Burlington Local Frequency: Remembering Edward Eckman and Spring Events Ahead
Published 1 month, 2 weeks ago
Description
Good morning, this is your Burlington Local Frequency for Monday, March 9.
Folks, were kicking off the week with heartfelt remembrances from our neighboring communities that touch us all here in Burlington. Just last week, Edward W. Eckman of Bradford passed away peacefully at 86, surrounded by family and his pastor. Born in Pennsylvania, Edward built a life of service in Vermont, teaching at Bradford Academy, pastoring churches in East Orange and West Fairlee, and even running Eckmans Hardwood Equipment. Despite vision challenges, he kept giving back through facilities work at the Clara Martin Center and sharing his garden harvest with neighbors. A die-hard Boston sports fan, he lit up talking championships and cherished time with grandkids. Calling hours are tonight from 6 to 8 at Hale Funeral Home in Bradford, with services Saturday at 11 a.m. at Bradford Evangelical Free Church. In his honor, consider donations to the Jack Byrne Center for Palliative Care in Lebanon or the Vermont Association for the Blind and Visually Impaired right here in South Burlington, helping folks like Edward thrive.
Shifting to brighter news, our local event scene is buzzing with chances to get out and connect. Catch the 2026 Oscar-nominated short films in the Live Action category screening right in Burlington through mid-March, perfect for film buffs craving fresh stories on the big screen. Over in South Burlington and nearby spots like Shelburne, check Vermont Vacation calendars for family-friendly outings, from winter wraps at Stratton to community gatherings in Winooski and Barre. Whether youre hiking trails or sampling local eats, these events keep our Vermont spirit alive, fostering bonds that make our towns feel like home.
One heads-up for DISH subscribers: negotiations are tense, and theres a risk WCAX and WYCI could drop from service soon. That means losing key local news and entertainment we rely on for weather updates, school closings, and UVM game recaps. Stay tuned to alternatives like streaming or over-the-air antennas to keep connected, because in our close-knit region, staying informed impacts everything from road safety to community events.
As maple season hints at spring, embrace these days with local flavor, support our neighbors, and dive into whats happening around you. This has been Burlington Local Frequency. Well see you tomorrow with more local updates.
