Grief for Beginners

by Not Signed In | Health

Most of us are unsure of what to say and do when someone we know has experienced a death loss. And the more traumatic the death, in our opinion, the more awkward we feel. This leads us to procrastinate or even fail to reach out to the bereaved person. Unfortunately, what the person almost always needs is to know that others are thinking of him or her.

WRC Receives Funds for Adams Brook Restoration Final Design

by Not Signed In | Town Plan

The Windham Regional Commission (WRC) is pleased to announce that it has secured funding from the State of Vermont, Agency of Natural Resources, Department of Environmental Conservation, Ecosystem Restoration Program, for developing final designs for restoration of 200’ of Adams Brook in Newfane.

Following the Tropical Storm Irene flood of 2011, bed armor treatments were applied to approximately 200 feet of Adams Brook in Newfane, VT. These treatments resulted in significant impacts to aquatic resources which continue to occur today. The depth, sizing and gradation of bed armor were not appropriate and the transition to and from natural streambed elevation was too large and too abrupt.

What Draws You to iBrattleboro?

by Not Signed In | Questions & Answers

I lived in Putney for twelve years and watched iBrattleboro grow to the strong site it is. I’ve since moved away to a similar sized city withOUT a citizen journalism/community portal site. I tried to sit by idly and pretend I didn’t care, but alas, I really wanted something similar. So, what did I do? I created my own site for my new city, it’s called Ashland Talks.

Ashland Talks has been live for almost two months and we’ve received some community member submissions, but it is still largely me posting news. I don’t expect the site to take off over night, but it did get me to start wondering: what is it that draws people to iBrattleboro.com? What do you all like to publish here that you don’t just post on Facebook or Nextdoor?
