“Windows to the Past,” a new serialized story coming to your newspaper, will inspire young readers to seek out the interesting stories that can be found in their own families’ histories. Newspapers across America are connecting young readers to their communities and improving reading skills with the Reading Across the National Project from the National Newspaper Association Foundation.

Written by Kanetra Kopp and produced by the Missouri Press Association, young Jenny finds a “Windows to the Past” when she discovers a diary in an old attic trunk. The stories in the diary reveal one of her ancestors was a friend of Girl Scout founder Juliette Gordon Low more than 100 years ago.

The big take-away from Tuesday’s Bowie Business Boost was time: “It only takes six seconds to make an impression in life.”
Lorie Vincent, certified economic developer, professional trainer and writer, was speaker for program number three of Bowie Boost with a focus on “Memorable Marketing in a Post-Pandemic Era.”
She opened about how she had started her business, ‘Acceleration by Design,’ and things were “rocking,” when 2020 came and things changed with the worldwide pandemic. As things began to reopen it appeared there were more opportunities but also more challenges.
Vincent laughed as she showed a Richard Simmons “Sweating to the Oldies,” infomercial that became one of the most popular and still running ads.
“Can you believe back then we would call a 1-800 number and give someone our credit card? That is crazy. They used big music, big voices and big adjectives,” exclaimed Vincent.
