I am hearing that the Brewski on Route 108 near the entrance to Smuggs is on fire this morning. Does anyone have any information on this?

On another note, I had my first meal at Athena's Diner is St. Albans last week. Very good food at reasonable prices. Large variety of items and while I didn't have desserts, they were displayed in a glass case and looked awesome. Will definitely go back there.
Not sure I could support Sam's new place either, no matter whose name it's in. Something I'd have to think about.

I for one, don't think this conversation is embarrassing to anyone and it's a real problem. The solution for volunteers to go meet at 8:30 a.m. is very admirable and I hope it works out for every snow storm, but I don't think that's feasible; unless the volunteers don't have other committments in the morning, i.e. a job; daycare responsiblities, etc. I really feel the homeowners shouldn't be responsible every time it snows to clear the sidewalks in front of their home. If they want to do it, that's great, but their time is also too unpredictable with availability issues such as vacations, jobs, illnesses, age, and ability. Perhaps it should be a town responsibility, thus costing money, but it may be be worth it to provide a safe walkway for our townspeople. I have no idea what the increase in the budget would be to provide this service. Does anyone?

We eat at 158 Main occasionally and have had great meals and great service there. Very good food.

Homeowners do have to shovel the end of their driveways, but should they be "mandated" or even persuaded to shovel the sidewalks in front of their properties? Even if we are not elderly, sometimes we don't get to shovel our driveways until the evening after work or a day later, which doesn't help the pedestrians much in the mornings. Also, lots of folks pay people to plow or shovel their own driveways due to time constraints or physical limitations - should they also have to pay to have the sidewalks done in front of their houses?
I applaud the folks who do it out of the goodness of their hearts and have the time and energy to do it, but don't recommend a mandate on this kind of stuff. I also agree it is dangerous for our pedestrians to walk in the road in the winter, so some sort of solution is needed. Not sure asking the homeowners to do it is going to solve this issue.

While I had very good breakfasts there, as recently as Christmas Eve day, I can honestly say I was disappointed in their dinner menu. The dinner food was actually very good, but I think that the menu selection was of higher priced meals that perhaps folks in town weren't willing to pay for. I think a lot of people would prefer the type of home cooking and lower priced fare that the original Country Pantry had to offer. It was always easy to go to the Pantry in the middle of the week and grab a bite to eat, without it costing a lot of money. I didn't do that as much at the VBC given the menu pricing. Just my opinion of course.

I'm very sorry to hear this, but hope another establishment can fill the need for a reasonably priced family restaurant in town.

I have heard that the VBC may be closing....am wondering if it is true as I really like the restaurant and have had such good meals there. Can anyone confirm this?

Does anyone have any recommendations for a carpet cleaning business in the area? It's time to get ready for the holidays and I don't have the time or energy to do it myself this year. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks!

Thank you. I will give them a call. I sure hope we get lots of snow to ride this year!

Yes, I know as we use Champlain Valley from time to time for repairs, but would like to try other resources. I had heard that the place in Cambridge was operated by folks from Fletcher and would like to give them the business if I've gotten some good references on their work. Thanks for the response though.

Can anyone tell me if there is still a snowmobile repair shop in Cambridge (where Fine Line used to be)? If so, has anyone had any repairs done on their snow machines there? Both of our machines need new tracks this year and would like to have this done locally if possible. Thanks in advance!

I confess! I did get stopped for speeding at the bottom of the Fletcher Road this morning and the very nice officer was trying to tell me it's been posted 30 MPH for over a year. I didn't want to argue with him, but I don't think it's been posted that long - maybe since Spring? Does anyone know when it actually got posted at that speed? BTW - he did let me off with a warning, which was nice; but it definitely is a hard area to reduce your speed so quickly. I'll keep working on it though!

Henry,
Even though we have never met person to person, we've exchanged emails a few times and I read your forum daily. I truly enjoy reading about yours and Mary Ann's every day life. I am truly sorry to hear about her passing. I know you will miss her deeply and hope you take comfort in knowing the Fairfax/Fletcher community at large stands behind you in your sorrow. Please know that you and your entire family are in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
Sue Williams - Fletcher
