Why are locally owned businesses so important?
27
A vibrant and healthy local business ecosystem has a huge impact on the overall social and economic well-being of the communities in which they reside. Locally owned, small business have a natural incentive to take community needs and interests into account. They are owned by our neighbors and friends. More of the money spent at local businesses stays within the community and continues to do good many times over. The express purpose of SHOPINTOWN is to promote local products, services and events within the community and to enhance the overall social and economics of the town by keeping the money in the community.

Relaxed
Local Co-Authors Angie Dawson and Derek Jenson are proud to present their first publication “Beyond Relaxed”.
EVERYONE NEEDS A RELAXING HOLIDAY ON MONTSERRAT ISLAND
Precious Time in Montserrat captures vacationing on Montserrat in over 200 island photographs and descriptions. This natural, un-commercialized tropical island is quietly inspiring as you learn about the effects of the famous and still active, Soufriere Hills Volcano, and the power of nature that caused the unstoppable destruction of Plymouth, the Capital City. Be surprised by the island’s connection to Sir George Martin, Producer of the Beatles. Learn about Montserrat’s important place in music history and see the list of some of the more popular artists and albums documented in the recording history of AIR Studios Montserrat including: Paul McCartney, Sting, Elton John, Eric Clapton, Phil Collins, Stevie Wonder, Duran Duran, The Police, Simply Red, Boy George, Dire Straits and the Rolling Stones. For those who like to fully relax on vacation and decompress from the pressure of living in a fast-paced consumer culture, Montserrat is a peaceful, safe, luring Caribbean island of interesting people, history and places.

We sell THE BOOK ON MONTSERRAT
CO-AUTHOR BIOGRAPHY Co-authors Angie Dawson and Derek Jesen compiled all photographs and information over four visits to Montserrat. Beyond Relaxed: Precious Time in Montserrat is their first book; one they say was inspired by the island itself. It began as a collection of photographs compiled to show family and friends this mysterious place called, ‘Montserrat’. Every photograph (except 3 of the 200+ photos) was taken by either Angie or Derek. They affectionately describe Montserrat as an authentic island experience. A place where they meet interesting people, can truly relax and hear themselves think, are continuously fascinated by the island’s unique history, and marvel in the presence of the majestic Soufriere Hills Volcano. In Canada, Angie has worked as a television producer and radio news reporter, and currently operates a video production company. With over 20 years in telecom as a business systems analyst and designer, Derek now also works as a commercial pilot. The two are currently travel-working and taking plenty of photographs along the way!
