📰 News we're reading

• Milton girls, CVU boys win ultimate titles (wcax.com) — State ultimate championships played in Colchester saw the Milton girls claim their first-ever title over CVU, while the CVU boys edged Milton in an overtime thriller. The doubleheader at a Colchester venue delivered dramatic finishes and emotional first state crowns, giving local fans a front-row seat to a milestone day for both programs.
   

• Mohsen Mahdawi reportedly appealing ruling calling for his deportation (mychamplainvalley.com) — A Columbia University graduate student whose 2025 ICE arrest happened in Colchester is now reportedly appealing a ruling that could lead to his deportation. His case, supported by the ACLU of Vermont, challenges claims that his pro-Palestinian speech undermines U.S. foreign policy, raising ongoing free-speech and immigration questions with roots in a local ICE encounter.
   

• State regulators approve new surgery center for the Upper Valley (vermontpublic.org) — A new multi-specialty surgery center has been approved for Hartford, but it’s notable for Colchester residents because it joins the Green Mountain Surgery Center here as one of Vermont’s only freestanding centers. Regulators hope more facilities like these will shorten wait times and introduce lower-cost competition to the state’s hospital-dominated system, potentially influencing future care options in Chittenden County.
