and the ris of getting

appears greater than it is in suburban or rural settings. That’s

led to a lot of competition among prospective buyers.

Prospective home buyers willing to enter the hectic fray

and shop for a home during the COVID-19 outbreak may

benefit from noing hat to epect as they search for their

next home.

• Get ready for virtual tours. Buyers might once have scoffed

at the notion of buying a home they’d only seen in videos,

but virtual tours have become the new normal in the wake of

the pandemic. An April survey from the National Association

of Realtors® found that home tours had declined sharply.

While 98 percent of realtors reported taking clients on home

tours as recently as February, that number had declined to

63 percent by April. As many regions pause their reopening

plans, prospective home buyers should ready themselves for

virtual tours as opposed to in-person home tours.

• Expect limited inventory. While home prices are up, many

people are holding onto their homes. The NAR reports that

total housing inventory at the end of May 2020 was down

nearly 19 percent from the end of May 2019. Buyers will

have less inventory to choose from, so those intent on buying

may need to prioritize what they need in a home and focus on

finding properties that can fulfill those needs.

• Expect to move quickly. Realtors have seen homes sell

within days of being listed, and that has put pressure on

buyers to move quickly. It also highlights the importance of

finding a home inspector before your search begins as ell as

a lender who can handle quick closings. Ask around for recommendations,

but make sure you have these two important

professionals lined up before beginning your search. Doing

so will give you a better chance of buying in an unusual time.

• Make the best down payment you can afford. A high down

payment makes buyers look better no matter the state of the

economy. An offer with a high down payment looks like a

stronger offer, and that can make the difference between winning

and losing a potential bidding war.

Buying a home during the COVID-19 outbreak presents

some unique challenges to prospective buyers.

How home design trends are evolving for social distancing

COVID-19 has brought changes to

everything, and home design is no exception.

Experts are expecting to see lasting impacts

on everything from the materials we use to

the rooms we prioritize. Check out these and

other noteworthy trends:

Houses over apartments: Many people who live in condos

or apartments do so to be closer to the action — work, entertainment

and shops — and never planned on spending much

time at home. But the pandemic has changed that, and more

people are going to want a home that offers plenty of room

and outdoor space in case they need to self-isolate again.

Selfsufficiency A hard lesson ee learned is that things

and serices e thought e could count on arent necessarily

a sure thing, so items that increase self-reliance will become

very popular. Expect to see more homes with sources of

energy lie solar panels sources of heat lie fireplaces and

stoves, and even urban and indoor gardens that allow you to

grow your own produce.

Outdoor living: Between playgrounds closing and parks

becoming overcrowded, many of us are turning to our

balconies, patios and backyards for fresh air and nature.

This means ere going to be inesting more in our outdoor

spaces, with functional kitchens, soothing water features,

coy firepits and highuality outdoor furniture to create a

much-needed escape.

Healthier spaces: Thanks to spending more time indoors

and reprioritiing our health ell turn to design to help

ensure our homes are safe and healthy for our families. ell

see a rise in products lie ater filtration systems as ell as

materials that improve indoor air quality. For new homes

and additions, alternatives to wood-framing like insulated

concrete forms from Nudura, which offer improved ventilation

for healthier indoor air quality and an environment

thats less susceptible to mold ill be ey.

ome office space usiness eperts are suggesting many

companies will see that working from home is not only possible

but offers tangible benefits lie saing money on office

space rent. With working from home on the rise, creating a

home office space that inspires productiity ill be a maor

proect many of us tacle. uury home office furniture that

feels chic and blends into your décor as well as ergonomic

chairs and desks will see a major boost.

Custom and quality: With the hit to the economy, people

are going to be buying less, but what they do buy will be

better quality, while at the same time making an effort to

support American businesses. When it comes to design,

trends will shift to locally made furniture, custom-built

homes and pieces and materials that stand the test of time.

Small Business Trends

When you think about or discuss locally

owned businesses, you are actually also

talking about small businesses. Small

businesses (businesses with 500 employees

or less) account for 99.7 percent of all

business in the country and provide 67

percent of the nation’s jobs, according to the

United States Small Business Administration

and the Chamber of Commerce of the

United States of America.

Here are nine additional facts about small businesses you

should know.

• The 2008 recession was part of a major economic downturn

worldwide and the worst recession in the United States since

the Great Depression in the 1930s. Small business has been a

crucial part of the nation’s recovery — providing 60 percent

of all jobs created between 2009 and 2013, according to the

Small Business Administration.

• However, new small businesses have a high failure rate at
