OUR READERS’ LETTERS ...looking for LaBadies...

Back in the 1960s we bought a house and contents on what is now Old Mill Road in East Arlington. It was sold for taxes and had belonged to Walter LaBadie who died in Bennington shortly afterward. One of the few items we removed from the house before it was leveled was a family photo album that has, only now, resurfaced in our attic. It is full of snapshots of proud parents holding babies, old folks posing on the back porch, children watching the cows, etc. Among the names written on some of the pictures are: Charlotte, baby Patty, Betty, Judy, Marie LaBadie, Bertie, Hazel, Aunt Helen, and Ann. Most are unlabeled. There are two tintypes in poor condition and some newspaper photos and stories that do not mention a LaBadie by name. We regret that it has taken us so long to look for the right hands to put this family memoir in. If you or anyone you know has a LaBadie connection, please call us at 802-375-6934. If we’re not home please leave your name

and phone number and we’ll return your call with thanks. — Barbara and Tom Weakley Arlington, Vermont

...do you remember John and Miriam (Pritchard) Roberts?...

I, Janice Edwards, am reaching out to people who grew up in South Poultney, Vermont in the early 1900s through the 1960s, others who graduated in the Poultney High School class of 1942 (or thereabouts) or lived in the Poultney community in those years until 1970. The reason I am doing this is because I am looking for people who remember the John W. and Miriam (Pritchard) Roberts family who lived in the South Poultney community with their only son, John Arthur Roberts who graduated in the 1942 Poultney High School class. In the 1960s/70s, John “Jack” and Miriam lived in the West Poultney community in an apartment on Main Street. Jack worked in the area slate quarries and the family was active in the Welsh Presbyterian

Church. John Arthur was active in his high school years in sports programs and the drama club. Father and son both were U.S. military veterans, John W. of World War I and John Arthur of World War II. I would appreciate hearing from you if you knew this family. The reason I am asking is because the niece of John W. Roberts and cousin of John Arthur Roberts and her husband who live across the big pond in North Wales in the United Kingdom are making their firstever trip to New England — to Poultney — the first weekend in October, 2010. John W. and Miriam both passed on many years ago and John Arthur settled in the United States far from Vermont, but John W.’s niece is coming to spend several days in the Poultney community over that weekend to visit their gravesites, to walk the streets of the community in which they lived and hoping dearly to meet people who remember their family and will share of their memories. One Poultney person, cousin to John Arthur through Miriam’s family, who resides near Albany, New York, has been contacted and these Welsh visitors will be staying in Poultney with another

Please be in touch if you have memories of John Arthur Roberts or of his parents, John W. and Miriam (Pritchard) Roberts, that you’d be willing to share with these visitors — and if you can meet briefly with these Wales visitors, that will make a tremendous Slate Valley memory for the couple.

...ﬁreworks...

Parades and fireworks shows don’t just happen on their own. Needless to say, it takes many people behind the scenes to get it all together. It was a beautiful night at Magic Mt. for the fireworks show, with over 2,000 in attendance. I want to thank all at Magic who helped and for letting us be at such a beautiful place to watch. Thanks to all the people who donated for the $7,000 show. I know money is tight this year and every large or small donation was gratefully appreciated. I hope to continue this tradiation as long as we can continue to raise the necessary funds. The parade was a great sucess with cows, clowns, bagpippers, and floats lining the little streets of Londonderry. I want to give a special thanks to Jane and Kathy Williams for their hard work walking the street to collect money for parade and fireworks. It was a wonderful July 4 in Londonderry, Vermont! Thank you everyone who participated! Special thanks to David Hoopes and traffic control. — Susie Wyman, Londonderry, Vermont July 28, 2010

...concrete action...

I am pleased that our lawmakers are finally taking concrete action toward the management of Vermont Yankee. I do question why it has taken them so long. A prudence examination of the operation/management of this plant and its owner was long over due. The close monitoring of Vermont Yankee and its owner, Entergy, should have begun during the planning phase, followed through the construction, startup and full operating phases of this plant. I hope that our lawmakers will also have the foresight to review the decision-making activities of our Public Service Board. Nuclear energy is a necessary component of our nation’s energy mix. Currently, there are 104 commercial nuclear generation plants in the country. There are 439 nuclear power generating stations around the world and more being built. That source of power when properly managed and overseen is a definite asset to the country. President Obama agrees, as he has encouraged expanding our nuclear energy base as well as other green sources for meeting our energy needs.

...great job...

I have had the privilege of working with Brian Dubie as a member of the Aerospace States Association, where he is the Chairman. When I first met Brian we were living in California completing the testing of a vertical take off airplane we had built for the Navy and visiting our home in Vermont as often as we could, which was not as often as we liked. We have since moved to Vermont full time. Brian is a very effective Chairman of the Aerospace States Association, (Continued on page 4) Vermont News Guide

OUR READERS’ LETTERS (Letters, cont.) which does a great job of fostering the aviation and space interests of the member states. He will make a terriﬁc Governor of Vermont. We share his vision of improving the business climate in Vermont so we can export more dairy products, maple syrup and aerospace products, such as the General Electric turbine blades made in Rutland, and stop exporting our most precious resource, which is our well-educated young people who can’t ﬁnd a job in Vermont. Vermont has a very capable and well-educated work force which could produce a much larger output of goods and services if the business climate were improved to attract the required investment in tools, facilities and research and development of new products.Increased business activity and employment will provide increased state tax revenue at reduced tax rates. This is the only practical way to close the budget gap in Vermont. We can not tax our way into full employment and prosperity. California tried that approach with disastrous results. California, we hope, will right herself eventually, but we hate to see Vermont walking down that same path to hopeless indebtedness. Brian’s vision is the path to a prosperous state with a balanced budget. — Tony duPont, President, duPont Aerospace Company, Inc.

...dedication and determination...

We were very sorry to hear that Christopher Madkour is leaving the Southern Vermont Arts Center in Manchester. We worked with and for Christopher, marketing the Arts Center, for eight years. It was thanks in large part to his hard work, dedication and determination that SVAC became the fine cultural institution that it is. Not the least of his suc-

...vision, dedication and ability...

We were very surprised and disappointed to read about Christopher Madkour’s decision to leave the Southern Vermont Arts Center. Our association with Christopher has extended well over 20 years and we have seen him expand and enhance the Arts Center and its programs. He has been an enthusiastic and dilligent director of one of the area’s finest assets and his vision, dedication and ability to achieve results will be sorely missed. As close friends of the late artist Luigi Lucioni, we have a special interest in the Lucioni Collection and in the Lucioni wing of the Wilson Museum. Christopher has secured a significant number of paintings to (Continued on page 6)

cesses was shepherding the funding and construction of the Elizabeth de C. Wilson Museum. In the years that we worked with Christopher, we were delighted by the great success and broad appeal of the Linda McCartney’s Sixties, Art from the Sixties and Seventies, Memories of World War II and many other exhibitions. The climate he fostered among his staff encouraged significant art sales even in this tough economy. The art classes he managed were a great gift to regional art students and children; the community outreach programs he instituted more than a dozen years ago will benefit school art programs as well as children and families in our area for years to come. We wish him continued success in his future endeavors and are proud to have been a part of the team he led these last years. — Debbie Peretz and Michael Hudson, Red Dot Communications

I gave this money because I saw what Christopher had accomplished and the incredible cultural potential the new facilities would have on the region. Having traveled with the Center on their international tours also strengthened my commitment to SVAC. I was sad to read of his resignation. With the professional contacts he has forged during his 22-year career and the many friends he has made, my daughter Anna and I know that great opportunities await. My friends and I are most excited in supporting his next endeavors. Barbara Riley, Dorset, Vermont ________________________________________________

Meals on Wheels

For over 35 years my family and I would drive from New York City to Dorset where we had our second home. Many times we would drived past the Southern Vermont Arts Center without much interest in visiting it. Then, in the late 80s, I remember when I went to see the Andy Warhol show at Yester House. I was so impressed that this small institution was hosting a show by such an “edgy” artist, by Manchester standards. The show was fantastic! For the next ten years we would visit the Center when our time permitted. Then, in 1998 I was approached by a few members of the Board and Director Christopher Madkour to help fund the Capital Campaign for a new Museum and Art Studios. A month after my luncheon at the Center, I pledged $1 million dol-

FROM MY CORNER — by Susan J. Coons ...greatness... All of us are the sum of our experiences and how we react to what life throws in our direction. We are unaware, as we live minute to minute, that at any given moment in time one of us will be called to greatness. For example, two men who pulled a young boy from a burning car; someone jumping into a river to save someone from drowning; an employee with a conscience who becomes a whistle-blower and loses his/her job. Today I’m thinking about Shirley Sherrod. She witnessed great tragedy as a young child. The day after a cross was burned in her family’s front yard, her father was murdered by a white Klansman who was never brought to trial. Her mother delivered a son only a month later and raised Shirley and her siblings without their father. Rather than allowing those experiences turn her heart to hate, Shirley realized that poverty is the same for people of every race and culture. She has helped hundreds of poor farmers in the south, both black and white, save their farms and help their families as Director of Rural Development in Georgia. She has shown all of us the real meaning of the word “grace” when she was faced with character assassination on the Internet, received hate e-mails, and was then forced to resign from her position with no real explanation. A day later and after the Internet blog was found to be a lie she received an apology from Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack, and finally a telephone conversation with President Obama. This quiet, kind grandmother has demonstrated the true meaning of “grace under fire” after a small-minded blogger tried to bring her down. Goodness triumphed. Shirley is the kind of July 28, 2010

person we all can learn from and should aspire to emulate. I love a story with a happy ending! Shirley is my hero!

Maple Street School Seeks Presenters for Southern Vermont Educator’s Symposium

On Thursday, October 21, Maple Street School will host the second annual Southern Vermont Educator’s Symposium. Symposium organizer, Joy Stewart is hoping that current teachers and professors, professionals, and retirees as well as students in area college education programs will take advantage of this local, one-day event either as a presenter or attendee. The theme for this year’s symposium is focused on the idea of “Backwards by Design.” Backwards by design begins with the end in mind: “What enduring understandings do I want my students to develop?” This model centers on the idea that the design process should begin with identifying the desired results and then “working backwards” to develop instruction. This model has three stages: Identifying desired outcomes; determining what constitutes acceptable evidence of competency in the outcomes and results; and planning instructional strategies and learning experiences that bring students to these competency levels. This instructional design method was invented by Grant Wiggins and Jay McTighe and is part of their larger Understanding by Design framework. Last year, presenters included educators, superintendants, and community members from Maple Street School, Long Trail, Burr & Burton, Mountain School at Winhall, Arlington Memorial High School, Mt. Anthony Middle and High Schools, Merck Forrest, and Rosie’s Girls. For further information about presenting or attending at the event, visit: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=136496396384863; or contact Joy Stewart at Maple Street School at 362-7137 or jstewart@ maplestreetschool.com. 16

‘Hope’ For Change, a Community Service to Londonderry

Over the past several days a transformation has taken place that will change the landscape of Londonderry, as the old Grange building on Route 11 — just east of the blinking light and across the bridge — receives a badly-needed coat of paint. Originally built as a store over a century ago, it served for decades as the home of the Londonderry Grange, a center of community activity. After the mid-fifties, when other pursuits replaced interest in the Grange, the building stood empty and neglected, becoming a village eyesore. Thanks to the combined efforts of owner Steve Paulson, the Town of Londonderry and the help of 35 amazing young people from the Hope Community Church of King of Prussia, PA, the venerable old building is finding new life as the studio/gallery for a dozen or so local artists known as the Art League of Londonderry (ALL). Hosted by the First Baptist Church of South Londonderry, the youth group and their dedicated adult volunteer counselors are here for two back-to-back, week-long service trips to lend a much-needed hand to individuals and community organizations as part of the Hope Church Student Ministries. Each of the kids has earned a sought-after place in the summer service group by participating in a series of projects at home. According to Tim Desilets and his wife Mandy, Director of Student Ministries and Youth Pastor of Hope Community Church respectively, the goal is to give teenagers an intense experience of service, worship and Christian community. They take them out of their comfort zone to find a wider view of life, to show them that the world is bigger and more diverse than they could have imagined, and that by giving of their time and effort they can effect change and make a real difference in the lives of others. The Hope Community Church youth services program began several years ago with a trip to Juarez, Mexico, and it has increased in scope as the experience was repeated in different locations. They have visited rural towns in several states; this is their second year in the Londonderry area. Having grown up in Vermont (Mandy is the daughter of Bev and Randy Foster, her grandmother is Ada Pearson of South Derry), the Desilets are well-acquainted with the needs and resources of this community, and have the contacts here to help them find worthy projects that are appropriate for their kids. When you’re in Londonderry this week look for the kids in the bright red T-shirts with LOVE printed on the front and be sure to tell them how much we all appreciate their hard work.

July 28, 2010

The year was 1951 — before rock and roll and FM radio. It was a time when country music was king and songs like “Cold, Cold Heart” and “Hey, Good Lookin’” filled the airwaves. Relive that colorful time on Friday, August 6, as the Southern Vermont Arts Center presents “Hankerin’ 4 Hank: The Music of Hank Williams, Sr.” The event is part of SVAC’s Summer Performance Series: From Jazz to Country at the historic Arkell Pavilion on the SVAC Campus. Hankerin’ 4 Hank delivers the authentic sound of country music legend Hank Williams and his Drifting Cowboys, complete with the doghouse bass and honky-tonk guitar and steel that so much defined the music of that era. All instruments and clothing are authentic — right down to the Manuel suit and Martin guitar. The band includes musicians Jim Paul Blair, Virgil Bonham, Clifford Parrett, Cory Wyatt, Mickey Flatt and Dana Hazzard. They will reprise such favorites as “I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry,” “I Saw the Light” and “Cold, Cold Heart.” Hank Williams is generally regarded as the greatest country singer-songwriter of all time. His beautiful, witty, and often heartbreaking songs are a huge part of the groundwork for American country, blues, and rock and roll as it developed in the early 1950s and on. His southern charm, sense of humor, and honest voice drew listeners to him like a magnet. General admission tickets for the “Hankerin’ 4 Hank” performance are just $15 and may be purchased by calling the SVAC Box Office at (\802-362-2522. July 28, 2010

Box office hours are Wednesday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. The Southern Vermont Arts Center is located on West Road in Manchester, Vermont. The Southern Vermont Arts Center (www.svac.org) is a nonprofit educational institution whose mission is to make the visual and performing arts an

integral part of the life of the community and region. The Galleries of Yester House and the Elizabeth de C. Wilson Museum will be open prior to all performances at the Arkell Pavilion. Patrons are invited to picnic on the grounds, or enjoy dinner in Yester House at Café Mamie (reservations suggested).

BOOK REVIEW

— Reviewed by Mark Via

The Unwanted Sound of Everything We Want Garret Keizer PublicAffairs What does a man who lives in the relative isolation of northeastern Vermont know about noise? Quite a bit, it turns out, judging from Garret Keizer’s latest book, “The Unwanted Sound of Everything We Want.” And more than enough for this cerebral and thought-provoking work to captivate our attention and force us to consider anew this age-old and ever-present phenomenon. Keizer, a public intellectual whose essays appear in magazines such as Harper’s and The New Yorker, is the author of previous book-length disquisitions on help and anger. He likes to examine big issues like power and justice by dissecting ostensibly narrow topics, but his scalpel cuts deep, exposing previously unseen layers of his subject. Noise, his latest bête noire, is an appropriate gateway, because it can be looked at from so many angles — scientific, medical, historical, cultural, political, philosophical, and the list goes on — and is the wedge dividing the right to be heard and the right to peace and quiet. Noise issues are complex, with objective and subjective components, but “between the rights of a man with a vibrating pool pump and a woman with a sleeping baby, I will always rule for the

��

woman and the baby,” Keizer writes, and he’s off and running. Like a muckraking crusader of old, Keizer ferrets out society’s ills and is a champion of the powerless. He provides ample evidence that noise is harmful, a cause of hearing loss, tinnitus, sleep deprivation, and stress. The effects of noise have been correlated with mental illness, and noisy schools can hinder students’ ability to learn. And the din, he demonstrates convincingly, is disproportionately created by the strong, to the detriment of the socially and politically weak, including the poor, laborers, soldiers, the elderly, and children. Keizer travels and inquires widely, cautioning that his subject defies linear narrative and neat structure. This allows him to inject many telling details, such as that the oldest known book, The Epic of Gilgamesh, features the earliest documented noise dispute. Also unexpected, and troubling on multiple levels, is the fact that the loud music sometimes used by interrogators to break down imprisoned terrorism suspects has included, in addition to the predictable hip-hop and heavy metal, Barney the Purple Dinosaur’s “I Love You.” Keizer explores the loudness that is inherent in our culture, including the acoustical muscle of “thrillcraft” and the amplified rumble of the Sturgis motorcycle rally — “America means exceeding the limits, cranking it up, letting her rip” — and the link between appreciating the value of silence and enjoying a sustainable future (think “lighter footstep” rather than “smaller carbon footprint”). But even sustainability has its pitfalls, he finds, since the turbines that produce a significant form of renewable energy, wind power, also produce a disruptive, audible vibration. In response to those who insist that noise is revolutionary, an integral part of shaking up the status quo and effecting sociopolitical change, the author offers up the counterexample of Rosa Parks, whose quiet refusal to move to the back of the bus was “defiant not only of racism but of an entire culture’s brash assumptions about what counts, who matters, and how best to rock the world.” Anyone interested in expanding their perspective about this often overlooked aural invader is advised to find a quiet spot and read Keiser’s book. Mark Via is a freelance writer in Weston.

Everyone is talking “green.” Everyone is striving to know what “sustainability” is all about. Internationally recognized “green” building expert and president of the Integrative Design Collaborative, Bill Reed will be giving a free lecture on the subject of constructing “green” buildings and discovering a working philosophy of “sustainability,” on Wednesday evening, July 28 at 7:00 p.m. in the comfortable confines of the newly remodeled Calfee Barn, just off Route 30 in Rupert. Mr. Reed’s lecture will allow for a question-and-answer session followed by refreshments (keeping with the theme of stewardship, we encourage all to bring their own drinking cup). The event is sponsored by the Interfaith Council of the Northshire. Bill Reed has served as co-chair of the LEED Technical Committee and is a member of the LEED Advanced faculty. He was a founding member of the Green Building Council and served on the national executive committee of the AIA Committee on the Environment. He currently serves on the Board of the Northeast Sustainable Energy Association as an advisor to Environmental Building News. He has participated in over 200 presentations and workshops relating to sustainable and regenerative design, and is known for his friendly demeanor and insightful world-view. This program is open to the entire community, but geared especially for professional builders, those interested in sustainable living, and anyone wishing to participate in the environmental revolution that is captivating America. Mr. Reed offers his lecture as the adult education component to the Interfaith Council’s popular Faith and Nature Camp which gives approximately 65 area youngsters a week-long day camp on environmental stewardship, dovetailing faith-based insight with environmental science. The children experience the glories of the great outdoors while learning through hands-on education. Faith and Nature Camp has had such a wonderful eight-year history that the coordinators decided to offer an adult-education piece called, S’mores Education, and we look forward to Bill Reed’s lecture with great anticipation. For directions to this free event, or for more information, call the Dorset Church at 867-2260 July 28, 2010

The Mark Skinner Library Board of Trustees welcomes MaryBeth O’Donnell to its ranks. “We are very fortunate that MaryBeth has agreed to serve Manchester ’s public library. She brings a history of community service and boundless enthusiasm to the position,” stated MSL Board President, Pauline Architas Moore. O’Donnell was a high school history teacher in New York City and served as an Assistant Director of Undergraduate Admissions at Columbia University . She is currently a stay at home mother and notes, “it is easily the most rewarding and challenging job of my life and my greatest accomplishment.” While living in Scarsdale, New York, O’Donnell chaired several committees in the Junior League. “Our mission was to improve the lives of women and children in our service area,” informed O’Donnell. “Our literacy programs were one of the cornerstones of our service to the community.” O’Donnell also served on the Board of Governors of Scarsdale Golf Club and chaired several of the club’s committees. O’Donnell moved with her husband and four children to Manchester last year. “My husband’s parents have lived in Peru for almost 20 years and we have been coming to Vermont our whole lives. With one year under our belts, it is time to start giving back to the community.” O’Donnell joined the board of the Friends of Manchester Elementary and Middle School and is now ready to serve Manchester ’s public library. “I could not be happier to be joining the board of the library,” stated O’Donnell. “From my experience as a mother, a volunteer, and working in secondary and higher education, I have seen the power that books have on people and children in particular. Reading is a gateway to new worlds, ideas and possibilities.” One of O’Donnell’s favorite quotes is by Lady Bird Johnson — “Perhaps no place in any community is so totally democratic as a town library. The only entrance requirement is interest.” “I hope to draw inspiration and direction from that message during my tenure on the Mark Skinner Library Board.” The Mark Skinner Library Board of Trustees meets the first Tuesday of every month at 5:30 p.m. The public is invited to attend.

Noted Vermont Sculptor Donates Bronze Sculpture to Dorset Library

The Dorset Public Library is deeply grateful to have recently received the generous gift of a large bronze sculpture titled “Crossing” from the renowned artist, Jane Armstrong, who has been a resident of Dorset and Manchester for many years. Armstrong’s works include nature-based human forms and abstract works in stone, exotic woods, bronze and a cast stone medium. Jane B. Armstrong began sculpting at the age of 42 after enjoying a successful career as a teacher and journalist. During that career she was only the third woman in New York City to have byline articles in scientific and business publications. With her sculpture, she quickly became an artist of note, receiving national recognition and acclaim. Jane was repeatedly awarded Medals of Honor in the field of sculpture by the National Artists Club, The Audubon Society, The National Sculpture Society, The Knickerbocker Artists of New York, The Allied Artists of America and others. In 2004, The National Sculpture Society honored Jane Armstrong at the Century Club in New York City for “the entire body of her work” as a sculptor. Currently, Armstrong has over 600 sculptures in museums, universities and various private collections across the United States and in Europe. All of her works bear her initials, “JBA.” She has also been featured in sculpture magazines throughout her career, has authored a book, and was included in the definitive Masterworks of American Sculpture 1875-1999, published by the Fleischer Museum in Scottsdale, Arizona. In addition to participating in group shows, Armstrong organized many solo exhibitions of her works and encouraged attendees to use their sense of touch to experience the sculptures fully. Those events were always a great success, especially for unsighted visitors to the exhibitions. Unfortunately, Jane’s prolific career was brought to an end by her own failing eyesight, but her wish is that her sculptures should continue to be enjoyed by all. To that end, she is gifting selected works to public non-profit institutions such as the Dorset Library where the public may enjoy them for years to come. The Library is deeply appreciative of her gift, and encourages visitors to come in to see (and touch) the sculpture for themselves. July 28, 2010

VADA and Green Mountain Antiques Shows Unite 60 Dealer Show The Vermont Antiques Dealers’ Association has joined forces with the Green Mountain Antiques Show and will move from Manchester Center, Vermont to the Union Arena Community Center in Woodstock, Vermont on July 31 and August 1. Each show will contribute its individual strengths to create a strong and vibrant single show held at a time when attendance and interest in antiques are at their peak in Vermont. The Green Mountain Antiques Show had been in existence for twelve years under the management of James and Elizabeth Dunn, Bob and Mary Fraser, John and Nancy Stahura and Peter and Mary Pill. The time was right for a change and we wanted to place the show in capable hands while it was at its peak. Our first choice was VADA. They accepted our proposal and the rest, as they say, is history. VADA has always been a showcase for its membership from the very first show at the Park-McCullough House in Bennington to the 35th show that was held last year in Manchester Center. The VADA Show Committee will be responsible for managing the 36th Annual Show but the footprint (time, location and welcoming atmosphere) will be that of the Green Mountain Show. Since over half of the Green Mountain dealers are VADA members, expect to find many familiar names on the dealer list. The show will continue to be a walled show with 60 dealers exhibiting in room settings. The motto remains “The Best Antiques Vermont has to Offer.” Union Arena is located on Route 4 just 1.5 miles west of the Woodstock Green. Show dates are Saturday, July 31 (10-5) and Sunday, August 1 (10-4). For more information call John and Nancy Stahura at 802-484-5942 or check VADA’s Web site www.vermontada.com.

SUMMER 2010 CONCERT SERIES

‘Damn Yankees’ Set to be Home Run on Weston Stage

��

“Damn Yankees,” the musical comedy that was a smash in its original 1955 production and again in the 1994 Broadway revival, hits the Weston Playhouse Theatre Company MainStage from August 5 through 21.The original Broadway production won seven Tony Awards. Set during the 1950s in Washington, D.C., the musical is based on Douglass Wallop’s novel,“The Year the Yankees Lost the Pennant.” In a Faustian bargain, middle-aged baseball fan Joe Boyd sells himself to the Devil – and to the machinations of a temptress named Lola – in order to see his favorite team win the pennant. Filled with song and dance hits like “Heart,” “Shoeless Joe from Hannibal, Mo” and “Whatever Lola Wants,” “Damn Yankees” will be directed by WPTC Producing Director Malcolm Ewen, Munson Hicks, Brandy Zarle, Allen Kendall, Thursday Farrar, Dorothy Stanley, Marcus Neville, and Weston newcomer and Broadway veteran Nadine Isenegger. Reservations for “Damn Yankees,” the popular after-show Act IV Cabaret revue, and dinner at the Playhouse’s Cafe at the Falls restaurant may be made at the Playhouse box office window, by calling 802-8245288, or by visiting westonplayhouse.org.

‘110 in the Shade, The Rainmaker Musical’

The heat is still on this weekend as “110 in the Shade“ ends its two-week run on the Mainstage at Fort Salem Theater, with shows Friday and Saturday, July 30 and August 1, at 8 p.m. and Sunday at 2 p.m.. Aupperlee, formerly an artistic director at the Dorset Theatre Festival, considers it an honor to be surrounded by such a great cast. “These are all very talented performers.” He directed “A Christmas Carol: A New Musical,” and has brought back Gordon Hazzard, his Scrooge, to play HC Curry, the patriarch of a ranch family. Each character changes during the play. Sheriff File, played by John Heinis, “has a difficult transformation because he needs to get over himself. Many of us can be our own worst enemy and stand in the way of our happiness,” Aupperlee stated. “Starbuck is the catalyst who challenges the status quo and allows for the everyone’s transformations to occur. Including his own.” “110 in the Shade” continues at Fort Salem Theater, 11 East Broadway, Salem, NY July 30 through August 1. For reservations call 518-8549200.
