For generations, potable water from the Quabbin Reservoir has been enjoyed by residents in dozens of cities and towns in central and eastern Massachusetts. However, many communities that line the reservoir don't have access to this precious resource, and as a new study looks to expand the MWRA network, many Quabbin-area residents feel they're not getting proper recompense for providing this water to much of the Commonwealth. Sen. Jo Comerford (D-Hampshire, Franklin, Worcester) says it's time to change that. She joins Nichole on the show this week to talk about her new bill on Beacon Hill that she hopes will create more equity when it comes to water distribution from the Quabbin.

There's a move on Beacon Hill to correct what some lawmakers say is an injustice that dates back nearly 100 years, to when the state created the enormous Quabbin Reservoir.

How is poetry like skipping stones across the surface of a lake? How might a poem be like an undelivered letter or package? Matthew Zapruder joins the podcast to talk about James Tate's "Quabbin Reservoir," a poem that raises those and other questions—and does so with Tate's gorgeous ear for weird idiom, full of both humor and feeling. (For the backstory on the place this poem is—at least on its surface—about, see this story.)Matthew Zapruder is the author of five books of poems, including, most recently, Father's Day (Copper Canyon, 2019), and two books of prose: Why Poetry (Ecco, 2017) and Story of a Poem: A Memoir (Unnamed, 2023). He is editor at large at Wave Books and teaches in the MFA in Creative Writing at Saint Mary's College of California.

The story of the Quabbin Reservoir is a story we've encountered in the past at SMG's ‘Are We Here Yet?' Podcast. Season one guest Levi Baruch and yours truly spoke of the on-going consequences of the forming of the Quabbin and questions of land-use that permeate to this day.  The Quabbin is a utility.  It is the public drinking water supply for Boston and the Metropolitan District. The Quabbin is a place.  It is striking how beautiful it is when one encounters its vastness and seeming purity.  It is also a place of pain.  If you believe a place can have a soul, the feeling that comes to mind when in the midst of the former river valley is: loss.  More than anything the Quabbin is people.  Our guest Elena Palladino intends to tell the story of the people of the Swift River Valley through the lens of three of those people.  Her book, Lost Towns of the Swift River Valley Drowned by the Quabbin tells the story of Marion Andrews Smith, daughter of the largest industrial family in the valley. Willard “Doc” Segur was the valley's beloved country doctor and town leader. The third voice heard from in her book was Edwin Henry Howe, Enfield's postmaster and general store proprietor. Learn More about the Quabbin House Elena came to their story in a very personal way.  Her family resides in the Quabbin House, developed by Marion Andrews Smith which includes parts taken from her family residence in Enfield, MA prior to its destruction to make way for the massive water management project.   Our conversation paints a vivid picture of their involvement in the end of their community and how they and subsequent generations chose to move on following the flooding of the valley to form the Quabbin. We spoke about the road to get there which began in earnest in 1895 and the elements of the Quabbin story which resonate into our time.    Where can I order Lost Towns of the Swift River Valley… Connect with the author on Facebook or Instagram

In this week's episode, host Daniel Raimi talks with Jennifer Eaglin, an associate professor of history and faculty member in the Sustainability Institute at the Ohio State University. Eaglin discusses the evolution of sugar-based ethanol as a fuel source for transportation and the lessons that governments can draw from that evolution for their own development of alternative energy sources. Eaglin and Raimi also talk about how the ethanol industry came to prominence in Brazil and how its use improved air quality while damaging water quality, ecosystems, and certain Brazilian communities.

Before the Flood: Destruction, Community, and Survival in the Drowned Towns of the Quabbin by Elisabeth C. Rosenberg In the tradition of Silent Spring, a modern parable of the American experience and our paradoxical relationship with the natural world. Though it seems a part of the "natural" landscape of New England today, the Swift River Valley reservoir, dam, dike, and nature area was a triumph of civil engineering. It combined forward-looking environmental stewardship and social policy, yet the “little people”—and the four towns in which they lived—got lost along the way. Elisabeth Rosenberg has crafted Before the Flood to be both a modern and a universal story in a time when managed retreat will one day be a reality. Meticulously researched, Before the Flood, is the first narrative book on the incredible history of the Swift River Valley and the origins Quabbin Reservoir. Rosenberg dive into the socioeconomic and psychological aspects of the Swift River Valley's destruction in order to supply drinking water for the growing populations of Boston and wider Massachusetts. It is as much a human story as the story of water and landscape, and Before the Flood movingly reveals both the stories and the science of the key players and the four flooded towns that were washed forever away.

It was such a great honor to have Mike Richard join us for this episode of Coach's Academy.  Mike was in the Quabbin Regional class of 1974 and became and avid sports writer.Mike has been sports writing for 42 years now and even though he lives in Cape Cod he continues to write for the Gardner News and be very much involved in Central Mass sports.  After graduating he was an English teacher at Quabbin and even began coaching wrestling and softball.  This guys memory of all events that happened at Quabbin or nearby schools was absolutely tremendous.  He was such a great guest to have on the show as he told so many great stories of things he saw and wrote about.  If you have a chance read some of his stories as said he still writes for the Gardner News and for the Cape Cod league in baseball.We hope everyone enjoys this show as much as we did.  Thank you for listening and enjoy!!

We had two great former Quabbin sports players join us that are now moving their way up in the coaching ranks.  Rich brought these two on board with us to have them talk to the younger crowd out there that might be thinking of coaching.Anthony Deleo who has had some luck so far with his coaching opportunities started by playing baseball for Rich at Quabbin Regional High School.  He played college ball at Bridgewater State and after his playing career has bounced around with a couple of clubs.  He has started by coaching in the Cape Cod league with some up and coming Major League stars and has now moved on to coaching with NJIT.  Patrick Ackerman also a former sports start at Quabbin Regional, played basketball with Kellin and is known to have been a part of coaching from the day he was born.  His father being the coach at Assumption College, Pat was destined to be a part of coaching.  He had some playing days in College with Penn State and Detroit.  After his playing days were over he went on to coach with the University of Nevada Reno and moved with his coaching friend to Arkansas who had a great run in the tournament this year.Fo you young people out there that love playing the sports but know that possibly the professional level is not something for the future these two guys explain all of it very well.  They tell of the hardships and the reasons why they keep doing it.  There is some great advice out there from these two.I hope everyone is enjoying the episodes and hope you enjoy this as well!!

In Episode #18 'Reconnect to Your Humanity' we discuss the physical and spiritual return to the land, to a sense of rurality and of knowledge and to our humanity with Wesleyan student Levi Baruch.  Levi Baruch is a 20 year old student, writer, and multidisciplinary artist. He is far from home now, studying landscape architecture and fine art cartography in Los Angeles. As briefly discussed, upcoming projects include research on the Swift River Valley and Quabbin reservoir as a framework to explore the weaponization of water against communities that threaten the status quo. Interview, folklore, photography, and historical ephemera will assist in showing these stories. Levi is looking forward to a return to his home in the woods of Orange, Massachusetts.

Continuing the discussion of removing cemeteries for public works projects from last week, I look at the example of Quabbin Park Cemetery in Ware, MA and use it as a jumping off point to discuss why the cultural landscape and context in a cemetery is important, and how this is perhaps the greatest loss in cemetery removals. www.tombwithaview.weebly.comtombwithaviewpodcast@gmail.comInstagram: tomb.with.a.viewFacebook: Tomb with a View PodcastTo get a look at the underwater exploration of the Quabbin check out this video They look at the site of the Enfield Congregational Church cemetery starting around timestamp 26:47 continuing through 32:46.

For centuries before the Quabbin reservoir opened, Boston struggled to provide enough clean, fresh water for its growing population. One of the solutions to this problem was a new reservoir built at Chestnut Hill in the 1880s. The pumping station at this reservoir was home to enormous steam powered pumping engines, and it’s preserved today as the Metropolitan Waterworks Museum. Eric Peterson joins us this week to talk about the history of Boston’s water supply, steam power, and a brilliant engineer who designed the steam pumps that provided Boston’s water.

The ghostly remains of four towns can be found at the bottom of Boston's drinking supply. The townsfolk were forced to leave in the 1930s when the state of Massachusetts flooded the area to create a reservoir. But there are many who keep alive the memory of the Swift River Valley.

Find the show notes and photos at this link Lost Apples of the Quabbin is a presentation by Al Sax and Matt Kaminsky documenting their 2016 research and quest for mapping out the apple trees in this historical reservoir region. The Quabbin Reservoir was created to supply water to eastern Massachusetts. This construction required moving out the residents and unincorporating 4 towns Dana, Prescott, Enfiled, and Greenwich. Needless to say, this was an extreme hardship for the residents as people, homes and the entire landscape was changed to create the massive reservoir. How big is the Quabbin Reservoir? unlike what I said in the podcast (10,000 acres) it is 120,000 acres Al and Matt are looking for unknown apple varieties that might still be left on the hillsides and mountain tops that were left untouched so many years later.

Senate Budget Alert GOAL is asking our members to contact their Massachusetts state senator and ask that they OPPOSE senate budget amendment #888. The amendment would establish mandates to wildlife management programs within the Division of Fisheries and Wildlife (DFW) as well as establish a “working group” for those programs. GOAL is well aware that the establishment of a rattlesnake population on a Quabbin island has become very controversial with local residents. All levels of management for fisheries and wildlife have apologized for the mishandling of the project and have placed the project on hold while they hear and address the concerns of local residents and legislators. GOAL has not taken a stance for or against the establishment of a new snake colony. Our concern comes with keeping politics out of the professional management of our wildlife resources and protecting millions of dollars of firearm owner's money! Millions of dollars every year that are collected through excise taxes from the sale of firearms and ammunition partially fund the DFW. It is because of this that GOAL carefully watches how your money is being spent. If we were to allow political mandates like amendment #888 to pass, it would not be a far reach to see future mandates on everything the DFW is involved in. Can you imagine extremist groups lobbying to remove funding for managing deer, turkey, or pheasant hunting? How about mandating working groups to study hunting or fishing in general? Every program that you cherish and pay for would be at jeopardy if we allow mandates like this to move forward! Regardless of where you stand on the snake project, please stand with GOAL and prevent the future politicization of professional wildlife management. Please call your Massachusetts state senator today and ask them to oppose senate budget amendment #888 and protect professional wildlife management. Learn about the Wildlife and Sport Fish Restoration Program: http://wsfrprograms.fws.gov/Subpages/AboutUs/ItemsTaxedJan2011.pdf Amendment #888 - Timber Rattlesnakes Mr. Lesser moved that the proposed new text be amended, in Section 2, in item 2310-0200, by adding at the end thereof, the following:- “provided further, that no state funding, resources, or personnel shall in any way be used to establish or re-establish a population of venomous Timber Rattlesnakes in a location they presently do not exist; and provided further that the Division of Fisheries and Wildlife shall establish a working group to recommend the best ways to protect the Timber Rattlesnake population in locations where they presently exist.”
