Husband-and-wife organizers Adrian and Lina Tans are residents of Cambridge, Mass., who were in town visiting friends for the weekend. They promoted the protest by passing out ﬂiers at local co° eehouses, and word traveled fast. While all of the cyclists supported the cause, most seemed to enjoy simply providing some spicy street theater. Michael Nedell, a long-haired slam poet, author and former presidential candidate, painted silver stars on his nipples and wrapped himself in red, white and blue cords of tinsel for the ride. He pedaled a rusty red Schwinn, modiﬁed for the occasion. He added a basket to carry his clothes, “just in case.”

June 11 was World Naked Bike Ride Day, and a group of 20 or so brave bikers commemorated it by cycling nude through the streets of Burlington. According to worldnakedbikeride.org, riders in more than 50 cities worldwide pedaled to protest reliance on fossil fuels and to celebrate “the power and individuality of our bodies.” Burlington’s contingent assembled between 6 and 7 p.m. in the parking lot of Greener Pastures and Junktiques on North Winooski Avenue.

A Climate Change

fter suggesting last month that the planet is warming due to a “combination” of human and natural causes, Lt. Gov. PHIL SCOTT said Monday that he has studied up on the matter and has changed his view. In a July forum hosted by Reddit and Vermont Public Radio, the Republican gubernatorial candidate was asked whether he believed that climate change “is a manmade problem.” “I believe the science is real,” Scott responded during the online event. “Climate change is happening. And I believe as well it is a combination of man-made contributions as well as a natural phenomenon.” Most scientists would disagree with that assessment. According to NASA, the Environmental Protection Agency and the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, humans are largely responsible for the warming planet. Apparently, Scott has finally gotten the memo. “Everything I’ve read since [the forum] has shown me that scientists believe it is man-made, and I believe in science,” he clarified to Seven Days Monday afternoon. “So, you know, I evolve, as well. I am not a scientist — and I’ve never pretended to be.” Clearly not. Throughout his gubernatorial campaign, Scott has indulged climatechange deniers by arguing that it doesn’t matter what’s causing the existential planetary threat. Speaking on WDEV’s “Open Mike” radio show in June, the LG said that “whether it’s man-made or not is almost immaterial.” At a Vermont PBS debate in July, he said the climate could be changing “for many diffe ent reasons.” “There are many who think it’s caused by human behavior,” he continued. “There are some that believe it’s due to climate change on a changing worldwide basis.” Whatever that means. Even now that he’s “evolved” on the subject, Scott is still throwing a bone to the deniers. “Again, I have to acknowledge that there are many out there that don’t believe the science and believe that it’s part of the evolution of weather,” he said Monday. “Are those people wrong?” Seven Days asked. “I mean, you keep saying you have to ‘acknowledge’ those people. But if those people were saying that dinosaurs still roam the Earth, you’d probably say those people are not right. Do you think those people are wrong?” “Here’s what I believe: I believe that we should focus on what we can agree upon,” Scott said, arguing that most Vermonters

8/17/16 3:20 PM

OPEN SEASON ON VERMONT POLITICS BY PAUL HEINTZ

concur that the U.S. should reduce its dependence on foreign oil. “So, even those who may not adopt the premise that it’s man-made could agree that we should be energy independent.” Perhaps so. But according to Scott’s Democratic rival, former transportation secretary SUE MINTER, his argument is “problematic — particularly because it suggests that human activity does not need to be changed, and it suggests that we don’t need to take responsibility for what is a very serious global challenge.” Indeed. While Scott says he supports the state’s goal of obtaining 90 percent of its energy from renewable sources by 2050, he says he would do “nothing new” to actually reach that goal. “Nothing diffe ent than what we’ve been doing,” he said. Scott’s detractors clearly smell an opportunity to tag the generally moderate Republican as an extremist on the issue. Democratic Governors Association spokesman JARED LEOPOLD, whose organization may dump millions into the race, said

I EVOLVE, AS WELL. LT. GOV. PH I L S C OT T

Scott’s position “puts him right in line with [GOP presidential nominee] DONALD TRUMP and the national Republican Party — and out of step with everyday Vermonters.” In a Monday morning interview with Seven Days, Minter said Scott’s rhetoric “sounds like what I hear from climatechange deniers.” That night, during a Vermont PBS debate in Randolph, she pressed him further on the issue. “Phil, I know you’ve said that climate change is a problem,” Minter said. “But you won’t acknowledge that climate change is significantly driven by human activity — even though 97 percent of the world’s scientists and [former] Republican governor JIM DOUGLAS disagree with you on that point.” “Well, I think you’re getting confused, Sue,” Scott responded. “I actually believe myself that climate change is real, and it’s man-made.” Actually, Mr. Lieutenant Governor, it appears that you’re the one who’s been confused.

Scaredy-Tax While Democrats have been focused on Scott’s climate-change conversion, Republicans have been frothing at the mouth over what they see as Montpelier’s

devious desire to raise the price of gasoline by 89 cents per gallon. “The Carbon Tax Is Coming,” the Vermont GOP warned last week in an email to supporters. It “will be rushed through by Vermont Democrats” if they retain their majorities in the legislature, Vermont GOP chair DAVID SUNDERLAND said in July. “Between now and Election Day, the three Democratic candidates for governor are going to promote a devastating carbon tax,” executive director JEFF BARTLEY wrote last March. So is it true? Not really. In March 2015, 27 members of the Vermont House introduced legislation that would, over 10 years, ramp up an excise tax on gasoline, home-heating oil, natural gas and other fossil fuels. Ninety percent of the revenue raised would be returned to Vermonters through various tax reductions — and the remaining 10 percent would go to programs promoting energy efficienc and renewables. The bill, like most others, was sent to committee to die an inglorious death. Rep. MARY SULLIVAN (D-Burlington), a lead sponsor of the legislation, hopes to breathe new life into it when she returns to Montpelier next January. “Yes, definitel ,” she said. “I know there are several of us who plan to really continue pushing this.” They’ll be helped by Energy Independent Vermont, an advocacy coalition led by the Vermont Public Interest Research Group, which has collected more than 17,000 signatures in support. But that doesn’t mean the Democrats in charge want to see it happen. “No, I don’t think we’re ready to pass that now,” said Majority Leader SARAH COPELAND HANZAS (D-Bradford), who is running for speaker of the House. Minter agrees. “Vermont is not an island,” the gubernatorial nominee said, arguing that the state should look for a “regional solution” to reduce the use of carbon-emitting fuels. Minter hopes to expand the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, a nine-state compact designed to cap carbon emissions generated by power plants, so that it includes transportation fuels. “I am not supporting a carbon tax,” she said. “What I would like us to do is look to a much larger air shed and see the impact we have when we work together.” TOM HUGHES, a VPIRG employee who directs Energy Independent Vermont, calls Minter’s proposal “a step in the right direction.” But, he added, “I don’t think it’s

GOT A TIP FOR PAUL? PAUL@SEVENDAYSVT.COM

adequate to fully address the issue or make Vermont a leader on global warming.” This being an election year, Republicans aren’t letting the facts get in the way of a good scare tactic. “I haven’t heard Sue say that she is not in favor of a carbon tax,” Scott said. “But maybe that could be the case. I just haven’t heard that.” And I haven’t heard Scott say that dinosaurs don’t still roam the Earth.

Hope you enjoyed Monday’s gubernatorial debate. It may be the last of its kind. Earlier this month, Scott communications director ETHAN LATOUR released a memo declaring that the GOP nominee would participate in just eight debates — and only those that met certain criteria. They would have to be hosted by media organizations — not “special interest groups” — and would have to include Liberty Union Party nominee and retired Boston Red Sox pitcher BILL “SPACEMAN” LEE. “We’ve had a fair number of forums and debates thus far,” Scott explained Monday. “I’m not sure what new information we’re going to get.” Those new conditions threatened to kill that night’s debate in Randolph, because it was hosted by the Vermont-National Education Association and featured just Scott and Minter. Though Scott’s campaign signed off on the event last spring, it recently requested that Lee be added to the lineup. “Our board was very clear that the conditions we laid out in April, as we planned the debate, were the ones that would continue to be used,” said DARREN ALLEN, a spokesman for the teachers’ union. “The Scott campaign asked [to include Lee], and we declined.” AARP Vermont hasn’t been so lucky. According to state director GREG MARCHILDON, Scott’s campaign has said it plans to back out of the organization’s October 10 debate. “We are actively engaging the campaign in order to make sure that we can get the lieutenant governor to this debate,” Marchildon said. “We strongly believe that we have a commitment that we received in May to participate. And we take Phil at his word.” The Scott ultimatum has already had the desired effect at Vermont Public Radio, which generally excludes minor candidates. News director JOHN DILLON says the station prefers to include only those who “actually have a chance of getting elected to that position.” Doing so allows for “a really spirited back and forth between two people.” “But ultimately we agreed to that

condition, because it was that or no debate,” Dillon said. “The stakes were too high.” The former Statehouse correspondent says he questions whether Scott is really seeking inclusivity. “The political reporter in me wonders whether this is an effort to avoid a direct, 90-minute debate with his leading opponent,” Dillon said. According to the candidate, he’s not afraid of debating Minter. “No. No,” Scott said. “In fact, I think this will be easier than trying to have fi e or six people on a stage at one time. I think this will be more concise.” Wait, what? The guy who’s demanding that a third candidate take part in the debates thinks they’re better with fewer people? “He’s getting quite a bit of attention for being a former Red Sox player,” Scott elaborated. “If those devoted Red Sox fans decide they want to vote for him, they ought to know what he stands for.” At least Scott is willing to participate in eight debates. Last week, Republican U.S. Senate nominee SCOTT MILNE called on his opponent, Sen. PATRICK LEAHY (D-Vt.), to take part in at least four televised debates — on WCAX, WPTZ, Fox 44 and Vermont PBS. Leahy’s spokesman, JAY TILTON, refused repeated requests from Seven Days to respond to the challenge. “This is the fir t we have heard of this, so we will wait until we are contacted by Mr. Milne’s campaign before making any comment,” Tilton wrote last Wednesday. Reached Friday, Milne accused Leahy of “trying to dodge debates.” “I think he’s trying to win the campaign by being a chicken, and it’s very obvious,” Milne said. That was enough to prompt Tilton to finally respond. “Mr. Milne has added Trump-style name-calling to his substance-free campaign of negative attacks,” the Leahy flac said Tuesday. “The truth is, Scott Milne isn’t campaigning for the Senate. He is issuing a series of negative press releases.” Tilton added that his boss would deign to participate in just three debates: on VPR, Vermont PBS and Burlington public access station Channel 17. “Given [that] his opponent proposed four in his release to the media, this is a reasonable number with Sen. Leahy’s Senate schedule and other campaign plans,” Tilton argued. Seriously? After 42 years in the Senate, Leahy can’t find the time between ribboncutting ceremonies to debate his rival on the state’s commercial television stations? He wants six more years representing Vermont in Washington, D.C., but he won’t show up to more than three debates? Cluck, cluck, cluck! m

Fundraiser for a Utopian ‘Ubuntu’ Community Causes Stir in Bolton B Y ALI CI A FR EESE

SEVENDAYSVT.COM 08.24.16-08.31.16 SEVEN DAYS 14 LOCAL MATTERS

ALICIA FREESE

group of people involved in a “liberation movement” led by an eccentric South African man wants to establish a money-free community on the mountain in Bolton. Residents of the tiny slopeside town are trying to figu e out how to react. Behind the plan is a young couple, Krysta and David Mihaljevich. She describes herself as a medical intuitive — meaning she can use her intuition to fin the source of someone’s ailment — and a psychic reader; he identifies as a Reiki master and shamanic healer. Earlier this year, they opened the Lotus Lodge Inn, a wellness center on the Bolton Valley Access Road. In June, the couple began a more ambitious endeavor. They launched an online f undraiser seeking $500,000 to buy property to start an “Ubuntu” community in Bolton. Ubuntu communities are the brainchild of Michael Tellinger, a South Af rican man who describes himself as an “author, scientist and … a real-lif e Indiana Jones.” (Ubuntu is a Bantu term that roughly translates to “humanity toward others.”) Tellinger says he’s trying to pioneer a “postcapitalist social structure” without money or any f orm of trade, in which people share all resources. He calls this “contributionism.” His 2013 book UBUNTU Contributionism: A Blueprint f or Human Prosperity describes how to create communities based on this concept. Community members write the rules, and a council of elders of f er guidance. Tellinger has espoused some highly peculiar theories. In 2007, he published another book, Slave Species of the Gods. It makes the case that an extraterrestrial tribe created the human race to serve as slaves mining gold for them. A prolific user of YouTube, he claims in videos to have personally uncovered massive corporate fraud. Tellinger has also started an Ubuntu political party in South Af rica. By his own count, candidates mustered a minuscule 2,700 votes countrywide in municipal elections this August; he said the real goal is to bring media attention to the movement. The Mihaljeviches encountered

Tellinger and his Ubuntu Liberation Movement on the spiritually inclined website Gaia, where he has a video series. As they sat in the sof tly lit lobby of the Lotus Lodge on August 17, the couple spoke earnestly about why Tellinger’s contributionism philosophy clicked with them. Krysta said she’s long f elt that “the current structure isn’t working.” As an example of its failure, she cited the concentration of wealth among a small number of families. Krysta, 32, is spritely, with waistlength blond hair and ring-laden f ingers; David, also 32, has a reddish beard and wore a lotus f l wer T-shirt and Carhartts. The lodge of f ers the couple’s health services and those of an ayurvedic master who lives on the premises, providing ancient Indian healing treatments. The couple, who used to run a bed-and-breakf ast in Sedona, Ariz., also cook organic meals for guests. Af ter learning of Ubuntu, Krysta emailed Tellinger, told him about Bolton and of f e ed to “hold space” f or an Ubuntu community. He responded within 20 minutes, enthusiastic about the idea.

The blueprint f or setting up Ubuntu communities is uncharacteristically pragmatic, relying on the very thing the movement seeks to eradicate: money. “It kind of takes money to be f ree f rom money,” Krysta said, noting that she and David plan to use revenue f rom their inn, in addition to f undraising. “Our intention is to give all of our prof it back to the [Ubuntu] community and start purchasing more property here to house more people who are in the same mind-set.” The only requirement f or joining the Ubuntu community will be a commitment to work at least three hours each week on a community project, she explained. Until they can produce their own energy, f ood and other resources, people will probably keep their day jobs. Tellinger provided a YouTube video f or the f undraising page in which he urged Ubuntu acolytes to contribute to the purchase: “We have an unbelievable opportunity to acquire a piece of land — and virtually a whole town, if one looks at it f rom that perspective — that could become, in essence, the f ir t Ubuntu village or Ubuntu community in

the USA that operates on the principles of contributionism. Bolton Valley, Vt., is the venue, and we need $500,000 to purchase the rest of the land to make this a reality.” The video, posted on the f undraising page, caught the attention of Bolton residents, who were taken aback by his suggestion that the entire town could be “acquired.” Asked about his statement, Krysta said Tellinger had gone of f script and said they have no intention of somehow buying all of Bolton. Another cause f or concern among residents: Originally, the online f undraiser stated that the goal was to buy Bolton Valley Resort. The reference was recently removed. The resort, which of f ers downhill skiing f rom a 3,150-f oot summit and a large network of Nordic and backcountry trails, changed hands f i e times in quick succession bef ore Doug Nedde and Larry Williams took it over in 2007. It is the lifeblood of Bolton, providing a solid property-tax base, employment and backyard recreational opportunities for the town’s 1,200 residents. The value of the businesses and condos on the mountain are closely tied to the resort’s success. “We’ve been improving our f ina cial prof itability every year,” Nedde reported, except f or last year’s season, plagued by a lack of snow. But since at least 2010, he and Williams have wanted to sell it. Both men are experienced real estate prof essionals, but, according to Nedde, ski operations f all outside their respective “core businesses.” In an interview last week, Krysta and David downplayed the possibility that they might buy the resort, which includes a 200-room hotel. “If we did come up with the money we needed, there’s a chance that we might collectively purchase the resort as Ubuntu,” Krysta said, noting that it could provide a significan source of revenue to support the community. But, she emphasized, they have no agreement with the owners and are also looking at land elsewhere on the mountain. In a separate interview, Nedde echoed Krysta. “They know we’re open to selling the resort,” he said. But, “I can tell you we don’t have a purchase and sales agreement with them.” Nedde

they’ve raised only $15,000 from 145 supporters — just 3 percent of their goal — but Krysta said that contributions outside the online platform have brought the total closer to $250,000.

As for the resort, Nedde said, “We continue to try to find an established ski resort operator that is interested in buying Bolton Valley.” Bolton residents are keenly interested in the fate of the resort — and the mountain it sits on. They’ve notified their town officia , who are so far refraining from publicly weighing in on the Ubuntu proposal. “We haven’t had a chance as a board to really discuss it, and we haven’t read anything formal from Ubuntu or Lotus Lodge,” said selectboard vice chair Josh Arneson, who is also vice president of sales and marketing for Bolton Valley Resort. Selectboard chair Jen DudleyGaillard said, “I have not heard which parcel they are hoping to purchase and doubt that the whole of Bolton Valley Resort would be for sale for only $500,000.” Despite skepticism, people are signaling that they’d like more information. “My personal opinion is that there should be some community outreach and some involvement with the town, and there hasn’t been,” said Stephen Diglio, who is chair of the town’s Development Review Board. Krysta said they were caught off guard by the publicity — several news outlets recently learned of the couple’s plans — and felt unprepared to go public with what was still a conceptual plan. She pledged to be transparent and noted that she and David are getting ready to send a letter explaining their plans to Bolton residents.

She came in third in a two-seat district centered around Morristown and Worcester, losing by 215 votes. A f ew days later, Young’s local Progressive Party committee nominated her f or the same of f i . She’ll be back on the ballot in this November’s general election, competing against two Democrats who defeated her in the primary, along with a Republican and an independent. The 53-year-old Morristown resident didn’t think twice about taking another shot at the legislative seat. “I’m determined to speak f or unrepresented people,” she said. “Nobody [else] is talking about getting corporate contributions about of politics.” Some Democrats see such a strategy as gaming the party system — and risking handing the election to a Republican. “I think it’s a bit disingenuous,” said Vermont Democratic Party executive director Conor Casey. “I would say, ‘Choose a party and stick with it.’” Young is one of three House candidates across the state who lost in a Democratic primary but are returning as Progressives in the general election. Casey thinks the law should be changed to bar candidates from double-dipping. Progressive Party chair Emma Mulvaney-Stanak defends the practice. “Vermonters want more choice, not less,” she said. “There are serious limitations to the two-party system.” It’s the latest development in the tense relationship between Vermont Progressives and Democrats that has been evolving for decades. A growing number of candidates are opting to straddle the two parties, noting that Democrats and Progressives share many policy goals. At times, the parties have worked collaboratively, but feelings of mistrust remain. The dustup over the House races came as Ds and Ps delicately negotiate how strongly Democrats will support Sen. David Zuckerman (P/DChittenden), a longtime Progressive who earlier this month won both parties’ nominations for lieutenant governor. Perhaps it is only natural that, in the year when Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.)

becoming the Progressive Party in 1991, the group of lef t-leaning political activists has grown from its Burlington base to a statewide f orce. Today, six House members, three senators and state Auditor Doug Hof f er carry the Progressive label. But some wonder whether Progressives are building a party or borrowing one. Terry Bouricius, a former Burlington city councilor and state representative, was among the Progressives’ f ir t successful candidates. The party was meant to be an alternative to the two major parties, he noted, and he’d like it to stay that way. “The Democratic and Republican parties are f undamentally controlled by corporate interests. The parties themselves are unre f ormable,” Bouricius said. A generation fa ter he served, Progressives increasingly rely on a f usion strategy to get elected. No Progressive has ever reached an of f ic higher than the House without running in a Democratic primary. “I worry that it’s not a long-term strategy that can build a strong,

independent third party,” Bouricius said. Mulvaney-Stanak argues that Progressives are criticized no matter what strategies they use. “You can’t please people,” she said. The Democratic-Progressive f usion strategy dates back more than a decade. In 2003, Burlington’s Progressive mayor, Peter Clavelle, added the D to his ballot line while running for his last citywide term. “By and large, I shared the same political perspective as those left of center in the Democratic Party,” he said. Progressives considered him a sellout, and Democrats questioned his credentials, Clavelle recalled. In the next year, 2004, Clavelle ran for governor solely as a Democrat. Though the party shift raised eyebrows, Clavelle f aced no opposition in the Democratic primary. Few were interested in the chance to be soundly def eated by f ir tterm Republican governor Jim Douglas Fusion candidacies go over more easily, Clavelle said, if the candidate plays nice with the borrowed party. “If you opt to work with the party, I think there has to be a truce of sorts,” he said. “You need to be diplomatic.” Truces and diplomacy can be tricky, however. Years of hard feelings linger as Ps and Ds each blame the other for past transgressions. In 2002, Progressive Anthony Pollina and Democrat Peter Shumlin split the liberal vote in a lieutenant gubernatorial race that Republican Brian Dubie won. When Pollina ran f or governor six years later as an independent, he reveled in outperf orming Democrat Gaye Symington, even though Republican Douglas soundly defeated both. In 2010, Progressives opted against running a candidate for governor to clear the way f or Shumlin, only to watch the Democrat later abandon his promise to provide universal health insurance. Progressives still feel so burned by Shumlin that the party this year declined to back Democratic gubernatorial candidate Sue Minter — or anyone else in the race.

ater conditions in St. Albans Bay have been strange this summer — strangely clean. On hot days in July and early August, dozens of people actually swam at the town beach, which in past years has been frequently closed on the dog days of summer due to stinky and potentially toxic outbreaks of blue-green algae caused by phosphorous pollution. Now some say this summer’s pattern suggests the lake could respond quickly to reductions in phosphorous runo˜ . Granted, the slime on the surf ace of the water is ﬁnally arriving; last week it showed up in several places on the northerly bays of Lake Champlain. But many residents say this summer has been more like the old days when they didn’t worry that algae would shut down swimming and boating f or weeks at a time. “This year has been golden. It’s almost like nobody wants to talk about it; it’s just, ‘Hold your breath,’” said George Boomhower, who owns a camp on the Georgia shore. He has f ound the water clean enough f or swimming almost every day. But last Thursday af ternoon, in the wake of heavy rain the prior weekend, he looked on glumly as his neighbor Cathy Hickory held up a jar of lake water she had just collected o˜ their shared beach near Melville Landing. It was speckled with green particles from an algae bloom. Hickory, like many others who live on the bay, was intrigued by the blooms’ timing. “We’re a month behind last year,” said Hickory, a retired postmaster who volunteers as a water observer for the Lake Champlain Committee, which works to restore, study and protect Lake Champlain. Another volunteer, retired plumbing and heating technician Brad Gooding of St. Albans, is accustomed to seeing blooms by early August — but hasn’t this year. “I have a boat, so I go out all the time — three or f our times a week,” he said. “This year has been fantastic.” His question: “What the hell’s going on?” Scientists and environmentalists are watching carefully and trading theories. One of them is that the unusually light snowpack last winter and relatively light spring runo˜ carried lower-than-normal

Seeing green? Blue-green algae can produce toxins that are harmful to humans and animals — hazards that gained attention in Vermont in 1999 after two dogs died following exposure to cyanobacteria. ˜ e algae can cause skin rashes and stomachaches; long-term exposure has been linked to liver damage and central nervous system problems. It can be tricky to tell cyanobacteria from run-of-the-mill pond scum. Some experts say to use common sense and avoid green water. For bloom reports, go online to healthvermont.gov.

loads of algae-triggering phosphorous into the lake. This theory could provide new impetus to the push f or stricter controls on key phosphorous sources: manure and f ertilizer that wash into the watershed f rom f arms, and stormwater that ﬂows over lawns, parking lots and roof s in developed areas. “This summer’s observations might suggest that we can see changes quicker than we expected if we can really reduce the nutrients,” said Angela Shambaugh, aquatic biologist at the Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation. “It certainly has caught my eye and a lot of people’s eyes, and we will be looking at the data more closely.” Others agree. “I think this gives us some hope,” said Rebekah Weber, the Conservation Law Foundation’s expert on Lake Champlain. She and others note that St. Albans and Missisquoi bays are especially interesting labs for the debate about controlling runo˜ because both have high concentrations of “legacy phosphorous” built up over decades in the sediments on the bottom and onshore. Under certain conditions the sediments release that phosphorus back into the water. For this reason, some scientists believe the two bays pose an especially di˝ cult cleanup challenge, or are lost causes. “It’s an interesting question,” Weber said. “Because we’ve been told time and time again that there’s so much legacy phosphorous in the soil that it doesn’t really matter what the stormwater is contributing f or that season, and that we’re going to have blooms f or generations to come.” This summer’s situation suggests that the relationship between legacy phosphorous and algae blooms is more complex, Weber said: “It warrants f urther questioning and further observing.” High-alert readings in St. Albans Bay and Missisquoi Bay f rom May 1 to August 15 ran well below last year’s. However, since August 15, blooms have been reported in both bays. Until the summer is over, the data is considered preliminary. Skeptics say this summer’s trends are inconclusive and maintain that it will be di˝ cult, if not impossible, to clean up the bays.

Scott, Minter Showcase Stark Diffe ences in First Debate If the first forum featuring the two majo party candidates for Vermont governor is any indication, the 2016 general election campaign will be a relatively civil debate with stark differences between the Democrat and the Republican running for the state’s top job. But the event revealed that the candidates share some similarities, too, including on issues that seemed to surprise the audience Monday night in Randolph. Asked whether transgender students should be able to use the bathrooms of their choice in schools, both Democrat Sue Minter and Republican Phil Scott said they should. “Absolutely,” Minter answered. “The answer is es, I believe they should,” Scott said, followed by murmurs from the crowd — suggesting some hadn’t expected the Republican to agree. Scott and Minter agreed, too, that the state shouldn’t prohibit public school teachers from striking.

But when it came to many of the key issues the next governor will face — state budgeting and taxes, the future of the Vermont Health Connect insurance exchange, and wind power — Minter and Scott gave markedly different answers. Both resolutely stood their ground as each challenged the other. Scott, who sometimes struggled to clearly defend himself from blistering attacks in the primary election from rival Republican Bruce Lisman, showed signs that he had found new footing. Scott, 58, of Berlin, repeatedly said he would oppose any effort to raise taxes. Minter, 55, of Waterbury, said she may raise taxes to address the state’s challenges, defending her plan to increase a bank franchise fee to help fund two years of free public college tuition for Vermont students. At least six more forums between the candidates are scheduled, with more in the works.

proposals are stricter than the current ones — with expanded buffer zones and some broadening of the livestock exclusion. Jim Leland, director of agriculture resource management at the ag department, said he believes enforcement has been “robust” and predicts the new rules will “make a diffe ence.” In St. Albans, many shoreline residents believe that more aggressive farm regulations are overdue. “If you want to have a clean lake, you have to address ag runoff,” said Steve Cushing, a former dairy f armer who has a home on St. Albans Bay. For a long time, politicians refused to acknowledge farm runoff, he said. “It’s political, and no politician was going to risk the sacred cow of Vermont,

He’s convinced that St. Albans Bay can be cleaned up and, like some of his neighbors, supports the theory that this summer’s low runoff, low-bloom scenario could indicate that aggressive curbs on phosphorous are the way to make it happen quickly. “You would see a rapid change in the water quality,’’ Cushing said. “That’s my belief.” m

primaries and are running in the general election as Progs who are causing a stir. Carl Etnier came in second in a fi eway Democratic primary f or an open House seat in East Montpelier — 219 votes behind winner Kimberly Jessup. Etnier plans to return as a Progressive in November. “I think I have a good chance of winning,” he said. “A lot of people voting in November didn’t vote in the primary.” Etnier, a f ormer Progressive Party State Committee member and town chair, said he’s been active in both parties, including as a phone bank volunteer f or Minter, the Democratic gubernatorial candidate. But straddling parties isn’t easy. Both demand loyalty. Etnier won the Progressives’ support by pledging allegiance foremost to that party. Traven Leyshon, chair f o the local Progressive committee, said the group chose Etnier over Jessup because he promised to caucus with the Progressives, while Jessup said she would caucus with Democrats. Democrats are too willing to compromise on issues such as universal health care, Leyshon argued. Jessup, a f ir t-time candidate seeking to replace retiring Rep. Tony Klein (D-East Montpelier), said she wanted to work with both parties, but she didn’t waver on which came fir t. “I ran in the Democratic primary because I am a Democrat,” she said. Leyshon said the Progressive committee weighed whether Etnier’s presence on the ballot could split the ticket and help a Republican win. The panel

decided the Republican wasn’t a credible threat, he said. Nonetheless, Klein was inf uriated that Etnier had chosen to “take two bites at the apple.” “If you’re a Progressive because you seem to be dissatisf ied with what the other parties represent, then you should run in the Progressive primary,” Klein said. A similar sentiment emerged with Young’s candidacy in the Morristown/ Worcester district. There, Republican Gary Nolan could prevail if the two Democrats and the Progressive split the liberal vote, according to Rep. Avram Patt (D-Worcester), who, with David Yacovone, won the Democratic nomination in the two-seat district. Young defended her Progressive candidacy, saying she didn’t get a fair shake in the Democratic primary because she was excluded f rom a candidate f orum the party hosted. Ginny Burgess, the Morristown Democratic Town Committee chair, said Young was kept out f or good reason. Organizers asked the candidates to commit to supporting whoever won the Democratic primary, and Young declined. “This was a f orum f or Democratic candidates,” Burgess said. “It’s simple.” With Democrats and Progressives, it’s never simple. m Disclosure: Tim Ashe is the domestic partner of Seven Days publisher and coeditor Paula Routly.

Gail is treasured by those who knew her; she brought warmth, wisdom, generosity, patience and kindness to every encounter, no matter how difﬁcult or small. So many of us are better for having known her. Memorial service and interment was held on Monday, August 22, at Greenwood Cemetery, located on Burpee Road in Bristol.

McCraney is a new American playwright who has already garnered high acclaim. Best known f or his trilogy The Brother/ Sister Plays,, he was a Royal Shakespeare Company international playwright-inresidence and the recipiof the Whiting and ent of Steinberg Playwright awards, as well as the inaugural recipient of the New York Times Outstanding Playwright Award in 2009.

Green to stay involved with the Vermont nonproﬁt’s programming despite his f requent out-of -state gigs. And so JAG Productions was born. In a phone interview from his home in South Pomf ret, Green recalls that “I originally came up to Vermont to work with [Barnard’s] FABLE FARM and grow vegetables. I was just trying to recharge and get away from New York for a bit. I stayed.” That was almost ﬁve years ago. Green describes himself as, “like a lot of people, amazed by the natural beauty and the strong sense of community that Vermont has to o° er.” He soon became an integral part of the local arts scene, helping to create BARNARTS CENTER FOR THE ARTS in Barnard. Then he was recruited to work for ArtisTree. Marketing director TAYO SKARROW explains, “The theater program is still new, and we want to be able to grow it. Our main mission is to bring high-quality theater to communities that would not otherwise experience it.”

he Upper Valley will soon be home to a brand-new theater company, JAG PRODUCTIONS, with the tagline “Bold theatre that reﬂects the times.” Founder and producing artistic director JARVIS ANTONIO GREEN, who formerly headed a theater company at ARTISTREE COMMUNITY ARTS CENTER & GALLERY, is partnering with that local arts center on his latest venture. ArtisTree, an arts hub in South Pomf ret, o° ers classes in everything from ceramics to movement, and maintains an art gallery and perf ormance space in its renovated barn. In 2015, Green directed its inaugural production, Fiddler on the Roof. Since then, the South Carolina-born, New York-trained theater artist has had the opportunity to travel f or his own acting career.

f ter a long, hot summer that brought story af ter tragic story of police shootings of unarmed African Americans, the time is ripe f or a screening of Do Not Resist. Partly a chronicle of protests that f ollowed the 2014 death of

Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo., and partly a dissection of modern policing tactics, the 2016 documentary is the directorial debut of Craig Atkinson. The director, best known as cinematographer of Detropia, a moody documentary about the decline of

Detroit, will be present to take questions when Do Not Resist is screened this Thursday, August 25, by the Burlington Film Society and Vermont International Film Foundation. He’ll be joined at the Q&A by Burlington Deputy Police Chief Shawn Burke. Atkinson’s film presents a fly-onthe-wall position, with no talking-head analysis or overt messaging, but the portrait it paints of modern policing is not flattering. The documentary draws implicit connections between the increasingly military-style tactics — and equipment — of modern law enforcement and incidents like the one in Ferguson. We watch as a popular seminar trainer at a police convention instills f ear of the “monsters” on the streets, then see how that fear plays out in a SWAT raid that yields little more than a small-time pot bust. One expert

suggests that, as criminal-profiling software becomes more sophisticated, cops will soon be poised to arrest you f or a crime bef ore you’ve committed it. (One wonders if he’s seen Minority Report.) In a director’s statement on the film’s website, Atkinson notes that his father was a cop in the Detroit area for 29 years. “What I wasn’t familiar with … was the e° ect the War on Terror had on police work,” he writes. “Making this film was an attempt to understand what had changed.” One thing that’s changed is that police departments have stocked up on heavy-duty tools of war, with the help of the U.S. Department of Defense surplus-equipment program. Do Not Resist covers the rise of military equipment such as mine-resistant ambush protected vehicles in policing — a

After a summer in which public anger and grief have run at a high, perhaps the doc — and discussions following the screening — will serve more as an instructive postmortem than as a wake-up call.

(As of September 2015, the Burlington Police Department no longer accepts equipment from that federal program.) “Our access [to law enforcement] seemed to be directly tied to the amount of negative press the police were getting at that time,” Atkinson writes about making the ﬁlm. “The urgency of the situation, however, motivated us to continue.” Not yet in national release, Do Not Resist won the Best Documentary Feature award at New York’s Tribeca Film Festival.

But about that half hour: Finding Unadilla requires good directions, an element of trust and a sense of adventure. After we turned offRoute 14 onto Max L. Gray Road, the journey began to feel like a wild goose chase. Is Google doing that thing where it takes me to some unknown location in the opposite direction from my destination? I thought more than once. Pavement turned to dirt long before we spotted a sign assuring us that Unadilla Theatre did indeed lie ahead. Five miles down a road that winds through woods and former farms and sometimes opens up to spectacular vistas, there it was. Instantly we understood what all the Unadilla f uss was about. My party unpacked its picnic, ignoring the threat of showers, and settled in to dine. Unadilla actually consists of two venues. Though we opted to see Hay Fever, David Mamet’s Boston Marriage was playing, as well — seven shows have been presented in repertory over the summer. Bef ore the 7:30 show, I got a chance to sit down with owner-artistic director Bill Blachly and hear his story. He arrived at this little homestead in the 1960s, I learned, and launched the theater in 1979. In 2012, he added the second building and named it Festival Theatre. Now 92, Blachly was born in New

I even relished the drive home, which gave my f amily and me a chance to talk about our shared experience. Unadilla reminded me why theater is my f avorite art f orm: Because the experience is so ephemeral. No two live perf ormances will be exactly the same.

admit it: Theater is my all-time f avorite art f orm. No, I don’t mind driving more than an hour to see a show. Why yes, I would like to see a 1920s English farce tonight. The performance space is barebones? Fine. Bring it on. Prof essional theater is thrilling, but when actors, directors and technicians volunteer their time and energy to create other worlds onstage, and f or of ten-modest audiences, the result can be an utterly charming and memorable experience. That’s why I f ollowed a recommendation and traveled an hour and a half f rom Burlington to a lost-in-the-woods venue in rural Marshf ield: Unadilla Theatre. The show? Noël Coward’s Hay Fever. And, like many a Vermont newbie before me, I found that a trip to Unadilla involves more than just seeing a play. It’s yet another way to take in the state’s natural beauty — longhaired cattle graze placidly in a bucolic pasture behind the theater — as well as its residents’ sense of community and commitment to weaving the arts into everyday life. Tables scattered outside the theater invite a romantic date night, a picnic with f riends or, in my case, a unique outing with visiting in-laws. All this at a community theater just a half hour or so from the state capital.

During World War II, Blachly spent most of his Navy deployment in the Pacif ic. Af ter the war, he attended Oberlin College and worked as an administrator at Brandeis University. Eventually, though, he decided to “chuck it all and live in Vermont like a hippie.” “I was milking cows at the time, but there was no f uture in that f or me,” Blachly said. “We were looking for an alternative way to make more money, and I had always been interested in theater, so my wife and I thought we would open our own.” When I noted that his farmstead was a bit out of the way for a theater, Blachly retorted, “We think we’re at the center of the universe! It’s only you f olks in Burlington who think this is out of the way!” Blachly and his longtime partner, Ann O’Brien, host two shows a night Thursday through Sunday, and generally six or seven dif f e ent plays each summer. They of f er silent and classic films on onday nights. As for our show, Coward’s farce Hay Fever — which he reportedly wrote in three days in 1924 — was good fun. Each actor in the nine-person ensemble had inspired moments: Jenny Gundy’s rendition of the mother, Judith Bliss, contained the perfect degree of melodrama, while Aaron Aubrey, as her would-be lover, showed ideal comic timing. Another delight was Sally Gundy, who played the housemaid, Clara. She stole the show simply by delivering a tray of tea and answering the doorbell. The production might not have won universal critical acclaim, but that didn’t matter. The cast seemed to have a great time together, looked lovely in their period costumes, and moved about the set with ease and comf ort. About 40 patrons in the 100-seat house laughed generously at Coward’s zany characters. During intermission, we browsed the used-book sale, apparently a staple of Unadilla, and bought cookies that O’Brien had made earlier. After the show, we made our way to the car in darkness. While the sky was not ideal f or the anticipated meteor shower, a strong white moon illuminated the gray clouds — the only light

slightly out-of-body feeling associated with meeting a famous person that you admire, particularly a performer. Eugene Hütz is one of the founders of Gogol Bordello and the band’s exuberant front man. His music has been described as “gypsy-punk,” which I guess is as good a label as any. He’s a buoyant, joyous performer, and his songs evoke his Ukrainian/Romany

I GOT THAT GIDDY, SLIGHTLY OUT-OF-BODY FEELING ASSOCIATED WITH MEETING A FAMOUS PERSON THAT YOU ADMIRE, PARTICULARLY A PERFORMER. “My condolences,” I said. I have no idea where this shot of unJernigan-like snark came from. I could blame it on the heat if I’m grasping for an excuse. “Why do you say that?” “Jeez, I didn’t really mean it,” I backtracked. “New York’s great. All that compressed creative energy. I grew up there.” “Well, I’ve lived in the East Village for 20 years, and I love the place.” That’s when it dawned on me. “You’re a musician, right?” “I am,” he said. “And your band?” “Gogol Bordello.” “I knew it. You’re Eugene.” He confirmed my goofy ID with a gracious smile, and I got that giddy,

heritage. On top of his musical career, Hütz has had a few acclaimed dramatic roles in movies. The guy is just a fla -out creative powerhouse. And his Vermont connection? I believe Eugene and his folks landed here as refugees in the early ’90s when he was a teen. I said, “I’m friends with an old pal of yours, Justin Jankovic.” “Oh, sure, Justin. How do you know him?” “Actually, I’m friends with his mom, Zala.” “Yeah, Zala is great. She’s from Slovakia, if I recall.” “Close,” I said with a chuckle. “Slovenia.” “Anyway, Justin’s a beautiful guy and an awesome musician. He’s a

bassist with his own unique style. You can’t learn this, the way he plays. It doesn’t come from studying.” “I know what you mean. It comes from the soul, I think.” “That’s it, brother.” “You know,” I said, “Justin is a beautiful guy, but he struggles with drugs.” Eugene nodded thoughtfully and said, “Everyone I know in New York struggles with drugs.” With that sobering reflection floating in the air, we pulled onto the airport grounds and came to a stop in front of the terminal. As I unloaded his bags, Eugene waited at the curb, guitar in hand. I got the feeling it was more than an instrument to him; it was a talisman. No wonder he kept it close. After paying the fare, he asked me my name. When I gave it, he warmly shook my hand. In that moment, faceto-face, I fully experienced his presence — he was that open and available. Looking in his eyes, I felt his peacefulness and kindness, but I also sensed the wild gypsy spirit that flowed through him. Driving back to town, I wondered: Is it too late in life to get a gold front tooth? And, while I’m at it, maybe a couple of tattoos? m All these stories are true, though names and locations may be altered to protect privacy.

he trouble with air conditioning is, it works too well. This was my thought as I sat in my taxi in front of a condo on Patchen Road waiting for a customer going to the airport. He wasn’t emerging from the house and hadn’t responded to my “I’m out here” text. The indicator on my dash informed me of the outside temperature: 94 degrees. The next step would be to exit my delightfully frigid metal cocoon into the pizza-oven afternoon and knock on the guy’s door. I so didn’t want to do that, but that’s the job. The door was up a walkway on the side of the unit; a garage stood in front. Just as I knocked, I heard the clicking of a rising garage door, and a voice called out, “I’m around here!” The man’s accent sounded Russian — or perhaps Eastern European? He was exiting the garage with a wheeled suitcase and a backpack, which he helped me load into the trunk. A tall, slender man, he had shoulderlength, shaggy brown hair and a gold tooth — an upper-left incisor, if I know my teeth. His shirt was open nearly to his waist, secured by a single button and exposing his bare chest. A rakish look, indeed, but somehow it seemed natural and unaffected on this man. “Just let me grab my guitar, and we’re good to go,” he said. Closing the trunk, I took the opportunity to jump back into my mobile fridge, figuring he’d want the instrument in the vehicle with him as opposed to jangling around with the luggage. He came

Dear Cecil,

Incontinence products seem to be everywhere these days. When did the ﬁrst diapers speciﬁcally for adults become commercially available? Rachel Newstead

f they aren’t everywhere yet, they will be soon. The bladder-control biz expects to waterproof more geezers than tots within the decade, as birth rates dip and the baby boom grays still further. Adult incontinence soaked up $1.8 billion in proﬁts last year, and the market could grow nearly 50 percent by 2020. Pretty good for a business that not so long ago could hardly get anyone to admit they needed its product. Whether caused by childbirth, strenuous exercise, traumatic injury or just plain aging, incontinence is nothing new, and ancient medical tomes reveal that folks have always sought means of keeping their downstairs dry. The Ebers Papyrus, an Egyptian text from 1550 BC, discusses the condition and methods for treatment: for men, external urine-collection devices; for women, vaginal inserts to provide compression. Over the following three-plus millennia, doctors mainly reﬁned these concepts rather than improved on them, unless you call the 18th-century penile clamp an improvement. Meanwhile, babies had been going about their business as babies will, and parents had been using all manner of materials to

keep their children’s output in check. By the end of the 1800s, mass production of the basic diapering elements — fabric squares and safety pins —„was well under way. Cloth diapers would remain the norm for decades until WWII shook things up. Women working the homefront assembly lines began using diaper services rather than washing their own, and with cloth in as short supply as time was, various inventors contributed to the evolution of the disposable diaper as we now know it. While the boys were heading home from overseas to breed a record number of Americans, Johnson & Johnson was developing what would become the first disposable diapers massmarketed in the United States. The fighting may have ended in 1945, but the Cold War was just beginning, and so was the space program. NASA learned the hard way that astronauts have the same biological needs as anyone else when Alan Shepherd wet himself while waiting for the Freedom 7 launch in 1961. Extraterrestrial dominance was deemed necessary for the preservation of democracy and capitalism, and our flyboys could hardly kick Soviet keister wearing

pee-stained spacesuits. At this point America’s astronauts were all men, meaning urine could thereafter be easily collected in a bag or via a sheath-tube-pouch arrangement, while a larger bag attached with adhesive took care of No. 2. Once NASA started putting women in orbit, though, the diœerences in female plumbing required new gear. The zip-up trunks ﬁrst issued were soon replaced with Maximum Absorbency Garments, treated with sodium polyacrylate to absorb liquid, and these proved so eœective that male astronauts started wearing them, too. Space-shuttle astronauts got three —„one for launch, one for reentry and one because you never knew what might happen in space. NASA super-diapers entered the pop-cultural consciousness in 2007, you’ll recall, when former astronaut Lisa Nowak, arrested in Orlando for an alleged attempt to kidnap a woman she apparently viewed as a romantic rival, reportedly told police she’d worn them so she could make the drive to Florida from Houston nonstop. But that’s all ﬁne and good for astronauts —„ what about poor old Grandma back on Earth? Commercially available

adult incontinence products were slow to arrive, in part because the embarrassing nature of the ailment made marketing a tricky task.

the adult-incontinence market today. No medical condition is too embarrassing to talk about on the tube in 2016, and KimberlyClark’s recent campaigns have capitalized on this new frankness. The Depend line has also grown to include sleeker, more fashion-friendly incontinence underwear, now modeled by younger (and presumably continent) actors and athletes to show how undetectable they are. There’s never been a better time to be a style-conscious senior with a decreasingly cooperative bladder.„ For baby boomers, the expansion of the incontinence industry serves as a fitting bookend to their generational saga. They were the first kids to be regularly swathed in disposables, after all, and the ever-upward march of commercial diaper technology has taken place almost entirely in their lifetimes. Montage directors may choose to focus on civil rights and Vietnam and Buœalo Springfield, but the story of the U.S. baby boom is just as much one of stinky plastic diapers.

SEVEN DAYS: Why bike porn? PHIL SANO: I like to think of the origins of the f estival in relation to the origins of mobility and sexuality. Even though we’re not accustomed to combining the two, there’s never been a time that they’ve been separate. We’ve benefited a lot f rom being able to do things like move faster, because that’s what resulted in not being killed. When we were young primates, either you got dinner or you were dinner, based on how f ast you could move. The longer you can live, the longer you can procreate, the more sex you have, the more appealing you are. It’s not like I want to live in a society that requires you to run fast to live, but, at this juncture in history, our technological abilities have superseded our natural abilities to have transportation be a meaningf ul part of our lif e. If you think of planes and how f ast they can travel, there’s a disconnect between yourself and the outside environment. The way that we organize our cities is a terrible twisting of our social space. There’s no greater example than cars. You’re in an isolated box; it’s climate controlled. Your chariot has all its comforts. It’s basically your mobile home, and it’s so isolating. People don’t even think about cars because they’re so dominant. That’s how you know when something is worth engaging [with], when people can’t even see its pervasiveness — that’s hegemony. SD: Where and when was the first Bike Smut show? How did it come about? PS: It started in Portland in 2007. I was a filmmaker myself. I got so frustrated with the prescribed method f or filmmakers, which is: Make a movie, submit to festivals, and, if you get lucky, someone contacts you, it plays, and maybe you

get to make another movie. The deck is stacked against you. I didn’t like dealing with the bureaucracy, and I didn’t like the way ﬁlmmakers were treated. It’s a huge cost to the artist, which doesn’t make any sense. Everything about it seemed ass-backwards. I had already done a ﬁlm festival on bikes and violence. I was a bike punk in Portland, and it was a huge part of my identity. I wanted people to see this new, blossoming community whose birth I had witnessed.

Cascadia, so we bought a car. We did something like 20 tours over these years. I was not planning on being an organizer. I don’t have great logistical skills. But I kept on doing it because the demand for the art was high. And the art was amazing. Every single year I think to myself, That’s it, I’ve seen it all. Every single year, I’m like, Holy shit, I never thought of that. I’ve never seen such spectacular, inspired art, so I felt a duty that was unparalleled. The burden was exclusively on me in this situation, because it didn’t

One of those was an hour of a guy riding°cyclo-cross [a type of bike racing]. No story, just raw footage. Not even edited.

SD: What’s the difference between Bike Smut porn and porn found on internet sites? PS: It’s art, and art usually has a little higher standards. It raises up the content to some degree. There’s some really cool stu˛ on those websites, too. It’s just that it’s in a sea of bullshit, and I don’t want to wade through that.

SD: Have your ﬁlms always been erotic in nature? PS: When I did art, if sex was involved, it wasn’t because I thought, I’m going to be an erotic artist. Deﬁning erotica in itself is an interesting process. We live with a patriarchy that says you don’t get to just have art of this genre without paying some kind of price. What are you trying to say with this? You need to have all these answers ready if you’re even going to approach a topic like [sex]. What about the children? I think children

and then, at the end, if you really pay attention, for the last 20 seconds you can see a small trickle of pee. Like, OK, that may be a little too avant-garde. But almost every movie that’s ever been submitted to us has been part of the program. We’re very proud of that. If it’s about mobility and sexuality, and part of sex-positive culture, then it’s usually great. We want to let the artists decide what needs to be in the program. The majority of people who are inspired to make such a niche kind of art are already fans of Bike Smut. If you see something not represented, then it’s up to you to create it. All you have to do is live out your f ucking

Then I thought, What about bikes and sex? And people were like, “Hey, this is a good idea! Here’s a way I could help; let me suggest this; can I be part of it?” It really took on a life of its own. I hadn’t really even promoted it, but by the time we got around to the premiere, the line was around the block, and the next block and the next block. Half the people couldn’t get into the show. Since it was so popular, we got a few people, and we rode our bikes with the show to Seattle and Bellingham [Wash.] and to British Columbia. I thought, I guess we have to do a sequel. Af ter a period of bike touring, it became obvious that we couldn’t do it this way beyond

SD: What do you consider “bullshit” porn? PS: Right o˛ the bat, there’s a lot of the same stu˛ . If you’re not talented with your search-engine skills, you’re going to ﬁnd a lot that’s f ormulaic and interchangeable: 30 seconds of intro, maybe; a lot of f ocus on male pleasure. There’s going to be a lot of f etishizing of the f emale’s body parts; the male is probably going to be dehumanized, with his head removed f rom the shot altogether. There’s less likely to be depictions of genuine pleasure. The arguments of people who criticize porn are not without some validity. There’s a lot of bullshit out there where it looks like it hurts the women in it. If this was the only porn you were watching, the only educator that you had, you’re gonna think that’s what sex is. That can be what sex is, but it’s pretty narrow. There’s two other main things that bother me. First is the need f or every single scene to be epic. I just want to have a good time. Does it have to be so life changing?

In one year over 12,500 animals were trapped & killed in Vermont for sport, small monetary gain, and to fuel the fur industry. Now trappers are requesting an extension of bobcat and otter trapping seasons, which means more needless deaths and additional stress to these already fragile populations.

having a bike light and assaulting an officer; the last charge was later dropped]. Comments on BikePortland.org said things like, “He was probably egging the cops on; we can’t trust him, he’s the type of person that would antagonize police.” It really was one of those moments where, if you haven’t ever been at the receiving end of that boot on your neck for being in the wrong place at the wrong time, then you can’t appreciate the situation. And I’ve got all the privilege! And even I can be extracted in an instant. A year or two earlier, I had been arrested during the World Naked Bike Ride. That’s a bit more of a lighthearted story. A drunk driver hit me with her car. She could claim more damages from the dent in her car than I could by being hit by her. But I won the case eventually — they dropped all charges.

SD: What do you hope people take away from Bike Smut? PS: What I think is really crucial is that we recognize that each of us has our own body and our own self. Such a huge part of our individuality is wrapped up in how we move and how we [have sex]. My theme for this year is “better problems.” You can’t live without having problems — what you can do is acknowledge that some problems are better than others. We should strive to have the best problems we can. People who are so horny at Bike Smut that they’re unable to restrain themselves — that’s a better problem. Not being able to engage the topic [of bikes and sexual expression] at all because of restrictive gatekeepers, that’s not such a good problem. One of the great things about [Bike Smut] is its approach to issues of taboo. There’s hardly anything more important than being able to address issues around sexual taboos. If we can’t talk about that, how are we going to talk about the things that are even more challenging?

SD: Why is this the last festival? PS: One of the things this festival has taught me is that you don’t want the person in the front of the house to be the person who’s in the back of the house. When it’s all the same person, you’re more likely to do a shit job at both things. I’ve had to do it this way for the past two years. The seventh year was the Porny Express. I bike-toured solo with my projector, cables, screen, merch and tent from Minneapolis to Montréal to Mexico. I was doing crazy-long rides all alone. It was a wonderful challenge, but the schedule was so crazy, I couldn’t have anyone else with me. I did another bike tour across Europe, and then tried doing a bus tour the following year — my knees were a bit shot. What occurred to me is that I’ve tried all these diffe ent systems, but they don’t actually change that much. It was always me. I’ve been the constant over the course of 10 years … and I actually might be what’s holding Bike Smut back. So the future of Bike Smut might be some sort of noncentralized distribution. It would be neat if local communities could step up to claim the methodology for themselves. I want to see proposals. I want to see people come at me with ideas. If I’m the only person who’s talking, that’s not accomplishing anything. We don’t need any more white cis-hetero male, college-educated, not-in-debt, stable-family-having voices. Most of the past decade, I’ve just been perpetually touring. Bike Smut did around 80 shows a year. I couldn’t affo d to keep a home. The only way

I could do this was to be essentially homeless. I’ve slowly bled off a small amount of inheritance by living a pretty frugal existence. I’m a bike punk; I can live very cheaply.

She was so inspired, she built a two-story sex bike as the centerpiece exhibit. It’s a spectacular way to memorialize a decade of bikesexual decadence.

ermont and Québec have plenty in common: 90 miles of a peacef ul border, a broad appreciation f or maple syrup, artisanal cheeses and classy booze. And poutine and hockey. But, unlike our majority-f rancophone neighbors who of ten learn English, many Vermontais have a limited grasp of French. “We’re so close to Québec, it’s a shame that more people don’t speak French,” says Nikki Matheson, a French teacher of French Canadian heritage. Yet f or adult Vermonters who do want to learn the language, the options are limited. Near the border and outside of Chittenden County, few post-secondary French language classes can be found. Many universities require their students to have studied a foreign language to be admitted, or to take a foreign language to graduate. Vermont state colleges do not, and three of the fi e schools currently offer no French classes. Unlike the University of Vermont, which offers extensive courses in French, Lyndon State College hasn’t held a French class in f our years; Johnson State College hasn’t held one for more than two years. Neither is offering F ench this fall. Community College of Vermont regularly of f ers one section of French at its Winooski location and will also hold the class in St. Albans, Rutland and Springf ield this semester. Currently, none of the schools of f ers a French major or minor. This does not paint a f lattering picture of Vermont’s cross-cultural student engagement — nor of the attitude Americans typically have about knowing any language other than English. Janet Bennion is a prof essor of anthropology at LSC and chair of the department of criminal justice, history and global studies — the department in which French would ostensibly be offe ed. The fact that foreign languages and criminal justice are in the same department underscores the reality of limited budgets and class of f erings at small state schools. Bennion says that French has not been offe ed at LSC because of political dif f e ences within the department. At every faculty meeting, she says, she asks about French classes, to little avail. “There has been some relatively

tense discourse about what [languages] should be offe ed,” Bennion says, noting that the school of f ers Russian but no other languages. But when she took a small survey of LSC students last spring, the majority of those interested in learning a foreign language preferred French or Spanish. “We have not accommodated students who want to speak French. It’s a crime; it’s horrible; it’s unethical,” Bennion asserts. “I have done everything possible, and I was able to of f er one class every other year.” In spring 2017, LSC will offer French I; taking it will fulfill students’ generaleducation requirement of a “cultural awareness” class. At Johnson State, it’s not just budget issues but lack of student interest that fuels the absence of French classes, according to interim dean of academic affairs Sharon Twigg. The school did offer a French class in f all 2014 and spring

2015, but both were canceled due to low or no enrollment. One likely cause is that, in 2014, language classes shif ted f rom f ulf illing a general education requirement to satisf ying an elective requirement. Twigg says that change was intended to give students more f l xibility in taking the classes they wanted. Nevertheless, she’d like to see f oreign-language education f ulf ill a general education requirement again. Former Johnson adjunct instructor Alysse Anton recalls those “let’s see in August” days when classes would be offe ed and then canceled. She has also taught French at Lyndon but now does so through Alliance Française of the Lake Champlain Region in Burlington and Access CVU in Hinesburg. Anton says that at Johnson she proposed a French-f or-travelers class that she thought might interest students, but it wasn’t approved. “New ideas are

dif f icul to be moved along in general, and in a college education system,” she says matter-of-factly. Anton notes that nearby Montréal is the largest majority French-speaking city in the world af ter Paris, and that students do travel there or to other parts of Québec, incentivized in part by cheap beer (also, the legal drinking age in the province is 18). But it’s not dif f icul to get around Montréal, or to buy a sixpack across the border, with little to no knowledge of French. Twigg says that students are aware of the importance of learning another language, but “getting them to actually do the nitty-gritty of working on the language” is another story. She notes that enrollment is up at Johnson this year, and the proposed merger with Lyndon State could expand class of f e ings, including French. Both colleges are set up to of f er distance learning; Twigg posits that it

Sterling College student Tofowa Pyle tending to chickens on the school's farm

ike most college students, Tofowa Pyle expects to pull an all-nighter or two before the end of the school year. But while students at most other colleges and universities burn the midnight oil writing term papers and cramming for exams, Pyle could be up until the wee hours tending to a pregnant sow or sick steer. A senior at Sterling College in Craftsbury Common, Pyle will soon take over as work adviser to the crew of students that cares for the school’s livestock. The sustainableagriculture major was hired f or the job in part because of his experience rearing farm animals in his native Guyana. To earn a bachelor’s degree at Sterling, Pyle must hold a job on or near campus. But tending to animals won’t be his only work requirement this f all. Like all 130 students at this tiny private college in the Northeast Kingdom, Pyle is also required to work in the kitchen, clean dorms or perf orm other f orms of menial labor that facilities staff or outside contractors would normally cover on other college campuses. Last semester, Pyle worked three mornings each week, from 6:30 to 8:30 a.m., making breakfast for fellow students and staff. He arranged his schedule so none of his classes started immediately afterward. “Nobody complains about the work they have to do,” he said. “Students here are all pretty chill.” Sterling College — whose officia motto is “Working Hands. Working Minds.” — is a f ederally recognized “work college,” the only one in the Northeast and one of just seven in the United States. That means every student living on campus must hold a job, regardless of f inancial need. That workload is in addition to any need-based work-study assistance they might receive. Sterling’s students choose from a variety of jobs, such as tutoring schoolchildren at neighboring Craftsbury Academy, working in the college admissions of f i , supervising the campus’ climbing wall or repairing mountain bikes. As in any workplace, competition can be fie ce for the more desirable positions; those requiring higher levels of skill or responsibility also pay more. But students’ wages — every job guarantees a minimum pay of$1,650 per semester — aren’t deposited into their checking accounts. They’re credited toward tuition. As a result, Sterling College costs students 20 percent less than do other private New England colleges. Students’ debt loads upon graduation are typically smaller, too — on average, $15,500 for a four-year

degree, compared with the national average of $31,200. In an era when so many college students struggle to make ends meet — and then spend years paying off tens of thousands of dollars in student loans — Sterling College is among a handf ul of colleges that have embraced a more economical model. Its policy reduces the overall cost of higher education, provides students with valuable life skills and résumé-building experiences, and levels the playing f ield f or those of more modest backgrounds. “Of course, it does help with the cost of education,” said Sterling College president Matthew Derr of the work-college program. But he added that the program’s benefits don’t end with practical concerns: “It also means that students’ entire college experience is colored by the opportunity to do meaningful work on campus and in the community.” The “work” in “work college” is readily apparent the moment one sets f oot on Sterling’s scenic, mountainous campus. Here, students are more likely to sport Carhartts and work boots than shorts and sandals, even on a humid August afternoon. On a recent visit, this reporter quickly spotted a female student toting a hard hat

in one hand and a chain saw in the other. Just down the hill in the barn, a gaggle of students stood beside a draft horse and listened to a lesson on how to size a harness. In an adjacent outbuilding, a lone student raked out a chicken coop. At Sterling, sustainability isn’t just a trendy buzzword but a philosophy that is incorporated into every aspect of campus lif e. The college has been ranked No. 1 in the country two years in a row in the national Real Food Challenge, which means that most campus meals are produced locally, sustainably, humanely and through fair-trade practices. About one-fifth of the f ood served, including f ruits, vegetables, meats, eggs and maple syrup, is grown or raised by students themselves. And this fall, Sterling will cut the ribbon on 11 new solar trackers, which will enable the campus to meet nearly all of its electricity needs through renewable sources. Sterling students tend to know what they’re signing up for. As a small rural college with a heavy emphasis on environmental stewardship and outdoor recreation, the institution naturally attracts students who are accustomed to getting their hands dirty. Emlyn Jones, a 28-year-old senior f rom a small f arming community in

northwestern Illinois, said he discovered Sterling through a Google search while he was on a six-month military deployment in Afghanistan in 2012. The GI Bill covers many of his college expenses; his campus jobs supply the rest. Jones’ campus employment has included work on a f orestry crew, which f ocuses heavily on maple syrup production. In the f all, the crew prepares the sugarhouse, then harvests, splits and stacks f i ewood. When the sap starts running in the spring, Jones said, “We drill lots of little holes in trees.” Jones said he chose Sterling specificall f or its work program, which of f e ed him the opportunity to learn to run the 200acre f amily f arm his mother inherited six years ago. “Coming here has really given me a good template on how to go about things,” Jones explained. “I come from a farming family, but I feel like we’re almost starting anew.” Other students arrive at Sterling knowing little about agriculture or the work program itself . Alice Haskins is a 21-year-old senior who will graduate in December with a double major in sustainable food systems and environmental humanities. She recalled that even her

urlington writer Angela Palm’s Riverine: A Memoir From Anywhere But Here won the influential annual Nonfiction Prize from her publisher, Graywolf Press. It arrives this month garlanded with advance praise, including starred reviews in Publishers Weekly and Kirkus Reviews and a Best Book commendation from Apple iBooks. A professional editor and writing coach, Palm is the founder of Ink + Lead Literary Services in Burlington, and she’s taught creative writing at Champlain College and the New England Young Writers’ Conference. Readers love memoirs, which oƒ er not only the sensation of walking in someone else’s shoes but sometimes even that of slipping into another person’s very thoughts. The essential ingredients of a memoir are engrossing life circumstances and a narrative voice that sounds convincingly immediate. We experience a memoir’s storytelling as we do that of a first-person speaker in a novel, but we’re invited never to forget that the events recounted truly happened. The narrative elements of Riverine are compelling. Palm was born and grew up in a rural Indiana farming community where a river had been forcibly rerouted. From time to time, the water would reclaim its ancient bed, flooding the countryside and destroying any pretense of permanence. When Palm was a teenager, her best friend was Corey, a next-door boy whose family perils and troubles at school led to more and more egregious misbehaviors. They culminated in the stabbing murders of two elderly neighbors and a life sentence in prison without parole. After college and various events, Palm’s narrator marries and becomes a parent; then she and her husband decide that they need to “reboot” their lives by moving to Vermont. From her new home, Palm reaches out to the incarcerated Corey, to whom she’s been writing unsent letters for years. (She shares none of these with the reader.) Eventually, Palm returns to Indiana to visit him in prison. The impact of their first encounter as adults afi rms the childhood friends’ ineƒ aceable connection. That visit also results in their

TO BRING HER READER INTO THE ROOM. mutual acceptance that they will live their lives separately as a consequence of unpardonable Corey’s crimes. Some memoirs, such as Mary Karr’s powerful The Liars’ Club, shift their perspective to show a narrator responding from diƒ erent vantage points in maturity to events that are sequenced dramatically but not necessarily “chronologically.” By contrast, Palm’s narrative moves step by step from childhood. Riverine also differs from memoirs that aim to convey the volatile perceptions of a younger person (as Frank McCourt did in Angela’s Ashes): Palm’s chronicler is positioned throughout as a presentday adult, looking back with running commentary. Essayistic prose is such a ﬂexible vehicle, able to turn rapidly or ﬂoat steadily — like a magic carpet. Yet, while there’s enchantment in reverie, the magical conveyance also needs to be aerodynamically sound, and too often Palm’s narration seems drafty, too loosely fashioned and aimed. Since her chapters don’t really stand

as self-contained essays, the story’s year-by-year progression can meander and stall in places, its pacing settling into, “Then this happened, then this, and then this.” And, because Palm has a penchant for summarizing events and relationships instead of dramatizing them, some stretches of the book read like ruminations scribbled in a journal, such as this one: I didn’t hear from Corey for a few months after that visit at the new house. He could have called, but didn’t, and he had no phone at the new place he was staying. By then he’d been in enough trouble that dating him would have been out of the question — my parents wouldn’t have allowed it. When it became clear that nothing would happen with Corey, I dated the ﬁrst boy I came across. I’d been hanging out with a girl named Kelly, and Trevor was her boyfriend’s best friend. It was a convenience match. He was cute and nice, so

apprehend what’s been lost, never to be recovered.

In some places, Palm uses conceptual devices to strengthen her narrative structure. A chapter titled “Dispatches From Anywhere But Here,” echoing the book’s subtitle, is sca€olded on the names of criminal-justice theories that Palm studied in college: “Broken Windows Theory,” “Routine Activities Theory,” “Biological Theory of Deviance” and so on. But the chapter su€ers from repeated references to people who aren’t introduced or vividly developed. We gain little understanding of how this young woman discovered (and invented) herself during the years that followed those unexplained murders committed by Corey, who remains a cipher though his name appears here and there in the chapter. The most powerful sections of the book involve Palm’s visits to the Indiana prison — ﬁrst with her mother to see an uncle who’s been locked up for attempted murder, then later to see Corey for the ﬁrst time in 16 years. In these more fully dramatized scenes, Palm uses quoted dialogue and intently observed details to bring her reader into the room and into the enormity of feelings at stake. The account of that climactic visit to Corey in prison pivots on a set of rules, stated without arty fanfare, that propel the personal narrative forward:

“We would have met in the middle,” I told Corey. “Half-bad, half-good. Half-reckless, halfrestrained. Maybe we would have saved each other.” He started to cry at that, but I watched him silently talk himself down from it. “You know, I used to watch you, too,” he told me. “From my window.” “No way,” I said. “Really?” “I did. Your room was always such a mess. I used to watch you brushing your hair or reading your books.” “That’s all?” I asked, remembering how I’d dressed in front of the window each night after my shower. He laughed and blushed. “No, that’s not all. My mom caught me once.” “So we were doing the same thing. And it wasn’t just me.”

In this chapter, Palm is ﬁnally able to communicate the tremendous and lasting power of time spent with a childhood intimate, while being speciﬁc and informative about the conditions of prison life. By holding her focus closely on the story, which here unfolds in a conversation under surveillance by guards, she allows us to see and feel much more than she could with a disjointed, years-later summary. As the two friends recall how, as teenagers, they would watch each other’s adjacent houses at night, a reader can

Every memoir is idiosyncratic, reﬂecting an author’s particular perceptions and manner of relating to the ingredients of a life over time. Palm is enamored of analogies for Riverine’s form, and she pro€ ers several, calling her structure “digressive” and “segmented” and comparing the book to a “patch-quilt” and “collage.” Yet her most moving and reverberating passages resist this habit of veering into digressions that summarize or philosophize. Unlike an autobiography, a memoir has no obligation to be comprehensive and lifelong. Yet page after page of Riverine seems to miss opportunities, wandering across the years and rarely focusing on what happened to Corey, or the impact of his crimes and incarceration on the narrator. The book would be more penetrating if its storytelling strategy had been more selective, concentrating on the question of how one childhood friend ended up imprisoned for life while the other wonders what might have been.

Because when it comes to getting fresh food into large markets, “Logistics and distribution are literally everything,” Jones said. “If you can’t get your stu˜ to the place, you’re going to be out of business really quickly. Trucks and drivers and schedules are hugely important.”

SUE NORTON

n 2010, Je˜ Jones was giving out f ree samples of greenhouse produce at South Burlington’s Healthy Living Market & Café. “Would you like to try a beef steak tomato?” Jones, then a partner at Vermont Hydroponic Produce, asked a passing shopper. “Is it local?” the customer asked. Jones explained that it was grown in Florence, Vt. “Not in Burlington?” the customer pressed. “No,” Jones said, reiterating that the tomato had been grown about 60 miles south. The shopper turned away without a word, Jones told Seven Days via phone last winter. The shopper’s reaction was rude. But more than that, it reﬂected a common tendency to hyper-localize f ood in a way that Jones sees as unrealistic and myopic. Now sales and marketing director at White River Junction-based UVP Group, he said, “I think we’ve made a huge mistake in how we’re marketing local.” It’s commonly understood that buying f ood f rom your neighbors supports the local economy. By reducing transport miles and emissions, it’s also a boon for the environment. And it connects consumers to what they’re eating in a very personal way. This system builds stronger communities, keeps working lands in production and helps preserve Vermont’s lovely agricultural landscape. But Jones is concerned that f ocusing on food production and distribution

Since the closure of Parkside Kitchen in April, Richmond has wanted for breakfast and lunch options. That’ll change this fall when RYAN and JESSICA BUNCE, co-owners of Burlington’s BARRIO BAKERY and PIZZA BARRIO, open ONE RADISH in the space at 39 Esplanade that housed Parkside and, before that, On the Rise Bakery. Ryan’s menu, still in development, will revolve around straightforward, easyeating fare crafted with locally sourced, seasonal ingredients. “We want it to be approachable, predictable and accessible to everyone in town,” Jessica tells Seven Days. Breakfasts will likely include the expected hash browns, eggs and scrambles, such as Mexican-style migas made with fried corn tortillas and tousled eggs. Lunch items such as pizzas, sandwiches, soups and salads will make ample use of the wood-fi ed oven and grill. The Bunces started considering the expansion after hiring a fulltime manager at Barrio

a year ago. “That really freed up my time to consider this an option,” says Jessica, who grew up in nearby Jericho. When they stepped inside the space, something clicked. Ryan had been dreaming of working with a wood-fi ed oven, and the kitchen was ready to go. “Everything is in beautiful condition,” Bunce says. With a little paint and new furniture, she adds, the space will soon have that warm and inviting neighborhood vibe for which Barrio Bakery is well-known. The Bunces plan to open One Radish for breakfast and lunch in October, then add dinner in spring 2017. Learn more at its Kickstarter page.

in Waterbury is on the move. It will close after service this Friday and reopen the following Friday, permits permitting, in a new home at 40 Foundry Street. The move continues the brand’s expansion and growth: Last year, owner DANIELLE NICHOLS opened a second location in Stowe. Nichols says her fi e-year lease on the original location had expired, and she was ready to put a fresh face on the business. The new spot will have 20 seats and a dedicated room for the wine store, separated from the bar by a hallway. Foundry Street also offers more in the way of kitchen facilities, though it lacks an oven or hood. “I think we could do some really cool stuff there,” says Nichols. “I’m interested in finding somebody who could take that on, think outside the box, and use induction burners and toaster ovens.” The food at the Stowe

To accomplish that, UVP is developing a “regionally responsible” protocol that connects regional f armers small and large with venues ranging from the University of Vermont Medical Center to the corner store.

Endless Summer By mid-July, most Vermont berry farms were nearing the end of their earlysummer strawberry season. A couple of hours south, Massachusetts f arms had ceased picking weeks prior. But when Seven Days toured UVP’s warehouse, shelving near the loading docks held dozens of cases of the plump red berries. They had arrived earlier that day on an overnight truck from Québec, where the summer fruits had just begun to ripen. UVP’s Eric Frechette f ounded Taste

of the North in the 1990s, after entering the produce business as a teenage doorto-door strawberry peddler a decade earlier. Later on, he paid his way through business school by f errying Canadian fruit to four IGA grocery stores in northwestern Maine. The money was good, so, even af ter graduation, he’d take summers off from his accounting job to sell berries. In 1994, Frechette linked up with a Québec tomato grower. “These stores were supporting me with strawberries,” he recalled via phone last week, “and they immediately said yes to the greenhouse tomatoes.” With adequate light and heat, tomatoes can grow in greenhouses year-round. Frechette quit his CPA job to f ocus on selling fruits and vegetables. In 2008, he and James Gordon partnered to purchase UVP, which was then a small mom-and-pop wholesaler based in Lebanon, N.H.

location — which has a full kitchen — has been a big draw for locals and tourists alike. There, a 20-dish menu complements the wines with choices such as white-grape gazpacho, smoked-salmon chowder, chicken and waffles with chile maple syrup, and lobster rolls. “As far as everybody is concerned, we’re a restaurant,” Nichols says. The Stowe spot even hosts monthly wine dinners, except in summer when the tourist trade precludes it. October will bring an Oktoberfest theme, with German food and libations. Given the uptick in beerbased tourism, Nichols is excited that the new Waterbury

location will allow her to carry seven or eight brews on draft, along with three wines on tap. With the updated décor, the inclusion of beer and expanded food o– erings down the line, “It’ll be a whole new look and feel,” Nichols says.

Riding the Juice Wave JUICE AMOUR OPENS CAFÉ IN MIDDLEBURY

In August 2015, SHERI BANNISTER and her father, DAVID BEDARD, began pressing raw, organic juices in Bannister’s Bristol kitchen. Soon she was taking increasing numbers of online orders for local delivery of fresh-squeezed juice, under the name JUICE AMOUR. On July 25, Bannister and Bedard opened a juice café at 1396 Route 7 in

Middlebury, with free Wi-Fi and ample seating. Bannister started feeling the juice buzz after watching Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead, a 2010 documentary that follows ﬁlmmaker Joe Cross on a road trip after he commits to a 60-day juice cleanse to regain his collapsing health. Spoiler alert: Cross drops 100 pounds and forgoes all his previous medications for a chronic autoimmune disease. “I was so inspired,” Bannister says. “I’m vegan, but I’ve always been curious about food and its inﬂuences on our health. So I bought a juicer. I loved how the fresh juice made me feel.”

While the juice wave had already gained strength in the Burlington area, it wasn’t as evident in Bannister’s neck of the woods. So the Vermont native and marketing professional decided to channel her business prowess into a career dedicated, as she puts it, “to making people feel good.” Her juice is made daily with local and organic produce. Juice Amour’s café features customer favorites such as Ginger Bliss, a spicy blend “good for tummies and colds”; and the adventurous Fat Burner, packed with garlic, red chile, apple, bok choy, kale and lemon. Housemade cashew and sprouted-almond milks are on o– er, the small-batch blends resembling a milkshake more than a health tonic. Guests will also ﬁnd homemade chia pudding, smoothies, hefty acai bowls and — thanks to Bedard, who’s a roaster at VERMONT COFFEE COMPANY — a good cup of joe. Partnerships with local suppliers such as ELMER FARM, NEW LEAF ORGANICS and BLACK RIVER PRODUCE keep the juices ﬂowing. — J.C.

“

he restaurant is French through and through,” said our jovial server as she filled our water glasses and gave us a thorough spiel about the evening’s menu. That’s evident everywhere at Bistro de Margot, f rom the name to the black-and-white photographs of the Ei° el Tower to the menu — which includes descriptions en f rançais, f ollowed by English translations. Diners can order escargots or steak f rites, and all of the wines hail from places such as Burgundy and Provence. Yet those who associate French cuisine with snobbery will be happily surprised by the playfulness of the place. Located on College Street in Burlington, in the spot that many remember fondly as L’Amante, Bistro de Margot has been open for nearly a year, and it manages to be elegant but casual; dishes are precise and finely crafted but not fussy. Bef ore long, we were joking with April (she didn’t mention her name, but it was printed on the bill) about licking the sauces o° the plates. “We encourage it,” she commented with a grin. We didn’t go there, but we did put the bread in our basket to good use, sopping up parsley-flecked garlic butter with a hint of snail and rich demi-glace that was served with lamb chops. Our favorite dish, however, was the one that came with a light and lovely purée of roasted bell peppers, accented with fish stock flavored with white wine and shallot. That summery sauce accompanied a trio of perf ectly cooked scallops — the sumptuous kind that restaurant people ref er to as “U-10s” because there are “under 10” of the big guys in a pound. Seared brown on top and just warm in the middle, the mollusks were fresh and sweet. Below each of those was a cake of tomatoey polenta, cut to scallop size. Both scallops and polenta had a crispy exterior and a creamy center, and when I ate them together, the texture of the cornmeal played pleasantly against the smoothness of the seaf ood. Tender spears of asparagus, tiny whole peppers and little bursts of microgreens formed the vegetal component of the dish. Yet it was the slices of pungent chorizo that really brought it all together.

Poèlée de St. Jacques

The brilliance lay in keeping the punchy garlic-andpaprika-laced sausage on the plate rather than incorporating it in every bite. The ﬂavors of an ingredient as dominant as the Spanish-style sausage can easily take over, seeping into sauces and overwhelming their delicacy. Not here, in part because the chef cut the chorizo in thick pieces and scattered it on top of the other components, instead of cooking it with them and allowing it to infuse the dish. I ate a bite of scallop and polenta, a bite of asparagus, a bite of chorizo. The

ﬂavors melded yet stayed distinct. I did it again. In a subsequent interview, chef Hervé Mahé said the dishes at the bistro, which is named af ter his grandmother, are based on his moods. There are “many French cuisines to pick from,” he noted. Having lived and cooked in many parts of the country, f rom Alsace to Vichy to Paris to Lyon, he can bring inﬂuences from each to bear on his cooking. “With the scallop, I wanted something that was light,” Mahé said. “OK, so I use tomato because that is in season,

THE MOLLUSKS WERE FRESH AND SWEET.

peppers that are in season.” Although chorizo is associated with the Iberian Peninsula, he added it because it brought “an edge” that the dish required. “French cuisine has a lot of inﬂuences from trade. Any cuisine is a fusion, no matter what,” said Mahé. Unlike chefs who change their menu quarterly and o° er a couple of seasonal dishes each night, Mahé pref ers to change his menu f requently while always o° ering twists on a f ew classic preparations — mussels and f ries, f or instance, or roasted chicken with pan jus. “I don’t like specials. The menu is special,” he said. Since the f are is driven by a combination of his whims and the available meats and produce, Mahé won’t let high demand keep an item on the menu. “Just because a dish is super popular, it doesn’t mean we won’t change it,” he said. Last year, he sold 30 quail in one night. The next night, he took the quail of f the menu, he recalled, because he f elt its time had come. That impulse stems f rom an intense interest in seasonality and creativity —˝a drive to keep things fresh, in both senses of the word. But Mahé’s desire to please his customers is just as strong. During this writer’s incognito visit, he stopped by my table twice, just to see how things were. He said he strives to chat with every diner, although busy nights sometimes preclude it. “I think it’s a good connection to be made,” said Mahé, of leaving the kitchen to interact with eaters. “Too many chefs don’t do it.” By asking direct questions, he has been able to ﬁgure out how to tweak f ood to individual customers’ tastes. He’s also been regaled with tales of dishes that Vermonters ate in France and would love to see re-created in Burlington. “We’re trying to engage our customers,” Mahé said, noting that the restaurant is also active on Facebook and Twitter. “I think we gain so much.” Contact: podhaizer@sevendaysvt.com

food+drink Redeﬁning ‘Local” « P.44 of southern New England’s summer strawberry season. Massachusetts’ berry farms have suffered from a lack of insulating winter snowpack in recent years. That’s not an issue in the St. Lawrence Valley, where the impacts of climate change have been less dramatic. “We still have good winters that cover the strawberry ﬁelds properly, and we also have a good amount of fresh water, which is especially lacking in California,” Frechette noted. Focusing on production and distribution from a regional perspective, Frechette argued, will help the Northeast wean itself from drought-grown California produce. “Our goal should be to be self-su… cient,” he said, adding that while total self-su… ciency is a lofty goal, “our percentage of [regional] selfsu… ciency should be higher every year.” Back in the UVP warehouse, Jones explained regional food security from a sales and marketing angle. Standing in a conference room, he pointed to a UVP price sheet, which showed Québécois romaine on o” er for $20 less per case than its California counterpart. “Our stu” is blowing California away right now,” he said, in both quality and price. “[California’s] quality is super low right now, and their prices are super high,” Jones said. “This is their o” -season.” But introducing wholesale clients to regional growers is no easy task,

since many customers simply resubmit identical orders each week. To justify switching to a new producer, the product must be of equal or better quality. And it must be the same price —Ÿor cheaper. “We’re working on a margin to be able to say, ‘Hey, here’s a better product at a better price,” Jones said. “It’s not gonna work if you say, ‘Here’s a better product, and it costs more.’” Particularly when that product goes out of season in two months, and the buyer will have to revert back to the California grower. But Jones sees the West Coast’s winter-produce supremacy as a mandate: If the Northeast is to feed itself, its growers and distributors must work together to maximize the growing season on a regional level. Individual farms must invest in season-extending innovations and infrastructure, such as hydroponics or hot houses, which will keep plants growing for longer and reduce reliance on food shipped in from afar. And consumers must justify that investment with a robust local market. When farmers are convinced there’s a market for local winter produce, “they’ll start working on these shoulder seasons,” Jones said. “The [o” -seasons] will keep getting closer together. And then we’ll have total food security.” Contact: hannah@sevendaysvt.com

It’s not all swirling stemware and haute cuisine at this weekend’s STOWE WINE & FOOD CLASSIC. On Friday, head to Stowe Mountain Lodge for smoked meats from the BLUE DONKEY’s rolling eatery or slices of bubbling, wood-ﬁred ﬂatbreads from GOOG’S PIZZA. Maybe grab a Cornerstone Burger from that restaurant’s brandnew ROLLING STONE MOBILE KITCHEN, or sample new brews from Stowe’s IDLETYME BREWING. If all that sounds like music to your ears, Kat Wright and the Indomitable Soul Band will be there, too. Tickets are $20 at stowewine.com.

wo years ago, Burlington held the ﬁrst annual A-Dog Day. The downtown celebration honored the lif e and legacy of DJ and skateboarding maven Andy Williams, who died of leukemia in December 2013. In addition to plentiful perf ormances, workshops and events in A-Dog’s honor that August, his longtime f riend and collaborator DJ Nastee produced a tribute compilation album, titled Friends for A-Dog. Two years later, things have only gotten bigger. A world-class skate park at the waterf ront now bears A-Dog’s name. The musical lineup for A-Dog Day this year is so big it will take over both Nectar’s and Club Metronome. And the compilation series has returned with a bang: Friends for A-Dog Vol. 2 is a truly monumental project. The big di° erence this time around: Vol. 2 is very much a rap album. It captures the spirit of many classic A-Dog mixtapes, blending skits and studio jokes with brilliant cuts, transitions and drops. The tone here is a true-school revival, bridging the gap between ’80s and ’90s kids and pledging allegiance to smart, lyrical hip-hop. While it sounds like a polished product now, the album was a lucky accident. Late last year, Nastee discovered a folder full of beats produced by A-Dog and started planning the collaborations now featured on the compilation in early 2016. He tagged some talented local help with the ambitious project. Local producer/techno-shaman Zach Crawf ord, aka SkySplitterInk, recorded most of these songs at the SkyLab, his Burlington project studio. Crawford has long been an asset to the local scene as a producer, perf ormer and sound engineer. Since he moved downtown, his vocal booth has become a central hub for hip-hop in the 802. It’s also where nine of the tracks here were recorded. Once the sessions were wrapped, the ﬁles were sent to Nastee, who arranged, mixed and mastered the project at New York City’s Cutting Room Studios. It’s a testament to his deft touch that Vol. 2 sounds so cohesive. The beats are heavy on piano chops and f unky drums, but the elements of world music and dance culture keep the

Just in time for A-Dog Day, DJ Nastee produces a ﬁtting tribute — again BY J US TIN BO L AND

mix unique. A case in point would be “Ready,” a collaboration of Burlington rap technician Learic and longtime Aztext collaborator Tha Truth, appearing here as the Nite Caps. It captures the vibe of that Lyricist Lounge/Rawkus wave that brought us Black Star and the iconic Soundbombing compilations. “The Nite Caps is a duo that arose out of Tha Truth and I doing shows together,” explains Learic. “We’re really more of a mini-group within the Aztext umbrella.” The prolific battle champion has been a constant presence at the SkyLab lately, preparing multiple album projects f or later this year. The hunger and energy on display throughout Vol. 2 set it apart f rom its predecessor. Most of the artists here opt to pay their respects by destroying the mic as best they can. “I think because the beats are all made by Andy, people felt a little less confined by the tribute thing,” says Crawf ord, “and the importance of the project got people on their A game.” He ain’t kidding. Some of the best moments here are new names taking f ull advantage of the opportunity. On “Broke,” Jamell NYT (pronounced “night”) turns a driving piano beat into one of the best cuts on the compilation. His flow is compelling, his writing confidently creative. He’s a serious new talent. Crawford was equally impressed with Jamell in the studio. “He came through with probably six verses to choose from,” Crawford says, who speaks highly of Jamell’s work ethic. “Working with him this year [as an engineer] has been an overall highlight for me.” Barre kingpins Bar None the Best deliver another standout, appropriately titled “Raw.” The dark, thumping beat is tailor-made f or Vermont’s best purveyors of New York-style hardcore rap. J-Hess is all casual menace, and M. Rich kills the second verse, funny and full of quotables. “Bullets the size of Keurig cups” is just one of a dozen brilliant details. It’s clear Bar None’s next project will be worth the wait. Some of the new names here were recruited f rom A-Dog’s out-of -state THE BEATS GO ON

MUSIC 59

There was a lot to love about ANDY WILLIAMS. Better known as DJ A-DOG, Williams was a profoundly gifted DJ and artist. He was a talented and passionate skateboarder. He was a good friend, whether you’d known him forever or had just met. He was an interesting guy, for sure. But just as importantly, he was an interested guy. He truly cared about the people, places and things around him. And that was reﬂected in a subtler aspect of his personality that probably doesn’t get as much attention as it should: Andy Williams followed through. Talking up someone’s commitment isn’t nearly as sexy as waxing rhapsodic about talent and charm and passion. And there have been plenty of loving rhapsodies written and spoken for A-Dog since his death from leukemia in late December 2013. But when Williams said he would do something, he did it. And that was just as fundamental to his being as the beat juggling and ollies that will be on display in his honor this Saturday, August 27, during the annual A-Dog Day festivities. The foundation that bears his name has accomplished wonderful things since his passing, but preserving that small piece of A-Dog’s

legacy might be the most important of all. “Andy was all about commitment and follow-through,” says TRINA ZIDE, co-owner of local skate shop Maven and a key cog in the well-oiled skateboard trucks that is the Friends for A-Dog Foundation. “So that’s what we focus on, too.” As an example, Zide cites a recent skating day camp that the foundation ran through the King Street Center. At the outset of the weeklong camp, the young campers, many of whom are refugees or come from other disadvantaged backgrounds, were provided with not only skateboards but proper safety equipment from head to toe. At the camp’s conclusion, the kids got to keep everything: pads, helmets, decks and all. “We wanted to be sure that these kids would have everything they’d need to love skating,” says JUSTIN REMILLARD. Also known as JUSTIN R.E.M., Remillard is a local DJ and co-owner of the housemusic promotion company Nexus Artist Management, in addition to his various

roles with Friends for A-Dog. “It really is all in the follow-through,” he says, explaining that the skate campers were outﬁtted thanks to a generous donation from the TONY HAWK Foundation. “It’s top-of-the-line stuŁ.” Speaking of Hawk, you might have heard that the skateboarding icon made a surprise appearance in Burlington last month at the dedication of the new Andy A-Dog Williams Skatepark on the Burlington waterfront. While it was known that reps from Hawk’s foundation would be on hand, Zide was the only person in Burlington who knew that Hawk himself would be soaring atop the skate park’s vast network of ramps. “[Hawk] didn’t want to detract from it being about Andy,” Zide explains, adding that she even kept Hawk’s appearance a secret from her fellow foundation mates. The skating pro’s presence was certainly special, and it helped spotlight some of the foundation’s recent eŁorts to keep Williams’ spirit alive and enrich the community he loved. But the majority of the Friends’ work happens with far less fanfare. The Friends’ eŁorts can be considered in four basic categories, though they’re often interlinked. The ﬁrst is programming, which encompasses the skate camp, as well as numerous after-school workshops through King Street. These include weekly art classes and quarterly dance classes with instructors such as artist MARY LACY and dancer LOIS TROMBLEY. Hip local design companies New Duds and Iskra Print Collective have presented screen-printing workshops. The Friends have also set up a scholarship at Williams’ high school alma mater, Bellows Free Academy-St. Albans, for students looking to pursue education, traditional or nontraditional, after graduation. Applicants must write an essay explaining how they would use the money and represent the foundation’s core principles: knowledge, art, love and community. “They can use it for college, welding school, whatever,” says Remillard. “Just so long as they demonstrate the kinds of things that Andy was all about.” The third leg of A-Dog’s foundation is spearheading bone-marrow donorregistration drives.

The ﬁnal piece of the Friends puzzle are the events at which the foundation appears, roughly monthly, throughout the year. In the past year, the foundation has had a presence at music festivals such as Grand Point North, Waking Windows and the Manifestivus, as well as community events such as the Penguin Plunge. The signature event is A-Dog Day, an oﬁ cial Burlington event held annually on the last Saturday of August, as decreed by Burlington Mayor MIRO WEINBERGER. The day begins in the afternoon at — where else? — the A-Dog Skatepark. Highlights include a bone-marrow registration drive, break-dancing exhibitions, skating trick competitions, Stretch Armstrong speakers and the unveiling of a new mural by Williams’ longtime girlfriend, artist

diagnosed, it was determined that a bone-marrow transplant was a prudent treatment. Williams was biracial, which made locating a match nearly impossible. But within a week, two matches were located. “We all remember how much hope that gave us,” says Zide. She explains that, in most cases, bone-marrow transplants are at best a last-ditch e† ort when all other avenues for treatment have failed. “They’re a death sentence,” she says. “But they can also inspire hope, which can be the most important thing in the world when you’re in that situation. Hope is what keeps you going, keeps you alive.” Zide adds that the means of harvesting bone marrow has changed in recent years — it’s now far less invasive — which might ease the minds of those hesitant to donate. “I tell people that they could quite literally be saving a life,” says Zide. “That usually works.” The Friends have registered 307 donors over a three-year span. Of those, three people have gone on to actually donate marrow. That doesn’t sounds like much, until you consider Williams’ odds: roughly one in a million.
