Ken Squier was an icon of broadcasting who helped make NASCAR a national phenomenon. In his home state of Vermont, he built Thunder Road and shepherded one of the last bastions of true community radio into the 21st century.

In the heart of Waterbury, many are recovering from flood waters, in the same way they did with Irene 12 years ago.
