Trey Can Pay

ake Champlain ferries mogul Trey Pecor earned more than $5 million from the sale of Burlington Telecom. In the weeks since, he’s given $1 million to city projects. Burlington Mayor Miro Weinberger and former mayor Peter Clavelle acknowledge that they’ve prodded Pecor to spread the wealth. “Certainly, his capacity for philanthropy has gone up as a result of Burlington Telecom,” Weinberger said. Pecor declined to comment, emailing Seven Days that he and his family “love Burlington, but not attention.” His wife, Dominique, was the guest of honor last week at the Old North End Community Center when officials unveiled a sign for the newly named Pecor Family Gymnasium and Performance Hall. The couple donated $500,000 to the center, which is nearing the end of a $2.2 million fundraising campaign. Champlain Housing Trust purchased the old St. Joseph School on Allen Street in 2017 and leases space to nonprofits. “Thank you for inviting us to be part of this project,” Dominique told the crowd, adding that her husband was traveling. “Our family has enjoyed the benefits of this city and region immensely, and for the two of us, it’s really a privilege to be in a position to give back in this way.” The donation was the center’s largest, according Clavelle, who has led the fundraising campaign. The Pecors also

pledged $500,000 last month to the controversial Burlington City Hall Park redevelopment. After former mayor Bob Kiss diverted $17 million in city funds in 2009 to prop up the beleaguered telecom, creditor Citibank sued the city. Burlington reached a settlement, but its poor credit meant that banks refused to lend it cash. In 2014, Pecor formed an LLC named Blue Water Holdings, borrowed $6 million from Merchants Bank and loaned the cash to the city for the settlement. In addition to his money back, the deal also promised him 40 percent of the net proceeds from the telecom’s eventual sale. Schurz Communications finalized its purchase of BT for $30.8 million in mid-March. The city made about $7 million. Pecor, whose family owns Lake Champlain Transportation, reaped about $11.1 million. The large private payout was part of the reason Councilor Max Tracy (P-Ward 2) would have preferred to sell BT to the co-op Keep Burlington Telecom Local. “That’s why taking the higher bid wasn’t necessarily the best,” he said. Schurz paid more to the city, but “a lot of that money was going to go to other people.” Still, Tracy said he was pleased to hear some money was being invested in the community. “It’s always welcome,” he said.

AN OG WOMAN IN STEM The name “Ada Lovelace” sounds like a curtsy and a combat boot to your petticoat all at once. And that sort of sums her up: The daughter of bad-boy Romantic poet George Gordon Byron, who ditched her and her mother when she was an infant, Ada was a mathematical whiz who shared her father’s lust for life. But she lived in an era when women of her social class were generally treated like show poodles.

WE’RE IN A MID-19THCENTURY WORLD FOR MOST OF THE PLAY,

PRESENTED THROUGH A FEMINIST LENS. R E B E C C A S TRU M

The play Ada and the Engine, presented by MIDDLEBURY ACTORS WORKSHOP, explores her complicated inner world — and the almost-love affair that changed her life. The play, which runs from April 11 through 14, features an original score by

Middlebury College music professor PETER HAMLIN. His colleague in the math department, MIKE OLINICK, lent his expertise as a consulting producer. Following the closing Sunday matinee performance, Olinick will join the cast and crew for a talkback with the audience. Ada and the Engine, written by Lauren Gunderson, premiered in Berkeley, Calif., in October 2015. The plot centers on Ada’s relationship with Charles Babbage, a British mathematician and zany inventor type 24 years her senior, with whom she had the kind of Vulcan mind meld that characterizes all great affairs. When she and Babbage meet, Ada, played by MARY KRANTZ, is 17 and bursting with polynomials, and she’d rather eat flies than languish in domesticity. In that fateful first encounter, Babbage, played by STEVE SMALL, a founding member of MAW, shows Ada the prototype of his “difference engine,” a widget capable of crunching numbers with speed and accuracy beyond human capability. Ensorcelled, Ada asks Babbage to be her pen pal. He agrees, and the two eventually develop a high-octane friendship that no one — including Ada’s husband, Lord Lovelace, whom AN OG WOMAN

Chard deNiord Considers Influences, Rituals and Being Vermont’s Poet Laureate B Y C HELSEA ED GA R

COURTESY OF LIZ DENIORD

ermont’s eighth poet laureate, CHARD DENIORD, is technically a lame duck. His four-year tenure ends this coming November, and the VERMONT ARTS COUNCIL has begun seeking nominations for his successor. In the meantime, deNiord is not, to loosely paraphrase Dylan Thomas, going gentle into that good night. Two or three days a week, he makes the two-and-a-halfhour trek from his home in Westminster West to Providence College in Rhode Island, where he teaches English and creative writing. To pass the time in the car, he memorizes poetry and listens to audiobooks — most recently, Moby-Dick, which, by his estimate, consumed approximately two weeks’ worth of driving. Despite all that commuting, deNiord has somehow managed to co-edit a poetry anthology with former Vermont poet laureate SYDNEY LEA, give readings at schools and community venues across the state, lead workshops, write bimonthly articles for the Brattleboro Reformer and Valley News, interview dozens of other poets for various projects, and complete his sixth book of poetry, In My Unknowing, due out next year from the University of Pittsburgh Press. As his term nears its end, deNiord corresponded with Seven Days by email about his work, the hectic life of a poet laureate and the merits of uncomfortable chairs.

POETRY

no longer write sermons — at least, I hope I don’t.

SD: In your view, how does the public benefit when a state has a designated poet laureate? CD: When a state sets a high standard for its poets laureate, as Vermont has over the past 70 years, it leads its residents with language that complements its laws, traditions and customs with what the poet W.H. Auden called “memorable speech.” So, in vital mimetic ways, strong poets both bear witness to and reflect ineluctable truths about human nature and events. One can’t read “Home Burial” by Robert Frost or “Headwaters” by ELLEN VOIGT or “The Bear” by Galway Kinnell or “Mock Orange” by Louise Glück or “Speculation” by Ruth Stone and not be deeply moved and enlightened at the same time, even changed. Poets challenge their readers to exercise their imaginations and, in so doing, prompt them to commit what the poet William Blake said was the most “sublime act,” namely, “to set another before you.” A strong poet laureate succeeds in accomplishing both a literary and political feat by deepening its citizenry’s appreciation for others. Vermont’s poets laureate consistently have done just this, while also memorializing its heavenly landscape, its fierce sense of independence, and its paradoxical motto: “Freedom and unity.”

SD: Do you have any rituals around your work — tons of caffeine, no caffeine, designated writing hours, special slippers, etc.? CD: It seems like I’m always writing on the run. I have no rituals. I do sit in a particular chair when I’m home that’s not very comfortable. I keep telling myself that I should find a more comfortable chair, but I never do. Perhaps it’s best that way: to be always a little uncomfortable. I write whenever I can, usually early in the morning. I find that if I don’t finish at

SD: What does being a poet laureate actually entail? CD: The Vermont Arts Council wisely leaves it up to each new poet laureate to design his or her own “job description.” The position is honorary, so it comes with only a relatively small stipend of $1,000. Fortunately, I am not formally “required” to do anything. I have been asked occasionally to write “occasional” poems, which I’m not very adept at. I think the only poem I’m required to write is an occasional poem for the induction of the

STRANGE RELATIONSHIP WITH POETRY. CHA RD D E N IORD

SEVEN DAYS: You worked as an aide in a psychiatric hospital and earned a master’s in divinity before dedicating yourself to teaching and writing full time. How do those experiences inform your work as a poet? CHARD DENIORD: I’ve only written one poem, titled “Happy Hour,” about my experience working at the Connecticut Mental Health Center in New Haven in the early ’80s. I’ve often tried writing about my experience there, but I have found the stories and language of the people 24

I treated too challenging or difficult to translate into poetry. But dealing with life-and-death issues on a daily basis in a large urban mental health facility helped me think philosophically, psychologically and creatively about human nature and behavior in profoundly new ways. As a divinity school student, I spent most of my time writing pretty turgid papers about theological and biblical topics. I was also writing poetry, but it was pretty awful. My homiletics professor gave me memorable feedback one day after I had delivered a sample sermon in his class. “DeNiord,” he said, “your poems are too preachy and your sermons too poetic.” I

she marries at her mother’s urging — seems particularly thrilled about. “The play imagines a frustrated love relationship between Ada and Charles, which is never consummated, but it’s also about mathematics and a brilliant, remarkable woman,” says MELISSA LOURIE, MAW’s artistic director, who appears briefly onstage as Mary Somerville, Ada’s tutor and mentor. As the play unfolds, Ada sees in Babbage’s plans for the difference engine the potential for even greater creative power. Her most significant contribution, later disputed by some scientists and scholars, was the development of an algorithm that would have allowed the machine to calculate a sequence of Bernoulli numbers, a breakthrough for which she has been deemed the world’s first computer programmer. But Ada would never live to see her vision realized: She died of ovarian cancer at age 36, the same age as her father at his death.

next poet laureate. But I’ll have to check on that. SD: As we spend an increasing proportion of our lives online, how do you think our relationship with poetry is changing? CD: America has always had a strange relationship with poetry. While some of its most important government and political documents are pure poetry, such as the Declaration of Independence and the Gettysburg Address, only 6 percent of all Americans, according to the latest National Endowment for the Arts survey, read poetry or literary fiction. So, while the internet has made poetry and literature more accessible to the general population in unprecedented ways, it has also shortened people’s attention span and distracted them away from poetry with such synchronic lures as Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and news that doesn’t stay news. I’ve been working pretty hard as the poet laureate of Vermont to spread “the word” about poetry as a vital, life-changing art form that’s hiding in the open. SD: Which poets, or other writers, do you read most often? Which writers and poets have had the biggest influence on you? CD: I’m a catholic reader, with a small c. I review a lot for the Harvard Review and the online journal Plume, so poetry books pile up on my desk. The poet I

Director REBECCA STRUM was drawn to Ada and the Engine for its strong female lead and relevance to the rising profile of women in STEM today. “We’re in a mid-19th-century world for most of the play, presented through a feminist lens, which was very appealing to me,” says Strum, who directed MAW’s Cutting Edge Off-Broadway Play Reading Series last fall. “The play is really about an incredible woman, who envisioned a future where computers would be able to create art and music.”

What Created the Weird Dirt Formations in a Shelburne Meadow?

ight now, Vermonters are ankledeep in mud season, that ugly time of year when melting snow unearths winter’s longconcealed objects: toddlers’ bikes, errant Frisbees, windblown recyclables, dogs’ lost chew toys. Debris isn’t all that the receding snow cover reveals. In mid-March, Tim Guiterman spotted an unusual dirt formation in a meadow near his Shelburne home and emailed photos to see if we could figure out what it was. “It looks like an alien made it,” he wrote, suggesting that the nearest description would be “a wig of dreadlocks laid on the grass.” After a little digging on our part, the culprit turned out to be no stranger to the Vermont landscape. According to Alyssa Bennett, a small-mammal biologist with the Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department, those dirt mounds appear to be mole burrows. Based on the photos, Bennett couldn’t identify which species created them, but she suggested the likeliest contenders are two species common in the state: the hairy-tailed mole and the star-nosed mole. Guiterman’s reference to an alien life form isn’t that far afield. The starnosed mole is a freaky-faced forager with fossorial forefeet that resembles a Dr. Seuss character. Spotted with a flashlight after nightfall, it would scare the bejesus out of most kids — and probably plenty of adults. Though moles resemble rodents, Bennett noted that they’re actually insectivores that burrow just beneath the surface while hunting for food. Their bug-laden diet includes spiders, ants, grubs, beetles, larvae and earthworms. Because moles don’t hibernate, they dig underground all winter and shovel soil to the surface, which only becomes visible once the snow disappears. “They will have other places that they’re mining much further below the surface,” Bennett explained, perhaps as far as two feet down, where they excavate runways and dens for nesting. Indeed, these solitary subsurface dwellers are ideally suited to underground living, with tiny eyes; sleek, velvety fur; and paddlelike front claws that are adept at digging. “The star-nosed mole is amazing,” Bennett said. “They actually swim pretty well and are often found in wet environments … We’ve even found star-nosed moles in some of the duck nesting boxes out at Dead Creek [Wildlife Area],” a state

wildlife management area in Addison and Ferrisburgh. How can the casual observer tell mole burrows apart from the work of a gopher, aka the arch-nemesis of Carl Spackler, the marble-mouthed groundskeeper played by Bill Murray in the 1980 film Caddyshack? Gophers create holes and mounds, Bennett said, not rippled trails of dirt. While some gardeners grouse about moles gnawing on their carrots, potatoes, turnips and other root veggies, Bennett said moles generally leave those plants alone. (The more likely offenders are voles and mice.) Those who are finicky about maintaining a pristine lawn or a level putting green also consider the animals pests. But, as Bennett pointed out, moles serve useful ecological functions. “Although some people find the mole paths unsightly, it is helping to aerate the soil in many cases,” she said. “And they feed on larvae and grubs, which can be pests to lawns.” Moles consume 70 to 100 percent of their body mass every day, which means they’re pulling their own weight in the pest-control department. Which raises

another interesting question: Since moles also eat earthworms, are they helping to control those pervasive invasives? As my 6-year-old son likes to say, “Wait! What?” Turns out, many of those fat earthworms that appear on sidewalks and dirt roads after a rainstorm aren’t actually from these parts. Invasive earthworms are creating problems for Vermont’s forests, including some sugarbushes. According to a January 2018 report from the University of Vermont’s Entomology Research Laboratory, invasive worms first came to New England with European settlers in the 1600s. Their spread was sped by human activities such as fishing (since they’re used as bait) and the transport of plants and mulch. Of particular concern are three Asian species that threaten the northeastern hardwood forests: Amynthas agrestis, Amynthas tokioensis and Metaphire hilgendorfi. The problem with these unwanted wigglers is that they gobble up leaf litter on the forest floor, reducing the soil’s productivity and preventing the germination of many seeds, including those of maples. Loss of that thick mat of dead leaves also dries out the soil and harms the health of existing trees.

Because Bennett is a mammal specialist who spends most of her time working to protect Vermont’s endangered bat species, she couldn’t say whether moles were making much of a dent in Vermont’s invasive worm population. But Josef Görres, an associate professor in UVM’s Plant and Soil Science Department, sounded a pessimistic note. As he explained via email, “I am thinking that earthworm numbers are too large, and that the earthworms (crazy snake worms) that we are concerned with actually spend most of their time at the surface or really close to the surface and move fast, so they can probably escape being eaten by moles.” Whatever their worm impact, moles do aerate the soil and bring surface nutrients down to plant roots. So, the next time you spot their rippled roads crisscrossing your otherwise perfect lawn, try not to make a mountain out of a molehill — leave them be. m Contact: ken@sevendaysvt.com

How the opioid epidemic drives sexual exploitation in Vermont PART OF “HOOKED,” A YEARLONG SERIES BY KATE O’NEILL

GLENN RUSSELL

SEVEN DAYS APRIL 10-17, 2019

was sitting at my kitchen table on a hot August afternoon in 2013 when I got a call from a number I didn’t recognize. I answered, hoping that it was my sister, whom I hadn’t talked to for several weeks. This wasn’t entirely unusual — Maddie was addicted to heroin and would sometimes disappear for days or weeks. As always when I hadn’t heard from her, I was worried. But it wasn’t my sister’s voice I heard on the line, it was a man who introduced himself as a Brooklyn police detective. I paced as he explained that my sister had been arrested. She was safe, he assured me, though withdrawing from heroin. He emphasized that I needed to pick her up as soon as she was arraigned. I needed to put her directly in a car and take her out of New York City.

is unclear: Maddie told my mom at the time she’d be seeing a Broadway show. She told me later she thought she was going to make fake credit cards. She told our sister Maura that she was muling heroin. After she’d been there for a week, she called her best friend and asked her to come get her. She said that when she got to New York everything had seemed fine, but now the men she was with were giving her drugs to make her stay. She didn’t know where she was but said she’d call back soon with an address. A week later she called her friend again. This time she was frantic, screaming. She had grabbed a phone, run to the bathroom and locked herself inside. Her friend could hear pounding on the door as Maddie begged to be picked up, but my sister didn’t know where she was.

The 2000 federal Victims of Trafficking and Violence Protection Act defines it as “a commercial sex act ... induced by force, fraud or coercion, or in which the person induced to perform such act has not attained 18 years of age.” What’s the difference between sex trafficking and what’s commonly referred to as prostitution? Force, fraud and coercion. Prostitution, also called commercial sex work, is when an adult voluntarily exchanges sex for money or something else of value. Sex trafficking is prostitution that an adult does not choose to participate in. Minors cannot legally consent to exchanging sex for something of value, whether that be cash, drugs, food or a place to sleep, so anytime a minor participates in commercial sex they’re being trafficked.

He was vague when I asked what was going on, and I didn’t bother asking my sister when he finally put her on the phone. I thought it was because she was dopesick that her voice sounded so flat, a slab of gray slate with a thin crack of despondence running through it. It wasn’t until the next day when he called back that the detective finally explained his urgency: My sister had been sex trafficked by some “bad guys,” and it wasn’t safe for her in New York. What I know of my sister’s experience there is like scraps of paper snatched from the wind as they fluttered by, each one written on by a different hand. Maddie’s trip was arranged by a woman she bought drugs from in St. Albans, though its purpose

If you believe you or someone you know is being trafficked in Vermont, call 2-1-1 to get help. If you are a trafficking victim, this will not trigger the involvement of law enforcement unless you want it to. To contact the National Human Trafficking Hotline, call 1-888-3737888 or text 233733. If you or someone you know is in immediate danger, call 9-1-1.

The detective explained to me that Maddie had been held in a motel room by people who had taken her photo, posted it on a website used to advertise commercial sex, and coerced her into having sex with men who responded to the ad by withholding heroin and threatening her with withdrawal. She was arrested when the police pulled over her traffickers and found her in the car. They used the drug paraphernalia in her pocket as an excuse to arrest her: They knew she was in trouble. Because there was a warrant out for Maddie’s arrest, she was not released after her arraignment. Instead she went from being held captive in a motel room where she was forced to have sex with strangers to being jailed for six weeks at Rikers Island before she was extradited to Vermont. The first time I visited her at Rikers she cried as she told me she couldn’t talk about what happened to her. “It was really, really bad, Katie,” she said, and extended her arms to show where she had been burned with cigarettes.

Force, Fraud and Coercion

When I got that phone call six years ago, I thought sex trafficking was something that happened to people in other countries or to women who were brought to this country to work in massage parlors. I had no idea it was something that could happen to my sister. In part that’s because I didn’t understand what sex trafficking is.

Sex trafficking is happening throughout the United States, including in Vermont. “It’s not just in Rutland, it’s not just in Burlington and South Burlington,” said Matt Prouty, a commander with the Rutland City Police Department. “It’s happening in every community — rural, urban, you name it.” Police, prosecutors and advocates I spoke with described the problem as “big” and “sizable,” even “rampant” in the state, but I was warned that what little data there are don’t reflect the scope of the problem; sex trafficking is significantly underreported. A federal grant application submitted last year by the statewide Human Trafficking Task Force shows that the number of victims who received services in Vermont jumped by almost 400 percent between 2015 and 2017, from 31 to 150 people. The number of sex trafficking investigations doubled in that same period of time, from 31 to 64. And the number of prosecutions nearly tripled, from two to seven. One of the defendants was Diheim Young, who in 2016 became the first person to be convicted of sex trafficking in Vermont. Later this month, Brian Folks is expected to be the first accused sex trafficker to go before a Vermont jury. Folks has been charged with trafficking five adult women and one minor, though there are many more identified and unidentified victims, according to Abigail Averbach,

who was the lead prosecutor on the case before leaving the U.S. Attorney’s Office earlier this year. Both Folks and Young were charged with sex and drug trafficking. Both allegedly used heroin to coerce girls and women into the sex trade. The definition of coercion includes “threats of serious harm”; two separate court cases in 2015 established that opioid withdrawal qualifies as serious harm. “When somebody is withdrawing or detoxing from opiates,” explained Aron Steward, assistant clinical director of Woodside Juvenile Rehabilitation Center in Colchester, “they are willing to do anything not to be withdrawing and detoxing from opiates,” which makes them vulnerable to being trafficked. “We have drug pushers that have figured out, ‘Hey … if females are addicted [to opioids] we can get control of them, and we can use them profitably to enter them into the sex trade,’” said Lance Burnham, a detective lieutenant with the Vermont State Police. And the sex trade is profitable, “far more lucrative than drug trafficking,” according to Cindy Maguire, an assistant Vermont attorney general. “It’s a much better business model,” said Averbach, a former assistant U.S. attorney in the state. “You can sell a bag of dope only one time, but you can sell a girl over and over and over again.”

A Thin Line

On January 3, 2001, a Vermont teenager was found murdered in a Bronx apartment. Christal Jones, 16, was one of more than a dozen Vermont teenagers and women who had been brought to New York as part of what was described at the time as a “prostitution and heroin ring.” No one was ever charged with Jones’ death, but two people, Jose Rodriguez and Beverly Holland, were eventually convicted of running two separate businesses in which they lured girls and women from Vermont to New York to do commercial sex work. There is nothing to indicate that heroin was a part of Holland’s operation, but the girls under Rodriguez’s control, including Jones, did use heroin, and he was ultimately convicted of giving it to one of them. Jones “was one of our really profound first exposures to this world” said Jackie Corbally, who worked with her in 1999 and HOOKED SEVEN DAYS APRIL 10-17, 2019

It was really new for Vermont, and … there are times where the state has been really naïve.” What happened to Jones and more than a dozen other girls and women was seen as an anomaly; most Vermonters remained naïve about sex trafficking for more than another decade. The state was one of the last in the country to enact its own human trafficking statute, in 2011. Even then it did so not because there was a perceived problem — “the driving force was the fact that Vermont did not [yet] have a statute,” according to Maguire. “There’s a thin line between prostitution and sex trafficking,” a trafficking survivor told me. In the decade after Jones’ death, Colchester Police Lt. Jim Roy would frequently run into situations that he said had “all the earmarks” of commercial sex work at area hotels. At the time many viewed prostitution as a “victimless crime,” according to Roy, a transaction between two consenting adults that, while illegal, wasn’t hurting anyone. But this idea outraged him. He said he began having “heated conversations” about the fact that “there are victims all down the line of this.” He described the signs of addiction he saw in women doing commercial sex work: “visible use marks ... veins just all full of puncture holes and blown out from injecting in spots.” “For a long time people were saying there is a choice involved,” said Steward, “so it wasn’t trafficking, it wasn’t a chargeable offense. It was simply a job choice. And in Vermont ... people were just saying, ‘It simply doesn’t happen here.’” When I asked Heather Ross, a former assistant U.S. attorney who prosecuted Young and served as the cochair of Vermont’s Human Trafficking Task Force for three years, whether the problem had been overlooked or was just starting to explode in the past several years, she said, “Yes to both. I do think the opiate addiction crisis has created this horrible situation where people can be so easily controlled by their addiction because the addiction itself is so powerful. But do I also think we were missing it? Yes. I think ... it was happening, and we were not aware.” If any of the women Roy encountered were being trafficked, they weren’t 30

reporting it. But the crime is rarely reported. Most people who experience it aren’t even aware of what sex trafficking is, let alone that it’s happening to them. The language they use to describe their experience is the lingo of commercial sex — the life, the game, hustling, going on dates. They see themselves as prostitutes, not victims of sex trafficking. “Somebody is trafficked over a period of time,” Averbach explained, “so you’re not getting raped, beaten, burned, threatened each and every time you go out and commit a commercial sex act. You only really need to beat somebody one time. And the rest of the time, you can just threaten to do that again. And so it looks and starts to feel like choice.” Some trafficking victims aren’t raped, beaten or burned at all, making the line between trafficking and choice even more difficult to see. Stigma is also a barrier to reporting. “The shame is so great,” said Ross, who now works in private practice in Burlington. “I encountered so many victim survivors who felt as if because they had made some bad choices” — using drugs, for example — “therefore everything that happened to them they thought they were responsible for, no matter how bad ... They’ve normalized the experience, they’re ashamed of the experience, they feel guilt. That’s all part of the traffickers’ manipulation as well.” Because sex trafficking is not reported, it must be discovered, and because no one

was looking for it in Vermont in the decade after Christal Jones’ death, no one was finding it.

‘Something Didn’t Seem Right’

In 2011, the same year Vermont finally passed its statute, then-assistant U.S. attorney Ross got what is referred to as a “duty case” — federal prosecutors rotate who is on duty to respond to situations that need immediate attention, and Ross happened to be on call when law enforcement came across a car pulled over on the side of a Vermont road. The driver said he was trying to find a farm and had gotten lost. His passenger, a woman in her thirties, was undocumented and had a conviction for prostitution in her home country. She had no idea where she was. “Something about this even in 2011 didn’t seem right,” Ross said. An investigation revealed the driver had brought the woman up from New York City to perform commercial sex work with laborers at farms. That particular case was ultimately not prosecuted as sex trafficking, but Ross and assistant AG Maguire decided to reconfigure the task force that had originally been established to create a human trafficking statute. They invited law enforcement, including Prouty and Burnham, to join, and they focused on training police working in the drug world. “We did that because we already had the infrastructure in place,” said Maguire. “We

had cops on the street that were very eager to do drug work.” Police were trained to look at drug scenes differently, to recognize that “if there’s a woman present ... they are likely to be a trafficking victim.” Burnham, who had been in law enforcement for 14 years when he was appointed to the task force in 2013, said that he “didn’t know what [sex trafficking] was, didn’t know it existed.” He had risen through the ranks working in the state’s criminal division, where he’d handled sexual assault and child abuse cases in the special investigations unit. When he walked into his first meeting with the task force, he was thinking, “We don’t have this problem in Vermont, I know nothing about this, I would have heard about this ... It’s not something I want to waste my time with.” He left feeling “overwhelmed. I didn’t know the issue was as bad as it was. It was an eye-opening experience, to say the least.” “There was a lot of educating about what human trafficking looks like and how people can be controlled through their addiction and that control and force and fraud and coercion [are not] that oldfashioned view of someone locked up in a basement,” said Ross. “There are many, many other ways to control people.” “When I wasn’t looking for it, I didn’t realize it was a problem,” Prouty said. “As I started to educate myself ... the light bulb went on. Then all of a sudden I’m seeing it everywhere.”

A Federal Case

COURTESY OF BURLINGTON POLICE DEPARTMENT

I didn’t interview any of the women Brian Folks is accused of sex trafficking, so I can’t tell you what they look like, where they grew up, whether they have kids. I don’t even know their names; court documents identify them by numbers and letters — Victim 1, Minor Victim E — or initials. But after reading those documents I can tell you some of what law enforcement saw when it finally started looking. Everything that follows is either summarized or taken verbatim from documents filed in the Folks case, including affidavits from law enforcement officers. Everything here is alleged to have happened; Brian Folks pleaded not guilty to all of the charges against him and has not yet gone to trial, let alone been convicted. Folks’ lawyer had no comment for this article. From June 2012 through March 2016 Folks allegedly ran a pair of “separate, yet intertwined illegal businesses” in Burlington. One was a prostitution business; the other sold heroin and crack. Women who worked for Folks’ prostitution business often worked for his drug business, as well, bagging or moving drugs.

Several months after she began working for his drug operation, Folks suggested to Victim 1 that she work for him as a prostitute. She wouldn’t at first, but eventually Folks refused to give her heroin, and when she started to become dopesick, he took her to a hotel where she “had her first ‘date’ as a prostitute.” Afterward, Folks picked her up, took more than half of what she had been paid and let her have heroin. After that, Folks, “supplied her with a steady stream of heroin ... in what appeared to be an effort to keep her compliant.” Victim 2 was already doing commercial sex work when she met Folks, who responded to her online ad. At their first “date,” Folks asked Victim 2 if he could pay her using heroin instead of money, and she agreed. Folks became her dealer, and she paid him for drugs with cash or sex. Folks asked Victim 2 to work for him as a prostitute, but she refused until she was dopesick. Folks tried to withhold drugs until she’d had her first “date” working for him, but after Victim 2 protested he provided her with a small amount of drugs and promised to give her more afterward.

Later this month, Brian Folks is expected to be the first accused sex trafficker to go to trial before a Vermont jury. In 2012, Victim 4, who was 17 and homeless, fell in love with Folks and soon started having sex with him. When she first heard that Folks prostituted women and sold drugs, she didn’t believe it, but when she needed money and asked Folks for help, he took photos of her in her bra and underwear and posted them on Backpage, a website that at the time was used to advertise commercial sex. While at first Folks let her have half the money she made, he eventually began keeping it all. Victim 1 met Brian Folks in May 2015 and immediately began working for his drug business. Among other duties, Victim 1 said she and other women bagged heroin and crack, which Folks would sometimes demand that they do naked or in their underwear.

At a trailer in Colchester, Folks used his phone to take “sexually suggestive” photos of Victim 2 and posted them on Backpage. After receiving a response, he drove Victim 2 to the parking lot of the Staples in South Burlington, where she had sex with the man who had responded to the ad in exchange for $100. Folks allegedly prostituted dozens of women, some through force, fraud or coercion. Once he’d recruited them, he’d post photos of them on Backpage. He kept track of the money they earned and took some or all of it. If they didn’t want to do commercial sex work, Folks forced some of them to, using threats of and actual physical and sexual violence and by withholding the heroin they were addicted to. He created a “climate of fear” that

involved extorting and blackmailing women by threatening to post sexually explicit photos of them online, and then actually doing so, as well as forcing them to have sex with him and his friends before he would let them have heroin. Women who refused or broke his rules were “violated” by Folks — his term to describe punishment. When one of the alleged victims stole five bags of heroin, Folks told her she was lucky he didn’t kill her and that she’d have to “work off” what she’d taken. He drove her to a cemetery near Riverside Avenue in Burlington, where he gave her heroin and forced her to have sex with him next to a dumpster. Folks made videos in which he “coerced women to engage in humiliating conduct as a method of degrading them in order to further control them.” In one video series which, according to court documents, Folks called “That’s my bitch you’re violating,” he urinated on two of his drug workers. In another video he announced, “‘I’m just pissing on bitches, man, I’m gonna see how far I can go.’” I don’t know who these women are. I don’t know if they have brown hair or blond, if they like to stay inside on rainy days and binge-watch Netflix or go out without an umbrella and feel the rain on their skin. What I do know is that they are not what you just read; they are not what is in those court documents. That is who Folks is alleged to be. If convicted of sex trafficking, he could spend the rest of his life in prison.

Trial and Errors

Folks and Young aren’t the only men charged with sex trafficking in Vermont. Timothy Galloway was convicted at the state level. And Naquan Bowie, Anthony Smith, Gary Delima and Sharif Cargo were all charged with sex trafficking but ended up pleading guilty to or being convicted of other crimes, usually drug- or gun-related. Prosecuting sex trafficking cases is challenging, for myriad reasons. “It takes a long time for these cases to play out,” said Averbach, “and in that year or so that it takes to get from charging to verdict, people relapse, people die, people leave the state, people are trafficked again, they become homeless, we lose them.” Not only that, testifying can be “retraumatizing” for victims. As a result, prosecutors sometimes allow perpetrators to “plead to something like a drug crime or a firearms count ... that doesn’t depend on the victim taking the stand and exposing all of the trauma that happened to her,” said Averbach. Even in a best-case scenario when a victim is willing and able to testify, “Our legal system generally, and our criminal justice system in particular, is not very

conducive to understanding how trauma impacts someone,” said Ross. For example, juries are instructed to judge the credibility of a witness. Someone who has been sex trafficked “typically doesn’t recall information in a linear fashion,” according to Ross; instead they remember “snatches” of what happened to them. “Our justice system historically has told us that if someone can’t give you a story from A to Z, [if there are] inconsistencies in their story, [that] suggests that they’re not credible. Well, that doesn’t really match with what we know about how trauma affects people and their ability to recall and recite what happened to them.” It’s been three years since Folks was initially arrested, seven since his first victim was allegedly trafficked. The case has been delayed numerous times and is on its fourth trial date, which is April 23. Victims and witnesses have died. A significant delay occurred when one of Folks’ lawyers withdrew from representing him. To protect witnesses in the case from being publicly identified, a protective order states that Folks, who is in prison, is “not to be left alone with” the government’s witness list, among other materials. But the lawyer inadvertently mailed Folks a copy of the list, which includes the names of his victims. Folks then sent the list to his wife, and it was subsequently photographed and posted on Facebook, according to statements in a court transcript. “The only purpose of disseminating the list such as this is to quiet these witnesses, to intimidate them, to harass them, and to not cooperate with the government and not be able to testify at trial,” Averbach argued during a hearing on the matter. The judge at the hearing apparently agreed, chastising Folks’ then-lawyer: “This is how people get murdered, right?”

‘I Owed Him’

Sitting in my living room with her baby sleeping in a car seat beside her, Kathleen told me she was sure her trafficker was going to murder her when she left him, how he would sit in the parking lot of the clinic where she got her methadone, just out of range of the security cameras, and point a gun at her. “The message was basically come back or die,” she said. Kathleen (not her real name) is tall, her dark red hair pulled into a thin ponytail, with icy blue eyes set deeply in their sockets. It’s easier to imagine her at the wheel of a station wagon driving her daughter to the grocery store than walking “the strip” in the small southern city where she was trafficked eight years ago.

her own life. “Drugs were the only thing I lived for,” she said. “I was hoping that I would die at some point. I wanted it to end, I wanted to die without my son, without having a purpose. I didn’t care about myself anymore.” For 10 months Kathleen worked for her trafficker, having sex with buyers she met on the strip or who responded to an ad on Backpage. And then she learned that her son and his father were living not too far away; she had a reason to live. “I wanted to clean up,” she said, “and I wanted to be part of my son’s life again if at all possible.” At that point, “I felt like I could never leave, I was afraid to, but because he told me I was allowed to, I decided to try it.” One of her customers had told her that if she ever wanted to get out of the life she could come and live with him. She paid her trafficker the $20 she owed him and even gave him a tip, and then told him she was leaving. “He took out a nightstick in front of the other girls and beat me from head to toe,” she said. “I ripped three toenails off trying to get away from him. He split my head open.” And then he locked her in a room in the apartment they called the brothel; he cleaned her wounds; he apologized for beating her; but “he told me it was for my own good and that I needed to stay in line now.” For two weeks he kept her locked in that room, but he didn’t leave her alone

there. He would bring customers to the room and force her to have sex with them, and in between “he would give me small amounts of substances to get me through.” Two weeks later, he let her out of the room thinking she had learned her lesson and sent her out on the strip. When she recognized an undercover cop, she saw an opportunity and propositioned him to get herself arrested. After she was released from jail, she got on methadone and went to live with the customer who said he would take her in. When her trafficker continued to stalk her, she started a rumor that she was dead and moved back to Vermont.

‘No Other Choice’

What happened to Kathleen bears some similarities to sex trafficking cases in Vermont. But people I spoke with cautioned me that there is no “usual way” trafficking occurs, in Vermont or anywhere. “Every single case looks different,” said Steward of Woodside. While most known cases involve women, men are trafficked as well. Children are also victimized. Between 2014, when officials began tracking these data, and 2018, the Department for Children and Families received more than 125 reports that involved children being sex trafficked.

When I asked Kathleen if she had any happy memories from childhood, she said no: Her father and stepmother physically and emotionally abused her. She moved to Vermont to live with her mother and sister when she was a teenager, then back south, where she joined the Marines. During boot camp she discovered she was pregnant and had to leave. “I was happy to be a mother,” she said, but she had envisioned raising her son with his father, and they separated after he cheated on her before the baby was born. Through mutual agreement, her son went back and forth between Kathleen and her ex’s house. She’d had a drinking problem since she was a teenager, but she didn’t get drunk when her son was with her. However, because of her drinking, her ex was granted primary custody when her son was 4 years old; Kathleen was allowed to have him every weekend. Soon her ex stopped permitting weekend visits, and then he disappeared. After several days of being unable to reach him, she went to his house: “I’m banging on the door,” she said. “I looked through the windows and everything’s gone. My son was gone, [my ex] was gone, everything was gone.” After a couple of months of not being able to locate her son, she started using hard drugs, “mostly cocaine,” Kathleen said. Since her son was born, she had been living a stable life in the small county where she grew up. But after he disappeared, “I couldn’t stand looking at everything without my son there,” she said, and she moved to a small city 90 miles away. There her drug use worsened, though she didn’t use opioids until she injured her wrist in a car accident and a doctor prescribed her oxycodone. “He didn’t even give me an MRI,” she recalled, “just prescribed me this opiate.” He continued to prescribe it until she showed up for her appointment one day and found “yellow tape everywhere. The doctor had been shut down because he’d been illegally prescribing.” By then she was addicted, though she hadn’t realized that was why she got sick when she didn’t take the pills, that she was starting to withdraw. “I knew that I had a drinking problem,” she said, “but I didn’t think that the drugs were a problem.” She started buying oxys illegally, and when she lost her job and then her apartment, a dealer offered her pills and a place to stay. It was all free at first, “but I owed him,” she said. After a couple of weeks, when he

told her she needed to pay back her debt, she had no other choice but to do what he asked. “I didn’t have anywhere else to go,” she said. The dealer rented all of the apartments in one building, out of which he ran his businesses — drugs and prostitution. The 10 to 15 women who worked for him at a time stayed in one apartment and worked out of another that Kathleen called the “brothel.” Her trafficker told Kathleen that she was too good for prostitution, that she could leave anytime she wanted. “He was like, ‘Hey, if you ever want to stop, you just let me know and I won’t sell you anything else and you can get out of the life on the spot.’ “I legitimately believed that everything was my choice,” she said, though there were “red flags.” The women were regularly beaten for breaking the rules, of which there were many, including quotas they had to meet. They weren’t allowed to buy drugs from anyone but the trafficker. He took all of the money they made, except for a few dollars here and there to buy food. She still thought she could leave if she wanted to and that the other women were choosing to be there as well, though she never saw anyone try to go. “He made it seem like he cared about our lives,” Kathleen said. “Like, ‘Nobody will care for you more than I will.’” And at this point Kathleen didn’t care about

whether opioids played a role in those cases, but I was told “anecdotally” that drugs are more likely to be a factor with younger children, ages 6 to 9, who are being trafficked by their parents or other caregivers, possibly to support an opioid addiction. Seven Days has also reported on Vermont massage parlors that offer illegal sexual services and whose employees are likely victims of trafficking, but where opioids are usually not involved. If there is one thing sex trafficking cases have in common, it is that they are usually invisible. Even after I thought I understood what trafficking looks like, how insidious it can be, I didn’t see it when it was right in front of me. Suzanne (not her real name) was one of the first people I spoke to for this story. She told me she hadn’t been sex trafficked, and I agreed with her until weeks later, when I played a recording of our interview. As her soft, hoarse voice unspooled in my kitchen one night, I heard what I had missed when we first talked. I met Suzanne on a wintry Sunday afternoon after she’d gotten home from church. We had planned to get together several times, but Suzanne had canceled repeatedly. She messaged me as I was on my way to meet her that afternoon saying she was so nervous she felt sick but that I should come anyway. When I arrived, she was waiting for me on the front porch. Suzanne cries easily, but she smiles easily, too, and when she does she covers her mouth with her hand to hide the fact that she’s missing her front teeth, which were knocked out by an abusive boyfriend. If you walked by her on the street and didn’t know her, you probably wouldn’t notice her. But when you’re

sitting across from her listening to her talk, you don’t want to leave. When Suzanne was 13 years old, she sneaked out of her family’s Franklin County home and went to a party, where she got drunk and stoned for the first time. All night she resisted a 19-year-old guy who was coming on to her. “I kept saying, “‘No, no, no,’” she told me, but he had sex with her when she passed out. She got pregnant and had her first baby when she was 14 years old. “For two years I did it all on my own,” Suzanne said. “School, daycare, homework, school, daycare, homework, and then I tried working as well, and that didn’t work.” When she was 16 it “all came crashing down.” She had what she described as a nervous breakdown that started with an anxiety attack, during which she was sure she was dying. She dropped out of school and left her daughter in her mother’s care. “I just wanted to experience life,” she said, “but I did it wrong by partying and using.” For a year straight she smoked crack. “And then one day I had enough and I called my mom, and she came and got me.” Back at her mom’s house, she slept for days. For the next several years Suzanne stayed away from hard drugs. She got married, had a second and third child, left her husband. But she lost custody of her kids for reasons unrelated to drug use, and “that’s when things got bad,” she said. “I failed as a mom and that’s the only thing I wanted in life.” She soon started taking opioid-based painkillers, which “just made me feel so much better,” she said. “Drugs were like an antidepressant for me. They made me numb, and I didn’t have to think about anything.” She HOOKED

«P.33 worked long hours at a job she liked, and while opioids make some people sleepy, they helped Suzanne to stay awake. As her habit worsened, she went to rehab at Maple Leaf Farm and tried medication-assisted treatment when she got out, but the clinic required that she attend three group sessions a week, which didn’t work with her job. She went off her medication and “ended up relapsing, of course,” she said. When she was 25, she started dating a man named Harold and went to live with him in upstate New York. “I thought he was the love of my life,” she said, but he quickly became abusive. He knocked out her teeth, broke a bottle over her head. When Harold was sent to prison for a year on unrelated charges, Suzanne returned to her mother’s house in Vermont. She now had an expensive opioid habit but no job to pay for it, so when a farmworker she knew told her he had friends who “needed someone,” she started doing sex work at farms in Franklin and Addison counties. “I went from farm to farm,” she said, having sex with migrant workers; she made $700 a night “at least.” At times Suzanne spoke almost affectionately about the men who bought sex from her, whom she called her “friends” and referred to as “good people.” But “bad stuff” was happening as well: She cried as she described a customer holding a gun to her head. Another night a man she refused to have sex with attacked her and bit her clitoris so badly she had to go to the hospital, though she didn’t report what happened because she didn’t want the other men, some of whom were in the country illegally, to get in trouble. Other women she met at farms had pimps who drove them and took a cut of what they made. There were some she thought were probably being trafficked, girls who were underage or whose drivers were gang members, who arrived in cars with out-of-state plates. If Suzanne had a pimp, it wasn’t a human; it was a pill. She started doing the sex work to support her addiction, but “I needed a lot of drugs to do that. Selling your body, the whole time you’re pretty much killing yourself mentally, thinking about how worthless you are and how this is how your life is always going to be, this is all you’re good for.” When Harold got out of jail, Suzanne wanted to stop working, but he “kind of enforced it,” she said. 34

This is what I missed the first time I heard her story. This is what I didn’t hear: Suzanne wanted to stop working, but Harold “kind of enforced it because we needed the money. He said, ‘Well, you did it while I was in jail; you can do it now. It’s more important now.’” He was “not forceful like he was going to kill me over it, but enough to where I knew I had no other choice.” I think of Suzanne covering her smile with her hand to hide the missing teeth that Harold punched out of her mouth. Of her knocking on doors in the middle of the night in rural upstate New York trying to find help after he had beaten her up. Harold didn’t have to hit Suzanne when he insisted she prostitute herself. Everything about her life with him showed her that when he made that demand, she didn’t have a choice.

‘Make It Stop’

When my sister died last fall, I described in her obituary the week and a half Maddie was home with our family a couple months earlier. What I didn’t mention was that she had returned to Vermont from Rhode Island via a New Hampshire prison after

being sex trafficked again. This time the cigarette burns were on her face, and she’d been burned on her feet, as well, with a curling iron, after she tried to run away. When Maddie was trafficked in New York in 2013, there was very little awareness that sex trafficking existed in Vermont, let alone services to help people who had survived it. By the time she returned to Vermont last summer, the state’s Human Trafficking Task Force had trained more than 2,000 individuals, including police officers, hotel staff, teachers and health care workers, to recognize signs of the crime. There was a human trafficking caseworker based out of the South Burlington Police Department. Since her position was created a year and a half ago, that caseworker has worked with 70 victims of sex trafficking, including my sister and Kathleen. She helped Maddie enroll in medication-assisted treatment, set up her phone, find clothes. Together they developed a plan: As a condition of her release from the New Hampshire jail, Maddie was entering an outpatient program at Brattleboro Retreat. While she was there, the

caseworker was going to help her apply to a long-term residential program outside of Boston for women who have been trafficked. She was experiencing intense post-traumatic stress disorder, she was craving drugs, she was heartsick over not being able to see her son, but she seemed hopeful. There is now a second caseworker, in Rutland, dedicated solely to working with victims of human trafficking. Both of these positions were created by the Human Trafficking Task Force, which for the past nine years has operated essentially as an ad hoc group of volunteers. “We have no statutory authority, we have no budget, we are voluntary,” said Maguire. Last fall the group received a $1.2 million federal grant that will be used to hire three additional people to work full time on human trafficking in the state. “The focus has primarily been on education and awareness,” said Maguire, but with this grant the focus will shift to “victim services and also a much more coordinated effort by law enforcement.” In Burlington the task force is currently “working with the mayor on a three-step

VERMONT In the weeks I’ve been working on this story, I’ve wondered if any of the nameless women described in the court documents I’ve read were Maddie. If she worked for Folks or Galloway, if it was one of them she was running from when she called my mom at 4 a.m. one March night last year from a Dunkin’ Donuts using a stranger’s cellphone. It was 15 degrees outside, but she was barefoot and had a black eye. My mom picked her up and took her home, but she didn’t want help; as soon as her bruise faded she was gone. My mom later found texts Maddie had sent from her phone: I’m ready to party if you have any drugs. “I take every opportunity that I can get to have a conversation with people about [this],” Prouty said. “I tell them what I’ve seen, what I’ve heard, what I’ve known traffickers have done to their victims. I’m talking about the God-awful underbelly of the sex market that nobody wants to talk about. And I ask, ‘What if this was your son or daughter? What if it was your wife?” What if it was your sister? I’m telling you about Maddie so this story is not just a list of pseudonyms and anonymous voices. In newspaper articles and court documents, we change the names of the women this happened to; we don’t reveal their identities in order to protect them. But we didn’t protect them. For a long time we didn’t protect them because we didn’t know sex trafficking was happening. But now we do. Now you know it is happening. And now you know what it looks like. m

housing solution,” according to Averbach, which would comprise short-term, emergency beds for victims in crisis, an intermediate step of up to 30 days in which they can begin to stabilize, and long-term housing with wraparound services. Equally important is helping survivors recover emotionally from what they’ve experienced. After Kathleen was trafficked and moved back to Vermont, she started going by “Kathy.” “I didn’t want to be [Kathleen] anymore,” she said. Her addiction intensified as she used drugs to cope with what happened to her. “I would have full physical flashbacks,” she said, “and coming out of that I would need to use something just to make it stop.” She began using heroin, while before she had only taken pills. Six months ago, Kathleen’s daughter was born while she was incarcerated at Chittenden Regional Correctional Facility in South Burlington. A week later they were reunited at the Lund Family Center in Burlington, where they now live. For the first time, Kathleen has been addressing the trauma at the root of her addiction. She’s in therapy; she hopes to go to college in the fall; she’s made herself a shield that hangs on her wall to remind her of her coping skills. And she has started going by Kathleen again. “I realized there was nothing wrong with [Kathleen],” she said. “She just needs a lot of help.” “We need to understand this is a form of trauma,” said Corbally of the Burlington Police Department, “that trauma services need to be offered to these women. We need to recognize that this is a co-occurring issue,” meaning that survivors of sex trafficking often have substance-use and mental-health issues that need to be treated in order to fully recover. “We’re all after the same goal, which is to make sure women are safe and getting services, but we’re doing it within the confines of a system that is not fully caught up to us,” said Corbally. “It’s really significant that the system catch up, because it’s happening, it’s out there, it’s going on every single day.” Between the two times my sister was aware she was trafficked, she did sex work. Her boyfriend, who was physically abusive, relied on her to do that work to support their addictions. He also publicly shamed her for it on his Facebook page, posting that the mother of his son was a prostitute. Traffickers don’t just use violence or drugs to coerce their victims into having commercial sex; they manipulate their relationship with them. “The biggest form of coercion I have seen,” said Matt Prouty, “is love.”

Fasten Nation Verd Mont Button Club celebrates 40 years B Y D A N BOL L ES

he first rule of Button Club is: You do not talk about Button Club. The second rule of Button Club is: Actually, scratch that. Unlike the members of Fight Club, the 30 or so members of Vermont’s Verd Mont Button Club delight in talking about their group and hobby. And, when it comes to clothing buttons, you’d be amazed by how much there is to discuss. That’s how Ed and Amy Larson feel, anyway. The Vermont couple are longtime leading members of the VMBC; she’s the club president, he the treasurer. The button club celebrates its 40th anniversary this Saturday, April 13, with an exhibition at Shelburne United Methodist Church. That same day has been declared Verd Mont Button Club Day statewide by proclamation of Gov. Phil Scott. “I had to make sure there wasn’t any big NASCAR thing happening that day,” joked Ed, 71, referring to the governor’s side gig as a racecar driver. Ed, who last year ran as a Republican candidate for state senate, approached Scott’s office about the designation earlier this year. That may indicate how seriously he, his wife and their button 36

club cohorts take their hobby. (Spoiler: very seriously.) “The thing about button collecting is that you’re a chronologist of history,” declared Ed. He’s a tall man who carries himself with the imposing, formal authority of a cop, which he was for 29 years. He speaks plainly and directly, probably as a result of his other career in news radio. Serious as they may be, the Larsons and their fellow club members aren’t without a sense of humor about their admittedly niche pursuit. “People do tend to look at you like you’re crazy when you tell them you’re in a button club,” Amy, 58, conceded with a chuckle. The Larsons have been collecting clothing buttons for decades; Ed specializes in relics from military and transportation uniforms, while Amy has a thing for ornate Victorian-era specimens. Each collection numbers in the thousands. When Seven Days visited the Larsons’ cozy, cute-as-a-you-know-what Rutland home, both spouses marveled at the craftsmanship of their most prized items.

Amy waxed rhapsodic over an elegant collection of jeweled buttons from the Gay Nineties that she’d mounted to sheets of cardboard. Ed enthused about the fine artistry of copper and silver buttons from the 1700s — aka “the Golden Age of Buttons.” For the Larsons and many other enthusiasts, however, button collecting is about

TALKING ABOUT BUTTONS. L IS A W E R NH O F F

more than aesthetics. It’s about preserving the past, one tiny round piece at a time. “It’s a documentation of history,” said Amy. “Buttons document the trends and history of the time.” “When you look at these buttons, somebody wore them,” noted Ed. “All of these show the history of clothing, of design, manufacturing. When you save them,

CULTURE

you’re saving a piece of local or national history, or of family history.” Amy works as an accounting assistant for Charles Coughlin, a Rutland businessman who owns several local McDonald’s franchises. She got into button collecting after inheriting a sizeable collection from her grandmother, whose black-and-white childhood portrait she keeps in her living room. Inside the frame, she’s affixed a string of small buttons that her grandmother wore. “Collecting buttons is a way to hang on to your family history that most people probably just throw away or keep in a jar,” said Amy, whose midwestern twang betrays her Michigan roots. Verd Mont Button Club secretary Lisa Wernhoff agreed. Like Amy, the 64-yearold discovered button collecting through her grandmother’s collection, which also included many of her great-grandmother’s buttons. “They were very fancy,” said Wernhoff of those specimens. “I’ve always loved anything that had to do with sewing,” added the former University of Vermont home economics major. In addition to teaching home ec, Wernhoff worked as an archivist for Ben & Jerry’s for 30 years. Nearing retirement, she decided she needed to do something with her family’s buttons. “I realized I had to figure out what I had so that I could pass it on to the next generation,” she said. She joined the button club five years ago and “just got sucked in.” Like the Larsons, Wernhoff developed an interest in the history of buttons, particularly their Vermont history. At the club’s meetings, members typically present on various research projects. Wernhoff, who is also a member of the 251 Club of Vermont and the Vermont Old Cemetery Association, said her first presentation focused on a button factory in Gaysville and on Middlebury-based Danforth Pewter. “I took it from the 1870s to the present,” Wernhoff said of local button history. “I found it fascinating.” Her fellow club members did, too. “She’s really the authority when it comes to Vermont button history,” said Ed admiringly. Verd Mont Button Club meets monthly, usually at various members’ homes, from May to November, taking the winter off because of travel concerns. In addition to presentations, meetings include discussions on, well, hot-button topics, such as upcoming national and regional expos and competitions; VMBC is a member of both the National Button Society and the Northeast Regional Button Association. Members might help evaluate interesting

While VMBC is composed mostly of older folks, Wernhoff described the membership as diverse, stressing their mix of genders, backgrounds and perspectives.

As they might your shirt or jacket, buttons keep the group together, she said. “We’ve got everything from rabid Republicans to extreme liberals,” explained Wernhoff, who lives with her wife in East Montpelier. “This group has brought them all together to share something we all love. We forget politics and religion when we’re talking about buttons.” Lately, club discussions have focused on the upcoming biannual expo in Shelburne, which will offer opportunities to meet collectors and view exhibitions. During Seven Days’ visit with the Larsons, their living and dining rooms overflowed with displays destined for the expo, including Amy’s Victorian buttons and Ed’s military and transportation assemblages. Then there was Ed’s blue-ribbonwinning “Ugly Button” display — his lone concession to the world of competitive buttoning. The framed display featured more than a dozen misshapen, busted and gaudily decorated buttons that only a grandmother could love. Each had a punny tagline: “Just Button Ugly,” “Bolt Ugly,” “Designer Disaster” and “Deserves a Shanking” — the last

referring to a type of button called a shank. Also among the displays were tributes to recently deceased club members Barbara Wells and Warren Tice, the latter of whom the Larsons described as the authority on military buttons in the U.S. “I’ve memorized all of his books,” said Ed with palpable reverence. At the expo, Ed will present on a method he’s developed for cleaning and restoring buttons that involves a solution of baking soda and Coca-Cola. While it’s a unique and effective means of restoring corroded clasps, Ed’s method has proved controversial in button circles. “The National Button Society does not approve,” said Amy. “They have a fit about that,” admitted Ed. “But you know what? It works.” Besides divulging scandalous buttoncleaning practices, members will help evaluate and identify buttons for expo attendees who want to know what kind of historical value those stray buttons kicking around in mason jars or junk drawers might have. The club will not, however, appraise buttons. “I won’t tell you how much something is worth,” said Ed. “You can go online for that.” The Larsons are similarly cagey when it comes to the value of their own buttons. Ed said certain rare buttons can fetch upward of $10,000 to $15,000, adding that he doesn’t own any that valuable. He did reveal that he’s helped more than one curious collector identify buttons valued in the hundreds to thousands of dollars. Regardless of market value, in the Larsons’ minds, their buttons are priceless. Ed, whose military button collection includes several worn by Vermont soldiers from as far back as the Revolutionary War, told a story to illustrate that point. Some years ago, when he was still a police officer, he visited a summer camp at the Vermont Police Academy in Pittsford run by the Vermont Army National Guard. There he met a guardsman who was about to deploy to Iraq. Ed happened to have brought along a uniform button worn by a Vermont cavalryman during the Civil War, which he gave to the guardsman. “I told him to take it with him and put it on his tunic or his jacket,” recalled Ed. “But I told him it came with a caveat: If he took it, it meant he had to come back.” m

The new owners of the Ripton Country Store find their rural grocer groove

THE BOTTOM LINE IS:

PHOTOS: CALEB KENNA

ack in Virginia, Eva Hoffmann was a technology integration specialist who worked with state-of-the-art computers in public schools. Now she spends her days operating a gilded, clamorous, World War I-era cash register behind a wooden counter at the Ripton Country Store. The technology downgrade is one of many adjustments that Hoffmann and her husband, Gary Wisell, have made in the five months they’ve been running the charming combination general store, gas station and post office in Ripton village. Hoffmann and Wisell are the first new owners of the local institution, located on Route 125 between East Middlebury and Hancock, in more than four decades. It’s a daunting prospect in a community as tightly knit as Ripton. “I think everybody was a little scared of who we were going to be and how things were going to work out,” Hoffmann said. “But they like us. We’re OK.” For passersby, the Ripton Country Store is a Vermonty treasure chest of nostalgia. There’s an antique but functioning gas pump out front, a sizeable selection of penny candy, a wall of ornate post office boxes and, in the back by the wood-burning stove and rocking chair, piles of old ledgers and newspapers that bring to life the store’s 140-year history. But for Ripton’s 600 residents, who live miles from the nearest supermarket, the store is also a lifeline. Most locals pass through it at least once a day to pick up their mail, grab a half-gallon of milk and chat with the new storekeepers. Though this is their first foray into retail, Hoffmann and Wisell schmooze with customers as if they’d been doing it forever. Hoffmann, 62, is kind and warm; 58-year-old Wisell, laugh-out-loud funny. Both appear to be at ease with the near-constant stream of customers. Along with 75 others, the Virginia couple responded to an article last spring in the New York Times that pitched this gig as one of the toughest, and most rewarding, jobs in Vermont. “Dick and Sue Collitt are retiring, and we need someone to buy them out and take their place,” the writer Bill McKibben, a Ripton resident, wrote in a March 30 op-ed appeal that he likened to a personal ad. “Because if you don’t have a store, you can’t really have a town.”

Gary Wisell and Eva Hoffmann

Although Ripton is home to more writers and professors than your typical rural Vermont burg, it’s no South Burlington. Many general stores in Vermont, including those in larger communities, are struggling to keep the lights on. The one in Barnet recently shut down. Hoffmann and Wisell knew of this particular trading post long before McKibben wrote about it. Wisell was born and raised in Middlebury until 1983, when he joined the Navy. Away from home, he stayed connected to Middlebury through his subscription to the Addison County

Independent. He said he’d routinely peruse the court log in search of names he still recognized. Wisell’s uncle, Tommy Wisell, lived in Ripton and frequented the store nearly every day in the 30 years he lived halfway up the Middlebury Gap. A picture of the self-employed lumberjack holding mounted deer antlers is prominently displayed on the store counter. “He was my cool uncle,” Wisell said. “He used to come down to the house when we were kids, and he’d sit and watch cartoons with us on Saturday mornings

and drink coffee. My dad would come in and say, ‘Jesus Christ, Tommy, haven’t you got anything better to do?’ And he’d say, ‘Nope.’” Hoffmann is not from the area — her Southern twang is a dead giveaway — but has visited Vermont with Wisell almost every year since the couple met in 1992. They settled in seaside Norfolk, Va., where Gary worked as a landscaper and Eva was a longtime educator. They filled their weekends with downtown outings, good friends and live music. Their rescue dog is named for Virginia’s four-day FloydFest in the Blue Ridge Mountains. “I couldn’t have done this even 10 years ago,” said Hoffmann. “I needed to travel. I needed to see my music.” But the couple also longed for the four seasons in slower-paced New England. They began to envision the life they could have in Vermont as Hoffmann grew increasingly weary of the stress and politics of her job. She had a similar reaction to the 24-7 news about President Donald Trump: It made her want to unplug. And the move would bring them closer to Wisell’s mom, who still lives in Middlebury. The stars aligned when an old friend of Wisell’s shared the McKibben op-ed on Facebook, and the couple saw that the store was for sale. “We just looked at each other and went, you know, ‘Why not?’” Hoffmann recalled. By the time they called, though, the Collitts had found a buyer. When that deal fell through in early July, the property went back on the market. Wisell saw it on the website BizBuySell and immediately called the Collitts. He offered them the original asking price of $225,000 for the building and business, and the older couple accepted. So Hoffmann and Wisell had a massive yard sale, packed up what was left from their three-story Virginia home and moved north in early October, into the two-bedroom apartment above the store. Along with Floyd, the store’s new canine clerk, they’ve spent the cold half of a year adjusting to an entirely new life and the responsibilities that come with it: working long days, feeding a wood stove, shoveling snow and salting the parking lot around the store. “We’re still in an adaptation phase,” Wisell said. “It’s much harder up here.

forgotten how much work it is to live in Vermont in the wintertime. It’s kind of a startling rediscovery.” Hoffmann and Wisell’s neighbors have helped lighten the load. When the power went out in the store, Riptonians came with flashlights and headlamps to help them through it. When someone drove a car into the building, sending wine bottles crashing to the floor, people came in and bought the broken bottles anyway. When it snows, a local guy plows the driveway for free an hour before the store opens at 7 a.m. (8 a.m. on weekends). Hoffmann said she’s been touched by the kindness. “The people are amazing. I really don’t wanna cry, but they’re just so wonderful,” she said, tearing up. “People do anything for you here.” The store currently sells mainly canned and packaged goods, plus some deli items, including a wheel of cheese that Hoffmann and Wisell cut and package themselves. Lots of newspapers, too, including the New York Times. “We’ve had a lot of people tell us that they’re just really glad we’re here, and they’re really glad we’re going to keep the store going, because they need it,” Wisell said. Among the grateful customers is carpenter Brad Braun, who moved to Ripton 22 years ago. He recalls walking into the country store back then and saying to himself: This is how I wanna live. He’s been nestled in the Green Mountain National Forest ever since. “I’m so thrilled it’s not turning into a Mac’s or something like that,” he said, referring to a small Vermont grocery chain with stores in Stowe and Woodstock, among other towns. “It was a little hard losing Dick and Sue. They’re wonderful people. But these people have been terrific. I can’t tell you how happy I’ve been.” Ripton resident Barry King agreed. “We miss the former storekeepers, but we’re delighted to have Gary and Eva there,” she said. “They have lots of ideas and energy, so it’s very fun to have somebody new.” Hoffmann and Wisell have made some tweaks already: They’ve expanded the adult beverage section — you can get organic wine now, and Citizen Cider — and are serving hot dogs and breakfast sandwiches. “Baby steps,” Hoffmann noted, as they begin to feel more comfortable making the store their own. Future plans include a larger selection of fresh baked goods, a local produce section, pizza by the slice, and Vermont products such as postcards and calendars. The couple just ordered a selection of Bread Loaf-branded merchandise for the students who drive by Ripton on their

way to Middlebury College’s summer school of English. Just one item has been discontinued: hunting magazines. No one was buying them, according to Hoffmann, but a customer did complain. “You take it with a grain of salt, you move on,” she said. “The bottom line is: We’re here for this community,” Hoffmann added. “I’ve always wanted to be a part of something that was more than making money. I see it as more of a calling or a way of life. Because you can’t come down here and be like, ‘I’m in a bad mood, so leave me alone.’ It’s not like that.” As long as she and Wisell are collecting pensions — his from the Navy, hers from the Virginia public schools — the enterprise is sustainable. Neither of them is taking a salary from the store, which does between $500 and $1,000 in sales daily. Their shared goal is for the retail operation to pay for itself. Hoffmann has loved getting to know her customers and is surprised by how quickly she’s learning everyone’s names. She and Wisell have happily swapped their digital devices for faceto-face communication. That’s not to say they aren’t using technology; they’ve installed Wi-Fi in the store, which has improved connectivity enough to make it a relative hot spot

in mountainous Ripton. Some travelers have found the place — and the sole gas pump within miles — while searching for a GPS signal. The Collitts lived and worked without the internet, but their successors said they thought it would be too difficult in this day and age to do business without it. Next to the antique cash register is the store’s very first laptop. “I’m goin’, ‘OK, Google.’ And this guy goes, ‘There’s a phone book right over there!’” Hoffmann said of a customer interaction. “But nobody’s run us out of town.” The connection helps during the few off hours they have, too. Hoffmann still Skypes with her book club in Virginia. “We have Netflix. We have Hulu. We’ve got music and we’ve got movies. Our phones work sometimes, most of the time. I’m fine with it. And the fact that I can video chat with my buddies, that is cool,” she said. As first-time storeowners, the two are still figuring out which chores they enjoy. Hoffmann has embraced some of the morning tasks, such as turning on the ATM and the pump light before anyone comes in. In these moments of solitude, before the rest of the world awakens, she said she feels tapped into the tranquility and beauty of her new home. She also loves getting the grocery orders every week.

“When it all comes on Tuesday, I get a kick out of unpacking everything and pricing it and putting it all where it’s supposed to be,” she said. “I know this sounds silly, but I enjoy that part.” They’re just starting to experiment with solo shifts, during which the other partner can get away, but leisure time remains elusive. Hoffmann finally made it up the road to cross-country ski at Rikert Nordic Center. Wisell looks forward to getting to Middlebury more to enjoy being home again. He expects that will happen when the job becomes more routine. In the meantime, Hoffmann and Wisell have some well-qualified babysitters to call on when they need a break. Although retired, the Collitts live right behind the store. “We still get a little taste of it once in a while when they need some help,” said Dick Collitt. He and his wife have substituted for Hoffmann and Wisell a handful of times since they took over. “It felt good for us being back there and seeing all our old friends and customers. We actually enjoy going back and working for them.”

Wonder Women

VPR’s Jane Lindholm and Melody Bodette tap into kids’ curiosity with “But Why” B Y D A N BOL L ES

id you know that elephants have 42,000 muscles in their trunks?” Jane Lindholm asked me recently. I had to confess I did not. Humans, the Vermont Public Radio personality went on to explain, have about 650 to 800 muscles in their entire bodies, depending on how you categorize the muscle groups. Just four muscle groups interact with our noses. She paused, then reiterated with genuine, almost childlike wonder: “Elephants have 42,000 muscles in their trunks!” Recently, childlike wonder has become Lindholm’s stock-in-trade. For almost three years, she’s hosted VPR’s “But Why: A Podcast for Curious Kids,” a program in which she, producer Melody Bodette and experts answer questions posed by inquisitive children from around the world. As a result, she has become a fount of knowledge both obscure and interesting — and not just about the nasal musculature of pachyderms. The elephant episode, which aired on February 1, also answered why giraffes have purple tongues; most episodes tackle several questions related to the broader topic. Other recent episodes have addressed the floating garbage patch in the Pacific Ocean, why we sometimes see the moon during the day, what it’s like to be an adult and, in a lively episode that surely elicited giggles from kids of all ages, why we poop and fart. “My Google search history is weird,” joked Bodette, who, along with Lindholm, spoke to us in February at VPR’s studio in Colchester. Since it debuted on April 1, 2016, “But Why” has become an ascendant program for VPR, with 3.5 million total downloads. In 2018, subscribership on platforms such as iTunes and Spotify grew 70 percent; downloads went up by 82 percent. Lindholm and Bodette have received questions from kids in all 50 states and from at least 48 other countries. “There was no expectation that it would be particularly popular or successful,” said Lindholm of the podcast. And yet it’s clearly a hit. Which prompts a question: But why? The answer likely starts with Lindholm, who is also the Harvard-educated host of VPR’s popular midday news program, “Vermont Edition.” On air and off, she 42

carries herself with a bright, pleasant and studious demeanor. Those who only know Lindholm by her calm, made-for-publicradio voice may be surprised to learn she currently sports a shock of metallic purple hair. “My midlife crisis,” she joked. Lindholm, who lives in Monkton with her husband and their two small children, traces the origins of “But Why” to a friend who was listening to VPR in the car one day with her kids. Following a report on U.S. government employees carousing with Colombian prostitutes, a question issued from the back seat: “Mommy, what’s a hooker?” “She said, ‘Oh, jeez. I guess I can’t listen to public radio with my kids in the car anymore,’” recalled Lindholm, who at the time had been brainstorming how to enter the booming podcast market.

“I think I’m the only person in America who realized that podcasts were exploding,” quipped Lindholm. Jokes aside, her friend’s conundrum inspired an idea: Solicit questions from curious children and, with the help of Bodette — who is also a mother of two — research the answers. “I thought, Why don’t we produce something that’s public radio for kids, that’s designed for them?” In a given week, “Vermont Edition” covers topics from the push to commercialize marijuana in Vermont to the history of bird watching in the state — y’know, grown-up stuff. To be conversant on such a broad range of topics from day to day requires considerable preparation and, just as importantly, insatiable curiosity. The same is true for making “But Why.”

That meticulous approach is what distinguishes her podcast, which airs every two weeks, from the rising tide of content flooding children’s entertainment channels. Just like other public radio programs, such as “Invisibilia” and “Planet Money,” “But Why” is entertaining and informative. It’s undoubtedly geared toward children, but it never panders — the occasional poop joke aside. To the undying gratitude of Peppa Pig-addled parents, it is engaging for grown-ups, too. “The style is different from other shows we listen to,” said early childhood educator Tara Gravelin. The Burlington mother of two puts on the podcast for her 6- and 4-year-old sons during quiet time. “It’s humorous and playful,” she continued, adding that she finds Lindholm’s voice “captivating.”

“There are a lot of kids’ podcasts out there and some of them, for me as an adult who has small kids, I find them very hard to listen to,” Bodette explained. “So we definitely make ours with an eye toward it being interesting for parents as well.” “It’s a fine line for us because we’re not making it for the parents, so it’s not tongue-in-cheek,” said Lindholm. “We want it to be something they enjoy listening to, too, but we’re not making it with the irony that an adult sense of humor would have.” Still, parents will likely learn a thing or two by listening. As an example, Lindholm cited the podcast’s very first episode, which featured Vermont naturalist Mary Holland explaining how and why bears hibernate in the winter. “That’s still one of the favorite episodes for adults,” said Lindholm, “because you learned things that you didn’t really feel like you had permission to ask about: How do bears hibernate? How do they not go to the bathroom for that long? It’s a question that you probably wonder but you feel silly asking.” “I learn a lot making the podcasts, too,” Bodette added. “Because a lot of it is stuff that adults probably should know but don’t want to ask, because adults assume they should know everything,” she explained. “Kids assume they don’t know everything, but they want to know everything.” Lindholm and Bodette don’t shy away from complicated questions on topics like death and how babies are made, or topical issues such as school violence and hurricanes, all of which they’ve addressed on past episodes. “For our audience to trust us, we have to answer difficult questions, too,” said Bodette. “We could do every episode about elephants and giraffes and have a great podcast.” But, she noted, kids ask uncomfortable questions. “I think about the way I would want to answer those questions for my own kids, and what would I do if I had all the time in the world to research them?” “I want to be able to give kids the answers that they deserve,” added Lindholm. “They trust us, and we want to live up to that trust. And we also want to treat their questions with the honesty that they deserve. Because part of the problem in adulthood is that we get squeamish about things that kids aren’t. They just want to know the answers, and they want to know the truth.” For both the babies and death episodes, Lindholm and Bodette made a point to cover a range of experiences. For death, specifically, they tried to make the show

comfortable even for listeners who recently experienced a loss. As Lindholm does for episodes that tackle difficult topics, she opened the podcast by issuing an advisory for adults to preview the show before allowing kids to listen — or, alternatively, to listen with them. Then — as she and Jana DeCristofaro, an expert from the Dougy Center: the National Center for Grieving Children & Families in Portland Ore., navigated questions about what it feels like when you’re dead, what happens when we die and why we die in the first place — the show took quiet breaks meant for contemplation or for kids to ask their own questions. “That was in the back of our mind: If there’s a kid listening who’s just lost someone, are they going to feel safe listening?” Lindholm explained. As for how babies are made… “Babies are made in a lot of different ways,” said Bodette. “There’s adoption, gestational surrogates, reproductive technology, families with two moms, two dads, single parents.”

I WANT TO BE ABLE TO GIVE KIDS

She reached out to Lindholm through social media and Ethan was subsequently featured on a special follow-up episode of “But Why” called “Heterotaxy and Hearts” on April 20, 2018. “Any time that we’re able to get the word out about heterotaxy, that’s another family that we’re able to reach,” said Chandra, who runs a support group called Heterotaxy Connection. “And that episode reached even further than I think even Jane expected.” “It makes me emotional sometimes to think about it, because you do want kids to feel represented and families to feel like their experience is valuable and counts,” said Lindholm. “And I think we can be fun and offer kids science facts and tidbits. But when we’re able to actually give families a feeling of inclusion, and give other families an idea of the variety of experiences out there, that feels really important to me.” Chandra said she and her two kids became fans of “But Why” because the podcast takes them seriously. “It doesn’t talk down to them at all,” she explained. “It’s like, ‘You’re a curious kid, and I’m going to find an expert grown-up who is going to explain this to you not in a condescending way or a way that assumes you won’t get it.’ And that really empowers kids to ask questions.” One recent question came from 6-year-old Simon of Chicago: Why is tape sticky? His mom Anne Fisher, an accountant for, of all things, a tape manufacturer, recorded her son asking the question on her phone and submitted it to “But Why.” She never told Simon, a superfan of the show, that Lindholm would answer his question. Fisher and her wife videotaped their son’s surprise when the episode aired on April 27, 2018. “Now he tells his friends that he was on the radio with his friend Jane,” said Fisher, a self-professed “public radio nerd.” Fisher explained that Simon is drawn to questions about science and bugs and typically listens to each episode many times. “He really likes them and absorbs new things every time,” she said. That Simon’s repeated listening doesn’t drive her crazy is a testament to Lindholm, she added. “She does a fantastic job of explaining things in a way that kids can understand but also that doesn’t make me want to jump out the car window,” said Fisher. “And I usually learn new things, too.” While “But Why” started in Vermont, Bodette and Lindholm knew it would eventually have to attract listeners beyond the state to work long-term. “There aren’t enough kids around, even if every kid in Vermont listened, to sustain

THE ANSWERS THAT THEY DESERVE. JANE L IND H O L M

“We continually hear feedback from families who tell us that this was the first thing about how babies are made that included their families,” said Lindholm. “That episode particularly was designed to be a show that really envelops everybody.” At the top of the show, Lindholm assured nervous parents that the episode was created with “our youngest listeners in mind.” Indeed, mentions of sperm, eggs and other reproductive parts were handled directly, but tactfully. Gravelin appreciates that Bodette and Lindholm tackle tough questions. “It’s real and it’s raw, but it’s done in a way that’s educational,” she said. “It has to be age-appropriate; we’re not trying to scare kids,” said Lindholm. “But if a child is asking, ‘What happens when you die?’ they deserve an answer that’s honest.” Providing those answers often means finding people who are willing to reveal intimate details about their lives. Fouryear-old Ethan lives in Utah and suffers from a rare heart defect called heterotaxy. After listening to a “But Why” episode about how the heart works, he and his sister urged their mother, Ali Chandra, to contact Lindholm to share Ethan’s story.

the podcast forever,” Lindholm explained. “So it was going to have to be something that was relevant outside Vermont. “We want to be a podcast that has a sense of place in Vermont, and then sends that sensibility out into the world,” she continued. Within a year of launching, Lindholm and Bodette were fielding questions from kids all over the globe. They use Vermont experts whenever possible, but certain questions require broadening their scope, which, they say, bolsters the program’s wider philosophy of inclusion. “We make a point to present kids with a really interesting cross-section of adults in the world, or other kids from around the world, so they really get this sense of diversity in the world,” said Lindholm. As a recent example, she pointed to Lisa Desamour, a female firefighter from Philadelphia, who helped answer a dozen fire- and firefighting-related questions on the August 31, 2018 episode “Why is Fire Orange?” (It has to do with the presence of sodium in wood, BTW.) “It was nice to have a woman’s voice representing firefighters because it gave kids a sense that there are a lot of different ways to be a firefighter in the world,” said Lindholm. To submit to the show, listeners record audio of their children asking questions — typically with a smartphone — and send the clips in via email. With more than 4,000 questions from listeners around the globe since the program started, and more coming in all the time, Lindholm and Bodette are in no danger of running out of material. Still, there are certain questions they might prefer parents tackle themselves. “We never mentioned the word ‘sex,’” Lindholm confessed about the babies episode. The omission drew a pointed critique from one listener. “Somebody was like, ‘How can you have a show about how babies are made without ever mentioning sex?’” Lindholm recalled. “And I was like, ‘Well, sex isn’t required in all cases.’” Then she added with a chuckle, “And if that’s your family’s experience, you can tell your child about that.” Contact: dan@sevendaysvt.com

Texas in Essex At Mark BBQ, smokers mark the spot BY SALLY POLLAK

SEVEN DAYS APRIL 10-17, 2019

OLIVER PARINI

here are several reasons to go to Mark BBQ, a Texas-style barbecue restaurant in Essex Junction. The most obvious is meat. The ribs are thick and juicy, the brisket edged in fat. The sauce, if you want it, comes on the side. This is meat-forward meat. Another draw, no pun intended, is the chalkboard wall at the back of the restaurant. BYOI (bring your own idea), help yourself to a piece of chalk, take your place at the wall, and draw or doodle the evening away. For ball players, fidgety diners and the younger set, Mark BBQ’s dining room offers a cornhole toss that invites throwing, oohing and aahing, and spectating. Between bites of pulled pork and baked beans, you and your buddies can fling a beanbag at a target. Finally, if you’re a country music fan or an admirer of music art, you’ll eat up the wall décor. The framed concert posters announce decades-past shows from the likes of Willie Nelson, as well as Doug Sahm and the Last Real Texas Blues Band. One poster, advertising Nelson’s third annual Fourth of July picnic in 1975, shows a picnic basket propped on the back of an armadillo. The basket holds an acoustic guitar, an electric bass, and the U.S. and Texas flags. Admission was $5, and the lineup included Kris Kristofferson, Rita Coolidge, the Charlie Daniels Band and Delbert McClinton. Oh, to have gnawed on a pork bone, slugged beer in the Texas sunshine and listened to McClinton sing “Two More Bottles of Wine” at that long-ago picnic. But I settled for an indoor picnic at Mark BBQ, which opened last fall at 34 Park Street. If you’re not sure where the restaurant is, follow your nose: Three smokers are smokin’ out in front, giving a down-home, backyard whiff to the suburban thoroughfare. “The smells are free,” chef-owner Darrell Langworthy said. “They bring you in the door.”

The spacious dining room is furnished with nine big picnic tables, each equipped with a barbecue joint’s greatest need: a roll of paper towels. But bring your own six-pack: Mark BBQ is BYOB. (There’s a liquor store across the street in case you arrive empty-handed.) My friend and I shared the chef ’s sampler platter, a $28 tray that presents a smorgasbord of smoked meats: ribs, brisket, pulled pork and sausage. The platter comes with two sides, and we threw in a third for a spread that included baked beans (flavored with meat scraps), tangy coleslaw (red and green cabbage, shredded carrots), and collard greens. The meat is dry-rubbed and smoked, sauce-free, in Langworthy’s smokers. He rubs the brisket and pork shoulder with a simple spice blend, then smokes it over hickory and pecan wood for 12 to 14 hours at 245 degrees. It’s a Texas method that Langworthy sums up with two words, repeated: smoke and time, smoke and time. Langworthy, 39, of Essex Junction, fell in love with barbecue when he was stationed in Texas for military training. His late father-in-law, Mark Ivey, for whom the restaurant is named, introduced Langworthy to Texas barbecue and inspired his love of cooking and eating it. Langworthy has been making barbecue for about a dozen years, his passion growing with his experience. One meal that stands out in his memory took place nine years ago in Saudi Arabia, where Langworthy was stationed with the Vermont Army National Guard. About 125 servicemen and -women pooled their pork ration cards to make a pulled-pork-and-ribs barbecue. “Texas barbecue is so simple and straightforward compared to other barbecue that’s slathered in sauce,” Langworthy said. “You have to appreciate it and love it for its simplicity and elegance.

St. Johnsbury’s KINGDOM TAPROOM will mark five years in business later this month. To celebrate, its 16 owner-partners have opened a new restaurant: Located directly upstairs from Kingdom Taproom at 397 Railroad Street, KINGDOM TABLE — called “Table” for short — offers a polished, full-service complement to the basement-level craft-beer speakeasy. By day, light streams into the brick-walled bar-restaurant through a bank of picture windows, which previously displayed fixtures in a kitchenand-bath retail showroom. “For us, having a bar in a basement, it’s a really nice addition to be able to be streetside,” said co-owner TARA HOLT. Chef LISA FOSTER’s menu offers a mishmash of global street foods: steamed buns with Thai chile jam and ponzu dipping sauce, vegetable ramen, poutine and lobster cakes. Grass-fed beef burgers can come with additions such as maple-habanero bacon and JASPER HILL FARM Bayley Hazen Blue cheese, and the roast chicken has a citrus-IPA glaze.

“The food is all super approachable,” Holt said. “You’re not going to read the menu and wonder what on Earth you’re looking at. It’s absolutely clear, and the flavors are incredible.” Many of the ingredients hail from nearby farms, and the local ethos extends to the liquid offerings. Most of bar manager LIBBIE LUMBRA’s craft cocktails begin with Vermont-made spirits; some will be distilled right around the corner at soon-to-open ST. JOHNSBURY DISTILLERY. The wine list is small but thoughtfully curated, and the draft brews come from Vermont and New Hampshire. “Compared to the taproom, it’s a much

smaller draft list,” Holt acknowledged. “There’s not tons of variety, but the selections were made with intention.” Beer nerds aren’t likely to gripe about the bottle list, which includes Belgian styles from Brasserie Cantillon, Gueuzerie Tilquin and Brouwerij 3 Fonteinen, along with other hard-to-find Old World ferments and lots of local cans. Eventually, the Table will be open for lunch and dinner, Wednesday through Monday, Holt said. For now, dinner is served Wednesday through Saturday as the restaurant finds its footing.

should taste like beef. Pork should taste like pork. Sauce should complement the meat; it shouldn’t cover it up.” His decision to start his own barbecue business was a sudden one, spurred by a friend. When David Burbo decided to close Smokin’ Butts, the barbecue place he co-owned in St. Albans, he called Langworthy and asked if he wanted to buy his smokers and other equipment. At the time, Langworthy was sous chef in food services at GlobalFoundries. “I took about a week to think about it, and then I made the leap,” Langworthy said. “When something like that SEVEN DAYS APRIL 10-17, 2019

comes your way, I look at it as divine intervention.” He launched Mark BBQ as a mobile business at Essex Junction’s Five Corners in May 2018. Demand for his food grew fast, Langworthy said, and within six months he moved into the building on Park Street. That public appetite reached a peak this St. Patrick’s Day, according to Langworthy, when diners at Mark BBQ consumed 1,000 pounds of meat, including 200 pounds of coffee-rubbed and smoked corned beef brisket. “We had a huge turnout,” Langworthy said. “We just pushed it, and people came out from everywhere. Our customer base is loyal and growing fast.” Langworthy plans to build a new catering and prep kitchen behind the chalkboard wall. He is increasing the hours of operation from three to five days per week; by mid-May, Mark BBQ will be open Tuesday through Saturday. The night my friend and I ate there, a local family of five was dining at a nearby table. The three boys — ages 11, 9 and 5 — played cornhole on and off during the meal, mostly on. The oldest, a lanky lefty named Sam, rated the food above the games. His younger brothers voted for the cornhole. Their father, Steve Bent, is a big fan of Mark BBQ and has a special fondness for the St. Louis-style ribs. Their mother, Laura Bent, said her family likes to eat where there’s something for the kids to do. The casual style of Mark BBQ suits them well. “It’s a little bit of summer fun,” she said, as her boys tossed beanbags. “It’s like we’re taking a little trip to Texas.” m Contact: sally@sevendaysvt.com

To that end, the school limits technology use. However, sixth-grade teacher Rebekah Hopkinson said, “Our job as teachers is to meet the [needs of ] children and families of today,” according to a press release.

SEVEN DAYS APRIL 10-17, 2019

TRACK TWO S

even Days receives more book submissions than our staff writers can read and fully review. So, every month or so, we publish Page 32, a collection of short takes on books by Vermont-based authors that include a quote from, well, page 32. Though that page number is admittedly arbitrary, the micro-review gives readers an idea of what to expect from the work as a whole. The 7D music desk has a similar problem: We receive an overabundance of album submissions. In fact, our logjam currently stretches back to last year. So, why not apply the same quick-hit principle to music as we do books? Instead of page 32, though, the focus of the following snapshots is each album’s second track. There’s a method to the seeming madness. If a record’s first song is designed to introduce the album or immediately hook the listener, an album’s second track has an arguably more difficult job: to keep the listener listening. Hence, track two might be a reasonable barometer of what the album has in store. Read on for a brief taste of local releases that slipped through the cracks in 2018.

Quick hits on overlooked Vermont albums from 2018 BY JORDAN ADAMS

Dokowala, “Shlo Motion”

Suburban Samurai, “This Town”

Cold Waves - First Volume

Short But Not Short Enough

Airy flute loops and spiked 808 snares outfit this 90-second found-sound concoction. Its jazzy, dreamlike vibes recall the sample-heavy DJ culture popular at the turn of the century. Cold Waves - First Volume is but one entry in Dokowala’s evergrowing catalog. Real name Alex Robtoy, the St. Albans native is cranking out instrumental hip-hop like nobody’s business. dokowala.bandcamp.com

Jason Baker, “A Locally Specific Blues” America Dreams

Messaging in music can be tricky to pull off. You can do it subtly, or you can do it the Jason Baker way. The Queen City singersongwriter, known for leading the Burlington Songwriters collective, clumsily jabs at President Donald Trump, systemic oppression and outrage culture in this rote acoustic ditty. Strangely, there’s nothing “locally specific” about any of Baker’s grievances. jbakervt.com

Binger, “Memory.Exe” Already Here

Rhymesmiths Braden Winslow and Shakir Stephen of NYC/ Burlington-based trio Binger ponder technology’s effect on the psyche in this bubbly funk-hop tune. The track shows that Binger’s strength lies in the group’s balance between eloquent bars and groove-centric instrumentation. An added bonus: JUPTR/smalltalker front person Steph Wilson (née Heaghney) contributes striking background vocals.

At two minutes and 41 seconds, “This Town” is the longest song on the most recent EP from Burlington melodic punk group Suburban Samurai. Though comparing such a group to Green Day might be as lazy as likening a weary acoustic folk singer to Bob Dylan, the Dookie-era energy here is undeniable. Think big major chords and breakneck drumming. Plus, singer Cody Delphia just sounds a whole lot like Billie Joe Armstrong. suburbansamuraimusic.bandcamp.com

Sten Bowen, “I’m Awake (Wait)” The Farthest Sun

Seldom-seen Reading-based singer-songwriter Sten Bowen isn’t one to bask in the spotlight — though his stellar piano chops certainly make him deserving. “I’m Awake” opens with courtly neoclassical keys before starkly transitioning into a soulsearching ballad. It’s vaguely reminiscent of Brian Wilson’s more elegiac tunes from his masterpiece Smile — but with an overtly Christian bent. stenbowen.bandcamp.com

Jesse Taylor, “Like What You See” 80° in October

In only a few words, Burlington-by-way-of Gray, Maine, singer-songwriter Jesse Taylor asks existential questions in the country-flavored pop tune “Like What You See.” Ultra-crisp production adds a sense of clarity to a song that deals with the crushing unknowingness of others, and the self. jessetaylor.bandcamp.com

99.9 The Buzz welcomes

Kyle “DJ Fattie B” Thompson at Retronome

Time After Time

Greetings, kiddos! Since nostalgia is pretty much permanently on our brains these days, I want to draw your attention to a couple of noteworthy items that’ll make you yearn for yesteryear — assuming you’re old enough to have experienced yesteryear the first time around. On Saturday, April 13, KYLE “DJ FATTIE B” THOMPSON celebrates 20 years of hosting Retronome, Club Metronome’s longestrunning party. Since 1999, Thompson has kept the dance floor thumping with hits from the DONNA SUMMER disco era to BEYONCÉ’s early reign in the 2000s. Originally, the night was the brainchild of former Club Metronome owner ANNE ROTHWELL and erstwhile host DJ CRAIG MITCHELL. He handed the reins over to Thompson after the latter ended his touring run as MC of the local acid-jazz/hip-hop ensemble BELIZBEHA. And though Retronome started out as primarily a disco and new-wave affair, about 10 years on, its repertoire began extending into the eclectic strains of the ’90s and beyond. In an email to Seven Days, Thompson deconstructed the current percentages. He says that he now plays 75 percent ’90s and 2000s, with about 20 percent ’80s and just a wee 5 percent from the ’70s. That makes sense, given how big ’90s culture is at the moment. “I never would have thought that two decades later I would still be doing the night and would [have] written a book about the (mis)adventures I’ve played

a part in along the way,” Thompson writes. The book he refers to is I Was a 400 Pound ’80s DJ: My Memoirs Through Music, which he published in 2015. Here’s a mind-bending fact: Retronome is a throwback dance party. But since it’s now 20 years old, the event itself is retro. That means for people who raged in the early days of Retronome but haven’t been back in a while — like me, for example — the very act of showing up to this weekend’s event is a throwback. That’s some meta shit right there. Retronome will likely continue for years to come. And just think: One day, you could find yourself dancing to that brand-new song you love when the event eventually pulls tunes from the 2010s. And speaking of nostalgia…

Dream of the ’90s

… a newly created local Facebook group deserves some recognition. It’s called Burlington Vermont in the 1990s, and it’s exactly what it sounds like. Founded a week ago by local chef RICHARD WITTING of Firefly Catering, the public group caters to folks who recall the Queen City’s scrappier days of the last great decade. Since its creation, the group has gone somewhat viral, locally speaking. At press time, more than 300 people had joined. Dozens of photos now appear in the group’s feed, such as a beautiful candid shot of LOIS BODOKY, aka the dearly departed “Hot Dog Lady.” Back before street food was chic, her humble hot dog

stand was pretty much the only option for a quick, cheap bite on the Church Street Marketplace. Posting to the group, Witting writes, “To some degree, I started this group because I actually don’t love Burlington that much anymore. But I can’t tell if that’s because I’ve changed or the town [has] (or both). But looking at all these photos, I feel like it was a special time.” Personally, I can attest that it was a special time. And the group’s members are charged up to share their experiences. Aside from catching a glimpse of some authentic ’90s fashions, you’ll see little bits and pieces of what Burlington’s culture and music scenes were like back then. Members have posted show posters, shots of cassette tapes, zines and other ephemera. For instance, one member posted a flier from Club Toast circa December 1995. The club, which closed in 1998, was the lynchpin of the local rock scene but also attracted national talent during its run. You can see that New Year’s Eve ’95 was a particularly rockin’ show, with defunct outfits CHIN HO!, the PANTS and WIDE WAIL ringing in 1996. Another hot post from the group’s first week: a cheesy AF rap music video produced by the Burlington Mayor’s Youth Office that urges the kids to take public transportation instead of private vehicles. If you want to relive your glory days, or take a peek at the Burlington that was, this is the group for you. I’ll have to dig around my personal archives to see if SOUNDBITES

The Spruce Peak Folk Festival recently announced its initial lineup. The two-day jamboree takes place on Saturday and Sunday, August 10 and 11, on the green at the Spruce Peak resort in Stowe. California folkrockers the MILK CARTON KIDS and Austin, Texas, singer-songwriter SHAWN COLVIN take on headlining duties. Local support includes alt-country crooner LOWELL THOMPSON and ethereal singersongwriter FRANCESCA BLANCHARD. String bands MIPSO and PARSONSFIELD are also scheduled to appear. In December 2018, California bluegrass festival WinterWonderGrass added a new Vermont branch at Stratton Mountain Resort. Forgoing a fullfledged hootenanny until 2020, its organizers are hosting a special two-day mini-fest on Saturday and Sunday, April 13 and 14, also at Stratton Mountain. Dubbed Sugar & Strings, the free event features powerhouse progressive oldtime group HORSESHOES & HAND GRENADES, “galaxy grass” quartet the KITCHEN DWELLERS, Americana heavy-hitters TWISTED PINE, southern Vermont luthier WILL SEEDERS MOSHEIM and FALSE HEARTS, and locals BEG, STEAL OR BORROW and exCABINET member PAPPY BIONDO.

Fans of jam outfits MISTER F and WILD ADRIATIC should be pumped for an intimate set from keyboardist SCOTT HANNAY on Friday at Orlando’s Bar and Lounge in Burlington. But rather than play selections from the aforementioned Shawn Colvin bands, he’ll plunk out reimagined themes from popular video games, such as The Legend of Zelda, Mega Man, Contra and Super Mario Bros.

REVIEW this Troy Millette, Living With a Ghost (SELF-RELEASED, CD, DIGITAL DOWNLOAD)

In a 2015 review of Jason Isbell’s album Something More Than Free, Pitchfork’s Stephen Deusner described the singer-songwriter as having “an eye for telling details that accrue into specific settings and characters.” It might seem crazy to compare, well, anyone to one of modern-day Americana’s most popular and exalted performers, but this particular description aptly applies to Fairfax songster Troy Millette. On his debut solo release, the EP Living With a Ghost, Millette serves up

Michael Chinworth, Three Vapors (SELF-RELEASED, DIGITAL DOWNLOAD)

Obsession usually bookends love. It’s there when one person first decides they have to have more of someone. And it’s there when one person can no longer be possessed: when their face drowns out any other image in the mind; when their voice lingers in the darkness; when, at the end, the loss consumes you. Vermont-based experimental musician Michael Chinworth has set his creative eye on obsession born from a severed relationship on his latest EP, Three Vapors. The Bennington College professor and performance artist employs a blend of

five alt-country-tinged light rock songs about universal topics of love, friendship and finding one’s path in the world. The themes are broad, but the lyrical and musical details pack a big emotional punch. Youthful hellraising is a trope in today’s popular country music. However, when the narrator in “Brothers” recounts getting drunk with his buddies and running from the cops, it’s more of an acknowledgment than a glorification of the past. He recognizes that his hometown “is just a little bit louder now” — as in, things change, people grow up and that’s OK. “Runaway” tells the story of a woman with a “lightning storm beneath her folded arms” looking to leave a bad

relationship for a better life. With a simple phrase about stacking boxes in a brand-new basement, Millette, in his raspy drawl, evokes the challenges and the sense of possibility that can come with a change of course. Nashville guitarist John Barclay pulls heartstrings throughout the EP with textural electric guitar playing that adds depth without stealing shine from Millette’s acoustic work. Millette, who was chosen by listeners to join Grace Potter’s 2017 Grand Point North festival, recorded Living With a Ghost with Christopher Hawthorn of Burlington’s Studio 150. Hawthorn produced, mixed and played keys on the EP. Additional musicians include Ezra Oklan on drums and Robinson Morse on bass. Vermont singer-songwriter Francesca Blanchard pitches in with background vocals on the mid-tempo

love song “Home.” Millette graduated from Saint Michael’s College in 2016 with a degree in English and a minor in creative writing. He essentially delivers a work of flash fiction in his song “Magnolias” with the lyrics “Counting snowflakes on some lonely drive / Singing ‘Born to Run’ but stumbling through my life.” With imagery like that, this collection is sure to strike a chord with fans of storytelling Americana troubadours such as Isbell and the radio-friendly stylings of Kip Moore. Living With a Ghost is available on iTunes, Spotify and Apple Music and at troymillettemusic.com. Catch Millette on Tuesday, April 16, as part of his weekly residency at 14th Star Brewing in St. Albans.

pop sensibilities with a sort of bottled experimental curiosity to create three odd, hybrid tunes. “Maybe loving you was as good as it gets,” Chinworth sings in a plaintive tone on the opening track, “Good as It Gets,” as a bed of samples connects like latticework beneath a gentle piano progression. As a songwriter, Chinworth showcases a special gift, which is the ability to take simple pop concepts and pull at them like taffy until the original intention is all but unrecognizable. With heightened emotional attentiveness, he attempts to turn loss, and the ensuing obsession, into a more mundane emotion, with seemingly mixed real-life results. “Fugue” steps further into experimental territory than the

preceding track as Chinworth lets his obsession become unchained, no longer attempting to normalize it. Layered vocals blend together one moment and jar against one another the next. As he sings softly about holding water — as in, his now-fruitless love — a looped, almostpanicked voice comes and goes, bleating out lines such as “I look at you, don’t look at me!” and “I lose my mind.” The record’s title, Three Vapors, comes from an older connotation of the latter word, where a vapor can be “a state of emotional agitation or hysterical obsession,” according to Chinworth in the album’s notes. Each track in turn is a separate vapor, a different take on a different obsession, though it feels like each obsession is really the same one. Throughout the ambient music and soft keys and pulsing noises that orbit his songs, Chinworth doesn’t bother to hide any part of himself — a commendable choice. Many other artists use experimental and ambient sounds

to obfuscate, but on this record the artist chooses to use those aesthetics as flashlights on his own heartbreak. Chinworth unspools his feelings throughout the album, gradually letting them break down into pure experimental music by the last song, “iiVIIViiVi (since you went away).” A gorgeous, glassy keyboard figure grounds the tune, but its architect uses that basis to launch attack after attack of frantic synth work, creating a sort of ticking-clock stress. The effect is meant to duplicate that sensation of a change finally being accepted, when the stress of a fixation with someone exhausts itself and finally falls silent. It is an experimental pop ode to falling out of love. Three Vapors is a terse, raw but sonically complex EP that comes and goes in 20 minutes, yet leaves a strong emotional residue.

Whole Package After releasing a run of singles and remixes over the past five years, electronic producer JAI WOLF

finally issued a proper album, The Cure to Loneliness, in 2019. This may not seem like such a big deal, but it is. In

the age of streaming, a time when many electronic artists in particular seem content to drop a never-ending string of oneoff tracks, a traditional full-length record inadvertently makes a statement. It says, “My work tells a story.” And though a traditional narrative may not exist, the record’s cohesive energy and emphasis on chillwave synths, stunning beats and bright, earworm hooks result in a gratifying sense of completion. Jai Wolf performs on Wednesday, April 17, at the Higher Ground Ballroom in South Burlington. MELVV opens.

Julian Gerstin Sextet, “Jugo de Mambo”

Radio Underground, “Hold On”

Plattsburgh-based new-age pianist Adrian Carr’s “Blue Is the Warmest Color” could score the climactic final scene in an art-house tearjerker. Full of dread and longing, the instrumental piece pairs the composer’s lilting piano work with cinematic cello and violin. The University of Vermont and SUNY Plattsburgh professor precisely and effectively pushes the emotional envelope.

Interplay between Derek Sensale’s agreeable vocals and Charlie Peckar’s snappy violin keep this mid-tempo folk tune moving forward. The unpretentious Brattleboro four-piece has the smalltown charm you’d expect of a northern Americana quartet, a quality heard particularly in the EP’s intimate production values.

I Am the Sea and You Are the Sky

A duet of piano and cello, “Waiting For Phyllis” is a lonely piece from contra-dance band Frost and Fire’s Aaron Marcus. The album, Men Don’t Cry, won the BarreMontpelier Times Argus’ 2018 Tammie Award for Best Traditional Album — though this particular track sounds fairly modern. Marcus may be known for whipping revelers into spirited frenzies with Frost and Fire, but this emotive cut shows a wide breadth of depth in his solo work.

Aptly named 14-minute odyssey “Labyrinth” is a mazelike, instrumental exploration of sounds and styles. The Burlington-based progressive fusionists noodle through a freewheeling first movement only to arrive at a glittery, house-tinged midpoint glowing with arpeggiated synths. Like Disco Biscuits or Brothers Past, Revibe bridge the gap between the mud-streaked fields of a jam festival parking lot and the light-speckled walls of a dance club.

store.cdbaby.com/cd/aaronmarcus

revibevt.bandcamp.com

Men Don’t Cry

Not for the easily perturbed, Burlington experimental music czar Gahlord Dewald’s massive sound exploration “Fenestration” is a grinding survey of alien textures. An exercise in no-input mixing, everything heard is a result of feedback manipulation sent through layers of processing. Pulsing, fizzing, skipping, scratching, screaming, dying — the track teems with emotionally charged sonic language.

The Old City

Inspired by crossroad cities such as San Francisco, Athens and Bogotá, Gerstin’s sextet travels the globe, more than once stopping off near the equator. Tropical breezes course through “Jugo de Mambo” — or “Mambo Juice” in English. Traditional piano riffs ascend and descend over sassy horns. Jubilant flute, stinging bass and a full percussion section converge in this shoulder-shimmying dance number. juliangerstin.com

At first, the Wormdogs’ “Warm When Wet” sounds like a fairly traditional bluegrass ditty with its quickened pickin’ and motley group vocals. But as it progresses, it reaches a psychedelic breakdown — which makes sense, given that auteur Ryan Power had a hand in its production. The track was originally written for Squimley and the Woolens, another local band that shares members with the Wormdogs.

Dark and Getting Darker

Dripping with classic-rock and ’90s postgrunge overtones, Radio Underground’s “Hold On” is a dramatic and evocative power ballad. Known for his work with Bardela and several local radio stations, singer Arty LaVigne’s voice wavers with the spirited humanity of David Byrne and the broken-down pathos of late-era Johnny Cash. twistedapplerecords.com/radiounderground

“Sunset After Rain”

REVIEW

obalt blue: That’s the color Shelburne Museum has painted its gallery for the current exhibit, “Harold Weston: Freedom in the Wilds.” On the lower level of the Pizzagalli Center for Art and Education, the electrifying hue provides an appropriately charged backdrop for the energetic paintings of 20th-century artist Weston. The very walls seem to illustrate how color held him in thrall. The exhibition pairs two distinct bodies of work: Weston’s unfettered, modernist Adirondack vistas from the early 1920s — in charcoal, pencil and oil on cardboard 74

and canvas — and the more austere but richly colored abstractions of his 1968-72 “Stone Series.” Also on view are samples of letters to his wife, Faith Borton, written in cramped and slanting cursive, as well as journal entries and photographs. Dubbed “the Thoreau of the Adirondacks” for his spiritual embrace of nature — in his writing as much as his painting — Weston lived at times in a one-room cabin near Saint Huberts, N.Y. During daily hikes he would sketch his beloved mountains and the attendant atmospherics, completing canvases later in his cabin studio. Over the winter of 1921-22, Weston was

there alone, a feat of endurance that would test the hardiest soul. He managed it with a disability: Polio at age 17 had left him with a paralyzed leg. But a condition that might cause many individuals to choose a cautious path had a different effect on Weston. As his granddaughter observes in a video on the museum website, “I call his personality ‘wild exuberance.’” Weston, she says, was fearless. The same might be said of his art making, which in some ways belied his formal education. Born in 1894 in Merion, Penn., to a family of some means, Weston benefited

“Birch Tree”

from early travel and schooling in Europe and, later, from fine art classes at Harvard University. He served as editor of the undergraduate humor magazine the Harvard Lampoon, to which he contributed a number of cartoons. Did that experience influence his painting? Perhaps. Weston defined mountain peaks, trees and even clouds with firm outlines. His Adirondacks are more curvaceous than jagged. The foregrounds of his pictures are often mound-shaped, as if the

earth is heaving with barely contained excitement. Clouds and trees are voluptuous, bulbous. In particular, Weston’s painting “Birch Tree” seems to stand at the intersection of van Gogh’s vibrational impressions and modern graphic art. It is almost, but not quite, cartoony. Weston’s skies, meanwhile, have a life of their own. The colors of a sunset might separate into dramatic streaks and swirls, as in the vibrant “Sunset Over Baxter Mountain.” In “Sunrise From Marcy,”

organizational skills met up with his love of art: He established a group that petitioned the federal government to support artists’ efforts. Eventually, that group helped push through legislation to create the National Endowment for the Arts. Weston never completely abandoned painting during these years, but in the late ’60s he launched into a new body of work — the “Stone Series.” The paintings are inspired by the calcite striations in Iberville shale, source of the smooth, gray and white rocks that are found on the

Harold Weston working with paint box

Weston captured the moment when the ascendant sun kissed the rims of an entire purplish range; the sky overhead is layered with pastel eyebrows. Throughout this time in the Adirondacks, the self-sufficient mountain man/ artist also made his own picture frames, carving them from pine and lightly gilding them. In 1922, a solo exhibition in New York City of Weston’s Adirondack work was a popular and critical success. Another influence on Weston’s work was his experiences during World War I. Unable to enlist, Weston volunteered with the YMCA in Baghdad. There he established an art club, encouraging soldiers to pass the time by drawing and painting. While his exposure to the Middle Eastern desert undoubtedly influenced his artistic palette, Weston was also affected by the suffering he witnessed. The experience would later lead him to paint murals for a federal program during the Great Depression and to step up his political activism during World War II. In 1943, Weston founded Food for Freedom, a coalition of American organizations that advocated for food aid for refugees. He lobbied First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt with his ideas for an international food relief organization, efforts that led to the creation of the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration. About a decade later, Weston’s

shores of Lake Champlain. A selection of these works, in gouache on toned paper, appears at the back of the gallery. If Weston’s Adirondack landscapes are unruly, these are calmer, more serene cousins. The vermicular patterns in the stones are precise and controlled. That said, Weston remained enamored of curves and swoops, as well as of luscious color. A closer look at some of the paintings reveals pointillistic patterns within a seemingly solid field. The piece titled “Forever Wild” is, paradoxically, the most stylized. Yet its vertically arranged, string-like lines, which meet in sharp points at the top, may represent the mountain peaks the artist so loved. Of these abstractions, Weston himself wrote, “They have but one major objective: to express through juxtapositions of form, color and suggested movement whatever an inner force requires me to paint at that time.” Weston died in 1972, seemingly in the moment with nature until the moments ran out. m

Peter Curtis and Roger Coleman

A compelling

display of artwork currently lines the long hallway that is Flynndog gallery in Burlington. A selection of photographs, taken on the streets of Havana by Richmond resident Peter Curtis and collectively called “Intervals,” convey movement, joy and celebration. Curtis’ lyrical compositions are paired with moody abstractions by Roger Coleman, a Burlington writer and painter. In his part of the show, titled “Shadows on the Moon Pool,” the canvases do have a shadowy, almost ethereal quality; they hint at nature without copying it. Coleman himself describes the paintings best: “My recent influences include Ralph Blakelock for butter gold light through dark trees and George Innes for a soft whispering brush. Also with respectable nods to Turner for explosive color and Whistler for the nocturnes and Helen Frankenthaler for realizing a poetic surface.” Through April.

movies Mary Magdalene ★★★★★

t’s going to be a sad day for me when Rooney Mara makes a superhero movie. She’s been doing her Audrey Hepburn-esque thing for more than a decade, so it’s something of a miracle that it hasn’t happened already. I admire gifted, intelligent actors who hold out. Of course, her ability to abstain from the gravy train may derive not solely from integrity and taste but from the fact that she comes from money. When Mara’s not in Hollywood not making comic-book pictures, she funds a charity called Faces of Kibera that provides care and housing to orphans in Nairobi. Mary Magdalene, truthfully, is the closest to a superhero movie a biblical drama has ever come. Scripted with inspired revisionist deftness by the Brit team of Helen Edmundson and Philippa Goslett, and directed by Garth Davis (Lion), this is the greatest story ever told and told as beautifully as it ever has been, if not better. And, hey, if you’re going to put a new spin on the Jesus saga, who better to cast than that on-camera wild card (and Mara’s real-life squeeze) Joaquin Phoenix? I’m baffled by the film’s lukewarm reviews. It’s a first-rate feat in every respect. Admit-

REVIEWS

tedly, the opening section is a trifle shaky. With minimal orientation, we’re thrust into the bustle and trouble of a dysfunctional family living in first-century Judaea. The source of domestic consternation is Mary, a young woman given to spaciness and speaking in tongues. She’s repulsed by the prospect of a marriage her father has arranged, and even more annoyed when he drags her into the ocean to cleanse her of demons. The piece missing from the puzzle of Mary’s existence arrives just in time. The menfolk have taken to sneaking off the job to listen to the teachings of a charismatic stranger known as “the healer.” One day Mary alarms her female friends by joining the guys. One look at the bearded figure curing the sick and giving sight to the blind, and her purpose is revealed. Many critics have nitpicked Phoenix’s speech patterns and overall approach to the part. Down to the minutest detail, however, I found his take enormously compelling. Here’s where the superhero parallel comes into play: This retelling starts when Jesus and his disciples have only recently gotten into the messiah business. Davis effectively portrays the conflicting agendas within the ragtag group. Some, like Peter (Chiwetel Ejiofor), are in it to topple the em-

pire. Others, such as Judas (Tahar Rahim), are basically fanboys who’ve gotten it into their heads that the Kingdom of God that Jesus means to establish on Earth will bring the dead back to life. Judas is convinced he’ll be reunited with his daughter, especially after the whole Lazarus thing. It’s the boldest reinterpretation of the character I’ve seen. This Judas isn’t a traitor. He simply assumes that because Christ can raise the dead, he will. With powers that great, he figures, Jesus will easily be able to handle Roman captors.

Pet Sematary ★★★

ho cares if cats are camerashy? This is the year they came into their own at the multiplex, thanks at least in part to the magic of CGI. Last fall we saw gratuitous feline reaction shots in Bohemian Rhapsody, followed earlier this year by the scene-stealing tabby of Captain Marvel. Now four credited Maine coons play the pivotal role of Church in the new adaptation of Stephen King’s 1983 novel Pet Sematary, directed by Kevin Kölsch and Dennis Widmyer. And those kitties are arguably the movie’s breakout stars. Church is pivotal because it’s his job to teach the story’s protagonists an apparently unlearnable lesson: Death sucks, but denial is worse. Shortly after the Creed family moves to rural Maine, 9-year-old Ellie’s beloved cat becomes roadkill. Doctor dad Louis (Jason Clarke) wants to be honest with his daughter (Jeté Laurence), but his wife, Rachel (Amy Seimetz), who has her own troubled history with death, begs him to sugarcoat the truth. The Creeds’ crusty new neighbor, Jud (John Lithgow), offers to solve the problem by interring Church in a mysterious burial ground deep in the woods, behind the town’s official “Pet Sematary.” The next day, Church comes back, but he’s not the same. Glossy, hissy and lionine, his eyes dripping with intelligent malice, he becomes a sort of demon familiar overseeing the family’s inevitable destruction. Because now that Louis knows a spot on his property 80 SEVEN DAYS APRIL 10-17, 2019

HIS FINEST GLOWER A cat named for Winston Churchill teaches us all an important lesson about death in the latest Stephen King adaptation.

can resurrect the dead — sort of — he can’t unknow it. Pet Sematary is a harrowing book about grief and the bad decisions it spawns. The problem with retelling King’s moral fable cinematically, though, is that it depends so heavily on Louis’ perspective. On-screen, his refusal to grasp the obvious, which should be tragic, can become almost comi-

cal. What we actually see is a protagonist doing exactly what he was repeatedly warned not to do — first by a ghost (Obssa Ahmed) with oozing brains, then by the whole zombie cat experience. Unheeded warnings are commonplace in horror, but here they’re the bulk of the plot. Mary Lambert’s 1989 adaptation of Pet Sematary embraces that absurdity. It’s seldom

Meanwhile, Mary Magdalene and Jesus develop a moving intimacy. Of all his followers, she has the coolest head and purest heart. In one of the film’s finest scenes, she asks “what it’s like to be one with God.” He smiles and replies, “No one has ever asked me.” We never get the answer, naturally. The filmmakers aren’t about to take that liberty. Yet it’s a sign of how subtle and searching this reframing of Mary’s story is that the question is even raised. RI C K KI S O N AK

scary or sad, but it’s a good slumber-party movie, full of campy high points. By contrast, this Pet Sematary boasts lead actors who can actually convey the emotions they’re supposed to. The filmmakers tone down the silliness — at least for a while — and alter the midpoint twist in a way that, whatever King loyalists may think of it, generates a few genuinely disturbing scenes. Yet, for all this classing-up, the result is somehow still more hokey than harrowing. Louis and Jud still seem willfully obtuse rather than believably flawed. The biggest scares still come from Rachel’s memories of her disabled sister (Alyssa Brooke Levine), who’s still treated more like a scary prop than a person. Kölsch and Widmyer seem to want to establish a subdued, naturalist register, yet they cleave closer to camp as they go, eventually concocting a coda wackier than anything in Lambert’s version. If you want a genuinely devastating Pet Sematary, this isn’t it. But considering how audiences react whenever horror movies get close to portraying real trauma (remember Mother! and Hereditary?), camp may be a safer bet. If anything, screenwriters Matt Greenberg and Jeff Buhler seem less interested in the grief of the living than in the malevolence of the undead — first and foremost, that creepy cat. Long live undead Church and his fellow residents of the Uncanny Valley between the digital and the flesh. MARGO T HARRI S O N

SEVEN DAYS APRIL 10-17, 2019

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY BY ROB BREZSNY REAL APRIL 11-17 GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Poet David Hin-

ton analyzed the Chinese word for “poetry.” Its etymological meaning is “words spoken at the fertility altar.” Let’s make that your theme, even if you don’t write or read poetry. I suspect the coming weeks will be a favorable time to take a vow or utter a solemn intention in front of a homemade fertility altar. The oath you speak might express a desire to boost your use of your physical vitality: your lust for life, your adoration of the natural world or your power to produce new human life. Or your vow to foster your fertility could be more metaphorical and symbolic in nature: the imaginative intimacy you will explore, or the creativity you’ll express in future works of art or the generous effects you want to have on the world.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19)

The Qing Dynasty controlled China from the mid-17th century to the early 20th century. It was the fifth biggest empire in world history. But eventually it faded, as all mighty regimes do. Revolution came in 1911, forcing the last emperor to abdicate and giving birth to the Republic of China. I’m inclined to think of your life in 2019 as having some similarities to that transition. It’s the end of one era and the beginning of another; a changing of the guard and a passing of the torch. The coming weeks will be a favorable time to be very active in deciding and visualizing the empire you want next.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): I hope that sometime soon you’ll acquire a new source of support or inspiration. Now is a phase of your astrological cycle when you’re likely to attract influences that are in alignment with your deep values. This addition might be a person or animal. It could be a vibrant symbol or useful tool. It may even be a fantasy character or departed ancestor that will stimulate vitality you haven’t been able to summon on your own. Be on the lookout for this enhancement.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Christopher Robin Milne was the son of author A. A. Milne, who wrote the Winnie-the-Pooh stories. He said there are two ways to navigate through life. Either you “take a bearing on something in the future and steer towards it, or take a bearing on something in the past and steer away from it.” So in his view, “There are those who look ahead and pull and those who look behind and push.” I’m hoping that in the coming weeks and months, you will make a delighted commitment to the first option: taking a bearing on something in the future and steering toward it. I think that approach will inspire you toward the most interesting success. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): The national animal of Finland is the brown bear. The national insect is the ladybug, and the national instrument is a stringed instrument known as the kantele. As for the national author, it’s Aleksis Kivi, who produced just one novel that took him ten years to write. He also published a short collection of odes and a few plays, adding up to a grand total of less than 800 pages of work. I think that the efforts you make in the coming weeks could have a disproportionately large impact, as well, Leo. What you lack in quantity will be irrelevant compared to the sheer quality you generate. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): I follow the blog-

ger Evanescent Voyager because she makes me cry with sad joy and exultant poignance

on a regular basis. One of her other fans wrote her a love note I could have written myself. It said, “Your emotional brilliance and thoughtful passion break me into pieces and then weave me back together with more coherence than I had before reading you. I revere your alchemical talent for undoing me so you can heal me, for lowering my defenses so I can be open to your riches, for demolishing my habitual trance so you can awaken my sleeping genius.” I believe that in the coming weeks, life itself will offer to perform these same services for you, Virgo. I urge you to accept!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “Love is no assign-

ment for cowards.” That’s a quote attributed to the ancient Roman poet Ovid. What did he mean? Was he foreshadowing the wisdom of pop singer Pat Benatar, who in 1983 told us, “Love is a battlefield”? Was Ovid implying that to succeed in the amorous arts we must be heroic warriors prepared to overcome fears and risk psychological dangers? Probably. But I will also point out that it takes as much courage to create fun, interesting togetherness as it does to wrestle with the problems that togetherness brings. You need just as much bravura and panache to explore the sweet mysteries of intimacy as you do to explore the achy mysteries of intimacy. Keep these thoughts in mind as you marshal your audacity to deepen and expand your best relationships in the coming weeks.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The literal meaning of the French term jolie-laide is “pretty and ugly.” Bloggers at wordsnquotes.com define it as follows: “It’s a fascinating quirkiness that’s irresistible, like a face you want to keep looking at even if you can’t decide whether it is beautiful or not.” Jolie-laide overlaps with the Japanese term wabi-sabi, which describes a person or thing that is lovely because of its imperfection and incompleteness. I bring these facts to your attention because I think you have extraordinary potential to be a master embodier of both jolie-laide and wabi-sabi in the coming weeks. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): As Czech

playwright Vaclav Havel (1936–2011) matured, he became a political dissident who opposed the Soviet Union’s authoritarian grip on his country. Eventually he was a key player in the

Velvet Revolution that banished Communism. When Czechoslovakia emerged as a new democracy, its people elected him president. Havel later thanked Lou Reed and the band the Velvet Underground for fully awakening his liberationist leadership. He said their unruly music stoked his longing to establish a culture where total creative freedom was possible. I mention this, Sagittarius, because now is a favorable time to identify the music or art or films or literature that might fuel your emancipation in the coming months.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Capricorn author J.R.R. Tolkien toiled on his masterpiece The Lord of the Rings for twelve years. Once he finished, it wasn’t published for more than five years. So seventeen years passed between the time he launched his precious project and the time when it reached an audience. I don’t think you will need that much patience in shepherding your own venture to full expression, Capricorn. But I hope you’ll summon as much faith in yourself as Tolkien had to rouse in himself. To do so will bring out the best in you! AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Released in

1998, The Prince of Egypt is an animated film that tells the story of the Hebrew prophet Moses. In the climactic event, the hero uses magic to part the waters of the Red Sea, allowing his people to run across the sea floor and escape the army that’s chasing them. To make that seven-minute scene, 28 professional animators labored for 318,000 hours. In the coming months, you could create your own version of that marvel, Aquarius. But you’ll need a team to help you, and that team is not yet ready to go. The coming weeks will be a favorable time to get it ready, though.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Piscean businessman Steve Jobs testified that taking LSD was “one of the two or three most important things” he ever did in his life. It opened his mind in ways he felt were crucial to his development. What are the three most important things you’ve ever done, Pisces? I invite you to revisit at least one of them and see if you can take it to the next step of its power to inspire you. What if it has even more to offer you in your efforts to become the person you want to be?
