Time zipped by, as did its two miles on foot; the tour-goers groaned in sadness when it was over. But alas, all good things must come to an end. This end met at Hotel Vermont's Juniper Restaurant with some fried perch from Lake Champlain, which the group relished while… → Read More

Working moms closeted by breastfeeding policies
MONTPELIER – Mothers have a civil right to breastfeed their babies in schools, restaurants, stores and at work, yet are often forced into bathroom stalls and closets to do so. Despite Vermont laws that protect nursing women and the Affordable Care Act's requirement that employers provide reasonable breaks for employees to express breast milk for infants, many employers have not provided the required… → Read More

His 18 acres, once an abandoned hay field, is now an abundant Eden… → Read More
