More storm-damaged roads to reopen in Halifax

Wednesday, November 30, 2011 — Issue 129

HALIFAX — The town of Halifax is slowly making progress in repairing roads that were destroyed by Tropical Storm Irene.

According to Selectboard member Edee Edwards, Amidon Road between the Massachusetts line and Franklin Hill Road has been reopened. Work continues on Green River Road between Thurber Road and the Guilford Town line, and on the middle of Stowe Mountain Road. These roads are still closed for construction.

Contingent upon weather, Edwards said that Stowe Mountain Road is expected to reopen by Dec. 2, while Green River Road is expected to reopen on Dec. 5. Check with Road Commissioner Brad Rafus (802-368-2803) or the town website, www.halifaxvermont.com, for up-to-date information on the roads.

Bridges remain out at Deer Park Road between Josh Road and Green River Road, Reed Hill Road, which is not accessible from the intersection with Branch/Collins, and Hale Road at the Guilford town line.

Good day to you! After an above-average January in terms of temperatures we have flipped the pattern, at least temporarily. For January, we had a trough of lower pressures in the western U.S. and a ridge of higher pressures in the east. This allowed for milder air to flow in off of the Pacific and glide right into New England. These large-scale weather features have reversed for the time being, and is the reason we're seeing snow and cold in...

Mainstream-media misdirections evident in first Democratic Party debates

It's been amazing to watch how rigged and undemocratic the presidential debates have been. I was surprised to finally see CNN allow anyone else to speak besides Joe Biden and Kamala Harris in the last debate. And the NBC debates could not have been a more blatant demonstration of censorship, with lesser-known candidates relegated to the edges of the stage and given almost no questions, so that they were forced to yell and interrupt in order to have just a...
