Lord Fairfax Small Business Development Center

31 January 2020

As a wrap-up to the “Business Spotlight” series where we showcased local small businesses across the Shenandoah Valley in various stages of “life;” our conversation today was with Christine Kriz from the Lord Fairfax Small Business Development Center.

We talked about all the services her organization offers and how it’s funded – allowing their services to their clients to be FREE. Christine told us about common business issues that she & her staff can offer guidance and assistance to a business of any size. She gave us some great advice for people just starting to think about opening a business all the way through the process of selling your business.

Lonnie's Fun Fact for Friday February 28, 2020. Normally this would be the last day of February, but not this year. This is a leap year. Leap days keep our modern-day Gregorian calendar in alignment with Earth's revolutions around the Sun. It takes Earth approximately 365.242189 days, or 365 days, 5 hours, 48 minutes, and 45 seconds, to circle once around the Sun. This is called a tropical year, and it starts on the March equinox. However, the Gregorian calendar has only 365 days in a year. If we didn't add a leap day on February 29 almost every four years, each calendar year would begin about 6 hours before the Earth completes its revolution around the Sun As a consequence, our time reckoning would slowly drift apart from the tropical year and get increasingly out of sync with the seasons.

Lonnie's Fun Fact for Thursday February 27, 2020. Today in international Polar Bear day. Polar bears live in the Arctic. They have black skin and although their fur appears white, it is actually transparent which allows the sun to reach their skin to warm them up. Polar bears keep warm thanks to nearly four inches of blubber under the skin. They are the largest meat eater that lives on land. Polar bears use sea ice as a platform to hunt seals which make up most of their diet. Male polar bears can weigh up to 1500 pounds. Female polar bears usually only weigh about half as much as males. Polar bears spend most of their time at sea. The scientific name for the polar bear is ursus maritimus. Polar bears have 42 teeth and scientists estimate that there are around 20,000 polar bears. Polar bears have an excellent sense of smell, with the ability to detect seals nearly a mile away. There is more to the story.
