BRATTLEBORO-With few contested races around the state, voter turnout was low for many of the Aug. 13 party primaries in Vermont. But not so much in the southeast corner of Windham County, where three hotly contested primaries for House seats drew many voters to the polls on a sun-splashed August day. In Brattleboro, incumbent Rep. Emilie Kornheiser prevailed over a primary challenge, and Ian Goodnow emerged as the party's candidate in the November general election. For Guilford and Vernon, in...
PUTNEY-Julie Winchester had no desire to get involved in the restaurant business. What she did want was to bring her community together and show visitors what her town has to offer. And she had a vision that included making Exit 4 a destination - maybe even a food truck spot. After a while, since no one else was stepping up, Winchester did.

BFUHS Principal Kelly O'Ryan and Windham Northeast Supervisory Union Superintendent Andrew Haas discussed the list of projects, starting with a full renovation of the school's science wing.

BRATTLEBORO-Each year since 2016, Compassionate Brattleboro (formerly the Brattleboro Interfaith Alliance) has recognized a person or persons who, motivated by the deepest compassion, provide quiet and unassuming service to others that is characterized by sincerity and creativity. This year's Unsung Heroes Award goes to the staff of Brooks Memorial Library. In the past, libraries were seen as places where you borrowed books and were told to be quiet.

BRATTLEBORO-Recently, two storms in the span of three weeks brought torrential rains and flash flooding to Vermont that made it seem as if the Northeast Kingdom were washing away down to Brattleboro. Climate change is real, and it's happening in Vermont. Who is responsible, and who will pay to repair the damage?
