Minter v. Scott

aterbury Democrat SUE will face Berlin Republican PHIL SCOTT this November in the race to become Vermont’s 82nd governor. Both candidates faced tough competition in Tuesday’s primary election, but both emerged with convincing wins. Incomplete results late Tuesday showed Minter, a former transportation secretary, winning the Democratic nod with 50 percent of the vote. Former state senator MATT DUNNE fell short in his third bid for statewide office, taking 36 percent. And former ambassador PETER GALBRAITH came in a distant third with just 9 percent. “We did this,” Minter said as she greeted supporters Tuesday night at Burlington’s Main Street Landing. After hugging family members and former governor MADELEINE KUNIN — the first and, thus far, only woman elected to the office in Vermont — Minter previewed the message she will send in her race against a cautious moderate. “All I know is that we have a great state. Vermont has never stopped being great,” she said. “And we do not need to slow down. We need to charge forward to the future!” Scott, the lieutenant governor, easily dispatched retired Wall Street banker BRUCE LISMAN 60 percent to 39 percent though Lisman outspent him 3-to-1. Scott’s top supporters expressed nervousness in recent days that Lisman’s hard-hitting advertisements had tightened the race, but in the end it wasn’t even close. After his mother, MARIAN SCOTT, introduced him to supporters at Barre’s Vermont Granite Museum, the lieutenant governor delivered a withering assault on Lisman’s campaign tactics. “Tonight we can say with certainty that this campaign settles an important debate: Negative campaigns don’t work in Vermont,” Scott said. “No matter who you are, no matter how much you spend, the high road leads to victory.” Turning to his general election matchup against Minter, Scott said he hoped to make it “an exchange of ideas and not an exchange of attacks.” Dunne, who ran a spirited race but faltered in its final weeks, told supporters at Burlington’s Arts Riot that he was proud to have empowered and inspired his youngest campaign workers. He said he was “certainly going to work hard to MINTER

The Tab It’s too soon to say just how much Vermont’s gubernatorial primary cost, but one thing’s for certain: It was the most expensive in state history. A Seven Days analysis of available campaign finance data shows that the candidates themselves spent more than $4.9 million seeking their parties’ nominations. That includes all expenditures made before July 15, but only mass media — television, radio, print, internet and phones — since then. The final tally will likely be quite a bit higher. Nor does that $4.9 million figure count outside spending on the race. In the past week, Vermont has seen an

This race also featured five millionaires, three of whom spent gobs of money on their own campaigns: Lisman, Galbraith and Dunne. The last one of those was a bit of a surprise. At a May press conference, Dunne promised he wouldn’t self-fund and called on his opponents to do the same. But last Tuesday and Wednesday, he loaned his campaign $95,000. Then there’s Citizens United, the 2010 U.S Supreme Court case that opened the floodgates to money in politics — and led to the rise of super PACs, which can raise and spend as much as they like. According to Burns, even “the fear of the super PAC — real or imagined” — has prompted candidates to raise more money on their own. In this race, fear turned into reality. Starting last Wednesday, a super PAC founded by retired Vermont lobbyist BOB SHERMAN and funded largely by EMILY’s List pumped more than $124,000 into pro-Minter advertising. The next day, LinkedIn and PayPal founder REID HOFFMAN spent $220,000 on pro-Dunne ads. Later Thursday, a super PAC financed by Lisman’s former Bear Stearns colleagues dropped $27,000 on his election. The only other time a super PAC has spent so much on a Vermont primary was in 2012, when the Democratic Attorneys General Association plowed $200,000 into ads designed to save Sorrell from Donovan, who challenged him that year. Consider this primary a preview of coming attractions. Now that the general election has begun, you can expect major national organizations to get involved. The Democratic Governors Association and Republican Governors Association have already established Vermont-based super PACs. And if 2010 was any indication, they could each spend millions. Then there are all the other races on the ballot. Whether or not Milne gains traction in his quest for a U.S. Senate seat, you can be sure that Leahy will break the bank. Because, you know, that’s what Leahy does. Given the national trend, Burns says, Vermont’s move toward big-money politics shouldn’t be surprising. “But it’s still a shock to people who think Vermont is a little bit different and we’re not going to be that way,” he says. “It turns out we are not immune to the same tactics that work in other places — and those tactics cost real dollars.” m

unprecedented influx of direct expenditures from super PACs and a Silicon Valley billionaire. Collectively, they put up more than $371,000 in six short days. “We’re in the dawning of a new era in campaign finance,” says Secretary of State JIM CONDOS. To be sure, Vermont has seen more expensive contests — in the general election. Take, for example, the $13.5 million Sanders (I-Vt.) and Republican businessman RICH TARRANT collectively spent on their 2006 cage match. But never before has a Vermont gubernatorial primary cost so much. Just six years ago, when Vermont saw its last competitive race for an open governor’s seat, the five major Democrats spent a combined $1.8 million. The biggest spender, third-place finisher DEB MARKOWITZ, doled out nearly $631,000, while second-place finisher DOUG RACINE spent just $246,000. (The winner, Shumlin, dropped $565,000.) “It sounds almost quaint, and it was just six years ago,” says Vermont Public Interest Research Group executive director PAUL BURNS. This year, Dunne and Minter likely both exceeded the million-dollar mark. Even discounting the final three weeks of non-media expenditures, Dunne had spent at least $956,000 and Minter $910,000. Even the comparative pittance Galbraith put up, $309,000, topped Racine’s 2010 total. And then there are the Republicans. Lisman, who largely self-funded his campaign, spent more than $2 million — including more than $876,000 on mass media alone. Scott spent far less during his warm-up laps — just $467,000 before last month. But in the final weeks of the race, he revved his engines and ended up dropping more than $686,000 total. What made the race so expensive? For one thing, both Democrats and Republicans had competitive contests — unlike in 2010, when then-lieutenant governor BRIAN DUBIE had the GOP field to himself. It also started unusually early: when Shumlin announced in June 2015 that he wouldn’t seek a fourth term. Within a month of that announcement, Dunne had already collected $134,000. Just as important: In January 2014, the legislature voted to double the amount that individuals, corporations and PACs could donate directly to statewide candidates — from $2,000 to $4,000 apiece. According to a database kept by the Secretary of State’s Office, those who donated between $2,001 and $4,000 this cycle account for $1.1 million in contributions.

ate Friday afternoon, Rutland Herald owner R. John Mitchell fired news editor Alan Keays for holding accountable one of the community’s most powerful institutions: the newspaper itself. After publishing a piece in that morning’s paper about the company’s inability to pay its own employees, Keays had informed Mitchell and publisher Catherine Nelson that he was planning a follow-up for Saturday’s edition. “[Mitchell] said there wouldn’t be another story. I said there would be,” Keays later recounted. “And eventually it got to the point where I was fired.” The 46-year-old editor, who had spent most of two decades at the paper, left the meeting and exited the Herald’s downtown Rutland headquarters. “People asked if [Mitchell] had fired him, and he nodded his head and walked out,” education reporter Lola Duffort said moments later in a tearful phone call to Seven Days. “The entire newsroom is walking out,” she reported. “The paginators are leaving. The editors are leaving. I don’t know how many people are going to stick around, but I don’t think a paper’s coming out tomorrow.” After commiserating with their former boss in the Herald’s parking lot, staffers returned to their desks and put Saturday’s paper to bed. But the damage had already been done. The follow-up story for which Keays had been fired had been spiked. And when readers opened their papers the next morning, they found not a word about the turmoil that had wracked the venerable institution. “It’s a shame the state’s oldest newspaper — a Pulitzer Prize winner — has been run into the ground by mismanagement, with the excuse that ‘times are hard for newspapers,’” said one staffer on hand for Keays’ departure. Tensions at the Herald and its sister paper, the Barre-Montpelier Times Argus, have been simmering for years. Faced with declining advertising revenue and shrinking circulation, the oncedominant Vermont newspaper company has ordered several rounds of layoffs and retreated from its strongholds in Windham and Bennington counties. Its problems were compounded in May 2011, when a flood inundated its Barre printing press. Insurance covered

less than a quarter of the $4.5 million in damages. In a bid to save the papers and forestall further layoffs, Mitchell announced in June that the Herald and Times Argus would no longer publish print editions on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays. “We’ve cut, I think, all the jobs we can without really decimating the newsroom,” he explained at the time. “This is an attempt to keep from having dramatic layoffs in the newsroom and to try and monetize the technical base we’ve built for social media.” Whether it would work wasn’t immediately clear. Eliminating print editions can save serious money in the short term, according to Rick Edmonds, a media business analyst for the nonprofit Poynter Institute, but it’s not a “proven strategy” for long-term success. “There are pros and cons,” he said. “I don’t think there’s a real established record that this saves papers.” As the company has floundered, its top brass have kept employees in the dark, they say.

“Management has always operated in secret, never sharing details of policy or decisions with staff,” said a second employee. “The effect of that atmosphere has been a consistent sense of unease — not to say paranoia — among staff, low morale, high anxiety, cynicism and rampant rumors.” Case in point: When Mitchell announced last December that Nelson would succeed him as publisher, he kept from his own reporters the news that she had been cited two days earlier for driving under the influence and leaving the scene of an accident. Keays said at the time that he learned about Nelson’s crash not from his bosses, but from an “off-the-record tip.” The Herald reported the story, but not before VTDigger.org scooped the paper. Employee discontent boiled over last week when management refused to explain why they weren’t being compensated in a timely fashion. As Seven Days reported last Wednesday, writers weren’t being reimbursed for expenditures and freelancers weren’t getting paid at all.

According to Keays, he and his reporters first considered writing about the paper’s problems early last week. They pulled the trigger last Thursday after learning by email that they wouldn’t receive their pay that week via direct deposit. Instead, they would have to pick up physical checks a day later than normal. “I thought it was important that we do a story,” Keays explained. “I think because we’re going to hold other institutions and entities to a standard, we need to meet that standard ourselves.” On Friday morning, the story appeared on the front pages of both the Herald and the Times Argus. The piece, written by Rutland City reporter Gordon Dritschilo, was tough but fair. It quoted five staffers and freelancers by name, some of whom described bounced pay and reimbursement checks. Keays gave Nelson a heads-up that the story was coming, he said, and was not told to desist. That changed Friday when Keays and his staff began planning a follow-up story.

Dumont said it’s also possible that the PSB won’t address all of his objections when it issues its ruling. If that’s the case, his clients could choose to bring one particular argument to superior court. “I think it’s only just beginning,” said Rachel Smolker, one of the resident “intervenors” Dumont represents. If the PSB rules against the residents, she wants to appeal. Asked about the implications of the delay that could cause, Rendall responded, “I’m not going to talk about hypotheticals.” Pressed further, he said, “It will certainly be a challenge for us if our ability to complete our work under the park is significantly delayed.” During the hearing, Vermont Gas vice president Eileen Simollardes said that if the company had to reroute the pipeline around the wetlands in Geprags, it could take more than a year to obtain easement rights and resolve other issues along a new route. Should Vermont Gas manage to complete all 41 miles of pipeline by the end of the year, it won’t mark the end of the fight for Smolker and others. “Even if it was all in the ground, it would still be very worthwhile to halt it,” she said, suggesting that they could still try to prevent the company from using the pipeline. She suspects Vermont Gas — or other energy companies — will want to utilize the pipeline corridor to transport fossil fuels through Vermont to larger markets. “This corridor is very likely in the future to grow and become a huge massive superhighway of energy,” she said. Proposed in December 2012, the pipeline has encountered pushback at practically every step — from the climate change

he setting was drab: a cramped room attached to a warehouse filled with boxes of paper and filing cabinets. And the arguments about drilling technology, mowing plans and legal minutia were often tedious. Yet the Public Service Board hearing last Thursday turned out to be high drama. The three appointed arbiters — Margaret Cheney, James Volz and Sarah Hofmann — slipped in from the warehouse and sat behind a table at the front of the room. The space could only accommodate a fraction of the attendees. A Department of Public Service attorney, Louise Porter, turned around to take stock of the reporters behind her. “I didn’t know there were this many news organizations in Vermont,” she said. Outside, protesters lay sprawled out on the blacktop, their bodies cloaked in white sheets and faces painted a chalky white. At least five cops stood by during this “die-in” intended to symbolize the casualties of climate change. The occasion? Vermont Gas Systems was seeking permission to use eminent domain in Hinesburg’s Geprags Community Park. It’s the final right-ofway the utility needs in order to complete its 41-mile natural gas pipeline from Colchester to Middlebury. “This is the last piece of the puzzle in our effort to being able to complete the pipeline,” Vermont Gas president Don Rendall said after the hearing. But even if the PSB rules in the company’s favor, the battle likely isn’t over. People fighting the pipeline aren’t ready to concede that this decision marks the end. At the close of Thursday’s hearing, VGS attorney William Dodge asked that the PSB decide the park issue in September. He also requested that it shorten the subsequent window for either party to ask the board to reconsider from 10 days to two. “What we’re worried about is we’re running out of daylight to construct the project,” he said. “I don’t think we’re going to agree to that,” said Jim Dumont, an attorney representing Hinesburg residents fighting the eminent domain request, during an interview Friday. He noted that the ability to ask for reconsideration could be key if the PSB makes a decision using an unexpected line of reasoning. Asked if the company could face further legal challenges, Dumont responded, “Oh yes, I think it’s likely.” After the reconsideration period, parties have 30 days to appeal the whole decision to the Vermont Supreme Court.

activists who have chained themselves to construction equipment to the landowners who refused to cede their ground to the gas company. The cost of the project has skyrocketed — from $86 million to $165 million, according to information Vermont Gas filed with the Department of Public Service in June. Much of the media attention has focused on the protesters camping out in trees and locking themselves to backhoes. But despite the human obstacles, Vermont Gas has quietly been making progress. It installed 11 miles of pipeline last year, Rendall said. This summer, roughly 250 construction workers are putting in pipe in Williston, Hinesburg, Monkton and New Haven. They’ve finished several miles so

far, and “many more are nearing completion,” according to Rendall. He said the entire pipeline is now under construction — except the 2,000 feet through Geprags — and he expects it will be finished this year. The company recently struck deals with two of the last holdout landowners — in one case, because a woman died, allowing Vermont Gas to negotiate with her heirs. Vermont Gas has now secured rightsof-way from 162 of 163 property owners in the pipeline’s path — a feat that cost it about $15.6 million. Negotiating with the 163rd landowner — the Town of Hinesburg — has been harder than expected. Vermont Gas officials thought they had an agreement with the selectboard, but residents forcefully

failed to adequately explore alternative routes that would bypass the park. And he questioned whether the selectboard even had the authority to enter into such an agreement without going to court. Finally, he argued that Vermont Supreme Court ALICIA FREESE

PEOPLE FIGHTING THE PIPELINE AREN’T READY TO CONCEDE THAT THIS DECISION MARKS THE END. precedent precluded utilities from using eminent domain to seize land already serving a public interest. It’s still unclear when the board will determine whether his arguments have merit. Regardless of the outcome, opponents are keenly aware that the Public Service Board might make other pipeline decisions down the road. Vermont Gas originally envisioned a three-part project: this one from Colchester

to Middlebury; a second-phase pipeline under Lake Champlain to the International Paper mill in Ticonderoga, N.Y.; and finally, a third phase extending the Middlebury line to Rutland. International Paper was going to help pay for the underwater construction, and when it backed out of the deal in 2015, Vermont Gas stopped pursuing the second phase and put the Rutland link on indefinite hold. Rendall wouldn’t say last Friday whether Vermont Gas was still planning to extend the pipeline to Rutland. “We look forward to having the discussion with all of our stakeholders about the future when this project is finished. Right now we’re focused on finishing what we started.” Asked if his staff is actively exploring plans for a pipeline to Rutland, Rendall replied, “It has taken all of our excellent resources … to focus on completing this project in a safe and timely and cost-effective way.” Members of the Rutland Area Climate Coalition, formed in 2014 by locals opposed to the Keystone XL Pipeline, aren’t waiting around for a more definitive answer. “In an effort to be preemptive about that, we have been trying to forewarn landowners between Middlebury and Rutland that they could be in the path of a potential pipeline,” said member Beth Thompson. They’ve sent letters to residents in Leicester, Salisbury, Brandon, Pittsford, Proctor and West Rutland, and gone doorto-door to follow up. Thompson said they’re encouraging people to file no-trespass notices against Vermont Gas to prevent the company from scoping out their properties. “What we’ve got here is a larger demographic than you think that’s opposed to this pipeline,” she said. Another anti-pipeline activist, Mary Martin, is proof of that assertion. The

Cornwall resident didn’t believe in climate change when she first started fighting the pipeline several years ago. The pipeline would have gone through her property if Vermont Gas hadn’t ditched phase two. By the time that happened, Martin had already been converted to the climate-change cause; since then, she’s continued to fight the pipeline for environmental, rather than personal, reasons. “I guess I have Vermont Gas to thank for that,” she said. In addition to bolstering the ranks of pipeline opponents, the current project may have other aftereffects. It’s been a public relations nightmare for Vermont Gas, and the reputations of the PSB and the Department of Public Service have suffered. Pipeline opponents routinely assert that the regulatory process has been “rigged.” A wider range of people, including elected officials, expressed dismay when the PSB attempted to prevent the public from attending the Geprags hearing. That prompted Lisa Barrett, a retired attorney from Huntington with no pipeline-protesting history, to take the board to court for violating her First Amendment rights. After a federal judge ordered that the hearing should be open, the PSB attracted more ire by announcing that the room it had reserved had space for just six members of the public and seven members of the media. At the start of the meeting last Thursday, Barrett stood up and asked the PSB to move to a larger venue, but her request went unacknowledged. Martin had left home at 5:30 a.m. — in a recently purchased Prius — to wait in line for one of the six spots. She made it in. “My husband calls me Pollyanna,” she acknowledged. But, she said, “I don’t think it’s the end.” m Contact: alicia@sevendaysvt.com

objected last February, alleging that the board had violated Vermont open meetings law by making the pact behind closed doors. In response, the selectboard retracted its agreement with Vermont Gas and voted 3-2 last month for one with better terms. Vermont Gas would use horizontal directional drilling, instead of digging a trench, to protect the park’s wetlands. Sweetening the deal, it would pay $250,000 for easement rights and provide natural gas to 100 or so trailer park residents in Hinesburg. But Vermont law prohibits the selectboard from simply signing over those easement rights. Two sisters bequeathed the parkland to the town on the condition that it be used for recreation or education. That’s why Vermont Gas is seeking PSB approval to take it through eminent domain. Seven Hinesburg residents are challenging that approach. While opponents are concerned about the impact on Geprags, many, including at least some of the intervenors, also see this as a strategy to stop the pipeline. Vermont Gas attorneys twice attempted to convince the PSB to revoke the group’s intervenor status, which allows them to make their case before the board. When that failed, they tried without success at the start of last Thursday’s hearing to persuade the board to throw out nearly all the intervenors’ arguments as irrelevant. In the hot, crowded and sometimes tense warehouse room, Dumont, who has represented other pipeline opponents, presented his multipronged case in meticulous detail over the course of six hours. He questioned whether the selectboard’s agreement would truly protect the interests of Hinesburg park users, arguing that drilling, while less intrusive, could still damage the surrounding wetlands. He sought to show that the company had

igh-profile killings of law enforcement officers and citizens have roiled the country and intensified the debate about police relations with minorities. And while Vermont has experienced no tragedies on the order of Dallas, Minneapolis or Baton Rouge, the national debate is having an impact here in ways big and small. Exhibit A is a low-level criminal case from South Burlington, unremarkable except for ending with a surprising twist. It started with a phone call around 10:30 p.m. on May 16. A motorist told police that a man driving a Chevy Malibu erratically had almost run him off the road. South Burlington police officer Dale Crispin pulled over Kareem G. Louard, a 25-year-old African American man from Waterbury on Interstate 89, near the Williston exit. As Crispin began questioning Louard, he smelled marijuana and alcohol. Louard acknowledged that he had smoked marijuana and had a drink before driving, according to an affidavit Crispin later filed in court. As other officers arrived, Crispin handcuffed Louard and arrested him on suspicion of driving under the influence. Back at the South Burlington police station, Louard’s blood alcohol level was tested at 0.09 percent, just over the limit, according to Crispin’s affidavit. But Louard wasn’t supposed to be behind the wheel at all. His license had been suspended after a 2015 driving-under-the-influence conviction, according to court documents. So police charged Louard with DUI and driving with a suspended license. He was held in jail overnight for lack of $750 bail. Seven Days obtained an audio recording of his July 13 hearing in Chittenden Superior Court, during which lawyers told Judge Gregory Rainville that they had reached a plea agreement. Louard had signed off on the deal: He would plead guilty to a misdemeanor charge of negligent operation — a lesser offense than DUI — and driving with a suspended license. He would serve 11 days on a Department of Corrections work crew and pay a $300 fine. According to a legal document and a statement Louard’s lawyer, public

defender Lucas Collins, made in court, a factor in the agreement was that the initial report about erratic driving had been false. Louard had a female passenger, and her jealous ex-husband had spotted them together and sought to cause trouble for Louard. That the agreement was “relatively lenient,” Collins, told Rainville, was justified by his client’s good conduct with police. The traffic stop was tense, Collins told the judge. “My client, to his credit, behaved very well, was very compliant, was polite, did not give them any trouble,” Collins said. “This was a false report from a jealous ex … All things being equal we gave him a little bit of a benefit for behaving well in a [difficult] situation.” All that was left was for Rainville to inform Louard of his rights and to make sure he understood the legal process before accepting the agreement. But Rainville had another idea. “I’m going to dismiss [the charges]

in the interest of justice. You’re done,” Rainville told Louard. He explained: “And here’s why: You’ve been watching the TV. You know what’s going on in the world. And you’re a black man. This could

LAW ENFORCEMENT have gone really bad, really quick if you had gotten your back up about this or gotten upset or just got overly excited. You’d probably have gotten hurt, and they might have as well, and you did everything by the book. And that’s more than a reasonable person could be required to do under the circumstances. So I think you deserve a break here. You’re done.” “Thank you,” Louard said. “Alright,” Rainville said. “Good luck to you.” “You don’t see that every day,” the judge later remarked from the bench.

Rainville’s decision left some local law enforcement officials scratching their heads. “Frankly, I’m befuddled,” South Burlington Police Chief Trevor Whipple said in an interview. “I don’t know where the decision came from, nor how it’s fair and equitable to others in the system. I understand if the judge finds a misstep by our officer, if rights weren’t followed. It’s something I’ve never encountered before and certainly caused confusion for our officer. My response to the officer is simply: Judges make decisions from the bench and we don’t have any control over what a judge does or does not do.” Whipple said he reached out to prosecutors to ask if Crispin had done anything wrong, such as failing to accurately collect evidence or infringing on Louard’s legal rights. “I was assured by the prosecutor’s office that they saw no defects in the case,” Whipple said.

St. Anne’s Shrine in Isle La Motte is my favorite church, and it is nearby.” Last Tuesday, the day of the closing, a relaxedlooking Bernie Sanders posed for a photo at Hero’s Welcome General Store on Route 2. ˜ e store, a bit south of his new abode, serves a “HUGE” $6.99 turkey sandwich called Feel the Bun in the senator’s honor. “It’s not fair that the Billionaire Class controls 99 percent of the bread,” the menu description reads. “Here’s a sandwich for the rest of us … to keep us nourished until everything cool is free!”

˜ e Chittenden County Superior Court has dismissed all 88 criminal counts that the City of Burlington brought against landlord Soon Kwon for allegedly defying its housing code. Burlington City Attorney Eileen Blackwood said she is still deciding whether to appeal. Burlington filed suit last January amid a years-long struggle with Kwon. According to the code enforcement office, he has refused to address roughly 100 violations of the city’s housing code at his four apartment Soon Kwon buildings, despite multiple fines, violation notices and follow-up visits. Kwon has contended that the only violations he hasn’t addressed have been trivial, and he suggested that the city’s code enforcement director, Bill Ward, has a personal grudge against him. Ward denies it. ˜ e alleged violations include broken heating and plumbing systems, blocked emergency exits, mold, and lead paint. ˜ e city didn’t criminally charge Kwon for the violations themselves; it charged him for failing to comply with the code inspector’s orders to remedy those violations. State law allows municipalities to pursue civil or criminal charges against someone for violating the housing code. But Kwon’s attorney, Will Towle, argued that municipalities can only file civil — not criminal — charges for failing to comply with an inspector’s order. ˜ e court agreed.

Al was the youngest child born to Calabrian immigrant Dominic Luigi Perrelli, and Mary Padula of Cicero, Ill. He served in the Paciﬁc as a Lieutenant in the Navy during WWII on the USS Sargent Bay. While on leave during the war, Al married Dorothy Ł omsen, the daughter of the boarding house mother where he took his meals when attending University of Illinois, Normal. Al’s professional life began in the Midwest in Ferndale, Mich., then Hinsdale, Ill., where he was Assistant Superintendent of Schools. After completing his PhD at Teacher’s College, Columbia University, Al launched the family on a lifetime of world travel when he joined a team of educators from TCU, and moved to New Delhi, India in the early ’60s. After three years helping develop curriculum for Indian public schools, he became Director of the American International School in New Delhi. Al also was Director at the International School of Brussels, and in Mandeville, Jamaica. Although his professional career was cut short by health in the early ’80s, Al continued to volunteer in educational enterprises and classrooms, including board membership at the Penn Center in Beaufort, S.C. He once said that when looking back at his career, what mattered most to him would be to know that his life’s work had some positive impact on the educational experience of both students and teachers. Al and Dorothy were married 71 years, and were, as individuals and a couple, a model and inspiration to their family. As a neighbour recently put it, you knew just

Washington National Opera, among a host of major companies. Since 2008, she has represented musicians, singers and dancers through her agency Quarterline Design Management. Jeff specializes in lighting design and is VTOP’s managing director. He has worked at the Kentucky, San Francisco and Washington National operas. Originally from the Rutland area, he has also designed lighting for Vermont’s DORSET THEATRE FESTIVAL and WESTON PLAYHOUSE. Jeff is doing Orpheus’ lighting using equipment donated by the PARAMOUNT THEATRE in Rutland, and he built the economical but effective set. Audiences will access their seats via a long hallway, lined on one side by dusty storage space. About 250 chairs will be set up among the piers. As Seven Days approached a recent rehearsal, the emotion-laden voice of Tinmouth soprano SUZANNE KANTORSKI, who sings Euridice, echoed down the passage.

Kantorski, who has also appeared in Opera Company of Middlebury productions, stood on a spiraling path made of irregular wooden planks that sweeps around the floor and then tilts upward, ending in a surreally vertical position halfway up a pier. It’s a perfect visual representation of the plot of the Orpheus myth, whose protagonist, a lute player, must lead his beloved Euridice out of Hades without looking back at her. This he fails to do, losing her forever. In New York City-based composer Gordon’s version, Orpheus is a clarinetist whose voice is his instrument; he acts out the part while playing. Euridice doubles as narrator, and four dancers — a kind of Greek chorus of Furies — elaborate the story as she sings it. Instead of being killed by an asp, as in the myth, this Euridice fades away incrementally. Gordon wrote the libretto in a flash one night in 1995, as his partner was dying of AIDS.

THE EMPTY ROOM IS A PERFECT SPOT FOR

EVOKING THE DESPAIR AND DESPERATION OF A DESCENT INTO HADES.

f not for its bucolic surroundings, the cavernous small-monuments room at the VERMONT MARBLE MUSEUM in Proctor might be mistaken for an abandoned urban industrial plant. A grid of worn lumber piers supports a high ceiling. A grappling hook hangs from elevated tracks once used to roll huge blocks of marble from one carving station to the next. A bank of mullioned windows in various states of disrepair runs the length of one wall. White paint crumbles from every surface. The empty room is a perfect spot, in other words, for evoking the dismay and desperation of a descent into Hades. That’s what QUINCY and JEFF BRUCKERHOFF had in mind when they decided to stage Ricky Ian Gordon’s contemporary opera Orpheus and Euridice there. The hourlong opera, which premiered in 2005, will receive two performances in the former manufacturing space this weekend. Actually, when the Bruckerhoffs founded the VERMONT OPERA PROJECT out of their Clarendon Springs home 18 months ago, they envisioned staging their first production in the museum’s disused quarry. Later, when realities such as the possibility of rain set in, they opted for the gritty interior of the small-monuments room. It may be the most interesting opera venue ever used in Vermont. The Bruckerhoffs, who moved to the Rutland area from Washington, D.C., with their two children in 2011, are clearly fearless. For one thing, new opera companies in Vermont are a gamble. While the OPERA COMPANY OF MIDDLEBURY is doing well, the ghosts of the Burlingtonbased company f y d o (Fresh Young Dynamic Opera) and the more recently discontinued Green Mountain Opera Festival still roam. Even the children’s company, OPERA THEATRE OF WESTON, is in “limbo,” according to its directors. Asked during a phone call why the Bruckerhoffs wanted to start a new opera company in Vermont, Quincy jokes, “Besides that we’re, like, slightly insane?” That, and they have significant combined experience in the theater and opera worlds. Quincy, who is VTOP’s general director, trained in voice but began stage managing after college, after discovering she had stage fright. She worked at Sarasota Opera and

a song cycle for soprano, clarinet and piano, the work included eight dancers at its 2005 premiere, at the Rose Theater at Lincoln Center as part of the “Great Performers” and “American Songbook” series. A New York Magazine reviewer called the performance “magical.” A 2008 performance by Long Beach Opera, which can be viewed on YouTube, was staged in an indoor pool with Orpheus standing in a floating dinghy. When WESLEY CHRISTENSEN, who plays Orpheus, saw that last version, he “thought it was pretty crazy,” he says by phone. But the Waterbury clarinetist has since embraced his role, which entails interacting with the dancers while playing his instrument. “In one scene, I’m lying down and playing, then jumping up on blocks. You’re not playing a concerto standing in one spot on the stage,” he says — as he’s done with the CHAMPLAIN PHILHARMONIC. Christensen, an insurance salesman by day, has also played with numerous Vermont orchestras and teaches at the MONTEVERDI MUSIC SCHOOL. A string quintet sourced from the VERMONT SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA will accompany performances. Christensen judges the music “very lyrical even though it’s modern,” with echoes of Leonard Bernstein and Aaron Copland. The award-winning Gordon has written operas for Stephanie Blythe (27, about Gertrude Stein) and Frederica von Stade (A Coffin in Egypt), and has also composed for Nathan Lane, Kelli O’Hara and other Broadway stars. VTOP will reprise Orpheus in another interesting venue on September 10 and 11: the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., which is underwriting those performances. Local opera buffs can look forward to more than just Orpheus and Euridice. VTOP’s stated mission is to stage sitespecific productions of new and rarely performed operas — including, eventually, William Bolcom’s A View From the Bridge, a major work involving multiple soloists, a chorus and an orchestra. Perhaps a covered bridge for that one? m Contact: lilly@sevendaysvt.com

Additional funds will support new Weston programs, including an annual artists’ retreat. With the expanded facility, the Playhouse is also looking to fi l community needs. Adding a second stage will allow the company better to serve local schools with scholastic productions and curricula, among other things. The alker farmstead was a dairy farm for more than a century, owned and operated by the Walker family. Gladys Walker was one of the founding performers at the Playhouse when it opened its doors in 1937. In those Great Depression years, the theater served as a muchneeded community center for the town, according to the Playhouse’s website. The alkers have remained longtime attendees of Playhouse performances, and it seems only fitting that the farms next act is to grow a theater.

Last weekend, the WESTON PLAYHOUSE broke ground on its new state-ofthe-art theater compound on the Walker Farm in Weston Village. The $10 million capital and fundraising campaigns that began in 2007 will add a $6.5 million black-box theater to the company’s main stage. The grounds wi l contain flexible pe formance, rehearsal and community spaces to accommodate the creation of more experimental theater, along with space for administrative offices and a tist housing.

It represents Weston Playhouse’s aim to evolve from a summer-stock regional theater — albeit a highly regarded one — to a “theater arts incubator,” according to the company’s website. The Playhouse already has a robust tradition of supporting new works. Now the goal is for the new Center for the Arts at Walker Farm to become a nationally recognized destination for playwrights, composers, directors and producers to hone their artistic skills, create new works and launch them nationally.

Rokeby Museum Highlights Quaker Craft’s Not-So-Simple Integrity B Y KEV I N J. K ELLE Y

abolitionist family who built Rokeby in 1793, was himself a Quaker and purchased some of Stevens’ products. Among the pieces in “Quaker Made” is a wooden frame for a declaration published by the American Anti-Slavery Society in 1833. Rokeby’s appropriately simple show also presents a few 19thcentury photographs and a sampling of Stevens’ account books and diaries. A bureau he made in 1826 is cited as especially indicative of Stevens’ disdain for fashion, “the most imperious of despotisms,” according to an unnamed Quaker author quoted in a text panel. This cherry-wood piece, with six drawers graduated in size from top to bottom, was modeled on a type of bureau that had become prevalent in Vermont 30 years earlier. “Any customer wishing to avoid the latest fashion would be safe in Stevens’ shop,” notes an accompanying commentary by curator and Rokeby director JANE WILLIAMSON. But, she adds, that customer could acquire “a well-made and handsome piece of furniture.” A hooded cradle serves as a fine example of Stevens’ exacting workmanship. It’s a practical and demonstrably durable object with a visual appeal

based on the absence of ornamentation. The cradle’s design is simple yet not at all simplistic. Its integrity derives from its maker’s uncompromising commitment to his craft. As Williamson observes in a text panel, “To produce inferior work would have troubled Stevens, seeming almost a form of dishonesty.” Not every piece in the show is devoid of flourish. A desk Stevens built in 1820 qualifies, Rokeby’s director writes, as “the most complicated piece of furniture in the museum’s collection.” A swooping base and four oddly shaped feet complement its boldly figured maple top. Similarly, a small trunk made for Ann King, a teacher employed by the Robinsons, is emblazoned with her initials in brass tacks — a 19th-century equivalent of neon signage. For all its conformity to the Quaker credo of plainness, Stevens’ work cannot be regarded as representative of a singular Quaker aesthetic. The style of furniture made by Quaker craftsmen varied from place to place, or meeting to meeting — the sect’s term for its congregations. The Rokeby show includes

a photo of a comparatively rococo piece made in Baltimore by a contemporary of Stevens who was every bit as much a Quaker. Many viewers may identify Stevens’ furniture as Shaker because of its clean lines and austere facture. There are, in fact, strong similarities between his work and that of the Shakers, whose origins lie in the Quaker tradition. The Addison County meeting to which Stevens belonged was quite strict in its interpretation of the Quaker code of behavior and expression. Several congregants were “disowned” — or banished — from that meeting for not fully adhering to its definition of plainness, Williamson notes. Stevens’ obeisance to authority extended to his family life. His aged parents summoned him to return to Montpelier in 1835 to care for them and oversee their business affairs. He complied with their command, although he was “heartbroken” to leave his Monkton workshop, Williamson reports. While Stevens appears not to have excelled as a furniture maker after the move, his irrepressibly creative disposition still manifested itself — in his 1845 patent for a platform scale.

hrough their commitment to dressing plainly and living simply, the Quakers quietly rebuke contemporary America’s blinged-out culture. A corresponding aesthetic of restraint sets Quaker makers far apart from most practitioners in today’s art world, which spins on an axis of extravagance. Crafting austere everyday objects isn’t a recent innovation by the Society of Friends. Quaker designers and builders have been doing it for a long time, as a show at Rokeby Museum in Ferrisburgh reveals. Stephen Foster Stevens (1799-1857), a Quaker furniture maker who worked in Monkton, was producing beautifully simple — and simply beautiful — pieces nearly 200 years ago. A half dozen of them are on display in the Rokeby exhibit titled “Quaker Made: Vermont Furniture, 1820-1835.” Stevens moved to Monkton from his parents’ home in Montpelier because Addison County was the heart of Quaker Vermont in the early 19th century. He found a strong market there for pieces that would not have generated much demand in hipper parts of New England. Thomas Robinson, the patriarch of an

ainter SARAH C. RUTHERFORD has changed the face of Jeffersonville — with two gigantic, regal faces that will surely become the town’s defining works of art. Rutherford, 32, created a twopart mural, “The Silo Project,” on the “canvas” of two old concrete silos beside the roundabout formed by routes 15 and 108. The north silo bears the face of an aging farmer, which Rutherford says honors Vermont’s past. The south silo depicts the face of an 8-year-old child, which represents the state’s present and future. Each silo is 36 feet tall; at 5,000 square feet total, the two comprise the largest outdoor mural in Vermont, Rutherford says. The silos once belonged to the Bell-Gates Lumber Corporation. The south one was originally used as a kiln to dry lumber, while the north silo stored sawdust. The Village of Jeffersonville recently purchased the silos and surrounding land, which is adjacent to the site of its farmers market.

Dear Cecil,

Why do so many Americans dislike Hillary Clinton? It seems to predate her time as secretary of state or even as senator. Does it have something to do with her husband’s two terms in the White House? Jonathan Pearce

n 1964 Barry Goldwater quipped about nuking the Kremlin men’s room and equated Medicare with giving old folks free resort vacations, cigarettes and beer. Just before Lyndon Johnson strolled to victory that November, Gallup found that 46 percent of Americans viewed his Republican opponent unfavorably, with 26 percent of respondents into the “highly unfavorable” camp. For five decades, Goldwater has been the most unpopular major-party presidential candidate ever, a record that some deemed unbreakable. Well, they used to think nobody would ever hit 62 home runs in a season either. By Gallup’s latest reckoning, back in June, exactly half of the American public views Hillary Clinton unfavorably, 33 percent highly so. But Hillary Clinton and mass unpopularity are old pals. The first major attempt to suss out the source of the antipathy, Henry Louis Gates’s “Hating Hillary,” appeared in the New Yorker in 1996 — meaning this idea is now old enough to vote.

What about ethical concerns? Knowing full well the scrutiny they’re under, the Clintons have often seemed oddly unworried about appearing too chummy with big donors to their campaigns and charitable work, and a fog of impropriety clings to Hillary even when specific claims are disproven. Certainly no presidential candidate has faced so much congressional scrutiny immediately prior to an election: Republican-controlled committees have been hammering away at Clinton for three years now, first on Benghazi, then on her usage of email. And that kind of shelling from the opposition is nothing new — in the ’90s, Bill and Hillary Clinton were accused of everything from real-estate shenanigans to outright murder. Hillary might have chosen a less dramatic-sounding phrase to describe the well-financed

while Hillary is cast as a shady crime boss. Back in the ’90s, as the first working woman to serve as first lady, Clinton initially took a lead role in health care policy making but hit massive turbulence from D.C. traditionalists who thought she’d misread her job description. Such paleo-antifeminist rancor — and an accompanying rap as presumptuous and pushy — is something that more recently prominent female politicians, like Elizabeth Warren, have largely been spared. None of this is to make excuses for her — politics is a tough game, and a better operator might have handled things more deftly. As that 1996 New Yorker piece suggests, Hillary’s always just rubbed plenty of people the wrong way. Then again, “Why doesn’t anyone like you?” is a hell of a question for even the savviest politician to field continuously for 25 years. However, friends, we live in wondrous times, and in 2016 Hillary’s not even our least popular presidential candidate. Gallup again: 59 percent of Americans don’t like Donald Trump, including 42 percent who can’t stand him. Fortunately, nobody’s writing in to wonder why — I’d never get it all in a single column.

The thing is, though, Clinton’s popularity numbers have never stayed put. She wrapped up her secretary of state gig in 2013 with a 64 percent favorability rating, and even that wasn’t peak Hillary — in 1998, at the kickoff of Bill’s impeachment, 67 percent of Americans were on her side. Now, we’re a polarized people. A third of Americans will always approve of Hillary Clinton, while another third forever will be ready to holler “Lock her up!” But what’s with that middle that can’t make up its mind? Clinton’s spin on her fluctuating favorability is that she’s a wooden campaigner whose numbers dip during the election cycle but a hard worker who forges her way back into our hearts with her sturdy competence. As she said at the Democratic convention of her career in public service, “The service part has always come easier to me than the public part.” Fine, she’s no natural politician.

And it’s come from both sides: mainstream liberals like the New York Times’ Howell Raines and Maureen Dowd were dogged critics of the Clintons’ ethical lapses, real or perceived. And yet Bill Clinton has emerged from the battles of the past unscathed: As recently as 2014, his favorability polled at 64 percent. Meanwhile Hillary suffers the scorn of a reinvigorated left that’s retroactively critical of her support for her husband’s policies — adopted in the aftermath of the Reagan years, when Democrats were stumbling over each other in their efforts not to appear too liberal. How did Hillary get stuck holding the bag? Let’s not dance around the obvious: Hillary Clinton is a woman. Surely it’s a double standard that allows Bill to seem like a charming rapscallion who just cuts a few corners

id you ever long to be wanted? Pulling up to the intersection of Church and Main late at night on the Brewfest weekend, I was greeted by a small crowd of people, most of whom wanted me. Granted, this was solely because I was piloting an empty taxi, but still, it was a nice feeling. In the pre-Uber era (insert sigh emoji), this was a common occurrence. Nearly every Friday and Saturday night, cabs were at a premium come last call at the bars and clubs. Nowadays, with the Uber-cab infestation (sorry, but they truly descended upon Burlington like biblical locusts), it takes a special event — such as the Vermont Brewers Festival — to swell the taxi demand enough to create shortages. I pine for the old days. Like a ballboy or -girl at a baseball game deciding who in the crowd gets tossed the foul ball, I got to decide which lucky taxi hailer got to take my taxi. I focused on a stocky young man with a tumult of curly red hair and matching beard.

REMAKING MILTON Once the butt of jokes, a Chittenden County town is undergoing a serious transformation

here are plenty of jokes about Chittenden County’s northernmost town. How are tornadoes and divorces similar in Milton? Either way, somebody loses a trailer. Why do seagulls fly upside down over Milton? Because there’s nothing worth shitting on. But while some people have been laughing about it, Milton, Burlington’s boomingest bedroom community, has been remaking itself. Diana Greenough and her husband, Todd, moved to Milton from Essex Junction about eight years ago. Their commute times to Burlington are about the same as they were. “There are more eateries and there’s more stuff to do without having to stay in Burlington after work, or go back to Burlington,” Diana Greenough said of Milton. “You can find whatever you need here.”

Fueled by an increase in population and home prices that are cheaper than in most other Chittenden County towns, Milton is making a play to shed its image as a Burlington backwater. Our team of reporters converged on the town to find out what’s new, what there is to do, what’s changing — and what’s next. Documenting the ups and downs are two young women who helm the Milton Independent, the town’s free weekly newspaper. Courtney Lamdin and Abby Ledoux have seen a place struggling with its identity as new residents flood in, changing the complexion of an old Yankee town.

Along Route 7 — which splits Milton east to west — the town’s industrial appeal is clear. Aesthetically, though, there’s much to be desired. Residents consider the main drag to be a 2.7-mile stretch from the Milton Diner to the dam at the bottom of Arrowhead Mountain Lake. They note with displeasure the number of strip developments, space-clogging storage units and car dealerships occupying that prime real estate.

planning a more cohesive, recognizable downtown that gives people a reason to get out of their cars. The facelift requires attracting a different kind of development — restaurants, breweries and clothing shops. “It’s a hidden tax on everybody in this town to have to go to another town to do that shopping,” said selectboard chair Darren Adams. Asked where the town’s center is, people generally point to the Milton Square plaza, which real estate developer Ernie Pomerleau revamped in 2013. The main tenant is a bustling Hannaford supermarket, but members of the Milton Artists’ Guild localized the parking lot with a towering site-specific stone sculpture. On the other side of the Hannaford, a McDonald’s serves up burgers and fries. A neighboring complex includes a Family Dollar and a Chinese buffet. The town offices are located across Route 7, a short walk away. “Milton is missing the historic downtown that a lot of communities have,” Adams noted. “It’s hard enough to start new business. It’s even harder when you have to build them from the ground up.” But Adams sees an “opportunity to create a new, modern version of

that classic New England downtown.” Officials want to concentrate new commercial development in the downtown business-zoning district, which includes Milton Square and the town offices. The idea of creating a more centralized downtown has been around for decades, but town officials say it is finally gaining momentum. There’s some evidence to back that up, including a $2.4 million project to spruce up Route 7 and plans for a town green. Further, the town began rewriting its zoning regs last year. The effort began in part because people were concerned that residential development was outpacing commercial. One of the goals, according to Adams, is to simplify the zoning permit process. “If it’s easier for you to build here, you are more likely to build here,” reasons Adams. The town also plans to hold developers to a higher standard, in an effort to improve aesthetics. The borders of the downtown business district won’t change much, but what can be built within them will. For example, the revised rules would require developments to be a minimum distance from the road to encourage more green space. The maximum height for buildings would drop from five stories to four. Such standards may deter some developers, but town officials suggest

ourtney Lamdin was at the Milton Veterinary Hospital, just home from a badly needed vacation, when a local resident walked up to her and asked, “Can I talk to you for a minute?” Lamdin had heard rumors about troubles within the Milton High School football team. But thanks to the tipster, and Lamdin’s drive, the Milton Independent was first to report on an investigation into a serious hazing incident involving the team. As other Vermont media outlets seized on news of the ritualized abuse — which led to one player’s suicide and criminal charges against five others — the Independent broke its share of stories, including exclusive interviews with some players and their families. It was a defining moment for a scrappy free weekly paper produced by two young Vermonters who have found career fulfillment in community journalism: In February, executive editor Lamdin, 29, and Abby Ledoux, a 24-year-old associate editor, won an award from the New England Newspaper & Press Association for their coverage of the sports scandal. At the Milton Independent, where the two women joke about “sharing the same brain,” they plan and report the stories, take photographs, edit copy, lay out the pages and update the website. One of them seems to show up at every community event and selectboard and school board meeting in Milton and neighboring Georgia. “Work-life balance is always on the work side,” Lamdin explained. The Independent grew out of Milton Matters, a monthly newsletter that was penned by volunteers that included former New York City journalist Lynn Delaney. Some of the publication’s writers served on the selectboard and soon began asking to review articles before publication. Anticipating censorship, Delaney quit. Her gumption won the admiration of Emerson Lynn, the publisher of the daily St. Albans Messenger, 12 miles north, and he and Delaney launched the Independent in 1993. The paper is now part of Lynn’s Champlain Valley Newspaper Group. Emerson and his wife, Suzanne, own the Messenger and the Milton Independent. His younger brother, Angelo, owns

Courtney Lamdin

Middlebury’s Addison County Independent, the Brandon Reporter and Killington’s Mountain Times. Together, the Lynns own the Colchester Sun and the Essex Reporter. Delaney hired Lamdin as a reporter in 2009, when the Barre native graduated from Saint Michael’s College with a degree in journalism; she was a star student of former Burlington Free Press staffer Mike Donoghue. When Delaney retired in 2010, Lynn promoted Lamdin, then 23, to run the paper. Lamdin hired

Abby Ledoux and Courtney Lamdin at the NENPA awards

Ledoux in March 2014, just a few months after the young woman graduated from Emerson College in Boston. Their job is to understand Milton and explain the town to itself.

Some visitors think that the town is in Franklin County, not Chittenden County, Lamdin said. Few believe her when she tells them that Milton, population 10,827, is the eighth-largest community in Vermont. “I think Milton is a growing community that doesn’t know what it wants to be yet,” Lamdin said. “There’s a lot of longtime families here and there’s a lot of young families who want their little slice of the American dream. It’s not an identity crisis, but it’s an identity search.” Lamdin has written about robberies and local zoning. She has ridden shotgun with a plow driver and followed a group of local schoolchildren to a ceremony at the White House. As the result of a February promotion, Lamdin now serves as editor of the Sun and the Reporter and oversees a combined staff of seven while rotating between the company’s offices in Milton and Colchester. She’s also responsible for hosting Independent events: Lamdin threw a Prom for Grown-Ups for Milton residents at Higher Ground nightclub and, with the help of some friends, chopped down Milton’s community Christmas tree for an Independent-sponsored holiday ceremony. Lamdin saves both the thank-you cards and the hate mail she receives from readers. “I always told myself I’d move when things got too repetitious and boring, and I wasn’t learning anything, but I feel like I’ve made this job what I’ve wanted,” Lamdin said. “I feel that’s something I could not duplicate at a larger paper. Maybe I’m selling myself short. But I feel like I can see the impact of my work here. That’s what keeps me here.” Growing up in nearby Georgia, Ledoux had dreams of being a journalist but never pictured doing it in her own backyard. Hometown intel is a huge advantage for the associate editor, who can’t stop in the market on her way home from work without bumping into someone she knows. Once again a Georgia resident, Ledoux often finds herself writing about the parents of her childhood friends. Recently, Ledoux has been immersed in covering a controversy

the new regs will ultimately make Milton a more appealing place to build. “If you had $5 million to start a new business, you probably wouldn’t put it on Route 7 in its current state,” said Adams. The town is investing money in an effort to beautify the strip. Dubbed the 4D Project, which stands for Defining the Downtown from Diner to Dam, the plan is to make $2.4 million in improvements — adding sidewalks, planting trees, installing streetlights and wayfinding signs — using tax increment financing that voters approved in 2014. Town manager Donna Barlow Casey said the work could start soon, but the town still needs to obtain easements from other property owners.

The changes could be a boon for Michele Nappi, owner of Moonlight Gifts, a “body, mind, spirit shop” that sells incense, jewelry and other products. Her store is located downtown but sees little foot traffic. “If I have four to six customers, I feel fortunate,” she said. By midafternoon on a recent Tuesday, she had done less than a dollar in sales. Residents are especially excited about a separate plan to create an hourglassshaped town green opposite the Milton Square plaza. The project also involves improving several intersections, which means federal highway money will pay for part of it. Voters have approved an $800,000 bond to cover the rest. “I think that’s a really big deal,” said Bill Kaigle, a Milton artist who owns a wood sign business with his wife called

Ye Olde Sign Shoppe. A park in the middle of town would help “create a sense of place,” he reasoned. Last year, Kaigle served on a citizen group that recommended changes to improve the appearance of Route 7. Many of their suggestions — which included planting trees and adding streetlights — influenced plans for the 4D Project. “It would be great to see some of them acted upon,” he said. Milton residents know that zoning changes and a few million dollars can only accomplish so much. It will likely take more money to create the kind of vibrant downtown that officials envision. And in fiscally conservative Milton, tax hikes don’t play well with the public. Don Turner is a lifelong Milton resident who represents the town in the Statehouse, where he is the Republican minority leader. He is also a realtor, a developer and the town’s fire chief. He supports the effort to create a downtown core with more restaurants and small businesses — “I would to love see that kind of growth” — but he also has doubts. “You can zone it and hope that they will come,” Turner said. But “the market still controls a lot.” Turner has been unable to find a tenant for a 12,000-squarefoot retail building he owns near the center of town on Route 7. Others are more optimistic. “Milton needs to take some chances,” Kaigle said. “I’m a firm believer that if you put investment in a community, it’s gonna pay off.” m

at the Georgia Volunteer Fire Department. In March, six volunteer firefighters were dismissed — and another resigned — in what they claim was retaliation for attempting to unionize and raising safety concerns with the selectboard. Their departures and subsequent legal appeals provoked a flurry of media attention, but other media outlets soon lost interest in the story. Ledoux has stuck it out, attending selectboard hearings on the issue that sometimes run five hours long, sitting in the crowd alongside curious citizens and family members of the firefighters. “I don’t think our towns really consider us the media. They always talk about the media in front of us and forget we’re included in that,” Ledoux said. “TV will fly in and out, and we are always the ones left standing there. People will come to us with things that matter to them, and we’re in a position to explore all the little things that the rest of the media don’t have the resources to care about. I think people appreciate that and know we care about them.” That may account for the staying power of the Independent and many other small-town newspapers that have survived the digital revolution better than their urban daily counterparts. A year ago, Emerson Lynn talked about consolidating the Independent and Messenger offices in St. Albans. Lamdin and Ledoux pushed back, convincing their bosses to lease office space on Main Street, across the street from a seed and fertilizer store. Moving the HQ would not have gone over well with the people of Milton, according to Lamdin, who resides in Winooski. “You run into people at the post office. ‘Hey Joe, hey Bob, how’s it going?’ You don’t always get a story out of it, but it’s important to be part of the community.” m

hen Cady Goudreau and her fiancé started their search for a first home three years ago, they initially focused on Burlington. But even at the top end of their price range, all they could find were ranch-style homes that needed thousands of dollars in renovations. “So we just said, ‘Burlington is not an option,’ and we decided to look a little further out,” she recalled. The young couple — she’s an IT manager, he’s an educator — went north. In Milton, they found a gleaming 2,000-square-foot condo with hardwood floors, updated kitchen and finished basement — all for about $215,000. “There was no way we would have gotten that anywhere else, unless we went even further out to, like, Fairfax,” Goudreau said. “You get a lot of bang for your buck and square footage compared to other places. That’s the nice factor of Milton.” The not-so-nice factor: the town’s unwarranted reputation as a redneck town. “There’s a lot of jokes,” said Milton native Sherwin Westover, a manager at Burlington’s Kiss the Cook, who is in the process of moving back to his hometown. The 39-year-old gay man reeled off some classics: The one about Milton being that place where you buy a used car on the way to St. Albans, or — worse — where guys date their sisters. “When I say I’m from Milton, there’s always this pause,” Westover said. “I think it still has a reputation.” Meanwhile, good deals on starter homes are challenging the bad rap, which includes less-than-stellar schools. Talk to anyone who lives in Milton, and the town’s relatively affordable real estate inevitably comes up in conversation. Milton offers more bedrooms and yard space for the money than many communities closer to Burlington. For young families, the extra acreage matters — whether it’s a large parcel in one of Milton’s many new suburban-style subdivisions, or a more rural-feeling lot close the town’s forests and farm fields. Property values here are among the fastest rising in Chittenden County, according to the Coldwell Banker Hickok & Boardman Realty Mid-Year 2016 Market Report. The median sale price

for a home in Milton is $253,250 — a 7.3 percent bump over 2015. Goudreau and her fiancé topped that. After a few years in their starter condo, they’re moving. The couple got multiple offers before accepting one for $248,000 — $30,000 more than they paid. Diana Corkrum isn’t going anywhere. The full-time mom lives with her husband, Kevin, and their three young children, ages 1 to 5, on a sloping lot in North Milton. They bought their house five years ago, partly because Milton was close to extended family in St. Albans and an easy commute to Kevin Corkrum’s healthcare software sales job in Burlington. “We call it, my husband and I, the best of both worlds,” Corkrum said. “We can be in Burlington in 20 minutes and we can have our peace and quiet up here on the hill, with hiking trails right out our backyard. It’s really just what we were looking for in a location to raise our family.” The town’s many amenities and activities for families are a plus, too, Corkrum said. Her children love the

annual autumn pumpkin carving and bonfire at Bombardier Park, as well as the events at Milton Public Library. “It’s really, I’d say, improved just since we’ve moved here,” Corkrum said. The library is open until 8 p.m. four nights a week so working people can

Her daughter, heading into her senior year at Milton High, is also getting a good education, Georgakis said. “It’s a nice community, it’s a safe community,” she added. “My kids were happy growing up here.” Those are among the reasons that Westover and his partner are moving from Essex to Milton. “I think people in the town are really good at taking care of one another,” Westover said of the neighborly goodwill he recalls from his childhood. The place isn’t perfect, of course. Although there are plenty of other gay residents in Milton, Westover said he still hears inappropriate remarks from time to time in town, even from people he knows. Rather than get upset, he tries to educate people he hears using slurs: “You can’t say that … You have kids and you can’t raise them … to be ‘Take Back Vermont.’” But for Westover, roots trump rudeness.

town recreation coordinator. Milton has plenty of trails, parks and lakeshore. The town’s toughest sell is its schools. “I think any place that’s a little bit under-gentrified, people tend to make it out to be worse than it is, the school system in general, just because it’s an easy target,” Goudreau said. “But they are getting better.” Her fiancé was a teacher at Milton Middle School and recently started a job as principal of Folsom Elementary in South Hero. School data presents a mixed picture — Milton’s graduation rate is higher than the state average, and the high school offers Advanced Placement courses, which can add luster to transcripts if students do well. But Milton High School students who took AP courses in 2015 had slightly lower pass rates than the state average; SAT scores were similarly below the mean statewide. Corkrum was concerned about Milton’s schools and their reputation — but instead has been pleasantly surprised. Her oldest child last year attended preschool at Milton Elementary and the teachers, the curriculum and the emphasis on learning through play impressed her.

This Old House

Milton history buffs work to save the home of Vermont’s greatest Civil War hero B Y KEN PICAR D

ust north of the MiltonColchester town line, sandwiched between an industrial stretch of Route 7 and a Gardener’s Supply parking lot, sits an old white farmhouse that’s seen better days. A large sign out front, bearing the sepiatoned visage of a 19th-century Union soldier, makes an earnest plea to passing motorists: “Help save my house!” This weathered structure was once the home of Vermont’s most important Civil War hero: George Jerrison Stannard (1820–1886). The Georgia, Vt. native may not be a household name, but few historians dispute Stannard’s critical role in shaping the course of the Battle of Gettysburg and, hence, the outcome of the war. As Montpelier historian and author Howard Coffin told an audience at the

Pennsylvania battlefield on its 150th anniversary: “Vermont won the Battle of Gettysburg with Stannard’s flank attack on Pickett’s Charge.” As Coffin later recalled, no one ever challenged that bold claim. Yet despite Stannard’s historical significance — he was also the first Vermonter to enlist in the Civil War — few memorials in the state bear his name. A granite monument marking his Franklin County birthplace is overgrown with sumac and barely visible to passing motorists. Similarly, an unremarkable plaque hangs in the Cedar Creek Room of the Statehouse, beside a wheelchair ramp leading to the cafeteria. You have to know where to find the statue of the one-armed general that marks his grave in Burlington’s Lakeview Cemetery.

But now a group of dedicated history buffs from Milton is leading the charge to resurrect his house and legacy. The nonprofit General Stannard House Committee formed in 2014 to save and restore his postwar home, where he lived and farmed from 1866 to 1872. It’s the last Stannard structure left; in 1989, the Milton Fire Department unceremoniously burned Stannard’s barn, built specifically to accommodate his disability — he lost his right arm in combat in 1862 during a training exercise. “How that came about, when the property was already on the state historic register, is a mystery. But it’s a sad loss,” noted committee cochair Bill Kaigle, one of four committee members who met this reporter for a tour of the house. “We’re looking to honor Stannard with what’s left.”

The committee faces a daunting task — inside and out. Much of the home’s exterior dates to its last occupant, Raymond Sanderson, who lived and farmed there from the mid-1900s until his death in 1988. Sanderson added the garage, which would be demolished if the house was saved. As Kaigle wryly noted about a TV antenna sticking from the roof, “Stannard got really good reception out here.” The interior isn’t any better. To enter the original, 28-by-40-foot farmhouse requires stepping over a large hole in the floor. In what may have been the kitchen, a collapsed wooden beam bisects the room at a 45-degree angle. In another, a wooden door peels like a white birch. Plaster and rubble litter the floors. Non-original staircases are dangerously unstable.

On the tour, committee historian Terry Richards acknowledged that there’s precious little inside the 1,600-square-foot farmhouse worth saving beyond its original wide-plank floorboards, hand-hewn wooden beams and fieldstone-and-brick cellar. Over the years there have been calls to “burn it down, tear it down, put in a park, move it into town, move it out of town, let it collapse,” Richards said. “It’s all been on the table.” Why was such an important figure in Vermont history ignored for so long? Coffin, a Woodstock native, pointed out that he was never taught anything in school about Stannard or his role in the war. It wasn’t until Ken Burns’ ninepart PBS documentary series, “The Civil War,” first aired in 1990 that Vermonters’ interest in the war was rekindled. Beginning in the 1990s and through the mid-2000s, several Vermont businesses and organizations spent time and money trying, unsuccessfully, to do something with the Stannard house. The Greater Burlington Industrial Corporation, which owned the property from 1989 until 2011, invested $15,000 to $20,000 to determine whether the house was salvageable and if so, what could be

done with it. Ultimately, GBIC couldn’t identify anyone with both the desire and funds to salvage the historical home, noted GBIC president Frank Cioffi. In 2011, the Miller Realty Group bought the house and surrounding property and built an adjacent industrial park but agreed not to develop the historic site itself. Three years later, members of the Milton Historical Society formed the General Stannard House Committee. Committee cochair Kaigle admitted that the projected budget for the restoration is daunting: The cost of stabilizing and renovating the structure alone is estimated at $220,000 to $300,000. Those figures don’t reflect the costs of items community members have agreed to donate, such as a new roof. Taxpayers won’t be involved, the Milton native emphasized. Nevertheless, he and others on the committee believe the house still has intrinsic value beyond what few historic accoutrements are left inside. Kaigle envisions the house becoming part of a larger Civil War historic trail through the Green Mountain State. The committee will update the Milton Selectboard at its next meeting on August 15. “Our main goal is to tell the story of Stannard and Vermont in the Civil War, in the house that he lived in,” Kaigle said. “I think it would be a victory that Milton sorely needs. Milton needs a reason to come to Milton, a specific reason that other towns don’t have. It would be a great heritage attraction.” m

thought then how she looked like she was of this place, like she was some kind of creature or tree that had grown here.” That’s a man’s description of the woman he loves in “Maggie in the Trees,” a story from Half Wild. The evocative phrase “of this place” works just as well to describe this debut collection from Robin MacArthur of Marlboro. The author is a third-generation Vermonter, and her work displays many of the traits typically associated with Green Mountain fiction: an intense, lyrical engagement with rural landscapes; an elegiac tone; a recurring motif of the tension between outsiders and those who are “from here.” Yet nothing is tired or overly familiar about this glowing collection. Partly through the broad range of her sympathies, partly through the impressionistic sorcery of her prose, MacArthur transcends the traditions of “place-based” fiction to create something new. Most of these 11 stories are told in first person. Their protagonists are (mostly) women and men, ranging in age from teen to elderly. Some are “from here” and others not; some dwell in McMansions and others in trailers on the edge of crumbling farmsteads. Yet they all share a place — the rural environs of “Whiskey Mountain,” where “some poor fella died making moonshine,” says Maggie in the story that bears her name. According to local legend, it was the craving for more and more that killed him: “Can you imagine? A place named after that kind of wanting?” MacArthur’s characters all feel a “wanting.” Some yearn for sex, adventure, escape. For others, the landscape itself stirs a deep ache in the soul. In “The Heart of the Woods,” the wife of the town’s biggest real estate developer visits her dad, a hard-drinking logger wedded to his rugged life in the forest.

Over the course of a long, boozy evening, she feels “the dangerous and frightening pull of some new, or old, kind of life — drunk, hopeless, pine-pitched — calling.” MacArthur makes us feel the

call of the wild, and the ties to the land that make old farmsteaders reluctant to sell. But she doesn’t present allegiance to the land as a simple or unambiguous good. In “Where Fields Try to Lie,” a middle-aged urbanite returns to his ancestral farm, “the place that will not let me be.” Yet he has no “romantic dream of returning to the land.” For this narrator, home is steeped in memories of a harsh life that he escaped only after paying, as we learn, a terrible price. MacArthur’s characters include natives whose forebears go back many generations, newcomers and a third class of people who aren’t so often portrayed in fiction — the back-tothe-landers’ grown children. In “The Women Where I’m From,” an urban dweller returns to Vermont to care for her sick mother, who had arrived in a more idealistic time, decided to milk goats and never left. Struggling with her own feelings of rootlessness, the daughter wonders why she chose to flee from her mother’s Eden. “I don’t hate it here; I hate what happens to me

and cigarette smoke and clean sweat.” In “Where Fields Try to Lie,” the narrator “breathe[s] in the scent of mud, that dank and harrowing smell that wants, every year, and with such determination, to break things open.” Just as the land’s illusion of permanence coexists with its seasonal rupture and destruction (and its human development), so the desire to stay or go, to log or farm or to escape the stink of mud and manure forever, can coexist in a single family. Yet all MacArthur’s characters have something in common: The land speaks to them, “pulls” them. Inseparable from their memories, it will always belong to their dreams. These stories could help redefine “Vermont fiction” for anthologists to come, in that they effortlessly marry old-timer tropes with contemporary ones. After all, is the hard-drinking logger any more the epitome of Vermont than the opiate addict who lives in a trailer with her grown daughter, watching reruns of “Twin Peaks”? Readers of this stunning collection may find that MacArthur’s places and people haunt their dreams, as well.

when I am here,” she tells us. “I hate the way it draws me in. The way it leads to nowhere but itself.” Indeed, the landscape of these stories often feels like a labyrinth coiled in on itself, a place of magical borders that only some can cross. Yet it remains connected to the outer world and the rumblings of wider conflicts, as MacArthur reminds us in “God’s Country.” That title is ironic: An elderly woman suspects her beloved grandson has begun hosting a white supremacy group in her barn. Torn between kinship and a sense of justice, she finds herself remembering the first time she faced such a dilemma: in her youth, when a nascent romance collided with the area’s then-flagrant racial prejudices. For some people, MacArthur reminds us in this un-preachy story, being “from here” can become a pretext for hating those one classifies as intruders. These brief stories, many of them in present tense, have a restless flow that makes them as hypnotic as the places they describe. Few feature much action, and some are essentially vignettes, such as “Creek Dippers” (see sidebar), yet it’s hard to put any of them down in the middle. All of the stories showcase MacArthur’s knack for indelible, almost Proustian sensory description.

rom the side of Route 7, the Milton Diner promises ice cream, fried snacks and a shaded patio in brown clapboard siding. I approach the entry and glance at the menu overhead. Fried cauliflower sounds good, but not as much as something cold. Maybe a blueberry sundae special, which the teen behind the counter describes as your basic ice cream, whipped cream, nuts-and-cherry deal, plus blueberries. Tempting, but I go for a kiddie-size chocolate-vanilla-twist creemee instead. Cooling, smooth and sweet, the cone is a bargain at $1.53. I head to the back porch, settle into a chair and get to licking. I’m in Milton to survey the food scene — part of the package of Milton stories that starts on page 28 of this issue. What do people eat here, just 20 minutes from Burlington’s farm-to-table and ethnic restaurants? Inside the diner, two elderly couples snack on fried something-or-other. Young mothers with kids in tow eat ice cream. But in the sweltering mid-afternoon lull, I’m alone on the deck. I pull out my phone. Maybe Pokémon are hiding here. The game takes a moment to load but opens with a quick vibration: A Pidgey has perched on my creemee! It flaps its wings and shoots me a look. I catch it on the third shot, drop the phone and swoop in to save my ice cream, which is losing a battle with heat and gravity. I’d heard there’s a new barbecue joint in town, Roaster’s BBQ. If it’s open (the owners haven’t set a normal schedule yet, though they’re reliably open on Fridays and Saturdays from 11:30 until the meat is gone), and if you get there early (it sells out daily), you may even get some ’cue. Which, I’m told, is good. Really good. It’s on my list, but my next stop is Milton Beverage Warehouse, just down

the road. Once inside, I scoop up some dank IPAs from Burlington Beer, 14th Star Brewing and Zero Gravity Craft Brewery. I pause at the grill. Should I order a Michigan? With fries, it’s only $6.99. But the nice twentysomething clerk at the register draws me in with a warm “hello” smile, so I pay and get on outa there. Heading toward town on Route 7, I note the chromatic glow of the Dam Diner — the name references Clarks Falls Dam, a local landmark. After the Apollo Diner ended operations there in 2014, the space sat vacant for about a year until the Handy family — which owns other Chittenden County food businesses including the South Burlington LISTEN IN ON LOCAL FOODIES...

IHOP — presumably saw potential in the well-traveled location, and perhaps in Milton as a community seemingly on the cusp of development. Initially they painted the walls inside and renamed the place Rowan’s. When the business failed to meet expectations, the Handys closed for a few months, repainted (this time mimicking the Apollo’s original mid-century teal color scheme), and rechristened it the Dam Diner. But it’s too hot to sit for lunch, so I pull up to Madeleines Bakery across the parking lot. Inside, a glass case holds cupcakes, cakes and doughnuts, cream puffs, éclairs, and other treats. I order a Boston cream doughnut and shortbread

cookies stuffed with blueberry jelly. Also a flaky puff pastry stick filled with silky, sweet buttercream, which I eat immediately. A mile or so down the road, a sign reads, “THE DAM FOOD TRUCK, NOW OPEN.” I veer onto Middle Road, toward a dance studio and used electronics shop. No food truck. I turn around and pass a Dollar General, a Domino’s Pizza and an old recliner set out by the side of the road. At the Middle Road Market and liquor store, I stop in and ask the young gals at the register, “Do you know where the Dam Food Truck is?” They direct me back to the dance studio. “Is it any good?” I ask. Two of the girls shrug — they haven’t been — but a third one offers, “If it’s the one that used to park at the trailer park, then it’s OK.” I go back, but the truck apparently has left for the day. So I wander into the electronics shop, where a sign on the window says “VINYL,” hoping to score a gem or two. The selection is mostly old country albums, and I buy five for $3 apiece. “What if I could make a living selling records in Milton?” the owner wonders aloud, noting that he only recently got into the used vinyl business. We agree that would be rad, if unlikely — but you never know. Continuing north on Route 7, I spot Duke’s Creemees, which looks like a daycare center. It’s swarming with young ’uns and a few grown-ups. In a parking lot next to the Milton Grange, two red trailers bake in the sun, each with awnings to shade the order window. Under a waving American flag and an “Open” banner, the sign for Randy’s Lunch Box advertises hand-cut fries. Good enough reason to pull in. FOOD IN COMMON

While traveling out west, ANDREW SEPIC and NICOLE GRINSTEAD enjoyed stumbling on pint-size coffee caravans in unexpected places. “They would do great coffee in the middle of nowhere,” Sepic recalls. “There was just room [inside] for a guy and an espresso machine.” After moving to Vermont, the pair found themselves commuting to Burlington on a route that lacked quality brews. They decided to take the DIY approach. “We thought it would be great to create a mobile solution,” says Sepic. “To bring good coffee to the underserved … people outside of the city.” The couple’s trailer, NOMAD COFFEE, opens early next week at Five Corners in Essex Junction, near BERDA’S ROADSIDE EATERY. It will remain there Monday through Friday, serving from 7 a.m. until around 3 p.m. On the weekends, Nomad will live up to its name, popping up at public events such as mountain-bike rallies and private gatherings such as weddings. Beans will come from BRIO COFFEEWORKS of Burlington, as will cold brew, which will likely be “on nitro.” Not only do Sepic and Grinstead like the company’s roasts but Brio’s owners and staff have been instrumental in helping the pair get their business off the ground. “They’ve given us so much support throughout the process,” Sepic says. “In education and training and helping

Food in Common « P.38 “You Randy?” I ask the man in the window. “Nope,” he says. “I just work here.” He tells me his name is Robbie Griswold. I order a Michigan — here called the “Vermont Dog,” since it seems like a local specialty. While I wait, I check for Pokémon. The Grange is a Poké Stop — I stock up on supplies, including several Pokémon-catching Poké Balls — but find no Pokémon. Griswold calls out my order. I add mustard, relish and ketchup, then head for a picnic table. My phone vibrates, indicating a Pokémon in range. I look down and spin around to find it, pouring my hot dog — or mostly its mustard and meat sauce — all over my skirt, legs and feet. Not. Winning. Griswold — and Larry Leggett, Randy’s dad — watch from the grill. I look up, feeling very uncool, and ask if they can please redo my order, assuring them I’ll pay again. Leggett is already dropping more fries into the grease. They won’t let me pay again, and they send me inside to clean up in the grange bathroom. Thank goodness for the kindness of strangers — and for hot dogs in griddled buns, smothered in meat sauce. And for pristine salted potatoes, fried to a deep amber crisp. “Did you get my creemee truck?” Leggett calls as he notices me snapping images of my meal. Randy’s began serving creemees a few weeks back, he says, adding that it’s been “slow.” He thinks that’s because Duke’s has 100 flavors. “How many flavors do you have?” I ask. “Just three,” Leggett says. “Chocolate, vanilla and twist. And sprinkles.” I resist the urge to order more ice cream. “Have you been to the new barbecue spot?” I ask the men. “I’ve heard good things,” Griswold says. “But when they’re open, I’m here.” It’s at the bottom of the hill, he explains, if I want to check it out. Roaster’s isn’t open, but I stop anyway and peer in the windows. A chalkboard menu offers chicken and biscuit for $4.95; sandwiches of pulled pork or chicken, brisket and ribs ($7.50 to $9.50); and fresh corn on the cob for $1. Someone steps out from the kitchen and waves. I wave back, making a face that I hope reads, I know you’re closed and don’t mind me, just looking — but he opens the door. I learn he’s Phil Gueniot, the chef. He was at the Parkway Diner in South Burlington before this. I take this as great news, because the Parkway makes

great diner food, with local ingredients and all from scratch. Gueniot says how crazy-busy it’s been at Roaster’s — he’s burning through 150 pounds each of mac and cheese and coleslaw every two days, plus 35 gallons of barbecue sauce. And he makes it all by hand. Roaster’s owner Trevor Leroux rolls up in a pickup truck. He smokes the meat — hundreds of pounds of it each week. “It doesn’t matter how much I make,” he says. “It goes.” He admits he’s feeling “wiped out.” Originally, Leroux got his pigs from a friend — until he’d bought every last pig on the farm. “He can’t grow ’em fast enough,” Leroux says. Then he notices my notebook. “If you’re going to write something, you need to give credit where credit is due. This isn’t just me,” he says. “If it was just me, there’s no way this would have happened.” Bill Riley, he continues, owns the building, and leased it to him rent-free between October and June, when he opened. “And John Mason did the

refrigerators, and Dean Rock did my oven, and Todd Bushey did the gas lines.” Friends at Catamount Plumbing & Heating helped, too, and Mike Myers did the electrical work. Josh Cutler at Cutler Custom Cycle Fabrication built the extra smokers. None of these workers charged for their labor, only materials. “They’re just working for food,” Leroux finishes, crossing his thick carpenter’s arms. Dishwasher Larry Whitney — another old friend — “is washing dishes at the same sink he was washing dishes on when he was a kid,” Leroux adds. Back then the place was known as Village Roost Pizza. Leroux won’t let me leave before I try the food, and warms up a serving of stewy chicken and biscuit (like an inside-out pot pie), which he serves along with a scoop of excellent potato salad. He also includes slabs of smoked Jack cheese, iced tea and a beautiful slice of raspberry pie, which another friend’s wife baked with berries from their property.

Though the restaurant is closed, I leave stuffed — and ready for a beer, since it’s about 5 p.m. The parking lot at the North Country Saloon is teeming with pickups, HarleyDavidsons and beat-up 1990s sedans. Bikes in a bar parking lot are always a good sign. Inside, it’s burger night. Five dollars scores a hefty Milton Burger with cheese, lettuce and tomato. “They’re huge,” a waitress tells me, waiting by the kitchen doors for an order. “And they’re yummy. I get them way too often.” I order wings and a Fiddlehead IPA from the lanky bartender, who is self-effacing and has an easy, nerdy laugh. “You want the boneless ones or the bone-in?” “Ooh, gimme the bone-in,” I say, and we both giggle. “I used to ask if people wanted them bone-in, bone-out, but that got...” “Ha,” I say. Of course it did. The beer is fresh, the wings crisp and slicked with orange Buffalo sauce. As regulars shuffle in, the bartender comments on new haircuts and confirms usual drink orders. In the blue glow of a twirling Labatt sign, patrons sip Bud Light or Captain-and-ginger or pinot grigio in sweating glasses. Picnic tables out front sit vacant in the hazy summer heat. By 6:30, the bar is full; several families have gathered in booths and around tables in the dining room. Most order the $5 burger. Two guys at the end of the bar are talking about the new barbecue joint — they haven’t gotten any meat yet, either. One rubs off a scratch ticket: “I was feeling lucky,” he says, “and I didn’t get nothing.” The conversation meanders to mud bogging or four-wheeling or something off-road … I can’t quite make out what. No Pokémon are hiding at the saloon — Milton is clearly not much of a Pokémon hotspot. But throughout this town, the pleasant faces and cozy, casual chatter — along with solid, everyday fare — are distraction enough. m Contact: hannah@sevendaysvt.com

Over the past 80 years, Lake Bomoseen’s LAKE HOUSE PUB AND GRILLE has passed through many hands. This past May, it opened once again with new proprietors. This time, improvements included a spanking new kitchen, a remodeled dining room, an extensive bar and food worthy of the killer sunset view. The new menu features summer comfort classics like burgers, loaded nachos and buttered, toasted lobster rolls. An elevated approach to preparation indicates the presence

of executive chef JON GATEWOOD, who also fronts the DORSET INN and BARROWS HOUSE with his restaurant group 8 CHURCH STREET HOSPITALITY. While Gatewood oversees the menu, chef de cuisine KRAIG WILLIS, a Rutland local, takes charge of daily operations. “We have fresh produce coming in every day,” says Willis, adding that everything from sauces to dressings is made from scratch. Bar manager COLLEEN CUSHMAN complements the lakeside experience with a bar program complete with housemade syrups, Vermont spirits and 12 beers on tap, most of them local. Last Saturday, Cushman’s cocktail special was Strawberry-Lavender Lemonade made with muddled berries and Silo Lavender Vodka. And, yes, there’s still an unbeatable westerly view.

to connect small breweries with thirsty craft-beer customers. Like many of its clients, Beer Shepherd works on a micro scale, purchasing one or two pallets of beer at a time. That’s key for breweries such as Winooski’s FOUR QUARTERS BREWING, which recently signed with Beer Shepherd after selfdistributing for years. “The first thing we hear from small breweries is, ‘We don’t have enough [beer to distribute],’” Indy Ewald says. Most distributors focus on mass-market beers first, then round out their portfolios with craft beer, she explains. “We wanted to make [small brewers] our priority — to [provide] artisanal treatment for artisanal beer.” That means handling the beer as a brewer would, storing it at its ideal temperature and respecting the brief shelf lives of aromatic IPAs and other delicate brews. Starting this Friday, August 12, the company will host its first annual Vermont Beer Shepherd Week. The week of events will introduce

Both drinks seemed equally enticing: jewel-toned, glasses sweating in the summer heat. I was sitting at a DayGlo-orange lacquered picnic table on the balcony at Picnic Social, a hotel restaurant on the Mountain Road in Stowe. My sister, who had intended to meet me 20 minutes earlier, was somewhere in the midst of summer road-construction traffic, inhaling asphalt fumes. We’d be sharing the drinks, but her lateness gave me first dibs. I took a sip of the Smash; it was boozy, complex and, I noted thankfully, not overly sweet. The Crawler delivered a perfect kick of chile. I sipped. I waited. I read the menu over and over. I felt cautiously optimistic. Many hotels have on-site restaurants. It’s a handy way to capitalize on vacation fatigue: After a day of bike riding, zooming down zip lines or skiing in fresh powder, guests may find getting dressed up and going out for dinner a chore.

Happily, the spot lived up to its promise. From the lawn games to the food to the friendly service, Picnic Social was a scrumptious, and silly, success.

S’more

The restaurant offers plenty of seating, from bar stools to cozy nooks by fireplaces, and even gives diners the fetching opportunity to spread out a picnic blanket and eat on the lawn. With the sun blazing, the breezy porch seemed like the place to be. Most of our companions there were families with small children. Indoors, well-dressed older folk, probably tourists, kept cool. Alcohol aside, nothing on the Picnic Social menu costs more than $10 except for some larger “shared” portion sizes in which a few dishes are available. For a little more than a Benjamin, my sister and I were able to sip those two fancy cocktails and eat a few bites of every dish we desired, with leftovers. And we got to play games while doing it. Ordering at Picnic Social is reminiscent of scoring at a mini-golf establishment: Patrons use stubby pencils to indicate on little paper tickets how many units of each dish they’d like. DIY as that may be, the restaurant is full service, and the staffers are attentive and friendly, as well as pleasantly casual. Rather than arriving in strict courses, food comes from the kitchen as soon as it’s ready.

After ordering, we tried our hand at a nearby game of cornhole, which involves tossing corn-stuffed beanbags into the waiting maws of fancy cardboard boxes. Mostly missing, occasionally succeeding and giggling all the while, we passed the time. Across the balcony, a Stowe resident played a game of Connect Four with his son, who was drinking milk with a straw from a classic glass bottle. Just inside the door to the restaurant’s interior sat a collection of board games, including the irreverent Cards Against Humanity. We paused our game when our food arrived, handing off the “corn bags” to a little guy at the next table over. His younger sister, from her high chair, offered a toothless grin. Some restaurants cut corners by using the same mix of greens in all their salads. Not this one. Our salads came on metal trays lined with brown paper, and they turned out to be even more ample than the server had promised. The first

featured burrata: a lush, cream-filled ball of mozzarella that oozed onto baby lettuce, croutons and tomatoes. The other salad was a pile of arugula in that perfect state where it’s tender and sharp without having an overwhelming bite. The greens were mellowed by buttermilk dressing and the salty fattiness of thinly sliced prosciutto; they arrived scattered with pieces of marinated plum. Our next course was two versions of “stuff on toast.” As with the salads, we tried a vegetarian offering — red and yellow tomatoes, hunks of perfectly ripe avocado, basil leaves and herb-flecked radish slices, plus a slather of aioli — and a second one made with animal protein. In this case, smoked trout. Like the veggie version, the trout toast featured radishes and aioli (this version with dill swirled in), but it came on rye bread capped with tiny whole pickled mushrooms and capers. Both dishes were perfectly seasoned, fresh and delightful enough to order again — and I hardly ever order anything twice. An ex once lovingly called me a potato slut, and it’s true that I couldn’t get enough of the gloriously crisp fingerlings tossed in Old Bay, with their salty, celery-kissed, barely spicy punch. I ate with my fingers, licking the residual spices off them between bites. After my exuberant spud lust, the grilled-cheese sandwich turned out to be overkill, but the gooey sharp cheddar, with its accompaniment of strawberry-rosemary jam, made great leftovers.

food+drink

Of the three desserts we tried, I loved one: a mason jar filled with lemon curd topped with bing cherries and crispy oats. Light, fruity and tangy, it was everything I want in a sweet treat. The s’more, made with fluff and hazelnut-chocolate spread (think Nutella) on homemade graham crackers, was a bit too sweet for my taste. At the same time, the flaxseed crackers lacked the distinctive honeyed “graham” flavor. They actually tasted — gulp — healthy. The homemade “Hoodsie” cup was fine, but I found it nothing special. Those were two minimal blips in an otherwise completely charming experience. After we paid, we wandered inside to try our hands at shuffleboard. A cross between its outdoor namesake and air hockey, this version of the game involves sliding metal pucks down a long table into scoring zones without overshooting. As we played, full as I was, I kept thinking about the pickled-plum salad, and those bites of potato. As soon as I can muster a group of game-playing friends, I’ll be back at Picnic Social. We’ll grab a game from the shelves — Taboo, Balderdash or an old standard like Parcheesi — claim a picnic table and order one of everything. m Contact: podhaizer@sevendaysvt.com

Most fermented things are delicious: sauerkraut, yogurt, beer. Sandor Katz has dedicated himself to promoting the benefits of the bacteria that make them. His books Wild Fermentation and The Art of Fermentation contributed to a revival of interest in the ancient practice. For the past two weeks, he’s been sharing his knowledge with students at Sterling College. If you were late to class or not in it, Katz is holding a book launch for the second edition of Wild Fermentation on Friday. Meet the author, pick up a copy, and try your hand at kimchi and kefir in the comfort of your own home.

Single Serving Comedian Jen Kirkman on love, comedy and her new book BY D A N BOL LES

en Kirkman has been called “a thinking person’s comedian.” But the scribes at the Onion’s A.V. Club didn’t bestow that superlative on her merely because she’s a supremely smart, witty comedian and writer — though she is. Rather, they pointed out that she does “comedy for people who live inside their own heads.” Along with sharp quips and one-liners, a contemplative quality characterizes Kirkman’s comedy and writing. Her first book, the 2013 New York Times bestseller I Can Barely Take Care of Myself: Tales From a Happy Life Without Kids, was an honest and hilarious take on eschewing a lifestyle defined by white picket fences and 2.5 kids. Her 2016 follow-up, I Know What I’m Doing — and Other Lies I Tell Myself: Dispatches From a Life Under Construction, delves even further into the perils of navigating adulthood. Kirkman’s balance of smarts and sincerity is evident in her uproarious standup act, which she’s performed all over the country and on shows such as “Conan,” “The Tonight Show With Jay Leno” and “John Oliver’s New York Stand-Up Show,” among others. Her 2015 Netflix standup special, “I’m Gonna Die Alone (And I Feel Fine)” was named in the top 10 of the genre by both the Atlantic and Time Out New York — and was recently released as an album. Kirkman has also appeared on Comedy Central’s “@midnight With Chris Hardwick” and was a writer and round-table guest on “Chelsea Lately.” All this is in addition to frequent appearances as a narrator on Comedy Central’s Emmy-nominated series “Drunk History.” Kirkman’s podcast, “I Seem Fun: The Diary of Jen Kirkman” is regularly among the top 100 comedy pods on iTunes. Kirkman performs five shows in three nights this Friday through Sunday, August 12 through 14, at the Vermont Comedy Club in Burlington. Seven Days interviewed the comedian by email. [Some responses have been edited and condensed.]

104.7 The Point welcomes

SEVENDAYSVT.COM

We begin this week paying homage to a place that longtime readers will likely recognize as one of this scribe’s favorite local dive bars. The OP? Well, yes. I do love the OP. But that’s not it. Esox? Um … yeah, I enjoy that one, too. But no. The Olde Northender? Another great bar, but also not the dive in question. Franny O’s? Come on, that one’s not even around any more. (Though I quite like the Sugar House Bar & Grill, which sits there now. Same great view of the Kmart parking lot. Much cleaner bathrooms. In a related story, I spend way too much time at dive bars, apparently.) No, friends, we’re talking about what has been called by some — OK, me — “the greatest bar in the world.” Charlie-O’s World Famous in Montpelier. The downtown capital city watering hole celebrates its 40th anniversary with a blowout bash this Saturday, August 13. Spit Jack If you’ve never been — and I confess it’s been far too long since I’ve darkened Charlie-O’s doorway myself — the joint is the definition of a hole-in-thewall. The lighting is dim. There’s all manner of tacky crap on the walls. The bathrooms are cramped. The band is usually way too loud — as are the patrons, in my experience. All that’s missing is chicken wire in front of the stage. In short, it’s glorious. So much so that Vermont’s reigning kings of barroom honky tonk, the STARLINE RHYTHM BOYS, recorded their excellent 2008 live album there, Live at Charlie-O’s World Famous. Here’s how I prefaced that album in my review eight years ago: “If heaven were a roadhouse — as I’ve always imagined it

is — it would be a lot like Charlie-O’s in Montpelier. And if said dusty juke joint needed a house band, the Man Upstairs — that’d be Hank to you and me — could do worse than Vermont’s finest rockabilly trio, Starline Rhythm Boys. Angels they ain’t. In fact, BILLY BRATCHER is just about the most devilish sumbitch behind the double bass this side of LEE ROCKER. But in this version of the afterlife, sinners will likely outnumber saints.” I stand by every word of that. And I think it paints a pretty clear picture of why the Main Street dive is such a beloved institution. As you might expect, SRB will be on hand for the festivities — undoubtedly playing their tune “Charlie-O’s.” But the rest of the lineup is equally compelling and fitting. Local blues man JOHN LACKARD helmed the first band to play the stage — really just a spot on the floor — at Charlie-O’s. He’ll kick things off with the JOHN LACKARD BLUES BAND. Golden Dome favorites ABBY JENNE & THE HARD LIVERS are next, featuring Jenne — a longtime fixture behind the bar — and the best dive-bar band name in history. PARIAH BEAT will come from the Upper Valley woods to unleash some fiery Americana. The TSUNAMIBOTS will enslave as many humans as possible with their brand of robotic surf-rock. And to top it all off, notorious punks SPIT JACK will once again reunite, resuming their quest to get kicked out of every bar in the state. I’m not exactly sure what one would have to do to get kicked out of Charlie-O’s. But if anyone can do it, Spit Jack can. But wait, there’s more!

The day’s festivities will also include a food truck backyard BBQ behind Charlie-O’s. Oh, and there’s also a “Free Advice Panel” in the afternoon. My guess is that involves the drink slingers from the bar dispensing sage pearls of wisdom, as bartenders are wont to do. One last bit ties it all together: That same day is the United Motorcyclists of Vermont Toy Run, which was founded at Charlie-O’s many years back by a fellow named ROD CLARKE. In solidarity with the cause, Charlie-O’s will reserve plenty of space for motorcycle parking. Because of course they will. Happy anniversary, Charlie-O’s.

But there is plenty of un-Dead fare as well, including locals DWIGHT & NICOLE and the AEROLITES, Northampton’s BELLA’S BARTOK (see spotlight on page 62) and (802) 859-0100 | WWW.VTCOMEDY.COM upstate New York’s BLIND OWL BAND. And 101 main street, BurlingtoN if the tribute-band thing is your jam, the fest also presents the debut of a new local WEEN tribute act, BROTHERHOOD OF Untitled-23 1 8/8/16 MANG. It consists of members of FOLKS UP IN TREETOPS, GRUNDLEFUNK, BRICKDROP and a former member of TWIDDLE.

Moss is, simply put, among the most admired and decorated house DJs on the planet. In his 20-plus-year career, he’s released more than 150 tracks on scads of labels that have shaken dance floors around the globe. Booking him in Metronome’s intimate environs yet again is quite the coup.

While visiting with some old friends last Thursday, August 4, I happened into Manhattan Pizza & Pub. To my surprise and delight, I ran into yet another old friend, the REVEREND BEN DONOVAN, rocking the small stage with his crack band, the CONGREGATION. To refresh your memory, with the aid of MADAILA’s and Future Fields’ JER COONS, Donovan and co. put out a dynamite self-titled record in 2015. That album was not only one of the best local records of the year but among the best country albums to come out of Vermont in a long time. In my review of the album, I likened Donovan to some other current vintage country torchbearers, including STURGILL SIMPSON and CHRIS STAPLETON. That’s not to say he’s quite on their level just yet. But Donovan’s approach, particularly his affinity for twisting genre convention, is similarly inventive. To wit: his delightfully snarky BUCK OWENS paean, “If There’s DJs in Heaven,” which is on my short list of favorite local songs … well, ever. Donovan has since moved to Pittsburgh, with plans to head to Nashville soon — see: country singer, above. Fortunately for us, he’s sticking around Burlington for a bit. Catch him with the full band this Saturday, August 13, at Nectar’s.

REVIEW this Jesse Forest, Lights Out

pop-jazz sound that was popular in the 1990s — think Pizzicato Five — Forest’s sound is traditional, as is much of the contemporary Japanese jazz scene. Brushed, shuffling drumbeats form the foundation for nearly every track. Vocal scatting and improvised solos remind us we’re listening to a purist. Kaoru Azuma, a frequent collaborator, provides vocals. Azuma’s voice is

light and lilting, reminiscent of Pink Martini’s China Forbes. Only two tracks are purely instrumental, “501” and “Stumble Around.” At Studio Forte in Kobe, Japan, Forest and Azuma teamed up with an ensemble of four other musicians and recorded the CD over two days not quite a year ago. Forest’s melodies are fresh and unpredictable, which is fitting given the long tradition of improvisation in jazz. Azuma’s delicate vocals lend poignancy to the more emotional songs such as “I Will Wait.” The compositions are densely packed, and each features multiple solos. On the title track, Tomura Kuniaki (saxophone) and Hirose Miki (trumpet) shine as they energetically ping-pong over Forest’s outstanding guitar solos. Lyrically, Forest comes off as a romantic and an optimist. “The World

Today,” an ode to looking on the bright side, is one of the album’s most upbeat cuts. Azuma sings about the stress and strife of modern existence but also dismisses it: “I look to the light that shines / I know I’ll find my way,” she sings. On “You & Me,” one of the album’s finest cuts, Azuma finds true harmony with the brass section as she sings of a relationship borne by a vast ocean of love. Lights Out is a record to suit almost any mood or situation. It’ll make your cocktail party sparkle or your road trip zoom. It might even make scrubbing your bathroom floor more enjoyable. Jesse Forest plays two local albumrelease shows this week: Thursday, August 11, at Radio Bean in Burlington, and Friday, August 12, at Positive Pie in Montpelier. Lights Out is available on iTunes.

album: “I’m bigger than my bones, my nerves, my cells, microorganisms and dirt, but I guess I just say that to feel like I have worth.” As this mix of philosophical doubts and cosmos-spanning wonder gets unpacked over the next nine tracks, Tatlock’s focus is almost relentless. There are occasional lapses into rapper-isms, but even those are spun into questions about scale, meaning and death. This is a smart, tightly composed piece of work. His spoken-word approach to the mic hasn’t changed much. And despite

the more spacious production, there are a few awkward performances here. On “Knotted//Needless,” especially, it sounds as if he’s reciting something he wrote over a faster beat. The delivery is so stilted that it often overwhelms the lyrics. “Matterless” is both the most experimental track and the hardest to sit through. Over little more than a sparse guitar arpeggio, Tatlock weaves a plea for enlightenment in constant eighth-note bursts. It doesn’t quite cohere and never reaches farther. When he’s locked in, though, Tatlock’s soft flow is persuasive. “Shiver” is a return to his acoustic roots with the Blind Continuum, delivering another spaced-out political diatribe over Aidan Powell’s guitar. It sounds out of place on a project of such psychedelic aspirations, but it would kill in any coffee shop in America. Tatlock promptly gets back to business with one of the highlight tracks, “Plastic Makes Perfect.” It’s a big, Def Jux-flavored stomper with

an audible Aesop Rock influence — especially once his cadence pivots on the second verse. This reprises into “And Perfection Is Worthless,” which is underwhelming by comparison but still heavily adorned with synth bombs and huge washes of stereophonic sound. Overall, Amoeba & Andromeda is one of the most distinctive, confidently unique debuts in Vermont rap history. At the same time, the young rapper is still a product of his influences — it’s hard to miss the fact that the songwriting and cadence of Minnesota freestyle legend Eyedea are huge inspirations. Tatlock has a lot of room to grow into himself, but he’s also got the time — and inclination — to do just that. Amoeba & Andromeda by Tatlock is available digitally at tatlockmusic. bandcamp.com. Physical copies of the CD, available at Tatlock shows and local record stores, come with a fold-out poster of the cover art by Dan Bandit — better known as GHOSTSHRIMP.

On the cover of his newest album, Lights Out, former Vermonter Jesse Forest sits proudly with his guitar, his signature instrument. He’s a dead ringer for early-career Elvis Costello, but instead of infectious New Wave punk, he plays breezy pop-jazz. Forest is an accomplished performer, composer and arranger, and he’ll even give you guitar lessons — if you’re in Japan, that is. After years of playing professionally in Vermont and New York City, Forest has been living abroad since 2010. He’s jumped into the Japanese jazz community and shows no signs of returning to his previous life in the Green Mountains. Unlike the zany shibuya-kei Japanese

Tatlock is a Charlotte native and Burlington-based hip-hop artist who first appeared on the scene as one half of the Blind Continuum. In 2015, that minimalist duo released Soliloquist’s Dilemma, pairing rap with guitar progressions. Since then, Tatlock has been cultivating the songs for Amoeba & Andromeda, his solo debut. There is no boom and very little bap on the menu here. Producer Ben Mayock opted to forgo the systempumping genre standards and instead delivers dynamics more akin to those of vintage vinyl. This important touch helps the album shine. The first track is titled “Infinity x i3,” which should clue you in to the metaphysical ruminations to come. After a slow build of burbling guitar swells and delay feedback, Tatlock introduces himself with a riff that encapsulates the themes of this short

the simple reason that women can pay their own way now. In the 1970s, when a woman got divorced, she lost the ability to have her own credit card. This is true. As for men, you probably are having people assume you’re a giant man-baby who can’t do laundry or cook without a woman. Honestly, people are boring and basic. And “obnoxious” is too kind a word for them. They’re dangerously small-minded. I’m not single. I’m in a relationship, really happy, and deeply in love with someone I’ve been in love with for years. But I am unmarried, and so to some people I might as well be alone in the woods eating bark. I find that, at a certain age, unless someone is married, their relationships aren’t taken seriously. When I’ve been what I call “single single” — meaning not just legally unmarried but without a partner at the time — it hasn’t been a problem for me. It’s been welcome alone time, self-discovery time. I find it odd when people who are single single are depressed about it. How can you just blindly be longing for “someone” to be in your life romantically? People are beating themselves up over a concept that they haven’t achieved. There’s no perfect way to go through life. That’s why I try not to define myself

BELLA’S BARTOK.

as unmarried or childless. I was happy being unmarried in 2011 when I first wrote jokes about it because I was being sued up the wazoo going through a divorce. I would have been mentally ill back then to have dreamt of getting remarried right away — or at all — because divorce is expensive. And yet, that’s the only thing people asked me. “Would you get married again?” It’s like I had a finger fall off and people were frantic: “Please get that thing reattached! You’re losing blood!” SD: You’ve said in other interviews that you sometimes wish you hadn’t included some of the material on your 2011 album Hail to the Freaks because it’s since evolved and become better. Given the beneﬁt of experience, how do you judge when material is ready for a special or album? JK: Yes! One of my bits from Hail ended up on my Netflix special, I’m Gonna Die… — do you like the obnoxious way I abbreviate my own work? But it’s much bigger and very different from the original joke. I think that it’s not so much about judging when something is ready but being at a different place in my career. Back in 2010, when I recorded Hail to the Freaks, there wasn’t an opportunity for me to have a comedy special

air worldwide, like with Netflix. I just made albums every few years, and the point of the albums was, “This is where I am right now in my comedy.” And I intentionally put newer concepts on the album, because the way I work out new material is by riffing onstage, and I wanted to show some of that. I’m filming another comedy special this October, and right now I’m perfecting the bits that will be on it. I wish I had more years to make them perfect, but I’ve been on tour with this material for over a year. I just have to learn to accept that the minute the special airs, I’ll think of another funny tag for a joke. That’s the beauty of live comedy: I can do that joke with the new tag for live audiences. SD: In the dedication of the new book, you ask your parents not to read it. Have they? If so, what did they think? If not, do you think they will?˛ JK: My dad definitely hasn’t read it. I don’t think he read my first book, either. My mom keeps saying she wants me to send her a copy. I keep telling her that if she wants to read it she has to take matters into her own hands and buy her own. So, last time I checked, she hadn’t read it. They are coming to my gig at the Vermont Comedy Club on Saturday

night. One of my sisters lives in Vermont, so they’re visiting both of us. For some reason, I don’t mind saying anything in front of them onstage. But I don’t want them reading about any part of my sex life in my book. It’s weird. SD: Last question: In however many years from now, if they do a “Drunk History” on the 2016 presidential election, which actors get cast as the major players in the reenactment scenes? JK: Ha! Great question. Horrible question for me because I don’t know names of actors, or even who anyone is. So just know that this answer involved, like, a solid 15 minutes of thought and Google. Meryl Streep as Hillary Clinton. Matthew McConaughey in a white wig as Bill Clinton. Steve Martin as Donald Trump. Carmen Electra as Melania Trump. Christopher Lloyd as Bernie Sanders.

ll art is, in some way, about line crossing. Even the most placid landscape painting or haphazard snapshot privileges the artist’s hand and imagination over the “real.” As if to emphasize this need to cross boundaries, we use the word “transcendent” as a high compliment of creative output. Curators and central Vermont artists M. Angelo Arnold and Gowri Savoor have applied the vague title “A Journey Across Boundaries” to a strong exhibition of 10 regional artists at Randolph’s spacious Chandler Gallery. The show features works by Arnold and Savoor themselves, along with Galen Cheney, Jason Galligan-Baldwin, Karen Henderson, Kerrin McCadden, Rachel Moore, Evan Premo, Jason Swift and Mary Zompetti. Artists’ statements identify in relatively plain terms which boundary each work addresses: Some are political borders, others dichotomies between public and private, or past and present. McCadden’s installation of ordinary furniture and household items is arranged in a tight cluster at the back of the gallery. These objects, taken from her home, are emblazoned with excerpts from McCadden’s awardwinning poetry collection Landscape With Plywood Silhouettes. The combination is surprisingly profound, largely because of her skill as a poet. For “Oak Dresser: Bone China,” McCadden has placed segments of the poem “Bone China” in the drawers of a dresser 3 that once belonged to her grandmother. To read the

poem, a viewer must open and close the drawers from top to bottom, combining a mundane physical action with new discoveries. McCadden’s narrative is about the rupture of divorce. In “Wall Light: How to Miss a Man,” an illuminated, wall-mounted frame features a poem excerpt whose subject matter melds the lake as a physical boundary, sewing as a barrier mender and the precise lines of a graph.

REVIEW

1. “Grand Isle Home #1,” color print by Mary Zompetti 2. “Forgotten,” mixed media on wood by Gowri Savoor 3. “The Skills You Need: How to Use a Cross-Cut Saw,” graphite and oil bar on paper by Jason Swift

McCadden writes, “You need to be a graph. A grid. Numbers are perfect. You can draw two / lines on a graph that can never touch. This is what you are building.” McCadden’s choice to place text on domestic objects dissolves the boundaries between the artist’s physical and emotional interiors. A few other artists extend, in one way or another, this vein of domesticity through the show. If furniture can be “queered,” Arnold has done it with “Sunday’s Best,” a six-foot-tall anthropomorphic sculpture made of furniture components. The bipedal figure stands defiantly atop a plush footstool, boasting lace and tassel accessories and a very large chair-leg phallus. The work is sexual and strange, and joyfully flaunts its rejection of the principle of furniture as functional object.

In his artist’s statement, which reads a bit like a Facebook rant, Arnold proclaims, “The main focus of this work is to bring a poetic, three-dimensional narrative that states, ‘Do not fear different religions, skin tones, sexuality, and the corporate police state that has set the boundaries…’” The work that most closely approximates a literal boundary is Arnold’s “Do Not Cross,” which looks like four wooden folding chairs piled together and stretched to the sky. The “seats” of the bench-like sculpture are high enough that viewers can pass under them, if they dare to cross. Such feisty goading plays into Arnold’s “The Times,” as well. A hollow trunk of translucent plastic approximately three feet high and four feet long has been locked with a small golden padlock — a Pandora’s box begging to be opened. The contents — if any — remain a mystery. Home is the subject of Zompetti’s series of altered photographs. In “Grand Isle Home #1,” the artist’s bright-pink 1875 farmhouse stands out against a blue sky. Rather than present the photo as a

Cheney complicates any meditation on hard lines. Her approximately 10-foot-square wall-mounted collage “The Day That Wasn’t Yesterday” is a feast of color, edges and textures. The Middlesex artist has torn up previously painted canvases and layered them in a wild remix. The work is unified by its own logic of disarray, shot through with orange and black lines; an imposing circle of navy paint dominates the lower right quadrant. Cartography is a source of inspiration for both Moore and Savoor. The new director of Helen Day Art Center in Stowe, multimedia artist Moore distills the topic of geographical boundaries down to stark street maps in “Michail Psellou.” It is drawn in thick black lines on layered, translucent vellum. Her statement explains that these are streets with which she became familiar during a stint in Thessaloniki, Greece, in 2009-10. In contrast, Savoor’s territories are three-dimensional and brightly colored. The sculptor has long used elements found in nature to create evocative wallhung and installation pieces. Here she deploys the conventions of map making to construct what appear to be imaginary places. In “Diaspora,” an undulating surface of blue, 3D-printed plastic pins of various heights, with heads the size of gumballs, is attached to a wallmounted board. The pins rise from a fluid topographic landscape painted in pink, purple, blue and gray. The piece suggests infinite change and movement. Arnold and Savoor have assembled works that roam widely among geographical and emotional landscapes and demonstrate that the two can be inseparable. The territory explored here can feel overwhelming. Overall, though, “A Journey Across Boundaries” reminds us that humans have an inherent need to categorize. For better or worse, the constant identifying, imagining and crossing of lines is a bedrock pattern of our lives — and a rich terrain for artists to explore, interpret and disrupt.

“pure” document, Zompetti has manipulated the negative so its perspective is wavy, and sprinkles of small, red-edged dots make the house seem about to burst into flames. Like memory, the image is fickle and in flux. Scrag Mountain Music cofounder Premo offers “Reflection,” a musical composition about the absence — or destruction — of home. It was created shortly after Hurricane Katrina, which Premo’s statement describes as “a time when the borders of land and sea were all but eliminated.” Played on the double bass, the piece evokes both wistfulness and hope. Two paintings by Swift, “The Skills You Need: How to Use a Cross-Cut Saw” and “The Skills You Need: How to Use the Hammer,” face each other across the gallery. They feature enlarged renderings of instructional diagrams for using household tools, on a background of deep-yellow rectangles. Juxtaposed with the contemporary color field, the universally recognizable didactic images become absurd. A sharp line of color contrast separates each paired diagram and color block. Galligan-Baldwin employs a similar compositional technique in two of his acrylic paintings, titled “Journey #4” and “Journey #5.” Here the dominant color fields are a cloudy teal and a dusty pink, respectively. Razor-sharp slices of color — in a palette of jawbreaker-esque pastels — occupy the canvases’ top third. For this artist, a Norwich University assistant professor, the hard line between fields is transmutable, however. In each work, one small drop of the paintings’ top motifs descends into the monochrome field that takes up their bottom two thirds — suggesting rebellion, or perhaps happenstance. In Henderson’s subtly hued stitched and woven fiber art, a defining element of landscape and horizon invokes the line-as-boundary. The Montpelier artist’s 40-by-70-inch mounted “Storm Lifting” consists of five heavily stitched panels sewn to a larger panel depicting hazy gray mountains. The poetic implication is that earth and sky are connected by needle and thread. The work’s rough symmetry makes it hard not to think, As above, so below.

movies Suicide Squad ★

s a boy, I watched “Superman” every day after school. You know, the one played by George Reeves. Whom Ben Affleck played so affectingly in Hollywoodland (2006). Later, I watched the Batman series. The one on TV, not the franchise in which the latest incarnation of the Caped Crusader is played by Ben Affleck. My point is that, by the time I’d reached adulthood, I’d gotten the whole guys-in-tights-and-capes thing out of my system and therefore had minimal interest in movies like Daredevil (2003), which starred — guess who — Ben Affleck. So I’ve been nonplussed as I’ve watched the movie industry morph into the superhero industry over the past decade. The Walt Disney Company bought Marvel Entertainment in 2009. Bet you didn’t realize that all this time you’ve been watching Spider-Man, Thor and the Hulk, you’ve been watching Disney pictures. We’ve become a nation of adults who never outgrew movies from the house the Mouse built. I wonder what the psychiatrists would say. DC Entertainment is Marvel’s closest rival, and it has consistently come in a distant second. Suicide Squad is its all-in bid to steal the summer’s thunder. The movie basically flips the script of The Avengers (2012), Joss

Whedon’s $1.5 billion international smash, which teamed the world’s mightiest good guys to save the world from a silly supernatural threat. This time, the world’s most dangerous villains are teamed to save the world from an even sillier supernatural threat. It may be profitable, but it ain’t pretty. It’s a mirthless, moronic mess. Unlike the film’s creators, I’ll be brief: A government official (Viola Davis) has a brainstorm. She’ll assemble a force composed of imprisoned miscreants and metahumans and use them as a weapon against anything the military can’t handle. In exchange for reduced sentences (another brainstorm), the bad guys go along with the plan. Of course, a silly supernatural threat conveniently arises the minute the motley crew is formed. And the next thing you know, Will Smith, Margot Robbie, Jai Courtney, Jay Hernandez and Adam Beach — you get the idea, right? Smith and Robbie are the only A-listers — are battling an army of faceless, rubbery demons using automatic rifles and a baseball bat. That’s correct. With one exception, the Squad’s members don’t actually possess superpowers. Smith is just a really good shot. Robbie swings a mean Louisville Slugger. Courtney (I swear I’m not making this up) throws a boomerang at attackers.

MESS HYSTERIA The latest addition to the DC Entertainment universe may be selling tickets and setting records, but one thing it’s definitely not doing is entertaining.

The action is a been-there-done-that yawn, the obligatory wisecracks fall flat, and the CGI work looks like outtakes from Ghostbusters. The original. The only thing lamer is Jared Leto’s cameo as the Joker. Let’s just say the performances of Jack Nicholson and Heath Ledger are in no danger of being eclipsed. Did I mention an unbelievable amount of screen time is devoted to Chanel model Cara Delevingne standing in front of a green screen playing a 7,000-year-old witch who wants … to tell the truth, I never did figure out what? Or that an unbelievable amount of Robbie’s posterior is exposed by her costume and leered at by the camera almost continuously?

David Ayer (Fury) wrote and directed, but you can’t really blame him for this travesty. He just followed the blueprint DC handed him for its long-planned version of the Marvelverse. The real culprit is an influential Hollywood player who’s joined DC’s team in a big way. He starred in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, he’s been hired to produce the upcoming Justice League film, and he played a role in Suicide Squad, both on screen and behind the scenes as producer. Both of those roles went uncredited, and deserved to. Yup, you guessed it — it’s our old buddy Ben Affleck. RI C K KI S O N AK

Nine Lives ★

hat do you say about a film starring Kevin Spacey as a talking cat? Frankly, the best qualities of this family comedy from director Barry Sonnenfeld (the Men in Black series) are that it doesn’t exceed 90 minutes and gives Christopher Walken a chance to say the words “poopy box.” Say them he does, with much aplomb, playing Felix Perkins, a magical pet-shop owner who enjoys using his furry friends to teach nasty people lessons. At such moments of outright absurdity, Nine Lives becomes so awful it’s almost awesome. In this case, the guy being schooled is corporate tycoon Tom Brand (Spacey), whose sins include Trumpian arrogance, gross neglect of his wife (Jennifer Garner) and daughter (Malina Weissman), and relentless mocking of his grown son from a first marriage (Robbie Amell), who doesn’t meet his dad’s standards of manliness. Guilt-tripped into buying his daughter the one birthday gift she craves — a kitty-cat — Brand stumbles into Perkins’ pet shop and comes out with a blue-eyed, bad-tempered Siberian named Mr. Fuzzypants. The CEO’s mood fails to improve when a freak accident somehow lands his consciousness inside the cat’s furry form, while his own body languishes in a coma. At this point, Spacey switches to voice acting, the cat becomes the star, and predictable shenanigans ensue. Since no one

CAT GOT HIS TONGUE Mister Fuzzypants confiscates Garner’s car keys in a scene from this comedy with scarcely a whisker of fun.

can hear Mister Fuzzypants’ acerbic human voice except Walken’s character, the man-cat is reduced to guzzling whiskey for courage, seeking attention by crapping outside the litterbox, and generally giving his family hell. Since he remains the same jerk he always was, our sympathy for his plight quickly flatlines. Nine Lives opens with a montage of cat videos and features cameos from YouTube stars such as Lil BUB, making an obvious bid to capitalize on the popularity of online fe-

lines. Yet no one involved seems to have realized that what people like about cat videos is, well, cats. Real ones, in all their grace and dignity and comic obsessiveness with shiny objects, not digitally generated cats performing antics that cats can’t do. The film does get laughs from the sheer weirdness of part-CG Mr. Fuzzypants, who comes across as half cat and half supernatural abomination, with a wonderful vocabulary of earsplitting yowls. But once he’s

learned to use the “poopy box” properly, Brand is pretty much done with the whole acclimating-to-being-a-cat thing, and it’s time for a misbegotten corporate intrigue plot to limp to its end. Because Brand’s wife, son and daughter have been written as sickly sweet stereotypes, it’s difficult to care whether he learns to appreciate their company. The film’s five writers appear to have given up on the whole “lessons learned” thing, too. By the end, we’re asked to root for Brand against a renegade employee who uses his boss’ absence as an opportunity to launch an IPO. Never mind that our hero’s business ambition seems mainly to consist of a narcissistic obsession with building the northern hemisphere’s tallest, most phallic building. This is a Scrooge story that suggests Scrooge’s greed is just fine, as long as he remembers to hug his daughter after work — in other words, perhaps, a too-apt Scrooge story for our time. While Fuzzypants’ whirling-dervish act may amuse cat-loving kids, the film doesn’t have much to offer anyone else. A career low for Spacey, it’s likely to be remembered best for the brief scenes with Walken, who somehow manages to preserve his spacy hauteur even in scenes where he’s lecturing a sardonic feline. The film may be about as smart as a hairball, but he’s the cat’s meow. MARGO T HARRI S O N

I'm just going to take a wild guess and say that any movie in which Seth Rogen voices a talking hot dog is going to be pretty offbeat. This animated comedy set in a supermarket is definitely not for kids — it's for fans of the raunchy humor for which Rogen and his screenwriting partner, Evan Goldberg, are well-known. But behind all the naughty jokes and double entendres may lurk something serious: Early reviews suggest that the movie is about the foundations of faith. Well, that and mouthy meats. Kristen Wiig, Jonah Hill, James Franco, Bill Hader and many more comics contributed their voice talents.

REAL FREE WILL ASTROLOGY BY ROB BREZSNY AUGUST 11-17

Keep a pen and notebook or audio recorder near your bed to capture any clues that might arrive. On the morning after the fi th night, go to your kitchen sink and burn the envelope and hair in the flame of a white candle. Chant the words of power: “Catalytic revelations and insights are arriving.” The magic you need will appear within 15 days.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): This would be

LEO

(JULY 23-AUG. 22)

Let’s assume, for the sake of fun argument, that you do indeed have a guardian angel. Even if you have steadfastly ignored this divine helper in the past, I’m asking you to strike up a close alliance in the coming weeks. If you need to engage in an elaborate game of imaginative pretending to make it happen, so be it. Now let me offer a few tips about your guardian angel’s potential purposes in your life: providing sly guidance about how to take good care of yourself; quietly reminding you where your next liberation may lie; keeping you on track to consistently shed the past and head toward the future; and kicking your ass so as to steer you away from questionable influences. OK? Now go claim your sublime assistance!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You Geminis are

as full of longings as any other sign, but you have a tendency to downplay their intensity. How often do you use your charm and wit to cloak your burning, churning yearnings? Please don’t misunderstand me: I appreciate your refined expressions of deep feelings — as long as that’s not a way to hide your deep feelings from yourself. This will be an especially fun and useful issue for you to meditate on in the coming weeks. I advise you to be in very close touch with your primal urges.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Be vulnerable and sensitive as well as insatiable and irreverent. Cultivate your rigorous skepticism, but expect the arrival of at least two freaking miracles. Be extra nurturing to allies who help you and sustain you, but also be alert for those moments when they may benefit from your rebellious provocations. Don’t take anything too personally or literally or seriously, even as you treat the world as a bountiful source of gifts and blessings. Be sure to regard love as your highest law, and laugh at fear at least three times every day.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Here comes a

special occasion — a radical exemption that is so rare as to be almost impossible. Are you ready to explore a blessing you have perhaps never experienced? For a brief grace period, you can be free from your pressing obsessions. Your habitual attachments and unquenchable desires will leave you in peace. You will be relieved of the drive to acquire more possessions or gather further proof of your attractiveness. You may even arrive at the relaxing realization that you don’t require as many props and accessories as you imagined you needed to be happy and whole. Is enlightenment nigh? At the very least, you will learn how to derive more joy out of what you already have.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): In the coming

weeks, I suspect that life will attempt to move you away from any influences that interfere with your ability to discern and express your soul’s code. You know what I’m talking about when I use that term “soul’s code,” right? It’s your sacred calling; the blueprint of your destiny; the mission you came to earth to fulfi l. So what does it mean if higher powers and mysterious forces are clearing away obstacles that have been preventing you from a more complete embodiment of your soul’s code? Expect a breakthrough that initially resembles a breakdown.

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

you know people who flee from the kind of Big Bold Blankness that’s visiting you, but I hope you won’t be tempted to do that. Here’s my counsel: Welcome your temporary engageVIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Although youRide Outment with emptiness. Celebrate this opening Girls is a monthly may not yet be fully aware of your good intoride the unknown. Burlington bike hosted byEase Old into the absence.

Commune with the vacuum. Ask the nothingness to be your teacher. What’s the payoff? This is an opportunity to access valuable secrets about the meaning of your life that aren’t available when you’re feeling full. Be gratefully receptive to what you don’t understand and can’t control.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): I placed a

wager down at the astrology pool. I bet that sometime in the next three weeks, you Capricorns will shed at least some of the heavy emotional baggage that you’ve been lugging around; you will transition from ponderous plodding to curious-hearted sauntering. Why am I so sure this will occur? Because I have detected a shift in attitude by one of the most talkative little voices in your head. It seems ready to stop tormenting you with cranky reminders of all the chores you should be doing but aren’t — and to start motivating you with sunny prompts about all the fun adventures you could be pursuing.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): What you

are most afraid of right now could become what fuels you this fall. Please note that I used the word “could.” In the style of astrology I employ, there is no such thing as predestination. So if you prefer, you may refuse to access the rich fuel that’s available. You can keep your scary feelings tucked inside your secret hiding place, where they will continue to fester. You are not obligated to deal with them squarely, let alone find a way to use them as motivation. But if you are intrigued by the possibility that those murky worries might become a source of inspiration, dive in and investigate.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Are you ready for your midterm exam? Luckily I’m here to help get you into the proper frame of mind to do well. Now study the following incitements with an air of amused rebelliousness. 1. You may have to act a bit wild or unruly in order to do the right thing. 2. Loving your enemies could motivate your allies to give you more of what you need. 3. Are you sufficiently audacious to explore the quirky happiness that can come from cultivating intriguing problems? 4. If you want people to change, try this: Change yourself in the precise way you want them to change.
