The Women of Lockerbie
Yoh Theatre Players
Woodstock Middle High School
The final Yoh Theatre Players performance of the year was this past weekend, The Women of Lockerbie by Deborah Brevoort.
The plays tells the story of a mother from New Jersey searching for any remains of her son who was killed in the terrorist bombing of Pan Am 103.
From the Arlington National Cemetery website:"On December 21, 1988, Flight 103 was en route from Frankfurt, Germany to New York via London's Heathrow Airport. At 7:02 p.m., 27 minutes after leaving London, the plane exploded, raining fragments on the city of Lockerbie.
Eleven of the 270 dead were on the ground. The 259 passengers and crew included citizens of 21 countries. Among them were 190 Americans, including 15 active duty military personnel and 10 veterans."
In 1993, a memorial cairn was dedicated by then President Bill Clinton. The memorial cairn was built using stone from a quarry near Lockerbie and looks very similar to the cairn at Culloden, outside Inverness, Scotland.
From one of our visits to Scotland.
Weathersfield's own Kamron Yuengling played the New Jersey mother searching for her child's remains, who meets the women of Lockerbie.
The women, who witnessed the horrible carnage during and after the bombing and even lost loved ones of their own, are fighting the US Government to obtain the clothing of the victims found in the plane’s wreckage.
They hold regular candlelight vigils in the Scottish hills.
They are determined to convert an act of hatred into an act of love, the women want to wash the clothes of the dead and return them to the victim’s families.

Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes
Tupelo Music Hall, Derry NH
Road trip to Derry, NH to see a band we've been following since the 80s. Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes.
I first saw Southside at the Fine Arts Center at UMASS-Amherst and I was hooked!
The band put on a great show and looked like they were really having a fun time on stage.

Anniversary May 5-Ben & Jerry’s opens its first ice cream shop
On May 5, 1978, area residents line up outside a renovated gas station in Burlington, Vermont, for the grand opening of Ben & Jerry’s Homemade. Opened by childhood friends Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield, the store sells soups, crêpes and pottery, but it is their homemade ice cream, made with locally sourced cream and butterfat and flavorful chunks of nuts, cookies, fruit and candy, that become the main attraction.Ben & Jerry’s ice cream would go on to become a worldwide phenomenon, expanding the market for super premium ice cream made with natural ingredients and extra butterfat. Häagen-Dazs had already carved out a significant niche in this market, but Ben & Jerry’s brought renewed attention, attracting customers with its folksy image, fun mix of ingredients and imaginative flavor names like Chubby Hubby, Cherry Garcia and Wavy Gravy.
The ice cream’s origins can be traced back to a seventh-grade gym class in Merrick, Long Island in 1963, where Cohen and Greenfield became fast friends. By the time they were in their 20s, they were brainstorming business ideas. After scrapping a plan to open a bagel shop (the equipment was too expensive), Cohen and Greenfield decided to take a $5 correspondence course on ice cream making at the Pennsylvania State University’s Creamery. They then each invested $4,000 and took out a bank loan for another $4,000 to open the Burlington store.
Less than two years later, the duo started selling pints of ice cream in grocery stores. While many of the original flavors have not survived (retired flavors are buried in the Ben & Jerry’s Flavor Graveyard), many new ones followed, including Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough in 1984, the company’s most popular flavor worldwide.
As much as Ben & Jerry’s became known for its ice cream, it also became known for its activism. The company supports a number of issues, including sustainability, racial equity and social and environmental justice.
And when the company agreed to be bought by consumer giant Unilever for a reported $326 million in 2000,there were caveats to the deal, including the appointment of an independent board of directors to protect Ben & Jerry’s “brand equity and integrity.”
Another Ben & Jerry’s tradition that was preserved: Free Cone Day. Every spring, Ben & Jerry’s celebrates the anniversary of its first store opening by serving up roughly 1 million free scoops (Sorry folks it was April 16th!).

HANOVER — Dartmouth College administrators acted swiftly on Wednesday night when faced with a protest encampment similar to those established on campuses around the country amid unrest over the Israel-Hamas war.
At some colleges, demonstrations have stretched for days and devolved into violence and vandalism. In Hanover, an aggressive law enforcement response quickly wiped out the efforts at activism that college officials say ran afoul of rules against demonstrations.
Within two hours of a handful of tents being erected on the Dartmouth Green, authorities began the long process of arresting scores of peaceful protesters who did not comply with repeated warnings to disperse.
“Once tents were erected, Dartmouth Safety & Security made multiple announcements to participants that they must disperse, and they refused,” Hanover Police Chief Charlie Dennis said in a brief statement on Thursday morning. “Hanover Police along with the New Hampshire State Police made multiple announcements to disperse and while some chose to leave, many stayed.”

This story, by Report for America corps member Carly Berlin, was produced through a partnership between VTDigger and Vermont Public.
After a flurry of last-minute deliberations, the Vermont Senate passed a mammoth bill on Friday afternoon that makes sweeping reforms to the state’s land use and housing policies.
The bill, H.687, relaxes the reach of Act 250 – Vermont’s half-century-old land use review law – in existing development centers, a move proponents hope will clear red tape and encourage more housing growth amid an acute housing shortage. It also lays the groundwork for extending Act 250’s protections over to-be-determined ecologically sensitive areas.
The bill’s passage marks a major juncture for legislators, who for years have attempted – and failed – to thread the needle on modernizing Act 250. Proponents of H.687 argue it strikes the right balance between protecting Vermont’s natural resources in an era of climate change while also lowering barriers to more housing development.
“I hope that we can all look ahead and celebrate both the places that we’ve allowed to further thrive, the people that we’ve allowed to live here,” said Sen. Kesha Ram Hinsdale, D/P-Chittenden Southeast, before voting in favor of the bill late Friday. “And also the places that we love and care about, that we get to still gaze upon and celebrate. And that’s truly what makes us Vermont.”

Vermont Senate passes Act 250 reform bill after whirlwind debate

Killington is the East’s largest ski resort. A developer wants to expand on that in a big way.
Great Gulf of Canada is proposing a new slopeside village as part of a larger plan to bring up to 2,300 housing units and $3 billion in capital investment to the area in the next 25 years.
By Kevin O'Connor
Michael Sneyd may work in a tall office tower in Canada’s most populous city of Toronto, but he’d rather talk up the even bigger slopes of this small town in Vermont.
“Killington has long been known as the largest ski mountain in the East,” he began a recent video call, with “the best snowmaking in the East, and now arguably the best lodges in the East.”
Sneyd, head of the Great Gulf real estate group’s resort residential division, believes this community of 1,407 people — who host an eye-popping 1 million tourist visits annually — lacks only one thing: a retail and residential center like those at the state’s No. 2 through 5 ski areas at Stratton, Sugarbush, Smugglers’ Notch and Stowe.
That’s why the businessman who has appeared on television’s “Undercover Boss Canada” is heading an effort to build a 450-acre commercial and condominium village at the base of the Killington Resort — part of a larger proposed $3 billion capital investment in the next 25 years.
“It’s a one-of-a-kind master plan with four-season potential,” said Sneyd, who has spent much time in Vermont in recent months.
The first phase centers on a new lift lodge designed by the international architecture firm of Moshe Safdie — whose work ranges from Montreal’s Habitat 67 World’s Fair housing complex to Singapore’s Marina Bay Sands resort — plus some 32,000 square feet of commercial space, 193 condominiums and 32 single-family homes.
In a plan submitted to the state, subsequent stages of the project could add up to 2,300 housing units over the next two to three decades, along with an estimated 1,000 construction jobs and 1,200 permanent jobs.
