Thanks for your help with the rabies clinic

Dear Editor,

Thank you to all the wonderful volunteers that were going to help with Vermont Volunteer Services for Animals Humane Society’s “Drive Up & Poke!” Rabies Clinic. We couldn’t win a fight with Mother Nature, so we’ve postponed the clinic to April 1, 12:30-2 p.m., WUHS Parking Lot. $13 per vaccination.  Drive ups are welcome! 

Thanks to  Philippa Richards, Kedron Valley Vet Clinic, several people at the Woodstock High School, the Woodstock Recreation Dept., the Woodstock Police Dept, the towns of Woodstock and Bridgewater, the Vermont Standard, and the Mountain Times for your help!

If you’re in need of help with help with the spay/neuter of your cats or dogs, VVSA HS administers VSNIP, (the VT Spay Neuter Incentive Program) under DCF/VT Economic Services. Qualified Vermonters can have their animals neutered for $27, fellow Vermonters pay the balance of the bill with the licensing of dogs.

Sue Skaskiw,

Bridgewater

Open Primaries: Free andfair elections?

July 24, 2024
Dear Editor, I don’t know where the idea of open primaries came from or the history of how they began in Vermont. I was originally from Connecticut and when you registered to vote you had to declare your party affiliation. Only if you were registered in a political party, could you take part in that…

The arc of agingand leadership

July 24, 2024
By Bill Schubart Like a good novel, our lives have a narrative arc, during which we are actively participating in and relevant to our world. We are born, rise slowly into sensual consciousness and gradually process what we see and feel. Our juvenile perceptions gradually become knowledge, and, if all goes well, that knowledge binds…
