WORLD SPORTS & OUTDOORS VT F&W Offers Ice Safety Tips The recent arrival of cold temperature has formed early-season ice on Vermont ponds, lakes and rivers. The Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department reminds winter enthusiasts that ice should never be considered safe and ice conditions vary. “We are urging all outdoor enthusiasts – people going ice fishing, cross-country skiers, hikers, and snowmobilers -- to be extremely cautious and prepared if they are going to venture out on any ice,” said Vermont Fish & Wildlife’s Chief Game Warden Jason Batchelder. “Ice conditions can vary dramatically on different parts of a lake. Remember, even though it may look thick enough on the surface, moving water from currents, rivers and springs can cause ice to form unevenly.” “Once we have sustained cold weather to form good ice, activities such as ice fishing can be safe and a lot of fun,” said Batchelder, “but when we go onto the ice, we need to use good judgment and observe several safety precautions.” Leave your car or truck on shore. Every year several motor vehicles go through the ice on Vermont lakes, and some people have drowned as a result. • Leave information about your plans with someone -- where you intend to fish and when you expect to return. Wear a personal flotation device and don’t fish alone. • Fish with a friend. Ice fishing is a great sport to share with family members and friends, and having a partner with you increases both the fun and the safety. • Ice varies in thickness and condition. Always carry an ice spud or chisel to check ice as you • • • proceed. • Be extremely cautious crossing ice near river mouths, points of land, bridges, islands, and over reefs and springs. Current almost always causes ice to be thinner over these areas. • Avoid going onto the ice if it has melted away from the shore. This indicates melting is underway, and ice can shift position as wind direction changes. • Waves from open water can quickly break up large areas of ice. If you can see open water in the lake and the wind picks up, get off! • Bring your fully-charged cell phone with you. • Carry a set of hand spikes to help you work your way out onto the surface of the ice if you go through. Holding one in each hand, you can alternately punch them into the ice and pull yourself up and out. You can make these at home, using large nails, or you can purchase them at stores that sell fishing supplies. • Carry a safety line that can be thrown to someone who has gone through the ice. • Heated fishing shanties must have good ventilation to prevent deadly carbon monoxide poisoning. Open a window or the door part way to allow in fresh air. If you have questions regarding ice fishing or ice conditions, contact your local Vermont State Game Warden via your closest state police barracks or by calling Vermont Fish & Wildlife Headquarters at 802-828-1529. If you want to learn more about ice fishing, be sure to mark your calendar for one of these upcoming clinics. Ice Fishing Clinics Scheduled Learning how to participate in an outdoor activity can be challenging, and ice fishing is a good example. Knowing this, the Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department has scheduled a series of ice fishing clinics for first-timers and those who would like to learn more about hard water fishing. “Our ice fishing clinics will be held from mid-January to mid-February with the possibility that some dates may change according to ice and weather conditions,” said Fish & Wildlife Education Specialist Corey Hart. “Everyone is welcome no matter their experience level. We want this to be fun and helpful for all.” The Basic Ice fishing courses will teach beginners all the skills they need to know to be successful and safe while ice fishing. The Introductory courses will review the basics while focusing on teaching anglers the skills they need to target a specific species. Each clinic will last 2 ½ to 3 hours, and exact location details will be given when people register for the event. Topics to be covered include ice safety, hole drilling, equipment and techniques, regulations and different techniques for different fish. All participants will have the opportunity to practice what they have learned near the end of each event. Everyone is urged to wear clothing suitable for the weather conditions. Pre-registration is required by contacting Corey Hart at LetsGoFishing@vermont.gov or 802-265-2279.

A recent independent study conducted by Maureen R. Weiss, Ph.D., a leading expert on youth development, provides compelling evidence that Girls on the Run is highly effective at driving transformative and lasting change in the lives of young girls. Girls who participate in the program develop and improve competence, feel confident in who they are, develop strength of character, respond to others and oneself with care, create positive connections with peers and adults, and make a meaningful contribution to community and society. It is the combination of the research-based curriculum, trained coaches and a commitment to serve all girls that sets Girls on the Run apart from other afterschool programs. In 2017, the National Afterschool Association (NAA) selected Girls on the Run as one of the most influential programs in health and wellness. Girls on the Run Vermont serves girls at 89 sites in Northern Vermont and is in need of 250 more coaches to ensure that every girl will have an opportunity to participate in their transformative program this spring. Schools/ sites in need of coaches in CENTRAL Vermont include: Hyde Park Elementary; Morristown Elementary; People’s Academy Middle School; Bradford Elementary; Randolph Elementary; Tunbridge Central; Williamstown Middle School; Berlin Elementary; Cabot School; Calais Elementary; Crosset Brook Middle; Doty Memorial; East Montpelier Elementary; Main Street Middle • • • School; Northfield Elementary; Union Elementary; Warren School; Craftsbury Academy; & Norwich Rec. Meeting twice a week for 90 minutes, volunteer coaches utilize the curriculum to engage small teams of girls in fun, interactive lessons. The program culminates with all teams in Northern Vermont participating in a celebratory 5K on Saturday, June 2nd 2018 in Essex Junction. Volunteer coaches do not have to be runners but must complete a background check and participate in the Girls on the Run online and in-person training/workshop. This training qualifies for continuing education credits. Girls on the Run Vermont’s spring coach registration is now open.
