seven years in prison. But McAllister later fired his lawyers, whom he blamed for pressuring him into the deal, and withdrew his plea. The case finally went to trial last week. His accuser testified that McAllister asked her, when she applied to work on his farm, if she would do “anything.” She said she was desperate for a place to live and ultimately agreed to a sex-for-rent scheme. Jurors repeatedly heard a phone call that state police had recorded in which the woman asks McAllister to promise not to engage in sexual acts that had caused her pain. “I can think about it,” he responds. McAllister’s new attorney, Bob Katims, surprised many by calling McAllister to the witness stand on Friday. The Franklin County farmer denied coercing the woman and said that she initiated a consensual sexual relationship with him after his wife died. He denied sexually assaulting her. Jurors deliberated for more than three hours before reaching a verdict. McAllister and Katims said they plan to appeal his conviction.

FAIR GAME 13

Check out this sequence of events. July 13, 11 a.m.: Gov. PHIL SCOTT holds a TV-friendly press conference for a program that will give token awards to environmentally responsible farms. July 13, evening: Scott competes in the Governor’s Cup race at Thunder Road, finishing 24th. It’s his fourth race in less than a month. July 14, morning: Scott arrives in Providence, R.I., for the National Governors Association’s annual conference. Now, consider this: The NGA conference began on the evening of July 12. There was a full day of speeches, workshops and meetings on the 13th, when Scott was visiting a farm and driving his stock car. Scott spokesman ETHAN LATOUR provided this explanation via email: “The Governor had meetings and a press conference, which kept [him] in the office until about 4:00 on Thursday before going to Thunder Road for the Governor’s Cup. Members from the Governor’s staff were at NGA on Thursday. The Governor went down early Friday morning and participated in the bulk of the conference’s agenda, including all of the governorsonly events.” Which makes it sound like Scott didn’t miss much. The conference schedule lists the following on the 13th: a session on attracting international investment, a workshop on developing a culture of innovation and a panel on curbing the opioid epidemic. All three are high priorities for the Scott administration, but not high enough to make him miss the chance to hand the Governor’s Cup to himself — which would have happened if he’d won the race. Plus, the meeting was a chance to

In the winter of 2016, the Brattleboro Reformer, Bennington Banner and Manchester Journal were in sorry shape due to years of cost-cutting by its hedgefund ownership. Then, in April, all three were purchased by a group of Massachusetts investors who touted their commitment to local journalism. They also bought the Pittsfield, Mass.-based Berkshire Eagle and almost immediately began revitalizing that paper. The efforts in southern Vermont began more slowly but have followed suit. The latest move is promoting GREG SUKIENNIK to managing editor of all three Vermont papers. Sukiennik had been serving as editor of the Journal. “The plan is to improve coverage,” he says. “The papers shrank over a period of time. You can’t gain it all back at once.” “We are investing to grow the business,” says KEVIN MORAN, executive editor of New England Newspapers, the corporate entity for all four papers. “We’ve reinvested, made the papers larger, redesigned the print editions and the websites.” Moran estimates that the Reformer has the equivalent of four full-time reporters and the Banner has five, while the weekly Journal is about to add a new editor/reporter to complement Sukiennik. In part, the growth is due to a partnership with VTDigger.org. The two entities share reporters MIKE FAHER in Brattleboro and JIM THERRIEN in Bennington. (Faher also works for the Commons, a weekly newspaper and online news service. I’d love to see his business card.) Moran says Sukiennik is the ideal person to lead the effort in southern Vermont. “He has a zest for local news,” Moran says. “Greg will get workflows in place and help us pinpoint areas of growth and opportunity.” Print journalism in southern Vermont had seriously atrophied under previous ownership. There are positive indicators now that weren’t there a year ago. That’s good news for all of Vermont. The local media are best positioned to serve their communities — and provide the rest of us with a window on the southern tier of our state. !

HILLARY GOMBAR

he last thing Hillary Gombar told Ali Muhina before the 11-year-old boy left her house in Winooski on July 11 was, “Find out from your mom if your sisters can go swimming.” Gombar, a mother of two, had met Ali at the Winooski Memorial Library in January. The Somali boy, who lived a few streets away, struck up a close friendship with her family and visited them every day. Ali didn’t know how to swim, and Gombar promised to teach him at the Maple Street Park & Pool in Essex Junction. She wanted his sisters to join them, but she wasn’t sure if they had bathing suits. She did not hear back from him that day. The following morning, Gombar and her husband learned that the boy had fallen into the Winooski River while playing with his friends, just hours after leaving their home. He was still missing. They rushed to Ali’s house and found his mother, Sofia Mohamed, wailing in grief. Ali’s father was already headed for the riverbank, to keep watch with relatives Christian Kibabu and family friends as divers prepared to resume the search for the boy’s body. Strong currents and a swollen river had hampered their efforts the previous night. Later that day, the Colchester Technical Rescue Team found the child’s body about 500 yards downstream from the place he was last seen. That evening, across the river in Burlington, at least 150 people gathered at Oakledge Park to attend a memorial vigil for Christian Kibabu. The 17-yearold rising senior at Burlington High School, whose family is from the Democratic Republic of Congo, had

drowned in Lake Champlain the day before Ali fell into the river. Although Christian could swim, his friend Bienfait Badibanga told Seven Days the teen had once said, “I get tired so quickly.” At the vigil, fellow players from the school’s state championship soccer team spoke about how hardworking and dedicated Christian was as a student and athlete. “He was a very amazing man who motivated everyone at every game,” said Arun Karki. “He supported us even if he didn’t play.”

The two drowning deaths in as many days stunned many people in the greater Burlington region. Because the two victims were from the New American community, public officials and service providers are discussing outreach to immigrant families about swimming and water safety. Last Friday, Burlington Mayor Miro Weinberger’s communications and projects coordinator, Katie Vane, and his chief of staff, Brian Lowe, convened a gathering of stakeholders to explore whether there’s a need for more water

and swimming safety resources in the community. “We do not know all of the circumstances that led to the tragic deaths of Christian Kibabu and Ali Muhina,” Vane wrote in an email last Thursday. “Regardless of these details, we are concerned that some of our immigrant and refugee children may have grown up in circumstances where water and swimming safety resources and opportunities were very limited.” Vane described the meeting as productive and said two groups have

Eric Farrell on Liberty House’s rooftop veranda

The development wouldn’t be happening at all if Burlington College were still in business. In 2014, the school, mired in debt, announced plans to sell much of its 33 acres to Farrell for about $7.5 million. An opposition group, Save Open Space-Burlington, sprang up in response. In January 2015, 200 people, including environmentalists and Abenaki drummers, protested the building plan at Burlington City Hall. Concerned citizens reached out to Gil Livingston, the president of the Vermont Land Trust. Livingston helped to bring Farrell, Mayor Miro Weinberger, and the nonprofit housing organizations Champlain Housing Trust and Cathedral Square together for negotiations. Livingston said he persuaded Farrell to take a six-month “time-out” to listen to community concerns. Farrell participated in many public meetings and met with individuals, too. One of them was Dee Bright Star, a Vermonter of Abenaki heritage who spoke out against the project at city hall. Farrell visited Bright Star twice at her Shelburne home and invited her to spend a day “purging” the orphanage, where many young children were abused. “He didn’t have to do that,” Bright Star said of Farrell, adding that she was

f Burlington developer Eric Farrell was nervous before an Act 250 preliminary hearing on July 10, he didn’t show it. The 70-year-old stood on a new rooftop veranda built atop the former Roman Catholic Diocese of Burlington orphanage on North Avenue, wearing one of his signature floral button-down shirts. He chatted easily with the three members of the commission that would decide the fate of the largest housing development in Burlington history. “Should have brought some wine,” the affable Farrell joked, as he touted the view of Lake Champlain and the Adirondack Mountains from Liberty House, the 65-unit apartment complex that now occupies the historic building. Renters started moving in on July 1. Sure enough, once the hearing began later that morning in one of the vacant fifth-floor apartments, all the signs seemed to favor Farrell. Only a handful of citizens turned out to oppose the development, a far cry from the outrage that slowed the project during local permitting in 2015. Three individuals and one group requested recognition by the commission to be able to participate in the process and, potentially, to appeal the final decision. They voiced concerns about traffic, stormwater runoff and environmental degradation. But there was no defiance of the sort the Burlington Town Center redevelopment plan engendered. In that case, members of the Coalition for a Livable City packed meeting after meeting and held public protests to assert that the 14-story project was out of scale with Burlington. A lawsuit to block the project was settled just two weeks ago, clearing the way for the tall mall. The Act 250 process is the final hurdle for Farrell’s Cambrian Rise, a 739-unit development on the lakefront property most recently owned by Burlington College. District 4 Act 250 environmental commission chair Tom Little said he expected the hearings, which will begin in August, to last no more than a few weeks. Farrell encouraged the expediency, noting that he wants to begin the first phase of construction this fall.

resigned, but not satisfied, with the end result. Meanwhile, Livingston and the other parties hashed out a deal: The VLT and the city would buy 12 acres along the water, including Texaco Beach, for a public park; and CHT and the seniorhousing developer Cathedral Square would each construct one of the development’s 12 buildings, providing 146 units of affordable housing. In the end, the city council unanimously supported the plan to build on 21.6 acres. The project would have 739 units: 240 condos, 353 rentals and the 146 affordable units. The plan includes an additional 42-room hotel. “I drive my architects crazy,” said Farrell, noting that he sends late-night emails on the hotel, suggesting furniture styles and pump soap dispensers for the showers.

The July 1 opening of Liberty House marked the first phase of the development; because the structure already existed, the apartment complex didn’t require Act 250 approval. Farrell calls the units inside “the best of the best” — and they are priced accordingly. Though they tend to be small — one studio apartment has just 280 square feet — monthly rents range from $925 to $1,900. Farrell conducts tours of Liberty House with relish, showing off everything from bike-washing equipment and high-ceilinged studios to the bathroom tile and closet space. The tours end on the fifth floor with what he calls the “million-dollar view” from the sunset veranda. “If you have any relatives in Dannemora over there, you can wave to them,” he said, gesturing toward the

New York prison town across the lake. Thirty-one of the Liberty House units had been leased as of last week, and Farrell said he expected to fill the remainder by September 1. On July 12, Farrell moved one step closer to securing the final six-acre parcel abutting Liberty House — the land that Burlington College didn’t sell him. People’s United Bank, the sole bidder, bought the foreclosed land at a public auction for $3.1 million. Farrell said the purchase would allow him in turn to buy the essential parcel from the bank this fall. “Eric deserves credit” for brokering and managing such a complicated deal, according to Michael Monte, chief financial and operating officer for the CHT. “There’s nothing small going on here. It’s a large risk and a lot of moving parts.” Born and raised in Burlington, Farrell started working in real estate in 1970, right after earning a degree in business from Saint Michael’s College. He started Colchester-based Farrell Real Estate in 1975 and estimates he’s built about 800 units over four decades. The Cambrian Rise project — his most ambitious to date — would nearly double that total. He attributes the lack of strong, organized opposition to the “merits of the project.” Cambrian Rise is “an inclusive neighborhood,” he said matter-of-factly. “What about it is controversial?” Yet some people are still raising questions. Opponents maintain that the city and Farrell “railroaded the project through” the process, said Philip Pezeshki, a former member of Save Open Space who was one of a handful of people at the Act 250 hearing. In May, local engineer AJ Rossman, who owns a home across North Avenue from the property, decided to take action. He was concerned that the project had undergone only “token public engagement,” and he didn’t have the time to locate and decipher city permits and regulatory documents. He hired Erik Sievert, a grad student at the University of Vermont, as a “civic organizer” to found Cambrian Watch, an umbrella organization to investigate the process and educate citizens. More than half of the citizens present last week said they wouldn’t have known about the hearings if Sievert hadn’t posted a notice on Front Porch Forum. “For me, the question is … is the scale appropriate, and can a sensitive

environmental ecosystem take that burden?” Rossman said. It’s “truly to just allow the public to participate in a complex process that’s known well by the developers but not by those who are affected.” Cambrian Watch was the sole group seeking party status before the Act 250 commission last week. Farrell said he opposed it, and commission chair Little also questioned whether the organization, which has no official members, should be allowed to participate. In response, Cambrian Watch downgraded its request to “Friend of the Commission” status, which cannot appeal a final decision. Two of the three individuals who also applied for party status made their cases via email, which Little read aloud at the meeting. One came from Sharon McSweeney, who has lived across North Avenue from the property since 1993. In an interview two days later, she said she is worried about the traffic associated with the development because her kids walk to school. She’s also concerned about impacts on stormwater — and whether the project would increase her property value, and thus her taxes. “I’m not totally against it,” she said. “I’m just making sure it’s not going to be really heavy on us.” She also suggested that the project would destroy the social fabric of the neighborhood. “I’m not going to borrow a cup of sugar over there,” she said. City Councilor Dave Hartnett (DNorth District) said he hadn’t heard any complaints about the project from his constituents but also indicated that he has focused his energy recently on the controversial North Avenue bike lanes. “I haven’t really been paying attention,” he acknowledged. Several former members of Save Open Space said they hadn’t attended the Act 250 preliminary hearing because they weren’t aware it was happening. That “doesn’t mean they don’t care,” said Steve Goodkind, who played a key role in both the Coalition for a Livable City and Save Open Space. “But … you’re fighting a city, and you can only do so much.” !

sections, as well as new graveyards that will use proceeds from the sale of natural plots to conserve surrounding acres. The dead could share space with sugaring operations, tree farms or hayfields. But first, the organization has to allay a host of fears: that coyotes would scavenge for shallower, unprotected bodies; that some types of soils would inhibit decomposition; and that changing the layout of a graveyard to something other than rows of mowed grass dotted with shiny headstones would pose logistical challenges. “There are just unknowns,” said Patrick Healy, manager of Montpelier’s city cemeteries and president of the Vermont Cemetery Association. “We just want to know what the best practices are.” “A lot of the pushback is coming from the cemetery operators,” said Acciavatti, who toured the state last fall and winter advocating for the legal change. “There are a lot of misconceptions.” For Acciavatti, 34, dealing with death is a passion and a vocation. She runs a business called Ending Well, which offers end-of-life planning and counseling. She’s also a hospice volunteer and co-facilitates a monthly “death café” in Montpelier, where attendees sip tea and converse about mortality. She set out to become a neuroscientist. Then two close friends died in accidents shortly after she graduated from college. A year later, she was in a close-call crash herself. “The first thing the trooper said was, ‘You’re so lucky you didn’t die.’ That percolated inside me for a while,” Acciavatti said. Before she knew it, Acciavatti was making a business of the thing most people don’t want to talk about. With a soothing, nonjudgmental manner, Acciavatti manages to make talking about death easy. She hopes to take such conversations out of the shadows and into living rooms and dining rooms. “I used to joke that I was constantly ruining holiday dinners,” she said. “Now I’m everybody’s death friend.” On a beautiful Tuesday evening in June, a dozen like-minded people gathered at a Montpelier tea shop for the death café. Heavy at times, the conversation also focused on uplifting moments

red Cheyette plans to be buried in a hayfield next to his house in the town of Orange. His body will be wrapped in a simple cotton sheet and placed three and a half feet deep in the earth, with an oak sapling planted atop the grave. “So my body feeds the tree,” said the 86-year-old retired engineer and psychotherapist, who is peppier and more youthful looking than his years suggest. Cheyette has arranged what is known as a green, or natural, burial — rejecting the standard procedures of cemetery interments. There will be no embalming, no varnished coffin, no concrete vault, no polished headstone. He wants his body in the dirt and close to the surface. Despite a state law that took effect this month to make it easier for Vermonters to choose a green burial, Cheyette’s arrangements are possible only because he will be buried on his own property. He received permission from his town’s Board of Health. For others, planning a natural burial poses greater challenges: Advocates of green burials say they know of no cemeteries in Vermont that yet allow the green interments they envision. Passing the new law — which allows burials at a mere three and a half feet, where a more active biological soil mix facilitates rapid and natural decomposition — appears to have been the easy part. Now, supporters of the practice have to persuade dozens of cemetery operators to change policies. Many Vermont cemeteries require a five-foot burial depth and that coffins be placed inside buried concrete vaults, rules that preclude the simpler burials. But Michelle Acciavatti of Montpelier and a half dozen other green-burial advocates stand ready to convince cemetery operators to change their policies. They are forming a nonprofit organization, Green Burial Vermont, which will produce a manual of best practices. “The goal of the nonprofit is promoting environmental and socially conscious burials in Vermont,” Acciavatti said. The group’s efforts could change the traditional image of graveyards. Carl Anderson of West Berkshire, a wildlife biologist who is a member of Green Burial Vermont, said he envisions existing cemeteries adding green

families share as a loved one approaches the end. Cheyette is a regular attendee. He readily shared plans for his own burial. Having what he sees as an environmentally friendly afterlife plan is a comfort, he told the group. He, too, wants to change the notion that death is a taboo topic. “It makes me feel alive,” he said later, of the death café discourse. “I feel really good when I leave there.” Acciavatti said green burials pair well with her desire to open up discussion about death. “We’ve become so cut off from death,” she said. “It’s been medicalized. It’s been commercialized. It’s been taken out of the home.” In a traditional burial, an embalmed corpse is placed in a casket, which is then lowered five feet deep into a concrete vault and covered. The body decomposes, but the lack of contact with soil slows the process, wildlife biologist Anderson said. In the meantime, water interacts with the casket’s metal, varnish and paint, which pose a risk of contaminating groundwater, he said. Green burials are intended to bring

the body into closer contact with the soil. The unembalmed corpse is buried with no casket or in an unadorned wooden coffin. There is no concrete vault. Decomposition of soft tissue typically takes place within two years, depending on soil and hydrology, though bones take longer, Anderson said. “With a green burial, you’re trying to put the body as close to active biological layers as you can without letting scavengers get at it,” he said. Hundreds of green-burial sites around the country do that at three and a half feet, without a scourge of scavengers, he noted. Vermont requires that deceased livestock be buried under two feet of soil. But convincing cemetery operators to change their policies will take time, said Calais cemetery commissioner Jennifer Whitman. She joined the movement after hearing Acciavatti speak and would like her town to allow natural burials. “This is a slow process,” Whitman said. “This is going to be the next 10 years.” Just collecting contact information for the many cemetery operators throughout the state was a challenge,

n between shifts Monday afternoon, 13 Vermont State Police troopers, outfitted in beige and green, tentatively discussed their preferred pronouns. “Bob,” said Sgt. Bob Lucas. “Uh, ‘he.’” “I’m Steve. I go by ‘he,’” said Trooper Steve DiGregorio, a youthful officer. “My name is Andy,” said Cpl. Andy Leise, the only one who seemed at ease during the exercise. “I like to be referred to as ‘he.’” Spoiler alert: All 13 were “cis” — identifying with the gender assigned to them at birth. The officers sat in mismatched swivel chairs in the windowless office of a converted warehouse that serves as the Williston Barracks. Decorations in the room were sparse. A sign on the door in childish scrawl said “Blue Lives Matter, #VermontStatePolice.” The officers were taking a break from addressing domestic disputes and car crashes to participate in the Vermont State Police’s first-ever transgender training, at the behest of their station commander, Lt. Garry Scott. The freckled and friendly 17-year veteran of the force contacted the Pride Center of Vermont last June after a gunman killed 49 people at a gay nightclub in Orlando, Fla. Scott described the mass shooting as an “aha moment” that inspired him to bolster ties between his officers and the local LGBTQ community. He and Catarina Campbell — director of the Pride Center’s SafeSpace program, which assists victims of violence and abuse — hatched the idea of transgender trainings. (Scott couldn’t remember how LGBTQ issues were addressed during his training, but, he said, “I probably snickered through most of it.”) Campbell, a Middlebury College grad and self-described “brown queer person,” began the hourlong training by mentioning to the troopers that, “I almost wore gold combat boots today.” The officers seemed unsure of what to say. Sans gold boots, Campbell still stood out in the room dominated by identically dressed white men with crew cuts. She had a pierced septum and an asymmetrical haircut: black and buzzed on one side, wavy purple and silver on the

other. She wore a flowered dress and a black leather jacket. Ebullient and eager to talk about feelings — “I am deeply appreciative of and grateful for this time with you,” she told the troopers — Campbell would, eventually, get the taciturn crowd to open up. After introductions, Campbell (preferred pronouns: she/her or they/them) read aloud several stats: 2017 is on pace to be the deadliest year ever for LGBTQ people, according to the New York City Anti-Violence Project, and 66 percent of LGBTQ people who have interacted with law enforcement reported that officers were “indifferent or hostile.” “That’s what we’re here together to change,” Campbell said. Lucas politely interjected. “We hate being lumped into those categories … We resent those stats. We understand that they’re real, but we resent it because we don’t feel that way,” he said. “I guess it was just a little bit disheartening to know that there’s people out there feeling that way about us just because, obviously, we’re wearing these uniforms.” A lanky officer sitting in the back corner chimed in with a question. “I haven’t, in my two years here, encountered a situation where I had to investigate a hate-crime-related incident,” he said. “And I was just curious, since

you’re working, I guess, more closely with the community, if you have stories of people coming to you saying, ‘I was too afraid to make a report.’” “That has happened,” Campbell told him, and more than once. The phone rang, and an officer left to attend to a two-car crash in Jericho. His colleagues continued grappling with gender-identity issues. Traffic-stop data has consistently shown that troopers are more likely to pull over and cite people of color. As a result, the Vermont State Police have been working to root out racial bias within the ranks. Officers are required to record the race of whomever they pull over, but not their sexual orientation or gender identity. That’s understandable, but it leaves the police and public without any way of quantifying law enforcement’s potential bias toward LGBTQ people. Even without data, one can safely assume that there’s room for improvement in what’s long been a hyper-masculine profession — particularly in light of the paucity of “out” officers. Capt. Ingrid Jonas, director of fair and impartial policing and community affairs for the Vermont State Police, said she isn’t aware of any transgender officers or openly gay male officers among the

305-person force. Jonas participated in the training Monday. Campbell showed the predominantly male group a video of a cop pulling over a transgender woman whose driver’s license identified her as male. Rather than question the discrepancy, the officer casually asks whether she prefers to be called “sir” or “ma’am.” Even better, Campbell suggested, would have been to simply ask her how she wanted to be addressed — in case she identified as neither a sir nor a ma’am. “I found myself in that situation not too long ago,” DiGregorio volunteered later in the training. “My reaction was just to avoid the whole sir/ma’am, he/ she thing.” Campbell nodded encouragingly. At the end of the hour, she asked everyone to share a reflection about the training. Scott went first: “I’m embarrassed by behavior I’ve exhibited in the past, language that I’ve used and knowing I probably upset people along the way … I see it as an opportunity where I can move forward and hopefully fix some things.” When it was his turn, DiGregorio was ready: “Don’t be afraid to ask what somebody prefers.” !

Deaths Prompt Review « P.15 recent weeks. “Heavy rain this summer has caused our waterways to rise and currents to increase, so it’s even more important for all to be alert and careful as they enjoy our lakes, ponds and rivers this summer,” Public Safety Commissioner Tom Anderson said in a statement last Friday. On Sunday, Vermont State Police reported yet another drowning: David Clement, a 64-year-old Pittsfield, Mass., man, fell into Lake Champlain as he was returning a boat to a marina. Dodson hopes that Ali and Christian’s deaths will cause people to think about swimming as something other than simply a recreational pursuit. “Swimming and water safety are essential life skills,” he said in a statement last Friday. Such a shift in thinking is long overdue, according to Michael Hill Jr., coordinator of the Multicultural Youth Program at the Burlington-based Spectrum Youth & Family Services. More needs to be done to promote swim education among communities of color, he added.

Searching Lake Champlain for Christian Kibabu

Growing up in a poor, black household, Hill said, he opted for extracurricular activities that taught him skills and made him more employable. Individuals of color, he continued, tend to perceive swimming and other water sports as hobbies that “white people do.” Jobs and programs around water-based sports should be created for people of color, Hill said. Seeing older youths and adults as lifeguards and swim coaches would give children a new attitude about swimming, he continued. Accommodation for Muslim girls, such as providing allfemale swimming classes, will go a long way toward making swimming

instruction culturally acceptable, Hill added. The drowning deaths have galvanized many in the community. Friends of the victims have set up fundraisers to help the two families cover funeral expenses. Others want to set up a scholarship in memory of the youths. The Burlington High School soccer team will retire Christian’s jersey, No. 6. His friend Bienfait, a musician, plans to write a tribute song. Burlington Parks, Recreation & Waterfront has postponed the kickoff event for the O.N.E Community Center out of respect for Christian’s family and peers. He was close to the youths the center serves.

Mellisa Cain, the center’s program director, met Christian five years ago at the New North End Youth Center. She described the Congolese teen, who moved to the U.S. with his family when he was 5, as “an old soul” and “a great artist” who wanted to play soccer in college. “He was very determined to be a success in terms of going to school and making his family proud,” she said. Sean McMannon, the superintendent of Winooski School District, recalled Ali as an ideal student. “In the classroom, Ali was a true model of [the] ‘Winooski has HEART’ motto,” McMannon wrote in an email. “Ali was Honest, Engaged, Appropriate, Responsible and Timely in his academic endeavors.” McMannon described Ali as a serious reader who had “such vitality for everything he did.” !

Attorney General Donovan: DMV Facial Recognition Program Illegal The Vermont Department of Motor Vehicles’ facial recognition program violates state law and should remain suspended, Attorney General T.J. Donovan said Tuesday. Donovan said the program, which includes 2.7 million images of license applicants and has been made available to police, violates a 2004 law barring the DMV from using “biometric identifiers” in granting identification cards. The DMV suspended use of facial recognition in May after Seven Days, using documents uncovered by the American Civil Liberties Union of Vermont, published a story on the program. The DMV should not restart the program unless it gets legislative approval, Donovan said. “This is about balancing public safety with the privacy Attorney General T.J. Donovan rights of Vermonters,” Donovan said. The ACLU said the facial recognition program, launched in December 2012, was “subject to abuse” by law enforcement. “This is a victory for civil liberties,” James Lyall, executive director of the ACLU of Vermont, said in a statement. “We now ask Gov. [Phil] Scott to act consistently with the attorney general’s conclusion, and we call on the legislature to take all necessary action to permanently protect the privacy and civil liberties of all Vermonters from government abuse.” In an interview Tuesday, DMV Commissioner Robert Ide said he would ask lawmakers to consider crafting a law that would allow the agency to restart the program. “We would like to work with interested partners in the legislature to see if we can’t find the proper language to provide safeguards to see if people will be comfortable turning the system back on,” Ide said. The technology identifies individuals by examining facial features — such as the position of the eyes — that cannot be easily altered and don’t change with age. The DMV initially billed facial recognition, funded with $900,000 in federal grant money, as a fraud prevention program. DMV officials said it would not be shared with law enforcement. But police have used the database on at least 118 occasions, Seven Days reported.

South Burlington School District Fights Suit Over Rebels Petition School’s out, but the South Burlington Rebels saga is still in session. The school district on Monday sought the dismissal of a lawsuit brought in June by supporters of the controversial Rebels moniker who want a public vote on the name change. In the Vermont Superior Court filing, school district attorney Pietro Lynn argued that the school board had every right to make its decision, despite a successful petition drive by Rebel Alliance members who demanded that residents have a say in the name change. The school board voted unanimously to drop the name on February 1 after critics called it divisive and tainted by racist associations with the Confederacy. Supporters saw it as a harmless and unifying tradition. They founded the Rebel Alliance and launched the petition drive as part of their bid to retain the name. One petition asked for a vote on the name itself, while a second called for a prohibition on spending public funds to change the name. Students, and later the school board, voted on and approved the new mascot: the Wolves.

The board announced at a May meeting that it would not put the questions to a vote, which triggered outrage. Rebel Alliance leaders called the decision cowardly and said that it violated due process. “South Burlington Rebels were taught to fight for what they believed was right and to never give up, and we are continuing that proud tradition,” Stacey Savage, who serves as the Rebel Alliance spokeswoman, wrote in a press release shortly after filing the lawsuit in June. The district’s motion argued that the lawsuit asks the school district to hold a vote about a symbol that “many consider racist.” To retain such a symbol could alienate students and families and put the district in violation of state and federal laws designed to prevent racism, the motion said.

Mark and Marianne Dubie were on vacation in Arizona when the invitation came last Wednesday to display their Dubie Family Maple products at a 50-state Made in America showcase at the White House. “We really didn’t believe it at first,” Mark Dubie said by phone Monday afternoon. Despite logistical challenges, the husband-and-wife team accepted the invite and scurried off to Staples in Phoenix to create poster boards championing Vermont’s sweet stuff. They connected Monday in Washington, D.C., with Dubie’s brother, Brian, who flew in with two suitcases carrying 70 pounds of maple syrup and maple candies. Later in the day, the three Dubies welcomed President Donald Trump, Vice President Mike Pence and several hundred other visitors to their exhibit in the White House Blue Room. “It was really cool,” Mark told Seven Days after leaving the White House. “The president spent five minutes with us.” The brothers Dubie said they didn’t know how they were chosen to represent Vermont. They were told that White House staff googled Vermont maple syrup and found the business that Mark and Marianne co-own. Brian said there was no indication that his political background — the Republican served as Vermont’s lieutenant governor from 2003 to 2011 and as the party’s 2010 candidate for governor — was a factor. He carefully answered a reporter’s questions about his support for Trump. He praised the president’s focus on the economy and trade, and said he was honored to represent the family business. Otherwise, Brian quipped, “I’m just the guy who carries the syrup.” Mark was less guarded in his support for the commander-in-chief. “He’s very popular with me,” he said. “I think he’s making great changes.” Mark is hoping, for example, that Trump will make it easier for Vermont maple syrup producers to sell their product in Canada. “If some tax changes could level the playing field, it would give Vermont sugarers the opportunity to go north,” he said.

David J. “Sully” Sullivan, noted wine-enthusiast, world-traveler, beach bum and overall bon vivant, departed this Earth from the island of St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands, on July 6, 2017. He will be, and is already, sorely missed by one and all. David’s World Tour began on Groundhog Day, 1963, in Binghamton, N.Y., as the seventh of eventually eight children of Jeannine M. and Thomas J. Sullivan. Soon afterward, the family moved to Burlington, where David spent his formative years at Champlain Elementary School, Christ the King and Rice Memorial High School, from which he graduated in 1982. Fun fact: David was an altar boy at St. Anthony Church in Burlington and a Boy Scout. In 1984, Dave moved to Hawaii’s Big Island, where he worked in a number of capacities at the Mauna Lani Bay Hotel & Bungalows. It was there that he developed an interest in, and experience with, fine wine and cuisine. From there, he traveled from coast to coast and beyond, plying his trade as sommelier and food and beverage manager at fine-dining restaurants and exclusive resorts in such locations as Hawaii; Belize; Jackson Hole, Wyo.; Phoenix, Ariz.; Vermont; New York; and St. Croix. It should be noted that David loved Green Chartreuse. Not Yellow. Only Green. David was an avid outdoorsman who loved hiking, biking, paragliding and skiing — which he did all over the world, from the summit of Mauna Kea in Hawaii to Pico Peak in Vermont. In the tropics, he loved to swim — diving for lobster; fishing for ahi, mahi mahi and opakapaka; and grilling his catch on the beach while enjoying the sunset. Most of all, David loved his family and friends. They’re too innumerable to list, but here’s a few: Rico “de

The Virginia artists don’t have a set agenda or designated walls to paint on during those stops; the only planned mural is the one in Burlington. But that doesn’t mean they won’t be working. As Herr’s press liaison, Ali Greenberg, explained, “The focus of the tour is manifold: One, to paint murals of women, scattered like apple seeds, in as many places as they can. Two, to make art as they go, no matter what — on the truck, in their sketchbooks, etc. And three, to explore and seek out connections with women and organizations who this project resonates with.” BSJ owner STU SPORKO said the decision to host Herr and Apple was an easy one. “We support local art,” he explained. The garage door and adjacent wall space that the women will paint is behind BSJ’s College Street storefront. The area is currently covered with graffiti. “Once it’s all cleaned up, it’ll really brighten it up,” Sporko said. “A lot of people take that route as a shortcut [between streets].” When Herr isn’t chipping away at visual indicators of the patriarchy, she runs a muralpainting company called Herr Suite with Apple’s help. Apple is also an illustrator and sign painter with her own business, Lucky Signs RVA. “This project and trip is my first foray into a serious noncommissioned work,” Herr said. “My full-time job is mural painting via freelance commission, which has allowed me to support myself and save some money for personal ventures.” !

At the store, which recently moved from Pine Street to College Street, the artists plan to host a party on Thursday, July 27, “to introduce ourselves and invite people to be involved,” Herr said. She and Apple will then paint through August 1 or so. Herr explained that the project “started as me doodling strip-club signs — I think they’re bizarre and sort of darkly comical,” she said. “They’re essentially ads to sell women as products, but they’re so simple that, out of context, they’re downright celebratory.” The images were hard to shake, she added. “They started to symbolize a lot of the problems I see with how women are portrayed in art and advertisements.” One of those problems, in Herr’s mind, is “the extreme focus on a narrow A smaller mural painted by Emily Herr and range of body type and lifestyle — flawSarah Apple for the “Girls!

They left Richmond on July 15 and are stopping in Washington, D.C., and New York City on the way to Burlington, where the connection to BSJ was made through a fellow artist and friend.

GRACE AMBER

One of her goals, Amber said, has been to “repattern the pathway I take when I’m in my hometown [and to make] a new way to interact with people that feels more authentic to my interests.” To date, she has gone on nine “trash missions” in Vermont, including one to a busted old car in the woods near this writer’s home. During these excursions, Amber often records her conversations and ambient sounds, which she later listens to when making sculpture from her findings. “I try to view my hands as another weathering agent,” she said of working with her scavenged materials, likening the effects of her intervention to those of the sun or rain. Amber identified much of the trash she’s witnessed here as originating from the 1920s through 1960s: a lot of metal, cans, old shoes and plastic. “[Vermont] trash tells a story about borders really strongly,” she said. Often, trash mounds are located just at the edge of an earlier property or Jacob and Kristin Albee along a river, she explained.

The fostering of the state’s “quaint and perfect” image, Amber said, “can also suppress the reality of human experience.” After each trash mission, Amber takes field notes on her experience. She’s observed that her delight in someone else’s trash has proved infectious. Her guides, she said, have been able to “celebrate the finding with me.” She’s learned a great deal about the area where she grew up and was thrilled to find out about the now-deceased Boyd sisters, known locally for making sculpture from trash gathered in the woods.

Though Amber’s final installation will remain in process until Thursday’s opening, she did say that her assemblages will be made solely of findings from her trash excursions. This parameter has led her to innovations such as crafting rope from rubber tires to fasten pieces together. When she arrived in early July, Amber reached out to friends and family about her project and put up a call for “trash guides” — people who could show her neglected trash mounds — on community bulletin boards around Chelsea. That flyer contained a series of questions: “Do you have a mound of trash in the woods near where you live? Do you know its origin story? Is finding an old rubber tire like finding a morel [or is it different]? Does your trash feel haunted? Where does the trash ‘belong’? Are you worried about the trash? Is the trash worried about you? Do you believe in trash fairies? What do the trash mounds tell us about our collective regional trauma?”

In Rubbish! The Archaeology of Garbage, authors Cullen Murphy and William Rathje write, “Art derived from garbage will surely thrive for as long as garbage is around to provide a source.” This certainly seems accurate, but for Vermont-raised artist GRACE AMBER, trash is more than raw material — it’s a way of interacting deeply with past and present. On Thursday, July 20, STUDIO PLACE ARTS in Barre will open Amber’s exhibition “Trash Mounds,” featuring sculptural installations made from local detritus. For Amber, who now resides in Portland, Ore., these works are one by-product of an art process that encompasses historical investigation, community building and homecoming. In a recent interview, Amber, 26, said she’s been wanting to make work in her home state for some time — and that Vermont’s “trash ecosystem [is] a gold mine that isn’t available other places.” For one thing, she said, “In the city, the change [in trash] is so fast.”

will host its seventh annual Summer Pride Theater Festival, featuring plays with LGBTQ+ themes. This year boasts “something for everyone”: a family farce, an ER drama and a series of playlets for those who enjoy shortform entertainment. The lineup includes two regional premieres and one Vermont premiere, all infused with local flair. The festival opens with Family Holiday, a comedy written by CD Cathro and directed by NANCY MANNEY. When RJ comes home for the holidays, he finds that his family has acquired bizarre quirks, freak health consciousness and tantalizing secrets. Hilarity ensues. In this production, his homecoming takes place in Montpelier, though it doesn’t in the original script. Vermont Pride Theater asked Cathro if they could change the town to give it a local spin. He responded, “Where is a place you can get lots of pie, and people wear flannels on Christmas?” The cast answered, “Montpelier.” To prove it, they’re taking Cathro to sample pies in the state capital for himself. He’ll be in Vermont to see the play. Out of the Closet, directed by KIM WARD, DVORA ZIPKIN and GENE HEINRICH, comprises eight short plays. Two were previously produced by VALLEY PLAYERS THEATER in Waitsfield — one by local playwright JACK RUSHTON, and one by Zipkin. These two plays were not originally in Out of the Closet, which was developed by Caroline Sposto for Emerald Theatre Company in Memphis, Tenn. But, according to local producer SUSAN LOYND, Out of the Closet originally contained one play that they had a hard time casting and another they simply didn’t care for. Luckily, Emerald Theatre Company was open to swapping those shows with the two already presented in Waitsfield. The result is a customized curation that weaves together stories from around CHANDLER

In 2016, North Carolina issued the infamous “bathroom bill,” which required individuals to use the restroom appropriate to their biological sex at birth. Promptly following Trump’s inauguration, his administration quietly deleted pages concerning LGBTQ rights from federal websites. And, last month, the Texas Supreme Court threatened to deny equal marriage benefits to samesex couples.

which offered what she called “bookish news and events from every corner of our well-crannied state.” That site went dormant last summer — coincidentally, the same month that Literary North made its debut. Initially, Siegel and Altman set out to create a comprehensive calendar of every literary-arts-related activity across New England’s northernmost states: Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont. Early on, they recognized that endeavor was impossible. So they became more selective, limiting their scope to New Hampshire and Vermont. Their benchmark for featuring an upcoming event, as Altman put it, is “Are we excited about it? Is this something we’d travel for?” Siegel — who also maintains a personal website for her creative projects, GrongarBlog — and Altman couldn’t actually attend all the events on their burgeoning calendar without being in two or more places at once. On many days, Literary North features two to five events, sometimes more. Later this month, the site will add a new event of its own to the calendar. Literary North’s mission includes

“There ought to be some sort of calendar that lists all the literary events in New Hampshire and Vermont,” Siegel said. “Yeah,” Altman concurred. “Somebody should make one,” Siegel said. “We should make one,” Altman countered. So they did. In July 2016, the women launched an online book- and authorrelated events calendar called LITERARY NORTH. Their site catalogs a plethora of literary offerings in, as Siegel put it, “this rectangle of northern New England.” Visitors can also sign up for the Dipper, their monthly newsletter, which highlights readings, events, calls for submission and other news. “It’s a way of communicating: ‘Have you heard about this?’” Altman said. They’re not the first aggregators to have attempted to maintain regional calendars and lists of literary offerings. From 2011 to 2015, Vermont writer RONALD LEWIS periodically tallied up statewide poetry news and emailed the Vermont Poetry Newsletter to his contact list.

are to hear a Pulitzer Prize winner read from his latest book or a MacArthur “genius” fellow recite her poems? Anyone with a hankering to listen to literary luminaries has numerous local opportunities. Until recently, however, attracting fantastic talent to this sparsely populated state seemed easier than getting the word out about such events. In the spring of 2016, bibliophiles SHARI ALTMAN and REBECCA SIEGEL attended the reading of renowned novelist Zadie Smith at Dartmouth College. They knew about it because Altman stumbled on a mention of the local reading while googling the publication date of Smith’s novel in the U.S. “She is one of my favorite authors,” Altman said, “and I had no clue she was going to be reading at Dartmouth!” After the reading, Altman and Siegel, who live in Hartland and Thetford Center, respectively, lamented that they had almost missed the opportunity. The incident inspired them to create a new means of heralding just such happenings. In a recent interview, the duo recalled the conversation that launched their project:

championing the literary arts and partnering with the local literary community. In March, Siegel and Altman hosted their first event: the Mud Season Literary Salon in White River Junction. Cosponsored by Junction magazine, another online site specializing in cultural happenings on either side of the Connecticut River, the salon featured readings and music performed by area writers, along with gourmet toast and beverages. On July 29, the women will ramp up their work as cultural catalysts by hosting a gathering they call Poetry & Pie. “We wanted to go beyond the standard reading,” said Altman. “And not just offer entertainment,” Siegel added, “but create an event that fosters community and connections, out of which more ideas and opportunities can arise.” Poetry & Pie will take place at Sweetland Farm in Norwich, which has hosted potluck dinners and yoga in its barn. Literary North’s shindig will present readings by three writers: DEDE CUMMINGS — poet and founder of Brattleboro publisher GREEN WRITERS PRESS; Shaftsbury poet JAMES CREWS; and Cape Cod, Mass., poet Mary Kane. After the reading, other poets in attendance can share original work at an open mic. And, of course, Altman and Siegel will serve an assortment of pies, from rhubarb hand pies to Shaker lemon. Finally, farmer-poet TAYLOR MARDIS KATZ of Chelsea will be on-site with her typewriter to compose custom poems for attendees. “There’s a lot of places where you can go to hear a reading,” Altman said. On the same afternoon as Poetry & Pie, she acknowledged, three nationally recognized poets — Jorie Graham, Paul Muldoon and Molly Peacock — will give readings at the Bookstock festival in Woodstock. “But we’re up here [in Norwich], and we’ll probably attract a different crowd. “Besides,” she added, smiling at Siegel, “we’ll have pie.” !

f Ivan Pavlov were alive today and conducting his now-famous research on behavioral conditioning, he could ditch the dogs altogether and instead study the saliva-inducing properties of ice-cream-truck songs on children. Whether it’s Scott Joplin’s “The Entertainer,” the Sherman Brothers’ “It’s a Small World” or the old English nursery rhyme “Pop Goes the Weasel,” those tinkling tunes echoing through the streets cause kids to tilt their heads like cocker spaniels and come running. Meanwhile, adults grit their teeth and get out their wallets. Love them or endure them, ice cream trucks and their continuously looped jingles signal summer as much as cicadas and Fourth of July fireworks. But who decides on the music they play? Does one driver have the corner on “Home on the Range” while another gets “Yankee Doodle”? And what’s with the racist overtones behind that classic ditty “Turkey in the Straw”? To get the scoop on such ice-creamtruck trivia, I reached out to Vermont’s own Mr. Ding-A-Ling, Gary Hathaway. If you’ve ever bought a Bomb Pop or Good Humor chocolate éclair from an ice cream truck anywhere between Barre and Malone, N.Y., chances are it was one of his. Hathaway and his crew, most of whom are his relatives, are now in their 17th year of slinging strawberry shortcake bars and Creamsicles in Vermont and New York. Each year, from April through September, Mr. Ding-A-Ling’s seven trucks travel thousands of miles — some log more than 100 per day. Guess it’s not such a small world after all. The 58-year-old Colchester native, who works as a professional wrestling promoter the rest of the year, leases his trucks from a business in Albany, N.Y., that owns about 100 in the region. Each truck has a digital jukebox; some can play only four songs, while others have 32. Each driver decides which songs to play on his or her route. While Hathaway admits that some people get irked hearing the same melody played on repeat, “The drivers don’t seem to mind it at all … But there’s always somebody who doesn’t care for [the music] or is just having a bad day.” Do other ice cream trucks try to muscle in on his musical marketing? Hathaway says that’s never been an

issue. Despite the proliferation of food trucks in recent years, Mr. Ding-ALing doesn’t have much competition. (His is the only such truck registered in Burlington.) Nevertheless, if a competitor were to start blaring “The Entertainer” in Hathaway’s territory, he says he wouldn’t sweat it. After all these years in the biz, “We’ve figured out all the tricks and worked out all the bugs ... Do what you gotta do.” Some of those tricks of the trade involve catering business parties and other private functions, including some rather unusual ones. “The funniest one I ever did was a funeral. [The hosting family’s] father loved the ice cream truck, and they called me,” Hathaway remembers. Though he admits it felt weird doling out frozen treats to mourners in the middle of a cemetery while “It’s a Small World” played in the background, “It was a big hit.” “Turkey in the Straw” probably won’t be making the rounds on Hathaway’s routes anymore, however. If something about that tune seems eerily

reminiscent of a Ku Klux Klan rally, there’s good reason. As Theodore R. Johnson III, a writer for National Public Radio’s “Code Switch” podcast, explores in a May 2014 story, the actual name of that 1916 song is “N****r Love a Watermelon, Ha! Ha! Ha!” How this grotesquely racist song became associated with something as innocuous as ice cream — or turkeys, for that matter — is a story in itself. But, as Johnson explains, 19th-century ice cream parlors often played songs popularized by traveling minstrel shows rooted in the Jim Crow era. After World War II, when ice cream trucks began hawking frozen treats to suburbanites, “The traditional minstrel tunes of the previous century were employed to evoke the memorable parlor experience,” Johnson explains. Hathaway, who only recently learned about the song’s origins, says he’s since asked his drivers not to play it anymore, “especially in Burlington, where we have such an array of cultures here. I don’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings.” Indeed, Hathaway tries to be

sensitive to the concerns of his customers, particularly the youngest ones. If, for example, a child doesn’t have any cash and the driver knows it, he or she will often spot the child a free ice cream. As Hathaway puts it, “It’s really sad to watch a kid walk away from the truck empty-handed.” So, what’s new on the frozen-treat horizon? Hathaway reveals that, by spring 2018, he hopes to have his first Mr. Dinghy-Ling — an ice cream boat that will ply the waters of Lake Champlain. No word yet as to whether it’ll announce its arrival with nautical-themed tunes. But if it does, one can only hope they’ll lean more toward Bobby Darin’s “Beyond the Sea” than “I’m Popeye the Sailor Man.” After all, we’ll likely be hearing them from shore, over and over, all summer long. !

THE STRAIGHT DOPE BY CECIL ADAMS

Dear Cecil,

Historically, what has been the leading cause of death for humans? Imagine a chart of all causes of death for every human who has ever died. Will it be prehistoric causes of death due to the tens of thousands of years they had to accumulate, or will it be more modern causes due to the population explosion that came with civilization? — Mr. Kobayashi a Washington, D.C.-based notfor-profit that’s been tracking global population statistics since 1929. The PRB came up with estimates for the number of people born per era, as summarized below (I’ve tweaked the numbers to bring things up to date): • 50,000 BC to 8,000 BC — about 1 billion; • 8,000 BC to 1 AD — about 46 billion; • 1 to 1850 AD — about 47 billion; • 1850 to present — about 14 billion. Total: 108 billion. In other words, nearly 90 percent of people who have ever lived were born prior to 1850. The world’s population today, roughly 7.5 billion, accounts for about 7 percent of all people who have ever lived. PRB concedes that plenty of guesswork went into these numbers. (For more on their methodology, see prb.org/publications/articles/2002/howmanypeople

haveeverlivedonearth.) But let’s assume they’re right. We can reasonably take 1850 as the point at which industrialization and urbanization had begun to get traction in parts of the world. Prior to then, the vast majority of humanity lived in rural settings without modern sanitation, got by on minimal calories, had no access to health care worthy of the name and died young — in large part because many children died before age 5 and many women died in childbirth. (The latter two problems didn’t recede in the U.S. until the 20th century.) We can thus rule out as candidates for leading cause of death what we might call diseases of modernity: heart disease, cancer, stroke, Alzheimer’s, etc. These are what you succumb to if you survive the scourges of antiquity. Let’s talk about those scourges. Disease, famine and war are obvious candidates; mother/child mortality must

leading cause of death is heart disease, followed by stroke and Alzheimer’s. For the other end of the scale, here’s a quote from WHO: “More than half (52%) of all deaths in low-income countries in 2015 were caused by the so-called ‘Group I’ conditions, which include communicable diseases, maternal causes, conditions arising during pregnancy and childbirth, and nutritional diseases.” Sounds to me like what you’d have expected worldwide prior to 1850. The leading cause of death? Lower respiratory infection (chiefly pneumonia, bronchitis and influenza), followed by diarrheal disease (dysentery, cholera, etc.), stroke and heart disease. Tuberculosis and malaria are Nos. 6 and 7, preterm birth complications and birth asphyxiation are 8 and 9. The list doesn’t precisely replicate what you’d have found in antiquity. The No. 5 cause of death in poor countries now is HIV/AIDS, and No. 10 is road injury — both modern problems. Even in low-income economies, modern medicine has likely pushed TB and malaria lower on the list than they’d have been in centuries past. But I’d say the WHO ranking is pretty close.

his is going to involve some guesswork, Mr. Kobayashi. OK, a lot of guesswork. But it needn’t be just a shot in the dark. What we need is a defensible method. Let’s see what we can figure out. As you rightly intuit, the answer depends on how many people were alive during the successive epochs of history, since the leading causes of death have shifted over time. Here we have the benefit of work done by others. In the 1970s, when fears about the population explosion were at their peak, the story arose that 75 percent (or some other large fraction) of all people who’d ever been born were then alive — the idea being that we’d reached the hockey-stick inflection point on the growth curve and population was increasing exponentially. Though durable, this tale had no basis in reality. Its debunking comes thanks to the Population Reference Bureau,

We’ve already excluded noncommunicable diseases common in the developed world; what remains may be broadly categorized as infectious disease, which overlaps to some extent with mother/child deaths. Some would be content to let it go at that, but surely we can fine-tune things a bit. Let’s push on. Our task is complicated by the fact that mortality statistics prior to 1900 are hopelessly inadequate. On the internet we find lots of theories based on fragmentary or anecdotal data. Malaria is popular — some claim it’s caused half of all human deaths. Tuberculosis has its adherents. Limit the time period or geographical range, and you can make a case for smallpox or the black death. We can do better than that. We don’t have good data for most of history, but we have OK data for most of the world now. One of the best-known collectors is the World Health Organization, which publishes top-10 causesof-death lists for different “economy income groups.” These lists differ sharply. For high-income economies, the

By calling from there, she can demonstrate that the problem is the phone company’s responsibility and not caused by the wiring she’s responsible for between the road and the house. The Wades’ Buckwheat Hill Farm sits on nearly 250 acres in the farthest northeast corner of Vermont. The couple can see Canada from their kitchen window, and New Hampshire is just down the road.

organ Wade gathered her tool bag, her bug spray and the spare phone she keeps in a clear plastic box and headed down to the end of her half-mile driveway in Canaan last month. Standing in hip-high weeds, she unscrewed the cover of a gray box attached to a telephone pole, plugged her phone into a jack and dialed FairPoint Communications. “I’m calling about the quality of the line,” she told a customer service representative. Calls like this have become a ritual for Wade. The phone line at the home she shares with her husband, Dan, and their 7-year-old son consistently carries an annoying buzz. When the noise

all the latest technology. But Morgan, a lawyer who works from home as a researcher for the database company LexisNexis, and Dan, who runs a maple sugaring operation, need their landline. “We don’t have the option to go to cellphones,” Morgan Wade said. She worries that she and neighbors who report similar troubles will be left behind — that someday it will no longer be economically feasible for the phone company to maintain their landlines. “It’s never been great,” Wade said of her connection. But, she added, “What happens when it continues to get worse?” The ongoing revolution in communications technology has given millions of people new choices for phone service but has also put new stresses on the financial stability of traditional telecommunications companies. They have been left with fewer customers, more competition and shrinking resources to maintain their existing networks. In May, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that, for the first time, a majority of Americans, 50.8 percent, only used cellphones. So many customers have cut the cord that at least 19 states have decided that telephone companies should be allowed to abandon landlines altogether, as long as other options exist. Although Vermont is unlikely to endorse such a step anytime soon, Wade is not alone in worrying about the future of landlines for the diminishing number of people who rely on them. “The notion that the bottom could fall out is very real,” said Greg Marchildon, state director of AARP

Vermont, which follows utility issues for its elderly members. In Vermont, landlines are still a lifeline for some. Four years ago, the CDC found that, while 30 percent of Vermonters only use cellphones, a full one-third rely mostly or entirely on traditional telephone service. That’s more than any other state except West Virginia. “The absence of a landline could be life and death until we figure out a way to guarantee cell coverage,” Marchildon said. Phone service for people such as the Wades is also on the minds of state officials, said Clay Purvis, director of the Vermont Department of Public Service’s Telecommunications and Connectivity Division. “This is who I think about when I worry about the future,” said the 34-year-old Purvis, who lives landlinefree in Brookfield, but whose job involves ensuring reliability of legacy landlines. “The last mile is where you see degradation.”

dying, but there is a risk to letting that happen. Other options, he said, “are not nearly as reliable” during power outages and mass emergencies when many people are trying to make calls at once. Still, he conceded, he doesn’t have a landline because he travels frequently and sees it as an unnecessary expense. Many residential and business customers are reaching the same conclusion. A new Maple Street dormitory under construction at Burlington’s Champlain College will have just a single landline G R EG M A R C HI L D O N in the common area for emergencies, according to spokesman Stephen Mease. In 2009, the college had 952 landlines, including 422 in student dorm rooms. While the college has grown since then, its landlines have decreased to 818 and none in dorm rooms, Mease said. To offset such declines, phone companies can’t just raise their rates — both because they are regulated by the state and because they have competitors close on their heels.

END OF THE LINE?

Losing the landline represents a cultural shift. Phone books are virtually useless; a generation is growing up unaware of the household phone; and the backdrop of everyday life now includes a cacophony of cellphone ringtones and vibrations. That shift has happened throughout Vermont, particularly in its most populated areas. FairPoint, which was acquired this month by Consolidated Communications, saw its landline numbers decline by nearly 60 percent in a decade, from 315,588 in 2005 to 134,521 in 2016. Smaller, more rural phone companies also saw decreases, though less dramatic, according to DPS data. For some it has been simple to decide between cellphones and landlines. “I think it really was the idea of, what is this giving us that using just a cellphone doesn’t?” said Naomi Roof, a Burlington resident who gave up her landline more than a decade ago. “We couldn’t really think of anything. This was even pre-smartphones.” Roof lives in the Old North End of Burlington, where telecommunications options are bountiful. The city boasts dependable cell coverage. Three companies — Burlington Telecom, Comcast and Consolidated Communications — compete to offer phone, internet and television service. “I have not missed it, especially because of the robocall piece,” she said, noting that when her landline rang, a

telemarketer was often on the other end. Friends and family typically called her mobile phone. The 41-year-old mother of two has become so used to cell-only living that when she visited her sister in Williston recently, she was startled to hear the landline ring. Her first thought: It must be a telemarketer. “It was actually for me,” Roof said. “It didn’t occur to me it would be a legitimate call.” While switching to cell-only service may eliminate an extraneous landline, it doesn’t necessarily save much money. The math varies by household and depends on such variables as the quality of cell service or the cost of voice-over-internet options and whether every family member has a phone. But those who get their phone and internet from one company may find that lopping off just the landline from the package doesn’t save them the full price of phone service listed on their bills. That’s because federal subsidies help pay for the landline portion of the cost. Providing only internet to customers still requires maintaining the same infrastructure, but with less federal help. “Many times, it’s very, very little savings,” said Roger Nishi, vice president of industry relations at Waitsfield and Champlain Valley Telecom in the Mad River Valley, the largest of Vermont’s eight small, independent phone companies. He argued that there are good reasons for customers to keep a landline even if they have decent cell service. “If you were on a landline right now, it would probably be a clearer connection. You don’t get cut off,” he told a Seven Days reporter in a phone interview. “It’s always there when you need it.” As if on cue, the reporter’s cellphone dropped the call. Nishi, who was using a landline, didn’t rub it in. Vermont Center for Emerging Technologies president David Bradbury, who spends a lot of time thinking about the latest means of communication, is among those who wondered why his family bothered to keep their landline. He found a good reason the night of June 23. His 11-year-old son broke his leg in the backyard of their rural Stowe home. When it came to calling 911, cellphones lacked service, but the landline worked, Bradbury said. “It’s worth it,” he said of his family’s landline. Bill Horne, a retired Verizon employee who lives in North Carolina and edits a blog called Telecom Digest, said there’s little doubt that landlines are

People always need a way to communicate,

While traditional telephone companies such as his are regulated, the phone service from newer providers of internet-based telephone service, such as Comcast, is not. That means the state requires Consolidated to provide a minimum level of service to its entire coverage area, while competitors can choose to serve only the most profitable, populated territories. That makes running traditional phone companies all the more challenging, said Nishi, who’s worked for Waitsfield/Champlain Valley for 23 years. “We still need to maintain the whole network,” he said. “Competitors will build where it’s easier for them to serve.”

State regulators require that they keep the landline links, but phone companies benefit from the fact that the same copper and fiber-optic lines that carry phone service also provide popular internet access. “We’ve actually become a broadband company,” Nishi said of his 113-year-old employer. “We encourage our customers

to increase their speeds, and we try to get them the best service possible.”

INTERNET TO THE SUGARHOUSE At the front desk of Franklin Telephone last week, receptionist Linda Hartman was on the phone with a customer. “If you don’t want the DSL in the sugarhouse now, we can just turn it off,” she told the customer. “Or you can just pay for it all year.” As she talked, Hartman was surrounded by equipment from a bygone era. On one corner of her desk sat an old crank-style wooden phone. Behind her was a potbelly stove, which is still used to heat the cramped Main Street storefront in winter. The state’s smallest telephone company lives with a foot in two eras. Customers are looking for high-speed internet in their homes, barns and sugarhouses, but many still come to town to pay their bills in person. “Things have changed a lot,” said Kim Gates, whose great-grandfather founded the utility in 1894 so that his farm store could communicate with the railroad five miles away. She is one of four employees — three of them family members — still running the company. It serves 800 customers in the rural northwestern Vermont towns of Franklin, Highgate and Sheldon. A quarter of those customers are seasonal camp owners at Lake Carmi. The company has responded to change the same way larger phone providers have — by expanding its business beyond landlines, Gates said. “We’ve invested a lot in the latest

technology,” she said. “We can offer all of our customers high-speed internet. It’s a continual process.” But, she added, providing television service proved cost-prohibitive. Just as movie theaters survived the onset of VHS tapes and DVDs, Gates noted, phone companies are surviving changes in the way customers connect. “People always need a way to communicate, whether it’s telephone or internet,” she said. Still, Gates’ company lost about 100 phone lines between 2005 and 2016, according to DPS data. And more competition keeps coming. Comcast now offers not just television but internet-based phone service to part of Franklin’s coverage area. A third company, wireless internet provider GlobalNet, has also moved in, she said. Cell coverage is “limited” even in downtown Franklin, Gates said, but some customers are attaching equipment to their internet routers to provide cell service at home. That means they’re no longer using their landlines for longdistance calls, she noted. Gates acknowledged that providing service on every rural road will grow more challenging if the number of customers and federal funding for maintaining those lines continues to decrease. “How much money do you continue to put into funding everybody?” she asked. Nishi has the same questions at Waitsfield/Champlain Valley. The Mad River Valley company started in 1904 when telephone service was still in its infancy. Nishi’s employer saw a decrease in the number of residential and business phone lines from 20,824 in 2005 to 16,016 in 2016, according to the DPS. That followed a high point in 2002, when fax machines were still in vogue and dial-up internet service was driving people to add phone lines to their homes and businesses. “We’re feeling the pressure of losing long-distance revenue and losing local lines,” as well as the loss of federal subsidies for landlines, Nishi said. Nevertheless, he said, “People expect us to maintain the lines.” The Universal Service Fund, overseen by the Federal Communications Commission, has long offered phone companies incentives to serve rural areas, but this year Vermont’s eight independent phone companies will see an 18 percent decrease in USF money, Nishi said. That means companies will have less money to upgrade internet speeds and maintain traditional phone lines. “It’s concerning,” he said.

Purvis, at the DPS, put the telephone companies’ plight this way: “I don’t foresee that they’re going to be left to die, but the economics for them is getting to be more of a challenge every year.”

Replacing copper is expensive, she said. Fiber-optic cable is actually cheaper by the foot but more expensive when adding in the electronics needed to connect the line to a house, she said. Maintaining more modern fiber-optic lines also presents challenges, but they don’t attract lightning, Gates said.

For the time being, phone companies are keeping the network running, but those who follow telecommunications in Vermont say something more will have to be done to protect those at the end of the line. Nishi, at Waitsfield/Champlain Valley, said he believes either the federal government will have to direct more subsidies for the hardest to serve, or prices will have to increase. “Those that are easy to serve now have choice. Those at the end of the line don’t have choice. Those are the customers that will either need funding, or rates will have to rise,” he said. Tom Evslin of Stowe, a former telecommunications consultant, said the FCC should be making a game plan to ensure that coverage continues in the most rural areas. He argues that it doesn’t have to be via traditional landlines. “You need a two- to three-year plan. Where are we going to extend broadband, and how does that cut down on the number [of customers at risk]?” he said, as a robust internet connection

offers customers the option of voiceover-internet phone service. Once the number of landline-dependent customers is down to a relative few, he said, “Buy them satellite phones. Compared to the cost of subsidizing service for a few people, it’s not expensive. There’s nobody that we can’t provide service for. It’s just a question of how much it’s going to cost.” Bradbury agreed. “Is it important that a landline go to every location, or do we just have to have connectivity?” he asked. “It may not make sense to run a lot of physical infrastructure.” In Canaan, meanwhile, town officials have been working on bringing cell coverage to at least some portions of the town. Wade does not anticipate that dependable coverage is on the horizon. She is more focused on ensuring that her landline works. Two days after she called FairPoint’s customer service from the end of her driveway, a technician visited on a Sunday morning. “He found an area down the road where moisture was getting in and affecting our junction,” she said. Service improved noticeably, she said. But if past experience is any indication, the buzz will return and she will be back at the end of the driveway, calling the phone company and wondering if the day will come when there will be no one at the other end of the line. !

Wigfield said the agency wants to avoid leaving customers without other options. Such decisions, he said, will be made on a case-by-case basis. Meanwhile, Consolidated has promised to invest in Vermont. In order to win approval from state regulators for its acquisition of FairPoint, Consolidated agreed to plow 14 percent of its Vermont revenues over the first three years into its overall state operations and another $1 million a year for three years into specifically targeted “areas with ongoing service quality concerns.” Purvis said that investment will likely amount to at least $17 million and will bolster service for those most dependent on landlines. “The purpose of the $1 million is to take care of situations like Morgan’s in Canaan,” he said. While there’s no hard evidence to indicate that landline service in Vermont is at a physical breaking point, customers are sometimes left hanging. In 2016 and the first quarter of 2017, FairPoint fell short of its required level for service complaints cleared within 24 hours. But the 61% perpformance rate was an improvement over the 43% the company reported in 2015. Gates, at Franklin Telephone, said water damage is a common source of problems with copper lines that drive customers to complain. “Over time, you’ll get lightning strikes and water damage, and the copper corrodes and the connection fails,” she said. “If you’re lucky, it just corrodes in one spot.”

At Consolidated Communications’ offices on Main Street in Burlington, a portion of the second floor used to house a team of operators who answered directory assistance calls. The company now donates that space and one gigabyte of broadband to Bradbury’s Vermont Center for Emerging Technologies, a nonprofit organization that helps startup companies. The company’s loss of local lines over the last decade is proportionally greater than smaller outfits, such as Waitsfield/ Champlain Valley, in large part because its territory includes more populated areas of Vermont, where other companies are eager to compete, Purvis said. In Maine, Consolidated has been working to level the playing field with such competitors. State regulators granted the company’s request for relief from regulation in some of the most populous municipalities. The move is increasingly common across the country in areas with plenty of competition — a recognition that phone companies no longer have monopolies there. Deregulation frees a telephone company from the obligation to provide phone connections in those areas. Reed said, however, the goal is not to drop existing service but to eliminate requirements that the company document its service record to the state, which its competitors don’t have to do. “When competition takes over, regulation has to back off,” Reed said. The move could also give the company more flexibility in the rates it charges, which could lead to higher costs for consumers as the market allows. Consolidated might at some future point request such deregulation in populated areas of Vermont, Reed said. But Purvis said the state would be wary of leaving some customers without landline phone service. “I don’t foresee it anytime soon,” he said. In other states, telephone providers have sought permission to get rid of copper-wired landlines entirely in favor of wireless networks or fiber-optic lines. AT&T won such approval from the Illinois legislature this month. The FCC must also approve the move before the phone company can proceed. The FCC is considering a change in rules to make it easier to retire copper phone lines, but spokesman Mark

n a sunny room at the Adult Day Program in Colchester, Harka Rai sat hunched over a coloring page. The 81-year-old Bhutanese man had colored the central floral design red and blue and was moving on to a different section of the page. His wife, Dhan, sat next to him. She, too, was engrossed in her own work. The couple is among the eight Bhutanese senior citizens who attend the adult daytime care program, which the Visiting Nurse Association of Chittenden and Grand Isle Counties launched in 1981. Participants have frailties and functional needs in some of their daily living activities. On average, 18 to 24 people visit the VNA’s premises in Colchester each week, said site manager Donna LaFromboise-Perretta. The Bhutanese aren’t the only immigrants participating in the program. The Colchester site also serves clients born in Bosnia and Iraq, but the number of Bhutanese elders enrolled in the program has grown in the last seven months. That increase can be attributed to the efforts of Khara Neopaney, a case manager at Age Well. The Essex-based nonprofit provides support services to aging Vermonters in Addison, Chittenden, Franklin and Grand Isle counties. “People come for different reasons,” explained LaFromboise-Perretta, who has worked at the Adult Day Program for 25 years. “They might live alone and need socialization, or they might live with a family member who has to work, and so they are not fit to stay home alone.” Months after Rai resettled in Vermont in 2014, he suffered a stroke. “I used to stay inside the house,” he said through an interpreter. “I feel that I cannot go anywhere due to the snow.” But, like many seniors, Rai found it difficult to remain inactive. In Bhutan and Nepal, he had been an astrologer, farmer and Hindu priest. He was also a dhami-jhakri, or “jumping doctor,” who performed rituals to heal the sick. At the Adult Day Program, Rai’s favorite activity is coloring, he indicated. “We know there’s a big population that needs Adult Day, [and] we know there’s a great Adult Day Program,” said Rachel Lee Cummings, Age Well’s chief operating officer. But the Bhutanese

CULTURE senior citizens weren’t utilizing the VNA’s program because of cultural barriers, she noted. “[Neopaney] has been the main person to increase [participation in] VNA Adult Day [by] the refugee community,” Cummings said. The program is “a great thing” for Bhutanese senior citizens, Neopaney agreed. Not only does it give caregivers — most of whom are family members — respite, or allow them to go to work, it also gives the elderly an opportunity to engage in social and recreational pursuits. These activities are crucial to their mental well-being; many of the Bhutanese don’t speak English and typically rely heavily on their family members. “When I see them at home, they’re always depressed,” Neopaney said. “They keep watching the TV.”

In contrast, the elderly were always occupied with work in Bhutan and Nepal, the case manager continued. “They didn’t have a chance to lie down and sleep.” But Neopaney hasn’t found it easy to convince his clients of the benefits of adult daycare. Most Bhutanese senior citizens “don’t want to get out of their house and get involved with other people,” he said. In addition, the elderly aren’t accustomed to eating outside the home nor eating food that isn’t prepared by family members. “It’s very difficult to change the old mind,” Neopaney conceded. Besides the cultural barriers, he has had to face bigger institutional barriers. Transportation is a huge challenge. It isn’t uncommon for Bhutanese adults to work a night shift and sleep during the

day. Hence, they’re unable to drive their elderly family members to the program site in Colchester. The onus is on Neopaney to convince the Special Services Transportation Agency that his clients are eligible for rides provided by the nonprofit. He revealed that one of his clients was denied transportation three times because of mistaken identity, and it took considerable effort to resolve the error. However, Neopaney said there’s great satisfaction in seeing changes in clients who participate in the day program — even if adjusting to the new environment took time. Now, not only do they make an effort to dress up, they partake in activities. Man Pradhan, 73, was one of the first Bhutanese elders to attend the Adult Day Program. His son, Kamal, had heard

they need because they’re busy working. And they may not recognize the signs of depression, Pradhan explained, adding, “I would recommend this program to all folks who are struggling.” But both he and Neopaney agreed that there’s room for improvement at the Adult Day Program. For example, the Bhutanese certainly want to see more of their culture in the program’s activities and menu. “My father would love to watch religious Nepali or Indian movies or documentaries once in a while,” said Pradhan. Indeed, a volunteer once played a Nepali song, and the older Pradhan couldn’t stop dancing. Neopaney said the most common feedback from his clients is that they wish they could be served Nepali food. The participants would also benefit more if there were a Nepali-speaking staff member. Neopaney shared that his predecessor had enrolled a couple of Bhutanese senior citizens in the program, but they stopped attending after feeling frustrated by the communication barrier. VNA management agrees: “We need help integrating them with our group as well as our group integrating with them,” LaFromboise-Perretta said. !

about it and signed up his father in early 2015. “As my wife and I both work, he was left alone in the house,” said Pradhan, who is employed at the Howard Center. “He needed help with socialization, as he was undergoing depression and anxiety.” But the transition wasn’t easy for his father, Pradhan admitted. “In the beginning, for almost a year, he struggled to adapt to the program because of the lack of communication with his peers [and staff ] at the daycare.” His father felt lonely and awkward, Pradhan said. “At times, he refused to go to the program because he was the only Nepalispeaking client.” Things improved when more Bhutanese were enrolled. These days, Pradhan said, his father “feels more adapted and likes to go to the program without hesitation.” Site manager LaFromboise-Perretta said that the elder Pradhan took other Bhutanese seniors under his wing when they first arrived. According to Pradhan, many Bhutanese immigrants like his father “have lost [their] sense of connection to the world.” In Bhutanese and Nepali societies, social gatherings are common, and people visit their relatives and neighbors without notice. In Vermont, this practice has become less common because of the language barrier and lack of transportation. In addition, families may not be able to give their elders the help or attention

With each hammer blow to the anvil, a glowing orange rod of hot iron bent, twisted and fanned out, slowly transforming from inanimate object to something organic looking, perhaps a plant or flower petal. Warren Rinehart, the metalworker deftly wielding the hammer, didn’t fit the usual stereotype of a young and muscle-bound blacksmith clad in a heavy smock. Wiry, balding and bespectacled, the 75-year-old Middlebury man stood slightly stooped over the anvil, occasionally firing up an acetylene torch, wearing no protective gear other than a single heat-shielding glove for gripping the iron rod. Dressed in a blue button-down shirt and beige trousers, Rinehart looked more like an accountant. A quick scan of the Rinehart Blacksmith Arts Center revealed its namesake’s past profession. Amid an antique-shop-like clutter of deer skulls, African masks, wrought-iron knickknacks and metallurgical supplies, a Vermont license plate on the wall reads “BONEMAN.” In the cramped, tchotchkefilled office nearby, a human skeleton dangles in one corner. A hand-lettered sign above the door identifies it as the realm of “Dr. Blacksmith.” For nearly four decades, Rinehart worked as an orthopedic surgeon — for 28 years in Utica, N.Y., followed by another 10 at the University of Vermont Medical Center in Burlington. Prior to his retirement from medicine four years ago, Rinehart decided that he wanted his lifelong avocation — blacksmithing — to live on after he was gone. So he forged a relationship with the maritime museum to make it a reality. In 2006, Rinehart approached LCMM’s leadership team and offered to donate all of his blacksmithing equipment to the museum upon his death. Though the nonprofit’s staff appreciated Rinehart’s generous offer, they informed him that the museum lacked the space necessary to display or even warehouse all that equipment. So, in the words of LCMM codirector Erick Tichonuk, Rinehart “rectified the situation” by building an 1,800-square-foot, state-of-the-art blacksmithing facility on the museum’s grounds. Today, half of the building serves as Rinehart’s personal workshop. He typically spends 10 to 12 hours there weekly working on whatever project strikes his fancy: metallic sunflowers, cranes, salamanders, loons. Rinehart rarely sells his pieces or gets formal commissions, though

a few of his sculptures — including a redheaded woodpecker and a 6-foot-tall crane — are displayed outside the Residence at Otter Creek in Middlebury, where he and his wife, Vickie, lived until recently. The other half of the arts center houses five fully equipped blacksmithing forges, which are used regularly by students and experienced metalworkers alike. For much of the year, the museum offers courses and workshops in blacksmithing at nearly every level, from beginner to expert. “Every metalworking person who walks in here starts drooling,” said Tichonuk during a tour of the facility, which contains multiton trip hammers, gas forges, coal forges, welders, drill presses, grinders, anvils, tongs and other metallurgical tools. Bob Bordeaux, a Huntington bladesmith who makes custom knives, noted that very few schools offer courses in blacksmithing. Aspiring metalworkers often must find an experienced smith who’s willing to take

on an apprentice, or travel long distances to attend a specialized school. “I had no idea there were people out there doing this type of thing when I took it up,” said Bordeaux, who taught himself blacksmithing through trial and error. By building this facility, he added, “Warren has done a wonderful thing to help keep the craft alive.” Rinehart’s interest in blacksmithing reflects his agrarian roots. He grew up in Greensburg, Kan., a farming community of fewer than 1,000 people. His grandparents and uncles were all farmers, so Rinehart spent much of his childhood on the land. After attending medical school at the University of Kansas, Rinehart completed his residency at New York’s Albany Medical Center, then took a surgical position in Utica. It was there he learned blacksmithing, more out of necessity than as a hobby. In the early 1970s, Rinehart decided to work the farm he’d bought in Utica using a team of Belgian draft

horses. But he had trouble finding farriers who knew how to shoe the animals. One young farrier made an attempt to shoe two horses, Rinehart recalled, that took him eight hours. The next day, one of those horses threw a shoe, and the farrier couldn’t immediately return to replace it. Rinehart decided to take matters into his own hands. That meant heating and customfitting a horseshoe to each hoof, a task that required a forge and blacksmithing skills. What began as a farm chore soon grew into a lifelong passion. Over the years, Rinehart took blacksmithing classes, first in the U.S. at schools such as the Ozark School of Blacksmithing in Missouri, then overseas. In the late 1980s, he spent a month in Prague studying metalworking. In 2002, Rinehart traveled to Israel with seven other Americans to study under internationally acclaimed blacksmith Uri Hofi. After almost three decades of practicing medicine in New York, Rinehart

After the Rineharts sold their house in Charlotte and moved into the Residence at Otter Creek, the blacksmith needed a place to set up shop. That’s when he approached the LCMM and eventually offered to build them one. Why would a museum devoted to maritime history be interested in blacksmithing? As Eloise Beil, LCMM’s director of collections and community relations, pointed out, blacksmithing and bladesmithing have always had a close relationship to seafaring communities. “You would have been very hard-pressed to do shipbuilding or manage and operate ships if you didn’t have blacksmithing facilities close by,” she said. Indeed, blacksmithing was an aspect of the museum before Rinehart arrived. In May 1989, LCMM built a forge to aid construction of the Philadelphia II, a replica of the 18th-century continental gunboat that patrolled Lake Champlain until it was sunk by the British in 1776.

When the museum began planning that replica, Beil explained, the staff decided to forge all of the vessel’s iron hardware, including more than 9,000 nails, on the premises using an 18thcentury-style forge. Ever since, she said, blacksmithing has been “enormously popular” with museum visitors. But, as Beil noted, Rinehart’s contribution took the museum’s metalworking capabilities to a new level. First, because the shop is indoors — the old forge was not — LCMM can now offer classes throughout the year, including during winter months when the rest of the museum is closed. In addition, Rinehart founded the LCMM Blacksmithing Guild, which each spring hosts the Hammer-In, a gathering

and his wife relocated to Charlotte, Vt., where he “tried” to retire. “That lasted about six months,” Rinehart said. “One day I called up the head of orthopedics at [then-called] Fletcher Allen [hospital] and asked him if he wanted a part-time spine guy. He said, ‘I’ve been looking for you for two years.’” Rinehart spent another decade as a surgeon in Burlington before retiring for good. Though blacksmithing might seem like a hazardous hobby for someone who relies on his hands in his profession, Rinehart appeared unfazed by the risks. “I draw blood every couple of weeks or so, but I heal up,” he said with a chuckle, “so it’s not a major deal.”

But as they talked, Coleman realized Lloyd had a rich past in the arts, too, encompassing local history, global activism, the anthropology of religion, experimental film and 1970s feminism.

the Burlington community: Kraft as the longtime director of Burlington City Arts and Lloyd as an untiring activist and founding member of the Peace & Justice Center. “Both women are such strong leaders in the community,” Coleman said. “The show [and] their work in the early 1970s point to the path that they ended up following in their involvement [with] and commitment to the community.” In her show, artworks used in the making of “Black Dawn” are accompanied by a selection of looping experimental shorts and a series of handmade fliers for community screenings. Offerings ran the gamut, from the multiday Take the Bull by the Horns women’s film festival to Jean Cocteau’s The Blood of a Poet. Admission generally ran from a suggested donation of 75 cents to $2. Kraft and Lloyd first met in the early ’70s, when they worked as high school art teachers in the Rochester, Vt., area. They lived as roommates for a winter at Wing Farm, a property owned by Lloyd’s family. In a recent interview, the pair recalled organizing a collaborative effort to make seasonally themed interpretive banners for a local church, which “may

have been a little too pagan for them,” Kraft mused. In 1973, the women sought a more urban environment and moved to Burlington. Kraft was 21 years old, Lloyd 35. Exhibition text for “‘Black Dawn’ to ‘Medusa’” declares, “Lloyd and Kraft worked to bring the essence of the feminist art movement to Burlington.” In 1974, as part of a group of women artists, they collectively opened the Delighted Eye gallery on Church Street. The space would host the “Vermont Women Group Show,” an exhibition that included sculpture by Kraft and Lloyd along with works by 12 other local artists. It was here that the pair debuted their short film “Medusa,” an interpretation of polarized female archetypes. Around this time, Kraft and Lloyd’s interest in experimental film led them to a fascination with filmmaker Maya Deren (1917-61). In addition to creating celebrated and groundbreaking surrealist works, Deren had traveled to Haiti in the 1940s and ’50s to study the dance components of vodou ceremonies. Ultimately, the filmmaker would become entranced by the religion and reportedly possessed by the goddess Erzulie. She recounts her journey in the 1953 volume Divine Horsemen: The Living Gods of Haiti.

“[Divine Horsemen] was like our bible,” Kraft said. She and Lloyd took their first trip to Haiti in 1974. Their resulting 1975 short “Moving Pictures” documented the colorful scenes painted on the “tap-tap” buses in the country’s capital, Port-au-Prince. The following year, Kraft and Lloyd returned to the island nation, their trip funded in part by small grants. In one proposal they wrote, “Our contact with Haitians has deepened our interest not only in this historical period [of the revolution], but also in mythological imagination and the collective unconscious, areas explored in our previous films.” To provide the artists they would commission with proper materials, Kraft and Lloyd shipped seven hefty boxes of supplies to Haiti — specifically, to the island’s American embassy, without permission. Despite the ambassador’s scolding, they were later invited back to discuss their film. Fortuitous circumstances found the pair in a vodou temple in the capital’s Carrefour neighborhood — in a room dedicated to Erzulie, no less. By night, they attended ceremonies, where they were participant observers but never

became possessed. By day, the women wrote in their journals, read Divine Horsemen and wondered, Is this how Maya saw it?, they recalled. “Our hosts thought we were from an obscure order of nuns,” reads the filmmakers’ statement. Vodou is an integral aspect of the story of Haitian liberation recounted in “Black Dawn.” The 1791 uprising that eventually led to independence from the French in 1804 was sparked by a vodou ceremony that took place at Bois Caïman. At the exhibit opening, Kraft quoted the saying that, in Haiti, 90 percent of the population is Catholic and 100 percent is vodoun. Indeed, the filmmakers purport to have used the proliferation of animist beliefs to their advantage. They wrote in their statement, “The involvement of the artists with Vodoun — wherein objects are ‘animated’ by spiritual forces — made them all the more receptive to the creative concepts

of animation that permeate ‘Black Dawn.’” Lloyd in particular repeatedly emphasized, both at the opening and during her interview, the significance of the Haitian revolution (and, by extension, of “Black Dawn”) as a stark example of enslaved black people successfully overthrowing their white rulers. The film debuted in 1978 as part of the firstever American survey of Haitian art, held at the Brooklyn Museum. In 1988, it was included in the Smithsonian Institution traveling exhibition “Haiti: The First Black Republic and Its Monuments to Freedom,” which toured for more than three years. As an educational film, “Black Dawn” remains the best-selling title of Green Valley Media, a production and distribution company that Kraft and Lloyd founded in 1974. After “Black Dawn,” Lloyd went on to make the short documentaries “Haitian

Pilgrimage” and “Haiti’s Piggy Bank.” The latter recounts the destruction of the rural Haitian economy by American economic meddling. In conjunction with “‘Black Dawn’ to ‘Medusa,’” the Champlain College gallery will host a panel discussion titled “Hopes for Haiti” on August 23, led by Saint Michael’s College associate dean Moise St. Louis. On September 5, Kraft and Lloyd will offer a dialogue on “Reflections on the Feminist Art of the 1970s.” “[Doreen and Robin have] dedicated their lives to art, community and social justice,” Coleman said, “and I think this is a nice way to recognize the amazing body of work that they made. “You can look at both women and their lives as integral parts of their artwork,” she continued. “There’s no separation.” !

“I think there’s a lot of room for these community-oriented breweries that are focused on serving a very local area,” said Sean Lawson, who founded Lawson’s Finest Liquids in Warren in 2008. At Next Trick Brewing in West Burke, brewer Allan MacDonald went even further. “The über-local brewery is the future,” he said, standing behind his bar last Thursday, “because people can come in and talk with — and influence, at times — the brewer.” At Four Quarters Brewing in Winooski, Nic Dacey from Fairfield, Conn., stopped for a brew with friends after playing in an ultimate frisbee tournament. “I wish this existed where I live,” Dacey, 28, told a reporter. “It’s small.

ey, hey, the Vermont Brewers Festival is this weekend. It’s news to exactly no one that in the past few years, Vermont’s beer scene has ballooned in scope and size. Since 2014, Vermont Brewers Association membership (only a partial accounting of the state’s brewers) has increased from 40 to 51; according to a 2016 study, the industry generates nearly $400 million in statewide economic output each year. A handful of the newish breweries, such as Hinesburg’s Frost Beer Works, Williston’s Burlington Beer and Burlington’s Queen City Brewery, sell most of their beer in cans and kegs at retail outlets and restaurants. But the majority of newcomers operate on a community scale, transacting the bulk of their sales face-to-face with visitors right in their tasting rooms. Their customers? Mostly folks from nearby. In some remote areas, a neighborhood brewery represents one of the only places in town to grab a beer. Over the past two weeks, Seven Days reporters have beaten the pavement — or, in many cases, bumped over dirt roads — to get a sense of what these DIY spaces are all about. Often situated in the brewers’ backyards, these breweries offer an intimate, zoomed-in drinking experience. Usually, it’s the brewers — or their spouses, family members or neighbors — behind the bar pouring pints. They know if they haven’t seen you before — or if they have — and tend to deliver sips with a hearty side of friendly chatter. As for the beers, from robust stouts and porters to ales, lagers and IPAs, they tend to reflect the brewers’ personal tastes and those of their regular customers. That nuance distinguishes them from beers emanating from sales-driven production breweries, which necessarily pander to popular tastes to some degree.

When Ben Linehan opened his brewery in May 2015, in an old dairy tucked in the steep topography between Tunbridge and Randolph, he didn’t know who would wander in. “I had no idea what to expect,” he recalled, peering into a steaming brew kettle last Friday. But, since opening Brocklebank Craft Brewing, Ben and his wife and co-owner, Anne, have been pleasantly surprised that customers are willing to come to them. “We’ve got great locals here,” Ben said. “Probably 10 regulars come in every weekend.” They come for the friendly, laid-back setting and, of course, for the beers, which Ben brews in 1.5-barrel double batches.

Every few months, the Linehans schlep a few kegs to Bent Hill and stream them into cans, which they sell at the brewery and at a few beer stores along Route 110 and in the White River valley. While such occasional canning runs sometimes signal an oncoming expansion, Ben said he plans to stay small. “We’ve got a great scene here and a great vibe,” he said, spraying the kettle with cool water as it threatened to boil over. “I’ve made a lot of new friends that I’d never have known otherwise. And,” he added, “the free beer is pretty great, too.” —H.P.E. BACKWATER BREWS

The basement of Localfolk Smokehouse in Waitsfield holds a small brewing operation called Cousins Brewing. The brewery, which opened in the spring, produces six kegs of beer a week and expects to increase that number to 10. John Morris, owner of the restaurant, had space for a start-up project and decided to start a small brewery. He was Allan MacDonald (right) of Next Trick Brewing with daughter Ann initially licensed more than three years ago, Morris said, but regulatory issues involving his wastewater treatment the double IPA business,” Morris said. system stalled the process.

clean, dry qualities of brews fermented for longer at cooler temps. Most lack that dewy density that characterizes many of Vermont’s heavily dry-hopped modern ales. Last week, a sample of Sugarhouse Road Ale was golden amber, delicate and crisp. The malt bill carried a touch of caramel toast from the pale crystal malts, while a splash of maple syrup added late in the boil yielded a smooth finish. The Manchester Brown Ale expertly mimicked the old English style, with its mid-weight, roasty malts and molasses undertones, while a pint of Willoughby White was an airy, easy-drinking spin on a classic weissbier. Though MacDonald brews on a seven-barrel system (larger than those of many breweries listed here), he’s more interested in serving locals and Burke’s summer pedal pushers than in selling kegs to restaurants, he said. A good thing, too: As dusk darkened the clean white tasting room, three families who were camping nearby walked in. The teenage children sat down with hand puzzles that MacDonald has hung on the wall near the door, as their parents sidled up to the bar and ordered flights. —H.P.E.

Red Barn Brewing

2170 Oneida Road, Danville, 684-9749, redbarnbrewingvt.com

Getting to Red Barn Brewing, which is located on a dirt road — as many old barns are — near the Peacham-Danville town line, feels like a small adventure. The road is steep and hemmed in on both sides by old maple trees. Breaks in the thicket reveal sweeping views of the surrounding hills, which, depending on the time of year, might be veiled in trailing mist or blanketed in snow. And beware mud season, when mud and ruts render the road nearly impassible. But once you pull into the gravel

parking lot across the road from Erin and Jeremy McMullen’s 1840s barn, the McMullens themselves — or brewer Peter McAlenney and his wife, Judi — will welcome you into their brewery with smiles, fresh brews and a warm atmosphere. After spending many months prepping the space with structural improvements and brewing equipment, the two couples opened their brewery in June 2016. You might sip a flight: Last weekend’s pours included Little Devil, a bright IPA made with blended light malts and lots of juicy-fruit Mosaic hops; clove-andbanana-tinged Whiplash Wheat hefeweizen; clean and crisp Orion kölsch; and McAlenney’s smooth and chocolatey Black Dog porter. Most Fridays and Saturdays, a food vendor is on hand; Farm to Fire pizza, Back Road BBQ, Su Thai and Genuine Jamaican have all made recent appearances. Some weekends, you might find a local bluegrass band picking tunes in a corner of the gorgeous post-and-beam barn that abuts the addition, which holds the brewhouse and wood-paneled tasting room. Inside the tasting room, locals crowd around the curved bar, sipping multicolored pints. As they chat about neighborhood goings-on, their gardens and the weather — you know, the usual stuff — their kids play in the grass outside. They fill up growlers before heading home for bedtime. —H.P.E.

clarifies the restaurant’s service style and cuisine. “We haven’t been a café for a long time,” McGuckin said. “So that was confusing for people. We’d have people come in at night and ask for a sandwich.” But don’t worry, sandwich fans; you can still get plenty of stackers at Thyme during lunch. And Tip Top’s long-loved sesame-pork-and-ginger meatloaf will stay on the menu for as long as guests keep ordering it. —Hannah Palmer Egan

But regulars needn’t fear: THYME will carry over all of Tip Top’s staff, along with its usual business hours and style of cooking.

changed things up over the years,” she said. Counter-service sandwiches and salads have given way to plated meals served with folded cloth napkins. In recent years, McGuckin added, the kitchen has focused more on using local, in-season ingredients, and the restaurant has joined the VERMONT FRESH NETWORK. The name change coincided with the debut of chef PETER BAYLISS’ summer menu, McGuckin said. The new bill of fare includes ravioli with broccoli, Marcona almonds and celery-root sauce; BOYDEN FARM brisket on cheddar polenta with kale salad, corn and roasted red peppers; and grilled peaches over arugula with goat cheese, toasted almonds and raspberry vinaigrette.

“The menu is going to be reminiscent of the original Bangkok Bistro,” owner BOBBY CHOMPUPONG said. “A majority of those dishes have been transformed into tapas-style small plates, which is going to give you the option to order three or four things instead of trying one.” Bangkok Bistro was in business at the current site of GAKU RAMEN for 10 years under the ownership of Chompupong’s father, CHAMP CHOMPUPONG. He’ll be the chef at the new, 55-seat restaurant, which will have additional dining on a threeseason porch and seasonal tables in the alley, Bobby Chompupong said. The menu will be divided into three sections: small plates such as spicy mussels and gyoza; favorite dishes from the original restaurant, including pad Thai, gapow, and panang Thyme curry; and a variety of chef’s specials. The beverage program will highlight craft tiki cocktails, Chompupong said, with ingredients from Southeast Asia and housemade infusions and bitters. Chompupong, a graduate of Champlain Valley Union High School, will run the restaurant with his wife, KANNI SANGKHANOND. He has had various projects since the first Bangkok Bistro closed, including opening (and later selling) BANGKOK MINUTE THAI CAFÉ on Shelburne Road, managing now-closed Zen Lounge in Burlington and working as a DJ. —S.P.

Backwater Brews « P.44 phone while waiting for a friend, and another chatted with the bartender over a pint. One regular picked up the tab for a couple that was there for the first time. “Maybe it’ll bring ’em back,” he said with a smile. Owners Dan Ukolowicz and Kara Pawlusiak started Simple Roots in their garage three years ago, selling the beer at farmers markets and stores. Last summer, they opened the small tasting room in a corner spot in the Ethan Allen Shopping Center. Weathered wood panels cover the wall behind the taps, and a window offers a glimpse of metal tanks in the brewing area. A tall garage door opens for outdoor seating on warm days. That Thursday, the tap list offered eight summer brews, including a hoppy pale ale with grapefruit notes, three floral saisons, a gose and a kölsch. The Sunny Days saison, a summery ale with hints of peach and mango, was a popular order. So was the $3.50 grilled-cheese sandwich with a pickle — it’s the only food item on the menu most days, though the bar is stocked with takeout menus from nearby restaurants. Food trucks visit the brewery most Saturdays this summer. As the evening drew on, people trickled through the door in twos and threes and staked out tables for a trivia contest, which happens every other Thursday through August. By 7 p.m., teams were huddled around tables, filling out trivia sheets and sipping beers. Nearly all the seats in the tasting room and on the patio were full. “It’s nice to have a neighborhood pub now,” remarked one guest as he got up to go. —A.S.

Two years later, the Hamiltons established a 15-barrel brewery with a western-themed taproom that recalls its horse-farm origins. Stone Corral draws families who arrive by bicycle for supper at outdoor picnic tables, neighbors who walk to the taproom and commuters who stop in for a beer after work.

The evening before the opening of his exhibition “Bridging Worlds” at the Vermont Supreme Court Gallery, painter Hunter Eddy stopped at Stone Corral Brewery in Richmond to pick up growlers and four-packs for the reception. The beer run turned into a meal and a beer at the brewery for Eddy and his wife, who live in Essex. “We got here and found out it was Taco Tuesday,” Eddy said. “So that was perfect.” Stone Corral itself bridges worlds, serving as a hub for beer, food, live music and local socializing. The

“Our specialty is in bringing local flair to traditional European styles,” Bret Hamilton said. “We focus on balance and drinkability over extreme flavors.” The range of beers made at Stone Corral includes Stampede, a double IPA; High Noon Kölsch, a bright, Germanstyle ale; and Raspberry Black, a fruitinfused dark lager. For dinner, specials such as Taco Tuesday and Burger Thursday supplement a brewpub menu. New chef Billy Jenkerson, formerly of the Blue Stone in Waterbury, took charge of the kitchen this week. He plans to add Fish Friday and Picnic Sunday, serving “simple and

approachable bar food with a Vermont influence.” “I want to create a menu that brings people in who want to stand around and drink good beer and eat good food,” Jenkerson said. Richmonders are getting into that groove. “We joke that you can barhop in Richmond now,” said resident Molly Dugan, enjoying a Trailblazer lager with her husband on the Stone Corral porch.

Ten Bends Beer

590 East Main Street, Hyde Park, 521-7139, tenbendsbeer.com

By day, J Powell is a website designer and Mike Scarlata is an assistant director of finance. Unless it’s a Friday, when Powell arrives at Ten Bends Beer in Hyde Park at sunrise to start brewing. Or a Saturday, when Scarlata drives to a restaurant or bar in Chittenden County with a mission: to get Ten Bends on tap. (He’s gotten yeses from Farmhouse Tap & Grill in Burlington and Mule Bar and Waterworks Food + Drink in Winooski, among other places.) The two friends opened Ten Bends — named for the winding of the Lamoille River — last August. Having won a couple of homebrew contests at Burlington’s ArtsRiot, they decided to start a business together. The duo rented space in a former slaughterhouse on the edge of Hyde Park and built a three-barrel brewery and tasting room with a front deck. The men did most of the work themselves as they raised money and practiced making beer. “We started this brewery intentionally small,” Powell said. “We didn’t

want to dive into something we couldn’t handle.” In addition to the experience he gained from homebrewing on his front porch using old coffee kettles as equipment, Powell said he learned from his stepfather, who owns a brewery in Kalamazoo, Mich. Recently, Ten Bends hired an assistant brewer, Steve Merrill, who attended the brewing school at Drop-In Brewing in Middlebury. The Hyde Park brewery produces about 25 barrels of beer a month in various styles, each reflecting the partners’ commitment to making “Vermont-centric” products. Their IPAs are “hazy, hoppy, cloudy and juicy,” Scarlata said. A dark beer called Fargone Lullaby, recently bottled, is brewed with maple sap in place of water and conditioned on blueberries. The sap comes from Scarlata’s father-inlaw’s farm in Dummerston. This is a delicious beer — a treat to drink — whose flavor belies its alcohol content (9.7 ABV). Equally enjoyable is an ale called Ava Amber, named for Powell’s old dog. Last week at the brewery, a middle school science teacher from Lynn, Mass., sipped a beer while his 2-and-a-halfmonth-old son napped. It was the baby’s third brewery of the day, and sixth in his lifetime. The father, Rob Dunn, is a graduate of Johnson State College with a family home in Wolcott. With plans to open a brewery in Massachusetts, Dunn was on a kind of scouting trip. “It’s called supporting the industry,” he said. “They make good-quality beer here.” —S.P.

The public hearing will take place on Tuesday, August 8, 2017 beginning at 6:45pm in Conference Room 12, City Hall, 149 Church Street, Burlington, VT. Pursuant to the requirements of 24 V.S.A. §4444(b): Statement of purpose: This amendment is proposed to the Burlington CDO as follows: • ZA-17-14: The purpose of this proposed amendment is to correct two gaps in the CDO regarding preschools by adding standards for use for the NAC-CR zoning district to Appendix A-Use Table, and adding minimum off-street parking requirements to Table 8.1.8-1.

SEVENDAYSVT.COM/CLASSIFIEDS • ZA-17-15: The purpose of this proposed amendment is to address duplicity and contradictions between Article 4 and Article 9 regarding development bonuses in neighborhood mixed use and residential zoning districts. In particular, this amendment clarifies the maximum cumulative development bonus allowable for properties in neighborhood mixed use zones by retaining an additional 0.5 FAR bonus, but eliminating a 10 ft height bonus, when providing an additional 5% inclusionary housing over what is required in Article 9. Additionally, this amendment clarifies that development bonuses may be cumulative up to, but not to exceed, the maximum allowable bonuses for properties in residential zones. This amendment also removes the requirement that a residential use created through the adaptive reuse and residential conversion bonuses be conforming to the underlying zoning district, due to the inconsistency this creates in low-density residential districts.

Finally, this amendment corrects a footnote which applies a setback to properties in the NAC, NMU, and NAC-R zones when abutting residential uses, but not to the NAC-CR. • ZA-17-16: The purpose of this proposed amendment is to ensure that language in Article 5 review standards for applications involving a mobile home park clarify that the review standards in Article 3, Part 5 for Conditional Use review apply to new and expanded mobile home parks, but not individually to the alteration or replacement of a mobile home within a park. • ZA-17-17: The purpose of this proposed amendment is to add requirements to the Comprehensive Development Ordinance regarding retaining walls which encroach into a required property setback, design review standards for retaining walls, and provide definitions to distinguish between retaining walls and seawalls. * ZA-18-01: The purpose of this amendment is to establish a new Article 14-planBTV Downtown Code that will regulate all development in

the Downtown and Waterfront district, emphasizing the intended physical form, character of place, and compatibility of uses. This amendment replaces all existing regulations pertaining to development in the Downtown, Downtown Waterfront, Downtown Transition and Battery Street Transition zoning districts. Geographic areas affected: the proposed amendments are applicable to the following areas in the City of Burlington: * ZA-17-14: The first part of this amendment applies to the areas of the City zoned NACCambrian Rise, and the second part of this amendment applies to all Neighborhood, Shared Use and Downtown Parking Districts in which preschools are a permitted use. * ZA-17-15: This amendment applies to all areas of the City within residential and neighborhood mixed-use zoning districts. * ZA-17-16: This amendment applies to areas of the City zoned low and medium density residential (RL,

RL-W, RM, and RM-W) where mobile home parks are permitted as a Conditional Use. * ZA-17-17: This amendment applies to all areas of the City. * ZA-18-01: This amendment applies to all parts of the downtown and waterfront area presently in the Downtown, Downtown Waterfront, Downtown Transition and Battery Street Transition zoning districts. List of section headings affected: • ZA-17-14: This amendment adds preschools as a permitted use within Appendix A- Use Table for the NAC-CR district, and adds parking standards for preschools within Table 8.1.8-1 Minimum Off Street Parking Requirements. • ZA-17-15: This amendment modifies Table 4.4.2-1; and amends text in Sec.4.4.2.(d)3.A. Inclusionary Housing, Sec 4.4.5.(d)7.C. Adaptive Reuse Bonus, Sec 4.4.5.(d)7.D. Residential Conversion Bonus, and Sec 4.4.5.(d)7.E. Limitations on Residential Development Bonuses.

• ZA-17-16: This amendment modifies the text in Sec. 5.4.12 Mobile Home Parks. • ZA-17-17: This amendment modifies text in Sec. 5.2.5 (b) and Sec.6.2.2 (m), and adds two defintions to Article 13 Definitions. • ZA-18-01: This amendment establishes a new Article 14: planBTV: Downtown Code, which replaces all current provisions regarding the Downtown, Downtown Waterfront, Downtown Transition and Battery Street zoning districts, and amends other sections to include the appropriate references to the new article, including the following sections, maps tables, and figures: o Amends Sec. 3.2.1 (a), Sec 3.2.2 , Sec 3.2.2 (e), Sec. 3.2.3, Sec. 3.2.7 (a), Sec. 3.4.2 (b), and Sec. 3.5.2 (b) o Amends Sec 4.3.1 (a) and Sec. 4.3.2 (f) and (g); Strikes Sec. 4.3.2 (h) o Amends Sec 4.4.1 (a) 1-3 and Sec 4.4.1 (a) 5; adds new Sec 4.4.1 (a) 1; and amends Sec 4.4.1 (a) 4; amends Sec 4.4.1 (b) and Sec 4.4.1 (c); amends Sec 4.4.1 (d); amends Sec 4.4.1 (d) 7; and amends Sec 4.4.1 (d) 7 C-E o Strikes Sec 4.4.1 (d) 1.

Me, Myself and I JUL.20 | FILM

NOV.01 | WORDS

“This film started as a graphic design project six years ago, and, somehow, it all became about me,” muses Stefan Sagmeister in a trailer for the 2016 documentary The Happy Film. The movie follows the Grammy Award-winning Austrian designer, who has created album covers for the likes of Jay-Z and the Rolling Stones, on an unconventional journey: Through experiments in meditation, therapy and drugs, the artist aims to become a better, more fulfilled person. Professional association for design AIGA Vermont presents a screening of the film that, as the Hollywood Reporter puts it, “makes clear that Sagmeister is happiest when he’s practicing his craft.”

SEVEN DAYS FREQUENTLY RECEIVES TIPS about upcoming local album releases — sometimes well in advance of anything concrete we can report. After following up on some solid leads we’ve gotten this year, these 10 Vermont-based bands/artists gave us the skinny on their forthcoming works.

BISON

WILLVERINE

Release date: July 27 facebook.com/bisontheband

Release date: August 15 soundcloud.com/willverinemusic

One of the innumerable bands born out of the University of Vermont, selfdescribed disco-punk outfit Bison entered the scene two years ago with their debut EP, PSB — presumably named for one of Burlington’s most popular oases of adult libations, Pearl Street Beverage. They recorded their album Get In at the Gnomehaus in Williston — the stomping grounds of eclectic, sax-centric hip-hop/EDM band Gnomedad. The lead single, “Everything You Say and Do,” is a delightful portent of things to come: Guitarist Charlie Hill’s insouciant vocals melt over caffeinated drum beats and stinging licks and riffs.

Will Andrews, trumpeter for jazz/ hip-hop outfit Japhy Ryder, is just about ready to drop Save Some, his next installment as Willverine. The electrosoul singer-songwriter served up his last album, the maddeningly brief Show Up Late, at the tail end of 2016. Recorded and coproduced with Eric Maier at Future Fields, the new record has “a lot of big orchestration,” Andrews writes via email. If Show Up Late is any indicator, we can expect cinematic strings and horns galore. “This record is about growing up and figuring out how to deal with your past, while looking forward to setting yourself up for the future,” Andrews writes.

Get In

Save Some

ERIC GEORGE

GUTHRIE GALILEO,

Release date: August 23 ericgeorgemusic.com

Release date: late August facebook.com/guthriegalileo

I know what you’re thinking: Didn’t Eric George just release an album? That he did: the gorgeous Smoke the Fire Gives, which came with a fully illustrated, hand-sewn songbook featuring lyrics and guitar tabs. Only a few months later, Burlington’s prince of twang is back with another similarly packaged product called Not About Nightingales. George crafted 300 handstitched copies of the new songbook, and the accompanying record, after successfully raising funds via Kickstarter. In an email, George writes, “I’m starting to figure out how to use my energy … in the most constructive and efficient ways possible.” He goes on to describe Not About Nightingales as like “guests at a dinner table having a meaningful conversation.” It features guest appearances from Pete Sutherland, Shay Gestal, Monique Citro, Luke Hausermann, Sean Keenan, Addie Herbert and Jocie Adams of Arc Iris.

Alternative R&B songwriter/producer Guthrie Galileo follows up his 2014 album The Ifandbut with a sevensong EP called Modern Day Ripples. As a teaser, he released its first single, “Flowers,” in June. You can hear the “ripples” almost instantly as oceanic field recordings underscore dainty harp wavelets. Then the song takes shape as a pulsing, spaced-out bump-and-grind session. “The album is heavy with water symbolism, both lyrically and melodically,” Galileo writes in an email. He presents a curious metaphor in which he likens people and their life experiences to stones cast upon the water. “All stones are shaped considerably by the water around them,” he writes.

Burlington’s Skinny Pancake artist-inresidence, HANNAH FAIR, concludes her weekly residency on Wednesday, July 26. But instead of flying solo, as she’s mostly done during her seven-month stint, she’s reuniting with her old crew, the NORTH END HONEYS. It’s been about two years since the screamin’ honky-tonk group disbanded to pursue other musical avenues. She’ll team up with the usual suspects: guitarist ERIN CASSELS-BROWN, fiddler TUCKER HANSON, and bassist STEVEN WELTER. MADAILA’s WILLOUGHBY MORSE, who also plays alongside Cassels-Brown in the WELTERWEIGHTS, takes up drumming duties, and LITTLE SLUGGER’s BEN CHUGG adds trumpet. Since the show is both a one-off reunion and a send-off for Fair, the group plans to throw caution to the wind and get a little weird with it. They’ll meander in and out of classic country vibes into “psychedelic country,” as Fair puts it in an email.

Now that summer is in full bloom, you’ve probably mapped out your seasonal concert agenda. Between local and regional festivals, free concerts in various parks and the bounty our local clubs offer year-round, you’ve likely had to make yourself a freakin’ Excel spreadsheet to keep track of everything. If so, it’s time to add a new row to that bad boy. Burlington is one of the most recent inductees to the ever-growing list of global cities that offer Sofar Sounds. That’s an intimate concert series that aims to bridge the gap between audience and artist through limitedseating, listening-room-style shows. The series began in London in 2009 and has since spread to 362 cities around the world — so you’re pretty much guaranteed to be not far from the organization’s reach, no matter if you’re chillin’ in Cairo, Egypt, or Mendoza, Argentina. Sofar also operates regionally in Portsmouth, N.H., Portland, Maine, Boston and Montréal. Each event is referred to singularly as a Sofar and has a capacity of approximately 30 to 75 people, depending on the limitations of the venue. Locations tend to be quirky and unconventional whenever possible. Artists perform stripped-down sets, and the shows have no openers or headliners, even when there’s more than one act on the bill. Audiences

are asked to engage fully with the performers and to refrain from talking, texting and internet-ing in general. So keep your phone in your pocket — or, better yet, don’t bring it with you! Sofar pulls its performers from each city’s local scene and often takes a “sandwich” approach to its lineups. The “pieces of bread” are two artists who are well known in a given scene, and the “filling” is an up-and-coming or even completely unknown artist. Sounds scrumptious. Burlington’s inaugural Sofar is on Friday, July 28 — but that’s the only info we have at the moment. Sofar relies heavily on secrecy. The lineup and the locations are always kept under wraps until just a few days before each event. (It kind of reminds me of the chaotic wild-goose chase to find the reclusive indie-rock band WHERE’S FLUFFY? in Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist — except, in this case, I actually want to see the performers.) OK, so if it’s super-duper secret, how the heck does one attend? Here’s how it works: Set up an account with Sofar Sounds. Once a date is announced, you can apply for tickets. Yup, that’s right. Entry is not guaranteed. While that might feel a bit exclusionary, it’s just the nature of the beast. It goes back to the emphasis on secrecy and keeping things small and focused. And here’s another fun fact about Sofar: It’s always BYOB. This practice cuts down on trips back and forth

BRETT HUGHES

Sooner or Later « P.64 Story of an Immigrant

Originally from Costa Rica, “Mal” Maiz Vargas Sandoval is best known for hosting the formerly weekly Latin Sessions at Burlington’s Radio Bean. He’s probably the only musician in the area whose signature style is cumbia. Though its origin can be traced to Colombia, the West African-influenced genre is wildly popular from Argentina to Mexico. Mal Maiz just finished mastering his debut record, Story of an Immigrant, at Concordia University in Montréal. He plans to press the seven-track EP to vinyl at some point this fall. Maiz and his Afro-Cumbia Orchestra will present the album in its entirety at an albumrelease event in August.

Maybe I Will

Release date: early November facebook/bretthughesmusic

ROUGH FRANCIS

Despite decades of experience, country music aficionado Brett Hughes has never released a solo record — until now. After a successful crowdsourcing campaign, Hughes announced in April that he was heading to Brad Jones’ famed studio Alex the Great Recording in Nashville, Tenn. With a working title of Maybe I Will, the 11-track album features a horde of Vermont-based talent: pedal steel master Brett Lanier, fiddler Caleb Elder, and vocalists Marie Claire and Kat Wright, as well as roots duo Dwight & Nicole. “I’ve been sitting with and listening to the tracks,” Hughes writes in an email. “I’m incredibly happy with what we’ve produced thus far.”

MADAILA

MSP3: Counter Attack

In February, riot-rockers Rough Francis dropped a DIY cassette tape — a sort of amuse-bouche for their upcoming full-length album. Its no-holds-barred, steadfast fury was the rock pick-me-up we needed in the dead of winter. And now, more than four years after their debut, Maximum Soul Power, Rough Francis’ second full-length album is recorded, mixed and waiting in the wings. Front man Bobby Hackney Jr. writes via email that the new album features

Songs in C Release date: late 2017 musicofmadaila.com

On New Year’s Eve, Madaila surprised their audience with a brand-new collection of songs, just months after releasing their sophomore LP, Traces. The new work, an EP called Songs in C, was ambiguously scheduled for a release at some point in 2017. In an email, Madaila front man Mark Daly writes, “Definitely some soul vibes,

and [it’s] also a little more simplified than … Traces. “Songs touch on love, growing up, listening to the radio in the ’50s,” he continues. “Even a slight politically charged response to some recent horrendous events — i.e., Trump.”

Release date: late 2017 ivamae.com

Singer-songwriter Ivamae has been building buzz since she dropped her three-track Ocean Studios EP in late 2016, which she coproduced with Thomas Pearo. For her LP, she enlisted Rough Francis’ Urian Hackney to coproduce. We can expect more of the raw intimacy heard on her EP. As Ivamae puts it in an email, “I really aim to invoke a personal reaction out of every listener. Hit ’em in the heart, ya know?” She adds that her still-untitled debut LP will feature a live choir, which she’s been dreaming of for years. Expect this holy ensemble to feature some notable locals — though Ivamae is tight-lipped about who they are.

MIRIAM BERNARDO Release date: late 2017 miriambernardo.com

KAT WRIGHT guitarist BOB WAGNER leads

an all-star ensemble for a special event called A Midsummer Mosaic on Saturday, July 22, at Nectar’s in Burlington. The semi-experimental/ jam-based spectacular features CRAIG BROADHEAD (TURKUAZ), JOHN KIMOCK (MIKE GORDON BAND), JOSH WEINSTEIN (KAT WRIGHT), STEVE HADEKA (SETH YACOVONE BAND) and TYLER MAST (PARADISE DIVIDE). It’s a rare opportunity to see this particular lineup together, since they’re all frequently on tour with their various projects. And, given the name and the magical implications of the word “midsummer” — looking at you, WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE — it’s likely to be a memorable experience. Burlington’s ADVENTURE DOG add support.

Miriam Bernardo has been working on her debut for the last three years. The Steady Betty singer concocted the project with singer-songwriter and producer Peg Tassey — who recently came out of retirement after a 12-year hiatus from performing. The pair enlisted a slew of Vermont-based songwriters to pen tracks for Bernardo, including Michael Chorney, Anaïs Mitchell, Mark LeGrand, James Harvey and Colin McCaffrey. Since the album comes from the minds of so many different songwriters, Bernardo doesn’t claim that it has a particular sound — which makes it all the more intriguing. “I am the connective piece, conduit of cohesiveness in all of it,” she writes in an email. “And, man, has it challenged me in the best way.” !

REVIEW this Chad Hollister Band, Stop the World

contained within expertly re-creates the uninspiring sounds of the Black Crowes, the Goo Goo Dolls, Blues Traveler — you get the idea. It’s generic, relies heavily on clichés and may cause the listener to slip into a diabetic coma. What the record does have going for it is the production. Its vibrant horn

and string arrangements are detailed and compelling. The guitar tones are perfectly calibrated, Hollister’s vocals are strong and pristine, and an overall sheen suggests quality craftsmanship in the studio. These attributes distract from the banal songwriting. You know when you’re watching a horror movie and thinking, Don’t go in there, don’t go in there — but then the characters always do? Stop the World contains more than a few such moments. For instance: the title track. I hoped the title phrase would not be followed by “cuz I wanna get off.” (Don’t go in there!) But it is — and the full statement is repeated throughout. Hollister brazenly adds scat singing into the mix on the rocksteady-tinged “B.O.D.I.” with mixed results. While he does string together nonsense syllables with a silver tongue, it seems out of place on what might be the best song on the record.

The reggae vibe briefly returns in the climax to “Mama Knows,” a soul-rock crusher that delineates a standard set of values and life lessons. (“Eat your broccoli!”) “Breathe” is a sickly sweet song of reassurance along the lines of the Goo Goo Dolls’ “Your Name,” and Hollister’s raspy affectation is cloying. The Chad Hollister Band are probably best suited to listeners who prefer the middle of the FM dial. But Hollister’s affability could strike a chord with anyone who hews to the bright side — or needs to. Stop the World is available on iTunes. Catch Chad Hollister and his Large Band on Thursday, July 20, at Battery Park in Burlington, and on Wednesday, July 26, at the Martha Pellerin & Andy Shapiro Memorial Bandstand in Middlesex.

a prominent member of the emerging Street Religion crew. Then, like so many great things here in the Green Mountains, it all ended too soon. The circumstances of Cause and Effect’s break are beyond the scope of this review. What matters are these raw, urgent songs. The Field is a living documentary of Vermont’s heroin crisis and a testament to the human spirit.

Vazy cuts an admirably tight line as a rap writer. He is concise and clever and demonstrates a lot of range. “Annie” is a storytelling song about addictions destroying relationships. “Fantasy” is a concept track packed with impressive wordplay. Bangers such as “Doormat” prove he’s got a black belt in shittalking. The title track, fittingly, is the gravitational center of the album. It is brutal and relentless and will probably be in rotation for years to come. Even if it’s ugly, creating a theme song for your hometown is a serious achievement for any rapper. His opening verse is a double-time blast of cinematic bars. It’s a technically dazzling performance. The Field is hardly pop music, but the sound is deeply rooted in the crossover radio hits of the ’90s: Ruff Ryders, Faith Evans and Mary J. Blige, for example. The So.802 Studios collective were a deeply musical crew, and every track here is an anthem.

Which brings us to the strangest aspect of this project: the almost complete lack of credits. There are guest artists on most of the cuts here, yet the track list doesn’t reflect that at all. The back cover of the CD credits seven cowriters, but it’s hard to parse who did what. Stranger still, contacting the artist directly didn’t do much to clear anything up. This is Vazy’s show, certainly. He produces his own beats, he does his own engineering and the project is the fruit of countless hours of hard work. It’s just incredibly odd to be releasing tracks with guest rappers and not even billing them in the title. Still, The Field is an essential bit of Vermont rap history. The So.802 Studios movement was a chapter in an ongoing story. They put so much work into it that it would have been a tragedy for all these songs to go unheard. The Field by Vazy is available at CD Baby.

Chad Hollister seems like a really nice guy. If there’s one thematic element that connects his ever-growing catalog — which dates back to his 1998 mononymous debut, Chad — it’s positivity. Even his more downcast songs are uplifting. To build a career on sunshine and rainbows is surely commendable, especially when there’s so much ugliness and grief in the world. I just wished that I liked his music more. The term “adult contemporary” is frequently applied to Hollister. But can we really keep “contemporary” in the descriptor if his sound is trapped in the ’90s? That’s what I kept thinking while listening to his fifth studio album, Stop the World. The saccharine schlock-rock

Vazy — given name Brad Veysey — has been an integral part of the hip-hop scene in Springfield, Vt., for years. The drummer, producer and talented MC’s latest album, The Field, is both a solo statement and a swan song. Veysey isn’t exactly retiring, but his focus is on his family from here on out. The tracks here emerged from sessions at So.802 Studios, a performance and recording space he founded with Jibba the Gent in Springfield. Vazy used to be in a group with Jibba called Cause and Effect — sometimes stylized as Causin’ Effect — that released the underground classic Mudd Season mixtape in 2014. Their business quickly became a nexus for local rap, attracting talent such as unsung Windsor legends XP and Yung Breeze. The latter is currently

Hunter Gathers

“Bridging Worlds: Paintings by Hunter Eddy,” Vermont Supreme Court Gallery BY M E G BRAZ I L L

74 ART

SEVEN DAYS

07.19.17-07.26.17

SEVENDAYSVT.COM

unter Eddy fills the Vermont Supreme Court Gallery with 28 oil paintings and one charcoal drawing that befit the gravitas and grandeur of the location. His works are not somber in subject matter, but they have a weightiness not common in contemporary work. The Vermont artist’s paintings are more than simply reminiscent of the Italian masters; he was academically trained in the techniques of Renaissance painting and drawing. Eddy takes inspiration from Caravaggio (1571-1610) and two 19th-century painters, Paul Cézanne (1839-1906) and John Singer Sargent (1856-1925). Although his techniques are traditional, he makes use of a subtle theatrical narrative and frequently injects a contemporary visual element into the work. Eddy’s home and studio are in Essex, where he lives with his wife, Evelyn, and daughter, Giulia. Born in Rutland in 1967, he grew up there and studied at the Art Institute of Boston. His subsequent studies included landscape painting and drawing in Italy and Renaissance-era traditional painting and drawing at the Florence Academy of Art. Eddy was later appointed principal painting instructor at the academy and taught for 10 years in the advanced painting program. In Florence, Eddy cofounded ArtSpace, a center for artists, where he maintained a studio. He has exhibited internationally and received many awards, and his works are in private collections in Europe and the U.S. The paintings on exhibit in the Supreme Court Gallery, created between 2010 and 2017, are a combination of staged portraiture, still lifes and landscapes. As one enters the gallery, Eddy’s mastery of oils is immediately evident. Solid, dark frames surround the paintings; light seems to emanate from inside, highlighting features on a face or the rosiness of a peach.

“Monolith” by Hunter Eddy

The largest work here is a 28-by-32inch still life titled “Works in Progress.” But it’s not the size that attracts the eye. In contrast to Eddy’s well-ordered portraits or small, tidy landscapes, “Works” depicts a disorderly array of objects that have been left on a table, as if their owner has just walked away, perhaps soon to return.

There is much to look at here. A viola with warm, honey-colored wood that gathers and reflects sunlight is the most prominent object on the table. Central to the painting, it rests against two fabric curtains covering the wall behind the table, along with three small canvases in progress. Two small, lidded glass jars hold liquids, perhaps linseed oil

and mineral spirits for mixing with pigments. Papers are strewn about, topped by a writing utensil. A rectangular sculpture, in relief, hangs on one of the curtains. Also part of the still life is a rather enigmatic silver vase with lid askew — an object that appears in many of Eddy’s paintings, often prominently. Here its purpose could be as a prop waiting to be used in another painting. “Works in Progress” may portray Eddy’s own practices of painting, music and writing as they wait for him to return to them, perhaps when he has completed another of the works in this exhibit. Eddy’s still-life paintings suggest that a person is either expected in the room or has recently exited it. That unseen element lends an air of playful expectation to the narrative. Two still-life oil paintings with similar themes serve as cases in point: “Fresh From the Market” (19 by 23 inches) and “Search Party” (20 by 18 inches). In the former, a white bowl, a blueand-white-striped cloth, lemons, pears, and an apple lie carefully unarranged on a table. Some fruit is in the bowl, a few pieces are loose on the table, and three pears stray from the confines of a plastic bag. The cloth is loosely draped, cradling the fruit without covering the table. It’s as though someone arrived home, dropped the produce on the table and stepped away for another errand. Of interest is Eddy’s use of a plastic bag, which disrupts any semblance of a 19th-century atmosphere. Without it, the viewer might be looking at a painting hundreds of years old; with it, Eddy pulls us back into the 21st century. “Search Party” ostensibly makes use of the same bowl, table and cloth, along with 10 peaches and a plastic bag. Three peaches have escaped their bag; one has been cut in half, revealing its flesh. There is no mistaking that a human has had a hand in this. In fact, a human has been

“Search Party” by Hunter Eddy

AS ONE ENTERS THE GALLERY,

EDDY’S MASTERY OF OILS IS IMMEDIATELY EVIDENT. He writes in an artist statement, “In painting, my main goal is to create an impression of light and depth over and around the objects or people I choose to paint.” Eddy works only from life, never from photographs, and he uses only natural light. He still grinds his own paints,

Tasiopoulos draws heavily from found snapshots of the early 20th century, constructing drawings and textile collage around fragmented and reassembled portraits. Through July 20.

movies The Big Sick ★★★★★

like to think that, had I moved to LA, as I talked about doing throughout my twenties, and taken even a lackadaisical whack at realizing my dream of working in the movie business, I could’ve been Judd Apatow. I could’ve been the guy who redefined film comedy. I could’ve been envied for my Midas touch for discovering fresh talent. Maybe in my next incarnation. Meanwhile, my inner Apatow is constantly on high alert, one eye out for the next big trend, the other for the next big star. And, for what it’s worth — which, I’m guessing, will prove rather less than Apatow nets as producer of The Big Sick — I can say I spotted Kumail Nanjiani first. From the moment in 2011 when I saw him play a cellphone salesman on “Portlandia,” I knew he was going to be huge. Watch that clip and you’ll see a) Nanjiani is charismatic, borderline adorable; b) his timing and delivery are flawless; and c) the camera loves him. I recall reading an interview with the show’s cocreator, Fred Armisen, in which he recounted asking the Pakistan-born comic to come up with something about phone plans. Presto, Nanjiani

REVIEWS

pulled that classic bit out of his hat. So, d) the dude can write comedy. Six years, a dozen sitcom stints and a smattering of small movie roles later, Nanjiani and his wife, Emily V. Gordon, have written the year’s best comedy, an Annie Hall for the age of ISIS. The Big Sick is inspired by the couple’s real-life courtship. Nanjiani plays a slightly fictionalized version of himself, and Zoe Kazan costars as Emily. The picture re-creates Nanjiani’s days as a struggling Chicago standup. One night he finds himself semi-heckled by a young woman and winds up bringing her home. They continue to see each other while insisting with deadpan seriousness that they’re not dating. Nonetheless, it’s clear the two are falling in love. They’re such appealing, deftly etched characters, it’s a bummer when problems arise. First, Emily calls things off after learning Kumail has kept their relationship a secret from his strict Muslim parents. Next, she’s rushed to the hospital with a potentially fatal illness requiring doctors to place her in a coma. No joke. That happened. It’s amazing how many different kinds of movie The Big Sick succeeds as. In addition to being a love story, a culture-clash comedy and a Funny People-style portrait of the

THE BIG SURPRISE Nanjiani and Gordon’s big-screen baby is beating the odds, setting box office records for an independent comedy.

comic milieu, it’s a window into what it’s like to be Muslim American in a post-9/11 world. Few comics could wring laughs from bits about terrorism, religious bigotry and, yup, ISIS, but Nanjiani makes it look effortless — even though his director is Michael Showalter, who last year inflicted Hello, My Name Is Doris on humanity. I’ve saved the best for last. While Emily is in a coma, Kumail is left to contend with her distraught, distrusting parents, who’ve been told everything. As Terry and Beth, Ray Romano and Holly Hunter are beyond brilliant. The film deepens with their arrival and takes

one unexpected turn after another, right up until the credits roll (you’ll want to stay). A couple dealing with their own problems and imperfections, they deserve an Apatow vehicle all their own. You know, This Is 60. On the heels of producing Begin Again and Trainwreck, Apatow has just hit a career high. Who could’ve imagined his finest two hours would be made possible by a soft-spoken, slightly warped comic powerhouse who spent the first half of his life in Pakistan? Well, besides me.

War for the Planet of the Apes ★★★★

ith nationalist and nativist movements on the rise outside the theater, there’s something both quaint and refreshing about another Planet of the Apes sequel. Alone among recent blockbusters, these films repeatedly ask us to root against the characters who look, act and talk like us. And they succeed — though, granted, Andy Serkis’ masterfully human performance as the chimpanzee patriarch Caesar has a lot to do with that. When used artfully, motion capture has reached a point where we no longer think about the technology we’re seeing, just the character. And Caesar is a great one. Still chimp-like enough not to feel jarringly anthropomorphized, he’s taken on Shakespearean and biblical dimensions over the course of the three modern Apes films. In Rise of the Planet of the Apes (2011), the chimp received the gift (or curse?) of intelligence that transformed him into a liberator of his kind. In Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, he battled a dark doppelgänger who tried to turn that liberation into a bloodbath. Now, in War, he comes up against his worst human adversary: a nihilist soldier-turned-cultleader called the Colonel (Woody Harrelson) who’s determined to rid the world of dangerously smart apes. Directed and cowritten by Matt Reeves (Dawn), the film has an evocative look and mood that can’t quite outweigh a sloppy, uneven story structure. In the first half, which

APE-OCALYPSE NOW Serkis continues to prove himself the Laurence Olivier of motion-capture actors in Reeves’ uneven but stirring sequel.

plays like a Western-tinged road movie, Caesar and his closest lieutenants set out to find the soldiers responsible for an unprovoked attack on the ape colony. Their plan is to draw the enemy away from their kind’s migration to safety. But that goal becomes irrelevant in the second half, as the film abruptly shifts gears and becomes a prison flick. The same virus that made the apes smart has decimated humanity, and Reeves gives

his California landscapes a dreamy, elegiac desolation. The apes’ refuge in Muir Woods has a misty grandeur; an ambush behind a waterfall takes place in terrifying chiaroscuro. There’s both beauty and aimlessness in the road-movie section, a sense of random discovery that recalls the weirder sci-fi films of the early 1970s. Along the way, Caesar’s crew acquires a mute human child (Amiah Miller) and a comical chimp sidekick (Steve

Zahn) who thinks his name is “Bad Ape” because he learned English by eavesdropping on the zookeepers. If that sounds a bit unlikely, a revelation later in the film strains credulity even further. But plausibility has never been the strong suit of the Apes movies, past or present; they rig the science to explore the question of what would happen if Homo sapiens lost its position at the top of the food chain. Here, what mainly happens is that Serkis acts circles around Harrelson, whose scenery-chewing Colonel feels like an extended, tired steal from Apocalypse Now. Between him and the Moses-like figure that Caesar has become, there’s simply no contest. The reboot series has traded the philosophizing of the early-’70s Apes films for striking visuals and action sequences, but it gets the same point across. The promised “war,” it turns out, is primarily an interhuman conflict; with a few exceptions, these apes are better than we at grasping the principle of solidarity for survival. That was the final message of the movie that started it all in 1968, and it’s nice to find its hoary Hollywood humanism — yes, that’s the word — still alive in 2017. The implication is clear: If we can extend empathy to a bunch of simians, why not to one another? MARGO T HARRI S O N

How far would a parent go to protect his child's future? Think of this tense drama from ground-breaking Romanian director Cristian Mungiu (4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days) as a less violent Death Wish. Provincial doctor Romeo (Adrian Titieni) has placed all his hopes on his bright daughter (Maria-Victoria Dragus), who just won a scholarship to study in England. Then the aftermath of an assault throws her life — and his — into turmoil. Romeo always thought himself above seeking help from the corrupt officials who run his country; now he's not so sure. A.O. Scott of the New York Times calls the Cannes-honored Graduation "a rigorously naturalistic film that at times feels as claustrophobic and suspenseful as a horror movie." It starts Friday at the Savoy Theater in Montpelier.

RACHEL LIVES HERE NOW

REAL FREE WILL ASTROLOGY BY ROB BREZSNY JULY 20-26

ture the web of life that nurtures you. The cosmos will offer you lots of help and inspiration whenever you attend to these practical and sacred matters. Best-case scenario: You will bolster your personal power for many months to come.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Two talking por-

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22)

I predict that, four weeks from now, you will be enjoying a modest but hearty feeling of accomplishment — on one condition: You must not get diverted by the temptation to achieve trivial successes. In other words, I hope you focus on one or two big projects, not lots of small ones. What do I mean by “big projects”? How about these: taming your fears, delivering a delicate message that frees you from an onerous burden, clarifying your relationship with work and improving your ability to have the money you need.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): The Greek word philokalia is translated as the “love of the beautiful, the exalted, the excellent.” I propose that we make it your keyword for the next three weeks — the theme you keep at the forefront of your awareness everywhere you go. But think a while before you say yes to my invitation. To commit yourself to being so relentlessly in quest of the sublime would be a demanding job. Are you truly prepared to adjust to the poignant sweetness that might stream into your life as a result?

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Spain’s most revered mystic poet was St. John of the Cross, who lived from 1542 to 1591. He went through a hard time at age 35, when he was kidnapped by a rival religious sect and imprisoned in a cramped cell. Now and then he was provided with scraps of bread and dried fish, but he almost starved to death. After 10 months, he managed to escape and make his way to a convent that gave him sanctuary. For his first meal, the nuns served him warm pears with cinnamon. I reckon that you’ll soon be celebrating your own version of a jailbreak, Leo. It’ll be less drastic and more metaphorical than St. John’s but still a notable accomplishment. To celebrate, I invite you to enjoy a ritual meal of warm pears with cinnamon. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “I’m very attracted to things that I can’t define,” says Belgian fashion designer Raf Simons. I’d love for you to adopt that attitude, Virgo. You’re entering the Season of Generous Mystery. It will be a time when you can generate good fortune for yourself by being eager to get your expectations overturned and your mind blown. Transformative opportunities will coalesce as

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): I’ve compiled a list of four mantras for you to draw strength from. They’re designed to put you in the proper alignment to take maximum advantage of current cosmic rhythms. For the next three weeks, say them periodically throughout the day. 1. “I want to give the gifts I like to give rather than the gifts I’m supposed to give.” 2. “If I can’t do things with excellence and integrity, I won’t do them at all.” 3. “I intend to run on the fuel of my own deepest zeal, not on the fuel of someone else’s passions.” 4. “My joy comes as much from doing my beautiful best as from pleasing other people.” SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The world will never fully know or appreciate the nature of your heroic journey. Even the people who love you the most will only ever understand a portion of your epic quest to become your best self. That’s why it’s important for you to be generous in giving yourself credit for all you have accomplished up to now and will accomplish in the future. Take time to marvel at the majesty and miracle of the life you have created for yourself. Celebrate the struggles you’ve weathered and the liberations you’ve initiated. Shout “Glory hallelujah!” as you acknowledge your persistence and resourcefulness. The coming weeks will be an especially favorable time to do this tricky but fun work. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): I suspect

you may have drug-like effects on people in the coming weeks. Which drugs? At various times, your impact could resemble cognac, magic mushrooms and ecstasy — or sometimes all three simultaneously. What will you do with all that power to kill pain and alter moods and expand minds? Here’s one possibility: Get people excited about what you’re excited about, and call on them to help you bring your dreams to a higher stage of development. Here’s another: Round up the support you need to transform any status quo that’s boring or unproductive.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves.” So said psychologist Carl Jung. What the hell did that meddling, self-important know-it-all mean by that? Oops. Sorry to sound annoyed. My cranky reaction may mean I’m defensive about the possibility that I’m sometimes a bit preachy myself. Maybe I don’t like an authority figure wagging his finger in my face because I’m suspicious of my own tendency to do that. Hmmm. Should I therefore refrain from giving you the advice I’d planned? I guess not. Listen carefully, Capricorn: Monitor the people and situations that irritate you. They’ll serve as mirrors. They’ll show you unripe aspects of yourself that may need adjustment or healing. AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18): A source of tough and tender inspiration seems to be losing some of its signature potency. It has served you well. It has given you many gifts, some difficult and some full of grace. But now I think you will benefit from transforming your relationship with its influence. As you might imagine, this pivotal moment will be best navigated with a clean, fresh, open attitude. That’s why you’ll be wise to thoroughly wash your own brain — not begrudgingly, but with gleeful determination. For even better results, wash your heart, too.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): A “power animal” is a creature selected as a symbolic ally by a person who hopes to imitate or resonate with its strengths. The salmon or hare might be a good choice if you’re seeking to stimulate your fertility, for example. If you aspire to cultivate elegant wildness, you might choose an eagle or horse. For your use in the coming months, I propose a variation on this theme: the “power fruit.” From now until at least May 2018, your power fruit should be the ripe strawberry. Why? Because this will be a time when you’ll be naturally sweet, not artificially so; when you will be juicy, but not dripping all over everything; when you will be compact and concentrated, not bloated and bursting at the seams; and when you should be plucked by hand, never mechanically.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): It’s a favorable time to strengthen your fundamentals and stabilize your foundation. I invite you to devote your finest intelligence and grittiest determination to this project. How? Draw deeply from your roots. Tap into the mother lode of inspiration that never fails you. Nur-

cupines are enjoying an erotic tryst in a cactus garden. It’s a prickly experience, but that’s how they like it. “I always get horny when things get thorny,” says one. Meanwhile, in the rose garden next door, two unicorns wearing crowns of thorns snuggle and nuzzle as they receive acupuncture from a swarm of helpful hornets. One of the unicorns murmurs, “This is the sharpest pleasure I’ve ever known.” Now here’s the moral of these far-out fables, Gemini: Are you ready to gamble on a cagey and exuberant ramble through the brambles? Are you curious about the healing that might become available if you explored the edgy frontiers of gusto?

you simmer in the influence of enigmas and anomalies. Meditate on the advice of the poet Rainer Maria Rilke: “I want to beg you to be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and to try to love the questions themselves.”
