A Southport selectboard decision to fill in the pond at Southport Central School drew about 20 protesters to the pond early Monday morning, Jan. 18.
Word spread through Facebook, emails and phone calls on Sunday that a construction crew was to show up Monday morning to begin the work of eliminating the pond.
