TIME TO SHINE
A Vermont soldier came out as gay on live TV during the New York City Pride March. That’s a different kind of bravery.

JUDGE TO CITY:
RELEASE BODYCAM FOOTAGE B
urlington officials must disclose bodycam video showing the March altercation between a city cop and Douglas Kilburn, who died three days later, a judge ruled Monday. Judge Helen Toor decided that the video relates to an arrest and cannot be withheld — even if investigators believe it might interfere with their work. The decision is a win for the Burlington Police Officers’ Association, which sued on behalf of Officer Cory Campbell. Police Chief Brandon del Pozo said during a meeting of the city’s police commission on Tuesday night that the city will release the video soon. “It will be good for everyone involved to see this, from Officer Campbell to the community at large,” union president Dan Gilligan said. In April, the state’s chief medical
? 802much

examiner, Steven Shapiro, classified Kilburn’s death as a homicide. Shapiro was unable to identify the immediate cause of death but attributed it to several underlying factors, including hypertension, obesity, diabetes and vascular disease, along with skull fractures due to blunt-force trauma. Del Pozo and Mayor Miro Weinberger privately disputed the homicide finding and went so far as to ask the governor’s office to stop its release. City leaders believed video from the confrontation would help quell the political backlash. But the police department had earlier turned the case over to the Vermont State Police, whose policy bars disclosure of bodycam video during active investigations. At the state’s request, the city withheld the video.
Campbell, meanwhile, refused to talk to state investigators unless he could first view the bodycam video. In its April suit, the union argued that bodycam video associated with an arrest is a public record under state law regardless of any pending investigation. Toor agreed. The state police has already handed its report to Attorney General T.J. Donovan, who has yet to make a charging decision in the case. But Campbell’s attorney, Rich Cassidy, welcomed the Supreme Court’s decision. “We think it’s good for union members to have this kind of video be readily available, because our people do a good job of doing very difficult work,” he said.

A judge ruled that a lawsuit against the CityPlace Burlington development could proceed. At least something is moving forward.

WHAT’S WEIRD IN VERMONT
TAT’S ON YOU
I
t’s official: A handful of Seven Days staffers are newly eligible to apply for the Vermont State Police force. That’s because the department has eased its policy on arm tattoos. Previously, anyone with ink visible below a short-sleeve uniform shirt was deemed ineligible for a position as a trooper. Now, those with such tats must cover them with department-issued arm sleeves during their shifts. So what caused the VSP to rub out the rule? The department worries it’s missing out on good potential recruits, including military vets, according to Capt. Julie Scribner, VSP’s staff
operations commander. It’s also an acknowledgement that tats are now more culturally accepted than before. Scribner said the policy closely aligns with one recently implemented by the Connecticut State Police. Departments in Maine, Massachusetts and Delaware have made changes, too, she said. “We’re just becoming more progressive and attuned to the current trends in society,” Scribner said. The change means off-duty troopers are “free to be able to express their individuality,” she added. Face tattoos? Those are still prohibited, as is ink on the neck or hands, except for a commitment band on the ring finger, according to Scribner. Also outlawed: “any type of tattoo that indicates an extremist, sexist or racist ideology or affiliation.”
New recruits will be asked about all of their tattoos, visible and not, and will need to disclose them on an application, according to Scribner. While there are no spot checks of covered tats, a recruiter could ask an applicant about their ink during the polygraph portion of the process, Scribner said. The new policy is already paying dividends. The department went back to several potential recruits who had been disqualified in the last five years because of their tattoos. Six have already reapplied, according to Scribner. She expects even more qualified potential troopers to take advantage of the tat tweak. “Fifty years ago, you needed to be a six-foottall man to apply for a position as a Vermont state trooper — and I am neither,” Scribner said with a laugh. “Policies change.” SASHA GOLDSTEIN SEVEN DAYS JULY 3-10, 2019

READER REACTION TO RECENT ARTICLES
RAY’S WAY
[Re “Changing Stations,” May 29]: In 2000, my husband, Michael, and I had not been married very long when we decided to take on a new venture, the Town and Country Motel on Shelburne Road in Burlington. Later, we redeveloped the land into Clock Tower Square. This entire time, we have been business neighbors with Ray Kaigle and Kaigle’s Citgo. We have often said how lucky we have been to be next door to him all these years. If you want to learn how to run a business, you watch Ray. If you want to see a great work ethic, watch Ray. If you want to know how to treat customers and retain them for years, watch Ray. If you want to know how to have a business in 2019 that thrives without the need of a website, watch Ray. He is there early, stays late, calls you if he sees something suspicious. If you are in a real jam, he will try hard to help. If he can’t, he will find someone whom he personally knows can. Thank you, Ray Kaigle; you will be missed. We look forward to hearing about your next chapter. Because if we learned anything from you, we know you will not be stopping anytime soon. Jill Diemer

BETTER BUS SERVICE
The article about the changes in bus service focused on the first-day confusion of riders facing schedule changes and the unreliability of Green Mountain Transit’s computer tracking system [“Correct Change? Green Mountain Transit Rolls Out New Routes, Apps,” June 19]. Most riders use the paper map and guide, and it is vastly improved — real maps for each route, not the sometimes-wandering squiggly red lines. Of course on the first day there was confusion … but most local buses now run every 20, not 30, minutes. Once people get used to the new schedules, this is a big improvement. But the biggest change is on Sunday. Used to be that Sunday service was minimal — just 19 buses on three lines. Now Burlington buses run full Sunday schedules — 64 buses on all the local lines. You can visit Shelburne Museum on Sunday. Students can go from the University of Vermont to the airport with one bus, not two. There are year-round airport buses on weekends, not just Memorial Day to
Columbus Day. And GMT has added a new bus to Barre. Seven Days should have published an article before the changes went into effect, not after. It could have been informative and helpful and not written by someone who never rode the bus.

LAWN GONE
Thank you for [Nest: “Earth Angels,” June 8] — a good primer into the art of helping to heal the Earth by tending to our yards with a goal of healthy soil. It is encouraging to hear the science in how we as individuals can help make a difference in climate warming. Science offers us guidance following a better understanding of what constitutes healthy soils. Now our eyes view a perspective of the beauty of diversity (of living plants and insects). Now we know we can earn credit toward our “Earth angel” wings, while enjoying more insects, butterflies, dragonflies and birds — and many more startling and beautiful creatures alive in a healthy ecosystem. In our yard, we are allowing nature to birth whatever she chooses, and she is surprising us with her diversity of color, height and ever-changing rebirth of flowering throughout the season. Our small, quiet electric mower diminishes nature’s bounty only on curving pathways. As a friend said, “We now think of our lawn as an area rug, not wall-to-wall carpet.” Let’s read more about the importance and value of growing native plants with wildlife value and landscaping attributes,

WATCH THIS FILM
Sadly, the sci-fi movie High Life lasted only a week in a Burlington movie theater. Now, happily, it is available on Amazon. People interested in seeing this should refer to Margot Harrison’s May 8 review of the film. High Life is disturbing, dark, claustrophobic and deeply poetic. Claire Denis, as in her film Beau Travail about the modern French Foreign Legion, paints a haunting portrait of lives heading toward dead ends in horrible places. (Futurists out there with glorious hopes of generational spaceships might want to check out this film.) Space is not a friendly place. It is a place that tests the very nature of humanity, and High Life details this with terrifying clarity. Robert Pattinson gives another terrific performance with this — once again — edgy choice of roles. High Life is not a Star Wars sort of film — nothing like it. It is moody, meditative and grim. It is also a unique cinematic experience! Check out Margot’s review for much more on this! Dave Donohue

WEEK IN REVIEW
Paul Heintz’s thorough exploration of Bernie Sanders and gun issues over the years misses an obvious explanation of Bernie’s early hostility to gun control [“Stickin’ to His Guns,” June 26]. Bernie, being a Trotskyite Socialist Workers Party supporter, resonated with Leon Trotsky’s bitter complaint against the Stalin regime that “The army not only has not been replaced by an armed people, but has given birth to a privileged officers’ caste, crowned with marshals, while the people, ‘the armed bearers of the dictatorship,’ are now forbidden in the Soviet Union to carry even non-explosive weapons.” Trotskyites believe that the working class cannot rise up and seize power without possessing arms. When the State — whether czarist, capitalist or Soviet — suppresses or prohibits gun ownership among the working class, the State will crush the socialist revolution. In recent years, Bernie has backpedaled from the Trotskyite fervor of his younger days to seek favor among left liberals (Democrats). How disgusted Trotsky would have been to watch this.

Your recent coverage of Bernie Sanders is very telling. It tells us about the huge chip on your shoulder, which I presume is due to his refusal to do interviews with Seven Days reporters in the last few years.

paper, and it seems your main goal is to discredit him. I think the fact that he has evolved his stance on gun control is appropriate for the growing horror of gun violence we have in this country. Rather than continue to run pieces that are obviously motivated by sour grapes, it would be so valuable to readers if Seven Days would research and run
stories that serve to educate us about all of the presidential candidates. We have so few reliable news sources these days, and there are so many candidates.

BERNIE LIED
No one should be surprised that Bernie Sanders basically called Seven Days liars on national TV [Off Message: “Sanders Disputes Seven Days Story During Democratic Debate,” June 27]. Bernie’s ambition has no shame. For years his “Guns are a local issue” line has allowed him to avoid an honest and realistic federal approach to the horrendous slaughter of innocent Americans, especially children, because Bernie was terrified of angry gun owners rallying against him. Facts are facts; Bernie’s statements and quotes are not “mischaracterizations.” He made statements he may now wish he hadn’t, but that doesn’t make reporters who quote him liars. Authentic Bernie, the reformer who milks campaign funds for personal gain, is wearing a little thin.

WINE TALK PARKWAY IS OUTDATED
The back-and-forth between city officials and an increasing number of opponents of the current Champlain Parkway design is familiar enough [Off Message: “Burlington Citizen Group Sues to Stop Champlain Parkway,” June 11]. It masks a larger concern that is not being directly addressed: When faced with an imminent climate catastrophe, why do we keep doing things the same old way? Building a big new road — even with 95 percent federal funding — makes no sense at all at a moment in our city, country and planet when the whole transportation system needs to be rethought. We will look back (if we are still around) on the era of the automobile-centered society with amazement at our shortsightedness and self-indulgence. The Parkway project reminds me strongly of the book Anasazi America, in which David Stuart describes the collapse of the Chaco Canyon civilization. Despite a radically changed climate and imminent
disaster, one group of Anasazis insisted on continuing to build the ceremonial roads that ate up much of the dwindling resource base. It made no sense then, and it makes no sense now.

GODFORSAKEN CATHEDRAL
[Re “Priced for Scale: $8.5 Million Listing Could Limit Options for Burlington Cathedral,” June 26]: Let’s get real. There is nothing sacred about this building or the planted trees. Take it from one who knew the original church building: This was a poor substitute, uncomfortable and, in my opinion, not an inspiring design — rivaled by the new Shelburne library monstrosity. And the fact that Bishop Christopher Coyne is asking almost double the assessed value is obscene in itself. Hopefully it will become a housing project, but I’m not sure who can afford it as an investment — unless it’s high-priced

Max Misch Loses Gun Law Challenge in Criminal Case B Y DER EK B R OU WER
White nationalist Max Misch lost his constitutional challenge to a 2018 state law banning high-capacity gun magazines, under which he’s the first known Vermonter to be prosecuted. Last Friday, a Bennington judge tossed out Misch’s challenge, writing that the law “advances the people’s public-safety interest in a modest and reasonable way while respecting the right to bear arms.” The ruling allows the criminal case against Misch, filed by Attorney General T.J. Donovan earlier this year, to proceed. FILE: LISA RATHKE/ASSOCIATED PRESS

he Pinnacle at Spear neighborhood in South Burlington is named for its enviable spot atop a knoll overlooking Lake Champlain. The 86 single-family homes in the 1990s-era subdivision off Spear Street lie in the headwaters of Bartlett Brook, which flows north, and Munroe Brook, which flows south. The property’s developer installed a series of ponds to collect rainwater that would otherwise run off roofs and driveways and flush pollutants into the brooks. There was just one problem — the ponds didn’t really work. Whether because of a design flaw, lack of maintenance or both, stormwater in most cases rushed in one side of the main pond and right out again. “Basically, it never did anything,” said Tom DiPietro, South Burlington’s stormwater superintendent. The city’s stormwater utility redesigned the ponds to better mimic the natural landscape. Now, new berms force the water to follow a more leisurely course, giving it time to percolate through soil and 12

Judge William Cohen is the first member of the judiciary to rule on the law, but he will not be the last. Prior to Misch’s prosecution, a coalition of sportsmen’s and Second Amendment groups sued the state in Washington Superior Court on similar grounds. That suit is pending. Gun groups haven’t rushed to defend Misch, who is being represented by a public defender. An unpaid intern penned his constitutional challenge. Misch is accused of going to New Hampshire to buy a pair of 30-round rifle magazines and bringing them to his Bennington home. The new law banned purchase or acquisition of magazines with capacities of more than 10 rounds for rifles and 15 rounds for handguns, though people can legally possess magazines they owned before the law went into effect. State police began investigating the case just days after Donovan announced that he hadn’t found grounds to criminally charge Misch for his racist missives to former state representative Kiah Morris. Misch told Seven Days on Monday that he plans to appeal Cohen’s “terrible decision.” Contact: derek@sevendaysvt.com

Ross Yannecy
O
n most summer nights, you can find Ross Yannecy slinging burgers and tacos on Burlington’s College Street. His big black-and-white food truck, Fast Food Good Food, is hard to miss. It’s festooned with multicolored neon lights inside and out, and music plays through big speakers affixed to one side. Yannecy operates his greasy spoon on wheels from 6 p.m. to 3 a.m. in front of Finnigan’s Pub, a prominent spot not far from pedestrian-packed Church Street. His is one of two trucks permitted to operate downtown. While pub-crawlers go for Yannecy’s grub, others are less keen on mobile kitchens like his. Critics claim the trucks benefit from doing business at a lower cost, which puts the 100 or so other downtown eateries at a competitive disadvantage. “You have brick-and-mortar restaurants open 12 months a year,” Church Street Marketplace Commission chair Jeff Nick said. “For a food truck to come in and pick and choose the prime times and then leave doesn’t seem very fair.” Although it is not unique to Burlington — Washington, D.C., San Francisco and Boston are engaged in similar food fights — the conflict is heating up here. Just last week, the Burlington City Council passed a resolution creating a committee that could consider adding more food trucks downtown, where their presence

is limited. The group is tasked with examining the current rules — and potentially adding new ones — to protect traditional food vendors. And there’s plenty of interest from would-be rolling restaurants. The city clerk’s office, which administers peddling licenses, hears frequent requests, according to administrative assistant Christine Dunbar, who said, “I have to tell them no.” “They want reasons why,” she told the city council’s license committee last month. “They want answers.”

The city’s peddling ordinance does provide an explanation. Since 1995, the rule book had allowed just two food trucks in Burlington’s “central peddling district,” which comprises the area within Main, Battery, Pearl and South Union streets — but not on the Church Street Marketplace or near City Hall Park.

First Day of School: UVM’s New President Reports to Work ST O RY & P H O TO B Y MO L LY WA L S H Suresh Garimella
New University of Vermont president Suresh Garimella vowed Monday to emphasize fiscal prudence and innovation as the school’s leader. “I will work tirelessly to take UVM to an even better place,” Garimella said during a press conference his first day on the job. Unpacked boxes lined the hallway leading to his office in the Waterman Building in Burlington, where more than a dozen journalists gathered for a meet and greet with the president of Vermont’s state university and largest institution of higher education. Garimella said he would focus on helping students succeed in a world where their education should evolve beyond what the generation before them received. Even before he officially started the job, Garimella said, he met with students in the cafeterias and hallways. He wants to continue that practice. “I’m very anxious to get to know the students better,” he said, adding: “I hope that they see they can approach me anytime.” He acknowledged the challenges in higher ed — including the declining number of high school grads in the Northeast and the closures of three Vermont colleges this year — but said UVM is well positioned to “weather the storm.” Garimella said UVM’s status as a land grant institution appealed to him. Land grant schools grew out of a movement in the late 1880s to help the working class get an education. “I’m a product of public schooling. I don’t come from means,” said Garimella. Everyone should have the kinds of opportunities he’s had, he said. Over the last two years, UVM students have pushed for a more diverse faculty, a more inclusive curriculum, and other goals around race and ethnicity. Asked about the protests, Garimella said everyone at UVM should feel welcomed and that he expects to continue to work toward diversity goals. The activism on campus reflects an engaged community, he added. “I see it as a plus,” Garimella said. Contact: molly@sevendaysvt.com

Friends, Foes and Rivals The latest Burlington-SoBu dustup is nothing new BY MOLLY WAL S H
S
outh Burlington and Burlington split from each other way back in the Civil War era. But like ex-spouses who haven’t buried the hatchet, they still squabble — and sometimes have major rows. Case in point: the recent fracas over a Burlington City Council decision that paves the way for concert venue Higher Ground to relocate to the Burton Snowboards complex in that city’s South End, within spitting distance of the city line. South Burlington Councilor Meaghan Emery roundly chastised her Burlington counterparts for the zoning change approval and decried the noise and traffic that it could mean for SoBu’s Queen City Park neighborhood, a quiet enclave of homes on Shelburne Bay. Her city wasn’t given enough time to weigh in, she said. “This is going to have a major impact here,” Emery said. “It is a source of frustration.” Emery is now floating an idea to restrict the popular Red Rocks Park between
Burton and the Queen City Park neighborhood to South Burlington residents only. The 100-acre woodland with scenic views and cliffs that plunge into Lake Champlain draws visitors from around the region. Heavy use is damaging trails, and dog waste is such a problem that Green Up Day volunteers picked up roughly 150 pounds, Emery said. Burlington officials point out that they sent public notice of the zoning change meetings to South Burlington’s planning department, and the meetings were publicly warned — and got news coverage. “That’s on them” to engage

$100 a year, while a central one costs $300. Each of the seven spots on University Place, by the University of Vermont, goes for $400, Dunbar said. The city allows 16 carts — that sell food and other goods — to operate on Church Street at a fee that ranges from $600 to $2,400 annually. That’s peanuts compared to the thousands of dollars tenants pay in rent each month. Commercial property owners pay taxes on 120 percent of their building’s assessed value, according to the city’s Chief Financial Officer Beth Anderson. If they’re on Church Street, they also owe an extra fee to the Marketplace. Both peddlers and restaurants pay a tax on gross receipts. That’s little comfort to Tom and Deb Miller, who’ve owned Ken’s Pizza and Pub on Church Street for 45 years. They were two of a handful of business owners who appeared at the June 5 license committee work session to plead with councilors to uphold food truck limits downtown. The couple said ArtsRiot’s weekly truck stop on Pine Street, now five years in, has decimated their Friday night crowds. Like many other restaurants, Ken’s struggles to draw customers during

“You don’t want somebody to block your signage,” Sampson said. “If there’s a line to it, you’re gonna block the sidewalk, so it’s not convenient for people to pass by. You look at Burlington right now … There’s no place for [food trucking].” Sampson said construction, traffic and lack of parking all make for a difficult food truck experience downtown. She is slinging spring rolls elsewhere in the city, including at breweries and other private properties, which is allowed under her central peddling district permit. Sampson would rather see the city open a designated space for trucks. So would Solomon Bayer-Pacht, co-owner of the Farmers & Foragers food truck. While he said he’d love to see more spots downtown, he’s not sure he’d apply for one if they become available. “We would feel weird to set up facing another restaurant,” Bayer-Pacht said. “To be parked up on a curb downtown feels like it would be awkward.” Instead, he imagines a city-sanctioned gathering spot near the waterfront, perhaps at the reenvisioned Moran Plant, with picnic tables and an

outdoor bar — a scene instead of just a curb to call his own. City Councilor Adam Roof (I-Ward 8) chairs the license committee and introduced the resolution creating the food truck committee. He said he doesn’t know how to solve all the food truck problems but thinks the status quo is unfair. “You could throw your bucket of poutine from the cart on Church Street to the truck on College Street, and there’s a massive difference in the cost [to operate each business],” he said. “That’s the problem. What’s the solution?” That’ll be up to the food truck committee, Roof said. Food cart, food truck and restaurant owners; a city staffer; a city councilor; and others will sit on the panel. Those interested in serving have until July 9 to apply. The selected committee will report back with recommendations this fall, the resolution says. “The role of good government … is to set a level playing field within a marketplace so businesses can legitimately compete,” Roof said. “I’m interested to see what comes out of the other end of this process.”

news Under Water « P.12 percent of the phosphorus pollution in Vermont’s largest lake. “I’m not sure we have a choice, given our goals for Lake Champlain,” Moore said. “Clearly, reducing the phosphorus load reaching the lake associated with stormwater from our developed lands is essential.” In Vermont, agriculture is by far the largest source of phosphorus, a pollutant that contributes to potentially toxic algae blooms and other water quality problems. Farms and dairies produce about 40 percent of the phosphorous that reaches Lake Champlain, according to the state. Dirt eroded from stream banks is second, at 22 percent. Developed lands, including paved and unpaved roads, are next at 20 percent. Forests contribute 15 percent, while wastewater treatment plants are responsible for 3 percent. The new regulations are a long time coming. Vermont has struggled with how to clean up urban and suburban stormwater for more than two decades. Lawmakers included what is known as the three-acre rule in the state’s Clean Water Act in 2015. The state missed a 2017 deadline to draft rules to implement the policy but finished the work in March 2019. More detailed property-specific guidelines were supposed to be in place by July 1, but the state has missed that target, too, said Padraic Monks, stormwater program manager in the Department of Environmental Conservation. Property owners will be notified of their need to comply with the new regulations around July 15, Monks said. A public comment period and meeting will follow, after which the rules will have the force of law. The state is finalizing the list of properties that will need work and wants to make sure staff is prepared for the deluge of questions likely to follow, Monks said. “For those affected, it’s a very big deal,” he said. Environmental advocates say the new rules are long overdue. The Conservation Law Foundation, which advocated for the new regulations, has been frustrated with the pace of the rollout but is pleased a milestone has finally been reached, said staff attorney Elena Mihaly. “This is a really important step in implementing the big Lake Champlain cleanup plan,” Mihaly said. Business leaders are on board with doing their part to clean up the lake because they know how crucial water quality is to the health of the local economy, said Ernie Pomerleau, president and 16

CEO of Burington-based Pomerleau Real Estate, one of the largest commercial real estate firms in the state. “We swim in it, and we fish in it, and we boat on it, so we get it,” Pomerleau said. But most property owners affected by the new rules will be blindsided, he said. “This is going to be mind-boggling for the state to administer, mind-boggling in terms of the cost, and most people are not prepared or able to do any of this,” Pomerleau said. While such measures have been discussed in theory for years, many businesspeople and property owners don’t pay close attention to pending regulations, he said. When faced with rules they view as unfair, many may choose to fight, Pomerleau said.
“We’ll deal with it when it comes down our pike, I guess,” Hoehn said. Anticipating pushback, the state has given property owners lots of time to comply. Permits for projects in the Champlain and Memphremagog basins must be approved by 2023 and then will be given a 2028 deadline. Property owners in other parts of the state have been given until 2033. The law provides a long “on-ramp” for compliance because the projects can be expensive and time-consuming, Mihaly said. In many cases, however, stormwater retrofits are simply not feasible, Pomerleau said. In 2016, he ordered up a study to understand what the rules might cost him. It revealed something else, he said.

“If this doesn’t go right, all you’re going to see is a table full of attorneys, when what you want to see is a table full of engineers,” he said. The state’s draft list of properties includes commercial developments around Williston’s Taft Corners, the University of Vermont Medical Center, Norwich University and granite quarries around Rutland. Other property owners might be more surprised to be listed, including a small residential subdivision in Rutland; golf courses like the Burlington Country Club; and state-owned properties, like Birdseye Wildlife Management Area outside Poultney and Little River State Park in Waterbury. “I can’t see any hazards from our property in terms of pollution or chemicals or anything along those lines,” said Ted Hoehn, owner of Windridge Tennis & Sports Camps, whose 146-acre Roxbury property is listed as having just over four acres of impervious surfaces. Hoehn said the camp has tennis courts, horseback riding facilities, pools and mountain-biking trails, but he’s heard nothing about the new rules.
“I was just trying to figure out how much this was going to cost me, then I realized that some of this is not fixable,” Pomerleau said. When building a new shopping center today, he said, he can easily incorporate the required stormwater controls by directing water toward green space designed to absorb and treat it. But retrofitting an existing retail center, especially in downtowns or other heavily developed areas, may mean ripping up parking spaces to install new underground treatment systems. “Am I going to close down a major business for four months?” he said. “It ain’t going to happen.” Instead of requiring individual property owners to design, permit and install their own systems, a more efficient solution may be to partner with a municipality to channel stormwater from multiple sites to a larger treatment area. That’s what Pomerleau is hoping to do with an older shopping center he owns just north of St. Albans’ downtown. The city is open to the idea because it already is considering developing a large
gravel wetland project to address its own stormwater discharge issues, said Chip Sawyer, director of planning and development for the city. “If we could find a way that this treatment facility would take on some of the obligations of the three-acre sites, then perhaps we could form some kind of public-private partnership that just solves the problems for everybody,” Sawyer said. That’s what the Pinnacle at Spear project pulled off. South Burlington’s stormwater district designed and managed the project, partnered with the homeowners association, got some grant funding, and split the remaining costs between the city and homeowners, who are paying about $1,500 per home. The city wasn’t required to take responsibility for the neighborhood’s water woes, but it was probably the best way to make sure the work got done right, DiPietro said. DiPietro predicted that “some folks are going to rage against this new rule,” but he hopes that collaboration, not fingerpointing, carries the day. The law has significant flexibility built in to ensure that if a property owner has no technically feasible way to accomplish the work, there are financial options, explained Monks. For example, property owners can pay offset fees of $25,000 per acre of impervious surface if they have no way of correcting their stormwater issues. The funds will be used to reduce stormwater pollution elsewhere. But it’s not going to be as easy as just writing a fat check to the state. “You need to do as much as you can on your site, and if you can’t do it, then you pay fees,” Monk said. Pomerleau worries that owners of properties where improvements are not financially or physically feasible will be barred from pursuing collaborative, commonsense solutions. The Conservation Law Foundation’s Mihaly says the law is flexible enough to help property owners find creative solutions that lower the cost of phosphorus removal work. But the added complexity of such programs and the fact that some questions have yet to be answered shouldn’t be used to justify further delay, she said. “The state has done its best to create flexibility in the rules. Now it’s time to start implementing them,” she said. To view the state’s draft list of affected properties, visit sevendaysvt.com. Contact: kevin@sevendaysvt.com

At a Democratic presidential debate in Miami last Thursday, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) suggested that Seven Days had mischaracterized comments he made during a 2013 interview. “Sen. Sanders, a Vermont newspaper recently released portions of an interview you gave in 2013 in which you said, ‘My own view on guns is: Everything being equal, states should make those decisions,’” MSNBC host Rachel Maddow said. “No,” Sanders said, interrupting her. “Has your thinking changed since then?” Maddow continued. “Do you now think there’s a federal role to play?” “No, that’s a mischaracterization of my thinking,” Sanders said. “It’s a quote of you,” Maddow responded, prompting laughter from the audience. The quotation came from a March 6, 2013, interview that Seven Days conducted with Sanders in his Capitol Hill office. It was the first time the senator had agreed to speak to the newspaper in the nearly three months since a mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. At the time, Sanders was weighing whether to support federal gun-control measures proposed by then-president Barack Obama and vice president Joe Biden. Later in the interview, Sanders said, “If you passed the strongest gun-control legislation tomorrow, I don’t think it will have a profound effect on the tragedies we have seen, which are really tragedy.”
Seven Days included portions of the interview in a March 13, 2013, political column but did not publish the quotation Maddow read at the debate until last week. That was featured in a cover story documenting Sanders’ complicated relationship with the National Rifle Association and the evolution of his position on gun rights during his decades in public office. The online version of the story included audio of the interview. At last Thursday’s debate, Sanders answered Maddow’s question by referring to his failed 1988 campaign for Vermont’s sole seat in the U.S. House. “Look, we have a gun crisis right now; 40,000 people a year are getting killed,” Sanders began. “In 1988, Rachel, when it wasn’t popular, I ran on a platform of banning assault weapons and, in fact, lost that race for Congress.” Sanders made similar claims during his 2016 presidential campaign. Though Sanders spoke frequently about his support for an assault weapons ban during his successful 1990 campaign for the House, there’s little evidence that the issue played a major role in his 1988 loss. Some newspaper stories suggest that Sanders was, in fact, more supportive of gun rights at the time than he now maintains. “It’s a local control issue,” the Burlington Free Press quoted him as saying in an October 26, 1988, story. “In Vermont, it is not my view that the present law needs any changing.” Nearly two years later, the Rutland Herald wrote in a June 16, 1990, story, “In the last congressional campaign, Sanders said repeatedly that gun control was a local issue and avoided taking a public stand on bans. He now denies that his support of assault gun legislation represents a change in his position.” During last Thursday’s debate, Sanders noted that he now has a D-minus rating from the NRA. m

It isn’t all sparring, though, between the neighboring cities. Recently they collaborated on a regional dispatch system, for example. The two city councils have also passed resolutions to enter a contract, along with Winooski, for an electric bicycle rental and docking station program. And they’ve lobbied jointly for the legislature to protect and expand the tax-increment financing system that has helped both cities aid major downtown projects. Most surprising to some: The two cities’ public schools have begun to collaborate on a high school football program. A dwindling number of players at each school triggered the union.
keen on connecting. They were friends right away.” Carney was initially more worried about parents and adults in the stands, but they, too, came together, he said. The next competitive proving ground could be the Burlington Development Review Board. That’s where Burton must win approval for a proposal to redevelop its campus to include a large space for nightclub Higher Ground. Emery has vowed to contest the project. Burton has not filed an application yet and expects design and permitting to take
BURLINGTON AND SOUTH BURLINGTON HAVE BEEN AT ODDS AS FAR BACK AS 1865, WHEN THEY SPLIT WHAT HAD BEEN ONE LARGE TOWN. South Burlington has added a significant number of affordable units and deserves to be recognized for that, Clavelle said. Most memorably, the cities have feuded over the Burlington International Airport, which sprouted in a farmer’s field a century ago. In 2012, South Burlington dramatically increased the airport’s tax assessment. A four-year court battle ensued, and the two cities ultimately agreed to a compromise settlement in 2016 under which the property’s valuation was dropped from $77 million to $52 million. A home demolition program has created even more tension. Since the 1990s, more than 140 homes near the airport have been destroyed using Federal Aviation Administration noise mitigation funds at the direction of Burlington officials. Now F-35 jets — louder even than the F-16s they are replacing — are set to arrive this fall at the Vermont Air National Guard base at BTV. The military jets have the blessing of Mayor Weinberger, who supports the basing even in the face of opposition from both the Burlington and South Burlington city councils. There has been a push to find common ground. Two years ago, South Burlington City Councilor Tom Chittenden led a failed effort to make the airport a regional government entity. Burlington should not have rights to control the airspace over Chittenden County just because the city bought a cornfield 100 years ago, Chittenden said. “It’s like if they were deciding how Lake Champlain was used for the entire region,” Chittenden said. “The lake, as well as the airspace, is a public good.”

litigation between the cities. And in the not-so-distant past, Burlington officials were quick to challenge the University Mall build-out in SoBu, fearing economic competition. The cities have been at odds as far back as 1865, when they split what had been one large town. Residents in the center of Burlington, then known as a village, wanted to overhaul the village waterworks following outbreaks of typhoid fever, writer Barry Salussolia noted in a 1986 Vermont History article. Business leaders also believed they could better grow lumber and manufacturing industries with a mayor and aldermen, as opposed to the town meeting model of governing that they believed was slow and ineffective. Not surprisingly, residents in the rural areas did not want to pay taxes for water lines that would not extend to them and fire service that wouldn’t reach their farther-flung farms. So with the blessing of the Vermont legislature, residents opted to divide the town. Today, the cities in some ways could not be more different. Burlington, with 42,239 people, has managed to turn its historic downtown into a major tourist draw with the pedestrian-only Church Street Marketplace and preserved historic buildings including city hall, decorated by marble Corinthian pilasters and a golden cupola. It’s not all grand, though. Potholes and parking are constant sources of complaint, and unpleasant aromas from the city’s main sewer treatment plant sometimes distract from the stunning lake views. SoBu still retains some rural areas but has largely evolved into a suburb of 19,000. The city takes pride in its public schools but has shown less ambition when it comes to architecture and design. Strip malls clutter its thoroughfares, and city hall could be mistaken for a dentist’s office. For years, the University Mall, with its football fields of parking, was the closest South Burlington came to having a downtown. No longer content to be faceless, South Burlington is now building its own city center, a multimillion dollar project east of Dorset Street. Burlington, meanwhile, is worriedly gazing at the “hole,” an empty lot where the stalled CityPlace project’s condos, offices and shops are meant to revitalize the site formerly occupied by the Burlington Town Center mall. Competition for commerce has been a major flash point between the two cities for at least 40 years. “There were times when we didn’t feel like we had a seat at the table,”
former Burlington mayor Peter Clavelle recalled. “Most significantly, I’m thinking of the expansion of University Mall, which directly competed with downtown Burlington.” Burlington attempted unsuccessfully to block the steady expansion of the U-Mall in Act 250 proceedings in the mid-1980s, Clavelle recalled. The Queen City argued that the shopping center constituted commercial suburban sprawl and also insisted that South Burlington should help shoulder the need for affordable housing in the region if it were to bring in more low-paid retail workers to staff its retail stores. That argument didn’t really fly in the permitting process. But in recent years,
The athletic rivalry had been ugly at times. In 2006, South Burlington student fans chanted “welfare, welfare” and “food stamps” as their Rebels took on Burlington’s Seahorses in a varsity basketball game. Nevertheless, the high schools debuted a joint varsity football team last fall. South Burlington High School has traded the Rebels moniker for the Wolves; the combined team is called the SeaWolves. It’s worked well, said head co-coach Brennan Carney, a history teacher at Burlington High School. “They were a team,” he said. “One united SeaWolves team, which was awesome to see.” Some of the old rivalries dissipated, he said: “The kids were very
six to 12 months. If approved, construction and remodeling could go 18 to 24 months beyond that, according to Justin Worthley, Burton’s senior vice president of global human relations. Helen Riehle, chair of the South Burlington City Council, said communication between the two cities over the airport has improved. Now she’s hoping that there can be more discussion about traffic, noise and nighttime wanderings into Red Rocks Park before the Higher Ground venue is approved. The bottom line? “People just really want to be heard,” she said. Contact: molly@sevendaysvt.com

Holly Sorenson Buck
DECEMBER 21, 1955-JUNE 24, 2019 WATERBURY CENTER, VT. Holly Sorenson Buck walked into Rich Wollensak’s Waterbury, Vt., dental office, told him of her hygienist experience, noted that they had 5-year olds in school together, and basically said: “I want to work here, and you need to hire me.” That was 1995, and so blossomed a wonderful relationship, both professionally and as families, which sadly ended June 24, when Holly died of ocular cancer at her Waterbury Center home. She was 63. Born in Forest City, Iowa, on December 21, 1955, she was the fourth of five children from Morris and Wilma (Houston) Sorenson. Upon moving to Maine, they reestablished farming in Newport, then Norridgewock. As a smiling little blond youngster, Holly sold vegetables from a roadside wagon her father built, and she loved animals, especially horses. She learned to leap onto the back of her horse, Inky, then race bareback through the fields! Her father said she became his best farmhand, taking charge of their 45,000 chickens. She graduated from Skowhegan High School in 1974, the Maine School of Practical Nursing as a licensed practical nurse (LPN) in 1977 and the University of Vermont as a dental hygienist in 1990, this time as a single mother of three. A week before graduation, Holly married Rob Buck, and that fall their son Christian was born. They settled into South Hero, Vt., then in 1994 moved
to Waterbury Center, to their house on the hill she loved and honed, making stone walks and walls, and helping their family friend Cal, who could build anything. Flowers adorned the property, as did a garden that would feed them throughout a winter. She raised sheep, pigs and chickens, and it was a real sport watching Holly wrestle a lamb back behind the fence! She even leashed her sheep, taking them for walks. Holly enjoyed outdoor sports and the violin, and she volunteered for the Waterbury Ambulance and the Tooth Tutor program. She loved traveling the world but cherished returning to Maine’s wild coast. She said in her high school yearbook: “There are many philosophies of Life … has anyone thought of just Living it.” She did. Her modest demeanor did not seek the grandiose, but instead a job well done, and along the way she gave so much to so many. Holly was straightforward and told it like it was; she shared sage advice, kindness, grace and humor, and she exuded confidence. Shy of the limelight, she just couldn’t hide her endearing person — nor her infectious laugh. Even if you didn’t see her, you knew she and her good spirit were near. Most difficult was how to explain things to her 3-and-ahalf-year-old granddaughter: “Abbie, you know I’m really sick.” “Unh huh.” “Well, it’s going to make me go away, and I won’t be back.” “Where are you going?” “I really don’t know, but if you see a wild horse running through the fields, it’s probably me.” Holly was predeceased by her parents and a niece. Also Moe the cat, Sugar the dog and numerous others from years past, including Inky the horse; all of her sheep, pigs and chickens, whose names were poorly recorded; and as many squirrels as possible, because they ate last year’s pear crop the day before they were to be picked, and Holly was really ripped! She is survived by her husband, Rob Buck; daughter Heather Calhoun of Tucson, Ariz.; sons Aaron Sorensen of Montpelier, Todd Healy
of Fairfield, Maine, and Christian Buck of Waterbury Center; Bonnie Sorenson of Manchester, Mass.; Becky Vigneault of Winthrop, Maine; Edmund Sorenson of Meriden, Conn.; Dana Sorenson of Layton, Utah; three grandchildren; and two nephews. In lieu of flowers, donations would be appreciated for the Waterbury Ambulance Service, P.O. Box 95, Waterbury Center, VT 05677; Central Vermont Home Health and Hospice, 600 Granger Rd., Barre, VT 05641 (cvhhh.org); or Central Vermont Medical Center’s Cancer Center Patient Fund, P.O. Box 547, Barre, VT 05641. Assisting the family is the Perkins-Parker Funeral Home and Cremation Service in Waterbury. To send online condolences and read a more complete obituary, please visit perkinsparker.com or the funeral home Facebook page. A formal celebration of Holly’s life will take place July 21, 2019, at the Blush Hill Country Club in Waterbury, Vt., from 1 to 4 p.m. An RSVP to moe1990@aol.com would be appreciated.

Allen Martin 1937-2019
Allen Martin, age 81, died peacefully surrounded by the enduring love of his wife, Bonnie, on June 19, 2019, in Windsor, Vt., after a long, distinguished and productive life. Allen was born in Manchester, Conn., on August 12, 1937, the eldest child of Richard Martin and Ruth Palmer Smith Martin, both of whom predeceased him. Allen’s ancestors moved to Williamstown, Vt., in the
late 18th century, at about the time that Vermont was admitted to the Union, and his great-great grandfather, also named Allen Martin, was born in Williamstown in 1798. Allen’s grandfather, also named Allen Martin, was born in Williamstown in 1875 and practiced law for many years in Essex Junction, Vt. Allen graduated from Mount Hermon School in 1956, and he received a BA degree, cum laude, from Williams College in 1960. At Williams, Allen lettered in both football and lacrosse and was president of the College Council during his senior year. Upon graduating from Williams, Allen received a scholarship to attend Oxford University in Oxford, England. He graduated from Oxford in 1962 with a first-class honors degree in philosophy, politics and economics. While at Oxford, Allen played on the Oxford University lacrosse team that beat Cambridge 8-4 in 1961. After graduating from Oxford, Allen entered Harvard Law School, earning an LL.B, cum laude, in 1965. While at Harvard Law School, Allen served on the Harvard Law Review for two years and was the articles editor of the Review during his final year. Upon graduating, Allen moved to St. Johnsbury, Vt., and began a yearlong clerkship with the Honorable Sterry R. Waterman, then a judge on the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, located in New York City. Allen then practiced law at Foley Hoag and Eliot in Boston for several years. Allen returned to St. Johnsbury in 1969 to join a small, two-person St. Johnsbury law firm, which eventually became Downs Rachlin Martin, now the largest law firm in Vermont with more than 70 attorneys and legal professionals, with offices in Burlington, Montpelier, Brattleboro and St. Johnsbury, as well as Lebanon, N.H. Allen moved his law practice to the firm’s Burlington office in 1980 and practiced law with Downs Rachlin Martin for 33 years before retiring at the end of 2002. During that time, he specialized in public utility law, mergers and acquisitions law and, eventually, health care law. Upon his retirement, Allen moved to Six Chimneys in Orford, N.H., where he and his wife, Bonnie, shared many happy times with family and friends during his retirement years. Allen served as vice chair of the Vermont Judicial
Responsibility Board from 1978 to 1980, a position to which he was appointed by the Vermont Supreme Court. In 1978, Allen was appointed to the Vermont Board of Education by governor Richard Snelling. Allen was then elected to serve as chair of the Vermont Board of Education and served in that capacity from 1978 to 1983. Over the years, Allen served on the boards of several Vermont corporations, including WICOR Americas, Inc., the leading manufacturer in North and South America of insulation systems for electric power transformers; IDX Systems Corporation; Mountain Cable Communications Corporation; Union Mutual Insurance Company; and New England Guaranty Corporation. Allen also served as a trustee at Vermont Law School for four years and as a director of the Vermont Film Commission during the 1990s. In 1991, Allen was elected chair of the Vermont Republican Party and served as chair until 1995. He also served as Vermont’s Republican Party National Committeeman from 1991 until 1996, and again from 1997 until 1999. He is survived by his beloved wife of 40 years, Bonnie Reid Martin, of Hanover, N.H.; his son, Samuel Bates Martin, and his wife, Drayton, of Manchester-by-the-Sea, Mass., and their children, Allen and Peter; his sister, Katherine Martin Widmer, of Somerville, Mass.; his grandson Patrick Bowe of Pelham, N.Y.; his brother-in-law, Claudio Marzollo, of Cold Spring, N.Y.; and his nephews Rick Widmer and Daniel and David Marzollo. He was predeceased by his daughter, Elizabeth Martin Bowe, of New Rochelle, N.Y., and his sister, Jean Marzollo of Cold Spring, N.Y. A memorial service and celebration of a life well lived will be held at the North Congregational Church in St. Johnsbury, Vt., on July 21, 2019, at 2:30 p.m., with a private burial to occur at a later date. He was a tremendously kind, generous, smart, caring, curious and fun-loving man, and his light will live on forever in the hearts of all who loved him. In lieu of flowers, to any so inclined, it would please Allen so very much if contributions were made to the MartinWilson Fellowship Fund at Williams College, in support of Williams students attending Worcester College, Oxford University, in the care of the Office of Planned Giving, 75 Park St., Williamstown, MA 02167.

FAIR GAME
OPEN SEASON ON VERMONT POLITICS BY JOHN WALTERS
Leahy, Welch Split on Border Funding Bill
S
en. PATRICK LEAHY (D-Vt.) is defending his role in crafting a bill that sparked deep divisions among congressional Democrats. In fact, it prompted Rep. PETER WELCH (D-Vt.) to take the rare step of voting against a Leahy-backed measure. The bill, which provides funding to ease the humanitarian crisis at the southern border, passed the Senate last Thursday by a vote of 84-8. Those not voting included Sen. BERNIE SANDERS (I-Vt.) and the six other senators running for president; they were in Miami for the Democratic debates. “It was the best we could do,” Leahy said in an interview Saturday, speaking of the $4.6 billion measure. As the ranking Democrat on the Senate Appropriations Committee, Leahy worked with committee chair Sen. RICHARD SHELBY (R-Ala.) to craft a bill acceptable to majority Republicans. Senate Majority Leader MITCH MCCONNELL (R-Ky.) had labeled the Senate bill as “the only game in town.” On Friday, the House approved the bill on a 305-102 vote: Virtually all Republicans voted yes, along with 95 members of the Democratic majority. (President DONALD TRUMP signed the bill on Monday.) After the vote, the Congressional Progressive Caucus blamed Speaker NANCY PELOSI (D-Calif.) for failing to keep Democrats together in support of a tougher bill. Earlier in the week, the House Appropriations Committee had approved a measure including new requirements for the care of undocumented immigrant children, restrictions on detainee shelters and a guarantee of certain services, including translators. Pelosi shelved the bill after the Senate’s lopsided vote. “I don’t think [House dissenters] realize how much protection we put in the bill,” Leahy said. “Requiring standards that were not there before. Requiring time limits [for holding people in custody] and staff who are properly trained.” Leahy noted that he would have preferred the House version and promised to fight for more protections. His stance could cause some blowback on the home front. On Tuesday, the Peace & Justice Center and the Women’s March Vermont held Close the Camps rallies outside Sanders’ and Leahy’s Burlington offices. Welch, who frequently makes common cause with House moderates, did not do so this time. His vote against the Senate bill, he said, stemmed from his June 2018 visit to the border, when he saw “children in cages in windowless warehouses. It was 20

Sen. Patrick Leahy
appalling … Recent reports indicate that it’s gotten worse.” Still, he said he understood Leahy’s position. “It’s the art of the possible,” Welch said. “Patrick did an incredible job getting the amount of humanitarian relief he did. In the House we had the votes to pass tougher standards, but the Senate is controlled by Mitch McConnell.” Leahy and Welch agreed on one thing: They don’t trust Trump. “I’ve served under eight presidents,” said Leahy. “They might disagree with you, but they follow the law. Trump is the first president who ignores the law.” Even so, they asserted, enacting standards is worthwhile. “If we get a law and Trump ignores it, we have the ability to go to court to enforce the law,” said Welch. Which seems like cold comfort, given continuing reports of deplorable conditions at the border and this week’s news of a secret Facebook group of current and former U.S. Border Patrol agents that’s awash in racist and sexist material. Welch and Leahy are staunch defenders of the legislative process. That’s a noble sentiment. But in the age of Trump, that process seems rather quaint.
A Dearth of Vetoes
Gov. PHIL SCOTT has now had his say on every measure passed by the Vermont House and Senate this year. He chose to veto only two bills: one that would have established a 24-hour waiting period for handgun purchases, and another that
Rep. Peter Welch
would have required polluters to pay medical-monitoring expenses for those who may have been exposed to toxics. It’s a marked decline from his 2018 total of 11 vetoes, which tied Vermont’s alltime record set in 1994 by then-governor HOWARD DEAN. Does this reflect a thaw in executive-legislative relations? “The governor came into the session with a consistent approach that he carried throughout the session,” said REBECCA KELLEY, Scott’s spokesperson. “I definitely think the governor altered his approach and tone [this year], and we absolutely feel the goodwill was reciprocated.” Senate Majority Leader BECCA BALINT (D-Windham) agreed. “We felt we had much more communication with the administration,” she said. “In the past, we were feeling around in the dark. Very big difference.” Hugs all around, then? Not quite. House Majority Leader JILL KROWINSKI (D-Burlington) noticed a much more collaborative approach through most of the session — but an administration pullback as the end grew near. When lawmakers were working out the details of key bills, she said, “We weren’t getting clear signals on what would be acceptable.” In any case, the veto number is a bit misleading. Three major proposals that could have faced vetoes — a minimum wage increase, a paid family leave program and a state-regulated cannabis marketplace — fell short of final passage.
There’s no doubt that executive-legislative relations were better this year. But 2020 is campaign season, and Scott may draw firmer lines in the sand. Last week, VTDigger.org reported that Scott has ordered his top officials to plan for significant budget cuts over the next five years, due to an administration projection that spending may outpace revenue by $255 million in 2025. That could signal a return to the budget battles that characterized the governor’s first term. For its part, the Democratic majority may be more inclined to force uncomfortable choices on Scott. At the very least, he’s likely to face those three bills that died in the Statehouse this year. “I’m looking forward to the next session, passing those bills and getting them to his desk,” said Balint.

Small Change
The first milestone of Vermont’s election season passed quietly Monday night — the initial campaign finance deadline of the two-year cycle. There were no bombshells. No one filed as a candidate for governor save the incumbent. But there were some noteworthy figures. Two potential gubernatorial candidates enter the cycle with healthy surpluses from previous campaigns. Scott has $106,000 in cash on hand. He reported another $16,000, thanks to a “reimbursement for

assisted-communication device, Osborne uses an eyegaze board, which looks like a large picture frame, that St. Pierre, his mother or an assistant holds in front of their face. The letters of the alphabet are lined up around its edge, and Osborne spells by looking at each letter in turn, communicating his intent in as few words as possible. When the interpreter guesses the right letter, Osborne smiles. When the letter is wrong, he furrows his brow. Talking this way can be like putting together a puzzle. But when you collect the pieces, Osborne is an absolute fount of information about the pipe organ. The walls of his apartment are lined with CDs — about 300 of them, as far as anyone can guess.

A
s CHRIS OSBORNE kicks off his 199th radio show on 92.5 WWPV-FM, the temperature outside is 80 degrees. So it’s fitting that the first piece of music he plays is what his assistant, ANTHONY ST. PIERRE, calls “sunny day music.” This particular piece is the prelude to Marc-Antoine Charpentier’s Te Deum, a 17th-century composition, transcribed for a trumpet and a pipe organ. Osborne has dedicated his weekly show to the latter instrument — the behemoth collection of wood or metal pipes, keyboards, pedalboards, and other controls that make up a pipe organ. Hence the show’s name, “The King of Instruments.” After Te Deum, St. Pierre fades the music on the soundboard and switches on the mic so Osborne can introduce the show. The DJ maneuvers a joystick on his wheelchair to click a button on the screen that faces him and is affixed to his chair. A computerized voice greets listeners with “I’m your radio host, the Chris Meister” and welcomes them to another magnificent hour with “The King of Instruments” on the Saint Michael’s College radio station. Osborne, 33, is no ordinary student or community member spinning tunes in his spare time. He has cerebral palsy and is unable to speak. He communicates through his computer, building playlists and typing commentary with his joystick. On July 4, Osborne will host his 200th show. “I want to share joy through the organ music,” Osborne says, answering questions for this interview mostly through his computer. But despite limited verbal options, he controls every aspect of his show. Through facial gestures and sounds, Osborne reminds St. Pierre to log every piece of music in the station’s online database, keep an eye on the time and adjust the volume levels. He gives St. Pierre a look when 22

the latter accidentally types the wrong album name into the system. Osborne originally started his show through family and friend connections to a St. Mike’s employee about four years ago, although nobody quite remembers who first had the idea for it. Osborne has choreoathetoid cerebral palsy, which causes involuntary movements, especially in his limbs, head and face and affects his ability to speak and swallow. People with CP often retain the “startle reflex” and other reflexes that everyone has as a baby, which heightens their reactions to stimuli. “I have assistants who help me do the things I want to do or have to do,” Osborne explains. When he doesn’t have time to type into his
when it comes to finding rare or out-of-print recordings. His favorite composers are German — Bach, Handel, Beethoven — but he also has favorite modern organists. Then there are the instruments themselves, each one different. Osborne normally favors English cathedral organs, but when Paris’ Notre Dame Cathedral burned in April, he sought out recordings of performances made there. Some internet-gleaned trivia for those unfamiliar with the scale of a pipe organ: The Notre Dame instrument, which survived the fire with only minor damage, has almost 8,000 pipes. The largest functional organ in the world, in Philadelphia, has more than 28,000 pipes and weighs 287 tons. “I love the sound of the pipe organ,” Osborne says. “I learned it from my mom.” NANCY OSBORNE, who began playing the pipe organ at 15, was a professional church musician for decades. Of her four children, only Chris shares her passion for the instrument. At home in his South Burlington apartment a few days before his show, Osborne spells out “Awak,” and Nancy guesses before he even gets to the next letter: Awake the Trumpet’s Lofty Sound, a chorus Handel composed for his oratorio Samson in 1741. Osborne loves an album of trumpet and organ music of which that chorus is the title track. “Year born,” he writes. That is, the CD came out in 1986, the year he was born. Later, Osborne pulls up a video that shows a simple analysis of Bach’s Fugue in G minor as it’s played on a pipe organ. Nancy watches over his shoulder as colored tracks light up, showing which keys and pedals are being played. Think Guitar Hero with a lot more music theory. Nancy hums along and notes when different voices join in on the melody. She and her son both grin as the piece switches keys to end on a major chord. Called a Picardy third, it’s considered a happy way to end a section of music. CP is a part of Osborne’s everyday life, and for the most part it doesn’t seem to bother him. He’d rather talk about the pipe organ or one of his other loves, such as movies, “The Simpsons” and ocean vessels such as the Titanic. “We don’t call you disabled, right?” Nancy asks him. RADIO DJ

VERMONT ARTS COUNCIL SOLICITS ART PHOTOS FROM EVERY SINGLE TOWN
N
atural beauty abounds in Vermont, but the state has its fair share of human-made artistic contributions, too. Public art can be found in every nook and cranny, whether in the form of murals and sculptures or musical and theatrical performances. Over the next few months, the VERMONT ARTS COUNCIL is asking for help documenting this arty goodness. The Montpelier-based nonprofit is inviting Vermont residents and visitors to send in photos of public art from around the state so that, by the time winter arrives, it will have at least one image from each of Vermont’s 251 towns. The campaign borrows the concept of the 251 CLUB OF VERMONT, an informal organization of “Vermont enthusiasts” who aim to visit every town (and gore!) in the state. It also illustrates a core tenet of the council: In the Green Mountain State, culture is everywhere. “We have always said, no matter where you are in Vermont, if you turn around you can probably find an arts event, an activity or a structure,” said VAC communications director KIRA BACON. The images the council amasses will serve as visual representations of this omnipresent creativity, she added. And she hopes the project will encourage participants to keep their eyes open for art in their own communities, as well as those they visit. “As I’m driving through places, as I go through all these little Vermont towns, I think, Is there a gallery? An arts center? Piece of public art? Concert?” Bacon said. “Hopefully, everyone will do that.” Participants can submit pics to the council via email or post on social media using the hashtag #VTArts251. The council will post submissions on its social media accounts, on its website and in a biweekly newsletter. And if the VAC falls short of its goal to hit every town? Bacon doesn’t plan to let that happen — “even if I spend two days traveling the state,” she vowed.

Figuratively speaking, Simon-Israel elaborates, the change entails offering moviegoers a better cinematic experience while increasing the event’s visibility in the community. The four-film series opens on Wednesday, July 10, with the Vermont premiere of Reaching for Zion, a documentary that examines the shared beliefs of Rastafari and Judaism. The film follows the spiritual journey of Donisha Prendergast, the granddaughter of reggae legend Bob Marley, as she travels from Jamaica to Israel to explore the Judaic roots of the Rastafarian religion. A Q&A with director Irene Angelico and her husband, Abbey Neidik, who coproduced the film and served as cinematographer, follows the screening.

While the film strives to universalize the concept of Zion for people across the global diaspora, Angelico anticipates that it could be controversial in some quarters. “I’m expecting a lot of fallout from it, because there’s so much anti-Zionism, but the film itself has a light touch in terms of the politics,” she says. “It’s talking about the idea of Zion and home in terms of music, in terms of a yearning, in terms of people being persecuted and exiled and needing to come home.” The fest continues on July 24 with Sammy Davis, Jr.: I’ve Gotta Be Me, a

the vaudeville stage to his fame as a member of the Frank Sinatra-led Rat Pack and his controversial friendship with president Richard Nixon. A different form of presidential controversy is featured in the festival’s July 31 offering, Joseph Pulitzer: Voice of the People, a profile of the Hungarian Jewish immigrant whose surname is attached to the most prestigious prize in American journalism. In 1908, president Teddy Roosevelt accused the newspaperman of criminal libel for a story about alleged corruption surrounding a $40 million payment for the construction of the Panama Canal. Following a lengthy legal battle, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in favor of Pulitzer, establishing a key precedent for freedom of the press. “Ironically, we became more excited about bringing this film to the festival the more that the issue of fake news and making the media the villain became part of our everyday news cycle,” Simon-Israel says. “This film talks about fake news in an entirely different period of our history, and it’s really interesting.” The festival’s closing event, on August 7, is the Vermont premiere of Chewdaism: A Taste of Jewish Montréal. The doc traces the history of the city’s Jewish community through a marathon day of heavy noshing at six Jewish eateries. It was codirected by and features Montréal natives Jamie Elman and Eli Batalion, the

Chewdaism: A Taste of Jewish Montréal
Though Chewdaism has a lighthearted tone, it doesn’t shy away from addressing more serious cultural and culinary differences among the city’s Sephardi, Ashkenazi and Hasidic Jews. With Elman and Batalion’s witty banter front and center, the film in many ways serves as a documentary extension of “YidLife Crisis,” which uses irreverent humor to celebrate diversity and promote inclusivity. “We consider ourselves Canadian comedy peacekeepers, and we export our comedy and our foods and our peace,” Elman says, “and we make fun of ourselves in the hope that we can make light of touchier subjects of religion and spirituality.” For Simon-Israel, the festival’s varied program fills a necessary gap in the summer-movie options available to residents and vacationers in the greater Stowe area. “To me, that’s one of the most gratifying things about running this, that we’re able to bring things to our community that otherwise would not come [here],” she says. “We feel like we’re really adding to the cultural fabric of the town with this festival.” m Contact: baynes@sevendaysvt.com

CLASSICAL MUSIC Their program ranged from two “Romances for Oboe and Piano,” composed by Robert Schumann for his wife, Clara, in 1849; to a 2004 sonata for bassoon and piano by Nancy Galbraith. Lili Boulanger ’s “Trois morceaux pour piano,” from 1914, seemed as exquisite and fleeting as her life. (The first female Prix de Rome composition winner at 19, Nadia Boulanger’s younger sister died at 24.) C Y N T HI A The musicians briefly introduced each piece. Elliott told the audience to listen for the waves in her Australian friend Padma Newsome’s piece “To Bastion Point.” “We’re always working to find ways to include the audience in the musical experience,” Huard said of the RCMS. An affiliate artist at Middlebury College who teaches private students at her studio in the MIDDLEBURY COMMUNITY MUSIC CENTER, she appears to have retained her drive to democratize classical music over 25 years of leading the summer series. Huard has two master’s degrees, in piano performance and early music, from Indiana University. She moved to Rochester in 1992 and was soon playing duets with Schenkman, a retired Juilliard School-trained violinist, at the Park House. At the suggestion of an audience member, the pair established a concert series that grew to include invited musicians from Schenkman’s musical circle. When Schenkman died in 2003, Huard continued to codirect with their friend Joan Hutton Landis, a poet who had taught humanities at the Curtis Institute of Music for 24 years. Landis continued Schenkman’s legacy by inviting accomplished former students to perform, including Kim. During this time, RCMS began running educational programs, including the GREEN MOUNTAIN SUZUKI INSTITUTE, a weeklong training residency for string musicians and their families, and outreach programs in local schools. Landis died in 2017. Huard has dedicated memorial concerts this season to each of her former co-artistic directors. Rochester resident LESLEY STRAUS, who
began helping the RCMS with its books in 2005, is now president and treasurer of the board. The “closet pianist” said she attends many similar events in Vermont, including the KILLINGTON MUSIC FESTIVAL, the

ochester is a quiet village of 1,171 residents perched on the eastern edge of the Green Mountain National Forest. Despite its relative isolation, it has hosted a high-quality summer weekend concert series for a quarter-century: the ROCHESTER CHAMBER MUSIC SOCIETY. While RCMC isn’t in the same category as the MARLBORO MUSIC FESTIVAL, its musicians have included regulars of that revered chamber musicians’ retreat. Violinist SOOVIN KIM made his 19th appearance in Rochester at the opening concert on June 8 with pianist GLORIA CHIEN. (The two are co-artistic directors of the LAKE CHAMPLAIN CHAMBER MUSIC FESTIVAL in Colchester and Burlington.) Members of the renowned Brentano and Borromeo string quartets have graced the RCMS, and Peter Stumpf, who was principal cellist of the Los Angeles Philharmonic for nine years, will play on July 19. Artistic director CYNTHIA HUARD, who cofounded the RCMS with Marguerite
Schenkman in 1994, has always made sure that the mix of musicians includes Vermonters and community members, too. The aim of the small-town series is to make classical music accessible and enjoyable to all, she said. Concerts are free and followed by snack-filled receptions. And every year at the Bach Bash, a popular tradition established 21 years ago, community members assemble with a few professionals to rehearse and perform a concert in a single day. On Sunday, Seven Days attended the third of RCMS’ eight concerts. (The season continues through August 11.) On the low altar of the intimately scaled Rochester Federated Church was HELIAND CONSORT, a chamber group led by Huard, who lives in Bristol. Flanking the pianist were oboist KATIE OPREA and bassoonist RACHAEL ELLIOTT, both principals of the BURLINGTON CHAMBER ORCHESTRA and substitutes with the VERMONT SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA. An appreciative audience filled the pews, including Elliott’s and Oprea’s children in the front row.

You’re not removed from the musicians; the instruments are close. It’s a treasure. It’s chamber music as it’s meant to be.” As an example of that intimacy, Straus cited the concerts of baroque music on period instruments, one of which Huard leads every year: They’re generally played on the church floor, and the audience surrounds the musicians. Like the CRAFTSBURY CHAMBER PLAYERS, a summer chamber series based in the Northeast Kingdom, the RCMS houses visiting musicians locally. “We [the board] all offer house space. They essentially move in,” Straus said with a laugh. (The CCP’s principal violinist, MARY ROWELL, will play in RCMS’ July 7 concert.) After an intermission that most of the audience spent basking in the summer sunshine and mountain air, the concert’s second half opened with Huard, Oprea and Elliott singing a simple song a cappella. At their urging, the audience joined in after a few repetitions. Heliand Consort programs, Huard said, always include one song sung in the musicians’ untrained but in-tune voices. The effect — like that of the RCMS experience itself — is to remind us that music unites us all.

WHISKEY TANGO FOXTROT BY KEN PICARD
Why Can’t We Redeem the Deposits Listed on All Beverage Containers?
S
ummer’s arrival heralded the official start of outdoor drinking season, when many Vermonters grab a cold six-pack of their favorite craft beer, mead or hard cider. But buyers of boozy beverages may discover that the deposits they pay at the register for those recyclable cans or bottles don’t equal what they get back from the retailer or redemption center when they return the empties. In fact, one reader wrote in recently to ask why he gets back 5 cents apiece on his empty beer cans and bottles but bupkes for those used for cider and mead. And yet, that same Vermont-made cider or mead container, which can’t be redeemed in the Green Mountain State, is returnable in Maine and Hawaii for a nickel. WTF? To make sense of such consumptionfueled confusion, we reached out to Rebecca Webber, an environmental analyst with the Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation and the administrative lead person on Vermont’s beverage container and redemption law, aka the bottle bill. As Webber explained, other states’ bottle redemption laws cover different beverages. The Vermont statute, first enacted in 1973 to reduce roadside litter and increase recycling, covers “beer or other malt beverages and mineral waters, mixed wine drink, soda water and carbonated soft drinks in liquid form and intended for human consumption.” In 1990, Vermont added liquor and spirits to the mix. However, Vermont’s bottle bill has never included hard cider, mead, or nonalcoholic beverages such as juice, milk and water. Other states have bottle bills that include additional beverages such as water, sports drinks, wine, mead and hard cider. If Vermont producers want to sell their products in those states, Webber explained, they have to comply with those states’ laws, which includes properly labeling their containers. Rather than use state-specific packaging, she noted, manufacturers label their containers with deposit information for each state where their product is covered by a bottle law. What about cans of Vermont-made hard cider that are imprinted with the 5-cent deposit symbol on top? According to Webber, Vermont retailers aren’t supposed to charge a deposit on those 26

beverages, as they’re not included in Vermont’s bottle bill and hence aren’t redeemable in this state. Does that mean you could buy hard cider in Vermont, where you pay no deposit, then drive to Maine and cash in your empties? Some readers may remember the two-part “Seinfeld” episode from 1996 in which two characters tried such a scheme. In that episode, aptly named “The Bottle Deposit,” Newman the postal worker plots with Kramer to drive a U.S. mail truck full of empties from New York to Michigan, where cans and bottles are redeemable for 10 cents apiece rather than New York’s 5 cents. Theoretically, such a moneymaking ploy is doable — assuming that, like Newman and Kramer, you’re willing to risk a criminal record for a mere pocketful of nickels. As Webber pointed out, deposits are redeemable only in the state where the beverage was purchased. Redeeming a container in Vermont that was purchased in New Hampshire, which has no bottle redemption program, is against the law because the consumer didn’t pay a deposit or handling fee at the time of purchase. (More on handling fees below.) Likewise, buying a hard cider in Vermont and bringing the container to Maine or Hawaii for redemption is fraud
under Maine and Hawaii law — and voyaging to the latter is also a preposterously long trip for a nickel. Now what’s all this about handling fees? Here’s where things get slightly more complicated. Under Vermont law, at the time of purchase, consumers pay a 5-cent deposit, plus a 3.5- to 4-cent handling fee. Charged at the discretion of the beverage manufacturer or distributor, that optional fee covers their cost for eventually recycling all of the spent glass and aluminum. The manufacturer/distributor charges the retailer who, in turn, passes along that cost to the consumer, who essentially pays 3.5 to 4 cents per container to ensure that it gets recycled. Estimates on the percentage of containers that actually get redeemed “vary widely,” Webber added. Because the state tracks only what comes back, not what is sold, there are no hard figures on Vermont’s bottle bill
recycling rate. However, a 2013 state report estimated Vermont’s return rate at 75 percent. And who gets the 8.5 to 9 cents when a container doesn’t get redeemed but ends up in a landfill or roadside ditch? For years the manufacturer/distributor kept that money — estimated at more than $2 million annually. However, thanks to S.285, a Vermont law passed last year that goes into effect in October, the handling fee will stay with the manufacturer/ distributor, but the remaining 5-cent deposit will go to Vermont’s Clean Water Fund. There, it’ll be used for water quality projects such as restoring riparian areas, improving stormwater infrastructure, and helping farmers keep their pesticides and cow poop out of Vermont’s waterways. In short, if you’re the lazy type who tosses your empties into the recycling bin or trash rather than running them back to the store, take some comfort in knowing that your 5-cent deposit is going to a worthy cause and that, in another sense, you’ve been redeemed. m Contact: ken@sevendaysvt.com

THE CARTOONISTS EMILY RHAIN ANDREWS
W
hen Seven Days ran its first Cartoon Issue in 2013, our staff endeavored to produce almost the entire newspaper in comic form — columns, album reviews, hardnews stories, features, you name it. It was, in a word, difficult. You see, writers wanna write. And we love words. If given our druthers, reporters would happily churn out several thousand of them on any topic, from milking cows to upstart semipro football teams to the history of a certain famous local politician’s stance on guns. And we often do. But telling stories with panels in place of paragraphs presents a unique narrative challenge. Cartoons are an inherently visual form of storytelling in which a picture is truly worth … well, you know. And so, in an effort to favor quality over quantity, over the last few years we’ve scaled back the scope of this theme, presenting a curated selection of features in cartoon form instead of the entire issue. Words matter, which perhaps no one understands better than the CIRCLE OF COURAGE, a local Abenaki group aiming to save its native language from extinction. Words are equally important to DEAR TOMORROW, a nonprofit that is trying to save the world from climate destruction one lovingly written letter at a time. Meanwhile, a local high school rock band, the PROFESSORS OF MYSTERY, seeks relief through chaos. Once upon a time, TRAVELING DRUGGISTS sold relief door-to-door. And last but not least, DIFFICULT DOGS come in all shapes and colors — though in this case, the latter is entirely up to you. We hope you enjoy these cartoons as much as we’ve enjoyed producing them.

t the newly opened Caledonia Spirits distillery in Montpelier, a quote is painted high on a sunflower-yellow wall above the glowing stainless and copper distilling equipment. “If not with ‘milk & honey,’” it reads, “certainly this land o’erflows with gin & whisky.” The line, from an 1811 Peacham newspaper, resonated deeply with Ryan Christiansen, Caledonia’s president and head distiller, when he read it several years ago. “It was just so real to us,” Christiansen, 34, said on a recent tour of the 27,000-squarefoot facility. “We’ve been waiting for the right spot to put it.” Caledonia Spirits was founded about a decade ago in the Northeast Kingdom. Founder Todd Hardie was driven by a desire to address issues that the 200-plusyear-old quote evokes today, though different from its original meaning. Back in 1811, that Peacham journalist

was not writing about challenges facing the state’s dairy sector, nor about honeybees, now seriously at risk due to industrial chemicals and destructive mites. The second part of the quote originally referenced the numerous small alcohol stills that abounded pre-Prohibition, not Vermont’s thriving contemporary craft distilling sector, of which Caledonia Spirits has become a leader. Hardie set out to popularize honeybased beverages to highlight the critical and threatened role of bees as pollinators in our food system. A lifelong beekeeper, he was also passionate about creating new forms of land-based businesses that would help support and preserve agricultural communities. The ability to invest $10 million in an expansive, stylish new facility in the state’s capital city is just one indication of the success Caledonia Spirits has achieved
so far. According to the Vermont Division of Liquor Control, the distillery’s flagship honey-based Barr Hill gin has been the top Vermont-made spirit for the last three years, based on in-state retail dollar sales. This is an especially notable accomplishment because gin rarely leads alcohol sales. Barr Hill Reserve Tom Cat, a barrel-aged gin, and Barr Hill vodka also consistently land in the top 10. Caledonia Spirits products are distributed in 32 states, Montréal, and a few other cocktail-culture hot spots around the country and world. Volume has tripled since 2015 to about 40,000 cases shipped annually, bringing in $5 million to $6 million in yearly revenue, Christiansen said. Saturday marked the public grand opening of the new distillery. It also celebrated the end of a four-year process since Christiansen resolved to bring the team

The new Montpelier headquarters of Caledonia Spirits was built on a reclaimed granite slag heap on the banks of the Winooski River, with significant infrastructure support from the city. It features a roof of solar panels and a water-recovery system that will result in lower water consumption than the Hardwick location, though it’s four times the size. In addition to becoming the sole production site for the company’s muchawarded line of spirits, the industrial-chic building hosts a retail store and a large bar with a window onto a riverside patio.

Bank Street location. “That particular stretch of Bank Street is sort of dominated by the exterior of the parking garage, and we thought that aesthetically it would be a nice addition to the street,” he said. Plus, he noted, it will allow the small restaurant to seat more customers outside. What about those lost parking spots? Street Seats will take up a mere five of the hundreds of spots in the city, Goulding assured, while maximizing sidewalk space. “The novelty of this is that we’re continuing to keep the sidewalk wide, robust and accessible to all,” he said. “It allows us to occupy a spot that might have had a car in it for a couple hours, open it up and make it accessible.”

Take a Seat BURLINGTON’S STREET SEATS PROGRAM PARKS DINERS OUTSIDE
The Burlington Department of Public Works is piloting a program that puts restaurant seating in an unusual place: converted parking spots. STREET SEATS transforms parking spaces in front of select BTV restaurants into outdoor seating, furnished with tables and chairs and separated from street traffic by boxlike enclosures. During business hours, restaurants use the areas, which take up no more than two parking spots each. At all other times, seating is open to the public. So far, Burlington’s EL CORTIJO TAQUERIA is the only restaurant that has installed Street Seats. The city has also approved the ARCHIVES and POCO for the
program, and DRIFTER’S participation is in the works. While the city subsidizes some of the construction fees, each restaurant oversees the installation and maintenance of its seating structure. The DPW will take feedback via a survey, accessed on each structure with a QR code, and email. Public response will determine whether the program continues past the pilot stage, which ends in October. “We think Street Seats are a visible, effective way to encourage people to come out and enjoy these awesome businesses and enjoy this space,” said ROBERT GOULDING, DPW spokesperson. “It’s summer in downtown Burlington. Where else would you rather be?” JED DAVIS, who owns El Cortijo, hired a contractor to build the structure outside his

compelling “Temperance Drinks,” sans alcohol), while nibbling on Vermont cheeses and cured meats. More substantial fare is also available from a rotating lineup of local food trucks. Guided tours through the facility explain the company’s mission and history and offer behind-the-scenes peeks through large windows into the processes of distilling, packaging and new product research. Sound familiar? It’s the Ben & Jerry’s tour of adult beverages. Or, as Christiansen put it, “Think of it like the cocktail creemee stand.” Part of the motivation to open the new distillery in a central location was to provide the Caledonia Spirits team, numbering about 40 employees at headquarters, with more direct customer contact. Alcohol is sold through several layers of distribution, Christiansen explained, adding, “It’s amazing how little we get to interact with our customers.” He joined Hardie at Caledonia Spirits in 2011 after selling his homebrew supply store in Plainfield. Christiansen grew up there, and his family still owns the local hardware store. In 2015, he purchased the distillery with business partner Minty Conant and other investment support. His mentor, Hardie, was shifting to producing grain for use in both distilling and baking. On his Thornhill Farm in Greensboro Bend, Hardie now grows the rye used in Caledonia Spirits’ forthcoming whiskey. “Todd wanted to be closer to the farm,” Christiansen explained. Looking both back and ahead, Hardie said he takes great satisfaction in the trajectory of Caledonia Spirits. “What’s so special about what’s unfolding in Montpelier: It’s a continuum,” he said in a recent phone interview. “We started with a honey-based mead winery and then started adding honey to gin and making vodka from scratch from honey.” Every 750-milliliter bottle of Barr Hill vodka is distilled from four pounds of raw honey sourced from a 250-mile radius around Montpelier. The gin is finished with the same regional raw honey. Now, Hardie explained, he is working with other farmers to increase production of local grain for whiskey and breweries. “The work of Caledonia Spirits is giving legs to the growing of organic grain in Vermont,” he said. Christiansen also hopes to build markets for other products of the Vermont landscape, now that the team has more space to experiment. During a recent preopening event, guests sampled the results of two different research projects: a maple-based 42

gin and a distillate made from burdock root. “We want to work with farmers on new, farm-based spirits,” he said. During the event, a trio of bartenders under the guidance of beverage director Sam Nelis expertly double-fisted cocktail shakers, carved ice by hand from a large block and even branded ice cubes with a custom honeybee imprint. “We want to build a world-class cocktail bar that respects the craft of how the spirit is used,” Nelis explained. Guests mingled around the Barre gray granite bar, enjoying a wide array of classic and innovative drinks, from a frothytopped Ramos Gin Fizz to a rosy-hued, bittersweet creation garnished with local strawberries called the Hiking Club. Perched at the bar, Lorna Corbett and Craig Ball of Montpelier were sipping a Moscow Mule featuring housemade ginger beer and a Tom Collins made with Tom Cat — Ball’s regular order no matter where he goes, he said. They had been invited to the gathering because Corbett had gifted her husband a $150 membership in the Caledonia Spirits Waggle Society, which entitles members to various insider perks. “Why not support a local business that’s going to be a ton of fun?” Corbett said. “The more money we can keep in Vermont, the better,” her husband added. “Seems like Montpelier needs a venue like this.” Among the Caledonia Spirits team members at the event was Alex Weiss, the company’s sales director. Weiss said he started working for Hardie in 2006 during college, helping to market other honeybased products that predated Hardie’s foray into spirits. He moved on to do different things and was living in Brooklyn when Hardie called him in September 2012. “He said, ‘I’ve got this distillery, and I need a salesperson,’” Weiss recalled. Weiss admitted he had no idea then that Caledonia Spirits would take off the way it has, but he noted, “Todd is such a unique guy. I’d always learned so much from him, and Ryan was an anchor here. They had a vision.” Juggling his 1-year-old child in his arms, Weiss said, “Growth is this crazy challenge for any company. You can stick with the ethics and morals you had from the beginning, or veer off.” In the case of Caledonia Spirits, he said, “growth has allowed us to double down on supporting the ag economy and the community.” m Contact: pasanen@sevendaysvt.com

More Than S’mores Cooking outdoors with the new Vermont State Parks campfire chef B Y S A B INE POUX PHOTO COURTESY OF SUZANNE PODHAIZER

s Suzanne Podhaizer leans over her campfire, piled high with logs, newspapers and skinny twigs and blazing in the humid lakeside heat, I can’t help but think: Her hair must always smell like smoke. After only one afternoon at Podhaizer’s Grand Isle State Park campsite, the perfume of that fire permeates all my clothing, barraging me with nostalgia for my sleepaway-camp summers. But this campsite has other aromas — mushroom powder, fresh fruit from a local grower, smoked salt and lemon juice — that are far more pungent than the white bread and marshmallow fluff that characterized my camper days. Podhaizer, 41, is the new Vermont State Parks campfire chef — and the first. She created the position herself. Equipped with a large pair of multiuse tongs and a mobile spice pantry, the veteran chef, former Seven Days food editor, and cofounder of food education and consulting company Sel de la Terre is campsite hopping this summer in 10 or more of the state’s 55 parks. Along the way, she’s making meals that adhere to weekly themes, such as “breakfast” or “red, white and blue,” and posting recipes and photos 44
SEVEN DAYS JULY 3-10, 2019
of the dishes on the Vermont State Parks Cooks website and Instagram. Podhaizer will also teach park visitors to cook around the campfire, starting with a class on August 4 at Button Bay State Park. When the camping season ends in early October, she’ll compile the recipes and pictures into a cooking booklet for future campers. Until this week, Podhaizer was also the chef at Nomad Coffee in South Burlington; she left to focus more fully on Sel de la Terre with business partner Lucas Auger. The idea for her summer job came from a photography internship her sister had done with the parks service in return for park access. In the spring, Podhaizer made a pitch to Rochelle Skinner, the state parks’ sales and service manager, of a version of the internship that would include a culinary component. Her goal was to maximize her summer camping time, share campfire cooking ideas with the public and get people thinking about local food systems, she says. Skinner was game, and the two drew up what Skinner called a “fair-trade barter agreement” — an exchange of cooking expertise for free summer camping. The park service has connected its campers with cooking resources in the past,
Skinner notes, including instructional videos on its website, but nothing quite like this. “She’s stepping it up, for sure,” Skinner says of Podhaizer. “This is much more than hamburger and hot dog grilling.” No shade toward the classic burgersand-dogs campfire combo, Podhaizer says. But she wants to help campers expand their horizons to be more creative, with recipes for dishes such as beer-braised beef with potatoes, cheesy grits topped with a fried egg, and sour cream panna cotta with violets and rose petals. At the same time, she wants to keep outdoor cooking as accessible as possible. “We’re not trying to be perfect,” she readily admits. “We’re just trying to make it good.” Easy for a professional chef to say, I think to myself. Isn’t everything she makes going to be perfect and good? But Podhaizer practices what she preaches. When we meet to talk and make dinner at Grand Isle State Park, the second campsite on her circuit, our menu includes a vegetarian pasta dish and a salad. We split up the prep, and Podhaizer is extremely undemanding: There is no particular way in which she wants me to chop the shallots or tomatoes. We don’t
use measuring cups of any kind because, as she notes, most people don’t bring measurement tools to camp. “Eyeball it,” she tells me when I ask for direction. And, like she promised, it turns out damn delicious. During her nine days at Grand Isle, Podhaizer’s kitchen is a picnic table and a fire pit with an adjustable grate. On one side, there’s a metal fence separating the site from the drop-off to Lake Champlain; on the other, Podhaizer’s lean-to. Her shelter holds a small makeshift bed beside a lantern and piles of novels and cookbooks. Aprons hang from the ceiling, flapping in the breeze above a refillable water jug and a sizable stack of firewood. The paucity of cooking machinery both limits and enhances Podhaizer’s work around the campfire. There’s a different kind of “muscle memory for fire cooking,” she explains, than there is for stovetop cooking. The campfire has no knobs, no dials with which to adjust its temperature. The everyday act of cooking an egg suddenly becomes more complicated when the chef has to take into account the unpredictability of the fire. But the outdoors also offers ample space for creativity and exploration — and fun. A couple of weeks ago, Podhaizer caught a brown trout by the Fairfax dam; stuffed it with lemon, thyme and shallot; and cooked it over corn husks on the fire. She posted a photo on Facebook. “I couldn’t stop grinning the whole time I was cooking,” the caption said. We spend a good chunk of time prepping the pasta sauce while we wait for the water to boil; we’re mercilessly at the whim of the fire. Eventually, the inferno burns bright, and we set a big, beautiful, waterfilled Le Creuset onto the grill. Right before we pour in the pasta, Podhaizer picks a mosquito out of the water. “Extra protein!” she says with a laugh. Here, mosquitos are probably the biggest nuisance, she says, more than the cold at night. And they’re certainly more of a problem than the bears, which aren’t particularly aggressive in Vermont. (Phew.) While the pasta boils, lentils, garlic, capers, shallots and tomatoes cook in a smaller pot. Podhaizer’s picked Puy lentils because of their relatively quick cooking time. We add lemon for acidity and mushroom powder for umami — one of the many spices in Podhaizer’s mobile rack, a small

repurposed box that also houses ingredients such as smoked paprika and ancho chile powder. The smells that waft from the fire as the tomato-lentil mixture cooks are saliva-inducing. I think of what Podhaizer told me earlier, about a camping trip she took in high school: “We were canoeing, paddling up the Winooski River, and then I’d just be so hungry. I had probably never been so hungry!” she said. “The confluence of food and smoke and hunger made everything feel incredible.” While our own confluence of food and smoke and hunger grows, we get to fixing the salad, a colorful mix of fresh, local ingredients that we throw together in the lid of the pasta pot. I’m thrilled that Podhaizer has managed to fit a grater in her pack of supplies, because we use it to shred a mountain of Gouda onto the pile of greens. We then add sunflower seeds, toasted on the fire, and slices of the freshest nectarine I’ve ever had, from Last Resort Farm. Podhaizer’s big into sourcing her ingredients from local producers and vendors and hopes her new platform will encourage other campers to support them, too. On Grand Isle, that could mean getting strawberries and mesclun from the Champlain Islands Farmers Market or beef from Health Hero Farm. “I have been thinking that, if we can get some of those people coming from out of state information about the nearby farmers markets, the nearby farmers stands, they would be able to invest some money in local ingredients,” she says. “It could have a big impact on local agriculture.”
We’re ravenous by the time we dig in, and it tastes extraordinary. The pasta and lentils are satisfyingly starchy and salty, and the salad, garnished with a foraged flower, is a perfect accompaniment. We both go back for seconds, and I go for thirds, too. Behind us, the fire dies, wavering with the brisk wind that blows off the lake and through the canopy of trees. To me, it all seems like a grand adventure. And it is, but that doesn’t intimidate Podhaizer. From her three-year stint as a goose farmer to her upcoming catering gig in Wyoming, she has a history of scouting opportunities to experiment and play with food and agriculture. “I’ve done so many new things over the years, it’s hard for me to say if I’m doing something new,” she says of her summer job. “I would say that it’s affecting the way that I cook, and it brings out a different side of my cooking than if I had a sixburner stove and an oven and a deep fryer. “But I feel so comfortable with food,” she adds. “It doesn’t feel intimidating or scary to try something new.” m

“He had an enormous ability to capture in words the meaning of what America is about,” muses David W. Blight, author of Frederick Douglass’ Civil War: Keeping Faith in Jubilee, in a Biography Channel video on Douglass. One example of the abolitionist orator’s enduring impact is “The Meaning of the Fourth of July for the Negro.” The former slave delivered this fiery speech on July 5, 1852, in response to an invitation to speak at a commemoration of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. In publicparticipation events in Burlington and around the state, Vermonters give voice to the hard-hitting piece advocating for freedom, equality and an end to slavery.

Harry Behney award, its most prestigious honor, to the five Seven Days’ owner-publishers — Paula Routly, Pamela Polston, Cathy Resmer, Colby Roberts and Don Eggert — for their leadership and work on the Vermont Tech Jam and the paper’s yearlong “Hooked” series reporting on Vermont’s opioid crisis. Seven Days is the first media company to receive the award and is grateful for the acknowledgment. Thank you, GBIC.

Hang the DJ Local mix masters weigh in on an age-old debate B Y J ORD A N AD A MS
C
lub DJs can endlessly debate the subject of song requests. Some view them as a disruption, a monkey wrench in the well-oiled machine of a groovy playlist. Others think honoring audience feedback and appeals for specific tunes makes them a better, more hospitable host. There’s no right or wrong answer — but there is a right and wrong way to approach a DJ with a request. (Hint: Be polite.) People who view mix masters and turntablists as the human equivalent of shuffle mode — mindlessly putting on song after song with no consideration of continuity or vibe — likely don’t understand the time and effort that goes into planning and crafting the perfect mix. Maybe those folks are still stuck in middle-school dance mode, an arena where requests are king. For whatever reason, certain clubgoers have a sense of entitlement regarding what music gets played. One thing is for sure: That kind of attitude will get you nowhere with your typical DJ. To explore the issue, Seven Days asked a number of local DJs the following: When you’re deejaying a club or similar event space, do you take requests? Their answers were varied and nuanced. Keep them in mind the next time you find yourself tempted to ask a DJ to play your “jam.”
“makes sense.” If the floor is jammin’, then fuck off, this is my show.
Lee Anderson, DJ Lee J
Josh Kerman, DJ KermiTT
I only play vinyl, and I only bring the music I intend to play. If the floor is dead, or if most people on the floor seem to be together, I’ll fulfill a request if I can and it 58
SEVEN DAYS JULY 3-10, 2019
Evan LeCompte, DJ Cre8
I don’t have strong opinions about requests. Some DJs do. My feeling is this: Some requests are good. Some are not. I play some requests, and others I don’t. I am more apt to play your request or at least react positively if you ask verbally rather than jamming a smartphone in my face. That has become an annoying trend in the past few years.
Craig Mitchell
I do. It’s the nature of the beast. It does depend on approach, though. If they are too demanding or rude, then I let them have it — verbally.
Llu Mulvaney-Stanak, DJ Llu
I am open to requests, but I rarely actually play them because they often don’t match the vibe of the party or the set. The worst is when folks bring me their phone and say, “Play this.” So obnoxious. DJs are meant to curate a playlist that surprises and creates joy, not replicate your silly Spotify playlists. I don’t usually get into it. I just say, “I’ll see if I have it.” There is a time and place for a DJ to consider accepting requests — for example, at a wedding or most private functions. When it comes to a club/bar/festival, the rules
are a little different. Each stage is unique and will generally call for a specific musical genre. Also, the DJ could have a preplanned set that won’t change regardless of any requests. If a patron requests a song that does not fit with the current playlist, there are two perspectives here: Just like any job, the person fulfilling the job doesn’t want to be told how to do their job. [But] the DJ could accept a request as an opportunity to learn something new about their audience.
Kyle Thompson, DJ Fattie B
I do if these factors are met: It fits in with either what I’m spinning or the theme of the night, [and] it’s asked with kindness and manners. Generally, if the person is friendly and asks for a tune that “fits,” I always try to help them out. Bad attitudes and rudeness get nada.
Matt Hagen, Local Dork
Yes, I’ll always take requests. However, whether or not I play that request is a different story. A DJ’s job is to help facilitate the vibe of an environment. Part of that is making decisions on what is best for the greater good. If a request is right in line with the vibe and will fit appropriately, honoring that will not only make that person happy but most likely everyone else. If not, tough luck to that individual who wants to hear “their” song, as I’m just looking out for the greater good. HANG THE DJ

News and views on the local music + nightlife scene B Y J O R D A N A D A MS
Christmas in July Christmas has come early for all you hard-core Burlington music scene lovers out there. Recently, a trove of classic Queen City albums unassumingly arrived on Bandcamp. With no fanfare or pomp, the majority of dormant label Dangerfive Records’ catalog is now available for your streaming pleasure. Helmed by DAVID ZACHARIS of tweepop champs the SMITTENS, Dangerfive Records was founded in 2000. The DIY label cranked out releases until roughly 2005, including work from DIALOGUE FOR THREE, JAMES KOCHALKA SUPERSTAR and various folks associated with the Smittens. As music trends moved from CDs to iPods to streaming services, the bulk of the discography was understandably lost in the shuffle — at least temporarily. Zacharis tells Seven Days that he dusted off the work “mostly for nostalgia.” After revisiting some of the catalog, he decided to post everything for which he had high-quality digitized recordings. Several more records may be added from the archive soon. The first Dangerfive offering was
Listening In If I were a superhero, my superpower would be the ability to get songs stuck in other people’s heads. Here are five songs that have been stuck in my head this week. May they also get stuck in yours. Follow sevendaysvt on Spotify for weekly playlists with tunes by artists featured in the music section. MARK RONSON, “Truth (featuring
Alicia Keys and the Last Artful, Dodgr” MARK RONSON, “True Blue (featuring Angel Olsen)” MARK RONSON, “Don’t Leave Me Lonely (featuring YEBBA)” MARK RONSON, “Pieces of Us (featuring King Princess)” MARK RONSON, “Nothing Breaks Like a Heart (featuring Miley Cyrus)”
Rock N’ Roll Haikus — Live at Squrrrl’s, a freewheeling recording session between Zacharis and fellow Smitten (and Seven Days circulation technician) COLIN CLARY.
Its album art indicates that the tracks aren’t actual haikus. But the quick and breezy spirit of the Japanese form comes through in the silly, sketch-like songs. Zacharis notes that Clary wrote most of them on the night they made the record. Other fun entries in the massive upload include the two-track single A Very Smitten Hanukkah, Kochalka’s Hot Chocolate Superstar and a quasi-new release, Stay Gold — Cover Songs by the Smittens. Most of the tunes included appear on other compilations and Smittens albums, except for three neverbefore-heard tracks: indie forefathers BEAT HAPPENING’s “Cast a Shadow,” British game-changers OASIS’ “Live Forever” and a snappy rendition of the theme from “The Golden Girls.” More than anything, the compendium stands as a time capsule for a particularly prolific subset of Burlington musicians. Enjoy digging through the unearthed treasure.

Mo Lowda & the Humble
music venues have been folding left and right over the past decade. Last year, the music marathon spread to the U.S. Locally, Higher Ground is its only participating club. A representative from Independent Venue Week reached out to Seven Days for coverage regarding the weeklong event. As much as I believe in its mission, I had to explain to them that, because we don’t have any venues owned by large conglomerates such as Live Nation or the like, literally every week in Vermont is Independent Venue Week. In a major city, where competition is fierce between true indies and corporatized music hot spots, I can see the importance of celebrating independent venues. I guess we’re pretty lucky that we don’t even have to think about it. This week, keep doing what you do. Go see live music at independently owned clubs. After all, it’s your only option.
Hip(pie) Hills
Killington Resort kicks off its Cooler in the Mountains music series this week with MO LOWDA & THE HUMBLE on Saturday, July 6. The string of outdoor concerts runs every Saturday until August 31. Most bands included are of the jam or jam-adjacent variety, such as WILD ADRIATIC and ANNIE IN THE WATER, who perform back-to-back on July 13. Of note: While many outdoor concerts have a rain-or-shine policy, Cooler in the Mountains will let potential attendees know by 11 a.m. on the morning of the show whether it will go on as planned. If inclement weather persists, the show will relocate from
the Snowshed Base Area to the nearby Snowshed Lodge. And speaking of living it up in the outdoors…
Brook Smart
A new music fest erupts this weekend in Waterbury called the Alder Brook Campout. Nestled on private property along the aforementioned brook, the fest enters a growing arena of small, DIY indie-music fests. Williston’s Nightshade Festival, which hits in August, is a similar event, and both are like fledgling versions of September’s thriving Otis Mountain Get Down across Lake Champlain in Elizabethtown, N.Y. The what, where, when and who of Alder Brook were fairly obvious — more on that below. But when asked about the why, the festival’s mysterious production team offered only a cryptic response: “to indulge in the restless pursuit of excitement.” Perhaps some mindfulness exercises might help with that restlessness. Attendees will feast on a sizable chunk of local talent (and vegetarian fare from the Broccoli Bar food cart): acoustic soul singer-songwriter IVAMAE, indie-pop outfit FULL WALRUS, TALLGRASS GET DOWN’s LONG GONE JOHN, post-rockers PLASTIQUE MAMMALS, Brattleboro post-punks I LOVE YOU! and new-wave group ROOST, the festival’s organizers. DJs include DISCO PHANTOM, VETICA and DISCO MITCH. That’s a lot of music for the supremely low price of $15. Heading up the nonlocal contingent are Boston psych-rockers COLOR CHANNEL and always energetic New York City art-punks GUERRILLA TOSS, who headline the event. m

REVIEW this Ben Roque, Amuser (SELF-RELEASED, DIGITAL)
In a handwritten note accompanying his new album, Amuser, singer-songwriter Ben Roque explains its jovial title. Turns out it’s not exactly a fun, playful reference. The word “amuser” refers to a specific kind of 19th-century British pickpocket. A pair of nefarious knaves would set up a two-person con: One would blow pepper or some other irritant into the eyes of an unsuspecting passerby, only to have their partner swoop in to feign assistance to the victim while quietly lifting valuables off their person. Roque, a Burlingtonbased musician and auJuly 3-10, 2019, seems to have an affinity for spooky so-andsos in grave situations. The short stories in his 2018 ebook, The Midnight Cabaret, sound like source material for the next season of “The Twilight Zone.” Much like the scoundrels populating the work of fellow Queen City
Ian Steinberg, Guidance
(SELF-RELEASED, DIGITAL DOWNLOAD, VINYL, CD)
I am being attacked by folk music! It’s basically as though I were walking down Pearl Street in Burlington, just minding my business, maybe thinking about some hot little electro-pop record that’s been on my dirty mind, when BAM! Another folk record accosts me, sticks a mandolin into my ribs and says, “You’re going to listen to these sad, pastoral dirges I wrote! Hope you’re ready to grapple with some dark emotions, friend.” I actually do like folk music. Don’t you folkers send me emails saying Seven Days hates folk, because a) between Henry Jamison and Cricket Blue, there’s plenty of praise going around; and b) I only unilaterally hate jam bands. Kidding! I’m kidding. Look, I just want to be clear that while I enjoy Ian Steinberg’s newest release, Guidance, he’s entering a rather crowded field up here, a scene full of talent and bold records. In other words, Burlington

project Matt the Gnat and the Gators, the Vermont native’s characters are a dismal lot of dark-hearted creatures — a Roque’s gallery, if you will. Self-produced and engineered at home in his former city, San Diego, as well as in Burlington, Amuser is charmingly lo-fi, stylistically matching the scrappy stories contained within. Bluesy, piano-led jaunts teeter through minor-key ballads. Scathing hard-rock riffs underscore sotto voce murmurings. Around each of the album’s corners lie bleak tales of woe. “Little Amuser,” the album’s pseudo title track, recalls the grand, pleasing tone of Elliott Smith. Darkly descriptive, the tune paints a picture of haunted rose gardens, howling wolves and an endless desolate highway. “Little amuser’s at the door,” Roque croons at the hook’s climax, a disquieting omen. The record transitions into the piano slow jam “I Learned the Trick From Jekyll,”
one of the album’s most stripped-down food and art. and emotionally raw tracks. Lyrically enigmatic, the song never describes exactly 49 Old Main St., Jeffersonville | Every Wednesday what the “trick” is. But anyone familiar 4:30PM - 8PM | MUSIC 5:30 with the Robert Louis Stevenson novella SPONSORED BY: Cambridge Arts Council, Great Big Graphics, Smugglers’ Notch Resort, N.A.Manosh, Switchback Brewing Co., can infer that Roque sings of a schism of Rock Art Brewery, Aubuchon Hardware, G.W.Tatro Construction, self, or perhaps the struggle of hiding inner Kingdom Creamery of VT, JFAM, Jack F.

is having a folk resurgence, so you can’t be putting out some weak shit. By and large, Steinberg more than holds his own. He has a conversational, clear voice with a gift for lyrics — not to mention plenty of skill on the guitar. As a songwriter, he possesses a refreshingly classy directness, musically as well as melodically. For instance, “Honey Won’t You Come Back Home” displays an old-world charm that frames an otherwise dour tune. But the fourth track, “Pieces… Pieces...,” is where things really get interesting. It’s the first melancholy song on a record obsessed with much that is melancholy. The album is meant to embody Steinberg’s struggle with depression after a dual loss — that of his grandfather, who makes a posthumous appearance on “Poppy’s Last Message,” and the death of a close friend who committed suicide. “And Now…” deals with that suicide in a sometimes raw, sometimes copacetic fashion. Appraising his friend with the distance of death, Steinberg offers no easy views, nor attempts to explain what any of it means, other than the primal urge to go on. “Your sad charm
and pricked up arm / The coin tossed up for you,” he sings in a voice tender with nostalgia. He concludes, “Silky web of devil’s thread / Stole what was left to lose.” The title track brings the narrative back to Steinberg and his quest to pick up the pieces. It’s a song of hope among wreckage, full of pleading and searching as he tries to find a way out of despair, the overarching theme of the album. At times, the directness of his songs seems to sap sophistication from them. But faulting Guidance for not quite hitting the heights of Burlington’s folk-music pacesetters hardly seems fair. For a debut LP, the record is far above average, with crisp production and intelligent, purposeful arrangements. And, like any good storyteller, Steinberg knows movement is essential to character. By the closing track of the album, “Sunshine,” he has found a path away from loss of friends, family and love. Steinberg is working in a talent-heavy field, full of inventive songwriters and incredible musicians. It’s no small thing to put out a debut this competent, polished and full of potential. Steinberg plays on Friday, July 5, at SideBar in Burlington. Guidance is available at iansteinberg.bandcamp.com.

When I am commissioned for weddings/private events, I’ll play a request if I have it. Spinning at a club or a party I’m throwing, I don’t like requests.
Matthew Robinson, DJ Big Dog
I have never done a set where I haven’t taken requests. Being a DJ that plays a specific kind of music — reggae, dancehall, some Afrobeat and other Caribbean music — it’s easier to turn down requests by letting [them] know what we are playing. It’s always awkward responding to people with bad requests or music that doesn’t fit your night. The big thing DJs deal with nowadays is people not understanding [that] DJs don’t download music on the spot. They say stuff like, “Can you play it off my phone?” which isn’t something we do. m Contact: jordan@sevendaysvt.com

isitors who think they’re going to see the dogs at “William Wegman: Outside In” at the Shelburne Museum are in for a surprise. A pleasant one, most likely. To be sure, plenty of the artist’s famous Weimaraners appear in the exhibition in various guises, captured in 20-by-24inch Polaroid color prints. According to Wegman, the canines are diligent and hardworking models who patiently tolerate all manner of indignities. Consider the pooch draped completely in what appears to be a floral shower curtain (“Rain Coat,”

2004), or the one in a pile of knotted ropes (“Tangled,” 1998), or — in perhaps the greatest display of forbearance — the one with various doodads atop the head and hung on the snout (“Daisy Nut Ball,” 1994). Thing is, Wegman, now 75, originally trained as a painter, at the Massachusetts College of Art and Design in Boston and then at the University of Illinois at UrbanaChampaign. Shortly after he received his MFA, painting was inconveniently declared dead. Wegman moved to Los Angeles and, in the 1970s, took up video, becoming known as a key figure in West Coast conceptualism. He resumed painting again in the ’80s
and practices it to this day. The Shelburne Museum exhibition presents a number of pieces from the artist’s personal collection, most of them relatively recent. Even as he continued painting, Wegman also took up Weimaraners and photography. After four decades of posing his pups; producing books, calendars and other ephemera; and appearing on television, it’s no wonder he is saddled with a reputation as “the dog artist.” Luckily, he doesn’t mind. As Wegman told Shelburne Museum assistant curator Carolyn Bauer in a recorded interview, “I’m thankful for any audience I have … I was certainly never asked to go on a talk
show to discuss my paintings, but with the dogs and also with my video work, that is what happened.” The show’s title, “Outside In,” refers not to bringing Weimaraners into the studio — though perhaps it could — but to Wegman’s long-standing relationship with the natural world. Born in rural Massachusetts, he has maintained a home in Maine for decades. Despite his years living in LA and New York City, Wegman is a son of New England, influenced by both a lifestyle of hunting, fishing and camping and the region’s transcendentalist legacy. This influence manifests in his work with characteristic wry humor. In the photograph

“Camp Set” (1997), two Weimaraners and a human with an inserted dog head are all clad in plaid and posed at a woodsy campsite. It could be an ad for L.L.Bean — which is why the “camp” in the title is undoubtedly a double entendre. Wegman’s Field Guide to North America and to Other Regions (1993) is an outsize, limited-edition artist book whose large pages borrow from Boy Scout instruction manuals while also featuring a photograph of a nearly nude woman poised to scamper into the forest. “Daisy Nut Ball” His table of contents consists not of text but of watercolor pictograms; the book’s container is a birchwood box. The paintings that might most surprise viewers of this show are 21st-century renderings that incorporate cubism, abstraction and, most prominently, “readymades” in the form of collaged modern postcards. Among these are two works that use paint to expand on scenes in replica vintage postcards from the Shelburne Museum collection. Wegman augments “Spiral Stair” with grand flourishes and curlicues in a range of green hues. “Rain Coat” “Collected Rooms” builds cubist planes and angles around postcard pictures taken in the museum’s Electra Havemeyer Webb Memorial Building and Prentis House. The exhibition’s largest work by far is a three-panel painting titled, somewhat ironically, “The Great Indoors.” Dominating the gallery’s back wall, the 2013 piece depicts an enormous, imaginary room whose rectilinear planes swoop back to a point of near disappearance; it is an extreme, architectural exercise in perspective. But the brightly colored room also incorporates “windows” — that is, six collaged postcards — that offer views onto other worlds: an elk in a northern wilderness, a blue pond, a cluster of rocks in a desert. Only one affixed postcard, of an orange side chair, seems to suggest a more mundane function.
Wegman reiterates the “picture window” concept in other, smaller works, as well. The artist’s earlier paintings and noncanine photographs help to build a more comprehensive understanding of his creative arc. But it must be said that, in the end, Wegman’s Weimaraner photographs steal the show, though the ones that stand out aren’t necessarily the whimsical costumed or camouflaged canines. In his interview with Bauer, Wegman said, “This idea has been central to my work for quite a while now, that things are one thing and then they become something else.” Nowhere is this more evident than in his photographs of dogs that don’t look like dogs. The remarkable triptych “Lake Shore” (1999), which greets visitors as they enter the gallery, appears to depict a set of round hills against a hazy blue and green backdrop. In fact, the “hills” are dogs’ bodies in curledup sleep position. A viewer has to get close to recognize the sheen of fur. The tight composition of “Lake and Valley” (2000) makes four dogs’ sloping backs into steep mountainsides. Whether Wegman is anthropomorphizing his Weimaraners or presenting them as something “other,” he has cultivated a living, breathing subject as reliable as, well, man’s best friend. “I think as long as I have dogs I’ll continue to come up with new ideas,” he wrote for the exhibition text. “I don’t think I’ll ever be bored by this, and I’m certainly not boring them.” m
IN THE END, WEGMAN’S WEIMARANER PHOTOGRAPHS
STEAL THE SHOW.

movies Yesterday ★
I
’m trying to think of another film hinging on a phenomenon of towering cultural significance that fritters its running time on as many dumb gimmicks and dopey tropes as this one. I’m drawing a blank. Yesterday is a genre of one. No worries about a franchise. One is one more than discerning moviegoers are likely to want. Directed by Danny Boyle (Slumdog Millionaire) but, more significantly, written by Richard Curtis (Notting Hill), this is an awkward crossbreed of fantasy or science fiction or just plain silliness with romantic comedy. When I say “romantic,” I don’t mean to suggest anything beyond see-it-coming-miles-away plotting. When I say “comedy,” I don’t mean to imply there are laughs. Reflexive half-smiles and a chuckle or two, tops. Himesh Patel plays Jack Malik, an aspiring performer who realizes the time has come to abandon all show-biz hope. He’s wearied of playing to the same handful of friends and his manager/best bud, Ellie (Lily James). Precisely when he decides to get serious, however, the universe plays a preposterous joke. A power outage momentarily darkens the

world. Jack is thrown from his bike and bangs his head and, presto, a star is born. Jack soon recognizes he’s the only one who remembers the Fab Four. When he strums a Beatles tune, people gaze in awe. Faster than you can say “You Can’t Do That,” he’s reaping the rewards of global Malikmania. The filmmakers cheat in selling this premise. They make sure the songs we see Jack perform pre-magical mystery glitch are lame and lamely performed, the better to make his Beatles covers sound extraordinary. One of the movie’s numerous failures is that they actually just sound a little less lame. Critics have credited Yesterday with a cheeky critique of the music industry, but that’s nonsense. Kate McKinnon appears in the role of a pushy record exec with plans to remake Jack into a human ATM, but the caricature is nothing we haven’t seen her do on “Saturday Night Life” dozens of times. The script’s most profound insight into the industry is that its business model involves making a profit by selling catchy songs. Not exactly the stuff of Michael Moore. Ed Sheeran appears as himself in a role written for Coldplay’s Chris Martin. Which explains why, when Jack first plays a Beatles tune, a friend calls it stunning though “no Coldplay ‘Fix You.’” Otherwise, not much satire there.
Which leaves the picture’s dueling story lines: a painfully belabored will-they-orwon’t-they involving Jack and Ellie (Notting Hill this is not) and the fraught conceit that everybody on Earth but Jack has forgotten the Beatles. While the premise is 100 percent ridiculous and arbitrary, the film’s creators could have done any number of intriguing things with it. Unfortunately, they did none of them. Instead, they introduce threads, then leave them dangling and eventually stoop appallingly low in pursuit of goosebumps. Movie-critic law prohibits saying more, but really, is nothing too hallowed to monetize? Apparently not.
The Last Black Man in San Francisco ★★★★★
J
oe Talbot’s powerful directorial debut highlights the people that urban gentrification left behind: the oddballs, the obsessives, a street preacher, a nudist and a Greek chorus of gang members. But the film’s most resonant line goes to a homeless man who looks at a demolition site where people used to own homes and announces, “You never own shit.” What we can and can’t own, and what it means to us to own things, are questions at the heart of The Last Black Man in San Francisco. It’s a classic underdog story that is also a tender, raging elegy for a whole way of life. The underdog in question is Jimmie Fails, played by the real Jimmie Fails, a childhood friend of Talbot's. Together they developed a story loosely based on events in Fails’ life (in Rolling Stone, he called it “more than 20 percent autobiographical”) — namely, his efforts to reclaim the stunning Fillmore Street Victorian that his family owned in his childhood. The family lost the house decades ago, and Jimmie now rooms with his best friend and coconspirator, the playwright Monty (Jonathan Majors), and Monty’s blind, movieloving dad (Danny Glover). But Jimmie still rides his skateboard downtown regularly to perform upkeep on his beloved Victorian, to the consternation of its current inhabitants. When the house becomes temporarily vacant, Jimmie seizes his chance and moves in, with Monty in tow. They furnish the place 72 SEVEN DAYS JULY 3-10, 2019

with Jimmie’s family heirlooms and set to work bringing it back to life. Viewers who know anything about today’s San Francisco, the land of Google commuter buses, açai bowls and multimillion-dollar listings on every corner, know Jimmie’s dream is doomed. He’s been priced out of his past. That doesn’t make it any less wrenching to watch him try to persuade a loan officer that he’ll
never miss a payment because no other buyer shares his commitment to this property. Playing two different shades of moody introspection, but always open to the camera, Fails and Majors create the kind of characters we want to see succeed. Majors makes Monty particularly affecting in his unpretentious struggle to filter the world through art, finding beauty in the trash-talking gangbangers on his corner.
It’s simpleminded to suggest that, in a Beatles-amnesiac world, anyone who sang their songs would achieve their level of glory. They were four extraordinary beings who did what they did in the context of a specific time and place with a little help from their extraordinary producer, George Martin. As key to that phenomenon as the songs are their performances and arrangements. Subtract any element from the equation, and the result is cultural Jenga — a rubble of unreached possibility. Yesterday had potential, but it simply didn’t come together. RI C K KI S O N AK
Talbot’s style is poetic and stylized, reminiscent of Barry Jenkins; key encounters are shot in close-up, and the music has the presence of a character. While some scenes suggest boldly lit theatrical tableaux, there’s gorgeous fluidity in a shot that follows Jimmie down one of the city’s famous hills on his board. Viewers might sometimes be reminded of Be Kind Rewind, which also featured a misfit duo with a quixotic commitment to the past. While Michel Gondry’s movie was too whimsical to make its audience uncomfortable, though, this one gets darker. Dispossession is its theme, yet who can own San Francisco? Fails and Talbot take wellaimed shots at the white techies who have appropriated a formerly vibrant African American neighborhood, but they don’t stop there. The same area, Jimmie tells us, was home to Japanese Americans until they were sent to internment camps. The further back you look at a place, especially a place as heartbreakingly beautiful as San Francisco, the more layers of hope and dispossession you find. That doesn’t mean Jimmie’s personal dispossession doesn’t matter — it does. His yearning to own his history becomes more resonant with every shot of this gorgeous film, until we understand exactly what he means when he says of the city, “You can’t say you hate it unless you love it.” MARGO T HARRI S O N

SEVEN DAYS JULY 3-10, 2019
FREE WILL ASTROLOGY BY ROB BREZSNY REAL JULY 4-10
CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22)
Cancerian voice actor Tom Kenny has played the roles of more than 1,500 cartoon characters, including SpongeBob SquarePants, Spyro the Dragon, Jake Spidermonkey, Commander Peepers and Doctor Octopus. I propose that we make him your role model in the coming weeks. It will be a favorable time for you to show your versatility, to demonstrate how multifaceted you can be, to express various sides of your soulful personality.
ARIES (March 21-April 19): When the universe began 13.8 billion years ago, there were only four elements: mostly hydrogen and helium, plus tiny amounts of lithium and beryllium. Now there are 118 elements, including five that are key components of your body: oxygen, carbon, nitrogen, calcium and phosphorus. All of those were created by nuclear reactions blazing on the insides of stars that later died. So it’s literally true to say that much of your flesh and blood and bones and nerves originated at the hearts of stars. I invite you to meditate on that amazing fact. It’s a favorable time to muse on your origins and your ancestry, to ruminate about all the events that led to you being here today — including more recent decades, as well as the past 13.8 billion years. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Most American women couldn’t vote until a hundred years ago. Women in Japan, France and Italy couldn’t vote until the 1940s. Universal suffrage has been a fundamental change in how
society is structured. Similarly, same-sex marriage was opposed by vast majorities in most countries until 15 years ago but has since become widely accepted. African American slavery lasted for hundreds of years before being delegitimized all over the Western world in the 19th century. Brazil, which hosted 40 percent of all kidnapped Africans, didn’t free its slaves until 1888. What would be the equivalent of such revolutionary transformations in your own personal life? According to my reading of the astrological omens, you have the power to make that happen during the next 12 months.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Gemini musician Paul Weller is famous in the UK, though not so much elsewhere. According to the BBC, he is one of Britain’s “most revered music writers and performers.” To which I say: revered, maybe, but mentally healthy? Not so much. He bragged that he broke up his marriage with his wife, Dee C. Lee, because “things were going too well; we were too happy, too comfortable; everything seemed too nice.” He was afraid that “as a writer and an artist I might lose my edge.” Don’t you dare allow yourself to get infected with that perverse way of thinking, my dear Gemini. Please capitalize on your current comfort and happiness. Use them to build your strength and resilience for the months and years to come.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Leo author Donald Miller reminds us that fear can have two very different purposes. On the one hand, it may be “a guide to keep us safe,” alerting us to situations that could be dangerous or abusive. On the other hand, fear may work as “a manipulative emotion that can trick us into living a boring life.” After studying your astrological indicators for the coming weeks, Leo, I have come to the conclusion that fear may serve both of those functions for you. Your challenge will be to discern between them, to know which situations are genuinely risky and which situations are daunting but promising. Here’s a hint that might help: Trust your gut feelings more than your swirling fantasies. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Why do flocks of geese fly in a V-formation? Because to do
so enhances the collective efficiency of their travel. Each bird generates a current that supports the bird behind it. Let’s make this phenomenon one of your power metaphors for the coming weeks. What would be the equivalent strategy for you and your tribe or group as you seek to make your collaborative efforts more dynamic and productive? Unforeseen help will augment any actions you take in this regard.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “A conversation is a dialogue, not a monologue,” mused Libra author Truman Capote. “That’s why there are so few good conversations: due to scarcity, two intelligent talkers seldom meet.” That cynical formulation has more than a few grains of truth in it, I must admit. But I’m pleased to tell you that I suspect your experience in the coming weeks will be an exception to Capote’s rule. I think you have the potential to embark on a virtual binge of rich discussion and intriguing interplay with people who stimulate and educate and entertain you. Rise to the challenge! SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): In accordance with astrological rhythms, you are authorized to make the following declarations in the next two weeks: 1. “I refuse to participate further in this situation on the grounds that it might impinge on the expansiveness of my imagination.” 2. “I abstain from dealing with your skepticism on the grounds that doing so might discourage the flights of my imagination.” 3. “I reject these ideas, theories and beliefs on the grounds that they might pinch, squash or deflate my imagination.” What I’m trying to tell you, Scorpio, is that it’s crucial for you to emancipate your imagination and authorize it to play uninhibitedly in the frontiers of possibilities. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Dear
Sagittarius: I invite you to make a copy of the testimonial below and give it to anyone who is in a position to support your Noble Experiment. “To Whom It May Concern: I endorse this Soulful Sagittarius for the roles of monster tamer, fun locator, boredom transcender, elation inciter and mountaintop visionary. This adroit explorer is endowed with charming zeal, disarming candor and abundant
generosity. If you need help in sparking your enthusiasm or galvanizing your drive to see the big picture, call on the expansive skills of this jaunty puzzle solver.”
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Life will conspire to bring you a surge of love in the coming weeks — if you can handle it. Can you? Will you be able to deal adeptly with rumbling love and icy-hot love and mostly sweet but also a-bit-sour love? Do you possess the resourcefulness and curiosity necessary to have fun with funny spiritual love and runningthrough-the-labyrinth love and unexpectedly catalytic love? Are you open-minded and openhearted enough to make the most of brilliant shadowy love and unruly sensitive love and toughly graceful love? AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): I don’t end-
lessly champion the “no pain, no gain” theory of personal growth. My philosophy holds that we are at least as likely to learn valuable lessons from pleasurable and joyful experiences as we are from difficult and taxing struggles. Having said that, I also think it’s true that our suffering may lead us to treasure if we know how to work with it. According to my assessment, the coming weeks will bring one such opening for you. To help you cultivate the proper spirit, keep in mind the teaching of Aquarian theologian and author Henri Nouwen. He said that life’s gifts may be “hidden in the places that hurt most.”
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): The Japanese word wabi-sabi refers to an interesting or evocative imperfection in a work of art that makes it more beautiful than if it were merely perfect. Duende is a Spanish word referring to a work of art that gives its viewers the chills because it’s so emotionally rich and unpredictably soulful. In the coming weeks, I think that you yourself will be a work of art with an abundance of these qualities. Your wabi-sabi will give you the power to free yourself from the oppressive pressures of seeking too much precision and purity. Your duende can give you the courage you need to go further than you’ve ever dared in your quest for the love you really want.

Maybe you saw me staring your way from the water, near my daughter, as you left in that long-sleeve gray shirt hanging off one shoulder. A night out might be nice. When: Tuesday, June 18, 2019.

Me: Man. #914765 THROUGH TIME AND SPACE I thought over time my yearning for you would go away, but it has only changed and morphed as I have.

Irreverent counsel on lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s conundrums
Dear Reverend,
My upstairs neighborâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bedroom is directly above mine, and I hear him having sex all the time. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m no prude, but heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really, really loud and it kinda grosses me out. What do I do?

SEVEN DAYS JULY 3-10, 2019
The first apartment I lived in was a teensy little studio, and my bedroom was right next to my neighborâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. The only thing separating our beds was a paperthin wall. The couple was not only loud but also really wordy â&#x20AC;&#x201D; kinda giving a play-by-play of the act â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and the woman would yowl like a maniac at the end. I thought it was fun the first time or two, but then the lack of sleep caused by their caterwauling got on my
FELLOW HANDLER AT TARGET As I was leaving with my service dog, I caught a glimpse of you and your service dog. You looked young like me. I wish I had the guts to say hello.

Me: Non-binary person. #914759 EASTERN DRAGON CHOW You had lunch with another woman. You left but returned to use the ladiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; room. I saw the ring on your finger but wonder if it carries much weight. I was alone at the next table toward the kitchen. Would love to chat with you. Loved seeing your legs! When: Monday, June 3, 2019. Where: Eastern Dragon, St. Albans. You: Woman. Me: Man. #914758 SHELBURNE RD. MOBIL BEER Spied you at the Mobil on the corner of Shelburne Road and Allen Road in the evening. You had beer, and I let you go in line in front of me. I wish I had struck up more of a conversation. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s have a few beers together! When: Friday, May 31, 2019. Where: Shelburne Rd. Mobil. You: Woman. Me: Man. #914757 COLLEEN FROM SAN FRAN We were both shopping for Jeeps. I had the black Ram. Wanted to comment on your beautiful smile, but I let you and your dog drive away in your white Canyon. I regretted not talking with you more. Didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t notice a ring. Perhaps we can connect and talk over a drink. When: Saturday, June 1, 2019. Where: Goss Jeep, Shelburne Rd. You: Woman. Me: Man. #914756 GREENHOUSE AND CHECKOUT COUNTER I said hello to you at the registers when I went back to pay for a bottle that I initially wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t charged for on this Wednesday afternoon.

Your shorts are back and, wow, those leg muscles stir me! You: hot. Me: wet! When: Monday, May 20, 2019. Where: Montpelier. You: Man. Me: Woman. #914750
nerves. One particularly boisterous night, I yelled out, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s faking it!â&#x20AC;? I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think they had known that I was right next to them, and things quieted down after that. Not sure if a similar approach would work for you. Perhaps shout out some words of encouragement? Hearing sex can be a little unnerving, because you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help but get turned on. That can make you feel pervy, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s completely natural. Our brains have these wacky things called mirror neurons that make us â&#x20AC;&#x153;mirrorâ&#x20AC;? the actions of people around us. Hence the contagious yawn. Sex noises are a lot less stressful than hearing people
THINKING MUCH TOO HARD Why not go for broke? Trade in all your chips and learn how to be free. Why abstain, why jump in line â&#x20AC;&#x201D; weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all living on borrowed time!

You were with boyfriend but kept checking me out, and we shared a few smiles. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hot and seemed interested, so HMU. When: Sunday, May 19, 2019. Where: Moeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. You: Woman. Me: Man. #914747 Sâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;MORES AND POPCORN To the handsome bearded man: You were buying makings for sâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;mores and popcorn. I was a few people behind. We exchanged extended smiles. If I was directly behind you, I would have struck up a conversation. Hopefully you see this and want to meet. I like sâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;mores and popcorn, too! When: Friday, May 3, 2019. Where: Market 32, Shelburne Rd. You: Man. Me: Woman. #914739 TENDER MOTHER WITH MAGIC SMILE We sat opposite each other in the dining area. I wore funny â&#x20AC;&#x153;clothes,â&#x20AC;? and you could probably sense I was mesmerized. As I gathered the courage to talk to you, your son ran off and the moment was lost. I hope I see you again. When: Saturday, May 4, 2019. Where: Middlebury Co-op, 12:25 p.m. You: Woman. Me: Man. #914738 WATERBURY CROSSROADS GAS DBL E The sailor coming out again / the lady fairly lept at him / thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how it stands today / you decide if he was wise... Stopped for gas tonight. We exchanged â&#x20AC;&#x153;pleasantriesâ&#x20AC;? over how sleepy the weather was. There was something in the way you smiled. Coffee? Drinks? Dinner? Apologies if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re happily involved with someone. Figured I had to take a chance. When: Thursday, May 2, 2019. Where: Waterbury Crossroads. You: Woman. Me: Man. #914736 HANNAFORD, MORRISVILLE The depth of your smile went to my toes. When: Thursday, May 2, 2019. Where: Hannaford, Morrisville. You: Man. Me: Woman. #914735
screaming and fighting, or a dog barking all day long. Get yourself some earplugs or play some music when your neighbor is getting it on. If you really canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take it, write an anonymous note letting him know that, while youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re glad heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s enjoying a healthy sex life, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d appreciate it if he could take the decibel level down a notch. Or, better yet, start having some loud sex of your own. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the kind of shouting match I can get behind! Good luck and God bless,

Buy direct. Eating with the seasons is eating with savings! Shop locally, buy what’s in season, and save money when you buy directly from your farmer. (Consider buying bulk to get even further savings!) When you buy directly from a farmer, you get fresh, delicious, and healthy food at a competitive price...and the farmer receives a fair value for their product. Farmers markets, farm stands, and Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) shares all give you the same benefits of quality and community!

Babs AGE/SEX: 3-year-old spayed female ARRIVAL DATE: May 21, 2019 REASON HERE: Not a good fit for her previous home. SUMMARY: This petite lady sure is beautiful, but she's not just
a pretty face. Independent and adventurous, Babs likes space to do her own thing and explore the great outdoors from time to time. That's not to say she doesn't also want some love, of course! If you're looking for a cat who would rather be your buddy than your shadow, Babs just might be the gal for you!

DID YOU KNOW? More pets go missing between July 4 and 6 than any other time during the year! Loud noises and bright colors from fireworks may be fun to us, but they can easily frighten our dogs and cats and lead them to flee, searching for safety. Be sure to keep your pets indoors at home, away from the festivities. Provide them with a crate or other safe space to hide, and try playing music to keep them calm.

STATE OF VERMONT AGENCY OF TRANSPORTATION NOTICE OF VERIFIED COMPLAINT TRANSPORTATION PROJECT COLCHESTER HES NH 5600(14) In accordance with the requirements of 19 V.S.A. § 504(b)(2), the Vermont Agency of Transportation (“VTrans”) hereby gives notice that it has filed a verified complaint with the Vermont Superior Court, Chittenden Unit, Civil Division (Docket No. 484-6-19 Cncv) seeking a judgment of condemnation for the taking by the State of Vermont of certain lands and rights therein located in the Town of Colchester in Chittenden County for transportation purposes under the projections of 19 V.S.A. Chapter 5 (Condemnation). The proposed transportation project is described as follows: Transportation Project Colchester HES NH 5600(14) (“the Project”) begins at a point on U.S. Routes 2/7 (“US 2/7”) at the Winooski/Colchester line, thence extending northerly for a distance of approximately 5563 feet (1.05 miles) to a point 75 feet north of the intersection of US 2/7 and Sunderland Woods Road in the Town of Colchester. The Project will rehabilitate US 2/7, the work to be performed under the Project includes the construction of a double crossover diamond interchange, widening of the existing roadway for new turn lanes, cold planning, and resurfacing, new traffic signal equipment, new lighting, new signing, and other roadway related work. In addition, traffic signal equipment will be upgraded at the Tigan Street/Main Street intersection in the City of Winooski. This is all depicted on the Project plans, as amended during the course of the Project. On May 30, 2012, VTrans conducted a 19 V.S.A. § 502 public hearing at The Meeting House, located in Colchester, Vermont. After considering the objections, suggestions and recommendations received from the public at the hearing, VTrans has determined that there is a necessity for the Project, as that term is defined in 19 V.S.A. § 501(1). The purpose of the Project is to rehabilitate US 2/7 to comply with current highway design standards and replace outdated signal equipment. The Project will provide safer ingress and egress to and from US 2/7, improve traffic mobility, and enhance overall safety for the traveling public. VTrans believes that the following named persons are the owners of, or have an interest in the land and/or rights to be taken: I.
