Today's riddle: What do evil hens lay? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Person rescued from New North End house fire (mychamplainvalley.com) — Firefighters rescued a person trapped inside a burning home on Hale Court in Burlington's New North End late Sunday night, and the victim is now being treated at UVM Medical Center. Burlington, UVM Rescue, and South Burlington crews responded while Winooski and Colchester departments provided coverage, and investigators are asking anyone with information to contact the Fire Marshal's Office.
2. Burlington murder charge follows weekend of knife and gun crimes, police say (burlingtonfreepress.com) — Burlington police say a Winooski man has been charged with second-degree murder after a fatal stabbing downtown, one of several knife and gun incidents over a single weekend. City leaders stress that overall violent crime is trending down but acknowledge residents' safety concerns and call for more work on youth violence, gun laws, and basic needs.
3. South Burlington city leaders work to regulate electric mobility devices amid bike safety concerns (mynbc5.com) — South Burlington officials are advancing an ordinance that would ban high-powered e-motos and similar devices from shared-use paths, while still allowing regular e-bikes and scooters. The move follows multiple incidents on the Burlington Bike Path, including a teen's death, and a public hearing in September will shape the final rules for local riders and walkers.
4. ECHO and GlobalFoundries to Expand STEM Education Offerings (sevendaysvt.com) — A new five-year partnership between Burlington's ECHO Leahy Center and GlobalFoundries will bring expanded STEM programs to local students and teachers, including mobile festivals and a yearlong teacher institute. The collaboration aims to link the wonder of ECHO's Burlington waterfront exhibits with nearby high-tech career paths, while reaching more rural communities across Vermont with hands-on science experiences.
5. Nutrition a key ingredient for Vermont students heading back to school (wcax.com) — With kids heading back to school in Burlington and statewide, a UVM Medical Center pediatrician stresses that three balanced meals—especially breakfast—are crucial for learning and energy. She highlights Vermont's universal free school meals, which ensure every public-school student can access nutritious breakfasts and lunches without stigma or income barriers.
