Burlington Breakwater North Lighthouse, Burlington, VT, 10/28/2023. According to lighthousefriends.com, this little light and its sister light to the south were first lit in 2004 and were built based on photos of the original lights that were there in the mid to late-1800s.

Beauty in the Dark
Rachel Bissex - Topic

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=69hMlLWBCG0

At one point, Rachel Bissex was thinking of rerecording some of her early songs. She asked people on her mailing list for suggestions. I listened to her early albums and picked "Beauty in the Dark." Whether or not Rachel planned to use it, I do not know; but she expressed definite interest in the idea.

Rachel was very broadly informed about music goings-on in and around Burlington, Vermont. When I was putting out a newsletter about New England popular music, Rachel was my go-to person for northern Vermont information.

Rachel may have been best known for "Drive All Night." She is paid fond tribute on the various artists collection, "Remembering Rachel." Its cover illustration is very pretty.

SUPPORTING FIRST RESPONDERS

Bernie Sanders held a roundtable with first responders in Burlington on Monday, hoping to address their challenges and secure federal support. Topics discussed included recruitment, pay, training, and equipment. Vermont’s congressional delegation is supporting a bill that would guarantee payment for first responders, even if they do not transport someone to the hospital. Representative Becca Balint has introduced a similar bill in the House.

Source: WTSA News, Brattleboro, Tuesday, January 30, 2024.

This is an initiative that I certainly support. God knows what might have happened. I make no such claim. It is entirely possible, though, that a Golden Cross rescue team may have saved my life in May 2023.

3 people shot in #Vermont identified as #Palestinian college students

By Celina Tebor, CNN

"Three college students from the Palestinian territories were shot in #BurlingtonVermont, on Saturday evening, according to their former school in the occupied West Bank.

"Burlington Police Chief Jon Murad said in a news release that officers responded to a call and found two shooting victims, with the third a short distance away, all close to the #UniversityOfVermont campus.

"The victims were transported to the University of Vermont Medical Center, the news release said.

"The shooter or shooters have not been identified or apprehended, Murad said, and the police department is 'at the earliest stages of investigating this crime.'

"The three students had graduated from Ramallah Friends School, a #Quaker-run private nonprofit school in Ramallah, according to the school.

"The school identified the students in a Facebook post as Hisham Awartani, Kinnan Abdelhamid and Tahseen Ahmed.

"According to Ramallah Friends School, all three are students at American colleges. Haverford College in Pennsylvania confirmed in a statement that Abdelhamid, a junior at the college, is recovering from gunshot wounds at a hospital.

"Husam Zomlot, the Palestinian ambassador to the United Kingdom, posted on X about the incident, naming the students and identifying them as 'three young Palestinian men.'

"'The #HateCrimes against Palestinians must stop. Palestinians everywhere need protection,' Zomlot wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.

"Burlington police did not specify the ethnicity of the three and whether they were targeted for that reason.

"The American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee said in a news release that they 'have reason to believe this shooting occurred because the victims are Arab.' The #CivilRights organization added that two of the students are still in intensive care and one has 'very critical and serious injuries.'

"The Council on American-Islamic Relations announced it was offering a $10,000 reward for 'information leading to the arrest and conviction of the perpetrator or perpetrators' of the shooting.

"The shooting comes amid heightened tensions and hate crimes in the US in the weeks since October 7, when Hamas launched a deadly attack in Israel and Israel responded with devastating airstrikes across Gaza. In October, a 6-year-old Palestinian American boy was stabbed to death by his family’s landlord in a case authorities are calling a hate crime.

"CNN has reached out to the University of Vermont, the University of Vermont Medical Center, the students’ universities, Burlington Mayor Miro Weinberger and Gov. Phil Scott for comment.

"This is a developing story and will be updated."
