Festival comes back to the green
S
ince the first performance in 1978, Middlebury’s Festival on-the-Green has been a sign of summer, a place for the community to gather and a celebration of music and craft. This year, the 38th annual Festival on-the-Green will be back at its home on the green in downtown Middlebury, and in this iconic setting performers will dazzle visitors once again.
BY ELLIE REINHARDT
After two summers in the Middlebury Recreation Park, the festival will return to the cherished place where memories have been made for many attendees.
Leila McVeigh met in 1998 on that Saturday night. “I had my eye on this young lady who was sitting there, tapping her foot as if waiting for someone to ask her to dance,” said Joe McVeigh. “And then my mom’s favorite song came on, ‘In the Mood’ by Glenn Miller.” The two were married three years later on the night of the Street Dance in July 2001. “We literally walked down Main Street in our wedding clothes,” Joe McVeigh said. “They played our song and we had our first dance.” Carolyn and Reg Spooner, also Middlebury residents, have been

| ARTS+LEISURE | Thursday, July 7, 2016 going to the festival together since they married in 1997, although Carolyn had been attending for 10 years before that. “Reg had never danced, but my first husband loved to dance,” Carolyn said. “So Reg and I decided to take dancing lessons, and finally we could dance in the street too.”
“The festival is one of the highlights of our summer,” added Reg. “We love it.” This summer’s Festival on-the-Green, which will run from Sunday, July 10, to Saturday, July 16, will feature an array of local, regional and international artists. “It’s like a menu, we hope to offer a little something for everybody,” said Beth Duquette, a member of the program committee that organizes much of the event. The festival, completely free and volunteer-run, continues to thrive because the community rallies around it. Local businesses and restaurants support the event, while fundraising throughout the year and the time-honored “passing of the hat” help secure funds for a budget that this year stands at $41,421. “From day one, Middlebury College and the town of Middlebury have really been cornerstones in support for the festival,” said Pat Boera, the festival’s longtime secretary. “We really feel very blessed to be in a community that embraces the festival as their own thing.”
Duquette agreed, citing its organic nature. “It’s the original mom-and-pop festival in Middlebury,” she said. “It’s homegrown and owned by the people.” The line-up this year includes 17 performances, many of them from artists who will come to the festival for the first time. Monday night will feature the blues, folk and jazz tunes of finger-style guitarist Pat Donahue at 7 p.m., and The Lonely Heartstring Band, a true Americana Bluegrass experience at 8:30 p.m. On Tuesday, Les Poules à Colin will bring original and folk Québécois music to the Vermont stage at 8:30 p.m.
“WE REALLY FEEL VERY BLESSED TO BE IN A COMMUNITY THAT EMBRACES THE FESTIVAL AS THEIR OWN THING.” — Pat Boera
Boera has been to the festival every year and can recall most of the performances, including the very first, which helped create a structure. In its inaugural year, Dana Holby, then a dance instructor at Middlebury College, brought a number of performers together to complement her dance troupe, Coincidance. In planning, she learned that renting a tent for one day cost the same as renting a tent for a week. And so began the Festival on-the-Green, a weeklong celebration of music, dance, magic, comedy and Vermont that continues to bring the town to life. “I think some of the success for it is that the formula has actually not changed very much,” said Boera.
The noontime Brown Bag show on Wednesday will offer the No Strings Marionette Company, a puppet show with their cast of characters returning in high demand. The crew will embark on a treasure hunt across the stage in this year’s performance. Thursday night brings Dwight and Nicole, a husband and wife duo from Brooklyn who are not afraid to venture from folk and blues to soul, Afrobeat and pop. Friday lunchtime will feature the famously deceiving Tom Verner, a local magician and longtime performer at the festival. “He never makes magic seem like it’s old, it’s always new,” Boera said. “I’ve been watching him for all these years and I still haven’t figured out some of his tricks.”
These performances, among many others, will culminate with the Street Dance. Powered by the Vermont Jazz Ensemble, the dance will return to the street for the first time in two years on Saturday at 7 p.m. For the McVeighs, the Spooners and many others in Addison County, the Festival on the Green is a shared tradition that holds years of memories and promises many more. “It’s an opportunity for the community to come together and enjoy music,” McVeigh said. “People just come out for it. There are people who are new to the event, and people who’ve been coming for twenty years. Everyone enjoys it.” More information is available at festivalonthegreen.org.

“I LIKE ANYTHING THAT REMINDS ME OF HOW SMALL AND VULNERABLE I AM AS A HUMAN ON THIS EARTH.”
Emilie Lee snapped a selfie en plein air.
Emilie Lee ON EXHIBIT AT EDGEWATER GALLERY, MIDDLEBURY
W
hen she’s not exploring, rock climbing or actively engaging in her love for the outdoors, Burlington artist Emilie Lee sits in front of a canvas, illustrating the beauty she sees in the environment around her.
The 35-year-old Vermont native’s ability to work close to where she grew up has been a recent achievement. Lee was raised on a farm in New Haven, and although she has lived in New York City and spent much of her career out west in Colorado, Utah and Wyoming, her desire to be around family ultimately drew her back to the Green Mountain State this past year. “I wanted to continue drawing (out west), but I ended up moving back to Vermont because of family, lifestyle and tradition,” Lee said. “Being so far away from family is not so good for me.” Lee’s artistic journey began in her childhood under the guidance of her mother, Laura Ellis Bruckmann, who is also an artist. “My mom supported and created an environment where creating art was part of everyday life,” said Lee. “I never thought of art as a strange thing to do.” By age 16, Lee had established her plan to become a professional painter. She studied illustration at the Rhode Island School of Design. She went on to study traditional realism, which follows traditional approaches of 19th Century European painting, with painter Jacob Collins in New York City and the community of artists at the Grand Central Atelier.
“Ball Mason” 12” x 10” - oil on linen
During this time in New York, Lee discovered her niche for plein-air painting, allowing her to incorporate her love for art with that of nature. While her portfolio contains still-lifes and portraits, Lee is most drawn to natural landscapes. Darker, more ominous tones capture the moods of the stormy landscape subjects she loves painting. “I like anything that reminds me of how small and vulnerable I am as a human on this earth,” Lee said. “I’ve been painting a lot of stormy water over the past few summers, and standing there in the blowing wind and rain is a total suffer-fest, but I feel a lot more energized and engaged with my subject in those conditions!” Having acquired experience and a depth of knowledge, Lee is now back where her passions for nature and art originated. Here in Vermont she is able to fully engage in her plein-air process where she paints first from life before returning to her Burlington studio. There, she works from memory, pencil sketches and color studies to complete her pieces. For Lee, painting acts both as a form of meditation and as a challenge. Lighting and atmospheric conditions are constantly changing as she strives to capture moments in time. “The process and experience (of painting) is meditative and peaceful,” Lee said. While she continues to explore remote landscapes inside and outside of Vermont, Lee can now enjoy her two passions of nature and art from the comfort of the place she has always called home. See Lee's paintings at Edgewater Gallery in Middlebury this month. Charmaine Lam contributed to this story. Lam is one of the Addison Independent summer interns. She is going into her senior year at Middlebury College.

Meet the chef Martin Lewis from Vermont Cheeseless
It’s
cheesecake. It’s vegan. And it’s delicious.
BY
Out of his home bakery in Starksboro, Martin Lewis is making vegan cheesecake after Ellie vegan cheesecake just REINHARDT to prove that, “Vegan can be delicious. Really.”
Vermont Cheeseless, the company that he runs with Susan Molloy, his partner of 20 years, is his way of sharing the importance of veganism with as many people as possible. “It’s very gratifying,” Lewis said. “It’s introducing people to a product that clearly says to them, you can be vegan and you don’t have to be deprived, even of a fantastic dessert.” When people are interested in learning more, Lewis emphasizes that veganism is an important part of improving personal health, helping the environment and, most directly, giving animals a chance to enjoy a full life. “No matter what, the end result is all of these animals,

exists to share the importance and delicious potential of being vegan, the business was born out of a simple mission: to make a vegan cheesecake that can compare to classic New York cheesecake.
When not in the kitchen, Lewis and Molloy are tending to their farm and the animals they consider household pets.
As a third generation native of Brooklyn, Lewis grew up on cheesecake.
“For us, they’re the equivalent of people having a dog or a cat in the house.

College at the University of Vermont, years moving between New York and Vermont and countless days without his favorite Lower-East-Side cheesecake was too much for Lewis. “The decision had to be made, what do you do? I decided to start experimenting. I am neither a chef, nor a professional baker, I’m just a guy who loves cheesecake,” he said. After years using his two sons as testers, Lewis perfected a recipe. “That became my stock and trade,” he said. “It was a hit. It really, really was good.” Many years and cheesecakes later, Lewis met Molloy and embraced a completely vegan lifestyle.

The ingredient list is: But veganism was too important, and the two returned to the kitchen. “It was the same process as when I made a conventional cheesecake,” he said. “You just experiment and put it together. It’s not rocket science.”
• 3 medium-sized bananas, mashed • 3/4 cup raisins • 3 tablespoons vanilla extract • 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
They began Vermont Cheeseless five years ago and since then have encouraged others to try the cheesecake and learn about a vegan lifestyle, hoping to spread awareness. “We both feel very strongly about it, and we feel like that movement towards that kind of diet and lifestyle, because its more than just a diet, will be the kind of thing that will help this planet in a million ways,” he said. Vermont Cheeseless offers three flavors of cheesecake, all dairy-free and gluten-free: chocolate, maple walnut and raspberry. They’re sold throughout Vermont, and in Addison County at the Middlebury Farmers’ Market, the Middlebury Natural Foods Coop, Almost Home Market in Bristol and Mountain Greens in Bristol.
• 2 cups uncooked old-fashioned oats • 3/4 cup almond milk (more if needed) Their instructions read: “Preheat oven to 350 F. Lightly oil a large baking dish. Mix all ingredients together except almond milk. Add enough almond milk until the mixture is thoroughly moist or even slightly wet. Pour into baking dish and bake for about 30 minutes. Slice into squares. Makes 3 servings.” Additionally, they suggest pcrm.org for more information and vegan recipes.

the movie OUR KIND OF TRAITOR — RUNNING TIME: 1:47 — RATING: R How can you miss when you build a movie on a novel by John LeCarre? Quite easily, it seems. “Our Kind of Traitor” starts out with some promising post-World War II ingredients: the Russian mafia, Britain’s MI6, and an unwitting courier. An effective spy thriller requires sharp direction and a knife-edged script, and this one falls instead into the well of mistakes common to Grade B spy stories. We meet Perry (Ewan McGregor), a professor of Poetics at a London university and his girlfriend, Gail (Naomi Harris), a British lawyer, as they travel in Marrakesh. After Gail goes to their room early (something, we’re not sure what, is wrong between them), Perry is approached by Dima (Stellan Skarsgard), a Russian who comes on strong and persuades Perry to accompany him to a nightclub where drunken sex reigns. The professor of Poetics is chosen by the Russian mobster to deliver a piece of paper to MI6. This will ensure, Dima says, the safety of his family who can only survive if Britain protects them in exchange for the paper in Perry’s hands. It took a fair amount of concentration to understand that premise sunk as it was in the surrounding debauchery, melodramatic music and background imagery that resembles an abstract painting on fast forward. The extremely competent Stellan Skarsgard is asked here to portray a wild-eyed, threatening Russian mobster caught in the danger of his profession. The scriptwriter makes the inexcusable mistake of having Dima scream repeatedly some form of the marvelous word F - - -. So effective with its terrific consonant strength when used sparingly and at just the right times, so destructive in constant repetition, it turns Dima into a dunce. By this time we are worried about Perry and Gail who are caught in a mobster plot that plunges into absolute confusion as a small army of characters is introduced. In that sharp-edged spy plot we long for, a few whose missions are clear convey the fear and danger of their situation.
Ewan McGregor and Naomie Harris in Our Kind of Traitor (2016).
In this muddle of people and purpose, Naomi Harris manages to create a memorable character in Gail, a strong British lawyer with a mind and heart big enough to step up when she sees injustice. In a key role, she shines. Hector, the MI6 man (Damien Lewis) does a good job as a featured player whose motives aren’t clear. A somewhat irrelevant question: The spy safe house takes us to mountains and woods — why do filmmakers always take us into deep, dark woods when danger is imminent? This is a movie dark in every way with a tepid, if honorable, hero and a dreary villain. I asked myself if my negative reaction might be due in part to the fact that I sat absolutely alone in a big theater with the inescapable feeling that the mobster might be sneaking up behind me. But the new emptiness of movie theaters is another story for another time, a sad one indeed. — Reviewed by Joan Ellis
the book GEORGIA — BY DAWN TRIPP This stunning historical novel exploring Georgia O’Keeffe, her love affair with photographer Alfred Stieglitz and her quest to become an independent artist, is a must-read. Dawn Tripp has created a vibrant portrait of an enigmatic woman and artist. In 1916, O’Keeffe, a young art teacher, travels to New York to meet Stieglitz, the noted photographer and art dealer, who has discovered her work and exhibits it in his gallery. Their connection is instantaneous. She is drawn into his world, eventually becoming his mistress and muse. His famed photographs of her create a sensation but also a distraction. But when she begins to receive genuine accolades for her own original work, her naïveté wanes and her confidence grows, helping her come into her own. Each environment O’Keeffe inhabits ― Taos, New York City, Lake George ― and her relationship with Alfred Stieglitz, himself a fascinating figure, is robustly, and sensuously, depicted. I was reluctant to leave the enchanted presence of Georgia, and the world lovingly and meticulously drawn by Tripp. A wonderful book. Come see Author Dawn Tripp present Georgia at the Town Hall Theater in Middlebury on Wednesday, July 20 at 7 p.m. Suggested donation of $5 at the door. — Reviewed by Jenny Lyons of the Vermont Bookshop in Middlebury.
