Black River Water Testing Results for Wed Aug. 2: The E.coli levels at the Cavendish Gorge area (59 CFU) and Greven Field (88 CFU) are safe for swimming and recreational use. The EPA’s upper limit for swimming is 235 CFU. All sites tested on the Black River by BRAT were found to be safe as well: Buttermilk Falls (22 CFU); Little Ascutney Rd (135 CFU); and Downers Covered Bridge on Upper Falls Rd (19 CFU). Please note that it is recommended to stay out of the rivers and lakes within 24 hours of a heavy rain, or anytime the water looks cloudy, as Ecoli levels can be a lot higher at these times. Thank you BRAT and Okemo for providing us with this invaluable service.

Passing of Stan Hart: It is with deep sadness that we learned of the passing of Stan Hart, who lived part of the time in Proctorsville with his wife Jane.

Thank you Stan for bringing your joy and gift of laughter to so many.
