SBA fetes success of Vanished Valley Brewing in Ludlow

LUDLOW — Federal officials (figuratively) lifted their glasses and toasted Vanished Valley Brewing Co., recognized on Monday morning as a small business success story. The Ludlow brewery welcomed U.S. Small Business Administration officials, U.S. Rep. Richard E. Neal, D-Springfield, and local dignitaries as the SBA marks its 69th anniversary this month. Having first brewed its beers in a building the size of a two-car garage in 2016, Vanished Valley co-owners Joshua Britton, Manny Vital, and Sarah and Michael Rodrigues built a 4,000-square-foot brewery three years later next to the restaurant that had once housed Europa Black Rock Bar and Grille. The brewery funded its expansion with SBA-guaranteed 504 loans from Freedom Credit Union and Bay Colony Certified Development Corp. It increased their annual production limited from 22,000 gallons to 119,000. A month after the grand opening of the brewery/ tap room/ kitchen at 782 Center St. in February 2020, the pandemic hit and shuttered many businesses for good. The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, also known as the CARES Act, which Neal co-authored, provided $2.2 trillion in economic assistance to businesses like Vanished Valley with its Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) and Economic Injury Disaster Loans. “The PPP loans we secured were a massive amount to help to us,” Britton said. “We had a very interesting journey and it has not been easy at all. We got off the runway in early ‘20 and then March hit and we had to pivot real quick.” He added, “The state allowed us to deliver beer door-to-door and our distribution model really took off. Our phone was ringing off the hook. Vanished Valley successfully redirected its operations from the planned draft beers and table service to the delivery of canned beer and foods. Its beers, including its flagship New England-style IPAs Pomona and Watershed, are now not only available statewide, but in parts of Rhode Island and New Hampshire. “The SBA and Freedom Credit Union deferred (loan) payments for us and played an integral part in our surviving,” Britton said. Mike Vlacich, SBA New England regional administrator, credited Neal, chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, and SBA district director Bob Nelson fo their response to the needs of small businesses when the pandemic hit. “(They) made sure jobs stayed whole and that businesses were able to stay in place,” Vlacich said. “We couldn’t do this without (Neal’s) skill, acumen and know-how. He has been the architect of so many of the key pieces to this unprecedented economic recovery.” Neal noted how the Democratic-led Congress quickly reacted to the pandemic warnings made on March 11, 2020 by Dr. Anthony Fauci, chief medical advisor to the president. “Within three months, America lost 22 million jobs. Speaker (Nancy) Pelosi and I and Secretary (of Treasury Steven) Mnuchin at the time wrote the CARES Act in eight days — brought to the floor, passed the House, passed the Senate and signed by the former president,” Neal recalled. “Two years later, every job is back and there are 11.2 million vacancies…. it’s an incredible statistic.” He added, “The HEORES Act, we wrote, and President Joe Biden’s Rescue package… (has) put money into the hands of people who needed it.” https://ift.tt/XICe3ak https://ift.tt/hKU5Cmf

It is beneficial to evaluate the offerings offered by different mortgage brokers. There are numerous mortgage brokers on the internet who carry out the process and give advice completely online. Alternatively, there are the traditional mortgage brokers who conduct meeting with clients face-to-face or over the phone. Some brokers can combine both. Think about what is important to you and find the broker that most closely matches your needs.

See reviews

It is easy to find cheap rhode island mortgage rates through word-of-mouth and by reading reviews from customers. You can read reviews about mortgage brokers on their websites. But you can also find out what other customers have to say about them on social media, as well as on review sites like Trustpilot and Google.

Be aware, however, that you cannot always be 100% sure of the validity of a review. You might find someone writing about a bad experience or embellishing the truth. Or it could be written by someone with a vendetta against the company or person, or someone with a vested stake in the company's success. Do not believe that every review is authentic. Instead look for patterns in different reviews. If a specific positive or negative continuously pops in numerous reviews, you'll be sure that it's true.

Available

Your schedule is one of the most crucial things to consider when looking for best rhode island mortgage broker. Compare brokers to find out how quickly they can start working on your case. Take note of how this ties in to your timeframe for when you'd like to have your application ideally completed.

Don't be afraid to trust your gut

Once you've evaluated brokers based on their service or payment, and their reputation, you could have a selection to pick between. In this instance, it's essential to follow your sense of. Moving is a major moment that you will have to deal with in your daily life. Additionally, you will be communicating financial details with your broker. This is why you must feel at ease working with them, otherwise it can make the process more difficult for you.

With a little help from the National's Aaron Dessner, Taylor Swift may have just released the best album of 2020

Rating: 5 Stars

Taylor Swift has had high profile disputes with several of her peers — and her beef with Kanye West goes back years. The troubled rapper — an unlikely candidate for the US Presidency — was rumoured to release a new album this weekend. It hasn’t arrived. Was stealing West’s thunder what prompted Swift to release this surprise eighth album now?

Admitting to overthinking when the optimum time to release music is, she says the pandemic inspired her to be more spontaneous. Whatever the reason, Folklore is a remarkable statement of intent – a sprawling, 16-track collection that makes a good case for itself as the best Taylor Swift album to date.

It was apparently written and recorded during lockdown and it finds the Pennsylvania native collaborating with a host of America’s left-field and indie talents. Aaron Dessner, guitarist with The National — a band beloved among Irish audiences — has co-written several of the songs and is credited as co-producer. He’s an inspired choice, as anyone who has heard his production work on Lisa Hannigan’s most recent album will attest to.

She also retains the services of Jack Antonoff as writer and producer. He’s someone who has helped her straddle the line between global superstar with mass appeal and a damn good singer-songwriter keen to salvage her identity from the altar of pop homogeneity, not least on her last album, Lover, which came out less than a year ago.

The first syllable of Folklore hints at Swift’s new direction. At turns meditative, whimsical and pastoral, these songs are worlds away from the glittering pop that has marked her narrative since her 2012 album Red. These are folk songs with a light pop dusting and a mature suite to compliment her 2015 masterpiece, 1989, which was given a track-by-track alt-country reinterpretation by Ryan Adams that same year.

There’s very little of the bombastic arrangements that have characterised her oeuvre in recent times. Instead, the music is pared back – much of it built around piano and subtly textured electronica. Her voice, always a gloriously expressive instrument, is given room to shine and it does so from the start.

The opening four songs represent the best 15 minutes or so of any album released in 2020. There’s the beautiful, stately ‘The 1’ which looks back on an old relationship and seeks to celebrate what made it special rather than what drove the lovers apart.

On the piano-led ‘Cardigan’, she sounds uncannily like Lana Del Rey – no bad thing. ‘The Last Great American Dynasty’ is one of several songs that finds her in storytelling mode, imagining the lives of others — on this occasion, the trials and tribulations of an heiress called Rebekah West Harkness, whose old Rhode Island mansion Swift purchased some years ago.

The fourth track, Exile, is among the best songs of her career — a gorgeous duet with Wisconsin troubadour Justin Vernon, aka Bon Iver. Vernon, incidentally, has previously collaborated with Kanye West, but this is a union that yields better results.

Throughout Folklore Swift relies on the songwriting smarts of herself and her collaborators, rather than studio pyrotechnics. And yet, the album is sumptuously recorded — listen to the sonic perfection of the tracks ‘Mirrorball’ and ‘Seven’ which demonstrate that even during a time of social distancing, technology is such that remote collaboration does not have to mean diminished quality.

Swift has the standing and means to call on whomever she chooses, but the guests here are picked for their musical talents rather than their name. Besides Dessner, Antonoff and Vernon, The National’s Bryce Dessner (Aaron’s brother) and Bryan Devendorf appear, as does Thomas Bartlett, the prolific pianist and one-fifth of Irish trad supergroup the Gloaming.

Such august company help to ensure the high standards, but Swift is front and centre of everything. Perhaps it’s time for those who have dismissed her as just another production-line singer to realise what many already know: she’s not just one of the greatest pop stars of her generation, she’s one of the finest tunesmiths too.

At 30, and with a substantial body of work already behind her, Folklore is Swift telling the world in no uncertain terms that she will be around for a long time to come. And good on her.

Oregon Decriminalizes Small Amounts of Heroin and Cocaine; Four States Legalize Marijuana

Should your state government decriminalize small amounts of heroin and cocaine, making possession a fine equivalent to a traffic ticket rather than jail time: (1) Yes, (2) No? Why? What are the ethics underlying your decision?

The march to decriminalize drugs moved further across the nation on Tuesday despite continued federal prohibition.

Oregon became the first state to decriminalize small amounts of cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine and other drugs. And in New Jersey, South Dakota, Montana and Arizona, voters decisively passed laws legalizing recreational marijuana. Cannabis is now legal across a large bloc of states in the West — from Washington down to the Mexican border — and well beyond.

Cannabis was also on the ballot in Mississippi. If all of the marijuana measures pass, marijuana will be legal for medical use in three dozen states and recreational use will be allowed in 15.

The Oregon measure makes possession of small amounts of what have long been considered harder drugs a violation, similar to a traffic ticket, and no longer punishable by jail time. The law also funds drug addiction treatment from marijuana sales taxes.

“This is incredible,” said Kassandra Frederique, executive director of the advocacy group Drug Policy Alliance. “This is like taking a sledgehammer to the cornerstone of the drug war.”

Possession of larger amounts could result in misdemeanor charges, and some cases that rise to what is considered a commercial level could still be charged as felonies.

Ms. Frederique said passage of the measure showed that voters were eager for a new approach on drug policy to handle it as a health issue and prioritize treatment. She said she expected other states to follow suit, mentioning efforts in states such as California, Vermont and Washington.

Separately, Oregon voters also legalized psilocybin, known as magic mushrooms, for people age 21 and older. Proponents said the move would allow the drug to be used to treat depression, anxiety and other conditions.

Even in a year when the number of citizen initiatives in states across the country was sharply down from the last presidential election, the diverse slate of measures offered a chance to gauge the mood of the nation.

In California voters decided to maintain a ban on affirmative action. The ban, passed in 1996, applies mainly to public employment, education and government contracts. It prohibits state and local governments from granting preferential treatment on the basis of race, sex, color, ethnicity or national origin.

In Florida, where the two presidential candidates were within a few points of each other, voters decisively approved a pro-labor amendment to the Constitution that will raise the minimum wage incrementally to $15 an hour by 2026.

Florida becomes the eighth state to enact a minimum wage of $15, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures, but it is the first state that Donald J. Trump carried in the 2016 presidential election to do so. The District of Columbia has also enacted a $15 minimum wage.

Florida’s measure, known as Amendment 2, earned a place on Tuesday’s ballot last December and needed at least 60 percent of the vote to pass. With 99 percent of ballots counted, the measure had slightly more than 61 percent in favor.

Under the measure, the state minimum wage will rise to $10 an hour next September from the current rate of $8.56, and then will increase by another $1 each September through 2026. After that, annual increases would be tied to inflation.

A study by the Florida Policy Institute, a research organization backing the increase, found that the higher wage would directly benefit 2.5 million workers in the state.

The amendment was supported by unions and the Miami-Dade Democratic Party and was opposed by business organizations representing construction companies, citrus farmers, hotels and restaurants.

In a defeat for labor advocates, however, California voters passed Proposition 22, a measure promoted by gig-economy companies like Uber, Lyft and DoorDash that allows them to treat their drivers as independent contractors, rather than as employees entitled to a variety of protections under state labor law.

In Illinois, voters defeated an amendment championed by Gov. J.B. Pritzker that would have increased tax revenue by replacing the state’s flat income tax of 4.95 percent with graduated taxes that would range from 4.75 percent to 7.99 percent. The defeat could lead to a downgrading of the state’s credit ratings to junk status.

In Louisiana, a measure supported by two anti-abortion Democrats, Gov. John Bel Edwards and State Senator Katrina Jackson, passed comfortably. Amendment 1 adds these words to the State Constitution: “Nothing in this constitution shall be construed to secure or protect a right to abortion, or require the funding of abortion.”

But in Colorado, voters soundly defeated a proposal to ban abortions after 22 weeks of gestation.

Two measures addressed historical legacies. In Mississippi, voters approved a new state flag with red, yellow and blue stripes, a magnolia flower and the words “In God We Trust.” The state’s previous flag, which dated to 1894 and contained a Confederate battle cross, was decommissioned by lawmakers in June. And in the Northeast, voters agreed to change the official name of the State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations to simply Rhode Island. Supporters of the change said the reference to plantations resonated with the painful legacy of slavery.

Those in favor of overhauling criminal justice were victorious on two measures in California. Voters approved Proposition 17, which will restore the right to vote for felons on parole, and they rejected Proposition 20, which would have rolled back earlier measures that allow early parole consideration for people convicted of certain felonies. Both measures were supported by former Gov. Jerry Brown.

Voters in California also rejected a law that would have abolished cash bail and replaced it with computer-driven risk assessment of a suspect. Opponents of the law included California chapters of the N.A.A.C.P., who argued that the algorithms that will decide who is allowed pretrial freedom may work against people of color and those from poorer areas.

There were 38 statewide citizen initiatives being decided across the country on Tuesday, about half as many as in 2016, when there were 72. Experts attribute the decline to the effect of the coronavirus pandemic, which has made gathering signatures more difficult. When all measures are accounted for, including those placed on the ballot by legislatures, there were a total of 124 statewide ballot initiatives this year, down from 154 four years ago.

But even in a year with fewer initiatives California had many substantive ones. In a measure closely watched by the technology industry, voters agreed to establish a stand-alone state privacy watchdog, the first in the nation to do so.

The measure, Proposition 24, is intended to strengthen and clarify the California Consumer Privacy Act, a sweeping new law that took effect this year and gives people in the state the right to see, delete and stop the sale of the personal information that companies have compiled about them. Once the new agency is set up, it will be in charge of enforcing the consumer privacy law.
