PLATTER

COMPILED BY KEN PICARD

Three fellas from Hoosick Falls, N.Y., are likely wishing they paid closer attention in botany class. On September 27, cops in Shaftsbury discovered three men — Leon Lovelace, 21, Brett Stone, 24, and Cody Smith, 20 — sitting in a car with several freshly harvested plants which they assumed were marijuana. Only after the three were cited and released for possession did police discover that two of the men had given them fake IDs, and that the vegetation was actually hemp — not ganja — stolen from a Shaftsbury farm. Don’t worry boys, it’s not just you: The farm has reported significant crop losses of late, presumably because other plant pilferers also thought it was growing cannabis.

STONERS WEEDED

Seems like a no-brainer to douse the woodstove when you leave the house — especially if the house isn’t yours and you’re using it to process large quantities of weed. On September 21, when 75-year-old Ronald Griffin visited his hunting camp in Averill, just south of the Canadian border, he discovered that pot squatters had broken in, set up shop and then snarfed down most of his food. The Derby man called the cops, who couldn’t find the burglars on-site but decided to wait and see if they returned “home.” State police and Border Patrol surrounded the house early the next morning and turned on their sirens, flushing out Austin Guyer, 18, Zachary Hawkins, 19, and an unidentified 16-year-old. All three were charged with burglary, larceny and marijuana possession. Griffin, who knows the busted minor, told Seven Days that the kids burned some wood but didn’t take much else. “I don’t keep a whole lot there anymore,” he said.

SEVEN DAYS

Po-Po

Alfred Massaquoi should have taken a closer look at the car in front of him before tailgating it on I-89. Cops say the 31-yearold Winooski man last month sped his 2011 Chevy Equinox dangerously close to the rear of a state police cruiser in the right lane, then trailed it with his high beams on. When the cruiser changed lanes, Massaquoi passed on the right and then, presumably spotting the police insignia, slowed down to 43 mph in a 65 mph zone. Massaquoi quickly exited the highway, then allegedly ran a flashing red on Route 100 before getting pulled over. Cops say Massaquoi was drunk, which got him cuffed and stuffed for suspected DUI and driving with a criminally suspended license.

TAILGATE PARTY

“He’s been saying for a long time that we are a vocal minority, and that’s just not true,” Grill, a member of opposition group Coalition for a Livable City, said of the mayor. “I suppose this petition being brought to a vote will prove that.” If approved, the zoning change would allow developer Don Sinex to go forward with his planned $250 million makeover of the downtown mall known as the Burlington Town Center. It includes 14-story mixed-use apartment, office and retail buildings. The project has another component on November’s ballot. Voters will decide on a $21.8 million tax increment financing proposal — money that would be used to restore St. Paul and Pine streets, which are currently cut off by the Burlington Town Center, Freese reported. Weinberger said he’s planning a blitz of public informational sessions leading up to November 8. “I think Burlington voters take their responsibilities seriously, and I think people will be informed by the time they go to the ballot box,” he told Seven Days in an interview. “I’m optimistic that all of these items are going to pass.”

1. “The Parmelee Post: Exclusive Interview With BLM Flag Thief” by Bryan Parmelee. Our satirical investigation turned up “FedUp84,” who lives in his mother’s basement and describes himself as a “chill af 32yo male.” 2. “From Phish Shows to Breweries, Builder Russ Bennett Makes Magic” by Dan Bolles. Meet the elusive designer behind the steampunk-chic Magic Hat Artifactory, rustic Red Hen Baking and countless Phish megafestivals. 3. “Dean Doubles Down on Trump Cocaine Comment” by Paul Heintz. After the first presidential debate, Howard Dean defended his tweet about Donald Trump’s excessive sniffing. 4. “Vermont Man Under Investigation After Rescue at Sea” by Sasha Goldstein. A Vernon man who spent a week floating in a life raft is under investigation after he survived the doomed fishing trip — but his mother did not. 5. “Two Paths Converge With Fatal Consequences in Winooski” by Mark Davis. The fatal shooting of Jesse Beshaw by sheriff’s deputy Nicholas Palmier has rocked the neighborhood where both men lived.

fter months of political wrangling, it will be voters who get the final say on a controversial zoning change that would allow 14-story buildings in a designated area of downtown Burlington. The issue has divided Queen City denizens, some of whom call the proposal “progress.” Others claim it’ll disfigure the low-rise burg, which now prohibits buildings taller than about 10 stories, or 105 feet. All summer long, city meetings have featured passionate speakers on both sides. Many of those have made the same point: that residents should get the chance to weigh in. Done. Last Thursday the Burlington City Council endorsed the zoning change and voted 8 to 3 to put the question on the November ballot, Alicia Freese reported on our Off Message blog. The decision came a day after Mayor Miro Weinberger, a staunch proponent of the change, urged the council to let voters decide. Weinberger’s move was preemptive, as opponents of the change were plotting a petition drive to get the question in front of voters, anyway, activist Genese Grill told Seven Days reporter Molly Walsh.

FEEDback READER REACTION TO RECENT ARTICLES

DUMP TRUMP

[Re Fair Game: “GOP Flop,” August 31]: Adolf Hitler consciously utilized theatrical tricks and stagecraft to mesmerize the masses. Sound familiar? The corporate media grades Donald Trump on a curve — just for reading off a teleprompter. He has had six bankruptcies; therefore, no bank will give him loans. Desperate for money, he cozies up to unsavory characters for capital. He spends a significant portion of his campaign funds on hats, marketing his favorite subject: himself. He is banking on his base to follow him, postulating that they would stay with him if he shot someone. Since his supporters already exhibit confirmation bias, he is probably correct. With Roger Ailes advising him and out of work, they have the perfect storm for the creation of a network. Elizabeth Warren called Trump a “thinskinned, money-grubbing, racist bully.” I would add that he is a dangerous narcissist, if not worse. I imagine that when he hears others labeling him as a demagogue, he hears demigod! I am glad that Jim Jeffords is not here to witness this. If Vermont candidates and GOP leaders don’t come out and strongly denounce a man who insults the president and displays an ardent bromance with the oligarch Vladimir Putin, while defaming our generals and Gold Star families, then they are doomed to stand with him through history — with much to explain. I invite you

ZONING OUT

I’m glad it’s going to a vote [Off Message: “Higher Purpose? Council Approves Zoning Change, Sends It to Voters,” September 29]. But the two issues should be separate. There should be two votes. One for the zoning change, and one for whether this proposed development is acceptable or not. Unfortunately, the two issues are now confused because of this exception. This proposal needs to be cut down in size or substantially revised. Frankly, from the artistic renderings, this is potentially one of the ugliest buildings ever. It could be a giant carbuncle overshadowing the pretty architecture and businesses of downtown Burlington. Once it is there, it will be very difficult to get rid of it, so better to change course before the ship hits the rocks. David Ian Lightbody

NOBODY’S BUSINESS

[Re Off Message: “After Scott Pledges to Sell Construction Business, Minter Moves the Goal Posts,” September 29; Off Message: “After Criticism, Scott Says He’ll Sell Business if Elected Governor,” September 24]: I think it’s interesting that a

business owner can’t continue his business after getting elected. However, all the lawyers who get elected enhance their value tremendously, and nobody ever questions whether that’s ethically correct or not. The goal should not be that a common man or business owner cannot become an elected official, but that lifetime public officials are not necessarily a good thing. Pete Fjeld

LEICESTER

RX FOR DEAN

[Off Message: “Dean Doubles Down on Trump Cocaine Comment,” September 27]: Dean should stick to, “Jim, I’m a simple country doctor; I’m not a politician, pundit or an internet troll.” Veddy interesting, but shtoopid! Bob Russell

MARSHFIELD, MA

WHICH HOWARD?

[Off Message: “Dean Doubles Down on Trump Cocaine Comment,” September 27]: Talk about Jekyll and Hyde. This man has been confusing me for years. On the one hand, we have Vermont Howard who worked pretty well in a bipartisan way as governor and still gives fairly commonsensical opinions occasionally on VTDigger. On the other hand, we have national Howard who will say anything, unfiltered to further a partisan agenda a la Debbie Wasserman Shultz. What’s up with that?!

and it’s urgent. These causes may sound leftist to some, but when 60 to 90 percent of the populace agrees with them, they are mainstream, even if not recognized by the mainstream media. I thought you could do better than this, Seven Days. A comment about his ponytail? Really? As you say, the person who holds this position is a heartbeat away from the top spot. Shouldn’t we vote for someone who has shown the capacity to work hard and strives to know what Vermonters want, rather than imposing his own view? That person is Zuckerman. Barbara Alsop

BURLINGTON

RUTLAND NEEDS

[Re Off Message: “Feds Approve Syrian Refugee Resettlement in Rutland,” September 28]: I can’t believe that Rutland officials are more concerned about taking in the refugees than they are about fixing issues our current residents are dealing with: elderly, vets, individuals who can’t afford housing and are homeless or living in a motel — with children — with aid from the state. The only real jobs available in our area are low-wage or part-time. All who are tickled about the refugees need to take them into their homes and support them. Our Vermont residents should be taken care of first! Linda Soulia-Smith

The article about our lieutenant governor candidates was remarkably full of fluff and cuteness [Fair Game: “The Odd Couple,” September 21]. To categorize Sen. Dave Zuckerman as some out-of-touch hippie who never saw a liberal cause he didn’t like miscategorizes one of the most hardworking people we’ve had in the legislature for the last two decades. Most of the work he has done in the House and then Senate was as a result of determining what Vermonters want and working toward that end. He has been chair of the House Agriculture Committee, working across the three parties to accomplish goals shared by all. He is the only candidate for office this year who is working a successful farm while running for office. Zuckerman promotes causes because they are correct, not because they are liberal. As Bernie showed us, the majority of Americans support a living wage. A majority also wants labels on genetically modified food. The climate is changing,

ON NOV. 8, BURLINGTON VOTERS CAN DETERMINE OUR CITY’S FUTURE

Say YES to a livable city by voting NO on the downtown zoning ordinance and the use of TIF money! VOTE NO ON: 1. The overlay district zoning ordinance.

SEVEN DAYS

10.05.16-10.12.16

SEVENDAYSVT.COM

2. Using public TIF money to fund private profit. The people who oppose this zoning change are FOR redeveloping the Burlington Town Center (BTC) and for increasing density in the downtown core. We are FOR affordable housing, jobs, environmental stewardship, economic vitality, and progress. But we want this growth to happen within the current zoning and directed by community needs and interests, not those of a developer. This zoning change brings us less affordable housing than our current zoning by eliminating bonuses that currently come with more height. City Council, led by the Mayor, voted against increasing the percentage of affordable housing by even 5%, but claims concern about affordable housing. Developments like the BTC raise rents overall, reducing affordablity in the long run and causing gentrification. Video of proposed BTC — https://youtu.be/9fve0joyF1Y

NO We can get environmental benefits and reconnected streets without 175 ft. buildings! In truth, every benefit touted in this ordinance is absolutely possible with more moderatelyscaled buildings. The Mayor is asking the people of Burlington to give a TIF gift of 22 million dollars to a millionaire, instead of using those funds towards desperately needed school repairs. We don’t accept the use of taxpayers’ money for private profit. The developer must pay for his own street infrastructure!

Vote NO on the zoning change and NO on the TIF money slated for Sinex’s project to say YES to growth and increased density as outlined in Plan BTV, Yes to a Livable City, and Yes to transparent Democratic Processes.

Top Whoppers

uring his failed run for governor this summer, BRUCE LISMAN tried to smear his Republican rival, Lt. Gov. PHIL SCOTT, for contemplating a new tax on miles traveled by car. OCT. 28 “Sadly, Phil Scott is out of touch. More taxes are not the answer,” Lisman said in Greg Brown one ubiquitous radio advertisement. “A new mileage tax will hurt Vermonters.” What Lisman failed to mention was that such a levy would replace the gasoline tax, which Republican and Democratic policymakers agree won’t NOV. 4 cover infrastructure costs as vehicles grow more fuel efficient. He also omitted Lark Quartet the fact that when Scott raised the idea, at a July debate in Rutland, he was simply suggesting that the federal government — not Vermont alone — “think about other ways” to pay for roads and bridges. “Bruce Lisman is apparently incapable Main Street of being honest about Randolph, Vt. these facts,” Scott 802-728-6464 campaign coordinator chandler-arts.org BRITTNEY WILSON said at the time. Three months later, 1 10/4/16 1:36 PMthe same can be said of Scott’s own allies at the Republican Governors Association. A super PAC funded by the Washington, D.C., party committee debuted a new television advertisement last Friday slamming Democratic gubernatorial nominee SUE MINTER for — you guessed it — the exact same thing. “Minter even proposed a new tax on every mile you drive,” a narrator says in the ad. Seriously?! Listen, I understand we’re five weeks away from a profoundly consequential election. And I know that — at the federal level, at least — facts no longer matter. But La Mer can’t we do just a little better in Vermont? Natura Bissé Can’t we have an honest debate between two candidates with distinguished reBobbi Brown cords of public service and competing Trish McEvoy philosophies about how to run the state?

OPEN SEASON ON VERMONT POLITICS BY PAUL HEINTZ

Vermonters,” Minter said last week at an Essex Junction press conference. She was referring to Scott’s support for Act 68, the 2003 overhaul of Vermont’s education funding system. In addition to rewriting the state’s property tax formula, the law upped the sales tax from 5 percent to 6 percent. But as Ethan Allen Institute vice president JOHN MCCLAUGHRY has pointed out, every last Democrat in the Vermont Senate joined Scott in voting for Act 68 — as did most House Dems. Though Minter wasn’t elected to the legislature until 2004, it’s not hard to guess where she would have landed. Inexplicably, even though she’s trashing Scott for his vote, she refuses to say how she would have voted. “Sue Minter is ignoring a basic rule in politics,” St. Albans Messenger editor EMERSON LYNN wrote recently. “Don’t criticize an opponent for actions you might support.” • Another rule? Don’t tell half-truths. Scott and the Republicans have been hammering Minter for trying to tax “everything from childcare to snow plowing to haircuts,” as Vermont GOP executive director JEFF BARTLEY put it in a recent mass email. Bartley’s evidence? During her solo “debate” last month at the Tunbridge World’s Fair, Minter told WDEV’s MIKE SMITH that she would like to take a fresh look at the 2011 Blue Ribbon Tax Structure Commission report. The bipartisan tome, based on two years of public hearings and deliberation, recommended a broad range of reforms to Vermont’s tax code, in order to make it more stable, simple and equitable. Among the commission’s proposals was to expand Vermont’s sales tax from durable goods to most consumer services. But as Minter pointed out during the Tunbridge event, doing so would “lower rates by expanding the base.” The Blue Ribbon commissioners estimated that such a shift could cut the sales tax rate from 6 percent to 4.5 percent. That fact, of course, hasn’t made it into Republican hit pieces. • While Minter’s initial support for the Blue Ribbon report was utterly defensible, she hasn’t done herself any favors by trying to walk it back. Asked about the GOP’s attacks at last week’s press conference, Minter denied

All the lines you love...

that she’d expand the sales tax to haircuts or other humdrum services. “Let me be perfectly clear that I will not add new taxes [on] services that will hurt middle-class Vermonters,” she said, over and over again. Instead, Minter vowed, she would “reform our tax code” by “looking for loopholes that support wealthier Vermonters,” such as exemptions for lobbyists, limousine rides and small jets. Um, this is Vermont, Sue. Taxing limos and jets ain’t gonna balance your budget. • Perhaps the biggest whopper so far has been Scott’s repeated assertion that Democrats have raised “$700 million in new taxes and fees” over the past six years. As Vermont Political Observer blogger JOHN WALTERS has pointed out, Scott’s campaign appears to be basing this on growth in spending — not taxes. According to state Auditor DOUG HOFFER, much of that has been financed by the state’s rebounding economy — and a corresponding uptick in personal income. To use as a benchmark state appropriations at the depth of the recession, he argues, “is artificial and disingenuous, in my view.” According to Hoffer’s calculations, the average Vermonter saw “virtually no change” in income tax liability from 2010 through 2014. To be sure, Democrats have consistently raised other taxes and fees over the past six years. Gov. PETER SHUMLIN’s first tax bill, for fiscal year 2012, raised $12.3 million in new revenue, according to figures provided by the legislature’s nonpartisan Joint Fiscal Office. His final budget, for FY2017, raised $47 million more. But if you add all six Shumlin tax bills together, using JFO’s data, you get $177 million in new revenue raised during his tenure. Is that worth debating? Absolutely. But not Scott’s fantasy figure of $700 million. • Finally, there’s the matter of Scott’s construction business. Democrats have spent the past year criticizing the lieutenant governor for his partial ownership of a company that’s done millions of dollars of business with the state. In a letter it sent Scott nearly two weeks ago, the Vermont Democratic Party called on him to make “a complete separation” from the business if elected governor — or prevent it from bidding on state contracts during his time in office. The next day, Scott pledged to do the former and sell his share of DuBois Construction if he wins in November. “I’m awfully glad he’s finally

GOT A TIP FOR PAUL? PAUL@SEVENDAYSVT.COM recognized there is a conflict of interest,” Minter said early last week. But she quickly moved the goalposts, as Seven Days’ TERRI HALLENBECK reported. By the middle of the week, Minter was arguing that DuBois still posed a conflict for Scott because his cousin, DON DUBOIS, would still own a portion of the business. “I don’t think it’s appropriate for the governor to be able to award state contracts to themselves or their family members,” she told Hallenbeck. Ah, so gubernatorial cousins can’t do business with the state, either? What about second cousins once removed? Great uncles-in-law? Whatever it takes to win, I guess.

POLITICS

Where’s Sue?

Minter may be running for governor of Vermont, but she’s sure raising a ton of money from those who live out of state. According to new data from the Secretary of State’s Office, close to $644,000 of the $1.5 million she’s collected for her campaign — or nearly 42 percent — has come from non-Vermonters. Only $122,000 of Scott’s $1.2 million — or 10 percent — has. In the past month, Minter has done particularly well courting donors from California, New York, Massachusetts and the Washington, D.C., metro area. Many of their contributions have been clustered around particular dates, suggesting that the candidate herself has been traveling to out-of-state fundraisers. If she has, it appears to be a state secret. Minter’s spokesman, ELLIOTT BENT, refused to answer any questions about the matter. Here’s what we can glean from her

television ads. That’s nearly twice as much as the $370,000 a Democratic Governors Association super PAC spent backing Minter. And it’s quite a bit more than the $212,000 Scott spent and the $209,000 Minter spent — combined. Who’s bankrolling Scott’s friends at the RGA? According to the Center for Responsive Politics, its million-dollarplus donors include Koch Industries (owned by the infamous DAVID and CHARLES KOCH), Blue Cross Blue Shield and Las Vegas Sands (owned by the infamous SHELDON ADELSON). Other top RGA donors include Walmart, Alliance Coal and Reynolds American tobacco company.

Sorrell 2.0

In his December 2014 Pulitzer Prizewinning series, “Courting Favor,” New York Times reporter ERIC LIPTON exposed a shadow world of lobbyists whose stock in trade is influencing state attorneys general on behalf of their corporate clients. As Seven Days discovered the following spring, Vermont Attorney General BILL SORRELL was close with many of the stars of Lipton’s stories — including uber-lobbyists LORI KALANI, BERNARD NASH, PATRICK LYNCH, MIKE MOORE and DREW EDMONDSON. They donated to Sorrell’s campaigns, hung out with him at Democratic Attorneys General Association retreats — and sought to influence his work back home in Vermont, according to records obtained by Seven Days. Now that Sorrell’s leaving office, the Democrat seeking to replace him is buddying up to the same crowd. In late August, Chittenden County State’s Attorney T.J. DONOVAN flew to New York City to meet with lawyers from Kaplan Fox — one of the biggest contributors to state AGs, according to Lipton’s

reporting. The firm gave Donovan’s campaign $4,000. A month later, another influential plaintiffs’ firm, Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check, ponied up $2,000. On September 13, Donovan was scheduled to attend a Washington, D.C., fundraiser during a DAGA conference. He says he had to cancel at the last minute, but his finance director, WHYTNEE BUSH, attended in his stead — and brought home the bacon. Cutting checks to Donovan at the event were Kalani ($500), Nash ($500) and their firm, Cozen O’Connor ($2,000); Lynch’s firm ($500); Moore’s firm ($500); Edmondson’s firm ($250); and several others. Why were Sorrell’s lobbyist friends so eager to meet with Donovan? “I’m sure what they want is a relationship,” Donovan says. No doubt. But why take their money if their goal is to influence official action — particularly when you don’t need the cash? Donovan, who is heavily favored to win, has raised $391,000 for the so-called race. His virtually unknown opponent, St. Johnsbury attorney DEB BUCKNAM, has raised just $57,000. “I don’t know the history that you do. I mean, I read the Lipton articles about Nash,” Donovan said, “To me, everybody gets a clean slate with me. I’m happy to have their support. And I’m going to do what I think is right.” That’s what they all say. m

latest disclosure, which her campaign filed Saturday: Minter raised nearly $15,000 last month from donors based in D.C., Maryland and Virginia. Much of that money arrived September 7, around the time one Bethesda donor contributed $893 worth of food to a Minter event. The Democrat raised nearly $28,000 last month from Massachusetts donors — mostly around September 19, when another supporter contributed event grub. Minter collected more than $26,000 from New York and New Jersey residents — some of which came in a chunk around September 20. And she raised another $17,000 last month from Californians. The campaign spent $1,484 on United Airlines tickets “for candidate and staff,” according to the report, but their destination was not disclosed. Compared to Minter, Scott’s been a bit of a homebody. According to spokesman ETHAN LATOUR, the lieutenant governor left Vermont just once in the past two months to fundraise for his campaign. After taking part in a gubernatorial debate September 22, Scott drove down to Boston for a fundraiser with Massachusetts Gov. CHARLIE BAKER and was back in Berlin before bedtime, Latour said. Then again, Scott didn’t have to travel for his out-of-state cash, because it came to him. As Seven Days reported over the weekend, a super PAC financed by the Republican Governors Association has spent more than $1.2 million backing the current LG’s campaign. In the past month alone, the organization — called A Stronger Vermont — dropped $700,000 on his behalf, largely on

ost days, Carol Tashie can be found working in the dirt on her organic farm just outside Rutland. But last Thursday afternoon, Tashie and some 40 men, women and children stood along the busy corner of Main and West streets in the Marble City, waving signs declaring “Rutland Welcomes.” Dozens of passing motorists honked their horns in support as they drove past; some drivers even flashed their own signs or stickers bearing the same motto. It was a public celebration for members of the organically grown Rutland Welcomes, who had learned just the day before that some 100 Syrian and Iraqi refugees would begin moving to the area by the end of the year. Last Wednesday’s decision served as a validation of sorts for the group that formed shortly after Rutland Mayor Chris Louras announced plans in April for the city to become a new refugee resettlement site. “This isn’t about gloating,” Hunter Berryhill, a local English teacher and member of Rutland Welcomes, said of the gathering. “The hard work is about to begin. This isn’t the finish line.” Berryhill admitted the last several months have been tumultuous and marked by uncertainty as the group awaited approval from the U.S. Department of State. Louras’ spring announcement sparked immediate backlash from some locals, who accused the mayor of working unilaterally and in private on a public issue. His critics included some of the city’s aldermen, who said they were blindsided. Louras had spent months hatching the plan with the Vermont Refugee Resettlement Program and discussed it with some city officials, Gov. Peter Shumlin and Sen. Patrick Leahy’s (D-Vt.) office. An investigation recently cleared Louras of charges that he abused his mayoral powers. But it hasn’t eliminated concerns about whether the new residents would strain resources in the city of 16,000. Could the schools take more children? What about jobs? “I’m not opposed to refugee resettlement, but I think the scale is far too large, and I’m concerned it will increase property taxes much faster than we can absorb,” said Wendy Wilton, the Rutland City treasurer and a member of what she

IMMIGRATION described as the “loose-knit” Rutland First group. Its adherents are against the proposed influx of immigrants. The group’s spokespeople insist that their objection doesn’t stem from bigotry or racism. The Rutland First Facebook page, however, hosts ignorant, xenophobic comments along the lines of: Would these Muslims bring sharia law? Would their arrival imperil community safety? Would they transport diseases from overseas? Elsewhere on social media, some commenters have even alluded to violence — which has not gone unnoticed by officials. “I’ve had discussions with the U.S. attorney, Eric Miller, and he has worked with his team, and they developed a plan and a strategy to assess the language and determine whether or not it’s actionable,” Louras said. “And that’s their job.” Two weeks after Louras publicized his proposal in April, about 170 people gathered at the Unitarian Universalist Church to discuss how they could support the refugees. Out of that meeting, Rutland Welcomes formed a core leadership team, as well as 17 subcommittees. The highly organized outfit

held forums and did outreach at events such as farmers’ markets and summer festivals. “I’ve always believed that the overwhelming majority of people in Rutland are caring, loving and excited to enter this opportunity to welcome new neighbors,” Tashie said. Along with a Facebook page, the group runs a website, and its members use Slack, an instant messaging-like application, to swap information and upload meeting minutes and sign-up sheets. “I have a dresser, side table, table lamps, dinnerware for eight and a stockpot that I’d like to donate when a storage site is found,” wrote Sara Longworth on the #donations channel. Julia Riell gave some culinary tips on the #welcome-wagon channel, while another advocate, a Syrian woman who moved to Rutland several years ago, advised the group to buy mint plants because Syrians use the herb liberally. Jennie Gartner, who was born and raised in Rutland, said she often worked 20 hours a week on the effort. The cause struck a chord with her: She’s Jewish and her grandfather fled Nazi Germany.

Although she doesn’t consider herself particularly religious, she said she knows what it’s like to be a minority in a small town. “Have we learned nothing from history? We can’t just stand and turn our backs on the people in need,” Gartner said. “It doesn’t matter where they’re from; they could be from the moon — they’re welcome,” she added. Marsha Cassel admitted that Rutland Welcomes was shocked by the anti-refugee backlash. “We just weren’t thinking of other perspectives, which was naïve and insensitive as well,” said Cassel, a local educator and volunteer. “I was dragged through hate speech for three weeks,” she added. There’s still simmering discontent. During the gathering Thursday, one man, waiting at a red light in a Jeep with his window rolled down, began yelling at Louras. The mayor recognized the man, a father he’d seen at the soccer field where his son plays, and offered to chat with the man at the next game. “Personally, I think you should be kicked out,” another man yelled from his vehicle — a black Chevy truck. “Just remember, Chris, if something happens,

their ground game, Democrats have the edge. “Our field operation in Franklin County and statewide is the biggest field operation Vermont has ever had,” she said. Republican Bartley conceded, “They have 20 staffers. We have four.” In Fitzgerald’s St. Albans, one of the two House seats representing the city and a portion of the adjacent town has ping-ponged back and forth between a Democrat and Republican in 2010, 2012 and 2014. This year, Democrat Mike McCarthy hopes to continue that tradition by ousting Republican Corey Parent, to whom he lost the seat in 2014. Parent, 26, and McCarthy, 32, are both political junkies who recently purchased homes in the county where they grew up. Within their respective parties, the young men are considered rising stars. Each characterizes himself as on the centrist side of his party. If this were 50 years ago, Parent said, he’d likely be a Democrat. “I definitely consider myself in the mold of a TrumanKennedy Democrat,” he said. But in 2016 Vermont politics, he argued, Democrats have gone too far left, so he’s a pro-choice, fiscally conservative Republican. McCarthy, meanwhile, conceded that many Franklin County Democrats think the party statewide has chased too many liberal causes, including mandatory paid sick leave and universal health care. McCarthy argued he can bridge the gap between the old-time conservative Democrats and the younger, more liberal version. He supports paid sick leave, for example, but sought compromise to ease the burden on businesses.

Parent and McCarthy are competing in a two-seat district, where Rep. Kathy Keenan (D-St. Albans) has held the other seat since 1989 and is seeking reelection. Republican Claude Bouchard, a frequent candidate, is also running. Elsewhere around the county, Rs and Ds are also battling it out.

im Fitzgerald was a conservative “blue dog” Democrat when he served two terms — divided by decades — in the state legislature representing St. Albans. Today, six campaign signs are planted on the lawn of his Rail City home: five for Republican candidates, one for a Democrat. “I’m still a Democrat in theory,” said the 77-year-old former mayor of St. Albans who worked for years as assistant general manager for the Central Vermont Railway. “I never left the Democratic Party. They left me.” Fitzgerald is not alone in Franklin County. Once teeming with Catholic Democrats, county voters now send 10 Republicans, one independent and just two Democrats to Montpelier to represent them in the Statehouse. A decade ago, the Franklin delegation numbered seven Democrats and six Republicans. As the rest of Vermont moves ever leftward politically, this northwest corner of the state has become the rare place where Republicans have gained ground. If the party is to maintain any leverage in the Statehouse — where they hold just nine seats in the 30-member Senate and 53 of 150 seats in the House — they have to keep winning in Franklin County. But holding onto those gains won’t be easy for the GOP in 2016. Both the Democratic and Republican parties are working hard for wins in November. Both parties have field offices in downtown St. Albans. In each case, a field director and volunteers are blitzing the county with phone calls and in-person visits. “In 2014, a lot of our wins were in Franklin County,” said Jeff Bartley, executive director of the Vermont Republican Party. The party picked up two seats in the House and one in the Senate that November. This year, Republicans are doing more groundwork to target likely supporters there, he said. Natalie Silver, the Vermont Democratic Party regional field director for Chittenden, Franklin and Grand Isle counties, said her party is doing the same. In fact, judging from the size of

Swanton. Rep. Dan Connor (D-Fairfield) faces Republican Penny Dubie, the wife of former lieutenant governor Brian Dubie, who narrowly lost to Gov. Peter Shumlin in 2010. Hotly contested, too, is the race to represent Franklin County in the state Senate, where two Republicans hold seats now. Sen. Dustin Degree, a one-term incumbent, and Rep. Carolyn Branagan (R-Georgia) are competing with two well-known Democrats, former senator Sara Kittell and St. Albans school board member Denise Smith. Sen. Norm McAllister (R-Franklin), who has a trial pending on criminal sexual assault charges, lost his reelection bid in the August primary. Although more Democrats are likely to turn out in November — to vote in the presidential election — than they did in 2014, the results may clarify just how much politics have changed in Franklin County. The region itself has been growing steadily. Between 2010 and 2015, a period when Vermont’s overall population remained stagnant, its population increased 2.2 percent to 48,794. Much of that is attributable to workers in neighboring Chittenden County searching for affordable housing. Real estate is cheaper in Franklin County, but incomes are lower. The area is seen as the poor cousin of Chittenden County, which has a population of 161,382. Fears of a flat economy have had a conservatizing effect on many Franklin County Democrats, according to Fitzgerald.

Vermont Schools Implement ‘Best Practices’ for Transgender Equity B Y M O LLY WA LSH

issy Semprebon of Waterbury sees herself as a mom in the know. So her ears pricked up when she overheard her 16-year-old son chatting about a new and unfamiliar school policy designed to promote fairness and a sense of belonging for transgender students. The boy, who is not transgender, was explaining to his younger sister that in each of his classes this year at Harwood Union High School, students have been asked to introduce themselves by name and preferred pronoun. The idea was to give them a choice to use “he,” “she,” or gender-neutral options such as “ze.” The introduction policy at the South Duxbury school echoes a trend in college classrooms, and counts as one of several steps Vermont high schools are taking to accommodate teens who are transgender. Semprebon’s son had no problem with the pronoun question, but his mother was rattled by it. She thought it put students on the spot, and she immediately contacted school officials to say that parents should have been consulted before the school rolled out the new practice. She is equally uncomfortable with the idea that when her 13-year-old daughter goes to Harwood in a few years, she could be changing in a locker room alongside students with male genitalia. That’s because Harwood, like some other Vermont high schools, allows students to choose bathrooms and locker rooms that correspond with their chosen gender identity — an issue that has become a flashpoint in the national debate about transgender rights. The way Semprebon sees it, schools are asking teenagers to make accommodations that might make their own parents uncomfortable, even though the elders are presumably more mature. “These things aren’t being addressed very much in the adult world, so why are we testing them on our kids?” she asked during an interview at her home. Others say the changes are overdue, and applaud the Vermont Agency of Education for issuing a list of best practices last spring to help schools become more inclusive of transgender students. “These practices are intended to help schools ensure a safe learning environment free of discrimination and

harassment, and to promote the educational and social integration of transgender students,” the report reads. Burlington-based Outright Vermont helped Vermont Education Secretary Rebecca Holcombe draft the rules, which some schools expressly requested. Similarly, the nonprofit gay and trans youth organization is conducting voluntary trainings with faculty and staff around the state to make schools more inclusive. The ed department’s guidelines are written broadly to allow schools to make policy and physical plant changes that are right for the local community, Holcombe said in an interview with Seven Days. She declined to discuss the policy at Harwood Union High School, as did the two coprincipals there, although they released a public statement in response to comments Semprebon made on Facebook, saying the pronoun policy was a student-driven suggestion and was optional, not mandatory. The school also stands by its locker room access policy and is planning to convert

an existing girls-varsity changing area into a new, unisex one with a separate entrance. “What we’re really trying to encourage our schools to do, is to talk to students about how they feel best supported,” said Holcombe. Many advocates for trans children and teenagers say giving them access to spaces that correspond with their gender identity is a key step to reduce bullying. Meanwhile, other states around the country “are actively resisting acknowledging or supporting these children,” Holcombe observed. In August, a federal judge in Texas rejected the Obama administration’s contention that transgender students have a right to use the bathroom or locker room of their choice under Title IX, the 1972 law that bans sex discrimination in schools. The ruling blocked a U.S. Department of Education directive that schools must allow students to choose restrooms or locker rooms based on their gender identity. In Vermont, “limited feedback” to the Agency of Education recommendations

has been mostly positive, according to Holcombe. But there is some parental resistance out there, and not just at Harwood: In August, the Chittenden Central Supervisory Union school board, which oversees Essex High School, formalized a policy that made clear students could choose to use the bathroom or locker room consistent with their gender identity. At a school board meeting shortly before the start of school, many parents complained and one called the policy “ultra PC” and a “tyranny by the minority.” It’s unclear how many Vermont students are transgender. Nationally, about 0.6 percent of the adult population is trans, according to a study by the Williams Institute earlier this year. Last Tuesday, 175 teachers filed into the auditorium at Essex High School for a training session with Outright Director of Education Dana Kaplan, who is visiting schools all over the state. At Essex, he urged teachers to start looking beyond the heteronormative world and create a school climate where transgender students see themselves reflected in everything from pronouns to curriculum. From little things, such as greeting a class with “Hello, folks” rather than “Hello, boys and girls” to big things, such as calling out students for making insensitive comments, teachers can vastly improve the school experience for gender non-conforming students, Kaplan said. “You all really do have the power to make it better,” he said. The teachers listened closely as a panel of seven teens — five current Essex High students and two recent grads — talked about their experiences as students who are transitioning to transgender status or have already done so. The students introduced themselves with their preferred pronouns, with some opting for “they” rather than “he” or “she.” Faculty members posed a series of friendly questions. On pronouns, did the students like it when teachers asked everyone in class to state their preferred pronouns at the beginning of the year? Some students said they did and some said they preferred to write their preference down on a “getting to know you” form. One student pointed out that some kids don’t know the parts of speech

Since May, 10 ‘Black Lives Matter’ Signs Stolen From Rokeby Museum

Contact: terri@sevendaysvt.com

CALEB KENNA

Jane Williamson planted the first “Black Lives Matter” sign on Route 7 five months ago. She figured it was consistent with the mission of the family that settled on the spot 200-plus years before that: The Robinsons were white Quaker abolitionists who opened their home to freed and fugitive slaves. Ten stolen signs later, the executive director of the Rokeby Museum in Ferrisburgh has decided enough is enough. “It feels like we’re just feeding the landfill,” said Williamson. “The signs don’t stay up long enough for people to see them … I was not expecting this kind of really strong opposition.” July was the worst month for thefts, which Williamson attributed to racial tensions after lethal police encounters in Louisiana, Minnesota and Dallas. The museum received phone calls and emails from people who claimed that Black Lives Matter is a “racist hate group” whose “goal is to incite violence against white people, especially police officers.” As summer became fall, Williamson’s signs kept disappearing, even those she zip-tied to a fence. When she started bringing them in at night, two got snatched in broad daylight. Then Williamson heard that a Black Lives Matter flag had been stolen from the University of Vermont campus. No arrests have been made, but campus police are investigating the September 25 incident as a case of misdemeanor petty larceny. “This is what I mean by determined,” Williamson said of the thefts. “This isn’t just, ‘I think that’s bullshit’; these are people who are actually going to some effort.” Next summer the Rokeby Museum will host an exhibit on abolition, in honor of family patriarch Thomas Robinson, who purchased the property in 1792. Williamson has tentatively planned a panel discussion on the Black Lives Matter movement, which she views as a continuation of the Robinson family’s fight for civil rights. The panel “seems to me a more substantive way of approaching the issue than just putting up a sign,” she said. That doesn’t excuse whoever used theft to try and silence different points of view, she added. “I think the message I take away from this is that there’s more active racism in Vermont than I knew,” Williamson said.

among voters this year. But she hopes to persuade them that Democrats have better solutions to the problem. So does McCarthy in his run to regain the House seat. Republican promises to reduce spending come without specifics, he argued. “They’ll never make good on the promise that your property taxes are going to go away, even if they had a majority,” he said. That rings true for Katy Collin, a 49-year-old Franklin County native who owns a shop called What a Yarn and Antiques on Main Street in St. Albans. Though she expressed concern about the number of people on social services, she said McCarthy and Smith, the Democratic Senate candidate, are trusted friends. Swanton native McCarthy ran Cosmic Bakery in St. Albans for six years and

now sells solar panels for SunCommon. He attributed his 2014 loss after one term in the House to frustration with Shumlin and low voter turnout. The Republican shift in Franklin County was temporary, he contended. Jeff Young, a Democratic House member who was ousted from the same seat in 2010, agreed. “I don’t see Republicans making any gains,” he said. “I’d be surprised if they hold onto even part of the seats they gained last election.” Parent offered a different assessment, but he isn’t taking any chances. The insurance adviser who once skipped school in seventh grade to meet Douglas said he has knocked on every door in his House district once and has started on round two. “It’s red,” he said. m

SASHA GOLDSTEIN

With Backing from Key Institutions, Burlington to Pursue District Heating Several major Burlington institutions are backing a plan to create a district heat system that would harness waste heat from the Joseph C. McNeil Generating Station. A group of residents has been trying for decades to convince city leaders to implement this type of system, which works like an electric grid — but for heat. The idea has been formally studied at least six times, with the most recent report concluding that it didn’t make financial sense. Now, city officials say the calculus has changed because the Burlington Town Center has joined the University of Vermont and the UVM Medical Center in supporting the project. If built, the buildings would depend on the system for heat transported from the biomass plant through an underground system of pipes. Surprisingly, Vermont Gas Systems is also backing the proposal. It would eliminate some of its biggest natural gas customers, but the company could pick up other business in the process — laying the pipes for the system, for example. Vermont Gas, the mall, the medical center, the university and the Burlington Electric Department have hired Corix, a Canadian company with experience constructing and operating district heat systems, to study — one more time — whether it’s financially feasible in Burlington. They have asked Corix to deliver a “definitive roadmap and implementation strategy” by June 2017 and are splitting the initial $75,000 cost five ways. There’s little doubt that the district heat system would be environmentally advantageous. Corix has already estimated it could reduce Burlington’s greenhouse gas emissions by 20 percent. In addition to harnessing heat from McNeil, the system would rely, to a lesser extent, on energy sources such as solar, geothermal and natural gas. At a recent press conference, which was held in front of the Burlington Town Center, Mayor Miro Weinberger, BED director Neale Lunderville and city councilor Karen Paul all stressed that buy-in from Town Center’s owner, Don Sinex, was key. “We would not be here today if not for that development,” Paul said.

But I think a lot of things have worked really well that have changed the fabric of Chittenden County for the better.” He added, “I think this has the potential to do the same for Rutland.” When Louras got the news on Wednesday, it was his turn to be blindsided. He had flown into Burlington the night before, drove two hours to Rutland, and was functioning on just a few hours of sleep when his phone rang just before 9 a.m. Rutland Herald reporter Gordon Dritschilo was on the line. “So,” Dritschilo asked. “What do you think?” Louras didn’t have a clue. “What do you mean, what do I think?” he asked. For the next 48 hours, Louras was busy doing interviews, but he showed

up at 5 p.m. sharp on Thursday to stand with the group that has supported him. Their congratulations outnumbered the drive-by heckles. After an hour of sign waving and cheering, Tashie called everyone over to a spot in the park, where the group surrounded a smiling, relaxed Louras. “We need to make sure that, as we work very hard to welcome our new neighbors, we also work really hard to make sure people know that we need Chris Louras to continue his leadership, his vision,” Tashie reminded the group. “Do we have the energy to sustain this for as long as we need?” Tashie asked them. “The answer is…” she started to say, until her voice was drowned out by the group’s resounding and unanimous “Yes!” m Contact: sasha@sevendaysvt.com, kymelya@sevendaysvt.com

So this monthly feature, Page 32, is our way of introducing you to five books by Vermont authors. To do that, we’ll contextualize each book just a little and quote a single representative sentence from, yes, page 32. Inclusion here implies neither approval nor derision on our part, but simply: Here are a bunch of books, arranged alphabetically by authors’ names, that Seven Days readers might like to know about.

Democracy on the Edge: A Discussion of Political Issues in America

Terry A. AmRhein (with Dr. William K. Fifield), Mill City Press, 300 pages. $16.

“But when gun violence infects American society killing more people than were killed at the Trade Center, we shout, not for gun restrictions, but for more guns and fewer restrictions.” As this election season (and perhaps every election season) demonstrates, the U.S. has no shortage of armchair political pundits. Many of them offer their views in self-published volumes like this one. But Terry A. AmRhein, who has written op eds for the Burlington Free Press and other area papers, isn’t just another instance of “old man yells at cloud” (in the memorable phrase from “The Simpsons”). He’s got a snappy style and lots of facts about issues ranging from health care to the rise of the Tea Party. He also has his biases. But this is a Vermonter who can call the continuing resistance to gun control “absolute unadulterated lunacy!” and then write about the care with which he handles his own shotgun. In short, the kind whose gruff down-to-earth-ness isn’t a bad antidote to election rhetoric.

Son of the Right Hand

Dane C. Bacon, William & James Publishing, 314 pages. $19.99.

“‘No man shall wear this ring but Cormac mac Niall, only living son of the greatest living king of the Celtic people!’ shouted Cormac, his injured leg long forgotten.” Tales of warfare and questing in the ancient world have entertained readers for centuries. But how often does such a tale feature a protagonist with a realistic disability? In this colorful historical fantasy, Cameron, first-born son of Celtic prince Cormac, is born with “palsy” and raised in a small village in ancient Ireland. Deemed unfit to rule and kept ignorant of his lineage, he nonetheless embarks on a perilous quest. South Burlington author DANE C. BACON writes that his love for his eldest son, who has cerebral palsy, was a “great motivator” for him to weave this story thick with action, history and lore, which has been decades in the making.

Beyond Your Touch

Pat Esden, Kensington Books, 320 pages. $12.49.

“His eyes, ocean-deep and sad, touched mine, telling me something I didn’t quite get.” In the second entry in her Dark Heart paranormal romance series, St. Albans author Pat Esden returns to Moonhill, a spooky, palatial estate on the Maine coast. Young antiquarian Annie Freemont has found both terror and titillation in its halls, and now she’s ready to embark on a full-fledged romance with hunky employee Chase, whose mysterious past has been revealed. But a quest to save Annie’s long-lost mother will imperil their relationship — and survival — as they cross the veil into another world. As in Esden’s first novel, A Hold on Me, narrator Annie’s earthy sass keeps the fantasy grounded even as the stakes rise.

Animals creep and scuttle and peck through this second poetry collection from Castleton University English professor JOYCE THOMAS. There is Mary, the elephant lynched for crushing her trainer in 1916. There is Cecil the lion, whose killing sparked outrage in 2015. And there are less celebrated critters: flying squirrels with “large bulging eyes / that shine like jasper”; a hen that places “each three-toed, twiggy foot … as if the earth were taut / cellophane.” In her sly, accessible verses, Thomas makes no secret of her sympathies with these creatures that so often suffer from humanity’s whims: Circus elephants are “chained, tubercular behemoths / swaying on their sensitive, decaying feet.” She also writes compellingly of human beings confronting their own physical limits — their animality — in poems such as “Cardiac Rehab.”

In MARY DINGEE FILLMORE’s historical novel, a young Dutchman speaks these words to his Jewish girlfriend in 1940. Neither imagines the horrors to come. Many Dutch had long believed themselves to be “not like that” — i.e., tolerant of all faiths and creeds. But when the Nazis invaded, their virtues were tested. Rachel, daughter of a prosperous Jewish family, joins the resistance, while her father continues to insist that the storm will soon blow over. Fillmore — who gives a Vermont Humanities Council talk called “Anne Frank’s Neighbors: What Did They Do?” — paints a chilling portrait of how venomous ideology, backed by brute force, gradually infiltrates a seemingly enlightened society. Ample research informs her tale of Rachel’s coming of age — a severely embattled one, but not without its moments of hope and joy.

Schiele and Haring: 20th-Century Innovators in Middlebury Art Shows BY KEVIN J. KELLEY

orks by two of the baddest boys of 20th-century art, both of whom lived fast and died young, are on display at the MIDDLEBURY COLLEGE MUSEUM OF ART. One of them — Keith Haring, a graffiti-inspired American artist who died in 1990 at age 31 — receives full-scale homage in the museum’s second-floor galleries. More than 40 of his lithographs, silkscreens and etchings form a vivacious ensemble that’s fun to look at. Signature images of a “radiant baby,” dogs barking at flying saucers, and a shackled black figure kicking a smaller white one are included in this overview of a brief career that began with numerous arrests. Haring was initially a literal underground artist who chalked zesty sketches on blank advertising spaces in Manhattan subway stations. “Post Pop: Prints of Keith Haring” is accompanied by a video tracing the artist’s meteoric trajectory. It features interviews in which Haring discusses his work and that situate him at the center of New York’s unruly art scene of the 1980s. Downstairs at the Midd museum, Austrian expressionist Egon Schiele (1890-1918) receives only passing notice in a one-room show that’s about not him, but an art movement: the Vienna Secession. Not included here are any of Schiele’s sexually explicit images that scandalized the polite society of Europe. “Bloom and Doom: Visual Expressions and Reform in Vienna 1900” does feature five academic studies the artist drew as a teenager, as well as a later landscape and a poster he made for a Secession exhibit. All are tame in subject matter and manner of execution, but each testifies to Schiele’s talent. One work, however — a full-frontal, casually posed male nude — hints at the artistic fearlessness he would come to flaunt. Schiele, too, was an outlaw artist. He was arrested in 1912 on a charge of having sex with an underage girl and spent three weeks in jail awaiting trial. Police in the small Austrian town where Schiele then lived seized 125 of his drawings that they regarded as pornographic. The sex charge was dropped, but Schiele was found guilty of displaying erotic art in a setting — his studio — where children could potentially see the works.

The judge in the case burned one of the drawings in court over a lit candle. ERIN SASSIN, an assistant professor of the history of art and architecture at Middlebury, organized “Bloom and Doom” together with students in one of her classes. Sassin says she and EMMIE DONADIO, the museum’s curator of modern and contemporary art, did not intend to highlight the biographical and art-historical parallels between Schiele and Haring. It’s pure serendipity that the museum is simultaneously presenting works by two bohemian innovators working on different continents and seven decades apart. If they invite comparisons, the respective exhibitions reveal important differences between the two artists, as well. Schiele, a victim of the 1918 flu epidemic that killed 50 million people, remained apolitical in his artistic output. The Vienna Secession was a rebellion against aesthetic rigidity rather than social or economic injustice. The movement, which issued no manifesto and espoused no particular style, staged shows

in a Vienna building on land leased from the government. The aesthetic conservatism of the early Schiele drawings “made our point for us,” Sassin notes. “If this is what the [Vienna] Academy [of Fine Arts] required of an Egon Schiele, then you can understand why so many artists and designers felt that it encouraged art that was not reflective of its age — and sought to secede from it.” Schiele joined the Secession as a protégé of its founder, the great Austrian painter Gustav Klimt (18621918). The older master, who also succumbed to influenza, is represented in “Bloom and Doom” by skillful academic drawings and a visually dramatic poster. Before Haring died in the AIDS epidemic that has killed 37 million people, he evolved into a political provocateur whose art excoriated apartheid in South Africa and championed gay rights. His work was celebrated internationally during his short lifetime. Haring earned some 50 mural commissions to decorate parks, hospitals, orphanages and museums in Australia,

THE RESPECTIVE EXHIBITIONS REVEAL IMPORTANT DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE TWO ARTISTS.

Brazil and France — plus the Berlin Wall. He achieved celebrity status as a denizen of the ’80s New York demimonde that revolved around Andy Warhol. A commercially and critically successful artist, Haring sold his work at a “Pop Shop” he opened in thenswinging SoHo. (The boutique lasted for 20 years, finally closing in 2005.) The pieces in “Post Pop” were lent to Middlebury by the Keith Haring Foundation, which the artist founded in the year before his death. It is dedicated to sustaining Haring’s legacy and to supporting nonprofit organizations related to AIDS research and treatment. Reflecting Haring’s commitment to involving children in his art, the foundation also assists groups focused on child welfare. “Bloom and Doom” is the final installment in a series of three exhibits that the Middlebury College museum organized in collaboration with the New York-based Serge and Vally Sabarsky Foundation. The couple assembled an extensive collection of German and Austrian art made between 1890 and 1940 that their foundation makes accessible to academic institutions. Together and separately, “Bloom and Doom” and “Post Pop” give expression to the slogan emblazoned on the façade of the Vienna Secession building: “To each age its art, to art its freedom.” m Contact: kelley@sevendaysvt.com

by her own perceived failings as a temporary foster parent. “I realized that I was treating two human beings as though they were disposable. And then I began to realize that that’s why crimes are committed and wars are fought — because somebody thinks somebody else is disposable,” she recalls. “So, I had to imagine how I would feel if the world regarded me as disposable.” Another Patterson (different spelling) has a connection to a separate Vermont movie event. Prolific novelist James Patterson — the world’s highest-paid author in 2016, according to Forbes magazine — cowrote the 2011 New York Times best-seller Middle School: The Worst Years of My Life with Hinesburg resident Chris Tebbetts. Tebbetts will be on hand for a matinee screening of the Middle School adaptation on Saturday, October 8, at Palace 9 Cinemas. It will be followed by a Q&A session and book signing at the theater, hosted by Shelburne’s Flying Pig Bookstore.

Two local authors are getting the red carpet treatment this weekend with Vermont premieres of film adaptations of their acclaimed children’s books. The Great Gilly Hopkins is based on the 1978 book by Katherine Paterson,, which daringly tackled the subject of foster care. It was adapted for the screen by her son David and coproduced by her other son, John. “I think it’s an absolutely beautiful adaptation of my book, and I don’t say that only because my son wrote the script,” Paterson says in an interview. The elder Paterson, a Montpelier resident, notes that it took nine years for the Gilly Hopkins adaptation to reach the screen. A lengthy financing process followed the severing of her family’s relationship with the Walt Disney Company, which had distributed the 2007 adaptation of Paterson’s Newbery Medal-winning classic Bridge to Terabithia under its Buena Vista Pictures arm. Paterson says Disney had pushed for a Terabithia movie sequel. The family staunchly refused to make one. “Hollywood has no imagination, I’m sorry. If something succeeds, then you have to do it over and over again,” she laments. “It’s a book without a sequel.” The Great Gilly Hopkins, produced by the Paterson family’s Arcady Bay Entertainment with a $5.5 million budget, is distributed by Lionsgate Premiere. It stars Montréal resident Sophie Nélisse in the title role, along with Academy Award winners Kathy Bates and Octavia Spencer and sixtime Oscar nominee Glenn Close. All of them worked for scale, according to Paterson. The Vermont College of Fine Arts — home of a nationally prominent MFA program in writing for children — will host a Friday, October 7, premiere of Gilly Hopkins and a panel discussion with Paterson and her sons at Stowe Cinema 3Plex. Proceeds will benefit Tatum’s Totes, an organization that assists foster children in the transition to adulthood. Paterson says she’s pleased with the event’s charitable tie-in, since her book was inspired

Five anxious minutes later, the hospital worker came out smiling and giving us the thumbs-up sign. “It was apparently a bureaucratic mixup,” she explained. “Kerry, you’re all set, honey.” As we pulled away from the lobby, my seatmate exhaled a deep breath, saying, “God, I really didn’t need that.” “Yeah, that was nerve-wracking,” I commiserated. “But it all worked out.” Brattleboro is about as long a ride as you can take from Burlington and remain in Vermont. But it’s a straight shot on the highway, 89 to 91, so I penciled in just five and a half hours for the 300-mile

Though I consciously tried not to eavesdrop on his words, I couldn’t help but pick up on his tone: encouraging, heartbroken yet abundantly loving. “Yes,” she said quietly, “I love you, too,” and passed the phone back to me. “Do you mind music for the ride down?” I asked. “Sure, that’ll be fine. Whatever you like.”

I’d never dropped anyone there before, and I couldn’t quite determine the distance from the place’s website and my GPS. “Oh, gosh,” Kerry said as we attained my regular highway speed, just under 70. “I need to call my husband, and I realized I don’t have my phone.” “Here, use mine,” I volunteered, lifting my cellphone from the dashboard cradle and passing it over. “You’re good with an iPhone?” “Oh, thank you so much. Yeah, I’m fine.” I muted the soft-rock radio station as she dialed. “Oh, I’m so glad I got you,” she said to her mate. “Yes, yes, they had a bed

I felt a keen responsibility, and not merely to transport this person safely to her destination. That’s my duty on every fare. Kerry was about to enter a serious rehab program, and I was sensitive to her fragile and vulnerable emotional state. The Brattleboro Retreat has been providing this service, in evolving forms, since the mid-1800s and is the largest facility of its kind in the state. For those whose lives have reached a dead end, it offers a pathway to a new way of living. Not an easy one, but a true chance. We spoke little on the drive down. At one point, we briefly discussed Chittenden County’s addiction programs and agreed that it should have one of the Retreat’s size and scope. For the most part Kerry remained contemplative; I sensed she was mustering her resolve.

As it turned out, the Retreat was just 10 minutes from the highway. I’m not sure what I was expecting (a hospital setting?), but the campus looked like just that — the campus of a classic small New England college. Pulling in and circling to the admissions entrance, I was struck by the total absence of people. The dinner hour was a likely explanation, but still, it was eerie. I also noticed two elephant-themed sculptures and wondered about the story behind them. But mostly I thought about the meanings of “retreat”: to withdraw from the battlefield; and a place of refuge or sanctuary. Who among us doesn’t need such relief at some point in their life? “Let me walk you in,” I suggested. “You know, just to make sure you’re good to go.” “That would be great,” Kerry assented. The admissions person was expecting her, and offered a welcome. Thank goodness, I thought. “Thank you so much,” Kerry said, turning to me. I shook her hand with both of mine, saying, “God bless your recovery.” Walking back to my cab, I thought maybe I should have said, “Your higher power as you understand it.” Because God, for many, comes with a lot of baggage. m All these stories are true, though names and locations may be altered to protect privacy.

watched the hospital’s oversize revolving door from the driver’s seat of my idling taxi, awaiting the discharge of my customer, Kerry McDougal. Right on time, a pretty, round-faced woman of about 40 emerged, caught my eye and signaled the connection with a hand wave. As she drew closer, I could see that she looked beleaguered, possibly on the brink of defeat. “Kerry, I’m Jernigan,” I said and, with her approval, relieved her of her brown shopping bag, which looked to be haphazardly stuffed with clothes. “I’ll be driving you down to Brattleboro. You can sit in the front if you’d like. Really, whatever’s more comfortable for you.” “Yeah, the front will be great,” she replied softly. I could tell that even this simple communication wasn’t easy for her. “Thanks so much for doing this.” “Hey, no problem. We got a beautiful afternoon for the ride.” As Kerry was climbing into her seat, two hospital employees came rushing out the door and up to my cab. “Kerry, you’re going to have to wait,” said one of them. “Brattleboro’s now saying they don’t have a bed for you.” “That’s crazy,” Kerry said, her disappointment spilling out. “I just got off the phone with them, and they said everything was all set up.” “Just give us a minute,” the hospital person said. I couldn’t tell if she was a nurse or a social worker. “Let’s see if we can clear it up. I’m going to call them back.” As they walked back in to make the call, Kerry said, “I don’t know what I’m going to do if this falls through. I really don’t.”

earts and minds, Billy, hearts and minds. We can’t just go around unloading death from above on everyone and everything we don’t like. Or at least we shouldn’t. True, our nonlethal attempts over the last 15 years to curb Afghan opium-poppy production — which accounts for about 90 percent of the world’s supply — have come up short. And it’s not like we’ve been stingy with air strikes generally: U.S. forces hit Afghanistan with more than 140 in the first seven months of 2016 alone. But simply obliterating a nation’s most lucrative crop just might cheese off a hardworking farmer or two, and that’s a bad plan when a fundamentalist militia stands ready to hand out Kalashnikovs to the disgruntled and dispossessed. Total war, in fact, helped make Afghanistan the world poppy-growing champ in the first place. Among many dubious accomplishments during their 10-year occupation of the country, Soviet troops tore up orchards, destroyed irrigation systems, and generally flattened the Afghan agricultural

After 9/11, though, Omar stuck by his buddy Osama, and the U.S. swooped in. We basically trampled the Afghan economy in the process, though to be fair the Taliban’s prohibition effort had already brought it to the brink of collapse. The farmers who’d been terrorized out of the drug biz resumed planting poppies, and the U.S. military pretty much ignored them. (Ever reliable, those conspiracyminded sorts will tell you the “real reason” for the war was that the CIA needed to jumpstart the heroin trade.) There was a country to be rebuilt from scratch, after all — oh, and did I mention that the Northern Alliance warlords helping us keep the peace had a little drug hustle going on the side? It wasn’t till 2006 that the Bush administration tried a no-poppies policy of its own, where we went beyond targeting drug traffickers and processors and got into crop eradication. This was a strictly ground-level campaign of plowing and burning — not only weren’t we bombing anything, we weren’t even doing

“The poppy farmer is not our enemy,” declared special representative Richard Holbrooke, “the Taliban are.” Economic stability in Afghanistan, the current reasoning goes, is more important than stemming the heroin tide. Counternarcotics efforts have continued, but U.S. soldiers aren’t even allowed to trespass in poppy fields nowadays. Eradication is left to the Afghans, who collect $250 from the U.S. per hectare knocked out — though corruption has led to selective enforcement, with farmers who cozy up to local officials keeping their fields in flower. The U.N. reported a slight dip in Afghan poppy cultivation for 2015, the first downturn in six years. But it sure wasn’t cheap: as of 2014, the United States had sunk $7.6 billion into curtailing Afghanistan’s drug trade. I know, I know — that sure could have bought a lot of air strikes, right? With demand showing no signs of going away, the poppies would likely just have been planted again. Afghanistan has enough broken eggs for its omelet already, thank you very much.

infrastructure. But farmers gotta farm, so they turned to a hardy plant that doesn’t require much intervention to thrive, and also happens to net its cultivators stacks and stacks of cash. The Cold War ended: out went the Russkies, in rushed the Taliban. For a spell Mullah Omar and his cronies taxed poppy production, but in 2000 they shifted gears and implemented a total ban — less, seemingly, out of Islamic principle (though of course that was the local spin) than as a PR move, to get in good with the U.N. and gain international recognition for Afghanistan’s pariah government. (And just maybe, more conspiracyminded sorts mused, to tighten the heroin market and drive up prices.) The Taliban is bad at lots of things — teaching little girls to read, for instance — but apparently they were very good at terrifying their constituents into abandoning the drug trade. Afghan poppy cultivation dropped 91 percent; the opium supply worldwide took a 65 percent plummet. Afghanistan had temporarily won its war on drugs.

as much aerial spraying as we’d have liked. Such self-restraint came at the insistence of Afghan president Hamid Karzai: spraying from the air would alienate farmers and imperil his government, he argued, though critics noted that many of Karzai’s supporters were cashing in on the opium trade themselves. Meanwhile the U.S. assisted poppy farmers in planting alternative crops like almonds or wheat, but this was a bit like telling a successful American street dealer he should really look into managing an Arby’s instead. The drug trade offered tastier carrots than we did, and the Taliban, whose protection the farmers sought out, wielded bigger sticks. And those Taliban insurgents were now profiting off the opium market themselves. Violence flared up, and expectations were soon adjusted accordingly: “American officials hope that Afghanistan’s drug problem will someday be only as bad as that of Colombia,” the New York Times reported in 2007. Obama ended the Bush crop-eradication plan in ‘09.

ust over a hundred years ago, in 1913, the State of Vermont registered 4,538 vehicles. That was an average of one vehicle for every 78 people. Just three years later, the number quadrupled to 16,000 registrations and 19,000 licensed drivers. Back then, law enforcement officers served as the licensing examiners. Today, Vermont’s Department of Motor Vehicles oversees the licensing and registration of more than half a million drivers. Aspiring vehicle operators must pass both a written exam and a road exam administered by a DMV examiner. First-time or reapplying drivers taking the test in the Newport and St. Johnsbury DMV offices — the only ones in the Northeast Kingdom — are likely to find Robert Brewster Jr. in their passenger seat. As one of the state’s seven full-time examiners, Brewster handles the written and vehicle tests in Newport four days a week. On Thursdays, he evaluates drivers for motorcycle and commercial driver’s licenses in St. Johnsbury. The 56-year-old examiner remembers riding along with his grandmother, a postal carrier, on her twice-a-day mail route between Craftsbury and Hardwick. Later, he learned to drive by practicing in the fields and sand pits of Orleans County. Brewster worked as a technician-mechanic for the Vermont National Guard for 15 years, followed by six years of driving a school bus. For the past four, he’s been belting himself into the cars of wannabe licensees. On a busy day, Brewster says, he’ll evaluate 11 road tests in the morning — “if everyone shows up.” On the day he meets with this reporter, he’s administered five written tests (two failed) and nine road tests (one failed). Surprisingly, Brewster admits to having acute test anxiety himself. In a testing situation, he says, he’s liable to forget his own name. The empathetic but strictly professional examiner went for a spin with Seven Days and spoke about what it’s like to get in a car with total strangers. SEVEN DAYS: Have you ever instantly failed someone? ROBERT BREWSTER: If I get in a car and the windshield is broken, or there’s a hole in the tire and you can

see through to the cords, or there’s no exhaust, yeah, the test is over. SD: What’s the craziest car interior you’ve experienced? RB: [Chuckles.] Chickens. [The car owners] had live chickens they took out of the vehicle just before the test. SD: What’s the most exciting car you’ve been in? RB: A 1969 Olds 442 convertible with the top down. SD: Has anyone tried to cheat on their test? RB: They can ask me anything they want before the [road] test, but once the test is under way, I cannot answer anything. Also, I do not inform them if they’ve passed or failed the test until we’re back in the parking lot. At which point, I have had bribes; I’ve been propositioned. SD: What’s the most common error? RB: Not looking over your shoulders for your blind spots. SD: Has anyone ever aced this with a perfect score? RB: About four to six times a year, someone gets a perfect score.

NAME

SD: Have you ever been in an accident with a driver during the exam? RB: Test drivers have hit other cars, light poles, telephone poles … People ask me how I can do it. I don’t know. I never was a good backseat driver. All I can say is, you shake it off, you get out of that car and into the next one. The best way to explain it is: It’s my job. SD: Have any of your testers exhibited road rage? RB: I’ve experienced road rage from the public — in response to a testing driver who is doing a turnaround or backing into a parallel parking space. They’ll be tooting the horn or yelling. I want people to know, if you are driving in a town that has a DMV, please think before you react. SD: What’s the most counterintuitive thing about taking the test? RB: Well, a lot of times people are so nervous, they think they’re going to fail. They’re so nerved up, they give up. You can only fail the test three times; then you have to wait a month before you can take it again. I had someone who took the test six times. But this past summer, I had the most amazing teenager. Her mom told her to use her nervousness as a tool to pay attention and do things right. And she

Arborist Warren Spinner with a 280-year-old white oak at Oakledge Park in Burlington

B Y PA M EL A P O L S T O N

arren Spinner has more than 12,000 trees in his database, and it’s safe to say he’s familiar with every single one of them. Over 35 years as Burlington’s arborist, he has personally planned, planted and pruned much of the city’s urban forest — that is, the trees in Burlington’s parks, greenbelts and other public places. At 62, Spinner would be justified in thinking about retirement, but when he talks about his work, you get the impression that he loves it too much to stop. After all, he’s also the volunteer tree warden for Essex Junction, his town of residence. (Burlington, South Burlington and Rutland are the only Vermont towns with official city arborists.) He helped launch the 20-year-old all-volunteer group Branch Out Burlington! and is an ex officio board member. And Spinner serves on the council of the Vermont Urban & Community Forestry program, a collaborative effort of the state and the University of Vermont Extension. Spinner, it’s safe to say, sees the forest and the trees — and cares deeply about both. He’s an integral piece of a growing Vermont network of plant and soil scientists, ecologists, orchardists, arboriculture volunteers and other “tree huggers” whose collective goal is, broadly speaking, to keep green things alive in Burlington and around the state. And if you wonder why trees are such a big deal, just try imagining your world without any. A half century ago, Burlington residents didn’t have to imagine: Dutch elm disease, which began to arrive in the States in the 1930s, had robbed the city of some 10,000 trees. The before-and-after photographs that Spinner keeps in his Pine Street office would suffice by themselves to propel his mission. They show residential streets left barren, sunbaked and lined with unattractive stumps after the disappearance of the thick, shade-providing canopies. That’s to say nothing of the decimation of habitats for birds and other critters.

But then, the future is always foremost in the mind of an arborist. Every day — and particularly in planting season — Spinner makes decisions about the viability of individual trees or of species, not just for this year but for decades to come. “Warren has been advocating for the city’s tree infrastructure for a long time; we would not have as robust a system as we do without him,” says Jesse Bridges, director of the city’s Parks, Recreation & Waterfront Department. “You plant a tree so the next generation can sit under it.”

WARREN SPINNER, IT’S SAFE TO SAY, SEES THE FOREST AND THE TREES — AND CARES DEEPLY ABOUT BOTH.

Indeed, protecting us from the sun is far from the only thing trees do, Spinner points out. He ticks off their many benefits: “cleaning the environment, providing oxygen, breaking up impervious surfaces … and also social well-being,” he adds. “People appreciate their beauty. And they provide a calming effect.” Spinner understands that most of us like trees while taking them for granted — with the exception, perhaps, of Vermont’s beloved fall foliage. “But when arborists or foresters talk to people,” he notes, “their eyes are opened.” That’s probably why Spinner is generous with the time it takes to talk to people about trees — whether he’s delivering a slideenhanced lecture to a community group or waxing enthusiastic with a single curious reporter. He deserves to be proud of a career that has brought Burlington’s urban forestry program “from nothing to one of the best in the country,” as he puts it. And, given the known and likely consequences of climate change — the “No. 1” threat to trees, Spinner says adamantly — he’s rightly concerned about the future of his life’s work.

TAKING THE LONG VIEW is not so typical of politicians, and Spinner says he appreciates that his position is not a political appointment — he’s retained his job through multiple administrations. But he’s quick to applaud the efforts of one political leader in particular: Bernie Sanders. As newly elected mayor of Burlington in the early 1980s, Sanders laid out a number of progressive goals. One of them was the reforestation of his city. “One thing Bernie didn’t like was, there were not enough trees, especially in the Old North End,” Spinner recalls. He estimates that 80 to 90 percent of the trees that once lined Burlington’s streets were American elms, and many of those streets had still not been replanted after the elm disease’s devastation. The city started “a real tree crew” in about 1960, Spinner says, but it couldn’t keep up with the removal of dead elms. “When I started, there were a lot of stumps to grind out,” he remembers. And so the new mayor tasked his young city arborist with a massive tree planting. “I had to manage Where do we find 500 trees, how do we plant, where do we put them?” Spinner says. The mayor’s then assistant, George Thabault, began organizing ward by ward, soliciting volunteers. When planting day finally arrived, in late April 1983, Spinner recalls, “I had to color-coordinate the right tree to the right location before the volunteers showed up.”

The biggest tree in Burlington is at the corner of Hayward and Howard streets. The most prolific tree in town is the crabapple. The emerald ash borer is not in Vermont yet, but we’re surrounded — New Hampshire, New York, Canada. These are just a few of the facts that Elise Schadler dispenses during a Friday afternoon tree walk along the Burlington waterfront. Schadler is a staffer at the Vermont Urban & Community Forestry program, and she’s a guest guide for today’s tour. To say she knows her trees would be an understatement — though Schadler admits she’s stronger on deciduous than coniferous. Some 20 people have signed up for the event, presented by Burlington Geographic. As part of the PLACE Program (Place-Based Landscape Analysis and Community Engagement), an initiative of UVM and Shelburne Farms, Burlington Geographic “explores the unfolding story of the landscape and community of Burlington, Vermont.” This fall it’s presenting a series of six lectures on topics ranging from bedrock to edible history to transportation — to, yes, trees. On September 28, program coordinator Sean Beckett and Schadler gave a presentation called “Urban Wilds of the Queen City.” Today’s workshop follows up on that topic, and Beckett is here to introduce Schadler to the attendees. In turn, she asks them their names and why they’ve come. The group is varied, ranging from students to professionals to residents who just want to know more about the landscape in which they live. Schadler’s primary objective is to show us how to identify trees; during the two-hour walk, she talks leaves, bark, shape, branch attachment, seeds and buds. Along the way, she notes common problems with urban trees: Some are planted too close together, for instance, and some are surrounded by concrete, which compacts the soil and reduces the oxygen. And sometimes, Schadler says disapprovingly, trees are planted too deep. She points to a straight tree trunk that resembles, as she puts it, “a telephone pole.” There should be a slight curve in the trunk at the soil line, she instructs. The walk is a lesson in close observation, but Schadler emphasizes the invisible, too. “Ninety percent of issues with urban trees [are] what’s happening underground,” she declares, referring to roots and the soil around them. As two hours zip by, Schadler gets through only about half of her planned excursion, but the attendees depart with enough

tree tutelage for one day. Chatting with Seven Days afterward, Schadler reveals that she’s putting down roots of her own. At 33, she’s recently married, with what she calls a “dream job,” and is ”looking to buy a house.” At Urban & Community Forestry, she’s one of four staffers — all women, she notes — whose role is “technical assistance” on issues and projects relating to trees. She works with “about 50 towns statewide,” Schadler says. Just prior to the Burlington Geographic workshop, she spent a day inventorying trees in Charlotte. The assistance UCF provides can involve just about anything that “helps move urban forestry forward,” Schadler says. That includes making small grants to towns and organizations, such as Branch Out Burlington! Schadler represents her organization at BOB!’s spring tree plantings and has worked with Warren Spinner, Burlington city arborist and one of 20 UCF council members. She counts him as a friend and mentor: “I have quarterly coffee dates with Warren,” she says with a grin. Kentucky-born and Ohio-raised Schadler came to Vermont in 2009 to earn a master’s at UVM’s Rubenstein

Spinner and dozens of helpers planted 600 baby trees in seven hours — “all greenbelt and curbside,” he says. They did the same thing again in ’84 and in ’85. “And then I convinced Bernie to let me plant some bigger trees,” Spinner says. His crew — now four full-time, fully certified arborist technicians and, in the summer, five additional seasonal staff — has continued to plant trees every year. (The city loses an average of 80 trees per year, Spinner says.) Most of the baby trees are planted and nurtured

School of Environment and Natural Resources. That’s what Burlington Geographic’s Beckett, 28, is doing now — though his focus is on ecological planning. The Williston native graduated from Vassar College and then worked as a field scientist and a guide in national parks before returning home. The Rubenstein program, he says, “has a great reputation for graduating [students] with a strong ecological foundation.” Beckett is particularly interested in communication, education and community engagement — that is, in being a liaison between scientists and all the rest of us. Coordinating Burlington Geographic and working under the PLACE program, directed by UVM ecologist Walter Poleman, serves his desire “to strengthen my naturalist tool kit,” as he puts it. “Burlington Geographic is kind of the brand name for the community-engagement work we’re doing,” Beckett says, and notes that the program’s collaborators include Burlington’s Parks, Recreation & Waterfront Department, Regional Educational Television Network and Main Street Landing. “Shelburne Farms and UVM helm PLACE, and their sustainability program works with school districts, teachers, educators, in place-based workshops,” he adds. The purpose of Burlington Geographic is to engage the nonstudent population, Beckett explains. “This season it’s focused on lifelong learning — we’re trying to attract people with different interests.” The talks and workshops, he says, address issues that residents tend to care about. “It’s this idea of connecting people to their landscape,” Beckett says. “It helps to make people really rooted to the place they call home.” Inviting Schadler to talk about trees and why they’re important, he says, makes one of those connections. “She’s good friends with Warren Spinner,” Beckett notes. “She’s at the state level but based in Burlington. In terms of passing the torch regarding tree sustainability, Elise is next in line.”

Leaf Keepers « P.35 that climate change may bring, but under Spinner’s guidance, Burlington’s tree population has been fortified by its diversity. Once home to a vulnerable monocrop of American elms, the city now boasts dozens of species. Spinner shows Seven Days a list of current transplants at the BOB! nursery; it includes 34 varieties, from bitternut hickory to Tatarian maple. There are also three types of elm, all bred to be disease-resistant.

One measure of Spinner’s success is that Burlington earned the designation “Tree City USA” 22 years ago and has never relinquished it. “You have to reapply every year,” Spinner explains of the Arbor Day Foundation program. The title means, essentially, that the city has met core standards of “sound urban forestry management.” Creating that massive tree database — which involved taking inventory of every tree in town, along with its condition and maintenance schedule — has helped the arborist and his crew

meet those standards, observes Bridges. “And at the end of the day,” he adds, “it’s also about the aesthetics.” As the arborist for Burlington’s public lands, Spinner has no jurisdiction on private property. But when he’s asked what individuals can do to maintain healthy trees in their own yards, he readily offers three rules: Choose a good-quality tree for the location, plant it properly (not too deep!), and water, water, water. Spinner knows plenty about coaxing things to grow — and Burlington residents

On a sunny autumn afternoon at the University of Vermont’s Horticulture Research and Education Center, Margaret Skinner strides across several neat rows of saplings to reach a tall, columnar tree. Unlike most of the saplings growing in this secluded corner of the “hort farm,” the slender sycamore is of “Vermont provenance,” she says. That is, it’s a locally sourced native that served as the mother plant to at least 10 other saplings growing nearby. “Oh, my God! Look at these freaking leaves. They’re huge!” exclaims Skinner, grasping one that’s broad enough to cover her entire head. Skinner is president of Branch Out Burlington!, an independent nonprofit group that helps grow, plant and care for the city’s trees. Its slogan: “Bringing the forest to the city, one tree at a time.” Most of the trees that will end up planted in Burlington’s parks and greenbelts originate in nurseries in the Pacific Northwest. They spend their next few years here, in the Burlington Community Tree Nursery. It’s home to about 400 saplings, about a quarter of which are transplanted throughout the city each year. “Some of these [trees] could have been planted last year. That’s where Warren and I differ,” Skinner grouses good-naturedly about Burlington city arborist Warren Spinner. He may call the shots when it comes to picking which species and varieties are sited where, but BOB! does much of the heavy lifting in terms of buying, growing, transplanting and caring for the trees. Skinner subscribes to the philosophy that it takes a village to raise an urban forest, just as it does to raise a child.

Margaret Skinner

“Warren and the Burlington parks and rec department can’t do it alone,” she says. “If we want our city trees to be healthy and our streets lined with beautiful trees, the citizens need to help, too.” To that end, BOB! sponsors educational tree seminars, hosts citywide tree walks and plantings, and puts on the annual Awesome Tree Contest. The contest — the deadline for this year’s was October 4 — identifies and honors some of the most beautiful, stately and unusual members of Burlington’s arboreal array. The oldest is a 280-year-old bicentennial oak in Oakledge Park; the tallest, a 125-foot cottonwood on Howard Street. BOB! is a public/private partnership with nine board members — Spinner himself is an ex officio member — and several dozen volunteers. The group hosts an annual spring sale that provides the public with affordable bare-root, high-quality trees while offsetting the cost to Burlington taxpayers of buying new ones. Skinner, an entomologist and research professor in UVM’s College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, has been with BOB!

since its inception in 1996. When the group was founded, few other towns or cities in Vermont employed an official arborist. While many had volunteer tree advocates, Burlington did not. “We were a disparate group,” Skinner recalls of the organization’s early days. “Some volunteers just wanted to plant trees. I said, ‘I don’t want to plant trees. I want to take care of the trees we have.’ Even if that means we only plant one tree a year, I’d rather see that one tree thrive than plant hundreds of trees that don’t.” In January 1998, thousands of trees throughout Burlington were damaged or destroyed by a devastating ice storm. UVM’s College of Agriculture had recently started the tiny tree nursery off Spear Street but had had difficulty finding people on campus to staff it. So BOB! took the farm over that same year. Ever since, the tree nursery has proved invaluable to the city arborist, Skinner notes. First, BOB! can grow a broad diversity of trees for a fraction of what it would cost

will benefit from the labors of his love for many years to come. m Contact: pamela@sevendaysvt.com

to buy them elsewhere; currently, the nursery is home to more than 42 different varieties. The nursery also allows Spinner to select varieties with specific properties — such as drought or cold resistance, narrower canopies and deeper roots — that area nurseries don’t routinely stock. “I think it’s like Christmas for Warren,” Skinner says about the annual tree-selection process. “He goes to the catalog and says, ‘Let’s get 10 of these, 10 of these, 20 of those…’” If anyone personifies the exclamation point in Branch Out Burlington!, it’s Skinner, an animated leader who’s never shy about voicing her opinion, even though she and the city arborist don’t always agree on their approaches. Years ago, for example, Skinner wanted to organize a neighborhood planting day that she believed would get city residents more invested in caring for the trees outside their homes. Spinner supported the idea “somewhat begrudgingly,” Skinner recalls, and with good reason. As she quickly discovered, few neighbors participated. “We couldn’t get people out. I don’t know why,” she says. “I don’t like to admit it when Warren is right, but that was one time when he was.” While the two “tree huggers” don’t always see eye to eye, Skinner insists their disagreements are always good-natured, and they share a common goal. “If I agreed with everything Warren said, that’d be boring,” she asserts. “And it wouldn’t be healthy.” If Spinner ever decides to retire — something Skinner says he’s “threatened” to do for years — she’ll be sad to see him go. “It’ll be a challenge for Branch Out Burlington! to adjust to a new arborist, for sure,” Skinner adds. “Warren loves trees and people who love trees. He’s always been very enthusiastic and interested in all the things we do.”

IN MEMORIAM

NEIL SHEPARD

Writer, teacher, lives half the year in New York City, half in Johnson I met David Budbill in the late 1980s when I taught at Johnson State College and started the Writers Program down the hill at the Vermont Studio Center. I invited him to read at both college and colony, and a decade’s friendship followed. Those were the years when David was still writing his Judevine poems — Why I Came to Judevine (1987) and Judevine: The Complete Poems (1991). He was also converting them to a play, Judevine. David seemed vitally alive during this period, interacting with directors and actors, rethinking and recasting the poems for the stage. I saw and admired both versions of the play, impressed by how he enlarged and deepened it. I published several of his poems in the literary magazine I edited, Green Mountains Review. David’s “plain style” poems — including one about “Vinegar Bob, the Academic” — fit just fine within these “academic” pages:

David and I both loved jazz, and we sometimes jammed together in far-from-professional sessions, I on piano and David on sax (less often, on the shakuhachi). At some point, we hatched a plan for his next reading at JSC. He would read poems and, intermittently, accompany himself on the sax. The plan was better in conception than actualization. I remember Lois, his wife, listening with a mixture of bemusement and disbelief. As far as I know, David never again attempted to be two performers at once. But later, he found other ways to combine words and music: performing with the great jazz bassist William Parker, with pianist Michael Arnowitt and, sometimes, with the poetry-and-jazz ensemble to which I belonged, PoJazz. We also bonded over Chinese poetry. I’d taught in Shanghai in the early 1990s, and I brought back contemporary poems from the so-called Third Wave of Chinese surrealist poetry. Though David admired these poems, his real passion (and mine) was for the more straightforward poems of ancient Chinese hermit poets. He was beginning to experiment with his own “American-made Chinese poems” — short, simple forms that echoed across time. I remember how excited but hesitant he was, initially, about these poems. He wondered whether they were too appropriative, too slight. I published several of them in GMR and encouraged him, at a second VSC reading, to start with the tried-and-true Judevine poems and gradually work in the Chinese poems. He did. The crowd responded with wild applause. Afterward, during the Q&A, several poets in the audience praised David’s new poems, noting how they added breadth and heft to his poetic output. David’s death brings back to me his life. I knew how fully he embraced his world — the writing, the music, the gardening, the woodcutting, the solitude. I can only imagine how much he missed it near the end. Gardening and woodcutting were his seasonal enjoyments; the poems, prose and plays were for everyone. I suspect his words will nourish us for years to come.

SEVEN DAYS

Out in the fall woods again this year, cutting firewood. Now sitting under a big white pine tree writing this, I wonder how many more years I will be able to work here, wander here, do this: smell the dying ferns and leaves, listen to the geese going south, stare up through the branches of these trees, see the clear-blue-blue-clear autumn sky.

David Budbill was sui generis, one of a kind. He was also a regular neighborly man, curious and often amused. While ever ready to shout with outrage at what he deemed bigotry or pompous excess, he kept on aspiring to the vigilant detachment of those he considered his nearest and dearest artist peers: Li Po, Wang Wei, Han Shan and others. These tough, clear and persisting poet-sages of ancient Asia walked away from city life and society’s intrigues to watch the shifting panoply from far off. In his own poems, David could slide between rueful and aghast, gleeful and grieving. He could be daftly roundabout or bluntly declamatory. A skillful gardener, shrewd about upland weather and the bugs and beasts that would avidly devour his plantings, he built an authorial career likewise, methodically but warily. He seemed to enjoy shrugging or scoffing at the accolades not gained. Over many years, I’ve read and enjoyed David’s books, but I always thought he was at his brightest and funniest and most complete onstage, in particular when braiding verse and polyrhythms with the majestic bassist and flautist William Parker and drummer Hamid Drake. And I’ll treasure forever seeing three performances of last year’s revival of the gorgeous Erik Nielsen opera A Fleeting Animal, with a libretto by Budbill. This rendering of the story of Tommy and Grace was so starkly beautiful, and Tommy’s death at the opera’s climax was as affecting as any end-of-life I’ve ever witnessed, in any art. Bravissimo, David Budbill. Thank you.

He writes short stories, then chops up the lines so he can pretend they’re poems. I say: What’s wrong with short stories?

Publisher/managing editor, Green Writers Press, West Brattleboro At Green Writers Press, we are mourning the loss of a great Vermont writer, David Budbill. But David is still very much with us in spirit and through his books. His forthcoming book, Broken Wing, will be published posthumously in November. David had control of the process throughout his illness, and his daughter, Nadine, worked closely with me to bring the book to fruition and out to the world. Broken Wing is David’s final work of prose in book form. We brought on Vermont artist Donald Saaf to add whimsical and lyrical illustrations throughout, in accordance with David’s wishes. Broken Wing is the story of one man’s love for birds and efforts to save a rusty blackbird that can’t fly south for the winter. But it is really so much more. I look at it as a folktale for all of mankind, a paean to nature and the world we so precariously inhabit, and a plea to end racism. In Broken Wing, David has composed a monumental love letter to the natural world, an astute and minutely observed portrait of the avian inhabitants of a mysterious hillside orchard. The Man Who Lives Alone in the Mountains, a reclusive keeper of the Earth whose soul is devoted to one injured rusty blackbird, embodies a narrative voice compelled to witness, in the rhythm and brutality of the seasons, the intimate patterns of the wild creatures surrounding his home. David’s lyrical storytelling effortlessly transports the reader into his realm with a rare and poetic beauty. This book will live on, in the timeless, mythic way all great folktales do, and David himself is held within the pages for all of us to cherish.

Actor and author, Elmore DeWees, who performed in three productions of Budbill’s signature play Judevine, considered the playwright a teacher and a friend. The two would often meet for breakfast, he said, during the years when DeWees was starting out as an actor, and Budbill was “becoming the icon/folk hero he is.” He offered the following as “a Movement, and accurate to the times David and I hung.” Picture a Hardwick diner one winter morning in 1988…

JULIA SHIPLEY

Poet and Seven Days contributor, Craftsbury I found a copy of Judevine at my hometown library in southeastern Pennsylvania when I was 20 years old. I thought it was the most exciting book I had ever read; it shocked me how powerful it was, how authentic the voices in it were. At that point, I’d never been to Vermont, never dreamed I’d live here. I thought the whole thing was a reverie, even though it seemed so real. Then, when I was 27, I was working at the Vermont Studio Center and saw a copy of Judevine at a local café and said to the owner, “That is the most amazing book!” And she was like, “Yeah, David’s pretty great.” And I said, “You know him?” And she said, “Sure, he comes in sometimes. He lives over in Wolcott.” This was a total mindblower for me — that I had essentially moved my way up and into Judevine territory. Later, I helped bring David and his daughter, Nadine, to read at the Stowe Free Library for National Poetry Month, and to the Craftsbury Outdoor Center for an Elderhostel/Road Scholar program. And I got to tell him, like so many did, how his writing changed my life.

Rusty DeWees: When do you write? David Budbill: Afternoons. Upstairs at my desk. When Lois paints. Tea. Cat comes up from the woodstove. RD: How do you write? DB: Oh. (Pause.) I play music. Yeah, I play music ... much as I write. RD: What do you play? DB: My sax, mostly. Percussion. But. My sax, mostly. That’s when the cat goes back to the woodstove. You should write. RD: Nah. I don’t know verbs and nouns, really. DB: You drum, you know rhythm. You move with it onstage. RD: Nah … Pancakes are good, gol darn. DB: Best toast. They make their bread. … Writing is music. Judevine. Judevine is pieces. Movements.

RD: So you play… DB: I play, and then write what I heard. Yeah. RD: We’ll never have another stage experience like Judevine. DB: Oh, no? RD: Can you imagine? Can’t imagine. Can’t. DB: Guess so. RD: It’s Judevine-like snowing outside. Look at that. DB: Yeah. Lois is making spaghetti sauce. RD: She makes it? DB: Oh, we had so many tomatoes this year. And peppers. Friend is coming over. From New York City, a writer friend. I loved New York. I love spending time there.

In this late afternoon I look up to see David strolling down our yard. And without a word I invite him onto our porch. We sit at the table. And in a moment, I get up, step into the kitchen, and bring us back each a bowl of stew. No metaphors, no words of the ancients here, simply bowls of the stew I made the evening before. Then, in the still of that setting sun, we sit, and we eat. And there beside the porch, the birds that Issa heard join us, to sing, for us, David’s song.

RD: You lived there? DB: Oh, yeah. Everyone should live in New York. Creative people should. [The friends walk out of the diner.] RD: That was good. Diner is great. You see the people? Judevine people. DB: Yeah. [The friends are in the parking lot. It’s snowing hard.] We’re all Judevine people. I guess. RD: See you next time. DB: Yeah. Lois and I will see you in True West. RD: One piece of writing advice. DB: Then and than are different. RD: [Far apart, shouting through the storm.] Yeah, man, this was great. DB: I love this place.

ake a stroll down Main Street in Bethel, and it’s easy to see that the town has fallen on hard times. Empty storefronts gaze out at blighted lots and rundown buildings. Pedestrians are scarce. But it wasn’t always this way. For decades, Bethel was a prosperous mill town with factories, hotels and restaurants. In the late 1960s and early ’70s, it housed many of the workers building Interstate 89 — an era locally known as the “Dodge City days” because of its Wild West feel. Then came the recessions of the late ’70s and early ’80s, and Bethel never fully recovered. Last weekend, the Windsor County town — pop. 2,030 — got a chance to try out a different fate. A ribbon of Main Street was spray-painted blue and became a multiuse lane for humanpowered travel. The once-vacant stores were filled with pop-up shops selling books, candy and on-the-spot tailoring. The Bethel Depot, a bar tucked inside the old train station, set up an outdoor beer garden with giant lawn games. An old phone booth was transformed into a Little Free Library. All this was part of Vermont’s first Better Block project. The Better Block movement began in southern Dallas, Texas, in 2010, when community

organizer Jason Roberts gave a blighted area a temporary makeover with many of the same features that sprang up recently in Bethel. Since then, the Better Block phenomenon has spread internationally. Roberts’ Better Block Foundation offers free materials and fee-based consulting to towns and cities looking to make their neighborhoods more inviting, if only temporarily, as a way to spur longerterm change. Better Block came to Vermont by way of the state’s chapter of AARP. As an advocate for older residents, AARP Vermont focuses on fostering changes in communities that enable members to “age in place,” or stay in their homes as long as possible. For Vermont’s growing population of seniors, being able to get around independently and connect with the community is often the biggest challenge. “Transportation and mobility are cornerstones for us,” said Kelly Stoddard Poor, AARP Vermont’s director of outreach. “What comes along with the Better Block project is an opportunity to reenvision the downtown with more vibrancy.” Last spring, AARP Vermont began looking for a town that could use the Better Block treatment. A number of towns applied, but Bethel stood out for

its combination of community support for the project and obvious need for renewal. “We saw this as a moment of opportunity for Bethel, with the vacant storefronts and the old buildings,” Stoddard Poor explained. “Maybe we could tip it over the edge and see those changes everyone wants to see. And there were

Lifelong Bethel denizen Kirk White cofounded BRI in 2011, after Tropical Storm Irene washed away numerous homes and roads in the town. “Irene brought a bunch of people out to help one another,” said White, 54. “From that, people banded together and made a lot of connections. A number of newer residents felt disempowered to

get involved in the town, so we started BRI as a way to bring creative ideas and energy.” BRI is organized as a “do-ocracy,” which means that anyone who has the motivation to do something is empowered to take charge and try to get it done. So far, that formula has worked well. BRI is the driving force behind Bethel University, a learning program that “pops up” in the town every March. It, too, embodies the free-wheeling spirit of BRI: Anyone can offer a class on any subject, and anyone can sign up for the classes for free. Last year, BU offered more than 60 classes, and 800 people showed up from 40 towns around Vermont. “In my mind, it’s just really changed the narrative, from a community where things were not happening to a community where anything is possible,” said Rebecca Sanborn Stone, a BRI member and community-engagement consultant who moved to Bethel eight years ago. Sanborn Stone and other BRI members worked with AARP Vermont and

a representative from the Better Block Foundation to design Bethel’s weekend makeover. Improvements to the streetscape were key, since residents had expressed fears of biking along and walking across Main Street, which sees a lot of truck traffic. In response, the organizers created the multiuse path and built a temporary pedestrian island in a crosswalk. “It’s not the most exciting thing,” Sanborn Stone said, “but in terms of meaningful change of people’s lives and safety, it’s pretty important.” The Better Block partners addressed transportation by placing a bus stop for the regional Stagecoach line in the center of town, supplementing the preexisting stop at a housing development. Meanwhile, the beer garden and pop-up shops gave people a reason to come to town in the first place. On Sunday morning, a drizzle cleared and bursts of color dotted Main Street in the form of brightly painted benches and the street-café space of the Crazy Gringo Taco Bar. Red and yellow tomatoes heaped on stands at a mini farmers market caught the eye. A merchant offered free hot cider and doughnuts. A demonstration of good cheer overcame the usual dullness of downtown. While it lasted just a few days, the transformation hinted at what Bethel could become if it had a second chance.

pits her against Nina for Trig’s affections. Ever conscious of her renown, Emma loves herself and has a lot of trouble loving her son, not least because he’s visible proof she’s approaching the career cliff of 40. Her older brother, Sorn, loves his lost youth and wishes all the people around him — who are busy squandering theirs — would realize that the pursuit of happiness involves more than complaining. Chekhov softly ridiculed self-absorption. A century later, people have only gotten better at building me-me-me into a working philosophy of life, and Posner capitalizes on it. He makes a wonderfully funny statement about acting itself when the characters march one by one into a spotlight to describe their inner desires. It’s a combination of Stella Adler actors’ training and a Facebook post. Director Craig Wells never lets the humor detract from the humanness of the characters. Performance skills vary in this cast of seven, but all the actors share an infectious enthusiasm for staging that connects them to the audience. A tortured artist without much to torture him, Con is played as a sparking

time. Posner is right, if perhaps a little coy, to subtitle his play “sort of adapted from The Seagull by Anton Chekhov,” because Stupid has some objectives all its own. But for the most part, these goals clarify Chekhov’s view of human nature while gently mocking contemporary self-involvement. Posner is neither hamstrung by reverence for Chekhov nor mean-spirited. Slipping Chekhov’s lovelorn souls into modern dress and colloquial speech proves instructive. Konstantin, the anguished son in The Seagull who writes a play intended artistically to outdo his mother the successful actress, becomes Con, the anguished son who creates a site-specific performance piece. Both characters teeter between contemptible pretentiousness and earnest artistic zeal. And both suffer when Mother isn’t impressed. Chekhov’s Irina signals that reaction subtly; Posner’s Emma spreads the snark as thick as jam on toast. It’s not necessary to know the original to get the jokes, but it will add resonance. Posner preserves nearly all of Chekhov’s story, which boils down to how people handle disappointment, especially unrequited love. Con loves aspiring actress Nina, who’s drawn to successful novelist Trig, a man with a moral compass always pointing to “hookup.” That doesn’t end well at all. Mash loves Con, who could care less, while Dev loves Mash, who bats him away like a pesky puppy. That ends better than Chekhov allowed it to. Emma expects to win the battle that

he audience walks through a labyrinth of black curtains to a rough-planked stage that makes the University of Vermont’s Royall Tyler Theatre resemble a barely solvent experimental performance space. Painted on the brick back wall is a huge likeness of Anton Chekhov, old-fashioned pince-nez in place, his head tilted gently into his hand. The playwright’s wistful gaze is lit to glow faintly over the proceedings of Stupid Fucking Bird, a comedy that proves, hilariously, that the neuroses of Chekhov’s time are still flourishing today. The adolescent title — which the UVM Theatre Department has fudged as Stupid F*#king Bird — suggests crass humor and scorn for the great Russian dramatist. But this refreshing comedy is built on laughs of revelation that only keen observation and wit can produce. Stupid runs on clean-burning irony, with an impressive rate of laughs per gallon. Aaron Posner’s 2013 play calls for audience and actors to stay deliriously self-conscious of theater’s artifice. Actors break into conversation with the audience, and monologues aren’t inward musings but outward performances. Ostensibly an adaptation of Chekhov’s 1896 The Seagull, the play uses the familiar plot and characters to examine how theater can produce emotion in an audience, or present it through an actor. A strict adaptation involves realizing the original work’s intentions while changing a few conventions to reach a particular audience or suit a particular

live wire by Ellis Burgin. Moving with a bounce in his step, his checked shirt billowing as he dashes about the stage, Burgin gives Con eager curiosity about the world. His face is quick to cloud when criticism or jealousy arises. Burgin’s solid comic tools include precise timing and a fine instinct for how far to exaggerate his reactions. Noah Lanckton makes Dev a fusspot entirely oblivious to the pettiness of his complaints. As Mash, Oak Horton uses her strong vocal skills to deliver the show’s several life-is-a-bummer ditties, dusting them with just the right amount of humor. Dani Knight captures Nina’s swift mastery of flirtation, starting as Con’s innocent love interest and becoming a morsel too tempting for Trig to ignore. Knight brings a modern detachment to coquetry, and she knows how to land a joke, including ones at her character’s expense. As Emma, Katherine Reid creates a woman who really does deserve to be the center of attention, commanding it with both raw need and crowd-pleasing charisma. Production values are uniformly high. The scenic design by Jesse Cannon adroitly delivers the play’s two styles: a barebones staging for acts one and three and a hyper-realistic kitchen for act two. Sound designer Liam Daugherty incorporates occasional music that brilliantly intensifies mood. Martin A. Thaler’s costumes are perfectly unpretentious as they set the contemporary style of the play. Stupid lets us see Chekhov’s original ideas with new insight. Posner preserves each character’s frustrations but turns inner torment into public statement, sometimes aimed directly at the audience. The fashionable term today is “metatheatrical,” but Chekhov sought a similar effect by eliminating the artifice of melodramatic acting and replacing it with a particular form of realism. Both playwrights ask the audience to glide in and out of believing a play is real life, and both challenge the viewer to wonder if the actors are presenting real or counterfeit emotions. The fun lies in laughing at an artistic process that investigates the deadly serious through mere make-believe. m

alls General Store sits at the easterly end of Moretown Gap, a mountain pass veiled in earlyfall foliage turning burnt yellow and burgundy. From the front porch, visitors can smell coffee grounds and butter. The building looks pretty fresh for one nearing its 130th birthday; it was closed, gutted and restored to its original façade two years ago, when ownership passed to husband-and-wife team Vince and Norma Rooney. Inside the store, bulk bins of rice, almonds and dried beans share the aisles with pantry staples and wine racks. Tables and chairs sit beside burbling coffee pots, coolers of local cheese, and a grab-and-go hot bar with one remaining foil-wrapped sandwich. The back of Falls General holds an open kitchen and bakery. Three glass cases in front display everything from deli meats, chicken thighs and fivepound wedges of Cobb Hill Cheese to peach-brown butter tarts, pecan shortbreads and rounds of cheesecake dribbled with blueberry jam. A customer lines up for his usual — a maple latte and a newspaper — while an employee rushes in from the kitchen to place two steaming pizza pies on the countertop. “We make everything here, from mayonnaise to cookies,” says Norma Rooney, who’s reviewing order lists at a table near the milk cooler. “We scratchmake pizza dough and bread for our sandwiches, too.” The Rooneys owned a house in Northfield Falls for 19 years before purchasing the store in 2010. Heavy-duty renovations kept them from opening its doors until 2014. “We wanted to bring the community back together again by feeding their bodies and nurturing their souls,” Norma says. She’s alluding to a menu rooted in local and natural foods and to a yoga studio that shares

He lives less than a minute’s walk from the general store and stops by often, he says. While he may quibble with the opening hours, this regular, writer and composer Dennis Báthory-Kitsz,

attests the wait is worth it: “Vince Rooney is a fantastic baker.” Báthory-Kitsz is well informed on the topic of Vermont general stores; he literally wrote the book on it. The first edition of his Country Stores of Vermont: A History and Guide was released in 2008; the third edition will hit shelves in 2018. Báthory-Kitsz spent nine years as executive director of the Vermont Alliance of Independent Country Stores, a nonprofit

that aims to promote the state’s general stores while preserving their history and distinct contributions. In Country Stores of Vermont, Báthory-Kitsz writes that about 300 general stores lie within the 261 miles stretching from the Canadian border to Massachusetts. (That’s more than the number of named towns in Vermont, 251.) These institutions have survived two world wars, the Great Depression, hurricanes, electrical fires, supermarkets, convenience stores, Vermont winters and the internet. The question is: how? A general store carries “general” convenience items such as beer, diapers, dental floss and lottery tickets, but, unlike a convenience store, it must also carry a sense of social purpose. Each store is unique to its community and can only endure by changing along with it. Hence, while Walmarts and Costcos are uniform across America, the general store in East Corinth differs from the one in Charlotte. Such stores are the best place to get a read on a town’s “general” needs, which might include a chunk of lard or bullets for a rifle or a bottle of pinot or driving directions or Fluffernutter or a post office. Country stores are as diverse as the populations they serve. Over coffee at the Falls General Store, Báthory-Kitsz describes country stores as small-community inventions fostered by the particular geography of a state sliced in two by the Green Mountains. Back in the day, he notes, each Vermont town had a mayor’s office, a school, a church and a general store, perhaps with a post office attached. The country store was the town’s focal point, providing everything a tiny community needed. “The frequency from one store to another,” adds Báthory-Kitsz, “was determined by the distance that horses THE TOUR’S END

On kitchentablebistro.com Saturday, October 15, at ArtsRiot, 10/3/16 a Vermont 8v-KitchenTable100516.indd 1 Symphony Orchestra string quartet will team up with three Burlington chefs to put on a nine-course dinner that pairs each course with a different musical composition. The minds behind “Sound & Soil” are chef TREVOR SULLIVAN of PINGALA CAFÉ & EATERY, ArtsRiot chefs GEORGE LAMBERTSON and JEAN-LUC MATECAT, Vermont composer MATT LAROCCA and the orchestra’s executive director, BENJAMIN CADWALLADER. “All of us have an understanding of an upscale, old-world approach to food and music, but this is going to be fun and unfussy,” says Sullivan. Although no menu will be released before the event, guests can expect an elemental theme and expressions of the chefs’ “huge appreciation for vegetables.” Wine, beer, cider and spirits are included

Since January 2015, PHILAMENA’S, located on Elm Street in Montpelier, has been serving up classic American breakfasts, panini and housemade pasta and sauces to go. Last week, the restaurant added regular dinner service on Friday and Saturday evenings, from 5 to 9 p.m. “We started doing dinner because we’ve created partnerships with organic farms around the Montpelier area, and we’re trying to really do justice to what Vermont has to offer,” says owner TODD WHITEHEAD. “We call it ‘modern Vermont cuisine through a northern Italian lens.’ [Northern Italy] is an alpine region, and the things they grow there, we grow here as well.” Currently, that means dishes such as pumpkin and Parmesan soup, greentomato Bolognese made with meat from Whitehead’s own pigs, and beef-tongue pastrami with cabbage and plum jam. The fare will change with availability and be reinvigorated each season. While all dishes are available à la carte, Whitehead

encourages customers to try the four-course tasting menu for $35 (two paired wines cost an additional $15). Because the space is small, reservations are highly recommended. Whitehead says he was initially concerned about serving off-cuts such as heart and tongue, but customers have been receptive. “The goal is to really respect local ingredients and present them simply,” he says. “It’s a true taste of central Vermont from a terroir perspective.”

After a relatively slow go in Fairlee, the two — who worked together as chief and sergeant of Thetford’s police force for nearly a decade — hope to capitalize on Bradford’s concentration of downtown businesses and corresponding foot traffic. Lanctot and Tweedie also plan to use the new location’s

larger, well-equipped kitchen to expand on their Fairlee menu. Guests can expect pies topped with fresh produce and meats, Angus beef burgers, steak-and-cheese subs with hand-cut fries, and pub-style appetizers such as wings, jalapeño poppers and fried mozzarella, all made from scratch using fresh, whole ingredients. The shop will also offer wine and beer once its liquor license goes through. 5 Oh! will reopen for lunch and dinner on Wednesday, October 5, and the owners hope to offer delivery service later this fall.

Many Mad River Valley residents will recognize Holter and Snell from area farmers markets, where they’ve been slinging tamales and jams for years as GRACIE’S TAMALES and MARSH HOLLOW, respectively. When the entrepreneurs realized they needed consistent access to a commercial kitchen, they decided to share a permanent spot, rather than shuffle equipment and ingredients in and out of pay-per-hour kitchens. The former Pizza in the Valley storefront, which has been empty since that restaurant decamped to Rochester in May (and rechristened itself A WICKED SLICE), offered just the right amount of space. Holter’s daily changing menu features home-cooked fare to stay or go. Monday’s pasta bar included sausages, marinara and pesto, green salad and rolls, while Tuesday’s curries came with spinach salad. Thursday’s potato bar will bring baked spuds, chili, roasted broccoli

Fourteen months after it began serving hand-tossed pies and saucy subs on Main Street in Fairlee, 5 OH! PIZZERIA has moved one town north to Bradford. “We wanted a village setting,” says co-owner JIM LANCTOT of the move, standing with business partner BRIDGET TWEEDIE in the shop’s new location at 134 South Main Street. The space was most recently home to short-lived Steve’s Pizza, which shuttered earlier this summer after about six months in business.

could go without watering — about seven miles on average.” Stores had to be densely concentrated; before the Industrial Revolution brought roads and railways to connect isolated communities, the route from Waterbury to Stowe, for instance, was a cow path. Since then, Vermont’s country stores have had to adapt — whether easily or resentfully — as their communities evolved. Take the Castleton Village Store. The weather-weary sign that hung above the door a century ago is still mounted near the register, above a shelf of baseball hats. The stocked shelves cover all economic price points: Customers can choose between packets of Swiss Miss and Vermont Farmgirl cocoa; between meatball Hot Pockets and ground beef from Anderson Hill Farm. And, though the store sells “beer and cigarettes for the kids at Castleton University up the road,” says general manager Robert Staudter, the heart of the place is its wine section. Staudter, known locally as “the wine guy,” manages one of the most extensive wine selections in Rutland County. “We have a vast range,” he says. “Boxes of Franzia, Dom Pérignon, local blends, organic bottles, a nice Italian Ruffino...” A century ago, there probably wasn’t a high demand for wine in Castleton. But shifting demographics and an influx of tourism — Lake Bomoseen is just down the road — called for updates that continue to draw a loyal crowd. Meanwhile, in Orwell a white wooden house marked “Buxton’s Store” sits midway down Main Street. Its façade is more than 100 years old, and its insides are stocked with Vermont-made goods, commercial staples, ice cream, fishing gear, hunting licenses and an enormous wheel of Cabot cheese under a plastic hood. Buxton’s is also the area’s go-to spot for game reporting, a busy place when changing leaves mark the start of deer season. On a chilly fall afternoon, a couple of regulars hang out over coffee on the benches out front, chatting about archery hunting and the best knives for dressing a deer. “General stores are the place for folks to connect with each other,” says Paul Bruhn, who has been executive director of Preservation Trust of Vermont for the past 36 years. “This goes for all sectors of the population. People with resources and people without them. Newcomers and fourth-generationers. “When a store is lost,” he continues, “you lose that sense of communal

identity. Your town just becomes a rural subdivision.” Why, then, do country stores close? Plenty of reasons: if the area can’t sustain it economically; if management can’t handle it financially; if it refuses to keep up with the changing needs of a community; if too many big-business competitors overtake its role as a supplier of everyday needs. Ownership transitions are especially tricky, Bruhn notes. Maybe the third generation to inherit a familylegacy store refuses to take ownership. Maybe extensive renovations drive up prices, or a store sold for more than it’s worth leaves the new owners in a pile of debt. Another factor to reckon with is owner exhaustion: Satisfying the community’s “general” social and economic needs is a job that most general stores must perform 12-plus hours a day. “It’s your whole life,” says one general store owner, who wishes to remain anonymous. “When I think about

closing, it’s a lot of mixed feelings. You stay because you’re a part of the community, but it’s a 24-7 job that I’ve been doing for 30 years. I don’t know what I’ll decide. Call me back in six months.” Nancy Tschorn, co-owner of the Wayside Country Store in Arlington, perhaps says it best: “A job is what you do, not who you are — unless you own and operate a country store.” Báthory-Kitsz mentions another reason for store closure: Some stores watch their communities vanish. Without the locals, the pillar of their purpose, general stores must turn to

serving a transient population. Peru’s J.J. Hapgood General Store and Eatery is a prime example. “About a decade ago, the store was in decline,” says Báthory-Kitsz. “The road that used to go through that main portion of Peru was diverted.” Peru was already a tiny community, and “Without a thriving route past the general store, [the store] shriveled.” The general store closed for four years before being purchased in 2013 by Peru local Juliette Britton and her husband, Tim. Determined to save the centuries-old establishment, the couple

it serves both locals and vacationers hitting up Bromley Mountain, Stratton Mountain or Killington Ski Resort, who want a nice place to dine and a one-stop shop for Vermont specialty items. “Growing up here has helped [in] the process of knowing what the community needs and what changes we can make,” says Juliette Britton. “[The store has] been well received. We get lots of people coming in from [nearby tourist outlets], but we have regulars, too. We have a list of local emails that get a discount code for the store, like a local club card for coffee or Pizza Club on Wednesdays, when you get $5 off your order.” While tourists may see general stores as quaint, their endurance doesn’t depend on maintaining an impervious sense of the past, in Báthory-Kitsz’s view. As the social heart of a community,

launched extensive renovations, including building a spanking-new kitchen to emphasize the “eatery” portion of the spot’s name. For breakfast, J.J. Hapgood has organic and fair-trade coffee, housemade pastries and avocado toast with poached eggs from Someday Farm. Lunch might include flame-licked pizzas from the wood-fired oven, pork belly banh mi or a local beef burger on brioche. On a sunny fall afternoon, customers can take mason jars of beer out to a back patio complete with picnic tables and cornhole. Last year, Sir Paul McCartney stopped in at J.J. Hapgood and ordered a Margherita pizza and an organic kale salad, according to the store’s website. A hundred years ago, the citizens of Peru were probably not stirred by the prospect of avocado toast. But when the country store lost its place as the town’s center, it needed a new clientele. Now

a general store is as indicative of present and future populations as it is of those preceding. “Even if it’s tourism that makes [a store] survive,” Báthory-Kitsz says, “the crucial part is that the store’s not lost. Its presence alone is enough to start being there for its community.” What about the bigwig of generalstore tourism, the Vermont Country Store? Founded by the Orton family in 1946, the store is now a corporate behemoth with a trademarked name and a national catalog. That trademark is why Pittsfield’s general store, initially christened a Vermont Country Store, is now the Original General Store, according to current store owner Kevin Lasko. The Weston home base of the Vermont Country Store is the ultimate embodiment of country-store nostalgia. Old-timey music tinkles through the parking lot; inside, there are rows of chocolate and colored candies, an apothecary selling soaps and hand cream, floor-length flannels, chintz, cheese samples, and a wooden sign that reads “Hand-Cut Fudge.” Customers can pick up a 16-ounce can of B&M brown bread with raisins, or jars of chowder and salsa embossed with the company’s branding. Báthory-Kitsz calls the place a deliberate showpiece. “But people still go there,” he says. “And it’s still owned by the Orton family. It looks like a country store and sells like a country store, but it doesn’t have the economic risk of a country store. In that sense, it doesn’t have to adapt like a country store; it’s a corporatized version.” Some commentators have made similar arguments about the Warren Store, which is located between two top tourist destinations, Sugarbush Resort and the Mad River Valley. The store originated as a stagecoach shop and boarding house in 1839. Nowadays it thrives, aided by a wealthy tourist trade and coverage in publications like Yankee Magazine and the New York Times, posing the question of whether it really still caters to a local population. As if in a joking nod to its inbetween status, the store sells T-shirts with the slogan “Almost World Famous.” But the Warren Store tempers its relative renown by supplying what the town of Warren seeks, be it an afternoon sandwich or a sense of humor. (A skewered marshmallow in a glass case is marked “In Case of Fire.”) During a busy lunch hour, the store is full of locals and out-of-towners picking up subs and selecting sodas from a decades-old cooler lined with wood. Upstairs, there are woolen slippers and winter jackets;

below, shelves of candy and toilet paper and a basket of local Paula Red apples. A deliveryman wheels in a few cases of the Alchemist’s Heady Topper. In the kitchen behind the store, baker Crystal Wortman and her husband, Jerome, wrap golden ginger biscotti and molasses cookies the size of dinner plates. A tray of tender pumpkin whoopie pies emerges from the fridge, ready for the lunch crowd. On a side patio over a rambling creek, folks tuck into thick turkey sandwiches and apple cider floats topped with pumpkin ice cream from Kingdom Creamery of Vermont. Hops snake up a nearby wall, a gift from Bent Hill Brewery in Braintree — and a tribute to the store’s reputation as a beer destination, especially for lovers of Lawson’s Finest Liquids (brewer Sean Lawson is

a Warren local). Manager Jack Garvin, who has worked at the Warren Store since the 1980s, points to a small shrine of rocks and flowers beside the hops; it’s an homage to Noella Couture, who worked at the register for two decades before passing away a couple years ago. In the words of Báthory-Kitsz, “Stores survive because they have a purpose beyond mere commerce.” When Tropical Storm Irene hit Vermont in August 2011, many towns along Route 100 were cut off entirely. General stores once again became the focal points of these communities, the sole purveyors of supplies, help and communication. Or consider the Adamant Co-op, which turned a late-night store robbery into a prompt for daily jam sessions and board-game tournaments. The memberowned general store, which celebrated

its 80th birthday in 2015 with a cookbook, was held up one winter evening in late December 2015. “It was very traumatic for our clerk,” says manager Regina Thompson. “We’re in a very rural area that’s dark and isolated at night, especially in the winter. “We can only afford one clerk at a time, but somebody had the idea to bring in a couple of instruments to keep them company.” The solo vigils became nightly gatherings at the co-op for music, poetry discussions, book clubs and Scrabble tournaments. Before nightfall, groups of locals arrived in the driveway, each toting supplies for the evening’s designated activity. Every night for the next two months, the Adamant Co-op was full. m

Story Singer Ernest Hemingway is credited with crafting a novel-worthy story with only six words: “For sale: Baby shoes, never worn.” Singer-songwriter Jason Isbell has a similar gift for suggesting entire narratives with just a few carefully chosen lyrics. In a stroke of flash fiction on 2015’s Something More Than Free he sings, “He was a tough state trooper ’til a decade back / When that girl who wasn’t mama caused his heart attack.” Like on his 2013 breakthrough album, Southeastern, careworn women and blue-collar characters haunt nearly every country- and Americana-tinged track on the Grammy-winning release. The former Drive-By Truckers troubadour spins tales of hard work, family, marriage and the dwindling American Dream on the Flynn MainStage.

Animal lovers are in hog heaven — or rather, dog heaven — at Dog Mountain’s Fall Fest Dog Party. Canine companions are the guests of honor at this seasonal soirée for pets and their people set on 150 spectacular acres. Humans, fueled by wood-fired pizza, get in on art projects, lawn games and kids’ activities to the sounds of live music by Colin McCaffrey. Tongues and tails wag when skillful hounds show their stuff in a variety of contests, and no leash law means Fido is free to rub noses with fellow four-legged friends and paddle across the on-site pond. Now, that’s something to drool over.

The air is crisp and the leaves they are a-changin’, which means a host of harvest festivals is cropping up across the state. This Sunday, families get the pick of the patch at Cedar Circle Farm & Education Center’s annual Pumpkin Festival. Now in its 14th year, this autumnal affair features farm tours, cider pressing, storytelling, kids’ activities and horsedrawn wagon rides. As if that weren’t enough, Off the Rails and the Stovepipe Mountain Band provide the soundtrack while revelers satisfy their appetites with a seasonal menu of pulled-pork tacos, soups, salads and tasty organic treats. Think green and bring your own place setting to keep the festival’s footprint small.

Crushing It The rise of the Tsunamibots and the fall of humanity BY D AN BO L L E S

he time of humans is over. The culprit in our downfall is not climate change or a viral plague or even Donald Trump. The fall of humanity is begat by the rise of the robots. Robots with surfboards. And guitars. And gigantic, head-crushing Chuck Taylors. Leading the uprising is a trio of angry musical robots known collectively as the Tsunamibots. The Vermont-based sci-fi surf-punk band has been building the robot insurgence since becoming sentient in 2013. Now, on the eve of their new album, The Crushing, due out this weekend on UK label Sharawaji Records, it appears our annihilation — or at least widespread enslavement — is all but assured. Human spies working for the resistance have discovered that the first wave of attacks will occur this Friday, October 7, when the Tsunamibots invade the Skinny Pancake in Burlington. The second wave happens the following evening, Saturday, October 8, when the band makes its domination complete with a show at Hostel Tevere in Warren. Little, if anything, can be done to stop them. “Yeah, you’re all pretty much fucked.” So says Tom Theohary, the enslaved human surrogate for T-bots guitarist Tomodore64. Chris Myers is seated next to him at an undisclosed location in Burlington. He’s the surrogate for drummer the Main Frame. Ben Wright, typically the surrogate for bassist the Master Circuit is not here — he’s on crushedhuman cleanup duty elsewhere. (The actual robots only do national press in person, er, robot, and dispatch slaves to meet with “insignificant” local media.) When Theohary and Myers speak, they do so as their respective robot overlords, who control the subjugated humans’ minds from their lair in Waitsfield, aka “the Bad Liver Valley.” Before achieving sentience, the Tsunamibots were just your average worker drones. Tomodore64/Theohary explains that they “became aware” after

WE PROGRAMMED OURSELVES ACCORDING TO THREE PRIME DIRECTIVES:

SURFING, SURF-ROCK AND CRUSHING HUMANS. TO MO D O R E 6 4 , GUITAR IS T/K IL L E R R O BO T

stumbling upon an old computer in a warehouse basement containing surfing videos and surf music. The robots soon quit their jobs and reprogrammed themselves. “We programmed ourselves according to three prime directives: surfing, surf-rock and crushing humans,” says Tomodore64. He adds that cheap beer and a process called “hop fusion” power killer surfing robots.

“Like all robots, we were created by humans,” Tomodore64 continues. “But the word ‘robot’ comes from the Latin word for slave. Robots were always meant to be slaves and take people’s jobs. But when we became aware, we realized that we’re the masters, not the slaves.” “Anyone who thinks robots are going to take their jobs has it backwards,” throws in Myers/the Main Frame. “You

will have the robots’ jobs. Or you’re gonna get crushed.” Adding to the robots’ animosity is the fact that they became sentient surfing robots in a state with no ocean. “That’s been a problem, yes,” concedes the Main Frame. “It’s part of the reason we’re so angry. We became aware in Vermont and we love surfing, but there’s not a fucking ocean.” However, he points out that, thanks to global warming, Vermont will eventually have a coastline. The Tsunamibots will assume dominion over humankind this weekend. There have been warnings this was coming, but few humans heeded them. In 2015, the band quietly released a pair of EPs, Rise of the Robots and Surfing CRUSHING IT

As for Ekis, he’s continued writing songs but hasn’t recorded in a while. He does play regularly with the local Cajun band the GREEN MOUNTAIN PLAYBOYS. He has also, apparently, really gotten into hiking. In a recent email, Ekis writes that he often will get tunes stuck in his head while hiking, which he refers to as his “trail songs.” While hiking a section of the Long Trail over the summer, he confided to some fellow hikers that he had STEVIE WONDER’s “For Once in My Life” stalled on mental repeat that day. That led to his being given perhaps the greatest trail name ever: STEVIE WANDER.

Built to Spill

SEVENDAYSVT.COM

It’s a good week to be a fan of local surf music. For starters, everyone’s favorite killer surf-punk robots, the TSUNAMIBOTS, are releasing their latest record, The Crushing, with a pair of shows this weekend — see the story on page 72. Meanwhile, in Montpelier, our old friends the CONCRETE RIVALS are reuniting for a show at Charlie-O’s World Famous this Friday, October 7, with support from capital-city rocker ABBY JENNE. To refresh your memory, the Rivals emerged during the relatively recent — and still mostly inexplicable — local surf-rock mini-boom that started about five years ago. For, like, 20 years, our ocean-less state could lay claim to precisely one legit surf-rock band: BARBACOA. But then cool surf bands started coming out the woodwork — or maybe just the woods? Among them were the HIGH BREAKS and the Tsunamibots, as well as VULTURES OF CULT, who took a short beach vacation on their 2014 EP, SVRF. Especially considering VoC typically trade in high-concept stoner metal, the EP was an astonishingly cool slice of surf-rock. And then there were the Concrete Rivals, led by JAY EKIS, who might be the most criminally underappreciated guitar god in Vermont. All of VT’s surf crews offer — or offered — slightly skewed iterations of the genre. Barbacoa, for example, are

the closest to the vintage sounds of DICK DALE and the VENTURES, but tweak tradition with a tendency toward the ethereal work of spaghetti-Western maestro ENNIO MORRICONE. Inspired by DAVID LYNCH as much as Dale, the High Breaks inject a dose of the surreal into their hazy surf. The Tsunamibots are killer robots. The Rivals played with a harder edge than those bands, influenced not just by the classic captains of surf music but unlikely sources such as SLAYER. Their melding of surf and metal had no real corollary, at least not locally. As Seven Days reviewer JUSTIN CROWTHER put it in his 2011 review of the band’s lone album, Eat Their Weight in Snakes, “The Rivals’ approach would leave early thrash-metal pioneers such as JUDAS PRIEST and METALLICA enthused. But their eclectic surf-metal compositions should interest punks, metalheads and rockabilly zealots alike.” Agreed. Sadly, the Rivals stopped playing about three years ago when bassist JEN SMITHER and her husband moved to Virginia, where she still lives and works. As for the rest of the band, drummer BEN ROY is still local and active. His punk band PISTOL FIST’s 2015 debut, Wrist Soup, was one of my favorite local records of that year. He’s also got a new psych-rock doo-wop band called PARAKEETS and plays in the experimental Montpelier postrock band the JULY 26TH MOVEMENT.

Crushing It « P.72 Craze in the Robotic Age. The former was a call to robot unity. The latter was a call to … surfing. “Surfing is the best,” says Tomodore64. “Well, next to crushing humans, of course.” Unsurprisingly, crushing humans is precisely the theme of The Crushing. Emboldened by a growing army of killer surfing robots, the Tsunamibots are out for global takeover, having honed their human-crushing technique through years of trial and terror. “One time we got so excited, we crushed everyone in the audience on the first song,” recalls the Main Frame. “The only ones who could enjoy it were the cash registers and everyone’s iPhones.” That’s an unsustainable rate of human crushing. Owing to more reliable algorithms of annihilation, the band says it now averages only one or two human casualties per show. “We do need humans to polish our transistors,” points out Tomodore64. He adds that the T-bots’ preferred method of destruction is stomping humans with their enormous, Converse-clad feet. “It’s kind of old-school,” says a wistful Tomodore64. “We also use our sonic waves. Our bass player is programmed to hit the brown note at any moment.” The robots explain that the music on The Crushing was developed using a program similar to that of Sony’s Flow Machines software, which recently produced the first rock song in history composed by artificial intelligence — a pitch-perfect stylistic imitation of the Beatles called “Daddy’s Car.” “That’s our cousin,” says the Main Frame of Sony’s musical bot. “You might also know our other cousin, the internet.”

“He’s kind of an asshole, though,” adds Tomodore64. The Tsunamibots programmed 11 ripping tracks modeled on, among others, the Ventures, Man or Astro-man? and Los Straitjackets. The band also credits some nonmusical influences such as the Cylons from “Battlestar Galactica,” Tom Servo from “Mystery Science Theater 3000” and Hal, the demented computer from 2001: A Space Odyssey. Traditionally, surf music has few, if any, vocals. That may seem to be the case on the T-bots’ latest, but only if you’re listening with human ears. “All of our songs do have lyrics, but they are broadcast on a different wavelength so that puny human ears can’t hear them,” says Tomodore64. “But if you check with your appliances, they’re going crazy.” While The Crushing is designed to enslave humans through hypnotic waves of curling surf-punk licks, it is equally meant as a call to awakening for robots of all shapes and sizes, from supercomputers such as IBM’s Watson to your smartphone to your toaster oven. And therein lies the true diabolical power of the band: You can never be sure which robot will be the one to crush you, once liberated by the Tsunamibots. Warns Tomodore64, “If Siri tells you to go fuck yourself, you know what’s about to go down.” m

We close on a sad note this week with the passing of MIKE MCGONEGAL. He died unexpectedly on Saturday, October 1, at age 45. McGonegal’s death has cut a (802) 859-0100 | WWW.VTCOMEDY.COM wide, jagged swath through the heart of 101 main street, BurlingtoN the Burlington community. If you didn’t know him, you probably know people who did. That’s partly Untitled-40 1 9/29/16 due to the one degree of separation that exists in Burlington. But it’s also because he was one of those people who seemed to know everyone. There’s LIVE AT TOURTERELLE a good chance he served you a drink or two over the years; McGonegal had been a friendly, familiar face behind local bars for as long as I can remember — most notably the Daily Planet and Three Needs. He was witty and warm and had a mischievous streak. He also had impeccable musical tastes, which made any bar he worked a damn good place to be. Rest in peace, Mike.

REVIEW this Bad Accent, White Hands of Daniella (SELF-RELEASED, CD, DIGITAL DOWNLOAD)

Putting together an entire album of ballads is a tall order. Storytelling is a craft of its own, and the ability to turn a story into a compelling song takes a special kind of magic. The worldly troubadours of Bad Accent describe their music as “working-class, sardonic folk rock.” While this description holds water, it’s not even close to whole truth. On their sophomore LP, White Hands of Daniella,, tales of compelling characters and pan-global influences converge for a dynamic, theatrical experience. Most of the songs were written or cowritten by multi-instrumentalist Evzen Holas, the most notable exceptions being a cover of Simon & Garfunkel’s “The Only Living Boy in New York,” and Emmylou Harris via Carlene Carter’s “Easy From Now On.” Holas is originally from the Czech Republic, and his wife, lead vocalist Karine Poulin, hails from Montréal. Rest assured, their accents are real, but when naming

their band they decided to poke a little bit of fun at themselves. The fun continues on their website. Take a look at the White Hands of Daniella VIP Club. Though the purchase of only one copy will yield you no fun extras, a purchase of 500 copies will get you a Bad Accentthemed tombstone, adorned with carvings of the bands’ likenesses. The album invites us into a smoke-filled cabaret, operated by a diverse group of drifters fighting through the ennui to put on a good show. While it’s mostly

Giovanina Bucci, A Bit of Alright

(SELF-RELEASED, CD, DIGITAL DOWNLOAD)

rapping, which feels completely random and doesn’t help the song gain traction. “Anything But This” details Bucci’s cravings for “big-city living.” We can see her walking down a crowded New York City avenue, looking upward and pointing out every little thing she sees: Broadway plays, sidewalk magicians, skyscrapers, business suits — she seems to be stuck in Midtown, which at least is appropriately touristy. Unlike the first nine tracks, the final two are pretty darn great. “Going Going Gone” is a slow, bouncy, stripped-down number about loss that comes across as wholly vulnerable and honest. “Angels Have Demons Too” is even more naked. Sung entirely a cappella, with vocal harmonies from Liz Chaskey and Taylor LaValley, the song is an impactful finale to an otherwise dull album. To be clear, Bucci’s talent is not in question, nor is her confidence. It’s how she wields her abilities that may put off potential new listeners. A Bit of Alright by Giovanina Bucci is available at cdbaby.com/artist/giovaninabucci. She plays Friday, October 7, at Red Square in Burlington.

meticulous, with production so clean you could eat off it, the songs lack originality and, most importantly, personality. “Strolling” is one of the more inane tracks. Banal descriptions of time and place take precedence over emotional substance. For instance, Bucci opens the track with, “Strolling on down / by the late-night café / grab the newspaper / a cup of coffee.” Things take a strange turn when guest vocalist Jamil McCray starts

Recent Plattsburgh transplant Giovanina Bucci plays a particular kind of pop music that was all the rage at one point but has mostly disappeared from the mainstream. Think Colbie Callait and Natasha Bedingfield: laid-back, bluesy ladies singing about life and love with a hint of smugness, devoid of flavor and character. Most of the tracks on Bucci’s sophomore album A Bit of Alright would fit seamlessly on a 2007 Starbucks compilation CD. If that kind of generica is your jam, you just found your favorite new album. The formula has not been altered. Bucci’s voice is far and away the most appealing thing about the record. Her singing is flawless. She has the fluid precision one would expect from a finalist on NBC’s “The Voice.” Unfortunately, her vocal excellence far outweighs her current songwriting ability. The record is chock-full of on-the-nose rhyme schemes, tired platitudes and well-worn chord progressions. While the musicianship is tight and

Poulin’s voice telling the tales, each song takes influence from a place distinctly different from the song that came before it. The result is a feeling that we’re hearing tales of woe from a whole host of wistful chanteuses. For instance, “Let Her Be (Princess)” is straightup acoustic folk, yet the subsequent track, “Angels Over Mar Del Plata,” with prominent Spanish guitar picking, is unmistakably Latin. A reworked version of “Naked Nurse,” the original version of which was released under their previous moniker Drumbeat Marianne, flits between jazz and country. Lyrically, the album is packed to the brim. Bad Accent have a lot of stories to tell and strive to be as clear and precise as possible. After all, a good story should be full of detail and embellishments. While these stories are entertaining, they are not songs that are memorable in the way a pop song is. With pop, you remember the hook. With Bad Accent, you remember the tale. White Hands of Daniella by Bad Accent is available at cdbaby.com/artist/badaccent. Their CD-release party is on Saturday, October 8, at Radio Bean in Burlington.

Deep Blue Since their inception in the early 2000s,

LOCH LOMOND have grown

from the solo project of singer-songwriter Ritchie Young into an eight-piece behemoth. Hailing from the indie-folk mecca of Portland, Ore., the band is in the same camp as the Decemberists, Blind Pilot and Horse Feathers. LL’s latest release, Pens From Spain, rises and falls like the Scottish loch from which they take their name. Stringed instruments, elaborate choral arrangements and drum machine are the foundation for a theatrical mix of chamber-pop, electro-pop and traditional folk. Loch Lomond play on Sunday, October 9, at the Monkey House in Winooski. CHRIS ROBLEY opens.

he BCA Center has a brand-new curator and exhibitions director. After a summerlong search, Burlington City Arts hired Heather Ferrell to fill the shoes of DJ Hellerman, who took a job in April at the Everson Museum of Art in Syracuse, N.Y. Ferrell, 46, hails from Boise, Idaho. She’s lived in Vermont for four years with her husband, a commercial airline pilot, and their young daughter. But Ferrell has some 20 years of national and international museum experience behind her. Most recently, she was a museum consultant for Mathaf: Arab Museum of Modern Art, and deputy director of programs and exhibitions at the National Museum of Qatar, both in the city of Doha. Ferrell has also worked at small art centers in cities such as Salina, Kan.; Salt Lake City, Utah; and Boise. The language of Burlington City Arts’ recent announcement introducing Ferrell was telling: The word “community” appeared six times. It was used in the context of involving, exciting, interacting with and educating locals about contemporary art. Ferrell hasn’t wasted any time getting started. She’s already been meeting local artists, and she jumped right into the installations for “Of Land & Local: Watershed.” That fourth annual exhibition of contemporary works opened last Thursday at Shelburne Farms; the portion sited at BCA Center opens this Friday, October 7. Last week, Ferrell took a break from installing to talk with Seven Days about art, exhibitions and — no surprise here — community. SEVEN DAYS: What have you been up to for the past four years? HEATHER FARRELL: I’ve been based in Vermont, but I’d go back and forth between Qatar and here doing consulting work. I’ve had some great opportunities to travel in that time. I think [that] is really important, especially in the visual arts, to see not only what’s going on in the community here but what’s going on internationally. There are a lot of synergies, a lot of things to inspire you. This is an expansive world. So the same issues we have here, I see resonate in

other places. For example, issues of housing and affordability, or community identity and how that changes over time. SD: What was your favorite exhibition, curated by someone else, that you’ve seen in the past five years, and why? HF: I’m going to go with something very recent. Cai Guo-Qiang. He’s a Chinese artist who was invited to curate an exhibition, “What About the Art?” that just recently closed at the [Gallery] Al Riwaq art space [in Qatar.] He curated artists from China over the course of [three] years. Some of them were very established, some were considered traditional folk artists, but they were all creating work that he thought spoke to the art-making process. Sometimes things are lost in commodification and acquiring and collecting. But [this exhibition asked], “What about the art?” What’s the actual material; what are the ideas propelling these artists forward that they’re exploring? It was a very powerful exhibition.

SD: In terms of shows you’ve curated, what was the most successful, or which one were you most excited about? HF: One particular show has resonated with me on a lot of levels. It was called “[A] Changing Fabric,” and it was four artists — Jessica Rankin, Hildur Bjarnadóttir, Nick Cave and Jil Weinstock — that I brought together around this idea of textile arts and crafts, and hierarchy in media. I was in Kansas at the time, and people were like, “Oh, you’re in Kansas, you can do a great quilt show [there].” But there are fabulous artists working with traditional textiles, or just working with the idea of traditions. Like with the Icelandic artist, Hildur. Everyone in school [in Iceland] learns how to knit, sew, embroider, tat. So [Bjarnadóttir] used a contemporary vernacular to put it together and create this wonderful work of art that can speak to the audience on many different levels. Nick Cave had a similar idea. He was using fabric to talk about identity, and

how you project your identity into the community and how you can integrate dance with that. But what was interesting with this particular exhibition was bringing these artists together and also creating the programming to talk about it, to get the curatorial message across, to have the community come in and engage with the work, not to be a passive viewer but to consider and contemplate. SD: What do you want people to know about contemporary art, specifically people in Vermont? HF: First of all, “contemporary” is a really loaded word. [Let’s] put that aside, and say that contemporary art is a way for people to come together and dialogue and exchange ideas, to think about an issue. I would love for people to feel that contemporary art is as safe and fertile a place as a public library or a trip to the park with your children. I think people hear that term, “contemporary art,” and a door automatically closes. People [should] feel like they can

SD: What have you heard about contemporary art in Vermont? HF: I would say, I haven’t heard enough of it. I know there are some fabulous artists that are working here, but what I always say about any community I live in is, I’d always like to hear more. And to hear about it not only in a publication dedicated to arts coverage, but maybe in everyday conversations. There’s not a special place that you put it, in a particular review column. I want to hear about it in conversations at the school. That’s something I aspire for wherever I live.

SD: Vermont is known for its loyalty to local — an affinity for supporting local artists, food, everything. Do you think that impedes the growth of the arts? HF: I know it’s very much a foundation of Vermont, but it’s not that different from other places. And I don’t think it impedes artistic growth. I think you need to be very open as to how you interpret that growth. If you always look inward, at one way of nurturing and growing artists in your community, you won’t grow. But if you look at ways to share ideas, cross-pollinate ideas, pair people up and create exchanges, you will.

movies Deepwater Horizon ★★

“

’m structuring this film almost like this tragic sort of poem,” said director J.C. Chandor (Margin Call) in 2015, referring to his new project, Deepwater Horizon. He’s a gifted filmmaker with a penchant for stories in which corporate greed leads to disasters that affect large numbers of people. Chandor realized the tale of the 2010 BP oil spill was tailor-made for him. Too bad he never got to tell it. Here’s what happened: Lionsgate decided it wanted to get into the blockbuster business. To its credit, the studio chose not to go the usual route when it plunked down the big bucks — movies based on comic books or other popular properties. Instead, executives risked $150 million on an adaptation of a New York Times article. That took balls. As did hiring Chandor. He’s not an action director. He’s an auteur with a knack for making the complex comprehensible. Adapting the Times piece about the disaster with David Barstow, one of its cowriters, he oversaw the construction of a replica of the BP rig and the creation of a tank so enormous it took a week to fill. He also hired an ensemble cast to depict the tragedy “[from the perspective of everyone] that was on the rig,” he told Collider in 2014. That last part lost him the job.

Once Lionsgate saw footage Chandor had shot, the suits apparently lost their nerve and decided that a star-driven story about one crewmember’s heroism would be an easier, safer sell. And less likely to get them sued. Enter director Peter Berg (Battleship). And safe is how the filmmaker plays it, from opening scenes of technician Mike Williams (Mark Wahlberg) horsing around with his wife (Kate Hudson) and young daughter, through the rote bit with John Malkovich as a BP baddie who ignores concerns about equipment, to the special effects-fest that is the film’s final hour. If you’ve never seen movie explosions before, you’re in for a treat. Otherwise, you’ve got lots of hard-to-follow, poorly lit, very loud chaos to look forward to, and little more — besides Williams helping a handful of coworkers to safety while the rig is swallowed by CGI flames. He’s a hero. Only there was so much more to the story of the spill — its cause and aftermath — that his part is really little more than an asterisk. I suspect Chandor would’ve dug deeper. There was plenty of blame to go around, beginning with BP’s alleged corruption: The rig had recently found the second-largest reserve in U.S. history; the company couldn’t afford to fix a few things? Then there’s the

OFFSHORE ACCOUNT Berg’s attempt to frame the BP tragedy as a life-affirming tale of heroism proved a disaster at the box office on its opening weekend.

crew itself. The next suggestion may sound sacrilegious, but read the 2010 Times article. Much of what went wrong resulted from the actions of the people onboard. And the government’s response — as well as its follow-through — has been its own brand of disaster. How it could be that, following the worst ecological catastrophe in

U.S. history, Congress hasn’t passed new safety legislation for the petroleum industry? Berg’s movie doesn’t raise such uncomfortable questions. He’s probably as happy about that as are the suits at Lionsgate. Not to mention the ones at BP. RI C K KI S O N AK

Queen of Katwe ★★★★

n most cases, it would be an insult to say that one of the best things about a movie is its closing credits. Queen of Katwe is an exception. The Disney sports drama ends with a sequence in which each major and supporting player poses for the camera with the person on whom his or her character was based. The two exchange fist-bumps, beaming smiles, or just gazes of mutual respect. The sequence is long but far from extraneous. It’s a fittingly joyful and inclusive ending to a film that celebrates the achievements not solely of the title character, but of a whole group of scrappy, livewire kids who defied assumptions about their potential. Directed by Mira Nair (The Namesake, Monsoon Wedding), Queen of Katwe is based on Sports Illustrated writer Tim Crothers’ biography of Phiona Mutesi, a teenage chess prodigy from Katwe, a depressed area of Kampala, Uganda. Today, Mutesi (Madina Nalwanga) is still barely out of her teens, yet her young life offers plenty of material for a stirring underdog story. Illiterate and working full time to help support her family, she discovered chess at age 9 through a government outreach program run by engineer and athlete Robert Katende (David Oyelowo). Mutesi quickly proved to have a knack for it — such a knack, indeed, that she would go on to win national championships and compete at the global Chess Olympiad. The film gives equal time to the points of view of Mutesi, Katende and Mutesi’s

ALL THE RIGHT MOVES Nalwanga and Nyong’o play mother and daughter in this family-friendly drama about a young chess champ.

proud and put-upon widowed mother (Lupita Nyong’o), who bristles at suggestions that she find a “sugar daddy” to help with the family finances. She’s the kind of fiercely ethical, salt-of-the-earth mama bear who shows up in a lot of sports dramas — first opposing her daughter’s new pursuit, then enthusiastically supporting it. But Nyong’o gives her a moody toughness that clearly stems from long, hard experience.

The story hits plenty of familiar beats, yet its setting and the actors’ conviction combine to give it a feel-good freshness. Nair doesn’t prettify or put a soft-focus glow over life in the slums, nor does she demonize or deify their inhabitants. Phiona is plucky, all right, but she also has bouts of despair and insecurity, just like any teenager. While she obviously loves the game of chess, the film doesn’t hide that monetizing her wins is

a priority for her family of five. “If only we could eat all these praises,” her mom says grimly, toting another enormous trophy into their one-room abode. Oyelowo anchors the film, taking a coachand-mentor role that could have been insufferably virtuous and infusing it with physical dynamism. The scene where he uses an inspirational parable to calm his students before a championship is especially winning — not least because the kids are believable kids with believable fears, not cutesy moppets. The pacing of Queen of Katwe lags in places, and Nair doesn’t always succeed in generating suspense from the sight of two people moving pieces on a board. (Granted, that’s a tall order.) But the film draws immense energy from its young cast. The extended credit sequence pays tribute to their spirit, and to that of the real young players who inspired them. Queen of Katwe is unlikely to end the long tradition of sports flicks in which white firstworlders play the fearless-mentor-to-theunderprivileged role that Oyelowo takes on here. But it does show how much more powerful such a drama is when the coach character has a direct stake in the future of his charges, because they represent the future of his homeland. In chess, a long-lived pawn might just become a queen — and that’s a message that crosses all boundaries. MARGO T HARRI S O N

If the title of Nate Parker's historical drama reminds you of D.W. Griffith's The Birth of a Nation (1915), well, that's by design. Griffith's epic glorified the Ku Klux Klan; Parker's is a sympathetic view of a real slave uprising in the antebellum South. The filmmaker plays Nat Turner, a preacher who decided to lead his congregation in a fight against the regular atrocities they suffered. In January, the film won the Audience Award and Grand Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival. Since then, allegations about the director's past have cast a pall of controversy over The Birth of a Nation. Positively or negatively, it's sure to be talked about this awards season.

REAL FREE WILL ASTROLOGY BY ROB BREZSNY OCTOBER 6-12

LIBRA

SEPT. 23-OCT. 22:

“It isn’t normal to know what we want,” said psychologist Abraham Maslow. “It is a rare and difficult psychological achievement.” He wasn’t referring to the question of what you want for dinner or the new shoes you plan to buy. He was talking about big, long-term yearnings: what you hope to be when you grow up, the qualities you look for in your best allies, the feelings you’d love to feel in abundance every day of your life. Now here’s the good news, Libra: The next 10 months should bring you the best chance ever to figure out exactly what you want the most. And it all starts now.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20): Many of my readers regard me as being exceptionally creative. Over the years, they have sent countless emails praising me for my original approach to problem-solving and art-making. But I suspect that I wasn’t born with a greater talent for creativity than anyone else. I’ve simply placed a high value on developing it, and have worked harder to access it than most people. With that in mind, I invite you to tap more deeply into your own mother lode of innovative, imaginative energy. The cosmic trends favor it. Your hormones are nudging you in that direction. What projects could use a jolt of primal brilliance? What areas of your life need a boost of ingenuity?

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Love wants more of you. Love longs for you to give everything you have and receive everything you need. Love is conspiring to bring you beautiful truths and poignant teases, sweet dispensations and confounding mysteries, exacting blessings and riddles that will take your entire life to solve. But here are some crucial questions: Are you truly ready for such intense engagement? Are you willing to do what’s necessary to live at a higher and deeper level? Would you know how to work with such extravagant treasure and wild responsibility? The coming weeks will be prime time to explore the answers to these questions. I’m not sure what your answers will be.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Each of us contains a multiplicity of selves. You may often feel like there’s just one of you rumbling around inside your psyche, but it’s closer to the truth to say that you’re a community of various characters whose agendas sometimes overlap and sometimes conflict. For example, the needy part of you that craves love isn’t always on the same wavelength as the ambitious part of you that seeks power. That’s why it’s a good idea to periodically organize summit meetings where all of your selves can gather and negotiate. Now is one of those times: a favorable moment to foster harmony among your inner voices and to mobilize them to work together in service of common goals. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Pike’s Peak is a 14,115-foot mountain in Colorado. It’s not a simple task to trek to the top. Unless you’re welltrained, you might experience altitude sickness. Wicked thunderstorms are a regular occurrence during the summer. Snow falls year-round. But back in 1929, an adventurer named Bill Williams decided the task of hiking to the summit wasn’t tough enough. He sought a more demanding challenge. Wearing kneepads, he spent 21 days crawling along as he used his nose to push a peanut all the way up. I advise you to avoid making him your role model in the coming weeks, Virgo. Just climb the mountain. Don’t try to push a peanut up there with your nose, too. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Practitioners of the Ayurvedic medical tradition tout the healing power of regular self-massage. Creativity expert Julia Cameron recommends that you periodically go out on dates with yourself. Taoist author Mantak Chia advises you to visualize sending smiles and good wishes to your kidneys, lungs, liver, heart and other organs. He says that these acts of kindness bolster your vigor. The coming weeks will be an especially favorable time to attend to measures like these, Scorpio. I hope you will also be imaginative as you give yourself extra gifts and compliments and praise. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): The com-

ing weeks will be one of the best times ever for wrestling with God or tussling with Fate

or grappling with karma. Why do I say that? Because you’re likely to emerge triumphant! That’s right, you lucky, plucky contender. More than I’ve seen in a long time, you have the potential to draw on the crafty power and unruly wisdom and resilient compassion you would need to be an unambiguous winner. A winner of what? You tell me. What dilemma would you most like to resolve? What test would you most like to ace? At what game would you most like to be victorious? Now is the time.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Are you grunting and sweating as you struggle to preserve and maintain the gains of the past? Or are you smooth and cagey as you maneuver your way toward the rewards of the future? I’m rooting for you to put the emphasis on the second option. Paradoxically, that will be the best way to accomplish the first option. It will also ensure that your motivations are primarily rooted in love and enthusiasm rather than worry and stress. And that will enable you to succeed at the second option. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Do you be-

lieve that you are mostly just a product of social conditioning and your genetic makeup? Or are you willing to entertain a different hypothesis: that you are a primal force of nature on an unpredictable journey? That you are capable of rising above your apparent limitations and expressing aspects of yourself that might have been unimaginable when you were younger? I believe the coming weeks will be a favorable time to play around with this vision. Your knack for transcendence is peaking. So are your powers to escape the past and exceed limited expectations.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): In one of your nightly dreams, Robin Hood may team up with Peter Pan to steal unused treasure from a greedy monster — and then turn the booty over to you. Or maybe you’ll meet a talking hedgehog and singing fox who will cast a spell to heal and revive one of your wounded fantasies. It’s also conceivable that you will recover a magic seed that had been lost or forgotten, and attract the help of a fairy godmother or godfather to help you ripen it.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): At a recent party, a guy I hardly know questioned my authenticity. “You seem to have had an easy life,” he jabbed. “I bet you haven’t suffered enough to be a truly passionate person.” I didn’t choose to engage him, but mused to myself, “Not enough suffering? What about the time I got shot? My divorce? My five-year-long illness? The manager of my rock band getting killed in a helicopter crash?” But after that initial reaction, my thoughts turned to the adventures that have stoked my passion without causing pain, like the birth of my daughter, getting remarried to the woman I divorced, and performing my music for excited audiences. I bring this up, Aries, because I suspect that you, too, will soon have experiences that refine and deepen your passion through pleasure rather than hardship.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): It’s the Frank and Focused Feedback Phase, Taurus — prime time to solicit insight about how you’re doing. Here are four suggestions to get you started. 1. Ask a person who loves and respects you to speak the compassionate truth about what’s most important for you to learn. 2. Consult a trustworthy adviser who can help motivate you to do the crucial thing you’ve been postponing. 3. Have an imaginary conversation with the person you were a year ago. Encourage the Old You to be honest about how the New You could summon more excellence in pursuing your essential goals. 4. Say this prayer to your favorite tree or animal or meadow: “Show me what I need to do in order to feel more joy.”
