WHAT’S WEIRD IN VERMONT

a nonprofit that provides insurance policies and other services for municipalities, is now threatening to kick Victory out of its organization.

In a letter sent last week to members of Victory’s selectboard, the VLCT said that town officials have “exhibited a pattern of continued poor judgment and dysfunction which prevents the town from following good risk management practices.” First reported by the Caledonian-Record, the letter cited as proof the numerous lawsuits that town officials have filed against each other, and the town itself, along with other questionable behavior.

LAST SEVEN 5

llegations of murdered pets, pilfered town money, voter fraud and electronic espionage: The decades-long feud between two warring factions in the Northeast Kingdom town of Victory has included all of the above. Seven Days first covered the dispute in 2015. In April of this year, Mark Davis reported that the situation had grown so dire that some town officials proposed disbanding the Essex County burg.

Turns out they aren’t the only ones who think Victory, population 72, may no longer be worth the trouble. The Vermont League of Cities and Towns,

There are at least four active lawsuits involving Victory officials — because of its tiny population, around one-third of Victory residents hold some elected office — including one against the town clerk alleging “massive voter fraud.”

“We strive to provide our members with broad coverage and pricing stability over the long term,” VLCT director of risk management Joe Damiata told Seven Days. “To do that effectively requires a partnership between [VLCT] and its members to manage and control losses and claims.”

The VLCT board will meet on September 29 to consider its options. Victory’s attorney, Dan Richardson, said the town will fight for its right to remain in the organization. Assuming, of course, that it doesn’t disband first.

“I don’t think it was necessarily directed at us, but it affected us,” Kehler said. “We’re a team of 78, and on that team there’s everyone, every kind of person.”

The disturbing display is one of several that Vermonters have seen up close in the last few months. A teenager allegedly spray-painted a racial slur on the South Burlington High School athletic field in June as that community grappled with a controversial mascot name change. And a local white nationalist talked to Seven Days about his views and experience participating in last month’s Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Va. Incidents such as those, said Kehler, make speaking out against racism and anti-Semitism all the more important.

“We took it really seriously and didn’t feel like, given what’s happening on the national stage, in a post-Charlottesville world, that we could just let it slide,” Kehler said.

mployees at the Andersonville Farm awoke to an unsettling sight last Friday morning. Scrawled in spray paint on the side of a hoop barn were a swastika, the Nazi “SS” symbol, the word “nigger” and “#GET OUT.” The West Glover dairy produces milk for the famed Jasper Hill Farm, whose owners posted on Facebook about the incident and offered a $1,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of the culprit. Other, similar acts of vandalism were found in the area around the same time, according to the Vermont State Police.

“We’re hoping that this will spark dialogue” and help push “that hate back down into the sewers,” Mateo Kehler, Jasper Hill’s cofounder and head cheesemaker, told Seven Days reporter Molly Walsh.

Kehler’s Monday afternoon post quickly went viral, earning hundreds of comments and thousands of shares and reactions on the social media site.

A random dogooder picked a busy Burlington intersection to hand out money to passing drivers.

Better start reading those cardboard signs more closely!

WRONG ABOUT EVA!

I, for one, am quite impressed with Eva Sollberger’s Stuck in Vermont [Feedback, “Can’t Please Everybody,” August 30]. I love the whimsical style of her videos and have found so much more to love about Vermont through her videos.

Sometimes I do feel stuck in Vermont, and watching her pieces often makes me feel grateful for all the fun and funny things that happen here.

Thank you, Eva, for the fun and informational vids. We are so lucky to have you!

BARRE OR NEW JERSEY?

While Barre was not in the primary target area for the new center, a request on behalf of a city mayor warranted at least a courtesy visit. I was surprised when Lauzon said that he owned all the sites he was showing me and that the regional economic development official was fully aware of this when she contacted me on his behalf.

The Barre sites were not selected for reasons unrelated to Mayor Lauzon’s property ownership status. What I will say is that, as a consultant, I have been involved CLASS IS GREENER in feasibility studBACK IN BABYLON ies, business plans and site selection processes for apPL AYING proximately 24 TO WIN facilities similar to the Vermont Food Venture Center in 16 states from coast to coast.

The article on Barre Mayor Thom Lauzon caught my attention [“Playing to Win,” September 6]. In my former position as director of the Vermont Food Venture Center in Fairfax, I was tasked with identifying potential sites for the new facility, which ended up in Hardwick. An official from a central Vermont economic development agency contacted me and said that the mayor of Barre wanted to show me potential locations for the building.

WEEK IN REVIEW

HOWARD MOSHER TRIBUTE!

“A GEM!” – WBZ-TV

CORRECTIONS

There were a number of errors in last week’s State of the Arts story “WBTV-LP Flips the ‘On Air’ Switch at the South End Art Hop”: The late LJ Palardy was not among the original organizers of the station. Also, while the Core Group was the committee responsible for navigating the station through Federal Communications Commission hurdles and securing a broadcast license, WBTV-LP is currently run by the Radio Advisory Council, which has different membership. Finally, while Llu Mulvaney-Stanak did work for Vermont Community Access Media as part of the Core Group, the DJ’s tenure with that organization ended in 2016.

Additional errors in last week’s issue: The feature story “Sproing Fever” misstated the year Lake Champlain Chocolates moved to Burlington’s South End; the company has been located there since 1993. The profile of artist Frank DeAngelis, “Art Improv,” misidentified the venue where his works are currently hanging; it’s Revolution Kitchen. The Tweet of the Week was attributed to the wrong Twitter user; the tweet was actually by @julielyn.

LOVE SEVEN DAYS — AND HACKIE!

I have been a frequent and grateful Vermont visitor over the last few years for temporary work and voluntary hiking and cross-country skiing. I have so appreciated your paper that it has prompted a response.

Are Vermont readers aware that the altweekly newspaper, which had its heyday in the ’60s and ’70s, is almost extinct in this country? The Boston Phoenix has gone, and now the Village Voice — the best known and most successful in the field — has announced its forthcoming demise.

I am impressed with the quantity and quality of the reporting in Seven Days.

While your success is, of course, about the talent that is producing it, I would add that it also says a lot about the community that is supporting it.

My favorite column is Hackie. I hope its creator is thinking of putting the essays together for a book that would have a wonderful Studs Terkel tone. I plan to fly into Burlington on my next visit on the chance I might get a ride with that cab’s riveting driver.

So, what was the point of that article [“Playing to Win?” September 6]? The mayor of Barre was not a favorite of mine when I was an overtaxed resident of Barre.

However, I never thought he was any more of a shyster than any other businessperson.

This article seems to lead the reader down the red-herring pathway, then presents no more facts than those that have already been published.

The bottom line: Thom Lauzon is a canny and successful businessman who has happened to get elected in uncontested mayoral races several times. He gets his bosom buddy and admirer hired as city manager. No news there. A new councilor stands up and makes a valid point about open meetings and transparency, and she’s an enemy on the city council. No new news there, either.

I’ve complained that Barre residential taxpayers get short shrift in favor of business owners and often pay and pay for

city-driven benefits for them. Meanwhile, they get told how it’s all for them in the end. They seem to like it that way. They vote; he wins. He intimidates the city council; he wins again. So, what’s the problem?

That article, while well written, was basically a Reader’s Digest of my last 15 years as a taxpayer of Barre. Yawn.

ight about the time this newspaper hits the streets, Sen. BERNIE SANDERS (I-Vt.) will officially propose his long-awaited “Medicare for All” legislation. Vermont’s junior senator has been teasing the announcement for at least six months, but now it is finally coming to pass.

Which raises a couple of questions.

Back to School - Student Discount we honor 15% off with student ID First, why did it take so long?

The short answer: It takes time to put www.essexshoppes.com facebook.com/pages/essexvt together a real piece of legislation and 21 Essex Way, Essex Junction, VT | 802.878.2851 line up as much support as possible.

The second question is, why now? The issue’s going nowhere in this Congress, Untitled-6 1 9/4/17 10:30 AM and the nation’s political agenda is overcrowded these days, even by the wacky standards of the Trump Era. Sanders’ apparent goal is to influence Democratic Party politics. He is putting party leaders and officeholders on notice — pressing them to support a specific piece of legislation leading to single-payer health care.

Let’s go back to the first question: Why did it take so long?

This may surprise those who see Sanders as an aggressive pol with only one gear — overdrive — but supporters say he has been careful and deliberate. (Sanders’ office did not respond to requests for an interview with him or a spokesperson.)

“The senator wanted to take the time to get it right,” says CHARLES CHAMBERLAIN, executive director of Democracy for America, the progressive advocacy group founded by former Vermont governor HOWARD DEAN. “Set the tone for a conversation, put together a solid bill and build broad support.”

“When Bernie first went to Congress, he introduced a single-payer bill,” says University of Vermont English professor HUCK GUTMAN, a former Sanders chief of staff who now serves on the governing board of Our Revolution, Sanders’ postcampaign advocacy organization. “That is still the armature of what he wants to Breakfast do, but he realizes you can’t do it all at once.”

Lunch Gutman said Sanders’ bill would Dinner expand Medicare to include people beTake Out tween the ages of 55 and 65 as a first step.

“What’s taken time is to figure out how to phase in single-payer,” Gutman said. “He’s been trying to work out a bill that will be credible to people. It takes a while.”

So, the fire-breathing democratic so175 Church St, Burlington, VT cialist is playing a long game.

“This is the beginning of a serious, movement-building campaign,” says Chamberlain. “This is the opening salvo in that campaign.”

And the opening salvo is aimed at the Democratic Party, not at Republicans in Congress.

THIS IS THE BEGINNING OF A SERIOUS, MOVEMENT-BUILDING CAMPAIGN. C H ARL E S C H AM BE RL A I N

“Democrats are going to have to figure out how to move towards giving people what they want [on health care], without the threat that they might be worse off,” says Gutman, referring to Republican attacks on the Affordable Care Act. By contrast, Gutman says, “Medicare for all” ties single-payer to a well-known and popular federal program. It’s an easy political sell, suitable for a button or bumper sticker.

Chamberlain sees this as the moment to push the Democratic Party leftward.

“The party is going through changes,” he notes. “The corporate wing of the party is dying; the progressive wing is growing.

The progressive movement is starting to change the party on key issues.”

And you know what? It’s kind of working.

“We’re expecting to have more than 10 sponsors,” says Gutman. That includes “virtually all [Democratic senators] who might run for president in 2020. That says something about where the political center of gravity is going.”

Those prospective candidates signing onto Sanders’ bill include Sens. KAMALA HARRIS (D-Calif.), ELIZABETH WARREN (DMass.) and CORY BOOKER (D-N.J.). Even moderate Democrats such as Sen. JON TESTER (D-Mont.) are inching toward single-payer, according to the Washington Post. And former Montana senator MAX BAUCUS, a Democratic committee chair who was a crucial opponent of singlepayer during the Obamacare debates, has just endorsed the idea.

Sanders’ two Vermont colleagues are supportive as well. DAVID CARLE, spokesperson for Sen. PATRICK LEAHY (D-Vt.), says the senator “will be an

original cosponsor” of Sanders’ bill.

Congressman PETER WELCH (D-Vt.) has not taken a position on the proposal, but he has been a cosponsor of “Medicare for all” bills in the House every year since 2007.

Even so, “Why now?” is a fair question to ask. While his colleagues are fighting trench warfare against Trump and congressional Republicans, Sanders is firing his “opening salvo” elsewhere. Why not engage in saving the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, beating the drum for reproductive rights or promoting action against climate change?

Simple answer: Sanders isn’t a foot soldier. He’s a movement leader who sees a historic opportunity — and that’s more important to him than current issues in Washington.

And if Gutman and Chamberlain are right, what seems like an ill-timed and fruitless legislative maneuver may prove to be a turning point in the health care debate and in Democratic politics, as more and more top officials publicly commit to single-payer.

Since Sanders launched his longshot presidential bid, he has repeatedly defied conventional wisdom. Now he is positioning himself to do it again.

Welcome, Freshmen

On each of the last two Fridays, Gov. PHIL SCOTT has filled a vacancy in the legislature. On September 1 he named Republican CHRIS MATTOS to replace RON HUBERT, a Milton Republican who resigned from the House in July. Then, on Sept. 8, Scott named independent ED READ to take the Mad River Valley seat formerly occupied by ADAM GRESHIN, a Warren independent who is now Scott’s finance commissioner.

Mattos is a financial specialist at the University of Vermont Medical Center and a real estate broker in Milton. In fact, he works in the Century 21 Jack Associates office headed by House Minority Leader DON TURNER (R-Milton).

“He’s a bright young guy,” Turner says of his 28-year-old seatmate and officemate. “His family is from Milton.

He grew up in Milton. I think he will resonate with voters.” Turner describes Mattos as “fiscally conservative.”

This will be Mattos’ first entry into politics. He was partly inspired by his grandfather, PAUL ROBAR, who served in the legislature from 1983 to 1984. Also, the new rep notes, “There are few people in the legislature my age. I’m looking to be another voice for my generation.”

By 2019, Mattos could be the senior member of his town’s delegation. Turner is the interim town manager of Milton and the sole candidate for the permanent

GOT A TIP FOR JOHN? JOHNWALTERS@SEVENDAYSVT.COM

position. If he gets the job, he may have to leave the Statehouse at the end of his two-year term, though he promises to be “in the legislature for the 2018 session.”

The other new lawmaker, Ed Read, is president of Mad River Property Management.

“We manage a lot of condo associations and also maintain second homes,” he explains. “I have 12 full-time employees, plus up to 35 others in peak season, April through October.”

A pretty good fit for the January-May legislative calendar, eh?

“The only reason I could consider this is the seasonal fit,” Read says. “I’ll just have to get another plow guy.”

Read has been a member of the Fayston Selectboard since 2002 and ran unsuccessfully for the legislature in 2014 as an independent.

Scott was seeking a person without a party label to replace the independent Greshin. Read fits the bill. “I’ve always been independent, and always will be that way,” he says. “I’ll consider issues on their merits, not on political strategy.”

“It was not an easy decision, and I can’t say enough about VPR as an organization and a newsroom,” Russell wrote in an email from Boston, where she was performing over the weekend.

“I’ll be based in Chicago where I’ll focus on comedy for now.”

REBECCA SANANES, a reporter who covered the Upper Valley and Northeast Kingdom, has also left the station for reasons that are less clear. Attempts to reach her were unsuccessful.

VPR News Director JOHN DILLON responded to an interview request with a laconic email.

“Yes, Rebecca has moved on and Annie is leaving in October,” he wrote.

“We have plans to hire a producer in Colchester and to continue our coverage of the Upper Valley.”

Dillon did not respond to a request for more information.

Traditionally, VPR has seen relatively low turnover. But so far this year, at least six staffers have departed or announced plans to do so. They’ve all had their own reasons, but it’s starting to look a bit like a trend.

Turning to print media, there’s some movement at the Rutland Herald and Barre-Montpelier Times Argus. The papers were sold last summer by the Mitchell family, at which time multiple Herald staffers took their leave. “We’re building back the [Herald] newsroom,” says STEVE PAPPAS, editor of both papers.

Pappas is searching for one reporter right now, and hopes to add another by the end of this year.

Both papers have also undergone a modest redesign, launched on Sept.

5. On every weekday, each paper concentrates the news in section A, while section B is devoted to sports. In the old format, the sports pages didn’t have a reliable home.

“It’s very much a concerted effort to put the local news up front and highlight local sports,” says Pappas.

He sees that as a growth opportunity. “We need to do more game coverage and feature stories, previews of key games, power rankings, and we’ll produce guides for each high school sport in each market,” he says.

And that’s not all. “You’re going to see bowling scores,” he says. “People want to see names in the paper.”

Ah, the heart of old-fashioned newspapering. Of course, today’s “content providers” have a new name for it: hyper-local.

Whatever you call it, it works. m

The Brattleboro area is about to lose a friendly morning voice. After four years at WKVT Radio and three as host of its “Green Mountain Mornings” program, CHRIS LENOIS has accepted a job as associate director of marketing communications at Landmark College in Putney. His last day on the air will be Friday, September 22.

“That’s my background: PR and communications,” he says. “I happened to see that Landmark was looking for someone with my skills and experience.

When I went there for an interview, I just felt so comfortable.”

Landmark College serves students with learning differences — dyslexia, ADD, ADHD and autism spectrum disorders.

“Chris will be sorely missed,” says his soon-to-be ex-boss PETER CASE, operations manager for WKVT. “He’s the consummate professional. He got it done week in and week out.”

Case says “Green Mountain Mornings” will carry on with a new host, and the station is interviewing potential replacements. “Keeping the local presence is very, very important to us,” he says.

There are also two departures to report at Vermont Public Radio. As JORDAN ADAMS noted in last week’s “Soundbites” column, VPR deputy news director ANNIE RUSSELL is leaving in October to pursue her other career — standup comedy.

Hemp Is Hot: Vermont Farmers Find Fertile Ground in Cannabidiol Crop S T O RY & PHO TO S BY T ERRI HALL ENBECK

A

roomy, red-sided milking parlor remains the focal point of Quarry Road Farm, just as it has since Joel Pominville’s father founded it in 1953. But there’s a new addition this year to the 180-head Middlebury dairy operation. On a 13acre field where corn used to grow, the first crop of hemp is nearly ready for harvest.

“Hemp is easy to grow,” Pominville said. “If the money looks good and it looks like the future is good, probably we’ll end up selling the herd down to an easy management.”

Sam Berthiaume, his cousin and partner, put it more bluntly.

“We’re looking for a future,” he said.

“There’s no money in cows.”

Quarry Road Farm is not alone in viewing hemp as a new business opportunity. From generations-old dairy operations to upstart agricultural enterprises, Vermonters are climbing aboard the hemp bandwagon. The number of farmers filing for state hemp-cultivation permits — at an annual cost of $25 — leapfrogged from 29 last year to 87 so far this year, according to the state Agency of Agriculture, Food & Markets.

Farmers say the hemp-farming movement is driven in large part by an explosion of interest in CBD, or cannabidiol, a chemical compound found in cannabis.

Unlike its close cousin, marijuana, hemp is high in CBD but contains less than 0.3 percent THC, the psychoactive chemical compound that gets users high.

And unlike marijuana, it’s been legal to grow hemp under state law since 2013. While cultivation remains illegal under federal law, authorities haven’t targeted growers.

An increasing number of users have been persuaded that CBD can ease ailments from anxiety and arthritis to cancer and seizures. While the federal Food and Drug Administration prohibits producers from making curative claims, the market is exploding with Vermont-made, CBDinfused goods. And that industry is expanding beyond specialty stores, into the mainstream.

“It seems like I find out about a new CBD producer every few weeks,” said Ever Green Capital Management partner Dan Chang, who is growing 1,000 acres of hemp in Charlotte for research and development purposes with Gardener’s Supply founder Will Raap.

Excitement over this burgeoning industry was palpable last Saturday in the halls of the Burke Mountain Hotel & Conference Center during the inaugural Vermont Hemp Fest. Several hundred people converged to learn more about farming, testing and producing hemp products.

As farmers, scientists and entrepreneurs spoke to a conference room full of people about the growing demand for hemp, Kimball Brook Farm and the Vermont Hemp Company quietly unveiled bottles of their brand-new, CBD-infused iced tea at a festival display table.

The tea, selling for $5 a pint, vied for attention with dozens of other Vermont-made CBD products launched in the last year, including deodorant, maple candy and kombucha, as well as salves, lip balm and massage oil.

Rye Matthews is a consultant with the Vermont Hemp Company, a research and development firm based in Jericho, and the soon-to-be son-in-law of Kimball

Brook Farm owners J.D. and Cheryl DeVos of Ferrisburgh. He said iced tea, which the dairy company already sells without CBD, is its first stab at using the chemical compound in a product.

“If there’s interest, they’re open to more,” he said of Kimball Brook. That could include CBD-infused milk and butter, he said, evidence of just how mainstream this movement is becoming.

Consumer interest in CBD is also exploding, according to Eli LesserGoldsmith, co-owner of Healthy Living Market & Café in South Burlington. He called the speed with which so many CBD products have come onto the market “unprecedented.”

CBD milk and butter from a dairy haven such as Vermont would likely find a niche on store shelves, but LesserGoldsmith was less confident about iced tea.

“Like every trend, only the strong survive,” he said.

Farmers acknowledge that unanswerable questions abound about the industry: How solid will the market be?

Which hemp strains will catch on? Will the federal government maintain its hands-off approach? Still, they are eager to get in during the early stages of something that could be big.

“Everything is still happening,” Hemp Fest organizer Eli Harrington told the audience at one of the event’s breakout sessions. “This is a Vermont product with a national market.”

Brian Voigt, a research professor at the University of Vermont’s Gund Institute for Environment, watched from the back of the room as Harrington spoke.

“I see hemp having a market potential to be the thing that’s the difference between keeping a farm and losing a farm in future generations,” Voigt, who is working with the Vermont Hemp Company, told Seven Days.

Vermont is one of more than a dozen states where hemp is legal to grow. Its proximity to large Northeast markets, combined with its wholesome image, makes Vermont an ideal location to become a leader in the food-related hemp trend, according to Chad Rosen, founder of Kentucky-based Victory Hemp Foods.

Rosen said he is working with Vermont Hemp Company founder Joel Bedard to establish a hemp processing

that state legislators would approve a legalization bill. “After it didn’t pass, we asked, What are our options? Hemp came on the radar,” he said.

When Pimentel and his wife, Rebecca, planted this year’s acre-anda-half hemp crop, he said they didn’t know whether they’d be able to sell the harvest.

“Literally in the last four months, the market has opened up,” he said.

That market includes a trial batch of CBD beer in partnership with Long Trail Brewing Company. Pimentel initially approached friends at the Bridgewater Corners brewery about selling Luce Farm CBD honey in its gift shop. Next thing he knew, Long Trail was planning CBD suds.

“It happened in three weeks,” Pimentel said. The beer sold out in three hours earlier this month. He hopes there will be more, though he said Luce Farm and Long Trail have made no definitive plans.

Pimentel said he is now much more interested in hemp and CBD than

facility in the Green Mountain State.

Bedard said he is eyeing sites in southern Chittenden and northern Addison counties.

“It’s an extremely transformative opportunity,” said Bedard, whose company is buying hemp from farmers around the state, including Quarry Road in Middlebury.

For many of those getting into hemp farming, the work is part business, part evangelism.

Kyle Gruter-Curham, a 31-year-old Sterling College graduate, started growing hemp in Irasburg last year after his sister, who suffered from debilitating seizures, found CBD products a savior.

He started by planting 1,000 hemp plants. This year, Gruter-Curham seeded 4,000 and quit his job teaching science at the Laraway School in Johnson to focus full time on his new business, Creek Valley Cannabidiol.

He’s now producing a CBD-infused ginger kombucha beverage.

he sparse crowd didn’t appear to dampen the spirits of Margaret Burgess as she welcomed congregants to New Alpha Missionary Baptist Church on a Sunday in late August.

“Praise the Lord, everybody,” said the deaconess, who helps oversee church operations.

“Praise God,” 10 congregants intoned in response.

It was a regular Sunday service for Vermont’s oldest, and only, church that worships in the African American tradition. The windows and doors were open wide, admitting a cool breeze — and one curious reporter — into the sanctuary. The congregants found chairs inside the brick chapel beside the First Congregational Church in downtown Burlington, from which New Alpha rents space.

Most of those in attendance said they’d been coming to New Alpha for years, even decades.

“It’s a very loving church, in spite of numbers — which I don’t worry about,” Burgess, a South Burlington resident, told Seven Days later. “I see growth, I see movement, but everything’s on God’s time.”

For 28 years, New Alpha has been a place of community and worship for Vermonters grounded in the black Baptist tradition of gospel music, emotive preaching and fervent prayer.

The church, though, is in transition.

Since last December, when longtime pastor Rev. Leroy Dixon retired, it’s had no paid employees and membership has been declining. The New Alpha website redirects to a “currently inactive” message, and the Facebook page is rarely updated. On this particular Sunday, guest preacher Don Ray came from Plattsburgh, N.Y., where he pastors a black church, New Jerusalem Baptist.

New Alpha is trying to resurrect itself. After a year off, members are planning its annual Gospel Fest, a community celebration of gospel music open to other churches and groups, for March 2018. They’re forming a steering committee to hire a new pastor.

The regulars navigating this time of uncertainty are clinging to their spiritual haven in the least religious, secondwhitest state in the nation. According to 2016 census data, just 1.3 percent of the

Vermont population identifies as black or African American alone. While 54 percent of adults in the Green Mountain State call themselves Christian, according to a study by the Pew Research Center of Religion and Public Life, less than 1 percent specify “historically black Protestant.”

reasons,” said Burlington resident and longtime attendee Christine Kemp Longmore. “We’re here for everyone, but we’re here especially for African Americans and other people of color that feel like they need that connection to be part of this community.”

For now, those committed to the church give what they can in tithes and offerings. Regular volunteers, such as

deacons Burgess and Jarvis Grant, run Monday Bible studies, organize Sunday worship, and find guest pastors.

On the Sunday this reporter visited, Burgess had just returned from a vacation. She chose the hymns for the service just minutes before it started. After greeting attendees, she broke into the traditional gospel hymn “Just a Closer Walk With Thee,” in a full, clear voice.

Junior Selman joined in with a jazzy, upbeat electric guitar.

“I am weak, but thou art strong, Jesus, keep me from all wrong,” Burgess sang, as congregants swayed or clapped in time. “I’ll be satisfied as long as I walk, let me walk, close to thee.”

Baptist minister from Michigan, searched for a place to worship and found nothing suitable.

“I knew I couldn’t come here without a church,” Patterson told the New York Times in a 1989 article on New Alpha’s genesis. “So I knew I would have to start one myself.”

That’s what he did. The church met in the Christ Church Presbyterian chapel on UVM’s Redstone campus, explained Shirley Boyd-Hill, a Fairfax resident who said she was the first member of the choir there.

She and her husband, Roy Hill, were recent transplants from Petersburg, Va.; Hill had a job fundraising at UVM. The couple and Patterson connected because in a place like Burlington, BoydHill said, “black folk come together; we find each other.”

Within months, there were 50 attendees on any given Sunday. Eventually, a youth group and children’s choir were established, and families met for a monthly potluck dinner, Boyd-Hill said. On Sunday afternoons, New Alpha members would visit patients in the hospital or the choir would sing in local nursing homes.

“It was old-school; we were like family,” Boyd-Hill said.

Patterson left in 1994 for a job at Michigan State University. Two subsequent pastors led New Alpha for brief periods.

The last time the church hired a pastor, in 2000, the process took nearly three years, according to church historical documents. In the end, the steering committee chose Leroy Dixon. Though he lived in Springfield, Mass., Dixon stayed on at New Alpha for 16 years, driving six hours round-trip to preach in Burlington each Sunday.

When Dixon retired last December, the church faltered. Membership slipped, as did fundraising. Congregants found it difficult to make ends meet, despite relatively low monthly costs: less than $500 in rent, along with travel expenses for visiting pastors.

Head deacon Grant wouldn’t disclose New Alpha’s finances but said it’s sufficient. “We have funds available to do the work that the Lord has called us to do,” he said.

New Alpha isn’t the only church struggling to attract adherents. The First Congregational Church, which has hosted New Alpha for most of its 28-year existence, has about 300 congregants — down from some 1,000 that once worshipped each week. “There’s a huge number of un-churched people in the white and black communities,” observed Rev. Carrie Bail, First Congregational’s interim senior pastor.

New Alpha occupies a niche among Vermont’s observant black worshippers, Bail said. In fact, her church has been more successful than New Alpha in attracting members of Burlington’s New American community, including a large group of Congolese. New Alpha’s worship style “doesn’t cross denominational boundaries very easily,” Bail hypothesized.

And when people do come to New Alpha, they don’t always stick around, said Boyd-Hill. “Some people can stay here, and some people can’t,” Longmore said of blacks who move to Vermont.

“They’re so used to being in a more diverse community, it doesn’t work for them.” Longmore, who is biracial, was married in New Alpha soon after the church was founded.

For Longmore, the church has become a place of solace. “Being people of color in Vermont, you can feel really isolated or you can feel like you don’t belong,” she said.

Midway through the 90-minute Sunday service last month, attendance peaked at 16 — including the pastor and a reporter. Preaching from the Book of Samuel, pastor Don Ray explained there’s a danger in going through religious rites without adhering to the voice of God. “God was speaking, but they did not hear it,” he said of the young Samuel. Clad in black robes, he asked the congregation to repeat after him: “Speak, Lord. I want to hear what you wanna say.”

Longmore attended with her 25-year-old son, Wynston, who grew up in the church. New Alpha helped her children “form their identity” as black

One Way to Avoid Storm Damage: Knock Down the Houses That Flood B Y M A R K D AV I S

arre resident Jason Hallock has a rule: If the weather forecast calls for more than three inches of rain, he prepares to evacuate his home on Reid Street ahead of potential flooding. A first-time visitor to the neighborhood might think Hallock’s plans are an overreaction.

Gunners Brook, the body of water he fears, is usually a six-inch deep trickle, and his backyard, lined with tidy tomato gardens, sits a good 50 yards from the water’s edge.

Nevertheless, the brook has flooded Hallock’s basement during minor storms that barely warranted a mention in the news. Hallock’s isn’t the only Reid Street home at risk of repeated flood damage. Last month, state officials announced the government spent roughly $500,000 to purchase five frequently flooded homes from willing sellers in the neighborhood. The houses will be demolished as part of a project touted as a model of flood prevention in Vermont.

Hallock doesn’t want a buyout, at least not yet. He hopes an ongoing mitigation project, which includes the home buyouts and strengthening a retaining wall beside the brook, will put a stop to the flooding.

As the state continues to recover from 2011’s Tropical Storm Irene, environmental experts have increasingly come to believe that buying and removing flood-prone homes makes more sense than rebuilding and repairing in areas like Reid Street.

“We’re starting to build consensus that this is the way we are going to survive these flood events,” said Mike Kline, who leads the state’s river management program. “We’re … being a little more forthcoming with property owners about the ongoing expense and hardship associated with maintaining structures in some of these dangerous places.”

The recent devastation from hurricanes Irma and Harvey further showcases the risks of building in flood-prone areas and may invigorate buyout efforts.

In Vermont, removing homes in vulnerable places is a relatively new strategy. It began after Irene brought massive flooding to the southern and central parts of the state. The storm killed six people, washed out dozens of roads and stranded entire communities.

As part of a larger aid package, the Federal Emergency Management Agency provided Vermont $20 million for buyouts after Irene, according to Ben Rose, chief of recovery and mitigation for the state.

Moreover, the federal government has issued eight additional disaster declarations in Vermont since Irene, mostly for intense rainstorms that caused local flooding. Those events have brought another $2 million in federal aid, some of which funded more buyouts.

Government officials say buyouts appeal to both the head and the heart. They take people out of harm’s way and, by eliminating the need for costly repair and restoration projects, save taxpayers money over the long run. Those benefits are becoming more important as officials prepare for a future that they believe will have more large storms.

Flood-damaged homes and flood-control pylons in Gunners Brook in Barre

The state has bought 140 homes since Irene.

The buyouts occurred in every corner of Vermont but were concentrated in Windsor and Washington counties.

Technically, any home in a FEMA-designated flood-prone area is eligible for a buyout, if there is enough money, and if everyone — homeowners, towns, the state and the feds — is on board. The property acquisition program is for both homes that have been damaged by floods and those that could be in the future.

For most of the home buyouts in Vermont, FEMA pays 75 percent of its assessed value. Nonprofits and other federal government programs fund the balance — or, if they are desperate enough to get rid of a vulnerable property, homeowners can agree to accept less than the home’s value.

Once homes are demolished, the properties are deeded to local communities, with restrictions that they can never be developed.

Fifteen miles west of Barre, officials in Northfield are wrapping up a six-year effort that led to the demolition of 18 flood-prone homes on Water Street.

Part of the neighborhood was converted into a public park.

It was relatively easy to convince homeowners to take buyouts, Northfield hazard mitigation planner Michele Braun said. During a large rainstorm in June 2011, the Dog River jumped its banks, flooding many basements along Water Street. When Irene hit two months later, new furnaces that homeowners hadn’t yet installed were ruined in freshly flooded basements.

“That did it for people,” Braun said. “People in the neighborhood came to the town and said, ‘We’re done, we’re out of here.’”

Making matters worse, some of the residents did not have flood insurance, either because they couldn’t afford it or because they didn’t think it was necessary, Braun said.

Even with willing sellers, the buyout process was tedious, Braun said. The feds took a year to approve the applications. The first house didn’t come down until May 2013.

The loss of even a few homes can have a significant impact on grand lists in smaller communities.

“There are definitely people in Northfield who are still unhappy about that,” Braun said. “What I said at the time and I will continue to say is that it wasn’t the buyouts that hit the grand list, it was Irene. The flooding destroyed the value of those properties.”

Despite Barre’s relatively large local tax base, city manager Steve Mackenzie said officials there were initially concerned about losing taxes generated by five homes that are being demolished.

Vermont officials acknowledge they have been able to demolish only a tiny fraction of homes that are in flood-prone areas. More than 7,000 people requested government aid for damage after Irene, Rose said — so the 140 homes that came down were just a sampling.

“We will never run out of hazard-mitigation opportunities,” Rose said.

Among the homeowners who took a buyout after Irene was Don Reddick, whose house on the Tweed River in Stockbridge stood in the floodway.

Sen. John Rodgers (D-Essex/ Orleans) is a moderate Democrat with a libertarian streak who is not prone to chasing the latest fads. A stonemason by trade, he hadn’t farmed in years, but this year he sowed 12 hemp plants on his property in Glover.

“I’m probably the smallest of all the hemp growers,” Rodgers said. He’ll use his crop to learn more about different strains, how to process the plant and whether he wants to produce CBD goods himself or just sell the hemp harvest to others. Eventually, he wants hemp farming to be his main source of income.

“A lot of things intrigue me about it,” he said, including being able to work at home on his own land. The 52-year-old said his aching back, knees and ankles tell him, “At some point I’ve got to stop lifting stone.”

Rodgers is also sold on the therapeutic value of the CBD oil extracted from hemp. “I know people using CBD who’ve gotten off prescription drugs. I think this stuff has potential,” he said.

But the senator noted that hemp is an unusual crop to grow. “It looks exactly like marijuana,” he said.

He posted a sign clearly labeling it as hemp. “If somebody stumbles out of the woods and sees the plants, they’ll say, OK, I can’t get high,” Rodgers said.

The state Agency of Agriculture, Food & Markets regularly gets inquiries from police agencies about whether a certain crop is permitted as hemp, said Tim Schmalz, the agency’s plant industry

section chief. When they learn a plot is registered as hemp, police leave it alone, he said.

Beyond the annual permit application, according to Schmalz, hemp farmers face little regulation in Vermont.

Starting this fall, the state will offer voluntary hemp testing. For $150 a sample, the tests will reveal the hemp crop’s CBD and THC levels, he said.

Because hemp must test below 0.3 percent THC to be legal, farmers face a risk if their crops exceed the limit. “It’s no longer hemp,” Schmalz said. “We will let them know their hemp sample came in a little high and we will advise local law enforcement.”

Chang, who is growing hemp for research purposes in Charlotte, said he wants the state to provide more regulation, so producers can demonstrate that their products meet standards and separate themselves from those who don’t.

“We need regulation to legitimize the industry,” he said.

A growing number of farmers are hoping this will indeed be a legit industry.

Berthiaume, of Quarry Road Farm, said he believes in CBD’s therapeutic value. He and Pominville also believe hemp represents one of the most exciting new opportunities to hit Vermont farming in years. That’s made delving into hemp fun, they said.

“There’s no modern history with hemp. There’s no modern equipment with hemp,” Berthiaume said.

So Pominville bought a used 1973 cultivator. He sounded like a kid with a new toy as he explained how, with the help of a YouTube video, he rejiggered the height of the tines to accommodate the taller-than-corn, fibrous hemp plants.

tight, Longmore said. “We have to at least break even. If you have a pastor coming here from out of town, and you’re paying his expenses, you have to be able to cover that,” she said.

A full-time local pastor will be costlier still, and finding one isn’t easy.

Other churches have tried — and failed — to draw clergy of color to the state, said Rev. Arnold Thomas, the pastor of the predominantly white Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in Jericho. He’s the only full-time African American pastor in the state, and has occasionally spoken at New Alpha.

Storm Damage « P.19 water, Kline said. That offers a limited view of Vermont’s flood dangers. (A grant program administered by the Agency of Commerce and Community Development has funded buyouts of a few homes that were not covered by FEMA.) When FEMA does step up, home purchases are not the end of the story. After arranging for buyouts in Northfield, town officials realized they had an opportunity to do even more to prevent flooding.

Officials created a five-acre public park where the homes once stood.

They restored native vegetation to allow the area to serve as a natural release valve that could mitigate downstream flooding when the Dog River rises.

Officials have similar plans for the land near Gunners Brook in Barre.

They aim to convert a cluster of five homes into a floodplain with trees and shrubs. The city also removed a small bridge that had caused water in the brook to back up, and it added concrete pillars in the brook to collect debris.

But getting the homes knocked down was the most important part of the $1 million project, Barre Mayor Thom Lauzon said. Homeowners in the neighborhood, most of whom did

not have flood insurance, could not afford to rebuild again and again.

“This was long overdue,” Lauzon said at an August press conference.

“They were just constantly caught in the middle, digging two feet of muck out of their basements.”

The state plans to keep spreading the word about the buyout program and is collecting success stories.

After Irene, a federal buyout removed two homes near the floodprone Neshobe River on Newton Road in Brandon. During a rainstorm last July, the Neshobe rose again, flooding the empty field where the two homes once stood, state hazard mitigation officer Lauren Oates said.

But other Newton Road homes were damaged, and the town is on the hook for $500,000 to repair the washed-out road.

Later this month, Oates and other officials will meet with the Brandon Selectboard and Newton Road homeowners to discuss whether it’s time for more buyouts.

“In the best possible solution, we’d be able to purchase those homes, and the town could decommission the road entirely,” Oates said. “If we could do it all over again, we wouldn’t build there in the first place.”

For breaking local news and political commentary, go straight to the source: sevendaysvt.com/blogs/offmessage.

In his previous capacity overseeing Vermont’s United Church of Christ congregations, he had difficulty attracting black pastors to majority white churches and towns.

“African Americans did not find enough churches within our state that reflected their faith tradition, their racial tradition, even in an integrated capacity,” Thomas said.

As for New Alpha, its presence “signifies there’s still a strong enough critical mass of African Americans in Vermont to necessitate the establishment of a church with an emphasis on the African

American worship tradition,” Thomas said. “The challenge for New Alpha going forward is how it’s going to acquire a pastor with an appreciation for that.”

There’s reason to hope. Staff from the American Baptist region that covers Vermont and New Hampshire is overseeing the process, and there’s been “a surprising amount of interest from visiting pastors,” Longmore said.

“The doors will never close,” Burgess vowed. “Never.”

During his career in mental health as a social worker, he opted for the most difficult case I’ve ever known.

He handled it with panache and, as usual, total heart. I was in awe. He was equally adept in the kitchen, where at any time you could show up unannounced and he was only too happy to make you food from his kitchen and be fully present with you. He was a chef by trade and had just completed a degree in sustainable agriculture.

Jasen made a difference in everyone’s life that had the good fortune to meet him, and that’s why it’s so hard to think that we won’t have access to his authenticity, his acceptance, his unconditional assuring embrace and his particularly twisted, wonderful humor.

He was lovely and beautiful.

He embodied the human condition and exemplified so very much. I wanted more time with him. I’m so angry he is gone so early, and I can’t imagine the void he left for his family and friends.

If there is an afterlife when we pass, I hope Jasen will be right there to meet me when I cross over.

Carl Peter Hannus, fondly known as “Pete,” passed away peacefully on September 2, 2017, with his two daughters at his side.

Peter was born and raised in western Massachusetts, graduating from Mt. Greylock High School in 1964. He was an avid musician, playing the clarinet in his high school band and performing for musicals and concerts. He went to Boston University to study music, then worked as road manager for a jazz fusion band, Osmosis.

Peter studied television repair via correspondence school in Boston before moving back to western Massachusetts. He carried on his passion for music by playing his guitar for his daughters. He made television repair house calls for many years before shifting with the times to computer chip testing. He retired to Vermont in 2013 to be closer to his grandchildren.

In addition to playing music, Peter was an enthusiastic fisherman, a competitive pool player and an avid fan of all things science fiction.

He was most comfortable at home on a Sunday with the Boston Globe in his hand and the week’s papers stacked at his elbow, determined to read every inch.

Peter leaves behind his daughters, Jessame Hannus and Amy Skapof; son-in-law

time that helped foster the thespian in him. Everyone who met Jasen would be immediately drawn to his inviting, sweet smile and his soulful, loving eyes. His eyes looked as though they had seen a million lifetimes. They were so kind and forgiving, and his smile made everyone gravitate to him. He was easy, and he made you feel easy. I’ll always picture him in his tie, short-sleeve white button-up shirt and khaki pants onstage singing Billy Joel his senior year.

Jasen was passionate and funny. He would say the most unmentionable things so casually, and, in that moment of disbelief and laughter, the two of you would exchange a moment of uncanny joy and companionship because he helped you discover something about yourself.

I don’t know exactly what was the author of the pain he suffered from, but it haunted him early and was long-lasting. Jasen was a torrent when he was courting addiction. He didn’t do anything halfway. But we loved him for just that — for his loyalty, his willingness to at any minute go with you anyplace, anywhere. When he had peace with himself, there wasn’t a more kind human being. Utterly selfless and devoid of any pretense and genuine every minute, Jasen never, ever aspired to be anything but himself.

He was always fully present when you were in his company. You could count on Jasen to tell you what he thought, and he had an intelligent mind to be a great resource for anyone.

his weekend, acclaimed poet David Lehman will make not one but two appearances in the Queen City. The Best American Poetry series editor-in-chief will travel from New York City for a reading at the PAINTED WORD POETRY SERIES at the University of Vermont and at the Friday-evening opening of the BURLINGTON BOOK FESTIVAL. Founded and directed by Seven Days film critic RICK KISONAK, the book fest is Thursday through Sunday, September 14-17, at multiple city locations. It presents talks, readings and book signings with authors from Vermont, such as PHILIP BARUTH, TINA ESCAJA and ANGELA PALM, and beyond, including poet laureate of Virginia Tim Seibles, prize-winning poet and critic J. Mae Barizo, and memoirist Melissa Febos. And, back by popular demand, the Boston Typewriter Orchestra clickety-clacks in concert at Burlington City Hall Auditorium on Saturday night.

While literature is lauded downtown, poetry takes the stage up the hill at UVM. Lehman reads his work and talks with listeners in John Dewey Lounge, Old Mill Building, on Friday afternoon.

Since 2008, UVM professor and poet MAJOR JACKSON has invited poets to campus for the Painted Word readings. “The series was initially conceived to showcase local New England poets,” Jackson says, “but eventually became attractive to poets of national repute.

So, we aim for a balance and diversity of voices and experiences.”

Poets Willie Perdomo and LaTasha N. Nevada Diggs will read on September 21 and November 30, respectively, at the FLEMING MUSEUM OF ART. Jackson praises the participants in the series this year. He calls New York City-based Diggs an “extraordinary poet,” noting her collaborations with jazz artists such as pianist Vijay Iyer. Puerto Rican Perdomo, he notes, “will appeal to all, but especially to the Latino/ Latina Americans in our community.”

As for Lehman, Jackson calls him “one of the most important guardians of American literature.”

Lehman initiated the Best American Poetry series in 1988 to highlight new verse. Each year, guest editors select 75 poems from as many publications. Inclusions in this year’s collection, edited by former U.S. poet laureate Natasha Trethewey, originally appeared in diverse publications — from BuzzFeed to the Kenyon Review.

Lehman pens an introduction, drawing on the complexities and similarities of all 75 poems, to comment on the state of poetics, and the country, at the time of publication. This year, his introduction dives into unexpected milestones of 2016, such as the Chicago Cubs winning the World Series, Bob Dylan receiving the Nobel Prize in Literature and Donald Trump becoming … well, you get the idea.

A recent unexpected loss in the poetry world was the death of John Ashbery. The writer was a close friend of Lehman’s, a celebrated American poet and guest editor of the inaugural issue of Best American Poetry.

WORDS

as an extension of what I do; it puts me in contact with people and is something I enjoy. There must be a frustrated actor or singer in me.

Columbia University had [its] own radio station, and one of my roommates was Robert Siegel, the voice of “All Things Considered.” He was one of the major broadcasters on [Columbia’s] WKCR. I did a show about poetry, and to make it work we tried to have not only interviews and taped readings of [people like] T.S. Eliot and Robert Frost, but figured out ways of getting music in there.

SD: Have you spoken to Major Jackson about his new course? He’s doing a poetry podcast with his students, I think.

DL: No, but that’s good. Poetry is always influenced by the most current means of communication. The typewriter affected poetry. That’s very obvious in the work of E.E. Cummings or William Carlos Williams.

And the telephone had an impact, the same as computers. From the view of building an audience, you use whatever the newest means are.

David Lehman

Seven Days spoke with Lehman by phone about Ashbery, speaking in public, and fine writing.

SEVEN DAYS: Could you tell me about the efforts you’ve made to commemorate John Ashbery in this last week?

DAVID LEHMAN: I wrote a piece for American Scholar, for which I write a weekly column, and we’ve posted on the Best American Poetry blog many reminiscences of people who were close to John.

I think we’ve approached several dozen and have already posted really good notes from Archie Rand, the painter, Michael Malinowitz and Evelyn HorowitzMalinowitz, the obituaries [by] Mark Ford and Olivier Brossard and Andrew Epstein, and there’s much more on tap.

It’s a way of cushioning oneself by transmuting energy that would go into mourning into something more creative and generous. I think it will be impossible for people with an indifference to poetry to witness the reaction and not come to the conclusion that this was a very special person.

Poetry is written for a tiny section of the populace, but [Ashbery] was a towering figure for so many different people.

SD: How often do you participate in events like this — the Painted Word series and the Burlington Book Festival?

DL: I’m no stranger to these. They’re usually very enjoyable occasions, because people who’ve gathered have an interest in poetry and art, and you get to see a lot of colleagues who you don’t get to see [often] because they live in different places. You get to sign copies of books, which is very cheering for a writer.

And, if you like performing, it’s good.

Some studies rank public speaking as people’s biggest fear. They dislike it more than a visit to the dentist.

I’m one of the luckier ones who regard public speaking

SD: In the introduction to Best American Poetry 2017, you mention that the Kenyon Review and Ploughshares are “on the honor roll” for having contributed more poems to the series than other publications. Is that consistently true through the years? Do different publications come to the forefront despite changes in editors?

DL: It changes every year. One year it was the New Yorker magazine that gave us the most poems. Another year, recently, it was something called “Poem a Day” from the Academy of American Poets website. Ploughshares and Kenyon Review are excellent magazines, and often we have printed poems from them. There are many distinguished magazines in the country that don’t get enough credit. I think a subsidiary objective of the Best American Poetry [series] is not only to bring poetry to the fore but to acknowledge the magazine[s] that published the poetry.

SD: What are you reading right now?

DL: I was just reading a collection of poems that hasn’t yet been published, by a young woman who is an outstanding poet and asked me to write a blurb for the back of the book. I was rereading [Fyodor] Dostoyevsky’s Notes from Underground, Virginia Woolf, some of her essays, and I was reading a book [by] Aldous Huxley called Point Counter Point.

I just reread some Ashbery. And the other day I read through Best American Poetry 2017. You’ve read it all with an eye toward fixing errors, and then you read the book [once it’s published], and you find an error in your forward. But, aside from that, you’re enjoying all the poems and the way they interact, like sitting next to each other on barstools having conversations while sipping cocktails. m Contact: sadie@sevendaysvt.com

also choose to have children,” she wrote.

The soprano is especially grateful for her community’s support because she feels that Tanglewood’s preeminent musicians Mary Bonhag on faculty helped her significantly improve her instrument. The singing program’s director this year was the esteemed soprano Dawn Upshaw, who helped train Bonhag while the latter earned her master’s degree in vocal performance at Bard College.

In addition to taking twice-weekly voice classes and giving regular recitals, primarily at the intimate Seiji Ozawa Hall, the voice fellows received specific coaching on each new program from a different faculty member. And, wrote Bonhag, there were “concerts to attend every single night of the highest caliber” — including those by her fellow singers.

Reviewers for the New York Times and Classical Voice North America both took special note of Bonhag and MacNeil’s performances, with a third singer, of contemporary composer David Lang’s “just (after song of songs).” “A beautiful performance,” the Times reporter wrote.

One of Bonhag’s emails conveyed just how momentous the summer was for her: “I saved the voice mail from November saying I got in [to Tanglewood] until I just got home last week. That’s how excited I was!”

This weekend’s concerts will allow her and the other highly select musicians to pour their emotion into song.

Soprano MARY BONHAG was on complete voice rest last week prior to a concert at the Resonant Bodies Festival in Brooklyn. So this owner of a beautifully expressive voice in both speech and song could use only email to describe what may have been her richest musical summer yet — as a 2017 fellow at Tanglewood Music Center.

Bonhag was one of only 15 singers to win a spot in national auditions at the summer home of the Boston Symphony Orchestra. It was her fourth attempt in 10 years. “This is not an uncommon story,” she wrote.

“It’s pretty darn competitive.”

Now Bonhag has invited two of her fellow Tanglewood singers to join her on the season-opening concert of SCRAG MOUNTAIN MUSIC, the central Vermont chamber series that she and her husband, EVAN PREMO, run from their Marshfield home. Bonhag, mezzo-soprano Jazimina MacNeil and bass Andrew Munn will sing a program of songs by Franz Schubert, Johann Sebastian Bach, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Kurt Weill, William Bolcom and others — some of which they performed at Tanglewood.

Premo, a double-bass player, will accompany Munn and pianist Adam Rothenberg, another Tanglewood fellow, on a Mozart concert aria.

The concert is, in part, a thank-you to the Vermonters who made the singer’s summer possible. Bonhag was determined not to leave her husband and two young sons behind for eight weeks, even to pursue a dream she has had since high school. So she launched a GoFundMe campaign to help cover the costs of staying in Lenox, Mass., with her family.

Of the $10,000 needed for a furnished place, supporters raised the requested $6,000. Tanglewood pays its fellows $2,000. “They’re not used to having fellows with children,” Bonhag wrote. (Premo periodically traveled back and forth for performances with the CRAFTSBURY CHAMBER PLAYERS, the VERMONT SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA and the ROCHESTER CHAMBER MUSIC SOCIETY. Bonhag stresses the importance of starting “a conversation about the need for foundations and grants for … [musician] mothers and families. We are limiting the amount and kinds of art and music we all can experience if we don’t support musicians who

minds.

ANTHILL COLLECTIVE — a team of artists primarily composed of SCOTTIE RAYMOND, BRIAN CLARK and HARRISON HOLMES — has been adorning Chittenden County walls since 2011. Raymond says the idea for a local graffiti festival has been percolating “ever since we started going to events like Art Basel [in Miami] and Under Pressure in Montréal. It’s just a really rad way to show Burlington this thing that we love in a way they might get more than they usually do.”

Enter Above the Radar, a three-day festival on Burlington’s waterfront that begins on Friday evening. Over the weekend, graffiti artists will adorn a 260-foot, west-facing wall of a large building on the Burlington waterfront.

Lake Champlain Transportation owns the building, which is near the King Street ferry dock.

And of course, it wouldn’t be a festival without music and food to entertain and fuel artists and observers alike.

Performers include DJ KANGANADE, hip-hop groups SELF PORTRAIT and BOOMSLANG, and others. Taco Truck All Stars and Shy Guy Gelato will supply the edible elements. “[Graffiti is] probably the single biggest modern art movement in the world and becoming more widely accepted, but it’s pretty under the radar in Vermont,” Raymond says, explaining the name of the festival. “People don’t want to see graffiti-lettering pieces — they

ART

Kobra paint donated about 150 cans of spray paint for the artists, Raymond estimates.

The artists themselves will determine the murals’ content. There’s no set theme, Raymond says, other than the festival’s name. “Rather than telling people, ‘This is the concept we want you to work with,’” he explains, “we want you to meet your neighbor and collaborate. Hopefully, everybody will inspire each other.”

And, he also hopes, the artwork will inspire city residents to take the genre more seriously. In the description of the festival on Facebook, Anthill says it envisions graffiti as a medium for social change. “With most visual art, you have to walk into a gallery or museum,” Raymond says. “Graffiti confronts people on the street. I see it as a way to convey a message.”

Former Dealer.com employee JILL BADOLATO, who worked closely with Anthill to secure funding for the festival, agrees. In her 12-year tenure at Dealer as director of corporate social responsibility, she coordinated a multitude of public art projects, including painted recycling containers for CSWD, art-spangled doors at Camp Ta-Kum-Ta, a mural at the King Street Center and painted sails at the Lake Champlain Community Sailing Center.

want to see flowers and birds. We just want to show people that it’s a legitimate art form.”

Anthill selected a lineup of individual artists and collectives from Vermont and elsewhere to participate in Above the Radar. “We basically started with the people we’ve met at other events — people we’ve worked with before, and it just grew organically from there,” Raymond says.

Cedric Vise Douglas, who goes by Vise 1, and Julez Roth will come from Boston. Last year, they made a brief visit to Burlington to paint the back of ARTSRIOT. 123KLAN will make the trip south from Montréal. The French-born

husband-and-wife duo focuses on fusing graffiti styles with contemporary design and frequently collaborates with sportswear brands.

In all, 25 artists or groups — including Anthill — will be painting this weekend.

According to Raymond, there’s a waitlist for others who would like to join in.

Each artist or group will be assigned a small length of the long wall, which already has been primed with 36 gallons of black paint. The Local Color program operated by the Chittenden Solid Waste District donated 20 gallons of recycled top coat; Benjamin Moore, via Vermont Paint, donated some of the base coat and gave Anthill a reduced rate on the rest.

“I like to look for canvases that fuse business, art and community in unexpected ways,” Badolato says. “I consider myself an art instigator of sorts. Most of the cities I have traveled to around the world [during] the last decade revere and celebrate street art.”

Badolato has worked with Anthill on previous projects and expresses confidence in Above the Radar.

“I knew we could pull this off,” she says.

“It’s a big wall, but we have it covered.”

[Re Off Message: “Advocate: Transient’s Latest Arrest Exposes Holes in Social Safety Net,” August 25]: Eight hundred sixty-one contacts with police, $12,000 in fines, more than 100 arrests. How much money has this poor soul cost Vermont? At the same time, the Windsor prison, which is almost empty, is costing Vermont $83,000 per inmate [“Vermont’s ‘Most Beautiful’ Prison Has an Uncertain Future,” September 6]. Do either of these items make any sense to anyone? Who in state government is looking at the big picture? Convert half of Windsor to a residential mental health facility, reduce Department of Corrections expenses and increase mental health facilities in one fell swoop.

As an aside, what are the courts doing with mental health issues? How can this person pay fines? Why impose them? Why arrest him if he is released the next day with no address, no money and no life?

This is inhumane, pointless and just plain stupid!

I’m not sure if “State of Need” [August 30] was meant to engender sympathy or anger the folks who are not getting state benefits, workANTIQUES HOEDOWN ing two or three jobs and paying a third of their incomes to state and federal taxes.

The “cases” highlighted therein exemplify seeming absurdities.

Case No. 1: a second-generation welfare recipient who hooked up with her “high school sweetheart” to have two kids, yet neither “has been able to hold down jobs.”

Case No. 2: a single mom who “suffers mental disabilities” yet decides, in a more lucid moment, to have four children?

Case No. 3: Her partner works. She has no driver’s license and has “chronic depression and anxiety” yet has two kids and bemoans living “a mile from the closest convenience store”? That’s a short hop for most Vermonters!

Cases No. 4 and 5 involve foreign nationals, one with a “deported” partner and another with no partner yet who has two kids and speaks no English?

I hope we will remove Dorothy Canfield Fisher’s name from the Vermont children’s book award [“Surrender Dorothy?”

June LATINO LEARNERS 21; Off Message: “Library Board Delays Decision on Renaming Dorothy of Need Canfield Fisher Award,” July 11].

The Vermont eugenics movement, which was centered at the University of Vermont under professor Henry TAKING ON APU Perkins, was a COCKTAIL CROWD shameful chapter in Vermont’s history that did much harm to its victims, their families and their heirs. It must not be whitewashed or swept under the rug but rather taught and discussed in our state’s schools, colleges and universities so that it will never be repeated. I think Judy Dow has given ample proof that Fisher was a follower and played a role in writing some of its materials and publications.

Vermont as a state has never admitted to the genocide and broken treaties that gave us this land we call “ours.”

How many times must we tread on the natives of this country? We have a chance here to begin the healing. I hope the librarians of Vermont will lead us!

Stories like these do nothing but reinforce stereotypes about current welfare recipients — but, hey, our new state motto could be “Vermont: slightly less generous benefits; only Massachusetts and New Hampshire can beat us!” Our planet is choking from the weight of our ever-expanding human onslaught, and yet folks who cannot get or keep their stuff together decide to have multiple progeny knowing that there’s a generous safety net and see this whole insane system as sustainable enough to contribute to its demise?

THE STRAIGHT DOPE BY CECIL ADAMS

Dear Cecil,

Just wondering which country has the loosest free-speech laws. I imagine there has to be one with even fewer limits than the U.S., right?

— Velocity, via the Straight Dope Message Board — uncovered faces help everybody “live together,” France argued before the European Court of Human Rights, which agreed.)

But other restrictions are less divisive. Indeed, an understanding that some speech regulation is socially useful is just sort of baked into a lot of European governance, such that National Public Radio did a story, tied to the 2012 protest ban, on how U.S. notions of free speech can be “perplexing” abroad. Most instances where other democracies limit expression are situations in which they’re trying to stem hatred. Schauer writes, “There appears to be a strong international consensus that the principles of freedom of expression are either overridden or irrelevant when what is being expressed is racial, ethnic or religious prejudice.” He mentions Germany and Israel, for instance, both of which have banned the Nazi party as well as other groups that promote racial superiority; Germany, France and Canada, which criminalize Holocaust denial; and a long list of countries that

make it a crime “to engage in the incitement to racial, religious or ethnic hatred or hostility.” For much of the world, per Schauer, such utterances “are widely accepted as lying outside the boundaries of what a properly conceived freedom of expression encompasses.”

Again, inciting hatred is the key concept here. Meanwhile, in the U.S., it’s the incitement to harm or violence that marks the bounds of the First Amendment. (In the early ’90s, the U.S. was one of only 12 countries out of 129 that objected to a United Nations convention calling for laws criminalizing speech “based on racial superiority, or hatred [or] incitement to racial discrimination.”) You’re probably aware of at least one of the little jurisprudential holes carved out over the years: the famous shouting-fire-in-a-crowdedtheater standard, a nonbinding example set forth by Oliver Wendell Holmes in a 1919 Supreme Court opinion holding that citizens’ speech could be restricted only if it posed a “clear and present danger.”

The Supreme Court raised the

he notion of American exceptionalism finds itself on thin ice nowadays, so congrats for locating one element of the ol’ national identity, anyway, that remains sui generis: The United States Constitution is generally regarded as providing the most robust speech protections around. Being unique isn’t necessarily a virtue, of course, and in the eyes of much of the world the United States’ conception of free speech comes across as rather extreme — the legal scholar Frederick Schauer, a former First Amendment professor at Harvard University, calls us a “recalcitrant outlier to a growing international understanding of what the freedom of expression entails.”

Other countries, even (or especially) liberal democracies, have figured out ways to regulate speech for what they deem to be the overall social good — obviously sometimes a contentious concept. In 2012, for instance, France preemptively banned public protests against an online video perceived to be anti-Muslim, citing fears of violence. (It’s also outlawed burkas

standard a half century later with a requirement of “imminent lawless action” before speech could be criminalized.

In the case in question, an Ohio Klan leader had been arrested after advocating attacks against Jews and black people.

Generally, U.S. courts have tried to identify where speech might tip over into violence and set its limits there, while giving most other expression a wide berth. And folks here seem to like it that way: Per a 2015 Pew study, 77 percent of Americans “support the right of others to make statements that are offensive to their own religious beliefs,” and 67 percent were OK with statements “offensive to minority groups” — higher numbers than seen in any other nation surveyed.

But what of freedom of speech’s close First Amendment cousin, freedom of the press?

Here’s where we don’t do so hot.

The watchdog group Reporters sans Frontières ranks countries in its annual World Free Press Index, and its most recent report placed the U.S. at number 43 of 180 countries — down from 41 in 2016. The report cited the arrests of journalists at protests,

the outgoing Obama administration’s prosecutions of leakers and, of course, the gang recently installed in Washington, D.C., not known for their love of constitutional norms and especially unaffectionate toward the fourth estate. Who’s got the world’s freest press? Norway, lauded

by RSF for a rarity of violence and political pressure directed at journalists and for its strong laws limiting consolidation of media ownership. Nordic countries hold the first four spots on the 2017 list.

Which may square with a theory Schauer offers for America’s free-speech exceptionalism: Our love of personal liberty outweighs all. European social democracies, as exemplified in Scandinavia, strike a different balance between communal value and individual rights, so it makes sense they’d outshine the U.S. when it comes to protecting institutions like the media, seen as broadly benefiting society as a whole. What we lack in strong institutions, by contrast, we make up for in unaffiliated racist cranks exercising their right to publicly say more or less whatever they want. I guess that’s the good news.

But the customers to pay parking expanded usage was actually fees remotely. conceived by the Department KEN PICARD

few weeks ago, Nancy Rabinowitz was running late to meet her husband for their 19th anniversary dinner. As the Burlington resident related in a recent email to Seven Days, she was desperate to park near the restaurant. Finding no street parking available, she pulled into a private lot at 110 Main Street. There, she inserted her credit card into the kiosk, requested two hours of parking — at $4 per hour — and hurried off to meet her hubby.

The couple enjoyed a nice dinner, Rabinowitz reported, despite some “very, very slow service.” But when she finally returned to her vehicle two hours and 20 minutes later, she discovered an unexpected anniversary present: a $30 ticket on her windshield.

“I am usually happy to pay a ticket,” Rabinowitz added, “but between the $4-per-hour charge and then the resulting ‘ticket’ … it seems like highway robbery to me.”

Hats off to Rabinowitz for being “happy” to pay her tickets — most people grumble and grouse about theirs. But her husband questioned whether she needed to pay the unusually steep fine at all, as it was issued on private property.

If she failed to pay, he asked, what’s the worst that could happen?

As many Burlington motorists are only just discovering, hundreds of previously off-limits parking spaces in downtown are now available to the public through a private company. In November 2015, Unified Parking Partners of Vermont — a division of a company based in Portland, Maine — began offering public-access parking services at a handful of private

So what happens if customers don’t pay their fines? Yacavoni said his company has subcontracted parking enforcement to yet another private firm, Park Select. Its staff issue tickets like the one Rabinowitz received and, if necessary, disable the vehicle with a Denver boot — a metal clamp locked onto a wheel that immobilizes the car.

According to news reports, this process was controversial in Portland and resulted in at least nine complaints filed with the Better Business Bureau.

But, according to UPP’s website, the company prefers booting vehicles to towing them. Why? Says UPP, the boot allows customers to access their belongings and pay their fine on-site rather than making a separate trip to an impoundment lot, which may not be open 24-7. Also, it prevents potential damage to vehicles in the towing process.

According to Yacavoni, vehicles only get towed if they’re abandoned.

How often does either enforcement action occur? Yacavoni claimed that, since November 2015, UPP-Vermont has only towed three cars and never once applied a boot. In contrast, Burlington’s parking enforcement manager, John King, said the city routinely tows vehicles that owe more than $75 in unpaid fines.

And what happens if a customer refuses to pay a privately issued ticket?

Yacavoni said the customer will be mailed overdue notices, and unpaid tickets eventually will be “turned over to collections.”

As for Rabinowitz, she decided to take no chances and paid the fine, writing it off as “just the wages of running late for your anniversary dinner.”

hen performing arts presenters announce their new seasons, we get a frisson of anticipation: Who and what will be coming our way this year? Reliably, we find a diverse mix, from beloved Broadway shows, musicians and standup comedians to edgy, experimental acts that might push our buttons or blow our minds. Or both.

It’s no secret that, in this small and largely rural state, Vermonters receive an almost overwhelming number of touring acts — never mind the many talented artists who actually live here. The bounty might lead some of us to take this performing arts thing for granted. We shouldn’t — perhaps especially when (no exaggeration here) the world as we thought we knew it seems to be out of control.

This would be a good time to ruminate on why artists are compelled to do what they do and, conversely, why the rest of us ought to consider an evening at the theater over a night with Netflix. In other words, what’s in it for us?

We posed these questions to a few local experts — those who book the shows and are just as passionate as the artists they bring. Natalie Neuert, director of the University of Vermont’s Lane Series, says that, for performers, “it’s the language they speak … It’s the way they want to share something with other people, emotionally or intellectually.”

As for the recipients of that communication — the audience — Neuert says, “I really believe that live performance is a fundamental way we have of being human together. It’s a shared experience where we never know what the outcome will be.”

Margaret Lawrence, programming director at the Hopkins Center for the Arts at Dartmouth College, acknowledges that she’s “thinking about our country, where we are in the world, our environment.” In addition to what artists express about themselves, she believes they “bring a sense of resilience, when we’re all in the same room together, a moment of truth.

“We’re having conversations about how to deal with our differences, where do we go from here, respectfully,” Lawrence adds. “In this time of confusing communication, it’s incredibly important.”

At the Flynn Center for the Performing Arts in Burlington, artistic director Steve MacQueen underscores the notion of human connection in the theater. “To me, the entire experience is the same for audience and performer,” he says. “The performer will present something to the best of their ability, and the audience will be open to it.” Personally, he notes, “I like performance that takes you by surprise — it becomes more meta, almost spiritual.”

Hope Sullivan has only just arrived in Vermont as the new executive director of the Spruce Peak Performing Arts Center in Stowe, and so the current season represents the vision of retiring director Lance Olson.

But Sullivan’s background with performing arts institutions — both presenting and educational — has shaped her convictions. While she expresses similar thoughts about artists and communication, Sullivan suggests that people also perform to transform.

“Whether it’s to transform themselves, the community or the world, it’s about impact and engagement and making a difference,” she writes in an email. “That’s something we all strive for in our own unique ways, which is part of what makes witnessing performing arts such a compelling and powerful experience.”

Of course, not every show has to be transcendent. Simply spending a couple of hours lost in music or laughing at funny people is more than all right. Hey, it’s two hours of not freaking out.

But can live performance really help us all get along? “For me, music is an intangible cultural heritage that helps you understand other people — and yourself,” says Neuert. “That’s why I listen.” When we attend an excellent performance, she suggests, “it shows us the extent of our humanity.”

That seems like a good start.

And so are the following spotlights, meant to sample a variety of genres and venues — though by no means all. After each, where possible, we provide a list of acts in the same vein. On with the shows!

Manual Cinema: Ada/Ava

Wednesday, February 21, 7:30 p.m., Flynn MainStage, $15-38.

Imagine a Hitchcock film presented live, complete with cinematic tricks such as rack focus. Impossible? Now imagine it presented with shadow puppets, some of which are actually human.

“Live cinema” is the phrase that Chicago-based troupe Manual Cinema uses to describe its unique productions. It creates them using overhead projectors, paper cutouts, transparencies and agile actor/puppeteers, who sometimes step in to replace their 2D counterparts on the screen.

In Ada/Ava, an eerie meditation on death and duality, live musicians accompany the otherwise wordless tale of a septuagenarian mourning the twin with whom she spent her life.

A search for wholeness drives her from her lighthouse home into a carnival’s hall of mirrors, putting the performers’ skills on impressive display.

And not just their skills: In the theatrical equivalent of an open kitchen, the performers manipulate their materials in full view of the audience. In the words of the Los Angeles Times, Manual Cinema gives the audience “not one but two sights to gawk at: the process and the product.” The show transforms its audience, suggests the New York Times, into children mesmerized by a parent’s shadow play; the awareness of illusion “only strengthens the reality of the alternative world that these clever, powerful grown-ups have created for our delight.”

Every four years, 30 pianists ages 18 to 30 vie for a medal at the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition in Fort Worth, Texas. There are other ways for young pianists to launch a career, notes University of Vermont Lane Series director Natalie Neuert, but the Cliburn’s cachet and three-year tourmanagement package for winners can’t be beat.

For example, this year’s gold medalist, 28-year-old Yekwon Sunwoo of South Korea, will perform in 55 venues around the globe in the first year alone. One of his stops is the UVM Recital Hall, where the Lane Series has been hosting the medal winners since 1993.

Sunwoo arrives in February. Neuert has scheduled the pianists in ascending order, “building up to the gold. Not that audiences will like the gold winner best,” she adds. “The bronze medalist is going to be really endearing.” She’s referring to Californian Daniel Hsu, who was just 19 during the competition.

Kenneth Broberg, a Minnesotan, won the silver at age 23.

That’s the age Harvey Lavan “Van” Cliburn Jr. (1934-2013) was when he won the inaugural Tchaikovsky International Piano Competition in Moscow in 1958, inspiring supporters to found a stateside competition in his honor in 1962. Cliburn did little touring himself; instead, he left a way for audiences to hear some of the world’s finest young pianists.

Compagnie Hervé Koubi: Ce Que le Jour Doit à la Nuit Sunday, October 8, 7 p.m., Flynn MainStage, $15-48.

Mingling performance and story, Compagnie Hervé Koubi explores the choreographer’s Algerian roots through the lens of Yasmina Khadra’s 2010 novel, Ce Que le Jour Doit à la Nuit (What the Day Owes to the Night).

Khadra is the pen name of Algerian army officer and author Mohammed Moulessehoul, who took the moniker to avoid military censorship. The story

examines the life of Younes, a Muslim Algerian boy whose life is upended at the onset of the Algerian War (19541962) for independence from France.

Koubi explains the motivation behind his work on the dance company’s website: “I would like to give life to my dreams as a child born in France … who discovered belatedly his true origins and those of his parents, Algerians from birth.”

The score of the show is as complex as Algeria’s history. Traditional Sufi music intertwines with Western compositions by Johann Sebastian Bach and San Francisco’s Kronos Quartet, among

others. The 17 male dancers, from Algeria and Burkina Faso, whirl through a global vocabulary of movement derived from capoeira, martial arts, hiphop and contemporary dance. Though the piece is based on a narrative, the spectacle is physical. As the Washington Post described it in a 2013 review of the company’s American debut, the performance is “a stunning fusion of acrobatics, gymnastics, b-boying, modern dance and ballet.”

Adrienne Truscott: “Asking for It: A One-Lady Rape About Comedy Starring Her Pussy and Little Else!”

Thursday and Friday, November 2 and 3, 8 p.m., FlynnSpace, $25.

In comedy, no subject is so sacred, no topic too taboo, as to spare a comedian from targeting it with a well-crafted bit, story or one-liner. Indeed, many of the world’s greatest comics, from Joan Rivers to Bill Hicks to Dave Chappelle, have made careers out of poking and prodding the most delicate sensibilities of their audiences. Nothing is off-limits — at least, that’s the ideal.

In reality, some topics are too sensitive, emotional or dark for the majority of comics to handle effectively. Chief among these subjects might be rape.

With good reason, sexual assault is just about the most inflammatory, and perilous, subject in comedy. (Just ask Daniel Tosh how his last rape joke went.) But New York comedian, dancer and choreographer Adrienne Truscott didn’t just write a rape joke — she wrote an entire show about it. And it’s unlike anything else in comedy.

“Asking for It: A One-Lady Rape About Comedy Starring Her Pussy and Little Else!” has been hailed by critics worldwide for its unflinching, daring, creative — and, yes, funny — commentary on rape and rape culture.

Following Truscott’s award-winning run at the 2013 Edinburgh Fringe Festival, the UK’s Guardian said she performs with “firecracker wit, sophistication and luminous humanity.”

Added Edinburgh website the List, “Pantless and breathless, Truscott bares her body and soul in an event that straddles the gap between performance art and comedy show.”

Given the subject matter and nudity, Truscott’s multimedia performance is not for the faint of heart.

But it might also be the most important comedy show you’ll ever see. Or, as the Scotsman put it, “Brutal, brilliant and brave … this is without a doubt the most powerful hour of comedy.”

American radicalism and bomb building, enactments of method-acting processes, and performances from Bertolt Brecht’s adaptation of Antigone. The accompanying score is played on analog synthesizers and everyday objects.

In the arts blog Hyperallergic, Sarah Rose Sharp calls The Radicalization Process “an absolutely original and radical performance.” More significantly, she pinpoints Hinterlands’ stake in envisioning the future, distilled in the production’s oft-repeated line: “The only war that matters is the war against the imagination; all other wars are subsumed in it.”

Semer Ensemble: Rescued Treasure

Monday, November 13, 7:30 p.m., with preshow artists’ talk, 6:30 p.m., Lane Series at UVM Recital Hall, $5-30.

In 1932, a Lithuanian bookstore owner in Berlin named Hirsch Lewin founded a record label for Jewish musicians, whom the Nazis had banned from performing in non-Jewish venues. He made hundreds of recordings under the label Semer. But during 1938’s Kristallnacht, Lewin was arrested, his store raided and his records destroyed. Semer was forgotten for 60 years.

Then, in 1992, musicologist Rainer Lotz began traveling the world to track down those old records; miraculously, he recovered nearly the entire catalog. In 2012, the Berlin Jewish Museum commissioned musician Alan Bern to re-create the archival recordings, and the Semer Ensemble was born.

The all-star international octet performs Rescued Treasure — what Bern describes as a “last portrait of what Jewish artists were doing in the 1930s,” including klezmer, cabaret, cantorial music and folk. Some songs drip with Jewish humor; others are haunting.

Hearing these Yiddish, Hebrew and German tunes, accompanied by violin, piano and accordion, feels like opening a musical time capsule — an experience made more poignant by learning that most of the original artists perished in Nazi death camps. In an age of ascendant fascism, Semer Ensemble’s music and stories couldn’t be timelier.

We have come into being to praise, to labor and to love.

Northern Stage: Only Yesterday

Wednesday, January 31, through Sunday, February 18, various times, Barrette Center for the Arts, $20-59.

Now is probably not the time to point out the silver lining of a hurricane. But if it weren’t for hurricanes, we wouldn’t have the Beatles.

Well, maybe not exactly, but Paul McCartney and John Lennon did share a memorable night during such a storm, and that’s the premise of the world premiere of Only Yesterday by Bob Stevens at Northern Stage.

Early in their careers, McCartney and Lennon found themselves stranded in a Key West, Fla., hotel room, having been rerouted due to said hurricane. They did what many twentysomethings would do in that situation: They got drunk and rode out the storm, staying up late and bonding over shared experiences — including the deaths of their mothers.

McCartney included the impactful night in a poem written for Lennon after his death, according to a 2001 “Fresh Air” interview with Terry Gross: “What about

Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real

Sunday, November 19, 7 p.m., Paramount Theatre, $22.50.

Lukas Nelson could have chosen any number of career paths. Yet he decided to follow dear ol’ dad into the family business: world-traveling music star. Being the offspring of the legendary Willie Nelson doesn’t necessarily preordain one for a similar life, but the vocation seems to suit both father and son.

With his backing band, Promise of the Real, Lukas Nelson has carved out an ascendant career in his own right. The group’s new self-titled album features a dozen originals that suggest he’s doing more than simply walking in the outsize footsteps of the Red Headed Stranger. Writes the Washington Post, “He is the real deal and deserves to be treated seriously, independent of his father’s legacy.”

That’s true even if vocal similarities make such comparisons hard to avoid. But the younger Nelson owes nearly as much to Kris Kristofferson,

the night we cried / because there wasn’t any reason / left to keep it all inside?”

Hearing that National Public Radio interview inspired Stevens’ play, which is a fictional imagining of that night. According to Northern Stage artistic director Carol Dunne, who directs Only Yesterday, Stevens is “obsessed with the Beatles.”

The playwright is best known for his work on TV series “Yes, Dear” and “The Wonder Years.” It seems he’s made a career out of nostalgia, and Only Yesterday is no exception. The play serves as a reminder that plans disrupted, and close quarters, can often lead to cherished memories. Who knows?

Perhaps that fateful night even pushed McCartney and Lennon to alter the trajectory of pop music for years to come.

Waylon Jennings and Glen Campbell.

And that’s to say nothing of the imprint left by his friend and mentor Neil Young.

While Nelson’s new album bears whispers of the past, it’s also distinctly modern. Members of the indie-pop band Lucius drop in on backing vocals, as does pop superstar Lady Gaga. But Nelson isn’t abandoning family ties: On “Just Outside of Austin,” dad shows up for a guitar solo, backed by 86-year-old aunt Bobbi on piano.

Chew on this: Roomful of Teeth reveal the remarkable range of the human voice, through Broadway belting and death metal, Tuvan throat singing and yodeling.

There will be reason to smile when this Grammywinning vocal octet arrives to warm up Dartmouth College’s Hopkins Center on a January evening.

“Our music is aimed at connecting with audiences,” writes Roomful of Teeth artistic director Brad Wells, who founded the project in 2009, in an email. “It’s vocal

music that sometimes has lyrics, sometimes not. It’s new music that sometimes sounds old or otherworldly, sometimes bracingly energetic, sometimes serene or dreamy.”

When Roomful of Teeth brings its repertoire to Dartmouth, Armenian jazz pianist Tigran Hamasyan joins the octet for not only a New Hampshire debut but a world premiere of a new piece co-commissioned by the Hop. Roomful member Caroline Shaw’s “Partita for 8 Voices,” which won the Pulitzer Prize for Music in 2013, is also on the program. Next stop on the tour after this show: New York City’s Carnegie Hall.

Brushing up on the power of song with Roomful of Teeth? Four out of five concertgoers recommend it.

Moody Amiri

Saturday, March 10, 8 p.m., Mahaney Center for the Arts, Middlebury College, $6-22.

Drawing on both ancient and modern musical traditions, Canadian-Iranian duo Moody Amiri create affecting and evocative string-based compositions.

Violist Richard Moody and santur player Amir Amiri generate a trans-hemispheric aesthetic that’s rooted in ruminative neoclassical craftsmanship.

The santur is a member of the hammered dulcimer family and is a foundational part of classical Persian music. Amiri is a lifelong student of the instrument and, since moving to Canada in the mid-1990s, has sought ways to broaden his understanding of the language of global rhythms. In addition to Moody Amiri, he plays with Ensemble Kamaan, a trio that fuses the historical and cultural sounds of its home region, and Sohbat, a duo with sitar player Anwar Khurshid.

When not performing alongside Amiri, Moody lends his bow skills to a host of pan-genre projects, including acoustic folk band the Bills and the symphonic Manitoba Chamber Orchestra.

He’s also lent his talents to his sister Ruth Moody’s Americana band the Wailin’ Jennys.

Moody Amiri’s debut album is aptly named. Safar, which roughly translates to “a trip,” takes the listener on a culturally complex journey. Along with original compositions, it includes a rendition of French composer Maurice Ravel’s best-known work, Boléro.

Broadway stalwart Cabaret is one of the last shows in the Flynn’s 2017-18 season. But it’s a safe bet this musical set in 1931 Germany, during the rise of Nazism, will still feel quite timely given current retrograde trends in the U.S. Besides, the show — based on a novel by Christopher Isherwood — hasn’t waned in popularity, through good times and bad, since its first performance in 1966. “Leaving your troubles outside” for an evening while the world burns always has appeal. So does some of the best music and dance in show biz.

New York’s Roundabout Theatre chose to produce Cabaret as part of its own 50th anniversary celebrations. Under the direction of stage and screen legends Sam Mendes (American Beauty, Skyfall) and Rob Marshall (film versions of Into the Woods, Chicago), the production earned a Tony for Best Musical Revival. The seasoned touring company will take Vermont theatergoers into the delightfully seedy Kit Kat Klub, where the gender-bending emcee will mock everything with a leer and singer Sally Bowles will remind us that “life is a cabaret, old chum.”

Long before the suffragette movement in the UK and the women’s rights convention in Seneca Falls, N.Y., there was Gulayim, a young female warrior from the steppes of Central Asia.

She epitomized female courage and empowerment when she led a group of 40 other women to defend their land from Kalmyk and Persian invaders. The women went on to establish a rule of law based on justice and compassion.

The ancient Central Asian “girl power” tale has been reimagined by two of Uzbekistan’s most celebrated contemporary artists: filmmaker Saodat Ismailova and composer Dmitri Yanov-Yanovsky. Against projected images of the Karakalpak steppes, a group of women tells the story of Qyrq Qyz (pronounced “kerr-keys”) via a multimedia performance of recitation, songs and traditional music.

Like other oral epic poetry from the region, Qyrq Qyz interweaves elements of myth, legend, history and geography. But it has one distinctive feature, said Margaret Lawrence, director of programming at the Hopkins Center: Its main heroes are female. Describing Ismailova as “the star of Central Asia,” Lawrence said it was the Tashkent-born filmmaker’s vision to tell the story of Qyrq Qyz through live music.

SD: Riiight…

NB: Honestly, the documentary is not funny enough for our tastes. We’re glad it’s gotten us more publicity, though. It’s kind of like Forrest Gump: It’s gotten a lot of publicity; it’s just not very funny.

SD: Why do you think that is?

T

oward the end of Asperger’s Are Us, the Netflix documentary about the sketch comedy troupe of the same name, AAU cofounder New Michael Ingemi tells the camera his hope for his future Wikipedia page.

“I can imagine the opening paragraph,” says Ingemi, who changed his name to New Michael to distinguish himself from his father, “old” Michael. “Maybe it would say, ‘New Michael the comedian.’ Maybe someday it would also say, ‘New Michael the entrepreneur, comedian, writer, director.’ Who knows?” He continues, “Then maybe the last sentence would say something like, ‘and also was diagnosed with Asperger syndrome.’”

AAU is the world’s first — and likely still only — comedy group composed of comedians on the autism spectrum. The documentary, produced by brothers Jay and Mark Duplass, chronicles the quartet’s preparation for one final, ambitious show before an extended hiatus.

As it examines the group’s interpersonal dynamics and sometimes strained relationships with members’ families, the film is by turns touching and funny — though perhaps not quite the laugh riot the absurdist sketch troupe might wish. Still, the 82-minute doc is at least as interesting, enlightening and entertaining as anything else you’ll find on Netflix this year.

After reams of positive publicity following the film’s 2016 release, AAU is back together and touring more extensively than ever. It performs on Sunday, September 17, at the Vermont Comedy Club in Burlington. Seven Days recently spoke with AAU’s Noah Britton and Jack Hanke by phone from Boston — Ingemi and Ethan

Finlan were also present, tossing out one-liners in the background. Fair warning: It got wacky.

SEVEN DAYS: Hey, how’s it going?

JACK HANKE: Not so good. I was just in a drag race with this guy.

SD: OK … so I take it you lost?

JH: Yeah. But the other guy crashed into a concrete wall. So, in the big picture, I guess I won.

I WROTE, LIKE, 20 TWEETS LAST NIGHT

BLAMING HIM FOR GETTING US INTO THE BARBARY WARS. NO AH BR IT TO N

SD: What was the other guy driving?

JH: He was going pretty fast, so I didn’t get a good look. It was kind of like a blind-date drag-racing sort of thing. Come to think of it, maybe he was blind.

SD: Switching gears, so to speak, what was it like watching the documentary and seeing your lives on screen? Was it surreal?

JH: Uh, no. Mr. Real was not knighted. Oddly, though, Mr. Real has been diagnosed with Asperger’s, and his life is pretty similar to ours. We are the only autistic

SD: Uh, I was actually talking about the doc. It’s certainly helped your careers.

NB: Yeah. We have larger crowds now, and we can tour other places, like Europe.

SD: How has your comedy evolved since the doc was filmed?

NB: We’ve gotten worse.

SD: You know people are gonna read this, right?

JH: We’ve gotten better!

NB: Seriously, I do think we’ve gotten better. One thing the documentary has been good for is realizing how people perceive us, which you never know until you see it from their perspective. So, we’re a lot more careful about stuff that might seem like it has a message or is a parody, when in reality almost none of our material does. It’s just silly, and you shouldn’t overthink it.

SD: Do you feel any added pressure with the increased attention?

NB: Not so much — though the touring schedule is tough, for sure. We’ve done nothing but think about driving, sleeping and doing press for the last 10 weeks.

And our laundry, shaving, going to the toilet — these things are now luxuries.

SD: That does sound stressful.

NB: Really, we blame Alex [Lehmann], the director, for creating all of this extra work for us.

SD: That’s a good problem to have, though. I’m sure a lot of comedians would love to be working that much.

NB: There’s a cliché that it beats coal mining. And because of that we started a coal-mining troupe, Coal Miners Are Us, that just does coal miner-based humor.

But they lost their jobs just like all of the other coal miners.

SD: Did Coal Miners Are Us vote for Donald Trump, since he promised to bring back all the coal-mining jobs?

NB: No, we don’t vote. That’s East Coast elitist stuff.

We’re just here to tell some jokes. And coal miners are all too young to vote, anyway.

SD: Shit. Did Trump roll back child-labor laws, too?

NB: Did you know there is a little-known provision in the [U.S.] Constitution that sets an age limit on voting? It’s 100,000. If you’re 100,000, you are too old to vote.

SD: I did not.

NB: Nicolas Cage discovered it on the back of the Constitution in National Treasure.

SD: Just so I’m clear, the people on your shit list are Steven Spielberg, Tom Hanks and Nic Cage?

NB: Oh, I don’t hate him. People say I look like him, but I don’t blame him for that. I blame everyone else.

JH: Also, Ed Sheeran, because of his piracy and bad behavior on the high seas.

NB: Yeah, we’re starting a rumor that Ed Sheeran is a 19th-century pirate. So please spread this as much as possible. I wrote, like, 20 tweets last night blaming him for getting us into the Barbary Wars.

SD: I’ll make that my headline.

JH: We’d appreciate it. People need to know this. A lot of people just admire him for his sea shanties and don’t realize that the only admirable thing about him is that he can be so successful, despite only having a hook for a hand.

NB: And a peg for a leg. And a parrot that’s on his shoulder yelling all the time while he sings. Say, when does the interview start? m Contact: dan@sevendaysvt.com

ait a minute,” I said to my dining companion, pointing out a cocktail dubbed the Cigar Club.

“This drink is made of tequila, rum, vermouth and Scotch? That’s crazy!”

“Well, then, we have to order it,” she suggested. Because if the barkeep could pull off that bold blend of booze, he just might be a superhero.

We were in the dining room at the Great Northern, a 4-month-old restaurant on Pine Street in Burlington — the city’s hottest hood for eating establishments and food manufacturers alike. Nearby, a couple appeared to be falling in love over their meal, kissing between bites. A gaggle of friends laughed while slurping raw oysters from

their shells. The place was beginning to empty out from the dinner rush.

A glass arrived, its contents glowing like a ruby in the candlelight. I took a sip.

It immediately made me think of sitting by a campfire on a chilly night. The hint of oak from the aged tequila, in concert with the smoky, peaty Ardbeg Scotch, contributed to its silky perfection.

This instinct for melding bold flavors is a hallmark of the Great Northern’s food as well as its drinks. At its best, the ambitious spot — which is open during every mealtime except Sunday dinner — offers brilliant and surprising matchups.

When dishes fall flat, which some do, they are still of high quality and are interesting to eat.

a casual lunch with my food-loving siblings, offered a mixed bag. Some minor issues collectively impacted the overall experience: a wedge of iceberg lettuce with a cake of damp dirt clinging to the top leaf; a mix-up with the dessert menu, leading us to order an item that was no longer available; a really long wait for those desserts, during which the ice cream partially melted and skidded across the plate.

Still, the lunch began beautifully with a couple of East Coast oysters for each of us and a pretty rhubarb mignonette on the side. Then came a dish of scallops and uni with a slick of soy in the bowl and bits of scallion and seaweed dotting

creamy dressing slathered across the crunchiest of lettuces, punctuated with bites of sweet and salty garnishes. It’s retro enough to feel a little bit naughty to a locavore devotee, even when the lettuce is from Pitchfork Farm in the Burlington Intervale.

The Great Northern’s concept was a bit muddied (and not just because the lettuce needed another rinse). Scattered around the wedge of iceberg were field greens and pea shoots, plus pickled cabbage, carrots, beets and cauliflower, but not enough dressing. The fried onion rings perched atop, as well as twin slabs of pork belly on the sides, couldn’t easily be distributed among the bites without lots of knife work. So, we ate the onion rings before they got cold, forked up the wholesome greens and pickles, and finished up with hunks of smoky belly.

Tres Amigos chef PAUL MORAN was opening chef at the Bench and also worked with Frier and Fry at the Reservoir. MEG MAHER, who started as a server at the Reservoir, is the new restaurant’s general manager.

At Tres Amigos, Frier and Fry will run both the restaurant and the music venue, a Stowe institution. The Rusty Nail, with a stage and 300-person capacity, is expected to reopen Halloween weekend, said Frier.

In recent years, several Mexican restaurants have closed in Stowe, including Cactus Café, Frida’s Taqueria and Grill, and Bender’s Burritos. Tres Amigos opens daily at 4 p.m. m

COURTESY OF TRES AMIGOS

The new MORRISVILLE FOOD CO-OP will open by the end of September and possibly as early as this weekend, said communications director ELIZABETH CASPARIAN. Known as MoCo, the memberowned co-op at 46 Pleasant Street occupies a 3,000-square-foot space in the center of town. Its location will offer residents without cars easier access to local produce, grocery staples, olive oil, pet food, cleaning supplies and more, said Casparian. She spoke by telephone with Seven Days, taking a break from stocking co-op shelves.

“It’s a relative food desert for people who do not have cars and live in the town of Morrisville,” Casparian said.

“When we started having conversations about what would be a good thing to have here, a food co-op was one of the highest items on the list.”

MoCo is a natural foods store focused on working with local producers and vendors. When the co-op opens, it will carry products from about 150 local farmers, cheesemakers, sugarmakers and others.

“That number will continue to grow,” Casparian added.

MoCo has a kitchen and a café and will offer a selection of prepared foods including coffee, pastries, soups, and grab-and-go foods. Casparian expects these aspects of the store to expand over time, too.

Mexican food returned to Stowe with the September 8 opening of TRES AMIGOS at the Rusty Nail Stage at 1190 Mountain Road.

The restaurant is the third eatery owned by business partners MARK FRIER and CHAD FRY, who also own the RESERVOIR RESTAURANT & TAPROOM in Waterbury and the BENCH in Stowe.

Tres Amigos offers a full variety of Mexican fare, including tacos ($4 to $5) and appetizers such as empanadas, ceviche tostados and nachos ($8 to $12). Entrées include a half chicken with hibiscus glaze served with Swiss chard, goat cheese and blue corn bread ($16); and New York strip steak with ancho coffee rub, lime butter, sweet potato puree, peppers and onions ($20).

At the bar, the 24-tap beer selection features primarily local brews. The tequila menu is extensive and varied, with two-ounce pours in flavors ranging from spicy to fruity, woody to sweet.

Ambition in the Kitchen Individually, all of the items tasted good, but the dish wasn’t cohesive.

I felt similarly about the pressed chicken, which was perfectly cooked and had crispy, brown skin. The meat came with preserved veggies — pickled daikon and carrot, kimchi and pressed cucumber. All were pleasant, and the variety reminded me of my meals at Korean barbecue restaurants, at which a sampling of condiments is a key component.

The starches on that plate were plain white rice, glaze-sticky roasted beets and wedges of scallion pancake, which was a rather dry flatbread with few scallions. My brother, who used to live in South Korea, said that the versions he’d eaten in Asia were a bit more tender and definitely contained more scallion. The chicken and all of the pickles were good, but the rice was ordinary, the pancake disappointing.

The best luncheon dish was the perfect capicola sandwich. The smoky, salty house-cured meat was piled on a delicious Italian-style roll with mozzarella, pepperoncini and aioli.

Every bite left me wanting more. Given co-owner Frank Pace’s background in butchery, it came as no surprise that his cured ham was delicious.

At dinner a few weeks later, I ordered a parade of small plates in order to experience as many tastes and textures as possible. The decision proved a good one.

Tender baby octopus was grilled and served with miso-roasted fennel and cooling mint aioli. Hamachi crudo was topped with slender rings of hot pepper, a sliver of cucumber, scallion and husk cherries and served with a spicy, tangy soy dip. Squash blossoms were dunked in tempura batter and fried, then drizzled with honey and apple-cider vinegar.

A perfectly roasted quail came atop cabbage flavored with honey and peanut; the cabbage could have used a bit more salt and vinegar to perk it up. Forty-hour braised beef was tender and delightfully fatty and arrived with pickled green tomato and a mustard-and-horseradish aioli, served over a crisp hash brown.

The only dinner dish I didn’t love was the aged-rabbit ramen. Having made ramen entirely from scratch, I know how much it takes to pull the noodle soup together and don’t take that work for granted. In this case, though, I found

the broth a little too acidic and not fatty enough (rabbit is inherently lean), and the noodles had passed the point of ideal chewiness. The topping of pickles didn’t provide balance because they were also acidic.

The meal’s final course was much better. A pair of desserts — panna cotta with shiso-plum compote, and bourbonalmond cake with a smear of lavenderscented blueberries and delicate basil crème anglaise — was lovely. An espresso for my friend and a cup of Taiwanese Ruby No. 18 black tea for me put a nice cap on the evening.

Overall, every seafood dish I had at the Great Northern was excellent, and the meats were all exquisitely cooked, whether braised to tender perfection or left a warm medium-rare in the center.

Lovers of fermented foods will be pleased with the number of vinegar and brine-kissed garnishes.

The Great Northern’s greatest strength is its bold approach to local cuisine, marrying flavors from various parts of the globe with Vermont ingredients. Some of the complex dishes still need a little tinkering to make their individual components play well together.

Before spending five years as owner of and cook for my own farm-to-table restaurant, I was a harsher restaurant critic. I hewed to the capitalist-American belief that if I spent my money at an establishment, I deserved an experience somewhere between delight and bliss.

Now I believe that critics — professional or casual — should make an effort to understand the vagaries of the business.

Running a restaurant is an incredibly taxing endeavor. When a new eatery serves breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner right out of the gate, it requires making a massive investment in staff and training and maintaining a broad inventory of ingredients. It also means that the head chef can’t possibly be present for every plating. Thus, other people must be trained to execute his or her vision, and finding seasoned kitchen help is notoriously difficult.

The Great Northern’s offerings are ambitious, and most of them work. Over time, as the staff grows in confidence and experience, I expect all the dishes will get better and better. And I can’t wait for my next sip of that smoky, silky Cigar Club cocktail. m Contact: suzanne@sevendaysvt.com

he visitors have thinned out at the Bread and Puppet museum-in-a-barn in Glover, and the grass amphitheater is empty. Four pails of flowers, the blooms dry and faded at summer’s end, stand sentinel on the counter of the Bread House. Its shelves, all but bare, hold a bird’s nest with a sole feather inside.

At his nearby farmhouse, Peter Schumann is baking bread. Schumann, who founded Bread and Puppet Theater 54 years ago, works alone in his open-air baking shed while this reporter watches.

A steady rain drums on the metal roof.

From a big stainless-steel bowl, he scoops a hunk of rye dough, kneads it and shapes it into a loaf. He repeats the process again and again, as if working in time to the falling water.

“That’s the sound system that we call rain,” says Schumann, 83. “It’s a very nice sound system.”

Aprons, garden clippers and a hacksaw hang from a beam. Bathtubs by the bread oven hold mud for making puppets. A laminated poster with Schumann’s artwork lies on the wet ground, having fallen from the woodpile.

Its words and image — stalks of grain bent in the wind — speak to his life’s work: “We give you a piece of bread with the puppet show because our bread and theater belong together.”

Schumann has been baking sourdough rye bread for 77 years, since his childhood in Germany. He made it as a little boy with his mother and as a 10-year-old refugee of the war.

“Bread was a thing the family took seriously,” Schumann says. “It was the most desired object, to have enough for family and friends.”

The bread is made with rye flour, salt and water — and, lately, rye berries — to form a coarse and crusty loaf that requires effort to eat.

“It’s a thing that reveals itself only when you work at it,” Schumann says.

“When your teeth do their job.”

In 1963, when Schumann founded his theater in New York City, the joining of bread and puppet was both obvious and necessary, he says.

“The two of them had to be married; they were very much engaged,” he explains. “We fed bread to the public so they were chewing when they were watching the show. We thought they were a better audience.”

If Schumann’s bread takes work to digest, the same might be said of his theater: “It’s not so good for the lazy mind who wants to be tickled or entertained,” he says. “Probably not so interesting.”

A Vermont Treasure Bread and Puppet’s Peter Schumann remembers his childhood rye

BY S AL LY P O L L AK

Schumann and his family moved to Plainfield in 1970, when he accepted an invitation to be a theater resident at Goddard College. He ran Bread and Puppet there for four years before moving with his wife, Elka, and their five children to a former dairy farm in Glover.

“Slowly and surely, the theater came,” Schumann says, adding that his kids “were all puppeteers ’til it came out of their mouths.”

Bread and Puppet grew into an influential and innovative theater company — making spectacular, larger-than-life papier-mâché puppets; touting “cheap art”; and performing its brand of good-humored yet politically acute puppet theater in the Northeast Kingdom and beyond. At the annual Domestic Resurrection Circus, which drew big summer crowds to Glover through 1998, puppeteers sang and

danced — and gave away rye bread with garlic-parsley aioli to thousands upon thousands of people.

“We baked relentlessly,” Schumann says. “We baked and baked and baked.”

A photograph of him baking bread, recently posted on Facebook, elicited comments such as “food for the soul” and “keep my heart full even when my spirits sour.” A local musician remembered it as the first free bread he ever ate. Hotel Vermont chef Doug Paine remembered attending Bread and Puppet shows as a young teen. Schumann’s rye bread and aioli is one of his “early great food memories,” Paine wrote. He called it a “Vermont treasure.”

After shaping his loaves, Schumann places them on a board and loads them into an oven he made from river mud — the same mud the company uses to make molds for the puppets. When 30 or so loaves are in the oven (Schumann doesn’t count them or measure temperature), he drapes a wet towel over the door to seal in the heat.

Schumann then dons a battered leather jacket over his apron, steps into the rain and leads his visitor into a common room at the farmhouse. The large, sparsely furnished space holds two pianos and a mill for grinding his farm-grown rye into flour.

On a post in the middle of the room hangs a calendar that Schumann made, its pages open to September 2017. The date of the full moon is marked, and so is Yom Kippur. Blocky, black letters printed across the calendar form the word “BACKWARD.” Sitting in a chair by his calendar, Schumann looks back on his bread.

He was a boy of 6 when he started helping his mother, Margarethe Schumann, bake sourdough rye — the “common people’s bread,” he says.

White bread was reserved for special occasions and eaten like cake, he notes.

Schumann and his four siblings lived with their parents in the Silesia region of Germany (now Poland) in the town of Breslau. His father, Hans Schumann, taught literature and history and wrote texts on “pedagogical problem-solving.”

He was interested in radical, modern school systems, Schumann explains.

In 1944, when Schumann was 10, his family fled their hometown to escape Allied bombing and Russian tanks. Each child was allowed to bring a bag on the journey to a village by the Danish border.

Schumann packed his with woodenheaded hand puppets, he says.

About 100 refugees lived in the village. They gleaned grain from fields planted in rye, barley and wheat.

FOOD 53

Hedgerows protected the crops from the wind, he remembers. Schumann and his siblings threshed rye and ground it in a coffee mill. Families kneaded dough and shaped it into loaves at their homes.

Once a week, they carried their loaves on a board to a communal oven for baking. Each family marked its bread with an imprint, an identifying symbol, to distinguish their loaves from the others’. Trees were too valuable to burn in the bread oven, so wood cuttings from the hedgerows fueled the fire. The Schumanns would spread their bread with jam made from elderberries and rose hips that the children picked from the roadside.

“Especially for those of us who were war victims, everything had to be made for yourself,” Schumann says. “We lived there on the farm as refugees, gleaning the fields and working on the farms.”

A regiment of German soldiers lived in the village, too. When Schumann was 11, he and his younger brother, Michael, went to the soldiers’ tents with their hand puppets and made a puppet show for the men. It was his first public performance. He had basic puppet

characters — a princess, a robber, a cop and a ghost — but no bread to give away.

“The bread was too precious,” Schumann says.

Decades later, after he had moved to New York City with his American wife and their two oldest children, Schumann thought people were deprived because the white or wheat bread they ate was of inferior quality.

“In the glass palaces of New York City,” he says, “they didn’t know what bread was.”

Bread and Puppet will present one more show in Glover this season, “Political Leaf-Peeping,” on Sunday, September 24.

Schumann says he’ll continue to make puppet shows for as long as he can.

“They might make it illegal,” he warns, referring to the current administration. “It might become illegal to do puppet shows, based on what’s happening in the United States as it becomes more fascist.”

Schumann will also, of course, continue to bake bread and give it away.

Maintaining that practice over a lifetime “feels very good,” he says.

“You still have to improve it,” Schumann advises. “There’s still stuff that you’re fussing with, always to improve it. It’s continuously changing.

It’s never quite done.”

Although Schumann’s rye bread belongs to everyone and to no one, he still marks each loaf before baking it. He uses a tin stencil made by a friend and shaped like the shining sun. m

According to the bio on Baratunde Thurston’s website, the author and comedian “has an uncanny ability to crack the shell of any uncomfortable topic through a personal, accessible and intelligent point of view.”

The title of said bio — “Long Bio for Those Planning to Create a Moving, Nuanced and Compassionate Ode to Baratunde’s Life Whilst Tiny Children Sing Hymns in the Background” — suggests that the former digital director for the Onion does so with a trenchant sense of humor.

The activist makes his Vermont speaking debut at Johnson State College as part of a semester-long series of diversityfocused events centered on Thurston’s 2012 satirical memoir How to Be Black.

T

ank and the Bangas are having a banner year. Just days into 2017, the eclectic New Orleans band won National Public Radio’s Tiny Desk Contest and landed an appearance in the ongoing Tiny Desk Concert series. The group was already well known in its hometown; the win catapulted the Crescent City 10-piece to international acclaim.

At the group’s center is front woman Tarriona “Tank” Ball, a former slam poet.

Her elegiac tendencies are prominent on the band’s debut 2013 album, Think Tank. Tracks such as “Rollercoasters” and “Human” are sweeping, largely spoken-word musings set to lite-funk and R&B backdrops.

But that’s just one shade of TatB’s expansive sound. They drop lightningspeed hip-hop (“Quick”), hard-rockinfused soul jams (“Rhythm of Life”), and cuts that sound like they were lifted from Broadway. To wit: Ball and her right-hand woman Anjelika “Jelly” Joseph come off like Nell Carter and Armelia McQueen on recent cut “Drummers.” The frisky ditty sounds like an outtake from the Fats Waller musical Ain’t Misbehavin’.

Tank and the Bangas pull influences from across the pop spectrum, and Ball connects the dots with her frank and loving outlook. On “Human,” a corporeal slow jam, she says, “You were born with 300 bones. When you get to be an adult, you have 206. Grow up. Grow out of things. When something doesn’t belong, even our bodies know when it’s time for it to be replaced. You gotta get over it.

You have to continue to live.”

The band performs on Saturday, September 16, at Waterfront Park in Burlington as part of the Grand Point North music festival.

Seven Days caught up with Ball by phone.

SEVEN DAYS: I thought your “What’s Underneath” video for StyleLikeU, in which you spoke candidly about your struggle with body issues while stripping, was one of the most beautiful things I’ve seen this year.

What was the reaction like from your friends, family and fans?

TARRIONA BALL: [People] were just really proud of me. Every time I meet a fan, they whisper to me, “I saw your ‘What’s Underneath.’” They say it

quietly, because I took off my clothes.

It’s so funny, because the whole world has seen it.

It was a beautiful experience. The ladies of “What’s Underneath” are so awesome and so body positive. They make you really sure of yourself.

SD: What were you thinking and feeling after that shoot?

TB: One part was, I can’t believe I just did that. The other part was, I was just excited for it to come out so I could really see how I look and how I talk — and how I look in my bra and panties on camera. You get excited to touch and enrich people.

SD: In what ways is being a slam poet different from being in a band?

TB: The difference is that the slam world is much more serious. Even when you’re doing a joking poem, you’re always trying to have a point. You literally get off stage and somebody holds up a scoreboard judging your performance. And you only have three minutes and 10 seconds to express things.

I just feel like I have much more freedom now, and much more time to [say] what I feel is in my heart. And, because I was already judged previously, I don’t care too much about someone judging me now. Me and my [slam] team took ourselves quite seriously, so it’s fun to not.

SD: What can you tell me about the process of writing the song “Drummers”?

TB: [I was] in London, just sitting down wanting to write something funny. A lot of people think that [the song] is personal, but it’s not. It’s a silly song.

And I really like that. There’s a lot of words to it that people don’t even know … I’ve never put [them] out yet. We’ll put it out later on.

In the music world that I’m in, a lot of people say, “Don’t date a musician,” [because] they stay on the road. If you’re away from them, you find it hard to trust your mate. So the song is, like, just pointing out one [musician] in particular: the drummer. “Never trust a drummer / Because the beat keeps going on.”

SD: There’s a really theatrical quality to that song. Do you have any experience with musical theater?

TB: No, I have none. That’s not really a thing I’m into, even though people assume that I am.

SD: Improvisation is a big component of Tank and the Bangas. Are there any particular songs that are the most flexible?

TB: It may be “Rollercoasters,” only because I may not say the same thing every time. Sometimes it’s different. You can play with [that] song a little bit. And “[The] Brady’s” — at the end you never know what way it’s gonna go.

SD: When you find yourself in that kind of open-ended situation, how do you know when it’s time to wrap it up?

TB: When the band signals for it to end.

SD: Ha! TB: They’re like, “All right, we’ve been here for a couple of years now. Time to end this song. Wrap it on up!” Or, our manager literally comes on the side of the stage and says, “You’ve got three minutes left.”

SD: Who are some contemporary poets you admire?

TB: Joshua Bennett, [Sha’condria] iCon [Sibley and] G Yamazawa.

SD: Do they have a common element that speaks to you, or do you like them for different reasons?

mean, FEVER DOLLS. That’s right, the band formerly known as Iron Eyes Cody shall henceforth be known as Fever Dolls.

They debuted a bangin’ new song called “Napoleon Blown Apart.” I’m sure they’ll play it again at their Nectar’s mini-residency on back-to-back Thursdays, September 21 and 28. We’ll dig into the name change and what to expect from the project next week.

“The only guarantee is that you’ll like this new [band] more,” said Fever Dolls front man EVAN ALLIS. Other highlights during my brief alpine sojourn: Bluegrass aficionados DAMN TALL BUILDINGS, who’ve rocked the Get Down for the past four years, conjured up a legit hoedown. Singersongwriter HENRY JAMISON was just as dainty and delicate as ever on the brand-new stage, the Range, which was set up in a small gully a good distance into the woods. And OVERCOATS cast their mystical electro-folk spell over a mesmerized crowd. (I suddenly remembered why I was so keen to interview them back in April.)

And then I had to bounce! Looking forward to another installment next year.

SEVENDAYSVT.COM

Last weekend, I had the pleasure of checking out the fifth annual Otis Mountain Get Down in Elizabethtown, N.Y. The backwoods indie-music hootenanny is as out-of-the-way as it gets. It’s a bit of a trek from Burlington, but the remote location gives attendees license to be unabashedly uproarious without the risk of disturbing any neighbors. It’s on a freakin’ mountain, after all.

Now, I should mention that I didn’t get to spend too much time at the fest.

Between the South End Art Hop and all of its musical offerings (KALBELLS for the win!), DYSFUNKSHUN’s 25th anniversary reunion show at the Higher Ground Showcase Lounge and general life stuff, I was spread pretty thin. But nothing was going to stop me from getting at least a taste of mountain goodness.

I arrived midafternoon on Saturday.

One thing I wish I had known before going to Otis: If you don’t drive a jeep, SUV or truck, rent or borrow one, because the parking area is a field.

Divots and ruts are naturally occurring features in this type of terrain, and your garden-variety sedan will bottom out and possibly get stuck. Don’t worry, everything’s fine, and I lived to tell the tale. But be warned.

Next, I hopped aboard the shuttle, which takes revelers from the parking area up to the festival grounds. And revelers there were! The experience was

essentially a hayride crossed with an average Tuesday night in a University of Vermont dorm room. To wit: If I had wanted to swig Black Velvet directly from the bottle or chug some Natty Ice, I probably could have just asked.

Once on the grounds, I found Otis to have a real “dog days of summer camp” vibe. Denizens walked a slackline and played badminton, cornhole and another game I’ve never seen before.

(I’m calling it “bucket Frisbee.”)

[Editor’s note: That would be Kan Jam. And it rules.] An arts-and-crafts table was available for anyone who wanted to contribute to a group mural, and I observed more bare feet than I would have expected in 60-degree weather.

As I wandered around, I saw a number of typical festival sights: a dude in an astronaut helmet, people blowing bubbles, a person rocking a Dr. Seuss hat, questionable parenting, boundary issues, etc. But I also saw a couple of things that I’ve never seen before: a group of dudes taking a break from partying to sing the “Kim Possible” theme song, and a woman on crutches with two duct-tape cup holders attached to each. And, yes, she filled them with tall boys.

LIZ COOPER & THE STAMPEDE were just wrapping up on the Center Stage when I rolled up, which was a stone-cold bummer because I was totally digging their dream-folk indie rock. The crowd flocked to the adjacent Spruce Stage for a set from IRON EYES CODY — er, I

The competition unfolded over several nights of stiff competition last week, culminating in a final round on Saturday featuring 15 local comics.

Of those, five were named the top NEXT WEEK finalists, including Bridge, second-place winner JOE GINGRAS, and TRACY DOLAN, TYLER DENTON and TARZAN JENKINS — who claimed third, fourth and fifth places respectively. Kudos to all who entered!

However, for every clunker like “Country Style,” there are cuts such as “Busted in Texas.” Here Brick gets personal, riffing on his time in the Lone Star State with heartfelt insight and feeling. He might still lean on the occasional lyrical crutch, but he overcomes them with raw energy and grit. The same could be said of several other tracks, too, such as the steel-guitar-powered “Runnin’ in the Night” and the neon-buzzed “Bar Light Memory.” Both are among his best songs ever.

As always, Brick models himself after the giants of 1970s outlaw country, in particular Messrs. Jennings, Haggard, Paycheck and Cash. He sings with a barrelchested baritone and a swaggering drawl.

Brick doesn’t try to reinvent the wheel, musically or lyrically. But, on Just Passin’ Through, he has penned some of his finest work.

Just Passin’ Through by Tim Brick is available at CD Baby. Brick plays on Saturday, September 16, at Moogs Place in Morrisville.

SEVEN DAYS

THE SKINNY PANCAKE (HANOVER): Pickin’ Party with Dave Clark (bluegrass), 3 p.m., free.

Tim Brick has a restless soul. But his is precisely the sort of wanderlust befitting a classically molded country crooner.

Throughout his career, Brick has followed in one of the great Americana traditions: looking to the road for inspiration.

On his 2009 debut, Borderline, and his 2011 follow-up, Free to Run, the call of America’s wide-open highways was a thematic cornerstone. Couple that yearning with an equally captivating pull to flee one’s hometown, and you could practically hear the Barre native plotting to leave one day.

Last year, Brick did just that. He packed up his Stetson hat, dusty boots and sixstring and made tracks for the live-music

capital of the world: Austin, Texas. But his stay was brief: Brick lasted only a few months there before returning to Vermont.

Still, the experience proved profound enough to inspire the songwriter’s latest record, Just Passin’ Through.

Historically, Brick’s best moments are those in which he ditches genre clichés in favor of more individualized sentiments. That remains true on Just Passin’ Through — though at 14 cuts, finding those moments can require patience. Opener “Country Style,” for example, essentially plays like a checklist of every trope in modern country music: faded jeans, dirt roads, pickup trucks, cold beer, etc.

Brick’s affinity for small-town pleasures is genuine enough, as he makes abundantly clear throughout the album. But the delivery here is just too generic.

keyboards. Alas, he seems less comfortable behind the mixing console.

The record is entirely self-recorded and self-produced, which may be the source of some of its shortcomings. Vocals are thin and compressed throughout, the horn section sounds like it came from a tin can, and everything is mixed way too low. If you’re planning to throw any of these songs on a party playlist alongside professionally produced tracks, you’ll find yourself frequently adjusting the volume.

Sonic deficiencies don’t entirely derail the experience, though. Despite its paperthin production, “Something Beautiful” is perhaps the album’s most interesting composition. Disjointed jazz chords and gossamer guitar picking fit nicely with the club aesthetic, and Sunquiet delivers some of his best singing.

Elastic Love presents its maker as a sundrenched party animal. If Sunquiet intends only to make his listeners shake it, he quite possibly succeeds. But if his mission is to make high-quality dance music, he needs a skilled producer to guide his vision into a more professionalsounding space.

Elastic Love by Robin Sunquiet is available on iTunes.

Robin Sunquiet just wants to dance. Not only that, he really, really wants you to join him. The Burlingtonborn singer-songwriter was the leader of the now-defunct Queen City band the Move it Move it. Now that he’s flying solo, he’s less focused on the pan-global sounds of his former project and solidly fixes his gaze on an ever-revolving mirror ball.

Elastic Love, Sunquiet’s first solo release, is full of surging, easily digestible, techno-funk pop bangers. Rattling hihats, high falsetto vocals soaked in AutoTune and vocoder effects and funkadelic bass lines create an indelible party atmosphere. It’s all vaguely reminiscent of turn-of-the-century pop-electronic acts like Basement Jaxx and Moloko —if they had a soulful singer like Jamie Lidell fronting them.

The opening track, “Endless Weekend,” is a radiant banger that distills Sunquiet’s euphoric vision of party perfection: sun, sand, moonlit waterfalls, a gyrating dance-off and plenty of friends with whom to enjoy it. He skyrockets into his upper register as he hits the chorus.

“Got Your Back” dips into a languid, rocksteady beat. Jagged organs pop on the offbeat while Sunquiet whisper-sings the titular hook into echoey oblivion. A lone synth overlays a countermelody that’s actually more memorable than the chorus itself.

“Pure Energy” is a down-the-line, 120 BPM toe-tapper suited for the waiting room at Crunch Fitness. He sings the hook (which, again, is titular) with velveteen three-part harmony.

Sunquiet is damn good at writing a catchy tune. He’s clearly fluent in classic pop anatomy and scores an A-plus for constructing memorable hooks. He also displays versatility on guitar, bass and

REVIEW

ublic sculpture can be a catalyst for cities to generate foot traffic, walk-in business and buzz. Vermont cities and towns haven’t invested in contemporary outdoor sculptures to the extent one might wish. (Indeed, the relative singularity of “Reverence,” aka the whale tails by Jim Sardonis, beside Interstate 89 may help explain why the sculpture is so beloved.)

But one exception is the town of Stowe, which becomes crowded with outdoor sculptures annually.

Hosted by the Helen Day Art Center, “Exposed” lasts from July well into October. And, even better than a permanent installation, the selection changes every year.

This year’s 26th anniversary show features 12 sculptures by 11 artists — a collection that’s a bit smaller than in previous years. Rachel Moore, who directs the Helen Day and chose the works without a jury, says that while she “condensed” the show, she also “raised the level of the work significantly.”

Assistant curator Stephanie Walker of the Waitsfield gallery Walker Contemporary provided logistical and other support. Petra and Stephen Levin copresented this year’s show with the “Lady,” by Karen Petersen Helen Day. Moore’s most impressive selections are two very different sculptures by internationally recognized American artist Mark di Suvero and one by South African Lionel If visitors begin Smit. The three are at the Helen Day and made from metal, as follow the path des“Voulez Vous” by Judith Wrend are all but one of the ignated on brochures works in the exhibit.

shoulders, joined at their shared hair bun and proximate shoulders. The expressions on the faces differ slightly, but both gazes are calm and level.

In his audio commentary — viewers can call a recording at each stop — Smit says that his sculpture represents the past and future of his post-apartheid country. More typically a painter, he explores what he calls South Africa’s “split identities” through portraits of women from the ethnic group Cape Malay, who

share African, European and Malasian heritage. As in the work of Vermont painter Janet McKenzie, another white artist who chooses to portray largely non-white figures, the “Morphous” women’s serene beauty and gravitas offset the sense of race being used as a symbol.

That 2014 piece came to Stowe from Union Square in New York City, where it had previously sat for several months.

Rodrigo Nava’s “Marker Form,” next to it on the gallery lawn, presumably traveled only from Putney, where the metal sculptor and furniture maker has a studio.

Nava’s work also appeared in the 2015 “Exposed.” He uses a proprietary process involving small explosions to separate sheets of steel that are welded together at the seams. The finished works look improbably inflated and deceptively light and airy. “Marker Form,” more angular than his previous work, resembles an origami shape that retains folds and wrinkles in the metal.

The figural works of Karen Petersen, Walter Horak and Colin Moore each challenge straight figuration in different ways. “Lady,” an equine sculpture by Petersen, of Braintree, strips the nearly life-size horse down to its essential curves — no tail, mane or ears — leaving

CALL TO ARTISTS CITY OF BURLINGTON FLAG COMPETITION: Seeking design submissions for a new Burlington city flag. The winning design will receive a $250 honorarium, one-year membership to Burlington City Arts and a flag of their design.

Submitters must be a resident of Burlington or own a Burlington business. For details and to submit, visit burlingtoncityarts.org/btvflag.

Deadline: October 15. Burlington City Arts. Info, akrebbs@burlingtoncityarts.org.

“Marker Form” by Rodrigo Nava

“Gorky” by Mark di Suvero

The finish on “Gorky” consists of naturally occurring rust. Di Suvero’s other piece in the show, “Arcobaleno” (“rainbow” in Italian), is painted with four primary colors — red, yellow, blue and white — reminiscent of Piet Mondrian’s work. Much smaller in scale, it positions two vertical steelsheet cutouts at an angle to each other, their curves and projecting appendages appearing to suggest male and female figures.

The show’s most colorful and fun sculpture is “Camp Iris,” Victoria Palermo’s linked A-frame structures sheathed in tinted acrylic and named for the Greek goddess of the rainbow.

Sitting or standing on the carpeted interiors of the Queensbury, N.Y., artist’s 1960s-inspired “camps,” looking up at the changed world, brings the experience of this year’s adventurous “Exposed” to a fitting end.

something akin to a human female body.

Thus, the energy of a horse seemingly about to kick up its back legs simultaneously communicates feminine power.

“Fulcrum,” by the Rhode Island sculptor Horak, shows three equally lean male dancers or acrobats in a circus-like balancing act that becomes its own abstract form: The standing figure, head down, supports the other two, which are arched horizontally into the form of a double-pointed oval.

Moore’s “Emily,” meanwhile, looks like a standard nude, her back facing the street, until viewers walk around to encounter her sliced-off front. The Boston-based Moore has written that he created the sculpture after his daughter moved to the West Coast. The sense of loss is powerful; so, too, is the suggestion of an unformed individual as she faces her future.

Only one work in the show, “Zipper,”

by Stowe artist Christopher Curtis, is carved from stone. Beautifully sited on a grassy knoll with the mountains rising beyond, the work previously sat at Stowe’s nearby West Branch Gallery, of which Curtis is the former co-owner.

“Zipper” is a 4-foot-high granite boulder, left roughly formed on the outside but precisely cut with geometric wedges on two interior halves.

These interlocking wedges appear to fit together, as if one could close the two halves snugly together.

Visitors familiar with di Suvero’s nine steel, I-beam sculptures at the Storm King Art Center in Cornwall, N.Y., will recognize his “Gorky” at “Exposed” as their kin. This puzzle of a form doesn’t include a pendulous component, as do several others by the 2010

recipient of the National Medal of Arts. Instead, the work centers a bolted assemblage of I-beams at gravity-defying angles on and through a thin vertical steel sheet, its sides circular cutouts. The whole — delicate curves supporting a top-heavy structure — seems entirely improbable, which lends it an air of elegance.

‘DARK MATTER’: The S.P.A.C.E. Gallery welcomes submissions for its annual October juried “dark arts” exhibition, to be curated by gallery director Christy Mitchell. Artists are asked to consider how existence, puzzling realities and fantasies play into their work and understanding of the world.

For details and to submit, visit spacegalleryvt. com. Deadline: September 30, 11:59 p.m. The S.P.A.C.E. Gallery. Info, 578-2512.

REVIEWS

H

ow horrible a year is Hollywood having? Let’s see: Summer attendance was the lowest in a quarter century. Even factoring in the global market, 2017 is setting records for big-budget bombs. Foreign moviegoers famous for eating up anything with American stars in spandex are staying home in droves. It’s the industry’s worst nightmare.

Everybody everywhere is tired of the same old crap.

Ten years ago, it would have been impossible to imagine a new Alien or Transformers installment tanking, a Pirates or X-Men sequel being greeted by an intercontinental yawn, or the R-rated comedy being put on life support. Baywatch, Snatched, Rough Night — basically anything with punch lines except The Big Sick — came out of opening weekend without a pulse.

People in Tinseltown are scratching their heads, wondering why the world didn’t go bananas over Tom Cruise cranking up a new Mummy franchise while the most recent is still playing on basic cable. Repeat after me: Everybody everywhere is tired of the same old crap.

Audiences haven’t just been starved for good movies. They’ve been starved for movies, period. This Labor Day weekend was the

IT HAPPENS What’s more dispiriting than a lazily conceived remake of a lesser King adaptation? One with a sequel already in the works.

first in 25 years not to feature a wide release.

Hollywood has thrown up its arms.

Which was just fine with New Line Cinema. Guess what happened over the weekend when it released a lazily conceived remake with zero stars and a one-hit director — but the name Stephen King subliminally attached? Yup, Americans stampeded to the cineplex. Even though it’s the same old crap.

Directed by Andy Muschietti (Mamá), It is less a remake than a recycling. The film tells only the first half of the story told in the book and the 1990 film adaptation. And Mus-

chietti reshapes the source material to allow appropriation of visuals and tropes from King-based classics such as Carrie, The Shining, Dolores Claiborne and, most flagrantly, Stand by Me. This homage, if that’s what it is, backfires by reminding us how infinitely superior those pictures were.

I won’t even list the names of this film’s young actors. They probably wouldn’t mean anything to you, and each character is barely more than a pitch-session stereotype. An outcast group of kids in a small Maine town inexplicably attracts the attention of a super-

natural clown. The opening scene in which the psychotic carny lures an unsuspecting boy into a rain sewer is borderline creepy, but it’s all downhill from there.

The tubby boy, the stuttering boy, the potty-mouthed boy, the girl who’s abused by her father until she triumphantly kung-fus him — all are put through two-plus hours of jump-scare, haunted-house and creaky-door paces. CGI and sudden soundtrack blasts stand in for authentic horror jolts. There are even basements not to go into which, naturally, are gone into. And the longer all of this drags on, the more of a drag it becomes.

A number of scenes featuring nasty things happening to children are in bad taste, I’d argue. And just how terrifying is a clown whose supernatural ass can be kicked by a bunch of fed-up preteens, anyway? Did I mention he bears a striking resemblance to Gene Simmons?

Try to remember the last really good film based on a King work. Unless I’m forgetting something (Firestarter 2: Rekindled?), it’s The Green Mile. And that came out last century. Yup, Hollywood has big problems. In 2017, King may still be a brand. But nothing based on his books comes close to feeling brand-new.

Home Again ★★

H

omecoming stories have become old hat for Reese Witherspoon.

In 2002, the perky actress scored her biggest live-action box-office success with Sweet Home Alabama. A run-ofthe-mill but occasionally charming romantic comedy, it featured Witherspoon as an engaged New York socialite who returns home to the Deep South to finalize a divorce from her blue-collar husband. In Home Again, her profession has switched from fashion designer to interior decorator, and the locale has shifted from the Heart of Dixie to upscale Los Angeles, but the clichés are as familiar as a bad penny.

This time around, Witherspoon plays Alice, a mother of two who moves back to her childhood home in SoCal following her separation from Austen, her New York-based music-exec husband (the woefully underutilized Michael Sheen). In short order, she hooks up with Harry (Pico Alexander), a fledgling 27-year-old film director, following a drunken 40th birthday outing.

The morning after, Alice awakens to find Harry’s two screenwriter and actor buddies crashed out in her living room. (Picture a blander, less-funny version of the ensemble from the HBO series “Entourage.”) Then her mother (played by Candice Bergen, Witherspoon’s prospective mother-in-law in Sweet Home Alabama) shows up and implausibly invites the down-on-their-luck filmmakers to live in her daughter’s guesthouse until

they secure financing for a follow-up feature to their promising indie short.

The plot device of a woman sharing living quarters with a group of strange men was employed to great comic effect in George Stevens’ World War II-era classic The More the Merrier, which used the wartime housing crisis in Washington, D.C., as an excuse to cram Jean Arthur into a cramped apartment with odd-couple roommates Joel McCrea and Charles Coburn. Here the setup feels contrived and utterly unbelievable. The humorous potential of the situation is also wasted. When Austen finally arrives in LA to try to win back Alice’s heart, he’s known about her unorthodox living arrangement for some time, leaving the comedic element of surprise out of the equation.

Home Again was written and directed by Hallie Meyers-Shyer, the daughter of veteran rom-com filmmakers Nancy Meyers (The Holiday; It’s Complicated) and Charles Shyer (the remake of Father of the Bride and its unfortunate sequel). Though her mother shares a producer credit on the film, Meyers-Shyer seems to have inherited her parents’ worst cinematic impulses and few of their virtues.

Party scenes are glossed over with nondiegetic music drowning out conversation. A potential love quadrangle including Harry’s screenwriter friend (“Saturday Night Live” alum Jon Rudnitsky) is briefly explored but never fleshed out. A fistfight scene that should have been a climactic

FULL HOUSE Reese Witherspoon stars as a single mom with multiple suitors in Hallie Meyers-Shyer’s forgettable rom-com.

encounter between Austen and Harry is instead an absurdly abrupt conflict between Austen and aspiring actor Teddy (Nat Wolff ), the least-developed character of the house-crashing trio.

But the main problem lies in the film’s pedestrian direction and often-banal dialogue.

A typical exchange: Austen: “Where do you keep your forks?”

Alice: “In the drawer.”

Witherspoon does her best with the limited material, but at times she’s a caricature of her former effervescent screen persona.

It doesn’t help that the chemistry with her younger love interest mostly fizzles.

“What is happening here?” Alice asks Harry at one point about the nature of their relationship. “I don’t think either of us know the answer to that,” he responds.

Unfortunately, neither does Meyers-Shyer. By the time Alice and Harry’s courtship reaches its illogical conclusion, one is left wishing the writer-director had followed Thomas Wolfe’s literary maxim: “You can’t go home again.”

Mother!

Offbeat Flick of the Week: We pick an indie, foreign, cultish or just plain odd movie that hits local theaters, DVD or video on demand this week. If you want an alternative to the blockbusters, try this!

SEVEN DAYS

Want to see a movie so intense that star Jennifer Lawrence hyperventilated during filming and dislocated a rib? That flick would be Mother!, the latest from writer-director Darren Aronofsky (Black Swan, Pi). The plot points sound like your typical haunted-house horror: A married couple (Lawrence, Javier Bardem) living in a remote country home take in unexpected overnight guests (Ed Harris, Michelle Pfeiffer) who put the "strange" in strangers. But, straddling the genres of psychological horror and black comedy, the "toweringly outrageous film leaves no gob unsmacked," writes the Guardian. See it for yourself — and maybe bring a paper bag — starting this Friday at Capitol Showplace, Essex Cinemas, Majestic 10, Merrill's Roxy Cinemas or Palace 9.

RACHEL LIVES HERE NOW

REAL FREE WILL ASTROLOGY BY ROB BREZSNY Already Did It,” which referenced their feelings that it was hard to come up with new tales because their rival had already used so many good ones. I bring this up, Taurus, because I suspect your life story will soon be spinning out novel plots that have never before been seen, not even on “The Simpsons” or “South Park.” You could and should be the Best Storyteller of the Month.

VIRGO

(AUG. 23-SEPT. 22)

In the coming weeks, you might want to read the last few pages of a book before you decide to actually dive in and devour the whole thing.

I also suggest you take what I just said as a useful metaphor to apply in other areas. In general, it might be wise to surmise the probable outcomes of games, adventures and experiments before you get totally involved. Try this fun exercise: Imagine you are a psychic prophet as you evaluate the long-range prospects of any influences that are vying to play a role in your future.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Two animals are pictured prominently on Australia’s coat of arms: the kangaroo and the large, flightless bird known as the emu. One of the reasons they were chosen is that both creatures rarely walk backward. They move forward or not at all. Australia’s founders wanted this trait to symbolize the nation’s pledge to never look back, to remain focused on advancing toward the future. The coming weeks will be a favorable time for you to make a similar commitment, Aries. Is there a new symbol you might adopt to inspire your intention?

actly be free in the coming weeks, but there should be some good deals. And I’m not referring to risky black-market stuff obtained in back alleys, either. I mean straightforward liaisons and intriguing intimacy at a reasonable cost. So if you’re comfortably mated, I suggest you invest in a campaign to bring more comedy and adventure into your collaborative efforts. If you’re single, wipe that love-starved look off your face and do some exuberant window-shopping. If you’re neither comfortably mated nor single, money may temporarily be able to buy you a bit more happiness.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): The current state of your fate reminds me of the sweet confusion alluded to in Octavio Paz’s poem “Between Going and Staying”: “All is visible and elusive, all is near and can’t be touched.” For another clue to the raw truth of your life right now, I’ll quote the poet William Wordsworth.

He spoke of “fleeting moods of shadowy exultation.” Is the aura described by Paz and Wordsworth a problem that you should try to fix? Is it detrimental to your heroic quest? I don’t think so. Just the opposite, really: I hope you can hang out for a while in this pregnant mystery — between the yes and the no, between the dark and the light, between the dream and the reality. It will help you learn what you’ve been too restless to tune in to in the past.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): The imminent future will be a favorable time for refurbished models and revived originals. They are likely to be more fun and interesting the second time around. I suspect that this will also be an auspicious phase for substitutes and alternatives.

They may even turn out to be better than the so-called real things they replace. So be artful

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “Dear Dr. Astrology: I’m feeling lost but am also feeling very close to finding my new direction. It hurts!

It would be so helpful if I could just catch a glimpse of that new direction. I’d be able to better endure the pain and confusion if I could get a tangible sense of the future happiness that my pain and confusion are preparing me for. Can you offer me any free advice? -Lost Libra.” Dear Libra: The pain and confusion come from the dying of the old ways. They need to die a bit more before the new direction will reveal itself clearly. I predict that will happen soon — no later than October 1.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Welcome to “Compose Your Own Oracle,” a special edition of Free Will Astrology. Departing from tradition, I’m temporarily stepping aside so you can have the freedom to write the exact horoscope you want. Normally, you might be in danger of falling victim to presumptuous arrogance if you imagined you could wield complete control over how your destiny unfolds. But in the days ahead, that rule won’t be as unyielding, because cosmic forces will be giving you more slack than usual. Fate and karma, which frequently impel you to act according to patterns that were set in place long ago, are giving you at least a partial respite. To get the maximum benefit out of “Compose Your Own Oracle,” identify three plot developments you’d like to weave into a self-fulfilling prophecy for your immediate future. Then start weaving.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Almost

two-thirds of us confess that, if we are alone, we might sip milk directly from the carton rather than first pouring it into a glass. Fourteen percent of us have used milk as part of our sexual activities. One out of every five of us admits that we have “borrowed” someone else’s milk from the fridge at work. Most shockingly, four percent of us brag that we have blown milk out our noses on purpose. I expect that in the next two weeks, you Sagittarians

will exceed all these norms. Not just because you’ll be in the mood to engage in mischievous experiments and playful adventures with milk, but because you’re likely to have a looseygoosey relationship with almost everything.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): The coming weeks will be an excellent time for you to raise funds in support of political prisoners or volunteer at a soup kitchen or donate blood at a blood bank. In fact, any charitable service you perform for people you don’t know will be excellent for your physical and mental health. You can also generate vivid blessings for yourself by being extra thoughtful, kind and generous toward people you care for.

You’re in a phase of your astrological cycle when unselfish acts will yield maximum selfish benefits.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): In his novel

The Jungle, muckraker Upton Sinclair (18781968) exposed the abominable hygiene and working conditions of the meat-packing industry. The uproar that followed led to corrective legislation by the U.S. Congress. Sinclair remained devoted to serving the public good throughout his career. He liked to say that the term “social justice” was inscribed on his heart.

Drawing from his inspiration, Aquarius, I suggest you decide what your soul’s main motto is — and imagine that it is written on your heart.

Now is a perfect moment time to clarify your life’s purpose and intensify your commitment to it, to devote even more practical, tender zeal to fulfilling the reason you were born.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You know that “patch of bothersome weeds” growing right in the middle of your life? Is it really a patch of bothersome weeds? Or is it perhaps a plot of cultivated blooms that once pleased you but has now turned into a puzzling irrelevancy?

Or how about this possibility: Is it a chunk of languishing beauty that might flourish and please you again if it were cared for better?

Those are excellent questions for you to pose in the coming days, Pisces. According to my interpretation of the astrological omens, it’s time for you to decide on the future of this quizzical presence.

SEVENDAYSVT.COM

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “The Simpsons” is an animated sitcom that will soon begin its 29th consecutive year on TV. During its run, it has told more than 600 stories. The creators of another animated sitcom, “South Park,” once did an episode entitled “Simpsons

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Love won’t ex-

in formulating plan B and plan C, Leo. Switching over to backups may ultimately bring out more of the best in you and whisk you toward your ultimate goal in unexpected ways.

CURVY BLONDE SEEKS BEARDED NERD If thick blondes aren’t your thing, move along. I like my coffee strong, my beer dark and my wine red. I like camping, theater, analyzing movies, history/trivia, swimming, singing, various art projects.

I throw down in the kitchen. I like deep conversations in dark corners and laughing loudly in bookstores. Educated, employed, INT/FJ, a sucker for animals and autumn. Snoworries90, 26, l

KIND HEART WITH A KICK I’m the type of person who makes everyone laugh with very awkward and sometimes crude jokes, and I guarantee that I will embarrass myself at some point by telling a joke or story at my own expense. But I think being able to laugh at yourself is a great quality and is so often overlooked. Kingdom_County, 30, l

FINDING LOVE TO LAST FOREVER I love the outdoors and time with family.

Reading is a new part of my life when I can. Stay very active. Enjoy cooking and trying new recipes for family and friends. If you are interested to learn more, contact me. Tish, 68, l

ART, ANIMALS, KINDNESS, COMPASSION, ROMANCE Romantic lady seeks true gentleman.

Must enjoy art, animals, creativity, nature, truth and beauty. Intelligence will get my attention. Kindness will keep it forever. The world can be a strident place. Let’s meet, talk, walk (hand-in-hand) and go out dancing! pepstar, 56, l

CREATIVE, LOVING DREAMER I am nice-looking with bright blue eyes.

I enjoy people and conversation. I love to cook. I love time together, but I also love time apart. I like lectures, reading, documentaries. I also love yoga and walking. I love balance. I want to build a small home, host and live a simple, intentional, beautiful life with a likeminded individual. forfunlife, 58, l

ALWAYS OPTIMISTIC ABOUT FINDING LOVE My friends describe me as a happy, lowmaintenance person who enjoys simple pleasures: walking in the moonlight; savoring a meal we cooked; hiking and a picnic while we enjoy the view. Believe in traditional gender roles — the man is the head of the relationship. I need to be able to count on you to make the best decisions for us. SewFine, 51, l

SWEET, SASSY, SENSITIVE, SOMEWHATSANE BBW I’m a BBW looking to date and more.

There must be guys in this area who are into bigger women! I’m assertive and sensitive at the same time, playful, geeky and intelligent.

I am independent and charming.

Please be DD-free, in Chittenden County, have your own car and be respectable! weezergirl124, 36, l

LOYAL, SENSITIVE, HUMOROUS — OH, MY! Would soooo rather communicate face-to-face! Love meeting new people and hearing their stories. Although I appreciate quiet alone time, being single is not for me. Love Vermont; can’t imagine living anywhere else. Yet also love travel, and look forward to more adventures. Can’t wait to meet you and engage in meaningful conversation.

Until then... SoPhil212, 59, l

SMART, SASSY AND HONEST Educated, attractive night owl craving intellectual discussions, belly laughs and someone to cook with/try new restaurants. Can’t get enough of Bernie, Maher and George Nori. Picky eaters, early risers, exercise enthusiasts and Republicans need not apply. Let’s watch “Create” for culinary inspiration while competing at Scrabble! Good sense of humor a must. ckramer1, 76, l RECYCLED TEENAGER I am a happy, educated, independent and wise woman. Love to learn something new every day and consider each new day a gift. Live life large, very enthusiastic, never bored.

Passionate about dogs, I am a certified trainer for therapy and assistance.

COMPASSIONATE, ACTIVE, GAMER, NATURE LOVER Liberal, spiritually curious, active, health-conscious, video-game-loving vegan looking for like-minded (LOL, vegetarians are fine) man for casual dating/friendship or woman friends to hang out with. I am not looking for anything serious right off, so would like to go slow and get to know each other.

I love walking with my doggies, music, meditating, kayaking and just being in nature. Chinacatrider59, 58, l THINKING OF MOVING NORTH People say that you look young for your age, but it’s only because you still move like a young man. You enjoy thoughtful films and discussions with interesting people. I am a widowed flatlander who has been coming up here for 40 years. I am here during the summer and would like to have a reason to move north. elsewhere, 56, l FULL LIFE, BUT MISSING YOU Dynamic personality. Also enjoy quiet moments. Outgoing and love to meet and hear about others. Loyal, helpful, independent. Enjoy keeping active, home projects, gardening, bicycling, long drives, kayaking, swimming, volunteering.

Looking for a life partner to share those moments. half_full, 56, l

MEN Seeking WOMEN

HUMOROUS, FUN-LOVING SENIOR I’m looking for an honest, fun, outgoing woman who will enjoy spending time with me going to movies, going out for a quiet dinner, sharing a good laugh and generally enjoying each other’s company. I’m not looking for drama — just someone to share good times with. Mr1950, 67, l

QUIRKY WOODSMAN, NERDY CHEF I’ve had crazy adventures and high drama, but I’m more into calm, relaxing nights and just chilling out lately. I do have the potential for an adventure once in a while. Just looking to share some joy and love with a nice girl. :) McGregor8, 42, l ON THE GO Hopeless romantic but still believe.

Reserved, but the right woman will draw me out. Sentimentalist not afraid to shed a tear. Enjoy visual and performing arts and volunteering. Play sports, hike and bike. Like music and dancing. Garden and fruit trees. Looking for someone who wants to share their interests, join me in mine and explore new ones together. Kemosabe, 66, l HONEST, DEPENDABLE, PASSIONATE, ROMANTIC I consider myself to be one of the most honest and straightforward people you will ever meet. I am comfortable dressing up, being casual or being naked. Whatever the occasion calls for. LOL. I was raised a gentleman.

Having a relationship with someone I’m attracted to physically, mentally and spiritually is what I’m looking for. Gentlemanlover, 50, l ROUGH, TOUGH, READY TO TUMBLE I am the type of person who enjoys animals and not getting out of bed.

Love traditional gender roles. Dynamic, outrageous personality. Must be willing to participate in a séance.

Body type and age irrelevant, but must own a dog. Looking for the type of person who, when asked “Sex?” answers “Yes, please.” Gingers need not apply. ChocoTacoTuesday, 48, l I’M HERE FOR YOU, BABY Oh yes, darling, I am here for you. We will create love, make love, share love like it’s the first love, the last love. I will be your everything in love. My dear, we will remove our brassiere, and ecstacy will find us in the rapture of love.

Hmmmmmm. barry_white, 47, 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.

I love chicken wings more than I will ever love you. Or anything, for that matter. suhdude69, 23, l

LOVE THE LIFE YOU LIVE Looking for a hippie girl who’s into nature, gardening, hiking, rivers and making art. Let’s do some healthy activities to recharge and maintain our mind, body and spirit! How about a yoga class at the Zenbarn? All loving women welcome! Come check me out! Not a social butterfly, but still a butterfly. ;) maplelion, 35, l

POLO SHIRT, CLEAN-SHAVEN, CASUAL, POLITE I think of the old style: Ladies first, hold the door and she goes first. I grew up fast in the early ‘70s and have complicity and simplicity at the same time. Most easy to get along with, and I desire someone of that cast. No stress or drama at this point in our lives. larrywhite, 62, l

THOUGHTFUL, COURAGEOUS AND CURIOUS Clean, fit, discreet man, early 60s, seeks partner(s?) for exploration of nonbinary-exclusive, non-hierarchical relationship paradigm-shifting. If the old way(s) of being in relationship(s) no longer work or make sense for you, let’s try out some new ones. Curiosity, a sense of adventure, a bit of courage and a good sense of humor would probably help. toferburl, 61, l

Looking for someone with that in common.

Love the outdoors and the fun things that come with it. 4535479, 44, l QUALITY TIME, REALITY CHECK I have been told that I am a renaissance man. I am drawn to the arts and appreciate all forms of music, dance and theater. I am involved daily in directing a creative product group while simultaneously developing advanced manufacturing technologies used by aerospace companies. My colleagues call me “that science guy” and the man of many hats. PlasmaGuy, 62, l LOVE PUPPY UP FOR ADOPTION I’ve always been a hopeless romantic, but now I’m a hopeful romantic. I’m a straight-up working guy who’s looking for the real deal. I’ve always worked physically, so I’m in good shape. I love to bike, take walks, hold hands and kiss in the rain. Come and join me in my pursuit of happiness. If we connect, this could be a beautiful thing! ranman55, 62, l

You: Man. Me: Woman. #914100 WE POOPED TOGETHER. FROM ROCHESTER. Your mom scooped our poop, and we frolicked and had so much fun until we had to go. I wish we could’ve sneaked off and sniffed things.

...AND LOVIN’ IT!

NEW VIDEO!

Your wise counselor in love, lust and life

ASK ATHENA Dear Athena,

How can I tell if my wife has had sex with someone else?

In the past few months, she has changed. She shaved herself down there and talks about dirty sex stuff in ways I’m not used to. What do I do? What is going on with her?

Signed,

Dear Seriously,

Seriously Suspicious

Want to know what’s going on with your wife? Ask her.

Seriously!

You know her well, don’t you? She’s your wife, after all. You’ve planned to be together forever. So what’s stopping you from addressing her unusual behavior?

The longer you wait to share your concerns, the more your suspicions will grow.

Whether she’s been unfaithful or not, it’s clear you’re feeling disconnected from her. Is it just her new ’do “down there” that alarms you? How dirty is this “dirty” talk? Is it possible that she’s just trying to spice things up with you?

Maybe she’s been exploring parts of herself that she’s ready to reveal to you. I know the prospect of her changing might be hard. But your decision to grow old together doesn’t preclude personal growth along the way. In fact, change is the only constant in this world, and it’s wise to welcome it with an open mind.

But maybe there are other indicators that she’s been sneaking around with someone else. Is she avoiding you?

Are you two still having sex? Is she going out more often?

You’ll only get to the bottom of this by going straight to the source. Tell her you’ve noticed some changes and you’re not sure what they mean. And tell her you love her.

That’s always a good way to start.

Yours,

Need advice?

Athena
