I would give 10 stars if I could!! I’ve been coming to Glow Aesthetics semi-regularly for the past couple of years and had different treatments from brow waxing and tinting, to hydrafacials, VI peel, Botox and laser hair removal. Each provider is courteous, kind and just all-around friendly and super helpful. If you ever want (or need) to have any of these services (and more) done, I can’t recommend Glow enough.

JUNE 15-22, 2022 COMPILED BY SASHA GOLDSTEIN & MATTHEW ROY COLIN FLANDERS

NO KISSING BABIES! Congressional candidate Sen. Becca Balint tested positive for COVID-19 and planned to isolate at home for several days. She’ll be back.

UNSAFE SPACE N

urses from the University of Vermont Medical Center staged a press conference last Thursday to make a public plea of their bosses: Protect us. They described an alarming array of physical and verbal attacks against nurses and other staff, which hospital data show have occurred an average of 60 times a month this year.

Roughly half of those incidents happened inside the emergency department, where staff have been strangled, spit on, threatened with weapons and even had bones broken, the nurses said. During a shift last week, three ED nurses were assaulted, and each required medical attention.

The attacks, while not unheard of before the pandemic, have become far more common during it, the nurses said, and yet hospital leaders have responded with only empty promises. The nurses demanded action — and fast.

“Workplace safety is the responsibility of our employer,” nurse Eisha Lichtenstein said. “We do not feel that the UVMMC administration has done everything in its power to protect us.”

UVM Medical Center president and COO Dr. Stephen Leffler, who has worked in the emergency department his entire three-decade career, confirmed that the hospital has seen a “huge” increase in violence over the last few years.

?? ? ? ??

true802

UVM emergency department nurses Amanda Young, Megan Martin and Eisha Lichtenstein

He said the hospital was committed to making the emergency department safer and was already working to fulfill many of the nurses’ requests. But he said it may take time due to staffing shortages.

“It breaks my heart,” he said. “I worry about it every day.

I’m losing sleep worrying about this. I want our staff to feel completely safe when they come to work.” He added, “We are taking this seriously.”

While some violent patients suffer from mental health or substance-use issues, many others are acting “out of frustration, anger and entitlement,” said Amanda Young, an ED nurse.

Noting that the Burlington Police Department routinely reports that it cannot immediately respond to incidents at the hospital because of staffing woes, the nurses want the hospital to beef up its own security presence.

They called for armed officers and demanded that the hospital turn on a metal detector that has been collecting dust for months.

However, the hospital has to hire security officers to fill out its 36-member force. The hospital says it also wants to staff the ED with police. But local agencies are suffering from their own staffing problems. “None of them have the manpower,” Leffler said.

THAT’S SO VERMONT

STAPLES FOR SENIORS Burlington-based Helping and Nurturing Diverse Seniors, aka HANDS, recently received a $3,500 grant from Age Well, northwestern Vermont’s area agency on aging, for a new effort to reach previously underserved seniors within the BIPOC and New American communities. Over the past 22 years, the nonprofit has provided food and created cooking and gardening programs for Chittenden County seniors who are low-income.

The HANDS Diverse Pantry pilot will collaborate with community partners to source and distribute a wider range of culturally appropriate ingredients than traditionally offered through the charitable food system.

For example, the program may facilitate delivery of Vermont-grown African eggplant or Himalayan rice, as well as spices sourced from small, local markets.

“COVID brought so much to the surface about racial justice and equity,” HANDS executive director Megan Humphrey said.

“It made us even more aware we needed to embrace different seniors.”

Since the pandemic struck, research has found that food insecurity is at least five times as likely to affect households that identify as BIPOC or Hispanic.

HANDS is working closely with Feeding Chittenden and the Vermont Foodbank, which have been sourcing a greater variety of foods over the past several years.

Julia MacGibeny, Feeding Chittenden’s

access center manager, said the HANDS Diverse Pantry will help fill a gap. In order to build a more respectful, stigma-free charitable food system, MacGibeny said, it’s important to know who you’re serving and to “focus on [foods] people want, not on just what we have.”

While younger members of a New American household might acclimate fairly quickly to a Western diet, Humphrey said, seniors are often more comfortable with familiar foods.

“It’s about getting them food that they miss,” Humphrey said. “Food evokes memories and connections. It’s a really important thing.”

WESTFORD, WHOA

I read your Seven Days article “Raising Homes” featuring our town, Westford [June 15]. Many of us in town feel that the construction of a municipal wastewater system will negatively impact the lovely rural town we have now. In fact, a municipal wastewater system coupled with the current zoning in the town center will completely change our town’s character.

This fact was brought to light recently by a project the Westford Planning Commission has been promoting called the 1705 Project. The Planning Commission developed and presented to the town a conceptual plan for a three-building, multiunit housing project to be built within a few feet of the town’s only major highway, Route 128.

There is an abundance of state and federal dollars available right now. However, unless the character of Vermont is preserved, we will lose the essence of what we love about the place. Westford is a rural gem in the middle of significant development in Chittenden County. We see our Planning Commission chasing grant money that’s contrary to our vision of a rural town.

Please take a look at our Keeping Westford Rural website. Please watch the video “Keeping Westford Rural Part 2.” In this video, you will understand how the proposed municipal wastewater system will change Westford.

ABOUT MOLLY

On June 13, Seven Days and two other media outlets published pieces examining alleged “red-boxing” on Sen. Becca Balint’s web page [“Balint’s Campaign Site Appears to Use Questionable ‘RedBoxing,’” online]. Were they unknowingly part of a carefully executed negative campaign strategy by Lt. Gov. Molly Gray?

It would seem so, as two days later the campaign sent a breathless, hyperbolic fundraising email with links to the three articles, warning that “dark money will flood the airwaves and drown out the voices of Vermonters” and “crypto billionaires” will subvert the election.

Balint’s campaign responded to concerns about the information in the “About Becca” page on her website by taking it down, and she had already agreed to denounce any super PAC support, even if she can’t actually stop it. In contrast, one could argue that Gray has peddled influence much more directly and unapologetically via her personal fundraising calls to

D.C. lobbyists, and she says she’ll keep doing it [“In Vermont’s U.S. House Race, D.C. Insiders, Lobbyists Sign Up for Team Molly Gray,” May 18].

I wholeheartedly wish our campaign finance system were designed to prevent the peddling of influence. That’s not the case, and it’s near impossible to define which campaign supports are truly unconditional, if any. Ultimately, that’s up to the candidate, so what matters most to me is how candidates communicate their values and show results. The Gray campaign’s three-step strategy to sling mud as we approach the next fundraising deadline is not something a candidate in a strong position and with authentic relationships with Vermonters would do.

As a politically engaged woman who has been awaiting this moment for decades, I know who I want representing me.

LAND GRAB?

While the “Promised Lands” cover story [June 8] paints a beautiful picture of Vermont and its history, it fails to talk about wealth hoarding in the form of landownership. It doesn’t once mention the Abenaki or other Indigenous groups in the area who had their land stolen.

If the goal is to preserve, conserve and respect the land, then why not give it back to the people who originally stewarded it? Vermont Land Trust is a white-led, wealthy nonprofit that gets put on a

A longtime city resident and former city councilor is hit by a fragment caused by gunfire while sitting in his Old North End yard, directly across from a public park.

And in Seven Days, this rates an “Emoji That” [“Neighborhood Watch Out,” June 8], next to a tweet about a mayonnaise shortage?

Full disclosure: The victim is a dear friend. But even if he were not, I would have expected this incident, coming in the throes of a national debate on gun violence, to be treated with much more gravity by Seven Days.

You might, for example, investigate whether similar gunfire incidents have increased since the city police department was downsized and whether city FEEDBACK

CORRECTIONS

Last week’s Magnificent 7 incorrectly listed the date of an event.

“Come Dance With Us!,” an outdoor collaboration between the Vermont Dance Alliance and Jeh Kulu, takes place on July 16.

Last week’s cover story, “Raising Homes,” mischaracterized the age of the building in which the Westford Country Store and Café is housed.

The store was completed in fall 2020.

A February 16 story, “Local Commotion: National Divisions on Race and Equity Are Roiling Vermont School Boards,” misidentified Ben Morley’s opponent in a March election for the board of the Lake Region Union High School. Morley ran against David Blodgett, who won.

Vote for your name here!

School of Hard Knocks

A record number of Vermont public officials decided not to seek reelection this year, for myriad reasons, only some of which are knowable. Frankly, I’m amazed that so many people find the courage to run in the first place.

My own experience with electoral politics was early, brief and disastrous. As a sixth grader at Carderock Springs Elementary School in Bethesda, Md., I proposed that we should have a student council.

Having advanced the idea, I also thought I should be in charge of it.

But there was the small matter of running for and winning the presidency.

I announced my candidacy for the top job by going from classroom to classroom, distributing free candy and low-rent, constructionpaper “Vote for Paula” buttons affixed with safety pins.

I can’t recall my “platform” — likely something along the lines of longer recesses and better toilet paper. What I do remember is that a few weeks into the campaign, I suddenly had an opponent: a quiet boy named Remi who had never exhibited the slightest interest in leading his classmates to anything.

Remi’s dad, however, worked for then-president Richard Nixon. One morning, in 1972, I walked into school and found the halls plastered with life-size “Peanuts”-themed campaign cartoon strips, promoting Remi.

For the “convention” assembly, at which we’d both give speeches, he produced real, professional buttons and campaign signs. I had choreographed a dance routine in which I joined a few friends onstage to spell out the letters of my first name.

After the performance, I was supposed to speak. But the crowd was already in a lather for Remi.

Faced with a sea of bobbing signs for my opponent, I stepped up to the mic at the podium, burst into tears and ran offstage. Not surprisingly, I lost the election.

I’m sure some people thought I deserved the comeuppance. Before this incident, I was a confident and assertive girl with “leadership skills,” as my teachers always phrased it. Defeat was a lesson I needed to learn.

But I was 11, and it was a serious blow — though good preparation for publishing a newspaper in the digital age. I attribute a lifelong fear of public speaking to the mix of shame and humiliation I felt that day.

gun violence in schools — and raise the question of whether more are needed.

Eighty-three school-related threats were reported to the Vermont Intelligence Center by law enforcement agencies and school districts during the past school year, according to data from the Vermont State Police. That figure is up from 55 in 2018-19 — the most recent academic year that wasn’t upended by the COVID-19 pandemic — and more than triple the figure from this past academic year, when many schools relied on hybrid instruction.

The increase this year doesn’t surprise Robert Evans, a state police veteran who serves as school safety liaison officer for

the state. Evans, a consultant for Margolis Healy, which specializes in campus safety and security, works with the Vermont Agency of Education and the Department of Public Safety.

In the early days of COVID-19, Evans said, active shooter incidents in schools, workplaces and public places fell off nationally as people went into lockdown.

But safety experts expected an uptick in worrisome behavior as students returned to school full time, bringing with them mental and emotional baggage stemming from the pandemic. That prediction, Evans said, has come true.

t was an unsettling finale to a tumultuous school year.

On May 17, Montpelier police received a call that a student from Montpelier High School had been talking about actions he would take if he were to “shoot up the school.” The 18-year-old, who was known to keep a handgun and bullets in his car, also said he needed to upgrade to an AK-47 assault rifle for hunting.

Police determined that what he said didn’t amount to an active threat, but they worked with the Washington County state’s attorney to seek a special c o u r t o r d e r, known as an extreme risk protection order, that would enable them to confiscate the student’s weapons. By that evening, the order was granted and officers seized two firearms and ammunition from the student’s home.

Fifty miles away, a little more than two weeks later, the Orleans County Sheriff’s Department was told that a Lake Region Union High School student had made multiple threats of violence on social media targeting the school and specific students. The student, a minor, was taken into custody overnight and charged the next day in family court with domestic terrorism and criminal threatening.

Finally, last week in Canaan, a judge approved an extreme risk protection order against Shane Gobeil, who told police that if there were transgender people or drag queens at his daughter’s school, he would kill them, according to a Vermont State Police affidavit. Earlier that day, Gobeil was overheard at a New Hampshire grocery store making similar comments.

The three incidents capped a fraught school year in Vermont — marked by pandemic-related disruptions and deepening political polarization — that saw a record number of reported threats of school violence. Coming alongside the devastating mass shooting at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, on May 24, the recent cases refocus a spotlight on measures Vermont has taken to prevent

Eight companies in the Upper Valley have committed more than $7 million to a fund to help developers build more apartments in New Hampshire and Vermont.

The goal is to address a housing shortage that is making it difficult for companies to find staff and is hurting the economy, said Clay Adams, president and CEO of Mascoma Bank, one of the contributors. The fund will lend at an interest rate of just 1.5 percent over 15 years.

Some of the companies involved, including Mascoma, have a social mission, but Adams said the impetus was economic.

“The housing market is not functioning in a healthy manner, and this is the way these businesses felt they could help create more housing for the employees they need to hire,” he said.

The fund is expected to produce an additional 260 rental homes available for people earning 50 to 80 percent of the area median income, or from $13 to $25 an hour. The housing will be multifamily developments. In return for the low-cost, flexible financing, developers will have to accept deed restrictions limiting how much they can charge for the rental units.

Evernorth, a nonprofit housing and community development organization that serves northern New England, is managing the fund. Evernorth’s goal is to raise $10 million and to identify projects for funding by the end of the year, said Deb Flannery, vice president of lending at the Burlington-based organization.

The region, home to Dartmouth College and the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, has some of the highest housing costs in Vermont and New Hampshire.

A recent study created by White River Junction nonprofit Vital Communities found that the area needs 10,000 new homes by 2030 to meet demand. About 230 units of housing have been added each year over the last 10 years, Adams said.

Employers in the region have long talked about its labor shortage, Adams said.

Dartmouth College and Dartmouth Health are also participating in the fund, as are King Arthur Baking; the Lebanon, N.H., manufacturer Hypertherm; the Co-op Food Stores in Hanover, N.H.; Citizens Bank; and Bar Harbor Bank & Trust. m

A Vermont drug company’s failure to maintain standards led to recalls — and its demise

A

Vermont pharmaceutical company with a history of defying safety regulations closed last month amid mounting pressure from federal inspectors who accused it of selling potentially contaminated drugs to health care facilities nationwide.

The closure left dozens of people without jobs and has raised questions about why Vermont regulators, who were aware of problems at Colchester-based Edge Pharma, did not intervene.

As a licensed pharmaceutical compounder, Edge made and sold dozens of non-U.S. Food & Drug Administration approved drugs, including those used for chemotherapy.

THE VERMONT COMPANY RAN AFOUL OF FEDERAL REGULATORS ALMOST IMMEDIATELY.

Drug compounding — combining, mixing or altering ingredients to create a custom medication — has ancient roots.

For centuries, pharmacists have tailored medications to suit individual patients, tweaking dosages, removing certain ingredients or changing flavors.

The company was subject to strict federal regulations meant to ensure that injectable drugs are produced in a sterile environment, lest they be contaminated with potentially deadly bacteria. But Edge was cited for breaking those federal regulations repeatedly over the years, FDA records show, and continued to do so even after its founder and CEO, Bill Chatoff, became chair of the Vermont Board of Pharmacy, which regulates drug-compounding facilities in the state.

In summer 2021, members of the FDA’s Office of Criminal Investigations began discreetly interviewing former Edge employees about what they saw during their time at the Colchester facility, according to several of those employees who requested anonymity because the investigators told them not to discuss the matter. (No criminal charges have been filed.)

But while a number of state regulator agencies joined the feds in raising concerns about Edge and two formally sanctioned the company last year, Vermont took no public action, instead allowing Chatoff to remain in a regulatory role responsible for judging alleged violations at other pharmaceutical companies.

The state Office of Professional Regulation’s legal counsel, Gabe Gilman, declined to answer questions about Edge, citing a Vermont law that prevents OPR from discussing companies that have no pending charges against them. He said the office has the authority to take emergency action against companies deemed an immediate risk to public safety.

“You can infer from the absence of any summary proceeding against someone that prosecutors did not see an immediate threat,” he said.

The FDA’s concerns came to a head last fall, when investigators found unsanitary conditions and lackluster quality-control efforts that convinced them the company could not guarantee the safety of its drugs. In early December, FDA officials requested that Edge voluntarily recall all of its products, and the company did.

Chatoff eventually relented to the FDA’s demands that he keep Edge closed after the recall until the agency could confirm its compliance. He furloughed all but a few dozen of Edge’s 100-plus employees and tasked a skeleton crew with monthslong remediation efforts.

The feds weren’t satisfied. Last month, the FDA sought a legal injunction to prevent Edge from reopening without its consent, citing Chatoff’s “history of failing to heed FDA’s warnings.”

Before a judge could review a proposed settlement, Chatoff closed the company.

Reached by a Seven Days reporter earlier this month, Chatoff immediately hung up.

“Regretfully I will need to shut down Edge Pharma as of today,” he wrote in an email to employees on May 31. He blamed “FDA timelines and cash constraints.”

Vermont Law School Plans to Expand Its Offerings B Y R AC H E L H E L L M AN rhellman@sevendaysvt.com

SEVEN DAYS JUNE 22-29, 2022

SARAH CRONIN

Vermont Law School is pivoting to become a graduate institution as part of a plan to boost enrollment and broaden its interdisciplinary offerings.

The school — which is changing its name to Vermont Law and Graduate School — has produced a stream of lawyers who have shaped policy and the legal landscape in Vermont. But it has struggled during the past decade with declining enrollment. The class of 2021 was made up of 174 students, and the class of 2020 had only 134.

In 2018, the school took the controversial step of revoking the tenure of 75 percent of its faculty as part of restructuring efforts.

Now, it’s using an anonymous $8 million donation, the largest gift in its nearly 50-year history, to support both new initiatives and signature environmental programs.

The school will offer three new degrees: a master’s in climate and environmental policy and a master’s in animal protection policy will be offered to both residential and online students; and an executive master’s in environmental policy will be online only.

The administration solicited input from more than 60 faculty, staff and alumni to shape the strategic plan, ultimately deciding to favor robust environmental policy programs and hybrid learning options.

“This reflects a growing interest from students in modern, progressive, cross-disciplinary approaches to their education, and it builds on our recognized strength in environmental law and policy, and justice reform,” said Jenny Rushlow, interim graduate school dean, at a press conference on Tuesday.

The school, based in bucolic, rural South Royalton, plans to bolster its presence in Burlington, Rushlow said.

The Queen City will host its hybrid JD program, immigration clinic, admissions office and national center on restorative justice.

Few reports of school threats lead to an arrest or an extreme risk protection order, or ERPO, Evans said. A lot of the time, “this is an opportunity for us to get help for students that really need help,” he said. “[Our] ultimate goal is to bring them back into the educational community safely.”

In the cases in Montpelier, Orleans and Canaan, though, the alleged threats were deemed significant enough for legal action.

The trajectory of those cases might have looked much different had Vermont not passed a slate of gun-control laws four years ago.

The historic legislation came on the heels of the mass school shooting in Parkland, Fla., in February 2018 and, days later, the unrelated arrest of an 18-year-old Vermonter, Jack Sawyer, who authorities said had plotted an elaborate armed assault on Fair Haven Union High School. The plan was thwarted after a fellow student tipped off authorities.

Gov. Phil Scott, a Republican, said that incident convinced him to change his mind to support some new gun restrictions.

Scott signed a so-called red flag law that allows Vermont prosecutors to petition a judge for an ERPO, which is intended to prevent someone deemed a threat to themself or others from purchasing or possessing a firearm. In Vermont, an ERPO enables law enforcement officers to seize guns for up to six months — longer if the order is renewed. Nineteen states and the District of Columbia have such laws, and most allow family or household members to submit an ERPO petition. In Vermont, only a prosecutor can do so.

Orders in response to reported school threats remain rare in Vermont. But in a community forum held on June 9 to discuss the Montpelier High School incident, Montpelier Police Chief Brian Peete said the situation was “the ideal application” of the ERPO law. Peete acknowledged that authorities lacked probable cause to arrest the student who had made the comments about guns, but said seizing his weapons was appropriate. The student, whose status at the school has not been made public, was also added to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System database, which prevents him from purchasing another firearm until the protection order expires.

“Within the span of a little over five hours, we were able to mitigate a potential threat,” Peete said.

In Canaan, a police search of Gobeil’s residence didn’t turn up any weapons, but he told officers that he wanted to

purchase an AK-47, according to the Vermont State Police affidavit. Though Gobeil, 36, had a 2015 conviction for second-degree assault in New Hampshire, officials determined he was still eligible to purchase a firearm.

Essex County State’s Attorney Vincent Illuzzi confirmed that the Canaan schools have transgender students and was granted an ERPO against Gobeil during an emergency hearing. Canaan canceled its final two days of school because of the incident.

WITHIN THE SPAN OF A LITTLE OVER FIVE HOURS,

WE WERE ABLE TO MITIGATE A POTENTIAL THREAT. MO NTP E L IE R P O L IC E C H I EF BR IAN P E E TE

Gobeil’s ERPO was extended to six months during a hearing on June 15.

He also faces misdemeanor harassment charges in New Hampshire, stemming from comments made at the grocery store. According to New Hampshire court documents, Gobeil had been issued a no-trespass notice by the Canaan school district on June 7 after confronting students, parents and staff for wearing face masks on multiple occasions.

Illuzzi, who has been a state’s attorney since 1999, said Gobeil’s case marks the first time he has sought an ERPO. “I didn’t even know there were forms available,” Illuzzi said.

In Orleans, the Lake Region Union High School student likely would have faced different consequences had the state’s domestic terrorism laws not been updated in 2018, months before Scott signed the gun-control package. After state senators heard Fair Haven students testify following the threat against their school, lawmakers moved to expand the definition of domestic terrorism to include situations in which someone takes “substantial steps” that show they intend to kill multiple people.

Senate Judiciary Committee chair Dick Sears (D-Bennington) told Vermont Public Radio at the time that he believed an expansion of the law would help hold more people accountable.

Because the Orleans student is a minor, the case is being handled in family court and lawyers are barred from discussing it publicly, according to Orleans County State’s Attorney Jennifer Barrett, the prosecutor. But Barrett did confirm to Seven Days that no ERPO had been filed.

In an emailed statement on June 3, a day after the student was arrested, Barrett said she was pursuing the domestic terrorism charge because her office “will not tolerate threats made to the schools

Ad paid for by BHAKTA Spirits and students within this county.” The Orleans incident appears to be the first time a Vermont student has been charged with the crime.

A task force convened in 2019 following the Fair Haven plot developed a list of 38 recommendations for preventing violence in schools and communities.

The proposal mostly avoided discussion of gun control and instead recommended more funding for mental health services and suicide prevention, expanded social and emotional learning programs in schools, and school district training in how to assess threats.

A school threat tip line, one of the recommended safeguards, was established nine months ago. Evans, who was on the task force, said it might be time to dust off the report and consider implementing other measures.

One recommendation that is of special interest to state leaders is a broad implementation of behavioral threat assessment, in which school counselors, administrators and teachers discuss worrisome behavior to determine whether they represent a credible threat of violence. Some school districts use the technique, and around 300 Vermont school employees have gone through threat-assessment training. The state plans to offer more sessions in the late summer or early fall. Evans said the Vermont Agency of Education is talking about making the training mandatory.

Some in Vermont say that even after the package of laws Scott signed in 2018, more needs to be done. Among them is student activist Maddie Ahmadi, a rising senior at Essex High School.

She is on the national advisory board of Students Demand Action, a group founded by the nonprofit Everytown for Gun Safety following the Parkland shooting.

The day after the Uvalde tragedy, Ahmadi organized a school walkout to grieve for the 19 students and two teachers who were killed and to call for changes, including to state and federal law.

Earlier this year, Scott declined to completely close the “Charleston loophole,” which enables people to purchase firearms when background checks take too long to complete. Further, Vermont is the only New England state without a secure-storage law for firearms. Ahmadi said that indicates Vermont could do more.

Ahmadi welcomes summer and is also relieved to have a respite from school, where she said she and fellow students could face a threat on any given day.

That, she said, is just “the sad reality” for students today. m

THE WHISKEY EXORCISM PT. II: FATHER STEVEN’S RESCUE he exorcism of a possessed, pig-decapitating, and whiskey-swigging ten-year-old Poultney schoolchild, Eli Wiggins—whose tale of woe was detailed in last week’s Chronicle—has terrified a great many of our loyal readers. To any offended by my indelicacy with the written word, I do apologize.

Young Master Wiggins is on the mend and has asked me to personally thank all readers who have kept him in their thoughts and prayers. Mrs. Wiggins has requested that well-wishers respect their family’s privacy in this challenging time.

Onward we go. Our tale last left off with Headmaster of Griswold (H.O.G.) Raj Peter Bhakta’s siege of an ancient tomb—whereupon he dispelled a goodly number of demons, appearing to strike at the very heart of the evil that had been bedeviling the village of Poultney and had possessed Master Wiggins’ soul. When the smoke had cleared within the sepulcher, as you recall, Mr. Bhakta announced his discovery of a great many barrels of aged Armagnac brandy valued at quite a supreme sum. But as Father Stanley rushed to the tomb with his snifter aloft to seek a promised first dram, a surviving goblin endeavored to grab him by the frock and sink its gnarled teeth into his head, causing quite a number of punctures and indeed managing to chew loose a hearty serving of earlobe.

Father Stanley’s attempts to beat the goblin on the schnoz with his bejeweled rosary proved fruitless—and it was all I could do to fumble in my overcoat for my pistol and begin firing. Due to my recurring bouts of delirium tremens, unfortunately, my hands were a tad unsteady—and while I caused the affrighted goblin to head for the hills, I also unexpectedly shot Father Stanley. I cradled him in my arms as he expired from his wounds. Before taking his dying breath, he gazed sternly into my eyes and said “A savior will come soon to rescue you and Mr. Bhakta. No man knows the hour. However, such grace you do not deserve, Mr. Withey, as I know on good authority that you and the Griswold Librarian, Violet Montgomery, have been sharing a marital bed without the Lord’s blessing of matrimony.

Good-bye and good riddance, Phineas.”

Just then did Mr. Bhakta exit the tomb, rolling before him a great many of the remarkably ancient brandy barrels which he would soon release under the BHAKTA label. “Phineas, my apprentice, will you kindly assist me with these spirits?

We must roll them to Griswold and pour them in celebration for the townsfolk at once.”

His eyes darted to the dead priest in my arms.

“You killed Father Stanley? Phineas, that is not good,” said Mr. Bhakta. “It is not good at all.” I apologized profusely, blamed my shaky hands, and humbly requested to cure my tremens with a taste of Mr. Bhakta’s newly discovered 1888—but just then I sensed a rustling in the tall grass.

From between the ghastly fronds appeared a pig with blood-soaked tusks, and then three further hogs, and then seven, and then too many of the creatures to count, each more menacing than the last. At once we were surrounded on all sides.

Foot by foot, hoof over hoof, the hogs closed in around us with a chorus of depraved growls. Just as all hope of escape seemed finally dashed, I noticed a splendid hot air balloon drifting in from the north. Dangling from its basket was the most enormous rosary I’d ever seen and from it hung a priest setting forth to parachute to our aid. I knew our savior at once: Father Steven, the only man holy and daring enough to undertake such a mission.

Mr. Bhakta kept the pigs at bay with his bare fisticuffs and bootheel as Father Steven made a spectacular entrance, descending from the skies in a shaft of Christly light. He stopped to pay his respects to Father Stanley’s corpse, say a few words, and pray for his understudy’s eternal soul.

“Glad you could join us, Father,” said the good H.O.G. “I see you really took your time.”

“My hot air balloon flies high, but not as high as heaven,” replied Father. “And any way, allow me to get to business exorcising these hogs so we can bring these brandy barrels back to my cathedral. You didn’t think salvation came for free, did you?”

news Side Effects « P.15 compounding pharmacies modified medicines for people who, for instance, struggled to swallow pills or were allergic to certain ingredients.

Compounding evolved over time into a more profitable enterprise. As hospitals began outsourcing their own operations to save money, some pharmacies grew into mini manufacturers, hawking drugs to health care facilities across the country.

Regulators failed to keep pace with the changes. Compounders were subject to state law, but state boards of pharmacy lacked resources and rarely took action against unsafe facilities. And unlike traditional drugmakers, whose products are approved by the FDA, compounders were not obligated to report problems to the agency or open their records to federal inspectors.

Regulatory shortcomings came into sharp relief in 2012, when a meningitis outbreak that sickened hundreds and killed at least 75 people was linked to an injectable steroid produced at the New England Compounding Center.

The Massachusetts firm’s former owner was sentenced last year to 14 years in federal prison and ordered to pay restitution of $82 million. The company’s former chief pharmacist received a 10-year prison sentence.

The FDA said after the deaths that it lacked power to police the compounder.

In response, Congress passed a law in 2013 granting the agency greater oversight.

As the New England Compounding Center scandal unfolded, Chatoff was looking for his next venture. A trained nuclear pharmacist, Chatoff, alongside his father and brother, had founded and run a Floridabased company called PharmaLogic in the early ’90s that produced radioactive materials used to diagnose and treat certain diseases, but he left the organization in late 2012.

Chatoff saw in the 2013 compounding law “an opportunity,” according to a post on Edge’s Facebook page. His business sense proved solid: In January 2014, the FDA encouraged hospitals to purchase compounded drugs from registered facilities, since they had come under increased oversight.

Edge registered with the FDA a week later.

QUICK GROWTH

Edge ran afoul of federal regulators almost immediately.

Investigators noticed at Edge’s first inspection in 2014 that it had failed to test to confirm that its sterile clean rooms would keep out contaminants. The 18

Edge Pharma building in Colchester

company also wasn’t adequately monitoring environmental conditions, nor was it properly testing drugs for sterility or strength, according to a post-inspection report.

The FDA’s acting New England district director followed up a year later in a letter that said the “serious deficiencies” could put patients at risk.

Edge was far from alone in its noncompliance; dozens of compounding facilities received warning letters or problematic inspections during the first few years of the FDA’s new regulatory posture. And while Edge would be cited for serious deficiencies in three more FDA inspections over the next five years, the company continued to operate unimpeded.

Edge experienced quick success during its first five years, steadily increasing the number of states in which it was allowed to sell drugs while carrying out a $1.5 million expansion to boost production fivefold. In 2020, Vermont awarded the company a $62,000 workforce development grant.

Interviews with former employees suggest the growth came at a cost.

One former lab technician who prepared drugs for shipment said he filled a few hundred syringes per day when the company first opened. Several years later, people in that role were expected to produce up to four times that amount.

Process efficiencies explained some, but not all, of the increase, he said.

“We were told they were basically timing our lunch and bathroom breaks down to the second,” said the employee, who requested anonymity out of fear that Chatoff might sue him. “There was a constant pressure to make sure products were going out the door.”

That extended to the employees responsible for inspecting finished products for possible contamination, according to a different technician on the postproduction side, who also requested anonymity out of fear of a lawsuit from Chatoff.

Compounding facilities must save samples from every batch. If they receive complaints, they can run tests to validate their safety. That tech said floor managers sometimes instructed him to swap out expensive chemotherapy drugs that failed visual inspection with samples from the same batch meant for retention. Instead of using the retention area as a safety net, “They were just using it like a bank,” he said — “deposit a negative sample and take out a good one.”

Tension between management and rank-and-file staff boiled over in the spring of 2020 after lab technicians and clean room staff were told to spray down the facility using a chlorine-based cleaner without the proper protective equipment, resulting in numerous people seeking medical attention, according to both technicians.

The Vermont Occupational Safety and Health Administration eventually fined the company $8,000 for several related workplace violations.

RECALLS

A manila envelope arrived at the Vermont Office of Professional Regulation in early April 2021 addressed to the Board of Pharmacy executive officer, Carrie Phillips. It was postmarked from Vermont with no return address.

The envelope contained a copy of a January 22, 2021, letter that the FDA had sent to Chatoff admonishing Edge for producing a type of medication without the appropriate federal license, as well as a 20-page complaint from California’s board of pharmacy dated February 17, 2021, that accused Edge of violating federal laws in connection with several recent drug recalls Edge had made.

OPR staff were already aware of concerns surrounding Edge. State inspectors regularly attended FDA inspections at the Colchester facility, including one in March 2020 that resulted in 14 violations, and California had notified Vermont officials months earlier that it was building a disciplinary case.

Vermont, too, may have been looking into Edge when the file arrived. “Talk about weird coincidences?” the pharmacy board’s Phillips wrote in an email to a member of the office’s investigative team, forwarding the documents.

In July 2021, when seeking to renew Edge’s license in Vermont, Chatoff was asked in a form whether the company was facing disciplinary charges in any other state. He was also asked whether Edge had

there. And in early August 2021, just days after Edge received its renewed Vermont license, a California investigator flew across the country to inspect the company.

That investigator documented a “copious” number of insects, some of which were near the facility’s clean rooms. He also took issue with Edge’s cleaning and labeling methods. California immediately filed a cease-and-desist order barring Edge from distributing any more drugs in that state.

Contesting the order during a virtual hearing before the California State Board of Pharmacy that same month, Chatoff argued that the inspector singled out the worst areas of a 40,000-square-foot facility that was otherwise very clean. He said what the inspector observed posed no risk to the public.

There is no evidence that Chatoff used his position on the Board of Pharmacy to influence the decision. Seven Days asked Chatoff ’s Boston-based lawyer, David Lazarus, about the application in a series of written questions about Edge’s problems but got no response.

Phillips did not respond to interview requests. Gilman, the OPR attorney, declined to comment on Edge’s license renewal, but he said that, speaking broadly, OPR staff cannot withhold licenses based on potential application errors alone. If OPR deems that there’s no immediate risk to the public, the disciplinary process “can take quite a bit of time,” Gilman said. “The license is renewed while that process plays itself out.”

Other states were taking action.

In February 2021, a New York official concerned about the FDA’s findings contacted Phillips to inquire about the company’s standing in Vermont. Two months later, Virginia’s board of pharmacy denied the company a license to sell drugs

There has “never been and will never be a legitimate public safety concern,” Chatoff said, according to a written decision from the California board.

The California regulators were unpersuaded. They called Chatoff’s dismissal of the findings “concerning” and upheld the cease-and-desist order. A settlement approved by both parties in October 2021 placed the company on probation and stipulated that, among many other requirements, Chatoff attend an ethics course.

FDA investigators had already arrived in Colchester for Edge’s next inspection by the time California settled. They found many of the same problems: ants and spiders around clean rooms and bins of finished medicine waiting to be shipped off; rust-like material on surfaces where sterile drugs were mixed; an unknown grime on the floors leading into the clean rooms.

The FDA’s review of the company’s records showed Edge had detected mold in the facility more than 120 times over the

Licensees sign these forms under the possible penalty of perjury and can have their applications denied or face other sanctions if found to have provided false information. When OPR staff notice discrepancies, they are supposed to alert the office’s enforcement unit for followup investigation.

It had also failed to complete thorough reviews following reports from customers that one of its injectable painkillers had caused a painful burning sensation in one patient and proved ineffective for another, according to the inspection report.

The feds immediately scheduled a call with Chatoff and his management team to request that they initiate the recall of all products. An alert posted to the FDA’s website on December 4, 2021, blamed “process issues that could lead to a lack of sterility.”

He announced the closure the following day.

It is unclear whether Chatoff plans to reopen Edge. Two weeks ago, a federal judge signed off on a settlement that outlines an extensive list of improvements Edge would have to make before it could resume compounding drugs.

A press release from the U.S. Department of Justice announcing the settlement on June 13 quoted an FDA official as saying that Edge had “put patients’ lives at risk.”

Although the settlement effectively ends the FDA’s civil action against Edge, the company’s problems may not be over.

In January, Chatoff received a federal subpoena requesting all of the company’s documents dating back to its first days in business, according to internal company emails obtained by Seven Days. Both the U.S. attorney in Vermont and the FDA declined comment.

news Citing Costs, Utility Regulators Reduce Solar Incentives B Y K E VI N M C C AL L U M • kevin@sevendaysvt.com

Vermont regulators have again reduced a key financial incentive for new solar power projects, hoping to slow the growth of the most expensive form of renewable energy on the state’s grid.

Friday’s decision is the sixth time in six years the state has reduced the rate paid to new owners of rooftop solar systems as it tries to maintain a delicate balance: keeping electricity costs in check while also expanding renewable energy in the state.

The decision by the Public Utility Commission lowers slightly — by a third of a penny — the rate per kilowatt hour that owners of new solar systems will receive when their panels produce more electricity than their homes or businesses consume. The arrangement, called net-metering, allows those owners to sell power to the grid on sunny days for credits to offset their electricity bills.

Regulators routinely adjust rates in a process closely watched by utilities and renewable energy advocates.

The rate that utilities pay for netmetered solar, 16.4 cents per kilowatt hour,

is the highest among all renewable energy sources in the state. Some larger solar installations that tie directly into the grid receive about half that amount, the commission found.

If the commission hadn’t reduced the incentives, electricity rates would have continued to rise statewide because of what utilities pay for renewable power, the commission said.

The commission is committed to Vermont’s renewable energy requirements but also has to routinely reexamine the cost of energy policies and how they affect Vermonters, PUC chair Anthony Roisman said in a written statement.

“Net-metering will continue to be an important component of Vermont’s portfolio approach to addressing climate change, but it should not displace other lower-cost sources of renewable generation,” he said.

The new net-metered compensation rate, which will take effect on September 1, only applies to new residential systems under 500 kilowatts. Because of other factors

and 3.7 megawatts, respectively, in 2021.

Higher electricity prices could hurt the state’s ability to meet its climate goals, the commission found, by slowing the adoption of electric alternatives to fossil fuels, such as electric vehicles and cold-climate heat pumps.

Peter Sterling, executive director of Renewable Energy Vermont, said the rate reduction will make it harder for people to afford new solar systems because it will lengthen the payback period for the up-front cost, which averages eight to 10 years. It likely will make systems less affordable for low- and middle-income Vermonters, he said.

Sterling acknowledged that keeping electricity rates affordable is important to encourage more people to shift away from fossil fuels. But, he said, it’s equally important to expand the supply of locally generated renewable energy, which he called “meager.”

“At the very moment the climate crisis is upon us, the PUC should be making it more affordable for people to go solar, not less,” Sterling said. m © EMFIELDING / DREAMSTIME.COM

affecting rates, owners of existing systems will actually be paid three-quarters of a cent more.

Though the changes seem small, even tweaks to electricity rates can have big impacts on power bills, the solar industry and the state’s overall renewable energy usage.

Despite previous reductions in solar rates, the PUC approved nearly 3,000 new net-metered solar projects and one wind system totaling 45 megawatts in 2021, a 25 percent increase over the previous year.

By comparison, larger, cheaper solar projects tied directly to the grid or developed by utilities themselves added just 6.5 megawatts

COPS NEED PROTECTION, TOO

[Re “Prudence or ... Panic?” June 1]: The author of this article paraphrases Jay Diaz, general counsel of the American Civil Liberties Union of Vermont, saying, “He believes there’s a strong case to be made COURTESY OF TIM CALABRO

that ‘Don’t Tread on Me’ or ‘Blue Lives Matter’ flags are associated with the exclusion of students of color and therefore would be disruptive to their education.”

On “60 Minutes,” Federal Bureau of Investigation director Christopher Wray detailed a 59 percent increase in cop murders in 2021, for a total of 73. Assassinations of police officers are at an all-time high, including Black Baltimore officer Keona Holley, who was assassinated with two bullets to the head while sitting in her patrol car in December of 2021. Ambush attacks of police were up 115 percent in 2021.

According to the Washington Post, six unarmed Black people were fatally shot by police in 2021, while criminals killed close to 10,000 Black Americans in 2021.

The average age of police officers who died in 2021 was 48, and he or she left behind, on average, two children.

In a South Burlington public school, “artwork” was hung that had the acronym ACAB, which stands for All Cops Are Bastards.

George Orwell, who wrote the incredibly relevant to modern times dystopian novel 1984, stated: “There are some ideas so absurd only an intellectual could believe them.” That perspective is applicable to Diaz’s perspective on “Blue Lives Matter” being “disruptive or hostile to an educational environment.” In truth, it is essential that students learn that police officers are essential to a civil and safe society.

I am dismayed that Washington, D.C., corporate lobbyists and insiders have chosen to prop up Lt. Gov. Molly Gray as their preferred candidate for U.S. Congress by sending big donations from inside the Beltway, as described in the wellresearched article by Sasha Goldstein [“In Vermont’s U.S. House Race, D.C. Insiders, Lobbyists Sign Up for Team Molly Gray,” May 18].

Gray did not bother to vote in Vermont for 10 straight years, only casting her first ballot in a decade shortly before she sought statewide office [“In LG Race, Gray and Milne Clash Over Their Voting Records,” September 25, 2020]. How could someone who cared so little about the direction of our state be seriously considered for such a crucial leadership position?

Just as troubling, in a public debate Lt. Gov. Gray was not truthful about her extensive failure to vote — falsely claiming that she voted for Hillary Clinton in 2016.

She did not vote at all in 2016. I prefer people who seek positions of public trust to discuss their strengths and weaknesses honestly with voters.

D.C. power brokers appear to be trying to purchase votes for a candidate who did not herself care enough about Vermont to vote for a decade and who has no record of legislative accomplishment. Here in Vermont, we should choose our own path — and I hope we do.

TWO MILLION ACRES

Thanks for the informative article describing seven areas where the public is allowed to recreate on private land [“Promised Lands,” June 8]. What the article didn’t point out is that little of our more than 2 million acres of private land is available for public use, even though the public pays most of the property taxes. Current use has likely kept a lot of land out of development, a great result. Under the system, owners pay approximately $3 per acre annually in property taxes, roughly a 90 to 95 percent discount that results in approximately $225 per household in property taxes for everyone else.

Under the current rules, owners can fully post, preventing any public access or use of the land. I’ve spoken to my legislators, who refused to touch the issue, likely because landowners tend to be wealthy, powerful and influential.

A tiered system whereby owners would only get the full discount if they

the one mentioned in the article, which was that long-term residents object to students having “outsize influence in city elections.”

First, Ward 8 has very low voter participation, consistently the lowest in the city by far. Many students choose to vote in their home state or town, where they feel their vote will count most. However, the low participation presents challenges with finding qualified candidates to run for public positions — the people who will be responsible for making important decisions for both the ward and the city. There are challenges even to find people to work at the polls Second, in a student ward, any candidate who is not University of Vermontaffiliated would have a deep structural disadvantage, since they would not be allowed to campaign in the dorms.

Third, as the Ward 8 member of the Ad Hoc Committee on Redistricting, I received public input regarding Ward 8 not just from Ward 8 residents but from outside the ward, as well.

Lastly, it makes sense for students to vote as members of the neighborhood community in which they choose to live,

where their perspective on issues such as affordable rental housing could be influential throughout the city.

HATEFUL ADVERTISEMENT

[Re advertisement for VT Grassroots, May 11]: On May 14, 10 innocent lives were taken by a white supremacist and domestic terrorist in a grocery store in Buffalo, N.Y. On the very same day in the state of Vermont, the VT Grassroots organization and the state’s Republican Party were hosting two men who further racist and hateful ideology and alt-right propaganda.

If you go to the VT Grassroots website, you will see a video repeating the lie that the 2020 election was stolen. In that video, you will see people of color putting ballots in a ballot box. This is accompanied by very dark and dramatic music. If you are easily fooled, it might lead one to assume that they are stuffing ballot boxes. It only furthers the narrative that our country is being “stolen” or “replaced” by people of color. This is violent and harmful, and we will continue to see domestic terrorist acts committed in this country due to white supremacy.

There is no proof presented in the video that anything was stolen — just snippets of dark and grainy pictures that promote lies.

I am sure there are those who feel they are expressing their right to free speech.

But because your free speech is hate speech, your rights end where the dignity of others begins. Please take a stand against racism and hate in this beautiful state. Please vote for candidates who will continue and build on values that allow everyone to live with dignity and respect in our country.

OBITUARIES, VOWS, CELEBRATIONS

OBITUARIES Alice Peduzzi Duncan AUGUST 3, 1929JUNE 9, 2022 BARRE, VT.

Alice Peduzzi Duncan, the only child of Joseph and Agnes Peduzzi and the beloved granddaughter of Elisa, was born in Barre on August 3, 1929, and died at the Converse Home in Burlington on June 9, 2022.

She loved her multigenerational Italian American upbringing and fondly remembered her six-month trip at age 9 to Schignano, the village founded by her ancestors circa 1350, where her parents celebrated their 10th wedding anniversary in 1938. She relished the love and affection of her extended Italian family, maintained contact and visited again in 1974.

She maintained lifelong friendships with her Barre friends and classmates, never missing a Spaulding High School class of 1947 reunion until 2017, when she was hospitalized for a serious illness.

Alice married Robert “Tanny” Duncan in 1950 and had three children: her son Bob (Jean) and their children, Mika (Ashley) and Alida; her daughter Lisa (Don); and her son David (Shari) and their children, Tadd (Tasha and son Zander) and Kara (daughter Amira). She was a devoted and doting “Nonni” to her grandchildren, making castle cakes for special birthdays, and she always reveled in their varied and many successes. She leaves behind four nieces, Pamela, Nancy, Janet and Lauren, and their families; her cousins Sylvia and Angelina of Wilmerding, Pa.; Marco Peduzzi of Barre, Vt.; Arthur Pruneau (Laura) of Phoenix, Ariz.; Dottie Ellero of New Hampshire; Carol Groleau (Bob) of Essex, Vt.; and the Cassarini family of New York.

After her marriage, Alice joined the First

24

Presbyterian Church, her husband’s place of worship, and was a faithful member until her move to Burlington in 2017. She belonged to its Elwood Club, and each year her panettone sold out within minutes at the annual Christmas bazaar. She left the workforce until all of her kids were in school, then returned full time to various office manager positions in several small businesses. In 1974 she and Tanny began Duncan Masonry Construction, for which she handled all of the office management.

Alice delighted in being mother-in-law to her sons’ wives, welcoming them as additional daughters to her family. She and Jean enjoyed a special relationship, especially in later years as Mom needed more help with errands and appointments. Alice’s greatest joy was being with her family and friends, always welcoming them — and her kids’ friends, as well — into her home to visit, have something to eat or drink, and play cards. (She took no prisoners at cards, rarely losing, always enjoying the banter that accompanied the games of canasta, bridge, progressive rummy and more.) Alice was her kids’ friends’ favorite parent, and she fit right in with the gang, always kidding and joking with them all. A lifelong knitter, she crafted many afghans, mittens, hats and dishcloths for her family, friends and her

SEVEN DAYS JUNE 22-29, 2022

church’s bazaars. She was a fan of word scrambles and word searches and a faithful reader of the Barre-Montpelier Times Argus and Burlington Free Press. Sitting around the campfire with her friends at her favorite campgrounds in Maine, Colchester and Randolph, Alice loved the camaraderie of camping, which she enjoyed immensely from the 1970s until 2015.

Her family always welcomed her Italian specialties: gnocchi, polenta (with almost anything at hand), “uzzei scappa” (“flyaway birds”: veal-wrapped prosciutto, similar to saltimbocca), lasagna, risotto (the best with freshly picked boletus mushrooms, mushrooming being another favorite pastime), and, of course, her delicious pasta frola, pizzelle and panettone. She often contributed polenta to the Mutuo Soccorso for its fundraising dinners, a family tradition that began with Nonna Elisa.

The memorial service for Alice will be held on Saturday, July 9, 2022, 11 a.m., in the First Presbyterian Church, 19 S. Seminary St., Barre. There are no calling hours.

The family sincerely thanks all of the staff at the Converse Home, especially those in the Gardenview wing, for their kind, thoughtful and loving care of Alice in her last years.

Alice very much appreciated all of their kindnesses as they helped her through some very difficult times.

The COVID-19 pandemic has created many challenges for all of us, most especially in long-term care facilities, and all of the staff there has met those challenges with great caring, and for that the family is very grateful.

Arrangements are by Hooker Whitcomb Funeral Home, 7 Academy St., Barre. For a memorial guestbook, please visit hookerwhitcomb.com.

David F. Sheldon

FEBRUARY 2, 1929JUNE 2, 2022 BAINBRIDGE ISLAND, WASH. David F. Sheldon, a resident of Shelburne from 1990 to 2008, died in his sleep on Thursday, June 2, 2022, at his home on Bainbridge Island in Washington State. Born on Groundhog Day in 1929, David made full use of his 93 years with personal engagements that endeared him to many and professional accomplishments that earned him respect and admiration from his peers.

Born in New York City, David was raised in Ponca City, Okla.; Fort Worth, Texas; and, for most of his youth, Shaker Heights, Ohio.

If there was a theme to these early years, it was of a boy on the move — mostly on his bicycle zipping up and down the Midwest’s rolling hills. His thirst for new experiences led him to complete his high school education at Uppingham School in the East Midlands of England. After college (Amherst) and business school (Harvard), he worked on Madison Avenue for three years before moving with the love of his life, Judy Sheldon, to Concord, Mass., where he accepted a position as a history teacher at Middlesex School. After an additional stint as director of admissions, David became Middlesex’s third headmaster, a position he held for 26 years. Upon retirement, he and

Judy moved to Shelburne, where he directed the Shelburne Museum for an additional six years and where Judy taught yoga to a growing stable of devoted neighbors and friends. As a committed fan of the nonprofit sector, David also served on the boards of Shelburne Farms and Vermont Public Radio.

After Judy’s death in 2005, David moved to Bainbridge Island, Wash., to be closer to his grandchildren.

David will be remembered for his humor, generosity and keen intellect. He was a mentor to literally hundreds of girls and boys during his time at Middlesex, but also to family and friends who appreciated his listening skills and wise counsel. His passion for books, dogs, small boats, fishing and bicycles continued to the very end of his life. He loved the written word and was an energetic and dedicated correspondent. Many will greatly miss the pleasure of finding one of his letters in their mailbox.

He is survived by his three sons, Fred Sheldon (Donna) of Nashua, N.H.; Charles Sheldon (Sonja) of Millsfield, N.H.; and James Sheldon (Jennie) of Bainbridge Island, Wash.; along with two grandchildren, Tyler Sheldon of Corvallis, Ore., and Jessie Sheldon of Homer, Alaska. Gifts may be made in his memory to either the Shelburne Museum or Shelburne Farms to support their educational programs.

Donald Leopold

SEPTEMBER 27, 1947-JUNE 11, 2022 BURLINGTON, VT. After a life well lived, Donald Leopold passed away on June 11, 2022. He was born in Cleveland, Ohio, on September 27, 1947, and grew up adjacent to Lake Erie — building his life around family, athletics and an interest in the sciences. While at the University of Michigan, he nurtured a lifelong interest in learning and teaching, studied mechanical engineering, and explored interests in medicine and music. Performing in the Michigan Men’s Glee Club and competing in collegiate wrestling were among his great loves.

His life was guided by ambition, discovery, and the constant yearning to understand and connect with the world around him.

Don was an instinctual explorer, traveling the world to discover unknown places and leaving no untried menu item off his plate.

He believed in the merits of hard work, eschewed elevators and saw the immense beauty in the art of the possible.

During his internationally recognized career in olfaction and rhinology, he focused his energies on patient care, education and research. He was a leader within otolaryngology for decades, serving as president of the American Rhinologic Society, as well as the chair of otolaryngology at both Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center and the University of Nebraska. The consummate teacher and academician, Donald trained hundreds of students, residents and fellows over his almost 40-year career at SUNY Upstate, Johns Hopkins University, the University of Nebraska and the University of Vermont.

One of his greatest blessings was his love with and marriage of 53 years to Sandy (Faller) Leopold.

He was a dedicated father to his children, Tanya, Kristin and David, and grandfather to his seven grandchildren.

Don was preceded in death by his parents, Adelia and Leonard Leopold, and siblings Laurel (Carey) Spicer and Allen Leopold. He is also survived by his sister Lenore (Dave) Nepveu and sister-in-law Karen Leopold.

A private memorial gathering will be held near his home in Burlington, Vt. In lieu of flowers or gifts, the family requests that donations may be made to a fund at the University of Vermont to establish an annual lectureship in Don’s honor: give.uvmhealth.org/leopold.

Arrangements have been entrusted to the care of the Ready Funeral Home, South Chapel, 261 Shelburne Rd., Burlington.

A

historic wave of retirements by pandemic-weary lawmakers is washing over Vermont’s legislative landscape, but the churn doesn’t end there.

Four of the state’s six top statewide leaders are packing it in, setting up highly competitive primary races for powerful positions that will be decided on August 9.

Lt. Gov. Molly Gray is running for Congress. Secretary of State Jim Condos is retiring, as is Treasurer Beth Pearce, who is battling cancer. And attorney general T.J. Donovan stepped down on Monday to take a job with an online gaming platform.

Gov. Phil Scott and Auditor Doug Hoffer are the only top officials sticking out two more years of statewide service.

Scott, one of the country’s most popular governors, has two little-known challengers in the GOP primary: Stephen Bellows, a landscaping contractor from Grand Isle, and Peter Duval, who was recalled from the Underhill Selectboard last year. The primary races for auditor and treasurer are uncontested.

But three competitions for statewide positions are emerging as extremely highstakes exercises. For the attorney general, lieutenant governor and secretary of state candidates, the August 9 primaries could well be harder fought and the results closer than the general election this fall.

At stake are positions that uphold state law, serve as the No. 2 executive and help safeguard elections themselves.

With absentee voting starting this week, here’s the skinny on the candidates who are crisscrossing the state, marching in parades, and saturating airwaves seeking your vote for those influential jobs.

During a tour of the ArtHound Gallery in Essex earlier this month, Kitty Toll, a Democratic candidate for lieutenant governor, chatted with co-owner John Churchman about local artists, rural life and revitalizing the Essex Experience, where the gallery is located.

Toll eyed a colorful painting by Burlington artist Annelein Beukenkamp.

“I love the rooster,” said the candidate, who grew up on a Danville dairy farm.

Churchman later pronounced the former Democratic lawmaker an impressive candidate.

“I would really like to see a strong woman as lieutenant governor who would be able to then go on and run against the governor,” Churchman said.

He could get his wish. This year’s race for lieutenant governor is shaping up to be one of the most expensive and closely watched statewide contests. And the

winner could find themselves in prime position to run for governor in 2024.

Though the LG post is largely a ceremonial position, it has historically served as a stepping-stone to higher office.

“The lieutenant governor’s office provides both the ability to have some input into the legislative process but also enough freedom to develop your own agenda that makes it a useful launching pad,” said Jim Dandeneau, the interim executive director of the Vermont Democratic Party.

Now six candidates — four Democrats and two Republicans — are hoping to blast off. None will admit they’d use the position to propel their political career, though a major part of the job is being ready to serve as governor if needed.

Toll, a former chair of the powerful House Appropriations Committee, and farmer-politician David Zuckerman — a former lieutenant governor and one-time gubernatorial candidate — are considered front-runners in the Democratic primary.

Dems have two other candidates, though: state Rep. Charlie Kimbell (D-Woodstock) and newcomer Patricia Preston, the president and CEO of the Vermont Council on World Affairs, a Burlingtonbased nonprofit.

Republicans have fewer options but a starker choice. Sen. Joe Benning (R-Caledonia) is an attorney, a moderate Republican and a former minority leader closely aligned with Scott. He’s facing Greg Thayer, an accountant, former Rutland alderman and proud Donald Trump supporter who participated in the January 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol protest and continues to downplay the ensuing riot.

Establishment Democrats appear to be rallying behind Toll, with endorsements, donations and support from state lawmakers past and present — including her sister, Sen. Jane Kitchel (D-Caledonia).

Toll raised the most money, nearly $118,000, through March 15, when the most recent campaign finance disclosures were released. That’s compared to $92,391 for Zuckerman, $88,935 for Preston and $43,637 for Kimbell. The next reports are due on July 1.

The funds are critical to Toll, whose name is not widely known outside the Northeast Kingdom and Montpelier, though she served 12 years in the legislature before stepping down in 2020.

She’s promoting herself with a busy campaign schedule and has been running ads on television and social media. She recently earned the backing of Madeleine Kunin, Vermont’s first — and only — female governor and a former LG herself, and former governor Howard Dean.

“Statewide name recognition is something I have to build, and build quickly,” Toll said.

Toll is married to Abel Toll, owner of the Autosaver Group, which operates 14 car dealerships in Vermont, New Hampshire and New York. She acknowledged that her family is well off, and friends and family have helped fund her campaign. Donors with the last names of Toll, Kitchel and Beattie, which is Toll’s maiden name, gave more than $16,000 combined. She and her husband each contributed close to the maximum individual donations of $4,210.

Aside from a financial edge, Toll also has the support of former legislative colleagues. Reps. Alyssa Black (D-Essex) and Rey Garofano (D-Essex) accompanied Toll on her visit to the Essex shopping center. They introduced her to the backers of a huge new immersive art installation called Babaroosa and praised her candidacy and work ethic to a small group of supporters who gathered at Black Flannel Brewing & Distilling.

Black told the group that Toll garnered deep respect among her colleagues during her four years as chair of the House Appropriations Committee, which made backing her a “no-brainer.”

“I think that she’ll make a wonderful lieutenant governor,” Black said.

Toll leans heavily on her chairmanship, saying in the role she developed insight on state finances, made tough decisions and learned to build consensus.

Her priorities closely align with those of the state party and include addressing the climate and housing crises, making childcare more affordable, and bringing broadband to rural areas. Following the shooting of schoolchildren in Uvalde, Texas, she has begun talking about the need for additional gun-control measures, though she does not have a firm proposal.

To get the LG job, she’d have to get past a man who did it once already. Zuckerman spent 18 years as a state lawmaker before serving as lieutenant governor from 2016 to 2020, when he stepped down to run against Scott. His gubernatorial bid failed, but now he’s back, arguing that someone needs to stand up for the little guy.

“I want to get back into statewide office and fight like hell on the issues that I’ve been beating the drum on, just like Bernie, for a long time,” said Zuckerman, invoking Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.). Reducing income inequality, addressing the climate crisis and fighting for social justice are some of his priorities.

Selling fresh produce grown on his Hinesburg farm gives Zuckerman countless opportunities to interact 28

with the public. Last week he and his teenage daughter, Addie, were set up in the Temple Sinai parking lot in South Burlington, a pickup spot for the people who pay a lump sum per year to get whatever Full Moon Farm is producing that week, aka community-supported agriculture. Sporting the ripped jeans and soiled T-shirt that are as much a part of his hippie-farmer ethos as his ponytail, he greeted many of these regular customers by their first names

Former House speaker Mitzi Johnson worked closely with Zuckerman for years, but she’s endorsed Toll. Zuckerman’s decision to run for governor shows he clearly wants something else, Johnson said, and it strikes her as self-serving for him to return to his former job to wait for another political opportunity to materialize.

“I think Vermonters deserve a lieutenant governor who wants the job of lieutenant governor,” she said.

Though the LG post is largely a ceremonial position, it has historically served as a stepping-stone to higher office. and chatted with them about the weather and the growing season.

Linda Rodd of South Burlington stowed greens, yellow squash and radishes in her reusable plastic bag, then asked Zuckerman if she could take one of the campaign lawn signs leaning against his pickup truck.

“I’m happy to see all of the newcomers,” Rodd said after maneuvering a Zuckerman sign into the back seat of her Prius, “but where guiding principles are concerned, I so align with where David stands.”

While he’s received some key endorsements from labor groups and leaders such as Sen. Phil Baruth (D/P-Chittenden) and 350.org cofounder Bill McKibben, some in the Democratic establishment aren’t keen to see Zuckerman reclaim his former post.

Churchman, the Essex art gallery owner, had a different view. He said Democratic voters ought to back someone who can eventually retake the governorship, and that doesn’t appear to be Zuckerman.

“He ran for governor and got creamed!”

Churchman declared.

That’s no exaggeration. Scott earned 68 percent of the vote in 2020 to Zuckerman’s 27 percent.

Zuckerman said he shouldn’t be dismissed as a weak candidate for losing that “very atypical” race against a popular governor during the pandemic. He said the positive reaction he’s getting on the campaign trail is proof that he’s resonating with voters.

“Sometimes I think in political circles we get a little too wrapped up in our own

political analysis and don’t spend enough face-to-face time with everyday people who don’t really care if we’ve run for this office or that office,” he said. “They care about who you are and if you are fighting for them.”

The candidates with less legislative experience are emphasizing the fresh perspectives they’d bring to the job.

Preston, who at 36 is the youngest candidate, said she would address issues that affect her generation.

“A lot of the voices in this race … are voices that have been there for a very long time,” she said of her rivals.

Preston, who lacks political experience and grew up on a dairy farm, has enough in common with current LG Gray that some have privately dubbed her “Molly 2.0.” But Preston denies that Gray’s success motivated her to follow in her footsteps.

“I think that it’s really easy for folks to draw comparisons when there have been so few women to choose from,” she said.

Preston said her work hosting international exchange events around the state for years makes her “uniquely qualified” for the lieutenant governor’s role. The campaign is her first run for public office.

While Preston’s pitch is about fresh ideas, she sometimes has difficulty articulating them. She speaks about expanding renewable energy but doesn’t have a plan to do so. She says she’d convene a climate conversation with voters and experts but couldn’t say how that would differ from the yearlong work of the Vermont Climate Council.

She acknowledges being disappointed by recent legislative failures on climate efforts but said she isn’t discouraged.

“I’m not going to give up on that promise of Vermont,” she said.

Kimbell, an affable, moderate Democrat from Woodstock, said he initially got into the race to address the workforce shortage and the systemic problems facing career development programs.

The St. Albans native figured that his work on economic development issues in the House and his varied business background — he’s worked in five industries — give him a unique perspective on workforce issues. He’s now director of sales and marketing for MISys Manufacturing, a Woodstock software company.

“I can relate to the problem from an employer’s standpoint,” he said.

But as the campaign has progressed, he’s realized that housing also hugely affects businesses’ ability to attract and retain workers.

“Anytime I talk to anybody about workforce development, the instant question is, ‘Where are they going to live?’”

Kimbell said.

As lieutenant governor, he’d focus on the housing crisis, working closely with administration officials to tackle it from multiple angles, he said.

“You can make a difference as lieutenant governor by bringing the players together,” he said. “The office is what you make of it.”

Kimbell is probably the most conservative Democrat in the race. He opposes eliminating qualified immunity for police officers, citing worries about the impact on recruiting. He was hesitant to embrace issues such as the legalization of cannabis and paid family leave, but he came around on both after weighing the benefits and costs.

Voters he’s spoken with seem most interested in his positions on guns and abortion, he said. He’s open to requiring licenses and firearms training for gun buyers, he said. And he’s pro-choice, supporting Proposal 5, the amendment on the November ballot that would enshrine reproductive rights in the state constitution.

On the Republican side, a smaller slate of candidates is nevertheless revealing deep party divisions.

The assumed front-runner, Benning, aligns himself closely with Gov. Scott and other moderates, saying he’d be a cheerleader for Vermont. But Benning says far-right party activists have been unusually vocal this year, and that’s got him concerned.

“When people tell me I don’t have much to worry about, I start to worry,” said Benning, who is campaigning mostly by touring the state on his Harley-Davidson.

Proposal 5, which Benning supports, has turned the debate about abortion into a regrettable litmus test for many in the Vermont GOP, he said. His primary opponent, Thayer, is against the measure.

Thayer is a former Rutland city councilor running on a pro-police, anti-abortion, gun rights platform, with a dash of insurrection denial thrown in.

Benning reported raising $8,175 through March 15. Thayer did not have to file a campaign disclosure for that period because he did not raise or spend at least $500.

Thayer attended the January 6 Stop the Steal rally-turned-riot at the U.S. Capitol but has dismissed the siege as the work of a handful of bad actors.

“It was a great day for our Constitution and the presidency, but, unfortunately, some bad eggs did some horrible things,” 30

SEVEN DAYS JUNE 22-29, 2022

Thayer said. He condemned the rioters who stormed the building but at the same time suggested they may have been justified.

Thayer has also denounced critical race theory and claimed the country is sliding toward Marxism.

Earlier this year, right-wing party activists, including Thayer, tried to get the VTGOP to kick moderates such as Scott out of the party for not fully embracing its platform, Benning said. The effort failed but illustrates the degree of turmoil in the party, he said.

“There is a very vocal group of individuals who are bound and determined to have a purified party,” Benning said, “and it appears that they don’t care whether they elect people or not.”

SECURING THE VOTES

John Odum knows he has more tattoos than the typical candidate for Vermont secretary of state. But tattoos aren’t all that Odum, a musician, has up his sleeves.

He’s also a nationally known cybersecurity expert, and he’s guessing that those credentials will appeal strongly to voters.

Odum, who administers municipal elections as Montpelier city clerk, holds several IT certifications, including certified ethical hacker — a designation for people who reveal vulnerabilities of online systems. He’s also on the advisory board of the University of Chicago’s Cyber Policy Initiative, and he writes and speaks internationally on election security.

That’s been a concern in the U.S., amplified because of attempts by Russia and other foreign actors to meddle in the 2016 election. And since he lost the 2020 election, former president Trump has broadcast false claims that the process was “rigged,” convincing millions of followers that victory was stolen from him.

Election security is at the forefront for Odum and his Democratic primary opponents: Rep. Sarah Copeland Hanzas (D-Bradford) and Deputy Secretary of State Chris Winters. The three have worked together on election issues. Now they’re vying to succeed Secretary of State Condos, who has served 11 years in the office.

Odum believes his skills and credentials could help Vermont emerge as a leader in election technology and policy. If elected, he said, he’d like to create an elections network for Vermont municipalities — not a proprietary one managed by a thirdparty vendor, but, instead, a collaboratively built system that experts could refine.

He acknowledged that model, known as open source, is widely debated in the software community. Odum said many big

companies, such as Facebook and Google, use a combination of open-source and proprietary software.

“Vermont has done a great job under the standard model of cybersecurity, but it’s not enough these days,” he said. “We need a dedicated network for city clerks so they are not checking their home email on the computers that they’re doing the election work on.”

The secretary of state also oversees business registrations, a division that licenses professions, as well as voter access. While SOS candidates do run on party lines, the job itself is administrative and considered politically neutral. But the candidates, knowing election security is the hottest issue, are touting their election credentials.

Winters, an attorney who has worked in the Secretary of State’s Office since 1997, guided Vermont lawmakers early in the pandemic as they approved online and same-day voter registration and voting by mail. In an interview, he acknowledged Odum’s technical qualifications but noted that Vermont still has town clerks who aren’t comfortable using online tools. He gets a lot of phone calls from municipal clerks about elections, sometimes as voting is under way.

He recently asked the Vermont League of Cities & Towns to survey its members to learn how many still don’t have a website.

“We have a wide range, with some people who don’t really like to turn on the computer,” Winters said of town officials.

Copeland Hanzas also is running on her experience making laws around election security and access. She spent the last four of her 18 years in the Statehouse as chair of the House Government Operations Committee, the panel that worked on the groundbreaking COVID-19 vote-by-mail legislation, which has fundamentally changed elections. The law requires clerks to mail ballots to all active voters for general elections, though voters must request a mail ballot to vote that way in the primaries.

Copeland Hanzas and Winters both said they want to reintroduce civic education to the office to avert some of the polarization that has blighted public discourse in recent years.

“You don’t have to look very far to see that democracy is under threat from a number of fronts, from intentional misinformation, active voter suppression, election deniers to things that are a little harder to quantify — like how we no longer know how to disagree with each other without being disagreeable,” Copeland Hanzas said.

Winters said he wants to engage young people in civic matters so “they’ll be more inclined to volunteer for local positions,”

Knowing election security is the hottest issue, the candidates are touting their election credentials. such as selectboard members. To that end, he’s working with the Center for Cartoon Studies in White River Junction on a comic book about how Vermont democracy works.

The nature of online discourse, he said, has led people to believe the election was stolen from Trump — and to threaten officials, including the Secretary of State’s Office in 2020.

Winters wants to teach people to see they’re being targeted by partisan groups, sometimes without their knowledge.

“Media literacy helps you understand how your data is being used and understand that you’re the commodity when you’re online,” he said.

Copeland Hanzas grew up in Corinth and Bradford, where her father started Copeland Furniture, a high-end manufacturer. She taught science in Hanover, N.H., schools for two years before leaving to coach varsity field hockey and softball. She also ran a Bradford café, the Local Buzz, for 11 years.

During the legislative session, she can often be found playing in the fastmoving Friday morning basketball games that draw lawmakers, lobbyists and administration members. She’s often the only woman on the court.

“Where else do you get to really throw an elbow or put a pick on someone?” she said. “It’s a wonderful way to unwind after a long, grueling legislative week.”

Winters, a marathon runner who grew up in Williamstown, has deep ties to central Vermont. His grandmother, a Marshfield dairy farmer, was a fortuneteller back in the days when that profession was licensed, and Winters has a copy of her paperwork, along with letters from grateful customers. He operated a law practice before taking a job at the Secretary of State’s Office.

Winters does have the backing of his boss, Condos, and an edge in fundraising, according to the most recent campaign

finance filing reports. He reported a haul of about $21,400 compared to Odum, who’d raised nearly $6,700. Copeland Hanzas only announced her run in late April and hasn’t filed.

Odum said his more unorthodox background sets him apart at election security conferences or when meeting with his University of Chicago colleagues.

He grew up in Kentucky and moved to Vermont to attend Goddard College in Plainfield. He left school before finishing his degree to work for the Vermont Democratic Party.

Odum has a certificate in election management from the Hubert H. Humphrey School of Public Affairs at the University of Minnesota.

In his role as Montpelier city clerk, Odum advocated for noncitizen voting in local elections and helped guide the process of voting. Last year, he was named in a lawsuit filed by the Republican National Committee and VTGOP that accused the municipality of violating the state constitution.

As secretary of state, Odum said, he could help other communities around the country pursue noncitizen voting, which he’s already done in his current job.

“We could provide resources on the constitutionality … and peer support,” he said.

Until recently, Odum always made sure to get tattoos he could hide under a shirt. Then he decided to add a large Celtic symbol with an arctic tern that can be spotted on his chest if he doesn’t fasten his top buttons.

“Shortly thereafter, I decided to run for statewide office, and there was no hiding this one,” Odum said. When he’s at conferences with secretaries of state from around the country, Odum feels as though he stands out — but it has nothing to do with the tattoos.

“I am bringing a perspective and level of expertise on election security that just isn’t like anyone in those rooms,” he said.

PLEADING THEIR CASES

Charity Clark and Rory Thibault both figured they might run for attorney general one day, but neither expected their chance would come quite so soon.

On May 5, attorney general T.J. Donovan, a fellow Democrat, made the surprising announcement that he would not seek reelection.

Clark, Donovan’s chief of staff since 2018, learned of her boss’ decision mere hours before the public. That night, while cooking macaroni and cheese for OPEN-SEAT SEASON

refer abusive officers for decertification proceedings. Currently, that authority rests only with the Vermont Criminal Justice Training Council, a 24-member panel with a strong law enforcement presence.

Clark, on the other hand, had little to offer on police reform; conversations in the legislature “should continue,” she said. “My leadership style is very collaborative, and this is an area where I think it’s really important to get all the voices and make sure that we’re doing the best we can.”

As in many primaries, the distance between the two candidates’ platforms is otherwise quite limited. Both say

her 8-year-old daughter, Clark cobbled together some makeshift campaign signs.

On May 16, she announced her run to become Vermont’s first female attorney general.

Thibault, the Washington County state’s attorney, was in court when news of Donovan’s decision broke.

His phone vibrated incessantly with texts from friends and calls from reporters inquiring about his plans.

He told news outlets that he wanted to speak with his family before making any commitments.

“Well, you’re running, aren’t you?” his wife asked once he got home. Thibault announced his campaign the next morning.

Six weeks later, the two Democrats are both pitching themselves as the best person to lead Vermont’s largest law firm.

With a staff of roughly 150 employees, the AG’s Office enforces environmental laws, prosecutes crimes and defends state laws in court. The office can bring or join lawsuits to challenge federal policies — something Donovan repeatedly did during the Trump era — and routinely weighs in on proposed legislation. The AG can influence state lawmakers to support a criminal justice reform bill or tweak drug laws.

The office also has a heavy consumer protection focus, through both a dedicated enforcement division and a hotline run in partnership with the University of Vermont that receives about 11,000 calls and complaints annually.

Clark is intimately familiar with these responsibilities. The Vermont native worked at private law firms in Burlington and New York City for a decade before taking a job in the AG’s consumer division in 2014. As Donovan’s chief of staff, she helped manage the office, oversaw the consumer protection program and ran several expungement clinics each year.

She resigned last month to focus on her campaign.

“This is a management job,” Clark said of serving as attorney general. “I will be ready to lead on day one.”

Thibault has a different pedigree. He bounced around the country for nearly a decade as a judge advocate general in the military’s justice branch, then settled in Vermont in 2016 to work as a deputy state’s attorney in Washington County. A brief stint in the AG’s criminal division ended in 2018, when Gov. Scott appointed him Washington County’s top prosecutor following the resignation of Scott Williams. Thibault was elected later that year to a four-year term and is continuing 32

to run his 12-person office while he juggles his campaign.

Setting him apart, he argues, are his management skills and leadership qualities. “My legal responsibility so frequently also has a leadership element — being in high-stakes situations,” he said.

The Democratic hopefuls have a few small but notable policy differences.

Clark tentatively supports safe injection sites, while Thibault would prefer to study the idea further. Earlier this month, Gov. Scott vetoed a bill that would have further explored the options.

Thibault has bigger ideas for police oversight, citing what he views as an “incredibly concerning” lack of public trust in how misconduct cases are reviewed. He wants the state to consider appointing a special prosecutor to handle such cases and said state’s attorneys and the AG’s Office should be allowed to

Both candidates also endorse the federal push for stronger gun control. they would seek to defend reproductive liberties, push the state to meet its climate emission goals, advocate for stronger data privacy laws and push for criminal justice reforms related to lower-level crimes, particularly those involving drugs.

Both candidates also endorse the federal push for stronger gun control and say they would back any new attempts to enact a waiting period on gun purchases in Vermont. Two years ago, Scott vetoed legislation that would have forced people who buy handguns to wait 24 hours to receive them. Thibault and Clark say at least 48 hours would be more appropriate.

More revealing is how they would prioritize the many issues jockeying for their attention — and how they plan to marshal the office’s resources to get stuff done.

Thibault wants to reinvigorate the AG’s Office by giving staff more freedom to make decisions. Donovan’s team was sometimes stifled by “an undue concentration of decision making in the front office,” Thibault said. The office has “some of the most brilliant attorneys in the state. I think we can achieve more — as long as we move in a consistent policy direction — by allowing rapid decision making and creativity to prevail.”

Thibault would also ask his prosecutors to take on more criminal cases. The AG’s Office can prosecute cases in any of Vermont’s 14 counties but has recently

focused its efforts on child pornography cases, elder fraud and high-profile murders. Expanding this portfolio would help ease the burden on state’s attorneys, some of whom are “drowning in backlogs,” Thibault said.

In the short term, violent crimes connected to drug trafficking should take priority, Thibault said. He pointed to a recent spate of shootings in Springfield and gunfire incidents in Burlington, some of which local officials have linked to the drug trade. “We don’t have a statewide or coordinated enforcement strategy for how we’re trying to cut the flow [of drugs] into the state of Vermont,” he said.

Five of Vermont’s eight other Democratic state’s attorneys have endorsed Thibault’s campaign. Among three who have yet to weigh in is Chittenden County’s top prosecutor, Sarah George, who says she wants to hear more about Clark’s positions.

Clark isn’t convinced that AG prosecutors need to do more. “I have great respect for the county prosecutors and think they’re doing a great job,” she said. The current system seems to be “working well the way it is.”

Her immediate goal would be to build on some of the office’s existing efforts. If elected, she would encourage lawmakers to pass a stronger data privacy law, one that specifically covers what’s known as “biometric data,” such as face scans and fingerprints. Clark would also seek to expand the law that allows Vermonters to have old criminal records sealed or expunged — something Donovan also championed over the years.

One move her boss made more recently that she would not replicate: leaving the gig for another job. Donovan resigned six months before his term was up to take a corporate position at the online gaming platform Roblox. Both Clark and Thibault said they would serve out their terms, even if they decided not to seek reelection.

“I can’t see myself wanting any other job,” Clark said.

n 1910, a 24-year-old Lithuanian immigrant and professional sign painter named Ben Zion Black created a vibrant mural in the sanctuary of a synagogue on Hyde Street in Burlington’s Old North End. For his work, the congregation paid him $200. The 22-foot-wide, 10-foot-high triptych — rendered in an Eastern European folk-art style — features the Ten Commandments in its center, bathed in the sun’s rays and flanked by golden lions. Billowy blue-and-red curtains and stately pillars fill the side panels.

Little did Black know that his artwork, which is now displayed in the entryway of Ohavi Zedek Synagogue on North Prospect Street, would one day become an international treasure — or that members of Burlington’s Jewish community would spend years raising $1 million and assembling a large team to protect, move, clean and restore it.

See “Lost Mural” restoration videos at sevendaysvt.com.

This month, after years of painstaking work, the restoration of Black’s artwork — which has become known as the “Lost Mural” — was finally finished. A celebration on June 28 will mark the occasion.

It will honor former Vermont governor and Jewish immigrant Madeleine Kunin, who helped fundraise for the mural, and feature Nisht Geferlach Klezmer Band, Vermont’s only klezmer group.

“I think a lot of people are astonished by the communal effort that went into this project,” said Aaron Goldberg, retired Ohavi Zedek archivist and cofounder of the Lost Mural Project. The restored work tells a multifaceted story that

The only known photo of the mural at Chai Adam Synagogue

encompasses culture, art, history and religion, he said.

Also notable is the mural’s rarity. In Lithuania, about 500 synagogues once had hand-painted walls, Goldberg said. All but one were destroyed during the Holocaust.

Josh Perelman, chief curator and director of exhibitions and interpretation at the Weitzman National Museum of American Jewish History, called the work “one of

a kind” and said nothing like it exists in American synagogues, either.

The history of Burlington’s Jewish community underscores the significance of the “Lost Mural.” In the late 1880s, a group of about 100 Jewish settlers, most from a small Lithuanian village named Čekiškė, settled in Burlington’s Old North End. The community soon grew into a bustling neighborhood with a kosher baker, kosher butcher, grocery store, feed store and three Orthodox synagogues. One of them — Chai Adam Synagogue, built in 1889 — was the original site of Black’s mural.

In 1939, Chai Adam closed, and the Wheel family purchased the building.

They eventually turned it into a carpet store and warehouse but kept Black’s painting. In 1986, the property changed hands again, and the new owners, the Offenhartz family, planned to convert it into an apartment building.

But before they did, Goldberg, a Burlington native who descended from Lithuanian immigrants, stepped in. He helped persuade the owners to preserve the mural by hiding it behind a newly built wall. First, though, photographers captured archival images with financial help from Black’s daughters. Those 1986 photographs would provide critical reference material for the restoration of the mural more than three decades later.

Before it could be restored, however, the mural had to be moved. In 2012, Goldberg and childhood friend and former Trinity College of Vermont history professor Jeff Potash — by then cofounders of the Lost Mural Project — reached an agreement with owner Steven Offenhartz to open up the wall that covered the mural.

Because of its location — in an apartment that was heated all winter — the work had sustained extensive damage, with paint hanging off its plaster base “like cornflakes,” said Richard Kerschner, conservator emeritus at Shelburne Museum.

Kerschner, who was director of preservation and conservation at the museum for more than three decades, coordinated the mural conservation efforts.

First, the mural was stabilized; conservators painstakingly glued paint back on, chip by chip, and gave it an initial cleaning.

Then, in May 2015, a team of contractors extracted it from the Hyde Street building and transported it several blocks to the Ohavi Zedek entryway. Encased in steel, it weighed about 7,500 pounds.

Shot in the Dark A Norwich researcher asks what more AI can teach us about gun violence B Y K E N PI CA RD • ken@sevendaysvt.com

W

hen Natalie Cartwright isn’t teaching, she spends her time trying to predict who will live and who will die from firearm injuries. But she’s not a physician, an epidemiologist or a criminologist — she’s an associate professor of mathematics at Norwich University in Northfield.

Cartwright scours reams of publicly available data on thousands of patients who arrived at hospital emergency departments around the country with gunshot wounds over a five-year period. She looks for previously unrecognized patterns among those who survived their injuries — and those who succumbed.

Her indispensable tool in finding those patterns? Artificial intelligence.

In 2021, Cartwright received a $25,000 grant from the Vermont Biomedical Research Network for her project “Youth Firearm Violence: A Machine Learning Approach.” A subset of AI, machine learning uses algorithms to recognize patterns 38

SEVEN DAYS JUNE 22-29, 2022

within large data sets, then learns from those patterns how to make better decisions and predictions.

Cartwright’s aim is to build a computer model that more accurately predicts firearm mortality than traditional statistical models can do. In the long term, such a model could be used to identify which factors weigh the most heavily in determining whether patients survive, she explained. Those factors might include the level of poverty where the shooting took place, the victim’s proximity to a level III trauma center or a teen’s exposure to gun violence prevention classes. Ultimately, such a model could help policy makers decide where to allocate their resources.

Researchers haven’t yet proved that machine learning can teach us more about gun violence than we already know through conventional means, but the need for knowledge is urgent. As demonstrated by the latest round of mass shootings in Uvalde, Texas; Buffalo, N.Y.; and at least 250 other locations this year alone, the

U.S. has an epidemic of gun violence that is difficult to predict and seems nearly impossible to stop. (For more on recent threats at Vermont schools, turn to page 14.)

In 2020, the U.S. experienced a record 45,222 gun deaths, a 14 percent increase over the previous year and a 43 percent increase over the previous decade, according to data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Yet, as Congress appears on the verge of a bipartisan agreement to enact the first significant gun safety legislation in decades, Americans remain frustrated by the lack of progress.

So Cartwright’s research asks a pressing question: Can technology solve the problem of gun violence that our political leaders cannot?

“Everyone in the world is looking at this [issue] now,” said David Hosmer, professor emeritus of biostatistics at the University of Massachusetts Amherst’s School of Public Health and Health Sciences.

Hosmer, who lives in Stowe, recruited Cartwright to take on the machine learning project.

A self-described statistical “traditionalist,” Hosmer began studying firearm violence more than a decade ago after reading a news story about a child who shot his sister with his father’s handgun after playing a video game with her. Knowing where his father kept the gun, Hosmer recalled, the boy pointed it at his sister and pulled the trigger, assuming she would come back to life the way characters did in the video game.

Thus began Hosmer’s yearslong collaboration with Dr. Turner Osler, a now-retired trauma surgeon, statistician and professor emeritus at the University of Vermont Larner College of Medicine.

Hosmer and Osler have coauthored numerous journal articles on gun violence, including one on firearm injuries among young children that appeared in the May 2019 issue of the American Surgeon.

For years, data of the kind they use were difficult to come by. In 1997, Congress stymied federally funded research into firearm injuries via the so-called Dickey Amendment, which prevented money allocated to the CDC for injury prevention from being used to “advocate or promote gun control.”

But Osler, who treated scores of gunshot victims in his career, knew that every patient’s reason for arriving at the emergency department is documented, including gunshot wounds. He and other researchers began mining hospital admissions records compiled by the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project, the largest collection of hospital care data in the U.S. Cartwright is now using some of those data for her project.

When asked what machine learning can bring to our understanding of gun violence, Hosmer said it “looks at the data in a different way,” finding relationships that might otherwise seem tangential or irrelevant.

The use of statistical analyses and computer modeling is nothing new to medicine and public health. For years, medical researchers have studied which therapies and interventions result in the best outcomes for patients, whether they arrived at an emergency department with a gunshot wound, a heart attack, a stroke or a traumatic brain injury.

But in recent years, researchers have been using AI to find previously unnoticed relationships and to make more accurate predictions of patient outcomes. As NPR’s “On Point” reported last month in the first episode of its series “Smarter Health,” some hospitals now use machine learning to predict diseases and conditions ranging from

heart arrhythmias to skin cancer to domestic violence.

Steven Lin, a family medicine physician and head of the Stanford Healthcare AI Applied Research Team, explained in one episode how AI uses patients’ own electronic health records to predict which ones will die within the next 12 months — with a high degree of accuracy. According to Lin, those predictions can ensure that patients have end-of-life plans in place, such as wills and advance medical directives.

By contrast, Cartwright’s work at Norwich doesn’t aim to predict which individuals will live or die from gunshot wounds or which medical interventions are most effective at saving lives. Rather, the model she’s building pinpoints sociological factors most influential in firearm injuries. The data set she obtained from Osler, who is not involved in her project, includes more than 17,000 youths, ages 19 and under, who arrived at emergency departments in 40 states with a gunshot wound from 2010 to 2015.

While patients’ identities are hidden, Cartwright knows the outcomes of those visits, as well as many other factors associated with each patient, including age,

gender, the type of firearm involved, the severity of the injury, the zip code where the shooting took place and the median income there. She also knows whether the shooting was an attempted homicide or suicide, an accidental discharge, or the result of another incident, such as a terrorist attack or police shooting.

CARTWRIGHT’S AIM IS TO BUILD A COMPUTER MODEL

THAT MORE ACCURATELY PREDICTS FIREARM MORTALITIES.

How does machine learning differ from more traditional statistical models?

As Cartwright explained, with traditional modeling, researchers look at a specific factor, such as age, to see how it influences the outcome. With machine learning, researchers enter huge sets of data into the algorithm, which processes numerous variables simultaneously,

matching them through countless computations.

“With machine learning,” Cartwright said, “you put data into the machine, give it an algorithm and it spits something out.

And you have no idea what it just did.”

Cartwright has not yet published her findings. So far, she’s discovered, among other things, that one of the most important factors in predicting mortality is the intent of the shooting; unsurprisingly, suicides showed a higher likelihood of death than other intentions.

Theoretically, such findings could be used to sway lawmakers who are on the fence about so-called “red flag” laws.

These statutes, adopted by 19 states, including Vermont, and the District of Columbia, enable police, relatives and coworkers to petition a court to temporarily remove a firearm from someone who they believe is at high risk of harming themselves or others. While horrific mass shootings perpetrated with military-style weapons garner the most media attention, the majority of gun deaths in the U.S. are suicides, typically done using handguns.

In her preliminary findings, Cartwright’s machine-learning model had

an accuracy rate of 96 percent in its predictions, compared with a 93 percent accuracy rate using logistic regression, a more conventional statistical method.

As she perfects her model and interprets how it arrives at its findings, Cartwright said, she’ll move on to a new data set from 2016 to 2020 to see how well it performs.

Osler couldn’t comment on Cartwright’s research because he hasn’t seen it yet. Generally, though, he said it’s “an open question” whether AI brings anything new to the table on gun violence. While he acknowledges that AI is a transformative technology that’s great at certain tasks, such as translating languages and doing facial recognition, “The question is, does it change the game in problems that are pretty well understood before you try to introduce AI?” Cartwright concedes the shortcomings inherent in machine learning, such as inadvertent biases and gaps or omissions in the statistics she uses. As she put it, “The model is only as good as the data.”

While no one expects AI to find a silver bullet that ends firearm violence, even a little more knowledge could go a long way. m

Just last week, May Day fed a crew from Dedalus Wine Shop, Market & Wine Bar, as well as cooks and servers down from Montréal’s Vin Papillon, Joe Beef and Liverpool House.

“We want to be your favorite cook’s favorite restaurant,” Peterson added with a laugh.

General manager Peterson and chef Hancy-Davis are the right duo to pull that off. They met eight years ago while working at Misery Loves Co. in Winooski and have honed their skills at Burlington-area hot spots ever since.

legacy as a popular neighborhood gathering place. Being open on Sunday and Monday — when nearby staples such as Taco Gordo, Café Mamajuana and Pho Hong are closed — should go a long way toward that goal.

On a recent Monday night, I took my own advice and headed to May Day, where I met Wilder Wines owner Sipha Lam for what turned out to be a four-hour dinner.

From the moment I walked in, the laidback, welcoming service felt like getting an invite to a cool dinner party hosted by unpretentious yet wildly interesting friends of friends. We were ready to linger, and May Day was happy to let us.

It was Lam’s day off, and she was sipping a chilled red at the bar when I

arrived at 6 p.m. We moved to a table between the corner of the bar and the restaurant’s massive garage doors. Influenced by the sun beaming in, we ordered a bottle of Subject to Change Wine’s Chill Pill, a fun, skincontact Californian chenin blanc that immediately set an easygoing mood.

Peterson’s wine list is organized into “Open Right Now” offerings — available by the glass — and bottles that “Should Be Opened Right Now,” half of which are under $50. May Day also serves a tight list of seasonal cocktails and a few beers and ciders on draft.

Wine in hand, we turned our attention to the food menu, where whimsical and sometimes delicate vegetable dishes sit side by side with a basket of French fries ($8) and a beefy, cheesy patty melt ($16).

We ordered nearly everything.

Hancy-Davis credits his upbringing with teaching him the importance of connecting with his ingredients. He moved to Vershire, Vt., from Cleveland, Ohio, at age 12. His family went all in on homesteading: a dairy cow, chickens, meat birds, goats, bees, an orchard, even a pond stocked with trout.

They would give a pig a name, “but not as a pet,” Hancy-Davis said. He recalled that when it was time to process the animal, a neighboring farmer would bring his tractor over, shoot the pig, and they would “spend the weekend butchering it.”

But, he added, “if the moment didn’t feel right, the farmer wouldn’t take the shot.”

Today, the chef ’s desire to stay connected with his food sources translates into working with farmers — and doing quite a bit of DIY growing for the restaurant. May Day has inherited a DARIA BISHOP

onday is the trickiest night of the week to dine out. It’s traditionally a day off for restaurants, whose employees start their weekends just as nine-to-five folks get hit with the Sunday scaries.

These days, though, even places that were known for their seven-day schedules are sticking to shortened pandemic-era hours as they navigate staffing challenges.

I’m often asked to recommend a solid Monday night meal, and, recently, my response has been “Mayday, Mayday, Mayday.” Or, more accurately: “May Day, May Day, May Day,” one of Burlington’s newest restaurants.

There are no signs of distress at the Old North End spot, which opened over Memorial Day weekend in the former Butch + Babe’s space at 258 North Winooski Avenue. In fact, co-owners Matthew Peterson and Mojo Hancy-Davis lean further into the name’s other associations: a celebration of the start of summer and a time to honor workers.

Peterson, 31, has an annual tradition of celebrating the ancient festival that falls on May 1 with a river plunge and bankside bacchanalian bash. As he and HancyDavis, 30, thought about the restaurant they wanted to create, that tradition came to mind.

“It’s the seasonality and bounty of Vermont meets the energy of going to the river with your best friends,” Peterson said. “It just kind of stuck.”

May 1 is also International Workers’ Day. Fittingly, since May Day opened, the busiest nights of its Friday-throughMonday dinner schedule have been the restaurant industry weekend: Sunday and Monday.

May Day co-owners Matthew Peterson and Mojo Hancy-Davis cutting herbs from a raised bed outside the restaurant

DARIA BISHOP

Monday, Monday « P.40 640-square-foot, double-wide garden plot at Starr Farm Gardens, which is currently half-full of plants Hancy-Davis started back in March, including tomatoes, peppers, squash and melons, along with perennials such as hyssop, oregano and yarrow.

Even the restaurant’s front patio is blossoming, thanks to planters that Peterson’s mother filled with herbs and edible flowers. Fiery orange and red nasturtiums spill over the planters’ edges; during our meal, we watched as one of the cooks carefully plucked the plants’ lily pad-like leaves.

Those nasturtium leaves were the “accidental muse” for May Day’s roasted beet dish ($11), Hancy-Davis said. The floral, spicy leaves top a magenta mound of beets, the stems are diced along with rhubarb and the whole thing is doused in an electric pink sauce made with amazake, a sweet Japanese fermented rice drink. I was grateful when our server brought out spoons to help us slurp up the sauce.

May Day’s vegetable dishes are both fertile ground for Hancy-Davis’ experimentation and callbacks to his time at Misery Loves Co. “As far as technique goes, I was hugely influenced by Aaron Josinsky,” Hancy-Davis said of Misery’s chef and co-owner. “He’s just absolutely masterful with vegetables.”

I paused after my first bite of charred cucumbers ($16) — what was happening on the plate? Was it a pickle? I couldn’t figure it out, but I went back for more.

The dish starts with slender cucumbers grown by Pomykala Farm and marinated in raw rhubarb juice, pickled 42

rhubarb brine, salt and olive oil, HancyDavis told me later.

“It seasons it with a kind of strange savoriness,” he said, which he amplifies by rounding out the plate with a rye bread sauce.

Hancy-Davis’ parents have been to May Day twice since it opened. Last week, his “very Italian” stepdad ordered the cucumber dish and said it reminded him of eel that he ate as a kid in his grandmother’s kitchen.

“Having someone dear to me say, ‘Wow, that reminds me of something from my childhood that’s an entirely different food’ — it makes me emotional,” HancyDavis said.

As fancy as some of the dishes appear, May Day’s overall approach is playful.

The squid a la plancha ($18) is served with housemade flatbread, and diners are encouraged to get their hands dirty, which I happily did.

“I love a dish that requires you to tear something, fill it up and eat with your hands,” Peterson said. “It’s food that requires engagement.”

The hearty, multi-textured, interactive dish is the kind I’d come back to eat at the bar — a little squid snack — with a glass of whatever Peterson thinks I should be drinking, and lots of napkins.

Likewise, I dove in sans-utensil the instant Hancy-Davis dropped the grilled half chicken ($23) on our table — more than two hours into our languid meal. The crispy-skinned bird was topped with a pile of charred garlic scapes, kept whole and curled around like a nest.

By 9 p.m., I was ready to wrap up.

But Lam wouldn’t let me leave without dessert.

The rhubarb upside-down cake ($8) is another delicious case of Hancy-Davis connecting with his roots, but, this time, it’s a reference to his early upbringing in Ohio. The whipped cream-topped cake is inspired by his grandma’s pineapple upside-down cake, “with cherries in the holes of the sliced pineapple,” he said — updated with the classic Vermont spring ingredient.

“I’ve worked with Mojo for years, and I had no idea he’s a sleeper pastry chef,” Peterson said. “His desserts are absolutely fucking incredible.”

The cake was simple, nostalgic and delightful. We lingered over the hefty slice, inching closer to closing time and chatting with the staff as they prepared to start their weekend. Not bad for a Monday. m

and Japanese festival foods, such as yakisoba, barbecued corn on the cob and soboro don.

The limited weekend service was a way to kill time while they waited for an essential part of the restaurant’s fire suppression system, they said.

The part has arrived, and Kaiju Kitchen will soon open its takeout-only business at 15 Center Street in St. Albans. Short and sweet, the menu sticks to Japanese specialties less commonly seen in Vermont, such as a bento box with karaage (fried chicken) and rice, Japanese curry, and a noodle dish.

Don’t expect raw fish or hand rolls.

“I was a sushi chef in Japan and in the U.S., too,” Taka said. “I can make sushi, but I have to buy good-quality fish from Japan.”

That sourcing would make sushi price-prohibitive for the sort of place the Satos want to run in St. Albans, where they have lived for a decade.

They envision Kaiju as a place for customers to grab affordable Japanese cuisine that’s “visually pleasing, delicious, filling and quick to get,” Liz said.

“We’re catering towards busy parents, like we are.”

SEVEN DAYS: Why cannoli?

SARAH HOWLEY: I was talking with Maria [Lara-Bregatta] at Café Mamajuana, where I was working. She said, “Can you do a test of some cannoli for me?” It never worked out there, but I ended up buying all the equipment and featured them at Deli 126 [now the 126] under the business I had then, Black Rose Briar. They did amazing.

A lot of credit goes to French pastry, but people travel to Boston or [other] cities to get Italian pastry, specifically cannoli. My first NECI internship was in Boston’s North End, deep in cannoli country.

I decided to focus on one amazing thing. There’s a niche in the market. It’s something that’s scalable. It’s something that I can be creative with. The “only” part of Only Cannoli is really a testament to “This is all I do, and I do it really well.”

SD: Yours are excellent. What’s the secret?

SH: [It] starts with a really awesome shell. It needs to be crisp. It needs to be flavorful on its own. I could snack on the shells like chips.

There’s wine in the batter. I use a red blend. It creates a little bit of fermentation while the batter rests. That’ll give you those nice, crispy bubbles. [The wine] also gives a ton of flavor, and it gives color.

The second step is an awesome filling. We use impastata, a drier, creamier ricotta [than] what you’d buy in the grocery store.

And, for anyone who wants to delve outside the lines, I do all sorts of flavors.

That’s the most exciting part for me: what’s seasonal or what really pairs well with the pop-up location.

At Mad River Distillers’ [tasting room], [I did] a grown-up Funfetti filling using their vanilla rum. We were at Good Times Café, and they were doing a crawfish boil; I was thinking Southern pies. I did strawberry-rhubarb and picked the rhubarb right out of my backyard. For Switchback, I did another Southern staple, pimento cheese.

Not everyone wants sweet. I used beer in the shell instead of wine and cut down the sugar, added a little more salt.

SD: What’s the most unexpected filling you’ve dreamed up?

SH: The chef [Eric Hodet] of Mamajuana and I sit and talk about what can we put in cannoli. He’s crazy. He wants me to put a Philly cheesesteak in one. m This interview was edited and condensed for clarity and length.

As a teen, Sarah Howley cooked her way through all of the baking recipes in her mom’s copy of Joy of Cooking, filling turkey-size disposable roasting tins with cookies and cupcakes for friends.

“I was dealing with a lot of normal teenage angst and managed that through baking,” Howley, 31, said with a laugh.

Her mom worked at what was then called the Inn at Essex when it was associated with the now-shuttered New England Culinary Institute. “I could see all the cool chefs and all of the cool things they were making,” Howley recalled.

After earning her NECI degree in 2013, the chef worked for numerous local food establishments, making everything from high-end pastries to bagels. In May, Howley launched Only Cannoli, which pops up at tasting rooms, bakeries and other spots in and around Burlington. She also does catering orders.

Recently, at Switchback Brewing’s Burlington taproom, Howley offered classic ricotta-filled cannoli with garnishes such as mini chocolate chips, pistachios and rainbow sprinkles. She also created an unexpected pimento cheese-filled cannoli with optional pickled jalapeños.

(All varieties cost $5.50 each.) The freshly fried and filled pastry shells were shatteringly crisp and delicious in their own right, equal partners to the fillings.

Howley dished on all things cannoli with Seven Days.

Harpoon Brewery in Windsor

Harpoon Brewery’s Parent Company to Acquire Long Trail Brewing A big deal is brewing in the New England beer world. MASS. BAY BREWING, the employee-owned parent company of HARPOON BREWERY, which is based in Windsor, Vt., and Boston, Mass., has reached an agreement to acquire LONG TRAIL BREWING. Mass. Bay cofounder and CEO DAN KENARY confirmed the transaction, which is set to close for an undisclosed amount this week. As part of the deal, Shoreham-based WHISTLEPIG will take over the current production facility of OTTER CREEK BREWING and the SHED BREWERY in Middlebury, which are both owned

by Long Trail.

“These are great, iconic brands,” Kenary told Seven Days last Friday.

“We’re very proud to be able to bring them into our family, especially as an employee-owned company.”

Mass. Bay will begin brewing Long Trail, Otter Creek and the Shed beers in Windsor, but no other immediate changes are planned. The Long Trail Brewery in Bridgewater Corners will remain the Long Trail Brewery, Kenary confirmed, and the OTTER CREEK BREWING PUB & BEER GARDEN in Middlebury will remain open for the immediate future.

Kenary cofounded Mass. Bay in 1986; he holds brewing license 001 in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The company opened its Vermont brewery in 2000; besides Harpoon, it owns Catamount Brewing, UFO Beer, Clown Shoes and Arctic Chill Hard Seltzer.

Mass. Bay partners with WhistlePig to produce the distillery’s ready-to-drink PiggyBack canned cocktails and several barrel-aged beers.

The move “puts more stakes in the ground for us as a New England craft brewer,” Kenary said. “We have really deep community roots in both [Boston and Vermont], and we view this deal as an opportunity to deepen those roots.”

The deal also brings together several brands from the same era of craft brewing. Long Trail was established in 1989, and Otter Creek hit the scene in 1991; they teamed up in 2010.

Today’s beer scene is a “completely different world” from the one in which these brands originated, Kenary said.

The U.S. had fewer than 100 breweries when his company launched in 1986; now, there are more than 9,300.

“These are beers your father and mother drank,” Kenary said. “Like Harpoon, they’ve been around for a while, so they’re not the shiny new toy.

But there’s a real sense of pioneering in the industry — these are the folks that created the craft beer revolution.”

Kenary and Long Trail CEO DANIEL FULHAM are longtime friends, Kenary said. When they hosted each other for dinners over the years, Fulham would be sure to have Harpoon IPA, and Kenary would have a six-pack of Long Trail Ale. “It’s kind of fun to be able to be open about that now, rather than having to hide it,” Kenary said with a laugh.

In a statement released on June 17, Fulham acknowledged their “shared commitment to the Vermont community and passion for making great beer.”

“So when the time came to choose someone to take the helm at Long Trail, I knew Dan and the team at Mass. Bay Brewing Company would be the right choice to carry on and protect the Long Trail legacy,” Fulham’s statement reads.

Mass. Bay will move a canning line from Middlebury to Windsor, increasing production significantly at the Harpoon brewery. The deal will also expand production capacity for WhistlePig as it moves into the Middlebury facility.

“For Vermont, having Harpoon — an in-state brewery — purchase some of [Long Trail’s] assets, and having WhistlePig — an in-state distillery — purchase other assets, it’s a great outcome,” Kenary said. “It’s not someone from out of state buying it.”

A feminist is anyone who recognizes the equality and full humanity of women and men.

CONFECTIONARY BUSINESS

Sugar Rush Middlebury Sweets sells a cornucopia of candy B Y M AG G I E RE YN O L D S mreynolds@sevendaysvt.com

“We cater to the kid in you,” reads the sign outside a rather unassuming orange motel at 1395 Route 7 in Middlebury. Once inside, visitors instantly understand. It’s a candy destination worthy of Willy Wonka: Two colorful rooms brim with chocolates, gummies, jelly beans and taffy.

With more than 1,500 varieties of candy, Middlebury Sweets is the biggest candy shop in the state of Vermont. It’s housed in the Middlebury Sweets Motel, whose rooms echo the candy theme.

Row upon row of shelving displays every candy imaginable, including 87 flavors of jelly beans, from birthday cake remix to chile mango; 67 varieties of gummies, from giant gummy fried eggs to gummy lobsters; and 52 types of taffy, from caramel corn to maple bacon. Even M&M’s come in unusual color options, including teal and cream.

Wooden bins hold lollipops and Tootsie Rolls galore; plastic bins offer numerous kinds of chocolate-covered nuts. Wander over to corners of the orange-and-whitepainted store to find Harry Potter- and Vermont maple syrup-themed candy.

Blanca Jenne opened Middlebury Sweets 11 years ago, when she noticed that the two cases of candy in her scrapbook shop were selling faster than the scrapbook materials. At the time, her scrapbook-turned-candy shop was on Ossie Road in East Middlebury.

Her husband, Brad Jenne, owned a U-Haul and self-storage business in East Middlebury. In 2017, the couple decided a storefront on Route 7 would attract more visitors driving through Middlebury. They bought the old Greystone Motel to turn

Middlebury Sweets owner Blanca Jenne with son Marcus and daughter Morgan

it into a combination motel and candy shop.

Brad suggested using a candy theme to decorate the motel rooms, Blanca said. “I kind of went nuts with it once he had the idea planted in my head,” she told Seven Days.

Each of the nine rooms boasts candy-inspired pillows and framed prints and, of course, a dish of sweets on the bedside table. “[It is] subtly done, though,” Blanca said. “Nothing over-the-top.”

Even before the move to Route 7, she planned to make Middlebury Sweets a destination.

“We did the research and made sure we were the largest candy store in Vermont,” she said. “That was our selling point.”

She relies on eight distributors to get every flavor sold by companies such as Albanese in Indiana, Taffy Town in Utah and Jelly Belly in California. The store is filled with hundreds of small bins for dispensing each candy variety.

“When we go to sell something, we try to carry most if not all [the company] has — even the unusual ones that are harder to find,” she said.

Blanca also sells candy made by South Burlington’s Birnn Chocolates of Vermont and some treats she makes in the store.

Hers include milk or dark chocolate creams, chocolate clusters, chocolate bark and peanut brittle.

The most popular of the housemade items, though, are the jumbo peanut

butter cups. “[They are] way better than Reese’s, at least I’ve been told by many. I think they are, too,” she said with a laugh.

The shop attracts a mix of tourists and locals of all ages. Blanca’s favorite part of running the store is watching adults peruse the aisles of candy.

“They are just as fun to watch as the kids,” she said. m

aturday night saw the triumphant return of BrattRock: the Brattleboro Youth Rock Festival. Since 2016, the event has showcased some of the hardest-rocking, biggest-dreaming young musicians from southern Vermont and the surrounding tristate area. The evening also marked BrattRock’s debut at the Stone Church, a venue so cool it’s worth the drive to Brattleboro just to groove under the colorful glow of its biblically themed stained glass windows.

BrattRock featured five openers along with Brattleboro favorites Moxie, who headlined. To participate, bands submitted performance videos, but BrattRock is deliberately noncompetitive, and only two bands were turned away, due to late submissions.

“The spirit of BrattRock is to give bands an opportunity to be seen. A lot of them have never played at a real music venue,” said Russell Bradbury-Carlin, who co-organized the event with Rick Holloway and Spencer Crispe. BradburyCarlin is the executive director of Youth Services, which helped sponsor the event with local recording studio Guilford Sound.

Crispe was the evening’s MC and hype man. A fixture in the local music and skate scene, he’s a bighearted grown-up who gives off eternal teenage energy. Wearing a blue Thrasher hat and a black sweatshirt, he delivered heart-on-sleeve speeches between acts, urging the audience closer and saluting those who were about to rock.

And rock they did.

The music skewed heavy, with hard rock, punk and metal influences on

chest-rattling display. Earplugs would have been a good idea.

New Hampshire’s Granite Danes, playing only their second show ever, hit the stage in blue jeans with a blast of crunchy distortion and punk swagger that produced a near-instant mosh pit. With youthful, rock-star confidence, the Danes egged the crowd on, screamed with abandon, shook their hair in whirly circles, fell in and out of rhythm, and seemed to love every second of their 20 minutes in the spotlight.

“Anybody here like ’80s metal?” asked lead guitarist Ian Hawkins, launching into Metallica’s “For Whom the Bell Tolls” and sending the crowd into a frenzy.

The evening ’s most magnetic performer, bassist/vocalist Ezra Holloway, led Man Made Tragedies, the most seasoned of the five openings acts. Tall and lanky, sporting a bowl cut and a blue sweatshirt zipped right up to his throat, Holloway wore a wily grin and led his trio through a thundering set of original punk that rattled the church floor.

“C’mon!” Holloway screamed whenever the crowd’s engagement lagged even a second. He finished the set by slamming his mic stand repeatedly against the stage.

Anybody who believes punk and metal are dead might want to hit up BrattRock next year.

Big Destiny, a seven-piece band based in Greenfield, Mass., was the night’s most eclectic group. “We like to be all over the place,” said sax player Iggy Passiglia, decked head to toe in yellow: socks, Chuck Taylors, shorts, “Garfield” T-shirt. He wasn’t kidding. The band whirled through THE KIDS ARE ALRIGHT

ournalist Theo Padnos traveled to Turkey in the fall of 2012 to report on the civil war in Syria.

Instead of writing stories about the conflict, though, he was captured by the Free Syrian Army and passed between Syrian prisons for two years.

Padnos spent a large part of those two years being blindfolded and beaten relentlessly in various prisons across the country, as he chronicled in his 2021 book Blindfold: A Memoir of Capture, Torture and Enlightenment. He spent the later part of his captivity writing a novel about an insurgency like the one in Syria — only this one happened in Vermont.

“There is a potential for craziness here in Vermont,” Padnos told Seven Days by phone. “We still have some cults in Vermont. They get themselves all enthusiastic about some prophecy or passage in their sacred literature, and before you know it, they have declared themselves a sacred entity.”

Padnos will present his in-progress novel on Friday, June 24, to kick off Woodstock’s 14th annual Bookstock, which bills itself as the “Green Mountain Festival of Words.” Padnos said he hopes he can be informative 50

BOOKS Among them are former Central Intelligence Agency covert operations officer Valerie Plame (center of the 2003 “Plame affair”), best-selling suspense novelist Jennifer McMahon and Vermont poet laureate Mary Ruefle.

In addition to author talks, the event will have a lively space on the village green with an exhibitor tent of self-published authors, virtual reality demos, a Benjamin Franklin impersonator and a large secondhand book sale.

P E TE R For Peter Rousmaniere, R O US MANIE R E chair of the Bookstock board, a priority is welcoming authors of all experience levels, from Pulitzer Prize winners to those who have never attended a showcase before.

“We have a very inclusive idea about Theo Padnos authors,” Rousmaniere told Seven Days.

Put on by Yankee Bookshop, Norman Williams Public Library, Pentangle Arts and a couple of other Woodstock-based organizations, the three-day nonprofit book festival, from June 24 to 26, will feature presentations from roughly 60 authors.

number of Vermonters. “Vermont is crazyloaded with talented authors,” said Joni B. Cole, the festival’s program director and author of two craft books for writers.

One such Vermont-based writer is Sarah Stewart Taylor of Hartland, author of the Sweeney St. George and Maggie D’arcy crime fiction series. The final book in her Maggie D’arcy trilogy, The Drowning Sea, was published on June 21. Taylor will present her new release at the festival, as well as discuss the writing process with fellow Vermont crime novelist Archer Mayor.

Taylor, who has presented at past Bookstocks, said the event always gets an excellent turnout. “It is great to connect with readers. People love to come to Woodstock in the summer,” she said.

As another way of showcasing the state’s literary talent, the festival board selects an annual winner of the Vermont Literary Inspiration Award, chosen for their “outstanding inspiration to the literary prosperity and traditions of Vermont,” according to the Bookstock website. This year’s winners are Michael DeSanto and Renee Reiner, owners of Phoenix Books, which has locations in Essex, Burlington and Rutland.

The festival returns to an in-person format this year after the Bookstock board and Norman Williams Public Library conducted modified Zoom events in 2020 and 2021.

According to Rousmaniere, past in-person festivals attracted about 1,000 attendees, two-thirds of whom he estimated were from Vermont, the rest from surrounding parts of New England. This year, though, he anticipates a larger turnout because of increased promotion and more activities on the green space, such as live music and food stands.

He said the majority of attendees are people older than 50 with lifelong reading experience.

Though one might think that phones and computers have decreased the popularity of reading, Rousmaniere believes interest in literary festivals remains as high as ever. “What one would have thought in 2010 about books becoming less read — that has not happened,” he said.

Cole has been struck by the excitement of the authors scheduled for this year’s festival. “I am so grateful for their generosity and enthusiasm,” she said. “I am just gobsmacked with how generous the authors are with their time.”

She expects the attendees to be just as enthusiastic, she said.

said. He and his colleagues will have a “full and open conversation” about the letter, Goldstein said.

But, he added, there is nothing on a first reading that would cause him to think VCFA should “reverse course.” VCFA has six master’s degree programs in fields including writing, writing for children and young adults, visual art, and music composition.

Its roughly 350 students participate in five residencies over the course of their two-year master’s programs. Residencies are seven to 10 days long.

The Montpelier campus has been home to numerous schools since its founding in 1868 as Vermont Conference Seminary, later called Montpelier Seminary, according to VCFA’s website.

Nearly 100 alumni of Vermont College of Fine Arts sent a letter to the board of trustees on Tuesday morning objecting to the college’s decision to leave Montpelier and move to Colorado. The letter is in response to the college’s announcement last week that it plans to relocate its on-campus residencies to Colorado College in Colorado Springs.

VCFA is a low-residency college founded in 2008 that offers master’s degrees in writing and other arts-related fields. Starting in July 2023, the school’s summer residencies will be held at Colorado College in Colorado Springs, Colo., according to VCFA president Leslie Ward. The school’s administration will remain in Montpelier at College Hall.(VTDigger.org first reported the news.)

Ward cited two primary factors behind the move. The first is that convening at Colorado College will allow students and faculty in each of VCFA’s six degree-granting fields to be on campus simultaneously. Space limitations on the Montpelier campus have forced VCFA to hold residencies “sequentially,” one program at a time, she said.

“We really believe and know that the boundaries between disciplines have been blurring for years,” Ward said, and students will be “interested in and inspired by” collaborating with students and faculty who specialize in other fields.

“We have a world-class faculty,” Ward said. “It’s our biggest and most wonderful asset.

And we don’t get to leverage the value of that across all our students because we never have everybody here as a whole.”

The second reason is that for nine months a year most of the college’s 11 buildings are empty, Ward said. The money spent to maintain a mostly unused campus can be used for other purposes, including scholarships, academic programming and curriculum development, she said.

“It really became a strategic decision of matching our investment with the things that really enrich our students,” Ward said.

In their letter to board members, 95 VCFA alumni express their “profound disappointment in, and strong objection to, the sudden decision to move residency activities to the campus of Colorado College, and further, to only offer in person residencies once per year.”

The group also writes that it’s concerned about how the decision was made and communicated, which “seem to directly violate VCFA’s own governance policy.”

Michael Goldstein, chair of the board of trustees, told Seven Days that the board’s unanimous decision to lease space from Colorado College was made after “very, very long and careful consideration.” Board members are in agreement that this “particular action is necessary and appropriate to maintain the academic integrity of the institution,” Goldstein said, “and to enable it to go forward with its primary mission of being a premier written and visual and performing arts institution.”

Calling Tuesday’s letter “very articulate and passionate,” Goldstein said he would expect no less from VCFA alumni.

“Our graduates don’t write screeds; they write literature,” he

the college after its predecessor, Union Institute & University, put it on the market in 2006, involved raising $14 million, Greene sa id.

“This is devastating to the city of Montpelier; it’s devastating to the faculty, staff and alumni,” Greene said of the relocation to Colorado College. “And it’s particularly devastating to all of us who worked so hard in 2006 to 2008 to prevent this exact same thing from happening. That is: saving this historic campus that had been in continuous educational use since 1868.”

VCFA is working with a Burlington-based real estate consulting firm, White + Burke, to determine future plans for the campus, which could mean selling or leasing many of its buildings. The school is considering “practical uses” that will also be “an incredible asset to the Montpelier community,” according to Ward.

“This is a beautiful property,” she said. “We are the stewards of it, and we take that really seriously. We have a vested interest in the way these buildings are developed.”

David White, founder of the consulting firm, is a former director of community development for the City of Montpelier. Noting that VCFA ALUMNI UPSET

Bob Hooker of Pittsford contributed a 19th-century horseshoe from his collection of horseshoes found at his late grandparents’ blacksmith shop-turned-home.

“Every time we dig up anything around the house, there [are] horseshoes and random pieces of iron that have been worked on by a blacksmith,” said Hooker, who has lived in the 19-century home for the past 24 years.

Manley herself provided an item for the exhibit: a painted dresser by selftaught Alabama folk artist Mose Tolliver.

Housing is a possibility, he noted.

exhibit at Atlanta’s High Museum of Art, where she formerly worked.

“It was a community show, and it was incredible work. I always thought that it was a neat way to bring people into the museum,” Manley said.

Manley was also inspired by museum founder Henry Sheldon’s penchant for collecting. He acquired a variety of historical objects and artwork related to Addison County (and beyond) that he displayed throughout the museum, which was formerly his home.

“Henry Sheldon was a passionate collector, and so are people today,” Manley said. “[The exhibit] is very representative of the diversity and diverse interests of people in Addison County.”

Adjacent to the room holding the new exhibit, Manley plans to curate one called “Addison County Kids Collect,” which will feature pictures of local kids with their own collections.

“Clearly, one of the predominant [ideas] that comes right to mind is residential uses,” White said, adding that possibilities include senior housing, multifamily housing and condominiums. He said VCFA already leases space in its buildings to other organizations.

“I think right now the college is open to anything that makes sense,” White said.

“Because their educational model doesn’t require this physical plant, the challenge here is to figure out what kinds of uses are appropriate.”

The June 24 reception will celebrate “Addison County Collects,” as well as two other new exhibits: “The Elephant in the Archives: Silences, Erasures & Relevance” and “Sculptures of Perseverance: Ukraine-Inspired Sculptures by Chuck Herrmann.” The former tells the stories of women who were not included in written history, and the latter showcases multiple items made of Vermont wood.

The museum also plans to host a series of talks in the late summer through fall by collectors who contributed to “Addison County Collects.” “[It] is a really great exhibit that touches upon a lot of ways that people interact with objects,” Skenyon said. m

Ward, who succeeded Greene as president, has run the college since 2019.

She’s a former trustee with an MBA from Harvard University and a master’s degree in writing from VCFA, according to the college website. She said she’s committed to “bringing [VCFA] to its next iteration.”

a gleeful mashup that pinballed from a tripped-out cover of Tyler, the Creator’s “Earfquake” to a soulful spin through Vulfpeck’s “Wait for the Moment.”

The other opening acts were Pencil Biters from Londonderry, Vt., and Golden Marilyn, from Keene, N.H. Local heroes Moxie, BrattRock veterans who recently played the Waking Windows music festival in Winooski and just finished their first tour, closed out the night. Moxie’s groovy, danceable rock is reminiscent of summer days and was a nice break from some of the earsplitting opening bands.

Though only 18, vocalist and rhythm guitarist Rei Kimura, blessed with a mesmerizing alto, said it’s special to share the stage with younger musicians who are standing where her band stood five years ago. To be in “a space where you can interact with other musicians and be inspired is really exciting.”

The crowd was family-friendly and sizable. Though not packed, it was studded with supportive adults but somehow still managed to feel like a teen basement party. Thankfully, high ceilings and a cool night kept it from smelling like one.

A renovated Victorian Gothic church that dates back to 1875, the Stone Church was opened by Robin Johnson in 2015.

He claims that he never really intended to open a music venue, but the church called to him. “That room is just a magical space,” he said.

The stage was constructed from the church pews, and the original altar remains, as does the pipe organ, which looms stage right like a hulking metal deity. Johnson hung more than 100 sound panels around the church, creating one-of-a-kind acoustics that have drawn praise from the likes of Living Color’s Vernon Reid. Johnson said Reid was so taken with the Stone Church’s sound, he proclaimed, “If you sound bad in this room, something is wrong with you.”

Indeed, the sound on Saturday was crisp and consistent. Even through lightning-fast changeovers, the good energy never lagged for a second. The kids screamed, danced, hugged, and jumped up and down a lot. The whole night felt like a wonderful release after two years cooped up behind closed doors and masks.

BrattRock was a welcome reminder of live music’s capacity to create unforgettable moments — and of how rock music can send your heart racing and make you want to jump for no particular reason. m

Modern Love

From immigrant to “painter laureate”: Shelburne Museum pays homage to 20th-century artist Luigi Lucioni B Y PA M EL A POL ST O N • ppolston@sevendaysvt.com

n Saturday, June 25, the Shelburne Museum opens the exhibition “Luigi Lucioni: Modern Light” in its Pizzagalli Center for Art and Education. Anyone who may have seen the online version in recent months should not think, Been there; done that. The in-person show is both more extensive — with 48 paintings, 11 etchings and one plate — and more visually spectacular. In a way, paintings are like friends and lovers: No matter how good virtual or print reproductions might be, an intimate proximity to the original is always better. And for admirers of skillful brushwork, Lucioni is swoon-worthy.

“Modern Light” presents a comprehensive survey of landscape, portrait and still-life work by the Italian American artist (1900-88). Those who possess a passing familiarity with his oeuvre might think of birch trees, barns and other vistas of the Vermont countryside. Indeed, Lucioni came to spend a lot of time painting en plein air in the Green Mountain State, and Shelburne Museum founder Electra Havemeyer Webb was an important patron. In 1937, Vermont Life magazine even declared him the state’s unofficial “painter laureate.”

But first, Lucioni, who was 10 when he arrived at Ellis Island with his mother and three sisters, became a New York City artist.

His talent was evident early and perhaps spared him the immigrant’s typical fate of factory work. He was schooled at the Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art and the National Academy of Design and won coveted residencies at the Tiffany Foundation. Lucioni was steeped in the city’s thriving creative culture — as well as its largely closeted gay community.

Gallerists, collectors and other artists began to take notice of the young realist painter even as his skills evolved alongside — and in contrast to — abstract expressionism. Lucioni’s style drew upon historical artistic conventions, and yet he was “recognizably up to date for his mid-century audiences,” writes Shelburne Museum director Tom Denenberg in a new book about the artist that accompanies this exhibit.

SEVEN DAYS JUNE 22-29, 2022

“Village of Stowe, Vermont” by Luigi Lucioni

“At once timeless and timely, [Lucioni] captured the elliptical, even enigmatic, nature of his adopted New England, as well as the pervasive sense of alienation manifest in international creative circles in the decades that bracketed World War II,” he suggests in Luigi Lucioni: Modern Light.

In a walk-through of the exhibition last week, curator Katie Wood Kirchhoff pointed to the unpeopled scenes and to a practical “modern” manifestation: telephone poles. Lucioni’s Vermont landscapes are masterworks of precision, his lighting incandescent, but he did not shy away from including such commonplace, era-specific cues. An actual telephone, circa 1928, and what appears to be a Campbell’s soup can sit on a table in one of his still lifes.

In the book, Denenberg notes that Lucioni disdained categorizations, an

attitude that was itself modern. He also cites art historian Bruce Robertson’s comment that modernism was not just a “‘Manhattan project.’” It was essentially, writes Denenberg, a “response to the rapidly changing conditions of life in the twentieth century.” Modernism eschewed the sentimentality of the previous era, as well as “the kinetic embrace of the Impressionists. They were replaced, in Robertson’s words, by a ‘certain stillness.’”

If Lucioni shared similarities with contemporaries such as Andrew Wyeth, Rockwell Kent and Edward Hopper, two other influences shaped his unique approach to the canvas.

“He had studied printmaking,” Kirchhoff said. “His works definitely depend on line.”

(And at times, Lucioni’s livelihood depended on his ability to make and sell prints.)

Significantly, Lucioni absorbed his European artistic lineage during several trips back to Italy in the late 1920s. There is something of the Renaissance in this 20th-century American modernist-realist.

Observing a pair of his still lifes several years apart, Kirchhoff noted the evolution of Lucioni’s attention to the smallest details, the growing veracity of his brushstrokes. He even subtly perfects imperfection, as it were, such as replicating the bruises on fruits.

In her own essay in the book, Kirchhoff cites an early 20th-century critic named Frank Crowninshield, who was enthralled by the confluence of Lucioni’s Italian and American artistic sensibilities. “He seems to see the world through the eyes of his ancestors, but conveys his impressions of it in the conventions of his contemporaries,” Crowninshield wrote in 1928. He also

lauded Lucioni’s “fresh and assured use of colour.”

A stunning example of the latter distinguishes Lucioni’s “Portrait of Ethel Waters,” from 1939.

The popular singer of concert and Broadway renown is wearing a vivid red dress, in contrast with the chartreuse drapery behind her. Lucioni posed her looking to one side, away from the viewer; her face is unsmiling, her arms crossed against her waist. The painting’s resplendent colors fairly leap from the canvas, yet it is Waters’ inscrutable expression — of resignation? sorrow? — that holds the gaze. It’s hard not to think that even fame and glamour didn’t shield Waters from the realities of being Black in America.

Two other portraits in the exhibition — of fellow painters Jared French and Paul Cadmus — speak to Lucioni’s involvement in the gay community.

But while those two men were public about their sexuality, in life and in their artwork, Lucioni remained more discreet.

Kirchhoff admitted to some misgivings about outing the artist now, given that he had never done so himself.

In the book, however, contributing writer David Brody devotes an essay, titled

ni’s Queer Circle,” to the work and interactions of these artists in a historical period of extreme homophobia. Lucioni’s 1930 portrait of French might be a straightforward representation, “yet given the nature of their relationship, the portrait becomes more intriguing,” Brody writes; “it is as if Lucioni devised a tribute to his relationship with this handsome young artist through paint.”

“Resting Athlete (Amateur Resting),” from 1938, is more ambiguous and more suggestive. It’s not quite a portrait, as the sleeping figure, clad in shorts and socks, is prone, his face turned away from view.

Lacking contextual clues, we are left simply to marvel at Lucioni’s impeccable execution of the foreshortened body, lustrous skin, velvety robe and plaid flannel bedding as the young man dreams. m

CURATOR TALK: ‘LUIGI LUCIONI: MODERN LIGHT’: Katie Wood Kirchhoff gives a guided tour of the exhibition of paintings by the Italian American artist, who painted in Vermont in the mid-20th century. Shelburne Museum, Saturday, June 25, 2 p.m. Info, 985-3346.

Like many tiny towns in Vermont, East Hardwick (population 1,166) has its own post office and not much else. Sure, there’s a popular destination for plant lovers — Summersweet Gardens Nursery at Perennial Pleasures — but locals and visitors alike might easily miss the art gallery. In fact, White Water Gallery shares quarters with Teuscher’s Antique Auto Enclave on River Street. “Cars as sculpture and art in the same venue,” declares owner James Teuscher, a blacksmith and teacher, on his website. Gallery hours are limited, so he advises calling for an appointment.

In addition to Teuscher’s automobilia and personal art collection, a current temporary exhibition is well worth making that call. Titled “Protest, Washington, D.C., 1967, 1968, 1969,” it comprises 55 framed black-and-white photographs taken by Ross Connelly. In the tumultuous late ’60s, he was a college student at Howard University and had a front-row seat to the demonstrations in the nation’s capital.

But he wasn’t sitting down. Connelly — the now-retired copublisher and editor of the Hardwick Gazette — participated in many protests ignited by the Vietnam War and the push for civil rights. And in 1967, he explains in an artist statement, Connelly “volunteered to be a grip for a West German television journalist” who was covering the March on the Pentagon. More than 100,000 people rallied against the war in that event. After graduation in 1968, he writes, he was working for the Poor People’s Campaign when Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated “and troops occupied parts of the city.”

A student of political science at Howard and in graduate school at the University of Michigan, Connelly also pursued training in photography. Both interests served his eventual career as a newspaperman. After all, “Journalism is the first rough draft of history,” to quote the late Washington Post publisher Philip Graham.

Connelly’s dramatic photos — printed from negatives he’d stashed in a closet for decades — are not just the stuff of nostalgia. “The events were over a half-century ago,” he writes, “but their significance is current.”

In a phone call, Connelly observed some then-and-now issues: the struggle for racial justice and women’s rights; voter suppression; and presidents, in the early 1970s and recently, “who went off the rails.” But Connelly insisted that positive changes resulted from the protests of the 1960s.

“We’ve had a Black president; we have a Black female vice president,” he said. At the hearings of the House Select Committee investigating the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, he pointed out, “it’s Bennie Thompson [who is Black], Liz Cheney and Zoe Lofgren sitting up there. That didn’t happen by chance.”

Asked what he hopes viewers might take away from his exhibit, Connelly said, “Hopefully, the photos show the fight now is to recognize what was won then and not let it be rolled back. Keeping the vote came from the fight to get the vote. Students rebelled in the 1960s. Their grandchildren are the leaders pushing for gun safety.

“Democracy is fragile, and the system is complex,” Connelly continued. “Then and now, there is a need to speak up, speak out and be engaged.”

“Protest, Washington, D.C., 1967, 1968, 1969,” is on view through July 17; a reception is Sunday, July 10, 4 to 7 p.m. Pictured: Howard University student leaders in 1968.

We Will Be Fooled Again

I took a bit of a sojourn the other night and did what I call the “music creeper” move. I wandered downtown Burlington and popped into different shows for a few songs at each, like I was sampling a flight of beer or scarfing down an appetizer combo.

In general, it’s not my favorite MO. I’d much rather pick a show, set up stakes in the corner and immerse myself in the sounds for the evening. But sometimes it’s a good way to get the pulse of the town, which has become a slightly tougher task, post-pandemic. I’m seeing fewer and fewer show cancellations, which is great. But there’s still a sort of shakiness around the entire scene, as if we were all holding our collective breath.

With big fests Waking Windows and the Burlington Discover Jazz Festival behind us, there’s reason for optimism.

Slowly and steadily, we’ve eased into reactivating a live music scene that was largely dormant for more than a year. As I walked up to Honky Tonk Tuesday at Radio Bean and saw the massive crowd queued up on a weeknight, my heart did a little fist bump — though that could have been the greasy-ass burger I’d inflicted on my vascular system.

Another sign that summer is here and things are looking more normal is the return of the abnormal to our 60

streets. The Festival of Fools returns to downtown Burlington for its 15th year the first weekend of August. Festival organizers released the lineup last Friday and, as always, it’s loaded with oddities and attractions. Contortionists, acrobats, magicians, break-dancers, comedians and all sorts of other performers engaged in wild acts of tomfoolery will take over the Church Street Marketplace and other downtown venues.

There’s plenty of music along with the fools.

Colombian pop act MONSIEUR PERINÉ play a free show on Friday, August 5, in City Hall Park as part of Burlington City Arts’ Twilight Series. The Latin Grammy Award winners recently released their new single, “Nuestra Canción,” which hit No. 1 on the TikTok U.S. chart — yes, that’s a thing — garnering more than 2 billion views. (Billion? Well, I guess that’s why the TikTok chart exists. Fuck, I’m old.)

WILLIE WATSON, a founding member of OLD CROW MEDICINE SHOW, is busking sets on Church Street for the entirety of the festival. He also headlines the official after-party on Saturday, August 6, at

Nectar’s, with local support from WILD

LEEK RIVER and BEG, STEAL OR BORROW.

The son of African desert blues pioneer ALI FARKA TOURÉ, VIEUX FARKA TOURÉ returns to Burlington for the first time since 2015. Like Watson, the Malian singer and guitarist busks during the festival. He also headlines Friday’s afterparty at Nectar’s, with an opening set from local funk-via-West Africa band BARIKA. Brooklyn’s SAINT MELA headline a free show in City Hall Park on Saturday night, along with local neo-soul band ACQUA MOSSA. Throw in New Orleans street jazz act SOGGY PO’ BOYS, Vaudevillian punk and swing band the DITRANI BROTHERS, Burlington’s own street band BRASS BALAGAN, and dozens of other musicians and performers, and we’re looking at a stacked lineup of fools and tunes. Be sure to pop over to vermontfestivaloffools.com for more information.

Release Day

The summer is heating up with new music from Vermont musicians. There have been many new releases this

month, including some from new faces on the scene.

First up is Plainfield’s SOLE OCEANNA. The 15-year-old singer recently recorded a five-song EP in Nashville, Tenn., at Hey World Creative with producer SEAN ROGERS (LUKE BRYAN, SHANIA TWAIN, DIERKS BENTLEY). On June 3, she released the first single, “Not Feelin’ It,” which she wrote with SEBASTIAN GARCIA, best known for writing smash hit “Butter” by K-pop act BTS. The track, boasting equal parts rockand-roll attitude and pop sheen, is a confident statement of knowing what one wants in life. “I’m not trying to burst your bubble / But your vibe, I’m just not feelin’ it,” Oceanna sings.

It’s a strong opening salvo from an artist who seems poised to break out in the near future.

Indie pop artist ANDRIANA CHOBOT is preparing to release her newest album, the full-length Return to Sincere. Chobot dropped the advance single “Like It’s the Last Time” in December, a jazz-tinged slice of pop showcasing her silky voice and a nice Fender Rhodes piano riff.

Return to Sincere hits streaming services on Friday, June 24, but fans can get a preview the night before: Chobot and her band play a release party at the Light Club Lamp Shop this Thursday, June 23. Singer-songwriter RYAN SWEEZEY joins the bill, fresh off releasing his own new record, Out Searching. Also

playing are Americana rockers DANNY & THE PARTS, who recently released the excellent EP Making Believe.

Burlington musician and producer WILL KEEPER is back with his first new music since 2021’s Nosebleeds. The singer-songwriter dropped “Security” on June 17, a gorgeously arranged song full of WASHED OUT-like ennui and textures and hushed, intimate vocals.

It’s a natural progression for Keeper, who had one of the stronger debuts in local memory with his 2020 record, Bear, an album straddling the line between bedroom pop and full-blown R&B. In an email, Keeper said the song is about his frustrations with hookup culture and “skepticism of what one means to their partner(s).” It’s a first salvo from the artist, who plans to

the headlining set from roost.world. QUIZ KID closes out the show with a late-night DJ set.

Wrapping up the month’s local releases, COSMIC THE COWBOY just debuted a new single from their forthcoming LP. “Cruise Control” is a sunny slice of indie rock from the Burlington band, its first release since 2020’s On Brand. They plan to release a single every month, leading up to full EP drop in September.

You can stream “Cruise Control” now on all streaming platforms.

Whew! Got all that?

release two EPs before the end of the summer. “Security” is streaming now on Spotify.

If that isn’t enough new Vermont music to satisfy you, the synth-obsessed indie dance outfit ROOST.WORLD return, following their phenomenally weird and endlessly danceable 2021 LP, Cheapbabyy27. The band is set to release its latest single, “New York,” on Tuesday, June 28, complete with a music video. According to front person and songwriter ZACK SCHUSTER, the band will release another single and video in July, followed by a brand-new EP in August.

Just as exciting is the return of roost. world’s popular Burlington Electronic Department party, which they’ll throw on Thursday, June 30, at Radio Bean.

The show opens with a set of live ambient music by TAKAHIKO MATSUI, aka DJ TAKA, followed by CASPER ELECTRONICS, Brattleboro indie rockers THUS LOVE and

biased and totally arbitrary greatest song in the world (today).

Look, anyone who tells you they know what their favorite song is — and that it’s always the same — is a head case. Seriously, run away from that person. For me, the greatest song in the world changes at least once a week, sometimes within 24 hours.

Let’s honor that and showcase what we think the greatest song in the world (today) is, shall we? I’ll go first, but if you have a song to propose, send it my way at farnsworth@sevendaysvt. com. All I need is a link and a short description of why you think it’s the greatest.

Today’s pick: “Astral Man” by North Carolina indie rockers the NUDE PARTY. It’s the greatest song in the world (today) due to its perfect blend of psychedelic contours, drugged-out grooves and my current favorite lyric: “Space cadet, you’ve flown the coop.” m 6V-VPB061522 1

REVIEW this

Legend has it that the Seven Days music library is massive, occupying seven stories of a secret building in Burlington that only those who have held the seat of music editorious can access. Is it true? Um, why would I tell you that? I’m not trying to get disappeared.

Anyway, here are six new Vermont records that may (or may not) now be stored in a secret vault.

Dave Kleh, To Pluto and Beyond

Freddie Losambe, Estates of the Realm

It’s a challenge to find a more prolific local artist than Burlington’s

South Burlington rapper and producer Freddie Losambe has put

(SELF-RELEASED, CD, DIGITAL)

Dave Kleh. A real estate agent by day and musician by night, he’s released seven albums in eight years, starting with 2014’s Me & My Friends. Throughout all of his releases, Kleh has channeled a mix of influences from the ’70s and ’80s and created a froth of weird space rock, tongue-in-cheek humor and genuine emotional sincerity. For his latest record, To Pluto and Beyond, Kleh writes that he “decided to get away from Earth for a while and take a quick trip to Pluto.”

The trip became a 31-song intergalactic romp, featuring cuts such as “Pre-Flight Checklist,” where Kleh runs through his inventory before jetting off to the coldest (ex-) planet. (He’s bringing his toothbrush, extra socks, Mad Magazine collection and a lucky, lucky snorkel.) As usual, Kleh is largely a one-man show, playing all of the instruments himself, save for some choice lead guitar cameos by Barbacoa’s Bill Mullins. And even though To Pluto and Beyond’s cover features Kleh’s cartoon face superimposed on a rocket, barreling through our solar system, there’s some true introspection at the end of his odyssey across the stars.

“I’m outside the universe,” Kleh sings on “Outside the Universe,” the album’s penultimate track. “I finally broke through / And now I’m looking back at you / There’s a dot of light in the rearview/ And that’s you.”

KEY TRACK: “Bon Voyage!” WHY: A cross between a kids’ song and an episode of “NOVA,” the song features an egregious use of the word “Roger.” WHERE: davekleh.bandcamp.com

Peter Bixby, Learn to Be Happy (SELF-RELEASED, DIGITAL)

Peter Bixby usually handles the low end, playing bass and singing for Burlington jam act the Aerolites. On Learn to Be Happy, he steps into the spotlight for his second solo record. Something of a concept album, its story centers on a man who is falsely diagnosed by his doctors and eventually sent to an alternate dimension that, the more he describes it over the LP’s 10 tracks, sounds like the world we live in. “In this world justice does not exist and the only thing you can do is Learn To Be Happy!”

Bixby writes on his Bandcamp page. For a record with such dark themes, Learn to Be Happy is a colorful, at times almost pop-leaning indie rock record with clever, nuanced songwriting. Even when the album pushes into jammier territories, such as the almost seven-minute-long “Find Me,” the music stays intriguing enough to keep the narrative going.

KEY TRACK: “Heal” WHY: Bixby taps into a rich vein of Southern rock but keeps it fuzzed out. WHERE: peterbixby.bandcamp.com

(EQUAL EYES RECORDS, DIGITAL)

out thoughtful, nuanced music for more than a decade. Over his robust discography, Losambe displays wide-ranging songwriting ability, moving in and out of rock, folk and hip-hop yet never sacrificing his unique voice and storytelling style. With his latest LP, Estates of the Realm, Losambe shows off a more conceptual side. In the process, he crafts a brand of hip-hop that is full of deep introspection and a desire to educate with a through line of spirituality. There’s a feel to the record of a man grappling with thorny societal issues, from addiction (“Bottom Shelf”) to the gentrification of Black communities (“Block Leaders”) to the consequences of turning the other cheek (“The Sword”).

Losambe’s lyrical deftness is on display throughout the record, though he also included a gorgeously designed lyric pamphlet with the digital release to give deeper insight into his verses. There are few, if any, rappers in the local scene putting out the kind of hip-hop Losambe is producing. Each aspect of Estates of the Realm reveals Losambe’s artistry and high-level craftsmanship.

KEY TRACK: “Future Past (ft. Robscure)” WHY: Losambe delves into questions of faith with lyrics such as “I don’t know why God insists on this soil keeping / A firm sense of guilt the only thing from keeping him leaking / Duty and death don’t unlock the doors / they only booby trap the inside of the floors.” WHERE: equaleyesrecords.bandcamp.com

Fern Maddie, Ghost Story (SELF-RELEASED, DIGITAL)

Northern Vermont folk artist Fern Maddie released one of the best local EPs of 2020 with her dark, noir-tinged record North Branch River. She returns with her first full-length: the enticing Ghost Story. The record is a hybrid of sorts, featuring Maddie reworking a handful of traditional songs such as “The Maid on the Shore” and “Hares on the Mountain” alongside new originals. The traditional tunes “explore themes of courtship, sexual violence, and the power of women’s voices,” Maddie wrote by email.

She also reworks traditional song “Ca’ the Yowes” into a queer love story. Her own compositions stand proudly beside the traditional ones, showing a dynamic songwriter with a voice that moves between delicate and haunting with ease. Ace producer and musician Colin McCaffrey produced the record and plays bass, fiddle and viola.

Ruminations, Places Have Their Moments

All Night Boogie Band, Taste These Blues

(SELF-RELEASED, DIGITAL)

(SELF-RELEASED, DIGITAL)

Ruminations is an indie electronic and ambient project of Winooski-based musician and producer Greg Bonsignore. During the last few years and amid the global pandemic, Bonsignore operated as something of a nomad, living in no fewer than five different zip codes in 20 months. His original plan for Places Have Their Moments was a collaborative project with other writers and musicians, but, as the pandemic stretched on, he decided to finish the record himself. The result is a strange, angular collection of bedroom indie that feels almost dislocated. Bonsignore wrote on his Bandcamp page that he recorded the album largely in stolen moments as he moved up and down the country. Perhaps that’s what gives the album such a bleary-eyed-at-2-a.m. type of cool.

But Places Have Their Moments is suffused with a simultaneous sense of focus and abandon that makes it increasingly intriguing as it plays out.

Vermont has seen its fair share of blues-tinged jam bands over the years — some good, some bad. It could be easy to dismiss newcomers All Night Boogie Band as just another collection of roots rockers hiding a love of Phish beneath a bluesy exterior.

That would be a mistake. The young Burlington band has put out a record brimming with love for the blues, as well as hints of jazz and soul music. Taste These Blues, the band’s debut, showcases guitarist Brenden Casey’s strong and studious songwriting and lead singer Jessica Leone’s powerful, soulful vocals. Over eight tracks, the band showcases impressive instrumental prowess but also hints at a strong live show. It’s a compelling debut, full of character and promise.

KEY TRACK: “Shake Your Money Maker” WHY: The reinterpretation of the Elmore James classic features smoking-hot slide guitar work by Casey. WHERE: allnightboogieband. bandcamp.com

KEY TRACK: “Slow Motion Crossing” WHY: Bonsignore channels Ultravox and Gary Numan with a glitchy, dark vibe. WHERE: ruminationsmusic.bandcamp.com

on screen Marcel the Shell With Shoes On ★★★★★ COURTESY OF A24 PRESS

B

ack in the days when online video was still a novelty, a series of short stop-motion-animated mockumentaries called “Marcel the Shell With Shoes On” caused a YouTube sensation. Now Marcel stars in a forthcoming theatrical feature directed

by Dean Fleischer-Camp, who made the original series.

Equally suitable for kids and adults, Marcel the Shell With Shoes On will have a special in-person screening on Sunday, June 26, at 2:30 p.m. at Main Street Landing Film House in Burlington, presented by the Vermont International Film Foundation (free; reserve tickets at vtiff.org).

Vermont native Nick Paley, who cowrote and -edited the movie, will do a postscreening Q&A via Zoom from his home in Los Angeles.

MOVIE REVIEW

The deal

Marcel the Shell (voice of comedian Jenny Slate) looks like a kid’s craft project: a one-inch-tall shell equipped with a single googly eye and a pair of tiny shoes. If he were lurking in the nooks and crannies of your home, pilfering a slice of bread for a mattress and the occasional egg for sustenance, you probably wouldn’t notice him. And that’s how Marcel and his grandmother, Connie (Isabella Rossellini), have managed to eke out an existence in a rambling Airbnb.

One day, a long-term guest named Dean (Fleischer-Camp) notices the pair. A filmmaker, he befriends Marcel and trains his camera on him, producing the faux documentary we’re watching.

Marcel reveals that his kind normally live in communities of at least 20, but a series of tragic events has left him and Connie alone. Dean offers to use the resources of the human world to help Marcel find his lost family. But will the price be higher than a small, secretive shell is willing to pay?

Will you like it?

So, just how twee is Marcel the Shell With Shoes On? No doubt about it: This movie is definitely for you if you love miniatures, crafts and cunning little dioramas that look like they belong on Pinterest — all swathed in Bianca Cline’s gauzy cinematography.

You don’t have to love that aesthetic to love the movie, though, because there’s nothing cloying about Slate’s performance.

SEVEN DAYS JUNE 22-29, 2022

An unusual Airbnb squatter befriends a filmmaker in Fleischer-Camp’s charming all-ages film.

Marcel is cute, yes, and he’s a naïf about the vast world that looms beyond his home.

But he’s also a survivor with a tough, sassy side and a sharp eye for human contradictions. Like Dean, we quickly learn not to underestimate him.

In children’s fiction, anthropomorphized objects occupy a place partway between the human and the nonhuman, their liminal status letting them serve as outlets for children’s ambivalence about aspects of the adult world. Here, the insular, homesteading lifestyle of Marcel and Connie initially evokes memories of the pandemic lockdown. The two of them are a pod, mourning a larger community that seems lost forever.

As we get closer to them, though, we realize that the shells aren’t simply metaphors for modern humanity. Their culture and customs are interwoven with ours — they love “60 Minutes” and quote the poetry of Philip Larkin — yet they retain an otherness and a critical distance from us.

When Dean introduces Marcel to the internet, clips starring the shell go viral.

Marcel is initially thrilled by the new tech tools and tickled by his fame. But when that fame begins to compromise his privacy — and threaten Connie’s

precarious health — he develops a darker attitude.

“This isn’t a community,” Marcel says ruefully, watching hundreds of unhelpful comments scroll by on the screen. “It’s an audience.” The critique of social media isn’t new, but perhaps it takes a sentient shell to put it so succinctly.

Marcel the Shell With Shoes On may express the millennial generation’s yearning to retreat and cocoon, to take refuge from an overwhelmingly connected world in crafts and cuteness and an illusion of self-sufficiency. Marcel’s awed terror when he gets a view of the city outside is poignant. But Connie offers a counterpoint, counseling him — and us — not to fear the unfamiliar. Rossellini anchors the film with a performance that conveys gentle humor and hard-won maturity with every word.

If Marcel the Shell With Shoes On has one false note, it’s a scene in which a TV celebrity shows up to inform us that Marcel’s story illustrates the value of community. We already know that!

But the moment is a blessedly brief one in a movie that almost never talks down to its audience. It’s the rare film that adults can enjoy whether they have kids in tow

or not. And if they do, the post-film discussions could be fruitful and fascinating.

THE SECRET WORLD OF ARRIETTY (2012;

HBO Max, rentable): Marcel and his family aren’t the first tiny, sentient fictional creatures to live unseen in a human dwelling. Remember The Borrowers, by Mary Norton? This Studio Ghibli animation adapts the children’s book series with art and whimsy.

Fill the grid using the numbers 1-6, only once in each row and column. The numbers in each heavily outlined “cage” must combine to produce the target number in the top corner, using the mathematical operation indicated. A onebox cage should be filled in with the target number in the top corner. A number can be repeated within a cage as long as it is not the same row or column.

Place a number in the empty boxes in such a way that each row across, each column down and each 9-box square contains all of the numbers one to nine. The same numbers cannot be repeated in a row or column.

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY BY ROB BREZSNY REAL JUNE 23-29 earliest memories. Why? It will strengthen your foundation, nurture your roots and bolster your stability.

CANCER (JUN. 21-JUL. 22)

Author John Banville wrote what might serve as a manifesto for some of us Crabs: “To be concealed, protected, guarded: that is all I have ever truly wanted. To burrow down into a place of womby warmth and cower there, hidden from the sky’s indifferent gaze and the harsh air’s damagings. The past is such a retreat for me. I go there eagerly, shaking off the cold present and the colder future.” If you are a Crab who feels a kinship with Banville’s approach, I ask you to refrain from indulging in it during the coming months. You’re in a phase of your long-term astrological cycle when your destiny is calling you to be bolder and brighter than usual, more visible and influential, louder and stronger.

ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19): Aries actor Marilu Henner has an unusual condition: hyperthymesia. She can remember in detail voluminous numbers of past events. For instance, she vividly recalls being at the Superdome in Orleans on September Artists WillNew Kasso Condry, Jennifer 15, 1978, where she and her actor friends watched a boxing match Herrera Condry and their daughter, Spinks and Muhammad Ali. You Alexa, are between the teamLeon behind Juniper probably don’t have hyperthymesia, Aries, but reative Arts. The trio creates I invite you to approximate that state. Now rtwork that features Black and is an excellent time to engage in a leisurely rown people, with themes of Afroreview of your life story, beginning with your

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): Poet Elizabeth Bishop noted that many of us are “addicted to the gigantic.” We live in a “mostly huge and roaring, glaring world.” As a counterbalance, she wished for “small works of art, short poems, short pieces of music, intimate, lowvoiced, and delicate things.” That’s the spirit I recommend to you in the coming weeks, Taurus. You will be best served by consorting with subtle, unostentatious, elegant influences.

Enjoy graceful details and quiet wonders and understated truths.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun. 20): In the coming

weeks, you will need even more human touch than usual. Your mental, physical and spiritual health require that you have your skin in contact with people who care for you and are eager to feel their skin against yours. A Tumblr blogger named Friend-Suggestion sets the tone for the mood I hope you cultivate. They write, “I love! human contact! with! my friends!

So put your leg over mine! Let our knees touch!

Hold my hand! Make excuses to feel my arm by drawing pictures on my skin! Stand close to me! Lean into my space! Slow dance super close to me! Hold my face in your hands or kick my foot to get my attention! Put your arm around me when we’re standing or sitting around! Hug me from behind at random times!”

LEO (Jul. 23-Aug. 22): “We wish to make rage into a fire that cooks things rather than a fire of conflagration,” writes author Clarissa Pinkola Estés. That’s good advice for you right now. Your anger can serve you, but only if you use it to gain clarity — not if you allow it to control or immobilize you. So here’s my counsel: Regard your wrath as a fertilizing fuel that helps deepen your understanding of what you’re angry about — and shows you how to engage in constructive actions that will liberate you from what is making you angry.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sep. 22): Virgo author Jeanette Winterson was asked, “Do you fall in love often?” She replied, “Yes, often. With a view, with a book, with a dog, a cat, with numbers, with friends, with complete strangers,

with nothing at all.” Even if you’re not usually as prone to infatuation and enchantment as Winterson, you could have many experiences like hers in the coming months. Is that a state you would enjoy? I encourage you to welcome it. Your capacity to be fascinated and captivated will be at a peak. Your inclination to trust your attractions will be extra high.

Sounds fun!

LIBRA (Sep. 23-Oct. 22): Libran lexicographer Daniel Webster (1758-1843) worked hard to create his dictionary, and it became highly influential in American culture. He spent more than 26 years perfecting it. To make sure he could properly analyze the etymologies, he learned 28 languages. He wrote definitions for 70,000 words, including 12,000 that had never been included in a published dictionary. I trust you are well under way with your own Websterlike project, Libra. This entire year is an excellent time to devote yourself with exacting diligence to a monumental labor of love. If you haven’t started it yet, launch now. If it’s already in motion, kick it into a higher gear.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “Shouldn’t the distance between impossible and improbable be widened?” asks poet Luke Johnson. I agree that it should, and I nominate you to do the job. In my astrological view, you now have the power to make progress in accomplishing goals that some people may regard as unlikely, fantastical and absurdly challenging. (Don’t listen to them!) I’m not necessarily saying you will always succeed in wrangling the remote possibilities into practical realities. But you might. And even if you’re only partially victorious, you will learn key lessons that bolster your abilities to harness future amazements.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Sagit-

tarian novelist George Eliot wrote, “It is very hard to say the exact truth, even about your own immediate feelings — much harder than to say something fine about them which is not the exact truth.” I believe you will be exempt from this rule during the next seven weeks. You will be able to speak with lucid candor about your feelings — maybe more so than you’ve been able to in a long time. And that will serve you well as you take advantage

of the opportunity that life is offering you: to deepen, clarify and refine your intimate relationships.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Author bell hooks (who didn’t capitalize her name) expressed advice I recommend for you. She said, “Knowing how to be solitary is central to the art of loving. When we can be alone, we can be with others without using them as a means of escape.” As you enter a phase of potential renewal for your close relationships, you’ll be wise to deepen your commitment to self-sufficiency and self-care. You might be amazed at how profoundly that enriches intimacy. Here are two more helpful gems from bell hooks: “You can never love anybody if you are unable to love yourself” and “Do not expect to receive the love from someone else you do not give yourself.”

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): In April

2005, a 64-year-old Korean woman named Cha Sa-soon made her first attempt to get her driver’s license. She failed. In fairness to her, the written test wasn’t easy. It required an understanding of car maintenance. After that initial flop, she returned to take the test five days a week for three years — and was always unsuccessful. She persevered, however. Five years later, she passed the test and received her license. It was her 960th try. Let’s make her your role model for the foreseeable future.

I doubt you’ll have to persist as long as she did, but you’ll be wise to cultivate maximum doggedness and diligence.

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): In the eighth century, Chinese poet Du Fu gave a batch of freshly written poems to his friend and colleague, the poet Li Bai. “Thank you for letting me read your new poems,” Li Bai later wrote to Du Fu. “It was like being alive twice.” I foresee you enjoying a comparable grace period in the coming weeks, Pisces: a time when your joie de vivre could be double its usual intensity.

How should you respond to this gift from the Fates? Get twice as much work done? Start work on a future masterpiece? Become a beacon of inspiration to everyone you encounter?

Sure, if that’s what you want to do. And you could also simply enjoy every detail of your daily rhythm with supreme, sublime delight.

Irreverent counsel on life’s conundrums

Dear Reverend,

I have a friend who is in her mid-twenties, and her boyfriend is almost 40. They’ve been together for a while, but they’ve both cheated on each other. She has decided that the best way to fix their relationship is to have a baby.

I’ve told her numerous times that she should wait until they’re in a good place. Obviously, she didn’t listen, because she recently told me that she’s pregnant. I’m worried about her, but I don’t know what to do.

Fretful Friend (FEMALE, 32)

MY TRUE SOULMATE I spy you in Montpelier making sweets, enjoying live music and days at the lake in New Hampshire. You truly make me feel like I’m living in a dream that I don’t want to wake up from. I hope we have many, many more years of making memories together. —Your beau. When: Thursday, June 2, 2022. Where: your place and mine. You: Woman.

You opened the door for me, and we walked to our cars together, chatting. You wore a loose sweater and had gotten a paper bag from inside and were cleaning out the empty cans from your car. I pumped gas, tonguetied, and left. But I wanted to ask you out. When: Friday, May 27, 2022.

Where: Shell gas station, Winooski.

You: Woman. Me: Man. #915561 OLDER READER ON COLLEGE STREET We briefly locked eyes the other day as I was heading down the street. You were on your porch reading, and I hesitated to pull my mask down to tell you how handsome you were. I’d love to get another opportunity to do so if you’re interested. When: Wednesday, May 25, 2022. Where: College Street, near the YMCA. You: Man. Me: Man. #915560 ORANGE/BLACK SCION TC Around 3 p.m. You pumped gas in an orange/black Scion tC. You were wearing a reddish dress with a slit down the side showing your leg and side tattoos. You looked absolutely beautiful. I was in a dark SUV at the doors, dark blue shirt on with sunglasses. Single? Maybe we can chat? When: Saturday, May 21, 2022.

Where: Jolly in Underhill/Jericho.

You: Woman. Me: Man. #915559

Dear Fretful Friend,

I’m pretty sure you would have mentioned it if the boyfriend was physically abusive or if you felt that your friend was in danger of having more than her heart broken.

I’m assuming the worst thing that’s happening is infidelity. There is the age difference, but to each their own, and they’re both adults.

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: You don’t cheat on someone you truly love.

Trust me. I messed around on pretty much everyone I was with until I met my late husband. In your friend’s case, both partners did the deed. Adding the stress of

Called Charlie-O’s, and the bartender suggested I post here. I hope your dog is well and the caddy had a smooth “first time out in six months” run. Would not mind getting to know you better at all.

I agreed with your sentiment. Wanna hit another show sometime this summer? When: Saturday, April 30, 2022. Where: Foam Brewers.

You: Woman. Me: Man. #915549

pregnancy, childbirth and caring for a newborn is definitely not going to do them any favors.

But the toothpaste is out of the tube, and you can’t shove it back in at this point. Your pal wanted to get pregnant, and she did.

Hopefully the guy is onboard and won’t leave her high and dry.

If you care about your friend, all you can really do is be there to support her emotionally and, quite likely, be a shoulder to cry on when the relationship crashes and burns. Or maybe they’ll wind up happy as can be — stranger things have happened.

At the very least, I hope they find a way to co-parent the child amicably. Whatever happens, don’t promise to babysit.

Good luck and God bless,

The Reverend What’s your problem?

We ran our employment campaign with Seven Days Jobs because it has the widest reach in the state and is the premier source for news and entertainment. We worked with our employees and agency partners to test various creative strategies.

The reach of Seven Days led to serious candidates who were actually interested in the position and our company. That was not the case with other recruitment tools we used.

We ended up interviewing six candidates and hired two as a result. We would absolutely recommend working with Michelle Brown at Seven Days — she’s fantastic and very easy to work with.
