I came to Lucy Mackenzie after my last home was not a perfect match for me . I’m kind of a complicated cat at heart, but in a good way. Sometimes I like to be pet (though certainly not held), and other times I like to be alone. I probably shouldn’t live in a home with younger children or other cats, but I might do well with a big- or medium-sized dog. This pet is available for adoption at Lucy Mackenzie Humane Society 4832 VT-44, Windsor, VT • (802) 484-5829 *(By appointment only at this time.)

Newly planted trees help keep local rivers and businesses healthy POMFRET—This week the Connecticut River Conservancy (CRC) announced that 6,412 native trees and shrubs have been planted along 12,500 feet of riverfront land on 10 different rivers in Vermont and New Hampshire this spring. The plantings, which are all on privately owned land, will help reduce erosion, improve clean water, and increase fish and wildlife habitat in the Connecticut River watershed. In addition, these spring plantings have helped local businesses in these difficult times – including the Intervale Conservation Nursery, New England Wetland Plants, NorthWoods Stewardship Center, and Redstart Natural Resource Management – by injecting $60,000 into the local communities. “We are so glad for this opportunity to get back out into the field after being cooped up for so long,” said Meghann Carter, conservation science director at NWSC. “NorthWoods is proud to work alongside the Connecticut River Conservancy to help our local rivers.” The plantings were done in accordance with each state’s guidance on outdoor work as well as newly adopted health and safety guidelines for the planting crews. Ben Machin, a partner at Redstart, noted that “we greatly appreciate the chance to work with CRC to get these important restoration projects completed. Nothing expresses hopefulness like planting trees and shrubs in the spring.” CRC and these partners planted the trees and shrubs Submitted Redstart crew planting Intervale trees at the Strafford Village Farm, Vermont. Submitted in Haverhill, New Hampshire, on Clark Brook; and in Vermont on Crosby Brook in Dummerston, Saxtons River in Grafton, Carly Brook in Springfield, the Black River in Weathersfield, Bloody Brook in Norwich, the Connecticut River in Bradford, Ompompanoosuc West Branch in Strafford and Thetford, and Stevens River in Barnet. CRC is doing its part to help local economies recover by accelerating work on the many restoration projects they have identified over the last several years. With the right kind of stimulus funding CRC can remove eight more dams and do more than 50 other restoration projects in the next 24 months. These projects will funnel millions of dollars of stimulus funding to local engineering firms, nurseries, construction companies, planting crews and more. Since Tropical Storm Irene ravaged the watershed in 2011, CRC has planted more than 47,660 native trees and shrubs along rivers in the fourstate Connecticut River basin (New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts and Connecticut). CRC collaborates with partners across four states to protect and advocate for our rivers, to educate and engage communities. CRC brings people together to prevent pollution, improve habitat, and promote enjoyment of rivers and their tributary streams. Healthy rivers support healthy economies.

The Mountain Times • May 20-26, 2020 MOTHER OF THE SKYE • 23 Aries March 21 - April 20 So much hinges on the need to lose your fixed ideas about what needs to happen next. All of your pictures are based on notions that come from past life experiences of having everything work out like a fairy tale. It isn’t what you need this time. Notice what happens when you make recognition too important. Needing all of the light to shine on you, and wanting to suck up and bask in that warmth is your Achilles Heel. Try to figure out how to let the light flow through you. Everything works out better when you let it pour out and enrich and enlighten other people’s lives. Taurus April 21 - May 20 The weight of things leads you to believe that you’re going under. This is what happens when we’re plowing through the wreckage; we get so overwhelmed it’s easy to forget that the universe is supporting us. Tough decisions that have left you feeling like you should have done things differently, were not in error. It takes time for things like this to reveal their true purpose, so ease up; you did the right thing. Lesser beings are bound to be rattling your cage. Let their slings and arrow roll off your back, and remind yourself that all of this is clearing the path to a better tomorrow. Gemini May 21 - June 20 It’s mind-blowing to see how you manage to always come out on top. As the prospect of more intense forms of interference looms on the horizon, you’d do well to stay one step ahead of the game. Chances are you’ve already sharpened your sword and your wits and are well aware of the odds that are stacked against you. Play your cards closer to your chest. Don’t broadcast your feelings or fall apart at the seams. It’ll take three more months for what’s blowing in the wind right now to be replaced by what you conjure up in the meantime. Fortify the inner stuff and keep the light on. Cancer June 21 - July 20 The codependent urge is huge with you guys. Having just released yourself from playing that role in one situation, you have gone from the frying pan to the fire. Be aware of the fact that over and over again, the same old thing will show up in different clothing to remind us that we have more work to do. Keep an eye on the dynamics in all of your relationships. The need to please, combined with the belief that whoever you’re attached to knows more about things than you do, is your downfall. It’s time to stop the madness and get in touch with who you are and what you want. Leo July 21 - August 20 You took the whole hog and ran right over the top with something that has gone way out of control. Before the Solstice rolls around you will have the short run all figured out but the long run will suffer if you don’t back up and put on the brakes. Too much of everything, and too many nearsighted choices will send you up a creek if you aren’t willing to breathe deep and look at what it’s getting you. When things overflow the Hermetic Axiom would suggest that you’re in too far over your head to know how to stem the tide and reverse engineer some of your recent choices. Virgo August 21 - September 20 People mean well; and they appear to have your best interests in mind – but they have no idea who you really are or what you need at this point in your life. It’s time to sit them down and say “Thanks anyway,” you’ve got yourself covered. On a certain level, you’re on a totally different bandwidth than most people. With this in mind it’s ridiculous to think you can structure your life the way other people do. At the moment the more you are willing to bust out of the status quo and set a new standard for whatever it means to be you, the better it will go, all the way around. Libra September 21 - October 20 Instead of milking the past, consider the virtues of moving on to whatever’s next. If you had a better sense of your own worth you would realize that whoever lied, cheated, and/or sold you out, didn’t even deserve to talk to you. Now that they’re gone, take this as a sign that being immersed in that frequency was holding you up. Which gets me to another thing: you’ve got amazing opportunities brewing, and better things to do. Get with the program. The writing’s on the wall. It’s time to pour your heart into the sea of changes that are about to give birth to a whole new life. Scorpio October 21 - November 20 Don’t be misled by the thought that you need to remain affiliated with people and situations that make it seem as if you need them. There are times when it’s best to fly solo. If fear is what keeps you joined at the hip it’s for sure that this won’t work out. In your shoes I would consider the virtues of independence and work on the faith factor. Try putting your money where your mouth is. With big transits indicating that you’ll fall off the pier if you keep moving in the same direction, a sharp right or a sharp left will change the scenery and save you from the brink of disaster. Copyright - Cal Garrison: 2020: © Sagittarius November 21 - December 20 The gap between the inner and outer realities measures the extent to which we are separated from ourselves. At the moment having that covered is your primary concern. Why? Because it’s so easy to fly off in opposite directions and tear yourself apart. It doesn’t matter how you decide to meet yourself in the middle. In the crosshairs of life changes that are here to determine how the rest of it goes, getting real, and eliminating every form of pretense, is where it’s at. A vision quest could be just what the doctor ordered. In lieu of that, enough time alone to gaze at the stars might do the trick. Capricorn December 21 - January 20 There is a huge amount of change bubbling up from within. Try rewinding back to the beginning of time and reflect upon what happened before life instructed you to turn yourself inside out. The person who evolved out of that has it all together; on the outside at least. You are approaching a bend in the road. There is pressure to keep your persona intact; your ego and your security trips seem to depend on this. I am here to tell you that it is totally OK to step out of those traces and reclaim yourself. It’s your choice, but trust me – it does no good to be anything but who you are. Aquarius January 21 - February 20 You have to figure out how to get around an issue or a person that isn’t going to change. To keep beating your head against the wall will drive you nuts until you remember what water can do to a rock. Pressing the issue has compressed this conflict into a stand-off. Lay back and go about your business as if none of this mattered. The truth is, whoever or whatever this is about is providing you with just enough resistance to postpone actions that you could easily come to regret. Don’t minimize their role in this. In a few months you could be eternally grateful to them for holding things up. Pisces February 21 - March 20 You want to keep things simple. It’s a good idea but don’t make the mistake of thinking that doing everything yourself is the way to go. You’re at a point where a little help would be worth whatever it costs you. For many of you this could translate as, you want to get by without needing to depend on the system or upon others whose support comes with too many strings attached. Don’t complicate everything you have on your plate with some misbegotten urge to be a super-hero, and don’t assume that others are here to take advantage of the fact that you need them. A deeper dive into the dark By Cal Garrison, a.k.a. Mother of the Skye This week’s Horoscopes are coming out under the light of an Aries Moon, on the eve of the Sun’s entrance into Gemini. By the time Wednesday rolls around, the light and airy energy that permeates the matrix when the Sun’s in the sign of the Twins will pave the way for a Gemini New Moon on Friday. Before things get too light and airy, let’s take one last dip into the deep end of the pool. A few weeks ago I mentioned a horoscope that was the most difficult chart I have ever seen. Since I brought it up I have received requests from many readers, begging me to talk about what I saw in this chart. In the last few weeks I have gotten close to 100 messages with the same request. Because there seemed to be such an interest in it, I got permission from the woman whose life this involves to share a bit of her story with you. I am including excerpts from it here, so that those of you who wrote to me wanting to know about it, can get a feel for how intense some people’s lives really are. What follows is a transcript of an email I wrote to her when she asked me to help her understand a few things. If you’re not in the mood for the hard stuff, skip on to your weekly forecast (left). “OK, where to start? Please understand that I am using the aspects to examine correspondences and draw conclusions based on how certain bodies interact. These are my interpretations – it’s what I have to work with. Nothing that I am about to write is absolute – but it is the best I can do with that I know and what I see. I will list things, and record the aspects that led me to draw each conclusion.
