As reports of bird deaths rise, state officials ask Vermonters to take precautions
Emma Cotton reporting for VT Digger
As the avian flu continues to impact wildlife in Vermont, state officials are warning Vermonters to continue taking precautions when using bird feeders, stay away from any birds that may be sick and report sightings of dead flocks.
In May, only a handful of wild birds and one domestic flock had been reported to be infected with the virus.
Recently, officials confirmed that a flock of wild geese found dead in Barton had died of the avian flu, and at least 72 wild birds in the state have reportedly died from the disease, though that number is likely higher, according to David Sausville, who manages Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department’s wildlife program.
“With our testing, you have to look at the numbers with a little bit of a filter, because our goal was to document it by species and then also in regions of the state. So once we had it confirmed in, let's say the Chittenden County area … we didn't continue to test it,” he said.
Two flocks of infected domestic birds have been killed in Vermont to prevent further spread, according to department officials. One flock in Caledonia County was infected earlier this year, and another, with 50 birds, was identified in Lamoille County in early December. Domestic flocks are particularly susceptible to the flu.
Only one person in the United States has tested positive for avian flu, and there’s little risk of the virus spreading to humans in Vermont as long as people take precautions around birds that may have either contracted or died from avian flu, officials say.
Still, Sausville recommends that people who come across flocks of dead birds report the sightings to the department.
“This time of year, songbirds — five or more in one spot — would be something that would kind of trigger us to say there might be something going on here,” Sausville said.
While the avian flu’s impact has remained relatively constant since the disease first emerged in the state last spring, it hasn’t worsened, Sausville said. Officials do not think it poses a risk of destabilizing wild bird populations.

Therefore the Common Level of Appraisal (CLA) is 80.97%.According to Vermont State Statutes, if a CLA is below 85% of above 115% a reappraisal is required.
The select board will tackle this and many more issues on Tuesday evening. (See Agenda below)

Accident on Weathersfield Center Road leads to court appearance
74-year-old man incarcerated at Southern State Correctional Facility dies
Auditi Guha reporting for VT Digger
74-year-old man who was being held at Southern State Correctional Facility in Springfield died Sunday, according to the Department of Corrections and the Vermont State Police.
Henry Butson of St. Johnsbury was brought by ambulance to Springfield Hospital at about 6 a.m. after experiencing difficulty breathing and cardiac issues, according to the DOC. He received emergency care at the hospital but was pronounced dead shortly after 9 a.m. His death is not considered to be suspicious, police said. The cause has not yet been determined.
Butson had been in the prison infirmary since Dec. 2, 2022 and in custody since June 8, 2003, according to state police. He was serving a sentence of 25 years to life in prison following his conviction for two counts of second-degree murder.
The Department of Corrections notified state police of the death at about 10 a.m. Sunday. A preliminary investigation conducted by a state police detective indicated he died as a result of a medical event that followed a decline in health.
Jesse Morey, 30, of Springfield, VT was involved in a crash on Weathersfield Center Rd at Jeffrey Lane in Weathersfield on December 22, 2022 at approximately 17:00 hours. He is cited to appear at the Windsor County Court on January 31, 2023. The troopers of B Troop cited Morey with suspicion of driving with a criminally suspended license

Animal advocates renew calls for trapping restrictions after dog dies in East Corinth
Tiffany Tan reporting for VT Digger
In the midafternoon of Dec. 20, while some people were tying up work ahead of the long holiday, and others were shopping for presents, Anne McKinsey was trudging about half a mile through the snow, trying to get her dog to the veterinarian.
McKinsey and her 3-year-old Shetland sheepdog, Clara, had been walking along one of their usual trails, not far from their home in East Corinth, when McKinsey heard her pet yip in pain.
She found Clara’s neck caught between two hinged metal bars, a device known as a conibear trap, which was set about 50 feet from the wooded trail.
She was able to remove the trap from a makeshift enclosure at the base of a tree. But she couldn’t unlock the trap, so McKinsey carried her 30-pound dog back to the car with the 5-pound contraption around its neck.
“I was talking to her the whole time: ‘Clara, stay with me. Stay with me, girl,’” said McKinsey, who’s 65. “By the time I got her back to the car, she was dead.”
Maj. Sean Fowler, deputy chief of the Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department’s warden services division, said Wednesday that the state has documented 13 cases so far this year of pets being caught in traps, with at least one resulting in death.
A 2019 state law requires trappers to tell the department if they incidentally trap dogs or cats.
McKinsey reported Clara’s fatal injury to the department. She said a game warden who investigated found that the trap was likely illegal, because the device didn’t have the required tag, its size could have trapped an animal that was not in season, and it was placed on private land without the owner’s permission.
Fish & Wildlife declined to comment on the case, saying it’s under active investigation.

The Kaskadenac Nordic Ski Club is hoping for snow
Kaskadenac Nordic Ski Club welcomes everyone to ski with them, beginning January 1st.
The Nordic ski season is about to begin and local families are invited to take part in the Kaskadenac Nordic Ski Club, which is a FREE community recreational activity.
Kaskadenac Nordic Ski Club has Nordic skis, boots and poles in a variety of sizes; several miles of groomed trails that intersect with VAST trail 506 which is maintained by Weathersfield Pathfinders; and 2 weekly guided ski sessions for kids and families.
Guided Ski Lessons
The guided ski sessions are led by Sean Whalen and Ashley Hensel-Browning, and go from 3:00-4:30 each Thursday and Friday, when safe skiing conditions prevail.
They teach essential skills for safety, comfort and enjoyment of Nordic skiing. They are on a Weathersfield School bus route, and kids may be dropped off there (3057 Weathersfield Center Road) after school on ski days, by arrangement between parents, school, and the club.
Beginners are welcome and will find easy trails for learning.
Outside of the guided adventures, skiers are welcome to ski the trails any time they're open.
(*see note about waiver, below). The trail system is well connected and you can find your own level.
Snacks are also part of the experience. On the guided ski days they offer hot cocoa and healthy snacks starting around 4:00.
Waiver
To ski the trails here, you'll have to sign a waiver that says you won't sue them if you or your child gets hurt. This is standard practice for ski clubs. Waivers are available and can be signed at the clubhouse.
Please stop at the clubhouse at 3057 Weathersfield Center Road to sign a legal waiver before enjoying the trails; after that, you're good to go.
Donate, Volunteer
Kaskadenac Nordic would love to accept donations of ski equipment, volunteer time, money and other in-kind gifts. All of that will keep this wonderful free community activity going.
If you're in a family that skis with them and would like to contribute healthy snacks to Kaskadenac Nordic, please do contact them. They are looking for donations of fresh or dried fruits, baked goods, and milk for the cocoa.
Gas in the snowmobile, cocoa on the hob, parts on the groomer, skis on the rack.
For more information contact Sean Whalen and/or Ashley Hensel-Browning, 3057 Weathersfield Center Road, Weathersfield, VT 05151 (802)263-5253
