Police run torch for Special Olympics this week all across Vermont
SOUTH BURLINGTON, Vt. (ABC22/FOX44) – Police, athletes, and members of the military will be running for a cause throughout Vermont for the next four days. The annual Law Enforcement Torch Run in Vermont will be held this week, from June 3 through 6. Members of the law enforcement community will be carrying the Flame of Hope, the Special Olympics' equivalent to the Olympic Torch, from the four corners of the state all the way to St. Michael's College in Winooski. It is the largest community fundraiser for the Special Olympics organization, which holds the Special Olympics World Games every two years. The torch run will be followed by the annual Special Olympics Vermont Summer Games on June 6 and 7. This year will feature two sports, bocce ball and basketball, with hundreds of athletes joining in. Special Olympics Vermont Penguin Plunge underway this Saturday The event will start in four places simultaneously: in Derby Line and Highgate Springs in northern Vermont, and in Brattleboro and Bennington in southern Vermont. Four torches will be carried separately Tuesday through Thursday, before joining together for two final legs on Friday from Essex Junction to St. Michael's College. Lake Champlain will also get to feature in the event, as one of the four torches will be carried by the Colchester Boating Unit and U.S. Coast Guard over the water from Bayside Beach in Colchester over to Burlington. How staying 'up-to-date' with water quality at Burlington beaches can keep you safe According to the Special Olympics Vermont website, the event brings together more than 91,000 law enforcement officers from 46 countries each year as 'part of a global movement that works year-round to foster inclusion and acceptance of people with intellectual disabilities by using the power of sport.'

‘Lasting impact': North Andover police mourn loss of community resource dog Scarlett
The North Andover police department is mourning the sudden loss of their community resource dog Scarlett. Scarlett, 23-month-old, English Cream Golden Retriever, was home with her handler and partner, Officer Mark Wilson, when it is believed that she suffered a sudden seizure, police said. She joined the department in September 2023 and despite her short time with North Andover, she made a tremendous and lasting impact. Scarlett supported the North Andover community in all aspects, including attending town events, visiting North Andover Public Schools, the Prescott House Nursing Home, Benchmark Assisted Living Facility, Ashland Farms, and connected with community members of all ages. Scarlett often visited the Lahey Clinic, providing comfort to those going through medical treatment. She assisted with fundraisers for the Special Olympics and helped with donations for the Magic Barn. She also deployed to other communities to support residents and school children during times of need. Scarlett's favorite activities were hanging out with her family, including her sisters in the Wilson family, Molly their St. Bernard, and Gracie a Shih Tzu mix, and making new friends in the residents of North Andover. She was instantly recognizable by her wagging tail and her 'Free Hugs' vest, inviting everyone to say hello. 'Scarlett touched so many lives, and she was happy everyday,' Officer Wilson said. 'As long as she was meeting someone new she was happy.' 'Scarlett was the embodiment of what we set out to do as police officers: connecting and engaging with our community at the deepest levels,' Chief Gray said. 'She provided a sense of comfort, happiness and laughter to those she met here in North Andover and throughout the region.' Download the FREE Boston 25 News app for breaking news alerts.
