Today's riddle: Why did the weatherman's cheeks turn pink? 🤔 (Answer below!)
Weather forecast:
1. Wilton Police Report Reveals Major Shift In 2025 Crime, Crash Data (patch.com) — Wilton’s latest police report shows notable drops in overall crime, motor vehicle thefts, and crashes in 2025, along with a second straight year without a fatal crash. Officers handled nearly 15,000 service calls while significantly limiting use-of-force incidents, which officials say reflects a broader commitment to protecting victims and preserving Wilton’s quality of life.
2. Procedural Questions Give BOS Pause on Gilbert & Bennett Study Work (goodmorningwilton.com) — Wilton’s Board of Selectmen is pressing for clearer procedures around studies shaping the future of the town-owned Gilbert & Bennett property, including who can form committees and contact town counsel. The discussion also revived questions about a previously quiet brewery proposal, as officials emphasize transparency and proper governance before any redevelopment moves forward.
3. Boucher Drafts First Pride Proclamation for Wilton as Supporters Praise Decision (goodmorningwilton.com) — Wilton’s first selectman has drafted the town’s first-ever Pride Month proclamation for June 2026, signaling a shift in how the community publicly supports LGBTQ+ residents. After earlier debate over permits for the Wilton Pride celebration, supporters praised the move at a Board of Selectmen meeting, saying it aligns with Wilton’s “Where You Belong” message and is especially meaningful for local youth and families.
4. NFA takes emergency enforcement action against Vespula Capital Management (fxnewsgroup.com) — A Wilton-based investment firm, Vespula Capital Management, is under emergency restrictions from the National Futures Association after regulators alleged about $2 million was improperly moved from one of its funds. The action doesn’t suspend the firm but tightly limits its trading, transfers, and fundraising until a full accounting of investor assets is completed.
5. North Carolina's Chloe Humphrey may be the best ever in lacrosse. Her journey started in Connecticut. (thehour.com) — Wilton gets a nod in this profile of Darien lacrosse star Chloe Humphrey, now dominating for national champion North Carolina. The story highlights her Connecticut roots, including matchups against Wilton defenders and UNC teammate Addison Pattillo from Wilton, while previewing UNC’s push for another NCAA title and Humphrey’s upcoming trip to Japan with the U.S. national team.
