WALTHAM — The Addison County Community Trust (ACCT) has reached a deal to buy the now-vacant, 14-unit Gevry Trailer Park in Waltham on the Vergennes city line, a property the nonprofit agency hopes to use for affordable or senior housing.
BRISTOL — When Kayla Flint of Bristol was born in 1989 with cystic fibrosis — a widespread genetic disease that causes thick mucus to build up in the lungs and digestive tract — her grandparents David and Bonita Bedard were unwilling to sit idle.
ADDISON COUNTY — Over the next three years more than 400 Addison County homes, businesses and schools connected to the Internet via Waitsfield and Champlain Valley Telecom (WCVT) will enjoy increased Internet speeds as the company expands its fiber optic network.
MIDDLEBURY — As summer winds on, the buzz continues to grow around the Midd Summer Festival, scheduled for Aug. 6 in the Marble Works in Middlebury.
Organizers say more than 40 Vermont beer, wine, cider, cheese and producers of other goods have signed on for the festival, which will take place from 3 to 7 p.m., rain or shine, and will feature live music.

NEW HAVEN — Burlington-based Cross Pollination Inc. reached a major milestone toward its proposed 2.2 megawatt solar power project off Route 7 in New Haven when on July 8 the Vermont Public Service Board (PSB) issued a certificate of public good.
But New Haven resident John Madden, saying the project would ruin the aesthetics of the region, asked the PSB to reconsider or alter its July 8 order. Within 10 days that a certificate of public good is issued, there is a window for individuals to file a motion of reconsideration.
ST. ALBANS — School taxes are the missing piece in an ongoing effort to revamp Vermont’s tax structure, according to Rep. Carolyn Branagan, R-Georgia. To remedy that problem the state recently hired a California firm to study the state’s education taxes.
Earlier this year, a blue ribbon tax commission released an analysis and recommendations for the state income and sales taxes.
With a nod to the crazy cult filmmaker John Waters and the bizarre list of the 101 things he loves from his book “Crackpot,” I present to you my own (much milder) list of 54 things I love from a beautiful summer night in Addison County.
