They plan to introduce a short menu of appetizers in the near future. They welcome you to come down and watch your favorite sports team play or just to socialize. Don, Celine and Michelle look forward to hosting your private parties or receptions and are excited about future special events and ac-tivities at the tavern.

In a check presentation ceremony at Project Independence in Barre last week, Gov. Peter Shumlin announced that 41 businesses have already taken advantage of the newly created loan program to help with losses related to recent flooding. Loans ranging from $5,000 for equipment replacement to the maximum $25,000 for struc-tural repairs have been awarded since the pro-gram was launched last Monday. The businesses are located in communities including Barre, Cabot, Shelburne, Danville, Burlington, Montpelier, Essex Junction and St. Albans.“These businesses needed financial assistance quickly to replace equipment, repair damaged buildings and make other repairs needed to stay open or to reopen after the floods,” said Gov. Shumlin. “I’m really pleased that we were able to get employers the help they needed so quick-ly.”The loans are being administered by the Vermont Economic Development Authority. Jo Bradley, Chief Executive Officer at VEDA, said her office is moving quickly to approve the requests – a total of 14 have already received checks totaling $307,000. If all loans currently in process are approved, the program will have loaned a total of $914,260. Three businesses, Project Independence, the Barre Health & Wellness Clinic and Family Memorials, Inc. of Barre attended last week's check presentation event. No businesses have been denied a loan at this point, although two were withdrawn because they were not commercial businesses, according to VEDA’s statutory definition, Bradley said.“VEDA staff has really been amazing,” Bradley said. “They have jumped right in to help these businesses. It is gratifying to see many of the business owners so overjoyed to get this assistance.”The loan program was the result of serious damage sustained by Vermont businesses from flooding that began in April and continued into this month. Gov. Shumlin asked the Emergency Board to approve $1 million toward the program and VEDA estimates that it will be able to lever-age these funds at least three to one. The loans require no interest or payments for one year and 1 percent interest for the following five years.

Flood Help Center Opens in Barre
In response to the need for a hub of operations to provide resources for flood victims, last week saw the opening of the Central Vermont Flood Recovery Resource Center on Main Street in Barre. The center is primarily staffed by a collec-tive effort of the Green Mountain United Way, Retired Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP), Central Vermont Community Action Council, ReSOURCE, the Red Cross and the Good Samaritan Haven, with many other area agencies providing support throughout the week. The pri-mary purpose of the Center is to house all resources, applications and informational flyers in one location, while also providing flood vic-tims with a knowledgeable person to speak with about their specific challenges.“We are very pleased that this center has been able to improve the lives of central Vermonters affected by the flood,” says Becky Raymond, Community Impact Director for the Green Mountain United Way. “There are many indi-viduals and families in need of help and the agencies and city officials have really stepped up to the plate in this time of need.” The Flood Help Center is located at 126 North Main Street in Barre next to Wobby Jewelers and is open Monday through Friday from 8am to 7pm, and Saturday and Sunday from 9am to 1pm. The center phone number is 479-4526.

ith all the primers available today, how do I know what primer to use?
There are a lot of primers available today and they all have specific applications.We usually recommend latex primer for most outside work, except over red cedar clapboards or number two pine. For that we recommend exterior oil primer. For sheetrock and plaster we usually suggest a latex primer. For sealing up old wallpaper we have a low odor oil base primer. We also have zero VOC primers. Specialty primers for rust, mildew, lead encapsulation, and even primer for cabinets and paneling. As you can see, there are a lot of options. We asseseach situation separately. Why not bring your primer questions to True Color. We will be glad to recommend the right primer for your project.
True Colors is an independent locally owned Benjamin Moore Dealer and we have been making your colors right since 1989!
