Published 3 months, 1 week ago
Description
Good morning, this is your Burlington Local Frequency for Monday, January 19th. Kick off your week with a burst of local energy as we dive into the stories shaping our vibrant community, from health alerts to heartwarming events that keep Burlington buzzing even in the winter chill.
First up, a serious heads-up from health officials: radon gas levels are spiking inside Burlington homes this month, posing a sneaky threat to families breathing easy without testing. This odorless radioactive gas seeps up from the soil, and with our rocky Vermont terrain, it's no joke—experts say simple home test kits can catch it early, potentially saving lives by preventing lung risks down the road. Grab one today and protect what matters most.
Over at the University of Vermont, it's Martin Luther King Jr. Day, sparking a lineup of reflective and fun happenings. Join the Employee Wellness Mindful Mondays virtual session at noon for some grounding meditation, or swing by Sandwiches for Service from 1 to 2pm to fuel up while giving back. Later, cozy up at the Fireside Readathon from 3 to 6pm—perfect for shaking off the cold with good books and warm vibes. UVM's also rolling out intramural sports registration, so lace up if you're craving team spirit.
Music lovers, Foam Brewers on the waterfront is your spot this weekend—yesterday's soulful set by Burlington's own Joe Agnello and Lara Cwass blended rock, blues, jazz, and funk for free, drawing crowds who danced through the afternoon. Catch the wave with upcoming gigs like Madaila psych-pop on January 24th or a raucous Groundhog Fest roots showcase on the 30th, all fueling our local scene and keeping creativity alive.
Art and wellness seekers, don't miss the "Do We Say Goodbye? Grief, Loss, and Mourning" exhibit at BCA Center through January 24th, offering poignant performances that help us process winter's quiet introspection. And for fitness fans, Seven Days spotlights Vermonter Jorge Pascual, who crushed 100 workouts last year as a busy dad—his tips on steady habits could inspire your own resolutions.
Tragically, Vermont State Police are probing a death involving a woman in Department of Corrections custody in nearby Williston, a reminder of the human stories behind our systems. Meanwhile, South Burlington's free clinic at the state's only mosque continues Saturdays, delivering primary care to those in need and strengthening community ties.
Whether you're hiking UVM trails, jamming at Foam, or testing for radon, these threads weave Burlington's resilient spirit—connecting us through action and empathy.
This has been Burlington Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
