Plans to place the White River National Fish Hatchery in Bethel on inactive status have raised concerns among Vermont fishery officials, who say the state’s remaining hatcheries are already operating at capacity and could be affected by changes to federal programs. A letter addressed to U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Director Brian Nesvik from U.S. Sens. Peter Welch, Chuck Schumer, Bernie Sanders and Kirsten Gillibrand, and U.S. Rep. Becca Balint, shared early last month, detailed the federal agency’s plans to place the hatchery on inactive status. The congressional delegation pleaded with the director to rescind that decision, advocating for the necessity of the hatchery in maintaining fish populations in Vermont and New York. Federal officials have not publicly explained how the hatchery’s work would be handled following its deactivation.

Nearby: Hartford, VTThis story by Alex Ebrahimi was first published in the Valley News on November 11, 2026 WHITE RIVER JUNCTION — A swastika drawn in what appeared to be black marker was visible on a monument in Veterans Park on Veterans Day. The graffiti was on the park’s newer monument, which honors Hartford residents who served in the Korean War, the Vietnam War and the post-1975 era. It was dedicated on Memorial Day this year and completed the work of the Hartford Monument Committee. The park’s other monument, which honors the town’s World War I and World War II veterans and was installed in 2024, was not vandalized. Last week, a flagpole was installed in the park, completing the Eagle Scout project of a 16-year-old Hartford High School sophomore. The Hartford Police Department did not respond to phone calls and an email as of Wednesday afternoon. Vermont recorded 137 antisemitic incidents between 2021 and 2025, according to ADL New England’s annual Audit of Antisemitic Incidents.
Eagle Valley Enterprise · Killington, VT
Nearby: Killington, VTEmma Aicher took advantage of Mikaela Shiffrin’s absence on Saturday. The German all-around star claimed her first-career World Cup slalom victory in Levi, Finland, posting a two-run time of 1 minute, 52.62 seconds. “It’s definitely a good birthday present,” said Aicher, who turned 23 on Friday and became the first skier other than Shiffrin or Petra Vlhova to claim a win in Levi in 12 years. Aicher, runner-up in both the overall and downhill globe races last season, has five World Cup wins on her resume — all in speed races. On Saturday, the two-time Olympian built a 0.36-second lead after the first run, with Lara Colturi and Zrinka Ljutic sitting in second and third, respectively. Aicher maintained a calm and composed demeanor on the second to hold off Colturi, who finished second. Meanwhile, Austrian Katharina Truppe jumped two places to claim the final step on the podium. “I managed two solid runs, with no big mistakes — maybe I could have done some parts better,” Aicher told FIS.
