By DJ Dave Hoffenberg I always look forward to the Long Trail Century Ride after party because I get to DJ alongside some really great bands. This Saturday, June 23 at the Long Trail Brewery is no different. The two greats are the Steal Your Peach Band, which is a Grateful Dead/Allman Brothers tribute band,…

By Cal Garrison a.k.a. Mother of the Skye This week’s Horoscopes are coming out under the light of a Virgo Moon. From what I can see the picture looks relatively pleasant, with aspects that are easing things up just long enough for our faith to be restored, and for the rocky road of change to level off…

Courtesy Dave Hoffenberg The Samples By DJ Dave Hoffenberg  Summer’s here and the time is right for dancing in the street. You can also dance at a music festival and summer has so many good ones to choose from. There is only one though that features The Samples and that is Jerry Jam at the…

By Dave Hoffenberg And then there was one, all alone at the top and that is Clearly Moguls. The team swept its three-game week and came away unscathed after the first round of games. Now it's wash, rinse, repeat and on to the second round of games. CM started with a double-header last Monday night…

By Cal Garrison a.k.a. Mother of the Skye This week’s horoscopes are coming out under the light of a Taurus Moon. By the time Wednesday rolls around the Moon will conjunct the Sun and enter its “New” phase in Gemini. On top of this, before the week is out, with Mercury shifting from Gemini to Cancer, and…

By Dom Cioffi The grumbling went on for days. Occasionally I would hear hate-speak; other times, pointed questions were blurted out. And then finally one day my wife walked out of her office and tossed her cell phone onto the couch. “I’ve had it,” she exclaimed, with more than a hint of desperation in her…

By Marguerite Jill Dye Those of you who grew up in the Green Mountains of Vermont or other wilderness areas may take certain things for granted, but when I found bear poop just outside our bedroom window, I was excited and beside myself. As a Jersey girl and weekend Vermonter, I grew up helping Dad build…

By Cal Harrison a.k.a Mother of the Skye  This week’s Horoscopes are coming out under the light of a Void-of-Course, Aquarius Moon that will remain in that mode until it moves into Pisces at a little before 7 a.m. June 5. Aspect-wise, things look pretty easy to take. On the surface, a Grand Trine between Venus,…

By Marguerite Jill Dye Perched on the deck this shimmering hour, hummingbirds hum and songbirds sing. Pico and Killington peek through the trees as sunlight illuminates chartreuse spring leaves. The peace on the deck contrasts sharply with the chaos I’ve created inside. A decluttering tornado has just passed through. Plastic bins’ contents of keepsakes and…

By Dom Cioffi Many years ago (just before the advent of the new millennium), I stood in the basement of my new home trying to envision a renovation project that would meet all my particular needs. At that point, the area was a dusty second thought. The previous owners had used it strictly for storage,…

By Cal Garrison a.k.a. Mother of the Skye This week’s horoscopes are coming out under the light of a Scorpio Moon that will turn Void-of-Course at 1:25 p.m. May 28, and remain in that mode until it enters Sagittarius at around 6:29 p.m. The tail end of our Memorial Day weekend is always a herald…

By Dom Cioffi  My teenage son looked at me the other night and stated, “Dad, can you stop being a coach and just be my father?” That hit home, not only because it was a pretty insightful comment from such a young mind, but also because it was painfully true. I’ve been coaching sports in…

By DJ Dave Hoffenberg May is Brain Cancer Awareness Month. The ribbon color is gray because gray matters. On Saturday, June 10 at 11 a.m. you can help the cause by participating in the first ever Wander to Wonder 5K Walk at Castleton University. There will be signs around campus directing where to go; or GPS…

By Marguerite Jill Dye Sometimes we just need to click “pause” to escape from the craziness of everyday life. Full schedules, obligations, media, and events cause many to live in constant distraction. But when we take a few minutes within, our inner nature reveals itself. Pushing the pause button gives us the time to turn experiences…

By Cal Garrison, a.k.a. Mother of the Skye This week’s Horoscopes are coming out under a Void-of-Course Leo Moon, that will enter Virgo at around 10:03 p.m. (EST) on May 21. The sun changed signs over the weekend, moving from Taurus to Gemini at 10:15 p.m. on Sunday night.  Venus enters Cancer on May 19,…
