COMPILED BY KEN PICARD

Sue Minter greeting supporters in Burlington

If you thought double-clutch driving was hard, imagine attempting this maneuver while hauling 60,000 pounds of tires at 63 miles per hour. Police last week responded to an overturned tractor-trailer truck on Interstate 89 northbound in Williston. ˜ e driver, 62-year-old Allen R. Johnson, of Meriden, Conn., wasn’t hurt in the morning crash but later told police that while hurrying to make his delivery, he stood up between the driver and passenger seats and, with one hand on the steering wheel, attempted to change his pants with the truck still in motion. Johnson was cited for negligent operation and for driving under the influence of alcohol, as he blew a 0.209 BAC — about five times the legal limit for a commercial driver.

Corporal Andrew Leise of the Vermont State Police declined to say why Johnson needed to swap out his trousers. “We wanted to take the high road and not run him into the ground [in the press],” Leise said, “but you can be creative and figure it out.”

SMALL FRY AND A SHAKE

Speaking of buzzed and pants-less, lunchtime at the McDonald’s in Essex Junction got a tad weird last week. Officers from the Essex Police Department responded to a call of a man in his vehicle ˜ ursday making lewd gestures at passersby. Officers found 49-year-old Lee Gillies of Richmond seated in his car outside the restaurant naked and intoxicated. Cops cited Gillies for DUI and lewd and lascivious conduct. Police declined to comment further on what Gillies was up to — or why.

SIGNS OF THE TIMES

Williston police report that Donald Trump campaign signs at 435 Essex Road in Williston have been stolen, vandalized or destroyed at least seven times in the last two weeks.

Most recently, a passerby on Sunday spotted a vandal ripping up the signs, then used his car to trap the scofflaw’s vehicle until police arrived. A brief scuffle ensued, cops said, but no one was hurt. ˜ e alleged vandal, 23-year-old Rashid H. Atweh, of Essex, confessed to destroying the Trump signs because they “put me into a rage,” authorities said.

In a statement to Sgt. Bart Chamberlain of the Williston PD, Atweh justified his actions by explaining that, “It’s very difficult being a brown man” in the United States these days. Despite the extreme rancor of the presidential race, Chamberlain said his department hasn’t fielded other reports of campaign signs being stolen or vandalized, “except this one house — over and over and over again.”

The race for governor will likely be the most costly political contest in Vermont history.

The price of power.

That’s how many early voting ballots had been returned by 2:30 p.m. Tuesday. The number of absentee voters in Vermont this election is expected to surpass a record set in 2008, according to the Secretary of State’s Office.

ell, that was an election.

Vermonters headed to the polls in huge numbers Tuesday — spurred, no doubt, by the hotly contested presidential campaign.

But they also turned out to pick a slew of new local leaders, and Seven Days was up late waiting for the results.

In the long, expensive and hard-fought race for governor, Democrat Sue Minter conceded to Republican Lt. Gov. Phil Scott late Tuesday night.

Sen. David Zuckerman (P/D-Chittenden) bested Republican Randy Brock to win the lieutenant governor seat that Scott is vacating.

Vermont has a new attorney general in T.J. Donovan. ˜ ose controversial, mall-related ballot questions in Burlington? ˜ ey passed.

pilots I am responsible for were in the F-35 aircraft doing the current mission than an F-16.” What about the thousands of local residents at risk on a regular basis once the F-35s operate over our homes and businesses? Even the Pentagon “has acknowledged reliability problems with the engine.”

The F-35 simulator may have been fun for Alpert, who “felt like [he] was playing an elaborate video game,” but for those of us contemplating living near the aircraft base, this is no game. The F-35s can travel at 600 mph, have a maximum loudness four times greater than the current F-16s and have unreliable engines. Are the potential dangers of this undependable technology worth risking our community for?

BUDBILL, WE HARDLY KNEW YA

It has been wonderful reading the tributes to David Budbill [“Tribute Words,” October 5]. I wanted to add a note about his excellent young adult fiction. As a middle school teacher for 40 years, Snowshoe Trek to Otter River and The Bones on Black Spruce Mountain were always in my emergency kit. I could count on these books capturing a reluctant reader’s interest. I never knew an adult who didn’t enjoy them as well. I recall urging David to write more books for this audience, but I realize he had many stories to tell. What a loss for all of us.

WTF HALLOWEEN COVER?

I always appreciate the cover art on each issue of Seven Days. The one on October 26 had me very intrigued, though. I would love to understand the symbolism of the Eggos and why Donald Trump is a big Eggo. Can the artist share the thoughts that went into it? I am more and more impressed with Seven Days as each year passes. Congrats on being a part of something so important.

Art director’s response: You aren’t the first person to inquire! We have a tradition of doing a politician “monster mashup” for our election-year Halloween issues. Admittedly, this one, inspired by the popular Netflix show “Stranger Things,” was a little out there. The cover featured Hillary Clinton as the character Eleven — a young girl with psychokinetic powers — and Donald Trump as her favorite food, Eggo waffles. The “missing persons” flyer on the tree substituted Sen. Bernie Sanders for Barb, a teen who vanishes without a trace. Read into it what you will!

SAY SOMETHING!

11.09.16-11.16.16

It is difficult to describe how deeply disappointed I am in the coverage of Darshana Bolt’s death [“Too Soon,” October 26], so I’ll just spell it out.

Instead of writing a provocative piece about the devastating lack of adequate mental health services in Vermont and how the deficit contributes to mortality, Molly Walsh exposed the most private, agonizing final moments of the victim’s life like the reporting of an everyday crime.

She used the phrase “public meltdown,” a phrase appropriate to describe a kid having a tantrum, to refer to the emotional state of a woman who soon after ended her own life.

She wrote of the state of the victim’s body upon discovery in vivid detail as if it were any other blasé weekly feature.

Walsh seemed to report without the empathy that is so very necessary to write about the horrible struggle of a person in crisis. There is reporting from an objective, journalistic standpoint — and then there is being a human being. It is possible to write about suicide and be an advocate without diminishing that suffering. It is

Great Scott

ermonters upended the Democratic political establishment Tuesday, electing Republican PHIL SCOTT as the 82nd governor of the Green Mountain State.

The 58-year-old lieutenant governor and construction executive is set to take office in the nation’s most liberal state, where retiring Gov. PETER SHUMLIN and fellow Democrats have controlled the state capital for six years.

“I can’t believe we’re here tonight,” Scott told a crowd of Republicans late Tuesday night at the Sheraton Burlington Hotel. “You know, 20 years ago I didn’t have a political bone in my body. So to say this blue-collar kid from Barre never expected this to happen is an understatement.”

By late Tuesday night, Scott was leading Democratic former transportation secretary SUE MINTER by roughly 9 percentage points with most precincts reporting. Though clearly crestfallen, she danced her way to a stage at the Burlington Hilton with family, friends and campaign staffers.

“It has been a long night, and it’s been an amazing journey,” Minter said.

The Waterbury Democrat said the night’s results would not end “our continued work to build a brighter future for Vermont.”

“I feel so much gratitude and appreciation,” she said. “No regrets. Total pride. Onward.”

For his part, Scott extended an olive branch to the Democrats who will continue to hold the Vermont House and Senate.

“In my administration, there will be room for everyone,” he said, including “Republicans, Democrats, Progressives, independents and no label at all.”

Scott pledged to work for the “thousands” of Vermonters who had shared stories of adversity with him, via mail, email and heartfelt conversation.

“There is no doubt the challenges are real, but the opportunities are also great, and together we’re going to move our state forward for these Vermonters and all Vermonters,” he said.

The news wasn’t all bad for Vermont Democrats.

Sen. PATRICK LEAHY (D-Vt.) easily defeated Republican SCOTT MILNE, winning a historic eighth term to the United States Senate. The 76-year-old Middlesex

Democrat is only the fifth person in U.S. history to do so.

The Associated Press called the race for Leahy at 6:59 p.m., a moment before the polls closed. A little more than an hour later, he took the stage at the Burlington Hilton as the Grateful Dead’s “Truckin’” played on the public address system.

“It has been a long, strange trip, to quote JERRY GARCIA,” the senator said.

Referring to the caustic, anti-incumbent race Milne ran, Leahy said, “Let’s return decency in place of the negativity we see … Let’s show the nation how different we are.”

Just after midnight, Republican RANDY BROCK conceded the lieutenant gubernatorial race to Sen. DAVID ZUCKERMAN (P/D-Chittenden), the Democratic and Progressive nominee. A 45-year-old

organic farmer from Hinesburg, Zuckerman served 12 years in the Vermont House and four in the Senate.

He’ll be the highest-ranking Progressive in state history.

Chittenden County State’s Attorney T.J. DONOVAN of South Burlington handily defeated St. Johnsbury attorney DEB BUCKNAM to become Vermont’s next attorney general. Donovan, a 42-year-old rising star in the Democratic Party, will succeed Attorney General BILL SORRELL, who is retiring after nearly two decades on the job.

Donovan’s victory came four years after he narrowly lost to Sorrell in a hard-fought Democratic primary — a race he referred to in his victory speech Tuesday night at the Burlington Hilton.

“Four years ago we sought this office to fight to level the playing field for all Vermonters,” Donovan told the crowd.

“We have stayed the course. We have kept the faith. We have finished the race.

And we have prevailed!”

Vermont’s incumbent statewide officers — Democratic Treasurer BETH PEARCE, Democratic Secretary of State JIM CONDOS and Democratic/Progressive Auditor DOUG HOFFER — won their races with little opposition.

Congressman PETER WELCH (D-Vt.)

handily defeated Liberty Union nominee ERICA CLAWSON to win a sixth twoyear term in the U.S. House. He told Democrats at the Burlington watch party that he was “ready to go back” to Washington, D.C., to help fix a “broken” Congress.

In Burlington, two hotly contested local ballot items passed. Voters approved Question 3 — the creation of a downtown zoning district that will allow buildings up to 160 feet tall — by a margin of 54 to 46 percent. On Question 4, regarding a $21.8 million tax increment financing bond for public improvements around the new district, voters said “yes” by a tally of 59 to 41 percent.

The approval of both means developer DON SINEX can go forward with his proposed $250 million redevelopment of the Burlington Town Center.

Sen. DUSTIN DEGREE (R-Franklin) and Rep. CAROLYN BRANAGAN (R-Georgia) won a hotly contested state Senate race in Franklin County, keeping both seats in Republican hands. But Democrats and Progressives picked up one Senate seat in Chittenden County, where Rep. CHRIS PEARSON (P-Burlington) and Williston Selectboard member DEB INGRAM joined four incumbents in the six-member Senate delegation.

GOT A TIP FOR PAUL? PAUL@SEVENDAYSVT.COM

The Washington County race was too close to call, with incumbent Sen. BILL DOYLE (R-Washington), the dean of the Senate, trailing former Democratic representative FRANCIS BROOKS for the third seat in the three-member delegation.

Sens. ANN CUMMINGS (D-Washington) and ANTHONY POLLINA (P/D-Washington) were both reelected in that district.

APPOINT ADMINISTRATION LEADERSHIP: Scott’s most important appointments will be secretary of administration and chief of staff. The former will guide the budgeting process and supervise the cabinet.

The latter will oversee Scott’s political staff on the fifth floor of the Pavilion Building.

Douglas, who moved from the state treasurer’s office to the governor’s office in 2003, says he knew even before his 2002 campaign ended who he hoped to appoint as chief of staff and secretary of administration: Hayward and MIKE SMITH. “It may sound presumptuous … but when you feel you have a shot at it, you have to start some preliminary thinking about who will help you out,” Douglas says.

Thirteen days after Shumlin was elected in 2010, he named BILL LOFY as his chief of staff and JEB SPAULDING as his secretary of administration. That set off another talent search, because Spaulding had to give up the term he’d just won as state treasurer.

GET TO WORK ON THE BUDGET: Governors are required by statute to deliver a budget to the legislature by the third Tuesday it’s in session. That leaves little time to get the job done.

According to Martin, the Shumlin administration started the budgeting process “a little earlier this year than we have in years past” so that it can hand off a menu of options to the next governor and administration secretary by the third week of November.

“Depending on the way the ball bounces, the people coming in may have new priorities,” he says.

Douglas remembers his first budget as relatively painless because, he says, he and outgoing Democratic governor

NAME A TRANSITION TEAM: Scott said late Tuesday in an interview that he would name a team Wednesday afternoon to coordinate the frenetic activities of the coming months.

Secretary of Administration TREY MARTIN, whom Shumlin has tasked with coordinating his exit from office, will hand over the keys to 144 State Street — a drab Montpelier building down the street from the Statehouse which Martin has fitted up with phones and computers. The team will have a budget of $65,000, most of which will likely go to interim personnel. If the new governor wants to get paid before inauguration, it has to come out of that sum.

With the help of outgoing administration staff and cabinet members, Martin has been preparing a “transition book” to hand over to the governorelect. It will include a broad overview of

ongoing state government functions, as well as detailed information pertaining to specific agencies and departments.

“The transition is about good governance,” Martin says. “I feel that it’s my job to make sure that they have a clear sense from this team of what we perceive as the top priorities, the medium priorities and the day-to-day services we provide.”

WE’VE GOT THE LOWEST PRICES! WE’VE GOT THE LOWEST PRICES!

With Election Day in the rearview mirror, the real work now begins.

Governor-elect Scott takes office in just 57 days — on January 5, 2017.

Between now and then, he will have to build a new state government capable of seamlessly replacing the outgoing Shumlin administration.

It is no small task.

“You set the stage for how you’re going to govern by what you do in the transition, so it’s really important that you make a good impression,” says LIZ BANKOWSKI, a veteran Democratic hand who managed the transitions of governors Shumlin and MADELEINE KUNIN. “And you don’t have a lot of time to do it. You wake up the next day, and there you are.”

Says TIM HAYWARD, who ran Republican governor JIM DOUGLAS’ transition, “It goes very quickly, and it is a very intense time, a very exciting time and a very important time.”

So what’s next for the governor-elect?

Scott will also have to deal with a host of preexisting policy problems, each of which comes with its own pressing deadlines: how to fund the federally mandated cleanup of Lake Champlain; what to do about Vermont Health Connect; whether to continue Shumlin’s pursuit of an all-payer health care system; how to meet the state’s underfunded pension obligations; and how to implement Shumlin’s universal prekindergarten initiative.

A Campus Sexual Harassment Claim Puts Administrators to the Test B Y M O LLY WA LSH

EDUCATION

Woodruff Hall at Castleton University

MOLLY WALSH

SEVENDAYSVT.COM

A

tenured Castleton University professor who was suspended last year for sexually harassing a student is fighting the school’s finding against him.

Christopher Schwaner’s case offers a rare glimpse into a personnel misconduct investigation of the sort conducted behind closed doors, after which the accused professor typically disappears with no explanation.

Sarah Schindler complained last year that Schwaner was stalking and sexually harassing her. The university dismissed the former allegation but agreed with the latter: It ruled that the math prof had violated school policy by sexually harassing Schindler, who was one of his students. He served as Schindler’s adviser as well.

Schwaner, 38, maintains that he did not harass Schindler, 25, who notified the university two months after she graduated in May 2015. He contends that he was denied due process and was wrongly sanctioned as the result of a flawed university investigation.

Lawyers for the Vermont State Colleges system, which includes Castleton, have defended the investigation.

Based on the sexual harassment conclusion, university president David Wolk issued an order that banned Schwaner from campus in 2015. Since then, Schwaner has missed out on some $60,000 in compensation. He remains employed and has drawn pay of $5,856 so far in 2016, according to public records, but is not listed as teaching on the course schedule at Castleton this semester. College officials would not discuss details of Schwaner’s employment status. Meanwhile, Schwaner, a member of the state colleges faculty union, continues to push for back pay and to recover his legal costs. He also wants the finding against him to be overturned and the ban lifted.

Lawyers for VSC and Schwaner are facing off next month at a hearing in front of the Vermont Labor Relations Board, with which Schwaner has filed a grievance. Since those proceedings are public record, and both sides have submitted numerous documents to support their arguments, the conflict is more transparent than it would have been.

Timely, too. The case is being heard

as college administrators around the Boston Globe, which published the miscountry ratchet up their efforts to dis- sive on its website. It read: “Harvard has courage and punish sexual misconduct adopted procedures for deciding cases on campus under federal Title IX, which of alleged sexual misconduct which bans sex discrimination, including lack the most basic elements of fairness sexual harassment.

leaf-strewn paths under the late afternoon sun. Nearby, stately historic homes lined the quiet main street of the tiny college town 15 miles from Rutland.

It was Wolk who decided to sanction Schwaner in October 2015. He said student and personnel privacy rules prevent him from responding to any specific questions about the case. But Wolk said the process is fair and that while sexual harassment complaints are rare on campus, they are taken seriously.

Students deserve protection, and the rules are ultimately intended to keep them safe, Wolk said.

“I think to myself, Is this the kind of experience that I would want for my own kids? And that’s how I would approach the job,” Wolk said. “By the same token, I exercise fairness and open-mindedness with those who are accused of misconduct, as well.”

The key people in the case — Schwaner and Schindler — did not respond to requests to be interviewed. But the Labor Relations Board’s records and court documents flesh out their respective allegations.

complaint, Schindler accused Schwaner of stalking in filings at Vermont Superior Court in Rutland in July 2015. The court granted her petition for a protective order but dismissed it a couple of months later by mutual agreement.

Schindler’s court affidavit and an attached statement that she made to Castleton Police Chief Peter Mantello during a May 2015 interview detail her complaint. Castleton University wellness coordinator Amy Bremel was present during the police interview, which ended with the police chief encouraging Schindler to apply for a protective order in court.

Schindler did so and expressed fear that Schwaner might retaliate against her.

“Due to his behavior I feel that he has crossed so many boundaries and is kind of obsessed with me. His behavior scares me and has caused me emotional distress,” Schindler wrote in a July 8, 2015, request for an order against stalking at Superior Court in Rutland.

In response to the court, Schwaner and his lawyer said there was no stalking.

“Both of these filings can have devastating effects on the defendant’s life and to a large degree could threaten the defendant’s reputation and ability to earn a livelihood,” Parisi wrote in a July 24, 2015, court document. He continued, saying that the allegations should not be taken lightly and could “destroy the defendant’s life as he knows it. The defendant denies and will continue to deny all” of the “specious allegations that are contained in the petition and the complaint that the plaintiff has filed with Castleton State College.”

Schindler grew up in Thetford Center and graduated from Castleton on May 9, 2015.

According to her version of events as per the court papers, she met Schwaner in August 2013, when she was a junior math major at Castleton. He was her academic adviser and professor and taught her six courses over the next 18 months. He asked frequently about her boyfriend, made numerous comments about her “ass” and told her that she was his “dream girl,” according to her account in court papers.

“It is debilitating,” said Maureen Cregan Connolly, executive director of the Homebuilders and Remodelers Association of Northern Vermont.

Project managers “work a lot of crazy hours during the summer,” she noted, which could create significant overtime costs for the construction businesses she represents. “It’s going to be one of those sudden shocks to the system,” Connolly said.

in Burlington’s Old North End runs two public-access TV channels and trains citizens to produce their own media. As part of a project called Common Good Vermont, CCTV provides resources to local nonprofits and has been spreading the word about the overtime rule.

“I think this change in the law shows that we have been balancing our budgets on the backs of nonprofit employees for a long time,” Davitian said.

That applies to her organization, too, where 50-hour workweeks aren’t uncommon. On October 1, CCTV employees making less than the threshold began tracking their hours to ensure they work SEAN METCALF

n December 1, approximately 10,000 Vermonters will become eligible for overtime pay. That has employers nervously crunching numbers and consulting labor lawyers.

Both groups have President Barack Obama to thank — or blame. In May, the U.S. Department of Labor announced a rule change addressing the “white-collar exemptions” in the Fair Labor Standards Act. Previously, employers didn’t have to pay salaried workers overtime as long as they performed administrative, professional or managerial duties and made more than $23,660. Through an executive action, Obama more than doubled the salary threshold, to $47,476 — which will make 4.2 million more U.S. workers eligible to receive time-and-a-half pay when they work more than 40 hours a week.

High-profile political battles over labor policies — increasing the minimum wage and making paid sick days mandatory — have raged for years, both locally and nationally. But few people had been paying attention to overtime rules.

This inconspicuous federal policy change caught many employers by surprise. With just weeks until it takes effect, some are scrambling to adjust.

Obama’s rule will likely have a profound impact, should it survive legal and legislative challenges. Just two months ago, 21 states sued the federal labor department to try to quash the rule. One week later, the Republican-controlled House of Representatives voted to delay implementation for six months. Obama has pledged to veto any such legislative action if it reaches his desk.

Labor-friendly Vermont didn’t join the lawsuit. The state’s labor commissioner, Annie Noonan, noted that the salary threshold hadn’t been increased for years.

In the 1970s, 62 percent of salaried workers qualified for overtime pay, compared with a mere 7 percent today. The revised federal rule includes a provision to update the salary threshold every three years.

“I don’t understand how someone who is working more than 40 hours a week doesn’t get compensated for that,” said Melinda Moulton, codirector of Main Street Landing and a vocal advocate for workers’ rights. “It’s just not fair.”

“It will put more money into the pockets of hardworking Vermonters,” predicted Dan Barlow, public policy manager at Vermont Businesses for Social Responsibility. He conceded, though, that

BTV’s ‘Little Pharma’ Shops Face Another Big Competitor — CVS B Y KEV I N J. K ELLE Y

billion takeover brought the number of links in the CVS chain to nearly 10,000 nationwide. But the Rhode Island-based behemoth could be toppled from its No. 1 spot if the feds green-light No. 2 Walgreens’ $9.4 billion bid for No. 3 Rite Aid. Critics warn that this consolidation would create a “duopoly” resulting in reduced competition and higher consumer prices.

Vermont is home to 95 pharmacies owned either by chains like CVS, super-

“That is the way it looks,” conceded Chernoff, the octogenarian who in 1983 opened what became Vermont Family Pharmacy. “Chains definitely do have the upper hand.”

But Lakeside owner Earl Pease, who is operating the equivalent of a mom-and-pop grocery in downtown Burlington, said he wishes his store were actually next door to Rite Aid rather than 100 yards away. “I’d love to go toe-to-toe with them,” Pease puffed.

“People could see immediately that our customer service is so superior.”

He added with an equal degree of brio: “CVS has had no impact on us. None.”

Indies such as Lakeside are sustained by long-standing relationships with patrons such as Ken Sanders. “I’ve been coming here for 10 years — closer to 20 — because I like the workers,” Sanders said while waiting at the store’s only register. “They treat you with respect, man.”

Robert Starr, who was browsing Lakeside’s modest selection of toiletries, said he used to get his prescriptions filled at Rite Aid. “But they don’t call you if there’s a problem,” Starr noted. “Here they will. So I switched. ‘Basta, Rite Aid,’ I said. ‘Basta!’”

Pease, 60, bought the business in 1981 when Lakeside was on St. Paul Street where CarShare Vermont operates today. The pharmacy was then 35 years old and had built a solid customer base.

Pease moved it into the larger 3,000-square-foot space alongside Pearl Street Beverage in 1993. He was able to get a mortgage from Merchants Bank. “Thank God for the local bank!” Pease exclaimed. Ten days before Seven Days interviewed him, however, Merchants had announced it was being sold to a chain of banks based in Syracuse.

Owning the one-story building outright is a big advantage, as is having a parking lot next door, Pease noted. He became an entrepreneur for the reason that motivates many small-business

In joining the Rite Aid, Walgreens and Kinney Drugs chains doing business in the Queen City, CVS is heightening competitive pressures on Vezina’s New North End operation and on locally owned Lakeside Pharmacy on Pearl Street.

In addition to being “always available to discuss insurance issues and medication,” her pharmacy makes free deliveries two days a week, Vezina told the elders.

The store her father opened in a clapboard former residence in 1983 stocks plenty of useful merchandise, too, she noted: commodes, ice tips for canes and “compression stockings in fashionable styles.”

Some of her mostly female listeners nodded approvingly from their rocking chairs.

owners: “I realized you could do better for your family by working for yourself rather than for someone else,” Pease said. Prior to being his own boss, he was a deliveryman for a pharmacy in his native Rutland and subsequently got licensed as a pharmacist.

Like Vezina, Pease lamented how much time it takes to run an independent pharmacy. “It’s tempting,” Pease acknowledged, when asked if he’d consider selling Lakeside to a chain. “I get offers all the time, but I enjoy the challenge of trying to make money in a tough market, and I feel an obligation to my customers, who have been so loyal, and my employees.” Some of his 10 parttime workers have been at Lakeside for 20 years, Pease pointed out.

The future is unwritten, he added. Pease has a son who is the likeliest candidate to pick up the pestle, but he said, “I don’t think he has it in him, frankly.”

Vezina faces the same dilemma. She has no children of her own to take over Vermont Family Pharmacy when she retires in 10 years or so. “I’m sort of hoping there’s someone out there who will step up when the time comes,” Vezina said.

She bought the business in 2003 from her father, who had founded it as a franchise of a chain called the Medicine Shoppe. Chernoff moved to Burlington from Boston in 1968, he recounted, in response to a job offer from Liggett’s, a chain with a drug store in the space now occupied by Ben & Jerry’s on Church Street.

He left after nine years. “I didn’t like working for a chain,” he said. “They don’t teach you well enough,” Chernoff explained.

Chains have other deficits as well, he said, suggesting that might allow the indies to continue operating after all — provided consumers scrutinize options more thoughtfully.

It’s a myth, Chernoff insisted, that CVS consistently charges less for offthe-shelf products than does Vermont Family Pharmacy. “Chains probably do buy for less from wholesalers,” he said, “but the cost of distribution drives up the prices they charge.” Rite Aid, Walgreens, CVS, Kinney Drugs, Duane

Reade, Rexall — they all have merchandise shipped to distribution centers that are expensive to operate, Chernoff said.

“And then there’s the cost of transporting goods to all their local stores,” he noted.

Another possible source of salvation for Little Pharma is the current national glut of pharmacists, Chernoff suggested.

“There’s a lot more people coming out of pharmacy schools than there are jobs in the industry. Maybe some of them will start their own businesses,” Chernoff reasoned.

That could happen, said Bob Hamilton, interim dean of the Albany College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences in Colchester, which has 165 students. A graduate of the Water Tower Hill campus did open an independent pharmacy a couple of years ago, Hamilton said. But contrary to the “glut” thesis, nearly everyone enrolled in his college does find work in some facet of the industry, with about three-quarters getting hired by chains, Hamilton added.

Noelle MacKay, director of Burlington’s Community & Economic Development Office, said that Lakeside and other indies might be unrattled by the clanking of the chains because of the strength of the buy-local movement, especially among millennials — and particularly in Burlington.

“People here vote with their dollars,” she said. “There’s a reason why you see no McDonald’s here and why 60 percent of stores [on the Church Street Marketplace] are locally owned.”

At the same time, she added, “while politically we believe in small business, customers are looking for the familiar.”

With straggly cacti and half-dead plants in its front window, Lakeside has a forlorn look that doesn’t exactly beckon passersby. But twentysomething Jess Silverman took a chance and ventured in. She just wanted to get a key copied. Lakeside obliged, but Silverman said she’d probably turn to a brandname chain for future purchases.

“I know I should shop local,” she remarked as she exited Lakeside, “but honestly I’ll go wherever is cheaper.

And I assume that to be Rite Aid.” m

COURTESY OF NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

Entergy to Sell Vermont Yankee to New York Cleanup Company Entergy announced Tuesday that it has agreed to sell the shuttered the Vermont Yankee nuclear power plant to New Yorkbased NorthStar Group Services — a deal that could accelerate its decommissioning by nearly fi e decades.

The sale is subject to appr val by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and the Vermont Public Service Board. The deal is expected to close by the end of 2018.

“By accelerating decommissioning, we are fulfi ling a commitment we made in 2013 to decommission Vermont Yankee as soon as reasonably possible,” said Bill Mohl, president of Entergy Wholesale Commodities, in a statement.

NorthStar and its partners specialize in demolition, wrecking and asbestos abatement. The group has dismantled an

The ermont Yankee plant

remediated at least 300 nuclear and nonnuclear power plants over the past 15 years.

One of NorthStar’s goals will be to decommission the spent fuel storage area 45 years earlier than originally scheduled so that “a majority of Vermont Yankee can be redeveloped to promote business for the region,” according to a statement from the company CEO. That means decommission ing and restoration of the site would be complete by 2030.

Entergy purchased the Vernon facility in 2002 from Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power, a consortium of New England utilities.

The power plant in ernon shut down in December 2014 after 42 years in operation. It provided a cheap source of energy in the Green Mountain State and provided jobs for locals, as well as nuclear professionals drawn to the area from out of state.

When Burlington College closed its doors for good in May, professors and administrators left behind fully furnished offices and classrooms. Now the items remaining at the institution are headed to the auction block.

A public auction is scheduled at the college for 10 a.m. on December 7. Bidders can also participate online. People’s United Bank, which foreclosed on the college in the spring, contracted the Morrisville-based Thomas Hirchak Company to conduct the auction. All the items — more than 600 lots — will be sold to the highest bidder.

For now, chairs and desks are piled in the vacated classrooms at the North Avenue campus. The libra y’s shelves are still crammed with books, and artwork leans against one wall. Theres a refrigerator, cameras and video equipment, flat-screen TVs, rugs, and a 3,600-square-foot tent, according to the auction website.

“In some offices, it looks like [professors] could be back tomo row,” said Burlington College board chair Yves Bradley.

According to Bradley, all proceeds from the auction will go to People’s United Bank, the college’s lender.

“The banks interest is to get rid of everything at the college and pay off the creditors that they have,” said board member Tom Torti.

a sexual manner. “She said no. She has come to believe that Mr. Schwaner is obsessed with her,” the police report reads.

On February 22, Schwaner went to Schindler’s apartment and said he was “in love with her,” according to the police report. She told him she did not return those feelings and asked him to leave. He did.

VSC rules prohibit romantic or sexual relationships between professors and their students and view them as misconduct.

Going, Going, Gone: Burlington College’s Stuff Set to Be Auctioned

Campus Sexual Harassment « P.17

A Chittenden Superior Court judge tossed charges last month against Danny Connors, a 49-year-old black Burlington resident, after deciding the stop and search that led to his drug arrest was unconstitutional.

“How many different ways did this stop and frisk of the defendant violate basic constitutional principles?” Dennis Pearson wrote sarcastically in his October 24 decision.

Connors “felt targeted” because of his race, said his attorney, Sara Puls.

The case began with a burgla y call about a stolen gun.

The homeowne , Jesse Hays, told cops that he’d spoken days before with two men who noticed that he was carrying a gun, according to court documents.

A neighbor of Hays told police that one of the men was a “stocky black male” he’d later seen around Hays’ home.

Six days later, the neighbor told cops he’d seen the same “stocky black male” walking in Lakeside Park.

“Connors himself was not doing anything remotely suspicious, other than looking like a ‘stocky black male’ and being in the same area where a burglary had been reported several days before,” Pearson wrote.

A Burlington police office , soon joined by two more officers, stopped and searched Connors. As they spoke to Connors, officers learned that the neighbor had recanted his identification of Connors as the suspect.

Nonetheless, officers continued to question Connors, who eventually confessed to having crack cocaine in his pocket, leading to a felony drug possession charge.

But police had no right to stop Connors in the first place, let alone frisk and interrogate him, Pearson said.

MARK DAVIS

He and Schwaner contend that it’s Schindler who stalked Schwaner, not the other way around.

They also complain that during the college sanction process, they were not allowed to interview witnesses against Schwaner. Investigators did not call his witnesses and ignored his allegations of Schindler’s “perjury on legal documents,” according to Schwaner’s grievance filing at the Labor Relations Board.

“You can’t even cross-examine a witness,” Parisi said. “You have to sit there, twiddling your thumbs.”

Like Wolk, William Reedy, general counsel for VSC, insisted the process is fair. Each party is interviewed by two investigators and allowed to have legal counsel present. Each party is allowed to respond to a final report and to appeal the findings.

Schwaner appealed unsuccessfully to VSC Chancellor Jeb Spaulding, and then to the Labor Relations Board. That board allows for cross-examination of witnesses and additional challenges to evidence, according to Reedy.

Its hearing is set for December 8 in Montpelier. m Contact: molly@sevendaysvt.com

He moved to Miami, Fla., in his teenage years, then came back to his Vermont roots in 1995. He realized he couldn’t be that far away from the mountains and skiing, his favorite sport that he excelled at with equal doses of thrill-seeking and graceful maneuvers. ° e higher and more treacherous the mountain, the happier Jonathan was. His other love was Lake Champlain, where he spent many summers enjoying escapades on his boat with Lisa and his much-loved

dog Rhea, driving as fast as possible. Jon’s affection for cars and really anything with an engine turned him into a popular car salesman, most recently at Heritage Toyota, where his flair for selling was evident to those lucky enough to be his customer. ˜Jonathan was a true extrovert. Being around his numerous friends and loved ones gave him the most joy, especially those who joined him on his many adventures. ˜Jonathan is survived by his loving partner, Lisa Woodward of Essex Junction; his father, Alan Diamond, of Albany, N.Y.; his mother, Lynne Durbin Crane, of Flat Rock, N.C.; his brother, Benjamin Lorin Diamond, of Brooklyn, N.Y.; his aunt Cheryl and her husband Bill Flook of Chester, N.Y., and their daughter, Lindsey Messina; and his grandmother, Eleanor Diamond of New York; plus a large and adoring extended family and many friends. ˜A memorial service was held on Sunday, November 6,˜at Temple Sinai Synagogue on Dorset Street in South Burlington.

even Days’ writers can’t possibly read, much less review, the number of books that arrive in a steady stream by post, email and, in one memorable case, a flock of angry grackles. So this monthly feature, “Page 32,” is our way of introducing you to five books

by Vermont authors. To do that, we’ll contextualize each book just a little, and quote a single representative sentence from, yes, page 32.

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

My Immaculate Assassin

Flatlander: Book One

David Huddle, Tupelo Press, 256 pages. $16.95.

Oliver Kranichfeld, illustrated by Sam Balling, iUniverse, 684 pages. $28.99 paperback, $3.99 ebook.

“It was sweet but it was also harsh — and maybe at the crucial instant of our pelvises colliding with a grand urgency, it was downright brutal.”

The line above notwithstanding, DAVID HUDDLE’s latest novel is not pornographic. Yes, Maura and the book’s narrator, Jack, definitely have sexytimes. But this is the story of a relationship between two midlife adults — she starting it as a 39-year-old virgin, he divorced after a long marriage. Huddle, a University of Vermont English prof emeritus, capably unfolds the story in much the same way two people come to know each other. The couple’s intimacy becomes so potent that a reader may feel voyeuristic. That’s not all; as its title portends, the book is also about murder — eliminating those whom they decide “need to be dead” with a cybertechnology that only Maura has figured out. Huddle navigates the psychological terrain of the lovers while chronicling a morally complicated mission, and it’s a tautly woven tale.

“It means that we as a people, Ellen, we as a people, bury a lot of things deep down and see things the way that we want to see them, not as how they truly are.”

In 2110, a man wakes with amnesia to find himself a stranger in a strange land: the independent republic of Vermont, whose residents immediately peg him as a despised “Flatlander” from the “Old Country.” With sly wit, Burlington resident OLIVER KRANICHFELD has crafted a different kind of epic fantasy novel: all the questing, battling and pseudo-medievalism you might expect, transplanted to a satirical framework full of Green Mountain in-jokes. Watch as Flatlander takes on the cult of “the singing Fish,” explores “the Brattle,” saves Pete the Moose, and intervenes in the debate over the Moran Plant — which, yes, is still going on. Flatlanders may not get it, but residents of the “republic” sure will.

Delcina’s Tree: Legend of the Crossin’ Tree Witch S.W. Laro, CreateSpace, 302 pages. $12.

“Delcina smiled, feeling the tree heave back and forth as the wind grew more intense, bringing forest scents of animal scat, soil and all things of mysterious spirits.”

In 2010, Jacob Longwood, the 87-year-old heir to a Vermont railroad dynasty, prepares himself for death.

His companion and sole friend is a mysteriously youthful Jamaican wise woman named Delcina, who was his childhood caretaker. Punctuated by Delcina’s patois, this ambitious, lyrical novel travels back and forth in time as it explores both characters’ pasts — including the origins of Delcina’s mystical power to communicate with the “crossin’ tree,” which “embraces and guides those about to die.” Southern Vermont author S.W. LARO says in a biographical note that he wrote the book “in honor of the Jamaican woman who helped raise him.”

“This particular Annual School Bus Driver Dance … would be a memory so horrific that nobody in the town could describe it with even a modicum of clarity.”

Of late, Vermont journalist GINA TRON has been doing hometown reporting for the Barre-Montpelier Times Argus, but her CV also includes viral Vice pieces such as “The Brown Mountain State” (about Vermont’s heroin epidemic) and “I Was a Suspected School Shooter.”

The catalyst for the latter incident was a satirical verse tale Tron penned in high school, which some of her classmates characterized to police as (in her words) a “prom murder spree manual.” Readers will find that story in its entirety in Tron’s new collection of darkly comic “fables.”

They paint a world dominated by abusive authority figures, absurdly whacked-out priority systems and fast food. These bizarre parables and put-ons bear glowing blurbs from a wide range of cultural tastemakers — including, of all people, conservative writer and commentator Ann Coulter.

“He shoved over a plastic hand with two perfect fingers and three crude extremities, making it look like an abandoned sculpture project.”

Talk about a cold case. Newfane writer ARCHER MAYOR begins his 27th crime novel with the discovery of a 40-year-old skeleton in a slab of concrete at the recently decommissioned Vermont Yankee nuclear facility. In a single scene, Mayor introduces both foul play and a locale familiar to anyone in the Green Mountain State — which, in turn, gives his narrator opportunities to muse on how that state has changed since the 1970s.

Realism, historical context and the author’s evocation of place — alongside a fictional tale of murder and mayhem — will bring fans back for this annual installment of the Joe Gunther detective series.

Homicide and mafia connections are not so typical in Vermont, but their presence in Presumption makes for a tense and well-paced whodunit. Plus, longtime readers get to drop in on Mayor’s engaging cop crew.

hink about barbershop music.

You’re probably envisioning four guys wearing striped blazers, straw boaters and bow ties.

But the genre looks quite different at the Salisbury Community School gym every Thursday night. The weekly rehearsals for MAIDEN VERMONT, an Addison County-based barbershop chorus, draw more than 40 women of all ages.

At a recent rehearsal, they’re dressed smartly in black pants and blouses the colors of fall leaves. They stand on risers facing folk singer ELISABETH VON TRAPP, who is strumming an acoustic guitar. Just back from a four-week bike trip around Europe, she is scheduled to appear with Maiden Vermont on November 12 at Middlebury’s TOWN HALL THEATER. The singers warm up with a mournful rendition of the Beatles tune “Things We Said Today,” accompanied by Richmond musician CHRIS PETERMAN on soprano sax.

This room full of (mostly) women is a love fest. After the last warm chord of “My Favorite Things,” von Trapp looks at the Maidens with adoration. “That exquisite combination, there’s nothing like it. Except riding tandem in Italy with this guy,” she says, gesturing to her husband on the sidelines.

Next, von Trapp leads the singers through a medley of “My Country, ’Tis of Thee” and “Edelweiss.” It’s enough to make you feel a twinge of patriotism.

“Oooh, that was so pretty,” gushes LINDI BORTNEY, the silver-haired dynamo director taking notes beside von Trapp.

Bortney founded Maiden Vermont in 2004 as a barbershop group that

rehearsed in an actual barbershop. “It was serendipity,” she recalls.

Bortney and her husband, composer JERRY SHEDD, had recently retired to the Middlebury area from Long Island, where she had worked as a high school choral teacher. The musical pair appeared in the MIDDLEBURY COMMUNITY PLAYERS’ production of The Pirates of Penzance. Word about Bortney’s experience quickly got out.

The California native earned her master’s in music theory and composition at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

She discovered her true love — tight, four-part harmonies — while directing a junior high school boys’ chorus on Long Island. Bortney went on to direct women and girls in the same style (often referred to as “Sweet Adeline”). She herself sang in the Ramapo Valley Show Chorus, a three-time international champion in barbershop competitions.

In Vermont, at the request of a Penzance cast mate, Bortney began teaching doo-wop to a small group of local actors. She enjoyed the experience so much, she decided to do what she really loves: direct women’s barbershop.

“We put something in the paper, calling all women, but we didn’t have a place to have it. The high school was booked,” Bortney says. “I was having my hair done, and I looked at the woman and said, ‘Why don’t we do it here?’”

Bortney’s motto? “It doesn’t hurt to ask.”

Thirteen women and girls — including five mother-daughter duos — showed up for the first rehearsal, which was held

“The man-woman story gets a lot of energy,” Feeney says, “so [I think,] What are other stories we can tell outside of that mainstream narrative? There are so many other tales to tell about being alive.”

friendship. “[She] has told me that life asks you a question every seven years, in some way or another,” Feeney explains.

“You can either answer bravely or be a chickenshit.”

The Other Middle Ages explores “this idea that these people didn’t answer the question bravely,” she adds.

Set seven or so years after Patty and Elise left grad school, having failed to answer that “question,” The Other Middle Ages gives them a chance to confront the less-attractive aspects of their lives. Patty grapples with the traumas that caused her to give up a possible career as a professor for a managerial position at Barnes & Noble in her small Ohio hometown. Elise is finally forced to acknowledge the privilege that her wealthy upbringing has afforded her, and how her bias against poverty has made her come off as clueless and sheltered.

Some elements are autobiographical. Like the fictional Patty and Elise with their professor, Feeney developed a close relationship with her real-life adviser at the University of Vermont, Laurel Broughton, who taught medieval literature.

And the playwright’s worldview is evident throughout the show. “I’m writing from where I’m at, which is at the beginning of the ‘middle ages’ of my life,” Feeney says in an interview. “I see a shift away from the petty concerns of love affairs and relationships to the work of what I’m doing — creativity.”

When the stage lights came up, she was Patty Kelly, a middle-aged scholar confronting her past. Clad in a black turtleneck, Patty speaks with an air of dejection and doesn’t seem very happy.

Feeney doesn’t just play Patty; she created the role. The Other Middle Ages is her second play to be produced. Like her first one, Women’s Fictions: A One-Act Play, it was produced by SMALL POTATOES THEATER, a minuscule outfit consisting of Feeney and her longtime friend and fellow thespian PAMELA FORMICA. The show’s title is a punny dig at its content.

THE STRAIGHT DOPE BY CECIL ADAMS

Dear Cecil,

I recently had to put down our dog, a large Labrador. Despite my emotional turmoil, I couldn’t help but notice the complete lack of pain, trauma and stress our dog experienced, and how quickly it was all over. Why do there seem to be ongoing issues whenever we execute people by lethal injection that we never see when dogs get put to sleep?

Mike Hogan injections conducted in the U.S. resulted in some shameful, often headline-snagging snafu.

And that incompetence hasn’t abated in the years since — capital punishment has, if anything, become an even less professional undertaking, as reputation-protecting drug manufacturers and physicians edge away from the institution and states grow cagier about what happens in the death chamber.

The irony here is that the earliest advocates of chemical execution actually got the idea from animal euthanasia. “We kill animals more humanely than people,” pathologist Jay Chapman recalls thinking circa 1977, while Gary Gilmore was awaiting death by firing squad. It was in that year that Chapman, then Oklahoma’s chief medical examiner, whipped up the lethal-injection protocol that still bears his name. His three-drug cocktail — sodium thiopental as a sedative, pancuronium to still the lungs and potassium chloride to stop the heart — was

very dog must someday romp off into the great beyond, and when its owner decides that the time has come, a licensed vet will be there to administer a lethal shot, typically of pentobarbital. Delivered in sufficient dosage, this barbiturate, most widely marketed in the U.S. as Nembutal, zips through the bloodstream to knock out brain and heart functions pretty much simultaneously. The end is instant and painless, the process so far from cruel and unusual that even the Humane Society grudgingly recommends it if euthanasia is unavoidable. With an even bigger hit of pentobarbital, you can put down a horse — or end a human life with little muss or fuss.

Next time you’re looking for reasons to grumble that we Americans treat our pets better than our fellow human beings, contrast that frictionless procedure with the dysfunctional workings of death row. As of 2010, about 7 percent of lethal

pincushion by California injection techs for almost 20 minutes in 2005; four years later in Ohio, executioners fumbled around so ineffectually that Romell Broom is still alive to appeal his sentence. And in the most notoriously botched injection of recent years, the IV line that was at length inserted into Oklahoma prisoner Clayton Lockett in 2014 pumped sedative into his flesh rather than the intended blood vessel; he was apparently at least semiconscious when the potassium chloride hit, and it took him nearly 45 torturous and bloody minutes to finally die. As Jay Chapman himself said in 2007, “It never occurred to me when we set this up that we’d have complete idiots administering the drugs.”

To be fair, not every instance of animal euthanasia goes off without a hitch either. In 2010, a Detroit man brought his apparently lifeless Rottweiler home from the vet believing she’d been put to sleep, planning to bury her the next day; come morning, she was up and about, the recipient of an insufficient barbiturate dosage. If plans go awry even when we dote on the creature we’re killing, small wonder that issues arise when injecting humans we’ve decided don’t deserve to live.

eventually adopted nationwide, as well as in some of those few other countries that still execute criminals.

The Illinois-based drug manufacturer Hospira slammed the brakes on the Chapman protocol in 2011 when it ceased production of sodium thiopental. Scrambling about for a substitute, death-penalty states turned to the drug that vets had been using for years: pentobarbital. But once word got out that Nembutal was now being used for capital-punishment purposes, public outcry in execution-averse Europe led to a pledge from its Danish manufacturer, Lundbeck, to stop selling it to states that practiced lethal injection. Undeterred, some corrections departments started buying compounded barbiturates from unregulated smaller pharmacies, while state lawmakers moved to shield the drugs’ provenance from journalists, defense lawyers and even judges. When in 2014 a lethalinjection recipient in Oklahoma

protested, “I feel my whole body burning,” there was no way for reporters to determine where the crucial dose of pentobarbital had come from.

Undependable drugs notwithstanding, the bigger problem may lie in ... well, in the execution. Someone has to do the injecting, and it matters quite a bit who that someone is. Though lethal injection superficially resembles a medical procedure (as we discussed here back in 1991, the prisoner’s arm typically gets swabbed with alcohol first, as though infection were a concern), inducing death in the healthy is something many doctors and other licensed pros choose to steer clear of. The American Nurses Association is “strongly opposed” to its members taking part in an execution, and the American Medical Association’s code of ethics states flat out that physicians shouldn’t get involved. In 2010 the American Board of Anesthesiology went further, reserving its right to revoke certification for lethalinjection participants.

With the pool of experienced injectors thus limited, it’s maybe unsurprising how often execution personnel can’t manage to find a vein. Stanley “Tookie” Williams got jabbed like a

Presley said he learned to play guitar at age 5 when a teacher showed him just three chords: D, G and C. “After that, he wouldn’t give me any,” Presley recalled.

Clearly, not everyone worships the King — or this avatar of him, anyway.

Passersby have hassled Presley for dressing like Elvis. He claimed that people have even thrown trash at him, and that once, a customer in Walmart pulled a knife on him.

His response: “I’m honoring my cousin. This is what I’ve done all my life.

I don’t know anything different.”

Why keep hanging out on the side of the road?

But Presley’s most eyebrow-raising story involved a meeting with the King himself. He alleged that this encounter, arranged by members of the Presley family, took place years after Elvis purportedly faked his own death in August 1977. In a claim that dovetails with several online conspiracy theories, Vermont’s Presley said his namesake changed his name to John Burrows and now works undercover for the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration.

Dubious as Presley’s stories may be, there’s no doubt that many people, including this reporter, find him entertaining.

karaoke nights and the occasional high school graduation party.

Why the obsession with Elvis?

Presley, who spoke with a passable Tennessee accent and the requisite Elvis lip curl, clearly enjoyed telling stories, which grew more colorful the longer I stayed. At one point, he claimed that his birth mother was Lilly Mae Smith, sister to Gladys Smith, Elvis Presley’s mother — making the King his first cousin.

An online genealogy website indicates that the real Elvis Presley’s aunt, Lillian Mann Fortenberry (Smith), was born on January 2, 1906; there’s no mention of her having a son. If she really was this Presley’s mother, she would have been 47 when he was born in 1953 — a rare occurrence in that era.

That was by no means his tallest tale.

Presley, who tries to land gigs as an Elvis impersonator whenever he can, claimed that during a trip to Staten Island five years ago, he met actress Ann-Margret and sang “Love Me Tender” to her 97-year-old mother. Later, he asserted that he’d sung “Viva Las Vegas,” from the 1964 Elvis film of the same name, while Ann-Margret danced behind him. “That just blew my mind,” Presley growled in a southern drawl.

requent drivers on Main Street in Bristol, or Route 7 in Charlotte, may have spotted a man parked on the side of the road who sports a black pompadour, bushy sideburns, rose-colored sunglasses, a white dress shirt and black dress pants. Usually he leans against a white ’87 Cadillac with Vermont plates that read “2 ELVIS.” If you’re lucky, he’s got a guitar with him — and might even serenade you.

Vermont’s roadside Elvis, who’s become a fixture in these parts, isn’t hawking anything but good-natured smiles. Typically, he spends an hour or two waving at passing motorists, who greet him with puzzled stares, waves and toots of the horn. Occasional tourists or Elvis fans stop and snap selfies with him to show friends that, despite official reports to the contrary, Elvis hasn’t left the building. WTF? If you’re all shook up, that’s all right.

That was no ghostly apparition you saw, but Elvis Aaron Presley — just not the one of “Hound Dog” and “Heartbreak Hotel” fame. This Elvis Presley, born Archibald Anderson Elvis Smith, legally changed his name several years ago to match that of his idol — and can show a Vermont driver’s license to prove it.

The man who would be King and I met last week at his one-bedroom duplex in Bristol, where Presley, 63, lives with his wife of 38 years, Ruth Galvin.

Their living room smells of cigarette smoke and features a large fish tank and TV set. No bullet holes in the latter. Not much bigger than a double wide, the apartment is cluttered with Elvis memorabilia, including several 1950s concert posters and glossy photos.

Lining two walls are half a dozen guitars along with a banjo, bass and several Fender amps. Presley also has a 1960sera stereo cabinet that’s connected to a turntable, a reel-to-reel player and an eight-track tape deck. “It’s also got an AM/FM radio with a white eye that lights up if it gets close to a station,” he announced proudly.

Presley wasn’t born in the Green Mountain State, he said, but grew up in multiple foster homes before being adopted by a family in Salisbury. He’s since lived in Tennessee and California, he said, and worked for a time as a truck driver, just as his namesake did. He also claimed to have a brother living in Arizona who looks just like Johnny Cash

Like any good soul album, it’s heavy with moody, plunging grooves, wailing horns and the sort of bittersweet ache that can nudge romantic melancholy into a sea of tears. Then again, the Burlington singer’s latest is lush with grooving beats, exultant horns and a glittering optimism that embraces the transcendent power of love. Even the heartbroken might find it transformative.

By My Side is a soul-music Rorschach test. How you hear it might depend on your perspective and emotional state. In part, that’s because Wright’s full-length debut runs the gamut of emotions, from the lovelorn slow burn of the Brett Hughes-penned “Who’s Your Fool” to the triumphant declaration “All About You,” with numerous stops in between.

But the music itself offers subtle mutations that suggest an evolution is afoot.

the impressive collection of rings that complements her gypsy-chic look. She’s dressed mostly in black, her long dark hair tied up under a light, colorful scarf — not one of the many hats that have become something of a signature.

“Or the Abdominal Slow Band,” she continues, rolling her eyes in exasperation. “It’s embarrassing after a while.”

Wright pauses, and then concedes, “But the name really is kind of a mouthful.”

It’s also a name with which the group has earned a reputation. Since forming in 2010 out of an informal weekly residency at the Bean, KW&ISB have grown into one of Burlington’s signature draws. They are on a short list of local bands that can currently sell out the 800-person-capacity Higher Ground Ballroom, a feat they achieved earlier this year.

The band tours often around the Northeast. At home, they are perennial winners in multiple categories in the Seven Daysies, the annual readers’ choice awards published by Seven Days. In fact, this year Wright became only the third singer in the 14-year history of the poll to win Best Vocalist. She unseated Potter, who had held the title since Tammy Fletcher won it in 2003 and 2004.

In short, the Indomitable Soul Band has become an indubitable soul brand.

And that is precisely the problem.

“For us, as a group, soul is the starting point, not the ending point,” says Wright.

In other words, she and her bandmates would prefer not to be pigeonholed by that four-letter word in their moniker.

Wright is a native of Rochester, N.Y. After graduating from Alfred University in 2008, she toured as one half of Loveful Heights — the other half was Wright’s best friend, Maggie Clifford.

Burlington and Radio Bean were regular stops for the folk duo. Wright grew increasingly fond of the Queen City and the community around the artsy coffee shop — not to mention its owner, Lee COURTESY OF SHEM ROOSE

caught glimpses of the band’s transformation in live shows. They can hear the new sound crystallized on By My Side when the album is officially released on Friday, November 18. That same day, Wright and co. will celebrate with a concert at the Higher Ground Ballroom in South Burlington.

If the record’s tweaking of genre conventions comes as a surprise, perhaps a bigger one is what’s missing from the album cover: the Indomitable Soul Band. By My Side is billed as a Kat Nectar’s, 2013 Wright album.

Vermont music fans — particularly those still rattled by Grace Potter’s split with the Nocturnals — might wonder whether Wright has gone full diva. Has she?

Not really. For one thing, the ISB is still intact, its individuals arguably more important than ever to the whole. The name change presents Wright as the (indomitably eyebrowed) face of the group and is, frankly, a shrewd branding strategy. Perhaps even more, it embodies the declaration of independence inherent in By My Side, a work that indulges fundamental soul influences while giving itself the freedom to expand into broader, and sometimes disparate, sonic realms.

Anderson, whom she would marry in 2011. (Anderson coined the name the Indomitable Soul Band.)

In 2010, local jazz musician Anthony Santor took a hiatus from the popular Thursday night jazz series he had long hosted at Radio Bean. Anderson was searching for something to fill the void.

That’s when Wright, who had by then settled in Burlington, teamed up with a handful of the jazz-session regulars to sing soul covers. A new series dubbed Soul Sessions emerged. It was an instant success.

The band’s rotating cast eventually coalesced into a core group that included keyboardist Shane Hardiman, bassist Josh Weinstein and saxophonist Jake Whitesell — all current ISB members — as well as drummer Dan Ryan, who now plays with Burlington pop band Madaila.

Gradually, the band began appearing beyond the Bean. A prime slot on the Church Street Marketplace during the 2012 Burlington Discover Jazz Festival served as the group’s coming-out party to wider local audiences. From there, KW&ISB have climbed steadily to regional renown.

Along the way, they began to play original material alongside covers of Aretha Franklin and Jackie Wilson. In 2013, the band released Introducing…, a six-song EP of original songs patterned — almost to a fault — on the Daptone Records model of throwback soul.

“I kind of hope that album disappears from the Earth,” Wright says with uncharacteristic self-consciousness.

It’s a striking comment, particularly given the record’s positive reception.

Among other accolades, it appeared on this publication’s end-of-year list of best Vermont recordings.

At the time, the EP was a worthy companion to the band’s live act, yet in hindsight it does seem a little precious and safe.

“When we made the EP, we really were just winging it and doing what we knew how to do at that time,” Wright told Seven Days in an email earlier this year. “We didn’t take any chances on the EP, and we didn’t have a mentor … We’ve matured a lot as a band since then.”

Indeed they have. Introducing… verged on a rote recitation of soul music tropes. Wright and the band have since developed a leaner, more provocative approach to soul music, as evidenced on By My Side. In the process, they may have developed a new identity.

“It’s been a conscious choice to shift from playing things like an R&B jazz band would play them,” Wright explains.

“We don’t want to be a jazz group. We want to have songs on the radio.”

So a leaner, cleaner name makes sense. “Kat Wright” is also a slightly cooler one, and certainly easier to remember.

“There are kind of unspoken rules for what makes a band name really stupid or really cool,” offers Wright. “Don’t use the name of any liquor. Don’t use the word ‘band.’ Don’t use the genre. Those are just the rules of cool.”

Another rule: Understand the music world’s hierarchy.

“If we play in the South, in New Orleans, and let’s say we open for Sharon Jones, who’s the ‘indomitable’ soul band then?” posits Wright. “It’s sure as hell not us.”

of horns above a laid-back rhythm set down by Weinstein and drummer Ezra Oklan. Wright enters with her signature mix of swagger and sweetness. Her pure-toned croon is both confident and restrained. The classically styled cut wouldn’t have felt out of place on the band’s 2013 EP. The same could be said of the following number, “Come Dance.” Its propulsive, gospel-tinged groove and insistent backbeat owe a debt to Jackie Wilson and late ’60s Chicago soul. But the most striking thing about both songs may be what you don’t hear.

The Indomitable Soul Band is composed of highly respected and accomplished instrumentalists. Yet their collective virtuosity may have been a curse as much as a blessing. In live performances and on Introducing…, the band’s arrangements were cluttered; you could sense individuals fighting for space. That was true not just of the players but of Wright, as well.

“We’ve had so many discussions over the years where it’s like, ‘Are we playing this song so that you can solo all over it, or is it so that I can tell a story?’” she says.

The subtle strength of By My Side is its refined and tidy arrangements. On

the title cut, for example, Hardiman — an endlessly creative jazz pianist — offers little more than stabbing staccato chords. Bob Wagner, known throughout the Green Mountains as a guitar monster, adds only fleeting accents. They haunt the margins of the song, which is not to say they’ve been marginalized. It’s exactly what they should be doing.

“To me, the idea was to go from [being] a band that’s allowed to jam along for their own well-being to [being] a platform that allows Kat’s voice to really shine,” says album producer and engineer Joel Hamilton by phone.

Hamilton, whose credits include work with Tom Waits, the Black Keys and Puss N Boots, among many others, recorded Wright and band in March at his Studio G Brooklyn. “The space for the band to operate is in the margins around her vocal phrasing,” he continues. “They’re all great musicians. So when they’re given a second to do something, they make great use of that time.”

That renewed discipline accomplishes two important things. Most obviously, it turns the spotlight on Wright and her vocals. But it also opens the door to more deliberate experimentation.

Many of the songs on By My Side underwent significant revisions

and willingness to sublimate egos for the good of the songs.

“This is definitely not a guitar record,” says Wagner recently over coffee. “And that is awesome.”

He’s right. By My Side is definitively a collaborative record. Though just one name appears on the cover, all inside songwriting credits go to the Indomitable Soul Band. That’s an acknowledgment that each member’s contributions are indispensable. But By My Side also exemplifies the notion that, for those individual contributions, “less is more.”

“If you were putting together the X-Men, you wouldn’t want seven people that shot lasers from their eyes,” says Hamilton. “Everybody has their superpower in this band, and that’s what we were trying to bring out.

“The rhythm section plus that guitar sound is what’s making the band cook,” he continues. “And then you add Kat’s vocals and the wild-card keyboard player and these beat-up horns — and I mean that lovingly. To me, there was a chemistry that was obvious from the outside, but nobody had seen it yet.”

Wright agrees. “When we made the EP, we were not so sure of who we were as musicians in this context,” she says.

“We’ve had a lot of time to think about what’s authentic to us and what draws from our lives and inspirations. And we wanted that to be apparent in the arrangements and give ourselves more freedom to express ourselves in different kinds of songs.”

With By My Side, that is exactly what they’ve done. m

between conception and final recording. The album’s fourth track, “You’ve Got Problems,” best exemplifies that process.

Wright explains that the tune was originally written with a feel akin to that of David Bowie’s “Let’s Dance.” But when the band brought it to Hamilton, something wasn’t working.

“He wasn’t into it,” recalls Weinstein by phone. “He was like, ‘This song has problems.’”

“Sometimes the drum thing is cool and the horn thing is cool, but together you wind up pouring orange juice in the chicken soup,” Hamilton says. “They’re both individually things that people might want, but you end up dumping the whole thing. That song was an orangejuice-in-the-chicken-soup moment.”

As they struggled to nail the take, Wright excused herself from the studio to get some air. While she was out, the band says, Hamilton took the reins.

He reconstructed the tune from the drums up. The producer instructed Oklan, with whom he had worked previously on other projects, to play a skittering, James Brown-style beat.

Everything else fell into place around it.

By the time Wright returned, the song had been totally reimagined.

“I had to completely rethink how I sang the song,” says Wright. “What’s on the album is really the first time I had ever sung it that way.”

“You’ve Got Problems” is the most overt example of the band’s openness to experimentation, but it’s hardly the only one. Throughout the album, the band veers into a variety of stylistic terrains — from the psychedelic blues bent of “The Light” to the electro-island feel of “Way With Words” to the slinky neo-soul of “I Do.” Only a year ago, none of this might have been possible. That’s partly a credit to Hamilton’s guidance. But it’s equally a testament to the band’s musicianship

At 10 a.m. on October 25, two days before my 58th birthday, an HR flunky in from out of town told me my position had been eliminated. “What is my position?”

I asked her. She checked her paperwork and answered in corporate-speak.

“Oh,” I said. “I thought I was a reporter.”

When I got home, I called my daughter, a college freshman, to tell her the news. Then I posted my layoff announcement, as written the night before, on Facebook and received an avalanche of responses from readers.

Where have all the stories gone?, they wondered.

Ten days after the layoff, I got a text from a friend: “Gannett stock down 30 percent from October 25.”

In the newsroom I learned the full contents of the corporate email, the one I deleted on the road: Layoffs coming in the morning. I had two stories to write; surely no one would bust up that endeavor.

That night, another email arrived.

This one instructed me to attend a meeting at 10 the next morning.

Reporters get hunches, and I had a strong one. For the first time in my life, I wrote a news brief about myself. If the ax came down, I’d have a coherent thought stashed away.

n the barely relevant world of newspaper reporters, I win the prize for Most Naïve.

I was stunned, shocked, dumbfounded, blown away (and crushed) when the Burlington Free Press — a Gannett-owned newspaper — laid me off after 25 years at the paper.

In that time, I never read the business pages. I didn’t check stock prices or pay attention to media mergers. I laughed when spin-off companies with names like Tegna and Tronc were formed.

I liked talking to people and writing stories. This little duet has infinite variations, and I played them from the football field at Burlington High School to the back roads of the Northeast Kingdom.

I was traveling on one of those roads when an email from the Gannett CEO popped up on my iPhone. I read words like “unified,” “honesty” and “transparency” in Bob Dickey’s opening lines — then deleted the message. Nothing interesting here, I told the photographer on assignment with me.

It was late October, and we were heading to a rum distillery in a high field outside St. Johnsbury. The route itself leads to a treasure trove of stories — past the homes of artists, farmers, poets and bakers.

We drove through a town whose defunct restaurant, River Run, was known for its catfish and blueberry pancakes.

The stories out of River Run were as reliably appetizing as the food.

We glimpsed in the hills the homestead we reported on last year, arriving one day at the break of dawn for a story about a city girl making a “life in the stix.”

But today was craft distillery day. At Dunc’s Mill, we talked to its founder — an anthropologist who conjured a second career in spirits — and tasted his rum.

hawna Shapiro was horrified when she heard her own accent for the first time. At age 13, the Oklahoma native recalled, she left a message on an answering machine belonging to the family for whom she babysat. When she arrived at their house, she heard that message being played back.

“Oh, my God. I sound like a hick. I felt like a redneck. I don’t want to sound that way,” Shapiro remembered thinking. Even before the incident, she had been selfconscious about her speech. Later, during her senior year of high school, Shapiro’s family moved to Colorado, where she tried so hard to lose her accent that she mispronounced words such as “crayon.”

“I used to say ‘crown’ because I was trying not to sound ‘twangy.’ It’s called overcorrecting,” she said.

CULTURE

Today, Shapiro is an assistant professor of writing and linguistics at Middlebury College — someone who thinks about language for a living. She tells her answering-machine story to first-year students in her course FYSE1405, Language and Social Justice, to encourage them to rethink their own personal biases.

This fall is the second time Shapiro has taught the interdisciplinary firstyear seminar, which explores the relationships between language and power and how linguistic prejudice contributes to social inequality. The course, which she first taught in 2013, satisfies one of the students’ general-education requirements.

Shapiro’s scholarship focuses on ESL writing instruction and high-school-tocollege transitions for immigrant and refugee students; she coauthored the book Fostering International Student Success in Higher Education. In the seven years she’s been teaching linguistics

at Middlebury, she said, social justice issues have come up during her classes, but she never had a chance to delve into them. So she decided to create a course that would combine her area of expertise with issues such as discrimination, assimilation and identity.

“If I were to rename [the class], it would be something like Language and Social Inequality or Language and Social Privilege,” she said.

According to Shapiro, when we discuss language, we’re actually talking about race, class and gender. “When [people] talk about someone who doesn’t sound educated, they often mean they don’t sound middle-class,” she said. “Or they might even mean they don’t sound white, if they really unpack what they mean by the word ‘educated.’”

One of Shapiro’s students, Ivey Noojin, agreed that our judgments on language tend to reflect our prejudices. “In the North, there is a very

condescending way people feel about the South and how they speak,” said Noojin, who is from South Carolina.

“One kid told me [that] every time I said ‘y’all,’ it made him cringe,” she continued. “People don’t realize that’s just the way people speak. It doesn’t mean they have less education.”

Last Thursday, Shapiro divided her 15 students into small groups and listened as they discussed the memoir Hunger of Memory: The Education of Richard Rodriguez. In the book, the Mexican American author recounts how he grew distant from his Spanish-speaking parents as he learned English and achieved academic success.

On the board, Shapiro writes “confusing message,” “disrespectful,” “have to change your identity to succeed?” and “controversy.” “Here are a few things that I noticed coming out of the conversations,” she told the students. “[Rodriguez is] pretty up-front, right?

‘Listen, I’m against affirmative action.

I’m against bilingual education.’ Were you surprised at how quickly he got into that?”

“It’s so anti-language to me. It almost hurt me how he rejected [Spanish, which] he once found so beautiful,” one student replied.

“I think it was good he was so upfront about his political opinions,” said another.

“I had a very similar experience that he did. But I had a different response,” said Peruvian student Brian Alberto Dulanto Rosario.

“Interesting. I’d love for you to say more,” Shapiro said.

“He seemed very shameful of his language at home. I think that’s an awful mind-set to have,” said the freshman from the Bronx — who prefers to be known as “Dula,” a moniker composed of the first four letters of his family name. “My parents didn’t learn English, and they still don’t know English,” he went on. “But I still see them as intellectuals.”

Dula, who has dual citizenship, speaks Spanish at home and identifies himself as a Peruvian and an inner-city kid. He said his entire life has been about code switching — the practice of using different languages or vocabularies in

different social contexts — to navigate the different worlds in which he lives.

“My mum actually wanted to name me Austin. She wanted me to assimilate into American culture, and it started with my name,” the freshman said in a later interview. “I use Dula to fight back.”

At his secondary schools, Dula said, it was impressed on him that it was more socially acceptable to speak English than Spanish or slang. He had similar experiences in the workplace. For three years, Dula helped pay his tuition at the college-preparatory Cristo Rey New York High School by interning each Friday at American Express. There, his coworkers corrected him whenever he said “yeah” instead of “yes,” he recalled.

“They said it’s not professional,” Dula said. “I understand that maybe the etiquette of the professional environment is slightly different from where I come from. I didn’t feel necessity to change, because they understood what I was saying.”

Dula has found it difficult to connect with the predominantly white, middle-to-upper-class demographic at Middlebury, he said. When he started school there, he felt that people would judge him for speaking with a “hood accent” or using certain pieces of slang.

For instance, Dula said, in the Bronx, he’d bid friends goodbye by saying, “Stay up, stay safe.” “That’s just because of the context where we lived. Lots of gang violence and police retaliation,” he explained.

“When I first got here, I used to say it, and people go, ‘Oh, OK,’” Dula said. “I can’t say that in the same way. It’s put out of context.”

Now he uses Standard American English to express himself in class and has found “little communities” of people with whom he can use his slang and Spanish. But Dula still wonders whether he should code switch at all, he said: “I’m still debating which is right, which I feel most comfortable with. I don’t want to limit my opportunities in any way.”

Like Dula, Noojin is used to code switching. Growing up in South Carolina, she recalled, she was taught to speak Standard American English at her private school. At home, she spoke with a strong Southern accent.

The classroom lessons began to affect her everyday speech. For instance, after she was told not to end sentences with a preposition, “I realized that I started propagating the same idea,” Noojin said.

“When I heard someone end their sentence with a preposition, I’d be like, ‘Don’t do that; that’s not the right way to do it.’”

Looking back, Noojin feels embarrassed about reprimanding others for how they spoke, she said: “It is so bad. I can’t believe I did that.”

Since taking the class, Noojin said, she’s been using more of her Southern slang as a way to celebrate her heritage.

“People make fun of it. But honestly, I enjoy it. It’s something I miss since I’m not there anymore,” she said.

These days, Noojin added, she’s also more attuned to biases when she watches TV. “The stupid person is Southern. It’s so stereotypical,” she noted. “We should accept other people’s differences and actually embrace them.”

Another student, Abla Laallam, said the class has been an eye-opening experience for her. “It made me aware of my own biases. I become more aware of subconscious judgments I sometimes have, and I’m trying to work on that,” Laallam said.

Through Shapiro’s class, she has learned that no two people have the same linguistic experience. Born in the U.S., Laallam grew up in Morocco speaking both French and Arabic. When she started learning English, people often noticed her accent and asked her where she was from, she recalled. Later, she asked others the same question — until the linguistics class made her rethink it.

“I realized that, to some people, it can be offending in a way. I’ve stopped doing that,” Laallam said.

Shapiro said she hopes that, by looking at social justice through the linguistic lens, her students will develop a skill set they can use to make judgments about issues relating to race, gender and class.

But students hoping that Shapiro will go easy on them when it comes to academic writing will be disappointed.

While slang flies just fine in the classroom, she looks for more standard grammar and spelling in their papers.

“I enforce certain standards in their writing — not because other ways of writing imply a lack of intelligence,” Shapiro said. Rather, she explained, it’s about getting the message across.

“When you’re writing an academic paper, you’re performing a certain type of discourse. If you choose not to conform, you may not reach the audience you want to reach.” m

or South Burlington author Seth Steinzor, Dante is “that poet for whom love was the / power that moved the sun.” Or so proclaims Seth, the protagonist of Steinzor’s new book-length poem Among the Lost. The work both revisits Dante’s Purgatorio and meditates on its relevance for today’s secular world.

The latter is itself a labor of love, for, as another character says ruefully of the 14th-century poet, “[T]he professors have / laid their claim and fenced him off. / Nobody goes near him without they’ve got a string of letters after their name.”

Steinzor’s book, the second in a planned trilogy inspired by Dante’s Divine Comedy, may help correct that perception by sending readers who pick up his accessible work, set in the 21st century, back to the original for comparison. Steinzor recommends John Ciardi’s translation of Dante for its poetry, and Robert and Jean Hollander’s for accuracy of meaning.

But only part of the pleasure of reading Among the Lost comes from seeing how it simultaneously echoes and modernizes the urtext of the poet of love.

Steinzor’s poem, written in 10-line stanzas, is also a story, a continuation of Seth’s tour of the modern afterlife that began in hell with To Join the Lost. Based on Inferno, that book was published six years ago by a Connecticut press. Among the Lost has been issued by the Burlington press Fomite, which will reissue Steinzor’s first book, as well.

Written in 33 cantos, like Purgatorio, Among the Lost portrays purgatory not as the tiered mountain of Dante’s imagining but as a flat, urban expanse beset by smog, a “muted industrial landscape of livid parking lots” and endless commuter traffic. As in To Join the Lost, Seth’s guide in this book is Dante, the author. Through him, Seth hopes to find Victoria, his first love, who died as a teenager 33 years before — just as Dante, in The Divine Comedy,, looked to his guide, Virgil, to lead him to Beatrice.

But Steinzor’s Dante has become less attentive since leading his charge out of

hell. For the most part, he leaves Seth, perceived as a bum during this part of his journey, to find his own way through the urban jungle.

Along the way, echoing Dante’s lambasting of his native Florence, Seth muses on the failings of politicians and America’s general disregard for the poor and disenfranchised. Several of the characters he meets — formerly unionized factory workers now out of work, boys with indifferent fathers, a pregnant girl entering an abortion clinic under police escort — may have been drawn from people in Steinzor’s working life. He’s an attorney for the State of Vermont, currently in the Department for Children and Families.

Occasionally, Dante reappears to point Seth vaguely forward. Once he directs him to look for a clue to his

Nearby, his best friend’s wife is dying.

Encased like a fish in a glass and metal tank, a man steers and applies the gas, as though he weren’t hip-deep in the Neversink, plying a carbide wand, the trout line’s perfect curlicue hissing overhead.

In the parallel Canto in Purgatorio, Statius is the

first-century Roman poet who worships Virgil and is overcome by meeting him. Statius Sneath, by contrast, is an alcoholic baby boomer who once wrote advertising copy. Despite his own faults, it’s he who diagnoses Seth’s problem.

Because of the latter’s journey through hell, says Statius, “The cords that bind your little bundle of self / have loosened.

It’s kind of like compassion.”

A greater transformation awaits Seth, who has yet to meet Victoria. But the kernel of his journey in this installment seems to lie in that goal of feeling

Steinzor’s language swings from crass to philosophical to tendentious, and it’s often beautiful. A chickadee is seen “zipping away in scalloped flight”; the exit from hell is a hospital “through which we are a moving absence.” The author is also not above poking fun at himself: “My son,” says Dante to Seth, “you think so much to remarkably little effect.”

That thinking makes for some absorbing passages and images, including a presidential library that materializes at dusk from “the rooms of night [that] surround me.” Within resides an Abe Lincoln who ponders, “Should I have let the South secede?”

Overall, however, Among the Lost seems bleaker than its predecessor because it is more familiar: the crumbling rust-belt city, the empty factories, the homeless group gathered around a barrel fire. As Seth tells a former brother of Local 75, “I’m just passing through here on my way to heaven.”

ovies and TV have claimed a lot of vampire/zombie territory, but horror works in any medium. While it may not provoke screams, the University of Vermont Theatre Department production of Dracula has enough hidden crypts, lightning bolts, creepy fog and ghostly moonlight rippling through curtains to bathe viewers in moody menace. Never underestimate the power of stage effects, which, like magic tricks, can seem more startling because they happen right in front of the viewer.

Horror’s allure involves a stimulating balance of predictability and surprise.

However hideous the danger, it follows tidy rules but strikes when unexpected.

The Dracula story is not designed to convince us that vampires exist, only that fear does. It follows the formulaic suspense structure of any good horror story by strewing victims in Dracula’s path with only luck or their wits to save them.

The UVM production plays it straight.

Steven Dietz’s adaptation of Bram Stoker’s Dracula is filled with affected Victorian language, but director Sarah Carleton anchors the production in sincerity. Investing the mannered speech and metaphors for sex with seriousness is a challenge, as Stoker was after a kind of moral horror that simply doesn’t register with contemporary attitudes about gender roles. The easy way out would be a tongue-in-cheek mockery of outdated manners. But Carleton doesn’t flinch, and the actors show a complete commitment to their characters.

Stoker’s epistolary novel is built from multiple points of view. Adapted for theater, it becomes something of a three-ring circus to link the story lines.

The ringmaster is Renfield, a vampire victim who gobbles flies and spiders for their blood. As a patient in the good Dr. Seward’s asylum in London, he’s an upstage presence for much of the play, breaking in with occasional action of his own as he struggles to escape and find his vampire master.

Count Dracula has been undead so long he’s nearly exhausted the blood supply in Transylvania and will have to travel despite the need to sleep each day in the soil of his birthplace. He hires attorney Jonathan Harker to find him a

property in London, and soon both men head there, Harker to return to his fiancée, Mina, and Dracula in search of new victims.

Mina and her friend Lucy are young and innocent, precisely Dracula’s target demographic. Seward proposes to Lucy.

She’s awash in suitors and says no; he gallantly offers lifelong friendship if he can’t have love. Seward proves a loyal protector when Dracula materializes out of the London fog. Harker, Seward and his colleague, vampire-slaying professor Van Helsing, strive to save her.

Soon enough, Mina is in peril, as well.

More than the plot or the performances, this production relies on overall theatricality for its impact. Carleton’s use of space and visual effects adds a top note of spectacle to scenes that are played, in essence, realistically. When it’s time to drive a stake into Lucy’s heart, Van Helsing, Seward and Harker don’t camp it up. They get the job done with grim determination and the occasional shudder, not showboating. But Lucy is carried to her crypt wearing deathly pale makeup that reveals a spectacular appetite for blood, and dies in a glow of green light.

Stoker’s novel is built on a big metaphor for sexuality, and this production covers some, but not all, of the terrain.

When sinuous vixens confront Harker in Dracula’s castle, Harker is appalled, not sexually stimulated. But Carleton taps the sexual undercurrent elsewhere, and the rapture of blood-drinking osculation couldn’t be portrayed with more ravenous overtones.

Sarah Kolozsvary portrays the full arc of Lucy’s character, from naïve girl to gluttonous vampire. Her bold physicality

makes a vivid counterpoint to the ornate dialogue. Kolozsvary plunges her head girlishly into her pillows when sharing her innocent secrets with Mina and later conveys the full sexual charge that Dracula elicits from her. She is radiant throughout, whether her eyes are shining from virtue or blood lust.

As Mina, Caitlin Durkin evokes the Victorian extreme of the infantilized female who dares not feel desire. Yet when Lucy notes that Mina’s courtship with Harker seems a little cold, Durkin reveals a little edge of lust.

Thomas Rattigan has a keen intensity as Harker and does an excellent job showing the stages of his mental disintegration in the weird world of Dracula’s castle. Sam Hall is all-in as Renfield, combining antic glee with strong and surprising physical movement, all designed to keep the audience off balance.

Christian DeKett uses a deep voice and a ramrod straight posture to make Dracula a forceful presence. His first scenes are played as an aging man, but once he’s found new victims, DeKett shows him physically rejuvenated.

Scenic designer Rosalind Isquith fills the three-quarter playing space with visually interesting multilevel platforms.

She hangs a magnificent gauzy curtain to delineate a bedroom wall upstage, then pins a moon in the dark blue sky.

Creative stagecraft produces a series of settings in the adaptable space, from Dracula’s castle to a ship to a graveyard.

Martin A. Thaler transports us to 1897 with richly detailed costumes, executed in calming Victorian tweeds. He adds dashes of excitement that suit the characters, such as a boldly cut suit for Harker and billowing nightclothes for Lucy. Dracula’s red vest and cape are restrained for a dignified count who likes to stay in the shadows but can’t resist showing off his power.

Dracula is as much mood as story. The experience of any horror tale is wishing away what’s awful yet knowing it’s what you came for. The suspense lies in when and how, not if. This production rewards the audience with big effects and performances that never stray from a Victorian sensibility. m Contact: alex@sevendaysvt.com

he tincture shot leaves a cool burn in the back of the throat, like the lingering chill of a cough drop. It’s bitter but delicate. The emerald-green drops glint as they fall from the stopper.

This is Free Verse Farm’s digestive tincture, a concentrated solution of chamomile, peppermint, ginger, fennel, burdock root and dandelion steeped in alcohol — in this case, organic neutral cane spirits. The medicinal tincture is a product of the farm’s small herb-growing enterprise off a snaking dirt road in Chelsea. Where the land’s original owners once grazed cows, Taylor Katz and Misha Johnson have planted the rolling hills with apothecary purpose.

Everything but the ginger is grown here.

The tincture is just one of the couple’s creations. Harvested and crafted by hand, their herbs are made into tisanes, medicinals, remedies and body-care products, as well as culinary ingredients.

Katz, who is also a poet, and Johnson, a photographer, sell their wares online and in local farmers markets. The Free Verse farmers are part of an expanding community of local herbalists — both growers and educators — who strive to shift the modern disassociation between what one eats and how one feels.

But eating for wellness does not have to entail a $15 “superfood” smoothie or vitamin supplements in rainbow colors.

The idea of Western herbalism is much simpler, says Katz: Use the plants that are natural to your environment.

“The spectrum of Western herbalism focuses on what’s native to Europe and North America. We focus on growing what’s natural to this environment,” says Johnson. “There’s no reason things like peppermint, chamomile and calendula can’t be grown in Vermont.” Indeed, chamomile, a daisy-like plant known for its calming and anti-inflammatory effects, grows on the fringes of Free

Verse Farm. More commonly, it is bulkshipped to the United States from places as far as Egypt.

And, like numerous farmers, beer and wine makers, and spirits distillers before them, Katz and Johnson say they “want to give our products that inherent Vermont terroir.”

Johnson and Katz met during freshman year at Connecticut College. She studied poetry; he studied environmental science. The two hit it off and together began the learning curve that would eventually result in an herb farm in Chelsea (with a name alluding to Katz’s literary passion).

In college, Johnson was particularly interested in ethnobotany — in his words, “the study of how people use and relate to plants across the globe.” Work in the college gardens, an internship with a biodynamic farm in Costa Rica and a few years’ experience at two organic farms in San Diego gave the couple the foundation for growing and consuming plants.

“But we were curious about what else we could tap into,” says Johnson.

The pair moved to Norwich, Johnson’s hometown, in 2013 and began planting the herbs that had captured his attention in his studies. After two years of planting in backyard garden boxes, the couple found the plot on Baraw Hill Road in Chelsea, a hillside property with 20 acres of uncultivated fields and 20 acres of woodland for foraging.

“We transferred all our plants, built a dehydrator and started seriously growing,” Johnson says. By 2015, Free Verse Farm was registered as an LLC. He and Katz sought further instruction at the Sage Mountain Herbal Education Center in East Barre under Rosemary Gladstar. The Vermont resident is widely considered “the fairy godmother” of modern Western herbalism.

When the Misery crew relinquished the space this October, the search was on for someone to take over, equipped with culinary prowess and an eye to the needs of the community.

Chef TESSA HOLMES of BLOSSOM

Among the chef’s favorite dishes in her seasonally shifting roster are butter-crust hand pies with local beef; custard tarts silky with agar and arrowroot instead of animal products; hearty salads dressed in a sweet chile sauce with sesame oil, mint and scallions; and cold-weather comforts such as homemade mac and cheese and rootvegetable tarts. Along with to-go items, Holmes’ new operation will offer morningmade pastries and breads and self-serve tea and coffee.

Come nighttime, the spot can be rented for Blossom-catered private parties or for area popups, as the Incubator was.

“I want to keep up the tradition of the Incubator,” says Holmes. “In buying the space, I sought an extension of my personal kitchen in a community I wanted to be a part of. For those who want to put on a menu for the night, we’ll carry on that culture.”

The seventh-generation Vermonter began her 20 years’ culinary experience at Heartwood Institute in California, a culinary arts program centered on nature, agriculture and food preparation. Back in her home state, she interpreted her training in the Vermont landscape, working as a private chef. She launched the catering biz about a year ago.

Soon after contacting her, Katz and Johnson began collaborating with her daughter and son-in-law, Melanie and Jeff Carpenter, owners for nearly 15 years of Zack Woods Herb Farm in Hyde Park. In May 2015, the Carpenters published the tome on medicinal herb farming, The Organic Medicinal Herb Farmer: The Ultimate Guide to Producing HighQuality Herbs on a Market Scale. With the Carpenters’ guidance, the Free Verse farmers expanded their knowledge of Vermont-specific herb growing, which eventually led to a partnership between them for trading supplementary herbs.

Benefits of the teamwork were immediately clear: More Vermont herbs meant a larger Vermont apothecary.

But Free Verse Farm’s herbal reach alone is vast for a seemingly small operation, with around 70 foraged and cultivated plant varietals in their repertoire. One herbal tea blend dubbed Rosy Cheeks contains rose petals, rose hips, rose geranium, lemon balm, calendula and marshmallow root (an anti-inflammatory and antitussive plant that has no relation to the puffy confection roasted over campfires). Herbs that grow wild around the property include raspberry leaf, St. John’s wort, yarrow, red clover, goldenrod, basswood, burdock root and woodland mushrooms.

The farmers’ in-home apothecary holds jars of dried rosemary, French thyme and sage, vials of immunity tincture, and tall, cylindrical canisters of catnip, anise hyssop, spearmint, tulsi and elderflower. Herbs that take several years before harvest — like elder, hawthorn and black cohosh — are passed to the Free Verse apothecary from the Carpenters’ extensive herbal inventory, mentions Katz. One canister from Zack Woods Herb Farm holds bags of dried lemon balm, milky oats and American skullcap. The last herb is a North American perennial commonly used for neurological support or as a natural antidepressant.

The couple markets their everexpanding apothecary online via their website, at the Norwich and Chelsea farmers markets, and through an array of specialty stores in Vermont, Boston and New York City. Though Free Verse Farm bears an increasing number of online orders and bulk-herb inquiries from across the U.S, “most of our sales are to Vermonters,” says Johnson. Since setting up shop two years ago, the couples’ sales — and the contents of their apothecary — both portray a steady climb.

Vermont is nationally known for cheese, beer, maple and dairy — and

rightly so — but the same agricultural landscape that fosters the state’s artisan culture also acts as a hub for herbal aficionados. Not only is the scope of northern woodland prime fodder for foraging, living in Vermont requires a closeness with the elements that makes the plants themselves more familiar.

“Vermont is among a few areas in the country that seems to have a higherthan-average concentration of herbal enthusiasts,” writes Jeff Carpenter in an email. “Plus, our state pretty much epitomizes the ‘buy local’ movement.

Herb growers have the good fortune of being able to market our produce in our own communities.”

Even with a relatively short growing season and harsh winters, “many of the most popular types of medicinal herbs used today are native to this bioregion,” Carpenter adds.

That statement is key to the practice

of herbalism: Unlike the often-pricey chemical concoctions in modern pharmacology, herbal ingredients can be as accessible as one’s backyard. Those “weeds” alongside roads might be elderberries, burdock, chicory or mugwort.

And, as Johnson, Katz and Carpenter agree, this is especially true in Vermont.

“Herbs are the people’s medicine,” says Johnson. “They don’t require patents or big labs or lots of money to make.

They can be available for anybody to use, and they’re meant to be used as companions, not crutches.”

That’s another central feature of herbalism: Herbs are meant as aids, not treatments.

“There are global interpretations of herbal medicine,” says Larken Bunce, cofounder of the Vermont Center for Integrative Herbalism in Montpelier, in a phone call. “The crux of Western herbalism is the focus on herbal education.

It’s about using medicinal plants as food for prevention of, and aid for, different kinds of health care concerns. It’s about connecting with a sense of well-being within a larger ecological context.”

In a nutshell, what Bunce means is that herbal medicine takes into account the patterns of nature as well as the patterns of physiological processes. If it’s freezing and wet outside and your

digestion is out of whack, for instance, warming spices such as turmeric and cinnamon can work in your favor.

“But,” Bunce adds, “we are careful to emphasize that we’re not practicing medicine like someone with years of medical-school training. We do not legally diagnose a disease and offer subsequent treatment. Herbalism is not about treating an illness,” she says. “It’s about incorporating plants into everyday use to increase our general wellness.”

Katz and Johnson agree that the pathways of modern pharmacology and herbal medicine needn’t be mutually exclusive — in fact, it’s better if they aren’t.

The scope of medical advancement in the past century is enormous, and useful. Consider that the 1918 influenza pandemic killed more people than did World War I; these days, a preventative shot is available at your local pharmacy.

Except among the very vulnerable, the illness is no longer fatal.

“It’s unbelievable what modern Western medicine has accomplished in terms of treatment and care,” says Bunce. “What [herbalists] add is the notion that no bodily system is immune to things like fear, politics, money or the weather.”

The tendency with modern medicine is to seek a quick fix, or to try and overcome the cards biology and genetics have dealt us. “But as human beings,” Bunce says, “we’re not just a part of nature. We are nature. We can’t divorce ourselves from the natural world … but we can use plants to bring ourselves closer to our bodies in an attempt to understand our complicated physical and emotional selves.”

Downing a teaspoon of herbal digestive tincture isn’t like taking a sugarcoated tablet of Tums or Pepto-Bismol.

And that’s the point: An herbal antacid requires being present in the process of consuming it. Free Verse Farm’s digestive tincture is strong in flavor, scent and mouthfeel. Its soft burn lingers like menthol — first hot from the cane spirits, then cooling from the peppermint.

And it might take more than one dose to begin affecting your gut.

“Herbs aren’t always intended for immediate relief,” says Katz. “It’s gradual.

It takes figuring out. You’re not just asking for what will erase your symptoms; you’re asking yourself what ails you and trying to answer that question by seeing yourself as a natural ecosystem of interconnecting parts.”

She offers a hypothetical: You’re about to leave on a three-hour drive and you have a wrenching headache, so you take an ibuprofen tablet and feel better in 20 minutes. Great.

Shellfish boil at M-Saigon Restaurant

Having completed significant renovations at its Shelburne Road storefront earlier this fall, Burlington’s M-SAIGON RESTAURANT (formerly M-Saigon Vietnamese Noodle House) has added Cajun seafood to its bill of fare.

On high-top tables fitted with butcher-paper rolls and buckets, guests

can now crack into bayou-style shellfish boils built on crawfish, shrimp, crabs and clams; and lobsters sided with boiled potatoes, corn and andouille sausage. Other new additions include fried soft-shell crab and Cajun fries.

M-Saigon manager ALEX NGUYEN became familiar with the coastal

fare while living in the Gulf South. When he returned to Vermont earlier this year, he convinced his brother, M-Saigon owner Khoi Nguyen, to add shellfish to the menu. “We just figured there’s nowhere [serving] this [kind of food] in Vermont,” Alex says. “So we wanted to bring that to Burlington.”

Fans of the shop’s banh mi and noodle bowls need not worry: Untitled-27 M-Saigon’s Vietnamese menu is unaffected by the changes.

“Herbalism isn’t an attempt to fix existing ailments,” says Johnson as Katz steeps lemon verbena leaves in hot water.

“But if you have a headache every morning,” Katz continues, “you might ask yourself why, instead of routinely covering up the symptoms.” Are you dehydrated? Are you eating enough?

Are you unhappy about where you’re driving?

Admittedly, she says, thinking about yourself in that way is difficult. It’s easier to consider your headache a random bodily event than the side effect of, say, a stressful relationship. But questioning your constitution — how it reacts to cold versus heat, how it responds to crowds

Going With the Flow In Burlington’s Old North End, Drifters offers laid-back snacking for grown-ups B Y HA NNA H PAL M E R EGAN

n June 2015, Phinneus Sonin announced that he was closing the Psychedelicatessen, the funky Old North End café that had served dumplings and strange performances on a pay-as-you-please basis since early 2014. As word circulated that new owners would transform the space into a tiny taproom — the kind that serves Vermont brews and locavore comfort fare such as tacos and poutine — many of Burlington’s boho-leaning radicals heaved a collective groan: Well, there goes the neighborhood.

But new owners Michael Lucey (who purchased the Burlington Hostel in 2014) and Andrew Ryan promised to keep the P-Deli’s come-as-you-are spirit alive. Their new bar and café, Drifters, would be affordable, and they hoped to make space for live arts.

Early projections had Drifters opening last fall, but, as winter came and went, the space stayed dark. The friends had to work around Lucey’s hostel shifts and Ryan’s job as a cook at Wake Robin in Shelburne (where he still works as a sous chef ). They salvaged driftwood boards from the shores of Lake Champlain and cobbled them into tables, assembled a meandering chandelier using birch branches and light fittings, refinished floors and scrubbed the kitchen into working order.

When the restaurant opened in June this year, the menu was as promised: local beers, meads and ciders on draft; familiar, snackable fare, handmade down to the ketchup accompanying an $8 pair of local beef sliders. Visitors trickled in, but summer business was … quiet.

“No one knows this is here,” a friend told me, waiting for takeout at the bar last Wednesday. That friend, who lives two doors down from Drifters, said it took him four months to venture inside.

“I wasn’t ready to go through that door,” he said.

Not because Drifters didn’t look inviting, but because if the place was good enough, he feared, he might end up there nightly — and he’s not someone who can afford a nightly bar tab in Burlington.

Or maybe he can — when the price is right. “I mean, $3 Bud Ice tall-boys!” said the friend, tipping back a 25-ounce

can of fizzy Anheuser-Busch brew. “You can’t get that anywhere.”

Three dollars can also summon a glass of house red or white wine. Or, for $5, you can upgrade to a pint of hopped mead from Colchester’s Havoc Mead or 14th Star Brewing’s Tribute DIPA, among other draft pours, or to cans of Citizen Cider, or any number of other offerings, local and otherwise.

The modest price points carry through to the food menu. Dishes go for $5 or $8, except specials, which max out at $12. Last week, an $8 small plate brought four slices of duck-liver bruschetta that were so well composed, my date hesitated to eat them. “I feel like I’m destroying a little piece of art,” he said.

The crusty baguette toast gave way with a soft, buttery crunch. On top, rosettes of duck-liver mousse tasted of earthen poultry crème, punctuated with zingy pearls of whole-grain mustard and

tiny Mexican gherkins that popped like pickled grapes.

“If that was served on a piece of slate, I’d say I was at Hen of the Wood,” my companion said, licking his fingers.

Next, supple bites of parsnip gnocchi ($8), tucked beneath a tangle of fried shallots and wilted brown-butter greens, were a creamy foil for crunchy pecans and chips of shaved Parmesan. As I made my way through the multilayered

“I wonder if that’s a first date,” I said, nodding their way.

“This would be a good spot for that,” my friend said. Ever the analyst, he rattled off reasons why: The quick service and laid-back vibe would insulate against drag and awkwardness.

And the affordable price point kept the financial risk low.

If that first date went well, he added, the couple could “splurge” on a proper sit-down meal. “Actually,” he corrected himself, looking down at the $5 and $8 plates on the menu, “even if we tried to splurge, I don’t think we could here.”

But after three dishes shared between two people and a couple of drinks each, we left feeling full. m

assembly of flavors and textures, I thought, This could easily command $12 if you ordered it somewhere on Church Street.

Around us, the restaurant’s 25 seats filled with a mix of families and thirtysomething professional types. A student sat down for a meal with her parents; beside them, an older couple seemed mildly confused about how to order (from the counter by the door) and whether to bus their own table (yes, do).

Lucey brought over a flatbread ($8), which was all cracker-thin crust topped with spicy, tangy chile sauce and firm slices of seared pork belly. I crunched on the crust and watched as another couple sat down at a high top toward the back of the room. Their body language indicated mutual interest but lacked the easy fluidity one sees between established lovers.

Pastoral Poetry In an interview with the New York Times, poet Tess Taylor was asked to describe how a poem begins to take shape. “Sometimes as a title,” she responded. “Sometimes as a rhythm.” For her 2016 collection Work & Days, poems began as the result of her time spent planting, weeding and turning compost as an intern on a farm in the Berkshires. In the 28-poem cycle, the wordsmith digs into themes of season, self, food and place in the context of 21st-century chaos. Taylor shares her gift for verse as part of the University of Vermont Fleming Museum of Art’s Painted Word Poetry Series.

The three-piece ensemble Trio Da Kali is a part of this distinguished tradition, spreading the sounds and stories of the Republic of Mali. In the group’s spirited performances, member Mamadou Kouyaté plucks the strings of the bass ngoni while Lassana Diabaté strikes the keys of the wooden, xylophone-like balafon.

Hawa Kassé Mady Diabaté adds vocals, giving voice to a contemporary take on the ancient Malian repertoire.

DAVID TORN

11.09.16-11.16.16

He’s known for playing on recordings for the likes of David Bowie, Madonna and Tori Amos, but guitarist and composer David Torn is an artist in his own right.

After gaining prominence in the ’80s as a member of the jazz-fusion group the Everyman Band, Torn garnered a Grammy Award for his mixing and composing work and contributed to scores for films such as Friday Night Lights and The Big Lebowski.

The six-string master shows his chops during an improvised performance using looping, technology and other offbeat methods to create what he calls a “real-time composition.”

Nature Versus Nurture Madaila debate who they really are on their new album, Traces B Y JORD A N AD A M S

M

adaila front man Mark Daly doesn’t come from a musical family. Aside from his grandfather, who played big-band clarinet and saxophone, Daly is a lone troubadour in a large immediate family that leans more toward athletics.

Keyboardist Eric B. Maier does not come from an especially musical family, either.

Daly and Maier, who grew up together in Middlebury, both turned 30 this year and feel they’ve officially entered adulthood. They’re pondering life’s big questions, particularly how they’ve gotten to where they are as individuals and as a band. It’s one of the philosophical themes of Madaila’s new album, Traces, which was digitally released on Friday, November 4.

Seven Days sat down with Daly and Maier at a Burlington coffee shop, the former sipping java and the latter awkwardly eating a bowl of granola with an iced-tea spoon. They discussed several ideas and nascent plans for the band.

The first is “Madaila TV.” That’s a potential web series with episodes tailored to each member’s proclivities outside of the band — though they’ve been far too busy to take any steps toward doing this. The flagship segment is called “Mark Learns Things,” which playfully jabs at Daly’s admitted lapses in general knowledge. Each installment would quickly teach Daly about concepts of which he remains charmingly ignorant.

They have New Year’s Eve plans, too.

Madaila have inherited the coveted end-of-year slots at Higher Ground in South Burlington, a two-night run they’re calling “The Secret.” For now, the blowout is way too secret to talk about.

However, they mention they’ve been working with local design firm Solidarity of Unbridled Labour.

Maier and Daly are fighting fatigue. They just returned from a gig in Brooklyn opening for Twiddle, who formerly held the NYE slot at Higher Ground.

On the surface, Madaila and Twiddle may not seem complementary. Madaila are known for tight, R&B-influenced synth-pop, while Twiddle are unabashedly jam. But the two bands have been in each other’s orbits for more than a decade. They met 10 years ago at a local artists showcase at Higher Ground when Daly and Maier had their own jam band, Pale Moon.

In September, Madaila and Twiddle joined forces for a special “Twidaila” performance at the Burlington street festival Madaila on Main. Daly and Maier have been surprised that Twiddle’s audience, and jam fans in general, has been very accepting of Madaila. It’s one of the ways the band has learned to go with the flow. “[Now] we’re trying to straddle that line, having tight, catchy arrangements but also stretch and jam out,” says Daly.

“I’m a huge Phish fan,” he says, adding that he’s seen the Phab Four more than 200 times. “So there was definitely that nerdy, ‘Let’s go to the mecca, see where they’re from. Try to find the rhombus.’”

That a Phish-head would make a pilgrimage to Burlington is hardly novel. He even looked into attending the University of Vermont for college, but, because of its hefty price tag for out-of-state students, he ended up going to school in Connecticut. But Finoia’s fling with the city was not a one-night stand. He says he traveled to Vermont as often as he could during college for spring break, long weekends, just because, etc.

Finoia has performed in Burlington previously, including at the 2012 Green Mountain Comedy Festival and headlining the VCC last year. At the GMCF, he befriended VCC owners NATHAN HARTSWICK and NATALIE MILLER. When he decided to record an album, Finoia reached out to the First Couple of Vermont Comedy.

who will disburse the money to local charities. Local veterans can get free admission to either of the Friday shows — that’s Veterans Day, BTW. Also, the opening acts for all four shows are locals. MARLON FISHER, aka BIG FISH, hosts Friday. MIKE THOMAS hosts Saturday. ANNIE RUSSELL is the featured comedian both nights.

So why would a hot, up-and-coming NYC comic choose to record his debut comedy album in this lakeside hamlet?

“I just fucking love Burlington, man,” says a mildly hungover Finoia recently by phone.

OK, then. But let’s dig a little deeper…

Finoia, who is a regular on truTV’s “Impractical Jokers,” says he started coming to Vermont on vacation as a kid — often to Lake Willoughby and the Northeast Kingdom. When he discovered Burlington, he says it was love at first sight.

“I fell madly in love with the city,” he says. “There was just something about it.”

Finoia is now in his thirties. If we do a little backwards math, we discover that his connection to BTV roughly coincides with the rise of a certain iconic jam band.

in that insufferably precious way that out-of-towners tend to adore the Queen City. (I mean, yeah, we are totally cute and quaint. But still.) The New York City-based comedian has a crush on the city, and Vermont in general, that dates back to childhood. This weekend he will requite that love by recording an album at the Vermont Comedy Club in Burlington.

This Friday and Saturday, November 11 and 12, Finoia will do a four-show run at the VCC, which he will turn into his debut comedy album, Mike Finoia: Live in Burlington. And, aside from the fact that he’s not a Vermonter (at least not yet), it is an entirely locavore production.

For starters, he’s recording it at VCC, which is the first time the venue has been used for such a purpose — and, we think, the first time a large-scale comedy album has been recorded in BTV, if not Vermont, period. The audiophiles from Tank Recording Studio in Burlington will handle production and engineering. Local artist BRUNO TRACY whipped up the Vermonty-AF cover art. It features an anthropomorphic maple syrup jug sporting a ROLLIE FINGERS hipster ’stache — which was reproduced for the show posters. The shows are sponsored by St. Albans brewery 14th Star Brewing, which allows the proceeds to go to

music Nature Versus Nurture « P.68 “Satisfy the hippies, satisfy the hipsters,” Maier adds.

“Anything that starts with ‘hip’,” quips Daly.

We leave the coffee shop and head to the office of Future Fields. That’s the artist management, record label and recording studio that Maier founded with Madaila bassist and fellow Middlebury native Jer Coons. After a brief discussion of the year’s hottest R&B (Solange!) and riffing on fun words to say with a Vermont accent (remnant!), Maier and Daly discuss the new album and its themes.

First, it’s worth mentioning that Traces serves as the band’s debut recording as a unit. Daly alone tracked nearly everything on Madaila’s first album, The Dance. All five members play on Traces — Daly, Maier, Coons, drummer Dan Ryan and guitarist Willoughby Morse.

Stylistically, Madaila haven’t reinvented the wheel between their first and second records. They just got, as it were, bigger rims and deeper treads. All of the Madaila calling cards introduced on The Dance are present on Traces: Daly’s Justin Timberlake-esque falsetto; the glamour of disco and early ’80s R&B; warm synth punctuated by prickly, picked guitars and harmonic, stadiumready choruses. But everything is bigger, richer and fuller. Madaila have brought their sound into the next dimension.

Don’t confuse this description with a rosy take on the sophomore slump, in which a band simply regurgitates what fans have come to love and expect. It’s more of a sophomore slant as Madaila’s signature characteristics are pushed to new heights. Perhaps that’s a result of operating more collaboratively — though Daly is still the primary songwriter. As he has done since the band was known as DALY — their moniker before settling on Madaila in 2014 — he independently creates demos, which he then presents to the band for reinterpretation.

“Sculptors don’t do group projects.

That would be a shitshow,” says Maier as he affectionately cradles his dog, Sky. “[We all] have different strengths and potentials, but the name of the game is letting Mark bring this image to life and, as a group, help to finish it.”

Another reason Traces sounds so much bigger is because it’s largely a concept album. Intentionally bleeding into one another, songs flow continuously within two distinct parts. These are loosely defined by the tracks “Nature” and “Nurture” — likely the tracks marking sides A and B of the eventual vinyl

release. It seems that Daly and company are pondering the age-old question of why people are the way they are. Is it something innate, or are we shaped by our surroundings? Side A, “Nature,” explores internal forces; Side B, “Nurture,” explores the external.

“When I thought of the concept, I was expecting to be swayded — swayded?” Daly asks, turning to Maier.

“Swayed,” says Maier.

“Swayed. Mark learns!” Daly sings, referring back to “Mark Learns Things.”

“I expected to go to either side, like, ‘[It’s] definitely nature, or [it’s] definitely nurture,’” Daly says. “What I realized is that there’s no right answer. I expected to choose a side, but I realized that you can’t.”

The lyrics reflect this contradiction.

On “Nature,” Daly croons, “You see / it’s my personality / tightly wound around my soul / born into it / can’t undo this nature of mine.” However, on “Nurture,” he suggests, “What you learn to be externally / will form to be the way you are / this you can’t ignore.” Their stance on the nature-versus-nurture debate remains intentionally ambiguous. It’s the awareness and the ability to recognize both factors that seem important to them.

The album’s title conjures up the idea of what’s still visible after something all but vanishes, but Daly explains that it’s more about the idea of paths and outlines.

“Traces can be a path,” he says. “What path are you going down? It’s kind of like tracing the outline of the soul, not to sound too heady,” he continues. Then, a rhetorical question: “Are we just specks of dust or gas in this weird universe, or are we leaving a mark?”

Madaila have unequivocally left a mark in Burlington. They’ve nurtured the right relationships — not just in the music world but in the community at large. And that has allowed them many opportunities to fully realize their grand vision.

“You can’t just push something through with force,” says Maier. “You really need to take it slow. We’re trying to do this for a long time. [We’d rather] take a year to do something in a way that lasts instead of [taking] a month to do something in a way that doesn’t last.

It all blends into wanting to collaborate with the community.” m

don’t think as much about what you’re really saying. You just want laughs,” he says. “There are certain crowds that expect a certain level of intelligence and force you to raise your game. Burlington has that kind of crowd.”

It also has that kind of comedy club.

Finoia is quick to heap praise on the scene that orbits the VCC. “There are just so many hilarious people in Burlington,” he says. He adds that word about Vermont comedy is getting around.

“It’s sad how many cities you go to where club owners don’t respect and nurture the local talent,” he says. “But Nathan and Natalie understand how important that is. And the comedy community [in NYC], you’ll talk to people at the Comedy Cellar and you’ll hear all these atrocious stories from the road. But then sometimes you’ll hear, ‘Dude, I just did the Vermont Comedy Club. What a club.’ And I smile to myself and think, Way to go, Nathan and Natalie.”

In other news, if you see only one show this week … you should probably get out more, loser. Sorry, that was mean. But seriously, especially for early November, it’s a nifty weekend on the local scene.

But if I had to choose just one show, it would be a toss-up between HISS GOLDEN MESSENGER on Friday, November 11, and MARGO PRICE on Saturday, November 12, both at the Higher Ground Showcase Lounge. Let’s make a case for each.

studio, local beer and local openers and make it something the whole city can enjoy and get behind,” he explains.

“Because one day, like it or not, I’m gonna live there.”

Wait, what?

“Everybody has their own definition of success,” says Finoia. “Mine is just to have a place on the lake in South Burlington and live amongst the great people of Burlington.”

So what might Vermont comedy fans expect from their neighbor-to-be? For a clue, maybe give one of your old Phish bootlegs a spin.

“I’m a huge music fan,” says Finoia, who hosts a music podcast called JamCast, in which he interviews musicians about their favorite music.

“The music I like is different every night,” he continues. “It’s imperfect. So I’m excited to take that aesthetic that I learned from Phish, and the GRATEFUL DEAD and jazz, and just capture one night in my life as a comic.”

So, Mike Finoia: the jam band of comedians?

Actually, yeah.

Finoia says he is not a “What’s the deal with airline peanuts?” type of comedian. His style is conversational and sometimes confrontational, though he is his own favorite target.

“Most of it is me calling myself out on my own bullshit,” he says. And, like a good jam show, his sets tend to unfold unpredictably.

“I know what I’m going to open with and what I’ll close with,” he explains.

“But it’s the ride in the middle that’s the fun part.” Finoia adds that Burlington provides a perfect setting for his comedy. “I like an intelligent crowd,” he says. “And, believe it or not, Burlington has taught me a lot about comedy.

REVIEW this Sten Bowen, Four Living Creatures

musician/producer Linda Perry of 4 Non Blondes, dubs him a musical genius.

Bowen makes art-pop that blends folk, electro and neoclassical influences.

He’s a masterful multi-instrumentalist, playing guitar, bass, drums, piano, synthesizer and mandolin. His vocals can be raw and untouched (“The Tenderest Kiss”) or highly processed and Auto-Tuned (“Blood on the

Mountain”). Occasionally, Bowen shouts his way through his thoughtful contemplations (“Be the Life for My Brain”).

Unlike conventional pop, which follows a fairly regimented pattern of verses and choruses, Bowen’s songs often reinvent themselves as they unfold. New hooks and musical elements emerge well into a song’s progression. This music demands a close listen.

Bowen describes the tracks included on Four Living Creatures as part of his search for God — though how he defines the deity is not made explicit, if he defines Him/Her/It at all. He doesn’t shy away from asking questions.

On “Be the Life for My Brain,” Bowen repeatedly ponders, with seeming desperation, “I don’t see what this has got to do with me.” It’s as if he’s poring over a holy text, trying to connect the

dots between lofty philosophy and his earthly existence.

“One Day We All Will Shine Like the Sun” has the structure and cadence of a hymn, and possibly dwells on the concept of the Rapture. “But You Do Not Answer” buzzes with chaotic synths, like the noise a reverent soul must learn to filter when prayers seem to fall on deaf ears.

The depth and intricacy found on Four Living Creatures is even more staggering when you learn that Bowen is currently sitting on 10 unreleased albums. Whether he’ll ever release them is anyone’s guess, though Bowen hopes to bring his music to life with a full band. Until then, his existing offerings invite discussion and repeat listening.

Four Living Creatures by Sten Bowen is available at stenbowen.bandcamp.com.

considered one of the best rappers, period. Fittingly, Building Bridges also showcases young, hungry talents such as Vvs Verbal, who shows up on nine of the 12 tracks here, and Shadow the Great, from the remarkable Loaf Muzik collective.

Make no mistake, though, this is very much General Steele’s show. An effortlessly commanding presence on the mic, his verses always impress. At a stage in his career where most rappers would fall back on their reputations, Steele raises the bar with some searing,

honest songwriting. He is introspective without being self-indulgent and packs his life experience into sparse, brilliant lines throughout.

Steele’s approach clearly sets the tone. The guest appearances are uniformly on point; nobody is halfstepping. Every track is in keeping with the album theme: transcending our circumstances, improving ourselves and building a better future.

Es-K’s jazzified boom-bap turns out to be a perfect counterpoint for General Steele’s stark baritone flow.

(Two of the beats here were produced

by Tennessee beatsmith and longtime Es-K collaborator Central Parks; they fit seamlessly.) It’s obvious you’re listening to technicians who study hip-hop as much as they love it. The flow and sequencing here is flawless.

The mix is dense but crystal clear, laying boom-bap drum programming over musically inventive, constantly shifting instrumentation. Rap performances aside, perhaps the single most impressive aspect of this album is

how much subtle complexity is baked into these hypnotic beats.

Building Bridges is a monumental release that represents years of work.

Fortunately, it’s getting the treatment it deserves. In an era of ephemeral, digital-only “album releases,” Es-K and General Steele opted to make the project available on both CD and high-quality vinyl. The vinyl edition showcases the intricate design work of Joe Buck, famous for his iconic De La Soul Is Dead cover.

By virtue of his tireless work ethic and genuine personality, Es-K has been growing his reach and reputation for a while now. Time will tell, but it’s hard to believe this album won’t be looked back on as his “big break” moment. One thing’s for sure: He’s done Vermont proud.

Building Bridges by General Steele and Es-K is available November 11 on CD and vinyl at Pure Pop Records in Burlington and online at bucktownusa. com, fatbeats.com, iTunes and Amazon.

Tucked away in Reading is a somewhat enigmatic musician named Sten Bowen. It’s not that he’s a recluse or intentionally mysterious. He’s been a working composer and musician since starting out with the now-defunct Boston rock band Alotia in the early 2000s. A Google search yields a handful of recent results, from his work codirecting Guster’s music video for “Do You Love Me?” to his compositions for Massachusetts creative firm Bait & Tackle Ad Co. Bowen himself rarely takes center stage, but in September he quietly dropped a home-recording project called Four Living Creatures. In its sparse liner notes, a longtime associate,

One constant in the ever-changing hip-hop game is the importance of the co-sign. Nothing confers legitimacy on an up-and-coming young artist quite like doing work with established veterans. It’s an artistic honor and just plain good business. That’s why Vermont producer Es-K’s latest project, Building Bridges, is such a landmark achievement. Far beyond the traditional guest verse and photo op, this is a fulllength collaboration with New York City rap legend General Steele of SmifN-Wessun and Boot Camp Clik.

The General brought a lot of talent with him, too. The lineup here is almost absurdly stacked. Features include Rawkus-era beast Shabaam Sahdeeq, Ruste Juxx, Smoothe Da Hustler and Rockness Monsta. There is even a verse from Sean Price (RIP) — widely

“Toward Form,” BigTown Gallery B Y RA CHEL ELI ZA BET H JONES

SEVENDAYSVT.COM 11.09.16-11.16.16 SEVEN DAYS 78 ART

PHOTOS COURTESY OF BIGTOWN GALLERY

T

he title of the three-artist show “Toward Form” at Rochester’s BigTown Gallery makes a critical statement: that art making is an ongoing process. The object of the artist’s labor may be elusive, highly personal and only decipherable in hindsight, if ever. With these thoughts in mind, curator and gallery owner Anni Mackay has carefully presented works by a trio of mid- to late-career Vermont artists: Marcy Hermansader, Rick Skogsberg and Laurie Sverdlove.

Mackay sees these artists as sharing a certain exploratory freedom, she said during a gallery visit. They also share a question: As we become older artists, what are we reaching for? Despite the weight of that inquiry, Mackay said, “They get on with their work.”

One of Skogsberg’s works, a painted shoe, gestures to such tensions with the unknown. The statement “We were approaching the secret not only of this universe but any other conceivable congregation of matter” appears hidden on the inner side of the ankle strap of a size 7.5 Wild Diva brand of heels. It can only be read in full by unhooking the strap — an intimate action that helps convert the shoe from a woman’s accessory into an explicit bearer of mysterious messages.

Rochester-based Skogsberg has taken his paints to each of the 40-odd pairs of shoes displayed here, and these represent only a fraction of the more than 300 pairs he has painted to date. His colorful, graffiti-like mark making recalls that middle school micro-rebellious act of applying pens to hands, denim and shoes.

Skogsberg shares iconography with that demographic as well, including lips, Xs, arrows, circles, hearts and skulls. But he takes the act of customization to new levels of obsession, completely filling the “canvases” of many of his shoes.

Mackay revealed that Skogsberg is something of a news junkie and reads the New York Times every day. Perhaps that’s why some of the phrases “hidden” in his shoes read like cheeky newspaper headlines: “Raise your glasses to the doctor” or “RIP Love.” One pair of women’s shoes displays on each heel a silhouette of the Babadook, the German expressionism-inspired villain of the 2014 horror film by the same name.

“˜ e Green Beyond the Punji Pit” by Laurie Sverdlove

Boots by Rick Skogsberg

Not all Skogsberg’s works evoke this horror vacui — fear of empty space — though he shares this inclination with other artists in the self-taught lineage.

Some of his men’s shoes are simply eyecatchingly color-blocked, while others feature abstract, street-art-inspired graphics. Mackay intends to take a selection of the shoes to the Satellite Art Show during this December’s Miami Art Week.

While Skogsberg’s playful, zany intersections of art and fashion are occasionally inflected by dark themes, Hermansader’s “Back Through Black” series begins with darkness and sobriety.

The Putney artist started constructing the primarily abstract works in 2005, when she found herself reflecting on the destruction and violence of the U.S. wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Some pieces, such as “Anteroom,” “Between Breath” and “Banjul,” appear to reference a figurative abyss of despair and ambiguity. Each of the circular,

wall-hung works of tightly coiled black paper has a grooved surface, like a record. They are frightening in their simplicity, defying the viewer to find meaning in one of humans’ simplest symbols of uncertainty: the black hole.

In “Anteroom,” two tiny pieces of wire screen frame the spiral’s center, making it look like a minuscule opening. The effect is disorienting: Is the tiny hole meant to be a waiting room? If so, who is doing the waiting, and for what?

Other Hermansader works deftly incorporate a range of materials and textures into a unified collage. Color sometimes interrupts the black. In “We heard…,” layers of wire mesh, black paper and black fabric with red stitches frame a shadowy black-and-white drawing. The disparate materials look as if they exploded from the circularly framed image.

Though technically abstract, the collages of the “Back Through Black”

Mackay effectively challenges viewers to consider the repetitive acts — mental and physical — that tie the works together. The consistency and rigor of each individual body of work serve as evidence of the artists’ continual efforts to achieve their own form of unique cohesion. These factors merge for a show that is not only sophisticated, but enjoyable.

wild, larger-than-life West Coast desert flora.

“Zwartkop” is perhaps her least surrealistic painting on view. The massive flowering succulent appears in the foreground, with a tilled field and dusky mountains in the expanse behind it. A luminescent, squiggling red line interrupts the scene’s realism, making it look like a map to an unknown destination. In “It’s All Alive,” that line is repurposed as barbed wire draped across yellow orchard ladders that hover impossibly over a field.

Like Hermansader and Skogsberg, Sverdlove has a commitment to mark making. Echoing Skogsberg’s symbols, in her “The Green Beyond the Punji Pit,” a flock of small white arrows shoot up from a mountainous horizon. Sverdlove’s surreal scenes are remarkable for their collage sensibility, despite being entirely painted.

In selecting works by three artists who work in such distinct modes,

series are shot through with strong visual references to the cosmos and biology. In “If listening…,” a dusty reddish oval careens through amoeboid forms like a comet, an action repeated in “In Deep.”

“Witness” appears like the eye of an unknowable creature that is either beginning to stir or has seen too much. Through her use of shape and textures, Hermansader makes black seem to come alive, take on an almost cozy existence — “as if black has a personality you are only just discovering,” Mackay wrote in gallery publicity.

While Skogsberg and Hermansader work to construct figurative worlds with their own languages, Randolph artist Sverdlove produces the closest approximations to literal landscapes. She arrived in Vermont in 2008 from the Bay Area, where, among other positions, she was executive director of the San Francisco Botanical Garden. An attraction to plant life is readily apparent in Sverdlove’s paintings, which frequently feature

Of the 20 weavings in her exhibit, titled “Lexicon,” each belongs to one of three weaving technique families: taqueté, samitum or lampas. “Samit Duck” and “Taqueté Rabbit” each reference their own structure and creation, offering didactic text about the particular language of warp and weft used to make them. The more demure “Refuge” series is made up of eight small-scale taqueté, or hand-woven, panels, which gallery owner Anni Mackay suggests represent a back-to-basics exercise for Ziek — a master linguist’s humble return to the alphabet.

movies Gimme Danger ★★★★★

T

here’s something you should understand before seeing Jim Jarmusch’s splendid new documentary. Reviews I’ve read indicate some confusion as to what exactly the subject of Gimme Danger is. This is a movie about the rise and fall and, sort of, rise again of the Stooges, the proto-punk Ann Arbor band of which Iggy Pop was both the brains and the front man. It’s not a biographical portrait of Pop, and it doesn’t address his solo career. So don’t be surprised when you leave without having heard a note of “Lust for Life.”

That is for a sequel. Here, Jarmusch’s mission is to pay homage to a group he calls “the greatest rock-and-roll band ever,” while assigning the Stooges their proper place in music history. It just happens that all but two members of the band have gone to that great mosh pit in the sky, so it falls to Iggy to serve as chief talking head. He recounts the group’s history with an appealing mixture of insight, humility, resentment and wit. Nearly 70, he’s never looked better or seemed more at peace with his place in the annals of rock.

Jarmusch employs a variety of devices to augment his narrative: stop-motion animation; clips from old movies (Pop was raised in a motor home like the one Lucille Ball

has in 1953’s The Long, Long Trailer); and, of course, footage from shorts starring the Three Stooges. These come in handy when Pop recalls the time guitarist Ron Asheton phoned Moe Howard requesting permission to use the name. “I don’t give a fuck what you call yourselves,” the funnyman snarled, “as long as it’s not the Three Stooges.” Click.

Not surprisingly, the most exciting footage is that of the Stooges performing. Between roughly 1967 and 1974, they more or less willed themselves into a functioning rock band composed of Pop; Asheton and his brother, drummer Scott Asheton; bassist Dave Alexander; and, starting in 1970, guitarist James Williamson. Pop describes their early days, when performing the simplest of covers was beyond them. We learn that Yul Brynner’s pharaoh in The Ten Commandments provided the inspiration to perform shirtless. Perplexingly, though, Jarmusch omits any allusion to Jim Morrison, after whom Pop has admitted elsewhere to having modeled his own confrontational, obscenitylaced performance style.

Vomiting onstage, rolling around on broken glass and diving into the crowd were touches Pop came up with on his own, along with mesmerizing gyrations suggestive of

I WANNA BE YOUR DOC Jarmusch’s latest is a love letter to one of rock history’s most influential bands.

James Brown being Tased to within an inch of his life. Pop describes his own dance style as resembling what “chimps or baboons do before they fight.” Whatever it is, he recalls that its invention had an immediate effect on the band. It raised everybody’s game and resulted in the creation of three records — The Stooges, Fun House and Raw Power, containing classics like “I Wanna Be Your Dog” and “Search and Destroy” — that were decades ahead of their time.

Jarmusch ingeniously begins Gimme Danger with the end of the Stooges, their “sputtering demise,” as Pop puts it, in the mid-’70s when their label had forsaken the

band and heroin had all but decimated its members. This paves the way for one of rock history’s most unlikely tales of triumph. It’s hardly a spoiler to note that the film documents a wildly successful reunion in 2003, the group’s induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2010 and the almost unparalleled influence the Stooges have had on generations of bands, from the Sex Pistols and the Ramones to Sonic Youth and Nirvana. It took a while, but the world eventually caught up with the Stooges. What a difference 40 years can make.

Certain Women ★★★★

I

n the films of Kelly Reichardt, the landscape tends to be the most compelling character. That’s not intended as a dig at the acclaimed art-house director of Meek’s Cutoff and Wendy and Lucy, just a recognition that interpersonal drama is not her focus or forte.

Silences are long in Reichardt’s movies, dialogue muted, conflicts low-key and typically resolved (if at all) in a moment that is over before we even realize it has arrived.

Filling the long gaps around the words, Reichardt’s visuals — whether verdant or stark — communicate with all the eloquence the characters lack, whether those characters are trying to escape their natural environment (as in Meek’s Cutoff), protect it (as in Night Moves) or just eke out an existence there.

The filmmaker’s style proves an apt match for the work of writer Maile Meloy, three of whose short stories serve as the basis for Certain Women. Each of the film’s three parts tells one woman’s story. While the protagonists don’t interact, all three reside in or visit the same desolate Montana town, and supporting characters and locations reappear.

In the first story, a small-town lawyer (Laura Dern) juggles an adulterous affair and a disgruntled client (Jared Harris). Her entire body exudes weariness, and the only time she expresses an opinion, it’s to note that “it would be so restful” to be a man,

DRIVING FORCE Gladstone plays one of the few characters who exhibit strong motivations in Reichardt’s wintery indie.

because then her problem client might stop pushing back against her bleak assessment of his case.

Exhaustion turns out to be a theme in the other two sections, too. In the middle one — by far the slowest — Michelle Williams and James Le Gros are a couple building themselves a dream house. She’s the perfectionist, he more laid-back, but it’s clear that the labor of marriage and parenthood weighs heavily on both of them.

In the third and most satisfying story, the exhausted character is a newly minted lawyer named Elizabeth (Kristen Stewart) teaching a night course with a punishing commute. Elizabeth is, to put it mildly, not a dynamic instructor — slumped, mumbling, visibly insecure. Yet she glows in the eyes of the lonely, unnamed ranch hand (Lily Gladstone) who walks into her class one night.

The “relationship” that ensues between the two women is more like a series of brief,

laconic exchanges, halfway between casual acquaintance and stalking. Yet it’s poignant because Gladstone’s character exhibits a quality that no one else in the film has: the exuberance of youth and hope. Riding through the snowy fields, she inhabits the majestic landscape with energy the other characters lack. While she can’t voice what she and Elizabeth have in common, she clearly feels it, and makes us feel it, too.

To deride film landscapes as mere “scenery” is to forget the role that place plays in our own lives. Williams’ character tries to appropriate a piece of the landscape by building her home from reclaimed stone; Elizabeth views Montana’s expanses as an obstacle; Dern’s character ignores them, holing herself up in dark interiors. But Reichardt’s camera always returns eventually from the burrows people dig for themselves to the mountains that hover on the horizon like a promise.

One might call Certain Women “Fargo without the crime” — three case studies of people in northern climes struggling to maintain their equilibrium through a long, enervating winter. The film is worth watching for the rare moments when they lose that equilibrium, and for the even rarer ones when they open their hearts to the possibility of an early spring.

The Handmaide

SEVEN DAYS

If you saw his cult classic Oldboy, you know not to expect a boring period piece from director Chan-wook Park. By most accounts, The Handmaide does not disappoint. The erotically charged film is based on Sarah aters' novel Fingersmith, which Park has transplanted to Korea during the Japanese occupation of the 1930s. There a con man grooms a young pickpocket (Kim Tae-ri) to infiltrate the home of an heiress (Min-hee Kim), whom he hopes to wed. But nothing goes quite as expected. Manohla Dargis of the New York Times says, "The a t of the tease is rarely as refined as in The Handmaide ." See for yourself starting Friday, at Merrill's Roxy Cinemas in Burlington.

RACHEL LIVES HERE NOW

REAL FREE WILL ASTROLOGY BY ROB BREZSNY NOVEMBER 10—16

make northern California my new home, northern California is exactly where I ended up and stayed. Having said that, however, I suspect that the coming months could be one of those times when Fuller’s formula applies to you. Your ultimate destination may turn out to be different from your original plan. But here’s the tricky part: If you do want to eventually be led to the situation that’s right for you, you have to be specific about setting a goal that seems right for now.

SCORPIO

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): If you were an

OCT. 23-NOV. 21:

“Don’t be someone that searches, finds and then runs away,” advises novelist Paulo Coelho. I’m tempted to add this caveat: “Don’t be someone that searches, finds and then runs away — unless you really do need to run away for a while to get better prepared for the reward you have summoned ... and then return to fully embrace it.” After studying the astrological omens, Scorpio, I’m guessing you can benefit from hearing this information.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Now and then you display an excessive egotism that pushes people away. But during the next six weeks you will have an excellent chance to shed some of that tendency, even as you build more of the healthy pride that attracts help and support. So be alert for a steady flow of intuitions that will instruct you on how to elude overconfidence and instead cultivate more of the warm, radiant charisma that is your birthright. You came here to planet Earth not just to show off your bright beauty, but also to wield it as a source of inspiration and motivation for those whose lives you touch.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): The coming weeks will be a good time to fi l your bed with rose petals and sleep with their aroma caressing your dreams. You should also consider the following acts of intimate revolution: listening to sexy spiritual flute music while carrying on scintillating conversations with interesting allies ... sharing gourmet meals in which you and your sensual companions use your fingers to slowly devour your delectable food ... dancing naked in semidarkness as you imagine your happiest possible future. Do you catch my drift, Cancerian? You’re due for a series of appointments with savvy bliss and wild splendor.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “I have always wanted ... my mouth full of strange sunlight,” writes Leo poet Michael Dickman in his poem “My Honeybee.” In another piece, while describing an out-

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The Passage du Gois is a 2.8-mile causeway that runs between the western French town of Beauvoir-sur-Mer and the island of Noirmoutier in the Atlantic Ocean. It’s only usable twice a day when the tide goes out, and even then for just an hour or two. The rest of the time it’s under water. If you hope to walk or bike or drive across, you must accommodate yourself to nature’s rhythms. I suspect there’s a metaphorically similar phenomenon in your life, Virgo. To get to where you want to go next, you can’t necessarily travel exactly when you feel like it.

The path will be open and available for brief periods. But it will be open and available.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Modern toilet paper appeared in 1901, when a company in Green Bay, Wisc., began to market “sanitary tissue” to the public. The product had a small problem, however. Since the manufacturing process wasn’t perfect, wood chips sometimes remained embedded in the paper. It was not until 1934 that the product was offered as officia ly “splinter-free.” I mention this, Libra, because I suspect that you are not yet in the splinter-free phase of the promising possibility you’re working on. Keep at it. Hold steady. Eventually you’ll purge the glitches.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Go ahead

and howl a celebratory “goodbye!” to any triviality that has distracted you from your worthy goals, to any mean little ghost that has shadowed your good intentions and to any faded fantasy that has clogged up the flow of your psychic energy. I also recommend that you whisper “welcome!” to open secrets that have somehow remained hidden from you, to simple lessons you haven’t been simple enough to learn be-

fore now, and to breathtaking escapes you have only recently earned. P.S.: You are authorized to refer to the coming weeks as a watershed.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Musician and visual artist Brian Eno loves to dream up innovative products. In 2006, he published a DVD called 77 Million Paintings, which uses technological trickery to generate 77 million different series of images. To watch the entire thing would take 9,000 years. In my opinion, it’s an interesting but gimmicky novelty — not particularly deep or meaningful. During the next nine months, Capricorn, I suggest that you attempt a far more impressive feat: a richly complex creation that will provide you with growth-inducing value for years to come.

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Do you know about the Lords of Shouting? According to Christian and Jewish mythology, they’re a gang of 15.5 million angels that greet each day with vigorous songs of praise and blessing. Most people are too preoccupied with their own mind chatter to pay attention to them, let alone hear their melodious offerings. But I suspect you may be an exception to that rule in the coming weeks. According to my reading of the astrological omens, you’ll be exceptionally alert for and receptive to glad tidings. You may be able to spot opportunities that others are blind to, including the chants of the Lords of Shouting and many other potential blessings. Take advantage of your aptitude!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Greenland sharks live a long time — up to 400 years, according to researchers at the University of Copenhagen.

The females of the species don’t reach sexual maturity until they’re 150. I wouldn’t normally compare you Pisceans to these creatures, but my reading of the astrological omens suggests that the coming months will be a time when at long last you will reach your full sexual ripeness. It’s true that you’ve been capable of generating new human beings for quite some time. But your erotic wisdom has lagged behind. Now that’s going to change. Your ability to harness your libidinous power will soon start to increase. As it does, you’ll gain new access to primal creativity.

SEVENDAYSVT.COM

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “How often I found where I should be going only by setting out for somewhere else,” said inventor Buckminster Fuller. I don’t fully endorse that perspective. For example, when I said goodbye to North Carolina with the intention to

obscenely rich plutocrat, you might have a pool table on your super yacht. And to ensure that you and your buddies could play pool even in a storm that rocked your boat, you would have a special gyroscopic instrument installed to keep your pool table steady and stable. But I doubt you have such luxury at your disposal. You’re just not that wealthy or decadent. You could have something even better, however: metaphorical gyroscopes that will keep you steady and stable as you navigate your way through unusual weather. Do you know what I’m referring to? If not, meditate on the three people or influences that might best help you stay grounded. Then make sure you snuggle up close to those people and influences during the next two weeks.

door scene from childhood, he innocently asks, “What kind of light is that?” Elsewhere he confesses, “What I want more than anything is to get down on paper what the shining looks like.”

In accordance with the astrological omens, Leo, I suggest you follow Dickman’s lead in the coming weeks. You will receive soulful teachings if you pay special attention to both the qualities of the light you see with your eyes and the inner light that wells up in your heart.

Signed,

Dear Healthy,

Healthy and Unhappy

First of all, congrats on the clean bill of health. What a happy ending to a frightening journey.

You are not an awful person because you fell out of love. There is nothing wrong with having a new lease on life that inspires you to want different things. Your partner’s loyalty and caregiving may make you feel guilty about it, but the heart wants what it wants.

However uncomfortable and sad that makes you, it’s a fact all the same.

Give yourself a break. Your relationship — your life — was put through the wringer, and it would be unreasonable to expect that you’d come out unchanged. Just because you had this challenging and extraordinary experience together does not guarantee a lifelong commitment or true love.

Sometimes we assume that a life-altering experience will bring us closer, but that’s not always true. Even without your illness, who’s to say this relationship would have lasted? Don’t make the breakup about cancer. It’s about a relationship that has simply run its course.

Is he going to resent you? Maybe. Will he be angry or sad? Probably. But there’s a good chance he would have felt those things anyway — most folks don’t enjoy being broken up with. Don’t stay with him out of guilt or obligation. If the relationship ends now and you’re honest about how you feel and what you need, you two might even stay friends. But if you hold on because you think you have to, you’re likely to resent him. If he’s upset, give him time to figure out how he feels. Try to be as sensitive and supportive as he’s been to you.

This hard journey has no doubt taught ou that it’s your life to live. Be kind, but don’t let anything stop you from living it to its fullest.

Yours,

Athena

LADIES’ MAN You were with three women out for lunch. You were wearing a plaid shirt that outlined your muscular arms.

Me: Man. #913705 WHITE FLOWERS IN YOUR HAIR You wore a skirt, striped shirt and blue sweater, and you had glasses and a couple of white flowers in our hair.

When: Thursda , October 13, 2016. Where: PFW, Shelburne Road. You: Man. Me: Woman. #913702 WAIT A MINUTE, MR. POSTMAN You came in that morning to deliver the mail at the inn where I work.
