David C. Brown, 83, puts away a piece of scrap pipe after it proved unsuitable as a temporary drain for water from a muddy spot where he plans to install a culvert near his Hartford, Vt., home Friday, April 5, 2019. Brown maintains the cul-de-sac on land that was part of his parents' farm before 100 acres were taken by eminent domain to build the interchange between I-89 and I-91. (Valley News - James M.
