Stuart Dumville, of Royalton, calls out a greeting to Demi Boles, of the Royalton Highway Department, as he uncovers storm grates to drain water collecting on Chelsea Street in South Royalton, Vt., on Wednesday, Jan. 10, 2024, after a storm brought heavy snow followed by rain overnight. "He's a real worker," said Dumville, of Boles who did a lot of repair work on his dirt road last summer. (Valley News - James M. Patterson) Copyright Valley News.
