I buy local, go to the farmers market and try and keep money in the community; it helps strengthen the local market.

I used to own a business in my community. It provided jobs and I gave credit to people when they didn't have any money to buy food and other necessities.

I've cleaned 100- to 200-year-old gravestones in Vienna. I've done it a few times now, because no one else really takes care of them. I do it every Memorial Day weekend. I tidy up a couple others [cemeteries] too.

I do work for [Norway landlord] Madeline Pratt, such as shoveling and mowing the lawn. I also do it for friends, too.

I am just about to open a music studio above the bike shop [on Main Street.] There's a lot of talent in this area.
