One dies in Legionnaires’ disease outbreak at Windsor senior living facility
The outbreak originated in the facility’s water system, according to a health advisory.
by Valley News
One person has died and several have been hospitalized due to an outbreak of Legionnaires’ disease at the Cedar Hill Continuing Care facility, according to the Vermont Department of Health.
The department issued an advisory to health care providers Wednesday morning stating that six cases of the pneumonia-like illness had been reported among residents and staff at the Village at Cedar Hill.
“This outbreak is unusual for Vermont,” said Health Department spokesman Kyle Casteel, noting this is the first facility outbreak in the state in five years.
Legionnaires’ disease is caused by Legionella bacteria. Symptoms include cough, shortness of breath, muscle aches, headaches and fever, according to the health advisory.
People over 50, current or former smokers, and people with lung disease or compromised immune systems are at particular risk.
The fatality rate for Legionnaires acquired outside of health care settings is 10%, according to the Health Department advisory.

Vermont Gov. Phil Scott proposed a $9 billion budget to state lawmakers Tuesday for the 2026 fiscal year, a spending plan that, once again, he said prioritizes making the state more affordable and tackling demographic challenges.
The difference Tuesday afternoon, of course, is that the Republican governor was addressing a state House and Senate made up of far more GOP allies than he had in the last legislative biennium, most if not all of whom campaigned on those same issues. Both chambers’ Democratic leaders said after the speech that they saw common ground with Scott on some of his ideas, but cautioned they needed to hear more details before taking positions on others.
Scott pointed to last fall’s election results as a call against raising taxes and fees, but said he would still use state dollars to build more housing, improve how safe people feel in their communities and fundamentally reform the state’s education system.
His administration unveiled the broad strokes of an education plan last week, though many details of the proposal are unclear, even after Tuesday’s address.

Phil Scott unveils $9 billion state budget proposal for 2026 focused on affordability
“Vermonters were very clear — they expect us to separate our wants from our needs,” Scott told lawmakers on Tuesday, pointing to last fall’s election.by Shaun Robinson

Vermont business leaders pan President Donald Trump’s proposed tariffs on imports from Canada
Vermonters are likely to pay more for many goods if the proposal goes into effect, the industry leaders said at a Monday roundtable convened by Sen. Peter Welch, D-Vt.
by Shaun Robinson
Poulin Grain, an animal feed manufacturer with two plants in northern Vermont, relies on crops imported from Canada, such as corn and oats, to make its products. But the company’s costs would grow substantially — and, perhaps, unsustainably — if President Donald Trump’s proposed 25% tariff on products from Canada goes into effect, Poulin’s senior vice president, Mike Tetreault, said Monday.
The company could start to source some raw materials domestically, Tetreault said, but the materials would cost more, and those costs would be passed on to customers.
“We haven’t got the margins to offset that. The sellers don’t have the margins to offset that. So essentially, the farms and users of our grain products and feed products are going to pay more,” Tetreault said, speaking at a roundtable on Trump’s proposal in St. Albans Monday morning convened by U.S. Sen. Peter Welch, D-Vt.
“There’s no other option,” he added.
Tetreault was one of several leaders of Vermont businesses, along with representatives from trade groups as well as state officials, who voiced concerns to Welch about the impacts the tariffs could have on the costs of local goods and services.
Trump has threatened to impose a 25% tax on goods coming into the U.S. from Canada and Mexico as early as Feb. 1. Right now, both countries have a free-trade agreement with the U.S. by which most goods traded among the three nations don’t have tariffs.

Judge temporarily halts Trump’s federal funding freeze as Vermont officials scramble to respond
Attorney General Charity Clark announced Tuesday afternoon that Vermont has joined a separate multi-state suit against the Trump administration. She called the freeze a “brazen violation of the Constitution.”by Emma Cotton
Vermont has joined a multi-state lawsuit against President Donald Trump’s administration seeking to stop it from freezing some federal financial assistance to states. A federal judge temporarily blocked the president’s order in response to a separate lawsuit on Tuesday.
Amid the flurry of legal action, Vermont officials have been trying to parse the potential statewide implications of a vague and expansive memo the Trump administration issued Monday.
The memo, signed by Matthew Vaeth, director of the federal Office of Management and Budget, is short — just two pages long. It orders federal agencies to “temporarily pause” all financial assistance “and other relevant agency activities that may be implicated by (Trump’s) executive orders, including, but not limited to, financial assistance for foreign aid, nongovernmental organizations, DEI, woke gender ideology, and the green new deal.”
It was set to take effect at 5 p.m. Tuesday, but a decision by Judge Loren AliKhan of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia will delay implementation until at least Feb. 3, according to Politico.

Suspects in killings of Vermont border patrol agent and California man connected by marriage license, extreme ideology
Both suspects attended the prestigious Lakeside School in Seattle, studied computer science and appear to sympathize with a fringe Bay Area group described by one person as a “murder gang.”
by Open Vallejo
This story, by Anna Bauman and Matthew Brown, was first published by Open Vallejo, a nonprofit investigative news outlet based in Vallejo, California, on January 27.
Two young people who applied in November 2024 for a marriage license in Washington have each been charged by authorities in separate January killings that claimed the lives of a U.S. Border Patrol agent in Vermont and an 82-year-old landlord in Vallejo, California, according to police and court records obtained by Open Vallejo.
Maximilian Snyder, a 22-year-old data scientist arrested in Northern California on Friday on suspicion of murder, and Teresa Youngblut, the 21-year-old computer science student charged last week in connection with the shooting death of U.S. Border Patrol Agent David C. Maland, appear to follow a fringe, self-described “vegan Sith” ideology that started in the Bay Area and has connections to violence, according to police records, an interview with a person familiar with the group, and years of social media and blog posts reviewed by Open Vallejo.
Public records show that Snyder and Youngblut applied for a marriage license in King County, Washington, on Nov. 5. It is unclear whether the couple had since married.
Vallejo police arrested Snyder around 12:40 a.m. Friday in Redding, California, in connection with the Jan. 17 stabbing death of Curtis Lind, according to Solano County jail records, court records, interviews, online posts, and other information reviewed by Open Vallejo. He was charged with murder and two enhancements Monday in Solano County Superior Court, according to court records.
A motion filed Monday by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Vermont alleges that Youngblut — and an unnamed person who purchased the firearms she and an associate possessed — had been in frequent contact with “a person of interest in a homicide investigation in Vallejo, California.” The person of interest in the Vallejo case had also been detained in Pennsylvania in connection with a double-homicide in that state, according to federal prosecutors, and the firearms-purchaser was also a person of interest in the Pennsylvania case.

HPAI bird flu confirmed in backyard flock of non-commercial birds in Windsor County
Vermont Business Magazine The Vermont Agency of Agriculture, Food and Markets (VAAFM) and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Animal Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) have confirmed the presence of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI), also known as H5N1 bird flu, in a non-commercial backyard (non-poultry) flock in Windsor County last week. Samples taken by VAAFM and USDA officials Tuesday, January 21st were tested and confirmed for HPAI by the National Veterinary Services Laboratories (NVSL) in Ames, Iowa.
This is the fifth instance of HPAI impacting a domestic flock in Vermont since spring of 2022 and emphasizes the ongoing need for vigilance as the disease continues to be an ongoing risk to domestic birds. This case comes on the heels of another HPAI confirmation in a flock of backyard birds in Franklin County this past December.
The small flock of 20 birds suffered its first mortality Wednesday, January 15th, and then experienced ongoing losses. The owner contacted VAAFM to report the situation Friday, January 17th. The remaining flock was quarantined to prevent the spread of disease and was depopulated this past Thursday, January 23rd by officials from VAAFM with the agreement and understanding of the flock’s owners. Currently, VAAFM has received no reports of illness in additional Vermont flocks.
Though HPAI is considered to be low risk to human health, the individuals who had contact with infected birds or their environment are being monitored by the Vermont Department of Health. There have been no human cases in Vermont or New England during the current U.S. outbreak.
Lab testing confirmed that this case of HPAI is not the strain currently impacting dairy cattle herds in other states around the country.
This localized outbreak reinforces the importance of poultry owners, farmers and hunters to report sick and dead birds. Despite the low risk to the public, the virus remains deadly to many species of birds. All bird owners, from those who own backyard pets to commercial farmers, are strongly encouraged to review biosecurity measures to help protect their flocks. Keeping your birds separated from wild birds as much as possible is the best protection for your backyard flocks. Dairy farm operators and dairy cattle owners are also advised to implement biosecurity measures in response to the ongoing risk of HPAI.

WCAX Investigates: The Crime Corridor between Vermont and Massachusetts
Homicide numbers in Vermont have risen in recent years to levels not seen since the late ‘90s, and experts say much of the violence is fueled by a drugs-for-guns pipeline that leads to Massachusetts and other urban centers.
Drugs coming to Vermont from out of state have led to a sharp rise in the number of overdoses over the last decade. From as low as 64 in 2014 to nearly 700 from 2021 to 2023. But that’s not the only problem, authorities say violent crime comes with it, and the increase has sparked a call for action from those directly impacted.
“She was always my little sister, still is my little sister,” said Bill Chatlos, who says his sister Christina at a young age was quiet and soft-spoken. “I would say 13 was the magic number. Then, next thing you know, you couldn’t keep her quiet.”
The southern Vermont native had a profound love for animals, especially horses. “Some might have even referred to her as a ‘Horse whisperer,’” Chatlos said. She became a mom in her 20s, but by her 30s, the things she loved most would soon take a back seat to addiction. And despite pleas from her family, she couldn’t stop using.
“I was hoping she would listen to me. And in turn, it was the last conversation I ever had with my sister,” Chatlos said.
January 23, 2024, was a cold winter day in St. Johnsbury. Vermont State Police detectives canvassed the scene at the Cornerstone School where they found Christina Chatlos in the driver’s seat of a car, dead from a gunshot wound
The fatal shooting was Vermont’s first last year. Police say Chatlos came to the school to buy drugs and that an argument led to her murder. Police charged 15-year-old Mohamed Said with second-degree murder.

If you felt the earth move Monday morning January 27, you’re not alone.
A magnitude 3.8 earthquake struck off the coast of New England at 10:22 a.m. The U.S. Geological Survey reports that it originated about 6 miles off the coast of York Harbor, Maine.
Some aftershocks could be in store, but they are not expected to be intense.
“Aftershocks would typically be smaller than the initial earthquake,” said Sophie Coulson, a geophysics professor at the University of New Hampshire. “That could happen over the next few hours or next few days.”
(Click here for the latest information from the U.S. Geological Survey.)
As of 10:45 a.m. Monday, New Hampshire 911 had not heard of any injuries or damage related to the earthquake. New Hampshire officials say those concerned about structural damage to a home or business should contact their local fire department for help.
Operations at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard were temporarily suspended to evaluate the area for potential impacts. In a statement, shipyard representatives said no significant damage or injuries were reported from the earthquake.
Seabrook Station Nuclear Plant also continued to operate without disruption, according to spokesperson Lindsay Robertson. She said the plant was designed to withstand earthquakes, and there was no risk to the public.
People reported feeling the earth shake throughout eastern New England — and beyond.
Susan Hough, a seismologist with the U.S. Geological Survey, said her agency doesn’t anticipate any damage from the earthquake. But, she said, it’s a reminder that earthquakes do happen in New England.
“Earthquakes are uncommon along the Atlantic coast, but they're not unheard of,” Hough said. “It may not be the biggest concern in everybody's mind, but there is the risk out there of larger events.”

Tai Chi is often described as meditation in motion. It is clinically proven to reduce the risk of falls and improve balance among older adults. Through slow, gentle movement, participants gain flexibility, muscle strength, improved posture, better balance, and greater concentration. Tai Chi can be practiced either standing or seated.
No experience is needed. Participants are encouraged to wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing and well-fitted flat shoes that cover your toes and heels. While targeted to older adults, these classes are appropriate and beneficial for people of all ages who want to experience beginner Tai Chi.
The Veterans Memorial Committee meets regularly on the 2nd Tuesday of each month at the Weathersfield Proctor Library. In the event of holidays or special circumstances, the meeting will be held at a time and location to be set by the Committee.

This localized outbreak reinforces the importance of poultry owners, farmers and hunters to report sick and dead birds. Despite the low risk to the public, the virus remains deadly to many species of birds. All bird owners, from those who own backyard pets to commercial farmers, are strongly encouraged to review biosecurity measures to help protect their flocks. Keeping your birds separated from wild birds as much as possible is the best protection for your backyard flocks. Dairy farm operators and dairy cattle owners are also advised to implement biosecurity measures in response to the ongoing risk of HPAI.

Homicide numbers in Vermont have risen in recent years to levels not seen since the late ‘90s, and experts say much of the violence is fueled by a drugs-for-guns pipeline that leads to Massachusetts and other urban centers.
Drugs coming to Vermont from out of state have led to a sharp rise in the number of overdoses over the last decade. From as low as 64 in 2014 to nearly 700 from 2021 to 2023. But that’s not the only problem, authorities say violent crime comes with it, and the increase has sparked a call for action from those directly impacted.
“She was always my little sister, still is my little sister,” said Bill Chatlos, who says his sister Christina at a young age was quiet and soft-spoken. “I would say 13 was the magic number. Then, next thing you know, you couldn’t keep her quiet.”
The southern Vermont native had a profound love for animals, especially horses. “Some might have even referred to her as a ‘Horse whisperer,’” Chatlos said. She became a mom in her 20s, but by her 30s, the things she loved most would soon take a back seat to addiction. And despite pleas from her family, she couldn’t stop using.
“I was hoping she would listen to me. And in turn, it was the last conversation I ever had with my sister,” Chatlos said.
January 23, 2024, was a cold winter day in St. Johnsbury. Vermont State Police detectives canvassed the scene at the Cornerstone School where they found Christina Chatlos in the driver’s seat of a car, dead from a gunshot wound
The fatal shooting was Vermont’s first last year. Police say Chatlos came to the school to buy drugs and that an argument led to her murder. Police charged 15-year-old Mohamed Said with second-degree murder.

No damage reported from 3.8 magnitude earthquake, some aftershocks are possible
If you felt the earth move Monday morning January 27, you’re not alone.
A magnitude 3.8 earthquake struck off the coast of New England at 10:22 a.m. The U.S. Geological Survey reports that it originated about 6 miles off the coast of York Harbor, Maine.
Some aftershocks could be in store, but they are not expected to be intense.
“Aftershocks would typically be smaller than the initial earthquake,” said Sophie Coulson, a geophysics professor at the University of New Hampshire. “That could happen over the next few hours or next few days.”
(Click here for the latest information from the U.S. Geological Survey.)
As of 10:45 a.m. Monday, New Hampshire 911 had not heard of any injuries or damage related to the earthquake. New Hampshire officials say those concerned about structural damage to a home or business should contact their local fire department for help.
Operations at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard were temporarily suspended to evaluate the area for potential impacts. In a statement, shipyard representatives said no significant damage or injuries were reported from the earthquake.
Seabrook Station Nuclear Plant also continued to operate without disruption, according to spokesperson Lindsay Robertson. She said the plant was designed to withstand earthquakes, and there was no risk to the public.
People reported feeling the earth shake throughout eastern New England — and beyond.
Susan Hough, a seismologist with the U.S. Geological Survey, said her agency doesn’t anticipate any damage from the earthquake. But, she said, it’s a reminder that earthquakes do happen in New England.
“Earthquakes are uncommon along the Atlantic coast, but they're not unheard of,” Hough said. “It may not be the biggest concern in everybody's mind, but there is the risk out there of larger events.”

On Wednesday, Bolton Valley Resort’s Timberline Lodge played host to the inaugural Vermont Trail Accessibility Hub (TAH) Summit, bringing together more than 50 thought leaders and advocates to advance trail accessibility across Vermont. This collaborative event united representatives from more than 30 organizations and agencies, setting the stage for a transformative future in trail-based outdoor recreation.
"The Vermont Trail Accessibility Hub's 2025 Summit was a huge success,” said Russell Hirschler, executive director of the Upper Valley Trails Alliance. “Working with a group of nearly 60 people to create and promote a shared vision for accessible trail development in Vermont is extremely inspiring. It also shows that there is still a lot of work to be done in the future and the TAH partners are excited to get it done.”
The Trail Accessibility Hub, which originated from a collaborative idea at the 2023 Trail Symposium, has rapidly grown into a pioneering initiative dedicated to improving access to outdoor recreation for everyone, especially for those with physical disabilities and mobility challenges. Led by the Vermont Trails and Greenways Council (VTGC) and supported by partners Vermont Adaptive Ski & Sports, the Northern Forest Canoe Trail (NFCT), Vermont Mountain Bike Association (VMBA), Upper Valley Trails Alliance (UVTA), and Community Geographics, the Hub exemplifies the power of collaboration.
This ground-laying work is made possible by the Vermont Outdoor Recreation Economic Collaborative (VOREC) Community Grant Program.
The Trail Accessibility Hub is tackling accessibility challenges through innovative and collaborative initiatives this year:
Conducting over 50 trail assessments to identify opportunities for redesigning and building adaptive mountain bike, aquatic, and pedestrian trails.
Developing resources to guide trail managers in creating accessible outdoor spaces.
Enhancing the state-supported Trail Finder website to showcase accessible and adaptive trails.
Providing technical assistance and hosting webinars to build expertise in trail accessibility.
Engaging directly with people with disabilities to ensure their voices shape trail improvements.

Weathersfield Tai Chi
Where: Weathersfield Town Office, U.S. 5, Ascutney, VT
REGISTER
This program is offered FREE to seniors by Senior Solutions and the Weathersfield Parks & Recreation Commission. Instructor: Karen Gautney, certified by Tai Chi Vermont and Tai Chi for Health Institute.
Class meets at 9:30-10:30 am every Thursday for 8 weeks (January 16 - March 6, 2025) at Martin Hall in Ascutney (Weathersfield Town Office), lower level. Each class builds on the previous lesson, therefore regular attendance is encouraged.
Tai Chi is often described as meditation in motion. It is clinically proven to reduce the risk of falls and improve balance among older adults.

No experience is needed. Participants are encouraged to wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing and well-fitted flat shoes that cover your toes and heels. While targeted to older adults, these classes are appropriate and beneficial for people of all ages who want to experience beginner Tai Chi.
