BON VOYAGE

MAPLE LEAF TO MAPLEFIELDS?

Skip Vallee

About six of the motel’s units are rented, Thompson said. That’s roughly half its capacity.

The rental agreements are between Hoechner and his tenants, said Vallee, “and that’s not something we’ve tried to interfere with other than accommodating him to give folks there a lot of lead time.”

If the project gets approval, construction would likely not break ground until next year.

The long haul begins August 24 at the Canadian border. From there, he’ll make his way south, bagging many of Vermont’s tallest peaks before finishing about 10 days later at the trail’s terminus near the Massachusetts border. With a bivouac sack and a sleeping pad, he intends to stay in shelters along the trail.

“Running is the only thing I knew would really draw attention to it, ’cause not a lot of people are, some say, crazy enough to try and run the Long Trail in a week and a half,” LaCroix says in a video about his adventure. “I have never done anything like this before.

Those issues inspired LaCroix to try to raise $50,000 to split between a sober housing organization, Vermont Foundation of Recovery; and the Vermont Recovery Network, which oversees treatment centers around the state.

That’s the additional settlement money Vermont took in from Volkswagen, Audi and Porsche last week. The state has already received $22.9 million in the wake of the auto makers’ emissions cheating scandal; $2.9 million of the new settlement will go to Vermont consumers.

MOTEL: MOLLY WALSH; SKIP VALLEE: FILE: JAMES BUCK

G

asoline mogul Skip Vallee hopes to demolish the extended-stay Maple Leaf Motel on Route 7 in South Burlington to make way for a Maplefields gas station and convenience store.

“They are going to make us homeless,” predicted Jamie Thompson, one of the motel’s long-term residents, who is now worried about finding another affordable place to live.

Thompson works as an aide for a child with special needs and has lived in a one-bedroom efficiency at the motel for three years, she told reporter Molly Walsh, speaking inside a tidy unit with a floral wreath on the front door.

She pays $500 a month, splitting the rent with her roommate, who works at a gas station and Dunkin’ Donuts. Finding similarly priced digs will be tough, she said: “I don’t know what’s going to happen. It’s a scary thing.”

Vallee, a businessman, GOP donor and former U.S. ambassador to Slovakia, has built a chain of nearly 50 Maplefields in Vermont, New York and New Hampshire.

Seven Days chronicled his battle with multiple myeloma, a blood cancer, in a February cover story.

This month Vallee applied for permission to construct the gas station and store, which the City of South Burlington has not yet granted.

The plan requires both the motel and a Gulf gas station property next door, just south of the Interstate 189 interchange.

If the plan goes ahead, Vallee would lease the property from Ernest Hoechner, who owns it. Hoechner did not return Walsh’s messages.

Members of the Vermont Army National Guard left the state last week as part of an overseas deployment. The F-16s, however, are staying.

FEEDback READER REACTION TO RECENT ARTICLES

HOBO REUNION

[Re “The Ballad of Feather River John,” June 13]: Thanks to your entertaining article on my hobo life of yesteryear, Rattlesnake Joe called (collect) from Pueblo to tell me that he, Overcoat Dan and Radio Jake would be heading east to spend the winter with us. Frisco Bob and the Hardrock Kid out in Wenatchee wondered if I could assign the royalties to some celebratory refreshment for them.

I’m not sure where this will end.

Well, the old boy’s callin’ for his air, so I’ll soon be rollin’ down the main toward that Big Rock Candy Mountain.

MORE ON MCCLAUGHRY

[Re “The Ballad of Feather River John,” June 13]: I met John McClaughry my first month as a graduate student in Washington, D.C., in September 1969.

He had posted a small card on a bulletin board at Johns Hopkins University asking if anyone wanted to help Kirby, Vt., develop a town plan. I went to John’s office downtown and found myself greeted by a gorilla statue with a lei hanging around its neck. I think John then was working on some programs connected to the Office of Economic Opportunity, a (gasp!)

Great Society program. I ended up going to Vermont, and even though we did not complete the project, I did spend a night sleeping in John’s vaunted Kirby cabin.

In 1972, John ran for lieutenant governor. He cut a TV commercial where he

CORRECTIONS

Last week’s cover story, “The Ballad of Feather River John,” contained two factual errors. The railways near John McClaughry’s childhood home in Paris, Ill., were the Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago and St. Louis Railway and the Egyptian branch of the New York Central Railroad. Also, Jim Douglas ran for U.S. Senate in 1992, not reelection for Vermont secretary of state.

Last week’s Fair Game column contained a misstatement about one of the Progressive Party’s requirements for party endorsement. In fact, the party requires any candidate seeking endorsement to forswear all corporate contributions.

placed his bare feet in a bucket of water, saying something like, “You can’t get anywhere in Vermont politics today without using a bucket of water.” It was a knockoff of what had been a famous TV ad showing Gov. Deane Davis standing in a rowboat bailing water just as he had bailed out Vermont by passing a then-unpopular sales tax.

Whether you agree with John or not, you have to admit he has been — from gorillas to buckets to riding the rails — a colorful guy. But until I read your article, I did not know just how colorful he really is.

FEEDBACK 7

The animators of Yellow Submarine [“Everywhere Man: Yellow Submarine Animator Surfaces in Burlington,” June 13] were multiple, but the inspiration that Heinz Edelmann, Peter Max and perhaps even Ron Campbell never acknowledge is the imagery of Friedrich Schröder Sonnenstern (1892-1982). The moment I saw Sonnenstern’s disturbing cartoons, on a museum wall in Prague, I knew I was staring at the inventor of the Blue Meanies and perhaps of the Yellow Submarine itself.

If you don’t believe me, google Sonnenstern’s “The State Magic Ship to the Moon Spirit Driving.” For other clear inspirations for the counterculture art of the late 1960s and early 1970s, look up the catalog of the 2015 Frankfurt exhibition “Artists and Prophets.” Until this show and

06.20.18-06.27.18

With regard to dialing 1-802 [WTF: “Why Do You Sometimes Have to Dial 802 in Vermont?” June 6], there is a little bit more to the story, which is money.

For the longest time, you could dial just five digits if you were calling in your local calling area. For example, if you were calling 863-1000 from another Burlington phone, you could just dial 3-1000, and the phone system would add the 86 for you.

This five-digit dialing worked in the ’60s and ’70s, possibly even into the ’80s. In the ’60s, you paid up to three cents a minute for those “local calls.”

To call outside your local calling area, you had to put a 1 in front of the number and paid between 25 and 75 cents a minute.

In the late ’90s, our legislature advised the Public Service Board that people were getting confused about long-distance phone calls. They recommended that people be forced to dial 1-802 when placing an in-state call outside their local calling area. Vermont was the only state to adopt that policy — and it still haunts us today.

Back in the ’90s, when all of this mattered, Verizon or one of the many locally

We’re a Finalist!

SEVENDAYSVT.COM

802 AND YOU

owned phone companies handled your local calls. A long-distance carrier such as AT&T, MCI or Sprint handled in- and outof-state long-distance ones.

In 2002, Verizon finally received approval from the Federal Communications Commission to offer in-state long-distance calling in Vermont. This allowed them to bundle long-distance calling with your local landline. One of the original plans in 2002 was $43 per month; it included your phone number and unlimited free local calls and charged 10 cents a minute for long-distance calls in Vermont or out-of-state to the rest of the country. This hit AT&T/MCI quite hard, as they were happily charging 25 to 40 cents a minute for these long-distance calls.

If Vermont were smart, it would drop the requirement that we dial the 1-802 for calls outside our local calling areas. Thanks to cellphones, the concept of a local calling area no longer matters.

[Re “On the Waterfront,” June 6]: The Burlington Electric Department offers rebates for electric bike purchases. As a BED commissioner, I support this to reduce auto use and carbon dioxide emissions. But as a year-round cyclist, I don’t believe e-bikes belong on Burlington’s or any “bike path.”

The Burlington Greenway is much more than a transportation corridor and exercise venue; it is an uncluttered, peaceful connection to the fabulous sweep of Lake Champlain and the distant Adirondacks Best Nachos — a unique, nature-connected area for Best Outdoor Dining peaceful and slow enjoyment.

Not just cyclists, but baby-carriage Best Cocktails pushers, toddlers, lovers, birders, tourists, Best Trivia runners and rollerbladers share an 11-foot width with two-way traffic. (Compare this with the bike lanes on North Avenue, which waterworksvt.com | 802.497.3525 are one-way and have no pedestrians.)

Located in the Champlain Mill, Winooski The smoothness of the new surface easily — 1 mile from Downtown Burlington! allows 30-plus miles per hour, which reemphasizes the speed limit question. While a fit cyclist on a racing bike can attain 20 8v-waterworks062018.indd 1 6/18/18 mph, most cyclists are slower. E-bikes are legally allowed a 20 mph maximum, so they will increase the average speed considerably. (Envision closing speeds approaching 40 mph at a six-foot separation.)

“Electric assist” may be considered necessary on hills around town, but the greenway is constructed largely on an abandoned railroad bed and therefore has gentle grades. My only possible exception to “no motors” is for the handicapped. This would apply only to certain vehicles, such as motorized wheelchairs, and, crucially, to legally handicapped persons. For the rest of us, the Burlington Greenway should be people-powered.

A sincere apology to the Burlington Community.

a flynn summer 30+ camps & classes— everybody belongs.

This past week, in response to a social media post from Mayor Weinberger about Burlington’s latest attempts at tackling the opiate crisis, I misdirected my long-standing frustration with the Mayor and instead, focused it toward people who struggle with opioid use in our community.

The language I used was vulgar, hurtful, and wrong.

I apologize to all of the friends, family, employees, customers, and community members that I may have offended or hurt.

My words were wrong, but my frustration with the Mayor’s actions remains. It’s an opinion I have voiced consistently, and it’s a policy on his administration's part that is leaving our city’s most vulnerable behind.

SOFIA & MAURO

Like many others, my life has also been touched by addiction. This incident has caused a tremendous amount of reflection on my part, and I sincerely hope to use this opportunity to further engage and support the recovery community, rather than alienate them.

I look forward to helping our community heal and offer my support for all of our citizens.

nd so it continues.

Leaders in the Vermont House tried to override Gov. PHIL SCOTT’s latest budget veto on Tuesday but fell short of the neces266 College Street sary two-thirds margin by four votes.

The final tally was 90 yes, 51 no. Minority Republicans maintained caucus discipline as their leadership convinced those Untitled-1 1 6/19/18 10:11 AM who’d voted in favor of the budget to switch sides and back their governor.

“The concept of the override was mentioned, and without betraying confidences, there was sort of a lighthearted comment about, ‘Maybe that would be the easiest,’” said Johnson after Tuesday’s override attempt fell short. The idea was, she added, that “maybe a couple of hall passes or a golf game or two would help [Scott] out of a box.”

down government to raise taxes. I can’t understand that.”

Ashe characterized Scott’s approach as artificially holding down property tax rates this year, which would create “a huge hole in the education fund next year. And if it’s this governor, he’ll take the same position and we’ll be in the same fight. We’re normalizing what is a completely dysfunctional way of budgeting.”

EACH TIME WE GO THROUGH THE CYCLE, TEMPERS GET SHORTER AND RHETORIC GETS SHARPER. The pro tem floated the idea that a bigger agenda is in play. “For those who want to attack public education, this is exactly what they want: a sense of perpetual crisis,” he said. “This is about blowing up the existing system and dramatically changing the way our communities send their kids to school.”

Smells like campaign season.

Caricatures and accusations fill the air, and visions of apocalypse are all around.

And, of course, each side is accusing the other of putting politics ahead of the public good and depicting itself as the staunch defender of kids, taxpayers, baseball, Mom and apple pie.

‘Nothing Short of a Prison’

How did you spend your Father’s Day? U.S. Congressman PETER WELCH (D-Vt.) went to the Mexican border to inspect immigrant detention facilities where federal authorities are holding children, separated from their mothers and fathers, in makeshift “processing centers.”

“One center is called the Icebox, because it’s very, very cold in there,” said Welch after his tour. “It’s a big warehouse building with no windows and a number of chain-link fence cages.

These kids were sitting silently, just staring ahead blankly … One of the most poignant things I saw were three boys, I assume brothers, just lying on a mattress together holding on to each other for dear life.” Tales of his encounters practically poured out of him.

He was more concise in a Sunday evening tweet: “It is nothing short of a prison,” he wrote.

“The Trump administration, in my view, is in violation of the International Treaty on Asylum,” Welch told Seven Days. “Countries that are part of that accept the responsibility of at least hearing a request by a person for asylum.”

Instead, he added, would-be immigrants are being criminally charged for seeking asylum. Words like “appalling” and “despicable” escaped his lips.

Welch was part of a seven-member delegation — all Democrats, no Republicans.

“We are going to need Republicans to change this,” he said. “That’s the reality.

I so wish I had some of my Republican colleagues with me there.”

Experiencing the heartlessness, loss and separation up close makes it harder to turn a blind eye to the inhumanity that’s being perpetrated in our name.

Funny Numbers

One of Gov. Scott’s favorite figures is $23,557.

It’s the number he cites for per-pupil school spending in Vermont — the highest in the nation by more than $2,000, and more than double the national average. It’s a key line in his argument that public school costs are out of control.

And the number comes from a reputable source: a National Education Association paper on school costs in the 2015-16 academic year.

But there’s a problem. That NEA study seems to be an outlier. Other measures put Vermont closer to the pack.

For example, the U.S. Census Bureau’s annual report for the same year has Vermont spending $17,873 per student, fifth in the nation.

What’s the difference between the two reports? The NEA is undercounting the number of Vermont students whose education is publicly funded. A passage in its report reads: “Students who attend independent schools at public expense are not included in the student enrollment count.”

That’s a lot of kids — nearly 12,000, according to the Vermont Agency of Education. Its Budget Book for fiscal year 2017 (which listed 2016 pupil counts) reported 77,078 students enrolled in public K-12 schools. But the total number of “publicly funded students,” including those in independent schools, was 88,854. That has a big impact on the NEA’s per-pupil-spending number.

The six incumbent state senators from Chittenden County — Democrats DEBBIE INGRAM, GINNY LYONS and MICHAEL SIROTKIN and Democrat/Progressives Tim Ashe, PHIL BARUTH and CHRIS PEARSON — recently announced that they will run as a slate. “We work well together,” said Ingram. “We’d like to keep doing our jobs.”

Even without a slate, the six-seat district is a daunting prospect for a wouldbe challenger. Over the last five election cycles, from 2008 through 2016, district incumbents were reelected every time they ran. A newcomer was only able to break through when an incumbent retired or sought higher office.

“It’s very challenging,” said VALERIE CARZELLO of South Burlington, a candidate in the Democratic primary. “It’s OK, but a lot of people do feel left out.” She’s suffered a case of sticker shock over the cost of campaigning. (In 2016, three Democratic candidates spent $16,000, $37,000 and $50,000 and lost in the primary.) “I’ll have to get out my glitter and poster board,” she said.

STEVE MAY, a Progressive from Richmond who’s running in the Dem primary, is more circumspect. “I can’t speak to what others do in their campaign,” he said. “It’s a name-recognition race, to be sure. I’ve been trying to raise my profile.”

ALEX FARRELL of Burlington is an energetic young Republican hoping to break the Dem/Prog duopoly. “They vote in a bloc, for the most part,” he said. “It makes sense that they would all run together. It plays into my message: We need another voice in Montpelier.”

With all the magnanimity of a heavy favorite, Ingram closed with an ode to democracy. “We welcome the democratic process,” she said. “We’re happy to have a good, healthy debate.”

That’s nice. But the truth is, the Chittenden district is profoundly undemocratic. It’s impossible — and I don’t think that’s too strong a word — for a newcomer to make up for the incumbents’ advantage in name recognition and fundraising prowess. And when the incumbents team up, it’s just the icing on their reelection cake.

This will be an issue after the 2020 Census, when legislative districts will be redrawn. Given the population trends, Chittenden is likely to add another Senate seat, perhaps even two. At that point, the district ought to be broken up into smaller, more accessible pieces. m

manager for the state education agency, is probably the state government’s most well-informed person on the matter.

And he sees real limitations in these national studies. He noted that every state has its own budget, accounting process and way of arriving at a pupil count. A national outfit may be unaware of these differences and is likely to produce inaccurate numbers, he said.

The best way to calculate per-pupil spending?

“I would take the total budget and divide it by the number of students publicly funded,” James said. For 2016, that would be $1.54 billion divided by 88,854.

By my calculation, that’s a little more than $17,000 per pupil for the school year 2015-16 — slightly below the Census’ figure and far lower than the NEA’s.

Still, Vermont is well above the Census’ national average of $11,762.

Why? Northeastern states dominate the top of the cost rankings. The Census puts New York in the top spot, Connecticut third, Vermont fifth, and Massachusetts, Rhode Island and New Hampshire in the top 10. Maine is in the teens. Vermont may be well above the national average, but it’s not out of line in the region.

Looking at cost breakdowns in the Census report, it seems clear that the regional difference is due to better staff pay and benefits on a per-pupil basis.

The Northeast pays its educators well.

Vermont lays out nearly $15,000 in salaries and benefits per student, according to the Census. Oklahoma, for contrast, pays a mere $6,041.

Of course, Oklahoma just went through a statewide teacher walkout over grossly inadequate pay, so maybe that’s not the model to emulate.

Maybe, in fact, offering educators a decent living pays off. Education Week grades the 50 states on three criteria: K-12 achievement, spending equity and preparation for careers. Vermont received the third-highest combined grade in the nation behind two other high-spending states, Massachusetts and New Jersey. And virtually all the top states in the ranking are big spenders.

You get what you pay for.

This is not to say that we don’t have issues with the cost of public education. We have an infrastructure that’s too big for current enrollment. We have demographic trends pointing to an eversmaller student body.

But the governor does his credibility no good when he cherry-picks the worst possible number to make his case.

When Christine Graham joined the nonprofit world in 1969, “The vast majority of community organizations that we have now simply didn’t exist,” she recalled.

Churches, Grange halls and fire companies had long brought Vermonters together to help one another. But it would be years before the Vermont Land Trust, the Vermont Foodbank and the Vermont Community Foundation would spring up and begin to reshape the state.

“In the old days,” said Graham, a fundraising consultant who has spent most of her career in the field, “there was a general sense that ‘nonprofit’ means nobody gets paid to work there and the budget is by definition scarcity and disaster all the time.”

In the half century since, the nonprofit world didn’t just expand; “it grew up,” said Ellen McCulloch-Lovell, who joined the Vermont Arts Council staff in 1970 and has since led or advised many more nonprofits. “There’s been a healthy professionalization of the sector.” No longer just networks of neighbors, nonprofits are often complex organizations with experienced staff and engaged boards, tackling some of the state’s most vexing problems.

And though they are, by definition, designed to make a difference — not a profit — they have become an enormous part of Vermont’s economy. According to their most recent Internal Revenue Service filings — mostly from 2015 and 2016 — the state’s 6,044 federally recognized nonprofits reported annual revenue of $6.8 billion and assets of $13.2 billion. As recently as 2012, according to the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics, the state’s 501c3s employed nearly 18 percent of Vermont’s workforce.

By some estimates, Vermont boasts more nonprofits per capita than any other state in the union.

“Nonprofits are a big part of the economy anywhere you go,” said Andy Robinson, an industry consultant who lives in Plainfield and advises clients throughout the country. “But it’s even bigger in Vermont.”

According to Graham and McCullochLovell, that’s a legacy of the demographic changes Vermont experienced in the 1970s and ’80s, when artists and idealists flooded the state. “I think people came to Vermont looking for a lifestyle,” Graham said. “They made their communities the kind of places they wanted to live in.”

In the years since, the nonprofit sector has been remarkably resilient. During the Great Recession, when for-profits and the public sector pulled back, Vermont nonprofits expanded, according to Brice McKeever, a research associate at the Washington, D.C.based Urban Institute’s Center on Nonprofits and Philanthropy. From 2005 to 2015, revenue

at Vermont nonprofits grew by nearly 48 percent, compared to 39 percent nationally.

“When giving was tough overall, Vermont was seeing pretty stable growth during that period,” McKeever said.

These public-private hybrids, funded by the wealthy and the state, have in recent de-

The breadth of Vermont’s nonprofit ecosystem is so great that it’s difficult to make generalizations about its denizens.

“The nonprofit sector is almost an artificial construct,” said Vermont Community Foundation president and CEO Dan Smith, whose organization advises philanthropists and steers $12 million a year to charitable endeavors. “You can find institutional nonprofits like colleges and universities that have very different challenges than the two-person nonprofit that’s hosting an after-school program in Sharon.”

At one end of the spectrum is the University of Vermont Medical Center, which reported $1.29 billion in revenue in its latest IRS filing, more than 7,800 employees and 21 execs making more than half a million dollars a year. (See story on page 18.) At the other are groups like the Friends of West Rutland Town Hall, which claimed $1,156 in revenue and zero employees.

In the middle of the spectrum is an array of organizations that entertain us (Weston Playhouse Theatre), inform us (Vermont Public Radio), educate us (Montshire Museum of Science), rescue us (Caledonia-Essex Area Ambulance Service), care for us (Brattleboro

Vermont has eight times as many nonprofits as it has dairy farms — and unlike the milk industry, the state’s charitable sector just keeps growing.

Vermont’s 6,044 nonprofits reported $6.8 billion in revenue and $13.2 billion in assets in their latest Internal Revenue Service filings. The federal Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates that nearly 18 percent of the state’s workers are employed by 501c3s.

Though they’re undergirded by generous tax breaks and government expenditures, these organizations rarely make the news — save for the occasional embezzlement scandal or multimillion-dollar donation.

cades become a sort of shadow government.

They educate the young, treat the ill, conserve the environment, and feed and house the poor. “Nonprofits are essentially paid, or underpaid, to do work that the government has decided to delegate,” said Lauren-Glenn Davitian, executive director of the nonprofit advocacy group Common Good Vermont.

And yet, Robinson complains, government officials rarely go to bat for the sector the way they do for the dairy, ski and captive insurance industries. “Why are nonprofits seen as the stepchild?” he asked. “Why aren’t we taken more seriously?”

Unlike Connecticut, which boasts a cabinet-level position focused on nonprofits, Vermont has no such point person. Asked who in state government was in charge of advocating for nonprofit interests, Secretary of Commerce Mike Schirling confessed, “I don’t know!”

There’s a similar lack of oversight. Vermont nonprofits must register with the Secretary of State’s Office and, to attain tax-exempt status, the IRS. (See story on page 23.) But the Vermont Attorney General’s Office employs just one lawyer charged with ensuring their compliance with state law, and the IRS rarely conducts audits.

Journalists, too, tend to give the sector short shrift, even though some of the state’s top news organizations are themselves nonprofits. Reporters cover the occasional capital campaign, organizational implosion or embezzlement case, but rarely do they provide the sustained attention — and scrutiny — that nonprofits merit, given the public dollars they receive and the tax advantages they enjoy.

Seven Days aims to address that with a new series on Vermont’s nonprofit economy called “Give and Take.” Aided by a searchable, sortable database of IRS filings that the newspaper built for the project, our reporters have combed through the Form 990s that many tax-exempt charitable organizations must submit each year. Within those filings is a wealth of information that, until recently, was not easily accessed by journalists and the public.

In the coming weeks, Seven Days will use that data to take readers inside Vermont nonprofits, with stories examining their impact, challenges, leadership, compensation, power, tactics and funding. These stories examine the “give and take” of public policies that advantage certain organizations charged with advancing the greater good.

“My experience in Vermont is that most organizations are well run, they’re functional and they’re effective. There are some that are dysfunctional and a lot that are operating below capacity,” Robinson said. “To me, that’s the headline: We have a large group of nonprofits that are, by and large, good at what they do. But they could be better.”

Tax-Deductible Pledges: Frats Are Nonprofits, Too

t’s not just animal shelters, churches and food shelves. The host of that kegger you crashed in college might have been a nonprofit.

About 20 fraternities and sororities are registered as tax-exempt organizations in Vermont, recognized by the Internal Revenue Service as social clubs for “pleasure and recreation.”

But it’s a selective bunch. Only Greek organizations that own property are formal nonprofits; the designation provides the structure to manage the property and allows the groups to skip paying federal income tax on rent or interest, said Mitch Pearl, a partner at Langrock, Sperry & Wool law firm.

At the University of Vermont, 10 fraternities and sororities own homes and are registered as nonprofits — about half the total number of Greek

organizations at the university, said Pat Brown, director of student life.

The remaining fraternities are student groups under the umbrella of a national fraternal organization but have no official standing with the state or feds, Brown said. Three UVM frats are currently suspended for bad behavior — two for several years; one in perpetuity.

Tax exemption might not seem compatible with the party-house stereotype, conceded Josh Lagerquist, a rising senior and president of Alpha Gamma Rho at UVM. But AGR, which considers itself an agricultural fraternity, is different. Lagerquist joined as a firstyear student because his frat brothers “weren’t the elitist-stereotype men, and they weren’t the idiot

In the past five years, according to the Chronicle of Philanthropy, Vermont organizations received at least 30 donations worth a million dollars or more, totaling $159 million. Among them was a trio of eight-figure contributions: Robert and Helen Larner gave $66 million to the UVM College of Medicine and $19.7 million to the university itself. Barry and Wendy Rowland contributed $20 million to Burr and Burton Academy, an independent high school in Manchester.

“God bless the wealthiest Vermonters,” said fundraising consultant Tere Gade. “They are being very generous to the nonprofit community.”

As Vermont nonprofits have “grown up,” they’ve encountered new and unexpected challenges that threaten their finances and, sometimes, their ability to carry out their missions.

The most recent of these are changes to the federal and state tax codes that nonprofit leaders fear could curb the generosity of the wealthiest donors — and deprive their organizations of critical funding.

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, which President Donald Trump signed into law last December, nearly doubled the standard deduction, from $6,350 to $12,000 for single filers and from $12,700 to $24,000 for married couples. Analysts expect that many taxpayers

alum Chris Lapierre, who noted “it’s giant and old and costs a lot to maintain.”

That same year, they got involved in a discussion that played out in the state legislature about whether the public good created by fraternities and sororities outweighed what they didn’t pay in taxes. The property tax exemption for Greek organizations was set to expire unless lawmakers voted to preserve it.

Members and alumni made their pitch in Montpelier, donning suits and ties to expound on their philanthropic efforts in the community. In the end, the frats failed to make the case: Lawmakers didn’t take action, allowing the exemption to sunset.

For AGR, the impact was substantial, according to Lagerquist.

Previously, the frat was partially exempt from property taxes and paid about $11,000 annually. Now, it pays nearly $31,000 a year in taxes, which go to the city and the state education fund. The jump “is pretty extensive,” Lagerquist said. “It hurts.”

All told, the houses pay $216,000 in taxes, according to City Assessor John Vickery. That includes the suspended frats, which are still getting billed.

Animal House guys,” he said, referring to the 1978 comedy featuring fraternal misdeeds.

Last year, he said, the group volunteered more than 500 hours for the UVM Children’s Hospital, Cochran’s Ski Area and Camp Kesem, an organization that helps kids whose parents have cancer.

The frat, which owns a stately brick building with a cupola on South Prospect Street in Burlington, actually operates under two nonprofits. Students run a 501c7, the federal designation for social clubs. They collected $153,000 in membership dues and spent $139,000 on meals and programs, according to the group’s 2016 IRS filing.

A second organization, a 501c3 run by alumni, manages the house, which is valued at $1.16 million. It serves as the fraternity’s de facto landlord.

Having separate entities protects AGR’s wealthy alumni brothers from liability in the case of an accident — or a bacchanal, said Pearl. “If the fraternity gets sued, they’re not on the hook,” he explained.

In 2016 the group, called the Alpha Gamma Rho Alumni Association, spent most of the $65,000 it earned from rent and donations on taxes and fixes to the house, according to the group’s treasurer and AGR

who used to itemize their deductions — particularly in the upper-middle class — will now opt for the standard deduction, thereby reducing their incentive to donate to nonprofits.

In Vermont, according to Tax Commissioner Kaj Samsom, the number of itemizers could drop from 28 percent to 9 percent.

“That’s a dramatic reduction,” he said. “Maybe you have less reason to give to charity now, at both the federal and state level.”

To restore the incentive to give, in February Samsom proposed the creation of a 5 percent charitable tax credit.

Unlike the current approach, which only benefits itemizers, the credit would be available to all Vermonters, and it would be worth the same — dollar for dollar — for those in the lowest tax bracket as those in the highest.

Filers who gave $100 to charity would receive a $5 state tax credit, while those who gave $100,000 would get a $5,000 credit.

“On its own, a credit is always more progressive in nature than a deduction,” Samsom said. “This will open up a tax incentive for everyone to give a little bit.”

State legislators generally supported the proposal, but the Vermont House proposed capping the credit at $500 — which is 5 percent of $10,000 in charitable donations.

Rep. Janet Ancel (D-Calais), who chairs the House Ways and Means Committee, argued that the money saved would be better spent reducing the tax burden on Social Security recipients and increasing the Earned Income Tax Credit.

“That is a tremendous boon to working families,” she said of the latter. “It’s the best anti-poverty program we have.”

The House later compromised with the Senate and settled on a $1,000 limit, meaning that those who give

hen Tom Lovett moved to the Northeast Kingdom in 1984 to teach high school English, he wasn’t expecting a six-figure salary.

“I come from a family of teachers,” he said. “I did not get into this profession for any kind of financial benefit.”

But after 34 years at St. Johnsbury Academy, including 17 as its headmaster, Lovett has become the highest paid secondary school employee in Vermont.

According to the institution’s most recent publicly available filing with the Internal Revenue Service, Lovett earned nearly $287,000 in 2016, plus $72,000 in benefits.

That’s more than twice what Vermont’s highest-paid public school principal makes, and it even exceeds the $223,000 in wages and benefits that Vermont State Colleges System Chancellor Jeb Spaulding earns to run four colleges and universities.

But St. Johnsbury Academy’s executive compensation pales in comparison to what’s offered at other tax-exempt 501c3 organizations in Vermont.

According to a Seven Days database of IRS filings, at least 60 employees of 16 Vermont nonprofits earned more than half a million dollars during the most recent year for which records are available. (Only nine were women.) The filings show that at least 81 Vermont nonprofits paid at least one staff member more than $200,000 in 2015 or 2016.

The high earners include leaders of Vermont’s top hospitals and colleges, which are designated nonprofits under federal law despite having budgets in the hundreds of millions — or even billions — of dollars. At the top of the list is Dr. John Brumsted, CEO of the University of Vermont Medical Center and its network of six regional hospitals. In 2015, Brumsted earned nearly $2.2 million, including $979,000 in base pay, $492,000 in bonuses, and hundreds of thousands in retirement contributions and payouts, and health and life insurance premiums.

Other well-compensated executives hail from smaller or more obscure institutions. The CEO of the Holstein Association USA, a Brattleboro organization devoted to the bovine breed, earned $309,000 in pay and benefits in 2016. The president

of the Woodstock Foundation, which operates Billings Farm & Museum, made $301,000. And the executive director of the Keewaydin Foundation, a summer camping organization on Lake Dunmore, earned $201,000.

Most of their peers make quite a bit less. According to Seven Days’ database of IRS filings, leaders of Vermont nonprofits earned an average of $75,312 in 2015 or 2016. Nonprofit employees earned an average wage of $23.83 an hour, or $49,566 a year, according to the advocacy group Common Good Vermont.

An older but far more comprehensive study by the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics calculated that, in 2012, Vermont nonprofit workers made an average annual wage of $44,882. That was roughly on par with the $44,540 that all Vermont workers averaged that year.

At some nonprofits, the gulf between highest- and lowest-paid employees is vast.

According to UVM Medical Center spokesman Michael Carrese, the hospital’s starting wage for cleaning and food service workers is $11.79 an hour. Brumsted’s monetary compensation — excluding benefits — of $1.47 million works out to an hourly wage of about $707 — or 60 times what a janitor at his hospital might make.

Sen. Chris Pearson (P/D-Chittenden) says he’s “outraged” by such disparities.

“This makes me angry,” he said. “I think it’s part of the gross inequality that is pervasive through our economy.”

Last August, the Green Mountain Care Board, a state health care regulator, released a list of nearly 70 Vermont hospital employees who made more than $400,000 in 2016.

“We thought it was important to provide transparency, especially to board members,” said GMCB chair Kevin Mullin. “We want the best doctors and administrators, but we don’t want to pay too much for them.”

Publication of that list prompted Pearson to introduce legislation in the Vermont Senate last winter capping compensation at nonprofits that receive more than $1 million in state funding. Such entities would be allowed to pay their employees only as much as the governor of Vermont — roughly $166,000 in 2017 — unless they received a waiver.

“I wanted to spark a conversation about public dollars that flow into our nonprofit sector,” said Pearson, whose bill died in committee. “I wanted to point out that we, as a state, actually contribute to [income inequality] as a buyer of services — for instance, in the health care arena, where Medicaid dollars are contributing to excessive salaries in our biggest health care facility.”

‘Reasonable and Not Excessive’

Many leaders in Vermont’s nonprofit community disagree with Pearson’s logic.

“It seems to me that if you want the best and the brightest to run nonprofits, they should be compensated as well as those in the private sector,” said fundraising consultant Tere Gade, who previously worked at Champlain College and Vermont Public Radio.

Among the institutions that would have been affected by Pearson’s legislation are Vermont’s independent schools, which

receive public dollars through the state’s extensive voucher system. Roughly $12.2 million of St. Johnsbury Academy’s $31.9 million annual budget comes from state sources, according to school spokesperson Dennise Casey.

In addition to Lovett, the heads of five other independent schools made more than $200,000 in wages and benefits, according to their latest filings: Vermont Academy ($268,000), Green Mountain Valley School ($260,000), Stratton Mountain School ($247,000), Burr and Burton Academy ($229,000) and the Putney School ($204,000).

At St. Johnsbury Academy, a total of seven staffers made six-figure salaries in 2016, including associate headmaster John Cummings, who earned $156,000 in pay and $46,000 in benefits. Starting teachers with no experience make $31,850, Casey said.

According to Vermont Principals’ Association executive director Jay Nichols, most public school principals earn between $60,000 and $120,000 a year. The size of the paycheck typically depends on the size of the school, the scope of a principal’s responsibilities, and the number of days per year he or she works.

“Many public school principals are very, very underpaid,” said Nichols, adding that he does not begrudge independent school headmasters who make more.

Though the IRS requires nonprofits to disclose the salaries of certain key employees, some leaders are hesitant to discuss pay. Reached by phone last month, St. Johnsbury Academy board president Jay Wright grew hostile when asked about Lovett’s compensation.

then-CEO Christine Hallquist earned $228,000 in pay and $30,000 in benefits in 2016 — big money by Vermont standards, but a fraction of the cooperative’s $82 million in revenue. (See sidebar on page 20.)

At the other end of the spectrum, a handful of Vermont nonprofits devote more than 15 percent of their annual revenue to compensating a single employee.

Those include Grounds for Health, the Greater Burlington Industrial Corporation and the Vermont Association of Hospitals and Health Systems. VAHHS, which lobbies for the state’s hospitals, paid outgoing president Beatrice Grause $349,000 of its $1.9 million in revenue in 2016, before she left for a job in New York.

Surely the most lucrative pool job in the state belongs to Charlotte Brynn, a New Zealand native and internationally ranked swimmer. When Burton Snowboards owners Jake and Donna Burton Carpenter built the Swimming Hole in 2001, they hired Brynn to manage the nonprofit aquatic center in Stowe. In 2015, the Stowe Swimmers Foundation paid her $188,000 to run the $1.2 million operation — and give swim lessons.

“My role as executive director is to oversee all the operations at the facility, including the building plant,” Brynn explained.

Until recently, the Windham Foundation was among the most generous nonprofits in the state. Founded in 1963

by Wall Street banker Dean Mathey, its mission is to preserve the rural character of the southern Vermont town of Grafton.

These days, it owns and operates the Grafton Inn and Grafton Village Cheese.

The organization, which reported $1.2 million in revenue and $35 million in assets in 2015, paid its last president and CEO, Robert Allen, $317,000 that year. According to board chair Bill Bruett, the foundation brought on the former Vermont Country Store exec to stem mounting losses in its hospitality and dairy operations. “In order to attract someone of that caliber, we had to pay that kind of money,” Bruett said.

As recently as 2011, the Windham Foundation paid its board members $22,000 a year and its chair $29,000 — a highly unusual practice among Vermont nonprofits, which rarely compensate board members at all. But as the organization’s endowment dwindled, it gradually scaled back the payments to $5,000 per board member.

“The economic reality of the foundation was that we had to look at bringing our costs way down,” said Liz Bankowski, a former board chair who succeeded Allen as president and CEO in 2016.

Bankowski did something unusual when she took the job: She demanded a

“No, that’s not a matter for public disclosure … This is none of your business,” Wright said shortly before hanging up on a Seven Days reporter.

Casey later arranged interviews with Lovett and board member Ed Zuccaro, both of whom defended the school’s compensation practices. According to Zuccaro, a local lawyer, the board benchmarks Lovett’s salary to similar institutions throughout New England. The size of St. Johnsbury Academy’s budget and student population — 680 day students and 260 boarders — makes it impossible to compare to other Vermont schools, he argued.

“I think what he’s paid is a fair, reasonable compensation,” Zuccaro said of Lovett. “It’s really a 24-7 job.”

The Keewaydin Foundation looks after summer campers, not boarding school students. But when it set executive director Pete Hare’s compensation at $201,000, according to board member Marshall Morton, “We looked at what other private school heads were making and what other camp heads were making.”

The $5 million operation includes three summer camps — two in Salisbury and one in Canada — and a year-round environmental center. Hare, whose father co-owned Keewaydin until it became a nonprofit in 1982, has directed the boys’ camp since 2001 and run the foundation since 2002.

In the latter role, Hare supervises 10 year-round employees and 225 seasonal staffers. He spends much of the off-season raising money and building the foundation’s endowment so that it can offer scholarships to those who can’t afford the eight-week price tag of $9,250.

Hare acknowledges that he’s well compensated, but he argues that the camps offer competitive pay to all their employees. “What it leads to is getting good people and getting them to stay for a while,” he said. “That’s why parents send their kids back year after year — because they know we have great staff and leadership.”

Keewaydin, St. Johnsbury Academy and other organizations profiled in this story comply with the IRS’ guidelines for setting “reasonable and not excessive” compensation for nonprofit chiefs. The agency recommends that an “independent body” — usually a board-appointed compensation committee — look at comparable salaries at similar institutions and then document the process for the sake of transparency.

A key factor is an organization’s size.

Nonprofits that pay their leaders a large percentage of their revenue may not be getting a great deal.

By that metric, the Vermont Energy Investment Corporation, the Howard Center and the Vermont Electric Cooperative are comparatively frugal.

Enrique Corredera, UVM paid eight employees more than $300,000, including Larner College of Medicine dean Frederick Morin ($560,000) and university president Thomas Sullivan ($429,000). Those figures don’t include health insurance or a 10 percent contribution to retirement accounts, capped at $26,500. Sullivan also receives free housing.

State college presidents make far less than their counterparts at private institutions. The heads of Northern Vermont University, Castleton University, Vermont Technical College and the Community College of Vermont all make between $151,000 and $175,000, plus health insurance and retirement contributions of around $10,000, according to state colleges spokesperson Tricia Coates. All receive free cars and most receive free housing.

“I had worked for 25 years without a minute off,” Coleman said. “No sabbaticals or nothing.”

According to IRS filings, the highest collegiate compensation in 2015 — excluding Coleman’s payout — went to Finney’s successor at Champlain, Donald Laackman ($522,000); Norwich University president Richard Schneider ($506,000); and Saint Michael’s College president John Neuhauser ($503,000).

Some nonprofits, including religious organizations, are not required to file disclosure forms with the IRS, so they are not included in Seven Days’ database. Among the exempt are UVM, the Vermont State Colleges System and the Vermont Student Assistance Corporation. All three voluntarily agreed to provide comparable data.

Colleges and universities are some of Vermont’s largest — and highest-compensating — nonprofits. In recent years, two of the state’s biggest payouts went to departing college leaders.

In 2014, according to an IRS filing, Champlain College doled out $1.1 million to

retiring president David Finney. According to spokesperson Stephen Mease, the college had agreed to match a post-retirement health care benefit when it hired Finney away from New York University. Upon his departure from Champlain, its board decided to pay out the estimated value of that benefit, to the tune of $700,000.

Elizabeth Coleman spent 25 years as president of Bennington College. In June 2013, she stepped down from the $500,000-a-year gig and took a $225,000 post as founding director of the college’s Center for the Advancement of Public Action, according to spokesperson Alex Dery Snider. After two years in that role, Coleman fully retired in 2015 and collected a $500,000 payment for an unused sabbatical she’d been guaranteed in her final contract as president.

Unlike Hallquist, gubernatorial candidate James Ehlers hasn’t quit his day job — as executive director of Lake Champlain International — to hit the campaign trail.

And, in an unusual arrangement, LCI also paid rent to Ehlers.

Vermont Federation of Nurses & Health Professionals, an AFT affiliate, has been locked in contentious contract negotiations with UVM Medical Center for months.

“I think they’re all overpaid,” Snell said of the hospital’s top staffers. “It really boils down to the fact that they’re willing to invest at that level but not at the bedside where the work is really getting done.”

Asked what would happen if Sen. Pearson’s compensation-limiting legislation became law, Emery-Ginn did not mince words.

“I think it would cause us to lose a lot of our senior team,” she said. “I don’t think we’d be able to get anyone of that caliber to replace them. I think it would decimate us.”

At least one nonprofit hospital has reined in its executive compensation.

The Brattleboro Retreat, which provides mental health and addiction services, paid then-president and CEO Robert Simpson $508,000 in overall compensation in 2014 and $494,000 the next year. His successor, Louis Josephson, made just $402,000 in 2016. (On his way out the door that year, Simpson took another $150,000 in pay and bonuses.)

According to board chair Elizabeth Catlin, Josephson subsequently recommended a salary freeze for himself and his executive team in 2017 and 2018. The hospital was facing serious financial pressures, she explained, and the new CEO felt that “accountability starts at the top.”

“This is not a group that is passing the buck,” Catlin said of the Retreat’s top administrators. “In a time of financial challenge, they’re not looking to line their own pockets at the expense of the rest of the hospital.” m

founded the annual Southern Vermont Dance Festival in 2013, to help reinvigorate the local economy in the aftermath of Tropical Storm Irene.

“My MO is to turn tragedy into action,” she said.

The festival, which Siegel said costs $35,000 to $50,000 a year to produce, is so small that it does not have its own corporate status. For much of its existence, it relied on the nonprofit Downtown Brattleboro Alliance to serve as its fiscal agent. In January, the festival moved to the Arts Council of Windham County.

Siegel, who describes herself as “very low-income,” makes most of her money teaching dance and political classes throughout the year. But, she said, “I do very much consider my occupation directing the dance festival, even though I don’t draw a salary.” m

Until recently, he said, he lived in the house with his children and now-estranged wife. For the past 15 years, he has leased the commercial space to LCI to use as its headquarters. In 2016, the organization paid Ehlers $15,750 in rent, according to IRS records.

VSAC, which provides student loans to Vermonters, pays president and CEO Scott Giles $257,000 and provides $59,000 in benefits, according to the IRS filing of a related organization.

Also excluded from the IRS data is Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Vermont. Though registered with the state as a nonprofit, it and other such health insurance companies are not designated 501cs by the federal government. But according to a filing with the state Department of Financial Regulation, its CEO, Don George, made $614,000 in pay and $22,000 in benefits in 2016.

The Vermont nonprofits that dole out the most are hospitals, which account for 12 of the 16 institutions that paid at least one employee half a million dollars or more in 2015 or 2016. Twenty-one doctors and administrators at the UVM Medical Center and its associated physicians’ group earned that much, including general counsel Spencer Knapp ($677,000) and lobbyist Theresa Alberghini Dipalma ($524,000).

According to Scottie Emery-Ginn, who chairs the UVM Health Network’s board, CEO Brumsted’s base pay is at the 50th percentile of comparable academic hospitals.

The board sets financial, operational and quality goals for him. Recent goals, according to Carrese, included integrating the culture at the network’s hospitals and achieving a net operating margin of 4 percent.

“If he gets a home run, his compensation can go up to the 65th percentile for total compensation,” Emery-Ginn explained. Brumsted uses a similar system to set pay for the 18 hospital chiefs and administrators who report directly to him.

“I do believe we’re paying John fairly for the job he does,” Emery-Ginn said.

The federal tax agency also designates 501c1s and 501c2s, all the way up to 501c29s, depending on the purpose of the organization. For instance, 501c4s can do political lobbying. Others are more obscure. A 501c21 is a black-lung benefit trust. Cemetery companies fall under 501c13.

I called GEMS “educational” — close enough for government work, I figured.

I wrote a mission statement in which I promised to “build confidence, promote and develop leadership skills, and empower young women to become active

provide what we lacked: a formal structure to seek donations and grant money; a way to legally pay my coleader; and, of course, legitimacy.

I was 22 years old; what I didn’t know, I figured I could google.

It was my first foray into the nonprofit sector — a world with its own rules for taxation, fundraising and oversight. GEMS would be joining the more than 6,000 nonprofits across Vermont, from big organizations like hospitals and churches to tiny local causes like mine.

Though different in many ways, we all shared one quality: For-profit corporations aim to generate profit, but nonprofits must make their central mission one of public good. In exchange, the U.S. government exempts 501cs, as they’re called, from paying federal income taxes.

In my do-it-yourself case — no lawyer involved — it took four months, two dozen forms, a handful of phone calls to accountants and nonprofit directors, and $400 in filing fees to become a 501c3.

Most nonprofits fall into this category of groups established “for purposes that are religious, educational, charitable, scientific, literary, testing for public

contributing members and changemakers within their communities.”

To qualify as a nonprofit, GEMS also needed a board of directors. I convinced three women much older than I — a marathon-running emergency room nurse, a guidance counselor and a police-officerturned-prosecutor — to serve.

They helped me wade through the rules and regs: In Vermont, 501c3s are exempt from paying state income tax, sales tax and property tax, as long as the property is used by and benefits the public.

“The quid pro quo is [that nonprofits] need to serve the public at large,” explained Burlington-based Tapia, who specializes in nonprofit accounting.

It costs $125 to become incorporated as a Vermont nonprofit. Registrants pick a name for their organization and file as a trust, an unincorporated association or, in the vast majority of cases, as a nonprofit corporation — a designation that protects board members from financial liability, Tapia said.

State incorporation allows entities to set up a bank account and allows potential donors to investigate to “see if it’s legit,” said Ashley Sherman, who works in the corporations division of the Vermont Secretary of State’s Office.

A federal filing is required to get the most important benefit: the right to solicit tax-deductible donations. For some nonprofits, that means filling out an IRS form called the 1023. It features 28 pages of check boxes and bureaucratic jargon, plus a host of additional forms: articles of organization, bylaws, financial documents, a statement of where the assets will go if the entity is dissolved and a description of its purposes “in specific, easily understood terms.”

Fortunately, GEMS didn’t have to go through all that. Since our organization had less than $250,000 in assets and anticipated an annual income of less than $50,000 in each of the following three years, we qualified to file a 1023EZ. That simpler, streamlined 2.5-page form was introduced in 2014 to reduce the IRS backlog of 501c3 applications, according to Tapia.

The form asked me for a list of board members and an employer identification number — which required a separate application to the IRS. The 1023-EZ doesn’t

hen someone asks certified public accountant Wallace Tapia how to properly set up a nonprofit organization, he always recommends hiring an attorney to stay on the right side of the Internal Revenue Service.

But I didn’t know that in 2015.

For three summers, I had been running a leadership and mentoring program for middle school girls in Randolph, my hometown. We called ourselves GEMS: Girls Empowered, Motivated, Strengthened. We had our agenda nailed: guest speakers, treks downtown for community service, group discussions, games of capture the flag and crafts such as tie-dyeing.

What had started as a pet project during college vacations had grown.

People began to offer donations; parents interested in signing up their daughters wanted some assurance that we were legal. I started to feel a twinge of unease that my financial documentation was limited to an Excel spreadsheet on my laptop and copies of grant letters from funders.

501c3andMe « P.23 ask for bylaws or other documents, but I had to promise, under penalty of perjury, that I had all of those things.

A web search turned up a bylaws template I could use. The board members and I met in a public library to do some soul-searching about the nonprofit’s rules of the road. Should board members have to donate? Would the board follow Robert’s Rules of Order? Would there be term limits? We hashed out the tenure and duties of board members, the board election process, and our decisionmaking protocols. We wound up with a

three-page document.

In the end, the figure-it-out-as-you-go approach served us well. It usually takes four to six weeks for the IRS to acknowledge the 1023-EZ, as opposed to four to six months for the full form, according to Tapia. On September 9, 2016, an email arrived from the IRS with good news for GEMS. “We’re pleased to tell you we determined you’re exempt from federal income tax under Internal Revenue Code (IRC) Section 501c3,” it read. The process had taken less than two weeks.

Seven Days staff writer Katie Jickling (back row, far left) with girls in the GEMS program

But even if GEMS had filed flawed applications, neither the feds nor the state would likely have noticed, said Tapia.

Vermont merely requires a biennial report updating board members and officers. The Secretary of State’s Office investigates — and could eventually revoke the state recognition — only if a nonprofit fails to send its paperwork and the required $20 fee, according to Sherman. An

additional registration is required if the organization plans to pay a nonemployee or an outside agency to fundraise.

As for the feds, Tapia said he’s only seen the IRS audit organizations half a dozen times in the last 25 years.

Lauren-Glenn Davitian is the founder of Common Good Vermont, an organization that advocates and provides resources for nonprofits across the state.

She said starting a nonprofit is not always advisable.

“You have to have made sure it’s absolutely necessary,” said Davitian, noting that teaming up with an umbrella or partnership organization can be a better way to “get the work done.”

The bureaucracy of operating an organization is “not about doing the thing you’re in love with; it’s about running a business,” she said.

Davitian has a point; grant writing and tax forms aren’t as exciting as leading discussions about class and race with 12-year-olds, our knees dirt-stained from hide-and-seek tag.

But in the case of GEMS, the bureaucracy paid off. We opened a bank account and, in late 2016, had something to put in it: a $20,000 grant from the Jack and Dorothy Byrne Foundation. Last year, when my day job got too demanding, the board hired a part-time executive director to replace me.

I still work the summer session, my coworkers and I now actually get paid, and GEMS is going — and growing — strong. m Contact: katie@sevendaysvt.com

Nonprofit Margins « P.17 more than $20,000 per year would still only receive a $1,000 tax credit. Samsom and his boss, Gov. Phil Scott, opposed the cap but said they could live with it.

The nonprofit community has not been so sanguine. In an April letter to legislators, industry leaders said the

IF YOU AS A NONPROFIT ARE COMPETING WITH ANOTHER NONPROFIT,

YOU’RE MAKING A HORRENDOUS MISTAKE. BI L L SCHUBART

‘The Multimillion Dollar Question’

Changes to the tax code aren’t the only existential threat nonprofits face. As Seven Days will further explore in its “Give and Take” series, the very success of the sector has brought about new challenges, from financing to governance.

A decline in volunteerism has forced some nonprofits to hire more staff, which increases costs and requires more fundraising. Even public libraries have to consider capital campaigns, consultants and development budgets.

“Funding is so tight that it gets in the way of doing your mission,” said Robinson, the Plainfield consultant, “because you have to spend so much time on fundraising, versus trying to do what you’re in business to do.”

The proliferation of nonprofits has led to overlap and duplication. Some nonprofit leaders quietly wonder whether there are too many organizations serving the homeless and the hungry — each competing for donors and dollars.

“Sometimes it gets turfy, and sometimes it gets territorial,” Robinson said.

Bill Schubart, who has chaired 10 Vermont boards and served on a few more, said he has no patience for sharpelbowed nonprofit leaders. He believes they should instead be looking for ways to collaborate with one another.

“Competition is terrific in the business sector. It has absolutely no place in the not-for-profit sector,” he said. “If you as a nonprofit are competing with another nonprofit, you’re making a horrendous mistake.”

Traditional sources of funding are also in flux. Younger donors are more inclined to donate directly to a cause — sometimes through an online GoFundMe campaign — than they are to organizations that aggregate contributions.

“There’s a higher degree of skepticism toward institutions,” said Smith, the Vermont Community Foundation chief.

That’s resulted in declining revenue at organizations such as the United Way of Northwest Vermont, which last month announced it would no longer fund many nonprofits that had long relied on its grants.

Individual donors aren’t the only ones whose habits are changing. In recent years, government austerity has threatened funding for many Vermont institutions.

When Mark Redmond took over Spectrum Youth & Family Services in 2003, 97 percent of the Burlington organization’s budget came from state and federal coffers. These days, only 40 percent does. Private donors have more than made up the difference, upping their support from 2 percent of Spectrum’s budget to 52 percent.

“So we’re all doing bake sales and sleep-outs and runs and walks, not only

to do something new and different but to backfill the money the state isn’t giving,” Redmond said.

Even as the government provides less money to nonprofits, it’s expecting more from them.

“When the public sector steps away from adequately addressing needs, where does the need fall? It often falls to the private, nonprofit sector,” said Gaye Symington, president of the High Meadows Fund. “So whether it’s health care or opiates or land conservation or water quality or clean energy, the needs don’t go away just because the public funding is not adequate.”

Asked whether he feels like an unfunded arm of the government, Redmond said, “That’s the multimillion-dollar question! What is the government’s responsibility, and what is philanthropy’s responsibility?”

Graham, the longtime fundraising consultant, looks at the situation differently. It’s not that the public and for-profit sectors have abdicated their responsibilities, she argues. It’s that nonprofits “are doing the work that just wasn’t done before.”

“When I was younger, there was no such thing as a senior center. There was no such thing as a food shelf. There was no such thing as an arts organization,” she said. “I think our expectations of society and what society can take care of have expanded a great deal. It’s not a transfer of responsibilities. It’s an expectation that we can do more than we used to do.” m Contact: paul@sevendaysvt.com Digital editor Andrea Suozzo compiled data for this story; staff writer Mark Davis contributed reporting.

move would “fundamentally change the nature of charitable giving in Vermont” and “hurt our communities.”

University of Vermont Foundation president and CEO Shane Jacobson penned the letter. He said that roughly 100 Vermonters donate more than $20,000 a year to the university — and some are now reconsidering doing so.

“The message [legislators] are sending to those who are generous is that gifts above that cap are not wanted, or at least not valued at that level,” Jacobson said.

“That’s the wrong message to give to the donor community.”

The ramifications could be felt even at the smallest nonprofits, warned John Killacky, the outgoing executive director

and CEO of the Flynn Center for the Performing Arts. “Let’s not destabilize the food banks right now,” he said. “Let’s not destabilize the shelters.”

Sen. Ann Cummings (D-Washington), Ancel’s counterpart on the Senate Finance Committee, said she understands the anxiety and thinks it’s “reasonable.” But she cautions that it’s too soon to say how all the adjustments to the federal and state tax codes could affect philanthropic giving.

“There will be a change in behavior, in all probability,” Cummings said. “Which way it’ll go for the charities we don’t know.

A year from now, we’ll have a better idea.”

28 LIFE LINES

SEVEN DAYS

06.20.18-06.27.18

SEVENDAYSVT.COM

1950-2018, BURLINGTON John Powers Cain, age 68, passed away on June 16, 2018, at home and surrounded by his loving family, after a long and courageous battle with various illnesses.

John was born on May 19, 1950, in Burlington, Vt., the first of seven children born to L. John Cain and Paulina P. Cain. John married his high school sweetheart, Betsy (Clavelle), in 1973, and they lived a happy life together filled with love.

John was a loving father of two children, Sean and Rebekah; a great father-inlaw to Yvonne (Leung) and Chris Louis; and an incredible grandfather to Reb and Chris’ sons, Aiden Demetri and his namesake, Elijah John.

John grew up in Burlington and attended Rice High School, where he met Betsy. In 1973, John graduated from the University of Vermont. After college, John and Betsy moved to Boston, where they shared a small studio apartment right in the city. After growing tired of the bustle of the city, they moved across the country to Mill Valley in the San Francisco Bay Area. There, John and Betsy shared an apartment with their close friend Arty LaVigne, where they lived life to the fullest and enjoyed the “Summer of Love” spirit and the burgeoning hippie and counterculture movements.

John was then accepted into the University of Notre Dame Law School, where he

OBITUARIES, VOWS, CELEBRATIONS

received his law degree and witnessed an Irish National Championship in football and became a Fighting Irish for life.

John and Betsy then moved back to the Burlington area, where he started a very successful career as an attorney. John viewed his profession as not only a career but a life calling, and he went out of his way to assist others who were less fortunate or in need. John eventually opened his own practice with three close friends, later becoming a partner at McCormick, Fitzpatrick, Kasper and Burchard, P.C. John viewed his colleagues as a second family and loved spending time with his coworkers inside and outside of work. Even after John retired in 2010, he still acted as a consultant to his old firm until days before his passing.

John left a lasting impression on all the lives that he touched. He was a man of great morals and always did everything the right way. He wanted to be able to look back and not have any regrets, knowing that he made the right decisions, treated people as they should be treated and carried himself in a manner that he would be proud of. When discussing his life shortly before he passed, neither John nor his immediate family could think of anything that he would have done differently.

He was an inspiration and a role model to his family and many others, guiding those who surrounded him through difficult times and making everyone around him a better person. John will also be remembered by all for his sense of humor, quick wit, wisdom and ability to find a nickname for everyone he met.

John dealt with serious illnesses for 18 years. There were many occasions during this time when we thought we would lose John, but through his strength and determination, he fought through and persevered.

Through all of these hard times, John never ever complained. He always had a positive outlook, caring more

about how those around him were doing than what he was going through. His strength, bravery, courageousness and selflessness were an inspiration to all and added a perspective to a world where too many worry about things that are not truly important.

Most importantly, John’s legacy is defined by his commitment to his family.

He would do anything for his family and always put them first in his life. He was an incredible husband to his “B.” Betsy was the love of his life and also his best friend. They embarked on many adventures and travels together, where it didn’t matter what they were doing or where they were going as long as they had each other. He was the best father Sean and Reb could ever have asked for. He guided them through life, teaching lessons, morals and the way to treat other people. He spent countless hours taking Sean to hockey tournaments and Reb to horseback riding competitions, always providing support and cheering them on. In 2016, Reb gave birth to Aiden, and John became a grandfather. John stated he had been waiting his whole life for this moment.

He was so dedicated to the role of grandfather that he would take the Megabus from Burlington to Boston by himself each week to provide “Groover’s Babysitting Services.” In 2017, Reb gave birth to another baby boy, Elijah John.

One of John’s greatest joys was spending time with his grandsons. Although John’s life ended too early, his legacy and love will always live on with his family.

John is survived by his immediate family and five brothers and sisters and their families: Betsy Cain; Sean and Yvonne Cain; Rebekah, Chris, Aiden and Elijah Louis; Dr. Paul Cain (Kathryn Cain); Dan Cain (Joan Lyons); Larry Cain (Cara Cain); Connie Ramsey (Jack Ramsey); and Elizabeth Steinman (Paul Steinman). John is predeceased by his beloved mother and father, Paulina

and L. John Cain, and his brother Stephen Cain.

Visiting hours will be from 4 to 7 p.m. on Friday, June 22, at LaVigne Funeral Home and Cremation Service. The family will hold an intimate Celebration of Life at Betsy’s family camp (Camp Overlake, 618 E. Lakeshore Dr., Colchester, VT) from 2 to 5 p.m. on Saturday, June 23.

Dorothy Carpenter

1926-2018, BURLINGTON Dorothy Frazer Carpenter was born June 17, 1926, in Rockville Center, N.Y., and grew up in Long Beach, N.Y., a short walk from the white sand beach and ocean of the south shore of Long Island. She graduated from the Long Beach public schools and the University of Vermont. She was a member of several honor societies and an editor of the UVM Cynic, and she did graduate work at the University of South Carolina.

In September of 1947, Dotsy (or Duck, as she was called by many friends) married Torrey Carpenter. They lived and raised their children in Burlington, for many years on Cliff Street before moving to her present home on South Prospect Street.

In 1965, Dotsy began

teaching home economics at Edmunds Middle School, retiring in 1988. She was active in the Burlington Education Association. Over the years, in addition to teaching and raising a family, she served on the boards of the Elder Education Association, Burlington Meals on Wheels and the UVM Alumnae Association. She was a longtime Meals on Wheels driver and route coordinator.

Dotsy was a member of the College Street Congregational Church for more than 70 years and a former deacon and church clerk. She chaired and cochaired many auctions and flea markets at the church.

There was always a supply of merchandise for those sales.

“Stuff happens” was her flea market motto.

Dot was also a founding member of the Stockettes, a women’s stock club that received national publicity in the early 1990s. The club was founded on the premise that one can never be too rich or too thin. That goal was never reached. In its stead was 24 years of the richness of friendship and laughter, which was far more important.

Dotsy was enthusiastic about many things. She loved to travel, especially the European rented house trips with the other Carpenters, John and Connie. She loved to cook, read, go antiquing, garden, play duplicate bridge, walk the beach and swim in the ocean — which she did for her 90th birthday. Dotsy loved to sit on the deck of her camp, “Ben View,” on Lake Carmi or at Cape Cod; she especially loved the times when all four children, their spouses, the five grandchildren and the granddogs were there for a summer reunion. Dorothy, as her father called her, was very proud of her Irish heritage and being “first generation.” But most of all she cherished her family and friends. “Life has been good to me” was an oft-repeated phrase. Even as she grew older, she made many new friends through bridge, church and her exercise class. “Friendship is a precious gift. Cherish all your

friends,” she would say. She hopes her last journey will unite her with Torrey, Sis and so many dear friends.

Dotsy died on June 15, 2018, with loving care and support from the wonderful staff and volunteers of the VNA Respite House.

She leaves behind her four children and their families: Sarah Carpenter and Torrey Barrows of Burlington; Case and Judy (Deforge) Carpenter of Burlington; Rink, Colleen (Cannon), Sarah and Frazer Carpenter of Lake Stevens, Wash.; and Sam, Sharon (O’Shea), Brian and Gwen Carpenter of Westport, Conn. Aunt Duck had eight nieces and nephews and their families, whom she thoroughly enjoyed.

Dot’s husband, Torrey; her parents, Richard and Sarah Frazer; and her sister Marion Pepper predeceased her.

There will be a celebration of Dotsy’s life on Monday, July 23, 2:30 p.m., at the College Street Congregational Church in Burlington. A reception will follow at the Burlington Country Club. Donations in her memory can be given to the College Street Congregational Church, 265 College St., Burlington, VT 05401, or the Fletcher Free Library, 235 College St., Burlington, VT 05401.

becoming rector in 1985 of Trinity Church, Potsdam, N.Y. In retirement, he assisted at parishes in northern New York as part of the Regional Ministry of St. Lawrence County. In 2002, he and his wife moved to Burlington, where he served as supply clergy in parishes throughout northern New York and Vermont. His concern for the marginalized found new outlets as a volunteer with the Kairos Prison Ministry and cofounder of Camp Agape Vermont, a summer camp for children who have an incarcerated parent. He also volunteered through the Vermont Department of Corrections and Burlington Community Justice Center as a COSA team member helping prisoners reintegrate into the community.

He is survived by his wife; two daughters, Edith L. Quinby (Paul Cochran) and Carol Q. Hunter (Richard); and three grandchildren, Quinby, Laura and Nathan Hunter.

Funeral services will be at 4 p.m. on June 30, 2018, at St. Paul’s Episcopal Cathedral in Burlington.

There will be no calling hours. Memorials may be given to Camp Agape Vermont, P.O. Box 8283, Essex, VT 05451-8283.

on Crooked Lake where he grew up, and later on small lakes around Rutland and Addison counties with his children and husband. He also had a lifelong battle with anxiety and would furiously glue broken furniture on the eve of holiday meals and other stressful occasions. He was very fortunate to be able to get most of his anxiety under control in the last few years with carefully prescribed medication.

Greg felt things deeply and intensely. He was a charismatic, life-affirming person who brought tremendous passion to whatever he was doing and fostered deep connections between people. This legacy lives on in his family members and in the countless friendships that he cultivated and cherished over the years.

Gregory affected many lives deeply and will be dearly missed by the many who loved him. A memorial service is planned for July 28 at 3 p.m. at the Congregational Church in Pittsford. It will include music, a potluck meal, and a chance to share Greg stories with friends and family.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Greg Sharrow Fund at the Vermont Folklife Center, 88 Main St., Middlebury, VT 05753 and at vermontfolklifecenter.org.

speak in unison, others in harmony and still others in dissonance. The truth lies less in any individual voice than in this complex intermingling of these many voices simultaneously speaking together.”

This new way of thinking also came into play in his work with the many New American communities around the state that welcomed him into their lives to help tell their stories.

In 2004, Greg founded the Discovering Community Summer Institute for Educators, emphasizing place-based education and service learning and teaching teachers to incorporate ethnographic field research into their classrooms using audio, video and photography. During this time, Greg also published several books and numerous articles on experiential learning.

Later in his career, he began exploring themes related to memory and experience as his mother, whom he had brought to Vermont in 2002 at the age of 84, experienced progressive dementia.

Greg’s passion for unusual everyday objects and history found a match in Bob, and together they turned their home into a living museum. Greg explaining the philosophy behind their kitchen: “You have one vintage toaster; it’s just a toaster. You have seven vintage toasters, and all of a sudden you have the history of industrial design.”

Although not actively religious, Greg was always fascinated with religious traditions and paraphernalia and for each holiday had foods and decorations: For Christmas, he filled the house with Nativity scenes of all sizes and ages (57 at last count) and made an Advent wreath with pink and purple candles and a plum pudding with a coin baked in. For Easter, he made a lamb-shaped cake with white frosting and coconut flakes for wool and Ukrainian egg-decorating kits.

Greg’s life was punctuated with geraniums, Siamese cats, brook walks and going tubing with his children, baking breads and pies, making jam, and near-obsessive genealogy research. Greg had a great love for his old rowboat, which he used to hunt turtles (not to kill them but to observe their antics)

Greg has described his experience of growing up in rural Indiana in the ’50s and ’60s as one in which “being gay simply wasn’t an option.” He lived the first half of his life as a heterosexual man, marrying a woman for whom he professed love and the utmost respect until he died and with whom he had two children. However, over time Greg continued to wrestle with his sexuality.

In the summer of 1996, Greg met Bob, who was also going through the process of coming out of the closet and redefining his family life. In addition to being gay, they both admitted that they had never met anyone quite like each other. They have been practically inseparable for the past 22 years. They eventually purchased Bob’s grandparents’ house in Pittsford, where they have made a home for themselves and their collective four daughters. As they settled into the Pittsford neighborhood, Greg began creating another version of the gardens of his childhood, turning the small front yard into a teeming jungle of phlox, iris, yucca, flowering vines, grape vines, and daylilies.

Bob and Greg celebrated their civil union in 2001, following the passage of the Vermont Civil Union Law. They were married officially in 2010 at the Pittsford Congregational Church in the presence of their children, mothers, and many friends and family.

From 2000 to 2002, Greg partnered with a videographer to create a documentary focusing on the presentday Abenaki culture in Vermont. This period marked a transition for him in his work, shifting from a historical perspective focused on oral history to seeing his work as a powerful tool for understanding the present.

His evolving belief was that each individual is the expert in their own experience and that, from that point of view, we can deepen our understanding of collective histories and communities. Greg described this approach to oral history as listening to “a chorus in which some voices

1950-2018, PITTSFORD After a 12-month struggle with multiple myeloma, a form of bone marrow cancer, Gregory Lew Sharrow of Pittsford, Vt., passed away in the early morning of April 2, just after his 68th birthday. He is survived by his husband, Robert Hooker, and their close friend and caregiver Brian Moulton, both of Pittsford; daughters Madeline Sharrow

College in Ohio, where he majored in East Asian studies, spending his junior year living abroad in Taiwan and Japan. His interest in Japanese culture persisted, and he was able to speak some Japanese until the end of his life.

After finishing college, Greg came to Vermont to visit his close college friends Jim and Dianne Sardonis in Randolph in 1974. He was so charmed by the landscape and the people that he stayed, making his home in Braintree. He married Jessica Wright in 1979 in Snowsville, a village within the town of Braintree, arriving at the small church in a horse-drawn carriage. They were married for 19 years and had two daughters, Madeline and Olivia.

Earning a master’s degree in education from the University of Vermont in 1979, he taught at the Braintree Elementary school for a number of years, receiving the Outstanding Teacher of the Year Award in 1983.

While living in Braintree, he also served as chair of the Braintree School Board and as a longtime trustee of the Braintree Historical Society.

In the early 1980s, Greg connected with the newly founded Vermont Folklife Center in Middlebury. With encouragement from the founding director, Dr. Jane Beck, Greg went on to receive a PhD in folklore and folklife from the University of Pennsylvania, during which time his older daughter, Madeline, was born (1984).

Upon completion of his course work in 1987, he was appointed a Mellon Graduate Fellowship for the academic year 1987-88 while he returned to Vermont and completed the fieldwork for his thesis.

In 1988, the same year his second daughter, Olivia, was born, Greg joined the full-time staff at the Folklife Center as director of education and fieldwork, where he set out on a 30-year adventure exploring the small towns and back roads as well as the bigger cities and numerous schools of Vermont, talking to and listening to literally thousands of Vermonters along the way. His vast collection of recorded interviews lives on in the Folklife Center archive.

In 1991, Greg helped establish the Vermont Traditional Arts Apprenticeship

of Northfield and Olivia Sharrow of Burlington; stepdaughters Elizabeth Henry-Hooker and Siobhan Henry-Hooker (m. Dave Tomlinson), granddaughter Slade Tomlinson and stepgrandsons Jack and Taige Tomlinson, all of Burlington; his former wife, Jessica Wright, of Braintree; brotherin-law George Hooker (m.

Cheryl) of Rutland; and several nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his parents of Indiana and Rutland and his brother Douglas of Michigan.

The last 12 months of Greg’s life were increasingly challenging as he struggled with the cancer, but no one could have asked for a better care team than Bob and Brian. Greg was never alone and was lovingly doted upon throughout it all. As he neared the end, the wonderful assistance of the staff of VNA & Hospice of the Southwest Region was professionally and tenderly provided to Greg and his family.

Gregory was born in Angola, Ind., on March 26, 1950, to parents Marjory and Earl Sharrow. He liked to describe his childhood environment as growing up in a garden. His mother was an avid gardener, a painter, and a collector of interesting and unusual objects. The interior and exterior of the houses in which they lived were always filled with bright colors, beautiful flowers and an array of unusual furniture, much of it repurposed, repainted and, in some cases, even reconstructed by Marjory.

His family also had a cottage on Crooked Lake in Angola, which was the historic site of his greatgrandparent’s farm called Kidney Landing. His childhood summers centered on the lake, and his love of being on and in the water persisted throughout his whole life. Greg always had a passion for history, family stories and old things. At the age of 8, Greg opened “The Little Museum” in the basement of his parents’ house, and he and his mother, with whom he shared this passion, would go collecting for it. There are to this day a few small items still labeled “The Little Museum” at Greg and Bob’s home in Pittsford.

After graduation from Angola High School in 1968, Greg attended Oberlin

Burlington Couple Makes a Living With Self-Published Fantasy B Y S A RA TA B I N

T

Trade-published authors generally keep less than 15 percent of book sales.

Mancuso and Crawford cowrote the couple’s first successful novel, Infernal Magic. Mancuso has taken the lead on subsequent books and co-authored the Dark Fae FBI series with crime author Alex Rivers.

Mancuso and Crawford started writing urban fantasy because of a preference for the genre — Crawford is a lifelong fantasy fan — but they have plans to branch out. Crawford is currently writing a techno-thriller, while Mancuso plans to start a young-adult fantasy romance series.

The plots of C.N. Crawford novels fit a formula, said Mancuso, who believes sticking to certain genre expectations is necessary for obtaining wide readership. She said the couple’s first book, C H RI S T I N E one that delved into colonial history and featured a male lead, was a marketplace failure. Since then, the couple has stuck to the basics of the urban fantasy genre — heroines in their mid-twenties who find magic and romance while living in real-world cities.

“Study the genre you want to write in, and don’t presume that you are going to turn the genre on its head,” Mancuso advised anyone considering a career in self-publishing.

Editing is another up-front expense: They hire a copyeditor and a proofreader for each book.

Although publishing quickly is critical to success in the independent world, Mancuso and Crawford said they aim to match the quality of trade-published books, which receive months of editing.

One method they employ to keep reader interest high is stockpiling books in a series as they write, then releasing all of the titles within a few weeks, making binge-reads possible.

The couple normally publishes every other month. Their latest title came out June 12, and they plan to release a new series in August.

Mancuso and Crawford’s 4-year-old son is too young to read his parents’ work or understand the concept of e-books, but he still gets a taste of the genre during his bedtime routine.

“At night, all the stories I tell him are basically children’s versions of urban fantasy stories; there’s always a female heroine, because I want him to grow up thinking women are badass heroes,” said Mancuso. “I tried telling him ‘Snow White,’ and I was like, This story is awful. It’s about this older woman who is jealous of the appearance of a younger woman, so I changed them into sword fighters.”

The women became more like C.N. Crawford’s character Cassandra (Agent of Enchantment), who keeps busy by fighting maniacal murderers and solving magical mysteries.

BOOKS

Nick Crawford and Christine Mancuso

Working exclusively through Amazon, the couple has sold 125,300 e-books, they said; C.N. Crawford is currently ranked No. 24 for authors in Kindle’s horror category. They also have more than 121,300,000 page reads on the subscription service Kindle Unlimited, which comprises 65 to 70 percent of their income, according to Mancuso.

Amazon allots $20 million per year to Kindle Unlimited, then splits that money among authors based on page views.

Mancuso said some authors find ways to pad their books and scam the system, but such foul play has not hindered the couple’s ability to support themselves.

“Your chances of earning a livable wage while being traditionally published are minimal,” Mancuso said. Her work style is also suited to selfpublishing: “I like pubM AN C U S O lishing fast; I think I would go crazy if I had to work on a book for a whole year.”

But she admitted that self-publishing is only becoming tougher as more authors take that route and start putting out books as quickly as they can. So far, C.N Crawford has published 19 books, grouped within five series.

Self-publishing also means that Mancuso and Crawford are responsible for their own marketing. They pay for Facebook ads and cooperate with other authors to cross-promote one another’s work. Mancuso spends time interacting with fans on Facebook, which she said is one way to make writing a less isolating career.

Sara Lynn Block, a Facebook fan of C.N Crawford who currently lives in Tennessee, told Seven Days she reads many self-published books that Kindle recommends to her based on her preferred genre. Block has written three books of her own, she added, which she is considering self-publishing.

Mancuso and Crawford hire artists to create the brooding images of weaponwielding witches on their covers, as well as a designer for their cover font.

Mancuso said the cover, blurb and first chapter of a book are what readers focus on when deciding whether to purchase it.

wo years ago, Christine Mancuso was a school psychologist and her husband, Nick Crawford, was a biology researcher at the University of Pennsylvania. Now they work from home, writing books about boot-clad young women who discover magical powers, fight otherworldly monsters and swoon before “disturbingly” seductive demons.

The couple has been self-publishing urban fantasy novels under the collective pen name C.N. Crawford since 2014. Last summer, after paying off the last of Mancuso’s student loans, they finally quit their day jobs and moved to Vermont, where Crawford grew up, to write full time. They spoke with Seven Days at their home in downtown Burlington, in front of a bookshelf sporting Brian Jacques’ Redwall novels and stories about witches.

Self-publishing wasn’t always the couple’s plan. Mancuso originally wanted to seek out an agent and follow a traditional publishing path.

But Crawford, inspired by the success of self-published sci-fi writer Hugh Howey, convinced her to give the indie route a shot.

It’s a choice they now enthusiastically endorse. While their e-books cost less than trade-published ones, and they don’t receive an advance on royalties from a publisher, self-publishing allows them to keep 70 percent of their list price, according to Crawford.

She used to ask the picture questions as if the ghost of her mother would manifest and respond.

In her bio, CHRISTINA CANIYO of Vergennes describes herself as a chocolatier, apothecarist and yoga instructor. An appreciation for good cacao permeates this urban fantasy novel, the first of a series, in which the inhabitants of a mystical realm swoon for the “rich, sultry goodness” of the homemade chocolates that our heroine, Kira, brings with her from the human world.

The illicit offspring of a reaper — yes, the grim kind — Kira has discovered the portal to another plane of existence in the “underhouse” beneath her Vermont home. While she becomes embroiled in otherworld politics and romantic rivalry, her death-bringing dad struggles with the consequences of her existence. With an epic sweep, this busy, vivid, frequently trippy fantasy ends on a tantalizing cliffhanger.

The postmodern penchant for suspicion of faith and religion may serve many well, but it’s best to set it aside when reading ABIGAIL CARROLL’s newest volume of poems.

Currently the pastor of arts and spiritual formation at Burlington’s Church at the Well, Carroll has published poetry in journals such as the Midwest Quarterly and Sojourners, authored the 2013 book Three Squares: The Invention of the American Meal, and written pieces for the Wall Street Journal and New York Times. This collection explores the relationship between nature and godliness; but for sparse references to the biblical Adam and Genesis, Carroll’s poetry could concern a universal god. The rhythm and cadence of her words evoke church choirs — not surprisingly, since some pieces were written for those groups. Yet her poems live wholly in the natural world, and it’s a beautiful one.

At the end of one installment of their story, Irene tossed her head so that Poppy knew she was about to say something outrageous.

Poppy Starkweather is an appealing, relatable protagonist: As we meet her, she’s bombed at graduate school and abandoned an anticipated academic career in English literature. (She’s particularly enamored of 18th-century diarist and biographer James Boswell.)

Instead, twentysomething Poppy has become a dog walker in her native Philadelphia — and finds that it suits her. She is, after all, a dog lover, and her own furry companion, Spock, is an engaging character in this slim volume. Huntington writer LUCY ANDREWS CUMMIN draws both people and pooches with familiar ease. The Hounds of Spring allows the reader access not only to Poppy’s agitated mind but to her colorful clients and their pets. Cummin’s prose and pace are comfortable, but not without drama concerning Poppy’s boyfriend and family. Luxurious in detail, the entire story takes place over a single day.

Legalese and courtroom banter become relatable, even enjoyable, in this debut novel from Montpelier lawyer BERNIE LAMBEK about a gay high school student’s death. After Kerry Pearson is found at the bottom of a cliff, an apparent suicide, the tragedy throws Montpelier into an uproar, bringing lawyers into the fold who must explore the complexities of bullying, preferential treatment for heterosexuals, discrimination, and religious and sexual freedom.

While the content is heavy, the familiar landscape helps readers feel at ease. The novel is littered with local landmarks — some slightly altered, such as “Sacred Grounds” standing in for local coffee shop Capitol Grounds. Such small changes aside, the book feels as if it could, and did, happen in our own backyard, and it couldn’t be more timely.

“I do not offer these legends as strict accounts,” writes BARON WORMSER, Montpelier resident and former poet laureate of Maine, in the preface to this collection. Indeed, while each of his 11 essays profiles a famous figure from the 20th century — ranging from Rosa Parks to Audrey Hepburn — Wormser spurns dry biographical details. He channels the lived experiences of his subjects with the lyrical immediacy of a novelist.

For instance, Wormser imagines philosopher Hannah Arendt, who escaped Nazi Germany, meditating as she strolls up Broadway: “That seems one of the beauties of the United States. There are no essences to aspire to. Beyond what a ballplayer can do, no one cares about greatness.” Elegiac and urgent, these essays evoke the spirit that Wormser attributes to modernity: “the unnerving, headline feeling of everything giddily speeding up and everything ending.” The lessons of these lives remain disturbingly relevant.

THE STRAIGHT DOPE BY CECIL ADAMS

Dear Cecil,

If the world were to get serious about reducing carbon emissions, there would be a lot less air travel. I’ve read that trains are much more efficient than flying on a per-passenger-mile basis. Could we reduce our carbon emissions by taking a boat across the Atlantic or Pacific like in the old days?

looking for an environmentally friendly way to travel.

Unless you’re hoofing it, though, most forms of travel take some earthly toll. As you’d imagine given the increasing stakes, just how to calculate that toll is the subject of a lot of emergent research. A 2013 paper in Environmental Science and Technology figured that the “climate impact from a longdistance trip can easily vary by a factor of 10 per passenger depending on mode choice, vehicle efficiency and occupancy.”

And indeed there are endless ways to run the numbers.

That particular paper looks at some factors less obvious than mere CO2 emissions: for instance, contrails left by planes in the thin upper air, which can intensify the greenhouse effect.

If you really wanted to go deep, you could run what researchers call a life-cycle assessment, which accounts for not just

WHISKEY TANGO FOXTROT BY SADIE WILLIAMS

What’s Up With the Giant Spider on Burlington’s Crombie Street?

“It looks awkward,” she said. “It’s not the average street art.”

Waltz suggested talking to Steph Pappas, a contributor to the Ramble who lives across the street from the spider.

A musician and longtime ONE resident, Pappas said she first noticed the spider three years ago on Halloween.

She confirmed that the syrup jug was added sometime this year. Her thoughts on the furry pole climber? “I don’t really care,” Pappas said indifferently. “It can get gone.”

Other residents, however, have become more attached. Lydia Kern, a former Barrio employee, said the arachnid seemed to greet her when she arrived at work.

“It was a few months of walking by it before I was like, Let me rethink this,” Kern said. “You’re a spider holding a jar of maple syrup? What? Who? Why?” Kern’s friend Dre Falzarano, who also lives nearby, supported Pappas’ observation. “I always thought it was a Halloween decoration,” she said.

Falzarano even has a nickname for it: the Maple Spider — a riff on maple cider that she said “made her dad-joke heart sing.” She also revealed that she would like to “marry the maker of the Maple Spider.”

The offer stands, folks.

“I think the genius of the Maple Spider,” Kern said, “is that you don’t question it, because it belongs there.”

“I just like that it’s still there,” Falzarano added. “It’s one of those beautiful Vermont moments.”

Berger noted that the ONE is prone to ornamentation. For Decaturfest, she said, “We decorate the streets and the trees. We have decorations going from house to house across the street.”

However, though Decaturfest and the Ramble often leave remnants behind, Berger insisted that the spider was installed on a different occasion.

For now, its origins remain a mystery, but the giant arachnid is unquestionably a part of this quirky Burlington neighborhood.

Pappas will host her third annual house concert during this year’s Ramble, inviting listeners to lounge in her garden as she plays music on the porch. Perhaps the spider will be listening, too. m

he sight of a spider makes many humans recoil with fear. Not so much with a particular specimen on Burlington’s Crombie Street, even though it is extraordinarily large.

The strangely fuzzy arachnid dangles upside down from a utility pole just outside Barrio Bakery, clutching a bottle of maple syrup. Its back legs are strapped together with neon-blue duct tape.

Harsh Vermont weather has molded its straggly fur into windblown peaks. And though its red plastic eyes still glimmer softly in sunlight, the creature appears to have been there a very long time. In fact, it looks quite at home on its pole.

Inquiring minds have asked us: WTF? Neither the bright, cheery façade of Barrio nor the bakery’s employees offer any clues about the spider’s origins. “It’s been there forever,” said ceramicist and barista Rory Shamlian as she served up lattes to a quiet morning crowd. How long is forever? “Maybe a few years,” she speculated. “You should ask the people at Junktiques.”

Just down North Winooski Avenue, a wealth of secondhand items at Junktiques Collective fills the shop and spills out the door. The spider would fit right in there. However, an employee behind the counter had only another referral: “You should talk to the Ramble.”

He was talking about the annual fête organized by a small group of committed, artistic members of the hood. The party takes place throughout the Old North End, with various homes and businesses hosting events, art shows and food sales.

Jeannie Waltz, an art history teacher at Rock Point School, currently heads the group that organizes the Ramble.

Waltz said the first time she saw the Crombie Street spider was last week, when she met with artist Jen Berger about Decaturfest. That annual street party coincides with the Ramble and is hosted by residents of block-long Decatur Street. Both celebrations take place on the last Saturday of July.

Waltz believes the spider is a recent arrival. Her first thought, she said, was What’s the archival quality of this piece?

Not a surprising reaction for someone in her profession. Waltz also noted that the maple syrup bottle appears to be newer, perhaps added by a second stealthy installer.

Taking Off Theater review: Gypsy, Stowe Theatre Guild B Y A L EX BROW N

S

tudded with classic songs, Gypsy carries audiences back to the days of vaudeville as Rose, a single-minded stage mother, seeks stardom for her daughters. A young Stephen Sondheim wrote the clever lyrics for Jule Styne’s lush music.

Arthur Laurents’ book is based loosely on Gypsy Rose Lee’s memoir of her mother’s controlling force on her career.

In Stowe Theatre Guild’s production, the singing takes center stage.

Structurally, the musical combines the pure entertainment of vaudeville and burlesque routines with a character study. Since its Broadway debut in 1959, Gypsy has been considered an exemplar of the “book musical” that weaves song and dance into a dramatic story.

Gypsy Rose Lee would find fame as a striptease artist who captivated audiences with her stage persona; the musical shows the very beginning of that career. Her sister became the film star June Havoc. That makes Mama Rose two for two at launching careers.

If “stage mother” has negative connotations, this story is about 100 percent effective American drive and hustle.

Lee’s memoir is the inspiration, but Laurents creates a mother far more charming than the real-life Rose. In the musical, Rose channels her own desire to be famous through her daughters, the talented, crowd-pleasing June and the reluctant Louise. Starting with preteen talent shows, Rose nudges the kids up each rung of the vaudeville ladder,

nearing the top just as America loses its taste for such entertainment.

When June leaves the act for Hollywood, Louise trudges on and into the world of burlesque, the surviving vestige of live performance. It’s rock bottom, but with a huge upside, for Louise finds her true calling in striptease.

Rose’s cheerful, in-it-towin-it songs are all about victory, and considering her success, she’d rank as a great CEO. As a parent? Let’s just say no one’s evaluating any tradeoffs she makes. For that matter, the plot is such a jaunty business that the other kids she acquires to populate the vaudeville act appear as if by magic, not by kidnapping. Though June and Louise

duly note that they’re not receiving an education and eat a lot of cold Chinese food in dingy hotel rooms, the spirit is always upbeat.

This production summons some of the glitz of variety shows, but the rapid scene changes don’t allow for elaborate numbers with bold choreography. The biggest spectacle is a heartwarming one, as child actors perform two vaudeville routines — a little heavy on the marching in place but jolly nonetheless.

Talula Leven, as young Louise, joins Barley Earle, Ryley Earle, Mateo Fernandez, Lily Weigand and Julia Wulff to surround Ellie Feinstein as the applause-hungry young June. Some of

the kids are appearing onstage for the first time; all appear to find the joy in live performance.

Abby Erwin plays the grown-up Louise with some nice nuances. Erwin’s Louise shuffles along as the story’s second banana, but when she has to bail out the family by filling in for a stripper, combing out her pigtails brings her to life. In a musical montage of stage appearances, Erwin shows her gradually acquiring formidable ease in the world of burlesque. She adds fine singing to the role, especially in a duet with June.

As June, Shannon Brodie is an ever-dutiful daughter, springing to attention and plunging into a split to follow her mother’s stage directions. As Herbie, the love interest Rose takes for granted, Scott Weigand is endearing. And he’s a fine foil for Rose’s big numbers, especially the haunting “Small World.”

As Rose, Jennifer Warwick doesn’t manifest bad parenting so much as the power of positive thinking. She’s so focused on tomorrow’s success that today’s disappointments don’t register.

Warwick makes Rose thoroughly likable, giving only one glimpse of pain when she learns that June has left to pursue stardom on her own. Warwick quietly fingers her daughter’s goodbye note, briefly revealing a crack in her façade. Then she plasters it right over with the rousing “Everything’s Coming Up Roses.”

Carrie Phillips, Britten Leigh and Holly Biracree play burlesque artists who welcome Louise into their world of bustiers, twirling spangles and feathered headdresses.

Gypsy calls attention to the quiet tug of war between every performer and an audience. Entertainers like June take the stage and presume the audience’s attention. But others have to prove themselves and imagine viewers sitting in judgment. The striptease act may be

the ultimate contest between audience and artist. The musical doesn’t include the real thing, of course, but it hints at the strength it takes to command a stage.

Director Jean Paterek and choreographer Sarah Venooker stage the songs to showcase the singer, not to reveal relationships between the characters. The lyrics are generally sung straight to the audience, and this style arguably suits a musical built on stage performance.

Still, it’s a missed opportunity. When Rose is rallying her troops, she doesn’t pause to see if she’s convincing them; she looks at us. Louise and the young dancer Tulsa (a fresh-faced Parker Nolan) have a duet that Louise should confuse with a flirtation, but Tulsa’s eyes are always on the audience.

Showcasing the cast’s vocal strengths is smart, but we miss a sense of drama unfolding.

This production emphasizes musical entertainment, not a contrast between onstage glamour and backstage tawdriness. The show tunes are the point, and Stowe’s cast performs them brightly, backed by a five-piece band led by musical director Becky Millard.

Pursuing a dream is the most stirring of character motivations, and Rose’s story is told with little concern for what her flamethrower of aspiration leaves singed. When the kiddie-act song “Let Me Entertain You” becomes a stripper’s theme, we get a hint of how much childhood Louise has missed, but this production emphasizes high spirits and big songs. m

Three meals in Morristown B Y SA L LY POL L AK

etween breakfast and lunch last week in Morrisville — or was it Morristown? — I thought I should find out where I was. So I walked into the Morristown municipal offices on Portland Street for the official word. The building’s Morristown designation offered a big hint, but it wasn’t enough.

Nearby street signs announced that I was in the historic district of Morrisville.

Where are we? I asked in the town clerk’s office.

It must be a common query, because I was given a printed handout that explained Morrisville is a village within

Morristown. I learned that the Lamoille County town of 5,200 people at one time encompassed two additional villages, Cadys Falls and Morristown Corners. Its current makeup includes two breweries — one that is solar-powered, Rock Art; and another that features an outdoor summer kitchen, Lost Nation. Two versions of Route 100 — the bypass and the original — pass through Morristown, as does the Lamoille Valley Rail Trail, which runs above its namesake river.

In touring Morristown for breakfast, lunch and dinner, I ate at three restaurants. Each presented a distinct

menu and ambience. What they have in common are the quality of their food, friendly and efficient service, and an easygoing vibe.

The eateries also offer geographic diversity. My breakfast destination, Charlmont Restaurant and Pub, is at the roundabout where routes 100 and 15 meet. El Toro — for lunch and margaritas with a friend — occupies a brick storefront on lower Main Street in the heart of the village. Black Diamond Barbecue, where I had supper with my daughter, stands at a country crossroads in erstwhile Morristown Corners.

“In Morrisville, in Lamoille County and in Vermont in general, people just want a nice restaurant to go to that has good food and good service,” said Steve Benson, who is three years into his second stint as owner of the Charlmont.

He first owned the restaurant from 1980 to 1998. Customers recognize him from the early years, Benson said, adding with a laugh that one gentleman spotted him and remarked, “What did you do, get a life sentence here?”

He runs the restaurant these days with his son Kelby and said little has changed in terms of what people are looking for when they dine out. Most people want a restaurant meal that falls between fancy food and “something that’s slopped on a plate,” Benson said.

If that’s your criterion — and it happens to be mine — Morristown is the place for you.

Later-morning breakfast eaters filled booths at the Charlmont, which opened in 1964, on the hot, hazy day I ate there.

In one corner, a young girl dining with her family accepted an apology from her waitress for serving pancakes that resembled a bear and not the usual Mickey Mouse. The misshapen image, it seemed, was created by a night cook covering the morning shift.

At the next table, a pair of musicians drank coffee and talked about gigs and guitars. Nearby, bikers traveling from the White Mountains to upstate New York chowed down before the last leg of their trip.

Dining alone, I was offered a cup of coffee even before I sat down at my table by the front window. In a matter of moments, I was drinking a strong, hot

In Colchester, Junior’s Italian closed on June 15. In a Facebook post announcing the 25-year-old restaurant’s immediate closure, owner FRANKE SALESE JR. cited ongoing financial issues as reasons for the restaurant’s demise. “We have been working extremely hard over the past few years to make day-to-day adjustments and financial investments to improve our operations and maintain a financially sustainable business,” he wrote. “However, our efforts were ultimately not enough.”

Over the years, Salese’s food and beverage businesses, which have included the short-lived Junior’s Rustico, JUNIOR’S DOWNTOWN and JUNIOR’S AT STOWE (the latter two of which remain open at press time), have accrued at least 10 liens from creditors, including food distributors and the Internal Revenue Service. One Junior’s employee, who declined to speak publicly on the matter, told Seven Days that unpaid back taxes precipitated the Colchester closure.

At the Vermont Department of Taxes, which collects meals and rooms tax, sales tax, and income tax from restaurants, confidentiality statutes limit what agents can say about

individual businesses’ tax obligations. However, officials told Seven Days that Junior’s closure was voluntary, not state mandated. At the tax commissioner’s office, Valerie Rickert confirmed that the business was on the wrong side of the red line: “If you are asking me if [Junior’s Italian] are in good standing [with the tax department], then my answer would be no.”

Salese did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Classic indeed and perfectly prepared: eggs with yolks aglow; crispy potatoes sweetened with sautéed onions; juicy sausages; and light, buttery biscuits.

I washed it all down with a second cup of coffee.

In the parking lot, I struck up a conversation with one of the bikers, who said he was headed home to Madrid, N.Y. Larry Dutton, riding a Harley-Davidson Tri Glide, told me that he and his friends had stopped at the Charlmont for lunch on their way to New Hampshire. They were so pleased with that meal, they came back for breakfast on their return trip. Dutton had biscuits with sausage and gravy and a side of corned-beef hash.

“It’s great service and great food,” he said. “I love it.”

It was love at first sight (and sound) for me at El Toro, a Mexican restaurant in the heart of the village. A John Lennon song was playing on the jukebox by the front door when my friend and I showed up.

A scattering of quarters, courtesy of the house, was on top of the music machine as if to say, “Help yourself.”

Lennon was singing “Watching the Wheels,” a mellow serenade just right for our lunchtime activity: sitting at a marble-topped table in front of the restaurant, eating chips dunked in spicy red salsa, drinking $5 margaritas — the Wednesday special — and watching the passing scene. Before our meal came, I dropped some quarters in the jukebox and added Led Zeppelin and Bruce Springsteen to the playlist.

I ate two quesadillas, a hearty bargain at $7. One was stuffed with housemade refried beans, the other filled with a wonderful mélange of zucchini, onion, corn and mushrooms. The corn tortillas were smothered in melted cheese and sauce and topped with chopped lettuce and tomato, a pleasing marriage of distinct flavors and textures. My meal was at once nourishing and indulgent and included small sides of sour cream and guacamole that my friend and I shared.

When our lunch was complete, I felt so good I played one more song — corny, but it hit a sweet note that afternoon in Morrisville: John Denver’s “Rocky Mountain High.”

The tune is an ode to the home state of El Toro owner Jennifer Isabell, who has brought Mexican fare from Colorado to northern Vermont. On weekend evenings, live music takes the place of jukebox tunes.

My pork ribs — seven fat ones — were slathered in smoky barbecue sauce made from 22 ingredients. The $20 meal included pickled vegetables (beans, carrots, cukes), coleslaw, and mac and cheese.

Pacioni told me he started Black Diamond in lieu of his original plan: putting on a few pig roasts a year and peddling barbecue in the parking lot of Phish shows. He calls himself the “pit boss.”

“I hate the word ‘chef ’,” he said, adding that “cook” is acceptable.

Pit boss worked for me. The smoked meat we had at Black Diamond called for a return trip, when I plan to eat 16-hour wood-smoked brisket.

In fact, the whole town requires a second food run — if only to quiet the argument posed by Krux. He wondered how I could eat for a day in Morristown and pass over Lost Nation Brewing. I mounted my best defense: “Well,” I told him, “I’ve eaten at the brewery and written, glowingly, about it more than once.”

“I’m good friends with those guys,” he said. “A homie’s got to stay with his homies.”

t’s no secret that many Americans could benefit from eating better. Over the last few decades, the country has seen a steady increase of health issues such as cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure and type 2 diabetes, all attributed at least partially to poor diet. Not only have our food choices racked up billions in national health care bills, some of them are killing us.

In response to this public health crisis, the U.S. Food & Drug Administration changed the nutrition facts label required on grocery store products and made it mandatory that chain restaurants provide menu nutrition information.

This sounds good, right? But sometimes it’s still hard to know how to interpret all this information. We turned to a local expert, Wendy Hess of Burlington, who has worked as a registered dietician for 30 years and holds a master’s of science in food regulation from Northeastern University. As a food industry consultant, Hess helps clients, including restaurant company Darden, owner of Olive Garden and Longhorn Steakhouse, and packaged-foods companies of all sizes comply with regulation and labeling requirements.

Science-based, clearly presented nutrition information at stores and restaurants will allow consumers to compare similar options and make educated decisions, said Hess. At Olive Garden, that might mean ordering the stuffed mushroom appetizer over the spinach artichoke dip for 400 fewer calories. And at the grocery store, Hess says, “The beauty is that you can pick up two yogurts and they will have an equivalent serving size, and you can compare fat or added sugars and make a good choice for you.”

On the Nutritional Label

**

FAT AND FIBER, TOTAL CARBS

Recommended daily intakes of some nutrients (daily values or percent DV) have been revised based on new research, which shows that higher overall fat and dietary fiber as a percent of daily diet can be beneficial, but total carb consumption should be lower than previously thought.

Percent daily values are still based on a 2,000 -calorie daily diet but will obviously vary based on age, gender, activity level and health goals. If you’re trying to lose weight, for example, you might be aiming for 1,500 calories, Hess says.

For nutrients that may have negative health impacts such as sodium, saturated fat and added sugars, look for a low daily value of 5 percent or less. For those with potential positive impacts, such as fiber, calcium or iron, look for 20 percent or more.

THESE ARE BIGGER AND BOLDER. IF YOU READ NOTHING ELSE, READ THESE FIRST.

Gone from the new label is calories from fat.

Hess explains that was a vestige of the low-fat-diet trend and is no longer considered useful. “Not all fat is bad,” she notes.

BUT THIS FAT IS (MOSTLY) BAD

The list of micronutrients has been updated to reflect current research on what has the most impact on Americans’ health and includes amount per serving, not just percent of daily value. Most Americans now get enough vitamins A and C, so they’re no longer required on the label, but potassium, for example, was added because those with diabetes-related kidney disease may need to monitor their intake.

Trans fats, like partially hydrogenated shortening and stick margarine, were added as a label line in 2006. This month, June, is the deadline for food manufacturers to have removed all added trans fats. (Small amounts that occur naturally in animal products are not of concern.)

Serving sizes have been standardized across similar products for easy comparison. They are also based on the quantity people customarily consume, not what they should consume. Small bags of salty snacks, like potato chips, represent a notable exception, Hess explains. Even though a two-ounce bag, for example, is technically two servings, Americans reliably eat whole small bags alone, so those labels will reflect the nutrients of a single serving and of an entire bag.

RooEop

Fructose from apples cooked down into natural applesauce, for example, is not listed under added sugars. But any extra sweetener added during manufacture, even in the form of concentrated fruit juice or maple syrup, is listed under added sugars. Some Vermont producers are concerned about the requirement that labels on 100 percent pure maple syrup and honey list added sugars. But the FDA reasons that because consumers almost exclusively use these products as added sugars — on pancakes or in cooking, for example — they should be labeled as such.

The biggest deal in the new label is the new added sugars category. Research shows that Americans consume too many of these empty calories. It distinguishes sugars that occur naturally in a food, such as lactose in dairy and fructose in fruit, from any concentrated sugars added during processing. The difference, Hess explains, is that the naturally occurring sugars “carry with them the vitamins and minerals inherent in natural, whole foods.”

Happy Ending When actor Gwyneth Paltrow and her musician husband Chris Martin issued a statement regarding their split in 2014, they introduced many Americans to the phrase “conscious uncoupling.” The following year, Katherine Woodward Thomas, the psychotherapist and relationship expert who coined the term, released her New York Times best-selling title, Conscious Uncoupling: 5 Steps to Living Happily Even After. Certified conscious uncoupling coach K. Hannah Caterino, who trained under Woodward Thomas, shares her expertise in a presentation on this unique approach to handling breakups, divorce and co-parenting with dignity and goodwill.

Oreo AGE/SEX: 7-year-old neutered male ARRIVAL DATE: March 28, 2018 REASON HERE: Oreo's owner could no longer care for him.

COURTESY OF KELLY SCHULZE/MOUNTAIN DOG PHOTOGRAPHY

DOGS/CATS/KIDS: Oreo needs to be the only dog in his new home.

He has been exposed to a cat and may do well with a proper and slow introduction. He may do well with teenagers.

SUMMARY: As sweet as the treat he is named after, this boy is clearly

a delightful little cookie! We love all of his expressive wrinkles! Oreo’s first love is tennis balls, and hot dogs come in a close second. Oreo may be a mature 7-year-old guy, but he’s still learning a lot about the world! We hope his new family can fill his days with loads of love, fun and fetch! Oreo is rarely seen without a ball in his mouth, so if you want a little Oreo in your life, warm up your throwing arm because you're gonna need it! Oreo is an HSCC Certified Pre-Owned Pet! What's that?

Check out our website for details and plenty more photos of this handsome face and his trusty ball!

hile much of William Shakespeare’s English Renaissance-era work has proved timeless, some stories and characters raise tough modern-day questions. Representation of the character Shylock, a Jewish moneylender in The Merchant of Venice, for example, has been criticized as anti-Semitic.

In New York City-based collective Compagnia de’ Colombari’s production of this powerful play, founding director Karin Coonrod addresses the issue by casting five actors of different ethnicities, genders and ages to play Shylock, shedding light on various aspects of his character. Three thought-provoking outdoor performances take place as part of SHIFT, a Dartmouth College live arts series inspired by cultural disruption during the 1960s.

I've been coming to Urban Salon for over three years. They are the best salon in the state, hands down. The great cut & color take a backseat to the atmosphere that Urban Salon curates; the team cares, their smiles are genuine, the space is gorgeous and clean, their products and services focus on health and sustainability, and the retail shop has fun and great items!

Urban makes you feel like more than a client or head of hair.

Urban Salon provides a friendly, team-based, holistic salon experience that is unmatched in Vermont

iz Cooper & the Stampede are on the verge of busting out of the corral to tear off into the wild. With the imminent release of its debut LP Window Flowers, due out August 10, the Nashville-based trio is poised for a breakout. On the band’s latest single, “Mountain Man,” the group concocts a psychedelic, folkrock hybrid that contrasts with the traditional Americana sound from 2014’s Monsters EP. The track’s recently released video is a virtual-reality-themed, SundayFunday dreamscape that subtly hints at the futility of the urge to be in control. Also, it features cameo appearances from Ron Gallo, Vermont expat Caroline Rose and their bands — including Rose’s Burlington-based drummer Willoughby Morse. More singles and videos arrive later this summer, including an Anna Zorn-directed video for “Hey Man,” featuring members of the Chicago-based improv comedy troupe the Second City.

Cooper, a former golf phenom, feels a kindred connection to Burlington. The front woman has family in the area and plays a Creston Electric Instruments guitar, crafted by local luthier Creston Lea in his South End studio.

Liz Cooper & the Stampede open for Houndmouth on Sunday, June 24, at

the Higher Ground Ballroom in South Burlington. Seven Days caught up with Cooper by phone while she and her “Stampeders” cruised through Virginia mountains.

SEVEN DAYS: First of all, the “Mountain Man” video is spectacular.

How did that project come together?

LIZ COOPER: We filmed the video with director — and my roommate — Daniel Yocum. We first filmed the video in Nashville, and all of us were all not necessarily vibing with [the concept].

The second filming came about spur of the moment after [playing] South by Southwest. We were down in Texas, and we had a few days.

Basically, it was just incredibly spur of the moment — everything down to the fireworks that we got. They were donated to us. The “mountain man,” Billy — I don’t actually know if I know his last name — he just finished his construction job and had a week and a half of nothing to do.

The story line kind of unfolded as we were driving from New Orleans down to Austin. As we were filming it, we were just coming up with ideas. How the video developed and everything that’s going on was kind of like a dream and probably something that we wouldn’t ever be able to re-create.

SD: Are you a virtual reality user in real life?

LC: No, not really. We do have a VR headset — the one that was in the video.

We got [it] from a gas station. My bass player, Grant Prettyman, he uses the VR headset the most out of everybody. It’s mostly just a thing while we’re sitting in the van.

SD: Did you meet the other bands in the video at South by Southwest?

LC: No. I’ve known Ron [Gallo] for a while. He lives in Nashville, just down the road from where I live. And Caroline [Rose], I just met her this year. We’ve played some shows together and have a bunch of mutual friends. We were all just hanging out, and it all just kind of happened. It was very organic.

SD: You seem like you were already having fun before you started shooting.

LC: Yeah, we definitely were.

SD: You recorded Window Flowers in one week, correct?

LC: We recorded it in 2016. It’s pretty crazy. It’s been a while. We did a week at Welcome to 1979 [studios in Nashville], and we probably spent another week at another studio in Atlanta. But the whole mixing [process] takes a long

time. We got everything finished late last summer.

SD: After so much time, I wonder how your perspective has changed.

LC: Oh, so much.

SD: Since the release of your 2014 EP Monsters, how do you think your songwriting, guitar playing and overall sound have changed?

LC: Oh, in every way. It’s changed drastically. When I first moved to Nashville is when I recorded Monsters.

Those were the first songs I ever really wrote. Those weren’t necessarily as intentional. There wasn’t a process. I wasn’t like, “I’ve got 50 songs, and I’m gonna choose these.”

From that point to forming what we have now with Ryan Usher and Grant Prettyman — my “Stampeders” — a lot has changed with my songwriting and how we all work as a band over the last two years. I feel like we’re really in the groove of touring more than we ever had been before. That’s how we spend all of our time right now.

At first, I played acoustic guitar for Monsters. I started to pick up electric, and last year was the first year I feel like I really pushed myself to the next level of guitar playing. A lot of people BORN TO RUN

I recently accomplished something I’d been putting off for a while: I chronicled my record collection with the help of online vinyl marketplace Discogs. To be fair, I don’t have a particularly huge collection — due largely to the fact that I purged a lot of my wax before moving to and from California — so it wasn’t an especially laborious task. But I had been procrastinating, and I’m pleased that I can check that off my to-do list.

Other than getting a rough ballpark of what my collection is worth, I mainly wanted to index my discs so that I could, um, buy more records. Hear me out: I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been flipping through record shop crates only to pause and ask myself, “Do I have this ELVIS COSTELLO record already?” Not wanting to double down on My Aim Is True, I inevitably err on the side of caution and don’t buy it.

Then I get home and discover that I shamefully don’t have that one, and by the time I get back to the shop, it’s gone.

Now I can just check my Discogs profile on my phone and find out then and there whether I already have MADONNA’s True Blue. (Answer: I do not!)

This weekend marks the return of the Nightshade Festival. Born out of electro-R&B wunderkind GUTHRIE GALILEO’s Nightshade Kitchen — a series of intimate, food-centric house concerts — the daylong fest heads into its second year on Saturday, June 23, at organic farm, nursery and wedding venue Red Barn Gardens in Williston. With a bill practically dripping with hot talent, the event promises to fill attendees’ ears with tasty tunes. The fest will fill their gullets, as well, with a sumptuous, home-cooked meal included with the price of entry.

Last year, the volunteer-run, indoor/ outdoor shindig was an experiment of sorts. About a dozen mostly local acts performed — some in an adorable greenhouse setting and others right in the grass with the assistance of SONIC STEVE’s mobile concert venue (and former ambulance) the Jammbulance.

Nightshade Festival 2.0 features a higher percentage of nonlocal acts than version 1.0 did, including Montréalbased neo-R&B group RAVEEN. A little less than a year ago, the band was set to play Radio Bean but had to cancel last minute, much to my personal dismay.

Any fans of smooth and contemplative acts like RHYE and/or MILOSH out there?

You’ll want to catch Raveen’s set.

Harpist MARIE HAMILTON and experimental singer-songwriter ALEXIA AVINA also make the trek down from MTL. Taking the headlining slot is New York City-based odd-pop singersongwriter DARWIN DEEZ. Fellow NYC artist JAK LIZARD rounds out the out-oftown contingent.

As Galileo points out in an email, the Nightshade Festival is mostly composed of Vermont-based talent. He says the goal is “to lift up the best upcoming local acts,” which include folk masters the DUPONT BROTHERS, Afro-funk combo SABOUYOUMA, savage rockers CLEVER GIRLS, psych-fusionists GNOMEDAD, fuzz rockers SLEEPING IN, soul singer-songwriter IVAMAE, ambient jazz guitarist TOM PEARO, post-rockers ENTRANCE TO TRAINS, slowcore newcomers FATHER FIGUER, the enigmatic LAUREL, and equally indefinable alt-rockers STAYGOLD & THE PONYBOYS. Admirably, that tasty roster is a neartotal refresh from last year. Only a few repeat offenders return — and we’re glad they will: experimental ensemble the DEAD SHAKERS, indie rockers JULIA CAESAR, formerly local soul singersongwriter STACE BRANDT and postpunkers BISON. Speaking of Bison…

Why you gotta toy with us, dudes?

The three-piece outfit released EP Drive Fast, Love Hard on June 1, then claimed

its June 2 show at ArtsRiot was its “farewell.” (See Seven Days contributor CHRIS FARNSWORTH’s review of the EP on page 75.)

But then Bison cruised across Lake Champlain and rocked the stage at Plattsburgh, N.Y.’s Monopole on June 8 and dipped down to Philadelphia and NYC for what I can only guess was a pair of extremely sexy shows on June 14 and 16, respectively.

The long, drawn-out goodbye ends for realsies this weekend. If you missed any of Bison’s “final” shows, their actual final show is at Nightshade. You know, until, like, two years from now when they stage a one-off reunion. Come on, we were all thinking it. But just in case that hypothetical homecoming never happens: You will be missed, Bison.

According to Galileo, sounds from the fest could be heard up to two miles away last year. To preempt any noise violations, the family-friendly event transitions into an acoustic-only affair after 10 p.m.

Check out the Nightshade Festival on Facebook for all relevant details.

Proud AF Pride Ball lineup

This is all a long-winded way of saying I’m psyched for the annual Burlington Record Fair on Sunday, June 24, because I’ll finally be able to spotcheck while shopping to prevent any duplicate purchases.

Sellers from the area and beyond convene at Nectar’s for the one-dayonly sale, which features a specially brewed craft beer from Winooski’s Four Quarters Brewing. And for all you early birds out there: Anyone arriving in the fair’s first hour should be prepared to fork over a few bucks for the privilege of getting first dibs.

June is National LGBT Pride Month, and queer-focused events are popping up all over the state — despite the fact that Vermont’s official Pride celebration is actually in September.

Anyone craving experimental, synthfocused music should travel to Dartmouth College in Hanover, N.H., on Friday, June 22. Largely considered a trailblazer in synthesizer composition, MORTON SUBOTNICK performs two pieces — “Silver Apples of the Moon” and “Crowds and Power” — at the college’s Loew Auditorium. Soprano vocalist JOAN LA BARBARA joins the electronic auteur, and visual artist LILLEVAN provides some über tripped-out visuals. Those feeling the absence of Burlington’s experimental music series Signals should be stoked for this rare opportunity.

Fans of bygone Burlington alt-rock band ENVY should be stoked for a little something called “The Hutton-Toohey Disaster: 25 Years of Songs and Sounds.”

Envy’s founders MATT HUTTON and SEAN TOOHEY (the NANCY DRUIDS) team up for a night of nostalgia and all manner of rocking out on Saturday, June 23, at Radio Bean.

In addition to bringing back some sweet Envy cuts from the 1990s, the pair plans to bust out some jams from the RED TELEPHONE — their post-Envy, Bostonbased outfit — and will dig even deeper into the past, culling choice material from pre-Envy group SPRAY 9.

Former 7D music editor DAN BOLLES chronicled Envy’s history when the group reunited in July 2016. Find the account at sevendaysvt.com.

REVIEW this Subversive Intentions, Variations on the Seinfeld Theme (HISTAMINE TAPES, CASSETTE, DIGITAL DOWNLOAD)

Subversive Intentions is a one-man experimental noise operation run by Nick Dentico, who currently hails from the Montpelier area. He’s been toiling in these strange fields for quite some time, with a catalog dating back to 2010. His latest project, Variations on the Seinfeld Theme, comes courtesy of a new local label, Histamine Tapes. That imprint is also from Washington County, and it’s had a busy year: This is one of seven tapes the cassette label has put out so far.

The most merciful aspect of Variations on the Seinfeld Theme is that the title is a joke; this is not 28 different takes on Jonathan Wolff ’s iconic keyboard bass riffs from “Seinfeld.”

The album does feature a lot of electric bass, but it’s not being played so much as poked at. There are no song structures here, no keys, no motifs and no melodies. The overall effect is not unlike working a shift at Guitar Center, all noodling and noise.

Bison, Drive Fast, Love Hard

A WEEK THU 21 | FRI 22 | SAT 23

Which is pretty much the point. The experimental noise genre is ugly. It used to be edgy, too, but that was back when Elvis Presley was still alive.

When Lou Reed handed the masters for Metal Machine Music over to RCA Records in ’75, it was an unambiguous “fuck you” to the label. Decades later, boutique labels specialize in such fare.

Lots and lots of them, in fact — which is one reason the Subversive Intentions catalog spans the globe. It also helps that such tapes are relatively easy to make. With the barriers to entry almost nonexistent, the experimental noise scene has grown into an open culture. Every experiment is a success, after all. (It’s not like Dentico was staying up all night trying to cut the perfect bass take here.)

So, while Variations on the Seinfeld Theme is a fundamentally frivolous album, some moments reward the listener’s patience. For instance, “IX” is a dark landscape strongly reminiscent of Aphex Twin’s early ambient work.

It comes and goes too soon. Especially considering that “Collage IV” follows: a canvas of string noises laid over field

recordings of a crying baby.

Some political commentary is also on tap. “Collage VIII” chops up Trump administration ROD spokesvampire Kellyanne Conway’s infamous quote about “alternative facts” atop a meandering bass performance.

It should be noted that Dentico’s NEXT WEEK relative lack of chops is not an actual BEST PLACE TO DRINK ALONE problem. That’s not just due to the BEST PERFORMING ARTS CENTER genre, either. He articulates his own approach to the instrument, using it BEST PLACE TO TAKE AN ARTS CLASS as more of a percussive tone generator THU 28 | FRI 29 | SAT 30 than a pitched musical instrument.

The closing track, “Drone I,” is dynamic and composed, the finest stretch of the tape. It’s a nearly 30-minute slab of menace and a fitting finish for such a JON defiantly inaccessible album.

Saying that Variations on the Seinfeld Theme is not for everyone understates it profoundly. I don’t entirely regret the time and drugs I spent trying to understand the album — that’s about (802) 859-0100 | WWW.VTCOMEDY.COM the best I can say for it.

lays down a beat with the frantic energy of a pack of dogs giving chase. K.C. Dressing digs into a driving bass line before guitarist Charlie Hill makes his entrance with clean, resonant chords.

“You have more than what you need / You want more than you can receive,” Hill sings, ever on the verge of a shout. He clings to the melody with a wild eye.

Bison had dubbed themselves a “disco punk” band. It’s hard to imagine a better description of “Arkansas,” which the band dropped as an advance single a month before releasing Drive Fast, Love Hard. The verse ticks along, building tension before breaking into a hardcharging chorus with almost dementedsounding vocals. “Fall Out,” another club-banger of a tune, further cements the band’s distinct sonic identity.

In the tradition of early ’00s New York City legends the Rapture, Bison took on dance music with an unironic sneer, adding stabs of aggression,

moments of complicated lust and a sort of neon-lit nihilism that afforded the band a rich and potent songwriting platform. Hill, GasperoBeckstrom and Dressing combined their considerable talents and sonic quirks to make music the likes of which the Queen City hadn’t heard before — and perhaps won’t again.

If you were lucky enough to catch the epic EP release/farewell show Bison played at ArtsRiot for Drive Fast, Love Hard, you saw the band in all its pomp.

The trio ripped through its catalog like young men facing mortality. As the packed room throbbed to propulsive beats and angular riffs, everyone knew they were witnessing a full-throated goodbye from a band in its prime.

Bison are dead. Long live Bison.

Drive Fast, Love Hard is available at bison4.bandcamp.com. Bison play one more “last” show on Saturday, June 23, at the Nightshade Festival II at Red Barn Gardens in Williston.

We have good news and bad news.

The good: Next-big-local-thing Bison have released a four-song EP, and it is a straight home run, just a killer record.

The bad news? As of this writing, Bison are dead.

The Burlington trio dropped its second record, the appropriately named Drive Fast, Love Hard, in June, played a handful of shows and then promptly shut down the office. It’s a strange move for a band that has captivated so many in its four-year life span — particularly with last summer’s fantastic and highly acclaimed debut, Get In. But rock and roll, as life at large, is strange. And, alas, Bison are no more.

They won’t be missed as much as they should be, but credit the band members with leaving behind a startling testament to their raw power. Dripping with equal parts manic dance music and new-wave doom, Drive Fast, Love Hard is a hell of a swan song.

“Paper Blade” opens the EP as drummer Fabian Gaspero-Beckstrom

Magic Tricks New York City-based artist DAVID WEST

writes tunes that recall the classic era of

psych-pop forged by the Zombies and the Association.

The Australian-born singer-songwriter also throws a bit of T. Rex’s glitz and glamour into the mix and dabbles in acoustic punk. In the hazy DIY video for his 2016 track “Peace or Love,” the singer lounges on a millennialpink shag blanket, strumming an acoustic guitar like a bedroom-pop pinup. Through clever visual and audio production techniques, West feels tantalizingly close and simultaneously enigmatic. West opens for DAVID VASSALOTTI on Wednesday, June 27, at the Monkey House in Winooski.

« P.70

Nashville community ask me to play guitar for their bands, so that was a cool thing for me, because it pushed me to have to learn what other people are doing — which I really like because it puts me in another mind-set and helps me learn different sounds and how other people approach melodies.

SD: Do you have any guitar heroes?

LC: It changes. I’m still learning what I’m doing. I’ve always loved the Grateful Dead, and Jerry Garcia is definitely someone I look up to.

And Bob Weir. I take away something from how Jerry plays lead and

how Bob plays with the lead. I try to incorporate that two-in-one [style].

Actually, a local person to you guys — Benny Yurco [of Grace Potter’s band] — he’s been playing with Michael Nau, and I sang some background vocals for them when they were down in Nashville. The way he plays guitar is so great and tasteful.

Their music in general has been inspiring me lately.

SD: I imagine you’re sick of this golf narrative that keeps getting brought up.

LC: It does keep getting brought up. But it’s part of me.

SD: Seven Days recently received an email from a reader wondering why we haven’t covered anything disc-golf-related recently, and I was wondering— LC: Disc golf? Ryan plays disc golf.

SD: Oh, really?

LC: If you want, I can pass the phone to him and he can talk to you about it.

SD: Definitely.

RYAN USHER: Hey, what’s up?

SD: Hi, Ryan. Tell me what’s so great about disc golf.

RU: Honestly, it’s just a nice way to get some exercise and hang out

in the woods. And you can, like, drink and smoke weed while you do it.

SD: Are you shooting as great distances as you are in regular golf?

RU: I don’t think so, no. I would say they’re probably shorter. I’ve never actually played regular golf.

Rachel Moore, Edgewater Gallery in Stowe

BY RAC H E L E L I Z ABE T H J ON E S

A

delicate darkness emanates from “Traces,” Rachel Moore’s solo exhibition at Edgewater Gallery in Stowe. For Moore, who joined Helen Day Art Center as curator in 2010 and succeeded Nathan Suter as executive director in 2016, this is the first comprehensive showing of her work in Vermont. As such, the show, curated by Edgewater’s Kelly Holt, is an exciting opportunity to witness and integrate Moore’s dual roles as arts leader and artist. Holt has described the show as a sort of retrospective, spanning works from 2003 to the present.

“Traces” immediately conjures a sense of home and the domestic.

Occupying half of the gallery’s lightfilled, hardwood-floored space, 21 works include a dramatic hanging cluster of glass forms, small altar-like arrangements, cast porcelain fruit, and framed watercolors and street maps.

While Moore may draw on the visual language of chic and airy home décor,

“Traces” offers deep and somber meditations on loss, displacement and human history. Close observers will see the subtlety of Moore’s approach give way to heaviness on further inspection; what appears light and gossamer turns out to be ghostly and often aching.

At the show’s entrance hang four modest watercolors depicting vessels: an almost cheerful blue rowboat or lifeboat, a slightly more grand fishing boat, a ramshackle raft with a jerry-rigged sail, and an inflatable raft. Separately, these pieces might pass as pleasant commercial paintings, but, when grouped together and titled “Migration Vessel I-IV,” they require further engagement from the viewer. Visions of modern refugee crises come to the fore, as illustrated by haunting media photographs of capsized boats and drowned children. Who is migrating, and how and why? What keeps them afloat, or not?

Nearby, “Drifters: Pulled From the Sea” hangs from the high ceiling at the

center of the gallery’s foyer. Made of 12 handblown glass orbs, each roughly a foot across, the sculpture is a conglomeration of forms that mimic drifter buoys. These air-filled globes, curator Holt explained in an interview, gather scientific data about water temperature and shifts in the tides — sea changes, in other words.

In the context of the interlinked phenomena of climate change and human migration, Moore gives shape to the great and dangerous unknown — the ocean — through its absence. She “traces” the tangible shapes of human attempts to adapt.

The sculptural pair “Message in a Bottle (Black)” and “Message in a Bottle (White)” also employs the buoy shape, perhaps with a more incisive charge.

Each of these is partially covered with an organic layer of barnacle-like fiber forms, a nod to the interrelation of human-made and natural worlds. The top of each sculpture is emblazoned with

the text “Do Not Pick Up.” This might be read as a cutting reference to the refusal of certain countries to welcome refugees, even as the buoy itself has become home to new, uninvited life forms.

Across the gallery from the vessel watercolors is a grouping of three textfree street maps from Moore’s 2014 body of work “An Olive and an Oak.” These are spare, composed of two layered sheets of opaque vellum paper with simple black ink lines denoting roads.

Their titles — “Tipou,” “Ano Poli” and “Michail Psellou” — hint at their location: Each is a street or neighborhood of Thessaloniki, Greece, where Moore spent 2010 as a Fulbright fellow. The “olive” in the series’ title represents Greece and its traditions; the “oak,” Moore as an American.

Within her streetscape of “Tipou,” Moore has drawn three hanging lanterns. The choice echoes the dangling glass buoys while reflecting her general impulse to conflate interior

ART SHOWS

and exterior spaces and macro- and micro-circumstances.

This sensitive, if oblique, merging of global phenomena with intimate and geographic cartographies appears again in several demure altar-like installations.

Also from “An Olive and an Oak,” “Portrait of a City: Monuments” features three works on paper hung above a plain, smooth wooden shelf. To the left are two small ovals of black tape; in the center, an ink drawing of an object that appears to be both chandelier and fountain; to the right, an embossed vitreograph, or a print made with a glass plate. This last work reads, “Only the monuments they want to remember have been preserved.” Beneath the trio, on the right edge of the shelf, sits a single egg of black glass.

Three smaller shrines continue this practice of creating collisions between domestic space and broad ruminations on history and memory.

“Portrait of a (Ghost) City” is especially pointed, referencing the Holocaust. A framed, all-white oblong vitreograph, which is legible only from certain angles, reads, “They left the homes of the Jews empty out of respect.”

Beneath sits a single white porcelain clementine on a small, circular wooden shelf. The ghostly offering is a gesture of sustenance.

Another altar-like installation, “Portrait of a City: Remembrance (text

MOORE “TRACES” THE TANGIBLE SHAPES OF HUMAN ATTEMPTS TO ADAPT.

“Message in a Bottle (White)”

by scholar Mark Mazower),” repeats the pattern. Here, Mazower’s text, borrowed from his book Salonica, City of Ghosts: Christians, Muslims and Jews 1430-1950, offers, “Cities after all are places of both eviction and sanctuary.” Beneath rests a porcelain ghost-pomegranate.

A few more of these porcelain fruits sit among wooden shelves at the back of the gallery, surrounded by largescale watercolors of pigeons. Symbols of urban life, migration and message carrying, these birds would be simply pretty if not for the context of the surrounding show: city maps, contemplations of home and safety.

That Moore’s work should address such heavy and politically relevant themes is hardly surprising; as a student at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, she focused on social practice. The particular success of “Traces” seems to be its slow burn. Using mostly black and white throughout a broad swath of disciplines, Moore has found a way to comment on some of the world’s most complicated (gray?) and violent problems in the softest, most intimate of terms.

Robert DuGrenier In October 2015, a fire destroyed the Townshend

glassblower’s historic barn at Taft Hill Farm. From the loss — which included livestock — and wreckage came a new body of work. Created in mourning, DuGrenier’s “Out of the Ashes” series blends the charred metal remnants of farm fixtures and equipment with exquisite forms of dripping clear glass. Known for art glass and high-end commissions (such as for the Ritz Paris and Tiffany & Co.), this work is a stark departure from the artist’s usual aesthetic. Many viewers might find it more interesting. Dubbed “Handle With Care,” the solo show opens on Friday, June 22, at the Brattleboro Museum & Art Center. Through September 24.

movies American Animals ★★★★★

S

omething wicked cool this way comes. Bart Layton, the Brit who gave us 2012’s hybrid documentary The Imposter, unveiled his narrative feature debut at the Sundance Film Festival in January. The film proved a sensation. It should arrive in Burlington in upcoming weeks, sensational news for anyone with a taste for the cinematically audacious.

American Animals is a really smart movie about complete knuckleheads. Its starting point is the 2004 “Transy Heist,” a caper most notable for involving the improbable combination of Kentucky college kids, international art smugglers and books. That’s right: This is a crime drama in which the crime goes down not at a Las Vegas casino or Paris museum, but at the Transylvania University library.

Barry Keoghan, Evan Peters, Jared Abrahamson and Blake Jenner play Spencer Reinhard, Warren Lipka, Eric Borsuk and Chas Allen. This being the work of a born genre bender, Reinhard, Lipka, Borsuk and Allen themselves play pivotal on-screen roles — as themselves. This is a picture that breaks the fourth wall. Then the fifth, sixth and seventh.

REVIEWS

Layton’s inventiveness transforms even something as routine as an opening “based on” title card into a fresh and playful flourish. Against a black background, the line “This is not based on a true story” appears.

Seconds later, the words “not based on” vaporize, leaving the more daring implication: What you’re about to witness will pierce the membrane of movie entertainment and extract something deeper, something diseased.

That something is the story of four bright, talented, everyday young men who came to believe life owed them more than their surroundings appeared likely to cough up. Like most young men of their time and place, they’d watched too many movies.

So, after Reinhard discovers that his school’s rare-book collection — a trove of printed riches including John James Audubon’s mammoth The Birds of America — is worth millions, it isn’t long before he and the less stable, more alpha Lipka are spearheading the literary heist of the new century.

For which they prepare, naturally, by watching movies. These run the gamut from The Sting to Ocean’s Eleven to The Getaway to Reservoir Dogs. After that last one, colorcoded names are assigned as a security measure. A razor-sharp reference has nobody wanting to be Mr. Pink.

WILD LIFE Four bored college kids thrill-seek a shortcut to riches in Layton’s audacious narrative debut.

Fortunately, no one meets with a fate as bloody as that poor bastard’s. But almost anything that can go wrong does, and at the worst possible moments. Even subduing a middleaged librarian proves more challenging than expected, the dearth of crime films touching on the subject no doubt being to blame.

Layton’s script offers a penetrating take on upper-middle-class malaise and uses a bracingly original device to suggest the dread and second-guessing the four experience before and after their crime. Scenes featuring the actors planning and pulling off the robbery are interspersed with footage of the four real-life thieves providing play-by-play, letting the viewer in on what the friends were actu-

ally thinking and feeling at the time. Think I, Tonya with Harding herself addressing the camera. At one point, Peters and Lipka share the frame to seriously surreal effect.

Such meta touches make for an exhilarating, stylish and memorable moviegoing experience, in concert with William Davis’ dazzling art design (featuring striking use of Audubon’s avian imagery) and a coolly propulsive soundtrack curated by Anne Nikitin.

Not since A Clockwork Orange has the pack mentality of young males been examined this compellingly. And the gifted cast measures up to the comparison. These are quite literally scene-stealers.

Incredibles 2 ★★★★

I

n 2004, when Pixar’s The Incredibles was a smash hit, superheroes had yet to take over the blockbuster landscape.

Like the graphic novel Watchmen, Brad Bird’s animation found both comedy and commentary in imagining how ordinary Americans would really receive superhumans in their midst. Alarmed by the collateral damage of super-battles, the citizenry eventually makes it illegal for caped crusaders to use their powers, forcing crime-fighting spouses Bob/Mr. Incredible (voice of Craig T. Nelson) and Helen/Elastigirl (Holly Hunter) underground.

Not much has changed when the longawaited sequel opens — except the popcultural context. After more than a decade jam-packed with self-aware Marvel films and operatic DC ones, moviegoers are accustomed to seeing contemporary issues refracted through the bizarro prism of superhero sagas.

While film bloggers have spent the past 14 years arguing over whether The Incredibles is a covert Objectivist screed, the premise has lost its cheeky novelty. Incredibles 2 doesn’t accomplish much in terms of storytelling that the first film didn’t, but that doesn’t stop Bird’s follow-up from being visually glorious, witty and a lot of fun.

The sequel’s setup echoes that of its predecessor: Having run afoul of authorities, the super-family finds a well-heeled patron. The twist is that telecommunications billionaire

CALL OF DIAPER DUTY Mom saves the world while Dad stays home in Bird’s sequel to his animated superhero hit.

Winston Deavor (Bob Odenkirk) wants Helen out in front of the cameras, saving people.

Deemed too “messy” to produce the proper optics, Bob is relegated to staying home with the kids, Violet (Sarah Vowell), Dash (Huck Milner) and baby Jack-Jack (Eli Fucile).

Our muscle-bound hero isn’t happy with the role reversal, but Bird manages to keep corny “Mr. Incredible becomes Mr. Mom” jokes to a minimum. Bob tries earnestly to be a good parent, even as he grapples with JackJack’s new powers, which range in nature

from endearing to terrifying. Junior’s apocalyptic battle with a scavenging raccoon — while Dad dozes — harks back to the heights of classic cartoon slapstick.

Meanwhile, Helen stops a runaway train in an action sequence significantly more visually legible and nail-biting than most of its counterparts in live-action flicks. Given that all such set pieces are works of animation these days, there’s much to be said for the clarity and beauty the Pixar team provides, down to the wash of magic light. Equally

gorgeous and comprehensively imagined is the space-age mansion where the rest of the family has been stowed.

The train’s saboteur turns out to be a hacker with mind-control powers, a hatred of superheroes, and an anti-consumerist spiel worthy of “Mr. Robot”’s F-Society. By the time the mysterious “Screenslaver” is speaking through the mouths of hypnotized TV anchormen, it should be clear that the film has raised more issues than it can handle in any meaningful way.

Sure enough, tantalizing questions about gender roles, hero worship and civic responsibility eventually give way to a predictable reveal and a flurry of action, with new characters getting shortchanged in the process.

Like so many blockbusters generally, and sequels in particular, Incredibles 2 works desperately to please the entire audience, from folks who remember the New Math to tots. If it sacrifices a streamlined story and coherent thematics in the process, the snappy dialogue, strong characterizations and compelling visuals still put it way ahead of your average family flick.

Stylized designs and outlandish powers aside, Bob, Helen and their progeny still feel oddly real. It’s impossible not to empathize as the pair continues to discover that, as Edna Mode (voiced by director Bird) puts it, “parenting is a heroic act.”

RACHEL LIVES HERE NOW

REAL FREE WILL ASTROLOGY BY ROB BREZSNY JUNE 21-27

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22)

I suggest you ignore the temptation to shop around for new heroes and champions. It would only distract you from your main assignment in the coming weeks, which is to be more of a hero and champion yourself. Here are some tips to guide you as you slip beyond your overly modest self-image and explore the liberations that may be possible when you give yourself more credit. Tip 1: Finish outgrowing the old heroes and champions who’ve served you well. Tip 2: Forgive and forget the disappointing heroes and hypocritical champions who betrayed their own ideals. Tip 3: Exorcise your unwarranted admiration for mere celebrities who might have snookered you into thinking they’re heroes or champions.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Playwright and novelist Samuel Beckett won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1969. Four of his works were essential in earning that award: the play Waiting for Godot and the novels Molloy, Malone Dies and The Unnamable. Beckett wrote all of them in a two-year span during the late 1940s. During that time, he was virtually indigent. He and his companion Suzanne survived on the paltry wage she made as a dressmaker. We might draw the conclusion from his life story that it is at least possible for a person to accomplish great things despite having little money. I propose that we make Beckett your role model for the coming weeks, Gemini. May he inspire you to believe in your power to become the person you want to be no matter what your financial situation may be.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “A waterfall would be more impressive if it flowed the other way,” said Irish writer Oscar Wilde. Normally, I would dismiss an idea like this, even though it’s funny and I like funny ideas. Normally, I would regard such a negative assessment of the waterfall’s true nature, even in jest, to be unproductive and enfeebling. But none of my usual perspectives are in effect as I evaluate the possibility that Wilde’s declaration might be a provocative metaphor for your use in the coming weeks. For a limited time only, it might be wise to meditate on a waterfall that flows the other way.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Stage magicians

may seem to make a wine glass hover in midair, or transform salt into diamonds, or make

doves materialize and fly out of their hands.

It’s all fake, of course — tricks performed by skilled illusionists. But here’s a twist on the old story: I suspect that for a few weeks, you will have the power to generate effects that may, to the uninitiated, have a resemblance to magic tricks — except that your magic will be real, not fake. And you will have worked very hard to accomplish what looks easy and natural. And the marvels you generate will, unlike the illusionists’, be authentic and useful.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): The coming weeks will be a favorable time to accentuate and brandish the qualities that best exemplify your Libran nature. In other words, be extreme in your moderation. Be pushy in your attempts to harmonize. Be bold and brazen as you make supple use of your famous balancing act. I’ll offer you a further piece of advice, as well. My first astrology teacher believed that when Librans operate at peak strength, their symbol of power is the iron fist in the velvet glove: power expressed gracefully, firmness rendered gently. I urge you to explore the nuances of that metaphor.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): If I were your mom, I’d nudge you out the door and say, “Go play outside for a while!” If I were your commanding officer, I’d award you a shiny medal for your valorous undercover work and then order you to take a frisky sabbatical. If I were your psychotherapist, I would urge you to act as if your past had no further power to weigh you down or hold you back, and then I would send you out on a vision quest to discover your best possible future. In other words, my dear Scorpio, I hope you will flee your usual haunts. Get out of the loop and into the open spaces that will refresh your eyes and heart.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Sex ed-

ucation classes at some high schools employ a dramatic exercise to illustrate the possible consequences of engaging in heterosexual lovemaking without using birth control. Everywhere they go for two weeks, students must carry around a 10-pound bag of flour.

It’s a way for them to get a visceral approximation of caring for an infant. I recommend that you find or create an equivalent test or

trial for yourself in the coming days. As you consider entering into a deeper collaboration or making a stronger commitment, you’ll be wise to undertake a dress rehearsal.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Members of the Dull Men’s Club celebrate the ordinary.

“Glitz and glam aren’t worth the bother,” they declare. “Slow motion gets you there faster,” they pontificate. Showing no irony, they brag that they are “born to be mild.” I wouldn’t normally recommend becoming part of a movement like theirs, but the next two weeks will be one of those rare times when aligning yourself with their principles might be healthy and smart. If you’re willing to explore the virtues of simple, plain living, make the Swedish term lagom your word of power.

According to the Dull Men’s Club, it means “enough, sufficient, adequate, balanced, suitable, appropriate.”

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): In the Geor-

gian language, shemomechama is a word that literally means “I ate the whole thing.” It refers to what happens when you’re already full but find the food in front of you so delicious that you can’t stop eating. I’m concerned that you might soon be tempted to embark on metaphorical versions of shemomechama.

That’s why I’m giving you a warning to monitor any tendencies you might have to get too much of a good thing. Pleasurable and productive activities will serve you better if you stop yourself before you go too far.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Please do not send me a lock of your hair or a special piece of your jewelry or a $100 bill. I will gladly cast a love spell on your behalf without draining you of your hard-earned cash. The only condition I place on my free gift is that you agree to have me cast the love spell on you and you alone.

After all, your love for yourself is what needs the most work. And your love for yourself is the primary magic that fuels your success in connecting with other people. (Besides, it’s bad karma to use a love spell to interfere with another person’s will.) So if you accept my conditions, Pisces, demonstrate that you’re ready to receive my telepathic love spell by sending me your telepathic authorization.

SEVENDAYSVT.COM

ARIES (March 21-April 19): According to my analysis of the astrological omens, you have cosmic permission to enjoy extra helpings of waffles, crêpes, pancakes and blintzes. Eating additional pastries and doughnuts is also encouraged. Why? Because it’s high time for you to acquire more ballast. You need more gravitas and greater stability. You can’t afford to be top-heavy; you must be hard to knock over. If you would prefer not to accomplish this noble goal by adding girth to your butt and gut, find an alternate way. Maybe you could put weights on your shoes and think very deep thoughts.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You’re slipping into the wild heart of the season of discovery.

Your curiosity is mounting. Your listening skills are growing more robust. Your willingness to be taught and influenced and transformed is at a peak. And what smarter way to take advantage of this fertile moment than to decide what you most want to learn about during the next three years? For inspiration, identify a subject you’d love to study, a skill you’d eagerly stretch yourself to master and an invigorating truth that would boost your brilliance if you thoroughly embodied it.

FAT LADY SEEKING COSTCO MEMBER I’m really just looking for someone with a Costco membership so I can walk in the door with you and head over to its food court for some delicious chow. But if our relationship turns into something more than that, I guess that’s all right. churrofan, 32 SHY GIRL LOOKING FOR FUN I was in a long-term relationship that had to end, but now I’m looking for something much more casual. I’m a bit shy, which is why I am on here instead of attempting to talk to new people in person. BonnieBunnie, 30 COUNTRY AT HEART AND FREE I’m looking for a good guy who likes to eat, hang out, go fishing and camping, and enjoys my company. I love to please my man and make him happy.

Looking for the same. I grew up in the Burlington area and am of French and German descent. Oldergal, 63 THRILLS AND GIGGLES I am looking for distraction that includes fun, giggles, physical release and good company that doesn’t want too much. DBhastime, 48 MUSIC FOR MECHANICS 34 New to the area. Seeking good company.

I love rock and roll. Love my job, but dream of starting a farm-to-table community space. Health conscious.

Care a lot about environment and lifestyle. I have tons of interests and passions. Intelligent. Love teaching, learning and creating. Honest. No room for emotional immaturity or games. Friends first. TankGirl, 34, l

ACTIVE, LAKE LIFE AND SEX-POSITIVE I am trying to age well by making diet and exercise choices to promote health. I am looking for the same in a partner. I expect to engage intellectually and physically with you. I like a good storyteller (“The Moth,” “This American Life”) so I hope you can tell me some stories. curiousme, 56, l I’VE BEEN CALLED HOT LATELY I am becoming an electrician and in the process have learned I am “hot.”

Being somewhat of an intellectual, this comes as a bit of a shock (figuratively, fortunately), but I think perhaps now is the time for romance. I am a romantic and a pagan (consensual adult sex is good/sacred), so good luck, and may the force be with you. TallGalElectrician, 40, l SUMMER AT LAST! I can appreciate your kindness, compassion and sense of humor.

Being quirky and goofy is definitely acceptable. :) While I enjoy volunteering in the community and going to events, I also enjoy time alone to work on projects, read and make art. Join me for some traveling, biking, kayaking or live music. BirdsEyeView, 30, l FRIENDS PLUS SOME? Although I’m very interested in finding a partner to share my time with, I’m also very interested in having some of my sexual needs met, too. It’s been years since I’ve had a partner perform oral sex on me. I’m interested in meeting new people. If there’s a sexual connection, even better. Itsmyturn4once, 36, l

BUMBLE NIGHTMARE We met in April on Bumble and hit it off at Three Needs. We fell for each other, or so I thought. Now you’ve pushed me away.

SCARLETTLETTERS Dear Scarlett,

I am middle-aged and have never been married.

I was dating a man for about a year and was convinced that he was the one. A few months ago, he started talking to me about his fantasy to have sex with total strangers. He kept pressuring me to “make his fantasies a reality” and got angry when I said no. It made me feel inadequate and confused, and it seemed high risk. I tried to keep the relationship going, but he broke up with me recently, saying I led him on. I still love him, but I don’t understand what happened. Should I try to get him back?

Signed,

Fatal Fantasy (female, 43)

Dear Fatal Fantasy,

It sounds like you dodged a bullet. Breakups are always difficult, especially when you’re blindsided by them. And sexual manipulation from someone you love can be confusing and painful. It’s easy to blame yourself.

You need to gain a realistic perspective of your ex.

Anyone who pressures you to do things you do not want to do, especially sexually, is not someone with whom you want to be intimate. Coercion comes in all forms. His behavior was coercive, plain and simple.

Begin the work of moving on. Instead of indulging your own romantic fantasies about how great things were, remember how he broke the trust, devalued you and crushed your self-esteem.

Restart your life, hour by hour, with simple pleasures. Binge-watch a series with a pint of Ben & Jerry’s, or get into a good book. Take a trip, if you can. Remind yourself of how big the world is and how small he is. Exercise and long walks can help calm your nerves and elevate your mood. Focus on friendships you may have neglected.

Most importantly, do not try to get him back, and do not lower your standards for a rebound. There’s a saying: “Nothing gets you over the last one like the next one.” But making bad choices can put you in an even deeper hole. Work on yourself right now, and make that “next one” a great one.

Love,

Scarlett
