SUMMARY:Book signing with author Megan Price
DESCRIPTION:Megan Price is a Vermont Lakes Region native whose heritage is 100 percent Welsh.  True to Megan’s heritage\, her original plan was to sing\, but she decided writing was more likely to pay the bills. Megan worked as a news reporter\, was later elected to serve three terms in the Vermont Legislature and later worked for health care reform to benefit elderly Vermonters that resulted in a Department of Justice investigation.  \nFor the past decade\, Megan has focused on writing the stories of retired game wardens. The result is “Vermont Wild\, Adventures of Fish & Game Wardens” which has proven a hit with ages nine to 99 in Vermont and nationwide.  \nThe wardens’ stories are told in the first person and immortalize their true encounters with hungry bear\, angry moose\, raucous raccoons and endless clever poachers. The stories are read aloud in schools from Maine to Texas taken to hunting camp and shared in nursing homes.  To date\, Megan has put more than 100 of the men’s stories into print\, with the photos of the men and a brief bio in each book.  \nThe signing will be held at the Poultney Museum of History and Art\, 168 York Street\, Poultney\, Vt.

SUMMARY:Sheldon Museum Tick Talk
DESCRIPTION:David Allen\, Associate Professor of biology at Middlebury College will present “The Ecology of Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases” in the Sheldon’s barn. Allen studies the ecological\, climate\, and landscape factors which determine tick-borne disease risk. He uses a mix of fieldwork\, lab-based and modeling methods. \nOver the last two decades\, tick populations and cases of tick-borne diseases (like Lyme disease) have increased dramatically in Vermont. Tick populations are influenced by a complex set of biotic (e.g.\, deer and mouse populations) and abiotic (e.g.\, climate) drivers. \nAs a result\, it is hard to say what is responsible for the dramatic change to tick populations. \nThis talk will present a brief introduction to tick biology. Allen will also discuss his research trying to understand what drives tick-borne disease risk in Vermont. \nFree and open to the public\, seating is limited\, first come-first served. Bring a bag lunch if you’d like!

SUMMARY:Poultney Habitat Improvement Tour
DESCRIPTION:The Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department and the National Wild Turkey Federation are excited to announce an upcoming tour to highlight land management practices to improve wildlife habitat for game species at Birdseye Wildlife Management Area (WMA) in Poultney. The tour will be led by Travis Hart and Andrea Shortsleeve\, wildlife habitat biologists with the Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department\, and Matt DiBona\, a wildlife biologist with the National Wild Turkey Federation. \nThe group will walk through large patch cuts\, a prescribed burn area\, released apple trees\, and other recently completed habitat projects while discussing how these projects benefit deer\, bears\, turkeys\, and other wildlife and how they can be implemented on your property. While game species will be the focus of the discussion\, these habitat practices also benefit many nongame species\, including pollinators. Birdseye WMA is a 3\,600-acre property owned by the Fish and Wildlife Department and is managed to benefit wildlife while providing opportunities for the public to access and enjoy the area. The property ranges from level former farmland to the steep talus slopes of Birdseye Mountain and provides a habitat for diverse wildlife. \nThe group will meet at the snowplow turnaround at the end of Birdseye Road in Poultney. Please dress for the weather and wear suitable footwear. Participants are encouraged to bring water\, a journal for notes\, and a desire to learn more about improving habitats \n\n\n\n\nThe tour is free; however\, attendants are asked to register online to help with planning. Any questions can be directed to Travis Hart at Travis.Hart@vermont.gov.

SUMMARY:Buster Keaton's 'Battling Butler'
DESCRIPTION:Silent film program postponed from July 23 due to excessive heat; film to be screened with live musical accompaniment. \nHe never smiled on camera\, earning him the nickname of “the Great Stone Face.” But Buster Keaton’s comedies rocked Hollywood’s silent era with laughter throughout the 1920s. Acclaimed for their originality\, clever visual gags\, and amazing stunts\, Keaton’s films remain popular crowd-pleasers today. See for yourself with a screening of ‘Battling Butler’ (1926)\, one of Keaton’s landmark feature films\, at 7 p.m. at the Brandon Town Hall and Community Center\, 1 Conant Square\, Route 7 in Brandon\, Vt. Admission is free; donations are welcome to help support ongoing Town Hall renovation efforts.
