Barry Goldensohn: “I’ve taught at Goddard, the Writer’s Workshop at the U of Iowa, Hampshire College, Skidmore College from which I retired in 2003, though I still teach in the NY Summer Writers Institute there. I’ve published over a hundred poems in magazines like Salmagundi, The Yale Review, the NYRB, the New Republic and many others, and am at work on my 9th book, which is nearing completion.” Lorrie Goldensohn: “My day job is being a literary critic—my first book, Elizabeth Bishop: The Biography of a Poet, was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize, and the next two, Dismantling Glory, and An Anthology of American War Poetry, were about war poetry. Over decades, I’ve published poems in the New Yorker, American Poetry Review, Salmagundi and The Yale Review. Some poems have strayed into anthologies. I’ve taught fiction, poetry, and memoir writing from Plainfield to Poughkeepsie and abroad from Salzburg to Amsterdam. After retiring from Vassar College in 2000, I began to live half the year in Cabot, VT and the other half wherever choice and necessity take me.” Uranium in Water, Radon in Air Wednesday, Sept. 25th at 7 p.m. Join Stelle Larsen, senior water resources engineer, and Michelle Thompson, Public Health Hygienist from the Vermont Department of Public Health, for a talk about uranium, radon and radium in drinking water and indoor air.

SPORTS & OUTDOORS Hunters Reminded of Rules on Importing Deer, Elk The Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department issued a reminder to hunters traveling outside Vermont to hunt – and particularly to Quebec – that the regulation restricting the importation of deer and elk carcasses, which is designed to protect Vermont’s wild deer from chronic wasting disease, remains in effect and will be fully enforced. CWD was found in Quebec last year. Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a fatal disease of the brain and nervous system in deer and elk. Abnormal prion proteins produce lesions in the brain that cause disorientation and emaciation in conjunction with other abnormal behaviors. For the latest information on CWD, check these websites: www.vtfishandwildlife.com; https://tinyurl.com/y347s7um and www.cwd-info.org. Hunters are also reminded that it is illegal to use deer urine lures in Vermont. Urine lures were banned because of the potential for CWD prion proteins to be introduced to the environment through the bodily fluids of CWD-positive ungulates and then persist in the environment for extended periods of time. Vermont rules on importing and possession of deer or elk from areas with chronic wasting disease (CWD) and captive hunt areas or farms: It is illegal to import or possess deer or elk, or parts of deer or elk, from states and Canadian provinces that have had chronic wasting disease, or from captive hunt or farm facilities with the following exceptions: Meat that is cut up, packaged and labeled with hunting license information and not mixed with other deer or elk during processing; Meat that is boneless; Hides or capes with no part of the head attached; Clean skull-cap with antlers attached; Antlers with no other meat or tissue attached; Finished taxidermy heads; Upper canine teeth with no tissue attached. • • • Vermont’s CWD importation regulations apply to hunters bringing in deer or elk carcasses from the following states and provinces, which now includes Quebec province: Alberta, Arkansas, Colorado, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, New York, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Quebec, Saskatchewan, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Wyoming. “The Fish and Wildlife Department views CWD as the primary threat to Vermont’s deer herd. For this reason, Vermont is committed to preventing this disease by regulating the movement of harvested deer into the state as well as being the first state in the Northeast to ban the use of urine-based deer lures.” said Mark Scott, wildlife director. “We remain dedicated to protecting Vermont’s valuable deer herd for all Vermonters to enjoy.” “Hunters bringing deer or elk from any of the CWD-listed states or provinces into or through Vermont must get them processed according to the regulation before entering Vermont.” Scott also urges hunters to check Quebec’s latest hunting laws because of CWD. A fine of up to $1,000 and loss of hunting and fishing licenses for one year are applicable for each deer or elk imported illegally. VTF&W photo by Tom Rogers Vt Fish & Wildlife Installing Water Control Devices on Beaver Dams To prevent flooding on nearby roads and private property, Vermont Fish & Wildlife staff have installed 11 water control devices on beaver dams this year throughout Vermont. Known as ‘beaver baffles,’ these devices allow some water to pass through the dam without breaching it and destroying the wetland. Fish & Wildlife staff expect to continue to install additional beaver baffles throughout the state this year. The baffles are one of beavers are once again plentiful and widespread many techniques employed or recommended throughout the state.

There is no finer time to begin this journey than during Vermont’s upcoming youth waterfowl hunting weekend on September 28 and 29. “Vermont’s youth waterfowl hunting weekend helps ensure that young hunters get the quality training and experiences they need for lifelong participation,” said Fish & Wildlife Commissioner Louis Porter. “By design, the youth weekend hunt reinforces the route of initiation that is critical in recruitment -- learning from an experienced adult role model.” On September 28 and 29, hunters 17 years of age or younger may hunt ducks and geese in the Lake Champlain and Interior Vermont waterfowl hunting zones. The age requirement is 15 and under in the Connecticut River zone. The youth hunter must have a Vermont hunting license and must be accompanied by an unarmed adult, 18 years of age or older, who also has a Vermont hunting license. Youths 16 and 17 years of age must have state and federal duck stamps. All youth hunters must also register with the Harvest Information Program (HIP) in each state that they hunt. This can be done on Vermont On Wednesday, September 18th at 7pm, Phoenix Books Essex will welcome Nancy and John Hayden to celebrate the launch of their new book, Farming on the Wild Side. Nancy and John run The Farm Between in Jeffersonville. Northern Vermont’s Nancy and John Hayden have spent the last 25 years transforming their draft horse–powered, organic vegetable and livestock operation into an agroecological, regenerative, biodiverse, organic fruit farm, fruit nursery, and pollinator sanctuary. In Farming on the Wild Side they explain the philosophical and scientific principles that influenced them as they phased out sheep and potatoes and embraced apples, pears, stone fruits, and a wide variety of uncommon berry crops; turned much of their property into a semi-wild state; and adapted their marketing and sales strategies to the new century. As the Haydens pursued their goals of enhancing biodiversity and regenerating their land, they incorporated agroforestry and permaculture principles into perennial fruit polycultures, a pollinator sanctuary, repurposed greenhouses for growing fruit, hügelkultur, and ecological “pest” management. Beyond the practical techniques and tips, this book also inspires readers to develop greater ecological literacy and respect for the mysteries of the global ecosystem. Farming on the Wild Side tells a story about new ways to manage small farms and homesteads, about nurturing land, about ecology, about economics, and about things • • • Vemon o waefowl nn weeen eeme an ea. oo fom VT llfe Fish & Wildlife’s website or by calling tollfree 1-877-306-7091.
