“That’s not glamorous work. It’s difficult and detailed and requires a willingness to change habits,” Leonard said in an interview. “In a field wrought by a lot of bureaucratic thinking, one of the greatest attributes Deac brought was a sense of problem solving. I couldn’t be sadder on this day from a city perspective, but I’m excited for Deac on a personal level.” Decarreau said she’s eager to move on. She had intended to do the job for just three years. “After seven years, you get tired,” she said. “It’s intense work. All day long, every 15 minutes you get a question that has two years of history. Sometimes, it’s good to change those questions. The worst thing you can do in a job is stay too long.” Decarreau isn’t going far, though. Although her new office is in Essex Junction, she’ll come home every night to Winooski, where her family has lived for generations.

Set in a postapocalyptic “company town” and laced with striking thematic elements that evoke the darkest days of the Depression, Hadestown is an ambitious and imaginative retelling of the Greek tragedy of Orpheus and Eurydice. It opens this Thursday at the Barre Opera House, the first of a seven-date tour. While interpretations of the classical myth are hardly rare, Anaïs Mitchell’s version is unique in style and scope. It draws from a deep well of musical and theatrical ingenuity to present the tale in compelling and, at times, sinister fashion. Employing

Courting Disaster

ast October, Vermont State Police Detective Sgt. BENJAMIN KATZ showed up unannounced at Seven Days’ Burlington headquarters. He had spent the previous six months investigating allegations that Sen. NORM MCALLISTER (R-Franklin) had sexually assaulted two women and attempted to trade rent for sex with a third. Seven Days had covered the story closely — interviewing both accuser and accused — and now Katz wanted to get his hands on what we’d gathered in the course of our reporting. Within weeks of his visit, Franklin County Deputy State’s Attorney DIANE WHEELER subpoenaed news editor MATTHEW ROY, reporter MARK DAVIS and me to be deposed — and provide authorities all tape recordings, notebooks and emails related to the case. “It was scary and disruptive,” says Seven Days publisher and coeditor PAULA ROUTLY. It was scarier still — for me, at least — to learn how vulnerable Vermont reporters are to being deputized as virtual law enforcement agents. Unlike 40 other states and the District of Columbia, Vermont has no media shield law on the books. Such statutes, which vary widely from state to state, generally protect reporters from having to divulge confidential sources and unpublished information — and at least require attorneys to exhaust other alternatives first. For decades, according to retired Burlington Free Press reporter MIKE DONOGHUE, a 1974 Vermont Supreme Court case known as State v. St. Peter protected reporters from such intrusions unless the relevant information was material to guilt or innocence and it wasn’t available from another source. “I had 18 subpoenas from defense lawyers, from prosecutors — sometimes got subpoenaed by both sides in a case,” says Donoghue, who serves as executive director of the Vermont Press Association. “And each time there was no showing that the St. Peter test could be met.” But in the past decade, according to Gravel & Shea attorney ROBERT HEMLEY, press protections in the state “have been eroded significantly.” In 2005, the Vermont Supreme Court forced WCAX-TV to provide prosecutors unaired footage of University of Vermont students rioting after the Boston Red Sox won the penant the year before. In 2007, the court required a reporter from Bradford’s Journal Opinion to testify about what he’d heard in a public meeting.

OPEN SEASON ON VERMONT POLITICS BY PAUL HEINTZ

These decisions have had real-world implications for Vermont reporters and the readers they serve, according to ALLEN GILBERT, the outgoing executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Vermont. The threat and cost of litigation can prompt reporters and financially struggling news outlets to censor themselves — and the threat of a subpoena can cause sources to clam up. “Why would anybody talk to a reporter again if there’s any hint, at all, that there might be criminal charges arising from something?” Gilbert asks.

SEVEN DAYS DECIDED TO FIGHT BACK. Adds Society of Professional Journalists president PAUL FLETCHER, “You put a reporter in kind of an untenable position of having to decide whether I’m going to spill the beans on my source who trusted me or if I’m willing to take a contempt citation and go to jail.” Seven Days decided to fight back. We hired Hemley, the state’s top First Amendment lawyer, and filed motions to quash the subpoenas. The prosecution dropped its pursuit of Roy, who had conducted no reporting on the story. And, in a January decision, Franklin County Superior Court Judge ROBERT MELLO ruled in my favor. He noted that prosecutors could obtain what they wanted — namely, what I’d learned in interviews with one of the alleged victims — from the woman herself. “The production of either Mr. Heintz’s testimony or notes would be an undue burden on the press,” Mello wrote, adding that it could prompt reporters in the future to destroy their notes. Davis wasn’t so lucky. McAllister had admitted to him during an October 2015 interview that he had had sex with the women in question — an admission the senator later recanted. Because McAllister could assert his Fifth Amendment right to avoid testifying at his own trial, Mello ruled, Davis was the only source for that information. Shortly before McAllister stood trial last week, Wheeler subpoenaed yet another reporter: Vermont Public Radio’s PETER HIRSCHFELD. The prosecutor was hoping he’d confirm the authenticity of a recording of a January press conference during which McAllister denied having

sex with one of the alleged victims. Why Wheeler chose Hirschfeld was never quite clear, given that nearly half the Statehouse press corps — myself included — witnessed the event, as did two non-journalists: doorkeepers working for the sergeant-at-arms’ office. “We did not believe that it was appropriate to call Pete or subpoena Pete,” says VPR senior vice president JOHN VAN HOESEN. “There were other people there who could authenticate this information that was being sought.” Last Wednesday afternoon, as Davis and Hirschfeld milled around the St. Albans courthouse with several state legislators who had also been called to testify, Wheeler and McAllister’s attorneys struck a deal: They would admit as evidence portions of Davis’ story and the press conference recording — and release the two reporters from testifying. The next morning, for unrelated reasons, the prosecution’s case fell apart — and the state moved to dismiss two charges against McAllister. (See story, page 14.) By then, Seven Days had racked up more than $15,000 worth of legal bills and spent countless hours defending itself. “It was uncomfortable for obvious reasons,” says Davis, who has covered cops and courts for a decade and has never been forced to testify. “I was proud of our efforts to resist it at every turn.” It could have been worse. Though the prosecution’s initial request would have swept up notes and recordings of off-therecord conversations, Judge Mello proved somewhat sympathetic to the press, and the attorneys involved eventually backed down. Our stories did not rely on confidential sources, and we were not forced to choose between honoring our commitments and avoiding jail time. Next time, we might not be so lucky. That’s why Fletcher thinks Vermont would be wise to pass a shield law. It’s a risky proposition, he says, to rely on the goodwill of judges and prosecutors. Among the current crop of gubernatorial candidates, there appears to be support for such legislation. Democrats MATT DUNNE and SUE MINTER and Republican BRUCE LISMAN say they support passing a robust shield law in Vermont. As it happens, both Dunne and Minter are married to journalists and writers. Democrat PETER GALBRAITH and Republican Lt. Gov. PHIL SCOTT say they, too, support enacting a shield law, though with some qualifications — including

GOT A TIP FOR PAUL? PAUL@SEVENDAYSVT.COM

exceptions for when information cannot be obtained elsewhere. In the meantime, Vermont journalists have to get back to work. After the trial ended last Thursday, Seven Days reporter TERRI HALLENBECK thought to drop by McAllister’s Franklin farm to see if he’d discuss the unexpected outcome. Doing so was a risk, because it could land Hallenbeck a subpoena of her own. But doing so is her job. She went.

Four the Record

Damn Emails? For more than a year, Vermont Republican Party vice chair BRADY TOENSING has been seeking to pry emails out of the hands of Attorney General BILL SORRELL. On Monday, the Charlotte attorney and political instigator filed suit against the retiring AG — to force him to give them up. According to Deputy Attorney General SUSANNE YOUNG, Toensing’s requests — for four years’ worth of emails between nine state employees and 30 others — netted 13,629 messages. The office turned over “hundreds of pages of documents” last winter, she said in a letter to Toensing, but would not search messages sent to or from Sorrell’s personal email account or those of his staffers. Toensing argues that’s a violation of the state’s Public Records Act, which does not distinguish between communications sent by state email, personal Gmail or carrier pigeon. “This decision to refuse to even search for records is nonsensical and unsupported by any authority,” says Toensing, who filed his complaint in Chittenden Superior Court. “It is shockingly arrogant, completely guts the public records law and puts General Sorrell’s political self-interest over that of the state.” Toensing’s characteristic hyperbole aside, Young’s decision could have farreaching ramifications. State legislators and even members of the notoriously recalcitrant Shumlin administration have

POLITICS

occasionally provided reporters with messages sent by text or personal email accounts. Gilbert, the departing executive director of ACLU-Vermont, agrees with Toensing, calling it a “very bad precedent to say that anytime something’s on a private device it’s off-limits.” “The logic is that anybody could immunize a public record from public scrutiny simply through the use of non-state devices,” Gilbert says, comparing the situation to the “HILLARY CLINTON private email server problem.” Sorrell takes umbrage at the notion that he’s engaging in “some great Machiavellian conspiratorial whatever.” He says he’s careful to forward emails inadvertently sent to his personal email account on to his state account. “Trying to use private email systems to avoid matters getting into the public record is wrong,” he said in a Monday interview. “And if that was drawn to our attention, we’d look into that.” Asked how a reporter would know whether the law was being skirted, Sorrell suddenly turned hostile and accused Seven Days of “carrying water for Brady Toensing.” Huh. Put it in an email.

Donald Duck, Pt. II Former vodka purveyor DONALD TRUMP is the most talked-about man in American politics. According to one research firm, mediaQuant, he received nearly $3 million in free media coverage in his bid for the Republican presidential nomination. But, evidently, Trump remains an enigma to two of Vermont’s top Republican politicians. For months, Lisman and U.S. Senate candidate SCOTT MILNE have said

they don’t know whether they’ll support the racist, sexist, xenophobic demagogue. Their indecision stands in stark contrast to Lt. Gov. Scott, Lisman’s gubernatorial rival, and former state auditor RANDY BROCK, who is running to succeed Scott as LG. Both men spoke out against Trump last year and have said they will not vote for him. We here at Seven Days are curious what it will take for Lisman and Milne to make up their minds, so we intend to check in with them — and other top Republicans — each week until they do. Lisman, according to spokeswoman SHAWN SHOULDICE, “continues to evaluate Mr. Trump’s candidacy” and “has not decided whether or not to support Mr. Trump.” Shouldice adds, “Bruce will continue to give the issue deliberate and thorough consideration.” Milne, who previously told Seven Days he would disclose his presidential pick by October 15, also remains undecided. But the Pomfret Republican says he has found recent remarks by Trump — particularly those denigrating a Mexican American judge born in Indiana — “distressing.” “I’m listening, and I have an open mind, but unfortunately it continues to get harder and harder to support him the more he talks,” says Milne, who is running against Sen. PATRICK LEAHY (D-Vt.). Trump’s suggestion that the federal judge, GONZALO CURIEL, could not perform his duties without bias because of his heritage was not racist, Milne maintained, but a worrisome intrusion into the judicial branch. “‘Racist’ is a pretty strong word,” he says. “I thought it was inappropriate. And I just disagreed with it. I don’t want to get into calling Donald Trump a racist.” We’ll see if he does next week. m

Starting next month, the oldest daily newspaper in Vermont can no longer be described that way. The Rutland Herald and its slightly younger sister publication, the BarreMontpelier Times Argus, plan to cease print publication on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays. The family-owned newspapers will continue publishing online those days and expect to distribute “expanded” editions through the rest of the week. The Herald and the TA announced the changes, which take effect early next month, after company brass briefed employees Monday afternoon. Owner R. JOHN MITCHELL framed the move as a means of avoiding further layoffs while moving to a digital future. “We’ve cut, I think, all the jobs we can without really decimating the newsroom,” he told his paper. “This is an attempt to keep from having dramatic layoffs in the newsroom and to try and monetize the technical base we’ve built for social media.” DAVID MINDICH, a journalism professor at Saint Michael’s College, says the move to digital makes some sense, calling the old model — “growing trees, cutting them

down, schlepping newspapers all over town in cars and trucks” — “insane.” But whether newspapers such as the Herald and TA can make up lost print revenue online, he says, “is still an open question.”

ours after state prosecutors dropped the felony sexual assault charges against him, Sen. Norm McAllister (R-Franklin) was back on his farm in Highgate. He’d changed out of his courtroom blazer and tie into a T-shirt and shorts. But there was no backyard victory party attended by high-fiving friends. Neither side was celebrating after the high-profile case reached its surprising conclusion last Thursday. Those who expected that the trial would bring clarity walked away without knowing whether McAllister — whose colleagues voted to suspend him from the Senate — was guilty or innocent of the charges against him. As one of the 12 jurors confided to a reporter after the one-day trial: “I was just so confused.” On Wednesday, McAllister’s accuser — a young woman who had worked for him first as a farmhand and then as a legislative assistant in Montpelier — took the stand and described where and how the senator repeatedly assaulted her. Her testimony was expected to continue into Thursday, but instead, Franklin County Deputy State’s Attorney Diane Wheeler started the second day of the trial by dismissing the charges. Does that mean there had been no sexual contact between the 64-yearold legislator and the woman, who is now 21? “I’m not going to answer that,” McAllister’s defense attorney, Brooks McArthur, said outside the courthouse. A second sexual assault case still hangs over the senator, and that trial has not been scheduled. McAllister is running for reelection without having definitively cleared his name. As for the accuser, she left the courthouse disappointed, upset and regretting that she ever got involved in the case, according to her Burlington lawyer, Karen Shingler. She said the young woman stands by her allegations against McAllister. So what went wrong? The accuser’s four-hour testimony was hardly a slam dunk. Clearly anxious, uncertain and occasionally defiant, she struggled to answer even simple questions, such as how long it took her to drive from her home to McAllister’s farm. When Wheeler — the lawyer on her side, who’s been prosecuting sex

Sen. Norm McAllister

crimes for two decades — asked how long it took her to do the farm chores, she said she didn’t know. But that’s not what led to the dismissal, said Shingler, who represented the accuser at the request of the Franklin County State’s Attorney’s Office. Last Thursday morning, Wheeler said that new information she received the night before made her ethically obligated to dismiss the charges. Franklin County State’s Attorney Jim Hughes said his office could not reveal what the new information was. “I can’t tell you specifics or details of the ethical dilemma, because we still have charges pending against Mr. McAllister,” he said. Shingler was more forthcoming. “She lied under oath and admitted it,” the lawyer said of her client. She said that after last Wednesday’s proceedings, the young woman admitted that she had answered one tangential question untruthfully. Wheeler later confirmed that the statement “did not directly relate to the allegations that Norman McAllister repeatedly sexually assaulted her.” She

said her office had no plans to pursue perjury charges. Such a revelation does not necessarily have to halt a trial, according to lawyers not involved in the case. A prosecutor could reveal the information to the defense and the judge and continue with the case, said Tristram Coffin, a former federal prosecutor in Vermont. Instead, Shingler said she advised her client not to continue testifying unless Wheeler granted her immunity from prosecution for perjury, which Wheeler declined to do. Shingler said that while her client admitted to a misstatement, she stood by her claim that McAllister sexually assaulted her multiple times in his house, in an old barn and at his apartment in Montpelier. It’s not uncommon for an accuser to tell a lie that is tangential to the case while on the stand, said Anne Munch, a former prosecutor who is a Denverbased consultant on sexual assault and domestic violence. It doesn’t mean the whole story was fabricated, she said. The challenge for a prosecutor, she said,

is to prepare the jury for potentially problematic testimony. “Human beings sometimes tell lies. Any human being has a difficult time remembering things exactly as they happened,” Munch said. But the case against McAllister looked to be floundering even before the alleged mistruth surfaced. There was no physical evidence against the defendant, and McAllister’s attorneys had earlier won a bid to sever two sexual assault cases into two trials, meaning that the jury last week would never have heard that another woman had also accused McAllister of sexual assault. That put all the pressure on McAllister’s 4-foot-11-inch accuser, who was dressed in jeans and a plaid buttondown shirt with her hair pulled back in a ponytail. Wheeler described her in a pretrial court hearing as a “simple girl.” In his cross-examination, David Williams, one of McAllister’s two defense attorneys, spent hours Wednesday afternoon poking holes in her story. He confronted the witness with audio clips of interviews she’d given under oath in

avid Goode remembers when he and his neighbors first noticed cracks in the parking lot behind their condominiums, which are perched high above Burlington’s Intervale. They assumed the problem was minor — but they were wrong. The parking lot of the Manhattan Drive complex at the intersection of Oak Street is slowly sinking, and so is the retaining wall holding it in. “The more we find out about it, the more we find that we have major issues,” Goode said glumly as he gazed at the sloping cement lot between the condo complex and land’s end. The condo association has been involved in a lengthy and expensive lawsuit with the builders who erected the complex in 2007 above the city’s old landfill. Repairing the problems would be expensive. “We just want it fixed,” said Goode, president of the condo association. “That’s all we want.” The Manhattan Drive parking lot isn’t the only Burlington property teetering on the edge. In a crowded, hilly city with lakeside cliffs and miles of riverbank, building in tight, steep spots is inevitable. A swath of downtown Burlington is constructed on a deep ravine. The hazards of hillside building manifest themselves periodically, including what officials call “slope failure.” In 1998, the city successfully pushed for the demolition of Tri City Glass, a business at 471 Riverside Avenue, because it was at risk of sliding down an embankment toward the Winooski River. In 2014, city officials realized the shoulder and part of one lane had fallen away where Manhattan Drive intersects with Route 127, probably as a result of a big storm the previous year. Road reconstruction and slope stabilization are expected to wind up this summer. On Monday, work crews began deconstructing a house at 292 Plattsburg Avenue in Burlington’s New North End. For more than a decade, its occupants enjoyed the Winooski River view. But water gradually scoured the bank, and, on May 22, a hunk of earth and trees collapsed into the river, nearly taking the house along with it.

The Plattsburg Avenue demolition

DEVELOPMENT City engineer Norm Baldwin, who approved the demolition plan, said there’s little that city officials or anyone else could have done to prevent the situation. “Time has marched on, and nature

has done its thing with the river, and, unfortunately, it’s impacted this structure,” he said. It’s not the city’s job to go beyond enforcing zoning and codes, said Baldwin. “If someone has a piece of land, they have to hire professionals to use good judgments to make good decisions on whether or not it’s a safe investment on

the property,” he said, adding: “It’s really on the property owner.” As Burlington grows, it could see more buildings perched precipitously — not just because they afford some of the city’s most dramatic views. City zoning discourages development on slopes with a greater than 30 percent grade in lowand medium-density residential zones. In high-density residential or commercial zones, building on steep slopes is more permissible, although it typically requires more complicated engineering and extra permits. “As there’s less buildable land in Vermont, there’s more pressure to build on land that would have been considered unsuitable a decade or so ago,” said William Towle, an attorney with South Burlington-based Ward & Babb who is representing the condo owners on Manhattan Drive. Despite what happened to Tri City, the owners of four lots on the north side of Riverside Avenue have asked the city to rezone them to increase allowable density and permit more construction. It’s currently limited because of the threat of further Winooski River erosion.

The Burlington Planning Commission considered the matter last month but decided to delay any decision until fall. Plans for similarly difficult developments in other parts of the city are also on the drawing board. Redstone is proposing a 56-unit apartment complex that would be built into the bluff overlooking Lake Champlain at the south end of Lakeview Terrace. A “for sale” sign recently popped up on pedestrianonly Depot Street, which plunges from North Avenue to the Burlington waterfront steeply enough that it’s been used as a downhill ski run for a fundraiser. Cynthia Smith is offering the 0.10-acre house lot on the road’s wooded eastern slope for $229,000. A former Burlington resident who now lives in Massachusetts, Smith said the parcel is a remnant of land that once belonged to her ancestor Frederick Smith, one of the owners of the Champlain Glass Company that operated near the foot of Pearl Street from about 1827 to 1850. Smith said a house on her Depot Street lot would represent exactly the sort of infill development that the city encourages.

GOT A NEWS TIP? NEWS@SEVENDAYSVT.COM A rusting automobile and garbage were unearthed during construction of the condo complex and should have highlighted the potential soil instability on the property, the lawsuit contends. The parking lot and a retaining wall were improperly built on a man-made shelf of moldering landfill trash, new fill and disturbed soil that has now settled and caused the land to shift, the lawsuit says. Monthly condo fees for Goode and the other condo owners have jumped from $170 to $350 to pay the legal tab. Goode and his wife had a baby and moved to a bigger place in the New North End a few years ago. They rent their Manhattan Drive condo in what Goode said is a break-even arrangement.

The construction could be done using sheet pilings to create a firm, flat surface, most likely with the house sitting atop a garage, she said. “It would be expensive, but the lot is so unique and nice and well located, and several different engineering firms have said it’s doable.” Smith’s had several nibbles on the lot but no buyers — yet. Assuming the design got though the development review process, “The real prohibition to building on a slope is ultimately how much money you’ve got,” said David White, Burlington director of planning and zoning. “It just gets really expensive to do it correctly.” And the price only increases if problems arise later. Over on Manhattan Drive, where the 10-year-old engineer-

it would be difficult to sell their condos with the lawsuit and parking lot issue hanging over the property, Goode said. To prevent similar problems in the future, White said it might be time to revisit the city’s rules about building on slopes. They haven’t changed since 2008, when regs in some parts of the city became more restrictive. “Increasingly, we see development in more and more marginal areas, if you will, and I think it’s something we have to come back around to,” he said. Until then, on warm, clear nights, residents and neighbors at 354 Manhattan Drive gather to watch the sun set as the Winooski River meanders in lazy beauty through the floodplain, parkland and the micro-farms of the Intervale below. The upside, according to Goode: “It’s a great view.” m

ing work is still being debated, Goode is hoping the parking lot problem will soon be resolved. The condo association filed suit three years ago against builder Dennis Rouille and his subcontractors, alleging that they did not properly construct the parking lot for the two-building, 15-unit complex in 2007. Not so, said Rouille’s attorney, John Franco: “We’re denying that, and the matter is in litigation.” Rouille, now a South Burlington resident, grew up in the Old North End. In a deposition for the lawsuit, he reminisced about playing in the old city dump as a child. “I used to bowand-arrow hunt frogs down there, rats and muskrats and stuff like that,” Rouille said. Today, the landfill is grassy and surprisingly parklike, but vestiges of its past use as a gigantic trash receptacle are evident just below the surface.

Out Front: Kim Fountain Leads LGBTQ Community Through Tragedy B Y ALI CI A FR EESE

SEVENDAYSVT.COM 06.22.16-06.29.16 SEVEN DAYS 18 LOCAL MATTERS

MATTHEW THORSEN

n June 13, a middle-aged woman wearing a tie tucked under a blue sweater stood on the steps of Burlington’s city hall addressing a large crowd. She was less recognizable than some of the other people onstage — including Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Mayor Miro Weinberger. But she was possibly the most qualified to help people understand the event bringing them together: a mass shooting the day before that left 49 dead in a gay nightclub in Orlando, Fla. Kim Fountain, executive director of the Pride Center of Vermont, explained what straight people might not immediately grasp: “Bars have been central to the LGBTQ culture … It is a place that we go for refuge from a really hostile world, and even that safety was taken from most of us when the shooting happened.” Later, she tied the “hate rhetoric that we keep hearing from political leaders” to what she described as a spike in “violence against our communities.” Vermont’s LGBTQ community was still mourning the murder of a 38-yearold transgender man from Milton when the Orlando massacre occurred. In the wake of the two tragedies, Fountain has been a steady-handed and industrious leader, supporting and speaking on behalf of LGBTQ people. With help from staff and others, she has organized the Orlando vigil, planned a memorial service, given numerous media interviews, and consoled and counseled members of her community. While recent events have thrust Fountain front and center, she’s been a familiar face in the gay community since 2011, when she became executive director of the Pride Center. A 20-year veteran of the LGBTQ movement, Fountain is credited with transforming the floundering community center into a disciplined organization that today is the largest entity serving LGBTQ people in the state. “She’s been the steady one through this,” said board member Josie Leavitt. “She does not crave the spotlight, but when there needs to be one voice, she’s happy to be that voice.” Sitting in her cramped, paper-laden office two days after the vigil, Fountain confirmed that she’s glad to have the opportunity to act as a “translator” for the broader public. Even before tragedy

struck, she said, “Most of what I’ve been trying to do here in Vermont is to try to shift the perspective that everything is fine for the LGBTQ communities.” Fountain, who keeps her silver-andblack hair cropped short, wears thickframed, rectangular glasses, and, in Leavitt’s words, “rocks a tie,” explained all of this over the loud snores of an employee’s pug that had taken up residence in her office. The 48-year-old comes across as firm and driven but also down-to-earth and funny, equally capable of discussing liberation politics and joking about chocolate croissants. When asked about her identity, she said she usually describes herself as a lesbian “because it’s just easier for people to hear than ‘dyke.’” The difference between the two terms, she said jokingly, is $40,000 a year. Fountain, who grew up in Massachusetts, said her parents faced opposition when they married — her Yankee father and Japanese mother were a nontraditional couple. That, she theorized, made coming out to her parents in 1986 easier than it might have

been. “They were like, ‘If you’re happy, so be it.’” After graduating from UMass Amherst, Fountain rode her motorcycle to Santa Cruz, Calif., where she spent several years living in a tight-knit lesbian community and hanging out on the beach. In 1995, she moved to Park Slope in Brooklyn, N.Y., to study anthropology at the New School. She took a job working the front desk and managing volunteers at what’s now called the New York City Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender Community Center. From there, while completing her PhD, she went to work at the AntiViolence Project, founded in 1980 to address violence against gay people in New York. She eventually rose to deputy director, but after 10 years of dealing with LGBTQ victims of murder and other crimes, “I thought I was going to get out of the movement,” Fountain recalled. She had a change of heart when she saw the job opening in Vermont. The slower pace of life and the chance to lead a small organization appealed to her, Fountain said. Volunteers started Burlington’s LGBTQ community center in 1999,

calling it RU12? Twelve years later, the Winooski center had five employees and a $270,000 budget and was facing serious financial trouble. Making payroll was an uncertain prospect. “When she came here, it was really week-to-week,” said board cochair Paul Sisson, an accountant who previously served as Burlington’s chief administrative officer. After she got the job, Fountain moved to Milton with her partner, Ana Hernández. Living there, she’s earned an appreciation for the particular challenges of being LGBTQ in a small-town setting, where being inconspicuous often isn’t an option. “We’ll be outside with my Japanese mother and [Ana’s] Venezuelan parents, who are actually Trinidadian … and I’m like, ‘Let’s go inside.’ But that’s about me. That’s not about my Milton neighbors at all. I’m just feeling different out in the driveway.” The only time other people have made her feel uncomfortable has been at the polls, Fountain said. “When it’s time to vote and the much more conservative politicians are out there shaking everybody’s hands, I walk up and they’re sort of looking up at the sky … There’s no handshaking and reaching out to me.” That hasn’t stopped her from reaching out to them when advocating for LGBTQ issues. After nearly five years on the job, Fountain described some of the changes she’s made at the Pride Center. She encouraged what had been a mere advisory board to become more active, and recruited new members, including Sisson and Leavitt, who have financial expertise and fundraising prowess. Within six months, she ended the practice of using a line of credit to make payroll. After improving the accounting practices, she commissioned the center’s first-ever audit, which came back clean. She successfully advocated for moving the center to its current, more centrally located spot on South Champlain Street in Burlington and adopting a more intelligible name: Pride Center of Vermont. Fountain also put her foot down regarding activities that strayed from the center’s mission. “We’re not going to adopt puppies. You know what I mean? We’re not gonna do … whatever it is

Every mass shooter in recent history either passed a background check or stole their weapon. Not a single gun control measure that the gun control crowd has put forward would have stopped a single one of these incidents. California is a gun control advocate’s wet dream. Their laws have long since wandered into the unconstitutional realm, yet San Bernardino happened. It is nearly impossible for a civilian to get a gun like an AR-15 in France, but Paris happened. Perhaps it’s time we start looking at solutions that might actually work rather than pointing at the scary black gun that most gun control advocates know next to nothing about.

I would love to sit down with Paul Heintz and show him the difference between a real machine gun and a semiautomatic firearm. I am open to doing this at any time or place and would welcome any other reporter to also be there.

Paul Heintz’s Fair Game column “The Gun” [June 15], about his anonymous purchase of an AR-15 semiautomatic rifle in a South Burlington parking lot, generated more online comments than nearly any story in Seven Days’ history. Just 39 hours after a man wielding an assault rifle massacred 49 people in a gay nightclub in Orlando, Fla., Heintz found an AR-15 for sale on a firearms website. He emailed and made arrangements to meet the owner at a Five Guys Burgers and Fries parking lot in South Burlington. That’s where he bought the rifle, without showing any ID, for $500 cash. In Vermont, no background checks are required for such “private sales,” and leaders including Gov. Peter Shumlin have opposed state legislation to mandate them. The transaction was entirely legal — for both Heintz and the seller. Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) mentioned the column Wednesday on the floor of the U.S. Senate during a 15-hour filibuster by Democrats protesting a lack of legislation on guns. “If we made universal background checks mandatory and made it illegal to sell guns without universal background checks, might that make a difference?” Leahy asked. Heintz’s column has been shared by thousands of Facebook users. Readers from across the country and Canada sounded off on the Seven Days website. Others voiced opinions on our Facebook and Twitter pages. Here’s a sampling.

Yet Switzerland in particular has a lower homicide rate than the U.S. homicide rate where guns are not involved.

Plant Bandit Strikes in Burlington, Stealing Shrubs, Trees and Blooms

After a six-month absence, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) returned to the U.S. Senate on Monday to cast his second vote of the year. And his third, fourth, fifth and sixth. At issue were a series of proposals to strengthen the nation’s gun laws. Like his district-mate, Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.), Sen. Patrick Leahy and Sanders supported Sen. Bernie Sanders in 2014 measures that would bar anyone on a federal terrorism watch list from buying firearms and require those engaging in private sales to undergo federal background checks. The pair opposed a Republican proposal to delay for 72 hours the purchase of firearms by individuals who land on a terrorism watch list. All of the measures failed. For Sanders, who has been busy campaigning for the Democratic presidential nomination, the votes were his first since January 12. According to govtrack.us, Sanders missed another 19 votes last fall. The senator declined an interview request, and a spokesman did not respond to questions about his long absence. In a statement issued by his Senate office, Sanders cited last week’s mass shooting at a gay nightclub in Orlando, Fla., to explain his votes. “Frankly, these Democratic amendments are no-brainers,” he said in the statement. “It is incomprehensible to me, and I believe to the vast majority of Americans, as to why Republicans would oppose them.” Leahy delivered a floor speech Monday afternoon responding to an open letter penned by Burlington High School student Ella Staats and published by the Young Writers Project. In the letter, the rising junior called on Leahy to “please, please do something” about gun violence. “Something big,” she continued. “I hope the votes that I cast on your behalf tonight demonstrate that I hear you, and I agree that we must act to prevent the next Orlando,” Leahy responded in his remarks. “Ella, thank you for doing that — for speaking out and for holding us accountable.”

And other payments to high school staff appear to meet the definition of wages rather than reimbursements and should have been made via payroll — not through student activity accounts, Lavery wrote. The memo never mentions longtime BHS principal Amy Mellencamp by name, but singles her out by title and says she failed to properly manage student account funds. Details on the dollar amounts are not specified. Seven Days has filed a public records request seeking the full report on student accounts. Mellencamp strongly disagrees with Lavery’s conclusions and said she knew nothing about the memo until it was presented to the school board at a June 14 meeting. “This is the case of his never asking questions of administrators, including myself, and just going ahead and making assumptions without gaining appropriate information,” Mellencamp said via email. Checks and balances are built into the system, she added. “We have tight accounting practices and are proud of our stewardship of these funds on behalf of the students, parents, teachers and community members involved.” Mellencamp later confirmed that the school purchased a $490 discount block of 40 tickets for a June 23 Red Sox game — with the understanding that employees would reimburse the school.

A wave of front yard plant thefts in Burlington over a 10-day span has harried homeowners concerned about the prospect of a serial greenthumbed thief — or thieves. Bandits dug up hostas, iris and other perennials by the roots, made off with hanging baskets and annuals, and snipped flowers before their owners could put them in vases. One resident lost apple trees planted in memory of a loved one. Since June 8, owners have written 26 posts on Front Porch Forum, the neighborhood email newsletter, about purloined plants. The incidents happened around the city, with a concentration in the Old North End. In some cases, the plants were expensive showpieces that might have resale value, such as a weeping dwarf Japanese maple uprooted from South Willard Street. In other cases, the thief took inexpensive grocery store annuals or garden-hogging perennials that the owners would have happily given away — had they been asked. City Councilor Sara Giannoni, a Ward 3 Progressive, urged victims to report their disappearing daylilies to the police, but only a few have. Police said Monday morning that four plant thefts have been reported. Suspects are sparse. “None,” Deputy Police Chief Bruce Bovat said when asked. Anna Carey, an avid gardener who lives on Blodgett Street, made one of the police reports. Some 40 or 50 peony flower heads were snipped from green stalks, wiping out a fragrant show of blooms that color her overflowing front yard garden once a year. “I just felt so badly for those peonies to be kidnapped like that,” Carey said.

To the Bike-Friendly NEK Comes a Bike-Art Competition and Show B Y AMY LI LLY

ast weekend, 1,900 mountain bikers descended on tiny East Burke for NEMBAfest, the New England Mountain Bike Association’s annual bike-and-camp at Kingdom Trails. The event’s attendees can pitch their tents on the gorgeous grounds of the Wildflower Inn in Lyndonville, and a maze of industry vendors — craft brewers included, of course — form a second tent city beside them. With so much fun to be had, why not throw art into the mix? That was roughly the idea behind the first annual UPCYCLE ART BIKE COMPETITION, according to TIM TIERNEY, Kingdom Trails’ executive director. Tierney and JODY FRIED — ED at CATAMOUNT ARTS in St. Johnsbury — hit on the idea together in April, says the mountain bike enthusiast. Tierney’s original idea was to “paint a few bikes and hang them on the light posts in [adjacent] Lyndonville” — which he did. The monochrome-painted frames help enhance the Northeast Kingdom’s image as bike-friendly. But then Fried brought in Catamount gallery director KATHERINE FRENCH to jury a competition. “Katherine took it to a higher level,” Tierney says with a chuckle.

The competition required only that the sculptures have some component of recycled bike parts. Works could be kinetic, functional or neither, and there was no size limit. As it happened, though, five of the winning seven sculptures fit into the Wildflower Inn’s octagonal garden pavilion. (The space had no signage and did the works no favors; fortunately, they are now being moved to storefronts in Lyndonville, where they’ll be on display, and for sale, through October 15.) Two stained-glass assemblages wound together with welded bike chains, by Winooski glass artist TERRY ZIGMUND, enhanced the pavilion’s stunning views. Below them sat a wooden chair with back spindles held in place by two seamlessly integrated chrome handlebars, by Vermont chair maker GEORGE SAWYER of Sawyer Made in Woodbury.

The colorful work was made using tubular bike frames’ existing curves and bends. Its ears are pedals, and one paw rests on a briefcase made of rusted chain rings. Mack is VERMONT STUDIO CENTER’s sculpture adviser and technician.

French noted of the submission pool, “The range was striking to me.” Now a Barton resident, the gallery director formerly headed the Danforth Art Museum\School in Framingham, Mass., where she also ran the New England Photography Biennial. She sees the competition as participating in a larger art-world trend of reusing old bikes. That trend might be traced back to early bike upcyclers Pablo Picasso and Marcel Duchamp, who pioneered the use of mass-fabricated bicycle components in art between the world wars. Picasso’s “Bull’s Head” is a wall-hung racing bike seat with handlebars as

Some of Nora Jacobson Jacobson’s past feature films include My Mother’s Early Lovers, Nothing Like Dreaming and Delivered Vacant — the last an eight-year project addressing gentrification in Hoboken, N.J.

Jacobson is clearly no stranger to longrange thinking and ambitious vision. She is also a founder of the WHITE RIVER INDIE FESTIVAL as well as

a competition for young aspiring filmmakers called FREEDOM & UNITY TV. Herb Lockwood was a multidisciplinary visual artist and musician, a native of upstate New York who moved to Burlington in 1982. He died in a tragic workplace

accident five years later at age 27. Says his brother Todd, “Herb was a loving man, and his art was but one form of his love.” The award in Herb’s name is meant to celebrate and promote excellence in the arts in Vermont; it’s recipient is chosen by an anonymous committee each year.

horns; Duchamp’s “Bicycle Wheel” consists of a bike wheel mounted on a kitchen stool. Contemporary artists such as Ai Weiwei and Robert Rauschenberg, says French, pay tribute to those modernists in recent work, though with different aims. Weiwei’s room-size political work “Forever,” a circular, hut-shaped assemblage of stacked, welded bikes, just completed a three-month run at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. French also cites Rauschenberg’s “Riding Bikes” in Berlin — two vertically mounted bikes outlined in neon-light tubing — and the innovative art bikes created for the Burning Man festival in Nevada. “Right now, the whole gearhead, steam-punk culture — in New Zealand, China, Europe — it’s that kind of thing [where] you think, Hmm, this is growing,” says French. For Zigmund, who commutes by bike to her Pine Street studio in Burlington, the competition was a well-timed opportunity to submit recent experiments. She had been working stained glass into the tiny spaces in bike-chain rings

and wanted to try framing glass with chains. Zigmund collects her bike parts at Skirack in Burlington — the store has a recycling program for disused metal components — and has a professional welder create the chain frames. The only artist with two winning works in Upcycle Art Bikes, Zigmund says that “Chain Rings 1” and “Chain Ring Landscape” were inspired by a mandala design and a Vermont landscape, respectively. “To me, biking is all about being outside. It’s a Zen thing for me,” she says. Whatever the intent of its individual works, Upcycle Art Bikes has tapped into a convergence of pleasures: art, biking and keeping cool fabricated items out of the landfill. m

ARCHITECTURE

urlington may not have much of a skyline, but a few of its taller architectural elements do command attention and admiration. One of those — the steeple of the College Street Congregational Church — soon will be restored to its position of prominence in the cityscape after a nearly three-year absence. The 60-foot octagonal spire topping the 150-year-old Gothic Revival building was destroyed in an early-morning fire set by an arsonist in October 2013. A replica of the original will be put in place by J.A. Morrissey contractors of Williston in late August. Barre-based SOUTHGATE STEEPLEJACKS is building the replacement in accordance with specs supplied by Burlington architect ANN VIVIAN. JAY SOUTHGATE, the company’s founder and owner, has restored or built 160 steeples over a 20-year career;

LISZT HISTORICAL RESTORATION (the owner, an amateur violinist, added a Z to his business name to link it with Hungarian composer Franz Liszt) is replacing some weakened gray marble quoins with darker stones near the top of the tower on which the steeple will sit. Mortar is being repointed there, as well.

TOM CORR, vice president of the restoration company, climbs down from the scaffolding around the tower to explain Liszt’s aims and methods. “Inappropriate maintenance over the years and plain lack of maintenance” account for the need to stabilize the tower before the steeple can be reerected, Corr says. “The fire didn’t help, either,” he notes. Vintage materials are being used to preserve the integrity of the original design, Corr adds. Replacements for the decaying

WHISKEY TANGO FOXTROT BY KEN PICARD

06.22.16-06.29.16 SEVENDAYSVT.COM SEVEN DAYS 28 WTF

’ve lived half my life in agricultural states and driven past more grain silos and fertilizer plants than I care to remember. Still, I’ve always wondered about the facility at the intersection of routes 7 and 17 in New Haven Junction. Its conical silver silos tower above the landscape like a giant Erector set. Yet the facility emits none of the noxious odors I associate with petrochemical plants. To satisfy my curiosity, last week I stopped by what is actually the Phoenix Feeds & Nutrition mill. I had no appointment, but Dave Santos, Phoenix’s co-owner, president and general manager, was kind enough to give me the “five-cent tour.” I got more than my money’s worth. Who knew that many of Vermont’s dairy cows are noshing on high-carb feed made from doughnuts, Twix bars and leftover Christmas candies? Or that the mill is powered mostly by renewable energy? More on that later. Santos, 52, is a Tulare, Calif., native who grew up in the San Joaquin Valley and has spent most of his professional life in animal nutrition. He founded Phoenix in 2004 with co-owner Craig Newton; today it produces feed for dairy cows, poultry and hogs. Santos and Newton opened this particular mill in 2006 in a former Omya calcium carbonate plant (closed since 1992). Phoenix relies heavily on the adjacent railroad for about half of its deliveries of soy, corn, canola and other grains. Santos handed me a hard hat, then led me inside a building that houses Phoenix’s new 150-foot grain elevator. Before it went up earlier this year, the company’s tallest was 90 feet. Why, I asked, are grain elevators built so tall? And what do all those pipes do? As Santos explained, this mill consists of 18 grain bins holding 100 tons apiece. The pipes contain augers and conveyor belts that carry grain to and from the bins. The elevators are so tall, he said, to help the grain flow better. Plus, as with an apartment building, vertical storage takes up less space on the ground. Like most nonfarmers, I had no idea of the extent of science and technology

involved in producing animal feed. Inside, we passed scores of pallets of bagged minerals, vitamins, amino acids and other ingredients. If grains are the “macros,” Santos explained, minerals and such are the “micros.” Each of 52 micro bins had a different label: “Mold Zap,” “Biotin,” “Vitamin B-20.” Animal nutritionists select each micro-ingredient to formulate a feed batch that complements the animals’ normal forage. “Everything we do is custom,” Santos said. “It’s all about making a pound of milk for the least possible cost for profitability, so these [farmers] can survive.” Phoenix itself isn’t just surviving but thriving. It started with just three employees and now employs 45, Santos said, and is growing by 8 percent annually. The timing of my visit was fortuitous, as Phoenix is currently upgrading to a totally automated system. Inside a control room, computer screens displayed the portion of each ingredient by weight — two tons of canola, a few pounds of urea, a splash of lime, a dash of salt. The components are blended, then loaded into delivery trucks. Inside an adjacent building, a front loader zipped back and forth, dumping grain into a hopper. This is the old system Phoenix is phasing out, Santos said, but it’s not exactly low-tech. As the loader passed, I noticed an iPad mounted on the dashboard. Santos said the driver can control the entire plant from his seat. From there, we walked across a dirt lot and into an old warehouse that had the sweet aroma of a bakery. I quickly learned why: Before us was a pile of partially shredded boxes of Tastykake doughnuts and cupcakes. Many hadn’t even reached their sell-by dates yet. As Santos explained, Phoenix buys baked goods that would otherwise be tossed away owing to manufacturing errors. A turbo separator removes the packaging, which gets baled and recycled. The remaining high-sugar-andcarb meal gets blended into feed mixes. “This is about 1,200 to 1,500 tons a month that would go to a landfill,” Santos noted. We passed several stalls, each with its own pleasant smell. One held

shredded cornmeal and bread; another, a brownish-white pile about the size of a Volkswagen Beetle. “Can you guess what’s in it?” Santos asked. I scooped a handful and sniffed it. “Cookies?” I guessed. Actually, it was chocolate-chip cookies, animal crackers and Twix bars, shipped from Hershey, Penn. The next bin held dyed-red meal. After Easter and Christmas, Santos said, tons of unsold candy would be discarded if Phoenix didn’t buy the holiday treats. The next bin was yellow tinged. “Doritos?” I asked. “No. Distiller grains,” Santos replied. “We’re just trying to be sustainable. It’s a tough industry and a shrinking industry. We have less farms every year in

Say you saw it in...

Vermont … so there are fewer farms for us to call on.” With a dozen or so other feed companies in Vermont, Phoenix does what it can to remain competitive. To that end, the company recently applied for a permit to build a five-acre solar array on-site. When the town rejected the application, Phoenix built an array in Bennington instead. Since going online in March, it has generated more than 70 percent of the electricity the company uses. That’s not exactly chicken feed. m

THE STRAIGHT DOPE BY CECIL ADAMS

Dear Cecil,

Modern ships run on fuel — a lot of fuel. Why not make large ships, like cruise ships and cargo transports, nuclear-powered? Xodiac

United States was now trying to keep the reins as tight as possible. To that end, Ike introduced his Atoms for Peace program, the aim of which was to spread globally the promise of a kinder, gentler split nucleus. We note here that Atoms for Peace has since been appropriated as the name of an alt-rock supergroup led by Radiohead’s Thom Yorke. Atoms for Peace was also propaganda — the Eisenhower initiative, that is, not the band. Ike hoped that by offering countries assistance in developing their nuclear energy capabilities, the U.S. might keep their sympathies firmly on the side of the West. He made recipient countries pinky-swear that they wouldn’t use the technology to develop a nuclear weapon, a geopolitical strategy that worked out about as well as you’d expect: The assistance set Iran down the weapons path and also helped Israel, India and Pakistan cook up bombs of their own. But I digress. Ike was also keen to prove the myriad ways that nuclear could benefit everyday Americans. Thus one

stateside AFP project was the NS Savannah, a civilian nuclear ship launched in 1959 as a harbinger of America’s rosy atomic future. Well, sort of, but honestly more like a preview of how slow the whole nuclear-merchant-marine concept would be to gain any kind of traction. Currently the Savannah is gathering dust in Baltimore, having remained in useful service for only 10 years. The vessel did fine technology-wise, but, configured as a hybrid of passenger ship and cargo ship, it fell short in both capacities — not really providing a model worth replicating. What’s been holding back nuclear merchant ships? There’s a matter of, for instance, customer queasiness. Talking to the magazine Maritime Executive in 2015, one industry consultant said, “When you ask educated, professional groups whether they believe we should become more reliant on nuclear power, 30-40 percent are positive. When you ask the same group if they would be prepared to take their family on holiday on a nuclear-powered cruise ship, the number drops to

years. The economics should continue to improve, too, as the world sees heavier regulation of fossil fuels, in the form of carbon taxes and the like. • Cheaper fuel means ships can travel faster — a boon in ways obvious (getting goods to market) and subtle (less susceptibility to pirate attacks). The technology is basically there, too. As I pointed out in a 2009 column, the bite-size nuclear reactors that may one day revolutionize power generation are still in early stages on land, but not at sea — the U.S. Navy’s been successfully powering submarines with small nukes for decades. And though there have been plenty of maritime accidents over those years, no leakage has ever resulted from a sunk nuclear reactor. We’ve seen increasing interest in the possibility of nuclear propulsion over the last several years, and one imagines companies will feel a further push from the Paris climate accord of 2015, which encouraged the development of nuclear technologies. So maybe hold on to that 27 grand for now, Xodiac — I suspect you’ll see your options expand, and cheapen, after not too long.

ood news, Xodiac: The future is now. As soon as this weekend, you yourself can set sail on the Russian craft 50 Years of Victory, the largest nuclear-powered icebreaker in the world, which, as a side gig, takes passengers cruising over the sunny North Pole. A stateroom’s yours for a cool $26,995, and the two-week package includes an open bar, hot-air balloon rides and the chance to see firsthand just how quickly climate change is rendering icebreakers obsolete. No wonder they’re turning to tourism. There is indeed something of a global existential need for technological advancement in this arena. And, admittedly, the non-Russian, non-icebreaking pickings are a little slim, as far as civilian nuclear-powered ships go, but there’s reason to think that’s about to change.

Otherwise, the challenges look logistically complex but certainly not insurmountable: rejiggering regulatory regimes, retrofitting ships, trying to figure out what to do with the nuclear waste (a problem, of course, not specific to shipping). And the benefits are significant: • Ship owners nowadays have resisted switching to cleaner-burning natural gas because of a lack of in-port infrastructure for refueling, and so commercial craft continue to burn the dirtier fossil fuels. Nuclear avoids the issue altogether: not only zero emissions, but no refueling for five to seven years at a time. • The startup costs of nuclear aren’t nothing — besides the reactor itself, there’s security, insurance, etc. —but Nuclear Engineering International estimates that, factoring in lower fuel costs, a given ship could break even within 10 to 20

t started as a boy-meets-girl story, as so many do. Once upon a time in Greece, Orpheus met, fell in love with and married Eurydice, a beautiful wood nymph. He was such a gifted musician, it is said, he could charm all living beings, not to mention gods and even stones. On their wedding day, according to one version of the myth, Eurydice was bitten by a snake and died. Grief-stricken, Orpheus traveled to the Underworld to get his wife back. His father, Apollo, called ahead to convince See Eva Sollberger’s Hades to listen to his son’s plea. video “Vermonters When Orpheus sang and played his lyre, Hades wept, and his wife, Persephone, toin Hadestown” at tally lost it.

But, jerk that he was, the king of the Underworld included one condition: If Orpheus turned back to look at Eurydice before they were both in daylight, she would be lost forever. Now, Orpheus was a brilliant musician, but he was not so good at being responsible or following instructions. Near the end of their long journey, he glanced back to see if Eurydice was following him, and she was immediately hauled into the Underworld, never to return. The distraught Orpheus proceeded to reject all other women, which turned out to be a poor decision, as well. But that’s another story.

Fast-forward about two and a half millennia. Vermont singer-songwriter Anaïs Mitchell was in the middle of recording her first album, The Brightness, for the label Righteous Babe when strange songs began to come to her. ANAÏS MITCHELL: It started in the random, cosmic way most art things start, I’d say: A few lines came into my head while I was on a long drive. I was just kinda getting going as a touring singer-songwriter then, and mostly playing solo. [The songs] seemed to be about the Orpheus myth.

The song “Hades & Persephone” appeared on The Brightness, which was produced by Vermont musiciancomposer Michael Chorney in the Bristmill studio in Bristol. Another of Mitchell’s early collaborators was Ben t. Matchstick, a longtime theater artist and Bread and Puppet Theater alum. As he accompanied Mitchell on one of her long drives, they began to envision some kind of a show — a whole performance based on the stories of Orpheus and Eurydice and Hades and Persephone. BEN T. MATCHSTICK: Crack in the Wall was the initial idea for a title. A week later, Anaïs said “Hadestown,”

and it brought a flood of all these images — a company town, labor history, Depression-era stuff. I started gravitating to characters who embodied these things. It’s hard to say what came first, the lyrics or the images.

Things evolved very quickly. Mitchell wrote more songs, and Matchstick developed characters and visual design. He rounded up a group of friends and, with just two weeks’ rehearsal, mounted a bare-bones production of Hadestown at Barre’s Old Labor Hall. Mitchell played Eurydice; Matchstick was Hermes, a messenger for Hades. Chorney’s then-current band, Magic City, supplied the orchestration. In a recent interview, Matchstick remembers this stage of the production as “raw” and “euphoric.” MITCHELL: There are aspects of the world of Hadestown that simply wouldn’t exist if not for Ben. I think it was he who suggested the role of “the Fates.” These are three fearsome women who comment darkly on everything. He’s a very politically committed artist and always pushed for the highlighting of the sociopolitical story alongside the love story. Mainly, in the early days, the inspiration for creating the piece was as much about the magic of the collaboration between myself, Ben and Michael as anything else. I wouldn’t have written it at all if I weren’t massively inspired by those guys and their artistry.

After the Vermont shows, Mitchell’s career as a singersongwriter accelerated. She toured extensively, sometimes with Chorney. Still, she kept working on Hadestown. And then came the recording.

MITCHELL: In 2007, in addition to me adding more songs, Michael added the viola to the orchestra, and Ben went deep into the postapocalyptic aspect of the world ... [It] was more sophisticated in terms of sets, lighting, props and staging concepts.

The Brightness was released in February. Later in the year, Mitchell obtained a creation grant from the Vermont Arts Council that facilitated a slightly more developed version of Hadestown. It was performed eight times in several Vermont locations, as well as in Somerville, Mass. Dan Bolles wrote about the “sprawling folk opera” in a cover story for Seven Days. He noted that Hadestown featured some of Mitchell’s finest songwriting to date — but also some of her least accessible. Mitchell told Bolles that creating the show was “a songwriter’s wet dream,” but she admitted that parts of it were abstract. While she didn’t want to sacrifice the work’s “poetic beauty,” she acknowledged that developing the characters and streamlining the story would enable the audience to better grasp the concepts. “I love to be invested in a story,” Mitchell said, “and musical theater has that power, because music expresses something that you can’t say in words or even show onstage.” Chorney’s genius as a composer and arranger contributed greatly to that expression, fleshing out Mitchell’s song demos and giving each of them distinct sounds.

Developing Hadestown for a potential off-Broadway show took “a lot more time, work and personnel than I could have imagined,” says Mitchell. In 2013, she began collaborating with Rachel Chavkin, an Obie-winning director, dramaturge and artistic founding director of Brooklyn-based company the TEAM. Suffice it to say they clicked. In Chavkin, Mitchell found a collaborator deeply immersed in the world of New York theater and musical-theater production. A number of sessions at the nonprofit New York Theatre Workshop ensued.

MITCHELL: The album ushered in another, different chapter of the project, the “music world” chapter. We were trying to figure out how to tour behind the album, and hit upon the idea of working with different guest singers and presenting the show as a concert. We did “New York City Sings Hadestown,” “California Sings Hadestown,” Colorado, Virginia, Alberta, Boston, Pacific Northwest, London and Glasgow. I might be forgetting some! Every time, we had seven new singers joining us onstage who had literally just learned their parts ... There was certainly some mayhem. There was a lot of great spirit, there was never enough money, and there were always just insane logistics. But I can say in hindsight, on balance, those shows were very magical, joyous occasions, and there are friendships and relationships and collaborations still going that began during those travels.

At one of those tour stops, Mitchell met Dale Franzen. A former opera singer and then director of the Broad Stage in Santa Monica, Calif., Franzen had heard the studio album of Hadestown and seen the concert version. As Mitchell puts it, Franzen “became committed to the idea of developing it into a full-length professional theater piece.”

DALE FRANZEN: I had been sent the CD and found myself listening to it and sharing with others, and we all loved the sound and couldn’t stop listening to it. After I saw Anaïs at McCabe’s [Guitar Shop] in Santa Monica, I knew this could become a show, and it turned out she was already thinking that way, so we began working together. I had performed the opera L’Orfeo and so was very familiar with the myths and the power of retelling these stories. I wanted nothing more than to bring this original, brilliant talent into the world of theater, where Anaïs wanted to roam. It has been a deep and gratifying pleasure to see her grow so uniquely with this new challenge.

In March 2010, Hadestown was released on Righteous Babe as a “concept album.” Alongside Mitchell as Eurydice, its 20 songs featured a gallery of well-known artists: label founder Ani DiFranco as Persephone, Bon Iver’s Justin Vernon as Orpheus, Greg Brown as Hades, Ben Knox Miller as Hermes and the Haden Triplets as the Fates. New York musician Todd Sickafoose produced the album at Brooklyn Recording. As always, Chorney supplied orchestral arrangements. The album won international raves. In its wake, Hadestown went on an unusual concert tour: Mitchell, Chorney and the band traveled to some 60 cities in the U.S., Canada and the UK, finding local singers in each location to perform the vocal roles.

MITCHELL: Other producers had reached out after the album’s release, but Dale was special — very passionate, very determined, ready to be in it for the long haul. She later partnered with Mara Isaacs, a New York-based producer, and the two of them partnered with New York Theatre Workshop for this developmental version of the show.

MITCHELL: Most of the workshops were fully cast in terms of actor-singers, and then there’d be a stripped-back version of the music — often just a music director accompanying on a piano. For each workshop, I’d be asked to do a bunch of writing and rewriting in response to feedback. That feedback came primarily from Rachel, but also from a professional dramaturge named Ken Cerniglia, whom the theater brought on board. And also from the producers, the

theater and the actors — a lot of feedback! But I think all the folks involved recognized that Hadestown was never going to fit a conventional model for musical theater. They were excited about taking it as far as it could go narratively without messing with its identity as a piece that is “more poetry than prose.” RACHEL CHAVKIN: Anaïs and I started with the album. We began by looking at what work was already being done by the extant songs, including character and story development, but also emotional and political themes. She was very clear this was a poetry versus a prose piece, and so it really was a question as to how little was necessary to carve the story. The two forms are so fundamentally different in terms of how time is experienced and how much moment-to-moment change is desirable. And then I led the selection of the design team and led multiple developmental workshops where we tried out the evolving score with performers.

One workshop, which took place at the Berkeley Repertory Theatre in California, focused on instrumentation and enabled Chorney to try out ideas for arrangements. Sickafoose became involved and began assembling a band for the New York show. It would include Chorney on prepared guitar, as well as Vermont bassist and longtime Chorney bandmate Robinson Morse.

How to get to Hadestown / You’ll have to take the long way down / Through the underground, under cover of night / Laying low, staying out of sight / Ain’t no compass, brother, ain’t no map / Just a telephone wire and a railroad track / But you keep on walking and you don’t look back / Till you get to the bottomland.

Summer 2016 Hadestown opened at New York Theatre Workshop on May 23. The media notices were immediate and positive. New York Times critic Charles Isherwood called the show a “gorgeously sung, elementally spare production.”

Some of the steps in the making of the musical can be seen in so-called Casebook sessions, which the NYTW details for the public on its Tumblr, complete with video footage. The mission is “to feed your curiosity and

MITCHELL: At first, I thought, OK, if we’re going to go further with this thing, all I’ve gotta do is write more songs. I’m a songwriter, so that was a familiar task. But at some point it became abundantly clear that new songs were not enough. Audiences were craving more story information from moment to moment. So one big change was to develop the Hermes character as a narrator. It’s a natural role for him, as he is, mythologically speaking, a “guide.” And it was really useful to have a character be able to simply explain what was happening.

In a June 9 feature in the Times — titled “Anaïs Mitchell Hopes to Change the World With Her First Musical” — Alexis Soloski calls the play “theatrically frisky and musically daring.” The Village Voice opines that “Hadestown is an underworld you won’t want to leave.” Other coverage has touched on the show’s timely aspects. In a recent interview in Vogue, Mitchell notes that she began writing Hadestown in response to George W. Bush’s reelection, which she viewed as a demoralizing turn of events. Little did she know that audiences in 2016 would hear Anaïs Mitchell her song “Why We Build the Wall” and immediately associate it with another political figure, Donald Trump. A more recent review in London’s the Guardian spells out that resonance clearly: “Mitchell’s hit off-Broadway show about a tyrannical billionaire building a wall to ‘keep out the enemy’ was written in 2006 but could hardly be more topical.” The show’s run has been extended twice — it’s currently set to conclude on July 31 — and the performers are put to the test with eight shows a week. Asked if that schedule is grueling, Chorney says no. “I wondered if it would be,” he admits, “but there are enough variables. The actors are so incredible — they try new things and mix it up. And the audience reaction has a huge impact.”

06.22.16-06.29.16

CHAVKIN: We were looking for actors with unusual instruments. Each voice you hear in the show is profoundly different and quite unique [and distinct] from the more polished sound you might expect to hear in a musical. There’s more gravel, more sense of wear. I’m more moved by someone whose voice is wholly their own than strictly perfect technique. And Anaïs was definitely skeptical of any choices, including casting, that might push the project towards a more homogenized, shiny feel.

continue the conversation beyond the theatre walls.” In one such Casebook session, the creative team assesses the dramatic functions of Mitchell’s Hadestown songs, even grouping them on a chart “according to emotions and themes.” That classification “later proved to be a pivotal moment in establishing the arc of the piece,” reads the blog post. The entire development period required a lot from Mitchell. Not only did she need to learn the ropes of professional musical theater, but she churned out more songs — the show now has 34, compared with the album’s 20 — and created more connective tissue for the story.

SEVENDAYSVT.COM

Finally, the New York Theatre Workshop deemed Hadestown production worthy — but not quite ready. Chavkin led the team through a new series of creative talks and preparations for staging, sets, costumes and props — the last of which would become the responsibility of another theater professional from Vermont, Noah Mease. One result of the long workshop process, Mitchell notes, was a “dream team” of actors who were familiar with the material. Among them was the fifth Vermont participant in Hadestown, singer-actor Shaina Taub, who plays one of the Fates.

CHARLES ISHERWOOD: Ms. Mitchell’s lovely music and well-turned lyrics are tightly bound together, and recall traditional folk music with a distinctive Southern flavor (although she hails from Vermont) … The orchestrations, by Michael Chorney and Todd Sickafoose, are simultaneously rich and spare, deftly echoing the sounds of traditional folk music while also having an indie-pop flair.

There’s nothing quite like sitting in the audience and witnessing that reaction first-hand, as this writer did last Friday. To a viewer who has seen a previous, Vermont incarnation of Hadestown, both evolution and continuity were evident in the production on New York’s Lower East Side. Director Chavkin and NYTW cleverly configured the company’s theater in the round for Hadestown, populating its tiered seating area with a motley collection of vintage chairs and cushions (one of prop master Mease’s tasks). The result is an intimate experience for the audience, as well as for the performers, who use the aisles and first tier in their staging. (Viewers in the front row need to watch their toes.) As Chorney indicates, Hadestown mixes things up — and in a dizzying number of ways. The songs, dispatched by a veteran ensemble of seven musicians and directed by Liam Robinson, are variously rendered in the style of indie folk, rollicking New Orleans jazz, soaring ballads and edgy 1930s-style tunes that recall The Threepenny Opera. The Guardian review suggests that the show has a more “serious sheen” than the earthier album. That may be true, but it’s to be expected in an off-Broadway-maybegoing-to-Broadway show for which audiences pay fat ticket prices. In this viewer’s opinion, the music of Hadestown now is

even more engaging and, at times, utterly thrilling. Costumes cross eras, too: a pastiche in which vintage accoutrements mix with modern ones such as Eurydice’s Keds sneakers and Hermes’ hipster watch chains. (Note: Absolutely no one is clad in Grecian robes.) The set is exceedingly minimal — more like a circus ring into which drama, dancing and singing are thrust. Then there are the historical overlays. Hadestown is based on ancient myths, yet it reimagines Hades — the place — as a clanking steel town with oppressed workers and an authoritarian overlord. The era is intentionally ambiguous, yet the parameters of greed and power fit any age. The lack of linear storytelling in Hadestown may be disconcerting to those who like their narratives neat, their endings happy. But the performances are ample compensation for any lapses in logic. Hades the king, nattily clad all in black and performed with sexy chill by New York stage veteran Patrick Page, has an impossibly deep voice. Think Leonard Cohen meets Tommy Lee Jones. Persephone, a thoroughly enchanting Amber Gray, matches her king with saucy attitude (and, occasionally, a bottle of hooch), even if she is his captive most of the year.

The Fates — Taub, Jessie Shelton and Lulu Fall — deliver flawless harmonies with glee, while Chris Sullivan nearly steals the show as a shuffle-dancing, growly-voiced Hermes. Nabiyah Be and Damon Daunno, as Eurydice and Orpheus, play the sweetly flawed lovers, and both have luminous, angelic voices. Ironically, their characters’ love story is the least interHadestown esting of all Hadestown’s threads, even if their sad fate is the show’s denouement. Perhaps their story absorbs us less because its conclusion is foregone; we know that Orpheus will always look back. It’s hard not to notice that the central female characters, Eurydice and Persephone, are totally screwed — one by a romantic slacker, the other by an abductor. This Underworld depicted as a workers’ hellhole is none too cheery, either. Hadestown was never meant to be a feel-good

trio of primates has been turning heads and creating quite a scene on Langdon Street in Montpelier. Two chimpanzees and an orangutan swing on a painted vine that appears to stretch from a building to an electrical pole. The stenciled creatures are the work of DJ Barry, the first graffiti stylist approved by city officials. Barry’s is one of eight pieces that have been installed on Langdon Street as part of Langdon Street Alive, a public arts project. By the end of this month, 16 artworks, including sculptures, photographs, paintings and assemblages on buildings, are expected to be on display. This isn’t the first time Langdon Street has been a focal point for arts and culture in the capital. Locals know it as the former site of Langdon Street Café, which closed in 2011 after “a remarkable six-and-a-half-year run that revitalized and defined the Montpelier music and arts scene,” Dan Bolles wrote in this paper at the time. Today, the street still hosts live music at Sweet Melissa’s, which occupies the café’s old spot. Langdon Street Alive is the brainchild of architect Ward Joyce; it’s his third public-space project in Montpelier. Joyce led the efforts to build the Rialto Bridge Parklet in 2014 and the Montpelier Pocket Park last year. He described those two projects as a “takeback-the-streets movement by citizens that say our cities are way too dominated by parked cars.” The parklet and pocket park were designed to be places where people could pause to take in the sights and meet over ice cream or pizza, he noted. Designed and built by Vermont Technical College students, both projects were examples of “tactical urbanism” — that is, low-cost, high-impact rapid rollouts, not designed to be permanent, that aesthetically improve public spaces. Though the parklet received pushback from business owners — and its lease has ended — the park has been more successful. Residents water the plants, play on the giant chessboard, eat their lunches or read books there. “We’re trying to find creative ways to reshape the city to make it a place where

everyone wants to come and hang out,” Joyce said. Following the success of the pocket park, he wanted to help fulfill the potential of one-block Langdon, which he called the city’s “most charming street.” To that end, Joyce raised $45,000 from various sectors of Montpelier, with the National Life Group Foundation, Pyralisk Arts Center, Myles Court Barbershop and city government among the biggest contributors. Joyce spent about $20,000 to commission 16 sitespecific pieces to fill the 300-foot-long street with public art throughout the summer. “We had to balance aesthetics, quality and cost, and it was tough,” he said. Among the artworks are a 16-by-24inch mural of trees by Candy Barr and Julia Purinton; a black-and-white gallery of local portraits by John Snell and Rob Spring; Naima Green’s 120-foot “floral bridge,” a decoration of the street’s eponymous structure; and Barry’s trio of primates.

When Barry, 31, pitched his stencil graffiti to Joyce, he didn’t yet know how to execute it, he said. So the Middlesex artist, who became interested in stenciling three years ago, watched hundreds of videos and practiced at home in different weather conditions. Luckily for Barry, he’s used to working at high elevations; his previous job required him to check surveillance cameras 30 feet in the air. Barry had proposed stenciling one ape in an inconspicuous location, but Joyce couldn’t get permission from the structure’s owner. Instead, he secured approval for a more prominent building and asked Barry to add two more primates. The artist took three weeks to prepare the stencils. Then, with the help of his wife, Cindy, he spent six hours on a lift completing his artwork. “I’m extremely happy with the outcome,” Barry said. “I want to be outside and spraying more murals.” His work has earned him praise among the young. “Seeing a 10-year-old boy walk

down and go, ‘Look at the monkeys!’ and that excitement, that’s exactly why I picked this type of piece,” Barry said. The artist, an IT employee at Central Vermont Medical Center, also contributed a second artwork to Langdon Street Alive. It’s an experimental stencil piece called “Deconstruction of Vader,” which Barry made by using the same stencil several times while shifting its position and hiding different sections with tape, so that the piece appears to have been digitalized. Younger artists have also been invited to take part in Langdon Street Alive. Students from Montpelier High School produced small paintings that are displayed below Barr and Purinton’s billboard mural. Joyce’s 17-year-old son, Zebadiah Cousins-Joyce, said he and his friends will paint the street’s Dumpsters graffiti-style. Besides admiring the artwork, residents and visitors can look forward to community activities on Langdon Street, such as a gathering of vintage

Essentially, conceptual humor pieces are brief, 1,000 words or less, and have an unexpected central concept or premise. And, obviously, it needs to be funny. There are enough sarcastic mommy and daddy blogs out there; the world doesn’t need one more. What there isn’t enough of is sharp and knowing criticism from the inside.

n June 6, 2015, in Burlington, Swale guitarist/website developer Eric Olsen and writer/ creative director Kimberly Harrington gave virtual birth to a bundle of joy named Razed. One year later, their baby — a website “focused on conceptual humor related to parenting” — is growing like a weed. In the tradition of Timothy McSweeney’s Internet Tendency, Razed rocks the cradle, offering both style and substance. No stock photos on the site, only sublime illustrations. Submission guidelines ask for “Original voices. Weird ideas. Laughing.” Content includes the hilarious category of “Pro/Con,” pieces in which writers/parents talk themselves into/out of an idea. There is no sacred territory on Razed, as evidenced by “Snip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah: A Vasectomy Playlist,” written by Olsen himself and including songs such as “It’s the End of the World as We Know It (And I Feel Fine)” by R.E.M. Harrington frequently delivers her own doozies, as in “An Open Letter to My Kids About How I’ll Never Write Them Another Open Letter”:

SD: What are some of the pros/cons (to use a Razed conceit) of being the brains behind Razed? EO: We’re making something I would be bookmarking and reading if I weren’t part of it, and I’m proud of that. I’d love to be able to pay our contributors, but, hey, maybe a wealthy and benevolent overlord will fund us just for kicks, and we can pay everyone, including us. And have little umbrellas in our drinks. That happens, right?

Eric Olsen and Kimberly Harrington

SD: How much time per week do you each devote to the website? Is it like having another child? KH: I probably spend about five hours a week editing. Responding to submissions and social media take[s] up additional time throughout the week. Thankfully, I don’t have to feed the site with my breasts, so, no, not like another child. But, yes, like another child in that I think we’d both like to pay more attention to it, but we’re highly distracted by other things, like making a living. We’re being the best parents to Razed that we can be right now.

KH: I feel like we’re building this virtual community of witty and talented smart-asses all around the globe. The downside for me is that I’ve had a lot going on since Razed launched. And Eric’s in the same boat, except I think he’s in, like, 11 and a half bands now. What I’m saying is, our spouses hate us. SD: What do you look for in submissions? Do you receive a lot? Do you reject a lot? KH: Submissions need to be conceptual humor related to parenting, full stop. If it’s a personal essay, a poem or something that would be at home on a blog, it’s not for us. We look for smart, weird, unexpected pieces. We receive two to five submissions a week — which, as a site that only publishes once a week, is plenty for us. We reject about 75 percent of the submissions we receive.

orset Theatre Festival’s production of Table Manners is one delicious excuse to laugh. Six characters, hilariously unaware of their own flaws, represent two marriages grown stale and one courtship that can’t get off the ground. It’s 1973 and love is all around, but seduction — let alone romance — isn’t easy. Using the same actors and design team, three of Vermont’s professional theater companies are each staging a piece of Alan Ayckbourn’s trilogy The Norman Conquests this season, and now it’s Dorset’s turn. The buoyant production is a showcase of excellent direction and ensemble acting. The trilogy takes place over one weekend in July. Each play stands on its own, depicting the same characters as they occupy different locations around an English country house. Some events are simultaneous, so an exit from one

6/17/16 2:49 PM

play becomes an entrance in another. The characters shuttle between the lounge (Living Together, produced by Northern Stage in April), the terrace (Round and Round the Garden, coming up at Weston Playhouse in July) and the dining room, for Table Manners. Ayckbourn’s play is a prefeminist artifact of the 1970s, so please suspend modern moral judgment to keep the humor alive. Sarah and husband Reg have come down to the family home to give Reg’s sister, Annie, a break from her responsibilities as their mother’s caretaker. Annie’s intended holiday is with, of all people, her sister Ruth’s husband. That would be Norman. And it wouldn’t suit Sarah at all; she’d prefer Annie set her sights on Tom, the neighbor who’s as romantic as his Wellington boots. When the hoped-for tryst is canceled, all six characters are stuck together

for the weekend, simmering in family tension and jealousy, neatly spiked by Norman’s willingness to flirt with any woman he sees, including his wife. Great comedy always looks effortless, but every reaction, gesture and beat must be fitted with a jeweler’s precision. That’s what director Evan Yionoulis supplies to create this rollicking production. Her ability to focus our attention on telling details in scenes that verge on slapstick is wondrous. The play is not a farce, but Ayckbourn honors the tradition with outsize characters. Sarah is so highstrung that her anxiety is audible, and Caitlin Clouthier shines in the role. When Reg yells at her, Clouthier takes all the time in the world to heave a sigh, rest a hand on the chair in front

Practice has made the accents perfect. Serviceable in the first production, the English accents are now stunningly accurate and unforced. It’s the difference between conscious attention and natural ease. David L. Arsenault’s impressive set design takes advantage of Dorset’s big proscenium to angle the room, defining strong diagonals in a formal space made orderly by paneled walls and a long antique dining table. The wall separating the room from the garden features a grand French door flanked by window seats — which Yionoulis exploits when characters need somewhere to sulk. Stuart Duke’s lighting is every bit as essential as the set design in conveying the architectural shape of the room. And Duke’s superb expression of the time of day clarifies the arc of the weekend all on its own. The well-thought-out costumes, by Charles Schoonmaker, are designed to elicit some winces over 1970s style while smartly defining the characters. Norman’s ability to wear those particular pajamas with pride offers as much insight into the man as his lines do. Reg’s wide ties and Sarah’s hostess-with-the-mostest dresses are a time capsule that is fun to open. Even the curtain call continues to tell the story, and as Friday’s opening night audience enthusiastically applauded, the characters didn’t stop their flirtatious shenanigans. If you don’t want it to end, it doesn’t have to — the third part of the trilogy opens at Weston Playhouse on July 21. m

of her, inch her shoulder still closer to her ear and tap one finger as she marshals the resolve necessary to tell him, in the lowest of voices, never to speak to her that way. She’s a master of the comic beat. As the indefatigable Norman, Richard Gallagher is a hilarious bundle of enthusiasm. When Norman manages to infuriate everyone — you need to have seen Living Together to know precisely why, but the details don’t matter — Gallagher handles his effort to overcome their silent treatment at breakfast as the game he’s always wanted to play. And every time Norman tests someone’s patience, Gallagher proves he has to be forgiven. The cast is a true ensemble, building scenes together and honoring each other’s littlest pauses and biggest takes. Jenni Putney, as Annie, is a delight as she carefully decides which battles to pick, conceding defeat with a shuffle and a sigh until she finally stands her ground. Playing Ruth, Ashton Heyl integrates her character’s cavalier attitude toward Norman’s infidelity with a merciless willingness to annoy her husband. A play set in a dining room is a good excuse to make one character hungry the whole time. With equal gusto, Mark Light-Orr presents Reg’s two appetites, for food and for the braying laughs of his own doltish bonhomie. Ever oblivious, his Reg has the nonstop affability of a golden retriever that’s always in the way. David Mason captures Tom’s nutty shyness by adding a gentle stammer — it’s his thoughts, not his tongue, that trip him up. In the Northern Stage production, Mason had the character veer toward idiocy to show his social shortcomings; now he’s seized on the British reserve that freezes Tom in the headlights of oncoming love. It’s well done, and if this reviewer’s interpretation is correct, it’s an example of the cast refining their characters through the three-play journey.

Most farms in Vermont aren’t geared toward production-by-the-pallet. And wholesale markets aren’t structured to accept relatively small amounts of food that’s diverse in quality and unpredictable in quantity. To stock shelves with fresh local food, they might need to source from dozens of farms within a day or two of harvest. And for most grocery chains, that’s just not possible.

To illustrate the value of face-to-face contact between consumers and food producers, Claro orchestrated a pointof-sale role-play. Playing the “farmer” was Karen Guile, a third-generation Northeast Kingdom potato farmer. Her family business — Peaslee’s Vermont Potatoes — produces 1.5 million pounds of potatoes annually on 60 acres in Guildhall. “What kind of potatoes are these?” a “farmers market consumer” asked her. “These are probably Yukon golds,” Guile said, turning a spud in her fingers.

The potatoes are produced naturally, with care for the land. But certifying them as “organic” would require the farm to take tilled land out of production for three years. “That’s not realistic for us,” Guile said. “But we don’t spray [pesticides] or anything like www.UVPGroup.com that.” The “consumer” asked about cost, then “purchased” a five-pound bag. Untitled-64 1 6/20/16 1:40 PM In this direct-sales model, Claro said, it’s easy for customers to learn more about what they’re buying and to make informed decisions. Even when few words are exchanged, interacting with a farmer face-to-face gives consumers far more information than they’ll get from a silent bin of russets in the produce aisle. Lacking source-identifying signage, like the ones at co-ops and community markets, consumers have to make an effort to learn where their food comes from. That might be somewhere like Peaslee’s, which is large enough to Vote for Barrio! distribute potatoes to a few wholesale accounts.

Later in the panel, Claro paired Guile with a student “consumer” and Saint Michael’s College dining ser12v-barrio062216.indd 1 6/20/16 1:13 PM vices manager Brian Roper, who buys about 15 percent of the school’s food from local sources through Sodexo’s Vermont First program. “I’ll often have conversations with farmers,” Roper said. “Like, ‘I’m really looking for a local potato, maybe something I can cut into French fries.’” When sevendaysvt.com SEVENDAYSVT.COM

any Vermonters see labeling GMO foods as essential to building a sustainable food system. But food values researcher Rachel Ankeny doesn’t buy it. “Labeling everything is not an answer,” said the professor from Australia’s University of Adelaide, addressing hundreds of local food advocates at the University of Vermont’s Food Systems Summit last Wednesday, June 15. “That’s money being spent in a particular way, in the name of [consumers] having more choice,” she went on. “Choice is not the answer.” Last week, UVM’s two-day food systems summit — the school’s fifth — brought more than 300 food policy students, researchers, advocates and farmers from around the country and world to talk local food and address the question: “What makes food good?” Short answer? Depends on whom you ask. In a breakout workshop after Ankeny’s morning talk, Vermont Farm to Plate project manager Jake Claro posed the summit’s central question to a couple dozen panel attendees, including a boisterous set of student farmers from UVM’s Catamount Farm. “What are some values that are really important to you [for food]?” Claro asked. The crowd dutifully chimed in with ideas about environmental responsibility, locality, freshness, justice, health, flavor … and, eventually, affordability. “Production in a way that preserves the working landscape,” added one of the UVM farmer-bros. But at the mass-market institutions and grocery stores that feed most Vermonters, logistics and price points tend to be the main priorities. If something can’t come to the store via warehouse, loading dock and pallet, it likely won’t appear in the store at all. Therein lies one of local food’s major problems.

Good Food Ain’t Easy « P.43 a farmer says she’s got the goods, Roper’s first question isn’t about process or land stewardship. It’s: “What distributor do you use?” When Guile responded that she works with Black River Produce, Roper was thrilled. “Great! They have a truck that stops here six days a week.” His next step, he said, would be to get on the horn and ask his Black River contact for however many pounds of Peaslee’s potatoes — every week for the next nine months. If his first question to farmers is logistical, Roper’s second question is about cost. Inevitably, small-scale products from a land-stewarding local cost more than mass-produced ones from commodity markets. But Roper said he’s willing to shuffle things in his budget to prioritize local foods. “Maybe I run bacon [for breakfast] twice a week instead of three times,” Roper said. “It’s a delicate balance of looking at the menu, looking at costs and deciding where we can cut back to fit local foods in.” Even with the shifting and shuffling, Roper said, “We end up spending more money when there’s more local produce available.” But, given more information about where their food comes from, many students choose local. “Would you be willing to pay a premium for those potatoes?” Guile asked the student “consumer.” “If I knew I was supporting the only female potato farmer in America, I’d go for it,” the student said. “Because, honestly, that’s important to me.”

FEEDING THE MASSES In a panel later on Wednesday afternoon, Intervale Center farm business specialist Sam Smith explained that institutions like St. Mike’s represent a big piece of the food-systems puzzle. “Institutions and distributors are looking at their price sheets,” Smith said, “and they’re buying the more expensive thing. Without that happening, this whole [local food] thing wouldn’t have gotten off the ground.” Even so, not all farms are suited to working with large accounts — they need to be able to provide the right products in the right quantity. As Sodexo Vermont First coordinator Annie Rowell explained in Claro’s distribution workshop, good bets are products that can be grown in volume, store well and are in high demand in institutional kitchens.

“Potatoes are a good example,” Rowell said. “It’s a product we use across all of our accounts.” Guile, of Peaslee’s Potatoes, attested that, for her, accessing larger markets meant increasing her tilled acreage. “We needed to scale up to save the family farm,” she said. “Via Sodexo, I was able to sell to UVM and a few other outlets. We could plant this stuff and know where it was going — and, hopefully, not have bins of potatoes left over.” The afternoon panel, moderated by Kristina Sweet of the Vermont Agency of Agriculture, Food & Markets, looked at farm viability through the lenses of economics, market innovation and entrepreneurship. Often, a farm can become more viable by selling more product in multiple venues, Smith said. “Farmers need to grow appropriate crops for their land base and sell some to premium markets [such as farmers markets], then get rid of the rest in secondary markets,” he said. Salvation Farms founder Theresa Snow spoke to the value of those “secondary markets.” Her organization supplies many of them using its statewide gleaning operations, which “rescue” millions of pounds of food from farm fields and processing facilities. Vermont farms lose around 3 million pounds of salable produce every year, Snow said. Salvation Farms diverts that waste to wholesale outlets such as state-run institutions and the Vermont Foodbank. While those markets pay less than a retail customer or co-op might, they represent a new income stream for farmers. And they provide fresh local food to schoolkids, prison inmates and food-shelf beneficiaries, who often lack choices about what they eat. “This is about pushing for new markets,” Smith said, “and pushing farmers to produce to these new markets.” If producers can’t align themselves with demand, everyone loses.

THE LOCAL-WHEAT BEAT A late-afternoon panel took a closer look at a market that could expand in coming years. While consumers have long been interested in farm-fresh tomatoes, peppers, greens and meats, fewer have sought out locally grown grains. “I can get everything on my plate locally, except the grain,” said Amy

Halloran, author of The New Bread Basket (Chelsea Green, 2015), who moderated the panel on northeastern cereal grain production. Though Halloran sees grain as “the last leg of the locavore revival,” she admits it’s not a glamorous crop. While fresh produce benefits noticeably from careful cultivation, “it’s hard to make a crop distinction with grains,” she said. Therefore, she said, “It’s hard to get consumers interested in where their wheat comes from.”

expanded its wheat-flour production to meet Red Hen’s needs. In Lamoille County, wood-fired bakery Elmore Mountain Bread entered a similar arrangement with nearby Rogers Farmstead the same year. “We buy their whole [wheat] crop,” said baker Blair Marvin at the panel. Marvin takes the process a step further and buys whole wheat berries, which she and her husband mill into flour themselves. They use the Rogerses’ Vermont wheat exclusively in oblong loaves of Redeemer wheat bread. Both bakers represent a new model in the bread world. “This is a unique opportunity,” George said. “Wheat is everywhere, and we don’t think much about its source. To really know the farmer, to be able to give them feedback about what needed to happen [in the field and mill] for the wheat to perform properly — that’s unusual.” It’s asking something of customers, too. Though local wheat is similar in quality to midwestern varieties, it has different flavor nuances. “Maybe [my bread] tastes a little different than it did last week,” Marvin said, “because it’s a different variety of wheat from a different source.” She had to “retrain” her customer base to accept some variability in her loaves, she said. “I do all my deliveries so I can tell people about this,” she said. “We’re in this time where these conversations are being had.” Halloran had her doubts about the future of this crop. “There’s no social cachet with wheat … People don’t have warm, fuzzy feelings about flour,” she said. “And you guys are making this whole economic devotion—” “But people get it,” George interrupted, “and they taste the difference. That’s what ultimately hooks people,” he said. “It’s gotta be good bread.” As the session wrapped up, the bakers cut into two fresh loaves, baked earlier that day in Elmore and Middlesex. The bread was crusty, moist and sturdy with fragrant, wheaty flavor. Workshop participants lingered and nibbled, chatting with the bakers until both loaves were gone.

More and more northeastern farmers are growing grains, from New York to Québec to Maine to Vermont. But in a humid, hilly landscape with short summers and turbulent weather, grain production is tough. And economies of scale demand that grains be grown in quantity, given the processing required to render them usable. Still, Vermont’s local grain market has been gaining steam since Ben Gleason of Gleason Grains planted his wheat field in Addison County in 1981. With the formation of the Northern Grain Growers Association in 2004, grain quality has steadily improved, said Red Hen Baking co-owner Randy George. Red Hen partnered with a farm in Québec in 2014 and now sources about 85 percent of its wheat within 150 miles of the bakery. The farm has

Simard, of food truck the LAZY FARMER, has been building out the restaurant since last winter, with kitchen support from sous-chef ANDREW WYSLOTSKY. Besides pickles, their menu offers fries and curds that melt together with gravy whisked from smoker drippings. Smoked-trout hush puppies arrive with citrus aioli for dipping, while tangy mustardseed sauce enlivens the pork-belly lettuce wraps. Mouth watering yet? Those are just the starters.

These issue from an open kitchen in sandwiches or paired with mix-andmatch sides such as potato salad dressed with mustard grains, corn bread with honey butter, maple baked beans, mac and cheese, smoky braised greens, or cider vinegar slaw. Then there are the birds. “I am so excited to share the fried chicken,” Simard says. He describes it as buttermilk-brined, then double-dipped and fried to a crusty, spice-tinged crunch. Simard toyed endlessly with the recipe while on the road with his truck, which still makes occasional stops around Chittenden County. Inspired meat-free options include smoked polenta with braised greens, white-bean gravy and poached egg; and an open-faced sandwich stacked with smoked oyster mushrooms. Drinks at the 10-table restaurant will include a handful of wines by the glass, two draft beers (currently Lagunitas

had already eaten a potato-and-bacon cake topped with sour cream and dotted with chive blossoms; crabmeat perched on sushi rice with toasted nori and avocado; and a few bites of tender pork tostada with smoked-tomato sauce, corn and black beans. I was under the impression that I was full. A plate of goat “Wellington” was still to come, though, and I figured I could eat just a little more. I awaited its arrival with drink in hand — a combination of whiskey, orange peel and just the right amount of elegant St-Germain elderflower liqueur — and soaked in the welcome early evening warmth as I scanned the sights of Randolph’s Merchants Row. Black Krim Tavern, named for an heirloom tomato, has been around for more than five years, a long stretch for a farm-to-table restaurant in a town with a population of fewer than 5,000. Operated by chef-owner Sarah Natvig, Black Krim serves vegetables from its very own farm — Pebble Brook in Brookfield, run by Natvig’s husband, Chip — and meat sourced mainly from friends and neighbors. To keep up with the ever-changing local supply, Sarah Natvig creates an entirely new menu each week. In spring, she highlights the first crisp and fiery radishes. Now she’s preparing for the transition to mid-season crops, such as cucumbers and tender young squash. And dealing with the influx of greens. “We’ve got five kinds that are coming in: kale, chard, mesclun, spinach and lettuce,” she says. Meanwhile, the promise of tomatoes drifts on the horizon. With hardly any storage space and a need to minimize costly waste, the only sensible choice is to rotate the menu, says Natvig, who also craves the opportunity to keep learning skills in the kitchen. Her background includes 15 years of studying and working at the New England Culinary Institute, mostly in the realm of restaurant management. At her restaurant’s inception, she didn’t consider herself a chef, Natvig says. But after a

don’t fit the bill. SHY GUY GELATO, a new, small-batch gelato business from TIM ELLIOTT and PAUL SANSONE, is dedicated to getting it right. Two years ago, Elliot was working at Burlington’s ZABBY & ELF’S STONE SOUP when Sansone began visiting with homemade gelato samples. “I was busy,

but one day he brought me in a sample of cornflake gelato,” Elliott recalls. “That changed my mind.” Sansone grew up with an enthusiasm for food inspired by his Italian American heritage, then spent years cooking in restaurants. Five years ago, he bought a one-way ticket to

Abruzzo. He spent a year cooking across Italy, then returned to Jericho with an itch to re-create the gelato he loved, using Vermont ingredients and Italian technique. “I loved the idea of learning something abroad and bringing it back to the place I grew up,” says Sansone, a Jericho native. “When you make something you love, you’re handing [that love] out to people.” In March 2015, the duo began developing recipes in

“divorce” from her original business partner, it was a role she needed to fill. “I just had to [cook],” she says. “I realized either I’m going to figure out the food thing, or I’m not going to have a restaurant anymore.” So she made her way behind the stove. And that’s how I ended up with my plate of tender goat, its garnish of asparagus spears and a quenelle of portobella pâté streaked with golden evening sunlight. My first forkful wedded smashed potatoes with lush confited meat from Randolph’s Ayers Brook Goat Dairy, which arrived at the restaurant by way of Vermont Chevon. The latter business aggregates goats from dairy operations — mostly young bucks born to milking does — brings them to be processed and distributes the meat to restaurants. All of a sudden, my hunger came roaring back. If my dinner date noticed that each time he turned his head, the bowl inched closer to my side of the table, he was polite enough not to mention it. Because of Black Krim’s ever-evolving menu, future diners won’t find this particular goat Wellington. And for that, I am sorry. But here’s why it’s a good thing: When chefs run their restaurants the way Natvig does hers, you never have to worry about getting the sad vestiges of something wilting its way into oblivion. Plenty of other places offer the tried and true. Fresh food, prepared with creativity, is the name of the game here. And next week, Natvig says, there’s gonna be rabbit.

This July, Shy Guy Gelato will move into the former Panacea Pizza space on Burlington’s St. Paul Street. (Panacea closed earlier this spring; its owners are seeking a new location.) While Shy Guy’s South End location will be dedicated to gelato production,

Society

REASON HERE: not a good fit for previous household SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS: daily medication for hypothyroidism

SUMMARY: Lovely Leslie is as cute as they come! She’s a lover of soft blankets, rawhides, and lounging around! Leslie is

looking for a new home where she can bask in all there is to love about being a dog. She’d love to go for hikes where she can sniff all the wonderful smells of Vermont and end the day relaxing for a movie!

DOGS/CATS: Leslie lived with a dog before and did well, but sometimes she can be choosy about dog friends. She hasn't

been around cats and will likely do best in a home without them. She hasn't been around children and it takes her some time to warm up. Visit Leslie at HSCC, 142 Kindness Court, South Burlington, Tuesday through Friday from 1 to 6 p.m., or Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Call 862-0135 for more info.

“bedtime.” Stonecutter’s road map for this whiskey aggregates several classic traditions: “It’s distilled like bourbon, aged like Irish whiskey and finished like Scotch,” Stewart says. “We’re looking at these practices and combining them in ways they haven’t been combined before.” Throughout the process, Stewart and Cotel carefully control the temperature and flood the aging room with fresh air to give the finished product the taste of Vermont terroir (“air-oir”?). To celebrate its new release, the distillery will host a public party on Friday, June 24, complete with a cocktail competition, soda from SAVOURÉ and frozen treats from LU•LU ice cream, both of Bristol. Chef Julia Clancy (yes, the same one who writes for Seven Days) will be on hand serving barbecue.

Before receiving her college degree, she earned a culinary arts certificate from the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, N.Y. “I grew up around food and always loved it,” she says. Her parents ran a bed-and-breakfast, coffee shop and golf course restaurant on Cape Cod before founding Stefanie’s Clam Chowder. Wright’s uncle and aunt, CHRIS and MARY ELLEN ALBERTI, own PEASANT restaurant in Waitsfield. In 2011, Wright moved to Vermont to help her sister and brother-in-law open HOSTEL TEVERE in Warren, then spent three years as head baker at ZABBY & ELF’S STONE SOUP in Burlington. “My parents

This year, the Vermont Quilt Festival marks its 40th anniversary. The annual event, which takes over the Champlain Valley Exposition every summer, provides a patchwork array of fiber vendors, workshops with leading quilters, exhibits, appraisals and more. The party kicks off with the announcement of the quilt contest winners and Ruby Jubilee Champagne preview on Thursday evening. On Friday, needle-and-thread enthusiasts can look forward to a unique showing of art quilts by Ruth B. McDowell, whose work has been displayed internationally. “Life’s Work” stitches together 30 years’ worth of quilts into one gallery. McDowell’s lovingly crafted creations, depicting all type of flora and fauna (and the occasional sap bucket) are a testament to traditional techniques — and works of art in their own right.

JUNE 24-26 | FAIRS & FESTIVALS

Vermont has three state rocks: marble, slate and granite. That’s because, in the not so distant past, mines throughout the state carved out tons of the stuff for use around the country. Barre, known for its granite quarries, once employed scores of Irish and Italian immigrants. They turned the town from a 2,000-person village in 1830 to a bustling economic center boasting 11,754 residents by 1900. RockFire, now in its fifth year, celebrates that history. And the three-night festival of art, music and history takes the party right to the source: the abandoned granite quarries. Throughout the weekend, exhibits at the historic Socialist Labor Party Hall and the Vermont Granite Museum shed light on the town’s past. But the party really gets going on the pyrotechnic promenade of the Millstone Trails. Lit by hundreds of luminaries, the path leads to 10 stages featuring live, molten-metal pours by the Iron Guild, and musical performances from Bow Thayer and more.

ROCKFIRE Friday, June 24, through Sunday, June 26, at various times and locations in Barre. $10-25. Info, 476-8188. rockfirevt.com

Fresh veggies and other goodies from farmers market vendors give the shindig its signature twist.

ost Vermont music festivals tout some sort of theme or progressive mission beyond simply presenting good tunes. The Manifestivus in Cabot, for example, bills itself as “a local festival with a global vibe,” referencing not just an affinity for worldly sounds but an outward worldview. SolarFest in Manchester shines a light on sustainable energy along with up-andcoming local and regional acts. The Eat More Kale festival in Montpelier adds a side of bitter, leafy greens to its sweet locavore music fare. But there’s probably only one Vermont festival with its own 10-point manifesto: the Frendly Gathering. Like those other festivals, the Gathering, which runs Thursday through Saturday, June 23 through 25, at Timber Ridge in Windham, has an ancillary ambition: making frends. And perhaps driving orthographically persnickety folks crazy with that phantom I. The misspelling is intentional: According to the festival’s motto, “There is no I in frends.” The aforementioned manifesto outlines the 10 tenets of “frendship” that serve as the Gathering’s guiding principles. They include passion, mutual accountability, collaboration, humility, honesty, integrity, inclusivity, selflessness, revelry and respect. In other words, don’t be a jackass. That sentiment may be music to the ears of those who have logged a lot of time on the festival circuit, where jackassery can be as plentiful as sick jams. But deviation from the norm is no surprise at the Frendly Gathering — which, ever since its inception, has had a slightly different vibe from other festivals. Probably because it wasn’t really designed as a festival. Although Frendly opened its gates to the public in 2011,

the first Gathering had actually taken place the previous year. More of an informal party than a music festival, it was a way for cofounders Danny Davis and Jack Mitrani to stay connected with their globe-trotting friends. Mitrani and Davis are professional snowboarders. In 2010, a group of their snowboarding pals, dubbed the Frends Crew, was headed to the winter Olympic Games in Vancouver. Frends Crew member Kevin Pearce had recently suffered a traumatic brain injury while training. Then Davis, who made the U.S. Olympic team that year, broke his back just before the Games. “It was a very traumatic year,” says Mitrani from his hillside home in Burlington’s South End. That summer, he and Davis organized the first Frendly Gathering in Crowley Lake, Calif., as a way to bring their friends together in a dark time. “We basically put the invite out in a Facebook post to friends and fans,” recalls Mitrani, who is currently on crutches and recuperating from a leg injury sustained in Miami. “We said, ‘Hey, come meet us here for camping and to celebrate life and to kind of just reset and get the positive energy back.’” The next year, Davis and Mitrani held another Gathering at Crowley Lake and realized the party might work as a festival a little closer to home. Just 30 days later, they moved the Gathering to Timber Ridge, a small, privately owned ski area, and opened it to the public. “It just clicked,” says Mitrani. That first year, with local jam stalwarts Twiddle headlining the 12-band slate, the festival drew 500 people. The following year, Frendly more than doubled in size, with 30 bands and FRENDS WITH BENEFITS

soul duo DWIGHT & NICOLE, the AEROLITES, BINGER and rocksteady favorites STEADY BETTY, among many others. EMK also touts some solid hometown talent, including Montpelier acts CASIO BASTARD, songwriter ABBY JENNE, garage rockers LAKE SUPERIOR and hip-hop duo BOOMSLANG. No word yet if the corporate trolls at Chick-fil-A have filed a frivolous and evil suit against the Eat More Kale Festival for copyright infringement on its “Eat Mor Chikin” slogan. But we’ll stay on that story and break news as events warrant. In the meantime, check out emkfest.org for more details. A little-known bylaw in the Vermont constitution says that no summer weekend shall pass without at least one bluegrass festival somewhere in the state. Obliging this weekend is the Jenny Brook Bluegrass Festival at the Tunbridge World’s Fairgrounds. Entering its 16th year, Jenny Brook is a hoedown, a hootenanny and a barn burner all

rolled into one. The four-day fest, which runs from Thursday through Sunday, June 23 through 26, is a monster with name-brand talent to rival almost any other fest in Vermont this summer. Highlights of this year’s lineup include the legendary DEL MCCOURY BAND, the GIBSON BROTHERS, DOYLE LAWSON & QUICKSILVER and the LONESOME RIVER BAND. Fun note about that last group. Its banjo player, bandleader SAMMY SHELOR, is a five-time International Bluegrass Music Award winner. But that’s only his second-coolest accolade. The first? He won the second annual STEVE MARTIN Prize for Excellence in Banjo and Bluegrass. In a related story, there is a Steve Martin Prize for Excellence in Banjo and Bluegrass. Jenny Brook also has some nice local flavor in the persons of BOB AMOS & CATAMOUNT CROSSING and the SETH SAWYER BAND. Sawyer has written tunes recorded by the likes of the WARRIOR RIVER BOYS and the aforementioned Gibson Brothers. Also, he and his wife and bandmate, CANDI SAWYER, are the cofounders and producers of the JBBF. Visit jennybrookbluegrass.com for more.

The Frendly Gathering in Windham rests atop the local music marquee this week. And you can turn to page 64 of this very paper for more on that chummy three-day shindig. But in news that should surprise exactly no one, Frendly ain’t the only cool music fest happing in the Green Mountains this weekend. Because music festivals are happening in Vermont every weekend from now until Labor Day. Normally, this would be the part of the column where I take local promoters aside and ask them share a Google calendar so that great fests aren’t all stacked up on the same weekends. Thing is, there are only so many days in Vermont’s brief summer season. And having an abundance of fun options to choose from is a good problem to have. So, let’s dig in, shall we? We start in Montpelier with the debut of a brand-new event, the Eat More Kale Festival, at Morse Farm Maple Sugarworks in Montpelier on Saturday, June 25. Spearheaded by BO MULLER-MOORE — aka “the Eat More Kale Guy” — and Halogen Media Works’ JUSTIN HOY, EMK is a family-friendly celebration of local music, arts and community. And also kale. As one might expect, the lineup is fittingly locavore. KAT WRIGHT AND THE INDOMITABLE SOUL BAND take top billing.

1,200 attendees. It has grown every year since, attracting more fans and bigger acts. Mitrani and Davis expect close to 5,000 frends this year to catch the likes of headliners such as livetronica duo Big Gigantic, Brooklyn “powerfunk” band Turkuaz, indie-pop quintet Givers, psych-soul act Monophonics and Twiddle — the last of which has become a Frendly staple and festival anchor. As it has since the beginning, the Gathering also has a strong local vibe, with Vermont acts such as Madaila, Smooth Antics, Mal Maiz and many others set to perform on the festival’s seven stages and performance areas. As the festival has gotten bigger, it has experienced inevitable growing pains. Speaking by phone recently on his way to help build a new main stage, Davis explains that the organizers had trouble with overzealous security in the past — an issue since solved, he adds. Making and maintaining frendships with Timber Ridge neighbors has also been a priority, he says, especially given the exponential influx of fans in recent years. “We definitely try to keep the neighbors happy,” Davis says. “We make sure they have tickets and can get in and out of their houses.” But the biggest hurdle has been making time. Davis still rides competitively all over the world. Mitrani rides professionally and is now an action-sports TV broadcaster. Even INFO with a year-round The Frendly Gathering runs Thursday through Saturday, June 23 through 25, at Timber Ridge in Windham. $50-250. crew of about 10 frendlygathering.com employees — and another 250 helpers during the fest — they increasingly find it challenging to make time to produce the Gathering. The festival’s success has also prompted a natural question: How much bigger can it get? The answer: Not much. For one thing, the Gathering’s current home at Timber Ridge can’t sustainably host a larger festival. For another, neither Davis nor Mitrani wants it to get any bigger. “It’s not Coachella, which is exactly what’s so cool about it,” says Davis. “It really is like you’re just hanging out with a bunch of good friends, and I don’t want to lose that.” Mitrani agrees. “I can’t imagine it being much bigger than it is,” he says. He can, however, imagine the Gathering in new places. Mitrani and Davis say their next step is to host Gatherings in other parts of the country — and perhaps the world. “I think bringing the festival to our frends out west, maybe to Europe, maybe during the winter, would be amazing,” says Mitrani. Adds Davis, “I think our frends would be stoked on that.” m

In electronic music news, it’s time again for Hoptronica at Red Square in Burlington. This is the 13th edition of the venue-wide house music and hiphop showcase, curated by NEXUS ARTIST MANAGEMENT and 4WORD PRODUCTIONS. And it features, well, pretty much every DJ in town playing over three stages. It also includes a laser and light show, because of course it does. The main draw is a live performance by ELECTROLADS, a five-member live electronica supergroup of sorts, consisting of instrumentalists CARLO and GIOVANNI ROVETTO, BEN DUNHAM, BRANDON KLARICH and DJ WALTER PETERSON. The band specializes in house, deep house and tech-house. I’ve never seen them, but, given their pedigrees, I’m guessing they’re pretty damn good. Also on the bill are local house music heavyweights TRICKY PAT, HARDER THEY COME, SHARKAT, JUSTIN R.E.M. and PHATRIX. The hip-hop room features C-LOW, CRE8 and MASHTODON. Meanwhile, in the Red Square Blue Room, it’s a techno, trap and bass showcase hosted by BERLINGTON, AQUG and WILDLIFE MUSIC COLLECTIVE. It all goes down at Red Square on Wednesday, June 29. Oh, and it’s free.

Anyway, I’m pleased to report that dates and headliners for the 2016 LOUNGE GMCF have been announced. Mark your calendars: The festival will run WED STANDUP: Open Mic from July 18 to 23, and none other than 22 STANDUP: Quiplash EMO PHILIPS is headlining. We’ll be digging into the festival THU IMPROV NIGHT! in more detail soon. In the meantime, 23 JAM / Life of the Party maybe catch a cool improv or standup Daily Grind ft.

Moving on, if you can only go to one show this coming week, I’d strongly suggest it be JOE JACK TALCUM and F. WOODS at the Light Club Lamp Shop in Burlington on Tuesday, June 28. If you’re unfamiliar, Talcum — aka JOE GENARO — is a founding member and co-front man of punk icons the DEAD MILKMEN. I repeat: A founding member of the Dead fuckin’ Milkmen is playing the Lamp Shop. If I have to explain to you why that’s incredible, we really need to start seeing other people. As for Woods, he’s a pretty interesting cat himself. He’s a Phillybased songwriter rooted in surf and punk. But his offbeat songs come more from outsider folk and even old-time

traditions. Imagine what might happen if JONATHAN RICHMAN collaborated with the CRAMPS on an album of songs written by DANIEL JOHNSTON, and you’re kind of in the ballpark.

studded local showcase at the Higher Ground Ballroom in South Burlington on Thursday, June 23. The show is presented by Rights & Democracy, a local grassroots political advocacy group focused on community building and promoting fair democracy. In addition to their noble populist ideals, it seems the folks at RAD — note the nifty acronym there — also have solid taste in local music. Headlining the show are Dwight & Nicole, who have an awfully busy week lined up. Joining them are prodigal neosoul songwriter MYRA FLYNN, house DJ extraordinaire CRAIG MITCHELL, veteran rocker CHAD HOLLISTER, songwriter — and RAD board member — JULIE WINN, rambling folk-rock ensemble the WEE FOLKESTRA and RADIO UNDERGROUND.

REVIEW this Matteo Palmer, Embers

case, given that Ackerman has served as Palmer’s mentor since the latter was a sophomore at Vergennes Union High School. On Embers, Palmer’s recently released second album, the young guitarist has begun to transcend his formative influences. Ackerman’s stamp remains, but it’s now more a gentle imprint. Palmer’s compositions sing with unique creativity and personality. “Northern Hemisphere” is serene and contemplative, suffused with a

sense of awe. Palmer coaxes pure, resonant tones that shimmer like the aurora borealis. “None Shall Be Afraid” opens on a moody passage that imparts a sense of growing dread, lingering on a final note that hangs ominously. But then Palmer unfurls a bright, nimble melody that washes away the preceding anxiety. Ackerman would be the first to tell you that sometimes the best notes are the ones you don’t play. Palmer’s sense of space and how to use it suggest he’s taken that lesson to heart. “Embers Part 1” and “Embers Part 2” form the title couplet. At a combined 10 minutes, the twin compositions smolder with low heat — cranked up a tad on the latter track by the rare presence of electric guitar. The album is a collaborative work. Unlike Palmer’s debut, it features guest players, including Tom Eaton on piano, Eugene Friesen on cello and Charlie Bisharat on violin. Eaton and Ackerman

engineered and coproduced with Palmer at Ackerman’s Imaginary Road Studios. Eaton also mastered the record. But at its core, Embers is an extension of Palmer himself. Tracks such as the elegiac “Harry & Hermione” and the playful “El Guapo” ring with Palmer’s personality. “Southern Hemisphere” takes the introspective tone of the opening cut and flips it upside down in increasingly urgent lines. “Whitecaps” closes the album with turbulent fluidity. In a 2014 story in Seven Days, Ackerman said of Palmer, “The kid has an almost frightening ability to find the emotion in his music.” What might be truly frightening is that not only can Palmer find that emotion, he’s learned to express it like never before. Embers by Matteo Palmer is available at matteopalmermusic.com. Palmer plays an album-release show at the Mt. Philo Inn in Charlotte on Saturday, June 25.

another guitarist was in the session. Young is always exploring but never wandering or, Satan forbid, merely noodling. When it’s time to solo, Young cuts a line somewhere between John Mayall and J Mascis — soaked in feedback but so melodic you can fairly sing along. Rite of Passage fires up with the one-two punch of “Turn to the Blues” and “One More Chance,” jangly bluesrock bruisers that complement each

other nicely. The riffs are simple, the structures primal. But the band relies on dynamics to push and shape the changes, always poking at the edges but always locked into the groove. Once things slow down, the rhythm section actually shines even more. One of the finest tracks on the album, “Crack in the Cosmic Egg,” showcases everyone at their best. Drummer Chris Egner is brilliantly creative. Bassist Kiel Alarcon damn near channels Noel Redding — a propulsive counterpoint on the low end. The track also features one of Young’s best vocal performances on an album where he too often defaults into a talkgrowl instead of really opening up. The album’s only real weakness is the lyrics themselves, which tend to be rote and repetitive. Of course, for garage-rock revivalists like Derek and the Demons, that ain’t a huge problem. Still, on later tracks — especially “Old Times” and “Kin” — it’s hard not to notice how paintby-numbers the songwriting can get.

The closing track, “Alone With Jodorowsky,” works hard to change that impression. It opens up with a slowburn vamp, spills into a playful guitar solo and doesn’t even crank up the heat until the six-minute mark. After that, the song explodes into full-blown psychedelia territory. Despite being nearly 20 minutes long, it’s a great ride that never gets boring or overwhelming — no small feat for a trio. Recorded and produced by Alarcon, Rite of Passage is robust and balanced, a million miles away from the DIY dirt of early What Doth Life releases but still true to the same aesthetic. For both the band and the larger collective behind it, the album is a homegrown milestone that proves something special is brewing in the birthplace of Vermont. Rite of Passage by Derek and the Demons is available at derekandthedemons.bandcamp.com.

(SELF-RELEASED, CD, DIGITAL DOWNLOAD)

In 2014, guitarist Matteo Palmer established himself as one of Vermont’s most promising young artists with his debut album, Out of Nothing. In addition to nearly peerless technical chops, Palmer showcased sublime sensibilities and a musical sensitivity well beyond his then17 years. The kid wasn’t simply a prodigious player — though he certainly was and is that. He was an artist, and nearly fully formed. If Palmer had a weakness, it might have been that his compositions, while well crafted, remained too rooted in the works of his heroes, contemporary instrumental guitarists such as Alex de Grassi and Windham Hill Records founder Will Ackerman. Hero worship is a forgivable transgression for any young artist. That’s doubly true in this

Derek and the Demons, an unrepentantly raw rock trio hailing from Windsor, have been quite busy since their inception in 2010. In addition to two EP releases, Rite of Passage is the band’s third full-length album. The album also marks a whopping 61 releases for What Doth Life, a quasi-label and collective selfdescribed as “a brand with nothing to sell.” That’s a lot of time in the kitchen, and the Demons have definitely got the recipe down. This is lean, honest music. The trio’s sound hinges on the guitar work of singer Derek Young. He fills the room with a high-precision wall of noise, transitioning from power-chord washes to searing lead lines. He often pulls off both so fluidly you’d swear

FRI.24 // MYRIAM GENDRON [INDIE]

All Is Well

MYRIAM GENDRON

was

working as a copy editor and book dealer in Montréal when she stumbled on an anthology of Dorothy Parker poems titled Not So Deep As a Well. Inspired by Parker’s prose, Gendron began setting the poems to music. The result was an acclaimed 2014 album, also called Not So Deep As a Well. Gendron’s project is no mere recitation. With sparse accompaniment and her humble, unadorned voice, she gently leaves her own mark on Parker’s brilliant writings. As NPR Music observed, “Just when you think Parker’s words have worn away Gendron, the singer twists or repeats a phrase in a way that unexpectedly cuts deeper, or even skews absurd.” Gendron plays the Light Club Lamp Shop in Burlington on Friday, June 24, with New Hampshire’s FOOTINGS.

Both “Table Setting” and “Wings of Icarus” appear suspended in motion and on the verge of toppling. The wall-hung compositions “Lunar Ivory” and “Forge” are made of painted cardboard, using the lowest common denominator — both in material and form — to suggest the titular items. In contrast to this irreverence, Santoro’s stone sculpture is solid and unwavering, looking as if it emerged whole from the ground. This description especially suits “Origins Triptych,”

Art Gallery in Burlington welcomes “Portraiture Reimagined,” an exhibition of “cinema portraits” by Todd Lockwood. He describes this as “a convergence of portrait photography, cinema and writing.” Lockwood says he first experimented with his idea of the movieportrait in 1975. He was disappointed with the images produced with his 16mm camera and abandoned the work. Last fall, though, he invested in an industry-grade digital camera and tried again — successfully. Subjects include photographer John Douglas, artist and Flynn Center for the Performing Arts director John Killacky, actor Claude Mumbere and artist Milton Rosa-Ortiz. Each portrait is a moving image of a silent subject interacting with a prerecorded audio track, resulting in a specific and nuanced scene that plays out among subject, sound and camera. A reception is Thursday, June 23, 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. Through

movies Central Intelligence ★★★★★

e honest: Back in the days of The Scorpion King (2002), did you ever in your wildest dreams imagine the time would come when the Rock would star in the funniest action comedy in the country? That he’d costar with one of the world’s top comics and not be the straight man? Or that he’d play a straight man but then plant a big juicy one smack on the comic’s mouth? All that has come to pass with the release of Central Intelligence, one of the smartest dumb comedies ever made. Who would have guessed that former wrestler and Fast & Furious regular Dwayne Johnson was really a giant, muscle-bound teddy bear, an actor gifted with terrific comic instincts and boundless reserves of sweetness and charm? Not me. So watching the latest from writer-director Rawson Marshall Thurber (Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story, We’re the Millers) was, to say the least, a pleasant surprise. Surprise No. 2: Kevin Hart dials down his manic, motormouthed shtick and plays his version of a comic foil. It’s a casting gamble that pays off in virtually nonstop laughs. The movie’s opening moments set up the odd-couple dynamic with a flashback. Hart’s Calvin Joyner is the most popular kid

in school. He’s holding court at a packed assembly when bullies barge into the gym and deposit a very naked, very tubby and very mortified Robbie Weirdicht on the floor. Everyone in the place cracks up except Calvin, who rushes over and gives the poor kid his letter jacket. Fast-forward 20 years, and Calvin’s glory days are a memory. His class reunion’s coming up, and he’s thinking of skipping it, given his mixed feelings about winding up a humdrum accountant. His life doesn’t stay humdrum long, however, once he accepts a Facebook friend request from a Bob Stone. Bob Stone (Johnson) turns out to be Robbie — transformed into 6 feet, 5 inches of solid CIA killing machine. The director cowrote the script with Ike Barinholtz and David Stassen, and one of its most amusing twists is that, while he’s an intimidating mountain on the outside, Bob is still the geek he was in high school. “I’m big-time into ’corns,” he tells a baffled Calvin when they reunite — unicorns, that is, like the one on his T-shirt. Bob talks about Sixteen Candles constantly and stores secret weapons in a fanny pack. Faster than you can say “Jason Bourne in jorts” (which Hart actually does say at one point), the two find themselves on the run

ROCK STAR Hart plays straight man to an amazingly funny Johnson in this clever, genre-twisting comedy from Rawson Marshall Thurber.

from the agency. Bob is suspected of killing his former partner, and they’re sucked into some deadly if deliberately generic intrigue, in which Bob has the crazy idea that Calvin’s accounting skills will be of use. The plot’s pure nonsense, but the story’s not the point here. The mission of Central Intelligence is to showcase the unexpectedly potent chemistry its two stars share and to allow Johnson to flex his comedic muscles. It accomplishes that mission and then some. The dialogue’s inspired (“You’re like a snack-size Denzel,” Bob exclaims to Calvin in the middle of a fight sequence). The

agent’s aura of innocence, enthusiasm and positivity is as winning as it is weird in an action context. So are his gratitude toward and love for Calvin. You don’t see that every day. A surprise third-act appearance by Melissa McCarthy is just icing on a tasty cake. Here’s a comedy directed by someone who’s worked with Ben Stiller, Vince Vaughn, Jason Sudeikis and Ed Helms, among other very funny people. Who’d ever have guessed Dwayne Johnson would prove funniest of them all? RI C K KI S O N AK

Finding Dory ★★★★

s a culture stuffed to the brim with information, we’re haunted by the possibility of memory loss. Many of us live in fear of sinking into a gray existential twilight where every face is a stranger, and no place is a home. The latest Pixar animation contains a scene that embodies that possibility as chillingly as a Lars von Trier film (if a lot more fleetingly). It also features undersea slapstick, cuddle-prone otters, bantering fish, manic chase scenes and bossy sea lions voiced by the stars of “The Wire” (Dominic West and Idris Elba). In other words, Finding Dory is just another day at the office for Pixar, whose stock in trade is making children squeal in delight and adults cry (and then laugh, and then cry again). While it may not be quite the animation revelation that Finding Nemo was in 2003, Dory benefits from the steady hand of returning cowriter-director Andrew Stanton. It’s an above-average sequel with a quiet message about the value of fish — or people — whose brains work differently from the norm. In the first film, blue tang Dory (Ellen DeGeneres) was the irrepressibly jaunty sidekick who accompanied anxious clownfish Marlin (Albert Brooks) on his quest to recover his beloved spawn, Nemo (voiced in the sequel by Hayden Rolence). Now Dory and her tendency to “suffer from short-term memory loss” are front and center. That’s the phrase that Dory’s loving parents (Diane Keaton and Eugene Levy) coach

BLUE TANG CLAN The title character’s childhood idyll doesn’t last long in Pixar’s sequel to its 2003 under-the-sea hit.

her to use in a flashback prologue that’s cute and unsettling in equal measures. Their fear for their offspring’s future is palpable — and justified, as tiny Dory promptly succumbs to the undertow and forgets her way home. From there, the narrative jumps to one year post-Nemo, when the adult Dory abruptly regains a memory of her parents and her birthplace on the California coast. Marlin and Nemo accompany Dory on her subsequent quest to find her folks, but

they don’t add a ton to the sequel besides friendship and familiarity. Dory is more dynamic on her own or interacting with various critters in the aquarium where the trail leads her. There the compulsively friendly fish meets her foil, an ornery octopus named Hank (Ed O’Neill) who insists he’d rather “live in a glass box” than among his own kind. Initially contemptuous of Dory’s Pollyanna-ish disposition, he gradually develops a sneaky admiration for her.

So does the audience. It’s a tribute to DeGeneres’ light touch that Dory’s perpetual sunniness doesn’t come across as forced. Her sociability is survival strategy and compensation for her fluctuating memory. But it’s also genuine and gives weight to her Zen credo: “Just keep swimming.” The aquatic world of Dory doesn’t teem with as many fascinating details as the mammalian world of spring’s Zootopia, but it has its share of clever visual gags, many of them occasioned by Hank’s camouflaging abilities. While the dialogue is never groan-inducing, the most memorable creatures are the ones that haven’t mastered speech, such as a scatter-brained yet helpful loon named Becky. This is no Inside Out, nor is it Memento with a fish. Breakneck, kid-friendly action outweighs the darker elements of Dory; the plot eventually does take Dory to that dark night of the soul, but it leaves no doubt that she will emerge. The message is strong and simple: Those who are different shouldn’t be shunned, and no one can navigate our oceanic world without a little help from their friends. A little more radically, the film also suggests that Dory’s forgetful brain gives her certain advantages that long-memoried fish (and people) lack, such as a capacity to seize and live in the moment. And there’s enough joy in Finding Dory to make us happy to keep swimming right along with her. MARGO T HARRI S O N
