According to officials with
the Vermont Fish and Wildlife
Department, deer populations
are down nearly 15,000 animals
from last year, although the
overall numbers are where they
are supposed to be.
Vermonts pre-hunt deer
population is estimated at
123,000 this year with the great-
est number of deer found in the
southwest, east-central, and
northwestern regions of the
state, Wildlife Director Mark
Scott said last month. This is
about 10 percent fewer deer
than last year, but it is comfort-
ably within the limits of the
deer population goal set in
Vermonts 2010-2020 Big Game
Management Plan. Analysis of
fawn and buck body weights
and reproductive capacity indi-
cates the deer population is in
very good condition.
Despite the decline in
Vermonts deer population,
hunters who spend the time in
the woods should find them-
selves successful.
According to Deer Hunting
in United State: Demographics
and Trends, a U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service study released
in September, hunters who har-
vest a deer spend twice as many
days in the woods, on average,
than those who do not.
The report, which is based
on 2006 data, revealed that hunt-
ers in Vermont spend an aver-
age of 12 days hunting. However,
successful hunters (those who
actually harvested a deer) spent
an average of 16 days in the
woods compared to just 10 days
for hunters who were unable to
harvest a deer.
Those figures are very simi-
lar in neighboring New York
State (the New York state rifle
season begins on Nov. 19)where
successful hunters needed, on
average, 17 days to harvest a
deer whereas unsuccessful
hunters spent 11 days in the
woods.
Regardless of whether
theyre successful or not, hunt-
ing remains extremely impor-
tant to the states economy.
In 2010, 79,603 people pur-
chased Vermont hunting licens-
es and those hunters spend
more than a $189 million in the
state annually.
92 percent of license buyers
hunted for whitetail deer, mak-
ing it the most popular large
game animal by a large margin.
Although serious hunting
accidents are rare, officials
encourage hunters to use cau-
tion in the woods and follow
several guidelines so they and
others remain safe.
Hunters should remember to
treat their gun as if it were
loaded, know whats behind
their target and not shoot over
the top of a hill.
Its also a good idea to wear
blaze orange, especially when
youre moving around so people
can identify each other in the
woods.
Local hunters will want to
keep in mind that the antler
restriction that was enacted in
2005 remains in effect this year.
According to the restriction,
hunters may take a deer that
has at least one antler that con-
tains two points one inch or
longer from base to top. Thus,
spike-antlered deer are protect-
ed.
The Vermont deer hunting
rifle season runs through Nov.
27; muzzleloader season run
from Dec. 3-11.
Vermont hunting licenses,
including a buck tag and a bear
tag, cost $22 for residents and
$100 for non-residents, a slight
increase from last year. Hunters
under 18 years of age can pur-
chase a resident license for $8
and a non-resident license for
$25.
Licenses are available on the
Fish and Wildlifes website and
from license agents statewide.

deer hunting season, including
rules and regulations and a list

It was the robbery of the
Citizens Bank on Poultneys
Main Street that provided the
crucial citing which helped
police to crack the case and
catch both suspects.
Roberts said he was not sure
exactly why the woman in a non-
descript car caught his attention
initially, but once she was out
the door is was clear something
was going on.
On a day considered balmy
for the Northeast in fall, about
65 degrees and sunny, the woman
was wearing a heavy, dark-col-
ored hooded sweatshirt with
the hood up.
I got kind of suspicious
right away, he said.
Having heard news reports
of the area robberies, Roberts
said he was also aware police
were looking for a dark colored
car with New Jersey license
plates.
This car had New Jersey
license plates.
When the woman in the hood-
ie returned it was plain to see
something was wrong because
Roberts said her bag was billow-
ing purple-colored smoke.
A teller at the Citizens Bank
inserted a dye pack into the
money handed over to Ludwig,
the remnants of which could
later be seen on her hands when
she was apprehended outside of
Paul Family Pizza in Hydeville.
Ludwig got into the car and
left the area.
Roberts said he didnt need to
call 911 because police were at
his door asking if he had seen
anything within minutes of the
car pulling out.
It was Roberts taking down
the license plate number when
the suspicious-acting woman
got out of her parking spot at
the Stewarts Shop across the
street that led to the capture of
the pair of suspects in the five
area bank robberies.
It was a good thing I wasnt
busy at the time, Roberts said.
His barber chair faces away
from the windows that look out
on the spot where Ludwig
parked her black 2000 Ford
Taurus Nov. 2 before walking up
the alley and entering the
Citizens Bank branch on Main
Street and showing the clerk a
note threatening a gun and
demanding money.
Ironically, it was the same
spot, Roberts said, that bank
robbers used in 2008 when a
man robbed the same Poultney
bank.
He got 40 months, Roberts
said.
He too was caught thanks to
the observations of Roberts. The
barber brushes off suggestions
he is anything other than a man
who was paying attention in the
right place at the right time.
Im not a hero or anything;
the police who caught him did
all the work. I just gave them the
information, they did all the
work, Roberts said Friday
morning as he finished off
another haircut. They did a
good job; I think it was excellent
work.
In less than an hour after
Roberts gave police the descrip-
tion, Ludwig and Maynard were
in handcuffs.
The following day, Nov. 3, the
couple was charged with three
bank robberies in Vermont
including the Merchants Bank
in Rutland, the Lake Sunapee
Bank in West Rutland and the
Poultney Citizens Bank branch.
Officials have said the couple
will face charges for both
Granville robberies as well, at a
later date.
Roberts&RQWLQXHGIURPIURQWSDJH
spent weeks at a time on
Lake St. Catherine. In August
of 2001 he re-visited our town
and the Lakes Region to write a
Weekend Excursion travel arti-
cle for The Times. The article
was a big hit in the commu-
nity and was posted in many
establishments. If you visit the
Historical Societys 1896
Schoolhouse, the article is still
posted on the stairway wall. It
represents a lasting memory of
how things ( and people) used to
be.
Strum was a reporter and
editor on the metropolitan desk
of the Times, and held various
editing posts on the national
and foreign news desks, as well.
He was also obituaries editor
for five years and, from 2006 to
2011 was associate managing
editor overseeing the night
news operations of The Times.
He is now a deputy national edi-
tor.
This lecture will be an oppor-
tunity to gain insight into the
world of journalism today and
how George Jones might feel at
home in The Times newsroom
of 2011. This lecture is part of
Poultneys 250th celebration
and is a free event. All interest-
ed in membership in the
Poultney Historical Society
may obtain information on the
day of the lecture. For further

%\&DWKHULQH02OLYHULRThe Poultney High School
Drama Club proudly presents
30 Reasons Not to be in a Play.
The author, Alan Haehnel,
wrote this play as a series of
vignettes with things that could
go wrong during a performance
for those who feel a call to the
stage.
The production will be held
in the PHS gym Fri., Nov. 18 at 7
p.m. and Sat., Nov. 19 at 2 and 7
p.m. Tickets at the door are $4
for adults; $3 for senior citizens
and students; and free for chil-
dren seven and under.
English teacher and drama
club director Scott Holliman
emphasized that all should
come support your local youth
and performing arts. Holliman
and his cast of students from
grades 7-12 play as many as
seven parts and are ready to
show you a great time!
Its a hilarious comedy,
said ninth-grader Emma Baker.
Theres a little bit of every-
thing for everyone. Its going to
be a blast!
Eleventh-grader and Swiss
foreign exchange student, Livia
Enzmann said, This is my first
play. Its been a great experi-
ence, and Im excited to per-
form.
The play is enthusiastic and
full of energy, said ninth-grad-
er Martin VanBuren III.
I feel that were ready and
sending mixed messages to kids
that may think of doing drama
later on. Plays are actually fun,
and thats why we spend our
time putting them on, said
eighth grader Calvin Brooks.
In a sense its funny putting on
this play due to the name of it.
That is why people will want to
see it.
Seventh-grader Casey
Thornton felt that things have
been going fairly well. People
will enjoy it because its a com-
edy, said Thornton. Weve put
a lot of time and effort, and Mr.
Holliman has made it excellent.
You wont regret coming.
Its over-dramatic in a funny
way, said seventh grader Sky-
lyn Mead. During rehearsal it
is hard not to laugh during cer-
tain parts.
Seventh grader Ethan Colm
said, I like it because it has
good depth to it, is well written,
and I like how we can change
from one scene to the next.
Dont forget to come! It will be a
memorable.
We work as a team, and like
Mr. Holliman said, were one
big family, said seventh grad-
er Kennedy Brayton.
Seventh-grader Alivia Morse
said, Its a funny play, and
were doing great as a team.
Other cast members include
Brockton Corbett, Sarah Coker,
Emma Dailey, Eleanor Dailey,
Ashley Daniels, Marie Doudal,

Lakes Region Police
Cadets, over the summer the
cadets partnered with Fair
Haven Concerts in the Park.
The cadets would show up
before concerts begin and help
set up, carry chairs for the
elderly, pass out raffle tickets,
stay until the end to clean up,
along with anything else that
was asked of them. They would
never expect anything in
return, and I was proud of
them.
This school year we have
been learning how to investi-
gate a crime scene, from the
time an officer arrives at
the scene until the time the
paperwork is sent to the State
Attorney. As of right now we
have learned how to arrive and
start the process of answering
who, what, where, when and
how. This week we will be tak-
ing a break in order to help our
school maintenance team num-
ber the classroom doors. This
will help to make the school
safer.
In December we will be help-
ing to attach the 911 signs to
residents homes in Fair
Haven. A bottle drive to raise
money for our program will
be accompanying this project.
We have one upcoming fund-
raiser that we are hoping to be
able to earn money to buy
equipment to help in more real-
istic training. It is a comedy
basketball game where the
Court Jesters will play against
the student and any faculty. It is
scheduled for April 14, 2012 in
the FHUHS gym.
Gift of Life MarathonWere going for the national
blood donation record! Lets be
a part of the Gift-of-Life
Marathons success story. On
the Morning of Tuesday, Dec.
20, FHUHS will be running
buses filled with donors to
Rutland in order to help reach
the national record goal of 1,969
pints of blood. Any interested
students or staff aged 17 or
older should sign up in the
office or during 5th period in
the lobby. Please see Jake Silver
if you have any questions.
Internet safety
Earlier this month, the
school hosted an Internet Safety
and Bullying Presentation by
Katie LeClerc Greer. Thanks to
grant funding, we were able to
bring this phenomenal speaker
to our school and community.
The students heard the presen-
tation in the afternoon and then
kept her busy with 30 minutes
worth of questions. She was so
knowledgeable concerning the
technology our students are so
familiar with, and the questions
they asked also showed how
much they were lacking when it
comes to keeping themselves
safe on line. She will continue
to answer questions via e-mail
for any students that have more
questions. She then came to the
faculty meeting to offer answers
to any of the school staff that
were left with questions and
encouraged them to attend later
that evening.
She returned at 6:30 that eve-
ning to speak to parents and
community members. This was
restricted to adults 18 and older.
Some of the content was fright-
ening for a parent to hear, but
she also provided solutions to
the cases she presented. It was
so much information and so
well presented. there was so
much information she left her
contact information. Her web-
site is www.klgreer.com and her
e-mail is [email protected] and
she encouraged parents and
students to contact her.
