Vidste du, at Yiddish kan redde dagen? Læs hvordan en jødisk dreng fra Bronx chokerede en Vermont sælger!

Når man tænker på Vermont, forestiller man sig ofte idyl, egetræer og sneklædte bjerge. Men en særlig historie fra Avram Patt, tidligere statsrepræsentant i Vermont, giver et sjovt indblik i, hvordan man kan overraske nogen i de mest uventede situationer. Patt fortæller om en begivenhed, hvor en ung jødisk dreng fra Bronx kom til Vermont og forlod sin sælger helt målløs med et par velplacerede Yiddish ord. Hvem vidste, at gamle sprog kan have så stor betydning i dagligdagen?

Samtidig befinder sig Vermont Castings i en udfordrende situation med mange ansatte sendt på orlov. Denne nyhed rammer især dem, der er afhængige af de populære brændeovne, skabt af Vermont Castings, der har været en hovedpille for hyggelige Vermont-aftener. Det sætter fokus på, hvordan den lokale økonomi påvirkes af større virkeligheder, og hvordan samfundet arbejder sammen for at finde løsninger.

I mellemtiden er der glædelige nyheder for alle, der elsker en god handel – de kommende feriemarkeder i Vermont! Der er intet som at kaste sig ud i en europæisk-stil outdoor markedsplads i Burlington eller fejre små virksomheders succes ved festlige arrangementer. Med så mange unikke tilbud er det en perle af sæsonbestemt shopping, som ingen ønsker at gå glip af!

Derudover har Vermonts klinikere sendt et stærkt budskab om vigtigheden af at prioritere videnskab og beviser i sundhedsvæsenet. Mens mange nyder det eventyr, de finder i skovene, er der stadig behov for at være opmærksom på alvorlige emner som sundhed og videnskab, der også spiller en vigtig rolle.

Vidste du, at Vermont kan prale af at have en af de bedste bevaringshistorier? I 1969 blev en dristig plan for at genoprette de vilde kalkuner i Vermont iværksat, og denne indsats resulterede i en succeshistorie, der kan tilskrives samfundets engagement og bevaringsindsats. Og hvis du troede, vejrforholdene var milde i Vermont, så tro om igen! Icy road conditions har skabt forvirring på vejene og mindet os om, at det at køre på landets veje kan være en udfordring, især når sneen falder!
