The ' town also purchased its ; employees a pedometer, which keeps track of their daily steps, thus raises greater physical aware ness. “The town plans on keeping the pressure on to encourage employees to make better choices regarding healthy eating and exercise,” said Anne Marie Knighton, town manager. Organizations that have healthier em ployees often qualify for reduced health insurance rates, experience fewer sick outages, and overall yield better production. Success breeds more success.

DeViney said that while Progressive’s owner Eric Ferguson has not expressed an interest in purchasing the build ing, the museumjs board of directors has but with concerns. \ A Billy Voliva, board chairman, confirmed that interest But, he added, funding the purchase would be a problem. “We (board) have talked about the possibility of purchasing the building but we don’t have the mon ey,” Voliva said. “It would be nice if we could get the building but at this point it looks like that would take a miracle.” The museum, which contains mill memorabilia such as photographs and items used at the mill such as an original desk and bits of machinery, opened just two years ago. Since then, the board has main tained a lease agreement with PNC. Voliva said the board has been making inqui ries about grant money that might be available since learning the mill office would be for sale but has run into the same stumbling block time after time — they can’t qualify for grant fluids until they actually own the building. In the meantime, Voliva said, his board is hoping that whoever purchases the building may allow them to stay “We’ll just have to ad dress that situation if it (sale) happens,” Voliva said. “Hopefully, we won’t have to leave” DeViney said that she too would like to see that happen. “Depending on who the buyer is, I hope that will be a possibility,” DeViney said. DeViney said that the property could continue to be used for office space or could also be used as a residence. “It would be a great place for a home office,” DeViney said, “and a great fit for a writer, an artist or somebody who does com puter work. “It’s a quiet neighborhood and this is a great space.” FINANCIAL STRESS?
