DEERFIELD - Craig Grabowski, co-owner of the Lovin' Spoonfull cafe, snatched a few minutes between the lunchtime and after-school rush in his quarters at Commerce Corner on Route 107. The other tenants of the building have been good to him, Grabowski said. But he balances it out: "If I wanted to buy real estate, I'd go and talk to Doug upstairs. The business owners in this building are all really tight."
LOUDON - A restored 19th century water-powered sawmill is still turning out a lot of board feet of lumber these days, and, in the process, keeping alive one of the traditional skills of an earlier age.
HANOVER - Officials in the eight towns hope to bring high-speed Internet to rural areas.
MANCHESTER - Verres Financial plans 20 industrial condos off Harvey Road.
Warding off 'vampires'
From the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, one of the U.S. Department of Energy's national laboratories, come these clues to help identify products in your home or office that use standby power:
-- Remote controls: for devices such as TVs, VCRs, air conditioners
-- Continuous digital display: on appliances such as microwave ovens, washing machines
-- Rechargeable batteries: common with cell phones, portable tools, security systems
-- Soft-touch keypads: features on microwaves, washing machines
All those electronic devices we've come to depend on -- our laptop computers, cell phones and microwave ovens -- can hike household electric bills, even when we're not using them. A PSNH analyst says the average consumer could save $150 to $250 a year by unplugging them.
