Mesa Verde National Park

COLORADO
Just 35 miles west of Durango, Colorado, Mesa Verde National Park protects
and preserves nearly 5,000 archaeological sites and 600 spectacular cliff
dwellings dating back to A.D. 600. In fact, this hidden gem is considered one
of the richest archeological zones in America.
Drop by the Chapin Mesa Archeological Museum for some fast facts on An-
cestral Pueblo culture before heading out on the 6-mile Mesa Top Loop Road.
Or, if you’re feeling ambitious, jump on the 116-mile Trail of Ancients, Amer-
ica’s only Scenic Byway dedicated to archaeology.
There are some hiking trails to choose from, cliff dwelling tours and even
cross-country skiing is a popular hobby during winter months. Just an hour
away, in Cortez, you’ll find ample accommodations, dining, and shopping. Or,
you can stay at the campground or lodge inside the park. Keep in mind that over
a half million visitors tour the 52,485-acre park each year, so you can expect
some crowding, particularly in summer months.

visions than the package Pelosi and Mnuchin have Code Enforcement (714) 375-5155
been negotiating in the last two weeks.
The Brookings package includes $400 billion for

each of the following provisions: stimulus checks, Public Works (714) 536-5431
unemployment benefits, state and local aid, another
round of the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), Graffiti Removal (714) 960-8861
and other provisions like airline help and testing
A package like the one Mnuchin and Pelosi have
been negotiating — worth around $1.9 trillion — would
provide a similar boost to the economy, increasing GDP
by 3.5% in 2021 and returning the economy to its pre-
pandemic path in the fourth quarter of 2021, an analysis
by Evercore ISI finds. Around 4 million jobs would be
added by the end of 2021, or 260,000 more per month.
“This package definitely would have made our re-
covery shorter and faster,” Ernie Tedeschi, a managing
director and policy economist for Evercore ISI and au-

thor of the analysis, told Yahoo Money. “There are still
lots of economic risks and we would have been better
prepared with this package than without it.”
‘Creating new jobs is a slow, painful process’
Not passing a stimulus deal will hit the job market

and spending. Fewer jobs will be added, while those
who remain unemployed will receive smaller benefits
now that the CARES Act and the Lost Wages Assis-
tance (LWA) program have expired.
“With every passing week, jobs that people previ-
ously had are being destroyed Those jobs are gone,”
Edelberg said. “We will have to create new jobs and
creating new jobs is a slow, painful process.”
Additional unemployment benefits would have the
biggest economic effect per dollar spent because it’s
targeted — helping people who are unable to find jobs
and suffering financially. Stimulus checks — another
popular provision — are another effective relief aid be-
cause they are quickly distributed and immediately
boost the economy, according to Edelman.
Even if lawmakers can come together for a stimulus
package near $2 trillion that would prop up the econ-
omy significantly, there is still the cumulative effect of
GDP tumbling so much since the spring.
“That is all economic loss. That is gone. That is all
pain that people will have absorbed,” Edelberg said.
“That is people having lost jobs, and having months
and months and months of just feeling incredible finan-
cial hardship.”

Why
Shop
Local
We all know how fun it is to shop locally in Huntington Beach
and our surrounding communities; but there's more to it:
1. Protect Local Character and Prosperity
Huntington Beach is unlike any other city in the world. By choosing to support locally owned
businesses, you help maintain our area's diversity and distinctive flavor, culture, theme
and lifestyle.
2. Community Well-Being
Locally owned businesses build strong neighborhoods by sustaining
communities, linking neighbors, and by contributing more to local causes.
3. Local Decision Making
Local ownership means that important decisions are made locally by
people who live in the community and who will feel the impacts of
those decisions.
4. Keeping Dollars in the Local Economy
Your dollars spent in locally-owned businesses have three times the
impact on your community as dollars spent elsewhere. When
shopping locally, you simultaneously create jobs, fund more city
services through sales tax, invest in neighborhood improvement and
promote community development.
5. Job and Wages
Locally owned businesses create more jobs locally and, in some sectors, provide better
wages and benefits than chains do.
6. Entrepreneurship
Entrepreneurship fuels America's economic innovation and prosperity, and serves as a key means
for families to move out of low-wage jobs and into the middle class and keep this spiral going in
communities like our's.

7. Public Benefits and Costs
Local stores in neighborhood shopping areas require comparatively little infra-
structure and make more efficient use of public services and combine with larger
shopping experiences to give our community the total look it needs to survive.
8. Environmental Sustainability
Local stores help to sustain vibrant, compact, walkable town
centers - which in turn are essential to reducing sprawl, automo-
bile use, habitat loss, and air and water pollution. We can help build
this model if you support your local merchants.
9. Competition
A marketplace of tens of thousands of small businesses is the best way to ensure
innovation and low prices over the long-term. we are getting there...a little more patience,
leadership and support.
10. Product Diversity
A multitude of small businesses, each selecting products based, not on a national sales plan, but on
their own interests and the needs of their local customers, guarantees a much broader range of product
choices...and guarantees us the consumers convenient access to what we want and need.
