Vermont State Police are asking for the public’s help in finding whoever burglarized an unoccupied home on Downingsville Road in Lincoln on September 7. An eyewitness told police that she saw a pickup truck with amber running lights on its roof back up to the house around midnight. Stolen antiques include a wagon wheel, a wall-mounted rotary telephone, a surveying set and a meat cleaver.

The Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department is asking successful hunters to make every effort to mail in a bear tooth from any recent “harvests.” State wildlife biologists use the teeth to estimate the bear’s age and health, which subsequently helps them determine the overall health and status of Vermont’s bear population. That said, FWD officials are also reminding hunters in southern Vermont to not shoot any bears with yellow ear tags and radio collars. A dozen or so tagged and collared bears are part of an ongoing study on the effects of a proposed wind-energy development within Green Mountain National Forest in the towns of Searsburg and Readsboro.

Po-Po

Police have identified a suspect in the July break-in at the now-defunct Burlington College on North Avenue. Brett Seglem, 26, was arrested by police in Troy, N.Y., on July 25 after he allegedly crashed a stolen Burlington College van into a fence. According to a police affidavit obtained

by VTDigger.org, Seglem allegedly offered three strangers a lift from Albany, N.Y., to Philadelphia, Pa., giving his name only as “Bread.” One passenger later told police that after Seglem got into a fender bender and began driving erratically, one of the passengers began to “choke Seglem in order to make him stop driving.” Police recovered about 20 stolen computers and other electronics as well as the damaged van — which will barely make a dent in Burlington College’s “crushing debt.”

staged highly publicized protests, creating a national dialogue about natural gas extraction.

Protesters in New Haven sang as they walked up a dirt road and approached heavy equipment. When the protesters drew near, the equipment operators walked away.

As Rachel Elizabeth Jones reported on Off Message, Jason Kaye, 33, of Middlebury, climbed an embankment and proclaimed: “I don’t know if you were all aware, but these machines were running just a moment ago!”

Activists took turns speaking.

“This is Abenaki country,” declared Carol Irons, a septuagenarian activist with Abenaki heritage. “We are brothers and sisters with the Lakota people and the other indigenous nations. There’s got to be a rising. This is the beginning of it.”

Some protesters climbed onto equipment. Police eventually ordered protesters to leave and arrested 12 people who did not.

“We’re really pleased that today’s event remained peaceful and ended safely,” said Beth Parent, a spokeswoman for Vermont Gas. Read the full posts at sevendaysvt.com.

ermont Gas scored a major victory Tuesday in its battle to build a 41-mile natural gas pipeline from Colchester to Middlebury.

The company got permission to use eminent domain to lay pipe through Geprags Community Park in Hinesburg — the last spot where it needed to secure land rights for the project. The Public Service Board decision clearly delighted company officials.

As Alicia Freese reported on our Off Message blog, Vermont Gas CEO Don Rendall said that the decision “clears the way … to complete construction on the Addison Natural Gas Expansion project this year and begin service to customers.”

Anti-pipeline Hinesburgers plan to ask the board to reconsider the decision.

On the same day the project’s opponents lost Geprags, protesters descended on a Vermont Gas pipeline construction site in New Haven. The 60 or so people seemed to be channeling Native Americans in North Dakota who are themselves embroiled in a fight to block the Dakota Access Pipeline.

FEEDback READER REACTION TO RECENT ARTICLES

MOORE ON BURLINGTON COLLEGE

Let’s get it straight, because Seven Days reporter Alicia Freese did not [Off Message: “Former Burlington College President Unloads on Board, Jane Sanders,” September 6]: I never alluded to the influence of Sen. Bernie Sanders on Burlington College. Never mentioned his name in speaking to Freese. She took many liberties in making “allusions” to what I actually said.

Second, where was Seven Days when Burlington College students won awards for their work? Where was Seven Days when a student won a national award for community service? When BC lowered tuition to make college affordable?

All the paper printed was damaging news, which surely hurt the college’s recruitment and its financial health.

Carol Moore

LYNDONVILLE

Editor’s note: Freese’s call to Moore was prompted by the latter’s letter to the editor in the Chronicle of Higher Education, explaining the demise of Burlington College. Although she didn’t use proper names, Moore faulted an “inexperienced president” who led the institution to buy the $10 million lakefront campus, aka Jane O’Meara Sanders.

Moore also wrote: “Who is to blame for this appallingly inappropriate business deal? Perhaps a board that steered clear

TIM NEWCOMB

of the tough questions which needed to be asked. Or a bank in the state of an influential senator — a senator, as it turned out, with bigger ambitions?” Did she mean Sen. Patrick Leahy? Not likely.

ALL THE PRESIDENTS

[Re Off Message: “Former Burlington College President Unloads on Board, Jane Sanders,” September 6]: Why does the analysis of Burlington College’s death by its last president, Carol Moore, ignore the tenure of the three who followed Jane O’Meara Sanders? More importantly, why does no one ask what happened after Sanders left BC in 2011?

Contrary to Moore’s assertions in the Chronicle of Higher Education and in Seven Days, Sanders did not cause the collapse of BC. While she and her board did purchase the beautiful property for the school, Sanders was soon out of office for stillunclear reasons. At the time, she explained that “her vision for the future of the college was different than the vision of the board.”

Sanders’ vision was always to build a unique and thriving college. To implement her ambitious vision, Sanders recognized that the school needed to grow on an attractive campus with innovative programs.

Her vision did not include a real estate development.

The actual decline occurred under the three presidents who followed Sanders: Christine Plunkett, Mike Smith and, finally, Moore. None of the three appeared

to have any realistic ideas of how to build a plucky, small, affordable creative institution of higher ed like BC; none had any real ability to fundraise. In fact, during their presidencies, the board informed faculty and staff that fundraising was off the table.

From Plunkett on, the main BC-saving strategy was to sell it to real estate developers, mainly Eric Farrell, who, with his LLC, will turn it into condos and apartments. Moore delivered the coup de grâce to BC by completing the deal with Farrell during her administration. In a last irony, she awarded him an honorary degree at the school’s final graduation in May 2016.

Last week’s Fair Game [“Rutland First,” September 7], highlighting fear and opposition of a small group of Rutland County residents to refugee resettlement, overlooked a more positive story: Hundreds of people in the area have joined Rutland Welcomes, a grassroots organization with more than 20 committees focused on welcoming our new neighbors.

Last week’s news story “Winds of November: Windham, Grafton to Weigh In on Turbine Project” misidentified a town official who resigned on account of threats related to a proposed wind-power project in Windham County. He was the former chair of the Grafton Selectboard.

COMMUNITY GARDENS

SEVENDAYSVT.COM

I read with total disbelief the article on independent schools [“Independent Schools Warn: New Rules Could Cost Them Students,” September 7]. The idea that property-tax, school-fund dollars are being expended to send students to outof-state and even out-of-country schools and ski academies is incredible. Add the imbalance of $43 million going to Vermont public schools while $54 million goes to independent schools, which, if the article is to be believed, have no budget or audit accountability to the Vermont Agency of Education. I cannot imagine that most homeowners in this state who foot the bill for education through property taxes are aware of this program and how it is implemented. School funding in this state is a mess, but I never imagined the degree to which it was so messed up. You don’t improve public schools in Vermont by utilizing programs such as this.

Welcomes has been inundated with offers of help, donations of goods and ideas on how to provide the best welcome possible.

Volunteers are teaching Arabic, collecting household goods, preparing to serve as mentors and community guides, and working to ensure our new neighbors are treated with the respect and dignity every human being deserves.

While fear and opposition may reign among a small group of local residents, I have witnessed a heartwarming outpouring of love and goodwill at meetings, films, donation events and in public dialogue — a wave of compassion the likes of which I have rarely seen before.

I’ve seen children speak out for what they believe is right. I’ve seen a mayor who risked his career to do what he knows is right. I’ve seen an incredible community of people quickly band together to ask how they can help.

It’s true that there has been more ugliness in a few months than I care to witness in the rest of my lifetime, but it has been met with a flood of passion and compassion that tells me the greater Rutland region has a tremendous heart beating within its people.

“He somewhat walked away,” Scott said. “There was this business, which at that point was struggling with some debt.

I went in and tried to run the business for a bit.”

According to a letter Goldman sent Scott in September 1997, the new owners started missing payments in June of that year and stopped paying entirely in August. In January 1998, Scott’s cousin and construction business partner, DON DUBOIS, bought out the Moodys and assumed their share of the debt. That April, Goldman sent Scott one final letter.

“I have waited too long for you to cure your many months of delinquent payments,” he wrote, calling it “absolutely the last straw.” Goldman demanded that Scott surrender the nightclub and warned him against liquidating its assets, writing that

PHIL SCOTT WAS FORCED TO SURRENDER HIS NIGHTCLUB. doing so would amount to “a criminal offense, for which I will absolutely press charges if anything is missing.”

When Goldman filed suit the next month in Washington Superior Court, his lawyer alleged that Scott had “denied entry and repossession” to Goldman on the day his client sent the April letter. A judge ordered law enforcement to seize the property, pending resolution of the suit, explaining that there was “a reasonable likelihood” that Goldman would prevail.

Court documents suggest that the parties reached a settlement in September 1998, though the terms were not disclosed.

According to Scott and Goldman, it entailed selling the club to a third party and paying Goldman in full.

“In the end, we made good on our agreement,” Scott said, “and nobody was hurt.”

Despite his harsh words at the time, Goldman now says that he harbors no ill will toward the lieutenant governor.

“We worked very hard to work it out.

Mr. Scott was an absolute gentleman. He made me 100 percent whole,” he said.

“That was a long time ago. We moved on.

And to be honest with you, I’m a staunch Phil Scott supporter, and I’m gonna vote for him.”

Family Matters Sen. PATRICK LEAHY (D-Vt.) on Monday defended his daughter’s work as a lobbyist for the film industry, which has contributed hundreds of thousands of dollars to his reelection campaign.

“When you have family members who want to earn a living to support their family, they should be able to,” he told Seven Days.

ALICIA LEAHY JACKSON has worked for the Motion Picture Association of America since August 2011 and has served as its director of government affairs for the past 20 months. But until VTDigger.org’s JASPER CRAVEN uncovered the connection in a story published Sunday, it was largely unknown in Vermont.

Federal law prohibits senators’ immediate family members from lobbying an office-holding relative, but it permits them to lobby other lawmakers. According to disclosure forms, Jackson has personally lobbied Congress on copyright issues, which fall under the jurisdiction of the Senate Judiciary Committee. Leahy serves as the panel’s ranking member.

Jackson did not respond to requests for comment this week. A spokesman for the MPAA, CHRIS ORTMAN, said in a written statement that Jackson “does not, has not and will not lobby Sen. Leahy’s office, staff or the Senate Judiciary Committee.”

In Monday’s interview, Leahy bristled at the suggestion that Jackson shouldn’t lobby the senator’s peers. He said the two never discuss her work and that he had “no idea” what bills she supported. He added that he occasionally finds himself at odds with the MPAA. “Considering the number of things I’ve opposed, she’s probably not being promoted for me,” he said.

But if Leahy’s so tough on the movie industry, why is he one of its biggest beneficiaries?

According to data collected by the Center for Responsive Politics, Leahy and his political action committee have accepted five-figure campaign contributions this election cycle from all six MPAA members: Universal/Comcast ($71,950), Paramount Pictures/National Amusements ($71,900), Walt Disney ($43,500), 21st Century Fox ($38,200), Warner Brothers/Time Warner ($30,000) and Sony ($26,600).

The MPAA itself has donated $2,500 to Leahy’s reelection campaign, even as Jackson has served as its lobbyist.

Bent himself never registered as a lobbyist during his eight years at the Montpelier firm, but he worked for those who did: He says he started under nowretired lobbyist BOB SHERMAN, who has since established a super PAC backing Minter; Bent later worked under lobbyist KEVIN ELLIS, who has also left the firm.

“The KSE folks know Sue very well.

They were looking for a communications director, and I think my name just kept coming up,” Bent said.

The new flack went through an unusual hiring process. He was interviewed not only by Minter and her campaign manager, MOLLY RITNER, but by Emily’s List and the Democratic Governors Association — two Washington, D.C., organizations that appear to be playing a major role running Minter’s campaign.

Emily’s List did not respond to a request for comment. DGA spokesman JARED LEOPOLD, who conducted the interview, called his involvement standard practice.

“The decision on hiring is always up to the campaign,” he said.

Bent is hardly the only one with lobbying ties working for a gubernatorial bid.

His counterpart on the Scott campaign, spokesman ETHAN LATOUR, previously worked as a registered lobbyist for the Montpelier firm MMR. Even more scandalous? Latour once interned for Gov. PETER SHUMLIN.

“I’ve had contributions from the MPAA long before she worked for them,” Leahy explained.

That’s true. The organization gave him $4,900 during his last reelection campaign, in 2010.

Asked Monday whether he would release all communications between his office and the MPAA, Leahy declined.

“If anybody wants to release correspondence from me, they’re free to,” he said. “I’m not going to go back through and selectively find correspondence done with anybody — like, for example, the dairy producers in Vermont or you name it.”

Leahy provided a similar response last April when reporters asked for correspondence between him and alleged EB-5 fraudsters ARIEL QUIROS and BILL STENGER. According to the senator, his relationship with his lobbyist-daughter is “a matter of public record.” But, in fact, Jackson is not required to disclose that she is related to the senator — and there is no way for her to do so.

Pressed on the point, Leahy explained why he believed the relationship was clear: “Her name is Alicia. Leahy.

Jackson.”

Ah, that distinguished Irish name!

According to the Center for Responsive Politics, at least 11 other Leahys have registered as federal lobbyists in recent years.

But according to the senator’s spokesman, DAVID CARLE, only one of them is related: Alicia’s brother, KEVIN LEAHY, a former Downs Rachlin Martin attorney, who registered briefly in 2004 to lobby on behalf of Stowe businessman JOHANNES VON TRAPP. Following publication of the VTDigger story, Leahy’s Republican opponent, SCOTT MILNE, called the situation “a case study in how the system is rigged to benefit career politicians like Pat Leahy and their special-interest friends.” He said that, if elected, he would introduce a measure known as the “Leahy Rule” to ban senatorial relatives from lobbying any member of Congress or federal agency.

Leahy himself sounded disinclined to support such a proposal.

“So you’re saying they should be excluded from jobs that require all kinds of public scrutiny, reporting, that they’re qualified for, because a member of their family is in the Congress?” he asked.

“That’s a pretty interesting concept.”

Leahy added, “I’d love to see the law.

Have him send me a copy.”

wo dozen Lyndon State College students streamed into a community room last Thursday for a lunchtime meeting with top brass.

The topic? A proposal so big it could forever change their academic experience. Vermont State Colleges chancellor Jeb Spaulding is pushing a plan to merge Lyndon and Johnson State College under one president, with a single budget and accreditation.

But when it came time for questions, students had to be prodded to address Spaulding, Johnson president Elaine Collins and Lyndon interim president Nolan Atkins. A few polite inquiries trickled out until finally Connor Cyrus, a reporter-in-training with Lyndon’s broadcast television program, threw out a harder-hitting question: If students petitioned against the merger, would the board take them seriously?

“I think they would take it seriously, yeah,” Spaulding replied. “But that’s not the reaction I’ve heard.”

Indeed, there are no signs of protest from students, faculty or staff at either Johnson or Lyndon. But members of the college community do have a nagging fear that this sea change is coming at the speed of a tsunami.

The Vermont State Colleges Board of Trustees is poised to vote on the unification September 29 — even though a bi-campus advisory panel has barely started assembling questions about how the plan will work.

Spaulding argues that in the face of declining enrollment and stagnant state support, consolidating administrations is the best way to make use of diminishing revenue without cutting programs.

He insists a single entity will be stronger, without losing what makes each campus unique.

“A larger-sized institution will increase opportunities and supports for students with a more comprehensive curriculum, shared co-curricular learning opportunities, and more efficient use of support resources,” he wrote in a July letter announcing the plan.

“It feels a bit rushed,” said Shavonna Bent, a Johnson junior from Randolph who is president of the Student Government Association.

“Some students are concerned that if they need certain classes they’ll have to commute.”

Jeb Spaulding

“Why can’t we push it back … to make sure we do it right?” said Julie Theoret, chair of the math department at Johnson and a member of the unification advisory committee who is fielding concerns from colleagues.

“It felt like a done deal before we had any say in it,” said Jay Shafer, an associate professor who has taught at Lyndon for 12 years. He chairs the college’s nationally recognized Department of Atmospheric Sciences, a training ground for meteorologists.

Spaulding isn’t budging. In his second year as head of the state colleges system, he sees no reason to delay the vote, which he expects to pass.

If the board approves the move, Johnson and Lyndon would begin their merger July 1, 2017, with the process completed a year later, Spaulding said.

“What we’re talking about is unifying Lyndon State College and Johnson State College into one strong college with two distinct campuses,” Spaulding told students at Lyndon. The two northern Vermont campuses are 55 hard miles apart.

Students would have access to professors and activities at both campuses, to be overseen by Collins. But the Johnson Badgers and Lyndon Hornets would still field separate sports teams that would compete against each other. And the colleges would get a new name intended to reflect their new status.

Spaulding has heard the jokes about calling the new combo Lyndon Johnson State College. With all due deference to the 36th president, he said, “We’re not doing that.”

Spaulding insists the door remains open on many issues. He and other administrators have met numerous times with campus communities, are maintaining a unification web page, and have welcomed opinions and questions offered by email.

Spaulding, who spent 16 years as a Democratic state senator, eight as state treasurer and four as Gov. Peter Shumlin’s secretary of administration before becoming chancellor in 2015, said not having answers to all of the staff’s questions is a good thing. “When you tell them you don’t have all the answers, it makes them feel better,” he said.

That’s not how it feels to Shafer.

Calling Spaulding a “reasonable person” and emphasizing that the plan might work, Shafer said he worries that the volunteer unification committee doesn’t have time to vet the details.

“It all sounds good on paper,” Shafer said, adding, “People need to think what could go wrong. A lot of the leadership doesn’t want to talk about that.”

The list of unanswered questions is so long, “You’d need a whole encyclopedia,” Theoret said. Among them: Which departments will remain separate?

Will there be one registrar or two? Will faculty be forced to travel between campuses? Will students be offered rides to take courses at the other campus?

Spaulding has no qualms about deflecting these queries. Asked how much money the change will save or cost, he said, “We haven’t completed that to where we’re putting out a number right now.”

Spaulding plans to outline more details for the board of trustees before the September 29 vote. Asked last week whether that information would be public before then, Spaulding said he

Vermont’s EpiPen Problem Is About Price and Politics B Y ALI CI A FR EESE

ALICIA FREESE

cross the street from a Chinese buffet restaurant in downtown St. Albans, several men in pale blue shirts stood sentry outside a gated brick complex.

They were guarding a factory owned by what is likely the most maligned pharmaceutical company in the country at this moment: Mylan. The Pennsylvaniabased multinational jacked the prices of its EpiPens last month, sparking an uproar that has turned political.

In Vermont, patients, hospitals, insurers, schools and an already-strained Medicaid program are feeling the effects. Worse, the state provided a large sum of money to subsidize Mylan’s St. Albans manufacturing complex, which makes transdermal patches that deliver medicine through the skin.

The Vermont plant doesn’t make the EpiPen — a device that automatically injects epinephrine, a hormone that counteracts anaphylactic shock during allergic reactions — but every school is required to have the potentially lifesaving product on hand. When Mylan acquired the EpiPen in 2007, a single auto-injector went for $58. This year, Mylan, which effectively has a monopoly on the device, started selling packs of two for $600.

In an attempt to quell the controversy, Mylan announced August 25 that it would give individual consumers $300 discounts and put a cheaper, generic version on the market. But those concessions have so far failed to quiet intensifying criticism about inordinately high drug prices.

The Vermont Medicaid program spent $256,000 on the devices in fiscal year 2010, or $111 per script, according to data provided by the Department of Vermont Health Access. In fiscal year 2016, it paid five times as much per script — $557 — and spent $1.7 million overall.

Those figures don’t tell the full story, because the state gets a cost reduction on the sticker price in the form of a rebate.

State health officials can’t disclose the amount, according to DVHA’s pharmacy director, Nancy Hogue.

Whatever the price break, it isn’t enough, according to Rep. Chris Pearson (P-Burlington), who calls the EpiPen scandal “just the latest high-profile example of a really broken system.” Drugs cost more in America, he said, “for the

is the antibiotic doxycycline hyclate. Its price has increased 4,788 percent.

The new law also requires that drug manufacturers give the Attorney General’s Office “a justification for the increase in the wholesale acquisition cost, including all relevant information and supporting documentation.” The office will report its findings to the legislature in December, but that information will remain “exempt from public inspection.”

Pearson, who has pushed for more stringent legislation, said it’s a start: “Let’s at least shine a light on this, and, hopefully, other states follow our lead.

And then Congress will not be able to ignore the problem.”

Price increases hit the entire health care system, not just Medicaid. “The hospitals came into the budget hearings this year, and many of them cited rising pharmaceutical costs as the reason their budgets were over,” said Gobeille, who along with the other board members is charged with approving those budgets.

“Whenever any one part of the system grows at what I would say is a hyperinflationary rate, it takes money away from other priorities,” he noted.

Private insurers are affected, too, along with their premium-paying members.

Cory Gustafson, director of government and public relations for Blue Cross Blue Shield of Vermont, echoed Gobeille, noting that the amount the insurer spends on the EpiPen pales in comparison to payments for drugs such as Humira, an anti-inflammatory drug used to treat rheumatoid arthritis. Humira’s monthly list price of more than $4,000 has gone up 130 percent since 2011.

Like other private insurers, Blue Cross Blue Shield doesn’t pay that amount. It negotiates lower prices with the drug company through a pharmacy benefits manager, an intermediary with greater purchasing power. As with Medicaid, the discount is confidential.

Such “cost-mitigation measures” can serve as a smoke screen. After Mylan eased the economic pain for its individual customers, Senators Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) and Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) signed a letter with colleagues demanding more information. “When patients receive short-term co-pay assistance for

A lack of transparency around drug prices gives manufacturers the upper hand. Pharmaceutical companies typically defend their prices by claiming they’re necessary to defray the cost of developing new drugs. In the case of the EpiPen, Mylan blamed insurers for passing on the costs to consumers.

The company does $9.4 billion in annual sales.

Green Mountain Care Board chair Al Gobeille emphasized that “it’s not just the EpiPen”

putting pressure on health care costs in Vermont. In fact, even with the dramatic price increase, the state’s EpiPen bill for Medicaid looks downright modest compared to what it pays for some drugs. Last year, for instance, Seven Days wrote about Orkambi, a cystic fibrosis drug that cost $700 per daily dose, or $259,000 per patient annually. State officials estimated it would cost Medicaid about $8 million this budget year.

The federal government pays the lion’s share. Even so, Vermont’s portion of Medicaid expenses — $738 million last year and rising — has put serious pressure on the state budget.

In an attempt to do something about rising drug costs — or at least register its dissent — the Vermont legislature passed a law last year directing the Green Mountain Care Board to put together a list of costly prescription drugs that have seen dramatic price increases.

Last month, the state posted that list of 10 drugs online. It doesn’t include the actual prices but does document percentage increases over the last five years.

commended it for being “a great employer in Vermont.”

Outside the St. Albans facility last Friday afternoon, there were no signs of the EpiPen maelstrom. But there was plenty of evidence of how closely the pharmaceutical company guards information — whether about products or prices.

When a reporter started taking photos outside the complex’s eightfoot metal fence, several surly guards approached. They had questions, not answers. Eventually, one of them summoned a company employee who provided a scrap of paper scrawled with Mylan’s corporate phone number. A reporter’s calls were not returned. m

Three years ago, Gov. Peter Shumlin and Mylan CEO Heather Bresch stood side by side in St. Albans to celebrate the completion of Mylan’s expanded production center. The state had authorized up to $5.7 million for the company through the Vermont Employment Growth Incentive program, which disburses money in annual installments to businesses if they meet certain growth targets. According to VEGI executive director Fred Kenney, Mylan has received roughly half of the installments, which will continue through 2018 assuming it hits its targets. In late May, WCAX-TV

UVM Prof: Bias Response Team Threatens Free Speech on Campus B Y M O LLY WA LSH

SEVENDAYSVT.COM 09.14.16-09.21.16 SEVEN DAYS 18 LOCAL MATTERS

MATTHEW THORSEN

A

University of Vermont professor has waded into the national debate about academic free speech and political correctness with a broadside against the UVM team charged with investigating bias, discrimination and harassment on campus.

The Bias Response Team defines its mission in a broad, vague manner that could have a chilling impact on free speech and stifle debate of difficult issues, according to Aaron Kindsvatter, an associate professor in the UVM College of Education and Social Services.

“The language of the University of Vermont Bias Response Team really opens the doors for censorship of anyone of any ideological perspective who says something in class that could potentially offend somebody else,” Kindsvatter told Seven Days.

He made the same argument in an August 30 email to members of the UVM community, then forwarded his missive to two national groups, the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education and Heterodox Academy. Online commenters quickly characterized the UVM BRT’s powers as “Orwellian.”

UVM’s BRT was launched in early 2014 to augment existing protocols to process complaints about racism, sexism and homophobia on campus. Reports can be made online — anonymously — in an effort to hold people accountable for speech that hurts and intimidates others.

The group currently has seven members, including the UVM deputy police chief, the assistant director of the ALANA Student Center and the director of the UVM Center for Student Conduct.

It meets about once a month to review incidents after a staff member has sorted through reports to determine which ones rise to the level of “team involvement” and which should be referred to other university entities, according to UVM director of communications Enrique Corredera.

“The team approach and philosophy is that of educating and promoting further dialogue, and making appropriate referrals to other departments,” Corredera wrote in an email. “The team does not act as a sanctioning panel.”

Nor does it weigh in on classroom content, according to Annie Stevens, UVM’s vice provost for student affairs.

But at other universities around the country, bias response teams have entered the realm of lecture halls, triggering an intense debate about free speech on campus. Critics say they’re part of a suffocating trend — along with the labeling

Aaron Kindsvatter in UVM’s John Dewey Memorial Lounge

of classrooms as “safe spaces,” the use of “trigger warnings” before discussion of potentially offensive material, and the characterization of real or perceived slights as “micro-aggressions.”

Concerned with these trends, the University of Chicago issued a “statement on principles of free expression” four years ago that guarantees all members of the university community “the broadest possible latitude to speak, write, listen, challenge, and learn.” It asserts that the university’s role is not to shield individuals from ideas and opinions they find unwelcome, disagreeable or even deeply offensive.

Chicago followed up this summer with a welcome letter to freshmen saying that the

school does not support trigger warnings or intellectual safe spaces where “individuals can retreat from ideas and perspectives at odds with their own.” The much-shared letter has become something of an internet sensation.

Earlier this month, the president of the University of Northern Colorado announced that she would dismantle the bias response team there because the group told an adjunct professor to stick to safe topics. His lecture had offended a transgender student.

No specific incident is driving Kindsvatter’s campaign, he said during a conversation in his sparsely furnished office at Mann Hall last week, where he plans his lectures for graduate education

students training to be school counselors and psychotherapists.

It doesn’t appear to be politically motivated, either. Kindsvatter intends to vote for Hillary Clinton in the presidential elections and says he supports gay rights — he’s looking forward to his sister’s upcoming marriage to a woman. But he doesn’t necessarily align with the Democrats anymore, or liberals in general.

“In my snarkier moments, I think of myself as a recovering progressive,” explained the 45-year-old professor. “At my best moments, I think of myself as a Libertarian who is deeply concerned with the welfare of other people.”

To that end, Kindsvatter plans to ask the union that represents the UVM faculty to adopt the same academic freedom statement that is in place at the University of Chicago. He also wants the UVM administration to adopt new language and procedures for the BRT. The definition of bias is too broad, and the fact that people can report alleged bias anonymously is just plain wrong, Kindsvatter said.

Calling it “crazy making,” he said such an approach “certainly does not create an atmosphere that is healthy and safe for interrogation of thorny ideas.”

During a Monday night lecture, Kindsvatter practiced what he’s preaching by asking 25 graduate students what they thought of his email. Animated and athletic, he stood before them in a short-sleeved sports shirt and khaki-colored pants, his hipster beard flecked with gray.

Some suggested that UVM and other schools created bias reponse teams partly to ward off litigation. Another said she got fired from a job after complaining about a sexist boss and suggested that a bias response team might have helped in that situation. Others agreed with Kindsvatter’s contention that the UVM BRT’s powers are too broad but worried that narrowing the scope would leave students vulnerable. The goal should be to foster conversations that are “productive and not blatantly hurtful,” one student said.

In a booming voice, Kindsvatter responded, “Really good point,” and then proceeded to disagree.

“Your feelings are not what’s important,” he explained. “Your mind is what’s important.”

Free and open discussion is the best way to attack bad ideas, Kindsvatter said. UVM’s system, he continued, “is begging to be misused by people who have an ax to grind.”

During a break in the two-hour class, student Tyler Brassard said he thought Kindsvatter’s letter was well written and

The antipasto salad is just a memory, and now the shuttered Bove’s Café building could soon disappear, too.

Rick Bove, grandson of the Italian eatery’s founders, is proposing to demolish the restaurant building at 64 Pearl Street in Burlington to make way for a $14 million apartment complex. It would include two buildings, one with 39 units and another with 17 units, as well as a 60-car underground garage.

The development would add 50 net units of housing on the edge of downtown, after subtracting what would be lost in demolition. The proposal also calls for demolishing two 19th-century apartment houses around the corner, at 13 and 19 George Street.

The red brick General Stannard House on the corner of George and Pearl streets would be renovated, according to the application Bove filed with the city.

The restaurant, with its iconic 1940s art deco facade and pistachio interior, closed last December after serving up meatballs and red sauce for more than 70 years. It survived a 1960s urban renewal spree that razed much of Burlington’s Little Italy.

Over the decades, it served legions of hungry college kids, families and politicians.

The closure set off a local debate about what should happen to the building, and some suggested it be carted off to Shelburne Museum as a relic of Little Italy. Historic preservationists frowned on that, saying it’s best to keep historic properties in place.

The proposal is in the early stages, known as sketch plan review, and has not yet come before the city’s development review board.

At Campaign Kickoff, Milne Calls Leahy Beholden to Special Interests If Vermonters elect Scott Milne to the U.S. Senate this November, they will send a message to the nation that voters are fed up with professional Scott Milne politicians beholden to special interests, the candidate said Saturday as he kicked off his long-shot campaign against the Senate’s longest-serving member.

Milne, a 57-year-old travel agency owner who has never held elected office, is challenging 76-year-old Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.), who’s held the seat for 42 years.

“Vermont can lead the nation in changing our broken and dysfunctional U.S. Senate,” the Pomfret Republican said. “If I win this election, it can fundamentally change America — and the way elections are financed.”

Milne said he hasn’t asked anyone for money and has raised “less than $50,000.” Leahy, by contrast, has raised more than $4 million during the six-year election cycle.

Milne, who officially entered the race last May, held his campaign kickoff before about 100 supporters outside the Washington Town Hall in the rural Orange County community where he was raised.

“A lot of things in Washington, D.C., can be solved with values from Washington, Vt.,” he said.

Leahy spokesman Jay Tilton countered the notion that Milne is mounting a clean, naïve bid, arguing that the GOP nominee has “thus far run a 100 percent negative and issue-free campaign.”

“While Mr. Milne believes this race is about Sen. Leahy, Sen. Leahy believes this race is about the issues facing Vermonters,” Tilton said.

Two years ago, Milne launched his first statewide election campaign, challenging Democratic Gov. Peter Shumlin.

Surprising most political observers, he nearly defeated Shumlin, who soon after decided not to seek another term.

Milne said Saturday that his experience proving pundits wrong is what inspired him to take on Leahy.

The Burlington Town Center redevelopment cleared a major hurdle Monday night when the city council voted to approve a zoning amendment that will allow developer Don Sinex to build up to 14 stories high.

In a 7-4 vote, the council decided to increase the maximum building height permitted on the site of Burlington Town Center, from 105 feet to 160 feet. The height limit applies to a new zoning “overlay” district that also includes several surrounding properties.

The height change has been a major source of contention, with opponents arguing that it’s too tall and that the city shouldn’t change zoning rules to cater to one developer’s project, aka “spot zoning.”

Councilors Sharon Bushor (I-Ward 1) and Max Tracy (PWard 2), with support from Selene Colburn (P-East District) and Sara Giannoni (P-Ward 3), made a number of attempts to reduce the maximum allowable height and scale back the size of the district. After seven other councilors quashed their many amendments, those four councilors ultimately voted against the new district. (Councilor Chip Mason, the Ward 5 Democrat whose law firm is involved with the redevelopment, recused himself.)

“The height and the massing are incompatible with what I love about Burlington,” said Bushor. Tracy called the zoning change process a “charade,” suggesting proponents weren’t open to compromise.

Councilor Kurt Wright (R-Ward 4), who spoke at length in support of the zoning change and the mall project, said: “In order for Burlington to grow, we really don’t have a lot of land to grow out, so I think we need to have some room to grow up.”

Council President Jane Knodell (P-Central District) noted that Monday’s public forum marked the 10th public meeting on the downtown overlay district. There will be at least one more: The council must hold a meeting on the zoning changes, scheduled for September 29, before taking a final vote.

Shotgun Marriage? « P.15 Public Liberal Arts Colleges. Eighty-five percent of its students are from Vermont.

Retaining those distinct identities looms as the biggest challenge and risk in the unification plan. Students said they worry about class size, connection to faculty and even about the president.

Lyndon students called Bertolino “President Joe.” “Students knew him,” said Cassie Helmar, a senior from Marion, Mass., who is Lyndon’s Student Government Association president.

Last week, they took right to addressing Collins as “Elaine” and wanted to know how often she’d be on campus.

Collins told them she’ll have offices on both campuses. At Grand Valley State University in Michigan, where she was dean of the College of Education before coming to Johnson in 2015, she had five campuses and drove 40,000 miles a year.

“I’m very familiar with that kind of management,” she said.

Seemingly small things, such as where the president will be based, reflect larger concerns about how unification will alter campus life. What to name the consolidated institution is another example.

“The name Lyndon is what gets us jobs,” said Helmar, who hopes to work as a television videographer after graduation next year. “I think, keep the name so we don’t have to rebrand everything.”

Shafer, the meteorology chair at Lyndon, argued that the name is too important to leave to whim. “You mess with the brand, you mess with everything else. A little more care needs to be attached to changing the name,” he said.

“I don’t want it being done by people having a beer after a board meeting.”

A new name might be among the decisions the board makes September 29, along with the overall unification plan, Spaulding said. After that, he said, the 12-member unification advisory committee will remain in place to sort out how the merger affects specific programs, and the unions will begin bargaining on issues such as travel required between the two campuses.

But one thing seems clear: Unification will happen. And Spaulding is steadfast that the change will make Lyndon and Johnson stronger. “It’s going to be an evolution,” he said. “There’s plenty of time to adjust.”

Last week at Lyndon, he suggested that students from both campuses put on a musical performance for the legislature next year, one way to market the marriage to those who hold the purse strings. “A lot of people don’t know how special Lyndon and Johnson are,” he said. m Contact: terri@sevendaysvt.com

exhibition of artists at the mansion of the vice president of the United States.

Timothy’s artist statement read, “All the elements of my work and life distill down to this statement: ‘I just like to make stuff.’” In 1998 Timothy and his life partner, Susan Hurd, opened the Grannis Gallery in Burlington as a venue to showcase Timothy’s “stuff” and as a realization of their dream of creating and selling unique collections of designer jewelry. Together, they crafted a creative and successful business, earning the readers’ choice award from Seven Days for nine years, as well as JCK’s Top 10 Designer Jewelry Stores award. Timothy and Susan married in 1999. Ten years later, they closed the Grannis Gallery and opened Alchemy Jewelry Arts, a small artisan collective in the South End Arts District of Burlington.

Together, they continued to bring beauty to the community with Timothy’s inspired creations.

A celebration of Timothy’s life will be held on September 25, 2016, at 5 p.m. at the All Souls Interfaith Gathering in Shelburne. A private reception will follow. For those wishing to honor Timothy’s memory, please take a moment to give love to your family and friends and do something to make the world more beautiful.

Timothy was born November 24, 1949, in Hartford Conn., to the late Caroline Kinloch Bull Grannis of Georgetown, S.C., and the late Peter Edwards Grannis of Greenwich, Conn. He died on September 6, 2016, in Burlington, surrounded by his friends and family, after declining rapidly over this past year with early-onset Alzheimer’s.

Timothy is survived by his partner in business and in life, his loving wife, Susan Elizabeth Hurd. He is also survived by his daughter Genevieve Chesna Grannis Hathaway, and her husband, Keith Hathaway; his daughter Rebecca Eve Grannis, and her husband, Chapin Spencer; his stepson Will Idaho Hurd, and his wife, Biyokuri Bidameri. He leaves behind his grandchildren Kaylan Hathaway, Jarrit Hathaway, Zia Clara Grannis and Asa Ray Hurd. Timothy is survived by his loving brothers and sister and their spouses: Yissacher Granitsky (fka Peter Edwards Grannis Jr.) and his wife, Esther Granitsky; Anne Cleland Grannis and her husband, Lee Stephen Engdahl; Stephen Bull Grannis and his wife, Christina Lynn Grannis. He is also survived by many beloved nieces and nephews.

Timothy led a vibrant life full of creativity, humor and mischief. He enjoyed a childhood filled with adventure, fireworks and family.

When he was 12 years old, he began making jewelry with his father; this endeavor sparked a creative passion that would shape Timothy’s life’s work as a metalsmith.

Timothy graduated from Watkinson School in Hartford, Conn., winning first prize for his senior art project. During his two years at St. Lawrence University, he cultivated a community of radical friends, fought the system and made art. Timothy and his first wife, Victoria Graf, settled in Vermont in 1972, where they raised their two daughters. Timothy completed his degree at the University of Vermont and opened his first jewelry studio in Underhill, which he later moved to Essex in 1982. Through his studies with Heikki Seppa, a renowned Finnish metalsmith, he learned the art of anti-clastic forging. He was able to further develop his three-dimensional metal work through a grant he earned from the National Endowment for the Arts. He was also honored to be selected for a special

sense in light of the art inside, which, at the time of Seven Days’ visit, Evans and Emlen were still hanging.

Birds and other animals, typically out of scale with their surroundings, populate the couple’s colorful, figurative paintings. Zanes’ work, often inspired by dollhouses, depicts castles and other structures set among towering flowers. Birds figure literally large in Saaf’s work, sometimes the size of the humans who share the canvas.

The artworks invite viewers to guess at the stories they tell, and they seem to speak to children and adults equally. They could be parables, as the exhibition title

indicates, but that’s not the only interpretation. The artists derived that title from Goethe’s Faust, which also serves as the basis for a single marionette performance they’ll give near the end of the show. In the translation that Zanes and Saaf use, the relevant excerpt reads, “Everything destructible could only be a parable.”

While both artists explore storytelling, they do so using distinct styles.

Zanes’ paintings lean toward dreamlike surrealism; Saaf’s are more folk-influenced and often contain a layering of stories.

Behind each bird he paints, for example, is a ghostly human face in outline, seemingly made of gusts of wind. Do these

refer to folk beliefs or perhaps to the underlying destructibility of life itself?

It’s unclear.

In one room, Zanes’ working fortune teller — a carnivalesque lighted glass box on wheels containing the bust of a crowned female figure — spits out actual fortunes when cranked. Like the paintings, it is an invitation to participate in narrative making.

The Kent’s 14 rooms, including an upstairs ballroom where the marionettes and stage have been set up, are packed with the couple’s works. This is an enormous show, and the sense of submersion in dream worlds is aided by the venue itself. Its interior walls are exposed lath and partially restored plaster, halted mid-work. A feeling of in-betweenness resides everywhere.

“This is not a gallery with pristine white walls and spotlighting,” Emlen pointed out. “We let the building dictate what gets hung where.”

he KENT MUSEUM, a row of connected 1830s structures built

by Abdiel Kent in Calais, is open to the public only about one month a year. The occasion is Art at the Kent, an annual show of Vermont artists’ work curated by ALLYSON EVANS, NEL EMLEN and state curator DAVID SCHUTZ. The current show, which opened last weekend, aims to make of the former stagecoach stop and country store a kind of dream world. Called “Parables,” the exhibit features paintings and sculptures fashioned from gourds and other materials, plus marionettes and a folding stage, all made by the Brattleboro couple JULIA ZANES and DONALD SAAF. Visitors who venture to the tiny unincorporated community will first see two giant bird’s nests. Positioned on the lawn in front of and behind the buildings, they were built from tree branches and hay by schoolchildren under Zanes and Saaf’s guidance. The project makes

The Vermont Division for Historic Preservation once planned to turn the Kent into a museum about country life. In 2001, Schutz, Emlen and Evans, who all live within sight of the building, joined other neighbors to form Historic Kents’ Corner, a private nonprofit that helped augment state funding for restoration. The state managed to restore the brick exteriors and install handicapaccessible features, but it ran out of money for the project in 2008.

That’s when Evans, Emlen and Schutz, all trained in art, hit on the idea of showing local artists’ work. The area had plenty of artists but few galleries, they noted. And the Kent presented some interesting challenges. As Schutz put it during a phone call, “We discovered that the bare-bones state of the building offers a unique presentation for contemporary art. And we think that’s possibly a more exciting mission than the original one.”

During our visit, Evans and Emlen were still finding intriguing details in the works. As Evans entered a room containing enough wall space to hang two of the four large-scale paintings comprising Zanes’ series “The Golden Game,” she noticed something she hadn’t seen before. In one of the works, the tree growing upside down in the attic of a house continues in a “ghost tree” branching into the dusk above the pitched roof.

“Nothing is clear at first glance,” Evans commented about both artists’ work.

Appropriately, the Faust-inspired performance, “The Green Gold Tree,” will take place at dusk. Zanes will work the puppets while Saaf plays guitar in his accompanying Bluebird Orchestra.

Art at the Kent also includes a Sunday afternoon reading series at the nearby Old West Church. Called “Words Out Loud: Poetry & Parables, Fantasy &

Fables,” the series is organized by Evans and poets MARY ELDER JACOBSEN and JODY GLADDING. This Sunday’s reading is by young-adult authors LAURA WILLIAMS MCCAFFREY and WILLIAM ALEXANDER, the latter of whom won the National Book Award for Young People’s Literature in 2012. Readings are followed by receptions at the Kent.

This year’s exhibit seems particularly suited to the venue, which has hosted past shows featuring up to 30 different artists. Zanes’ fascination with dollhouses echoes that of the woman who revived the Kent in the 1930s, Louise Andrews Kent. A Bostonian who had married into the family, she constructed and meticulously furnished a large dollhouse that now sits among Zanes’ paintings above the country store. Kent also made a series of tiny, individually furnished rooms that are on permanent display on the ground floor.

Altogether, the Kent is rich with

imagined worlds, both historical and dreamed, and is worth a visit.

“People who love historic buildings will wait all year to get into here, then say, ‘Wow, I like this art.’ And the opposite is true, too,” said Emlen, meaning that those who come for the art find themselves appreciating the history.

Of the hundreds of dancers auditioning, perhaps eight are accepted. This year, one of those dancers is from Jericho: 16-yearold JULIA SPENSLEY. She was invited to Moscow after completing the Bolshoi Ballet Academy’s summer intensive in New York City last month.

The Bolshoi Ballet is a behemoth in the dance world. The internationally renowned classical company, founded in 1776, even subsumes the notion of greatness in its name — “bolshoi” translates as “big, grand or great.” The company performs each season at the Bolshoi Theatre, which stands like a white, gilded, eightpillared icon of Russian culture in the heart of Moscow’s Theatre Square.

Inside, the stage spans a width of 68 feet

behind a red velvet curtain. Over the past decade, a massive reconstruction project has restored the hall’s historic elegance and brought it up to current technical standards.

The Bolshoi Ballet has had its share of scandals. Joy Womack, one of the first American ballet dancers to train at the academy and join the company postgraduation, left the troupe in 2013; she claimed a director had demanded $10,000 in exchange for a lead performance role.

Earlier that year, the Bolshoi’s artistic director, Sergei Filin, had acid thrown in his face, allegedly by a rival dancer. (A 2015 film, Bolshoi Babylon, examines this and other bitter relationships within the company, as well as the government’s entanglement with them.)

Outshining all that gossip, however, is the Bolshoi’s undisputed capacity for turning out ballet dancers such as current luminaries Natalia Osipova and Polina

Now that the rich offerings of summer chamber music have ended, classical fans can pencil in a new round of chamber concerts from CAPITAL CITY CONCERTS. Founded in Montpelier in 2000 by flutist KAREN KEVRA, CCC has presented repeat concerts in Burlington and Rutland venues in recent years. Now a Cornwall resident, Kevra is bringing the series to the Middlebury area for a test run. Three of this season’s five concerts will be performed at both the Unitarian Church of Montpelier and the Champlain Valley Unitarian Universalist Society in Middlebury.

Kevra’s programming is distinctive, and not just because works for flute appear on each program. She also mixes local musicians, such as pianist PAUL ORGEL of Shelburne and Craftsbury’s ROWELL sisters — MARY on violin and FRAN on cello — with visiting musicians from New York and Washington, D.C. Kevra houses the traveling musicians and cooks elaborate homemade meals for all. On this year’s docket are the Taiwanese American Formosa Quartet performing György Ligeti; and the New York-based pianist-cellist couple Jeewon Park

and Edward Aaron, both Shostakovich experts.

The Ligeti — the Romanian composer’s first string quartet — opens the program of one of the three repeated concerts. Inspired by the music of Ligeti’s fellow countryman Béla Bartók, the work is subtitled Métamorphoses Nocturnes. It indeed evokes a night that morphs from haunting to otherworldly.

Kevra first heard Formosa perform the 1954 piece during a turn as director of the concert series Summer Music From Greensboro; she was “riveted.”

Says Kevra, “When you hear modern music for the first time, you either (a) don’t like it, or (b) think, Maybe I’ll warm to it on a second hearing. But this had an immediacy to it, a cinematic quality.”

The Ligeti establishes the theme for the March concert, called “Night,” which also includes Orgel playing Chopin and Britten nocturnes.

The season-opening concerts this weekend, titled “The Dove and the Hawk,” bring together five works about peace and war, including a reprise of the flutist’s 2013 commission, Teta by Mohammed Fairouz. The title means “grandmother,” and the piece honors the

Semionova. The academy’s graduates are among the most coveted, talented and well trained in the world.

In the Soviet era, according to the Russian American Foundation, noted Russian dancers tended to ditch their homeland to find artistic success in the West. Beginning in the early 2000s, a slight movement in the opposite direction started when the Bolshoi Ballet Academy loosened its Russian-only policy to accept a small number of

Middle Eastern heritage that Fairouz and Kevra share, as well as their Arabic grandmothers.

CCC’s new commission is from another young composer and performer, Marshfield double-bass player EVAN PREMO, who directs SCRAG MOUNTAIN MUSIC with his wife, soprano MARY BONHAG. Scheduled to conclude the April concert, Premo’s work will put locally submitted poems on the theme of gardening to music for soprano, piano, double bass and flute. The concert, called “Poem Music,” corresponds with Montpelier’s Poem City event. It includes Bonhag singing Debussy’s Fêtes galantes.

As CCC’s artistic director, Kevra occasionally leaves the programming to musicians. A fan of violinist Laurie Smukler, who is on the faculty at the Juilliard School, Kevra invited her to Vermont for the final concert in May. Smukler has programmed a Brahms sextet, a Mozart flute quartet and Schoenberg’s Verklärte Nacht, and will bring along the musicians with whom she’s chosen to play.

Otherwise, Kevra says, “We put together concerts really just for our audience.” As a result, the musicians “absolutely have the feeling that they’re playing for the home crowd. And they love it.”

At age 12, she began supplementing her Celtic repertoire with classes at the ELAN ACADEMY OF CLASSICAL BALLET in Essex Junction.

“I really fell in love with it,” Spensley recalls. “A year later, I began training at VERMONT BALLET THEATER [SCHOOL CENTER FOR DANCE]. My teacher was ALEXANDER NAGIBA;

he’s Ukrainian, but he’s trained all over the place in Russia.”

And, she adds, “He always wanted me to train with the Bolshoi.”

At her audition in Boston, Spensley recalls, she was struck by evidence of the Vaganova method, named for the training regime created by late Russian dancer and teacher Agrippina Vaganova. “At the Bolshoi, they’re very particular about how everything is done,” she relates. “At other places, it’s a lot about how many

turns you can do or how high your leg Russian students attend the Bolshoi Ballet is.

THE STRAIGHT DOPE BY CECIL ADAMS

Dear Cecil,

o doubt it’ll thrill American exceptionalists right down to their red, white and blue blood cells to learn that yes, the so-called “risk-taking gene” you reference is indeed more prevalent in the population of North America than on some other continents. But is this scientific proof that the U.S. truly is a nation of rugged individualists, that our DNA itself spurred us across the ocean to liberty? Hmm. Let’s pump the brakes here a bit, patriots, and look a little closer at the gene they call DRD4.

What sounds like the name of a toy droid at a dollar store is actually shorthand for Dopamine Receptor D4. Like many genes, DRD4 comes in several alternative forms, or alleles. About 65 percent of the population has the version where a certain nucleotide sequence repeats four times, and you don’t read much about these normies in the popularscience press. Everyone’s way too busy talking instead about

the less-common DRD4 variant, carried by about 20 percent of humans, that repeats seven times — which, assorted studies suggest, may predispose its bearers to seek out novelty and risk.

Though experts in behavioral genetics fruitlessly caution us not to treat our DNA profile as though it’s some science-approved version of astrology, just about any nonplaying-it-safe behavior you can display — substance use, gambling, general impulsiveness — has been linked to the DRD4-7R allele in a scientific study, with varying degrees of confidence, and then shouted about in the press, with varying degrees of accuracy. Thus we see a slew of stories in which DRD4-7R is billed variously as the “wanderlust gene” that drives you to splurge on exotic vacations, or the “slut gene” that makes you less likely to go home alone at closing time.

However it may affect people’s conduct, the 7R allele isn’t scattered evenly worldwide.

Back in 1999 researchers at UCIrvine published the first study to find an association between higher incidence of the long DRD4 allele and long-distance prehistoric migration. A 2011 paper crunched the numbers finer and came up with similar results — showing, essentially, that the greater distance a population had migrated from Africa, the site of human evolution, the more common the 7R allele would be within it. (I say “essentially” because the 7R percentage in Asia is quite low — they’re still puzzling over that one.) But that doesn’t mean we know why or how 7Rs thrived in some areas more than in others.

And we’ll be pretty much left guessing about that, unless somebody uncovers a longburied stash of prehistoric diaries and psych evaluations.

It’s not too tough to imagine how an inclination toward thrill-seeking, or other apparent 7R-associated traits (many of which we consider symptoms of ADHD), could play a

role in a large-scale migration scenario, where natural selection might well favor the antsy adrenaline junkies and thin out the placid 4Rs who’d followed them into the unknown. Any such benefits may be contextdependent: Among the Ariaal tribe in present-day Kenya, 7Rs who live as nomadic herders are on average better nourished than non-7R nomads, but 7Rs who’ve settled down don’t eat as well as the other villagers.

So though there’s likely some relationship between migration and 7R, we can’t jump from there to saying that 7Rs’ innate adventurousness drove them to travel further than their fellows. Which means we should be careful about assuming that a 7R gene is what keeps people wandering today.

Of course, you don’t need to be a geneticist to recognize an online screed headed “Why Middle Eastern Migrants in Europe Will Tend to Be Rapists and Criminals” for exactly what it is. (Yes, that’s really the title of a 7R post by some right-wing evolutionary-psychology blogger; you’d hope even the most credulous ev-psych fan would know enough to steer clear of creeps like this.) Current

events should remind us that people choose to migrate for all sorts of reasons, and choose not to migrate for just as many. If we’re just talking genetic predisposition, someone prone to taking risks might well decide to stay behind in Syria and fight, for instance.

The impact of genetics on behavior is too complex to be boiled down to a single “migration gene”-type mechanism, but with every new scientific discovery we go through the same rigamarole: Scientists publish papers suggesting correlations; journalists and other lay writers read no further than the abstract and sensationalize what they believe to be the findings; scientists rush back in waving their arms saying, No, you can’t quite say that. Lather, rinse, repeat.

In other words: If you’re a high school smart-ass figuring you’ll pull your history teacher’s chain by answering “Why did the Pilgrims leave England?” with a snappy “Because DNA,” know that your risky behavior is likely to result in a low exam score. What if, despite that knowledge, you can’t help yourself? Feel free to blame your genes. Everyone else does.

Fountain statues

Burlington City Hall’s Church Street fountain

was erected in City Hall Park in 1881.

That fountain was replaced on July 4, 1976, with the current one, which incorporated an old horse trough that once sat at the top of Battery Street.

The animal-themed fountains in front of city hall were designed by the late Brattleboro artist and sculptor Frank Stout (1926-2012). Stout, whose works can be found in such diverse venues as the Vermont Statehouse, the Wichita Art Museum in Kansas, and the U.S. embassies in Brazil and Peru, initially proposed two abstract female nudes. But city councilors and Burlington’s newly elected mayor, Bernie Sanders, deepsixed Stout’s concept as “unrecognizable and inappropriate subject matter.”

Back at the drawing board, Stout conceived alternative designs that were, if not warmer, at least fuzzier: one of a deer buck, the other of a mother bear frolicking with her cub, cast in bronze and mounted on granite. Those fountains, unveiled in 1982, ran intermittently for years before the plumbing needed retrofitting in 2008. By 2012, however, the water was switched off for good.

Why? Martha Keenan, the city’s capital improvement program manager, explains that a small, hard-to-reach leaky pipe is buried beneath several tons of granite.

“It was losing about 100 gallons a day,” she says, “and we didn’t feel it was a very good thing to waste that much water.”

Keenan expects the fountains to be repaired in the next two years, as part

of the renovation of city hall and the adjoining park. While that construction is under way, the city will also remove the existing fountain in City Hall Park, thanks in large part to a $500,000 gift announced last October by Tony and Rita Pomerleau.

Todd Greenough, Burlington’s facility maintenance manager, who maintains the city’s four fountains, won’t be sorry to see that one go.

“They’re actually all pretty high maintenance because of the environment,” says Greenough, who estimates that he and his staff spend nearly eight hours each week just keeping the fountains running. Routine maintenance includes removing, cleaning and reinstalling their filters, “which gets pretty disgusting.”

Greenough points out that the fountains are also frequent targets for vandals, who pour liquid soap in them, filling them with suds. Maintenance workers then have to drain them, apply a de-foamer, and refill. That’s particularly problematic for the City Hall Park fountain, whose old, underground lines have deteriorated and are difficult to access.

“We can’t leave those lines charged [with water], because they leak so badly and they back drain into the basement of city hall,” Greenough explains. Even refilling them “gets complicated real quick.”

He suggests that the fountain be replaced by a dry public sculpture — say, one with decorative LED lights

old weather will soon turn Burlington’s four decorative fountains into empty troughs for seven months. Meanwhile, one reader recently asked: Why haven’t the wildlife-themed dual fountains in front of Burlington City Hall functioned for years? Unlike those in City Hall Park and on Battery Street, which for half the year double as kiddie pools, communal dog bowls and, occasionally, bathtubs for vagrants, the Church Street fountains have remained bone-dry for a very long time. WTF? The short answer is, the twin bubblers that flank City Hall’s east entrance have suffered a fate similar to that of previous Queen City water spouts: Time and Vermont’s punishing climate have made them extremely costly and timeconsuming to maintain. The fountains are expected to eventually run again — though city maintenance workers probably won’t lose any sleep if they don’t.

First, some history: Decorative water fountains are among humanity’s oldest public art forms, dating back to ancient Greece and Crete. From Roman times into the Renaissance, decorative fountains have depicted gods, generals, biblical figures and cherubs who gleefully tinkle in the public water supply.

The first public fountains in the United States, which date to the mid1800s, were installed to provide the public with clean drinking water, in response to frequent cholera outbreaks.

The first such fountain, dedicated in Manhattan’s City Hall Park in 1842, shot water 50 feet into the air. It delivered to New Yorkers a continuous stream piped from the then-recently completed Croton reservoir and aqueduct.

By the 1880s, decorative fountains were spouting throughout New York City, Boston, Philadelphia and other major cities. But, as Joe Satran points out in his 2015 Huffington Post piece “13 Weird Moments in the History of Water Fountains,” it wasn’t until the early 20th century that anyone realized how unhygienic it was for everyone to drink from the same tin cup, which was typically chained to each fountain. Ick! Public watering troughs, for horses and humans, were fairly common in 19th-century Vermont. According to data from the University of Vermont’s Historic Preservation Program, Burlington’s first decorative fountain

Why Don’t the Burlington City Hall Fountains Ever Work?

that respond to music. It would be far cheaper to maintain and, unlike the current fountain, could operate year-round.

That would be preferable from a public health perspective, too. As the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report, public fountains are veritable petri dishes of microscopic nastiness, commonly harboring E. coli, giardia, cryptosporidium and norovirus.

While heavily chlorinated public swimming pools are subject to water-quality standards, none exist for decorative fountains, although people and their pets routinely play in them.

These days, moreover, decorative fountains aren’t the draw they were in the time of cholera. A contemporary one at the top of Church Street, installed in 1994, was removed and bricked over in May 2013. It was a hindrance to attracting new retailers to the top block, explains Church Street Marketplace executive director Ron Redmond.

Greenough and his crew may not get their way in City Hall Park, where the Pomerleaus’ gift specifically included an earmark for a children’s splash park. But hope springs eternal.

t may be human to err, but it’s also human to get things very right.

That is, to pour devotion and diligence into a chosen endeavor until it is as close to perfect as possible. Just weeks ago in Rio de Janeiro, the world watched, mesmerized, as a multitude of athletes performed stunning physical feats. In the coming months and much closer to home, other types of performers — musicians, dancers, thespians, acrobats, comedians — will share their own varieties of near-perfection on smaller stages. And the rest of us will watch.

Hey, performing arts season: Welcome back!

From medieval music to cutting-edge jazz, from Broadway blockbusters to improv comedy, from gospel to guys on ice skates — yes, really — the range of human creative endeavors is astonishing. What drives people to perform? And why do we love to bear witness?

We asked these questions of some local experts in the actor-audience equation: performing arts presenters. Their responses were thoughtful and spot-on.

“Ask a performer, and they’ll say they can’t not perform,” said Margaret Lawrence, programming director at the Hopkins Center for the Arts at Dartmouth College. “It’s urgent, compelling — it would be unthinkable not to.

They certainly don’t do it for the money,” she added with a wry laugh.

Lawrence noted, too, that the interaction between performer and audience matters. “In an intimate setting — even in a big one — performers are aware of you.

Performance is one art form that is simultaneously created and consumed.”

“Telling stories is the base,” said Steve MacQueen, artistic director of the Flynn Center for the Performing Arts.

And, he added, the converse is true: “Everyone likes to hear stories.”

Every performer is a kind of storyteller, even if their art form is nonverbal. With or without words, some shows evolve with a topical urgency. “FLEXN is a great example,”

Top to bottom: Cirque Mechanics' Pedal Punk and 42nd Street

BY S E VE N D AY S S TA F F

said Lawrence, referring to the New York-based troupe that addresses issues of social and racial injustice — in particular, the police shootings of black men — through an electrifying form of street dance. “Their performance is created out of a sense that there was no other way for people to express the emotions of what’s going on,” she said. “It can bring people into this space that’s different than just talking.”

To that point, University of Vermont Lane Series director Natalie Neuert noted the fortuitous presence of “cultural journeys” in her programming this year. “I didn’t set out to book world music, but the performers who really spoke to me were performers who traveled these distances,” bringing a story from their part of the world, she said. “It’s a conduit that carries a cultural history forward in time.”

Neuert agreed that storytelling is “one of the most fundamental ways of receiving information and cultural understanding. Plus,” she added, “it’s sheer entertainment — you don’t think about the clock for a couple of hours.”

Witnessing virtuosity, of course, is thrilling and uplifting. And, as Neuert noted, “No matter how scripted, in live performance there’s always a degree of spontaneity. I think people are excited by that.”

But whether you’re moved to tears by a violin solo or a standup comedian, the experience is different when it’s shared. “The act of going out and gathering together, it’s an ancient thing,” observed Neuert.

“In this day and age, it’s quite easy to just go home and make connections digitally,” said Lawrence, “but that’s not fulfilling a human need. It’s really important to make human connections.”

Violinist Hilary Hahn, 36, has progressed from child prodigy to new-music champion to one of the most admired and widely known violinists of our day. Among her Vermont ties are several summers at the Marlboro Music Festival and an extended collaboration with Vermont Symphony Orchestra conductor Jaime Laredo while at the Curtis Institute of Music.

Nonetheless, the news that she’s coming to the Hopkins Center in March to perform a solo program with pianist Robert Levin is a stunner. While Hahn appears regularly with famed conductors and their orchestras around the world, her solo appearances are limited. Says Hop programming director Margaret Lawrence, “It took us several years to score one.”

Hahn eschews the stuffy atmosphere of classical concerts, preferring audiences to come in “jeans and chains,” as she once put it. For her 2015 Grammywinning recording In 27 Pieces: The Hilary Hahn Encores, she commissioned 26 composers to write encores for solo violin. (The 27th was chosen in an open competition with 400-plus entries.) Encores are like “candy,” Lawrence points out; they’re just fun.

One Pieces contributor, the Spanish composer Antón García Abril, wrote the partita for solo violin that Hahn will play at the Hop between three works for violin and piano by Bach, Mozart and Schubert.

Levin will play his own contemporary commission by the Romanian Hans Peter Türk. The question is, which encore will Hahn play?

Shakespeare’s Macbeth depicts a politician who gets it in his head that he could be all-powerful. He becomes dangerously ambitious; he acts irrational, even insane. With his back against the wall, he grows paranoid, convinced of conspiracies against him. He clutches at straws, hoping that the fates, who have always been kind to him, will somehow redeem him. We don’t know anything about that in 2016.

Middlebury Actors Workshop will produce a 95-minute, nointermission Macbeth this fall in three locations. Director Melissa Lourie insists that it wasn’t just the presidential election that inspired her (though you may find not-so-subtle references to Donald Trump in the famed porter scene). “It’s the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare’s death,” she explains. “When I heard that Craig Maravich was in town, I knew I wanted him to be Macbeth.”

Equity actor Maravich is currently a visiting assistant professor at Middlebury College and a lecturer in theater at the University of Vermont.

And the leading lady? Enter Burlington actor Chris Caswell, who calls the part of Lady Macbeth “one of my dream roles.”

Lourie’s production is set in a pretechnological era with, as counterpoint, an original electronic soundscape by Middlebury College music professor Peter Hamlin.

But the mustachioed comic, podcaster, writer, actor and director is just as likely to bring the fresh and unfamiliar to his 2016 “The Too Real Tour.”

Maron is as comfortable monologuing about global warming and Chinese economics as he is confiding in his audience about more mundane affairs — the challenges of aging, the hassle of a forgotten toothbrush, his devotion to his two cats.

It’s a formula that’s found success. Maron’s podcast, WTF With Marc Maron, which features celebrity interviews recorded from his LA garage, has hit No. 1 on the iTunes comedy section several times. Maron has appeared on Conan O’Brien’s late-night shows more than any other standup comedian. In 2015, he hosted President Barack Obama on his podcast. (Maron described the presidential visit as “a big day for our country, for me and for my cats.”)

Last winter, the Atlantic championed the 52-year-old as a “recovering monologist.” Indeed, Maron tempers his clever, self-deprecating wit with a selfawareness and sensitivity learned from his interviewing. The combination is sure to yield a set of what the Atlantic calls “brilliant mistakes.”

Monday, March 27, 7:30 p.m., Flynn MainStage, $15-70.

The national tour of Broadway blockbuster 42nd Street will tap-dance its way to the Flynn — and into the hearts of Vermont musical lovers — next spring. Its story focuses on a ragtag group of actors put out of work by the Great Depression. When a director decides it’s high time to put on a show, the performers work themselves into a frenzy — particularly Peggy Sawyer, the young protagonist trying to make it in the Big Apple.

She gets her chance when a lead actress in the show breaks her ankle, leaving room for our ingénue to become a Broadway sensation.

42nd Street first came to the stage in 1980 and is based on a 1933 Busby Berkeley film of the same name. The play features showstopping dance numbers, swelling love ballads and songs that have become part of the canon, including “Lullaby of Broadway” and “I Only Have Eyes for You.” With all that and a come-from-behind American dream story, it’s no wonder the musical still gets us right in the feels.

As the Salt Lake Tribune puts it, “42nd Street is so chock-full of entertainment that it barely fits on the stage.” And you don’t have to leave Vermont to see it.

Marionettes have been around since ancient Egypt.

In the 18th century, serious composers wrote operas specifically for puppets on strings. Mozart grew up watching those operas. Lewis Carroll composed and performed them to amuse his siblings.

Here in Vermont, the art form is still going strong, thanks to Dan Baginski and Barbara Paulson, who have been touring the country as No Strings Marionette Company since 1997. The Randolph-based couple creates original puppets and scenery. And when the two perform, they remain in full view so audience members can see exactly what they’re doing to manipulate their puppets.

No Strings shows are family friendly and full of life.

In Jack and the Beanstalk, Baginski and Paulson note, “The stage is hardly big enough to contain the one-ofa-kind, handcrafted marionettes, let alone the ravenous, rummaging giant.”

In Wasabi, a Dragon’s Tale, which the Hopkins Center for the Arts will present in Claremont, N.H., the puppeteers turn the classic fairy tale on its head: A clever princess saves her kingdom from a fire-breathing beast who has run off with her prince.

“The jewel-like setting of [the] stage, in combination with [the] incredible puppets and wonderful stories,

MORE THAN JUST MATTRESSES!

created a level of artistry that was pure magic,” raved Gene Nelson of Waterbury’s the Children’s Room early education resource center after one performance. “The children were spellbound!”

Each show begins with a sing-along and ends with a Q&A, during which kids can get a closer look at the puppets.

Despite the company’s name, there are strings attached to these marionettes. But, as Baginski and Paulson declare on their website, “Once the mind believes there are no strings … this realm becomes real and the adventure begins.”

Before Romeo and Juliet, there was “Layla and Majnun.” The 11thcentury Middle Eastern story, whose original title loosely translates to “possessed with madness for Layla,” tells of a man driven insane when parental forces attempt to keep him from the love of his life. Now the Mark Morris Dance Group presents an opera version of the tragic tale.

The Brooklyn-based troupe, known for its commitment to pairing live music with its productions, will dance to instrumentation by

members of Yo-Yo Ma’s prestigious Silk Road Ensemble. Esteemed Azerbaijani singers Alim and Fargana Qasimov, two of the foremost talents in the improvisational mugham vocal style, will join in.

The timing — bringing an Eastern fable to the Western stage amid rising nationalist tides across the world — is not coincidental. On his website, Morris asserts that “Love, acceptance, devotion and peace are the ruling aesthetics of this production.”

Vermonters seeking a patch of heat come February won’t have to go far: Choreographer Moses Pendleton is bringing his desert-themed show Opus Cactus to three venues. The luscious dance features colorfully costumed performers emulating the flora and fauna of the American Southwest.

Vermont native Pendleton grew up in Lyndonville and attended Dartmouth College before starting his own company, Pilobolus, upon graduation in 1971.

He later left that company to launch Momix, which now tours around the world with multiple troupes.

The choreographer’s work is renowned for its brilliant use of acrobatics, body sculpture and humor.

Opus Cactus, originally conceived for Ballet Arizona, benefits from an original score influenced by desert-based communities across the world. In a 2001 interview with the New York Times, Pendleton explains: “The music is more global-desert now.

There’s a little of the Gobi there. The Sahara. The piece is a walk in a desert botanical garden. Surreal impressions.”

PHOTOS COURTESY OF FREDERIC SILBERMAN

In his mini-documentary about “Tales From the Forgotten Kingdom,” international musician and composer Guy Mendilow describes the work as a “21stcentury global take on beautiful old music and legends” about “vagabond queens, pauper poets and lovers lost to the sea.”

The semi-theatrical performance is set in Mediterranean and Balkan communities that were largely destroyed during World War II. Its songs are sung in a nearly extinct Judeo-Spanish language of the Diaspora called Ladino, which Mendilow himself grew up singing as a boy in Jerusalem. Simultaneously mournful and joyous, these Sephardi melodies are sometimes as haunting as medieval prayers, at other times as raucously uplifting as an Israeli wedding reception.

The Guy Mendilow Ensemble is vibrantly percussive and melodic, composed of a truly international cast: Argentine vocalist Sofia Tosello; Americans Chris Baum on violin and Andy Bergman on woodwinds, jaws harps and electric mbira; and percussionist Tareq Rantisi of Ramallah, Palestine.

Mendilow, whose very surname sounds like a long-extinct musical instrument, is himself a man of the world, holding American, British and Israeli citizenships. Audiences come to this show, he says, to “embark on a journey to far-off times and faraway places. But through the experience, my hope is that

they leave with a spark of fascination for cultures that are little known in this country.”

S.I.N.siZZle

Young hip-hop fans in Burlington may find it hard to think of S.I.N.siZZle as anything but a hometown hero. Rapper, promoter and mentor to many young artists, he’s been performing locally — and winning rap battles — for more than a decade. But it was a long journey getting here.

S.I.N.siZZle was born in Ghana as Edwin Owusu in 1981. His family moved to New York City in 1993, and he spent his formative years in Harlem and the Bronx. Owusu came to the University of Vermont in 2001 to study political science. Here he met brash rapper and promoter Lee Anderson (not to be confused with the Radio Bean owner of the same name), and the duo began a run of raucous club shows and college parties as S.I.N. & Lee. When Anderson moved to New York, S.I.N.siZZle adapted. “I became a promoter out of necessity,” he says with a chuckle. “I was left with nobody to make those calls and get those connections, so I had to step up.”

Today, his Green Mountain Music Group promotion company brings in national names and provides a platform for local artists.

Named an up-and-coming rapper by Vibe magazine, S.I.N.siZZle is preparing to release an EP, America, that couldn’t be better timed. “Real Ghana to America lyrical rap is coming back,” he says, “and that’s always been where I’m at.”

Storm Large

Sunday, May 14, 7 p.m., KCP Presents at St. Johnsbury School Auditorium, $20-50; free for students.

Storm Large has a strong name and stronger pipes. The vocalist has recently been touring with fellow Portland, Ore., ensemble Pink Martini; on her own, she delivers an eclectic performance of jazz standards, cabaret and rock classics.

Large rose to national prominence after a stint on the CBS reality show “Rock Star: Supernova” in 2006. But she’d started making a name for herself long before that, having been singing and writing songs since about age 5. In the 1990s, in San Francisco, Large headlined several bands, including Storm and Her Dirty Mouth. After moving to Portland in 2002, she set aside plans to attend culinary school and began singing in area clubs.

Large published a memoir called Crazy Enough — an extension of her

autobiographical one-woman show — in 2012. The book, which Kirkus Reviews called “authentic and unapologetic,” details Large’s early years with a psychologically disturbed mother, her days as a competitive rower and her eventual success in music.

Indeed. Whether interpreting Olivia Newton-John’s “Hopelessly Devoted to You” — with less simpering and more sass — or belting a powerful rendition of Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah,” Large lives up to her name with animation and passion.

Born in a Guadalajara cantina, this groundbreaking Mexican sextet has captivated audiences around the globe. Theirs is a hypercharged fusion of post-rock, funk and electronica, made all the more explosive by the brassy swagger of mariachi horns. The sound might be called indefinable. But it’s precisely that air of mystery that defines Troker’s exotic allure.

Rolling Stone has hailed the band as one of the “top 20 Mexican artists breaking boundaries.” The website All About Jazz describes their live act as “noisy, chaotic, sprawling, messy … wonderful.” The New York City Jazz Record named Troker’s appearance at the 2015 Winter Jazzfest one of the best concerts of the year. All of which adds up to quite a bargain indeed.

Frenchman Vincent Ségal is an acclaimed classical cellist who has collaborated with everyone from Elvis Costello to Blackalicious. Ballaké Sissoko is a Malian kora player whose credits include working with Taj Mahal and Toumani Diabaté, among many others. Individually, they’re globally renowned as masters of their crafts. But when they perform together, Ségal and Sissoko are simply otherworldly.

Each player comes from a distinct and deeply rooted musical tradition. And there is something magical in the way the duo weaves disparate elements of those baroque and West African heritages into a grander tapestry. Ségal and Sissoko play with equal parts reverence for their artistic ancestry and appreciation of the present. Their music reflects an increasingly complex and interconnected world and a hope that, through our differences, we might find common ground.

As Bob Boilen, host of National Public Radio’s “All Songs Considered,” describes the musical union: “It’s simply delightful and uplifting to witness.” Or, more succinctly, “transcendent.”

Ousley was raised on the music of Appalachia. Jess Eliot Myhre, the group’s other songwriter and chief vocalist, had her musical epiphany while soaking up the vibrant street music of New Orleans. The two have been making music together since 2012, and in that time their band’s live show has exploded into an uproarious, thigh-slapping shindig.

Expect to see trombone, pedal steel and clarinet. Come for the swing, stay for the rock and roll.

There’s something revealing about a band that doesn’t care whether you preface its name with “the” — a variation that frequently appears online. Bumper Jacksons or the Bumper Jacksons: whatever.

Bushy-bearded Chris Ousley, one half of Bumper Jacksons’

Vermont Fur Trappers Propose Killing More Bobcats and Otters

Nurturing Self-Sufficiency through Education, Mentoring, Entrepreneurship and Community

In one year over 12,500 animals were trapped & killed in Vermont for sport, small monetary gain, and to fuel the fur industry.

Become a Mentor.

Now trappers are requesting an extension of bobcat and otter trapping seasons, which means more needless deaths and additional stress to these already fragile populations.

“Shatner’s World: We Just Live in It” Monday, October 17, 7:30 p.m., Paramount Theatre, $65-105.

WilliamShatner … is … well-knownfor … the … unusualcadence of … hisspeech … pattern. But there’s far more to the 85-year-old actor than offbeat elocution. After all, this is a man who has spent his entire career boldly going where no man has gone before.

Shatner is, of course, most famous for his role as Capt. James T. Kirk, star of the iconic American TV series “Star Trek”; last week marked the 50th anniversary of the campy sci-fi fave. He’s also an accomplished spoken-word recording artist — perhaps you’ve heard his spaced-out take on “Rocket Man” by Elton John? Shatner has written or cowritten more than 30 books, both fiction and autobiographies. He’s been the pitchman for the travel website Priceline since 1997 — or was until his character, the Negotiator, was recently killed off.

All of these experiences and more form the basis of Shatner’s one-man show “Shatner’s World: We Just Live in It.” He shares moments from his life onstage and off, which run the gamut from hilarious to heartfelt. These are the voyages of an unlikely star, offered through a lively mix of storytelling, humor and music as eccentric as the man himself. Live long and prosper.

Before we knew the names Freddie Gray, Sandra Bland or Trayvon Martin, there was Rodney King. Today, cellphone videos revealing police brutality of African Americans go viral almost weekly. So it can be hard to appreciate the seismic significance of the 1991 video that captured King’s violent beating by four Los Angeles police officers.

One year later, after the four cops were acquitted of all criminal charges, South Central LA erupted in angry spasms of violence. The so-called “Rodney King riots” left 55 people dead, at least 2,000 injured and more than $1 billion in property damage. They also seared King’s emotion-laden plea — “Can’t we all just get along?” — into the national consciousness.

For actor, writer, director and LA native Roger Guenveur Smith, (Malcolm X, American Gangster, Do the Right Thing), King was a seminal figure. As he told the Washington Post in 2014, he never met King in person but was deeply moved by the former taxi driver’s untimely death in 2012, at age 47, in a drug-related drowning.

Almost immediately afterward, Smith began work on Rodney King, a solo spoken-word performance that tries to untangle King’s troubled life and death — and why they affected Smith so personally.

Though much of the show is improvised, Smith delivers verbatim King’s plea to rioters to end the violence being perpetrated in his name. His now-famous oneline entreaty also included these less-famous words: “We’ll get our justice. They won the battle but they haven’t won the war.” In “Rodney King,” Smith continues that fight. His show is for mature audiences only.

t 1:27 p.m., when my friend Matt still hadn’t shown up for our one o’clock lunch plans, I figured he was lost. I imagined him steering his motorcycle around and around Essex Junction’s busy Five Corners intersection in search of Pork & Pickles Barbeque, the newish restaurant where we’d planned to meet. He doesn’t carry a cellphone, so I hoped he’d be resourceful, ask someone for help and wander in.

Meanwhile, I sat in the cool, comfort- Peach ice cream ably dim dining room sipping freshly squeezed lemonade through a blue-and-white paper straw. I daydreamed about the rich flavors of the smoked polenta I’d eaten on my visit the previous evening. I doodled pictures of pigs in my notebook. And then I got a call from Matt, saying he’d gone home because he couldn’t find the place.

P&P, which opened in June, is an addition to the Lazy Farmer “farm to trailer” food truck and catering company.

Chef-owner Chris Simard is known for his flavorful street food, such as kimchi tacos, lobster rolls, ramen and banh mi.

During the food truck’s tenure, Smoked polenta he has used meat from Misty store and a bakery, the restaurant is Knoll Farms, Boyden Farm and Snug Valley Farm in Hardwick. On more hard to spot, but our server mentioned recent Lazy Farmer menus, Simard has that a sign is coming soon. That’s good, taken to noting that all ingredients are because hungry diners should be able to locally and ethically sourced, rather than easily discover and enjoy this place.

After searching for better direclisting the names of individual farms.

I’m fairly fanatical about good barbe- tions, Matt headed back. Meantime, I cue, and I appreciate it even more when reexamined the brief lunch menu and it shows up in a town where a Vermont ordered a pulled-pork sandwich with food booster might not expect it. So I’d braised greens ($12) and a fried chicken been looking forward to dining at Pork sandwich with potato salad ($12). Both & Pickles.

DON HORRIGAN worked together as the opening chef and bartender, respectively, at EDSON HILL. There the duo nurtured a rare synergy between kitchen and bar, but, last fall, they parted ways.

Horrigan landed at KINGDOM TAPROOM, while Hanley signed on to open GAKU RAMEN in Burlington.

When they bumped into each other earlier this summer, they had plenty to catch up on. Over drinks, their conversation meandered from current projects to hopes and dreams of what each man would do, given his druthers.

“We got to talking, and it was kind of like, ‘You know what, I don’t think we’re done yet,’” Horrigan recalls of the happenstance meeting.

“It was kind of like, ‘We’re a chef and a bartender, and neither of us really wants to do other people’s stuff.’”

So, when they heard that JON MOGOR was ready to hand over the reins of Rogue Artisans Café in Morrisville, it seemed like a good fit. The gallery-café was prospering, but Mogor wanted more time for his woodworking projects. A deal was forged: Mogor closed his café, and Hanley and Horrigan will open the NICHE @ ROGUE later this fall.

The new spot will offer refined spins on classic comfort food and cocktails, prepared with local ingredients.

“It’s going to be mix and match,” Horrigan says. That means guests will be able to pair dishes such as Scottish duck egg, chicken-fried

REGIONAL

plus an array of breads, sides and desserts. Bar seating will accommodate patrons looking for à la carte cocktails and snacks.

In time, Proffitt hopes to use the meals to explore regional southern flavors.

“The South is such a huge area,” she says, noting that it spans cuisines as distinct as those of the Low Country, Appalachia, New Orleans and Texas.

But before all that, Down Home will host a one-year birthday bash on Saturday evening, September 17. The “old-fashioned street party” on Langdon Street will offer east-Carolina-style barbecue, fruit and cream pies, craft beer and cocktails from FARRELL DISTRIBUTING, and live bluegrass from local pickers such as Danny Coane of the Starline Rhythm Boys.

Main streets. The modest menu offered southern comfort foods such as chicken and biscuits, fried catfish, and eggs.

Over the past year, the menu has grown to include burgers; countryfried steak; hummingbird and Coca-Cola cakes; classic cocktails; milkshakes laced with cookies, espresso and Bailey’s Irish Cream; and hard-to-find Benton’s Smoky Mountain Country hams and bacon. Within a few months of opening, proprietor MARY ALICE PROFFITT added a wildly popular Sunday Church of Brunch, which continues to draw lines out the door weekly.

Around the same time, Proffitt recalls, she began dreaming of serving dinner.

“I’ve been really anxious to do things in the evening,” she says, “because there are so many people who can’t get here in daytime hours.”

When Proffitt was growing up in Georgia, her family would gather for Sunday suppers, passing platters of fried chicken, warm casseroles, and bowls heaped with okra, collards and other sides. “It’s a fun way of interacting with people,” Proffitt says of eating familystyle, “because it encourages conversation. It’s, ‘Hey, can you pass me the butter or jam?’ You’re not just having your food that you ordered.”

Accordingly, starting October 1, the restaurant will offer family-style Saturday sit-downs. Dishes will include perennial favorites such as fried chicken or fish,

tender beets to the crunchy golden cauliflower.

Both the wings and the wraps were delicious finger foods. The tender leaves of lettuce that enclosed the grilled pork belly were fresh and unmarred. But the mayo-like mustard sauce that adorned both could have used more kick, more acidity.

More, well, mustard.

(The menu specifies two lettuce wraps for Wings $5. We received three for the same price. If that was a quiet gift from the kitchen, we appreciated it.)

We moved on to entrées.

There was a pile of beef brisket accompanied with our chosen sides: coleslaw and potato salad ($20 for platter). The meat was smoky and tender but had less fat than I expect from a brisket. The slaw, which turned out to be my least favorite thing on the P&P menu, had nothing strictly wrong with it — the shredded carrots and red cabbage were fresh and nicely garnished with scallion — yet it was forgettable. Potato salad, which is surprisingly difficult to make well in quantity, was made well. Two barbecue sauces, put on the table to augment the meats, had a kick of vinegar, but both were on the thin side and didn’t cling.

I was more excited by the pork-rib plate ($18), to which we added sides of baked beans and corn bread ($3.50 each). The latter, made with Nitty Gritty Grain cornmeal and rather sweet, was delightful. It was browned on the outside without being overcooked on the inside, and was bursting with corn flavor. The stick-to-your-ribs-hearty baked beans were perfectly cooked and sweet, too.

I’m an enthusiastic carnivore, and slow-cooked meats are high on my list of food turn-ons; thus, it surprised me that my favorite entrée of all was a vegetarian offering: smoked polenta over stewed white beans, with braised greens

and a soft-cooked egg ($14). Every bite was bursting with flavor, and the textures played well together. It didn’t need anything more, or different.

We finished the meal with peach ice cream ($7) topped with pastry crumbles, whipped cream and slices of peach. The ice cream was lovely and cooling and not too sweet; the crumbles added texture. Overall, it was creative and nicely executed.

The day after I had lunch at P&P, I read a magazine article about my favorite chef, Thomas Keller (the French Laundry, Per Se).

He related an anecdote in which, after a meal at a much-hyped New York City restaurant, another patron recognized him and approached.

“Isn’t this amazing?” the fellow asked.

“No, it’s not amazing,” Keller said, “It’s really good … We need more good.”

As a former restaurateur, when I hired chefs, I asked them to strive to make each item the best version of that thing they’d ever tasted. Is this the best meatloaf? Is it the best blue cheese dressing? How about the best chicken stock? In many cases, the solution was just a little bit more lemon juice, a smidgen of spice, minced fresh herbs, a sprinkling of salt. We sometimes failed in our quest, especially when we were extremely busy or, as restaurant people say, “in the weeds.”

The food at Pork & Pickles could use that kind of refining. Sauces in particular, both the barbecue variety and the ones that are mixed into or accompany various appetizers and side dishes, could be punched up and made sexier.

But for now, I can say that Pork & Pickles is good — really good. m

THE COATING ON THE FRIED CHICKEN WAS PERFECTLY CRISP, THE MEAT INSIDE TENDER AND JUICY. BUT IT COULD HAVE USED A TOUCH MORE SEASONING.

Windfall Orchard recently obtained an event license to hold monthly dinners on-site, showcasing both the orchard’s bounty and the owners’ culinary prowess. Starting in midOctober, the dinner series will center on the wood-fired cooking suite at the

heart of the property, complete with a brick oven, smoker, grill and cast-iron griddle top known as la plancha.

“We’re just getting started with our menu ideas,” says Koehler. “But our wood oven won’t be for pizza.” Instead, expect abundant, family-style platters of Oaxacan-style tlayudas — freshly made tortillas topped with puréed black beans, queso fresco, and seasonal ingredients such as squash blossoms or fire-blasted peppers and onions. Other possibilities, says Koehler, include “authentic pork carnitas cooked in the wood oven, Oaxacan chicken mole … and homemade tacos.”

In the works for spring 2017 is the orchard’s “tasting grotto,” to be constructed on the ground floor of the couple’s home on the property.

Modeled after an antique cider cellar, it will double as an event space and have a modest bar for sample sips and snacks.

fter water and tea, beer is the most widely consumed beverage in the world. One could argue that it even helped shape the world: In the words of English wine writer Andrew Jefford, “Wine was the drink of elegance and aristocracy, whereas beer built the pyramids.” And all beer, from a can of Budweiser to a draft of craft IPA, shares a basic skeleton with its ancestors: water source, starch source, yeast source, hops.

But if making good beer were as straightforward as using yeast — and sometimes bacteria — to convert starchy sugars into a hopped, palatable alcohol, we wouldn’t have a brewing culture that has subsisted since the Bronze Age. Beer reflects the personality of a place and its people, whether it tastes of pristine, commercial exactitude or the funk of wild fermentation caused by a lakeside breeze. In that sense, the trajectory of brewing beer is not a straight line from start to finish. It’s a fluid curve.

Perhaps this is why Todd Haire, cofounder and brewmaster of Burlington’s Foam Brewers, designed a winding stone bar as the centerpiece of his new brewery at 112 Lake Street. The concrete

bar top, crafted by local businesses Russ Bennett Design and Vermont Eco-Floors, meanders from one end of the brewery to the other, flecked with stones collected from the edges of Lake Champlain and inlaid with illuminated glass by Mad River Glass Gallery.

“The whole idea is the curve,” says Haire as he pours a dusky-gold pint of the house saison, Saison de Foam 2.0.

“The bar’s not a straight line, so you don’t have to crane your neck around to look at people. It’s all a part of the flow.”

The “flow” is, to Haire, “about being in a place — sitting and relaxing for the moment.” For this reason, there are no tasting flights at Foam. “You’re not getting the full spectrum of a beer if you’re jumping from one to another in a rack of six,” Haire continues. “When a draft of beer is poured, half of its aroma sits in the head. The foam.”

Haire pours himself a Tranquil Pils, a German-style pilsner that seems to glow in the glass. He sniffs the froth on top, the suds that inspired the bar’s name in the first place. “All great beer sits under foam,” he explains.

Looking around Foam, you can see that the “flow” of enjoying a beer has

as much to do with the brewery as it does with the brews. Outside, umbrellatopped tables on the patio are filling with locals arriving for a beer and a waterfront breeze.

Inside, the air has the sweet, mineral smell of wort with a musky undertone of hops, an aroma indicative of the steel fermentation tanks puffing steam along the wall. Exposed brick and wooden beams warm up the space’s metallic industrial accents. Potted plants hang over giant stacks of bagged grain.

The works of Vermont artists highlight the architecture: metalwork fencing by Kat Clear; curved metal leaves and tap handles by Christopher Solbert; and a massive outdoor mural by Charlie Hudson, who currently sits at the bar with Haire chatting over a pint. Behind the bar, there’s a basket of bread, a jar of pickles and a cake stand laden with Miss Weinerz doughnuts, made each week with the brewery’s spent grain.

Two other Foam cofounders, general manager Dani Casey and head brewer Bobby Grim, laugh with a customer as they brainstorm names for a new brew made with full-cone Cascade and Chinook hops.

“Some hop famers from Kirby Hop Farm in Chateaugay, N.Y., stopped by our door with these killer full-cone hops,” explains Haire. “It was insane — they picked all the cones by hand. They weren’t dry hops. They were fresh, full cones meant to be made into a wet-hop ale.”

Haire and Grim walk to a steel tank bubbling on the wall opposite the bar.

Haire opens a top latch and takes a deep inhale of the heady steam that emerges.

Grim undoes a side latch and plucks a cone from the tank’s depths. He pulls apart the green-brown hop bud to show plump lupulin glands clinging to the center — tiny yellow sacs filled with all the acids and hop oils that add hop character to a beer.

“These farmers were so jazzed about wanting us to use the cones in our beer,” Haire continues. “Since there’s a much higher moisture content in fresh hops, we used about 80 percent more than you’d usually use in a batch.” While dry hops are more concentrated in flavor, unprocessed, just-harvested, full-cone wet hops carry more fragrance and greenness in their wells of extra water — a difference analogous to that between in-season tomatoes and their sun-dried counterparts.

Haire developed the recipe with a simple blended malt base from Peterson Quality Malt in North Ferrisburgh, wanting the hops to stand out without any competing flavors. “It’s going to be exciting to see how it comes out,” says UNDER THE FOAM

On September 2 and 3, one hundred and four intrepid individuals rappelled down the side of the Courtyard Marriott in Burlington, Vermont raising funds for the Flynn Center’s cultural and educational programs including scholarships for FlynnArts students, subsidies for student matinees, and subsidized tickets for our social and human services partners.

The Flynn is a not-for-profit, 501(c)(3) organization.

Under the Foam « P.48 Grim. “It smelled like a fresh orange in the kettle.”

A while later, the Foam team gathers at a round table in a back corner of the brewery, beside a wall adorned with paintings by local artist Geoff Garrow.

“This was my kitchen table as a child,” says Haire, smiling behind his moustache. “I had it in storage and thought this would be a great spot.”

Four of the five Foam founders are here — Haire, Grim, Casey and Sam Keane, the third brewer in the trio. Jon Farmer, the fifth member of the group, is the creative mind behind the brewery’s marketing, branding and digital media. The five-person team is visibly close, having developed their friendship during different work ventures long before Foam opened its doors in late April.

Haire began brewing at Magic Hat Brewing in South Burlington in 1998, when Vermont had just four other craft breweries (that number has since grown to 46). Casey joined the Magic Hat marketing team in 2007. She and Haire worked in tandem until Haire left in 2011 to be the head brewer at Switchback Brewing. He hired Grim a year later to be a pilot brewer for Switchback’s specialty beers, and Keane joined the team soon after as a production brewer.

Farmer worked in the Switchback taproom. Casey left Magic Hat and came to Switchback in 2015. That’s when Grim and Keane approached Haire with the plans to start their own brewery, with Haire as the brewmaster.

“It was a huge undertaking for us,

coming together as a team,” says Haire.

“We knew we’d need an amazing general manager, and that was [Casey]. And we knew we’d need to bring in [Farmer], who has such vision and creativity.”

In November 2015, with funding from personal savings, friends, family and a small business loan, the Foam quintet leased its current spot in a 19thcentury brick building on Lake Street.

The former home of San Sai Japanese Restaurant needed a dose of reconstruction — “the foundations were very bare, and there were still quail eggs in the freezer,” says Grim. The team stripped the place to its bones and built it back

Reality

Show

A

ctress Courtney Wood has a special relationship with Pamela Gien’s one-woman play The Syringa Tree. When Wood came across the Obie Award-winning work as an acting student at Doane University, she took it on as her senior thesis. After performing the memory play off and on for three years, the actress brings each of the show’s 24 characters to life — without the support of elaborate costumes or props — in a Lost Nation Theater production directed by Kim Allen Bent. Based on Gien’s real-life experiences, The Syringa Tree tells the story of two South African families on the long road from apartheid to freedom from the perspective of a 6-year-old girl.

‘THE SYRINGA TREE’ Thursday, September 15, through Saturday, September 17, 7:30 p.m., and Sunday, September 18, 2 p.m., at Montpelier City Hall Auditorium. See website for additional dates. $1030. Info, 229-0492. lostnationtheater.org

SEP.21 | FILM Quite a Character After gaining legendary status behind the scenes of shows such as “All in the Family,” “Good Times” and “The Jeffersons,” media man Norman Lear comes into focus in the new documentary Norman Lear: Just Another Version of You.. As a creator, writer and producer, Lear kept 1970s prime-time television current, using comedy to advance the national dialogue on topics such as race, class and feminism. Through archival footage, interviews and commentary by the likes of Rob Reiner and Amy Poehler, Academy Award-winning filmmakers Heidi Ewing and Rachel Grady paint a vibrant portrait of one of television’s groundbreaking figures. A Skype conversation with Lear follows a screening at Middlebury’s Town Hall Theater.

‘NORMAN LEAR: JUST ANOTHER VERSION OF YOU’ Wednesday, September 21, 7 p.m., at Town Hall Theater in Middlebury. $15. Info, 382-9222. townhalltheater.org

Grace Potter and Guster’s Ryan Miller talk Vermont B Y D A N B O L L ES

G

race Potter and Ryan Miller have had almost inverse Vermont experiences. As any local knows, Potter is the Waitsfieldborn singer who has achieved international fame, first with the Nocturnals and lately as a solo artist. She recently relocated to Los Angeles.

On the flip side, Miller is the front man for Guster, a Boston-born alt-pop band that has maintained a large and dedicated fan base for almost a quarter century. After many years living in Brooklyn, six years ago Miller moved with his family to Vermont. He now calls it home — though he did so reluctantly at first.

Both Potter and Guster will be in Vermont this Saturday and Sunday, September 17 and 18, performing at the Potter-founded Grand Point North music festival at Waterfront Park in Burlington. Ahead of the fest, Seven Days lined up a phone interview between the two pop stars. Oddly, Miller spoke from LA, while Potter had just touched down in the Green Mountains.

What follows are excerpts of that long and wide-ranging conversation. For an expanded version, check out the Seven Days arts blog, Live Culture.

SEVENDAYSVT.COM

RM: Are you there to create more opportunities? Or was it a resonant frequency thing, like, this is where you needed to be, personally?

GP: It’s a little bit of everything. We have a house out there that I was renting and … it’s kind of a funny story, actually. I rented the house for the band to stay in when we made an album five or six years ago. And the guy who owned it was the hockey player Sean Avery. Do you know him?

09.14.16-09.21.16

RYAN MILLER: So you made the leap. You’re calling LA home-ish these days?

GRACE POTTER: Yeah. I live on a tour bus, really.

Whenever I don’t, this is becoming more and more the place I come home to, though I can always come back to Vermont.

RM: I think I do, because I think I have a huge crush on his ex. Did he ever date Elisha Cuthbert?

GP: Ohhhh, yeah.

72 MUSIC

SEVEN DAYS

RM: That’s about all I know about sportsball, but go on.

GP: You’ll love this, then. So Elisha Cuthbert’s DNA was all over the house when we rented it. He had all these pictures that she had drawn and a bunch of her stuff in the closet. And she kept on sending her friends to come and pick it up because they’d had a bad breakup. There was a Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young illustration that looked just like the record cover but was actually a drawing that she did, and it was just sitting in the closet.

So, Sean was just like, “I don’t know. I don’t care. I’m so done with LA. Make me an offer, and I’ll sell you the PHOTO: FILE PHOTO OF GRACE POTTER BY MATTHEW THORSEN

for dinner that night. (Also, check out the review of BB’s sister band BANANA SCHLITZ’s new tape on page 77.)

Though they don’t technically live here anymore, I’m bestowing honorary local status on Northampton, Mass.based glitter-pop band AND THE KIDS, who top the local marquee on Sunday.

Because damn if there isn’t a more relatable record about relationships in small communities than ATK’s 2016 gem, Friends Share Lovers.

Rounding out the local portion of the show on Sunday are all-female, allawesome rocksteady favorites STEADY BETTY and up-and-comers IRON EYES CODY. Not for nothing did the latter band make my midyear list of the best local albums of 2016 with its Future Fieldsproduced debut, All Good Saints Have Died.

Oh, and before I forget, some gratuitous company shilling! As has been the case for four straight years, the winner of the annual Seven Daysrun Grand Point North Local Band Contest will kick off the festivities on Saturday. This year that honor belongs to Northeast Kingdom blues rockers EVANSVILLE TRANSIT AUTHORITY. Do us proud, ETA.

Can ya feel that, Vermont? I don’t even have to explain what “that” is, do I? You felt it the other day when you donned a sweatshirt or two for your morning coffee. You sighed softly to yourself upon glimpsing the first hints of rust in the trees on your street. Perhaps you’ve suddenly started craving apples.

The spindly tendrils of fall have slowly begun to wind their death grip around summer. And we don’t need southerly flying waterfowl to know it’s coming. We have a better, or at least more entertaining, seasonal indicator: Grand Point North.

This Saturday and Sunday, September 17 and 18, GRACE POTTER’s annual throwdown at Waterfront Park in Burlington will once again serve as our unofficial end-of-summer bash. As per usual, she’s invited a slew of famous friends to help, including KALEO, BLIND PILOT, OLD CROW MEDICINE SHOW, the WOOD BROTHERS, the RECORD COMPANY, BASIA BULAT and ELIZA HARDY JONES. You probably don’t require my help to navigate the headliners. After all, there are two types of people in this world: Those who love “Wagon Wheel” and those who I’m friends with. So I’d like to hip you to the local slate at GPN and offer my annual plea for you to get to the show on time for once.

that band is having and what lies in store for them in the months to come — hint: a baller new record and ambitious touring. The Queen City’s reigning R&B royals top a stellar slate of locals on Saturday. For example, neo-soul cool kids SMOOTH ANTICS, led by the incomparable STEPH HEAGHNEY. If you’re placing bets on who might one day succeed Wright as the Seven Daysies’ best-vocalist winner — as Wright unseated Potter this year — you could do worse than laying money on Heaghney. She’s that good.

BILLY DEAN & THE HONOR ROLL have three ports of call — Harlem, Massachusetts and Vermont — representing the three places that lyricist and MC BILLY DEAN THOMAS (aka the QUEER B.I.G.) calls home.

The band’s topical fusion of hip-hop, funk and jazz has garnered comparisons to the likes of both the ROOTS and RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE. That’s a tad hyperbolic. But their mix of smooth, jazzy grooves and tight, politically charged flow justifies the correlations.

Also on Saturday are BTV rockers BLUE BUTTON, who might just be the loudest band ever on the GPN stage.

because that’s what my parents raised me on. I grew up where my parents would pick up all of our groceries by trading a bowl my mom made or a sign my dad made — all of our produce, flowers, meat. It’s only quintessential to everyone else. But to me it was life; it’s normal. So I didn’t realize being from Vermont was a thing until I left.

It’s interesting to me that I’ve sort of taken on this poster-girl-of-Vermont thing. And I think it’s because I am so proud of Vermont.

RM: No, we don’t have a show. I think part of being a working artist out of Vermont is making sure you get out.

In case you’ve missed it, for the last several Thursdays, local jazz guitarist and Grammy-nominated recording engineer GEORGE PETIT has curated a residency at Halvorson’s Upstreet Café in Burlington. Each week he’s joined by a rotating cast of talented friends, variously including pianists TOM CLEARY and IRA FRIEDMAN, bassist JOHN RIVERS, drummers GABE JARRETT and LUKE ADLER, and saxophonist CHRIS PETERMAN. It’s a lively, freewheeling night. So freewheeling that when Petit put the combo together, his only rule was this: No rehearsing.

Some nights, the band plays not out back, where Halvy’s shows tend to be, but out in front on the street, adding to the anything-goes vibe. If the weather holds this Thursday, September 15, that’s where you’ll likely find Petit and co. again. Unfortunately, it’s the final night of the residency.

If you miss out, fret not. Petit, who returned to Vermont from NYC earlier this year, kicks off a weekly Tuesday residency with his trio — including Adler and bassist PAT MARKLEY — at the

Of course, every good festival needs a good after-party. GPN is no exception.

The fest’s official post-rockin’ bash takes place on Saturday, September 17, at Nectar’s in Burlington. Asheville, N.C., baroque folk-pop outfit RIVER WHYLESS open the show, and it’s a lovely little ensemble. But don’t just take my word for it. Let’s ask National Public Radio’s BOB BOILEN for his thoughts. Bob? “This band is an amalgamation of folk and pop and beyond. Brilliant harmonies and words.”

Thanks, Bob!

AUTUMN

Last but not least, welcome home, DUKE AEROPLANE & THE WRONG NUMBERS! The ILLADELPH, JM FLOW, HISI, MGW AND boozy, bluesy offshoot of beloved local MANY LOCAL AND NATIONAL ARTISTS. “suspender fusion” act the VERMONT COMING SOON: SOVEREIGNTY JOY PARADE is back on native soil after NOW CARRYING PAX 2, relocating to New Orleans. The band will AS WELL AS PUFFCO, AND MAGIC FLIGHT be at Radio Bean in Burlington on Friday, September 16, with a pair of fellow Crescent City acts: bubblegum-folk outfit the TUMBLING WHEELS and songwriter SHAYNE SAYERS. Duke and his Numbers are in town celebrating the release of a new record, Higher Ground. They’re also kicking off a northeast tour with those aforementioned NOLA bands — both labelmates on United Bakery Records.

The new album contains all of the scruffy hallmarks that long ago endeared the band to local audiences.

First and foremost, that includes the roguish charm of Duke Aeroplane himself — aka GALEN PERIA. As always, 75 Main Street | 802-865-6555 Peria leads his band with the seedy, theatrical flair of a carnival sideshow barker. Think TOM WAITS meets P.T. BARNUM. And Peria’s writing has never Mon-Thur 10-9 Fri-Sat 10-10 Sun 10-8 been more vivid as he navigates through w w w . n o r th e r n l i g h tsp i p e s. co m tales of morality as murky as the swamp Must be 18 to purchase tobacco products, ID required he now calls home.

But what separates his band’s latest 9/5/16 album from earlier work is fidelity — 8V-northernlights090716.indd 1 perhaps an odd term given the cast of cheats and lowlifes who typically populate his songs. Local swampy-tonk LOUNGE hero BRETT HUGHES recorded Higher Ground, and it stands as some of his THIS WEEK finest engineering work. Never has FRI 16 | SAT 17 Peria’s band been given such a fine audiophile’s treatment.

ROBERT Still, the best way to experience Duke Aeroplane & the Wrong Numbers is in person, ideally several drinks deep and surrounded by your sweatiest, most debauched friends. I suspect the Bean will once again provide exactly that this Friday.

REVIEW this Aleck & Ivy, The Freak Beneath

approach that’s built around looping instruments live. Turns out, they’ve got a knack for it.

Sonically, The Freak Beneath hails from the early days when house music was still inseparable from hip-hop and drum machines ruled the Earth. It’s consistent to a fault, and you might wish they’d used a more diverse palette, especially for the percussion. Still, the arrangements are tasteful and strong.

And producer Third Seven’s mastery of the effects chain makes the album sound more like late Radiohead than vintage RUN-DMC. This is an exceptionally sequenced work. A lot of attention has been paid to both pacing and smooth transitions.

Indeed, the first five tracks are damn near seamless. The lyrics are equally interconnected, as themes and motifs reappear in new permutations without ever wearing thin. This is perhaps the most impressive aspect of The Freak Beneath: Despite bursting at the seams with ideas and images, it still comes off as a focused project.

Estelle has really come into her own.

Her voice sounds stronger and more assured. She also steps up as a rapper on many songs, proving herself an able counterpoint to Woogmaster’s dense, stream-of-thought flow. In fact, one of the best songs on the album is “July,” a beautifully written heartbreaker about the death of her older brother.

Woogmaster has also improved.

His verses here are some of the sharpest compositions of his career.

His cadence is more intricate and rhythmic, but what really stands out are the mixed metaphors and layered wordplay. His a cappella piece, “Rust in Piece (Worthy),” is perhaps his

best performance yet: thoughtful, sly and still shockingly honest. For a guy who used to use the mic as a Molotov cocktail, the maturity and restraint he shows here is a dramatic change.

How it happened is no mystery. If anything, the process behind personal growth is the core theme of the project.

Aleck & Ivy are constantly in dialogue, talking things through, alternating between counterpoint and commentary.

If this album is any indication, their live show must be somewhere between a house party and a group psychotherapy session, and something well worth checking out.

The Freak Beneath by Aleck & Ivy is available at aleckandivy.com. Aleck & Ivy appear on Thursday, September 15, at the Monkey House in Winooski; Saturday, September 17, at Elmhill, Inc.’s 50th anniversary party at the Maplehill School & Community Farm in Plainfield; and Wednesday, September 21, at Nectar’s in Burlington.

record includes appearances by fellow children of the ’80s Heloise Williams (Heloise and the Savoir Faire, which includes her husband, Bellizia), Bobby Hackney Jr. (Rough Francis) and Frank Zee (Blue Button). That roster makes Banana Schlitz a Burlington supergroup of sorts.

The physical album comes as a delightfully packaged cassette tape. The liner notes include some neat photos and the complete song lyrics — the latter a nice touch that’s often missing

in the streaming era. Cassette seems like the most appropriate format, and not just because the music pays homage to the early days of indie. For one thing, the basic tracks for every song were recorded on four-track. Only vocals and some keyboards were added via contemporary tech during the mixing process.

Cooley wrote nearly all of the songs, and his angst seems in step with the era for which he pines. “Again Over Again” is a raw, intimate ballad about accepting things the way they are, and about how much that can suck. “I was sitting in the park / My dad was across the street / Drinking in a bar / He didn’t know that I was watching,” he sings. But it’s not all pain. “Used Future” is a hip-shaking, danceable cut in which Williams and Cooley get down like the B-52s’ Kate Pierson and Fred Schneider gone electroclash.

The one track not penned by Cooley

covers a section of Keith Forsey’s The Breakfast Club score titled “Makeover Theme.” Maybe your heart doesn’t die when it grows up. Whether this inclusion is meant to be a joke, superduper serious or something in between, Cooley successfully reinvents the iconic moment through his own filter, swapping electric piano for fuzzy guitar on the lead melody.

To ask whether Sports & Milk is a pinnacle of songwriting and musicianship would be missing the point. And that point is this: longtime friends coming together to produce a tribute to the era in which they all got their start.

Sports & Milk by Banana Schlitz is available at bananaschlitz.bandcamp. com. Banana Schlitz’s sister band, Blue Button, play the Grand Point North music festival this Saturday, September 17, at Waterfront Park in Burlington.

A little more than a year ago, Vermont ex-pat Aleck Woogmaster and Portland, Ore., singer-songwriter Ivy Estelle released their debut EP, Sticks in the Mud. The seven-song teaser was uneven but interesting, promising better things to come.

With the arrival of the duo’s first full-length album, The Freak Beneath, it’s clear they really were cooking up something new. And, appropriately, they’ve rebranded as simply Aleck & Ivy. The EP often sounded like two solo artists collaborating; their latest release suggests they’ve fused into a single organism.

One big change is the music itself.

On their last outing, Woogmaster and Estelle relied on beats from Burlington rapper/producer Face One. But this time around, they’ve taken a DIY

Nostalgia is a powerful thing. And in 2016, it seems like we can’t get enough of it. Axl Rose and Slash reunited Guns N’ Roses at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, and other bygone bands including Lush and Temple of the Dog announced tours. Netflix series and 1980s Spielberg dry-hump “Stranger Things” broke the internet, suggesting that if you can get the details right, actual content doesn’t matter as much as the presentation.

member and Johnson State College instructor Isaac Littlejohn Eddy spearheaded the performance component. Meanwhile, Dow’s students constructed small, three-dimensional beaded trees, as well as a beaded representation of Bitawbogk — aka Lake Champlain. The festivities will be accompanied by a recording of Dow reading the creation story in full, made with the help of Grace’s producer, Eric Valentine, and studio time donated by Williston’s Meadowlark Studios.

For GIA student Calleen Ferris, 17, now a senior at Bellows Free Academy of Fairfax, this summer was not her first time hearing the Abenaki story.

Ferris remembers Dow visiting her third-grade classroom in Randolph, she said in a phone interview. She had the opportunity to work with the Abenaki teacher once again in her morning beading class at the summer institute. In the afternoon, Ferris worked with Eddy in a class called Clowning Around; she’ll perform with fellow classmates at GPN. She’s eager to be reunited with her GIA cohort: “You go to this institute, and the friendships that you make are forever,” Ferris said.

The festival’s debut collaboration with GIA represents the Potter

Rock Dunder

On the eastern side of Lake Champlain, just off Shelburne Point, is a rock that played a role in Vermont history.

The native Abenaki called it Odzihozo (ood-zee-hoh-zoh). They believed the ancient rock was once a huge, legless creature that could move by pulling himself with his arms.

Dragging his body through the region, Odzihozo created the valleys between what would become the Green Mountains. He left long indentations where rivers and streams could flow.

Finally, Odzihozo made room for Lake Champlain, a creation he liked so much that he climbed onto a rock within it and turned himself to stone, so he could look at the sparkling water for all eternity.

For many years, Abenaki people canoeing through the lake would stop at the rock to give thanks, leaving Odzihozo gifts of tobacco.

Today, the rock has another name. During the Battle of Plattsburgh in the War of 1812, a British naval commander mistook the island for an enemy craft.

"It's a rock, by dunder!" he shouted.

He ordered his crew to fire on it through the night. When the sun came up, he realized he had wasted ammunition shooting at an island.

Students from the Vermont Fairen Stark of Newfane Governor’s Institute on the Arts will aid del Valle in constructing and painting the mural, as well as in bringing its story to life with visual and performing arts.

At this summer’s two-week session for high schoolers at Castleton University, which took place in June and July, students participated in brainstorming and creating a variety of works to be shown at the fall festival.

GIA instructor Cavan Meese led students in making masks of Champlain Sea creatures, while former Blue Man Group

News of his mistake spread from town to town, and the island has been called Rock Dunder ever since.

s always, this weekend’s Burlington waterfront music festival Grand Point North will be headlined by founder Grace Potter. The 2016 lineup includes Old Crow Medicine Show, Guster, Kaleo and many other musicians — but there’s stuff to see as well as hear. One of the fest’s annual offerings is an installation called “Grand Point Weird,” curated by Potter’s older sister, artist Charlotte Potter. This year, the show focuses on the Abenaki Lake Champlain creation story. It’s a timely choice, given the recent surge of public attention to indigenous land rights, spurred by the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe’s protests against the Dakota Access Pipeline.

The Abenaki story begins like this, according to Vermont Abenaki artist and educator Judy Dow: “A long time ago, the Great Spirit created this world that we live in with all the colors and all the beauty. He wiped the dust from his hands, and it fell to the earth. Odzihozo, the transformer … picked up this dust and began to gather himself, began to transform himself.”

Charlotte is the glass-studio manager and programming director at the Chrysler Museum of Art in Norfolk, Va.; this is her fourth year orchestrating “Grand Point Weird.” The flippancy of the installation’s name is deliberate, she said in a phone interview — part of her effort to make contemporary art more accessible to the public. “People think contemporary art is weird,” Charlotte noted.

This year’s GPW will be anchored by a live mural painting by Brooklyn artist Esteban del Valle, who attended graduate school at the Rhode Island School of Design with Charlotte. He’ll render his interpretation of the creation story across six plywood panels, resulting in a 24-by6.5-foot finished piece. “We wanted [the work] to be pertinent to the actual site that we were on,” Charlotte explained.

Del Valle told Seven Days by phone that the mural format lends itself to the narrative layering of time and space. To that end, he’ll paint a present-day storyteller as narrator of the ancient story, which will showcase plenty of landscape and wildlife details. Some of his paints will be fluorescents responsive to black lights.

movies Sully ★★★★★

I

was surprised to learn that Clint Eastwood’s latest film was being released on September 9. Did award season get moved up? I wondered. Then I saw Sully and realized what a crafty, gut-wrenching stunt Eastwood had pulled off. On the weekend of the anniversary of the Twin Towers attacks, audiences would be watching a movie memorializing an event that the director has very consciously framed as the country’s anti-9/11.

And they’ll be watching for a long time to come, because Sully is one hell of a film. The director may be 86 and known to converse with the occasional chair, but his vision, instincts and skills are as sharp as ever. It doesn’t hurt that Tom Hanks is at the top of his game as Captain Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger, the most famous pilot in modern history.

I was surprised, too, to learn that Eastwood’s latest was about Sullenberger, I have to admit. What can he do with this stiff ? I wondered, imagining a movie designed to turn the white-haired guy we’ve watched on TV for years, commenting on one air disaster after another, into an action hero. I should’ve known the Oscar-winning director had a trick up his sleeve.

Or half a dozen. This is a picture that works on multiple levels and proves to be a

pleasant, powerful surprise on every one. We all know what happened on January 15, 2009.

Sullenberger and copilot Jeff Skiles (Aaron Eckhart, also excellent) launched U.S. Airways Flight 1549 into the sky over LaGuardia. They barely had time to banter about lunch plans before a flock of geese smashed into the plane and shredded its engines.

We know the plane lost thrust, yet the captain somehow kept his cool and landed it safely in the river, despite the lack of power and the notorious perils of water landings (Cast Away, anyone?). The image of the crash’s 155 survivors — i.e., everyone on board — balancing on the aircraft’s wings as if they were giant surfboards is among the indelible ones of our age. Within hours, Sully was one of the most famous and celebrated human beings on the planet.

Yet it turns out there was so much we didn’t know. For example, while the world was hailing Sully as a hero, the National Transportation Safety Board was running computer simulations to make the case that he panicked and could have made it safely back to LaGuardia. We may not know that Sully and Skiles were kept essentially under hotel arrest and prevented from returning home. Or that Sully was eventually haunted by self-doubt and confessed to his wife (Lau-

FLIGHT CONTROL Eckhart and Hanks star in a gripping and impressively conceived celebration of regular guys who are very good at their jobs.

ra Linney) his fear that “Maybe I blew it.”

Eastwood slips in chilling fantasy sequences of the pilot’s worst nightmare: the plane losing lift over New York and piercing skyscraper after fireballing skyscraper.

The scenes of the NTSB hearings are a master class in creating movie tension (even if they are fudged a bit). And, when Eastwood finally brings you aboard the fateful flight, you won’t need an attendant to remind you to remain in your seat. You wouldn’t be able to extricate yourself if you wanted to.

The film’s grace note is its portrayal of what happened after the ditch. Within minutes — 24, to be exact — help arrived from every direction. Without a single SOS being sent, commuter ferries and private choppers descended on the scene to lend assistance, quickly followed by police, firefighters and other first responders. This was a day, Eastwood reminds us, when terror didn’t get the better of New York but instead brought out the best in it and was overcome. Rarely has a release date been more perfectly timed.

When the Bough Breaks ★★★

I

n the 1990s, moviegoers flocked to a string of glossy thrillers that one critic of the era memorably dubbed the “from hell” genre. All their plots could be reduced to a single pungent phrase: “the roommate from hell” (Single White Female), “the tenant from hell” (Pacific Heights), “the nanny from hell” (The Hand That Rocks the Cradle). The protagonists were always attractive yuppies, living the dream until they made the mistake of trusting a psychopath who had designs on their goodies. Bunnies were boiled, innocents were terrorized and lessons were learned about the general scariness of the less fortunate.

Such films haven’t been seen much since the Clinton administration, except on Lifetime. But they make a brief theatrical comeback with When the Bough Breaks, an enjoyable camp fest best described as “the surrogate from hell.” Reproductive technology may have advanced since the ’90s, but the formula of these films hasn’t changed a bit.

Morris Chestnut and Regina Hall play John and Laura Taylor, an early-forties New Orleans couple with a ravishing restored home and glamorous jobs (lawyer, high-end chef ). The only thing they lack is a baby, so they seek out a surrogate.

Young Anna (Jaz Sinclair) has meek posture, dewy eyes and a shy smile that oozes sincere desire to help the infertile couple.

So, of course the Taylors choose her as the receptacle of their precious last embryo. Of

AND BABY MAKES FOUR Sinclair plays a surrogate with less than pure motives in Cassar’s retro B-movie thriller.

course they welcome her into their home when she seeks refuge from an abusive boyfriend (Theo Rossi). And of course — I don’t think I’m spoiling much here — Anna turns out to come straight from hell.

The fun of such movies is in seeing how the hellishness will reveal itself. Will the infernal antagonist have plausible motivations, perhaps even a legitimate grievance?

Or will she be simply a class-A sociopathic

bee-yotch, the kind who likes to torment an older, richer rival by stealing her clothes and looking great in them?

Anna is basically the latter. The film raises questions about the ethical and legal issues involved in surrogacy — does the woman carrying the child have any say in its future?

— only to toss them aside once it’s clear she’s off the rails. The script by Jack Olsen gives full moral authority to John and Laura, who

are nice people but not fleshed-out characters, despite vague hints that they’ve had to “work on” their marriage.

All the best scenes belong to Sinclair; equally convincing as a mousy waif and a diabolical vamp, she struts around the house in dishabille, leering suggestively at John, and ends up walking away with the film. Chestnut does his best to suggest some inner conflict while fending off her advances, but his character remains on the drawing board.

Most of the film takes place in the Taylors’ home, and director Jon Cassar, a veteran of TV’s “24,” uses its billowy curtains and shadows to create a moody atmosphere of suspicion and voyeurism. While its middle section stretches long, When the Bough Breaks shows an admirable willingness to “go there” when it’s time to unleash hell. The circumstances under which Anna’s water breaks are probably enough to guarantee the film a future place in Lifetime’s rotation of minor camp classics about domestic peril.

Like virtually every entry in the “from hell” genre, the film ends up affirming that “The family that kills together stays together” (as Pauline Kael put it, reviewing genre progenitor Fatal Attraction). Movies like these affirm their own kind of family values, offering viewers the assurance that, whatever travails they may experience at home, at least they’ll never have to explain to their kid that he emerged from the loins of the surrogate from hell.

Blair Witch

SEVEN DAYS

This week brings us two notable found-footage films — one real, one fake. For Beatles fans, there's the new documentary The Beatles: Eight Days a Week — the Touring Years (Savoy Theater), which Ron Howard compiled from concert and other footage. And then, for people like me who continue to insist that The Blair Witch Project (1999) is a very scary movie, there's Blair Witch (Essex, Majestic, Palace), the belated found-footage sequel. Do we really want to go back in those woods and find out what happened to Heather and her fellow student filmmakers? Yes, the concept is played out. But with director Adam Wingard (The Guest, You're Next) at the helm, I'll give this one a shot.

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!

RACHEL LIVES HERE NOW HARRY BLISS

REAL FREE WILL ASTROLOGY BY ROB BREZSNY SEPTEMBER 15-21

with as much of everyone and everything as you can manage. I realize this is a breathtaking assignment that will require you to push beyond some of your limitations and conjure up almost superhuman levels of generosity.

But that’s exactly what the cosmic omens suggest is necessary if you want to break through to the next major chapter of your life story.

GEMINI

VIRGO AUG. 23-SEPT. 22:

Caution: You may soon be exposed to outbreaks of peace, intelligence and mutual admiration. Sweet satisfactions might erupt unexpectedly. Rousing connections could become almost routine, and useful revelations may proliferate. Are you prepared to fully accept this surge of grace? Or will you be suspicious of the chance to feel soulfully successful? I hope you can find a way to at least temporarily adopt an almost comically expansive optimism.

That might be a good way to ensure you’re not blindsided by delight.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): What should you do if your allies get bogged down by excess caution or lazy procrastination? Here’s what I advise: Don’t confront them or berate them. Instead, cheerfully do what must be done without their help. And what action should you take if mediocrity begins to creep into collaborative projects? Try this: Figure out how to restore excellence, and cheerfully make it happen. And how should you proceed if the world around you seems to have fallen prey to fear-induced apathy or courage-shrinking numbness?

My suggestion: Cheerfully kick the world’s butt — with gentle but firm good humor.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): “Dear Soul Doctor: I have been trying my best to body-surf the flood of feelings that swept me away a few weeks ago. So far I haven’t drowned!

That’s good news, right? But I don’t know how much longer I can stay afloat. It’s hard to maintain so much concentration. The power and volume of the surge doesn’t seem to be abating. Are there any signs that I won’t have to do this forever? Will I eventually reach dry land? —Careening Crab.” Dear Careening: Five or six more days, at the most: You won’t have to hold out longer than that. During this last stretch, see if you can enjoy the ride more.

Reimagine your journey as a rambunctious adventure rather than a harrowing ordeal.

And remember to feel grateful: Not many people have your capacity to feel so deeply.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): If there can be such a thing as a triumphant loss, you will achieve it sometime soon. If anyone can slink in through the back door but make it look like a grand entrance, it’s you. I am in awe of your potential to achieve auspicious reversals and medicinal redefinitions. Plain old simple justice may not be available, but I bet you’ll be able to conjure

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “Brainwashing” is a word with negative connotations. It refers to an intensive indoctrination that scours away a person’s convictions and replaces them with a new set of rigid beliefs. But I’d like to propose an alternative definition for your use in the coming days. According to my astrological analysis, you now have an extraordinary power to thoroughly wash your own brain — thereby flushing away toxic thoughts and trashy attitudes that might have collected there. I invite you to have maximum fun as you make your inner landscape clean and sparkly.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): My astrological divinations suggest that a lightning storm is headed your way, metaphorically speaking.

But it shouldn’t inconvenience you much — unless you do the equivalent of getting drunk, stumbling out into the wasteland and screaming curses toward heaven. (I don’t recommend that.) For best results, consider this advice: Take shelter from the storm, preferably in your favorite sanctuary. Treat yourself to more silence and serenity than you usually do. Meditate with the relaxed ferocity of a Zen monk high on Sublime Emptiness. Got all that? Now here’s the best part: Compose a playfully edgy message to God, telling Her about all the situations you want Her to help you transform during the next 12 months.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Novelist Tom Robbins said this about my work: “I’ve seen the future of American literature and its name is Rob Brezsny.” Oscar-winning actress Marisa Tomei testified, “Rob Brezsny gets my nomination for best prophet in a starring role. He’s a script doctor for the soul.”

Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter Jason Mraz declared, “Rob Brezsny writes everybody’s favorite astrology column. I dig him for his powerful yet playful insights, his poetry and his humor.” Are you fed up with my boasts yet, Sagittarius? I will spare you

from further displays of egomania under one condition: You have to brag about yourself a lot in the coming days — and not just with understated little chirps and peeps. Your expressions of self-appreciation must be lush, flamboyant, exultant, witty and sincere.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): By normal standards, your progress should be vigorous in the coming weeks. You may score a new privilege, increase your influence, or forge a connection that boosts your ability to attract desirable resources. But accomplishments like those will be secondary to an even more crucial benchmark: Will you understand yourself better? Will you cultivate a more robust awareness of your strengths and weaknesses, your needs and your duties? Will you get clear about what you have to learn and what you have to jettison?

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18): I’m confident that you would never try to sneak through customs with cocaine-laced goat meat or a hundred live tarantulas or some equally prohibited contraband. Please use similar caution as you gear up for your rite of passage or metaphorical border crossing. Your intentions should be pure and your conscience clear. Any baggage you take with you should be free of nonsense and delusions. To ensure the best possible outcome, arm yourself with the highest version of brave love that you can imagine.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Should you be worried if you have fantasies of seducing a deity, angel or superhero? Will it be weird if some night soon you dream of an erotic rendezvous with a mermaid, satyr or centaur?

I say no. In fact, I’d regard events like these as healthy signs. They would suggest that you’re ready to tap into mythic and majestic yearnings that have been buried deep in your psyche. They might mean your imagination wants to steer you toward experiences that will energize the smart animal within you.

And this would be in accordance with the most exalted cosmic tendencies. Try saying this affirmation: “I am brilliantly primal. I am wildly wise. I am divinely surprising.”

SEVENDAYSVT.COM

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): For the foreseeable future, your main duty is to be in love.

Rowdily and innocently in love. Meticulously and shrewdly in love. In love with whom or what? Everyone and everything — or at least

(May 21-June 20): What do you hope to be when you are all grown up, Gemini? An irresistible charmer who is beloved by many and owned by none? A master multitasker who’s paid well for the art of never being bored? A versatile virtuoso who is skilled at brokering truces and making matches and tinkering with unique blends? The coming weeks will be a favorable time to entertain fantasies like these — to dream about your future success and happiness. You are likely to generate good fortune for yourself as you brainstorm and play with the pleasurable possibilities. I invite you to be as creative as you dare.

up some unruly justice that’s just as valuable.

To assist you in your cagey maneuvers, I offer this advice: Don’t let your prowess make you overconfident, and always look for ways to use your so-called liabilities to your advantage.

I moved out of my boyfriend’s house because of his 19-yearold son’s behavior problems. I could not get my boyfriend to stand up for me. He claimed he had talks with his son, but it never changed anything. In fact, his son’s behavior got creepier. He threatened to kill us in our sleep when we had an argument and even shaved my pet’s hair when I told him he couldn’t. I decided to move out, and hopefully it will be a wake-up call for my boyfriend to deal with his son. I’m not sure where to go from here and if I should give him another chance. We are still dating. I even put a lot of money into his house so they wouldn’t foreclose and we could fix it up and sell it. My new goal is to let him continue to fix the house up, sell it and move out while making the son live somewhere else.

Signed,

Want My Boyfriend Back

Dear Boyfriend Back,

Relationships come with so many messy bits. If you want love to last, tolerance and kindness go a long way. For some, that means biting your tongue each time your boyfriend insists on wearing his hockey jersey on date nights. For others, it’s more serious — like the situation you’ve described. Falling in love is largely about chemistry, and that chemistry doesn’t always extend to family. Almost anyone will admit that practicing tolerance with a partner’s family can be tricky.

A parent’s bond with his or her child is like no other. No matter what you think of your boyfriend’s son — no matter how uncomfortable, concerned or frightened you may be — you can’t expect your guy to choose you over his kid. He may never be there for you in the way that you want him to be. His obligation is with his son first. And can you blame him?

You’ve put so much into this relationship, and you obviously care for your partner’s life and well-being, but you can’t change him. It sounds like his son needs counseling, but you must accept that neither you nor your boyfriend can force him to get that help. Even if he does, it would be only natural — and in the boy’s best interest — for your boyfriend to continue supporting his son in an active way.

That, too, could mean less time and attention for you.

Perhaps you can encourage your partner to seek professional help first — to consult a doctor or a support group. He needs an objective perspective to guide him through this and help him be assertive.

If you can date him and also take a step back from this sensitive process, then by all means proceed. But love does not guarantee change — it can only nurture the seed of change to grow. There is hope in that, and I’m hopeful for you.

Need advice?

Yours,

Athena
