Norah Lake, holding her daughter Fern, picks the central flower from a cluster on an apple tree to look for damage in the orchard at Sweetland Farm in Norwich, Vt., on Monday, May 22, 2023. As an experiment to see if irrigating the trees would protect the blossoms, she used irrigation to spray some trees through the night, others intermittently, and a few not at all. The trees that were sprayed saw about 15% survival, though the accumulated ice caused some damage to foliage and broke an occasional branch. While the flower petals remained intact on the unsprayed trees, no ovaries survived the frost. First planted 12 years ago, Lake said it was the orchard's "best year of blossom ever, and that's what makes us so heart sick over it." (Valley News - James M. Patterson) Copyright Valley News.

Mark Shaw, of Strafford, takes his ballot to the Strafford Town Clerk's Office in Strafford Village, Vt., where votes are being tallied on Tuesday, March 1, 2022 in the absence of a full town meeting in the Town House at right. Selectboard Chair Toni Pippy said that residents want to have a meeting so they can gather for town business where amendments and nominations can be made from the floor, that with Australian ballot voting, over 50% of the town's voter rolls returned a ballot this year. "It's a tricky deal," she said. (Valley News - James M. Patterson) Copyright Valley News. May not be reprinted or used online without permission. Send requests to permission@vnews.com.

Travis Compo, of Weathersfield, Vt., climbs through the brush while participating in a line search exercise in the woods behind the Hanover Fire Department in Hanover, N.H., on Thursday, March 30, 2023. Compo, who has been a volunteer firefighter for over a decade, said that he’s always been interested in joining a search and rescue team, but the widely publicized search and eventual recovery of Emily Sotelo, a lost 19-year-old hiker from Massachusetts, last November “kind of kicked it into high gear.” The major drive for Compo isn’t only the person in distress, but also a dedication to his team. “You don’t always respond specifically just for that subject or patient, you have team members going and they’re going to have to work harder if you don’t go,” he said. “I’ve always enjoyed helping people and the camaraderie that’s involved in that.” (Valley News / Report For America - Alex Driehaus) Copyright Valley News.
