ALL SIZES BF GOODRICH GENERAL 

After home and work, the next most common place people spend their time is in 

their vehicles. The AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety says the average American 

spends 17,600 minutes driving each year. 

Because they spend so much time 

behind the wheel, drivers need to be 

prepared for breakdowns. Packing 

an emergency kit in the car can help 

people make the best of such situations. 

A car emergency kit can help drivers 

get back on the road promptly. Without 

such kits, drivers may be stranded for 

hours after a breakdown. Emergency 

kits also come in handy during weather-related 

events that can sideline cars 

until roads become passable. Getting 

caught in a vehicle during a snowstorm 

and failing to have the proper gear can 

be a life-threatening scenario under 

extreme conditions. 

It is always wise to plan for the worst 

and hope for the best. The Department 

of Motor Vehicles and the Department 

of Homeland Security note that these 

key items should always be included in 

a car emergency kit. 

• durable bags or crates to store supplies 

• complete first aid kit 

• small fire extinguisher 

• jumper cables 

• rain ponchos 

• plastic tarp 

• flashlights and extra batteries 

• bottled water 

• small cache of nonperishable foods 

• wrench and pliers 

• local maps 

• rags 

• duct tape 

• multipurpose tool 

• ice scraper 

• automotive fluids 

• blankets/warm clothing 

• cat litter for slick roads 

• tire-changing equipment 

• spare tire 

• road flares or caution reflectors 

• empty, refillable gas canister 

• cash for gas 

• phone charger cable 

Being prepared can make a difference 

when vehicles are sidelined. In 

addition to an emergency kit, cars and 

trucks should be regularly maintained 

to prevent breakdowns. This includes 

ensuring all fluids are at proper levels, 

filters are changed, batteries are in good 

working order, and tires are inflated 

correctly. Investing in a roadside assistance 

service also can help get drivers 

back on the road quickly.

Waterfowl Blinds Must Be Removed 

State Game Warden Dustin Snyder inspects a duck blind on Lake Champlain prior to the February 15 

deadline for its removal. VT F&W photo by Carl Wedin. 

Waterfowl hunters who did not remove 

their hunting blinds from the waters of the 

state earlier must do so before February 15 on 

Lake Champlain or May 15 on inland waters 

according to a reminder from the Vermont 

Fish & Wildlife Department. 

State law requires removal of the blinds 

before these deadlines in order to protect 

natural areas and to prevent boating accidents 

after the ice melts. 

“Removal of the blinds and any posts that 

may be below the surface of the ice is important 

because of the danger they present when 

boaters are on the water in the spring,” said 

State Game Warden Colonel Jason Batchelder. 

Batchelder says wardens annually record 

names and addresses of blind owners and will 

follow up with inspections. 

Dog Owners Reminded to Keep Dogs Under Control 

The Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department reminds dog 

owners that they must keep their dogs under control to prevent 

them from chasing deer or moose. 

Vermont law prohibits letting your dog run deer or moose 

and provides that a State Game Warden or other law enforcement 

officers may shoot a dog that is running deer. In addition, 

a dog owner may be fined up to $200 for allowing his or 

her dog to run deer. 

“Dogs will instinctively chase and kill deer and usually 

once they start, they will continue doing so, especially in 

winters with much snow,” said Chief Game Warden Col. 

Jason Batchelder. “In almost all cases, these are wonderful 

family pets and their owners cannot comprehend that their 

dog would kill a deer.” 

Deer survive during the winter by browsing on low-growing 

hardwood and softwood vegetation, which has little nutrition 

compared to the lush vegetation they can eat during the 

rest of the year. Their energy reserves are at their lowest, 

leaving them vulnerable to starvation, especially if they are 

chased by dogs. 

“We are issuing this reminder to make dog owners aware of 

the law and to urge them to keep their dogs under control so 

they won’t chase deer,” added Batchelder. “We responded to 

about 60 incidents of dogs chasing deer during each of the last 

five years.” 

Climate Change in the Garden 

Dr. Leonard Perry, Horticulture Professor Emeritus 

University of Vermont 

Daily the news has articles relating 

to extreme weather and climate 

change. Whether or not you agree 

with all the predictions, if the 

climate does continue to get warmer and 

show extremes from one area to another, 

and one year to another, here are some 

impacts these may have on, and in, your 

own garden. Much information can be found 

from Cornell University (climatechange. 

cornell.edu/) or from UMASS Boston (www. 

ecosystems.umb.edu/bace.html). 

Do winters seem to be warmer lately? Perhaps this is from 

the fact that the average annual temperature in the Northeast 

has increased 1.5 degrees (F) since 1970, at a rate of 0.5 

degrees per decade. Depending on the rate of emissions (air 

pollution), by the end this century, temperatures could 

increase from 3.5 to as much as 12.5 degrees. 

The latest (2012) USDA hardiness zone map released 

shows much of the country at least half a zone warmer (planthardiness.ars.usda.gov). 

A similar map from the Arbor Day 

Foundation 

(www.arborday.org/media/map_change.cfm) 

shows half of many areas a full zone warmer since 1990. A 

study by scientist Loarie and colleagues in the journal Nature 

in 2009 shows that, on average globally, climate zones are 

moving northward about 3.8 feet per day. Over the past 50 

years in Vermont, the facts (alanbetts.com) show that winters 

have warmed twice as fast as summer, with winter minimum 

temperatures increasing even faster. 

We may have more need in the north to consider the AHS 

(American Horticulture Society) heat zone maps as well as 

cold hardiness maps when choosing plants. These, plus a 

map from Sunset publishing that groups regions by climate 

rather than just temperature, are online from the AHS (ahsgardening.org/gardening-resources/gardening-maps). 

These 

maps may become an indicator of how far the weather is from 

“normal,” rather than what to count on. 

Increased temperatures could lead to more short- and 

medium-term droughts. There may be more heat waves in 

summer and extremes over 100 degrees. By the end of the 

century, under a low emissions scenario, summers in northern 

New England may be similar to those now in Pennsylvania, 

and under a more severe scenario similar to those now in the 

Carolinas. 

In addition to temperature, a changing climate is predicted 

to impact precipitation. By the end of the century, we may see 

7 to 14 percent greater rain and snow, the higher figure under 

higher emissions. Most of the higher precipitation in the last 

50 years has come from the increasing frequency and intensity 

of downpours (alanbetts.com). The Northeast has led the 

country with a 67 increase in heavy precipitation (more than 

2 inches in 48 hours). What this means for gardeners is the 

need for site preparation and plant choices that can handle 

such precipitation extremes. Along with hotter temperatures 

for gardening, the models point to more need to water in the 

future, with less reliable water from rain. 

Much of this precipitation increase is predicted to occur in 

winter, ranging from 11 to 30 percent more than now. More 

rain and less snow is predicted for winters, which will influence 

overwintering of perennials, among other impacts. This 

loss could be one quarter to one half of our current snowcovered 

days. Snow is one of the best protections in winter for 

herbaceous perennials. Less snow may lead to more plant 

losses, and actually the ability to grow fewer perennials in 

areas which now have sufficient and reliable winter snow 

cover. Overall snow cover in the Northern hemisphere, particularly 

the far north, has declined each year since 1986 

except one year, with a steep decline since 2003 (climate.rutgers.edu/snowcover). 

The average growing season is increasing. This is seen in 

the bloom dates recorded for plants at the Arnold Arboretum 

in Boston, which now are blooming about eight days earlier 

than recorded there 100 years ago. Wildflowers in nearby 

Concord are blooming about three weeks earlier than in 1854 

when Thoreau observed them (primacklab.blogspot.com). A 

researcher at Longwood Gardens, near Philadelphia, has 

shown that flowers in that area are blooming on average 1.5 

days earlier per decade compared to 150 years ago. Similarly, 

in Vermont, lilacs are blooming 1.5 days earlier with leaves 

out 3 days earlier, per decade (alanbetts.com). Perhaps the 

longest record of flowering dates (1200 years, from Osaka 

researcher Yasuyuki Aono) shows that cherry trees in Japan 

are blooming earlier over the last 100 years. 

Depending once again on emissions this century, by 2085, 

last spring frost may be one to three weeks earlier and the first 

fall frost one to three weeks later. The result would be a month 

or more increase in the growing season. This, coupled with 

higher temperatures, would mean many more plants could be 

grown successfully to flower and fruit in the north. 

On the other hand, we might lose some trees. Trees prevalent 

throughout the east coast such as oaks and pines would 

remain. Others adapted to cooler climates such as the sugar 

maple and American beech might shift further north. One map 

prediction shows few maples left in New England by 2100 

(www.nrs.fs.fed.us/atlas/tree/tree_atlas.html). This U.S. Forest 

Service site lists 134 trees, and gives interactive maps showing 

current distributions, and possible changes in locations with 

various climate scenarios. Another tree change relates to fall 

color. The best fall color comes from plenty of moisture, warm 

days, and cool nights. If nights become warmer, with drought 

periods during the growing season, the result would be less 

vibrant colors. 

Pests, currently in the warmer south, may make their way 

north, and those already in the north would reproduce faster, 

in most cases. Already in Alaska, British Columbia and 

Siberia, defoliating and wood-eating insects have increased 

with the longer summers recently. A study reported in fall 

2013 in the journal Nature Climate Change found that, on 

average, crop diseases and pests in the Northern Hemisphere 

have moved north about 1.7 miles per year since 1960. More 

important is that fungal diseases are moving north about 4 

miles per year. Breaking it down further, beetle and moth pests 

for instance are moving farther north an average 70 feet per 

day each season. 

Some studies also point to a decrease in natural predators of 

insect pests with a more highly fluctuating climate—a situation 

many predict with climate change. Insects and their 

predators, such as birds, may get out of sync, as will pollinators 

and the flowers they need. New weeds and invasive species 

such as kudzu vine will move northward with a warmer 

climate. 

Another interesting potential impact is on soils. Soil organic 

matter is second only to oceans in holding onto, or trapping 

(sometimes seen as “sequestering”), carbon and keeping it 

from entering the atmosphere. Higher temperatures would 

mean this soil organic matter breaks down faster, releasing 

carbon back into the atmosphere, making levels there even 

higher. 

You can monitor climate change in your own garden or 

landscape, as many have for years, with “phenology”—the 

response of biological events such as insect and bud emergence 

to weather. Observers in England (naturescalendar. 

woodlandtrust.org.uk), and Europe (gpm.hu-berlin.de) have 

banded together to record dates annually of specific events, 

and to compare their findings. The largest such effort, begun 

several decades ago, is in the U.S. The National Phenology 

Network (www.usanpn.org) tells more about this topic, how it 

is used, and how you can get involved to take “the pulse of the 

planet.” 

Distribution of this release is made possible by University 

of Vermont and Green Works—the Vermont Nursery and 

Landscape Association.

Keynote Speaker: 

DAN DUQUETTE 

Former GM of the 

Baltimore Orioles, 

Montreal Expos and 

Boston Red Sox 

Governor Phil Scott (R) and U.S. Sen. 

Patrick Leahy (D) encouraged Vermont communities 

struggling to overcome the decline 

in the forestry industry to consider utilizing a 

new $7 million grant program to spur new 

economic opportunities. 

The NBRC (Northern Border Regional 

Commission) is seeking grant proposals 

through its newly launched Regional Forest 

Economy Partnership from governmental 

units and non-profit organizations across the 

four-state region from New York to Maine, 

including Vermont. The grant program aims 

to address the economic shift produced by the 

consistent decline of the forest products 

industry that has contributed to the displacement 

of workers and outmigration in the 

region. Through his work as Vice Chairman 

of the Senate Appropriations Committee, 

Leahy directed the NBRC to support initiatives 

related to the forest-based economies 

and set aside a collective $7 million for this 

work. 

Leahy said: “For generations, many communities 

across Vermont, northern New York 

and New England relied heavily on the economic 

benefits of the forest economy. But 

recent down-turns in wood markets have 

taken a toll. We need new solutions, new 

markets and sustained federal investment to 

ensure our rural communities can capitalize 

on new opportunities and retain their vibrancy. 

This new initiative will allow for demonstration 

for new wood products, such as mass 

timber construction, while also looking to 

help communities with critical needs such as 

closing the digital divide.” 

Leahy included language in the 2018 Farm 

Bill expanding the Northern Border Regional 

Commission territory to include every county 

in Vermont. This new program will be the 

first NBRC grant round open to communities 

across the entire state of Vermont. 

“As a competitive global market has put 

pressure on our forest-based businesses, 

Vermonters are doing great work to reinvent 

the forest economy. This includes investing in 

outdoor recreation, developing new forestbased 

products, like wood pellets for modern 

wood heat, and looking for ways to bring 

broadband and other modern infrastructure to 

rural communities,” said Governor Scott, 

who is the state cochair of the NBRC. “This 

federal-state partnership provides financial 

support to bring new ideas to scale. I want to 

thank Senator Leahy for his continued support 

of Vermonters and Vermont’s rural economy, 

particularly in response to these challenging 

circumstances,” Governor Scott 

added. 

Applicants may apply for up to $1 million 

if they can demonstrate that any one of four 

criteria are met: an industry change in 

employment due to a decline in the forest 

industry, a wage reduction, a mill closure in 

the past 20 years, or county level outmigration. 

The NBRC is encouraging applications 

that have a multi-state benefit. 

Interested applicants should visit nbrc.gov/ 

content/Regional-Forest-Economy- 

Partnership for more information. The NBRC 

has announced multiple application rounds, 

with the first deadline for letters of intent on 

March 15. 

Both excitement levels and the entry list 

are growing for the American-Canadian Tour 

(ACT) Commonwealth Classic 65 at 

Virginia’s Richmond Raceway on Saturday, 

March 30. ACT’s first-ever visit to Richmond 

is attracting a variety of touring and weekly 

racing stars eager to be the inaugural winner 

at the ¾-mile D-shaped oval. 

The current entry list is highlighted by two 

former ACT Late Model Tour champions as 

well as one of its biggest current standouts. 

Dover, NH’s Wayne Helliwell Jr., one of the 

most accomplished drivers in recent ACT 

Late Model Tour history, recently registered 

for the event. The three-time Tour champion 

and former Oxford 250 winner will return to 

ACT action for the first time in more than two 

years with his Bernhardt Automotive team. 

He’ll be joined by 2016 ACT Champion 

Nick Sweet of Barre, VT. The multi-time 

Vermont Milk Bowl winner and Thunder 

Road Speedbowl Late Model Champion has 

competed part-time the past two seasons, but 

will still be an early favorite behind the wheel 

of the #40VT Mad Dog Motorsports machine. 

Williamstown, VT’s Jimmy Hebert is also 

sure to be a challenger in the 65-lap event. 

Hebert finished third in ACT Late Model 

Tour points this past season with two wins. 

He has been a strong contender at special 

events in recent years with two runner-up 

finishes in the ACT Invitational at New 

Hampshire Motor Speedway. Richmond will 

give him another chance to score a careerdefining 

victory. 

Meanwhile, Southern New England will 

have a strong presence at Richmond. 

Defending Seekonk Speedway Late Model 

Champion Ryan Kuhn and Thompson 

Speedway standout Tom Carey III, both of 

Massachusetts, have been impressive in limited 

ACT starts. Two other Seekonk stars, 

Jake Johnson and Joshua Hedges will also 

make the trip to Richmond. Rehoboth, MA’s 

Johnson finished second in Seekonk Pro 

Stock points this past year at age 16 while 

New Bedford, MA’s Hedges was the 2018 

Sport Trucks Champion. 

A number of strong weekly racers are joining 

the long-distance veterans. Graniteville, 

VT’s Stephen Donahue, who finished in the 

top-10 in both Thunder Road and White 

Mountain Motorsports Park (WMMP) Late 

Model points in 2018, will make the trip to 

Virginia. His dad John, a many-time winner 

at Thunder Road and with ACT, is joining 

him in the field. Barre, VT’s Jim “Boomer” 

Morris is coming off a career year in weekly 

Thunder Road action and hopes to run three 

times as well on a track three times as long. 

The rest of the region will also be wellrepresented. 

Lancaster, NH’s Shawn Swallow 

has joined the fray after running strong in 

several events this past season. Newmarket, 

NH’s Bryan Kruczek was the first to enter the 

event as the multi-time Pro All Stars Series 

winner will make his debut for Bobby Webber 

Jr. Racing. 

More entries are expected for the inaugural 

ACT Commonwealth Classic 65 in the coming 

days. The entry form, the full schedule of 

events, and other information are available at 

www.acttour.com. The early entry deadline 

for the event is January 31. All entries 

received and/or postmarked after this date 

will be subject to a $100 late-entry fee.

The Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department 

and local fish and game clubs are sponsoring 

public informational meetings on Chronic 

Wasting Disease which the department says 

poses a serious threat to Vermont’s deer herd. 

Chronic Wasting Disease infects whitetailed 

deer, moose and other members of the 

deer family and has been spreading across the 

United States and, more recently, has been 

documented in Quebec. 

The meetings start at 6:30 p.m. and are 

scheduled as follows: January 31, Barre Fish 

and Game Club, Gun Club Rd. Hosted by the 

Barre Fish and Game Club with light refreshments 

provided. February 13, Pittsford – 

Mendon Fish and Game Club, East Pittsford 

Rd. Hosted by the Mendon Fish and Game 

Club with light refreshments provided. 

Wildlife veterinarian Dr. Walter Cottrell 

will speak about the disease, how it is spread, 

its effects on deer populations, and efforts 

needed to keep the disease from entering 

Vermont. Dr. Cottrell will describe how the 

disease has impacted deer, elk and moose in 

North America, as well his first-hand experiences 

with the disease when he was a wildlife 

veterinarian for the Pennsylvania Game 

Commission. 

“Chronic Wasting Disease is the most serious 

threat to Vermont’s wild deer herd and 

our state’s tradition of deer hunting,” said 

Nick Fortin, Vermont Fish & Wildlife’s deer 

biologist. “We are proudly partnering with 

local fish and game clubs to inform 

Vermonters about what is at stake with this 

disease and what is being done to prevent it.” 

If you are going ice fishing soon, planning 

a family fishing trip next summer, or want to 

check deer season dates for next fall you will 

want to get copies of the 2019 Vermont 

Hunting and Trapping Guide and Fishing 

Guide. Both are available free where licenses 

are sold and from Vermont Fish & Wildlife 

offices statewide. 

The two publications are updated with the 

latest laws and 2019 season dates as well as a 

lot of additional helpful information. 

Digital versions of the publications can be 

found on the Vermont Fish & Wildlife website 

(www.vtfishandwildlife.com).
