If a tree falls in a forest, does it make a sound? In southern Vermont, a more important question would be: Does it cause a power outage? Just think about the biggest weather events that hit southern Vermont this year - the March storm that left up to 4 feet of heavy wet snow in some towns and the massive rainstorm in July that delivered a month's worth of rain in a day and caused serious flash flooding. In between...
Ian Diamondstone was on his phone speaking with a key player representing a major natural beverage company when a realization hit the logistics and trade consultant. The Brattleboro native, who operates an international trade consulting practice from Putney, realized that there, around the company's conference table discussing the ramón nut - "a tree seed that people in Central America have been using for thousands of years" - sat a flock of specialists representing the gamut of U.S. businesses, from finances...

Steven Haisley has developed a CBD-infused salve, which he has named Second Chance. That's because when he was offered a second chance, he took it. And it changed his life. "About 23 years ago, I got sober," he said. "I was one of those people you read about in the papers, time after time. I was on probation, and I was given a choice: jail or rehab. I chose rehab." Haisley had started coming to the Brattleboro area in his...
This article is supposed to be about Cor Trowbridge. Yet, as she consults the press release she wrote announcing that she will step down after 18 years as Brattleboro Community Television's executive director, she uses the opportunity to pitch the station.
