MASON MEETS MASONRY Talk about a jar-ing experience. A Starksboro man last week crashed into a small decorative stone wall after a mason jar fell onto the fl ﬂoor of his car and got stuck under the brake pedal. Keenan Kurt, 27, was unhurt after the morning wreck at the intersection of Route 116 and States Prison Hollow Road in Starksboro. Kurt told cops he steered into the wall at 10 to 15 mph to avoid rolling out into trafﬁc on Route 116 after the traffi jar jammed the brake pedal. No charges are expected.

CASHING IN

Emily Gillis, 36, tried to cash a check made out to a man who had been killed in a car crash days before, police say. But that didn’t work. She then tried to hand the check over to her landlord — who promptly called police. According to cops, her boyfriend, 41-year-old Trever Hoag, had provided her with his late brother’s payroll check. Now, both she and Hoag face several charges, including receiving stolen property.

Po-Po

Two goons are behind bars after they allegedly lured a Vergennes man to a Ripton residence, where they sprayed him in the face with Mace and beat him with a tire iron and a large wrench, cops say. ˜ e 39-year-old victim told police he was able to escape into some nearby woods when he heard “multiple gunshots in his general direction,” none of which struck him. Fleeing for his life, the victim made it to a nearby house, and the homeowner drove him to the state police barracks in New Haven. Peter Manning, 41, was arrested two days later, while 38-year-old Michael LaFountain turned himself in to police. Both men are accused of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.

CLOSE CALL

HARD-PRESSED

SEVENDAYSVT.COM

A pilot spotted a wrecked plane on Savage Island in Lake Champlain on September 19 and radioed the Burlington International Airport tower to report it. Word got to Grand Isle County Sheriff Ray Allen around 6 p.m., and he ordered a full-bore response to what he believed was an active scene, summoning first responders in boats from around the region and even a helicopter from U.S. Customs and Border Protection. But when Allen got to the privately owned 207-acre island off Grand Isle, he learned from a caretaker that the crash had occurred several hours before, around noontime, on a grassy airstrip. ˜ e two men who’d been aboard the tiny two-seater 1947 Piper PA-11 — off-duty Vermont National Guard airmen, it turned out — had avoided injury, and the caretaker, Wayne Fisher, had ferried them back to the mainland. Allen managed to call off the helicopter, but first responders were on the lake until 8:30 p.m. ˜ e impending darkness and low water levels exacerbated their navigational hazards. Allen was still fuming about it last week. “˜ ere are lots of fire chiefs upset, myself included, along with other agencies, that this was an incident six hours old with no injuries — and nobody there,” Allen said. What gives? ˜ e Vermont National Guard acknowledged that the two in the plane were airmen and said they were not injured and had returned to work — but revealed nothing more, calling it a “civilian matter.” ˜ e plane is registered to John Rahill, a lieutenant colonel in the Vermont Air National Guard, and the sheriff said he was one of the occupants. He has not responded to requests for comment. As Sasha Goldstein reported on our Off Message blog, federal regulations require pilots to report accidents˝as soon as possible˝to the National Transportation Safety Board. ˜ e NTSB had a preliminary crash report on its website by˝˜ ursday, but a spokesman could not say when the agency was notified. ˜ e NTSB and the Federal Aviation Administration are investigating the crash. Why weren’t the local cops called? ˜ at’s unclear. “˜ ey did make several calls,” Fisher, the island’s caretaker,˝said of the plane’s occupants. “I don’t know to whom and the nature of the calls.” Look to sevendaysvt.com for updates.

FEEDback READER REACTION TO RECENT ARTICLES

LETTER WRITER WRONG

[Re Feedback, “Enemy Lines,” September 7]: As was stated in the correction to the original article [“Brothers’ Keeper,” August 31], the drug that killed my two sons, Dennis and Sean Thibault, was pure fentanyl, not a “heroin-fentanyl” mix. Dealing pure fentanyl to anyone is a death sentence, and I hope to clarify that one important fact here.

RACHEL ROCKS

I loved Rachel Elizabeth Jones’ article about Grand Point North 2016 [“Moved by the Spirit,” September 14]. Am I the only one who enjoyed the pun of Rock Dunder and the great rock and roll by the lake where folks were rocked under by the bands? Jim Minichiello

NOT SO FAST

As a current Lyndon State College student, I’d like to point out that the students have brought up many concerns to Vermont State Colleges chancellor Jeb Spaulding, especially at a meeting before the one mentioned in [“Shotgun Marriage? Johnson and Lyndon State Colleges Rush to the Altar,” September 14]. It’s clear based on this article that Spaulding is not interested in what the students think. Jay Shafer is on point: Spaulding has made up his mind and is barreling through with the proposal, even though there are numerous questions — including financial and financial-aid ones — that have not been answered. He is simply going too fast with this, and it’s going to hurt both colleges if he and the board of trustees don’t slow down and take a more measured look. Adam Froehlig

BELIEVE WHAT YOU WANT

[“UVM Prof: Bias Response Team Threatens Free Speech on Campus,” September 14] states: “Under the current procedure at UVM, reports can be made against someone who exhibits bias.” Among the proscribed “behaviors” is a demonstrated bias against religion. Does this mean that atheists or agnostics may not be critical of religious beliefs? Would membership in organizations such as Americans United for the Separation of Church and State or the Freedom From Religion Foundation discourage students from expressing their opinions about religion for fear of being reprimanded by the university? Would Richard Dawkins not be allowed to speak at UVM? Perhaps Thomas Jefferson would be called before the Bias Response Team for his “biased opinions” such as “And the day will come when the mystical generation of Jesus, by the supreme being as his father in the womb of a virgin will be classed with the

that in the city’s push for art as an active part of Burlington life, it only wants generic art, not politically engaged art, or provocative climate change art, or... I wonder if this is because art is supposed to be tame and in museums, adding only to the economy rather than creating active civic engagement. More disturbing is Mayor Miro Weinberger’s desire and belief for having a strong democratic debate, but when given a chance, the opposite happens. In two recent public forums (a neighborhood planning assembly and a neighborhood bagel meeting), the mayor asked for community questions, then proceeded to lecture for one and a half hours. Most community-minded leaders, such as some of our city councilors, actually try to listen to their constituents. While the mayor may be personable and have many supporters in this city, he has a hard time grasping that he is in office to support everyone, whether he likes them or not. He is in the unique position of needing to represent all the interests of the city, and that includes the alternative voices, as well. Not everyone believes Burlington’s future lies with building mega-blocks that don’t conform to our zoning and PlanBTV. The misrepresentation of projects, their fast-track process and expansion of scope is a function of the city, not the artists. Indeed, alternative voices always get rowdy when they aren’t being heard — this is lesson No. 1 in community building. The talent behind the voices could benefit the city — if anyone listened.

New, I have long opposed those politically correct apostrophes. The land masses of the western hemisphere — and Lake Champlain — were indeed discovered, in the sense that the Europeans who first encountered them had had no prior idea of their existence. As the heirs and, like it or not, the beneficiaries of those encounters, we are well entitled to refer to them as apostrophe-free discoveries. As an illustrative aside: If you come upon a restaurant with which you had not been previously acquainted, no one will take you to task if you say you discovered it. We all know it was there before you came along, and that it already had a clientele.

BONY NYONI stood behind the counter of her Winooski beauty shop Monday night and addressed some three dozen Vermonters at a meeting of the state’s fledgling Black Lives Matter chapter. “I’m tired, fed up with the system,” she said. “I’m tired of waiting for the next black person to die at the hands of Serving the state of Vermont a policeman.

But over the weekend, a local act of racism brought the simmering national debate to her doorstep: the Saturday night theft of a Black Lives Matter flag from a University of Vermont flagpole. “I’ve never seen a Black Lives Matter meeting this big. Like, oh my goodness,” remarked SENOWA MIZE-FOX, a purplehaired community organizer who sat on the floor of the overcrowded boutique, holding Nyoni’s infant girl in her arms. Mize-Fox, who lives in Burlington, said she had been “moved to tears” by the hundreds of people who had protested the flag’s theft that afternoon on the UVM campus. Nyoni quickly dispensed with the pleasantries, advising her audience that this would not be “another meetwww.essexoutlets.com ing of sad stories.” Rather, she said, the facebook.com/pages/essexvt group would mobilize its forces to enlist 21 Essex Way, Essex Junction, VT | 802.878.2851 Vermont’s religious, law enforcement and political leaders in the fight for Untitled-19 1 9/26/16 3:06 PMracial justice.

with a smile on his face as he rushed through the crowd to Nyoni’s counter. A day earlier, Owusu had been practicing precisely what Black Lives Matter was preaching: He had engaged Vermont’s political establishment — at least, a small portion of it — at a Sunday afternoon forum on race called Raise Your Voice. Onstage at Burlington’s ArtsRiot, Owusu had addressed the theft of the BLM flag — and the official response to the incident. “Why is law enforcement not immediately telling us what happened in that situation?” he asked a small crowd of activists and politicians in the dimly lit concert venue. “Whereas, we know that if it were, like, some dark corner somewhere and someone said some black

guy did something to someone, I promise you that in five minutes we assume they’re going to tell us what happened.” Upset as he was, Owusu said he had reason to be optimistic about the largely white state in which he lived. “Regardless of what anyone else may think outside of Vermont, those of us who are here know that there is more of an upside for people who are willing to have these conversations around change than in other places,” he said. “At least, that’s how I feel.” JAMELL ROGERS, a 28-year-old singer and songwriter who lives in Burlington, echoed the sentiment. “What’s on my heart right now is looking at this room and seeing people here that are willing to be part of the change,” he said when he took the stage at ArtsRiot. “As a man, as a human, as a black man, that means the world to me to see people so supportive, coming out to listen, to learn, to educate ourselves, to help us with a part of our struggle.”

Rogers singled out one audience member in particular: Sen. DAVID ZUCKERMAN (P/D-Chittenden), who is running for lieutenant governor. Half a year earlier, the musician and the politician had crossed paths at a substance abuse benefit concert in Barre. “I met [Zuckerman] after the show and thought, ‘This guy’s pretty cool,’” Rogers recalled in an interview. The two kept in touch and met again this summer at a Burlington coffee shop to discuss how they could start a conversation with a larger audience. “I said, ‘What we could do is give people the chance to talk,’” Rogers said. “‘Why don’t we give the floor over to community members … to talk about not only racism but substance abuse?’” Zuckerman agreed and set Sunday’s forum in motion. In a promotional video his campaign posted on its Facebook page, the senator and organic farmer said the event was “about addressing our issues around racism in Vermont and how we can help alleviate these challenges that we’re facing.” “We’re going to have music. We’re going to have fun. We’re also going to hear stories and experiences from individuals,” he said, promising the event would be “a good time.” Zuckerman’s video didn’t entice his Republican rival, RANDY BROCK, to attend. Instead, it drew a cutting rebuke from the former state auditor and senator. In an open letter he sent Zuckerman and the media Monday morning, Brock accused his rival of “trying to score political points by exploiting an incredibly sensitive and difficult national issue.” “Combatting racism requires leadership and maturity, not a political campaign rally with music, a cash bar and the promise of a ‘good time,’” Brock wrote. “People in America are dying, David. Do you think it’s appropriate to pass out lawn signs and pamphlets with your name and campaign logo on them at an event billed to be a conversation about the reasons behind those tragic deaths?” Brock’s missive was an extraordinary departure for a levelheaded politician better known for analytical op-eds than biting social commentary. It was an even greater departure because Brock, who is African American, has rarely mentioned race in his 12 years in public life. “I don’t get offended very easily. I have pretty tough skin,” he explained in

an interview. “But I found that entire approach pretty offensive.” Brock, who was born in 1943 and raised in Philadelphia, said that one of his earliest memories was of a childhood trip to the segregated South. At a train station in North Carolina, he recalled, “I went to take a drink from a bright, shining water fountain — and my mother held me back and pointed to a sign above the water fountain that said, ‘white.’” She redirected the young Brock to a rusted fountain, marked “colored.” “I have a few memories like that,” he remarked. As a former police officer, Brock said he was “torn” over the Black Lives Matter movement because he had “seen this from several different perspectives.” “Often there are accusations made that police have behaved improperly when they have not behaved improperly,” he said. “But at the same time, you look at the instances in which unarmed folks, who are often black, are either searched or shot in ways that probably wouldn’t happen had they been white.” Unlike Nyoni, Mize-Fox and Hughes, Brock said he had not experienced racism in Vermont, despite moving “in very wide circles — from business people on the one hand to my neighbors up here [in Swanton] to the [National Rifle Association] crowd.” “That’s why I live in Vermont,” he said. According to Brock, he’s never believed his own race should factor into the political discussion. “I haven’t raised it, and nobody else has. It’s no more relevant than the color of my hair — if I had any,” he said, adding, “You can’t legislate what’s in people’s hearts.” Despite his reluctance to discuss the subject, Brock said he felt it necessary to speak out after hearing Zuckerman and a supporter make remarks he found offensive. Brock pointed in particular to the way the ponytailed senator described internal biases in a July interview on Vermont Public Radio. “Theoretically, all of us have to examine ourselves and how do we react when we see a person of color when you’re walking down the street or a person with long hair or a person with any stereotypical characteristic,” Zuckerman told the radio station. “It trivializes the whole race issue here to make that kind of comparison,” Brock said. According to Zuckerman, that wasn’t his intention. “I was not trying to equate or compare, as he has indicated, that because I

have long hair I face any level of injustice remotely that people of color do,” the liberal legislator said. And while Zuckerman admitted that he had handed out campaign literature and yard signs at Sunday’s event, he said he did not widely publicize it — beyond the Facebook post — and did not intend to exploit the fight for racial justice for his own political gain. “It really wasn’t about me,” he insisted. “It was about the community of color and the day-to-day opportunities and challenges they have.” According to Owusu, Brock raised some “valid points” in his open letter, particularly concerning Zuckerman’s “long hair” remark. “I remember hearing that and thinking that could be a little jarring,” he said. But the way Owusu saw it, Zuckerman’s heart was in the right place. “He has my backing, because whenever we talk about these issues, he says these will become a highlight of his platform if he becomes lieutenant governor,” he said. And, unlike Brock, Zuckerman took the time to reach out to him and his community, Owusu argued. “If you can’t come and be part of the process, then you don’t know how it was represented or came across in the room,” he said. “All kudos to Mr. Brock for his service, but on this issue he has not gone deep enough with his analysis to say that Mr. Zuckerman has politicized this event. I think it’s far from it.” For his part, Rogers recoiled at the notion that he had been exploited for political purposes. “If anything, we were using each other to bring awareness,” he said. “The people Zuckerman is going to bring to the table are people I’m not going to be able to bring to the table.” Rogers added, “I respect what Brock has to say, but we need to bring race into politics.” No doubt we do. But as Brock himself pointed out, it can be perilous to do so. “I think a lot of people are very reluctant to talk about race because we so often create this political environment in which people can’t honestly express themselves,” he said. “And I don’t think that’s particularly healthy.” Zuckerman would surely agree. m

Post-Sale, Seventh Generation Aims to Go Global and Stay Local B Y ALI CI A FR EESE

ANNELISE CAPOSSELA

he symbolism was hard to miss last Thursday on Burlington’s Lake Street, where a group of Seventh Generation employees lined up in front of the Ben & Jerry’s truck parked outside their office. The ice cream company had come to “welcome them to the family,” as one bystander in the crowd put it. By “family,” he meant the multinational corporation Unilever, which announced on September 19 that it was buying the Burlingtonbased eco-friendly household products company. Back in 2000, Ben & Jerry’s became Unilever’s first iconic Vermont acquisition. In a state that deifies local, it’s no surprise that some skeptics — read: commenters on the Seventh Generation Facebook page — aren’t cheering the news of yet another corporate takeover of a Vermont company. Some of the state’s most promising businesses have gone that way: Green Mountain Coffee Roasters sold to Keurig, which was subsequently bought by JAB Holding. GE Health Care took over IDX Systems in South Burlington. Dealer.com was purchased by Dealertrack, which in turn was bought by Cox Automotive. Seventh Generation has been a standout employer in Vermont — a green, socially conscious company that treats its workers generously and supports local causes. Huge multinational corporations tend to be less committed to the communities where they operate. But business types are pointing to the Ben & Jerry’s sale as proof that a homegrown company can get bought out without selling out. Are they right? Will Seventh Generation stick around and stay true to its green roots? Offbeat entrepreneur Alan Newman started the company in 1988 with a mail-order catalog offering energy conservation products. The following year, New York City native Jeffrey Hollender joined Newman and began recruiting investors. When sales began to falter, they developed their own line of environmentally friendly household products, which included beeswax crayons and biodegradable sanitary pads. In 1992, the two men had a falling out, and, as Newman matter-of-factly

During office tours, the first stop is at the “waste diversion station” — a row of recycling containers with one diminutive trash bin at the end. The elaborate setup calls to mind another famously trash-conscious company. Ben & Jerry’s has taken it to another level, building a biodigester that uses micro-organisms to convert ice cream waste into biogas. When Unilever, one of the world’s largest consumer goods companies, bought the quirky ice cream maker for $326 million in 2000, loyal customers were crestfallen. Founders Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield weren’t happy, either.

consumer product brands and is considered a rival of Proctor & Gamble. The board of Ben & Jerry’s, which had gone public in 1984, won praise for negotiating an agreement with Unilever that established an unusual degree of autonomy. Unilever let Ben & Jerry’s maintain an independent external board that included Cohen and Greenfield to oversee the company’s social justice work and brand integrity. It can even sue its corporate parent — at Unilever’s expense — for violating the agreement. Unilever committed to continuing the practice of donating 7.5 percent of profits to the Ben & Jerry’s foundation, on top of a $5 million donation. And it distributed $5 million to help minority business owners and another $5 million to Ben & Jerry’s employees. The agreement also had safeguards against layoffs. Unilever had to maintain a substantial presence in Vermont for at least five years and couldn’t lay off anyone for the first two years. John Replogle Even with all those protections, the transition was painful. Several years later, Unilever closed a production plant in Springfield and a distribution center in Bellows Falls, and laid off additional staff at the South Burlington headquarters. About 200 Vermonters lost their jobs as a result, according to Brad Edmondson’s book, Ice Cream Social: The Struggle for the Soul of Ben & Jerry’s. The independent board clashed with corporate leadership over a number of issues, including the kind of political advocacy in which employees could engage under the auspices of the Ben & Jerry’s brand. Today, however, the acquisition is held up as an example of a “missiondriven” company getting subsumed by a corporation without losing its soul. Under Unilever, Ben & Jerry’s expanded internationally, and, as the company has grown, so has its Vermont workforce. Ben & Jerry’s recently filed for an Act 250 permit to expand its St. Albans production center, increasing the number of jobs there from 235 to 300. Executives say its social mission is alive and well and has a longer reach. Did Seventh Generation strike an equally good bargain? It’s hard to know, because the complete terms of the deal aren’t being released. But based on what has been

Representing: A Busy Public Defender Stands Up for Her Clients B Y M O LLY WA LSH

CALEB KENNA

hortly after 8 a.m., public defender Mary Kay Lanthier loaded legal folders into a cardboard box in her Rutland office and prepared to walk up State Street to court. She eyed the bulging box and sighed. Lanthier had 19 clients to represent in pretrial conferences at Rutland County District Court that Wednesday, September 14. “I generally pride myself on not having to use a cart,” she said with a wry smile. “I’m going to have to use a cart today.” The 45-year-old lawyer is accustomed to a heavy workload. But it’s become more burdensome as the state struggles to find lawyers to work as public defenders. The Rutland office is supposed to have four full-time attorneys, but one slot had been vacant for months. This increased Lanthier’s caseload to as many as 40 clients a day — all of them poor and counting on her to defend them against charges such as retail theft, DUI, heroin possession and even homicide. “It’s been difficult to hire,” she said wearily of a job that falls to her boss, Vermont Defender General Matt Valerio, who also oversees 35 staff attorneys and more than 100 contracted public defenders throughout the state. As managing attorney of the Rutland office, Lanthier explained, “This is not how it normally runs.” Vacancies are a chronic problem across Vermont’s public defender system. Young lawyers with student loan debts of $100,000 or more don’t see much appeal in the $50,000 starting pay, according to Lanthier. And few seem as interested as their counterparts a generation ago did in representing indigent criminal defendants. After more than 15 years as a public defender, Lanthier earns $95,000. It’s a good wage, especially in Vermont, noted Lanthier, who grew up in a family of modest means in Castleton. Her dad worked at a slate quarry, and her mom was a small-town postmistress. (Lanthier now lives in Orwell with her husband, a retired schoolteacher, and their two teenage kids.) Still, no one would describe a public defender’s work as glamorous. Lanthier’s office — in a drab building with stained carpet — offers no glass conference rooms or stunning lake views. As she pulled on her gray suit coat, smoothed her matching pleated skirt and pushed her cart out the door, she explained why she takes satisfaction in her work. “There’s no better job,” she said. “You just get to meet so many people at so many different stages of their lives and really stand between them and the power of the government.” And there’s another thing. “The bad guys aren’t always bad,” she said. “You shouldn’t be defined by the worst mistake or worst thing you did.” A belief in redemption guided Lanthier down the street to the stately courthouse on Merchants Row, where she started her day in earnest. Various prosecutors, clerks and defendants called out hellos to “Mary

Mary Kay Lanthier

Kay.” To the guards manning the metal detectors near the door, she issued her trademark greeting: “Are we having fun yet?” Her black pumps clattering, Lanthier walked across the polished floors to the elevator and rode to the third floor. The doors opened onto a crowded waiting area, where more than two dozen defendants had gathered to meet with their lawyers and for hearings in front of Judge Cortland T. Corsones. The smell of cigarette smoke clung to the crowd, and many of those waiting in jeans and shorts clutched coffee cups and tapped text messages into their phones. They sat on benches and leaned against the walls, sharing their worries about how many hours they would be stuck in the courthouse, missing work, before catching buses back to Fair Haven and Brandon. A baby snoozed in a stroller while its mother half bragged that her 6-year-old was throwing chairs and biting kids at school. Lanthier’s clients mobbed her as she unlocked a small office at the end of the hallway and set down her

things. Gary Russell Comes, an unemployed delivery truck driver facing charges of violating a protective order in the wake of prior convictions, was first. “Life still OK?” Lanthier asked him. Comes launched into a discussion about his recent release from prison and his new probation officer — a good guy, Comes said: “He makes you feel like you’re not jumping through a hoop this big,” he said, gesturing with his hands far apart. After some chitchat about housing options and counseling, Lanthier moved on to the plea deal she was trying to negotiate. “Now, can I give you the bad news?” she asked in a sympathetic voice. “So, the state made an offer, which I think is a silly offer … What they are looking for, essentially, is 13 months to 25 months to serve.” Comes, a big man with a beard, threw his shoulders back in shock and exclaimed, “What? Oh, my God!” “Don’t panic,” Lanthier responded. She explained that because of a prior conviction, the new charge would be a felony. She couldn’t guarantee how the trial would go, she told him, but agreed that the plea offer wasn’t good. The judge, Lanthier continued, was going to want to know that day: plea agreement or trial? Comes shifted heavily in his chair and said he’d rather risk a trial than accept more than a year in prison. So they agreed to set a trial date. If anyone could help him, Comes told a reporter, it was Lanthier: “I feel like she will give me the fairest shake I could have. She does a great job for the overwhelming amount of cases she has.” Ten minutes after he arrived, Comes left the room and another defendant took his place — the second in a long line, as it turned out. Most allowed Seven Days to sit in on their meetings, provided they weren’t identified. One was an elderly man wearing work boots, jeans and a benevolent expression. He faced charges of lewd and lascivious behavior with a minor. Lanthier greeted him kindly. The man was on the verge of homelessness, bouncing from one relative’s digs to another. They spoke briefly about his case, and he asked Lanthier to help keep him out of prison. He’d spent so much time there, he said, and he did not want to go back. Lanthier said she’d do everything she could. Next came a young woman charged with a repeat DUI. Following her was another young woman, facing retail theft and drug possession charges, who announced that she was managing her opioid addiction with the help of “street bupe” — illicit buprenorphine, an opiate-treatment drug. All of Lanthier’s clients are poor — they have to be to meet the income test to qualify for a public defender — and many have struggled with mental illness, addiction and lack of education. Lanthier offered advice on each case and doled out information about agencies that might help with housing, sobriety and transportation.

CRIME

hick’s Market owner Pam Vezina had just stepped outside her business on Hickok Street in Winooski when she saw a police cruiser tear down the road on September 16. A city police officer hopped out of it behind the O’Brien Community Center. That’s roughly when Vezina heard the shots. A few hours later, she realized that she was acquainted with both the shooter, Franklin County Deputy Sheriff Nicolas Palmier, 31, and the man he killed — Jesse Beshaw, 29. Both men lived in the neighborhood just off the Winooski traffic circle. They frequented the convenience store in which Vezina sells deli sandwiches and snacks. “I had some anger at both of them at first,” Vezina said. “But we can’t stand here and judge people. It has to be hard on Nick.” Vezina said she was concerned in the days immediately after the shooting that Beshaw’s local friends might start trouble at Palmier’s nearby home on Hickok Street. It’s within sight of the spot where Beshaw was gunned down. But nothing unlawful has happened. Meanwhile, neither the Vermont State Police, which is investigating the shooting, nor the Winooski police, whose officers were involved in the incident, has fully explained what occurred. State police have said that three Winooski officers spotted Beshaw, who was wanted for burglary, enter a home on Union Street. When they tried to surround the residence, he fled on foot, whereupon Palmier intervened and caught up with him. Beshaw advanced on the deputy with a hand hidden behind his back, and Palmier opened fire, hitting him with seven shots, police said. Beshaw was not armed. Court documents reviewed by Seven Days reveal more about Beshaw’s recent history with city police and may shed light on why police were wary of him. Two weeks before the shooting, a man called Winooski police to report that he could hear two men outside his first-floor home on East Allen Street talking about kicking in a second-floor door, according to a Winooski police officer’s affidavit filed in Chittenden Superior Court. One of the men had a gun strapped to his waist, the caller reported.

A memorial for Jesse Beshaw

Winooski police raced to the home. They climbed the stairs to a second-floor apartment and saw that the deadbolt and front door were damaged, but the door was closed. So the police went downstairs. Suddenly, Beshaw opened the door to the upstairs apartment, according to the affidavit. In his left hand, he held a gun. Beshaw spotted police and ducked back inside the apartment. He broke through a window, jumped to the ground from the second story and ran away. Inside the apartment, police found 50 pills, empty heroin bags, needles and the overdose-reversing drug Narcan, according to the affidavit. Police did not catch Beshaw that night. Later, following up on a tip about a running man who paused at a dumpster on Barlow Street, officers found what they believe was Beshaw’s gun inside it. The gun, a revolver with a wooden

handle and long silver barrel, matched the descriptions of a weapon used in three recent bank robberies in the Onion City: The Merchants Bank on Main Street was robbed on August 10; the TD Bank branch on East Allen Street was hit on August 18 and again on August 25. Each time, a masked man with a revolver made off with various amounts of cash. Police have not charged anyone with those crimes and declined to say whether Beshaw was a suspect. Beshaw had a criminal record that included convictions for burglary and escape from custody. He served at least three stints in prison totaling more than three years, according to Chittenden Superior Court records. His mother, JoAnne Lewis, died in 2001, and his father, Arthur Beshaw, died in February 2016. His older brother, Michael Lewis, was sentenced to prison for 22 years in 2009 after leading police

on a car chase that ended in a crash that killed two of his passengers and injured four others — including Beshaw — in South Burlington. “I think that’s what started his problems,” said Winooski resident Trisha Bell, who described herself as a longtime Beshaw family friend. “He had nobody. His family was gone. He was by himself. He did a lot of soul-searching, trying to fill a hole that couldn’t be filled. He was trying to change.” Palmier wound up in Winooski via a different path. He served in the U.S. Marine Corps from 2003 to 2007 and did two tours in Iraq, in 2004 and 2005, according to the Marine Corps Manpower and Reserve Affairs unit. Burlington Free Press wrote about him in a 2008 story about a Vermont visit by the secretary of veterans affairs. In it, Palmier expressed concern that his

experiences in Iraq could make it more difficult to find work as a cop. “He said after he saw a buddy die, he saw a mental health counselor,” the Free Press reported. “Subsequently, when home on leave, he had to check in daily with his sergeant. Now that he’s a civilian, he worries his mental health record could prevent him from getting jobs.” Ultimately, it didn’t. Palmier has been a certified law enforcement officer in Vermont since 2010, according to Rick Gauthier, the executive director of the Vermont Criminal Justice Training Council. He was hired by the Winooski Police Department in November 2009 and worked there for a year, Winooski Police Chief Rick Hebert said. He declined to provide further details. From Winooski, he joined the St. Albans Police Department, where he stayed less than a year, from May 2011

to March 2012, according to that department. He joined the Franklin County Sheriff’s Department in 2015, according to media reports. Franklin County Sheriff Robert Norris did not return phone calls about Palmier. When Seven Days knocked on Palmier’s door, nobody answered. But several people who lived around the deputy sheriff had plenty to say. Most of them are angry with the police. Anne Weber, who said she saw Beshaw running from Palmier, said it was obvious that Beshaw was unarmed: He was wearing basketball shorts and a tank top, she said. “What are the Winooski police hiding?” Weber said. “I don’t get it; it’s frightening. Why couldn’t they Taser him? He could have shot his knees. Why did they shoot to kill?” Several neighbors said they knew Palmier lived in the area, but they had little interaction with him. Rene Gombar, a Hickok Street resident, said

! E L A S E R U T I N R FU S A T U R D A Y O N L Y

Palmier has kept a low profile in the neighborhood. “I’ve never seen him in three years,” Gombar said. “He’s not involved in the community at all. This is his only incident — he goes out and empties his magazine.” Why was a Franklin County sheriff’s deputy participating in a bust in Winooski? Hebert said that he believes Palmier was either leaving for work or arriving home when he heard about the attempt to arrest Beshaw on the police scanner. “I think he was just trying to be a good fellow officer and help out,” Hebert said of Palmier. “If we’re on our way to court and we see Burlington police wrestling with someone in the road, of course we’re stopping. It’s normal.” Hebert declined to discuss the shooting, citing the ongoing investigation. The three Winooski officers involved in the incident have been questioned and are back on active duty, Hebert said. Both the Chittenden County State’s Attorney’s Office and the Vermont Attorney General’s Office will review the shooting to determine whether Palmier’s decision to fire was lawful. In recent history, those reviews have almost always exonerated the officer. The law generally gives great discretion to police officers when they use deadly force. The Vermont Police Academy teaches officers that they are allowed to open fire if they “reasonably” believe themselves or others to be at risk of serious injury or death, according to Gauthier. “In general, the officer doesn’t have to be fired at or have a weapon brandished to take action,” Gauthier said. Officers are not trained to shoot with the intention of wounding, which is far more difficult to achieve than is widely believed, he said. “We don’t use ‘shoot to kill.’ We use ‘shoot to stop,’” Gauthier clarified. “What we tell people is, if you fire and you miss them, but they stop doing whatever it is that caused you to fire, you’re done firing. Likewise, it might take multiple hits to stop them.” Palmier and the three Winooski officers were wearing body cameras, and the shooting was captured on video, state police said. However, both the Winooski police and Vermont State Police have declined requests from Seven Days and other media outlets to release the footage. They have cited an exemption in Vermont’s public records law for ongoing criminal investigations. Both the American Civil Liberties

The trustees are scheduled to ote Thursday on a plan to put the two state col leges under one president with one budget and a new name while retaining separate campuses. Faculty, staff and students have expressed concerns that the move is happening too quickly and with questions left unanswered. Monday, the Lyndon Faculty Assembly sent chancellor Jeb Spaulding and the board a resolution asking for the vote to be delayed. “Significant uncertainty remains on questions about federal financial aid, curricular structure, faculty governance, marketing and recruitment, development, and leadership,” the resolution says. “There is also some question whether this particular unification model is the best way to reduce costs, increase quality, and be able to survive and thrive in the new paradigms of higher education.” There will be no delay, said Tricia Coates, director of external and governmental affairs for Vermont State Colleges. “We believe the report that the chancellor is submitting to the board will respond to their concerns,” Coates said.

EXCERPTS FROM THE BLOG Union and the New England First Amendment Coalition have urged authorities to make the footage public. “At this time, when we’re talking so much about rebuilding the trust between police and the community, the police are showing an utter lack of trust in the public,” Vermont ACLU staff attorney Lia Ernst said. The Winooski shooting occurred on the same day that police officers in Tulsa, Okla., opened fire on an unarmed black man as he walked back to his vehicle with his hands in the air. Three days later, Tulsa police released cruiser camera footage that captured the fatal shooting, resulting in a manslaughter charge against the officer. The very next day, police shot 43-year-old Keith Lamont Scott outside an apartment complex in Charlotte, N.C. When law enforcement initially refused to release the video, the victim’s wife offered up her own, in which she’s shouting, “Don’t shoot him. He has no weapon” and “He doesn’t have a gun. He has a TBI.” The Charlotte police department has since released some — but not all — of its video. In Winooski, an impromptu memorial has grown around the bloodstained patch of pavement behind the O’Brien Community Center. Dozens of people have left their thoughts on scraps of paper tied to a fence, on a dumpster pocked with bullet holes and on a poster pinned to the spot where Beshaw died. “I’m sorry to hear of this it was so uncalled for I hope the cop that done this has to think about this for the rest of his life,” one reads. “What about social injustice?” says another. Also: “Fuck the police. Murderers. Eye for an Eye.” Last Friday evening, 50 demonstrators descended on the Winooski traffic circle at rush hour. With two Vermont State Police squad cars parked nearby, they demanded the release of the body camera footage and decried “killer cops.” At one point, a “black lives matter” chant erupted. The crowd was a mix of Beshaw’s local friends and veteran activists. About 20 minutes into the demonstration, Beshaw’s girlfriend, Winooski resident Kristina Ellis, arrived. She stood in front of the group, closest to the passing cars, and held aloft a handmade sign that read “murder is illegal.” “He needs justice,” Ellis said in a brief interview. “It’s not right.” m

Lyndon State College

While the rest of the nation watched the first Clinton- rump presidential debate, the Burlington City Council talked taxincrement financing. The council oted 9-1 Monday night to put a $21.8 million TIF proposal on the November ballot. If residents approve the measure, the money will be used to restore St. Paul and Pine streets, which are currently cut off by the Burlington Town Center, and to upgrade nearby public infrastructure — all part of a massive downtown mall redevelopment project. TIF is a funding mechanism that allows municipalities to pay for public infrastructure improvements that encourage new public or private development. The upgrades are financed with debt that gets repaid by the future growth in property tax revenue from the developments. The lone “no” ote came from Progressive Max Tracy, who said the city was still working with incomplete information. He also objected to plans to pay mall owner Don Sinex for the full value of the streets’ right-of-ways, estimated at $1.9 million, suggesting the city could strike a better deal. Ahead of the vote, the council reviewed a feasibility report from a Norwich firm called Doug Kennedy Advisors that concluded the Burlington Town Center redevelopment is financia ly viable. Sinex had commissioned the report at the city’s request. Parts of it — including anticipated lease and rent rates — are not being released to the public. The ci y also hired its own firm, ECONorthwest, to review the report. It came to the same conclusion but suggested the report could have provided more information about the financing of the project and also could have better examined how competing commercial and residential developments might affect the project. Mayor Miro Weinberger emphasized the safeguards included in the city’s predevelopment agreement with Sinex. The de eloper has agreed to pay up front for the public improvements, with the city reimbursing him after construction is complete. Additionally, the city won’t issue bonds to start paying him back until the Burlington Town Center has created enough new property tax revenue to pay for the debt service.

said of Seventh Generation. He praised Unilever’s commitment to sustainability and called Polman “one of the most courageous CEOs of any company I know,” noting that he’s refused to participate in quarterly earnings calls because he doesn’t want to focus on short-term growth over long-term investment. “It’s an interesting position for me, because when I was CEO, I was adamantly against selling the business, and I was pretty vocal about that,” Hollender acknowledged. He also pointed out that as a Seventh Generation shareholder, he profits from the sale. He said he’s not permitted to disclose how much.

Newman added: “In my opinion, John saved the company. He saved the soul of the company, and he saved the finances.” Newman has also been impressed by the approach Unilever took with Ben & Jerry’s. “They got off to a rough start, but I know a lot of people at Ben & Jerry’s today, and the passion is back, and the mission is back,” he said.

After charges that it fueled deforestation across Southeast Asia, Unilever has cleaned up its act under CEO Paul Polman, who arrived in 2009. The company now buys palm oil from places where it’s grown sustainably, and it has pledged to become carbon positive by 2030. As corporate overlords go, it is considered fairly benevolent. The best bellwether may be the reactions of Seventh Generation’s two creators. Newman and Hollender, who have feuded over the company’s direction, are on the same page this time.

As chair of the House Agriculture Committee for four years, he demonstrated his ability to work across party lines and welcome different perspectives to the debate. He is a smallbusiness owner and a working Vermonter who can relate to the challenges facing many Vermont families. I would argue that Zuckerman has been a leader of issues supported by the majority of Vermonters, not a “cheerleader for leftist causes.” They are everyone’s causes. The Center for Food Safety reported that “over 90 percent of Americans and Vermonters want to see genetically engineered foods labeled.” Supporting a raise in the minimum wage is not a leftist cause. Zuckerman has worked with a variety of local and community groups to help them advance legislation. We need a leader like Zuckerman who is addressing the climate crisis head-on, requiring a background check for every gun purchase, and has a consistent history of advocating for working Vermonters and families. Any Vermonter who is paying attention should see that there is only one candidate for lieutenant governor who will represent their needs in Montpelier.

IN DEFENSE OF LABELING

I am responding to Laura Hill’s letter [Feedback: “GMO Whoa,” August 31], which denounced the money Vermont spent defending its GMO labeling law. Vermont’s law raised awareness and challenged the cozy relationship between our federal government and the biotech industry. The federal law will take two years to implement and reveals the presence of GMO ingredients through QR bar codes, which is not a clear way to inform consumers. Hill defends genetic modification of food with science that indicates no significant human health threats. However, there has been virtually no independent testing of GMO foods. Biotech companies are generating the science. She says that gene transfer among unrelated organisms is a natural process. Adding genes to plants to make them herbicide tolerant (Roundup Ready) or to contain the BT pesticide is not a natural process, which encompasses the vast majority of GMO plants. I challenge Hill’s statement about uniting different forms of agriculture to feed the world. Coexistence is a fallacy. GMO crops are contaminating non-GMO crops. The assumption that we need GMOs to feed the world is industry propaganda. We have enough food to feed the world. It’s the uneven distribution of food and wealth that is the problem. She laments Lake Champlain’s water quality issues, which have been exacerbated by runoff from large dairy farms that are growing GMO crops and using herbicides. Chemical use has increased in Vermont since the advent of GMO crops. The lake would be cleaner if all our dairy farms in Vermont were organic. Matthew Ennis WINOOSKI

NOT-SO-GREAT SCOTT

Phil Scott’s health care program scares me [Off Message: “At Health Care Rollout, Scott Leaves Key Questions Unanswered,” September 7]. As a Medicaid beneficiary and taxpayer, I wonder what Scott’s opaque comment on Medicaid — “reducing Medicaid’s administrative costs” — is concealing under the hood. Does this mean throwing as many Vermonters off of Medicaid as he can get away with to create less of a need for “administrative costs”? Or does he want to privatize Medicaid? This has worked wonders in places like Kansas where its Tea Party governor, Sam Brownback, has privatized Medicaid and the federal government is investigating it for long waits and reduced care. Does Scott want to duplicate this?

Scott’s reticence on the subsidy issue or his nonchalant remarks on universal primary care — “I think it sounds expensive” — tells me what he values more than Vermonters’ access to health care. Universal primary care would save lives and money by allowing all Vermont residents access to primary care without deductibles and other roadblocks standing in the way. The subsidies are the only way many Vermonters can afford this crazy Unaffordable Care Act. No matter what Scott does with Vermont Health Connect, eliminating these subsidies would send more Vermonters into the uninsured ranks. Is this what Scott really wants to do? Scott’s health care plan is scary as much for what it says as for what it does not say, and I am voting for Sue Minter. Walter Carpenter

SEABA did an excellent job with the South End Art Hop again this year [“What’s Hoppening?” September 7]. It’s something that I look forward to at the end of every summer! I was very pleased to learn that Pine Street was to be closed this year during the busiest hours on Friday night. The safety of people in that busy corridor has always been a concern of mine, and I was glad to see that major steps had been taken. However, the transition at 10 p.m. from pedestrians to cars left something to be desired. My partner and I were yelled at by SEABA staff/volunteers for trying to ride our bikes in the northbound lane after 10 p.m. When I tried to explain that by law bikers can use the full lane since there is no bike lane, she told us to get onto the sidewalk, and also, “We got Pine Street closed as a gift to you guys. Don’t let them take it away.” A few things wrong with this: 1. Closing Pine Street was not a “gift.” It was a long-overdue obligation of the city to keep its citizens safe. Thank goodness for proactivity — finally. 2. SEABA should not be forced to police the road — this is the job of the city, especially when it makes the call to shut down the road. This is a really important event each year that draws in so many people. I want to make sure that it continues to be successful! Lorraine Carter-Lovejoy

A Prayer for Peace May we see the day when war and bloodshed cease, when a great peace will embrace the whole world. Then nation will not threaten nation and humanity will not again know war. For all who live on Earth shall realize we have not come into being to hate or to destroy. We have come into being to praise, to labor and to love. Compassionate God, bless the leaders of all nations with the power of compassion. Fulfill the promise conveyed in Hebrew Scripture: I will bring peace to land ravaged by war. You shall lie down and no one shall terrify you. Let love and justice flow like a mighty stream. Let peace fill the earth as the waters fill the sea. And let us say: Amen. â€” from Siddur Sim Shalom

year after his announcement that the town would welcome 100 Syrian refugees, Rutland Mayor CHRIS LOURAS asked a favor of Castleton University professor emeritus WILLIAM T. RAMAGE. He hoped that Ramage, who officially retired from his academic duties in 2007, would curate an exhibition of Syrian art. The show would not only serve as a welcome gesture to the city’s incoming Syrians, but also provide current residents with some cultural reference points. Ramage told Louras he’d do it, and secured funding from the university to boot. “The Syrian Experience as Art” opened at the CASTLETON UNIVERSITY BANK GALLERY (in the former Lake Sunapee Bank in downtown Rutland) on Sunday, September 18. A secondary arm of the show, featuring some of the same works, opened at the school’s CHRISTINE PRICE GALLERY in Castleton in late August. The two-venue exhibition features work by 12 Syrian artists from multiple countries. The show began even as political tensions coursed through Rutland’s population of approximately 16,500 (according to the 2010 census). Two community groups represent the poles of local attitudes toward resettlement: the proresettlement Rutland Welcomes and the generally anti-resettlement Rutland First. Ramage noted that, to date, no one has retaliated against the exhibition. “The word ‘refugees’ can strike a little fear,” he said. “The hope for this show [is] to put a human face on Syrians.” Though the artist and former prof has 40 years of experience curating exhibitions, this was his first endeavor working with artists outside the U.S. In the beginning, Ramage said, “I was emailing every Syrian artist I could find.” Luckily, one of the people he reached out to was Khaled Youssef, who lives in Nice, France. In addition to being a surgeon, artist and poet, Youssef is a founding member of the group SYRIA.ART. According to its website, the mission of this “deliberately apolitical” organization is “to promote contemporary Syrian art, artists, ideas and works, while also encouraging artistic exchange and dialogue between cultures.” Youssef is also a cofounder of the organizations Creative Havens: Syrian Artists and Their Studios and Syrian Art — Syrian Artists. He united the participating artists for the Vermont shows,

which Ramage conceded wouldn’t have been possible without Youssef and his network. The works on view are all digital; they were transmitted by email owing to the difficulties of arranging FedEx shipments from the Middle East, according to Ramage. He is adamant about not describing the images, which were printed locally at AWESOME GRAPHICS, as “reproductions.” The decision to show exclusively digitally transmitted art left Ramage with sufficient funds to host Youssef in Rutland for two weeks as a cultural ambassador. The pair planned a series of events, including lectures Youssef would deliver in the gallery and at area high schools. Those talks were to be titled

King Street Center Arts Interns Helped Bring the Refugee All Stars to Burlington BY KYM E LYA S ARI

elling lemonade on Burlington’s Church Street Marketplace is a summer tradition for the KING STREET CENTER, a youth-centric nonprofit organization. By staffing the lime-green-and-orange stand, kids pick up entrepreneurial skills and learn the value of hard work. This past summer, though, five KSC youths took part in a different kind of internship: M OL L I E H ART Instead of squeezing citrus into summer treats, they got hands-on experience with the arts and media. The goal of the program, called Only Make, was to plan a benefit concert by Sierra Leone’s Refugee All Stars, who Dave DeCristo and will perform on Saturday, October 1, Neema Modeste at music venue and recording studio SIGNAL KITCHEN. Although KSC offers a holistic education, including plenty of arts programs, the internship is the first of its kind for the center’s teens, said MOLLIE HART, who just departed as education director. There’s “more drive for basketball, tennis and not so much media” in that age group, she explained. “I want these kids to be aware of every field that they could go into and contribute [to],” Hart said. A friend of Signal Kitchen co-owner ALEX LALLI, she enlisted him and design/branding agency SOLIDARITY The interns screen printing their poster OF UNBRIDLED LABOUR to help her create the Only Make internship. According to Lalli, Only Make is less about developing specific skill components of the internship, said sets than about exposing the interns to she was pleasantly surprised by the careers in the arts. “It was just opening a teens’ enthusiasm. She thought she door to the possibility of it,” he said. would have to coax them to participate With the help of the music and design in brainstorming sessions, but “They professionals, the interns learned to put started throwing stuff out immediately,” together a concert.

chorus from fourth through eighth grade. The Burlington High School sophomore, who’s been going to KSC since she was in kindergarten, said the song the interns recorded is a joyful one about people coming together. MISKY NOOR, 14, said she’s learned what it takes to make a concert happen. “It was pretty fun,” the BHS freshman said of Only Make. She’ll bring her little sister to the concert, Misky added. Voorheis hopes the teens now realize that the creative fields they’ve explored offer career opportunities beyond being a musician or a fine artist. “There’s a ton of jobs, even right here in Burlington, they could go to college for,” she said. It wasn’t just the interns who benefited from the program. Solidarity’s LIZZIE BRIGHTLY said the collaboration with Signal Kitchen and KSC was a rare opportunity to show kids how the planning of an event draws different professionals together. “I hope there’s more of it in Burlington,” she said. On the day of the show, Lalli noted, the teens will assist in all onsite operations, including recording, sound engineering and production. “They will essentially be running the club and studio alongside us,” he said. Although the interns will not perform, Lalli said he wouldn’t be surprised if they ended up onstage with the band. But, said Hart, “The real impetus to come to the concert is to see a student production of music, design and, ultimately, of their creative endeavor.” All proceeds from ticket sales will help fund the expenses of the Only Make internship — and the adults who served as experts said they’d love to do it again.

FILM THINKING OUTSIDE THE BOX: VERMONT PBS LAUNCHES LOCAL FILM SERIES Vermont’s local public broadcasting affiliate is getting a lot more local. “Made Here,” which launched earlier this month, is a VERMONT PBS initiative spotlighting the work of local filmmakers. It’s being positioned as a “cornerstone brand,” according to president and CEO HOLLY GROSCHNER. She notes that the new programming is a shift in focus for a network that has traditionally produced its own local content in-house. “We’re putting more Vermont in Vermont PBS,” says Groschner, who assumed the network’s top post in February 2015. “° at’s because we want to be very relevant for our viewers, but it’s also because we live in a wonderful region of creatives, and those people who are visually creative need to be honored in our visual medium.” As an affiliate of the national broadcasting service, Vermont PBS has limits on the amount of local content it can show on its flagship network. Still, it nearly doubled its local programming in September compared with the previous month, according to data provided to Seven Days by JULIA ANDREWS, senior manager of member experience at the network. It also has full control over Vermont PBS Plus, a second HD channel that launched in July 2014, shortly after the network changed its name from Vermont Public Television. “Our goal in the next several years is to turn Plus into an entirely local channel,” says ERIC FORD, senior manager of local content. Initial entries in the “Made Here” series have highlighted Vermont filmmaking, past and present. “A Vermont Romance,” a 35-minute silent film from 1916 recently restored by the Vermont Archive Movie Project, was shown on September 15 — just one day after the 100th anniversary of its Burlington premiere. ° at same week, the network aired selections from the CASTLETON VIDEOFEST, a high school filmmaking contest that

mockumentary Man With a Plan, directed by Tunbridge native JOHN O’BRIEN. The 1996 cult classic, about a dairy farmer who launches an absurdist campaign for the U.S. House of Representatives, is notable for the real-life election mayhem it inspired. Fred Tuttle, the now-deceased farmer who played himself in the movie, later won the 1998 Republican U.S. Senate primary — before endorsing incumbent Democrat PATRICK LEAHY in the general election. “I think everybody needs a little bit of Fred right now,” Ford says. “We’re going to spread Fred.” Even as Vermont PBS looks back at the state’s history, it’s trying to stay forward-thinking in the age of cord cutting. VTPBS Passport, an on-demand video-streaming service that launched in September, allows supporters who donate a minimum of $5 a month to access the Vermont PBS library on the web or via devices such as Apple TV and Roku. While Groschner acknowledges the challenges facing traditional broadcast media, she sees the proliferation of streaming media options as a chance to reach more potential viewers. “The good news is, if ou’ve got really great content, there’s just more ways for people to find it. And I think that actually we’re in the era of opportunity,” Groschner adds. “TV is a mode of describing a kind of video content, and I think we can stop referring to it as a box in the living room.” LUKE BAYNES

Welcome to Vermont: Four Stories of Resettled Identity, a documentary about the assimilation of refugees from Iraq, Somalia, Bosnia and Rwanda into the Vermont community, had its broadcast premiere on September 22. Its director, Essex resident MIRA NIAGOLOVA, says she’s pleased that Vermont PBS has committed to airing the work of local filmmakers. “I think what they’re starting to do is great,” she says, “because we, the Vermont filmmakers, ha e been wanting to have exposure on our local TV station for years.” As part of a push to use local film content to engage directly with communities, Vermont PBS will host a screening of Welcome to Vermont on November 16 at the PARAMOUNT THEATRE in Rutland. Groschner says she hopes the films subject will be a “great conversation starter for the Rutland community.” The ci y made headlines in recent months after many Rutlanders objected to Mayor CHRIS LOURAS’ plan to bring 100 Syrian refugees to the city. Ford notes that 2017 will mark the 50th anniversary of the network, which began life as an educational arm of the University of Vermont and still carries the corporate name Vermont ETV Inc.

Why Did a Middlebury Bank Change Color Twice in the Span of a Few Weeks?

did a double take last month when I passed the National Bank of Middlebury’s drive-through location on Seymour Street. The big farmhouse-style building has been pale yellow for as long as I can remember. Seemingly overnight, it had been painted a shocking Smurf blue, with trim the color of Cookie Monster. There was a green accent in there somewhere, too. Whoa, I thought. That’s some serious blue. I didn’t dwell on the matter, but, several weeks later, as I tootled into the drive-through to drop off a check, I spotted workmen painting over the blue. Next time I drove by, the bank was pale yellow again. The change was so abrupt that I had to ask friends in town if anyone else had seen the blue. Had it all been a dream? No, it really happened, they confirmed. And a Seven Days reader from Monkton wrote to ask if we could find out why. “Seems like a lot of work,” D. Maloney noted. “It didn’t look like [the building] needed painting in the first place. [Was it] a colorblind painter? A feng shui mishap? An investor who doesn’t like blue?” WTF? Some locals took to Front Porch Forum to express their confusion. Thomas Curran wrote, “Someone didn’t like the nice blue paint on the bank? So they are changing it back. The paint contractor is laughing all the way to the bank. Must be someone with power and influence at the bank … probably not very cheerful, either.” Sandra Carletti expressed disappointment. “I was not aware of the intention to change that new, beautiful blue,” she wrote. “I know a lot of people, including myself, really like it. It cheers you up every time you drive by.” Not everyone felt that way, I learned as I dug into Middlebury’s Paintgate. Having decided to go directly to the source, I cruised through the NBM drivethrough, looking in vain for traces of blue beneath the pale yellow siding as I waited for my turn with the teller. Then I sidled up to the window. From the teller’s sheepish smile, I guessed I was not the first person to ask about the building’s face-lift and subsequent reversal. She blamed it on the shade of blue. There had been a mockup of the building’s new look, she said, and the blue was supposed to be more “slatey.” People in town didn’t like the

big, bold color, she told me, and they let the bank know about it. The teller urged me to consult the folks at the main office — who, she assured me, could give me a clearer explanation. So I moseyed over to the NBM Main Street headquarters. There I met Grover Usilton, senior vice president. He sighed when I brought up the Seymour Street paint job. He’d been hoping the dust would settle on this issue already, he said, and passed my query on to the bank’s president and CEO, Caroline Carpenter. “We have received many comments about our paint choices,” Carpenter wrote in an email. “Some liked the blue we tried, and some like the new color. Our final color may not get everyone’s vote, and we respect that is part of community life — different points of views and different opinions. We appreciate and value the interest our community has shown. We are happy that our Seymour Street office has a fresh coat of paint.” Fair enough, but I still had questions. How much does a project like that cost? And if people didn’t like the

swimming-pool blue, why go back to the pale yellow and not try again for the intended slate shade? I called my friend Joe Schine, who paints houses for a living. He, too, happened to be passing by while contractors painted over the blue hue. Such a project would cost at least $12,000, he and a colleague estimated. “Painting is expensive work,” Schine said. “People think it’s an easy thing to do. But it actually requires close attention and methodical work to do a good job.” Schine guessed that something must have been off in the original mockup. “Paint colors these days are very exact,” he told me. Precise shades can be replicated using just a quarter-size sample. Or perhaps the bank simply didn’t take into account that a bold color always looks bolder when scaled up. “One thing that painters know is that when you look at the swatch, [and then] when you cover a whole wall with that, it’s going to be brighter,” Schine said. Schine connected me to another contractor, who tipped me off to Lanny Smith & Sons Painting, the New Haven-based

contractors hired to redo the bank postSmurf coat. Smith emphasized that his company was not responsible for the blue. “I’m the painter who painted it yellow,” he said. Working through Labor Day weekend, he and his crew finished the job in six days. The bank had only been blue for about a month. When people saw him painting it yellow again, Smith says, some thanked him. But he couldn’t tell me the name of the contractor responsible for the blue. Schine was tickled by the drama a little color had caused in his town. The paint job was a “big fucking deal,” he said, laughing. Middlebury is a fairly conservative burg, he noted, where big changes — especially when it comes to aesthetics — are few and far between. The bank broke the mold with its fresh coat of blue, but now it’s back to business as usual. m

THE WIZARD OF AWE

Any discussion of Bennett’s work should probably start with Phish and their festivals. Actually, it should start with Bread and Puppet Theater. Many artistic roads in Vermont seem to lead back to Glover. Bennett grew up outside Manhattan and moved to Vermont in 1971. He worked as a builder and founded NorthLand in 1978. After seeing a Bread and Puppet pageant at Goddard College in the early 1980s, Bennett began working with the radical avantgarde theater troupe. He counts founder Peter Schumann as a crucial inspiration, both artistically and politically. On his website, Bennett describes himself as a “designer, builder, sculptor, social activist and planner within his community” — all qualities embodied by Bread and Puppet. “Those influences are forever,” says Bennett of his time with Schumann. “People use the word ‘genius’ all the time, like they use ‘wow’ and ‘beautiful.’ But he’s a true genius.” Among the many lessons Bennett took from Schumann — and perhaps the most impactful on his own artistic worldview — is that confusing people can be a good thing. “You hear people say oftentimes, ‘I don’t really know what that was about,’” Bennett explains. “What that means is, you’ve done some really good stuff. You’ve made people think about something.” Bennett is prone to digressions. Explaining how he got from puppets to Phish, he riffs on metaphors involving highway infrastructure, food systems and George W. Bush, among other topics. Honestly, it’s a little confusing. But then, what are a magician’s greatest allies if not deception and sleight of hand? “The brain is an editor of information, and not just through your eyes,” says Bennett. “We can really communicate so much faster and on many levels using different methods and senses.” Bakerpuppeteer-activist Schumann would no doubt agree. Bennett worked with the theater group until the mid-1990s, right around the time that Phish came calling with an idea for a music festival. “They wanted to do something different,” says Bennett. “I had no idea.” The idea was the Clifford Ball, a weekend-long fest at the former Air Force base in Plattsburgh, and the

kingdom is Bennett’s tree house, situated two stories up in a thick grove. When you encounter it in the woods, it takes a minute to register what you’re looking at. With an aesthetic ripped from the pages of The Hobbit, the tree house is simply astonishing. And, in true Bennett fashion, it is both a product and a reflection of its surroundings. The structure was made almost entirely of lumber from his land. In an effort to “honor the wood,” he processed the timber as little as possible, leaving natural bends and knots. There isn’t a straight line or right angle anywhere. While Bennett’s projects are often whimsical and R US S BE NNE T T infused with style, the builder seems to have a functional principle in mind: facilitating social interaction. That, and making things look really cool. Those tenets hold whether Bennett is working on smaller projects, such as sprucing up the Ben & Jerry’s scoop shop in Burlington, or larger ones, such as constructing city-size music festivals and designing and building lavish homes for clients throughout the Green Mountains. Bennett even plans to make his woodpile a piece of functional art. As he leads a reporter around his property, he notes the huge mound of split logs piled on his back lawn. “When I get around to stacking that, I’ll do something fun with it,” he promises. Then, inadvertently summing up his design philosophy, he adds, “If you’re going to do the work anyway, you

uss Bennett sits on the small front patio of his modest mountainside house in Moretown. Strains of bebop jazz can be heard faintly from within, rolling down his gently sloping lawn and adding to the serenity surrounding him. That tranquility contrasts sharply with the difficulties of getting to his home, a journey that entails navigating a series of increasingly steep, winding and narrow dirt roads, inevitable wrong turns and one angry dog with an apparent thing for chasing lost journalists. Bennett is a hard man to track down. Wizards usually are. That he is staring into the MacBook on his lap does little to diminish his mystical aura. He’s probably Skyping with his twin brother, Gandalf. Bennett isn’t wearing flowing robes. He’s a jeans and T-shirt kind of guy. Still, his long white hair and matching beard make him a dead ringer for Tolkien’s iconic mage. You won’t catch Bennett casting spells or battling ancient demons. But he is a magician of a high order, even if his sorcery is more of the man-behind-the-curtain variety. The founder of NorthLand Visual Design & Construction, Bennett, 66, is a master builder and a genius at morphing the ordinary into the extraordinary. His design work in Vermont has helped transform businesses. His work on Phish mega-festivals — as well as on the Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival in Tennessee — has served as an inspirational template for modern musicfestival culture. Examples of Bennett’s unique brand of architectural alchemy can be found all over the country, from the steampunk-chic aesthetic of the Magic Hat Artifactory in South Burlington to the rustic charm of Red Hen Baking and Nutty Steph’s in Middlesex to the eclectic Outside Lands festival in San Francisco. Or you could just take a look around his yard. Bennett’s plain two-story house is, as mountaintop lairs go, unremarkable.

The view of the eastern face of the Green Mountains from the patio, however, is spectacular. “When I built the place, you could see Mansfield,” he says, pointing to a stand of trees at the edge of the lawn. “Someday I should probably cut those down.” As he waves his hand, I half expect the trees simply to vanish. Then his hand drifts slightly left. “Those are pretty cool, though.” A few yards in front of the woods stand two tall, straight trees. One appears to have died some years ago; at its top hangs a spherical metal contraption that calls to mind a gizmo from a 1950s sci-fi movie. Midway up the adjacent tree, hang-glider-size turquoise “leaves” circle the mostly limbless trunk. The sphere and leaves are, Bennett explains, among his “leftovers” from various music festivals and installations — including all 10 Phish festivals. The leaves are from Coventry in 2004. Hidden all over the woods surrounding his house are “lemonheads,” the semi-creepy lemon-topped masks from 1998’s Lemonwheel in Plattsburgh, N.Y. When you catch them in your peripheral vision, they almost seem to be watching you. Perhaps they are. On the southern end of Bennett’s property, large cartoon hands point the way into the woods. Or, perhaps, to Narnia. There’s a funky outbuilding from some festival that Bennett uses as a bunkhouse. Its interior walls are covered in the scrawled signatures of past guests. There’s a 20-foot-tall mirror ball from Super Ball IX, the 2011 Phish festival in Watkins Glen, N.Y. Members of Phish and other local musicians have been known to jam inside the sphere because of its near-perfect acoustics. Elsewhere in the yard rests a 15-footlong pencil that used to sit in front of Bennett’s Waitsfield shop. And there’s a hammock, which is just an ordinary hammock — even wizards need naps. The crown jewel of this magical

first of the band’s 10 mega-festivals. It would draw more than 70,000 people. Bennett’s task was essentially to create a temporary city on the base — one nearly four times the size of Plattsburgh and, for that August weekend in 1996, the ninth largest in the state of New York. “We’re going to have a city, so we thought we should have a park, a place for social congress to happen,” says Bennett. He and his crew created Ball Square, a carnival-like city center. They populated it with buskers and street performers, some from Bread and Puppet. Bennett enlisted a veritable army of artists and builders to construct the city and give it what he likes to call “an artistic flavor.” Among those artists was Lars Fisk, a Vermontborn sculptor now based in Brooklyn. He has worked with Bennett on every Phish fest — one of his sculptures, titled “The Barn Ball,” is the cover image of Phish’s 2002 album Round Room. Over the years, Fisk and Bennett have developed a close working relationship. But it didn’t start out that way. “It was difficult at first,” says Fisk of working with Bennett. “He has such a strong leadership sensibility. So for us to become collaborators on a more intimate level and become comfortable took a lot of work. Once we arrived at that point, it was a really great experience.” Perhaps the highest point of that experience was the 2003 festival in Limestone, Maine, named simply It. Fisk calls that fest “the pinnacle” of his Phish collaborations with Bennett. “We developed an idea called ‘the

sunk city,’” Fisk says. The concept, he explains, was the postapocalyptic ruin of a city that had been allowed to sink back into the earth. “You had a commercialminded society that was somewhat like Times Square or Las Vegas, all of which was half submerged in the ground, so you would only see the top portion of whatever was left of the city,” he recalls. “It was pretty cool.” Fisk worked with Phish bassist Mike Gordon and designer Scott Campbell to develop nonsensical verbiage for Times

Square-esque signage on the festival grounds. Bennett created a system of catwalks that wound through, over, under and around the recessed cityscape. “It felt like nature had taken over again after civilization had sunk into the muck,” says Fisk, who cites the halfsunken Statue of Liberty from the iconic final scene of Planet of the Apes as an inspiration. “Russ is demanding,” says Burlington sculptor Kat Clear. “But it’s only because he has an overactive imagination. He sees possibilities where sometimes no one else does.” Clear is an acclaimed local metal artist. She’s worked with Bennett on numerous projects, including three Phish

festivals. Among her contributions to Super Ball IX was an after-hours club designed to replicate the innards of a human-scale pinball machine. “Basically, it functioned as though you were the ball in the pinball machine,” Clear says. “It was as close as you could be to being literally interactive art. Russ pushed me further in making this, the most epic thing I think I’ve ever made.” “Phish is like free-jazz collaboration,” says Bennett, comparing his festival creations with that band to his work at Bonnaroo. He’s served as the head of visual design for the latter since its inception in 2002. “Phish might have a particular viewpoint or direction that the name [of the festival] might be evocative of,” Bennett notes. He and his crew try to represent that vision and play along by threading other artistic disciplines through the tapestry of a Phish festival. At a festival like Bonnaroo or Outside Lands, featuring a wide array of bands of various genres, Bennett says the design might be more eclectic, less focused on a single theme. “At Bonnaroo, we have a jazz tent — which, when you’re in it, you would never believe you were on a farm. It’s like going into a giant Vanguard experience,” he says, alluding to famed New York City jazz club the Village Vanguard. What these festivals have in common is another Bennett specialty: inspiring the suspension of disbelief. “And that’s a form of art, as well,” says the designer. “In both instances, I think people are living at a higher level than they live the rest of their lives, and they are desperate to live that way.” Though his best trick may be world

building, Bennett bristles at the suggestion that he’s conjuring an alternate reality. “I resist the notion of ‘going back’ to the real world,” he says. “It’s all reality. None of this is not real. Something might be aberrant from your day-to-day life. But it’s all real.”

Bennett’s tree house is emblematic of his best and most creative work, much of which can be found in Vermont. It is warm, welcoming, mysterious and aweinspiring. And it is a place for “social congress,” as he calls it. Bennett often invites guests from various parts of his life to come and sit on the tree house deck, have drinks and share ideas. “You have to have bad ideas, and you have to let them out,” he advises. “Because the more you try not to have bad ideas, the more they just get in the way.” Bennett also lets local community planning groups use the tree house for meetings. “The only stipulation is that they have to agree to have better ideas here than wherever else they would have met,” he says. The tree house is representative of Bennett’s commercial work in yet another way: Impressive as it is, it is an eternal work in progress. “There is always some way to make it a little better,” he says, running his hand over a window frame made of boughs. Bennett designed and built the original Magic Hat Artifactory, the brewery’s retail store in South Burlington. Playing on the company’s theme of melding “alchemy and science,” the space, which he has since helped renovate, is cavernous, dark and esoteric. It contrasts starkly with the bright tasting room/gift shops

off a red-eye [flight] and come straight here just to check in and see how things are going.” “The greatest paintings have been painted over many times,” says Bennett, explaining his habit of following up with clients. “You’re just looking at the last iteration.” Right now, he’s in the development stage with another iteration: of the façade at the ECHO Leahy Center for Lake Champlain, just across Waterfront Park from Foam. Bennett also created an interactive exhibition for children called Champ Lane inside the science center. “It’s very much a hardscape, urban all the way around,” says Bennett of ECHO’s current exterior. “People walk by it, but they’re not within it.” He won’t divulge specifics of how the renovation will look. But, if his résumé is any indication, the results will be a marvel of both form and function. “We can help through the use of art and good planning,” Bennett explains. “So that when you look at the building and the things around the building, you have already entered it; so that the message about water and science and fish and all that stuff is more present on the outside. “It’s like stacking the wood,” he continues. “You can just stack it. Or you can make it into different shapes and make your eye run across the landscape a little bit. You can take all the work that you’re going to do and do it with an artistic flavor,” Bennett concludes. “And it will return more.” m

The Artifactory features an extensive tour ramp that, after a number of twists and turns, deposits visitors directly above the production floor. “He’s creative as hell,” says Magic Hat cofounder Alan Newman, a serial entrepreneur who is a bit of a wizard himself. Newman also founded or cofounded Gardener’s Supply and Seventh Generation. He is currently co-owner of the nightclub Higher Ground. “He has similar habits as me,” Newman observes of Bennett. “Tell him it can’t be done, and get the fuck out of the way.” Newman says Bennett’s most important skill is often overlooked: execution. “Anybody can have cool ideas. But to execute them well, to bring them to life, is special,” he says. Bennett understands that a project is never truly finished. He recently designed and built the interior of Foam Brewers on the Burlington waterfront. It’s an eye-popping room dominated by exposed brick, wood beams and reclaimed metal — the last fashioned by Clear. The centerpiece is a bar that, unlike typical straight or horseshoeshaped models, undulates from the back wall. The idea is to encourage socializing, a Bennett hallmark. If you’re sitting at the bar — or at similarly shaped tables around the room — you don’t need to lean in to talk to someone. Because of the curves, patrons are naturally situated to interact. Though the brewpub opened in April, Bennett regularly checks in to see what needs improvement. “How a space behaves has a lot to do with how it succeeds,” he says. “Russ is in here constantly,” says Foam cofounder Todd Haire, the former master brewer at Magic Hat. “He’ll get

urlington artist John Douglas has been making socially and politically conscious art in Vermont since the mid-’80s. Earlier this month, he exhibited a video work-in-progress titled “Auto Warming” in the South End Art Hop — and took first place in the juried show. The complex animation depicts a field of cars slowly being submerged under an everrising tide. Some gallerygoers may remember Douglas’ photographs from a 2013 show at the Furchgott Sourdiffe Gallery in Shelburne. Those depicted rocks floating mysteriously above placid waters. Earlier exhibits featured photographs from his “Homeland Security” series, in which Douglas appeared buck naked — save for an M16 slung over his shoulder and strategically covering certain body parts — in various postures and locations, including the Statehouse lawn. It’s fair to say that his art has never been safe. On September 10, Douglas crushed that M16 assault rifle during a steamroller-printing event at Helen Day Art Center in Stowe. Yes — he made a print of an assault rifle with an industrial steamroller, the kind used to smooth sidewalks after paving. It’s not a new process, but it’s an apt one when you’re seeking to make fine-art prints and crush the image of a weaponized society. Massachusetts-born Douglas attended several schools in the late 1950s, including Harvard University, the Tufts School of the Museum of Fine Arts and Boston University, then was drafted into the U.S. Army in 1961. After the service and before coming to Vermont — where he lives with longtime partner and fellow artist Eleanor Lanahan — Douglas was an activist and documentary filmmaker. On his own or with others, he made shorts and features on subjects such as Vietnam War draft resisters, Haitian refugees in New York and the U.S. invasion of Grenada. Now 78, Douglas hasn’t slowed down. He continues to work on “Auto Warming” and on a piece called “Ojihozo,” which involves multiple photos and videos of a rock formation by that name on Lake

Champlain. In an Abenaki origin story, Ojihozo is a legless mythical being who created the lake, then settled in it to witness its beauty. Seven Days recently chatted with the artist about his work in his Burlington studio. What follows is excerpted from a much longer conversation. SEVEN DAYS: How do you describe your profession? JOHN DOUGLAS: At one point I said “artist,” but you might put “filmmakerslash-artist.” When I came up [to Vermont] from filmmaking, I moved into computer-generated imagery. I had just finished a film in Grenada where half the people I had been working with had been killed. After a while I decided, having tried to change the world [with documentary film], I’d be an artist. SD: How long have you been making socially conscious, political artwork? JD: Mississippi really was the beginning. Coming back to the States [in the early

’60s after the army], knowing what was going on down South, at that point I felt a clear commitment to do something, and so the possibility of making film down there was [snaps fingers] like that. So I bought a Bolex [camera] and two lenses for $600. It’s a video camera that you wind up, a 16mm camera. This was right on the heels of the march on Washington, the sit-ins, Freedom Summer, all of that. So this old friend of mine had been down there for Freedom Summer [in 1964] and had been in contact with people involved in Strike City — five families … who were thrown off a plantation and put their tents on the White House lawn. The film [we made] is a whole documentation of that period. A year later, I was part of the inception of a group called Newsreel, political filmmakers. [The People’s War] was the first film the U.S. made in Vietnam [in 1969]. And it was shown and won prizes, not only in [the U.S.] but in Russia. Strike City was turned down by [the Public Broadcasting Service]

because “it needed subtitles,” apparently. Milestones [about individuals who sought radical solutions to social problems] was three and a half hours long. PBS said, “It would be interesting if we just cut to the violence…” I said, “Fuck off, PBS.” The last film, Grenada: [The] Future Coming Toward Us [1983], they didn’t want that. [Since then], I’ve been doing a bunch of computer animation. SD: Did you have formal training in art and design? JD: I started off in the fine arts department. I remember thinking, Man, there’s more going on here than people are telling us. I remember sitting in the back of the room with this woman friend being like, “What the fuck are we doing here?” I was artistic — at an early age, I guess. My grandmother was a serious painter in Chicago. I’m just saying — it wasn’t an art school that sharpened my talents.

SD: What drew you to film as a medium? JD: In the military, I was taking pictures and working in the darkroom on the side. My brother got an 8mm [movie camera] for his wedding and he didn’t want it, so he gave it to me. The idea of filmmaking was just a logical extension of photography for me at that point. I was a pretty serious painter before I got drafted. So this was after a pretty serious period of painting, and also sculpture and welding.

YOU SPEND SOME TIME IN SOME GUN STORE, AND — HOLY SHIT.

JOH N DOU GL AS

SD: Recently, you flattened an M16 with a steamroller. Can you talk me through that action/performance? JD: It’s funny, because [Burlington City Arts] had done some printing with a steamroller years ago, and I thought, That would be fantastic. So, when I saw it happening over at Helen Day, I prepared pieces of Masonite, painted them white and took them over there. And I brought over some spray-paint, and they said, “No, no, no. Use this ink!” Unbelievable, thick, globby ink. [That idea] was prompted by all the “No Killing” stuff [a manifesto against killing any living beings] and the idea of crushing [the rifle.] There’s a guy in Denmark who wants to buy the original [print] already. So I’ll have to mount it and frame it and shit like that.

SD: What are you working on now? JD: I’m finishing editing “Ojihozo” and continuing to develop the “Auto Warming” piece [for the BCA Center exhibit “Of Land & Local”], and I just finished mounting and gold-leafing those prints in [my studio]. And after this, I will still keep taking pictures of Ojihozo, and I’m still working on “Auto Warming.” That’s what I’m working on. m

SD: In “Homeland Security,” you use an M16 and your naked body to contemplate ideas of violence and power. Why an M16? Why naked? JD: It was, “I’m getting an M16 if Bush is elected.” Because I wanted to understand that level of violence and people’s attachment and relationship to it. And I tell you, you spend some time in some gun store, and — holy shit. I went to this one out in Williston, and there’s this guy, [Drug Enforcement Administration] or whatever, talking to this other guy behind the counter about how he shot some guy right in the face — “blew him away, man.”

So I ordered a 9-millimeter AR [online], which is particularly designed for close-range killing. They can’t send it to me from some gun store in Missouri, so they send it to the gun store [here,] and the guy says, “Oh, Douglas, yeah, we got something here for you” [pantomimes the clerk opening the box], and then, “Oh, shit, is this legal?” And when I’m filling out the form, it says, “Race,” and I write, “human race,” and the guy says, “No, no, no, no. If you’re going to play these games, you’re not getting this weapon.” So I write, “White.” [Buying it] was an experience on its own, and that’s not even firing the weapon. [The project] was like, How the fuck to put this weapon into a context where you can see it for what it is? [In] the early shots, I was sitting around with Blackwater hats, parkas, just like [a military contractor.] But you couldn’t make it horrifying if you were dressed up like them. I don’t remember how I got to being naked. But it was like, OK, now you see the preposterousness of this relationship.

BY K E N P IC AR D

llie was almost too fat to fly — not that this journalist’s untrained eye could spot an excess ounce or two on a 1.6pound red-tailed hawk. That anatomical assessment came from Austin Ebbott as she donned a thick leather glove and lifted the young raptor out of her car to take him flying. Ebbott, 26, belongs to a rare breed of Vermonters: those who practice the ancient sport of falconry. Only 12 Vermonters are currently licensed to hunt with birds of prey, according to the Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department (FWD), and even fewer keep birds of their own. Ebbott, a licensed apprentice falconer who divides her time between Manchester and Burlington, is one of just four Vermont women who do so. Once the exclusive realm of sultans, kings and emperors, falconry remains a rarefied sport, and with good reason. Keeping a hawk is less a pastime than an all-consuming lifestyle, demanding huge commitments of time, money and attention to detail. Consider Ollie’s weight. Like most falconers, Ebbott focuses intensely on it. She’s been known to weigh her bird several times a day and can cite subtle caloric distinctions in the effects that quail, beef, chicken and rabbit meat have on his body. “It’s a delicate balance,” she explained, while adjusting the jesses, or leather restraints, affixed to Ollie’s legs. “To train him, I had to get him to a weight where he’s hungry enough where he wants to work — but not too hungry so he lacks energy when he’s chasing the prey.” This particular outing, in Burlington’s Oakledge Park early last week, was their last together. After Ollie’s 10 months in captivity, Ebbott would release him back into the wild on Sunday. Eighty percent of juvenile red-tailed hawks die in their first year due to starvation or other mishaps, she noted. Fattening him up beyond his normal flying weight was, in effect, just the conclusion of everything she’s done for the young tiercel since last fall — giving him a head start in life.

Austin Ebbott with Ollie

As Ebbott entered a grassy field with Ollie on her gloved fist, nearby sparrows and chipmunks instantly alerted one another to the predator’s presence with urgent chirps and clicks. Ollie barely moved a muscle until Ebbott cast him into the wind with a wide sidearm sweep. The hawk soared to the top of a nearby tree, his mottled brown and white feathers camouflaging him within the branches. The occasional jingle of brass bells on Ollie’s ankles helped us pinpoint his location, as would a tiny radio transponder attached to one leg if he flew beyond Ebbott’s line of sight. But neither form of telemetry, ancient or modern, guaranteed his return. “He has the choice, every single time we’re out flying, to come back to me or not. I can’t force him to do anything,” Ebbott noted. Had she actually been hunting with Ollie that afternoon, Ebbott said, she would have brought him to a wilder area, such as Burlington’s Intervale, which offers better quarry. She’d position him in a tree, then beat the bushes below with a large stick to flush out rabbits, squirrels, mice, chipmunks or voles. On this particular afternoon,

however, Ebbott was simply demonstrating Ollie’s abilities, and her own. “People get into falconry for many reasons,” she said. “Some people enjoy the sport of small-game hunting. I got into it because I think it’s cool that he allows me to come into his world and help him find prey.” But Ebbott said she never confused the trust that Ollie placed in her with the devotion and affection of, say, a family dog. “I definitely have a deep love and respect and admiration for him,” she continued. “Sometimes I think he just thinks of me as a refrigerator.” With that, Ebbott opened a plastic baggie filled with chunks of day-old chicks, held one between her gloved fingers and blew a whistle. No response. “He’s in his petulant-teenager phase,” she said apologetically, then whistled again. This time, Ollie practically did a freefall from the treetop, carving a silent parabola above the grass at waist height; with barely a flutter of his wings, he alighted on Ebbott’s fist. Glance away for a second, and you’d completely miss his stealth approach — a potentially fatal

error, if you happened to be a rodent within a quarter-mile radius. Little wonder that falconer Helen Macdonald, author of the recent New York Times best-seller H Is for Hawk, referred to her goshawk as “thirty ounces of death in a feathered jacket.” Ebbott often geeks out on hawk talk. Red-tailed hawks are extremely energy efficient, she noted, citing one study, from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, that found the raptors spend 96 percent of their day sitting still and only fly when they must. Ebbott wasn’t always a bird nerd; she didn’t even like birds as a child, she admitted. A native of Redding, Conn., she grew up in Manchester, Vt., with house pets — dogs, cats, guinea pigs, a rat — but never any of the “feathered variety.” A few years ago, a family friend introduced Ebbott to Rob Waite, a master falconer and 18-year director of the British School of Falconry in Manchester. When America’s first-ever falconry school shut its doors after Tropical Storm Irene, Waite assumed ownership and moved it to a new location under its current name, Green Mountain Falconry School. It was there that Ebbott discovered her “obsession.”

By law, Ebbott had to apprentice under a general or master falconer before getting her own license. Waite, who already had an apprentice at the time, was reluctant to take on another. “To be honest, one is plenty. But she was persistent,” Waite recalled. “One of the reasons I was willing to take on Austin was because when I saw her working with birds, I could tell she was a very quick learner and just had the right reactions in every situation.” Ebbott, who currently works as a vet technician in Shelburne while preparing for veterinary school, shadowed Waite for two years before obtaining her falconer’s license. That entailed paying a $250 state application fee, taking a hunter safety course and passing an exam on falconry. Next, she had to build housing for a raptor, get it inspected by the FWD and then find a bird of her own. That last step is easier said than done. Apprentice falconers in Vermont may only possess a red-tailed hawk that’s been trapped in the wild as a juvenile. General and master falconers are permitted to keep other raptors, too, including nonnative species and birds bred in captivity. Why do apprentices keep only redtailed hawks? Mostly because they’re so abundant, explained Jon Kart, the FWD wildlife biologist who issues Vermont’s falconry licenses. Hawks leave the nest

in summer and have just a few months to learn how to fly and hunt and find a home territory. As most won’t survive the winter, the state allows falconers to trap juveniles between September 1 and January 25. Ebbott captured Ollie in November 2015 near Addison County’s Snake Mountain. As she explained, that task alone is enough to weed out all but the most committed would-be falconers. It began, she explained, with driving for days on end, scouring roadside trees and power poles for a trace of her quarry. Juvenile red-tailed hawks were rare in 2015 owing to the previous long, harsh winter. When Ebbott finally spotted one, she’d drive up slowly, gently place a wire trap baited with gerbils on the ground, then drive away, watch from afar and wait. And wait. “It looks a little sketchy, driving back and forth and looking through binoculars,” Ebbott admitted with a laugh. How long did it take her to catch Ollie? “He was relatively quick, actually, about 40 hours of driving,” she recalled. “There was another falconer who tried for four months last year and didn’t get one. It was a really tough year.” That was only the beginning of a long and intense training process, one that Kart likens to “having a baby.” Ebbott brought Ollie home and set him up in a dark basement with a hood over his

head, which has a calming effect, like blinders on a horse. Fortuitously, Ebbott trapped Ollie around Thanksgiving, when she didn’t have the distraction of work or school. For days, she stayed in the basement with him, often for 20hour sessions, then slowly increased the light to acclimate him to her presence. “You’re sitting there, literally motionless, eyes averted and trying to be as nonthreatening as possible,” she said. “Unlike dogs and other domestic animals, [hawks] don’t respond to punishment. So it all has to be positive reinforcement.” Ollie took food from Ebbott’s hand within 36 hours of being trapped, which is considered good progress. Soon she was walking him around the neighborhood on her glove, introducing him to potentially anxiety-provoking objects such as dogs, cars and other people. Eventually, Ollie stopped “bating,” or trying to fly off her fist while restrained. In typical falconry form, she kept his jesses gripped tight in her glove and “wrapped around my little finger” — which, she pointed out, is the origin of that expression. Within two weeks, Ebbott was flying Ollie free and getting him to return to the glove. All last winter and spring, she flew him four or five days a week for 40 minutes to two hours at a time. For 10 months, Ebbott reorganized her life to accommodate the hawk’s schedule of flying, feeding and hunting; friends began calling her “the crazy bird lady.” Ebbott had planned to release Ollie in the spring — but then he contracted a near-deadly roundworm infection. She nursed him back to health and waited out his summer molt. When two tail feathers didn’t grow in properly, she and her mentor grafted in new ones using a centuries-old technique known as “imping,” before releasing him near Snake Mountain on Sunday. In Vermont, falconers aren’t required to release wild-caught hawks. Ebbott just felt it was the right thing to do. “He’s a wild bird,” she said, “and he deserves to go back to the wild.” This fall, Ebbott plans to trap and train another hawk, but she admitted she’ll miss Ollie, her first. “His presence has definitely enriched my life,” she added. “I hope it’s been the same for him.” m Contact: ken@sevendaysvt.com

aterbury Festival Playhouse brings an old favorite to central Vermont with its production of Steel Magnolias. A play told exclusively through beautyparlor chat runs the risk of being trifling, overacted, antifeminist or all three. But the Players present an ensemble piece that is both touching and laugh-out-loud funny. First produced in 1987, Steel Magnolias was written by Robert Harling in memory of his sister, Susan, who died at age 33 of diabetes. It was enormously successful from the start, with a quick rise to Broadway and a 1989 film adaptation starring Sally Field, Dolly Parton, Shirley MacLaine and Julia Roberts. That star-studded cast delivered iconic performances, but the Playhouse steers clear of cheap Hollywood imitations. Helmed by artistic director George Pierce, this Steel Magnolias stands apart from the film. Waterbury Festival Playhouse, the venue, is a “fabric building,” as the website calls it — adding, “sort of a tent, but not really” — and blankets are available in case audience members get chilly. Upon arrival, they’re transported to the mid-1980s. Preshow music includes hits such as “Don’t Stop Believin’,” “Into the Groove” and “Summer of ’69.” Set designer Rick Loya and properties designer Kathy Barickman have created an in-home beauty parlor onstage. Picture bonnet hair dryers, salon chairs and posters featuring teased-out curls. Sitting in a Goodwill bin somewhere is an aerobics leotard the same neon green as these salon walls. The dialogue offers amusing Southernisms such as, “Honey, there’s so much static electricity in here, I pick up everything except boys and money.” Salon owner Truvy Jones gets to utter many of these quips. Holly Biracree portrays Truvy’s ditzy quirks with endearing charm. Her hairstyles and manicures are tiny expressions of love. In the opening scene, Truvy is testing the skills of new hire Annelle DupuyDesoto. Sarah Venooker delivers a transformative performance; her character exhibits a new dominant trait in nearly every scene — including a Pinterestlevel obsession with crafting. Truvy tells Annelle that Saturday mornings in the beauty parlor are

reserved for the neighborhood ladies. And one by one, they file in. Ginger Pierce plays Clairee Belcher, the former mayor’s widow, embodying the role of a wise matriarch with elegance and grace. Pierce also served as costume designer and deserves kudos for the wigs and multiple wardrobe changes that enhance the world of this play. Clairee’s unlikely best friend, Ouiser (pronounced “Weezer”) Boudreaux, whirls onto the stage like a bat out of hell, her barking dog wreaking havoc outside, and steals the show with her witty insults. Ouiser cuts the sweetness of her costars with sharp lines such as, “He’s a real gentleman. I’ll bet he takes the dishes out of the sink before he pees in it.” Ramona Godfrey is a pure delight in the role, particularly as she delivers some of the more memorable quotes. “I’m not crazy; I’ve just been in a very bad mood for 40 years” could be a bumper sticker. The center of Steel Magnolias is the story of M’Lynn Eatenton and her daughter, Shelby, brought to life in

this production by Linda Iannuzzi and Amanda Menard, respectively. Initially, they bicker over trivial matters, such as which hairstyle Shelby should wear at her upcoming wedding. But when Shelby’s serious battle with diabetes is revealed, it’s clear that M’Lynn’s stern control over her daughter stems from deep worry. Shelby’s argumentative defiance comes from a desperate need to grab her frail life by the horns and live it her way. Iannuzzi and Menard’s onstage chemistry creates a tension that nonetheless shows an undercurrent of unconditional love. The sum of the cast is greater than its parts. The women of this Steel Magnolias deliver unique performances that harmonize into one satisfying chord. The cast’s first preview performance was marred by some dropped lines and onstage fumbles in the first act. But in the second, the actors hit their stride. Their sparks of joy made the play feel spontaneous and vibrant. Most notably, when we learned that M’Lynn would donate a kidney to save Shelby’s life,

the theater was electric with suspense. The weight of worry was heavy in the ensemble’s silence. Outside the Playhouse, a cricket chirped as Shelby said goodbye to her friends for the last time. Unfortunately, before leaving this scene, Shelby turned on the radio, which jarringly blasted out “Freeze Frame” (by rockers the J. Geils Band). The soundscape of Waterbury’s production leaves something to be desired; songs are often distracting and sometimes undermine the good work being done onstage. Surely the ’80s produced music that would be more appropriate for that harrowing scene? The climax came when Iannuzzi delivered her monologue about Shelby’s death with raw emotion and vulnerability. She was not tempted by the dramatics of the moment to pace the stage and call out to the heavens. Rather, she remained in her salon chair and uttered a lament that, on preview night, left some audience members choking up. Iannuzzi seemed emboldened by the rapt attention of the other cast members. The sincerity of each woman’s heartbreak was apparent, with not a caricature in sight. Real catharsis occurs throughout this performance. Whether in laughter or in tears, the ensemble of Steel Magnolias carries this story admirably. The next two weekends offer the only opportunity to see this Waterbury semiprofessional troupe, which produces one show per season. Pierce hinted at the possibility of a longer season next year, but for now, Steel Magnolias is it. And it is an opportunity to seize. m

oet Elizabeth A.I. Powell edits Green Mountains Review and teaches at Johnson State College, where that journal is published. She also teaches writing in the low-residency MFA programs at both Vermont College of Fine Arts and the University of Nebraska Omaha. With all those commitments, it’s no surprise that she hasn’t published a book of poems since her 2001 debut collection, The Republic of Self. Now, 15 years later, Anhinga Press has issued Powell’s second collection, Willy Loman’s Reckless Daughter, or Living Truthfully Under Imaginary Circumstances. Both books were published because they won press prizes. The noted poet C.K. Williams awarded Republic the New Issues Poetry & Prose prize for a first book of poems; it was subsequently brought out by the Western Michigan University-based press. Willy Loman won the Robert Dana-Anhinga Prize, named for the late poet laureate of Iowa. Powell has also received the Pushcart Prize and a Yaddo fellowship, and has published in a number of respected journals. Her poems seem to attract attention in part because they push form in unexpected ways. While this volume’s final work, “Willy Loman’s Reckless Daughter,” is written in rhymed couplets, most of the others are prose poems, lyrical essays, or meditations that build on methods of acting or psychoanalysis. In short, the collection embodies a prolific experimentation with form. The title of one poem, “Psychic Proem-a-logue,” even makes up its own genre, a combination prosepoem-monologue in which the speaker describes the origins of the free-verse work at hand: “Its mother was a lyric, its father a narrative.” These are fearlessly confessional poems. As that “psychic” poem declares, “This poem is made of me and I it.” Extremely personal, they use Arthur Miller’s seminal play Death of

a Salesman as a starting point to explore the speaker’s (and Powell’s, one assumes) family dynamics and grapple with her father’s death. According to the partly stream-of-consciousness prose poem “Autocorrecting the Lyric I,” which opens Powell’s book, the narrator read Miller’s play when she was 14, and it has “INVITATION haunted her ever since. She TO MY REAL remembers, “We seemed to be SELF FROM MY acting that play as our family IMAGINARY SELF” drama.” (EXCERPT) “Drama” is indeed the Please come fl flying: I’ve been word for Powell’s story, as to a wake and a funeral.

common to many families. What Willy Loman’s Reckless Daughter, or Living Truthfully Under Imaginary Circumstances does not engage, at least for this reviewer, is one of poetry’s main arenas: sound. With a few exceptions, these lines will not resonate in the reader’s ear like, say, Wallace Stevens’ “keener sounds” in “The Idea of Order at Key West.” Absent, too, are silences wrought from verse, such as the metric pause following W.B. Yeats’ “bee-loud glade” — though Powell does have at least one poem filled with line breaks. Lines such as “My aphasia always looks in the mirror of my lipstick compact” may have some relatable truth — when a woman is at a loss for speech, she resorts to the contents of her purse — but one wishes for an Ezra Pound here to pare away the portentous. As an imaginative inhabiting of Miller’s play, though, and a personal psychological drama laid bare on the page, Willy Loman’s Reckless Daughter, or Living Truthfully Under Imaginary Circumstances is its own unique creation.

Last Wednesday, September 21, Good Measure’s Incorporated — a crisp and bitter blond ale — hit draft lines at FARMHOUSE TAP & GRILL’s New Kids on the Block tasting event in Burlington, along with fresh brews from GOODWATER BREWERY, RIVER ROOST BREWERY and UPPER PASS BEER. “It was kind of a test batch,” says Good Measure co-owner SCOTT KERNER. With various partners, Kerner co-owns Montpelier’s THREE PENNY TAPROOM, Northfieldbased coffee roaster CARRIER ROASTING, and Winooski’s MULE BAR, where GMB co-owner and head brewer ANDREW LEICHTHAMMER used to be general manager. In their gutted and renovated brewery in the former Paine Mountain Brewing Co. space at 17 East Street in Northfield, Leichthammer and Kerner plan to produce easydrinking, balanced beers that are low in alcohol and delicate in flavor. Toward that end, Leichthammer is developing a pale-yellow, old-timey cream ale using organic flint corn grown by JACK LAZOR at BUTTERWORKS FARM in Westfield. Cream ale was popularized by Genesee Brewing in the 1960s. Cheap and widely available in bars and convenience stores, it was (and remains) a populist brew. “Everyone’s family knows that beer,” Kerner says. “We think of [cream ale] as our ‘Northeastern pub beer.’” Following Genesee’s lead, Kerner plans to make Good Measure’s cream ale affordable and available beyond

Vermont’s usual craft beer outlets. “As a bartender, you get a lot of people who ask for ‘whatever [beer]’s lightest,’ and they don’t care what it is,” Kerner says. Good Measure’s goal is to bring those drinkers into the fold and make them feel proud to drink an American pub beer made with local grain. The brewery is also working on a British-style ESB, a dry-hopped Belgian-style table beer and a milk-oatmeal stout flavored with coffee beans from Carrier Roasting. For now, find Incorporated at Farmhouse in Burlington, CORNERSTONE BURGER CO. in Northfield and BEVERAGE WAREHOUSE’s growler bar in Winooski.

On some Fridays, live local music might complement the mellow sound of the Otter Creek waterfall tumbling outside the café’s window. “Our hope is that restaurants follow suit in pursuing better year-round food integration,” Stephanie says. “We ought to be showcasing the amazing locally grown foods in the best possible way.” And for dessert, there’s always the house specialty: chocolate.

She noted one dancer’s hat, which was styled after those worn by Union foot soldiers during the Civil War. She envisioned the predecessor of this station — the original building burned near the turn of the last century — as a busy hub in service to the Union army. During the war, workers at Windsor’s Robbins & Lawrence armory (whose building now houses the American Precision Museum) manufactured thousands of guns and pieces of gunmaking equipment used to arm Yankee fighters. And, according to web records, more than 80 Civil War soldiers rest in Windsor cemeteries. How many of those guns and men shipped off to battle — or returned home — from this very spot? Even with the music, it’s easy to lose oneself in history beneath the station’s soaring, wood-lined ceilings — at least until supper arrives. Diners seeking something refined could start with a crisped confit leg of duck, while those who’d rather judge a bar on its execution of the classics might open with a dozen wings.

While the anchovies’ inclusion honors the salad’s platonic ideal, the ability to opt out with grace is a quiet gift to guests averse to pickly fish. And it’s hard to argue with a generous Vermont beef burger, exactingly cooked to temperature and topped with smoky bacon from nearby North Country Smokehouse. Or with a bowl of bubbling red-sauce lasagna, which tasted of sun-ripened tomatoes preserved at the height of harvest — with a side of meatballs. Call it fuel for dancing feet. By the time that burger arrived, more than a few partners, ages twentysomething to postretirement, had taken to the floor. An older pair — the man weathered but still tall in green Dickies work pants — spun and shuffled wearing wide grins like spring chickens. When the band hit the opening chords of “Quinn the Eskimo,” others jumped up to join them. Outside, a freight train rumbled by, sending a barely there shudder through the building. Surrounded by all of this, with a big, juicy burger on the table, how could one not feel happy? m

Manhattan to Middlebury Matt Corrente brings a fine-dining background to wo Brothers Tavern B Y JUL I A CL ANCY

SEVENDAYSVT.COM 09.28.16-10.05.16 SEVEN DAYS 48 FOOD

SEVEN DAYS: You’ve gained a lot of ground in your professional cooking life. What are the core moments of your culinary training? MATT CORRENTE: It started 10 years ago in Middlebury. I was a student at Middlebury College and took a job on the side working front-of-the-house at Two Brothers Tavern. I was premed and an art major. I thought I wanted to be an oral surgeon and pull people’s teeth for a living. After college, the whole dental-school thing fizzled out. I knew what I really wanted to do was go to cooking school. So I moved to New York City and went to the [Institute of Culinary Education]. In 2008, I got an internship through the school at Café Boulud [owned by famed French restaurateur Daniel Boulud]. After the internship, I was hired to work full time [on the line] at Bar Boulud in Lincoln Center. I was there for three years; it was definitely the most fundamental part of my culinary education. SD: You also worked at Craigie on Main in Boston under Tony Maws, one of the most notable chefs in the country. What was the lifestyle like at these upscale institutions?

CALEB KENNA

t’s a Thursday evening, and the wraparound bar at Two Brothers Tavern is packed elbow-to-elbow. On the televisions mounted above the bar, the Patriots are up against the Texans. A group of college kids shares a basket of fries and a platter of loaded nachos. Nearby, a few middle-aged men decompress over Bud Lights and the nightly special, $2.50 pints of Narragansett. Over by a window seat, friends are meeting for a nice dinner out: wine, rock shrimp risotto and a tomato salad made with 10 assorted Vermont heirlooms. The bartender whizzes past 24 taps of draft beer and cider to pour a tasting flight for an out-oftown beer lover. The audience at Two Brothers Tavern is as varied as tonight’s soup options: cheddar ale or fresh market gazpacho. The popular Middlebury pub is so called for its founders, local siblings Holmes and Beal Jacobs. Matt Corrente, the executive chef since summer 2015, first joined the restaurant’s team as a student at Middlebury College. After graduating in 2006, he went on to train at a culinary institute in New York City and then to cook in some established fine-dining restaurants. In Vermont, Corrente was one of the lead chefs at Burlington’s late, great Pistou, which was nominated for a James Beard Award before closing its doors in 2014. He then spent two years as the executive chef of Bluebird Restaurant Group before coming full circle to head the kitchen at Two Brothers. Over drafts of Lost Nation Brewing’s House Pale Ale, Seven Days bellied up to the bar with Corrente to talk oysters, the restaurant world and how to incorporate fine dining into a cherished neighborhood tavern.

Craigie on Main was the hardest job I’ve had. It was a grind. It was 80 to 100 hours a week. And there was the physical and mental abuse known to be found from a real hard-ass chef, a chef who rules with an iron fist. It was the first time I worked in that kind of environment. But I learned a lot of great lessons there — including how not to treat people. SD: What brought you back to Vermont? MC: Maji Chien and Max Mackinnon came to visit and asked me to join the kitchen team at Max’s new restaurant, Pistou. Maji was a friend from Middlebury College and Two Brothers. So I headed to Burlington to join the Pistou team. That was a fun adventure, while it lasted.

CHEF: Matt Corrente AGE: 32 POSITION: executive chef at Two Brothers Tavern CUISINE TYPE: upscale comfort food, classic New England

tavern fare EDUCATION: Middlebury College (class of 2006); Institute of

Culinary Education in New York City (graduated 2008) SELECTED EXPERIENCE: cook, Bar Boulud, New York City;

cook/sous chef, Craigie on Main, Boston; sous chef, Pistou, Burlington; executive chef, Bluebird Restaurant Group, Burlington WHAT’S ON THE MENU? Tavern burger; rock shrimp risotto

with cherry tomatoes, baby spinach and walla-walla sweet onion jam; steak and fries; pulled-pork sandwich; 10-tomato salad with assorted Vermont heirlooms, Maplebrook Farm mozzarella, cucumber, white balsamic and baby basil; assorted housemade ice creams

MC: [At Bar Boulud], it’s extremely busy. It was a sprint. It’s proximity to Lincoln Center and all the shows … there were just these massive rushes of people. It taught me how to do huge covers of very upscale, finedining food. [At Craigie on Main], there was a practical exam to get the job. The chef brought you a piece of protein and said, “Here. You have half an hour. Make me dinner.” You can use anything in the kitchen, but you don’t even know where the salt is. It’s a sink-or-swim kind of thing. I cooked skate with chanterelle mushrooms and beef demi-glace. That got me to the fish station.

SD: Vermont has a reputable concentration of artisans, farmers and makers, but Seven Days has written previously that the cost of running a farmto-table restaurant in the state doesn’t always coincide with the budgets of local restaurants or their patrons. As an experienced market-driven chef, what do you think is the future of farm-totable in Vermont? MC: It’s a good question and a complicated answer. I think you have to go market by market, like Burlington versus Middlebury. It’s all about culinary literacy and knowing your audience; it’s about getting people up to speed with what you’re trying to do. It’s about having a customer base willing to pay a bit more for higherquality ingredients. But at a place like Two Brothers Tavern, you don’t go from being a nacho and wing joint to providing market-driven cuisine overnight. SD: What are your personal goals for Two Brothers? MC: I want to be the best restaurant in Middlebury. I want to be the spot where people want to go out to eat, whether they want oysters on the half shell, great market-driven specials or nachos. What I learned from fine dining is that consistency is paramount, and that remains the same here. You have to have consistency to be a great restaurant. The first piece of that puzzle takes a ton of patience. Progressing to that level means starting from the bottom up: reinventing old recipes, setting up good systems within the kitchen, generating culinary talent in Vermont by teaching your cooks how to cook and taste and develop knife skills … but all the while maintaining the idea of what it means to be a neighborhood tavern. The next piece of the puzzle is controlling the culinary identity crisis of a place like Two Brothers Tavern. We’re a lot of different things to a lot of different audiences. We’re a popular college bar to a group of Middlebury College kids. We’re a nice restaurant space for people to take themselves out to dinner. We’re a lunch spot for tour buses. We’re a place for someone to get a cheap beer after work,

PHOTO COURTESY OF KELLY SCHULZE/MOUNTAIN DOG PHOTOGRAPHY

ARRIVAL DATE: September 8, 2016 REASON HERE: Tucker was uncomfortable with the new baby in the home DOGS/CATS/KIDS: Tucker lived with a dog and did well. He is selective of other dogs. His history with cats is unknown. His previous home reports he will chase outdoor cats and small animals. Tucker needs a home without young children as they make him uncomfortable. He may do well with older children (13+).

SUMMARY: Terriﬁc Tucker is a sweet senior boy who enjoys playing tug and chewing a good bone. He is a smart dog

and loves to be in the company of human friends! Tucker spent his entire life with one family and became uncomfortable when a new baby arrived, so now he's looking to begin a new chapter for his golden years. ° e transition to life in the shelter has been tough on Tucker, and we're hoping he can ﬁnd his forever home soon (and he hopes it includes a couch he can nap on)! Visit HSCC at 142 Kindness Court, South Burlington, Tuesday through Friday from 1 to 6 p.m., or Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Call 862-0135 for more info.

food+drink but we’re also a beer destination for people who want to sample the great beers around Vermont. There’s almost a schizophrenia about it — we wear a lot of different hats. SD: So how do you do it? MC: It’s about high quality from bottom to top. Nothing here comes processed. We won’t cut corners when it comes to making things from scratch. It’s attention to detail, whether it’s cooking a chicken wing or getting our oysters from Earth & Sea in Manchester. That’s world-class fish coming in, which can be hard to come by in Vermont. Earth & Sea goes down to Boston every morning and brings our delivery back to the restaurant. That, while keeping the prices at a level where customers can afford them and menu descriptions where customers can understand them. But progress here matches the progress of what people are learning to appreciate. Never in a million years did I think we’d be able to sell a couple hundred oysters every week during oyster nights. It’s a food that may have been out of many people’s comfort zones a couple months ago.

SD: What are a few of your most nostalgic foods? MC: Lasagna has followed me around for most of my childhood. My dad’s Italian. It’s traditional lasagna with the handmade pasta, Bolognese, béchamel. And there’s a Polish dish called kotlety — it’s like a meatloaf or meat patty cooked in a pan with some butter. I asked for it every year on my birthday. My mom would make it — her dad, my grandpa, is Polish.

SD: What does Vermont do well in terms of food and drink? What does Vermont need to improve upon? MC: Our farmers and artisans are world-class. And you see that when you travel the world and find top restaurants serving Vermont cheese. The food scene in Vermont is great, because anything you need, it’ll give you. Want to learn artisanal cheesemaking? Vermont can provide that. Want to partner directly with a farmer to grow something for you? Vermont can provide that, too. That’s another thing about Vermont: You have friendly farmers that are hardworking, generous and full of gratitude. As a chef, it’s up to me to foster those relationships. One thing I would love to see is a farmers market delivery network. We have the Vermont Fresh Network, which is a wonderful network of people, but getting a middleman with a refrigerated truck to deliver farmers market products to restaurants would be amazing. It’s not as idyllic as meandering through the farmers market like you see on [the Netflix series] “Chef’s Table,” but you can amplify access to local ingredients by creating a delivery mechanism.

SD: What do you value about working at Two Brothers? MC: After Bluebird, I was looking for a different quality of life in being a chef. As a chef, you spend tons of hours in the restaurant and then party on the off hours. At this stage of my career and my life, it made a lot of sense to step back from that. I wanted to move to a smaller town and settle down. My wife and I just bought a house. We’re excited to put ourselves in the position to balance work and family. Since Two Brothers is open 18 hours a day, seven days a week, it’s up to me to decide how accessible I want to make that lifestyle. That’s why you have to be a good teacher, as well. Unlike a fine-dining restaurant, you don’t have 14 people to run your kitchen when you’re gone. Maybe you have two. We also have an amazing core of regulars who are in day in and day out, who keep the electricity on. They prop us up as the neighborhood restaurant that we are. Because there’s a huge difference between a destination restaurant and a real neighborhood restaurant. We’re neighborhood all the way. We want [travelers] to be interested in what we’re doing, too, but our bread and butter is the people around us.

SD: If you were going to cook anything for dinner for yourself and your wife tonight, what would it be? MC: We usually do a big thing on Sundays and Mondays when we have two days off together — that’s a proper weekend, another lifestyle change that wouldn’t be common in the fine-dining world. Both of us work in the food business. [Caroline Corrente is a trained pastry chef and a baker at Otter Creek Bakery, two doors down from Two Brothers Tavern.] We do a lot of fresh pasta at home. She’s a baker, so maybe she’ll make a great loaf of bread if I make a braisedmeat dish. Or I’ll do savory, and she’ll make dessert. It’s awesome having a pastry-chef wife.

STORY TIME

Black & Blue Before Michael Brown, Sandra Bland, Terence Crutcher and too many other black Americans died during encounters with law enforcement, African American cab driver Rodney King was brutally beaten by LAPD officers in an incident caught on tape. The officers’ acquittal by a mostly white jury sparked the 1992 Los Angeles riots, and King came to represent the rampant racial tension in the United States — which persists to this day. Actor Roger Guenveur Smith takes the stage with his one-man show, Rodney King, in a powerful performance using spoken-word poetry, monologue and authentic broadcast media clips to connect America’s racial past and present.

Tim Harrington and Paul Wright of Tall Heights

tone made by a stringed, hollow-bodied instrument has a brief shelf life. Once the vibration stops, the tone fades to nothing. It’s a limitation that Paul Wright and Tim Harrington, the indie-folk duo known as Tall Heights, began to question as they sought to advance their sound. Released in August on Sony Music Masterworks, their sparkling second full-length album, Neptune, marks a new normal for the band. On a North American tour, Tall Heights will be stopping by the Higher Ground Showcase Lounge in South Burlington on Thursday, September 29, to open for locals the DuPont Brothers. When childhood friends Wright and Harrington first started busking at Boston’s Faneuil Hall, they were content with the sounds made by Wright’s cello, Harrington’s guitar and their voices. After releasing Rafters, an EP, and Man of Stone, their first full-length album, the two began talking about how to take their sound to new places. Seeking warm baths of synth and electronic percussion, a fortuitous meeting in 2013 at Burlington’s Signal Kitchen set them on a new sonic path. While playing SK, the duo bumped into acquaintance Spencer Kelley of Color Study, a recording studio, label and artist management company located in Goshen. Kelley and partner Ethan West were just getting things set up at Color Study and working with LA-based electro-popster Handsome Ghost. After his record dropped more than a year later, Color Study was able to get Wright and Harrington into the studio. The band also brought in producer and multi-instrumentalist Oliver Hill. After making a successful demo, all agreed to push on. After several sessions, the EP Holding On, Holding Out emerged, eventually followed by Neptune. The latter’s electronic leanings feel less like a change for Tall Heights than simply growth. The duo’s lyrics suggest that Wright and Harrington have deep consideration for the world around them. Existentialism flows like a current through the album — though neither songwriter declares himself a philosopher. The past year has been an exciting time for Tall Heights. A viral video afforded them exposure for their track “Spirit Cold,” and they’ve become a trio with the addition of drummer “Handsome” Paul Dumas. Seven Days caught up with Wright and the group by phone in San Francisco as they got some muchneeded relaxation during their tour.

˜ e serendipitous rise of Boston’s Tall Heights BY JORDAN ADAMS

SEVEN DAYS: Last March, when you played Signal Kitchen, you told the story of the wedding video. Could you tell it again? PAUL WRIGHT: We were working with this company that does a lot of micro-licensing called Musicbed, and a lot of couples were selecting “Spirit Cold” for their wedding videos. We got a Google alert that a bunch of outlets were reposting this [wedding] video that was shot with a GoPro from the back of the bride and groom’s dog. It was kind of this winter wedding with the dog running around through the snow and greeting all the guests, and “Spirit Cold” was the soundtrack. It went mini-viral on YouTube. It’s got five, six million views [now]. We were kind of blindsided and started getting all these tweets about it. It was cool and totally unexpected, and helped raise the profile for us. Pretty funny. SD: When you were writing “Spirit Cold,” did you think of it as ﬁt for a wedding? PW: No. Personally, if I feel like I’m writing a song that is wedding appropriate, my cheeseball alarm will be ringing too loud for me to finish. We were just writing about all the terrible things that were happening in the world. Human tragedies, climate tragedies. It was a question to ourselves of, how do

we not just accept that humans will do the wrong thing every time, that there’s a reason to not be jaded, to be hopeful and to look for the good in us despite the terrible things we do to each other. SD: I actually think that’s really applicable to marriage. PW: Yeah, I hear that. SD: If you could strap a GoPro on any animal for your next music video, what would it be? PW: I’d go something marine. Strap it to a seal or a dolphin. I’m big into seals. “Handsome” Paul says a cheetah. Tim says an impala. SD: Your performance with the Maine Youth Rock Orchestra looked pretty special. Any plans for similar collaborations? PW: I think we’re gonna get some of those MYRO folks out for our Portland, Maine, show in December. We love that. I’m totally into adding instruments when we can. We just did a couple of things with a French horn player in Chicago, which was super fun. You can see some of that on our Audiotree Session. Those opportunities are not ones that come up every day, but we’d love to do more collaborating and orchestra stuff. TOP OF THE WORLD

ridiculous rhythm section consisting of keyboardist JEREMY SKALLER, guitarist BOB DUNHAM, bassist SHAWN WILLIAMS and drummer MARK ROBOHM. Just as Belizbeha’s star was fully ascending, they called it quits, partly for interpersonal reasons and partly because the grind of touring had finally caught up with them. Averaging more than 200 shows per year for seven years will do that. The band played its final show in Portland, Maine, on New Year’s Eve in 1999, which was probably the worst thing that happened on Y2K. If their last two reunion shows are any indication, Belizbeha can still bring the funkdafied grooves. I think I’m still sweaty from their Waterfront Tent show in 2014. Like they do, they’ll have plenty of help from their friends for the Rusty Nail shows. Local rapper KONFLIK, Thompson’s partner in the underrated hip-hop band EYE OH YOU, will drop in. An iteration of the Phish-famed GIANT COUNTRY HORNS will be on hand both nights, this time including saxophonists DAVE GRIPPO, JOEY SOMERVILLE and CHRIS PETERMAN, as well as trumpet diva JENNIFER HARTSWICK, whose own band opens the Saturday show. Local housemusic guru CRAIG MITCHELL will open the Friday show with his Purple One tribute, OPERATION PRINCE. Next to seeing Belizbeha live once again, perhaps the coolest part of the show is what you can take home SOUNDBITES

There might not be six more exciting words for a music fan to hear than, “We’re gettin’ the band back together.” Next weekend, local music fans of a certain vintage are apt to be positively giddy as Burlington acid-jazz/hip-hop greats BELIZBEHA are indeed getting their sprawling crew together again for a two-night stand at the Rusty Nail in Stowe on Friday and Saturday, October 7 and October 8. In fact, we think they’ll be so excited that we’re pimping this show a week earlier than we normally would, just to give antsy Belizbeha fans ample opportunity to compose themselves. Next weekend’s reunion double feature is actually the third time Belizbeha have reunited since breaking up in 1999. The last occasion was during the 2014 Burlington Discover Jazz Festival, five years after they initially reformed as a BDJF headliner in 2009. That’s all relatively recent history, meaning there’s not much of a new angle. But if you’re just joining us, here’s the CliffsNotes version of the band’s story: Back in the mid to late 1990s, Belizbeha ruled the roost in Burlington, musically speaking. Next to PHISH,

and perhaps the SAMPLES — who by that point were actually based in Colorado — they were just about the biggest thing out of the Queen City. Famed producer TONY SHIMKIN, who worked with the likes of MADONNA, PAULA ABDUL and WRECKX-NEFFECT, proclaimed Belizbeha “the next big thing in the music industry.” A tad more creatively, the JUNGLE BROTHERS’ MIKE G dubbed the band’s music “the funk of the future.” The band traveled far and wide, touring all over the U.S. and Europe. Its members played the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta. They sold 35,000 records as an independent band. Major labels courted them. They made lots of “next-big-thing” lists in magazines — yes, actual magazines, because the 1990s. They played a pickup basketball game against MACEO PARKER’s band and got whupped. Belizbeha traded in a unique — especially for the time — hybrid of funk, soul, R&B, jazz and hip-hop. The star of the band was a larger-than-life rapper called FATTIE BUMBALATTIE from, of all places, Bristol. You might be more familiar with him as DJ FATTIE B, who, among numerous other gigs, is the longtime host of the weekly Retronome dance party at Club Metronome. He also sometimes goes by his birth name, KYLE THOMPSON. Stars 1A and 1B were vocalists SHAUNA ANTONIUC and KADIATOU SIBI. Backing them was a

SD: If you could busk on any street in the world, where would it be? PW: I hear good things about some European cities, but I do think that Faneuil Hall is a special place. It’s the only place we busked, because there’s a program with a schedule. And, for the most part, you don’t have to fight people to play in your dedicated spot and can use a sound system. We never would’ve survived playing unplugged on the street. We would’ve quit after two days. What made it wonderful was the steady flow of tourists walking by, looking to be entertained.

But whenever possible, we try to get outside. It’s restorative. Good for the body, good for the mind. And we just like to keep a jar of peanut butter around. Take a spoonful to the face. m

Last but not least, there was a small factual error in last week’s feature profile of local alt-country songwriter Kelly Ravin. In it, I referred to the song Ravin wrote for his daughter as “Virginia.” The song is actually titled “Engine” and, yes, it leans heavily on a car metaphor. It’s also one of the sweetest songs you’ll ever hear. Apologies to Ravin — and VIRGINIA.

In celebration of this latest reunion, the band has put together a monstrous, 66-track package of music, which will be available at the show. It includes remastered versions of both of Belizbeha’s studio albums — the 1995 classic Charlie’s Dream and 1998’s Void Where Inhibited. It includes very early demos cut at Low Tech Studios, which provide a fascinating starting point to the band’s sound evolution over the years. It includes their groovy cover of the PANTS’ “High Water Mark” from Good Citizen’s Burlington Does Burlington comps. It also features two covers of Belizbeha tunes by other local acts, QUEEN CITY ALL STARS and the Middlebury College a cappella group the DISSIPATED 8. But wait, there’s more. Because Belizbeha were first and foremost a live band, the compilation includes live cuts from two shows: Durango, Colo., in 1997 and that 2014 BDJF gig. There are also several

punks AGAINST ME! for nearly two decades. Some saw their controversial rise through independent labels into the majors as hypocritical, and the move even incited a backlash among the fan base. After singer Laura Jane Grace (formerly Thomas Gabel) came out as transgender in 2012, the band released Transgender Dysphoria Blues in 2014 on its own label, restoring much of its punk cred. This year, the band released its seventh studio album, the hulking Shape Shift With Me.

REVIEW this Dave Kleh, Laugh: A Collection of Drinking Songs From the 802 type in the ’70s and ’80s, he probably listened to stuff like Violent Femmes, Frank Zappa and Talking Heads. This is likely what Kleh was listening to back then, as well as today. Inspiration from the freakiest New Wave and post-punk is built into Laugh’s architecture, with mostly delightful results. “Laugh,” the opening track, offers plenty of reasons not to take Kleh too seriously. The track opens with boisterous, forced laughter recorded so incredibly close to the microphone that it may turn off some listeners

immediately. Those with a little more patience will be pleasantly surprised by the satirical conversation that follows. “Tell me you’ll clean up the water / and I’ll vote for you,” Kleh declares, singing from the point of view of the naïve, easily swayed voter who wants nothing more than to hear his candidate regurgitate his own views. It’s the kind of misguided discussion you might overhear during election season as townies toss back a few at the local watering hole. Further down the rabbit hole is “Two Splashed People.” (We’ve now entered the stage of drunkenness where one becomes easily distracted.) Somewhere between ska and klezmer, the song goes ultra-bonkers when glockenspiel-like riffs on “Mary Had a Little Lamb” and the Beatles’ “Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da” take the lead.

The album comes to a close the same way a night of heavy drinking does: sloppily. The self-explanatory foot-tapper “I’ve Fallen Down and I Can’t Get Up” leads into the slurring and repetitive “Men Were Born in the Bottom of a Beer Barrel.” On the latter, strange, overdriven electronic sounds cushion Kleh’s lyrics, and, like any drunk who can’t stop repeating himself, Kleh’s night of laughs and drafts gets dragged out a bit too long. Laugh probably isn’t something you’d throw on at a party, nor is it something to listen to for quiet introspection. The best time to listen would be when you want to shake up your routine and see the world through the eyes of a truly awesome weirdo. Or, you know, maybe the next time you want to get blasted. Laugh by Dave Kleh available at cdbaby.com/artist/davekleh.

internal journey is very much the focus of this EP. A World of Dreams is definitely the product of youth, created when LoKi was 19 and producer OC — aka local artist Oliver Creech — was just 16. Whether that makes it endearing or irritating is a matter of taste. It’s hard to fault young artists for ambition, though. From the overwrought Auto-Tune and underwhelming singing on the outro to “Consciousness,” or the synth-horn chorus swells of “Inspired Awakening,”

when the EP does fall flat it’s only because they were going big. The sound is consistent, however. It’s a Froot Loops palette wielded by a talented young composer. Samples are only occasionally used for texture; this is a very musical project. The opening track, “Increasing Dark,” cuts a cinematic line that begins with a cappella ruminations over ominous strings. When the drums kick in, it becomes clear that OC is more comfortable layering melodic ideas than programming percussion. The dirt and compression of sampled loops would have gone a long way toward a fuller, more professional sound, and this remains true for the rest of the EP. Even so, it suits the nature of the duo’s project: They are carving their own lane here. While hip-hop references are constant, LoKi’s delivery is more spoken word than rap. His vocals often have a stilted quality, but that’s clearly

an artistic choice. His cadence puts dramatic emphasis on every line. This is frequently awkward, shining a spotlight on weak writing and strange rhymes. Sample slice: “The Earth’s just a turning globe burning slow in the inferno’s glow so the motion bestows even a Jew and an Arab with something new in the carriage.” This, too, is a defining feature of Vermont hip-hop. For better or worse, the 802 has been breeding conscious rappers and cipher ramblers for decades now. LoKi truly wants to fix a broken world, but, not surprisingly, 19-year-olds don’t have a lot of actionable insights to offer. They shouldn’t have to, either. As a contribution the local scene, A World of Dreams is boundary-pushing stuff, and we’ll likely be hearing more from these budding talents. A World of Dreams by LoKi is available at milkhaus.bandcamp.com.

Dave Kleh is proof that you never really know what’s going on inside someone’s head — until they make a record. You probably wouldn’t expect your real estate agent to create slaphappy music with lyrics that sound like the insane rantings of a burnt-out kook. But Kleh, who works for Keller Williams Realty by day, builds his music career upon unexpected whimsy. Laugh: A Collection of Drinking Songs From the 802 fortunately manages to go beyond the realm of curious novelty to a place worthy of careful consideration. If your dad was a super-hip musician

LoKi has been on the fringes of Vermont’s hip-hop scene for several years now. He’s an active collaborator with a long string of SoundCloud singles to his name. (That name, appropriately for a trickster demigod, is spelled differently all over the internet — loKI and Lo KI are frequent variations.) LoKi — aka Liam Corcoran — has taken the interesting step of rereleasing a collaborative album from 2011, A World of Dreams, honed down to an EP of his favorite tracks. The result is an almost stereotypical slice of Vermont hip-hop: a rurally isolated young artist using the genre’s conventions to speak his truth. LoKi is honest and earnest, describing himself as “a gawky Vermonter in constant conflict with his consciousness.” That never-ending

PORCHES stand out

in an ocean of vaguely European-sounding nu-wavers. Charmingly bleak lyrics and earworm-y hooks glow brightly through singersongwriter Aaron Maine’s stoner haze. The group smartly balances melancholy and malaise with warm, gurgling synths and snappy electronic drums. Fellow Brooklynite (and Maine’s main squeeze) Greta Kline — aka Frankie Cosmos — is a frequent collaborator and appears on Porches’ acclaimed 2016 album Pool. Porches play on Tuesday, October 4, at ArtsRiot in Burlington, with support from

The catalog that accompanies “Sargent to Basquiat” — actually a 174-page full-color hardcover book — examines individual works as well as the exhibit’s underlying connections. One essayist featured there, noted critic and Stanford University art professor Alexander Nemerov, covers both. A UVM grad himself — class of ’85 — Nemerov writes cogently about Hopper’s enigmatic 1939 painting “Bridle Path.” The scene features one man and two women on horseback tearing down a path toward a dark tunnel in New York’s Central Park. Nemerov compares and contrasts that painting with Irving Underhill’s 1929 photograph “Tunnels of Love, Coney Island,” then returns to a consideration of Hopper’s more

dward Hopper. Joseph Cornell. Camille Pissarro. Cindy Sherman. Aside from being artists, what do these people have in common? On the surface, not much. But this fall, they are united in a unique exhibit at the University of Vermont’s Fleming Museum of Art. Sixty-four works by 45 artists share wall space in the capacious East and smaller Wolcott galleries flanking the museum’s grand marble court. The unifying thread is evident in the exhibition’s title, “Sargent to Basquiat: University of Vermont Alumni Collections.” Yes, all the works here are on loan from former students. If that sounds like a motley foundation for an art show, it is. But it proved a rewarding and compelling one. Before Fleming director Janie Cohen began selecting these pieces two years ago, she set one art-history parameter, which is likewise implied in the title. Works by John Singer Sargent (18561925) and Jean-Michel Basquiat (196088) ostensibly bookend the exhibit, which draws primarily from the 20th century. If we strictly consider dates, though, the oldest work in the show is “Nantucket Pump,” an 1882 oil on canvas by American painter Theodore Robinson (1852-96). The most recent, made in 2013, is an amusing bronze and copper cabbage with chicken feet, “Choupatte (Petit),” by French artist Claude Lalanne. (She and her husband, François-Xavier, created works together under the collective name Les Lalanne until he died in 2008.) Lalanne, born in 1924, is one of 11 artists in this show still living and making work in the 21st century. Curators have many choices when presenting an art exhibit, whether it’s a selection of works by a single artist, a group show that illustrates a designated period, or a more subjective category. In “Sargent to Basquiat,” viewers will

find elements of many such themes. In a tour before the exhibit’s opening last week, Cohen pointed with delight to a multitude of interconnections among the works. Some are obvious, such those between artists who were friends or who influenced each other, or among works in the same medium. Other relationships are subtler, the works’ commonalities more a matter of placement within the show. Only a keenly observant viewer might notice, for example, the proximity of Marino Marini’s 16-inch bronze sculpture “Piccolo Cavaliere” (1947) to Bill Traylor’s painting on cardboard “Untitled (Black Dog)” (1939-42). The Italian sculptor and the African American outsider artist — and their choice of mediums — could not be more different, yet their equine and canine representations seem to share an interspecies bond. Like hosts strategically arranging guests at a dinner table, curators have an eye for how people, or objects, relate to one another. If this exhibition is based on collecting, it is equally about curation. The opportunity to discover serendipitous links — or to purposefully seek them out — makes exploring “Sargent to Basquiat” more fun than its staid title might suggest. Overall coherency aside, the standalone quality of each of these diverse works is stunning. That suggests another, overarching theme here: This group of UVM alums has excellent taste and has made it a priority in life to collect art.

worldly interests in a later painting (not in this exhibit). Though the book’s essays can dive into art-history rabbit holes, their authors’ critiques collectively illustrate the associative thinking that underpins the selection and curation of “Sargent to Basquiat.” It is a way of thinking that combines intellectual rigor and playfulness. Cohen, a Picasso scholar, contributed an essay to the book about that towering figure, focusing on the 1907 painting “Les Demoiselles d’Avignon.” While that work resides at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City, Cohen’s writing is germane to our appreciation of the four Picasso works on paper in the Fleming exhibition. Each depicts the artist and his model. As is well-known, those relationships sometimes turned into, well, relations. In her forward to the catalog, Cohen pinpoints a different kind of obsession — the one that made “Sargent to Basquiat” possible. “I have been quite moved to realize,” she writes, “how passionate our alumni are about the art in their collections.” Can we chalk this up as a win for liberal arts education? m Contact: pamela@sevendaysvt.com

movies The Beatles: Eight Days a Week — The Touring Years ★★★★★

ingo Starr, undeniably the least gifted of the group, is ironically responsible for more Beatles movie titles than any other member. A Hard Day’s Night was taken from John Lennon’s favorite Ringoism. Likewise, Eight Days a Week comes from a phrase the drummer used to suggest the punishing, time-warping nature of the band’s tour schedule, which involved playing more than 800 shows in 15 countries. Looking back, it’s comical to note how hard the Beatles’ management worked them, assuming the mania would fade and the music fall out of favor. Ron Howard’s documentary does a brilliant job of covering that period. Not only does it chronicle the band’s conquest of the world between 1963 and 1966, but, for the first time, it takes the viewer behind the mob scenes into the hotel suites and airliners where the four were virtual prisoners. What emerges is something quite touching. These were boys entering manhood, far from home and in the midst of an unprecedented cultural maelstrom. Their only support was each other. It’s revelatory to see what devoted friends they were throughout this unimaginably challenging time. That’s just one of the film’s revelations. Another is what a great live act the Beatles were — unbelievably tight, tested and hard rocking.

You’ve got to remember — or, if you’re taking Beatles 101, realize — that, before Howard’s film, what we heard of the group’s stadium concerts was primarily the screaming of teenage girls. The band’s late, great producer, George Martin, likened the noise to what you’d hear standing beside a jet engine. Martin’s son, Giles, has performed a miracle of restoration using the latest computer technology. For the first time, we hear in all its pristine richness what the Beatles were playing in Washington, D.C. (1964), on the field at Shea Stadium (1965) and at the Budokan (1966). It’s amazing. Howard combines familiar images with archival footage and home movies to piece together a picture of life on that long and winding road. Along the way, we watch the four evolve from eager-to-please entertainers to artists and authority figures. Here’s another revelation: The group single-handedly suspended the practice of segregation when it played the Bible Belt. The Beatles simply wouldn’t have it, and, for the first time, in state after state, blacks and whites twisted and shouted together. By the end of the film, you can see the toll the craziness took. Someone remarks to Lennon that the band appears to have aged more than two or three years. “We were forcegrown,” he responds, “like rhubarb.” When the Beatles play Candlestick Park in August

HERE, THERE AND EVERYWHERE Howard’s immersive documentary takes you behind the mob scenes as the Beatles go through the most grueling phase of their career.

of ’66, it’s clear they’ve reached the end of the road. Howard presents footage of a press conference that contrasts poignantly with the playful ones from the time before the Beatles appeared on “The Ed Sullivan Show.” Now Paul McCartney struggles to put a sentence together, seeming apologetic for the group’s weariness. It would be their last live show. Though, as everyone knows, the show continued on the Beatles’ terms in the confines of Abbey Road Studios, where they did the unimaginable. They transcended themselves and created music that made the world’s collective jaws drop. The filmmaker gives us the example of Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band as the

documentary equivalent of a happy ending. Often regarded as the greatest album ever made, it’s that and more: the perfect tease for a follow-up to this insightful film. Here Howard has given us the definitive cinematic record of the touring years. With his access to Apple Corps, the Lennon and George Harrison estates, and Martin’s son, just imagine what he might do with the soaring, experimental studio years. In everything else, the Beatles were the exception, so it’s only fitting that they are in this case, too. Eight Days a Week is that rare work that absolutely demands a sequel. RI C K KI S O N AK

The Hollars ★★

ow beloved is character actress Margo Martindale? Netflix’s cult animated show “BoJack Horseman” features a running gag in which she voices a fictional version of herself who is consistently referred to as … “beloved character actress Margo Martindale.” It’s no exaggeration: Martindale’s fleettongued, no-nonsense, grounded presence has enhanced a slew of films and helped propel TV shows like “Justified” into the stratosphere. She’s unquestionably the best thing about The Hollars, a quirky family drama built around her character, matriarch Sally Hollar. But even she can’t save the movie from its half-baked script and colorless direction. The Hollars is the second feature directorial effort from John Krasinski (of “The Office”), who also stars as Sally’s son John. He has escaped from the family’s fly-over town to Manhattan, where his high-powered heiress girlfriend (Anna Kendrick) is expecting their child. But when John learns that Sally has been diagnosed with a brain tumor, he rushes home to rejoin the oddball family from which he’s been virtually estranged. It’s not hard to see why. Dad (Richard Jenkins, another justly beloved character actor) is a forlorn fellow whose business is sliding into bankruptcy. John’s brother, Ron (Sharlto Copley), is an equally sad-sack divorcé who lives in his parents’ basement and

NOTHING TO HOLLAR ABOUT Krasinski and Martindale bond in a forgettable family drama directed by the former.

spends his spare time stalking his ex. With her vital, booming laugh, Sally anchors the family, but her days may be numbered. The premise offers ample potential for both laughter and tears, in the well-worn Home for the Holidays vein. But the screenplay, by James C. Strouse, never gives us the solid grounding in Hollar history that we’d need to know and root for these people. We too rarely see them as an ensemble, telling in-jokes and bickering as only family can;

we don’t get a firm sense of what kept Mom and Dad together, or which roles the two sons played growing up. Instead, Strouse takes us on bizarre tangents that eventually dead-end, such as a subplot involving John’s high school girlfriend (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) and her jealous nurse husband (Charlie Day). To distract from the lack of focus, perhaps, Krasinski has chosen to smother the film in an unending succession of soulful

acoustic guitar tunes. Crooning singer-songwriters keep telling us to feel, feel, feel, just as the script keeps insistently reminding us that it’s about Important Life Passages. (This is the kind of movie where, if someone is due to go into labor, you can bet it will happen during a wedding or a funeral.) The Hollars does achieve occasional poignant moments, most of them due to Martindale’s warm presence and the goodwill she inspires. But the other actors have little to work with. Krasinski’s performance is a series of reaction shots, while Jenkins — shockingly, for anyone who knows his work — overplays a few scenes. By contrast, for perhaps the first time in his career, Copley gives a toned-down performance, but his character’s weepy, loose-cannon behavior remains more comic-relief gimmick than believable dysfunction. The film’s central theme — John is coming to terms with becoming a dad by reconnecting with his own family — is just too hackneyed to slip by with this slapdash execution. The vagueness of so many of the details — the setting and the family business remain unnamed; doctors and nurses don’t follow hospital protocol — gives the film a cardboard, sitcomesque feel that’s entirely unworthy of its cast. Whether live-action or animated, Martindale will remain beloved; this particular entry on her résumé, not so much. MARGO T HARRI S O N

Japanese director Hirokazu Koreeda may not be a household name in the U.S., but cinephiles know him for films like the heartbreaking Nobody Knows, Still Walking and Air Doll. He's particularly good at capturing the subtleties of family interactions — as he does in this low-key drama based on an ongoing manga called Umimachi Diary. Three adult sisters cling to one another, having been abandoned by both parents during their youth. But after their estranged father dies, for the first time, they consider bringing a new person into their tight circle. See what happens starting Friday at the Savoy Theater in Montpelier.

RACHEL LIVES HERE NOW HARRY BLISS

REAL FREE WILL ASTROLOGY BY ROB BREZSNY SEPTEMBER 29-OCTOBER 5

lationship glitch. I bring this to your attention, Aries, because the next seven weeks will be an excellent time to become less of a love worrier and more of a love warrior.

Libra

(SEPT. 23-OCT. 22)

Thank you for all the entertainment you’ve provided in the past 12 months, Libra. Since shortly before your birthday in 2015, you have taken lively and gallant actions to rewrite history. You have banished a pesky demon and repaired a hole in your soul. You’ve educated the most immature part of yourself and nurtured the most neglected part of yourself. To my joyful shock, you have even worked to transform a dysfunctional romantic habit that in previous years had subtly undermined your ability to get the kind of intimacy you seek. What’s next? Here’s my guess: an unprecedented exemption from the demands of the past.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): What’s the dif-

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): How will you deal with a provocative opportunity to reinvent and reinvigorate your approach to work? My guess is that if you ignore this challenge, it will devolve into an obstruction. If you embrace it, on the other hand, you will be led to unforeseen improvements in the way you earn money and structure your daily routine. Here’s the paradox: Being open to seemingly impractical considerations will ultimately turn out to be quite practical. GEMINI

(May 21-June 20): Is it possible that you’re on the verge of reclaiming some of the innocent wisdom you had as a child? Judging from the current astrological omens, I suspect it is. If all goes well, you will soon be gifted with a long glimpse of your true destiny — a close replica of the vision that bloomed in you at a tender age. And this will, in turn, enable you to actually see magic unicorns and play with mischievous fairies and eat clouds that dip down close to the Earth. And not only that: Having a holy vision of your original self will make you even smarter than you already are. For example, you could get insights about how to express previously inexpressible parts of yourself. You might discover secrets about how to attract more of the love you have always felt deprived of.

ference between a love warrior and a love worrier? Love warriors work diligently to keep enhancing their empathy, compassion and emotional intelligence. Love worriers fret so much about not getting the love they want that they neglect to develop their intimacy skills. Love warriors are always vigilant for how their own ignorance may be sabotaging togetherness, while love worriers dwell on how their partner’s ignorance is sabotaging togetherness. Love warriors stay focused on their relationship’s highest goals, while love worriers are preoccupied with every little Change reLEO of your old relithe(July title 23-Aug. to From22): theOne Archive

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Attention! Warning! One of your signature fears is losing its chokehold on your imagination. If this trend continues, its power to scare you may diminish more than 70 percent by November 1. And then what will you do? How can you continue to plug away at your goals if you don’t have worry and angst and dread to motivate you? I suppose you could shop around for a replacement fear — a new prod to keep you on the true and righteous path. But you might also want to consider an alternative: the possibility of drawing more of the energy you need by feeding your lust for life. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Are you able to expand while you are contracting, and vice versa? Can you shed mediocre comforts and also open your imagination to gifts that await you at the frontier? Is it possible to be skeptical toward ideas that shrink your world and people who waste your time, even as you cultivate optimism and innocence about the interesting challenges ahead of you? Here’s what I think, Scorpio: Yes, you can. At least for right now, you are more flexible and multifaceted than you might imagine. SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You Sagittarians are famous for fi ling your cups so full they’re in danger of spilling over. Sometimes the rest of us find this kind of cute. On other occasions, we don’t enjoy getting wine splashed on our shoes. But I suspect that in the coming weeks, the consequences of your tendency to overflow will be mostly benign — perhaps even downright beneficial. So I suggest you experiment with the pleasures of surging and gushing. Have fun as you escape

your niches and transcend your containers. Give yourself permission to seek adventures that might be too extravagant for polite company. Now here’s a helpful reminder from your fellow Sagittarian, poet Emily Dickinson: “You cannot fold a flood and put it in a drawe .”

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): I believe that during the coming weeks you will have an extra amount of freedom from fate. The daily grind won’t be able to grind you down. The influences that typically tend to sap your joie de vivre will leave you in peace. Are you ready to take full advantage of this special dispensation? Please say, “Yes, yes, a thousand times yes!” Be alert for opportunities to rise above the lowest common denominators. Be aggressive about rejecting the trivial questions that trap everyone in low expectations. Here are my predictions: Your willpower will consistently trump your conditioning. You won’t have to play by the old rules but will instead have extra sovereignty to invent the future. AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18): According to my analysis of the astrological omens, you can expect an unlikely coincidence or two in the coming days. You should also be alert for helpfully prophetic dreams, clear telepathic messages and pokes from tricky informers. In fact, I suspect that useful hints and clues will be swirling in extra abundance, sometimes in the form of direct communications from reliable sources but on occasion as mysterious signals from strange angels.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You know that inner work you’ve been doing with such diligence? I’m referring to those psycho-spiritual transformations you have been attending to in the dark ... the challenging but oddly gratifying negotiations you’ve been carrying on with your secret self ... the steady, strong future you’ve been struggling to forge out of the chaos? Well, I foresee you making a big breakthrough in the coming weeks. The progress you’ve been earning, which up until now has been mostly invisible to others, will fina ly be seen and appreciated. The vows you uttered so long ago will, at last, yield at least some of the tangible results you’ve pined for.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): I’m not asking you to tell me about the places and situations where you feel safe and fragile and timid. I want to know about where you feel safe and strong and bold. Are there sanctuaries that nurture your audacious wisdom? Are there natural sites that tease out your primal willpower and help you clarify your goals? Go to those power spots. Allow them to exalt you with their transformative blessings. Pray and sing and dance there. And maybe find a new oasis to excite and incite you, as well. Your creative savvy will bloom in November if you nurture yourself now with this magic.

able formulas may temporarily be useless or even deceptive. An ally could be withholding an important detail from you. Your favorite psychological crutch is in disrepair, and your go-to excuse is no longer viable. And yet I think you’re going to be just fine, Leo. Plan B will probably work better than Plan A. Secondary sources and substitutes should provide you with all the leverage you need. And I bet you will fina ly capitalize on an advantage that you have previously neglected. For best results, be vigilant for unexpected help.
