Burlington cops talked to agents with the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. fl ey ran a check and realized that Tanner had a criminal record in New Hampshire. fl e feds charged him with possessing a firearm, which is against the law if you’re a convicted felon — as Tanner is. His weapon was loaded when police took him into custody. Is it time for Vermont to rethink its gun laws? Some legislative leaders are convening at the Statehouse on August 4 to rally support for universal background checks for gun buyers. No checks are required for private gun sales in Vermont. Such measures have failed in the past, but top Democratic candidates for governor and lieutenant governor are expected to attend the event, according to Senate Majority Leader Phil Baruth (D-Chittenden). “It’s time for this very modest step,” he told reporter Terri Hallenbeck. Read the full posts from Hallenbeck and Davis at sevendaysvt.com.
That’s how much a former Agri-Mark executive stole from the company, which owns Cabot Creamery. He was sentenced to two years behind bars.
SKIN IN THE GAME
Two naked men were arrested in Vermont this week — one running around St. J, another sitting in a car in South Burlington. One more, and it’s a trend.

or weeks, a man was biking around Burlington with a rifle slung over his shoulder. fl e cops heard from plenty of concerned residents about the armed cyclist before they finally tracked him down. Malcolm Tanner, 52, was homeless and living in an encampment in the Old North End. Police found him to be “incoherent” — that is, somebody who could not follow a train of thought. Court papers later revealed he did not believe that federal laws applied to him, as Mark Davis reported on Seven Days’ Off Message blog. To Burlington police, Tanner did not appear to be breaking any laws; carrying firearms is perfectly legal in Vermont. Nonetheless, “A man with mental health issues riding around the city on a bike with an unconcealed rifle and ammunition makes people nervous, because it should,” Burlington Police Chief Brandon del Pozo told Seven Days.

FEEDback READER REACTION TO RECENT ARTICLES
FOR THE RECORD
Seven Days stated that “all 12 city councilors” voted for Burlington Police Chief Brandon del Pozo [“Scholar in Chief,” July 13]. This is incorrect. There were only 11 votes for del Pozo. The Seven Days article written at the time seems to have gotten it right [Off Message: “Burlington City Councilors Stand by Their Man: Del Pozo Is New Police Chief,” July 15, 2015]. The 12th vote was an abstention for reason of conflict of interest by Joan Shannon. The reason Shannon abstained was that she was involved in working on the closing on his house in Burlington! Mark Hughes CABOT
PUFF PIECES?
There’s a quote from George Orwell that reads: “Journalism is printing what someone else does not want printed; everything else is public relations.” Two articles in your last issue come much closer to the second definition. The first is [“Taking Stock: Did Wall Street Prepare Lisman to Be Governor?” July 13]. As any student of Vermont politics knows, and Terri Hallenbeck’s article notes, Bruce Lisman was a top member of the Bear Stearns financial house and a member of the University of Vermont Board of Trustees. Naturally, Lisman and his supporters consider these elements of his résumé to be positives. Seven Days does little to challenge this idea. What is left unsaid is that both of these bodies are
TIM NEWCOMB
autocratic and antidemocratic in their philosophy and operations. This is antithetical to Vermont’s tradition of democracy. The other article is the cover story on Burlington Police Chief Brandon del Pozo [“Scholar in Chief,” July 13]. Del Pozo’s appointment was one of the least democratic actions taken by the Burlington city government in years. Furthermore, the fact that two civilians have been killed in operations involving Burlington police since his appointment makes me think that his approach to policing is less enlightened than the Seven Days piece leads readers to believe. Just because he uses computers to isolate and arrest (mostly poor) people does not indicate progressiveness. Indeed, it only proves that he sees the role of the police as one of enforcing the will of financiers like Lisman in turning Vermont into a neoliberal playground. Ron Jacobs WINOOSKI
ROOTING FOR IT
Does the importance Seven Days reporter Terri Hallenback gave the Gilfeather turnip in “New Rules: 2016 Laws Affect Drivers, Turnips and Estate Taxes” [July 6] mean that she is planning on attending the Gilfeather Turnip Festival in Wardsboro on October 22? Greg Carpenter FAIRFAX
‘RAINBOW’ FOLLOWER
I loved reading Mark Davis’ report on the
WEEK IN REVIEW Rainbow Family gathering near Mount Tabor [“Happy Campers,” June 29]. Having been to four previous Rainbow gatherings since 1985, the traditional Rainbow greeting — “Welcome home!” — had special meaning for me this year, as it was my first gathering in the state I’ve called home for 22 years; I still haven’t quite come down from the emotional and spiritual high I experienced at the Peace Circle on the Fourth of July. I’m a 63-year-old African American who came of age during the heyday of the original “flower children” of the late 1960s and early ’70s. The hippies I first encountered at New York’s Washington Square Park in Greenwich Village as a 17-year-old in the summer of 1970 forever altered the course of my life; I’ve been a hippie in my heart and soul ever since. It was at the 1985 Rainbow gathering in Missouri that I met a gay French Canadian Rainbow from Montréal with whom I had a relationship that lasted 21 years until we amicably parted in 2006. At this year’s gathering, I reconnected with a friend I had not seen in 20 years. I’ve never had children but nonetheless came face-to-face during the Peace Circle with a young man who bore such an uncanny resemblance to my teenage self that I was overwhelmed with the feeling that he could have been my son — or even my grandson, as he was just 18. There’s a reason why it’s called the Rainbow Family. And I thank God it’s still here after almost half a century. Skeeter Sanders SHELBURNE

QUIET TIMES?
[Re “Rowing Pains,” June 29]: The scullers originating from the Craftsbury Outdoor Center are never without a motorized boat accompanying them. Added to that are the instructions hollered at the scullers by the coaches aboard the motorized boats. I usually sit at the lake in the early hours — before 8 a.m. — and the groups are there before then. Whenever I have traveled and stayed at a beach area, noise ordinances request that guests observe certain hours of quiet out of respect to others. I would imagine that homeowners on Great Hosmer Pond would appreciate such courtesy. Mary Peters ALBANY
GOOD FOR THE HOOD
[Re “Truck Stops Here,” July 13]: As a small business on Pine Street for 10 years, I welcome any and all creative activity in our neighborhood. The food trucks have been a wonderful addition to this area. They have also been very good neighbors and deserve the support and consideration of this community. Overall foot traffic is up, and tourists as well as locals exploring the city beyond Church Street really appreciate the expanded venue. This historic district needs to be fostered and not stifled. Special thanks to ArtsRiot and the South End Arts and Business Association.

[Re “Rowing Pains,” June 29]: I’m 15, and, like hundreds of other families from across the state, mine comes to train or race at the Craftsbury Outdoor Center year-round on skis, bikes, feet or in boats. This winter, COC received a national award for being one of only a few centers that were open during the season-long warmth. COC is a mecca for the rowing community worldwide. It is an exceptional place to learn from some of the best coaches in the country. The idea that Dick Dreissigacker and Judy Geer are just in it for the money is ludicrous [Feedback: “Troubled Waters,” July 6]. Likewise the claim that it is “an outright R&D lab of Concept2.” Concept2 makes the most widely used oars and rowing machines in the world, popular because they are fantastically designed. Of course they’re not free. But the COC doesn’t charge their foremost athletes to live and train there, as most training centers do, choosing their mission over money. COC uses Concept2 oars, and they offer free tours of the Concept2 factory, but they do not test oars on campers.
Watching Dick and Judy setting up tents in frigid weather, or world-class athletes making furniture for guests, or seeing interns learning how to accommodate senior rowers with some limitations is to witness a culture of care, not greed. As for respecting hours to be on the lake, rowers come to Craftsbury specifically because at almost any other body of water large enough to row on, they’d get chased off by motorboats and wakes as early as 7 a.m.

OPEN SEASON ON VERMONT POLITICS BY PAUL HEINTZ
MILNE,
the money he’s collected from the likes of United Technologies and General Dynamics could be as much a liability as an asset. Consider the contrast: Leahy raised a grand total of $613,000 in the past three months alone — and more than $3.9 million since his last reelection. At the end of June, he had nearly $3.2 million in the bank.
PEOPLE ARE WEARY OF CAREER POLITICIANS WHO RUN BIG-MONEY CAMPAIGNS FUNDED BY LOBBYISTS AND SPECIAL INTERESTS. S C OT T M I L N E
Milne, on the other hand, raised no money and had only $83 in his campaign account. Since he joined the race in May, he’s spent just $5,000 on a poll and $17 on bank fees. The Pomfret Republican acknowledges he’ll be “outspent tremendously” in the coming months, but he doesn’t think that’s a problem. He notes that he nearly defeated Democratic Gov. PETER SHUMLIN two years ago despite a fundraising disadvantage. Milne thinks Vermonters are looking for something new. “I am hearing that people are weary of career politicians who run big-money campaigns funded by lobbyists and special interests,” Milne says. He may be on to something. Leahy’s junior colleague, Sen. BERNIE SANDERS (IVt.), put campaign finance reform at the heart of his race for the presidency — and managed to raise $229 million almost entirely through small donations. Vermonters ate it up, handing him 86 percent of the vote in the March primary. The question is: Will voters hold other Vermont politicians to the Sanders standard? Already, some pols are changing their ways. Earlier this year, all three Democrats running for governor — MATT DUNNE, PETER GALBRAITH and SUE MINTER — pledged to forswear corporate campaign contributions. That was a dramatic shift from Shumlin, who raised hundreds of thousands of dollars over the years from corporations, lobbyists and other special interests. But even some of those who felt the Bern aren’t practicing what he preached.
Take Congressman PETER WELCH (D-Vt.), who endorsed Sanders in February: Of the nearly $157,000 he raised in the past three months, more than two-thirds came from PACs. Since he was reelected two years ago, he’s accepted nearly $488,000 from such special-interest groups. Among them: Comcast ($8,000), the National Association of Convenience Stores ($10,000), Lockheed Martin ($4,000) and a pair of fast-food chains, Wendy’s ($5,000) and Kentucky Fried Chicken ($5,000). Asked why they raise so much from PACs, Leahy and Welch give similar answers. “In a post-Citizens United world, Sen. Leahy needs to be prepared for challenges not only in Vermont, but from big-money interests across the country,” says Leahy campaign spokesman JAY TILTON. Likewise, says Welch spokeswoman KIRSTEN HARTMAN, “Until the Supreme Court decision in Citizens United is overturned, Congressman Welch will continue to raise the resources necessary to wage a competitive campaign, to help elect Democrats in Vermont and to help Democrats take control of Congress from Tea Party Republicans.” It’s unclear who Welch will “wage a competitive campaign” against. Not a single Republican stepped up to challenge him before the June filing deadline. (Interestingly, Welch donated $1,000 to the reelection campaign of Congresswoman DEBBIE WASSERMAN SCHULTZ, a bitter Sanders foe. Hartman describes her as Welch’s “longtime friend and ally.”) In the race for governor, candidates appear to be taking three different approaches to financing their campaigns: raising cash from corporations, out-ofstaters and themselves. Lt. Gov. PHIL SCOTT, who’s seeking the Republican nomination, is taking the corporate route. Of the $682,000 he’s raised since last winter, nearly half of it, or $388,000, has come from business interests. While most of those donors are small Vermont companies, they include Tennessee prison contractor Corrections Corporation of America ($1,000), the Coca-Cola Bottling Company of Northern New England ($4,000) and Casella ($4,000). Scott’s biggest benefactor appears to be gasoline magnate SKIP VALLEE, who was a major donor to GEORGE W. BUSH and owns R.L. Vallee and Maplefields. He and his family contributed at least $24,000 to Scott last month. A number of Statehouse lobbyists have also ponied up, including three employees of the corporate lobbying firm
GOT A TIP FOR PAUL? PAUL@SEVENDAYSVT.COM MMR: ANDY MACLEAN, WARREN COLEMAN and LAURA PELOSI. BRITTNEY WILSON, Scott’s campaign coordinator, says her boss sees nothing wrong with taking money from corporations and lobbyists. “It takes financial resources to run a sophisticated campaign, especially when you have to compete against a primary opponent with piles of Wall Street money and Democrats who are raising unprecedented sums out of state,” she says. The Wall Street money to which Wilson refers belongs to retired Bear Stearns executive BRUCE LISMAN, who is challenging Scott for the GOP nomination. To date, the Shelburne Republican has contributed nearly $1.6 million to his own campaign. He’s managed to raise just $287,000 from other human beings. On the Democratic side, Minter is leading the pack. The former transportation secretary raised $893,000 since last fall and has $297,000 available for the final three weeks of the race. Dunne, a former Google manager and state senator, has taken in $820,000 and has $208,000 left. Both have looked beyond Vermont’s borders to finance their campaigns. Nearly half of Minter’s haul, or $445,000, came from out-of-staters. Fifty-three percent of Dunne’s money, or $436,000, did. Scott, in contrast, raised 93 percent of his cash from Vermonters. The third Democrat in the race, Galbraith, can’t seem to find anyone in these parts to donate to his campaign. Of the $129,000 the former ambassador has raised, only $13,363 has come from Vermonters — and that includes $2,000 from brother JAMES GALBRAITH, the University of Texas economist, who apparently considers the Green Mountains home. Candidate Galbraith has made up for the shortfall by loaning his campaign nearly $200,000, much as he did when he ran for Senate. He says he hopes to raise enough money to pay himself back. “The truth is, I think the way we fund campaigns is disgusting, which is calling up everyone you know and asking them for money,” says Galbraith, who tried to ban corporate donations when he served in the Senate. “I don’t think candidates should be telemarketers. It’s a terrible system.” He has a point. But even the purest of the pure seem to be willing to compromise their values. Last month, Sen. DAVID ZUCKERMAN (P/DChittenden) wrote to every registered lobbyist in Vermont asking for contributions to his campaign for lieutenant governor. “If you have clients supportive of the work I have done or my collaborative approach to policy development, please help me reach them,” he wrote, asking for names of other potential supporters. “If
you’d be willing to send them a mailing on my behalf, please let me know how my campaign could assist you.” Lawmakers in Vermont are barred from hitting up lobbyists until the legislature adjourns for the biennium. This year, that happened June 9. Zuckerman’s letter was dated June 10. A die-hard Sanders supporter, Zuckerman has long advocated for campaign finance reform. So what on Earth is he doing hitting up lobbyists? “Ultimately, as individual voters, if they wanted to support me, I’m just as happy to have their donations as anyone else,” he says, noting that he does not take money from corporations. “I would say I have such a long track record of being very clear on my positions, I think there’s really no doubt about where I stand on issues.” In the end, Zuckerman didn’t convince many lobbyists to open up their wallets. “I was actually hoping a few more would,” he says with a laugh.

For months, Milne and Lisman have refused to say whether they’ll support their party’s presumptive nominee for president. Both argued there was still a chance that someone other than DONALD TRUMP would emerge from the Republican National Convention. Now that the GOP has pulled the trigger and nominated the racist, sexist, xenophobic demagogue, have Milne and Lisman made up their mind? No, they say. No, they haven’t.

he yearling moose was riddled with ticks and stuck in a mud bog, exhausted and barely able to move. Vermont game warden Randy Hazard considered euthanizing the suffering animal but held off, thinking it might beat the odds that have cut Vermont’s moose population by more than half since 2005. He freed the moose from the swamp in the small Northeast Kingdom town of Morgan. Then he got in his truck and drove off, hoping the animal would be gone when he returned to check. It wasn’t. “He was dead when I went back the next day,” Hazard said. The game warden recounted the April 23 incident to a reporter to illustrate the challenges facing Vermont’s moose population. The herd has declined dramatically over the last decade, from an estimated 4,800 animals in 2005 to 2,070 in 2015. The reasons for the drop are not fully understood, but one of the likely causes is warmer winters. They have triggered an increase in winter tick infestations that can cause young moose to drop dead from blood loss and emaciation. Higher temps may also result in heat stress and other health problems for the majestic animals. As other states grapple with similar moose herd declines, the trend has prompted a call to suspend Vermont’s annual hunt in October. It comes from Walter Medwid, a semiretired Derby man who has spent his life working for conservation and outdoors organizations including the Adirondack Mountain Club and the NorthWoods Stewardship Center. He believes more animal advocates would join him if they knew what was happening. The Fish & Wildlife Department’s minimum goal for the Vermont herd size is 3,000 moose, Medwid points out. It makes no sense to keep hunting the animals now that the number has fallen below that and could go lower, Medwid said. Fish & Wildlife Commissioner Louis Porter and his boss, Agency of Natural Resources Secretary Deb Markowitz, have responded to the moose decline by issuing fewer hunting permits. The list of names resulting from next month’s

Mark Farrow, a Holland logger who hauls moose out of the woods for hunters. Last fall Farrow pulled out only 11 moose, compared to 59 during his top year, 2005. Back then he made as much as $9,000. “It was a huge thing for me, a real, real big moneymaker,” Farrow explained. He hauls moose by horse, because motorized vehicles are restricted from the public lands and private timber company holdings that are popular moose hunting grounds. Hauling trips today are much longer, because hunters must go deeper into the woods to find moose, Farrow said. In the past he often saw a surviving calf or two near felled moose. Now it’s a rare sight. He worries about the animal’s future in Vermont: “I’d really hate to see them go out. They are a pretty important animal for this area.” If the state manages the herd carefully, and the moose “catch a little bit of a break from the ticks,” the herd could come back, Farrow said. “Unfortunately it takes a severe winter to do anything about the ticks, and that’s going to be hard on the moose, too,” Farrow added. “They kind of got it coming and going.” The story of moose in Vermont is a rise-and-fall epic. In the 1700s, when Vermont was mostly forested, the animals were plentiful. Native Americans and settlers hunted moose aggressively for their tender, high-protein meat. A

as 650 moose. The herd size eventually declined, as state officials wanted — that is, until the population dropped below 3,000 a few years ago. Alexander said the dramatic culling wasn’t intentional. Population estimates are based on sightings by hunters and on other factors. For example, drivers aren’t hitting moose as often, according to Vermont Department of Motor Vehicles statistics covering 2002 to 2015. Collisions peaked in 2006 at 93 and dropped to 18 last year. This year, 10 collisions have occurred. Nine people have been killed in collisions between 2002 and 2015. Game wardens like Hazard still get up in the middle of the night to remove 800-pound moose carcasses from the side of the road. They take a tooth from each dead moose to determine its age and health. Hunters have to bring their quarry to a state weigh station, where permits are checked and the moose gets measured for weight, size and tick infestation. State employees do a tick count on small patches of skin at the neck, shoulder, ribs and hip. Moose with fatal levels of tick infestation can carry as many as 60,000 of the blood-sucking creatures. The samples show that the number of ticks has increased in the past three years, but it remains substantially lower than in Maine and New Hampshire, which conduct similar studies. Alexander sees this as a good sign. He said he’s confident Vermont moose aren’t going anywhere. Such assurances don’t comfort Medwid. The state should be creating a campaign, he said, to deliver residents a somber message. “Moose are pretty special,” Medwid said, “and their children’s generation may be the last ones to see them in this part of the world.” m Contact: molly@sevendaysvt.com

century later, many forests had been cleared for crops and livestock, dramatically reducing moose habitat. That, along with overhunting, wiped out the herd. By the time the legislature banned moose hunting in 1896, nobody had seen one in Vermont for decades. In 1965, an estimated 25 moose inhabited the state, most of which had wandered in from northern New Hampshire and Canada. They made a real comeback in the 1980s, according to Alexander, who has been studying the Vermont herd for 30 years. The environment had become conducive to population growth, especially in Essex County, at the northeast tip of Vermont. Farmland was returning to forest. Beaver, which had also been wiped out by pelt hunters in the 1800s, had returned, and their dams created moosefriendly swamps and wetlands. Saplings growing on logged land in the Northeast Kingdom provided good forage. Sightings became regular, and, inevitably, motorists started colliding with moose. The accidents, along with complaints about the animals trampling maple sugar tubing, eating timber company saplings and roaming over farms, helped convince a skeptical legislature to allow limited moose hunting in 1993. That fall, 30 hunters took 25 moose in a three-day season. The early hunts didn’t make a dent in the moose population. “We kept having more and more moose, and pretty soon the timber companies were complaining about how they weren’t getting any regeneration,” Alexander said. “Any time they did a cut, the moose would come in and mow it all down.” Fish & Wildlife increased the number of permits and the length of the season. Excitement grew among hunters, who, in peak years, took as many

ill Mayo and George Gates were sitting at the Franklin General Store last Wednesday, lunching on hot dogs and chatting about the news of the day. Mayo, who has owned the store for 13 years, is no fan of the state’s new GMO labeling law or of the potential $15 minimum wage he hears candidates discussing. A higher minimum wage is already prompting some workers to ask for fewer hours so they can continue to qualify for public assistance, he said. And the GMO law has generated needless confusion, he added. His views are right in line with those of state Sen. Norm McAllister (R-Franklin). But Mayo doesn’t envision voting for the lawmaker, who lives on a farm just two miles up the road. McAllister stands accused of sexual assault in a case that won’t be resolved before the primary election. “I know people are presumed innocent until proven guilty,” Mayo said, as though he were trying to convince himself. “I don’t think he’s capable of representing us very well, because of his Denise Smith credibility.” Gates, who also tends to vote Republican, agreed. “I don’t know if in good conscience I could vote for him,” he said. “I’m disappointed in him, that he could get himself in this mess at all.” In a phone interview, McAllister told Seven Days that he didn’t ask for the mess he’s in. “This stuff that’s happened was nothing of my wish. When they see these are false accusations, they’re going to realize what’s going on,” he said of his Franklin County constituents. Meanwhile, though, the charges have given rise to an unusual race. On August 9 — the day Republican voters will decide in a primary whether McAllister should be one of their candidates in the November election — he’s due in court
for jury selection. His trial starts on August 10. Franklin County Deputy State’s Attorney Diane Wheeler, who is prosecuting the case, said Monday that the timing of the primary was not a factor in setting the trial dates. “Wasn’t discussed; didn’t know it myself,” she said. McAllister, 64, of Highgate Springs, is running for a third term in the Senate despite the fact that his colleagues voted to suspend him from the chamber at the start of the most Sen. Norm McAllister recent legislative session. The unprecedented
Carolyn Branagan
decision was precipitated by his May 2015 arrest on charges of sexual assault and prohibited acts involving three women. The first of two trials, which covered allegations that he sexually assaulted one of the women, ended on June 16 when prosecutors dismissed the case after one day of testimony because the woman admitted to lying on the stand about a tangential matter. The pending case involves allegations that McAllister sexually assaulted a second woman and solicited sex from a third woman, who has since died. McAllister’s son, Heath, came to his defense Monday in an interview with Seven Days, saying Sen. McAllister had
brief consensual sexual relationships with both women he was accused of assaulting but was innocent of any criminal charges. McAllister is running for reelection maintaining that he’s innocent — and asserting that Franklin County citizens should send him back to Montpelier to fight on their behalf against excessive government spending and intrusion. So far, though, he hasn’t done much campaigning. In fact, McAllister barely assembled enough signatures to meet
him, though he was unable to say how. “It’ll be a very short campaign,” he said. McAllister’s situation is generating increased competition for the Franklin County Senate District — from both political parties. The working-class county that is home to farmers, factory workers and commuters was once reliably Democratic but in recent years has moved to the right. Two years ago, voters chose two Republicans for the Senate — McAllister and freshman Dustin Degree. Republicans know they risk losing at least one precious Senate seat, and many are distancing themselves from McAllister. That’s why the beleaguered incumbent senator finds himself in a rare Republican primary in the two-seat district. Degree is seeking his second term, while Rep. Carolyn Branagan (R-Georgia) is giving up the House seat she’s held for 14 years to run for the Senate. She’s raised the ante by declaring that if she loses the primary, she’ll run as an independent in the general election — a move that could splinter Republican votes. “I’m going Sara Kittell Dustin Degree to fight for it,” Branagan said.

Burlington May End Agreement With Moran Plant Developers An email obtained by Seven Days suggests the City of Burlington may terminate its memorandum of understanding with the group that is working to redevelop the Moran Plant. On Monday, the New Moran developers informed their “council of advisers” via email that they were working with the city “on a mutual dissolution” of the MOU because it “has become woefully out of date and inhibits the city from exploring all its options for the Moran Plant.” What the possible dissolution means for the future of the project is unclear. The MOU was signed in 2014. Now the $2 million project is behind schedule. In response to questions from the media, Mayor Miro Weinberger’s office issued a statement, explaining, “Both pa ties are currently reviewing all options for resolving the future of the Moran building in the months ahead, and expect to announce a clear path soon.”
The rede elopment proposal, which would rely, in part, on $6.3 million in tax increment financing, consists of turning the defunct coal plant on the waterfront into an events space and a marketplace with food vendors, artisans and retail shops. But the repeated delays have frustrated the mayor and city councilors. Weinberger previously said he aims to tear down the building if the redevelopment proposal falls through. According to the New Moran email to its advisers, the group will “present a new path forward to city council in mid-August, including aggressive milestones … to provide a cohesive, viable plan for the building in keeping with the mayor and CEDO’s requirements.” The email also noted that “patience is thin on the ci y council.” It goes on: “Now is truly [New Moran’s] last chance to deliver.”

Vermont’s GMO Law Doomed as House Passes Federal Bill Vermont’s GMO labeling law appears doomed to a short life. Th U.S. House voted overwhelmingly last Thursday for a federal bi l that would preempt Vermont’s first-in-the-nation labeling la . Gov. Peter Shumlin indicated that he expects President Barack Obama to sign the less-stringent federal bill into law. Vermont’s law passed in 2014 but just took effect July 1. It requires that many products containing genetically modified o ganisms be labeled as such. Large food manufacturers opposed Vermont’s law and turned their support to a federal measure that gives them more leeway. Under the federal bill, manufacturers will be able to use a QR code, which people scan with smartphones, to label products. The U.S. Depa tment of Agriculture has two years to determine rules surrounding what has to be labeled. The House oted 306-117 for the bill on Thursda . The Senate
approved the measure last week. Vermont’s delegation opposed the bill. “It’s a thinly disguised effort to block the right of consumers to know what’s in the food they eat,” Rep. Peter Welch (D-Vt.) said in a statement. “There is no question that ermont was overpowered by the financial resources and lob ying influence of the food indust y, which wants desperately to avoid common-sense labeling,” Shumlin said. Vermont Attorney General Bill Sorrell said Thursday that his office was sti l weighing the impact of the federal legislation but that it appeared Vermont’s law would be preempted immediately following the president’s signature.
TERRI HALLENBECK
McAllister, a former dairy farmer who served eight years in the House before moving to the Senate, is equally fired up to talk issues. He decried decisions by the Democratic majority on state spending, taxes and the required labeling of genetically modified foods. “I’m running because we have to have people who stand up for what’s right,” McAllister said. “I’m not afraid to take the hits.” Despite being miffed that Degree voted to suspend him from the Senate, McAllister said he takes no issue with his district mate’s voting record. Branagan’s is another matter. McAllister said that when he starts campaigning, he’ll argue that Branagan increased a host of fees this year. That, he said, is not good Republican politics. “When I saw that she was the other candidate, that’s when I decided to run,” he said. Branagan acknowledged that she voted for fee increases. But she contended that fees are different than taxes because they cover the cost of a service. “I think it’s fair,” she said. “I have fought dozens of taxes,” she countered. “I’ve voted against tax bills and budget bills.” Kittell, 69, of Fairfield, a former school nurse and business owner who served 17 years in the Senate, argues that Republicans complain about taxes and spending but offer no viable solutions. She noted that, compared to 2014, the year she finished third, this is a presidential election year that will likely bring out more Democratic voters. Smith, a 44-year-old married mother of three young children, is the only first-time legislative candidate in the race. But her job with Friends of Northern Lake Champlain and her role on the school board give her many connections to the community and relate to two of the hottest issues in the county. Joe Sinagra, a Franklin County Republican who ran unsuccessfully for Senate in 2012 and pays close attention to politics, said he’s noticed Smith is running an active campaign. Kittell, Degree and Branagan are all out there, too. He said he’s seen nothing of McAllister, which, upon reflection, is not surprising. “If I’m in his situation, it’s kind of hard to campaign,” Sinagra said. “You become a sideshow.” m Contact: terri@sevendaysvt.com

Unlike many disaster-training exercises, this big-budget extravaganza will require significant audience participation. Specifically, actors from local communities are needed — at least 200 per day over four days, from all walks of life. Makeup and costumes will be provided, and no previous experience or auditions are necessary. Best of all, every actor goes home with a good story to tell and

$80 for each day’s work. “I take pride in saying that we pay more than ‘The Walking Dead’ for a day of being an extra,” says Paul “Paulie” Ghiozzi of E-9 Enterprises, referring to the AMC hit television series. The Colorado Springs, Colo., firm is under contract with the federal government to provide logistical support for Vigilant Guard, including extras, props, makeup and costumes. Ghiozzi, a 1996 Norwich University graduate and 20-year Marine Corps veteran, is E-9’s project director, day-shift site commander and selfdescribed “bodies guy.” He regularly travels around the country finding participants for these federally mandated natural-disaster and domestic-terrorism drills. His goal, he says, is to create the most authentic scenarios possible, which enable emergency responders to identify gaps or weaknesses in their preparedness.
“We do everything from tsunamis to hurricanes to avalanches to tornados to WMDs to nuclear/ chemical/biological [attacks]. Single shooter, multiple shooter, you name it,” Ghiozzi adds. “It might be a hurricane the first day and looting the second day.” Neither Ghiozzi nor state and federal officials, who hosted last week’s press conference at the National Guard’s Camp Johnson in Colchester, would disclose the exact nature of the simulation. The reason: Planners aim to simulate, in real time, the surprising and often unexpected nature of how these catastrophes unfold. Even Ghiozzi admits he hasn’t been informed of all the incidents that are planned. What kinds of acting roles are available to the public? According to Ghiozzi, the scripted event will feature various scenarios and “injects,” or complications, which develop over the entire course of the drill. For example, he says, the exercise may require a certain number of “walking wounded” who are covered in (faux) radioactive dust and soot, akin to those who were near the World Trade Center when the towers collapsed. E-9’s makeup and costume artists will be there to help actors “get into character,” he says. That might mean they apply facial lacerations or thermal burns to simulate victims’ exposure to radiation or chemical agents. “We can do mustard gas, sarin gas, stuff like that,” Ghiozzi adds. To simulate more serious, nonambulatory wounded, E-9 will provide nearly 100 rescue mannequins, including at least one CPR dog mannequin. Although the actors won’t necessarily need to memorize lines, Ghiozzi says that some may be asked to simulate specific conditions or behaviors, such as showing signs of post-traumatic stress disorder or mental illness. Other actors may simply wear cards around their necks to inform first responders and medical staff of their injuries so patients can be triaged for evacuation, decontamination and treatment. Vigilant Guard will also involve the use of numerous military vehicles and aircraft, as well as at least one pile of rubble that was constructed at Camp

ant to take part in the largest dramatic production Vermont has ever put on? We’re talking a cast of 5,000 participants performing over nine days at 50 sites around the state, at a cost of $570,000. The live-action thriller promises plenty of “death” and “destruction,” and may include one or more of the following simulations: terrorist attacks, collapsed structures, cyber warfare, chemical and/or biological agents, and massive casualties that overwhelm local hospitals. This theatrical production isn’t for entertainment purposes, however, but a disaster-preparedness drill dubbed Vigilant Guard, which will run from July 25 until August 2. The federally funded exercise, which has been in the works for three years, is designed to test the response capabilities of the state and region’s military and emergency services personnel. Participating agencies will include at least a half dozen local municipalities and 16 area hospitals, as well as Vermont’s Army and Air National Guards, the Department of Homeland Security, the Vermont Department of Health, the American Red Cross, and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, to name a few.
Johnson specifically for this exercise. The pile, on display at last week’s press conference, consists of several shipping containers, tons of concrete slabs, overturned cars and, according to one National Guard official, hydraulic lifts that can simulate an unstable collapsed structure. Despite the hazardous sets, state officials emphasize that no actors will be put in harm’s way — no leaps from flaming rooftops or evacuations via helicopter winches. According to Ghiozzi, about the most action the actors should expect is a stretcher ride in a Humvee. Still, despite what might feel like fun and games to the actors, CHRISTOPHER HERRICK, director of Vermont’s Division of Emergency Management and Homeland Security, says that creating a high “degree of realism will help us hone our response by identifying not only what went right but what went wrong, and rectifying those mistakes in the future.” Contact: ken@sevendaysvt.com

Lew joined Counterpoint as a tenor in 2003, within six months of his arrival in Vermont. As director, he seemed more of a collaborator during rehearsal. A fast talker to begin with, he and his professional cohorts collectively nailed down details with unusual speed for a choral rehearsal. Nevertheless, fellow tenors ADAM HALL and CAMERON STEINMETZ in the back row still found time to clown around. (“You get those two together, and it’s like fourth grade again,” Lew joked.)

We’re just giving [Quigley] a hard time,” said Hall with a chuckle. “But actually, I think he’s a fantastic composer. ‘A Winter Ride’ is modern; you get to the end, and suddenly there’s this tonic triad you’re not even expecting.” Hall, who was developing a promising national solo career until 2012 when family medical conditions claimed his attention, is equally excited to sing Brookfield composer Nielsen’s work. He sang the lead tenor in Nielsen’s opera A Fleeting Animal last September. “To me, the human voice is so fun, so incredibly versatile,” said Hall. “Just passing things back and forth with our voices is fun.” For audiences, fun will be key for enjoying visions of winter, fall and spring in the middle of summer.

NATHANIEL LEW began a recent rehearsal of COUNTERPOINT, Vermont’s sole professional choir, with some quick group stretches and a directive. “Since it’s so hot, let’s start with the winter songs,” the director said. „ e 20-member group was practicing in an upstairs room in the MONTEVERDI MUSIC SCHOOL in Montpelier, with only one small fan to cool them off. Singing about snow is one way to beat the heat. Lew, however, had all the seasons in mind when he crafted the program the group was rehearsing. Counterpoint will perform “Seasons: A Choral Celebration of the Changing Year” this weekend in Stowe, Weston and East Hardwick, with an open rehearsal in Burlington. „ e four-part program — ordered summer, fall, winter and spring — is built around Argentinian composer Astor Piazzolla’s four tangos, each named for a season in the country’s capital city. “Summer in Buenos Aires,” arranged for a cappella choir, was already in Counterpoint’s repertoire, said Lew. „ e other three were written with piano accompaniment. Wanting to perform all of what he called Piazzolla’s “answer to Vivaldi’s Four Seasons,” the director departed from the group’s usual a cappella style and added accompanist ALISON CERUTTI to the program. She’ll also play two piano solos. Lew then searched for songs to round out each season. Mindful of Counterpoint’s mission of performing in Vermont — the group gives 15 to 20 concerts around the state each year — he identified works by Vermonters that fit the bill. On the program are SARA DONCASTER’s “Early Summer Morning,” and “Summer” by ERIK NIELSEN; PETER HAMLIN’s “„ e Lake House in Autumn”; “A Winter Ride” by KEVIN QUIGLEY, who sings bass in Counterpoint; and, for spring, “Maple and Mud” by CAROL WOOD, based on a poem by her husband, JOHN WOOD. While Counterpoint’s former director, ROBERT DE CORMIER, favored folk songs, Lew, who took over in 2011, has selected a few American Songbook-type tunes for the concert. “Spring Is Here” comes from Rodgers and Hart’s 1938 Broadway musical I Married an Angel. And the unofficial state song, “Moonlight in Vermont,” introduces the program, in part because the song’s lyrics cover three seasons. John Blackburn wrote its verses as three haiku — a strange, or perhaps brave, choice in 1944 — about fall, winter

THEATER
Just Kids at Stowe Theatre Guild is trying something new: It’s presenting the first show directed, produced and performed by a young-adult cast. Granted, they’re young adults who have spent most of their lives doing musical theater in Stowe. For his directorial debut, OWEN LEAVEY, who is now studying musical theater at CAP21 conservatory in New York, approached the Guild about doing a summer production of John Cariani’s Almost, Maine with community members and his friends. Some of those friends have moved on to college or jobs, but all were enthusiastic, says producer DEVIN KIERNAN, about returning to their old stomping grounds to work together. Kiernan, who is now studying theater and communications at Elon University, is psyched: “Owen said that he really wanted to produce this particular show, and I was really excited to get back to Stowe,” she says. “It’s so nice to see the same faces all the time again. It’s a great community, with people who are really passionate and willing to put so much time into it. It’s like a family outside of your own family.” A tale of romance and broken hearts set in the small town of Almost, this production will feature young performers whose next stop could well be Broadway.

uring the summer, theater in Vermont heats up in a big way. Summer stock is a given, with seasonal series or single shows around the state bringing everything from frothy musicals to Shakespearean tragedy. As it happens, playwrights are also testing the waters for new works with staged readings, comedians are flinging funny stuff left and right, and some Burlington-area thespians are gearing up for the return of the Vermont Fringe Festival. Here’s a small sampling of theater news you can use. (Also see DAN BOLLES’ preview of the Green Mountain Comedy Festival on page 60.)

Local theater artists, heads up: Participants are wanted for the Vermont Fringe Festival in October. The event took a yearlong hiatus, but Burlington’s OFF CENTER FOR THE DRAMATIC ARTS is resurrecting it. Great fun for audiences, the fest allows performers to take new chances and let it rip. Whatever “it” is. All genres are welcome: solos, plays, collaborations, cabaret, puppets and … robots? The Fringe Festival will last four days and feature up to 20 different artists in half-hour time slots. The eventual goal is for theater artists to take over Burlington with performances around the clock in downtown venues, making the Fringe as prolific as the Burlington Discover Jazz Festival. So let’s get started. Meantime, Off Center is restructuring itself — as a community collective. The small black-box venue, which many believe is crucial to the sustained growth of creative work in Burlington, has a goal of becoming more efficient and gaining more community buy-in, while keeping rental prices low for artists. “Off Center fills a niche in Burlington — it’s important that we’re here,” declares cofounder and president PAUL SCHNABEL. “Part of the reason that we’re able to give artists such a valuable resource to experiment with their work is that we don’t have the kind of oversight other venues have — no paid staff, no artistic directors. So we’re trying something somewhat unique, and we will be turning to the community to help.”

The Vermont Pride Theater Summer Festival in Randolph is marking its sixth year, and two of its four plays are East Coast premieres. The works explore issues of gender identity, gender therapy, and the balance of public and private life. Raggedy And, written by David Valdes Greenwood, was originally developed by LeapFest at Stage Left Theatre in Chicago. Billed as an “ultramodern comedy of manners,” it tells a story of the first trans poet selected to read at the inauguration of the country’s first female president. The world premiere of Raggedy And happened at Chicago’s Pride Films & Plays last spring, but a more developed production will open the fest in Randolph, according to Valdes Greenwood. In an email interview, he says his play is “focused on some of the pressing questions of our time, for all LGBTQ people and all citizens: Who gets to define you? What do you owe yourself and others when it comes to identity? What does it mean to be true to yourself?” The second premiere production at Pride, Mama’s Girls, presents a family’s struggles with a preteen’s urgent request to begin gender therapy. This will be the play’s second staging, after a world premiere at SNAP! Productions in Omaha, Neb. “Plays presented at Pride Festival are essential because of the obvious and heartbreaking tragedies we’ve experienced in our country regarding our gay and transgender communities,” says playwright Marilynn Barner Anselmi, checking in from North Carolina. “Theater has the unique opportunity and responsibility to open up essential discussions regarding equality and respect, in ways which allow and welcome others into these lives and experiences.” Curator SHARON RIVES says the Pride Festival is more important than ever: “We need it [in Randolph] more than other parts of the state. Every area in Vermont has its own particular concerns and issues, and acceptance of LGBTQ people has been more prevalent,” she says. “But we need to take this opportunity, when gender is at the forefront of our national conversation, to create a vehicle to broaden minds and to enhance understanding. To break down barriers instead of building them up.” Toward that end, postshow “talkbacks” will give audiences a chance to discuss issues presented in the plays.

THE STRAIGHT DOPE BY CECIL ADAMS
Dear Cecil,
In the wake of Prince’s death, I’ve read a lot of magazine special editions dedicated to him, and each contains pictures of hundreds of gifts left at his home by fans as memorials. Something like this seems to happen whenever a major celebrity dies. What happens to these items? Does the family take the stuff? Do other fans eventually take it? Does the city? Or is there possibly some foundation that deals with such things? Trina High
Paisley Park, Prince’s home and studio outside Minneapolis, with flowers, balloons and all sorts of homemade tributes. These clearly couldn’t stay up forever. Rather than throw the stuff out, though, the bank’s representatives undertook a fairly heroic preservation process, and, like the industrious Midwesterners they are, they did so quickly. Just one month after Prince’s death, multiple curators from four local history societies, working as volunteers under the supervision of a Bremer archivist, gathered up the accumulated items. The dead flowers and rotten food got tossed, but everything else was documented and archived according to standard museum procedures. The most sunbleached and rain-soaked poster boards, their valedictory messages however illegibly smeared or faded, have been stored away in an environmentally
controlled space, possibly for future public exhibition. That’s not always how it happens. If, for instance, you’ve crafted a special item to commemorate the life of John Lennon that you’d like preserved for posterity, don’t leave it behind at Strawberry Fields. That site, located in New York City’s Central Park and dedicated to the late Beatle, considers items left behind at the end of the day abandoned property and disposes of them accordingly. Imagine no possessions and all that, I suppose. There is a middle ground, of course, between storing every item as a treasure and binning it all as trash. Elvis Presley’s Graceland, in Memphis, Tennessee, is the granddaddy of all celebrity shrines, attracting 500,000 visitors per year — many of whom leave some token of admiration behind. Though Graceland didn’t open

ny parent of an all-tooprolifically creative child can sympathize with the dilemma facing the custodians of a celebrity memorial site. Think of when an offspring’s lovingly finger-painted or magic-markered artworks have papered the entirety of the refrigerator and threaten to consume all available wall space in the house. Then even the most doting patron has to make a decision: store these masterpieces lovingly away or surreptitiously trash them and hope the artist never asks where they went. In the case of Prince, who died April 21, that’s pretty much the task that fell to Bremer Trust, a Minnesota-based bank that’s been appointed temporary administrator of the superstar’s estate while the court determines his rightful heirs. As you note, fans had decorated the chain-link fence surrounding
as a tourist attraction until 1982, fans had been using the site to communicate with Elvis while he was still living: Cut off from their increasingly isolated idol, they started scrawling messages to him on the wall surrounding his mansion. Groundskeepers scrubbed the graffiti away for years, but after the King’s death in 1977 the task grew too great, and now they only zap the offcolor material — everything else is left to the elements. Graffiti, though, doesn’t create storage issues. The objects left behind at Elvis’s grave are another story. The Graceland archivists are world-renowned — in fact the Paisley Park team adopted some of the techniques used by the Presley preservationists. But unlike the Paisley Park curators, the caretakers at Graceland are highly selective about what they keep — only creations deemed of particular artistic merit or ingenuity get stored away in the archives. Interestingly, one institution that served as an example for those diligent Minnesotans doesn’t honor celebrities at all. The Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C., was dedicated the same year that Graceland was opened to the public. And as with Graceland, visitors to the memorial, colloquially known as the Wall,

started leaving items behind immediately: The National Park Service estimates that 400,000 items have been left as remembrances and tributes — one group from Wisconsin even left a motorcycle. Currently these tributes — every last nonperishable one of them — go into the Vietnam Veterans Memorial collection, which is warehoused in a Maryland facility. Looking ahead, however, the Park Service admits there won’t always be room for everything, and it’s planned to limit the scope of the collection to items directly related to the Vietnam War. Someday, whoever inherits Bremer Trust’s responsibility for Paisley Park’s upkeep may have to make similar decisions, particularly if the site becomes a Graceland-style museum that attracts hundreds of thousands of tourists bearing gifts. Right now, though, Bremer faces more pressing concerns. Since Prince died intestate, the administrator expects that the IRS and the State of Minnesota may gobble up more than half his estate’s value next year. Should some future reader ever wonder, “Why should I leave a will?” I may simply direct them to the messy story of Prince’s probate woes, which is just beginning.

Also, never assume that lightning won’t strike you unless it’s raining. Lightning often hits three miles or more from the center of a storm, well beyond its rain and storm clouds. “Bolts from the blue” have been known to hit people 15 miles away. Another popular misconception to dispel: If you’re caught outdoors, crouching or lying on the ground does not make you safer from lightning. The NWS warns that

These findings don’t mean that lightning doesn’t like ladies. It could be that, at any given time, more men than women are outdoors. Or that during an electrical storm, men are more likely to say, “I don’t think the heavy stuff’s gonna come down for quite a while.” As for Powell and Brooks’ recent misfortune, this wasn’t even the first time they lost a house to fire; their previous home burned down almost exactly 20 years earlier. But, according to Powell, that fire wasn’t due to lightning but rather to a contractor who was installing a new roof. That, and miserable luck. m

lying flat actually increases your odds of exposure to a ground current. And don’t waste time removing metal from your pockets. As the NWS advises, “The presence of metal makes absolutely no difference on where lightning strikes.” Though lightning kills more people annually than do tornadoes and hurricanes, even those deaths are rare. According to an NWS lightning safety report, from 2006 through 2013, 261 people were struck and killed by lightning in the United States. Statistically, lightning kills women far less frequently than men; the latter account for 81 percent of all electricalstorm fatalities. Some two-thirds of those deaths occur during outdoor leisure activities. Fishermen were three times more likely than golfers to get struck, Caddyshack notwithstanding.

from the National Weather Service indicate that New York City’s Empire State Building averages nearly 100 strikes each year. Indeed, the STRIKEnet report that Ambroz used for his fire investigation revealed that, during the 24-hour period when the South Hero fire occurred, 46 cloud-to-ground strikes were recorded within a five-mile radius of the house. If you think that’s a lot, you’re not a meteorologist like Ron Holle, who works for the National Lightning Detection Network in Tucson, Ariz. NLDN is owned by Vaisala, a Finnish company that offers products and services for environmental measurement. Vaisala also generates STRIKEnet reports and tracks lightning over the lower 48 states. According to Holle, 46 lightning flashes within a five-mile radius “is not especially noteworthy,” as he sees much higher figures elsewhere in the country. In fact, Vermont’s “flash density” is much lower than that of many other regions, Holle noted. From 2006 to 2015, Vermont averaged just three to six flashes per square mile annually; in comparison, parts of Florida and the Gulf Coast averaged 28 or more. As for cloud-to-ground strikes, Holle observed that Vermont’s numbers can vary wildly from year to year. In the last decade, they ranged from as few as 13,364 strikes annually in 2009 to 53,638 in 2007; the average was nearly 30,000 ground strikes yearly. Holle observed no clear trends showing either an increase or decrease in Vermont’s electrical-storm activity. As June, July and August are the most common months for thunderstorms, what’s the best way to avoid getting buzzed by a bolt? First, whenever a thunderstorm approaches, move away from trees and other tall objects and get indoors or into a hardcovered vehicle ASAP. It’s a myth that the car’s rubber tires insulate you; actually, the vehicle’s metal body conducts the electricity to the ground. But it’s still better to be in a car than outside. If you are in a building, stay away from windows, plumbing, metal doors, wired phones, computers and other appliances.

s there any credence to the adage, “Lightning never strikes the same place twice”? Ask Mary Powell and Mark Brooks, whose South Hero home was destroyed by fire last month after lightning hit their property twice in one hour. WTF? Here’s how it went down: On the evening of June 28, firefighters from South Hero Volunteer Fire Department and surrounding towns responded to a fire at 42 Sweeney Farm Road. According to state fire investigator Det. Sgt. Todd Ambroz, Brooks was home at the time and witnessed the first strike at 5:21 p.m. Though it didn’t hit the house directly, it knocked wind chimes off a nearby tree, tripped a circuit breaker, and left burn marks and holes in the ground. Brooks reportedly left the property about a half hour later, only to return to find the house engulfed in flames. Ambroz offered two theories for how the fire started. He suggested that the home’s underground sprinkler system may have attracted the initial strike. Although the pipes were made of PVC, he suggested that the water inside them could have conducted the electricity into the house, which blew the circuit breaker and left something smoldering. His second, more probable theory is that a second strike, documented at 5:56 p.m., hit the house directly, setting it ablaze and killing four of the family’s pets. However, because the $1.7 million home was totally destroyed, Ambroz said there’s no way to know for certain. Still, the first strike was a powerhouse, he added. According to a report generated by STRIKEnet, a nationwide system that tracks the location, frequency and strength of lightning flashes, the first one registered at 16.8 kiloamps, or 16,800 amps. “That’s like holding onto three transformers,” he said, with unintended irony — Powell is president and CEO of Green Mountain Power, the state’s largest electric utility. Lightning-induced house fires aren’t rare. In 2010, 4,100 of them injured 32 people and caused $333 million in direct structural damage, according to the National Fire Protection Association. How often does lightning strike the same spot? Apparently it’s not that rare. Data

n a rainy Friday night in September 2014, a small crowd of hipsters and aging intellectuals gathered in the lakeside home of a retired law professor in Madison, Wis. They were there to hear Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), who was scheduled to travel to Wisconsin and Iowa that weekend to explore a run for president. But the senator had been delayed, so he spoke to them by speakerphone. “Change does not take place overnight,” Sanders said as he described his vision for the nation. “Struggle does not result in immediate victory.” Half an hour into his sermon, one attendee asked what the others were surely thinking: “So, are you gonna run for president?” “Yeahhh!” the crowd murmured in unison. Sanders noted that he was on his way to Iowa for a series of town hall meetings, but he cautioned that running for president would be “no small undertaking.” “Unless I felt that we could mount a very, very serious and winning campaign, I wouldn’t do it,” he said. “And we cannot mount a serious and winning campaign unless we bring about what I call a ‘political revolution’ in this country, in which we really engage millions and millions of people in the political process.” Over the next two years, Sanders would do just that. Though few saw it coming, he would go on to win some 12 million votes, 22 primaries and caucuses, and more than 45 percent of pledged delegates to the Democratic National Convention. “He started with almost no name ID around the country, with zero support in the polls. And he was able to take the former first lady and former secretary of state to the brink, right?” said Ben Tulchin, who served as Sanders’ pollster. “You might as well be running against the sitting vice president, for crying out loud.” So how did he do it? In interviews with nearly a dozen current and former campaign staffers, the word that came up most was “authenticity.” The very qualities skeptics thought would sink Sanders — his unpolished
appearance, unmovable message and unwillingness to compromise — endeared him to voters who were looking for something real. “Look, Bernie Sanders was a phenomenal candidate,” said campaign manager Jeff Weaver. “People recognized his authenticity — that he was saying what he believed and what they believed.” From the start, those closest to Sanders saw an opening for him in an era of economic uncertainty and frustration with the political establishment. “The issues he’s been talking about for many years … are becoming the front-and-center issues in American politics today,” Democratic operative Tad Devine told Seven Days in December 2014, months before he became Sanders’ top strategist. “So I think the times have caught up with him.” Sanders also got lucky. Rival Hillary Clinton appeared formidable enough, at first, to keep other potential candidates on the sidelines, including Vice President Joe Biden and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.). But Clinton struggled to connect with many primary voters, who found her untrustworthy, calculating and beholden to Wall Street. When former Maryland governor Martin O’Malley failed to distinguish himself — and dropped out after Iowa — the senator from Vermont proved the sole alternative. Sanders was hardly a perfect candidate — and his was hardly a perfect campaign. As Clinton marches toward the nomination, postmortems have proliferated, asking and answering the obvious question: What could Sanders have done differently? Plenty, no doubt. But a better question is: How did a 74-year-old democratic socialist electrify a generation born after the fall of the Berlin Wall? And how did a politician who refuses to dial for dollars wind up with $229 million in the bank? Most important of all: Was the Sanders campaign a flash in the pan? Or did it signal the start of a political revolution? When Sanders takes the stage next week at the Democratic National Convention, he’ll surely maintain that it’s the latter. But as he himself has long argued, it’s easier to wage a campaign that it is to sustain a movement.
THE CANDIDATE
delivering three hour-long stump speeches in two cities a day. A week before Super Tuesday, his chartered Eastern Air Lines jet touched down in seven states within 48 hours. “There is certainly something to be said for how far we got simply due to the sheer determination and grit of the senator,” the senior staffer said. Sanders’ nonstop travel made a difference. His worst losses came on days featuring multiple contests, when he didn’t have the time to introduce himself to voters. When the electoral

During one early trip to Iowa, he beelined it to his rental car after every speech he made.
calendar allowed him to “campaign hard” in a state, said Tulchin, he often prevailed — particularly when independents and previously unregistered voters could cast ballots. Take Michigan, where Sanders spent significant time in late February and early March: Polling averages showed Clinton leading Sanders by more than 20 percentage points in the days before the March 8 primary. Tulchin’s own polls had Sanders down by nine. But after a final weekend of barnstorming and a solid performance in a Flint debate, he pulled off the biggest upset of the race — winning by a hair. The outcome was so unexpected
And while Sanders had his core economic message down pat, he struggled to calibrate responses to issues outside his comfort zone, such as gun violence, racial justice and foreign affairs. When challenged on those matters — by a politician or a reporter — he could appear hostile and condescending. But Sanders never got sufficient credit for his sharp political instincts — on the stump, in forums and on the Sunday morning talk shows. Throughout the campaign, pundits derided his decision, in the first Democratic debate, to steer the conversation away from Clinton’s use of a private server during her time as secretary of state. “The American people are sick and tired of hearing about your damn
Was the Sanders campaign a flash in the pan? Or did it signal the start of a political revolution?

The most important race in Sanders’ 45-year political career did not get off to a promising start. After word leaked in April 2015 that he was about to launch a bid for the presidency, his staff scrambled to get ahead of the news. At a hastily arranged press conference in the shadow of the Capitol, he announced his campaign as if it were an afterthought. There were no supporters and no stagecraft — just Sanders at a podium, looking harried and distracted. “We don’t have an endless amount of time,” he barked at a modest crowd of reporters, waving his hands in the air. “I’ve gotta get back.” A month later, the senator hosted a second, more traditional kickoff — and it was an entirely different affair. Some 5,000 people flooded Burlington’s Waterfront Park, cheering Sanders’ every word as he promised a political revolution. Devine’s camera crew was in place to capture the candidate and his family in front of an American flag and a sun-soaked lake. The energy and passion were palpable. “Give ’em hell, Bernie!” one man yelled. Like the two kickoffs, the Sanders campaign was a study in contrasts. At times, it seemed an ad-hoc affair, duct-taped together and about to collapse. But at other times it appeared a well-oiled machine, capturing the mood of the moment with uncanny precision. Behind it all — the brilliant and the bizarre — was Sanders himself. “In terms of strategy, some campaigns just turn everything over to staff and consultants. And that’s just not, as you know, the way he operates,” Weaver said. “So he was involved in every major decision.” Minor ones, too, according to some aides — particularly when it came to the campaign’s message. While some saw Sanders’ notorious
micromanaging as a destabilizing force, others credited him as the best strategist on the team. “I think the upside of that is, the message of the campaign looked exactly how Bernie wanted it to look,” said one senior staffer. “There was no deviation.”

According to Weaver, his boss was too busy to really gum up the works. “The scale of a presidential campaign is so big, and his schedule was so aggressive, in terms of appearances and rallies — I mean, he was running everyone else aground at 74,” the campaign manager said. “That kind of enterprise does not lend itself to micromanaging.” One would think not.

Bernie Sanders’ unusual presidential campaign attracted unusually passionate supporters — people who volunteered countless hours, donated record numbers of small contributions and even got Sanders tattoos.

Leading the effort was a ragtag team of Sanders loyalists and Washington, D.C., consultants. Chief among them was Weaver, a Franklin County native who had driven Sanders around the state in a Ford Pinto during a failed 1988 gubernatorial campaign. After working his way up to Senate chief of staff, he had left politics in 2009 to start a comic book superstore in northern Virginia. Long after Sanders pressed him back into service, his cellphone continued to identify him as the owner of Victory Comics. Michael Briggs, a taciturn ex-reporter who had spent nearly a decade in Sanders’ Senate office, ran the press shop. Devine and his partner, Mark Longabaugh, provided the national campaign experience the Sanderistas lacked. And the senator’s wife, Jane O’Meara Sanders, served as his sounding board — as she had since they met on his mayoral campaign trail in 1981.

emails!” he famously said in their October 2015 matchup in Las Vegas. But those who saw it as an unforced error forget that Sanders was only just beginning to introduce himself to the American people. In that single viral moment, he managed to appear humane, humorous and substantive. It was the perfect distillation of his message: that what really mattered was the decline of the middle class — not Clinton’s latest political problem. “Enough of the emails,” he said. “Let’s talk about the real issues facing America.” Environmentalist Bill McKibben, who endorsed Sanders early in the race, noted that it would be difficult to design a candidate less likely to “capture the hearts” than “an aging guy with a thick accent who calls himself a socialist and comes from the second-smallest state in the union.” But that unconventional background, coupled with “an endless focus on the issues,” was precisely what made Sanders appealing, McKibben argued. “People perceived that it was about substance,” he said.

contributions?” he asked during a September 2014 interview with Seven Days. “I don’t know the answer to that.” The answer turned out to be yes. In December of that year, Devine told Seven Days that Sanders would need “in the neighborhood of $50 million” to make a play in the early states. By the end of 2015, he had already raised $73 million. And it just kept coming. The February night he defeated Clinton in New Hampshire, Sanders took to a podium at Concord High School and asked for money on national TV. “I’m going to hold a fundraiser right here, right now, across America,” he said, plugging the campaign’s website. Within 18 hours, he had picked up another $5.2 million. By the end of May, Sanders had raised more than $229 million from 2.7 million donors, making him one of the most successful political fundraisers in history. The early money enabled Devine and Longabaugh, whose firm specializes in television advertising, to compete with Clinton on-air. Though she launched her first TV ads three months earlier, in August 2015, Sanders outspent her when it counted: as the first four states prepared to vote in early 2016. A week and a half before the Iowa caucuses, Devine and Longabaugh released the ad that would define the campaign. Called “America,” it interspersed images of ordinary Iowans and a campaigning Sanders — set to the Simon & Garfunkel song of the same name. With barely a word from the candidate, the spot said it all: This was a campaign of the people. “It just tapped into something big,” Tulchin said. “The YouTube numbers were off the charts: tens of millions of hits.” It’s one thing to inform and inspire, but it’s another to get voters out to the polls. For that, Sanders relied on hundreds of field staffers and countless more volunteers. According to the campaign, its loyal forces hosted 74,000 meetings, knocked on 5 million doors and made 75 million phone calls. “We started our operation in Iowa extremely late,” said state field director Justin Huck, who was hired in June 2015. But by the time the caucuses arrived seven months later, he said, some 185 paid staffers were on the ground.
“They weren’t coming to Iowa because they wanted a job in the White House and thought getting on early would help them get there,” he said. “They believed in Bernie.”
THE LONG HAUL It’s easy to forget, now that Clinton has prevailed, just how much Sanders rattled her. After his near miss in Iowa on February 1, Politico breathlessly reported that she was weighing a campaign shake-up. “The Clintons are not happy and have been letting all of us know that,” one unnamed Clintonite told the online outlet. Days later, Sanders demolished her in New Hampshire — winning the firstin-the-nation primary state by a 22point margin. It seemed, for a moment, that he might do the impossible. Sanders’ luck wouldn’t last. Later that month, he fell five points short in Nevada and suffered a devastating loss in South Carolina. On Super Tuesday, he won enough states to stay in the race, but Clinton swept the South PAUL HEINTZ

After Bern « P.33 — and picked up a wide delegate lead she would never surrender. The next morning at the Church Street office, Devine insisted to reporters that Sanders still had “a winning hand.” “Yes, we’re behind,” he said, looking groggy from a long night. “She has a substantial advantage. We believe we can make that up between now and June.” There’s little agreement within his campaign around when the jig was up. Some point to Nevada, which the campaign expected to win and was central to its early-state strategy. Others point to the March 15 contests in Ohio, Illinois and elsewhere, when it became clear that Sanders would not replicate his Michigan success throughout the Rust Belt. “I mean, I think realistically coming out of New York and the loss in Pennsylvania,” posited a second senior
adviser. “That one-two probably made it a really long shot.” Weaver, a true believer, claims he held out hope through the June 7 California primary. “That we could pull it off,” he clarified. “Not that we would.” There are just as many theories about what Sanders could have done differently. Some wonder whether Sanders could have done more to court nonwhite voters, who are critical to winning the Democratic nomination. The Vermonter did best among young, independent, working-class and male voters — and he carried the nation’s whitest states. But Clinton often won more than 80 percent of the African American vote, helping her run up the numbers in the South. Sanders’ top aides have long argued that there was little they could do to compete with a former first lady of Arkansas, whose husband was once known as “the first black president.” But others point to the lack of diversity among members of the senator’s inner circle and wonder whether they ever really tried. “I think they felt that the relationship with Hillary was so strong that they didn’t have confidence in doing much of anything to change it,” former deputy director for African American outreach Roy Tatem told Fusion. “Some people felt he had a better chance at winning the Latino vote and the millennial vote than the black vote.” Others thought the campaign suffered from an identity crisis. “I think there was an ongoing discussion in the campaign about what the top priority was: winning the nomination or advancing the political revolution,” the first senior adviser said. “In some ways, those two goals were able to be married. In others, it was difficult to sort of figure out which was the greater priority.” The most common complaint is that the campaign was simply mismanaged — by a meddling candidate and an inexperienced cadre of yes men. According to several staffers, the inner circle was plagued by infighting, with senior staffers jealously guarding their proximity to Sanders. Instead of staying home to mind the ship, Weaver spent

Sanders waited five long weeks after Clinton clinched the nomination to concede. In that time, he seemed to work his way through the stages of grief: denial, anger, bargaining, depression. Last Tuesday, he reached acceptance, endorsing Clinton in a high school gymnasium in Portsmouth, N.H. Sanders’ critics questioned the holdup. They said he’d squandered the goodwill he’d generated within the party, allowed Warren to eclipse him as Clinton’s progressive darling and endangered her chances of

THE REVOLUTION
“If she doesn’t, at least we have something with which to hold her accountable,” said the Middlebury College scholar in residence, who helped represent Sanders in the negotiations. “Clearly he was going to vote for Hillary Clinton, but he wasn’t going to walk away from the process until the issues that he fought for were decided. There’s not many people who can hold up under that kind of pressure.” Many Sanders fans remained unsatisfied. At Portsmouth High School last week they jeered pro-Clinton speakers and staged a walkout when Sanders delivered his long-awaited endorsement. Outside the gym, Clay King held out hope that it might yet turn out differently. “I hope that she endorses him,” the 35-year-old massage therapist from Kittery, Maine, said, holding up a sign that read, “Bernie or Bust.” Sanders’ shift swayed at least one die-hard supporter: 23-year-old Collin Young of Lanesboro, Mass., who wore a T-shirt featuring the candidate in Uncle Sam attire and the words “Feel the Bern.” “Just to see how Hillary’s changed through this process — it helped me to like her more,” Young said. When Sanders took the stage that morning, he made clear his campaign was over and that Clinton would be the nominee. But he wasn’t ready to give up on his broader goal. “Together, we have begun a political revolution to transform America — and that revolution continues!” he roared. In the days since, Sanders has begun to describe what that will look like. He plans to launch as many as three new organizations, including a policy-focused Sanders Institute and a candidate-recruitment entity called Our Revolution. This summer and fall he will travel the country — stumping not just for Clinton but for progressive candidates up and down the ballot. If Clinton defeats Trump, Sanders will return to the Senate as the voice of the loyal, progressive opposition. It’s a role that suits him. But his most lasting impact may be in the hearts and minds of the young people he inspired to vote — and run for office. “I think you’re going to see this play out for a generation,” said Millar, who is himself running for state representative. “A lot of folks are just waking up.” That is the political revolution.

much of his time traveling with the candidate and appearing on cable news shows. Briggs, with whom Weaver frequently feuded, rarely left Sanders’ side. That may have kept the campaign on-message, but it slowed the flow of communication to reporters. “I think a stronger management structure would’ve resulted in a few more victories,” said one top staffer. Others disagree. They downplay the drama and argue that theirs was no more or less dysfunctional than any presidential campaign. “As these things go, this was a pretty harmonious enterprise,” Weaver maintained. “I mean, obviously people had a difference of opinion at times, but you want that. You don’t want everybody saying yes.” With the benefit of hindsight, Weaver said, he might have made some changes. “If I knew how much money was going to come in, would I have had a different spending pattern going into the campaign?” he asked. “Of course. But that was something no one could know.” Indeed. Such hypotheticals ignore the dynamic nature of political campaigns. A tweak here or there may have changed the ballgame — but not necessarily in Sanders’ favor. His top staffers still bristle at one postmortem, published in April by the New York Times, suggesting that Sanders could have prevailed had he taken a tougher tone with Clinton last fall. Maybe. But maybe it would have backfired, as it did when he questioned her qualifications in the lead-up to the New York primary. It’s anybody’s guess. What’s clear is that Sanders and his team did better than nearly everyone expected — and that means they did plenty of things right.

ne of southern California’s most iconic art destinations is Salvation Mountain, a singular work permanently installed outside the small desert town of Niland. Some 50 feet high, the “mountain” is made of adobe and candy-colored paint and emblazoned with, among other things, the simple declaration “GOD IS LOVE.” This is the life’s work of the late Leonard Knight, a Vermonter who grew up in Shelburne Falls. Having made his way across the U.S., Knight channeled his religious fervor into the monument, tirelessly adding to the exuberant creation until his death two years ago at age 82. Knight was widely recognized, and beloved, as a socalled “outsider” artist. Salvation Mountain is splendid, but Vermonters don’t need to cross the country to see brilliant examples of “outsider,” or self-taught, art — or to participate in debates about its various definitions. Three concurrent summer exhibitions in the Burlington area provide provocative and diverse access points: “Grandma Moses: American Modern” at the Shelburne Museum, through October 30; “Amazing GRACE” at the Amy E. Tarrant Gallery, through September 3; and “Exaltations: Grassroots & Vernacular Art” at New City Galerie, through July 26. As Bennington Museum curator Jamie Franklin put it, “It’s rare you can go to a city the size of Burlington and see three world-class exhibitions of self-taught and folk artists.” Long associated with idealized rural life, Vermont is a particularly fruitful place from which to consider the booming popularity of self-taught art. The genre is inextricably linked to ideas of physical, cultural and psychological isolation, as well as of “authenticity.” Another descriptor frequently used for this work, “grassroots,” likewise resonates in Vermont’s environmental and political arenas. While the timing of these exhibitions may be coincidental, examining them together reveals that tiny Vermont has strong connections to this nebulous — but increasingly visible — corner of the art world. The exhibits may also challenge how art making itself is defined.
ART
Was Grandma Moses a Modernist? Anna Mary Robertson Moses, aka “Grandma Moses,” is considered one of America’s most popular artists of the last century. Though she lived and worked in Eagle Bridge, N.Y. — about 15 miles west of Bennington — Moses maintained strong connections during her life with both the Shelburne and Bennington museums. The latter is home to the largest public collection of Moses’ works, and Shelburne director Tom Denenberg asserts that most people think of her as a Vermont artist. Moses painted cheerful rural landscapes and depictions of activities such as sleigh riding, quilting bees and social gatherings. New York art collector Louis J. Caldor “discovered” Moses in 1938 when he found and purchased some of her paintings in a Hoosick Falls shop during a trip upstate. “Grandma Moses: American Modern” is groundbreaking for bucking the paradigms that have historically defined the artist’s career — namely, she is typically seen as either a singular icon of American folk art or an over-popularized stereotype. Organized collaboratively by the Shelburne and Bennington museums and
“Bennington, 1945” by Grandma Moses
curated by Denenberg and Franklin, this exhibition boldly suggests that Moses and her work exist within the modernist tradition that was taking shape during her career. “Our goal from the beginning,” Franklin said, “was to help people understand that Moses wasn’t this random phenomenon.” During a recent gallery visit, Denenberg commented that folk art is “an invented art historical category” that emerged from the Depression to fill a need for identifying “what is native, good, right.” At that time, he said, many saw it as epitomized by the “northern New England small-town democracy” that Moses pictured. The show includes dozens of Moses paintings, along with ephemera such as mass-produced housewares and textiles bearing her designs. Viewers can also see landscapes by her contemporaries, such as Scottish American genre painter James Hope, and by fellow self-taught artists Joseph Pickett of Pennsylvania and Polish-born Morris Hirshfield. While Moses did paint idyllic country scenes, exhibition text and catalog essays make clear that she did not merely paint what she saw around her. For example,
in “The Battle of Bennington,” Moses included the Bennington Batttle Monument, which was built more than a century after that 1777 conflict. With its bright greenery and wayward perspective, the painting renders the violence of war as an innocent product of her imagination. The exhibition describes Moses’ stash of “art secrets” as an important source of inspiration. Her collection of clipped popular imagery included an ample selection of inexpensive Currier & Ives prints, which appealed to the American public of her era. Several of these prints are on view, including “Home to Thanksgiving,” in which a family is seen performing various activities at their country homestead. Moses’ gleaning and borrowing pave the way for the exhibition’s presentation of works by artists Joseph Cornell, Miriam Schapiro and even Andy Warhol. The juxtaposition encourages us to draw parallels between Moses and these artists’ decidedly “contemporary” practices of assemblage and artistic appropriation; it was, after all, with bald-faced appropriation and practices of mass production that Warhol made his name. Like Moses, Cornell was self-taught, yet his box assemblages have moved through history free of the restraints

Outside In « P.37 the late Memphis artist Hawkins Bolden lines two walls of the gallery. Each is labeled “Scarecrow.” Yet, while they’re made from humble materials, these objects are in no other way like a typical scarecrow. Bolden’s totem-like constructions are made from scrap metal and other detritus, including tin cans, a hubcap, a cookie sheet and slices of hosing. Rough-edged holes puncture the metal at seemingly random intervals. Decidedly abstract, the works are “anthropomorphic in name only,” as collector Ellis puts it. Bolden, who was blinded after a childhood traumatic brain injury, initially began creating the works as yard sculptures meant to keep away birds. Also on exhibit are Jesse “Outlaw” Howard, Mary T. Smith, Rev. George Kornegay and Ed Root, as well as works by Vermont artists Christy Clapper and James Patterson. What all of these artists have in common is their designation as grassroots artists — a term coined by Blasdel in a 1968 Art in America essay. In the words of the “Exaltations” curators’ statement, “The work of the Grassroots artist is unfettered, ignores current fashions, and rarely draws from the traditions of Western art history.” As the show’s title suggests, many of these works have a religious undercurrent, in keeping with outsider art’s frequent association with otherworldly or spiritual directives. Three abstract portraits by Kornegay are titled “Black Jesus,” “Jesus” and “Moses.” Kornegay was an Alabama minister who grew up sharecropping and dived into art upon retiring at age 66. “What I love about all these folks [is that] they make us see the world in a way we never saw it before,” said Ellis, “which all great art should do.” He began collecting works by self-taught artists during his time as a music writer in Memphis. Ellis moved to Vermont in August 2011 to teach at Saint Michael’s College after receiving his doctorate in ethnomusicology. He curated “This Was Me,” an exhibit of works by artists affiliated with Hardwick community arts organization GRACE, at the New City Galerie in 2013; and “Looking Out: The Self-Taught Art of

Larry Bissonnette” at the Amy E. Tarrant Gallery in 2015. Blasdel’s study of self-taught artists began at a young age. A Kansas native, he took an interest in the state’s “outsider environments,” he recalled. After graduating from the University of Kansas with a degree in painting, he received funds from Cornell University and the Whitney Museum of American Art to research and document similar environments created by self-taught artists around the country. Blasdel initially came to Vermont in 1974 to finish a book about the outsider environment of Woodstock, N.Y.’s Clarence Schmidt. That book, titled simply Clarence Schmidt, was cowritten with then University of Vermont
LANGUAGE BARRIERS In a talk titled “Outsider Environments” at New City Galerie last month, Gregg Blasdel discussed the controversial nomenclature of self-taught art. He quoted Jean Dubuffet, the French grandfather of the genre, who dubbed it art brut: “Art does not lie down on the bed that is made for it; it runs away as soon as one says its name. Its best moments are when it forgets what it is called.” The histo y of outsider or self-taught art contains a dizzying array of art-world categories. Some other euphemistic terms used for it are “raw,” “naïve,” “vernacular,”
professor Bill Lipke and published in 1975 by the Fleming Museum of Art. Blasdel remained in Vermont for a teaching position at Saint Michael’s College, where he noted that his students tended to prefer self-taught art over “establishment” contemporary art. Asked why, Blasdel offered, “Perhaps because it’s fascinating. It’s so different; it’s so out there. It’s so in another realm.” Koch began collecting in the early ’90s when she and Blasdel first got together. She’s attracted to “the rawness of the vision,” she says. “It’s really contemporary art. I don’t see a difference between selftaught and ‘regular’ contemporary art.” The couple’s collection now includes hundreds of pieces, including more than
“visionary” and “intuitive.” Many agree that “outsider” — a term introduced by British professor and author Roger Cardinal in his 1972 book Outsider Art — is potentially offensive and not particularly useful. But selecting more accurate alternatives has been challenging. The e fort is a long-standing one. Four years before Cardinal’s book, Blasdel himself coined a different term in an article for Art in America magazine titled “The Grass Roots Artist.” The Burlington a tist told Seven Days that he originally borrowed the phrase from abstract expressionist artist Alfonso A. Ossorio (1916-90), who signed a check with the note “For grass roots art.”
100 face jugs — the rough-hewn clay vessels first made by African slaves in South Carolina. Nine of them are on view at New City Galerie. “It’s been really fun to present the collection in a new way, to let it see the light and continue the dialogue,” said Koch.
Innately Artistic Just as “Grandma Moses: American Modern” works against the idea of Moses as a lone art-historical relic, so “Amazing GRACE” at Burlington’s Amy E. Tarrant Gallery revels in presenting art as a demystified community practice. The exhibition offers 53 works by more than 20 GRACE participants, past and present, and celebrates 40 years of the center’s nonprofit programming. “Often art is a very personal, private thing,” said GRACE executive director Kathryn Lovinsky, “but in GRACE workshops, [art] creates a larger community.” The center offers 500-plus
Decades later, in 1993, art historian Jennifer P. Borum wrote in Raw Vision magazine, “Today it is virtually impossible to discuss a non-mainstream artist without wading through a perilous minefield of definitions.” Borum suggested “sel taught” as a possible alternative. At New City, “Exaltations” co-curator Bill Ellis offered his advice: “Do not get lost in the definitions — get be ond [them] and focus on the art.” Kathy Stark agrees. The creative director of Hardwickbased GRACE said that she “really hates labels,” and expressed her hope for a world in which “we can just call it art.”
mixed-perspective landscapes and more graphic compositions that approach abstraction. Many are rendered in loud colors, and all have thick, imprecise lines, reminiscent of the blocky, fantastical forms of Knight’s Salvation Mountain.

Each of these exhibitions embodies the broad conviction shared by enthusiasts of the self-taught genre: that art is not just for the few, and that space for creative expression exists beyond the slim canon of art history and the market. In a late 1980s essay on GRACE, art critic Lucy Lippard wrote, “Caught between the vulgar commercialism of mass-produced art on the one hand and an incomprehensible avant-garde on the other, between ubiquity and scarcity, people have to make their own art. In doing so, they comment on the failings of a culture that often fails them.” Grandma Moses capitalized successfully on the idea of Vermont’s geographical and cultural isolation in the mid-20th century. In the 21st, commentators still invoke the rural nature of Vermont when considering work by its self-taught artists. Andrew Edlin, a New York gallerist who took over that city’s Outsider Art Fair in 2012, offered this: “Vermont is a place where there are so many isolated pockets and tiny little towns … This is a fertile ground for outsider art and folk art to flourish, because people make art for their own reasons, without the audience necessarily being an important factor.” Edlin graduated from UVM in 1983 and now sits on the board of the Fleming Museum. He first became interested in self-taught art in his thirties, when he endeavored to sell art by his uncle, Paul Edlin, who was born deaf. Reportedly, attendance at the outsider fair has tripled under his leadership. “I’ve seen this work go from zero to 100 in no time at all in terms of the market value,” said Blasdel. Collector Ellis noted another aspect of the Green Mountain State that fosters grassroots art: “There is a certain perspective in Vermont that appreciates the offbrand, the eccentric, the idiosyncratic.” The downside of self-taught art’s mainstream acceptance, he added, is that “it has inspired a lot of faux folk art.” Vermont’s exhibitions of self-taught art are important entries in the continuing conversation about whose creative production is valued, and how. Clearly, the state’s art historians, collectors and makers are not isolated in the least. m

classes and workshops per year in nursing homes, mental health centers and adult day centers. Now housed in an 1885 former firehouse in Hardwick, GRACE began in 1976 under the leadership of Don Sunseri. The artist, who died in 2001, wrote in a 1980s GRACE exhibition catalog that he came to Vermont in the early ’70s to “get away from the competitiveness and hustle of the New York art scene.” Franklin identified GRACE as one of the “earliest progressive art studios in the country.” In its mission to foster art making among community members who typically lack access to such activities, GRACE is a peer of other well-established studio art organizations around the country. “Don believed very strongly that art is innate in everybody and just needs to be brought out,” recalled GRACE creative director Kathy Stark, who joined the organization in 2000. “His vision was to have a mixture of people.” A broad swath of GRACE artists is represented at the Tarrant, but shared themes do emerge. Many works take the form of bird’s-eye-view maps, such as Mary Paquette’s intricately detailed, untitled pen-and-ink drawings; and Rowena Burnor’s untitled watercolor. Human and animal figures populate both works on a flat plane among strictly demarcated areas: garden, building, road. Amid the not-to-scale scenes, both Paquette and Burnor insert a prominent human figure — perhaps the artist as viewer and documentarian. Animals frequently dominate the exhibited works. In two untitled pieces from the 1980s, Phylis Putrain places birds within a series of brightly colored geometric marks and borders. The agglomeration of minute marks as a framing device resembles the technique developed by Dot Kibbee to border her tranquil landscapes. Curtis Tatro’s blue colored-pencil drawing “Hazel the Horse” is uncannily similar to the work of Bill Traylor, the late canonized selftaught artist. Many Vermonters are familiar with Aiken’s quirky, energetic interpretations of her life in Barre, her passion for nickelodeons and her penchant for detailed captions. Stark recalled that Aiken used to refer to GRACE’s headquarters as “The Gayleen Aiken Museum.” Three of her small drawings are on view, along with five of her many cardboard “Raimbilli cousins.” Another artist popular among collectors is Merrill Densmore, a Northeast Kingdom painter who died in 2006. From GRACE’s vast trove, several works were selected for exhibition here. Densmore’s drawings alternate between detailed,
COURTESY OF SONNY SAUL
Saul met his one and only great music teacher: Dennis Sandole, a self-taught genius guitarist and composer who famously taught John Coltrane. “I didn’t know that initially,” Saul says of Sandole’s relationship with the legendary saxophonist. “I probably would have been too intimidated to meet him if I did.” Saul studied with Sandole for four years in Philadelphia before he and his wife, Sarah (now divorced), had children. “After that, I just couldn’t give it the attention it merited,” he explains. But Sandole had introduced Saul to other musicians in the area, so he played frequently and honed his skills. “It was a nice little music scene that I left for Vermont,” Saul notes a little ruefully. His wife’s grandparents lived in North Pomfret, so they had visited Vermont annually, staying longer each time. When Saul realized he wasn’t going to be a renowned musician, he and Sarah decided to move to Woodstock full time. By then he had acquired a library science degree from Drexel University, and Sonny Saul he enjoyed touring bookstores in new places, so he figured he’d open his own. Saul launched Pleasant Street Books in 1986 and ran it with his mother, who lived in the house in front of the shop, until she was 88.

came about through the lessons he’s been giving Sturm’s daughter, Eva, for 10 years. Saul had never written music for a book before, but he relished the challenge and was glad he had only six weeks to come up with something. “I thought I could have given a year to it,” he says, “and I didn’t necessarily want to do that.” He created a 30-minute performance that contains two freestanding songs and about 23 shorter pieces that add emotions and moods to the pages. Saul plays the tunes on the piano while Sturm operates the projector, flipping
pages of the book in time with the music. The songs are by turns dark and deeply resonant, hopeful and jaunty. They are ambiguous in a way that stokes suspense about what might come next for the characters, who are on a mysterious journey of transformation. Saul is on his own journey, and, judging from his piano work on Birdsong, he’d do a damn fine job of putting it to music. m

One committee member is awardwinning poet Partridge “Buzz” Boswell, who tapped his artistic network to attract such poet luminaries as Chard deNiord, the current poet laureate of Vermont, and Ellen Bryant Voigt, who held that post from 1999 to 2003. In addition to a reading of his work, deNiord, a resident of Westminster West, will give a poetry workshop focusing on the discovery of the self within the other. For fans of more spontaneous and whimsical poetry, Vermont’s reigning poetry slam champ, Geoff Hewitt, is hosting an “anything goes” poetry jam. Howard Frank Mosher is arguably the best known writer at Bookstock this year. He’ll read from his new novel, God’s Kingdom, and talk about the real-life sources of his fiction. Other highlights include Nathalia Holt, the author of Rise of the Rocket Girls: The Women Who Propelled Us, From Missiles to the Moon to Mars; Harvey Amani Whitfield, an associate professor of history at the University of Vermont, who will discuss his research on the black population in Atlantic Canada and New England; and Barbara Hurd, who will lead a nature-writing workshop in the Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park. Now in its eighth year, Bookstock has become a fixture on the ermont literary calendar, and most presentations are usually close to full capacity. People have suggested to Miller that he grow the event into something bigger, but he’s happy with its relatively small scale. He recalls poet Billy Collins’ presentation at Bookstock a few years ago, in the Town Hall Theatre, which holds about 380 people. “What if 2,000 people showed up?” Miller remembers thinking. “We were concerned there would be a poetry riot. It drove home the fact that we have inherent limitations. We can’t make this into a spectacularly huge event.”

When Ron Miller talks about the Bookstock Literary Festival, which takes place in Woodstock July 29 to 31, he likes to frame it as a sort of bazaar displaying the “varieties of human experience.” One glance at the lineup of presenters and events this year proves his point. Theres Vermont filmmaker Bess O’Brien and writer Gary Lee Miller discussing opiate addiction and their organization, Writers for Recovery. Former Vermont chief justice and attorney general Jeffrey Amestoy will present his book Slavish Shore, about early abolitionist Richard Henry Dana Jr. Pulitzer Prize-winning Robin Gaby Fisher, whose most recent book is about the Sandy Hook massacre, will reflect on writing stories about tragedy, redemption and hope. Filmmaker James Sadwith will screen his new film Coming Through the Rye, about his boyhood obsession with J.D. Salinger and the writer’s coming-of-age novel The Catcher in the Rye. There are many more presentations by poets, fiction writers and memoirists, not to mention Cuban American keynote speaker Richard Blanco, whose writing spans multiple genres. Bookstock was first held in 2009 as an offshoot of the annual book-sale fundraiser organized by the North Universalist Chapel Society. Ron Miller moved to Woodstock fi e years ago, when he purchased the now-defunct Shiretown Books. He immediately became involved in putting on Bookstock and has coordinated the event since 2012. Now running for state representative, Miller was born and raised in the suburbs of Chicago, where his family ran a business. “I needed a bigger world, and I found it through books,” he says of his youth. “And the way some people are really passionate about running marathons or rock climbing, I’m passionate about reading and ideas.” While Miller is Bookstock’s leader, he gives much credit for its annual success to the 14-person volunteer planning committee, which includes members from various local organizations such as the Woodstock History Center and ArtisTree Community Arts Center & Gallery.

Vermont’s farmers markets evolve — and dissolve — with the times
O
n a sunny Saturday in July, the smell of sausage fills the air. At the Burlington Farmers Market, vendors’ stands sprawl across City Hall Park and line St. Paul Street, while bustling crowds fill the spaces in between. Chords of music tinkle from one tent. At another, people shell out for cold-brew coffee. The extravaganza of growers, crafters, artisan food businesses, jewelers, Popsicle makers and fishermen selling their wares is novel; if it grows, or is made, in Vermont and is in season, you’ll probably find it here. But it wasn’t always this way. When farmers markets first popped up around Vermont in the 1970s, they were pretty simple and similar. Most featured a handful of vegetable growers and maybe a baker or two. In 1977, Alan LePage joined a

handful of other growers to form the fledgling Capital City Farmers Market in Montpelier. He realized that most Americans had never heard of, nor seen, an open-air market. “It was very unglamorous,” he recalls. At the time, some people even thought that only farmers were allowed to shop at farmers markets. Over the years, as people became accustomed to them, markets took a foothold and became a celebrated way of purchasing food. In 2010, the number of farmers markets peaked at 87 in Vermont — which has just 251 towns. Since then, the number has declined to the low 70s, with some existing markets struggling while new ones fight to get off of the ground. Given the uncertain economy and varied ways to access local food, is the farmers-market model becoming passé? LISTEN IN ON LOCAL FOODIES...

Answering that question is tricky, because there isn’t one standard model to study. Individual markets — not the Vermont Farmers Market Association (VFMA) or the Agency of Agriculture, Food & Markets — set rules and bylaws, making each one unique. According to the VFMA website, Vermont markets range from two farmers to dozens of vendors, with seasonal sales spanning $5,000 to more than a million. Thus, while one market might be hugely successful, another, one village over, may be languishing. Yet common to most markets is the struggle to maintain a delicate balance: If there aren’t enough customers, it’s not worth a vendor’s time to show up. But if not enough vendors attend, customers may stop coming. To make things even more complicated, when a market gets too crowded, some consumers give up

on the whole thing, just as farmers and crafters scale up production to meet the perception of higher demand. On the website of the defunct New North End Farmers Market, there’s a plea from the market manager, dated June 6, 2014: “We are off to a slow start. There are fewer vendors than I’d like … If we are to keep our community market going, we need more people who want to sell … the past two market days several of you drove into the parking lot … where the market is. Slowed down to look and then drove off … I strongly encourage you to step out.” Clearly, it wasn’t enough. According to Abbey Willard, local foods administrator at the ag agency, there’s a difference between a town deciding that it ought to have a market and a group of farmers deciding that they MARKET VALUE

In a gristmill, the “bed” stone is fixed, while the “running” stone moves. Grain is crushed into flour between them.

At the market, hungry shoppers can try out “fat toast,” a little snack that Wilson and Weil like to make at home using pan drippings. They offer at least three varieties: MOUNTAIN HOME FARM butter and jam; coconut oil and honey; and spiced, rendered beef tallow smeared with DOES’ LEAP goat cheese and fresh herbs from their garden. Brisket toast with pickled red onion is a frequent special. The toast’s wild popularity may spur Wilson to hire a third person to help at the market, he said. Selling toast has eliminated the need for Running Stone to offer costly free samples, and it’s lucrative: “It’s not equal to bread sales, but it’s a great addition,” Wilson says. — S.P.

In April 2016, owners CHRIS PERRY, ANDREW PUCHALIK and IVAN TOMEK partnered with VON TRAPP BREWING in Stowe to brew 100 barrels of a hop-forward American pale ale dubbed First Drop. Until now, Upper Pass brews were available on draft in just a few locations, but come August, the brewery will start selling several beers in cans and bottles. Larger runs will be brewed at von Trapp, while the brewers will produce limited-release and experimental beers at Perry’s farmhouse in Tunbridge. Upcoming releases will start with a yet-to-be-named, intensely hopped IPA — “bitter but floral,” with piney, citrusy flavors, Perry says. Early fall will bring a smooth, roasty milk stout called Moove on Up. “I’m also pretty psyched for our barrel-aged imperial citrus rye,” says Perry, adding that he expects to bottle that in early fall. On-site coffee roasting is also in store — the Upper Pass trio is working on a cold-brew

Briem’s 1809 Berliner Weisse (Germany) and Brouwerij Rodenbach’s Grand Cru Flemish red ale (Belgium) may draw beer nerds inside. But last weekend, Stelly says, the IPAs, such as SingleCut Beersmiths (Queens, N.Y.) and Softly Spoken Magic Spells, sold best. Though the Public House eschews bottle limits, Stelly hopes that mixed six-pack deals will encourage visitors to try new things. “If you want to become a connoisseur,” he suggests, “you can’t be drinking just double IPAs all the time. You need to branch out.” Manager Earley’s family owns Stowe Mercantile and the Boutique a few blocks away. She hopes that,
with TAP 25 now pouring craft suds a few doors down, and BLACK CAP COFFEE & BEER located across the street, the village’s north end will become a hub of beer conversation and collaboration. The Public House is working with Tap 25 owners TIM and CARRIE BRYAN to stock some of the beers on draft at Tap 25. “So, if you drink something there and really like it,” Earley says, “you can come over here and buy it.”

decisions based on their own best interest.” In some cases, they may be afraid to evolve, which Wagner guesses is because “they’re all financially and emotionally invested in the success of the market.” Another factor affecting the success of farmers markets is access: As interest in local food has grown, so have the ways customers can obtain them. There are so many quicker, easier and more convenient ways to get local food; even some chain supermarkets are stocking local fruits and veggies. Then there are coops, farm stands and CSA shares, some of which aggregate products — such as eggs, cheese and meats — from a variety of vendors. Some even offer drop-off service rather than the potentially timeconsuming on-farm pickup. Sam Smith, a farm business specialist at Burlington’s Intervale Center, views markets as an excellent way for growers to meet members of their community and build a base. However, he acknowledges they are time-consuming and exhausting. Fewer of the farmers he advises are including farmers markets in their business models these days, he says. This year, only 15 percent of the enterprises with which Smith works are participating in a market, a significant decline from years past. Being a vendor can also be a drain on a farm’s resources. “The Burlington market is honestly one of the [only] markets where I think the level of sales is enough to justify the amount of time and expense,” Smith says. “At most of the markets in the state, the value proposition isn’t there.” Bear Roots Farm of South Barre began selling at the Barre and Montpelier markets as it was establishing its new business. “We focused on marketing because we were brand new and nobody knew who we were,” says Karin Bellemare, who owns the farm with her husband, Jon Wagner. Now that they’re established, she says, the goal has shifted from recognition to revenue, and they only participate in the Burlington market. “It’s a very large part of our income now,” Bellemare adds. And it’s much more cost-effective for the couple to attend a single market together. Eventually, they may go the way of Mark Fasching and Christa Alexander of Jericho Settlers Farm, which was a staple at the Burlington Farmers Market for six years. Last summer, Fasching and Alexander took a sabbatical from the market and ultimately decided not to

return, in order to have more family time on the weekends. “We made great money there, it was definitely profitable, but we can make this money elsewhere,” says Alexander. Namely, in the wholesale business. Although Burlington was the most lucrative of all the markets they’ve done, it still accounted for less than 10 percent of their total farm revenue. LePage, on the other hand, relies on his income at the Montpelier market now that the Barre market has collapsed,
which he blames in part on a small customer base and the success of the Bear Roots CSA. For four decades, LePage chose to use farmers markets as his primary sales outlet because he loves speaking with customers, offering samples of seasonal produce such as tiny heirloom cantaloupes and peas, and creating displays and informational signs about his unusual varieties. Now, he suspects his future earnings are tenuous. “It’s really tough,” LePage admits. “My financial
situation is pretty dire. I’m making less money than I was 15 years ago.” It seems that farmers markets best serve farmers when selling at markets makes up just a portion of their revenue. And, unless a farmer has been accepted into one of the state’s larger markets, the endeavor is best treated as a marketing tool rather than a robust source of income. As Jericho Settlers Farm and Bear Roots Farm did, regularly reevaluating the farm’s business model can be essential to making sustainable business choices. That process can uncover ways for farmers to evolve. These days, that means embracing social media. LePage, who has incorporated Facebook into his marketing efforts, finds it’s a good way to drive business to his market stand. Instagram, which focuses on photographs that tell stories, is another popular tool. Sometimes tech, popular culture, and farmers markets coincide with unexpected results. On a rainy market Sunday in July, baker Ren Weiner of Winooski’s Miss Weinerz was worried that the inclement weather would dampen her sales. Partway through the day, the maker of cakes, fermented foods and sourdough doughnuts was already planning to drop her wares off at the Chittenden Emergency Food Shelf. “It was pouring, pouring hard,” she recalls. But, surprisingly, she started selling doughnuts. Before long, she’d run out. Turns out, the uptick in sales was because of Jigglypuff — a pink Pokémon GO character who was “hanging out” near her stand, waiting to be “captured” by smartphone-savvy players. As gamers passed, they purchased doughnuts. “We need more apps that send you to farmers markets,” Weiner suggests. As someone who sources local ingredients for her baked goods and grows some of the ingredients herself, Weiner is conscious that consumers value prepared foods and appreciate knowing where those foods come from. After all, not all pulled-pork sandwiches are created equal. Some begin with a farmer helping a sow give birth to a litter of piglets and end with that very same farmer handing a hot, foil-wrapped bundle to a hungry customer. When a farmer takes her own products and processes them, it’s referred to as “value adding.” Meat becomes sausage, sausage becomes a breakfast sandwich and, theoretically, the farm makes more money. At another stand, that sandwich might be a whole different animal: meat from Costco, fluffy white bread, pickles

hese are dark times, friends. It seems like every time you turn on a television or log into social media, you’re treated to one horribly depressing story after another. Violence, civil unrest, Donald Trump. Even for the sunniest among us, it’s enough to make you want to curl into the fetal position and ride out the next few months (years?) under a heavy blanket with a bottle of bourbon. So we could all use a good laugh, right? Well, here’s some good news. Burlington is presently smack in the middle of the 2016 Green Mountain Comedy Festival. Founded by local comedian Kathleen Kanz in 2009, the GMCF has grown into a sprawling laugh riot with events all over town — and even a couple outside of town. This year’s festival features more than 100 local standup, improv and sketch comedians. That’s in addition to the slew of big-name headliners and hot up-and-coming comics who anchor the fest. The question is: Where to begin? What follows is a day-by-day guide to the best the 2016 GMCF has to offer. For more, check out greenmountaincomedy.com
WEDNESDAY, JULY 20 SKETCH SHOWCASE
Vermont Comedy Club, 7:30 p.m. $12/15.
The local standup comedy scene is well established, and local improv is increasingly popular. Though sketch comedy flies a bit more under the radar, some truly hilarious troupes are writing and performing in these Green Mountains. The Sketch Showcase at Vermont Comedy Club features two of the best. Feed the Meter is the state’s newest entrant, whose favorite targets are pop culture and politics. Headlining are Vermont’s longest-tenured sketch team, Stealing From Work, founded by Angie Albeck and Marianne DiMascio. RECOMMENDED IF YOU LIKE: “Saturday Night Live,” “The Kids in the Hall,” “Key & Peele”
LIZA TREYGER
60 MUSIC
Vermont Comedy Club, 9:30 p.m. $15/18.
Brash, bawdy and occasionally boozy, Chicago’s Liza Treyger is a comedian on the rise. The selfdescribed “casual feminist” has been on “Chelsea Lately,” MTV 2’s “Joking Off ” and “Adam Devine’s House Party” and premiered a half-hour special
on Comedy Central in 2015. The same year, her debut album, Glittercheese, dropped. Treyger thinks dating is dumb and pregnant women are disgusting. (See: “brash, bawdy,” above.) Local standup Bryanna Doe opens; 2016 Vermont’s Funniest Comedian finalist Anya Volz hosts. RIYL: Kyle Kinane, Janeane Garofalo, Amy Schumer
THURSDAY, JULY 21 QUICKFIRE!
Halflounge Speakeasy (Burlington), Sweet Melissa’s (Montpelier), 8 p.m. Free.

At Halflounge Speakeasy in Burlington, catch rapidfire quips from Pete Brown, Cori Marnellos, Ed Brady, Beth Norton, Liz Thompson, Maggie Lenz and host Melissa Moran. At Sweet Melissa’s in Montpeculiar, Kathleen Kanz heads a lineup that includes Bryan Muenzer, Jonah Cipolla, Heather Caldera, Collen Doyle, Ashley Walton and host Suzan Ambrose. RIYL: Aziz Ansari, Paula Poundstone, Mike Birbiglia
SEATON SMITH
Vermont Comedy Club, 8 p.m. $15/18.
You might have seen Seaton Smith on “Girls,” “Inside Amy Schumer” or “Mulaney.” Or you might have caught him opening for Hannibal Buress recently in Burlington. Named one of Vulture’s “50 Comedians You Should Know in 2015,” Smith is a rising star. Time Out New York praised his “naturally effervescent stage presence,” adding that he is “as spirited as he is cerebral.” New York City’s Kyle Ayers is the featured comic; Burlington’s Jade Marcotte hosts. Hannibal Buress, John Mulaney, Donald Glover

Have you ever been to a rap battle? I’m guessing that for a good percentage of the crowd, the answer to that question is “no.” Well, I’d like to urge you to rectify that situation this week and check out the Summer Slam Rap Battle at the Higher Ground Ballroom this Saturday, July 23, presented by the 802 Battle League. (Yes, there is a rap battle league in VT.) Full disclosure: I’ve only been to one rap battle myself, so I’m hardly an authority. It was a couple of years ago at Club Metronome. I was there to see local rapper LEARIC (of the AZTEXT) in a grudge match with another gifted battle

Higher Ground Showcase Lounge on Saturday, July 23. For a week leading up to the showcase, 40 girls, ages 8 to 18, will have been immersed in rock-star training under the tutelage of some of the local scene’s finest female talent. They’re learning valuable lessons about being in a band, from tips on how to better play their instruments to writing songs to the finer points of inter-band dynamics. Especially since rock is still such a male-dominated arena, providing young women with the knowledge and encouragement to get their THAO NGUYEN on is critical and will hopefully go a long way toward closing the gender gap in rock music.

On the surface, it’s kind of a low-key week on the local music scene. We don’t have a marquee festival. The biggest show of the week, NORAH BOLLES, er, JONES at the Flynn MainStage this Friday, July 22, has long been sold out. There sure is a ton of great comedy this week — see facing page for more on that. But to find the real musical gems, we’ve got to dig a little deeper than usual. So let us do exactly that in a classic, rapid-fire edition of Soundbites. Buckle up.
rapper, MEMARANDA. Sadly, that matchup never materialized, as the latter made a rather controversial early exit. But Learic didn’t disappoint, showing why he’s acknowledged as the state’s most dominant battle rapper. All around, it was fascinating theater. There is just something exhilarating about watching two rappers, practically nose to nose, verbally eviscerating one another on the spot. It’s brutish sport but also brilliant art in its foulmouthed way. Learic will be on hand this Saturday, but he won’t just be up against local competition. The battle features 20 rappers, some local or with Vermont ties — such as S.I.N.SIZZLE, who battles New Haven, Conn.’s T. SAWYER in the headlining bout — and many others from Boston, New York and beyond. So if you’re looking for something a bit out of the ordinary for your Saturday night, make your way to the Ballroom.

Here’s a sign that standup comedy in Vermont is a fertile scene: Our best and brightest comics keep moving away. That sounds counterintuitive, but it’s true. Numerous comedians who got their starts on local stages are now pursuing comedy careers elsewhere. It’s sort of like when your favorite local band moves to Brooklyn, only funnier. The Made in Vermont showcase at Club Metronome features several such expats, all of whom honed their funny bones in Vermont. These include Carmen Lagala, Will Betts, Jess Reed, Danny Killea, James Huessy and Ellington Wells.

If you’ve never seen an improv comedy show, this show from NYC improv troupes Bodega and Apollo would be a good place to start. Bodega is a diverse group composed of comedians from Barbados, Cape Verde, Haiti, Mexico and the U.S. Apollo is an improv team formerly of the Upright Citizens Brigade in NYC, whose members have appeared everywhere from “Late Night With Seth Myers” to “The Knick.” For the unfamiliar, the troupes take prompts from the audience and then improvise comedy scenes based on those suggestions. It’s the comic equivalent of a high-wire act, and no two shows are ever the same.

SATURDAY, JULY 23 VERMONT COMEDY DIVAS Vermont Comedy Club, 6 p.m. $12/15.
Long before the Vermont comedy scene exploded, there were the Vermont Comedy Divas. Founded by veteran local comedian Josie Leavitt, the Divas have been performing around the Green Mountains for a decade and feature some of the funniest women ever to call Vermont home, including Tracie Spencer, Autumn Engroff Spencer, Hillary Boone and Sue Schmidt. RIYL: Tig Notaro, Tina Fey, Wanda Sykes
EMO PHILIPS
Vermont Comedy Club, 8 & 10 p.m. $25/29.
This year’s GMCF headliner is Emo Philips, a man Jay Leno once called “the best joke writer in America.” Philips has been performing his offbeat brand of comedy since 1976 and is one of the most respected and admired standups on the planet. Steven Wright, Bobcat Goldthwait, Maria Bamford

VT EXODUS ROAST
Vermont Comedy Club, 11:55 p.m. $10/12.
As mentioned earlier, one of the signs of a healthy comedy scene is that it produces comics who go on to find success elsewhere. Before the next wave of young comics ships off to Los Angeles and New York City, the local scene is sending them off in proper comedic fashion: by mercilessly making fun of them at a roast. Scheduled to appear and/or be taken down a notch are Jess Reed, Anya Volz, Jade Marcotte, Richard Bowen, Lori Goldman, Danny Killea, Will Betts, Taylor Scribner, Grant Robin and Tim Bridge. VCC owners Natalie Miller and Nathan Hartswick serve as roast masters. RIYL: The Friars Club roasts, Don Rickles,

In other news, local indie darlings VILLANELLES are in the midst of a weekly, monthlong residency at Nectar’s. The band commandeers the stage every Wednesday in July, typically with a few friends. On Wednesday, July 20, guests include the MOUNTAIN SAYS NO and DINO BRAVO. That show promises to be really, really loud — and also probably pretty great. And also loud. On Wednesday, July 27, northern VT punks GRAND open.
Reggae fans, take note: This Thursday, July 21, Kingston, Jamaica’s KABAKA PYRAMID returns to Vermont for a show at Club Metronome in Burlington. KP is one of reggae’s bright young stars, fusing roots-reggae melodicism with the lyrical swagger of hip-hop; he cites the likes of PETER TOSH and NAS as equally influential on his music. KP has won or been nominated for practically every major reggae award on the planet — save for a Grammy. But who cares about the Grammys? Joining the singer are the BEBBLE ROCKERS and special guest EXCO LEVI. DIGITAL ANCIENT will perform a live dub set, and local reggae DJs BIG DOG and JAHSON will spin choice selections as well.
COUNTERPOINT CHORUS Saturday, July 23, 8 pm
Last but not least, congrats to LUIS
CALDERIN! Sen. BERNIE SANDERS’ director
of arts, culture and the youth vote has recently signed on for a new gig with Rock the Vote. RTV is a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization that aims to mobilize young voters by appealing to them through music, art and culture, which is pretty much exactly what Calderin’s job was with Bernie. Seems like a good fit, no? Calderin says he’ll be based in Burlington but will travel frequently to Los Angeles and Washington, D.C. Here’s hoping the local DJ will find some time to get back behind the decks in BTV on occasion.

of smaller fests this week that should tide you over until TWIDDLE, the LUMINEERS and others take over Waterfront Park in Burlington at next week’s Lake Champlain Maritime Festival. The first is a rustic little hootenanny in Danby called the Danby Olde Country & Bluegrass Festival. This three-day fest runs Thursday through Saturday, July 21 through 23, and features a handful of local and regional bluegrass and country talent. These include BEARTRACKS, COREY ZINK & COUNTY LINE, the FEINBERG BROTHERS, the SETH SAWYER BAND and the festival host band, JUST PASSIN’ THROUGH, among others. For more on the festival, including the charmingly downhome story of the fest’s origins, visit danbyoldecountrybluegrassfestival. wordpress.com. Meanwhile, the NoTown Music & Art Funstival debuts this weekend at Tweed River Tubing in Stockbridge. The two-day festival runs Friday and Saturday, July 22 and 23, and features a solid little lineup of local Americana talent. The headliner is BOW THAYER, who used to host his own festival in Stockbridge, the Tweed River Music Festival. Also on the bill are KELLY RAVIN, LOWELL THOMPSON, RICK REDINGTON & THE LUV, HAMJOB, SONIC MALFUNKTION and JENNY PORTER, among others. Check out notownfestival. com for more info.

REVIEW this WDY, Days of Youth
Though the electronic album is largely wordless, Woodard carefully selected certain vocal samples to give voice to the concepts of his compositions. On “Sunsets,” for example, local rapper Learic sermonizes on what it means to be an artist and just how much work and emotion goes into producing art behind the scenes. “People don’t see what has made you you,” he says over a shimmering bed of synth. “It’s not even
about what you’ve done. It’s about what you set in motion.” Woodard has clearly taken Learic’s words to heart. On his earlier recordings, Woodard’s results didn’t always reach the admittedly lofty heights of his outsize ambition. But he’s dedicated himself to his craft wholeheartedly, and it shows. Each cut here is sonically provocative and efficiently crafted. Woodard has learned that tact and nuance are just as effective as blown-out production. The result is the work of a maturing artist. Woodard has also learned to ask for help. Where he previously worked almost exclusively alone, on Days of Youth he’s enlisted the aid of some talented friends. Local songwriter Ebn Ezra turns up on “Pillow Talk,” which could pass for an outtake from an early mixtape by the Weeknd. And VT expat Guthrie Galileo drops in on the album’s
penultimate track, “Until We Meet Again.” Woodard says he picked the brains of numerous local electronic musicians in composing the album, and that influence is apparent in every crisp drop and creative change. At its core, Days of Youth is an album about growth. Woodard’s inspiration derives from questions about personal growth, what it means to be a grownup, a better person and friend. But he found his answers in his artistic growth. As Learic suggests on “Sunsets,” those two things are inextricably related. To paraphrase, if you feed your art, it feeds your heart — and vice versa. Matt Woodard did precisely that and came up with the strongest and most profound release of his young career. Days of Youth by WDY is available at wdymusic.bandcamp.com.
are lean and haunting, full of short lines that evoke big pictures, and always more stoic than sentimental. It’s also painfully confessional stuff. This isn’t a collection of journal entries, though. The album is built on serious songwriting that examines how we cope with death. It’s nakedly raw but very creative and calculated, often using literary devices to find new angles. “Roseabelle Believe” uses Harry Houdini’s fascination with the afterlife as a frame for coming to grips with
the permanence of loss. “Bethany,” a standout track, introduces a fictional protagonist to depict the breaking point when grief finally begins to subside. Closing song “Watership Down” is a powerfully ambiguous anthem about survivor’s guilt that only hints at recovery or transcendence. Everyone in CBRASNKE has serious chops, and the gravity of it all shouldn’t overshadow the fact that this is pure, ass-kicking hardcore metal. They sound confident at any tempo, from the blistering sprint of opener “Born in the wringer” to the grinding, Black Sabbath-like expanse of instrumental piece “Dyatlov Pass.” Sonically, the album is impeccable. The band recorded all instrumental tracks at GodCity Studio in Salem, Mass., a hardcore haven owned by Converge guitarist Kurt Ballou. The vocals were recorded later by Urian Hackney (Rough Francis) in Burlington. Engineer Robert Cheesman is a seasoned professional, and every
track sounds huge and heavy but radio ready. …But first they must catch you is both a monumental tribute to Reynolds and a testament to hard-won personal growth. There are no easy answers or condolence-card clichés here, and, despite all the unflinching selfexamination, it never lapses into navelgazing indulgence or mere self-abuse. That’s quite a tightrope to walk for a full-length album. It will be interesting to see where future projects take this impressive young band. For now, its members are fundraising for a vinyl edition of their debut and booking a tour that should take them as far as Cuba and Central America. The fire they’ve got on tap could take them farther than that. Let’s hope this dark chapter is just the beginning of a much bigger story. …But first the must catch you by CBRA SNKE is available at cbrasnke. bandcamp.com.
(SELF-RELEASED, DIGITAL DOWNLOAD)
We’ll say this for Matt Woodard: The kid’s got ambition. Recording as WDY, the 22-year-old electronic producer and St. Albans native released five albums and EPs from April 2013 through December 2014. He showed budding promise from the first and exhibited increased refinement and musical acumen to match his endless curiosity on each successive recording. Woodard’s workmanlike grind was all prelude to his latest effort, the sprawling Days of Youth, a 16-track opus that stands as his most fully realized musical statement. Scratch that. The album, which is accompanied by a deeply impressionistic short film, is Woodard’s finest artistic statement. As its title implies, growing up is a central theme of Days of Youth.

CBRASNKE — pronounced “cobra snake” — are a Burlington hardcore band whose debut album, …But first they must catch you, is inseparable from the tragic loss of their friend, drummer Collin Reynolds, who died in 2015. Reynolds, along with most members of CBRASNKE, belonged to As We Were, a fiery and precocious band that imploded as he was fighting cystic fibrosis. …But first they must catch you was written during this time, and the result is cathartic and remarkably honest. There is grief and anger, of course. But atonement is the theme that really emerges as the emotional core. The album is not just about facing death; it’s about facing our own moral failures and having the courage to change. The lyrics

Following a handful of lo-fi cassette releases, JB recently released a full-length LP, Psychopomp, that highlights her restless musical curiosity and deeprooted affinity for pop melodies.

The Art of Politics Feel the Bern adult coloring contest: the top three! B Y PA M EL A POL STON
First Runner-Up: Tom Abernathy Whether or not one agrees with the message, there’s no denying that Tom Abernathy appropriated our coloring page in a very clever way. With brown and red marker, the 42-year-old Burlington resident nearly obscured the subject, Bernie Sanders, and in yellow and turquoise managed to graphically impose the name of the Republican presumptive nominee, Trump, along with the year, ’16. Underneath, the face and every other finger of Sanders are rendered in silver — the other fingers are red, as are his glass frames. Frankly, he looks pretty creepy. “That was a result of my being at work with a limited color palette of markers,” Abernathy said modestly, declining to reveal his workplace. Asked why he entered the contest, he said, “I’m a Trump supporter, so I thought I’d give a different perspective — I thought maybe nobody else would.” He got that almost right; another entry was ambiguously grim. “Subversive yet easy to digest,” wrote one judge, who gave Abernathy high marks. “While I disagree with the sentiment, this was a creative take on the assignment!” praised another. We congratulate Abernathy’s artistic vision and unorthodox use of office highlighter.

n the July 6 all-cartoon issue of Seven Days, we presented our first-ever adult coloring contest, modeled after the coloring contest that appears each month in Kids VT, our parenting magazine. For the drawing we called upon the fabulously talented local artist Marc Nadel, our go-to guy for caricatures. And you can see why: His picture of Sen. Bernie Sanders, along with some flora and fauna, a swirly headline, a rainbow and a crowd of sign-carrying followers, perfectly mimics the cartoonish complexity of adult coloring books. We knew that adult coloring was a hugely popular phenomenon, but, even so, we were surprised and pleased to receive several dozen entries from readers. Most of the participants called the activity “super fun” and thanked us for the opportunity to get out the crayons. As far as we can tell, this is also called “reverting to childhood.” Not surprisingly, the results varied wildly, from elegant pages colored within the lines to some that went way the heck beyond them. Our top three — selected by Seven Days staffers — represent this range quite nicely.

Wrote one judge: “A+ for added messaging and collage effect.” It’s small consolation for Bernie, who has had to concede that Hillary Clinton won the Democratic nomination. Brown, however, is still true blue: “I’m probably gonna write his

Montpelier presents a solo exhibition of works created over the past seven years by the
Bennington artist. Bouchard claims her abstract oils and watercolors are “very much about the wonder of materials and mark making,” and that when starting a work, she channels “the archetypal child” by doodling. Bouchard additionally renounces preciousness by making use of found and gifted materials; her works were included in the recent show “Salvage” at the Chandler Gallery in Randolph.

movies Ghostbusters ★★★★★
T
alk about coming full circle. Or history repeating itself. Or just plain getting old. The original 1984 Ghostbusters was one of the first movies I reviewed as a professional critic. Think of it: 32 years ago. Born five months before its release, Kate McKinnon was literally in diapers. That might seem like a long time, but it’s probably just about the right interval to wait before readdressing a classic. Too many films that aren’t remotely classics are remade these days, even as the original’s still streaming on Netflix. Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (2001), for example. Has the public really indicated its desperate need for a new Croft flick, or is Hollywood just more creatively bankrupt than ever? I digress. The great Paul Feig (Bridesmaids), along with his pretty darn great cowriter Katie Dippold (The Heat), has resurrected, reimagined and rebooted the beloved comedy and done so with both tremendous respect and exemplary finesse. This is a picture with more nice touches than a shiatsu massage. First and foremost, there’s the inspired decision to flip the genders of the principals. Feig’s films have always maintained that female police officers, high-level govern-
ment staff and secret agents can be every bit as competent — and loony — as their male counterparts. Why not, then, make them Ghostbusters? Of course, it doesn’t hurt to have a cast this hilarious. If there are four funnier females than Kristen Wiig, McKinnon, Leslie Jones and Melissa McCarthy making movies today, they’re making them on another planet. These are the queens of comedy. Prudently, the script wastes minimal time on setup. Faster than you can say, “Don’t cross the streams,” the four women have gone into business together, rented an office over a Chinese restaurant and worked the bugs out of their proton packs. Their outfits are a gift from Jones’ Patty, a former MTA employee who presumably figures that if they’re going to save New York City, they might as well look like they work for it. Pals Erin (Wiig) and Abby (McCarthy) have always shared a fascination with the supernatural. Jillian (McKinnon) has always been a gearhead. And Patty’s just seen a ghost in a subway tunnel and is afraid. She signs on to help wipe out the specters. “Someone’s created a device that amplifies paranormal activity,” McCarthy discovers — something that’s not great for Manhattan but really good for business. This would

be a nerd of evil named Rowan North (Neil Casey), whose plan is to unleash an ectoplasmic tsunami on the city. In one of the sheboot’s most wonderful scenes, our heroes confront the mayor (Andy Garcia) and plead with him to take action. “Please don’t be like the mayor in Jaws,” begs Wiig. Needless to say, the effects are more sophisticated than they were in 1984 (if rivers of fluorescent vomit can be described as “sophisticated”), the gadgets are more impressive than ever and the surviving members of the original crew pop by for cameos. The most extended — and funniest — is Bill Murray’s. “Is this a good time?” he asks with a smirk, playing a professional debunker paying a surprise visit to Ghostbusters head-
quarters. Of course, it’s always a good time when Murray pops by. The Times Square finale is a thing of CGI beauty, with the four women facing down a delightfully frightful mashup of old and new spooks. Standouts include holdovers such as Slimer, along with more recent developments like sinister Macy’s parade balloons. That crucial balance of the old and new is just one of many things the director gets exactly right. From the iconic theme music to the laid-back, take-nothing-too-seriously tone, the DNA of Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis’ gut buster flows through every frame of Paul Feig’s Ghostbusters.

The Infiltrator ★★★
A
biopic about an undercover federal crime fighter can go two ways. It can delve deep and journalistically into the procedural details of the job, à la “The Wire.” Or it can focus on the excitement of impersonating a bad guy, emulating the hedonistic exuberance of Goodfellas. In this adaptation of Robert Mazur’s book, director Brad Furman (The Lincoln Lawyer) doesn’t fully commit to either strategy. The result is a film full of splashy set pieces that never build to anything interesting. The biggest problem is the unfocused figure at the center of the film. The story of Mazur (Bryan Cranston) is full of dramatic potential: In the 1980s, working for U.S. Customs in Tampa, Fla., he played a key role in a landmark takedown of the Medellín cartel’s money-laundering operation. Playing the role of corrupt, mob-connected businessman “Bob Musella,” Mazur lived the high life, fêting drug dealers at a borrowed mansion and even showing off a “fiancée” (Diane Kruger) who was a fellow undercover agent. In theory, his is a story that allows the audience to enjoy both the thrill of ill-gotten gains and the satisfaction of seeing the bad guys put in cuffs. But did Mazur himself enjoy any of this? The screenplay by Ellen Brown Furman puts him front and center yet keeps his motives frustratingly vague. Clearly we’re meant to deduce them from a scene
THE HIGH LIFE Cranston and Kruger play undercover agents pretending to be living large off cocaine profits in Furman’s tepid biopic.
in which Mazur gets schooled by his acerbic Aunt Vicky (Olympia Dukakis). She represents his forebears, some of whom were themselves criminals. But it’s not clear why her lecture on family honor inspires Mazur to cling to his dangerous, unlucrative job, especially when his own family begins to suffer as a result of the double life he’s leading.
No doubt Cranston seemed like a natural choice because of his role on “Breaking Bad,” where he likewise split his time between suburbia and squalor. But Walter White had clear goals and a tragic flaw: He liked being bad. Here, Cranston pulls out all his familiar twitches and tics, hinting at shadiness and ambivalence, yet we’re never given concrete reason to doubt that
Mazur is anything but a standup guy doing his job. To compensate for this static protagonist, Furman stuffs the film with flamboyant supporting characters. From Mazur’s hothead partner (John Leguizamo) to a white-suited, sexually aggressive gay Medellín operative (Yul Vazquez), many of the people on-screen seem to have stories more compelling than the one we’re watching. Feeling long at slightly over two hours, The Infiltrator is a patchwork of elements that tantalize us without satisfying. Twice in the film, Mazur’s operation is saved from certain discovery by sheer luck — a pattern that, whether or not it reflects true events, makes his character seem passive and the audience feel manipulated. Without a strong sense of cause and effect, the plot becomes just a bunch of stuff happening. There are would-be operatic scenes of decadence (often set to painfully on-thenose songs); there are long tracking shots; there are period fashions galore; there are fitful hints of the ultimate futility of Reagan’s war on drugs. But the film is neither enlightening enough to rivet us nor suspenseful enough to make us care about its elaborate finale. Imagine American Hustle without the (somewhat) saving grace of silliness, and you have a period piece that won’t send anyone out on a high. MARGO T HARRI S O N

Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie SEVEN DAYS
They predate "Sex and the City." They're more shamelessly decadent, less politically correct and (some would argue) more wickedly funny. Now Patsy and Edina (Joanna Lumley and Jennifer Saunders), the idly rich, attention-seeking stars of the BBC sitcom "Absolutely Fabulous," get their own movie, directed by Mandie Fletcher. In it, the two friends flee to the south of France after "accidentally" knocking Kate Moss off a balcony. You can see what happens next starting Friday at Merrill's Roxy Cinemas in Burlington. Offbeat Flick of the Week: We pick an indie, foreign, cultish or just plain odd movie that hits local theaters, DVD or video on demand this week. If you want an alternative to the blockbusters, try this!

REAL FREE WILL ASTROLOGY BY ROB BREZSNY JULY 21-27
with jugglers, rodeo clowns, acrobats, carnival barkers and stuntpersons. Am I, therefore, just a charming buffoon? An amusing goofball who provides diversion from life’s serious matters? I’m fine with that. I may prefer to regard myself as a sly oracle inflamed with holy madness, but the service I provide is probably more effective if my ego doesn’t get the specific glory it yearns for. In this way, I have certain resemblances to the Taurus tribe during the next four weeks. Is it OK if you achieve success without receiving all of the credit you think you deserve?
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
Capricorns may be the hardest workers of the zodiac, and Tauruses the most dogged. But in the coming weeks, I suspect you Cancerians will be the smartest workers. You will efficiently surmise the precise nature of the tasks at hand and do what’s necessary to accomplish them. There’ l be no false starts or reliance on iffy data or slapdash trial-and-error experiments. You’ll have a light touch as you find innovative shortcuts that produce better results than would be possible via the grind-it-out approach.
ARIES
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): A directory pub-
lished by the U.S. Department of Labor says that my gig as an astrologer shares a category
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): My friend’s 12-yearold daughter Brianna got a B on her summer school math test. She might have earned an A if it weren’t for a problem her teacher had with some of her work. “You got the right answer by making two mistakes that happened to cancel each other out,” he wrote on her paper next to question seven. I suspect you will soon have a similar experience. Leo. But the difference between you and Brianna is that I’m giving you an A. All that matters in the end is that you succeed. I don’t care if your strategy is a bit funky. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Have ever fantasized about being a different gender or race or astrological sign? Do you suspect it might be fun and liberating to completely change your wardrobe or your hairstyle or your body language? The coming weeks will be an excellent
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): The Golden Goose
Award is given annually to “scientists whose work may have been considered silly, odd or obscure when first conducted,” but which ultimately produced dramatic advances. Entomologists Raymond Bushland and Edward Knipling were this year’s winners. More than 60 years ago they started tinkering with the sex life of the screwworm fly in an effort to stop the pest from killing livestock and wildlife throughout the American South. At first their ideas were laughed at, even ridiculed. In time they were lauded for their pioneering breakthroughs. I suspect you’ll be blessed with a vindication of your own in the coming weeks, Libra. It may not be as monumental as Bushland’s and Knipling’s, but I bet it’ll be deeply meaningful for you.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): I hope it doesn’t
sound too paradoxical when I urge you to intensify your commitment to relaxation. I will love it, and more importantly your guardian angel will love it, if you become a fierc devotee of slowing down and chilling out. Get looser and cozier and more spacious, damn it! Snuggle more. Cut back on overthinking and trying too hard. Vow to become a high master of the mystic art of I-don’t-give-a-fuck. It’s your sacred duty to steal more slack from the soulanesthetizing grind.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): I regular-
ly travel back through time from the year 2036 so as to be here with you. It’s tough to be away from the thrilling transformations that are under way there. But it’s in a good cause. Th bedraggled era that you live in needs frequent doses of the vigorous optimism that’s so widespread in 2036, and I’m happy to disseminate it. Why am I confessing this? Because I suspect you now have an extra talent for gazing into the unknown and exploring undiscovered
possibilities. You also have an unprecedented power to set definite intentions about the life you want to be living in the future. Who will you be fi e years from today? Ten years? Twenty years? Be brave. Be visionary. Be precise.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Here’s one
strategy you could pursue, I guess: You could spank the Devil with a feather duster as you try to coax him to promise that he will never again trick you with a bogus temptation. But I don’t think that would work, frankly. It may have minor shock value, in which case the Devil might leave you in peace for a short time. Here’s what I suggest instead: Work at raising your discernment so high that you can quickly identify, in the future, which temptations will deliver you unto evil confusion and which will feed and hone your most noble desires.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): After a cool,
dry period, you’ll soon be slipping into a hot, wet phase. The reasonable explanations that generated so much apathy are about to get turned inside-out. The seemingly good excuses that provided cover for your timidity will be exposed as impractical lies. Are you ready for your passion to roar back into fashion? Will you know what to do when suppressed yearnings erupt and the chemicals of love start rampaging through your soft, warm animal body? I hereby warn you about the oncoming surge of weird delight — and sing “Hallelujah!” for the revelatory fun it will bring.
PISCES
(Feb. 19-March 20): I’m composing your horoscope on my iPhone after midnight on a crowded bus that’s crammed with sweaty revelers. We’re being transported back to civilization from a rural hideaway where we spent the last 12 hours at a raging party. I still feel ecstatic from the recent bacchanal, but the ride is uncomfortable. I’m pinned against a window by a sleepy, drunken dude who’s not in full control of his body. But do I allow my predicament to interfere with my holy meditation on your destiny? I do not — just as I trust you will keep stoking the fires of your own inspiration in the face of comparable irritations. You have been on a hot streak, my dear. Don’t let anything tamp it down!
SEVENDAYSVT.COM
(March 21-April 19): You now have more luxuriant access to divine luck than you’ve had in a long time. For the foreseeable future, you could be able to induce semimiraculous twists of fate that might normally be beyond your capacities. But here’s a caveat: The good fortune swirling in your vicinity may be odd or irregular or hard to understand. To harvest it, you will have to expand your ideas about what constitutes good fortune. It may bestow powers you didn’t even realize it was possible to have. For example, what if you temporarily have an acute talent for gravitating toward situations where smart love is in full play?
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Over the course of a 57-year career, Japanese movie director Akira Kurosawa won 78 major awards for his work, including a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Oscars. Among the filmmaker who’ve named him as an inspirational infl ence are heavyweights like Ingmar Bergman, Werner Herzog, Bernardo Bertolucci, Robert Altman, Francis Ford Coppola, and Martin Scorsese. But Kurosawa wasn’t too haughty to create lighter fare. At age 86, he departed from his epic dramas to create a 30-second commercial for a yogurt drink. Did that compromise his artistic integrity? I say no. Even a genius can’t be expected to create nonstop masterpieces. Be inspired by Kurosawa, Gemini. In the coming weeks, give your best to even the most modest projects.
time to experiment with these variables, and with any others that would enable you to play with your identity and mutate your self-image. You have a cosmic exemption from imitating what you have done in the past. In this spirit, feel free to read all the other signs’ horoscopes and act on the one you like best. Your word of power is “shapeshifter.”

When I’m having a moment to myself (wink, wink), I often feel like I just peed myself. Was that an orgasm, or did I actually pee? And why did it happen so fast? It was like a big flow of liquid coming out.
Signed,
Dear Wet,
Wet the Bed
Don’t sweat it! I’ve covered this territory before, and that’s no surprise, since this is a totally common query. Check out my response to “Pee Disaster” (October 8, 2014) online at sevendaysvt.com. You’ll get some insight into another reader’s stress and confusion about a similar situation. So to you and all the other ladies who might be wondering what’s going on when the juices are flowing: Read on for a refresher. You probably didn’t pee. But, just to be sure, did it smell like urine? Did you have to pee before you got busy with yourself? If you did, no worries — accidents happen, after all. You must have had to go pretty badly but got distracted by the good feelings going on down there. The last thing you wanted to do was stop for a potty break. If incontinence is an issue for you, try exercising your pelvic floor muscles y practicing kegels. You can practice by pretending to start and stop the flow of pee. It will encourage the muscles to be strong and tight. Give it a try. You’ll feel results quickly. But what most likely occurred was a bit of harmless squirting. Squirting is when a woman releases fluid around the urethra. Its often confused with urine, as it feels quite similar. But here’s the awesome part: The release of that liquid, similar to the release of sperm in a guy, is a result of intense G-spot stimulation. So whatever it was you were doing, you were doing it right. Don’t let this incident throw you off your masturbation game. Keep exploring ways to make yourself feel super stimulated. It’ll come in handy the next time you’re getting it on with someone other than yourself, because then you’ll be the best kind of tour guide.
Yours,
Athena
