📰 News we're reading
• Winterize garden for wildlife habitat (hardwickgazette.org) — Leaving some fall garden cleanup undone can give wildlife food and shelter through Vermont’s winter. Ryan Rebozo of the Vermont Center for Ecostudies recommends keeping fallen leaves, dried stems and seed heads in place to protect overwintering insects and feed birds, then waiting for sustained spring warmth before cutting back plants. 
• Marilyn E. Couture (vnews.com) — Marilyn E. Couture, who grew up in White River Junction and graduated from Hartford High School, died October 31 at 73. She worked as an LNA at Dartmouth-Hitchcock and volunteered with Willing Hands in retirement. Her burial is scheduled for June 22, 2027, at 2 p.m. at Mount Olivet Cemetery in White River Junction.
