Spring into summer with pike Wyatt Allenson caught a big pike. But I’m getting ahead of myself. My story this week is supposed to be about trout fishing in May. Hour for hour, the middle of May through early June is my most productive time of year for fishing Vermont trout streams. Waters have warmed enough to kick trout metabolism into high gear, but not so much to make them sluggish again. River levels are low enough to be easily waded — even in my favorite parts of Otter Creek, the biggest river in this neck of the woods. But it is not yet so low that the trout are perpetually spooked or that they all have moved back out of the riffs and into the deep pools. Mid-May we also start to see significant hatches of larger aquatic insects, which can spur trout into a feeding frenzy. Our local rivers boast dozens of species of mayflies, caddis flies and stoneflies that come out in somewhat predictable succession at different times of day all through the late spring, often three or four different hatches in a morning or afternoon. The large numbers of fish stocked in the local rivers in mid and early May doesn’t hurt the chances for success. It all results in late spring fishing at its best, when trout can be often hooked all day long. Unfortunately, mid-May is also the busiest time of year for me in my day job as a college professor. I have to give finals, and then grade finals as well as the term projects and papers I so foolishly assigned six weeks earlier. Then there are all of the activities associated with the annual college graduation: receptions and dinners with students and families, along with the commencement ceremony itself, which takes up much of a day. In the midst of all that, I get to spend four days teaching at a creative writing conference for high school students at the Bread Loaf campus in Ripton. Great days with wonderful kids and writers. But not fishing days. It seems, then, like I just bat an eyelid, and all of a sudden spring trout season is over and it’s pike season. So late on a hot afternoon just over a week ago, when the last of my meetings had concluded, I ignored the big stack of ungraded exams on (See Dickerson, Page 2B)

Bristol police busy with everything from DUIs to suspicious men BRISTOL — On April 29 officers from the Bristol Police Department assisted Vermont State Police, who had been involved in a very brief pursuit at around 11 p.m. that resulted in the suspect’s vehicle going off the road and through a fence at Lathrop’s Mill. Bristol police called a tow truck, blocked traffic and cut the chain link fence from under the vehicle. The driver, identified by state police as 48-year-old Donald L. Brown of Bristol, was cited for driving under the influence, second offense, by state police. The next morning Bristol police received a call from Lathrop’s Mill saying a fence had been damaged. Bristol police told mill staff about the state police chase and its conclusion, and gave the mill owner the case number and name of the investigating trooper to follow up with. During April, Bristol police conducted 14 town-contracted traffic patrols on Monkton Road, Route 116, Hewitt Road and Lovers Lane. April 5 was the busiest day, when two stops on Route 116 south of the new bridge resulted in issuance of one ticket for speeding, one citation for driving with a suspended license, a warning for defective equipment, and tickets for possession of marijuana, driving with an open container of alcohol and without proof of insurance. On other traffic patrols, police issued three speeding tickets and eight warnings. Police also checked to make sure local businesses were secure late at night on several occasions, and notified key holders when they weren’t. In a recently released report, Bristol police said they also: • On April 1 at 1:03 p.m. received a child’s medications from the child’s mother and upon request delivered the medications to a school office, where the child was being tutored. • On April 1 at 1:37 p.m. assisted the Addison County State’s Attorney by issuing a subpoena to a female located walking on West Street. • On April 1 inspected a vehicle identification number. • On April 1 an officer attended a 15-minute training in interviewing tips. • On April 1 at 6:44 p.m. received a debit/credit card found on the ground at a local bank, and contacted the owner. • On April 2 at 8:30 a.m. put a note on an abandoned and/or improperly parked car on Prince Lane saying it would be towed by the end of the day, and it was reportedly driven off at about noon. • On April 2 at 11:20 a.m. the chief had lunch with and was given a tour of a student’s workspace by a Bristol Elementary student. The student had asked to have a police officer as a guest as a reward for the student’s good work at home and at school.

Police said the couple was simply engaged in a verbal dispute. • On April 30 at 7:57 p.m. received a report of medications stolen from a vehicle by two subjects to whom the victim had given a ride. The officer spoke with the victim whose story about what had occurred changed multiple times. Police report that their investigation indicated the victim likely drove to Bristol from Winooski with two subjects he knew, likely gave his medication to them, who in turn attempted to sell the medication to a Main Street resident. Police speculate that when that sale did not happen the subjects left town with the pills leaving the victim without the medication or money from the medication sales. Follow-up is being conducted.

BRISTOL — The WalkOver Gallery in Bristol is hosting a solo exhibition of the works of Kit Donnelly just before she moves to another state to be closer to family and to pursue her career in art. On Friday evening, May 29, from 5 until 7 p.m., there will be a reception and celebration of the artist. Donnelly has worked as an artist in Vermont for nearly 30 years. While raising a family and working a number of jobs, she never stopped painting. The show will reflect that span of time and reveal the spectrum of her work from earlier larger representational pieces through her transition to the world of abstraction in a variety of stages. She says that as a visual artist, “each day presents new symphonies of light, form and movement. I see colors playing off each other in new and unexpected ways. Subtle gestures manifest themselves … the process of seeing is always the beginning of a new painting.” In her study of movement, space, perspective and form, the world of nature and emotion are revealed. Bold and dynamic forms are found throughout all her periods. While the genesis
