📰 News we're reading
• Vermont high school sports scores, results, stats for Tuesday, May 12 (burlingtonfreepress.com) — Stowe High School teams feature prominently in today’s statewide sports slate, with road and home matchups in tennis and other spring sports against Hartford, Mount Mansfield, and Rice. The schedule lets local fans know when and where Stowe athletes are competing this afternoon and evening. It’s a handy snapshot if you’re planning to catch a game after school or work. 
• VSP briefs: New charges in home improvement fraud & threatening cases (waterburyroundabout.org) — A contractor now listing a Stowe home address has been cited to appear in Washington County Superior Court in June on home improvement fraud-related charges tied to work in Waterbury. Vermont State Police are also pursuing a separate criminal threatening case involving a different Waterbury contractor. Troopers invite anyone with relevant information to contact the Berlin barracks or submit an anonymous tip.
• The truth is more complicated (hardwickgazette.org) — Stowe residents are part of a legislative district watching Vermont’s opioid deaths finally decline after several brutal years, thanks to expanded treatment, naloxone, and harm-reduction work. The article stresses that addiction and fentanyl remain entrenched, warns that funding cuts could reverse progress, and argues that alcohol abuse is an overlooked but major driver of health and social harm statewide.
