GLOVER, Vt.—An earth-shattering event,set for celebration in a small Northeast King-dom community, recalls the day when LongPond burst its banks 200 years ago andchanged people's lives forever. An engineerestimated that the pond must have con-tained 1.988 billion gallons of water. Theevent left behind incredible destruction andan entertaining story—a story that gets toldand retold every June around the remnantsof the Vermont pond.

In fact, some folks think the story of LongPond—now popularly called RunawayPond—has become even bigger than theevent itself. That's why most everybody inthe vicinity of Glover and Barton probablyhas plans to turn out the weekend of June 6to commemorate and talk about RunawayPond.

And for people who live beyond the clus-ter of small communities south and west ofLake Memphremagog in Vermont’s North-east Kingdom or in fact, just about any-where, the Runaway Pond object lesson isworth considering: that it’s just plain dumbto tinker with Mother Nature.

The story begins innocently enough dur-ing the opening days of June 1810.

The owner of a grist mill decided that thestream that turned his stones wasn’t work-ing hard enough, as the countryside was inthe grip of a drought that had turned the wa-ter flow to a trickle. So why not help thingsalong?

Several miles up the valley, a small pondfed his stream. And there was another, muchbigger, pond above that. Trouble was, thestream from the big pond flowed south—theother way, a fact that was not likely tochange on its own considering things hadbeen like that for something like 10,000years.

So the miller, whose name was Willson,gathered a willing crowd, hiked up therugged valley and began digging a trench atthe north end of the pond to direct what hehoped would be a workable stream down to-ward his mill. All went well until the firstbit of water began to flow over the lip theyhad chopped out of the hardpan that washolding the pond back and determining thatits outflow would go south instead of north,which was of no value to Willson whatsoev-er.

The water disappeared down the holethey had dug to start the trench. Soon, morewater began to flow over the edge and downthe hole and then even more water than that,which turned the fine sand they had beendigging in to a soupy sort of quicksand.That, in turn, undermined the hardpan ofthe pond and the whole thing gave way witha flourish.

The valley drops 600 feet from Runaway

Pond to Orleans for an average of about 40feet per mile. The water ran out of the pondin 1 hour and 15 minutes, but the mud ranout for hours. The water reached Lake Mem-phremagog in 4 hours and reportedly raisedthe level there 1 foot.

The initial surge took trees with it, build-ing up a log jam, stopping the flood tem-porarily until the water pressure behind thejam backed up, causing another break-through. This scenario kept recurring in theflood's progress down to Barton.

The results of the flood can still be seen to-day in the village of Barton and elsewhere inthe Barton River valley.

Somehow, the men weren’t swept awayand lived to tell the tale, which is this: thepond that had no practical purpose untilthat time suddenly proceeded to create a sig-nificant legend for itself and run away downthe swampy valley, making enough noise inthe process that folks even miles off wereconvinced that Judgment Day had arrived.It carved out the little pond below, rippingup whole forests and generally creatingchaos until eventually reaching the vicinityof Willson’s grist mill.

The water proceeded in fits and starts,first turning trees to kindling and then pil-ing them up like a dam before breakingthrough again and resuming the path of de-struction. That gave a fellow named Cham-berlain time to run ahead and warn themiller ’s wife to get out just in time (or so thelegend grows).

From there, Long Pond ran away towardLake Memphremagog off in the distance,which is so big it probably never even no-ticed the new arrival. In its wake, the steepvalley got filled with mud and busted upforest, which is where, in time , Glover Vil-lage decided to build itself, where the afore-mentioned commemoration is being held.

Drive Vermont Route 16 today—whichruns through the area from Hardwick to Bar-ton along the path of the former LongPond—where you can still see some of its ef-fects: a scooped out area where the pondused to be, its former shoreline marooned agood way up the steep hillsides that sur-round its former resting place; the smallshallow pond below (later called Mud Pondfor obvious reasons, then Tilldy’s Pond, andfinally Clark Pond) and a bit farther on,Glover Village itself, which probably wouldhave been put somewhere else had it notbeen for Runaway Pond.

What would have happened had theMiller Willson and his rough and ready crewnot tipped the scales of Mother Nature andreleased the deluge? Would the pond haveheld? Or would it have run away on its ownat some later, more inopportune time? Andshould that be the case, where would GloverVillage and all the good folks further down-stream in Barton and Orleans be today? It’sworth pondering.

The Runaway Bicentennial celebration be-gins June 4 at the historic plaque that marksthe original location of the pond before it ranaway. There will be opportunities to walkthe path of destruction and a reenactment ofChamberlain’s tumultuous run for thosehardy souls who choose to participate (andwho pre-register). There will be bus toursthat go from the former pond to the present

day Glover Village site, 5.5 miles down theroad.

Gov. Jim Douglas will be there and there’seven a chance to dunk the hapless miller,Aaron Willson, which he probably richly de-served.

Donations to help support the events arecheerfully solicited.

The process of takinga thought and put-ting it on a page—

then into your memory, thenpresenting it to an audienceto see if it’s effective—is themost rewarding and funpart of my job.

Using someone else’scomedy material makesvery little sense to me.That’s why when I firststarted writing and per-forming, and it became ap-parent my stories and jokeswere salable; I made a rule to use only my original materi-al in my shows.

As time went on, I loosened my own rule and allowedmyself to tell two jokes that I thought were very funny,that fit perfectly into the rhythm of my show, and moreimportantly, were fun to tell. I allowed myself to do thatonly if I told the audience that I didn’t write the jokes.

I recently came upon another joke I like: The next timeyou come to one of my shows you may hear it, not becauseI need material, but because it will fit nicely in certainpockets of my show and, mostly, because the way it’s builtcalls for a type of punch line delivery that’s as much funfor a comic as hitting a walk-off homer is for a baseballplayer. I’ll tell my audience that I didn’t write it. If I dodecide to use it, I may build around it a bit in order topunch it up. It’ll be fun, for me, to see what I come upwith.

Actually I already have built around it. It’s basically atotally new joke, 'cept for the punch line. Guess that’swhat you call “Makin' it your own/Stealin' a joke.” Checkit out. But remember, it’s all in the delivery—

Vermont Farmer was bringing his cows ‘cross the main road,one of the few places in the state it’s still done that way. Out-of-staters just love driving over a path of cow doo. Makes ‘em feelwelcome.

About the time the last cow was ‘cross, a great big Mercedessedan pulled through with Texas license tags; a big ol’ Texas guydrivin’, his big Texas wife next to him, and two big Texas kidsin the backseat. Texas guy stops right n’ the middle of the pathof cow doo—sticks his head out the window, says to the farmer,“This Here ya’lls farm?”

The Vermont Farmer, without looking around says, “Hyuh.” Texan says, real slow like, “Back home in Texas, I get in my

truck, drive from one end of my farm, all the way the other end—it takes me all day to do it.”

Vermont farmer turns to the Texan and says, “I used to havea truck just like that.”

Some trends take so long to play out that it takes thebetter part of a lifetime to observe their ups anddowns. Thus, many long years ago, the movers and

shakers in Vermont were criticized in some quarters for ig-noring local talent and going out-of-state for various sortsof consulting expertise.

I recall the in-state architectural and engineering frater-nities taking umbrage at UVM for using distant consult-ants (rather than local ones) for its never-ending projects.Even local school districts succumbed to the lure of the re-mote which explains why both Middlebury and Swanton(Missisquoi Valley to be precise) were assured by distantexperts that round buildings were, trust us, as inexpensiveas rectangular ones. Swanton bought into the idea, Middle-bury didn’t.

More recently, as self-esteem blossomed in a newly gen-trifying Vermont, distant expert opinion—even statutory—drew less obedience and respect. From handicap access re-quirements to asbestos mitigation, from paper mill air pol-lution to nuclear power concerns, suddenly the federalrules were no longer adequate; the state had no choice butto impose its own more brilliantly designed, and of course,more stringent, requirements instead.

Most recently, a new flexibility of outlook has emerged.Suddenly it has become ok for state government to build acourthouse-in-a-swamp—pardon me, I mean wetland—(Addison County), while lesser mortals are required toavoid barely damp wetlands that aren’t even on a 100-yearflood-zone map.

Conversion of cornfields into housing is verboten, ex-cept when a hospital wants to do it. Building multi-familyhousing on land zoned for multi-family housing isn’t okfor a private developer: Vermont Assistant Attorney Gen.Julie Brill explains that in such matters the actual zoning“really isn’t relevant.”

Faithful replication of destroyed historic buildings is ano-no from the Division of Historic Preservation, exceptwhen town government does it (which makes it ok). Thisexplains why the Town of Ferrisburgh now has an ex-tremely handsome replica of a former Grange Hall alongRoute 7, the main drag. When the town was laid out in thelate 1700s, it was in the form of roadside strip develop-ment—a “lineal village” in respected-planner-speak.

The pejorative description is used only when the mod-ern construction is private-sector in nature and thereforedeserving of opprobrium. (As, for example, the present de-bate about proposed new commercial development alongthe old six-rod-right-of-way highway Route 7 in Ferris-burgh.)

If you read the accountsin the local news media,you’d think the argument iseither about the modern“we don’t care whether theproposal meets the zoningrequirements or not, wedon’t want it” or the equallymodern “we don’t want anyconstruction or pavement toreplace grass and trees”—both reasons widely em-ployed except when a gov-ernmental agency wants tobuild or pave. There’s theexample of the new com-muter parking lot at the supposedly “keep-it-green-forev-er” gateway to Vergennes—all of which had to be protect-ed against any private-sector parking spaces. Montpelier-based asphalt is, of course, superior to the commercial va-riety.

There was a time in Vermont when towns welcomedcommercial-strip development because its taxes helpedpay the bills. This explains why modest little Miracle Milessprang up in Berlin on the road between Montpelier andBarre; on Route 5 north of Brattleboro or on Route 7 southof Middlebury (which providentially installed the utilitiesto service the new development even while pretending todeplore its arrival).

Enter Act 60 and all was changed: why welcome anothermotel or fast-food outlet when the tax take goes to Water-bury and then to some other town’s schools or when thejobs are—as the class-conscious Rutland Herald huffily de-scribed a Manchester economy-motel proposal—“not thesort the town needs”?

If you accept my contention that the major developmentissues in Vermont (not counting the various “we don’twant it, even if we’re already zoned for it” tropes heardwhen a typical entrepreneur applies for a typical permit)are based on private-sector construction and public-sectorurban bypass questions, you’d be interested to note thatexperts—remote in space or time or both and mostly en-dowed with common sense if not doctorates—once provid-ed solutions which work.

Thus, it’s worth looking at Route 22A, the modern de-scendant of a military highway first laid out in the early1800s to miss the village centers of Benson, Orwell, Shore-ham, and Bridport. And what about campus versus stripdevelopment for commercial?

What local control?

Keep on truckin’

By Lou Varricchio

There appears tobe no end to thecurrent contro-

versy over the 2006 de-motion of Pluto—fromthe ninth planet of thesolar system since firstdiscovered in 1930—tomangy dwarf planet sta-tus.

When a few membersof the International As-tronomical Union (IAU)met in Prague that yearto consider the question,their deliberations creat-ed a firestorm among as-tronomers and planetary scientists;many, notably in the United States,protested loudly that they weren’t in-vited to be part of the discussion.Among the protesters is Alan Stern,principal investigator of NASA’s NewHorizon probe now past the half waypoint for a fast flyby of distant Pluto.

A portion of the space science com-munity was upset over how the ques-tion was handled—and by most ac-counts, the Pluto decision was han-dled badly. Science can be messy andthere’s nothing messier than the cur-rent tug of war over planetary seman-tics.

At the heart of the storm is the def-inition of just what a planet shouldbe. To be classified as a plant, must acelestial body be a certain size? Mustit have a “traditional” orbit around itssun? Must it be composed of rock orice (or both)?

According to Internet sciencewriter Robert Roy Britt, “The IAU's fi-nal proposal was lambasted by manyastronomers for having been slappedtogether at the last minute and for notadhering to recommendations fromtwo separate committees.”

NASA astronomer David Morrisonattended the August 2006 IAU meet-ing and was one of the few Americansin attendance for the final vote de-moting Pluto.

"The definition of a planet is notprimarily a science issue. Scientists

can use all sorts ofjargon," Morrisonsaid in a news storylast week about theIAU vote. "This issueis of interest becausenon-scientists, in-cluding writers ofscience textbooks,want a definition.Now they have one.But it is not obviousto me that planetaryscientists will adjusttheir terminology be-cause of the IAUvotes."

So, then, dwarf or otherwise, isn’tPluto still a planet?

"Yes and no," Morrison said. "Theanswer is semantic, based on whetherdwarf planets are planets, just asdwarf pines are pines. I would saythat Pluto is a planet, but it is a dwarfplanet, and the first example of the(new) class of trans-Neptunian dwarf

planets. Ultimately, the definition of aplanet will come through common us-age and scientific utility. There is noneed to throw away current schooltexts; Pluto has not gone away."

In the meantime, according to AlanStern, the New Horizons primarymission to Pluto hasn’t changed.When it arrives at Pluto in July 2015 itwill unlock one of the solar system'senduring planetary secrets. Thespacecraft will skim the orbits of alleight planets, from Earth to Neptune,and then fly by Pluto and its largemoon Charon. Seven science instru-ments on the probe will shed light onthe dwarf planets’ geology, interiorand atmospheres.

Chester was a center for horse owners and dealers, with many horse trails locatedall over the town. The house burned down in 1965 and was a total loss, before aranch house was built in it's place.

Conference discusses ‘at risk’ youthBy Paula Townsend

LUDLOW—“Don’t call kids at risk, call them on the brinkof success,” said Susan Weinberger at last week’s Vermontstatewide Mentoring Matters conference. With 36 years ex-perience as a high school teacher and administrator, Wein-berger told conference attendees that she “never witnesseda more powerful intervention than mentoring.”

The 94 attendees included teachers and counselors fromas far away as Maine and New York. They learned fromWeinberger that mentoring is as old as humanity, but had itsformal beginnings with Aristotle and Plato mentoring phi-losophy students in the marketplace of ancient Athens.

Workshops at the conference covered topics such as part-nering with local businesses, evaluating your program foreffectiveness and crisis prevention; the event was co-pre-sented by Kinney Pike Insurance and Big Brothers Big Sis-ters of Windham County.

Mentoring is an effective intervention and has beenshown to reduce a young person’s likelihood to smoke by 27percent, propensity to use drugs by 46 percent and to de-crease the likelihood of skipping school by 52 percent.

Windsor County Partners offers mentoring partnershipsto Windsor County youth between 8 and 17 who could ben-efit from a long term, trusting relationship. The program is

similar to Big Brothers Big Sisters of America. Partners arematched according to proximity, interests and personality.

Story by Robert F. Smith with additional material and photoprovided by the Bellows Falls Alumni Association

Each year the BellowsFalls Alumni Associa-tion honors a member ofthe community to serveas Grand Marshal forAlumni Weekend. Thisyear the Bellows FallsAlumni Association haschosen Steve James asGrand Marshal for the2010 Alumni Weekend.

James is known most-ly because of his busi-nesses, James Plumbing& Heating, which heand his family haveowned and operated forthe past 43 years, andSpeedy Steve’s, a laun-dromat he operates inNorth Walpole, NH.

Throughout the yearsJames has been a dedicated family man, business man, andan overall outstanding citizen. Everyone in the communitywho knows him personally knows that he is the first to of-fer a helping hand to anyone in need.

He has been known to receive phone calls not just forfrozen pipes, but also from ailing elderly neighbors, who hewillingly transported to their doctors’ offices or the hospi-tal as needed.

He served on the local Bellows Falls Fire Department from1970 to 1984. In February of 1982 he heroically entered theburning Star Hotel through a third floor window and atgreat personal risk rescued two elderly women, one ofwhom was disabled.

Over the years he has generously opened his home toeveryone in the community. It has been commonplace forhim to welcome large groups of friends, family, and neigh-bors to his house for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Many peo-ple in the community have fond memories of sitting on hissun porch, eating kielbasa, fried eggs, or his famous pan-cakes, talking and reminiscing about Bellows Falls. His cus-tomers often came to pay their bills in person; he would of-ten give their children treats – popsicles, juice boxes, DevilDogs or baggies full of freshly popped popcorn.

James was born and raised in Walpole, NH on the familyfarm. He married Carol Barry of Bellows Falls in 1965 andhas been a resident ever since. They have three children andseven grandchildren all of Bellows Falls. Steve, now semi-retired, enjoys working in his garden, and spending timewith his family and friends in the great outdoors, as he isan avid hunter and fisherman.

Even though Steve is not an graduate of Bellows FallsHigh School, he loves this town he calls home, and the spir-it of Bellows Falls lives in his heart.

The All-America Flower Selections pro-gram is an awards program for new flowerand vegetable introductions, grown fromseeds, which must bloom the first year in thecase of flowers. In the past, winners were re-leased to display gardens a year prior totheir public introduction for sale. This yearmarks the first time winners are being re-leased for sale as they are announced.

The four flower winners previously se-lected for 2010 include the compact, yellowblanket flower 'Mesa Yellow'. 'TwinnyPeach' is a snapdragon with butterfly, dou-ble peach flowers-- a snapdragon withoutflowers that go snap when pinched! 'En-durio Sky Blue Martien' is the latest violawinner, flowers under an inch across and asky blue. 'Zahara Starlight Rose' is a newzinnia, about a foot tall, that stands out withits white flowers and contrasting rose-redcenters.

The most recently announced award win-ners for 2010 include two more zinnias in theZahara series: 'Double Zahara Cherry' and'Double Zahara Fire'.

The former is of course a cherry pink, thelatter is a rich reddish orange, and both aredouble with many petals. All three winnersin this series of zinnias are about a foot highand wide, with flowers 2 inches or moreacross. Being a cross of more than onespecies, this Zahara series has good resist-ance to leaf spot and powdery mildew dis-eases. Plan on a couple months from sowingto first flowers.

There is a marigold winner this year, thefirst one in several years. 'Moonsong DeepOrange' is a hybrid African type. Some pre-fer to call these American marigolds, as thisgenus is originally from Mexico to SouthAmerica, not Africa. This marigold getsabout a foot high, and should be spacedabout a foot apart. Its dense, double flow-ers are a deep orange and about 3 inchesacross. Start seeds 4 to 6 weeks before the

last frost when you can plant outside. Un-like many newer annuals you find for salenow that need lots of fertilizer, too much fer-tilizer for this one will give lots of greenleaves with few flowers.

The only vegetable winner for this year isa globe-shaped watermelon. 'Shiny Boy' hasred flesh, dark seeds, a sweet tropical flavor,and a crisp texture. It is a vigorous hybrid,with vines growing up to 12 feet and fruitreaching 20 pounds. Start checking fruit forripeness about 75 days from transplanting.It tolerates severe weather, and can be grownin vertical gardens (with proper supportgiven, of course, for the fruit such as a meshbag or cloth sling).

Look for seeds in mail-order catalogs, andseed racks this spring at your local gardenstore. For more details on these and past All-America winners, visit their website(www.all-americaselections.org).

Lt. Gov. candidate finishes in top 10By Lou Varricchio

[email protected]

WEST HAVEN—If politics makes strange bedfellows, ac-cording to 19th-century essayist Charles Dudley Warner,what bedfellows does politics and auto racing make for?Well, how about average voters, that is, folks like you andme. At least that’s how State Sen. Phil Scott sees it.

Politician and race-car driver Scott of Middlesex clearlyknows that auto racing makes for lots of thrills—probably afew more thrills than debating some ho-hum bill underMontpelier ’s golden-dome. And being a long-time driver,Scott knows that a race track is an ideal place to meet thosereal Vermonters—the down-to-earth folks who vote in everyelection; the same folks who bear the burden of paying highproperty taxes while keeping the state’s economy afloatwith their “buy local” purchasing power.

With Scott running now for the Vermont lieutenant gov-ernor ’s seat, what better place to kick off a statewide cam-paign than at Devil’s Bowl, one of the state’s premiere autotracks. So, three-time Thunder Road champion Scott decid-ed to toss his cap in the West Haven oval last weekend foran exciting afternoon of racing.

The 2010 campaign being Scott’s first statewide politicaleffort, he wanted to time his campaign kick-off with Devil’sBowl opening day.

When the American Canadian Tour announced that theLate Model division from Thunder Road would be openingthe new asphalt topped Devil’s Bowl Speedway last week,Scott was the first to vote “yes”.

An avid Vermont outdoorsman and one of the most suc-cessful stock car racers in the state’s history, Scott tried thefirst-ever ACT 100 lap feature event at the newly paved ovalthat serves fans from west of the Green Mountains, particu-larly Rutland County.

“I certainly was happy when I learned that we were open-ing the Thunder Road season at the new Devil’s Bowl,” Scotttold the news media before the race. “I remember the histo-ry of the old days when the five track series included theRutland track.

“My focus was to try and win the race, but shaking a fewhands and getting to know some folks in the Rutland-Addi-son area was be a great opportunity for me,” he said afterthe race.

Over 25 ACT race teams christened the new asphalt at the

opening event. As it turned out, Scott, Nick Sweet, Mike Bailey, Tony An-

drews, and rookie Chris Riendeau were in the top ten of the100-lap event. Montpelier ’s Dave Pembroke took the win.He jockyed with Rutland’s Mike Bruno for the majority ofthe race.

Terriers surprise Leland & GrayStory by Joe Milliken, photos by Doug MacPhee

WESTMINSTER —The Bellows Falls Union High Schoolbaseball team recently got a big win over the defending, Di-vision III state champion Leland & Gray, knocking off theRebels, 8-2, in Bellows Falls.

The Terriers perhaps played their most complete game ofthe season, putting together some runs early on, while alsolimiting their mistakes, something that has hurt them attimes during the year.

Cooper Long got the start for the Terriers and pitchedwell, giving up only two runs while striking out six. "Theweather was warm and my arm felt really good today," thepitcher told reporters after the game. "We hit the ball whenwe needed to and got some key runs early in the game."

Bellows Falls jumped out early with a run in the first in-ning, when leadoff hotter Matt Marchica singled, stole sec-ond, then scored on a errant throw while trying to stealthird.

The Terriers would get another run in the third on back-to-back singles from Forrest Coleman and Marchica, beforeanother wild throw on an attempted steal produced anoth-er run.

The Terriers made the score 3-0 in the fourth when Jere-my Kilburn walked and stole second, before scoring on astrange infield pop up that no one could get to, allowing Kil-burn to come all the way around to score.

The Rebels finally got on the board in the fifth inning onan error, a Drew Barnum single and a Brandon Reilly groundout. However the Terriers came right back with two moreruns on two walks, an infield hit from Luke Brophy and abeautiful squeeze bunt from Kilburn.

Then on the very next play, the Terriers tried anothersqueeze play, working it to perfection as Long laid down an-other bunt to score Marchica . An infield error then bre-ought in another run and an 8-1 lead, before the Rebels gotone more in the seventh. The Terriers added two more runslate on a couple wild pitches from reliever Tyler Russell.

Leland & Gray starter Gabe Pozzi pitched well enough todeserve a better fate, taking the loss despite striking out six,however he also walked five and on this day, didn't havethe normally stingy Rebel defense behind him.
