• Residents react to Swanton Village Electric Department raising rates for first time in years (mynbc5.com) — Swanton Village Electric customers are seeing electric rates jump by more than 30%, a hike village officials link to last year’s Highgate Dam failure that slashed local power generation. Swanton residents and businesses, including local eateries and shops, describe how the higher bills strain fixed incomes and tight margins, while the village pursues dam repairs and state bill‑assistance options. 
• Highlanders top Thunderbirds in first round of D2 playoff (samessenger.com) — Missisquoi Valley Union’s varsity baseball team saw its season end in Swanton on Tuesday with a 5-1 home playoff loss to Harwood in the Division II first round. Freshman pitcher Colin Teague threw a complete game and third baseman Thomas Gover shined defensively, but a late two-run homer in the seventh put the game out of reach.
