Liz Sauchelli
Liz Sauchelli is a calendar editor and staff writer at the Valley News, handling event listings and reported stories that range across news and feature coverage. Her work focuses on the everyday workings of Upper Valley communities, with particular attention to local services, programs for older adults, education and community events. Within that broad remit she reports on real estate and development decisions, treating housing projects and land-use changes as part of the region’s civic life.
Community institutions and local services
Sauchelli’s news coverage regularly follows how local institutions expand or retool services, especially in health and aging. She has reported on the Community College of Vermont securing a $790,000 grant to launch a licensed nursing assistant training program, explaining how the funding flows through a state rural health initiative and what it will mean for workforce development. In another piece she covers the rebranding of Visiting Nurse and Hospice for Vermont and New Hampshire to Dartmouth Health Home Care, detailing the name change while maintaining focus on continuity of care in the region.
Her byline appears on stories about nonprofit and civic infrastructure, such as Vital Communities transferring 38 town listservs to a new nonprofit UVLists, and coverage of Kendal at Hanover hiring a new chief executive.
These articles track organizational decisions that shape how residents receive information, housing and senior services, connecting boardroom moves to everyday life in the towns she covers. She also writes about programs that bring older adults into close contact with local institutions, including a feature on the “Portraits of Joy” photography project pairing seniors with Dartmouth students at a regional aging resource center. That story sits alongside coverage of a 102-year-old resident being honored with the Boston Post Cane, reinforcing her consistent interest in how communities recognize and support older adults.
Events, celebrations and cultural life
As calendar editor, Sauchelli produces service-oriented guides to regional events, holidays and cultural gatherings. Her Fourth of July coverage is essentially a detailed schedule for Upper Valley celebrations, listing fireworks and community activities so residents can plan their holiday. She extends that work with “Out & About” columns, including a piece on Upper Valley communities preparing for the United States semiquincentennial, which combines historical context with practical information on local commemorations.
A separate guide to museums and historical sites offers a comprehensive list of places where readers can explore the region’s culture, again emphasizing accessible, actionable information.
Her event writing often blends logistics - times, locations, ticket details - with short portraits of the people who organize or benefit from the activities, giving the listings more texture than a simple calendar. She also brings this approach to more intimate celebrations, such as the ceremony recognizing Lebanon’s oldest resident with the Boston Post Cane, where the focus is on how the town marks longevity and community ties.
The “Out & About” trail feature on a Grafton resident building and maintaining a 10-mile winter trail system for skiers and snowshoers similarly anchors infrastructure in stories about community use and volunteer effort. Across these assignments, she uses straightforward prose and concrete details to connect civic rituals and recreational opportunities to the people who make them happen.
Education and youth recognition
Sauchelli frequently covers education-related news, especially items that highlight student achievement and academic programs. In her “School Notes” reporting she has chronicled an Oxbow High School senior being named the National GEAR UP Student Leader of the Year, situating the award within a national conference and giving the recognition context beyond a single honor roll mention. Another “School Notes” column focuses on a Woodstock student who won a regional Lincoln essay competition, then broadens out to include multiple local students honored in scholarship programs and human rights–focused art contests.
These pieces typically carry long lists of named students, schools and programs, covering everything from presidential scholars and environmental essay awards to college graduations and president’s list recognitions. The format is dense but precise, making her education coverage a regular checkpoint for families and institutions tracking student accomplishments.
By treating these items as newsworthy in their own right, she underscores a consistent theme in her work: formal recognition - whether for a teenager’s essay or a centenarian’s community role - is part of how the Upper Valley defines and celebrates civic life.
Development, land use and housing
Alongside community and education coverage, Sauchelli reports on local development issues that intersect with real estate and infrastructure. Her work on Enfield includes coverage of a developer seeking town approval for a wetland road crossing and a separate request for a variance on a 38-unit housing project, following the permit process through local government bodies and emphasizing environmental and zoning considerations.
These stories place specific proposals within planning and regulatory frameworks, outlining how boards weigh project designs against wetlands, road access and neighborhood impact.
Her treatment of development topics mirrors the service focus of her event and institutional reporting: residents learn what is proposed, which public meetings matter and how decisions may change the use of land and services in their town. When viewed together with her pieces on health providers, senior housing organizations and nonprofit communication infrastructure, her real estate and land-use stories read as one more strand in an ongoing examination of how physical and organizational structures support everyday life in the Upper Valley.
Enterprise business and Valley Parents responsibilities
Beyond her reporting, Sauchelli holds editorial responsibilities across several Valley News products, including a quarterly business magazine and a parenting-focused publication. She is identified as editor of the Enterprise business magazine, which is published four times a year and concentrates on regional business coverage. She also serves as editor of Valley Parents, another quarterly publication, tying her closely to coverage aimed at families and caregivers.
Combined with her calendar and “Out & About” roles, these positions indicate a multipurpose editor-writer who moves between business, parenting, events and news, maintaining a consistent emphasis on practical information and the lived experience of Upper Valley residents.
