While Vermont may be the most liberal state in the country, its gun politics remain those of a rural enclave ruled by sportsmen. “Hunting is an integral part of who Vermonters are, so that’s why I think you see a lot of Vermont politicians seeking not to offend on this issue,” former Associated Press Vermont bureau chief Chris Graff says. That may explain why, in the wake of last week’s horrific school shooting in Newtown, Conn., many of the state’s most prominent

politicians have been loathe to answer questions about whether new gun laws are necessary. Spokesmen for Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.), Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), Congressman Peter Welch (D-Vt.) and Gov. Peter Shumlin, who is out of the country, turned down repeated requests for interviews Monday and Tuesday. They each declined to answer specific written questions from Seven Days — and from the Burlington Free Press — about their positions on gun laws and about potential legislative responses to the Sandy Hook tragedy. Instead, they offered up only opaque statements that fail to say, well, anything.

A DAD

stranger handed me an AR-15 semiautomatic rifle Monday afternoon in a South Burlington parking lot. I handed him an envelope stuffed with $500 cash. We filled out no paperwork and completed no background check. He had no idea th who I was nor what my intentions were, and he did not ask. Nine minutes after I met the man, I drove away with the sort of weapon used 39 hours earlier to slaughter 49 people in an Orlando, Fla., nightclub. In Vermont, home to the nation’s most permissive gun laws, everything I did was Join us in the Pub perfectly legal. 2:30pm – 10:00pm My unexpected gun purchase began with a simple Google search for “AR-15 lo c a l, fre sh, or i gina l Vermont.” The top result, armslist.com, provided plenty of local options. I emailed one seller at 7:33 a.m. Monday and asked whether I could buy his weapon that day. Over the next several hours, we exchanged 18 emails. 1076 Williston Road, S. Burlington The gun, he wrote, was in “fair condi862.6585 tion” and needed only a $30 extractor www.windjammerrestaurant.com arm. He said he’d cut the listed price by $50 and show me how to install the part. “Does it shoot as-is?” I asked. “Hoping 1 4/1/16 10:18 AMto buy ASAP. You’re in Burlington, right?” By 10:11 a.m. we had settled on a plan. “I would probably have to meet around

5ish, if that is alright. And how about the parking lot by Five Guys right off of Route 7?” the seller wrote, adding a few minutes later, “Also, I’m going to need you to bring photo ID.” “Would it be OK if we skipped that step?” I replied. “If you are visibly of-age then yes,” he wrote. A little after 5 p.m., a young man wearing a blue flannel shirt, Carhartts and Timberlands approached me outside the Five Guys, which is sandwiched between a Chipotle and a GNC in a busy shopping center next to Interstate 189. The seller was tall and rail-thin, with short blond hair and stubbly facial hair. “Hey, how are you?” he asked. “Good. How are you?” I said as I shook his hand. “Nice to meet you.” The man pointed to his car across the parking lot and suggested I move mine to the space next to it. He opened his rear passenger-side door, apologized for the car’s messy state and unzipped an olive green carrying case. The weapon was a generic AR-15, with a Radical Firearms mid-length barrel, an Aero Precision lower receiver and a Walther PS 22 reddot sight. It came with three empty 30round magazines.

The gun was no different than those used to kill 26 people in Newtown, Conn., 12 in Aurora, Colo., and 14 in San Bernardino, Calif. Police initially said the Orlando gunman used an AR-15 but later clarified that it had been a similar weapon: a Sig Sauer MCX. “Really fun. Really easy to shoot,” the seller said as he showed me how to use it. A young woman with blond hair and glasses sat in the front passenger seat. She remained silent and only once looked back at me and the seller, flashing a friendly smile. “It’s so popular and easy and fun to shoot [because] it’s just about the most straightforward thing you could ask for,” the man said. “You know?” “Well, that’s what I’ll need,” I said. He handed me the weapon, the barrel of which protruded from the carrying case. I placed it in the backseat of my car and covered it with a jacket. “Very good,” I said, handing him the envelope of cash. “Smaller bills. So, I hope that’s OK. Give it a look.” “No worries, dude,” he told me. “I trust it’s all there.” We shook hands. I got in my car and drove away.

tragedies we have seen,” he told me in a March 2013 interview. Following a shooting last December at a Colorado Planned Parenthood clinic, former transportation secretary SUE MINTER became the first gubernatorial candidate in recent memory to call for universal background checks in Vermont. Fellow Democratic candidate MATT DUNNE declined to follow suit. Days later, after the San Bernardino shooting, he said he’d consider all options. In April, he endorsed universal background checks. Former state senator PETER GALBRAITH, who entered the race in March, also supported them. On Monday, he upped the ante, calling for a ban on “weapons of war,” such as the AR-15. Minter, who had previously dodged questions about an assault-weapons ban, quickly followed Galbraith’s lead. Dunne’s campaign repeatedly refused to disclose his current position on such a ban. Both Republican gubernatorial candidates, Lt. Gov. PHIL SCOTT and retired Wall Street banker BRUCE LISMAN, said Monday that they continued to believe Vermont should enact no new gun laws. At the King Street Center, some politicians were still finding their footing. Asked whether he supported universal background checks or an assault-weapons ban, Chittenden County State’s Attorney T.J. DONOVAN said, elliptically, “I support responsible gun ownership.” Asked again, he said, “I’m open to the discussion,” adding that enforcement of existing laws should come first. Donovan, a Democratic candidate for attorney general, approached me after the press conference to amend his answer. All those buying firearms in Vermont should be subject to a background check, he said, “with the caveat of the efficacy of it.” Asked what on Earth that meant, Donovan dropped the caveat.

orty minutes after I bought the AR-15, I parked at the Burlington Police Department’s North Avenue headquarters and walked five blocks to Church Street. I left the gun in my locked car. More than 1,500 people had flooded the downtown pedestrian walkway to mourn those killed and wounded Sunday at Pulse, a gay nightclub in Orlando. They marched from the First Unitarian Universality Society church to Burlington City Hall, some in silence and some singing. Family members, friends and strangers locked arms and carried rainbow flags and handmade signs.

THE GUN

SEVEN DAYS

ive hours before I bought the AR-15, I dropped by Burlington’s King Street Center, where several of the state’s top politicians and law enforcement officials were holding a press conference. Twenty minutes into the event, I asked Gov. PETER SHUMLIN — Vermont’s most powerful and uncompromising gun rights supporter — whether the previous day’s massacre had changed his views. “No, because I believe you need a 50state solution,” the third-term Democrat responded. “If you’re going to commit some heinous act, and you can buy the gun in New Hampshire, you’re gonna go get it in New Hampshire.” I continued: “But right now in Vermont, any one of us here could walk down the street and get the same gun that was used in this attack, without any kind of background check at all. The person could do that if they have a criminal record, if they have a history of mental illness, or they could be on a terrorist watch list. If someone did that in Vermont, would that—” The governor interjected. “Paul, you’re as aware of the current law as I am, and it’s not quite as simple as you suggested,” he said. “But all I can say is: You know where I stand.” Indeed, Shumlin’s position has barely budged since the start of the mass-shooting era. Even as he’s argued that Vermont should lead the way on labeling genetically modified organisms and limiting carbon emissions, he has cautioned against joining the 18 states that require federal background checks before some or all private gun sales. Last year, he threatened to veto a modest gun-control bill until it was diminished to what he called a “shadow” of its former self. In that same period, other Vermont pols have evolved. After the July 2012 shooting at an Aurora movie theater, Sen. PATRICK LEAHY (D-Vt.), Sen. BERNIE SANDERS (I-Vt.) and Congressman PETER WELCH (D-Vt.) told the Addison County Independent that gun laws should be left to the states. Five months later, following the massacre at Newtown’s Sandy Hook Elementary School, all three began to reverse course — eventually embracing federal legislation that would ban assault weapons and mandate universal background checks. Sanders, who was elected to Congress in 1990 after the National Rifle Association turned on his opponent, seemed to support the bill with some reluctance. “If you passed the strongest gun control legislation tomorrow, I don’t think it will have a profound effect on the

‘Tough Enough’: Former Vermonter Teachout Seeks Congressional Seat B Y KEV I N J. K ELLE Y

RICHARD BEAVEN

ephyr Teachout was using “Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee” as her personal mantra decades before Muhammad Ali’s death revived the saying. The Vermont native, endorsed by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) for a U.S. House seat in New York’s Hudson Valley, quoted the champ’s trope alongside her senior photo in Hanover High School’s 1989 yearbook. “A lot of students went with pop song lyrics,” recalled Kendra Nordin, Teachout’s track team cocaptain at the Upper Valley school. “Zephyr was different. Ali expressed how she saw herself — as a competitor in races.” Slender, stylish and charismatic, Teachout floated like a butterfly in her debut race for elected office. A political unknown, she attracted national notice for her chutzpah in challenging incumbent Andrew Cuomo in New York’s 2014 Democratic gubernatorial primary. She stung her heavily favored foe as “selfserving” and “corrupt” for having shut down a commission investigating highlevel graft in Albany. Crusading against political corruption and corporate influence peddling via campaign contributions has emerged as Teachout’s defining issue. She wrote a book on the subject in 2014: Corruption in America — From Benjamin Franklin’s Snuff Box to Citizens United. “You have probably heard pundits say we are living in an age of ‘legalized bribery’; Corruption in America is the book that makes their case in careful detail,” said a review in the New York Times. Cuomo smacked down the upstart in the primary election. But Teachout’s 34 percent share of the vote exceeded analysts’ expectations and hinted that the Fordham University School of Law associate professor might enjoy a successful future in politics. Polling for the June 28 primary in New York’s 19th congressional district suggests that future may arrive soon. Teachout led her Democratic rival, Livingston, N.Y., Town Councilor Will Yandik, by a 53-23 percent margin in a recent survey conducted by Time Warner Cable News and Siena College. She’s also far ahead of Yandik in raising funds for a race that the national Democratic Party is eyeing as an optimal opportunity for picking up a Republicanheld seat. Teachout reported $530,732

Zephyr Teachout

in contributions in a federal filing in April, compared to $256,670 for Yandik. Her haul included donations from Ben Cohen, Vermont’s emperor of ice cream; Shelburne philanthropist Crea Lintilhac; and South Burlington photographer Todd Lockwood. That tally didn’t include the tens of thousands of dollars that likely fattened Teachout’s coffers when Sanders sent out an email blast on April 13 urging his donors to shell out for her. “She understands better than anybody how special interests try to buy off politicians, and she’s dedicated her life to fixing our broken political system,” the presidential candidate wrote. Teachout declined to divulge how much money she raked in as a result of Sanders’ anointment, even though it will be possible to calculate some of that sum in the next scheduled financial filing on June 16. The 44-year-old former Norwich resident also spurned several requests by Seven Days for either an in-person or telephone interview. She did agree to answer via email a question about how her Vermont upbringing influenced her political outlook. Teachout’s response

was anodyne, however, and avoided any mention of Vermont. “I believe that democracy is founded on respect, and we should always be bringing more people into the political process,” she wrote. “I grew up with town board meetings, watching people disagree, agree, and spend hours on whether or not to hire a new police officer, whether the budget needed changing. And no one got more time at the town meeting just because they had more money. Our community was made up of very independent-minded people: Party labels mattered less than independent thinking.” In her campaign literature, Teachout similarly avoids associating herself with the state where both her parents live, along with three of her four siblings. A glossy handout says she “grew up in a rural county a few hours north of her current home in Dutchess County.” The Cuomo campaign had attacked Teachout as a carpetbagger who failed to meet a New York constitutional requirement that a person must have lived in the state for five years prior to running for office. Teachout had

moved to New York City in 2009 — five years before the gubernatorial primary — but she acknowledged in a court case initiated by Cuomo that she had spent parts of summers at her parents’ home in Vermont. The trial judge ruled in her favor. Teachout is clearly worried that the carpetbagger charge will be leveled against her again. She moved from Brooklyn to a town in New York’s 19th congressional district in March 2015 — two months after incumbent Republican Chris Gibson announced that he would not seek reelection. Yandik has so far not called attention to his opponent’s status as a Zephyrcome-lately. The closest he got in a June 7 debate in Woodstock, N.Y., was to state — twice — that “local roots matter.” Yandik, who manages a farm that his family has owned for 100 years, stakes out progressive positions identical to Teachout’s on issue after issue. Both oppose fracking, support a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants, pledge to address climate change and favor a steep increase in the federal minimum wage.

all refused to watch the family’s newly acquired color television because they were so fond of the old black-and-white set. And although she’s characterized as a Sanders-style progressive, Zephyr espouses conservative Vermont Yankee values, such as “making democracy work as envisioned by the framers of the constitution — a democracy in which we can all participate meaningfully,” Peter Teachout said.

Despite his homeboy cred, Yandik lacks Teachout’s name recognition. But he may not prove a pushover in the primary. The boyish-looking 38-yearold holds degrees from Princeton and Brown and comes across as an articulate advocate for the needs of a district that’s losing its young people because of a lack of economic opportunities. Yandik is also a schmoozer. He lingered after the Woodstock debate to chat with a few of the 200 or so locals who had packed a community center in a town that retains a ’60s vibe. Teachout hurried out of the hall, pausing only to shake hands with a couple of grayhaired hippies while ignoring a reporter’s attempts to ask her questions. If she does prevail in the primary, Teachout can expect her likely Republican opponent — former New York State Assembly minority leader John Faso — to hammer her as a hyper-ambitious interloper. And she may choose to mount a defense offered by her father, Vermont Law School professor Peter Teachout, in an interview last week. In explaining the Dutch origins of the family name — an anglicization of Tietsoort — the sixthgeneration Vermonter pointed out that some of Zephyr’s ancestors settled centuries ago on lands now included in New York’s 19th congressional district. The Vermont Teachouts all have distinguished careers and most hold degrees from Ivy League colleges. As an undergraduate, Zephyr was editor in chief of the Yale Daily News magazine. She later earned graduate degrees from Duke University in both law and political science. Her mother, Mary Miles Teachout, serves as the presiding judge on Washington County Superior Court. Zephyr’s older sister, Woden, who lives in Middlesex, earned a PhD in American history at Harvard and has taught at Middlebury College. Her younger sister Chelsea works in Boston as a trial attorney. Dillon Teachout, the fourth-born daughter, is a social worker living in Maple Corner. And Cabot, the youngest child and only son of Peter and Mary, is a criminal defense lawyer in Norwich. The Teachout siblings are staunch traditionalists in some ways, their father said. He recalled that, as children, they

Farmers Riled Over Decision to Charge Bull’s Owner in Fatal Crash

onnecticut therapist Jon Bellis steered his car east on Route 4 in Killington around 10 p.m. on July 31, 2015, with his wife of 37 years, Kathryn, in the passenger seat. The couple, who owned a condo in the area, passed a Killington Resort gondola and were approaching the Val Roc Motel. Ten minutes earlier, a guest there had called authorities to report that a massive bull was wandering the highway and had almost been hit by a passing truck; police were on the way. Bellis got there first. Doing about 40 mph, Bellis plowed into the 1,800-pound Scottish Highland bull. His car careened down a grassy embankment and slammed into a tree. Kathryn Bellis was injured, but she was able to get out of the vehicle. But Jon Bellis, a 62-year-old grandfather, died at the scene. So did Rob, the 8-year-old bull. Rutland County State’s Attorney Rose Kennedy is responding to the accident with a charge of involuntary manslaughter against the owner of the bovine. Craig Mosher faces up to 15 years in prison in what is believed to be the first criminal case against a Vermont animal owner for harm caused by a creature that wandered off. Kennedy’s decision has enraged Vermont farmers, who worry they could be held criminally liable when their cows, pigs and sheep break free of their fences. Farmers say that collisions involving animals should be handled in civil courts, and they should not be at risk of going to prison for it. The Vermont Farm Bureau is rallying against the charge. Around 50 farmers packed Rutland Superior Court for Mosher’s arraignment on June 6 and clapped in support of Mosher as he left the courtroom. The farm bureau reports that it is getting calls from farmers across the country concerned about the case, and it is already reaching out to state legislators in hopes of short-circuiting similar prosecutions. Farmers’ fences are often knocked down by moose and other wildlife, or by bad storms and fallen tree limbs. Most farmers have to deal with escaped animals from time to time. “This is an awful precedent, not only in Vermont, but nationally,” said Joe Tisbert, a Cambridge farmer and president of the Vermont Farm Bureau.

LAW ENFORCEMENT

The surviving bull, Big, behind a fence last week

“There are so many ways an animal can get out of a pen; there are so many things that can happen. And if it’s criminally prosecuted, people are really afraid of what will happen to them.” Kennedy, elected in 2015, said she is not trying to break legal ground but is motivated by the facts of the case. Mosher’s two bulls had repeatedly left his property to roam along Route 4 in the weeks before the collision, according to police affidavits, and he had been warned the night of the crash that one of them was on the loose. After looking for the animal unsuccessfully, Mosher decided to go back to bed, according to a police affidavit. “The indictment is supported by probable cause, and the facts of this case are unique to this case,” Kennedy said in an interview, declining to discuss those facts in detail. “I will be trying this case in court. That’s where I think this needs to be determined.” After pleading not guilty, Mosher was released without having to post bail. A trial date has not been scheduled. Mosher did not respond to requests for comment.

“Mr. Mosher is a good soul and we are going to vigorously defend him,” his attorney, Paul Volk of Burlington, said in an interview. “In my 30 years of practicing criminal law, I’ve never seen a case like this. It very much surprises me that this is in the criminal court system. It certainly is not a novel fact pattern. We have an agrarian background. Farming has been the backbone of the state, and there are large animals that sometimes get out. Unfortunately, sometimes really sad things happen, but to have that turned into a criminal offense is pretty unusual.” According to court documents, Vermont State Police made five trips to the area of the crash in the two months before the collision because Mosher’s animals had broken free of the fence along his property. Truck driver Jeff Herrick almost hit the bull the same night Bellis did. After his near miss, just before 10 p.m., he drove to Mosher’s home and told him that he had spotted the animal by the Val Roc, according to a police affidavit. Mosher told police that he searched

his property where the bulls usually wandered. Why didn’t he check near the motel, which is across Route 4, about 50 yards from his property? Mosher told police that bull-spotting callers often mentioned the Val Roc as a reference point, but he always found the animals near his home. After the collision, Mosher and Vermont State Police Trooper Rob Rider found that a downed tree limb had opened a large gap in the electric fence around the perimeter of his land. Though the agricultural community has taken a keen interest in his case, Mosher isn’t a farmer. He owns a business, Mosher Excavating, next to his home on a 20-acre spread tucked between Route 4 and the Ottauquechee River in Killington. He kept two bulls, Rob and Big, as pets. Mosher became something of a local hero in 2011, when flooding from Tropical Storm Irene devastated the area. The Ottauquechee River washed out Route 4, leaving thousands of locals and visitors in Killington effectively cut off from the outside world.

Low-Income Advocate Chris Curtis Follows in His Adoptive Father’s Footsteps B Y T ER R I HA LLEN BEC K

week ago Sunday, Chris Curtis climbed aboard his mountain bike — an aging “Al Gore for president” sticker affixed to the crossbar — and headed out on the Lund Ride and Walk for Children with his 8-year-old son, Will, following on his own bike. Even in a steady rain, Curtis was not going to miss this event. A member of Lund’s board of trustees, he had met his $2,000 fundraising goal the night before. But there was another, more personal, reason motivating him. Forty-six years ago, he was Baby Boy No. 4656 adopted from Lund. He keeps the $600 receipt in a box at home. His parents got a pretty good deal, he said jokingly. Curtis did, too. “I feel like I won the lottery,” he said of the unusual family that adopted him in 1970. “I figure I got my first second chance very early in life.” On the wall of his Vermont Legal Aid office in Montpelier are two photos of his adoptive father. The late David W. Curtis — lawyer, one-term state legislator, defender general and Vermont Democratic Party chair — was widely revered as a champion of the disadvantaged. He died in 1999 at age 61 of complications from AIDS. The Vermont Democratic Party will honor him Friday night at the 17th annual David W. Curtis Leadership Awards dinner. Chris Curtis tries to honor his father’s legacy every day by carrying on his work. But it took time to find the way. After graduating from Champlain Valley Union High School in 1988, he spent eight years at the University of Vermont. Then he traveled the globe, hiking the hills of South Korea, teaching in the Dominican Republic and living and working on the West Coast — where he met his wife, Abby White. Curtis was 33 and “pretty focused” when he came back east to enroll at Vermont Law School. The Legal Aid lawyer and cochair of the Governor’s Council on Pathways from Poverty has since established himself as a plucky, persistent and almost unfailingly pleasant advocate for the poor — in court, the Statehouse and state government. “My clients are very, very smart, very resilient. The system is often stacked up against them,” Curtis said. “It’s my job to help them tell their story.”

POLITICS When a Barre woman’s water was turned off because her landlord didn’t pay the bill, Curtis won a court ruling in 2012 that determined that such shutoff policies are unconstitutional. He then persuaded lawmakers to bar all Vermont municipal water systems from repeating Barre’s mistake. Though he has never held state office, Curtis has had a hand in many of the key policy changes made on behalf of low-income Vermonters in recent years: fighting budget cuts to social services; giving those with suspended driver’s licenses a chance to get them back; and limiting how much rent-to-own stores may charge customers. Dressed typically in khakis, scuffed brown shoes and timeless sport jackets that set him apart from higher-paid lawyers and lobbyists who often surround him, Curtis navigates his way through the halls of power. “He gets you to say yes,” said T.J. Donovan, the Chittenden County state’s attorney with whom Curtis has worked on criminal justice policy. “He’s just got

a great way about him. He’s disarming. He doesn’t preach to you.” Curtis credits his adoptive parents with good direction. His mother, Nanci-Ames Curtis, said she and his father knew after having a child of their own — Chris’ older brother, Curt — that they wanted to adopt two kids. It was the late 1960s and the couple was conscious of overpopulation, she said. First they adopted a girl, Jill, from Lund. They took in newborn Chris nearly two years later, in 1970. “From the second they put this baby in my arms, he has been a joy,” said his mother, still a practicing psychiatrist at age 77. Curtis said he knows nothing about his birth family, and, like any adoptee, he wonders. “I’ve always respected the decision of my birth parents to make that difficult decision,” he said. “It certainly was the right decision for me.” That’s not to say his adoptive family was typical: His parents divorced in 1978, when Chris was 8, and his mother and father later both came out as gay.

For Curtis, the turn of events never felt traumatic. “We learned about resiliency, acceptance, trying to meet people in their own place,” he said. David Curtis started out as a Goldwater Republican but, as a lawyer, always pushed for social change. In 1970, the year he and Nanci-Ames adopted Chris, he won a pre-Roe v. Wade case in the Vermont Supreme Court that established a woman’s right to choose. He later won a gay adoption case that was cited in Vermont’s landmark same-sex marriage decision, Baker v. Vermont. David still had an R next to his name when he represented Charlotte in the state House for a term starting in 1975. But after an unsuccessful run for state attorney general in 1976, he switched parties and headed left. In 1980, David moved to rural Tennessee and then South Dakota to advocate for the poor. Son Chris spent summers with his father. He recalls watching from an upstairs window in Columbia, Tenn., while his father stood

Magic Words? The Hardwick Gazette Is for Sale After 30 years as publisher of the Hardwick Gazette, Ross Connelly is ready to pass the torch. To find someone to take over the 127-year-old weekly — the self-described “newspaper of record in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont” — he’s holding a contest. Entrants will pay $175 and submit an essay of no more than 400 words describing his or her “skills and vision for owning a newspaper in the new millennium.” The author of the most compelling piece — as determined by a panel of judges including Connelly — will become the ninth owner and publisher of the Gazette. In a phone interview, Connelly, who was about to turn 71, said, “I’ve still got the passion, but I don’t have the energy, and newspaper readers deserve and need new blood.” Selling businesses through essay contests has become something of a trend, though the Gazette may be the first newspaper to go this route. Connelly tried other methods. He considered turning it into a “community-supported” paper but couldn’t find anyone to actually run it. He also placed an ad in Editor & Publisher that attracted “some tire-kickers but nobody real serious.” He’s eager to find a successor, because currently, “If I were to keel over in my chair, the paper is going to die.” According to the contest rules, he’ll accept a maximum of 1,889 submissions — a number that corresponds to the year the Gazette was founded. If he doesn’t get a minimum of 700, he’ll refund the entrants. The contest runs through August 11. “We’re an institution in town,” Connelly said. “I really hope it will continue.”

Jury of Seven Men, Five Women Picked for McAllister Trial A jury of seven men and five women will file into Vermont Superior Court on Wednesday morning to decide whether Sen. Norm McAllister (R-Franklin) sexually assaulted a young woman who worked for him. Charges against 64-year-old McAllister will focus on alleged incidents in the barn of his Highgate Center farm between January 2010 and May 2015, according to court documents released Tuesday. Exactly when those alleged incidents occurred could become a point of contention during what is expected to be a two-day trial. The alleged victim, who is expected to be the first witness to testify Wednesday, has had difficulty pinpointing dates, Deputy State’s Attorney Diane Wheeler revealed during pretrial discussions Tuesday.

“Dates are an issue with her,” Wheeler told Judge Robert Mello. “Math and numbers are something she cannot do. I don’t believe she’s accurate with her dates.” The woman, now 21, worked on McAllister’s farm milking goats from the summer of 2012 through March 2013. She later worked for him as an unofficial legislative assistant in Montpelier. Defense attorney Brooks McArthur acknowledged that exact dates are not required to find a defendant guilty. He indicated, however, that he will challenge the alleged victim’s credibility, including questioning her time frame of the alleged events and the veracity of other accusations she has made against McAllister.

Thousands to Descend on Green Mountains for Rainbow Family Gathering Up to 20,000 “members” of the Rainbow Family of Living Light will gather in the Green Mountain National Forest in the coming weeks. An unofficial website describes the Rainbow Family as the “largest non-organization of non-members in the world.” Since 1972, the loose-knit, peace-loving group has descended on different national forests for annual gatherings that occur around July 4 and are open to all. The group promotes intentional communities and nonviolence, but its large get-togethers haven’t always been conflict-free. There have been violent incidents and controversies over the environmental impact on the parkland where members camp. This year, according to the U.S. Forest Service, the Rainbow Family has chosen the tiny Rutland County town of Mount Tabor. The Forest Service issued a press release Monday morning notifying Vermonters about the incoming crowds, which are expected to arrive in the upcoming weeks. In preparation, a National Incident Management Team has arrived in town and “is working with various local agencies to address public health and safety, while managing and minimizing adverse impacts to natural resources.” “Local businesses can expect to see large numbers of Rainbow Family participants visiting stores, buying food and supplies along routes to the gathering site,” the release says. “Areas are expected to be very congested during that time.”

If previous gatherings are any indication, some nudity, drugs, drum circles, dancing and heady discussions can be expected, as well.

n my way home, I stopped at Pearl Street Beverage to buy a six-pack of beer. The clerk, I noticed, was asking for identification from each of his customers. When I checked my inbox later that night, I saw that the man who’d sold me the AR-15 had emailed shortly after I’d left the Five Guys parking lot. “I don’t know you, but I trust that you have been watching the news,” he wrote. “Please don’t make me regret selling that firearm. It was good to meet you, and hope it was just what you were looking for.” m

hortly after the vigil, I met Burlington Police Chief BRANDON DEL POZO and Deputy Chief JANNINE WRIGHT in another parking lot for another gun exchange. This one, too, was perfectly legal. Outside the department’s headquarters, I unlocked my car and opened the trunk. Del Pozo pulled the weapon out of its carrying case and inspected it. “This is a, uh, AR-15,” he announced, holding it in both hands. “This is the civilian version of the military M16 — the nation’s assault rifle — used by the infantry in the Marines. This is similar to the weapon I used when I was in the Army National Guard as an infantry officer.” In New York City, where del Pozo had spent much of his career, what I’d done would have been illegal. The chief seemed as if he were still adjusting to Vermont’s nearly nonexistent gun laws. “We’re beginning to see some of the consequences of access to these types of weapons,” he noted. A few minutes later, Lt. DENNIS DUFFY, the department’s firearms instructor, joined us in the parking lot. “How much did you pay for it?” he asked. “Five hundred dollars,” I responded. “You got a deal!” he said. I followed the officers into BPD headquarters and watched as Duffy called in the serial number to determine whether the weapon had been reported stolen. “Dennis, the part that irks me is there was no background check,” del Pozo said, pointing in my direction. “He could be a jihadi or a right-wing Aryan guy or — he could work for [the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria]. I mean, he does have a beard.” The radio crackled. “All clear,” said an officer who had run the serial number through the National Crime Information Center database. At del Pozo’s suggestion, I turned over the gun to the Queen City Police Foundation, which would give it to the department for use in training — so the BPD might be prepared if it ever encountered a mass shooting. I signed a receipt and walked out to my car.

“Love, not hate,” one sign read. “We are Orlando,” read another. Sanders, whose presidential campaign was coming to an end, marched beside his wife, JANE O’MEARA SANDERS, and Pride Center of Vermont executive director KIM FOUNTAIN. U.S. Secret Service agents swarmed around them, hands near their pockets, and a depleted contingent of national reporters walked alongside. As Sanders passed Burlington City Hall, a group of people in front of him sang the 1969 antiwar ballad “One Tin Soldier.” “Go ahead and hate your neighbor. Go ahead and cheat a friend. Do it in the name of heaven. You can justify it in the end,” they sang. “There won’t be any trumpets blowing come the judgment day. On the bloody morning after, one tin soldier rides away.” The congregation of mourners turned right on Main Street and amassed in City Hall Park. Community leaders, led by Fountain, Sanders and former state representative JASON LORBER, mounted the city hall steps and stood in the early evening sun, next to an American flag, a Vermont flag and a rainbow flag. “Tonight we want to stand in solidarity with one another,” Fountain told the crowd. “We want to stand against the hate speech and the narrowmindedness that led to this shooting in the first place. We must meet violence with compassion.” Sanders followed Fountain to the podium and waved to the crowd. Thirtythree years earlier, when he was mayor of Burlington, he had called on the board of aldermen to formally recognize the city’s first gay pride march. Now, as a presidential candidate, he was there to mourn with the community. “It says a whole lot about our great city to see so many people out here this evening,” he said, his eyes squinting from the sun’s glare. Sanders offered his condolences and reminded his audience that while the Orlando gunman may have been Muslim, “To blame an entire religion for the acts of a single individual is bigotry — pure and simple.” Then he broached the topic of gun violence — perhaps the only issue on which rival presidential candidate HILLARY CLINTON had run to his left. “All of you know that the weapon used in Orlando was legally purchased,” he said. “And it is time for us to really rethink something that I have believed for decades: whether or not it makes sense for people today to walk into a store and purchase a military-style weapon, which has one purpose and one purpose alone, and that is to kill people.”

nti-censorship advocates are hailing a South Burlington elementary school’s decision to acquire a children’s book that tackles the subject of heroin addiction for its library. The move appears to come in reaction to last week’s controversial decision to cancel the author’s reading to fourth and fifth graders. Last week, children’s book author KATE MESSNER, of Plattsburgh, N.Y., was informed that her previously scheduled visit to South Burlington’s Chamberlin School had been abruptly called off due to its content. Messner’s novel The Seventh Wish, released on June 7, tells the story of how a young girl copes with a family member’s heroin addiction. “I’m shocked. I didn’t expect this,” said Messner, who’s written more than two dozen books for children and teens, none of which has generated controversy. “I’m

been supportive. However, one out-ofstate librarian wrote Messner saying that she’d initially ordered copies of The Seventh Wish, only to cancel the order when she learned what the book is about. “She said, ‘We’re not going to have a book about heroin addiction in our library,’” Messner quoted the librarian as saying. “And then she said, ‘My son doesn’t even know what heroin is and he’s in fourth grade.’” Messner, who taught middle school for 15 years, responded thus: “Your library doesn’t serve just your son. And your library doesn’t just serve the kids having the childhood we wish they were having,” she added. “You serve real kids with real lives, who are living tough situations. And when we say to those kids, ‘This book is inappropriate,’ we’re really saying to them, ‘Your life is inappropriate.’ I find that tremendously sad.” Jas Chana, communications director for the National Coalition Against Censorship in New York City, was hesitant to label the incident censorship, noting that the school’s decision-making process appeared to be “a bit confused.” “Our concern isn’t so much that this was censorship,” Chana added, “so much as these decisions are made subjectively rather than following some pedagogic principle.” Messner said the episode has a “lovely silver lining”: The South Burlington Community Library has offered to host a makeup event on Tuesday, June 28, at 4 p.m. Authors, teachers and librarians who read about the incident have donated at least 100 copies of The Seventh Wish for the community library to give away to readers. “We believe we’ll have enough to give every child who attends a signed copy,” Messner said. And, Messner added, Chamberlin has since informed her of its plans to carry The Seventh Wish in its school library. Contact: ken@sevendaysvt.com

Pursuit,” while another jots on a notepad, “Too young. Too reserved.” Schutz told Seven Days that the female cow is meant to represent Hunt herself, thus indicating her sense of being ogled, ostracized, outnumbered and, as the title suggests, judged by state media. It’s unclear to what extent these caricatured media beasts are meant to stand in for the public eye at large. A celebrated Andy Warhol aphorism decrees, “Don’t pay any attention to what they write about you. Just measure it in inches.” In that respect, Hunt’s first success as an artist is that, in very short order, her work has racked up a lot of inches — from the Gawker-owned online magazine Jezebel to the Associated Press to the Vermont Twitterverse. Another success of Hunt’s installation: It is immediately visually exciting. Her figures are perfectly scaled for the office space, and the mucky white of the papier-mâché stands out boldly against the colorful pattern of the replica 1859 carpet. (Shumlin and Schutz both confirmed that copies of Seven Days were used to make the papier-mâché. “It’s free,” observed Shumlin.) Anyone can appreciate the interruption of a gilded ceremonial space by jaunty animals made from everyday materials, because it is thematically inappropriate. Hunt’s cows, in particular, are kind of funny on their own. Like BREAD

arly last week, Sen. Bernie Sanders supporters nationwide were in an uproar over the Associated Press’ announcement that Hillary Clinton was the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee — before the polls had even opened in California and five other states. Meanwhile, in Vermont, artist KATIE HUNT lambasted the media in her own way. In a surprising and politically charged art exhibition, the artist — and wife of Gov. Peter Shumlin — installed “Anthropomorphizing Animals: A Satirical Critique of People in Power” in the governor’s ceremonial office at the Statehouse. Hunt graduated this spring with a degree in studio art from Mount Holyoke College. According to state curator DAVID SCHUTZ, Shumlin strongly encouraged her to show her senior thesis works at the capitol. In the tradition of many political, guerrilla-style artist interventions, the exhibition was not formally announced. Hunt’s papier-mâché figures suggest criticism of specific media outlets. In “Judgment Day,” three papier-mâché cows wear press badges from Bovine Days (Seven Days),, Cowpieslinger.org (VTDigger.org) and Dairy-Free Press (Burlington Free Press). The press-cows, which are positioned in the area occupied by human reporters during press conferences, look more like hyenas as they bare sharp cardboard teeth and surround a standing female cow in pink high heels and lipstick, udder exposed. The laptop of one reporter-cow reads only “Dogged

which she cites as an influence, she has employed modest materials and strategic physical traits — such as prickly eggcarton spines — to communicate universally recognizable qualities: boniness, hunger, insatiability.

Showing Hunt’s work in the office is “a lot more interesting than seeing the art in a neutral gallery space,” Schutz suggested. This seems accurate. Beyond the initial sensation of location, though, the installation is a strange and unexpected dispatch from the belly of a political beast, as it were. Velvet ropes protect the installation from visitors as if it were a crime scene. Hunt’s raw presentation of her perceived victimhood is challenged by two factors. The first is within the artwork: Her cow-self stands defiantly, towering over the sitting press-cows with hands on hips. The second is that being allowed to exhibit in this historical office space inherently betrays a certain privilege — such as that accorded to the governor’s wife. Asked about this privilege in relation to her art’s “satirical critique of people in power,” Hunt wrote in an email via Shumlin spokesperson SCOTT CORIELL, “As someone who shies away from the public eye and is uncomfortable with formal introductions, I thought this would be a fun way to share a bit of myself with Vermonters.” Under different circumstances, any discomfort Hunt’s work provokes might be considered a mark of conceptual sophistication. Her “satire” is perhaps a self-fulfilling prophecy, as the press is certainly paying attention to her now. The work might even be considered feminist, given its shucking of the conventional social expectations of a governor’s spouse and its twisted representation of life on her terms. But it is impossible to divorce the work from the specific, privileged context in which it is presented, and it’s difficult to detect intentions of sharing anything deeper than what is blatantly evident. That seems to be a lot of hurt, ostensibly disguised as humor. Hunt depicts herself as a hyper-feminized victim of a snarling press-mob. In a work that does not appear related to media, positioned across the

office from “Judgment Day,” “P-cock went hunting (peacock and buck)” depicts Hunt’s husband as a flamboyant peacock in the process of eviscerating the buck he has just killed, guts spilling onto the floor. Shumlin explained during a Wednesday press conference that this piece originated when Hunt helped him bring a buck he had shot to the weigh station, “guts steaming like they do.” He went on to say, “I think governors in their offices should be able to hang whatever artwork they choose,” citing former governor Jim Douglas’ 2004 decision to remove a certain “risqué” lamp from the same room. Contradicting his assertion of gubernatorial privilege, however, both Shumlin and his staff have repeatedly asserted that Hunt’s exhibition exists within the tradition of formally promoting the arts in the governor’s offices. But if the governor intended Hunt’s work to be judged on its own merits, this was the wrong venue for its exhibition. And that’s the least funny part of this satirical show: Regardless of whatever career Hunt may have as a Vermont artist, her debut exhibition in the state is inextricable — in form and content — from the uglier political dimensions of her personal life. As Shumlin told the press, Hunt has gone from “a life where there’s no scrutiny at all to being watched.”

stuff that was being said around that time, like ‘Conception starts at menstruation,’ that it was OK for a doctor to withhold information from a patient for a woman’s own good … We were listening to it and thinking, This stuff feels so archaic; it feels like it belongs in the ’50s.” “Then Donald Trump comes on the scene, and we were dealing with the same issues all over again,” DiMascio continues. Just when we all thought we were beginning to move beyond anachronistic sexist language that goes against the most basic science, the real estate mogul/reality television star conjured up the attitudes of the 1950s (albeit far more crassly).

wondering about “men-stru-ation” and other changes happening in her body. Nurse Jenkins, played by CHRIS CASWELL, calmly takes out a brochure commissioned by the “U.S. Department of Homemaking Education,” which explains that menstruation occurs during a full moon, when the “irresistible pull of the moon planet” affects a woman’s “inside parts.” The film goes on like that, full of helpful information to guide Sally through this exciting but confusing time in her life. Though the troupe first performed “Becoming a Woman” live in 2012, the members have since reimagined the sketch based on current events. Originally, DiMascio recalls, “The sketch had a heavy focus on the state of Arizona, with a lot of references to all kinds of interesting and fucked-up

Spending a half hour with even three members of the sketch comedy group Stealing From Work feels like having an improv sesh with highly talented comedians. MARIANNE DIMASCIO, the group’s cofounder and self-proclaimed leader, is constantly cracking jokes and whips out a notebook to jot down any bit of conversation that could become a sketch. ANGIE ALBECK plays the straight man, her calm standing in stark relief to DiMascio’s zany personality, only to hit you with a one-line zinger that leaves you in stitches. Troupe member and filmmaker KEVIN CHRISTOPHER sips his coffee and pretends not to know either of them. These three characters are part of a larger ensemble with a rotating cast that produces a sketch comedy show once a year, usually in February. Recently, the members of SFW decided to find out what it would take to turn one of their sketches into a film. The result is a clever, laugh-out-loud funny and — though it’s set in the 1950s — extremely topical short called “Becoming a Woman.” Posted on SFW’s Facebook page, the film is a black-and-white mock informational guide for girls on the brink of womanhood. It features a young girl named Sally, played by DiMascio, who skips into the school nurse’s office

years and — voilà! The troupe felt a pressing need to revive the “Becoming a Woman” sketch. With an emphasis on how womanhood will look if it continues to be defined by politically conservative white men, SFW’s satire is, unfortunately, as relevant today as it has ever been. Working with film brought its own set of unique challenges, distinct from those of live theater. “In order to make a quality short film, you need to be detailed,” DiMascio explains. “Onstage, our actors are in black clothing, and there are no props. But for the film, we spent months looking for an authentic cot from the 1950s. And you can’t even see it!” Christopher is quick to point out that viewers can sense the cot is there. DiMascio says SFW intends to turn many more of its nearly 80 sketches into short films — an endeavor assisted by SAINTS & POETS PRODUCTION COMPANY, of which Christopher is cofounder. “I was pleasantly surprised by how well our work translated into film,” DiMascio says. “It started as a web sketch, but after the rough cut” — she looks to Christopher for confirmation that, yes, that is the correct term — “we realized that it was more like a short film.” SFW will submit “Becoming a Woman” to the VERMONT INTERNATIONAL FILM FOUNDATION’S Vermont Filmmakers’ Showcase, and it hopes to do the same with future creations. What other sketches can we look forward to seeing on film? A Mary Poppins who helps adults in the bedroom, and an athlete vying for the last spot on the Olympic Kegel Team, to name two. As DiMascio googles “women with strong Kegels” on her phone, she reiterates that her troupe always aims to poke fun either at themselves or at people in power. Their intention is never to be cruel, but to laugh at the ridiculous aspects of modern times. “And nurses,” Christopher adds, “Because fuck them. Just kidding. Sexy nurses are fine.” If the troupe’s next ventures are as funny as “Becoming a Woman” — or as an hour in the presence of SFW members — local comedy fans are in for a treat. Meantime, catch the group’s live performance in July at the GREEN MOUNTAIN COMEDY FESTIVAL. m

She was a slender, attractive, middle-aged woman with short and lustrous black hair and dark eyes that shone with intelligence and hard-earned wisdom. That’s a lot to read into a person’s eyes, I know, but those who see far deeper than I have written of the eyes as the “window to the soul.”

away. Not that the bulk of Route 7 ever gets significantly backed up, short of an accident or road construction shutting down a lane. (The Burlington segment is another story.) I couldn’t place Rosie’s accent. It was something, though subtle. Everybody is from somewhere, and that’s reflected in their speech, but this customer was stumping me. So I broached the subject:

MY EARLIEST MEMORY WAS MY MOTHER HIDING ME UNDER THE BED WHEN BULLETS WERE FLYING OUTSIDE ON THE STREETS. ROS I TA TARKI N GT ON

Getting out to lend her a hand, I introduced myself. “Rosita? Good to meet you. I’m Jernigan.” “Good to meet you, too,” she replied. “And call me Rosie.” Luggage loaded and under way, I asked, “So, where ya flying out to, Rosie?” “I’m headed to Florida — Clearwater — to spend some time with my daughter and grandchild.” “Sounds like a fun getaway, a nice vacation. Tough time of year to leave Vermont, though. I mean, it would be for me.” Rosie smiled from her shotgun seat and gently sighed. “It is for me, too, but my daughter can use some motherly love right now. She suffers from Crohn’s disease, and she’s having a rough stretch.” “I understand,” I said. “I hope things improve for her. I’m sure your presence will be of great help, certainly to her spirits.” Before long, we reached Route 7 and turned north. Traffic wasn’t too bad, as the summer tourist season was weeks

“Have you lived in Vermont for a while?” “About 15 years,” she replied. “Before that, most of my life, I resided in Florida. But I was born in Cuba, just before the revolution.” Cuba, I noticed, she pronounced “Coo-ba,” which made sense, as did her first name now. “When did your family get to Florida?” I asked. “Well, that’s quite a story. My earliest memory was my mother hiding me under the bed when bullets were flying outside on the streets. My father quickly turned against the revolution when he saw how repressive the Castro regime had become. Luckily, he still had a little pull and connections from his association with the university, and we were able to leave within about a year and settle into the Cuban community in Miami.” “What was Miami like back then?” “Very tight-knit. The Cuban immigrants differed from other immigrants because the thought was, We’re going back. It’s just a matter of time. So, for

ristol’s Greenwood Cemetery, as viewed from the roadside gate, seemed to fit the bill for what I had in mind. I had just dropped off a customer in Bristol and, in a fortuitous piece of scheduling, was booked for a New Haven pickup just 10 miles down the road. But first, I had an hour and a half to kill. Since I had worked seriously late the previous night, a nap was in order. I eased my taxi through the arched entranceway onto the grounds. I prefer my cemeteries thoughtfully cared for but not overly manicured, and Greenwood struck the perfect balance. Desiring a buffer from the Saturday afternoon traffic on Route 17, I followed the slim dirt road around to the back. A short turnoff conveniently appeared, and I pulled in and cut the ignition. Most times of the year, I’d simply tilt back my seat and snooze, but the idyllic May weather beckoned. I stepped out and lay down on my back in the green grass. Feeling suspended in color and fragrance, I wished I could identify by name the blossoming trees, ferns and bushes that surrounded me. But, alas, I’m a city boy born and bred, a child of asphalt. Having set the timer on my cellphone, off I drifted. I awoke before the alarm, rested and refreshed. My next fare, Rosita Tarkington, lived at the end of a dirt road dotted with relatively modern and expansive properties. My default is to view such residential developments as the homes, or second homes, of wealthy flatlanders, but, of course, plenty of native Vermonters can also afford expensive real estate.

Now, of course, Obama has opened things up quite a bit, and it’s much easier to visit and do business there. That must be — I don’t know — emotional to Cuban Americans like yourself.” Rosie considered my point, and offered quietly, “It’s bittersweet.” Nudging the conversation toward less bittersweet terrain, I pivoted to her work life. “Have you pursued a career?” “Absolutely,” she replied, brightening. “Always in the field of communications. It seems to suit me. I also have a parttime gig translating teaching materials, doing voice-overs for the Middlebury College language program. That’s a lot of fun and just down the road from me.” “How about a creative outlet?” I asked. “I have a feeling you harbor some artistic inclination, if not passion.” Rosie chuckled, looked at me for a moment and gave it up. “Well, I write plays. I’ve always wanted to be a playwright.” “Really?” I said. “That is awesome. What’s your subject matter? What do you like to write about?” “A lot of things,” she replied. “The common thread, if I think about — well, they’re all filled with some…” Rosie paused, and what she said next was in a conspiratorial whisper: “very dark humor.” “I can see that,” I said as we laughed together. “I just bet.” m

n a dead-end country road surrounded by rolling farm fields south of Middlebury, Scott Barkdoll builds and refurbishes wood and canvas canoes. His classic works evoke a simpler time of communing with the wilderness. Barkdoll, now 52, has been making things with his hands since he was 5 years old and building tree houses in Pennsylvania. Over the years, he has remodeled two houses and built three houses from scratch. The son of a farmer, carpenter and itinerant preacher, Barkdoll grew up in Pennsylvania, Illinois, New Mexico and West Virginia. As an adult, he worked as a carpenter for a decade before visiting Connecticut’s Mystic Seaport in 1990, where he saw a display of wooden canoes and fell in love. In 1992, Barkdoll founded Skywoods Canoe Company. Over the past 20 years, first in Michigan and since 2004 in Vermont, he has built, bought, sold and renovated more than 1,000 wood and canvas canoes, he says. He’s a member of the Wooden Canoe Heritage Association, which will hold its annual assembly July 12 to 17 at Paul Smith’s College in upstate New York. Barkdoll has taught wooden canoe building for various museums and organizations around the region and is a mentor to many aspiring builders. He took time out to talk with Seven Days about his craft. SEVEN DAYS: What are your specialties within the wooden canoe community? SCOTT BARKDOLL: In the winter of 1998 I built my first canoe molds. I have five different canoe models that I’ve built, and since then I have built around 30 of them. My two specialties are the smaller boats, like the 12-foot model called Dancing Girl,, and then, on the other end, working on the great big war canoes that are 25 feet and longer, built mostly for summer camps. SD: What do you like about your work? SB: There are often great stories that come with canoes I work on. Many times the younger generation takes on restoring an old family heirloom for Mom or Dad’s birthday or a family reunion. I once asked a very old grandmother about how she got her canoe (circa 1920), and she answered, “My dad bought it for me as a reward for stopping smoking.” Another [customer] was a Boy Scout whose trip to the big

jamboree was canceled due to a flu epidemic, so he got a canoe instead that summer. Becoming friends with customers is a lot of fun. SD: What has been your biggest professional challenge? SB: Reconstructing a 35-foot war canoe that came to me in two pieces. It was apparently broken apart by a horse that was tied to it. Rebuilding that was a real challenge! I’ve built canoes that have gone to British Columbia, Newfoundland and Australia. SD: Where do you get the wood you work with? SB: I buy Vermont northern white cedar, mostly from Goodridge Lumber in Albany, Vt., and a little bit from Shelburne Farms. Cedar steambends really well and is rot-resistant. The trim on the canoes is typically ash or cherry. SD: What makes wooden canoes special or different from your average plastic boat? SB: There’s something aesthetically pleasing about wooden canoes. There’s something magical about them on the water that lets you get closer to wildlife. The late [canoe builder] Jack McGreivey of Cato, N.Y., once said that wooden canoes are the perfect mating of art, craft and nature.

Dear Cecil,

In Star Wars: The Force Awakens, the planet-killer device absorbs the sun to do its dirty work. This got me to wondering: If the sun suddenly went out, how long would it take us to freeze solid? Barry

otwithstanding the primary source you cite — that is, some Disney focus group’s idea of a movie plot — it strikes me that there are a few fundamental physical laws of the universe that just might work against the sun’s being abruptly extinguished. But OK, I’ll play along. What might conceivably produce such an effect here on Earth? The sun could be eaten by a black hole, I guess, in which case the temperature over in these parts is going to be the least of our worries. Some enormous foreign body could pass between us and the sun. Or, in what’s probably the most realistic scenario, a passing high-mass object (black hole, rogue planet, etc.) could pull our planet away from the sun, sending us spinning into interstellar oblivion. (Serious sci-fi fans — not your Star Wars types, I mean the real geeks — may have come across this conceit in a 1950s short story by Fritz Leiber called “A Pail of Air.”) Anyway, let’s say something like that just ... happened, and that we’re not too worried

lot of help from our little satellite sidekick: just 3.6 trillion watts. So, about 60 trillion watts, give or take. Which may sound like plenty until we quantify the sun’s contribution to our current heat budget: 114,600 trillion watts, or about 1,900 times what’s generated here on Earth. What happens when the lights go out? According to Una’s calculations, the equilibrium temperature on the surface of the Earth would, after the planet cooled fully, settle out at 43.6 degrees Kelvin, aka negative 381 degrees Fahrenheit, aka not exactly A Sunday on La Grande Jatte — cold enough that almost all our atmosphere would turn to liquid. (Hence “A Pail of Air.”) And that’s assuming the moon stays with us. The estimate drops one degree Fahrenheit without it. How long would it take us to get there? Depends on a variety of factors: how the heat-transfer process changes as water vapor leaves the atmosphere, how quickly heat circulates in the oceans and up through the Earth’s crust, and so forth. In the best case, the

average temperature drops to 32 degrees Fahrenheit in about 400 days, and to zero degrees Fahrenheit in 879 days. These averages, however, include the oceans, and the heat retained there will largely stay there, not doing us much good. If we focus instead on the 10 percent of the biosphere closest to us, we’ve only got about 38 days ’til the average temperature is 32 degrees Fahrenheit, and 83 days ’til it’s down to zero. The carbon dioxide in the air turns to dry ice on day 236, and on day 503 the oxygen in the atmosphere liquefies. Can humanity survive? Sure, at least for a while, but ideally we’d have a couple of decades to prepare. The Earth’s crust is a great insulator, and we could build underground warrens that tap into buried fossil fuels for energy; we’ll want to hook up some nuclear generators, too. This gives us heat to warm ourselves by, electricity

for charging our Kindles, and light for greenhouses. And of course there’s that core and mantle heat, which obviously gets more intense the deeper we dig. At the bottom of South Africa’s TauTona gold mine, for instance, nearly two and a half miles down, the air temperature is a balmy 130 degrees Fahrenheit — a good deal hotter than the recent record-setting (and lethal) heat wave in India, so at some point we may encounter the perverse-seeming situation of needing to rig up an air-conditioning system. One foresees a few other problems, too: a population of pasty depressives, living a dank subterranean existence with dim longterm prospects. Come to think of it, that sounds like the sort of society that sci-fi geeks living in their parents’ basements will be perfectly optimized for. At which point, I suppose, the operating cinematic reference becomes Revenge of the Nerds.

about the various other problematic implications of such an event. We’re mainly worried about staying warm. Let’s start by compiling the sources of heat we currently enjoy, with calculations from the prolific scratchpad of my assistant Una: Core and mantle. The Earth contains enormous amounts of residual heat from its formation, slowly being transferred from the core up through the mantle and eventually to the Earth’s crust. Figure 8 trillion watts from the core and 18 trillion from the mantle, for a total of 26 trillion watts. Radioactive decay. Many elements on Earth — uranium, thorium, potassium, et al — decay continuously, with heat a principle by-product of this process. Una estimated we can probably put the heat energy here in the neighborhood of 13 trillion watts. Human-made heat. Currently worldwide energy production, including fossil fuels and nuclear (but not solar and wind — no sun, remember?), kicks in about 18 trillion watts. Tidal energy from the moon. Heatwise, we don’t get a whole

n April 26 at about 4 p.m., Fatuma Bulle faced what she describes as the most frightening moment of her life. The Somali Bantu woman and her son, Ahmed, were walking on Burlington’s North Champlain Street when a Caucasian man yelled to them, “Go home! Go home!” Bulle ignored Michael Kochalian, but he continued to taunt her and called her a “terrorist,” she later told police. Bulle, who is black and wears a head scarf in keeping with Islamic tradition, stood up to him. “What is your problem?” she asked. Kochalian started running toward her. She thought she saw him brandish a gun as he bellowed, “You’re my problem.” Bulle remembered thinking, “Oh, my God, if I were to die right now, what would happen to my son?”

Fatuma Bulle

It wasn’t Bulle’s first life-threatening encounter. She was shot in her right arm during the civil war in Somalia. In the Kenyan refugee camp where she lived for almost a decade, she feared getting raped every time she went to collect firewood. She defied elders in her community when she divorced her abusive husband seven years ago. Still, she called the Old North End confrontation her “worst challenge” because she believed Ahmed’s life was in danger. The 7-year-old screamed and hid behind his mother while she extended her arms to shield him. The scene attracted onlookers, but no one intervened until a black man approached. “She’s a mother. Stay away from her,” the unidentified man told Kochalian. Bulle believes the stranger saved both her and her son. The Huffington Post listed the Burlington incident on its “Islamophobia” tracker, which recorded 124 hostile acts against American Muslims and those perceived to be Muslims between January and April this year. But Bulle is not just a statistic. She has broken out of the patriarchal confines of her Somali Bantu community to

become a leader. She draws on her own experience to advocate for underserved groups, especially women whose children have disabilities. “She’s a very empathetic, sympathetic person who has concern for her whole community — and especially of women in it,” said Sandy Baird, Bulle’s friend and former college professor. “It comes from, maybe, her idea that there’s a mission that’s greater than herself.” At Burlington College, Bulle organized a panel discussion in which four Muslim women talked about their experiences wearing the head scarf in the Burlington area. As an employee at the Vermont Family Network, she promotes cross-cultural understanding between service providers and New American families. She encourages Somali families to engage with other communities — and Muslim mothers to sign their daughters up for swimming lessons. Bulle said that being alive sometimes feels like a “miracle,” considering what she’s been through. Whenever she faces an obstacle, she’s reminded of how far she’s come since leaving Somalia and Kenya. “My heart told me, ‘You survived

there, you survived there. Think about it,’” she said. Her own experience with adversity motivates Bulle to help others. “I know how it feels,” she said.

Floral paintings and decorative plates adorn the walls of the small living room in Bulle’s two-bedroom Winooski apartment. On the sofa are her Burlington College degree and graduation gown. A sewing machine sits on the floor. At home, Bulle wears the long, colorful, loose-fitting dresses favored by Somali women and keeps her hair in a turban. When she goes out, she rarely opts for the slip-on head scarf favored by older women from her community,

As strong and capable as Bulle appears, though, there’s something fragile about the single Somali mom. She keeps the living room curtains drawn and is afraid to undergo surgery to remove a bullet that has been lodged in her arm since the early 1990s. She said it would be different if her own mother were around to take care of her. When she arrived in Vermont in 2004 with a group of Somali Bantu refugees, Bulle was a rarity, the only single woman without a family. She didn’t know her age — according to U.S. documents, she’s now 37, but Bulle believes her age is closer to 30 — because she got separated from her parents in the chaos of the Somali civil war. She was living with neighbors when she got caught in the crossfire.

FINDING HER VOICE

Although her memory of the Mogadishu firefight is hazy, Bulle said she remembers asking for water after she got shot and hearing soldiers — presumably Americans — speaking a thenunfamiliar language. As an adult, she thought she recognized the skirmish in which she was injured while watching the movie Black Hawk Down. Clearer is her recollection of the long walk from Mogadishu to Kakuma Refugee Camp in northwestern Kenya. “Some people died. Some people couldn’t walk because of [the] long, long journey,” she recalled. The camp wasn’t safe for women because sexual assaults were common. “You don’t have firewood. You have to go to the forest, and you never know if you’re going to be raped,” she said. There was never enough food. “Maybe tomorrow, one

choosing instead to style her own wrap. She alters knee-length dresses from Macy’s into long skirts and tops them off with cardigans, rings and bangles. Like other Somali women, she never wears pants. Bulle, who was once spotted by a model scout, dreams of opening her own clothing store one day. Her creative approach to fashion doesn’t suggest that Bulle is a less devout Muslim. She interrupts her work or leaves a public meeting to pray five times a day, as required. The same rules apply to her son. Bulle insists that Ahmed read the Koran — her motto: “No Koran, no games” — and reminds him when to worship. Tall and serious, Bulle can seem fierce until she laughs, revealing a perfect smile. That’s what happens when she recalls how Ahmed once gave her a back massage before asking if he could have another hour on her laptop.

About a year ago, when I was a journalism student at Columbia University in New York City, a mentor had some advice for me. I don’t remember her exact words, but the message was clear: It would be difficult for me to find a reporting job in the U.S. because my head scarf would make me stand out too much. The head scarf, which Westerners refer to as a hijab, is an object of interest and mystery to many Americans. “What’s that thing on your head?” “Are you bald?” “Can I take a peek?” “Do you wear your scarf when you shower?” “Do you wear it when you’re at home?” These are some of the questions asked of Muslim women. I’ve gotten some of them myself. Hijab means “barrier” in Arabic and is part of the Islamic concept of modesty. The head scarf, which observant Muslim women generally wear in public, is just one of its manifestations. I choose to wear the hijab because it’s a symbol of my commitment to my beliefs. As Fatuma Bulle said during her thesis presentation at Burlington College, religious dress is not unique to Islam. Statues of the Virgin Mary always have a head covering. It’s not uncommon for Christian women to wear hats when they go to church. Whether the anti-Islamic rhetoric is in reaction to bombings in Brussels or last weekend’s mass shooting in Orlando, Muslim women who wear the head scarf are easily identifiable and thus more susceptible to unwelcome attention.

In the past few months, I’ve heard insensitive remarks about mine. Since I’m from Singapore, where 14 percent of the population is Muslim, I don’t go about my day expecting such comments. When I do get them, I’m caught off guard. For example, a source once assumed I was an English Language Learner student because those were the only Muslim women with whom she interacted. Another time, a colleague used my “otherness” to explain why his dog started barking at me. A different one said September 11 wasn’t a good day to wear the head scarf. It’s hurtful to be associated with a group of murderers who acted against Islamic values. But there is reason to be optimistic. First of all, that I have colleagues at all proves my mentor was wrong; I’ve been on staff at Seven Days for a year now. I think my fellow reporters realize that my head scarf does not prevent me from having a personality, ambitions and opinions. Noor Traina feels the same way. Last month, VTDigger.org published “Being a Muslim American Woman,” a commentary that she wrote for a class at the Community College of Vermont. “As an American belonging to a religious minority, I ask my audience to treat that Muslim neighbor, employee, or classmate as one of their own,” the 16-year-old college freshman wrote. “Next time you meet a Muslim, ask them how the weather is, what motivates them, and how they find joy. In their response, you might find greater similarities than you might

time, you will eat, and then all day, you will stay hungry.” Although Bulle never had any formal education in Mogadishu, she got the opportunity to attend a private school in the Kenyan capital, Nairobi. That’s where she learned English. After nearly a decade as an expat in Africa, she was included in a large group of Somali Bantu refugees resettled in the U.S. By that time she could speak four languages: English, Maay Maay, Somali and Swahili. For the first couple of months in Vermont, Bulle stayed with Megan and Michael Wenrich in Burlington. Megan remembers Bulle waking up early on winter days and gulping down a hot cup of coffee before setting off to catch the bus to her job as an interpreter at the Vermont Refugee Resettlement Program. As Bulle acclimatized to her new environment, she never complained about the cold weather or the stresses of adjusting to a new culture. “I was just amazed,” Wenrich said in a phone interview from Florida, where she and her husband now live. She remembers Bulle as someone who “cares very much for family, honesty [and] hard work.” By 2007, Bulle felt ready to start her own family; she didn’t want to be alone any longer. She married a Somali man she had known in the refugee camp, and he moved from Chicago to live with her in Vermont. But “life is full of surprises,” Bulle said. Her husband turned out to be abusive. “I remember a night … my child’s father was going to kill me with a pillow,” she said. To calm him down, “I said ‘I love you,’ and then he let me go,” she said in a steady voice, as her eyes welled up. “He told me that if I told anybody, I’m not going to be alive.” It’s rare in Somali Bantu culture for a woman to divorce her husband, Bulle said, so there was little support from her community. She tried to leave her husband because she didn’t want her son to grow up in an unhealthy environment, but for months the elders dissuaded her from doing so, urging her to be patient. “They wouldn’t let me do it. They stopped me many, many times,” she said. “They are men. Men always side with the men. They don’t listen to women.” Her husband eventually agreed to a divorce to avoid a criminal charge after she reported him to the police for domestic abuse. “Some people may look at her as someone who isn’t respectful to the culture [because] she chose to leave her marital home,” Thato Ratsebe, a female friend, said. “But over time, people have

learned that, in fact, she made the best choices.” Many victims of domestic violence wish they were as strong as Bulle, but “they just don’t have the strength to stand up for themselves or step out,” Ratsebe said.

Sink or Swim The parking lot of the St. Joseph Catholic School was crowded on a scorching Saturday morning last month for New American Safety Day, a project of the University of Vermont Children’s Hospital. Drivers waited in line for their vehicles to be outfitted with free car seats. Service providers set up booths in a nearby green space. The Vermont Family Network had a table, but Bulle stood with staffers from the Greater Burlington YMCA. Two Somali girls approached the YMCA’s table, and Bulle zeroed in on them. “Do you want to sign up for

swimming?” The pair nodded. A YMCA employee sized up the teens, wrote down their names on her clipboard, and showed them a picture of the fullbody swimming suit and head covering that Bulle had recommended to the organizers. As more Somali families made their way to the table, Bulle greeted them and urged them to sign their children up for swimming lessons during the summer vacation. She pulled out the picture of the swim attire again to assure parents that their daughters would get culturally appropriate swimming suits. By 1 p.m., the crowd had thinned and activities at the booths were winding down. But Bulle stepped up her recruitment effort by looking for more families in the parking lot. Bulle said that swimming is a way for Somali girls to be active, get out of their house and have fun. “It’s good for their body. It’s important for health,” said

Bulle, who enjoyed swimming in the Indian Ocean off the coast of Kenya. Besides helping her community integrate into mainstream society without forsaking their religious obligations, Bulle promotes wider cross-cultural relations. She used the March forum at Burlington College to educate others on why Muslim women wear a head covering and why it’s their right to do so. “We are part of this country. And we have the same rights,” she said. As a result of that forum, Bulle has been invited to speak at churches and the Winooski School District. “To put yourself on the line, I think, given the current climate, is very courageous,” said Baird, who attended the event at Burlington College. The breadth of Bulle’s advocacy work suggests that she understands how various communities are connected. She joined a Black Lives Matter rally in St. Albans to protest against racism in schools. She helped the Janet S. Munt Family Room — where she worked as an AmeriCorps member — raise money to stay open. She and Baird organized local events for International Women’s Day. Bulle has also volunteered at the Chittenden Emergency Food Shelf and the Committee on Temporary Shelter. But the work closest to her heart is with children with disabilities, because, frankly, it’s personal. When she worked as a medical interpreter, Bulle saw how refugee parents resisted any suggestion that their son or daughter might have a disability. “Parents say no; doctors say yes,” she said. Some parents believe the condition will go away. Others view it as karmic. Others don’t understand the system or how to get help. “They don’t want people to know they have a child with a disability. That’s why they hide,” she said. As a member of the family support staff at VFN, Bulle connects children with special needs to the professionals who can help them. In her first month on the job, Bulle brought 10 kids with disabilities to VFN. After six months, the number was up to 100. “She holds providers accountable and calls the system on things that do not work well for diverse families and children with disabilities, making recommendations for changes that families think will be helpful,” VFN president Pam McCarthy wrote in an email. That includes her own. Ahmed has a disability, and while Bulle said she doesn’t view it as a stigma, she declined to identify what it is. She said she doesn’t want to give her son’s bullies any more ammo. That some of Ahmed’s tormenters turned out to be fellow Somali kids from

their own housing complex was particularly painful for Bulle — in fact, some of her fellow tenants are relatives. When she complained to the parents, she said they responded: “‘Oh, my son doesn’t listen to me.’” Ahmed’s teachers and program mentors at Winooski’s JFK Elementary were more responsive. As a result of Bulle’s intervention, his bullies were suspended from a special program for three weeks and warned to stay away from her son. These days, Ahmed takes the bus to school so that he arrives just in time for class. He eats lunch with his teacher.

have imagined,” Traina continued in her written piece. “It’s important for Muslim women to have relations with non-Muslims, because that will help normalize who we are in society,” the California native told me. She hopes to start a blog on Muslim American women and their contributions and achievements after she moves to Boston this summer.

Turkish-born Basoglu sometimes hears stories of a Muslim “being given the middle finger,” but generally, “there are more good stories than bad stories.” Not everyone has the opportunity to educate others and overturn stereotypes. I learned from other Muslim women in Vermont that they’ve been called derogatory names by passing strangers. Zahra Mohamed, 20, remembers walking home from sports practice two years ago when a motorist yelled, “Go back home. We don’t want you here.” The Winooski resident said a fellow student once asked her, “Why are you wearing curtains on your head?” She tried to explain to him, but he wasn’t interested, she said. Sometimes, the head scarf can be a psychological barrier between people, said Lule Aden. When the 19-year-old started her freshman year at the University of Vermont, she felt isolated. Her classmates hardly talked to her. I cannot survive this campus, she remembered thinking. She considered transferring to another college. But for a week, Aden carried out an experiment. She tucked her hair up in a turban similar to the head wrap that black American women wear. “It did allow me to pass as an African American and not a Muslim right away,” she said. She noticed her classmates were friendlier. “I felt like another student. I felt like I fit,” the Somali said. None of the Muslim women I spoke to faced anything like the alleged hate crime directed at Bulle in April in Burlington’s Old North End. But they do witness occasional discrimination. Since Jennifer Billings of Colchester started wearing the head scarf three years ago, she noticed that she’s subject to searches whenever she takes the ferry to New York. The trunk of her car has been inspected six times since she converted to Islam. Nothing similar has befallen her in the realm of housing or employment, according to 50-year-old Billings, a para-educator and former Army brat who characterized Vermonters as “genuinely accepting and welcoming.” But it’s possible Muslim women wouldn’t even know when they’re

being victimized, according to Rachel Batterson, director of Vermont Legal Aid’s Housing Discrimination Law Project. “Most people don’t come out to say, ‘I don’t want to rent to you because you’re Muslim.’ People are educated enough to know they’re not supposed to say that, even if they’re thinking it,” Batterson said, noting that Muslim women who wear the head scarf, are black and have a foreign accent are among the most vulnerable. Some young Muslim women in Vermont are trying to transform public perceptions — most notably, a quartet of slam poets who call themselves Muslim Girls Making Change. The team is preparing for the Brave New Voices International Youth Poetry Slam Festival, a conference and competition for youth, in Washington, D.C. The inspiration for most of their poems comes from their experiences as young American Muslims juggling multiple identities and expectations. Hawa Adam, who just finished her sophomore year at Burlington High School, said the inspiration for her solo piece, “Balance Beam,” comes from being black and a Muslim. “It’s hard enough being one color, one person, one identity, imagine being two … This is a young girl telling you that her life isn’t Hannah Montana, it’s not the best of both worlds,” her poem reads. These days, it’s harder being black than Muslim, the 16-year-old said. When she was a freshman at South Burlington High School, she was teased about her skin color. Whenever the lights were dimmed during class, a couple of students would say, “Oh, we can’t see Hawa. Where are you, Hawa?” she recalled. She ignored or laughed along with them as a coping mechanism. But she was annoyed and felt hurt. “I thought we had passed this point. I guess it’s still there,” she said. The experience of black Muslims is an issue that’s being increasingly discussed in Muslim communities. Although Islam preaches equality, racial divisions remain a grim reality. Aden noticed that African women at the Islamic Society of Vermont’s mosque in Colchester are often tasked with babysitting and cleaning duties. “It’s very low-key, and it’s not happening to other minority groups,” she said. The African women continue to do these jobs because they want to be involved in community events. “Hearing comments like, ‘If you ever need a babysitter or your house cleaned, just call one of the Somalis’ used so lightly in discussions among the women is very disturbing,” Aden said. The Muslim women with whom I spoke are trying to work and get an education, while taking care of their families in the best way they can. As the slam poets say in their breakout poem, “Wake Up, America”: “We are the advocates, award winners, the bilinguals … We are the 4.0 students, honor roll students, the star athletes — but we are also the misunderstood.” mMICHAEL TONN

Nothing Bulle has experienced in the U.S., including Ahmed’s struggles, could have prepared her for Kochalian. A few hours after the incident on North Champlain Street, the police identified and arrested him at his home on Murray Street. They didn’t find any weapon. A witness, Susan Loyer, said Kochalian was carrying a black plastic bag, but Bulle insisted that Kochalian had a gun. Regardless, the incident triggered memories of her previous traumatic incidents. She continues to suffer from the effects of these experiences, including sleepless nights, the dull ache in her injured right arm and the fear that someone might break into her house. In his affidavit, Burlington Police Officer Derek Hodges wrote, “Based on the current political and social climate, I believe that Kochalian’s statement about Bulle being a terrorist was based on Bulle’s race, ethnicity or religion.” As a result, Kochalian, who has an extensive criminal history in Vermont, was

charged with aggravated disorderly conduct with a hate crime enhancement. As of June 6, he was being held at the Brattleboro Retreat, where he’s undergone an inpatient evaluation and been declared incompetent to stand trial. Bulle has tried to put the incident behind her, and she continues to visit the Old North End. But recently she had a similar experience in Williston, where someone outside the Hannaford supermarket called her a “terrorist.” This time, she simply walked away. “People judge me without knowing me first,” she said, adding, “It hurts my feeling.” Even within the safe confines of the mosque that she attends, Bulle said she faces discrimination based on her skin color. Bulle doesn’t hesitate to clean the toilets of the mosque if she happens to find them in need of attention. But that willingness has led other, lighterskinned Muslims to assume she’d work as a house cleaner. They’ve offered her jobs. Her reaction: “I’ve never been a maid my entire life. Why would I be a maid in America?” Besides the dream of opening her own dress shop, Bulle is considering a master’s degree program in mental health so she can one day open her own counseling clinic. It couldn’t be as hard as getting her undergraduate degree turned out to be. Bulle had to quit her job as an interpreter and find a new one because her working hours weren’t flexible enough to allow her to return to school. At one point, she was so broke she couldn’t afford to buy diapers for her son. She remembers crying in her car because she couldn’t find childcare while she attended classes at Champlain College. In 2012, she transferred to Burlington College because she was allowed take Ahmed, who was then 3, to class with her. Bulle values education in part because her mother benefited from it. It’s easy to imagine the elder Bulle, with whom Fatuma reunited in Africa six years ago, posing the same rhetorical question to young women that her daughter does: “Don’t they want to achieve their goals and succeed?” Bulle said she was encouraged to run for mayor in the city of Winooski. But she has grander ambitions. She’s interested in changing the face of Vermont politics. As the state becomes more ethnically diverse, Bulle thinks it’s important for minority women, Somali and Muslims to have political representation. “I want to see myself at the Statehouse,” she said. m

Dear Old Dad Fathers reflect on having children later in life S TO RY BY ER IK ESCKILSE N PH O TO S BY M AT T HEW THORSEN

n my 51 years of life, I have accomplished exactly two noteworthy physical feats. In May 2009, I completed the Vermont City Marathon. Later that year, I became the father of twin girls. As I crossed the finish line on race day, I was excited to be joining two elite societies: that special club of people eager to tell you, unprompted, that they’ve run a marathon (never mind my time); and the fraternity of old dads. By “old,” I mean dads well past the average age of first-time fathers, which is 27.4, according to the U.S. data from the National Center for Family & Marriage Research at Ohio’s Bowling Green State University. On the day my kids were born, I was 45, a number that many studies of first-time fathers don’t even include in their samples.

Stearns Bercaw. Nicholls’ successful career in the entertainment business once required long stretches of time away from home. His fatherhood sequel is all about being more present in David’s upbringing. “I was an absentee father. I was ‘Uncle Daddy.’ I’d see them as much as I could, but I was away a lot,” Nicholls says. “I think I really lucked out because I was in a position, later in my life, to just say, ‘Hey, wait. I don’t have to be a freelancer. Maybe I can get a job.’ And I did … I’m much more settled, by choice. I said, ‘OK, I’m getting a second act. Let’s see what I can do.’” Wheeler also looks back on his first go at fatherhood and sees a work-life imbalance that he doesn’t want to repeat. There’s little chance of that today, since he’s a stay-at-home dad. “With my first set of kids, my recollection is just doing it,” Wheeler says of how he juggled parenthood with his career as a chemistry professor and researcher. “Now, to me, it feels more like a growth challenge on everybody’s part — theirs and mine,” he says. “I find laughter comes easier, and it’s easier for me to shake things off, which I think makes family life more fun.”

Second Acts A benefit of being an older dad is the chance to improve his parenting the second time around, says Wheeler. South Burlington resident Allan Nicholls, 71, would agree. The filmmaker, actor, musician and teacher has two adult sons from his first marriage and a 12-yearold son, David, from his second to author Nancy

out with young moms at play dates and kids’ events. You should be dancing in a club and staying up all night, he sometimes thinks, but instead, we’re here talking about parenting. Michael Wheeler, 64, a dad and granddad in Milton, has the unusual experience of having grandkids who are close in age to his kids from a second marriage — Emmy, 8, and Elliot, 4 1/2. He describes it as a “tricky” situation. “In my mind, a grandparent’s job is just to be nice and spoil their grandkids, but here they are playing with my own children,” he says, recalling a multigenerational gathering over the winter holidays. “I’m not sure I handled it right at all … The kids are sort of colluding and plotting together. So that was definitely interesting.”

One of my closest old-dad kin is Erik Kaarla — and not just because we share a first name and Nordic lineage. He and I were born within a few weeks of each other. Kaarla, who lives in Colchester, is a professor at a couple of area colleges, including Champlain College, where I also teach. And he has 7-year-old twins. However, his hair hasn’t turned the color of pencil lead, like mine has, so he’s not often mistaken for his kids’ grandfather. Despite his youthful visage and proclivities — he teaches tennis, guitar and bass and also plays in a rock band called Third Shift — Kaarla knows that he stands out as an old dad. “When you enter the room and you’re the oldest person, that’s kind of new,” he says, “like I’m supposed to know what I’m doing. I might be the go-to person.” He also occasionally finds it odd to be hanging

When my daughters were born, I knew that parenthood would be a wild and unpredictable ride. The twin thing, I learned from other parents of twins, would complicate the experience in exponentially joyful and challenging ways. So I did some additional homework on that topic. But the old-dad factor? If there was substantial information out there about starting fatherhood so late in life, I missed it. Luckily, I knew a few other elder dads. In them, I’d seen evidence of the possibilities — even benefits — of being so old I’m off the charts.

Live and Learn Kaarla and I are fatherhood newbies compared to Wheeler and Nicholls. But we seem to share a similar appreciation for how much better dads we are today than we would have been in our younger years. In this, we’re kindred spirits with Evzen Holas of Burlington, a 59-year-old father of two daughters — Emma Rose, 7, and Nelly, 4. “I was always kind of selfish. I didn’t want to take care of anybody,” Holas says of his younger self. “So, knowing that I would have a responsibility — that was scaring me. But once I had a kid, I was fine.” “Lots of my friends envy me,” he adds. “They all realize that they would be way better fathers now than when they were young, and they kind of miss it.” Financial stability played a role in Holas’ path to parenthood. He emigrated to the U.S. from the Czech Republic in 1988 and opted out of fatherhood — and, as a result, out of his first marriage. His ambivalence about becoming a father was complicated: Part of it involved his relationship with his first wife; part had to do with his extended family being in Europe; and another part had to do with money. After coming to the U.S., he made a successful living as an illustrator in the Boston area. But the instability of his freelance career made parenthood a road he wasn’t ready to walk. “I made enough for me, but not for kids,” he says. “I didn’t want to be one of those stressed fathers who’s stressed about money.” He shifted his professional focus to construction and, eventually, after moving to Burlington, launched his own tile-work enterprise, E.H. Tile. Once the pieces had fallen into place — including a second marriage to a woman with a solid teaching career — he opened up to the idea of becoming a dad. Kaarla, Holas and I were able to delay parenting until we were ready — and let’s not underestimate the power of love in that process. Even still, the transition to old fatherhood can be jarring for a seasoned bachelor set in his ways. Kaarla recalls a nurse in the maternity ward saying that younger parents, who may be more accustomed to a faster-paced lifestyle, might more easily roll with the chaos of kids. He thinks she was right. “It changes things,” he says. “You have to redo your bookshelves and things. ‘Why are you taking my War and Peace and tearing it up?’” The flip side of that, however, is that an older dad, who has had his fun and paid his heaviest dues in the working

world, is often willing to settle in, without much grumbling, for what may turn out to be one long-ass game of Candy Land.

The Facts of Life We can’t ignore the fact that old dads have the luxury of time. That Holas, Kaarla and I could take our sweet time in becoming dads owes something to our biology. While the country’s average age of first-time motherhood is slowly creeping past 26 years — according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention — women still face the reality of declining fertility in their thirties, especially after 35. Culture at large operates under the assumption that men can father children as long as they’re alive. This is because it’s generally thought that men don’t experience menopause — although it’s a topic of current medical debate.

It’s also because men are designed to produce sperm continually. Yet recent studies suggest that as men age, their fertility also declines. Additionally, their children are at increased risk for various age-related complications — everything from miscarriage and low birth weight to autism, schizophrenia and a disposition toward certain cancers. Some biological changes in older men may actually benefit parenthood. Naturally diminishing testosterone levels can make a man more patient. I imagine this coming in handy when my twin girls become teens. This is not to say that being an old dad is a walk in the park. (If only it were a walk in the park and not an interminable game of freeze tag.) Even active dads like Kaarla admit that the physical feats of fatherhood can be tough. One time, while ambling with his eldest daughter up a shallow, secluded river, Holas came to the

realization that if he were to get injured or have a heart attack, he and his kid would be in deep trouble. The experience inspired him to be more vigilant about his health. He took a doctor’s advice about medication for high cholesterol, he says, and also made lifestyle changes. Wheeler’s not taking any chances either. “I do try to take good care of myself,” he says. “If it’s possible for life decisions to influence the quality and length of time that you have with your kids, then I’m all for that. I’m really obsessed with trying to stay active and fit.”

Frame of Experience The benefits of physical fitness are obvious to any parent who has ever had to carry a sleeping child, or two, up a flight of stairs. Elder dads like Wheeler and Nicholls speak with extra authority about the biggest stuffed elephant in the room: how much of our kids’ lives we’ll live to see. “Statically speaking, my kids are going to end up being without a father sooner than most,” Wheeler says. “But there’s not a whole lot I can do about that, and I don’t want to spend my energy worrying about that … I want to be in the moment and do everything I can to make the moment the best.” The other old dads I know share that in-the-moment outlook — kids have a way of reinforcing that. But we all seem

ost aspiring filmmakers can point to one or two seminal movies that served as their inspiration for pursuing careers in the industry. Harrison Allen of Bethel had a somewhat different motivational experience. “When I was 15, I saw a college filmmaker’s film, and it was really, really bad,” recalls the 18-year-old homeschooled graduating senior. “I thought to myself, I’m pretty sure I can do better than that.” Even before he heads to Emerson College this fall to study television and film, Allen is well on his way to achieving that goal. His entry in this year’s Scout Film Festival in Stowe — a nine-minute live-action drama called “The Yellow Block” — is one of three films nominated for Best Short Made in Vermont. Produced last year on a $200 budget and filmed in Bethel and Randolph, “The Yellow Block” has been an official selection in 17 film festivals and nominated for five awards. Says Allen, “I’m really excited about this festival.” “The Yellow Block” is one of more than 600 entries from 50 countries received by the Scout Film Festival, which launches this year on June 17, reports founder and director Anna Colavito. The three-day fest, whose motto is “Celebrating teen filmmakers through short film,” has assembled for its inaugural year an impressive slate of 129 international films to be screened. All the filmmakers had to be under the age of 18 at the time of their film’s production. “As soon as our submission window opened last November, that very day, we had 26 submissions from three countries,” Colavito says. “And it just sort of blew up from there.” This year’s entries range in length from 30 seconds to 22 minutes, averaging about five minutes. They were produced in a variety of styles and formats: animated shorts, comedies, documentaries, music videos, experimental films and public service announcements. Before launching Scout, Colavito, 42, already knew a thing or two about the challenges of telling short stories visually. She spent 14 years in the advertising world in Boston and New York City before taking a hiatus after 9/11 to work for New York’s Gen Art Film Festival. Six years ago, she and her family relocated to Stowe. There Colavito conceived the idea of a Vermont-based film festival that would focus exclusively on the cinematic visions of teens. Her many professional contacts in the film industry helped spread the word about Scout; teens’ social-media networks did the rest. The festival’s name, Colavito explains, is a nod both to film location scouts and to the child narrator of the 1962 film To Kill a Mockingbird, which was based on the novel by Harper Lee. “Our mission is all about connection,” says Colavito. The impetus for the festival, she explains, was her growing concern about the technology in which kids are immersed these days. She has a 7-year-old son and a 9-year-old daughter. “While access [to technology] is a beautiful thing, it’s also a little bit desensitizing,” Colavito says. “I felt that if we could get these kids together, telling their stories to each other, it would remove a little of that disconnect and reconnect them as a generation.” The films Scout has accepted should put to rest any preconceived notions that adolescents produce only amateurish, unsophisticated or sophomoric works. Among the projects to be screened is a four-and-a-half-minute documentary from Nepal called “Dhartiputra,” created by then-16-year-old Aditya Khadka. Nominated for best documentary, “Dhartiputra” tells the story of

these films, and the beautiful way these teens have been able to express themselves, keep proving their desire to be heard and reconnect with people.” Scout won’t showcase teens’ artistic creations solely in cinematic form. To “get my feet wet” with the festival, Colavito says, she held a logo contest for students in Matt Neckers’ graphic design class at Green Mountain Technology and Career Center in Hyde Park. Colavito says she fell in love with the very first logo she saw, created by Emily Wylie of Hyde Park. “I thought, There’s just no way! It’s like buying the first house you go look at,” she says. “I originally thought I’d have a new logo contest every year, but I love this logo enough to keep it forever.” Students’ artwork will also be featured on the festival’s posters, T-shirts and other merchandise. Adriana Teresa Letorney, who cofounded Stowe-based Visura, an international online platform that connects photographers, editors, journalists and other visual artists, is a founding sponsor of Scout. Letorney now serves on the fest’s board of directors. “We were definitely not expecting over 600 submissions our first year,” she says. “It definitely shows the impact that film and video have today on the lives of teens and the medium they use to communicate.” Judging this year’s submissions was a jury composed of film-industry professionals and others, including Sara Shepard, author of the Pretty Little Liars, The Lying Game and The Perfectionists series. All the winning films have already been selected and will be announced at a red-carpet awards ceremony Saturday night at 8 p.m. at Spruce Peak Performing Arts Center in Stowe. Colavito notes that after her judges began reviewing the films, many immediately emailed or called her to express their amazement with the quality of the productions. “What these kids are able to produce with the smallest video tool is unbelievable,” Colavito adds. “I don’t remember having so many friends doing these types of elaborate projects when I was their age.”

a mother whose 4-month-old son was trapped for 22 hours in the rubble of their collapsed home following Nepal’s April 2015 earthquake. “Ever since [I was] a kid, I had this dream to become a great filmmaker. I often get lost into my world of imagination,” Khadka has told Glocal Khabar, an online publication based in Nepal’s capital, Kathmandu. “Through films, I can present my imagination to everyone. This fills my heart with immense pleasure and joy.” Another film, “Missing Facts,” is one of six nominated in the best horror category. As Colavito explains, it’s a psychological thriller written and directed by Srwsht Abarash, a now-19-year-old Iraqi Kurd whose life has been rocked by years of war, terrorism and violence. “Filmmaking gives me euphoria. With short water and electricity supply in this region, schools and public places keep closing and opening again because of financial [crises],” Abarash writes in his director’s statement. “Filmmaking is my escape [and] is the way forward for me. Without it, I vanish [into] the thin air like a particle.” For Colavito, films such as Abarash’s and Khadka’s reinforce the importance of this medium to youths around the world. “Getting to know these young filmmakers and getting to know their backstories, beyond the films they’ve submitted, just raises the mission of this festival,” she says. “Exposure is really important to them, but it means more than ‘I made a great film.’ Sometimes it’s literally the one thing that keeps them going.” Not all of the submissions tackle weighty or somber subjects. One film, by the festival’s youngest participant — a then-9-year-old American named Cameron Scout Bontrager — is a three-and-a-half-minute PSA called “Friendship,” which includes humorous outtakes by the child actors. Colavito describes it as “an adorable PSA” that’s “really well done and thoughtful.” Such exceptions aside, Colavito has observed big themes cropping up repeatedly in the submissions, including the overuse of technology, gender and sexuality, social acceptance, depression, anxiety, and suicide. One animated short, titled “I’m Afraid,” by Kate Reid of Markham, Ontario, is an illustrated list of sources of teen angst as provided by her high school classmates. It includes fears of dentists, sharks, spiders, boys, the future, intimacy and zombies. “Even the comedies have some sort of underlying social commentary to them,” Colavito notes. “Time and again,

e will inevitably marry the wrong person, according to philosopher Alain de Botton. “Partly, it’s because we have a bewildering array of problems that emerge when we try to get close to others,” he wrote recently in the New York Times. “We seem normal only to those who don’t know us very well. In a wiser, more self-aware society than our own, a standard question on any early dinner date would be: ‘And how are you crazy?’” In Thomas Christopher Greene’s new novel, If I Forget You, a pair of thwarted young lovers, Henry and Margot, each spend 20 years with the wrong person until they find each other again. Margot is still married when they meet in middle age, and Henry is divorced. But the pull and the roar of a love that was abruptly abandoned due to a traumatic event are so strong that she hesitates only briefly, and he hesitates not at all. Will we find out if Henry and Margot have learned the lessons offered by their first marriages? Will we discover how their own “crazy” impacts their burgeoning closeness? No, we will not. Greene’s novel is unabashedly a romance in which the characters’ small, intricate lunacies don’t intrude on true love, if they exist at all. The story begins with Margot and Henry meeting after a long separation, but it ends before anyone ever has to take out the trash. As Botton explains in his essay, feelings of great passion were once viewed as antithetical to marriage. They were the “crazy” that should not be provoked. It was only in the 18th century that the union of feeling, as a potent cultural force, replaced the strategic marriage for which economic and social suitability were the paramount considerations. Since Jane Austen, novelists have fallen roughly into three camps on the subject of long-term love and intimacy: 1. It’s not possible. 2. It’s possible, though complicated to the point of exasperation. 3. It’s possible, but we don’t want to get into the details. If I Forget You falls into the last category. For those who have grown

weary of the novelistic trend, since at least the time of Madame Bovary, of detailing the disintegration of marriages, it will come as a welcome respite. Greene, who is the president of Vermont College of Fine Arts in Montpelier and author of four previous novels, offers an atmospheric novel that combines the classic love affair and the artist’s struggle. Henry meets Margot in college as he is making his first foray into the realm of English literature, where he will eventually establish a career

FROM IF I FORGET YOU For a time that feels like forever, their eyes meet. There is no question now. It is Margot. And in her face he sees that she recognizes him too. Henry starts to walk toward her, and as soon as he does, she gets to her feet and moves into the roiling rush-hour crowd. ‘Margot,’ he shouts, but she doesn’t stop. She climbs into the yellow cab that is first in the line of the yellow cabs. Henry is running now. He is at the window. She looks up at him — those eyes, unchanged, the pale blue of sea glass — and he stretches his hand toward the closed window and the cab lurches out into traffic, merging quickly, a damn sea of yellow cabs, and he tries to keep his eyes on the one that carries her, until he is no longer sure which one it is and a phalanx of them moves up Broadway and out of sight.

as a poet and teacher. From a workingclass family in Providence, he has entered the prestigious school on a de facto baseball scholarship, without the material or cultural privileges of his peers. But he abandons baseball as he is drawn to the arts, and “by the end

of that year, Henry has become the darling of the English Department.” Nevertheless, he remains insecure about his work and his standing. “No one wants to read about the West End of Providence,” he tells a teacher. Greene weaves these threads tightly together: a love story and the struggle to overcome cultural alienation and deprivation. In one of the more poignant passages, a collegebound Henry receives, in the mail, the school’s “facebook” (then the term used to refer to a book of pictures of incoming freshman). “He studies it like a mirror, looking for a reflection of himself.” The love story unfolds in both past and present, each chapter break signaling a shift in time and perspective. What makes their tale unusual in the realm of literary fiction is that neither

Henry nor Margot is marked by any substantive amount of “crazy.” Their renewed intimacy induces no neurotic behavior that might make them more familiar and engaging to the reader. You might ask whether neuroses are really imperative for fictional characters. They are. No one has to go so far as to guzzle arsenic — à la Emma Bovary — but the real obstacle in any true love story is always ourselves.

BOOKS

has no idea what his situation is.” Only a very odd person indeed would fail to consider this point ahead of time, yet this potentially revealing detail goes unexplored. Likewise, Greene’s prose style at times suggests more an outline than a full-fledged work. He writes, for example, that as a student, Margot “marvels at the simplicity of people preparing food, since in her life she has never cooked a thing. Her parents had a chef or they ate out.” While it’s possible that this

young woman has never been involved in food preparation, inside or outside her home, it beggars the imagination. This passage reads more as shorthand meant to convey that Margot is very privileged. Greene does offer some interesting ideas about the connection between loss and creativity. Henry’s voice, his poetry, is indivisible from his love for Margot. The title of the book refers, presumably, to Psalm 137: “If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cunning. If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth.” Without Margot’s existence, in person or in memory, Henry’s writing would cease, his “tongue cleave to the roof ” of his mouth. He keeps her memory alive for 20 years by merging his art and his love for her, and in certain hypnotic passages (see excerpt on the opposite page), Greene makes the reader feel the depth of that obsession. If I Forget You is a novel that aims squarely at the feeling of longing and being loved intensely.

The central impediment to romance in Greene’s novel, by contrast, is an opaque, nefarious external force that will remind readers of the archetypal marriage melodramas of the 19th century. When we meet Margot in midlife, it’s true that she is somewhat dysthymic, with an absentee husband and a lack of connection to others, but she is generally sober and balanced enough. Henry likewise seems quite stable, despite his divorce, which remains firmly in the past and seldom intrudes on his present life. He’s aware that he has “turned his back to Ruth,” his ex-wife, and so is somewhat to blame. But we get very little detail about why Henry turned away from Ruth or why “he had married the wrong woman” in the first place, given that “he knew it even before that rainy day in late May when they went to city hall.” In his relationship with Margot, it’s hard to find any crazy at all. Margot goes so far, once, as to drink half a bottle of wine, and Henry participates in one brief brawl. Even so, the novel exhibits an intriguing shortage of death, dirt, sex, violence or the maddening minutiae that make up the majority of existence. When Margot drives into Manhattan in an unplanned, unannounced attempt to see Henry, it suddenly “occurs to her that she has been assuming for some reason he is not married, when, in fact, she

Summer of Suds Sampling seven warm-weather beers from beyond the beaten path B Y HA NNA H PAL M E R EGAN

h, summer. It’s a season for drinking outside, in the sun (or the half-frozen rain); for session-sipping brews at lively weekend barbecues, in a canoe or at the beach. Such circumstances demand a few things of a beer. In color, texture and body, summer brews should be thirst slaking and lightweight enough to drink quickly, while they’re still cold. Which means lower-alcohol beers that won’t send you under the table after a single pint. In short, the kind of beers that beer writers, connoisseurs and other pundits have predicted will dominate the market every summer for the past several years. But will 2016 go down as the summer when brewers actually trended toward low-ABV “session beers” — or sours or “yellow fizzy” beers? Maybe. Several weeks ago, this writer set out to get a pulse on this season’s offerings, but not from the big production breweries that stock every beer cooler and draft list statewide. Instead, this list skews east of the Green Mountains, toward tiny, newish breweries with limited production and virtually no distribution — in short, toward outlets that many Seven Days readers in Chittenden County and northwestern Vermont have yet to sample. Why? Because it’s always a good idea to look local (in this case, super local) when seeking a sense of regional and national trends — and because summer is when grassroots dig deepest. And because summer is also, truly, the finest time for beer lovers to hit the road in search of liquid sustenance. So here are seven brand-new Vermont brews that may just be worth traveling for.

menu will be simple: three brewed coffees, three kinds of espresso and the option of mixing shots with steamed milk. “The idea is to get away from the focus on milk and espresso recipes,” Gonzalez says. Beans will come from roasters around the country. The opening menu includes three offerings from Michigan’s Madcap Coffee and three from Burlington’s Brio Coffeeworks (one each Untitled-32 from Rwanda, Ethiopia and Untitled-19 Costa Rica). Because of the emphasis on terroir, medium and dark roasts are verboten at Onyx; a lighter roast is needed to allow subtle differences, such as fruity notes, to shine through. Onyx Tonics will open on Monday, June 20, at 126 College Street, the building that is also home to BISTRO DE MARGOT and VIN BAR & SHOP, and will operate every day but Sunday. As-yet-unnamed local bakers will provide pastries. While Gonzalez’s zeal for the intricacies of flavor is palpable, he says he wants to create a space that’s welcoming and unpretentious. “I want to avoid the coffee snobbery trope,” he says. “I want to be earnest and honest about it.”

Sometimes South Burlington’s loss is the Queen City’s gain. After an “amicable” parting-of-ways with former business partner BRIAN STONE last summer, GROWLER GARAGE owner LIAM O’FARRELL shuttered his Dorset Street brew shop this spring. But the closure wasn’t permanent. In fact, O’Farrell had just signed a lease for the airy corner storefront at 30 Main Street in Burlington, most recently home to Noonie’s Deli, which closed in March. At its new location, Growler Garage will offer 24 local, national and imported draft beers, with two lines dedicated to nitro pours. All will be available for on-site sipping (indoors or out), and drinkers will be able to take most home in growlers, crowlers and 32-ounce “howlers.” GG’s beers will flow through a high-tech draft system (similar to the one at BEVERAGE WAREHOUSE’s newly minted filling bar in Winooski), which operates much like a brewery bottling line and fills bottles without exposing the beer to air. The setup increases growler shelf life from five to 10 days to two weeks or more. But the real fun will happen on-site. In addition to offering full pints and flights, the new shop will

feature a handful of games, including a 22-foot shuffleboard, Ping-Pong table, dartboards and a cornhole set. O’Farrell is working on permitting for live music, and plans to get a pub-food program up and running later this summer. “Our No. 1 complaint in South Burlington was that we didn’t have food,” the owner says, though he’s keeping mum on menu details for now. “We want to get open and get the beer flowing,” O’Farrell says. Pending final permitting, a soft opening could come as early as this weekend, and O’Farrell says he’s ready to bring something fresh to Burlington’s downtown and waterfront districts. “There’s so much fun stuff that goes on at the waterfront in summer,” the owner notes. “And we’re one street away.”

Mouthfeel is rich and silky, and wet hay-field aromas linger toward the finish, with a dank, resiny underbelly and just a touch of cowpasture funk.

Decided Funk #1 (American wild ale, 7.7 percent ABV), Foley Brothers Brewing, Brandon facebook.com/ foleybrothersbrewing

Brewed one year ago, Decided Funk is the first in a new series of wildfermented sour ales from brothers Dan and Patrick Foley. Fermented clean, then poured into French oak barrels once used to store sauvignon blanc, Decided Funk slowly went sour as ambient native Lactobacillus bacteria worked their magic on the beer. Many moons later, the resulting brew is crystalline golden yellow with a nose of straw and lemons. Straightforward and fun, it’s an intro-level sour, offering a quickening, tart kick and clean finish, and not too intense. This is the first of many “Decided”-ly funky brews from the Foleys. Just days ago, the brewers bottled Decided Funk #2 — a pinkish beer conditioned on black currants from their family’s Neshobe River Winery — which Patrick Foley says they’ll release in late summer or fall.

Golden Dog (Czech pilsner, 5.5 percent ABV), Brocklebank Craft Brewing, Tunbridge. brocklebankvt.com

One of the many running jokes among brewers is that, given how much time they spend cleaning and piping liquid from one tank to another, their

job most resembles that of a plumber or janitor. In Tunbridge, Brocklebank ownerbrewer Ben Linehan is a master plumber by trade. But weekends find him and his wife, Anne, in their hill-farm brewery tasting room, where they pour samples and growlers of their easydrinking, rustic ales, mainly to locals. They also frequent farmers markets in Chelsea and Norwich, where this mild, pilsner-style, “well-mannered ale” — all bready malt and sparkling bubbles from start to finish — is a crowd favorite.

Fruit Revival

Raspberry Wit (witbier, 5 percent ABV), Saint J Brewery, St. Johnsbury. saintjbrewery.com

Most IPAs contain approximately zero fruit. But, with new hops varieties lending saturated notes of grapefruit, passionfruit and melon to modern ales, people often describe beers in unabashedly juicy terms. Hopheads are drinking that Kool-Aid with unprecedented thirst, even as fruit-conditioned farmhouse ales and citrusy sour beers claim an increasing market share. All of this seems to indicate drinkers’ awakening appreciation for a long-loathed scapegoat: fruit beer. After having placed Blackbeary Wheat in hibernation in 2014, Long Trail Brewing Company started selling cans of its berry beer again by popular request this spring. And two weeks ago, newcomer Saint J Brewery (which opened inside the Green Mountain Mall in February) tapped Raspberry Wit, a barely cloudy, peachy-colored beer that smacks of a throwback brew if this writer ever tasted one. With red raspberries on the nose and a frothy, lingering head, Wit is straight and light, crystal-clean and crisp — an enviable beer for breakfast or other forms of day drinking. Can’t find it? Try Idletyme Brewing Company’s blueberry hefeweizen — another berry-tinged wheat beer now available in bottles and on draft.

Hops ’Til You Drop

First Drop (American pale ale, 5.7 percent ABV), Upper Pass Beer, Tunbridge. upperpassbeer.com

Since releasing their first brew last fall, Upper Pass brewers Andrew Puchalik, Chris Perry and Ivan Tomek have kept distribution hyper-local; it’s rare to find their kegs outside the Upper Valley. Such are the limitations of brewing on a tiny, one-barrel system: Servicing more accounts would require new equipment or more hours in the day. In April, however, Upper Pass teamed up with JP Williams at von Trapp Brewing. The four brewers cooked 50 barrels of dank, resiny pale ale, and, by late May, that beer went statewide at several restaurants, including Waterbury’s Blackback Pub and Burlington’s Farmhouse Tap & Grill. Called First Drop, the brew is pale amber and drips with hops from nose to finish. Round but light in the mouth, it offers subtle fruit and piney greens and packs dense flavor at a moderate booze level. It’s uplifting rather than weighty.

ROUND BUT LIGHT IN THE MOUTH,

IT OFFERS SUBTLE FRUIT AND PINEY GREENS, AND PACKS DENSE FLAVOR AT A MODERATE BOOZE LEVEL.

Three Stars

Orion (kölsch, 5.4 percent ABV), Red Barn Brewing, Danville. redbarnbrewingvt.com

More than one beer writer has recently argued that “fizzy yellow” beers — light, bubbly ales and lagers, in the style of familiar mass-market brews such as Budweiser, Heineken and Stella Artois — are ripe for a turn in craft brewers’ kettles. Accordingly, in the past few years, Vermont breweries, including Richmond’s Stone Corral Brewery, Burlington’s Simple Roots Brewing and Stowe’s von Trapp Brewing, have worked kölsches and pilsners in their rotations. The variety continues

to surge with each season. When Red Barn Brewing opened in Danville in early June, brewer Peter McAlenney’s first-round drafts included a classic German-style ale made with pilsner malt and cool noble hops. Something of an ale treated as a lager, the beer has a pared-down, direct style that leaves little room for error — there’s no hiding flaws behind heady hops or rich malt. McAlenney says he doesn’t often aspire to hops-forward glory, however. Instead, he seeks balance and drinkability in his creations, and in this category his crisp, crystal-clear Orion kölsch earns high marks. Can’t cruise to Danville for a taste? Give Rock Art Brewery’s Bohemian Pilsner a swirl; it just came out in cans a few weeks ago.

Citrus Gone Wild

Orange Dot (wild ale, 6.5 percent ABV), House of Fermentology, Burlington

I’ll dare any reader to find a summer sipper more refreshing than House of Fermentology’s first release. Orange Dot opens with a waft of juice and tang, followed by mouthwatering orange, light malts and a clean lactic-acid finish. It’s the kind of exhilarating thirst quencher you’ll want to savor and gulp, if only both were possible at once. The beer is the work of the HoF coowners: Todd Haire and former state legislator Bill Mares, an author, brewer and beekeeper whom you may have heard giving commentary on Vermont Public Radio. Brewed last fall, then wild-fermented in barrels with ripe cara cara oranges and Mares’ wildflower honey, Orange Dot enjoyed a brief moment on draft at Burlington’s Foam Brewers (another of Haire’s projects) before selling out. So it’s not available right now now, but Haire and Mares plan to release a bottle-conditioned run of the beer at Foam Brewers this Friday, June 17, along with drafts of HoF’s sour raspberry-infused Pink Dot golden ale.

CALEB KENNA

t’s 10 a.m. at the Diner in Middlebury. A waitress arrives at Rocket’s table carrying a strawberry milkshake and a plate of loaded home fries. Rocket carefully positions his milkshake next to the still-steaming platter, a shock of pink beside the heap of fried potatoes, bacon, caramelized onions, melted cheddar and two poached eggs. Instead of reaching for his fork, this patron fishes for his camera. Then he climbs on a chair to take a top-down photo of his breakfast. “I need to shoot a picture that’ll make people hungry,” says Rocket, 24, as he hovers over the table. “Sweet and salty are the easiest ways to do that — those tastes are craved any time of day.” It’s part of Rocket’s job — and, yes, that’s his legal name — to pique a person’s interest, and appetite, from a photo of food or drink. As the creator of the Instagram account @eatvt, or Eat Vermont, the Middlebury-based photographer and videographer travels the state to restaurants, bars, cafés and culinary artisans to snap pictures of the various edibles provided. Rocket then uploads the image to Eat Vermont and supplies a brief caption. Sometimes he describes free-food deals, daily raffles or house specialties to spark an influx of business — both for him and the venue pictured. Although, as Rocket states, “I haven’t made a dime from Eat Vermont. I’ve saved money in the fact that I’ve bartered for food, and I’ve found work as a freelance photographer. But, so far, there’s no monetary gain.” Rocket decided to let @eatvt build its repertoire and cultivate a following before charging artisans and restaurants to grab a spot on the account’s daily lineup. Developing a system of fair pay, however, is the end goal. “People spend a lot of money on print marketing, and returns are hard to track. With [Instagram], I can give you an idea of how many people are exposed to the content, where they are coming from and how much response you’re getting for your dollar.” Since its launch in January, @eatvt has steadily gained in popularity — at last count it had 6,656 followers. An extensive list of local food and drink businesses, mainly in Addison and

Rocket

Chittenden counties, are displayed in the scroll of photographs on the Eat Vermont feed. And as an online mobile service for sharing photos and videos across one’s social network, Instagram is more about the image than the words. “Instagram is mostly visual,” Rocket says, “and a picture is the closest thing you can get to food without being there yourself.” To Rocket, good social media content isn’t just a factor of point-and-shoot camerawork enhanced by Instagram

filters. Lighting and focus — “two main things most people screw up” — are his first photo requisites. When shooting food and drink, Rocket looks for bright, natural lighting and uses filters sparingly. “A lot of people will add color tones to their Instagram images,” he says. “I mean, I can still see your bacon through a Gingham filter, but who wants to eat off-white bacon?” Which images make followers drool? Rocket breaks it down simply:

Indulgence more readily catches the eye. Salads, he explains, might look beautiful and colorful, but they don’t make you hungriest; they aren’t as crave-worthy as something palpably decadent. A bag of doughnuts, says Rocket, is a different story. Images that cause a visceral reaction will inspire his followers to seek out the subject in real life. Rocket might take a bite of the food before snapping the photo, a move meant to imply the intimacy of interaction. For images that don’t qualify as “food porn,” context is critical. “By ‘food porn,’ I mean an emotional or physical reaction to food,” Rocket explains. “That’s harder with something like beer — there’s no obvious taste or smell or texture. The picture is a colored liquid in a glass.” So beer must be put into context to make it desirable — to “give it life,” in Rocket’s words. A glass of beer is better photographed as someone brings it up for a sip, or as the focal point of a table crowded with friends. “If there’s evidence of human life around an image, it makes it more relatable,” he explains. “A static shot can be beautiful, but [with Eat Vermont] I’m going for relatable, not beautiful.” The growing popularity of Rocket’s Instagram account suggests that these incentives work. A second account, entered with his given name, Ryan Kim, targets a national audience with the title America’s Best Friend. This one, described as his way of “celebrating everyday life in the USA,” has more than 18,200 followers. “I often get misinterpreted as trying to sell social media services when I’m not,” says Rocket as he starts to eat his loaded home fries. “I’m trying to build a platform that everyone can profit from. As [Eat Vermont] gets bigger, it can benefit a huge community of people. Restaurants, farmers, visitors, locals … I love that engagement.” One example: On May 16, Rocket pitched a raffle idea to Folino’s Pizza in Shelburne — “Tag two friends for the chance to win a large pizza!” Folino’s would front the cost of the free pizza, and the restaurant’s exposure on Eat Vermont would, in theory, spark their sales. That raffle pitch, paired with a photo of eager hands grabbing slices of

Advertising in print is not a bad thing, it’s just a bit dated. Eat Vermont is about capturing the Vermont food world in a more modern way.” Yet the older and more traditional side of the food spectrum also inspires Rocket. That’s why he enjoys eating at diners like the one in Middlebury. Ultimately, though, he’ll share his milkshake and home fries in a most contemporary way: through an uploaded image, a quick caption and a collection of likes. m

Folino’s pie, got more than 100 comments and 300 likes within the day. “These partnerships go beyond Instagram,” says Rocket. To him, social media is just the starting point. What drives him to keep his account running, he emphasizes, is the human interaction and community culture built around the Vermont food world. “It feels good in your bones to see where your food comes from,” says Rocket. “People call it ‘farm to table,’ but, like ‘food porn,’ that’s just a term. What Vermont does is something beyond that. “Vermont is such a beautiful state, and such a demographically mixed state,” he continues. “It’s impossible to avoid bumping shoulders with someone who produces food.” Rocket clarifies that these people don’t have to be farmers or small business owners — they’re

Summer will be over before we know it, but, while it’s impossible to make time stand still, turning back the clock is a whole different matter. The annual Vermont History Expo is a gateway to the days of buggies and bonnets, homespun clothes and hearthside stories. More than 150 historical organizations from around the state provide portals into the past with exhibits and lectures, and musicians, crafters and artisans bring the sights and sounds of yore to the fore. The time travel continues with heirloom animal breed exhibits, and talks by authors and genealogists, all of which make for an experience as educational as it is enticing.

JUN.18 & 19 FAIRS & FESTIVALS

VERMONT HISTORY EXPO Saturday, June 18, and Sunday, June 19, at Tunbridge World’s Fairgrounds. $510; $20 family pass; free for kids 5 and under; half-price for visitors in period dress. Info, 828-2180. vermonthistory.org

Passionate Pipes “Well, you could have been anything that you wanted to,” Rita Coolidge sings in her 1977 cover of the Temptations staple, “The Way You Do the Things You Do.” And it’s true — Coolidge could have been anything that she wanted to. Or, at least, she could sing any way she wanted to. The Tennessee native, who began her rise to fame as a backup singer for the likes of Eric Clapton, Stephen Stills and Dave Mason, can move melodies through many genres, from soul to R&B. But it wasn’t until her breakout album in 1977, Anytime…Anywhere, that the songstress of Cherokee descent achieved star status. Now, with her biography Delta Lady: A Memoir fresh off the press, Coolidge is on the road again. Tune in for her performance in Stowe this Friday.

AN EVENING WITH RITA COOLIDGE Friday, June 17, 8 p.m. at Spruce Peak Performing Arts Center in Stowe. $2055. Info, 760-4634. sprucepeakarts.org

Fruits of the Vine

As Goethe once said, “Wine rejoices the heart of man and joy is the mother of all virtues.” The saying couldn’t be more apropos in Vermont than during the Burlington Wine & Food Festival. The preliminary events, many of them intimate gatherings with prestigious vintners at area restaurants, have been happening all week. But on Saturday the Grand Tasting will take over the Burlington waterfront, offering seminars with winemakers and sips of more than 300 wines. Rounding out the event, specialty treats from restaurants including Misery Loves Co. and Hen of the Wood, as well as north-of-the-border all-star chef Charles-Emmanuel Pariseau (winner of “Chopped Canada”), ensure that patrons stay sated and happy.

BURLINGTON WINE & FOOD FESTIVAL GRAND TASTING Saturday, June 18, noon-3:30 p.m. (SOLD OUT), and 5-8:30 p.m. at Waterfront Park in Burlington. $60-70. Info, info@ burlingtonwineandfoodfestival.com. burlingtonwineandfoodfestival.com

MOUNTAIN MEDITATIONS

JUN.16-19 | FAIRS & FESTIVALS

Not all those who wander are lost — at least not at Wanderlust. The international mind-and-body fest, which comes to Stratton Mountain Resort this weekend, offers seekers a treasure trove of restorative experiences centered on yogic practice. From traditional vinyasa flows to newer incarnations such as Aerial Yoga and AcroYoga, there’s something for practitioners of every level. While stretch sessions and group hikes stimulate the body, guided meditations and lectures on topics ranging from progressive politics to personal empowerment feed the mind. Of course, it wouldn’t be a festival without music, and Wanderlust is no exception; a lineup featuring Michael Franti, Karsh Kale and Francesca Blanchard keeps bodies moving off the mats.

B Y D AN BOL L ES

here is quiet humility in the songs of Boulder, Colo.’s Gregory Alan Isakov. With his sweet, hushed vocal delivery and evocative lyricism, he’s struck on an intimate formula that has endeared him to fans and critics around the globe. On his recently released album, Gregory Alan Isakov with the Colorado Symphony Orchestra, the South African-born songwriter gives his songs a broader majesty. They were recorded with the CSO at the Boettcher Concert Hall in Denver and at Starling Farm, the small farm he owns and runs in Boulder. The material is from Isakov’s four previous albums, reworked for orchestra by DeVotchKa’s Tom Hagerman and Jump Little Children’s Jay Clifford. It is a beautiful, sweeping work, as poignant as it is dynamic. Isakov is presently on a national symphonic tour, during which he’ll play with the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, the Philadelphia Youth Orchestra, the National Symphony Orchestra and the Vermont Symphony Orchestra. The last performance comes on Monday, June 20, at the Flynn MainStage in Burlington. Ahead of that show, Seven Days spoke with Isakov by phone.

SEVEN DAYS: So it turns out you and I have a mutual friend, Rachel Ries. GREGORY ALAN ISAKOV: Oh, I love Rachel! SD: She’s great. My sister used to play bass with her, which is how I know her. GAI: Yeah, I’ve totally met her, too. She’s a badass. So you’re in Burlington, right? I love that town. SD: It’s a great place. A lot like Boulder, or so I’m often told. I guess the guy who designed our Church Street designed your Pearl Street. GAI: Yeah. The towns do feel pretty similar. Except we don’t have that badass giant church at the top of ours. SD: A giant pearl, maybe? GAI: We have a giant mountain, I guess. SD: Yeah, your mountains are a little bigger than ours. So, you’re touring and playing with different symphonies around the country. How did you go about reworking your songs for orchestra? GAI: It was just sort of an experiment. We did a few shows with the Colorado Symphony Orchestra. When we played the first one, it was just mind-blowingly fun. It was overwhelming and beautiful. So we did

three shows with the CSO, then made some changes to the arrangements and did a show with the Seattle Symphony and the Oregon Symphony. We were working on an album, and we recorded all the shows and all the rehearsals. And we found that we really loved the sound of the empty room at Boettcher Hall. So we recorded with the CSO for two days. Then we came back to the farm and did some overdubs, Rhodes, backup vocals and, well, we call them “God noises.” SD: God noises? Are those ambient sounds, like birds chirping or floorboards creaking? GAI: Yeah. We work a lot finding sounds. And the sole purpose is for them to be just slightly undiscernible and make you feel something. We use those a lot in our records. SD: What’s the biggest challenge working with an orchestra? GAI: We usually don’t play with a drum kit, so there is this really loose sense of time that happens, where the symphony is like half a second behind you, then you’re ahead, then you’re behind. And it turns into USE YOUR WORDS

you’re jazzed out, maybe try to mellow your vibes with the Ziontific Summer Solstice Music Festival in Woodford. The threeday festival runs Friday to Monday, June 17 to 20, and features a massive lineup of reggae, funk and hip-hop. Some names to know include SPIRITUAL REZ, the ALCHEMYSTICS, ROOTS OF CREATION, FEAR NUTTIN’ BAND, ILL DOOTS, the PROBLEMADDICTS and locals BLESS THE CHILD, among many others. I’m also told there is a silent disco. So if you crave the festival experience without any of the social interaction, that’s your jam right there, weirdo. Check out ziontificproductions.com for more. Moving on, the Rattling Brook Bluegrass Festival in Belvidere is believed to be the longest-running bluegrass hoedown in Vermont. At 33, it’s quite possibly the state’s longestrunning music festival, period. The one-day downhome picking party is this Saturday, June 18, and features locals BLUEGRASS REVISITED, MAD MOUNTAIN

This year’s headliner is up-and-coming guitarist FREDDIE BRYANT, whom jazz guitar giant KENNY BURRELL calls a “brilliant young guitarist and composer.” Bryant has shared the stage or recorded with some big names, including WYNTON MARSALIS, BRAD MEHLDAU, DEE DEE BRIDGEWATER, MAX ROACH and LONNIE SMITH, to namedrop a few.

distinctive charms. Just to put a few of the bigger ones on your collective Google Calendar: There’s the Frendly Gathering in Windham (June 23-25). There’s SolarFest in Manchester (July 15 and 16). There’s the Lake Champlain Maritime Festival in Burlington (July 28-31). There’s Grand Point North (September 17 and 18). We’ll be digging into all of those and more as the summer progresses — look for Frendly coverage next week, in fact. But that doesn’t do you much good right now. So here’s a look at some of events in the near future that should help steady your jazz-fest DTs. I’m an ardent proponent of hair of the dog. So, what better way to cure a jazz hangover than with more jazz? I give you the fifth annual Hartland JazzFest in the Upper Valley hamlet of Hartland on Saturday, June 18.

The final curtain fell on the 2016 Burlington Discover Jazz Festival this past Sunday, June 12, closing yet another spectacular 10 days of jazz hands in Burlington. And the highlights were plentiful: RANDY NEWMAN tickling ivories and funny bones at the Flynn, BARIKA’s searing set at Nectar’s, NICO SUAVE’s supremely bodacious treatment of LED ZEPPLIN at Radio Bean, MADAILA being, well, Madaila on Church Street. I could go on. But, as is so often the case with Vermont’s biggest music festival, my favorite part was simply wandering the town, popping in and out of clubs and bars and sampling the always-electric scene. The city never feels quite so vibrant as it does during jazz fest — even when it rains. And so, as we tie a bow on this year’s BDJF, I feel a gnawing emptiness. Like BOYZ II MEN so sagely put it, “It’s so haaaaaard to say goodbyyyyyyye to yesterday.” And also to jazz festivals. I imagine a number of you are in a similar emotional state right now. Without a massive, citywide festival at hand, how do we fill the void? With more festivals, that’s how. I’m not 100 percent sure if we are at peak festival in Vermont quite yet. But we’re close. Every weekend from now until Labor Day, the calendar is packed with interesting local festivals large and small. They’re not on par with the BDJF — what is? But there are a lot of ’em.

SD: So the first time you heard your music through this massive wall of sound, what was your reaction? I’m guessing something along the lines of “Holy shit.” GAI: Yup. A gigantic, all-capitals “HOLY SHIT.” I don’t even really know how to describe it. Especially getting to play in these rooms that are built, acoustically, for an orchestra. And it’s mind-blowing to be around musicians that are so dedicated to their craft like that. We come from different schools or different spaces in music. So all of us collaborating was really great. SD: It must have been intimidating. I mean, to get to the level of a professional orchestra, those players have probably been training their entire lives. GAI: Dude, yeah. Like, the first time, we all hobble out onstage, and there are these really well-dressed musicians with perfect posture, you know?

SD: Where did your interest in farming come from? GAI: I dropped out of high school and hiked the Appalachian Trail or, like, half of it. And I think that’s kind of when it happened for me. It was an eye-opening experience, falling in love with plants. I was talking with a friend about this the other day. We’re growing medical cannabis out here in Colorado now for a few patients. I don’t really smoke weed that much anymore. But when I was in high school, all I wanted to do was grow weed in my closet. And I was like, “It was totally a gateway drug to gardening!” I had, like, the little pots and grow lights, trying to hide it from my parents. Then I was like, “I’m gonna try corn.” So I think that’s how I initially got into it. Then it just developed more and more, and now I just really love working with plants. SD: I read that you keep a list of words you have banned yourself from using in songs. Can you share a couple of them? GAI: My brother calls me all the time, and he’s like, “How’s your new song? Is it called ‘Red Dust Moon Suitcase’ or something?” And I’m like [bratty voice], “No. I’m not using those words anymore.” I just really like sad songs about space. And there are just some words that sing so well. SD: I can identify with falling into word ruts. Like, “Dude, you can’t refer to every song you write about as angular or cinematic or lush.” GAI: In school, I remember writing papers, and it would get so redundant, because you’re writing about soil and “in the garden” was everywhere on every paper. I write a lot. Every day. And some words really do just sing. I put postcards on our rider for every show. And I fill them out, which is my little practice every day. It’s nice because it’s not a lot of space, and I’ll remember the town I wrote it in. Some lines end up being worthy of a song. But a lot of it is just kind of clocking in and keeping that part of myself alive. m

my favorite band name of the week! — the FOUR HOARSE MEN. You can find RBBF on Facebook for more details. Meanwhile, Bristol hosts the seventh annual Pocock Rocks Music Festival & Street Fair. Why Pocock, you ask? Because in 1762 the town was founded as Pocock, named after a British admiral — who presumably had a really tough time in grade school. It was (thankfully) changed to Bristol 25 years later. Anyway, the daylong festival features a great local lineup, including the MICHELE FAY BAND, AARON FLINN, RICHARD RUANE AND BETH DUQUETTE, RICK REDINGTON with HEATHER LYNNE AND BECCA KODIS, the STARLINE RHYTHM BOYS, the BIG BASIN BAND and DADDY LONG LEGS — see the review of that last band’s new CD on page 69. In the evening, local country crooners LOWELL THOMPSON and KELLY RAVIN play the fest after-party at Bristol watering hole Hatch 31. Last but not least: Plattsburgh! I know, I know. Since my exposé on Plattsburgh nightlife a few years back [“Things to Do in Plattsburgh When You’re Drunk,” July 27, 2011], I’m still persona non grata on that side of the lake. But I’d really like to go back sometime. Because, don’t look now, but a nifty little indie scene is bubbling up in the Lake City. This Saturday, June 18, five P-burgh acts take center stage at North Country Rocks II Music Festival.

REVIEW this REDadmiral, REDadmiral

(SELF-RELEASED, CD, DIGITAL DOWNLOAD)

REDadmiral have been lurking on the margins of the Burlington scene for two years, honing their craft on smaller stages around the city, such as Manhattan Pizza & Pub and, on occasion, the Olde Northender. And theirs is a sound tailor-made for juke joints and dives. Blending the deep-cut eclecticism of album-oriented rock with the scuzzy grit of a garage band, REDadmiral seem well suited to their particular niche in the larger Queen City music scene. But that doesn’t mean they don’t have designs on graduating to a higher level of visibility. The quartet’s self-titled debut album makes a strong case that REDadmiral are ready to do exactly that. The only thing that might prevent them from taking the next step locally is that they don’t boast a particularly hip or sexy sound. That’s not to say it’s a dated sound, necessarily — though an undercurrent of early 1990s altrock runs through the record. Rather, REDadmiral’s offbeat brand of rock

will likely appeal to a specific kind of listener. Opener “East Jabip” is a revved-up blues-rock number whose melody owes a debt to the Knack’s Doug Fieger. Front man Gordon Glover sings with edgy detachment over rumbling bass, crunchy guitars and a chorus of “fa la la” backing vocals at the singsong hook. The rambunctious and bouncy “Bullet” recalls quirky 1990s popsters the Presidents of the United States of America, especially at the chorus: “Oh, you would make a good bullet.” “Drugs & Candy” bears shades of early Cracker in both tone and temperament — it’s cheeky and twangy with just a hint of eye-rolling apathy. “What If” follows and is built on a tumbling riff from lead guitarist John Billingsley. That provides the foundation for multipart vocal harmonies on both the verses and choruses. It’s a high point on the record.

SCOUT FILM FESTIVAL & AWARDS CEREMONY Saturday, June 18

DAN BOLLES

It moves seamlessly into the Scottish second stanza, thanks to Gusakov’s lilting fiddle work and Witten’s piano accents, before morphing into the Irish hornpipe tune that closes the triad. The medley is like a crash course in the shared lineage of Appalachian and Celtic music. The band’s original offerings are equally entertaining. Witten’s “Good Night My Hens” is a tender piano and fiddle tune whose winsome melody is indebted to Aaron Copland. Ceballos’ “Last Days of Autumn” evokes rustcolored landscapes and low sun in its contrapuntal melody, voiced by piano and banjo. Gusakov’s fiddle twists and flits like falling leaves. Immaculately produced and exquisitely performed, Daddy Long Legs is a stirring album that belongs at the top of the rotation for any acoustic music fan in Vermont. Assuming they can find it. Daddy Long Legs by Daddy Long Legs is only available at the band’s shows. Daddy Long Legs play the Pocock Rocks Music Festival & Street Fair in Bristol on Saturday, June 18.

DAN BOLLES

THE BLACK FEATHERS

SEVEN DAYS

The band’s debut is a finely curated collection of traditional tunes and originals, performed with exceptional skill and taste. It’s also a remarkably warm-sounding record, engineered and mixed by Michael Chorney and mastered by Lane Gibson, two of Vermont’s steadier hands behind the recording console. (Again, how has there been no fanfare about this project?) The album opens on a pair of traditional medleys, “Home With the Girls in the Morning/Tam Lin/The Home Ruler” and “Charcoal Man/ St. Patrick’s Day.” Each highlights the players’ distinctive talents. On the former, Ceballos’ plucky banjo sets a moody Appalachian tone in the opening segment.

As local supergroups go, Daddy Long Legs sure keep a low profile. The band features three of Vermont’s finest acoustic players. First and foremost is violinist David Gusakov. Gusakov was a member of Burlington’s progressive bluegrass pioneers Pine Island in the late 1970s, presently plays with gypsy-jazz outfit Swing Noire and has logged time in just about every great local acoustic band in between. He’s joined by banjo whiz Rick Ceballos and multi-instrumentalist Matt Witten, who are equally regarded in Vermont trad, old-time and bluegrass circles. You’d think a band with such elite pedigree would cause quite a stir in the Green Mountains. Yet the group is practically un-google-able. Save for a couple of gig listings here and there, the only evidence Daddy Long Legs exist is a self-titled debut record released earlier this year. It seems these spiders prefer to let their music do their talking.

The low point is “Kids Today,” a lazily constructed reggae-rock song that attempts to skewer the millennial generation. Unfortunately, the cut bears little of the wit or ingenuity of the preceding tracks and comes off more like crotchety “Get off my lawn!” grumbling. REDadmiral rebound on “Barbie’s Plastic Army.” Drummer Chris Giovanelli sets a skittering beat over which bassist Sam Crawford lays down plunging grooves. The song harks back to Sailing the Seas of Cheese-era Primus, which ain’t a bad thing. The album closes on twangy pop cut “Let It Go,” which sounds something like what might happen if the Replacements’ Paul Westerberg fronted Camper Van Beethoven. It’s a nifty finish to an odd little gem of a debut. REDadmiral by REDadmiral is available now at redadmiral1.bandcamp. com. The band plays the Northern Exposure showcase on Thursday, June 16, at the Higher Ground Showcase Lounge in South Burlington. An official release party for the album is Tuesday, June 28, at Nectar’s in Burlington.

Big Head Todd ROCK

AESOP

is all growned up. Well, kinda. The acclaimed rapper has recently rededicated

himself to two childhood hobbies, skateboarding and drawing. Perhaps that’s an effort to recapture some of his waning youth in the lined face of adulthood. His latest record, The Impossible Kid, ruminates on aging and how relationships — with friends, family and ourselves — change over time. In typical Aesop fashion, it’s whip-smart and poignant. It also reveals a newfound sense of humor, suggesting that with age and wisdom come lightness and willingness to not take everything so damn seriously. Aesop Rock plays the Higher Ground Ballroom in South Burlington on Thursday, June 16, with ROB SONIC, DJ ZONE and HOMEBOY SANDMAN.

hard labor and booze. Front man Connor Millican founded the roots-rock group while painting houses by day and tending bar by night. The band’s take on twang reflects that blue-collar ethic, cut with a chaser of woozy indie-rock sensibilities. Regional critics have lauded their records, including Mike Hamad of the Hartford Courant, who wrote of their 2014 debut, The Patterns, “You can almost smell the late-night paint fumes and hear the clinking of glasses.” Wise Old Moon play the Light Club Lamp Shop in Burlington on Friday, June 17.

Deborah Sharpe-Lunstead, Jackson Gallery B Y RA C HE L E LI ZA BETH JONES

he term “fiber art” most frequently denotes textiles: felting, soft sculpture, weaving, knitting, crochet. But it’s easy to forget that paper is also made from plant fibers. Galleries tend to draw a distinction between fiber arts and paper works, but certain artists challenge that line. Middlebury-based “pulp painter” Deborah Sharpe-Lunstead is one of them. Her works manipulate natural fibers to create highly textured, clothlike paper landscapes. Sharpe-Lunstead’s pulp paintings are currently on view at Jackson Gallery at Town Hall Theater in Middlebury; the show was curated by Margaret Coleman of Burlington’s ONE Arts Center, working closely with gallery director Elinor Steele Friml. “Full Circle: Emerging Landscapes Within Handmade Paper” presents 22 of the artist’s landscapes, many of which have never been exhibited. They range in content from a local scene of Middlebury Falls to romantic seascapes on Prince Edward Island and Block Island; from sunflower fields in Tuscany to whitewashed New England squalls. What’s remarkable about these works is less their natural scenery than how that scenery is rendered. As in historical fresco techniques, Sharpe-Lunstead uses a selection of liquid pigments to paint on a wet surface, fusing surface and color — painting not onto, but into. Both her surface and her medium are hand-processed paper pulp. As an exhibition label explains, “A pulp painting is not painted on the surface of the paper, but lies within the sheet of paper itself.” Sometimes Sharpe-Lunstead makes the pulp from plants or other materials gathered at the location being painted, creating a poetic holism of artist, material and artwork. The coastal rocks of “Victoria by the Sea (Prince Edward Island)” are made with P.E.I. red sand; rather than the artist’s approximation or interpretation of that landscape’s hue, it is the landscape. This is not the only cyclical relationship the show embodies, since, like many landscape artists, Sharpe-Lunstead is enraptured by the changing of the seasons.

REVIEW

Spring and summer scenes, such as “Causeway,” make use of relatively saturated blues (made from shredded blue jeans) and greens; “Autumn Symphony” is fiery with yellow, oranges and purple. In a series of three works, “Storm’s End,” “Snowy Fields” and “After the Storm,” a tiny red barn emerges against muted bluegreen mountains set on a field of white. Though an experienced weaver and felter, SharpeLunstead is self-taught as a papermaker. She explained during a studio visit, “Originally, [papermaking] was something to do with the kids.” In those days, she used a kitchen blender to make pulp. The artist’s husband, Jeff Lunstead, is a member of the Foreign Service and former ambassador to Sri Lanka and Maldives. While her family traveled and lived in tropical environments, SharpeLunstead began to experiment with boiling down available plants such as banana and ginger. “That’s when I started really understanding how paper worked,” she said. In 2002, SharpeLunstead enrolled in a papermaking course with artist Lynn Sures at the Corcoran School of the Arts & Design in Washington, D.C. There she encountered her first fully equipped papermaking studio. While living in Sri Lanka from 2004 to 2006, Sharpe-Lunstead studied drawing and painting — partly out of boredom. “I was

desperate to find something to do,” she said, “as the ambassador’s wife, which was not something I felt cut out for.” Her entire first year she drew only in pencil. Now, Sharpe-Lunstead’s instruments of choice are a turkey baster, syringes and even dental tools. When her family moved to Middlebury in 2008, she built her own papermaking studio above the adjacent garage and fully immersed herself in combining drawing and painting with papermaking. A short film by Jackson Whelan accompanies the exhibition and leads curious viewers through the intricacies of pulp painting, from start to finish — including the crucial Hollander beater.

of blades and moving water to make pulp, one pound of fiber at a time. Some of Sharpe-Lunstead’s most frequently used fibers are abaca, cotton and flax. Like the earliest human papermakers, she also makes use of papyrus fiber. Hibiscus, seaweed, gampi and hydrangea are employed, as well, among other flora. “Each plant is a unique color and will reflect light differently in a painting,” the artist says in the film. Sharpe-Lunstead’s landscapes are also frequently populated with plant elements that have not been pulped. Some of the works’ most exquisite and exciting elements are visible only on close inspection: The delicate skeleton of a tomatillo husk may appear embedded in a forest or field, or one may find a fragment of a wasp’s nest — “nature’s papermaker,” Sharpe-Lunstead called the insects. “The beauty of what’s naturally there speaks to me, in a way,” she said. Through her patience, careful hand and thoughtful dialogue with nature, Sharpe-Lunstead’s landscapes emerge as a unique meditation on fiber itself.

movies Maggie’s Plan ★★★★

ature abhors a vacuum, it’s said, and as I watched the first comedy from director Rebecca Miller (Personal Velocity), I had the distinct sense that she was auditioning for the job of the Next Woody Allen. Because, let’s be honest, as much as we’ve loved him, even admired him at times, the old boy’s lost his touch, and someone has to fill the role of America’s intellectual comic auteur. Now more than ever, in this age of multiplying superhero franchises. Maggie’s Plan confirms that Miller ranks with the most promising applicants for the position, even if it’s more like You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger than Hannah and Her Sisters. Like most of Allen’s classics, the film is set in New York, though we find ourselves in Brooklyn rather than Manhattan — a Brooklyn portrayed as a hipster haven of almost Portlandian proportions. Early on, we’re introduced to a bearded artisanal pickle entrepreneur played by Travis Fimmel. His name is Guy, and his gherkins aren’t what Maggie (Greta Gerwig) needs a small batch of. Single and in her thirties, she has hatched a plan to have a baby on her own and chosen Guy, a college friend, to serve as her sperm donor.

As fate — or, more accurately, romantic comedy convention — would have it, however, at this precise juncture, Maggie’s path crosses that of a tall, dark stranger. Well, a stranger, anyway. Ethan Hawke is convincing as a sort of rock-star academic, whose field of expertise is ficto-critical anthropology (I checked: It’s a thing). A paperwork mix-up brings the two together at the New School, where he teaches and she counsels graduate students on “the bridge between art and commerce.” It’s a pleasure to watch Gerwig in a role that allows her to retain her idiosyncratic fizz while keeping her feet more firmly on the ground than she did in films such as Frances Ha and Mistress America. Those characters could’ve used exactly the kind of guidance that Maggie provides here. Miller and cowriter Karen Rinaldi have created a sly, frequently funny film that starts as a traditional rom-com and ends up flipping those traditions on their heads. Maggie falls for Hawke’s John after he asks her to read a chapter of his in-progress novel and shares horror stories about life with his demanding wife, Georgette (Julianne Moore). She’s a fellow anthropologist whose Danish accent and brusque manner suggest a fashion-forward member of the SS.

MILLER TIME Gerwig and Hawke are paired in the filmmaker’s rom-com debut, a picture that playfully turns conventions of the genre on their heads.

Hawke and Gerwig do wonderful, subtle work, easing their characters incrementally from life as lovestruck sweethearts into coupledom with the kind of problems that artists and academics in Allen’s movies often have. A daughter, Lily, enters the picture, but that doesn’t prevent Maggie from eventually realizing that life with John isn’t doing it for her. He’s self-absorbed and nearly as dependent as her child, a situation that calls for Maggie’s Plan B. Movie-critic law prohibits saying more, except that this plan offers a refreshing feminist twist, essentially taking what appears to be a standard romantic comedy and turning it inside out. I certainly didn’t see it coming, and neither does John.

In addition to the subversive storyline and superb performances from the leads, Maggie’s Plan benefits from a dream ensemble cast that also includes Maya Rudolph, Bill Hader and Wallace Shawn. And there’s some seriously snappy dialogue. At a conference held by the Ficto-Critical Anthropology Association, for example, a fan approaches John and gushes, “No one unpacks commodity fetishism like you do.” Hey, it may not be Annie Hall, but it’ll do nicely until a filmmaker funnier and more intelligent than Miller comes along.

The Conjuring 2 ★★★

aking an effective horror movie isn’t always about originality. Fear is one of our most conservative emotions — it takes us back to childhood — and so, more often, success in horror is about finding new ways to scare audiences with the same old creaks and bangs in the night. While I’m a fright fan who celebrates bolder concoctions such as It Follows, I can also appreciate a hackneyed horror flick done relatively right. With equal helpings of fear and corn, The Conjuring 2 fits the bill. Like the first Conjuring, this one claims to chronicle the exploits of Ed and Lorraine Warren (Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga), who gained celebrity in the 1970s as, essentially, the Catholic Church’s version of ghostbusters. The sequel opens with the couple investigating their most famous case, the so-called “Amityville horror.” Then we move across the Atlantic to working-class London, where an 11-year-old girl (Madison Wolfe) in a crumbling council house has begun receiving poltergeist visitations. In real life, the Enfield haunting, as this case was called, attracted a slew of paranormal investigators besides the Warrens. It poses enduring mysteries, too: Was young Janet Hodgson really possessed by the spirit of a former homeowner, or did she and her sister fake the manifestations for attention? James Wan’s film flirts with that ambiguity, but it’s safe to say the story he tells here is fic-

NOW YOU SEE HER Wolfe plays a problematic preteen whose demons take many forms in Wan’s horror sequel.

tion inspired by the events. Extremely familiar fiction. Children’s toys coming alive, furniture moving, a young girl speaking in a demonic growl, bumps and thuds, and even a figure shamelessly stolen from The Babadook — The Conjuring 2 is a compendium of clichés. This time around, Wan and his three coscreenwriters have made the Warrens and their relationship integral to the action, crafting a subplot in which a demon stalks Lorraine from Amityville to Enfield. While Wilson and Farmiga are both skilled at walking the line

between sincerity and camp, their characters’ repeated mutual professions of love and faith just heighten the hokeyness level. Wittier writing would have been welcome; Nick and Nora this pair are not. And yet, despite all these tired elements, The Conjuring 2 might just scare you. Take originality out of the equation, along with gore — which this series eschews — and horror is all about rhythm, timing, casting and production design. Wan has his shooting and editing tricks down to a science: Even when we know

what to expect, he catches us off guard. Take the scene where Janet snaps off a staticky TV, and the phantom appears reflected on its dead screen — a mirroring surface that didn’t exist an instant ago. Just as clever is a lengthy shot in which a key area of the image remains out of focus, forcing us to imagine what’s happening there. By strategically limiting what we see, Wan wrings genuine suspense out of his predictable plot. Equally important is the casting of Wolfe. She fits the period, and her sullen, skittish Janet is believable as a victim of supernatural activity or as a brilliant preadolescent hoaxer — in short, a more intriguing figure than any of the supporting players in The Conjuring. A better film might have played at greater length with the possibility of Janet’s deception. (As an adult, the real Hodgson did confess to faking “2 percent” of the phenomena.) But Wan and co. are clearly invested in the Warrens’ faith in the reality of the demons they claimed to expel. Combined with solid technique, that commitment to old-school scares makes for a fun — if overlong — thrill ride. Future installments in the Conjuring series seem unlikely to conjure up anything new. But as long as the filmmakers continue to find spooky cases to fictionalize with wild abandon, they should scare up decent box-office numbers. MARGO T HARRI S O N

Weiner SEVEN DAYS

After his sexting scandal in 2011, congressman Anthony Weiner's name was a punchline. In 2013, he tried to fight his way back into politics as a candidate for New York City mayor, but things didn't go quite as planned. Directors Josh Kriegman and Elyse Steinberg were embedded with the campaign, and they capture the events in a documentary that won the Grand Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival. Critics say the film shines a disturbing light on modern politics. It starts this 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 JUNE 16-22

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Everything you

GEMINI

(MAY 21-JUNE 20) My long-term predictions for the next 15 months are a blend of hopeful optimism and a reasonable interpretation of the astrological omens. Here we go: 1. You will have an excellent chance to smooth and soothe the rough spots in your romantic karma. 2. You will outgrow any addiction you might have to frustrating connections. 3. Unrequited love will either be requited, or else you’ll become bored with the futile chase and move on. 4. You’ll be challenged to either refresh and reinvent an existing intimacy, or else get shrewd enough not to repeat past mistakes in a new intimacy. 5. You will have an abundance of good ideas about how to install the theme of smart fun at the heart of your strongest alliances.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Author Court-

tia Newland quotes the pre-Socratic philosopher Meno: “How will you go about finding the thing the nature of which is totally unknown to you?” In response to this riddle, Newland riffs on what it means to him: “Even more important than the journey itself, is the venture into the unknowable. The ability to find comfort moving forwards without quite knowing where you are going.” I nominate these to be your words to live by in the coming days, Cancerian. Have open-hearted fun as you go in search of mysterious and impossible secrets! I’m confident you will track them down — especially if you’re willing to be lost.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22): Your homework is to write a story about the life you’re going to live between now and next April. The length of this predictive tale should be at least three pages, although it’s fine if you produce more. Here are some meditations to lubricate the flow of your imagination. 1. What three questions would you love to have answered during the next 42 weeks? 2. Of the numerous adventures that might be fun to explore, which are the two that would be most consistently energizing? 3. What is the one thing you’d most like to change about your attitude or revamp about your life? 4. What new privilege will you have earned by April 2017?

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): According to an

old Chinese proverb, if you want to get rich, you must have a nickname. My meditations on your future suggest that this curious formula may have some validity. The next 15

months will be a favorable time to attend to the groundwork that will ultimately increase your wealth. And your luck in doing this work is likely to be oddly good if you add a frisky tweak to your identity — such as a zesty new nickname, for example. I suggest you stay away from clichés like Ace or Vixen or Sharpie, as well as off-putting ironic monikers like Poker Face and Stonewall. Instead, gravitate toward lively choices like Dazzler, FluxLuster, Hoochie-Coochie or FreeBorn.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): During the next 15 months, you will have an unprecedented chance to materialize a fantasy you’ve harbored for years. Essential to your efforts will be a capacity to summon more ambition than you ever have before. I’m not talking about the grubby self-promotion that typically passes for ambition, however. Arrogant self-importance and selfish posturing will not be part of your winning formula. Rather, the kind of ambition I’m referring to is a soaring aspiration that seeks the best and highest not just for yourself but for everyone whose life you touch. I mean the holy hunger that drives you to express impeccable integrity as you seek to master the tasks you came to Earth to accomplish. Get started! SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): During the next 15 months, composting should be a primary practice, as well as a main metaphor. If you have been lazy about saving leftover scraps from your kitchen and turning them into fertilizer, now is an excellent time to intensify your efforts. The same is true if you have been lax about transforming your pain into useful lessons that invigorate your lust for life. Be ever alert for opportunities to capitalize on junk, muck and slop. Find secret joy in creating unexpected treasure out of old failures and wrong turns.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Have you ever made a fool of yourself while trying to fulfill your deepest yearnings? I hope so. If you haven’t, your yearnings probably aren’t deep enough. Most of us, on multiple occasions, have pursued our longings for connection with such unruly intensity that we have made foggy decisions and engaged in

questionable behavior. That’s the weird news. The good news is that now and then, the impulse to leave our safety zone in a quest to quench our deepest yearnings can actually make us smarter and more effective. I believe this is one of those times for you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): During the next 13 months, what can you do to enhance your ability to be the boss of yourself? What practices can you engage in on a daily basis that will build your potency and authority and clout? How can you gain access to more of the helpers and resources you need to carry out your life’s master plan? These are excellent questions to ask yourself every day between now and July 2017. It’s time to find or create your ultimate power spot. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The prison population in the U.S. is over 2 million, more than twice what it was in 1990. In contrast, Canada keeps about 41,000 people in jail, Italy 52,000 and France 66,000. That’s the bad news. The good news, at least for you and your tribe, is that a relatively small percentage of you will be incarcerated during the next 15 months. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, Aquarians all over the world will specialize in liberation. Not only will you be extra ethical; not only will you be skillful at evading traps; you will also be adept at emancipating yourself from your own delusions and limitations. Congratulations in advance! It’s time to start singing some new freedom songs.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20): The English word “catharsis” is derived from the ancient Greek katharsis, which was a technical medical term that meant “purgation” or “purification,” as in flushing out the bowels. Aristotle converted katharsis into a metaphor that described how a drama performed in the theater could “clean out” the emotions of spectators. These days, catharsis may refer to any event that precipitates a psycho-spiritual renewal by building up and then releasing tension. I foresee at least one of these strenuous blessings in your immediate future.

SEVENDAYSVT.COM

ARIES (March 21-April 19): The coming months will be a favorable time to boost your skills as a cagey warrior. I don’t mean you should push people around and get into lots of fights. Rather, the goal is for you to harness your aggressiveness constructively and to wield your willpower with maximum grace. In the face of fear, you will not just be brave, but brave and crafty. You’ll refrain from forcing storylines to unfold before they’re ready, and you’ll rely on strategy and good timing instead of brute strength and the decree “Because I said so.” Now study this counsel from the ancient Chinese statesman Zhuge Liang, also known as Crouching Dragon: “The wise win before they fight, while the ignorant fight to win.”

do in the coming days should be imbued with the intention of enhancing the Flow. It’s high time to identify where the energy is stuck, and then get it unstuck. You have a sacred mandate to relieve the congestion ... to relax the tweaks ... to unravel the snarls if you can, or simply cut through them if necessary. You don’t need to tell anyone about your secret agenda. Just go about your business with zealous diligence and unflagging purpose. If it takes more effort than you wished, so be it. If your progress seems maddeningly gradual, keep the faith.
