Queen City Welcomes

urlington Mayor Miro Weinberger said the city would welcome migrants apprehended at the southern U.S. border if President Donald Trump makes good on his threat to send them to sanctuary cities. President Trump tweeted last Friday that he is “giving strong considerations to placing Illegal Immigrants” in municipalities that limit cooperation with federal immigration authorities. On Monday, the mayor called the president’s latest proposal “un-American.” “Here in Burlington, we do not buy into, we do not support [Trump’s] very dark vision of immigrants that are attempting to come to this country to seek asylum,” Weinberger said at an afternoon news conference. He noted that immigrants in the Queen City are often “fleeing very difficult situations” and have enriched Burlington’s community. Weinberger said he was compelled to react to Trump’s tweets, including one saying the federal government “has

coop some poop, then score a free lunch and a beer. The Lake Champlain Committee, an organization dedicated to keeping waterways clean, has teamed up with Magic Hat Brewing for an April Stools’ Day event on Wednesday, April 24. Volunteers will meet at Red Rocks Park in South Burlington to pick up a winter’s worth of “hound mounds.” Then the group will head to Burlington and hit four parks before lunch and an awards ceremony at the Magic Hat Artifactory. The South Burlington brewery uses lake water for its beer, “so it’s really important that we protect our waterways,” said events manager Katie DeWitt.

The number of human trafficking victims who received services in Vermont jumped almost 400 percent between 2015 and 2017. 2. “Man’s Death Following Fight With Burlington Cop Ruled Homicide” by Derek Brouwer.

WHAT’S WEIRD IN VERMONT Dog poop carries nutrients that feed the growth of weeds and algae and can even nourish cyanobacteria, according to Lori Fisher, LCC’s executive director. “[The Environmental Protection Agency] estimates that two or three days’ worth of droppings from just 100 dogs contributes enough bacteria to temporarily close a water body to fishing and swimming,” she said. That’s bad news in a state where the health of Lake Champlain is already a hot-button issue. Fisher’s group has held cleanups for about 10 years. So far this month, scoopers have hit parks in Winooski and St. Albans, while a dozen

the absolute legal right” to transport migrants from the border to sanctuary cities around the country. It’s unclear whether the U.S. Department of Homeland Security has taken any action to enforce Trump’s plan, but in case things move quickly, Weinberger said, the city is prepared. The mayor discussed the issue with city officials and has contacted state and federal groups connected to immigration issues, he said, should the plan be enacted. Weinberger stated that this planning isn’t an overreaction, despite the president’s well-known tendency to tweet policy statements that lack plausibility. “It is very difficult to decipher what is real from what is just bluster and posturing,” Weinberger said. “I am taking this seriously, though. I do sense that this may not materialize, but on the other hand … there has been turnover in Homeland Security in recent days over disagreements over policies.” Weinberger has waded into the immigration debate before. In 2016, the city pushed back against Trump’s efforts to “deputize our law enforcement officers” as border agents, the mayor said. And in 2017, Burlington celebrated when a federal court ruled that the U.S. Department of Justice couldn’t revoke funding for cities that fail to enforce immigration directives.

volunteers at the Williston Community Park last week picked up 800 dog droppings across just one mile of trails, Fisher said. “It’s a great way to just get outdoors, get a

little exercise and do some good at the same time,” she said. Fisher expects an even bigger haul from the April 24 event. About 50 Magic Hat employees will participate, according to DeWitt. And any community member is eligible — and encouraged — to sign up. DeWitt said she’ll hide a “golden stool” in one of the parks. Whoever finds it will win a prize, as will those who bring in the top three biggest bounties. But will the volunteers be ready to eat lunch after hours of scooping doo-doo? “There’ll be plenty of time to wash up and be in a less-redolent area,” Fisher said with a laugh. “Hopefully people won’t lose their appetite over it.” SASHA GOLDSTEIN SEVEN DAYS APRIL 17-24, 2019

FEEDback READER REACTION TO RECENT ARTICLES

STAR IS REBORN

It was my honor and privilege to introduce Star Parker at a recent Vermont Republican Party event on April 5, which also happened to be the 163rd anniversary of Booker T. Washington’s birth. John Walters, in his April 10 Fair Game column, labeled Star Parker as “ultraconservative.” Really? As founder and president of CURE (the Center for Urban Renewal and Education), Star Parker is the real deal. Her autobiography Pimps, Whores and Welfare Brats: From Welfare Cheat to Conservative Messenger tells her story. For seven years, she was a welfare cheat using “every trick in the book” to beat the system, undergoing several abortions along the way. She finally turned her life around after a long, hard look — brought on by her conversion to Christianity — at how she had been wasting her life and destroying others’, as well. As a black woman, she writes authoritatively and extensively on politics, policy and racial polarization in a sincere effort to offer sensible solutions to some of the greatest challenges facing our nation today. Star Parker desires to help “save America from itself” with an approach grounded in respect for faith, family and individual freedom. However, Mr. Walters pejoratively deems this view as “ultra-conservative.” Using his terminology, then, I respectfully invite Mr. Walters to take a long, hard look at where the current “ultra-left,” so-called “progressive” socialist policies — as history has repeatedly and consistently proven — will inevitably take us. Ronald Court

CORRECTION

A story last week titled “Emails Detail Conflict in Choosing Burlington School Principals” misstated why former Burlington High School guidance director Mario Macias lost his teaching license. A state panel found Macias guilty of three of seven alleged violations but did not find that he acted inappropriately toward a student teacher or deliberately falsified a student transcript.

but attract even more of the wealthy. Let us not tax the few who are left more, but come up with a better tax strategy to widen the revenue base. Much as we have developed a favorable tax and regulatory environment for captive insurance companies, we should do the same for our friends and neighbors who have prospered in life. Let us do so for all Vermonters. Gregory Maguire

NO PLACE FOR PLASTIC

END SEX TRAFFICKING

Kate O’Neill’s story [“Trafficked: How the Opioid Epidemic Drives Sexual Exploitation in Vermont,” April 10] is horrifying and heartbreaking. Thank you for bringing a hidden problem into the light. I’d like to see the court system pursue the customers involved in sex trafficking; without their business, sex trafficking would come to a screeching halt. The article and Kate’s sister’s story testify to how important it is to reach opiate-addicted women as early as possible, when intervention programs would be most successful and the consequences of their drug use would be less grave. Even better, why not try to prevent drug abuse from starting in the first place? Imagine if the women Kate profiled could meet with troubled young girls to share their stories before they tried opiates or other drugs for the first time. I would love to see a follow-up story with former sex-trafficking victims who have had an opportunity to take advantage of the residential program Kate mentioned in her story. It would help show those still struggling with addiction that there is hope for recovery with an adequate support system. Lisa McCormack

SERIOUSLY FUNNY

[Re The Parmelee Post: “Local Recyclables Take to the Streets to Demand Covered Bins,” April 5]: I’m grateful for Bryan Parmelee’s humorous twist on a serious issue: preserving our recycling efforts so they don’t go to waste. Along with

landlords, city officials and public safety, we ordinary waste-producing and recycling folk on the Champlain Islands are exploring steps to preserve our drinking water, wetlands, streams, fields, forests, beaches, tributaries, wildlife and children affected by the thoughtless discard of trash so that Lake Champlain, if she could speak, would sigh a big old “thank you.” Gwen Donovan GRAND ISLE

STAY OR GO?

[Re “Are the Rich Really Running From Vermont’s ‘Death Tax’?” April 3]: I am thrilled that we are having this discussion. Our state’s attributes come at a high price. We need money to clean our lake, provide for our aging population, lead in the elimination of carbon consumption, and educate both our youth and those of us struggling to develop skills in an everchanging job market. Many Vermonters are choosing to move their residences elsewhere. There is a reason Florida is the biggest destination out of Burlington International Airport: Those who lived here and love it now reside there — and avoid our high taxes. Those who say there are no data showing this remind me of the Hans Christian Andersen tale of The Emperor’s New Clothes. All I can say to them is, “Do you not see how many people own property in Florida?!” Warm weather is not the only motivator; a tax accountant I know said it would be professionally irresponsible of him not to advise the wealthy to move their residences out of Vermont. Let us not only repatriate our brethren,

It is time that Vermont got up to speed on the issue of single-use plastic pollution [Off Message: “Vermont Senate Backs Ban on Single-Use Plastic Bags, Foam Containers,” March 29]. The world is awash in plastic. A whale starved, full of 88 pounds of plastic bags. The Great Pacific Garbage Patch. Plastic beach wastelands in Singapore, Wales and Hawaii. Microplastics in our food, soil and waters. Toxins in our wells. Plastics in the Coventry landfill. Plastic pollution is a moral issue charging us with the responsibility to take care of our own mess. If we enact laws guiding us to thoughtful plastic consumption and disposal, plus sensible oversight of the waste stream within our borders, we can decrease pollution in our state waters, soils and landfill. S.113 is one such bill banning single-use plastics, introduced and passed in the Vermont Senate. The Senate passed S.113 unanimously. Gov. Phil Scott said he would support the bill. The House is busy with lots of legislation, but we can and must get this done. We must tell House members that this legislation is that important. Email and phone your representatives, as well as the speaker of the House, Mitzi Johnson. Also contact the chair of the House Committee on Natural Resources, Fish and Wildlife, Amy Sheldon, and other committee members. Please do this now! Judith Augsberg

FAIR GAME

OPEN SEASON ON VERMONT POLITICS BY JOHN WALTERS

The Statehouse Foretold

ime is growing short for the 2019 legislative session. Adjournment is expected in a month or less. And that means the final crunch is about to begin. “We’ve got all these bills at the top of a funnel,” said Rep. DYLAN GIAMBATISTA (D-Essex). “Only some of them will get through. It’s funnel time.” That process will take place over the next two weeks. Here’s an educated look at key bills — where they are and where they might end up. We’ll even consult the Magic 8 Ball for insight. A couple of things to bear in mind: First, this is year No. 1 of a biennium. Any bills that aren’t passed before adjournment will get a second chance in 2020. That reduces the pressure to get things done right now. Second, we’re evaluating chances for legislative passage this session. We’ll save our assessments of possible gubernatorial vetoes for another day.

Full cannabis legalization: In 2018, the legislature legalized cultivation and possession of marijuana in Vermont. This year, the Senate has approved 12:58 PM S.54, which would establish a taxedand-regulated cannabis marketplace. The bill is currently before the House Government Operations Committee, whose chair, Rep. SARAH COPELAND HANZAS (D-Bradford), believes that it “absolutely can” be approved by the full House this year. Others are not so certain. After Gov Ops, the bill has to go through the Ways & Means and Appropriations committees. “We’ve never had a cannabis revenue bill,” said Ways & Means chair JANET ANCEL (D-Calais). That’s legislative code for, “We might need to take time,” and time is in short supply. Magic 8 Ball says: “Don’t count on it.” Abortion rights: The House has approved H.57, a bill to codify abortion rights in state law. The Senate has approved Proposition 5, which would establish full reproductive rights in Vermont’s constitution. The latter must be adopted by a majority vote in the House this year or next. It would then wait until 2021, when both chambers would have to approve it again by majority votes. If all that happens, it would go to a statewide vote in November 2022. There seems to be no doubt that Prop 5 will clear the House and H.57 will sail through the Senate this year. Magic 8 Ball says: “You may rely on it.”

Paid family leave: The House has approved H.107, which would establish a statewide family and medical leave program funded by a tax on employers and employees. (For an in-depth report, see page 14.) It’s a top priority for House leadership but faces a cooler reception in the Senate, which favors increasing the minimum wage as a way to help working Vermonters. “We have some work to do to convince people,” said Senate Majority Leader BECCA BALINT (D-Windham). “There may be some changes [in H.107] on the Senate side.”

WE’VE GOT ALL THESE BILLS AT THE TOP OF A FUNNEL.

ONLY SOME WILL GET THROUGH.

R E P. D YL AN GIAMBAT I S TA

It’s doubtful the Senate would completely ditch the House bill in favor of Gov. PHIL SCOTT’S proposal for a voluntary leave program, but it could modify the benefits or eligibility levels approved by the House. “I think we have the votes in caucus,” Balint concluded. Magic 8 Ball says: “Signs point to yes.” Minimum wage increase: Same song, different verse. The Senate has approved S.23, which would raise the minimum wage to $15 per hour by the year 2024. The House needs some convincing. “It’s a very tough conversation,” said Rep. TOM STEVENS (D-Waterbury), chair of the House General, Housing and Military Affairs Committee, which is now considering the bill. “We’ve heard strong testimony on both sides.” Still, he thinks the bill will clear his committee by the end of next week. After that, “I’m optimistic we’ll get it done,” said House Majority Leader JILL KROWINSKI (D-Burlington), who predicts “some minor changes, but I expect it to move through the House. It’s a priority for the caucus.” Magic 8 Ball says: “Outlook good.” Clean water funding: This is the great unresolved question of the 2018 session: How to pay for a federally mandated program to make Vermont’s waterways cleaner. The Senate approved a bill creating a framework for administering the

program — but failed to specify where the money would come from. That hot potato has been tossed over to House Ways & Means. “My intent is to create a funding source,” committee chair Ancel said. “We’re looking at a bunch of ideas.” She would not name any of them, but she did list some principles guiding the discussion. Scott’s idea of using the estate tax is out, as is taking proceeds from existing sources such as income or property taxes. “The [U.S. Environmental Protection Agency] says it has to be a dedicated revenue source,” Ancel said, adding that she prefers a source that has “some connection to water.” That could mean a per-parcel fee — an annual assessment on property owners — which Treasurer BETH PEARCE originally proposed in her 2017 study of the issue. Temporary funding, established by the legislature two years ago, expires this summer. Lawmakers are under pressure to deliver a replacement before then. Magic 8 Ball says: “Yes, definitely.” As for the details: “Ask again later.” Waiting period for handgun purchases: The Senate has adopted S.169, which would mandate a 24-hour waiting period before purchasing a handgun. It now awaits action by the House Judiciary Committee. Sen. PHIL BARUTH (D/P-Chittenden) calls it “basically a leadership issue at this point,” meaning it’s up to them. Those leaders are preaching caution. “We’re actively talking to caucus members,” Krowinski said. “We’re getting a lot of questions.” She then implied that the bill might be held over for 2020: “It’s a piece of legislation that people need some time with.” Ouch. Magic 8 Ball says: “Don’t count on it.” Weatherization: The House approved a bill that would increase the tax on heating fuel by two cents to pay for an expansion of the state’s home weatherization program for low-income Vermonters. The fuel tax was quickly shot down by Senate President Pro Tempore TIM ASHE (D/PChittenden), who views it as regressive. But that doesn’t mean the concept is dead. “We want to commit at least as much money to weatherization as the House, if not more,” Balint said. But the Senate will almost certainly identify a different revenue source. What might that be? “We’re in the noodling phase,” said Balint, refusing to identify any ideas or even general principles.

GOT A TIP FOR JOHN? JOHNWALTERS@SEVENDAYSVT.COM

Senate leadership is interested in expanding the program to working-class and middle-class Vermonters who also have difficulty affording home weatherization. Balint acknowledged that the move would make the program “more broadly appealing politically.” Magic 8 Ball says: “You may rely on it.”

grants to local entities,” Balint said. But, she added, “We are really coming up to speed on these issues.” That’s usually code for “Not now or anytime soon.” But Balint does expect action of some kind. “My guess is we will get parts of the House bill passed,” she said. “Others may wait until next year.” That could include the funding increases, which Balint’s colleagues support — in concept. More code. Magic 8 Ball says: “Reply hazy, try again.”

POLITICS

Lead testing for school drinking water: The Senate quickly approved a bill to test school drinking water for lead. This seemed like a no-brainer in January, but the bill has been languishing in the House Education Committee, which embarked on a broader discussion of school health, safety and infrastructure issues. “They have slow-walked it,” said an exasperated Baruth, the bill’s original sponsor. Education Committee chair KATE WEBB (D-Shelburne) offered no apologies, but acknowledged pressure “to get this done quickly” so lead testing and remediation can be done before schools open this fall. On passing a bill, Magic 8 Ball says: “It is certain.” But on the details: “Concentrate and ask again.” Act 46 implementation delay: Both chambers want to smooth the process for school districts that are behind schedule on implementing merger plans under Act 46, a 2015 law meant to encourage — and eventually require — district mergers. But the House and Senate differ on exactly how to do that. The issue is now before a conference committee of the two chambers, which had its third meeting on Tuesday morning. “We’re making headway,” said Baruth, chair of the Senate Education Committee and cochair of the HouseSenate panel. He hoped to reach agreement by the end of this week. Magic 8 Ball says: “Without a doubt.” Rural broadband expansion: The House has approved a bill that would provide more funding for broadband development throughout Vermont. The money would come from a half-cent increase in a fee levied on every phone bill in the state and would pay for grants and loans to community-based providers such as the Upper Valley’s ECFiber. The bill is awaiting action in the Senate Economic Development, Housing and General Affairs Committee. “I’m hopeful we’ll see it pass,” said the bill’s lead sponsor, Rep. TIM BRIGLIN (D-Thetford), chair of the House Energy and Technology Committee. Balint, a member of Senate Economic Development, is pumping the brakes a bit. “I like the House’s idea of giving

Buprenorphine decriminalization: A bill introduced in the House would decriminalize possession of buprenorphine, a slow-acting opioid that can help to fend off the symptoms of withdrawal from much more powerful drugs such as heroin and fentanyl. Supporters say ready access to “bupe” can save lives by helping users wean themselves from harder drugs. Opponents say it should only be administered by prescription. The bill is now before the House Human Services Committee. “It’s a complicated issue,” said committee chair ANN PUGH (D-South Burlington). More code for “delay.” But in this case, Pugh added, “I’m confident we will say yes.” The bill would then go on to the House floor, where Krowinski is ready with more code words. “I’ll have to get back to you on that,” she said. Doesn’t sound promising. And even if the full House approves decriminalization, the Senate wouldn’t take up the bill until next year. Magic 8 Ball says: “Outlook not so good.” This is when legislative leaders earn their stripes. With time running short, they have to make the tough calls and ensure that key bills cross the finish line. “Funnel time” will determine the success or failure of the Democratic/Progressive supermajorities to deliver on their 2019 agenda. If they can pass — and avoid or override gubernatorial vetoes — on bills such as paid family leave, minimum wage, abortion rights, cannabis legalization, funding the waterways cleanup and weatherization, they could rightly claim success. If not, the Vermonters who sent all those Dems and Progs to Montpelier may start wondering if they invested their votes wisely. m

Family Peeve: A Few House Rebels Could Block the Supermajority B Y K E VI N MCCA LLUM

SEVEN DAYS APRIL 17-24, 2019

TIM NEWCOMB

rebel band of fiscally conservative Democrats from southwestern Vermont is testing party leaders’ patience and ability to deliver on one of their top legislative priorities: paid family and medical leave. The five holdouts, who, like Republican Gov. Phil Scott, question the size and mandatory nature of the new benefit program passed by the House, have made it clear that legislative leaders are not guaranteed the firepower to outgun the governor in a possible veto showdown. Rep. Cynthia Browning (D-Arlington), ringleader of the rogue faction, said that by denying party leadership a 100-vote veto-proof majority on H.107 earlier this month, they’ve underscored how important fiscal restraint is to some members of the caucus. They hope to craft a plan more modest than the $76 million program the House passed April 5. Browning recognizes that House Speaker Mitzi Johnson (D-South Hero) and other top party officials are displeased and said she fully expects the arm-twisting to intensify as end-of-session negotiations approach. “I just hope that Mitzi doesn’t get a stun gun,” Browning said. The proposed program passed with 92 yes votes — 16 more than necessary to send it along to the Senate. Johnson, who does not own a stun gun or plan to buy one, hailed the tally as a “terrific success” on an issue for which many new House members campaigned. She dismissed the notion that passing the bill with fewer than 100 votes suggested potential trouble ahead. “At this stage, we need to count to 76,” she said, citing the number needed for a simple majority. A closer look at the total number of yes votes cast during the debate, as well as the anticipated support of five lawmakers who were absent, suggests 97 members actually support the bill as passed, Johnson said. “Ninety-seven is a lot of people to say yes,” the speaker said, noting that the number exceeds the 90 votes last year’s family leave bill received before Scott vetoed it. Yet it’s still short of the two-thirds threshold the 150-member chamber would need to override a gubernatorial veto. After Democrats picked up 12 seats in the Vermont House last fall, many

presumed that party members and their Progressive allies, by virtue of holding a combined 102 seats, would enjoy a vetoproof majority. The vote on paid family leave shows that unity of Progs and Dems is not a given, which was certainly not lost on the governor himself. “I think it does send a message to the Senate that this is not a slam dunk,” Scott said last week. The House bill would require employers that don’t offer a plan to collect a 0.55 percent payroll tax from all employees. Businesses could choose to cover part or all of the cost of the insurance themselves. For those making $58,000 per year, the median household income in Vermont, the tax would amount to $318 per year, according to an estimate by the Joint Fiscal Office.

The bill would allow workers to take up to 12 weeks off to bond with a new child or eight weeks to care for a parent or recover from a serious illness. Benefits would be more generous for lower-income workers. Those earning $27,000 or less would receive 90 percent of their wages during leave. Higher earners — those making between $27,000 and about $70,000 — would receive 50 percent of their salary with a cap of $1,334 per week. Concerned about burdening businesses and workers further, Scott and Republican New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu proposed instead a voluntary program with more modest benefits. Their plan would allow businesses to decide whether they want to participate in a program that would grant workers up to six weeks of paid leave.

To create a large enough risk pool and keep costs down, the governors proposed enrolling the two states’ 18,500 government workers in the program. Senate Republicans introduced a bill, S.151, that adheres to Scott’s plan, but it’s languishing in committee. Scott declined to say whether he’d veto a mandatory proposal from the legislature similar to what the House passed, but he made it clear he thought a “Cadillac” plan was too much, too soon. “We could end up exactly where they are in a few years, but at this point let’s walk before we run,” he said. Browning is taking that idea and running with it. The former college economics professor, who describes herself as a Blue Dog, or fiscally conservative, Democrat, has done more than just oppose the House bill. She cosponsored an amendment promoting an alternative program that gave similarly skeptical colleagues another path forward. Her proposal would have offered less generous benefits, maxing out at four weeks, which Browning acknowledged was “stingy.” Importantly, the proposal would have allowed employees to opt out of paying the tax (and receiving any potential benefits). It ultimately failed, despite support from the five rebel Democrats, a handful of independents and all 43 Republicans. Browning agreed with the governor that it makes more sense to “start small” and build the program over time. She said she doesn’t want Vermont to repeat a pattern of offering benefits it can’t afford, something she believes led to the state’s underfunded pension liability. Browning hopes the pushback will cause the Senate to “reel it back a little bit.” The four other moderate Democrats who voted against the bill all expressed similar concerns over its costs and mandatory nature. “I don’t think employees should be forced into this program,” Rep. Tim Corcoran (D-Bennington) said. “I felt that it should be opt-in.” While he supports the concept of paid leave, Corcoran said his constituents have also expressed other priorities that include funding for health care, childcare and water quality. “You’re taking $80 million out of that conversation,” Corcoran said.

GOT A NEWS TIP? NEWS@SEVENDAYSVT.COM

POLITICS He said it’s premature to say how he might vote if the House is asked to override a Scott veto. Corcoran is hoping it won’t come to that if leadership listens to his and others’ concerns. “They understand our caucus is a broad range of different views, and they have to take that into account,” he said. “Hopefully, they will.” Since the bill will likely change in the Senate, a vote on a compromise version will be more telling than the one on April 5, Johnson said. And if the governor ultimately rejects the proposal, it would set up a very different decision. “The question on veto override is, ‘Do you want to support or prevent this bill from actually becoming law?’” Johnson said. “That really changes the weight of the discussion.” Senate President Pro Tempore Tim Ashe (D/P-Chittenden) said the lower chamber’s vote “informs our actions” but does not govern them.

I JUST HOPE THAT MITZI DOESN’T

GET A STUN GUN.

REP. CYNT HIA B ROWN ING

“As a matter of just doing business in the Senate, we do not start off by saying, ‘How can we make a handful of House members happy?’” Ashe said. His priority is to increase the state’s minimum wage, which he views as the most effective way to bring people out of poverty. In February, the Senate approved raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour by 2024, and the measure is now under consideration by House committees. Ashe hopes both initiatives become law but acknowledges that compromise on paid family leave may prove tricky given the baked-in differences between proposals. “Is there a word for something between mandatory and voluntary?” he asked. Johnson and Ashe both noted that the House didn’t initially have the votes to override governor Jim Douglas’ 2009 veto of Vermont’s landmark marriage equity law. The Senate passed the bill by a veto-proof margin, but the House could only muster 95 votes. After a frantic weekend rallying support, House leadership convinced enough members to switch their votes, and 100 representatives voted to override.

As for paid leave, some areas that seem ripe for potential compromise are actually fraught with conflict. Browning’s idea of allowing individuals to opt out would result in higher costs as the pool of insured employees shrinks. Trimming the length of the benefit is also a nonstarter for some. Ashley Moore, a lobbyist for the Vermont Main Street Alliance, a business group that has been pushing for paid family leave for several years, called the 12 weeks of paternity care the “minimum standard” the organization was willing to accept. “We’re not interested in passing a benefit with significantly less time than what was outlined in the existing bill,” Moore said. Complicating matters further was the unexpected death of Rep. Robert Forguites (D-Springfield) last week. Forguites, who was 80, voted in favor of the legislation and died in his sleep days later. Until Scott names Forguites’ successor, that leaves 96 representatives presumed to support the House bill. As speaker, Johnson doesn’t typically vote. But if she did to help override a veto, three representatives would still need to reverse their votes to reach 100. Rep. Linda Joy Sullivan (D-Dorset), who voted against the bill, predicted that reversal might be tougher than leadership presumes because “seasoned legislators” cast some of the votes. She cited Corcoran, who was first elected in 2002, and Rep. David Potter (D-Clarendon), first elected in 2005, as examples of veteran lawmakers who would likely “hold firm.” Freshman Rep. Chris Bates (D-Bennington) is the fifth defector. He expressed concern that the plan would be mandatory and businesses of 10 people or fewer wouldn’t be required to give people their jobs back when leave was over. Sullivan feels the bill was rushed through the House without sufficient analysis, in part because leadership felt they had the votes this year to ram it though. “They went at it as though they had a supermajority,” Sullivan said, “but, in fact, they didn’t.” m Disclosure: Tim Ashe is the domestic partner of Seven Days publisher and coeditor Paula Routly.

5G: DEADLY FOR VERMONTERS We, the People of Vermont herein affirm our Power of Authority and successful commitment to uphold and honor, as unalienable, our rights to life, and to protect Nature; thus, we remind parties named herein that all governmental authority arises solely from our consent. The FCC, Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, Boeing, Space X, Consolidated Communications and all government officials party to the roll out of 5G spectrum and higher iterations have acted with demonstrably criminal reckless disregard for life. The following are statements of fact: • FCC has no personnel with a biomedical background. • The FCC has done no safety testing for 5G spectrum radiation wireless technology, nor have any other governmental agencies. • Wireless industry corporations have no studies of biomedical effects of 5G. • No insurance companies will insure wireless technology providers. • No secondary insurance providers will insure insurance companies who cover wireless providers. • 5G imposes search of Vermonters’ most private aspects of life. • 5G Spectrum radiation specifically, wireless technology generally, is demonstrably carcinogenic. • 5G Specifically, wireless technology generally, is shown to alter and harm the DNA of humans, more harmful to children than adults, is responsible for impotence, lower sperm counts and damaging reproductive DNA, and is proven to penetrate the blood brain barrier. • 5G Specifically, wireless technology generally, can cause terminal cancer in some people; brain cancers such as those that killed Ted Kennedy, John McCain, and Joe Biden’s son Beau. • At least 8 areas of harmful impact by wireless radiation have been identified in evidence based studies. • 5G Spectrum radiation would decimate, or totally eradicate pollinators within a short period of time, along with other small species. Vermont’s agricultural community cannot afford further eradication of pollinators. Martin L. Pall, PhD & Professor Emeritus of Biochemistry and Basic Medical Sciences at Washington State University: “Putting tens of millions of 5G antennae without a single biological test of safety has got to be about the stupidest idea anyone has had in the history of the world.” 5G spectrum radiation is vastly more dangerous than existing wireless technology. Fiber optics to premises, however, is biologically safe. Verizon and AT&T have between them 75 million dollars in grants for Vermont (funded by our Federal taxes) to extend fiber optic cable to every last mile, providing, as Verizon’s website states: “a 100 % fiber optic network that allows you to enjoy the internet speed you crave, the TV channels you love and a home phone that’s reliable.” Fiber optics to premises is biologically safe for life.

PUBLIC NOTICE It is our lawful authority to intercede where our right to life is imperiled. Until such time as Vermonters’ safety is guaranteed, the FCC, government officials and wireless corporate entities are hereby directed to announce an immediate moratorium on the 5G spectrum rollout and any further wireless iterations.

Parties herein may admit to all statements and claims in the contract by simply remaining silent. Failure to respond to this public legal notice establishes legal agreement to statements of fact herein, and establishes a forfeiture of any right or claim of wrongdoing against Vermonters who may disable or remove wireless equipment on any date after June 1, 2019.

Burlington Screens Arrestees for Substance Use Disorders B Y K ATI E JI CK LI N G

SEVEN DAYS APRIL 17-24, 2019

GLENN RUSSELL

urlington police release many of the people they arrest with just a citation to appear in court. But the booking process changed April 2. As part of a new program, city social workers are asking people charged with crimes about their drug use in an effort to get those who are addicted into treatment. Officials believe the initiative will help combat the opioid epidemic by offering treatment to more people, ultimately saving lives. “If we prevent one person from dying, it’ll be worth it,” said Jackie Corbally, the Burlington Police Department’s opioid policy manager. Generally, there’s at least a three-week lapse between an arrest and a first court date, according to Chittenden County State’s Attorney Sarah George. If someone is released without treatment during that period, he or she might commit more crimes to feed their addiction, or even die of an overdose. Three weeks is “a lot of time for people who are really struggling,” George said. The initiative is the latest implemented by a city that’s gotten creative in battling the opioid epidemic, with some success. In February, officials announced that overdose deaths in Chittenden County had plummeted by 50 percent, from 35 in 2017 to 17 last year, even as the number of statewide fatalities rose slightly. Mayor Miro Weinberger, who unveiled the screening program during his State of the City address on April 1, said there is more work to do. He called the newest undertaking a “doubling down on our efforts to expand access to life-saving addiction medicines.” At least initially, the department won’t be able to screen every person who comes through booking. The screeners, Corbally and community affairs liaison Lacey-Ann Smith, work 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays. Both women are trained as social workers; neither is a police officer. The city applied for, but was denied, a $200,000 grant that would have helped hire more social workers. The department hopes to eventually screen everybody who is arrested. Last year, that would have meant 1,504 people. “I think we have enough of a pilot started now that we’re going to have an indication if this is something worth investing further into,” Weinberger said. He continued, “I think you’ll see other

law enforcement departments in the region likely to expand [on the pilot], as well.” The screeners ask four questions: “Have you ever felt you should cut down on your drinking or drug use? Have people annoyed you by criticizing your drinking or drug use? Have you ever felt bad or guilty about your drinking or drug use? Have you ever had a drink or used drugs first thing in the morning to steady your nerves or to get rid of a hangover?” Primary care doctors ask the same questions to identify patients with alcoholism or substance use disorder. Two or more “yes” responses merit a referral to a treatment program. Those who accept it can catch a ride with the Howard Center’s Street Outreach Team to Safe Recovery, a drop-in drug treatment facility, or to the emergency room at the University of Vermont Medical Center. Both will offer a full evaluation by a doctor and, if necessary, provide a short-term prescription for treatment drugs.

more questions. Over an 11-day period that began in late February, 55 of 1,284 patients, or about 4.3 percent, showed signs of or had a history of opioid use disorder. Burlington Police Chief Brandon del Pozo said he expected the percentage of people who abuse opioids that his department processes would be even higher. The screenings, the chief said, will hopefully help a n s we r t wo ke y questions: “What populations are we missing, and how can we connect with them?” Local law enforcement has tried other ways to approach the epidemic in a more clinical way. Last summer, Burlington police stopped arresting people for possession of buprenorphine, which is prescribed to treat opioid addiction, and George’s office no longer prosecutes the crime. The Vermont legislature is currently considering a bill, H.162, that would decriminalize possession of the drug for those without a prescription. “Bupe” is more accessible than ever: Last October, Safe Recovery began offering a short-term buprenorphine script to anyone who wants it. Grace Keller, who runs the program, said she’s hired three doctors who can prescribe medication. She hopes to bring on one more, partly in anticipation of more clients from the police department’s screening program. An arrest can be a “captive moment” when people decide they want help, she said: “If they’re ready, we want to make sure we’re ready.” With high-potency and potentially deadly fentanyl pervading the drug market, she said, “We all feel such a sense of urgency.” The program at the emergency room at the UVM Medical Center also offers buprenorphine to the patients who want to start treatment for addiction. Daniel Wolfson, an ER doctor who helped launch the program in February, is compiling data that he believes will show that buprenorphine on demand leads to long-term recovery — and that other emergency departments should replicate the model. “We’re trying to prove that it keeps people from dying,” he said. Not every program has panned out. Last year, the police department launched a “safe response team” to visit people

who overdosed to offer help. But often, Corbally and her colleagues couldn’t find the person. “It was cumbersome,” Corbally said. The program ended after about five months. The screening concept cropped up last December, when a defense attorney mentioned during a community meeting that she sometimes preferred her client go to jail because of the better opioid treatment services there, according to Weinberger. A group of law enforcement officials and city leaders subsequently met at City Hall to discuss options. George, the Chittenden County prosecutor, told the others that the best way to get people into treatment as soon as possible “is to connect them with any potential services at the time of the arrest.” Judges often encourage or compel people to take advantage of treatment services such as diversion or rapid intervention community court. And even behind bars, offenders have access to medication-assisted treatment; last year, the Vermont legislature removed many restrictions for inmates receiving the therapy. But the screening at arrest could ultimately reduce recidivism and cut the number of cases on the docket, George said. While someone charged won’t be punished for declining treatment, the prosecutor said, a judge could look favorably on those who are getting help. The screenings “could minimize a lot of court resources,” she said. The program is the first of its kind in the country, according to Rick Rawson, a professor of psychiatry at UVM’s Vermont Center on Behavior and Health. He led an evaluation of Vermont’s trailblazing hub-and-spoke system for the state’s Department of Health and published the results in the Journal of Substance Abuse Treatment earlier this year. Rawson called the screening concept “remarkably progressive” for a police department — and potentially transformative for those in trouble with the law. “Every time you add a new entry point, or a new opportunity for people to access treatment … it’s seen as a positive thing,” he said. m

This Old Zoning Dispute: Duplex to Be Built After Years-Long Battle B Y MO LLY WA LSH

SEVEN DAYS APRIL 17-24, 2019

PHOTOS: LUKE AWTRY

Burlington developer has won approval to build a three-story duplex after an epic battle with the city that spanned 10 years. The Burlington Development Review Board gave Anne Rothwell permission in February to construct the building at 189-191 South Champlain Street. Back in 2013, a zoning dispute over the site became highly publicized when the city alleged Rothwell committed “demolition by neglect” — failing to maintain a home and allowing deterioration to advance until destroying it became necessary. The circa-1884 singlefamily house had stood in the Battery Street Historic District. Rothwell disagreed with the finding at the time. But two years ago, in an effort to resolve the matter, she accepted a settlement and paid the city $34,253 in fines. The developer recently spoke to Seven Days at the vacant lot, which sits between Maple and King streets. A dirty snow bank melted into last year’s weeds as people strolled briskly past. Rothwell said she wanted to start construction on the site this year or next. “Decrepit” was the operative word for the property when Rothwell bought it for $160,000 in 2008. The sagging one-and-ahalf-story home had imitation brick siding and no tenants. “I thought, Oh wow, this is a renovation with a lot of potential,” Rothwell said. “I thought, Walking distance to a grocery store and the lake and downtown? and What could be better? The thought was to renovate and make it into something cool. But it was a mess.” She planned to sit on the house, ponder the renovation and obtain financing, she said. But neighbors weren’t happy that it was vacant. Nine months after she closed on the home, in November 2009, the city received a complaint that transients had gotten into the house and left “feces, urine and various used personal products.” A year later, an interior fire, possibly started by squatters, gutted the place. Rothwell said she had attempted to secure the vacant home, as the law requires, but “it was Night of the Living Dead. People just kept getting in there.” After the fire, Rothwell concluded that the building was beyond saving. She proposed to demolish the structure, reseed the lawn and leave the lot vacant. Rothwell said she wanted to again take time to consider her options.

IT’S A HUGE RELIEF. A N N E R O T H WEL L

The review board denied the demolition application in August 2010, contending, among other things, that the structure still had historic value. Rothwell responded with a proposal to demolish it and build a multistory duplex with parking below it, but withdrew her application in November 2012. A month later, the city ordered the building demolished, because it was dangerous. In February 2013, Burlington cited Rothwell for demolition by neglect. “It’s not a real common complaint or a problem, but it certainly happens once or twice a year,” said Bill Ward, the city’s director of code enforcement. Such orders usually involve historic barns or garages — not houses, he added. Under a law that protects affordable housing stock, teardowns in Burlington must generally be offset by new housing or by a contribution to an affordable housing fund. Rothwell’s fines included payment to such a fund. For her part, Rothwell said she was trying to do the right thing all along with a dilapidated property entangled in a nightmarish web of contradictory codes. Still, Rothwell said, the city planning and

zoning department has been good to work with during the last two years, and she was “elated” that the project was finally moving forward. Not everyone is happy about the plans. Eric Johnson, who lives on the top floor of a seven-unit apartment building that he owns at 183 South Champlain Street, contends that Rothwell’s duplex will cast a permanent shadow on the pocket park between her property and his. Based on the approved design, the building will look like a “migrant detention center” and form “a tall, dark charcoal-gray wall,” Johnson said, adding: “Who’s going to want to go into that park?” The proposed duplex would be 35 feet tall — the same height, Johnson acknowledged, as his own building. But he questioned the scale for a two-unit structure. “Mine’s a seven-unit,” he said. Rothwell defended the long, narrow design by Burlington architect Israel Smith. It will bring a handsome, updated building to the block, complete with a rooftop terrace that holds garden sheds, she said. Rothwell plans to live in one unit and possibly rent or sell the other, and she noted that at least

four people have already expressed interest in a purchase. The Battery Street Historic District, a grid of streets just south of downtown, encompasses more than 120 buildings constructed during Burlington’s early commercial and industrial era. The district includes many modest houses with slate roofs and two-over-two sash windows, where workers returned on foot after their shifts at nearby lumber yards, biscuit factories, bobbin mills and glassworks. Johnson’s federal-style building served as the Gray’s Carriage Works factory in the 1830s. Over the years the neighborhood prospered and declined. These days the area is on an upswing in housing-hungry Burlington. Just across the street from Rothwell’s lot, Redstone developer Erik Hoekstra recently renovated a former brick schoolhouse at 194 South Champlain Street into three deluxe one-bedroom apartments. He sold the building for $820,000 in March and an adjacent single-family home at 202 South Champlain Street for $275,000 last year. He bought both properties for a total of $450,000 in 2015 — but says the flip was not as lucrative as it sounds due to substantial renovation costs.

Rothwell knows the neighborhood, and Burlington, well. She grew up on South Willard Street and sold jewelry from a cart on Church Street as an undergrad at the University of Vermont. In 1992, she launched Club Metronome above Nectar’s on Main Street. She sold her stake in 1999 and, with business partner Louis Natale, started her career as a real estate developer. The two built an eight-unit condo complex in the old Hood milk plant on South Winooski Avenue in 2005 and added four apartments there in 2015. Rothwell has also redeveloped three historic buildings in Winooski and owns or manages numerous apartment units in both Burlington and the Onion City. She’s particularly interested in fixing up old buildings, so the “demolition by neglect” finding on her South Champlain Street property stings, Rothwell said.

“I love historic buildings, but in my view, there’s a difference between a building that is historically significant and a building that is just old,” Hoekstra said. Some say the changes in the historic hood have paved the way for gentrification. Hoekstra disagrees and observed that between the Burlington Housing Authority and Champlain Housing Trust, many units have been preserved for affordable housing. “It’s a mixed blessing,” Johnson said about the recent real estate trends. Even though he thinks Rothwell’s duplex will “be an eyesore,” he predicts it will boost the value of his property and others on the street. “I figure I can’t really lose,” he said. Johnson bought his building for $216,000 in the mid-1980s. The neighborhood was “much tougher,” with motor-

Burlington zoning regulations require additional scrutiny of projects that call for tearing down structures that may have historically significant features. Some teardowns are denied, but others are greenlighted, particularly if they allow for more units. Several older structures came down to make way for Redstone’s 30-unit apartment building at Pine Street and Flynn Avenue in the South End, and for the Vaults, the Unsworth Properties’ office, apartment and artist studio building now being leased on Howard Street. The Bove family wants to tear down two rental houses on George Street and the former Bove’s Café on Pearl Street to make way for a 93-room hotel and a 20-unit senior apartment building. Hoekstra initially wanted to tear down the small green house at 202 South Champlain but dropped the idea.

cycles roaring at night and a rowdy bar around the corner called the Alley Cat where patrons could “literally order drugs,” Johnson said. The street has improved, and young families use the playground equipment in the pocket park, he said. As for the building that once housed the Alley Cat? It will soon serve up squash blossom tempura. Lion Turtle Tea is expected to open at 41 King Street this summer. Still, Johnson was flabbergasted to learn the price that Hoekstra got for his red brick building. “God only knows what mine’s worth,” he said. Johnson went on to say that he “can always cash out” but wondered about the cost of moving in. “The idea that our neighborhood is affordable? Good luck with that,” he said. “Not anymore.” m

Man’s Death Following Fight With Burlington Cop Ruled Homicide

homicide determination does not address whether Campbell’s conduct was justified, even if it contributed to Kilburn’s death. Burlington police requested the independent state police review of the case, according to del Pozo.

The March death of a 54-year-old man who’d been in a fistfight with a Burlington cop was a homicide, officials said last week. Vermont State Police are still investigating the encounter between Douglas Kilburn and Burlington Police Officer Cory Campbell, but a death certificate released April 10 lists “skull fractures due to blunt impact” as a contributor to Kilburn’s death. Details about the March 11 altercation are limited to what various police groups have asserted in press releases and a description Burlington Police Chief Brandon del Pozo gave at a press conference.

Sanders Releases 10 Years of Income Tax Returns

SEVEN DAYS APRIL 17-24, 2019

Railing against income inequality has made Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) a wealthy man. Sanders and his wife, Jane O’Meara Sanders, released 10 years of federal income tax returns Monday showing that their financial fortunes have soared along with the senator’s political aspirations. The returns show that the couple, who file jointly, earned nearly $2.8 million in the three years since Sanders’ first presidential campaign catapulted him to national political prominence. After years of earning less than $300,000, Sanders’ income shot up to $1,073,333 in 2016, mostly from the sale of his best-selling book Our Revolution. The book was released in November 2016, after his rival for the Democratic nomination, Hillary Clinton, lost the presidential election to Donald Trump. The following year, Sanders earned slightly more, $1,131,925, again largely on royalties from the book’s publisher, Macmillan. The income from royalties dropped off sharply last year, however, falling from $855,000 to $391,000. That figure could very well bounce back given that Sanders’ follow-up book, Where We Go From Here, was released by Macmillan in November. Other 2018 income included wages from his job as senator and $51,000 in Social Security earnings, according to his filing.

In a statement released by his campaign, Sanders noted that while the returns show his family is fortunate, he also grew up with a “stress of income insecurity” that informs his political views. “I consider paying more in taxes as my income rose to be both an obligation and an investment in our country,” Sanders said. “I will continue to fight to make our tax system more progressive so that our country has the resources to guarantee the American Dream to all people.” The campaign noted that Sanders paid a 26 percent effective tax rate last year, but in 2016 and 2017, when he earned more than $1 million, he paid rates of 35 and 30 percent, respectively.

According to state police, Kilburn assaulted Campbell in the parking lot outside of the University of Vermont Medical Center “before the officer was able to gain control of the suspect.” Kilburn was treated at UVM Medical Center for injuries and released on March 12. He was found dead at his New North End apartment two days later. While the death was classified as a homicide, Vermont Chief Medical Examiner Steven Shapiro was unable to determine how, precisely, Kilburn died. He instead listed multiple “contributing causes” including cardiac disease, diabetes, obesity and the skull fractures. Del Pozo was quick to downplay the medical examiner’s finding, writing in a press release that the office “concluded that it cannot determine what caused Mr. Kilburn’s death.” The Vermont Department of Health disputed that characterization, saying the medical examiner did determine that his death was caused by a combination of factors. Meanwhile, the Burlington police union said the medical examiner should not have classified Kilburn’s death as a homicide. “It doesn’t read to me that he was able to definitively determine the cause of death,” Burlington Police Officers’ Association president Dan Gilligan told Seven Days. “He just listed a bunch of stuff.” Gilligan and del Pozo emphasized that the

letter protesting a lecture scheduled for Wednesday by conservative Polish politician, philosopher and writer Ryszard Legutko. Legutko’s writings suggest that contemporary liberalism shares a trait with the communist leadership under which he grew up: a tendency to stifle free speech. It’s been two years since angry protesters shut down a lecture on campus by ultraconservative author Charles Murray. A Middlebury professor, Allison Stanger, was injured by protesters as she helped Murray flee to a waiting car. This week’s dustup has similar themes. An online protest letter brands Legutko a racist and a homophobe and asks the Middlebury Political Science Department and Rohatyn Center for Global Affairs not to sponsor the talk, set for 4:30 p.m. at the McCardell Bicentennial Hall. Legutko has criticized multiculturalism, portrayed gay marriage as a destructive experiment, and characterized gay pride as “anti-Christian and shocking,” according to the letter. Giving him a platform to speak in a series known as the Alexander Hamilton Forum does not meet the forum’s stated goals to foster thoughtful engagement, the letter states. “There is nothing thoughtful about giving even more space to homophobes, racists and misogynists than they already occupy in the American political sphere,” it says. Backers of the speech disagreed. In a letter to students posted online Monday, Keegan Callanan, an assistant professor of political science and director of the Alexander Hamilton Forum, defended the decision to bring Legutko to campus. After the Murray incident, Callanan joined Stanger on a panel at Princeton University. Callanan criticized the “intellectual homogeneity”at Middlebury, according to the Middlebury Campus, the college newspaper. This week he urged students who are critical of Legutko’s views, such as on gay rights, to debate him at the event. He emphasized Legutko’s past as a young man who “defied the dictates of the Soviet-backed tyranny in Poland when he served as editor of an illegal scholarly journal, Arka. He risked much for liberty and has a unique perspective on what it is like living under a tyrannical regime.”

South Burlington Student Returns to Poetry Out Loud National Finals

he artistry of poetry may be subjective, but the dominance of VERA ESCAJA-HEISS in reciting it competitively is not. For the second year in a row, the 17-year-old senior from South Burlington High School has claimed top honors in Vermont’s Poetry Out Loud state championship. Next week, she’ll advance to the national championship, being held on April 30 and May 1 at George Washington University in Washington, D.C. At last year’s national event, Escaja-Heiss also reached the finals, where she was ranked among the top nine poetry competitors in the country. In mid-March, Escaja-Heiss won the state championship, held at the VERMONT PBS studio in Colchester. Two of the three poems she recited — “Harina de Castilla,” by Sandra M. Castillo and “El Olvido,” by Judith Ortiz Cofer — played into her linguistic and cultural strengths. The first-generation American, daughter of a German father and Spanish mother, speaks three languages. As she explained in an interview, the pieces she chose to recite “show my own story through someone else’s poetry.” Both works are written partially in Spanish and speak about a connection to Spanish culture and maintaining one’s cultural roots.

AND HELD US, ALMOST BREATHLESS. MAJOR JACKSON

The nationwide competition, created by the National Endowment for the Arts and the Poetry Foundation and administered locally by the VERMONT ARTS COUNCIL, begins at the high school level. Students are asked to recite three poems from memory from a designated list of 2,000. One must be a pre-20th-century poem, one must be shorter than 15 lines, and the third is the reciter’s choice. Judges evaluate the recitations based on accuracy, articulation, dramatic interpretation and performance. “I keep those things in mind,” EscajaHeiss explained, “but overall I really just like to do what feels right and just present my true self.” 22

SEVEN DAYS APRIL 17-24, 2019

Escaja-Heiss started writing her own poetry at age 7 but didn’t perform it competitively until her sophomore year in high school. That said, she might have had a leg up on her competitors: Her mother, TINA ESCAJA, is a University of Vermont professor whose areas of expertise include 20th- and 21st-century Spanish and Latin American poetry. Raised by a multilingual poet, Escaja-Heiss grew up attending poetry readings. Such exposure clearly left an impression. UVM professor and award-winning poet MAJOR JACKSON, who emceed the recent Vermont Poetry Out Loud championship, noted that “the judges had their work cut out for them” when choosing a winner. Nevertheless, he noted that Escaja-Heiss’ performances stood out in terms of maturity and artistry. “At times, I forgot I was hosting but sitting in a room, listening to great testimonials of the human journey,” Jackson wrote in an email. “One experiences a poem differently when read out loud, as opposed to reading in a book or magazine. I enjoyed how she gathered us around the poem’s words and held us, almost breathless.” Escaja-Heiss received a $200 prize, as well as an all-expenses-paid trip to Washington, D.C., for herself and a chaperone. She also earned her high school a $500 stipend for the purchase of poetry books. In D.C., Escaja-Heiss will compete with 52 other high school students — the champions from 49 other states plus the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands — who will face off for $50,000 in scholarships and school stipends. One national champion will receive a $20,000 college scholarship. What’s her secret to doing well in competition? Being in the moment, Escaja-Heiss said. Indeed, in a video of her winning performance, she can be seen closing her eyes as she recites the poems. “Instead of being onstage and being aware that I’m presenting a poem and seeing what works and what doesn’t … I am capable of forgetting about everything around me and really immersing myself in the words,” she said. “It’s a feeling I’m presenting, rather than just a bunch of words.” One might assume that her prior experience competing on the national level would be an asset, but Escaja-Heiss

WORDS confessed that it’s not: “I wish I could say it makes me more confident, but actually it makes me more nervous.” She’s hoping her choice of poems with multicultural themes will help her stand out at the national level, especially in the current political climate. “Putting a Hispanic voice forward … can have a bigger impact right now because of

“VERY FUN AND Cartoon collaboration of Harry Bliss and Steve Martin

“Isn’t my nephew great?

urlington-based cartoonist HARRY BLISS has been on a roll for so long, it’s a wonder he isn’t shaped like a log. He’s illustrated more than 20 children’s picture books and is finishing another, with author Joanna Cotler, titled Sorry, Not Sorry. His “diary” series with author Doreen Cronin — Diary of a Worm, Diary of a Spider and Diary of a Fly — provided the basis for an adorable animation series called “Bug Diaries,” which launched April 12 on Amazon Prime. And, in addition to syndicating his single-panel cartoon “Bliss” (which appears in Seven Days), he continues to sell a couple of cartoons per month to the New Yorker, Bliss says. He’s also created 21 cover illustrations for the magazine to date. His latest “roll”? Collaborating with Steve Martin. Yes, the comedian, actor, author and musician — that Steve Martin.

“I was talking with my [New Yorker] editor, Françoise Mouly, and she said she’d just had dinner with Steve Martin and he had some cartoon ideas,” explains Bliss, 55. Turns out, “He’s a fan of my work. I was flipping out — I’m a huge fan of his. “I didn’t think it would go anywhere,” Bliss admits. But the next thing he knew, Mouly sent an email introducing him and Martin, and a partnership was born. For a little more than a month, Martin has been sending Bliss daily gags — often three to five of them — that Bliss draws and sends back. (Apparently drawing is one of the few things Martin doesn’t do.) Bliss knew the two were on the same wavelength, joke-wise, when Martin sent him some ideas that he had actually already done, verbatim. GAG REFLEXES

Vermont is known far and wide for its exceptional beer. The state boasts more craft breweries per capita than any other, and its brews are routinely rated among the best and most sought after in the world. But last week, two local breweries nabbed honors for great taste of a different sort: their can designs. A readers’ poll conducted by USA Today named the Alchemist’s Heady Topper the best beer label in the country. Magic Hat Brewing’s Local Rocker landed eighth on that list, chosen by readers from 20 nominees selected by a panel of three beer-expert judges. “Whether who wins has to do with how much people like the beer versus how much people like the design, I don’t know,” says JAMES KOCHALKA, who drew the Magic Hat design. “But it’s always nice when someone notices your work in a positive way.” Kochalka is a Burlington-based comic artist who penned the daily strip “American Elf” for 14 years and was Vermont’s first cartoonist laureate. He’s also a nationally renowned rock musician, and hence an ideal designer for Magic Hat’s Belgian-style Local Rocker ale. “They had their beer, and they had a name, and then they were like, ‘Who would be best to draw this thing?’” recalls Kochalka. “They decided me, because I’m an artist and I am a local rocker.” “He has lived rock and roll for so long, and it shows in everything he does,” says Magic Hat creative director and fellow rocker RYAN OBER of Kochalka. “It was really fun to utilize some of his most iconic art, live rocking characters, on a beer package.” Kochalka based the design on a poster featuring his “American Elf” character that he drew for a rock show celebrating his 50th 24

That’s a wink to another Kochalka comic creation, “The Glorkian Warrior.” “It’s kind of a mashup of the two characters,” explains Kochalka. “It’s like a cartoon stand-in for me, I guess.” Dan Blakeslee admits that the hirsute caricature on the silver-andblack Heady Topper cans is also something of a selfportrait. “I will confess: That was the year I grew a beard for the first time,” says Blakeslee. The Rhode Island-based artist created the design for double IPA Heady Topper: a man whose head explodes with hops as he drinks a beer. Blakeslee says he never intended the figure to resemble himself, but he was using a selfie as a reference for the old-timey bearded character that Alchemist cofounder JOHN KIMMICH had in mind. “After a while, I was like, Oh, that’s weird. He kinda looks like me,” Blakeslee says. Blakeslee also did the label for the Alchemist’s Focal Banger and artwork for several other regional breweries. Like Kochalka, he’s a musician and songwriter, and he plays in Burlington often. One day at Muddy Waters, Blakeslee recalls, he was drawing a show poster when he felt someone looking over his shoulder. That’s how he met Kimmich, who asked him to do some art for his brewery. Blakeslee says the label concept was all Kimmich. “I originally went way overboard,” he says of the exploding man. “Like, his skull was just ripping apart.” Rather than skull fragments, Kimmich suggested hops. “Which I thought was just brilliant,” says Blakeslee. “And also a lot more appetizing.”

ART

ow many times can you say “FLYNNDOG”? Now, apparently, three. Earlier this month, MARGARET COLEMAN , executive director of the equally furry and tonguetrippingly named nonprofit Art Shape Mammoth, leased a 1,300-square-foot studio at 208 Flynn Avenue in Burlington, adding the newly minted FLYNNDOG STATION to the mini-empire of creative spaces in the South End complex. For almost 20 years, 208 Flynn Avenue has been the home of Flynndog, a hallway gallery space that breathed new life into what had been most recently a paper roll warehouse. Last October, Coleman, who became the curator of Flynndog in 2017, took over a vacant office adjacent to the gallery and created FLYNNDOG PROJECT SPACE as an incubator for emerging artists. FLYNNDOG STATION, the latest addition to the clan, features three semiprivate studios — an alcove with windows that overlook the common space and two offices enclosed by partial walls — as well as an open gallery for gatherings, rehearsals and public events. While the studios aren’t meant solely for musicians, there is a designated storage area for instruments and sound equipment. With its white walls, exposed ducts and orange columns, the place practically screams “art space”; the previous tenant was a commercial photographer. The Station isn’t physically connected to the other two Flynndog spaces — it’s located in the building next door, through the first entrance on the left if you’re in the parking lot, then down a flight of stairs — but Coleman hopes to unify all three venues through art openings and

coordinated events. Ultimately, she wants to let the Station’s future tenants determine how the space evolves. “We’re doing this on a tight budget with no major donors, so the hope is that the creative community decides they want to be a part of it and have a say in what it becomes,” said Coleman. So far, the Station has wooed two local artists: blues musician AL MOORE, who’s leasing one of the studios, and longtime folk-rock scenester PEG TASSEY, who plans to use the space for weekly acoustic voice and guitar rehearsals through the end of May.

THE WHOLE ARTISTIC COMMUNITY TOGETHER. C A S S I D Y S A R G EN T

To the extent that it’s possible for nonhuman entities to exhibit birthorder tendencies, the Station has a youngest-child vibe. For one thing, it’s literally underground. For another, the kickoff reception on April 11 featured digital projections reminiscent of earlyaughts Windows Media Player visualizations set to music of a genre that could be vaguely identified as goth. Advancing this general aesthetic was CASSIDY SARGENT, Art Shape Mammoth-slash-Flynndog’s twentysomething event coordinator, who presided over the entrance that evening clad entirely in black. A pair of bronze bird skulls dangled from her earlobes. “I definitely see Flynndog Station as

a space for younger artists, but our goal is to bring the whole artistic community together,” said Sargent. “I would love to see this become an underground music venue, but Margaret wants it to be a multigenerational space. So we have slightly different visions, but that’s not to say that those things can’t work together.” Given the strong interest from the musician and performing artist crowd (not to mention being neighbors), Sargent said that she and Coleman plan to have the room soundproofed in the near future. In the meantime, they’re still looking for residents of any stripe to fill the remaining private-ish studios or rent the common space for rehearsals, workshops, whatever.

Gag Reflexes « P.23 “It’s naïve to think that just one person in the world could have one idea about, say, the Grim Reaper,” he acknowledges, referring to one such shared gag. Before he draws an idea Martin has suggested, Bliss says, “I have to remove the Steve Martin I know, that I grew up with, from my mind. I have to read it as though it’s just an idea floating there.” The celebrity factor could understandably be distracting. To a certain age cohort, Martin, 73, is a beloved icon of American humor, from his “wild and crazy guy” period on “Saturday Night Live” in the 1970s to his roles in films such as The Jerk, All of Me, Roxanne, Father of the Bride, L.A. Story, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels and many others. He’s penned more than a dozen books and performed in numerous comedy specials — including a show with Martin Short called “An Evening You Will Forget for the Rest of Your Life,” now on Netflix. Then there are Martin’s performances with Grammy-winning bluegrass band Steep Canyon Rangers, with whom he plays banjo. Now, Martin can add “cartoonist” to his résumé. So far, the New Yorker has bought three cartoons with the Bliss-Martin byline, Bliss says. But the duo has created “35 or 40” for the syndicate. Sometimes, though, a gag just doesn’t work on paper. “Yesterday I got one [from Martin] with a golfer lining up a shot,” Bliss relates. “Behind him is the ball, and the hole, and there’s a speech balloon that says, ‘Over here’ — like a little voice inside the hole. I drew it and sent it to a couple friends, and

“This would be a great spot for open mic nights, or film screenings, or giant floor installations,” suggested Coleman. “I can imagine, like, a life-size cave sculpture right there that people can walk into. This place just has so much potential.” She glanced around the common area, where a thickening crowd took in the waveform projections on the blank white wall, and added, “I think we should also probably get a couch.” m

Bliss notes that drawing cartoons is not a profitable enterprise — he derives most of his income from illustrating books. And the Bliss-Martin collaboration will add another to his list. After the two discussed the idea of a cartoon compilation, “not a week went by and we had a book deal!” Bliss exclaims. Celadon Books announced Martin’s forthcoming cartoon collection with Bliss on Monday. Doing the book together is “a good way to get paid” for cartooning, says Bliss. Perhaps more importantly, he says, it’s been “incredibly fun” to share this venture with Martin. Thing is, they still haven’t met or even talked on the phone, instead communicating entirely over email. “Sometimes we’ll go back and forth for 45 minutes — that’s a lot of time for Steve Martin to be bullshitting about cartoons,” Bliss says. “We’ll meet someday, but there’s no rush,” he adds. “This relationship is special.” The still-untitled compilation is due out next year. m

A VERMONT CABBIE’S REAR VIEW BY JERNIGAN PONTIAC

Meeting Zane

or a Montréal taxi run, this one was unusual in that the customer, Anastasia (aka Annie) King, had requested a round-trip. Zane, her newly minted boyfriend, would be arriving at Trudeau Airport on a late-night flight. She booked me to drive her up to meet him, then reverse course and drive the two of them back to Burlington. Though it would be tiring, late night was the ideal time for a gig like this. The plane’s 11:45 p.m. ETA would mean sparse traffic, both at the Canada-U.S. border crossing and around Montréal. Plus, it would allow me to service my local daily customers before I got out of Dodge. On the scheduled night, I pulled to a stop in front of Annie’s modest Kennedy Drive living quarters. When she walked out of her condo and approached my taxi, I thought, Wowza. This woman was exceptionally attractive; I’m speaking of the 1 percent demographic of physical beauty. Not that such triviality means anything to me, but still — wowza. “Good to meet you, Jernigan,” she said as, with my OK, she climbed into the shotgun seat. “Good to meet you, too,” I reciprocated as we shook hands. “I must be crazy,” she said, buckling up. “I’ve barely been on two dates with this guy, and now I’ll be spending the weekend with him. But I know he’s a good man, and it doesn’t hurt that he’s gorgeous. Oh, well — nothing ventured, nothing gained, right?” “Absolutely,” I agreed, chuckling. “What’s this dude do for work?” “He’s a property developer, mostly in his hometown of Detroit. But he also has some international projects, most

recently an apartment complex, I believe, in Mumbai.” “And you’re a local girl, right? You grew up in Vermont?” “Well, I grew up here, but I’ve been away since my teen years. I just gave up my tech job at Google, and I spent the winter on a boat in the Caribbean before renting the place in South Burlington.” “Were you working on the boat or just vacationing?” “God, no,” she replied with a laugh. “It belonged to a friend of mine. I didn’t have anything to do with operating the

abusive. Unsurprisingly, both marriages ended badly. Here’s the thing: I found myself unable to connect with Annie. As she discussed her failed relationships, I had a hard time grasping her meaning. I don’t know if it was the generational gap or if she was intellectualizing in a way I couldn’t follow. I found myself writing her off, consigning her to a box. This is a typical rich girl, I thought, probably born with the proverbial silver spoon in her mouth. “So, do you have any siblings?” I asked, changing the subject.

thing. I just loved being out on the water, drifting from island to island. But I’m ready now to get back to work. At this point, I think I want to get a job at a nonprofit, right here in Vermont. I’ve done well in the tech world — at Google, I was director of corporate sales — but I’m over it.” Oh, my goodness, I thought. This is one of those tech-wealthy millennials I’ve been hearing about! I had always wanted to meet one in person, and here she was. On the highway heading north, we continued chatting. Annie told me about her two marriages: the first, when she was quite young, to a Sephardic Jewish man whose mother ostentatiously sobbed during the wedding ceremony because her son was marrying a non-Jew; and the second to her teenage sweetheart who turned out to be controlling, if not

“I have a twin sister. We’re fraternal, not identical, though we could just as well be identical, we look so much alike.” “And you both grew up in Vermont?” “Yes, but not together. My mother was 15 when she had us, and we were split up when we went into foster care. I lived in a series of homes, mostly in Franklin County.” My head did a spin like Michael Keaton’s character, Beetlejuice, in that ’80s comedy. Silver spoon? How wrong was I? I felt like a judgmental idiot, probably because I was being a judgmental idiot. “Annie, I have mad respect for you,” I said, my heart opening with humility. “With a rough upbringing like that, you could easily have fallen into a marginal existence, but instead it sounds like you’ve done great for yourself. You must have a really strong spirit.”

“I guess,” she said, smiling at me. “Thanks.” We talked the rest of the way to the airport about, well, everything. Since dropping my unfounded preconceptions, relating to her became natural and easy. It turned out that, among other proclivities, she was an aspiring writer and had been receiving attention and input from an iconic editor at the New Yorker magazine. She read me one of her short stories she had stored on her phone, and I thought it was excellent, if not precisely my cup of tea. At Trudeau Airport, we checked the board in the terminal, which indicated that Zane’s flight had touched down 15 minutes earlier. She took up a position at the international arrivals gate. I cautioned her that it takes some time to clear customs, so he could be 10 minutes or an hour. “Zane’s a type-A personality like me,” she said, chuckling. “Knowing him, he’ll be first through. She was wrong: He was second through. Annie stood there beaming as Zane — tall, handsome and confident-looking — strode toward her. As they embraced with some laughter and a bit of charming awkwardness, this thought came to mind: How lucky was this man to be met at the gate by this strong-willed, raven-haired beauty? m All these stories are true, though names and locations may be altered to protect privacy.

Bernin’ Rubber Five states, four days, 1,200 miles: Sanders chases Rust Belt votes ST ORY & PHOTOS B Y PAU L HEIN TZ

SEVEN DAYS APRIL 17-24, 2019

MARC NADEL

y the time he reached the suburbs of Detroit on Saturday, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) had worked himself into a lather of indignation. He was nearly halfway through a 1,200-mile Rust Belt road trip designed to demonstrate his electability in the 2020 presidential election. But the man simply couldn’t let go of 2016. Upon taking the stage outside Macomb Community College, Sanders recalled the moment three years earlier when he overcame a 20-point polling deficit to defeat Hillary Clinton in Michigan’s Democratic primary. “You know, when we campaigned here a few days before the elections, the pundits determined that there was a 1 percent chance that we could win,” Sanders said, sarcasm creeping into his voice. “Mmmm … Well, we won!” Like President Donald Trump boasting to foreign dignitaries about his Electoral College victory, Sanders can hardly make it through a public appearance without mentioning the 22 states, 13 million votes and 1,700 delegates he won in the 2016 presidential primary. He boasts in his stump speech that he picked up more support from young people than Trump and Clinton combined. And he still complains about the unelected superdelegates who, in his view, tipped the primary toward Clinton. Sanders told his audience of college students and suburbanites that he was “putting a lot of miles on the car” that weekend driving through Wisconsin, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio and Pennsylvania. “And I guess you all know why we are doing that,” he said, noting that Trump had defeated Clinton in all five states. “We’re here today to say, that mistake is not going to be repeated in 2020.” As his opponents crisscrossed the early primary and caucus states of New Hampshire and Iowa, Sanders had come to the general-election battleground that decided the 2016 election. His goal was clear: to combat the narrative that he’s

unelectable by demonstrating his appeal to Rust Belt voters. “The pervading issue in the race is who can beat Donald Trump,” explained Sanders campaign manager Faiz Shakir. “And it’s our view on this campaign that … Bernie Sanders is uniquely positioned to beat him.” According to Sanders pollster Ben Tulchin, the candidate’s “hard-edged, progressive, populist economic message” appeals to the white, working-class voters essential to winning the Upper Midwest. “The manufacturing base of these states has collapsed and isn’t coming back anytime soon,” Tulchin said. “So you’ve got a lot of people struggling in these states — and his message really resonates with those kinds of voters.”

Try as he might to look ahead to the general election, Sanders couldn’t help but look back. As his campaign convoy steered east from Lake Michigan toward Lake Erie earlier that day, Sanders chose to publicly reignite an old feud with a top Clinton adviser. In a letter to the Center for American Progress, the senator voiced his “deep concern and disappointment” with the left-leaning think tank for publishing “personal attacks” against him and other Democratic candidates on its affiliated website, ThinkProgress. He specifically targeted CAP president and CEO Neera Tanden, who had been expected to play a major role in a second Clinton administration — and who’s known for tussling on Twitter with Bernie bros.

“[Tanden] repeatedly calls for unity while simultaneously maligning my staff and supporters and belittling progressive ideas,” Sanders wrote. “I worry that the corporate money CAP is receiving is inordinately and inappropriately influencing the role it is playing in the progressive movement.” The Sanders campaign was quick to monetize the dispute. In a Sunday fundraising email to its massive list of supporters, it warned that Sanders was “under attack from the corporate establishment,” which it said was “panicked” about the prospect of him winning the nomination. The campaign’s ask? A $3 contribution. According to Shakir, CAP has been fighting his boss since the 2016 election. “And I think it was Sen. Sanders’ view that

we’ve got to call this out,” he said. “We’ve gotta try to educate folks about the role that they’re playing.” The campaign, no doubt, was eager to elevate a “corporate” bogeyman to fire up the base and bring in the bucks. A lifelong underdog, the 77-year-old Sanders has found himself in the unlikely role of Democratic front-runner, muddling the outsider image his campaign would prefer to project. But the tactic would seem to carry some risk: Aren’t most voters ready to move on from the Clinton-Sanders civil war? Pete Buttigieg seems to think so. As Sanders trained his fire on CAP and Tanden, the 37-year-old mayor of South Bend, Ind., was kicking off his own presidential campaign a few hundred miles away. Calling for a “new generation of leadership,” the candidate of the moment proclaimed, “It’s time to walk away from the politics of the past and toward something totally different.” If voters agree, then maybe Buttigieg or former Texas congressman Beto O’Rourke or Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) or Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) will seize the

Democratic nomination. But Sanders is banking on the notion that what voters really want is clarity and consistency — that they’ll reward his steady advocacy for universal health care, a higher minimum wage and an end to economic inequality. “Those ideas that we talked about four years ago, that seemed so radical at the time?” Sanders told his audience as the sun set over the Macomb campus. “Well, today virtually all of those ideas are now supported by a majority of the American people — and they are the ideas that Democratic candidates, from school board to president, are now supporting. “Now,” he continued, “our job is to finish what we started.”

HINDSIGHT IS 2020

When Sanders kicked off his Rust Belt tour last Friday in Madison, Wis., Maura “Chip” Yost was there to greet him in James Madison Park. The Manitowoc County activist had volunteered for the senator’s first presidential campaign and seen him in the flesh 11 times before. “He might even recognize me by now,” she said, barely containing her excitement. “Who knows!” A damp wind blew over Lake Mendota, stirring up an occasional white cap and sending a chill over the sliver of parkland where Sanders was preparing to deliver a 45-minute sermon in 35-degree weather.

Yost had come prepared. She wore two hats — one featuring the “Bernie 2016” logo — a puffy green jacket, a white parka and, most prominently of all, a red T-shirt emblazoned with an unsmiling Sanders and the words, “Hindsight Maura Yost is 2020.” The meme is a favorite of Sanders supporters who remain convinced that their candidate would have beaten Trump if only he’d won the Democratic nomination — a sentiment that would prove pervasive at each of his Rust Belt rallies. “He has the energy that Hillary was never able to cultivate,” said Marc Daniels, a manufacturer’s representative who traveled to Madison from Springfield, Ill., to hear Sanders speak. “He’s got it.” Some, such as Daniels, said they’d voted for Clinton in the 2016 general election. Others, such as Yost, wouldn’t say. A couple of die-hards admitted that they’d stayed home in November or written in Sanders. Activists aren’t the only ones convinced that Democrats blew their shot. Sanders’ 2016 campaign manager, Jeff Weaver, has written that it was “painfully obvious” that his boss would have won. “Period.” Asked this week if he agreed, Shakir said with a laugh, “You know, hindsight is 2020.” The argument goes that if Clinton had picked up a combined 80,000 more votes in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania,

she would have claimed an Electoral College victory — not just the popular vote. Because Sanders won the Wisconsin, Michigan and Indiana primaries, his partisans say, he could’ve competed in the Rust Belt in the general election. Never mind that Clinton handily defeated him in Pennsylvania and Ohio — and nearly held on to Michigan. Nor that anticipating every twist and turn of a modern presidential campaign is a fool’s errand. Just ask former FBI director James Comey. But the question of how Sanders would fare in the Rust Belt is hardly academic. In a memo released on the eve of the trip, Shakir made clear that Sanders would pursue what FiveThirtyEight editor in chief Nate Silver has called the “Northern Path” to an Electoral College majority: holding all the states that Clinton won, and picking up Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania. “The easiest path for Democrats to win back the White House is to win back those three states,” Tulchin said, noting that the party had prevailed there in gubernatorial and Senate races in the 2018 midterms and in presidential races for decades before Trump’s arrival. Sanders isn’t the only candidate eyeing the region. The vast Democratic field includes several native sons and daughters, among them Buttigieg, Rep. Tim Ryan (D-Ohio) and Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) — not to mention former vice president Joe Biden, an expected candidate with long-standing ties to the rusty north of Pennsylvania. Others are more likely to pursue a Sun Belt strategy, which would require flipping Florida and picking up North Carolina, Georgia, Arizona or Texas. Though winning over this growing and increasingly diverse region makes long-term sense for the Democratic Party, Tulchin thinks that, for now, Sanders should keep his eye on the Upper Midwest. “Bernie is popular there and does well there,” the pollster said. “So why not lean into his strength?”

‘AND YOU ARE WITH WHOM?’

Sanders walked the desolate streets of Gary, Ind., on Saturday morning flanked by a trio of municipal leaders. The city had suffered decades of decline as the local U.S. Steel plant shed more than 25,000 jobs — and it showed, in boarded up storefronts and payday loan shops. Gary Police Chief Richard Allen tried to put a positive spin on the city’s fortunes as he escorted Sanders north to a faded convention center. “If you look around, BERNIN’ RUBBER SEVEN DAYS APRIL 17-24, 2019

» P.32 31

Bernin’ Rubber « P.31 you’ll see a lot of buildings that were restored,” Allen said. Ever on message, Sanders asked the chief whether the nation’s trade policies had contributed to Gary’s misfortune. “Trade played a big role,” Allen confirmed. Their awkward, forced conversation was interrupted when, all of a sudden, Sanders snapped, “Guys, watch it! Watch it! Watch it!” He was addressing a phalanx of journalists and campaign photographers walking backwards ahead of the group, trying to capture photos and footage of the senator’s tour. Every now and again, one of them — including, at one point, this reporter — would collide with a tree or trip over a curb, sending a camera lens hurtling earthward. Sanders did not look pleased. Such is the life of a presidential frontrunner, whose every move is recorded and every word parsed. Unlike his first foray into national politics, when he was largely ignored in the early months of the race, Sanders is already a main attraction. CNN sent at least four journalists on his swing through the Rust Belt, while Time dispatched a three-member team. Washington Post and New York Times reporters cycled on and off a chartered tour bus, which trailed the senator’s white SUV. (What debauchery went down on the press bus cannot be disclosed due to a strict off-the-record policy enforced by Team Sanders.) The press attention seems merited. A national survey released this week by Emerson College showed Sanders leading Buttigieg, the closest declared alternative, 29 to 9 percent — and even Biden by 5. In the first quarter of the year, the Vermonter raised $18.2 million, more than any candidate but Trump. Most of the money came from small-dollar donors, who are likely to keep giving and could sustain the campaign for the long haul. On the day Sanders arrived in Madison, his aides announced he’d picked up his millionth donation. The cash has enabled Sanders to hire more than 100 staffers and deploy them not only to the likes of Iowa and New Hampshire but to Super Tuesday states, as well. On the streets of Gary, communications aides and press wranglers tried to keep the stumbling journalists in line — and out of the way of campaign videographers who appeared to be collecting footage for future advertisements. Advance staffers directed traffic and scurried ahead to the Genesis Convention Center, where Sanders’ next event would take place. An 32

ambulance, for some reason, puttered along behind the entourage. Inside the convention center, some three dozen local leaders took their seats around a U-shaped table in the middle of a cavernous, carpeted event room, lit by a gaudy chandelier. The hastily arranged event had been billed as a “community meeting,” but if participants thought they’d be engaging in conversation with the senator, they were mistaken. When Sanders asked for questions from the crowd, municipal employee Rachel Caesar stood to say that she wanted to know what he’d do for “legacy cities” such as Gary. “I’d like to hear that in the context of the Marshall Plan, more specifically the Urban Marshall Plan. I’d also like to hear as it relates to [Rep. Jim] Clyburn’s bill—” “Good,” Sanders interrupted. “—Why is that a bill that you can get behind?” Caesar continued. “Good,” Sanders said, again cutting her off. “Thank you.” Rather than answer her query, Sanders moved on to the next questioner and then the next and the next. “OK,” he said five minutes later, standing up at the table and looming over the local notables. “The advantage of having a number of people make comments and ask questions, you can kind of lump ’em together. You touched on a whole lot of fundamental concerns.” And then the senator launched into his stump speech. Despite the media’s interest in covering the five-state swing, Sanders had remained mostly sequestered from the press. So when he opened up the forum to the reporters in the back of the room, Francesca Chambers of the Daily Mail

‘PATHOLOGICAL’

If Sanders’ Rust Belt tour was a low-grade sub-tweet of Clinton’s 2016 performance, it was also a frontal assault on Trump’s tenure in office. At every stop, the senator described the president as a “pathological liar” — and in most places he threw in “racist,” “sexist,” “homophobe” and “xenophobe,” for good measure. Though Sanders claims his campaign is one of “optimism” and “love,” his stump speech has grown darker than ever. Unlike 2016, when he avoided naming his Democratic rival, he now has an opponent he can directly attack — as he did most harshly at a pair of labor meetings in Michigan and Ohio. “I am here in the Midwest for one major reason,” he told workers Saturday at the UA Local 174 union hall in Coopersville, Mich. “And that is, I’m going to do everything I can to make sure that Donald Trump is not reelected president.” Sanders’ central argument is that the president duped the American people during the 2016 election. “The most profound lie of all was that he said he was gonna stand with the working class of this country,” Sanders said to the assembled plumbers, welders, HVAC technicians and service workers. “That was a major lie and I hope most people know that now.” The president, he continued, had broken his promises to protect their health insurance and entitlement programs — and to crack down on Wall Street and other special interests. The candidate didn’t have to convince Steve Mutschler, a 34-year-old Marine Corps veteran from Ionia County, Mich., who sat near the rear of the hall. “I’m hoping we can take out Trump’s craziness and ridiculousness … and really take back some of the workers’ rights that have been infringed on for quite some time now,” he said. Mutschler added that he’d proudly supported Sanders in the 2016 primary, but he wouldn’t disclose how he’d voted that fall. He expressed confidence that if Democrats had nominated Sanders that year, the senator from Vermont would BERNIN’ RUBBER

And then came the scold. “By the way, this bothers me a little bit,” he said. “Maybe we might want to talk about Gary. Maybe we might want to talk about poverty. Maybe we might want to talk about youth unemployment … This might be a great moment to talk about some of those issues.” Sanders pointed at another reporter. “And you are with whom?” he demanded.

leapt at the opportunity to ask a newsof-the-day question. “Sen. Sanders, you’ve come under scrutiny this week because you have taken on the millionaires and the billionaires, but you mentioned that you are a millionaire yourself now, having sold a popular book,” she said. “Does that conflict with the message that you’re pushing here today?” You could almost hear Sanders salivating at the opportunity to smack down such a question. “I don’t think so. I didn’t know it was a crime to write a good book, which turned out to be a best seller,” he said to laughter and applause, adding that he’d consistently advocated for a progressive tax system. “If I make a lot of money, you make a lot of money; that is what I believe. So I don’t apologize for writing a book that was No. 3 on the New York Times best seller [list], translated into five or six languages.”

Bernin’ Rubber « P.33 have won Michigan — and perhaps the presidency. “I think we just didn’t have the excitement with the younger generation [for] Hillary Clinton,” Mutschler said. The next day, Clinton’s top union supporter during the 2016 election, American Federation of Teachers president Randi Weingarten, introduced Sanders at an AFT forum in Lordstown, Ohio. The town had attained notoriety a month earlier when General Motors idled the local Chevrolet Cruze plant — prompting Trump to lash out on Twitter at the company and the United Auto Workers union. While the president tweeted away, Weingarten said, Sanders had “showed up” and stood with the plant’s workers. “You know Bernie,” she said in the Lordstown High School auditorium. “He has a clear voice about these issues. He has a clarion message about whose side he is on.” When Sanders took the microphone, he lit into GM for taking a government bailout and then outsourcing American jobs. Under a Sanders presidency, he pledged, such companies would be barred from winning federal contracts. “Our job now is to tell them, whether they like it or not, they will be good corporate citizens,” he thundered. Sanders saved his most withering criticism for Trump. “I know how tough you are, snatching babies from the arms of their mothers,” he said, referring to the president’s policy of separating families at the southern border. “Well, let’s see how tough you are taking on Wall Street and corporate America!” During a question-and-answer session in Lordstown, Katie Fallo of nearby Niles told Sanders that the father of her young son had been laid off and might soon have to move. Noting the prevalence of “divisive language and communication” in the country, Fallo asked the senator what she could do “to try to bring people together, to show that we have more in common than not.” As if on cue, a bearded man wearing a red “Make America Great Again” hat rose from his seat and shouted at Sanders, “You can stop saying the word ‘niggardly’!” He was referring, apparently, to a viral video of Sanders using the term in a 1986 speech as mayor of Burlington. The man raised his fist and shouted that Sanders was a socialist as the crowd jeered and security officers dragged him from the room. Once order had been restored, Sanders sought to respond to Fallo. 34

“How do you win elections when you lie? This is how you do it, and this is what demagogues have always done: You try to divide people up,” he said. “Our job, to answer your question, is to do exactly the opposite. It’s to bring people together.” Asked after the forum what she thought of that answer, Fallo called it “phenomenal.” She said she’d supported Sanders for years and had, in the 2016 general election, written him in for president and Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii) for vice president. As for Clinton? “I couldn’t press the button,” Fallo said.

WALKING THE WALK

S o m e 4, 5 0 0 p e o p l e f i l e d i n t o Pittsburgh’s Schenley Plaza Sunday afternoon for the final rally of Sanders’ weekend road trip. Though turnout Pittsburgh

at his events hadn’t matched the stratospheric levels of his 2016 run, it was pretty good for a primary still a year away. Backstage, Shakir reflected on the composition of the crowds: disaffected Democrats, union members, students and other first-time voters. “Those are the types of people who I think Hillary lost in the last election, and they would be there for Bernie,” he said. What united them, according to Shakir, was the sense that the rich and powerful don’t have their interests at heart — that they’re “screwing us, making our lives harder, depriving us of economic freedom and liberty. Bernie Sanders speaks to that with credibility in a way that the rest of the field doesn’t.” Shakir acknowledged that the campaign still has work to do to convince the party that Sanders is the best candidate to take on Trump. “You not only have to talk the talk but walk the walk,” he said. “Travel through the Midwest and show why you think that’s the case.” The following evening Sanders would do just that. In the battered steel town of Bethlehem, Pa., he brought his message to the unlikeliest of venues: a Fox News town hall. “Not everybody thought that I should come on this show,” Sanders told moderators Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum. “Your network does not necessarily have a great deal of respect in my world, but I thought it was important for me to be here and have a serious discussion about serious issues.” It worked. After noting that the audience included Democrats, Republicans, independents and others, Baier tried to pit the crowd against Sanders and his signature policy proposal: Medicare for all. “If you could raise your hand here, a show of hands of how many people get their insurance from work — private insurance — right now,” Baier said. “How many get it from private insurance?” Dozens of audience members raised their hands. “OK,” Baier continued. “Now of those, how many are willing to transition to what the senator says: a government-run system?” Nearly everybody who’d raised a hand the first time did so again. Others whooped and clapped. Sanders was walking the walk, and there were plenty of people ready to walk with him. m

Underground Treasure Cat Buxton and the Vermont Healthy Soils Coalition champion a climate change solution B Y E LIZ A BET H M. SEYLE R

SEVEN DAYS APRIL 17-24, 2019

BEN DEFLORIO

n a meeting room at Randolph’s Bethany Church UCC, a retired farmer and a young soil researcher discussed soil mycelium over salad and turkey cottage pie. Beside them sat a middleaged homeowner and a thirtysomething selectboard member debating the merits of no-till gardening. In total, 43 people had gathered on the evening of March 27 to share dinner and explore a two-part question: How can we address climate change, starting with the soil? It was the fourth event of seven in “The Soil Series: Grassroots for the Climate Emergency,” taking place through May 8. Presented by South Royalton group Building a Local Economy and the Vermont Healthy Soils Coalition, the series aims to educate the public on new discoveries about soil and its link to climate change, and to explain how such discoveries can inform farming and other landmanagement practices. The goal is to build networks of informed citizens and help them take action. “What we’re finding is that people who come to these events want to help, and they feel overwhelmed,” said series organizer and host Cat Buxton. “They don’t know what to do.” Buxton, 46, lives in Sharon and is renowned throughout Vermont as a compost consultant and soil health educator. Her series addresses the role of soil and water cycles in ecosystem function and how to adapt to a changing climate. “In our area,” Buxton said, that raises the question, “How are we going to manage a lot of water, and how are we going to manage not losing all of our topsoil like we did in Tropical Storm Irene?” Soil is key to answering that question, because healthy soil absorbs and stores moisture much better than unhealthy soil. At the first five series events, 17 speakers, including Buxton, explained links between soil health and human health, how to care for soil, and what constitutes healthy soil and its function. They’ve also presented on community resilience efforts and the role of storytelling and language in building collaboration. When working with people who don’t believe in climate change, for example, Buxton and her colleagues seek common ground. “They do believe in flooding, and they believe in drought,” she noted. Nearly 50 adults have attended each series event, on average — more than half

of them under age 30. “This is attracting young people, and that to me is very exciting,” said Buxton. At the March 27 event, Seven Days counted 43 people from 21 Vermont towns in five counties. Randolph’s Black Krim Tavern has catered each event; after dinner and speaker presentations, attendees have gathered in a circle to share reflections and ask questions. “The people who are in the room are our neighbors, and they have skills and expertise and passion, and that’s all we need” to effect change, Buxton said. The next event, on April 24, will focus on how healthy soil works as a carbon sponge and how land-use practices help or harm the soil’s capacity to absorb carbon. On May 8, Buxton and volunteer assistant Lauren Weston of Rochester will offer a distillation of participants’ feedback and inquiries, providing a starting point to “plug people into action to address the climate emergency that we’re in,” Buxton said. She hopes that citizen groups will form to improve backyard gardening practices, educate legislators and work with local municipalities. She’d also like to see people join conservation boards, zoning

committees and community resilience organizations. “Working with Cat is completely inspiring,” wrote environmental engineer Weston, 25, by email. “She fully believes in what she teaches, and she speaks with such passion and conviction that it makes you want to change and join her efforts.” “She doesn’t put herself first in her work,” noted Simon Dennis, chair of the Hartford Selectboard and executive director of the Center for Transformational Practice in White River Junction. “Rather, she champions the work of others, and she builds community.” A speaker at the fourth Soil Series event, Dennis has enthusiastically supported Buxton’s efforts. “She has … deep chops” in gardening, permaculture and composting, he said, as well as exceptional projectcoordination and grant-writing skills. Buxton has earned such accolades through more than 20 years of work in Vermont’s food system, but her interest in the field began at a young age. A native of Sandy Hook, Conn., she grew up on a three-acre wooded lot in “a blue-collar family that ate really bad food,” Buxton

recalled. “In the ’70s, it was all about convenience.” Nevertheless, she said, she always felt a strong connection to nature; at age 13, she stopped eating meat “because I learned where it came from: factory farming.” When she was in her early twenties, Buxton and her husband took a three-year cross-country bike trip. “We rode 9,000 miles and camped the whole way, and in doing that I learned so much about farming and food and people and America,” Buxton said. After the trip, the couple settled in Sharon, and for four years she worked as grocery manager at the Upper Valley Food Co-op in White River Junction. That job and others in the food industry led Buxton to Cedar Circle Farm and Education Center in East Thetford. As its education coordinator, she developed expertise in composting, gardening and teaching, in part through creating an edible schoolyard and compost program at Thetford Elementary School. Now, Buxton works primarily as a consultant to schools, farms, municipalities and organizations and serves on multiple boards. As a Rural Vermont board

member, she helped spearhead Vermont’s GMO labeling law, which passed in 2016 but was soon overridden by a federal law. Buxton is also a board member of the national Soil Carbon Coalition, which teaches farmers across the country how to evaluate and improve soil health. “Looking at root depth and mass, microorganisms, worm castings, and soil aggregate is just as exciting for farmers as it is for sixth graders,” she said. Seeds for the Vermont Healthy Soils Coalition were sown when Buxton attended a three-day retreat focused on soil as a carbon sponge in 2016 in Fairlee. What she learned from Australian soil microbiologist and climate scientist Walter Jehne “completely changed the way that I think about soil health and climate change,” she said.

Expecting to learn about helpful individual gardening practices and plant species, Buxton instead discovered that the more pressing issue was water management and that a whole-systems approach was essential to addressing it. A few months later, she launched the Healthy Soils Coalition with author and educator Didi Pershouse, farmer and radio host Henry Swayze, and Rural Vermont field organizer Graham Unangst-Rufenacht. “One of the things we’re trying to do is build bridges between silos of thought,” Buxton said, by connecting experts in fields such as environmental studies, farming and policy making. She wants to increase understanding of “how to leverage each other’s work” and “collaborate to create ecosystem outcomes for a livable planet.” According to Buxton, 300 people have joined the coalition; as of last week, 139 “experts and nonexperts” were participating in online discussions. The Soil Series garnered 24 sponsors, including Ben & Jerry’s, the Vermont Land Trust, Gardener’s Supply, the Northeast Organic Farming Association of Vermont, and University of Vermont Extension’s Center for Sustainable Agriculture. Buxton’s reputation as a smart, creative and collaborative worker is

partly responsible for the outpouring of support. But advocates for organic and sustainable agriculture have stepped up because the coalition’s work is essential and timely, according to Kate Duesterberg, cofounder and director of transition at Cedar Circle Farm. “Every time you plow, disc, harrow or do anything to the soil, you’re losing carbon,” Duesterberg said. So organic farmers, who have traditionally relied on those methods for weed suppression, “are having to retrain themselves to figure out how to grow with very minimal soil disturbance.” Diverse cover crops are one answer, because they build diversity in soil microorganisms, which in turn helps to control weeds and diseases, she explained. “The first solar panels were plants,” said Buxton, “and they are feeding our soil, feeding the underground zoo through living roots.” Duesterberg values the coalition because it’s helping “as many people as possible understand soil and what it can contribute to mitigating or reversing climate change,” she said. On an individual level, people can help by growing diverse plants in their yards, gardening, composting and supporting farmers who nurture the soil. “Regenerative agriculture and healing the soil will actually reverse climate change and cool the planet,” said Weston. “Stopping the use of fossil fuels won’t do it on its own.” Dennis doesn’t foresee pushback to the soils coalition, per se, but he does anticipate “inertia and people not really paying attention.” He also noted that, even in relatively progressive Hartford, some selectboard members “don’t think it’s the town’s place to step up the global citizenship. But,” he added, “it’s shifting.” Buxton looks to the soil for guidance. “It’s a very dynamic and complex system — the selective intelligence of billions of organisms working together,” she said. “I think we can learn from it.” As a millennial, Weston feels the urgency. “The underlying goal of these groups is to wake people up to the land and to each other,” she said. “Humans are not separate from the Earth … There are ways to address climate change in a just and equitable manner; there is hope, and we need to act quickly.” m

Raising Hope

THEATER

Once, Northern Stage B Y AL EX BR OW N

The cast of Once

ith songs that start as mere glowing embers and then steadily rise in strength to brilliant blazes, the musical Once gives the triumph of hope an unmistakable sound. In the production at Northern Stage, powerful vocals and vigorous instrumentation showcase the glory of live performance. Once, which won the 2012 Tony Award for best musical, is based on a 2007 movie that starred the composers of the songs, Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová. Set in Dublin, the story brings together a busker ready to give up on music and a Czech immigrant who spins him in the opposite direction, helping him find new purpose. Enda Walsh, who wrote the book, keeps it simple and archetypal, naming his protagonists Guy and Girl. When Girl first hears Guy singing of heartache on an empty street, she doesn’t just compliment him, she rescues the guitar he’s abandoning and puts it back in his hands. It’s not a flirtation. If Guy is carrying around a song like that, Girl concludes, he’s still nursing a broken heart. Instead of letting him wallow in despair, she invites him to a music store where she can play the piano with him. Every musical must solve the problem of launching people into song, and Once does it by keeping Guy and Girl in high romantic tension that invariably dissolves into music. The show is usually anchored in a pub, surrounding the couple with folks eager to strum and sing alongside them. Director Carol Dunne forgoes the jolly bar 38

SEVEN DAYS APRIL 17-24, 2019

for a street and gives the supporting musicians stylized motions under atmospheric lighting. It’s as if the force of Guy’s music magically summons accompaniment. Dunne creates a moment of suspense early in the show by placing members of the ensemble throughout the house, unlit or barely so, while Guy and Girl sing the wrenching “Falling Slowly” in the music store. The accompanying musicians evoke the song’s potential by singing and playing from the shadows, as if a story is aching to be told and Guy’s musical promise to be fulfilled.

THE FEELING IS IMPROMPTU, AS IF THE AUDIENCE HAS STUMBLED ONTO

A LITTLE MIRACLE OF MUSICAL EXPRESSION.

Dunne’s staging uses minimal, multipurpose furnishings to sketch a host of locations, including an overcrowded apartment of Czech immigrants, a nightclub, a rocky beach and more. Lighting designer Travis McHale conveys a distinctive sense of mood and place with inventive lighting. In the same way that makeshift furnishings form rooms, percussion boxes and guitars seem to fly into the musicians’ hands. The feeling is impromptu, as if the audience has stumbled onto a little miracle of musical expression.

Scenic designer Alexander Woodward creates a set equally open to despair and dreams. A solid façade of doors, windows and shutters is mortised into an abstract pattern and painted a uniform blue-green. The set isn’t an inhospitable wall of closed doors but hints at the jumble of lives crammed together in the city. Guy and Girl radiate romantic sparks, but the thwarted love that bubbles through the story ultimately takes a back seat to their singing and playing within an ensemble. Northern Stage has collected 11 actors who can sing with gorgeous intensity and play instruments with professional skill. As the performers release the flood of emotion in the songs, the jubilation of live music reaches to the theater’s rafters. The performers make full use of the songs’ dynamic range, with many tunes starting as quiet, introspective musings and slowly ascending to anthemic truths. The music benefits from Northern Stage’s rich choral presentation, superbly sung. Dunne and choreographer Kyle Brand stage numbers such as the heroic “Gold” with big, synchronized movements from the ensemble, and musical director Robbie Cowan creates stunning choral dynamism from the singers. As fiddlers and guitarists tilt and twirl around the main characters, they form a magical presence that underlines the romantic fantasy in the story. As Guy, Thom Miller is a theatrical triple threat with an arresting voice capable of Hansard’s full octave leaps, fine musicianship and the ability to create a character an audience can love as much

as Girl does. On guitar, Miller evokes soft, moody moments and can launch into muscular, percussive strumming to bring out a song’s raw power. Lily Talevski, as Girl, is a small but spirited woman who grabs Guy’s attention and won’t let go. The character explains her unsettling directness by saying, “I am always serious. I am Czech.” With lowered eyes, Talevski conveys Girl’s conflict between fierce self-assurance and romantic vulnerability. Adam Huel Potter plays Billy, the hottempered music-store owner with a heart of gold. Eric Love plays a bank manager with hidden musical talents, evidence that music reaches everyone. As Andrej, a Czech fast-food worker striving for a promotion, Nick Moulton carries passionate hopes. Seth Eliser, as Svec, gets joyously carried away by mastering Irish customs through soap opera and by playing the drums, sometimes to crazed rock-and-roll excess. As Eamon, Tommy Crawford is a happy-go-lucky street musician who lets his guitar and his sneakered feet express his love of music. Dorothy Stanley plays Baruska, Girl’s mother, with knowing wit and snappy accordion skills. As Guy’s father, Stephen Lee Anderson lends the story an expressive voice and a loving concern for his son. Katie Fay Francis and Rachel Mulcahy are lively fiddlers. Grade schoolers Daria Ballou and Paige Falcone alternate as Girl’s daughter. The story puts no serious obstacles in Guy’s path, and what he’s suffered in love has happened before the musical starts. If the plot is flimsy, it’s easy to forgive because this production captures the deep desire to sing and play music. Music is a bond that can connect Czech immigrants with Irish locals, rich with poor, and audience with performers. Once is uplifting without following the usual romantic conventions, except for one: A song can give anyone hope. m Contact: alex@sevendaysvt.com

SAFE AND CONFIDENT SWIMMERS

World in Brief U Book review: The World Pushes Back by Garret Keizer ntil recently, Garret Keizer hasn’t been lauded for his brevity. Instead, he’s been awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship and appointed contributing editor at Harper’s Magazine for his expansive prose about big ideas. Over his literary career, the Vermont writer has pondered the concept of aid in Help: The Original Human Dilemma, delved into ire in The Enigma of Anger: Essays on a Sometimes Deadly Sin, taken on noise in The Unwanted Sound of Everything We Want and considered privacy in Privacy. Keizer’s essays are equally exhaustive — such as the 5,000-word piece he penned for a 2017 issue of Virginia Quarterly Review, where he’s also a contributing editor. Readers are treated to a smorgasbord of thoughts pertaining to the theme (and title) “Facing North: The Perennial Pull of a Mysterious Direction.” After mentioning that he grew up in a north-facing house in New Jersey, Keizer lets his imagination strike out in several directions, discussing stories of Arctic explorers, ancient human migrations out of Africa, the beliefs of Norse people and Native Americans, and the search for the Northwest Passage. In passing, he mentions his current longtime home in northeastern Vermont. Keizer’s debut poetry collection, The World Pushes Back, won the 2018 X.J. Kennedy Poetry Prize from Texas Review Press. Fans of the writer’s nonfiction deep dives may wonder: Is this another epic foray into a single topic? It is not. On the contrary, Keizer’s poems seem like necessary by-products of the work of serious sense-making. One imagines him producing them at his desk among the drafts of prose manuscripts the way a furniture maker might pause in crafting a chair to fashion an exquisite spinning top from a chunk of leftover wood. Consider an excerpt from a 47-word poem that shares the book’s title. This piece suggests a playful, succinct riff on Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, with its famous “eat me” and “drink me” instructions. The speaker heeds the call of two seemingly voiceless objects: “Lift me, says the suitcase / and makes my hand / magnetic with the ground. / Pull me, says the starter rope, / and pulls me yet again / out of the mind’s dark well…” On the surface, Keizer’s poem simply records what happens: A man pulls a cord and the cord pulls back. Yet this becomes a

motif that reverberates in the collection. As in his nonfiction, Keizer grapples here with the abstract, be it inertia or God or deceased geniuses like Samuel Beckett. The collection is riddled with moments in which ideas appear to have an agenda that works on the poet even as he works on them. Still, if Keizer’s book has a thesis, perhaps it’s stated in this line from opening poem “Traveling Light”: “The older I get the less I’m bothered / by seeming incongruity.”

NORTH EASTER I always go to town, loving to go, when blizzard is predicted. The milk of human kindness glistens on the nipples of disaster. No one shows up at the lost and found to claim his enemy. Deep down we are all preparing to meet our Maker, no less poignantly than our hibernator’s panic empties the supermarket shelves of toilet paper, candles, milk, and wine. Never mind that they’ll have it all plowed in a day — some old wrinkle in the brain keeps whispering Ice Age, while the winking stem goes into heat. You will remember the famous New York City Blackout, how nine months later the maternity wards were crowded as a rush-hour train. Just think of all the babies that will start tonight with the snow already starting to fall like the sperm of angels, and it looks as though more than one is getting through to the egg. Forget biology, man; this is metaphysics. This is the eve of our great North Easter, when the world awakes inside the hillside petals of a single gleaming lily, dusted with the pollen of the risen sun.

Just as John Keats celebrated “negative capability” (which he defined as “being in uncertainties, Mysteries, doubts, without any irritable reaching after fact & reason”), so Keizer writes of his increasing tolerance for incongruous pursuits. In the modern poet’s case, that means reading the Gospel of Mark, which recounts the life and death of Jesus, while listening to Billie Holiday sing “Trav’lin’ Light,” a song about being raked clean by loss. “Traveling Light” also serves as a preview of the verse packed into this book. Many of the collection’s poems argue or play with patriarchal Christian ideas. Many also invoke the muse-like presence of a woman, occasionally singing; many sketch a sense of place. In the poems about Christianity, readers will recognize one of Keizer’s

preoccupations, especially if they’re familiar with his memoir A Dresser of Sycamore Trees: The Finding of a Ministry. In “Waiting,” for example, the Second Coming pops up as an ~ SATURDAY APRIL 27TH ~ almost ho-hum event: “Sometimes Inseldudler 5:30-7:30 pm I am in my backyard waiting /… / … for the burgers to brown, / and it Luiza's Homemade with Love strikes me how… / the dead may be 5:00-8:00 pm raised incorruptible, perhaps / for no other reason than that people were waiting for it, / that a second coming will seem no more than medium / rare…” This almost comical image serves as his counterargument to Beckett’s absurdist vision of 1127 NORTH AVENUE, SUITE 8 Waiting for Godot. The machines of modern life simplerootsbrewing.com also earn a place in this collection, as does inescapable mortality. In “All I Know,” another of Keizer’s tiny specimens, the speaker expresses the sweet oncomingUntitled-37 1 4/15/19 regret that one day “I shall no longer / drive a car / with my right hand / resting / on your cool, bare thigh.” The lines Find, fix and feather with Nest suggest that Keizer’s heart is the muscle Notes — an e-newsletter filled pushing into The World Pushes Back.

But it did little to ease the burn of chiles during a long lunch at Maya’s Kitchen & Bar in Burlington’s New North End last week. In late January, married partners Maya Gurung-Subba and Suk Subba opened the restaurant at 1130 North Avenue — previously home to Nepali Kitchen and, before that, Pho Nguyen. The couple were born in Bhutan but left their homeland as young children in the early 1990s. Both grew up, along with 100,000 other Bhutanese in forced exile, in bamboo huts at a refugee camp in eastern Nepal.

There, Maya knew Suk as her brother’s friend. They were only acquaintances, but they reconnected after they immigrated — separately — to New England in 2008. Maya arrived in Burlington with help from the Vermont Refugee Resettlement Program; Suk landed in Worcester, Mass., through similar means. Two years later, they were married. Suk found work as a cook at A Single Pebble and other Burlington-area restaurants; Maya took a job as a licensed nursing assistant.

When Khadka decided to close the place after just seven months, Maya and Suk took over the lease.

CITY MARKET ADDS SUSHI CONCESSION

A new sushi concession opened at CITY MARKET, ONION RIVER CO-OP last weekend when HISSHO SUSHI launched its business at both locations of the Burlington food co-op. Based in Charlotte, N.C., Hissho (hee-sho) Sushi operates 1,400 locations nationwide, according to RYAN KANG, the regional manager. The City Market locations are the company’s first sites in Vermont, he said. The menu includes about 20 types of sushi combos and rolls with fillings such as tempura shrimp, lettuce and avocado; salmon, tuna and avocado; eel, carrot and cucumber with Japanese barbecue sauce; and avocado, carrot and cucumber. In addition, Hissho Sushi offers starters including spring rolls, seaweed salad and edamame. At the Flynn Avenue store, Hissho Sushi occupies the space adjacent to the deli that was vacated last summer by Juice for the People. Downtown, the business is located near the seafood department. At both sites, the sushi will be prepared daily and stocked in refrigerated cases and at counters. Custom orders will be available when the chefs are in-house. Prices range from $6.49 to $13.99, with $5 specials on Wednesdays.

Kang, 52, is relocating from Albany, N.Y., to run the Burlington branch of Hissho Sushi. He was an investment banker in Seoul before moving to this country nine years ago. Sally Pollak

Let the Sun Shine In ASIAN BAKERY OPENS IN WINOOSKI

Two milestones converged for the Liu family of Essex Junction last Thursday, April 11. KEN LIU, 21, became a U.S. citizen on the day his parents, ANN WONG and KING CHI LIU, opened MORNING LIGHT BAKERY at 106 East Allen Street in Winooski, the former site of DOBRÁ TEA. The self-serve shop specializes in sweet and savory Asian pastries and bubble milk tea. “They have always wanted to open their own business,” Ken said of his parents, who COURTESY OF KEN LIU

emigrated with him from Hong Kong. “And here we go, finally, after eight years. We are wanting to bring the stuff that people haven’t seen yet into the town, something that is different, that no other people have done before. Perhaps people could try something different.” Morning Light Bakery serves cookies, pastries and cakes, including chocolate-blueberry cake and cheesecake. Ken recommends the pineapple bun, which he said is “crunchy and sweet and tastes amazing.” Other menu items include egg tarts; a savory pastry of tuna, corn and cheese; and a square pizza topped with ham, cheese, green peppers and pineapple. “My dad found a passion in baking some pizza,” Ken said. “That’s something they want to build on.” Bubble milk tea is available in five flavors at Morning Light: classic, taro, mango, strawberry and coconut. The bakery is open Monday through Saturday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The FARMHOUSE GROUP will launch its fifth restaurant this week: BLISS BEE at 28 Walnut Street in Williston. The casual, counterservice eatery is set to open on Thursday, according to JED DAVIS, owner of the Farmhouse Group. Serving lunch and dinner, Bliss Bee will offer burgers, salads, grain bowls and shakes, as well as cocktails, beer and wine. The Farmhouse Group is on track to open yet another restaurant this spring when it unveils the Winooski branch of EL CORTIJO, the taqueria and tequila bar on Bank Street in Burlington, according to executive chef and co-owner PHILLIP CLAYTON. In addition, the group plans to open a second Bliss Bee in South Burlington next fall. The first restaurant owned and operated by the Farmhouse Group, the FARMHOUSE TAP & GRILL, opened nine years ago in downtown Burlington.

BLISS BEE OPENING; SOUTH BURLINGTON HANNAFORD UNDER CONSTRUCTION

After several years as an empty shell, the former Kmart building at 947 Shelburne Road is finally seeing some action. Contractors have begun transforming the space into a new home for the South Burlington HANNAFORD, which currently occupies a nearby building across from Lowe’s. The Kmart building is about 12,000 square feet larger than the supermarket’s current home, according to site workers who spoke to Seven Days last week. Maine-based Hannaford will make the most of that extra space with a “fresh, modern look,” external communications manager ERICKA DODGE said. Besides outfitting the space with standard market infrastructure, Hannaford will highlight fresh produce there. “[The] produce department will have the abundant feel of a green grocery store,” Dodge said, adding that a prepared-foods counter will offer sandwiches, salads, stir-fries and other quick lunches. Dodge wouldn’t specify a date for project completion but said she expects full building and site work, including improvement to the wastewater systems, to be under way this spring.

High-Low Fusion « P.42 you can go in their kitchen and learn to cook,” he said. “Now we’re making some of [those dishes] right here.” A $10 plate of marinated chicken choila comes from the Newar people of central Nepal. The meat is dusted with cumin and coriander powder, then dry-fried with fresh chickpeas and mixed with shredded cabbage, carrots and red onion. It comes

with a pile of “beaten rice” — toasty cereal crunchies that my friend and I sprinkled over the top. A saucy tumble of Nepali pork-chile momos ($11) were unlike any other Himalayan dumplings I’ve seen in Burlington. Fried to a gummy crisp, these were bathed in bright tomato-chile sauce and tossed with hearty cuts of bell pepper and onion. Maya’s flat noodles with beef ($9.99)

hail from the temperate hills between Bangladesh and Myanmar. Wide noodles — similar to those in Thailand’s spicy pad kee mao — are sautéed with marinated beef, bell peppers, onion and a splash of barely there tomato-based sauce. A plate of Indo-Chinese Hakka noodles ($8.99) — a popular street food throughout India — originated in a Chinese enclave in colonial Kolkata. “The Chinese brought their food [to India] with them,” Suk said. “And when they ran out of their own spices, they started incorporating the Indian flavors.” The plate was a kinky tangle of wiry noodles tossed with bitter Chinese broccoli and scallions and smoky Indian spices. It tasted of China and India at once. And, ordered spicy, the burn from the chiles was as addictive as it was searing. Maya’s will prepare dishes on a spectrum of mild to hot, but regardless of your preferred heat level, most of the noodles, momos and curries pair well with a brisk, melon-y white wine or rosé. The restaurant is BYOB, so plan ahead if you want to drink. And if you’re a capsaicin junkie like me, bring a wine with a touch of sweetness (perhaps a vinho verde or an off-dry rosé). The sugar helps cut the heat, which has a tendency to build if you order many things. And at Maya’s, I wholeheartedly recommend ordering many things. Something about sitting for a long meal in the restaurant, with its mostly nonexistent décor, vinyl tile floor and bar barren of alcohol, just feels good. Much of that experience owes to the food, which, during my visit, was invariably excellent. But there’s also a gentle confidence in the way Suk and Maya go about their business: The way they attend to requests with friendly efficiency and explain each dish with patience and enthusiasm is not common, even at much fancier restaurants. Then again, most of the people running fancier restaurants didn’t spend their youth in a refugee camp with no hope of ever going home. “We are so happy for all the folks who helped us get into this country,” Suk told me during a phone call late last week, “and for the help we got when we came here, and now the encouragement and support from the community in starting this business. “We had a dream while we were coming to the U.S.,” he added. “Now it’s becoming true.” m

Sweet Meat

A Québécois maple feast at a cabane à sucre in Dunham S TO RY & PHOT OS BY MOLLY ZAPP

here are far more delicious offerings to be had at sugar shacks than syrup or the perennially predictable sugar-on-snow. Mainly, lots and lots of pork, including a crunchy little snack the Québécois call “les oreilles du crises,” or “the ears of Christ” in English. Caveat: A border crossing is required. While residents of the U.S. tend to associate maple with Vermont, Québec actually produces more than 70 percent of the world’s maple syrup. According to Les Cabanes à sucre du Québec, a tourism organization, the province has more than 200 cabanes à sucre — sugar shacks — many of which serve banquetstyle Québécois feasts during the sugaring season. Such meals primarily consist of pork-laden comfort food, but some sugar shacks have their own variations. La Maison amérindienne in Mont-StHilaire serves maple-infused contemporary indigenous food, while Au Pied de Cochon offers upscale meals at its sugar shack in St-Benoît de Mirabel. A few cabanes serve vegan options; still others broaden the maple experience and offer live m u s i c , d a n c i n g, sleigh rides and other activities for kids and tourists. For my taste of cabane culture, I headed to Érablière Hilltop in Dunham, located in the Eastern Townships fewer than 10 miles from the border. The sugar shack’s halfEnglish name speaks to Dunham’s mixed heritage. Originally inhabited by Abenaki, who were making maple syrup long before their first contact with Europeans, Dunham was settled by English Loyalists in 1796. The first township of Europeans established in lower Canada, Dunham is populated primarily by francophones, though anglophones are still common in the area. Québec has featured banquet hall sugar shacks since the 19th century; Érablière Hilltop’s first one was built in 1986. The current cabane à sucre, built in 2000, sits on a cliff buttressed by a 100-acre sugarbush. Its interior is decked

in wood from the floor to the cathedral ceilings. A window in the dining room showcases the maple syrup production facility below. A large wooden canoe hanging from the rafters alludes to the Québécois legend “La Chasse-Galerie,” in which loggers make a pact with the devil to travel to their faraway sweethearts via an enchanted flying canoe. One big draw of Érablière Hilltop is the view from the large deck. Mont Brome, Mont Yamaska, the town of Rougemont and an 1832 stone house are all in its dramatic vista. Owner James Bond said the sugar shack serves about 600 guests per week, the majority on Saturday and Sunday. Why don’t Vermont’s sugar shacks feed such hungry throngs, instead limiting themselves to serving sugar-onsnow, coffee or the occasional breakfast? Michael Lange, an anthropologist and professor at Champlain College, explains that the more open terrain, larger scale of production and “bigger catchment area of neighbors” historically made Québec sugar shacks better suited to feeding large groups. In Vermont, maple festivals tend to be the method of choice for celebrating the running sap while drawing tourists. Earlier this April, though, La Garagista Farm + Winery brought in a guest chef for a pop-up, one-nightonly Québécoisstyle sugar shack dinner in Bethel — for $200 a person. Prices are less steep at Érablière Hilltop, where a Friday discount brought in a handful of locals, a Québécoise friend and me. The four-course set menu (26.95 to 31.30 Canadian dollars) began with cretons, a pork spread similar to a rustic pâté, which we smeared on crusty rolls made in neighboring Cowansville. We also feasted on jars of pleasantly homey pickled red beets and sweet cucumber and red pepper pickles. The lively cabbage slaw was made with a light vinaigrette and fresh cilantro. I giggled at the crudités — the rough carrots looked like they’d been hacked by a frustrated child with a dull knife.

I continued to visit the pickles, needing vegetables for a slight counterbalance to the pork fat. A thick, fluffy omelette was light in comparison with the other dishes. “This could be meat pie instead,” my friend said with a touch of disapproval, preferring the dish she associates with Québécois family feasts. I, by contrast, felt no lack of meat, but I was ready for something sweet. We poured a bit of very light amber syrup onto the omelette, transforming it into a makeshift flan. I had given up desserts for Lent, but, in the spirit of gluttony, journalistic integrity and wanting to get everything I’d paid for, I dug into many that night. First transgression: maple dumpling.

The Swing of Things “We differentiate our music as ‘Progressive Western Swing’ from simply ‘Western Swing’ because we aren’t trying to sound just like Bob Wills,” explains Grace Quebe on the Quebe Sisters’ website. Referring to the 20th-century fiddler who helped establish the fusion of jazz and country music, Quebe says, “Instead, we continue his vision, playing the style he pioneered in an authentic way by incorporating new genres and songs.” Grace and her siblings Sophia and Hulda captivate Americana fans with their close vocal harmonies, tight fiddle instrumentation and a sound that is rooted in tradition yet heading toward the future.

Rough Sax Getting real with Mike Wilbur of Moon Hooch BY J ORDAN AD AMS

oon Hooch play “cave music.” The saxophones-anddrum trio coined the term after developing a unique sound busking in the cavernous subway tunnels of New York City. With the architecture of jazz and the energy of electronic house music, the band’s style is relentlessly danceable and unapologetically experimental. The group is known especially for its ecstatic live performances. Always growing and expanding, the primarily instrumental outfit dabbled a bit with vocals on its full-length studio album, Red Sky, courtesy of co-saxophonist Mike Wilbur. His solo music — an eclectic catalog that ranges from free jazz to clubbed-up electro-pop — is quite vocal-heavy. But the band’s recent release, the three-track Light It Up, is a return to instrumental form. Moon Hooch’s members, James Muschler, Wenzl McGowen and Wilbur, no longer live in New York. They’re scattered across the continental U.S. in Cleveland, Ohio; Reading, Calif.; and New Bedford, Mass. Fun fact: Their current manager, Dan Rome, is based in Williston and plays with local psych-fusion ensembles Gnomedad and the Dead Shakers. Aside from rocking out — as Moon Hooch will do on Saturday, April 20, at Higher Ground in South Burlington — the group is deeply invested in issues relating to veganism, nutrition and sustainable agriculture. Seven Days caught up with Wilbur by phone. SEVEN DAYS: I feel like vocal-heavy albums are often touted as having strong narratives. Do Moon Hooch’s primarily instrumental albums have narratives? MIKE WILBUR: I think for all of us and our music, the narrative has been more of an inner kind of narrative — an energetic narrative, or the narrative of our growth as people and as musicians. The narrative is more in the sound, [in] both our technique and our tones, the melodies, the way we write songs, the way we play together as a group. That’s more of the Moon Hooch narrative — our collective path through life and how that comes across in the music. There are a few vocal tracks on [Red Sky]. Those speak to a certain time in my life. I wrote all of the lyrics to those. So those are a little bit more obvious. But I would say the instrumental music has kind of its own living narrative. To be honest, it feels like we haven’t even released our album yet. All of those other albums are preliminary to what’s coming. They were practice.

From left: James Muschler, Mike Wilbur and Wenzl McGowen of Moon Hooch

SD: Why did you decide to bring your voice into the project? What was that experience like for you? MW: Uh, very weird. Basically, when I was about 22, a few years after the band had started, I was dating a singer. I was taking lessons with her and, at the same time, had started producing on Ableton. So I was just messing around, writing tunes and songs, and I really fell in love with doing that. Wenzl and James were into what I was doing, so they said, “Hey, why don’t you write some songs [with vocals] for Moon Hooch?” And I did, and that was that. ROUGH SAX

Toke Action

This column is an excellent forum for discussing special holiday music events. Throughout the year, you can look to Soundbites for spooky Halloween happenings, Santarelated soirées and New Year’s Eve nonsense. But this week, I’d like to direct your attention to some events that pertain to an extra-special day of remembrance — or a day of forgetfulness, depending on how well you can handle yourself. I’m referring to Saturday, April 20 — aka 4/20. For the first time in our state’s history, cannabis is legal to consume in a recreational capacity on the stonerific holiday. You’re likely to get a whiff of the plant’s signature spicy aroma no matter where you go. And believe me, there are several cool haps conducive to throwing down 4/20-style. Before we go any further, I should point out a couple of things. First, Seven Days’ official cannabis issue comes out on Wednesday, May 15. That week’s paper will be brimming with the latest on all things Green … Mountains. So I’m going kind of rogue here. Second, it’s still illegal to consume cannabis in public spaces — as it is

with alcohol — so nothing much has changed in that regard. You shouldn’t feel empowered or entitled to toke up anywhere you dang well please. And you definitely don’t want to get behind the wheel with any kind of buzz on, no matter what substance you used. That said, those who enjoy cannabis responsibly should have plenty of fun things to choose from this weekend. Most of the following events aren’t officially 4/20-related — but the timing for many is beyond perfect, and I’m making an executive decision to brand them as such. One of the biggest official 4/20 parties happens on Saturday at Zenbarn in Waterbury. Aside from sizzling entertainment from fire-arts ensemble CIRQUE DE FUEGO and a latenight set from irrepressible dance machine DJ DISCO PHANTOM, the event includes appearances from Vermont Cannabis Solutions and Lt. Gov. DAVID ZUCKERMAN, as well as a CBD-infused feast. Folks who like to laugh might check out Revelry Theater’s “420: A Comedy Variety Show.” The black-box theater presents a mishmash of comic stylings, including improv, standup, sketch comedy and music. And this event combines them all. (Disclosure: Seven Days’ BRYAN PARMELEE performs at this show.) No stranger to weedthemed performances, the tiny comedy club also recently presented a set called “Dubious Advice,” in which a panel of legitimately high people answered various questions

from the audience about whatever was on their minds, followed by improvised scenes based on the conversation. Come to think of it — since everything is funny when you’re high — you might as well put your laughs to good use and see some excellent local comedic talent on Friday, April 19, at the FlynnSpace. The recurring showcase is called “Stand Up, Sit Down & Laugh,” and features sets from CARRIERAE SHAMEL, MIKE THOMAS, KYLE GADAPEE, OWEN FOLEY, MEREDITH GORDON and host JOSIE LEAVITT. Also on Friday, Providence, R.I., art-pop group ARC IRIS begin a twonight run at the Light Club Lamp Shop. The band visits the area on the reg — but usually comes to bigger venues, such as the Barns at Lang Farm, the ECHO Leahy Center for Lake Champlain and Higher Ground’s Showcase Lounge. The fact that it’s playing the petite LCLS is special in and of itself. Though Arc Iris aren’t touting their doubleheader as 4/20-related, methinks it’s the perfect show to witness while feeling the moderate effects of the green. The group’s fearless experimentalism and cosmic instrumentation is enough to expand your mind even when completely sober. Also spanning Friday SOUNDBITES

and Saturday, ZappaFest takes over various locations at the University of Vermont. The focal point of the FRANK ZAPPA symposium is the UNIVERSITY JAZZ ENSEMBLE’s performance in the Grand Maple Ballroom at the Davis Center on Saturday evening. New York City saxophone virtuoso ED PALERMO arranged selected works for the concert and will perform with the band. Zappa, whose boundless sound ranges from psychrock to wholly unclassifiable mumbojumbo, was a pioneering force in fusion music. He was trippy as hell, as is his absurdly huge discography. Irie stoners looking to commune with Jah should head to the Monkey House for SOULSTICE and LYON’S DISCIPLE on Saturday. This one’s kind of a nobrainer, no-explainer. And I imagine there may be some audience crossover between this show and the LIZARDS, a PHISH cover band, at Nectar’s, who play the same night. Gusto’s in Barre is throwing an EDM glow party with DJ duo ELMT to celebrate the date at hand. While pulsing house and dubstep might not seem like a natural fit for THC-induced shenanigans, I think it really depends on the strain. Technically, I can’t officially suggest the following event as a 4/20 activity, since it takes place in New York State, where cannabis has yet to reach full legal status. But if it were legal, I’d say Plattsburgh’s electro-psych outfit the MOUNTAIN CAROL and Burlington post-punk group ROOST — who play back-to-back at Monopole — would be the go-to 4/20 show in the Lake City. Maybe next year?

All kidding aside, we should be glad that cannabis prohibition in the Green Mountains has (mostly) come to an end. We may like to joke around about getting high and seeing crazy music, but we should be celebrating the fact that the new laws are helping to end the stupid-AF war on drugs and will (hopefully) prevent unnecessary incarceration. Once again, please enjoy yourself responsibly this weekend.

SEVEN DAYS APRIL 17-24, 2019 4/15/19 11:16 AM

Hot Fuss In the mid- to late 1990s, mainstream music enjoyed a brief yet furious swing revival. Southern-bred gypsy-jazz

ensemble SQUIRREL NUT ZIPPERS were at the forefront of the nostalgic resurgence, nabbing national radio airplay with hits such as “Hell” and “Suits Are Picking Up the Bill.” After a hiatus through much of the 2000s, the group recently returned to stages with a mostly new, ridiculously talented lineup of players. Original cofounder Jimbo Mathus continues to front the group, joined by charismatic new vocalist Cella Blue. Catch Squirrel Nut Zippers on Sunday, April 21, at the Higher Ground Ballroom in South Burlington.

REVIEW this Spencer Lewis, Riffs on a Broad Reach

(WOODSTONE MOUNTAIN, CD, DIGITAL DOWNLOAD)

If Spencer Lewis had his way, he’d be Vermont’s musician laureate. Unfortunately, that designation doesn’t currently exist. But as he argues on his website, the state has a poet laureate — not to mention a cartoonist laureate — so why not a similar honor for the state’s musical artists? If anyone is deserving of the accolade, the Randolph-based singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and composer certainly boasts the résumé. In his threedecade-plus career, Lewis has released more than 30 albums spanning a breadth of genres from acoustic instrumental work to rustic folk and rock, all of

Fat Tiger, Crosstalk (SELF-RELEASED, DIGITAL, CASSETTE)

Though big-budget music videos are mostly a thing of the past, the music industry continues to push the union of sights and sounds. Whether it’s an elegant lyric video uploaded to YouTube, an experimental film like Beyoncé’s Lemonade or looped clips that play on your phone’s screen without warning as you listen to Spotify, there is no shortage of ways to combine audio with visual stimuli. Just don’t expect to see many more “Sledgehammer” or “Take On Me” epics. In keeping with the times, Burlington experimental duo Fat Tiger’s debut

which are inspired by and capture a distinct kind of Vermontiana. He’s even done a children’s album. Lewis’ latest instrumental record, Riffs on a Broad Reach, is yet another worthy addition to the greater Green Mountain canon. For landlubbers, a broad reach is a sailing term that refers to a downwind sail position in which the sails are eased out almost as far as they will go. It’s not quite as gusty, or gutsy, a technique as a dead run, a sometimes dangerous maneuver in which the wind blows directly behind the boat. But a broad reach is an ideal tactic for cruising at speed. On the opening track, “High Over Bethel,” Lewis unfurls a blustery swirl of electric guitar, organ and drums. The driving, instrumental folk-rock song evokes that thrilling moment

when the wind first catches in your sails, propelling your boat forward. The pleasant inertia continues on the next cut, “Interstellar,” which fuses Lewis’ arcing fiddle runs with searing electric guitar. Lewis is best known for his more impressionistic and contemplative compositions. He follows suit on “Reaching,” a gently lolling number whose serene vibe matches painter Rose Loving’s opaque cover art of a sailboat at sunset. Lewis’ fiddle flits and flutters above rolling acoustic guitars, like playful gulls trailing a sloop in the breeze. While Riffs on a Broad Reach is nominally a solo album, Lewis captains a fine crew that includes drummers Jeff Berlin and Brett Hoffman, multiinstrumentalist Rudy Dauth, bassist Eric Graham, and keyboardist Bryn Bliska. Each player adds depth and character to Lewis’ compositions, nowhere more so than on the album’s centerpiece, the four-song suite “Channeling I-IV.” The sequence anchors the record and,

taken as a whole, could represent the album in microcosm. Each movement builds on the previous one, with dovetailing themes that emerge and disappear like waves. Any good sailor knows that conditions can change unexpectedly. What begins as a placid meditation erupts in a squall by the end. The storm relents on the calming “Meadow Riff,” a fine example of Lewis’ immaculate cross-picking guitar style. Later, dark clouds gather on the brooding album closer “Stone Silence,” bringing to mind an old nautical saying: “Red sky in morning, sailors take warning; red sky at night, sailors’ delight.” But whether it’s morning or night, warning or blessing, the listener is left to decide. That interpretive quality has long been a hallmark of the would-be laureate’s finer work, which Riffs on a Broad Reach undoubtedly is. Riffs on a Broad Reach is available at spencerlewismusic.com.

album, Crosstalk, comes with an accompanying set of psychedelic visuals courtesy of Tony Berry. Kaleidoscopic swirls of color and shapes bend and bleed as the duo’s instrumental electrolounge tunes play. Local concert lighting company Heavy Light projects the same kind of liquid analog effects during live shows. The visuals are the perfect companion to Fat Tiger’s slippery experimental sound. Eric Segalstad and Gahlord Dewald, both scene veterans, first stepped out as Fat Tiger on Sound Friends Vol. 1, a 2018 compilation cassette from local tape production and duplication service Sticky Shed Tapes. Their tune “Zealot,” which also appears on Crosstalk, is a 40-watt chill-out piece

composed of murmuring Moog synth, whispers of bass and jittering percussive accents. The duo’s seven-track album expands on the sexy-smooth compositional language uttered on “Zealot” with Spanish guitar, breakbeat cymbals and trip-hop aesthetics. Along with Segalstad and Dewald, abstract painter Steve Sharon and Binger timekeeper Dalton Muzzy add live drums to the band’s white-hot cauldron of smelted analog synth. The album opens with “Portal,” a foreboding and twitchy introduction. Syncopated bubbles of synth contend with dramatic stabs of electronic noise over herky-jerky beats. In certain brief moments, the track’s elements seem wholly independent from a greater entity, each forging their own path. But as they twist and writhe, those components fuse into a reflective prism. “Peña” begins with a Star Wars

droid-like gargle: Segalstad’s guitar sent through layers of processing. The jazzy track continues as a melancholy conversation between guitar and bass, but, as it ticks on, the song unravels into avant-garde chaos. A steady bass line gives “Pixel” an unmitigated groove as metallic jangles and swaths of tingling noise flit in and out. Reaching an almost disco-like pinnacle, the tune recalls local funk-hop outfit Japhy Ryder. As Fat Tiger, sonic whizzes Segalstad and Dewald forge an utterly listenable partnership. Mysterious and invigorating, the atmosphere they create is sublime. Crosstalk will be available on all major streaming platforms on Friday, April 19. Fat Tiger celebrate the album’s release the same day at Community of Sound in Burlington.

I think, in a lot of ways, it caused some weird tensions in the band, because it’s a three-piece band and there’s not really a lead person. I think by the very nature of using spoken language, [it] kind of puts you up front. So, that caused some tensions within the band. In retrospect, I don’t think it’s our best work, the vocal stuff. I think Moon Hooch, at its roots, is a saxophone dance band. It’s something we tried out. I’m not saying we wouldn’t do it again. But I think we’re steering more toward instrumental music. SD: It seems that the band’s comfort zone is about 125 to 130 beats per minute. What is it about that tempo that you’re drawn to? And do you have anything against the bumpand-grind region of 80 to 100 BPM? MW: No, not at all. Check out my personal music, because I’m really into that 80 to 100, 110. I love 110. I don’t know. We played in the subway a lot, and we just kind of saw what people reacted to and evolved toward that. SD: I just watched the video for “Acid Mountain.” I have to say, I found it pretty disturbing — and I can usually handle a lot. MW: Yeah, it’s totally disturbing. SD: I know you didn’t direct it, but what’s your interpretation of what’s happening there? MW: I’m glad I get to finally talk about this. All three videos [from Light It Up] were paid for by our last manager and label. They just found these random videographers to do them. We basically had no part in them whatsoever, which I hope is kind of obvious. SD: You know, I actually did think that. I knew something was off. MW: This guy [Alex Italics] — I don’t mean to be a dick; I don’t even know this guy — but he directed the video, and it was just mannequins. Still shots of mannequins with digital light going on them. I don’t even think that’s real light. I was like, “This is stupid. There should be [a guy who] comes in with an AK-47 and an American flag around him and destroys the mannequins and fucks them and turns into a pile of goo.” I wanted it to be really fucked up. I have a messed-up brain. I wanted it to show how disgusting and toxic masculinity and American white men are. Some kind of radical message. I wanted it to be way more in your face.

SD: Yeah, I think it was too ambiguous. I couldn’t tell if it was supposed to be a comment on creepy dude behavior or not. MW: I wanted it to show the fucked-up relationship men have toward women — and everything. Toward life itself. And how they have this tendency to use it and destroy it. And I feel like a lot of people didn’t get that. I didn’t direct the video — and that is the last time that will ever happen. I’m glad it wasn’t worse, honestly.

I WANTED IT TO

BE REALLY FUCKED UP. MIK E W IL BUR

SD: I think the main problem was that nothing was challenging the protagonist, or whatever we want to call him. He just got to do whatever he wanted, and it seemed like he was satisfied at the end. That was sort of off-putting. MW: We spent 2,000 bucks on it, so we had to release it. Our [former] manager was pushing to release it. It was a weird thing, man. I’m glad we’re out of that whole fucking scene.

ST. PAUL & THE BROKEN BONES W/ TANK & THE BANGAS SMALLTALKER THURSDAY, JUNE 6 WATERFRONT TENT

SD: Switching gears, do you have an all-time favorite saxophone solo in a rock or pop song? MW: Actually, yes. First thing that comes to mind is this Billy Joel song, [“Christie Lee.”] It’s a terrible song, but the sax solo — I remember being a kid and thinking, That’s fucking raging.

TOOTS & THE MAYTALS W/ THE BIG TAKEOVER SABOUYOUMA

Understanding Wholeness Cameron Davis, Northern Daughters Annex Gallery B Y E L IZA B ETH M. SE YL ER

iewing the latest exhibit of Cameron Davis’ paintings is like stepping into an old-growth forest. Senses become alert to nuances of light, depth and color. The mind is calmed by an invitation to linger and look closely at what is visible and what is hidden beneath layers of time and space. Davis’ exhibition at the Northern Daughters Annex Gallery in Shelburne is a rich and complex foray into art, nature and community. It is both an opportunity to “celebrate these amazingly dynamic young gallerists, Justine Jackson and Sophie Pickens,” Davis says in an interview, and to honor “this community hub, which Kevin Clayton has created.” The Annex — to Vergennes-based Northern

Daughters gallery — opened last fall in a light-filled room in the newly expanded Village Wine & Coffee, which Clayton owns. “I was really interested in the intersection between people and place,” Davis says, “so I chose paintings that were informed by the surrounding landscape, within a mile of Shelburne: the La Platte River, Shelburne Orchards and Lake Champlain.” Twelve acrylic works on panels or canvas present abstract and representative images. In “Shelburne Orchards I & II,” dark branches poke out from an explosion of greens and yellows, inspired by the orchard’s fall hues, Davis explains. The two 66-by-36-inch canvases COURTESY OF CAMERON DAVIS

are displayed side by side, touching each other, and each has a visible line across its center. From a distance, four small, square paintings compose one large square, but colors and gestures bleed across the boundaries. “I’m interested in the simultaneity of moments,” Davis adds. Rather than create paintings of single locations, she has combined multiple frames within the same canvas to convey “multiple times in multiple places. For me, that makes it more dynamic and changing, the way it feels like life really is.” A lifetime of experience grounds Davis’ art. Since the 1970s, the senior lecturer in the University of Vermont’s Department of Art and Art History has been painting and showing her work locally and regionally. The recipient of numerous awards, she most recently won the 2015 UVM Lattie F. Coor Collaborative Fellowship for her project “UVM and the Environmental Humanities.” In the past year, Davis has exhibited in Princeton, N.J., and Cleveland, Ohio; locally, her art is currently on display at the UVM Medical Center as well as in Shelburne.

Davis also serves on the steering committee of the UVM EcoCulture Lab, a collaborative effort among artists, humanists, scientists, designers and others to address the ecological challenges of the Anthropocene era. Her reverence for the Earth and concern about climate change and social justice profoundly shape her art. Davis created “Champlain Tonglen I (white)” and “Champlain Tonglen II,” on view in Shelburne, with the health of Lake Champlain and the entire Champlain Basin in mind. Based on the Tibetan Buddhist practice of tonglen — “the breathing in of suffering and the breathing out of healing,” Davis explains — both 48-by-60-inch works reference grief over water degradation and offer beauty as a form of healing. Like woodland ecosystems, some paintings present different information according to one’s vantage point. Peering at “Airs, Waters, Soils (Places) IV” up close from the left reveals dark twigs hovering above an amorphous, verdant backdrop. Facing it from two feet away highlights gold-colored paint that evokes the precious or sacred but also reflects light, obscuring images beneath. From across the room, the work churns in an apparent cycle of death and rebirth.

“Airs, Waters, Soils (Places) VI (blossoms)”

“The compositional complexity in her paintings is balanced by a rich but limited palette that allows the viewer to soak in their potency and not be overwhelmed,” writes Jackson in a press release. “Her use of translucence in her representation of plant matter allows you to see the decomposing forest floor and plants in full bloom at the same time.” Davis’ paintings seem to continue evolving even after she has hung them on the wall. Most works in the exhibit have experienced rebirths of a sort. The tonglen, orchard and other series on display were also shown at the 2016 exhibit “Of Land and Local: Watershed,” organized by Burlington City Arts and Shelburne Farms. But Davis has since “reworked, rethought and rearranged them,” she says. For example, the tonglen pieces originally “were much leaner. I took the layering further and shifted the emphasis of what you notice and don’t notice.” How does she know when one of her works is complete? “It draws you in,” Davis suggests. “You keep wondering; you keep thinking about it. There’s a presence about it. It’s alive.” Davis is currently working on a new series “deciphering the lyrics of lichen,” she says, referencing the words of author Ursula K. Le Guin. Central to the series is the concept of sympoiesis, or “the making with,” as Davis defines it. While painting a lily pad from the La Platte River, for example, she considers its life and health and responds to patterns she observes in the plant and surrounding water. Through painting, she engages with the complexity and interdependence of nature in an improvisational, emergent way. In describing this process, Davis cites filmmaker Nora Bateson, director-producer of the documentary An Ecology of Mind, who asks, “How can we improve our perception of the complexity we live within, so we

“Airs, Waters, Soils (Places) IV”

may improve our interaction with the world?” Like Bateson, Davis believes that “the arts are where we flex the muscle of relational understanding — how things are in relationship to each other. It’s the way all of evolution works.” As Davis ponders tools to help humans address climate change, she looks to our evolving understanding of the interdependence of ecological systems. “I think we’re entering into understanding wholeness,” Davis says, “whether we’re talking about soil or talking about tango or talking about the space in a painting.” m Contact: elizabeth@sevendaysvt.com

movies The Public ★★★★

n 1985, which member of The Breakfast Club would you have guessed would go on to become the most accomplished artist? Anthony Michael Hall? Molly Ringwald? Life imitated art a bit when it came to Judd Nelson and Ally Sheedy. They played troubled underachievers in John Hughes’ classic. Nelson has mostly toiled in lowbudget pictures and TV, while Sheedy has worked sporadically and struggled with substance abuse. Emilio Estevez once looked like the cultural runt of the litter. His father is Martin Sheen. His brother is Charlie Sheen, which doesn’t mean today what it once did. In 1987, when Wall Street was released, Charlie was as big as stars get. Estevez, meanwhile, has methodically reinvented himself as a writer-director of ambitious films such as Bobby (2006) and The Way (2010). Currently scheduled to open April 26 at the Savoy Theater, The Public is his most assured and trenchant to date. Estevez wrote, directed, produced and stars in the ripped-from-the-headlines story of a public library occupied by members of the public who have nowhere else to go. The headline he ripped it from is “Written Off,”

REVIEWS

a 2007 Los Angeles Times piece by librarian Chip Ward, examining the forces that have transformed America’s libraries into de facto homeless shelters. Estevez plays Stuart Goodson, supervisor of the Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County, where the film was shot. Ever more of his time is spent supervising indigent people who take shelter there each day. A former addict who himself lived on the streets for a time, Stuart has an easy, respectful rapport with the population. Unfortunately, he also has a boss (Jeffrey Wright) who’s about to fire him because of a lawsuit and a slimeball nemesis, the city prosecutor (Christian Slater), who’s running for mayor and is happy to pretzel the truth, invent facts and stoke the public’s discomfort with the homeless to net votes. That’s right, he’s the film’s official Donal Trump proxy. At one point, Slater’s character lies to a TV reporter about a situation, and someone cracks, “fake news.” That situation is a nonviolent protest by 70 desperate men. The city’s shelters are full, and it’s so cold that people outdoors are freezing to death at night. So these guys decide to sit tight, and Stuart backs them up. He even springs for pizza. It sounds harmless enough, right? But

HELTER SHELTER Estevez envisions a face-off between the powerful and the poor to raise awareness of this country’s vulnerable invisible.

Estevez does something unexpected. Slater’s slimeball lies to the media, claiming Stuart is armed and holding hostages. Faster than you can say Dog Day Afternoon, a police negotiator (Alec Baldwin) is on the line, and SWAT teams are suiting up. Suddenly, the librarian is looking at the possibility of not making it to morning. Things get white-knuckle in the course of the standoff. The scenario has a delectable sense of ’70s paranoia: Think Ex Libris: The New York Public Library meets One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest. Estevez manages more than making pulses pound; he makes salient points concerning income inequality, addiction, mental illness,

Missing Link ★★★★

he marketing for the stop-motion animation Missing Link showcases its title character, a Sasquatch who sports close-set eyes, gaping nostrils (they could trigger trypophobia) and a toothy, disarming grin. Frankly, the image is off-putting to the point where it’s no surprise that Missing Link didn’t bring families flocking to theaters this weekend. People should think twice about missing the movie, though. While the latest from Laika (Coraline, The Boxtrolls) isn’t the studio’s best, it still offers a pleasantly eccentric good time. Written and directed by Chris Butler, the guy behind Laika’s ParaNorman, Missing Link starts as a satirical riff on square-jawed imperialist-adventurers. In the Victorian era, Sir Lionel Frost (voiced by Hugh Jackman) is an intrepid monster hunter, a sort of Fox Mulder avant la lettre who yearns for respect from his more staid explorer peers. When he gets a lead on a bigfoot in the wilds of Washington State, he jumps at the chance to impress the insufferable Lord PiggotDunceby (Stephen Fry), who boasts of having “brought good British table manners to savages the world over.” Turns out, though, that bagging the bigfoot is no simple matter. The creature (Zach Galifianakis), whom Sir Lionel dubs “Mr. Link,” is articulate, literate and lonely. It was he who tipped off Lionel to his own whereabouts, hoping to enlist the explorer to help him find his distant relatives. Soon the two set off in 80 SEVEN DAYS APRIL 17-24, 2019

FUDDY-BUDDY A Victorian monster hunter and his bigfoot quarry become unlikely friends in Laika’s new stop-motion animation.

search of the fabled yeti of the Himalayas, pursued by Piggot-Dunceby’s evil minions. In most animated flicks, Mr. Link would serve as a stand-in for the children in the audience — essentially a bumbling, overgrown kid. Galifianakis brings the bigfoot a different quality: silly, yes, but also self-deprecating, a little melancholy, a little gender-fluid (Mr. Link’s chosen first name is “Susan,” to Lionel’s dismay) and thoroughly 2019.

Watching Lionel, who’s all sharp points and clipped vowels, interact with this big, hairy, rounded goofball is like watching Victorian masculinity confront the millennial version. Surprise: They bond. First, though, they need the help of Adelina Fortnight (Zoe Saldana), who shows up mainly to give Lionel lessons in emotional intelligence and appreciating his offbeat pal. (Though the screenplay eventually makes the point that the female

climate change, police brutality and the ailing state of literacy. That’s a lot for one movie to shoulder, but he makes it look effortless. More importantly, he makes it credible, human and illuminating. T.S. Eliot wrote that we should “arrive where we started / And know the place for the first time.” The Breakfast Club was set in a library. Thirty-four years later, Estevez once again stalks the stacks. It’s a digital world, sure, but this love letter to lending institutions still merits checking out. As a filmmaker, Estevez has arrived. RI C K KI S O N AK

lead should have her own journey, Adelina’s journey stays off-screen.) To the extent that Missing Link is really, stealthily, about generational insecurities, it should appeal to the same adult viewers who loved Wes Anderson’s Fantastic Mr. Fox. While not as stunning as that film, this one offers a beautifully realized world, from Lionel’s bric-a-brac-crammed study to misty, jewel-toned forests and mountains to deck chairs that catch the air like sails. For adults, Missing Link is a Tintin comic brought to life and infused with modern ambivalence about all those old romantic notions of exploration and discovery. For kids … well, they may enjoy the slapstick and verbal humor, and older ones could appreciate the tropes the movie riffs on. But it’s anyone’s guess how they’ll respond to Mr. Link, who really is pretty off-putting in both his appearance and his contemporaneity. When the bigfoot is threatened by bad guys who want to skin and mount him, Galifianakis exclaims, “No, thank you!” with all the verve of someone blocking a troll on Twitter. It’s a funny performance in part because he barely bothers to goose up his affect to match the stylized animated world, and Missing Link is a reminder that it would be nice to see (and hear) more of him. But it’s the bigfoot’s loneliness that lingers as the credits roll. MARGO T HARRI S O N

HARRY BLISS

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY BY ROB BREZSNY REAL APRIL 18-24 because you’re on the verge of a similar transition: from the old meaning of “beat” to the new.

GEMINI

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19)

French writer Simone de Beauvoir sent a letter to her lover, Aries author Nelson Algren. She wrote, “I like so much the way you are so greedy about life and yet so quiet, your eager greediness and your patience, and your way of not asking much of life and yet taking much because you are so human and alive that you find much in everything.” I’d love to see you embody that state in the coming weeks, Aries. In my astrological opinion, you have a mandate to be both utterly relaxed and totally thrilled; both satisfied with what life brings you and skillfully avid to extract the most out of it; both at peace with what you already have and primed to grab for much more.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): The Beat Generation of American poets arose in the late 1940s as a rebellion against materialistic mainstream culture and academic poetry. It embraced sexual liberation, Eastern spirituality, ecological awareness, political activism, and psychedelic drugs. One of its members, Jack Kerouac, tweaked and ennobled the word “beat” to serve as the code name for their movement. In its old colloquial usage, “beat” meant tired or exhausted. But Kerouac reconsecrated it to mean “upbeat” and “beatific,” borrowing from the Italian word beato, translated as “beatific.” I bring this to your attention, Taurus,

(May 21-June 20): “Scattered through the ordinary world, there are books and artifacts and perhaps people who are like doorways into impossible realms of impossible and contradictory truth.” Argentinian author Jorge Luis Borges said that, and now I’m passing it on to you — just in time for your entrance into a phase when such doorways will be far more available than usual. I hope you will use Borges’ counsel as a reminder to be alert for everyday situations and normal people that could lead you to intriguing experiences and extraordinary revelations and life-changing blessings.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): The Free Will Astrology Committee to Boldly Promote Cancerians’ Success is glad to see that you’re not politely waiting for opportunities to come to you. Rather, you’re tracking them down and proactively wrangling them into a form that’s workable for your needs. You seem to have realized that what you had assumed was your fair share isn’t actually fair; that you want and deserve more. Although you’re not being mean and manipulative, neither are you being overly nice and amenable; you’re pushing harder to do things your way. I approve! And I endorse your efforts to take it even further. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Many experts who have studied the art and science of running fast believe that it’s best if a runner’s legs are symmetrical and identical in their mechanics. But that theory is not supported by the success of champion sprinter Usain Bolt. Because he has suffered from scoliosis, his left leg is a half inch longer than his right. With each stride, his left leg stays on the track longer than his right, and his right hits the track with more force. Some scientists speculate that this unevenness not only doesn’t slow him down but may in fact enhance his speed. In accordance with current astrological variables, I suspect you will be able to thrive on your asymmetry in the coming weeks, just as your fellow Leo Usain Bolt does. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Virgo adventurer Jason Lewis traveled around the world

using transportation powered solely by his own body. He walked, bicycled, skated, rowed, pedaled and swam more than 46,000 miles. I propose that we make him your role model for the next four weeks. You’re primed to accomplish gradual breakthroughs through the use of simple, persistent, incremental actions. Harnessing the power of your physical vitality will be an important factor in your success.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Curcumin is a chemical found in the plant turmeric. When ingested by humans, it may diminish inflammation, lower the risk of diabetes, support cardiovascular health and treat digestive disorders. But there’s a problem: The body is inefficient in absorbing and using curcumin — unless it’s ingested along with piperine, a chemical in black pepper. Then it’s far more available. What would be the metaphorical equivalent to curcumin in your life? An influence that could be good for you but that would be even better if you synergized it with a certain additional influence? And what would be the metaphorical equivalent of that additional influence? Now is a good time to investigate these questions. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “I have the usual capacity for wanting what may not even exist,” wrote poet Galway Kinnell. How about you, Scorpio? Do you, too, have an uncanny ability to long for hypothetical, invisible, mythical and illusory things? If so, I will ask you to downplay that amazing power of yours for a while. It’s crucial for your future development that you focus on yearning for actual experiences, real people and substantive possibilities. Please understand: I’m not suggesting you’re bad or wrong for having those seemingly impossible desires. I’m simply saying that for now you will thrive on being attracted to things that are genuinely available. SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “Sometimes I have kept my feelings to myself, because I could find no language to describe them in,” wrote Sagittarian novelist Jane Austen. I’m guessing you’ve had that experience — maybe more than usual, of late. But I suspect you’ll soon be finding ways to express those embryonic feelings. Congrats in

advance! You’ll discover secrets you’ve been concealing from yourself. You’ll receive missing information whose absence has made it hard to understand the whole story. Your unconscious mind will reveal the rest of what it has thus far merely been hinting at.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): All over the world, rivers and lakes are drying up. Sources of water are shrinking. Droughts are becoming more common and prolonged. Why? Mostly because of climate change. The good news is that lots of people are responding to the crisis with alacrity. Among them is an engineer in India named Ramveer Tanwar. Since 2014, he has organized efforts leading to the rejuvenation of 12 dead lakes and ponds. I propose we make him your role model for the coming weeks. I hope he will inspire you to engage in idealistic pursuits that benefit other people. And I hope you’ll be motivated to foster fluidity and flow and wetness everywhere you go. The astrological time is ripe for such activities. AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18): A blogger named Caramelizee offered her definition of elegance: “being proud of both your feminine and masculine qualities, seeing life as a nonending university and learning everything you can, caring for yourself with tender precision, respecting and taking advantage of silences, tuning in to your emotions without being oversensitive, owning your personal space and being generous enough to allow other people to own their personal space.” This definition of elegance will be especially apropos and useful for you Aquarians in the coming weeks.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You Pisceans have been summoning heroic levels of creative intensity. You’ve been working extra hard and extra smart. But it seems that you haven’t been fully recognized or appreciated for your efforts. I’m sorry about that. Please don’t let it discourage you from continuing to express great integrity and authenticity. Keep pushing for your noble cause and offering your best gifts. I’m proud of you! And although you may not yet have reaped all the benefits you will ultimately sow, three months from now I bet you’ll be pleased that you pushed so hard to be such a righteous servant of the greater good.

Thanks for helping us raise $95,375.32 (and counting) for the Vermont Foodbank during the last 10 years. Let’s keep it up!

CHEERS TO 10 YEARS! BY COREY GRENIER, MARKETING & EVENTS DIRECTOR SEVEN DAYS / VERMONT RESTAURANT WEEK

When I tell people I organize Vermont Restaurant Week, their first question is always, “Which restaurant should I go to?” My answer is, “Beauty is in the belly of the beholder.” Seriously, there are so many options to choose from that it can be hard to choose. Luckily for you, this gal is a seasoned (see what I did there — food pun) Restaurant Week veteran, and I’m here to help you make the most of this 10-day adventure. But first, did you know that Vermont Restaurant Week is celebrating its 10th year? That’s right, 10 years of deliciousness. We couldn’t have done it without you. Thanks for supporting local businesses, helping us raise $95,375.32 (and counting) for the Vermont Foodbank, and coming back hungry for more each year. Special thanks goes to the Vermont Federal Credit Union, our presenting sponsor from the very start! If you’re new to this event, welcome! Here’s how it works: For 10 days, April 26 through May 5, more than 100 restaurants from Brattleboro to St. Albans will offer special prix-fixe dinners at three price points — $20, $30 or $40 per person. Breakfast, brunch and lunch specials at select locations will also be available. The diversity of cuisines at participating restaurants makes it easy for all diners to find something to whet their appetite. Before you dig in, here are my top-10 tips to nibble on…

Grab a pair of scissors, a pen and maybe some Post-it notes before you snuggle up to this guide. These tools will help you keep track of your favorite menus. Pro tip: Use the index and handydandy planner on page 8 to stay super organized.

Is your sister a vegetarian? No problem. Use the search tool on vermontrestaurantweek.com to browse restaurants by region, cuisine type, price and meals served. Even the pickiest of eaters will find this feature satisfying.

It’s better to be safe than sorry! Once you’ve narrowed down your favorite menus, make a reservation. Not all restaurants take them, but we suggest calling ahead.

Can’t make it to dinner? Some restaurants are offering breakfast, lunch and brunch specials, too. If you’re feeling feisty, you could eat out for every meal! Whoa.

Treat yourself! Restaurant Week is a great excuse to sample the tastes of Vermont with a hot date or with friends.

WHO’S GOT THE RECIPE FOR SUCCESS? As you flip through this guide, take note of menus that excite and entice your taste buds! This year we invite you to tell us who the real taste makers are by voting for your favorite menus during Vermont Restaurant Week.

THE CATEGORIES ARE • Most creative theme • Most likely to make your [vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, etc…] friend happy • Most motivating offer

NEW CONTEST!

The restaurants put a lot of love into their menus. Now show them some love. Go to vermontrestaurantweek.com and write in your nominations by Sunday, May 5, at 5 p.m. You can only vote once per category, so make it count. All participants will be entered to win a gift card to a local restaurant.

TO BENEFIT

Throughout the week there are several special events, including the Sweet Start Smackdown, Pints & Poses Yoga, the Sensory Social, a Culinary Trivia Night, the Dish and cooking classes (see page 6).

If your dining companion isn’t interested in the official Restaurant Week menu, never fear! Most restaurants will be serving their full menus in addition to their special offerings, so there will be plenty to choose from.

8 9

Post to social media or it didn’t happen! Share your dining adventures with the world and remember to use #vtrestoweek. Road trip? Winter is over, so take the highway — or the back way — to a new dining destination. You can check off some towns on your 251 list along the way!

Forget about the calories and have a pair of sweatpants handy.

SPECIAL EVENTS SCHEDULE The Wild World of Fermentation WEDNESDAY, MAY 1, 5:30-7 P.M., ARTSRIOT, BURLINGTON

Fermented food and beverages have recently risen in popularity, but the ancient technique has been around since the Stone Age. Traditionally used as a means to preserve food, the technology has evolved to encompass a broad range of flavors and products while shaking up the culinary landscape. From bread to beer, kombucha to kimchi, fermentation plays a role in much of the food and drink we consume each day. Join us for a special Restaurant Week edition of the Dish to explore the wild world of fermentation. We’ll hear from brewers, farmers, chefs and business owners about their experiences with fermented products while exploring claimed health benefits, opportunities to preserve local food, and whether this food trend is here to stay. Special thanks to City Market, Onion River Co-op and the Intervale Center. $5 suggested donation (benefits the Vermont Foodbank). Register at vermontrestaurantweek.com.
