• Enfield man accused of strangling 5-year-old before school (nhregister.com) — An Enfield man has been arrested after police say he strangled a 5‑year‑old boy before school last spring, following a report from staff at Enfield Street School. Officers allege he blocked the child's airway, while a co‑defendant from Enfield is accused of failing to protect the boy or seek medical help.
• Valley Panthers run past Bacon Academy/Lyman in season-opening win (norwichbulletin.com) — Valley's football team opened its season with a 26–17 win and now heads to Enfield next Saturday for a non‑league matchup against CREC.

• Springfield's Ride to Remember will honor 9/11 victims (masslive.com) — Cyclists in Saturday's Ride to Remember will pass through Enfield along the Connecticut River as part of a 75‑mile tribute to 9/11 victims and fallen first responders.
