POETRY CORNER Windshield Wipers and Me By Todd Washburne I am autistic. My head is always filled with noise. The rain is noisily banging on the roof of the car. The rain is hitting the windshield hard. The noises get louder and louder My noises get louder. The windshield wipers are going faster and faster. The sounds of them get louder and louder. I get nervous and agitated, But they have to stay on as the rain is now a downpour. SPEAKING OUT | The WORLD What Do You Put On Your Hotdog? So, I was told very firmly not to grab and try to turn them off. But I did try to grab. Again and again I was reminded in a very calm voice by the driver not to do this again. So, I did what was taught to me to get me refocused. I took a deep breath, but the damn wipers kept up the incessant racket and the driver kept speaking to me quietly and calmly. Finally, my brain loosened its grip and I was soothed by the calm voice and I then sat quietly listening to the rain.

Magic Spell By Kimberly Madura I know a girl who has magic in her spirit She can draw electrical fire out of a cloud Magic, how do you make it happen in the daylight? And then, in the still of the night does it hurt, do you remember, do you feel, is there a price, is there pain? What is the price for an enchanted life? What is the price for magic? And how long will this spell last? Before she turns into a pumpkin A Flower By Old George A flower is like a castle, With a blossom in every room, filled with love for you. Each trying to grow a blossom. As beautiful as you. For nectar like honey you may be. You’re like a beautiful song, Of a bird upon a tree! The scent of apple blossoms in the air. So hold a flower to your heart. As you toss a coin, as you make a wish. For that some one that you care. So take a flower. And give your smile to me.

Concepts Kakuro Best described as a number crossword, the task in Kakuro is to fill all of the empty square, using numbers 1 to 9, so the sum of each horizontal lock equals the number to its left, and the sum of each vertical block equals the number on its top. No number may be used in the same block more than once. July 31, 2019 The WORLD page 21
SPORTS & OUTDOORS Think Twice before Taking a Native Turtle Home Each year, Steve Parren, wildlife biologist with the Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department, gets contacted about pet turtles people no longer want. Some turtles grow too large. Others require more complicated care than owners realize--turtles kept indoors require full-spectrum lighting for healthy shell development. And with lives that can last 50 years or longer, turtles often outstay their welcome. Not only is it illegal to keep native turtles as pets in Vermont, releasing captive native turtles into the wild could introduce diseases to, or mix up the genetics of, local turtle populations. Often, releasing a pet turtle is not a safe option, so a facility must be found to take in the turtle. “In the past, I or someone from the Department, have tried to find appropriate homes for unwanted turtles,” says Parren, who heads up the wildlife diversity program and has worked with turtles for 35 years. “If the turtle is legal in the pet trade some pet stores or individuals will take them, but not all. A reptile welfare facility in New Hampshire that could legally re-home native species no longer takes some species and they aren’t alone.” Parren notes many facilities have too many of some species and aren’t accepting common ones anymore. This could result in unwanted pet turtles being put down. While a drastic option, it’s better than risking a disease outbreak that could affect many wild animals. Deadline for Antlerless Deer Applications is Aug. 14 The deadline to apply for an antlerless deer permit to be used during Vermont’s December 7-15 muzzleloader deer hunting season is Wednesday, August 14. Paper antlerless permit applications are not available this year. You can apply online at the Vermont Fish & Wildlife’s website www.vtfishandwildlife.com), or license agents across the state that sell hunting and fishing licenses can process your application for you. Landowners who do not have a Conservation ID number will need to create a profile through the online license sales system to apply for a landowner application even if they do not intend to purchase a hunting • • • Taking less-common species home is an even worse idea. “Removing even a few adults each year can send a local turtle population into decline,” says Parren. “So please, enjoy Vermont’s native turtles in the wild. Help move one off the road safely in the direction it’s traveling. Take a photo with a phone.” Make a report to the Vermont Reptile and Amphibian Atlas https://www.vtherpatlas. org/ But don’t take a turtle home. For more information on Vermont’s native turtles, see www.vtfishandwildlife.com. license. Landowners who post their land may not apply for a muzzleloader landowner antlerless deer permit. “The winter of 2019 was severe in central and northeastern Vermont, causing the permit allocation to be 51 percent less in those areas than in 2018,” said Nick Fortin, deer project leader for the Fish & Wildlife Department. “Elsewhere, the permit allocation is similar to 2018 as little change is expected in the deer population in those areas.” A lottery drawing for muzzleloader antlerless permit recipients will be held September 17. Vermont Turkey Brood Survey Starts Aug. 1 Hunters Take 5,349 Turkeys in VT’s Spring Seasons A preliminary report from Vermont Fish & Wildlife shows that hunters brought home 5,349 wild turkeys during the spring hunting season, including 571 turkeys taken during the April youth weekend hunt. “Although this year’s results represent a modest decrease in harvest from those observed over the past few record setting years, the harvest was only slightly below the average harvest of the past ten years,” said Vermont Fish and Wildlife turkey biologist Chris Bernier. “The prolonged cold and wet conditions experienced during the season likely contributed to the decline. Low production of turkey poults in 2017 due to harsh spring weather also likely resulted in fewer twoyear old gobblers this past spring.” Hunter success rates remained high with 23 percent of resident hunters taking birds, and 35 percent of those successful hunters harvested a second bearded bird to fill the two-bird spring bag limit. “The 5,349 turkeys represent an estimated 122,000 servings of locally sourced, organic wild turkey meat as well as countless memories and an enduring connection to the land,” added Bernier. Turkeys were hunted statewide and were harvested in 240 of Vermont’s 253 towns. The northern Lake Champlain Valley and the Connecticut River Valley continued to be productive regions for turkey hunters with • • • Wild turkeys are found throughout most of Vermont, but their reproductive success is monitored annually by the Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department with help from “citizen scientists” who report the number and size of turkey families they see during August. Fish & Wildlife is again asking the public for help. If you see a group of young turkeys in Vermont during August, the department asks you to go to the turkey brood survey on its website (www.vtfishandwildlife.com) so you can record where and when you observed the number of adult and young turkeys, or poults. “When combined with annual harvest data, information gathered from this survey helps to establish long-term trends in Vermont’s wild turkey population,” said Vermont Fish & Wildlife’s wild turkey biologist Chris Bernier. “It also helps us assess the impacts of spring and winter weather on the survival of poults and adult turkeys which is an important consideration in the management of turkeys.” “We monitor and manage wild turkey numbers annually in order to maintain a healthy, abundant and sustainable population of these iconic and ecologically significant birds throughout the state,” added Bernier. “Beyond providing Vermonters with a local source of protein and an enduring connection to their environment, turkey hunting is the principal mechanism for managing Vermont’s turkey population. Please help us scientifically manage the turkey population by reporting your Vermont turkey sightings during August.” the highest harvests again recorded in these parts of the state. Vermont continues to prioritize high quality spring turkey hunting over fall turkey hunting opportunities. “This strategy certainly helped us sustain an abundant turkey population and realize a successful spring season despite the shortage of beechnuts and acorns we experienced last fall and the challenging winter and spring weather turkeys faced,” said Bernier. “Vermont’s long history of careful and considerate management of wild turkeys has positioned us to maximize the benefits we all receive from this remarkable bird. Beyond the simple enjoyment and sustenance people get from watching and hunting wild turkeys, these birds play a critical role in the environment as an important prey item and influence the populations of many other species.” Conservation of wild turkey habitat continues to play a key role in the health and vitality of their population. Bernier notes that a patchwork of fields and forests provide most of what a turkey needs to survive. He says the efforts to protect and manage habitat by private landowners, volunteer-based conservation groups like the National Wild Turkey Federation, and state and NGO conservation organizations will help ensure Vermont has a sustainable and abundant wild turkey population for the future.
