A couple whose farm was ruined during Tropical Storm Irene in August is
now asking town officials in Wallingford to help them buy-out a portion of their land.
One month after the devastating floods of Tropical Storm Irene, the state and communities are assessing what’s been done to recover – and what remains to be done.
Vermont Democrats are holding a news conference to criticize
Republican energy policy; State crews have worked for 10 days to reopen a
highway in Wallingford that was
heavily damaged when a beaver dam failed; Michael Jacques’ defense team has
hired two New Jersey lawyers who
specialize in death penalty cases.
Police say six
members of the Wallingford Volunteer Fire Department are facing charges in
connection with a string of arson fires set in the area this spring.
Fire
inspectors still don’t know what caused the blaze that destroyed St. Mary’s
Church in Mount Holly the Sunday after Christmas. Parishioners
are grateful that no one was hurt and that foul play is not suspected. But
as VPR’s Nina Keck reports, they worry about the church’s future and whether
their tiny community can stay together.
