The Unknown by Riley Sager
When I first saw the title, The Unknown, I thought it was something paranormal. I found out while reading the book, it meant an unknown actress. I like the double meaning as the story unfolds.
Five women disappeared from an Island off Vermont in 1926.
In present day a film crew plans to film the story and to get the actors into character they plan to spend a week on the island living in the same cabins and wearing the same type of clothing as the missing women.
People in the area avoid the island. There are hints of it being haunted. The actors arrive not knowing everything until they arrive with no way to leave.
After a séance some creepy things happen, and the actors begin to disappear one by one.
The story is told by Marin Keane, an unknown actress who has been given her big break by this project.
The women are rivals and don’t seem to get along.
This time though there is a man. The director is on the island with them.
Over the next week, all of them learn more about each other than they probably should. This promised that sometimes people can be scarier than ghosts or demons.
No one is safe and they need to leave but have no way to do so. That is scary but not that scary. Well, I guess there is more than just that. There are some scary things that happen, but I was able to read this book in bed at night and didn’t get goosebumps or feel the need to leave the light on. So, it didn’t pass that test.
I heard once that this author takes other people’s horror stories and rewrites them with his own personal twist. I think as I was trying to figure out what to say in this review, it came to me what story it reminded me of. I won’t spoil it by telling you what I think it is.
I was looking forward to reading this one because I am in the mood for a good ghost story. This story was all over the place, but it wasn’t the experience I’d hoped for.
I am a Sager fan, and I have read a couple of his books before. I hope to eventually read all of them. This one isn’t my favorite, but I am not sorry I read it.

Will #DomesticTerrorism charges be brought against these #AntiICE #protestors?
#ICE enforcement action leads to #protest, violent clashes in #SouthBurlington, #Vermont
by Derek Brouwer, Liam Elder-Connors, Zoe McDonald, March 12, 2026
"A tense, day-long standoff outside a South Burlington, Vermont house ended Wednesday night with federal immigration agents removing three people inside and a series of violent clashes between police and hundreds of #activists who tried to impede the apprehension.
"It marked the first major confrontation between protesters and federal immigration authorities in Vermont. Federal law enforcement deployed #TearGas and #flashbangs on a normally busy street in the state’s second largest city to disperse the activists who had surrounded their vehicles. Roughly 60 local and state law enforcement officers were also on scene, though the departments sought to distance themselves from ICE’s conduct.
"The incident began when a man fled Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents who had been surveilling a Dorset Street residence where he was staying.
"According to an ICE affidavit, the subject of the warrant was Deyvi Daniel Corona-Sanchez, a Mexico native who was removed from the United States in 2022, and later illegally reentered the country. In January, Corona-Sanchez was arrested by Middlebury police and charged with drunk driving, the affidavit says.
"Following a multi-vehicle crash, Corona-Sanchez escaped to a house on Dorset Street, authorities said.
"A growing number of protesters and police assembled outside throughout the day as immigration authorities waited for a criminal warrant to enter and arrest him.
"A neighbor, Richard Landsman, said an Ecuadoran family with two children had lived in the house for roughly a year. At one point in the afternoon, people helped a child leave the house; they were driven away.
"When the warrant came through after roughly nine hours, federal agents approached the front door with #TacticalGear and weapons drawn. They were supported by #VermontStatePolice troopers.
"Police wrenched away protesters blocking the front entrance and ICE agents broke down the door. Federal agents removed three people from inside, forcing them into an unmarked car. They attempted to drive off, but protesters linked arms and blocked the street. Confrontations ensued, and the agents eventually managed to drive off by running over a median and exiting via a driveway."

Virtual Event - #NewEngland - Which #NativePlants Help #Wildlife? The Science Behind Informed Plant Selection
Thu Mar 12, 2026 6:00 PM - 7:30 PM EDT
"You’re ready to plant more native species in your garden to support wildlife. As you start to plan, you might have a few questions. Which plant species make the biggest difference? Does it matter if a plant is a cultivar? How important is local ecotype? Which plant traits attract which #pollinator?
In this talk, Desirée L. Narango, Ph.D., from the #Vermont Center for #Ecostudies, will share research that evaluates how different native plant species and characteristics influence interactions with pollinators and songbirds. Drawing from her research and that of other experts in the field, she will explore what we know (and still don’t know) about common questions in #EcologicalGardening. The talk will also highlight ways you can contribute data through community science and help improve the information available for wildlife-friendly planting decisions.
This event is co-hosted by #WildSeedProject and #MOFGA. The webinar will be recorded, and a recording will be shared with registrants within a few days of the event taking place.
Registration info: This event’s sliding scale registration is designed to keep the class as accessible as possible while also covering MOFGA’s and Wild Seed Project's costs. Recommended price for non-members is $15; recommended price for members is $10.
Scholarship funds are available to community members in order to increase program accessibility, and participants in MOFGA’s Journeyperson program are welcome to register at no-cost. You’re welcome to use the fund by checking “Scholarship/JP” at checkout. For any questions about scholarship funds, please email [email protected]."

Yet another day of lousy Air Quality Index, particulate heavy haze and Weather Alerts in Vermont resulting from the tragic ongoing wildfires to our North in Canada 🇨🇦.
Today is even hazier than yesterday, when air quality was so poor that mountaintops were blocked from many valley views. Hikers reported leaving Trails early after being beset by coughing and their hair and gear smelling of smoke following mere two hour stretches in the poor AQI.

Rare 'extreme heat warning' issued in Vermont, New York as dangerous heat settles in
by Michael Cusanelli
Jun 23, 2025BARRE, Vt. — "Several municipalities in our region have opened cooling centers as temperatures will soar close to 100 degrees this week.
"Hinesburg Emergency Management has opened a cooling center at the CVU High School Library. Guests are welcome to visit the cooling center Monday and Tuesday from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.
"The Middlebury Recreation Building on Creek Road is also open from 6:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. both Monday and Tuesday. The town poll will be open as well from 1 p.m. to 8 p.m. Monday and 1 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. Tuesday.

"In New Hampshire, Lebanon is opening several cooling areas for the general public on Monday and Tuesday. Those include the Lebanon Public Library, the Kilton Library and the Lebanon Airport Terminal Building. The Upper Valley Senior Center will also double as a cooling shelter for senior citizens only.
"In New York, Gov. Kathy Hochul has declared a state of emergency for Clinton and Essex counties, with cooling centers open across the North Country. The public libraries in Chazy Plattsburgh, Au Sable Forks, Wadhams, Chateaugay and Tupper Lake will be turned into cooling centers. A full list of shelters is available at the New York Department of Health website."

And who will work in the fields? Children?Folks who have just lost #FoodAssistance and #Medicare?#Protestors who piss off Trump?
#Trump’s Immigration #Crackdown Hits #CaliforniaFarms
#Farmworkers hid in fields on Tuesday as word spread that ICE agents were conducting raids in California’s breadbasket, an activist said.
By Bernard Mokam and Pooja Salhotra
June 11, 2025, 9:08 p.m. ETExcerpt: " 'The #Trump administration is ramping up its immigration crackdown, with a focus on workplaces with undocumented #laborers, such as #farms, #restaurants and #construction sites. Estimates show more than eight million undocumented #immigrants work in the United States.
"Last Friday, federal immigration agents swept through the garment district of Los Angeles, setting off protests that have rattled sections of downtown L.A. and have spread to a number of cities across the country.
"For #farmworkers — about 42 percent of whom are undocumented, according to the Agriculture Department — the escalation in arrests has created widespread fear." 'Children are terrified,' Ms. Romero said. 'They don’t want to go to school because they don’t know if their parents will be home when they come back.'
"Local leaders have rebuked the escalation, which could bring hardship to one of California’s agricultural corridors. The #CentralValley — which grows #almonds, #grapes, #walnuts and #cherries, among other crops — produces a quarter of the nation’s food, worth an estimated $17 billion a year, according to federal data.
" 'These actions are completely unjustified and harmful,' said Mayor Luis McArthur of Oxnard. 'They create chaos in our city without contributing much to public safety. Furthermore these actions undermine the very principles of #DueProcess.'
"The raids this week represent the first organized immigration enforcement from the new Trump administration to hit California’s agricultural region, which covers about 40 percent of the state, Ms. Romero said. A handful of federal operations have been conducted in other rural communities in recent weeks. Last month, federal agents pulled over a bus in #AlbionN., and detained 14 immigrants who worked at a nearby farm. In April, three children and their mother were detained at an upstate New York dairy.
"Rural migrants are particularly vulnerable to immigration enforcement because they stand out in towns that are often racially homogenous, said Will Lambek of Migrant Justice, an advocacy organization for farmworkers in #Vermont, where eight dairy workers were detained in April.
"In California, Ms. Davalos said the agents could have made more arrests had the community been less prepared. Once a volunteer spotted officers in the area, an alert was sent through a network of support.
"Federal agents were denied entry to at least nine farms in the Central Coast, Ms. Davalos said. Some growers parked their vehicles in front of their gates. Employees also obscured their cars.
'We demonstrated the power of brave, nonviolent #resistance to #ICE’s tactics of #terror,' Ms. Davalos said, lamenting what she described as politically driven attempts to reach a deportation quota. 'At the end of the day, they’re seizing our family, friends, neighbors and co-workers.'"If federal immigration enforcement activities continue, #FoodProduction will become increasingly difficult, and food prices could rise, warned Bryan Little, senior director of policy advocacy at the California Farm Bureau."
