Voters in Grafton and Windham rejected a proposed turbine project, and Phil Scott was elected gov. Solar panels, anyone?

Here’s a tail of dogged determination. Jackie Stone was driving to Newington, Conn., after closing down her vacation home in Sutton last week when she fell asleep and veered off the road. “˜ e next thing I know, there are trees and rocks in front of me,” she recounted. Although she wasn’t hurt badly in the crash, her 10-month-old puppy, Maxwell, dashed off into the woods. “So many people stopped on the road to help find him,” she says, including one woman who searched for two days. A state trooper returned to the crash scene the following day and found the tuckered-out pooch. “We were very, very lucky,” a relieved Stone said. “It’s a good lesson: Never give up hope.”

SEX TRAFFICKING DOESN’T PAY

A federal judge in Burlington sentenced Diheim Young, 32, of Brooklyn, N.Y., to 12 years in prison for engaging in years of sex and drug trafficking in the Rutland area.

Authorities say that between 2012 and 2015, Young used at least five women as drug mules to transport heroin and crack cocaine between New York City and Rutland.

He got them hooked on the drugs and used their addiction as a way to force them into prostitution. Prosecutors say that Young confiscated the women’s cellphones and IDs and held them captive in a Brooklyn apartment. ˜ e deviant drug dealer would sexually and physically assault the women if they tried to escape or refused to engage in commercial sex acts.

Saturday marked the opening of Vermont’s 16-day deer rifle hunting season — but by 10 a.m. Sunday, two of the casualties were human. ˜ e first, Patrick Dixon, 47, of West Chazy, N.Y., shot himself in the foot at about 6:50 a.m. while hunting with family and friends in Vershire, Vermont State Police said. ˜ en, at approximately 10 the same morning, an unidentified 15-year-old hunter stood up from a stump he was sitting on, fumbled his rifle and also shot himself in the foot. Only one such shooting happened during all of last season. “We don’t call them ‘accidents’ anymore,” noted Mark Scott, director of wildlife at the Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department.

“Usually when we do our investigation, it’s carelessness, negligence or just making a bad decision …

Almost every incident can be prevented.”

At the University of Vermont, Hayley Wheelwright explained, “We were kind of too young to really grasp 9/11 and what it meant for the country, and now we’re faced with a similar situation of just feeling really lost.”

Isaac Lee, a freshman from Essex, stood outside the Bailey/Howe Library with a handmade sign that read: “Stand Together Love Will Prevail.”

Vermonters demonstrated in Burlington City Hall Park last Friday, with some 200 people chanting, “Love trumps hate!” ˜ at same day, Khan was at the Islamic Society of Vermont in Colchester, musing about fruits and nuts sent there by well-wishers.

Farhad Khan’s 8-year-old daughter posed a tough question the morning after Americans elected Donald Trump to be the next U.S. president: “Dad, now what?” she asked.

“I gave her a hug and assured her that it’s going to be OK,” said Khan, president of the Islamic Society of Vermont.

“We’ve been through this before.”

Our reporters headed into the community after the presidential election to interview students, Muslims, immigrants, migrant activists, feminists and other Vermonters who might be feeling insecure about living in a Trump-led country.

Rita Neopaney, a Bhutanese woman who works at the Association of Africans Living in Vermont, told a reporter that clients there were confused and fearful. ˜ e day before, Neopaney had excitedly recounted to Seven Days how thrilled she had been to cast her first vote in an American election.

FEEDback READER REACTION TO RECENT ARTICLES

BETTER WITH BERNIE

[Re Off Message: “Sanders Breaks His Silence on Trump’s Election,” November 9]: I had hoped for “revolutionary” change as much as white, male, unemployed coal miner from West Virginia. Thanks to blind support for Hillary Clinton, we have elected a racist and demagogue. We had another option in Sen. Bernie Sanders — a man I’ve watched for more than 30 years, who is honest as the day is long and has not changed his positions based on what folks want to hear.

Elitists like Sen. Patrick Leahy supported Clinton (and the whole malodorous Clinton and Democratic National Committee machine) before Bernie even announced his campaign for president.

Bernie received 86 percent of the primary vote in Vermont; so much for representative democracy. The DNC and Clinton machine railroaded Bernie. Leahy has been in office far too long; our founding fathers never imagined or encouraged career politicians. Senator, it is time for you to beat it on down the line.

Others, like former governor Madeleine Kunin, supported Clinton for primarily one reason: She is a female. How will president-elect Donald Trump empower women? Kunin’s efforts helped elect Trump.

Time for Democrats and the DNC to take the high road and work with the elected Republican leadership, just like

TIM NEWCOMB

they wanted the Republicans to work with President Barack Obama.

Kunin and Leahy: Respectfully, please heed the advice of a recent Nobel Prize winner: Your old road is Rapidly agin’.

Please get out of the new one If you can’t lend your hand For the times they are a-changin’ Stephen Znamierowski

REMEMBER MEMORIAL!

[Re “Moran on Main? Officials Seek Solutions for Memorial Auditorium,” September 21; Soundbites: “242 Main Announces Last Show,” October 19]: With 242 Main, a national landmark, Burlington has something unique and purposeful for its younger citizens to benefit from as they learn important lessons about being self-confident, having a voice, recognizing they’re part of a community and participating in art. It’s a rare and necessary resource for youth, many coming from backgrounds that make 242 a critically important positive formative experience.

As a city, we can stand up to say we value that.

The future of Memorial Auditorium is a blank book. No plan exists yet to repair, replace or redevelop it. It’s an opportunity for us all to choose — as a community — to combine many of our social and economic

MATTHEW THORSEN

WEEK IN REVIEW

I am perplexed by our portrayal. I certainly support people finding spiritual fulfillment where they will, as long as it does no harm to others. There is room for all types of Judaism in this town, but if we are pitted against one another or offhandedly disparaged, harm will certainly be the result.

Memorial Auditorium

needs and work together to achieve them in a place that shines with the diversity and creative perseverance we’re capable of. We have the chance to choose to value art, our youth and our place in history enough to include them while we expand commerce, housing and revenue through the redevelopment of Memorial.

There’s no reason we would choose not to, beyond preferring expediency over our deeply felt community values that have improved the lives of Burlington kids for 30 years.

All we have to do — as voters, parents, young adults, engaged citizens — is to want to preserve a cinder-block hall with more historic and cultural relevancy than anything else Burlington has built in the last 30 years.

FEEDBACK 7

Two Mondays ago began the Jewish holiday of Simhath Torah, and I found myself with my family, surrounded by friends, singing and dancing with the Torah — the scroll of the first five books of the Old Testament — accompanied by an accordionist and kids playing every percussion instrument known to humankind. My children were fascinated as Rabbi Amy pointed out various “highlights” of Jewish history in the unfurled Torah scroll which stretched around the room, supported by loving hands, young and old. This was just one evening in the life of Ohavi Zedek synagogue, which has been my spiritual home for 16 years.

In Molly Walsh’s article “Jewish Genesis: A New Congregation Is Born in Burlington” [October 26], I struggled to recognize my congregation. While it was clearly Walsh’s goal to profile a new congregation, it came across more as a “compare and contrast” between the old and the new. (As many times as Ohavi Zedek was referenced, no one there was contacted for the article.) As I read, I imagined other readers inferring that Ohavi Zedek is socially regressive, stodgy or irrelevant. I think of my progressive friends, my innovative rabbi, my diverse and dynamic synagogue community, and

NOVEMBER 16-23, 2016 VOL.22 NO.10

If you’re feeling that our bubble just cracked, know this: Vermonters are good with duct tape.

Seriously, life goes on, and so do we. Meantime, our annual Winter Preview Issue reminds us that the season brings cheer as well as chill. We find plenty of WALL-CLIMBING fun at the Stowe Adventure Center and tell you when, where and why to watch the women’s alpine WORLD CUP at Killington this month. We meet the man who DRIVES THE SLEIGH at Shelburne Farms and the guy who invented a FAT-BIKE SKI. Finally, we check in with FORECASTERS to see if the sky will let it snow, let it snow, let it snow. Let’s go play, everybody.

Why Many Northeast Kingdom Voters Chose Trump B Y M A R K D AV I S

DON WHIPPLE

T

he regulars in the tiny dining room attached to Bob’s Quick Stop in Irasburg said that Bernard Peters was the best person to explain how Donald Trump won the presidency. Aside from his time fighting in the Vietnam War, Peters, 70, has always lived in Albany or adjacent Irasburg. He is proud that his education occurred entirely in a one-room schoolhouse through the eighth grade.

Peters keeps a close eye on politics — local and national — and believed his vote for Trump was going to help his hometown.

“I keep hearing on TV, ‘The uneducated people are for Trump,’” said Peters, who sported a low-sitting baseball cap and a bushy gray beard last Thursday at Bob’s. He had just bought scratch-off tickets and coffee at the register. “Are you saying only smart people voted for Hillary, and people who voted for Trump are idiots? Anything Trump said, they said he didn’t know what he was talking about. And all of it came true.”

On Election Day, 56 percent of Vermont voters chose Hillary Clinton to be their next president, and the Green Mountain State was the first the Associated Press called for her — just before the polls closed.

Thirty percent voted for Trump. He won in clusters of towns in northern Franklin County, central Rutland County and around Barre. Vermont’s most ardent Trump-loving town was tiny Searsburg, near the Massachusetts border, which gave him 61 percent of its vote.

But the biggest swath of red on Vermont’s postelection map was exactly where anyone who follows Vermont politics would have guessed: in Essex, Caledonia and Orleans counties, the storied Northeast Kingdom in Vermont’s top right-hand corner.

In the days after Trump’s victory, Seven Days spoke with supporters and opponents alike to find out why he was popular there. Their answers were as varied and contradictory as Trump’s statements have been during the past year.

“The people in Chittenden County don’t think the same way we do,” Peters said. “There’s a lot more money down there. They’re not used to doing things the way we grew up. Their idea of not a lot of money is $70,000. They don’t know what struggle is. I think that’s what happened. People have had it.”

He continued: “Even though he’s a

POLITICS billionaire, Trump could relate to the working person. He didn’t struggle himself, but probably he knows what it’s like.”

The story of the NEK’s economic decline has almost become a cliché: mills and factories shuttered, dairy farms consolidated, talented young people who flee at the first chance.

While in the rest of Vermont, residents fought against Walmart, those in the NEK welcomed the superstore with open arms.

Locals eagerly remind visitors that the Kingdom is home to communities that didn’t get electricity until the early ’60s.

Historically, the region has suffered the highest unemployment and the lowest population growth in Vermont.

The state’s unemployment rate is 3.4 percent. It’s 4.8 percent in Orleans County, 5.4 percent in Essex County and 4.1 percent in Caledonia County.

Bernard Peters

For many, the explanation for the NEK’s preference for Trump starts here.

“It’s partly a vote of desperation,” said Irasburg novelist Howard Frank Mosher, the Kingdom’s foremost chronicler and a fierce Trump opponent. “The great problem we are facing and have been for decades is unemployment and underemployment. People are desperate and feel almost any change has got to be an improvement. I also think people in the Kingdom are notoriously independent-minded, and they pride themselves, almost to the point of selfdelusion, on that. The idea of a candidate who had none of the establishment support delighted them.”

Good job opportunities are few and far between: There’s North Country Hospital in Newport and some state government work. The Ethan Allen furniture manufacturing plant in Orleans is holding on, though it doesn’t employ nearly as many as it once did. For many locals, options are

limited to logging or working on one of the remaining dairy farms or, as some interviewed said, getting assistance through programs such as Social Security Disability Insurance.

But while many lament the economic conditions, Bob’s Quick Stop is coming off a very good year, according to longtime employee Holly Lefebvre.

Like most of her customers, Lefebvre is an ardent Trump supporter who felt that he would be good for the region.

“Everybody is very happy about it, because Donald Trump is more for our people instead of helping everybody else,” said the thirtysomething cashier.

But Lefebvre’s view of the Kingdom’s economy is more positive than Mosher’s.

She pointed out that in nearby Derby, the Walmart has been searching for employees for months.

“It’s not that there’s not work here; it’s that many people don’t want to work. I know kids who get out of high school with food stamps.” She

Growing Pains: Burlington Progressives Clash Over Development B Y ALI CI A FR EESE

SEVENDAYSVT.COM 11.16.16-11.23.16 SEVEN DAYS 16 LOCAL MATTERS

TIM NEWCOMB

T

ed Wimpey left Athens, Ga., for Burlington, Vt., in the late 1980s because the city’s socialist mayor, Bernie Sanders, intrigued him. He quickly fell in with a nascent political party called the Progressives.

Nearly three decades later, Wimpey announced that he was severing ties with the group. “I now categorically reject and deny an[y] such association. I am an independent progressive pure and simple,” he wrote in a brief Facebook post earlier this month.

His decision is especially surprising because his wife is the highest-ranking Progressive official in Burlington — city council President Jane Knodell.

Wimpey, who works as a housing advocate, later explained to Facebook friends: “The effectively anti-development position of the Party with regard to the Burlington Town Center development is the final straw for me.”

Progressives were divided in the heated, preelection debate over how to redevelop Burlington’s outmoded mall.

Knodell, former Burlington mayor Peter Clavelle and former city councilor Brian Pine actively encouraged local residents to pass two ballot items that clear the way for developer Don Sinex to build up to 14 stories and for the city to restore two streets and improve others using $21.8 million in tax increment financing.

Last Tuesday, a majority of Burlington voters agreed with them — but it wasn’t a landslide.

Opponents, including the leader of the local party chapter, have signaled they won’t give up trying to stop the project. It’s been a months-long battle. In August, Burlington Progressives issued a blistering statement that listed 22 grievances against it. Titled “Burlington Is Still Not for Sale,” it accused the city of ignoring public input and caving to the developer’s demands.

Burlington Progressive Party chair Charles Winkleman later appeared in a newspaper ad against the project, paid for by the Coalition for a Livable City, a network of activists that has led the opposition movement.

Progressive Councilor Max Tracy tried unsuccessfully to pass an amendment that would require Sinex to make 25 percent of the project’s housing affordable — 5 percent more than

required. That other Progressives were willing to accept anything less has “been a real disappointment to me,” he said.

Tracy suggested there’s a “generational” component to the divide on this particular issue between old-guard pro-growth Progs from the Clavelle era and newer recruits such as himself, Winkleman and Burlington City Councilor Selene Colburn “who have been, for the most part, opposed.”

Colburn voted against the zoning change and in favor of the TIF request.

Sara Giannoni voted for both ballot items but also expressed concern about insufficient affordable housing.

One exception to Tracy’s theory is Steve Goodkind, who came to work for Sanders in 1981 and ran for mayor on the Progressive ticket last year. A loud voice for the Coalition for a Livable City, the former public works director has criticized the scale and design of the mall project and suggested the increase in downtown office space would have a detrimental environmental effect by bringing more commuters into the city.

Although Knodell endorsed Goodkind when he ran for mayor, now she’s supporting the efforts of Mayor Miro Weinberger and Democratic councilors.

“I think people within the Progressive Party agree on the … importance of

addressing income inequality and making sure we have an economy that works for everyone, but what this project is flushing out is, we have different views on how to get there,” said Knodell. “As a Progressive, I’ve tried to make the case to other Progressives that this project is good for working people because of the permanent affordable housing and also because of the construction … and other jobs.”

Sinex plans to build 274 housing units. Burlington’s zoning ordinance requires 20 percent, or about 55 units, to be affordable. At the city’s request, he’s agreed to pay construction workers a livable wage, although no similar guarantee applies to any permanent positions associated with the development.

Knodell said she voted against Tracy’s amendment to raise the requirement to 25 percent because she was concerned it would kill the project and no new affordable units would be built. Allowing the project to go forward will spur economic activity and expand the city’s tax base, benefiting all residents, she argued.

Pine, a former Progressive city councilor and former housing director for Burlington’s Community & Economic Development Office, said increasing the housing supply should help reduce real estate costs across the income spectrum.

Clavelle, who recently returned to

Burlington after a five-year stint abroad in Albania, made the case that dense downtown development is more in line with the party’s commitment to protecting the environment. “Growth and development in the city makes much more sense than developing the cornfields and cow pastures,” he said, adding that, “Some of us feel that development that is sustainable is in everybody’s interests.”

This is not the first time Progressives have clashed over growth. “When it comes to development issues, Progressives have never spoken with one voice,” said Pine.

When Sanders was mayor, he supported the infamous Alden Plan — which would have put condos and a hotel on the waterfront — to the dismay of some Burlington lefties. The plan failed in a 1985 citywide vote.

Clavelle, who succeeded Sanders, found resistance from within his own party when in 2000 he put forth his Legacy Action Plan — a municipal blueprint that would serve as a precursor to PlanBTV. One of the plan’s most controversial proposals was to make Burlington bigger through “carefully planned growth,” meaning more people and more development. Knodell, who helped write the plan, often calls herself a “Peter Clavelle Progressive” — a nod to their shared interest in promoting development.

One significant difference between the debate then and now: “That was just an abstract plan; this could actually happen,” said Knodell.

“The fact that everyone is not marching in lockstep is fine, but the fact that the debate has been as testy as it has been, I think, is unfortunate,” said Clavelle.

Accusations flew the week before Election Day. Knodell ripped the Coalition for a Livable City after VTDigger.org ran a story about alleged campaign finance violations committed by the group’s political action committee.

“It is unacceptable that the Coalition for a Livable City is violating Vermont campaign finance law and has left the public with no way of knowing what private or political interests are fueling their well-funded campaign of distortions and misinformation,” she wrote.

The PAC’s treasurer? Goodkind. He said he was puzzled and disappointed by the public rebuke from a fellow Prog, whom he considers a friend.

POLITICS On November 4, Tracy, Colburn and independent councilor Sharon Bushor put out a letter saying the zoning change “emerged from a process void of compromise” and “will lower the percentage of affordable housing that developers are required to build.”

Knodell shot back with a Front Porch Forum post forcefully contesting both points.

She is also critical of the city Progs’ decision to issue a statement, which was made after a vote by the steering committee.

SH!

Wimpey claims Tracy’s demands are unreasonable and have the same effect as being antidevelopment. Either way, it’s clear that a particular group of Progressives has a higher threshold for supporting development.

State party director Emma Mulvaney-Stanak isn’t worried. “I think what that shows is great democracy and diversity of opinion within the party structure,” she said.

Progs have weathered more contentious disagreements in the past, she said — on local issues such as Burlington Telecom and statewide ones like ridgetop wind turbines. MulvaneyStanak, a Burlington resident, voted “no” on both redevelopment questions, largely because she thought the city administration gave too much deference to the developer and too little to the public.

Progressives currently have four members on the Burlington council.

When the two independents and one Republican vote with them, the eclectic coalition can overpower the five Democratic councilors. But if the dispute among Progs persists, it could create fissures in their unified front.

There should be a strong incentive for the party to reunite: The council has yet to finalize the “community benefits” that Sinex will provide as part of the project. And it still needs to sign a development agreement with Sinex.

Knodell said she hopes to negotiate for more workforce housing.

“There are still a lot of ways to maximize public good for the project,” noted Colburn.

In the coming months, the council is also expected to review Burlington’s inclusionary zoning ordinance, which requires developers to build units for low-income residents. Those who argue that the rules are too onerous will almost certainly push to relax them. “It’s going to be really important for us to come together in order to advocate for strong inclusionary zoning,” said Giannoni.

“Because the party took a position, the division within the party is very evident,” said Knodell, who had expressed support for the project before the statement came out.

Pine also said he was “uncomfortable with the statement” because he worried it would “have the effect of potentially alienating not only Progressives, but I think it would put the party at odds with the consensus of Burlington.”

Wimpey is one of those alienated Progs.

“There is a growing knee-jerk antidevelopment reaction building, and it’s cast in terms of the little guy against the big capitalist developer, so it looks like a Progressive position,” Wimpey said during an interview last week. “To me, it’s more of a Progressive position to support dense development.”

He added, “The Progressive leadership are maybe beginning to marginalize themselves,” which might make it harder for the party to retake the mayor’s office. Knodell hasn’t ruled out a future run.

Tracy says the opposition has been unfairly characterized as antidevelopment, arguing that he and others would have supported the mall redevelopment if Sinex had been willing to make concessions such as increasing the affordable housing.

Far left: Gov. Peter Shumlin and governor-elect Phil Scott

Old Hands or ‘Fresh Eyes’? Building a Scott Administration, Job by Job B Y T ER R I HA LLEN BEC K

L

ast Thursday, governor-elect Phil Scott and Gov. Peter Shumlin convened for a half-hour, allthis-will-soon-be-yours meeting.

Asked afterward for one piece of advice the departing governor had for him, Scott revealed: “the importance of hiring good people.”

Selecting scores of employees became Scott’s main task the day after voters promoted the Republican lieutenant governor to Vermont’s top job. He has eight weeks to decide who will help him run state government starting January 5.

Fewer than 24 hours after the election, Scott’s transition team had a website, transition.vermont.gov, that was accepting résumés and suggestions from the public. Hundreds of applications have already come in, according to Jason Gibbs, a transition team member.

The buzz is intense: Just what will a Scott administration look like?

During a press conference the day after he prevailed over Democrat Sue Minter, the 58-year-old excavation company executive said he was looking “outside the box” for his cabinet members.

“Being a Republican isn’t a litmus test,” he insisted.

Yet Scott’s first move that day was to appoint three men who served as high-level aides to former Republican governor Jim Douglas to lead his transition team. This week he took a two-day trip to an Orlando meeting of the Republican Governors Association. Those two moves didn’t exactly send a signal of nonpartisanship.

Tim Hayward, once Douglas’ chief of staff, is leading the transition. Gibbs, who served as spokesman to the former governor and then commissioner of the Department of Forests, Parks and Recreation, is Hayward’s assistant. Neale Lunderville is heading up Scott’s budgetplanning committee after serving as

secretaries of administration and transportation under Douglas.

Those familiar names caught the attention of Rep. Chris Pearson (P-Burlington), who won election last week to the state Senate.

“My fear is that he will really mirror the Douglas administration; he’s already leaning in that direction,” said Pearson, who recalled persistent budget battles with the last Republican governor.

“My hope is that he picks a cabinet that reflects his more moderate nature.

I think he’s proven to be somebody who appreciates the challenges of working Vermonters.”

After his meeting with Shumlin, Scott walked down State Street in Montpelier back to his transition office, accompanied

by Hayward, Gibbs and his new state police security. Though he was operating on just a few hours of postelection sleep, the governor-elect had a spring in his step

and confidence that came with having just learned that voters really do like him. A passing driver honked in support.

Scott showed no sign that he’s overwhelmed by the task ahead — being in charge of nearly 8,000 executive-branch employees and building the fiscally responsible budget he promised voters.

The time frame is short, so Scott needs experienced people to get started, Gibbs explained. Douglas suggested he’s wise to hire some of his own former staff. “I had a very good team,” he said.

But Douglas, Gibbs and Scott himself predicted that the new administration would be a hybrid. While “I think we share the same vision of trying to have an effective government,” Scott said, “this is a Scott administration, and we want to think outside the box. I think we’re different.”

Scott said he would likely appoint not only former members of the Douglas administration, but also those who worked for Shumlin and former governor Howard Dean.

“There will absolutely be a lot of new talent, new ideas, new perspectives in this administration,” Gibbs said.

Scott may be the first governor since former farmer George Aiken, who served from 1937 to 1941, to come from a world where people don’t wear suits. Those watching closely say they expect his administration will be more reflective of his Barre blue-collar roots.

“It wouldn’t surprise me if we see people from … backgrounds that aren’t normally people you expect in state government,” said House Speaker Shap Smith (D-Morristown), who advised Minter’s campaign.

Smith pointed to two people Scott appointed to help him recruit staff: Rep. Laura Sibilia (I-Dover), who works for Southeastern Vermont Economic Development Strategies, and Debbie Winters, owner of Firetech Sprinkler in Colchester. “Those are people who are outside the box,” Smith said.

“I think Phil, as a businessperson, is looking for people who are oriented to that area — who are not politicians,” said Senate Minority Leader Joe Benning (R-Caledonia).

Lunderville said different political views won’t be a disqualifier, either. “It’s OK if they supported Sue Minter in the election,” he said. “The question is, can they help us move the state forward?”

“Governor-elect Scott is going to be looking for fresh eyes,” predicted Betsy Bishop, president of the Vermont Chamber of Commerce and Douglas’ former deputy chief of staff. “I see him reaching deep into the young-professional community.”

It’ll be important, too, for Scott to find someone with broad knowledge of health care policy, she said. Presidentelect Donald Trump’s vow to toss out the

too, of state officials Scott should hang on to, including Transportation Secretary Chris Cole and Health Commissioner Harry Chen. “I hope people like that get a nod,” she said.

Benning chimed in: Keep Michael Snyder, commissioner of the Department of Forests, Parks and Recreation.

When Shumlin was scouting for staff, he looked to the legislature. Will Scott?

The Republican minority doesn’t have many senior legislators to spare.

Dave Bellini, president of the Vermont State Employees’ Association, urged Scott not to rely heavily on legislators, ex-legislators or political favor seekers.

“If you’re going to be in charge of Human Services, you ought to know human services. Let’s get people with credentials and expertise,” he said, arguing that Shumlin appointed too many “political pals.”

Scott’s appointments will shape what kind of relationship he builds with the legislature. By the end of his eight years in office, Douglas had increasingly testy dealings with the heavily Democratic majority in the Senate and House. Along with the same-sex marriage bill, he vetoed the budget bill in 2009; lawmakers overrode that one, too.

Scott said at his first postelection press conference that he expects he will get along fine with the legislature. He spent 10 years in the Senate and the last six presiding over the chamber as lieutenant governor. “I can find ways to work with everyone,” he promised.

Scott said voters sent him a mandate that fiscal issues are the priority. That’s one area where the governor and lawmakers might feel friction, as in the Douglas era.

Scott has said he’ll limit state budget growth to match increases in Vermonters’ incomes or inflation. Given state salary contracts and other expenses, he realistically cannot do that without cuts.

Lunderville, who spent last Friday poring through the Shumlin administration’s budget documents, said the governor-elect has asked him not to look for cuts. “We’re looking where we can innovate and modernize state government,” he said. “We want to look at places to propose investments.”

Aside from the budget, lawmakers might differ with Scott over other issues.

Some will support gun-control legislation; others will want marijuana legalization after Massachusetts voted for it last week.

Scott has said he’d veto the former and wait on the latter.

Benning said he thinks Scott will navigate those differences with the same approach he’s used as lieutenant governor — with a coffee machine in his office, dispensing free joe to lawmakers of all stripes. Said Benning: “Every legislator has felt free to have a cup.” m

Affordable Care Act means the new governor has to be ready to react to healthpolicy curveballs, Bishop noted.

What about her? Bishop said she hadn’t thought about working in the Scott administration. “Phil Scott needs to look for really talented people,” she said. Is she talented? “I certainly do have talents.”

Two of Scott’s three transition team leaders have already indicated they aren’t interested in long-term jobs in the administration.

Lunderville said he’s happy as general manager of the Burlington Electric Department. Hayward, who worked for Douglas and Republican governor Richard Snelling, has no plans to come out of retirement to work in Scott’s administration, according to Gibbs.

Gibbs, on the other hand, appears likely to play a significant role in the administration. He was a volunteer senior adviser to Scott’s election campaign and speaks for the transition team.

“The governorelect and I have talked about roles I might play,” Gibbs said. “He has not made any decisions.” Gibbs said the first hires could be announced by week’s end.

Regardless of how many former Douglas staffers end up on the new governor’s payroll, Montpelier lobbyist Kevin Ellis said he considers Scott “a more modern guy than Jim Douglas.”

“He would not N EA L E have vetoed the gayL U ND ER V I LLE marriage bill,” Ellis said, referring to Douglas’ 2009 veto that the legislature overrode by a one-vote margin. “That’s a huge difference.”

Ellis said he will be watching to see if Scott comes through with unexpected appointments. “He needs to go find them,” Ellis said.

Ellis threw out names, without knowing whether the people were available, interested or could be persuaded to leave higher-paying gigs. Green Mountain Power CEO Mary Powell would make a good secretary of administration, he offered. Scott would be wise to keep some of Shumlin’s staff, Ellis said, naming Administration Secretary Trey Martin as a good communicator.

Rutland Mayor: Refugee Plan Unchanged by Trump’s Election

Vermont’s Senate Democratic caucus unanimously nominated Sen. Tim Ashe (D/P-Chittenden) to serve as president pro tempore Monday evening, all but ensuring his election in January as the next leader of the state Senate.

The 39- ear-old economics instructor from Burlington is set to succeed Sen. John Campbell (D-Windsor), who is retiring after six years at the helm.

“One of the reasons we all run for office in the first place, I think and I hope, is that we really want to change the world. I mean, that’s really what this is about,” Ashe told his colleagues at the Statehouse meeting.

A once-crowded field of contenders e entually winnowed to just Ashe and Sen. Claire Ayer (D-Addison), who both spent the fall courting colleagues in their home districts.

At Monday’s meeting, Ayer told her fellow Democrats that she had decided to drop out of the race “because it was clear I wasn’t going to win tonight.”

Instead, the 68-year-old retired nurse from Addison made a last-minute attempt to depose Sen. Dick Mazza (D-Grand Isle) as the third member of the Committee on Committees. In that position, which the 77-year-old grocer has held for some two decades, Mazza joins the lieutenant governor and president pro tem in doling out all Senate committee assignments.

Ayer noted that if Mazza, a Colchester resident, kept the job, all three members of the Committee on Committees would be men from Chittenden County.

In a secret ballot, senators voted 14 to 8 to keep Mazza on the job.

The appointments of Ashe and Mazza wi l require majority votes in the 30-member Senate come January.

Rutland Mayor Chris Louras risked his political career on a controversial proposal to welcome 100 Syrian refugees to his longstruggling city. He’s spent most of the past year beating back fierce opposition and nativist rhetoric from his critics.

Despite president-elect Donald Trump’s victory after a campaign in which he vowed

to bar Muslim immigrants from entering America, Louras said he and his allies are proceeding apace.

Louras is coordinating with the Vermont Refugee Resettlement Program and a local volunteer group, Rutland Welcomes, to prepare for the initial wave of refugees from war-torn Syria. They are expected to arri e in mid-December or January. The bulk of the refugees are expected in the spring and summer, Louras said.

“All of us are continuing as if there’s been no change,” Louras, a Republican-turnedindependent, said. “We’ve got no indications that the New Americans will not be arriving.

We’re absolutely cognizant of the fact that things could change, but it’s not impacting things [now].”

VRRP is hiring local staff and scouring Rutland for office space, Louras said. The State Department approved Rutland as a refugee relocation site in late September.

The five-term mayor, who faces reelection in March, said that while he was shaken

by Trump’s win, he took some solace in the fact that Rutland, which often leans conservative, gave Trump only 38 percent of its vote.

“From my perspective, that’s a repudiation of his own position on refugee resettlement,” Louras said, noting that he voted for Hillary Clinton, the first time he has ever selected a Democrat for president.

Louras said he has not seen an increase in complaints or opposition to refugee resettlement in Rutland since Trump’s win.

After 47 years in office, Sen. Bi l Doyle (R-Washington) fell 191 votes shy of reelection last Tuesday. Now the 90-year-old political science professor is asking for a recount.

Doyle has held the Senate seat since 1969.

Official Election Day results show that Doyle came in fourth in a race for three Washington County Senate seats.

Sens. Ann Cummings, a Democrat, and Anthony Pollina, a Progressive/Democrat, won reelection. Democrat Francis Brooks, a former state representative and Statehouse sergeant-at-arms, finished just ahead of the nonagenarian Doyle.

“It’s pretty close,” said Doyle. “I just think that in general a recount is worth going through.”

Doyle, who has been physically slowed by age, said he campaigned as much as ever.

He worries voters confused him with Mike Doyle, who also appeared on the ballot as a Republican candidate in the Washington County Senate race.

Mike Doyle is no relation to Bill Doyle, though the two are friends.

Asked about the possibility that his political career might be over after more than four decades, Bill Doyle didn’t rule anything out. “I have the opportunity to run in two years. I’d have to think about that,” he said.

At least one House race is also being contested. Rep. Larry Fiske (R-Enosburg Falls) filed for a recount in his race for reelection in the Franklin-7 district. Results show him 15 votes behind former Rep. Cindy Weed, a Progressive/Democrat. The results of that recount will be announced November 21 at the Franklin County Courthouse.

She was the business manager of the Stowe Reporter for 30 years; a Stowe High School booster; a member of the Stowe Community Church, where she volunteered as aŸSundayŸschool teacher and youth leader; worked part-time at Wood ‘N Wicker and Lasak Silver; and became an eventual active member of the Elmore United Methodist Church.

After Bill died, Marilyn’s greatest joy came from gathering and chatting with folks in and around her community, as she never met a stranger. Marilyn and her best pals, Maureen Urell and Kathy Raijki, spent every evening together laughing and kibitzing about the latest and greatest. She also loved visiting and hanging out with Holly in the sunny Southwest and following Rusty’s shows all over Vermont and New England, where she often ad-libbed back and forth with Rusty from her audience seat.

Her latest show-business credit was writing and starring in a television ad for Aubuchon Hardware that is presently running.

Funeral services will be held Saturday, November 19, at 11 a.m at the Stowe Community Church. Faith Funeral Home is assisting with arrangements. A private interment will be at the convenience of the family in the Wheeler Cemetery in Morrisville.

HRISTY MITCHELL opened Burlington’s S.P.A.C.E. GALLERY in 2009, and every November since 2012 she has mounted her own solo show. Sandwiched between the annual “Art of Horror” group show and holiday-centric displays of affordable works, her exhibitions are unabashedly personal. This year, with “IRL” (“in real life”), Mitchell smartly digs into the world of online dating as a straight female, using a variety of media to process her encounters.

Experiences limited to the internet and those taken to the next level meet in this exhibition.

Mitchell’s seven distinct bodies of work comment on the broader experiences of women seeking male partnership in the digital age. But they also have an inherently place-based component, since Mitchell lives and works — and therefore sets her Tinder location — in Burlington.

“Tinder has a different application here than in New York City,” Mitchell says. The nuances of online dating in a rural area shine through in “Photo Friendly,” a series of framed images gleaned from user profiles and screenshots from singles platforms Tinder and OkCupid. Vermont users are no doubt familiar with seeing their faces in Tinder’s graphic epicenter accompanied by the text “There’s no one new around you.” Mitchell has placed her own small screenshot within the multiphoto frame.

Urban women are less likely to see that message — or so many photos of men posing with fish. Vermont Tinder is rampant with those images, Mitchell says — as if fishing were a de rigueur display of manliness here. A cluster of heart-shaped brass frames within “Photo Friendly” offers up such fishy screenshots. “Twenty percent of [their] profile is a fish,” Mitchell comments, “which says, Love me with this fish. He comes with the fish.”

In some parts of Vermont, Burlington included, setting one’s Tinder distance preferences to the maximum 100-mile radius means getting “access” to site members in Montréal.

For “Wash,” Mitchell replaced the cord and speaker of an old-fashioned rotary phone with a long braid of synthetic blond hair and a Lucite showerhead. The piece is named for the 1949 song “I’m Gonna Wash That Man Right Outa My Hair,” written by Rodgers and Hammerstein for the Broadway musical South Pacific. Some visitors, Mitchell says, have seen in the piece a gesture toward the “synthetic communication that we’re getting these days.”

She notes that as she constructed the exhibition, her own online dating shifted to a process of “research and documentation.” By entwining her art practice and her romantic life, Mitchell has created a space for herself and others to consider the gender roles, rituals and vulnerabilities, new and old, that have emerged on the digital dating frontier.

What is love, anyway? It’s hard to say, but Mitchell offers this: “Love in the HURRY OFFER EXPIRES 11/28 digital age is very difficult.”

local photographer LUKE AWTRY — whom she also met on Tinder — she cleverly melds her own search for romance with the story of Cinderella.

For the photographs, Mitchell used fishnet stockings, a no-frills blue dress and a pair of aptly named Public Desire clear plastic boots (aka glass slippers) as props. In some photos, she places herself in an ambiguous, attic-like space, confined like the Cinder girl. The underlying sentiment that modern love is no fairy tale is cleverly subverted by the suggestion that a fairy tale is also no fairy tale. Waiting to be “rescued” by love may be boring, high heels make your feet hurt, and Prince Charming may have unexpected tastes. Mitchell writes in her exhibition text: “In this case, the real Prince Charming can be perceived as the artist herself, creating an internal dialog of what it means to be desired and finding love within her own mind and creative meanderings.”

As a viewer takes in the “Prince Charming” series, the 15-foot-wide projection “Photobooth Façade” plays on a loop on the gallery’s blank wall.

Hundreds of Mitchell’s computer selfies fly by, from sultry, red-lipsticked poses to full-on goofball faces. Of the hundreds, Mitchell reports, she put only 10 into play on her dating profiles.

The piece speaks to the often funny, vulnerable and embarrassing reality of self-creation and curation when one is looking for love.

Humor is a crucial element of the exhibition, balancing a sense of frustration with a healthy appreciation for the absurd. In “IRL,” Awtry captures Mitchell in the “bar scene,” smoking and wearing a gorilla mask. “Little Black Book” is a “talking photo album” issued by RadioShack circa 2005, which Mitchell has filled with upbeat stock

Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire Inspires a Contemporary Art Book B Y S A D I E W I LLI A M S

O

n First Night in Montpelier some 20 years ago, local artist DELIA BELL ROBINSON made a friend who would become one of her most compelling subjects. Peter, who prefers not to reveal his last name, is the focus of her recently published art book A Shirtwaist Story.

In it, Robinson explores Peter’s tragedy-fraught family history through the stories he has told her over the course of their friendship. She focuses primarily on tales of his grandfather, one of the owners of the infamous Triangle Shirtwaist Factory in New York City.

The textile business caught fire in 1911; locked in rooms on upper floors, 146 workers died in one of the deadliest industrial disasters in U.S. history.

With such dark subject matter, it’s hard to imagine Robinson creating anything but a dour condemnation of Peter’s wealthy family and the price they allowed others to pay for their profit. But the 71-year-old Montpelier artist isn’t in the business of judgment.

Rather, she has crafted a visual narrative,

ART

with a dash of poetic prose, that is both a compelling account of the tragedy and a window into Peter’s inherited sense of guilt and how it shaped him. The book, which includes 148 color prints, has been nominated for a 2016 Jewish Book Council award.

Burlington-based FOMITE PRESS released A Shirtwaist Story last month.

But the story had been germinating since Robinson met Peter on that fateful New Year’s Eve. That night, they ducked into Ben & Jerry’s for hot cocoa and began the process of getting to know each other. As their encounters continued, Robinson says, she felt compelled to document Peter’s tales.

She would run home to paint and draw on the pages of an old book, fittingly called Peter. (Its title character was a little English boy who travels through time, much as Robinson’s story hops between past and present.) The images Robinson drew from Peter’s life are colorful ruminations on his wealthy upbringing: taking French lessons, riding his bike through Central Park, standing in the elevator with actress Grace Kelly.

It wasn’t until 2001, when the last survivor of the fire died, that Peter revealed his family secret. Robinson recalls that she found him slumped over a cup of coffee at a local shop, despondent. He told her his grandfather was one of the factory owners, a discovery that drastically changed the tone of Robinson’s artistic reflections.

“I became haunted [by his story],” the artist says. As Robinson started researching the fire, her paintings grew darker. Her glimpses of factory life were peppered with facts about wages and workers — Triangle Shirtwaist was a sweatshop, as the tragic circumstances of the fire revealed.

She made portraits of the women — mostly immigrants — who died. Two of them were just 14 years old.

One of Robinson’s paintings depicts

Portrait of an unknown factory worker

a woman’s skirt and feet as she stands on a window ledge, about to jump to her death — as so many did.

Another shows protesters fighting for labor rights after the fire. The paintings that make up the last 15 pages of the book show the unflinching faces of women who died, dark portraits that tug the reader deeper into the story.

Assembling the book took Robinson a long time, she says, in part because

Earlier this week, Johnson State College sophomore BRITTNEY MALIK recited “Let America Be America Again,” a poem written by Langston Hughes in 1935. Her reading was staged to mark the opening of the new collaborative exhibition “Awaken” at the JULIAN SCOTT MEMORIAL GALLERY. Ignited by the police-shooting deaths of Philando Castile and Alton Sterling, Underhillbased artist and recent JSC graduate SABRINA LEONARD began organizing the exhibition in July. ˜ e show is meant to honor and memorialize “all the black lives oppressed and terrorized by slavery, Jim Crow segregation, lynching, mass incarceration and systemic racism.”

“O, let America be America again— / ˜ e land that never has been yet— / And yet must be — the land where every man is free,” wrote Hughes. “[˜ e poem] makes so much sense now, like it was written now,” Malik tells Seven Days by phone. She got involved after seeing posters that Leonard had posted around campus in October, which featured in large bold letters a quote from Michelle Alexander, author of ˜ e New Jim

Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness: “Something more is required of us now.”

Below was an invitation to “End your silence and take action and accountability by collaborating with us.” It was accompanied by exhibition info and Leonard’s email address.

“I was definitely on board the moment I saw the poster,” Malik says. “I haven’t seen a lot of that kind of movement building near me in northern Vermont.”

Leonard was not inundated with emails from enthusiastic collaborators.

“I was hoping for a lot of emails and a lot of interest, and it didn’t really happen,” she says. So the project became “much more grassroots, [with] people pulling from their networks.” ˜ e central element of the exhibition is a massive “Mourning Cloth” made of pillowcases that have been deconstructed, dyed black and resewn together. Leonard, whose work as a sculptor frequently incorporates deconstruction, found objects and stitching, decided to use pillowcases after reading Ta-Nehisi Coates’ Between the World and Me. In the

book, Leonard says, Coates writes “so often of being asleep and dreaming” in relation to American racism.

Leonard’s sister-in-law, SARA BAER FARRELL, took to Facebook to solicit donations of pillowcases from friends and family. ˜ e final cloth is made from 70 to 100 pillowcases, most mailed in from eight states — and some, Leonard says, “dropped off on porches” locally.

After the cases were deconstructed and dyed, community members helped assemble the piece with sewing machines in the gallery space. When

the show comes down, the cloth will be rehung indefinitely in the college’s library.

Leonard also reached out online to black female artists who have been vocal about their experiences as women of color and the significance of #BlackLivesMatter. On view are two abstract oil paintings by Bay Area artist A’Driane Nieves and collages by New York artist Christa David. In her “Speak Up” video for BonBon Break magazine, Nieves describes her three young African American sons to viewers, and

she never intended to publish it. “I didn’t ever want to do anything that would hurt him,” she says of Peter. “He never looked at it; he never wanted to see what I was doing. [And] I felt very protective of his rights to this story.”

Eventually, her paintings came to the attention of author and Fomite coowner MARC ESTRIN, several of whose novels Robinson has illustrated. Estrin encouraged her to publish, so Robinson asked Peter for his permission. He said no. A few years later, after his parents had died, he reversed his stance. With Estrin’s help, Robinson merged her disparate works into a cohesive narrative that, through Peter’s storytelling, takes the reader through the causes and repercussions of the fire.

Those repercussions are both historical and personal. Toward the end of the narrative, after Robinson has delved into the history of the fire and the

ensuing public awareness of Triangle’s workplace conditions, Peter’s story re-emerges. We find that, in the face of immense guilt, he has turned to art.

“Peter grew into a thoughtful, adult creator of intelligent, provocative art,” Robinson writes. “His work reconfigures objects, often inverts the concept of camouflage, and highlights the artifice of disguise. A sofa with pillows made of stone. A maple tree wearing the bark of a birch … Amazing sketchbooks bursting with drawings, allowing him to discuss things that cannot otherwise be said.”

In essence, Robinson adds layers of humanity to both the tragedy and Peter’s telling of it. Her portraits of factory workers bring “the emotions of the past back to life,” as she puts it. Peter’s story adds another layer of complexity by keeping the history alive, bringing it into the present through his emotional and familial attachment to it.

“I still feel very protective of it,” Robinson says of the book. “It was nice for me to tell a story I cared about.” That story addresses labor conditions, family burdens placed on children and, perhaps most importantly, “how we learn to speak in our own voice, despite those burdens,” she says. m

A VERMONT CABBIE’S REAR VIEW BY JERNIGAN PONTIAC

“Is the farm still in the family, still in operation?”

“Yeah, two of my older brothers run it.”

“You didn’t want to stay in the family business?”

“Well, I got into manufacturing crystal meth when I was 14. I got busted at 17 and did seven years in a few prisons, the bulk of

THE MAN WAS BURSTING WITH SOME SORT OF INTENSE ENERGY, AND I WANTED TO KNOW HIS STORY. the time at Attica, which is high security. I was released in 2012.”

“What was prison like?”

“Nobody fucked with me, if that’s what you’re asking. I got a black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu. I’ve competed on the MMA circuit.

My record’s 13 and 1.”

In Charlotte, the outgoing ferry was departing just as we arrived. The woman in the booth said the schedule was off owing to high winds; out on the lake, swirling whitecaps backed up her assertion. I paid the fare and pulled into the first position in Lane 1, cutting the engine.

Though it was windy, the sun shone brightly — all in all, a welcoming autumn afternoon. I stepped out to wander around the dock, and Caleb joined me. His anger at having been booted out of the hospital and forced to leave his pregnant partner seemed to have dissipated. I was actually enjoying his company.

I wrapped my head around that slice of information and asked, “Where did you two meet?”

“I was traveling in the Southwest three summers ago and stopped into a tobacco shop, and Grace was this beautiful girl behind the counter, all in the traditional Native clothes. Her parents owned the store. I asked her if she’d like to go out with me, maybe to a restaurant. She looked at me strange and said, ‘What would I eat?’

She had, like, no experience with outside culture, life off the rez.

“We fell in love, and she took me to meet her father to get his blessing on our getting married. He asked her, she later told me, if I was a ‘lone wolf.’ He then spoke to me in English and told me that I had the warrior spirit. Before we got married, there was a ceremony where I was actually given the Indian name ‘Lone Wolf’ and a headband with three feathers. Two were turkey feathers, which stands for love and loyalty. The

third feather — I’m not sure what bird it’s from — was my destiny, which was as a warrior.”

The ferry ride was exhilarating. We were positioned at the front of the boat, and the windshield kept getting sprayed with lake water as the square-shaped hull pounded the waves. I asked Caleb what he did for work, and he explained that he managed a couple of his mother’s rental properties in Saranac, in one of which he, Grace and the kids lived.

An hour and a half later, we reached his home, a shabby ranch house in what seemed to be an older neighborhood, just off the main drag. “Seems like a nice place,” I said as we pulled into the dirt driveway.

“It’s all right,” Caleb replied, “but we want to move back to the Navajo reservation. We couldn’t before, but now that we’re having this kid together, I’m allowed to live there.”

“That’s what you both want?”

“More than anything. When I met Grace and her people, it was like finding the missing jigsaw piece in my life. From that day, I completely gave up the drugs — selling ’em, taking ’em, you name it. I love nature, and I completely love the lifestyle on the rez.

Grace’s dad told me it was my destiny to live among the Navajo people, and I believe it.”

What a tumultuous life, I thought as we said our goodbyes. But just maybe the Native American wisdom that has graced his life will continue to heal his broken warrior spirit, making him whole and healthy.

As Caleb walked toward the door, I called to him from my open window. “Hey, Lone Wolf.”

He turned back to me and smiled, and I said, “Good luck to you and all your people.

And also — peace and love.” m All these stories are true, though names and locations may be altered to protect privacy.

a. Yeah, it’s Caleb. You won’t believe it — they put a notrespass order on me, and the hospital security guards made me leave. I was being stupid, and they said I was acting threatening to the nurses …

No, I’m in a cab right now and should be back to Saranac in a couple hours.”

Caleb, my customer, was talking to his mother on his cellphone from the shotgun seat of my taxi. I had just picked him up at the University of Vermont Medical Center for transport back to his home in Saranac Lake.

“Yeah, Grace is feeling better,” he continued. “They did tests and the baby is fine, and they’re probably gonna release her in a day or two. They say she’ll still be able to have the birth back home.”

He said goodbye to his mom and clicked off. “Well, I fucked up,” he said — perhaps to me, perhaps to himself. “But Grace is gonna be fine, and that’s all that matters.”

I was sure he meant it, yet, glancing to my right, I could tell he was still angry. His body remained coiled, and his jaw muscles pulsated. The man was compact and wiry, with a brick-red beard and matching short-cropped hair. It’s not a great leap to imagine why the hospital people felt threatened, I thought.

The trip to Saranac was going to take a good two hours, including a ferry ride from Charlotte to Essex. That’s a lot of time to be sitting a scant two feet from a seemingly volatile person. For my own well-being, I wanted to engage him, to establish human contact.

“So, did you grow up in upstate New York?” I asked, casually but with genuine interest. The man was bursting with some sort of intense energy, and I wanted to know his story.

“Yeah, 30 miles outside of Binghamton, in the town of Delancey. My father had a dairy farm, and I was one of 12 children.

Hanging out in the open-walled brochure booth, I asked Caleb if this was his first child.

“Not exactly,” he replied. “I have six others with my first wife. I know, I know — I look too young. But I have a set of triplets, then the twins, and the youngest is a single.

They’re all under the age of 8. Multiple births run in my family.”

“How did that happen, if you don’t mind me asking? I mean, being in jail and all?”

“Conjugal visits. Anyway, the mother took off, and now I’m raising all of them with Grace, plus major help from my mother. All the kids are now bilingual, ’cause Grace speaks to them in Navajo. She’s a full-blooded Indian. Sometimes I’ll come into the room and Grace and one of ’em will be talking in her language, and I’ll ask what they’re talking about. Grace will laugh and say, ‘You don’t want to know.’”

THE STRAIGHT DOPE BY CECIL ADAMS

Dear Cecil,

Out of the thousands of different ungulate species on this planet, horses are among the very few that have neither horns nor antlers.

Obviously the development of such bony headwear conveyed a distinct evolutionary advantage to the other fleet-footed herbivores, so how did horses manage to evolve and survive without them?

Cowboy Ken same ancestor, it appeared, had also evolved into a lot of other things including dolphins, meaning the ungulate concept had to expand beyond hoofs, and even feet. Later, DNA research revealed genetic similarities between seemingly unlike species, scrambling classification systems still further; elephants and manatees, once counted among the ungulates, got bumped into a more distant grouping. The experts are still arguing about what species go where (one genome-based proposal from 2006 put horses in a group with cats, dogs and bats), but the current understanding says deer and antelopes are more closely related to whales than they are to horses.

But save the whales for another day; for now we’ll stick with true ungulates, planteating quadrupeds with hoofs or something like them. These are grouped into two orders, the artiodactyls and the perissodactyls, that have evolved in parallel for more than 50

million years. Artiodactyls have an even number of toes (think cloven hoofs); they include sheep, goats, cows, deer and antelopes — that is, basically all the horned creatures you can think of — but also pigs, hippos, camels and llamas, and a few others. Perissodactyls, with an odd number of toes, fall into three subgroups: horses and their cousins, the asses and zebras; tapirs, which don’t have horns either; and rhinoceroses.

So the question isn’t why horses don’t have horns, but instead why, unlike their closest relatives, rhinos do.

Let’s go way, way back to Cambaytherium thewissi, a mammal whose fossilized remains, disinterred in India in 2014 and dated at 55 million years old, are thought to be the closest we’ve yet seen to the perissodactyls’ common ancestor. This pig-size beast had five toe-like appendages per foot, no hoofs, and — sorry to disappoint anyone still holding out hope for evidence of ancient

SEVEN DAYS 30 STRAIGHT DOPE

eventually became the horse we recognize today, as the need to escape carnivores rewarded more streamlined hoofs and a longer stride.

Whatever other obvious benefit they confer — African rhinos are huge and mean enough that they have no natural predators — horns play a notable role when rhinos, largely solitary otherwise, convene for courtship and mating; the males’ horns are used not so much to lure the ladies (as with deer) but to use in sparring with rivals. Horses, by contrast, have evolved to live in herds, with well-defined hierarchies governing mating.

Natural selection didn’t always go easy on horses. They died out in North America before being reintroduced in domesticated form by Europeans, and it’s hard to see how horns would have helped them survive the food shortages brought about by climate change in the late Pleistocene era. Back here in the present, humans have become a factor in the ongoing development of rhinos, whose horns continue to attract the poachers that have already wiped out certain subspecies. A hornless rhino, you have to think, might have a better shot at survival.

hoa up there, Ken. Yes, horses are ungulates — literally, hoofed mammals — and so are all those horn- and antler-bearing herbivores you’re picturing. But past that, you’re on the wrong trail.

Plenty of ungulates besides horses don’t have horns, dozens of species historically classified as ungulates don’t even have hoofs, and horses aren’t as closely related to many of their horned kin as one might think, to look at them.

When 19th-century taxonomists were sorting out the animal kingdom, they tossed horses into the biological order Ungulata along with the cattle, deer, et al. on the not-crazy assumption that their hooves (ungulae, in Latin) and overall leg structure were evidence of kinship. But the fossil record soon complicated matters.

Paleontologists did discover evidence of a common ancestor for all critters with hoofs or hooflike nails — but that

unicorns — no horn. Sometime after that, horses and rhinos parted ways.

Early rhinos thrived in a variety of hornless forms, resembling modern tapirs or hippos or pudgy horses. Some grew to immense proportions (15-plus feet tall, 20 tons), the better to browse on tree leaves, until elephants edged them out of their habitat. The rhinos that ultimately made the cut stayed closer to the ground, ate grass and, along the way, developed one or more horns. Unlike the headgear of the even-toed ungulates, rhino horns sprout from just above the nose rather than from the sides of the forehead and consist solely of keratin, the stuff that makes up fingernails and sheathes the bony core inside the horns of cattle, antelopes, etc. (Antlers are constructed along different lines: They’re all bone and grow in a single two-sided unit from the front of the head.)

Meanwhile, the proto-horse called eohippus was making its way through the wild. This guy was around 2 feet tall with some complicated stuff going on down at the extremities: four toes on the front feet, three on the hind feet, each toe ending in its own small hoof. Once out on the plains, its descendants

K

illington is, hands down, Vermont’s rowdiest ski town.

But it’s about to get its wool socks knocked off when the women’s alpine skiing World Cup hits the resort on November 26 and 27.

“This is huge for us to have such an event here,” says Chuck Hughes, the chief of course, of the two-day race officially known as the Audi FIS Ski World Cup and nicknamed the “White Circus.”

“It’s going to blow people away.”

How so? Imagine busloads of skiracing fans churning up Interstates 89 and 91 from New Hampshire, New York and beyond, filling the stands with nearly 15,000 cowbell-clanging spectators. Throngs will stream through the streets, while nightclubs will host international-level revelry. Maryland jam band O.A.R., meanwhile, has added Killington to its national tour and will play a free concert on Saturday afternoon.

“We are going to be amazed by the numbers of people coming to watch,” says chief of race Ted Sutton. “We’ve all been waiting 25 years for this to happen, and it’s finally here.”

While 55 percent of the ski racers are from the East Coast, according to Sutton, New England hasn’t hosted an alpine World Cup since 1991, when New Hampshire’s Waterville Valley saw American Julie Parisien win the giant slalom. Stratton staged a World Cup in 1978, but this is the first time Killington has prepared for the event.

Getting the venue ready for some 90 athletes from 27 countries involves countless hours of snowmaking, with guns every 25 feet, and placing 400 feet of netting. More than 120 people are working around the clock.

“The scariest thing about this race for all of us, probably even more so for the athletes,” says Sutton, “is that this course has never been raced on before.

It’s been challenging for course setters, who can normally go in with a general idea of where gates should be placed on the course. But, in this case, it’s all new to everybody.”

After Black Friday will come White Circus Saturday and Sunday at Killington.

On Superstar, a trail with a 1,199-foot drop, alpine superstars such as Americans Lindsey Vonn, Julia Mancuso and Mikaela

What you drive reflects what drives you.

Shiffrin, along with Swiss champion Lara Gut, will compete in giant slalom (faster and wider turns around 46 to 58 gates with panels) and slalom (tighter, more technical turns around 40 to 60 pole-like gates). Each event includes two runs, and the woman with the fastest combined time wins.

“It’s definitely going to raise the level of excitement and interest in world-class ski racing,” says Hughes, a longtime ski coach who also serves as the development program director and events manager for Killington Mountain School. “And we hope to be able to do a great job so as to continue to get the World Cup back at Killington.”

Where’s the best place to watch? The ticketed grandstands are sold out, but spectators can still nab a free viewing spot at the base.

“The festival expo village at the K-1 Base Area is your best bet,” says Michael Joseph, Killington’s communications manager. “Racers will be accelerating down the final Superstar pitch into the finish line. Plus, we’ll have a huge TV wall set up so you can see the upper portion of the race courses. And, of course, you’ll be in prime position once O.A.R. begins their free concert Saturday.”

Sutton explains that the base area beats higher vantage points because it offers views of the most interesting — and most challenging — third of the course, of which the steepest point is 45 degrees.

“It’s going to be incredible to see right from the parking lot,” he says.

Regardless of who wins, plenty of celebratory beer will flow in a public tent during the day, and the World Cup Official Post Party will take place at the Wobbly Barn. There, Après Ski With Tony Lee Thomas at 6 p.m. will give way to JJ Rupp at 9 p.m. and DJ Prime at 11:30 p.m. Autograph signings, ski academy and college alumni parties — and probably more wings than you can throw a snowball at — will round out the scene around Killington.

Can’t make it all the way to the Big K? More than 60 countries will broadcast the event to 2.1 million viewers worldwide, and you can catch World Cup action on NBC while you tuck into turkey leftovers.

three times in the past seven months. And other powerful atmospheric forces — the North Atlantic Oscillation, for example — can affect Vermont’s snowfall independently of what’s happening off the coast of Chile.

Factoring in all the available data, NOAA offers a 50-50 long-range outlook for New England. It might be snowier and colder than usual during the next three months … or it might be drier and warmer.

“Precipitation,” Leonard adds in an email, “is much harder, if not impossible, to predict correctly.” A single big snowstorm can push a seasonal forecast off its mark, he notes. “Having said that,”

The Weather Channel, which has developed its own computer modeling, comes to a conclusion similar to NOAA’s.

“For the Northeast,” says Weather Channel meteorologist Dan Leonard, “we feel that the winter will be a changeable one with periods of cold intermixed with periods of warmth. In the end, we expect temps to average out close to normal.”

hen Mike Wing predicts seasonal snowfall amounts, he pays no attention to the North Atlantic Oscillation, the likelihood of a weak La Niña, or the increasingly sophisticated computer modeling of the National Weather Service and other long-range forecasters.

Instead, Wing, who runs the snowmaking operation at Sugarbush Resort, looks at the height of hornets’ nests.

This fall, he says, “I’ve seen some as high as 14 feet off the ground. Other years, they’ve been as low as three feet.” A greater height could presage a particularly snowy winter, Wing suggests, because hornets want to prevent their queen’s eggs from being smothered.

How can hornets calculate snow depth far in advance of the first flake’s fall? “I don’t know,” Wing responds with a laugh. “I’m just saying.”

Farmers’ Almanac echoes the hornets’ buzz. First published in 1818, the periodical predicts an exceptionally snowy winter for New England in its 2017 edition.

“It’s good fun,” WCAX-TV meteorologist Nick Borelli says of the compendium’s apocryphal claim.

“But there’s no basis for it at all.”

Borelli and the rest of the Channel 3 weather crew don’t put much faith in computer-generated longrange forecasts, either. “It’s such an inexact science,” Borelli says.

The National Weather Service makes deep dives into oceans of data to come up with seasonal temperature and precipitation projections for regions of the United States. Gaps in those data mean that “errors get amplified,” Borelli points out.

Still, months-ahead forecasts formulated by teams of heavily credentialed researchers aren’t mere guesswork. The federal government’s meteorology agency predicted last year that, owing to the El Niño effect, the northeastern U.S. winter was likely to be warmer and drier than normal. Which, to the chagrin of Vermont ski resorts and their customers, was exactly how it turned out.

For this winter, Borelli says, “there’s no clear signal” on which to base New England snowfall predictions.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the weather service’s parent agency, reports that a La Niña phenomenon has gotten under way. This cooling of surface temperatures in the eastern Pacific — the opposite of what happens in El Niño — can result in above-average precipitation in the northern tier of states.

NOAA expects the current iteration of La Niña to be weak and short-lived, but skiers and riders shouldn’t make frowny faces just yet. The weather service has revised its assessment of La Niña

other big ski areas in Vermont rely on Vazzano in deciding whether, when and where to fire their guns.

“We make our entire snow plan based on what he says,” Sugarbush’s Smith reports.

While of great value to Vermont’s ski industry, Vazzano’s short-term forecasts are “not perfect,” notes John Hammond, vice president for mountain operations at Sugarbush. But they’re reliable enough, he adds, to allow his resort “to make more accurate business decisions” regarding snowmaking, which is a costly undertaking. “Tony presents a forecast with three-hour increments by elevation that enables us to be proactive rather than reactive,” Hammond says.

Vazzano’s own business rests, accordingly, on the accuracy of his snowmaking forecasts. “It’s above average,” he says. “There’s a lot of competition in this field, and the resorts keep using my service year after year.”

On balance, then, the long-range forecasts for the coming snow year are iffy. But the bigger-picture predictions are grim, with a high degree of certainty.

According to all reputable climate chroniclers, the past month was the third-hottest October on record for the lower 48 states as a whole. Some 7,000 warmth records were set in localities around the country, compared with 508 record-cold readings for particular days of the month.

That heat-up continues an alarming trend long under way in the U.S. and most of the world. The United Nations’ World Meteorological Organization said last week that a detailed analysis of global climate shows 2011 to 2015 to be the hottest five-year period since the start of reliable worldwide temperature measurements in the late 19th century.

There’s every indication that 2016 will lengthen this climb, the UN continued.

Sea levels are rising, glaciers are retreating and snow cover throughout the northern hemisphere is shrinking.

Also, Donald Trump just got elected president of the world’s second-biggest (after China) source of carbon pollution.

To climatologists, that’s not a good sign.

So when it comes to Mad River Glen and all the other Vermont resorts, the best advice is to ski them while you can. m

Leonard continues, “there is some evidence to suggest a drier-than-normal winter for the Northeast, thanks to a persistent northwesterly flow.”

Another bummer of a winter, then, for all of Vermont’s snow lovers?

Not necessarily.

Steady winds from the northwest, the Weather Channel weatherman cautions, “could favor the typical westfacing, up-slope mountains with more snow than normal even if storms are weaker/fewer than normal.” So crosscountry skiers might find lots to love in Underhill State Park and similarly situated play places.

When long-range forecasts do call for northern New England to be buried by blizzards, “we get all excited,” says Sugarbush owner Win Smith. “But realistically, no, we don’t put a lot of faith in those forecasts.”

Killington spokesman Michael Joseph says that his resort’s decision makers “keep the far outlook in the back of our minds, but snowmaking planning is based on much shorterrange forecasts.”

Enter Tony Vazzano.

A meteorologist who studied at Lyndon State College, Vazzano is the go-to guy for a dozen ski resorts in Vermont, as well as a few more in New Hampshire and Maine.

He’s been providing the statistical bases for snowmaking choices for 40 years through his forecasting company, North Winds Weather.

“Some of the long-range stuff is getting better,” Vazzano allows. And, he suggests, it’s safe to predict this winter will be snowier than last, simply because the 2015-16 winter was such a bear. “It’s almost a given that this year will be better,” Vazzano reasons.

But prophesying entire seasons is not where it’s at for his one-man operation based in Sandwich, N.H. “I’m big on what will happen the next five days, and especially the next 48 hours,” Vazzano says.

He bases these short-term forecasts on temperature, humidity and wind readings from monitoring devices at the top, bottom and middle of ski mountains.

Those data, combined with inputs from the National Weather Service, enable Vazzano to make predictions specific to resorts and to their topographical gradations. It takes a few hours to gear up the snowmaking apparatus, so Killington, Sugarbush and almost all the

Two hours of climbing, including equipment and instruction, costs $26 for ages 12 and under, $30 for 13 and up.

Private lessons are available, too.

“We’re introducing the sport to a lot of people who’ve never tried it before,” Davis said. “So we’ve set a variety of different routes — very easy routes for neverevers and challenging routes for more experienced climbers.”

Dillon, my daughter, managed to scramble up Elephant Head in less time than it took me to whip out my iPhone for an Instagram shot. She was motivated not only by a sense of competition with her 8-year-old brother, Harper, but also by the instructor’s encouraging words: “Don’t slow down! You got this! You can do this!

Keep bringing your feet up!”

For his part, as soon as Harper finished one route, he was off to try another. A rapidly growing third grader, he often complains of hunger pangs, but Stowe Rocks kept his mind elsewhere.

Had we needed more fuel, however, the Canteen upstairs would have come to the rescue. There, chefs hand-toss pizza pies such as the Big Pig, with meatballs, hot Italian sausage and ground beef; and the Off-Piste Pesto, with artichoke hearts, sun-dried tomatoes, olives and goat cheese. The Canteen also offers strombolis, salads, subs and frosted brownies to take the edge off a chilly day on Mount Mansfield and Spruce Peak.

In addition to Stowe Rocks, the Adventure Center now houses Stowe’s Ski & Snowboard School. The adjacent Canteen can accommodate 420 kids and instructors sitting down for lunch at the same time.

“There are very few purpose-built centers of this size in our business,” said

Stowe marketing and communications director Jeff Wise of the family-focused venue. “Stowe Rocks allows multiple generations to continue their active day together, while the Canteen provides great family food and drink.”

Wise added that the Adventure Center hosts kids’ programs such as Climb Time — supervised evening activities that enable parents to enjoy some alone time.

The Adventure Center is heated and cooled entirely with geothermal energy.

A large-scale mural by Geoff McFetridge, former art director for underground Beastie Boys magazine Grand Royal, uses animal caricatures to highlight local points of interest. Visitors can peruse artifacts from Vermont’s early skiing history in a Vermont Ski and Snowboard Museum installation.

If those visitors don’t own outdoor equipment, no problem: The Adventure Center also includes a Gear Zone rental area, a retail space, a concierge call center, a movie theater and a daycare center. The resort is doing its best to provide one-stop shopping for nearly every recreational need. It may also be trying to persuade people never to leave.

The ice-skating rink right outside hosts broomball on Thursdays and offers free lessons for kids on Fridays. The resort has performances lined up this winter, too: For example, Olympic medalist Nancy Kerrigan will appear in a preholiday skating exhibition on December 17 and 18.

I know Stowe’s fabled Front Four will still call my name this winter. But other adventures might, too. When my kids clambered off the Adventure Center’s climbing wall and pleaded, “Can we try it again?” my answer was easy: yes.

’ll never forget my first look, circa 1986, at Stowe Mountain Resort’s most famous feature: the fabled Front Four trails of National, Goat, Liftline and Starr. I was quaking in my rear-entry ski boots as a young girl.

But my daughter, now 9, will have a different memory.

She’ll never forget her first look at the resort’s 40-foot-high Elephant Head Tower, riddled with handholds and footholds. It’s as artificial as the Front Four are natural, but both are equally gnarly attractions.

“People come in, and they can’t believe it,” said Peter Davis. He’s the specialized recreation manager at Stowe Rocks, part of the sprawling new $25 million Adventure Center that’s redefining how skiers and riders spend their off-slope time at the resort. “It really is the gateway to adventure at Stowe,” he added.

During my family’s recent visit to the resort, we watched couples and groups of buddies gear up for the ZipTour Adventure and TreeTop Adventure.

Those attractions have since shut down for the winter, but what remains open is just as lofty: a 30,000-square-foot lodge with big wooden ceiling beams, buzzing with winter activities.

The Elephant Head Tower, named for a nearby outdoor climbing cliff at Smugglers’ Notch, serves as the centerpiece of Stowe Rocks’ climbing facility, which features nearly 50 routes on 20-odd top-rope stations. Auto-belays — devices that take up the slack for a climber, eliminating the need for a partner — allow the Adventure Center to accommodate slews of climbers. Kids as young as 18 months have taken to the wall, according to Davis.

Brooke Scatchard

Skiing on Wheels Brooke Scatchard brings the fat-bike ski to winter sports B Y KAT IE JI CKL I NG

B

rooke Scatchard unveils his pièce de résistance unceremoniously, with hardly a nonchalant wave. His fat-bike ski has been 15 years in the making; now it leans inconspicuously in the corner of the University of Vermont’s machine shop, waiting for a few final tweaks — and snowfall.

This is the 13th and final iteration of Scatchard’s invention, a mountain bike with the typical oversize tire in the rear and a removable ski in the front. The five-pound aluminum attachment can replace the front wheel and brake on any fat bike. The wide ski allows the cycle to “float on the snow,” Scatchard says, and maintain control through turns.

Over the years, he has shaped and reshaped the curvature of the ski, added

pivots, streamlined the design and adjusted the suspension. Soon the members of UVM’s Instrumentation & Model Facility will run a stress-strain analysis to address any weak points in the design.

Meanwhile, Scatchard is developing a marketing strategy and seeking investors and a regional manufacturer for the product. Each fat-bike ski attachment, he anticipates, will sell for about $875.

The 34-year-old Morristown resident has received two patents for his creation, which won an award in the October Pitch It, Fab It! competition at the Generator maker space in Burlington.

“He’s just a really knowledgeable entrepreneur,” says Lars Hasselblad Torres, Generator’s executive director, of Scatchard. “He has a well-defined

problem and a well-articulated solution.

It’s not a whim, a lark.”

Scatchard’s idea isn’t entirely novel.

An online search of bike skis (or the more common term “ski bikes”) yields dozens of models: contraptions with two or three skis, with bike tires or tracks; models for sitting or standing or downhill skiing; and motorized versions.

But his product, Scatchard insists, is different. It’s the only ski-bike design, to his knowledge, that has just one ski and can navigate both cross-country ski trails and downhill slopes. And, he adds, it works better. “It’s the feeling you want riding a bike,” he says. “I’m fulfilling needs that other people aren’t meeting.”

For Scatchard, the fat-bike ski is a combination of art, science, calling and career. It’s the product of single-minded

doggedness and an instinct for the needs and interests of the mountain-biking community. He believes his design represents a new wave for winter enthusiasts and stands in the vanguard of Vermont’s outdoor recreation scene.

That confidence may seem at odds with Scatchard’s unassuming persona.

He’s not a natural salesman. He understates almost everything and shies away from the limelight. He habitually ruffles his mop of auburn hair as he pauses to collect his thoughts, resulting in a slightly scruffy appearance.

In the UVM shop, when asked to pose for a photo, Scatchard throws a leg over the seat of his bike ski. His face assumes an expression of concentration. Even surrounded by machinery, he’s on a bike and in his element.

That focus becomes even more evident in the videos on the product’s website, created by Scatchard’s friend and business partner Dan Kirk.

On camera, it’s clear that Scatchard manages his bike with an agility and grace that are difficult for some of us on two feet. In videos scored to upbeat rock, he hurtles through winter forests with joyous audacity, navigating tree-lined trails and plunging through deep powder. And he’s not above the occasional display of gaudy flair, flying over jumps and sending cascades of snow into the air as he speeds through turns.

“When you tell someone about [the fat-bike ski], they’re like, ‘That’s pretty neat,’” says Kirk. “When you show them a video, they … get out their checkbook.”

Scatchard’s prototype will make an appearance in the snow-sports adventure film Warren Miller’s Here, There & Everywhere, which will screen at Middlebury’s Town Hall Theater on November 30 and December 1 and at the Flynn Center for the Performing Arts in Burlington on December 2.

And, most importantly to the inventor, his design will head into production by the end of this winter.

If anyone knows the bike market in Vermont, it’s Scatchard. The Charlotte native has spent the better part of his life in the mountain-bike community.

Scatchard fell into the sport at age 11, influenced by a mountain-biking uncle. Soon after he began racing at 14, he was recruited for the Cannondale Headshok development racing team.

Each winter, Scatchard competed on Champlain Valley Union High School’s Nordic skiing team to get in shape for mountain biking, then waited anxiously for the snow to melt so he could get back out on the trails.

For his senior project, Scatchard embarked on a model of what would become his first fat-bike ski, which he dubbed “bikes on snow.” Initially, his interest in the project stemmed from “winter boredom and wanting to ride my bike,” he says. Scatchard spent his free afternoons in the CVU metal shop, staying late when his teacher would allow it.

That year he constructed a prototype and applied for his first patent on the model before he graduated from high school in May 2000.

While attending UVM, Scatchard raced his mountain bike semi-professionally and worked at bike shops. He volunteered for Fellowship of the Wheel, Chittenden County’s chapter of the Vermont Mountain Bike Association. After graduating in 2005 with a degree in geography, he continued to pursue mountain biking for both livelihood and leisure.

Now, Scatchard and his girlfriend, Mariah Keagy, own and run their own trail-design company, Sinuosity.

Together they have designed and built nearly 40 trail projects across Vermont and New Hampshire.

All the while, Scatchard has been refining the fat-bike ski, funding the project himself. He follows what he calls an “iterative trial and error” process. In practice, that means spending long hours tinkering in his basement and toting a couple of wrenches on every test ride.

Some initially tepid responses to the product left Scatchard discouraged and nearly ready to throw in the towel. But then, in early 2015, he raced his bike in Stowe after a snowstorm.

ride in a straight line.” It was all the motivation he needed to continue his work.

Scatchard has tapped into a zealous audience and a burgeoning mountain-bike industry. Vermont currently boasts about 800 miles of mapped trails; in-the-know locals make use of hundreds more, according to Tom Stuessy, executive director of the Vermont Mountain Bike Association. That’s about 25 percent more trails than when Stuessy started at VMBA in late 2012. The number of the organization’s volunteer-led chapters has doubled over the same period, and membership has more than tripled.

Winter fat-bike riding is on the rise, too. The phone calls Stuessy fields most frequently during the winter, he says, are from bikers seeking recommendations for fat-biking trails. And, he notes, the pastime has fostered a culture of innovation. “Every time you look at the mountain-biking sport, people are looking down the road,” Stuessy says.

Innovation doesn’t necessarily lead to profits. But Scatchard remains convinced he’s created a product that will sell. Last year, he competed with his bike ski in the Fat Bike World Championships in Crested Butte, Colo. (That’s where Miller filmed him flying through fresh powder.)

Scatchard only placed 20th, but after the race, he says, fellow contestants were lining up to try out his rig.

Meantime, videos on YouTube and fatbikeskis.com have garnered more than 750,000 views, says Kirk. The nascent company’s email list includes interested customers from as far away as Switzerland, Scandinavia and Russia. In fact, Scatchard’s biggest worry is keeping up with what he sees as the potential demand.

Scatchard has the work ethic, persistence and relationships to make his design succeed, according to Kirk.

“Brooke’s given so much to the biking scene in Vermont,” he says, “[and] he’s been able to leverage some of those connections to get the word out. If anyone can do it, he’s the one.” m

P

at Palmer isn’t an especially chatty fellow, not at first, anyway.

Like many native Vermonters of his generation — the 69-year-old grew up on a chicken farm in New Haven — he’s economical with his words and not inclined to chitchat. But join Palmer in his barn — or better yet, on one of his horsedrawn winter sleigh rides — and ask about his draft horses, and he warms up faster than a mug of mulled cider.

Come late December and the requisite snowfall, Palmer is the guy who runs the sleigh rides at Shelburne Farms, which continue each weekend until mid-March.

He’s been doing it for more than 20 years now — whenever there was snow on the ground. But Palmer doesn’t describe the job as “work.” For him, dashing through the snow-covered woods and fields of the sprawling estate is about as good as it gets.

Palmer still lives in New Haven, with his wife, Cathy, on their 55-acre Thornapple Farm. A farrier’s daughter who grew up around horses, she learned from an early age how to read the animals

and their ailments. When Palmer travels to a horse auction, he says, he always brings Cathy to help him evaluate the animals before he makes a purchase. “Every horse has a hole in him somehow,” he says, and adds with a smile, “just like people.”

Currently, Palmer owns four draft horses, including one he bought two weeks ago in Topeka, Ind. Whatever “holes” they may have aren’t evident to this reporter during a recent visit to the horse barn. Palmer works exclusively with Percherons, which are among the largest of draft-horse breeds. His biggest measures 18 hands high at the shoulders, or six feet, and weighs more than 2,000 pounds.

All four of Palmer’s horses, whose markings range from snow-white to “fleabitten” gray to jet-black, are as docile as they are powerful.

To demonstrate, he steps into the stall of Jake, an 11-year-old speckled gray gelding, and gently tugs on the animal’s front left leg. The horse obediently lifts it to reveal a hoof and horseshoe of about

the circumference of a dinner plate. The horseshoe is lined with Borium, a superhard metal product that farriers use for added traction on pavement. That’s because, in addition to running the winter sleigh rides, Palmer uses his horses to do residential trash collection several days a week in Bristol and Middlebury.

He first got interested in draft horses several decades ago, Palmer says, because he planned to use them for logging — a project that proved unsuccessful. For a time, the Palmers offered trail rides on their property, but they eventually decided it was too risky putting strangers with little to no riding experience on horseback.

“No matter how good the horse is, sometimes the personalities just don’t click,” Palmer explains. “Giving sleigh rides, I have control of the horses, and people just go along for the ride.”

His horses have been hauling local trash for 19 years, nearly as long as they’ve been pulling sleighs. Palmer got into the former business after reading

about an Oregon man who expanded his conventional trash-hauling business in an unconventional way. One summer, when Palmer’s business had grown large enough to require a second truck, he tried using a pair of draft horses instead.

Then Palmer learned that Bristol’s new town manager didn’t want his road crew doing residential garbage collection anymore and had put the town’s sanitation contract out to bid. Intrigued by the prospect of using his horses, Palmer submitted a bid and won the contract. Today, he picks up trash at about 200 homes in Bristol and, since May 2015, another 250 in Middlebury. Each route takes him about a day to complete.

Is there any advantage to hauling trash with horses instead of trucks? “Other than being fun?” Palmer asks with a chuckle.

“You save money. I can do it cheaper than anybody else.”

Palmer points out that his first trash wagon, which he purchased almost 20 years ago, cost him just $3,000 and is still going strong; his new one, which

he uses in Middlebury, cost $15,000. By comparison, a standard packer garbage truck costs $130,000 to $140,000 and has a life expectancy of 10 years. These days, Palmer leaves one wagon in Bristol and the other in Middlebury, then carts his horses over via trailer in the morning.

Though the garbage route is Palmer’s bread and butter, over the years he’s also been hired to bring the bride and groom to and from wedding ceremonies

herself. “It was absolutely fantastic,” she recalls.

Then, about six years ago, Cross called Palmer a week before Shelburne Farms’ annual Winterfest and offered to help with the sleigh rides. He agreed. “It was colder than cold, but we had so much fun,” she recalls. “After a couple of trips around the farm, I don’t think he ever touched the lines again. He let me drive the whole time.”

Over the years, Palmer estimates he’s taught 20 to 25 young people how to drive draft horses, mostly by allowing them to join him on his trash pickup route. Usually they’re teenagers, though he has taught kids as young as 10.

Despite years of running the same routes over and over again at Shelburne Farms, Palmer says the sleigh rides haven’t lost their charm. He generally takes passengers through the Farms’ Church Woods and back, almost always a windy ride. Along the way, they may spot deer, which seem to have grown accustomed to the horse team. “Even though we have bells, sometimes the deer will stand 10 feet inside the woods and watch us go by,” Palmer says.

Palmer occasionally does moonlit sleigh rides, too, on which he points out the constellations to passengers. “I don’t know if he’s giving them correct information,” says Cross, “but he says it so believably that you think you’ve learned something.”

“People often say, ‘Poor you. You’re out here all day,’” Palmer observes. “But if you’re dressed for it, you’re fine.” A stiff wind often blows in from Lake Champlain, and he advises potential riders to dress even more warmly than they think they should.

Palmer himself can bundle up a little less. He designed and built his sleigh so he drives standing, and maintaining his balance keeps him warm.

“I just love it,” Palmer says. “Best job in the world.” m

in a stylish horse-drawn carriage. In his capacity as a sleigh driver, he notes, he’s also facilitated plenty of weddings.

“I get a lot of guys who will propose to their girlfriends on the sleigh,” Palmer reports. “I bet I’ve had 25 or 30 people [do so] over the years.”

One year around Valentine’s Day, he recalls, a man hired him to stay and give a private sleigh ride after the regular day at Shelburne Farms had ended. Palmer’s customer spent the entire afternoon arranging bagged candles in the snow along the sleigh route. Palmer told his curious passengers that the mood lighting was for a fellow who intended to request his girlfriend’s hand in marriage. “One girl says, ‘Well, if she says no, I’ll say yes!’” Palmer recalls.

Palmer occasionally offers two-mile sleigh rides on his own property in New Haven. Like the rides at Shelburne Farms, these take about a half hour. “Then we give them a hot chocolate back in the house and warm ’em back up,” he says.

Palmer’s enthusiasm for his animals is contagious, as evidenced by the number of local draft-horse drivers who credit him with getting them started. For some young sleigh riders, an interest in the equine begins with his invitation to take the reins.

“There have been so many young people — like, kids 10 years old — who get off the sleigh and are in seventh heaven because they were able to drive the team,” says Jean Cross. An employee of Shelburne Farms, she also serves as treasurer of the Green Mountain Draft Horse Association.

“That’s how he got me,” she adds.

As Cross explains, one summer about 10 years ago, she was watching Palmer mow a field with a draft horse. She was too shy to ask if she could try it, but Palmer noticed her interest and immediately invited her to hop aboard and take the reins. Because the mower had just one seat, Cross drove the team all by

y worst Christmas was the one when I spent hours painstakingly crafting a chestnut, mascarpone and truffle pasta filling from a recipe in The French Laundry Cookbook.. I stretched my pasta dough too thin, and the delicious, pricey mixture spurted out into the cooking water. I wept. Scratch that: I sobbed.

On another memorable holiday, I proudly unwrapped my first goose in preparation for a highheat roasting, only to find it covered in pinfeathers.

Four hours later, I was still hunched over that foul fowl with a pair of greasy tweezers.

My ex had snuck off to the basement to get stoned. The rest of the family was hangry.

(This incident is why, when I later became a goose farmer, we gave each bird the postmortem avian equivalent of a Brazilian wax.)

It wasn’t until I opened my own restaurant, Salt, that I realized holiday cookery is similar to working in a restaurant kitchen, in that both involve larger quantities, careful timing and a fairly extreme ability to multitask. Restaurant cooking gave me the knowledge and skills I needed to pull off family feasts with aplomb.

Winter is coming, and not everybody has the option of apprenticing themselves to a chef in preparation for the holidays, but I’m happy to pass on what I’ve learned.

Here are seven tips for making sumptuous meals without the suffering.

In early September, Texas transplants began serving “Tex-Asian” cuisine at TABLE 19 RESTAURANT & BAR in Proctorsville, just down the mountain from Okemo Mountain Resort.

What exactly is “TexAsian”? “It’s actually our favorite things from both cuisines,” explains business manager JOE EVANS. He co-owns the spot with his wife, chef KATHRYN EVANS, who learned Southeast Asian cookery while living in Myannmar.

In a glass-walled kitchen, she mingles stir-fried yakisoba noodles and Vietnamese bánh xèo with smoky Texas-style brisket, fried chicken, cowboy beans and collards. Live music makes the joint jump on weekends.

In Japan, skiers warm their bellies at ramen trucks and stands that set up shop slope-side and in resort parking lots. Here in Vermont, MOMO and JORDAN ANTONUCCI brought that tradition to Jay Peak two winters ago when they opened their MISO HUNGRY ramen truck just down the mountain in Jay village. This season, the couple will move their operation to Jay Peak Resort and serve noodle bowls and other Japanese snacks from a retired tram car just above the Tram Haus Lodge.

The Antonuccis did not return calls by press time, but their website confirms the move: “The rumors are true,” reads a recent blog post about the tram-car ramen. “The stoke is at an all-time high.”

In the Mad River Valley, Sugarbush Resort is wrapping up major renovations at its Glen House mid-mountain lodge, according to resort communications vice president Candice White.

At a new wooden bar in the restaurant upstairs — which the resort has renamed WALT’S, after Mount Ellen ski-area founder Walt Elliott — skiers and riders will be able to sip craft cocktails and Vermont beers and recharge their batteries with gourmet grilled-cheese sandwiches.

If you suspect your knives are losing their edge, you’re almost certainly right.

Call your local kitchen store and inquire about sharpening, which is always a worthwhile investment. (While you’re there, see about getting some of the other items on this list.)

Then there are the little things: Do you have enough big mixing bowls? Otherwise, you may find yourself stirring so carefully, while flour inevitably powders the counter and your pants. Do you have enough spoons for the soup?

Don’t Put Off Menu Planning The earlier you know what you’re making, the easier it will be to gather your ingredients and tools and to make adjustments when you discover you can’t get that fancy local meat item you were counting on.

To plan your menu, first pick a protein. Consider choosing something slightly out of the ordinary, such as lamb, a standing rib roast or a goose. If the price of top-quality cuts puts you off, remember that braising — cooking in liquid, covered, at a low oven temperature — turns even the cheapest hunks of meat into tender, flavorful delights.

Next, consider seasonal side vegetables. On any given cold-weather holiday, I’ll default to squash, potatoes and Brussels sprouts. Roasted whole carrots are elegant and lovely, especially if you can get multicolored bunches.

Cabbage is inexpensive and hearty and can be sexed up with cream, blue cheese, toasted walnuts, herbs and a few grinds of black pepper.

Finally, pick some “gold star” ingredients to sprinkle into the mix. These are the things that make meals feel sumptuous and decadent.

• Rich dairy items, such as butter, heavy cream, cream cheese and mascarpone • Booze. Mixed into desserts or added to sauces, port, Madeira, sherry or brandy makes any dish more festive.

• Warm spices. Who doesn’t associate

the aromas of cinnamon, ginger and allspice with the holidays? Then there’s nutmeg, a crucial ingredient in everybody’s favorite ‘nog.

• Mushrooms. Eschew the white buttons in favor of crimini, or splurge on oyster or lobster mushrooms.

• Elegant alliums. Supplant or supplement mundane yellow onions with picturesque cipollini, leeks and shallots.

• Shellfish. Oysters and scallops, in particular, feel celebratory. If you’re buying New England seafood, we’re heading into the best time of the year for both.

Once you have a sense of the ingredients you want to use, start to assemble them into appetizers and sides. Mix up flavors and textures. If you’re not sure how to go about that, buy The Flavor Bible: The Essential Guide to Culinary Creativity, Based on the Wisdom of America’s Most Imaginative Chefs, by Karen Page and Andrew Dornenburg. Whether you celebrate in religious or secular fashion, this is one bible that should come in handy.

Make a Prep List and Start Cooking Early In a restaurant kitchen, you can’t just fly by the seat of your ugly, elastic-waistbanded chef pants. You have to make a prep list — a detailed accounting of all the stuff you need to do to feed the people the things.

The more experienced you are in the kitchen, the sparser your prep list can be. If you’re less comfortable at the stove, detail the hell out of it.

Instead of “Mince shallots, 5 m.,” you can write, “Peel and cut up those oniony looking things (don’t forget to use the chef knife, not the paring knife), 20 minutes, 11:14 a.m.”

Once you have your list, decide if you can do any cooking tasks the day before — or even earlier. Cranberry sauce and desserts can be made ahead. So can vegetable or meat stock to be used in gravies and other sauces. Bread can be cubed for stuffing and left out to dry, the better to absorb pan drippings. If you don’t have to do something à la minute, as we say

in the biz, it’s better to do it early. This also gives you a chance to try out fancier items with a backup plan, in case they don’t work out. Pâté, anybody?

Likewise, if you’re brining or doing a dry rub on your holiday meat (or tofu, if you swing that way), you may want to do that several days in advance.

Learn to Cut Up a Bird Unless you’re a vegetarian, knowing how to turn a raw or cooked chicken or turkey deftly into a pile of wings, drumsticks, thighs, breasts and bones is incredibly useful. Find a video on the internet, take a cooking class, or just spend some quality time with a sharp knife and a poultry carcass.

RESTAURANT COOKING GAVE ME THE KNOWLEDGE

AND SKILLS I NEEDED TO PULL OFF FAMILY FEASTS WITH APLOMB.

Buy Yourself Time With Hors d’Oeuvres and a Cheese Plate Appetizers are the key to keeping the ravenous hordes from invading your kitchen and sating themselves on your ingredients. Serve some. If you have treats that can be put out cold or at room temperature, you won’t be stealing precious burner space from other parts of dinner.

The best way to gain culinary time?

A cheese plate. It can be simple — a bargain-basement block of cheddar and some crackers — or it can be an extravagant combo of artisan cheeses, nuts, spiced honey, dried fruits and pickled things. Plus, if people fill up on cheese, there will be more leftovers for you.

Relax Cooking for a bunch of people can be intense, and we all want to do a good job of it. But, after many years, I realized that if I didn’t accept help with an ambitious menu, I might find myself crying over my half-baked cream puffs at an hour when everybody would rather be in bed than eating dessert. As I told the staff at my restaurant, “We’re just cooking for people, not performing surgery.” Rolling with the punches is essential.

The body of the bird will tell you where to cut — look for lines of demarcation. Fat deposits often occur around joints, and I seek them out when I’m butchering. Wiggle different bits to see where they move.

Delegate With Care Which of your relatives are speedy and efficient? Ask them to peel and dice.

Those who don’t have culinary chops can stir pots, pick the leaves off herbs and wash things. If Aunt Mindy is a dreamy perfectionist, have her set the table.

You know who always offers to help.

Decide in advance how you’d like to utilize their particular skill sets.

To that end, pick dishes you feel confident about, sprinkled with little dollops of special holiday goodness. Try one or two new things that excite you.

Stay organized, and clean as you go. (Or, better yet, get somebody else to clean as you go.)

And most of all, remember that joy and harmony are your real goals — far more important than perfectly crisped turkey skin.

“We collect all rinse water and spent grains,” he says. The brewery then trades the resulting feed to two area farms, VERMONT ORGANICS RECLAMATION in St. Albans and JONES FAMILY FARM in Hyde Park, in exchange for local vegetables, beef and pork for the smoker.

The trio hopes to grow more produce, including hops, in raised beds in the green space around the brewery and restaurant.

The goal, says Joyce, is to keep as many ingredients from Vermont, specifically from St. Albans, as possible.

“We’d love to see St. Albans be that next spot, like Pine Street [in Burlington] or Waterbury,” David says, referring to the burgeoning brewpub scenes in both. “Absolutely, St. Albans can handle it.”

St. Albans is slowly becoming a hub for beer and barbecue. This past September, 14TH STAR BREWING began supplementing its brews with an in-house barbecue joint called SMOKIN’ BUTTS BAR-B-Q. Come spring 2017, the town center will get another craft brewery and fully loaded smoker. Meet MILL RIVER BREWING. The new business will move into a former Hands On Car Wash site at 10 Beauregard Drive this December. It’s the brainchild of a family team: brothers DAN and DAVID FITZGERALD will run the brewing side, while JOYCE FITZGERALD, David’s wife, will be the primary owner and driving force behind the brewery’s 48-plus-seat barbecue restaurant.

David and Dan got into brewing in 2013, they say, after an all-grain brewing

seminar at CRAFT BEER CELLAR in Waterbury. A member of a family of professional caterers, Joyce was already well versed in food production; that same year, she began cultivating her interests in barbecue and smoking.

“When the guys and I started talking about a brewery, we knew we wanted to have food in the mix,” she says.

“Partly for responsibility’s sake, partly because food is a gathering place.”

Mill River Brewing will start with a sevenbarrel brewing system, with growler fills and on-site pints to go with Joyce’s smoked ribs and brisket. The cozy postand-beam spot will have bar seats and tables, plus an attached sit-down barbecue restaurant and a seasonal 50-seat biergarten.

David also trains ice cream makers at BEN & JERRY’S; one of the biggest similarities between crafting Chubby Hubby and Mill River beer, he notes, is both businesses’ attention to environmental responsibilities.

ednesday, November 9, 6:30 a.m.: I woke up bleary-eyed after a long night spent watching election results.

Though I’d missed Donald Trump’s victory speech, I’d read that Hillary Clinton had conceded the race, though she’d won the popular vote. Like millions of Americans, I struggled to process this improbable outcome.

My husband went to the kitchen to make coffee. I stayed in bed and reached for my phone: Would we see a recount, like in 2000 when George W. Bush eclipsed Al Gore in similar fashion?

No, we wouldn’t, the major newspapers said. It was over.

Do I still need to work for a living? I wondered. Maybe our president-elect would work such immediate wonders on the economy that I could collect terrific sums of money by lying in bed and looking pretty.

I was sure I could lie in bed for a very long time. Looking pretty? Maybe a stretch.

Alas, I had to be in Colchester — an hour and a half away — in two hours.

I’d agreed to speak to an English class at Saint Michael’s College, where students were writing restaurant reviews to hone their skills in verbal persuasion. Their professor had asked me to discuss how I’d become a food writer. They’d question me about working as a real, live grown-up journalist.

I couldn’t tell them that my highest aspiration at the moment was to become a bed ornament.

I sat up, placed my feet on the floor and stood up. I pulled a bathrobe off the bedpost, swung it over my shoulders and walked with determination to the liquor cabinet in the next room. I opened the cupboard and stared inside.

Do something, my brain said. My hand reached for the nearest bottle — Chartreuse. Using a secret recipe, monks have made this emerald-green tonic in a remote valley in France for nearly 300 years.

I turned the bottle in my hand, imagining such a life.

Drink it, my brain ordered. My fingers unscrewed the cap and tipped the vessel to my lips. A deep gulp flooded my senses with licorice and herbs. The liqueur

Sticky bun and Negroni Popper at Monarch & the Milkweed

warmed me, relaxing my body from the inside out. My mind calmed enough to get dressed.

I armored myself in a long wool cape with an oversize hood. I got in my car and drove north. In class, many of the students looked as bewildered as I felt. But our conversation — about eating critically, and writing through a subjective experience without getting too personal — seemed like a welcome distraction to all.

After class, still hiding under the hooded cape, I drove toward my office in Burlington’s South End. In Winooski, I paused for pedestrians at the bottom of the traffic circle.

In profile, the young woman looked to be African, or at least of African descent.

Her face was wide and round and framed by a close-fitting head scarf that flowed to a loose cowl over her winter jacket. Her skin was as dark as raw umber.

Behind her, an older man — also black — crossed slowly, aided by a cane.

I let myself wonder what the election’s outcome might mean to them. Were they thinking about it right now, as I was?

Booze. More booze. The self-preserving side of my brain chimed in: And probably something to eat.

I climbed the hill into Burlington and detoured to City Market/Onion River Co-op. For once, the co-op parking fairies

smiled on me. A genius grocery list began to take form in my head: tea, Vermont corn tortillas…

I grabbed the tea and wandered past the dairy and meat. I paused at the beer cooler. Cans of Goodwater Brewery’s Hoppy Side of Pale. Been meaning to try that, I thought, and grabbed a sixer.

Then, What’s this barrel-aged amber

AS I SAT THERE DRINKING THAT TINY, BITTER COCKTAIL

24 HOURS LATER, THOSE PICTURES SEEMED A WORLD AWAY. mead from Groennfell Meadery? Sounds neat — I’ll take it.

I lingered over choosing four bottles of wine. That Côtes du Rhône looked nice — especially for the low price — and the on-sale Rioja with the screaming, wildhaired woman on the label was totally speaking my language.

I was thankful that the cashier seemed unfazed by selling a basketfull of booze to a woman in a red, hooded cloak at 10:30 a.m. on a Wednesday.

I left feeling fortified against whatever

would come but also defeated that I’d have to wait to drink my purchases.

Where to get a cocktail at this hour?

A few weeks ago, Monarch & the Milkweed began serving sticky buns starting at 7:30 a.m. daily. And, thanks to the café’s counter-service format, ordering, paying and receiving could occur in a single transaction. I’d barely have to talk to anyone.

Inside the restaurant, a glass case held miniature cakes and sweets glazed with icing, doughnuts spangled with colored sprinkles and, thank God, sticky buns.

“May I have a sticky bun?” I asked the long-haired twentysomething at the register.

“Of course,” he said. “Anything else?”

“Where are your cocktails?” I turned over the postcard menu.

“There,” he said, pointing toward the bottom of the page.

I couldn’t stomach a Bloody Mary. And I would have preferred to throw a glass of Champagne at the wall than to drink either of the menu’s twinkle-toes cava cocktails.

“I’ll take a Negroni Popper,” I said. The listed ingredients were standard Negroni — strong booze, vinous booze, bittersweet booze. I was willing to gamble $5 on whatever the “popper” part was.

Counterman slid a prim sticky bun onto a plate. Behind him, a woman placed a little glass on the counter, then pulled what looked like an old-fashioned medicine bottle from the cooler.

I guessed that the red liquid in the bottle was my drink. I picked it up and wandered to one of the marble tables against the restaurant’s south wall.

With some effort, I sidled onto the banquette.

I brought the bottle to my lips. When it hesitated to pour, I upended the drink into the glass. The miniature beverage was cold and bitter and perfect.

My fingers uncoiled the outer layer of the sticky bun and pulled away beads of crystalline cream-cheese glaze and placed them on my tongue to melt. Then the pastry: butter-crisp crunch, cinnamony sweetness, not heavy. The petite,

I nibbled the pastry between cocktail sips, slowly becoming less numb and discovering I was actually quite hungry.

I devoured the bun’s warm and gooey insides in a few greedy bites.

I scrolled through Instagram, craving contact with the outside world. But I still couldn’t face the real people around me, for reasons I didn’t understand.

On my way out of town that afternoon, I drove by the turn that would take me home. I reached the Winooski traffic circle, I parked on Main Street and walked into Misery Loves Co. I asked bartender Mike Dunn for a cocktail made with whiskey and Concord grape.

“I just poured the last one,” he said, explaining that he’d run out of juice. “Can I make you a different whiskey cocktail?”

Dunn’s smile told me he had one in mind.

“That’d be great,” I said, happy to let him do the thinking.

He strained my drink into a pressed glass coupe and placed it on the bar with-

The glass was edged with cranberry dust, a tart and salty intro to a semisweet, rosy blend of bourbon, cranberry and herbal old-world aperitifs. Called Sassamanash, the drink’s name means “cranberry” in the Algonquin native tongue.

Within minutes, the seats around me had filled, as friends washed away the day with cold beverages and oysters on ice.

At the end of the bar I drank, feeling stealthy beneath my hooded cloak.

The cocktail went down quickly. I was tempted to order another but abstained, facing a long drive home. Of course, I knew that soaking my sorrows in liquor wouldn’t resolve the pain I was feeling.

Nor was it a viable long-term coping strategy. But on Wednesday, November 9, the whiskey helped. And, quiet in the company of strangers, I didn’t need to engage in conversation to feel less alone. m

my feed. I scrolled through photos of women I love dearly, who’d donned pantsuits and red lipstick to cast their votes. They beamed jubilant smiles into the camera, letting the world know they’d spoken.

I’d posted a similar photo.

Intellectually, I wasn’t enamored with either candidate. So I was surprised at how elated I felt after voting. Buoyed by the hope and pride I’d placed in my ballot, I’d snapped a picture to celebrate the moment.

As I sat there drinking that tiny, bitter cocktail 24 hours later, those pictures seemed a world away. The black hole I’d felt in my rib cage earlier that morning returned. No time like the present to go to work.

I gathered my things, steeled my upper lip and downed the remainder of my drink.

Instead of the usual office chatter, the mood was subdued and somber, as if someone had died. I canceled my dinner plans in favor of heading home early. Tomorrow would be better — right?

Season’s Greetings Some would say it’s never too early to haul out the holly, deck the halls and rock around the Christmas tree. Those who just can’t wait to start jingling all the way can dive into the spirit of the season with Northern Stage’s production of the classic holiday play A Christmas Carol. Broadway veteran Bill Kux stars as Ebenezer Scrooge in this adaptation of Charles Dickens’ story of ghosts, greed and, ultimately, redemption and benevolence. As director Peter Hackett says in a press release, Dickens “believed that it was every person’s responsibility to watch out for his neighbor, because in the end we are, as human beings, all on the same journey.” Now, that’s what we call Christmas spirit.

Four minds from three generations find common ground in the music of Mr. Sun. Seasoned and celebrated fiddler Darol Anger is joined by bass player Ethan Jodziewicz, guitarist Grant Gordy and mandolin master Joe Walsh, formerly of the bluegrass ensemble the Gibson Brothers, in a repertoire of American string band music. With each member of the Boston-based band bringing his experience to the table, the foursome strikes a chord with fans of swing, jazz and bluegrass sounds. The quartet picks and strums selections from its 2015 release The People Need Light, described by the Lonesome Road Review as “an album of masterfully played acoustic sounds.”

But it kind of edged as the progenitors of mathcore. lacks purpose other than, “This is what That genre subset combines the techni- we do.” So it seems like everything has cal precision and wizardry of prog rock more meaning now.

WITH DILLINGER,

EVERY RUMOR IS TRUE.

SD: Being able to arrive at that decision on your own terms must feel good, because that’s not often the case for most bands.

BW: Yeah. You see bands that kind of just dwindle away and then break up until they feel they can pack rooms again.

We’re packing rooms now. So it doesn’t have to be some kind of a gimmick. It really just is making a record and touring in support of it. But we know it will boil down to an end.

SD: Looking back on the band, what are you most proud of?

BW: Just that we managed to be relevant and grow continually, slowly over time and completely outside of trends or whatever else was going on. So many things come and go. I started this band before the internet was a huge part of everything. So to see all of this happen and stay relevant and continue to put out music that I think feels fresh and important is something I’m really proud of.

SD: You talked about trends. I think a lot of people would point to Dillinger as trendsetters.

BW: Well, if we’re a trend, I think the music industry is in for more of a recession than it already is. We’re

SD: I guess I meant that on more of a niche level.

BW: It’s interesting. I do talks on art business and the music business often.

And one of the examples I give is that a band like Dillinger has always been honest. And because of that, we’ve been able to go on our own trajectory and keep slowly rising and continuing, while so many other bands and artists keep spiking up and down. We may never be as big as those other bands were at one point. But we’ve been able to make a career and continue to grow, literally.

Our past two albums were our most successful. And that’s something that speaks volumes.

SD: It’s certainly a more sustainable model. Do you have thoughts or hopes for what the legacy of Dillinger will be?

BW: I think the fact that, most likely, someone in a thousand years will hear a Dillinger song somewhere. That’s pretty crazy to me. Making something out of nothing is why I do it. Taking air and turning it into a tangible thing that people have and listen to, that’s super magical. So the thought of someone being able to hear Dillinger Escape Plan at some point way in the future is crazy.

Who knows what it will sound like to them? But I certainly think that we’re a band that continues to be opening a door in some way, at a time when there is really a lot of that happening. So, hopefully, that’s something that stays imprinted on us as part of our legacy.

SD: Do you have any regrets about the band?

BW: That’s hard to say. Everything that happens brings you where you are.

There have been a lot of hard times. But I don’t regret any of it. I’ve had a really hard but kickass, interesting life.

SD: What are your post-Dillinger plans?

BW: That might speak more to regret.

This is the end point of our young lives, where we still want to do these things EXIT STRATEGY

But I’ve found that it exists, at least in small doses, if you know where to look.

I have found solace in an old friend’s kitchen, discussing politics while she fed her young son and patiently attempted to coax the word “Dada” out of him — he’s kinda stuck on “Mama” at the moment, but he’s trying.

I’ve found it in a long talk with my father, a man whose compassion and intellect I profoundly admire. I have found it in my dear, elderly dog, who rests his head gently on my lap as I

I have found it in the warm embrace of another dear friend on a cold night in a South End parking lot while Patsy Cline played somewhere in the distance.

I found it playing Farkle with my goofy nephews, who are somehow way better at that old bar dice game than a 4- and 7-year-old should be.

And I have found it in music and in our local music community.

In times of cultural crisis, we often turn to artists, if not for answers then for compassion, understanding and a sense of belonging. That’s true on a large scale — look back no farther than the music, film and literature of the Vietnam War era, for example.

But it’s true close to home, too. It’s not hyperbole to suggest that our local artists will play a critically important role, serving as an emotional foundation and moral compass, for the months and years ahead.

Take, for example, the work of JEFFREY ELLIS, aka MYCELIUM MC. For several years now, the local poet and rapper has organized a monthly-ish event called Word!Craft. Held in various locations around the state, the series is intended as an inclusive celebration of words, both written and spoken. It features poets, rappers

I can imagine her feelings because, as the writer of that story, I felt somewhat embarrassed myself. Not because Wright and her band were undeserving of the spotlight. But because it seemed FORTUNE frivolous to focus on music when so FEIMSTER many were suddenly experiencing real fear and pain.

shared many times over on social media by those desperately looking for some way to help.

The letters began arriving early this week. “And there are lots of joyful tears,” says Gustafson.

But as Gustafson points out, there are refugee students and students of color in every school in the city — and all over the state — all of whom need our support. If you’re so inclined, you are encouraged to send letters to Dan Bolles, c/o Seven Days, 255 S. Champlain St., Suite 5, Burlington, VT 05401, and Gustafson will distribute them to schools in Burlington.

Outside the Burlington area, you could also contact your local school to ask what you can do to offer your support.

But art and action don’t need to be explicitly political to have great power.

And here I’m thinking of one KAT WRIGHT. The rosy leader of the INDOMITABLE SOUL BAND was the subject of last week’s Seven Days cover story. We didn’t plan it this way — in fact, we ran the story a week early due to a scheduling quirk.

But it did not go unnoticed in our office that, on the day after America would ostensibly elect its first woman president, our cover would picture a strong, passionate and talented young local woman. We thought it would be a stroke of serendipity. We were wrong.

Typically, when your band is featured on the cover of this paper, it’s cause for celebration. But I can only imagine Wright’s pride was dimmed, if not outright shattered, by seeing her face on newsstands around the state while so many around us despaired.

and writers of all backgrounds and abilities coming together to share their thoughts, experiences and art.

Though it’s not part of the Word!Craft series, this Friday, November 18, Ellis has organized an event with similarly supportive aspirations: Central Vermont Stands With Standing Rock.

The alcohol-free show takes place at Christ Episcopal Church in Montpelier and features a wide array of activities and entertainment, from acupuncture and massage to a water ceremony and an ecstatic dance. The evening closes with appearances by some of the state’s finest conscious hip-hop artists: BOOMSLANG, SELF PORTRAIT, expat COLBY STILTZ, the ECOTONES and FOREST GRAY. Proceeds from the event will be sent to companies that are building yurts at the Standing Rock reservation in North Dakota. Ellis and co. will also accept donations to help with travel costs for those looking to join the pipeline protests there. Additionally, they’ll accept warm clothing, canned food and dry goods to aid local First Nation citizens.

You can find evidence of artists’ impact on our community in subtler ways, as well. Take, for another example, SWALE’s AMANDA GUSTAFSON. When she’s not co-fronting one of Burlington’s most admired bands, she’s a teacher at a local elementary school with a significant refugee population.

The day after the election, she invited her friends on social media to mail letters and drawings of support to her students, many of whom now fear for their future and safety here. It was a small but powerful gesture. And it was

REVIEW this Tyler Daniel Bean, On Days Soon to Pass

he’s managed to objectify his struggles and encase them in a nine-track offering of gloomy “heavy indie.” Elements of metal, shoegaze and hard rock paint a bleak tapestry of inner turmoil.

Days has a fuller, more realized sound than its more raw full-length predecessor, 2012’s Longing. This is not to say that Days isn’t quite raw itself, because it is. Perhaps Bean’s strong backing band helps to create the rich

atmosphere. Vocalist Jess McDermott, of the similarly angsty band the New & Very Welcome, sings nearly all of her backing vocals in unison with Bean’s. She remains his lingering shadow throughout, an echo of the dark thoughts that haunt him. The Coydogs’ Shannon Stott-Rigsbee’s violin is eerie and funereal, adding refinement to songs that often border on sludgy.

The dark onslaught begins moments after hitting play on the opening track, “Archibald Street.” Like a death march, distorted guitars and militant drums escort Bean, and the listener, to the edge of composure within seconds.

Trembling, Bean sings, “Just hoping it gets better / does it ever get better?”

The sentiment is somewhat on the nose, and it’s rooted in pure truth.

Those who suffer from depression would gladly give up everything to hear

a reply to that perennially unanswered question.

“Willow I” and “Willow II” are a combined dark ode to Bean’s dearly departed dog, Willow. On part one, his inclinations are made explicit: “My body / I don’t want it anymore.” On part two, he’s still in mourning: “And I pet her / And I tell her / Without you / I can’t make sense of my life.” The track builds to a cacophonous, wall-of-sound climax.

For all of the doom and gloom on Days, it seems that Bean is finding ways to deal. The album title itself suggests that, even when things are miserable and the sun hides behind a thick layer of gray, the day will pass. And that can be enough to keep us going.

On Days Soon to Pass is available on Friday, November 18, at tylerdanielbean. bandcamp.com.

are one such band carrying the tiedyed flag onward, as evidenced by their recently released self-titled EP. But by skewing hard toward funk and, at times, even jazz, the septet reveals ambition beyond regurgitating tired jam templates. Front woman Emily Jane Haley sings with weathered beauty; her distinctive timbre steers less

dynamic songs away from cliché. Along with the horn section of Will Pearl, Sonja Poirier and Brad Schauerman, Haley helps elevate the band above its occasionally generic sound.

Skill abounds on the EP. Arrangements are tight and the production adequately captures the band’s full sound as well as Haley’s voice. Rarely do Drunk & In the Woods sound like a band without aim. They know exactly what they are: a rollicking live act that can get the fans dancing.

They’ve strived to put that sound and energy on record.

The problem is that much of the music here could be heard coming from a thousand summer festival stages. For every highlight such as “Metaphysical Funk,” with its Sun Ra horn vibes and Henry Clark’s snarling electric mandolin, there are songs such as “Goeie Klank” and “Dead

Battery.” Just as things start to get interesting, the band devolves into so much noodling, you think you’re in a ramen restaurant.

That frustration is amplified by the efficient excellence of “Don’t Fade Away,” the EP’s standout and closing track. Here the band moves effortlessly into smooth funk, sensuously grooving under Haley’s melody as she sings, “You are the one thing that has got to stay / don’t fade away, not tonight.”

Moments such as these elevate the band out of conformity and allow us to see Drunk & In the Woods’ potential.

Here’s hoping they continue moving in that direction.

Drunk & In the Woods’ selftitled EP is available now at drunkandinthewoods.bandcamp. com. The band plays on Wednesday, November 16, at Nectar’s in Burlington.

We are rapidly approaching winter’s dark onset. To sleep in on a Saturday morning in January is to lose half a day.

Seasonal affective disorder will take its inevitable, annual hold. Though it’s a dark time, spring promises a way out for the light deprived. But the coming year remains dark for those who suffer from depression year-round.

Burlington’s Tyler Daniel Bean is one such sufferer. His struggles with depression are well-documented on his most recent LP, On Days Soon to Pass. He’s even come close to giving up on life entirely. But rather than fully succumbing to his internal darkness,

There was a time not that long ago when Burlington and the surrounding music scene was firmly encrusted in granola. Following the 1990s indierock bloom, Deadheads and Phish fans spread like wildfire, staking their claim to the Queen City’s genre throne. (Said throne exists. It’s made from thousands of guitars and turntables stuck together, à la the Iron Throne from “Game of Thrones.”) Eventually, the scene opened up and moved back toward eclecticism.

But the ghosts of those days linger on stages all around the city and state. Jam music still holds a firm influence on the local scene, in Burlington and beyond.

SD: Last question: What is the craziest thing that you’ve seen Greg Puciato do onstage?

BW: It’s so weird. People notice things that happen in a video or a picture, but crazy stuff has been happening since day one, before Greg was even in this band.

It’s almost like you join the band and it just takes you. Dillinger has a life of its own.

I remember at the beginning, we were playing small places, coffee places.

This old dude was playing Scrabble and an old singer ran out and jumped on the table and destroyed the Scrabble game.

SUN.20 // JONATHAN RICHMAN WITH TOMMY LARKINS [ROCK]

There was a ceiling that caught on fire.

Lots of things have caught on fire. And when Greg joined, it just continued. So every night is crazy. People see things on video, but none of those things on video are probably as crazy as the other nights.

Obviously, Greg taking a shit onstage at Reading Festival was pretty gnarly.

That doesn’t happen every day. But is that crazy? I don’t know. We’ve gotten in full fistfights onstage. But the truth is, there are always rumors about bands.

You hear about these legendary shows before the internet where there was, like, a riot. But there probably was not

a riot. It was probably two kids that got arrested. But it was like a game of Telephone, and by the time the story got from one coast to the other, it was this insane, exaggerated thing.

With Dillinger, every rumor is true.

Every story is true, and it’s usually under-exaggerated. It was actually probably worse.

“˜ e Matryoshka Dolls”

PHOTOS COURTESY OF HOOD DOWNTOWN

aetitia Soulier’s richly detailed color photographs inaugurate the Dartmouth College Hood Museum of Art’s new gallery space, the Hood Downtown, on Main Street in Hanover, N.H. The French artist’s exhibition is the first of 10 that will be shown during the museum’s three-year closure for expansion and renovation.

Soulier’s photographs are full of intrigue and never what they seem to be.

What they actually are and how they were made are for inquisitive viewers to discover. If “Laetitia Soulier: The Fractal Architectures” sounds like a riddle, it is. The photographs show a world that doesn’t exist, although real people and real objects occupy it.

Born in 1978 in Bordeaux, France, Soulier earned undergraduate and graduate degrees in art, another degree in philosophy, and a second master’s in photography and studio lighting. She currently lives in New York City and exhibits her work internationally.

Her Hood Downtown show includes seven large-scale photographs and scale models from two series, “The Matryoshka Dolls” and “The Square Roots.” The former employs Russian nesting dolls as inspiration and source material. Soulier has created a pattern of matryoshka shapes of various sizes based on fractals, which repeat seemingly to infinity. That pattern even reappears in the form of wallpaper on the gallery walls; the repetition is both mesmerizing and disorienting.

“Self-Portrait”

For her photographs, Soulier first handcrafts models, which she uses as “sets.” She then incorporates children into these small environments. Far too big for the sets, they appear to be young giants, or larger-than-life lords of the manor. Both children in these photos are 8 years old, the age when the imaginary begins to take a backseat to logic and reality. Soulier perhaps intends their presence as a metaphor for growing up and leaving childhood behind.

The results of this mind-bending manipulation are huge photographs — 40 by 80 inches each — unlike anything viewers have seen before. Granted, M.C. Escher’s mathematically inspired

woodcuts and lithographs may come to mind. So might the logical yet fantastical narratives of authors Lewis Carroll (Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland) and Jonathan Swift (Gulliver’s Travels).

With few exceptions, Soulier created all the pieces that compose her miniature sets. She uses traditional craft techniques, such as steam-bending wood to create curved wooden chair backs and a circular stairway. Once she has photographed her tableaux, she dismantles the sets. Soulier often reuses pieces such as a spinning wheel or a wall clock, but each photograph requires the construction of an entirely new set — a tiny environment with its

herself a photographer, and the making of all the pieces that go into it is just a means to an end.”

The set pieces that Soulier does not construct include small trees, vines and other leafy plants. A full-scale dresser in “Self Portrait” is another exception.

This photograph is an anomaly — not part of the matryoshka series, but about it. Soulier appears on a set with red-andwhite matryoshka wallpaper. That wallpaper is pulled back to reveal another reality — a scene filled with scaffolds, pipes, tripods and a camera. Like the Wizard of Oz, she has come from behind the scenes to stand before the audience.

She is both the photographer and the subject.

Soulier challenges our eyes, our brains and even our sense of what is real. The persistence of that questioning — what is true, what is false? — grips us long after we exit through the gallery’s glass doors and back into the real world. m

movies Peter and the Farm ★★★★

T

his most unusual movie opens with a drive down a road in Springfield, Vt. The frame is filled with majestic mountains and foliage fit for a postcard. It could be footage for a tourism department TV spot — only our destination isn’t some visitor-friendly paradise but one man’s private hell. Welcome to Mile Hill Farm.

Its owner is the subject of this awardwinning documentary from director Tony Stone (Severed Ways). From the moment we arrive on the 187-acre property, Peter Dunning addresses the camera. Over the course of one year — which Maxwell Paparella has masterfully edited into 92 often-mesmerizing minutes — the farmer tells his story.

In this chapter of his life, the organic farm is virtually a one-man operation. Dunning proves to be anything but a traditional talking head. Stone and his crew scramble to keep up with the 68-year-old as he performs an endless cycle of demanding duties and chores.

We pick up bits and pieces of Dunning’s autobiography between scenes of him slaughtering a lamb, slopping hogs, reaching deep into a cow to facilitate a birth, plowing, planting, repairing machines. “I care more about the farm than me,” he states. As the

facts of his life are revealed, the sentiment takes on dark ramifications.

Why is the farm a one-man operation?

Where is everybody? Dunning bought the place in 1978, when he was 33. A painting major who minored in sculpture, he had a wife and the romantic notion that they’d farm half the year and make art the other half. They had children, and the dream seemed within reach. Then a grisly power-saw accident nearly severed Dunning’s hand. He was left with a gnarled paw and the realization that his days as an artist were over. His days as an angry alcoholic, though, were only beginning. Over time, his behavior drove his family away.

Dunning is not your father’s farmer. A fair poet and something of a philosopher, he’s fascinating company — even when, in the dead of winter, he confesses to getting up twice a night to chug rum to keep the DTs at bay. When an off-camera voice suggests rehab, Dunning replies that it’s either that “or hanging from the bathroom door ... I’m living in hell.”

By the end of the movie, however, Dunning has succumbed to neither of those fates. The viewer is left with questions about how the filmmaker found this singular subject, how much of what we see is at

GRIM REAPER Tony Stone’s latest is a character study of a troubled Vermont homesteader who looks back on his life with a mixture of dark humor and deep regret.

least in part a performance, and what’s become of Dunning since shooting wrapped.

As far as I know, this is the only review to provide answers.

Research turned up a Q&A with Stone taped last April, following a screening of the film at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. We learn that Stone has known Peter since the former was 9 (his parents discussed art with Dunning at the Brattleboro Farmers Market). In fact, Dunning acted in Stone’s 2009 movie Out of Our Minds. “He’s a performer,” Stone says with a smile. The most unexpected revelation: Stone didn’t propose making the documentary to Peter.

Peter proposed it to him. He pitched him on

documenting his suicide. “Friends say he’s always cried wolf,” Stone admits.

For the tale of a tortured soul, the film has a surprisingly happy real-life ending. Dunning has gone from bit player to star of an acclaimed motion picture. In an even less likely twist of fate, the man who once dreamed of being an artist has made it to MOMA after all. He attended the tony showing at the prestigious venue.

Don’t cry for Peter Dunning. The fact is, he hasn’t been this happy in decades. Not much chance of him buying the farm.

Arrival ★★★★★

A

liens have landed — or, rather, simply appeared — at 12 spots across the globe. They aren’t smashing cities or shooting ray guns, but they haven’t yet clarified their intentions not to do so. As linguistics professor Louise Banks (Amy Adams) stands in her classroom watching cable news go berserk, director Denis Villeneuve doesn’t show us what she’s seeing. Instead, he holds the camera on her face, letting us watch her process. To Louise, who moves through the world as if life has already battered her, the aliens’ arrival is less a disaster than an opportunity.

That shot is indicative of the approach that the Québec-born director (Prisoners, Sicario) takes throughout this brainy science-fiction film. We don’t get a good look at an alien craft until Louise arrives at one in Montana, having been enlisted by the U.S. government to attempt communication with the occupants. We see the craft’s interior through her eyes, too, in a masterfully paced scene that mixes the wonder of Close Encounters of the Third Kind with the crushing dread and disorientation of a horror film. While computer effects are used more sparingly here than in most Hollywood SF, the aliens never feel less than, well, alien.

That’s a problem for the world’s governments, which must solve the enigma of this arrival as markets tumble and terrified Earthlings loot stores and hoard canned goods. If the aliens come in peace, why can’t they just say so?

WRITING ON THE WALL Adams finds alien communication difficult to decipher in Villeneuve’s heady, challenging sci-fi flick.

With the help of physicist Ian Donnelly (Jeremy Renner), Louise soon learns that the aliens converse not in sounds but in starkly beautiful pictographs that reflect a view of the world radically different from our own.

Deciphering those messages will change her on a fundamental level — and, in the process, change our view of her story.

Based on a short story by Ted Chiang, Arrival sneakily revisits some of the motifs and tactics of Villeneuve’s 2013 art-house flick

Enemy. (That strange film featured surreal images of giant spiders looming over Toronto; in Arrival, the aliens are towering heptapods.) Arrival is a far more accessible watch than Enemy. But viewers who expect an action-driven blockbuster like Gravity or The Martian may be disappointed, even though it shares those movies’ procedural approach to their genre.

While Louise does have to race against a ticking clock — the threat that world lead-

ers will decide to attack the newcomers — the focus here is on communication, not survival. Instead of explosions, be prepared for lots of shots of Adams and Renner poring over screens and symbols. A better point of comparison might be Contact, or even 2001: A Space Odyssey — films that used alien encounters to invite us to bend our heads around the paradoxes of being human.

Villeneuve doesn’t always integrate the more conventional action elements of Arrival successfully with its headier, weird ones, and some viewers may leave feeling let down by the lack of a traditional climax. For those who feel the emotional weight of Louise’s story, however, Arrival pays off in a big way.

Adams makes us believe in her character’s need to communicate with these unknown life forms, and the script fully justifies the film’s tight focus on her personal journey.

This is not just one more movie about a sadsack protagonist finding redemption by using her expertise to save others. Rather, it’s about how finding common ground with others can change our view of ourselves forever, in ways both wonderful and tragic.

Whether or not you find that message a tad optimistic for this point in history, Arrival rewards close viewing and open eyes.

Suspend your disbelief at key moments, and it may just sweep you into its moody, elegiac thrall.

SEVEN DAYS

This second m vie from director Barry Jenkins (Medicine for Melancholy) doesn't have a snappy concept or a "hook" on its side. Plain and simple, it's a drama about the boyhood and coming of age of a gay black man in Miami, with three actors portraying him at three different stages of life. But reviews of this character study have been rapturous, with many critics already placing it among the top 10 films of 2016. Th Boston Globe says you'll "walk out feeling dazed," and the New York Times calls Moonlight "a hard look at American reality and a poem written in light, music and vivid human faces."

See it starting Friday at the Savoy Theater in Montpelier and Merri l's Roxy Cinemas in Burlington.

REAL FREE WILL ASTROLOGY BY ROB BREZSNY NOVEMBER 17-23

their hands.” You shouldn’t feel shame, the article said, if you’re enjoying a hoagie but suddenly feel an inexplicable yearning for a BLT or pastrami on rye. While I appreciate this reassuring counsel, I don’t think it applies to you in the coming weeks. In my opinion, you have a sacred duty to be unwaveringly faithful, both in your imagination and your actual behavior — as much for your own sake as for others’. I advise you to cultivate an up-to-date affection for and commitment to what you actually have and not indulge in obsessive fantasies about what-ifs.

SCORPIO OCT. 23-NOV. 21:

Does the word “revolution” have any useful meaning? Or has it been invoked by so many fanatics with such melodramatic agendas that it has lost its value? In accordance with your astrological omens, I suggest we give it another chance. I think it deserves a cozy spot in your life during the next few months. As for what exactly that entails, let’s call on author Rebecca Solnit for inspiration.

She says, “I still think the [real] revolution is to make the world safe for poetry, meandering, for the frail and vulnerable, the rare and obscure, the impractical and local and small.”

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): The Onion, my favorite news source, reported that “It’s perfectly natural for people to fantasize about sandwiches other than the one currently in

liver the contents of this horoscope without a disclaimer. Unless you are an extremely ethical person with a vivid streak of empathy, you might be prone to abuse the information I’m about to present. So please ignore it unless you can responsibly employ the concepts of benevolent mischief and tricky blessings and cathartic shenanigans. Ready? Here’s your oracle: Now is a favorable time for grayer truths, wilder leaps of the imagination, more useful bullshit, funnier enigmas and more outlandish stories seasoned with crazy wisdom.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Kavachi is an underwater volcano in the southwest Pacific Ocean. It erupts periodically and, in general, makes the surrounding water so hot and acidic that human divers must avoid it. And yet some hardy species live there, including crabs, jellyfish, stingrays and sharks. What adaptations and strategies enable them to thrive in such an extreme environment? Scientists don’t know. I’m going to draw a comparison between you and the resourceful creatures living near Kavachi. In the coming weeks, I bet you’ll flourish in circumstances that normal people might find daunting.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Seventeenth-century British people used the now-obsolete word “firkytoodle.” It meant “cuddling and snuggling accompanied by leisurely experiments in smooching, fondling, licking and sweet dirty talk.” The coming weeks will be prime time for you to carry out extensive experiments in this activity. But here’s an interesting question:

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Here’s an experiment worth trying: Reach back into the past to find a remedy for what’s bugging you now. In other words, seek out an old, perhaps even partially forgotten influence to resolve a current dilemma that has resisted your efforts to master it. This is one time when it may make good sense to temporarily resurrect a lost dream. You could energize your future by drawing inspiration from possibilities that might have been but never were.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): By the time he died at the age of 87 in 1983, free thinker Buckminster Fuller had licensed his inventions to more than 100 companies. But along the way, he often had to be patient as he waited for the world to be ready for his visionary creations. He was ahead of his time, dreaming up things that would be needed before anyone knew they’d be needed.

I encourage you to be like him in the coming weeks, Libra. Try to anticipate the future. Generate possibilities that people are not yet ripe to accept, but will eventually be ready to embrace.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “We all

have ghosts inside us, and it’s better when they speak than when they don’t,” wrote author Siri Hustvedt. The good news, Sagittarius, is that in recent weeks your personal ghosts have been discoursing at length. They have offered their interpretation of your life’s central mysteries and have provided twists on old stories you thought you had all figured out. The bad news is that they don’t seem to want to shut up. Also, less than 25 percent of what they have been asserting is actually true or useful. But here’s the fantastic news: Thoseghosts have delivered ev-

erything you need to know for now and will obey if you tell them to take an extended vacation.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): In the fil Bruce Almighty, Morgan Freeman plays the role of God, and Capricorn actor Jim Carrey is a frustrated reporter named Bruce Nolan. After Nolan bemoans his rocky fate and blames it on God’s ineptitude, the Supreme Being reaches out by phone. (His number is 716-776-2323.)

A series of conversations and negotiations ensues, leading Nolan on roller-coaster adventures that ultimately result in a mostly happy ending. According to my reading of the astrological omens, you Capricorns will have an unusually high chance of making fruitful contact with a Higher Power or Illuminating Source in the coming weeks. I doubt that 716-776-2323 is the right contact information. But if you trust your intuition, I bet you’ll make the connection.

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Some spiders are both construction workers and artists. The webs they spin are not just strong and functional, but also feature decorative elements called “stabilimenta.” These may be as simple as zigzags or as complex as spiral whorls. Biologists say the stabilimenta draw prey to specific locations, help the spider hide and render the overall stability of the web more robust. As you enter the web-building phase of your cycle, Aquarius, I suggest that you include your own version of attractive stabilimenta. Your purpose, of course, is not to catch prey, but to bolster your network and invigorate your support system. Be artful as well as practical. (Thanks to Mother Nature Network’s Jaymi Heimbuch for info on stabilimenta.)

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): “Aren’t there parts of ourselves that are just better left unfed?” asked Piscean author David Foster Wallace. I propose that we make that one of your two keynotes during the next four weeks.

Here’s a second keynote: As you become more and more skilled at not fueling the parts of yourself that are better left unfed, you will have a growing knack for identifying the parts of yourself that should be well-fed. Feed them with care and artistry!

SEVENDAYSVT.COM

ARIES (March 21-April 19): There is a 97 percent chance that you will not engage in the following activities within the next 30 days: naked skydiving, tightrope walking between two skyscrapers, getting drunk on a mountaintop, taking ayahuasca with Peruvian shamans in a remote rural hut or dancing ecstatically in a muddy pit of snakes. However, I suspect that you will be involved in almost equally exotic exploits — although less risky ones — that will require you to summon more pluck and improvisational skill than you knew you had.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): I hesitate to de-

Will the near future also be a favorable phase for record levels of orgasmic release? The answer: maybe, but if and only if you pursue firkytoodle as an end in itself; if and only if you relish the teasing and playing as if they were ultimate rewards and don’t relegate them to being merely preliminary acts for pleasures that are supposedly bigger and better. P.S. These same principles apply not just to your intimate connections, but to everything else in your life, as well. Enjoying the journey is as important as reaching a destination.

Signed,

Dear Single Mom,

Single Mom

My stance is, if there’s any sexual activity going on between them, that would be illegal in many other states. At 16, your daughter is just old enough to give legal consent in Vermont. Sex or not, her relationship still sounds sketchy AF. The enormous responsibili y of parenting rests solely on your shoulders, and that’s not easy.

Parenting a teen, especially, comes with a lot of What am I doing? moments. But you know what to do. Just like when your daughter was a baby and didn’t have the words to tell you what she needed, you knew.

You used your instincts and listened with your heart.

Your daughter probably needs you now — your gut is telling you so. It’s time to have a real heart-to-heart.

You can’t force her to do, or stop doing, anything.

But you can give her some facts. Like the fact that her relationship would be illegal in another state, and why those laws exist. (“To protect children and teens … from confusing and possibly abusive relationships with more powerful adults,” writes Slate.) And the fact that there’s a huge difference, emotionally and sexually, in those seven years between her and her boyfriend. And the fact that if she thinks her relationship should be a secret, then it’s not a healthy relationship. And a whole bunch of facts on sexual health and contraception.

Be your best, most nonjudgmental self. Don’t lose your temper or try to control her. Don’t make her feel like she’s in trouble. Do be a voice of reason, a loving ear, a safe space. Invite her to tell you why she didn’t want you to know about her relationship. Help her see why staying with this guy isn’t in her best interest.

Most of all, be strong and firm. Remind her that it is your job to help her be safe. Then do a l you can to keep her safe.

Yours,

Athena
