Williston Central School led the way as the top fundraising team … The 67-member team raised over $16,000.

$16,000. For the fifth year in a row, the Union Mutual Popsicles were the top fundraising team of the Burlington Plunge, with their 45-member team raising an astounding $104,006.

The Southern Vermont Penguin Plunge took place in-person on March 11 at the Dana L Thompson Memorial Park in Manchester. Close to 100 community members from Manchester and neighboring towns raised over $16,000. Plungers ran through streams of water from a Manchester Fire Department fire truck in support of Special Olympics Vermont.

All funds raised through the Penguin Plunge support SOVT’s athletic training and competition opportunities for both community and school-based programs, free health screenings, and leadership opportunities for children and adults with intellectual disabilities in Vermont. As SOVT athlete leader Bennett Townley says, “Special Olympics programs have made a positive impact in my life, allowing me to feel more included in the community, make new friends and improve my physical and emotional well-being.”

Take precautions as bears become active

The Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department has begun to receive reports of bears coming out of their dens as the weather warms.

Bear incidents have been on the rise over the past several years. In 2022, there were multiple bear homes break-ins, and two bear attacks. Officials believe this trend is a result of Vermont’s healthy black bear population learning to associate people and food over multiple generations.

“Preventing bears from having access to human-related foods is key to successful coexistence with these long-lived and intelligent animals,” said Jaclyn Comeau, Vermont Fish and Wildlife’s bear biologist. The department asks Vermonters to take the following proactive steps for coexisting with bears:

• Take down birdfeeders between late March and December

• Store garbage in bear-proof containers or structures. Trash cans alone are not enough

• Use electric fences to keep chickens and honeybees safe

• Request a bear-proof dumpster from your waste hauler

• Feed your pets indoors

• Never feed bears, deliberately or accidentally

“Now is the time for Vermonters to take down our birdfeeders, make sure our garbage is secure and protect our backyard chickens and bees with an electric fence,” said Comeau. “This will help teach bears that our yards and neighborhoods are not good places to search for food — but it will only work if everyone does their part.”

Vermont Fish and Wildlife also asks Vermonters to submit reports of bears engaging in potentially dangerous behavior, like targeting birdfeeders and garbage, feeding on crops or livestock, or investigating campgrounds. Reports can be submitted on the department’s webpage (www.vtfishandwildlife.com).

“If bears are finding food on your property, it is your responsibility to remove that attractant and report a problem before the situation escalates,” said Comeau.
