A full month has passed in which my minor obsession with Justin Bieber’s “Sorry” music video has not subsided; I suppose it may be time to come clean. Released on Oct. 22, 2015, the clip has so far notched only about half as many YouTube views as “What Do You Mean?” the lead single from…

By Cal Garrison, a.k.a. Mother of the Skye This week's Horoscopes are coming out under the light of a Leo Moon, with short and long term aspects that include the Sun and Saturn, in a hard Square to the planet Neptune. Translating this configuration into laymen's terms it comes down to confronting our illusions and…

By Brady Crain Skiing has proved a distraction for Crain’s running goals... he just can’t get enough of it, includeing this peak view. So this is the week that I travel to Dallas to run in my race. Given my acute loathing of running on pavement, I have been avoiding it. Instead I’ve been skiing,…

Kathleen Shaw, DVM Vermont Veterinary Medical Association The last thing any pet owner wants to do on Thanksgiving is rush their pet to the animal emergency room. The sad truth, however, is that many pets are injured or poisoned around Thanksgiving. How can you make sure your holiday doesn’t end in…

By Elise Tillinghast Last week, a black bear in a blaze orange collar showed up in our yard. Two cubs followed close behind. The sow paused to observe the house, then led her cubs up across our field and down into a small stand of apple trees beside the road. There the family feasted on…

I’ll bet just about everyone reading this column remembers bringing home papers from school that informed your parents about the opportunity to take lessons on a musical instrument. You could rent the instrument in the beginning and eventually buy it. For me this musical opportunity came around the sixth grade. The usual “hype” accompanied the…

I’ve just listened to Adele’s newly released album “25,” which a lot of people expect to be the bestselling album of 2015—which is the reason I listened to it, I guess, even though I don’t particularly care for Adele as a musician. The album strikes me as loud, overproduced, emotionally unsubtle, lyrically and musically repetitive,…

By Brady Crain Crystalized trees shine in the  sunlight at the top of Killington Sunday morning. They stand in contrast to the hazy clouds in the distance. The resort reopened Nov. 15. I want to apologize for my meandering nature reflected in my past few articles. Without any skiing to do, and with practicing short…

“My own personal theory is that Joseph built the pyramids in order to store grain. Now all the archaeologists think that they were made for the pharaohs’ graves. But, you know, it would have to be something awfully big—when you stop and think about it, and I don’t think it’d just disappear over the course…

By Dom Cioffi After the devastation and destruction of World War II, Europe had to rebuild both its economy and its infrastructure. This rebuilding would take time, resources and an immense amount of creativity given the task at hand. One person who was up to the job was Villum Kann Rasmussen, a Danish entrepreneur and…

By Dom Cioffi I received two premiere tickets to see an NFL game this past weekend. They were given to me free of charge along with an incredibly convenient parking pass located right next to the stadium. The plan was to take my son and meet up with other friends and their kids who were…
