Christopher Reeve in 1990
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — Images Cinema will host a fundraising event, "Remembering Christopher Reeve," on Wednesday, May 14, as part of its Look Forward Capital Campaign.
 
The event will begin with a VIP reception at 6 p.m. in the Images Lounge, featuring special guest James Naughton and community members. This will be followed by a screening of the documentary "Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story" and a conversation in the theater.
 
The Look Forward campaign aims to continue the legacy of Christopher Reeve and enhance accessibility at the theater. Reeve, known for his portrayal of Superman and his involvement with the Williamstown Theatre Festival, also supported Images Cinema's 1989 fundraising campaign.
 
"Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story" chronicles Reeve's life from his acting career, including his role as Superman, to his activism for spinal cord injury research and disability rights following a 1995 accident.
 
James Naughton, a two-time Tony Award-winning actor with a history at the Williamstown Theatre Festival, including a 1994 production of "Love Letters" with Christopher Reeve, will be a special guest at the event.
 
Tickets for general admission are $75 per person, and VIP tickets, which include the reception, are $125 per person. VIP tickets are limited due to space constraints. Tickets can be purchased here. Images Cinema is located at 50 Spring St.

Williamstown to Apartment Dwellers: Don't Smoke 'Em if You Got 'Em

By Stephen DravisiBerkshires.com Sports
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — Town meeting Thursday decided to implement a ban on smoking or vaping tobacco products in apartments with more than four units and to limit the number of days in a year that home can be rented as an "Airbnb."
 
As expected, those were two of the issues that generated discussion in a 2 1/2-hour meeting in the Mount Greylock Regional School gymnasium.
 
But, in the end, the votes were not particularly close in either case.
 
The smoking ban, which had the support of the town's Board of Health and Select Board, passed on a vote of 148-56.
 
The town clerk reported that 308 of the town's 4,677 registered voters, 6.6 percent, checked in to the meeting.
 
The short-term rental zoning bylaw regulation generated by the Planning Board, which needed a two-thirds majority to pass, passed by a vote of 219-25.
 
William Raymond, who drafted the smoking ban and submitted it to the meeting by citizens petition, presented the article, No. 30 on a 32-article warrant.
