 “The Rise and Fall of New England Almshouses and Poor Farms” lecture and book signing by author Jodi Lew Smith
Vermont author Jodi Lew-Smith will speak about the history of almshouses, poorhouses and poor farms in New England. In an engaging talk that’s been getting rave reviews, she’ll follow the rise and decline of the “indoor relief” system, in which towns and counties took responsibility for sheltering “their own poor”. Her talk will touch on state-wide systems as well as the local, with discussion of how the old systems compare to what we have now. She’ll further explain the reasoning behind her fictional portrayal of a poor farm in her historical novel, Asa James, the tale of a young man raised on an 1875 Vermont poor farm—where he grew the ambition to be the next Charles Darwin. The novel has won multiple fiction prizes, including the American Legacy and Feathered Quill Book Awards for historical fiction and the National Indie Excellence Award and Independent Publisher Book Award for regional fiction of the Northeast.

The Andover Center for History &amp; Culture presents Paul Revere Makes a Buck: Symbolism &amp; Currency of the Revolutionary War, an exhibit exploring Revolutionary War currency and art. Join historian Dr. Donald Slater for a special talk on Thursday, September 17.
Dr. Donald A. Slater will be speaking on Paul Revere and the Social Memory of Pine Tree Imagery in Colonial Massachusetts. This timely topic for the nation’s semiquincentennial will explore imagery from 17th century Massachusetts silver coinage and a variety of 18th century Massachusetts currency issues in an attempt to reconstruct the thinking of the local patriot, engraver, printer and renaissance man, Paul Revere. He will highlight the popular images found on the currency featured in our current exhibit of Dr. Slater's Rev War era collection. 
During the 17th and 18th century, colonists mistrusted paper money as an economic vehicle and instead preferred specie coinage for commerce. Due to recurrent shortages of coinage in the colonies, and the need for colonial governments to fund certain activities, the issuance and usage of paper money was often a necessity. Revere would have been well aware of the delicate economic situation at the start of the Revolutionary War and colonists’ mistrust of paper currency. Slater thus argues that, as Revere was the primary engraver and printer of Massachusetts paper currency from 1775-1779, he intentionally leveraged historically powerful pine tree visual imagery to help boost the economic legitimacy of paper currency amongst the populace.

128 Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Electric Stays Independent

128 Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Electric

128 Announces Local Independent Ownership For Good One question that Ryan Williams, President of 128 Plumbing, Heating, Cooling, and Electric, keeps getting is: “Did you sell?” and the answer is always In recent years, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and other home services have seen significant consolidation. In Greater Boston, 128 is one of the only home service companies that remain local, private, and independently-owned. This led Williams to seek out organizations that aren't just in business to sell, but to thrive long-term. He found the Tugboat Institute®, focusing on value, purpose, and people-driven businesses planning to remain independently-owned for 100+ years through their Certified Evergreen® status. 128 applied with the help of its entire team and received the honor of becoming Certified Evergreen® a year later. Watch 128's announcement here: https://youtu.be/g5rsiZW7B1k?si=KeR42U8H9GXnCJkH Does this impact customers? Customers want reliability and support for years down the road from their home service company, and choosing an independently-owned company can reduce uncertainties. Does this impact tradespeople? Ownership can influence company culture, communication, alignment, and priorities. With a labor shortage, it's important there are industry leaders willing to continually invest in education, which 128 is proud to offer its own school. Choose Local and Independent. 128 is proud to announce its continued local and independent ownership to bring stability and confidence to employees, customers, and communities for generations. Williams states that "128 answers to its customers and employees, not investors", and is not for sale. 128 Plumbing, Heating, Cooling, and Electric was founded in 1992 and is a top home service company in Eastern MA. 128 is known for its 5-star service, base+ membership, Finish Strong Friday®, and its Red Sox partnership.

Choose an Austin Prep Education Rooted in Augustinian Values

Austin Preparatory School

Austin Preparatory School, located in Reading, Massachusetts, is an independent Catholic prep school rooted in the Augustinian tradition. Serving students in grades 6 through 12, Austin Prep has cultivated a close-knit learning community since its founding in 1961. Guided by its mission to inspire hearts to unite, minds to inquire, and hands to serve, the school challenges students through a rigorous college preparatory program that includes honors and Advanced Placement courses, personalized instruction, and intentionally small classes. An Austin Prep education is preparation for the journey of life. Beyond academics, the school’s unwritten curriculum – the lived expression of veritas, unitas, and caritas (truth, unity, and love) – forms the heart of its mission. “At Austin Prep, we are on a journey that is life-changing and important,” says Head of School James Hickey, Ph.D. “Our patron, St. Augustine, embarked on a journey for the truth. At our core is an institution on the same journey, committed to exemplary teaching and learning.” Serving grades 6–12 under one roof allows this leading prep school to guide students through every stage of development—academic, social, emotional, physical, and spiritual. Community stands at the center of this experience, nurturing belonging and inspiring students to lead lives of purpose. Austin Prep athletics teams, competing in the New England Preparatory School Athletic Council (NEPSAC), are recognized among the best north of Boston, reflecting the same drive and integrity found in the classroom. Nearly every graduate continues on to a four-year college, prepared not only for success in higher education but for a meaningful life shaped by faith, friendship, and service.
