Pikes Falls Road Washouts Highlight Vermont Flood
In Stratton and Bondville, earlier storms caused knee to waist deep water, washing out culverts and flooding homes and farms. Residents—including Madeline Brazer, Ruth Hamilton, Jane Rannow, and Kathy Ross—saved livestock and sought higher ground as Pikes Falls and surrounding roads flooded. Community members donated help while officials tally repair costs, noting the flood’s damage exceeded past storms.

Opie land dispute over zoning, mortgage, and forest sale
The Opie case edges toward appeals as Columbia Plywood forecloses on a mortgage nearly $13,000 delinquent. A stalled agreement with Stamford, a Vermont zoning ruling, and Forest Service plans cloud the land sale to a National Forest. Townsfolk weigh options while the forest seeks to buy Opie property and 420 acres along the Appalachian Trail.
