Longtime locals still recall the dark night of Sept. 12, 1964, when farmer Romaine Tenney held up a lantern at the only home he had known since his birth in 1900.
The property had never been wired for power. But that wasn’t why the 64-year-old lit the flame.
Bulldozers were hours away from plowing through to pave the way for Interstate 91. In anticipation, Tenney shuttered himself inside and set everything ablaze.
“When I came out of my front door a mile away, I knew it was a big fire,” Rod Spaulding, then a 23-year-old volunteer first responder, recalled to this reporter on the 50th anniversary in 2014.
Ginger Wimberg was a teenager growing up in New Jersey when she picked up the paper and grimaced at the headlines — “State Took Farm, But Over Man’s Dead Body” was just one — published nationwide.
“I can remember just where I was sitting when I read this,” Wimberg, who would move to Vermont and become president of the Weathersfield Historical Society, recalled 10 years ago. “It just stuck out to be so sad.”
This month, Tenney’s story lives on as one of the most haunting moments in the state’s ever-evolving timeline. Yet upon the 60th anniversary, you won’t see much of a memorial, save a plaque near the sole remaining tree stump at what’s now a park-and-ride lot off Exit 8.
As the decades motor by, travelers who stop don’t hear as many memories. Both Spaulding and Wimberg died earlier this year, decreasing the number of residents who can tell the tale.
“There definitely are still people in town who knew Romaine,” Ellen Clattenburg, the current historical society president, said in an interview. “But there are fewer and fewer.”

The 5K9 offers both a 5K route as well as a 1-mile option.

For those not quite up to the full 5K trail, we’re also offering a fantastic 1-mile course which is just as much fun.
The registration fee is $30 for the 5K trail and $20 for the 1-mile trail. All participants completing the 5K9 will receive a custom Lucy Mac 5K9 medal!

60 years later, a Vermont farmer’s tragic tale lives on. But for how much longer?
On Sept. 12, 1964, Romaine Tenney locked himself in his Weathersfield house and lit it on fire to protest its imminent bulldozing for Interstate 91. Today, fewer and fewer neighbors are around to share his story.by Kevin O'Connor

New Foliage Forecasting Map Launched
The Vermont Department of Tourism has launched a new Foliage Forecaster Map
According to their website "This map’s animation is a good approximation of how Vermont’s fall foliage typically unfolds over the course of a handful of weeks between mid-September and late October. Toggle between weeks at the bottom of the map to see how foliage progresses throughout the state, from the early stage through mid, peak, and late foliage."

New details of a 2022 murder in Springfield illustrate an extensive police investigation that tied together the alleged major players in a particularly violent period for the town.
Vermont State Police last week announced the arrest of Paul Lachapelle Jr., who is charged with the murder of Justin Gilliam in Springfield more than two years ago.
Documents in that case reveal how police worked a web of sources, leading them to bullet casings and a burnt car stashed in two different graveyards, and potential evidence cast into nearby rivers. A drug trafficking hierarchy appears in court records, with Lachapelle Jr. allegedly taking orders from Anibal “Papi” Castro Sr. and Jonathan Castro, both of whom were arrested in a federally led drug raid later that year on Valley Street.
Neither of the Castros has been charged in connection with Gilliam’s murder.
Detective Sgt. Francis LaBombard detailed the investigation in a 13-page graphic affidavit filed in court last week.

EEE has come to Vermont. Here’s what you need to know about this mosquito-based virus.
An uptick in the mosquito-based illness has led to event cancellations and a health department warning to stay inside at night in northwestern Vermont.by Erin Petenko
A blood-sucking creature that comes at dusk is frightening Vermonters this summer.
No, it’s not a vampire. It’s Culiseta melanura — one mosquito species responsible for spreading the eastern equine encephalitis virus, a rare and sometimes fatal disease.
A man in New Hampshire died of the disease in August, and a person in Chittenden County has recently tested positive for the virus. That case and an uptick in mosquitoes turning up with the virus led the Vermont Department of Health to issue an advisory last week recommending that Vermonters in several northwestern Vermont communities stay inside from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m.
Those high-risk areas include Alburgh, Colchester, Swanton and Burlington, the state’s largest city. Several Burlington events, including Oktoberfest and the Intervale Center’s Summervale, have been canceled over EEE concerns.
Other events, like Burlington’s Twilight series, are scrambling to find indoor locations, according to mayor’s office spokesperson Joe Magee. Schools in high-risk areas are moving around sports practices and back-to-school events to protect against the virus, Vermont Public reported.

First residents to move into White River Junction apartments for chronically homeless this month
The project dates back to 2017 and is a collaboration between Twin Pines Housing, Upper Valley Haven and St. Paul’s Episcopal Church.by Valley News
This story by Emma Roth-Wells was first published in the Valley News on Sept. 5.
WHITE RIVER JUNCTION — Six people are expected to move into a new home for the chronically homeless off of Route 5 in White River Junction by the end of the month.
Their soon to be new home is a three-story, 18,000-square-foot building, with 18 one-bedroom units that neighbors both St. Paul’s Episcopal Church and Upper Valley Haven. In addition to housing, each resident will receive case management services from Upper Valley Haven, support from Twin Pines’ staff, and their own quilt made by Bugbee Senior Center residents, St. Paul’s Knit and Pearl group, and a few local neighbors.
Around 70 people attended a ribbon cutting event on Wednesday evening. Among those who spoke was U.S. Rep. Becca Balint, D-Vt.
“Housing is the foundation upon which we all try to build our lives,” Balint said in her address to the audience, “and a place like this that is situated with supports around it, means the folks living here are going to be held by the entire community and not feel like they’re in isolation.”
