With that, both sides went on their way.

“We fully support the actions of these two officers: being inquisitive during their shift, and completing a thorough investigation while both treating this man with respect and availing him of referrals to the resources he may need,” Wright wrote.

The moral of the story? “Don’t believe everything you see on the internet,” Burlington Police Detective Sgt. James Trieb told Seven Days. “We get complaints all the time, and that’s why it’s important to be thorough and get all the information before we strike judgment.”

A

24-second video making the rounds online last week appeared to depict a shocking scene.

Two Burlington police officers appeared to stand idly by on a downtown street corner while a man injected something into his arm.

The video, uploaded by a YouTube user who goes by Zack Rose, was titled, “Two Burlington Vermont cops watching a junkie tie off and shoot up heroine [sic]!”

“The guy’s shooting up right in front of two cops, and they’re just letting him,” a man says in the video, shot at Church and Pearl streets.

“I didn’t even know that was legal.”

By Tuesday afternoon, the clip had about 21,800 views — 10,000 more than it did when it started circulating last week. Social media users chattered about it online.

In fact, it got so much attention that acting Burlington Police Chief Jan Wright was forced to issue a statement — one that debunked the whole thing. According to Wright, the year-old video didn’t capture anywhere near the full story.

The two officers, according to a police incident report, stopped to chat with the man after seeing him inject “an unknown substance into his right arm.” The man told police he was a “water diabetic” and was treating himself, according to the report. The cops advised the man to inject in a more private

Abby Gaughan. “This is something to make it a bit more pedestrian-friendly. I think if it became more permanent, that would be a good thing.”

It’s supposed to be in place until October.

Burlington’s pop-up planters are slowing traffic at certain spots downtown, such as at Main and South Champlain streets, and along a bike route known as the Old North End Greenway, which heads from Battery Park toward the University of Vermont campus.

And the city has extended the curbs on some intersections into roadways, using bollards. They’re temporary fixtures, according to Nicole Losch, senior transportation planner for the Department of Public Works — intended to last a few years, or until the city replaces them with permanent curbs and green areas.

The method is common nationally, “but it’s super new in Burlington,” she said.

New devices in Burlington will more accurately measure the amount of sewage versus stormwater that overflows into Lake Champlain. Should be poop-u-lar with swimmers.

That’s how many ash trees the city of Rutland plans to cut down to prevent damage from the emerald ash borer, which was first discovered in the state earlier this year.

The invasive beetle hasn’t yet reached Rutland County, but it’s been found in four other Vermont counties.

n order to slow drivers on busy streets — and make cyclists and pedestrians feel safer — officials in Burlington and Winooski are taking back the pavement. In the Queen City, they’ve used planters brimming with snapdragons and petunias to reclaim bits of roads where vehicles once rolled. In Winooski, planners set up a “parklet” this month in two parking spaces along busy Main Street.

The Onion City’s mini park, funded by a $3,000 “placemaking” grant from AARP Vermont, looks like an outdoor living room, complete with a table and chairs. It’s set off from vehicles with Jersey barriers and decorated with flowers. The space has hosted a few events, and the city is encouraging more.

Nobody was there as cars whooshed by early Tuesday.

“I don’t like it,” said Trang Tran, owner of Heavenly Nails Spa at 325 Main Street, just across the street. “It takes a lot of room in the road.”

“I think it’s a good idea,” countered spa customer

The Vermont Supreme Court ruled that a Charlotte shooting range does not need to undergo an Act 250 review.

FEEDback READER REACTION TO RECENT ARTICLES

GENDER IDENTITY IS NOT THE ISSUE

[Re Off Message: “Christine Hallquist, First Transgender Nominee for Governor, to Face Phil Scott,” August 14]: I wish every article regarding the candidate Christine Hallquist did not have to focus on her being transgender. That is not the issue. We need to know better about her qualifications, experience and positions for her potential leadership. Whether she is straight, gay, transgender or some other animal makes no difference. Just treat her like any other person. You do not introduce Phil Scott as a straight candidate.

SYSTEM FAILURE

[Re “What Election?” August 8]: The Taylor Dobbs story about the lack of energy in this month’s primary campaign included comments from me about U.S. Rep. Peter Welch (D-Vt.) and his fundraising practices. While I was disappointed in Welch’s response to my comments (that I didn’t know anything about his practices), the larger point I was trying to make is that most members of Congress, including Welch, spend much of their time calling rich people for money to fund their campaigns. This distracts them from their work and threatens to influence their decision making. I have been a strong supporter of Welch for 20 years. But he and other good people need to do more to change the culture of Congress and make it work, rather than be defensive about the system they are caught up in.

ONE FOR WILDLIFE

I applaud Protect Our Wildlife, Lush cosmetics and Skip Lisle of Beaver Deceivers for humanely eliminating beaver-versuspeople conflicts [“Beavers, Bees and Bad Policies,” August 15].

My wife and I recently moved to Vermont to enjoy the close interaction with nature that our state offers. I have been saddened to learn since our arrival that some view much of Vermont’s fauna as vermin and kill them merely for recreation. I am not alluding to ethical hunters who take game for sustenance. Rather, I refer to the barbaric practices of trapping and hounding. I can’t fathom how

TIM NEWCOMB

Once again, kudos to those cited in your article, but until FWD adopts 21stcentury values, we will need to act on our own. With apologies to the ethical hunters I refer to above, we are posting our land, and I urge all others who truly love nature to do the same.

[Re “Last Trash Can Standing: Should Vermont’s Huge Landfill Get Bigger?”

August 8]: The situation at the Coventry landfill should prompt considerations of ethics, civic responsibility and oldfashioned neighborliness. Almost the whole state sends its trash there, after regional landfills were rejected.

All Vermonters have a moral obligation to view the Coventry landfill as our own responsibility.

My trash, which travels from Randolph, is unsightly, unhealthy, even toxic. That it is accepted by a distant small community without many municipal resources, a community that

BOW WOW!

Redwood Hill Farm Vanilla Goat Milk Yogurt 32oz $2.49

ensnaring or crushing wild creatures in traps, leaving them to languish for days, or setting hounds loose to chase bears to exhaustion can be viewed as anything other than cruelty to animals. Nor do I see what enjoyment one could derive from such endeavors.

Incredibly, I’ve come to learn, the Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department not only condones such activities, it actively supports them! Also, crows and coyotes are killed in great numbers, then tossed on piles to rot. One of the tenets of FWD’s mission is to prevent wanton waste of wildlife, yet it defends those who engage in such wasteful practices. FWD discourages non-hunter/trappers from taking seats on its advisory board.

may overlook the hazards of the landfill because it cannot afford to do otherwise, does not excuse my ignorance about its fate. Vermonters’ continued dependence on the imperfect model of out-of-sight, out-of-mind trash removal, especially when the public relies on a profit-motivated private company to ensure its health and safety, is suspect.

Casella Waste Systems makes a profit on the waste that it takes in at the landfill, particularly on out-of-state materials, which were 30 percent of last year’s total waste, including contaminated soil and wastewater treatment sludge. An expansion of the landfill would invite more such materials; on the other hand, if outof-state materials were disallowed, more landfill space would be available. The landfill should be for Vermonters alone, a resource that is our responsibility to keep watch over.

If Casella gets all the space it desires, it will have no incentive to diminish the waste stream. Coventry shouldn’t become the waste warehouse for Vermont or New England. Instead, Vermonters must unify around environmentally sound goals, such as effective recycling and composting programs, as well as revisit responsible regional waste disposal.

HRISTINE HALLQUIST’s victory in Vermont’s Democratic gubernatorial primary on August 14 made her the first openly transgender person to win a major party nomination for governor. It also won her a special place in the hearts of the transgender community everywhere.

“We’ve gotten an unbelievable volume of letters, emails and messages,” Hallquist’s campaign manager, CAMERON RUSSELL, said Monday. “People who saw Christine win have a different outlook on their lives. That’s pretty heavy.” He added that the campaign has fielded requests from other countries where LGBTQ people face much more severe discrimination. “They ask, ‘Will you do an interview?’ ‘Will you help us fight bigotry?’”

This shouldn’t come as a surprise.

For such a beaten-down group, a high-profile success story can provide a genuine sense of hope.

Take, for example, SUSAN ELIOT of Boston, whose 15-year-old child is transgender. Her daughter had received “hateful voicemails” that affected her deeply.

“But then this morning,” Eliot wrote to Hallquist the day after the election, “as I drove her to her summer job, we were able to talk about how amazing it is that you earned the Democratic nomination in Vermont. Your courage and visibility matter. It made a difference to my child.”

A black trans woman who lives near Washington, D.C., wrote that as she faces her own struggles, she sees Hallquist as “such an inspiration” and “a breath ADULT DAY PASS $10 includes a Vt. beer or 9 oz. glass of wine of fresh air.” She closed her email by urging Hallquist to “Tear it up, sister.” ~ 2 Swimming Pools (Hallquist’s campaign provided the ~ Club House Café & Bar letter but, at the writer’s request, asked ~ Ages 14+ only that she not be identified.)

OPEN SEASON ON VERMONT POLITICS BY JOHN WALTERS

Not all the communications have been positive. “We have had threats,” Russell said. “We have to be vigilant.” The campaign has consulted with local law enforcement and the Federal Bureau of Investigation and referred one specific threat to the feds. Russell has committed it to memory: “If you win, me and my boys are going to come and do a JFK on you.”

Charming.

YOUR COURAGE AND VISIBILITY

… MADE A DIFFERENCE TO MY CHILD. S U S AN E L I OT

As Hallquist’s team does its best to handle the historic dimension of her candidacy and the importance it has assumed in the minds of so many, it also doesn’t want to lose sight of its goal. “The best way to honor that importance is to be the best possible candidate and actually become governor,” Russell said.

Republican Gov. PHIL SCOTT’s campaign manager said his team intends to keep the poison out of his reelection effort. “The governor said he’s always run positive, issue-oriented campaigns and will continue to do so,” BRITTNEY WILSON said. “We’ve seen derogatory comments. They’re disappointing and unacceptable.”

Hallquist has frequently spoken of her intent to run a civil campaign. She and the governor know and respect each other. The hate is unlikely to find fertile soil in Vermont.

Shootin’ Blanks

Vermont’s vociferous gun-rights advocates promised electoral retribution for the lawmakers who passed, and the governor who signed, a series of gun restrictions this spring. The August 14 primary was the first test of their political muscle.

Would they be able to defeat politicians who’d dared to oppose them?

Eh, not so much.

“I think they had some effect,” said JACK MOULTON, executive director of the Vermont Republican Party. “Not as much as they were hoping to have.” Moulton, of course, has a real interest in keeping a light on for gun-rights owners.

Supporters of gun restrictions, on the other hand, are feeling their oats.

“As far as I can tell, there is zero evidence of any effect,” said Sen. PHIL BARUTH (D/P-Chittenden), one of the leaders in the Senate push for gun restrictions.

“These people were successful for years at threatening to vote people out, but they were never tested. They’ve been bluffing on a busted flush.”

Baruth isn’t exactly an unbiased observer. He is the officeholder that the gun-rights crowd would most like to defeat. ”We’d love to beat Phil Baruth,” said ED CUTLER, president of Gun Owners of Vermont, a prominent pro-gun organization. “He’s been a thorn in our side.”

The group counseled its supporters to vote strategically in the Chittenden County Democratic Senate primary — casting votes only for the three nonincumbents, FINNIAN BOARDMAN ABBEY, VAL CARZELLO and STEVE MAY. Not because they believed the challengers were pro-gun; the goal was simply to defeat incumbents who’d voted in favor of gun restrictions.

In the end, all six incumbents sailed to victory — although Cutler, reaching for signs of the group’s influence, noted hopefully that Baruth finished in fifth place.

Elsewhere in the state, Cutler claimed “a few” victories in House primaries, although he couldn’t recall any specifics.

One primary winner may have ridden gun issues to victory. ED LARSON, executive director of the Vermont Traditions Coalition, a leading advocacy group for gun rights, came in third in a fiveman race for three nominations in the Rutland County Republican Senate primary. Larson finished a mere five votes ahead of TERRY WILLIAMS, who may seek a recount. All five candidates support gun rights, but Larson’s visibility may have made a crucial difference.

Another notable sign of gun voters’ influence was the Republican gubernatorial primary result. Gun-rights candidate KEITH STERN took 31.6 percent of the vote, a respectable showing against Scott, a well-known incumbent. But Stern’s 11,669 votes constituted only 9 percent of total primary votes cast: Republican, Democratic and Progressive. Even if you credit every one of Stern’s votes to gun-rights advocacy, 9 percent of a small primary electorate isn’t exactly evidence of a mass movement.

test. If the gun-rights community can’t take down some high-profile officeholders who dared touch the third rail — Zuckerman or Baruth or MacDonald, for instance — its political influence may never recover.

A familiar name is gone from the Burlington Free Press’ masthead. CLOVER WHITHAM had been an editor at the paper since 2007. Most recently she sported one of those new-agey job titles so en vogue at Gannett newspapers — “passion topics content coach.” Her departure was purely voluntary, unlike so many others who fell victim to cost-cutting.

“I had a chance to try something new,” Whitham said, after 10 years at what she described as her “dream job” — working for what was once the largest newspaper in her home state. She’ll be working as a freelance writer and editor.

“I have a lot of projects I want to do,” she said, and now she’ll have more flexibility to tackle them.

Her former boss, executive editor MICHAEL KILIAN, praised Whitham’s “creativity and leadership” as “integral to serving Burlington Free Press readers … over the past decade.”

The Free Press is recruiting a new passion topics content coach. Reading the job description is, frankly, a bit depressing. The coach, it says, “Pays close attention to metrics, particularly story page views and mobile video views.” So reporting efforts are driven by popularity, not importance?

The content coach is also expected to take part in community events “for networking, branding and promotional purposes” and coordinate “with our marketing, advertising and customer service departments on joint initiatives.”

Ewww. I realize that newspapers are fighting for survival, but isn’t there a tradition of separation between news and marketing?

Meanwhile, on the weekly newspaper front, the Stowe Reporter Group has extended its reach in Chittenden County with the purchase of the Other Paper in South Burlington. In May 2017, the group acquired the Shelburne News and the Citizen, which covers Charlotte and Hinesburg. JUDY KEARNS, who has owned the Other Paper for roughly a decade, will take a staff position with its new owner.

election — its backing of gun-rightssupporting write-in candidate Sen. JOHN RODGERS (D-Essex/Orleans) in the Democratic primary — was a complete bust. Rodgers finished with a little more than 1,000 out of 70,000 Democratic votes cast. That was well behind Scott himself, who received 2.5 times as many Democratic write-in votes as Rodgers.

Still, Cutler is far from ready to give up. With Hallquist and Scott, two supporters of this year’s gun laws, facing off for governor, Cutler said his group will concentrate on the race for lieutenant governor and promoting gun-friendly legislative candidates. He cites House Minority Leader DON TURNER (R-Milton), the Republican challenger to Progressive/Democrat Lt. Gov. DAVID ZUCKERMAN, as a valued ally of long standing.

Otherwise, said Cutler, “We’ll concentrate mostly on the Senate.” He noted that the most controversial of this year’s gun bills, S.55, passed on a 17-13 vote. Electing a couple of pro-gun senators could change the balance of power. “That’s where we’ll put about 70 percent of our efforts,” said Cutler.

Which seats will be targeted? Gun Owners of Vermont will back the two Republican Senate hopefuls from Chittenden County, ALEX FARRELL and DANA MAXFIELD; it’s also likely to endorse former state representative PAUL DAME, who qualified for a Republican nomination through write-in votes.

The group also sees opportunity in Washington County, where three progun Republicans will vie for three seats now in the Democratic caucus, and in Orange County, where Republican BILL HUFF faces incumbent Sen. MARK MACDONALD (D-Orange).

That wish list seems unlikely to become reality. Republicans have targeted MacDonald without success in recent election cycles. In 2016, a much better year for Republicans than 2018 looks to be, MacDonald won reelection by 12 percentage points. Washington County has become a liberal stronghold. Same with Chittenden: The only Republican to win a Senate campaign in recent years was the moderate DIANE SNELLING. Baruth is unworried. He noted that a preprimary Facebook message from Gun Owners of Vermont vice president BOB DEPINO closed with “Third rail, baby!” The gun issue did appear to be the untouchable “third rail” of Vermont politics — until now. But after the primary, the third rail seems to be carrying no juice.

It’ll Take Four Years to Replace the Drawbridge in North Hero — Twice B Y TAYLO R D O B B S

t sounds like the height of absurdity: The Vermont Agency of Transportation started work in July on a four-year project to build two new drawbridges across the channel between Grand Isle and North Hero.

But planners say constructing a pair of spans — the first one a temporary structure — is the only way to keep cars and boats moving during a bridgereplacement project on Route 2. This complication, and the expense of the drawbridge mechanisms, will make the $59 million project one of the most expensive in VTrans’ history. The state is paying 15 percent of the cost, with federal funds covering the rest.

The road is a crucial link for people headed south toward the Vermont mainland. Roughly 3,000 to 4,000 vehicles cross the North Hero-Grand Isle bridge every day. Without it, the best route from North Hero to Burlington would be to drive north to Swanton, then double back south. A 35-minute trip would turn into an hourlong journey.

“The detour is significant,” said Greg Wilcox, VTrans’ resident engineer on the project. “It’s definitely on everyone’s mind.”

The drawbridge, the only one in Vermont for vehicles, makes it possible for sailboats and large motor vessels to pass through the channel between Grand Isle and North Hero.

Boat traffic may seem like a less pressing issue — so what if a sailboat can’t pass through for a leisurely day on the lake? But the U.S. Coast Guard, which permits and regulates the bridge, requires the state to be prepared to open and close it on a regular schedule and during emergencies between May 15 and October 15. Otherwise, the state could face fines of as much as $20,000 for each missed hourly opening.

VTrans project manager Todd Sumner said Coast Guard officials have been reasonable in the past. When the bridge malfunctioned and stopped working briefly last September, Sumner said, the state repaired it quickly and wasn’t fined.

“We’re just hoping that the [old] bridge keeps opening for the rest of this year,” he said.

Project planners did not want to alter the footprint of the bridge, Wilcox said, because it would create permitting difficulties.

North Hero-Grand Isle drawbridge in action

They considered splitting the existing the open position, so that boats can pass drawbridge in half lengthwise and re- freely through the channel.

After that, workers will build the new placing one lane while keeping the other functional to accommodate boats and permanent bridge. Once it is ready for cars. Sumner said that plan would have traffic, the precisely engineered and merequired single-lane traffic during the thodically built temporary bridge will be entire project.

Interstate 91 over Route 30 and the West River in Brattleboro. At 1,000 feet, that bridge is nearly four times the length of the Grand Isle-North Hero project.

Local business owners said their worries about disruptions caused by the Grand Isle project have eased.

When construction began on July 9, workers closed one lane of Route 2 for five weeks while they built foundations on the shore for the temporary bridge.

“The prevailing thought and the hype was that … people were regularly going to have to go all the way around to the north … to get to Burlington,” said Bob Camp, who owns Hero’s Welcome, a store in North Hero. “That was very concerning, but it just turned out to be not the case.”

Camp commutes over the bridge daily and has crossed it 50 to 60 times since the work began. “Maybe once it’s been 10 or 15 minutes [waiting to cross], but that’s the boats coming through at the top of the hour,” he said. “And that’s not so far off what normally happens.”

that has the bridge contract, will be working overtime to meet the May 15 deadline. The company has a special unit dedicated to movable bridges, and about two dozen workers were on the job site when a reporter visited last week. They were working so fast, Wilcox said, that the shop fabricating parts for the temporary bridge was struggling to keep up. “[Cianbro] gave us a schedule that was six to seven days a week, 10-, 12hour days,” Wilcox said last week as he sat in his air-conditioned, woodpaneled office in a double-wide trailer near the construction site.

For the next four years, he’ll spend much of his time in the sparsely furnished office, he said, pointing out the photos of his family taped around the window near his desk. He’s not bummed out about it, though. This job site is luxurious, he joked: On simpler projects, the office trailers aren’t double-wide.

Despite the costly implications of a mistake or delay, Wilcox is confident about the project. “We’re not surgeons, so we don’t need to make splitsecond decisions,” he said. “Nothing is changed on the fly.” m

Emily Clark co-owns Ladd’s Landing Marina on Grand Isle, next to the southern end of the bridge. She said the state has been receptive to most of the issues she’s raised during construction, though she was frustrated with the project’s timing. To her annoyance, the lane closure perfectly overlapped with summer.

“We would’ve much preferred them to do that part of the work after the peak of the season,” she said.

Last week, VTrans took down the temporary traffic lights that had stopped vehicles during the weeks of single-lane work. Clark said things have since smoothed out, and the disruption “ended up not being as troubling as people feared.”

Overall, Camp said, the job hasn’t hurt business.

“We’ve just gone through the busiest time of the year,” he said. “We’re now on the back side, so we’ve seen as bad as it can be. And it’s not bad.”

Wilcox said he understood why local shop owners were concerned, but Coast Guard requirements drove the scheduling. In order to keep the boating channel open until October 15 and then have the temporary bridge ready to go by May 15, construction had to be timed just so.

hen yet another retailer abandoned the Price Chopper plaza in Manchester last year, Michael and Carolina Ellenbogen saw opportunity in the empty storefront.

The two artists had long wanted to open a gallery, but rents in the southern Vermont town — long a retail destination for well-heeled tourists — had been too expensive for an enterprise as risky as abstract art.

But the plaza’s landlord, faced with a number of vacancies, offered an affordable rent and a month-tomonth lease. Last November, the Ellenbogens turned the 7,000-square-foot former Eastern Mountain Sports store into stART Space, a gallery displaying the work of 17 area artists.

Their venture is emblematic of the way Manchester’s entrepreneurs and policy makers are trying to rebuild a town economy once dependent upon outlet stores but hurt in the last 10 years by the rise of internet shopping.

The town has rewritten its zoning laws, put a fresh emphasis on opening locally owned businesses, encouraged downtown housing, and diversified its tourist attractions to include music and film festivals.

“We’re getting ready for a fresh coat of paint, metaphorically speaking,” Michael Ellenbogen said. “New businesses are moving in.”

While Manchester was unique in Vermont in its reliance on tourist-driven shopping, it is not the only community trying to adjust to declining retail sales.

The Rutland Herald reported last month that the local Diamond Run Mall hadn’t made its required payments to Rutland since February 2017. So much space was available in South Burlington’s University Mall that the city moved its library into temporary quarters there. In July, the Berlin Mall offered 3,000 square feet of free space for temporary use by local startups, freelancers and artists.

Burlington allowed a developer to tear down most of the Burlington Town Center mall on Church Street this year in order to replace it with a mixed-use development.

“Retail in general is extremely challenging,” said Joan Goldstein, commissioner of the Vermont Department of Economic Development. The future of web-based shopping is difficult for brick-and-mortar storeowners to predict, she said. And once retail stores are no longer profitable, the subsequent “adaptation and the adjustment is much more difficult,” she added.

Nowhere has that adjustment been more challenging than in Manchester, a town of 4,400 that has drawn visitors for nearly two centuries for the mountain air, trout fishing in the fabled Mettawee River and, since the mid-20th century, skiing at nearby Bromley and Stratton mountains.

In the early 1980s, Lana and Ben Hauben, a New York City couple who summered in nearby Arlington, saw potential in Manchester. As Lana recalled in an interview on the Manchester Business Association website, her husband looked up Main Street one day and asked her, “Is this 57th Street and 5th Avenue, or am I dreaming?”

The two built their first store in 1984, for the upscale clothing company Ralph Lauren. Over the next 30 years, the Haubens grew Manchester Designer Outlets into

stART Space

an empire of more than 40 stores. Other developers followed. Clothing brands including Gap, Eddie Bauer, J.Crew, Brooks Brothers and Loft clustered in new buildings near the town’s main intersection.

Out-of-staters flocked to the retailers. Manchester was written up in the New York Times and Boston Globe as a vacation destination for mountain biking, skiing — and shopping. Traffic jammed the town’s main intersection so often that it become known as Malfunction Junction.

The community thrived.

But after the 2008 recession hit, stores in Manchester began to close. National retailers including Famous Footwear, BCBGMAXAZRIA, Gucci and Coach joined the exodus.

The retail vacancy rate, which had hovered around 5 percent during the town’s boom years, peaked in 2016 at 20 percent, with 53 stores vacant, according to real estate agent Paul Carroccio, president of the Manchester Business Association. Even when buildings were occupied, turnover was high, he said.

That year, the Manchester and the Mountains Regional Chamber of Commerce went bankrupt. The town attracted a new kind of media coverage. “Pictureperfect Manchester, Vt., isn’t so perfect anymore” read the headline of a 2017 Boston Globe article.

A number of famous brands — including Ralph Lauren — still operate stores in Manchester. Manchester Designer Outlets still touts its 40 stores. But the turnover continues. Next to the Ellenbogens’ art gallery, the former Yankee One Dollar Store space remains empty.

New housing is being developed in the downtown. Mark Lenza, a landlord who rents space to several businesses, is adding an apartment to a second floor of a retail building, and said he’s considering doing the same in a second building. Hauben and Manchester Designer Outlets are creating four new apartments in two existing buildings. Zoning adopted in June encourages even more housing by allowing higher density and taller buildings. The changes minimize red tape for landlords who want to convert retail space to housing.

Storefronts that once rented for $25 or $30 a square foot are down to $15 to $20 per square foot, according to Carroccio.

That has allowed retailers — including Proft and the Ellenbogens — to set up shop. And when landlords Bill Drunsic and his son Steve redeveloped a centuryold Factory Point National Bank building along Main Street, locals had the means to set up two new restaurants on the first floor. The Drunsics built four luxury condo units above the eateries.

The changes are “hardly a tidal wave,” said Andrew McKeever, news director at Greater Northshire Access Television and former editor of the weekly Manchester Journal, noting that Manchester may never return to its former vibrancy. But, he added, “It’s certainly a trend.”

It’s a trend that Manchester business owners are hoping to capitalize on — and market to the outside world.

On a sunny Wednesday in late July, couples shopped at the Manchester Country Store and sipped iced coffees in the shade of the Spiral Press Café.

Two girls in the area for a horse show in nearby East Dorset walked down a sidewalk holding shopping bags and Starbucks drinks.

Newspaper-plastered windows made some vacant stores easy to spot. But only about 15 stores are empty, according to Carroccio — fewer than a third of the number from just a couple of years ago.

Manchester’s meals, rooms and alcohol tax revenues have risen 38 percent over the last six years, to $454,000, O’Keefe said. That’s a result of growing business at the cafés and restaurants, hotels, and bars. Taxable retail sales have improved, climbing to $98 million last year, though still well short of the 2008 peak.

O’Keefe uses “experiential” to describe Manchester’s future. He pointed to the appeal of sampling cheese and sausage at Fortuna’s Sausage downtown or picking a fresh baguette at Nature’s Market. “A lot of what we sell here is experience,” he said. “Amazon can’t do that.” m

end of September, Olympia Sports is leaving the Price Chopper plaza, according to Ellenbogen.

“Manchester isn’t the destination it once was,” said Sarah Foster, executive director of the American Museum of Fly Fishing in town. “Look at all the empty [stores] downtown. You walk through town, and it’s not what it used to be.”

Nevertheless, a decade after the financial crash and despite the rise of online shopping, Manchester retailers and residents insist they have a new, hopeful story to tell.

Town economic development officer Pauline Moore called the story of a struggling Manchester “tired.” Lingerie storeowner Joy Proft said she’d decline to speak with a reporter if the result was going to be a “negative” story. Other business owners who spoke to Seven Days stayed relentlessly on message, insisting that the future of their downtown is bright.

“Are there empty stores? Yes,” Proft conceded. “But, to me, that’s an opportunity to come up with an idea that serves the core of this beautiful shopping destination.”

Town officials and local business owners say they are reinventing their downtown, with a focus on new housing and finding alternative uses for empty storefronts.

The town is diversifying. The first Green Mountain Bluegrass & Roots Festival concluded a four-day run on Sunday. And the Independent Television Festival will come to town this fall.

To attract youth sports tournaments, Manchester rebuilt its recreation park’s athletic fields. The town hopes parents will shop and eat out while their children play soccer and lacrosse, town manager John O’Keefe said.

Manchester has one advantage many struggling towns lack: a large cadre of affluent year-round residents and secondhome owners willing to contribute cash to help the community. Private fundraising made possible the new athletic fields, a rebuilt bandstand on the town green and a $6.2 million state-of-the-art library. This year, an additional $125,000 in private dollars will go toward a new skate park.

The business community has also been at work. Carroccio and others started the Manchester Business Association to replace the defunct chamber of commerce. Town voters in March approved giving the association $50,000 to sell Manchester as a destination. The business association also turned a vacant storefront into a part-time visitors center.

etective Sgt. James Roy of the Colchester Police Department held up a black flip-flop sandal so his audience could see it.

Then, like a magician performing a trick, he took a small Allen wrench-like tool, stuck it into the sandal’s side and turned. With a small paper cup in his other hand, Roy tipped the footwear and poured out clear liquid — in this case, water.

The heel of the Reef brand shoe doubles as a flask.

“You could have a student standing on eight ounces of alcohol, and you’d never know the difference,” Roy told the five school administrators seated before him, some of whom shook their heads in disbelief as if he’d just sawed a volunteer in half. “Those cost me $23 on Amazon.”

Since 1989, Roy has studied intoxicants and how they affect the human body. The stout 57-year-old cop with a walrus mustache and close-cropped white hair is one of about 50 law enforcement drug-recognition experts in Vermont. Police summon DREs when they suspect a driver is under the influence of something other than alcohol.

On this day in early August, though, Roy was sharing his knowledge with Colchester educators — something he’s done with approximately 3,000 teachers, administrators and nurses across Vermont — in anticipation of the new school year. He had transformed a space at the Colchester Police Department into a classroom in which the “pupils” were high school principal Heather Baron; assistant principals Erica LeClair and Chad DeMagistris; director of student support services Jean Shea; and Julie Tanguay, director of student support services at the middle school.

A major emphasis of the two-day training, Roy told his neophytes, was learning how to assess a young person for signs of drug use — in school or out.

“It’s difficult,” the veteran cop admitted. “It’s like watching your own child grow ... We see them every day, and

we’re not picking up on those subtle changes. But with some clear focus and with some attention paid to that, you can.” Educators should be careful not to miss an opportunity to intervene, he said.

The attendees took notes as Roy delivered a mix of science and health information interspersed with history lessons and war stories from life on the beat. He reminded the group that one of the Colchester Police Department’s own — former officer Tyler Kinney — stole heroin from the police evidence room and used it for months. None of his colleagues noticed.

Easier to detect? Roy showed a mug shot of a drunk and disheveled Nick Nolte in a colorful Hawaiian shirt that went viral when the actor was busted for DUI in 2002. Another projected image showed a guy smiling, with silver paint all over his face, after being arrested for huffing spray paint for the 48th time.

Throughout the day, Roy described different drugs, their effects on the body and mind, and recognizable signs

that someone is intoxicated. A person with pinpoint-sized pupils might be on heroin, he said, while an elevated pulse rate could indicate cocaine use.

“How many of you pay attention to pupil size — anybody?” Roy asked.

No one raised a hand.

“That’s like the No. 1 fact finder,” Roy said. Referencing the old adage about eyes being the “windows to the soul,” he said, “I have no clue about that, but it is a direct pathway to the central nervous system.”

He described the different drug categories: central nervous system depressants, such as Ambien and alcohol; stimulants, such as cocaine and Adderall; hallucinogens, such as LSD and magic mushrooms; and dissociative anesthetics, such as ketamine and dextromethorphan, aka DXM, a drug found in cough medicines.

“I’ve seen thousands of folks under the influence of drugs,” Roy said. “I have never seen anybody more messed up, more profoundly impaired, than an 18-year-old girl from Winooski who had taken DXM.”

One administrator chimed in, “That was a big thing when I was in college.

People would drink Robitussin.”

Roy confirmed that students still “Robotrip,” but they’ve gotten savvier: Some websites provide tutorials on how to extract the psychoactive material, making it more dangerous — and easier — to get high.

“Kids are certainly aware that these websites exist,” Roy said. “We have to pay attention to what’s going on out there. We can’t have our heads buried in the sand.”

And it’s not just obscure websites in dark corners of the internet, he noted. Roy displayed an Axe body spray advertisement that showed an open refrigerator filled with cans of whipped cream. Outside the fridge, a single can of Axe promised “The new, longer lasting Axe effect.”

Such aerosol containers use nitrous oxide to expel their contents, and teens have long huffed the stuff to get stoned.

“Oh, my God, that’s an Axe ad?” one administrator asked, aghast.

Similarly, cannabis businesses in states with legal weed sales appear to market gummy bear edibles and laced chocolates with names like Buddhafinger and 3 Rastateers to young people. Marijuana is now legal in Vermont for adults 21 and older, and Roy suggested it’s only a matter of time before such products show up in the Green Mountain State, though retail remains off-limits for now.

Roy described research that shows cannabis can have detrimental effects on the still-developing brains of teens.

And pot today is much more potent than it was decades ago, he added. He showed images of a commercial grow operation he visited in Colorado, which legalized recreational cannabis in 2012.

“These are incredibly genetically engineered plants, given the best opportunity to grow with folks who have PhDs in growing stuff,” he said. “It’s amazing what they’re producing.”

During a break, principal Baron said legal weed wasn’t the impetus for taking the course. She and her

administrative team all started their jobs in Colchester within the last three years, and they decided that “it would be really smart for us to have the training all at once together.”

“I just think it’s a reality that kids are engaging in drinking and doing drugs,” Baron continued, echoing what high school principals have known since the ’60s. “And the more we can be on top of it with them — the better educated we can be — we can better help them navigate that world.”

If Roy is right, it’s a world filled with dangers and dumb decisions.

He recounted the tale of a young man on an acid trip who jumped naked from a friend’s car and ran into Lake Champlain. Police found him clinging to a boat docked in Malletts Bay. And the story of the male and female students at one Vermont school who would soak tampons in vodka “and insert them into their bodies and get alcohol into their system that way.”

He also cautioned educators that odd behaviors aren’t all drug-related.

For instance, a student with a head injury could have different size pupils.

In 2002, Vermont police chased Rodney Mayo as he drove the wrong way on Interstate 89. He was in diabetic shock and didn’t know what he was doing.

“Take everything into account and interpret everything properly, but don’t focus on just one piece,” Roy said.

Near the end of day one, the administrators and Roy discussed best practices for speaking with students suspected of drug use and how to deal with their reactions.

Knowledge would support the adults’ authority, Roy advised.

“If you are engaged, you know what you’re talking about and you’re able to talk with that person about what’s going on, they’ll more likely than not be honest with you,” Roy said. Presented with evidence, “It’s easier for them to say, ‘Yeeaah, I think you got me.’”

Baron agreed. “We come from a place of care,” she said, as if addressing the students directly. “There will be consequences, but we’re here to help you.” m

Roy nodded. “You all drew from it that that one can would get you as high as maybe all of those cans, in terms of nitrous oxide,” he said of the ad’s not-so-subtle message.

It appeared in a national video game magazine, Roy noted, while the company simultaneously distributed free samples of Axe to schools.

“A lot of this stuff doesn’t happen by accident,” Roy told the class. “There are lots of undercurrents and influence going on that we as adults sometimes don’t pay any attention to.”

Sen. Patrick Leahy

SEVENDAYSVT.COM 08.22.18-08.29.18 SEVEN DAYS

Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) met with U.S. Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh Tuesday afternoon and pressed him on his past work in the White House, Vermont’s senior senator told Seven Days after the meeting.

Kavanaugh spent the early 2000s as a lawyer, and later staff secretary, for president George W. Bush’s administration.

“There was a lot of discussion at the time of detainee and torture policy, as well as a specialized wiretapping policy,” Leahy said. “I wanted to know how much he was involved in it, because all of these things have been discredited since.”

White House lawyer Don McGahn also attended Leahy’s meeting with Kavanaugh and initially refused to allow the senator to meet alone with the judicial nominee.

TAYLOR DOBBS

“[McGahn] said, ‘Well, they don’t do one-onone meetings,” Leahy recounted. “I said, ‘I’ve been here for 19 Supreme Court nominees, 17 since I’ve been on the Judiciary Committee. I always have a one-on-one meeting.’”

Leahy said McGahn eventually acquiesced and left him alone with Kavanaugh. But even after the meeting, the senator said he still doesn’t have enough information to make a decision about whether to support or oppose the nomination.

In July, President Donald Trump tapped Kavanaugh, a federal appeals court judge in Washington, D.C., to fill a Supreme Court vacancy left by retired justice Anthony Kennedy.

For weeks, Leahy has been raising the alarm about the confirmation process.

“We’re dealing with an incomplete record, partly because the Republicans are rushing this through,” Leahy said.

At a Judiciary Committee meeting August 16, Leahy blasted his colleagues, saying that the Senate is failing its duty by refusing to request documents from Kavanaugh’s time as staff secretary in the Bush administration.

Leahy, the senior-most member of the committee, pointed out that Senate Republicans

Sanders Declines Democratic Senatorial Nomination

GREEN MOUNTAIN CORAL 3595 WATERBURY-STOWE ROAD WATERBURY CENTER • (802) 917-4508 5/24/18 12:18 PM

Sen. Bernie Sanders

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) has officially turned down the Democratic nomination for the U.S. Senate, according to the Vermont Secretary of State’s Office.

Sanders, who took home nearly 91 percent of the vote in last week’s Democratic primary, informed the state last Friday that he would decline the nomination, according to elections director Will Senning. Neither the candidate nor the Secretary of State’s Office announced the move at the time, though it hardly comes as a surprise.

A longtime independent, Sanders has sought the Democratic nomination since he first ran for the Senate in 2006, in order to prevent another candidate from taking the ballot line. Each time, he has declined the nomination upon winning it. His staff made

WE

clear from the start of this year’s campaign that this time would be no different.

“Senator Sanders is very proud that almost 91% of Vermont Democrats cast their ballots for him last Tuesday,” campaign manager Shannon Jackson said in a statement Tuesday. “They know he is fighting every day for them and their families.”

The Vermont Democratic Party appeared ready for the move. In a statement issued last Thursday, the day before Sanders turned down the nomination, VDP spokesperson R. Christopher Di Mezzo called the senator “a powerful voice for Democratic values, issues and candidates.” He said the party expected FILE: ERIC TADSEN

previously expressed a willingness to request those records.

During Tuesday’s interview, Leahy said he’s been up-front with his Republican colleagues: “It makes me think they’ve got something to hide.”

Soon after his nomination, Kavanaugh’s record led to questions about whether the nation’s highest court might overturn the Roe v. Wade decision that legalized abortion in America. Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) met with Kavanaugh on Tuesday morning and later told reporters that her concerns about abortion access were eased when Kavanaugh told her that he sees the issue as settled law.

Whatever answers Kavanaugh provides, Leahy has made it clear he won’t be satisfied until he has a chance to review records from the judge’s time working in the White House.

Senate confirmation hearings are scheduled to begin September 4.

“I want to get the rest of the records,” Leahy said. “I want to know why the Republicans are trying to jam this through, not releasing documents and rushing a hearing date.”

Sanders to decline the nomination but would nevertheless “fully and enthusiastically endorse” him at its September state committee meeting.

Other Democrats have been less forgiving. When Sanders sought the party’s presidential nomination in 2016, detractors criticized his long-standing unwillingness to run with a D after his name. Sanders’ supporters noted that he caucuses with Senate Democrats, votes for its majority leader candidates and even serves in its leadership structure.

H. Brooke Paige, a perennial candidate for statewide office, narrowly secured the Republican nomination to challenge Sanders, with 26.5 percent of his party’s vote. But Paige, who won five other nominations last week, has said he may decline one or more of them.

1927-2018, TEGA CAY, SOUTH CAROLINA On Monday, August 13, 2018, Clare Stahl passed away at age 91 in Tega Cay, S.C. She previously resided in Madison, N.J.; Hamburg, N.Y.; and South Burlington, Vt. Clare was born on May 4, 1927, in Orange, N.J., to Arthur and Leonora Holmes.

She received a BA in political science from Wilson College, her great-aunt’s alma mater.

She married Richard Stahl on February 4, 1950, and they raised two daughters.

Clare made friends wherever she went and welcomed everyone into her home without hesitation.

Forever curious, she was an intrepid traveler, voracious reader, librarian, gardener, knitter, silk-screener, “Jeopardy!” aficionado and queen of the fresh blueberry pie. Throughout her life, she was active in her churches and the League of Women Voters.

Clare was preceded in death by her loving husband, Dick; her brother Bill; her parents; and her stepmother, Lillian. She is survived by her beloved sister Marge Brown of Simsbury, Conn.; her loving daughters, Pat Sears (Michael Rosenberg) of Winooski, Vt., and Barb Gueltig (Terry) of Tega Cay, S.C.; her adored grandchildren, Sarah Sears, Taylor Sears, Heather Ledbetter and Kelly Mims; her cherished stepgrandchildren, Tom, Rob, Jon and Mike; and her beloved great-grandchildren, Sam, Raylee and Emery Clare, who made her final years such a delight.

Funeral and burial services will be held by the family at a later date. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation in Clare’s name to your local library or the League of Women Voters.

1946-2018 Antonino “Tony” Di Ruocco was born on February 9, 1946, in Capri, Italy.

Tony’s involvement in the restaurant business began in Capri at Al Piccolo Bar, from 1960 through 1966. He enlisted in the mandatory Italian military service in the Navy and was discharged in 1968 with the rank of petty officer. He moved to Switzerland to travel and for more opportunity. He worked in various bars and restaurants in Switzerland from 1968 through

Capri, Lo Zodiaco, for several summer seasons throughout the years. In 2005, he was diagnosed with metastatic bladder cancer and beat all odds by going into full remission for 13 years. He worked for the Alpha Gamma Rho agricultural fraternity at the University of Vermont for several years following this recovery. He took great pleasure in cooking for the boys and educating them in the ways of the world and to not wear their hats at the table. Together they held several dining fundraisers for cancer and other worthy causes. He also worked for a summer season in 2016 at the Westhaven Retreat in Nelson, New Zealand.

In 2017, Tony was diagnosed again with metastatic bladder cancer, from which he passed away on August 12, 2018, at the Vermont Respite House. He was beloved by all who knew him and is greatly missed.

He is survived by his children, Luciana and Ciro; his ex-wife, Patricia; his mother-in-law Jean Ruth Connolly; his brother and sister in Italy; and many nieces and nephews in Italy.

He is predeceased by his parents, Luigi and Clotilde DiRuocco, and his brother-inlaw Antonio Bianco.

Tony’s zest for life, food, people and travel took him around the world, where he made close friends with everyone he met. A celebration of Tony’s life is being held on Tuesday, August 28, starting at noon at the All Souls Interfaith Chapel in Shelburne. If you plan to attend, please come in bright colors. Tony often wore salmon, yellow, purple and light blue. In lieu of flowers, please send any donations to the Antonino Di Ruocco Memorial Fund at the Northfield Savings Bank in Waterbury. This fund will serve as the base of an organization being established by Tony’s children in his name for the advancement of innovative treatments for metastatic bladder cancer.

1951-2018, MACHIAS, MAINE As anyone who had ever sat in a pew during one of his sermons, read his “Observer” columns in the Charlotte News, swapped songs with him around a campfire or taken a long drive to points unknown with him would tell you, Mark Bolles was a born storyteller. And because his life’s philosophy was to “Say yes and work out the details later,” many of his best stories were his own.

Mark lived a full and fascinating life. He was born to Henry and Doreen Bolles on August 21, 1951, in Providence, R.I., and his early years revolved around the Beneficent Congregational Church. Mark moved his young family to Bangor, Maine, in 1983 to study theology at Bangor Theological Seminary. In 1985, he was assigned to the Machiasport Congregational Church in Machiasport, Maine, as a student pastor, which began his lifelong love for Down East Maine. During this time, he also served the Marshfield Congregational Church in Marshfield, Maine, and earned a bachelor’s degree in education from the University of Maine at Machias.

In 1989, he accepted a call to the Charlotte Congregational Church, where he served for a decade. He immersed himself in the Charlotte community, not only through his ministry, but as a school bus driver for the Charlotte Central School and

as a columnist for the Charlotte News.

Faith and community would provide Mark a road map for life, particularly in his career as a minister. But he relished detours, too. He left the church in 1999 and began a second career as an owner/operator of a tour bus company, Bristol Tours. While he loved his time in Vermont, Mark’s heart never really left Maine. Nor did his soul ever really leave the pulpit. He returned to both in 2015, accepting a call to the Whitneyville Congregational Church in Whitneyville, Maine, and moving to Machias with his wife, Susan.

Regardless of where he was, Mark was a devoted father, grandfather and husband. He was an asset to any community in which he found himself. While he sometimes took an unconventional approach to ministry, he was a brilliant and progressive preacher whose eloquent, clever sermons taught love, understanding and compassion — words he lived by to his dying day through actions large and small, whether comforting parishioners, offering an easy smile to his passengers, picking up hitchhikers or helping to rebuild Southern churches devastated by arson, among countless other examples. His passion for music, driving and Down East Maine were outstripped only by his love for his family and his desire to make the world a better place for those who needed it most.

Mark died surrounded by family at the Down East Community Hospital in Machias, Maine, on Sunday, August 12, following a lengthy illness with lung cancer.

He is survived by his wife, Susan; his four children, Daniel, Tyler, Ariel and stepson Daniel Noel; Tyler’s wife, Kate Lasko, and their children, Arlo and Griffin Bolles; Ariel’s husband, Spencer Ham; his father, Henry; and his three brothers, Gary,

Matt and Jay. He was predeceased by his first wife, Carolyn Wood.

A celebration of life will be held at the Whitneyville Congregational Church on Saturday, September 1, at 2 p.m. All are welcome to attend. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to the Mark W. Bolles Community Fund, which offers aid to those in need throughout the Washington County area. Checks can be made payable to the Whitneyville Congregational Church at 19 South Main Street, Whitneyville, ME 04654.

1975. During this time, he rubbed elbows with various famous artists, such as the Rolling Stones and Deep Purple.

At this time, he met and fell in love with Patricia Ann Smith and found himself in the kitchen as a cook in Switzerland. When Patricia’s father became ill in Canada, she left Switzerland. Tony sold his red Lancia sports car and got a visa to come to Canada. Tony then worked in various restaurants in Canada from 1975 through 1979. Patricia and Tony married in 1976. They decided to build a restaurant with the help of Patricia’s mother, Jean Ruth Connolly, and her husband, Robert Connolly, in Waterbury, Vt. In 1978, their daughter, Luciana, was born. The Villa Tragara restaurant was opened in 1980 and remained open for 22 years.

In 1984, the couple’s son, Ciro, was born.

The Villa Tragara won many awards and became world renowned. The restaurant and some of its recipes were highlighted in various local and national magazines throughout the years. Patricia and Tony were awarded the Insegna Del Risotrante Italiano by the president of Italy in 1999 for being one of the most prestigious Italian culinary establishments outside of Italy. The restaurant was also mentioned in the United States Congressional Record and won the Restaurateur of the Year award from the Vermont Restaurant and Lodging Association in 2000.

Tony taught culinary classes at the Essex Technical School and performed culinary demonstrations at the New England Culinary Institute and for various other food and wine events around Vermont. Tony was one of the founding members of the Vermont Fresh Network in the 1980s. The network brings local farm products to restaurant tables around Vermont.

Following the close of Villa Tragara, Tony worked in his brother Ciro’s restaurant in

even Days writers can’t possibly read, much less review, all the books that arrive in a steady stream by post, email and, in one memorable case, a swarm of boxelder bugs. So this monthly feature is our way of introducing you to a handful of books by Vermont authors. To do that, we contextualize each book just a little and quote a single representative sentence from, yes, page 32.

Inclusion here implies neither approval nor derision on our part, but simply: Here is a bunch of books, arranged alphabetically by authors’ names, that Seven Days readers might like to know about.

Expand Your Bubble Amy Carst, evolution of id, 270 pages. $16.99.

Box

Sue D. Burton, Two Sylvias Press, 86 pages. $16.

My brain in a bramble, heart in a porcupine vest.

Three months later, I was on a plane bound for Uganda with my ten-year-old daughter.

The poems in SUE D. BURTON’s first book are delirious in the best way. Images of the woman in the magician’s box dominate this collection. We see her trick in all its magic and mundanity as, having been seemingly sawn in half, she leaps out — alive, or maybe half dead. As Burton contemplates this absurd vessel, we are brought to contemplate our vessels, too.

And to contemplate what is real about a poem: the person who wrote it, the one who reads it, or only the words?

Burton demonstrates this twisty thinking when she inserts herself into the very first poem in the collection, “The Abortionist Goes to the Grocery Store.” She says, “I am the one who winces at the title,” signaling to her readers that she is here, reading with us. She is very much inside this box of a book, but, then again, she is not. Burton drives the paradox home in “The Woman Who Is Sawn in Half Is in Love With Oliver Sacks”: “Is it better for me to love the Adrienne Rich who built / the poem, or the Adrienne Rich inside the poem?”

These jumps from reality to unreality, paired with her muscular, jockeying language, makes for a delightfully dizzying read.

That journey is key to this combination of memoir, self-help book and anthology from central Vermont writer AMY CARST. Her thesis echoes a common theme of today’s political pundits: Americans need to get outside their social media echo chambers and interact with a true diversity of “flesh and blood human beings.” For Carst, we learn, that meant leaving the statusdriven rat race and “embrac[ing] the black sheep within.” When she visited Uganda’s Malayaka House, an orphanage founded by American Robert Fleming, she found a sense of purpose — a “tribe.”

Putting her philosophy in practice, Carst fills her book with interviews whose subjects range from Arun Gandhi (author of The Gift of Anger) to a Vermont trans woman and her wife to a refugee from Laos to a Jordanian family man to a medium. While many of Carst’s insights are familiar, her faith in the power of listening and understanding is inspiring. And she’s putting her money where her mouth is by donating all proceeds from book sales to Malayaka House.

In this piano instruction book, Barre concert pianist and teacher ALISON CHEROFF aims to appeal to beginners with short exercises on the scale and colorful watercolors. The book doesn’t explain what bananas have to do with learning to play the piano, nor does it define its made-up words such as “Oob,” “Elfsplight” and “Igs,” but it’s all in good fun. And it can’t hurt to have fun when learning a complex instrument.

In addition to the artwork and playful text, Cheroff, who has a website called the Pain-Free Pianist, imparts serious information: how to position the hands to avoid injury. Line drawings sprinkled throughout demonstrate just that.

For more seasoned players who may experience keyboard-related tendonitis, that’s music to the ears.

Take an early scene in which Allen’s cousin Remember Baker defends his homestead from New Yorkers: He “jumped up naked from his bed and fought back with his axe … A swinging cutlass hacked off his thumb.” Then there’s Allen himself, a braggart and “reckless military strategist” who “sparkle[d] as a propagandist,” constantly putting the spin on his own legend.

Wren isn’t the first to demystify Vermont’s favorite war hero; among the sources he cites is Inventing Ethan Allen (2014), by John J. Duffy and H. Nicholas Muller III, which covers much of the same ground. But the New York Times veteran gives his history a freewheeling energy that makes this tale of Vermont’s own indomitable “inglourious basterds” a highly accessible read.

Those Turbulent Sons of Freedom: Ethan Allen’s Green Mountain Boys and the American Revolution

Archival research forms the backbone of this slim volume, which succinctly maps the most notable effects of the midcentury “Red Scare” on Vermont — and vice versa. A self-described “red diaper baby” who grew up in Yonkers, N.Y., RICK WINSTON moved to Adamant, Vt., in 1970. He describes Red Scare as the natural outgrowth of a conference he helped organize in Montpelier in 1998 called Vermont in the McCarthy Era. Though Winston suggests that Vermont was less rocked by the era’s fear and scandals than other parts of America, he is quick to draw parallels between the 2016 and 1948 presidential campaigns of Bernie Sanders and Henry Wallace, respectively. Finding further timely parallels, Winston points out that Donald Trump’s “mentor in public life was Roy Cohn, Joseph McCarthy’s indispensable aide.” He continues, “We have a president who is quick to use the words ‘McCarthyism’ and ‘witch hunt,’ but who himself uses the weapons deployed by the ‘witch-hunters.’”

Overall, Red Scare crafts a useful bridge between the past and present politics of sensationalism, one that might prove particularly rewarding to newshounds and political history buffs with Vermont ties.

ast winter, the Paris Review published a series of commentaries that attempted to answer the question: What is poetry now? Nestled in the four reports is a keen observation from poet Shane McCrae, who writes that political and confessional poems are having a moment. “Their interdependence,” he elaborates, “has opened spaces for voices that have not been well represented, or represented at all, in American poetry before.”

Many of those newly emerging voices belong to one of the most accessible subsets of today’s poets: young female writers who got their start on the internet.

These are the poets who make verse viral, have avid followers, and are often derided as lowbrow or simplistic.

They use Instagram or YouTube to reach their readers and listeners. Think Rupi Kaur, Hollie McNish, Sarah Kay and Olivia Gatwood.

Gatwood, known for her 2016 viral performance of “Ode to My Bitch Face,” will read at Karma Bird House in Burlington on Saturday, August 25, as part of her Alternate Universe Tour. She’ll be joined by poets Joaquina Mertz and Angelica Maria Aguilera.

Gatwood’s words describe the experience of being a young woman in America. In her verse she addresses harassment, sexuality and shame, making a lyrical attempt to transform and understand that emotion, exploring where it comes from and why we shouldn’t feel it.

The 26-year-old writer recently published a book of poems titled New American Best Friend and has

another, yet unnamed, collection coming from Random House. Gatwood’s video performances of “Ode to My Bitch Face” and “Manic Pixie Dream Girl” have more than 3 million collective views.

Seven Days caught up with the Boston-based writer the week before she embarks on her tour, which will take her across the United States. The following interview has been edited for space; find an extended version on sevendaysvt.com.

SEVEN DAYS: A lot of people know you for “Ode to My Bitch Face.” When did you write that?

OLIVIA GATWOOD: I wrote that about three years ago, after I was at a conference where I was performing alongside a lot of other acts that were also competing to be booked as college entertainment — magicians and comedians. There was a hypnotist, and I was having a conversation with him about how consent plays into hypnotism. Like men, especially, going into schools and hypnotizing young women to do silly things. It was just really weird to witness. And I was curious, what are the boundaries and how does consent play into that?

So I asked him that question, and he didn’t answer but instead decided it would be a good time to be like, “Were you born with that bitch face, or did you get it over time?” Which does answer my question. I don’t think consent plays into his act. So I went home and wrote that poem as a response to him.

SD: Hypnotism is really weird.

OG: It’s really weird. And you know what’s interesting about it? When I asked that question, I was made to feel really crazy and dramatic by everyone that was there, mostly a bunch of male comics, hypnotists and magicians. Everyone acted like I was a buzzkill for asking that, and it got in my head. And, not long after I asked him that, an article came out about a divorce attorney [who] … was hypnotizing women during sessions to assault them. I realized that my question is actually really logical and justified, because clearly it is being used to do violent things. And, not long after that, the same hypnotist that said I had a “bitch face” had assault allegations [brought] against him.

SD: That was three years ago. How has your poetry changed since then, or has it?

OG: My poetry has changed a lot. I think “Bitch Face” was the start of an era of writing. It was the first really intentional ode that I’ve written, and odes have since become a backbone to a lot of my work. The language and the rhythm in “Bitch Face” was a new style for me at that time, and I’ve since stuck to that. I had an opportunity to be really playful with my language — it’s a really rhythmic poem.

And [it’s] one of the first poems I wrote with the full intention of having it live both on paper and as performance. Because I was brought up in spoken word, most of my poems were written for a stage. [But] since [“Bitch Face”], all of my poems exist that way, and I’m intentional with all my poems and how they appear on a page. How they look and feel, and how a reader can

interpret it their own way. It doesn’t need to be listened to to make sense.

SD: I had a professor once tell me never to share poems on social media or on the internet, only in a “reputable” journal. How do you deal with that kind of old-guard thinking about the “right” venue for poems?

OG: I think, because I was raised in spoken word, I never was severely impacted by what I think is often a very elitist, hyper-literary, inaccessible poetry world.

I was raised with the understanding that poetry is for everybody, and that poetry should be accessible, and it should be consumed widely. I grew up going to open mics at bars.

When you’re raised in spoken word, you can feel not as good or not as smart as other writers. And I think that that idea, that spoken word is not as worthy as other poetry, is honestly rooted in classism and racism.

Modern-day spoken word is predominantly [performed] by marginalized communities. So I think it’s really easy for the white literary world to look at it and say, “That’s not real poetry.” I just was lucky it never truly impacted me.

It was something I had to consider, and for a while I had to grapple with, and I struggled with wanting to write poems that were taken seriously versus poems that were true to me. And then also [to] define what it means to be taken seriously. If my primary readership is teenage girls, does that mean my poems aren’t serious? And if my poems aren’t serious because of that, then what does that mean? What does that say about what we think of teenage girls?

Which is to say, I don’t agree that your poetry shouldn’t be on social media. You know? If you want to reserve some poems to be in journals, great. But some of the best-selling poets got their start on Tumblr [and] Instagram. I don’t know that there’s one way of existing as a poet right now.

SD: Your tour is called Alternate Universe Tour.

Where did that title come from?

OG: I have a poem called “Alternate Universe in Which I Am Unfazed by the Men Who Do Not Love Me.” And I wanted the title of the tour to be a reference to one of my poems, to kind of ground people who have been following my work and make them excited about coming. But I was also thinking, a lot of people come to poetry to feel validated and to feel seen and heard about things that have previously been ignored, or [that] they’ve been told they’re crazy for feeling. I’m imagining that our show as an entity is an alternate universe where people can exist as themselves, wholly and unapologetically and free of shame. And, even for two hours in time, to feel like there are people in the world who believe them. I think that’s a rare experience. m

Vermont Stage from an artistic standpoint,” said Riggs. “To have that cornerstone organization in the Black Box is something that I had been hoping for.”

To accommodate the needs of Vermont Stage — soon to become the Black Box’s primary client — MSL has paid for renovations, including removing the cinema seats and giving the space a fresh coat of environmentally friendly paint.

In turn, Vermont Stage will make some of its lighting equipment available to other renters. Riggs plans to open up the Black Box to conventions and weddings. “It’s going to be a vibrant, exciting space,” she said, “and a lot of that is because of this collaboration and renovation.”

According to Alicea, Vermont Stage plans to raise about $35,000 to install new lighting and sound equipment. It will also need funds to hire additional personnel and acquire ticketing equipment to run its own box office.

Most of the purchases are onetime costs, said Alicea.

RIG GS Moving to the Black Box “will definitely save us some money.” The savings can be reinvested in the theater company’s work, she added.

Both Alicea and Riggs are hopeful that Vermont Stage will draw more people to the Burlington waterfront and introduce more people to theater. “[We] try to enrich Burlington and to make it a more viable arts scene,” said Riggs. “I really think this renovation at the Black Box is a key component of that mission.”

Simon Stephens’ The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, based on Mark Haddon’s book of the same name, will be Vermont Stage’s final performance in the FlynnSpace this fall. m

heatergoers, producers and artists can look forward to an “artistically fulfilling” experience when VERMONT STAGE takes up residence at the BLACK BOX THEATRE at the MAIN STREET LANDING PERFORMING ARTS CENTER this winter, said producing artistic director CRISTINA ALICEA. Making the decision to leave the FLYNNSPACE, where the company has been based since 2000, was difficult, she said: “We kept thinking, Is this something our audience would be excited about?”

But Alicea said there was “overwhelming evidence” that the Black Box would meet “so many of the needs that we’ve been longing for for so long in a performance venue.”

These elements include easy access for elderly theatergoers, unobstructed views of the performance area, a lobby where patrons can have a drink and mingle before a show, dressing rooms, and 17-foot ceilings that can accommodate multilevel sets.

“There are just so MARIAH many shows that, unfortunately, we’ve had to say no to producing because of the limitations of our space,” said Alicea. “Now we can say yes. [We could] potentially do a show that has a balcony.”

She had been thinking about leaving the FlynnSpace for some time and had her eye on the Black Box, but the layout wasn’t ideal with its fixed, cinema-style seating.

“What we’re known for is really intimate theater with flexible seating arrangements,” said Alicea. “One of the fun things that the audience has come to love about our work is that they come into the theater and it’s different every time.”

As it happened, MSL Performing Arts Center director MARIAH RIGGS had been looking to transition the Black Box into a “giant black space” that could serve as a multipurpose venue.

“We had doors we couldn’t even open because the seating was in the way,” she noted.

A meeting between the two women inspired Riggs to move forward with the idea.

award for Best Integration of Music into Film at the 2017 fest. On Sunday, August 26, Starbuck will present a modified version of her in-progress film “How We See Water,” an experimental doc that explores the struggle for marginalized women in Chiapas, Mexico, to educate themselves. In lieu of an audio track, the screening will be accompanied by a live VSO performance of a score by 2002 Middlebury College grad MATT LAROCCA. Craven notes that collaborations like the VSO award are “really key to the festival and its ability to advance.” He also cites the Jacob Burns Film Center Creative Culture Award — the recipient of which earns a monthlong residency at the Pleasantville, N.Y.-based arts incubator — as a symbiotic partnership that raises the festival profile while promoting the work of burgeoning filmmakers.

“Our view is that through partnership everyone gets stronger,” Craven says, “and that there’s no sense, either among nonprofits or among film festivals, frankly, to really see themselves in a competitive relationship.”

A new award this year is the Gaia Prize for Environmental Filmmaking, chosen by environmental activist and author BILL MCKIBBEN from an MNFF

short list. The inaugural awardee of the $1,000 cash prize is freshman director Ryan Patrick Killackey’s Yasuni Man, about the encroachment of fossil-fuel interests on native species and the indigenous Waorani tribe of the Ecuadorian Amazon. Killackey, a former wildlife conservationist, will attend the film’s Vermont premiere on Friday.

In total, the festival will show 51 features and 55 shorts, split evenly between fiction films and documentaries.

Roughly 20 percent of the films were curated by festival staff; the other titles were selected from a record 475 submissions by filmmakers.

The only regret the MNFF team has about the packed lineup is that it’s impossible for attendees to experience every movie and filmmaker discussion.

“You could choose any one day, any screening, any time, and you could find something interesting,” says associate producer PHOEBE LEWIS. “It’s going to be a balancing act to see everything that you want.”

fall for that rhetoric. Who could blame them? Most of the union leaders, fortunately, see through Trump like a pane of glass.”

The more we talked, the more I liked this guy. He had dedicated his life to fighting the good fight. To me, that’s a life well lived.

I’M NOT SAVING MY LOVE FOR A RAINY DAY.

We hugged when I dropped him off in downtown Rutland. The older I get, the more I hug. I’m not saving my love for a rainy day.

“We might need a ride into Burlington when we get off the trail in about five days,” John informed me. “We’re gonna spend a few days in town reliving our campaign days.”

Four nights later, John called. “Gosh, it’s tough getting bars up here,” he said.

“I’ll talk quick. Could you meet us at noon tomorrow? I think it’s the town of Lincoln. We’ll be coming off the trail onto, it says, ‘South Lincoln Road’ right where 201 comes out. It’s a forest service road — 201, I mean — so I don’t know if it’ll be on your GPS.” “Don’t worry. I’ll find it, John. See you tomorrow.”

I did find it, though it was tricky. I arrived at the dirt-road intersection right at noon, and the boys emerged a few minutes later. There were the four of them, plus one young woman and one dog. The guys appeared tired, but good

They placed their backpacks there as well and, on top, the pooch. The woman, Reba, took the shotgun seat, while the guys got comfortable in the rear.

“Are you doing OK?” I gently asked my seatmate as we began the drive back to Burlington. “You look a touch worn out.”

“I’ve been sick for a couple days with a stomach thing,” she explained. “These guys took me in and looked out for me in the hut last night.”

What a sweet bunch of dudes, I thought. In this vital (and long overdue) #MeToo era, it’s good to recognize the safe, kindhearted men among us.

On the way into town, John searched for a dog-friendly hotel. “It might be tough to find a vacancy,” I said. “This weekend is the Festival of Fools. Well, every weekend is something.”

It took a few clicks, but John found an open spot at La Quinta on Williston Road. When we arrived at the hotel, the guys were delighted to see Al’s French Frys right next door. Apparently, this

was a regular hangout for them back in the day during the Dean campaign.

They rented one big room with extra cots, including one for Reba. When I picked them up later that evening for a ride to Church Street, the boys looked showered, clean and rested. Reba, too, looked great, her eyes clear, and all smiles. “I’m all better!” she said.

For the next few days, I drove them between La Quinta and downtown — always the gang of five. I had the sense that they were picking up the tab for Reba every step of the way.

On the fourth day, Reba was booked on the Amtrak to Springfield, Mass.

When I showed up at eight in the morning, all the guys were waiting with her outside to see her off. She gave each one a big hug, like when Dorothy left her crew in Oz to return to Kansas.

On the ride to the train station in Essex Junction, I got the skinny. Reba was at Harvard in a graduate pre-med program. “Do you come from a family with a lot of doctors?” I asked.

Reba laughed. “Not quite,” she replied. “I’m the first person in my extended family to graduate from college.”

ohn Wordsworth, a Washington, D.C., resident, was going to hike the Long Trail with three friends. He planned on flying into Burlington and taking a cab from the airport to Rutland, where the foursome would rendezvous and hit the trail.

John had been a college friend of Lori Flanagan’s and knew she now lived in Burlington. So he contacted her for a taxi recommendation, and Lori, a regular customer of mine, gave him my number.

Word of mouth is a beautiful thing.

That’s how I ended up driving south on Route 7 with John — a short man, friendly and talkative — beside me in the shotgun seat. I dug his precisely trimmed short beard, a vision of facial topiary.

“Are these guys you’re hooking up with old college buddies?” I asked.

“Nope. Two are, like me, veterans of Howard Dean’s presidential campaign, and the third is a son of one of the guys.”

“That was a righteous, long-shot campaign, man,” I said. “I remember the cool house they rented on Intervale Avenue in the Old North End. It was always teeming with volunteers. What did the press call them? The Deaniacs?”

“Oh, yeah — the Deaniacs,” he said, chuckling. “That was us.”

“Are you still involved in politics?”

“I am. I lobby for the United Mine Workers. It’s a tough road for these guys.

An entire way of life, and not just the jobs, is disappearing before their eyes.

tired — relaxed and happy. The dog looked exhilarated, having spent four days in the natural world. The woman, who was tall and lean, was the exception. She looked bedraggled.

he Inkpot Award sitting on Jason Lutes’ mantel is kind of adorable: The anthropomorphized inkpot-person strikes an attitude, right hand on hip, left holding a stafflike quill pen à la Gandalf. Given annually by Comic-Con International to major contributors “to the worlds of comics, science fiction/fantasy” and related fields, the trophy is surprisingly petite, maybe a foot or so high. But the award — which Lutes received at the San Diego Comic-Con in July — has outsize significance just now.

The 50-year-old cartoonist, who lives in Hartland and teaches at the Center for Cartoon Studies in White River Junction, has recently finished a masterwork in the comics medium — or, as he calls it, visual storytelling. And what a story it is.

The final book in Lutes’ Berlin trilogy is about to be released in softcover by publisher Drawn & Quarterly, simultaneously with a 580-page hardcover tome that comprises all three volumes. Collectively, it’s an astonishing accomplishment that represents a grand vision and more than 20 years’ work.

Aside from the sheer quantity of drawing and writing that went into the books, Berlin’s visual inventiveness, sharp observation and emotional impact have elicited gushing praise from early reviewers. And, given its subject matter — the dissolution of Germany’s Weimar Republic and the rise of fascism — the graphic novel reads as eerily prescient in the current political climate.

While Lutes’ Inkpot coincides with this milestone, it’s notable for another reason: It’s his first professional award. When he received it last month, the cartoonist relates with characteristic modesty, “It was a complete surprise, and I was utterly delighted.”

What’s more astounding is that previous award nominations failed to produce a win, because Berlin is by no means Lutes’ only accomplishment. His

acclaimed earlier series Jar of Fools, which began as a comic in Seattle’s alternative newsweekly the Stranger, was published in book form in 1994. Lutes has illustrated for Nickelodeon Magazine and other print and web publications and created album art. His shorter comics can be found in a number of compilations and anthologies. He collaborated on a previous graphic novel — The Fall, published in 2001 — with famed comic-book writer and “Westworld” contributor Ed Brubaker. Another collaboration, with Nick Bertozzi, produced Houdini: The Handcuff King, published by Disney in 2007.

Creating all of this work, plus teaching at CCS since 2008 and raising two children, might be enough to derail a normal person from a project as enormously demanding as Berlin. If there were a prize for sheer tenacity, Lutes would be a shoo-in. Though the Inkpot isn’t tied to a specific work, it certainly comes at a pivotal point in his career.

“In some ways, he’s finally finishing [Berlin] at the perfect time,” comments Brubaker, “since it’s actually more relevant today than it was in 1996, sadly. I’m excited to sit down and read the entire story again from the beginning. Jason’s always been one of the most driven and imaginative artists I know.”

It should surprise no one, even Lutes, if his mantel begins to get a little more crowded.

will navigate the names of multiple political parties vying for power in the volatile interregnum between the world wars. But it is Lutes’ invented characters, an array of resident Berliners, who show us the daily life — and soul — of the city.

One such resident is a young female art student, newly arrived from Köln (Cologne); another, a seasoned journalist whose belief in the power of the written word is gradually worn down by extremism.

A working-class family is torn apart by differing political views and a tragic death. A wealthy socialite flits through decadent parties before aligning with the Führer. A Jewish family that befriends a good-hearted vagrant and a troubled orphan eventually must flee.

These and other characters represent the city’s social, economic and political strata. Some intersect; others never meet. Many watch friends turn to foes. All are caught in the inexorable web of political forces.

Julia Pohl-Miranda is the marketing director at Drawn & Quarterly, so it’s her job to hype the Montréal-based company’s publications. Still, it doesn’t seem like hyperbole when she tells Seven Days that Berlin is “destined to be one of the greatest graphic novels ever.”

Having published Lutes’ Jar of Fools, D&Q was eager to sign a deal for his trilogy, she says.

“The human attention to the ordinary person, the elegance of the cartooning, the diverse cast speaking to diverse experiences — all of it was in the mix from the beginning,” Pohl-Miranda says. “Over time, year on year, each chapter affirmed Jason’s quiet genius.”

D&Q has printed more than 100,000 of the first two volumes of Berlin in paperback; Pohl-Miranda says the first print run of the hardcover edition is 20,000. Its list price: $49.95. While that number might give some potential customers pause, just lifting the book makes it clear that Berlin is textbook-scale in both weight and value.

In fact, history professors would do well to augment their more prosaic texts with Lutes’ gripping visuals and human stories.

About those humans: As Pohl-Miranda notes, the cast is diverse. Set in a real time and place, Berlin incorporates historical figures, such as imprisoned newspaper publisher Carl von Ossietzky, German chancellor Heinrich Brüning and, ultimately, Adolf Hitler. Readers

The graphic novel reads as eerily prescient in the current political climate.

Lutes claims that he knew next to nothing about the Weimar Republic when he decided to create a 24-chapter, three-volume book about it. In his deep dive into historical research, he says, “I remember being surprised that the Treaty of Versailles [in 1919, ending World War I] very clearly set the stage for a resurgence of German power, and that upwards of 30 different political parties held seats in the Reichstag during the Weimar period. But most of all,” he adds, “I was surprised at the intense and progressive culture of Berlin.”

It was, after all, the Jazz Age, and not just in the U.S. At the time, despite Germany’s governmental disarray, Berlin rivaled Paris as a cultural center of Europe. The arts, intellectual life and club scenes flourished; sexual and gender norms loosened. The zeitgeist depicted in Cabaret, which was based in part on Christopher Isherwood’s The Berlin Stories, necessarily figures in Lutes’ saga, too. “I’d had no idea how cosmopolitan it was,” he says.

And so we meet touring African American musicians, gay lovers and decadent partyers, as well as sparring activists, street toughs, struggling families and increasingly imperiled Jews.

“Enlightenment implies great change, and people get scared about change,” Lutes observes. “Some people just want to be told what to do.”

Reading Berlin can be confusing at first.

Though occasional pages have a time stamp (e.g., “September 1928”) Lutes interweaves his characters’ stories and doesn’t signal when the narrative switches from one to another. “I wanted to avoid [imposing] even a neutral voice,” he explains. “I felt like that would take the reader out of the story.”

In time, as readers progress through the book, familiarity with the individual story lines dissolves confusion; in its place comes a keen interest in following the fates of these beleaguered citizens of Berlin.

Lutes’ mastery of his medium cannot be overstated; Berlin is a veritable compendium of cartooning techniques. His realist cityscapes are exacting, his characters’ faces uniquely expressive. Lutes’ use of line, contrast, and panels of variable shape and size contributes to the graphic appeal. Sometimes whole pages of pictures, without words, tell us everything.

Given the dark themes, Lutes’ drawing of the books in stark black and white seems appropriate. But he acknowledges other reasons, two of which are practical: “One, it’s easier. If you put in color, it multiplies the visual storytelling by 10,” Lutes says. “And two, at the time I started, it was cheaper to print.”

The artist also likes the immediacy of black and white. “When you pick up a book to read, it’s an intimate experience,” he says. “With comics, when I draw those pages, it’s ink on paper. When printed, it’s ink on paper. It’s very close to the original.

The Backstory Bios of Jason Lutes say he was born in New Jersey, which is true. But he was just a year old when his family moved to Missoula, Mont. Like many a future cartoonist, Lutes says, he began drawing as a child, before he could read or write.

“Sometimes I would copy existing comics, which my mom would letter for me,” he acknowledges.

In the beginning, he tried to emulate westerns and superhero comics and would “turn school assignments into comics when I could.” But an early introduction to the French comic-book series The Adventures of Tintin and Asterix turned out to hold greater influence on his drawing style, Lutes says.

After earning a bachelor’s of fine arts at the Rhode Island School of Design in 1991, Lutes moved to Seattle and took a job at comics publisher Fantagraphics.

Before long, he met Sturm, whom he soon joined at the Stranger. A production assistant there for two years, Lutes spent another two as art director after

“I appreciate the closeness to the artist,” Lutes adds.

A comparison with Maus is perhaps inevitable: Art Spiegelman’s groundbreaking work is also in black-and-white comic-book form and related in historical period and import. Serialized from 1980 to 1991, it was published as a book in 1992 and became the first graphic novel to win a Pulitzer Prize.

In Spiegelman’s work, structured as an interview with his father about the Holocaust, mice represent Jews, cats Germans, and pigs Poles. While the two works are distinct, Lutes applauds the form-busting precedent in his chosen genre. “When Maus came out, it opened up this whole realm of what comics can do,” he observes.

One of those things is revisiting the past to tell, or retell, stories in pictorial form. It’s an interest Lutes shares with longtime friend James Sturm, cofounder of CCS. Sturm’s own historical fiction includes the award-winning graphic novel The Golem’s Mighty Swing, about a Jewish baseball team in the 1920s.

“James and I [are] both using our medium to delve into the past,” Lutes says, “to figure out the world.”

Creating Berlin, Lutes continues, was also about sharing and exploring. “I had a feeling of what was going to happen next, and I want readers to feel that, too,” he says. “Beyond that, I hope people will be more curious about what was going on then and investigate on their own.”

Jason ’s always been one of the most driven and imaginative artists I know.

Sturm left. He created his strip “Jar of Fools” at the paper.

Lutes met other emerging cartoonists during this time, notably Brubaker and Megan Kelso, who launched her career in the 1990s with the minicomic Girlhero.

As the comics scene burgeoned, so did technology. “I was in Seattle at the time of the dot-com boom, [and] the internet was taking off,” Lutes recalls.

He left the Stranger in 1996 to “make a go of it as a full-time cartoonist,” Lutes says. That was the year he envisioned Berlin, which he researched while getting by with freelance illustration work for tech companies, Nickelodeon and others, “and a trickle of royalties.”

A yearlong detour to Asheville, N.C., resulted in Lutes’ autobiographical piece Rules to Live By, which was subsequently collected in AutobioGraphix, published

by Dark Horse Comics in 2003.

In 2005, Sturm made his cartoonschool dream come true by founding CCS, with Michelle Ollie, in White River Junction. He soon invited Lutes to teach there. But Lutes’ partner, Rebecca Warren, was about to give birth to their daughter, Clementine, and the couple waited two years to make the move to Vermont.

The decision was a no-brainer, though. “Becka is from Grafton, where her parents still live,” Lutes says. “I had driven through Vermont the summer after my junior year at RISD and fell in love with it.” Besides, he adds, “I had always wanted to teach at the college or graduate level. It was an offer I could not refuse.”

Now the family lives on a rural road in Hartland and has grown. Clementine is 12; her brother, Max, is 8. Out back on the “mini-farm,” as Lutes calls it, the family keeps four pigs, 40 poultry birds, eight laying hens and two sheep.

“I must have green in my blood,” he says. “The landscape here really speaks to me.”

His workspace, by contrast, occupies a cramped corner of the musty-smelling basement. The only evidence of Lutes’ finished opus: a map of Berlin on the wall and the hardcover book on his desk.

Different times, places and characters are speaking to him now.

Turning the Page Everyone who knows him agrees: Lutes is a natural-born teacher. Kelso experienced that back in the early ’90s in Seattle, before Lutes officially was a teacher. “Things really opened up for me when I met Jason,” she says. “When I think about how much he taught me — I didn’t grow up reading comics, so

Kelso says she wondered how Lutes would feel after finishing Berlin. “It’s provided this structure to his life for such a long time,” she points out.

She needn’t have worried. As it turns out, Lutes found inspiration for his next graphic novel in the classroom.

“I developed an exercise for my students [to create] this three-part structure,” he says, likening it to the first-second-third-act formula of cinematic storytelling. He told the students to research a historical time and place, get a film from an online random movie generator and plug the movie plot into their historical period.

“Once you learn that structure, you allow for some improvisation,” Lutes says.

“I had them do a western, using Star Wars as a basis,” he goes on, explaining how the exercise led to his own inspiration. “I realized, after teaching that for six or seven years, that I had the basis for my own western.”

And so, in a sense, Lutes is returning to one of his childhood favorites. But

The results were presented to Lutes recently at CCS; as a videotape of the event shows, he was visibly moved.

“I think Jason’s reaction went well beyond being touched,” Howard observes. “It must be difficult to truly comprehend how much of an effect you’ve had on the people around you. Not many of us are ever given a gift that so effectively illustrates just how many lives we have touched.”

For his part, Lutes says he loves the intensity and dedication that students bring into the classroom, “because it helps me be a better teacher.”

He describes the mission of CCS as “to help people who are passionate about visual storytelling to explore and understand their chosen art form while building the discipline and broad skill set necessary to do the hard work of making comics.”

Lutes notes that he would not encourage his students to embark on anything as massive as Berlin. Begin with a page, he advises. “I feel like I started this after I had a grasp of my medium,” he says.

he was really influential. He was patient and taught me in a clear and methodical manner.

“I’m not surprised,” Kelso adds, “to hear he’s doing so well at the cartoon school.”

Luke Howard can attest to that.

Among the hats he wears at CCS are those of program coordinator and faculty member. “Every student that comes through CCS has the honor and the pleasure to learn at the side of Jason Lutes,” Howard says. “He’s that rare kind of educator that you cite for the rest of your life as someone who has helped alter the course of things, the kind of educator that goes well above the average investment in their students.”

In an homage to the conclusion of Berlin, 157 of those past and present students, as well as a few of Lutes’ colleagues, recently undertook their own ambitious enterprise: the “Secret Berlin Project.” They re-created the first six chapters of Berlin, a page each in their own style, bound them into volumes and packaged them in a wooden box.

his grown-up western will have a bit of an edge. “I’m trying to play with the tropes,” he says.

Set in 1865 in Arizona — when it was still a territory, populated by warring native groups, escaped slaves and other unbounded factions — the graphic novel will be a “traditional western adventure story,” Lutes explains, “but from the perspective of non-Anglo people.” And, he states in planning-ahead mode, it will be 96 pages long.

Lutes is about to embark on a Berlin book tour, but there is little doubt that he will finish this new project — and that it won’t be his last.

“My whole creative life has been driven by having these impulses,” Lutes says, “and following them through to the bitter end.” m

s I settled into the cockpit of Raven, Wendy Friant’s 1975 Dufour 31 sloop, the boat’s owner and captain issued explicit, no-nonsense instructions. “I’m the captain,” Friant said firmly. “You can question me later, but when I tell you to do something, you do it.”

Then, resting a hand on the ship’s helm, she smiled excitedly and said, “Now, let’s go racing.”

Friant, 59, of Charlotte had invited me aboard her boat to crew in the sixth annual Diamond Island Regatta, which took place on Saturday, August 18, at the Point Bay Marina in Charlotte. Part of the summerlong, lake-wide Lake Champlain Championship Series, the race is hosted and organized by the Royal Savage Yacht Club, an informal group of sailors based in the Point Bay Marina.

Friant, a former RSYC commodore, helped launch the race six years ago to benefit the nearby Lake Champlain Maritime Museum. She remains one of the event’s primary organizers.

During the prerace activities earlier that morning, the captains and crews of the regatta’s other 20-plus boats milled around outside the RSYC clubhouse sipping coffee and cheerily discussing wind speed and swell sizes.

Meanwhile, Friant buzzed around the marina tying up loose ends. She was so consumed with getting the race off without a hitch that she barely had time to consider her own part in the competition.

“I suppose I should probably think about how we’re going to do this,” she quipped as she motored Raven out of the bay toward the staging area, where the other boats were already under sail and zipping around, awaiting the starting horns.

As we approached, the rest of Raven’s crew readied the boat, and Friant explained the rules of the regatta.

Pointing to a long, sleek, dark-hulled boat with the name Corbeau emblazoned on the side, she said, “That’s the fastest boat on the lake right now.” Raven, she continued, is a heavy boat designed for cruising, not racing, and would stand no chance head-to-head with the likes of the high-performance Farr 400 Corbeau.

The regatta is broken into six classes determined by each boat’s rating under the Performance Handicap Racing Fleet system, which ranks boats based on their speed potential. Raven, Friant noted, was rated the second-slowest boat in the regatta. But because of the handicapping system, even if she physically finished behind the other boats in the race, she would have a certain amount of time shaved off her final result and could finish ahead in “corrected time.” The idea, she said, is to mitigate the advantage of sailing a faster boat and to reward pure sailing ability.

Raven, she added with pride, was currently leading in the overall Lake Champlain Championship Series

standings and had recently won the prestigious Ladies Cup race.

On this day, Raven was sailing with a small crew: a high school student named Ryan; a middle-aged woman named Fran; and a wiry spark plug who went

by Cloud and sported a nest of thin gray dreadlocks bleached by the sun. And then there was me.

COMPETITIVE SAILING

IS A CHESS MATCH. I have a modicum of sailing experience. I took and passed a sailing course two summers ago at the International Sailing School in Colchester, so I know the difference between a mainsheet and a mainsail.

I can (sort of ) tie a bowline knot. And I have a basic understanding of wind direction and how to trim a sail.

Otherwise, I’m a novice.

Friant had plans for me, though. “We’re gonna use you today,” she advised, while the others rigged the jib at the bow of the boat. Primarily, Friant said, my role would be to serve as “rail meat” — essentially, to hang on the high rail of the boat when it

leaned in the wind and provide counterweight to prevent it from capsizing. A small but important job, to be sure.

Five minutes before each class of the regatta starts, the committee boat — a motorboat anchored across from the starting buoy on which race officials view the proceedings — issues a horn blast, indicating a race is about to begin. A series of horns follows, counting down to the start. In the meantime, boats jockey for position along the start line. Now I learned an important piece of strategy: Get the start wrong, and it can sink your whole race.

As Friant explained, the goal is to cross the start line precisely when the starting horn sounds. Cross too late, and you’ll start the race behind. Cross too early, and you’ll have to circle back and cross again, eating even more time. It’s a tricky proposition, even for sailors with a lifetime of experience, such as Friant.

“I’ve had one good start all season,” she told me.

Unfortunately, this would not be a second.

When our five-minute warning went off, my crewmates were still fussing with the genoa, which jammed every time Cloud tried to raise it. Tension built with each blast of the horn as the stubborn headsail refused to fly. Finally, an exasperated Friant ordered Ryan to the helm while she scampered to the bow to fix the sail just as the final horn sounded.

“Well, that wasn’t good,” said the bemused captain after retaking the helm.

Finally under way, and about three minutes behind the rest of our class, Friant assessed our situation. Our compact, athletic captain stood barefoot astride the benches of the cockpit, ordering minute adjustments to the sail trim to sail as close to the wind as possible.

Before long, and despite the late start, it was clear Raven had begun gaining on the boats upwind.

Our goal was a marker off Essex, N.Y., where we would turn around and begin heading back downwind toward the regatta’s namesake, Diamond Island.

Constantly adjusting for changes in wind speed and direction, Friant calmly piloted Raven through a series of tacks.

As we zigzagged our way up and across the lake, I quickly came to understand that competitive sailing is far less leisurely than your typical pleasure cruise.

It’s a sport characterized by short, frantic bursts of physically demanding activity interspersed with periods of relative calm as you cut through the wind and waves.

Those latter moments are the ones when you really begin to appreciate the majesty of sailing. But, even during respites, it’s a constant mental game of adjustments, of supreme strategy. Competitive sailing is a chess match.

As we rounded the buoy off Essex and began our course home, Friant ordered us to sail wing-on-wing, a downwind technique in which the jib and mainsail fly on opposite sides of the boat, spread out like wings — as opposed to both flying on the same side.

Boats competing in the 2018 Diamond Island Regatta

Sailing wing-on-wing can be dangerous, because it increases the risk of accidental jibing; that causes the boom to sweep across the boat, where it might clock an unsuspecting crew member. Wing-on-wing also takes time to set up, no small consideration in a sport where every second counts. But the technique maximizes the sail area to catch more wind. More wind equals more speed. In other words, it’s fast.

Indeed, once Raven spread her wings, she soared down the lake. She regularly topped eight and nine knots — nearly double our upwind speed — and occasionally hit 10 as we cruised through the deepest part of the lake toward Diamond Island.

By this point, we had caught up to another boat in our class, Chip Kaupp’s Capri 25 Blew Sky. Neck and neck, we charged down the lake, Friant and Cloud

keeping a constant eye on Kaupp’s movements and adjusting accordingly.

We rounded Diamond Island and streaked upwind for the finish. Reaching the endpoint required a series of tacks, which is where Friant’s and Kaupp’s strategies, and courses, diverged. Blew Sky crossed the finish line just before Raven. However, thanks to the handicapping system, Raven actually finished one minute and 40 seconds ahead, good for third place out of four in her class — though second to last overall. Still, it was a respectable showing, especially given the disastrous start.

“That was my fault,” Friant told me later, referring to the jammed headsail. “As the captain, everything that happens on a boat is the captain’s fault,” she continued.

“I’ll go over procedures for raising the sail before the next race, and we won’t make that mistake again. We’re all always learning, always hopefully having fun and always getting better.”

I can attest to the truth of two of those three claims.

I learned a great deal about sailing in my two hours aboard Raven, and it was most certainly a lot of fun.

As for getting better, we’ll see. Over celebratory drinks aboard Raven after the race, Friant invited me back to crew again. To which I say this: Aye aye, cap’n. m Contact: dan@sevendaysvt.com

hen Paul Seward began his career as an emergency room physician in the 1970s, being called an “ER doc” wasn’t considered a sign of respect.

It was an insult.

In those days, Seward recalled, many of the doctors who worked with him in the emergency room were residents training to become surgeons or cardiologists, or else they’d “somehow made a wrong choice.” It was widely assumed that a doctor with 30 years of experience who chose to work in the ER was, as Seward put it, “crazy, an alcoholic or had one too many divorces” and was there to cover his alimony payments.

“The concept that it was fun,” he added, “just never occurred to them.”

For nearly 50 years, Seward wore the label of ER doc proudly and found his work challenging, rewarding and, yes, even fun. Now 75, the retired Vermont physician has published a memoir, titled Patient Care: Death and Life in the Emergency Room, about his career spent in the medical trenches, from smalltown community hospitals to urban trauma centers.

Seward agreed to an interview recently in his Middlebury home, where he lives with his wife, Linda, who’s a retired nurse, and their dogs. Gray-haired, with a matching, closely trimmed beard, Seward is as lean as a marathon runner, which he was for many years. Remarkably, he can count on one hand the number of times he’s been to the ER as a patient — and he went only once as an adult.

Visiting Seward’s home is revealing.

In one room, his wife sat at a computer screen engrossed in a session of EverQuest II, a fantasy-themed massively multiplayer online role-playing game, which Seward likened to 3D chess.

“I’m not as hard-core as she is,” Seward said. “I just like to wander around, kill things and take their stuff.”

On one wall of the living room hangs a framed Latin quote, the same one that Carl Jung had inscribed over his home doorway in Switzerland: “Vocatus atque non vocatus, Deus aderit.” It translates as “Called or not called, God is there.” On another wall is an Old Testament verse stitched in needlepoint: “What does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and

to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?” The religious décor notwithstanding, Seward describes himself as a spiritual but not religious man. During his interview, the conversation ranged widely, from near-death experiences to loop quantum gravity to the philosophy of the mind, the last of which Seward studied for more than 40 years and wrote about in numerous publications.

Born in New York City, Seward attended boarding school in Lake Placid, N.Y., before going on to Stanford University and then Harvard Medical School. He did his internship in pediatrics before switching to emergency medicine in the mid-1970s.

“As a pediatrician, I always asked myself what I would do if I were at a party and an adult fell down. I would ask if he’d had his baby shots,” Seward said

jokingly. “So, I eventually learned how to take care of grown-ups.”

Seward entered emergency medicine before it had evolved into its own specialty. In those years, he noted, civilian ER medicine was still incorporating lessons learned from the Korean War’s mobile army surgical hospitals, or M.A.S.H. units, as well as from the field trauma care administered by combat medics in Vietnam. (Seward himself was drafted and served stateside in the “Yellow Berets,” or physicians who worked for the Public Health Service.)

In the ’70s, Seward explained, it was widely assumed that an ER doc knew less than every other medical specialist in the hospital. Consider, he noted, the powerful paralytic drugs that are used to intubate, or insert a breathing tube, into a patient’s trachea; for years, only anesthesiologists were allowed to administer them. However, by the time he retired in 2017, Seward and his fellow ER doctors had the most experience at intubations and were the ones teaching the procedure to medical students.

But Patient Care isn’t about the evolution of emergency medicine, nor is it a macho narrative of medical heroism or a voyeuristic tell-all of the unusual objects ER patients have gotten lodged in various orifices.

Instead, Seward’s book is a humble, occasionally humorous and often philosophical reflection on the medical mysteries that he tried to unravel, the choices he made and, ultimately, the life-or-death consequences of those decisions. Each of the book’s 21 chapters tells the story of a different patient, some of whom came into the ER with mundane complaints, others with baffling ailments. Still others died and were brought back to life.

Seward deftly describes those conditions and procedures without getting mired in arcane medical jargon or the minutiae of human anatomy. Most impressively, he has written a 240-page book about his nearly half-century career as a physician without straying into the thorny issues involving Big Pharma, the insurance industry or the shortcomings of the American health care system.

First and foremost, Patient Care is about people — how they die, how they live and what working in the ER taught Seward about both.

“I believe that the principal reason we are on this planet is to have our noses constantly rubbed in our obligation to care about people who are strangers to us,” he writes in the book’s preface. “Our instinct to care for our family and our tribe does not extend to them. That kind of care must be learned. And, in my opinion, the ER is the place that, if you are paying any attention at all, will teach you that lesson.”

Seward began writing this book, he explained, while still living in New Hampshire a few years ago. At the time, he’d tried to enroll in an online creative writing class through Southern New Hampshire University. But when he realized the class was full, he signed up for the nonfiction class instead. In fact, the first two chapters of Patient Care began as homework assignments. His professor was so impressed by his storytelling that Seward decided to write a memoir, hoping it would interest a general audience as well as emergency department professionals.

In a sense, Patient Care was also a way for Seward to exorcize the ghosts that

create science

have haunted him for much of his career.

Of the thousands of patients he treated over the years, Seward chose to include those whose stories left indelible impressions on him — for good or ill.

In one chapter, for instance, Seward writes about the near drowning of a 10-year-old boy who, by all objective standards, shouldn’t have survived. He’d been pulled from a canal near Augusta, Ga., after being underwater for more than 15 minutes. By the time Seward saw him in the ER, his heartbeat had flatlined. After another 20 minutes of attempted resuscitation, the trauma team’s efforts seemed pointless, and Seward braced himself to break the news to his parents. Then, inexplicably, the child’s heart began beating again.

“I have no explanation for that. None,” Seward said in the interview. “It’s the only time that ever happened so dramatically for me, but there it is. And I don’t take credit for it.”

In another chapter, Seward recounts the story of a man whose symptoms of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease stymied his every effort to ease the patient’s labored breathing.

“No matter what I did, he kept getting worse and worse and worse, until he

died,” Seward recalled, in the interview.

“To this day, I don’t know why nothing worked. Have I thought of that guy once a month for the rest of my life? Sure.”

Such stories are central to Seward’s book, and not just because they highlight how life in the ER can be a cosmic crapshoot. They also reveal an often-overlooked component of the job: living with the burden of stupid mistakes, wrong decisions and unfavorable outcomes. Indeed, Seward said that one of the most important lessons he taught his medical students — one, he emphasized, that no one ever taught him — was that, in order to be an ER doc, one had to be “willing to live with that face on the ceiling” for the rest of their lives.

“If you can’t do this work because you can’t stand this pain, who’s going to do it?” he’d tell his students. “People who don’t care.”

It’s easy to see how much Seward cared, and still cares, about his profession and the patients he treated. On the day of his interview, he wore his cellphone, keys and watch clipped to his waist. One could envision him adding a stethoscope, forceps and laryngoscope to his makeshift

utility belt, as though he were ready to jump back into the trenches if duty called.

In fact, when asked what he misses most about being an ER doc, Seward didn’t hesitate.

“Doing it,” he answered quickly. “I had a sense of myself … which I don’t have anymore.”

Though Seward maintains his medical license, he acknowledged that he’d no longer be “safe” in the ER because he’s out of practice and his memory isn’t what it used to be. As he put it, “The ER is no place for an old man.

“I have been pretending to be a caring physician for my whole life,” Seward added, echoing a sentiment he expressed in the book. “I have no idea if I’ve succeeded, but I know what it felt like to try.

That’s what this book is about.” m Contact: ken@sevendaysvt.com

Renowned Westminster sculptor Chuck Ginnever thinks big

BY AMY L IL LY

W

estminster sculptor Chuck Ginnever, who turns 87 this month, once sat in a New York gallery and watched people look at a 25-foot-long work by Tony Smith. The experience alarmed him. Like Smith’s work, Ginnever’s is large-scale, metal and abstract.

“All the people from our culture walked up, looked and left. Americans thought they knew everything about it by standing still,” he recalled. “I’ve been fighting against that all my life. The only way to see my work is to use your feet.”

While most sculpture calls for inthe-round viewing, Ginnever’s creations of the past 60 years — he made his first significant work at age 27 — transform that visual journey into a continuous surprise. Works that seem to make sense from one angle look like entirely different

sculptures from another, and something else again from a few steps on.

Ginnever’s ability to challenge expected modes of perception has made him one of the seminal large-scale sculptors of the 20th century, along with his contemporary Mark di Suvero and the older Tony Smith. His work graces the grounds of Storm King Art Center in Cornwall, N.Y., the Hirshhorn Museum in Washington, D.C., the Seattle Art Museum and many places in between, provided they have acreage sufficient for his up-to-40-foot sculptures. One with a 70-foot span, “Green Mountain Blue II,” sits outside the National Gallery of Australia in Canberra. Perhaps only the outback can do it justice.

Vermonters who haven’t heard of Ginnever may be forgiven: Apart from the works on his property, only one of his sculptures is sited in Vermont. That

work, “4 the 5th (of Beethoven),” has been on loan to the Southern Vermont Arts Center in Manchester since Ginnever created the 20-by-40-by-30foot sculpture in 1972, on commission from the Vermont Arts Council.

Earlier this month, however, “4 the 5th” moved to Landmark College in Putney on the initiative of president Peter Eden. In a sense, it has come home: Ginnever taught sculpture and life drawing at the campus, then Windham College, from 1967 to ’75, and headed its art department from ’70 to ’71.

While “4 the 5th” was in transit, Seven Days visited Ginnever at his 1768 farmhouse, which he bought in 1969. As visitors approach, they get an introductory lesson in the artist’s intention, via a dirt road that bisects the 51-acre property of rolling, wooded hills and hayfields.

On the inside curve of a hairpin turn, Ginnever has sited “Untitled,” a 9-foothigh piece composed of triangles made from sheets of steel weathered to a coppery brown patina. Some appear folded, creating two triangles in different planes. The forms seem to lean together, touching only at their pointy tips, leaving geometrical voids in between.

Visitors cannot help but see the work from almost every angle as they proceed to the farmhouse. And every view, from one moment to the next, confounds expectations. Is each section bent, or only some of them? How does the whole stand so solidly while seeming both to fall in a cascade and to spring up from the weeds, depending on the point of view?

ART

Ginnever, with his goatee, feathered hair, button-down shirt and slacks, subverts expectations himself. Seated for the duration of the interview in a wingback armchair, he’s had two open-heart surgeries in the past decade, he said, and isn’t up to showing visitors his outdoor sculptures.

Yet he was just back from a major trip to Lincoln, Neb., and Clarinda, Iowa, where he attended openings for a multisite show of his work.

Accompanying him were his two exwives, two daughters and the artist David Rohn, the longtime neighbor and friend who hired Ginnever at Windham.

Collectors Karen and Robert Duncan of Lincoln, owners of a jet maintenance company, arranged the show, transporting nine of Ginnever’s works from California and nearly two

dozen from Vermont. A neighboring farmer with a small trailer took the latter group of works one by one past that hairpin turn before loading them onto four 40-foot flatbed trucks, Ginnever said.

The sculptures have been sited around both Midwestern towns as well as on the Duncans’ Lincoln property and at the Clarinda Carnegie Art Museum, a former library the couple bought and restored in 2012.

Despite these departures, a surprising number of works were visible from the house on Seven Days’ visit. Among them were early gestural works that recall abstract-expressionist paintings of the era, such as “Ithaca” (1959), made from found wood railroad ties and steel rails bent into swoops.

Ginnever’s larger, post-1964 works are all geometric. Clearly influenced by minimalism, they nonetheless reject the immediately graspable right-angle geometry of, say, Donald Judd or Sol LeWitt. Set in a hayfield, “Troika” (1976) evokes two mammoth, skewedperspective window frames joined at an angle. As one walks around the substantial forms, trying to determine how they jut or recede in space, they improbably shrink to vertical slits and grow again, while the changing voids capture successive views of the landscape. Ginnever calls this activation “breathing.”

A 10-foot-high prototype of “Rashomon” (1995) sits across the road from the house. Perhaps Ginnever’s best-known work, this is a suite of 15 copies of the same sculpture, meant to be shown together in 15 different positions. In the Nebraska-Iowa show catalog, David Ebony, a contributing editor at Art in America, aptly describes the form as “a kind of Möbius strip made of narrow, twisted steel planes.” As in the Akira Kurosawa film for which the suite is named — in which four witnesses recall conflicting accounts of the same crime — each position seems to delineate an entirely different sculpture.

“It’s virtually impossible to get your head around it,” Ginnever said. Those who tend to understand his sculptures right away are engineers, mathematicians and architects, he added: “People think I have a good math background, but I don’t. My geometry is self-taught.

I’ve been told by heads of math departments that I’ve invented my own geometry.”

Ginnever was born in San Mateo, Calif., and attended junior college there.

A member of the National Guard since high school, he was called up during the Korean conflict but “only got as far as Spokane.” After that war, he went to Europe on the GI Bill to study art for two years, including in Paris under sculptor Ossip Zadkine and renowned printmaker Stanley Hayter. “[Joan] Miró watched me pull a print one day.

I didn’t know who he was,” Ginnever recalled.

Ginnever returned to the U.S. to earn a bachelor’s at the San Francisco Art Institute and a master’s in fine arts at Cornell University. In 1959, he moved to New York City, found a low-rent loft and began making his found-materials sculptures, as well as “sketching” with a hand-me-down 16-millimeter camera. A New York gallery, Allan Stone Projects, gave him his first solo show in 1961. His second, in ’65, was held at Bennington Untitled-13 1

College, then still all female, at the invitation of art critic Lawrence Alloway.

Because rival critic Clement Greenberg held sway with many art faculty and students, however, the show was poorly attended, Ginnever recalled.

The college refused to return the works at show’s end and tore the largest apart, he said.

Meanwhile, Ginnever was doing stints of teaching art and participating in the ’60s “happenings.” He mounted Ergo Suits, a 1962 traveling artists’ carnival held in two New York towns, to which he invited the nascent Bread and Puppet Theater, as well as Eva Hesse, Tom Doyle, Walter De Maria and other artists.

Windham provided Ginnever’s first steady teaching job. In 1968, he organized “The Windham Show,” which he claimed was the first exhibition of com-

I’VE BEEN TOLD BY HEADS OF MATH DEPARTMENTS THAT I’VE INVENTED MY OWN GEOMETRY. C HU C K G I N N EV ER

missioned outdoor conceptual art in the country. It featured works by Lawrence Weiner, Bob Barry and Carl Andre.

The same year, Ginnever revived his carnival and used it to poke fun at the signature structure of Windham’s Edward Durell Stone-designed campus: the colonnade. “The students hated the colonnade,” he recalled. It funneled rain and melting snow to the underside, where precipitation dripped on them, instead of providing shelter.

Ginnever’s students created a puppet version of the white structure and, dressed in towering costumes, collided with it until it went down. “Attack on the Colonnade, Windham College,” a short film directed by Ginnever, can be viewed on YouTube.

Ginnever left Windham in 1975 after winning a Guggenheim Fellowship and a National Endowment for the Arts Individual Artist Grant. (He exited just in time: The college filed for bankruptcy in 1978.)

In 1980, Storm King acquired two new works by Ginnever and held an opening reception. By that time, the sculptor was already recognized for “invit[ing] the viewer to meditate on the nature of perception,” as the sculpture park’s website puts it. Storm King’s 8-by-17-by-18-foot “Fayette: For Charles

and Medgar Evers” (1971) appears simultaneously flat and 3D. “Prospect Mountain Project (for David Smith)” (1979), slightly smaller, seems to invent a new kind of origami in steel plate.

Ginnever names his sculptures after they’re made. His process begins with playing around with foamcore and a glue gun.

A steel maquette comes next.

College and increase examples of creativity on campus. When he visited the artist, he didn’t yet know of “4 the 5th.”

“I wanted ‘Troika.’ He said, ‘No, you can’t have that,’” Eden recalled with a chuckle.

When Ginnever suggested the piece at SVAC and showed Eden a picture, the president wasn’t so sure. Photographs do Ginnever’s work scant justice. But, said Eden, “once we [he and executive vice president Jon MacClaren] saw it in person, and saw the scale of it, we were thrilled.”

The two took Ginnever on a campus tour to scout out sites, and the artist chose the upper ridge lined with dorm buildings — far from the colonnade.

The form of “4 the 5th” — a row of four elongated aluminum parallelogram frames, with three set vertically and one flat on the ground — was inspired by Ginnever’s photographs of the shadows at Stonehenge. The name he gave it after the fact is equally apt.

When Ginnever gets a commission, he has the work fabricated by a studio — or “factory,” as he called it — such as Johnny Swing Welding in Putney.

Lately, Ginnever has turned to a more malleable material: thick paper. His 2012 creation “Multus” is a DIY sculpture made from a 20-by-18-inch piece of triple-ply Somerset paper colored to resemble the patina of weathered steel.

It comes printed with solid and dotted lines and instructions on where to cut and bend. The work was published in a limited edition by Landfall Press in Santa Fe, N.M., which also produces lithographs of work by Christo, Judy Chicago and others.

ust when you think earnest entrepreneurs have snapped up every viable inch of Burlington’s downtown to sell used records, dumplings or artisan anything, foodies take over a former funeral parlor and start slinging bagels, sourdough pizzas and craft cocktails.

To be fair, the Queen City is still waiting for Stonecutter Spirits to open its Highball Social cocktail lounge in the old Corbin and Palmer Funeral Home at 71 South Union Street. (That will happen any day now, according to sources close to the project.) But, with two new businesses up and running, the onetime funeral home is already hosting a livelier scene.

On warm summer nights, people gather at picnic tables outside the new Folino’s pizzeria, toting beer and wine from nearby City Market, Onion River Co-op. And in the morning, a breakfast crowd trickles into Willow’s Bagels for locally roasted coffee and breakfast sandwiches oozing with melted cheese, sautéed veggies and savory pork.

Though just two blocks from Church Street, the location feels tucked away, with the vibe of a cool backwater just waiting to be discovered.

FOOD NEEDN’T BE FUSSY IF IT’S

PREPARED WITH CARE AND INTENTION.

Both of 71 South Union’s bread-based businesses grew from their owners’ intense personal relationships with baked goods. Tyler Bean of Willow’s was a longtime bagel junkie who baked at home to unwind; John Koerner of Folino’s started making sourdough pizza when mastery of naturally leavened loaves proved elusive. Neither man had cooked professionally.

But what they lack in industry experience they make up for in heart and grit.

And the results prove, once again, that food needn’t be fussy if it’s prepared with care and intention.

In his previous life as a touring musician, Tyler Bean often settled into bed around 4 a.m. Since he partnered with his father, John, to open the bagel shop in June, that’s when he’s been arriving at work.

Bean, who would search out bagel shops wherever he woke up on tour, euphemistically described flip-flopping his biorhythms as “fun.” But, he said, he’s grown accustomed to spending early mornings — and afternoons, evenings and nights — working dough by hand.

to baking helped him feel present “when other aspects of my life were chaotic.”

Opening a restaurant doesn’t sound like a recipe for a calm and centered life.

But making bagels is “a long process and one that takes a lot of attention,” Bean said, “in a way that you can kind of be in the moment, as opposed to worrying about everything else that’s going on.”

The baker hails from Norwalk, Conn.; growing up, he spent a lot of time in New York City. But, probably wisely, he doesn’t try to make his bagels mimic the ones in the five boroughs.

“We like to say it’s a Burlington-style bagel,” Bean said. “So it’s somewhere between New York and Montréal.” The bagels are puffy, chewy and plump — as in New York — but dense and just a little sweet, à la Montréal.

Full disclosure: I lived in Brooklyn for many years, and I’m a total bagel snob who’s relatively inflexible on the old New York-versus-Montréal bagel debate.

During a sunny lunch hour in late July, I thought the jalapeño-cheddar round that bookended my Spike breakfast sandwich looked stiff and starchy. I steeled myself for doughy disappointment.

But the first bite revealed something softer, fluffier and altogether better than I expected. The bready pillow soaked up the juices from the sandwich’s wilted spinach, roasted garlic, egg and sausage.

I’d definitely order it again.

And I’m excited to go back and try one of the shop’s bagel bombs. Stuffed with everything from sausage and egg to flavored cream cheese, these petite dough balls are modeled after the ones at Milk Bar in New York In the kitchen, Bean gets help from Joanna Fortier, who has baked for Klinger’s Bread and managed Tomgirl Juice. She orchestrates the pastries — shortbread ice cream sandwiches, scones, lemon bars and buns — and advises on everything else.

During my lunch, I bought a raspberry “pup-tart” hand-pie scattered with coarse sugar, thinking I’d try a bite and save the rest for later. But the crust flooded my olfactory sense with the aroma of baking butter and sugar, and the filling was tart and sweet and tinged with citrus peel, and it was all crisp and flaky and interspersed with moments of sugary PIZZA BAGEL

Hang on to your meatballs, Burlington — there’s another pizzeria coming to town.

When PIZZERIA IDA opens early this fall behind PHO HONG at 662 Riverside Avenue, it’ll deliver a taste of southern Italy to the Old North End. The standard daily menu will include just three items: crisp, thin-crust Neapolitan pizzas, calzones and bready, Sicilian-style pies. Pizza three ways, if you will. Small plates such as meatballs and chicken cutlets will rotate on and off as specials.

“There is nothing pretentious at all about this place,” said DAN PIZZUTILLO, who is opening the restaurant with his partner, ERIKA STRAND. “We just like high-quality, simple stuff.”

Accordingly, the pizzeria will rely heavily on imported Italian ingredients: tomatoes and herbs grown on small biodynamic farms in Italy and imported by a friend in the Bronx. “These people are just like the [farmers] here,” Pizzutillo said. “They’re small farms doing great work; they’re just in Italy.”

Ida’s dough will be mixed from several different flours — Pizzutillo and Strand are still working on their formulas — and naturally leavened with sourdough culture.

Like many new restaurants, Ida will offer a paredback service model: Guests

order and pay at the register, and a server delivers their meal. While the shop will offer sodas and juices, alcohol will be a BYOB affair.

“This is not a bar-restaurant,” Pizzutillo said. “It’s a family place.” The shop is named for his grandmother, Ida, who emigrated from Italy via Ellis Island almost a century ago. “I remember her making meatballs, pizzas, cookies coated in honey,” Pizzutillo said. “Things you’ve never even heard of!”

Seating will be open, with scattered stools and high-tops for sitting and lots of counters for people who want to stand, eat and socialize. Pizzutillo said he hopes locals will embrace the casual layout.

While somewhat unusual locally, it’s more common in his native Philadelphia, where both he and Strand have cooked in restaurants — from casual to high-end — for the past decade. “We hope we can provide an experience that’s something different than what’s already up here,” Pizzutillo said.

When Pizzeria Ida opens, it’ll welcome guests for dinner Wednesday through Saturday, from 5 p.m. until the kitchen runs out of crusts.

To that end, the shop names its sandwiches after the loving, lapping, tail-wagging canines that belong to its employees, friends and family. The restaurant’s “Willow” was Bean’s beloved late Sheltie, from whom he hopes his business can take a lesson.

“It’s about how she lived her life,” he said, “how she went about dealing with things. This place is all about taking your time and treating people with respect.”

Testing a Business Model at Folino’s

Five years after opening his first pizzeria next to Fiddlehead Brewing in Shelburne, Folino’s owner John Koerner wasn’t really looking to open a second location. But in 2017, when he heard about the vacated funeral parlor building on South Union, he saw an opportunity. “It was kind of one of the last spaces in Burlington that hadn’t been developed,” he said.

Koerner also wanted to know whether his BYOB model, which involved hanging a shingle next to a spirited beverages purveyor, was replicable. “Curiosity killed my cat,” he said. So he leased enough space to accommodate both his woodfired pizzeria and a beverage business, which he assumed would be a brewery, as in Shelburne.

Middlebury-based Stonecutter Spirits signed on instead. Koerner doesn’t usually drink cocktails, but he liked the company’s energy — and product. During a recent Stonecutter cocktail tasting, he said, “I was like, ‘Holy moly, this is good!’

I couldn’t believe how good it was.”

The Burlington pizzeria has been open for more than eight months now, and Koerner said customers have been finding it without the additional draw of a bar. “[Business has] been pretty good. It’s not where I want it to be yet,” he added,

Leeky Chicken pizza at Folino’s

Margherita pizza at Folino’s

“but my model isn’t filled out yet since [Highball Social] is not open.”

The place was quiet last Wednesday, when a girlfriend and I had a late lunch inside the cavernous tiled space. To our left, a man and a woman in their thirties talked work projects over a red pie with roasted red peppers, mushrooms and artichokes.

Behind us, four twentysomethings in oversize T-shirts and cargo shorts sipped craft beer in cans. “I’m getting pretty into sours,” said one guy, launching a lengthy, if lax, conversation about local brews. On the airwaves, Weezer strummed a live

acoustic version of their 1994 hit “Buddy Holly.”

The laid-back atmosphere and straightforward service — order and pay at the counter, help yourself to water in blue plastic cups — belie a rather serious approach to pizza.

Koerner ferments his sourdough crusts over several days using a blend of flours from King Arthur Flour and house-ground organic wheat and rye from Champlain Valley Milling in Willsboro, N.Y. “I think all those organisms [in the dough] like the fresh-ground flour,” he

said, adding that he’s constantly tweaking his culture to keep it happy and active.

Happy dough translates to happy customers — or at least it did at our table.

The pies bake in a 1,000-degree-Fahrenheit oven that’s visible from everywhere in the restaurant. Our crusts were invariably crisp, blistered and chewy, mild in flavor but just a tad tart.

The smoky spice and floral aromas in a side of chile-infused honey enlivened the savory mélange of a scallop-and-bacon pie. Extra ranch dressing proved addictive for dipping slices of “leeky chicken” — Folino’s version of a classic Buffalo chicken-bacon-ranch.

A proper margherita came fragrant with basil and dotted with mozzarella di bufala, which is edible even by those who eschew lactose. Koerner special-orders it in bulk from Italy. “It’s one of those things that you [do and] hope people appreciate it,” he said.

He couldn’t say whether his guests do.

But, he added, sourcing premium ingredients is nonnegotiable. “If your product is really, really good, you’re eventually going to be fine,” Koerner said. “That’s pretty simplistic, but that’s what I do.” m Contact: hannah@sevendaysvt.com

JAMES BUCK

I started using Seven Days Tickets in July 2017. Before I used this service, I would spend hours and days individually messaging with people who wanted to attend, taking their contact info, and arranging payment through checks, cash and various online platforms. Through Seven Days Tickets, attendees can sign up at their own time, pay easily and securely online, and I get to spend my hours weaving and preparing for workshops.

The response has been really positive with my students, and many people have expressed that they would have never found my workshop if they hadn’t seen it in Seven Days.

Dumpster Dining At a gourmet event in Waterbury, a taste of food waste B Y SA L LY POL L AK

cheese and butter, espresso grounds, and flour that had been used to test millstones made at Elmore Mountain Bread.

From this salvaged and gleaned food, Francis Stellato, sous chef at Prohibition Pig, created a feast that was memorable for its resourcefulness and creativity — and its culinary quality.

“I loved it,” said Michael Casella, one of the guests. “It was absolutely amazing.”

He is general manager at Casella Waste Systems, which donated the dumpster. “My hat’s off to the chef,” he said, praising Stellato’s ability to feed people from food that’s usually considered waste. “You’ve just got to use your Yankee ingenuity.”

Waterbury resident Georgia Ayers organized and hosted the August 11 event, called Salvage Supperclub.

The dinner was the inaugural Vermont version of the Supperclub that started in New York City as a means to “put great food at the center of a dialogue about a more sustainable food system,” according to the organization’s website.

Georgia, 37, lives with her

husband, Jeremy, and their two sons in the Ayers’ ancestral home. The big yellow clapboard house is on a corner near Prohibition Pig, where Georgia works.

Jeremy’s great-great-grandfather, Orlo Ayers, a carriage maker and wheelwright, built the house in the 1870s. On the property, which includes Jeremy’s pottery studio, a barn, apartments and Airbnb rentals, the Ayerses are creating a hub of cultural activity. Using their address — 18 Elm — as the name of the multipurpose space, they host Sunday breakfast clubs and other art and food pop-ups.

“I see the crisis and I see the need,” Georgia said a couple of days after the dumpster dinner. “And I’m interested in hosting wow-factor events.” She was referring to food waste and food insecurity, and

dumpster can hold 16 people or four and a half tons of trash.

The people fit snugly inside if they are seated together at a table for dinner.

This was the configuration at a sixcourse dinner party earlier this month in a dumpster placed in a Waterbury backyard. The 12-gauge-steel container, cleared of garbage and power-washed, was transformed for an evening into an al fresco dining room. Each component of the space — like the dumpster itself — was an aesthetically pleasing and creative demonstration of repurposing.

A floor constructed of reclaimed wood covered the bottom of the 22-by-8-foot receptacle. A long wooden dining table was built from a pine tree that had toppled over in a storm. Plates and glasses were borrowed from ReSOURCE, a local nonprofit that trades in used goods.

Cocktails were mixed with infusions of over-ripe fruit and corn husks.

The centerpiece of the event — the meal — was prepared with ingredients that typically get tossed or composted, including wilted or bruised vegetables, mushroom stems, seconds of artisan

creating experiences that help people make a connection between the two.

The “wow factor” started for me when I walked into the Ayerses’ backyard and saw the dumpster, where I’d soon join 15 other people for dinner. The pine table was the handiwork of Georgia’s father, Ken Hamblin, a builder and stonemason who lives in Hartland. Giving off a whiff of fir, the table was a marvel of functional beauty.

Outside the pottery studio, guests gathered for drinks and appetizers. Burlington’s Zero Gravity Craft Brewery had contributed bottles of its Belgian ale, called Côte de Champlain. The labels were flawed. Green beans and carrots with imperceptible imperfections, culled and donated by Pete’s Greens, were pickled and arrayed on platters.

Seconds of cheese and bread came courtesy of von Trapp Farmstead and Red Hen Baking, respectively.

After a time, Georgia gathered her guests to formally welcome us to the event, a fundraiser for the Waterbury Area Food Shelf and Morrisville-based Salvation Farms, each of which received $540.

Georgia talked about moving from Vermont to Boulder, Colo., at age 18 and going with a friend to a food market.

Behind the store they found and recovered discarded, still-edible food: cases of produce and flats of yogurt.

“We took it home and made dinner for friends,” Georgia recalled. “I sat there [thinking] we struck this organic gold mine.”

Some two decades later, she worked for months to organize her dumpster meal. This time, Georgia contacted about 20 farms, restaurants, producers and grocery stores seeking contributions.

Some didn’t reply, but others responded generously, she said.

At the introduction to the Waterbury event, Theresa Snow, executive director of Salvation Farms, also spoke.

She explained how her nonprofit, which is centered on gleaning, aims to get farm food that might otherwise go uneaten onto the plates of food-insecure Vermonters.

Snow described a 2016 Salvation Farms study that showed 14.3 million

food+drink Stellato steered us through a meal that started with a terrific kale salad — simple, delicious and chewable. He had massaged the gleaned greens with vinegar and salt to soften them, then dressed them with lemon juice, olive oil, salt and pepper. “It’s my absolute favorite salad,” he told us. “I make it at home all the time.”

Using restaurant mushroom stems that are typically tossed, Stellato made pâté and Smoked carrots with herb pesto served it on toast with a side of summer roots.

“It’s a nice little foil to the soft pâté,” he said of the crunchy radish roots. “Enjoy, guys.”

Then Stellato disappeared to the Airbnb kitchen where, working with minimal prep space and a four-burner electric stove, he prepared the next course.

The chef reappeared to talk about smoked carrots, revived from their wilted state with us by his presence that our meal was safe.

And a few good drinks might have helped ice water, and housemade beet pasta ease the anxiety of any germophobes prepared with charred broccoli and cauliflower, blue cheese, and herb pesto. attending the dinner.

“I pretty much just kept going to We oohed and aahed over each course and accompanying cocktail, starting with Georgia’s garden,” said Stellato, who said a cheerful pink drink poured by Grace he snipped parsley, dill and carrot tops.

I hit it off with the diner to my right, Meyer — her “spent fruit gin fizz.” Meyer explained that she and Mike Dunn, bar Marieta Warnstedt, whom I met for the manager at Misery Loves Co., are starting first time in the dumpster. She lives in one Unearthed, a Vergennes distillery that of the Ayerses’ apartments and works in will produce vodka from potatoes. “Our the local school library.

Meyer laughed and replied: “It’s going we want? I’m in awe of Vermont and its people. This is a beautiful idea, and I to get wasted.”

Oski did a little lobbying at the meal: know it’s going to grow.”

Dessert was a rich chocolate-espresso “I’m totally down with people dumpsterdiving for food,” she said. “It’s usually cake as dark as the night sky. Meyer passed around one more round: amaro with good food.”

Hip-hop label Equal Eyes Records makes an imprint in Burlington

E

qual Eyes Records is a Burlington hip-hop label that’s emerged as the local scene hits an all-time peak. The imprint has released six projects in as many months and won’t slow down anytime soon.

Burlington’s rap scene — like Vermont’s at large — has always had an independent streak. Hip-hop labels have existed there before, but they’ve typically been in-house operations. For instance, Machete Ish Records was established solely to release the work of hardcore lyricists Jynx Inc. MilkHaus Studios is home to a small group of rappers, producers and artists from Ferrisburgh.

What sets Equal Eyes Records apart from the pack is its output and its commitment to being a real-deal record label, with physical products stocked in stores and online. The label’s Burlington-based founders also aim to expand far beyond the confines of their own circle — and soon.

It all started with collaboration. Back in March, the label debuted Tired of Waiting for Rappers, An Instrumental Series Vol. 1, an album from cofounders ILLu and Rico James. Both are young, prolific producers from the Queen City area who have been toiling in the scene for years.

It must be said: While that scene may be bigger than ever, it’s still fairly small. “Rico and I met from being on the same show bills over and over again,” says ILLu, 30, whose given name is Luke Gauthier. From those gigs

grew a working friendship — and, perhaps inevitably, a mutual frustration with rappers taking forever to finish projects.

Once they decided to work together on a beat tape, the idea of founding a label was not far behind. “It just made sense,” recalls Rico James, aka Eric McEdward, 32. “I’ve met a lot of really good people who make great, honest music.”

“Yeah, I think Rico had been cultivating the idea for a while,” adds ILLu. “We both felt like that tape was the best chance to finally give it a shot.”

WE LOOK FOR CHARACTER,

AND WE LOOK FOR PASSION. R IC O JAME S

That proved to be a good call. Since the March release of Waiting for Rappers, Equal Eyes has been a consistent operation, delivering a new project every month. Maintaining that schedule demands a lot of planning and work, and from the beginning the duo has drawn on its local network. First up was rapper/ singer/producer Teece Luvv, whose gloriously offkilter Semantics served as the label’s second LP. “The scene is tight-knit, so I’d known these guys for years,” says Teece Luvv. “It was easy to work with them, and they really do the work. I sent them the tracks, and

they did the rest.” He also praises their professionalism and payment system. All in all, Teece Luvv calls the collaboration “a perfect opportunity.”

Already, Equal Eyes Records was carving out a broad lane. The smoky, experimental vibes of Semantics were a sharp contrast to the soul-chop, boom-bap aesthetics of Waiting for Rappers. The label’s sound only continued to diversify.

Up next were two consecutive curveballs: the dark, electro-throwback sound of Agent Elsewhere’s instrumental album Great Extinction; and the imprint’s first rap album, Textbook, which featured Question the Emcee over a potent batch of ILLu beats.

“Equal Eyes represents the [Vermont hip-hop] culture, and I am proud to be a part of it,” says Question the Emcee, aka Josef Lavanway.

Rico James and ILLu have built their label quietly.

Equal Eyes Records is a humble operation in every sense, operating out of two home studios and running on constant brainstorming sessions. In person, the cofounders are earnest, unassuming young men who love to talk shop.

“I grew up at a time when Rhymesayers, Stones Throw and Rawkus Records were running the underground hip-hop scene,” ILLu reflects. “I have definitely tried to understand their marketing, distribution and overall creative schemes.”

This weekend, the Middlebury New Filmmakers Festival kicks off in various locations all over the quaint Addison County town. The festival, which spans Thursday through Sunday, August 23 through 26, draws filmmakers from around the world, many presenting their films for the first time.

And on Sunday, August 26, a select group from the VERMONT SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA is set to perform a new work from composer MATT LAROCCA as a live film score. The musicians will accompany a short vignette from director ROBIN STARBUCK’s forthcoming documentary How We See Water.

Following the film fest, the VSO will take LaRocca’s composition on the road with its Made in Vermont Statewide Tour to several locations around the Green Mountains in September and October.

LaRocca tells Seven Days that the process for creating his contribution to

Tribute shows: We can’t seem to get enough of ’em … for now. But that could change. There’s only so much rehashing of old movies, TV shows and music that we, as a society, can handle. Nostalgia burnout is likely to set in at some point in the next few years. All trends fade, after all. You’ve been warned. (God, this column wasn’t supposed to start out on such a severe note. Oh, well.)

While it seems like the same bands and artists get the tribute treatment over and over again, an upcoming performance caught my eye this week featuring a super-cool, underrated artist. Simply dubbed “The HURDY GURDY MEN Play DONOVAN,” the show pays homage to the wildly underrated “Mellow Yellow” singer on Tuesday, August 28, at the Light Club Lamp Shop in Burlington.

And who are the Hurdy Gurdy Men, you wonder? It’s Burlington royals SEAN TOOHEY (the NANCY DRUIDS, ENVY) and KIRK FLANAGAN (HAPPY SPANGLER, BARBACOA).

Along with special guests MIKU (MIKU DAZA), BILL MULLINS (BARBACOA), JEREMY FREDERICK (SWALE), PHINN SONIN, MICHAEL BRADSHAW (HAPPY SPANGLER) and JEFF BARON (the ESSEX GREEN), the group plans to play hits as well as surprises. That means we’ll likely hear the classics such as “Sunshine Superman,” “Jennifer Juniper” and, duh, “Hurdy Gurdy Man.” But will we also hear some tunes from the Scottish bard’s 21st-century catalog?

Did you even know that Donovan has

been more or less consistently putting out albums since his heyday in the 1960s? I didn’t.

Additionally, both Happy Spangler and the Nancy Druids have their own shows this week. The former hits up Burlington’s Skinny Pancake on Friday, August 24, while the latter takes the stage on Saturday, August 25, at the Monkey House in Winooski.

(Disclosure: Bradshaw and Baron are Seven Days employees.)

the collaborative presentation has been long and drawn out.

“The first thing I did was watched a lot of [Starbuck’s] films to try to get a sense of her style,” he says by phone. “I sent her some of my music so she could listen to who I [am] as a composer. We just tried to get a feel for each other.”

The limitations between the English language and how it’s used to describe music itself was one of the project’s main challenges.

“I can’t make a MIDI mockup of what [the finished product] will sound like,” says LaRocca, noting that there’s also no way to accurately describe with words the precise sound of a tension mallet on timpani or an oboe’s eerie, duophonic tones. “That was one of the biggest difficulties.”

And, of course, there’s the issue of cohesion between picture and music. “[Starbuck’s] style needs a specific sound-world,” he explains. “I can’t go be JOHN WILLIAMS or MICHAEL GIACCHINO, because it would be a complete mismatch.”

The screening, which takes place at Middlebury College’s Mahaney Center for the Arts, will feature a smaller selection of musicians, whereas the VSO’s upcoming tour will showcase the full orchestra.

Oh, and one more music-related thing about the film festival: Backwoods singer-songwriter BOW THAYER plays the annual Saturday Night Party at Middlebury’s American Flatbread.

And just as the expansion has allowed performances to shift from mostly solo acts to full bands, so will the move to North End Studios. Galileo notes that the relocation may also attract “guest chefs who are acquainted with pop-up-style service.”

The new era of the Nightshade Kitchen kicks off on Thursday, August 23, with Boston-based Americana outfit RUTHLESS MOON and Burlington’s own busker extraordinaire ERIC GEORGE. (Speaking of George, check out KRISTEN RAVIN’s review of his new album, Two Hands, Songs of Resistance, on page 67.)

Though not as massive as the production company’s three-day, Winooski fest in May, the Portland iteration’s roster is just as cool.

Most notable of the headlining performers is MIHO HATORI. The Japanese artist is perhaps best known for her work with YUKA HONDA in trip-hop duo CIBO MATTO. Hatori just released an EP, Amazon to LeFrak, which she put out under the name NEW OPTIMISM. Of course, a few distinguished Vermont artists and expats pepper the bill, including RYAN POWER, JULIA CAESAR, EASTERN MOUNTAIN TIME and PAPER CASTLES (which features Waking Windows’

REVIEW this The Dead Shakers, All Circles Vanish (SELF-RELEASED, DIGITAL DOWNLOAD)

Who are the Dead Shakers? Depending on the day, they might be a multitude of talented folks culled from Burlington’s pan-genre music scene.

Other times, the Dead Shakers might only be analog tape enthusiast Kevin Bloom — the amorphous project’s primary songwriter, vocalist and mad scientist — playing solo. All Circles Vanish, Bloom’s first album under the Dead Shakers name, is the former incarnation and features a cavalcade of Burlington talent: cellist Lauren Costello, Dwight & Nicole drummer Ezra Oklan, Gnomedad saxophonist Dan Rome, Madaila guitarist Walker Allen, State Radio bassist Chuck Fay — the list goes on.

To label the music contained within the album’s 11 tracks “psychedelic” is accurate and convenient, but also modest in terms of the wide stylistic breadth covered. Indeed, Bloom and co. revel

(SELF-RELEASED, CD, DIGITAL DOWNLOAD)

social and political unrest is George’s for the taking. He dives right into the task in “Two Hands,” the first of the album’s seven topical songs written, recorded and produced by George. Here he pleads for fellow humans to be accountable for how they treat the planet and the people on it: “Through moments of hopelessness as the road bends / You’ve got one hand to hold on, the other one to lend.”

Though the subject matter is heavy on this collection, the music varies from George’s typical Americana fare to rock to smooth jazz to toe-tapping tunes that belie lyrical themes of death, danger and destruction.

Certain descriptors tend to crop up in press coverage about the leader of Radio Bean’s Honky Tonk Tuesdays house band, Ponyhustle — namely folk, country and Delta blues.

Turns out, George can do grunge, too.

“Water When You Wake” opens with an acoustic guitar riff that calls to mind

Nirvana’s “About a Girl.” George’s casual drumming and eerie fiddle playing give this song an ominous feel.

The Sharon, Mass., native is prolific — this is his fifth release since 2015, not counting a 2018 poetry collection. He’s also multitalented, playing guitar, upright bass, harmonica, fiddle, mandolin and drums. Cellist Monique Citro, drummer Dan Fancher and vocalist Megan Rice help carry the load.

In “Trouble Out of My Field,” George sings in his raspy croon, “And so my friends, the problem is plain / The NEXT WEEK politicians and the cops and the banks are the same / It’s like one big company store / If we want our bread, we’ve got to kick in the door.” With this album, George makes it clear that he’s not going to accept gentrification, racism, police brutality or other injustices without a fight, and he’s inviting others to lend a hand.

Two Hands, Songs of Resistance will be available at ericgeorge.bandcamp.com on Thursday, August 23. Eric George plays on Wednesday, August 22, at the Daily Planet in Burlington and on Thursday, August 23, at North End Studios in Burlington.

August 23 is the birth date of the late songwriter and activist Malvina Reynolds, born in 1900. Reynolds penned popular protest songs “Little Boxes” and “What Have They Done to the Rain,” among others, that tackled topics such as suburban conformity and nuclear fallout. August 23 is also the birth date of Burlington bard Eric George and the release date of his latest album, Two Hands, Songs of Resistance. Like Reynolds, George documents the social and political issues of his day through song.

For a songwriter who’s been channeling activist-musicians such as Bob Dylan and Woody Guthrie throughout his musical career, this current time of

practices that likely took place there CHANNEL 15 during its heyday.

“Neighbors” is a searing wall of sound THRIVE WITH with overdriven electric guitars, sticky MORELLA handclaps and thrashing cymbals. The MONDAYS > 2:00 P.M. cacophony obliterates Bloom’s paranoid lyrics: “Who will be the next one? / My GET MORE INFO OR neighbors have an American flag in their WATCH ONLINE AT window.” In a different time politically, the VERMONTCAM.ORG song might be less ominous.

Serenity reigns on the flowery “Brother Stomach.” Shimmying hi-hats propel 16t-vcam-weekly.indd 1 8/20/18 briskly plucked acoustic guitars while humming, reversed samples flit and flutter.

Battered beats and gooey guitar take center stage on the instrumental “Headless.” Deep and loose, it balances the airy, beatless half-song “Surfin’ Ain’t as Fun as It Used to Be,” which precedes it.

As the Dead Shakers, Bloom comes into his own as a bandleader, visionary composer and student of the golden age of analog recording. At times, the record’s warmth and fuzziness make it impossible to tell that you’re listening to something new. Frequently awash in musical mystique and flummoxing lyrics, All Circles Vanish is nonetheless approachable, digestible and invigorating.

All Circles Vanish is available at deadshakers.bandcamp.com.

in swirling, effects-laden tones and digressions into textured, otherworldly freak-outs. But some tunes, when stripped to their essence, could be classified as slacker rock, country, trip-hop and/or avant-garde. Bloom and his associates — in the recording booth and behind the mixer — approach and fuse these disparate styles with heady panache, resulting in a hallucinatory odyssey.

Fittingly, the Dead Shakers’ debut begins with a dirge. “A nuclear war’s comin’,” warns Bloom in drawn-out, monotone syllables on “Accidental Graveyard.”

Right from the get-go, he’s bleak and starkly cynical, manifesting his anxieties both verbally and musically.

His vocals align with the track’s droning instrumentals.

Moving into “Medfield,” a punchy rock number that evolves into a twang-filled, double-time hootenanny, Bloom continues his dour streak. “Not that much is kicking in Medfield,” he notes, referring to the infamous former psychiatric facility in Massachusetts. He abstractly relates the hospital’s many “ghosts” to the horrific

“Every time [Raymond] was setting up,” ILLu recalls, “I was following him around asking questions. He has a lot of experience getting things done.”

The 3rd Thursdays events have been the epicenter of Burlington hip-hop’s recent explosion, networking existing artists and inspiring young hip-hop heads to become artists themselves.

ILLu very much agrees. “DJs, producers, rappers, singers, artists, breakers, filmmakers: We’re looking for everything.”

“Our big thing is just working with people who care about the art,” Rico James continues. “We look for character, and we look for passion.”

n recent weeks, agrochemical giant Monsanto was dealt a major blow: The Supreme Court of California ordered the company to pay $289 million in damages in a lawsuit filed by Dewayne Johnson. The former school maintenance employee developed nonHodgkin’s lymphoma after frequent use of the Monsanto product. His doctors do not expect him to live past 2020.

In many ways, the stuff of this highly publicized, controversial capitalist nightmare forms the basis of Shoreham- and Brooklyn-based artist JoAnne Carson’s career. Indeed, she writes in her artist’s statement that “the shift from ‘organic’ to ‘synthetic’ nature is a defining factor of our age” and “the knowledge that an Arcadian vision is forever in the past is the primary theme of my work.”

Carson’s solo exhibition, “Hyper Flora,” on view at Rochester’s BigTown Gallery through August 25, features a keen blend of imaginary landscapes, floral portraits and futuristic studies — “at once whimsical and monstrous,” as the artist puts it. Incorporating painting, drawing and sculpture, Carson constructs a unique and delightfully garish interpretation of both present-day and future eco-scapes. That her works seem to live so comfortably in an ambiguous territory between allure and menace is a definitive part of their appeal.

Given Carson’s decades-long career — crowned, perhaps, by a 2016 Guggenheim Fellowship — the nine works on display at BigTown are relatively recent.

One of the earliest pieces is “Sampler,” a 2007 sculpture of fabric, fiberglass and aqua resin. Jubilantly colorful, “Sampler” rises more than five feet tall with a festive conglomeration of fabric flowers that appear to be held by, or grow from, a purplish slug with legs. Compared to Carson’s first venture into sculpture, 2001’s ice-blue, wedding-reminiscent “Bouquet,” now in the permanent collection of the Brooklyn Museum, “Sampler” is much more cartoonish. It’s a self-aware caricature with big, visible stitching and the colors and shapes of a children’s book.

Carson frequently uses leggedness as

pom-pom-esque offshoots. It is Seussian, without a doubt.

Carson’s drawings, two of which are included in the show, form a visual and conceptual stepping-stone between her sculptural works and the five paintings on view. The color pencil “Sunspots,” for example, presents a sculpture-like biological form: a knobby trunk that blooms into flowers, which look almost computerized. Carson uses this digital aesthetic amply in her paintings. The drawing’s titular sunspots, faint concentric rings of color, are echoed elsewhere in later paintings as both soft- and hardedged color fields.

For example, in “Early Spring,” the large painting at the gallery’s entrance, the primary focal point of the busy canvas is the lower portion of a large tree trunk. One of its branches is severed, and a variety of flowers blooms at the fore of the painting. Some species, such as a pink rose, are recognizable; others are less familiar. In the righthand corner is a comic-book-esque daisy, but its petals and center are patterned with large, pixel-like squares.

Dappled and wonky shading and irregular scale blur the identity of “Early Spring.” It seems to exist somewhere between landscape painting and digital collage. The sheer variety of plant life crammed into the frame suggests aggressive growth, a grow-or-die ethos that shuns monocropping and monochrome.

Positioned demurely in the background is a tame topiary bush, a nod to the extensive lengths to which humans will go to control nature and its forms.

Somewhat sparser in composition is “Knotty Pine,” a smaller acrylic painting whose central figure looks like the devil on a stick. Atop a brown tree, its stubby bottom branches cleanly removed, is a wild mop of red foliage/hair from which two cut branches protrude like crazed eyes. A hole in that upper canopy reads like a grinning mouth with branch-fangs.

What are we to make of this insane, anthropomorphized plant? Is it a lone survivor of deforestation, hell-bent on vengeance? A benign biological deviant?

With humor, fancy and fantasy,

ART SHOWS

Carson’s visions of other worlds emerge from the conflicts and contradictions of this one. Akin to Monsanto’s profitdriven biological tinkering, she recognizes the human inclination to play God. “My work,” Carson writes, “is a salutation to the resourcefulness of living beings and my own delight in playing the role of artist/god in creating new things at which to marvel.”

The spectacle of “Hyper Flora” is certainly marvelous, if unsettling. By Carson’s measure, there is still beauty to be found in humankind’s most reckless interruptions of nature. Her world is one that accommodates both the pretty and the freakish — weeds, mutants and all. m

‘The Way You Look’ In the basement studio space at the BCA Center, Burlington City Arts has launched a new and exciting initiative. The “Artist’s

Artists” series asks Vermont-based artists to guest-curate a show featuring those who have in some way influenced their own practice. For the inaugural installation, sculptor Pete Moran collides the ethnographically inflected films of Rhode Island-based Ashish Avikunthak with environmental sculpture by Brooklyn’s Tim Simonds. The result is a bit of a head-scratcher: a plush carpet platform surrounded by Simonds’ industrial interventions, plus one slowly bleaching head of celery to keep you company as you watch Avikunthak’s meditative, nonlinear “Et cetera.” It’s a strange theater indeed, and a welcome hideout from the consistent pressure for everything to make sense. Through October 7. Pictured: installation view (detail), courtesy of BCA. Chuck Herrmann and William Holway. Through November 11. Info, 388-2117.

movies Mile 22 ★

M

ark Wahlberg and Peter Berg just may be Hollywood’s reigning It Couple. The relationship between the actor and the action auteur has lasted longer than many a showbiz marriage. The pair met in 2012 during preproduction for Lone Survivor (2013), discovered they had a lot in common and have hooked up for three more movies since then: Deepwater Horizon (2016), Patriots Day (2016) and now this one.

The two are happily planning a future together. But more on that in a minute.

First, a few thoughts on their latest, a completely fictional black-ops thriller they thought would be fun to make after the pressures of telling a trilogy of stories based on real-life tragedies. Every now and then, a work of cinema holds a mirror up to the cultural moment, even if that wasn’t remotely its creator’s intent. I think that’s what we have here.

With Mile 22, Berg accidentally taps into the wellspring of weirdness underlying life in the age of Trump: a topsy-turvy day-mare in which the White House might as well be the “Big Brother” house, and an unstable game show host has the codes to the nuclear

arsenal. Not that this was Berg’s pitch.

That would’ve been inconceivable, given the filmmaker’s penchant for the patriotic and his almost fetishistic obsession with all things military. Rather, Mile 22 offers an adrenalized celebration of American might, a veritable super-cut of tech-war tropes. The movie correlative to the commander-inchief’s dream military parade, it might just as aptly have been called Fire and Fury.

Wahlberg stars as James Silva, the leader of an elite CIA unit known as Overwatch. A generic bulletproof type with a license to kill and anger management issues, he’s basically Jason Bourne without the sparkling personality. What made this movie fun for its star and director clearly was getting to play with pricey, space-age military gizmos. Silva and a mission coordinator called Mother (John Malkovich) deploy them against hordes of brown people, teaching them not to screw with the red, white and blue.

Set in Southeast Asia, the story concerns a rogue cop, played by The Raid’s Iko Uwais.

He promises to provide the location of stolen radioactive material in exchange for asylum in the U.S. Overwatch is tasked with get-

JUMPING THE GUN Wahlberg and Berg may have spoken too soon when they predicted audiences would crave more of this picture’s mindless violence.

ting him to an airstrip the titular distance from the American embassy. Needless to say, heavily armed mystery combatants attempt to stop them. In a typical scene, a grinning Silva finger-shoots an opponent through his car window seconds before a Hellfire missile disintegrates the guy. Yay, drones!

A frenetic, only quasi-coherent excuse for 94 minutes of choppily edited mayhem, Berg’s latest proves both spectacularly vacuous and curiously smug. It doesn’t have a thing to say other than that our weapons of mass destruction are bigger, more advanced and, you know, cooler than everyone else’s, and it manages to say it with a borderline

Breitbart air of supremacy.

Which, I suppose, shouldn’t surprise.

The filmmaker has gone on record saying he modeled Silva on Steve Bannon. While we’re at it, let’s not forget Wahlberg has claimed the 9/11 terror attacks wouldn’t have gone down the way they did if he’d been on one of those planes.

So, these two were made for each other.

As you read this, they’re making plans to spin Mile 22 into a multipicture franchise. Yeah, that’s gonna happen. Next to that brainstorm, Marky Mark saving the day on 9/11 doesn’t sound delusional at all.

Crazy Rich Asians ★★★★

I

didn’t learn to appreciate romantic comedies until superhero franchises drove them extinct. OK, so that’s a slight exaggeration: Rom-coms still thrive on streaming services, often in series form. But they’re far rarer in theaters than they were 10 years ago, and the ones that have survived the cinematic climate change tend to be hardier and more interesting than the pastel-tinged Kate Hudson/Katherine Heigl/Nancy Meyers fare of yore.

Take the new hit Crazy Rich Asians, which is the opposite of a pastel movie.

The primary setting is Singapore, and every frame bursts with colors that are just as opulent and attention-grabbing as the characters’ lifestyles. Director Jon M. Chu, a veteran of music videos and dance movies, has embraced all the excess that the title of Kevin Kwan’s source novel promises.

If the movie is unapologetic about offering up affluence as eye candy, it’s equally unapologetic about telling a Cinderella story.

But it offers some twists on the rom-com formula to which viewers raised on American fare are accustomed, starting with the fact that the primary conflict isn’t amorous but familial.

Constance Wu plays the spirited Rachel Chu, a New York University econ professor who has no clue that her handsome boyfriend, Nick Young (Henry Golding), is the heir to one of Singapore’s richest families. Until, that

CLASS AND SASS Wu and Awkwafina make an inspired buddy pairing in Chu’s Singapore-set cross-cultural rom-com.

is, she accompanies him on a visit home.

One encounter with Nick’s regal, impeccably status-conscious mother (Michelle Yeoh), who has serious misgivings about a match with an Asian American career woman, is nearly enough to send Rachel fleeing back to New York. But, with the help of her friend Peik Lin (Awkwafina), she resolves to face the challenge. Proving herself worthy of Nick involves not just the obligatory makeover sequence, but also a climactic mah

jongg match that draws on Rachel’s knowledge of game theory.

The plot is heavy on wish fulfillment, and Rachel and Nick’s relationship is never fleshed out to the point where we’re rooting for them, as opposed to rooting for Rachel. If the movie still holds our interest, that’s partly because Nick’s mom isn’t a mere snobbish gorgon, a prospective Monster-in-Law. Her concerns about Rachel, both class-based and cultural, are rooted in her own past strug-

gles, and Yeoh convinces us that maintaining a dynasty isn’t for the faint of heart.

While this grand dame of Hong Kong cinema supplies the drama — augmented by a soap-opera-ish subplot involving Nick’s cousin (Gemma Chan) — supporting players serve up the comedy. Breakout star Awkwafina cuts through the romantic gauze with raspy-voiced, profane commentary, aided and abetted by Peik Lin’s dad (Ken Jeong, broadly outrageous as ever), and Nico Santos as Nick’s cousin from the “rainbow branch” of the family. I would totally watch a spin-off chronicling this trio’s adventures.

This is not a movie for those who want to see the dark side of Singapore: Crazy Rich Asians is decadent and “Dynasty”-esque, from the touristic drone shots to the drooling intervals of food porn. Several of its set pieces, such as a beyond-exorbitant wedding, would fit right into a musical.

The movie has just enough substance — such as a prologue that rebukes colonialist racism — to entice us to yield to its pleasures. More importantly, it serves as a subtle reminder of how very rarely actors of Asian descent play substantial roles in American movies, let alone making up a whole ensemble cast. Judging by the talent on display here, Crazy Rich Asians could be a harbinger of more than the rom-com’s rebirth.

RACHEL LIVES HERE NOW HARRY BLISS

REAL FREE WILL ASTROLOGY BY ROB BREZSNY AUGUST 23-29

brisk mirthful lessons and crazy sweet cuddle wrestles. I deserve them, too.” What do you think? Do these formulas work for you? Do they put you in the proper frame of mind to co-create transformative intimacy? I hope so.

You’re entering a phase when you have maximum power to enchant and to be enchanted.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): As you map out

your master plan for the next 14 months, I invite you to include the following considerations: an intention to purge pretend feelings and artificial motivations, a promise to change your relationship with old secrets so that they no longer impinge on your room to maneuver, a pledge to explore evocative mysteries that will enhance your courage, a vow to be kinder toward aspects of yourself that you haven’t loved well enough, and a search for an additional source of stability that will inspire you to seek more freedom.

VIRGO

(AUG. 23-SEPT. 22)

I think you’ve done enough rehearsals. At this point, the apparent quest for a little extra readiness is beginning to lapse into procrastination.

So I’ll suggest that you set a date for opening night. I’ll nudge you to have a cordial talk with yourself about the value of emphasizing soulfulness over perfectionism. What? You say you’re waiting until your heart stops fluttering and your bones stop chattering? I’ve got good news: The greater your stage fright, the more moving your performance will be.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): The two pieces of advice I have for you may initially seem contradictory, but they are in fact complementary. Together they’ll help guide you through the next three weeks. The first comes from herbalist and wise woman Susun Weed. She suggests that when you face a dilemma, you should ask yourself how you can make it your ally and how you can learn the lesson it has for you. Your second burst of wisdom is from writer Yasmin Mogahed: “Study the hurtful patterns of your life. Then don’t repeat them.”

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “All the world’s a stage,” wrote Shakespeare, “and all the men and women merely players.” In other words, we’re all performers. Whenever we emerge from solitude and encounter other people, we choose to express certain aspects of our inner experience even as we hide others. Our personalities are facades that display a colorful mix of authenticity and fantasy. Many wise people over the centuries have deprecated this central aspect of human behavior

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): In all the time we’ve worked on diminishing your suffering, we may have not focused enough on the fine art of resolving unfinished business. So let’s do that now, just in time for the arrival of your Season of Completion. Are you ready to start drawing the old cycle to a close so you’ll be fresh when the new cycle begins?

Are you in the mood to conclude this chapter of your life story and earn the relaxing hiatus you will need before launching the next chapter? Even if you don’t feel ready, even if you’re not in the mood, I suggest you do the work anyway. Any business you leave unfinished now will only return to haunt you later. So don’t leave any business unfinished!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Are you ready to mix more business with pleasure and more pleasure with business than you have ever mixed? I predict that in the coming weeks, your social opportunities will serve your professional ambitions and your professional ambitions will serve your social opportunities. You will have more than your usual amount of power to forge new alliances and expand your web of connections.

Here’s my advice: Be extra charming, but not grossly opportunistic. Sell yourself, but with grace and integrity, not with obsequiousness. Express yourself like a gorgeous force of nature, and encourage others to express themselves like gorgeous forces of nature.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “When

I picture a perfect reader,” wrote philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, “I picture a monster of courage and curiosity, also something supple, cunning, cautious, a born adventurer and discoverer.” I suspect he was using the term “monster” with a roguish affection. I am certainly doing that as I direct these same words

toward you, dear Sagittarian reader. Of course, I am always appreciative of your courage, curiosity, cunning, suppleness and adventurousness. But I’m especially excited about those qualities now, because the coming weeks will be a time when they will be both most necessary and most available to you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You do not yet have access to maps of the places where you need to go next. That fact may tempt you to turn around and head back to familiar territory. But I hope you’ll press forward even without the maps. Out there in the frontier, adventures await you that will prepare you well for the rest of your long life. And being without maps, at least in the early going, may actually enhance your learning opportunities. Here’s another thing you should know: Your intuitive navigational sense will keep improving the farther you get from recognizable landmarks.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Healing isn’t

impossible. You may not be stuck with your pain forever. The crookedness in your soul and the twist in your heart may not always define who you are. There may come a time when you’ll no longer be plagued by obsessive thoughts that keep returning you to the tormenting memories. But if you hope to find the kind of liberation I’m describing here, I advise you to start with these two guidelines: 1. The healing may not happen the way you think it should or imagine it will. 2. The best way to sprout the seeds that will ultimately bloom with the cures is to tell the complete truth.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Nineteenthcentury British painter J.M.W. Turner was one of the greats. Renowned for his luminous landscapes, he specialized in depicting the power of nature and the atmospheric drama of light and color. Modern poet Mary Ruefle tells us that although he “painted his own sea monsters,” he engaged assistants “to do small animals.” She writes that “he could do a great sky, but not rabbits.” I’m hoping that unlike Turner, you Piscean folks will go both ways in the coming weeks. Give as much of your creative potency and loving intelligence to the modest details as to the sweeping vistas.

SEVENDAYSVT.COM

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Speak the following declaration aloud and see how it feels: “I want strong soft kisses and tender unruly kisses and secret truth kisses and surprise elixir kisses. I deserve them, too.” If that puts you in a brave mood, Taurus, add a further affirmation: “I want ingenious affectionate amazements and deep dark appreciation and

CANCER (June 21-July 22): If you have been communing with my horoscopes for a while, you’ve gotten a decent education — for free! Nonetheless, you shouldn’t depend on me for all of your learning needs. Due to my tendency to emphasize the best in you and focus on healing your wounds, I may neglect some aspects of your training. With that as caveat, I’ll offer a few meditations about future possibilities. 1. What new subjects or skills do you want to master in the next three years? 2. What’s the single most important thing you can do to augment your intelligence? 3. Are there dogmas you believe in so fixedly and rely on so heavily that they obstruct the arrival of fresh ideas? If so, are you willing to at least temporarily set them aside?

as superficial and dishonest. But author Neil Gaiman thinks otherwise: “We are all wearing masks,” he says. “That is what makes us interesting.” Invoking his view — and in accordance with current astrological omens — I urge you to celebrate your masks and disguises in the coming weeks. Enjoy the show you present. Dare to entertain your audiences.

WOMEN Seeking MEN

SERIOUSLY SEEKING I am a down-to-earth, free-spirited woman who seeks a man of similar qualities. I love life and often experience it to the fullest. In fact, I enjoy time with friends, as well as many indoor and outdoor activities, but prefer giving one-on-one attention. MsBarDee, 49, l LIGHTNESS AND LAUGHTER While we can navigate the days solo, there is more joy when we are beside someone who can get us to smile spontaneously and giggle on occasion. I am seeking a partner who is as willing to go adventuring on foot, bike, board, car or plane as he is to lay in bed drinking great coffee and doing the crossword. SoloTandem, 46, l LIVING LIFE! Camping, downtown, thrift stores, museums, local restaurants, antique shops, hiking with my dogs, gardening.

Kindness, recycling, happiness, live music, dancing, picnics, downsizing.

Acadia, Lake Champlain, White Mountains, the ocean. If you are happy with the current administration, do not contact me. I am not a tRump supporter and never will be. Thank you. Mefdeer, 57, l

NEW GIRL IN TOWN Am busy setting up the next chapter of my life. A fit, vibrant, independent, educated skier/hiker/snowshoer/ runner who loves travel, art, books, gardening. A new part-time Vermonter exploring my new hometown(s).

Would love to share a local beverage and find out about you — especially if you have gained wisdom from hard work, heartbreak and having lived an interesting life. MoycaNewell, 60, l

FEISTY YOGA GIRL EXPANDING CONNECTIONS I am hesitantly reentering the dating world. Looking for a patient, kind, humorous and fun-loving companion to enjoy movies, music, walks and bike rides. FlannelGirl, 62, l KIND, WARM, FRIENDLY Sometimes quiet, sometimes bubbly.

Enjoying life on the sunny side of the street. My life is full and happy already. The only improvement would be male company for dancing, swimming, movies, etc. Filling out profiles is not one of my strengths, so let’s give conversation a try.

SunnySideOfTheStreet, 60, l CAN-DO GRANDMA Love to meet someone who can think outside the box: develop plans, resolve problems, laugh out loud, dance like an animal, get small when others are trying to be large, and large when others can only be small, be careful with his words, be smokin’ hot when working and be feverish when naked. Why? Because I am. resilientvter, 63, l FUN AND FROLICKING I am a pretty straightforward person.

Still got some good miles left. Desire a ride-along for fun-filled adventures.

Must be warm and sincere, honest and brave, a great kisser with a sense of humor, interested in adventure and love and happiness. P.S.: Must like dogs, good conversation and ol’ rock ‘n’ roll. Deplorables, 62, l LOOKING FOR A MATURE WOMAN Friendship and sex — a lot of sex. toung4u, 61 COUNTRY GENTLEMAN SEEKS HOT BABE OK, might as well get the worst out first: I live in a 25-y/o house on 10 wooded acres with my four horses and a great Fane dog — or a fifth horse, depending on how you look at it — in Derby, Vt. Cooking with you, walking, kayaking. As someone once said, what have you got to lose? robvt123, 67, l HIGH-TECH REDNECK 40-y/o college-educated, businessowning country boy from northern Vermont. Well cultured and speak French. When I choose a mate, I am monogamous. I respect honesty even if it is not what I want to hear. I am really looking for a good girl to be my companion. I hope you are looking for the same. VT_Redneck, 40, l LIBERAL, KIND, COMPASSIONATE, QUIET, GENTLE Hi. I’m just an average guy seeking a kind, compassionate lady to spend time with and see what develops. Retired early at 62 to care for my wife full time for the last two years of her life. I include that statement only because it says the most about me, in the least amount of words. ringo1952, 66, l JUST WANT OCCASIONAL FUN I’m interested in a juicy clam or two.

BEST WHEN THE LAKE QUIET Honestly, I am not really fond of people.

I like hoisting sail. I walk a lot. I’d like finding a top who doesn’t want to get paid for the few times a month that I’d like to play with a penis. I prefer bareback penetration but would be willing to do a BJ in a car. Sometimes it gets complicated. LakeDweller, 67, l

PREGNANT BRUNETTE ON CHURCH ST. You were very pregnant and glowing outside OGE last week. I didn’t see a ring but still felt presumptuous, so I didn’t introduce myself. If you’re going this alone, any interest?

When: Friday, August 10, 2018.

Where: Church St., Burlington.

You: Woman. Me: Man. #914484 ADDICTED TO PANERA BREAD You had on a tiger/jungle-print top, and you almost got into the same wrong car that I had almost gotten into. We both find ourselves uncontrollably drawn to the Broccoli Cheddar Bread Bowl. Really, what are they putting in those things? We did come up with a solid business idea before you pulled away, though. Still interested? Let me know. When: Monday, August 13, 2018.

Where: Panera Bread, Shelburne Rd. You: Woman. Me: Man. #914483 RE: FREQUENT ENCOUNTERS Are you still wondering? A hint for a location? When: Monday, August 13, 2018. Where: I-Spy. You: Woman. Me: Man. #914482 LOW-KEY OPTIMIST Dark hair and white sweater ... and you look at I-Spy first. Curiosity abounds. When: Sunday, August 12, 2018. Where: Personals. You: Woman. Me: Man. #914481 CHEST TATTOO, WORKS AT HARBOR VIEW, DRINKING Well, you caught my eye, and we talked for a few. I’m at that same spot every Wednesday, 2 p.m. Never asked your name. You said you worked at Harbor View as a nurse. If anyone knows her name, please help. I hope your day went well and you enjoyed your drinks.

You wore your ink well. Beautiful chest ink. When: Wednesday, August 8, 2018. Where: lakefront, Burlington.

You: Woman. Me: Man. #914480

DATING APP SWIPE MISTAKE Saw you on Hinge; you liked my profile.

I believe your name was Sam, and you had some photos of yourself rock climbing. I was excited because you seemed genuinely interesting and attractive. But then I pressed the X by accident, and you were gone forever.

I’m a brunette with short hair and glasses. Hopefully you see this! When: Friday, July 27, 2018. Where: Hinge.

You: Man. Me: Woman. #914479 BIKE TOURING? At State and Main. Your panniers are lovely; your smile is, too. I was driving by and gave you an extra-long smile as I turned the corner. I hope you don’t live too far away. Would love to go riding sometime. When: Friday, August 10, 2018. Where: downtown Montpelier.

You: Man. Me: Woman. #914478 IT’S IN THE EYES I enjoy our short meetings more than you could ever imagine. I miss you when you leave, or when I leave. I feel safe when you are near, and I trust you with my everything ... Scary. Obviously my heart is in trouble. You once told me it’s all in the eyes. If that is so, this is not a surprise. When: Tuesday, August 7, 2018. Where: around.

You: Man. Me: Woman. #914476 SUNDAY, BLUEBERRY LAKE Beautiful blonde with black bikini! Blue Subaru with SUP boards. Savasana with me?! When: Sunday, August 5, 2018. Where: Blueberry Lake.

You: Woman. Me: Man. #914473 ERIN, THE CUTE GNC GIRL Just wanted to say thanks again for your help today. :) Hopefully I’ll see you next time! —That grateful guy. When: Saturday, August 4, 2018. Where: a GNC store. You: Woman. Me: Man. #914472 FALLING HARD FOR YOU You were the cute sandwich boy. I was the girl in the black dress. You made me a delicious spinach melt and were patient when my card wasn’t working.

Standing up to leave, I tripped on my dress and made a weird sound.

You could say I fell for you. Another chance (and another spinach melt) sometime? When: Friday, August 3, 2018. Where: Red Onion Café, Church Street. You: Man. Me: Woman. #914471 TORTILL-Y EMBARRASSED IN CITY MARKET You saved me from myself when I awkwardly asked a non-employee where I could find tortillas. “Aisle 2,” you said, dreamily. Quesadillas sometime? When: Thursday, July 26, 2018. Where: City Market South End. You: Man. Me: Woman. #914470 MONTPELIER TOY STORE SIGHTING Montpelier toy store admirer: There are many sexy, witty, intelligent women working here. You may have to narrow it down for us. Curiosity is killing these felines! When: Friday, July 27, 2018. Where: Montpelier.

You: Man. Me: Woman. #914462

MONTPELIER TOY STORE GODDESSES I understand your curiosity, but I won’t give it up that easily. You are also right regarding the numerous beautiful, intelligent, witty women each possessing a unique and extremely attractive quality or qualities. I am hoping some of those qualities overlap.

The thought of you sharing a love for fun and adventure sends my mind into overdrive. When: Tuesday, July 31, 2018. Where: Montpelier toy store.

You: Woman. Me: Man. #914469 BEST HEADBANGER Saw you see me at that concert. Long beard, tight vest. You put out an iSpy for me. Can hardly believe it’s been four months of adventures. Leinenkugel’s, mountains, lakes, music, magic. If I’m the Valkyrie, I’ll follow you into the dark; gotta make sure you make it safely to Valhalla. Thank you for all the things. Miss you. When: Monday, March 19, 2018. Where: Higher Ground.

You: Man. Me: Woman. #914468 CITIZEN CIDER I came in late with friends who were visiting. You were our server. I appreciated your sarcasm and patience.

I was wearing a white button-down with umbrellas on it. I asked your name. I think you’re hilarious and would love to see you again if you’re up for it. By the way, the water store is closed. When: Sunday, July 29, 2018. Where: Citizen Cider. You: Woman. Me: Man. #914467 STAMPEDE IN BRISTOL We first saw each other at the silent auction, then the next tent. I left when you and your kid on a kids’ trike were leaving. You stopped. I passed you in my wheelchair, and you mentioned to your kid to follow him. I wanted to tell you how beautiful you were, but I am a little shy. When: Saturday, July 28, 2018. Where: Bristol Stampede.

You: Woman. Me: Man. #914466 REWIND TO RED HEN I was walking in from the parking lot when I noticed you from behind ... only you were walking backward. I was quick enough to make a halfwitted comment about the direction you were headed and was rewarded with your natural beauty and sense of humor. Are you available to share a coffee and conversation? When: Wednesday, July 25, 2018. Where: Red Hen. You: Woman. Me: Man. #914465 BEAUTIFUL BRUNETTE WOMAN We literally ran into each other in the cafeteria at the UVM Medical Center.

Beautiful brunette/brown-eyed woman with the sweetest smile. For a moment, my heart stopped. You spilled a little water on me and were shy and embarrassed. If you happen to see this ad, I would be thrilled if you would join me for a coffee sometime. When: Friday, July 27, 2018. Where: medical center.

You: Woman. Me: Man. #914464

SCARLETTLETTERS Dear Scarlett,

I have been seeing a guy for six months, and we started sleeping with each other about two months ago. I did not have my period any of the times we had sex. But at some point I will, and I am not sure what to do. Is it OK to have sex while on your period?

Is it safe? What if he is grossed out?

Signed,

Code Red (female, 19)

Dear Code Red,

It is more than OK to have sex during your period.

There is no shame in that game, and while it can be messy, it’s definitely safe. Some women say they feel hornier during that time and even prefer period sex. For starters, they don’t have to avoid sex for one week out of every month!

During an orgasm, the muscles of a woman’s uterus contract, then release, which can relieve menstrual cramps. That contracting can also help shed the lining of your uterus, so your periods may be shorter. Plus, climaxing increases blood flow and the release of endorphins, which make you feel great more generally.

The downside, of course, is that many women feel yucky during their periods — from sore breasts, cramps, headaches, bloating and so on. And the discharge might make you feel self-conscious or alarm your partner. Sometimes there is no mess at all, however, especially toward the end of your period.

As for safety, make sure to remove your tampon and use a condom — not only to reduce your risk of catching a sexually transmitted infection, but also to prevent unwanted pregnancy. Though the odds are low, it is possible to get pregnant when you are menstruating.

As with most relationship hurdles, talk about this in advance and prepare. Make sure your guy is OK with the idea and doesn’t pass out at the sight of blood. If you decide to go for it, put a towel down and keep wet wipes bedside for cleanup. You can also have sex in the shower. Or use a menstrual disc, such as FLEX, which is worn around the cervix and doesn’t plug the vaginal canal like a tampon does.

Have fun, and let your love flow!

Signed,

Scarlett

TALL GLASS OF WATER; I’M THIRSTY I saw you in the park by the school playing Frisbee with your dad (?). Only you could pull off the blue shirt with the skiing squirrel on it; it captures your adventurous spirit. I’m obsessed with English sheepdogs and would love to know yours better! Get some food with me soon? I’m gluten-free; hope that’s not a problem. :) When: Wednesday, June 27, 2018. Where: Calahan Park.

You: Man. Me: Woman. #914463
