The Visitor's Guide to Southern Vermont - Bennington Center for The Arts
The Bennington Center for the Arts is a non-profit full-spectrum art center built by local philanthropist Bruce Laumeister and wife Elizabeth Small. The doors opened in 1994 onto two gallery spaces and a 300 seat theater. Much of the artwork that that couple has collected over the years from galleries around the country hangs in the galleries and stairwells when temporary exhibits are not on display.
Paintings and bronzes of and by Native Americans dominated the collection in the beginning, along with a very large collection of Navajo rugs, pots, kachinas and jewelry but many exceptional paintings from the fifteen Art of the Animal Kingdom exhibitions have been added to that collection and are often on display as well. These include artwork by such notable artists as Bob Kuhn, Richard Schmid, Charles Frace, Carl Brenders, Morten Solberg and Manfred Schatz. In 1997 an additional two galleries and an executive boardroom were added. 2003 marked the addition of The Covered Bridge Museum, paying homage to these structures throughout recent history but specifically in Vermont where to this day there are 104 working covered bridges. In 2008 a final wing consisting of three more galleries, two workshop spaces, an artist apartment and administrative offices was officially opened.
Since its opening The Bennington has been very fortunate in bringing to the Galleries some of the finest exhibitions in the country, starting with the Society of Animal Artist annual show our first fall. The organizations we have hosted include the Plein Air Painters of America, the American Watercolor Society, the New England Watercolor Society, the Allied Artists of America, the American Academy of Women Artists, the Pastel Society of America, Arts for the Parks and additional shows by SAA. We have also exhibited a one-man show for Richard Schmid and we have curated many of our own shows annually including Art of the Animal Kingdom, Impressions of New England, Artists for the New Century (with the help of Southwest Art, American Art Collector, Art of the West and Fine Art Connoisseur), American Artists Abroad and our newest annual show, the Laumeister Fine Art Competition. The Center has also been the only East coast venue to host the California Art Club.
The goal of The Bennington is to bring world-class art to the residents and visitors of New England and with the support of the art community we feel we are achieving this goal.

The United States Post Office is Dying.

volumes are falling, and the U.S. Postal Service is losing billions of dollars a year while accumulating large liabilities. The dawn of the Email Era has significantly impacted the old days of penning letters to friends and family and replaced it with an instant and free alterative. The USPS has partly offset declining mail revenues with growth in package revenues. Despite the common myth that Amazon is the reason that the post office is dying, the truth of the matter is the expenses are consistently more than revenue. The USPS’s finances look bleak overall.
From 2009 to 2018 First-Class mail volume dropped 31% and those pesky spam mails dropped 6%. Magazines and other periodicals dropped 38%. However, the shipping of package rose 100%. Some of the cost factors affecting the post office revenue is the have increased the area of delivery 6% and increased the amount of vehicles 6%. They have also cut the total amount of employees in the 9 years 11%.
So how are they losing money. The post office takes in about 70 billion dollars annually only 4 % increase from 2009 from shipping and postage costs. Their operating costs is 74.4 Billion dollars. The total amount of assets have decreased to 27.6 billion while their total amount of liability has skyrocketed to 89.3 billions dollars. A 167% increase from 2009.
These numbers tells us this about the post office.
-Mail demand is falling and package demand is rising. The problem is that mail is more profitable and accounts for most of USPS revenues.
- USPS management has cut costs where it can, such as by reducing the worker count. But Congress resists other cost savings such as closing post offices, even though the number of retail customers is falling.
- Marketing mail has become by far the largest type of mail by volume. Thus we have a vast fleet of trucks driving around the country, burning gas and creating pollution, and the main thing being delivered is junk mail.
- More than three-quarters of USPS costs are employee compensation, which includes excessive health and pension benefits. About four-fifths of the USPS labor force is unionized.
- USPS has been losing money for more than a decade. Expenses are a few billion a year higher than revenues.
- USPS assets are falling and liabilities are soaring. The largest liabilities are unfunded retiree health benefits, worker compensation costs, and debt.
So how does the Mail process work:
The first step is Collection: After a customer has deposited a letter destined for a distant address in a collection box, a postal carrier removes all of the mail from the box and takes it to the Post Office. That letter and mail collected by other carriers of that Post Office are placed on a truck and taken to a mail processing plant.
The second step is Culling and Postmarking: Postal workers send the letter through a machine that rapidly separates mail by shape, separating letters from large envelopes and packages know as the culling operation. The machine orients letters so that all addresses face the same way and are right side up. It then applies a postmark with the date and place where the letter was sorted and cancellation lines so the stamp cannot be reused, in order to protect postal revenue.
Step three is Scanning and Lifting Images: Every letter gets identified by a code consisting of a series of florescent bars imprinted on the back. The address on the front of each letter is scanned by an optical character reader. Images of letters that could not be successfully read are transmitted to a remote encoding center for further processing. All letters are placed in trays and moved to the next piece of automated equipment for barcode application.
The next step is to Apply a Barcode and Sort: Linked with the identification code, a barcode is sprayed on the front of the letter. Representing the specific delivery address, the barcode consists of tall and short bars used for all further sorting. The barcode sends a letter into a bin on the machine for a particular range of ZIP Codes; these identify the next processing plant.
