Last update: 2 hours ago

Paraquat Ban: Vermont became the first state to ban the herbicide paraquat, citing its strong link to Parkinson’s disease; the law phases out use over coming years.

Maternal Addiction Care: Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center plans to use $900,000 in federal funds to create an inpatient substance use treatment program in its birthing pavilion, with redesigned, patient-friendly withdrawal management spaces. Public Health Research: UVM researchers reported new findings on how menopause may change brain function, tracking brain activity across pre-, peri-, and post-menopause stages. Community Health & Safety: Vermont State Police responded to a car-and-horse collision in Brownington; the horse died and occupants were uninjured. Legal/Child Safety: Vermont AG announced charges against a Woodstock man accused of luring a child and possessing child sexual abuse materials. Food Security: A federal judge blocked the Trump administration from enforcing new SNAP funding conditions while legal challenges proceed. Health Equity in the Community: Essex’s Big Beautiful Life Run/Walk/Roll aims to raise funds for medically complex children and support 100 families.
