Las Vegas shooting victim Sandy Casey

LAS VEGAS SHOOTING HITS HOME A

Efforts are under way to establish a scholarship fund in Casey’s name, according to the family’s statement, read to Seven Days by Linda O’Leary, a cousin of Casey’s mother.

The statement requested “prayers and privacy for her sisters, coworkers, students and large extended family.”

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) was quick to offer condolences. “Jane and I are deeply saddened to hear that Vermonter Sandy Casey was among the victims in Vegas,” he tweeted Monday. “Our hearts are with her friends & family.”

Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) tweeted that Vermonters were “devastated” by her death.

All three members of Vermont’s congressional delegation brought up gun control in the wake of the shooting, which left 59 dead and more than 500 wounded.

On the controversial topic, Sanders tweeted: “It should be clear that we have got to do everything we can to stop guns from falling into the hands of people who should not have them.”

VERMONT WEIRDOS UNITE

LAST SEVEN 5

The festival continued into the evening, when Umlaut, described by Fernandez Rieke as “Vermont’s premier polka-rock outfit,” performed their cover of Frank Sinatra’s “Love and Marriage.”

“Except their version went, ‘Trump and Putin / Go together like wheat and gluten,’” noted Fernandez Rieke, with a laugh.

The celebration is free and meant to foster community, she said.

“I’m just a huge proponent of diversity, and that’s the point of naming something as explicitly as Weirdofest,” Fernandez Rieke said. “Everybody’s different, and diversity is good. Somebody said as they were leaving that it was a very life-affirming event, and I thought that was a very gratifying thing to hear.”

SEVEN DAYS

Marchers in the Weirdofest parade

dd Weirdofest to the list of offbeat celebrations in Vermont.

Onion River Campground owners Jaquelyn Fernandez Rieke and Raul Fernandez hosted the third annual fest on Saturday at their Marshfield property.

“It’s like a big party,” said Fernandez Rieke, adding that it’s “youth-driven.”

Indeed. At just 12 years old, Xavier Woogmaster served as master of ceremonies, performing musical bits and comedic acts throughout the day, while a 10-year-old acted as head chef. A group of middle-school-age girls ran a Weir-’Do booth where they styled attendees’ hair.

Fernandez Rieke, who also owns the granola company Nutty Steph’s, organized the eccentric event. She used to hold similarly zany evening gatherings — such as Bacon Thursday — at her Middlesex storefront but had to cut back a few years ago. After holding a pig roast during the first Weirdofest, she vowed to keep the vibe alive.

On Saturday, a nattily dressed crew of about 140 people kicked things off with a parade. From there, 5-year-old Fred Daniels took the stage to sing his song “Captain Naked.”

“That was my favorite part,” said Fernandez Rieke. “He had it written on several sheets of paper, and he’d throw them to the ground as he went while his dad played a blues riff in the background.”

GAME ON

gunman opened fire on a country music concert in Las Vegas on Sunday, in one of the deadliest mass shootings in recent history. The shots reverberated in the Green Mountain State with word that Sandy Casey was among the dead.

Casey, 35, a Vermont native who lived in Redondo Beach, Calif., was a special education teacher. She had grown up in Dorset and earned her bachelor’s degree from the College of St. Joseph in Rutland and her master’s at Assumption College in Massachusetts, according to a statement from her family.

Her fiancé, Christopher Willemse, worked with her at the Manhattan Beach Middle School. The two had bonded over a love of country music, the Washington Post reported.

They were in front of the stage at the festival when the shooting began, Willemse told the paper. Casey was struck, and Willemse carried her away.

“When she stopped responding, he told her that he loved her and that she was amazing,” the Post reported.

FEEDback READER REACTION TO RECENT ARTICLES

CAVE SAVE

It is great that search and rescue groups are getting organized in Vermont [“After a Hiker’s Death, Vermont Finds Ways to Improve Search and Rescue,” September 27].

Cavers — those who explore, map and preserve caves — have been organizing rescue groups and providing training for many years. Steve Hazelton of Rutland has helped lead the effort in Vermont.

Cave rescues require different training and equipment, as well as people willing to go underground. Telephones and wires are needed for communication, since radio waves don’t go through rock. Special rope techniques have been developed for cave rescue, which are different from rock rescue methods. During a recent rescue in Middlebury’s Weybridge Cave, it took more than 12 hours to move the patient 200 feet to the entrance, which also included rigging a trolley in a tight section with the patient on his side. A rescue in the open would have taken a fraction of that time.

In fact, the cave rescue group had practiced in Weybridge Cave to develop appropriate techniques for that setting.

Even so, the cave walls had to be chiseled away to extricate the patient in a special stretcher. Cave rescue people came from as far as New York City and Boston to help.

Planning and organization make more successful rescues.

WASTE MAKERS

[Re “Food Fight: Burlington-Area Grocers Spar for Customers,” September 20]: The Kmart plaza owned by Hannaford, in turn owned by Delhaize of Belgium, has been largely unused and derelict for more than 40 years. Despite feedback received regarding using the plaza as a more “vital” addition to the community, they chose to cover yet more acreage with impervious surface by building the store that they now intend to shutter. Will that then become their newest derelict plaza?

On August 1, 2017, the Wall Street Journal’s front page featured an article entitled: “Grocers Hit by Glut of Retail Space.”

It addresses the changing market choices consumers have for where to shop as well as their changing dietary options. Vermont may not be the center of the universe, but we do take food seriously, and some online food shopping is already a fact. Every year, more consumers turn to local produce through CSAs, farm stands and stores that carry local products. Times are changing.

FURTHER FLOOD COVERAGE

It was great to have the opportunity to speak with Mark Davis about Northfield’s experience with the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s buyout program.

The article [“One Way to Avoid Storm Peter Grant Damage: Knock Down the Houses That BRISTOL

TIM NEWCOMB

WEEK IN REVIEW

Flood,” September 13] gives a good look at how that program has been working in Vermont.

It would be even more exciting to see a follow-up article on the work that has been done during and after the buyouts, including the five-year, collaborative process of community visioning, scientific study, floodplain reconstruction and finally, just this week, the installation of landscaping to put the finishing touches on the project.

The equal partnership of Friends of the Winooski River with the town has been absolutely crucial to taking full advantage of the opportunity afforded by riverside buyouts to create the kind of resilient systems that Vermont is going to need statewide in the long term. Officials cannot do this on our own; we need diverse community engagement to reshape the land. Northfield’s project has also had support from the Vermont Housing & Conservation Board, the Vermont Watershed Management Division, the Downtown Program, Norwich University and more.

Similar projects are under way around the state, and the partnerships are key.

Explaining the government programs that provide opportunity is important, but extolling the initiative of community and watershed partners will be critical for building our momentum to adapt to our changing climate. We hope to see more articles that tell this bigger story.

REMEMBER THIS

[Re Last 7: “Hate Hits Here,” September 13; Off Message: “Vermont Teacher Fired for Demonstrating Nazi Salute to Third Graders,” September 22]: These incidents of racism, anti-Semitism, bullying and hate, in Vermont and throughout the country, make sharing our family Holocaust experiences all the more timely. Again.

More than dialogue is needed.

Education is required. The Vermont Holocaust Memorial’s mission is to honor those who perished under Nazi rule and share stories of caring, survival and loss as a means of teaching respect for all. There is much to learn from that terrible period in history. The memorial has speakers who visit schools, organizations and houses of worship, among others, to help bring those lessons to bear. The hope is that current and future generations of Vermonters will have the background and understanding to stand up to hate.

FEEDBACK 7

Last week’s Whiskey Tango Foxtrot column, “What’s Up With Burlington’s Phallic Mushroom Sculpture?” misidentified its creator. Though Paul Aschenbach oversaw the project, his then-student at the University of Vermont Robert Vesely actually carved the piece.

SEVEN DAYS

As a former University of Vermont Medical Center employee within the resource department, I am compelled to express my increasing frustration and heartbreak regarding our severe lack of emergency mental health services in Vermont [“Emergency Response: Mental Health Crisis Reshapes the Hospital ER,” August 9].

Even a healthy, stable person would have difficulty living in the ER, a cold, windowless room, with no medical treatment for days, weeks or months. “Voluntary” admittance to the ER can become “involuntary” very quickly, and they cannot leave.

We have had mental health patients attempt suicide or assault in the ER, and attempt and sometimes succeed in suicide, assault or murder when discharged from the ER. Remember the horrible tragedy involving Steven Bourgoin or losing beloved community member Cheryl Hanna.

There are many more.

Liz Furkay

VERY BEST DEALS OF THE WEEK!

SEVENDAYSVT.COM

Braun is the hazard mitigation planner for the town of Northfield.

It is troubling that we have invested hundreds of millions of dollars to build a massive, 128-single-room extension to the hospital so that the same number of physically medical patients will have the luxury of not having a roommate.

Imagine if we used just half of these new rooms for mentally medical patients so they wouldn’t have to go to jail or sit in an ER room like a prisoner or, worse, leave the ER and cause harm to themselves or others. They would be happy to share a room.

When are we going to treat mental health issues as the medical conditions they are, instead of an ignored, annoying stigma? When are we going to help our community brothers and sisters and not the pockets of a few greedy CEOs?

At a September 22 meeting of the state’s Act 73 Clean Water Advisory W E 1S T N I L E V I R U 10/2/17 S 12:44 PMGroup, Agency of Natural Resources 16t-vcam-weekly.indd Secretary JULIE MOORE made comments DENGUE FEVER • ZIKA interpreted by some as indicating a plan to cut near-term spending. In fact, VTDigger.org headlined its story “ANR Chief Wants to Slow Lake Champlain Cleanup Spending.”

The story, says Moore, “raised concerns that we’re taking our foot off the gas, and we are not.”

But it wasn’t just a reporter who saw it that way. “What I took away from the meeting is that we didn’t need any additional funding except for agriculture for the next five years,” says LAUREN HIERL, political director of Vermont Conservation Voters.

Agriculture is the single biggest contributor to the phosphorus pollution that drives algae blooms and weed growth in Vermont waterways. The administration has yet to say how exactly it will address that issue.

Moore says her remarks were misinterpreted, and she has embarked on a quick round of peacemaking with advocates. “It seemed like a reversal of course,” says JON GROVEMAN, policy and water program director for the Vermont Natural Resources Council. “But we’ve Healthy volunteers ages 18 to 50 heard from the administration and Determine your eligibility Secretary Moore that that’s not the case.”

“Planning, design and implementation take time, but only about 20 percent of the money goes into that,” Moore says.

“We will spend more after design and permitting.”

That approach could be a problem.

This year, the legislature approved $50 million for the first two years of pollution prevention. But it balked at setting up a long-term funding mechanism, so that question will be front and center in 2018.

MOORE SAYS THE ADMINISTRATION IS COMMITTED TO FULLY FUNDING THE CLEANUP BUT ISN’T READY TO OUTLINE A PROPOSAL.

Moore says the administration is committed to fully funding the cleanup but isn’t ready to outline a proposal. When asked about potential revenue sources, she points to possible grant funding and a projected $5 million annual infusion from the New England Clean Power Link, a power line that would transmit electricity from Hydro-Québec through Vermont to energy markets in southern New England.

But the state of Massachusetts must agree to purchase the power. Moore’s emphasis on a money pot that may or may not materialize — and would provide only a fraction of the needed cash — isn’t exactly reassuring to the advocacy community.

And that’s the real heart of the issue.

Environmental groups say that the state has to identify new money — hikes in existing levies, or new taxes and fees — and they are concerned about Scott’s steadfast opposition to any such option.

“We’ve heard no proposals for funding,” Hierl notes. “It seems like the governor’s political position is translating into ANR trying to figure out how we can invest in clean water without any new money.”

Groveman says he is willing to listen to Moore’s side of the story. But “we haven’t made any progress” on a funding plan, he concludes. “Until it happens, we won’t be comfortable about it.”

Inconvenient Hearings

Scott’s Vermont Climate Action Commission will hold the last of its four scheduled public hearings Thursday night in Brattleboro. At the first three events, speaker after speaker touched on a theme that the Scott administration wasn’t eager to hear: support for a carbon tax as a way to fight global warming. A carbon tax is a fee on fossil fuels, designed to make the cost of coal or oil reflect their impact on climate change.

The governor has been steadfast in his opposition to the idea. Following news reports about the strong backing for a carbon tax, he felt compelled to restate his opposition on his Facebook page under the heading “CARBON TAX STATEMENT FROM THE GOVERNOR.” “Vermonters spent their own time to show up and express their support for fighting climate change,” says JOHANNA MILLER, VNRC’s energy program director and the only professional environmental advocate on the 21-member commission. “It’s unfortunate that we’re taking policies off the table in the middle of the public process.”

Asked if the pro-carbon tax voices will be heard, PETER WALKE, deputy ANR secretary and commission cochair, says, “That’s a fair question ... The governor’s statement shouldn’t be a surprise. That’s been his position throughout the campaign and since.”

Still, he adds, “The commission will consider carbon pricing. The voices [of advocates] will be heard; we will discuss the issue.”

But while Walke expresses openness to all ideas, the Vermont Republican Party sees a chance to score points. On Monday it posted a tweet proclaiming, “Here we go again! @VTDems are coordinating with @VPIRG on pro-carbon tax messaging. Help us stop them!”

A link sent with the tweet takes you to a Republican petition that claims that the Dems and the Vermont Public Interest Research Group are colluding on a stealth campaign to enact a carbon tax. It asserts, without offering a shred of evidence, that the turnout at the hearings was orchestrated by “Vermont Democrats and their radical friends at VPIRG.” Both entities deny any collusion. “The Republicans are living on Mars, creating conspiracies that don’t exist,” says state Democratic Party executive director CONOR CASEY. “Of course we let our members know there were public hearings on climate

action,” wrote VPIRG climate and energy program coordinator BEN WALSH. “Why on Earth are [Scott’s] party leaders going after the citizens who participated in the public process he created?”

Walke says he detected no sign of a choreographed presence at the hearings. “There’s always some organized turnout,” he said. “That’s always to be expected. But it seemed like a good mix of people.”

Vermont Republican officials failed to return requests for comment.

He will not be servicing our members in Rutland.

“AFSCME Council 93 will have no further comment,” concluded Durkin.

Skeptical labor leaders are willing to give Louras a chance. “He hasn’t generally been supportive of unions,” says Reed, “but I hope he does a good job.”

Charbonneau notes, with a sardonic laugh, that Louras “has a great opportunity in front of him.” Including, presumably, a fair bit of convincing to do among his newfound comrades.

The Vermont Association of Broadcasters has named three veteran personalities into its hall of fame.

JUDY SIMPSON, former WCAX-TV news anchor and the first woman to be news director at a Vermont television station, is the sixth woman — alongside 66 men — in the hall of fame.

“It’s pretty obvious that [broadcasting] is very much a boys’ club, especially years ago,” she said. “You get used to it.”

TOM BEARDSLEY joins a long list of WDEV radio personnel in the hall, including LLOYD SQUIER, KEN SQUIER, RUSTY PARKER, ERIC MICHAELS and JOEL NAJMAN. “I don’t feel like I’m in their league, but I’m grateful and honored to join them,” he said.

BRIAN COLLAMORE has worked at WSYB in Rutland since 1974; he’s also a Republican state senator. He’s proud to represent his community in both arenas.

“There are only a few [hall of fame] members from Rutland,” he said. “JACK HEALEY, RALPH SMITH, FRANK MCCORMICK, that’s about all.”

Simpson, Beardsley and Collamore will be enshrined at the association’s annual VAB Hall of Fame Awards Banquet on December 2 in Burlington.

And now we must bid farewell to someone who didn’t stick around long enough to make the hall but was a mainstay of television news during his six years at WCAX-TV. KEITH MCGILVERY, anchor of the 5:30 and 11 p.m. news, is taking a new job in Connecticut. And he’d better have a darn good alarm clock.

“I’m joining Fox 61 in Hartford as a morning anchor from 4 to 10 a.m.,” he says. “It’s a marathon, but I’m excited.”

It’s a step up in market size, but McGilvery says it isn’t about career building. “My family lives in Massachusetts,” he explains. “I started looking about two years ago to get closer to home. I’ve had other opportunities to go elsewhere, but I didn’t want to leave for the sake of leaving.”

It sounds like a great gig, but Lord, that wake-up call sounds brutal. !

Former Rutland mayor CHRIS LOURAS got a new job three weeks ago, and it remains a hot topic in Vermont’s labor community.

He’s been hired by Council 93 of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, a regional union that includes most of New England.

The union’s choice mystified many Vermont unionists because, in his final term as mayor, Louras backed a fire department reorganization that the firefighters’ union staunchly opposed. As a result, the union backed Louras challenger DAVID ALLAIRE in last spring’s election, which Allaire won handily.

“It certainly has raised some eyebrows in labor circles,” says JILL CHARBONNEAU, president of the Vermont State Labor Council AFL-CIO. “I heard some dismay from firefighters. In fact, I heard the news from firefighters.”

“I have talked with some of our Rutland guys. They were shocked,” says BRAD REED, president of the Professional Fire Fighters of Vermont. “It shocks me a little bit. I’m not sure how the choice was made.”

And we’ll probably never know, because Louras and his new employer have zipped their lips.

“I can confirm that I work for AFSCME,” says Louras. “Any other inquiries have to go to [Council 93 headquarters in] Boston.” When asked to elaborate about his hiring or his duties, he said, “You should contact Boston for any inquiries regarding AFSCME.” When asked about labor’s dismay due to the conflict with Rutland firefighters, he refused to comment on “anything to do with my former position” as mayor.

OK, well, on to Boston. In response to phone and email inquiries, Council 93 communications chief JIM DURKIN provided a brief statement: “Mr. Louras was hired as an AFSCME staff representative based on his qualifications and experience. He will be responsible for negotiating and enforcing contracts and representing the best interests of AFSCME members in Vermont.

Despite Transgender Ban, Norwich University Cadets Soldier On B Y ALI CI A FR EESE

L

uka Salvatore has wanted to join the Marines since age 9. The Cincinnati native’s grandfather, father, uncles and brother all served in the military.

Until recently, the senior cadet at Norwich University in Northfield, the nation’s oldest private military academy, was poised to follow suit. Upon graduation, Salvatore intended to train at a police academy and sign up for the Marine Corps Reserve.

Then, starting at 8:55 a.m. on July 26, President Donald Trump fired off three consecutive tweets that imperil Salvatore’s military ambitions.

“The United States Government will not accept or allow … Transgender individuals to serve in any capacity in the U.S. Military,” Trump wrote. “Our military must be focused on decisive and overwhelming … victory and cannot be burdened with the tremendous medical costs and disruption that transgender in the military would entail.”

Trump was effectively reversing president Barack Obama’s 2016 decision to allow transgender military members to serve openly.

Salvatore, who is transgender, described his immediate reaction to the tweets as a “freak-out.” He was somewhat reassured the following day when Gen. Joseph Dunford Jr., chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, made clear that the policy wouldn’t change until the White House provided more guidance.

That came on August 25, when Trump signed an order making the ban official for new recruits but giving Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis leeway to decide how to address transgender members already in the military. Confusingly, the president also suggested he was open to revoking the ban, if presented with a convincing argument. Mattis, who has until February 21 to draft a permanent policy, clarified that transgender troops can continue to serve and receive medical treatment — for now.

In the meantime, several lawsuits have been filed against the ban, and a bipartisan group of Congress members has introduced legislation to overturn it.

No one knows how many people the policy change could affect. A 2016 study by the RAND Corporation estimated that, worldwide, between 2,000 and

11,000 transgender people serve in the U.S. military.

Closer to home, Adjutant General Steven Cray expressed uncertainty about how many transgender individuals serve in the Vermont National Guard.

“It’s not a demographic that is tracked or recorded necessarily,” he said. “But I do believe … that we do have members that are transgender.” He added that he doesn’t know any of them personally.

Cray declined to weigh in on the ban but said he thinks the Vermont Guard is welcoming toward transgender members. “It’s a family, and we have to treat everyone as such,” the general said, noting that all Vermont Guard members continue to participate in trainings on transgender issues.

Trump’s muddled policy pronouncement leaves military aspirants, including Salvatore, in a state of

uncertainty. “If that opportunity gets taken from me, it will be a big loss,” Salvatore said matter-of-factly. “My whole life I’ve wanted to serve my country.”

He’s not the only one at Norwich who stands to be affected, although it’s unclear just how many transgender military hopefuls attend the school.

Daphne Larkin, the school’s spokesperson, said in a statement that Trump’s move “does not impact Norwich policy.”

Larkin explained that because the university is a private military school — not a public military academy, such as West Point — it doesn’t have to follow military protocol.

Approximately 1,600 of the 2,400 students at Norwich participate in the Corps of Cadets — the school’s military training program — and 35 percent of the student body typically chooses to enlist following graduation, according to Larkin.

Title IX regulations require that schools receiving federal money treat students equally, regardless of gender identity. And, Larkin said, “We take seriously our responsibility to provide a safe and nondiscriminatory environment for all students and employees, including our transgender students and employees.”

The 2017 Norwich University Student Rules and Regulations handbook states that accommodations for transgender students will be made on a “case-by-case basis.” Cadets planning to transition are to notify the university’s Title IX officer and “must be aware that, once they have identified their preferred gender, the university will recognize that commitment and gender identity in regard to all standards and requirements and requires a reciprocal commitment from the individual.”

Salvatore, who also serves in Norwich’s Marine Corps Reserve Officer Training Corps, said school leaders have been supportive. “Three days after those tweets came out, vice president [of enrollment and student life Frank] Vanecek actually called me. He addressed me properly and was saying that this doesn’t change anything for the school,” Salvatore recalled. “I’ve had people as high as gunnery sergeants say, ‘I stand by your right to serve.’”

“It meant a lot — this school that I’ve loved for so long, staying by my side,” he said.

Salvatore, who started telling friends he was transgender at the end of his freshman year, said he never wanted to be the “token trans cadet.”

At the time, he didn’t know of any others on campus.

Norwich has a reputation for openness. In 2011, cadets at the school convened the first meeting of the university’s Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Questioning and Allies Club, the night before the repeal of the “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy, which had prevented LGBT people from serving openly in the military. The club garnered national headlines at the time, and again in 2012, when it held the school’s first gay pride week, culminating in a queer prom.

Last year, Norwich altered its uniform regulations to accommodate an incoming Muslim student who’d been told by South Carolina’s Citadel military college that she couldn’t wear a hijab there.

Still, transitioning is never easy, and it’s especially complicated on a military campus that still abides by rigid gender standards. Male and female cadets follow different rules governing how they cut their hair, what they can wear and even how they cut their nails. (“Males will keep nails trimmed so as not to extend beyond the fingertips.

Females will not exceed a nail length of ¼ inch, as measured from the tip of the finger.”)

They’re also subject to different annual physical fitness tests. Incoming female cadets are told to be prepared to do 19 push-ups, 53 sit-ups and a two-mile run in 18 minutes and 48 seconds, while male cadets must do 42 push-ups, 53 sit-ups and a two-mile run in 15 minutes and 54 seconds.

Salvatore, whose dirty-blond hair is neatly cropped, according to protocol, said he didn’t encounter problems adapting to the male dress code — “I taught myself how to tie the [neck] tie in the corps standards” — or meeting male fitness requirements.

Other aspects of the transition weren’t so easy. Cadets are assigned roommates of the same sex all four years. He requested a male roommate for his sophomore year but was assigned to bunk with two females. “It was awful,” said Salvatore, who ended up moving in with a female friend. For additional privacy, they put up a partition in their room.

Leading up to his junior year, the cadet again requested to room with male students, but when school resumed, Salvatore recalled, “I come to my room, and there’s two females in my room. It was awkward. I didn’t know what to do.”

He moved into a room by himself until the school finally gave him a male roommate — a friend of Salvatore’s, who had assured school administrators he was comfortable with the arrangement. Larkin said the school accommodates students’ roommate requests, regardless of gender, as long as the roommates agree to live with one another.

When Salvatore started taking hormones, he used the men’s bathrooms — but only when they were empty.

Gradually, though, he noticed that no one seemed to care when he was in there. “One time I woke up late and went in and brushed my teeth. The lieutenant colonel was in there, and he was just like, ‘What’s up?’”

Partway through college, Salvatore learned that several lowerclassmen were also transgender. “My friends were making jokes, like, ‘Look what you started.’ And I was like, ‘Good!

That was my intention,’” he said.

Tony Gardner, a sophomore cadet from Watertown, Mass., came out as transgender the September of his freshman year at Norwich, and the school’s commandants have been “pretty accommodating” during his transition, he said. No one objected when he requested a male uniform.

Which isn’t to say there hasn’t been a learning curve. “One of my staff sergeants just wasn’t picking up on the new pronoun,” Gardner said. “The whole transgender thing is fairly new at Norwich.”

As a high school junior scouting colleges, Gardner had two criteria: “I knew I wanted to do something with the military, and I wanted to play hockey.”

He is taking courses to prepare for the U.S. Air Force in the hopes that he can follow in his grandfather’s footsteps after graduating.

Apartment Complexes Sprout in Suburban South Burlington

10.04.17-10.11.17 SEVEN DAYS 16 LOCAL MATTERS

Demolition of Larkin Terrace hotel to make way for a 60-unit apartment complex

Champlain Housing Trust and by the Chittenden Regional Planning Commission, is promoting the construction of 3,500 new homes and apartments in Chittenden County within five years.

In the first year, construction of 916 housing units exceeded the annual goal of 700. About 133 of the units were built in South Burlington, and all but 30 of those were in multifamily housing.

At the press conference, Gov. Phil Scott hit on one of his favorite themes: affordability.

“After listening to thousands of employers and Vermonters across the state, what I consistently heard was that one of the barriers to attracting more families and young professionals to Vermont is the [lack of ] availability of decent, affordable housing,” he said.

So far, the burst of apartment construction has not resolved a need for affordable housing across the region, housing advocates say. And the demand for higher-end apartments could wind up squeezing out cheaper rentals.

That’s what’s happening at one property on Route 7 in South Burlington, across the street from McDonald’s. Last week, the extended-stay hotel Larkin Terrace, where former tenants paid as little as $200 per week, was being demolished to make way for a new 60-unit apartment complex. It’s unclear what the new rent will be, but renderings show a handsome building that looks like a major step up architecturally from the dilapidated complex being razed.

ennifer Bliss helped her daughter, Kayla, out of their car with the 5-year-old still swathed in a pink tutu from dance class. Then they headed into their South Burlington digs — not on a suburban cul-de-sac, but in a new, five-story apartment building amid a sea of car dealerships. The building is a residential oasis in a commercial zone, but it’s a well-equipped one, with Lake Champlain views, stainless steel appliances and an outdoor pool.

“They have garden plots, exercise rooms — really great amenities,” said Bliss, an accountant who moved with her family from Florida to the Bartlett Brook Apartments on Route 7 in the spring.

Increasingly, homes being constructed in the bedroom community next to Burlington are multifamily apartment buildings or condos. South Burlington is tilting toward dense development close to jobs, shops and entertainment.

That’s a major shift for a burg known as a Vermont exemplar of suburbia — a community that pioneered plowing fields under to make way for singlefamily homes.

Since 2000, apartments and condos have driven development. The number of multifamily housing units has nearly doubled, from 2,229 to 4,065, while the number of single-family homes has increased at a much slower pace. As a result, 55 percent of South Burlington’s housing stock consists of single-family homes today, down from 66 percent in 2000.

Reaction is mixed: There’s concern about traffic and the loss of open space, but applause for the construction of sorely needed rental units. Housing advocates say that’s key to controlling costs.

Chittenden County’s extremely low rental vacancy rate drives up the cost of leases. Housing advocates say new apartment construction has helped push the vacancy rate from just under 1 percent in 2000 to about 3.3 percent last year.

That’s still short of the 5 percent rate they say would reflect a healthier, more affordable housing market. But it’s progress, advocates and political leaders said at a press conference held last week in South Burlington to promote the goals of a coalition called Building Homes Together.

The campaign, launched in 2016 by nonprofits Housing Vermont and

While some renters want pools and game rooms, others would be happy merely to have some money left over for groceries after they cover the rent.

Brenda Torpy, chief executive officer of Champlain Housing Trust, emphasized that there is more work to be done. Ten people apply for each apartment in the trust’s portfolio of 1,500 rental units around the county, she said.

Only 8 percent of the units built last year were for lower-income tenants or buyers, while the campaign strives to reach an annual goal of 20 percent.

After years of fostering suburban sprawl with its zoning, South Burlington now encourages denser, mixed-used construction in parts of the city. This is especially true in the City Center district on the east side of Dorset Street, running along the woodsy Market Street.

In this mostly undeveloped area, the city’s master plan and zoning promotes a pedestrian-oriented downtown that would help give South Burlington a focal point and allow multistory apartments and condos, offices and shops.

Along with similar downtownstyle construction in Winooski, Essex Junction and Williston, the push in South Burlington reflects a growing interest in downtown living and development. “It’s a resurgence,” said Paul Conner, South Burlington director of planning and zoning.

City Center zoning allows streamlined regulatory review and requires that 15 percent of new units meet a tiered-affordability criteria. The city’s affordable housing committee wants to expand inclusionary zoning to more of South Burlington.

In 2015, the city council voted to create a housing trust fund to subsidize affordable housing and agreed to allocate $50,000 annually to the fund from the city budget.

South Burlington officials and housing advocates are touting the construction of the $10.6 million, 39-unit Allard Square, a four-story affordable senior housing building with various subsidies, which is to get the first allocation from the trust fund. Builders will break ground on the project this month on Market Street.

The city deserves praise for encouraging centrally located development, be it at the designated downtown or at infill locations near transit and jobs, such as the apartments and condominiums on Farrell Street next to Shaw’s grocery store, said Brian Shupe, executive director of the Vermont Natural Resources Council.

It gets low marks, though, for allowing too much housing on outlying farm fields, he said. “The concern in South Burlington is, they seem to think every place is the right place for density …

They seem not to know when to say no.”

ACLU of Vermont Experiences Unprecedented Growth B Y ALI CI A FR EESE

SEVENDAYSVT.COM 10.04.17-10.11.17 SEVEN DAYS 18 LOCAL MATTERS

JEB WALLACE-BRODEUR

U

.S. Border Patrol officials met privately with Vermont college administrators on September 14 to talk about why agents had boarded buses and questioned passengers, including international students, about their legal status.

Though he hadn’t been invited, Jay Diaz, staff attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union of Vermont, learned of the meeting at Champlain College and convinced the organizers to let him attend. He was one of the first people to address John Pfeifer, chief patrol agent of the Swanton sector, and posed a hypothetical question.

“What if I said, ‘Sorry, officer, it’s none of your business?’” Diaz asked. Nervous laughter broke out around the room.

Diaz’s brash approach has become increasingly typical of the ACLU of Vermont as it expands its presence thanks to unprecedented financial and volunteer support.

For much of its 50-year existence, the ACLU of Vermont didn’t even have an attorney on staff. Now, for the first time, it has two and by year’s end will employ eight people, including a community organizer, a communications director and a policy director.

In the last eight months, the Vermont affiliate’s membership ranks swelled from 2,000 card carriers to upwards of 8,000, and donations have soared.

President Donald Trump is largely responsible.

Since his election last November, the president has stirred fears of a crackdown on civil liberties, prompting an outpouring of support for ACLU chapters across the country. (The national organization reaped $24 million in donations in the two days after Trump announced a travel ban on seven Muslim-majority countries in January.)

After the president called for more aggressive immigration enforcement, multiple undocumented Vermont farmworkers — including migrant rights activists — were arrested. For the first time in years, U.S. Border Patrol agents have boarded buses miles from the border, looking for passengers who lack legal status. Naturalized citizens have been detained for hours at the U.S.-Canadian border and forced to turn over their cellphones to be searched.

Meanwhile, open signs of intolerance seem to have escalated. Faisal Gill, the Muslim chair of the Vermont Democratic Party, received anti-Muslim emails in July telling him to “get out of my Green Mountains.”

Later that month, someone painted the word “nigger” in a bathroom at Burlington’s public library; and, in September, swastikas were spray-painted on a West Glover dairy farm.

The ACLU of Vermont’s executive director, James Lyall, described Trump’s election as “a threat of historic proportions, not just to our values and to the issues we care about, but really to the system of government that we have.”

But the ACLU, he said, is “going to have a lot more firepower, a lot more capacity, and we’re going to be

LEGAL

Jay Diaz

able to be more proactive in really setting the agenda …

We’re just getting started.”

While Lyall leads the ACLU of Vermont, Diaz has become the de facto face of the organization.

He was in the news in mid-September, threatening legal action against the Burlington Police Department for allegedly violating the First Amendment rights of several people of color. The week before, he sparred with Burlington Police Chief Brandon del Pozo — on Twitter and Vermont Public Radio, and in Seven Days and other newspapers — lambasting the chief’s proposal to incarcerate people who repeatedly commit minor offenses as an effort to “criminalize poverty.”

“To be honest, I feel a need to say these things because I don’t see them being said elsewhere,” Diaz said.

Since the election, “we [at the ACLU] have a bit of a louder microphone that we should use.”

Diaz, who was hired in 2015, is soft-spoken and courteous, but he’s neither shy nor afraid to upset people. He hadn’t just talked his way into the closed-door Border Patrol meeting; he’d also invited a Seven Days reporter, unbeknownst to anyone else in the room.

Favoring leather desert boots and slim pants, Diaz doesn’t dress like a typical public-interest lawyer, but his work quarters are certainly befitting of one. Located in a musty brick house on Elm Street in Montpelier, his office could be mistaken for a storage closet. Diaz shares the small space with a computer server and stacks of boxes holding papers that aren’t his.

The 33-year-old lawyer from Hillsdale, N.J., quickly made his mark when he came to Vermont five years ago. Already, the Boston College Law School graduate had done pro bono paralegal work at the Rikers Island prison in New York City, gone to bat for Boston residents facing foreclosure and advocated for the rights of immigrant domestic workers in New York.

Diaz said he was drawn to immigration work in part because his father has Latin American roots.

Alan Minuskin, a Boston College associate law professor, recalled during an interview that Diaz “was one of the rare people in law school these days who seemed to have the urge to help people in his DNA.” A two-year Vermont Legal Aid fellowship brought him to the state after college. Diaz gathered data showing that Vermont schools disproportionately disciplined students of color and students with disabilities. After he began talking about his findings, the Burlington School District put new policies in place and began providing more teacher training. “Jay was undoubtedly a force behind that,” Burlington School Board member Stephanie Seguino said. “He made us recognize this was really a more serious problem than we understood.”

Vermont Legal Aid hired Diaz when his fellowship ended in 2014. “I would be running up against systemic problems every day, and that got to be extremely frustrating,” he recalled. “These were bigger issues than I could handle on a case-by-case basis.”

The ACLU lawyers’ workload has grown since Trump issued an executive order calling for more aggressive immigration enforcement. “We’re spending a significant amount of time on immigrant and refugee rights — those communities are feeling so targeted,” Ernst said.

They’re also handling seven lawsuits and soon plan to increase their caseload to 10, Diaz said.

The pair is appealing one case to the Vermont Supreme Court. The ACLU is arguing that a state trooper violated the constitutional rights of Greg Zullo, an African American man from Rutland, by searching and seizing his car without good reason. The trooper, Lewis Hatch, was fired in 2016, and a Department of Public Safety memo documented his history of unwarranted drug searches.

The ACLU is also suing the Bennington Police Department for racial discrimination on behalf of Shamel Alexander, whom the lawyers allege was stopped by local police in 2013 because he was African American.

In May, a federal judge rejected the police department’s motion to dismiss the case.

Without going to court, Diaz led an effort that shut down the state Department of Motor Vehicle’s facialrecognition program by persuading the attorney general that the program, used at times to assist local and federal law enforcement, was illegal. The ACLU of Vermont has also exposed instances in

which DMV officials fed information about noncitizens to federal immigration officers, despite a state policy that discourages such collaboration.

Not everyone is ready to praise the ACLU’s emboldened approach. DMV Commissioner Robert Ide refused to discuss the ACLU of Vermont for this story, but he previously has criticized Diaz for bringing his complaints to the media rather than to the department.

Chief del Pozo suggested that the ACLU of Vermont is sometimes unnecessarily confrontational. “I just lament that many times, when we engage in these back-and-forths, it’s always framed adversarily when there’s a clear precedent for another way to relate,” he said.

When the ACLU sends him a legal brief, del Pozo said, it forces him to start “immediately building up defenses” rather than working toward a solution.

His request: Come have a conversation before threatening legal action.

That said, the ACLU’s role is “more important than ever,” the chief acknowledged.

Many Vermonters apparently agree: Their donations to the national and local chapters of the ACLU have quadrupled since the election, according to Lyall.

While opposing Trump anytime he undermines civil rights is the ACLU’s top priority, Lyall is adamant that the president won’t drive the group’s entire agenda.

In April, Lyall hired Chloé White, a 2015 graduate of Georgetown University Law Center, to be the ACLU’s policy director. White will work full time in the state legislature, leading efforts to overhaul Vermont’s public records law and limit the use of surveillance technology.

In August, Lyall hired Nico Amador, whose position as a community organizer entails mobilizing volunteers around the state to advocate for ACLU causes. Fifteen hundred Vermonters have already signed up to join the People Power campaign, an initiative to combat Trump policies.

A communications director will begin work next month. To accommodate the additional staff, the ACLU will leave its cramped Elm Street quarters early next year for more spacious accommodations in the center of Montpelier.

“The bottom line is, the incredible support we’ve received has allowed us to grow, and that growth is going to translate into a huge impact, for the better, on this state and this country,” Lyall said. !

▲▲▲▲▲ ▲ ▲▲

In the summer of 2015, he sought to tackle those problems when he applied for what he calls his “dream job.”

The ACLU of Vermont had hired its first full-time staff attorney 10 years earlier, but the post had fallen vacant.

Choosing among the candidates proved so difficult that then-executive director Allen Gilbert ended up hiring two lawyers — Diaz and Lia Ernst — bringing the staff to five.

Ernst, 42, gravitated toward civil liberties work in part because she grew up witnessing her brother, who was adopted from Mexico, endure a prolonged struggle to get a green card.

She’s less comfortable in the spotlight than Diaz but does an equal share of the work; they act as a legal team on every case. “I, by nature, am a behind-thescenes person,” Ernst said. “Jay is out there. He’s networking, he’s connecting, which is so critical to our work.”

UVM Medical Center Plans to Expand Air Ambulance Service

« P.15

There could be more landings next year on the helicopter pad at the University of Vermont Medical Center in Burlington.

Hospital executives are in contract negotiations to expand air ambulance service in 2018 through a collaboration with the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Advanced Response Team. The deal could be completed within the month, according to Eileen Whalen, president and chief operating officer of UVM Medical Center.

The new service would focus on interhospital transport of critically ill patients in UVM’s service area, which includes Massena, N.Y. — a three-hour drive from Burlington. That same journey takes about 35 minutes by air, according to Whalen.

The service would allow patients with acute health problems, be it stroke or heart attack or neonatal illness, to get the care they need more quickly — and it could save lives in the process, Whalen said.

The service would not include medical air transport from emergencies such as car crash scenes.

“There are absolutely times that an air ambulance is far more beneficial to the patient,” Whalen, a former trauma nurse, told Seven Days.

Ben & Jerry’s Vows to Better Conditions for Migrant Workers

John Fortune, a UVM Medical Center trauma surgeon and interim medical officer for the network’s regional transport system, added: “We think this is going to result in a tremendous improvement in the care of patients.”

Currently, almost all the patients who are transported between the 13 hospitals in the UVM service area are moved by ground ambulance. The new service means that there would be an increase in the roughly 190 air ambulance landings that now take place each year at the hospital helipad off East Avenue in Burlington.

DHART, based in New Hampshire at the Dartmouth-Hitchcock medical center, already carries out some of those trips under a decades-old arrangement between the hospitals. Other ambulance services also use the helipad to pick up patients in Burlington and fly them to hospitals in the Boston area or New York City for more specialized treatment.

UVM Medical Center will not purchase its own helicopter but will staff one provided by DHART; it will be based in Burlington. The chopper will bear the UVM Health Network logo.

It’s unclear whether UVM Medical Center will need regulatory approval from the state Green Mountain Care Board. The board’s chair, Kevin Mullin, said such a review would depend on the terms of the contract.

DHART already has a certificate of need that allows it to operate a helicopter service in Vermont. Lawyers for the UVM Medical Center argue that a new certificate of need is unnecessary because the plan represents an expansion of existing service. The hospital will share details with the Green Mountain Care Board once the deal is finalized, according to Whalen.

The board is charged with controlling health care costs, among other things, and air ambulance is certainly a major expense. The average trip is 52 miles and costs between $12,000 to $25,000 per flight, according to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners.

After more than two years of prodding by a local migrant farmworker advocacy group, Ben & Jerry’s has agreed to improve employee conditions at the farms in its supply chain.

Members of Migrant Justice and Ben & Jerry’s CEO Jostein Solheim announced the deal Tuesday during a celebratory gathering in front of the ice cream shop on Church Street in Burlington. Solheim touted the program as “first in the dairy industry, first in the world.”

Then he and members of Migrant Justice signed the Milk With Dignity contract that will eventually be applied to all northeastern farms in Ben & Jerry’s supply chain.

“This is the first step in bringing about a change for workers so that people treat us with a little more respect and give us a few more rights,” said Olga Benitez, a member of Migrant Justice’s farmworker coordinating committee. “In this country, it’s difficult to have our rights respected.”

Under the agreement, the Unilever-owned ice cream company will require its suppliers to adhere to the Milk With Dignity code of conduct, which sets standards for wages, work schedules, health and safety, and housing, according to a press release from Migrant Justice.

The contract also creates an independent Milk With Dignity Standards Council, which will monitor and enforce the standards.

The agreement was founded on the Fair Food Program, which was created in 2011 to provide protections for workers on tomato farms in Florida.

Ben & Jerry’s will absorb the costs associated with the program, Solheim said, and will not pass expenses on to customers.

“This is a program that gives the workers a seat at the table and provides dignity and a real voice, but it’s also a program that gives the farmers a community,” he said.

Migrant Justice and Ben & Jerry’s had been negotiating the details of such an agreement since the summer of 2015. Last June, members of Migrant Justice marched 13 miles from the Ben & Jerry’s factory in Waterbury to the Statehouse in Montpelier to press the company to sign the contract.

The decision came two days before a Migrant Justice-organized protest at Ben & Jerry’s shops around the country. The organization called off the October 5 National Day of Action after Tuesday’s announcement.

“It’s been a long road, but together we’ve always said, ‘Sí se puede,’” Thelma Gomez, the president of Migrant Justice’s farmworker coordinating committee, told those gathered.

“Sí se pudo,” corrected one farmworker with a grin, changing the chant to the past tense. Not “Yes, we can” — “Yes, we could.”

Gardner won’t start taking hormones until December, a step he postponed because National Collegiate Athletic Association rules would have required that he play hockey on the men’s team. He still follows the female physical fitness standards, rooms with women and uses women’s bathrooms — arrangements he said he’s comfortable with for now.

“All of my friends that I have up here are super supportive,” Gardner said. Since coming out, “I’ve never had anyone come up to me to do anything or say anything to make me change my mind.”

He deemed Trump’s announcement “not a cool move.”

In its wake, students are taking steps to make the campus more welcoming.

At 7 p.m. on September 14, roughly 30 students — some in camouflage uniforms, others wearing jeans and T-shirts — filled a classroom for the first meeting of the NU Alliance, a student club for “lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex and asexual” students.

One of the organizers, Daniel Almueti, a laidback senior from Oklahoma, leaned against the chalkboard at the front of the room. He explained that the school’s LGBT club had fallen apart after his freshman year, when its founders graduated.

Noting that the “culture isn’t always very positive for people in the LGBTQIA community” on campus, Almueti, who is bisexual, told the packed room that he was resurrecting the club to provide a supportive place for those students.

During introductions, both Gardner and Salvatore identified themselves as trans males, which seemed to surprise no one.

At one point, conversations grew loud. Sitting atop one of the desks, Salvatore slapped his palms against the surface. “Hey, hey, if you guys have to yell, it’s kind of too loud,” he gently admonished the group of mostly younger cadets.

Later, when asked about Trump’s transgender ban, Almueti responded, “It’s a step backwards whenever things like this are announced, but I believe that’s why we organize. What influences people more than words is action.” And, he went on, “If you have trans people out there being good role models in the community, you’re gonna gain more support.” !

OBITUARIES, VOWS, CELEBRATIONS

OBITUARIES Michael Anthony Valente

1949-2017, WATERBURY CENTER Michael A. Valente, 68, of Waterbury Center passed away peacefully at home on the morning of October 3, 2017. He was born on Valentine’s Day 1949 in Watervliet, N.Y., to Al and Anna Valente and was the youngest of four. He was predeceased by his parents and an older brother. Two sisters live in the Albany,

N.Y., area. He is also survived by numerous nieces and nephews.

Michael was a well-known visual merchandiser in Burlington and beyond — in New York City, San Francisco and Dusseldorf, Germany. He could be seen almost daily in a store window arranging

displays and dressing mannequins. He perfected the art of writing messages on the inside of the windows by writing in mirror image, and he always told a good story.

In addition to his career, he was also an accomplished artist who worked in stained glass and, in recent years, clay. But his talents extended well beyond those media.

He was also an accomplished gardener and provided support and guidance to people who needed help. As one friend just wrote, “He is going to make a great angel.”

Besides family, he is survived by his partner of 41 years, Bob Paolini, in whose arms he took his last breath. He was also greatly supported by friends and

neighbors who provided comfort and care throughout his final weeks. We could not have done without their help. We’d also like to thank his oncologists at the University of Vermont, Drs. Julie Olin and Hibba Rehman, and his primary care physician, Dr. Robert Quinn. Finally, Central Vermont Home Health and Hospice ensured his comfort and that his final days would be pain-free. We are forever grateful for their work.

Per Michael’s wishes, there will be no services.

Friends will gather at a later date in celebration of a life exceptionally lived. You are invited to share your memories and condolences by visiting awrfh.com.

MEMORIAM Kenneth I. Gross The Celebration of the Life of Kenneth I. Gross will be held Sunday, October 15, 2017, 12:30 p.m., at the University of Vermont Alumni House.

For those who wish to speak, we invite you to prepare a one-minute memory to share.

Ken’s family is compiling a book of “Memories of Ken Gross” as a way for his grandsons to continue to know Ken as they grow older and to become acquainted with those who knew him. Please send your thoughts to Mary Lou.

Saudi Writer to Discuss His Prize-Winning Novel in Burlington B Y KY MELYA SA R I

with the Burlington Book Festival, the event is part of a program called Bridges Talks, which is administered by the Washington, D.C.-based Middle East Institute on behalf of the King Abdulaziz Center for World Culture in Saudi Arabia.

A multitasker with varied interests, Alwan wrote his debut novel while at college in Riyadh and worked on A Small Death, his fifth, in his spare time during his PhD studies at Carleton University in Ottawa. In the intervening years, Alwan, who has a bachelor’s degree in computer information systems, earned an MBA and published a nonfiction book on migration. He has also worked as a columnist at newspapers in Saudi Arabia.

“Any kind of knowledge I have obtained, whether from a classroom, textbook, case study or research paper, [is] not different [from] life experiences and everyday observations that make writers who they are,” wrote Alwan in an email.

Indeed, his academic interest in migration was the inspiration for A Small Death. It’s a fictionalized story of Sufi philosopher and traveler Muhyiddin Ibn Arabi, who was born in Muslim Spain in 1165 and died in Damascus in 1240.

When Alwan received his award in April, one of the judges described A Small Death as

Mohammed Hasan Alwan

nglish speakers will have to wait to find out exactly why Mohammed Hasan Alwan won the 2017 International Prize for Arabic Fiction. Raised in Saudi Arabia and currently dividing his time between Toronto and Riyadh, the 38-year-old author has had only a few short works translated into English — not including his prize-winning novel, A Small Death.

But the $50,000 award gives Alwan the status of one of the most prominent literary voices in the Arab world. And, given the daily news stories on both migration — one of Alwan’s favorite subjects — and changing mores in Saudi Arabia, it may be a voice Americans shouldn’t ignore.

On Friday, Vermonters will have a chance to hear that voice when Alwan comes to the Queen City to discuss A Small Death.

For its fall production, Burlington theater company GIRLS NITE OUT presents Ripcord, a 2015 work by playwright David Lindsay-Abaire. Directed by ABBIE TYKOCKI, the show is at GNO’s usual performance space, the MAIN STREET LANDING BLACK BOX THEATER in Burlington.

Amid a deluge of daily political drama,

Ripcord is a refreshing comedy about two retirement-home roommates, Abby and Marilyn.

The odd-couple template for the show is simple and familiar: Abby (JANET STAMBOLIAN) is content to live alone and generally hates people; Marilyn (BETSY CONLON) is a ray of

a novel that uses “striking artistry” and “captivating language” to “shed light on Ibn Arabi’s view of spiritual and temporal love in their most refined forms.”

Ibn Arabi is a controversial figure, regarded as a saint by Sufi practitioners and as a heretic by some Muslim scholars. His travels across the Levant, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Turkey intrigued Alwan, the writer said. “The history book did not bring me a satisfying answer, as historians omitted this side of his life,” Alwan explained. “I decided to turn my frustration into an opportunity and let fiction complete the job that history didn’t.”

The Arab literary world has long recognized Alwan’s talent. In 2009, his work was included in Beirut 39, a collection of 39 stories, novel extracts and poems by Arab writers under 40. In 2013, he was short-listed for the International Prize for Arabic Fiction for his novel The Beaver, the story of a man who travels from Riyadh to Portland, Ore., to explore his family’s past.

Two years later, a French translation of the same novel won the Arab World Institute’s Prix de la Littérature Arabe. In a 2015 review, preeminent French newspaper Le Monde called The Beaver a “melancholy and hilarious” work that “casts a critical, often ferocious, eye on Saudi society” and compared the author’s humor to that of Woody Allen.

The International Prize for Arabic Fiction was instituted a decade ago. One of its aims is to encourage the translation of Arabic literature into other languages. A spokesperson from the Middle East Institute said Alwan is in the process of getting his latest novel translated.

sunshine who finds her curmudgeonly roommate just darling. To settle their differences, they make a bet that pushes them to such lengths as jumping out of a plane. It seems these stubborn old birds will stop at nothing to put one over on the other.

This is GNO’s ninth production since its inception in 2010. Stambolian and JENNIFER WARWICK founded the company because, as Warwick puts it, “There were no strong female roles out there for us.” So they produced Steel Magnolias and, since then, have put on shows that feature not only female actors but, whenever possible, female playwrights, directors and production teams, as well.

This is Tykocki’s first directorial project for GNO, but she brings to the task previous experience with LYRIC THEATRE, STOWE THEATRE GUILD, the BURLINGTON DISCOVER JAZZ FESTIVAL and VERMONT STAGE. When she’s not choreographing senior citizen aerial

leaps, Tycocki is the director of marketing and public relations for Burlington Telecom.

Selecting this year’s GNO production proved a challenge for the team — its members still had not decided on a script the day before they were to present it to the board. “But we read Ripcord at five o’clock the night before the meeting, and it was so obvious that this was the script,” Warwick recalls.

Tykocki describes the show as “a play that really makes you care about the characters.” She adds, “I’ve always wanted to direct shows about the human condition, and this play does that without sacrificing any comedy.”

Lindsay-Abaire is not a female playwright, but he certainly seems to get strong women. He’s perhaps best known for his 2007 Pulitzer Prizewinning drama Rabbit Hole, which was later adapted to film and starred Nicole Kidman. Rabbit Hole examined a couple’s grief after the tragic death of

unique pieces in gibeon meteorite, 100% recycled gold, diamonds, and other fine gemstones.

In a recent interview with Abu Dhabi-based news service the National, Alwan suggested, “the West knows more about Ibn Arabi than us,” given the number of books published about the philosopher “in English and other languages. We need to have discussions about him here in this part of the world,” he added. “At the same time, if any work of mine can act as bridge between West and East, I will be more than pleased.”

that should shield me from such pressure or at least reduce it,” he said.

Comprising a reading, conversation, multimedia presentation and reception, the Burlington event is the last of a three-stop tour organized by the Middle East Institute to introduce Americans to a modern Saudi author, said a spokesperson. TINA ESCAJA, a professor of Spanish at the University of Vermont, will moderate the discussion.

In an interview with the prize organizers months after winning the award, Alwan said, “I am more certain now that I should be a full-time writer and stop doing other things, unless they are temporary or are directly connected to literature and culture.”

Winning the Arab world’s top literary prize hasn’t put pressure on Alwan to replicate his success as he writes his latest novel, he said in the email to Seven Days. “I have accumulated an experience

Chief Priestess of the Sosyete Nago Temple of Jacmel, Haiti, and Mattapan, Massachusetts

In the Haitian Vodou religion, gods and people empower each other. The hotter the singing, drumming, and dancing of the worshipers, the stronger the gods become. In this talk, Chief Priestess Marie Maude Evans offers a glimpse of the power behind the striking pakèt kongo altars of Haiti, as well as some background for the Vodou ritual ceremony taking place at the Museum on Thursday (10/12) evening at 5:00 pm.

As the two protagonists prepare to jump, their skydiving instructor shouts, “So long as you stay connected to one another, you have nothing to be afraid of. Slow yourself down and look around while you can.”

These lines could sum up the entire show’s message. It’s uncommon that such a saccharine moral could be conveyed with humor and grit, but with this solid script, Girls Nite Out has the template to deliver both.

their 4-year-old son. Ripcord strikes a very different tone yet still contains sincere reflections on life.

“It asks the question: Is it ever too late to have an adventure, to change your life, to make amends?” Tykocki explains. “But it’s not too sentimental.

It’s really funny and sometimes shockingly crass.”

Ripcord was first produced in 2015 at the Manhattan Theatre Club. (Vermont fun fact: David Hyde Pierce directed the world premiere.

His nephew, RANDAL PIERCE, is the music director of the VERMONT STAGE production of Fun Home, which also opens this week.)

Ripcord is fairly straightforward, but it does offer one notable staging challenge: the scene in which Abby and Marilyn jump out of a plane.

Tykocki’s tricks won’t be revealed here, but theatergoers can look forward to the cast’s collaboration with Vermont Skydiving Adventures

Also in the email interview with Seven Days, Alwan noted that his native country is one of the fastest-changing societies in the world, a situation that has torn “many gaps in the social fabric in the forms of existential questions, philosophical queries, and other debates about values, traditions and identity.” Those gaps are best filled by art, he continued: “Fiction, in particular, might be the biggest winner in such an environment.” !

A Conversation With Vermont Youth Orchestra Music Director Benjamin Klemme B Y AMY LI LLY

On [that] Sunday, the students played the second and fourth movements of Tchaikovsky’s Fifth, and one of them read the poem. At the January concert, they’ll play the first movement. We’re inviting professional ballet dancers, musicians and conductors to come talk about their experiences performing Tchaikovsky, give informal performances and answer students’ questions while we film them.

We’ll show an edited version [of those interviews] at the January concert. Then they’ll perform the whole symphony at the May concert. They really have the opportunity to master it. It’s a 50-minute symphony.

MUSIC

COURTESY OF VERMONT YOUTH ORCHESTRA

SD: When you were deciding on an undergraduate major at the University of Northern Iowa, why did you choose music education?

BK: I come from a nonmusical family in the Quad Cities.

I started in public school band playing trombone, and I became hooked on playing in a group. Eventually I sang in choirs and played in community bands. Truly, my life was transformed by the music educators in my life. I wanted to learn the skills to be able to transform other students’ lives the way mine was.

full-time directorship in the youth-orchestra world is rare. That’s one reason why the VERMONT YOUTH ORCHESTRA ASSOCIATION’s search last year for a new music director drew 98 applicants from as far as Venezuela, Russia and France.

The organization also commands respect as a member of the League of American Orchestras, explains executive director ROSINA CANNIZZARO, and for drawing a high level of playing from its students despite not being based in an urban area or near a conservatory. Then there’s its relatively impressive stand-alone $600,000 budget. No umbrella organization, such as a regional orchestra, shares the funds.

Having whittled the pool down to three finalists, the VYOA conducted extensive auditions last February and settled on BENJAMIN KLEMME (pronounced “Klemmey”).

“He was a standout from early on,” Cannizzaro recalls. “He knew all the students’ names right away.”

Klemme replaces Jeffrey Domoto, who led the VYOA for five years, and last year’s interim director, Edward Cumming, from Connecticut’s Hartt School.

As music director, Klemme conducts the VERMONT YOUTH ORCHESTRA, the flagship ensemble for eighth to 12th graders, and manages the organization’s other ensembles. Those are, in descending-age order, the VERMONT YOUTH CHORUS, the VERMONT YOUTH CHORALE, the VERMONT YOUTH PHILHARMONIA and VERMONT YOUTH STRINGS. PRESTO and PRELUDE! are for very young players.

An articulate and earnest Iowan, Klemme can talk doctoral theory but also wax enthusiastic about teaching emerging musicians. He earned his master’s in orchestral conducting at the Cleveland Institute of

Music and a doctorate in the same at the University of Minnesota. Now 35, he’s already conducted a host of youth and college-level orchestras in Minneapolis, Sante Fe and elsewhere. Klemme met with Seven Days for coffee to talk about his new gig.

SEVEN DAYS: You conducted your first VYO concert on September 24. What do you like so far about the job?

BENJAMIN KLEMME: I was so, so proud of them.

I love inspiring young musicians to perform great orchestral works at the highest level but also to expose them for the very first time to composers. I have the privilege of seeing their eyes light up at these incredible works of expression and creativity.

Like Tchaikovsky’s Fifth Symphony. That’s this year’s project — I’m calling it “Tchaikovsky in Vermont.”

In my experience, teenagers love Tchaikovsky. They love the overt drama of it. He blends the shocking and the beautiful.

SD: Can you say more about “Tchaikovsky in Vermont”?

BK: Tchaikovsky came to America in 1891 to conduct the opening concerts at Carnegie Hall, then traveled to Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington, D.C., and ended up at Niagara Falls. As a new Vermonter, I asked the students, “What would Tchaikovsky have experienced here, had he come in 1891?” The SHELBURNE MUSEUM curated a tour for us to learn about what this place was like then. And [former state poet laureate] SYDNEY LEA wrote a poem [imagining] Tchaikovsky visiting Vermont.

SD: The VYO has some very successful alumni.

For example, violinist Soovin Kim founded the Lake Champlain Chamber Music Festival. Are you always on the lookout for the next Soovin Kim? BK: It’s our job to prepare the Soovin Kims of the world for whatever musical context they may find themselves in — that’s why I’ve instituted seating auditions for every concert. But we also want to give all our students an appreciation and lifelong love of music. Our mission is to invest in our students’ citizenship skills, leadership skills and collaborative skills.

SD: What are some challenges facing the VYOA? BK: What I want for the future of this organization is to bridge the musical opportunity gap. Our state is very rural. A student should never be unable to participate because of geography. We need to think creatively about coming into contact with as many students as we can.

SD: Do you have children?

BK: Yes, I have a 7-year-old, Simon, and a 4-yearold, Winston. Simon plays in Prelude [the VYOA’s introductory strings program for students entering grades 2 to 5], so I’m a VYO parent, too. He has to practice his orchestral music every day for 10 minutes.

And that’s my expectation for all my students. Simon usually ends up playing for 25 minutes a day — he’s a very self-motivated person, so I’m lucky. Playing in a group really excites him, especially hearing that depth of sound. He even asked about the bass and viola parts the other day. It’s exciting. !

out. Though the clothing takes center stage, Souza emphasizes that the evening is also a time for locals to kick up their heels. “It’s just a really fun night out in the Upper Valley, where there’s not a ton of nightlife,” she says. “People have a little nightclub party after the runway show — it’s a super warm and fuzzy thing.”

Also a feel-good thing: Every year Revolution donates a portion of the show’s proceeds to a local nonprofit.

Souza concedes, “It’s not thousands of dollars.” So this year, to up the ante, the store is collaborating with local African American-focused theater company JAG PRODUCTIONS to throw a fundraising party for JAG before the fashion show. The ticket price for that event is higher but guarantees a seat by the runway and a glass of Champagne to boot.

Cheers.

The words “fashion show” might evoke thoughts of glossy lips, dolllike eyes and rail-thin bodies. That standard has been slow to evolve on an international scale — shout-out to the trans and plus-size models making inroads out there. But for the past 15 years, REVOLUTION in White River Junction has been staging fashion shows that fly in the face of convention.

The upcycled clothing shop’s annual TIP TOP COUTURE FASHION EXTRAVAGANZA, happening this Saturday, October 7, includes just about anyone who wants to get onstage. The models are young or old, thin or full-bodied, male- or female-presenting.

The democracy of the lineup is due in part to the hands-off directorial approach. Shop owner KIM SOUZA emails out a call for models; the first 40 people to respond get to be in the show. They’re invited into the shop to pick out their own outfits from the assortment of consignment items and designer pieces the store carries. Usually, Souza says, 20 to 30 percent of the clothing on the runway comes from local, independent designers.

This year, those include RENE FRANCES G, MARK MERRILL, and LOU MINATTI and ANN R. KEY. The last pair produces screen-printed work; Souza notes that one piece is a tuxedo printed with a list of citizens’ rights during police encounters.

She says the mix of body types, genders and outfits occurs naturally, but the outcome is not always consistent. “Some years, I feel like we’ve got all middle-aged white ladies,” Souza says in a phone interview. “We don’t influence it. We don’t even know what the models look like ’til they show up [for fittings].

“Last year,” she adds, “we ended up with Sasha Velour.”

That name might ring a bell for anyone who tuned in to “RuPaul’s Drag Race” on LogoTV last season.

Velour (aka Sasha Steinberg), who lives in Brooklyn, won the popular drag competition’s ninth season. The former CENTER FOR CARTOON STUDIES student also participated in the Tip Top show in 2011. That was “the first time [she] put on heels,” according to Souza.

“I’m Mary Lynn,” she replied — minus, I noticed, the gusto of her partner.

“Good to meet you,” I said. “A friend of mine spent some time with the Mohawk people for a novel he was writing. He told me that, among the Mohawk, children are given an American name but also a Mohawk name for use within the tribe.

Was that true for you?”

“I wouldn’t know about that, because I didn’t grow up on the rez.”

“The three older ones are staying with my mom in Massena until we get set up here.”

“How about you, Dominic? You got any others?”

“I have nine kids,” he replied, happy and upbeat as ever.

“My goodness, you are repopulating God’s green Earth! How many mothers, if I may ask?”

“Seven different mothers.”

I TURNED IN MY SEAT AND TOOK IN HER SWEET, WEARY FACE AS SHE SPOKE.

While not quite a Jaws of Life scenario, I realized that I had been intrusive in my questioning of Mary Lynn. There’s probably good reason why Native people might employ two names: to provide a measure of privacy and protection from meddlesome white folks like me.

Dominic, on the other hand, was voluble.

“So, we came here last week from Massena with a thousand bucks,” he began. “But we didn’t realize how expensive housing is in Burlington. And things are so spread out — you really need a car.

Mary Lynn is due in January, so we need to get situated. If things don’t work out here, we do have family we can live with back in New York.”

“Congratulations on the baby,” I offered. “Good for you. Is it your first?”

“It’s my fourth,” Mary Lynn replied.

I mentally took stock. If I’m keeping up correctly, Mary Lynn would be the eighth woman with whom he’s had at least one child. That’s a lot of humans, a lot of souls emanating from one man. I mean, one who’s not a sultan!

It would be so easy to be judgmental. I thought about one of our national political parties, which apparently has as one of its two raisons d’être the demonization and punishment of society’s lower strata and racial minorities. (Its other — the flip side of the same coin — is the further enrichment of the very rich.)

But I would not go there. I’ll reserve my ire for worthier targets. Such as those with wealth and power who were born on third base and think they hit a triple, who leverage their many advantages in life to accumulate more, and who have no compassion for those with the least.

“Oh, do you think we can stop at a gas station?” Dominic requested. “Mary Lynn needs her munchies.”

I pulled into the Maplefields Mobil just past the interstate. When Dominic went in to snag the snacks, I asked Mary Lynn if she’d been craving any unusual foods.

“Each baby has wanted their own thing,” she explained. I turned in my seat and took in her sweet, weary face as she spoke, her beauty and dignity shining through in defiance of her rocky circumstances. “This one wants Twizzlers,” she added. “I never liked that candy before this pregnancy. Now I’m eating ’em daily.”

Dominic returned carrying a bag that was teeming with junk food. “I got you the two different kinds you like,” he told his partner. “Strawberry and cherry.”

“You’re the best, Dom,” she said, and I detected the first hint of a smile since she got in the cab. It was like a shaft of sunlight breaking through an overcast sky, and it filled me with a sense of hope and happiness all out of proportion with the passing moment.

And now, I thought, chuckling to myself, I’m hankering for some Twizzlers of my own. !

couple stood on the Pearl Street sidewalk in front of the UU, the church from which Burlington’s Church Street takes its name. They appeared to be in their late twenties. At their feet sat two well-worn suitcases and at least one stuffed trash bag. As I approached, the man flagged me down.

“Do you know where the Shelburne Econo Lodge is at? And can you take us there?” he asked me through the open passenger window.

“Yes, and yes,” I replied. “I’ll open the liftgate for your stuff, and you can jump right in the back seat.”

We loaded their bags, and the man helped his companion step up into the minivan. She appeared pregnant, but I didn’t dream of asking, “When are ya due?” If my impression were wrong, that question would have allowed no possibility of walking back. It is, indeed, the faux pas ne plus ultra, the gaffe for which the Jaws of Life can’t extract your foot from your mouth. I don’t care if a woman is the size of a beach ball; if she doesn’t affirmatively state, unprompted, “I am pregnant,” I make no assumptions.

As we got under way, the man extended his hand to me, saying, “I’m Dominic Gutierrez.”

Shaking his hand, I said, “I’m Jernigan Pontiac. It’s always good to run into Latino folks in Burlington.”

Dominic chuckled. “Well, I’m half Latino and half Italian. And my partner here is Native, from the Mohawk tribe.”

“Sweet,” I said, making eye contact with the woman in the rearview mirror.

THE STRAIGHT DOPE BY CECIL ADAMS

Dear Cecil,

Lots of ads on TV these days for various DNA test kits. You send a sample off to the company and they tell you ... what? What are they actually telling you? Is this real scientific exploration or just intrusive data mining?

— Jenny phenylketonuria, a genetic condition that can lead to intellectual disability if left untreated) to forensic analysis (establishing paternity) to carrier testing — like identifying mutations of BRCA1, a gene that ordinarily produces tumor-suppressing proteins in the breasts.

Even in the hands of professionals, genetic tests aren’t surefire. A 2016 paper in Reproductive Biology and Endocrinology suggested that standard screening of in-vitro embryos before implantation may be needlessly hurting the patients’ chances of becoming parents: A higher-thanexpected number of false positives for aneuploidy (abnormal chromosome count) likely means healthy embryos are getting discarded.

Maybe more worrisome, a 2016 Boston Globe investigation described would-be parents spending thousands of dollars on multiple rounds of prenatal genetic tests at for-profit labs, sent there by genetic counselors who may have undisclosed financial ties to the companies doing the testing. One pregnant client said a counselor told her

f you’re suggesting the as-seen-on-TV approach might not be the best way to understand the most complex, private and fundamental parts of your personal makeup, Jenny, you might be onto something. In hospitals and laboratories, the field of genetic testing is still something like the Wild West. In your bathroom, it’s practically the O.K. Corral. The nut of the issue is that these at-home tests are increasingly looked at as avenues for determining folks’ personal dispositions toward certain illnesses or conditions — say, breast cancer. The objections are what you might imagine: You really want to learn something like that through the mail? Or make medical decisions based on it?

Let’s start with the wideangle view. DNA testing — typically, looking at cells collected via cheek swab or blood or saliva sample — can tell you any number of things. The U.S. National Library of Medicine lists seven categories, ranging from newborn screening (all states require testing for

that her daughter had a “near certainty” of being born with Turner syndrome, a growth disorder, claiming the test had a false-positive rate of just 1 percent and recommending the lab run a second test. Instead, the woman consulted a second counselor, at Tufts Medical Center, who figured the child’s chance of having Turner’s was only 14 percent. Another Globe story, from 2014, reported that companies doing prenatal risk screening weren’t always being clear about the tests’ limited reliability; some patients had received screening results and chosen abortion, but subsequent exams on the fetuses showed that they’d been fine.

And again, all of this is with trained pros administering the tests and interpreting the results. It’s hard to figure that accuracy improves when the amateurs give it a shot instead.

Of course, testing for health risks is just one kind of DNA analysis, and others concern themselves with more benign matters, like genealogy. Some companies offer genetic tests they say can help you optimize your beauty and exercise

regimens. But overall, this market is skyrocketing — estimated to hit $340 million worldwide by 2022, up from $70 million in 2015, according to the Guardian — and health and disease screening are clearly where it’s headed. Earlier this year, the U.S. Food & Drug Administration approved the first direct-to-consumer test (as they’re called) to help customers determine their risk of developing diseases including Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s.

Otherwise, though, the FDA has struggled to assert regulatory control over these athome tests; the vast majority on the market, indeed, aren’t FDA-regulated. Historically, the agency has worried that consumers would use them to make medical decisions, and they’re not the only ones. In a 2015 statement, the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics called for a set of minimum standards to apply to direct-to-consumer genetic testing, stressing the needs for clear explanation regarding what such tests can and can’t tell customers about their health, counselors to explain the results, and privacy safeguards.

Which brings us to the last part of your question: What

becomes of the data generated by genetic testing? It’s true that the testing service may reserve the right to sell it — make sure you read the fine print before spitting into any test tubes. But I’d suggest the risk is actually less in how the test companies might use your results than in how you do.

Here’s a scenario. Since 2008, health insurers have been forbidden from engaging in “genetic discrimination,” like denying coverage based on (to return to our earlier example) a BRCA1 mutation.

But that’s not true for life, disability or long-term-care insurance. And, of course, when you apply for something like life insurance, you’re expected to self-report your medical information.

So, say you’ve taken a genetic test, even just a fun one (finally, you can confirm that Viking ancestry) that happens as a byproduct of identifying a genetic predisposition toward some disorder or other. That’s information you’re now obligated to share, unless you’d like to lose that policy down the road — or lose the payout due your beneficiaries after your death — if your insurer finds out. For now, anyway, you may just want to stick to the Slanket.

A RECORD RUN WRUV DJ Melo Grant celebrates 33 1/3 years of hosting hip-hop radio

elo Grant can’t sit down. Well, she can, of course, if she chooses to. But throughout a recent broadcast of her two-hour radio show, “Cultural Bunker,” on University of Vermont station WRUV 90.1 FM, the diminutive hip-hop DJ, dressed head-to-toe in muted, unassuming gray tones, rarely stopped moving, let alone indulged in a breather.

“I never sit down when I’m here,” Grant, 53, explained that Friday evening at the studio. Behind her, the sinister half-time bounce of “Hose Down” by Mr. Lif and Akrobatik thumped loudly through the station’s speakers as she grinned and grooved to the beat at a mixing console. She added, “I feel like I’m not doing my job if I sit still. And I just can’t.”

When Grant is on the airwaves, it’s a good bet that most of her listeners can’t stay still, either, whether they’re nodding coolly to the rhythm or full-on busting a move. Grant has been known to do the latter in front of the station’s picture window that faces the hallway of the Dudley H. Davis Center.

“Sometimes I’ll be getting really into it in here, and I turn around and see a bunch of kids staring in at me,” she said with a characteristic easy laugh. “I’m like, ‘Hey, what’s up!’”

Grant’s masterful blend of classic and new-underground hip-hop has been inspiring spontaneous dance moves, from the dorm room to the DJ booth to radios all over Chittenden County, for a very long time. For more than three decades — 33 and a third years, to be precise — Grant has served as the smooth-voiced, inviting host of “Cultural Bunker.” She’s occasionally delivered the program from other area community radio stations, as well.

In Burlington, the “Bunker” is a Vermont radio institution. It’s sort of the boom-bap equivalent of Reuben Jackson’s “Friday Night Jazz” or of Joel Najman’s rockand-roll time machine “My Place,” both on Vermont Public Radio. But it’s likely that more listeners turn to the “Bunker” to get hyped up for a night out.

On Friday, October 6, fans would do well to flip to 90.1 FM at the customary 6 p.m. time slot and pregame the anniversary bash for Grant and her show at Club Metronome, 33 1/3 Anniversary of the “Cultural Bunker,” which will take place later that night. (A note to the non-vinyl-savvy: 33 1/3 is the RPM speed of albums on a turntable.) Grant

herself will host the gig, joined by a cavalcade of local hip-hop luminaries, including DJs Big Dog, Cre8, Sexfly, Luis Calderin and Nat Woodard. Acclaimed Burlington producer Es-K will drop beats for a cypher with rappers Konflik, S.I.N.siZZle, Learic and Jarv.

Throughout its run, the “Bunker” has served as a go-to source for killer hip-hop. But it’s much more than that. Long before the celestial jukebox (aka the internet) granted easy access to nearly the entirety of recorded music, Grant was hipping audiences to underground sounds that you simply couldn’t hear anywhere else in Vermont. (This reporter is old enough to remember when “hip-hop” on local commercial radio was Vanilla Ice and MC Hammer — or, if you were lucky, Young MC.)

She is so dedicated to her craft that it inspires others to be great.

A generation or two of local rap fans, and local rappers, were raised on Grant’s weekly sonic postcards from the cutting edge. In relatively isolated Vermont, her show served as a lifeline to the sounds of the outside (read: urban) world. With the advent of streaming services, one could argue that this lifeline is less vital. But one could also argue this: Faced with an overwhelming quantity of music, listeners need sage tastemakers more than ever.

Grant is more than just a good radio jock and curator.

As the current longest-tenured DJ on the college radio station, she’s a pillar of WRUV, a rare and invaluable constant in an organization that, by its nature, sees turnover every semester.

“She is WRUV,” declared fellow WRUV DJ Lluvia Mulvaney-Stanak.

Grant is equally important to Vermont’s hip-hop scene. She gives airtime — and occasional advice — to local acts hustling to be heard in a community that can be frustratingly slow to listen. “[She told us] to keep putting in work and always stay hungry,” said Brian Walsh, aka Walshie Steez.

His group, the Lynguistic Civilians, is one of many that Grant has championed to her audiences in recent years. Walsh continued, “She is so dedicated to her craft that it inspires others to be great.”

But even that might sell Grant short. More than simply an inspiring figure in local hip-hop and radio, Grant is a community cornerstone. Hers is a chilledout voice of the people, humbly changing this little corner of the world one dope beat and clever rhyme at a time.

Melo was critical to sharing hip-hop music and culture in Vermont,” Calderin said. “To be a woman of color in Vermont in 1990 would have been hard anyway.

But educating people and handpicking the hip-hop you needed to hear really had a tremendous impact on me.”

That year, under Grant’s tutelage, Calderin became the youngest DJ in WRUV history. Save for a break to study communications at Emerson College in Boston, he remained on the air until 1999.

It might seem unlikely that one of the most important people in Vermont hip-hop is a bubbly middle-aged woman from the Bronx — a knitting enthusiast, no less.

Humble to a fault and, she claims, “painfully shy” outside the DJ booth, Grant would probably dismiss the notion that she’s a community pillar. Yet plenty of local voices attest that she is. Since she first flipped the on-air switch at WRUV as a sophomore in 1984, Grant has made a difference in many lives — over the airwaves, in person or both.

Just ask Luis Calderin.

“All of the cool things I’ve done, the amazing people I’ve met and worked

with, the places I’ve seen, it all traces back to WRUV and Melo Grant,” he told Seven Days.

Calderin is one impressive cat himself — an entrepreneur, a marketing savant and a DJ. Most recently, he worked as the vice president of marketing for the national nonprofit Rock the Vote. Before that, he served in Sen. Bernie Sanders’ (I-Vt.) presidential campaign as the arts, culture and youth vote manager. In that role, Calderin was responsible for managing Sanders’ legion of celeb endorsers, including rapper Killer Mike, the Red Hot Chili Peppers and actor Susan Sarandon.

commercial hip-hop, regional complexities, you name it. But she’s never condescending about it. She’s excited to share, and that’s contagious.”

Spend five minutes walking WRUV’s record stacks with Grant, and you’ll find that she is indeed a living encyclopedia of hip-hop. After two hours with her in the DJ booth, even a die-hard hip-hop fan will come away with a newfound appreciation for the genre — maybe even an obsession that approaches Grant’s.

The veteran DJ doesn’t consider herself an educator, per se — though she said she once considered teaching a course on hip-hop history. “There’s just so much that I wouldn’t know where to begin,” she admitted. On air, she speaks only as much as she has to.

“I prefer to let the music do the talking,” she explained.

And talk it does. Listeners could learn a lot about hip-hop and how its past connects to its present by paying close attention to the “Bunker”’s weekly playlists (all of which, dating back to 2010, can be viewed at wruv.radioactivity.fm).

Grant said she never plans her sets ahead of time; each show is improvised.

Week after week, she navigates her two hours like a jazz soloist, moving fluidly in the moment and riffing on themes and sounds as they strike her.

On the night this reporter dropped by the studio, an off-mic discussion on the intersection of music and politics inspired Grant to spin “Legalize Me” by Prophets of Rage — the politically charged collaboration of Rage Against the Machine, Public Enemy’s Chuck D and Cypress Hill’s B-Real. An offhand comment on the timelessness of certain music led to an Eric B. & Rakim track from the late ’80s.

And that discussion became a reason to play “Hip Hop Quotable.” Lyrics on the J Dilla-produced AG track are stitched together from classic hip-hop songs dating from the origins of the genre through the mid-2000s. The song is practically a microcosm of the “Bunker” itself.

What the listening audience doesn’t get — at least not explicitly — are Grant’s insights on each tune as she spins it.

When she listens to music on her own, she keeps a notebook filled with notes, thoughts and reminders. Off-mic, for almost every cut she played — on CD, vinyl or MP3 — she passed along nuggets to her visitor. They ranged from recollections of how she found the artists to biographical tidbits like their influences or who discovered them.

Then there was stuff like this: When Grant dropped the needle on “Put the Record Back On,” a 1986 track by Bronx rapper Just-Ice, she revealed a long-ago crush on producer Kurtis Mantronik.

“Oh, I loved him,” she said with a sheepish laugh. She never met the groundbreaking producer but still gets flustered talking about him. “He was so handsome,” she gushed. Her crush was musical, too. “He was doing things no one had ever heard before. I bet if you asked him, Timbaland would tell you he listened to a lot of Mantronik,” she said.

Maybe it’s too bad Grant doesn’t use the mic more. When she talks about hiphop, at least with a good beat going in the background, she slips into a rhythmic, lyrical cadence that almost sounds like,

the 1970s, she had a front-row seat for the genre’s birth. Her teen years were spent following DJs, bands and rappers around New York City clubs on the weekends.

At UVM, where she landed in 1982, Grant majored in statistics. She was drawn to WRUV because of the station’s alternative bent — and because a friend from NYC was a DJ on the station at the time. Through her college years and into her twenties and thirties, Grant often ran up to Montréal to follow musicians as she’d done in New York. She also deejayed at Burlington nightclubs.

She’s excited to share, and that’s contagious.

well, rapping. (Grant claimss she’s never rapped outside her car or the shower.)

While she prefers to let her music do the lecturing when she’s in the booth, it’s safe to say that certain members of Grant’s audience have absorbed quite a bit from the weekly survey course in hip-hop that is the “Bunker.”

“Her consistency is amazing. I remember as a teenager listening to WRUV — she always played quality music,” said Devon Ewalt. “You always knew you could tune in and listen to a dope show.”

Ewalt, who grew up in Essex Junction in the 1990s, is better known by his stage name: Learic. He’s a founding member of seminal Burlington hip-hop group the Aztext and is widely regarded as one of the finest rappers to pick up a mic in Vermont. “It was cool having that in Vermont long before hip-hop entered the mainstream,” he added of the “Bunker.”

Pre-streaming, radio shows were appointment listening. Both Ewalt and Calderin recalled taping episodes of Grant’s show on cassette to listen to repeatedly and identify albums to seek out.

“If you wanted to hear A Tribe Called Quest, that could only happen by listening to certain DJs at a certain time,” Calderin said. “You could always count on tuning in every Friday night and hearing her smooth, cool voice talk about some great hip-hop group you’d never heard of before.”

Said Ewalt, “She gave you the ingredients for enjoying the music yourself and was a pipeline for making people aware of what was going on in the actual hip-hop scene.”

Put the Record Back On One reason Grant is so well versed in hip-hop is that she’s lived through most of its history. Growing up in the Bronx in

Today, her life is slightly more staid than back when she could “stay up for days.” You can still catch her spinning locally every now and then, though not with nearly the frequency she did in the 1980s and ’90s. In part, she said, that’s because for several years she assumed guardianship of her niece and nephew, both of whom are now out of the house.

Later, she said that training new DJs is part of what keeps her going — in her 33 and a third years, she’s only taken a handful of breaks, and never for more than a summer. She recounted a recent training session after which a freshman trainee from Richmond approached Grant and told her that she and her father used to listen to the “Bunker” every week.

Grant’s show had inspired the student to get into radio.

“That’s the stuff right there,” Grant said, beaming. “Reaching people like that keeps me coming back every week.”

“She’s a sucker for punishment and willing to start from square one with students over and over again,” said Mulvaney-Stanak. “But it’s all for the greater good of the station. Our goal is to have a really rad radio station, and that’s where her heart is. Melo represents an authenticity about what radio really means.”

Grant has highlighted a multiplicity of sounds in a community that has slowly become more diverse since she came to Vermont.

“I remember hearing that velvet voice in a place where you wouldn’t expect such a soulful, urban-based radio show that was well curated,” recalled Craig Mitchell, who’s both a radio DJ and a renowned house-music DJ in Burlington and beyond. The Detroit native arrived in Vermont to attend Saint Michael’s College in the early 1990s.

“I equate Melo to the soul, hip-hop and R&B version of Reuben Jackson,” Mitchell continued, referring to the VPR jazz-show host. “She is totally connected and always has the right thing to say and the right thing to play.”

Grant is a hands-on kind of person, which has helped her foster connections with her audience, fellow DJs and the community at large. It’s also the reason she avoids online music streaming services such as Spotify and Pandora.

“You don’t get a real interaction from an algorithm, because it doesn’t change until you introduce something new,” she explained, referring to the computerized — and often suspect — metrics that streaming sites use to curate for individual listeners. “You don’t get someone who really gets to know your taste or what you might want to hear,” she continued. “That takes time and effort and trust.”

Grant added: “I like to think the show is helping people update their algorithms.” !

“I went from being the fun aunt to making sure everyone was eating breakfast and doing their homework,” Grant explained. Though the responsibility of raising two teenagers cut into her club DJ work, she continued spinning at WRUV. “It became a really important outlet for me, but for entirely different reasons,” she said. Grant’s nephew still lives in Burlington and, according to his aunt, is a talented musician in his own right. “I think you’ll be hearing from him sooner or later,” she suggested.

Grant currently lives in Burlington’s Old North End and works as an account consultant for a health care administration firm in Williston called Choice Strategies, a division of WageWorks.

Her previous day jobs include positions at the Visiting Nurse Association and the now-defunct Burlington rental shop Waterfront Video. For 17 years, she worked for a video distribution company called Video Products Distributors, which had an East Coast office in Burlington.

“It meshed with the DJ thing,” Grant said of working for Waterfront and VPD. “I was your entertainment source.”

Despite having, as she put it, “a real job and a mortgage,” Grant is still prone to escaping to Montréal to catch shows that bypass Burlington. And the selfdescribed “painfully single” DJ is not immune to the occasional new celeb

crush. Her latest music obsession is Anderson .Paak, whom she heard at the Montréal International Jazz Festival this summer. The Grammy-nominated artist has since earned an almost weekly slot in the “Bunker”’s rotation.

“I mean, how can you listen to ‘Am I Wrong’ and not feel at least a little better about the world?” the DJ asked. (She’s not wrong: It’s a great song.)

Grant’s tastes have always run the gamut. Though she’s best known now as a hip-hop guru, when she started the “Bunker” in 1984, the summer after her sophomore year, it was a repository for all sorts of underground and indie music. Hip-hop, sure, but also rock, funk, punk and beyond. To this day, she claims the best show she ever saw was Gang of Four.

“That show was when I realized music could say something,” Grant explained of seeing the British post-punk band on a pier in Brooklyn in her youth.

She’s been finding and sharing music with a message ever since — although not exclusively.

“I love a good party jam, too,” she admitted. “Deep down, everyone loves ignorant music, right?”

That’s probably true. But what sets Grant apart is the care and passion she puts into curating sets of music that does say something, regardless of which shelf at WRUV it came from.

“It blows my mind how much she knows — not just about hip-hop, but all kinds of music,” said Mulvaney-Stanak, who has been at WRUV since 2004.

Mulvaney-Stanak is a notable local radio figure, too, having hosted the nowdefunct local rock show “Early Warning” on 99.9 FM the Buzz for several years. The longtime radio jock is part of the brain trust behind Burlington’s new low-power community radio station, WBTV-LP 99.3 FM. Grant is also heavily involved with that station, both as a DJ and a member of the outreach committee.

Mulvaney-Stanak sees a direct link between Grant’s love of music and radio and her ties to the community.

“She has that connection to the local scene, which is a dying art in radio,” said the DJ. “The immediacy that the internet gives us in some ways makes it harder to find the music you want. So keeping a local connection is even more important.”

Key to such connections is the continuing viability of the radio station where Grant has volunteered for more than 30 years. It’s obvious even in passing that the other DJs hold her in high esteem. During the changeovers before and after her show, Grant breezily joked with the student jocks as colleagues and friends, not as kids three decades her junior.

n an unpaved road in Moretown, amid woods and meadows along Dowsville Brook, one of Vermont’s newest cohousing projects is under way.

It looks like the typical rural intentional community, with solar panels, wooden structures and chickens.

But Living Tree Alliance is not all that typical. It’s a Jewish project and, as part of a commitment to values including resiliency, education and social justice, its inhabitants are exploring their religion’s earth-based roots. Ancient Hebrew land practices are central to life here, including gleaning, tithing and letting work animals rest.

“The Jewish religion was based on people living together and gave us a code of how to live civilly and morally together, and being connected to the seasons,” says Living Tree director Melanie Kessler, a cyclist, drystonewall builder and mother of two young children. “So, it makes sense that we’re trying to embed our life in a religion that has that at its core.”

This Friday through Sunday, October 6 through 8, Living Tree welcomes visitors of all backgrounds to its fourth annual Sukkot on the Farm festival. The celebration of the Jewish harvest holiday will feature live klezmer, apple pressing, a farm-to-table dinner, mindfulness workshops, draft-horse demonstrations, dancing and camping. Traditional sukkahs, or impermanent shelters, will offer picnicking under the sky.

Cofounded by New York natives Craig and Stacey Oshkello in 2010, Living Tree bought 93 acres of Mad River Valley farmland and forest in 2015. Then, its only building was a sugar shack. Now, a completed house, a yurt and several outbuildings sit on a three-acre forest clearing slated for seven houses. (Living Tree is seeking four more households to join in.)

Stacey Oshkello has scratched calves from frequently striding through brush and widely spread toes from going barefoot. She offers fresh strawberries to

this visiting reporter, and we sit on the back porch of her house, where the sun touches pines just a stone’s toss away. A scolding issues from a resident guinea hen in the underbrush.

“There’s all these different agricultural tidbits in the Torah, and I am excited about living some of those out,” she says. “What was always so intriguing to me is that [the Jewish calendar] is an agricultural calendar ... I’ve always felt like I want to bring that aspect of Judaism back to life and celebrate that.”

As such, in addition to hosting seasonal festivals, Living Tree plans to bring 10 percent of its farm produce to a local food shelf. Craig Oshkello also slaughters their animals for meat “kosher-style,” his wife says.

And then there’s gleaning, the practice of gathering produce after the main harvest, mentioned in the Bible’s Leviticus 23:22. A youth group from Montpelier’s Beth Jacob Synagogue recently harvested extra produce at Living Tree for Community Harvest of Central Vermont, a nonprofit that redistributes food to people in need.

As part of its educational mission, Living Tree plans to launch an apprenticeship program next year to teach farming, nonviolent communication and other skills to people who want to live in intentional communities such as theirs.

The communal project originated in 1997 during the Oshkellos’ second date at a vegetarian restaurant in Seattle.

“I told him my dream was to build a Jewish intentional community on a farm, and we started dreaming it,” Stacey Oshkello recalls with a chuckle.

The couple gained experience with group living for more than a decade at Cold Pond Community Land Trust in New Hampshire. Stacey worked as a registered dietician, Craig as a landscape planner and shepherd. Eventually, they wrote up a business plan for their own community, choosing Vermont in part because Craig is a skier. The couple has two teenage children.

In addition to her current day job as director of family and youth education at the Jewish Community of Greater Stowe, Stacey Oshkello is also a Hebrew priestess, one of just a few dozen such women worldwide. She trained at the Kohenet Hebrew Priestess Institute, where women seeking ordainment as Jewish spiritual leaders learn ritual skills based on ancient feminine archetypes including maiden, midwife, wise woman and queen.

According to the nonprofit Fellowship for Intentional Community, there are 23 communal-living groups in Vermont. Living Tree appears to be the only one in New England with a Jewish focus. But theirs is not the only organization working to root Judaism

New York City nonprofit Hazon claims a place for itself “at the forefront of an evolving conversation about how American Jewish life can be strengthened by engagement with food, the outdoors and the environment.” And Jewish Farm School in Philadelphia trains farmers and food activists of the faith.

These organizations speak not just to a growing interest in food and the earth,

but also to many Jews’ restlessness with the usual forms of observance.

“We’re offering something different outside the four walls in the synagogue setting,” Stacey Oshkello says. “That may make it more accessible for someone who’s estranged from their Judaism to kind of come back.”

Living Tree is certainly an inviting place. Livestock graze on a former baseball field, including a herd of spotted sheep and a flock of hungry red broiler chickens that disconcertingly run en masse toward visitors. A scattering of colorful layer chickens pecks in the blue

and gold evening light. Two draft horses munch grass lazily.

That horsepower won’t be harnessed on Saturdays. Living Tree’s members have agreed to let the land rest on Shabbat, which means no plowing, tilling, weeding or work for the animals.

And what do Living Trees’ humans do on Shabbat?

“Walk the property and rejoice,” Kessler says with a smile. “Swim in the river. Share meals together. Look at the flowers. Enjoy the breezes.

“In modern society, we get lost without our foundation and roots,” such as connection to the seasons and the moon’s phases, she adds. “Every time we land in that space [of connection], our roots get deeper. That’s an important experience to invite people to enter.”

But Kessler says the communal project is, for her, even more about culture than it is about Judaism. We need to redefine success, she argues.

“I don’t want to live my life based on how much money I can make, and running around taking care of my little family, and not knowing my neighbors, and being scared and feeling isolated,” Kessler says. “What we’re trying to do is say, ‘How can we get back to a time when we were all dependent on each other a little more?’” !

P

eople, get ready: The Burlington Fringe Festival is back. The fifth almost-annual event — it took a hiatus in 2015 — will burst onto the stage of Off Center for the Dramatic Arts next week, October 12 through 15. This year’s fest includes 25 acts, more or less organized by level of bawdiness.

Thursday’s Blue Night will present adults-only content. Friday and Saturday evenings will offer a mix of comedy, theater, music and miscellaneous. Sunday’s matinée show will be safely family-friendly.

Off Center board member and festival organizer David Schein says the decision to divvy up the content was a conscious one. Last year, he notes, some people brought their kids to one or two acts that were a little inappropriate. “So we said, ‘Let’s put all the risqué acts into the Blue Night, and then let’s have a family show,’” Schein says. And Friday and Saturday nights? “Take your chances.”

The notion of “fringe” theater dates back to the 1940s, when a group of dramatists revolted against the exclusivity of the Edinburgh International Festival.

Capitalizing on the theatergoers already in town, they staged rogue performances on the fringes of the mainstream fest.

The idea blossomed into a global phenomenon, and now fringe festivals occur in cities around the world. In the U.S., no central authority controls use of the name.

Generally speaking, the term “fringe” simply connotes unjuried, experimental content, which encompasses a variety of styles and subject matter.

So, what constitutes “risqué” in Burlington?

Thursday night’s 20-minute sets will include a reverse striptease by Steph-Marie Szenasi that somehow involves a bag of potatoes. Ethan Bowen will present his memoir-esque “The History of My Penis.”

“QK Enchaîné (Queen Kong in Chains),” written and directed by Dana Block, might be the most challenging of the “blue” sets. Block first performed the piece eight years ago at the Buffalo Infringement Festival. According to Off Center’s program, the show depicts “Nazi film director Leni Riefenstahl rap[ping] with Barbie and Queen Kong, exploring subjects such as orgasms, nosebleeds, gender identity and lebensunwertes Leben” — life unworthy of life, according to the Nazis.

How does that translate to the stage? Many viewers may find Block’s rendition of QK, meant to be a black woman, offensive. She has hypersexualized the character, she says in an interview with Seven Days, and when she slips into QK’s voice, she affects a stereotyped black vocal intonation.

But the show centers on Riefenstahl, director of the famous propaganda film Triumph of the Will, whose escape from Allied justice seems to infuriate Block.

“It’s the most incredible outrage of all time, that she was able to get away,” the actor says. “She was as guilty as any one of those men at the Nuremberg trials who

were tried and sentenced to death. But she was able to argue and charm her way out of it. She was never imprisoned.”

Block admits that her material is difficult. But, she says, “I’m looking for ways to make inroads, to be a white person and talk about racism.”

“QK” isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, and it doesn’t have to be. “It’s an edgy piece,” Block says. “If you want to come and hear platitudes and nice ‘Flintstones’ type of comedy and humor, this ain’t it — it’s outrageous and incorrect.”

But, in her view, the Fringe is just the place to try out that type of material. “I’m way out on a limb,” Block says, “but that’s what the Fringe Festival is absolutely great for — for artists to experiment with their skills and stretch.”

While Block and other performers on the Fringe docket are seasoned actors, some newbies will appear, too. One of them is Somali American comic and artist Abow Ibrahim, who will try out his show “Coming to America” on Saturday night.

Ibrahim, 23, fled Somalia in the mid-1990s and grew up in the Kakuma Refugee Camp in Kenya. He was just 9 when his family relocated to Grand Rapids, Mich.

“When we were in [the] refugee camp,” Ibrahim says in an interview, “we could imagine anything we wanted America to be. We had no idea what [it] looked like. So we had this idea [that] America was this La La Land type of thing: Money grows on trees; the streets are covered with gold.”

Needless to say, no dollar bills dangled from the barren tree branches in Michigan when his family arrived in the autumn. And few people shared his language or history.

Ibrahim moved to Vermont eight months ago and, surprisingly, says it’s the most diverse place he’s been in the U.S. “I’ve always been yearning to see people in my culture,” he says. In the Burlington area, he’s found more people who speak his native tongue, Maay Maay, than elsewhere in the country.

Ibrahim’s comedy routine explores the realities of America versus his childhood fantasies. It also addresses the complexities of his family life, including his desire to make music that is deemed haram, or forbidden, by his Muslim parents. Most of all, though, he says, his goal is to elicit a euphoric audience response.

t’s ironic that, even after two successful decades in the state’s entertainment industry, Taryn Noelle still describes herself, half-jokingly, as “moonlighting in Vermont.” The Toronto-born choreographer, stage performer, director and teacher has more professional irons in the fire than a blacksmith.

She has choreographed and directed for Lyric Theatre, the Stowe Theatre Guild and the University of Vermont.

For Lost Nation Theater, she has adapted musical scores, performed and choreographed, serving in one or more of these roles in 20 LNT productions.

Noelle is also an accomplished singer and solo recording artist who performs with the western swing band Rick and the Ramblers and the jazz trio Blue

Gardenias. And she directs plays and teaches theater, movement and dance to children and teens throughout Vermont, including at her alma mater, Stowe High School, where she serves as theater director.

Noelle recently won the 2017 Ellen McCulloch-Lovell Award in Arts Education, given by the Vermont Arts Council in association with the governor’s office. Noelle’s longtime colleague Kathleen Keenan, producing artistic director at LNT, says she can’t think of anyone more deserving of the recognition.

“There are very few artists who are as talented as Taryn and as egoless as Taryn,” Keenan says. “Her very generous spirit and kind heart just make her a pleasure to have in the rehearsal room …

The kids all adore her, and she’s always about giving each one the time to shine.”

Seven Days caught up with Noelle by phone this week between rehearsals of LNT’s Sense & Sensibility, which she’s choreographing. The show opens this Thursday.

SEVEN DAYS: You wear so many different hats in the entertainment world: choreographer, dancer, singer, actor, teacher. Which one is closest to your true essence?

TARYN NOELLE: Some combination of the physical world and the theatrical world and the blending of those two is probably where I mostly live. And, therefore, also teaching that kind of work and being a choreographer and stage director. I love and I’m drawn to

physical theater or physical acting, not really a musical but a play whose chief storytelling mechanism is dance. Dance theater is really, really close to my soul and heart, both as a spectator and as a creator.

SD: Who was your most influential teacher?

TN: There are a few, for sure. My first voice teacher, like many Vermont performers, was Bill Reed. He’s our Vermont superstar, and he’s just amazing. And, because of him, I got to go to the [Circle in the Square Theatre School] in Manhattan, where I met my acting guru, Alan Langdon, who’s also amazing. And Gregory Ramos, the theater chair at [UVM]. He’s been a huge influence. Also, I’d have to say Kim

[Bent, founding artistic director] and Kathleen [Keenan] at Lost Nation.

SD: Do you prefer being in the spotlight or working behind the scenes?

TN: When the project is right, or I’m right for the role or piece, and I have the chance to do something that’s been on my bucket list, these days I’d say that’s an incredible gift, and I cherish that [opportunity]. Generally, I do more behind-the-scenes creative work in terms of adapting scripts and putting shows together for my students. But then, maybe once or twice a year, I get to do a special concert or get a contract for acting. I think it’s really important for me to keep doing both.

SD: What’s your favorite part of being an arts educator?

TN: Oh, my God! I get so much out of seeing these kids’ faces as they process new information. You have this blank slate and get to create something new.

We make discoveries together, and I feel like it’s a complete blessing. Ideally, when everything is working, there’s so

SD: If there were one person with whom you could either choreograph or share the stage, who’d it be?

TN: One of my icons is Susan Stroman, a New York choreographer who’s done a ton of shows. One of her creations, about 15 years ago, was a three-act dance play at the Vivian Beaumont Theater at Lincoln Center [for the Performing Arts] called Contact.

That was so groundbreaking for me, because as a spectator, I felt like, “I agree with this!”

It’s about the search for contact between humans and not shutting yourself off and being solo in the world but finding other members of our tribe who can be on the same page. It was so beautiful. It just changed the way I felt forever about dance and theater, and it made me know that I had to write my own version of that. I guess I’d love to meet her and just let her know how much her work meant to me and, yes, to be choreographed by her at some point. !

SD: Do you give your students toughlove advice about the challenges of breaking into the entertainment biz?

TN: To be honest, that hasn’t come up a lot, but when I do impart knowledge of the tough-love variety, it’s about the protocols of professionalism. I feel that it’s my job to give them the heads-up as to what’s going to be expected of them if they choose to do college theater or professional theater. I raise a really high bar for them, and I’m very honest and up-front about that and tell them why:

SD: What performing advice have you received that really stuck with you?

TN: I’m a really big fan of Jane Monheit.

She’s a jazz and standards singer who went to the Manhattan School of Music, and we’re about the same age. She’s amazing! I saw her in concert when I was just learning how to gig, and I asked her for some advice after her concert.

She said, “You need to know as much, if not more, about everything that’s going on on that bandstand as ‘the boys.’ Know everything musically and technically that you can, so you’re not just ‘the singer.’” That was excellent advice.

much energy bouncing off the walls, to see something click for someone and see them invested and inspired so that they don’t just want the best result for themselves but want the best result for the project and the entire company.

I really love the show “Glee.” There’s a quote from that show that’s really dorky, but it really touches my heart, and it’s so true about my kids: “Being a part of something special makes you special.” I think there’s so much truth to that.

“Guys, I’m doing this for you and trying to arm you with the best tools you can have: timeliness and showing up early and warming yourself up before you get there. It’s about taking care of yourself and being responsible and doing everything you can to give yourself your best shot.”

uesday is trivia night at Waterworks Food + Drink in Winooski, but the fun and games started for us before the contest kicked off.

The theme last week was “adult sitcoms.” We brought our own laughs.

Soaking up the extra dose of summer, my friend and I sat outside at a table overlooking the Winooski River, its rock ledges visible, and watched dog walkers splash and wade with their pups. We peered around the building that houses the restaurant and glimpsed the setting sun. For drinks, we charted different paths: My friend chose the Weaver, a tequila cocktail named for a nearby street. I ordered a bourbon drink, Abdon’t, a riff on the name of Waterworks owner David Abdoo.

We laughed at the look of the drinks: identical. They shared a shade of bright pink, even though they had no ingredients in common. We identified them by their citrus peel — lime in the tequila, orange for bourbon.

Yet one sip of each drink revealed lovely and distinct flavors. Mine was perfect — an easy opening swallow followed by a snappy kickback of booze.

We shared a good-looking order of nachos, served on a cutting board, and cheered our culinary good fortune.

The blue corn chips were crunchy under a topping of pulled pork, garlicky Peppadew salsa, melted cheese and avocado-lime crema. The food and drink disappeared so quickly that our server asked if we wanted a second round.

We looked at her, and each other, dumbly, as adults do in sitcoms — and apparently in real life.

“Think about it,” she advised.

“We’re very thoughtful people,” my friend assured her.

We decided to call it quits, and my friend split. I started to leave, thought it over for two seconds and headed back inside for a seat at the bar. Bartender Eddie DiDonato greeted me by name, remembering me from last spring. He’s a prize-winning drink maker who, at my request, mixed me a libation of his choice.

DiDonato set before me the Upside Down — a luscious, herbal concoction of Fernet-Branca, Chartreuse, fresh lime and pineapple, and cream of coconut, topped with a sprig of mint. Around the bar, young couples flirted, guys in shorts and baseball caps watched sports on TVs (on mute), and friends drank beer and shared a plate of short-rib poutine. The restaurant started to fill up.

“It’s a collective consciousness,” DiDonato explained. “Everybody’s on the same page when they want to eat.”

Waterworks is a deluxe hang, with a spectacular bank of south-facing windows high above the river on one wall and an ensemble of cooks working the open kitchen on the opposite side. In between is a 34-seat wooden bar that offers something handsome to look at from all angles.

I returned to Waterworks a few nights later to sit at the bar and talk with Abdoo. I’ve been a fan since the later years of the Chickenbone Café, a bar he owned on the corner of King and South Champlain streets in Burlington from 1975 to 1993. I lived across the street from the Chickenbone for seven sleepless years. (It was loud.) Sometimes, the only thing to do was leave my apartment, cross the street and join the crowd.

Remember pitchers of beer, anyone?

Abdoo, now 65, lives in Colchester with his wife and two sons. He opened Waterworks in December 2014.

He was also a founding co-owner of Pizzeria Verità in downtown Burlington but has since sold his share to his former business partners.

Abdoo and I talked while a retirement party was heating up in one corner of his restaurant and a wedding rehearsal dinner was under way upstairs. A twosome at the bar drank espresso martinis; another pair shared the special flatbread and a bottle of sparkling wine. Above the din, the kitchen expediter made her voice heard.

Abdoo revealed that he had a party of his own — his son Jude’s 11th birthday — to host the following day: He’d be grilling mini hot dogs and hamburgers for about 20 boys.

Already the home of BIG FATTY’S BBQ, White River Junction will have a new barbecue restaurant by the end of October. WICKED AWESOME BBQ will serve New England-style barbecue at 93 Beswick Drive six days a week from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., said chef-owner DAVID MCINNIS. The 30-seat restaurant, serving beer and wine, takes the place of a to-go snack shack of the same name that McInnis and his wife, DEBBY FENNELLY, owned and operated in Thetford for about

bacon, a fried egg, caramelized onion and American cheese. Vegetarians can try a grilled portobello mushroom sandwich ($12.99) with Untitled-5 sundried-tomato pesto, grilled zucchini and summer squash.

Side dishes include “loaded” baked beans (kidney beans cooked with pulled pork, bacon, onions and barbecue sauce), creamy coleslaw, macaroni and cheese, homestyle creamed corn, and mashed potatoes.

Prices at Wicked Awesome BBQ will range from $12 to $14 for sandwiches to $30 for a rack of ribs that serves three to four people. The business also operates a seasonal barbecue truck that will resume its rounds in the Upper Valley next spring.

suggested, describing IFH’s subscription-purchasing model as a boon to farms.

“We can work with farmers to provide really consistent orders throughout the year,” she said. “Customers know exactly where the food comes from and what practices were used to grow it, and, because we do marketing and distribution, it’s really convenient for the farmers, as well.”

COURTESY OF WICKED AWESOME BBQ

Signing up for an INTERVALE FOOD HUB subscription used to involve scrolling through a list and choosing a pickup site. Then, each week, customers traveled to their chosen location and grabbed a basket of groceries aggregated by the IFH from area farmers and food producers.

Now, the process of acquiring that food has gotten simpler: Burlington residents can have the goods delivered to their doorsteps.

How much does it cost to have a selection of fresh veggies, local beans, chicken, bread and cheese show up weekly? Nada. “[Not having reliable] transportation can be a food-access barrier,” said IFH marketing and outreach coordinator KENDALL FROST. She pointed out that the food “packages,” which begin at $25 per week, can be purchased with an EBT card.

“It was really important to us not to charge people for the delivery service.”

The IFH tested home drop-offs in the New North End throughout the spring and summer. In November, when winter share season begins, delivery will be available citywide, with the goal of expanding farther.

Each of three neighborhoods — South End, New North End and Old North End/ Central — has been assigned a one-day, three-hour block for deliveries. “We have to grow incrementally, but we’re excited about coming straight to people’s doors,” Frost said.

This season, the IFH’s farm share has about 350 subscribers. With delivery on the table, Frost said, staff expect the number to grow.

“Giving people that option is going to make a huge difference,” she said.

And that will give a boost to local ag, Frost

SEVENDAYSVT.COM

SEVEN DAYS: We’re sitting here looking out these big, beautiful windows.

What’s the most interesting time of year, the most interesting time of day, to hang out at this bar?

DAVID ABDOO: I think sitting inside here, or outside, and watching the sun go down on the river is absolutely beautiful; it’s gorgeous. For me, I do Sunday brunch, and I come in here about 7:30 Sunday morning and sit out there with coffee, alone, and I see species of wildlife. It’s always nice to sit and watch that peacefulness — just watching the river — and there’s nothing going on yet in the restaurant. The river goes up, the river comes down, the river always changes. It’s a pleasure to come to work every day.

And then, at 8 or 9 on a Friday night, or a Thursday, that’s when it’s all happening. The music is going, there’s so many people in here; they’re drinking at the bar, and the energy is incredible.

That’s what this business is all about.

When things are clicking, you got a great staff, customers are smiling — you’ve got an electric gratitude to this whole thing.

SD: When your family comes here to eat, what do your boys like to get?

And what would you tell them if they were interested in going into the restaurant business?

DA: My 16-year-old [Kam] does work here. He works in the kitchen, prepping and helping [to make] pizzas. I tell my son — I tell both of them — “If you’re going to come work for me, you better be better than everybody.” I expect them to be responsible for their own actions and respected for their work ethic. I’m very proud of my son Kam and how his fellow employees enjoy working with him.

They love the flatbreads. Kam loves the chicken eggrolls, and they like the hummus.

SD: The Chickenbone closed about 20 years ago, but it still holds a special place for a lot of people around here.

What was it about that bar that made it click, made it so cool?

DA: It’s so funny, we get so many requests. People say, “David, open it again.” I joke: “I need ramps, and I need oxygen to come down from the ceiling,

IT’S A PLEASURE TO COME TO WORK EVERY DAY. D AVID ABD O O

SD: At the Waterworks bar, you’ll see people dressed up and people who are wearing T-shirts and baseball caps, and it seems cool either way.

How did you guys make that mix happen, both casual and out on the town?

DA: I think the way we designed the place, and the way we designed our food and beverage menus, is that we want to appeal to everybody. It’s a very difficult thing to do, but that’s what we try to do here. You want a Pabst Blue Ribbon and burger at the bar, we have that. Or you want a bottle of wine and a nice filet, we have that, too.

In Vermont, in a restaurant of this size, you have to appeal across the board.

And I think we’re starting to hit where it should be. We responded to our customers’ needs. We are continuing to grow in a real nice way. I’m very happy with the progression. Progress toward excellence is what we’re trying to achieve.

It’s not a never; I will do [the Chickenbone] again. I have ideas for what I want to do. It’s like everything else that we have in our minds that was great from our past. I can’t re-create what was, but … it’s always about the people who came there and the staff that treated them well. It’s about having fun in this industry. That’s no big secret.

The rooster [which sat on the café’s roof ] is put away, but I’ve got it if we need it.

DA: It’s about the image you create.

But I still think you want energy, and you want people working for you who appreciate the people coming in, and people who come in who appreciate the people who work for you. You want to see people smile, and I notice people don’t smile anymore. Not like they used to. Come on, smile! Enjoy life! We’re in the hospitality business, and that’s been lost.

SD: About two years ago, you added a 2 percent charge on guest bills that goes to the kitchen staff. Are you still doing that, and how is it working out?

DA: We’re still doing it, and it’s highly successful. If we do 450 or 500 dinners, your waitress is going to make $200, $300, $400. That guy in the kitchen

SD: Trivia Night on Tuesday is popular at Waterworks. How about seven pieces of Waterworks trivia?

five rising-star chefs. Young, ambitious and gifted with a rare talent, he might be cooking for Daniel Boulud or Danny Meyer or Dan Barber in New York City, making good money and a name for himself.

Instead, he’s cooking mostly solo at the old coach stop, unable to find enough experienced line cooks, or a pastry chef, to staff his kitchen.

Behind the bar, Wild Roots’ walls are painted John Deere green. In the bathroom, they’re electric navy blue and splotchy in the manner of DIY paint jobs. On a dining room table, a tiny tulip and a broomy wisp of crabgrass in an old medicine bottle reflects a minimalist

approach to table dÊcor. Their scrappy elegance seems to ask, Who says weeds can’t be beautiful?

In this space, with its slab-wood tables and worn pine floors, Varkonyi, Sully Cole and the rest of their team are serving some of the finest food you’ll find anywhere in Vermont right now.

Sully Cole is a level-two sommelier who stocks her cellar with micro-vintages from natural, biodynamic and organic vineyards. Her bartenders blend cocktails with local spirits and pour just a handful of Vermont beers and ciders.

wedge of green melon rested on the plate between the scallops. Grilled to juicy softness outside, the melon was lukewarm, firm in the middle, and dusted with lemon-scented sumac and chiles en polvo. Beneath scattered young herbs, a slab of bacon was singed on the surface but melty within, oozing fat onto the ripe fruit.

We sank forks into the shellfish, briny and sweet and cool on the inside. Bites of the melon exploded in sunshiny sweetness, boosted with porky salt. And so we ate, alternating bites: bacon and melon, melon and fish, fish and bacon, and melon and fish.

It was early on a Tuesday, but Wild Roots’ three dining rooms were full. Reservations can be hard to come by at this restaurant, which opened in Royalton in May. With my party’s varied schedules, it took nearly three weeks to land a table.

Everything about this is unlikely. The space, isolated on a drive-by stretch of Route 14, benefits from neither foot traffic nor surrounding commerce. The old brick building, though charming, has struggled to keep a kitchen open since Jean and Gary Curley closed their inn and restaurant more than a decade ago. The food, sourced almost entirely within a 50-mile radius, is more formal — and somewhat pricier — than at other restaurants in town. And Jayne Sully Cole and her husband, Josh Walker, have never owned, or even managed, a food business before.

When chef Peter Varkonyi ditched a chef de cuisine post at Denver’s buzzy Beast + Bottle in October 2016, his friends called it “career suicide,� he recalled.

still embrace when arranging raw meat with other ingredients.

If many Wild Roots dishes seem to riff on familiar ideas, Varkonyi’s cooking is most magical when it takes lessons from the classics without caving to convention.

A cheese plate One night, a seared steak with grilled new potatoes and kale was excellent, but it tasted like what I call a “consolation dish” — solid but uninspired, included for palates that prefer the immediately familiar.

Several weeks later, a plate of smoke-tinged baba ghanoush, smooth as buttercream and overlaid with salted, soft-roasted strips of eggplant, pickled peppers and ample sesame seeds, was accessible to anyone who’s eaten Greek or Turkish food. But the tenor of the dish was entirely the chef’s own, and the plate’s marriage of familiar and unusual made it more fun to eat than your average mash-y crock of eggplant.

If interpretative dishes like these represent the creative heart of the restaurant, they also hint at Varkonyi and Sully Cole’s larger mission to spin Vermont’s abundant world-class ingredients into elegant, expressive food where burgers and fried pub fare are the norm. If “elegant” can read as code for “occasion restaurant” in a rural area like Royalton, Wild Roots’ executive team

is betting that the White River Valley is ready for something new.

“There is no BS surrounding the idea that [this restaurant] is and continues to be a gamble,” Varkonyi told Seven Days via phone. “But there’s a level of arrogance you have to have to say any restaurant is going to work. And we genuinely believe that when people say they’re tired of tavern-pub-English fare, it reflects a real demand for something different.”

This time of year, that change might manifest as a bowl of gnudi (petite ricotta dumplings) tossed with creamed corn and brown butter and veggies that pop with just-picked freshness. On another night, “something different” meant curled octopus tentacles, forktender and charred smoky on the grill, with bread crumbs for crunch, diced pickle for acid and shavings of lardo so finely cured we at first mistook them for cheese.

If you order several dishes, you may notice the same ingredients again and again — that’s a function of cooking to the micro-season, Varkonyi said. As you eat, a plate of ash-smoked carrots connects with eggplant baba via smoke and cumin; pickled peppers might bind the eggplant and the octopus. All of this conspires to create meals with a consistent timbre that evokes the season through a chef’s eyes. If one could discern a message in the food, it might be: OK, so here’s what we eat now.

Outside in the parking lot, you might find yourself feeling drawn to a giant old apple tree, branches weighted with fruit in the cool, dewy night. Particularly after a dessert of simple but beautiful blueberry crisp, or a crock of molten chocolate cake — dark with cocoa and smooth as pudding — or a rocks glass stacked three scoops high with house-churned strawberry ice cream. And if you feel the urge to stuff your pockets with apples, take comfort in knowing the people inside won’t begrudge you a bite of autumn’s native fruit. Crisp and cleansing and dripping with juice, that fruit will sustain you on the drive home. !

alpine hayfield dotted with flowers. My friend’s barely sweet Mint to Bee cocktail was spiked with Barr Hill Vodka, honey, lime and mint, like a dry vodka mojito.

A cooler night might begin with a pour of Shacksbury’s Dorset cider or with a warming, roundbodied red. And the bar’s sparkling sodas, layered with fruit and herbs courtesy of mixers by Sumptuous Syrups of Vermont, have the power to make drinking virgin feel festive.

The menu has four sections: meats and cheeses ($8 to $12, all local or made in-house); plates “to share” ($10 to $15 and generously portioned); entrée-style “suppers” ($20 to $30); and sides ($6 to $8).

If you tend to disregard a server’s predinner spiel, heed those here when you’re advised that the menu is designed for sharing.

You can make an excellent meal of small plates and sides, with maybe an entrée or two split among several people. If you can, consider submitting to a three-hour supper. Service transpires at a relaxed pace that invites lingering, and you might as well give yourself time to enjoy it.

Varkonyi is a New England Culinary Institute grad with a background in high-end cookery, and his execution of incontrovertible menu staples shows serious reverence for correct technique. One night, I had a jar of rosy-pink duck liver, blended with schmaltz and a splash of light wine, which spread so smoothly on grilled bread that it could bring chicken fat back into vogue. You could cut the musk with a dilly bean nibble or a bit of striped pickled beet, fragrant with cardamom — but no one would blame you for slathering on the pâté thick and unadorned.

On another visit, a pile of blistery shishito peppers dressed with oil, salt and lime reminded me of why the dish is a new classic from coast to coast. A bowl of hunky beef tartare, dry-aged to a gentle funk, was tossed with puréed avocado and presented with a dollop of buttercup hollandaise. It was a nice break from the layered hockey-puck format that some chefs

Babies don’t come with handbooks, but expecting parents and young families can find plenty of child-rearing resources at the Birth Love Family Fest. Presented by the Birth Love Tribe, this one-day gathering aims to help current and future parents prepare for birthing and bringing up baby in Vermont. A full schedule of kids’ activities keeps tots occupied while grown-ups hear from certified nurse midwives, learn about aspects of early childhood development and participate in support circles. A musical workshop with songbird Myra Flynn and a pre- and postnatal yoga class led by Evolution Prenatal + Family Yoga Center’s Susan Cline Lucey are two of the can’t-miss happenings at this family affair.

JOE ICONIS & FAMILY

10.04.17-10.11.17

On his website, musical theater writer Joe Iconis lists Dolly Parton, the Muppets and whiskey as sources of inspiration. Such influences suggest the piano man’s performances are sufficiently spirited. The Drama Desk Award-nominated songster takes the stage at the new Weston Playhouse at Walker Farm, treating theater lovers to a fusion of show tunes, sing-alongs and cabaret. Though Iconis is the star — his songs have appeared in NBC’s “Smash” — this is not a one-man show. A band of collaborators shares the spotlight, making for what his website calls “a strange and rousing hybrid of rock and roll and musical theater.”

’Tis the season for pumpkin carving, cider sipping and leaf peeping. Those seeking festive fun can head to the 15th annual Pumpkin Festival at East Thetford’s Cedar Circle Farm & Education Center. Here, folks get their fill of pumpkin picking, cider pressing and horse-drawn wagon rides amid the sounds of Vermont dance band Sensible Shoes. Families with little ones won’t want to miss the Circle of Cedars Enchanted Forest, where New Hampshire raconteur Simon Brooks and Vermont musicians the Swing Peepers spin folk and fairy tales.

Food options from local purveyors such as Piecemeal Pies, Griddle & Groovy, and JUEL Juice + Smoothies keep revelers content.

Happy fall!

Any interested person may examine the IRP filing on Vermont Gas Systems, Inc.’s website at www.vermontgas.com, or at the Vermont Public Utility Commission, Fourth Floor, People’s United Bank Building, 112 State Street, Montpelier, during its normal business hours (weekdays from 7:45 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.).

The Suitcase Junket

10.04.17-10.11.17

It’s a week of firsts for both Higher Ground and the Vermont music scene in general. On Saturday and Sunday, October 7 and 8, HG hosts dunk!USA, the South Burlington club’s first-ever on-site, indoor music festival. The twoday mosh is the first stateside edition of the annual dunk!festival in Zottegem, Belgium, which focuses on all things “post-” — post-metal, post-punk and, most notably, post-rock.

Father-and-son team LUC and WOUT LIEVENS founded the European dunk! in 2005 and are set to bring it back for a 13th year next spring. South Burlington resident DAVID ZEIDLER, known for his ongoing Cinema Casualties horror film screening series, is largely responsible for orchestrating the American edition.

The gore enthusiast writes for the online music magazine Arctic Drones, which specializes in a number of genres, but most especially the kind of styles represented at dunk!.

In spring 2016, Arctic Drones published an article highlighting the

most-anticipated post-rock festivals in the world — all of which were in Europe.

Zeidler yearned for something similar to dunk! a little closer to home, and reached out to the Lievenses for advice on how to make his dream a reality. As luck would have it, the founders were looking to expand dunk! to the States, and, after some negotiating, the Belgian fest found a home in the 802.

Attendees can move freely between the HG Ballroom and Showcase Lounge all weekend. Chicago-based “postpost” band PELICAN headline Saturday, with support from EMMA RUTH RUNDLE, ASTRONOID, TIDES OF MAN, THIS PATCH OF SKY, RANGES, APPALACHES, ZHAOZE, OF THE VINE and locals SAD TURTLE. Also hailing from ChiTown are Sunday’s headliners, RUSSIAN CIRCLES. Opening acts that day include JUNIUS, ARMS AND SLEEPERS, COASTLANDS, the END OF THE OCEAN, PRAY FOR SOUND, SET AND SETTING, AU REVOIR, THISQUIETARMY, UNCONDITIONAL ARMS and KYOTY. Additionally, the Monkey House in Winooski hosts a pre-dunk! minishowcase on Friday, October 6. Joining Burlington’s GHASTLY SOUND, SAVAGE HEN

Slam Dunk

and KIEFCATCHER are Austrian postrockers LEHNEN and Detroit-based shoegazers MAN MOUNTAIN. It’s worth singling out both Rundle and Zhaoze. Rundle is a guitarist with the Los Angeles post-rock bands RED SPAROWES and MARRIAGES. She’ll be the only female-fronted act on the dunk! bill. And Zhaoze, who hail from Guangzhou, China, will travel the farthest to be here.

The tricky thing about adding “post-” to a well-established genre is that sometimes musicians and fans alike disagree about what exactly qualifies a project to sport a fancy, hyphenated descriptor. These contentious discussions usually rely on naming well-known bands as a point of reference. (Try it for yourself! Ask a knowledgeable music fan to describe the specific sounds of post-punk and see what kind of a non-answer you get.) Given that Zeidler is a local authority, we asked him to take a stab at describing post-rock.

“Any [genre] that has ‘post’ before it can be difficult [to describe] because it’s not necessarily that thing,” he responded cryptically while sipping coffee at Burlington’s Muddy Waters. “Post-rock isn’t necessarily just rock. Post-punk isn’t punk. [The genres] start with a concept and branch out. So, you’ll have bands like BLOOD BROTHERS and AT THE DRIVE-IN and THESE ARMS ARE SNAKES that are post-punk, but they don’t sound like each other.”

“It’s the same thing with post-rock,” he continued. “What you tend to see are extended compositions [with] a strong focus on creating a soundscape. A lot of times there isn’t a singer, so you’re not going to have a verse-chorus-versechorus-bridge-chorus structure. I feel like the composition tends to be more artistic, because you have to create some sort of narrative that doesn’t involve vocals and words.”

In an email, Zeidler emphasized “cathartic crescendos” as integral to post-rock architecture. Given its generally wordless nature, it’s one of the least prescriptive rock genres and can be quite transcendental. And, you know, totally righteous.

Attention, vinyl lovers: A new record store called Autumn Records just set up shop in Winooski. The boutique vinyl emporium, located on East Allen Street at the top of the Winooski traffic circle, opened its doors for the first time on Saturday, September 30.

Seven Days caught wind of the thenforthcoming music hub this summer when a mysterious Instagram account announced the store’s impending arrival.

The name Autumn Records was vaguely familiar. We wondered, Didn’t local experimental music guru GREG DAVIS once operate a record label with that same name? He did indeed. Davis founded the CD-R label in his DePaul University dorm room 20 years ago.

It turns out that he’s the new shop’s proprietor.

“The whole idea and plan came into motion in November of last year,” he told Seven Days from behind the counter of his new business. Davis had his eye on the ’Noosk from the beginning. That’s because, with Pure Pop Records, Speaking Volumes and Burlington Records — the last of which employed Davis for several years — the Queen City is pretty much at capacity in terms of record stores. The avant-garde composer signed the lease on the Onion City space in July and began moving in about a month ago.

The shop is sparsely decorated but well stocked with an ample supply of cross-genre discs. Blond wood and exposed brick give it a modern, urban feel. Stereo equipment, cassette tapes and an adorable, pint-size selection of CDs are also available.

REVIEW this Near North, Most Every Night (SELF-RELEASED, LP, DIGITAL DOWNLOAD)

Franklin County power trio Near North took their sweet time releasing a fulllength album. They dropped their debut EP, Get Loud, back in 2012 and followed it two years later with another EP, On the Rafters.

You’d think their first LP would offer a wholly new collection of songs, but Most Every Night is essentially an exercise in cleaning house. In addition to some newer cuts, the record pulls a selection of older, previously unrecorded material from the band’s back catalog, as well as a peppy reinvention of its first EP’s title track.

Flirtations with country, punk and surf-rock buoy the group’s chunky alt-rock sound. Vocalist John Nicholls sings with the fervor and desperation of a young Bruce Springsteen. Hooks are

Wool See, Leaving / Left (HEAVEN NOISE RECORDINGS, CD, CASSETTE, DIGITAL DOWNLOAD)

competition for Vermont Single of the Year with “Good About You.” Swap Nicholls’ vocals for Belinda Carlisle’s, and the song could easily be a long-lost cut from the Go-Go’s 1984 record Talk Show. On more than one occasion, the instruments completely drop out, putting emphasis on the giddy-as-hell hook: “I feel good good good / Good good good about you!”

The reinvention of “Get Loud” trades the original’s slow, gently swung beat for an up-tempo, ska-inspired rhythm. Surf chords distance it from the old version’s down-home vibe.

Most Every Night is not a perfect record. Certain songs have melodies that tend to hover around a small grouping of notes (sometimes just one note), and a couple of tracks feel interchangeable.

But memorable choruses and unbridled intensity eclipse any monotony these shortcomings elicit.

Most Every Night is available at nearnorth.bandcamp.com. Near North celebrate their album release on Saturday, October 7, at the Monkey House in Winooski.

full of conceptual tracks, it isn’t a concept album about his new life; he’s got too much else on his mind.

So, what separates an “imaginary rap band” from a standard-issue rapper/ producer? For starters, the incredible melodic range. Tracks such as “Lumps” demonstrate that Wool See can produce intricate, orchestrated hooks and sound as well as any indie band on a major label today. He also drops some single-worthy Auto-Tune for the chorus of “Sideways,” nailing the space where EDM and modern R&B overlap.

The music is impressive, but it never overshadows the hiphop fundamentals. This dude can really rap. He’s so consistently creative, it’s hard to name standout performances. Still, album closer “Everything Goes Dark…” might be just that, spotlighting Wool See’s agile flow and meticulous wordplay.

The center of this album, though, is the title track. It’s an emotional journey that builds slowly and hits hard. Wool See cuts a perfect balance between baring his soul and remaining opaque, with a performance so strong that you could

easily miss the intricacy of his rhymes.

The beats here absolutely earn the “one-man band” claim. Wool See makes musical, constantly shifting soundscapes — equal parts Radiohead and Flying Lotus.

The album is packed with ideas, and all of them work. The mastering touch of Zebulon Dak makes it a treat to listen to, as well. This album bangs with huge dynamic range.

Leaving / Left is the work of an experienced, talented songwriter. Wool See’s lines are spare and artful and reward repeated listening. Every song here is carefully layered, giving listeners a lot to chew on. From celebrity culture to the role of alcohol in the music business to the gentrification of Portland, the album is the journal of a busy, hungry mind.

It remains to be seen how Wool See’s music will evolve from here, but evolve it will. As he states at the end of “Lumps”: “I do this shit to fight depression, not exist in the spotlight.” Sounds like he should fit right in here.

Wool See’s Leaving / Left is available at woolsee.bandcamp.com. Wool See performs on Thursday, October 19, at Anthill Collective’s Third Thursday at the Monkey House in Winooski. Local rapper Jibba “the Gent” and Portland, Maine’s Brzowski open the show.

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 7 SEVENDAYSVT.COM

Leaving / Left is the fourth album from Wool See, a self-described “imaginary rap band” created by rapper and producer IAME. While Vermont usually specializes in nurturing homegrown talent and watching them leave, IAME is a recent arrival from Portland, Ore. He was an established commodity in the hip-hop scene there, as a member of two of the city’s iconic rap crews: Oldominion and Sandpeople. As IAME, his catalog was already five albums deep — and that’s not even getting into his collaborative work. Rarely has the 802 hip-hop scene received an artist so accomplished or fully formed.

This latest album is heavily shaped

by IAME’s life-changing move across the country. Adjusting to the Northeast Kingdom can’t be easy after growing up in a metro area with more than two million people. Yet while Leaving / Left is

anthemic and utterly singable; guitar tones are dialed in to perfection. Despite its piecemeal inception, the record feels cohesive. And it rocks. Hard.

The opening track, “Come Kiss Me,” burns like a five-alarm fire. A scintillating guitar lick serves as tinder for the blaze, and Nicholls’ distressed voice pours gasoline all over it. Drummer Chris MacKinnon and bassist Joe Schmidlen arrive shortly thereafter for a volcanic eruption of feedback and thrashing ferocity.

“Saved” is a contemplative, perhaps self-deprecating, midtempo march. Psychedelic, reversed guitar lines unfurl over four-on-the-floor beats and metallic riffs. The track shows off the trio’s dynamic range, both in terms of production and songwriting. It’s fierce and full-blown at its peak but also reverts to a somber space for Nicholls’ quiet yearnings.

They probably didn’t realize it, but Near North have entered the unofficial

“Spirited Things: Sacred Arts of the Black Atlantic,” Fleming Museum of Art

BY RAC H E L E L I Z A B E TH JO NE S

Gallery view of Cuban Santería birthday altar by William Zapata

J

ust past the entrance of the Fleming Museum exhibition “Spirited Things: Sacred Arts of the Black Atlantic” stands a vitrine containing a leather whip, a choker with a heart-shaped rhinestone padlock, and a plastic “male chastity device,” all made in the early 2000s. For a show of religious art and objects created by Africans, African slaves and their descendants, this reference to the sexualized Western notion of the “fetish” might seem cheeky at best, strange and inappropriate at worst.

As one delves into the gallery and its abundance of contextualizing labels, however, it becomes clear that complex and exciting arguments about the fetish, race, slavery and reclamation are at the heart of the exhibition. The chief force behind those arguments is J. Lorand Matory, a scholar of West African and African diasporic religions and a professor of cultural anthropology at Duke University. His book The “Fetish” Revisited: Marx, Freud, and the Gods Black People Make is forthcoming in 2018. The professor offered a talk of the same name at the University of Vermont last week.

On display at the Fleming is a vast range of spiritual objects drawn from Duke University’s Sacred Arts of the Black Atlantic

collection. Among them are vessels such as a pink Cuban Santería soup tureen, sequined Haitian vodoun bottles and flags, and a full Nigerian outfit for possession by the god Şàngó. Though these are parts of syncretic spiritual practices that evolved geographically as distinct entities, every work shares an ancestor in Yorùbá.

This religion of West African origin is devoted to a pantheon of spirits known in English as orishas. The Fleming offers several laminated charts featuring

the various names of these deities in Yorubaland, Cuba, Brazil and Haiti.

While many objects are clustered by themes, such as “slave spirits” and “gender in the Black Atlantic,” four sitespecific altars anchor the exhibition. At the gallery entrance stands a “bóveda” altar in the style of Cuban and Puerto Rican practitioners of Spiritism. Matory himself constructed this altar, which includes framed photographs of his and his wife’s ancestors, small personal objects such as a toy car and a souvenir bell, a Bible and fresh flowers.

A Haitian vodoun altar and a Yorùbá altar have been installed farther back in the gallery. The former includes five brilliantly colored sequin flags, or drapo, depicting vodoun deities known as Iwas, or Loas. Exhibition text explains that some of these deities are also saints in Roman Catholicism, a faith simultaneously followed by many vodoun practitioners.

The Cuban Santería/Ochá House of the God Elegguá from the South Bronx Haitian altar also displays several

sculptural objects called pakèt kongo. These are considered to be living gods, made specifically for Matory by Haitian Chief Priestess Marie Maude Evans from cloth bundles of various ingredients wrapped in exuberant fabric, ribbons and feathers. (Evans will conduct a Haitian vodoun ceremony at the museum on October 12.)

Occupying an entire gallery niche, from floor to ceiling, is a Cuban Santería birthday altar, or “throne,” made by William Zapata. Vibrant blue fabric provides the backdrop for a family of elaborate beaded vessels, each constructed for a particular orisha with corresponding colors and objects. For example, fragments of coral adorn the vessel of the god/goddess of deep waters, Olocun.

This is not, of course, the first time African and African-descended religious objects have appeared in a museum. What distinguishes this show from others, Matory contended at his recent talk, is that historically most or all of these objects were “killed” first.

The European practice of stealing and exhibiting African religious art, he said, is one of collecting the “wooden carcasses of African gods.”

When Europeans began trading in African slaves in the late 1400s, Matory writes, they described Africans as worshippers of “fetishes,” or objects to which supernatural powers are ascribed.

movies American Made

T

om Cruise never gives his megawatt movie-star grin a rest, but, for the moment, he truly has something to smile about. After The Mummy handed the actor the most humbling flop of his career this summer, he’s back in top form — Top Gun form, you might even say. Watching him streak through the sky as real-life TWA pilot-turned-government-sanctioned-smuggler Barry Seal, one all but expects the first line out of his mouth to be “I feel the need for speed!”

Which, coincidentally, is one of a long list of illicit substances that Seal did feel the need to fly in and out of the U.S., according to U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency records.

Speed. Weed. Ludes. Blow. Stuff to blow up other stuff (plastic explosives). AK-47s. He was a busy guy. And, yes, a maverick. See what I just did there?

The latest from Doug Liman (Edge of Tomorrow), American Made is a factually freewheeling film and the most entertaining Cruise vehicle in many a moon. Seal was real. The Seal that Cruise gives us, though, bears only a superficial resemblance to the Reagan-era drug runner. This dude is fun.

No matter how dire the historical context. It’s a fact that the gifted Louisianaborn pilot flew 707s for TWA until 1972.

Virtually everything that happens after the picture’s 10-minute mark, however, is pure Hollywood. Imagine Entertainment didn’t pay screenwriter Gary Spinelli $1 million because he’s great at cutting and pasting from Wikipedia.

Cruise plays Seal as a hunky adrenaline junkie recruited by the Central Intelligence Agency to fly over Central America and photograph rebel activity. For all the excitement the job provides, it doesn’t provide particularly well for his family. Seal doesn’t think of refusing when cartel head Pablo Escobar (Mauricio Mejía) offers $2,000 for every kilo of coke he flies into the States.

The real Seal made daily deposits of $50,000 to his Honduran account through the early ’80s. The filmmakers show him frantically burying duffle bags of cash in his backyard until he runs out of room because, well, that’s funnier. Liman and Cruise want the audience to have a good time watching Seal play one side against the other. So comic scenarios are concocted out of whole cloth.

In the film, for example, Seal pays regular visits to Manuel Noriega to pick up intel and deliver government payoffs. In real life, he may have used one of Noriega’s runways.

Nonetheless, American Made is an undeniably good time. It’s briskly paced and

FLIGHTS OF FANCY Liman doesn’t give us the real Seal, but he does give us an absurdist fable with Cruise reaching heights he hasn’t in years.

amusingly absurdist. Cruise has rarely been as magnetic, perhaps because he’s portraying a human being and not the kind of bulletproof action figure he’s played for most of the past two decades. One thing the film isn’t, though, is thoughtful.

Even when Seal finds himself at the center of what would become the Iran-Contra scandal or is saved from jail by a last-minute call from president Bill Clinton, Liman and co. never pause to give events time to take on meaning. While that’s a legitimate artistic choice, it’s also a missed opportunity.

It’s fine to make a screwball comedy with government agencies running in circles like bureaucratic Marx Brothers. But I can’t help imagining what this movie might have been if Liman had cut the engine occasionally, allowing viewers a moment to reflect on its ominous mix of Hollywood and history.

With all the talk of making the country great again these days, we could use a wakeup call. Liman’s film almost offers an unsettling reminder of the nightmare “Morning in America” often was.

Ingrid Goes West

A

s online culture competes with the movies, it’s also inspiring more and more of them. On the heels of the horror flick Friend Request, here’s an indie comedy whose plot pivots around the use and misuse of Instagram. It may be tempting to say that Ingrid Goes West, the feature directorial debut of Matt Spicer, will be obsolete in a few years, but its themes are far older than the “like” button.

For the title character (Aubrey Plaza) of this dark farce, photo sharing is only a tool, just as live TV was only a tool for Rupert Pupkin in Martin Scorsese’s The King of Comedy (1982). What both appear to crave is applause, and they will go to disturbing lengths to get it.

When we first meet Ingrid, she’s assaulting a bride at her wedding — the culmination of an online obsession. Jobless, friendless and living in her late mother’s home, Ingrid quickly finds a new fixation: Instagram celebrity Taylor Sloane (Elizabeth Olsen), who embodies effortless LA chic. Soon Ingrid has moved to Venice Beach, transformed herself into Taylor’s style twin and surreptitiously tailed her home.

With one bold move — abducting and then “finding” Taylor’s dog — Ingrid successfully insinuates herself into her idol’s life. As she becomes Taylor’s IRL friend, her own follower list explodes. But how far will Ingrid go to make sure no one exposes her for the fraud she is?

SIGN OF THE TIMES Plaza becomes the mini-me of a vapid Instagram star played by Olsen in Spicer’s indie comedy.

Or is she? Where exactly do you draw the line between a clingy hanger-on and a stalker? Taylor, whom Olsen portrays with spot-on breezy fatuity, seems perfectly happy to bask in Ingrid’s adoration, not seeing or caring that this new “friend” rarely exhibits a personality of her own.

Spicer and his cowriter, David Branson Smith, cleverly use Taylor and her manbunned husband (Wyatt Russell) to satirize a certain glossy brand of hipster. Using their

faux-boho lifestyle to sell corporate products, these two are all style, no substance.

Amusingly self-involved, they find a counterpoint in Ingrid’s amiably dorky landlord, Dan (O’Shea Jackson Jr.), who likes her enough to become the unfortunate patsy in her schemes. We may appreciate his relative realness, but to Ingrid, he’s just another tool.

Who is Ingrid, anyway, when she isn’t infiltrating someone else’s life? Is her ultimate goal fame, companionship or simply a

stable identity? The film’s rushed opening does frustratingly little to establish Ingrid’s character, and subsequent scenes don’t shed much light on her background.

So it’s lucky that Plaza, best known for playing jaded, eye-rolling characters, shows impressive range here. She inhabits the fulsomely gushy persona that Ingrid adopts, while also fleshing out the character with flashes of self-awareness, suggesting that Ingrid never entirely buys what Taylor’s Instagram is selling.

Yet Ingrid still seems to crave the artifice of Taylor’s curated world — to need it as her reason for living. That’s the central creepiness the movie never quite confronts, even as it rambles toward a twist reminiscent of the Scorsese film. Why is Ingrid’s life so empty that she needs to suck her sense of self, vampirically, from others?

Ingrid Goes West covers territory similar to “Nosedive,” the cruelly comical “Black Mirror” episode in which people’s livelihoods depend on their social media rankings. Yet its satire never coheres with the same force. An abject eagerness to be “liked,” the film shows, can make us into terrible people. But did technology shape Ingrid’s falsity, or only give her the opportunity to boast #nofilter?

For some of us, this weekend is all about Blade Runner 2049, sequel to one of the greatest offbeat cult flicks ever. Meanwhile, though, Oscar contenders are trickling into our theaters in limited release. This week brings Victoria and Abdul, which is sure to please fans of Judi Dench being regal. Here she plays Queen Victoria, who makes friends with a young Indian clerk (Ali Fazal) and confronts colonial prejudice. Stephen Frears, who directed the period piece, knows all about putting British royalty on screen — he made The Queen. Reviews have been mixed, but Dan Jolin of Empire says that "Dench has once more made this iconic figure engagingly, relatably and all-too-fallibly human."

Starts Friday at Merrill's Roxy Theater in Burlington.

RACHEL LIVES HERE NOW HARRY BLISS

REAL FREE WILL ASTROLOGY BY ROB BREZSNY OCTOBER 5-11

eye and a lilt in your voice, say sweet things to yourself. In a spirit of play and amusement, pet and pamper yourself as you would a beloved animal. Can you handle that much selflove, Taurus? I think you can. It’s high time for you to be a genius of relaxation, attending tenderly to all the little details that make you feel at ease and in love with the world.

LIBRA

(SEPT. 23-OCT. 22)

You’re a good candidate for the following roles: 1. a skeptical optimist who is both discerning and openminded; 2. a robust truth-teller who specializes in interesting truths; 3. a charming extremist who’s capable of solving stubborn riddles; 4. a smooth operator who keeps everyone calm even as you initiate big changes; and 5. an enlightened game-player who reforms or avoids games that abuse beauty’s power.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): In accordance with the astrological omens, I invite you to slow down and create a wealth of spacious serenity. Use an unhurried, step-by-step approach to soothe yourself. With a glint in your

to tell us something of his philosophies, I do believe some of his propositions would sound like 2 x 2 = 13.” So said the German scientist Georg Christoph Lichtenberg (1742-1799).

Now, maybe you don’t believe in the existence of angels, and so you imagine his idea doesn’t apply to you. But I’m here to tell you that an influence equivalent to an angel will soon appear in your vicinity. Maybe it’ll be a numinous figure in your dreams, or a charismatic person you admire, or a vivid memory resurrected in an unexpected form, or a bright fantasy springing to life. And that “angel” will present a proposition that sounds like 2 x 2 = 13.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Unless you have an off-road vehicle, you can’t drive directly from North America to South America.

The Pan-American Highway stretches from Prudhoe Bay in northern Alaska to Ushuaia, Argentina — a distance of about 19,000 miles — except for a 100-mile patch of swampy rainforest in Panama. I’d like to call your attention to a comparable break in continuity that affects your own inner terrain, Cancerian — a gray area where two important areas of your life remain unlinked. The coming weeks will be a favorable time to close the gap.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Based in Korea, Sam-

sung is a world leader in selling smartphones and other information technology. But it didn’t start out that way. In its original form, back in 1938, it primarily sold noodles and dried fish. By 1954, it had expanded into wool manufacturing. More than three decades after its launch as a company, it further diversified, adding electronics to its repertoire.

According to my reading of the astrological omens, the next ten months should be an excellent time for you to do the equivalent

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): In my opinion, you’re not quite ready to launch full-tilt into the rebuilding phase. You still have a bit more work to do on tearing down the old stuff that’s in the way of where the new stuff will go. So I recommend that you put an “Under Construction” sign outside your door, preferably with flashing yellow lights. This should provide you with protection from those who don’t understand the complexity of the process you’re engaged in.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Actress and author Carrie Fisher wrote three autobiographies. Speed skating Olympics star Apolo Anton Ono published his autobiography at age 20. The rascal occultist Aleister Crowley produced an “autohagiography.” To understand that odd term, keep in mind that “hagiography” is an account of the life of a saint, so adding “auto” means it’s the biography of a saint penned by the saint himself. I’m bringing up these fun facts in hopes of encouraging you to ruminate at length on your life story. If you don’t have time to write a whole book, please take a few hours to remember in detail the gloriously twisty path you have trod from birth until now. According to my reading of the astrological omens, the best way to heal what needs to be healed is to steep yourself in a detailed meditation on the history of your mysterious destiny.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): If you go to the Historical Museum of the Palatinate in Germany, you will see a jug of wine that was bottled in 1687. In accordance with astrological omens, Sagittarius, I suggest that you find a metaphorical version of this vintage beverage — and then metaphorically drink it! In my opinion, it’s time for you to partake of a pleasure that has been patiently waiting for you to enjoy it.

The moment is ripe for you to try an experience you’ve postponed, to call in favors that have been owed to you, to finally do fun things you’ve been saving for the right occasion.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): If a latenight TV talk show called and asked me to be a guest, I’d say no. If People magazine wanted to do a story on me, I’d decline. What good is fame like that? It might briefly puff up my ego, but it wouldn’t enhance my ability to create useful oracles for you. The notoriety that would come my way might even distract me from doing what I love to do. So I prefer to remain an anonymous celebrity, as I am now, addressing your deep self with my deep self. My messages are more valuable to you if I remain an enigmatic ally instead of just another cartoony media personality. By the way, I suspect you’ll soon face a comparable question. Your choice will be between what’s flashy and what’s authentic; between feeding your ego and feeding your soul.

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18): A Canadian guy named Harold Hackett likes to put messages in bottles that he throws out into the Atlantic Ocean from his home on Prince Edward island. Since he started in 1996, he has dispatched more than 5,000 missives into the unknown, asking the strangers who might find them to write back to him. To his delight, he has received more than 3,000 responses from as far away as Russia, Scotland and West Africa. I suspect that if you launch a comparable mission sometime soon, Aquarius, your success rate wouldn’t be quite that high, but still good. What long-range inquiries or invitations might you send out in the direction of the frontier?

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): “Intensify” is one of your words of power these days. So are “fortify,” “reinforce” and “buttress.” Anything you do to intensify your devotion and focus will be rewarded by an intensification of life’s gifts to you. As you take steps to fortify your sense of security and stability, you will activate dormant reserves of resilience.

If you reinforce your connections with reliable allies, you will set in motion forces that will ultimately bring you help you didn’t even know you needed. If you buttress the bridge that links your past and future, you will ensure that your old way of making magic will energize your new way.

SEVENDAYSVT.COM

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You wouldn’t expect a 5-year-old child to paint a facsimile of Pablo Picasso’s “Guernica” or sing Giacomo Puccini’s opera La Bohème. Similarly, you shouldn’t fault your companions and you for not being perfect masters of the art of intimate relationships. In fact, most of us are amateurs. We may have taken countless classes in math, science, literature and history but have never had a single lesson from teachers whose area of expertise is the hard work required to create a healthy partnership. I mention this, Aries, because the next seven weeks will be an excellent time for you to remedy this deficiency. Homework assignments: What can you do to build your emotional intelligence?

How can you learn more about the art of creating vigorous togetherness?

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

WOMEN Seeking MEN

UNCONDITIONAL LOVE: DOES IT EXIST? I assume nothing and take nothing for granted. I like who I am, more so as I age. I desire nothing materialistic.

Would love a soul mate who feels the same. VtMokki, 72, l ACTIVE, FUN-LOVING FREE SPIRIT I appreciate beauty, fun, simplicity. I am currently into West Coast swing. I love being active outdoors and meeting new people. Let’s ski, sail, ride, swim, listen to music or experience something new together. Katie_bee, 64, l CREATIVE, ENERGETIC, FUN I hope to meet someone who shares similar interests: love of the outdoors and art, music and family. I hope to find someone who has a bit of a wild side and a huge sense of humor. It would be fabulous to find a partner who I can look toward the future with, make plans, and work toward dreams and goals. mustbemyturn, 46, l NONJUDGMENTAL, FRIENDLY, RELAXED I’m friendly, down-to-earth and a bit quirky. I like living alone; don’t want to change that. I don’t want to be the love of anyone’s life — too much responsibility. I’d like to have someone to spend time with — going out or staying in or walking around the block. I’m easily amused and don’t need to be entertained. MToday, 67

I’M THE FUNNY ONE I am delightful. You know this is the part I hate most. Well, as I look at profiles, I see skiing, hiking, all that exercise stuff, and I think to myself, Really? People actually do that? I love humorous people. Let’s just laugh. I haven’t been in a relationship since ‘04. So I thought to myself, Let’s give it a try. biginvt, 56, l

LET’S ENJOY LIFE TOGETHER The beauty of nature, creative artistry, compassion for others, music (all kinds, as long as it’s good), delectable food, biking, hiking, playing in the water and the snow — these are the kinds of things that make my life fulfilling, especially sharing these with another, or others.

I’m not looking for drama — just someone to share good times with. Mr1950, 67, l LIQUOR MONSTER I like long walks to the liquor store. I have a hard time feeling emotions.

I don’t drive, so you’ll have to drive my stupid ass around. I hate horses.

They are the worst. Have you ever looked a horse in the eye? Vacant.

POLO SHIRT, CLEAN-SHAVEN, CASUAL, POLITE I think of the old style: Ladies first, hold the door and she goes first.

No stress or drama at this point in our lives. larrywhite, 62, l 10 WEEKS I’m in a long-term relationship.

Your wise counselor in love, lust and life

ASK ATHENA Dear Athena,

My wife and I have been friends with this other couple since before we all got married more than 10 years ago. Now they are spitting up. I am sad for them and want to be there for both of them, but I am angry about some of the things the wife did (since the husband and I have been friends since we were kids). I love them both and I want to be a good friend, but how? Is it possible for all of us to stay friends?

Signed,

Breaking Up Is Hard on All of Us

Dear Breaking Up,

Your friends are lucky to have you. The love and kindness in your letter will help you along this somber journey with your pals. It’s really sad to watch a relationship dissolve, and it’s hard to be objective and sensitive to both parties. Here are a few tips to get you through this season of change.

First, it’s impossible to be completely impartial — but do your judging on your own time. When you and your wife are alone, you can have all the unedited debriefs you want. But when you’re with one of them, stay mum. They don’t need you chiming in; what they need is a friendly ear. Make separate and equal time to listen attentively to both versions of the story. This might feel frustrating at times, but let compassion guide you.

Be the kind of friend you’d want to have if you were in their shoes.

Second, beware of backlash. At some point or another, one of them may feel like you’re taking a side. Just remind them of your commitment to your friendship. Reassure them that you’re there to support them and are being as fair as you can. And offer them space if they need it. Giving relationships a little breathing room can ultimately bring you closer. Hopefully, in time, you can all get together in a civilized and mature way. But that’s a lot to ask for right now.

Finally, don’t be afraid to set boundaries. Be mindful of how much time and energy you’re putting toward their situation, and balance it with something that’s just for you. You can take care of yourself and still be there for your friends.

Good luck, Athena
