Twenty-five years after 9/11, the Vermont National Guard gathered for a solemn remembrance, honoring their swift response when nearly 700 members were activated and F-16s became among the first jets in the nation to scramble over New York. Veterans like Kenneth Ackley recall the grit and unity of that day, while current F-35 pilots stand on the shoulders of those who flew before them. The ceremony — complete with taps played by Stephen Goshorn, the national anthem, and a ceremonial takeoff — drew dignitaries including Governor Phil Scott and Senator Peter Welch, underscoring how this moment still echoes with sacrifice, resilience, and unbroken service.

Vermont’s housing crisis just got a twist: nearly 50,000 seasonal homes sit empty most of the year, sparking debate over their role in affordability. Once a smaller slice of the pie, these second homes are now under scrutiny as new tax proposals loom—targeting properties that could be lived in year-round but aren’t primary residences. With construction stalled for decades, experts say the real issue isn’t the seasonal homes themselves, but the lack of new housing built to meet demand. The tax won’t hit until 2030, but the conversation is heating up—and it’s not just about cash; it’s about how we define and use our housing stock.

A beloved basketball court in Upper Graniteville is gone, sparking outrage among residents who say it was their kids’ only real playground — and the town’s survey to gauge support went unanswered. With a crumbling foundation and steep rebuild costs, officials say a full court isn’t feasible, but they’re open to community-led solutions like a half-court or clay court. Residents are rallying, raising funds, and proving they’re ready to take charge — and officials are listening, praising their passion and willingness to collaborate.

A 47-year-old man, Corey Arwood, was arrested in Burlington for allegedly stabbing a 45-year-old woman in a wheelchair on Lake Street. The victim initially said no words were exchanged before the attack, but later recalled making a comment about local drug activity, which she believes triggered the assault. Surveillance footage helped identify Arwood, who was apprehended on September 9th. Police found cocaine and multiple weapons—including three defaced handguns and knives—on him and in his home. He now faces up to 15 years for aggravated assault, with additional charges potentially looming as authorities investigate further. His attorney is reviewing the case and has not yet commented.

A steel beam from Ground Zero, untouched and raw since 9/11, has arrived at Currier’s Market in Glover, Vermont — a poignant tribute for the 25th anniversary of the attacks. Gifted to the mother of local Fire Chief Philip Brooks by a grateful New York City fire lieutenant, this beam was never cleaned, preserving its haunting history. Now on display at the market — a “full circle” moment for owner Raymond Sweeney — it’s set to find its permanent home at the Glover Fire Station, while Chief Brooks continues bringing it to events so communities can feel its weight and remember.
