He gripped the handle of one of the four corners of a field stretcher carrying a wounded soldier. A tray of medical equipment on the soldier’s chest chirped as it monitored vital signs and sustained him. The team of four soldiers locked step, carrying the patient onto a plane bound for a higher level of care.

Despite injury to star quarterback, St. Johnsbury relies on defense for title-game berth

ST. JOHNSBURY — Top-seeded St. Johnsbury's vaunted offense made mistake after mistake during the opening quarter of the Division I high school football semifinals vs. No. 5 Burlington/South Burlington/Winooski on Saturday, Nov. 7. Three red zone trips resulted in coughing up possession three times: A turnover on downs plus two interceptions spoiled what appeared to be sure-fire touchdowns. "We were struggling. It seemed like we weren’t going to score," St. Johnsbury coach Rich Alercio said. "I was thinking we were going to win this 3-0." But the Hilltoppers are more than just an explosive passing attack. Their defense showed up — and showed out — while their running game couldn't be contained. And who set the tone for both units? Kingston Carey. More: What we learned in Week 10 of the 2026 Vermont high school football season The junior ended a scoreless stalemate with a pick-six early in the second quarter and racked up two more TDs and 140 yards of his game-high 154 yards before the halftime break, guiding the Hilltoppers to a 35-6 victory over the SeaWolves at Fairbanks Field, sending the Northeast Kingdom program back to the Division I title game for the second straight year.

Vermont libraries secure federal funds for repairs

Thirty-two Vermont public libraries will receive grants ranging from $60,000 to $400,000 for building repairs and improvements. The Vermont Department of Libraries announced the Public Facilities Preservation Initiative Grant awards Oct. 30, according to a community announcement. Libraries in 11 counties received awards through the program, which attracted 59 applications. The grants will fund capital projects needed to maintain, repair or improve existing public library buildings. The projects can address needs including deferred maintenance, safety, energy efficiency and accessibility. Funding comes from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development FY2023 Economic Initiative Community Project Funding program. The Vermont Department of Libraries is administering the grants. The funding provides capital project subgrants for public library buildings owned by municipalities or incorporated public libraries. All Vermont public libraries were eligible to apply. “The Department of Libraries is thrilled to support capital improvements to public libraries, which are crucial community resources,” State Librarian and Commissioner of Libraries Catherine Delneo said. “This is an exceptional opportunity for Vermont, because federal funding of this nature is rarely available.” The Vermont Department of Libraries is part of the Vermont Agency of Administration and supports libraries across the state in providing patrons access to quality information.
