Natural Area, where many people park for the event. “It wasn’t a safe environment,” he said, noting that people looked drunk when they retrieved their cars. “It was scary. You could tell that people had been drinking and they should not have been driving,” Warren said. He added: “I just don’t want anyone to get hurt.” Colchester Police Chief Jennifer Morrison was sympathetic. “I’ve been straight up that we do not want this event back in our community in 2017,” she said. She urged residents to call police if they spot any problems. Dewyea, who was at the meeting, heard the concerns. He pledged to seek out more volunteers to pick up trash and to get the event to run more smoothly. “Has it gotten too large for the area?” he asked. He answered his own question: “Probably, yes.” He said he’s unlikely to do it again next year. Read Walsh’s full blog post at sevendaysvt.com.

eremy Dewyea, a Milton man who drives a lumber truck for a living, organized the first Raftapalooza back in 2012. Colchester’s floating offshore party has grown each year, and last summer more than 1,000 people bobbed and partied on Lake Champlain. They lashed their motorboats together to form a flotilla, drank beer on paddleboards and rafts, and “rocked out to a band set up on a raft off Thayer Beach,” staff writer Molly Walsh wrote on our Off Message blog. They caused a stir, too. In anticipation of this year’s Raftapalooza — it’s set for July 23 — residents came together June 29 at the Colchester Police Department to complain about the noise, public drunkenness and trash they say it has generated in the past. Last year’s perfect weather drew too big a crowd, according to Kyle Warren, who lives by the Rossetti

FEEDback READER REACTION TO RECENT ARTICLES
MARINA FOR WHOM?
[“Burlington Harbor Marina Gets Council Approval,” June 28] is hardly a win for city residents and taxpayers. First, the lease terms are minimal — about $2,200 a month during the first year month and barely twice that for years two through 40. Yes, the city will take a cut of the gate — whether gross or net isn’t clear in the agreement — but the first $565,000 is exempt in year one, and, as reporter Alicia Freese writes, the first $1.13 million is exempt thereafter. And BHM will have the free use of 23 parking spaces in season. Had Burlington Parks & Recreation been allowed to build it, we could have done much better financially. What else is not to like? Consultants estimate that $125,000 may be needed to shore up the footings on the south wall of city’s water treatment facility. Then there’s the $800,000 in direct TIF subsidy to the developers whose repayment from tax increments on leased public property seems a contradiction in terms. Third, maps of the project indicate boat launching facilities but virtually no boat storage. That was a puzzle until one notices an 11-foot road from the launching ramp to the Urban Reserve. This project will operate as a marine storage facility for much of the year, but its constrained footprint will require the use of Urban Reserve for boat maintenance and storage. What profit-oriented marina wouldn’t sell repair services and storage? All parties to this agreement should spell out their plans for the Urban Reserve
TIM NEWCOMB
or erase that dotted line that indicates a road running from the marina to the heart of our northern public park area. Charles Simpson
BURLINGTON
TROUBLED WATERS
[“Rowing Pains,” June 29] missed the crux of this story. The online headline, “Water Rights: Scullers vs. Motorboats in Craftsbury,” is dumbed down and incendiary. Scullers and motorboats are not the issue. Craftsbury Outdoor Center, the commercial operation that brings scullers to Great Hosmer Pond in numbers far greater than is practical, is. Since Judy Geer and Dick Dreissigacker purchased it in 2008, COC has consistently pushed the lake’s capacity. Many public users of the lake are put off by COC’s attitude that its use of the lake is somehow more prestigious and thus more worthy. Great Hosmer is legally defined as a Vermont public body of water. While one can cocoon COC as a nonprofit inside a foundation, in reality, it’s a commercial operation, if not an outright R&D arm of Concept2. There is significant disparity between what COC claims to be and what in practice it really is. While COC offers “perks” to the community, these are well-placed public relations maneuvers designed to placate the locals and help grease the, uh, oar locks. Don’t think for a minute this isn’t about the money.
WEEK IN REVIEW
Past generations have made peaceful and coexisting use of the lake. The presence of COC has changed the chemistry and created chaos at Great Hosmer. Is there another public body of water in Vermont where the public needs to set up an appointment in order to use a lake? Michael Thurston

TRUMP TEST
In Paul Heintz’s June 29 Fair Game column [“Truant Story”], he notes that gubernatorial candidate Bruce Lisman hasn’t yet figured out whether he will support Donald Trump. At this stage, with all of the publicly available information, if Lisman isn’t smart enough to know whether he supports Trump or not, then he’s obviously not smart enough to be governor.

DERBY
IN DEFENSE OF RAFTAPALOOZA
I’m at a loss for words with regard to the flat-out negativity toward Raftapalooza [Off Message: “Planned Raftapalooza Makes Waves in Colchester,” June 30]. It’s one event, one day that celebrates those who like to take to the water and enjoy life, people, relaxation, friends. What gives? Most people have docks from which they travel or use the Malletts Bay access. The cars and trash are from beachgoers, and that is constant throughout the year. Every event has its limiting factors. I dislike the Colchester marathon. It creates traffic havoc; people are everywhere. I’m trapped at home for hours unless I leave town early and return late. What about the Fourth of July celebration? Parades and concert series? I’m disappointed in the chief’s opinion, ill wishes and statements. Can’t we learn to enjoy what makes us human? Or we could cancel every public event and sit home and watch TV. P.S. Thanks, Jeremy Dewyea and crew, for all you have done!

Any law-abiding gun owner would have seen that the type of deal Heintz pulled borders on the illegal if not immoral. I will bet you anything that the gun in question was stolen. Would he have bought a TV or CD player under those conditions? Then to top it off, Brain Dead leaves the gun in his backseat of his car in downtown Burlington. I guess they should expand the questions on the federal form to include: Are you now or have you ever been a member of the press? An affirmative is an automatic rejection!
SEVENDAYSVT.COM
I want to sincerely thank Paul Heintz for [Fair Game: “The Gun,” June 15]. I hope that this story will shock the state out of its general smugness about its gun laws. That he could purchase something so lethal without at least getting carded — like the people buying beer later on in his piece — is something to contemplate with awe. Burlington Police Chief Brandon del Pozo said of Heintz’s purchase: “We’re beginning to see some of the consequences of access to these types of weapons.” I survived a drive-by shooting. About 20 years after that, I lost a female friend to semiautomatic fire — over a town zoning issue. The shooter, a responsible gun owner up until then, had purchased a weapon similar to Heintz’s and in nearly as casual a manner. I knew the man, too. It is evident that few in our status quo really care about those who pay the consequences. Orlando will change nothing. Neither will the next one. Vermont has been extremely lucky that it has not endured its own Aurora, Newtown or Tucson. This could change at any second. Maybe the next individual who buys an AR-15 in a parking lot will not be so altruistic as Heintz.

Telling stories primarily with pictures is a challenge for writers because, you know, we like to use our words. But with the help of 17 ARTISTS, we reduced storylines to their essence for this fourth annual edition. Those artists range from current students at the CENTER FOR CARTOON STUDIES to longtime New Yorker contributor EDWARD KOREN. The latter, Vermont’s CARTOONIST LAUREATE, drew our cover in his famously hirsute style. Not all cartoons are “funnies,” of course. Inside you’ll find serious pieces about Vermont’s NEW LAWS, REFUGEE RESETTLEMENT and COMMUNITY POLICING. And we cover the arts with more art: a local KAREN CARPENTER tribute, a comic avatar of musician BILLY BRATCHER, a Japanese TATTOO EXHIBIT and more. Oh, and do enter our first-ever ADULT COLORING CONTEST! Go ahead, color the Bern.

The first four applications, Sturm says, are graduating from the University of California at Berkeley, Cornell, Dartmouth and Bryn Mawr.

Bear Grylls to Shoot a Show on Lake Champlain — With Shaq? Get ready for a Shaq attack. Ex-NBA great Shaquille O’Neal is expected to perform a stunt for a reality TV show that is shooting this week on Lake Champlain. A producer for the NBC program “Running Wild With Bear Grylls” visited the Coast Guard station on the Burlington waterfront last Thursday to ask Coasties to participate in the event, said Jason Balmer, a petty officer first class who met with the producer. The producer said the 7-foot-1 legend, who will be inducted this year into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, will likely be a guest on an episode to be shot Friday or Saturday on the New York side of the lake, according to Balmer. It would be filmed near the town of Willsboro, about 30 miles south of Plattsburgh. The episode will include some aquatic derring-do, possibly involving a helicopter and a drone. Producers asked the Coast Guard to “be in part of the show,” Balmer said. “The Coast Guard would assist Bear Grylls by getting them out of the situation, getting them out of the water.” Ballmer said he didn’t know exactly what the stunt would be: “It’s something to do with their show — a survival-type thing.” The request has gone up the chain of command, and higher-ups outside of Burlington are deciding whether or not the local Coast Guard can take part, Balmer said. “Wild” features host Grylls and various celebrity guests as they paddle through crocodile-infested waters, scale cliffs, wander the desert and swim through pounding surf. Past guests include President Barack Obama — who appeared with Grylls in Alaska — actor Zac Efron and actress Michelle Rodriguez.

Two years after the legislature approved it, Vermont’s much-ballyhooed, first-in-the-nation law requiring the labeling of food produced by genetic engineering went into effect Friday. Advocates say it is a signal achievement in consumer rights. But it’s not clear how much change the average consumer will immediately notice. The Vermont Office of the Attorney General says that because many packaged foods have long shelf lives, regulators are essentially granting a six-month grace period. Until January 1, regulators will assume that improperly labeled foods were packaged and distributed before Friday, and manufacturers will not be held liable if the labels are not in compliance. However, the Attorney General’s Office warned that no manufacturer, retailer or producer will be granted an extension beyond that, and manufacturers can be fined $1,000 per violation. The Associated Press reported that large companies such as General Mills and Campbell’s have printed and shipped labels complying with the law and foresee no problems. Coca-Cola has said that some of its smaller brands could be temporarily unavailable in Vermont. And
U.S. Forest Service employees talk with participants at the Rainbow Family gathering
ACLU Criticizes Heavy-Handed Policing of Rainbow Gathering The American Civil Liberties Union of Vermont criticized the U.S. Forest Service and law enforcement agencies for what it called overzealous policing of the Rainbow Family of Living Light’s gathering in the Green Mountain National Forest. The ACLU said it was inundated with complaints from Rainbow campers that police were running checkpoint-like stops, detaining people for minor infractions and subjecting them to drug searches without reasonable suspicion. “We’ve also been told that people are pressured to consent to searches of their person, vehicle or belongings; that they are subjected to abusive and prolonged questioning by state, local and federal law enforcement; and that citations ... for petty federal offenses on public federal lands are being issued,” the ACLU said in a statement on Friday. The ACLU’s comments come a day after Gov. Peter Shumlin called on law enforcement to ease up on the participants at the gathering in Mount Tabor. “I don’t want anyone harassed; I don’t want anyone hassled,” Shumlin said, according to WCAX. “Let’s live and let live.” A Seven Days reporter spent time at the campsite and observed some light marijuana use but no acts of violence or serious disorder. Police, ranging from three officers to almost a dozen, kept a constant presence at the entrance to the camp. The crowd size peaked over the Fourth of July weekend with more than 10,000 attending, according to the forest service.
MARK DAVIS
WCAX reported that Price Chopper confirmed that more than 3,000 products would not be stocked in its Vermont stores, including some products from Del Monte Foods and Hostess Brands. Meanwhile, Vermont’s GMO law is still threatened. A bipartisan U.S. Senate GMO labeling bill — one seen as more lax than Vermont’s and favored by food manufacturers — would preempt Vermont’s law. Some argue that state-by-state labeling laws across the country will be unwieldy.

THE STRAIGHT DOPE BY CECIL ADAMS
Now that the sea levels are rising, I’m sure someone out there is already thinking of ways of making a few quid/bucks (not that I’m interested myself, you understand). Who will profit — or, indeed, profiteer — from this sea change? Chris

SEVENDAYSVT.COM
I
submit to you, Chris, that given the various depredations of our modern era, the distinction between profiting and profiteering is, like the Louisiana coastline, rapidly eroding. In the olden days, profiteering involved an emergency, such as war, motivating an enterprising fella to rush in and make an easy buck. Now, of course, we face a prospect of constant emergency, from steadily rising sea levels to increasingly extreme storms to lethal heat waves. It’s a good time to be in the air-conditioning business, is all I’m saying. But there’s profiting and there’s profiting, if you know what I mean. So in the spirit of Old Testament-style judgment, I thought I’d arrange various ways one might cash in on climate change from least to most evil. Those wanting to make a profit in this arena are advised to stick near the top of this list if they want to keep their souls. Renewable energy. One hopes, frankly, that there’s a greedy upstart or two out there trying to get rich off solar, wind,
geothermal, etc.; may they ever proliferate. Flood mitigation. A proposed set of enormous gates, to be installed south of New York City’s Verrazano-Narrows Bridge as protection from another Hurricane Sandy-like storm surge, might cost something like $10 billion to build — which is, frankly, a steal given the potential scale of future flooding damage. Per tech website the Verge, flood-defense construction’s an industry that’s “poised to take off ”: It might hit $2 billion in the U.S. by 2020. Trade. Hey, ice might be melting in the Arctic faster than anyplace else in the world, but that’s a boon for shipping. When the Northern Sea Route — along Russia’s Arctic coast and through the Bering Strait — is open, as opposed to frozen, the trip from Europe to China shortens by nearly a third. Land grabs. Foreseeing a lack of arable land and worrying about food shortages, investors in the U.S., China and elsewhere are buying up turf around the globe. When
THE REAL STORY BEHIND

$10 AT THE DOOR
8h-PeaceJustice070616.indd 1
“sellers” are coerced by their own governments to play ball (as in Ethiopia and Cambodia), you can see where this might result in a little geopolitical tension. How tangled a web is this? A 2014 study found that Chinese investors had purchased land in 33 countries; Ethiopia had sold land to 21 countries. A study from 2013, meanwhile, guessed that between 0.7 percent and 1.75 of agricultural land worldwide had either already been transferred from local to foreign ownership or was then in the process of being thus grabbed. Arctic tourism. We recently discussed here a Russian nuclear icebreaker that offers two-week cruises to the North Pole. If you’re thinking about a longer and cushier vacation, the cruise ship Crystal Serenity, with a per-passenger carbon footprint three times that of a 747, will take you from Alaska via Greenland to New York; don’t miss, off the starboard deck, the poignant sight of polar bears starving to death atop dwindling ice floes.
Water. A New York hedge fund called Water Asset Management has begun buying up water rights worldwide in response to increasing drought. In a Bloomberg article on climate-change investment, one financial adviser complains of an “overemphasis on [global warming’s] negative impacts”; kudos to these guys for their glass-half-full optimism, not to mention their pioneering adoption of a new form of economic colonialism. (Yes, moviegoers, you saw this at the very end of The Big Short, where it’s revealed that the Christian Bale character, the hedge-fund wonk who foresaw the housing crash, has since gone all-in on water.) Arctic drilling. You’ll note the pleasing circularity at work here: by burning enough fossil fuels to warm the Earth sufficiently to melt the polar ice caps, we’ve now gained access to yet more fossil fuels buried under those ice caps. There remain some challenges to extracting them: logistical, because the weather up there sucks; political, because Barack Obama has placed restrictions on the practice. Still,
one Bloomberg analyst said recently he’d be “very surprised” if these hurdles put oil and gas companies off forever. They’re nothing if not plucky. Then there are cases where the ethics-payoff calculus gets more complicated. We hear lots of kvetching worldwide about the melting of Greenland’s ice sheet, but folks in Greenland are a good deal more sanguine about it — they anticipate that as ice depletion renders minerals, oil and gas more accessible and improves the local fishery, the island might finally have enough cash on hand to declare its independence from Denmark. So they benefit, albeit in a somewhat fraught manner. And I haven’t even mentioned the Israeli desalination company now selling snowmaking machines to Alpine ski resorts, the firms providing high-end private firefighting services to rich Californians or any other of the go-getters who who demonstrate again and again the irrepressible vitality of the free market. The possibilities, really, are endless. Unlike, say, the continued health of the planet.

in the San Francisco Bay area. To eat, Tap 25 offers small bites such as sausage links on pretzel rolls, flatbreads, panini and hummus plates, courtesy of Stowe native and recent NEW ENGLAND CULINARY INSTITUTE grad ZOE BIRON. Later this summer, the Bryans plan to start hosting live bands three nights a week. “Music is integral to our place in California,” Tim Bryan told Seven Days late last week, adding that, so far, locals seem to be embracing the pub. “Wednesday night was beyond expectations,” he said. “People just wandered in from the village and found it easy to hang out.” For his part, Bryan seemed excited to help grow the local beer scene, in concert with the other local pubs and breweries. “You can’t go wrong [in Vermont],” he said. “The beers here are world-class; the brain trust in the brewing community is exceptional.”

Over the weekend, the Vermont beer world was abuzz with the news that the ALCHEMIST had opened its new brewery and visitor center in Stowe (see following story). But it wasn’t the only new arrival: On Wednesday, June 29, across town, TAP 25 quietly opened at 151 Main Street. The new taproom offers 25 American craft beers on draft: The opening list included local brews from VON TRAPP BREWING,

“We’re excited to connect with the Vergennes community and interact with the people who love to drink our ciders,” Davis says. The duo signed the lease on the space on May 27 and hopes for an early 2017 opening — “if not sooner,” he adds.
TOUR
SHACKSBURY cidery in Shoreham has gleaned significant praise, both locally and nationally, since cofounders COLIN DAVIS and DAVID DOLGINOW began pressing apples in 2013. Now the cider makers are gearing up for their next venture: moving Shacksbury’s production to the Kennedy Brothers building at 11 Main Street in Vergennes, where they’ll have an in-house tasting room. “Our plan was to focus on wholesale for the first couple of years,” says Davis, “but we’re ready to have a public face.” Since opening for business, Davis and Dolginow have fermented their smallbatch ciders in the barn on Davis’ personal property, with supplementary production at VERMONT REFRIGERATED STORAGE, formerly the Shoreham Apple Co-op. The old co-op will still be used for shipping and distribution, but the new Kennedy Brothers location will be the main
showcase for Shacksbury Cider’s repertoire. A modest bar area will have draft lines available for tasting, accompanied by simple bites such as local cheeses, charcuterie and roasted nuts — “light fare that goes great with our ciders,” says Davis. On-site sips might include cool glasses of earthy, dry Classic; aromatic, refreshing Arlo; and musky, spicy Basque. Small tanks will hold special-release blends only available in-house, such as “Pèt-Nat,” an unfiltered cider naturally fermented from “lost” apple varietals and old-world English breeds. Shacksbury’s facility will occupy the white masonry section of the L-shaped Kennedy Brothers building, a former creamery built in 1909 and restored in 2012. Design plans call for glass walls with clear views of the cider cellars and manufacturing process. An event space is also in the works, where Davis hopes to feature food trucks, guest chef pop-ups and Basque-themed dinners.

AGE/SEX: 1-year-old spayed female REASON HERE: Transfer from Animal Farm Foundation SUMMARY: Easy to love, Miss Wendy Darling (as she is affectionately known) is a sweet, happy girl who enjoys all there is
to love about life: walks, chewies, learning new things, and people … especially people! An extraordinary snuggler, Wendy is ready for a new family to share her passions with. She will make a great companion for hiking and playing in all of the seasons!
DOGS/CATS/KIDS: Wendy has lived with and done well with dogs at the shelter. Wendy hasn’t been around cats. When outside she is interested in wildlife and may think creatures are fun to chase. We don’t know her history with children, but she is a friendly girl to all she meets. Wendy is still working on her manners and may jump on children/accidentally knock them over. WENDY KNOWS: "Sit" and "down," and she is great at food puzzles and clicker training! Visit Wendy at HSCC, 142 Kindness Court, South Burlington, Tuesday through Friday from 1 to 6 p.m., or Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Call 862-0135 for more info.

Before advertising in Seven Days, I was scouting and cherry picking potential employees.

She helped me design a really creative ad that not only looked great, it worked. Within two days I started getting resumes and inquiries from quality individuals.

offer no growler fills and serve no food on-site, but the brewers are happy to supply a list of local restaurants to hungry sippers. “We don’t want to take customers away from existing businesses,” says Jen. “We want to complement them.” The Alchemist duo’s proudest moment since beginning work on the Stowe brewery, continues Jen, came when they created 22 new jobs. “In addition to having fun in the brewery and making great beer, we now have an amazing staff of 46,” she says. “There’s really not one dud in the bunch. John and I sincerely look forward to coming to work and seeing everyone each day.” The Alchemist’s Stowe brewery and visitor center satisfies customers’ beer cravings Tuesday through Saturday, from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Ever heard of Heady Topper? Focal Banger? Aren’t they the coveted cans from that brewery in Waterbury? Not just Waterbury. Those who brave the hour-long beverage store queues, pining for cases and four-packs of the ALCHEMIST’s famed ales, now have another option: Last Thursday, June 30, the Alchemist cut the ribbon on a brand-new brewery and visitors’ center at 100 Cottage Club Road in Stowe. Here, beer aficionados can enjoy a tasting section, retail shop and educational area with full views of the brewing process. JEN KIMMICH, who opened the Alchemist with her husband, JOHN, in 2003, says, “John and I look forward to being open to the public again. We missed the daily interaction with our community.” In the early days, the Alchemist was a 60-seat brewpub in Waterbury specializing in “fresh,
unfiltered IPA.” Then came Heady Topper, the brewery’s first breakout beer. Crafted with six different kinds of hops, it’s one of the most highly acclaimed beers in the world, holding cult status for its flavor, complexity and virtual unavailability beyond state borders. For fans of the sought-after double IPA, the Alchemist’s nascent Stowe brewery has plenty of Heady for sale in four-packs and twoounce draft samplers. Four-packs of Focal Banger and the Crusher are also up for grabs. Inside the brewery, the Kimmiches strive for a vibe that, Jen says, is “agrarian in nature,” with hops gardens and cherry trees planned for the future. Artwork “continues to be central to the Alchemist’s experience” as well, she notes, with “supercool murals and art installations” in progress as the space continues to evolve. In addition to brewing Heady Topper and Focal Banger year-round, John will revive a bunch of “old favorites” from the brewpub days, available for sale as special-release beers. The facility will

JUL.8 | MUSIC Troy Andrews has been wailing on the brass since the age of 4. But there’s nothing juvenile about his sound. The New Orleans musician — who goes by the name Trombone Shorty — has performed with Lenny Kravitz, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, Bone Thugs-n-Harmony, Green Day, Grace Potter and many others. Echoes of that diverse range can be found in his more recent compositions, which incorporate elements of rock, improvisational jazz and hip-hop into his traditionally fabulous N’awlins funk. Check out Shorty’s infectious sound this weekend in Rutland.
TROMBONE SHORTY & ORLEANS AVENUE Friday, July 8, 8 p.m., at Paramount Theatre in Rutland. $35-55. Info, 775-0903. paramountvt.org

Sarah Ruhl was a poet before she was a playwright: She published a short chapbook at the young age of 20. But, in an interview with Poetry Foundation, she reflected, “I think playwriting was attractive [to me] because it’s multi-vocal; there are disguises, there are many characters.” Two in particular make sense in light of her days as a bard. Elizabeth Bishop and Robert Lowell, two iconic American poets, are the focus of Ruhl’s 2012 epistolary ‘DEAR ELIZABETH’ play, Dear Elizabeth.

Tom Lehrer, a satirist, songwriter and mathematician, is known for the expressive and acerbic ditties he recorded during the 1950s and ’60s. Making use of a razor-edged tongue, he covered topics ranging from the American military to the periodic table. In 1980, British director Cameron Mackintosh gathered 28 of those mordant melodies for the stage. His revue of the trenchant tunes remains popular, ‘TOMFOOLERY’ and relevant, to this day. Catch the show and some laughs in Thursday, July 7, through Saturday, July 9, 7:30 p.m., the upcoming production by Lost Nation Theater.

Last week, we dug into some of the best local albums released in the first three months of 2016. It was an impressive list running the gamut from folk to hip-hop to punk and beyond. This week, we cover April through June. And the collection of local records popping up in those three months might be even more impressive. As with Vermont itself, local music seems to bloom in the spring. In early April, CRICKET BLUE helped thaw our frozen souls with a gorgeous EP, Io. Like the Burlington folk duo’s self-titled 2015 debut, the four-song EP is short and sweet. The understated gem is as notable for LAURA HEABERLIN and TAYLOR SMITH’s dovetailing harmonies and heart-melting melodies as for its literary bent. This is indie folk with soul and intellect — and not in that insufferable DECEMBERISTS sort of way. Speaking of Cricket Blue, they’ll handle opening duties for a group celebrating the release of its own brilliant new record, the DUPONT BROTHERS, this Friday, July 8, at Main Street Landing in Burlington. With the artistic aid of estimable superstar JAMES KOCHALKA, I reviewed that album, A Riddle for You, in cartoon form on page 59. We’ll give it a more in-depth look later this month. For now, know that it’s on the short list for year-end best-of consideration. As mentioned last week, it’s been an impressive run for hip-hop in the 802 through the first six months of 2016. It’s also been a tragic time, marked by the untimely passing of beloved Burlington DJ and MC RYAN MORIN — aka BP. Released in the days following his death in April, Back in the Building by UNKOMMON, BP’s duo with local rapper KIN, bears a heavier weight. It also highlights how special a talent we lost. BP was known mainly as a DJ, but he had worked tirelessly on his rhyme game, too. And it shows on the album. Fortunately, this won’t be the last we hear from him. The AZTEXT, the group for which BP is best known, are working on a new album featuring his unreleased verses. (In addition to founding members LEARIC and PRO, the Aztext now include Kin, TRUTH, songwriter JAMIE BRIGHT and BP’s brother, drummer ROSS LINCOLN.) If the album comes out in 2016, it will put a cap on a great year in local hip-hop. To wit… MISTER BURNS, a founding member of the LYNGUISTIC CIVILIANS, followed up that group’s excellent 2016 release, Gratified Existence, with a strong solo debut, Raised Right, in June. Though they weren’t submitted to Seven Days for review, releases by rappers JARV (Jarvage Vol. 1) and BUDNICK (Dirty D) upped the quality and quantity of Vermont hip-hop. Sadly, BLAHVOCADO — aka MATT PIGNATORE — is no longer a Vermont resident. Also sad, dude still uses that goofy alias. But, as a parting gift, he left us with a stirring collection, Go Get Hurt, in April. Like his 2015 album, Suck Up All Your Guts, Hurt unabashedly reveals its classic indie-rock underpinnings. But Pignatore synthesizes the influence of BUILT TO SPILL and PAVEMENT into a personal statement that both acknowledges and transcends his formative inspirations. Former BEARQUARIUM keyboardist TYLER MAST took the keys to his own jazzed-up hot rod, PARADISE DIVIDE, and spun out highoctane “art groove” on Stereo Esteria in April. A supergroup of sorts, the genre-jumping band is composed of some of Vermont’s most respected players, including drummer CALEB BRONZ, sax man CHRISTOPHER PETERMAN, guitarist COLIN LENOX and bassist MATT DAVIDE.

hellacious scorcher from DEREK & THE 7 JAM / Napoleon DEMONS. Daily Grind ft. Mitch Wertlieb After roughly four years of teasing us with the promise of a new album — and FRI8 SAT9 pulling a bait-and-switch in 2015 with a surprise EP, No Drinks on Me — local indie rockers VILLANELLES finally delivered with Blue Heart Attack. It was worth the wait and then some. Seven Days reviewer JUSTIN BOLAND rightly called the record a career capstone, citing Villanelles’ and FRIENDS effortless range and insatiable sonic curiosity. Both were aided and likely influenced by producer and engineer RYAN POWER. Also, the album is just fun SUN SKETCH: Julia DiFerdinando — an explosion of signature jangle and 9 STANDUP: Open Mic goofy, earnest charm. It’s precisely the UPCOMING SHOWS sort of album the band has been working TODD GLASS...............................JULY 14/15/16 toward for years.

Or more of Untitled-2 1 7/5/16 10:03 AM one. Point is, Palmer’s sophomore album, Embers, is the kind of work that some artists spend entire careers trying to achieve.

Speaking of supergroups, acoustic trio DADDY LONG LEGS, featuring the holy trinity of DAVID GUSAKOV, RICK CEBALLOS and MATT WITTEN, quietly released a knockout self-titled record in May. The catch: It’s only available at their infrequent shows. Turning to twang, ANDREW STEARNS and SHAY GESTAL’s country project OLD SKY made us nostalgic on their sepia-toned EP I Miss Blue — a follow-up to their 2015 debut, Green on Fire. DAN JOHNSON, with none of his EXPERT SIDEMEN, cast a spell with his rootsy solo album Magic Guitar. Burlington may never shed its jammy stigma. And with bands such as BINGER prodding the genre’s wiggly conventions, that’s not a bad thing. Skeptics, released in May, is a lively exposition of “prog-hop” that suggests a step forward in both songwriting and technical execution. There’s enough improvisation to sate the jam crowd, but Binger clearly have artistic ambitions beyond that realm. After a bit of an ebb tide, the wave of surf music in Vermont crested again thanks to the noir-ish Droppin’ Off … With the High Breaks by the HIGH BREAKS. If you ever wondered what might happen if DICK DALE scored a DAVID LYNCH film, here’s your answer. With ’Til the Neighbors Shout, RUMBLECAT claimed a place in line for the VIP room in Burlington’s rock scene. They might not have crossed the velvet rope quite yet, but their technical prowess and grinning energy put them near the front door. Standing right beside them are REDADMIRAL, whose self-titled record revealed a refreshing lack of pretense — and loads of offbeat hooks. When those bands do cross the rope, they’ll be hobnobbing with JAKE BRENNAN. His release as VIOLET ULTRAVIOLET, Pop City, was the songwriter’s finest to date. The album is bathed in a warm haze of 1970s Laurel Canyon folk rock. Yet it retains a modern feel similar to that of artists such as KURT VILE and REAL ESTATE. Chalk up another win for local imprint Section Sign Records. Not to be outdone, Upper Valley sorta-label What Doth Life added to its impressive and voluminous catalog with Rite of Passage, the latest

Founded in 2006 by Kristy Manning, each year the Seven Below program brings six artists to the “Barn” (notable for its role as Phish’s rehearsal and recording studio) and provides them with studio space, a stipend and a scenic backdrop. This shape-shifting exhibition features works by 11 former Seven Below artists-in-residence: Haisi Hu, Meghan Gordon and Cortney Andrews, Sage Lewis, Jonathan Monaghan, Shane Morrissey, Oscar Santillan, Jessica Segall, Willy Somma, Rob Swainston, and Thu Kim Vu.

Wiener-Dog HHHHH
I
f you’re familiar with the twisted, tragic universe that writer-director Todd Solondz has created with eight features over 27 years, you may care to read on. I have good news. On the other hand, if you just asked yourself, Todd who?, you might want to skip down to Margot’s review. It’s doubtful you’ll be buying a ticket to Wiener-Dog. Solondz is a genre unto himself, and this is the auteur at his most audacious and challenging. The film is actually a series of four darkly comic vignettes, linked only by the presence of the eponymous female dachshund. Well, the dog and the ever-present specter of death. Tracy Letts and Julie Delpy anchor the first chapter as the bickering parents of a boy named Remi (Keaton Nigel Cooke), who’s survived an unnamed illness. The casting is dead-on. These folks make most dysfunctional movie families look like the Cleavers. One day, Remi’s father brings the pet home, and the child christens it Wiener-Dog (coincidentally, the nickname of Dawn Wiener in Solondz’s 1995 Welcome to the Dollhouse). Highlights of this segment include a tracking shot of doggie diarrhea choreographed by Oscar-nominated cinematographer Edward Lachman (Carol) and set to Debussy’s “Clair de lune.”
The boy has given the dog a granola bar that made him sick. Dad decides euthanasia is next on the pet’s menu, prompting a mother-son discussion of mortality that, besides being hilarious, flips a cliché on its head. “Nature doesn’t care about them,” Delpy explains. “We’re dogs’ only friend.” Who should intercept the doomed dachshund before the vet can send him to heaven but Dawn Wiener herself, now a veterinarian aide played by Greta Gerwig. Having grown up to be Greta Gerwig, the once-outcast Dawn is more popular with the neighborhood boys these days. When she bumps into former classmate Brandon (Kieran Culkin), he invites her on a ride to score drugs and visit his brother (Connor Long), who has Down syndrome. The two share a touching, gut-busting scene throughout which Brandon attempts to explain that their father has died, and his brother repeatedly asks him whether he’s stopped drinking. Next, we meet frustrated film professor Dave Schmerz (Danny DeVito). You’ll notice the central characters get older with each successive vignette. Aging — and becoming irrelevant — is what DeVito’s chapter is about. His students’ mockery drives Schmerz to the brink. And then over it. Not long after he begins making Wiener-Dog
PET PROJECT Burstyn plays the last in a series of complicated characters who take in a traveling dachshund in the latest from Todd Solondz.
wear tiny dresses, our jaws drop as we watch a bomb squad slowly approach the dog, now wrapped in a suicide vest. But the oddest and most heartrending segments are still to come. Ellen Burstyn plays a bitter invalid who hides behind huge black sunglasses and renames the canine Cancer. She’s visited by a twitchy granddaughter (Zosia Mamet), who brings along her artist boyfriend, Fantasy (Michael James Shaw). “Don’t kid yourself,” the old woman admonishes, after her spacey guest claims not to be concerned about lacking direction because she’s still young. The granddaughter then describes Fantasy’s work as a controversial fusion of taxidermy and robotics that isn’t derivative of Damien
Hirst. “Fuck Damien Hirst,” adds Fantasy. That’s incredibly funny stuff, assuming you know who Hirst is — google him if you don’t. The punch line is the film’s final image, Fantasy’s latest work and the most bizarre visual in Solondz’s oeuvre. Prepare to be freaked out. And prepare for 90 minutes of idiosyncratic and surprising cinema. The filmmaker has a reputation for a misanthropic worldview, a loathing for suburbia, and obsessions with perversion and futility. Solondz’s new work reflects those themes, but it also reveals empathy, almost warmth, and that’s a first. Don’t kid yourself: You can teach an old dog new tricks. RI C K KI S O N AK

Swiss Army Man HHHH
I
t’s a good year in American art houses for films with premises that sound like they were sourced from a Dadaist Twitter feed. First came The Lobster, depicting a scenario in which single people are condemned to be surgically transformed into animals. Now here’s Swiss Army Man, in which a flatulent corpse shows up just in time to show a depressed young man the meaning of life. Comedy-video duo Dan Kwan and Daniel Scheinert make their feature debut with this film that seems partly inspired by Adam Sandler fart-fests, partly by earnest indie flicks and partly by the fun of mocking both genres. At the Sundance Film Festival, Swiss Army Man reportedly caused a mass walkout. But viewers who aren’t intrinsically opposed to toilet humor may actually find this curiosity pretty funny — and, thanks to the conviction of its lead actors, sometimes weirdly poignant. Paul Dano plays man-child Hank, a lone castaway on a speck of a desert island. Like so many millennial protagonists, he’s defined by a free-floating sadness: When he attempts to kill himself, the only memory that flashes before his eyes is one of sitting on the bus plugged to his phone. Then the corpse washes up on shore. Played by Daniel Radcliffe (yes, the guy who made his name as Harry Potter) and christened “Manny” by Hank, the stiff has marvelous properties. So powerful is Manny’s flatulence that Hank rides him “like a Jet
IT’S A GAS Radcliffe plays a corpse with flatulence issues in this extremely offbeat indie comedy.
Ski” to the mainland; his mouth spouts freshwater, and (steel yourselves) his erections work like a compass. There’s still life left in Manny, and he wants Hank to educate him about a world he doesn’t remember. To make use of the corpse’s life-saving powers, Hank must immerse himself in memories and recreations of a life that he himself never really knew how to live. That’s where the film’s absurdity shades into something genuine, in large part be-
cause neither actor holds back or winks at the audience. In Dano’s long history of playing misfit characters, Hank is probably the least cool of them all, his emotions goofily transparent. And Radcliffe manages to make a pasty-faced corpse earnest and sympathetic. With his ungainly, half-alien body and naïve enthusiasm for everyday human rituals, he suggests a hornier version of E.T. — the best friend an overgrown kid like Hank could have.
The growing bromance of these two comes complete with twee chanting on the soundtrack and painstakingly handmade props reminiscent of Michel Gondry movies. Whenever these elements threaten to transform the movie into a life-affirming celebration of imagination and whimsy, however, Manny’s bodily antics bring it down to earth with a gassy roar. Rabelais might have approved. Swiss Army Man sags a little in the middle, but, toward the end, it takes a few neat turns that put everything in a fresh perspective. The film riffs irreverently on a subgenre of movies about people who learn how to live in modern civilization only by leaving it, from Cast Away to Where the Wild Things Are. (Even the overbearing Jurassic Park theme music gets trotted out at one point.) It’s sometimes tempting to dismiss it all as a big joke, a ready-made meme. But then comes the scene when Hank re-creates his bus-ride memory for Manny (complete with headphones crafted from vines). In the original memory, the world beyond Hank was out of focus. For the re-creation, Hank has painted the windows of his improvised “bus” with scenic vistas, which Manny stares at in Spielbergian wonder. Having ignored the world when it was really there, Hank dreams it back into existence — and, just for an instant, the viewer feels that wonder, too. MARGO T HARRI S O N

I SAW THE LIGHTH Tom Hiddleston plays country-western legend Hank Williams in this biopic. Elizabeth Olsen plays his wife, Audrey; with Bradley Whitford and Cherry Jones. (123 min, R; reviewed by R.K. 4/6)

REAL FREE WILL ASTROLOGY BY ROB BREZSNY JULY 7-13
CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22)
As I gaze into my crystal ball and invoke a vision of your near future, I find you communing with elemental energies that are almost beyond your power to control. But I’m not worried, because I also see that the spirit of fun is keeping you safe and protected. Your playful strength is fully unfurled, ensuring that love always trumps chaos. This is a dream come true: You have a joyous confidence as you explore and experiment with the Great Unknown, trusting in your fluidic intuition to guide you.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): In the book A Survival Guide to the Stress of Organizational Change, the authors tell you how to raise
GEMINI
(May 21-June 20): Normally I’m skeptical about miraculous elixirs and sudden cures and stupendous breakthroughs. I avoid fantasizing about a silver bullet that can simply and rapidly repair an entrenched problem. But I’m setting aside my caution as I evaluate your prospects for the coming months. While I don’t believe that a sweeping transformation is guaranteed, I suspect it’s far more likely than usual. I suggest you open your mind to it.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “You can only go halfway into the darkest forest,” says a Chinese proverb. “Then you are coming out the other side.” You will soon reach that midpoint, Leo. You may not recognize how far you have already come, so it’s a good thing I’m here to give you a heads-up. Keep the faith! Now here’s another clue: As you have wandered through the dark forest, you’ve been learning practical lessons that will come in handy during the phase of your journey that will begin after your birthday. VIRGO
(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): My devoted contingent of private detectives, intelligence agents and psychic sleuths is constantly wandering the globe gathering data for me to use in creating your horoscopes. In recent days, they have reported that many of you Virgos are seeking expansive visions and mulling long-term decisions. Your tribe seems unusually relaxed about the future and is eager to be emancipated from shrunken possibilities. Crucial in
this wonderful development has been an inclination to stop obsessing on small details and avoid being distracted by transitory concerns. Hallelujah! Keep up the good work. Think big! Bigger! Biggest!
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): After years of painstaking research, the psychic surgeons at the Beauty and Truth Lab have finally perfected the art and science of Zodiac Makeovers. Using a patented technique known as Mythic Gene Engineering, they are able to transplant the planets of your horoscope into different signs and astrological houses from the ones you were born with. Let’s say your natal Jupiter suffers from an uncongenial aspect with your Moon. The psychic surgeons cut and splice according to your specifications, enabling you to be re-coded with the destiny you desire. Unfortunately, the cost of this pioneering technology is still prohibitive for most people. But here’s the good news, Libra: In the coming months, you will have an unprecedented power to reconfigure your life’s path using other, less expensive, purely natural means. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): In high school I was a good athlete with a promising future as a baseball player. But my aspirations were aborted in sophomore year when the coach banished me from the team. My haircut and wardrobe were too weird, he said. I may have been a skillful shortstop, but my edgy politics made him nervous and mad. At the time I was devastated by his expulsion. Playing baseball was my passion. But in retrospect I was grateful. The coach effectively ended my career as a jock, steering me toward my true callings: poetry and music and astrology. I invite you to identify a comparable twist in your own destiny, Scorpio. What unexpected blessings came your way through a seeming adversary? The time is ripe to lift those blessings to the next level. SAGITTARIUS
(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Do you remember that turning point when you came to a fork in the road of your destiny at a moment when your personal power wasn’t strong? And do you recall how you couldn’t muster the potency to make the most courageous choice but instead headed in the direction that seemed easier? Well,
here’s some intriguing news: Your journey has delivered you, via a convoluted route, to a place not too far from that original fork in the road. It’s possible you could return there and revisit the options — which are now more mature and meaningful — with greater authority. Trust your exuberance.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): I love writing horoscopes for you. Your interest in my insights spurs my creativity and makes me smarter. As I search for the inspiration you need next, I have to continually reinvent my approach to finding the truth. The theories I had about your destiny last month may not be applicable this month. My devotion to following your ever-shifting story keeps me enjoyably off-balance, propelling me free of habit and predictability. I’m grateful for your influence on me! Now I suggest that you compose a few thank-you notes similar to the one I’ve written here. Address them to the people in your life who move you and feed you and transform you the best. AQUARIUS
(Jan. 20-Feb. 18): After an Illinois man’s wife whacked him in the neck with a hatchet, he didn’t hold a grudge. Just the opposite. Speaking from a hospital room while recovering from his life-threatening wound, Thomas Deas testified that he still loved his attacker and hoped they could reconcile. Is this admirable or pathetic? I’ll go with pathetic. Forgiving one’s allies and loved ones for their mistakes is wise, but allowing and enabling their maliciousness and abuse should be taboo. Keep that standard in mind during the coming weeks, Aquarius. People close to you may engage in behavior that lacks full integrity. Be compassionate but tough-minded in your response.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Can water run uphill? Not usually. But there’s an eccentric magic circulating in your vicinity, and it could generate phenomena that are comparable to water running uphill. I wouldn’t be surprised, either, to see the equivalent of stars coming out in the daytime. Or a mountain moving out of your way. Or the trees whispering an oracle exactly when you need it. Be alert for anomalous blessings, Pisces. They may be so different from what you think is possible that they could be hard to recognize.
SEVENDAYSVT.COM
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Events in the coming week may trick your mind and tweak your heart. They might mess with your messiah complex and wreak havoc on your habits. But I bet they will also energize your muses and add melodic magic to your mysteries. They will slow you down in such a way as to speed up your evolution and spin you in circles with such lyrical grace that you may become delightfully clear-headed. Will you howl and moan? Probably, but more likely out of poignant joy, not from angst and anguish. Might you be knocked off course? Perhaps, but by a good influence, not a bad one.
your stress levels. Assume that others are responsible for lowering your stress levels, they say. Resolve not to change anything about yourself. Hold on to everything in your life that’s expendable. Fear the future. Get embroiled in trivial battles. Try to win new games as you play by old rules. Luckily, the authors also offer suggestions on how to reduce your stress. Get good sleep, they advise. Exercise regularly. Don’t drink too much caffeine. Feel lots of gratitude. Clearly define a few strong personal goals and let go of lesser wishes. Practice forgiveness and optimism. Talk to yourself with kindness. Got all that, Taurus? It’s an excellent place to start as you formulate your strategy for the second half of 2016.

WOMEN Seeking MEN LET’S WRESTLE “I love your feet for how they found me.” —Nahko Bear. dancingbees, 35
THRIVER SEEKING SAME It is my time now. Having launched two daughters, I am ready to focus on fun and companionship. Chemistry should take care of the rest. This summer would be a perfect time to meet. Picnic, concert, hike, hit the lake, dinner? Down-to-earth, happy in my own skin and expect the same. No baggage, please! ihappy, 62, l PART TWO New in town. New adventures. Nicpar, 43, l BOHEMIAN ADVENTURER LOOKING FOR SAME I’m a recent transplant to Burlington from the Washington, D.C., area. I’m originally from Long Island, N.Y., but have lived in Pennsylvania, California, Massachusetts and Virginia as well as Prague and an all-too-brief time in Ireland. I’m looking for friends and perhaps a special companion who is interesting, well traveled and possesses a great sense of humor. TravelAce, 58, l

07.06.16-07.13.16
REFRESHING, FUNNY, IRREVERENT I’ve been single for a few years and feel ready and excited to find my next partner. I love hiking, walking, canoeing, kayaking, snowshoeing, snorkeling, diving. Have recently found that my calling is working with young children. I’m looking for someone who is funny, secure within himself, financially stable and willing to be honest, no matter what. Lucy, 56, l
HAPPY, CONFIDENT AND CURIOUS I’ve been happily single for a long time now but am looking forward to perhaps being happier knowing the right man, who can appreciate my opinions (strong), interests (broad but perhaps quirky) and guilty pleasures. I am easygoing but am not shy about expressing myself. I am curious about many things, except motor sports, superheroes and seafood. Clippie, 56, l
LOVE TO LAUGH Looking for my last date. I’ve been widowed many years. No kids, no drama. A country girl at heart, I love all animals (except snakes), love the peace and serenity of living here, try most things once. Passionate, sensual, attractive blonde. Age unimportant; it’s the person who matters. Intelligence and spirituality are big turn-ons. Sound like anyone here? newtosite, 56 INTERESTING, LAZY, LOUD, OUTGOING Whenever I’ve tried to participate in a dating website, or anything of the sort before, I jazz myself up, and it leads to unrealistic expectations. So here’s the scoop: I like Netflix, beer, my cat, snuggling, baking, being a mom, sleeping, being lazy, swimming in pools, eating, laying on my couch, music. I’m funny and pretty cute. Super sarcastic. mycatscoolerthanme, 24 COUNTRY I have raised three children. Love the outdoors, the beach, enjoying a night with a good book — but prefer to spend it with a nice gentleman. I’ve come to the realization that there is more sand in the bottom of an hourglass than at the top. I want to make new memories with a special friend or a long-term relationship. Would like to share more. Beachwalker, 67, l SECURE, ADVENTURE-SEEKING REALIST I am extremely kind and generous and expect the same from you. If you don’t have good manners, then don’t contact me. I like to have fun, explore and go on adventures. If you are curious, kind, well-mannered, single and want a relationship, contact me. Acquiah, 54, l

LOST No agenda. Just want friends. Single mom, not attractive, a little crazy, sad a lot, passionate and loving. Lonely — LOL, obviously. Boys are my life, but I’m needing adult friends, too. Sunshinedancer, 44 LOOKING FOR HAPPINESS I have a huge heart, and I am looking to share it with someone. I would love to find someone honest and loyal. Hoping to eventually find someone to complete me. I am educated and have a great job. I do not need a man in my life. I want a man in my life. Huge difference. Happiness2016, 52, l FUN TIMES REQUIRE GOOD COMPANY Hoping to meet a like-minded, goofy, adventurous, intelligent man to enjoy good times with. Are you someone in the area who enjoys spending free time outdoors recreating? I have a deep appreciation for the natural world and enjoy being in the woods, by the water. I also enjoy going out to listen to live music and experience art and culture. Magnolia77, 39, l YOUR EXTRA TIME AND YOUR KISS I’m a study in contradictions, but that’s just because I recognize that the world is complicated. I am fun-loving, ever-observing, empathetic, exuberant, opinionated, willful, giving, and equal parts analytical and spontaneous. It would all taste better shared, we both know it’s true. Trade-offs and all! We’re all package deals, right? A good fit would result in us laughing through any weather. Kindred, 49, l
MEN Seeking WOMEN
MUSICAL ENVIRONMENTALIST SEEKS GREEN MUSE Passionate about living close to and with deep regard for nature, I’m looking for a politically aware and active outdoors woman to share beauty with. That beauty can come from a film, a museum, a piece of music, a bike ride, a book, a view from mountaintop, or a sweet shoulder rub while watching the ocean or the northern lights. Jazzbiker, 58, l NERDY HSV2+ GUY SEEKING COMPANION I’m HSV2+ and am sick of the undeserved stigma. I’m a nerdy, intelligent and passionate human being. Sex is an adventure, life is a journey and the mind is a muscle for which fantasy is the exercise. I’m down for a roll in the hay or to roll some dice. Let’s go on an adventure. vthsvnerd, 28, l AWKWARD BUT CARING NERD I try to be as authentic as I can be. Introverted, socially awkward but pining for the chance to be with good friends whenever possible. Video games and other nerdy things will win me over very quick, and I always love a nice, long, sometimes intellectual conversation. If I catch your eye, don’t hesitate to say hello! Locust21, 24, l
HONEST, ENERGETIC SAILOR Wonderful, widowed, caring, passionate, energetic sailor looking for an active, funny, honest, touching woman who appreciates fine food, music and travel. A love of sailing and Lake Champlain are musts! Looking for romantic dinners, intellectual conversation and sailing into the sunset? Join me! My doctor says I will live another 20 years! Now I need someone to share it with. damuschi, 78, l EXPERIMENTAL EXPLORER When no one is around, I’m playing games or watching movies. When people come around, I feel the need to entertain. When I’m out and about, everyone is looking for me. I’m outgoing and an introvert. It’s hard to understand who I am until you meet me. Gralmak, 36, l FUN-LOVING, ADVENTURING NATURE FREAK I love to love. I love to cook ‘til the kitchen falls apart and read ‘til my eyes are blurry. New to the area and will only be here ‘til December. Looking for someone who isn’t afraid to get a little dirty and isn’t afraid to talk about real issues. I want to debate ideas and learn from each other. Lyonhearted, 24, l SPIRITUALLY INCLINED ADVENTURER AND READER Young at mind, body and heart. Wellseasoned, well-traveled gentleman seeks lady for walks, talks and more. Connection is the key word. I am a great listener. Nature lover with a clothingoptional pond and house in the country. I love to canoe, too. tommy2ravens, 64, l LIFE IS GRAND No games. Honesty, intimacy. There are lots of adventures in life; let’s try exploring! Enjoy cycling, kayaking, skiing, hiking and anything outdoors but still love to spend time in front of the woodstove in the winter. Let’s try something new! Quiet in nature but like to go out for venues. Not a barfly. geoergo, 62, l RADICAL, VIVACIOUS, SOMEWHAT INTUITIVE GENT Artistic, Carhartt-wearing, handsin-the-dirt, butt-in-the-tractor-seat, joke-cracking, brain-in-deep-thought, poetry-writing, hot-rod and mud-truckwrenching environmentalist with a big heart and soft eyes seeks earthy farm mama. AspiringFarmerPlus, 51, l INNOVATIVE HOME COOK SEEKING CONNECTION I enjoy cooking, creating new spicy and flavorful foods. I’m into yoga and CrossFit and enjoy trekking and admiring Vermont’s nature. I love most animals, including reptiles, dogs and especially cats. TheGeminiCook, 26, l LONG, LANKY AND UPRIGHT PARADOX Water person looking to wade into a new friendship. Looking for someone to copilot my BMW moto to new swim holes, picnics and hikes. Yoga, swimming, keeping fit are important to me as are sociopolitical/philosophical/ spiritual conversations. I’m open, honest, easy to be with and a great friend. And to boot, I cook well and clean up after myself. Magpieinthesky, 63, l
FUN-LOVING FUNNY Love spending time with that special person. Enjoy walking, looking at the stars. Like taking in lawn sales, going out to dinner and enjoying those special evenings together. coltey, 52 OPEN FIELDS Husband Earth’s creatures. I pasture out Angus beefs winter/summer in NEK. Come share a garden. My career in education morphed into stainedglass restoration. Volunteer efforts fill minutes left. A thoughtful, creative woman would complement me. Be liberal, considerate, active, green. Not a despoiler or consumer. I bike, skate, read, weld some, take in a movie or two, and harvest my own firewood, apples, blueberries. Play with words. Not a cook, but brewed beer. Enjoy its virtues. nekfarmer42, 73, l LET’S ENJOY THE TIME I do not like baggage. The quicker you move on, the better. Like to do what comes naturally. Being retired and healthy means there is a long road ahead for much fun. I do not look my age, so it all works out just fine. My days are spent exercising, meditating, playing saxophone and waiting for you to show up to complete the mission. Wonder12612, 65 LAKE LOVER I have two lovely children who check in on me all the time — one in Vermont, one in Nebraska. Am retired in law enforcement and public safety in a local college. I enjoy hiking, kayaking on the big lake, evenings spent by the fire pit watching the sun set. I am content but long for connection. Septembersong, 72 SIMPLE MAN I would rather browse and reply to ads than create my own, but I am just glad to be out of my last relationship/marriage and want to start over. Bantam118, 59, l

My husband and I have been married for almost three years, and we have a very solid relationship. However, even though we hold hands, cuddle, kiss and say “I love you,” we’ve had issues with intimacy and sex. I want more from him. I know I have a higher sex drive in this relationship. I always want him, and although I try not to push it, he realizes it, and it makes him feel pressured. He says he always feels like he’s disappointing me. So, as a result, he does not initiate or show any sign that he desires me. We finally had a huge conversation about it, and I agreed to be “less available” and let him take charge. But first I told him what my ideal situation would be: sex at least three times a week — but, more importantly, any sign that he’s making an effort. He said he needs space to desire me, which was like taking a bullet for some reason. I’ve tried to give him space, but it’s been 20 days since we talked and nothing has changed. I feel I have no other option but to bring it up again. The painful part is, I’m head over heels in love with him, and I know he loves me. I know he wouldn’t do anything to hurt me on purpose. What do I do?
Signed,
Dear Too Much,
Too Much Space
I’ll tell you why it felt like taking a bullet: Because you believe the only way you two can be more intimate is to be closer physically and emotionally. He apparently wants the opposite of that. I imagine it feels a lot like rejection. The problem here is that you agreed to something you don’t feel good about. What does “space” mean, exactly? I find the rule about not talking about it or asking for it strange and unsettling. What else aren’t you “allowed” to do? You want to have more sex, more intimacy, so you agreed to pretend you don’t want those things? Girl. That is not going to get you what you want. There is no magic number of times a week or month a couple should have sex. Some couples do it every other day; others are content with far less. And even couples who have sex a lot can have their troubles. What matters is balance: of fun, intimacy, sex, communication and honoring your personal interests separate from those of your partner. Maybe the issue here is low sex drive, or maybe it’s something deeper. Maybe he’s experiencing some stress that he hasn’t revealed. Has he always been disinterested in sex, or is this a new thing? Did you get married thinking your sex life would improve somehow? Because marriage isn’t a fix for anything — it’s a contract. It is time to talk again. I suggest a visit with a couples counselor to look more deeply into what will satisfy you both and to bridge your communication gap. All of us make sacrifices and compromises in relationships. But your sexual relationship with your husband is important. Seek some professional help and try to uncover what’s really going on. I hope you get to the bottom of this and achieve your happily ever after.
Yours,

PUTNEY BREAD AND PUPPET BUS Across the street, standing beside the church, I asked about the start of the season. You crossed for a moment to answer. A beautiful, tired smile.
