The “creepy clown” trend reached Vermont last week when a student in a clown mask at Jean Garvin School in Williston disrupted class by knocking on a window, panicking students. In response, the state’s professional clowns say they are devoting extra time in their programs to address their crowds’ clown phobias. “Obviously … I’m saddened by it,” said Troy Wunderle, artistic director for Circus Smirkus and a former director of clowning for Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey circus. The hysteria hasn’t hurt business yet, Wunderle added, largely because his school-based circus camp, Wunderle’s Big Top Adventures, books contracts a year in advance. “But I am hearing more often that, ‘Oh, my brother is afraid of clowns.’ ‘My mother is afraid of clowns.’ ‘I’m afraid of clowns.’ ‘Clowns are creepy,’” he said. Wunderle reminds his students that the art of clowning involves much more than donning a funny wig, big shoes and face paint. To that end, he doesn’t wear anything a typical clown would. “But my actions, my emotions, my movements, my sound effects all say clown … It’s a cartoon, and cartoons aren’t scary.”

Police arrested Christopher Holwager, 26, of Waltham at the Williston Old Navy last week after store employees reported two “suspicious” customers. Holwager and his female companion had previously been accused of shoplifting from the store. Additionally, Holwager was banned from having any contact with his sidekick as a condition of his release for a prior offense. Once behind bars, Holwager used his only phone call to ring the very same woman he was banned from contacting — resulting in a new charge. “We’ve arrested someone for DUI before and they call someone to come pick them up, and that person shows up drunk, too,” said Sgt. Bart Chamberlain of the Williston Police Department. “But this is a first for me.”

Ditching Donald

ast April, Republican Senate candidate SCOTT MILNE slammed his party’s future presidential nominee, DONALD TRUMP, for “cozying up to the [Ku Klux] Klan.” But, he added, “I’m not ruling him out.” In June, Milne called Trump’s denigration of a federal judge whose parents were born in Mexico “distressing.” But, the Senate candidate said, “I’m still listening.” In July, Milne said it was “a poor decision” for Trump to post anti-Semitic imagery on Twitter. But, he added, “I would be delighted if I was in a place where I was supporting Donald Trump by November.” In August, Milne called Trump’s Islamophobic attacks on KHIZR and GHAZALA KHAN — the parents of a slain Army captain — “silly.” But, Milne said, he was “still hopeful” he could find a way to support his party’s nominee. On Saturday afternoon, Milne called a newly released videotape of Trump bragging about sexual assault “disgusting,” “offensive” and “pretty disturbing.” But, 9:59 AM he said of the 2005 Access Hollywood video, “It’s not enough for me to change what I told you, which is, ‘I’ll tell you who I’m voting for when we get closer.’” Then, something mysterious happened. After months of excusing the inexcusable, Milne finally grew a backbone — or a conscience. Or maybe he just made an overdue political calculation. Within 20 minutes of arguing that Trump’s “grab them by the pussy” remarks were “not enough” to disqualify him from the presidency, Milne called back to say that they were. “I was optimistic that Trump was going to evolve into a candidate that I at least wouldn’t vote against, but he has evolved into a candidate that I can’t 1:23 PM vote for in the last 24 hours,” Milne told Seven Days later that afternoon. “This latest thing was the straw that broke the camel’s back. Whether I was going to vote for him or not, now it’s clear I’m not going to vote for him.” Milne, who is challenging Sen. PATRICK LEAHY (D-Vt.) in next month’s election, was hardly alone in his deathbed conversion. Throughout the country last weekend, GOP politicians pulled their endorsements like rats fleeing a sinking orange ship. Even in Vermont, where many top Republicans had long since abandoned Trump, a few remaining rodents scurried ashore.

OPEN SEASON ON VERMONT POLITICS BY PAUL HEINTZ

“At this time, I am withdrawing my support for Mr. Trump,” House Minority Leader DON TURNER (R-Milton) said in a statement Saturday night, calling the nominee’s words “indefensible, offensive and inexcusable.” They were also politically problematic for Turner’s House Republican caucus, which he had been hoping to expand beyond its near-super-minority status in November’s election. “I’m very concerned about it,” Turner said Monday. “I’ve spent six years of my life trying to get more Republicans in the

legislature, and I could see that all go away because of a presidential candidate we had no say about.” Well, technically, they did have some say in the matter. In last March’s presidential primary, Vermont Republicans gave Trump a plurality of their votes. And at July’s Republican National Convention, all but three Vermont delegates cast ballots for the eventual nominee. “I’m just hopeful that Vermonters will decide who they want to be the next president but they won’t hold it against anyone down the ballot,” Turner said. At greatest risk is the state party’s greatest hope: Lt. Gov. PHIL SCOTT, who is locked in a tight gubernatorial race with Democratic former transportation secretary SUE MINTER. To be sure, Scott dodged a bullet by denouncing Trump 13 months ago and consistently confirming that he would never vote for the man. That’s kept Democrats from tagging Scott as a Trump toady, the way they have GOP gubernatorial nominee CHRIS SUNUNU in New Hampshire. And it’s kept them from calling out his every awkward bob

and weave, the way they have Sen. KELLY AYOTTE (R-N.H.) in the Granite State. “Every day that goes by and the more I hear off the campaign trail from Donald Trump just reaffirms my decision,” Scott says. “I feel good about the decision I made.” But the lieutenant governor says that he, too, is “concerned” that Trump’s selfimmolation could cost Scott the race. Republicans tend to do worse in Vermont during presidential election years because otherwise flaky Democratic voters suddenly turn out in droves. That trend could be exacerbated in November if Trump’s presence on the ticket further juices Democratic turnout. JAKE PERKINSON, a former chair of the Vermont Democratic Party, says he thinks most Vermont Republicans “have positioned themselves fairly well” in opposition to Trump. But even though some BERNIE SANDERS-loving Democrats aren’t keen on backing presidential nominee HILLARY CLINTON, Perkinson argues, “I think that’s going to be countered by an even more depressed turnout among Republicans because of Trump.” DAVID SUNDERLAND, who chairs the Vermont Republican Party, disagrees with that theory. He argues that “the prospect of a Hillary Clinton presidency” will do more than enough to motivate his party stalwarts. “He’s the only alternative to a Hillary Clinton presidency, which is unfathomable,” Sunderland says of Trump. The party chair is in an uncomfortable position. He calls the latest Trump bombshell “repulsive and disappointing and shocking.” But even though the Vermont GOP has said for months that it’ll focus exclusively on state elections this year, there’s not much he can do to remove the taint of Trump. “He’s our party’s nominee, and we are the Republican Party of Vermont, and the Republican Party of Vermont supports its nominees,” Sunderland says. “So that’s where we’re at.” Sunderland’s job is made harder by party leaders who don’t exactly stay on message. Over the weekend, Turner’s minority whip, Rep. BRIAN SAVAGE (R-Swanton), wrote on Facebook that he could no longer support Trump. But as Vermont Public Radio’s PETER HIRSCHFELD reported, Savage later deleted the post and defended Trump’s X-rated remarks. “We’ve probably said similar things in our lifetime, you and I,” the Swanton

Not only that, Dupont says, but Clinton is also a “predator.” “I think she preyed on the women that her husband had affairs with,” the Manchester Republican says. “She took their name and tried to go after them and actually spent money researching one and calling her a ‘bimbo.’” Derby activist CHET GREENWOOD agrees that Clinton is “an enabler.” Trump’s comments were “disturbing,” the Orleans County Republican Party chair says, “but it’s between two adults. The things I’ve read about Hillary and Bill Clinton are far worse than that.” And Trump, Greenwood argues, doesn’t always mean what he says. “He’s not polished. He’s not a politician,” Greenwood says. “When he says ‘no Muslims,’ he doesn’t mean that. He means he’s going to screen ’em.” Like Rep. Savage in Swanton, Addison County Republican Party chair JON CHRISTIANO seems to think all men talk about grabbing women’s genitals without their permission. “You’re a guy. So am I. We’ve probably all said similar things,” the New Haven resident says. “There just wasn’t a camera on at the time.” Again, yuck. “If it came down to him and Hillary Clinton, at least he didn’t leave an American ambassador to die in a foreign country,” Christiano adds. “She’s infinitely worse than Donald Trump could be.” Dupont, the Bennington County chair, says she thinks Scott erred in condemning his party’s presidential nominee. “I’m disappointed in any Republican that doesn’t back the Republican ticket,” she says. “If you’re a Republican, first of all, Reagan said you never speak ill of another Republican.” But Dupont says she’ll still vote for Scott — at least to keep Minter out of the governor’s office. “She’s a Democrat. She’s a touchyfeely person. She’s giving everything away,” Dupont explains. “We can’t afford it … If you raise taxes any more in Vermont, you’re going to kill Vermont completely.” m

Republican told Hirschfeld with a chuckle. “It’s just that the microphone probably wasn’t on.” Yuck. Other prominent Republicans also weighed in on Facebook. DEB BUCKNAM, the party’s nominee for attorney general, said that while Trump’s words were “gross,” Clinton had “destroyed women’s lives.” She repeated accusations, raised by Trump at Sunday’s presidential debate, that the Democratic nominee had intimidated women who had accused her husband of extramarital affairs. “If BILL CLINTON and his enabler wife, who set out to destroy Bill’s accusers, are qualified to be President, then this conversation by Donald Trump certainly does not disqualify him,” the St. Johnsbury attorney wrote. Reached Monday by phone, Bucknam was far less loquacious. She refused to say who she was supporting in the presidential contest, nor what she thought about Trump’s remarks. “No comment,” she said. “I am focused on my own race.” Many of Trump’s most prominent Vermont supporters remain in his camp and eagerly parrot his most salacious — and, in some cases, unfounded — accusations. “Trump rightly apologized for private but crass comments from 10 years ago,” says party vice chair BRADY TOENSING, who chairs Trump’s Vermont campaign. “But while he said bad things, the Clintons have done bad things. There are four dead in Benghazi. There are victims of sexual harassment, assault and even rape who are not believed but instead viciously discredited by the Clinton coterie of political grifters.” Trump state director DARCIE JOHNSTON agrees, adding, “Hillary Clinton is a crook and a liar.” Johnston’s candidate has been roundly criticized since suggesting at Sunday’s debate that he would lock Clinton up if he won the White House. But some Vermont activists seem to think his plan makes sense. “Hillary should be in jail,” says RICHARD BAILEY, a Hyde Park resident who chairs the Lamoille County Republican Party. “I think she’s guilty of breaking the Espionage Act many, many times.” According to Bennington County Republican Party chair CAROL DUPONT, “She caused quite a few people to die.”

Hunting Foes Want to Snare Seats on Vermont’s Fish & Wildlife Board B Y M O LLY WA LSH

KIM SCAFURO

s sunlight filtered through an overgrown apple orchard in Lincoln, Patrick Berry lifted his shotgun and fired. A loud boom echoed through the tangle of woods, and a bird dropped from just above the trees. Within minutes, Berry’s dog had found the woodcock on the ground. It was not quite dead. Berry took the needle-billed bird and quickly twisted its neck. He patted Keller, his silky-haired spaniel, and put the woodcock in a bag — later to be plucked, seared and served as savory canapés. Berry looks like he stepped out of the pages of an Orvis catalog. The vice president for philanthropy at the Vermont Community Foundation grew up in suburban Washington, D.C., and didn’t take up hunting until he was an adult. But he shares a bond with his fellow members on the Vermont Fish & Wildlife Board. The 14 board members shoot deer, snare rabbits, trap muskrats, land lake trout and bag moose. If stuffing an animal comes up, board member and professional taxidermist Theresa Elmer of Northfield brings her experience to the table. For decades Vermont hunters and trappers have been regulating hunting and trapping. But now critics of the board say it’s time for change. People who don’t hunt or trap, known as “nonconsumptives,” want to be represented on the board. They point out that the number of hunters continues to shrink in Vermont: The state issued 67,143 licenses last year, compared with 145,725 in 1970. Critics say it’s time for the board to represent all Vermonters and, by extension, to acknowledge other ways to interact with the state’s wildlife population. “There’s definitely a large segment of the population who doesn’t hunt or trap, and they currently feel like they are left out of the decision-making process,” said Brenna Galdenzi, president of the Stowebased anti-trapping group Protect Our Wildlife, which formed in 2015. Defenders of the status quo see the push as a hostile takeover attempt by people who don’t understand Vermont’s hunting tradition. The whole point of the board is to oversee rules on taking game, said Berry, an East Middlebury resident. “So if you come to the board with an unmovable bias against hunting, fishing and trapping, you are fundamentally unqualified,” he said. Kevin Lawrence, the Newbury resident who chairs the board, agrees. “If someone is totally against something, how can they work to support it? It’s like if you said, ‘I’m pretty much against building homes

in Vermont and I want to be on the state board of architecture and make it pretty much impossible for someone to build homes,’” he said. If anti-hunters and anti-trappers get on the board, it will lead to nothing but “no” votes and obstructionism, he added. Walter Medwid, a Derby resident and lifelong conservationist, is one of the leading proponents for a different sort of board. He helped convince Vermont Rep. Jim McCullough (D-Williston) to propose adding six nonconsumptive members to the board in February during a meeting of the House Committee on Fish, Wildlife and Water Resources. “It had a very brief moment in the sun,” Medwid said, acknowledging that the idea quickly bombed and never left the committee. But he’s not giving up. Medwid and others have consulted with a lobbyist and are meeting to come up with a new proposal. The idea is in the early stages but could result in a more concerted push for change at the legislature in 2017, said Medwid, declining to be more specific. He said the board is out of step with the public in numerous ways: by continuing to allow moose hunting when the

population has declined sharply; condoning an open season on coyotes; and nearly expanding the current trapping season for bobcats. “It’s rare to see a bobcat,” said Medwid. And yet instead of serving the wildlifeviewing public, current state policy serves “people who are going to sell a pelt to China,” he said. On September 21, more than 50 people attended a contentious five-hour Fish & Wildlife Board hearing to weigh a trapper petition to extend the bobcat season by two weeks. Fish & Wildlife Department scientists opposed the expansion, and many members of the public railed against the idea. The board ultimately voted 7-6 against the proposal. But the narrow defeat was not comforting to critics who don’t think bobcats should be trapped at all. Numerous other states ban trapping of the furtive, elegant feline, whose whiskered face, tufted ears and penetrating gaze make it an especially striking creature — and one with a large fan club. The animal, native to Vermont, made a comeback after being nearly wiped out in the

1800s by a combination of uncontrolled trapping and habitat loss. The bobcat has also recovered in neighboring states, and trappers now want to lift restrictions that helped the species rebound. The New Hampshire Fish and Game Commission in February approved bobcat trapping there. But public outrage prompted legislators to step in and block the move. Nonhunters and non-trappers are now getting more of a say in game decisions in New Hampshire. That needs to happen in Vermont as well, according to people like Peggy Larson, a retired veterinarian who lives in Williston. She made the trip last month to the bobcat meeting, which took place in Woodbury at the Buck Lake Conservation Camp. The location felt like “the middle of nowhere” and forced attendees to park far from the building and walk back to their cars on a dark, rutted road, Larson said. The location underscored the fact that the board pays scant attention to the wishes of the general public, said Larson, who opposes trapping and doesn’t feel represented on the board. “We have no voice,” she said.

n assessing Gov. Peter Shumlin’s legacy after six years in office, observers are likely to note the obvious highs and lows: his fight against opiate addiction, the failed single-payer health care plan, shutting down the Vermont Yankee nuclear power plant and his administration’s ties to the EB-5 investment scandal in the Northeast Kingdom. But in fact, one of Shumlin’s leastcovered contributions could prove to have the longest-lasting effect on the state: He has appointed many more judges, at all levels, than any previous governor in recent history. After he selects a replacement for retiring Supreme Court Justice John Dooley later this year, Shumlin will have named three of the court’s five justices — more than either Howard Dean, who was governor for 12 years, or his successor, Jim Douglas, who served for eight. In addition, Shumlin has picked nearly half of Vermont’s superior court jurists — 13 judges of 34, with two more vacancies left to fill before he leaves office. That means criminal defendants, families involved in custody disputes and civil litigants across Vermont are more likely to have their fates decided by a Shumlin appointee than a judge selected by any other governor. Most of Shumlin’s judges are young enough to remain on the bench for years

or decades after he leaves office. They’ll make crucial decisions in controversies over energy siting, school consolidation, child custody, opiate addiction, mental health treatment and other hot-button issues yet to emerge. “One of the huge responsibilities any governor has is to give tremendous thought to who you appoint to the bench,” Shumlin said in an interview. “With a little bit of a luck, they survive a lot longer than you do.” Shumlin, a former state senator who ran his family’s travel agency, came to the office with little legal experience. The opportunity to leave an imprint on the court system “snuck up on me,” Shumlin said. “I had never given it much thought until I became governor.” Observers say it is difficult to find a common denominator in Shumlin’s choices: He has selected people from a wide variety of professional backgrounds and plumbed both big names and attorneys with lower public profiles. Most of Shumlin’s appointees to superior court spots spent their careers in the private sector: Compared to his predecessors, Shumlin selected relatively few candidates from the small army of prosecutors and government attorneys in the state.

He appointed prominent defense attorney Kevin Griffin, who was not widely known in political circles, to the bench in 2012, as well as Kirstin Schoonover, a staff attorney with Vermont Legal Aid — not exactly a traditional launching pad to a judgeship — in 2015. Shumlin has also chosen several private-sector attorneys who specialized in civil law. Shumlin has put only two sitting prosecutors on the superior court bench: former Windsor County state’s attorney Michael Kainen, a Republican who had served in the Vermont House of Representatives for eight years before he became a public lawyer; and former deputy Chittenden County state’s attorney Mary Morrissey. Shumlin said he places more stock in character than background and has sought to name judges who want to move away from crime and punishment and consider alternatives to incarceration. “You can’t read too much into where they came from,” Shumlin said. “I’m more concerned about who they are. The first criteria has been compassion, common sense and folks who don’t think that they’re more important than the people who appear before them. I wanted judges with the courage to rethink how we are dealing with

a huge segment of the people we’re incarcerating.” Outside experts say Shumlin has generally stuck with a long-standing Vermont tradition of keeping political considerations out of the judiciary. “I’m not sure governors necessarily pick people for the courts that match their political philosophy,” said Montpelier attorney and former deputy secretary of state Paul Gillies, who is writing a history of the Vermont judicial system. “We’ve been fortunate in having judges that are apolitical and are going to follow the law and not be influenced by other factors. They’re more judicial than they are political.” Governors do not have a free hand in selecting judges. An independent committee, the Judicial Nominating Board, solicits applications for judicial openings, interviews contenders and forwards a batch of finalists to the governor. The committee has 11 members who all serve two-year terms: three senators, three members of the House, three attorneys appointed by the Vermont Bar Association and two attorneys appointed by the governor. The process generally leaves governors with a handful of names from which to select a judge for each opening, though governors have their ways of influencing the options — especially when, as is currently the case, his or her party has the majority of seats on the nominating board. “I encourage people from time to time to apply,” Shumlin said. “I don’t always get the people I’d hoped I have.” Supreme Court appointments tend to get more scrutiny. By the time he leaves office, Shumlin will have appointed four judges to the Supreme Court bench, but one of them, Geoffrey Crawford, left after only a year to become a federal judge. Shumlin’s other two selections have been Harold “Duke” Eaton Jr., a former insurance lawyer whom Douglas had appointed a superior court judge, and Beth Robinson, Shumlin’s former general counsel. Robinson’s qualifications included standing on the other side of the bench on which she now sits, arguing successfully for the legalization of civil unions; Robinson went on to convince the state legislature to enact same-sex marriage. In fact, the gay-rights activist might have qualified as a “political” pick, but the Vermont Senate confirmed Robinson

begin reviewing applications and attempt to send Shumlin a batch of finalists before he leaves office. “I’m a little puzzled by the surprise,” Shumlin said. “The statute clearly states if a judge resigns or chooses not to be retained, it’s the governor’s responsibility to choose a replacement. I’m just doing my job, as other governors have in the past.” In an interview, Dooley said he gave no consideration to which governor would choose his successor. He was facing a deadline of September 1 to apply for a new term. While he might have stayed on for another year or two, Dooley, 72, said he was unwilling to commit to a full term. “I know I’m not going to want to do it for the full six years,” Dooley said. “I might have done it a little while longer, but I don’t think it’s fair to tell someone I want to go forward.” Shumlin declined to discuss his preference for Dooley’s successor. But the governor went out of his way to note that Dooley was one of former governor Madeleine Kunin’s closest advisers, serving as her legal counsel and secretary of administration before she elevated him to the high court. Shumlin’s equivalent, former chief of staff Liz Miller, has come up as a possible successor to Dooley. Other

names circulating in legal circles include Addison County State’s Attorney David Fenster, Chittenden Superior Court Judge Helen Toor, House Speaker Shap Smith (D-Morristown) and Burlington City Attorney Eileen Blackwood. Shumlin explained some of the challenges in choosing. “Justice Dooley will go down as one of the great justices in Vermont history,” he said, but had he picked someone like Dooley to serve on the Supreme Court today, “it would be perceived as a political appointment and not on the merits.” Dooley said he believes whoever replaces him will win Shumlin’s support based more on personal traits than their professional background. “The one thing I sense … I noticed it of Gov. Kunin, and it’s true of [Shumlin], is the interview is very important to them,” Dooley said. “They haven’t been lawyers — it’s not their world — but they want to get to know them personally.” He continued: “I came to the court not having been a judge and having an unusual career, and every one of my colleagues came from a different way, and I’ve come to appreciate that. The thing I most appreciate is, it’s important to get people from different perspectives and career paths.” m Contact: mark@sevendaysvt.com, @Davis7D or 865-1020, ext. 23

got that mix of intelligence and massive experience.” Vermont judges reapply for their jobs every six years, whereupon a legislative board reviews and almost always reappoints them. But in September, Dooley declined to apply for a fresh six-year term and announced that he would step down in March — two months into the term of whomever is elected to replace Shumlin. It led some to speculate that the new governor would name Dooley’s replacement, but Shumlin quickly said he would make the appointment — something many people didn’t expect the outgoing governor to do. State Sen. Peg Flory (R-Rutland) who chairs the Judicial Nominating Board, announced that the committee would

unanimously. Unlike their counterparts on the nation’s highest court, Vermont’s Supremes do not get to select the cases that come before them. The issues they consider tend to be more practical than ideological. As Gillies put it: “I don’t know what the liberal position is on highway law or Act 250.” Broadly speaking, experts say Chief Justice Paul Reiber and Eaton are more conservative than Robinson and Dooley. Justice Marilyn Skoglund is less predictable. But most decisions issued by the Vermont Supreme Court tend to be 5-0 or 4-1, and the fault lines vary. Describing it as an “odd court,” Vermont Bar Association president Dan Richardson said he doesn’t think Shumlin has altered the “essential balance” of the state’s highest-ranking judicial body. “His appointments have maintained the status quo of what is a moderate to leftleaning court,” he said. One of Shumlin’s final appointments is poised to be his most controversial. Dooley, Vermont’s longest-serving justice, will be remembered for his support of two groundbreaking decisions: One made Vermont the first state to legalize civil unions for same-sex couples, and the other established a school-funding scheme designed to level the playing field for poorer towns.

Free College? Minter Proposes; Scott Skeptical B Y T ER R I HA LLEN BEC K

wo Castleton University students were among those asking questions at a gubernatorial debate last month in Rutland, so the conversation naturally turned to higher education. “What do you see as the primary factor contributing to the large gap between high school graduation and college attendance rates in Vermont?” asked Vanessa Robertson, a senior political science major from Rutland. Democratic candidate Sue Minter could hardly wait to answer. “Thank you for this question,” she said. “We have the highest high school graduation rates in the country, but when it comes to continuing beyond, we’re actually near the bottom.” Minter then described her proposal to underwrite the first two years of college tuition for Vermonters who attend Community College of Vermont or Vermont Technical College. Her initiative, called Vermont Promise, is one of the most ambitious plans either candidate has proposed in the 2016 governor’s race. Republican gubernatorial candidate Phil Scott said his priority is to grow the state’s economy and, after that happens, to increase support of the state colleges. Scott’s campaign said he also plans to work with the state treasurer to determine ways to provide more affordable student loans to Vermonters. “Nothing is free,” he told the debate audience. “We’re all going to pay for it. It’s going to raise the cost of living in Vermont.” The idea of free college has been a popular one in the 2016 presidential election. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) wooed voters with his call to make tuition free at all public colleges and universities. Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton has followed with a plan to allow students from families that earn less than $125,000 a year to attend public colleges without paying. Late last month, Sanders and Clinton touted her proposal together in New Hampshire. Meanwhile, free, state-sponsored tuition programs have started popping up around the country. Tennessee, Minnesota and Oregon have launched scholarships within the last couple

years. Kentucky has passed legislation to join them, and 12 other states have similar legislation pending, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. Minter used Tennessee’s year-old program as the model for her $12 million-a-year scholarship plan — and Vermontified the name. The Green Mountain version of the Tennessee Promise would begin by spending $6 million to cover one freshman class, then double that investment to reach two classes at a time. The money would come from increasing a franchise tax on the five largest banks operating in Vermont. But is “free” tuition viable? Should banks have to pay for it? How would subsidized tuition at the state’s two-year colleges affect its cash-strapped four-year colleges? And are legislators inclined to embrace the idea? With those questions swirling, Minter’s plan doesn’t seem to be generating much vocal support, even among those in her own party. Former Vermont State Colleges chancellor Tim Donovan stood beside Minter in June when she launched her free tuition plan at a Winooski press conference. He bemoaned state leaders’ decisions over the last 30 years that “let Vermont’s investment in postsecondary education decline to dead last in the country by nearly every measure. And then we lament the very results of that public policy: the cost of college, decline in college continuation, exodus of our youth and absence of a prepared workforce,” he said. Two weeks ago, Donovan reiterated that he applauds Minter for raising college affordability as a campaign issue. “Damn right,” he said. But he cautioned that he wasn’t endorsing Minter or her specific Vermont

SHOULD BANKS HAVE TO PAY FOR IT?

Promise idea. He just wants to see it on the state’s political agenda. There is little debate that college affordability is a growing problem in Vermont. In 2014, the average student debt for public and private four-year institutions in Vermont was $29,060, according to the Institute for College Access & Success. Vermont ranks 49th among states for in-state public college tuition costs; only New Hampshire comes in costlier. A year’s tuition at CCV

for 15 credits per semester runs $7,658. At VTC, it’s $12,960, not including room, board and books. Minter argues that her Vermont Promise plan will encourage more students to try college, prepare them for available jobs and let them graduate with less debt. She said she turned to the Tennessee model because it was the first to offer free tuition to two-year public colleges — and it appears to be succeeding. There’s no income limit to qualify. Tennessee, which has a Republican governor and Republican-controlled legislature, opted to expand a private tuition program that started in Knoxville to create the statewide public Tennessee Promise last year. Gov. Bill Haslam, a former Knoxville mayor, views it as a key economic development tool, spokesman David Smith said. “It’s an incredible selling point to be able to tell employers they’ll have the trained workforce they need,” Smith said. In fall 2015, 16,291 Tennessee high school students filled out the federal financial aid form and qualified for Promise scholarships that averaged around $900, according to Kate Derrick, director of external relations at the Tennessee Higher Education Commission. The money covered tuition balances after the application of all other federal, state and private aid. Students still had to pay for room, board and books and complete eight hours of community service per semester. Eighty percent of those scholarship students returned for the second semester, the same rate as first-year students in the past, said Derrick. The state does not yet have statistics on how many of the students came back this fall for a second year, she said. But Tennessee did see a 10 percent increase in freshman student enrollment at its public colleges during the program’s first year, according to Derrick. “That’s huge,” she said. Tennessee funds the $20 million-a-year program with money from the state’s

GOT A NEWS TIP? NEWS@SEVENDAYSVT.COM

lottery reserve, which is required by law to be invested in higher education, Derrick said. Because the lottery had surplus money available, the decision to use it for this purpose was not controversial, she said. Oregon’s legislature financed its brand-new tuition program with a $10 million appropriation from the general fund. There, 19,223 students applied for aid this year, and 10,459 received it, said Endi Hartigan, communications and policy specialist at the Oregon Higher Education Coordinating Commission. Minnesota started a smaller-scale two-year free-tuition pilot project targeting certain college majors this year and saw 800 students apply, said Thomas Sanford, finance and accountability manager at the Minnesota Office of Higher Education. The first year’s $5 million came from state’s general fund, and there’s a $90,000 household income limit to qualify. All of these programs are so new, there’s no solid statistical evidence of how well the investments are paying off. Nor do any two states have the same political, demographic or educational landscape. For example, Vermont’s state college system is tiny compared to the others. And, unlike Tennessee, the state isn’t sitting on a pot of unspoken-for lottery revenues — a portion of which already funds secondary education — and new general fund appropriations are scarce. Minter has instead proposed financing her plan by increasing a tax the state charges on bank deposits. Targeting institutions with more than $750 million in deposits, her tax would hit the largest banks that do business in Vermont. “I would like to partner with them,” Minter said. Partnership is probably not the word the banks would use to describe it, said Chris D’Elia, president and treasurer of the Vermont Bankers Association, which represents 20 financial institutions. D’Elia said he’s been trying to arrange a meeting with Minter to talk about her plan since early August: “I’ve been told by her scheduler that she’s not available.” “I don’t know why that is,” Minter responded. “I know that meeting’s going to occur.” Minter’s plan would affect only five banks: People’s United, Merchants, Citizens, Key and TD banks. But all banks in the state are unified in opposing the plan for fear it would later include them, D’Elia said. “We’re going to work our butts off to make sure this doesn’t pass,” he said.

When asked about the proposed tax increase, Minter initially objected to the wording. “This proposal isn’t a tax increase,” she said. “It’s a fee.” The state Department of Taxes refers to it as a “bank franchise tax.” Minter conceded the point and revised her characterization: “It’s a tax, primarily on out-of-state banks.” Revenue from the bank franchise tax has been virtually flat in recent years, making it ripe for an increase, she argued. Indeed, Gov. Peter Shumlin and lawmakers have in recent years proposed increasing the tax to fill budget gaps, but each time those proposals were dropped. D’Elia said the state enacted the franchise tax years ago as an alternative to charging banks a corporate income tax. That’s because a tax on bank deposit levels represented a more stable revenue source, he said. In 2005, the tax generated $11.2 million in revenue; in 2015, $13.8 million. One of the reasons the tax appears to be a flat revenue source for the general fund is that the state legislature has chosen to divert an increasing amount of it to pay for affordable housing and downtown tax credits, D’Elia said — from $383,000 in 2005 to $3.1 million in 2015. Scott, Minter’s Republican opponent, said at last week’s debate that he opposed increasing the tax because banks would simply pass the expense to their customers. That’s true, D’Elia said. “They can’t absorb $2 to $3 million without some consequence,” he said, suggesting layoffs, branch closures, fewer loans and less charitable giving would be likely. Beyond the funding source, Minter’s free tuition plan raises other concerns, even among those sold on the idea that something must be done to make college more affordable. James Black, chair of the Business & Economics Department at Johnson State College, argued that offering two years of free tuition at CCV and VTC would kill the state’s four-year colleges. “You could come and pay $10,000 at Johnson, or go to CCV for free,” Black said. Declining enrollment is already forcing Johnson and Lyndon State College to merge. Minter countered that her plan would attract new students, helping the Vermont State Colleges system as a whole. Black also questioned whether making college free is a sound idea. “There needs to be skin in the game,” he said, noting that students who were

The largest Medicaid fraud case in state history is over. Burlington Labs will pay the Vermont Medicaid program $6.75 million in a settlement, the Vermont Attorney General’s Office announced on Monday. The seven-year repayment plan includes fines as well as roughly $5 million to cover improperly billed charges. The settlement was expected, and it clears the path for an investor group headed by Jim Crook of Shelburne to purchase the locally grown drug-screening company on Burlington’s Main Street. Crook’s group had warned that the company could go under if it didn’t get a bailout — quickly. State regulators green-lighted the purchase in August, pending the settlement agreement with the AG. The deal allows Burlington Labs cofounders Michael Casarico and his wife, Jodie, to retain an interest in a new version of the business going forward, but with additional scrutiny and compliance measures. “This settlement balances the ongoing needs for drug-testing services in Vermont with ensuring proper billings for services rendered and safeguarding of state and federal monies,” Attorney General Bill Sorrell said in a statement. No criminal charges were filed. Burlington Labs is a privately owned company that conducts drug and alcohol screening tests on recovering addicts and recently released inmates, among other clients. The company violated a number of Medicaid rules from January 1 to June 30, 2015, according to the settlement. The company billed as much as $1,150 for drug screenings, and revenue surged without a corresponding increase in the number of patients. Burlington Labs received more than $12 million from the Vermont Medicaid

offered free tuition to an external degree program at Johnson last year had a higher incidence of failing to complete their work. Black, who described himself as a Republican disinclined to support Minter, said he agrees that college debt is out of hand. But he would prefer that the state offer income tax credits to Vermont students who stay in the state after completing their degrees. He’s not the only one who questions the free-tuition strategy. Though he is passionate about making higher ed more affordable, Donovan agreed with Black that students need to make some financial commitment to college in order to succeed. Donovan also suggested that tuition assistance should be targeted to those who need it the most. “I think there are families that can and should afford college tuition for their kids and themselves,” he said. Minter mentions Vermont Promise amid other proposals on the campaign trail but isn’t pushing it hard enough to get any real momentum. It’s not featured prominently in her ads or on her website, and legislative candidates don’t appear to be lining up behind it. “That’s going to change when I’m the governor,” Minter declared. But members of Minter’s own party appear to be lowering expectations. “I’m not going to say we’re committing to do this,” said House Majority Leader Sarah Copeland Hanzas (D-Bradford), who is a candidate to be the next House speaker. “I don’t get the sense that this is what people are driving for.” Sen. Tim Ashe (D/P-Chittenden), chair of the Senate Finance Committee and a candidate to be the next Senate leader, acknowledged that college affordability is an issue but said he wants to see who’s elected U.S. president. If Clinton wins, her college tuition plan could affect what Vermont does, he said. “I can’t say I’m wildly familiar with the specifics of Sue Minter’s proposal,” he said, noting that past efforts to raise the bank franchise fee met opposition in the Senate in part because Vermont-based Merchants Bank would be affected. But he gives Minter credit. “Sue Minter is putting it out there as a goal. That’s a good thing,” Ashe said. m Disclosure: Tim Ashe is the domestic partner of Seven Days publisher and coeditor Paula Routly. Contact: terri@sevendaysvt.com

Ivan McBeth (Iain M. Smith), age 63, passed away peacefully just before dawn on the Equinox, September 23, 2016, in his home in Worcester, Vt. Born June 9, 1953 in Devon, England, he moved to the U.S. in 2005. Ivan McBeth was a Druid in the Order of Bards, Ovates and Druids, and founder of the Green Mountain Druid Order, a modern mystery school based in Worcester, with his partner Fearn Lickfield. He was a founding member of the Oak Dragon Project in Britain and taught regularly in various schools of healing and geomancy. He led regular ceremonies and courses around Vermont. His passion was the creation of sacred space and stone circles in particular. He was a founding member of the Circles for Peace project in the U.S., and is co-responsible for the Burlington Earth Clock and another 25 fullsize stone circles around the

(Clark) O’Connell. He graduated from Burlington High School and worked several years in food service. He cared about others as well as the homeless, and he spent time at the food shelf. He volunteered as Santa Claus and as a bell ringer for the Salvation Army. Daniel loved to tell jokes and play cribbage, and he loved old cars and long drives around Vermont, seeking natural beauty and owls. His insight and the way he explored the world was through others and the Bathroom Reader. Facts and information were his thing. He could have been a “Jeopardy!” contestant. He was charismatic and genuine. He would say hi to anyone, no matter who they were. His smile, his long Santa beard and his kindness will be deeply missed in the community. He was a light to everyone he encountered. He is survived by his daughter, Dawn M. O’Connell of Burlington; and his siblings and their spouses: Joy and William McGrath of Burlington, Dennis O’Connell and Karen Lee of Essex Junction, Kathleen O’Connell of North Carolina and Steven O’ Connell of Sharon. Along with his parents, he was predeceased by two sisters: Marguerite Wright and Judith Heller. A private family gathering will be held on Saturday, October 15, in Burlington.

The Most Reverend Kenneth A. Angell, the eighth Bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Burlington, age 86, died on October 4, 2016. Bishop Angell was born on August 3, 1930, in Providence, R.I., the son of the late Henry and Mae (Cooney) Angell. Bishop Angell attended public and private elementary schools in Providence, R.I. He attended Our Lady of Providence High School and began his seminary studies at Our Lady of Providence Seminary in Warwick, R.I. For his theological studies, he attended St. Mary’s Seminary in Baltimore, Md. Bishop Angell was ordained to the priesthood for the Diocese of Providence by the Most Reverend Russell J. McVinney, fifth Bishop of Providence, on May 26, 1956, at the Cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul, Providence. Bishop Angell began his priestly ministry in 1956 at St. Mark Parish, Jamestown, R.I, and Sacred Heart Parish,

Pawtucket, R.I. In 1960 he served as assistant pastor of St. Mary Parish, Newport. In 1968 he became Assistant Chancellor and Secretary to the Most Reverend Russell J. McVinney, Bishop of Providence, and in 1972 was appointed Chancellor and Secretary to the Most Reverend Louis E. Gelineau, sixth Bishop of Providence. Bishop Angell was named a Prelate of Honor with the title Monsignor by Pope Paul VI on December 17, 1972. On August 13, 1974, he was appointed by Pope Paul VI as Titular Bishop of Settimunicia and Auxiliary Bishop of Providence, and was ordained to the episcopate by Bishop Louis E. Gelineau on October 7, 1974. He then served as Vicar General of the Diocese of Providence until October 6, 1992, when he was appointed by Pope St. John Paul II as the eighth Bishop of Burlington. He was installed as the eighth Bishop of Burlington on November 9, 1992. Bishop Angell served as Diocesan Bishop of the Diocese of Burlington throughout the rest of the 1990s and into the new millennium. He exhibited a shepherd’s heart in his care for all the people of Vermont and lived out his episcopal motto to “serve the Lord with gladness.” After the events of September 11, 2001, in which his brother and sister-in-law lost their lives, he exhibited exceptional leadership in calling for forgiveness and mercy, as well as peace and reconciliation among all people. While Bishop of Burlington, Bishop Angell

served on the Board of Trustees of Wadhams Hall Seminary and Champlain College and was active in the Vermont Ecumenical Council and Bible Society. In addition, Bishop Angell received honorary degrees from Providence College, Our Lady of Providence Seminary, Salve Regina College and Saint Michael’s College. Following 13 years of leading the Diocese of Burlington, Bishop Angell’s resignation from office was accepted by Pope Benedict XVI on November 9, 2005. During his retirement, Bishop Angell resided in Burlington, Stowe, Winooski and, most recently, at Our Lady of Providence Home in Winooski. Bishop Angell was predeceased by his parents and by his brother and sister-in-law, David and Lynn Angell. He is survived by his sister Claire Miller and her husband Bernard, of Salem, N.H., as well as nieces and nephews Karen and Philip Brendli of Brewster, N.Y., and their children, Craig, Rebecca, and Blair and her husband Samuel; Kathleen and Joseph Grinley of Salem, N.H., and their children Marissa and her husband Mark, Patrick, and Jeffrey; Anne and David Rice of Syracuse N.Y., and their children Andrew, Lauren and Meredith; Stephen and Georgeann Miller of Golden Bridge, N.Y., and their son, Gregory. He is also survived by a great-great nephew, Kenneth, and great-great niece, Abby. A Mass of Christian Burial was celebrated on Tuesday, October 11, at St. Joseph Co-Cathedral, Allen Street, Burlington, with Bishop Christopher J. Coyne as principal celebrant. Burial will take place in the Angell family lot at St.

Off-Off-Off Broadway: Burlington’s Fringe Festival Returns B Y S A D I E W I LLI A M S

he Burlington Fringe Festival at OFF CENTER FOR THE DRAMATIC ARTS, which bills itself as “the fourth annual,” began five years ago. No, that’s not a trick or a math error. The ostensibly yearly event, which started in 2012, took a hiatus last year. Now it’s back in force: Thursday through Sunday, October 13 through 16, the Old North End venue will host 24 original performances by Vermont theater artists. In theater lingo, the term “fringe” refers to performances that are experimental or nontraditional in style or subject. Fringe fests take place around the world. The best known and largest is the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, which was born on the streets of that Scottish city in 1947. It was literally on the periphery of the then-new Edinburgh International Festival, intended as a showcase for postwar European culture. Rather than submit to the scrutiny of a panel of judges, eight rogue theater groups simply set up outside the venues of the larger event. True to that legacy, Burlington’s Fringe is unjuried: The first 24 applicants were accepted with no questions asked. This year’s event marks a turning point for the venue itself. Over the past few months, Off Center welcomed 11 new members to its board. The goal is to assist cofounding director PAUL SCHNABEL in uplifting the organization and fulfilling its mission to support the production of original theater work in the state. Schnabel is grateful for the help. “I think the community collectively realized the resource we have here,” he said in a recent interview. Off Center opened in 2010 with four founders, but, “in the way this thing evolved,” Schnabel continued, “it was kind of left that I was running the whole thing myself.” DAVID SCHEIN is one of the new board members who stepped up to the plate. “We love this place, because there’s no other place to do your work,” he said. “And there’s a lot of theater artists here who work all over. We needed a home.” The board members got together this past summer and began planning a collective management structure, discussing grants and brainstorming annual events — such as the Fringe. As usual, it will be a diverse affair. Some performers will offer excerpts from past productions, while others will

present works-in-progress. In that way, Schein said, “it might show what [will be] going on in theater from Vermont artists in the next few years.” LYRIC THEATRE executive director SYNDI ZOOK will emcee on Thursday evening, when actor G. RICHARD AMES is one of the six performers who will appear onstage. The verbose lyricist is dusting off a few songs from his March performance, Out of My Head, for the new piece “Mental Notes.” “My central issue is peace and love and happiness,” he said, “and hopefully humor to go along with it.” Waterbury-based MOXIE PRODUCTIONS will close that evening with “How the West Was Worn,” an excerpt from Jeanne Beckwith’s original musical Rodeo Gals. The script is a mashup of costume history, rodeo culture and romance — with a car crash for extra drama. On Friday night, ALEX DOSTIE and AARON MASI of GREEN CANDLE THEATRE will host, taking on the personae of various characters from works by Burlington playwright STEPHEN GOLDBERG. (The Off Center cofounder will perform that same night.) Later, the MCs will end the evening with an excerpt from Masi’s The Pirate Play, which will be staged in full next year. On Saturday night, actor Schein and Vermont poet GEOF HEWITT will perform — with squirrel puppets — an excerpt from a musical they wrote about global warming, titled Hotball. “We’ve got squirrels who just don’t know when to mate anymore,” Schein explained, “or have litters, or anything, because the climate is really weird.”

Saturday night’s lineup also includes the return of the POTATO SACK PANTS THEATER, a sketch comedy troupe that got its start at the first Burlington Fringe. Member MEREDITH GORDON noted that the group has been on hiatus for three years. They’ll perform a trio of new sketches, she said. Sunday’s late-afternoon show, hosted by actor-musician ALLAN NICHOLLS, will wrap up this year’s Fringe. KIM BENT of Montpelier’s LOST NATION THEATER will give it a literary edge by reading an excerpt from W.H. Auden’s long poem The Sea and the Mirror: A Commentary on Shakespeare’s The Tempest. Bent has been enchanted by the passage (“Caliban to the Audience”) since his days as a “dewy-eyed, poetry-reading actor,” he said. “It’s a heady, heartfelt, dramatically framed meditation about the intersection between, and the overlapping nature of, the real world and the world of the imagination.” That space between imagination and reality is where organizations like Off Center and events like Fringe thrive. “We have great resources with the FLYNN [CENTER FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS], and MAIN STREET LANDING [PERFORMING ARTS CENTER] down on the waterfront, but they can’t do what we do,” Schein said. “[Off Center] is an essential link in the cultural food chain.”

DUG NAP NAVIGATES HIS ‘ARTSY-FARTSY’ CAREER IN NEW BOOK The term “artsy-fartsy” is a fun, flatulence-inflected dismissal of the pretentiousness that can attend the art world. As such, it’s an excellent choice of title for the debut book by Burlington artist DUG NAP. For nearly three decades, he’s been forging his own distinct, witticism-strewn path through a maze of collectors, gallerists, publishers and general characters. Now, he’s telling us all about it. Released by Burlington’s FOMITE PRESS in July, Artsy Fartsy intersperses 51 of Nap’s color portraits with brief narrative descriptions written in his signature widely kerned, guileless font — which he has trademarked. Online, the book is classified as an “Odd Bird” title — one that “eludes the net of classification,” Fomite cofounder DONNA BISTER explained in an email. Like much of Nap’s work, the book’s content is drawn from his life. The cartoonlike painted portraits are visually and conceptually accessible and, at times, heartbreakingly funny in an off-color but on-point way. In

They’re also more “adult” than some of his cuter commercial works. “Isn’t that humanly interesting, Frank?” asks one of Nap’s “first fans” of another. “I’m a little drunk now but thanks for baring your soul to me,” says “the curator.” Certain parts of Nap’s texts echo in sentiment, if not in style, the textual paintings of pop artist Ed Ruscha, which emphasize the absurdity of marketing copy and art-speak. Like Ruscha, Nap seems to recognize that the silliest and most painful phrases do not need to be invented, only observed. In illustrating the art world from a single vantage point, Nap succeeds in telling his own story clearly and honestly. Despite its satirical strains, this is not simply an anti-art art book. As he navigates a strange cacophony of people sharing — and sometimes shouting — their opinions, Nap captures much of what it is to be human.

addition to being autobiographical, Artsy Fartsy tells the story of its own creation, from Nap’s first foray into art to his connecting with an editor and settling on a title. “After i got fired i didn’t know what to do with myself,” the story begins. “i tried writing a play, but that seemed too hard. Then, after i quit smoking, i found something.” In the plate that follows, a paintbrush-wielding hand renders a scene of a yellow bird sitting on a branch. Its cheeky, childlike caption reads, “Wow! This is real fun. I really like doing this. I think I’ll be an artist!” What ensues in the remaining 50 plates is a straightforward account of people (and “the cat”) who approve or disapprove of Nap’s career choice, as well as those who encourage or exploit his work. Some, like “Michelle — My Therapist,” are mentioned by name, while others, like “Some Woman at the Show” and “Someone I Used to Know’s Husband,” are more vague. Those who have spent time in Nap’s orbit, or even just in the Burlington area, will probably recognize a few folks in the book. (Seven Days shows up in Plate 45.)

composer DAMON often finds inspiration for his music in instances of visual movement: the interplay of rhythms between his windshield wipers and a blinking red traffic light, or the serially flashing letters of a pretzel-cart sign in New York City. So, when he came upon a room of gently moving, dramatically lit Alexander Calder mobiles at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., his first thought was How can this become music? After thinking it over for more than a year, Ferrante, who is also a guitar player, wrote The Footbridge, a half-hour-long piece for two guitars. Audiences will have a chance to ponder the relationship between Calder’s creations and the work when the New York City-based Anderson/Fader Guitar Duo performs it in five concerts around the state this week. The program’s second half includes works by Bach, Haydn and Enrique Granados arranged for guitar. Some of The Footbridge’s seven movements — Ferrante likes to say six and a half, because the seventh is brief and fused with the sixth — are available for a listen on YouTube and on guitarist William Anderson’s website.

leave from grad school turned into an eightyear stay. Bonhag and Premo, who will perform David Feurzeig “Soft,” say they were surprised to discover a composition for soprano and double bass that they hadn’t heard about. The electronic component makes the piece particularly tricky, Bonhag notes of the “dreamy” 25-minute work. “It feels like the tape part is another instrument,” but an “immovable” one, she says. “It’s like there’s an orchestra back there; you’re just not able to communicate with it.” Adds Premo, “You can’t cue with your head.” The couple has performed electronic compositions before — notably a piece with a live DJ on a program for ANNE DECKER’s new-music series TURNMUSIC.

for stretches and then reenters, requiring the live musicians to have “really steady tempos.” By 1986, Machover had moved from using electronic components made from reel-to-reel tapes to crafting instruments that augment sound in real time — what he calls hyperinstruments. He designed an early version of the hypercello for Yo-Yo Ma that featured sensors on the bow, instrument and cellist’s hands. Signal-processing software connected to the sensors allowed Ma to create an accompaniment that was based on his own physical cues as he played. On Friday, Machover will play the latest-generation hypercello in his composition “VinylCello,” written for cello and electronics. “This involves using my normal cello,” Machover explains in an email, “but with two wireless sensor bands worn on each arm ( just below the elbow), and audio/visual monitoring from an iPad.” In 50 years, he suggests, hyperinstruments will not just register rhythm, emotion and musical language through physical movement; they “will be able to tell what’s going on in your mind.” Given the range of Machover’s accomplishments so far, that doesn’t seem out of the range of possibility. The program also includes three “HyperEtudes” for piano that he composed using Hyperscore, and an aria from his 2010 opera Death and the Powers, for which he invented a chorus of gliding, LED-lit robotic cubes. As Feurzeig points out, “The piano was once experimental technology. There will always be people out there doing the next thing. [Machover] is the mad scientist.” m COURTESY OF DAVID FEURZEIG

lectronic music was born of experiments with radio equipment after the Second World War. The advent of the synthesizer brought that technology to compositions as diverse as Switched-On Bach and the works of the Beatles. Now every kid with a laptop can use readily available software to achieve things unheard of even 10 years ago. In short, advanced music technology is no longer exotic. What’s interesting today, according to composer-pianist DAVID FEURZEIG, who teaches classes in the University of Vermont’s brand-new music technology major, is the “bleeding edge” of the discipline. Tod Machover has long occupied that edge. The music-tech innovator started teaching 30 years ago in the newly founded MIT Media Lab and never left; he currently heads the lab’s Opera of the Future group. In 2005 and 2008, his students invented the wildly popular video games Guitar Hero and Rock Band. A cellist and composer, Machover (whose name sounds like “Mackover”) continues to push boundaries with inventions such as “hyperinstruments,” robotic operas and Hyperscore — software that allows anyone to compose music with Tod Machover their fingers on a screen.

THE STRAIGHT DOPE BY CECIL ADAMS

Dear Cecil,

Are there really clowns abducting people in North Carolina? Bron

10.12.16-10.19.16

SEVENDAYSVT.COM

hen Georgia cops busted an 11-year-old girl in September for bringing a knife to school, she protested that she needed the blade in case a clown tried to snatch her. Most other years, that excuse might seem farfetched, but in 2016 you can get why the poor kid was spooked. For months police have been wading through report after report of suspicious characters in white face paint, floppy shoes and the like, lurking, peeping and accosting children. OK, now exhale — you won’t likely have to shiv some Bozo anytime soon. Not one evil clown has thus far spirited away his supposed prey; it may yet turn out that most or even all of these circus rejects don’t actually exist. The current panic began this August in South Carolina, with a claim that some clowns were offering money to lure children to a house in the woods, and spread quickly through Alabama, Kentucky, Georgia and North Carolina. Before long, phantom clowns were sighted north of the MasonDixon line in Pennsylvania,

and now it’s the rare state that hasn’t heard some account of clown activity. By press time, one might figure, they may be creeping across the Canadian border. America has suffered such infestations before. Back in 1981, police around the country — Boston, Kansas City, Pittsburgh — started hearing menacing-clown stories from kids, all ultimately unsubstantiated; similar waves crested in ’85 and ’91, with another minioutbreak occurring just two years ago. And we’re hardly the only nation affected: For a full month in 2013, the good people of Northampton, England, tracked the movements of a mysterious clown who turned out to be a local filmmaker; France suffered its own plague of sightings the following year. There is, apparently, nothing illegal about publicly dressing up like a clown, though your outfit might not make you a lot of friends — as the Northampton clown learned, it may even earn you some death threats. In fact, the fear of clowns — coulrophobia, as it’s come to be called — is seemingly so culturally deepseated that some historians

trace it back to the genesis of the modern clown itself. In her straightforwardly titled Smithsonian article “The History and Psychology of Clowns Being Scary,” Linda Rodriguez McRobbie notes that two 19th-century performers who established the contemporary clown’s costume de rigueur were uncomfortably dark fellows. Joseph Grimaldi, a pioneer in the use of whiteface, was an alcoholic whose torments became infamous after Charles Dickens edited his memoirs into a best seller. And Pierrot, the French melancholy-clown archetype, was in large part the creation of JeanGaspard Deburau, who once walloped an urchin to death with his cane. Deburau was acquitted in court, bringing to mind a quote from one of America’s most notorious killers: “Clowns can get away with murder.” Thus spake ’70s serial killer (you knew we’d get here eventually) John Wayne Gacy to police investigators. Gacy, who entertained at kids’ events in full clown regalia, supplied crucial DNA for what’s now our stock image of the demented, murderous

clown. This was already in place for Stephen King to riff off in his 1986 novel It, and already a cliché by the time rap-rock goofballs Insane Clown Posse won their cult following. So, yes, clowns creep people out. That still doesn’t explain why they were more ubiquitous than Pokemon this past summer. Some suspected a marketing campaign for 31, a new creepy-clown flick from shock-rocker-turned-horrorauteur Rob Zombie — after all, a clown roaming Green Bay, Wis., this year turned out to be an indie filmmaker’s promo stunt. But the movie’s distributor denied any connection. If only there was some simpler explanation. Maybe something like ... people are big fat liars? Sure enough: A North Carolina man has already admitted that no, a clown hadn’t actually come a-rapping on his window one night, as he’d initially told police, and the inability of cops in other jurisdictions to scrape up even a trace of clown evidence suggests he’s not the only fibber. But the alleged sightings have apparently given people ideas: A crew of

Alabama teens was arrested last month for impersonating clowns on Instagram and threatening to unleash violent mayhem on their school, and similar stunts have proliferated in recent weeks. What we seem to have here is a long-standing phenomenon given new oomph by social media. Every prank or hoax now hovers just a few gullible clicks from virality, with untold potential dupes and copycats alike waiting to pass it along. The credulous have been primed to believe themselves at constant risk from the most distant or mythical threats (terrorists being the old standby, but remember the “knockout game”?); trolls can smell this fear and pounce accordingly. Really, though: Who’d don clown garb to steal a child anyway? Not to offer tips on abduction technique, but when your ends are nefarious, I’d figure conspicuously bright colors are a must to avoid. And kids are scared as hell of clowns. May as well try to lure a tot into your windowless Econoline with promises of broccoli and extra homework.

hen reader Karl Riemer of Underhill emailed recently to ask, “Who dug the Dugway between Otter Creek and Fields Bay, when and why?” my initial response was “WTF is the Dugway?” I’ve been to Otter Creek, but I’ve never explored the seven-mile stretch of river that runs between Vergennes and Lake Champlain. There, according to locals familiar with the area, one can find a crooked, apparently artificial channel that — when lake levels are high enough — serves as a shortcut to the lake. “Today it’s plainly visible and intriguing,” Riemer writes, “but no one seems to know its history.” That’s not to say there haven’t been plenty of theories about the Dugway, including some that found their way into official state documents. A road in Vergennes is even named after it — Dugway Lane. Yet answers about its origins remain frustratingly elusive. First, some history to set the stage: Vermonters may know modern-day Vergennes as the state’s oldest and least populous city, as well as the home of the Basin Harbor Club, the Kennedy Brothers building and Route 7’s most reliable speed trap (damn you, 25 mph speed limit signs!). During the 18th and 19th centuries, however, Vergennes was an industrial powerhouse that produced and transported timber, potash, iron, warships and various agricultural products. Driving Vergennes’ industrial engine at the time was Otter Creek, Vermont’s longest river, whose length the Encyclopaedia Britannica puts at “about 100 miles.” Because the creek is navigable below the falls in Vergennes, the city played a decisive role in the War of 1812. It’s from that conflict that one story — or myth, depending on your point of view — of the Dugway’s origins arose. Do a quick Google search on “Otter Creek” and “Dugway,” and you’re bound to come across references to “Macdonough’s Dugway.” Commodore Thomas Macdonough Jr. (17831825) was a U.S. naval officer who, in September 1814, defeated the British at the Battle of Plattsburgh. It was considered a turning point in the war. Six months earlier, in March 1814, Macdonough had received orders from the U.S. government to start building a new fleet in Vergennes. According to Proceedings of the Vermont Historical Society: 1913-14, on May 14, Macdonough

“came down the river with a new sloop of war and several galleys”; within 90 minutes, he forced the British to retreat. That naval battle wasn’t exactly a bloodbath. The Americans suffered no casualties, and the Brits lost just one seaman and a couple of rowboats. Here’s where the historical record gets fuzzy. According to several secondary sources, Macdonough’s men allegedly dug the Dugway — in a single night — as a way to sneak their gunships into Lake Champlain and then flank the British vessels that had blockaded the mouth of Otter Creek. A November 1, 2012, story in the Akwesasne newspaper Indian Time, titled “Tobacco Burning at Otter Creek,” claims it was the Onkwehonweh, or “original people,” living along Otter Creek who dug the channel for Macdonough’s fleet. Other sources, including one referenced on the Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department website, suggest that the dugway, or “dugout,” was created during the Revolutionary War — again, as a means of outmaneuvering British warships. Obviously, these stories have been kicking around for a while. Bob Mitchell, 83, of Ferrisburgh is a lifelong Addison

County resident and a self-described history buff. Having grown up near Otter Creek, he’s heard those same stories of the Dugway’s origins since he was a kid — and even offers directions to the artificial channel, which sound like something out of a 19th-century land deed. “At the 6.5-mile mark,” he says, “look for two dead trees standing like sentinels at the far bank. In front of you, the Dugway will be on your left.” But Riemer skewers all these Dugwayorigin legends. He argues that the Revolutionary War boat works were at Skenesborough (now Whitehall, N.Y.), not Vergennes. Moreover, during the War of 1812, the Vergennes shipyard was protected by Fort Cassin, so ships required no back channel to escape Otter Creek. Riemer also pooh-poohs hypotheses that the Dugway was a defensive moat against overland assault, or a natural anomaly. Both ideas, he says, are “patently absurd.” In a 2011 book on the history of the area, titled Some Field Family Journeys: Selected Descendants of Roger Del Feld, Warren James Field floats the theory that the Dugway was created by Revolutionary War veteran Platt Rogers, who’d settled in Ferrisburgh and owned property stretching from the mouth

of the river to Basin Harbor. Field suggests that Rogers created the dugway “to shorten the route for the inhabitants south of the river whither they came by boat from as far south as Chimney Point for the grinding of grain.” If that’s the case, their boats must have been built for very shallow water. Erick Tichonuk, deputy director of the Lake Champlain Maritime Museum, points out that, even when the Dugway is underwater, it’s only two or three feet deep. For this and other reasons, Tichonuk concludes that the shortcut likely had nothing to do with Macdonough or his skirmishes. “To date, we have found absolutely zero historical documentation in primary sources to support this claim,” he says. “It’s a great story, but it’s probably bull.” So who dug the Dugway? Alas, its true builders seem to be lost in the murky depths of the past. That’s probably of little concern to the few kayakers and fishermen who can still navigate its waters — that is, when it’s not high and dry. Contact: ken@sevendaysvt.com

After decades in office,

the dean of the United States Senate wasn’t saying whether he would seek another term. But an ambitious Vermont politician wouldn’t wait to find out. On a January 1974 trip to Brattleboro, the 33-year-old Chittenden County state’s attorney, Patrick Leahy, told southern Vermont Democrats that he would seek the office “no matter who else runs.” “I want to be Vermont’s next United States senator,” he said. The next month, on Valentine’s Day, the dean made up his mind. George Aiken, who had served in public office since 1931 and in the U.S. Senate since 1941, told reporters in Washington, D.C., that he would return to Putney when his term expired. Back home, the speaker of the Vermont House, Walter Kennedy, fretted that Aiken’s

journalist who documented Leahy’s rise in his book, Dateline: Vermont. Graff notes that Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) is 75 and Congressman Peter Welch (D-Vt.) is 69. “If, over a six- or eight-year period, we had an entirely freshman congressional delegation, that would be a huge hit for Vermont.”

As Kennedy put it four decades ago, the state would return to “the bottom of the barrel.” It’s not just the pork. Leahy’s influence and diverse interests have put a Vermont stamp on such issues as organic food standards, the elimination of land mines and the composition of the U.S. Supreme Court. In April 1975, he cast a deciding vote to cut off funding for the Vietnam War, and in December 2014 he flew to Cuba to bring home imprisoned aid worker Alan Gross — a key step toward normalizing relations with the island nation.

You get elected in Vermont, and you have to basically commit murder to get unelected.

“This good and noble man is one of the best,” says Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.), the civil rights icon, with whom Leahy has worked to restore the Voting Rights Act. “No one today in America is a stronger champion for voters’ rights for all of our citizens.” Throughout his campaign, Milne has tried to turn Leahy’s lifetime of public service against him. The senator, he says, has become a creature of Washington, out of touch with Vermont. Leahy bought a house in McLean, Va., in 1978 — now valued at $1.2 million — and continues to live there most of the year. Though he speaks frequently about his “farm” in Middlesex, Vt., that town’s grand list indicates that his mailing address is a post office box in McLean. According to records provided by his Senate office, Leahy has spent between 83 and 121 days a year in Vermont in the past six years. In that same period, the Senate has been in session between 125 and 162 days. Milne appears to stand little chance of winning, and Leahy’s campaign has studiously — masterfully, even — avoided engaging him. But the senator himself seems rattled by his opponent’s attacks, perhaps because he has not faced a competitive race since 1992. “I am surprised that he is wanting to run basically completely a negative campaign,” Leahy said last week. “I’ve yet to hear what he stands for, other than he’s not me. Well, no. He’s not. He’s got more hair!” Asked what he would tell the Patrick Leahy of 1974 — the one who thought it necessary to bring new blood to the Senate — present-day Leahy considered the question. “I’d say, ‘You know what? I’m impressed that you’ve been picked as one of three outstanding prosecutors in

departure would leave the state’s influence in Congress “at the bottom of the barrel.” “I don’t like it at all,” Kennedy said. Leahy promised to make up for what he lacked in seniority with youthful vigor and idealism. At his campaign kickoff that March, the Montpelier native vowed to reverse the “frustration and disillusionment” many felt in government as the Watergate scandal brought the Nixon administration to its knees. “It is time now to bring a fresh, new approach and leadership to government,” Leahy told some 200 supporters. Forty-two years later, as he pursues his eighth term in office, Leahy’s message to voters could not be more different. Now the dean of the Senate himself, the 76-year-old argues that what Vermont needs most is not a “fresh, new approach” but a steady hand at the wheel, versed in the ways of Washington and able to deliver outsize federal funding for his undersized state. “Politics is sometimes nothing but irony,” says Steve Terry, a retired Green Mountain Power executive who worked for Aiken during his final term. “This is a case in point.” The irony is not lost on Scott Milne, a 57-year-old travel agency president who has mounted a long-shot campaign to topple the veteran senator. The Pomfret Republican, who nearly defeated Democratic Gov. Peter Shumlin in 2014, has been unsparing in his criticism, referring to his opponent as corrupt, ineffectual, imperial and hyper-partisan. “Patrick Leahy is the poster child of what is wrong with this system,” Milne says. Whether or not that’s the case, few politicians have spent more time enmeshed in the system than Leahy. Next month, according to Senate records, he will overtake the late senator Carl Hayden as the institution’s fifth-longest-serving member. If he wins reelection this November and completes an eighth term, the then82-year-old lawmaker will trail only the late senators Daniel Inouye and Robert Byrd in the history books. “I’ll be younger than my predecessor was when he left,” Leahy said in an interview last week in his Burlington office, referring to the octogenarian Aiken. Leahy’s longevity in a chamber that values seniority “has meant hundreds of millions of dollars of federal investments in Vermont in his current term,” says his Senate spokesman, David Carle. It’s the theme of his reelection campaign — expressed in television ads about securing Tropical Storm Irene aid and in federal funding announcements unsubtly timed for the campaign season. But the state’s reliance on Leahy largesse makes some Vermonters nervous — particularly as the senator shows clear signs of aging, from his slowed gait to his sometimes-slurred speech. When it comes to the state’s bottom line, he has become almost too big to fail. “My fear is that all three members of our congressional delegation are nearing possible retirement,” says National Life vice president Chris Graff, a former

After Sanders won 86 percent of the vote in his home state’s presidential primary, more than 5,000 people signed an online petition saying they were “disappointed” that Leahy and three other Vermont superdelegates still planned to back Clinton at the convention. Emma Mulvaney-Stanak, chair of the Vermont Progressive Party, says she was disappointed by Leahy’s decision. But she nevertheless calls herself a fan of the senior senator, hailing his work fighting for civil liberties and privacy rights. “He’s no Bernie,” says MulvaneyStanak, who, like many Vermont politicos, interned for Leahy in college. “But on the federal level, he is almost as progressive as it gets.” Bill Lofy, a Democratic operative who served as Shumlin’s chief of staff, agrees. Lofy got his start working for the late

NO ‘BRO’

On a humid July night in Philadelphia, Leahy took in the Democratic National Convention from the bleacher seats of the Wells Fargo Center. Seated to his right was CBS reporter Gayle King, who was eager to interview him about his junior colleague, Sanders, one of that night’s prime-time speakers. Since Robert Stafford retired from the Senate in 1989, Leahy had relished his role as the top dog in Vermont’s congressional delegation. But, over the previous year, Sanders’ unlikely presidential campaign had caught fire and turned him into political powerhouse. Leahy’s own star had fallen: When Democrats lost power in the 2014 midterms, he lost his chairmanship of the Senate Judiciary Committee and his ceremonial position as president pro tempore — not to mention the security detail that came with it. He was now playing second fiddle to his Brooklynborn colleague. As Sanders finished his address, Leahy stood to photograph the man he’d served beside and tussled with for 25 years. “We’ve heard a lot of it before,” he said of the speech, which featured themes Sanders has been raising since 1974, when he ran on the Liberty Union ticket for the same U.S. Senate seat as Leahy. Following Aiken’s retirement that year, Leahy had gone on to defeat Republican congressman Richard Mallary by a mere 4,406 votes. Sanders won just 5,901 votes, but he could have cost Leahy the election. Over the years, Leahy has occasionally infuriated his liberal base, but never as much as when he endorsed Hillary Clinton for president over his fellow Vermonter.

America, and you’ve always shown your commitment to things,’” he began. For the next four minutes, Leahy rattled off everything he’d accomplished by the time he challenged Aiken — even the most minor successes, such as appearing in a public service announcement about drunk driving. It seemed for a second as if he had gotten lost in his answer, but soon his point became clear: Unlike Milne, he was arguing, he had assembled a record to run on — even at age 33. “So I’d say, ‘Show you’ve done something,” Leahy concluded. “Don’t just go and say, ‘Oh, I’ll run. I’ve got a whole lot of money. I’m kind of interested in running.’ Show you’ve done something.”

military contractors, such as General Dynamics and Lockheed Martin. Two personal injury firms — the Law Offices of Peter Angelos and Girardi | Keese — have donated a collective $248,000. All have business before the Senate Judiciary or Appropriations committees, on which Leahy serves. While the senator maintains that the cash is necessary in a post-Citizens United world, he had relied on the same fundraising practices for decades before the Supreme Court handed down that decision in 2010. It’s what motivated former Republican governor Jim Douglas to challenge Leahy back in 1992, Douglas claims. “I felt strongly that since 96 percent of his campaign funds came from out of state, there was a valid question about who he was representing,” Douglas says.

Minnesota senator Paul Wellstone and remembers Leahy taking the leftie legislator under his wing in the early 1990s. “I think Sen. Leahy will go down as one of the great progressive icons of the past 50 years,” Lofy says, comparing the Vermonter to Wellstone and Hubert Humphrey. At odds with that assessment is Leahy’s reliance upon corporate campaign cash to sustain his sprawling political organization. Over the past six years, he has raised more than $1.3 million from political action committees — many representing the nation’s most powerful industries. His top donors have included entertainment companies, such as Time Warner and Walt Disney; tech behemoths, such as Microsoft and Google; telecoms, such as Comcast and Dish Network; and

“And I gather the numbers are still similar today.” In July, Milne challenged Leahy to what he called a “clean campaign pledge.” It would require the candidates to refuse and return PAC money — and to limit spending to $250,000. If outside groups poured money into the race, a candidate would be entitled to spend two dollars for every one dollar targeting him. “I mean, it’s a fun thought,” Leahy mused in an interview that month at the Philadelphia convention, dismissing Milne’s proposal as unrealistic. Sitting in a stairwell in the Wells Fargo Center to escape the noise of the convention hall, he defended his decision to take money from PACs. “I don’t know anybody who hasn’t in Vermont,” he said.

Reminded that his junior colleague had refused corporate cash — and raised more than nearly any candidate in history — Leahy pushed back. “Well, there are a lot of PACs I wouldn’t take, and they probably wouldn’t give me,” he said. “But no. As long as I report it — these are people. A lot of them I’ve gotten to know. I appreciate their support.”

NO LONGER 35

Early last month, Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Julián Castro became the latest cabinet member summoned to Vermont for Leahy’s election-year show of power. During a roundtable discussion at Burlington City Hall, Castro listened patiently as housing officials and activists promoted their programs and sought his assistance. Seated by Castro’s side, Leahy looked thrilled. Near the end of the event, Cathedral Square CEO Kim Fitzgerald pressed Castro for several minutes on the importance of the Support and Services at Home program — called SASH — which coordinates care for Medicare recipients. She repeatedly mentioned SASH’s name, drawing praise from Castro, who hailed it as innovative. “Could I interject, too?” Leahy asked a few minutes later. “We have a program called SASH. It began at Cathedral Square.” He looked down at the folder in front of him. “I think about 5,000 people are involved with it now,” the senior senator continued. “It’s an at-home health delivery service. I’m very proud of that.” Audience members glanced at one another with nervous expressions. Had Leahy somehow missed the entire conversation about SASH? After making his point about the program, he asked if there was time for one more question. A staffer jumped up to say there was not. It was time for the next event. “Sorry,” Leahy said sheepishly. “What we’re going to do is go down to the, uh, uh—” He looked down at his folder again, evidently unsure where he was going next. “I’m not going to give any kind of concluding remarks,” Leahy continued, though the words that came out of his mouth sounded more like, “I’m not guhn-gih-ehn-ki-clude-marhk.” Champlain Housing Trust CEO Brenda Torpy, who was seated to Leahy’s

left, whispered insistently, “Bright Street. Bright Street. Bright Street.” “We’re gonna go down to Bright Street,” he said to Castro, referring to a new cooperative housing development. “I want you to see that.” Whether Leahy’s health is on the decline is a matter of considerable speculation among Vermont politicians, operatives, lobbyists and reporters. His staff has insisted for years that he simply suffers from chronic laryngitis, which contributes to his gravely voice. But occasionally the issue seems deeper, such as when he confused Hurricane Katrina for Tropical Storm Irene in remarks during at least two public events. Leahy’s health is not an academic question. If there were a vacancy during his term, the next governor would appoint a successor until a special election

could be held. That next governor could be a Republican — and the Senate could be evenly split. Milne has been careful about explicitly calling Leahy too old for the job, but he has suggested that might be the case. “I worked at my business with my mom every day until she died at 79,” Milne says. “She wasn’t too old. I know that. But she wasn’t a U.S. senator asking for a six-year employment contract, either.” Leahy’s allies are quick to bat down any discussion of decline. “I’ve heard the stories, and I make a point of seeking him out from time to time, and his mental acuity is — how should I say it — markedly unaffected,” says Vermont Secretary of Agriculture Chuck Ross, who spent 16

years working for Leahy. “Now, he’s 76. Does he have the same energy level as 55? No … But in terms of being able to do what he needs to do and intellectually understand what he’s being asked to do, I don’t see anything that suggests that his ability to do that job is compromised.” If Leahy were to leave office, the ramifications for his roughly fivedozen staffers — not to mention the state of Vermont — would be enormous. The situation calls to mind the final years of Leahy’s favorite band, the Grateful Dead, during which organizational and financial pressures kept guitarist Jerry Garcia on the road past his prime. Lofy, the Democratic operative and a Dead aficionado himself, rejects the comparison. “I think the evidence just doesn’t support that,” he says. “I saw a lot of Grateful Dead shows in the early ’90s, and I actually loved every one of them — and I thought Jerry was playing pretty well,” he says. Switching from Garcia to Leahy, he adds, “I think that he is just as effective now as he ever has been.” The senator himself appeared eager during last week’s interview to put the oft-whispered health questions to rest. Asked if he was fit to serve another six years, Leahy answered as soon as the word “serve” was spoken. “Oh, yeah,” he interrupted, as if he had been waiting for the question. “Yeah.” Just two months earlier, he said, he and his wife, Marcelle, had been scuba diving at a tropical destination with seven-foot sharks and massive sea turtles. “We were swimming around that, and I said, ‘It’s hell to get old!’” he recalled with a mischievous smile. “I certainly didn’t feel like I was slowing down … When I’m snowshoeing around our farm, I don’t feel like I’m slowing down.” So, no concerns at all? “No. If I did, I would—” Leahy began, shifting his gaze to Marcelle, his almost-constant companion, who sat on a nearby couch. “Actually, the one concern we had on health — Marcelle’s a cancer survivor … If she had not had a totally clean bill of health, I would not have run again. So—” He paused. “Thank goodness you do,” he said to her. “Yeah,” Marcelle said softly. “We’re not 35 years old anymore.”

Within moments of his arrival two weeks ago at the Barre Opera House, the senator and Marcelle were holding court with a small group of local notables. Leahy had noticed Capstone Community Action executive director Dan Hoxworth wearing a Jerry Garcia tie, prompting the retelling of one of his favorite yarns — about introducing the Dead to the late South Carolina senator Strom Thurmond in the Senate dining room. Leahy had come to Barre to hand out $1.3 million in federal funding to 19 nonprofits and municipalities. The money came from a competitive U.S. Department of Agriculture grant program, but USDA Rural Development Vermont and New Hampshire state director Ted Brady wanted Marcelle and Sen. Patrick to ensure that Leahy Leahy last month in Barre got the credit. “I like to call him the father or the godfather of the Rural Economic Area Partnership Zone,” Brady said as he introduced Leahy to a crowd of 45 grant awardees. “He created the program back in 2000.

the president wanted to make sure Pat Leahy’s views were known.” Like Brady and Pagano, Leahy alums are scattered about Vermont and the federal bureaucracy. They are judges, ambassadors, mayors and college presidents. The connections enhance the senator’s influence. During Bill Clinton’s presidency, Pagano says, former Leahy staffer John Podesta was a key conduit to the White House, where he served as chief of staff. Now he’s a conduit to Hillary Clinton’s campaign, on which Podesta serves as chair. The ex-staffers benefit even more from their connection to Leahy. Many, such as Pagano and former chief of staff Luke Albee, have gone on to lucrative careers in the lobbying world, where their knowledge of the Senate is an invaluable asset to their corporate clients. Leahy’s own daughter, Alicia Leahy Jackson, has done the same. Since February 2015,

Hours before federal agents raided Jay Peak last April to investigate what they called a $200 million fraud scheme, Leahy delivered a speech on the Senate floor distancing himself from the program he had long championed. EB-5 needed “a blood transfusion, not a BandAid,” he told his colleagues. Within days, he had donated to charity $5,800 his campaign had received over the years from one of the accused fraudsters: his friend, Jay Peak president Bill Stenger, and the developer’s wife. Two weeks after the Northeast Kingdom bust, Virkstis, who declined to comment for this story, donated $300 to the senator’s campaign. Back at the Barre Opera House, Leahy stood beside Brady and Welch and handed out certificates to each of the grant recipients. They came to the podium, one by one, to pose for photos with their benefactors. Though the

office?

10.12.16-10.19.16

Last Tuesday afternoon, Leahy and Marcelle ate lunch with a handful of Middlebury College students in the basement dining area of Carol’s Hungry Mind Café. It was a campaign event, of sorts, though of the heavily scripted variety. One by one, the senator asked the students their majors and career goals, dispensing tidbits of advice, such as: Grades are important if you want to work for the State Department. At least four twentysomething campaign staffers and state director John Tracy hovered around the room’s perimeter. Though the election was five weeks away and the Senate had adjourned for the fall, Leahy had been virtually invisible on the campaign trail since conducting a 14-county kickoff tour in August. This was clearly by design: to starve Milne of the oxygen he’d need to mount a serious campaign — and to keep Leahy away from free-for-all media scrums. After nearly two weeks of repeated requests, the campaign finally agreed to make him available to Seven Days. “It’s a daunting task to run against Sen. Leahy,” says Len Britton, the 2010 Republican nominee, who lost to the incumbent 31 to 64 percent. Mulvaney-Stanak puts it in more colorful terms: “You get elected in Vermont, and you have to basically commit murder to get unelected.”

event had been staged by Leahy’s Senate office and staffed by three of his government employees, campaign spokesman Jay Tilton was there, too, taking photographs. In remarks to the group, Barre mayor Thom Lauzon said he appreciated the federal funding — particularly the $23,500 that would support a capital campaign for his local opera house. “Congressman, senator, it is always a thrill to have you here, because every time you’re here, our wallets seem to get a little fatter,” Lauzon said. “So, hey, thanks for that.” Since Congress banned earmarks in 2011, it has become difficult to discern how much money members really bring home to their districts. Milne questions whether Vermont does better than any other small state, but Leahy’s office is adamant that it does. Carle, the Senate spokesman, maintains that his boss has secured $171 million in funding for Lake Champlain over the course of his career. He says that

Leahy was instrumental in increasing FEMA reimbursement rates after Irene, bringing an additional $30 million to Vermont. And he notes that small-state minimum formulas have brought millions more for opiate abuse treatment and domestic abuse prevention. “Have they gotten the money?!” Leahy demanded of his detractors during last week’s interview. “And have they written the program?!” Outside the Barre Opera House, Lauzon mentioned that he had known Leahy since the senator had helped his future brother-in-law obtain a visa decades earlier. But as a Republican and friend of Milne’s, the mayor said he felt conflicted about who to support in the approaching election. “I’ve obviously had conversations with both of them. I’ve really gotta make up my mind, in terms of who I’m supporting,” he said. “I mean, Pat Leahy has been a great friend. He’s been an absolutely great friend to Barre. I am a Republican, but, first and foremost, I’m the mayor of Barre.”

In his 42 years in office, Sen. Patrick Leahy has employed countless staffers. Many have gone on to prominent careers in Vermont and Washington, D.C. Here are some of their stories:

ELLEN MCCULLOCH LOVELL A former Leahy chief of staff, McCulloch Lovell later served as deputy chief of staff to then-first lady Hillary Clinton. She retired in 2015 after 11 years as president of Marlboro College.

CHUCK ROSS The former state legislator spent 16 years running Leahy’s Vermont office before Gov. Peter Shumlin named him secretary of agriculture in 2011.

ED PAGANO A former senior counsel to the Senate Judiciary Committee and Leahy chief of staff, Pagano decamped to the White House in 2012 to serve as President Barack Obama’s legislative liaison to the Senate. He now lobbies for Akin Gump.

MARY BETH CAHILL In 1986, Cahill managed Leahy’s victorious campaign over former and future governor Richard Snelling. She later ran EMILY’s List, served as chief of staff to senator Ted Kennedy and managed John Kerry’s 2004 presidential campaign.

MARK LIPPERT A former Leahy foreign policy adviser, Lippert later served as chief of staff to former defense secretary Chuck Hagel and as an assistant secretary of defense. He is now the U.S. ambassador to South Korea.

LUKE ALBEE The former Leahy chief of staff subsequently worked as a lobbyist and chief of staff to Sen. Mark Warner. He now serves as a senior adviser to Engage Cuba, a business coalition working to open markets in that country.

MIRO WEINBERGER During his time at Yale University, the future mayor of Burlington interned for Leahy in his Washington, D.C., office.

BERYL HOWELL Howell spent a decade working for Leahy on the Senate Judiciary Committee staff. In 2010, Obama appointed her to the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, where she now serves as chief judge.

JOHN PODESTA After working for Leahy through much of the 1980s, Podesta served in various positions in former president Bill Clinton’s White House — including as his final chief of staff. Podesta founded the liberal think tank Center for American Progress and now chairs Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign.

PAUL BRUHN In 1974, Bruhn left his job in the Chittenden County state’s attorney’s office to manage his boss’ first U.S. Senate campaign. After serving as Leahy’s first chief of staff, Bruhn returned to Vermont in 1978 and became executive director of the Preservation Trust of Vermont. He remains in that role to this day.

42 Years a Senator « P.35 By now, Leahy has reelection campaigns down to a science: Raise a ton of money ($4 million so far this six-year cycle), spend a chunk of it on TV ads, ignore your opponent and avoid debates. This fall, he’s agreed to just three forums — and has refused to take part in any commercial television, radio or print debates. “He’s not a good debater,” says Douglas, the former governor and 1992 nominee. After the Leahys finished their lunch in Middlebury and more students filed into the café, Tilton, the campaign spokesman, set about recording a Facebook Live video to share on social media. The senator would sit with three students and answer prescreened questions on foreign policy. “We wanted to start off talking about Cuba,” began one of the students, Hannah Patterson of North Bennington. “My question specifically relates to how you would respond to someone who would say that this neutralization of relations would have negative effects on Cuban culture and their way of life.” “I think there will be some changes in Cuban life. I hope they will be for the better,” Leahy began. Tilton held up his iPhone to broadcast the session. Another campaign staffer snapped photos. A dozen or so Middlebury students fiddled with their smartphones, attempting to share the stream on Facebook. This was campaigning in 2016. In recent weeks, Leahy’s operation has attacked Milne for his inability or

unwillingness to articulate a single policy proposal that does not have to do with the incumbent. In one recent press release, Tilton accused the GOP nominee of running “a 100 percent negative and issue-free campaign.” Milne doesn’t dispute the charge. “You can ask me any question you want, but if Leahy’s so concerned about issues, why doesn’t he show up for debates?” he says. “My strategy is to talk about why we need to replace Pat Leahy.” Because the incumbent has run such a low-profile race, it’s not always clear why he thinks he should be returned to public office. Asked last week to name his greatest accomplishments of the past six years, Leahy instead mentioned that, decades ago, he had insisted that the Senate Committee on Agriculture and Forestry be renamed to include the word “nutrition.” “I got people like Bob Dole to join — a conservative Republican — on nutrition things,” he said, referring to the Kansas senator, who retired in 1996. “And I’ve kept that going. I’ve kept it going through these past six years.” He mentioned the 1989 establishment of the Leahy War Victims Fund and the 2009 appointment of Sonia Sotomayor to the Supreme Court, a confirmation fight that took place during his previous term. And what did the senator hope to accomplish in the next six years? “So much,” he said without hesitation. Though the Senate passed an immigration reform bill in April 2013, the House had refused to bring it up for a vote. Leahy expressed confidence that that would change in the next Congress.

“I’ve been having quiet discussions with both key Republicans and key Democrats,” he said. “I think we can get support in the House.” Norm Ornstein, a congressional scholar at the pro-business think tank American Enterprise Institute, says he’s “not surprised” that a home-state Republican would launch a “populist, anti-Washington” attack on Leahy. But he says such a move would mischaracterize what Leahy brings to the Senate. “It’s easy to attack experience and to attack Washington, but it’s also a major asset. When you’re around for a long time, you see things. You have a sense of history,” he says. “I would say flatly there is nobody in the Senate who is more admired by his colleagues than Leahy.” Preservation Trust of Vermont executive director Paul Bruhn, who managed Leahy’s 1974 campaign, says he thinks Vermont would benefit from another six years represented by his old friend. “He’s built an amazing record, on all fronts — in Vermont, nationally and internationally,” he says. “And I’m very proud of him. And I think most Vermonters are.” But Bruhn says he suspects this might be the last term for Leahy. “I haven’t had that conversation with him, but I would guess that that would be the case,” he says. “That he might feel that he’s done his duty.” Leahy himself says he’s focused on winning this election — not deciding whether to run in the next one: “Don’t you think that would be the most presumptuous thing in the world?” m

or 30 years, Gordon Clements has manufactured and sold window shades, curtains and blinds out of a Williston business he founded in his basement: Gordon’s Window Décor. Three years ago, he came out of retirement to develop a new window treatment unlike any he’d made before. When asked why, he chokes up before answering. A decade ago, Clements’ close friend was killed in a school shooting. (He won’t identify the victim or the school, at the request of her family.) A mental image of his friend trying to hide as the gunman roamed from classroom to classroom seared itself in his mind. “That’s always haunted me. It’s something I just couldn’t let go,” Clements says. “Finally, I felt like I had to do something about this [problem of school shootings], rather than just being upset about it.” After consulting extensively with school architects, public safety experts, local law enforcement and educators, Clements, 70, returned to his former occupation and devised a plan. Since then, he’s devoted much of his free time, and a sizable portion of his retirement savings, to building a system that helps protect schools from an active shooter. The result: SecurShade, a patented window covering that automatically shields students and staff from view with the touch of a button. During a school lockdown or “clear the halls” scenario, security protocols typically direct staff to lock the doors, turn off the lights, close the shades, seek cover and stay away from windows. With SecurShade, one teacher or office worker can hit a remote control and instantly drop all the shades in the building simultaneously. Others no longer need to do the job manually, potentially putting themselves in harm’s way. The shades are made of specially designed fabric that lets people in the building see out but blocks outsiders from seeing in. They’re part of an electronic system that automatically alerts police to an intruder in the building and can even pinpoint that intruder’s location, based on which remotes are deployed when. Last spring, Clements installed and tested the product in a few classrooms at two local elementary schools: Allen Brook School in Williston and Summit Street School in Essex Junction. He’s now seeking investors through Burlington-based crowdsourcing company Venture.co to fix software bugs and scale up production. Since testing wrapped up several

months ago, SecurShade has garnered endorsements from local police and current and former school administrators. “I thought it was a great idea,” says Armando Vilaseca, the former Vermont secretary of education, who now advises Clements. He says SecurShade adds “one more level of peace of mind” that districts are doing all they can to mitigate risk to students and staff. Mike Schirling, the former Burlington police chief who spent nearly 30 years in law enforcement, calls SecurShade “a pretty compelling product … It’s simple, intuitive to use and could really have an impact.” Public anxieties about school gun violence remain high in Vermont, which hasn’t been immune to such tragedies. August 24 marked the 10-year anniversary of the Essex Elementary School shooting, which claimed the lives of two people and injured three others. In the post-Columbine era, activeshooter incidents at schools and on college campuses have come to feel like everyday occurrences. Everytown for Gun Safety, a pro-gun-control group, reports that at

least 197 school shootings have taken place since 2013 — an average of nearly one per week. At least 10 have occurred so far in 2016, including one in Townville, S.C. — on the day after Seven Days spoke with Clements — that left two people dead and two injured. Technological defenses against gun violence have obvious appeal, but how feasible are they at a time when school budgets everywhere are tight? Clements can’t say exactly how much SecurShades will cost once they’re in mass production but says he doesn’t expect the price to exceed that of conventional shades by much, especially if a school was already planning to replace them. “When I tell [administrators] that this is going to cost an additional 50 bucks a window, they say, ‘That’s not even worth talking about,’” says Clements, who’s already fielded interest in SecurShade from districts as far away as San Diego. “Some of these schools are spending $50,000 just to control bullying on social media.” Still, how many schools will invest in a new security measure addressing one specific threat that, even SecurShade’s

supporters admit, is highly unlikely to occur? Robert Evans is manager of organizational assessment and K-12 services at Margolis Healy, a Burlington consulting firm that specializes in campus safety and school security. Evans, who spent 23 years with the Vermont State Police, is now contracted with the Vermont Agency of Education and the Department of Public Safety to help schools improve their emergency preparedness. He assists them in developing state-mandated emergencyresponse plans, conducting threat assessments and training exercises and choosing new security devices. Evans says it would be inappropriate for him to comment directly on SecurShade or any other product. Speaking generally, however, he calls active shooters “highimpact, low-probability events.” In other words, the public is acutely aware of school shootings and justifiably concerned about them, in part because those tragedies always make the news. Still, Evans notes, that emotional response alone shouldn’t drive schools’ security purchases. “The decision to deploy any

UNIVERSITY OF VERMONT PREGNANCY STUDY countermeasure technology should be combined with a comprehensive risk assessment,” he says. That means the probability of a shooting occurring in any given school should be weighed against other threats, such as severe weather, school bus accidents and parental interference in child-custody disputes. Evans always advises school administrators to determine which new measures will give them the biggest bang for their buck, he says. Often that means starting with the basics, such as implementing a new visitor-management system or traffic-calming measures in the school parking lot. Another priority is investing in two-way radios and outdoor PA systems that can alert students on playgrounds and ball fields to potential threats. Sometimes,

Researchers at the Vermont Center on Behavior and Health are looking for women who are currently pregnant to participate in a study on health behaviors and infant birth outcomes. This study involves:

In short, Abramsky concludes in his report, school shootings can spur communities to action even as they neglect to consider statistically more probable threats. “By several orders of magnitude, far more kids die each year in car crashes or drowning accidents — or from asthma,” he writes. “And far more young lives are lost to a host of other diseases closely correlated with poverty.” Even in the deadliest years for gun violence, the odds of a child or adult being shot at school are one in a million. To many people, however, one-in-amillion odds are still too high, especially when you’re talking about children. And, SecurShade supporters note, the device offers other benefits.

natural light to filter into classrooms without excessively heating them. During the recent spate of “scary clown” incidents, he adds, being able to deploy shades at the touch of a button could have minimized the impact of such external disruptions. At Allen Brook, currently the only school in the country where SecurShades are being deployed — they’re in two classrooms and not yet connected to emergency services — principal John Terko says the product has been well received by students and staff. “When you lock a building down, you want everything to be invisible,” says Terko, who has 350 students and a staff of more than 60 to protect. “At least it buys you time, and that’s what you want — time to get your kids or employees out of harm’s way.

Evans adds, just adopting new policies and procedures goes a long way toward improving overall school safety at little or no cost. SecurShade is only the latest product to hit the market in a burgeoning school safety industry that’s grown from $768 million in sales in 2014 to an estimated $907 million this year. As Sasha Abramsky notes in his August 9 story in the Nation, “The School-Security Industry Is Cashing In Big on Public Fears of Mass Shootings,” some of these new products have real value, while others are questionable. Consider the $1,420 Bodyguard Blanket, which hit the market after the Sandy Hook shootings of 2012 and the deadly tornado that killed seven schoolchildren in Moore, Okla., in 2013. The Kevlar-like coverall is supposed to shield children from everything from gunfire to storm debris. But critics point out that it only protects one side of the user’s body — and wouldn’t have helped the students killed in that tornado, most of whom suffocated or drowned when the school building collapsed. Other technological fixes meant to make schools safer may actually do more harm that good. Following the Sandy Hook massacre, several companies began selling classroom barricade devices meant to prevent an intruder from forcing open a classroom door. Critics contend, however, that such devices may violate state fire codes and pose an unacceptable risk to children and those with disabilities.

or its fall production, Burlington’s Girls Nite Out Productions brings Smokey Joe’s Café: The Songs of Leiber and Stoller to Main Street Landing Black Box Theater. Even before the show began on opening night, an enthusiastic crowd stirred up Broadway-esque fervor. Only a curmudgeon without a sense of nostalgia could attend this show without cracking a smile. To illustrate the scene, we offer an I-Spy… You were sitting in the front row wearing denim on Thursday’s opening night. When you stood up to dance, you were not deterred by the fact that the front row was level with the stage. You looked those actors square in their singing faces and danced like you were a star. You got moxie, kid. Girls Nite Out’s cast delivered an inclusive performance in which audience members could exercise their inner superstars along with the players. The openingnight audience evidently included friends of GNO cofounders Jennifer Warwick and Janet Stambolian, and these ladies were just as evidently on a night out. Highpitched whooping and hollering filled the air throughout the evening. If you think you don’t know the music of Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller, think again. The pop classics they penned include “Stand by Me,” “On Broadway” and “Fools Fall in Love,” and the songsmiths collaborated with such artists as the Coasters and Elvis Presley. If the cultural appropriation inherent in rock and roll has been rightly criticized (“Hound Dog,” a hit for Presley, was originally recorded by African American artist Big Mama Thornton), the contributions of Leiber and Stoller still loom large in the American music canon. Smokey Joe’s Café plays like a jukebox, paying homage to these songwriting legends by presenting some of their most popular songs. It’s more cabaret than musical, and nearly every song is a showstopper. Lyn Feinson’s sequined costumes, Rebecca Raskin and Alissa Auerbach’s lively choreography, and Martin Hain’s music direction aid and abet. Designer Ann Vivian’s set makes an impact, too. The words “Smokey Joe’s Café” are splayed across the top of four “brick” panels. A bar at stage left and cocktail tables on the right create a nightclub ambiance. This is enhanced by Belinda Emerson’s lighting design: Wandering spotlights create the illusion of a bustling city street at 2 a.m. A five-piece live band — pianist Carol Schein, saxophonist Dan Liptak, bassist Jack von Behren, drummer Jeff Salisbury and guitarist Kevin Boyea — stands ready to deliver a rocking good night. The two-hour show presents nearly 40 numbers revue-style, with no dialogue. Director Andrea Cronan led her cast through smooth and quick transitions. The pace of the play, and its energy, never flags. While the preshow excitement helped keep that energy going, some inconsistent elements made the treatment of the play’s story seem secondary to the song and dance. Individual scenes didn’t necessarily suffer, yet the production lacked cohesion as a whole. To be fair, Smokey Joe’s Café is a difficult show to pull off. There is no plot to speak of, the characters do not have

recognizable names and the songs’ lyrics do the only storytelling. The program features a breakdown of each musical number, with featured artists and the setting where the song takes place. Those settings include the fictional Smokey Joe’s Café, onstage at the café and a frustratingly vague “limbo.” Practically speaking, all the numbers in the Girls Nite Out production take place in “limbo,” as no elements of the set or costumes consistently indicate shifts between settings. The only way to determine the current location is to follow along in the program, which is hard to do after the house lights go down. The “story” of Smokey Joe’s Café begins with the characters in their neighborhood of origin. They leave to pursue careers in show business and eventually return to their old stomping grounds, where they wonder if the bonds they made when they were young endure after the marquee lights have faded. One passage from the song “In the Neighborhood” is reprised three times: “Faded pictures in my scrapbook / Just thought I’d take one more look / And recall when we were all / In the neighborhood.” The evocation of those well-worn, meaningful bonds is central to the nostalgia of the show. But staging needs to build those bonds among the actors; otherwise, a lack of chemistry can cause otherwise powerful songs to fall flat, which sometimes occurred in this production. When Jane Harissis sang “Fools Fall in Love” — about how, darn it all, love just snuck up on her and now she’s a fool, too — it was clear she had no one to sing about. The message wasn’t believable. That said, this iteration of Smokey Joe’s Café had undeniable high points. Justin Bouvier literally threw himself across the stage and wailed his songs of love lost

in an evocative and heartfelt performance. Harissis carried the weight of the show’s belt-it-out diva, admirably playing a gospel vocalist. It’s always fun to hear a bass singer onstage, and Leigh Guptill did not disappoint. His Presley-inspired rendition of “Jailhouse Rock” was gyrating good fun. As the cast’s sexy vixen, Vanessa Ament turned in a brave and sultry performance. Kim Nowlan Hathaway supported her with some provocative dancing, including a sensual tango. Travis Hathaway and Nathan Tykocki played the show’s heartthrobs, fitting right into the retro setting with their classic good looks and earnest performances. Suzanna Miller presented the most fully formed character, and her facial expressions showed a consistent thoughtfulness as she interacted with others. If Smokey Joe’s Café relies on great individual songs, it succeeds because of ensemble performances. The men’s voices blended together harmoniously throughout the show, and the ladies brought down the house with a dynamic rendition of the girl-power hit “I’m a Woman.” As the cast struck poses in their final number, the audience stood and danced along with them. Smokey Joe’s Café salutes two of American music’s most treasured songwriters, and it winks at the core reasons for their fame: good beats, catchy melodies and a bit of heart. Those ingredients inevitably add up to an entertaining night out. m

isorientation may be the ideal way to liberate an audience. In his bold vision of Macbeth, director Stephen Brown-Fried uses surprise to help viewers see the play anew. Northern Stage’s production is not merely a modern-dress spin on a classic but a novel way to experience its emotional depth. Shakespeare’s story of a man shedding his morality in a quest for power is a complete psychological portrait that can be set in almost any context. BrownFried selects a dystopian future in a world at war, and he succeeds in turning abstract need into visceral hunger. Spurred by his own ambition and his wife’s determination and deluded by a sense of invulnerability, Macbeth murders those who stand between him and Scotland’s throne. Brown-Fried’s surprises are enlightening parallels that give Shakespeare’s images fresh power. The three witches first appear as combat casualties, then as hollow-eyed battlefield medics. Banquo’s military training sustains him as a ghost who still firmly squares his turns as he marches. Macbeth and his wife conspire in a kitchen of soulless stainless steel in which the only wall decoration is a security video. In Shakespeare’s text it is hallucination, not magic, that propels Macbeth. Brown-Fried amplifies this idea. “Double, double toil and trouble” becomes a methcooking recipe, and Macbeth’s crazed desire to see the future is best realized by shooting up. In a play of unsatisfied appetite, the addict is king.

The production is dark, literally and figuratively. White theatrical lighting is unsoftened by tinting gels. A bank of fluorescent fixtures creates a hospital room; portable worklights illuminate battles; candles flicker at a dinner table and in a dark hallway. Finally, the only lights are the flashlight beams mounted on gun barrels. The darkness is complete. But the production is so alive with emotion that these somber tones only enhance the intensity of the characters’ needs. Macbeth and Lady Macbeth begin conjuring happiness as they envision political success. Violence is a means to an end. Their scenes together have a charge of sex and power, and when they touch, theirs is not a delicate caress but the firm grip of brutal resolve. Scenic designer Bill Clarke creates a disturbing, fascinating world. Packing crates, TV sets and an industrial fan stand in disorder on top of rocky rubble strewn around the stage. The audience sees the theater’s backstage doors and wire-covered utility lights. The TVs on the ground are joined by a turret of televisions, strapped together, that rises to the ceiling, ready to beam out picture and sound. Littering the stage with TVs might sound like old performance-art news, until you see what video designer Alek Deva and lighting and projections designer Dan Kotlowitz have done with them. The video images aren’t simplistic commentary on the action but integral to it. A soap opera replaces Shakespeare’s porter scene. A scandal concerning the first Thane of Cawdor unfolds on the TV news, and the resolution of the witches’

prophecy takes us back to the days when the Vietnam War appeared in America’s living rooms each evening. The use of video isn’t overdone. This production masterfully combines blank screens, abstract patterns and recognizable TV idioms to push Macbeth’s story into multiple dimensions. The wash of pixels that occasionally flickers over the entire set becomes both scene transition and, it seems, a chance for the characters to clear their heads and wake up from a nightmare. The battle scenes work on a contemporary audience with the power that Shakespeare presumably sought to achieve 400 years ago. But our experience of violence has changed in those centuries. Today, we’re at once overfamiliar and under-experienced; for most of us, knowledge comes from screens rather than life. Brown-Fried’s theater production has the power to unsettle us as movies can’t, with sound that shakes the room and light from its source, not from pixels. The performances suit Brown-Fried’s daring vision by contrasting almost ofhand realism in physicality — pausing for a smoke, kicking off shoes — with the emotional intensity of the language. Superimposing day-to-day gestures on characters in turmoil summons up the banality of evil. And this easy naturalism invites the recognition that we share Macbeth’s psychological contours: No matter how repellent, he is emotionally and morally comprehensible. Trisha Miller’s Lady Macbeth traces a sharp arc from competent wife to icy accomplice to guilt-riddled madwoman.

Damian Thompson gives Banquo a soldier’s honor and bearing, and a harrowing death. Robert David Grant portrays Macbeth’s eventual madness effectively but sheds less light on his internal journey there. With excellent vocal skill, Grant gives the speeches nice rhythms, yet he rushes past Macbeth’s doubts before they register. Hollis McCarthy as Rosse and Bradley Anderson as Lennox convey Shakespeare’s subtle sarcasm as lords watching Macbeth’s rise to power. As Macduff, Avery Glymph reveals the character’s dignity as he suffers both physical and spiritual wounds. Kim Fischer’s Malcolm shrewdly tests those around him. Rigel Harris, Carene Rose Mekertichyan and Virginia Ogden are mesmerizing as the three witches. They interact powerfully as a group with its own code and secrets, and radiate cunning and mystery. Moria Sine Clinton’s costumes are arresting. Military camouflage depersonalizes Macbeth as a soldier, and his business suit is yet another uniform of control. Giving the lords flak jackets over their suits conveys a state of unending war. Macbeth’s pursuit of power repels but also attracts. One of the most appealing contemporary narratives is single-minded drive toward a goal. We might venerate a TV character with such zeal or imagine ourselves in his or her place. Shakespeare and Brown-Fried turn up the volume on that channel a little and show what happens next. m Contact: alex@sevendaysvt.com

AW, SHUCKS!

Author Rowan Jacobsen talks about his ongoing love affair with oysters

ost of the time, Calais resident Rowan Jacobsen describes oysters as if he were recalling lovers, his words like fingertips brushing across skin. Of the Olympia variety, he writes: “I think this is the most gorgeous oyster in the world. Unearthly blacks and blues seem to flicker before your eyes, changing every time you glance back, like hot sheet metal.” Yet he often punctuates his languorous descriptions with little shocks of visceral viciousness. “A good oyster smells like the sea breeze skipping over the shore. A bad oyster smells like a murder victim,” he writes in The Essential Oyster: A Salty Appreciation of Taste and Temptation. “I prefer the former.” In 2007, Jacobsen published his first seafood-centric book, A Geography of Oysters: The Connoisseur’s Guide to Oyster Eating in North America, which won a James Beard Award. He followed up on that book’s success with a handful of web tools designed to help people find and enjoy bivalves. His newest volume, The Essential Oyster, hit shelves on October 4. Those in the know will recognize that the book comes just in time. As the author points out, the old rule of R — that one ought to eat oysters only in months with that letter in their names — has been invalidated by modern production, shipping and storage. But Jacobsen still acknowledges in his book that most oysters are best between November and January, because, like bears, the shellfish fatten themselves in preparation “for the long winter dormancy.” For all their popularity, serving oysters at home can still be incredibly intimidating. First, using an implement sharp enough to puncture skin, you have to twist and pop to break them out of their shells. Then, knowing they’re still alive, you slice the adductor muscle that clings to the shell, reminding yourself that these creatures have no brains and no hearts. And neither, perhaps, do you. We wanted to know more about the art of eating oysters, so we asked Jacobsen — in Seattle on his book tour — a few questions.

SEVEN DAYS: What made you realize it was time for a second oyster book? ROWAN JACOBSEN: The oyster world has kinda blown up since [the publication of A Geography of Oysters]. Probably a quarter of the oysters I wrote about in that book no longer exist. But, more importantly, there are hundreds of new ones, so much was missing. That first book was really “oysters for dummies.” It was a tool to make someone oyster literate so they could walk into an oyster bar with confidence. This time, it was [written] to capture the romance of oysters. Part of that was getting an opportunity

In White River Junction, Barrett’s opening menu includes deep-dish pies filled with pork and parsnip, rabbit and bacon, celery root and roasted garlic, and spinach and feta, among other combinations. There are also salads, such as one made with cauliflower, radicchio, raisins and pine nuts; and — while the corn lasts — a sweet soup loaded with corn picked the same day. These offerings can be eaten in-house or brought home, as can the sweets, which include plum upsidedown cake, oatmeal-currant cookies, and pies that hold blueberry and rhubarb or peaches and cream.

White River Junction has seen no shortage of new developments in recent years. And this Tuesday, October 11, the town gained a new restaurant when PIECEMEAL PIES opened in the old J.J. Newberry department store at 5 South Main Street. The shop offers savory pies and salads built on meats and produce from local farms. Once its liquor license goes through, it will also feature an array of Vermont ciders and beers — one of them from nearby RIVER ROOST BREWERY. “We have such amazing orchards and cider being made here,” chef-owner JUSTIN BARRETT tells Seven Days. Piecemeal, he says, was inspired by the casual afternoon meals of meat pies and ciders that he experienced on a research trip to England in 2013. Even before that trip, Barrett was no stranger to British cookery. In New York, the chef worked at April Bloomfield’s the Spotted Pig, which is widely credited with introducing America to the English gastropub. He then teamed with Ben Towill and Phil Winser to design and open the Fat Radish. In 2013, after

Construction will begin December 1, with doors expected to open by spring 2017. In the meantime, says Clemmons, she and Stevens are working with DUNCAN HOLADAY, owner of DUNC’S MILL in St. Johnsbury, to “do further research and development on our spirits.” Once open, Wild Hart’s distillery and tasting room — complete with a giant glass window facing Route 7 — will be set for sample sips and tours.

SD: Why do you love oysters so much? RJ: It’s not like I think an oyster is the most delicious thing in the world and I can’t wait to put that sucker in my mouth. It’s about the dynamic. I did this event recently. It was very snobby. It was a super-high-end meeting of tea and wine people, each kinda trying to impress the other. So we had rare Champagnes, and we’re trying those, and then drinking Pu-erh teas that are a big deal in China. The wine people did their usual “I taste hibiscus and apples.” I’d used the “wine style” of writing in the first oyster book. But the tea people were like, “Don’t pay attention to what it tastes like; that’s not important. Pay attention to how you feel afterwards.” That gets to the heart of why people love oysters. It’s primal. It touches on the whole aphrodisiac thing, the surge you feel when you eat them. I say in the book that “they’re more mood than food.” They’re a drug. That’s why I love them: It’s the spike. You feel intensely alive. Plus, they’re salty and go great with beer. SD: What are your favorite accompaniments? RJ: In all seriousness, my favorite accompaniment with oysters is snow. You’ve gotta have snow. Get them shipped to Vermont in winter, go outside and fill a bowl, shuck the oysters and set them in the snowy bowl. Actually, you don’t even need a bowl; just go outside and shuck the oysters. There’s no ice that can get them so perfectly cold, so perfectly nestled. Have a cold martini to go with them. There’s a recipe in the new book for a Dirty Dirty Martini with olive juice and oyster brine. It’s a fun one. And then — I got this from [Calais resident and food writer] Marialisa Calta — if I’m not eating them straight, [I add] just a couple drops of lemon and a grind of fresh pepper, even just the pepper without the lemon. I’ve never seen anyone else do it. SD: If somebody is dead set on cooking oysters, how do you recommend they do it?

JACOBSEN ON COMMON OYSTERS These days, oysters are pretty easy to come by. Supermarkets such as Hannaford and Shaw’s carry them; the latter’s website offers a quick guide to shucking. Wood Mountain Fish, Stowe Seafood and Black River Produce supply restaurants. The region even has an independent oyster farmer, John Brawley of Sweet Sound Oysters in Duxbury Bay, Mass., who shuttles his wares up from the coast. Don’t know a Wellfleet from an Island Creek? Here’s what Jacobsen says in ˜ e Essential Oyster about the flavor of some of the more common East Coasters. BEAUSOLEIL: “Light, yeasty and gently

balanced, like an off-dry Champagne.” ISLAND CREEK: “A New England clambake in a shell: quahog, lobster and sweet corn steamed in rockweed.” KATAMA BAY: “The full salt lick … at the

end comes a subtle pop of papaya.” MALPEQUE: “Moderately salty with a tannic tea finish.” MOONSTONE: “Strong and beefy, rich as

bone broth.” PICKLE POINT: “Very clean, moderately briny, quite crunchy. The finish turns bright.” WELLFLEET: “Salty, nutty, buttered popcorn with a few shakes of brewer’s yeast.”

Rowan Jacobsen tonging oysters

RJ: I’m not as much of a hard-ass about that. It used to be, “Oh, God, you’re cooking the oysters!” I’m not as curmudgeonly anymore. Look at the recipes in the book. There’s a really lightly smoked oyster that’s really good. I think they’re great in stews. The classic: super-simple oyster stew. SD: Why do you think oysters are such a part of the hipster zeitgeist? RJ: In part, it’s definitely the drug thing. But it’s also because they bring authenticity to the table — they’re this hunk of the natural world. Most people don’t get a lot of authenticity in their lives. [So much is] virtual, and the oyster is not virtual; it’s real. Maybe a little too real. SD: What would you say to someone who’s intimidated by oysters? RJ: I don’t try to convince people from the other side of the fence to come over to my side. But a lot of people had a crappy oyster for their first experience. There’s a huge difference between a really good oyster and a skanky oyster that’s been knocking around the distribution center for two weeks.

When people say, “OK, I’ll try,” I give them something fresh and crisp, and make sure the first one’s small. SD: Are you worried about Vibrio? [Vibrio Vibrio vulniﬁ vulnificus is a virulent bacterium that thrives in warmer waters and can be carried by raw or lightly cooked seafood.] RJ: Yeah, I think everyone in the oyster world is. It’s definitely creeping northward. Oysters are pretty tightly regulated right now. States know these things are going to be eaten raw. An even bigger change, climate-wise, is ocean acidification. There have been huge die-offs on the Pacific coast. It just dissolves the shells on little baby oysters. On oyster farms, they’re trying to figure out ways to buffer it a little bit. You literally add baking soda to the water. For wild reefs, it’s going to be a big problem. SD: Oysters and beer? Oysters and cider? What do you think? RJ: With oysters, I don’t like really hoppy beers. I like a really clean, crisp

pilsner. Lost Nation [Brewing] has a pilsner. Hill Farmstead [Brewery] has [an ale] called Works of Love, which has Earl Grey tea in it, and it’s only 3.7 percent alcohol. It’s ever so slightly floral, and it’s really good with oysters. With cider, I like richer, full-bodied ones. The ones with a little more oomph to them are really good. [Eden Specialty Ciders’] new one, which is pure Northern Spy, is concentrated to 11 percent alcohol, and it’s got some oak on it. It’s less sweet than semi-sweet, but it’s not pure dry. It’s a perfect oyster cider. Their sparkling dry is great, too. And Shacksbury Classic is really good with oysters. Contact: podhaizer@sevendaysvt.com

permitting holdup led to delays in construction. CNM originated in New York City’s East Village in 1993 and expanded to Stowe in 2015. Hughes says the goal of each site is to offer products that reflect the community’s

needs. Compared with the other, smaller locations, the 3,300-squarefoot Winooski space will allow for “more bulk herbs and spices … and ethnic prepared foods” to reflect the

diverse makeup of the town, he says. How will Hughes know what people are looking for? “The single best way to cultivate the right product mix is to ask the customers what they want,” he says. He also likes to solicit feedback via email, Facebook and an in-store suggestion box: “We try to get ourselves really immersed in the community.” Hughes promises that CNM’s wares, from fancy chocolate bars to local meats to “basic organic staples,” will be “aggressively priced.” He also suggests he’s familiar with the territory. Although the East Village has 70,000 people to Winooski’s 7,000, Hughes says, “The breakdown of who lives there is not that dissimilar.”

ong shadows were all that remained of an October afternoon. Sapling fruit trees, arranged in meandering berms, lined the drive to a regal timber-frame barn that looked new and old at once. Beneath three arched carriage bays, cider presses kept company with burlap bags, presently stuffed with wild apples. Tarps, hand tools and farm implements crowded the space in the clutter of a working farm. The hill descended into the wide basin where the Clark family raised dairy cows for generations, until its last farmer fell victim to a bull in 2010. Beneath the barn, a cool tunnel shelters wines made from apples and grapes, currants and berries, honey and sap. For the past several years, Fable Farm Fermentory brothers Jon and Chris Piana have been fermenting and collecting these liquids — most of them applebased — in a mishmash of barrels, tanks, carboys and demijohns. Over time, the Pianas will blend and transform the liquids into beverages that resonate as a flavor of place. Call it cider as wine. In the barrel cave, handwritten notes mark each vessel’s contents. Jon

uncorked one labeled “Eastman Blend,” siphoned out the Champagne-yellow liquid and dropped it into tasting glasses. The wood had already begun to soften the cider’s flavor. Round notes of oak, redolent of an old wine, had begun to seep in. “We should probably get this out of here sooner rather than later,” Chris said — lest the cider take on too much oak. Jon poured three samples from a stainless-steel tank across the cellar. In contrast to the first, this second ciderwine tasted of sun-warmed wild apples — tart and feral, with spicy mineral notes and a scent suggesting damp soil and yellowed field grasses. “This is the same cider,” Chris said — except for its time in the barrel. Then, a taste of 2015’s End of Season Blend: raw, sharp and biting in a way many backyard cider makers understand. “Both of these ciders need some reckoning,” Chris said, sticking his nose into the glass. Last November, the brothers poured the juice into an old steel tank and left it to do its thing for many moons.

It was the final press of a marathon apple season: In 2015, Vermont’s trees produced apples in historic numbers, and the fermentory milled some 3,500 gallons of juice, more than double its 2014 output. Nearly all of it flowed from apples picked in pastures and roadsides, then hauled on tarps from sites as far as 10 miles from the farm. In time, the brash cider will mellow. Depending on how it develops, the Pianas may blend it with juice from other places, presses and years. They’ll bottle and age it — perhaps with herbs or other fruits or crushed apples from this fall’s presses, or with grape pomace from mentor winemakers Deirdre Heekin and Caleb Barber of nearby La Garagista. Or maybe they’ll let it go to vinegar and use it in the kitchen — only time will tell. Chris and Jon never planned to become winemakers. The brothers grew up in southern New Hampshire and, after college, both landed farm jobs in the Champlain Valley. When Barnard cattle farmer Joe LaDouceur agreed to lease them land at his Bowman Road Farm in 2007, they moved to the area to plant a CSA garden. “That was our first commitment to space,” Chris said. As LaDouceur flipped the sod on those two acres, Jon and Chris accepted responsibility for a piece of landscape that was then mostly new to them. They rented a village farmhouse just off the common. Apples were ripe and abundant and free for the taking. As they sampled home-fermented ciders from friends around Vermont, the brothers’ farm-based homebrew aspirations evolved into basement cider experiments. In 2009, the Pianas supplemented their Bowman Road plot with a halfacre garden behind their house. For the next three summers, CSA members gathered there for Thursday vegetable pickups, lingering over BYO drinks and wood-fired pizzas from the farm’s backyard oven.

By 2012, CSA membership had grown to about 100. Thursday attendance was often twice that, and the farm was hosting dinner theater and other happenings on the wide lawn, fringed by the low canopy of a knotted old apple tree. As young farmers starting out in the post-2008 financial disarray, the Pianas wanted to explore new models in the spaces where agriculture and community overlap. But the flurry of activity in Barnard’s sleepy downtown made some residents uncomfortable. And, as new event hosts, the brothers weren’t operating exactly to code. “We had never done this before,” said Jon, acknowledging the time as a learning experience.

In response to local concerns, the Barnard Selectboard convened a townhall forum in the autumn of 2012. Addressing his adopted community, Chris recalled asking, “What does agriculture look like in this age?” He remembered applause echoing through the town hall as forum attendees expressed support for their landbased cultural mission. What’s more, Chris added, locals didn’t need to worry about sustained increase in traffic around the village square: Fable Farm was moving across town to the former Clark Farm.

Collective Effort

On land bisected by Royalton Turnpike, the fermentory shares about 250 acres with Eastman Farm (pork and beef ), Kiss the Cow Farm (dairy) and Heartwood Farm (vegetables). These businesses — jointly known as the Fable Collective — lease the property from the Vermont Land Trust, which conserved the Clark Farm in 2007 with funds from the Barnard Conservation Commission and dozens of individual donors. Here, on Thursdays in June through October, the collective hosts the Feast & Field Market (the final 2016 market is October 20). Near a stone-walled

maple tree line, locals gather beneath a yellow and white tent for CSA pickup and dinner, live music, and other performances, much as they did in town during Fable Farm’s early days. Beyond the market venue, the property ascends gently, then unfurls in rolling pastures and curved rows of vegetables. Across the turnpike to the west, the farmers also share the Rumney Barn, which houses the winery and barrel cave along with a commercial kitchen, event space, cold storage and equipment bays. The farms use these spaces as their collective home base, while the Pianas’ Fable Farm works with Eastman Farm chef Joseph Morel to host weddings, parties and culinary and cultural events around the property.

racked into bourbon barrels, where it aged for most of a year. Spicy and tannic, with bright apple flavor and evanescent esters, the drink offered the shifting complexity one might expect from a great wine. Each sip revealed something new and fascinating. “It’s a small batch,” Jon said, indicating that the cider was an experiment and would probably never see the open market. Because seasons, blends and pressings of fruit are unique, most Fable ciders and wines include some trial element. Using the cellar as researchers might use a library, the brothers can borrow and blend until they arrive at a product that tastes true to place. That’s why Fable’s bottled offerings vary widely from one release to another. Midway through dinner, local winemaker and Wines of Vermont author Todd Trzaskos stopped by. The conversation shifted to grapes, which have been so bountiful in Vermont this year that many vineyards are selling their excess. Fable is developing a vineyard on the property, but it won’t bear fruit for several years. This fall, the brothers arranged to buy fruit from Lincoln Peak Vineyard in New Haven. To Trzaskos, the brothers seemed to question whether trellising a vineyard aligned with the spirit of their mission. “I don’t want to have to baby [these vines],” Jon said. Since the fermentory’s inception, the Pianas have worked with plants that thrive in this place regardless of human intervention. They accept what the land offers and facilitate its transformation into native beverages. At what point does fussing with a finicky, nonindigenous species tip from cultivating crop diversity toward imposing your will on a place? In a conversation later, Trzaskos contextualized Fable’s work. “They’re carrying on a tradition from a time when there were no ways to control the process,” he said. “[Historically, there was no] introduced yeast — or temperature control, other than opening the cellar door to cool it off or warm it up.” Working with native plants, he added, introduces “aspects that are part of the landscape — to give the land a voice through the cider.” Back on the farm, Jon sipped a glass of salmon-colored pét-nat, which sparkled with tiny bubbles, much as Champagne might. “It’s really that cider is wine,” he said. “It really always has been,” Chris added. “Ever since back in the day.” m

“We’re trying to fuse all these things together,” Chris said, conscious of the complexities involved in blending theater and music, food and drink production, and market gatherings. Then there is navigating the many tacit partnerships between individuals and businesses working in the same space. In 2016, the Piana brothers withdrew from vegetable production. Justin Park of Heartwood Farm now runs the CSA, while Fable Farm has shifted its focus to perennial crops such as apples, pears, currants, grapes and herbs to service the Fermentory. Looking out into the basin, Jon pointed to a nearby pocket of fruit trees just beyond view. “There are hundreds of apples in here that we’re bringing back,” he said. “Our mission is kind of to plant this whole valley,” Chris said. That night, over dinner at the Rumney Barn, Chris uncorked a small, unlabeled bottle. This cider was fermented on apple skins in fall 2014, then

Death can be a tough topic to broach, especially with children. A new collaboration of best-selling author Julia Alvarez and printmaker Sabra Field aims to make the conversation a little easier. Where Do They Go?,, the Vermont artists’ new kids’ book, uses poetry and simple, colorful illustrations to pose questions about what happens after a loved one dies. Alvarez and Field preview the publication, available to the general public in November, at a child-friendly reading, discussion and book signing, complete with a standing-accordion sculpture of the 10 prints Field created for the book.

Christopher Scheer wants you to know that clowns don’t always wear big shoes and crazy wigs, and they aren’t just for kids. Scheer captivates audiences with a more contemporary and understated version of the classic comic entertainment: His clip reel shows him as a shaggy-haired millennial in motorcycle boots — and a red nose. The funnyman invites viewers into his world during workshop performances of his new interactive project, In Defense of Pleasure — A Clown Play for Adult Audiences, in which he bounces between magic tricks and not-entirely-appropriate tales of his time as a children’s magician and birthday clown in New York City.
