The hazy, lazy days
Just serve
Looking back on what used to be the ‘Dog Days’ of summer
Take in the beauty this region has to offer throughout

Progress on building Middlebury’s new municipal fitness center—located on Creek Road next to Tiger Field—is on schedule. Much work has been done after this photograph was taken in June. However, considerable paving remains on Creek Road which is potholed and eroded from year years of neglect; also, the road remains closed south of the ACTR facility due to spring flooding. The new fitness center will bring increased traffic to Creek Road north and south. It is uncertain if a traffic signal will be erected where Creek Road meets Court Street (Route 7) to help resolve merging delays. PHOTO BY LOU VARRICCHIO

MONTPELIER — As the consequences of closing Vermont Yankee materialize in southeastern Vermont, residents are discovering the dangerous fallout from the plant is turning out to be economic, not nuclear. “Vermont Yankee had a significant amount of our catering business— probably 10 percent of our business was to Vermont Yankee. And that’s going to go away,Ó Bill Daley, owner of Vermont Country Deli, told Vermont Watchdog. Daley, whose deli has served sandwiches, fresh-baked desserts and pastries to the Brattleboro community since it opened more than 25 years ago, said the loss of the regionÕ s sole economic powerhouse is hurting a range of businesses. Ò I know a number of businesses that have grumbled about losing Vermont Yankee. My discussions have been, if they go away, you’re losing a piece of the economy, and it’s a large piece of the economy, and definitely our customer base. WeÕ re now having to live with that decision,Ó Daley said. Lost business is only part of the trouble facing residents of Windham County after the nuclear plant closed in December.
