📰 News we're reading

1. Stowe Police Department statistics, Sept. 20-26 (vtcng.com) — Stowe police handled 118 incidents between Sept. 20 and 26, including a structure fire at the historic former Tubbs Factory on River Road and several fights, threats, and noise complaints across town. Officers also responded to crashes on Main and Depot streets, a theft at Maplefields, harassment at Stowe Village Market, and multiple well-being checks and traffic stops in local neighborhoods.
   

2. Half of Stowe homes are on the rental registry (vtcng.com) — Nearly half of all homes in Stowe are now on the town’s short-term rental registry, as about 1,850 properties were signed up before new rules took effect. The selectboard’s ordinance sets an aspirational cap of 850 rentals, phases out some commercial listings, and may eventually use a lottery for new non-resident hosts, leaving officials and residents watching how it reshapes neighborhoods and housing options.
   

3. Oct. 1 Washington District Senate candidate forum video available (hardwickgazette.org) — A full video is now available of the Washington County Senate candidate forum that brought six contenders, including Stowe Republican Peter Schmeeckle, to debate at the Stowe Free Library and Montpelier High School. Stowe residents can watch the nearly two-hour recording online to hear how each candidate described a time they changed their mind on policy and compare their approaches before voting.
   

4. Expensive gas prices don't deter leaf peepers in Vermont (mynbc5.com) — Stowe is buzzing with leaf peepers despite higher gas prices, with Stowe Mountain Resort’s gondola offering a fuel-saving way to see peak foliage on Mount Mansfield. Local businesses like Smugglers’ Notch Distillery and Savor Vermont tours report heavy foot traffic, even as tour prices rise slightly to cover fuel costs and Canadian visitors become less common.
   

5. Harwood edges U-32, Stowe at golf qualifier (timesargus.com) — Stowe High’s golf team narrowly missed topping defending champion Harwood at the Division II Northern Vermont state qualifier, finishing just one stroke behind and securing a spot at next week’s state championships. Local golfers like Bentley Stazzulla and teammates helped Stowe post a strong 322, highlighting how competitive Central Vermont high school golf has become.
