TRUMP’S TURNAROUND

Donald Trump said on late-night TV that he’d debate Sen. Bernie Sanders, then changed his mind about taking on a “second-place finisher.” Yugely disappointing.

UNIFORM WELCOME

COPS SEEK TRANSGENDER MAN’S KILLER A

Police Chief Brandon del Pozo Amos Beede noted in an update that Beede was a transgender person.

“The investigation suggests motives on the part of perpetrators independent of this fact,” his statement read. “The department has not ruled out the victim’s transgender status as a possible additional motive, and will seek to determine what role, if any, it may have played as the investigation continues. Until the attendant facts are clarified, we will continue to view this homicide as a possible bias incident.”

Two years ago, Davis covered a fatal assault in the same area — an incident that drew attention to the city’s homeless encampments.

To read the full posts, and ongoing coverage, head to sevendaysvt.com.

TOO HOT TO TROT

Even though the Vermont City Marathon & Relay was called off because of heat about four hours after it started, many runners sweated their way to the finish line. Congrats!

REALLY DISTRACTED

Cops charged a man with lewd conduct for allegedly masturbating while driving in Woodford. At least he wasn’t sexting.

1. “GOP Official Alleges Bernie Sanders Pressured Bank for Burlington College Loan” by Terri Hallenbeck. Brady Toensing called for an investigation into an allegation that Sen. Bernie Sanders helped Burlington College get a loan when his wife ran the school.

2. “WTF: What’s the Story With the Hidden Cemetery in Waterbury?” by Ken Picard.

If you’ve ever wondered about that small graveyard visible from Interstate 89, here’s the story: Revolutionary War veteran Zachariah Bassett is there, but his headstone isn’t.

3. “Sampling Seven Food Trucks of Summer 2016” by Julia Clancy, Ethan de Seife, Hannah Palmer Egan and Suzanne Podhaizer. Summer is coming, and so are the food trucks.

4. “Canteen Creemee Company Opens in Waitsfield” by Suzanne Podhaizer. The new Mad River Valley snack bar was mobbed on its opening weekend.

5. “Sanders Endorsement Nets Pearson $60K for State Senate Bid” by Paul Heintz. When Sen. Bernie Sanders endorsed Rep. Chris Pearson, donations started rolling in.

mos Beede of Milton was well known on Burlington’s Church Street and in the local homeless community. That’s according to the Pride Center of Vermont, which posted a write-up about Beede after he died in Burlington as a result of a violent assault.

“Whenever he came into the Pride Center of Vermont, the first thing he’d do is pet my colleague’s dog, Georgia, and give her a big hello,” executive director Kim Fountain was quoted as saying. “He was always very cheerful when he came in to visit and spend time with his friends. He was out about being a transgender man, and I think he felt at home at the Pride Center.”

On May 25, the cops responded to a call directing them to an area off Pine Street near the Barge Canal, as Mark Davis reported on our Off Message blog. They found 38-year-old Beede unconscious. At the University of Vermont Medical Center, doctors discovered broken facial bones, a subdural hematoma and several broken ribs.

Police said at the time that they were investigating the crime as a potential “bias incident” — aka a hate crime.

On Sunday, Beede died from his injuries, according to police.

After the Citadel rejected a Muslim teen’s request to wear a hijab, Norwich University said she can — so she’ll attend the Vermont military school.

Forward, march!

FEEDback READER REACTION TO RECENT ARTICLES

WILDLIFE FOR ALL

Re [“Going for Gobblers,” May 11]: Louis Porter, commissioner of the Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department, claims that his department adheres to the North American Model of Wildlife Conservation. He calls this approach to management “a very democratic idea” in which “wildlife belongs to all people” and says that “regulated hunting, fishing and trapping provide the way to manage those species and also provide revenue to pay for their conservation.”

The NAMWC has come under intense scrutiny and criticism by environmental professionals. It is flawed, inadequate and poorly constructed, with a biased historical basis and a misguided ethical premise.

Hunters have traditionally claimed that their “sport” supplies the funding for conservation efforts nationwide. In fact, recent studies demonstrate that 94 percent of total funding for wildlife conservation and management comes from the nonhunting public. But hunters make virtually all decisions regarding wildlife management.

In reality, there is little adherence to the seven guiding tenets of the NAMWC

by Vermont Fish & Wildlife. Two principles routinely overlooked include the stipulations that wildlife resources are a public trust and that science is the proper tool to discharge wildlife policy. Rather, there is no transparency, no inclusion of the public in Fish & Wildlife policy decisions, nor any sense of accountability to the public. Letters to the board and

TIM NEWCOMB

recommendations from wildlife biologists are ignored, no members of the nonhunting community sit on the board and public commentary is rarely allowed. The department is biased toward special interest groups who recklessly kill wildlife with no regard for conservation principles or the rights of the nonhunting constituency.

STAMFORD

WHO FAILED BURLINGTON COLLEGE?

The trustees of Burlington College had a fiduciary responsibility for the fate of the college. They purchased the diocese land, and they sold it. [“After Burlington College’s Collapse, More Questions Than Answers,” May 18] indicates that “Jane O’Meara Sanders was the school’s president when it took on the debt that led to its demise.” This makes it seem as if the purchase of the land had been unwise, whereas it had been a courageous response to an exceptional opportunity by an ambitious president, and the college had succumbed to a series of financial accidents: The expected enrollment increase didn’t materialize, the burden of the mortgage was overwhelming, the bank inexplicably withdrew the line of credit.

But none of those would have destroyed the college if the trustees had done their job. Instead, they failed to support the original mission of the college and — in a

WEEK IN REVIEW

move that is baffling and, from my point of view, criminal — simply refused to do any fundraising after incurring a $10 million dollar obligation. No fundraising to service the debt, no fundraising to bring the original diocese building up to code, no fundraising for scholarships, no fundraising to create a viable endowment.

Nothing. Zero. Their only actions were to sell off the most valuable assets of the college and to stand by and not lift a finger while the college administration pilfered a restricted gift meant to provide scholarship aid to deserving students.

The debt did not lead to the demise of Burlington College; the trustees did.

committed by 16- and 17-year-olds be filed in Family Division, aka juvenile court, and not Criminal Division. Presently children as young as 16 may be charged as adults for any crime. The decision on where to file is solely that of the prosecutor.

Recently prosecutors, to their credit, have begun filing most cases in Family Division. However, a significant number of 16- and 17-year-olds are still prosecuted as adults. The result of a conviction is an adult criminal record, which makes it difficult, if not impossible, for youth to access employment, public housing and college loans.

Advocates have been seeking this change for more than three decades.

There are numerous people to thank, notably Reps. Maxine Grad, Willem Jewett and Barbara Rachelson of the House Judiciary Committee and Sen. Dick Sears Untitled-33 of the Senate Judiciary Committee. The bill was also championed by the state’s attorneys, Ken Schatz and Cindy Walcott of the Department for Children and Families, and Marshall Pahl and Sara Puls of the Defender General’s Office.

This change recognizes principles of adolescent brain development and the overwhelming number of studies that show far better results when the justice system treats children as children and not adults. It’s a reflection of a society that views young people as prospective productive citizens rather than young criminals. Bravo!

SEVENDAYSVT.COM

[“What’s Wrong With Burlington’s Senior Centers?” May 4] rightly points out the need for more public financial support.

However, as a member of the Champlain Senior Center, I object to the breezily condescending tone. Jell-O strengthens fingernails. Armchair exercise keeps us limber. Some of us dance more than the hokey pokey with Bhutanese seniors to promote friendship, and our Bhutanese neighbors are avid card players.

Director Bonnie Campono organizes it all on a budget that has never been more than $138,000 — I checked. She finds people to give expert advice complete with Q&As about nutrition, knee or hip replacement, and relaxation methods, to name a few of the topics. Then there are sing-alongs, talks about poetry and fiction, and lessons in American Sign Language.

Lunch is not just a balanced and nutritious meal; it is about conversation. We talk about family, health, the weather, and local and national politics. We are Vermonters, after all.

These conversations have a common denominator: the comfort of companionship that comes from knowing that we share the experience of living for more than six decades.

Many cultures value that experience; ours does not.

Big Joe Burrell died on February 2, 2005; see the statue of him playing saxophone on Church Street, outside Halvorson’s.

HE

The college-aged and the middle-aged, black and white, come to hear Big Joe Burrell at Halvorson’s, or wherever he performs. But some of these fans may not entirely grasp just what it is they revere about him. Yes, the voice, the sax, the avuncular kindness with other players. But guitarist Paul Asbell, who has played with Burrell for 25 years in the Unknown Blues Band, surmises there’s something larger at work, and it’s no less than the compelling history of black American music.

“When I first met him, musically what was clear to me was Joe had the older vocabulary of jazz players like Ornette Coleman as well as the blues vocabulary as played by jazz players,” Asbell muses. “As soon as he started singing, it was clear he was much more than a blues player — he had the feel of a real R&B singer. You don’t typically hear that in the sax players of his generation … There’s something iconic about people who are born professional entertainers,” Asbell continues. “I think [Joe’s fans] are aware this guy is the real deal.”

OPEN SEASON ON VERMONT POLITICS BY PAUL HEINTZ

They Love a Parade

s marching bands and fire departments took their places Monday morning in the Vergennes Union High School parking lot, Lt. Gov. PHIL SCOTT taped “Thank a Vet Today” placards to the sides of a campaign vehicle — a black Ford pickup truck.

Wearing jeans and a T-shirt, Vermont’s sole statewide elected Republican took a break to admire the vintage military motorcycle mounted to the truck’s bed. It was a 1941 Indian 841, emblazoned with a U.S. Army star and featuring a holstered rifle strapped in front of the handlebars.

“I’ve been looking for one for a while,” the LG said, noting that his father had served in World War II and fought in the D-day invasion. “It’s a little interesting: foot clutch, suicide shift, throttle on the wrong side so that they could get to the gun, I guess. But anyhow, it’s kind of a cool bike, and it just means a lot to me.”

So much that when Scott bought it late last fall from a Florida man, he drove “24 hours straight” to pick it up — and then 24 hours straight back.

Such spur-of-the-moment road trips might be a thing of the past for Scott, who’s now engaged in the toughest race of his career: to become the Republican governor of the nation’s most liberal state. That contest formally began last Thursday with the passing of a deadline for state candidates to turn in their petitions to the Secretary of State’s Office.

It informally began over the weekend, at Memorial Day parades in Essex Junction, Middlebury, Vergennes and elsewhere.

“I love parades,” Scott’s primaryelection rival, BRUCE LISMAN, exclaimed as he supervised the preparation of his own float nearby: a pickup truck featuring a massive, phallic arrow pointing toward the clear, blue sky. Inscribed on the arrow — and on most Lisman accessories — were the words “A New Direction.”

A single float, promoting New Haven’s Smith Family Farm, separated the gubernatorial contenders in the high school’s western parking lot, but the two Republicans studiously avoided one another. Scott was steaming over a second attack postcard Lisman’s campaign had just mailed thousands of Vermonters.

Like a similar one sent a week earlier, it featured a photo of the Republican lieutenant governor sharing a warm

moment with Vermont’s unpopular Democratic governor, PETER SHUMLIN. “A picture is worth a thousand words,” the new mailer reads. “Phil Scott won’t change Vermont’s direction.”

Standing next to his armada of parade vehicles — the motorcycle, his Thunder Road SpeedBowl race car, a 1929 Ford Model A, a green cow on wheels and a white minibus — Scott tore into his opponent’s ad.

“I guess I’m not surprised. He’s learned very well on Wall Street,” the LG said, referring to Lisman’s career at two now-defunct financial firms, Bear Stearns and Lehman Brothers. “That doesn’t sound like a new direction … He sounds desperate to me.”

Not so, Lisman maintained.

Sure enough, Shumlin waved up a storm as he marched up Monkton Road in the blazing heat. But the crowd of spectators lining the intersection with Main Street greeted the gov mostly with stony silence or tepid applause. He was accompanied not by a legion of supporters but by a couple of his own employees, including chief of staff DARREN SPRINGER, and two state troopers.

The rest of the Democrats kept their distance from Shumlin, allowing the Ferrisburgh Central School marching band, the town’s fire department and a crew of Civil War reenactors to go first. Far behind their party’s former standard-bearer paraded gubernatorial candidates SUE MINTER, MATT DUNNE and PETER GALBRAITH; Treasurer BETH PEARCE;

SCOTT MILNE AMBLED ALONG THE VERGENNES PARADE ROUTE ENTIRELY ALONE, WITHOUT ANY IDENTIFYING MARKS:

NO SIGNS, NO BANNERS, NO NAME TAG.

“I can tell you our campaign is going really well,” the Shelburne Republican said. “People like what I say. They like my ads. They like these things. People want new ideas.”

On the east side of the high school, eight statewide Democratic contenders milled about a shaded parking lot with a small crowd of legislative candidates, campaign staffers and volunteers. Shortly before the parade began, Shumlin and his wife, KATIE HUNT, pulled up in a black SUV chauffeured by his Vermont State Police detail.

“I love this parade,” the retiring governor said as he slipped out of the vehicle, wearing khakis, shirtsleeves and a green tie. “This might be my final Vergennes parade — at least where I get to march.”

So what tricks of the trade has Shumlin learned during his six years of gubernatorial parading?

“I’d say: Be yourself,” he advised.

And what exactly does that mean for Vermont’s one-of-a-kind gov?

“For me it means, you know, I’m pretty exuberant. I like to wave and have lots of contact with folks,” Shumlin explained.

“Be who you are, and Vermonters will appreciate it.”

Secretary of State JIM CONDOS; lieutenant gubernatorial candidates DAVID ZUCKERMAN and SHAP SMITH; and attorney general candidate T.J. DONOVAN. Pomfret Republican SCOTT MILNE, who has always marched to the beat of his own drum, seemed to be following Shumlin’s advice: He was totally himself.

Four days after submitting petitions to challenge the most powerful Vermont Democrat in the past half-century, Sen. PATRICK LEAHY (D-Vt.), Milne ambled along the Vergennes parade route entirely alone. Wearing blue jeans and a white button-down shirt, he marched without any identifying marks: no signs, no banners, no name tag. To all but the most politically attuned, he looked like some random dad lost in a parade, trying to play it cool.

Perhaps it was all part of Milne’s grand strategy. Shortly before the parade began, he explained that, though he had officially joined the race last week, he wouldn’t really get going for another month.

“Our campaign is really going to be focused between the Fourth of July and Election Day,” he said. “I think if you can’t convince somebody to vote for you

in five months, you probably shouldn’t get elected.”

Sharpe Knives Another leadership contest appeared to begin last week when the Addison County Independent reported that Rep. DAVE SHARPE (D-Bristol) “will be a candidate for speaker of the Vermont House.”

“The headline made it seem like I’m much more of a candidate than perhaps I am,” Sharpe later clarified to Seven Days. “I’m exploring that option.”

Nevertheless, the 14-year Statehouse veteran and chair of the House Education Committee appears to be road-testing his arguments for why he should succeed Smith.

“I’m a consensus-builder,” Sharpe said, pointing to his work passing a major education governance bill out of his committee last year on a unanimous vote.

He conceded that the bill — now a law known as Act 46 — hasn’t been as popular outside the Statehouse and could be a political barrier to his promotion. But he argued that it “has, in fact, moved the state forward.”

Sharpe’s quasi-announcement prompted one of his peers, House Majority Leader SARAH COPELAND HANZAS (D-Bradford), to explicitly state what has been clear for months, if not a year.

“In November, I will run for speaker,” she said. “Right now, I am working to reelect a Democratic majority in the House.”

Copeland Hanzas, who has served in the House for a dozen years, wouldn’t say much more than that, noting that legislative leadership elections don’t typically take place until December.

“Talking about the speaker’s race is putting the cart before the horse, because the folks who elect the speaker haven’t even been elected yet,” she noted.

That shouldn’t be a problem for Copeland Hanzas, a Bradford coffee shop owner who is running unopposed in her House district. But it could be for Sharpe and a third potential candidate for speaker: Rep. MITZI JOHNSON (D-South Hero).

Sharpe faces a three-way primary and two Republican opponents in his twomember district, which includes Bristol, Lincoln, Monkton and Starksboro. Last election, his longtime district-mate, MIKE

FISHER — a fellow Democrat and chair of the House Health Care Committee — was knocked out by Republican FRED BASER. Johnson, who chairs the House Appropriations Committee, faces a four-way primary and two Republican opponents in her two-member district, which includes the Champlain Islands and a slice of Milton. She says she’s “considering” running for speaker, “but there’s a lot of other work to do before I get to that.”

“I spend four and a half months of the year worrying about the state’s finances,” Johnson said. “This is the time of year I have to focus on my own finances a little.”

Fox 44 Statehouse reporter ALEX ROSE moved to North Carolina — also to chase a woman. WCAX-TV anchor ALI FREEMAN hightailed it to Hollywood to, as news director ANSON TEBBETTS put it, “chase her dreams.” And WPTZ-TV president and general manager KYLE GRIMES left for Pennsylvania, where he’ll head another Hearst Television station, WGAL-TV. Before he left, Grimes hired a new evening news anchor to replace the recently departed GEORGE MALLET: BRIAN COLLERAN, who currently works for NBC2 in southwest Florida. He’s expected to start in Vermont in July.

It’s been almost half a century since Vermont faced this much turnover in its leadership ranks. The gov, LG, speaker and Senate president pro tempore are all retiring or running for higher office.

But at the legislative level, the competition isn’t quite so fierce.

According to a nearly final list provided by the Secretary of State’s Office, only 289 major-party candidates have filed to run for the legislature’s 180 seats. That’s roughly 30 more than ran in the last two election cycles but fewer than the 307 who did so in 2010 — the last election to feature open gubernatorial and LG seats.

In the 30-member Senate, seven incumbents are running unopposed: in the Bennington, Caledonia, Grand Isle and Windham county districts. Another three Rutland County incumbents, all Republicans, face a single Democrat, while four Chittenden County Democrats seem equally safe. Currently, Democrats and Progressives control 21 seats, while Republicans hold just nine.

That’s not likely to shift much, given that twice as many Ds and Ps filed this year as did Rs: 36 to 18.

The partisan divide is just as stark in the House. Currently, the 150member body includes 85 Democrats, 53 Republicans, six Progressives and six independents. Back in the 2010 election cycle, the two largest parties ran similar numbers of candidates: 131 Democrats to 107 Republicans. But this time around, 143 people are running in the Democratic primary, while only 89 are running in the GOP primary.

“I’m disappointed,” said House Minority Leader DON TURNER (R-Milton), who had hoped to recruit 100 challengers — not including incumbents — by

the end of February. “I would have loved to have had more candidates. I wanted one for every race.”

Turner found some reason for optimism: Only two members of his caucus are retiring or running for higher office, while 21 House Democrats are. But he conceded that it would be virtually impossible to win back the majority.

According to Copeland Hanzas, who’s in charge of Democratic recruitment, “We’re feeling good about the number of districts we’re challenging in.”

But that number isn’t quite as high as it appears. Of the 143 candidates who filed to run in the Democratic primary, 24 plan to caucus with the Progressives.

Another three candidates are running solely in the Progressive primary. Prog party leaders say they made a strategic shift this year to run their candidates in Democratic primaries, because their odds are better in head-to-head races.

“I’m really excited,” said Vermont Progressive Party executive director KELLY MANGAN. “It’s not simply quantity, of course. It’s the quality of those running. And I believe we have several people who have a really strong shot of picking up seats.”

Education, Interrupted: Burlington College Students Pick Up the Pieces B Y ALI CI A FR EESE

thena Pepe, a Burlington College junior, had just returned from a semester abroad in Cuba when she found out that her school would no longer exist come next fall. In panicked-but-proactive mode, the 22-yearold international relations major began making plans. With help from her adviser, she decided to transfer to Goddard College — one of a handful of institutions that have agreed to automatically accept Burlington College students — for her senior year.

After talking to Goddard representatives, “I felt like I was in good hands,” Pepe said.

Her sense of relief was short-lived. When she called to ask about a refund she was expecting from Burlington College, the financial aid officer told her she actually owed the school nearly $5,000. According to Pepe, the administration won’t send her transcript to Goddard until she pays that sum. “Right now, it’s looking like I’m not going to back to school,” she said. “It’s just a mess.”

Burlington College announced on May 16 that it was closing its academic programs at the end of the month. The small liberal arts school, which catered to nontraditional students since it was established in 1972, had been in a precarious financial situation since it took on $10 million in debt to purchase its waterfront campus in 2010.

The announcement made national news because Jane O’Meara Sanders, the wife of presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), was running Burlington College at the time of the purchase.

The plight of its roughly 100 displaced students received less attention. Some had put down deposits for their first year; others were a mere class away from completing their degrees.

Interim president Carol Moore made assurances that all of them “will be taken care of.”

The New England Association of Schools and Colleges warned Burlington College two years ago that it was in danger of losing accreditation. Shortly after, the NEASC asked the school to devise a “teachout” plan — agreements for students to continue their education if the school were to close. Champlain College, Goddard College, Marlboro College, Green Mountain College, Lyndon State College, Johnson State College and Castleton University had all agreed to accept Burlington College students, according to Moore.

The president described a straightforward process: Students needed to talk to their adviser, pick a school and request that the registrar send their transcripts.

She encouraged them to act by May 20.

EDUCATION

Many did, but students say the process has been anything but smooth.

Pepe isn’t the only one getting tripped up by outstanding debts and bureaucratic battles with the soon-to-be-extinct college. Others have their paperwork in hand but are still trying to figure out the financial implications of a forced transition.

Alumni are also reporting problems getting their transcripts, diplomas and other academic documents. Some are concerned about the value of their degrees now that the college is closed. “My degree comes with a tag on it now,” said Maddie Ballentine, one of about 30 graduates who received their diplomas two days before the school announced it was closing. “I feel like it’s going to be hard to market that.”

College officials say that the remaining staff — about seven people — are doing the best they can to address the daily barrage of requests and questions. But some students, including Pepe, are so upset they’re considering suing the school.

During past semesters, upstate New York native Pepe worked at a restaurant to pay her tuition. But her parents applied for a federal loan to pay for her semester abroad.

Upon returning from Cuba, she found out that she owed the school money because

the loan had been denied — an outcome she blames on Burlington College’s financial aid office, which, she claims, failed to explain the steps her parents needed to take and didn’t respond to their phone calls and emails.

“I can’t pay it back right now,” she said.

“But my transcripts need to be sent out right now.”

Pepe became so frustrated discussing her situation with the financial aid officer that she hung up the phone. In an effort to reach an alternative administrator, she wound up on the phone with Moore.

According to Pepe, their heated exchange ended when she told Moore, “I don’t have to listen to this,” prompting the president to hang up on her.

“I really loved Burlington College for the people I met there and the classes I took and the teachers I had, but this has been the worst experience of my life,” Pepe said.

Speaking up for such aggrieved individuals, three alumni and one former employee held a press conference outside the locked school last Thursday. They read 34 questions for the administration to an audience of two reporters. Among them: How will students get their transcripts after the school has closed, and how will billing disputes get resolved?

School officials have said a “skeletal staff” will continue to work at Burlington College for at least several more weeks, but there’s no firm end date. Programs formally closed last Friday.

Dylan Kelley, a 2013 grad, said students and staff have been unable to get concrete answers to their many questions and, when they call the college, they often have to leave voicemails. He had just taped his list of 34 questions to the front door in protest when Coralee Holm, dean of operations and advancement, unexpectedly opened it from inside. For the next 20 minutes, she stood in the doorway as members of the group asked questions and aired grievances.

“I can’t access my retirement account,” said Karen Lapan, who was fired from her academic coordinator job several years ago.

“It’s something we’re working on,” Holm replied.

About 80 percent of students have picked a new school, according to Holm, but she couldn’t say how many had received records from Burlington College.

Asked whether displaced students with outstanding balances would be denied transcripts, Holm said, “I’m not sure how that will affect them. I just don’t know the answer.”

School Board Seeks Remedy for Teachers’ Costly Sick-Time Payouts B Y M O LLY WA LSH

hen Terry Buehner retired last year after teaching for 45 years in the Burlington School District, she collected a $26,751 payout for unused sick time on top of her annual salary. The history teacher wasn’t alone; she and 23 other retiring or resigning teachers cashed out a total of $457,301 in accumulated sick-leave benefits.

It’s a “little savings plan” for teachers to tap when they retire, Buehner said. “Some travel; some pay off loans,” she said. “With me, I just put it into my overall pension plan.”

Now the Burlington School Board wants to stop extending that golden handshake — a perk that has been in its teachers’ union contract for decades. The board, currently in contract negotiations with the teachers, is pushing to reduce certain benefits as it struggles with budget constraints, flat enrollment and conflicting public sentiment about spending.

This spring, hundreds of parents attended board meetings to criticize proposed teacher layoffs and course cuts, especially at Burlington High School. But some taxpayers praised the board and new superintendent Yaw Obeng for imposing fiscal discipline after years of big increases and snowballing deficits.

It’s important to remember that some residents are telling the board they can’t afford to pay more in taxes, said school board vice chair Stephanie Seguino, a professor of economics at the University of Vermont.

Against that backdrop, the board is trying to make a deal with the union representing its 418 teachers. Talks started last year and have not been easy; the two sides are at an impasse. Teachers are seeking an average 5.3 percent raise, and the board is offering 1.8 percent.

The board says it will consider more generous increases if the union gives up certain perks, including the sick-leave payout and tuition subsidies for graduate school courses.

Eliminating such benefits would give the board more resources to ensure that teachers make a regionally competitive wage, said Seguino, who in the past has argued for alternatives to school suspensions and a new approach to discipline that avoids variations based on race and income. “To reallocate those dollars to salary is what we think is more equitable.”

The payouts are essentially bonuses with no link to individual performance, she added. And retirements can be difficult to anticipate. “If you have a

larger-than-expected number of retirements, then this can put the budget in a deficit situation,” Seguino said. “It’s not something that’s easy to plan for in advance. It leads to more uncertainly in the budget than if we’re allocating these dollars in the form of salary.”

So far, the Burlington Education Association has not budged on the payout provision. It’s one of many sticking points in negotiations to renew the union’s contract. The current three-year pact expires August 31. The board and the union will meet June 30 with a fact finder — a mutually chosen third party who will study the contract issues and make recommendations to help the two sides reach agreement. John Cochran, a Boston-based attorney and arbitrator, has been chosen.

Bob Abbey, president of the BEA, noted that the school board has already whittled down the sick-leave payout for less-senior teachers in previous contracts.

The most veteran qualifying teachers, hired in September 1977 or before, can

collect payouts equal to about a third of their annual salary. Those who came in the next three decades can get up to a quarter of their salary. Teachers who had less than five years of service as of August 31, 2011, or were hired after that date can qualify for a $5,000 payout.

Last year, sick-leave payouts to teachers ranged from $9,106 to $26,751 — with Buehner and another veteran teacher tied for the top sum.

Buehner, who was the BEA president for a decade, thinks the sick payouts should stay in the contract: “To win that at the table meant that we had to give up something else financially, which of course would have been a raise at the time. I think most teachers would say that it’s a benefit that should remain.”

Abbey agrees. Teachers think of accumulated sick leave as an “insurance policy” that they can use if a serious injury or illness forces them off the job for an extended period. And if that isn’t necessary, they see it as a reward at the end of their service.

“You should be compensated that you didn’t take them, in some minor way,” he said.

Teachers aren’t the only ones with the perk: Mark Aliquo, who retired as director of the Burlington Technical Center last year, received the highest sick-leave payout in the district: $31,027. A Burlington High School secretary received $18,684, and a paraprofessional collected $15,498.

Compensation for unused sick or medical leave is a fairly common feature in teacher contracts across the state, said Darren Allen, communications director for the Vermont-National Education Association, which represents thousands of teachers.

It’s less common in the private sector.

A national survey of mostly private sector businesses by the Society for Human Resource Management in New York found that 5 percent of employers offered a sick-leave cash-out. In Vermont, it’s not

n the gray morning of December 1, 2015, Beth Howe tuned out the noise of passing cars and trucks as she walked to work along the narrow shoulder of busy Route 7 in Winooski. Most days, Howe drives from her Burlington home to her job on Water Tower Hill, overlooking Interstate 89’s Exit 16. But every couple of weeks, when she wants to clear her head, she hops on a bus that stops in downtown Winooski, then walks one mile north, mostly uphill, to her office at the Albany College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences.

Just after 8 a.m. on that day, the 43-yearold administrative assistant was approaching the busy I-89 underpass, toting a onegallon water bottle in her backpack, when she heard a screech and a crunch from the highway above.

Danielle Houle-Charbonneau, a 45-year-old project manager from Swanton, had been driving to her office in Williston when she had to stop in the southbound lane on I-89, some 20 feet above Howe’s route. Her BMW was the last in a long line of unmoving cars. An accident had occurred a mile south on the highway, and the morning commute was stalled. Houle-Charbonneau hoped she wouldn’t be late for work.

She glanced in her rearview mirror — and saw a car barreling toward her.

When Houle-Charbonneau realized it wasn’t going to stop, she jerked her steering wheel to the left, aiming her car toward the shoulder, away from the Subaru Legacy in front of her. She steeled herself for the impact.

When Howe heard the sound on the highway, she knew immediately what it was. As a teenager in her native England, she had been in a bad car accident.

“Does anybody need help?” Howe yelled in a thick English accent. She didn’t expect to get an answer and figured she would keep walking and be at her desk in five minutes.

Then someone cried out, “Yes.” Howe, who is 5 feet 11 inches tall, scrambled up the muddy embankment, hopped a guardrail and landed on the pavement of the paralyzed interstate.

A Kia had rear-ended HouleCharbonneau’s BMW, then careened into a guardrail on one side of the southbound lanes. Houle-Charbonneau’s BMW, its rear crumpled, was against the guardrail on the opposite side.

Howe dashed over to the Kia. Its driver, Tammy Thompson of Fairfax, was pinned between her seat and the dashboard. Her head was bleeding, but she was conscious.

Beth Howe

“Oh, my God, my foot hurts,” Thompson moaned. Howe looked down. Thompson’s foot looked like it had become unhinged from her ankle: The tip of her white New Balance shoe was pointing toward her head.

Howe tried to calm Thompson. She glanced over at Alan Gott, whose Subaru had received a glancing blow from HouleCharbonneau’s BMW. Gott, a Georgia resident, stood by his car calling 911 on his cellphone. It seemed to him that Howe emerged from nowhere.

Howe ran 15 feet over to the BMW. Houle-Charbonneau was wedged between

her seat and the dash. She had a gash on her forehead, and blood flowed into her eyes and onto her face. Her steering wheel had come detached and was lying by the stick shift.

“What’s your name?” Howe asked.

“Danielle,” she mumbled.

Howe darted back to Thompson, who was squirming to get out of the car, despite her mangled foot.

“You really need to sit still, sweetheart. You need to be patient,” Howe told her. “Look out the window.” Then she dashed back to Houle-Charbonneau.

Her BMW was slowly filling with black smoke and the acrid smell of burning rubber and plastic. Houle-Charbonneau, stunned and disoriented, was determined to roll her window up. Howe told her it should stay down.

Houle-Charbonneau complained that she couldn’t see and kept gesturing as if to wipe hair from her eyes. But it wasn’t hair — it was blood and skin from her wound.

“Don’t do that, don’t do that,” Howe said quietly, brushing Houle-Charbonneau’s hand aside.

Five minutes after Howe ran onto the highway, help arrived.

State Police Sgt. Cory Lozier works out of the St. Albans barracks and usually doesn’t venture south of Georgia. But on this morning, he was on his way to a meeting in Williston. As he approached the traffic jam at Exit 16, he heard on his police radio the squawking of cops and first responders handling the earlier accident a mile south. Lozier figured that he was stuck in the backup from that incident when he saw smoke billowing from a car a few dozen yards ahead.

He turned on his blue lights, weaved through stopped traffic and hopped out near the smashed cars. He saw a tall woman with long brown hair dashing between them. He ran over to help.

Howe was standing near HouleCharbonneau’s door when she saw a small flame flicker in the back of the car. She puzzled for a moment over what could have caught fire in the trunk.

Then she realized it wasn’t the trunk. It was the gas tank.

“Oh, crap, this isn’t good,” Howe thought.

“We need to get her out of the car, now.”

Seeing the flame, Lozier sprinted over.

They both realized instantly what had to happen. Their reflexes took over.

Lozier and Howe each grabbed one of Houle-Charbonneau’s arms and pulled her out of the driver’s seat.

Together they hurriedly walked her over to a guardrail.

A few seconds later, flames engulfed the BMW. Howe stayed with Houle-Charbonneau on the guardrail, and Lozier returned to Thompson. He feared her neck or spine might be broken, so he was reluctant to move her.

But as the flames from HouleCharbonneau’s BMW intensified, the trooper worried that Thompson’s car would also catch fire. He grabbed a fire extinguisher from his cruiser and attacked the flames. It was like trying to douse a fire with a water gun.

Lawmakers Brace for Possible Veto of Energy Bill

The Vermont National Guard plans to spend more than $25 million to improve the taxiway that military jets use at Burlington International Airport.

The project also will replace the apron where Vermont Air National Guard planes park and refuel.

The work is expected to begin this fall and continue through 2017 at the guard base, which is on land leased from Vermont’s largest airport.

The City of Burlington owns the airport, located in South Air Force F-35 fighter Burlington.

The construction will not include the main runway, which military planes share with commercial carriers coming in and out of BTV, according to airport and guard officials.

The work is unrelated to the planned arrival of F-35 fighter jets in 2019, said Major Chris Gookin, public affairs officer. “This is based on the F-16 and the F-16’s current mission,” Gookin said. The work on the apron, for example, will repair normal wear and tear, Gookin said.

Gov. Peter Shumlin, in a prepared statement, said the taxiway project will create construction jobs and spur economic development in the region. “I am proud to be the governor of the state with the finest National Guard in the nation,” said Shumlin, who has supported the F-35s.

“This project shows our commitment to maintain and improve our infrastructure,” Major General Steven Cray, adjutant general of Vermont, said in a press release.

Lawmakers are bracing for the possibility that Gov. Peter Shumlin will veto an energy project siting bill that was a source of contention right up through the final hours of the legislative session May 6.

Shumlin wouldn’t say Monday whether he will veto S.230, a bill that is supposed to give local People seeking more energy communities more say in project siting regulations during the siting of wind and solar the legislative session energy projects. But he said his staff is poring over the legislation’s details.

“We’re still trying to figure out what it does,” Shumlin said Monday morning as he prepared to march in the Vergennes Memorial Day parade. “You know, I love the bill. I love the part that gives the public more say in decisions. I think we’re trying to figure out what was cobbled together in the halls actually does.”

The controversial legislation was hashed out after local leaders vented frustration over the state Public Service Board process for determining where wind and solar projects are built, saying communities have little to no input. A veto could bring election-year consequences if voters blame legislators for not responding to that outcry.

Shumlin wouldn’t detail his concerns with the bill, but Senate Natural Resources and Energy Committee chair Chris Bray (D-Addison) said the governor’s staff outlined several, including a lack of funding to train local municipal leaders on energy planning and the process of setting noise standards.

Rep. Chris Pearson

On May 24, a top aide to Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) informed Rep. Chris Pearson (P-Burlington) that the presidential candidate planned to endorse him in his campaign for the Vermont Senate. “I really had no idea what to expect,” Pearson said.

Within hours, Sanders had emailed his massive list of donors asking for contributions to Pearson’s campaign and those of seven other state legislative candidates — from South Carolina to South Dakota. That night, as Pearson was walking to dinner, he logged into his online fundraising platform and found that the appeal had already generated $30,000 in donations.

“I just about fell over,” he said. “I was totally stunned.”

By Friday afternoon, that number had doubled: According to Pearson, 12,185 Sanders supporters had donated $60,500 to his campaign. That’s far more than candidates typically spend to compete in the six-member Chittenden County Senate district — and more than the roughly $40,000 Pearson had hoped to raise.

“What it means for me is, now I don’t have to spend time asking a small number of donors for big checks. That’s not exactly comfortable for me,” he said, noting that he’s long fought for public election financing. “I feel pretty great to have Bernie financing. He has helped crowdsource my campaign and fund it, and that’s pretty amazing.”

Pearson says he’s encouraged not only that Sanders managed to bankroll his campaign but that he could do so for like-minded candidates around the country.

“What it says to me is, he really has woken up millions of Americans who are aching for Progressive change at all levels of government,” he said.

Kevin J. Kelley’s “Up Against the Mall” [May 25] provided an excellent history of Burlington’s downtown renewal forays in the context of Don Sinex’s 14-story megaproject. What’s missing in this piece and in the accommodating media coverage generally is the startling sweetheart deal erasing Burlington zoning laws to let Sinex write his own.

His project may in the end be a good one, but it should be built according to our laws, not his.

Our thoughtful and established zoning law allows downtown development up to 65 feet. Developers can earn up to 40 feet of additional height and other bonuses by providing the community with valuable things such as senior housing, parking, energy efficiency and art.

Even if the city had made the overly generous offer of four more stories — 105 feet — and kept in place the chance to earn 40 additional feet through bonuses, Sinex would have topped out at 145 feet.

Instead, the city rolled over twice and committed to giving Sinex the right to build up to 160 feet without any incentive to give back by earning height bonuses.

The elephant in the room is that, per the predevelopment agreement, building height limits downtown more than double from 65 to 160 feet, and the height bonuses to provide special values to the community are abandoned.

Our zoning laws are a promise to the community. When the city makes special deals with any developer for radical and wholesale changes to zoning law, that promise to the community is broken.

SEVENDAYSVT.COM

The historical account of development in Burlington should serve as a warning to unchecked development in a small city [“Up Against the Mall,” May 25]. The inability to practice foresight management and the failure to see the relationship between construction, development and urban planning can spell generations of awkward inner-city navigation, wasteful domino-like spending and inconvenience compounded with inherent missed opportunities for community-enriching growth.

People seem to be either completely for or against the mall project. I don’t see the proposed development as that black and white. With a developer eager to invest in the city — something that other cities and municipalities have to beg for — Burlington has an opportunity to set a standard for development in small cities across the country and maybe even the world. Imagine: a carbon-neutral or carbon-negative complex, built with sustainable construction management practices, powered by geothermal and solar energy, with a green roof and more. Also imagine telling Don Sinex and his architects to go back to the drawing board with sustainability as the main focus, not only for materials and building practices, but also conceptually for the basis of aesthetic design. The entire shape and vibe of the mall complex would change.

Now imagine the entire country watching: A community acts as a progressive lens for development and sets a new standard for sustainable construction.

As a culture, we need this.

Re [“Up Against the Mall,” May 25]: As an out-of-towner, I go to Burlington’s Church Street to walk about, eat dinner and then head down to the waterfront. I don’t go to shop, certainly not indoors.

When I need something, Burlington’s mall, whatever its state, is not where I’ll shop, unless it offered something truly different, funky and enticing. More commercial development, especially oversize high-rise buildings with the same old shops, is just more unsustainable development — not worth the cost and the potential damage to Burlington’s mellow, rightsize downtown. I predict that, if built, the new mall will be just as hollow and empty as the current mall is today.

director of College’s HOOD MUSEUM OF ART, pointed to a small brass plaque at the front of his desk. It had belonged to Harvey Hood, president of the Hood Dairy, he explained to Seven Days. Hood was the principal donor for the campus museum’s present structure, which opened in 1985.

“Other museum directors preside over institutions founded with money from robber barons,” Stomberg said with a smile. “Here, we’re built on the profits from ice cream!”

Stomberg spent the past four years as director of the Mount Holyoke College Art Museum and before that served stints at Williams College and Boston University. He’s new to the Hood, having taken the job in January. But the collection of art and anthropological objects he oversees got its start in 1772 — just three years after the college was founded.

Stomberg arrived just in time to shepherd another expansion in the museum’s long history: a massive renovation that will close the institution for a projected three years.

The initial repository for archives and artifacts was housed in various buildings; it moved in the 1950s to the Victorian-era Wilson Hall. By the mid-1970s, the collections had again outgrown their quarters.

The ensuing Hood-funded construction resulted in a 37,000-square-foot edifice designed by Charles Moore and Chad Floyd, Model of the Hood Museum, north façade which was somewhat awkwardly inserted between Wilson to the north and the Hopkins Center for the SD: How will the museum maintain Arts complex to the west. and diversify its offerings during Now, once again, the campus museum this long period of very demanding has been deemed too small to host its ex- distraction? panding uses for teaching and its grow- JS: There are four ways we’re thinking ing collections of historical and con- about this time.

We loaned them three paintings — a great Georgia O’Keeffe and two others — that represent distinct avenues to similar ends.

SD: You mentioned that the Hood is loaning key pieces to other institutions during the interim. How is this different from the loaning that museums do routinely?

JS: Some museums, when they close, take their greatest hits and travel it as a show from city to city. Instead, we initiated loans of paintings and sculptures to

And when the Hood Museum reopens, our goal is to have more evening hours, too. We’ll have the atrium open until two in the morning, so we’re going to be programming this area with digital art, performances, poetry slams, dances.

As we’re showing the plans to donors, they’re definitely thinking about the new space in those terms, as well. m

How would you describe the new facility?

JS: For the first time, there will be a front door [facing the college green]. We are always free and open to the public, and we print that on every invitation, but if your architecture doesn’t say that, it’s intimidating, unwelcoming.

Basically, the shape of the building stays the same, but [Williams and Tsien’s] new building swallows all of this space up, and what is now an exterior courtyard turns into an interior atrium. And Wilson Hall and the Hood building will no longer be attached.

In the new building, there will be four separate security envelopes. That sounds wonky, but it makes a difference.

The museum, classrooms, front lobby and our offices can be open or closed, and that gives us a lot of flexibility we don’t now have.

Beyond the Blockbuster: The Lake Placid Film Forum Turns 15 B Y LUK E B AY N ES

o the average American, Lake Placid, N.Y., is probably most recognizable as the location of the 1980 Winter Olympics and the famous “Miracle on Ice,” when a scrappy U.S. hockey team sent a heavily favored Soviet squad back to the USSR with their tails between their legs. But for film buffs, the vacation oasis on a lonely stretch of Route 86 has become a go-to destination for cinema.

On June 8, the 15th Lake Placid Film Forum kicks off with a 40th anniversary screening of Rocky. The five-day film fest concludes June 12 with By Sidney Lumet, a documentary about the prolific director whose caustic satire of the television industry, Network, lost the 1976 Oscar title to Sylvester Stallone’s titular pugilist.

LPFF cofounder and artistic director Kathleen Carroll, a Lake Placid native, has a personal connection to both of the festival’s bookends. In the mid-1970s, when Carroll was working double duty as a movie critic for the New York Daily News and as a film professor at St. John’s University, the then-unknown Stallone

asked if she would screen Rocky for her students. He wanted to gauge their reactions, sitting unobserved at the back of the theater. When the screening ended, Carroll remembers, Stallone walked to the front of the room and received a standing ovation.

Carroll was also present on the set of Network, where she was struck by Lumet’s deft touch as he guided eventual Oscar winners Faye Dunaway and

Peter Finch through screenwriter Paddy Chayefsky’s intricately layered dialogue.

“It was great to see Sidney with Faye Dunaway, who was clearly very skittish and nervous, and he was very sweet with her and gentle,” Carroll recalls. “It gave me a much better understanding of the pressure that you face in these situations, and how it’s something of a miracle when a film really works. There’s so much to deal with.”

Hooked on … Tarot? Handmade Rugs Reimagine Cartomancy B Y R A CHEL ELI ZA BET H JONES

arot cards and their iconography have been enjoying renewed popularity lately. One incarnation is the release of artist Ariel Hart’s free digital Lisa Frank Tarot Deck, which, as the Huffington Post puts it, turned “the Internet into one giant, amorphous, screaming tween girl.”

The centuries-old images, though, don’t appear to be in danger of being subsumed by digital media or by a stationery empire beloved of millennial women. “Exploring the Tarot” at the T.W. WOOD GALLERY in Montpelier presents the tarot’s 22 major arcana, from the Fool to the World. In this case they are rendered in the loops-on-loops of hooked rugs, handmade by multiple generations of female artists — and one male.

Thanks to a series of overlapping networks in the niche world of rug hooking, Vermonters can now enjoy this ingenious merging of contemporary craft and cartomancy. Quick primer: Rug hooking is the process of using a hook to loop wool fabric through a base material, such as linen, to form a premeditated design. It is slow, methodical work.

STEPHANIE ALLEN-KRAUSS of Montpelier business GREEN MOUNTAIN HOOKED RUGS first

The Adirondack Film Society has had a lot to deal with in recent years.

The nonprofit parent organization was forced to cancel the Lake Placid Film Forum in 2014 owing to a drying up of corporate funding. The Film Forum resumed the next year following the establishment in 2014 of the Adirondack Film Society Screening Series, a monthly program that runs from roughly September to April at the Lake Placid Center for the Arts.

Fred Balzac, operations manager of the film society, admits that the organization is “somewhat in rebuilding mode” but says he’s “particularly excited about the range of films we have this year.”

The program for the 2016 Film Forum contains a mix of classics like The Third Man and Charlie Chaplin’s The Kid and recent releases, such as the Oscar-nominated Carol and the biopic Born to Be Blue, starring Ethan Hawke as ill-fated jazz trumpeter Chet Baker.

There’s also a strong documentary focus, from Don’t Blink — Robert Frank — a profile of the innovative documentary photographer — to Lo and Behold, Reveries of the Connected World, a meditation on the digital age from 73-year-old New German Cinema patriarch Werner Herzog.

In keeping with the event’s tradition as a forum — not a festival — there’s no shortage of guest

the early 2000s and later as a teacher.

Scena has also attended the school as a student.

Allen-Krauss’ mother, Anne Ashworth, who lived in East Randolph, established the rug school in 1982. Allen-Krauss opened Green Mountain Hooked Rugs in 1999 and took over running the school in 2000. In 2014, the school’s management was passed to Allen-Krauss’ daughter LINDSAY KRAUSS, who relocated the school from Vermont Technical College in Randolph Center to Montpelier’s Capitol Plaza Hotel & Conference Center.

Lindsay Krauss’ sisters, CECELY CONRAD and MARIAH KRAUSS, also rug hookers, currently sit on the business’ board of directors.

Micarelli and Scena envisioned a group exhibition in which each artist would design and create one card of the tarot’s 22 major arcana. They reached

speakers. Accompanying the screening of Robert Klein Still Can’t Stop His Leg will be director Marshall Fine and his influential standup comic subject. The Lumet documentary will feature a discussion by its director, Nancy Buirski, and actor James Tolkan, the Lake Placid resident who appeared in Lumet’s Serpico and Prince of the City.

“We wanted to distinguish it a bit, and also really make it more of a comfortable environment KAT HLEEN where you could come and really talk seriously about film,” Carroll says of the origin of the forum format. “You get so much more out of the experience if you understand a little bit about the creativity and what went on behind the scenes.”

The thematic spotlight this year is Canadian cinema, including Winnipeg native Guy Maddin’s experimental The Forbidden Room and Andrew Cividino’s Sleeping Giant, which won Best Canadian First Feature Film at the 2015 Toronto International Film Festival.

The Canadian theme also brings things full circle for the Lake Placid Film Forum, which was established at the turn of the new millennium following

a sold-out screening of The Sweet Hereafter, the 1997 movie adaptation of LPFF cofounder Russell Banks’ novel. The film version was adapted

by Canadian writerdirector Atom Egoyan, whose latest movie, the Nazi war-crime revenge drama Remember, will be screened on June 9.

Despite the madcap push to finalize a film schedule just weeks before opening night, Balzac calls his position as AFS operations CARROLL manager “the best nonprofit job in the North Country.” He says that moviegoers of all stripes should find something of cinematic value to enjoy at the Forum even as they weather Hollywood’s summer superhero onslaught.

“It’s something for everybody,” Balzac says. “It’s for filmgoers looking for something beyond the latest blockbuster.” m

WE’VE HAD PEOPLE FROM ALL OVER COME TO SEE THIS EXHIBITION ALREADY.

In John Logan’s play Red, a biodrama about the abstract painter Mark Rothko (1903-70), the very first line is, “What do you see?” The artist, staring at his painting, is speaking to his assistant, the only other character in this Tony Awardwinning work. The Broadway version six years ago starred Alfred Molina and Eddie Redmayne, respectively.

This week in Montpelier, LOST NATION THEATER launches its own production, with LNT cofounding artistic director KIM ALLEN BENT as the intense and uncompromising Rothko and LEVI PENLEY as his assistant, Ken. That first line is apt for a play that the New York Times called a “visceral exercise in art appreciation” in a 2010 review. Accordingly, Lost Nation — in collaboration with Stowe’s HELEN DAY ART CENTER and curator RACHEL MOORE — is giving theatergoers more to see. In the lobby, seven paintings by Middlesex artist GALEN CHENEY will set the tone for the show’s theme.

“We have had a gallery in the lobby for the past several years,” notes KATHLEEN KEENAN, LNT’s cofounder and producing artistic director. “It started as a showcase for the work of our designers — some have a double life as visual artists.” From there, she continues, the gallery presented other artists in the community. But this is the first time LNT has worked with an outside gallery.

THE STRAIGHT DOPE BY CECIL ADAMS

Dear Cecil,

In news footage of President Obama in Havana, you could see him holding his own umbrella while walking in the rain. I remember reading somewhere that world leaders never hold their own umbrella for fear of identification with Neville Chamberlain, the umbrella-carrying British prime minister who opted for appeasement in dealing with Hitler, with spectacularly unsuccessful results. Was there ever such an unwritten rule? Did Obama not get the memo?

Or is he a secret Chamberlain fan?

re you kidding? Of course he’s a secret Chamberlain fan.

You’re talking about the guy who (to hear some leading political thinkers tell it) embarked on an international “apology tour” in his first term, who “led from behind” in Libya, who introduced a policy of “appeasement” — that’s the term Jeb Bush used — with respect to Iran and who practically gave away the store to Raúl Castro.

“The Neville Chamberlain of our time,” said Bush’s co-failed presidential candidate Lindsey Graham. Why, it’s almost as if, thanks to his rolling over for foreign foes, it’s Obama (and not, say, the GOP itself ) who’s laid the groundwork for the rise to power of a nativist, protofascist demagogue who— Sorry, just got caught up in the heat of the campaign for a moment. Histrionics notwithstanding, you are indeed

Citizens expressed admiration that a world leader, unlike the local apparatchiks, would so humbly carry his own umbrella. They’re not unschooled on the political symbolism of the umbrella, either, which harks back to — you called it — Chamberlain. It seems that for Sir Neville, the umbrella was a bit of an affectation. He carried it everywhere, including when he disembarked the plane in London after his infamous 1938 meeting with Hitler: peace agreement in one hand, brolly in the other, his hapless fate sealed. Hereafter the British opposition party, whenever Chamberlain traveled, made a display of umbrellas, to symbolize the PM’s appeasement. Even Hitler mocked Chamberlain’s accessory, according to an MI5 report; one British diplomat quoted the Führer saying: “If ever that silly old man comes interfering again with his

INFO

Another umbrella man, a guy named Louie Witt, appears, prominently raising his piece, in the Zapruder film of Kennedy’s assassination. Is he sending a signal? Is he an Oswald associate? As with every other element of the assassination, this one’s been debated to death, but Witt’s own explanation before a congressional hearing remains as good as any: He was just a “conservative-type fellow” who was still upset about Chamberlain’s capitulation in Munich. He wasn’t even protesting JFK; he was protesting JFK’s dad, Joseph P. Kennedy, who back in ’38 had been ambassador to Britain.

In the modern era, umbrellas have acquired a new symbolic role in Hong Kong, representing resistance not against appeasement, but against the Chinese government. What started out as protesters shielding themselves from police tear gas has morphed, according to a 2014 NPR dispatch, into the emblem for a movement — it’s known as the “Umbrella Revolution.” In U.S. politics, any political symbolism associated with umbrellas has been all but forgotten — such that the current president’s carrying one is the rare gesture that doesn’t draw cries of Chamberlainism.

One suspects that if Obama’s critics were slightly more historically literate, they would’ve been all over it.

correct, George, that Obama was spotted holding his own umbrella during his recent visit to Cuba. Stateside, this counted as the second most significant umbrella-related event of Barry’s administration, the first being the time in 2013 when he caught guff on conservative websites for asking two marines to hold umbrellas over the Turkish prime minister during a rainy visit. (Subsequent perusal of regulations revealed that while Corps members must assist the president as requested, umbrella-holding included, uniformed marines may not shelter themselves with umbrellas — if they’re male; female marines, though, are allowed to exercise common sense in the rain.)

By contrast, the Cuban Umbrella Incident didn’t raise many eyebrows — besides yours, I mean — at home. In China, though, it was sort of a big deal:

umbrella, I’ll kick him downstairs and jump on his stomach in front of the photographers.”

Thus did the umbrella grow geopolitical legs. By the 1950s, American right-wingers had adopted it as a symbol of American appeasement of foreign powers, such that Richard Nixon, as Eisenhower’s vice president, forbade his aides from carrying any. (This backfired when Ike himself got caught in the rain while giving a speech because nobody had anything on hand to shelter him with.) Historian Edward R. Miller has compiled some midcentury umbrellarelated highlights: Campaigning against Adlai Stevenson, Eisenhower’s opponent in 1952 and 1956, Nixon declared, “If the umbrella is the symbol of appeasement, then Adlai Stevenson must go down in history as the Umbrella Man of all time.” When the Berlin Wall was constructed in 1961 and President Kennedy did not send American troops to tear it down, German students, as well as many Americans, sent him umbrellas. Upon returning home after having established new cultural and commercial ties with China in the 1970s, President Richard Nixon was met with umbrella-wielding students, who shared William F. Buckley’s assertion that Nixon had “sold out” by meeting with the leaders of the Communist dictatorship.

Oral History “My goodness, I do. That was the late ’70s, right? When Vietnamese people — I guess mostly folks who worked for the old South Vietnamese government or military — fled the country in the aftermath of the U.S. withdrawal. I remember this was all over the news for a few years.

I’d be interested in hearing your family’s story, I mean, if that’s something you’re comfortable sharing.”

“I’m surprised you know about this piece of history.”

“Well, I am an old guy,” I explained, “and, unlike many of my fellow Americans, I actually pay attention to history.”

was horrific. A few of the young women on board were raped, though, luckily, my sisters were spared. And they stole everyone’s money. But my mother, who was a seamstress, had taken the precaution of sewing the family jewels into the clothes we were wearing, so we had a little to start over with when we reached the Australian refugee camp.”

“How did you make it to the USA?” I asked. Linh’s story was captivating; I reminded myself to maintain good road focus as I took it in. Safety first, conversation second.

“Be patient, we’re getting there,” she said, her voice rising in mock annoyance.

LINH’S STORY WAS CAPTIVATING; I REMINDED MYSELF TO MAINTAIN GOOD ROAD FOCUS AS I TOOK IT IN. “OK, then here’s a piece of oral history for you. My father had worked for the South Vietnamese military as a driver and a cook. So, after the American defeat and reunification, he knew we were in danger. But getting out wasn’t easy without money and connections. Luckily, my grandfather was paid to have a huge boat built in his backyard on the Mekong River, and my father — who was a very social, affable guy with a big personality — cooked meals for the boat builders.

And in that way, he secured a spot on the boat for the whole family — my parents and my four older sisters. I was just a baby when this was happening.

“So, after a few days at sea, the boat was intercepted by Indonesian pirates. It

“At the camp, my father immediately opened a makeshift coffee shop, because, as I said, this was the kind of guy he was.

After about a year, with the help of some religious organization, we were able to get papers to migrate to Philadelphia, and we settled into the thriving Vietnamese community in that city. And that’s where I grew up.”

“Did your pops develop some kind of business in Philly?”

“Not so much. He was fixing houses — anything, really.”

Linh, who had been breezing along in the narrative, suddenly grew quiet.

I glanced over to observe her closing her eyes for a moment, as if to collect herself.

“He died when I was 5,” she said, rallying, “and then it was my mother supporting all of us — her now six daughters — on her home seamstress business. I remember throughout my childhood, she was constantly at her machine, sewing away.”

“What an amazing woman,” I marveled. “Did she push you girls real hard?”

“No, funnily, she didn’t. She was never what they now would call a ‘tiger mom.’ I think we all just learned by her example. All of us went into professional careers, an outcome that pleases her to no end.”

To avoid the Shelburne Road traffic flow, I turned east in Shelburne Village.

This strategy may not actually be a time saver, but it sure makes for a prettier and less nerve-jangling ride.

“So, this story of your family’s escape to America, were those your actual memories of the events?”

“No, not hardly. I was just a toddler.

But I’ve heard the story my whole life.

Some immigrants bury their history, not wanting to look back, particularly when the passage contains traumatic elements.

But, oh no, not the Dinhs.”

Linh laughed out loud. “No, our family tells the story over and over. My nieces and nephews can attest to that.

And when I have children, I’ll make sure they know it, too.” m All these stories are true, though names and locations may be altered to protect privacy.

Sitting next to me, my customer, Linh Dinh, chuckled at her own words. She was a pretty, diminutive woman in her thirties, with a plucky, forthright way about her.

The afternoon sky was clear and sunny as we motored north on Route 7 en route to the airport. Fresh air streamed in through our cracked windows, filling the cab with a woods-and-field bouquet.

Springtime in Vermont — my 36th, if my math is right — still hits me as a revelation.

“So, that must be hard to negotiate,” I said, putting myself in my customer’s shoes.

“It was harder when I was newly married, but, with some give on both of our parts, we’ve worked things out.

Things are a lot better, anyway.”

“Well, that’s good, because when you get married, you marry the whole family.

But I guess you figured that out. Is your husband also Vietnamese?”

“No, he’s a regular white boy,” Linh replied, grinning at her cheeky turn of phrase.

I noticed that she didn’t have any accent to speak of. “So, are you second generation? Gosh, I always forget what the phrases ‘first’ and ‘second generation’ refer to.”

Linh replied, “No, it can be ambiguous. In sociology, I’m what we call ‘1.5 generation.’ That denotes folks who migrated here before the age of 10.”

“Is that your field — sociology?”

“Uh-huh. I’m up here teaching on a fellowship. My family were Vietnamese boat people, if you recall that era.”

Over and Out

his week, after 11 years, Poli Psy says farewell and wanders off to join hot type, daily newspapers, living wages, correct grammar and other geezers of journalism past. So, herewith, a few valedictory insights from the archives.

For those who never got the column’s name, Poli Psy — sounds like “poli sci” — is shorthand for political psychology.

The column features the tagline: “On the public uses and abuses of emotion.”

What I have often focused on, though — because I’m cranky — are the abuses.

There was the abuse of racist fear to exonerate police brutality. Of antiSemitism (Jim Douglas versus Peter Shumlin) and misogyny (everybody versus Hillary Clinton) to discredit political opponents. Terror of the mentally ill to block community care. Disgust for the poor to criminalize severe family dysfunction.

I watched positive emotions deployed to nefarious political ends, too. Gov. Shumlin, for one, is a wizard at the alchemical art of turning pride in Vermont’s storied generosity, compassion and common sense into justification for cuts to Medicaid and the Earned Income Tax Credit, nickel-and-diming the disabled and otherwise discomfiting the poor while cosseting the rich.

But few emotions, or combinations of emotions, are more packed with political potency than sexual hysteria. “Whatever hysteria exists is inflamed by mystery, suspicion and secrecy. Hard and exact facts will cool it,” I quoted Hollywood producer-director Elia Kazan in one column.

He was wrong. Facts will do nothing of the sort. I’d reached that conclusion painfully, I said, “having spent almost three decades carrying buckets of facts to try to quell America’s blazing sex panic.”

That was written in August 2008.

Twelve-year-old Brooke Bennett had been kidnapped and murdered (allegedly, at the time) by her uncle, the repeat sex offender Michael Jacques. This rare and sensational Vermont crime had drawn out every terror-stoked, politically opportunistic, misguided law-and-order idea ever conceived.

On the campaign trail, Douglas extolled Jessica’s Law, an omnibus federal sex-crimes law that included an expanded sex offender registry, chemical castration, civil commitment — the indefinite lockup of sex offenders after they’ve finished

WCAX-TV called “a notorious child predator,” got out of jail and moved to Bristol.

The neighbors hadn’t been notified and rose up in alarm. Television newscasters fanned the flames. The legislature protected those neighbors by reducing the time a released sex offender has to register with the police — from three days to 24 hours.

There is no evidence that anything about the sex offender registry protects anybody from crime. This is one of those hysteria-cooling facts I keep schlepping to the flames, to no avail.

By the way, this year the legislature gave the police a modified version of that DNA data bank.

One reason panic works so well is that it’s hard to pin down; it’s a mess of contradictory feelings. So, at the same time they’re stoking panic, the media, lawmakers, prosecutors and freelance moralists try to draw distinct lines between the sexually guilty and the sexually innocent, the perpetrator and the victim.

From 2015, “Revenge Porn: It’s been a wonderfully ludicrous Is Shaming Criminal?” exercise to observe, as during the mortifications of Florida Republican Rep.

She got four years, suspended, on a possible 20-year prison sentence, plus 10 years on the sex offender registry. Yaranga probably should have been fired. But is 10 years of banishment a proportionate sentence? Was she a perpetrator and the kid a victim?

Over the decade, I’ve watched Vermont lawmakers and police scour the landscape for sexual victims. A proposed bill would have awarded automatic child custody to women who charged their husband or partners with marital rape.

Does victimization make a woman a good mother?

A few years ago, Burlington cops “rescued” — that is, put out of work — some female Asian spa employees who were offering hand jobs to the customers. The police alleged that the women were “trafficked” as sex slaves, although there was little evidence that anything was going on beyond undocumented immigrants choosing a better-paid form of exploitation over a lesser-paid one.

More recently, the police — this time with the Department of Homeland Security

— again investigated a spa for “possible illegal activity.”

When teen sexting started making news, the Vermont legislature had to scramble to write language to prevent prosecutions of kids for sending sexy pictures of themselves to friends or lovers. It would have been the only crime, as far as I know, in which one person could be both perpetrator and victim.

Once in a while, unconventional sex happened and no victim could be found.

The same week that Idaho Sen. Larry Craig, a prominent supporter of the Defense of Marriage Act, was nabbed playing footsie with an undercover cop in an airport men’s room, a Moretown farmworker was arrested for shtupping his boss’ cows. According to a local vet, “no harm came to the cows.”

In at least one other way, Vermont policy makers have not bought the victim discourse. They have steadfastly defended women’s right to abortion and never, ever advanced the canard that women — or fetuses — are “victimized” by women’s freedom to decide what to do with their bodies. I’m profoundly grateful for this, and probably for a few other things I don’t have the space to laud. Anyway, I don’t want to spoil my reputation for crankiness in the penultimate paragraph of Poli Psy. But I’m not finished being grateful.

Jazz festival headliner Randy Newman talks songwriting, film work and Vladimir Putin

I

n the intro to a February 2016 profile of Randy Newman for Vanity Fair, writer David Kamp poses a fascinating question: What if rock music hadn’t won? That is, what if the orchestrated stylings of Cole Porter, George and Ira Gershwin, George M. Cohan, et al., had thrived and evolved over time, instead of being surpassed in popularity by three-chord, blues-based progressions? Kamp imagines this occurring “not in opposition to rock, but alongside it.”

The results might have sounded quite a bit like Newman’s eponymous 1968 debut. That album combines singer-songwriter heart with dramatic sensibilities more closely aligned to the early masters of popular American song. Or, as Kamp writes, Randy Newman is “heavy on strings and light on drums,” in stark contrast to the iconic guitar and backbeat-heavy pop records of the era by the likes of Bob Dylan, the Beatles, the Who and the Doors.

The enigmatic songwriter has always done things a little differently from everyone else.

Burlington fans will be reminded of that distinction when Newman headlines the 2016 Burlington Discover Jazz Festival this Friday, June 3, at the Flynn MainStage, performing a range of career highlights.

Now 72, Newman stands on his own singular corner of pop music. We presume it’s somewhere in his native Los Angeles, where the hardscrabble avenues of folk and rock intersect with the grand boulevard of the Great American Songbook. And, as American icons go, he’s sure had an odd career.

While Newman is a critical darling, widely viewed as one of pop’s great songwriters, he’s achieved only modest commercial success. Even that has often come in dubious ways. His biggest single is the unlikely 1977 hit “Short People,” a mildly controversial tune about a

disturbed man with a severe distaste for the vertically challenged. Newman’s first single to crack the Billboard 200, it was treated more as a novelty than a work of high pop art.

Another of Newman’s best-known tunes, the singsongy “I Love LA,” has been adopted as a sort of civic-pride anthem by Los Angeles — it’s even played at Dodgers home games. Never mind that it’s a cynical, pointed critique of duality in the City of Angels. (“Look at that bum over there, man / He’s down on his knees.”) Go, Dodgers?

SD: Well, here we are still talking about it however many decades later. So it made an impact.

RN: Yeah, that’s very true. I’d rather have made just nice, quiet money. If I’d had a hit, I’d rather it had been “I Love You Just the Way You Are” or something. But that’s all right.

harmony went out the window. It was just down to six chords. That’s amazing to me.

SD: You never really had breakout stardom. If you had come along 20 years earlier, or maybe 20 years later, do you think the arc of your career might have been different?

RN: Oh, yeah. I would never have been an artist in the ’40s. I might have been a songwriter, maybe. But maybe just a movie guy. But it would have been radically different. I was very fortunate that that happened. Singer-songwriter just wasn’t a thing before the ’60s.

SD: Some artists now are making similar music to what you and guys like Harry Nilsson were doing in the ’60s, melding the singer-songwriter with the aesthetics of more orchestrated popular song. For example, I can’t listen to Father John Misty and not think of your music.

RN: Thank you. He’s very good.

SD: You arrived at a transitional period for popular American music, when tastes were moving away from the classic American Songbook and toward rock and roll.

In some ways, that was a rejection of the music you grew up on and that your family was partly responsible for. And yet you’ve managed to exist almost in between those styles, making music that moves singer-songwriter stuff toward more orchestrated music. How have you been able to strike that balance?

RN: It’s partly because that’s the family business, in a way. Three of my uncles and three of my cousins were film composers. So it was something that I saw. And if someone were to ask me when I was a kid what I wanted to do, eventually I would have said that, if I said anything at all.

They had high standards, you know.

Uncle Al was head of music at 20th Century Fox, and the best guys were around at the time: Johnny Williams, Jerry Goldsmith, Alex North. And I saw all that. So I studied music — not hard enough, but I can write for orchestra.

And I take the movie work just as seriously, even though what I’m known for, and what I will be known for, will be the songs, probably. But the movies are just as important to me.

And I know the repertory, the pre1954 songs, just as Carole King knows it and [Paul] McCartney knows it. A number of people do know it, and that’s of great value. It’s funny how, in 1954 — you can almost date it — all the stuff arrangers and writers knew about

SD: I think the problem for me was more just being short.

RN: Yeah. You know, the controversy

wasn’t that big a deal. Or maybe it was, actually. A number of people made a lot of noise.

SD: I was being a little bit facetious.

But, as a short person myself, it’s been kind of an anthem.

RN: Well, I’m sorry if it did cause some people trouble. At the time, I thought, A kid in junior high, people are always noticing them. But it seemed it wouldn’t be a problem, because people would know that it was meant as a joke.

Still, Newman has inspired generations of folk and rock greats, who admire him precisely for the sardonic wit and mischievous style that confuse wider audiences. Elvis Costello, for one, often cites him as an influence. Countless pop artists have covered him, from Harry Nilsson to Nina Simone to Newman’s idol, Ray Charles, to Pat Boone, Bette Midler and Peggy Lee. Some have scored major hits with Newman’s songs.

Three Dog Night’s Billboard-topping version of “Mama Told Me (Not to Come)” went gold in 1970. That band had another hit with Newman’s “You Can Leave Your Hat On,” which has been covered by everyone from Etta James to Tom Jones over the years.

SEVEN DAYS: So, this is a question I’ve wanted to ask you for, like, 20 years: What is your beef with short people, Randy?

RANDY NEWMAN: [Laughs] I don’t have any beef with short people. I needed another up song for the album, and that one suggested itself. It’s clear, and it was always clear to me, that the guy in the song is nuts. There’s nobody who has that kind of mania, that anti-short-person mania. It never occurred to me that people would take it seriously. It was nothing but a joke.

RA ND Y NE W M AN

While Newman couldn’t quite pull off a mainstream merger of rock and the Songbook on his own, he has managed, more subtly, to do exactly that through others. “Mama Told Me” may be funky, but the melody harks back to the days of show tunes such as “It Ain’t Necessarily So” and “Let’s Call the Whole Thing Off.” After all, as Mitchell Froom, who produced both volumes of the career retrospective The Randy Newman Songbook, once told journalist Michael Hill, “Randy comes from a lineage of Gershwin, not Woody Guthrie.”

Newman is the nephew of Alfred Newman, the musical director of 20th Century Fox from 1940 to 1960.

“Uncle Al” composed the fanfare that has opened each of the film giant’s flicks since 1933. Newman’s uncles Emil and Lionel were also well-regarded composers and conductors, as are three of his cousins.

Much of Newman’s childhood, then, was spent with a front-row seat to old Hollywood, in studios watching his uncles conduct some of the finest film orchestras in the world. It’s little wonder that the music stuck with him, or that he’s won two Academy Awards for film composition himself.

Newman has become the go-to songwriter for Pixar Animation Studios, composing and writing for wildly successful family franchises such as Toy Story and Cars. That work has given his career yet another strange twist. A generation of listeners now knows Newman not as the six-time Grammy-winning Rock and Roll Hall of Famer who wrote “Louisiana 1927,” “Sail Away” and “I Think It’s Going to Rain Today,” but from an animated toy cowboy singing “You’ve Got a Friend in Me.” And, if you asked Newman, he’d probably tell you that suits him just fine.

In advance of his Burlington show, Seven Days spoke with Newman by phone about songwriting, his film work, his unusual career arc and why he never listens to his own records.

SD: You rarely write autobiographically or confessionally. You’re almost always a step or two removed from the characters in your songs. I wonder if that has led to some of the misunderstanding or misinterpretation of your music?

RN: Absolutely, because it’s an unusual use of the form. People don’t do it. I’ve said a number of times that songwriters ought to have the same latitude as short-story writers, where it doesn’t have to be some kind of personal or confessional thing. I was always more interested in the lessthan-heroic mode. In so many songs, in one way or another, the singer is the hero of the piece … [For instance,] his heart is broken all over the place, and it’s noisy. No matter what it is, it interests me less than writing about people who are a little off in some way.

RN: Yeah. “When he takes his shirt off, he drives the ladies crazy / When he takes his shirt off, he makes me wanna be a lady.”

SD: [Laughs] Nicely done.

RN: “Crazy” and “lady.” Now that’s something they wouldn’t do before 1954. And they’re probably right.

SD: It’s not a natural rhyme.

RN: It’s a natural rhyme, but not a good one.

SD: Fair distinction. You also wrote about the conflict between science and religious fundamentalism. What can you tell me about that song?

RN: Well, it’s about eight minutes long. And it’s about a guy who is in an arena, and he says, “We’re gonna decide here, tonight, about important matters, like dark matter and global warming.” And on the one side he’s got the true believers, the Presbyterians, Episcopalians, the Quakers, Shakers, bakers, you know? And on the other side are the scientists. So, he has a debate, sort of, that goes on.

It’s good. It’s funny. And it’s long, but it doesn’t seem to me like it’s too long.

And I’m not my biggest fan.

SD: Are you critical of your own work?

RN: Yeah, very. I never used to listen to it once I did it. But now it’s so easy. You dial up Spotify, and there it is. So I find that I’m listening to myself more than I ever did in my life. Which is still not a lot. When I made a record, I would never listen to it again.

SD: Now that you are listening to some of them again, what do you think?

RN: What I think mostly is that I’ve been the same. I’ve been consistent. My last two albums, if they’re not the best, they’re very close to it. I don’t think I’ve slipped, particularly. Though that’s hard to say. And I’m proud of that, because it’s not always the case in pop music.

People give their best work before they’re 30. But I don’t think I have.

SD: Do you think that’s because you’ve had so many other projects besides just your own music? Maybe that keeps you fresh in your own writing?

RN: I think so. I think you’re right.

Doing pictures, you have to push yourself to use more than five chords.

I recorded with Barbra Streisand in the early ’70s. I played piano, and she did a couple of my songs. And I didn’t think it was any good. I didn’t think she had any feel for rock and roll. Singing with a backbeat is something some people can do and some people can’t. But recently she put it out [Release Me, 2012]. And it’s good!

Local tennis legend Jake Agna takes Kids on the Ball to Cuba B Y SA RAH T UFF D UNN FILE PHOTOS: MATTHEW THORSEN

F

ew sounds say “summer” more than the thwack! of a tennis ball and the shuffle of sneaker-clad feet on a clay court. Unless you count a seagull’s cry overhead — which was the soundtrack for a recent interview with Jake Agna at the Edge Sports & Fitness in South Burlington.

If you don’t know Agna, you probably don’t know jack about how tennis has taken over the Queen City — and now, Cuba — thanks to the man’s singleminded determination to bring the game to new demographics.

Agna has been teaching tennis for 43 years. He founded the Kids on the Ball program, which brings tennis to Burlington youth through the King Street Center, 16 years ago. Now he’s making history by rebuilding the National Tennis Center in Havana through Kids on the Ball Cuba. Agna has earned the very first bricks-and-mortar approval for Cuba from the U.S. Department of Commerce since the Eisenhower administration, and he’s rallying Vermonters to join him on his trips south.

The net result is a new spin on the sport that was once reserved for a more elite set. “I believe in good living,” said Agna, 62. “Good living is about simplifying your life. Tennis is a simple game, and so is learning it. Try to play the next ball,” he continued. “If you mess up, get back in line. Breathe. Do the things that make you feel human.”

Agna believes that the tennis court also models guidelines for good behavior. “It’s the best place to learn about yourself and about others,” he asserted.

The best place to learn about Agna himself might be the sidelines of this tennis court. Here he juggles myriad balls: coaching the South Burlington High School girls’ team, working with Kids on the Ball and maintaining a nearly round-the-clock commitment to community players. That left Agna just 45 minutes to lob answers to this reporter’s questions about his life story. Still, he answered them with the effortless grace of Roger Federer and the charisma of Andre Agassi.

STOWE’S GRAND SLAM RAISES A RACKET Queen Elizabeth. Manicured grass courts. Strawberries and cream. There’s nothing like Centre Court at Wimbledon. And there’s nothing like the price tag — some $10,000 for a ticket to the men’s finals at the fabled tennis tournament.

Now Stowe-based Grand Slam Tennis Tours is offering fans a chance to win two tickets for the 2017 event — along with a six-night stay at a boutique hotel. “Wimbledon is a special, sacred place for tennis,” says Andrew Chmura, the president of Grand Slam, which has packaged tours to the Australian, French and U.S. opens and other major tennis events.

The company’s #WINbledom contest comes on the heels of a new partnership with boutique player agency Topnotch Management, which represents elite players such as American John Isner and Caroline Garcia of France.

For Vermonters hoping to hop the pond to hob-nob with the white-clad highfalutin set next summer, the contest is the big news. “If you’re a professional player, it’s where you want to be,” says Chmura of the timeless allure of Wimbledom. “And if you’re a fan, well, it’s also where you want to be. And it’s only slightly less complicated to get there if you’re a fan.”

The contest runs from June 1 to the drawing at the U.S. Open in late August. All you need to do is enter your name at grandslamtennistours.com/win-wimbledon.

The son of two doctors, Agna was raised in Yellow Springs, Ohio, a town that mixed the forward-thinking culture of Antioch College with the forecourt culture of tennis. Everybody played the sport, said Agna. He grew up in a 28room house that had once belonged to a senator and had a housekeeper overseeing him and his four brothers and sisters.

But he hit balls with kids from every socioeconomic background.

“Tennis was like the religion in town,” Agna said. “It was a hip community where you felt like you could learn all the things you needed to learn on a tennis court — about fairness, about hanging in there when things don’t go your way. I had every opportunity, but

always felt that I was the same as everyone else. It was a great way to grow up.”

Agna began teaching tennis at age 19, studied psychology at Eckerd College in Florida, and moved to Vermont in 1983 to become the tennis pro at the Quarry Hill Club. The longest-standing employee at the Edge (formerly Lakeside and Twin Oaks), he taught gym-goers and juniors — along with his own kids, now 32 and 28. But he missed the melting pot of the Yellow Springs courts.

“I was thinking, How can I socially engineer a program so that all kids have a little different look outside their bubble?” he recalled. That question inspired the 2000 creation of Kids on the Ball, which brings hundreds of children from the King Street Center to Agna’s clinics each year. Agna said he’s seen tennis lend calm and a sense of order to everyone from refugees to individuals suffering from anxiety.

Watching television one Sunday morning last winter, Agna saw Wynton Marsalis playing music in Havana. An idea hit him, he recalled: Why not check

With those sentiments in mind, Agna founded the cross-cultural youth tennis exchange program Kids on the Ball Cuba shortly after his first Cuban experience. It has since brought nearly 80 Vermonters to work alongside Agna.

Tennis isn’t as big as it used to be in the Green Mountain State — its boom happened in the ’70s. But Agna said he’s been profoundly impressed as he’s watched adult players interacting with Cuban kids and Vermont companies stepping up to the court. “This happens in Burlington because people want to do the right thing,” he said. “They want opportunities for people. They want fairness. They want all the things I try to help these kids with.”

Agna has raised some $700,000 to resurface the existing courts and tennis grounds at the National Tennis Center over the past six months; he’s now fundraising for equipment. And he aims to work with large American companies to support his vision.

Agna cited his marriage, his love of reading and music, and his dedication to the “simple sport” as factors that give his life balance. And even after two hip replacements, in 2002 and 2005, he still plays daily at 7 a.m. before his coaching day begins.

“Tennis gives me a sense of control, but also a sense of peace,” said Agna. “It helps me see rhyme and reason in a world where, sometimes, things are crazy.” m

out the tennis scene in Cuba? So Agna hooked up with Burlington’s Cuban American Friendship Society and traveled to that country’s National Tennis Center.

“It was the most beat-up place I’d ever seen; the cores coming out of the ball, the nets all jerry-rigged on chairs,” remembered Agna. “But the play was tremendous. I’d never seen anything like that.”

He began to play with the kids, sweating so badly that his ears were dripping. Still, he was grinning from ear to ear, Agna said. “Everyone was so enthusiastic!”

The experience showed Agna that “Cubans love sports and really value what sports do for a person,” he said.

One of the country’s greatest living athletes reinforced that lesson: “Alberto Juantorena, who won double gold [in JA K E A G NA track] at the 1976 Olympics, says that we are going to make tennis work for Cuba,” Agna said. “He says things like, ‘Out of 100 kids, one will become a champion; the rest will become better citizens.’ We have to buy into this, because the kids lack a safety net — but they do have a good attitude.”

Book review: Aliceheimer’s: Alzheimer’s Through the Looking Glass, Dana Walrath B Y NANCY ST EAR NS B E RCAW

Vermont College of Fine Arts. At UVM, she taught medical students to bear witness to patients’ stories. As a writing student, she learned to tell her own.

Worlds collided when Alice’s dementia appeared. Walrath moved her mother from Manhattan to her Green Mountain farmhouse, despite past tension in their relationship. Walrath was the daughter (of two) who got on her mother’s nerves, she writes, and the feeling was mutual.

Yet, over two years, mother and daughter bonded through Alice’s ailment. In Lewis Carroll terms, their pool of tears gave way to a mad tea party — including run-ins with pirates and men perched in trees.

Refusing to accept the dominant narrative of Alzheimer’s disease as a horror story, Walrath rewrote it as Aliceheimer’s, which consists of stories and drawings about living with Alice and her fleeting memories. The final product is an 80page, 35-picture tribute to her mother’s animated mind — a wonderland, not a graveyard. Alice is still very much alive in real life as well as in the book, but she now resides in a memory care facility.

“People with Alzheimer’s are perceived as zombies, bodies without minds, waiting for valiant researchers to find a cure,” Walrath explains in the introduction to her book. “For Alice

and me, the story was different.

Alzheimer’s was a time of healing and magic.”

Walrath uses “graphic medicine,” a form of witnessing akin to her work as a medical anthropologist, to reveal

liceheimer’s found me, not the other way around.” So begins Dana Walrath’s “graphic medicine memoir,” in which she uses text and drawings to chronicle the magical thinking and images of a trip down Alzheimer’s memory-stealing lane. The Alice of the title, and the one taking that trip, is her mother. Anyone caring for a loved one with the disease — or anyone with a mother — would be well served to get a copy of Aliceheimer’s: Alzheimer’s Through the Looking Glass in their hands.

Walrath’s book offers a unique, even refreshing, perspective on one of the world’s most perplexing diseases, which now affects more than 12,000 people in Vermont and nearly 44 million globally.

A quick scan of Amazon shows evidence of more than 400 books on the subject.

Clearly, there is much to say about the only one of the top five causes of death in the United States that cannot be treated, slowed or cured.

One of the reasons Aliceheimer’s stands out in the field of medicine and memoir is that the author stands out in both. Walrath was an associate professor of medical anthropology at the University of Vermont College of Medicine before taking a leave of absence to earn an MFA in writing from

Walrath explains in the introduction that the words and images in Aliceheimer’s can be viewed in any number of ways: Page through to feel the storyline as it exists in the drawings on their own; read it from cover to cover, feeling the long narrative carried in the text that was inspired by the images and written over several years; and finally, when your attention is short, as it is for anyone with memory challenges or simply pressed for time, leaf through the book to any page and take in a single vignette along with the images that set that story into motion.

the heart behind her mother’s brain disease and to heal old wounds between them. By depicting Alzheimer’s in a style associated with comics, she flips the long-standing narrative about the disease on its head. The effect is a much-needed respite from the abundance of grim stories on the market.

The author tests the idea that Alzheimer’s might be mind-expanding as well as -contracting. Using words and pictures to cross boundaries, she arrives at new ways of thinking about living with the disease.

“Around the world, comic artists, caretakers, parents and assorted onlookers are taking up their drawing tools, pens, papers, scissors and computers to depict illnesses and ways of being human that have been stigmatized,” Walrath writes in the intro. “The images and words of a graphic narrative bring back the humanity of a person with dementia.”

In Aliceheimer’s, Walrath draws her mother in the dreamlike ways in which Alice talks about herself: wondering if she’s grown hoofs and horns, or if broccoli is growing out of her ears. Each charming image of Alice — always wearing a bathrobe decorated with cutout words from Lewis Carroll’s book — is accompanied by a heartwarming tale of her adventures.

In “Fairy Pirates,” Walrath tells us that Alice “escapes the captivity of Alzheimer’s through story” and that “pirates, the ultimate hostage takers, often lend her a hand.” Alice is drawn back on shore, hungry for ice cream, after a stint with the swashbucklers.

ong before Tripp Murray ever set foot inside a legal cannabis cultivation facility, he knew what it took to grow a small startup company into a thriving business: seed money.

For 17 years, the New York native worked in the traditional world of investment banking, eventually becoming director of the U.S. equity capital markets for a major French bank. Then, a few years ago, a friend asked Murray to review a business plan for a potential investment opportunity in an industry with which neither had any previous experience.

Though the commodity — marijuana — was unusual, the business fundamentals were not. Besides investors, all startups need guidance from someone who understands banking, balance sheets, cash flows, and the complexities of tax and regulatory policies.

So Murray met with the Colorado-based operator and a lawyer who had been involved in writing the laws that now govern Denver’s adult-use cannabis market. Soon the financier was an informal member of the “cannabis club,” spending every third week meeting with pot producers in the Denver area, touring facilities, building relationships and providing financial advice on behalf of his thenemployer, Medallion Financial Group.

That firm, whose slogan is “In niches there are riches,” got its start by financing taxi medallions, or licenses. With cannabis, Medallion Financial was looking to invest not just thousands but millions of dollars in what it saw as a major growth industry. The legal market is projected to expand from $4.6 billion in 2014 to $21.8 billion by 2020 — a 30 percent annual growth rate — so the financiers saw plenty of green to be made in this rich niche.

“It’s a very entrepreneurial business,” Murray says. “There are a few very large players in Colorado, but the majority of them are smaller entrepreneurs.”

Today Murray, 42, is the managing partner of his own Burlingtonbased consulting firm, Virentium Advisors, which specializes in the legal cannabis industry. The name comes from the Latin word meaning “evergreen.” Though the Vermont legislature failed to legalize marijuana this session, Murray is one of a handful of Vermonters already making a legal living in cannabis commerce. He advises businesses and investors in some of the 24 states (plus the District of Columbia) that have legalized the production and sale of marijuana.

And, no, his first name isn’t a drug reference.

It’s a nickname he acquired from his given name, William Terrence Murray III — “Tripp is short for triple,” he explains.

Murray has local clients, too.

They include some of Vermont’s medical marijuana dispensaries and the Vermont Cannabis Collaborative, a coalition of local entrepreneurs and nonprofits that helped push this year’s legalization campaign.

“Tripp was extremely helpful for us,” says Burlington attorney Ken Merritt, who worked on that campaign for the VCC. While the effort ultimately fell short, Merritt adds, “I’m sure we’ll eventually find some good things for him to do.”

When Murray meets with Seven Days in a downtown Burlington coffeehouse, it’s readily apparent that he’s trying to redefine the public face of cannabis. Instead of the Queen City’s typical business-casual attire, he shows up for the interview in a suit jacket, slacks and a dress shirt.

Anyone eavesdropping on the conversation might easily mistake him for a financial planner providing advice on a 401(k) plan.

Murray’s choice of words similarly reflects the industry’s concerted effort to move beyond what he calls its ““Reefer Madness Madness,, fear-based” public persona. He consistently refers to the product as cannabis, not marijuana, ganga, weed or dope. He also eschews the term “recreational market” in favor of the more responsiblesounding “adult-use market.”

Such distinctions are more than mere semantics.

Murray calls the underground or black market the “unregulated market.” The implication is that many cannabis consumers are otherwise law-abiding citizens who would be happy to buy their product from licensed, taxed and regulated suppliers.

As for Murray’s consulting services, in many respects they barely differ from those in more conventional industries. He often helps companies with their strategic planning and even serves as their interim chief financial officer until the startup is off the ground.

“This industry is growing very quickly,” he says. “With most entrepreneurs, they’re going in so many directions at once that sometimes they lose sight of the bottom line.”

For example, a company may consult him on whether it makes sense to purchase a commercial-grade extractor of THC, the chemical compound that produces a high, so the company can manufacture edibles. Murray helps the partners decide whether they should make that $175,000 to $250,000 investment — or just bring their excess flower and trim to a contractor, who can do that extraction for a fee.

“There’s a lot of revenue in this industry,” Murray notes. “But there’s a big difference between revenue and profit.”

He estimates that about 75 percent of the issues he helps companies tackle are growing pains that all businesses experience when they go from being, say, a $3 million enterprise to a $12 million one.

Brooke Gehring is a partner and CEO of Patients Choice of Colorado, a medical and adult-use cannabis company headquartered in Denver. PCC owns four dispensaries in the Denver metro area and two grow facilities. Like Murray, Gehring got into the cannabis industry from commercial banking. In 2008, while overseeing a real estate portfolio, she began receiving calls from investors looking for deals on foreclosed

qualified to speak on the pros and cons of each state’s approach to legalizing its medical and adult-use markets.

What advice would he offer to lawmakers when they inevitably take up this issue again?

First, Murray suggests that Vermont opt for a “regulated market” with a limited number of licensees. All those businesses should start out vertically integrated, he further advises, to assuage public and law enforcement concerns about diversion of the product into the unregulated markets of neighboring states.

Over time, however, Murray thinks Vermont could ease up on those restrictions and open its “cannabis space” to more specialized companies, such as organic and non-GMO growers, edible-only producers, THC-oil extractors and the like.

Should the state limit cannabis investments to Vermont residents — exclusively or predominantly — as some have suggested?

In Murray’s opinion, that’s a bad idea. He points out the high cost of starting up a commercial cultivation facility and dispensary, which requires $2 million to $5 million at the outset.

Once a company completes its paperwork, purchases its license, finds a facility, outfits it with grow equipment and security systems, and hires employees, it will still have to weather nine months of operations, with zero revenue, before any product is ready for market.

In Murray’s experience, he says, allowing as many as 50 percent out-of-state investments per company ensures a healthy marketplace without sacrificing strong in-state controls.

“If you formulate regulation that doesn’t allow companies to succeed, then you hurt the industry and the state,” he adds. “You need to have a give-and-take so that companies can employ individuals and increase tax revenue.”

Murray’s final recommendation for Vermont lawmakers may surprise some pro-legalization advocates.

“Go it slow,” he says. “Start with just a handful of licenses, then open it up to more. Don’t jump in with both feet.

Because every state is different, and the social tolerance to it is different, too. I do think it’s going to take a while to change the public’s perception of what cannabis is. But it will change.” m

storefronts and industrial warehouses — ideal locations for the newly legalized cannabis grow facilities and dispensaries.

Once she realized why those bank-owned properties were in such high demand, she jumped into the cannabis market herself.

One reason Gehring likes working with Murray, she says, is that he “speaks the language” of traditional investment bankers yet understands the unique challenges of the legal cannabis industry.

“We don’t have traditional ways to go to a bank and apply for a small business loan or have a business line of credit,” she explains. “Tripp has been very helpful in finding us creative and transparent ways to optimize our business.”

The federal government still lists marijuana as a Schedule I drug, on par with LSD, cocaine and heroin, and thereby places significant financial constraints on those who manufacture and sell it legally. Banking, payroll, checking and lines of credit all pose major challenges.

Many dispensaries do not accept credit cards because the transactions may be electronically routed through states where marijuana is illegal, raising the specter of federal moneylaundering charges.

“It’s still a big challenge,” says Murray.

Last year, the State of Colorado issued a charter and bank routing number to Denver-based Fourth Corner Credit Union, the first financial institution that specializes in cannabis commerce. However, the Federal Reserve System’s Kansas City branch refused to issue a master account that would allow the credit union to conduct interstate wire transfers with other financial institutions. In January, a federal judge dismissed Fourth Corner’s federal lawsuit, ruling that to allow such transactions would “facilitate criminal activity.”

Such decisions reflect the federal government’s often self-contradictory policies about commercial weed. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has allowed at least one “cannabis-focused agriculture company,” Terra Tech, to trade its stocks publicly on the Nasdaq’s OTC exchange. Even federal tax policies vary depending on whether a company cultivates, manufactures, extracts or dispenses marijuana — or does all of the above, a model known as vertical integration.

Vermont lawmakers didn’t seek out Murray’s advice this session while they debated how legalization should look in the Green Mountain State. Yet, as someone who conducts business in a variety of regulatory settings, he’s eminently

t Pine Island Community Farm in Colchester on a Sunday afternoon, three figures in white, baggy suits and yellow gloves stood out against the green grass and blue sky. They looked like astronauts, but they were actually beekeepers. And they were about to undertake a major mission: transferring some 20,000 bees to two hive bodies.

“François, do you want to do the smoke?” Amy Kirk asked fellow beekeeper François Gasaba. She had started a fire in a smoker using dry grass and twigs. When bees sense danger, they release alarm pheromones to alert one another. Dousing them with smoke helps to mask those chemicals so the bees stay calm and the beekeepers can do their work, Kirk explained.

Pine Island project manager Karen Freudenberger looked on as Kirk gingerly pulled off the lid of a box containing a nucleus colony — commonly referred to as a “nuc.” Gasaba squeezed the smoker into the nuc, sending white puffs over the top of the bee-laden frames inside.

“Look at all of them. Isn’t it awesome?” Kirk said as she lifted the first of five frames, unfazed by the bees swarming around the trio.

“Welcome to Pine Island, guys!”

Freudenberger cheered.

Located just a stone’s throw from the Winooski River, the Pine Island Community Farm is a partnership of the Vermont Land Trust and the Association of Africans Living in Vermont. When it opened in February 2013, the farm was known as the Vermont Goat Collaborative. The project started because the New American community, most of whom were former refugees, had difficulties buying goat meat — especially the fresh, locally raised goats they said they prefer.

As the farm diversified beyond raising goats, it was renamed Pine Island

Community Farm. All together, it costs about $25,000 per year to run, with land tax and insurance among the biggest expenses.

Today, there’s a livestock collaborative for goats and chickens, a beekeeping collaborative, and a garden collaborative. The livestock collective comprises two businesses, each one an individual enterprise where farmers are responsible for funding their own operations.

“We’re always open to new ideas,” said Freudenberger. That is, except for raising pigs; the farm respects Muslim visitors and clients, she noted.

As a whole, Pine Island is a complex venture with a social mission, explained LISTEN IN ON LOCAL FOODIES...

Freudenberger. Not only does it provide the community with locally grown meat, it promotes cross-cultural relations. It also allows the New Americans, some of whom were farmers and gardeners in their native countries, to maintain their traditions.

There’s an ecological restoration component, too. The farmers hope to transform areas where the goats graze into a landscape that mimics the natural ecology of the Intervale floodplain.

“This would transition from the grasslands that have been created by haying and, at one point, corn,” explained Freudenberger. To do this, the farm planted bands of “positively invasive”

species native to the floodplain, such as willows, red osier dogwoods and silver maples, in strips in the same meadows where the goats graze. Portable electric fences keep the herd off these strips until they are well established. The aim is for the plants to repopulate in the meadows.

“We hope to leave this place better than we found it,” said Freudenberger, who has had a long career in international community development.

Local author ADAM KRAKOWSKI often writes about beer for Yankee Brew News and other publications, but the journalist spent much of the last year researching a seemingly incompatible topic: prohibition. Earlier this month, his new book, Vermont Prohibition: Teetotalers, Bootleggers & Corruption (History Press) hit the shelves of local bookstores.

Before nationwide Prohibition (1920-1933), Vermonters had lived under various booze bans since the 1850s. Much of Krakowski’s book traces the political history of those dry spells, which the author compiled from newspaper clippings and other primary sources.

“I really wanted to stay away from stories like, ‘Oh, my granddad had a still,’” Krakowski says. Many such accounts have been published, he notes, and they tend to be unreliable and nonspecific.

Burlington’s HOUSE OF FERMENTOLOGY made its draft debut last weekend at FOAM BREWERS, which opened a month ago on Burlington’s waterfront. HOF’s first release — a rust-orange wild American ale called Orange Dot — is a blended ferment, aged eight months in French oak barrels with wildflower honey and cara cara oranges.

Even at a formidable 6.5 percent alcohol (rather boozy for a sour beer), the new brew is thirst-quenching and bright, marrying brisk acid with a touch of funk.

“We wanted to do something lean and dry with clean lactic acidity,” says brewer TODD HAIRE, who co-owns HOF and Foam Brewers with two sets of partners.

Orange Dot is just the beginning for HOF. In addition to releasing the brew in bottles in June, Haire plans to offer Pink Dot (wild-fermented golden ale with raspberries, ginger

beekeeper — Dr. Jean-Marie Mujakazi, the Burundi-born cofounder of AALV. Though the trio didn’t have much experience, they’ve received advice from the Vermont Beekeepers Association and other resources, including two former Peace Corps members who had kept bees.

Kirk, a grant manager at the consulting, engineering and technical services company Tetra Tech, has long been interested in beekeeping but can’t have a hive at her Winooski residence.

Mujakazi and Freudenberger had been toying with the idea of harvesting honey, and, at Pine Island, it all came together.

“My thoughts focus on health, always,” Mujakazi said. He wants to encourage his community members to use honey instead of sugar.

“If we succeed, we can grow more hives next year,” he added.

While the beekeepers installed their hive bodies, gardeners plowed and sowed their plots. The garden collaborative, which began in 2015, covers an area of seven hectares. A standard-size plot is an eighth of an acre and costs $90 for the season — a fee that has allowed the farm to start generating its own income. About 60 families maintain gardens there, and they’ve formed subgroups of farmers who want to work together, often because they speak the same language.

Each of these groups has its own leadership, whose tasks include collecting fees and liaising with Freudenberger.

When Seven Days met Bhutaneseborn Bishnu Khadka, he was planting surplus cabbage and zucchini seedlings from the Intervale Community Farm.

Khadka had grown vegetables at the Ethan Allen Homestead for four years but moved to Pine Island in 2015 after floods damaged his produce. Since Khadka is sharing his plot with another family, he pays half the fee.

His first harvest at Pine Island was “pretty good,” Khadka said. “I still have the tomatoes that I grew last year,” he added. This year, the licensed nursing assistant at the University of Vermont Medical Center plans to grow cabbage, coriander, habañero peppers, sweet peppers, tomatoes, zucchini and more.

Khadka learned how to grow vegetables from his parents, who were farmers in Bhutan and Nepal, he said.

Farming allows him to connect with the land and continue his family’s tradition.

“I’m doing this not to grow a lot of vegetables, but because I enjoy doing it,” he explained.

While he’s been successful at Pine Island, Khadka has one unfulfilled

wish: to grow rice. The 35-year-old once grew Japanese brown rice at the Ethan Allen Homestead, but lamented that it was labor-intensive. Though harvesting the rice required a lot of work, when he ate it, Khadka said, he felt like he was “in heaven.”

Some distance away from Khadka’s plot is that of Theogène Mahoro. The

Rwandan native is also one of two farmers who run the livestock collaborative.

In addition, he works full time at Rhino Foods. “I like being busy all the time,” the 38-year-old said. Mahoro said that he studied agriculture in high school in Rwanda.

Though he started out as a goat farmer in 2014, Mahoro now sells chickens. Last

year, he said, he sold between 3,000 and 3,200 spent layer hens — those retired from free-range egg-laying farms — and roosters in six months. A hen can fetch $8, a rooster up to $15, Mahoro explained. Last summer, some Bhutanese families bought four chickens at a time, he added. And during Bhutanese religious festivals, the demand for meat increases.

Mahoro lives with his family on the Pine Island farm. His 5-year-old daughter, Solange, and 4-year-old son, Kevin, often play with Jevanna Dhaurali, 4, and her 9-year-old sister, Joshna.

Their father, Chuda Dhaurali, was Pine Island’s pilot goat farmer, and they have lived at the farm since 2013.

What started out as a part-time venture has turned into a full-time job for Dhaurali as his herd has nearly quadrupled — from 80 to about 300 — in three years. His wife, Gita, and a friend, Yam Tiwari, lend extra hands at the farm.

Volunteers, many of whom are affiliated with the City Market/Onion River Co-op member-worker program, also help with cleaning the barn and feeding the baby goats.

Pine Island now has a state-sanctioned slaughter facility, which allows buyers to butcher their animals on-farm.

REASON HERE: Ellie didn't do well with the neighbor's dogs.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS: Ellie is mostly deaf.

SUMMARY: Ellie is a bat-eared sweetheart, a lover of toys and a joy to be around. Th is cute, spunky girl will have you

grinning in no time with her wiggly butt and squinty smiles.

(But don’t worry, Ellie is very food motivated!) If you’re looking for a young dog with some great house training skills up her sleeve and the willingness to learn more, Ellie may just be your gal!

DOGS/CATS: Ellie would like to be the only dog in the house. She thinks cats are fun to chase. She has lived with older children and done well with them.

Before advertising in Seven Days, I was scouting and cherry picking potential employees.

I realized that I needed to reach a larger group of applicants, so I reached out to Michelle Brown, the employment account representative.

She helped me design a really creative ad that not only looked great, it worked.

Within two days I started getting resumes and inquiries from quality individuals.

I’m a big fan of instant gratification and Seven Days’ mixed media outlets have given me just what I wanted.

uth Reichl has written about food for almost five decades.

She has produced critically acclaimed works across genres: one novel, two cookbooks and four memoirs. Reichl has more than 20 years’ experience as a restaurant critic, notably for the Los Angeles Times and the New York Times,, and spent 10 years as editor in chief of the late, and legendary, Gourmet magazine. Her many accolades include six James Beard Foundation awards.

After residing in major cities for most of her career, Reichl now lives full time at her house in the Berkshires, making her brief stay in Vermont “feel very much like home.”

Last Tuesday, I met Reichl at Sterling College in Craftsbury Common, where she stayed three days to co-teach a summer course called Food Writing From the Farm at the college’s School of the New American Farmstead. We grabbed two rocking chairs on the front porch of Sterling’s admissions office to talk food, Vermont and the joy of “ordinary things.”

SEVEN DAYS: What’s the role of a food writer in a small community like Vermont? Is it our job to help steer the conversation?

RUTH REICHL: Boy, that’s a big question. I think we live in the most complicated food time the world has ever seen. There has never been a greater need for really smart journalism about food supply. For way too long, food writers thought of themselves as frivolous; that their job was basically to mince pages and help women cook nice recipes for their families. Now we’re beginning to truly understand the primary role of food in keeping communities together. Food is an economic force — the largest economic force in the world, in fact. It’s an issue of health and an issue of politics. It’s more affected by climate change than any other industry. I think it would be irresponsible for any food writer not to be addressing those issues and telling people how important their food choices are.

SD: How does the government have to step up, as well?

RR: [The government has] to change our national tax policy. That’s something we cannot affect. It’s an issue of tax policy

SD: Can you tell me more about Food Writing From the Farm?

RR: There is a whole group of [teachers] here for the course.

We’re alternating: Scott Peacock [James Beard Award-winning chef of American southern cuisine] starts tomorrow. My piece in the class is to talk about voice. I’ve been writing about food for 50 years; I’m here to make myself and my experience available.

THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A GREATER NEED FOR

REALLY SMART JOURNALISM ABOUT FOOD SUPPLY.

R UTH R E IC H L

when people go to McDonald’s and it’s cheaper to buy a Big Mac than it is to buy a salad. We have to stop subsidizing things like corn and sugar. I would also like us all to understand that eating is learned behavior; it is not innate. How we feed our children and teach them about food in school are primary lessons. This cannot happen on a grassroots level alone.

SD: How can Vermont be a role model in the national food community?

RR: [Vermont] is perfectly set up, since [it’s] already one of the agricultural communities in America. In Vermont, farms aren’t seen as elite institutions; they’re part of life already. So [Vermont], probably more than any other state, is really in a position to integrate the farm

SD: In a recent Seven Days cover story called “Plates in the Air” [April 20], writer Hannah Palmer Egan found that the cost of maintaining a farm-to-table restaurant in Vermont is often at odds with creating a sustainable work life for the owners. How can farmers and chefs work together to create a system that functions in the long term?

RR: That’s the biggest question there is right now. And it’s not just farmers and chefs; it’s farmers, chefs and eaters everywhere. How can we move [the notion of farm-to-table] out of an elite thing? Right now, we have the most bifurcated food system the world has ever seen. Right? If you’re a “rich” person, you can eat food grown in beautiful soil that has never been touched by pesticides. Food is seasonal, and it’s grown nearby. If you’re a “poor” person, you are relegated to stuff that is cheaper than food, and it is essentially killing you.

SD: As a team — the chef, the farmer and the eater — should people expect to pay more for food?

RR: We have the cheapest food that the world has ever seen. It’s a real problem.

There’s so much wrong with the factory

raising of animals, and the hidden cost of those animals is enormous. As a society, we need to factor those costs in and ask: What is the real expense of all this cheap food? If we can’t afford to eat chicken every night, we need to rethink what we consider a meal. We need to go back to a different kind of diet, and I think chefs are the ones who will lead that transformation.

SD: What are some other issues people are grappling with in the kitchen right now? Both for restaurants and for home cooks?

RR: In restaurants, the big issue is tipping. Restaurants are now trying to give their servers benefits and an hourly wage. There’s still this notion that the customer doesn’t technically have to give their waiter gratuity. Excuse me, this person just worked for you. It is not at your discretion.

For home cooks, the biggest issue is social justice for food workers: people who work in meat-packing plants, for instance, or people who pick produce.

Food workers are the worst-paid people in America. One of the reasons our food is so cheap is because we’re essentially exploiting a vulnerable population of undocumented people. We ran this “tomato slaves” piece in Gourmet [“Politics of the Plate: The Price of Tomatoes,” 2009] about the issue.

SD: In your latest cookbook/memoir, My Kitchen Year: 136 Recipes That Saved My Life, you say that the key to happiness is “finding joy in ordinary things.” What are some of your favorite ordinary things?

RR: There are so many. I love the sound of a wood thrush. There’s an explosion of dandelions recently in Vermont — it’s like the Yellow Brick Road, it’s so beautiful. The smell of onions caramelizing in butter. The smell of rain on the sidewalk in New York.

Lilacs, when the lilacs come out. Fresh strawberries. One perfect peach.

woods and harvest enough ramps to put a few on each diner’s plate. Or take a midafternoon drive down to a buddy’s farm and pick up the pork chops while chewing the fat.

Chef ADAM LONGWORTH of Warren’s the COMMON MAN was feeling the lack of those moments, suggests his business and life partner, LORIEN WROTEN. As Seven Days reported in March, the couple decided to close the doors of their Warren restaurant in April. While running the Common Man at full steam, Wroten says, they were missing out on some of their favorite aspects of working with food. “We’ve always wanted to do something smaller and more creative,” she adds.

Now they’ve reopened the doors to do just that. Though Wroten says she and

Boozehounds, rejoice: The book offers local Prohibition-era cocktail recipes, too, though they’re different from what most might expect. “What we think of as a ‘Prohibition cocktail’ is more about what we romanticize about Prohibition [than reality,]” Krakowski says.

Because the available booze was harsh and gritty, “people used all these syrups and sweet stuff. They were trying to mask the liquor, so they’d make cocktails bright and pretty and on the sweet side.”

Longworth may return to a more traditional format this winter, they’ll devote the summer and fall to offering a series of intimate, exploratory eight-course dinners for eight to 12 people. (That number may consist of one large party or several smaller ones.)

The first four courses are eaten in the kitchen, which allows Longworth to interact with guests even as he cooks dishes such as agnolotti with chèvreramp filling and morels, or roasted suckling pig with polenta. The flower-strewn dining room frames the final courses. Wroten hosts, pours wine and makes cocktails that complement the evening’s dishes.

At the kickoff dinner last weekend, Wroten says, the couple attracted open-minded customers who were excited to come in and have the chef prepare whatever he found delicious and seasonally appropriate, rather than the safe options found on more typical restaurant menus. It was just what Longworth and Wroten had hoped for.

Of her partner, says Wroten, “Seeing him fall back in love with cooking … has been so cool. It’s a professional healing sabbatical for us, getting back in touch with what we love about the industry.”

JUN.2-5 | MUSIC Strung Out Festival season is upon us, and Roots on the River in Bellows Falls is among those kicking it off. For four nights, the tiny town on the Connecticut River will be packed with performers plucking and picking in the styles of their forebears. The acts range from up-and-comers such as the Steel Wheels, who harmoniously blend Americana and blues sounds, to old-timers such as Dave Alvin of the Blasters.

And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. With performances in the tent behind the Rodeway Inn, at Pleasant Valley Brewing and the popular Sunday show at the Rockingham Meeting House, there’s sure to be something for everyone.

Spinning in Squares When the Four Seasons Restaurant in Midtown Manhattan’s Seagram Building first opened in the late ’50s, its proprietors commissioned Mark Rothko to paint a series for the lavish interior. But halfway through completing the paintings, the illustrious artist returned the money and kept the collection — now called the Seagram Murals — for himself. John Logan’s 2009 play Red captures Rothko in the crux of that dilemma. The two-man biographical drama focuses on the artist and his fictional assistant as they struggle with the commission as well as the relationships between a maker, his creations and their audience. Lost Nation Theater’s rendition of the award-winning drama brings that artistic struggle to Vermont.

‘RED’ Thursday, June 2, through Saturday, June 4, 7:30 p.m., and Sunday, June 5, 2 p.m., at Montpelier City Hall Auditorium.

Adamant, as the saying goes, is a state of mind. That’s because the small community within Calais is unincorporated, meaning there are no town lines to indicate what is and isn’t part of the village. That flexible attitude extends to Adamant’s annual Blackfly Festival. Whereas some might see the proliferation of the pesky spring insect as a downer, residents here find cause to celebrate, because, hey, a party for flies is better than no party at all! Check out the costume parade, pie contest, live music and a poetry slam led

by Vermont’s notable slam champ Geof Hewitt. Don’t forget the bug spray.

The Vermont Gran Fondo isn’t a bike race, per se. In Italian the name means “great endurance” or “long distance,” and that’s exactly what the Green Mountain State’s take on the noncompetitive cycling event is all about. The 103.5-mile course offers cyclists the chance to hurl themselves through four ultra-challenging mountain gaps: the Appalachian, Moretown Mountain, Roxbury and Lincoln gaps — and that last one boasts the steepest paved mile in the United States. An exercise in endurance and enjoyment, the ride includes stunning mountain views, iconic Vermont dirt roads, five covered bridges and — for those who make it — an after-party at Stonecutter Spirits.

his just in: The Burlington Discover Jazz Festival rules.

Even if you’re one of those prickly purists who bristle every year at the ratio of jazz to, um, not-jazz music (found at jazz fests the world over), you have to admit these 10 days in June are an annual highlight of the year. And why not? With the likes of Diane Schuur, the Kenny Barron Trio, the Marcus Roberts Trio, Juan de Marcos & the Afro-Cuban All Stars and Randy Newman (see story on page 30) set to grace stages around the Queen City, it’s a fine time to be a music fan in Burlington.

Here’s the thing, though. It’s incredible that all of those big names and more are descending on our cozy lakeside hamlet, but seeing them ain’t exactly cheap. Sure, they’re worth the money — and then some. But some of us could go broke trying to catch them all.

Fortunately, the BDJF offers a bounty of excellent shows that won’t cost you anything but time. More than 150 of them, in fact. The only question is: Where to begin?

To get you started, we’ve combed through the BDJF calendar to identify some of the most intriguing free shows over the first half of the festival. Come back next week for the fest’s closing acts. Oh, and don’t be afraid to take a chance on something you don’t see here. After all, it’s called the Burlington Discover Jazz Festival for a reason.

Friday, June 3

We begin, well, at the beginning. While most of the opening festivities happen later in the day, veteran local jazz guitarist Dayve Huckett plays the first show of the 2016 BDJF with a morning set at Leunig’s Bistro. In fact, you could do worse than to linger on the corner of Church and College streets throughout the day — or any day of the fest, really — to get a taste of the Vermont jazz scene and maybe some steak frites. Following Huckett come the Jake Whitesell Quartet, the Chris Peterman Quartet, and Jenni Johnson & the Jazz Junketeers.

The main free event downtown is the Long Trail Live series, happening on three stages on the Church Street Marketplace.

Local roots-soul duo Dwight & Nicole headline on the Top Block Stage in front of Halvorson’s Upstreet Café; Boston Afro-funk band Macrotones open.

Catch Boston upand-comers Sarah and the Wild Versatile on the City Hall Stage with locals Steady Betty. Will Bernard

Brandee Younger

Stephanie Chou unveils her fusion of jazz, pop and classical Chinese influences, alongside keyboardist Kevin Hays, kicking off the Jazz at the BCA Center series.

Church Street again comes alive on the festival’s second night. Acts appearing on the outdoor Marketplace stages include Portland, Ore.’s “heavy groove power trio” Trio Subtonic, Boston “funk machine” Akashic Record and Vermont native Walker Adams with his genrebending band.

On the club scene, swing by the gorgeous new waterfront brewhouse Foam Brewers for equally gorgeous vocal jazz from local chanteuse Audrey Bernstein with guitarist Joe Capps — and maybe stick around for some classic country from Eric George and the Honky Tonk Band. (It can’t be all jazz all the time, right?)

Smooth Antics vocalist Stephanie Lynn Heaghney lights up the Light Club Lamp Shop with a solo set — see the review of her new EP on page 67. Then maybe pop in next door for some gritty Afro-funk courtesy of Oobleck at Radio Bean.

Balkan-inspired Cocek! Brass Band hold down the Center Stage with Burlington funky bunch the Renegade Groove.

MUSIC 63

Once upon a time, during jazz fest I used to declare this column a “jazz-free zone.” It was a place in the music section reserved for covering events that didn’t fall under the ever-expanding umbrella of the Burlington Discover Jazz Festival.

I didn’t do that because I was a smart-ass who liked to provoke jazz fans. Well, at least not entirely. Rather, it was an effort to give some shine to a few events around the state that might otherwise get blotted out by the festival’s long shadow.

In recent years, I abandoned that angle. For one thing, the festival grew to be increasingly inclusive, and there simply aren’t that many shows happening that are not part of BDJF. For another, as the late trombonist RICK DAVIES pointed out in an online comment to one of those columns, “A jazz-free Soundbites? How is that different from any other week?”

In other words, even with lots of coverage in other parts of the paper, it was a disservice to not write about jazz in the column during the 10 days of the year that it takes center stage in Burlington. That’s especially true given how infrequently jazz is covered in these pages. (And touché, Rick.)

But this week, on the eve of the BDJF, we’re doing a bit of a throwback to those old columns, because, well, some stuff is happening that actually isn’t jazz-related.

I know. I’m as shocked as you are.

So without further ado, let’s hop in the wayback machine for a (mostly) jazz-free edition of Soundbites.

Rockingham, Vermont.” I take that not to mean that the two-day hoedown is actually Vermont’s premier music fest. That would just be silly — and I suspect that the folks at Grand Point North, Waking Windows, the Frendly Gathering and, of course, BDJF might beg to differ. Rather, I think it just means that it’s Vermont premier music fest in Rockingham. And that’s almost certainly the case.

This is the second year of PITPMF, and the organizers have put together a rowdy lineup that should appeal to fans of bluegrass, folk and country and anyone else who likes their music cut with a shot of moonshine. And anyone who likes really incredible band names. To wit…

The slate this year includes CARRIE NATION AND THE SPEAKEASY, BOB WAYNE AND THE OUTLAW CARNIES, POSSESSED BY PAUL JAMES, DEAD SOLDIERS, SEAN K PRESTON AND THE LOADED PISTOLS, GALLOWS BOUND, the HARMED BROTHERS, TIGERMAN WOAH, JD AND THE SIX FEET DEEP, JAKOBS FERRY STRAGGLERS, SAINTS AND LIARS, and the BONE FACTORY, among others.

Is it me, or does that seem like a lot of bands with a predilection towards violence and/or death? Must be that gothic Americana thing.

Most of those bands are pretty wellknown in twangy circles. But I’m most

excited about another artist at the fest: WILLY TEA TAYLOR. For one thing, just look at the dude’s beard. That thing is amazing.

For another, I believe he is the world’s foremost — read: only — purveyor of “baseball folk.”

Taylor’s latest record is called Knuckleball Prime, which is how Taylor thinks of his current phase of adulthood.

In his youth, Taylor was a baseball player, and apparently a pretty good one. But a knee injury at 18 ended his career, so, naturally, he took to music. But what does that have to do with knuckleballs?

“Most baseball players peak in their twenties,” writes Taylor on his website.

“But knuckleball pitchers tend to blossom in their thirties and forties. I’m staring down my knuckleball prime.”

And he seems to be blossoming, much like knuckleballers such as CHARLIE HOUGH, TIM WAKEFIELD, RA DICKEY and, most recently, STEVEN WRIGHT did later in their careers. His record is a stirring, quirky strain of rootsy Americana, influenced in equal measures by the likes of BOB DYLAN, JOHN HARTFORD and WILLIE NELSON as WEIRD AL YANKOVIC. It also boasts some ace players including GABE WITCHER and NOAM PIKELNY of PUNCH BROTHERS and SARA WATKINS of NICKEL CREEK, to name a few.

For more on the Pickin’ in the Pasture, visit the fest’s Facebook page. Oh, and if you can’t make the event, you can catch Taylor at Radio Bean on Wednesday, June 1.

Last but not least: So you wanna be a music journalist, eh?

Last week, Seven Days posted an ad advertising the position of assistant music editor — find the print version in this week’s classifieds. Predictably, I’ve been deluged by emails, Facebook messages and texts with questions. So, I’d like to close this week by answering the most common queries. Here goes.

OK, fine. I’ll throw in a plug for a BDJF show. On Monday, June 6, Club Metronome hosts Metal Monday #221: The Anti-Jazz Fest Show featuring IRON MAIDEN tribute band MADE IN IRON, SAVAGE HEN and MAHARAJA. I know, I know. But the show is technically on the BDJF calendar. And I assume the “Anti-Jazz Fest” thing is meant in good humor — or is directed at jazz festivals in general. Plus, those are three seriously killer local metal bands. And Iron Maiden had their jazzier moments, right? [Editor’s note: No.]

his memory lives on in Burlington through events such as the annual A-Dog Day in August and the work of the nonprofit foundation established in his honor, Friends for A-Dog. This Saturday, June 4, Williams’ legacy will be set in stone — literally. That day, the new skate park on the Burlington waterfront will officially be known as the Andy A-Dog Williams Memorial Skate Park.

To celebrate the occasion, Friends for A-Dog has a full day of events planned at the park. There will be music from local DJs CRUSTY CUTS and MASHTODON. Guest speakers will include reps from the TONY HAWK Foundation, Friends for A-Dog, the King Street Center and Burlington Mayor MIRO WEINBERGER. There will be a bonemarrow drive. And there will be a skate competition, “Ollie High for SEAN STEM,” in honor of the late Stem, who passed away early this year and, like Williams, was an avid skateboarder.

That evening, there will be a dinner and after-party at Red Square, with Bento sushi and music from ANDY LUGO, JAHSON,

Yes, it is a full-time position. Yes, you will be working directly with me, intimately. No, I’m not leaving the paper.

Yes, it’s a dream job. No, the job doesn’t consist solely of going to shows for free.

Yes, you must be able to write — well. Yes, you have to live in Vermont. Yes, it can be a very stressful job — nightmares are also dreams, you know. And, yes, I love it.

I hope you will, too, whoever you end up being.

Now, go see some killer jazz.

SnakeFoot, aka Ross Travis, is a Burlington-based experimental beatmaker who weaves an unusual tapestry of atmospheric and textural sounds. His 2014 album, Gold Collection, was an instrumental amalgam of traditional jazz arrangements, found soundscapes, twitchy hip-hop and ambient electro.

Recently, SnakeFoot released a two-track EP with Steph Heaghney, front woman for the neo-soul-funk group Smooth Antics. Sensual and more melodic than his previous recordings, All Gifted/Trouble EP offers a taste of SnakeFoot’s innovative beats paired with seductive lounge vocals.

“All Gifted” is a sonic journey that ponders the nature of inspiration. A pensive backbeat runs throughout, moving things along at a comfortable clip.

Glitchy, metallic bursts and catchy snare add auditory interest.

Heaghney serves as the muse, singing

For example, the high-speed wail of “Wolf Bait,” which achieves liftoff in the first few seconds and accelerates from there. It’s easy to hear how much thought went into this project: The pacing is perfect, and the transitions between songs always work.

Blue Heart Attack is a serious piece of work, the kind of career capstone that few bands achieve. At least half of the songs here could be college radio hits, and I suspect this album will be a sleeper success that continues to gain momentum as the world outside Vermont gets exposed to it. Villanelles are ready for bigger things, and this album is just the business card to get them there. Besides, that vinyl release still has to happen.

Blue Heart Attack by Villanelles is available at villanellesmusic. bandcamp.com.

their former bassist, Evan Borden, who is credited as “muse” and “mix consultant” to this day. The production here is beyond professional: This album sounds flat-out awesome.

Singer Tristan Baribeau is blessed with a formidable and flexible set of pipes — a soprano register that’s equally expressive from a whisper to a scream, and there’s plenty of both here. He’s also become a smart, playful lyricist, able to impart sly wit and genuine emotion, often simultaneously. To top it all off, he kinda shreds on guitar, too.

Villanelles have been together more than eight years now, and, boy howdy, you can tell. They sound effortless, with a range and restraint that evokes Elvis Costello’s longtime backup outfit, the Attractions. A lot of that is due to the tastefully accomplished keyboard work of Zane Gundersen, who shines on every track here. The band also boasts one of the finest rhythm sections in Burlington right now. Drummer Seth Gundersen and bassist John Rogone clearly have absurd chops, yet their pyrotechnics never once get in the way of the songwriting.

Speaking of which, the songwriting is ambitious, dynamic stuff, especially the brilliant pop of the first four songs.

Several of the tracks are just scorching.

JUNE SPECIAL

SEVENDAYSVT.COM

Villanelles are a Burlington rock band that emerged from Champlain College and have always seemed destined for greatness. Their self-titled 2010 debut album netted them a Best New Vermont Band Daysies award, and their quality has only improved since, blessing us with two punchy EP releases that demonstrated some serious growth.

Blue Heart Attack, the band’s second full-length album, has been a long time coming. Villanelles started recording it in the summer of 2012 and have been threatening to release it for almost two years. That may seem like a slow-burn approach to marketing, but it’s really the result of the eternal conflict between music careers and, well, adult life. Plans for a vinyl pressing were finally set aside, and the album was quietly unleashed online at the end of April.

Was it worth the wait? Without a doubt. Villanelles have fully digested their influences and honed their sound into something distinct. And big. Huge credit is due to the engineering of Stu Stu Studio’s Ryan Power and the mixing work of Ryan Cohen of Robot Dog Studio. And perhaps

of her power to inspire and persuade.

“This time I’m gonna use my ability / to awaken your curiosity,” she sings. Then, “What is it in me that you can’t see / is it all the worldly possibility?”

Later in the song, SnakeFoot introduces some ear candy with distorted vocal echoes and a few background alarm bells. Still, the downtempo track is relatively tame.

“Trouble” opens like a movie scene from the golden age of Hollywood: The curtain draws back, the dramatic intro music cues, a female presence wanders in.

Slinky as ever, Heaghney sings of a woman who will seduce and surprise.

Even if lyrics such as “Shaped like an hourglass / round like a bubble / juicy and supple” are a tad unimaginative, Heaghney delivers them well. Her smoky, trailing voice conveys strength, attitude and seduction. When she teases, “If it’s trouble you’re looking for / then it’s trouble you’ll find,” you believe her.

Musically, “Trouble” is a treat. Deep, staircase-stepping bass notes punctuate raindrops of snazzy percussion. Luxurious and well-placed trumpet notes, courtesy

Tuesday, June 7

A little-known rule in Burlington is that you haven’t done jazz fest unless you’ve caught at least one set from local guitar virtuoso Paul Asbell. Cross that one off your list with his Leunig’s set on Tuesday. After work, swing by Nectar’s for a cold beer by the open garagedoor window and hot jazz with the Pat Markley Trio.

Venerated local psychotropical jazz outfit Gua Gua get heady at Radio Bean, while Ethan Snyder & Friends get spacey with experimental jazz shenanigans at Halflounge. In the evening, drop by the Skinny Pancake and hear some of the finest jazzgrass around with local supergroup Hot Flannel. Then grab a nightcap at the Light Club Lamp Shop and bliss out to the effortlessly smooth sounds of the Julian Chobot Trio.

“Looking Back,” Furchgott Sourdiffe Gallery B Y AMY LI LLY

SEVENDAYSVT.COM 06.01.16-06.08.16 SEVEN DAYS 70 ART

PHOTOS COURTESY OF FURCHGOTT SOURDIFFE GALLERY

A

quarter century is an age in the world of Vermont’s commercial art galleries. The fact that Furchgott Sourdiffe Gallery in Shelburne has persevered that long — the longest of any such gallery in Chittenden County — certainly warrants the three celebratory shows planned for this year by married owners Joan Furchgott and Brad Sourdiffe.

The first, “Looking Back,” is on view upstairs at the homey Victorian through July 5. The others, “Being Present” and “Fast Forward,” will address, respectively, the approximately 35 artists whom the gallery currently represents and new directions in regional art that the couple has discerned.

Furchgott says “Looking Back” was a pleasure to assemble. Of the 17 artists in the group show, all formerly represented by the gallery, some now reside out of state, where Furchgott tracked them down. Laura Von Rosk and Mark Walp live in New York, Alison Goodwin and Henry Isaacs in Maine. Aron Tager, at whose Shaftsbury art class the ownercouple met decades ago, is now an octogenarian who paints and performs in Toronto. Though the artists’ relationships to the gallery go way back, nearly all the work in this show was created in the past couple of years.

The inclusion of certain artists will surprise even longtime gallery patrons.

Dan Fisher returned to painting after taking nine years off to build a house, says Furchgott. His two large oil paintings in the show feature, ironically, dynamic renderings of dilapidated rural structures; one is called “Run-In Shed.”

Petria Mitchell and Jim Giddings, who are married, now mostly show their art at Mitchell Giddings Fine Arts in Brattleboro, which they opened in 2014.

Though it’s impossible to give 17 artists their due in one review, we can note that many of Furchgott’s picks have idiosyncratic, immediately recognizable styles. Isaacs has gained success with his lush, sunny landscapes done in chunky, impressionist-style brushwork that conveys a riot of color and movement. He is particularly good at wind, as in “Farm, Stowe Vermont,” a small, airy view of laundry drying on a hillside line beset by gusts.

“Arcadia I” by Joan Curtis

MANY OF THE ARTISTS FURCHGOTT PICKED HAVE

IDIOSYNCRATIC, IMMEDIATELY RECOGNIZABLE STYLES.

“Run-in Shed” by Dan Fisher

Compared with these, Von Rosk’s paintings are calm and studied, with a hint of fairy-tale malice. Her landscapes, rendered with Henri Rousseau-like precision and cast in an etiolated light, recede directly back and up from the viewer’s space. The most striking pieces are built around a central fissure — a deep-set river, a path through woods.

In the case of “Winter Hill,” a climbing wintry road bordered by a steep drop-off does the job.

Two more landscape artists have a storybook quality to their work. Joan Curtis’ colored-pencil creation on black paper, “Arcadia I,” evokes a pop-up-book world unto itself. Its subjects, denizens of a rural community seen at night through their windows in black-acrylic profile, are arranged in three cutout layers that float at different heights above the black background.

Meanwhile, David Utiger’s “Time Zones” uses a minuscule black-ink

pointillism and color washes to depict a highly detailed landscape and cloudy sky, divided into day and night by a tall tree dominating the foreground. The approach is the opposite of, say, Fisher’s large-scale “Old Apple Tree,” whose subject presides over a five-way country crossroads. Its angles and perspective, when seen from a distance, lend it the dynamism of a striding figure.

Goodwin’s work departs from landscapes, nodding instead to the Byzantine icon tradition. Such is “Saint Bearing Pear,” a square-format depiction of an unsmiling woman on a cheery red background, in acrylic and oil pastel overlaid on gold acrylic. The “saint” cups a pear in hands that would otherwise be pressed together in prayer. Her flat gold halo, heavily outlined eyes and simple, frontal presentation echo the icon tradition. Yet there’s playfulness in the subject, a sly

VISUAL ART IN SEVEN DAYS:

delicious — doubly so for returning the viewer’s gaze.

Some of these artists’ works will be familiar, having been shown at the gallery until quite recently. These include prints

by Carolyn Shattuck and the cartoonlike oils of Hal Mayforth. In addition to Shattuck’s patterned-print collages, the show includes her “Jazz Modern,” a “flexagon” made from folded, patterned paper that visitors are encouraged to “handle with care.” At first glance, the flexagon appears to be a complex version of the fortune tellers (aka cootie catchers) that children make. But, picked up and manipulated, the paper sculpture transforms itself into different shapes, revealing hidden surfaces with new patterns.

Perhaps the least expected piece in the show is “Untitled” by Tager, the man to thank for Furchgott and Sourdiffe’s meeting and, by extension, their gallery.

A rapidly rendered ink watercolor with Asian-inspired brushwork and a Hebrew signature, the work is an intriguing creation that, like the gallery itself, will stick with you. m

suggestion of the farm-fresh food movement as 21st-century religion.

Similarly, Julie Y Baker Albright’s carefully arranged still lifes seem plucked from another era, recalling the Dutch 17th-century tradition without its typical solemn reminders of mortality. “Lobsters for Two” places the just-boiled creatures side by side at the edge of a table, facing the viewer as if in greeting.

And Walp seems to have channeled Pieter Bruegel the Elder in his rural peasant scenes, particularly “Martin Tusselwasser Returning to His Farm.” In the graphite drawing, Martin looks down on a field of unmistakably 16th-century haystacks, conical with tufted tops.

In “Daucus Carota,” Walp strikes a more contemporary note. The small oil shows a hand pulling out a carrot at soil level. Its bending greens and some distant trees form ripples of a vertical plane, while horizontal bands of threatening rain and clouds balance out the composition.

Alice Murdoch was not aiming for balance in “Swell 2,” a chuckle-inducing portrait in acrylic. Indeed, its disdainful subject, a nattily attired middle-aged man holding a half-empty glass of red wine, slouches against the painting’s right edge; fully half of the painting is an undifferentiated blue. Plus, the top edge of the canvas unceremoniously cuts off this swell’s thinning comb-over. His supercilious sneer is

The exhibition simultaneously presents compelling images of a specific family during a particular moment in urban history, and raises questions about the role of the documentary photographer as related to race, class and concepts of agency.

movies A Bigger Splash ★★★★★

I

s it an oversimplification to say that Europeans make sexy films where Americans make dirty-minded ones? I can’t think of a better argument for the case than Dakota Johnson. Naughtiness has never been more commodified and less erotic than in Fifty Shades of Grey (2015). The same year she starred in that film, the actress played one of the leads in Italian director Luca Guadagnino’s first film since 2009’s I Am Love. And — how do I put this? — cast as a Lolita type, Johnson is a revelation. In every sense of the word.

Nudity is just one of numerous elements that combine to make A Bigger Splash an irresistibly vibrant, sensual, visually sumptuous and, yes, sexy delight. Set on the sundrenched island of Pantelleria, the movie studies the convergence of four fascinating figures in a hideaway so picture-perfect, it could be on another planet. Recuperating from throat surgery in this refuge is worldfamous rock star Marianne Lane (Tilda Swinton). She’s under doctor’s orders not to speak and, except for the occasional whisper, remains silent throughout the film.

That doesn’t hinder an actress of Swinton’s prowess from communicating every emotion under the sun. Literally. Keeping Marianne company is her lover, Paul (Matthias Schoe-

naerts), a documentary filmmaker and recovering alcoholic.

They sunbathe naked, have sex in their private pool, slather each other with mud and bake like amorous cakes. At least until the arrival of two uninvited guests. The shadow of a jet passes over a tanning Marianne, and out of the blue appears Harry, her former producer and significant other. He’s the latest creation of Ralph Fiennes, who appears to have picked up a spell or two from his years in the Harry Potter series. (How many reviews of this flesh-fest, I wonder, will mention those two Harrys in the same paragraph?)

Harry’s a fabulous character, a human whirlwind and walking, talking bacchanal who doesn’t so much disturb the peace that his hosts are enjoying as he turns up the volume on their insular lives. It’s a wonderful performance that’s constantly changing shades. In one of the movie’s best scenes, Harry regales the others with the story of how he helped the Rolling Stones achieve the right sound for Emotional Rescue. He plays the record as he talks and, by the end of the anecdote, is dancing like Jagger and channeling lyrics directly at Marianne: “I will be your knight in shining armor...” Suddenly it’s clear why he’s come.

THE TRIP TO ITALY Johnson plays one of four visitors to a Mediterranean island whose lives become entwined in unexpected ways.

Which isn’t exactly welcome news to Harry’s old drinking buddy, Paul — a development that Johnson’s character, Penny, decides to manipulate for her personal amusement. David Kajganich’s script leaves unclear the exact nature of Penny’s connection to Harry. She met him a year earlier, we’re informed. He could be her father. He could be her lover. An icky suggestion that he could be both lingers, despite Harry’s denials. Boundaries aren’t anyone’s strong suit here.

It’s one freaky four-way about which movie-critic law forbids me revealing more.

I can say that the party takes a dark turn few will see coming, that the filmmaker’s mu-

sical choices range from Harry Nilsson to Popol Vuh and lend the picture a powerful charge, and that frequent collaborator Yorick Le Saux’s camerawork turns every scene into a work of art.

That’s fitting, given that the film’s title comes from one of David Hockney’s erotic pool paintings, a series portraying a leisure class of luxury and desire. Guadagnino leaves a number of central questions unanswered. But, while the Beatles may not be on his soundtrack, his film makes one thing abundantly clear: how it feels to be one of the beautiful people.

The Nice Guys ★★★★

L

os Angeles, 1977. A tween sneaks downstairs to read his dad’s porno mag, featuring a centerfold of screen star Misty Mountains. Outside, headlights flicker as a car veers off the road. Several seconds and many crashes and bangs later, the kid has gotten an absurdist lesson in “Be careful what you wish for.”

Most of this opening set-piece is tangential to the plot of The Nice Guys, but it sets the stage perfectly for an action comedy with hefty dollops of the self-aware and surreal. Director-cowriter Shane Black, best known for scripting Lethal Weapon and directing Iron Man 3, returns with this film to the weirder, hyper-verbal mode of his Hollywood noir pastiche Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (2005). The Nice Guys is his ode to LA, the Me Decade, cheesy crime dramas, conspiracy theories, killer bees and the fun of watching movie stars play bumbling fools instead of acting cool. Happily, Russell Crowe and Ryan Gosling are more than up to the challenge.

The two portray shady private investigators who team up to discover what really happened to the aforementioned Misty Mountains. (The porn star’s grandma believes her apparent demise may have been a ruse.) The problem is, investigating a potential cover-up is way above this pair’s pay grade. Jackson Healy (Crowe) is an amoral bruiser who usually earns his keep doling out intimidation with his fists. Holland March (Gosling) has

FINISHING LAST Gosling and Crowe play two ’70s gumshoes who pretty much define uncool in Black’s clever comedy.

a PI license, a suburban home and a bright 13-year-old daughter (Angourie Rice), yet he’s arguably even less qualified for the job.

Comedy screenwriters too often use lazy shorthand to tell us a character isn’t the sharpest knife in the drawer, as if intelligence were just a matter of knowing stuff. But Black, like all practitioners of smart comedy, understands that stupidity stems from an abiding

and complacent lack of self-awareness. In this sense, Holland is deeply stupid. And Gosling doesn’t hold back in conveying the PI’s incompetence and fatuity, whether he’s taking pratfalls off high places (as happens with surprising regularity) or decrying porn culture with pronouncements like “The days of ladies and gentlemen are over.” He’s a wonderfully conceived character, a tarnished Don Quixote

for the disco era and a hilarious foil for the glowering Healy.

With these two “nice guys” on the case, it’s no great surprise when Holland’s daughter turns out to be the best detective of the bunch. Rice turns in a strong performance that recalls the alarmingly (rather than adorably) precocious kids of ’70s films like Foxes.

Black clearly remembers this as an era when many parents left kids to raise themselves, with mixed results.

Don’t look for deeper messages in The Nice Guys: This is a rambling shaggy-dog story that’s all about the pleasures of nostalgia, silliness, and watching Gosling and Crowe bicker in bad suits. While the film isn’t as tightly edited as a Coen product, there are shades of The Big Lebowski in its narrative, which spins out to outlandish lengths only to culminate in a bit of throwaway irony.

Along the way, numerous tropes of the action genre — from the terrifying hit man with a goofy moniker to the hidden weapon that comes in handy at just the right moment — are trotted out and mocked with the expertise of someone who clearly knows and loves those films. Parody is easy in theory, but it takes skill and insight to turn a pastiche into a story that stands on its own. The Nice Guys ends like a TV pilot, setting up further adventures for the hapless duo — and if it did continue, I’d watch.

Imagine that Colin Farrell is single. Imagine that Colin Farrell lives in a dystopian society where he must find a mate within 45 days or else be transformed into an animal and banished to the wilderness. Yes, this is the plot of an actual movie (though, no, Farrell is not playing himself). The Lobster comes from the strange mind of Greek director Yorgos Lanthimos (Dogtooth), and it won the Jury Prize at Cannes last year. You can see it at Merrill's Roxy Cinemas starting Friday.

KAZ

REAL FREE WILL ASTROLOGY BY ROB BREZSNY JUNE 2-8

may get a chance to spend unprecedented amounts of quality time with the still, small voice at your core — the wise guide that is often drowned out by all the noise.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): We are inclined

Gemini (MAY 21-JUNE 20):

I foresee fertile chaos in your immediate future, Gemini. I predict lucky accidents and smoldering lucidity and disciplined spontaneity. Do you catch the spirit of what I’m suggesting? Your experiences will not be describable by tidy theories.

Your intentions will not fit into neat categories. You will be a vivid embodiment of sweet paradoxes and crazy wisdom and confusing clarity. Simple souls may try to tone you down, but I hope you will evade their pressure as you explore the elegant contradictions you encounter. Love your life exactly as it is! Methodical improvisations will be your specialty. Giving gifts that are both selfish and unselfish will be one of your best tricks. “Healing extremes” will be your code phrase of power.

CANCER

(June 21-July 22): According to many sources on the internet, “werifesteria” is an obscure word from Old English. But my research suggests it was in fact dreamed up within the last few years by a playful hoaxster.

Regardless of its origins, I think it’s an apt prescription to fix what’s bugging you. Here’s the definition: “to wander longingly through the forest in search of mystery and adventure.”

If you are not currently seeking out at least a metaphorical version of that state, I think you should be. Now is an excellent time to reap the catalytic benefits of being willingly lost in a wild, idyllic, relaxing setting.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): I’m debating about

which of your astrological houses will be your featured hot spot in the coming days. I’m guessing it will come down to two options: your House of Valid Greed and your House of Obligatory Sharing. The House of Valid Greed has a good chance to predominate, with its lush feasts and its expansive moods. But the House of Obligatory Sharing has an austere beauty that makes it a strong possibility as well. Now here’s the trick ending, Leo: I’d like to see if you can emphasize both houses equally; I hope you’ll try to inhabit them both at the same time. Together they will grant you a power that neither could bestow alone.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Between now and July 25, there’s a chance you will reach

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “My mother gave birth to me once, yeah yeah yeah,” writes author Sara Levine. “But I’ve redone myself a million times.” I’m sure she is not demeaning her mom’s hard work, but rather celebrating her own. When’s the last time you gave birth to a fresh version of yourself? From where I stand, it looks like the next 12 to 15 months will be one of those fertile phases of reinvention. And right now is an excellent time to get a lightning-flash glimpse of what the new you might look like.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Author Rebecca Solnit offers some tough advice that I think you could use. “Pain serves a purpose,” she says. “Without it you are in danger. What you cannot feel you cannot take care of.” With that in mind, Scorpio, I urge you to take full advantage of the suffering you’re experiencing. Treat it as a gift that will motivate you to transform the situation that’s causing you to hurt. Honor it as a blessing you can use to rise above the mediocre or abusive circumstances you have been tolerating.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Aphorist James Guida contemplates the good results that can come from not imposing expectations on the raw reality that’s on its way. “Not to count chickens before they’re hatched,” he muses, “or eggs before they’re laid, chickens who might possibly lay eggs, birds who from afar might be confused with chickens.” I recommend this strategy for you in the coming weeks, Sagittarius. Experiment with the pleasure of being wide open to surprises. Cultivate a mood of welcoming one-of-a-kind people,

things and events. Be so empty you have ample room to accommodate an influx of new dispensations. As James Guida concludes: “Not to count or think of chickens.”

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “No gift is ever exactly right for me,” mourns Capricorn poet James Richardson. Don’t you dare be like him in the coming days. Do whatever you must to ensure that you receive at least one gift that’s exactly right for you. Two gifts would be better; three sublime. Here’s another thought from Richardson: “Success repeats itself until it is a failure.” Don’t you dare illustrate that theory. Either instigate changes in the way you’ve been achieving success or else initiate an entirely new way. Here’s one more tip from Richardson: “Those who demand consideration for their sacrifices were making investments, not sacrifices.” Don’t you dare be guilty of that sin. Make sacrifices, not investments. If you do, your sacrifices will ultimately turn out to be good investments.

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Life will invite you to explore the archetype of the Ethical Interloper in the coming days. The archetype of the Helpful Transgressor may tempt you, as well, and even the Congenial Meddler or the Compassionate Trickster might look appealing. I urge you to consider experimenting with all of these. It will probably be both fun and productive to break taboos in friendly ways. You could reconnoiter forbidden areas without freaking anyone out or causing a troublesome ruckus. If you’re sufficiently polite and kind in expressing your subversive intentions, you might leave a trail of good deeds in your wake.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20): Your theme comes from the title of a poem by Fortesa Latifi: “I Am Still Learning How to Do the Easy Things.” During the next phase of your astrological cycle, I invite you to specialize in this study. You may imagine that you are already a master of the simple, obvious arts of life, but here’s the news: Few of us are. And the coming weeks will be a favorable time for you to refine your practice. Here’s a good place to start: Eat when you’re hungry, sleep when you’re tired and give love when you’re lonely.

SEVENDAYSVT.COM

ARIES (March 21-April 19): The voices in our heads are our constant companions. They fill our inner sanctuary with streams of manic commentary. Often we’re not fully cognizant of the bedlam, since the outer world dominates our focus. But as soon as we close our eyes and turn our attention inward, we’re immersed in the jabbering babble. That’s the bad news, Aries. Now here’s the good news. In the coming weeks you will have far more power than usual to ignore, dodge or even tamp down the jabbering babble. As a result, you

to believe that the best way to see the whole picture or the complete story is from above.

The eagle that soars overhead can survey a vast terrain in one long gaze. The mountaintop perspective affords a sweeping look at a vast landscape. But sometimes this perspective isn’t perfectly useful. What we most need to see may be right next to us, or nearby, and it’s only visible if our vision is narrowly focused. Here’s how poet Charles Bernstein expresses it: “What’s missing from the bird’s eye view is plain to see on the ground.” Use this clue in the coming weeks.

the peak of a seemingly unclimbable mountain. You could win a privilege that neither you nor anyone else ever dreamed was within your reach. It’s possible you’ll achieve a milestone you’ve been secretly preparing for since childhood. Think I’m exaggerating, Virgo? I’m not. You could break a record for the biggest or best or fastest, or you might finally sneak past an obstacle that has cast a shadow over your self-image for years. And even if none of these exact events comes to pass, the odds are excellent that you will accomplish another unlikely or monumental feat. Congratulations in advance!

LOOKING FOR HAPPINESS I have a huge heart, and I am looking to share it with someone. I would love to find someone honest and loyal.

Hoping to eventually find someone to complete me. I am educated and have a great job. I do not need a man in my life. I want a man in my life. Huge difference. Happiness2016, 52, l ADVENTUROUS, PASSIONATE, GENUINE Those are three of the words friends came up with when I asked what to write here. Other words were intelligent, funny, loving, great cook, strong, flexible, sensual, dependable. Venturing back out into the dating scene. Curious who is out there. Like to hike, bike, do yoga, see a show (music or theater)? Let’s meet and see where it goes! Tavi40, 48, l

YOUNG HEART, OLD SOUL Seeker of truth and wild bounty. Nature is my temple. Always open to wander, climb, river dip and explore, after the garden is watered, of course. Seeking an honest connection in the present with an open heart to fearless love in the future. SuenoDeLaTierra, 25 FUN TIMES REQUIRE GOOD COMPANY Hoping to meet a like-minded, goofy, adventurous, intelligent man to enjoy good times with. Are you someone in the area who enjoys spending free time outdoors recreating? I have a deep appreciation for the natural world and enjoy being in the woods, by the water. I also enjoy going out to listen to live music and experience art and culture. Magnolia77, 39, l YOUR EXTRA TIME AND YOUR KISS I’m a study in contradictions, but that’s just because I recognize that the world is complicated. I am fun-loving, ever-observing, empathetic, exuberant, opinionated, willful, giving, and equal parts analytical and spontaneous.

It would all taste better shared, we both know it’s true. Trade-offs and all! We’re all package deals, right? A good fit would result in us laughing through any weather. Kindred, 49, l CREATIVE SOUL LOOKING FOR FUN I’m sweet, creative, sensitive and passionate. I’m looking for the same.

I love to dance the night away and travel, but I also need down time snuggled up with a book or movie.

Ultimately, I’m looking for a deep thinker who is a bit crazy, with a passionate, creative soul and a sense of humor. Make me laugh. Mia, 39 CARING, ADVENTUROUS, SPONTANEOUS I am looking to meet new friends and see where it goes. A patient person willing to get to know me. I am a single mom, so my time is very limited. I love to try new things and get outdoors, enjoying nature. I have my bachelor’s, but I am currently enrolled back in college pursuing my dream, photography. vtmamaof3, 40, l WANT A SANDWICH? What the hell are we all here for?

Let’s be adults, let’s communicate, let’s be real, let’s have a drink. I’ll take cheap whiskey; you can keep the Champagne. Maybe a walk with the dogs? You have one, right? I have two.

I work to live. And live to enjoy. We’re all searching for something. What do you need? Simplethyngs, 33, l MAKING SUNSHINE IN THE RAIN I’ve lived my life backward, had a career, buried my parents, then had children.

What matters to me is not what we have (not the stuff of life) but how we love and are loved. I like touch. The hand of fabric, buttons on a shirt, the feel of skin against skin. I want someone to enjoy life’s journey together. Allegretto, 56

LOVE, KINDNESS AND COMPASSION My friends say that my smile is catching and so is my energy. I’d describe myself as a kind, respectful, loving, caring, considerable, honest and self-confident person. I like to be in harmony with the world around me. I like to read a lot and keep up with many things — politics, social issues, culture, nature, travels, art, history, people. Alenkiy, 62, l LIGHTHEARTED MIDDLEBURY WOMAN Honest, caring, funny, lighthearted woman seeks guy who enjoys the simple things in life. On my bucket list is to build a stone wall and see the Grand Canyon. I enjoy gardening, hiking, cooking, general outdoor stuff. Have similar interests? Do you have a faith that guides you when you forget to ask for guidance? Let’s keep it simple. Lovetohike, 62, l FUN, LOW-KEY OPTIMIST I’m a study in contrasts, like most of us. I’m outgoing but reserved. I love to laugh but am serious about things I hold dear. I love to spend time out but enjoy quiet time at home. I find value in small moments: people watching, hiking, time with friends, dinner and a movie. I’m relaxed and down-to-earth.

What about you? Laugheveryday, 56, l ALIVE AND KICKING Youth is wasted on the young. I’m at a point in my life where I am comfortable in my own skin. I’m sarcastic and smart, and my energy level can be through the roof. Don’t be afraid, LOL. Are we like-minded enough to visit brewpubs, hike trails or find a lake, laying like broccoli in the heat? ToolFan, 45, l ENERGETIC, CURIOUS AND THOUGHTFUL I’m into being active, socializing, good food and new experiences. I’m seeking a like-minded, good-natured guy to share quality times with. I am passionate about my outdoor adventures, my children and my work in child nutrition, especially the times I get to spend teaching kids to play with their food. What are you passionate about? bekaleful, 47, l MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE I have two creative and wonderful adult children, a fulfilling career in human services, many good friends and a variety of interests. Healthy living, a comfortable home, activity outdoors and doing what I can to make the world a better place are important to me. I have good reason to be content, but I long for passion and connection. Elkay, 61, l DAY AVENTURER HOME BY DUSK I am looking for a man who is already personally and financially successful.

That means you have a stable job and no excessive debt. You must be emotionally sound and have a positive outlook on life. Friends turn to you in times of stress because your advice rocks. Healthy habits and lifestyle choices. TinyGrassIsDreaming, 44, l

LET’S ENJOY THE TIME I do not like baggage. The quicker you move on, the better. Like to do what comes naturally. Being retired and healthy means there is a long road ahead for much fun. I do not look my age, so it all works out just fine. My days are spent exercising, meditating, playing saxophone and waiting for you to show up to complete the mission. Wonder12612, 65 EMPATHETIC, CREATIVE, ABLE-BODIED Me: willingness to engage. Capable of listening. Love to play, act, hike, watch movies (home and theater), walk, run, have good food and wine.

Family matters, work is important, children are the first priority, but there’s more of me available to be a loving partner. GuyVT, 44, l LAKE LOVER I have two lovely children who check in on me all the time — one in Vermont, one in Nebraska. Am retired in law enforcement and public safety in a local college. I enjoy hiking, kayaking on the big lake, evenings spent by the fire pit watching the sun set. I am content but long for connection.

Septembersongflyrod, 72 SO MUCH OLDER THEN...

In the final stages of emerging from a state of arrested development, I am open to change with abandon.

My life is in order, and I’m ready for the final surprise, so I would savor the opportunity to share my embarrassment of riches, materially, spiritually, emotionally and sexually, open to the considered suggestion of a soulful lady. Skyfall, 64, l LOVE ADVENTURE AND SHARING IT I am a lot of fun. People enjoy being around me. I have a great sense of humor and a love for living life to the fullest. I am very young in spirit and looks. I have enjoyed sailing, flying planes, traveling the country, camping and road trips, and I’m up for just about any adventure. 78yorktown, 62, l LOOKING FOR SOMETHING LONG-TERM Let’s have dinner and drinks and talk about music and the outdoors and home agriculture and animal husbandry. ducksandchickens, 40, l A SENSE OF WONDER Me: intelligent, honest, funny, adventurous, soft-spoken, enigmatic lover of nature and culture, playful traveler, practical dreamer. You: smart, real, honest, independent, open-minded, mostly sane. Let’s meet for some interesting conversation or silence, long walks, random adventures and who knows what else? mistercongeniality, 50 HEY YOU, READ THIS! I’m your typical sarcastic pessimist from Massachusetts. Enjoy punk rock and politics, among other things.

Also the gym and GoT. Looking for a Pabst Blue Ribbon and someone to drink it with. MiloGoesToVT, 27 HONEST, LOVABLE GUY WANTING LOVE Looking to meet someone who can bring excitement to my life. I’m a kind, honest guy who has morals. I believe in fate, and if something is meant to be, it will happen. I am very wise due to the fact I was raised by

my grandmother, and family means everything to me. Love the Green Mountain State. :) Nicolli419, 27 GROOVY MAN Nature, organic food, good beer and good times. Love music, friends, family, animals and traveling. stellhor86, 29 NEW TO TOWN Do you have a hard time finding intelligent, respectful gentlemen who share your adventurous spirit? I’m a recently relocated Vermonter who is respectful, caring and down-to-earth in public. I can be more dominant in private. Chemistry and a great connection are what I seek. I love the outdoors, and I’d love to meet an outgoing, intelligent, passionate woman. kinderedspirit, 47 OPEN-MINDED WORLD TRAVELER Easygoing guy looking for a kind and opened-hearted woman for friendship, casual dating. I am a community development/human rights activist in central Vermont.

Ideally, you would be knowledgeable about social justice issues, human rights and world events. Having an inquisitive, easygoing personality, appreciation for music and good sense of humor is a plus. Wtraveler1, 52, l INTERESTED IN A POLY/SWINGING RELATIONSHIP Attractive, fit, dominant male searching for a submissive female who is interested in a poly/swinging lifestyle to explore together. Couples and singles dating, lifestyle parties, and clubs. Any age (over 21) and level of experience is welcome. Looking for a woman of average body type and a nonsmoker, but 420 friendly. letsdothis1, 58 SIMPLE MAN I would rather browse and reply to ads than create my own, but I am just glad to be out of my last relationship/marriage and want to start over. Bantam118, 59, l PASSIONATE, FUN MOUNTAIN BIKER Passionate, fun and grounded guy who loves to be outside in any season searching for a partner in crime.

Be active during the day and enjoy a great dinner out with playful yet enticing conversation after. I can wear a suit all day and flip-flops on the drive home and slip right into my cycling shoes. a29rider, 46, l PASSIONATE ABOUT LIFE I love the outdoors, dark skies and rural world. I am time-strapped, though — a busy professional with a full-time job with long hours and a second job, too.

But I want to embrace life outside of work with the same passion I give work. Beyond that, I will just say that touch is the most important of the five senses. hiandlowvt, 54, l PICK ME Fun, loyal, loving, caring, interesting, funny. Shy but outgoing. Ready to get back on the market. Love home dates: cooking, cuddling and sex. Please-orbe-pleased kinda guy. Hardworking.

Love the outdoors and fishing. Um, pretty much, please pick me. You won’t regret it. Vtboy69, 26, l UNPREDICTABLE Willing to give this an honest try. I like being around people who like to try new things and explore the world. Life is too short to sit and have it pass you by. Linus, 43, l

Dating While Grieving

Dear Dating While Grieving,

First, I want to say how sorry I am for your loss. The death of a partner by any means, let alone suicide, is tragic and heartbreaking. I hope you have a solid support system that can provide you with love and guidance when your heart is heavy.

But despite the tragedy, you are putting yourself out there and connecting with people, and that’s good. It is not easy, and I applaud both your vulnerability and your sense of self-preservation.

I can understand that you don’t want to scare off your date by telling your story. And you don’t need to do that right away. But don’t keep it to yourself too much longer. When you meet someone new, you both want to get to know each other better, and it’s important to be authentic. You happen to be someone who experienced a great loss, and you are grieving. But, as you say, you are also open and eager. You are essentially the same person you were before your former partner’s death; you still have the same interests, hobbies and experiences. There’s a lot of you to share.

Still, this significant life moment has shaped you, and there is no reason to keep it from someone you care about. If this person returns your feelings, they will want to know.

And, by the way, your new date has also experienced a loss: divorce. Amicable or not, that is a significant life change. So you and your new friend have some common ground, even if the circumstances are different. I’ll bet they will have the compassion and maturity to manage your story, just as you will sympathize with theirs.

Grief is hard; there are good days and bad days. But you will not be sad forever. Here’s what I think: Life has thrown down a challenge, but in meeting a new person, you both have opened a new door. That means an opportunity to grow and evolve together with a greater perspective than you had before the experiences of loss.

Don’t be afraid. Just be honest. Be your best self, navigating the world with fresh eyes and an open heart.

Yours,

Athena

SIZZLEOUI I am looking for a woman who enjoys sex. Wants to wear my dried cum on her chest while working or shopping.

Wants her smell on my face as I greet the day with a smile. Open to explore and need a tongue to go everywhere!

Size and age not important, but attitude and passion are! dyad, 41, l

My last partner died tragically six months ago, and I am beginning to date again. I am finding it really difficult to figure out the best way to disclose the circumstances under which my last relationship ended; losing my first significant relationship in that way is no doubt a chip on my shoulder.

It’s impacted me as a person and caused me a tremendous amount of hurt. I met someone recently who I’m excited about. But I’m afraid of scaring them away. They are newly divorced, although under amicable terms. I’m terrified of a new partner being unable to cope with the confusing feelings my former partner’s suicide left me with. How can I help them (and anyone else in my future) understand that my heart is open even though I am still grieving?

SUPERHEROINE OF BAYSIDE PARK To the young woman who asked me if it was OK if she used the playground as her “free gym” while my son also played: You are inspiring and amazing! Wish I had a pound of your motivation!

Made a profile just to place this ad. Won’t be checking for replies; just wanted to compliment your perseverance and its reward. When: Wednesday, May 25, 2016. Where: Bayside Park, Colchester. You: Woman. Me: Man. #913500 NOT YOUR SISTER’S UBER She canceled. But you were sweet and cute, and your payment was generous, along with your Mountain Dew-loving friend’s tip. I remember your address like you told me to, but I’m not the kind of girl who shows up on a doorstep. If you’re interested in your redheaded Uber driver, she’d be interested in a date. When: Friday, May 20, 2016. Where: in my Uber car. You: Man. Me: Woman. #913499 RED T-SHIRT, DICK’S SPORTING GOODS Couldn’t help but notice you in a red T-shirt and jeans with wavy brown hair, shopping with another girl around 7:30.

GREEN UP DAY COLCHESTER My son and I parked on our road but someone else’s “property.” They called the police, and you showed up as we were finishing our good deed to let us know we were fine.

Me: Woman. #913491 MILTON HANNAFORD, WOMAN IN BLACK Friday afternoon, 4 p.m.-ish. You: black top and black skirt. Me: gray T-shirt, tan shorts.

When: Friday, May 20, 2016. Where: Hannaford, Milton. You: Woman. Me: Man. #913490 THURSDAY MORNING TENNIS IN SB You two: seasoned, relaxed players. Us girls: gawky, stray-ball generators. Afterward, you asked if I was someone from the distant past. Nope, but I didn’t give you my name (which is Andrea).

Coffee or a walk sometime? Or maybe you’re a very patient tennis coach? When: Thursday, May 19, 2016. Where: Szymanski Park, South Burlington. You: Man. Me: Woman. #913489 WANT SOME IRISH IN ME Just when I thought my day couldn’t get any better, your quick-witted banter threw my heart in a tailspin. Between your tall, athletic physique, gorgeous ginger hair and bright smile, I had a hard time taking my eyes off of you — black is definitely your color. Maybe we can get together sometime and see how else you can serve me. When: Saturday, May 14, 2016. Where: the Farmhouse Tap & Grill. You: Man. Me: Woman. #913488 LOWE’S SUNDAY, MAY 15, 3 P.M.

Where: L.L.Bean. You: Man. Me: Woman. #913486 WORK CRUSH I’m new at work, and I know we haven’t even talked more than five or so times, but I have a terrible little crush on you. Which probably means it’s never gonna happen, but who knows. I think you’re mad cute and fun to talk to. Hint: There are two of me. When: Thursday, May 12, 2016. Where: on the farm. You: Man.

So glad I had the gall to give you my number and you had the audacity to call back! When: Thursday, May 5, 2016. Where: Shelburne Road. You: Woman. Me: Man. #913481 BEST OF LUCK IN COLORADO You are one of the most amazing girls I have ever met. I hope your journey to Colorado gives you what you’re looking for. Your beauty is unquestioned, and your personality and intelligence are what every guy wants. You are, without question, one of the best catches I have ever met. When: Tuesday, May 3, 2016. Where: everywhere. You: Woman. Me: Man. #913480 SEXY PLATINUM-AND-PEPPER PONYTAIL AND GOATEE Central Vermont Shadow Spirit rider: Damn if I’m not watching every time I see a motorcycle.
