RAMBO Hi! My name’s Rambo and I’m a 1-year-old neutered male retriever mix. I was adopted from Lucy Mackenzie as a puppy and recently returned. There were lots of changes in the household, which made taking care of me very difficult for my humans. Since I’ve been back here, I’ve been working on my health and fitness. My diet has been modified, since the vet suspects I have food allergies, and we’ve cut back on the amount I eat. We’re attempting to trim my waistline, too! I could be ok living with another dog, as long as it was a proper match, but I can not live with cats. I’m a very joyful dog that really wants a family to call my own. If you’ve been looking for a deserving, sweet dog to adopt, stop in and meet me today! Lucy Mackenzie Humane Society is located at 4832 Route 44, West Windsor. We’re open to the public Tuesday through Saturday, 12 - 4 p.m. Reach us daily at 802-484-LUCY. Visit us at lucymac.org, like us on Facebook, and follow us on Twitter. We hope to see you soon!

A time of reckoning By Cal Garrison, a.k.a. Mother of the Skye
This week’s Horoscopes are coming out under the light of a Libra Moon. As it approaches fullness, on April 11, there are some beautiful aspects cradling a set of circumstances that are too fragile for words. All of us are moving through a time of reckoning. This is feeling easy or hard, depending on how we have chosen to deal with ourselves up until now. Thinking about what to say about the stars, I have decided to use an excerpt from a conversation with my friend Sheryl. With the recent past and the immediate future in mind, in light of current transits, Sheryl asked me what I thought about the import of the passage from Pisces and Aries, into Taurus. This is what I said in response: “To me, this time is about getting real about living as if you really ARE a spiritual being having a human experience, instead of paying lip service to the concept and living your everyday life addled by monetary fears, and hypocrisies of all kinds. It’s easy for spiritually-minded folks to get good at talking about consciousness and parroting the lingo, but they have a harder time walking their talk. Picture an upper-middle class woman who meditates daily and reads Thich Nhat Hanh, but who whines about her alimony, frets about her wrinkles, spends a fortune at the therapist, and stays married for all the wrong reasons.
PICTURE AN UPPER-MIDDLE CLASS WOMAN WHO MEDITATES DAILY AND READS THICH NHAT HANH, BUT WHO WHINES ABOUT HER ALIMONY, FRETS ABOUT HER WRINKLES, SPENDS A FORTUNE AT THE THERAPIST, AND STAYS MARRIED FOR ALL THE WRONG REASONS. So if we start with Pisces, what happens on the Pisces axis is always about making sure that the inner reality is feeding the outer reality in a way that supports the spiritual growth of the individual. On this planet, we are entrained to live from the outside in. As the we evolve toward a more spiritual understanding we learn that life happens from the inside out. At the moment, the trouble most of us seem to be having, comes down to putting the pedal to the metal and telling the truth about who we are. Aries is good at getting to the bottom of ‘who we are’. With this sign, there is lots of conflict around the concept of “identity.” This emanates from the fact that all of us have been given a one size fits all prescription for life in the Third dimension. By the time we turn 12 years old, we get tricked into believing we’re doing our own thing! It’s insane. It takes a long time to reclaim what gets co-opted by the system. The average person rarely awakens to the fact that they’ve been under a spell since the day they were born. What I see in my charts right now is that everyone is hitting the moment where they get a glimpse of the truth, and have to choose to remain asleep, or face it. In the end we are adjusting our perceptions, inwardly and outwardly, and having to reckon with the extent to which they are in or out of alignment with the truth.” As Taurus beckons, it would be good if we could look at what we could be doing if we decided to get real. The things that live forever are not things. What’s real for any of us is what comes from our hearts. We give birth to it there. It comes to life because we love it into being. Keep that in mind, light a candle to the Full Moon, and enjoy this week’s ‘scopes.

ou can’t be expected to know how to manage this. When life looks like the “52-Pick-Up Olympics,” hardly anything rests in our hands. The laws of serendipity are about to release you from this craziness, long enough to grab a hold of yourself. Certain things will never improve. You can learn to live with that or walk away. There is no right way to handle anything. Your story is too unique to diagnose here. For now, spend less energy trying to uphold the status quo and put the emphasis on trying to understand that what is unique about you came here to shine.
P
N
obody expects you to be perfect. You’re so freaked out about missing the boat, or missing your chance, you’re going nuts trying to cover all of your bases, all of the time. God knows what you’re so wound up about. If it has anything to do with losing your position, you need to take a look at why you’re so quick to sell yourself short. So much is about to come together the last thing you need is to screw it up by tossing your worst fears into the cauldron. Give yourself a break. It’s time to start trusting the fact that your gifts and abilities are actually worth something.
T
he light at the end of the tunnel is looking pretty good right now. So much of what you’ve been dreaming about has come to pass. This opening will take you anywhere—not that everything’s all set from here on out, but after a long period of trial you’ve reached an oasis of hope. The future is wide open. Opportunities for love, along with trips here and there are tweaking your life with a hit of something new and exciting. It won’t last forever, but you are moving through a time where the fruits of your labors will add up to whatever it takes to make your life worth living.
Y
ou go a little overboard when sometimes it’s best to hold your horses and think twice about it. It is also extremely important for you to keep your own counsel and refrain from putting too much stock in what those who claim to know better have to say. Part of this experience has to do with learning to trust your own gifts, and your own intuition. The deeper part of you has come into your own. Your truer gifts are in arm’s reach. Those who care keep inviting you to join them. It’s up to you to decide what you can handle. The signs are friendly, for whatever you decide to do.

utting on a happy face is where it’s at right now. It’s a good thing your friends love you enough to let you vent and get real. They can’t believe what you are going through. Somewhere in all of this there is a silver lining. You are blessed with a lot of patience. You have a powerful will. What happens next hinges on your ability to block out every ounce of toxic input and focus on what your current situation needs from you. This is one of those times when your creative gifts are being forged in a cauldron of adversity. When the dust settles, you will come shining through.
triking out on your own could be a strong theme for many of you. Wondering how it will go if you take that leap is on your mind. Others are trying to wrap their mind around the fact that you are more than ready to go for whatever you’re after. Getting to the place where they are ok with it, could take time. This is one of those moments where you’re about to find out what love is. At the point where nothing can stop us those who truly care find a way to make it work. What looks like a roadblock is about to turn into a win-win situation that opens possibilities for both of you.
t would be easy to wonder why all of this had to happen, but you can’t let it interfere with all the goodness that’s showing up on the screen these days. The door is opening and whatever has been outgrown is either gone, or half way out the door. It will be easier to reflect upon the past once you’re settled into the next thing. News from afar, and a chance to get involved with business interests at a distance could surface as themes. I see a chance to study or teach is part of this. You are in good shape all the way around. Stay tuned, remain in the moment, and don’t overanalyze things.

f you knew things would go this way you might have thought twice. Even so, the one thing that seems to be working is your connection to your instinctive/intuitive responses. The need to be flexible, and simultaneously totally strong, is what you’re being called to come up with right now. Any level of dishonesty, in yourself, or through affiliations with the wrong people is something you need to be vigilant about. There are bound to be distractions. That’s ok. As long as you stay in the zone, and stay on top of your own B.S. well enough to ride this wave all the way in.
Y
ou have been waiting for some inspiration. For too long, the same old thing has been a bit of a chore. When we forget why we love what we do it’s time for a break—or at least a little time out to replenish our souls. Those of you who are geared toward work-aholism have good reasons for staying close to the grindstone. Knowing when to call it quits is crucial. Lots of things hang on tenterhooks. It might make more sense to lighten up with this much pressure squishing you down. Pay attention to the inner and the outer connection. Your inspiration lies there.
D
on’t be too sure about how things are going to wind up. You’ve done everything that you can and you’ve put your faith into what counts. Guided by what feels right to you, instead of getting caught up in the form that things are supposed to take, you are using a new approach to your life, to your work, and to your relationships. If there is uncertainty, you are learning to trust the fact that it is there to open the way to possibilities that you would never be able to see if you were sure about everything. Open your life up and let yourself continue to be guided from within.
Mother of the Skye
ou’ve been around the barn enough times to know what’s going on here. Don’t worry about a thing. As long as you know more about other people’s ‘stuff’ than they do, nobody will be able to pull the wool over your eyes. Surrounded by people whose motives are less than clear your street smarts have got you covered. In and around all of this you the next few weeks will be fast and furious. It will be another month before things settle down. Keep yourself centered. Don’t get caught up in other people’s dramas, and above all else, don’t forget to take care of yourself.
Y
ou’re totally on your own— at least that’s how it feels. Underneath it all, you’ve got everything covered, and at least one person watching your back. Close others are dealing with their own stuff. They do what they can to be there for you, but their priorities keep them preoccupied with issues that have nothing to do with you. As the next few weeks play out expect changes that will get you to rethink your plans. Getting someone you trust to keep an eye on the things that can’t be handled in person, and/or needing to check in with distant relations will fill up the next three weeks.

The physical environment of each county — including air pollution, drinking water quality, rate of severe housing problems, and the distance residents commute — is also taken into account. For categories in which the county figure is higher or lower than the state figure, the report highlights areas of concern for possible local efforts to foster improvement, while in categories where the local figure is better than the state figure, that indicates improvement or that the problem is not getting worse. Rutland County Some of the areas in which Rutland County fell below the state’s average include adult obesity (30 percent vs. the avg. 24 percent for Vermont), teen births, ratio of primary care physicians, ratio of mental health providers, preventable hospital stays, injury deaths, violent crime (176 vs. 121 for Vermont) and children in poverty (17 percent vs. the avg. 14 percent for Vermont.) Rutland County matched the state’s average in its rate of adult smoking (16 percent), access to exercise opportunities, percent of uninsured (6 percent), high school graduation rates (88 percent), good environmental index, income inequality, children raised in single parent households (32 percent), average number of social associations and severe housing problems (17 percent). Rutland County exceeded the state’s average for its rate for excessive drinking (18 percent vs. the avg. 20 percent for Vermont), alcohol impaired deaths (24 percent vs. 33 percent for Vermont), sexually transmitted infections (300.2 vs. 357 for Vermont), ratio of dentists, and long commutes to work (23 percent vs. 30 percent for Vermont.) In the major health factor sections, Rutland County ranked ninth in health outcomes, 12th in health factors, seventh in quality of life, 10th in health behaviors, ninth in clinical care options, ninth in social and economic factors affecting health, and 13th in physical environment, which mostly seems to be due to drinking water violations as the Mendon, VT county faired better or equal to the state average for housing problems and commuting to work, and only slightly Class times: 802-747-6300 worse than average for driving alone to work and air pollu'The hottest thing in the green mountains' tion, which were the other factors included in that rating.

Windsor County Some of the areas in which Windsor County fell below the state’s average include teen births, ratio of primary care physicians, preventable hospital stays, access to exercise opportunities, high school graduation rate (85 percent vs. 88 percent for Vermont), and injury deaths. Rutland County matched the state’s average in adult obesity (24 percent), good environmental index, rate of physical inactivity (18 percent, which is lower that the average top U.S. performers), rate of uninsured, percent of children in poverty, children in single parent households, social associations and long commute to work. Windsor County exceeded the state’s average for its rate for premature deaths, adult smoking rate (14 percent), access to excessive drinking (18 percent vs. 20 percent) alcohol-impaired driving deaths (15 percent vs. 33 percent), sexually transmitted infections (255.1 vs. 357 for Vermont), unemployment (3.3 percent vs. 3.7 for Vermont) and violent crime (105 vs. 121 for Vermont.) In the major health factor sections, Windsor County ranked 8 in health outcomes, 4th in health factors, 11th in quality of life, third in health behaviors, seventh in clinical care options, seventh in social and economic factors affecting health, and 11th in physical environment, which also mostly seems to be due to drinking water violations as the county faired similar to the state average in all other factors included in that rating. Premature death statistics Nationally, more people are dying younger, within the ages of 15 to 44. Premature death is measured in terms of years lost by not living to the national average lifespan of 75 years, based on 100,000 people. The rate “began to rise steadily in 2012 and then accelerated from 2014 to 2015 (representing a 1 percent increase),” according to the statistics. During 2015 more than 1.2 million people died prematurely in the U.S., up 39,700 from the prior year, with premature deaths rising across the full range of racial, ethnic groups and community types. Rural counties had the highest rates of premature deaths, the report states, followed by smaller metro areas. The Vermont figure was 5,500 years lost per 100,000 residents in Vermont, compared to 6,400 years lost among Rutland County residents, 5,300 in Windsor County and 5,200 years lost for the best performing counties nationally. Orleans County, which was ranked lowest in the state in overall health, lost 7,000 years to premature death, according to the report. Addison County, the top ranked county, lost 5,000 years to premature death per 100,000 population, had an adult smoking rate of 13 percent and obesity rate of 23 percent. The report also contains information on the primary causes for deaths among younger people, which include injury deaths. That category includes vehicle and other accidents, firearm-related deaths and drug overdoses. Overdose was identified as the leading cause of premature death by injury in 2015. A new statistical measurement in the 2017 report counted disconnected youth, or those 16 to 24 who are not in school or working. There are about 4.9 million disconnected youth in the U.S, with the rates highest among minority youth and higher in rural counties — 21.6 percent — than in urban counties, 13.7 percent. Rutland County showed 13 percent disconnected youth, while Windsor County had 15 percent, compared to 9 percent in the state. Additional statistical information on the health of counties in each state can be found online at www.countyhealthrankings.org. Jim Therrien, of VTDigger, contributed to this report.

National gleaning project report looks at best practices for reducing food waste, addressing food insecurity On April 6, the Center for Agriculture and Food Systems (CAFS) at Vermont Law School announced the publication of a new report, “Models for Success: A Set of Case Studies Examining Gleaning Efforts Across the United States.” The report features best practices for reducing food waste, incentivizing food donations to charitable organizations, addressing issues of food insecurity, and supporting local economies. It was completed as part of CAFS’ National Gleaning Project with support from the National Agricultural Library and U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). “We are hopeful that this resource can assist gleaning organizations in better procuring produce for the food insecure while reducing waste in our food and agriculture system,” said Assistant Professor and Senior Fellow Carrie Scrufari LLM’16, project lead and one of the report authors. The report’s key findings cover infrastructure and distribution best practices, capacity and relationship building, liability, and education and impact. Case studies include field-gleaning organizations,
food banks involved in gleaning, fruit tree-gleaning organizations, and fresh food-recovery organizations. Report interviews feature gleaning leaders across the country, like Robin Safley, executive director of Feeding Florida, a state network of food banks that has its own produce-recovery program, “Farmers Feeding Florida.” “Feeding Florida’s ‘Farmers Feeding Florida’ program serves as an investment in the frontline defense of healthcare by providing hungry Floridians with a healthy, nutritious, and consistent supply of fresh produce,” Safley said. The National Gleaning Project will continue its work to support the growth and expansion of gleaning nationwide by researching and analyzing laws and regulations that pertain to gleaning for farmers, volunteers, food processors, and other organizations. Project partners then will propose legal and policy solutions to address gaps in state and federal law, particularly pertaining to food product donation incentives and liability exposure. For more information, visit nationalgleaningproject.org.
