then resold the properties with deed restrictions forbidding fuel sales. As staff writer Alicia Freese reported on Seven Days’ Off Message blog, Vallee declined comment; the heads of the three other companies did not return calls. Joe Choquette, who lobbies for the Vermont Petroleum Association, said that such allegations have been heard and answered before. “With the same information, both the Federal Trade Commission and the Vermont Attorney General’s Office have declined to take any action in the past,” he wrote in an email. “We believe that motor fuel marketing in Vermont is highly competitive, and we have appeared many times before legislative bodies and in the media to explain the marketing and pricing of gasoline. This is a transparent industry that posts its prices on 12-foot signs at the street level for all to see.” Bailey & Glasser says its work focuses on “complex commercial and class action litigation, with a particular emphasis in energy and finance.” The firm has lawyers in Washington, D.C., Boston and Chicago working on the case, along with Joshua Simonds of the Burlington Law Practice.

asoline prices in Chittenden County have been some of the highest in the country, say lawyers with Bailey & Glasser, and they contend they know why. The firm dropped bombshell allegations in a suit filed Monday in Chittenden Superior Court that claims the companies controlling most of the local fuel business are fixing prices. The suit charges that four companies — R.L. Vallee, which is owned by Skip Vallee and runs the Maplefields chain; S.B. Collins; Champlain Farms/ Wesco; and the Champlain Oil Company — illegally colluded to set high gas prices. The suit alleges that the companies’ prices track each other’s “in nearly identical fashion” and that they may have “pilfered” more than $100 million since 2005 from customers in Chittenden, Grand Isle and Franklin counties. The class action suit was brought to represent both wholesale and retail customers. Another allegation in the suit: The defendants suppressed competition. The claim mentions efforts by Vallee to block gas stations at Walmart in St. Albans and Costco in Colchester, and also says the defendants purchased competing stations,

“Shelter Skelter: Domestic Abuse Survivors Wind Up in Seedy Motels” [June 3] got me thinking about Women Helping Battered Women and its bottleneck shelter problem. I understand that the need for safe, affordable housing is high, and there just doesn’t seem to be enough to go around at any one given time. What perplexed me is why WHBW doesn’t transition the people who have been staying in the shelter for extended periods of time — and most likely have support and a plan to move forward — into the motels. They’d more likely be out of the immediate crisis period than a person who has just left an abusive situation, and in a better position to handle a living arrangement outside of the shelter. The person who has just escaped his or her abusive situation is most in need of a supportive environment. It might also help them not go back to an abuser. Stephanie Bixby

[Re “Time to Grow Up? Burlington Considers New Building Heights,” June 10]: While I’m underwhelmed by the design of the Town Center mall building, I am hopeful that 300 units of housing downtown could put a dent in what has been called a “housing crisis” — provided that the units being built are actually what’s needed. If the city is going to sound the alarm for housing, it must do everything in its power to make sure that what is built directly addresses the problem. Otherwise, pressure gets put on areas that should be preserved as open space or protected for other uses. Building lots are too limited to be wasted on nonessential luxury condos. I do wonder if we could get the same number of smaller units — 400 to 500 square feet — into something lower than the proposed 14-story height. This would help with affordability as well. I attended the People’s Housing Summit recently, and one woman said she would like to see the apartment equivalent of a tiny house option. This makes good sense and could prove a thoughtful development approach that puts people ahead of profits. Lastly, I have some real concerns about form-based code. A system in which netzero buildings don’t fit the code and the public-review process is greatly reduced doesn’t sound like an improvement on traditional zoning. I’d like to see Burlington Planning and Zoning take a step back and consider reforming traditional zoning. Addressing actual problems in a known system is more cost-effective than months of PowerPoint presentations on something overly complex that may be seen as tomorrow’s urban-renewal folly. The Queen City made one big planning blunder by erasing an entire neighborhood and blocking streets with a mall. Let’s not make another with form-based code.
SEVENDAYSVt.com
Paul Heintz’s closing comments in Off Message: “Campaign Vets Share Tips for Vermont’s Gov Contenders” [June 12] were sad and depressingly true. He wrote, “Candidates are likely already courting the state’s traditional power brokers, such as Lake Champlain Regional Chamber of Commerce president Tom Torti, Green Mountain Power CEO Mary Powell, St. Albans Messenger publisher Emerson Lynn and, of course, ‘the Burlington Bishops.’” Gubernatorial supplicants genuflecting before the likes of Torti, Powell and their ilk and kissing the rings of “the Burlington Bishops” illustrates how Vermont politics is infected by the same terminal virus as American politics generally: Namely, you need to win the wealthy elites before you then go on to pose — momentarily — as a man or woman of the people. Leonard Cohen sang it better than I could: “Everybody knows that the dice are loaded/ Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed/ Everybody knows that the war is over/ Everybody knows the good guys lost/ Everybody knows the fight was fixed/ The poor stay poor, the rich get rich/ That’s how it goes/ Everybody knows.”

and high peaks have been overshadowed by one of the biggest national news stories of the summer: the cinematic PRISON BREAK at Clinton Correctional Facility in Dannemora. As of press time, almost three weeks after the two murderers busted out, the coast was still not clear. Crime reporter Mark Davis went over to COVER THE COVERAGE — and got pulled over by the cops. Once the cons get away — or caught — Adirondack life will presumably go on as it has for centuries. Read on to learn about its ART HISTORY, MEDICAL RESEARCH, BARBECUE, LAWSUITS and, of course, world-class HIKING, PADDLING and BIKING. There’s way more to it than GORGEOUS SUNSETS.

It was August 2009 — nearly three years after Welch rode an anti-Iraq War wave to the U.S. House. That summer, seven months into BARACK OBAMA’s presiClinical Neuroscience Research Unit dency, sizable Democratic majorities in the House and Senate were plowing through an aggressive agenda. They’d passed the 12v-uvmclinicalresearch092414.indd 1 9/18/14 4:14 PM Recovery Act and were knee-deep in what would become the Affordable Care Act, the Dodd-Frank Act and the ill-fated WaxmanMarkey climate change bill. Welch had little interest in returning to Montpelier, and as his spokesman, I was under strict orders from chief of staff BOB ROGAN to squelch any such rumors. “Off the record: no chance,” I responded to Totten. Fast-forward to two weeks ago, when Douglas’ successor, Democratic Gov. PETER SHUMLIN, announced he’d step down in January 2017 after a turbulent three terms in office. CHANGING THE WORLD, This time, something was different. ONE BODY AT A TIME After Shumlin consigliere BILL LOFY floated Welch’s name as a potential gubernatorial candidate, Rogan declined to squelch the rumor. “It’s likely Congressman Welch will 802 655 2500 seek reelection to Congress, but this news planetmassagevermont.com comes as a surprise, so he will be taking the time he needs to thoughtfully consider how he can best serve Vermonters,” Rogan 12v-planetmassage061715.indd 1 6/15/15 10:21 AMsaid in a statement shortly after Shumlin’s announcement. As word spread that Welch was taking the prospect seriously, a rapidly growing field of potential gubernatorial candidates froze in place. Top-tier Democrats said they’d defer to the congressman. And while Lt. Gov. PHIL SCOTT, the GOP’s top prospect, claimed a Welch run wouldn’t influence his decision, few believe he would oppose a popular, well-known, well-financed Democrat in a high-turnout presidential election year.

OPEN SEASON ON VERMONT POLITICS BY PAUL HEINTZ
he rarely has to make a tough decision on the House floor. And given the depressingly depleted state of the Vermont press corps, he is subject to little scrutiny. If the dude wants to ride out the remainder of his political career with sky-high approval ratings, trips to Cuba and appearances on MSNBC, he should stay put. But if Welch really wants to make a difference in Vermonters’ lives, he’ll give up his position in the permanent minority of Speaker JOHN BOEHNER’s (R-Ohio) House — and the sliver of a chance at becoming a U.S. senator — and take the reins as Vermont’s chief executive.
IT AIN’T EVERY DAY YOU’RE OFFERED THE GOVERNORSHIP ON A SILVER PLATTER. There’s a reason many of Welch’s former peers — Georgia Gov. NATHAN DEAL, Idaho Gov. BUTCH OTTER, Indiana Gov. MIKE PENCE, Oklahoma Gov. MARY FALLIN and Washington Gov. JAY INSLEE — abandoned the House to lead their respective states: Governors can get shit done. Not that it’s easy, as Shumlin himself pointed out in his retirement announcement. “Governors actually have to do things. We’re not like some other politicians in America,” Shumlin said, surely alluding to the legislators of the world who simply vote ‘yay’ and ‘nay.’ “We’ve got to deliver. And it’s a tough job.” It sure is. When revenue projections fall short or the feds cut funding, the governor has to figure out how to keep government running. When floodwaters inundate communities, the governor has to lead the response. When a child under state supervision dies, the governor has to face the cameras and explain what happened. Welch may have voted for the Affordable Care Act, but it was Shumlin who actually had to implement the thing in Vermont. The governor’s difficulties in meeting its unrealistic deadlines essentially ended his political career. So why on Earth would Welch run? As a senior statesman with decades of experience and bipartisan bona fides, he could come back to Montpelier and be the grown-up in the room. Like California Gov. JERRY BROWN, who returned to the office after a 28-year hiatus, Welch could
make the difficult decisions necessary to tackle the state’s toughest challenges: its perennial budget gap, rising property taxes, costly health insurance and endemic poverty. If Welch considered this his last political act, he could ignore the special interests that so often get in the way of change: the Chittenden County business elite who whisper “no new taxes” in every governor’s ear; the union bosses who bristle at any change that could affect their membership; the contract lobbyists who prowl the Statehouse on behalf of corporate clients. Of course, Welch would have to make his own declaration of independence, or we’ll end up with yet another governor who puts the transactional above the transformational. A quick glance at his Federal Election Commission filings shows that Vermonters aren’t the only ones Welch is working for in D.C. Among those who have contributed to his $1.7 million campaign war chest are the likes of Comcast, Verizon, General Dynamics, Duke Energy, Aetna and the National Chicken Council. By all accounts, Welch is truly struggling with the unexpected decision he now faces. It wasn’t in the game plan. But Welch has always aspired to be a great leader — the kind of man remembered long after he’s gone. This is his opportunity to show whether he is one.
General’s Election Perhaps the only pol who isn’t waiting on Welch is Chittenden County State’s Attorney T.J. DONOVAN. He isn’t even waiting on Attorney General BILL SORRELL. As Seven Days’ TERRI HALLENBECK first reported Sunday, Donovan plans to make a second run for attorney general in 2016 — regardless of whether Sorrell, a fellow Democrat, seeks reelection (see blog excerpts, page 22). “There’s no reason to be coy about this,” Donovan says. “I’ll have a more formal announcement after Labor Day, but why continue to play the game? Let’s be honest and transparent about it: I’m running — and I’m running to win.” It’s early yet, but the third-term county prosecutor’s timing is smart. As every other politico weighs a run for governor, lieutenant governor or the U.S. House, Donovan has staked a claim on perhaps the easiest office to win. And it’s the one that makes the most sense for an up-and-coming 41-year-old with a long legal résumé and clear ambition for even higher office. It’s easiest to win because, even as a first-time statewide candidate who

jumped into the race five months before the August 2012 primary, Donovan lost to Sorrell by just 714 votes. And that was before the incumbent became ensnared in an ethics scandal related to his campaign finance practices. Sorrell clearly isn’t getting great political advice about how to handle the challenge. In his responses to seemingly every reporter who’s asked, he’s gone out of his way to raise the issue of those ethics allegations, saying he’ll “begin to seriously think about” the race once an independent investigator finishes a review of the charges. “I look forward to the truth coming out,” he said. Wow. Way to keep the focus on your own alleged improprieties. Donovan says he won’t bring up the charges or “say anything negative about Attorney General Sorrell.” But you can’t oppose an incumbent from your own party without drawing distinctions — and Donovan appears prepared to do just that. “I think I can do a better job than what’s currently being done at that office,” he says. “At the end of the day, the power of the attorney general’s office — whether it’s economic justice, criminal justice, environmental protection, utility regulation, campaign finance — it really is about being engaged.” Nearly 20 years after he was appointed to the post by governor Howard dean, will Sorrell wage one last fight to clear his name? Or will he finally call it quits? Only Sorrell knows for sure.
mother’s unrealized dream of buying her own home. “Their story, my story, our story is a story of America.” Sanders pointed to his legislative record supporting liberal reforms and even tried to one-up Clinton by obliquely criticizing her suggestion last year that undocumented, unaccompanied children should be turned back at the border. “America has always been a haven for the oppressed,” he said. “Is there any group more vulnerable than children? We cannot and must not shirk the historic role of the United States as a protector of vulnerable people fleeing persecution.” While in Vegas, Sanders found himself responding to yet more issues outside his comfort zone: race and guns. Three days earlier, a young white man with a history of racist musings killed eight parishioners and a pastor at a historically black church in Charleston, S.C. Sanders was quick to condemn the killings and to cancel a planned trip to Charleston, but he was cautious in calling for South Carolina to remove the Confederate battle flag from its capitol grounds. He waited until late Monday, when state Republicans pledged to remove the flag, before saying he supported such a move — three days after Seven Days inquired about his position. Odder still, Sanders appeared unprepared to answer predictable questions about his evolving position on gun rights (see blog excerpts, page 22). Though he was first elected with the support of the National Rifle Association and voted against the Brady Bill in 1993, he has since awkwardly embraced gun control, voting for universal background checks and an assault weapons ban in 2013. “I think the people of Vermont understand that guns in Vermont are different than guns in Chicago or guns in Los Angeles,” he told reporters in Las Vegas, according to CNN, adding that the country needs “to have a serious conversation” about its gun laws. Asked what, precisely, that conversation might entail, Sanders dodged. “I will talk about guns at some length, but not right now,” he said. Not exactly the kind of truth-talking response for which Sanders has become famous. Perhaps he realizes that when it comes to immigration, race and guns, he’s no longer talking to an audience of old, white, gun-lovin’ Vermonters — and he’s in search of better answers. m

Support for Sen. Bernie SanderS’ (IVt.) economic populism has fueled his recent surge in New Hampshire and Iowa presidential polls. But now that the national pundits are starting to take him seriously, the Vermont independent has been forced to address issues outside his wheelhouse. In recent weeks, Sanders skeptics have questioned his commitment to immigration reform, noting that he failed to raise the subject during his 35-minute campaign kickoff. “I don’t know if he likes immigrants, because he doesn’t seem to talk about immigrants,” Congressman LuiS Gutiérrez (D-Ill.), a HiLLary CLinton supporter, told talk show host Larry KinG. “He’s been kind of quiet and silent.” Sanders reacted quickly, adding new lines to his stump speech and speaking last Friday at a Las Vegas conference of the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials. “I myself am the son of an immigrant,” he told the crowd, recalling his father’s journey from Poland to Brooklyn and his

ocal ABC 22/Fox 44 reporter Alex Rose works nights and weekends, like many newly minted journalists. On Saturday, June 6, he was scheduled to cover the grand opening of the city marina in Plattsburgh, N.Y., when news broke of the Dannemora prison escape. Just a few reporters from local networks and the Plattsburgh PressRepublican attended New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s press conference that day, according to Rose. As details began to emerge, Rose realized that he was onto the biggest story of his short career. Dannemora — hardly anyone calls the prison by its proper name, the Clinton Correctional Facility — isn’t just any prison, but a famously imposing fortress in a town with the same name. No one had ever escaped from its maximumsecurity wing, which has such famous alumni as rappers Tupac Shakur and Ol’ Dirty Bastard, mobster “Lucky” Luciano, and Son of Sam killer David Berkowitz. And the escapees, Richard Matt and David Sweat, were not just any inmates, but violent killers. Their breakout was intricate and well planned: They duped guards with dummies made from sweatshirts and used power tools to escape their cells. They cut into a pipe and shimmied through it, emerging from a manhole outside the prison. Editors and producers across the country reached the same conclusion as Rose — Dannemora was huge news. Over the next couple of days, national reporters descended on the Adirondacks. Journalists from Japan, China and Great Britain joined the fray. Reporters from the local television stations found themselves working alongside their national network peers in what would become a draining media marathon. Dannemora, 15 minutes west of Plattsburgh, lies at a crossroads of local media markets. WCAX, a CBS affiliate based in South Burlington, keeps a small bureau in Plattsburgh. Local NBC affiliate WPTZ is based in the upstate New York city. Colchester-based ABC 22/Fox 44 got a room at the La Quinta Inn & Suites in Plattsburgh and called it HQ. By last week, it was starting to smell bad, Rose joked on a recent afternoon. “Every one of the press conferences got bigger and bigger,” Rose said, recalling the last two weeks. “It felt like we were climbing over each other.

scrambled to come up with new angles. Stories focused on how locals were faring with the swarm of police and media, the history of the prison, speculation about where the inmates may have fled — and even the kind of power tools they likely used. The Burlington Free Press focused obsessively on whether and when state police were monitoring ferry crossings across Lake Champlain. The nadir may have come last week, when media seized on images portraying how the inmates might have aged — in two weeks. “At this point, we’re squeezing a rock, trying to get anything out of it,” Rose said. But if journalists were becoming weary by last week, locals in Dannemora were surprisingly still tolerant of the bizarre circus that had descended on their struggling town. Some even said they were happy for the excitement. Unlike most Adirondack communities, Dannemora makes no attempt to be charming. “Welcome to Dannemora, building permits required,” is what passes for a greeting sign. The massive correctional facility, which has 30-foot perimeter walls, is located smack in the village’s center.

ix years ago, the editor of Adirondack Explorer loaded his gear into a green SpitFire canoe and set off on a two-day traverse through four ponds and five streams. When he got back, Phil Brown wrote a story for the magazine about his trip from Little Tupper Lake to Lake Lila. The narrative described the point at which he paddled through private property, instead of portaging around it on state-owned land. Brown’s decision replaced a “mile-long slog” with “an hour or more of great canoeing.” It also landed the journalist in court. The following year, the landowners sued Brown for trespassing. Brown knew he was pushing a boundary when he set out. He wrote the story — published in August 2009 under the headline “Testing the Legal Waters” — to draw attention to the legal ambiguity surrounding which Adirondack waterways are open to the public. But he got more than he bargained for in the form of a court case that has been closely watched by paddlers and property owners. In 2010, the landowners sued Brown in the state Supreme Court, where he prevailed. The plaintiffs appealed to the Appellate Division, which also ruled in Brown’s favor last January. In March, the landowners again appealed, sending the case to the Court of Appeals — New York’s highest court. It won’t be argued until later this year or early next. The Adirondack Park encompasses six million acres of protected land, fewer than half of which are owned by the state. The balance — 3.6 million acres — belongs to private owners, creating a landscape where “there are a lot of interlocking public and private parcels,” explained Chris Amato, a former assistant commissioner for natural resources at New York’s Department of Environmental Conservation. Common law in New York holds that the public has a right to travel on waterways that pass through private property as long as they are “navigable in fact.” That right doesn’t extend on shore, unless people need to make brief portages. Brown’s case boils down to one question: What does “navigable” mean? Recounting the epic legal proceedings over a pulled-pork sandwich, Brown was soft-spoken and thoughtful

It hired John Caffry, a lawyer who won a seminal paddler rights case in 1998, to represent him. Brown has another key ally in his camp: the state. Both the DEC and New York attorney general Eric Schneiderman intervened and are now defendants in the suit. On the opposing side is a network of relatives linked by their common ancestor, Benjamin Brandreth, who made a fortune peddling a “vegetable pill” in the 19th century.

The network board has the final say over each hospital’s budget, capital projects and the choice of each facility’s CEO. “There is good and bad to that, but a lot more good than bad,” said Dan Clark, who has been on the Alice Hyde board of trustees since 1980 and currently serves as its chair. He noted that the hospital could have looked at partnering with big medical centers in Albany or Syracuse. “We had choices,” he said. “But if you are picking someone to partner with, why not pick someone you are comfortable with?” Clark emphasized that Alice Hyde chose to join the UVM Health Network. “It is more from a desire than a need,” he said. “We are joining a group.

DiVello cited business advantages, too, such as jointly buying supplies and medical equipment and consolidating administrative functions. “There are lots of opportunities to lower operating costs,” he said. The current four-hospital network has cited $6 million in savings since 2012, but that’s a small number compared with the $1.6 billion combined annual budget for those hospitals. DiVello said the partnership will also mean easier access to capital for future projects. Alice Hyde just completed a big project: The Alice Center, a complex that includes 135 skilled-nursing beds and 30 assisted-living units, replaced two aging nursing homes.

Meanwhile, Alice Hyde has to clear a few hurdles before its representatives sit down at the network table. Brumsted said the first step is a due-diligence process that runs for 90 days and requires all parties to open their books. If they are satisfied, they sign a binding agreement. New York regulators must then review the agreement. That means by the end of the year Alice Hyde could put up a new sign at its entrance denoting its new affiliation and name: UVM Health Network — Alice Hyde Medical Center. “Most people think it is a terrific move,” said Hugh Hill, a Malone village trustee and executive director of the local chamber of commerce. “There is a familiarity with Fletcher Allen. Most people are quite pleased with that relationship. This,” he added, “is a health care model beneficial to rural hospitals.” m

While Alice Hyde has jumped at the chance to join the network, the Northwestern Medical Center in St. Albans has chosen to remain outside the circle. It is similar in size to Alice Hyde and a mere 29 miles north of Burlington. Brumsted noted, “We have had conversations with them at the board and administrative levels, and we have a number of shared programs.” Jill Berry Bowen, Northwestern’s CEO, said the dialogue is ongoing.

urlington Police Chief Mike Schirling leaned back in a comfy chair in the office he’ll soon vacate and let slip a secret: He almost left Burlington once. Coming from anyone else, this would be unremarkable news. But Schirling grew up in a house in Burlington’s North End, graduated from the University of Vermont and spent his professional life at a police station within walking distance of his childhood home. He still lives in the city. His daughter attends Burlington High School; his son, UVM. But more than 15 years ago, Schirling was tempted to relocate. He applied to work at the FBI, survived the two-year application process and, in January 2001, was nearly through the bureau’s 10-week training program in Quantico, Va., when he got word he’d be assigned to Baltimore. He and his wife, Kathy, started house hunting. Within 48 hours, they came to the conclusion they didn’t feel comfortable in the often-violent city — one potential neighbor bragged that there hadn’t been a drive-by shooting in months. The couple returned to Burlington and never looked back. Had he stayed with the FBI, Schirling would have become a federal agent just months before the attacks of September 11, 2001, an experience that would have led to untold career opportunities. He recently talked with his roommate from the bureau’s training program, who just returned from a posting in Spain. But Schirling, 45, said he has no regrets about not joining the agency. “There have been a couple days when I wondered, you know, what would I be doing?” Schirling said. “But I wouldn’t trade this for anything. My kids got to grow up in a safe place where my wife and I grew up. Is there a better small city in the nation? I’ve found big cities I like and small towns I like. But in terms of in between, we’ve got the best.” After seven years as chief, Shirling is retiring in early July. Though he said he wants a break from police work, he isn’t quitting the Queen City. He leaves behind a police department with a reputation for being ahead of its time. “He could have succeeded in many places,” Mayor Miro Weinberger said of Schirling. “We are fortunate he chose to make a life and career here. His roots were one factor in his success as chief. He understands this community and its desire to chart a different, more publicly engaged course than many of the country’s police departments.”
Burlington Police Chief Mike Schirling
The mayor said he hopes to name Schirling’s successor by June 30. In hindsight, Schirling’s climb to the top of the 137-member Burlington Police Department looked inevitable. He started working part time for the department at age 19 while studying at UVM. After he graduated in 1992, the job became full time and Schirling steadily rose from patrol officer to detective. He stumbled on just one rung of the career
Law Enforcement ladder. In 1999, when he applied for a promotion to sergeant, Schirling was rejected. “Probably the best thing that ever happened to me,” he concluded. Why? Schirling was forced to stay in his posting as an investigator in the Chittenden Unit for Special Investigations. That group was just creating the statewide Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force, which
would come to handle tricky computer forensics cases for the entire state. Schirling briefly led the task force, which exposed him to the power of technology and innovative police practices — lessons he would carry for the rest of his career. “I would have missed the ability to really get involved and innovate for the first time, which gives you the feel for what you can do if you have the latitude,” Schirling said. “We got to do some cool stuff.” Before long, Schirling won the sergeant promotion, then rose to deputy chief and, when former chief Tom Tremblay took over the Vermont Department of Public Safety, the top job in 2008. Lean and tan, with an angular face and closely cropped gray hair, Schirling turned out to be a natural. He speaks in grammatically perfect sentences, has an aversion to cop clichés and exhibits an enthusiasm for governmental initiatives that can verge on nerdish. The outgoing chief talks excitedly about strategic plans and task forces and processes that tackle problems systematically. In 2010 Schirling began looking for a records-management system to finally wean the department from its antiquated paper process. When he failed to find anything that met his standards, Schirling, a self-described computer geek, decided to build his own. The resulting system, which the avid sailor named Valcour after a Lake Champlain island, is now used by dozens of other law-enforcement agencies across Vermont. Also early in his tenure, Schirling directed the department to following the principles of community policing, which emphasize taking the initiative to meet with residents and build relationships. The department now hosts an annual barbecue and open house and regular morning coffees with the public. Schirling also participated in a twoweek course for Burlington High School students as part of the school’s endof-the-year studies program. The first question came from a black student, who asked the city’s top cop: “I want to know why police are killing so many black men.” His answer, as he relayed it, was typical Schirling: willing to concede a problem, but filled with data and logic in defense of police. “We’ve got a lot of work to do,” Schirling recalled saying. “But it’s important to remember there are 1 million police officers in the country, 18,000

department also face a lawsuit brought by the widow of Wayne Brunette, a mentally ill man fatally shot by Cpl. Ethan Thibault in 2013. Police say that Brunette was wielding a shovel when he approached Thibault and another officer and ignored their commands to put it down. Although the department knew that Brunette was mentally ill, that information was apparently not relayed to the officers on the scene. “Not only did the city condone Cpl. Thibault’s actions as an acceptable use of deadly force, these unconstitutional practices are sanctioned under the Burlington Police Department’s policy for the use of deadly force,” reads Barbara Brunette’s federal suit.

the case and, to complicate things, he and the plaintiff are old friends. Lawyers for the department have filed a motion asking the judge to dismiss the lawsuit. Schirling has been on the front lines of another seemingly insoluble problem: Vermont’s opiate issue. “There are some indications that it’s worsening,” said the chief, noting that the city has seen an increase in overdose deaths and that officers are discovering ever more potent batches of heroin. Just last week, two brothers were found dead of suspected overdoses in a Ward Street home in Burlington’s Old North End. Schirling said he has no plans to return to law enforcement full time. He is exploring consulting opportunities both in law enforcement and technology, as well as full-time jobs that would allow him the opportunity to innovate. Although he wasn’t naming names last week, Schirling said to expect a new job announcement soon. If history is any indication, it’ll be right here in Burlington. m

police departments, and there are 1 million professional encounters between the police and public every day.” Schirling has been less focused on race relations in Burlington than on how cops interact with people who are mentally ill or struggle with substance abuse problems. He’s been a staunch supporter of the Howard Center Street Outreach Team, whose clinicians try to resolve conflicts before police have to be called. Matt Young, supervisor of the Street Outreach Team, said Schirling has been a great partner. The chief sought federal funds to hire an outreach clinician who works from the police station, and has told his officers to respect the team’s mission. Last year, Schirling began allowing outreach team members to carry police radios and respond directly to certain 911 calls. “I’m emotional about Michael leaving. He’s meant everything to us,” Young said. “When you’re working with a police department, you want the respect of all the officers. He’s created a culture that’s receptive to us, that gives us the room to do what we do. He’s allowed us the privilege of being in that culture. I wouldn’t say we have the respect of all the officers, but there’s top-down respect of our work and what we’re trying to accomplish.” Allen Gilbert, executive director of the Vermont chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union, conceded that the police department in Burlington has done a better job “dealing with issues presented by people undergoing some kind of mental health crisis” than others in the state. Schirling said he expects his successor will have fewer opportunities to implement such sweeping programs. The national debate about modern policing, spurred by controversial police shootings in Ferguson, Mo., and elsewhere, may have more influence on future changes, he said. “There will be fewer opportunities for wholesale innovation,” Schirling said. “There will be need for change, but a large cross section of that is going to be driven by the national climate.” Schirling’s tenure has not been without controversy. In 2012, the department caught heat when officers fired pepper spray and rubber bullets at oilpipeline protesters outside the Hilton hotel during the Conference of New England Governors.

When he took the stage Friday night at the Vermont Democratic Party’s annual David W. Curtis Leadership Awards dinner, Chittenden County State’s Attorney T.J. Donovan offered no indication of what office, if any, he might seek in 2016. By Sunday night, however, Donovan had made his decision: “I’ll be running for attorney general,” he told Seven Days. Donovan’s decision was the first of many expected of Vermont officeseekers as they react to Gov. Peter Shumlin’s June 8 announcement that he won’t seek reelection. The thirdterm county prosecutor had flirted with the idea of running for governor or Congress. But after spending Father’s Day weekend at home with his family, the 41-year-old father of two young children said it had become clear that attorney general was a better fit. This won’t be Donovan’s first run for the post. In 2012, he lost to incumbent Attorney General Bill Sorrell by just 714 votes after a hard-fought primary. The South Burlington resident doesn’t know if Sorrell will run for reelection. Sorrell, 68, who’s served as attorney general since 1997, said Saturday he won’t decide until the conclusion of an independent investigation into allegations he committed campaign finance violations. “I look forward to the truth

coming out,” Sorrell said. Many of the 350 Vermont Democrats who gathered Friday night hoped to learn who’s running for what offices in 2016. They came away with very few hints. The Vermont Democratic Party did, however, conspicuously give two rising stars a heightened platform. Donovan and Transportation Secretary Sue Minter won the annual Curtis Awards, as did Rutland County Democrats chair Kathy Hall. The awards are named after the late party activist David Curtis. Minter, who helped lead the state’s recovery efforts after the 2011 Tropical Storm Irene, has also been mentioned as a possible candidate for lieutenant
governor, governor or Congress. House Speaker Shap Smith (D-Morristown), another possible candidate for higher office, was in the interesting position of introducing Minter, praising her work as a former state representative from Waterbury, Irene recovery officer, deputy secretary and now secretary of transportation. In accepting the award, Minter launched into a campaign-style speech that carried enough national flavor to suggest she might be interested in a congressional seat. Instead of spending their time trying to repeal the Affordable Care Act, Minter said, Republicans in Washington, D.C., should fix the nation’s crumbling roads and
bridges. Instead of holding hearings on Benghazi, she said, Republicans should do something about climate change. Afterward, Minter declined to offer specifics about her future. “I’m just thrilled to have the job I have,” she said. “As things change, I’m going to keep my options open.” Minter acknowledged she’s been reminded recently that Vermont has elected just one female governor and has never sent a woman to Congress. “That’s something on my mind,” she said. Curtis’ son, Christopher, introduced Donovan by praising him for innovative criminal justice reforms, including a recent amnesty for those with suspended driver’s licenses. Donovan focused his speech on criminal justice. “We can continue with massive incarceration of drug addicts or acknowledge that criminal justice is the civil rights issue of our day,” he said. As Donovan soaked up stage time Friday night, Sorrell was notably absent. There was, quite literally, no sign of him. Banners for all the other Democratic statewide elected officeholders covered the wall behind the stage. Julia Barnes, executive director of the Vermont Democratic Party, said the party didn’t have a Sorrell banner to hang. T ER R I H A L L EN B EC K
Will Sanders’ Gun Record Haunt Him in the Democratic Primary? Ever since the National Rifle Association helped elect him to Congress in 1990, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) has had a complicated relationship with guns. In 1993, he opposed the Brady Bill, which mandated criminal background checks for gun buyers, but he supported a federal ban on assault weapons the next year. After a gunman opened fire on a Colorado movie theater in July 2012, killing 12 and injuring 70, Sanders told the Addison County Independent that “decisions about gun control should be made as close to home as possible — at the state level.” But after another gunman killed 20 children and six adults at Connecticut’s Sandy Hook Elementary School five months later, he voted for sweeping federal legislation to mandate background checks and ban the sale of assault weapons. In some respects, Sanders’ evolving position on gun laws mirrors that of
his Vermont constituents, who used to vociferously oppose gun control but now appear more open to it. But among the Democratic voters he’s courting in his run for president, many of Sanders’ past positions seem to be out of the mainstream. In a national poll conducted by Quinnipiac University last July, 80 percent of Democratic voters surveyed said they supported “stricter gun control laws,” while only 17 percent opposed them. Ninety-eight percent of Democrats favored the background checks Sanders once opposed. Following last Wednesday’s deadly shooting of eight parishioners and a pastor at a historically black Charleston, S.C., church, the issue has emerged in the presidential debate. While Sanders has run as a progressive alternative to former secretary of state Hillary Clinton, his record on firearms puts him well to the
right of Clinton and former Maryland governor Martin O’Malley, both of whom have consistently supported gun control measures.
.com
Sanders isn’t likely to raise the issue on his own. For two and a half months after the December 2012 Sandy Hook shooting, the senator ignored or declined Seven Days’ repeated requests for an interview on the subject. In January 2013, Sanders issued a press release intimating he would back President Barack Obama’s proposal to ban assault weapons and require universal background checks. But when
he finally granted an interview to Seven Days in March, Sanders appeared to back away from that position, saying, “If you passed the strongest gun control legislation tomorrow, I don’t think it will have a profound effect on the tragedies we have seen.” Asked whether he’d support Obama’s plan if it reached the Senate floor, he said, “We’ll see. We’ll see what other things it is part of.” Asked why he was on the fence about an assault-weapons ban he’d backed in 1994, Sanders interrupted mid-sentence, saying, “This is not one of my major issues. It’s an issue out there. I’ve told you how I feel about it. If there’s anything else you want to ask me about, I’m happy to answer. But that’s about it.” In the end, when the Senate voted on a version of the proposal in April 2013, Sanders supported it. PAU L HEI N T Z

Carole Anne Fontaine died peacefully on Thursday, June 18, at home in Colchester. She leaves her husband of 31 years, Norman Fontaine. She was the daughter of Alta and Raymond M. Palmer. Carole attended the Burlington school system and graduated from Burlington High School in 1969.

he heap of logs and the spewing smokestack at the base of the ridge on which an art museum sits in Glens Falls can be seen not as intrusive eyesores but as a fitting testament to how a superb collection of paintings came to the Adirondack foothills. The Finch Paper mill on the Hudson River hulks unapologetically below the museum as the source of the money used to purchase most of the 3,300 artworks in the Hyde Collection. They’re housed in the former home of Louis and Charlotte Pruyn Hyde that was built in 1912 on a ridge overlooking the mill. Most American museums are far more discreet regarding the fortunes that account for their holdings. For example, while the Frick Collection and the Morgan Library & Museum were named for their benefactors, those

notes, likening that first show to “my anchor store at the shopping mall.” Tobin finalizes his show selections by October or November, he says. Then he hires his directors — and years of experience have given him plenty to choose from. “I only hire a director who I know understands how I want the audience to feel at the end of the show,” Tobin says. “Once I get directors and we share the same idea, then my job is to help [them] reach their potential.” Auditions for actors, designers and other crew commence in January or February. As a member of the Council of Resident Stock Theatres, SMP has to offer a certain number of tryouts in New York City. “There are lots of regulations about how we can do things,” Tobin says. For example, “If I have a cast of six, we can have one nonunion actor,” he explains. During New York auditions, Tobin and the directors see more than 200 actors in a day, for several days. “We go deep, making second, third and fourth choices,” Tobin says. Sometimes he and a director will disagree on a casting choice;

for bringing four productions to the SMP stage each summer. After the season ends, he says, he’s a bit like the Wizard of Oz, making things happen behind the curtain. But if the job is sometimes lonely, choosing the shows is his favorite part, Tobin says. And it’s not as simple as it sounds. He starts by making a multitude of lists: “I put four show names [on paper] and visually see how they work together,” Tobin explains. “It comes together after months of permutations. Then I see if I can get the rights.” He also has to find the perfect balance of shows both thematically and financially. The current season is a good illustration of that balance: It includes a Broadway show with many actors, dozens of costumes and elaborate sets (Spamalot); a new adaptation of a classic thriller (Wait Until Dark); a John Patrick Shanley romantic comedy (Outside Mullingar); and a musical bio of an iconic folk singer (Woody Guthrie’s American Song). Pared-down productions for three of the shows enable Tobin to afford a whizbang season kickoff, he
t’s the best seat in the house, and it’s not even in the house. CHUCK TOBIN’s second-floor office at the MCCARTHY ARTS CENTER at Saint Michael’s College has a veritable picture window overlooking the auditorium. That’s where the SAINT MICHAEL’S PLAYHOUSE occupies the proscenium stage with four productions every summer. Right now, it’s a stellar and riotously silly one: Monty Python’s Spamalot. In an interview in his neat-as-a-pin office, Tobin admits he gets emotional when the season ends. “I cry at the end of every summer season,” he says. “I go from all this activity to feeling like the rug has been pulled out from under me.” It’s no wonder he’s so attached. This year, the 68th for the Playhouse, marks 30 years of Tobin’s involvement with the Actors’ Equity Association theater company — first, in 1986, as an actor; and soon after as associate producer under founders Donald and Joanne Rathgeb. Tobin became managing director in 1997, and since 2007 has been the Playhouse’s first-ever producing artistic director. Now 57, Tobin is solely responsible

Manhattan cultural institutions don’t advertise their founders as 19th-century robber barons who became wealthy by exploiting their workers. Ditto for the Museum of Modern Art, seeded
with booty from John D. Rockefeller’s Standard Oil Company. Finch Paper, which today provides the southern Adirondacks with 750 jobs, was established in 1865, at the dawn of
the industrial era that made Glens Falls something of a boom town. One of the company’s original partners, Samuel Pruyn, was the father of Charlotte Pruyn Hyde, the heiress who chose about twothirds of the paintings, drawings and tapestries bought with profits from the mill. Charlotte Pruyn (1867-1963) was sent to finishing school in Boston, where

TheaTer sometimes an actor will be unavailable for a given play. “And I have to do this for all four shows at once!” Tobin says. Despite all the juggling, casts and crew are in place by March. Rehearsals begin just two weeks before the first show opens. “I’ve got to hire people who can work that fast,” Tobin says. He’s not complaining, though. With a big smile, he declares himself “the luckiest guy in the world with my job.” Tobin’s history with St. Mike’s actually dates back more than 30 years. His first role was that of college student, class of 1980. “I did theater here and interned [at the Playhouse] after my junior year,” Tobin says. “That really solidified my interest in theater.” His love life solidified during those years, too. Tobin met the woman who would become his wife, Sarah Carleton, on the very first night of college. She’s now an associate professor and resident director at the UniverSity of vermont Department of theatre. This summer, she’s directing Wait Until Dark for SMP. Both Tobin and Carleton left the area after graduating, and ended up working
for a theater company in Washington, D.C. But after touring in two Shakespeare productions, Tobin says, “I was getting bored with acting. The logistics were more interesting to me.” In their nonunion company, the actors had to do everything from booking gigs to making costumes. “That turned me on to the bigger picture,” he says. Tobin still entered an MFA program in acting at the Catholic University of America — as did Carleton. He dropped out after a semester. “I just realized it wasn’t what I wanted to do,” Tobin recalls. While Carleton finished her degree, he spent two and a half years working for various theater companies in D.C. “It was as if I assembled my own MFA program,” he says. The couple, married by this point, spent a summer teaching theater in Poland “at the height of the Solidarity movement,” Tobin says. After more travel in Europe, they returned to jobs back home — both are from the Boston area. And Carleton got pregnant. CHuCk TObin

f the words “poetry of place” make you feel like dozing off, the depictions of Vermont in NeIl shepard’s new collection Hominid Up should rouse you. There are no placidly lifeaffirming pastoral landscapes here. Instead, let’s sample the mood of “From Hayden’s Shack, I Can See to the End of Vermont.” The poem starts quietly enough, with a speaker watching dusk fall and reflecting on how This old dairy state’s Adjusting — just fine, thanks! — packing up its milk and maple buckets, parceling farms, plunking down silver in the shape of ski chalets, new bridges and ridgeroads to get there. They’re moving higher up. Ayup. This state’s adjusting fine to darker doings, coating itself in silver.

As the poem (dedicated to the late Vermont poet Hayden Carruth) continues, Shepard’s tone grows as dark as the midwinter evening his narrator contemplates. After swipes at the leadership of Burlington and Montpelier and at “Church / Street commodified,” Shepard zeroes in on development as an encroaching, malevolent force that

… Strips the locals of control, strips “the local” from our minds: local color washed, rinsed, blanched. By the end of the poem, we may find ourselves reinterpreting its title: “The end of Vermont” is not a place but a point in time, and that time is nigh. There’s a distinct “bite and sting” here — a phrase Shepard uses to describe his eponymous method in the collection’s final poem, “Blackfly Poetics.” But, if Shepard excels at being a local variant of the gadfly, Hominid Up as a whole is no polemic about the state of the Green Mountain State. First, as the title’s play on the phrase “man up” indicates, Shepard’s reach and concerns are considerably wider than Homo vermontensis. Of the 48 poems here, only the last 13 appear to

have Vermont settings; among the other places that Shepard evokes in crystalline detail are Manhattan, the Deep South and the Maine coast. Second, while some of the poet’s messages aren’t subtle, his language and imagery aren’t those of the soapbox orator. The author of five previous poetry collections, Shepard founded Johnson State College’s Green Mountains Review and is retired from longtime directorship of the school’s writing program. His turns of phrase can be graceful, clever or both. In “Ersatz Cats,” city cats kept indoors have “lost / the knack for that hacksaw from the prison / of the literal.” In “Am I Blue,” a motif of blue-state politics bleeds into one of blue notes (several of these poems first appeared in Brilliant Corners: A Journal of Jazz & Literature). In “The Preparation,” a phrase turns itself inside out: “in the outcome / out the income.” In “Connecticut,” Shepard adorns a pitiless snapshot of human-driven climate change with an ironic allusion to Keats’ imagery of the unspoiled new world. While the title poem imagines the primitive man within the civilized one, individual human foibles aren’t Shepard’s primary subject. Rather, he weaves the people of his poems into intricate tapestries of place that contain threads both dark and light, old and new. A “Woman Crossing Broadway at 106th” becomes the fierce focus for a word painting of an urban thunderstorm. In

“Tracking Birds and Gullah Speakers,” a South Carolina museum curator gives voice to a whole history of oppression. And in “Lobster Pots,” hungry tourists become representatives of “greed and profit and marketshare.” Using people to embody whole social classes and forces is a tricky business, but Shepard generally pulls it off without dreary didacticism. He’s at his “blackfly” best when he gets inside the skins of these representative humans, such as the American TV viewers in “No” who try and fail to grasp the horror of the 2011 Japanese tsunami. Until disaster happens to us, Shepard suggests, we can towel our faces clean kiss good morning to our loved ones, walk outside to a world that is still green, unlock our cars, climb in, and tune out the catastrophic news on the radio… […] … tune it out, tune to music, to a tune we remember from sixteen, when the world, and all memory, was green…
both thematically and financially.
“I like being the one with the vision, doing the whole creative piece,” he says. Except for his avid pursuit of outdoor activities, Tobin’s life revolves around theater, a passion and career he shares not only with his wife but with his daughter. Lilly, now 28, has just earned her Equity contract as an actor, Tobin says proudly. His home away from home is his office-witha-view; his other family the casts and crews and his fellow denizens of McCarthy Arts. And he would make even more theater happen if he could. “If I could wave a magic wand,” says Tobin, “I would direct a couple of shows during the winter, too.” m

“Before we had Lilly, Don [Rathgeb] called to offer us roles in the summer,” Tobin says. “Sarah did two roles pregnant.” For a couple of seasons after that, he returned to St. Mike’s to help out as associate producer. Carleton, who had been teaching in the New York area, took the job at UVM; the same year, Rathgeb retired (his wife had died several years earlier). Since founding SMP, the Rathgebs had run it themselves. Now college officials decided to bring the company in-house and hired Tobin as its managing director. At first he had colleagues: co-artistic directors Catherine hurst and Peter harrigan, both of whom still teach in the college’s theater program. But since 2004, Tobin has held the reins. His first show that year was Noël Coward’s Private Lives.

While this poem has its thudding notes (a play on green landscape and green money; an instantly dated reference to America’s preoccupation with “the tiger blood of Charlie Sheen”), its descriptions of pervasive, willful denial ring true. We hominids, it seems, are endlessly ingenious when it comes to ignoring the history — and sometimes the dire prophecies — that are written on our landscape. That message is brought home by a Vermont-set poem called “Excoriating Ghosts,” in which Shepard gets a lesson from an old-timer about the history of his Johnson home. The conclusions he reaches are nearly as damning as those of the more polemical “Hayden’s Shack” — yet more elegiac and elegant. After his glimpse of the village’s hardscrabble beginnings, the poet sets aside his private landscaping ambitions and acknowledges, gazing out at the town cemetery, that “this land’s been spoken for.” But an equally revelatory glimpse of its future is forbidden him: The night sky of June is “bright enough / to see ghosts by but not bright enough to see / beyond them toward the land’s future shape.” m

“transformational” gift. The ABC News anchorman and political correspondent gave 128 photographs, including images by Henri Cartier-Bresson and Garry Winogrand, to a museum that had lacked substantial holdings in that medium. Stephanopoulos does not have a personal connection to the Hyde; he explained in a prepared statement that he simply regards the Glens Falls institution as “the perfect home” for his collection. Charles Guerin,themuseum’s director at the time Stephanopoulos made his donation, was more forthcoming. “The great breadth of photography history, as well as the variety of national origins represented by this generous gift by Mr. Stephanopoulos, makes this a truly exciting and important moment for the growth of our permanent collection,” Guerin declared in a written statement. (Erin Coe, the collection’s former chief curator who takes over as director next month, was unavailable for an interview.) Despite its status as one of the finest museums in the Northeast outside Boston and New York City, the Hyde doesn’t attract packs of art hounds. Annual attendance hovers around the 25,000 mark, meaning that fewer than 100 visitors show up on any given day. An aura of tranquility envelops the museum and the garden at its rear. Museum educator Michael Coughlin sat on a stool in the flowering garden last Saturday afternoon as he led a class of two in pencil sketching. It could have been a vignette by Renoir — although the impressionist painter would surely have omitted the paper mill visible behind the students. m

Botticelli to Kandinsky, with no focus on any particular artist or period. The home is sprinkled with outstanding examples of work by old masters such as Rembrandt, Rubens, El Greco and Tiepolo. Especially notable is “Head of a Negro” (the Hyde titles it “Head of a Moor”), Rubens’ handsome portrait of a pensive and unnamed African man painted around 1620. Hyde also collected postimpressionists such as Seurat, van Gogh and Cézanne, the last of whom is represented by a lovely little watercolor of trees. She picked up a Picasso from 1905, “Boy Holding a Blue Vase,” that demonstrates the visual wizardry of the then-24-year-old artist. Some of the strongest works in the Hyde Collection are by 19th-century American painters. Thomas Eakins, for example, composed a striking portrait of fellow artist Henry Ossawa Tanner that hangs in a stairway in the two-story home. The subject of George Bellows’ “Old Lady With Bonnet” resembles an aristocratic zombie. The museum owns an especially impressive selection of engravings and etchings by Winslow Homer, along with a couple of paintings by that artist famed, in part, for his Adirondack scenes. Two dozen of the Hyde’s Homers are grouped in a special exhibit that runs through September 16. Later in life, Charlotte plunged into the market for 20th-century American art and emerged with fine specimens of work by Arthur Dove, Dorothy Dehner and Keith Haring. Many of the modern pieces are displayed in a wing of the museum built in 1984 that also includes offices and workshops for the Hyde’s education program. The museum is currently hosting “The Late Drawings of Andy Warhol: 1973-1987,” a show featuring several sheets that are on public display for the first time.

Uber Über Alles? minutes, or sometimes three. There is a timer. You get a yellow light when you have a minute remaining, and a red one when your time is up. I, for one, appreciate the traffic-light scheme. With my heart pounding — because it’s scary to speak publicly — I’ve delivered my impassioned point of view. “The city has told Uber it is operating illegally,” I expounded, “but months have gone by, and nothing is being done to shut it down. Why do the local cabbies — dozens of us — have to follow the rules, but this one company gets a pass? I don’t mind competition, but on a level playing field.”
I’m really tryIng not to obsess, but
my dander is up and i’ve got to see it through. As I spoke, it appeared to me that the council members were seriously listening. But I also know, from decades of experience, that the regulation of taxis is far down on the list of those well-meaning elected officials’ pressing concerns. I doubted whether my words, and those of other cabbies, would spur meaningful action. Finally Mayor Miro Weinberger came up with a plan, one that is scheduled for a city council up-or-down vote during the June 29 meeting. He realized, I imagine, that the ongoing illegal operation of a major Burlington cab company was untenable. So I give him credit for doing something. The mayor’s proposed solution, however, has hit my fairness bone like a sledgehammer. He is asking the council to authorize an “operating agreement” that would apply to Uber, and Uber alone. In other words, while every other taxi company would still have to follow the existing taxi ordinance, Uber would be subject to its own personalized set of rules. And, lo and behold, with minor tweaks, the Uber rules allow the company to keep operating exactly as it has been. How convenient!
The mayor said at a June 1 council meeting that this was “no big deal,” given that at least 20 other municipalities have passed similar agreements to facilitate Uber’s operation. To me, this sounds like “Hey, all the other kids are doing it.” The mayor didn’t say that many cities and towns — not to mention entire countries, including Germany, France and Korea — are fighting tooth and nail to force Uber to comply with established rules. Rather than leveling the playing field, the mayor’s proposal would erect an entirely separate field for one company. And that company just happens to be a multinational, multi-billion-dollar corporation. When Republican presidential candidates such as Marco Rubio and Paul Rand are asked about their plans to advance the national economy, they regularly mention Uber. I find that telling. I recently had lunch with a friend who graciously allowed me to vent about this. After hearing me out, he raised what I thought was a great question: If Bernie Sanders was still mayor, how would he respond to Uber? I want to believe he would fight for the little guy. I don’t know how all this will ultimately play out in the Queen City. Ironically, given my fervency, the appearance of Uber has scarcely hurt my own business.

o, Jernigan,” a regular customer asked me as I drove her home on a recent Thursday night, “what do you think of Uber?” “Don’t get me started,” I replied. If I chuckled, it was forced, because Uber is not one of my favorite things. For those out of the loop, the first thing to know is that Uber is not a taxi company. Its drivers pick up people who need rides from, let’s say, Point A and transport them to Point B. For this service, these passengers pay Uber money, which is divided between Uber and the Uber driver. But don’t call Uber a taxi company, because it’s not. And how do we know this? Because Uber says so. I say, if you walk, talk and squawk like a duck, you’re either a duck or doing a mean impersonation of a duck. For months, Uber has operated illegally in Burlington. This is not just my opinion. The city attorney sent this non-taxi company an official letter informing it that it is operating in violation of the city taxi ordinance. Which was probably a strange letter for Uber to receive. I picture the owners huddled around a table. “What does this even mean?” they say to one another, bewildered and indignant. “We are not a taxi company. Haven’t we made that clear to all concerned? Don’t they know that we changed our original company name from UberCab to Uber precisely to avoid this confusion?” There’s a reason Uber declaims loudly and often that it is not a taxi company. If it were, it would be subject to the laws governing the operation of taxis in every town, state and country it entered. And Uber really, really doesn’t want to follow those taxi laws. Among other nuisances, that would entail having its cabs and drivers licensed. “No need,” the owners say. Because — all together now — “We are not a taxi company!” This logic is Orwellian, and it makes this longtime licensed Burlington cab driver nuts. Can you tell? A couple of times over the past few months, I have taken my concerns to city council meetings. Before the councilors get down to the issues of the day, they set aside time for public comments.

THE STRAIGHT DOPE BY CECIL ADAMS
Dear Cecil,
What is it with car alarms? They go off 24-7 for any or no reason to create a constant urban din. Do they deter any thefts, are they required by law or are they just a way to lard on the features? Samuel Press, shell-shocked in Vermont

— the CEM configuration, in Farrell argot. 8. There’s your opening, alarm haters — you can get equivalent protection without the racket. Understand, we’re talking strictly about theft of the car; separate SPF ratings are calculated for protection against theft of a car’s contents. In the latter category ACET trounces CEM 6.6 to 2.5 — a noisy alarm offers more protection against somebody stealing a car stereo. What’s more important, though — your stereo or your neighbors’ sanity? We’ll have to give that some thought. But at least there’s an argument to be made.

research suggests. We learn this from Farrell et al (2010), who use the straightforward method of comparing (a) the number of cars with a given antitheft technology against (b) the number of cars with that technology that get stolen. Sixty-three percent of cars have alarms, we learn (based on UK data), whereas only 41 percent of stolen cars have alarms. Fortyone is 35 percent less than 63. Ergo, car alarms are 35 percent effective in deterring theft. 2. This is considerably less potent than what Farrell’s numbers suggest is the single most effective antitheft measure, namely a tracking device on your car that lets the cops (or you) determine its whereabouts if bad guys abscond with it. Effectiveness: 77 percent. 3. On the other hand, car alarms work better than the most common antitheft measure nowadays, central locking (powered door locks controlled by a button on the key or fob) — 32 percent effective. And they’re way better than window security etching (inscribing the vehicle ID number
the scheme used to rate sunscreen. The higher the SPF the better; a car having an antitheft device or devices with an SPF of 10 is 10 times less likely to be stolen than a car having no security. 6. A car alarm all by itself, according to Farrell and company, has an SPF of just 1.2, whereas central locking is rated 2.7. (This appears to contradict the results reported in paragraph three for reasons not explained — ask Farrell.) But an alarm plus central locking has an SPF of 5. Pile on the technologies and the multiplier effect becomes more pronounced. At the top of Farrell’s list of antitheft technologies, with an SPF of 25.4, is the following fourplex: central locking plus an ignition killswitch plus a tracking device plus, yes, an alarm. Farrell calls this the ACET configuration. 7. This isn’t helping, you say. Patience. A close second on the list of efficacious antitheft packages, with a 25.2 SPF, is central locking plus an ignition kill switch plus a steeringwheel lock but no damn alarm
CARAMAN
L
isten, Samuel, if you’re tormented by the constant urban din of Vermont, you’ve got a pretty low annoyance threshold. I’m going to work on the assumption you’re a refugee from New York, where historically car alarms have been more of an issue (although speaking as a big-city habitué I’d say this is one irritant that may have crested a good 20 years ago). Browsing on the interwebs I find a claim from back in 2003 that noisy car alarms cost New Yorkers $400 million annually, based on an ingenious but basically harebrained calculation of the extent to which car alarms diminish the quality of life for those in hearing range. One wants to say: Suck it up, crybabies. Admittedly that’s the attitude of someone not currently being driven bats by a blaring alarm, and one wants to be supportive of one’s fellow city dwellers. So here’s the best case I can make for why car alarms should be banned. 1. Car alarms have middling, but certainly some, effectiveness as a theft deterrent,
on the glass), 14 percent, or mechanical steering-wheel locks, 7 percent. In fact, cars with the latter two antitheft measures experience more theft attempts, leading one to wonder what exactly the detailers are inscribing on those windows: Bet you can’t steal this car? 4. This is off the track of my argument, but since you asked, car alarms aren’t required in the U.S., and I haven’t heard of them being required elsewhere. Canada, Australia and many European countries require “electronic immobilization” — put simply, ignition kill switches. Are alarms and such an excuse to add on extras? I suppose, but the common view is that the real security ripoff isn’t an alarm; it’s window etching. 4. Up to this point, things aren’t looking good for the anticar-alarm crusade. No worries. The question of interest isn’t whether car alarms work, but whether other less obnoxious technologies work as well or better. Answer: absolutely. As we’ve seen, vehicle-tracking devices are the most effective antitheft measure, and it appears combinations of measures are more effective yet. 5. To quantify the efficaciousness of vehicle antitheft devices, Farrell and friends in a 2011 paper presented a metric they called “security protection factor,” or SPF, along the lines of

Hiking Dawn broke like an egg yolk over the Adirondacks, a pale orange glow that lured this trail runner from beneath the inn’s fur blanket even earlier than usual. Forty-eight degrees, not yet 6:30 a.m. and crisp, it was the perfect morning to head up Cobble Hill, a 2,332-foot molehill near Northwood School. On the loop around Mirror Lake that leads to Cobble’s trailhead, 46 concrete markers list the High Peaks — Gothics, Nippletop and the rest — offering a preview of the actual mountains to come. Though Cobble Hill is a popular lunchtime hike, according to local Sandy Caligiore, not another soul was in sight during my 1.6-mile slog along Echo Lake and up through sopping leaves and streambeds to the summit. Muddy shoes were well worth the views of Lake Placid and the Olympic Jumping Complex. For hikers who want to start earning their Forty-Sixer badges, “Cascade

relentless rain accompanied a recent ferry ride and drive over to the Adirondacks, doing nothing to improve the piss-poor public-relations image that upstate New York had endured since the escape of convicts Richard Matt and David Sweat. But as I pulled into the town of Lake Placid, the sun began to sparkle in a cloud break across Mirror Lake, and the picture turned more auspicious. The eponymous inn would be base camp for my exploration of the surrounding wilderness by wheels, feet and paddles in less than 24 hours. I’d set myself a daunting task: More than 2,000 marked hiking trails spiderweb the 6-million-acre Adirondack Park, the largest such system in the nation. The park offers just as many bicycle routes. For those who prefer to go by water, meandering rivers and a long necklace of loon-topped lakes make canoes, kayaks and, these days, standup paddleboards as de rigueur in the ’Dacks as Chris Craft boats once were. Sampling it all is a tough job, but somebody’s gotta do it.

(Forty-Sixers get those badges by climbing all the High Peaks that top 4,000 feet — technically, 45 do, but one slipped through the cracks.) Bragging rights aside, Collier continued, “My personal favorite is St. Regis Mountain.” At 2,874 feet, that one’s not a High Peak, but has gentle grades and va-va-voom views. Mount Marcy is the big mama, stretching 5,344 feet toward the sky; find the trailhead at the Adirondack Loj in Lake Placid. Prefer to get under the Adirondacks? At the Natural Stone Bridge and Caves in Pottersville, families without claustrophobic members can explore a waterfall-filled marble gorge.

Not exactly. Skinny road-bike tires aren’t suitable for this converted rail bed, which snakes 16 miles through the Adirondack Forest Preserve, over tree roots and beaver-dammed spots. And the damn trailhead was nearly as

For little legs not ready to tackle singletrack or steeps, however, this route is just right.

That’s where geocaching comes in. The GPS-based treasure hunt sends pedestrians on a search for caches, each containing a set number of points based on difficulty, which they can then enter into a downloadable passport. While the geocaching trend has been crisscrossing the globe for years, last month the Adirondack Coast Visitors Bureau launched its own trail. Thirty-five cache locations along the western side of Lake Champlain are worth a total of 100 points; amass them all and you get a special coin. But the thrill of the chase — for innocuous coordinates, not escaped convicts — may be priceless.

season unfurls more slowly here than in Burlington, and blooming lilacs added to a lemony scent hovering on the water. I had time to look at the antique vessels — one named Schwing Ding, aka Slow & Smooth — in their carefully constructed dockhouses, to examine the lily pads and to listen to the frogs. Sure, a shirtless doofus was taking selfies from every possible angle, and a “Danger Thin Ice” sign on a deck offered a rude reminder of winter. But seeing kids dive into the lake was one of my best backcountry experiences of the season. Lake Placid — the lake — which nearly touches Mirror Lake, is another fine spot for, well, placid paddling.

s beautiful as Lake George is, Georgia O’Keeffe made it even more striking in her many paintings of the mountain-rimmed, blue-green waters. She painted that New York landscape in starlight, in orange and yellow autumnal hues, in velvety layers of blue on blue. In all, O’Keeffe completed some 225 paintings of the resort area from 1918 to 1934. During those years, she spent part of every summer, and sometimes fall, in this town at the southern tip of the Adirondack Park, 35 miles from the Vermont border. O’Keeffe continued to visit the lake until 1946, yet her connection to the region is virtually a footnote to her famous biography in the public’s mind. One of the most notable American artists of the 20th century, O’Keeffe is best known for her association with a very different place: New Mexico, the land of bleached cow skulls and desert flowers. That’s where she based her life and her art from the 1930s until her death in 1986 at the age of 98. Still, art historians agree that O’Keeffe’s time in Lake George also played a significant role in her development as an artist. There she painted poppies, canna lilies and petunias in early examples of the enlarged flower paintings for which she would become famous. Long walks and still moments in the orchards, meadows and gardens on the Lake George property where she lived honed her sensitivities to the natural world. “It really provided her with a visual foundation for her later career,” explains Erin B. Coe, director of the Hyde Collection in nearby Glens Falls and cocurator of the critically acclaimed 2013 exhibit “Modern Nature: Georgia O’Keeffe and Lake George.” The region was even more important to another major art figure of the 20th century: O’Keeffe’s husband, the photographer Alfred Stieglitz, who summered on Lake George for most of his life, and whose ashes remain there. He took most of his famous portraits of O’Keeffe — with her long, slender fingers; ink-dark eyes; womanly body and almost mannish face — in New York City, where they spent the winter. But the series includes some portraits from their time in Lake George. Despite all that history, today it’s hard to find any signs of O’Keeffe, or of Stieglitz, in this tourist haven that’s chockablock with motels, mini-golf and water slides. The local historical society has a small

display about the couple at the old red brick courthouse in the center of town. But the organization’s office is closed, possibly to reopen in July, according to a sign on the dusty door. One mile north of Lake George Village on Route 9N, a small historical marker stands on a clump of grass near the hillside property where O’Keeffe and Stieglitz lived. The sign was erected in 2012 by local art lovers and Coe, who spent five years researching O’Keeffe’s presence in Lake George. The hilltop farmhouse where the artistic couple summered, in the company of members of Stieglitz’s family, is gone. So are the outbuildings — the “shanty” where O’Keeffe painted, the barns she depicted, the darkroom where Stieglitz printed his photos, the poplars and oaks that appear in both their works. A developer purchased
the 37-acre property in the late 1950s and had the structures burned in a practice fire drill, as Coe relates in an essay published in the “Modern Nature” catalog. He then built the hodgepodge of ranch homes that now occupy the property. “Everything’s gone. There’s nothing left. It’s a 1960s suburban subdivision,” Coe says. People still come looking for the Stieglitz farmhouse, only to be disappointed, says Jephson Hilary, an art and antiques lover who lives with his wife, Barbara, in one of the few older homes remaining on the hill. The Hilarys operated an inn at the foot of the property for almost two decades and sold it last year. They, like the current owners of the Inn on the Hill, promoted the O’Keeffe connection and often encountered visitors who wanted to see the white clapboard farm where the artist lived. “They do these pilgrimages and come looking for the house. And that’s the sad thing, because it ain’t here,” Hilary says. A British expat whose well-appointed living room speaks to a love of old things, Hilary supposes that back when the hill
was scraped of the old farm buildings, a different mentality was in place. “There was no saving of anything. This was the ’50s,” he laments. “We wanted to flatten everything.” Why isn’t there more local recognition of O’Keeffe and Stieglitz? “I don’t know,” Hilary says. The essential blotting out of the summer homestead of two famous 20th-century artists is “just a great shame,” he notes. O’Keeffe visited Lake George briefly in 1908 as a 21-year-old art student but didn’t begin coming as a summer resident until 10 years later with the much older Stieglitz. At that time, he was her married lover and a New York City art-world insider helping to launch her career. The couple spent a few summers on the lakeshore at the formal Stieglitz family summer estate, Oaklawn. Stieglitz’s father had purchased the Queen Anne-style mansion in 1886 and added the farm across the street to his holdings in 1891. Oaklawn was sold in 1919, and that farm became the summer home for the family, including O’Keeffe and Stieglitz, who would marry in 1924. The formal estate still stands as part of a condo time-share development. The exterior wears a modern skin — newish siding and roofing — that makes it difficult to discern the historic home underneath. A plaque at the front door notes its significance. It was on the shoreline near Oaklawn that O’Keeffe scattered Stieglitz’s ashes — at least some of them — in 1946. A few years later, in 1949, she made New Mexico her permanent home. The changes to the places O’Keeffe inhabited at Lake George make it difficult to imagine her life there in the 1920s, but Coe offers a helpful description of the artist’s routine in the museum catalog. O’Keeffe walked into the village for her mail every day, passing the summer tourists, the souvenir hawkers and the highspeed trolley to Glens Falls. She sometimes hiked the two-mile trail to Prospect Mountain. She would have seen steamers coming and going along the 32-mile-long Lake George. Especially in her later years, when O’Keeffe was focused on the spare, open landscapes of the Southwest, she described Lake George as almost oppressively green, and declared it not painting country. Although the Stieglitz family had a housekeeper, O’Keeffe expressed occasional frustration in letters to friends about the
interruption of her creative work by household duties and obligations toward the extended Stieglitz clan at Lake George. She escaped much of that, and perhaps her husband’s Svengali role, when she began spending time in New Mexico circa 1929. In her younger days, though, when O’Keeffe was still in the throes of deep passion for Stieglitz, she sometimes raved about the beauty of the Lake George landscape in her correspondence with artist and writer friends. The place certainly made an impression. Aspects of O’Keeffe’s lasting vision as an artist took root in Lake George, says Katherine Hoffman, professor and chair of the fine arts department at Saint Anselm College in Manchester, N.H., and the author of several books about O’Keeffe and Stieglitz. “Some of her landscape sensibility and sense of the play of light and shadow and water and so on, I think that’s reflected in her Lake George paintings,” Hoffman says. O’Keeffe repeatedly painted the fallen leaves, the poppies of early summer, the apples in the orchard and, especially, the view of the lake from the farmhouse on
the hill that rose steeply from the water. The view is one of the few ways fans of O’Keeffe can connect to the artist in today’s Lake George. A short walk up Hill Drive brings a pedestrian to a perch with an overlook of the lake not unlike O’Keeffe’s perspective 90 years ago. “You look at essentially what is her view,” Coe says. “That’s unchanged.” Without the farmhouse property, it’s difficult for the village of Lake George to create the sort of artist tourism that flourishes in New Mexico, Coe notes. There, visitors can go to the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum in Santa Fe, as well as to her home and ranch, which are almost undisturbed. “You know you are in O’Keeffe country,” Coe says. Another missing link in Lake George is actual work by O’Keeffe. No paintings exist in local museums such as the Hyde or the Chapman Historical Museum in Glens Falls, six miles from Lake George; or at the Adirondack Museum in Blue Mountain Lake. Nor is one of these small institutions likely to acquire an O’Keeffe work, given their going rate, unless it’s

through a bequest. Last year, a white flower painting by O’Keeffe sold for $44.4 million at auction, a record at the time for a female artist. For the O’Keeffe “Modern Nature” exhibit, Coe borrowed some 60 works from museums and collectors, a mammoth task and a triumph of perseverance. The exhibit traveled to Santa Fe and San Francisco, attracting many visitors and
raising the profile of the artist’s connection to Lake George. But now the O’Keeffe paintings of the lake, the barns and the poppies have gone back to their owners. Stieglitz gave photos to the family’s beloved housekeeper, Margaret Prosser, and some of those remain in the region — one owned by the Hyde. Both the housekeeper and O’Keeffe sometimes rescued Stieglitz’s prints from the trash bin after he discarded them because they didn’t meet his standards, according to Coe. While more Stieglitz photos could reside in attics or chests in Lake George, that’s unlikely, given his renown. It’s even less likely that someone might discover a lost O’Keeffe painting lying about. Not only has the artist grown more famous over time, but she worked primarily in oil and hence produced art in much less volume than her husband. Hilary has found nothing in the nooks and crannies of his own house. “Believe me, I’ve looked,” he says. He agrees with Coe that O’Keeffe paintings probably won’t materialize in a dusty Lake George shed or basement any time soon: “I would think probably anybody who’s got half a brain would have cashed in on it long since.” m Contact: molly@sevendaysvt.com

in the deep wounds of American soldiers injured in the Iraq war. As president and CEO Ronald Goldfarb explains, the Trudeau Institute also faces challenges unrelated to the never-ending germ warfare raging at the microscopic level.

annual budget, employs about 65 researchers and support staff, down from a high of 150 a decade ago. “Small, independent research laboratories in the United States are an endangered species,” says Goldfarb, who joined Trudeau in 2013 in part to help it chart a new course. But things are turning around, Goldfarb insists, as the institute builds a more sustainable business model. That has meant moving away from some of the big-picture research that has long served to underpin major medical breakthroughs. In its place, he explains, researchers now do more “bench-to-bedside” research — or studies aimed at producing new medical products and procedures that benefit patients in clinical settings. That course correction could be seen as marking a return to the institute’s roots, as E.L. Trudeau’s own work began with the pragmatic goal of healing sufferers of TB — including himself. In June 1873, Trudeau, then a 25-year-old physician in New York City, traveled to Saranac Lake to live out what he believed would be the final days of his life. Trudeau had just been diagnosed with consumption, which had claimed the life of his older brother seven years earlier. At the time,

understanding of how infectious diseases arise and spread. Today, the Trudeau Institute, which is located on a 42-acre campus overlooking Lower Saranac Lake, remains at the cutting edge of immunological research into the treatment and prevention of infectious diseases. Besides TB, subjects of study there include influenza, cancer, bacterial sepsis and a drug-resistant form of Acinetobacter baumannii, or “Iraqibacter” — named for its appearance

r. Andrea Cooper has a hypothesis: For the human body’s immune system to combat a disease, cells must “talk” to one another. Cooper theorizes that if she can decipher the complex language of cell communication, then perhaps she can discover a password that unlocks the infected cells’ defensive walls. That would allow the body’s own “commandos,” or T cells, to get inside and kill the infection. Cooper, a lead immunological researcher at the Trudeau Institute in Saranac Lake, N.Y., is trying to lay siege to one of humanity’s oldest and most entrenched foes: tuberculosis. Known for centuries as the “captain of death,” “the white plague” or simply “consumption” — for its tendency to wither its victims over months or years — the bacterial disease is considered the greatest killer in human history. According to a February 2015 PBS special called “The Forgotten Plague,” by the dawn of the 19th century, TB had claimed the lives of one in seven people who’d ever lived. Despite the past 60 years of breakthroughs in antibiotics and drug therapies, TB has yet to be conquered; if anything, Cooper says, the disease continues to evolve and grow stronger, constantly spawning new, extensively drug-resistant strains. Today, three billion people worldwide are reported to be infected with TB, 90 percent of whom show no symptoms of the disease. New infections occur at a rate of one every second. “It is one of the major public health issues in our community, and when I say ‘our community,’ I mean the world,” Cooper says. “So it’s not ‘their’ problem. It’s our problem.” Cooper, a native of Lancashire, England, works in a facility that’s at the forefront of tackling that problem. The Trudeau Institute has a long history of discovering new methods of combating TB and many other infectious diseases. The nonprofit biomedical research facility was founded in 1884 by Dr. Edward Livingston Trudeau (1848-1915) — great-grandfather of “Doonesbury” cartoonist Garry Trudeau. A New York City physician and self-taught scientist, Trudeau was the first American to isolate Mycobacterium tuberculosis in a lab. His discovery revolutionized our

Lab facilities at the Trudeau Institute
doctors believed that TB was hereditary or caused by dangerous vapors in the air. In those days, Saranac Lake was a remote and sparsely populated outpost in the middle of a vast wilderness, explains Amy Catania, executive director of the nonprofit Historic Saranac Lake. The town’s population was only about 400 people — it’s about 5,000 today — and most were loggers, guides, miners or fishermen. After several months of living in the Adirondacks, Trudeau found his health improving dramatically. He gained weight, ate better and had more energy. When he returned to New York City, however, he quickly relapsed. Convinced that something about the mountainous environment was boosting his health, Trudeau moved his family up to Saranac Lake and set about seeking a cure for TB. Around that time, Trudeau came across an obscure research paper by a German scientist named Robert Koch. Koch had identified a rod-shaped bacterium that he proposed as a possible cause for consumption, a theory his contemporaries ridiculed or ignored. Unfazed, Trudeau set out to recreate Koch’s experiment in a makeshift home lab that lacked basic amenities, including running water. After numerous failed attempts, in 1884 Trudeau finally succeeded in isolating the TB bacilli under a microscope. He wrote up his findings — but, like those of his German predecessor, they went ignored by other physicians for years. In the meantime, Trudeau became an ambitious promoter of his TB therapies. He built the nation’s first tuberculosis sanatorium and research lab in Saranac Lake — the building still exists today — as well as dozens of “healing cottages” where consumptives could rest, eat well, breathe fresh air, get plenty of sunshine and regain their strength. Though only a third of Trudeau’s patients
recovered, his methods were soon replicated around the country in the form of hundreds of similar TB sanatoriums. From the 1880s until Trudeau’s original facility finally closed in 1964, more than 60,000 people traveled from around the world to Saranac Lake. As Catania points out, Trudeau became not only the town’s first physician but also its first mayor. He even built the church across the street from his lab, aptly named Church of St. Luke, the Beloved Physician. In a sense, Saranac Lake is the town that TB and Trudeau built. One of the founder’s original healing cottages from 1884 still stands on the campus of the Trudeau Institute. It’s about two miles from downtown Saranac Lake and Trudeau’s original laboratory, now the Saranac Laboratory Museum. The healing cottage, dubbed Little Red, once housed sisters Alice and Mary Hunt, factory workers from New York City who contracted TB and moved to Saranac Lake to recover. As researcher Cooper gives a reporter a tour, she notes that many of Trudeau’s original instincts about TB were scientifically sound. Believing that patients benefited from exposure to sunlight, for example, he had his sanatorium and healing cottages built with large windows and porches. That approach is consistent with the later discovery that the sun’s vitamin D boosts the body’s immune system. After the turn of the 20th century, once it became widely known that germs cause TB, people often avoided anyone known to be infected. As Cooper explains, that isolation of TB patients in Trudeau’s time could cause them to develop not just depression but also a physiological response known as corticosteroid stress, which reduces the body’s ability to fight disease. In short, Cooper explains, being shunned made TB sufferers even sicker. The experience of arriving in Saranac

Lake and finding a supportive social network typically alleviated this dangerous stress. The move from the city to the Adirondacks was restorative for other reasons, too. As Cooper points out, “TB was, and still is, a disease of poverty.” It thrives among residents of cramped, overcrowded quarters with a dearth of fresh air and natural light. Although streptomycin and isoniazid, which are used to combat TB, weren’t discovered until the 1950s, the incidence of TB actually dropped dramatically throughout Europe and North America from 1900 to 1940. The reason is simple: “I call it the suburban cure,” Cooper says. “People were no longer living on top of each other.”

Though the Trudeau Institute has no level 4 labs, which the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reserves for the world’s most virulent pathogens, the institute’s “select agent” level 3 lab houses some very nasty bugs. They include Yersinia pestis, aka bubonic plague or “Black Death,” which wiped out a third of Europe’s population between 1347 and 1353. “TB will kill you, but it’ll take six months to do it,” Cooper says. “Yersinia will kill you in three days.” Currently, Cooper is trying to find a marker that will identify which of the three billion people infected with TB will develop the disease, thus enabling doctors to treat them before it erupts. She admits that her interest in Mycobacterium tuberculosis is driven less by a burning desire to “save the world” than by pure scientific curiosity. “Of course I’d like to [save the world], but it’s just a fascinating bug,” she says. “It’s been with us for 50,000 years.” According to one hypothesis, Cooper notes, it was TB that indirectly caused humans to lose their skin pigmentation as they moved north out of Africa — they needed increased amounts of vitamin D to control the disease that came with them. “As a scientist, you don’t pursue a disease. You pursue information,” Cooper says. “You always want to know how things work. So you take it apart to understand how it works.” It’s a sentiment Trudeau himself might have expressed. m

etired postal worker Steve Swensen of Baldwinsville, N.Y., has hiked the Appalachian Trail and climbed the 46 Adirondack High Peaks. But on a warm, clear mid-June day, he decided to try something new: a trip to OK Slip Falls, one of the Adirondack Forest Preserve’s most recent additions. Tumbling 250 feet, it’s one of the Adirondack Park’s largest waterfalls. While Swensen enjoys the views from the High Peak summits, he chose this trip, he says, because it was one he could take with his four family members of various ages. The six-mile round-trip hike to the waterfall from the trailhead on Route 28N, seven miles east of Indian Lake, has only modest hills to negotiate. “My wife is not really a hiker,” Swensen says, “but it sounded like a fairly easy walk that we could take with a really nice payoff at the end.” That payoff comes in the form of two lookout points, each located atop cliffs a few hundred feet from the falls, and both perfect picnic spots. On this particular day, recent rainstorms had swelled the brooks and rivers and made the falls into a thunderous torrent. The cascade of foamy water stood out against the lush, green forest. At the base of the falls, mist rose from a pile of boulders. Located in the central Adirondacks, OK Slip Falls didn’t become part of the Forest Preserve — the 2.6 million acres of state land within the 6-million-acre park — until 2013. The Forest Preserve is protected under a “forever wild” clause in the New York state constitution that prevents the area from being logged, developed or sold without the consent of the state legislature and the voters. It’s meant to preserve lands that have ecological, recreational and scenic value. The 2,800-acre OK Slip Falls tract is part of a complex land purchase that is still in process between the Keene Valley-based Nature Conservancy and the state. This particular tract also includes 2.1 miles of the Hudson River, Blue Ledges, Hudson River Gorge, and numerous ponds and forests that abut state land. Besides having recreational value for hikers, paddlers, rafters and fishermen, these areas — particularly OK Slip Falls and Blue Ledges — are believed to harbor more rare and significant plants, mosses and liverworts

Finch, Pruyn & Company sold 161,000 acres to the Conservancy for $110 million. In 2009, the Conservancy sold 92,000 acres of timberlands to the Danish pension fund ATP Private Equity Partners; most of that property eventually became state conservation easement lands. Smaller parcels were sold to local towns. Finally, in August 2012, the Conservancy worked out a deal to sell the state 69,000 acres over five years. Those lands are slated for the Forest Preserve, making them the largest addition in more than a century. So far, all the lands except the 22,000acre Boreas Ponds tract have been transferred to the state. Purchase of that tract, home to a series of ponds with views of the High Peaks, is expected within the next year. Some consider it the most attractive parcel among the new Forest Preserve lands. Most of those tracts are located in the central Adirondacks, where the landscapes are scenic but communities are small and jobs sparse. Hamilton County, where OK Slip Falls is located, is home to just 5,000 people. Locals like to point out that the county has only one traffic light. While some opposition to the land deal exists, local business owners hope the new Forest Preserve lands will make the area a more desirable recreation destination and be a boon to the economy. In the past, much Adirondack visitor traffic has gone to gateway communities such as Lake George and Old Forge, as well as to Keene Valley, Lake Placid and Saranac Lake, located near the High Peaks in the northern Adirondacks. “It’s not going to be the Holy Grail, that’s for sure,” says Dave Olbert, owner of Newcomb-based Cloud-Splitter Outfitters, of the new Preserve land. “But it definitely helps.” Even as recreation opportunities in the central Adirondacks increase, some of the area’s communities still lack adequate infrastructure for tourismbased economies. Take the town of Newcomb, near some of the Forest Preserve additions. It has a population of just 450 and not a single hotel — though it is home to other types of overnight facilities, such as the recently opened Hoot Owl Lodge bed and breakfast. Other businesses, including Olbert’s, offer limited overnight options such

ISSUE Nature Conservancy executive director Mike Carr led negotiations with the state on the land purchase and worked with towns to win their eventual support. “The Essex Chain holds a lot of promise,” he says. “I’m encouraged about the diversity of opportunities.” While creating recreation management plans for places such as the Essex Chain of Lakes may benefit local economies in the long run, it is time consuming and complex for the state. The plans must meet strict park regulations intended to protect ecological resources yet remain flexible enough to accommodate various user groups.

Even small provisions in those plans can have unintended consequences that hold up progress. For instance, the state seems to be bending over backward to allow user groups into the Essex Chain, yet it has created a new regulation prohibiting fires at shoreline campsites. While the provision’s objective sounds reasonable — to prevent campers from denuding shorelines of downed wood — some say it discourages user visits. “That’s a huge deterrent,” Olbert says of the measure. “They have to change that if they want to see more use in there.” While the push-and-pull over the Adirondack Park’s new lands continues, the use of some areas, such as OK Slip Falls, has been uncontroversial. Making it accessible was as simple as designing and building a three-mile trail to existing viewpoints of a spectacular 250-foot waterfall, and the area has been popular since it was opened last summer. State and local officials must wish it were always that easy. m

as cabins. A grassroots effort is under way in the Adirondacks to create a hut-to-hut-style lodging system, which could mitigate the lodging shortage in Hamilton County. To address the problem of struggling local economies, the Nature Conservancy gave the state $500,000 to start a microenterprise grant program for businesses located near the new Forest Preserve lands. Olbert took advantage of the program and partnered with several other local guides to create Newcomb Guide Service. The partnership has received a $100,000 grant to purchase outdoor recreation equipment, including lightweight canoes and whitewater rafts. The equipment will help Olbert’s LLC serve an area brimming with paddling opportunities such as the Essex Chain of Lakes, located in Newcomb, and the Hudson and Opalescent rivers. Boreas Ponds, once it is open to the public, will be another destination. Olbert has seen an increase in demand for paddle services on the Hudson River, which runs alongside his business, since that section became publicly accessible in December 2012. The 12-mile river segment stretches from Route 28N to the confluence of the Hudson and Indian rivers, offering both flatwater and whitewater opportunities for day-trippers or overnight campers. “One big impact that we’re seeing is more shuttling for people,” says Olbert, referring to paddlers who need to be picked up once they reach their destinations. In addition to the shorter trips, whitewater adventurers can take a roughly 25-mile-long trip from the Route 28N area in Newcomb to North Creek. Though expert kayakers might go it alone, rafting guides lead most visitors into the Hudson River Gorge and past the Blue Ledges, where there can be Class IV rapids in high water. The Upper Hudson River is also part of the Essex Chain of Lakes, which contains 18 bodies of water ranging in size from three-acre Chub Pond to 216-acre Third Lake. State officials are working on a plan that would allow a variety of activities in the area, including mountain biking, hunting, fishing, snowmobiling, paddling, hiking and horseback riding.

irst comes the rhythm. In Stowe Theatre Guild’s engaging production of Company, Stephen Sondheim’s irresistible beats draw the audience in from the opening number’s snap, crackle and pop. Then the musical’s haunting harmonies, nicely executed by a cast with abundant singing talent, command attention. Finally, the comedy surges in, mocking marriage while pointing out that it’s still a pretty good alternative to living alone. Sondheim’s Company was a distinctive musical when it was written in 1970. Instead of presenting a narrative, the show concentrates on character as revealed in nonlinear vignettes. Instead of an outside obstacle to romance, our hero must overcome his own unwillingness to commit to a relationship. The musical was also distinguished by its innovative use of what were then adventurous expressions of the late ’60s sexual revolution: trying pot, checking out a disco, learning martial arts, sleeping with a ditzy stewardess. The good news is, Sondheim’s lyrics and the musical’s book, by George Furth, are witty enough to withstand the test of time, even without any shock value. Company received a record number of Tony nominations and won six awards, including best musical, book, lyrics, music and direction. The music is terrifically catchy, not least because Sondheim is masterful at fusing melody, rhyme and meaning into a single satisfying effect. His music gives his lyrics the emphasis of speech; you cannot miss the meaning of the rise and fall of notes in “So whadda you wanna get married for?”
Assembling a cast of 14 with this much singing talent is
an impressive feat in community theater.
The show tries to answer that very question. Anchored by bachelor Robert’s 35th birthday party, the musical is a string of 11 scenes, each depicting relationships with Robert as participant or observer. A married couple bicker, yet seem to have some stronger glue holding them together. A couple whose marriage Robert admires announce plans for their divorce. A husband wonders, to his wife and Robert, if he’d rather still be single. Mixed in with these looks at married life are Robert’s own dates, which reveal the price of sexual freedom to be small talk with ill-suited companions. A showstopping number features a bride-to-be who gloriously melts down, convinced she can’t go through with the wedding. Sondheim launches it with a hymnlike ode to marriage, sung by a disembodied choral soloist. The slow, liturgical tempo and innocuous lyrics about
love’s sweetness segue into the groom’s heroic statement about his love, sung at a slightly brisker pace with charming zeal. Then the percussion and piano begin tapping out a furious rhythm, and the bride embarks on a tightly wound address to the wedding guests. The crisp, funny rhymes beat out a tattoo of her regrets, all in unremitting meter: “Perhaps I’ll collapse in the apse right in front of you.” Sondheim weaves the groom and the choral soloist around the madcap cadence the bride establishes. The combination of his discrete melodies, surprising harmonies and contrasting tempos makes the piece a tour de force. At last Friday’s performance, the audience didn’t stop laughing. Abbie Tykocki directed the show with balanced attention to acting and musical performance. The entire cast
has fine singing skills, but it also proves capable of comedy. The characters are only lightly sketched in this cavalcade, but Tykocki and the actors seize sharp details to make each glow with the brightness, and brevity, of a firefly. The polished production earns plentiful laughs for its nice comic timing and focused character interaction. The playing space itself imposes some limitations, however. With five couples, three girlfriends and a leading man, the action doesn’t have much room on Stowe’s Town Hall Theatre stage. Tykocki stations the five couples on platforms upstage and down, seated when not directly involved in a scene. Having them onstage at all times makes the anthology quality of the show visible, but movement is limited. Many scenes play in cramped spaces, and characters often face front instead of looking at each other. For the full-cast numbers, Tykocki and choreographer Nicola Boutin get everyone in motion, though the stage confines the action to simple lines. Still, for the Act II opener “Side by Side by Side,” Boutin incorporates campy vaudeville in a high-energy number. And the finale
uses strong but uncomplicated dance elements to underscore the soaring power of Robert’s revelation, “Being Alive.” Assembling a cast of 14 with this much singing talent is an impressive feat in community theater. The vocalists are good at producing Sondheim’s jazzinflected harmonies and hold nothing back in a thoroughly captivating live performance. Nathan Tykocki, the director’s husband, portrays Robert with simple sincerity. Everybody loves Robert, and the actor gives him an aw-shucks warmth. He shines throughout, and hits his peak in the anthemic closing number. Kelly Kendall and Scott Weigand have a nice rapport, hilariously tested in
their living-room karate combat. Gillian Wildfire and Matt Bacewicz are just as amiable pre- and postdivorce. Holly Biracree and Owen Brady show the disparate pleasures, giddy and heavy, of getting stoned. Jennifer Warwick belts out “The Ladies Who Lunch” with vodka-soaked venom, while Stephen Kendall refuses to act his age as a dancer. Sabrina Sydnor as the reluctant bride captures her number’s endless lyrical details while punching out the character’s pure panic, ably accompanied by Jayden Choquette as the groom. Sami Schwaeber, Stacy Garrison and Gabrielle Mailloux, as the girlfriends
both fed up and intrigued by Robert, romp through their complaints in a silly number. Schwaeber’s duet with Robert, “Barcelona,” is splendidly funny, a pithy statement of romantic indecision. Musical director Martin Hain’s pit band is stripped down to keyboard, bass and percussion. The instrumentation is sufficient to convey Sondheim’s rich and challenging music, but the band is forced to play at a low volume to keep the vocals firmly on top. Hain elicits fine vocal performances while emphasizing the percussive excitement of Sondheim’s music. The score is widely considered one of Sondheim’s best, and every tune offers a

sonic surprise or two while powerfully conveying mood and wit. It’s a pleasure just to be caught up in the energizing pace of the music. Frankly, it doesn’t matter whether Robert gets married or not; it’s just great fun to listen to everyone sing about love and marriage. m Contact: alex@sevendaysvt.com

A
new crop is struggling to take root in New York’s northern Champlain Valley: young grapevines planted off highways and back roads. Winemakers and local organizations, hoping the new industry will draw visitors, are touting this corner of the Empire State as North America’s newest wine region. Last year, the New York State Assembly approved the Adirondack Coast Wine Trail, a 66-mile stretch connecting seven wineries between Mooers and Morrisonville. These places bear little resemblance to the grand estates in the Finger Lakes, Hudson Valley and Long Island regions. In northeastern New York, the vineyards are small — the largest less than 15 acres — and the tasting rooms are rustic and handmade, reflecting the do-it-yourself characters who built them. (And who typically work full-time jobs elsewhere.) Most of the grapevines were planted in the last decade. Still, local chambers of commerce saw an opportunity to attract wine-loving tourists to the area. “We wanted to do anything we could to help with the wine trail,” said Amber Parliament, who handles public relations for the Adirondack Coast Visitors Bureau, via phone last week. In addition to funding advertising on both sides of the border, the ACVB sanctions classes and workshops for winemakers. Last fall, green signs sprouted along the trail, guiding travelers to each site. As Seven Days drove the route last week, a reporter noted outcrops of ancient, seabottom limestone jutting into roadsides, overgrown with wild grapevines. Along with several cold-hardy grape hybrids, these seem to hint at the region’s latent winemaking potential. Traveled in one day from Burlington (it takes four hours but could stretch much longer should sippers linger), the trail offers a chance to taste the wines in succession. As with many cold-climate vintages, they’re light in body and “greener” in flavor than wines that enjoy a longer growing season.

The vineyard at Hid-In-Pines
Stone House Vineyard
Sean Frey
Along a narrow back road in Mooers, grapevines creep over the stone walls at the region’s original vineyard. Philip and Bonnie Favreau first planted grapes at their home in the 1980s. Philip Favreau was a chemist at WyethAyerst Laboratories in Rouses Point for 39 years. When he left Big Pharma in 2000, he was too young to retire, so he planted a grape nursery and sold young plants to locals. When his own grapes matured, he made wine and gave bottles to customers. “People kept coming back for more wine,” Favreau recalled. In the ensuing years, he planted thousands more vines, along with berries, currants and plums. While Favreau is widely credited with pioneering the local wine industry, 2015 may be the last vintage for the winemaker, now 76. He hopes to phase out of production to focus on growing fruit that he’ll sell to other winemakers. For now Favreau’s wild, natural abode is part of the trail, and it’s worth visiting before it closes. Still, Favreau said he’s hopeful for the region: “I think it has as much potential as the Finger Lakes. I think the area will support many wineries.”

kilgOre caFé replaces trOut river traDers in mOntgOmery center
When chef DErEK bArKEr returned to Vermont from Costa Rica two months ago, he headed to Trout River Traders in Montgomery Center for a cup of coffee. He found the old trading post closed. Barker, who was looking for a job, decided to make one instead. In July, he’ll open a market-driven café and market in the old building. With help from pastry chef SArA HANSEN and front-of-house manager SEtH KirScHNEr, Barker’s KilGorE cAfé will serve fresh, hyperlocal cuisine for breakfast and lunch, with an abundance of vegetarian, vegan and glutenfree options.

Guests can then review and comment on the dishes via social media. For now, Kilgore Café will be BYOB, but Barker is looking for a brewer to make beer on-site. He’s also making syrups for soft drinks, which he’ll pour through the trading post’s 1920s-era soda fountain.

The menu will change frequently based on the produce offered by local farms and foragers. Sample dishes include mushroomand-myrrh soup with red clover; shaved-fennel salad with sun-dried tomatoes and feta; and vegan “pulled pork” made with spaghetti squash slow-simmered in barbecue sauce. Sandwiches and burgers will also be on the menu. “Everything will be made from scratch from food sourced nearby,” promises Barker, with no multiple-ingredient foods from outside Vermont — “no exceptions.”

In late 2011, HElEN lAbuN JorDAN began hosting Thursday-night potlucks in her Montpelier home. By fall 2012, the weekly soirées had grown to dinner-party status, and Jordan started cooking multi-dish meals to theme and calling her events HEl’S KitcHEN. Now the pop-up is going pro. On August 3, Jordan will move into the kitchen at SAlt café at 207 Barre Street in Montpelier. She plans to serve themed, home-style meals for takeout Monday through Wednesday. On Thursdays, she’ll offer a single in-house meal for 15 guests with a 7 p.m. seating. On Fridays and Saturdays, Salt proprietor SuzANNE poDHAizEr will offer her take on Jordan’s weekly theme in tasting-menu format. “[Podhaizer] will choose the dishes that are best suited to her type of service,” Jordan says, “and I’ll choose ones that are good to take home and reheat.” Like all meals at Salt, Hel’s Kitchen will be BYOB. Jordan, who coordinates the events at nearby Bear
Pond Books, says she hopes to get creative with her themes and bring diversity to the capital city’s takeout scene. “You’ll be able to sample dishes from all over the world,” she says. “We’ll do food from different regions, different cities of the world — something whimsical.” Priced at about $8 per entrée, $2.50 per side and $2 per dessert, the food will be creative but not fancy. “This will be a restaurant with an emphasis on home-cooked style,” Jordan says. “We’ll have cookies, not Frenchpastry-chef-plated desserts. It’s really meant to replace home cooking.” Jordan will post the day’s menu online in the morning, and patrons can order via web or stop by on their way home from work. Jordan says she hopes to help fill the enduring gap left by a popular restaurant that closed nine years ago in Salt’s current space. Locals “are still complaining that Susan’s Kitchen is not here,” she attests. “Many nights I wish it was still there so I could have a nice, home-cooked, interesting dinner. I decided to stop complaining and do something about it.”

Barker says he hopes to channel a community vibe; in addition to offering sit-down meals, he’s outfitting the building’s second floor with sofas, board games and Wi-Fi for folks who want to sit with their coffee. In a techie twist, the café is going digital with its menus. Rather than printing bills of fare, Barker will upload his menus so guests can peruse the offerings via smartphone. (He’ll provide

Vesco Ridge Vineyards
167 Stratton Hill Road, West Chazy, 518-8468544, vescoridge.com
On a side road near West Chazy, Dan and Nancy Vesco recently completed work on a new winery. Inside, Nancy stood ready with a bottle of wine and plenty to chat about. Dan started fermenting grapes when someone gave him a wine kit in 2004. And, Nancy recalled, “The wine was really good, so we decided to go for it.” Vintner’s Choice, pressed from Vesco marquette and syrah from Long Island (most of the wineries supplement their harvests with grapes from elsewhere in New York), was plummy and rich with ripe black fruit. Diamond, made with grapes from near Buffalo, offered tart, ripe nectarine and steely minerality. While Dan focuses on the wines, Nancy handles events, which include evening concerts on the wide porch, painting classes and yoga. And as the Vescos settle into “retirement,” what began as a basement hobby has become a hub of seasonal activity. “I think [the region is at] a great starting point,” Nancy said, looking out the wide windows over rows of vines. “This is how these things begin.”

and friends for years. In 2008, she and her husband, Gilles, planted 650 vines on their 1.5-acre plot. They opened their winery in 2009. The new vineyard would be a fun “retirement business,” Mary said. In addition to tastings, Amazing Grace offers a weekend bistro menu featuring local cheese boards and home-cooked meals. Because her spread is at the northern end of the trail, Fortin said many visitors are tipsy when they arrive. Her instinct was to feed them. While Clinton County is a tough market for local, artisanal products, the winemaker noted that local wines have won gold medals competing against vintages from more established cold-climate regions. “People just need to come out and give it a try,” Fortin said. “One of the unique things about our wine trail — you walk into one of those places in Long Island or wherever, and they’re terrifically commercial. You’d never meet the winemaker.”

The corrugated metal Quonset hut doesn’t look like much from the outside. But the Frey family has transformed the industrial shell into a hip, homespun bar, outfitted in
salvaged and reclaimed materials. With its horseshoe-shaped bar toward the back, the room suggests cider-soaked evenings spent dancing to bluegrass. In fact, Elfs Farm hosts Friday night “wine-downs” with live music in addition to its regular hours. The Frey kids — siblings Erin, 26, Sean, 31, and Brian, 33, run the business along with their father, Tom. As winemaker Sean tells it, his dad purchased a former roadside hotel just north of downtown Plattsburgh in 2006 and planted 700 vines in secret. “One night at dinner, he was like, ‘Oh yeah, by the way, I started a winery,’” Sean told Seven Days last week. After selling insurance for decades, Tom decided to peddle something people wanted to buy. Elfs Farm’s ciders and apple wines — made with fruit from orchards within 20 miles — coax unexpected nuance from sweet, non-tannic McIntosh and Honeycrisp apples. Their ciders, sold under the label Adirondack Cider Company, are crisp and drinkable. The Freys’ 2011 Cayuga White — bottled in blue glass to commemorate the loss of the family’s original winery in a fire — sang with notes of pineapple, apple and limestone. Most of Elfs’ Cayuga vines died in last winter’s bitter cold. Sean places the setback along the learning curve. “We’re still trying to figure out which grapes to grow and how wine should be made from the grapes,” he said. “But it’s a fun challenge to figure that out.”
The Champlain Wine Company
30 City Hall place, plattsburgh, 518-5640064, thechamplainwinecompany.com
While six of the seven winemakers on the Adirondack Coast Wine Trail serve wine at the vineyards, Champlain Wine Company keeps a sunny tasting room in the heart of downtown Plattsburgh. In 2008, owners Colin Read and Natalie Peck planted 4,000 vines in Mooers, but the Lake City bar, with its native foot traffic, helps push the business along. While their vineyard matures, Read and Peck are working with grapes from elsewhere. (Like the other wineries on the Adirondack Coast, Champlain Wine is a “farm winery,” which by law means winemakers must ferment only New York fruit). So for now, their wines resemble those of other regions. Last week, Karen Parker stood behind the bar in the sunny, gallery-style room in Plattsburgh. “What do you like?” she asked a visitor off the street. A buttery, un-oaked Finger Lakes chardonnay had a floral nose, while a

Fill the grid using the numbers 1-6, only once in each row and column. The numbers in each heavily outlined “cage” must combine to produce the target number in the top corner, using the mathematical operation indicated. A onebox cage should be filled in with the target number in the top corner. A number can be repeated within a cage as long as it is not the same row or column.
Place a number in the empty boxes in such a way that each row acrosss, each column down and each 9-box square contains all of the numbers one to nine. The same numbers cannot be repeated in a row or column.

Richard Lamoy spends most days bringing his wine to seven markets throughout the Adirondacks. “We’re trying to get the word out there,” he said, standing in his knotty pine tasting room last week. A lifelong farmer, Lamoy began his wine career at Cornell University’s Willsboro Research Farm, where he worked on studies that assessed the new varietals. The winemaker continues that research on his home farm. His rows of a new grape called MN 1200, planted as a test crop for Northeast Sustainable

Agriculture Research & Education, represent that grape’s largest planting in the world. Lamoy is one of few winemakers who’ve worked with it. Last week, a sip of the MN 1200 wine (named Macomb Noir) revealed a strange, nebulous character. Heady with earthy fruit and undertones of cocoa, leather and wood, it was similar to malbec: velvety and steely at once. Lamoy would like to broaden the North Country grape portfolio with several varietals, and he hopes the market will follow. In the decade since he began selling wine, he’s seen sales rise slowly. The industry will mature, he added, if supporters of local products “commit a little more — work in a few bottles of these grapes here and there.” The Adirondack region wine industry is at a crossroads, he suggested. “This can take off,” Lamoy said, “or it can sort of linger for a while.” m

sip revealed hints of honey and succulent stone fruit. A riesling from the same region brimmed with crisp, green-apple tartness and cool, stony minerality; a light-bodied cabernet franc (Long Island) harbored earth and wood. Each was pleasant and well made, but crafted with proven grapes bearing centuries-old histories and traditions. As their grapes ripen in years to come, Read and Peck will, like their peers, head into lesser-known territory, writing a new, drinkable tale with their own homegrown fruit.

n irony in the Adirondack Park’s developed areas is that countless trees have been razed to clear the way for tourists. Somewhat perversely, numerous restaurants and hotels are made of rough-hewn logs; even the signage for many local businesses has been constructed of rugged timber. But hungry visitors will be pleased to learn that some local restaurateurs have found a better use for timber: burning it to cook barbecue. Though it’s commonly associated with southern states, barbecue has found a comfortable home in the Adirondacks. Clustered around Lake Placid — just two hours from Burlington (including the ferry ride) — are no fewer than five BBQ joints, ranging from sprawling roadside attractions to upscale lakefront restaurants with fancy cocktails. Maybe these places have sprung up around the former Olympic hub because of the availability of timber. Or maybe

One of my first stops, Redneck Bistro, BBQ Grill, was closed when I visited. Look up the place on Facebook or Yelp, and you’ll understand my disappointment. Photos of the triple-decker Fat Bastard Burger make it seem about 12 inches tall, and online reviewers offer raves. Next time. Tail O’ the Pup, located halfway between Lake Placid and Saranac Lake, beckons travelers with friendly, homespun signs, one in the form of a giant red lobster rearing up on its tail. Open only during tourist season, the nearly 100-year-old Tail O’ the Pup is more of a compound than a BBQ joint. It includes a restaurant, a bar, an ice cream shop, rental cabins, an informal fireside music venue and loads of picnic tables. And a gift shop, natch. Owner Eddie Yanchitis, a voluble, likable fellow, eagerly stuffed souvenir bumper stickers and magnets into my hands and surveyed his red-and-white recreation enterprise. “Yeah, it is a little compound,” he agreed when I suggested it. The term seems apt for a restaurant that, when it’s really buzzing, can seat 650 and goes through 23,000 pounds of pork in a summer. Since 1982, Yanchitis has had a wintertime business hauling Christmas trees down to Palm Beach, Fla. This time of year, he’s less invested in pines and firs than in hickory, burning cords of it in Tail O’ the Pup’s smoker. The restaurant, Yanchitis said, was initially a hot dog stand, hence the name. As the place changed owners over the decades, its menu grew; today, it bursts

demographic research has indicated that vacationers love baby back ribs. Whatever the reason, their presence is good news for carnivores. Vermonters need only cross the lake on the CharlotteEssex ferry and follow the winding roads through the Adirondack ADIRONDACK Park to reward themselves with a heaping mess o’ BBQ. That’s what I did on a recent afternoon, hopping from one restaurant to another in a pork-fueled frenzy. As connoisseurs know, barbecue is not a monolithic entity. Everyone does it a little bit differently from everyone else — even among the small clutch of BBQ chefs around the tourist town of Lake Placid.

The slogan “Where Tex Meets Mex” is painted on the glass of Wyatt’s BBQ, which occupies a small, colorful storefront in downtown Lake Placid. It’s no lie. The menu is divided into sections labeled “Tex” (brisket, pulled pork); “Mex” (burritos, quesadillas, tacos); and “The Borderland.” The latter includes the All-American Burrito, in which brisket, traditional taco toppings, a mustardy BBQ sauce, and mac

When I described it via text message to my colleague Hannah Palmer Egan, she referred to it as “flavor country.” I replied: “more like flavor United Nations.” The burrito was indeed a taste bonanza, and one of the weirdest dishes The All-American I’ve had in a while. It took Burrito at Wyatt’s BBQ a few bites to acclimate to the burrito’s Carolina-style sauce, but I came around. Pulled pork and Wyatt’s owner Rory brisket at Delta Blue Lustberg, who named his 3-year-old restaurant after his young son, smokes all his meats in a small, stainless steel device parked in the corner of the kitchen’s tiny prep area. I’ve never seen a smoker so small, but size apparently does not matter, as the brisket was moist and flavorful. Its fatty richness provides the means by which the All-American Burrito crosses the border. with barbecue and burgers, as well as “I have a very picky dad who loves seafood. That lobster out front isn’t a joke: barbecue but would never set foot into a Yanchitis flies in the crustaceans from Boston every other day, and the Pup hosts burrito shop,” Lustberg said.

We had daiquiris enticed, but I had quite a bit mac and cheese as a side, and if you spend more driving to do.)

The restaurant’s married owners, Jason and Layla Stoltz, scored some primo property for Smoke Signals, which they opened in 2013. All done up in reclaimed wood, a wide bar area gives way to the several tables that look onto the lake and across to the mountains. Upstairs, in a vaulted-ceilinged space that once housed a church, the Stoltzes have built a large, comfortable concert venue, as well as a smaller room for private functions. Layla said she wasn’t surprised that the Lake Placid area has become a barbecue hot spot. “You think, cold weather, so what could be better than heavy, warm comfort food?” she said. “Barbecue.” In the building’s basement, Layla showed off the restaurant’s huge, new, state-of-the-art electric smoker. Running on wood pellets, it provides the low temperatures and smoky S t o Lt z flavors that are the twin necessities for good barbecue. “It’s really consistent,” Layla said. “We can have a similar product every time.” All the food I sampled here was excellent, including the fried pickles, a dish that requires some know-how to get the batter to cling to the pickles. But the real standout was the brisket, which was by far the best of the four I sampled. It was thick, juicy and meltingly rich, and packed an intense but not overwhelming meaty flavor. This brisket is well worth the trip from Vermont. Actually, this entire Adirondack excursion is worthwhile for the sheer geographical concentration of barbecue goodness. Hop on a ferry, Vermonters, and get yourself some ADK BBQ. m

— even fried or blackened nuggets of alligator. The place works hard to drive home its semi-punning name. Blues bands play every weekend on a small stage near the bar. The satellite radio is tuned to a blues station. Pastel portraits of blues musicians adorn the walls. Despite limiting myself to just a few bites of each dish so far, I was feeling the bloat by the time I hunkered down at Delta Blue. My friendly server arranged for the kitchen to prepare two small dishes of BBQ staples: brisket and pulled pork. I also raised my glass in the direction of Vermont and ordered the Gumbo Poutine. Though made unctuous by a too-sweet sauce, the L AY L A pulled pork was pleasingly tender. The other dishes … not so much. The brisket was dry and tough, the andouille sausage — discs of which dotted the poutine — was oddly flavorless. Time to move on.

I didn’t have to go far: Smoke Signals is only about 200 paces from Delta Blue, and its stellar food is complemented by incredible views of Mirror Lake from the terrace. This place takes an upscale approach to its barbecue. Its menu notes local sources for ingredients, drink specials incorporate seasonal flavors and all sauces — even the ketchup — are made in-house.

Barker hopes to open for keeps in mid-July. Meanwhile, he’s planning a chef’s-table meal for the night of July 4. Prospective guests can score a seat by offering items for barter. For instance: “If someone had a display case that they wanted to get rid of,” Barker says, “they could bring it, and we’ll make them dinner.” Look for updates at kilgorecafe.com.
This September 19 and 20, locavore food fest EAt BY NorthEASt will return to Burlington’s Oakledge Park for a second season. The festival’s Saturday-night BrEwhAhA beer tasting will also mark the official start of VErmoNt BEEr wEEk. Organizer BENJY ADlEr says he hopes breweries will throw down with one-off special brews. Other events include an ice cream social, a marathon cookout, a beer-and-chocolate tasting, and workshops and cooking demonstrations aimed at broadening the reach of local food beyond those who can afford $8-per-pound tomatoes. “The goal of the festival as a whole,” Adler says, “is to make local food more accessible and affordable for everyone.

Talk about the truth, the whole truth and nothin’ but the truth. Dani Shapiro, author of three memoirs, is unabashedly honest with herself and her readers in works like Still Writing: The Perils and Pleasures of a Creative Life. In her intimate and eloquent style, Shapiro shares her experiences ranging from her young adulthood as a mistress to a realization of her fierce love for her family. With gifts for outward observation and inward examination, the memoirist reminds herself and her readers to approach each moment “with reverence and an unprotected heart.”

In Stitches Sticking with tradition and going against the grain both have their merits, particularly when it comes to quilts. The Vermont Quilt Festival, New England’s oldest and largest showing of its kind, honors purist takes on the folk art while spotlighting new techniques. Exhibits such as “Piecing Our Past: Quilt Styles of the 19th Century” and “Lobby Lights: Quilts of Joan Ford” pay homage to myriad styles. Viewers feast on scraps while browsing hundreds of patchwork projects, shopping in the merchants’ mall and taking notes at vendor demonstrations. Collectors can have antique quilts appraised, but don’t book those tickets to Disneyland quite yet — value is assessed not in dollars but in memories and meaning.

SEVEN DAYS: Since you’ve never played in Burlington before, I feel it’s my obligation to give you some restaurant recommendations. YUKA HONDA: Yes! That’s very important. When I’m on tour, I like to eat healthy so I can sustain myself longer. Vegetables, Asian food. Anything fresh, local, special to the area. SD: I’ll text you some suggestions later. Why is it that Cibo Matto broke up in the first place, and what was the occasion for getting back together? YH: We don’t really think of it as just a band. We joke that it’s like a marriage. The first time we started a band, we just thought it was about making albums, playing shows. It just went much farther than we originally thought. It was like we were high school sweethearts who got pregnant and got married right away and had to jump into real-life situations. To be honest, I think a part of us was not ready, but we really didn’t want to miss the opportunity, so we jumped into the ocean. Eventually, it seemed like a healthy solution to say, “We’re gonna stop now and do something else.” It was getting a little too much for us. So we really feel like this is a second marriage,

where we’ve really thought about what it is. We’re a 50/50 band, but that means that half of your ideas get rejected. SD: You’re involved with the New York avant-garde scene. Any thoughts on the recent passing of Ornette Coleman? YH: It brought tears to my eyes. I’d heard rumors that he was not doing so well, but it really broke my heart that he passed. Because he was such an open-minded person, he used to welcome any musicians into his house to jam with him. So I got to jam with him twice, which was incredible. It’s not only that his music is great, but he was a great music philosopher and thinker. His music means a lot to me. SD: Hotel Valentine sounds both familiar and new. YH: Basically, Cibo Matto music is a hybrid of Miho music and Yuka music. So I think the sound hasn’t changed in that we are still the same people, but we’ve also grown and have experiences
— musically and in real life — and I think we’re bringing all of it to the table. The music comes from our hearts and our bodies. Hopefully, it’s something that’s a little more mature. SD: In creating the fragmentary story of Hotel Valentine, did you look to other concept albums for ideas? YH: No, I think we went with a concept because that’s how we work best. Otherwise, there are too many options. When we were making Viva! La Woman and we had food as a concept, we had a lot of fun talking about, “How about this? How about this?” I feel it gives the album more focus. One of the things that Miho and I are really into is food, but another is movies. We’re both really into movies that have loose narratives, like old Wong Karwai movies, and we really like Leos Carax. While we were making this album, he finally, after a long absence, PUZZLING PIECES

omehow, it’s been nearly 20 years since the one-of-a-kind band Cibo Matto dropped its debut album, Viva! La Woman, on a listening public largely unprepared for its toothsome gumbo of pop, trip-hop and culinary obsession. That 1996 album spawned cult-favorite singles “Know Your Chicken” and “Birthday Cake.” Its standout song, “Sugar Water,” inspired director Michel Gondry to create one of the most remarkable music videos in the history of the form. Did we mention that all the songs are about food and eating? Cibo Matto is Italian for “crazy food.” After releasing their second album, Stereo ★ Type A,, three years later, vocalist Miho Hatori and instrumentalist Yuka Honda amicably parted musical ways. Though they both remained active in a diverse array of pop and experimental music projects in the fertile downtown New York City scene, the two did not make music together again until Hotel Valentine, released in 2014. The songs on that record — loosely held together by a cryptic narrative about ghosts, theft and hotel housekeepers — are at once a continuation of Cibo Matto’s distinctive sound and proof that they’re still full of new ideas. In advance of their Friday, June 26, performance at the Higher Ground Showcase Lounge, Honda spoke with Seven Days about a band that turns out to be a multifaceted art project.

New Jersey transplant MATT PIGNATORE ranks among the most pleasant surprises of the year. It’s rooted in the classic indie-rock strains of bands like PAVEMENT, MODEST MOUSE and BUILT TO SPILL, but oozes a warped personality and humor that’s alternately jarring and sensitive.

The Holy Life That’s Coming, by prolific Brattleboro songwriter Chris Weisman (ex-HAPPY BIRTHDAY) was inspired by winter. And it sounds like it. Likely the fearlessly experimental Weisman’s most accessible solo effort, the record’s frosty, folk-pop charms are best suited for a cozy listening nook, ideally near a woodstove in January. But the breezy, BEATLES-tinged melodies and sparse arrangements play well in the warmer months, too. nnatapes.com ARGONAUT&WASP, Future Protocol

If you turn to page 73 of this very issue, you’ll find a review of JV, the new album from the MOUNTAIN SAYS NO, half of whose membership includes FARM’s BEN MADDOX and JEDD KETTLER. Given my longstanding affinity for Farm, it probably comes as no surprise to regular readers that I dig the TMSN album. That’s not because it sounds like a Farm record, because, save for a couple of fleeting instances, it doesn’t. I just enjoy and admire the way that Maddox and Kettler, in particular, make music. I’m of the opinion that Kettler is quite possibly Vermont’s most underrated — and understated — songwriter. I’m also of the opinion that JV is one of the best Vermont records of the year so far. That got me thinking: We’re almost precisely halfway through 2015, and the running list I keep all year long of contenders for the annual year-end top-10 list already has more names on it than will fit. This is not a good problem to have. It’s a great one.
So this week and next, I’m running through that list and highlighting some of the remarkable albums that have already made an impact in 2015 in this column. Some of these records may well find their way into the top 10 come December. Others won’t, but that doesn’t diminish how good they are. Any “best-of” list is subjective. And frankly, I always hate affixing that label, especially to music, because there is no quantitative way to measure art fairly or accurately. But the SEO gods must be appeased. So think of this as a “best-of” list if you must, but I’d prefer you think of it as a list of cool local records. All I’d really ask is that you take a few minutes and give some of these a spin. You’ll be glad you did.

The Best Local Albums of 2015 (So Far) (Part 1)
Local musician and Seven Days freelance writer JOHN FLANAGAN and I had a lot fun dissecting and debating this one in a two-pronged review for 7D in April (“Double Take,” April 1). While the album is not exactly in the wheelhouse of two left-footed, thirtysomething rock critics — read: aging indie-rock snobs, at least in my case — we came to the same conclusion. It’s damned near impossible not to be seduced by the EP’s bright hooks, shimmering jangle and throbbing house beats. Light and sunny and irrepressibly danceable, Future Protocol is simply ideal summer music. soundcloud.com/argonaut-and-wasp

Puzzling Pieces « p.68 put out Holy Motors. That movie has a narrative, and also doesn’t. And everything feels like that to us. It feels like life is small fragments — puzzle-like. SD: cibo matto is renowned for its innovative music videos, and that’s true of the ones from Hotel Valentine, too. Which got me thinking: maybe cibo matto is more like a multimedia art project than a band. YH: Yes, absolutely. We like to think of ourselves in that way. It’s not just about notes and words. We try to express other things in our sound. We don’t use regular instruments. A lot of the sound comes from collage: found sounds that are really not always in tune, or that have a lot of air. It’s more about the senses. I don’t know how to describe it, but it’s not just the audio. We try to express feelings in our sound. It’s connected to our invisible, imaginary movie that you can’t see. SD: You’ve made three solo albums. Are you planning on making more? What projects are you working on right now? YH: I have a band with my husband [Wilco guitarist Nels Cline], and we’ve been recording an album for quite some time. I also started this instrumental group with a drummer, Jordyn Blakely, who’s in Invisible Familiars, the band that will open for us in Vermont. SD: The music industry changed a whole lot during cibo matto’s hiatus. How have you been dealing with the new digital reality? YH: I’m enjoying the fact that I can talk to fans more directly. I find it really exciting. Otherwise, I’d see them at shows and exchange one word, if you’re lucky. Financially, it can be difficult, but it used to be that a lot of bankers were

deciding who gets to make an album, or whether to put an album on the shelf. But now, I feel like only people who really want to do it are left making music. I do see a lot of positive sides. SD: Does your fan base consist of your fans from the ’90s? Have you gathered new fans? YH: I’ve been surprised. The last time we toured [with Hotel Valentine], I expected the shows to be attended by older fans, but there were a lot of people from the younger generation who told us that when we were touring in the ’90s, they were 10, 11, 12 years old and weren’t allowed to come to our shows. They’re happy that we’re touring now because now they’re allowed to come! We felt really great about that. SD: What music have you been listening to lately? YH: I’m really crazy about Flying Lotus. And Kendrick Lamar, D’Angelo’s last album. I still listen to St. Vincent a lot. Those are on my heavy rotation. But if I have to choose one, Flying Lotus would be the one. m Contact: ethan@sevendaysvt.com

REVIEW this The Mountain Says No, JV (SELF-RELEASED, CD, DIGITAL DOWNLOAD)
It’s a safe bet that few basements
in Vermont — or at the very least in Enosburg Falls — have produced more excellent music than that of the Cave of Legends. The dank subterranean room beneath coffee shop/secondhand music and DVD emporium the Flying Disc on E-Burg’s main drag was for many years the creative home of Farm. That group was among the most respected, and yet underappreciated, bands in recent Vermont history. Though Farm have been fairly quiet since 2012, the Cave has hardly gone dark. There, Farm cofounder and Flying Disc owner Ben Maddox has produced the soundtracks to his arty underwater nature documentary series, I See Fish People. Most recently, the CoL has been the birthing room for a new band with significant Farm DNA: the Mountain Says No. Though Farm fans should find a lot to like about TMSN’s debut record, JV, it really only resembles a Farm record in
spirit and, thanks to Maddox and fellow Farm-hand Jedd Kettler, lineage. For one thing, JV is just harder and louder than almost anything in the Farm canon. Some credit for this might belong with the nonFarm half of the band, bassist Andrew Frappier and drummer Justus Gaston. That’s evident from opener “Come and Decide,” which begins spare and mysterious before assaulting with a flurry of raw guitar punch at the manic hook. A sinister edge too, shows up early on in the ominous, black (Sabbath) tones of the album’s second cut, “Iron and Metal.” Farm were collaborators, writing collectively and swapping instruments constantly. As a result, the band was a sonic chameleon, able to morph from gothic experimental folk to heady art rock and beyond at any moment. This is the clearest link between Farm and TMSN. Though certain songs have nominal writing credits, TMSN approach music making as a group. According to Maddox, some songs were fleshed out from sturdy skeletons, while others took physical form from the specters of fleeting riffs, all with considerable group input. That lends JV an unpredictable quality on par with Farm’s, with equal stylistic variety. “Ricky the Rider” is twitchy guitar rock with swampy undertones. “3,000,” a meandering work of lugubrious slacker
On behalf of Mikey and the crew: Thank you for nominating us as Best bouncers!
rock shaded with electric banjo twang, does recall Farm — or perhaps even Kettler’s older band, Guppyboy. But the following cut, “Who Could Say?” is a kaleidoscopic jumble of spindly arpeggios and world-beat rhythms Vote for us again and stay in touch! that’s something like Pavement by way 802-777-8448 • CHOCOLATE.THUNDER.LLC@GMAIL.COM of Fela Kuti. “Restaurant” is a gnarled knot of swampy southern rock. “The Mountain” — whose lyrics give the band 16t-chocolatethunder061715.indd 1 6/16/15 10:12 AM its name — is like Crazy Horse-era Neil Young philosophizing on hallucinogens. the folk “King Grifter” is a classic Kettler tune, and another cut that faintly recalls Farm. hour wednesdays > 11:00 pm “The Bomb” is indeed bombastic. It’s also a sturdy bridge to album closer “Statistik,” pechakucha which is weird, erratic, hairy and also burlington feat. triumphantly charismatic.

consciousness, mixed with going stupid,” as he puts it on “Vibe.” Stiltz speaks from the heart on almost every track here, trading in the punchline pyrotechnics of his earlier work for a more deliberate, relatable approach. The sole exception is “Keep It on Lock,” an unambiguous banger from local superproducer Sky Splitter that showcases some tongue-twisting flows and a feature from prolific BTV ex-pat Learic. (Spoiler alert: Learic utterly kills it.) The emotional core of the album is an autobiographical two-song sequence laying out Stiltz’s journey with impressive candor. “Love,” a skittering, halftime confessional featuring Mass.-based crooner Teddy D on the hook, paints a vivid picture of redemption. It sets the stage for “The Past,” where Stiltz lays it all on the line. This is some of his best songwriting to date, the urgent rhyme
SEVENDAYSVT.COM
When Colby Stiltz moved out of Vermont in 2012, he left a tall, extremely energetic hole in the local hip-hop scene. During his Green Mountain tenure, he was everywhere, always smiling, always hilarious and always supportive of new talent. So it may come as a shock to many that Stiltz was grappling with some ferocious personal demons the whole time. That struggle provides a foundation for his new album, Down to Earth. Stiltz’s tribulations led to a most unexpected transformation: He has evolved from stoner-rap comedy into a downright spiritual, adult voice of reason. That doesn’t mean the party stopped, of course. Nearly every track here has at least a line or two proclaiming the virtues of (medical!) marijuana, and at no point does Stiltz preach. That’s the best approach for his message, balancing hard-won life experience with a youthful and infectious optimism. Even when he’s frank about issues such as depression and drug addiction, he never gets within a million miles of being judgmental. “This is
patterns weaving an auditory tour of his own downward spiral. Plenty of the old Colby Stiltz is still here. He revels in talking shit about other rappers, devising new ways to crack weed jokes and spinning sex raps that are about as subtle as a cinder block through a window. On songs “Grow” and “Artist,” you can hear the tug of war between Stiltz’s old self and his new perspective. Rather than contradicting his message, this only strengthens his story arc and demonstrates that life lessons can be integrated into classic hip-hop themes. All in all, Down to Earth is a monument to personal and artistic growth. The album is beautifully cohesive, rolling the contributions of seven producers into a single, organic meal. The attention to detail shines, from the smooth mixing to the fractal precision of his ad libs and chorus work. Stiltz has emerged from dark days and delivered a truly professional album. Colby Stiltz hosts an album-release party for Down to Earth this Thursday, June 25, at Zen Lounge in Burlington, alongside Learic of the Aztext. Down to Earth is available at iTunes.

thu.25 // The California Honeydrops [funk, soul]
Super Sweet
The California Honeydrops draw on a wide array of styles: the R&B of their native Bay Area,
funk, southern soul, Delta blues and New Orleans second line, to name a few. But, as the Honeydrops themselves will tell you, they don’t play music, necessarily. They just bring the party. Lately, those parties have included some notable guests, such as Dr. John, Allen Toussaint, Buddy Guy and the late B.B. King, with all of whom the band has toured. The Honeydrops’ dance-floor-obliterating sound has made them festival favorites, too — they’ve become regulars on the summer circuit. This Thursday, June 25, the party comes to Club Metronome in Burlington. Put on your dancing shoes.

cubism, first introduced to Americans in the 1913 Armory Show in New York City; and abstract expressionism, a movement of the 1940s through the early ’60s. By contrast, “this material” — Denenberg gestures toward the gallery walls — “was overlooked, or looked down upon, sometimes because of its association with the WPA [the federal Works Progress Administration].” The leftist leanings of Rockwell Kent (1882-1971), for example, contributed to his obscurity. The painter served as president of the communist-affiliated International Workers Order and, late in life, donated hundreds of his paintings to the Soviet Union. Fortunately, Kent’s “Down to the Sea,” which is among this exhibit’s most arresting paintings, was not one of them. The thematically grouped show does begin with “Cubist Experiments,” one of six categories organizing “American Moderns.” Echoes of Cézanne, Matisse, Picasso and Braque abound in this first section. Albert Gallatin’s “Composition” (1937), an architectural assemblage of flat shapes hinting at a guitar or violin, recalls Le Corbusier’s paintings from the early 1920s. Max Weber’s “The Cellist” (1917) channels Picasso’s
layered perspectives. Marsden Hartley’s Fauve-hued “Handsome Drinks,” with its inscrutable letters (“Lus, Logh”) and title somewhere between arch and despairing, salutes Parisian café life. But it places a delicious-looking manhattan between an absinthe and a coffee. The First World War had just forced the artist’s reluctant return to New York. That city’s streets and high-rises inspired many of the works grouped in “Modern Structures.” Stuart Davis collaged together symbols of urban life — gas station, barber pole — in “Landscape With Clay Pipe” (1941). Its flat, cartoon-like shapes in unmodulated red, pink, teal and blue suggest Joan Miró’s similarly elemental forms and colors. That lively painting contrasts vividly with George Ault’s “Manhattan Mosaic,” with its spare, geometric apartment buildings nearly blocking out a tiny square of sky. A greater part of the exhibit, by contrast, is dedicated to images of nature. Denenberg points out that, while “people are getting bombarded with urban imagery in magazines” during this era, urban painters flocked to seaside and

pastoral getaways in the summers. Maine’s Monhegan Island was already an artists’ colony when Kent painted “Down to the Sea” there. The large 1910 work depicting fishermen and their families interacting in small groups along the shoreline is a beautiful study in light and shadow à la Edward Hopper, who would paint on the island six years later. That other master of light, Winslow Homer, is a direct influence on such scenes; both Kent and Hartley revered the 19th-century painter and his latecareer depictions of the sea off coastal Maine. More iconic New England imagery appears in George Biddle’s realistic “Giant Crab” (1941) and Hartley’s “White Cod” (1942), featuring a ghostly pair of dead fish. Says Denenberg of this group of works, “They’re creating a place for old New England in the modern world.” O’Keeffe painted “2 Yellow Leaves (Yellow Leaves)” in 1928, the year before she first visited New Mexico; it probably depicts the fall colors around Alfred Stieglitz’s family home in Lake George, N.Y. (see related story on page 36). In a fascinating pairing, the show also gives us the reassemblage of those colors in the completely abstract “Green, Yellow and Orange,” which O’Keeffe painted 32 years later. Form rather than place concerns the artist in the later painting, and even in the earlier one, it’s form that draws the eye. O’Keeffe’s two aspen leaves, a smaller one atop a larger, slightly damaged one, hint at female and male forms and the transience of their pairing: Already dead, the leaves have been laid on a white surface. “American Moderns” encompasses such a wide variety of form and subject matter that it sometimes seems as if the exhibit could include any work made in America during the 50 years of its range. A final section on “Americana,” for instance, features the illustrator Norman Rockwell’s “The Tattoo Artist” (1944) and a 1951 village winter scene by Grandma Moses, called “Early Skating.” Denenberg explains, “Folk art is a modernist construction of the 1930s.” Moses’ first show, in fact, occurred at the Museum of Modern Art in 1939. When the Shelburne Museum mounts a Grandma Moses exhibit next year, the director says, “our thesis is going to be that she’s a modernist.” If the “modern” era is associated with new and radical change, then “American Moderns” as a whole may be more modern than any particular work in the show. Says Denenberg of the exhibit, “It’s an attempt to broaden the concept of modernism. It adds a little breathing room to it.” m

movies Lambert & Stamp ★★★★
I
f you’re in the mood to listen to classic Who tunes, you hardly need to buy a ticket to this documentary. You could just turn on your TV. Few symbols of ’60s rebellion have proved as eager to sell out as Pete Townshend. He is evidently not even slightly conflicted about further enriching himself by licensing many of the period’s most iconic antiestablishment musical statements to network crime shows and the highest-bidding auto maker. That said (I feel better now), this isn’t really a movie about the Who or their music. As its title suggests, Lambert & Stamp is about the band’s odd-couple management team. It begins with a chance meeting and a clever scheme. Chris Stamp, the younger brother of actor Terence Stamp, was the working-class son of an East End tugboat captain. Kit Lambert, by contrast, was pure posh, the Oxford-educated son of famed composer-conductor Constant Lambert and the godson of ballerina Margot Fonteyn. Lambert was also openly gay when that was still a crime in England. About the only thing the two men had in common was a love of cinema — particularly the French New Wave — and low-level positions at Shepperton Studios in Surrey.
In the mid-’60s, Lambert and Stamp concocted a plan to sneak into the movie business through the back door. They would discover a promising musical group, become its managers and, once the band was topping the charts, make a film about its rise to fame. The young men had zero music-industry experience, but they had something infinitely more useful: unbelievably good luck. The two soon found themselves in a London club filled with mods transfixed by a foursome called the High Numbers. Just imagine how many foursomes were banging away in clubs back then. What were the odds that Lambert and Stamp would stumble on Townshend, Roger Daltrey, John Entwistle and Keith Moon? Or that the future rock legends, rechristened the Who, would entrust their fates to a couple of hustlers with neither cash nor connections? Cinematographer James D. Cooper makes his directorial debut with this entertaining, if incomplete, account of how the six men made it together as far as the creation of the rock opera Tommy before selfdestructing. Daltrey, Townshend and Stamp were the only participants still alive at the time of the shoot. They offer reflections ranging
WHO ARE THEY? Cooper’s directorial debut introduces viewers to the unlikely team responsible for one of rock history’s greatest success stories.
from the regretful (Stamp hoped to realize his dream by directing the movie adaptation of Tommy, but Townshend blocked him) to the magnanimous (Daltrey concedes that the managers were “the fifth and sixth members of the Who”). There’s some fabulous archival footage, too. One wishes Cooper had given us less of the present-day Townshend going on about his various spiritual searches and more about what it was like to attempt managing Entwistle and Moon. After all, not only were those two on the wild side, they were the greatest bassist and drummer in the history of rock. Lambert vanishes about threequarters of the way through the narrative, and his 1981 death is never mentioned, much less explained.

JOY RIDE From left to right: Anger, Disgust, Joy, Fear and Sadness govern the inner world of an 11-year-old girl, as imagined by Pixar.
DISGUST: You just liked this movie because it confirmed your downer worldview, didn’t you, Sadness? Liking movies because you relate to them is so uncool. FEAR: What if people think we’re uncool for having an emotional response to a kids’ movie? What if they think we’re stupid? Quick, think of something smart to say! Maybe an allusion to a French philosopher! Where’s rationality? Where’s abstract thought? JOY: Didn’t you watch the movie? There’s no rationality in the control room. But Joy and Sadness do cross the realm of abstract thought as part of their quest through the wilds of Riley’s mind to save her tainted Core Memories. In a wonderfully creative sequence, conceptual thinking deconstructs

REVIEWS
Inside Out ★★★★★ y now you’ve probably heard that the latest animation from Pixar is a clever visualization of the human psyche. You know that it makes small children giggle and adults weep, and that writer-director Pete Docter (Up) and codirector Ronaldo Del Carmen have found madcap, nonpreachy ways to encourage viewers of all ages to talk more openly about their feelings. But why find new words to praise Inside Out’s central conceit when we could just illustrate it? So I’ve turned the remainder of this review over to my own versions of the five core emotions depicted in the film — Joy (voiced by Amy Poehler), Sadness (Phyllis Smith), Fear (Bill Hader), Disgust (Mindy Kaling) and Anger (Lewis Black). JOY: Guys, this movie is a-maze-ing! Mainly because it’s narrated by Joy. Most of the story takes place inside the head of a little girl named Riley (Kaitlyn Dias), who, like everybody else, is ruled by five emotions struggling for power in an internal control room. Until Riley hits her tween years, Joy is firmly at the helm, touching all her Core Memories and helping form her Personality Islands. SADNESS: But then Riley’s parents move her across the country to San Francisco, and Sadness starts touching all her Core Memories. Because that’s what happens as you grow up.
Despite those and other gaps, there’s no denying Lambert & Stamp offers an immersive, immensely enjoyable account of one of the most unlikely business relationships ever forged. Stamp is a born raconteur and provides some of the picture’s most memorable moments. In my favorite, he returns to Shepperton in 2012 and recalls a meeting held there decades earlier for the purpose of dismissing him. By that time, he’d helped the Who become so successful that they’d bought the studio. “This is ‘mismanagement’?” he muses with a weathered grin. “What is fabulous management?”
their animated figures into nonfigurative shapes. ANGER: Grrr! Stop being so relentlessly upbeat! Joy was my least favorite part of this movie — she was like Tinkerbell without the sass, and she thought Riley would live happily ever after if she could just quarantine Sadness in a tiny circle. How dumb is that? SADNESS: It may be dumb, but people do it all the time. They think if they ignore me, I’ll go away. The movie sets up Joy as the story’s dynamic protagonist and Sadness as her droopy, pathetic antagonist, only to turn that schema, well, inside out. In a nation driven by “positive thinking,” it’s downright subversive. DISGUST: So Pixar wants to create a generation of whiners?
SADNESS: Hey, the movie shows that without me, there’s no true compassion. When you feel like crap, do you go for sympathy to the person with the creepy permasmile? JOY: I resent that! Anyway, there’s so much good stuff we haven’t mentioned yet. How Joy and Sadness enlist the help of Riley’s nearly forgotten imaginary friend, Bing Bong (Richard Kind), a sidekick both absurd and unforgettable. How they all drop in on Riley’s subconscious dream factory, drolly depicted as a Hollywood studio. How Riley’s parents are real people with their own inner conflicts. How you shouldn’t miss the bonus sequence during the credits. DISGUST: Sheesh, would you get off the bandwagon of love for this movie already? It’s not like Pixar needs our help — Inside Out made $90 million last weekend. ANGER: Let’s be contrarian! Complain about how we prefer hand-drawn animation! No one’s going to click on another damn positive review. SADNESS: Sorry, but a movie that satisfies both Joy and me gets at least four stars. It’s a rule. JOY: I’m sure the folks over in abstract thought will go along with this. They know who signs the checks. MARGO T HARRI S O N

Beyond the Lights, a show-biz drama from writer-director Gina Prince-Bythewood, bypassed Vermont multiplexes, but it's scheduled to hit Netflix streaming on June 24. Critics have praised this tale of an up-and-coming pop singer who finds unexpected romance with a cop, promising it's a lot less corny than The Bodyguard.

A shoplifter made off with $150 worth of produce from a supermarket in Belfast, Northern Ireland, but surveillance video showed the thief wearing a Manchester United shirt with “Benson 22” printed on the back. That evidence led police to Paul Robert Benson, 24, who pleaded guilty after District Judge Mervyn Bates told him he might as well have been wearing a “neon sign” identifying him. (Britain’s Metro) A uniformed police officer put his cellphone down on a counter when entering a deli in Bayonne, N.J., but returned to find it missing. Only one other person was in the store: Alvaro Raul Ortega, 34. The officer asked him about the missing phone, and Ortega admitted taking it. The officer arrested Ortega for theft. (Hudson County’s Jersey Journal)
Problem Solved
After complaining for 15 years about school buses cutting him off by running a stop sign while leaving their parking lot in Tulsa, Okla., Josh Holocker posted a video making his case. The Union Public School system responded by replacing the stop sign with a yield sign. “Now, someone is just going to drive right out,” Holocker lamented. (Tulsa’s KOKI-TV)

The Boy Scouts of America ordered a ban on water-gun fights. The organization’s revised National Shooting Manual also forbids Scouts from using “marshmallow shooters that require placing a straw or similar device in the mouth.” (Washington Times)
Muslim televangelist Mücahid Cihad Han warned his Turkish audience that Islam strictly prohibits masturbation and that “those who have sexual intercourse with their hands will find their hands pregnant in the afterlife.” (Turkey’s Hurriyet Daily News) Aiming to provide moral support for Pakistan’s persecuted Christian minority, Pavez Henry Gill is building a 14-story bulletproof cross at the entrance to a Christian cemetery in the middle of Karachi. He had hoped the 140-foot-high, 42-foot-long iron, steel and concrete structure would be the world’s tallest cross, but it will fall 68 feet short of the “Great Cross” in Florida. Still, it will be the biggest in Asia. (Associated Press)
Crime-Stopper of the Week
A Subway sandwich shop in Knoxville, Tenn., became the first location in the United States to install the Intruder Spray System. The device, which has been used in 30 other countries in the past decade, sits above a door and, when activated, showers a person with synthetic DNA that can’t be washed off, is visible only under ultraviolet light and is traceable for up to seven weeks.

Wrong Arm of the Law
Police officer Shaun Jurgens resigned from the Fredericksburg, Va., police department after using his Taser and pepper spray on a hit-and-run suspect traveling in the wrong direction who refused to obey orders to show his hands and exit the vehicle. Jurgens said he presumed the driver was under the influence of drugs or alcohol, but he was actually having a medical emergency, possibly a stroke. (Fredericksburg Free Lance-Star) The city manager and the police chief of Whitehouse, Texas, were suspended, along with three other police officers, in an incident that began when City Manager Kevin Huckabee and visibly intoxicated Chief Craig Shelton visited the estranged wife of officer Shawn Johnson. Shelton made sexual advances toward her but then came to his senses and left. Jessica Johnson called her husband about the incident. He arrived just before Shelton returned and proceeded to beat him up. Shelton texted Shawn Johnson, threatening his job, but he inadvertently sent the message to most, if not all, of the police force. Johnson was suspended, as were two other officers who reported the events to other law-enforcement agencies. Huckabee then suspended Shelton and himself. (Tyler’s KYTX-TV)

CANCER
(JUNE 21-JULY 22) In its early days, the band Depeche Mode had the infinitely boring name Composition of sound. Humphrey bogart and Ingrid bergman’s classic 1942 film Casablanca was dangerously close to being called Everybody Come to Rick’s. And before Charles Dickens published his novel Bleak House, a scathing critique of the 19th-century british judicial system, he considered 11 other possible titles, including the unfortunate Tom-all-Alone’s. The Solitary House that was always shut up and never Lighted. I bring this to your attention, Cancerian, as the seeding phase of your personal cycle gets underway. The imprints you put on your budding creations will have a major impact on their future. name them well. Give them a potent start.

(April 20-May 20): “everyone is a genius at least once a year,” wrote German aphorist Georg Christoph Lichtenberg. “The real geniuses simply have their bright ideas
gemini (May 21-June 20): “I think if we didn’t contradict ourselves, it would be awfully boring,” says author Paul Auster. “It would be tedious to be alive.” but he goes even further in his defense of inconsistency, adding, “Changing your mind is probably one of the most beautiful things people can do.” This bold assertion may not apply to everyone all the time, but it does for you in the coming weeks, Gemini. you should feel free to explore and experiment with the high art of changing your mind. I dare you to use it to generate extravagant amounts of beauty. leo (July 23-Aug. 22): one summer after-
noon when I was 7 years old, my friend billy and I grabbed an empty jar from my kitchen and went looking for ants. near the creek we found an anthill swarming with black ants, and we scooped a bunch of them into the jar. A little later we came upon a caravan of red ants, and we shoved many of them in with the black ants. Would they fight? naturally. It was mayhem. Looking back now, I’m sorry I participated in that stunt. Why stir up a pointless war? In that spirit, Leo, I urge you to avoid unnecessary conflicts. Don’t do anything remotely comparable to putting red ants and black ants in the same jar.
Virgo (Aug. 23-sept. 22): In order for everyone in your sphere to meet their appointed destinies, you must cultivate your skills as a party animal. I’m only slightly joking. At least for now, it’s your destiny to be the catalyst of conviviality, the ringleader of the festivities, the engineer of fun and games. to fulfill your assignment, you may have to instigate
liBra (sept. 23-oct. 22): your symbolic object of the week is a magic wand. I recommend that you visualize yourself as the star of a fairy tale in which you do indeed have a wand at your disposal. see yourself wielding it to carry out a series of fantastic tricks, like materializing a pile of gold coins or giving yourself an extraordinary power to concentrate or creating an enchanted drink that allows you to heal your toughest wound. I think this playful imaginative exercise will subtly enhance your ability to perform actual magic in the real world.
caPricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “Man’s being is like a vast mansion,” observed philosopher Colin Wilson, “yet he seems to prefer to live in a single room in the basement.” Wilson wasn’t just referring to Capricorns. He meant everybody. Most of us commit the sin of self-limitation on a regular basis. That’s the bad news. The good news, Capricorn, is that you’re entering a time when you’re more likely to rebel against the unconscious restrictions you have placed on yourself. you will have extra motivation to question and overrule the rationales that you used in the past to inhibit your primal energy. Won’t it be fun to venture out of your basement nook and go explore the rest of your domain?

planet saturn wove its way through the sign of scorpio from october 2012 until the end of 2014. now it has slipped back into your sign for a last hurrah. between now and midseptember. I urge you to milk its rigorous help in every way you can imagine. for example, cut away any last residues of trivial desires and frivolous ambitions. Hone your focus and streamline your self-discipline. once and for all, withdraw your precious energy from activities that waste your time and resist your full engagement. And if you’re serious about capitalizing on saturn’s demanding gifts, try this ritual: Write either “I will never squander my riches” or “I will make full use of my riches” 20 times — whichever motivates you most.
sagittarius (nov. 22-Dec. 21): The advanced lessons on tap in the coming days are not for the squeamish, the timid, the lazy or the stubborn. but then you’re not any of those things, right? so there shouldn’t be a major problem. The purpose of these subterranean adventures and divine interventions is to teach you to make nerve-racking leaps of faith, whether or not you believe you’re ready. Here’s one piece of advice that I think will help: Don’t resist and resent the tests as they appear. rather, welcome them as blessings you don’t understand yet. be alert for the liberations they will offer.
moth from Latin America saved Australia’s pasture-land from the overgrowth of cactus,” writes biologist edward o. Wilson. “A Madagascar ‘weed,’ the rosy periwinkle, provided the cure for Hodgkin’s disease and childhood leukemia,” he adds, while “a chemical from the saliva of leeches dissolves blood clots during surgery,” and a “norwegian fungus made possible the organ transplant industry.” I think these are all great metaphors for the kind of healing that will be available for you in the coming weeks, Aquarius: humble, simple, seemingly insignificant things whose power to bring transformation has, up until now, been secret or unknown.
Pisces
(feb. 19-March 20): “she is hard to tempt, as everything seems to please her equally,” said artist Anne raymo in describing a hedonistic acquaintance. A similar statement may soon apply to you, Pisces. you will have a talent for finding amusement in an unusually wide variety of phenomena. but more than that: you could become a connoisseur of feeling really good. you may even go so far as to break into a higher octave of pleasure, communing with exotic phenomena that we might call silken thrills and spicy bliss and succulent revelry.

aries (March 21-April 19): During my regular hikes along my favorite trails, I’ve gotten to know the local boulders quite intimately. It might sound daft, but I’ve come to love them. I’ve even given some of them names. They symbolize stability and constancy to me. When I gaze at them or sit on them, I feel my own resolve grow stronger. They teach me about how to be steadfast and unflappable in all kinds of weather. I draw inspiration from the way they are so purely themselves, forever true to their own nature. now would be an excellent time for you to hang out with your own stony allies, Aries. you could use a boost in your ability to express the qualities they embody.
closer together.” According to my astrological analysis, taurus, your once-a-year explosion of genius is imminent. It’s even possible you will experience a series of eruptions that continue for weeks. The latter scenario is most likely if you unleash the dormant parts of your intelligence through activities like these: having long, rambling conversations with big thinkers; taking long, rambling walks all over creation; enjoying long, rambling sex while listening to provocative music.

Sincerely,
Dear Blowless Joe,
Blowless Joe
Well, you’re certainly enthusiastic. And you seem to care deeply for your girlfriend and her feelings. That’s a great foundation for getting closer to her — and inviting her to get closer to you. Or at least to your “pecker.” You’re right to wonder about her past experiences. One rotten blow job can ruin it for future lovers. Perhaps that’s what’s going on here. But I think you should consider a few other common hang-ups, too. I recently responded to a letter from “Joann to Blowann” [May 27], a woman who doesn’t enjoy giving head. Read it. It’ll help you understand a woman’s perspective on oral. Mutual pleasure, hygiene, positioning, technique and a feeling of submission all come into play. Bottom line? Oral can be a lot more complicated than it seems. You say you love to go down on your girlfriend. But does she enjoy it as much as you do? Is she having orgasms? Just because you prefer oral to intercourse doesn’t mean she does. Find out what drives her wild and she’ll be more likely to return the favor. Here’s another question: How often do you bathe? If she thinks your junk smells, or it did that one time she went down there, she’ll be less likely to make a return trip. So lather up. It’s so much nicer crawling into bed when the sheets are fresh out of the laundry, if you get my drift. Before you do anything, talk to her. You seem to really care about reciprocity and the shared experience of lovemaking. Bring that attitude to the discussion so that she doesn’t feel rushed or pressured. Open up to her about your own experiences. What turns you on? What turns you off? Ask her to be open with you, too. If she does go down on you, your response will be crucial. Blow jobs can be intimidating. Some women even find them degrading. So be gentle and encouraging, and don’t give her too many instructions. She’ll need to feel confident if she’s ever going to do it again. And that’s what you want, after all: for her to do it again. And again. And again.
Yours,
Athena

Oral Champion Recently separated professional looking for casual, discreet fun while the world gets sorted out. maple2015, 52
I love oral sex — giving and receiving. To me, it’s a lusty, primal, liberating way of sharing pleasure. Intercourse is good, but it doesn’t provide the same pure, concentrated bliss that good oral can bring. Trouble is, my girlfriend isn’t quite as into it as I am. She doesn’t mind me going down on her (which I do, with relish and gusto), but it’s rare that I get more than a passing peck on the pecker from her. I have expressed to her that, as much as I enjoy giving, I also enjoy receiving, and I have asked her why she’s reluctant to give. But if she has an answer, she’s never been able to articulate it. I get the feeling there may be some unspoken past trauma making the act distasteful for her, but I don’t wish to pry. How might I better express to her my yearning without feeling like I’m coercing her into doing something she despises?

Ginger Beard with the Low-Tech Truck I have laughed with you over my Coke-bottle prescription glasses, kissed you hundreds of times on my tippy-toes, sung along with you to perverse ‘80s music, enjoyed every nerdy photo of you in your mother’s hallway, watched the sunset with you and loved every minute of it because of you. Thank you for everything. Simply put, you’re wonderful. When: Thursday, June 18, 2015. Where: Colchester. You: Man. Me: Woman. #912997 I HAVE FALLEN — OXBOW FIELD! You: black hair, gorgeous blue eyes and red shoes! You were wearing black and white. We were enjoying a beautiful night and exchanged smiles. When I looked again, you were gone!

Me: Man. #912996 Speeder & Earl’s picnic table You: sitting outside at the picnic table. Sweet smile and arrows on your tee. Me: long brown hair, on a bike. I looped back around for a second look. You smiled at me as I went into the art gallery thinking it was the coffee shop. Do you have that effect on everyone? Share a coffee sometime? When: Wednesday, June 17, 2015. Where: Speeder & Earl’s, Pine St. You: Man. Me: Woman. #912995 Waterworks, across the bar You were with your friend, across the bar from me. I was on a first date, but we kept meeting each other’s gaze. I wanted to say hi, but it seemed rude given the situation.

Me: Man. #912994 Classic Toyota, South Barre Hannaford We passed on foot in the parking lot. You were heading in, and I was heading out. I said, “I like your car.” You smiled and thanked me.
