Why is being connected to the community important to your business?

We care.  Life is a journey, a story with many chapters.  Those that are coming and going, or moving within the Vermont communities that we serve are our storytellers and we’re grateful to share and help guide them through a chapter (or two, or three..).  They are the “WHY” behind everything we do.  The ongoing and growing community connectivity remains as our guide to evolve and shift as needed to best serve our communities.

“It is not more bigness that should be our goal.  We must attempt, rather, to bring people back to the warmth of community, to the worth of individual effort and responsibility, and of individuals working together as a community, to better their lives and their children’s future.”  – Robert F.

Where the Sun Don't Shine: Welcome to the 'Seven Days' Guide to the 2024 Solar Eclipse 

Published April 2, 2024 at 10:00 a.m. | Updated April 2, 2024 at 4:01 p.m.

• Michael Tonn | Rev. Diane Sullivan

V ermont will soon be plunged into darkness. No, it's not the end times — though given the events of the past few years, you could be forgiven for worrying. Rather, amid the great eternal dance of the cosmos, the stars will align to present one of our solar system's most spectacular celestial phenomena: a total solar eclipse.

On Monday, April 8, 2024, at roughly 3:26 p.m., the moon will pass directly between the sun and the Earth to cast parts of Vermont in complete shadow. The eclipse's full "path of totality" — or where the moon fully obscures the sun — will travel across Mexico, the United States and Canada. Northern Vermont lies directly in this path and will experience this once-in-a-lifetime convergence.

Send us your photos!

Email [email protected] and provide a few details, who took the photo and your phone number. We might use your photo online or in the April 10 print issue!

The eclipse is expected to draw anywhere between 50,000 and 200,000 visitors to the Green Mountain State. In the months leading up to it, Seven Days has covered a variety of eclipse topics, from practical guidance and science-y stories to special events and the best places for viewing.

For this guide, we've selected some of the best and most interesting info and tidbits from that reporting to help you get the most out the eclipse experience in Vermont. And we've added plenty of fun, fresh content that you won't find anywhere else — for instance, tickle your brain with the eclipse-themed crossword puzzle by Shelburne father-daughter puzzle makers Greg and Grace Warrington and go over the moon with the comic from award-winning Vermont cartoonist Dan Nott .

But before we dig in, here's a primer on what to expect on April 8.

Why is this eclipse a big deal?

Well, the freaking sun is gonna disappear, for starters. But more to the point, while solar eclipses are fairly common — they happen about twice a year on average — only a small percentage of people in the world ever see them.

"You have to be in the right place ... in the shadow cast by the moon onto the Earth," University of Vermont astrophysicist John Perry said. "If you stay in one place and just wait for a total solar eclipse to come to you, you'll be waiting on average 360 years."

Perry noted that some parts of the world haven't seen a total solar eclipse in 2,000 years. The last one in Vermont was a bit more recent than that. It happened in 1932 but was only visible to a small portion of the state — see " Twice in a Lifetime " for recollections from Vermonters who saw it.

And the next one? It's not coming until 2106.

Where is the best place to see the eclipse?

The totality will be visible from a roughly 115-mile swath across the region, from Montréal in the north to Middlebury in the south, with St. Albans smack in the middle. Where you go in that band is up to you — find some of our recs in " Totality Towns " and at sevendaysvt.com/eclipse . Pretty much anywhere you can see the sun will work, though Perry suggests getting away from artificial lights so that "you'll see how dark it really gets."

• The path of totality for the 2014 solar eclipse over the northeastern U.S.

Perry also advises those near Lake Champlain to seek out higher ground in order to see the shadow of the moon sweep across the lake from west to east at about 1,000 miles per hour. See " Don't Get Stuck in the Mud " for more on where — and where not — to hike for a bird's-eye view of the eclipse.

What will it be like when the sun disappears?

In a word: spooky.

The eclipse will begin around 2:14 p.m., and the sky will gradually darken as the moon passes in front of the sun. Totality in Burlington will last for about three and a half minutes before the sky begins lightening again — the length of totality will vary slightly depending on where you are. The eclipse will be visible until about 4:37 p.m.

"It's very dramatic," Perry said. "It'll get very dark, and the sunlight will look creepy."

Little wonder, then, that eclipses have been the inspiration for myths and superstitions for centuries. See " Waking Up the Sun " for some of the stranger eclipse folklore.

Perry added that stars and planets will be visible in the sky — including Mercury, which is often hard to see because its orbit is so close to the sun. Wind could pick up as the temperature drops. And nocturnal critters such as bats, owls and raccoons may be tricked into thinking it's nighttime and come out.

Perry noted that the sun's spiky corona will reach about twice as far as the disk of sun we normally see. Shortly before totality, you'll glimpse "Baily's beads," a half circle of bright spots on the leading edge of the eclipse created by light streaming through the valleys on the moon. Finally, you'll see the "diamond ring," one last bright bead visible only for a second or two before the sun is fully obscured.

How should I view the eclipse?

Remember in 2017 when president Donald Trump was photographed staring directly at an eclipse? Don't do that.

"You can really damage your eyes," Perry advised.

Instead, you should wear special solar eclipse glasses — they kind of resemble 3D movie glasses. The State of Vermont has purchased thousands of them that will be freely available through towns and community organizations. Or you could buy your own at many Vermont stores.

And don't take them off , at least not until totality.

"They should not be taken off until the sun is completely blocked out," Perry said. "And you should put them back on the instant you see some sun shining through."

Or maybe just leave them on to be safe. See " Safe Spectacle(s) " for more on the eclipse and your eyes.

This seems like a pretty big deal for Vermont.

It sure could be. In 2017, 300,000 people descended upon Idaho Falls for a total solar eclipse. That city is a bit larger than Burlington, but you get the idea.

Nearly every town and city along the path of totality, from Middlebury to Newport, is hosting events and planning public safety measures to deal with the unprecedented influx of eclipse seekers. Special shindigs include everything from the three-day Alburgh Totality Festival in the Champlain Islands to the citywide Obscura BTV bash in Burlington to innumerable Pink Floyd tribute bands performing The Dark Side of the Moon at parties all over the state.

For a curated selection of can't-miss eclipse events, turn to the " Celestial 7 ," or find many more online at sevendaysvt.com/eclipse .

What if it's cloudy?

Shhhhh! Why would you even ask that?

OK, fine. Given that Vermont ranks as the second-cloudiest state in the country, it's fair to worry about rain on our parade — or even snow, in early April.

"It'll still get dark," Perry said. "But that's about it, which would be very unfortunate."

Indeed. Here's hoping for clear skies.

Listening In

Vermont-made music for the eclipse.

Sure, you could fire up Pink Floyd's The Dark Side of the Moon or Bonnie Tyler's "Total Eclipse of the Heart" as the moon begins its journey across the sun on April 8. But a once-in-a-lifetime event requires an equally singular mix. So Seven Days music editor Chris Farnsworth has compiled a locavore playlist to serve as your soundtrack to totality. Ranging from indie rock and folk to hip-hop and jazz, it features big-name Vermont icons such as Phish, Rubblebucket and Grace Potter, as well as Green Mountain favorites the Dead Shakers, Robber Robber, Kat Wright, Dwight + Nicole, and more.

IN THE GARDEN

Is Your Garden Missing Something? You May Need a Large Pot (or Several).

An imposing work of pottery can be as important to the design of a landscape as any well-placed plant. And no, we’re not talking about flower pots.

By Margaret Roach

Flower pots, they are not. But Stephen Procter ’s large stoneware garden vessels, some as tall as five feet and incorporating 250 pounds of clay, are nevertheless functional pottery — even without the soil and the plants.

In the clay world, he said, there’s always talk about functional versus nonfunctional pottery, attempting to draw a line between the two. Mr. Procter, a Vermont-based ceramist, has seen his and other such outsize garden sculptures in action, though.

“An object that invites contemplation, and inspires, and offers this kind of mysterious sustenance is functional in a deep and important way,” he said. “Not functional that you’re going to drink your coffee out of it, but the work has high purpose in the landscape and in the world.”

A substantial sculptural element can perform a variety of garden-design jobs, he added, strengthening the structure of the landscape by “calling attention to its junctures — the entry, or the transition point, or the destination.”

Mr. Procter has watched the space-transforming powers of ceramics at work for roughly 20 years, since his first installation in a client’s garden, and observed the audience reaction at outdoor shows of his work at public gardens like Blithewold, in Rhode Island, and the Mount, Edith Wharton’s home in the Berkshires of Massachusetts.

It’s like the Wallace Stevens poem “Anecdote of the Jar,” he said, which tells of a round jar placed on a hill in Tennessee, and what happens to the scene in response.

“The wilderness rose up to it,” the poet wrote. “And sprawled around, no longer wild.”

Inspirations From Seed Pods, Hives, Cocoons

The lesson for gardeners: An imposing piece of pottery can be pivotal to the design of a landscape — as much so as any well-placed plant. Maybe even more so, if it is winter-hardy like one of Mr. Procter’s high-fired clay vessels, which are persistent garden performers in every season.

To his eye, pieces with an organic shape fill this role especially well. He describes his shape aesthetic as “an amalgamation of classic Mediterranean pot vernacular and forms inspired by nature: seed pod, hive, cocoon.”

It is the pots’ shape and scale that do the job. He leaves the surfaces simple, without colorful glazes or decoration.

“I find that decoration tends to narrow what the pot can be to somebody,” Mr. Procter said. “It specifies it in a style, or specifies it in an era or a culture, and I’m much more interested in the sort of Rorschach inkblot, an object that somebody can take wherever they want it to go.”

The vessels possess an “animate presence,” he said, that clients and their garden visitors interact with intimately, by touching them and even speaking or singing to them.

“They approach them as if they’re friendly ponies,” he said. “They’ll stroke them, they’ll hug them, and they’ll always peer into them.”

For one couple whose garden is home to a creation of Mr. Procter’s, that life force feels so strong, they refer to the pot with a personal pronoun.

“She brings a breathing focal point that both grounds the garden and merges it with the surrounding woods and mountain,” Ingrid and Jim Miller, of Dublin, N.H., wrote in an email to Mr. Procter.

Like Writing Music, but in Clay

Unlike a figurative sculpture, an organically shaped one “is not calling attention to itself, it’s harmonizing,” said Mr. Procter, using a word from an earlier career in music.

After earning a master’s degree in classical guitar, he worked as a professional musician. It wasn’t until he was in his mid-30s, he said, that he “stumbled into clay.” The youngest of his three children was enrolled in a pottery class, and he recalls watching her at the wheel.

“I got very intrigued, as much by the magic of turning this inert lump of earth into something that embodied intelligence as by the meditation bubble that forms around someone who’s working intently on the potter’s wheel,” he said. “It’s centering on many levels.”

That inspired him to take classes at a community clay studio. Unlike most of the other students, he wanted to explore large vessels, which felt like “mysterious beings of a sort,” he said. (No surprise that he has since been told he used more clay than anyone else in decades of students in that beginner class.)

These days, at 68, he is a teacher, offering classes and weekend workshops to those who wish to try making the large-scale vessels that are his signature.

Maybe the best compliment he has received came from a friend who knew him during his music years. “These look like crystallized music,” the person told him.

Indeed, Mr. Procter said, “all the same elements are at play in interpreting or writing a piece of music as in making the pots. You’re looking at harmony and contrast, and balance and flow, rhythm and articulation.”

He added: “The transition from music to clay was strangely seamless. I felt like this was just a visual analog of what I’d been doing in sound and time, now doing in space and material.”

Garden Roles for a Sculptural Element

There are a number of roles that such sculptural elements can play in the garden. Sometimes, when two pots are placed in a garden space, a duet begins — even when one of them isn’t of heroic proportions.

“There can be a much smaller pot at quite a distance that would feel lost by itself, but it somehow belongs to that bigger pot,” Mr. Procter said. “And people draw very strong imaginary lines between the vessels. The mind and eye want to connect them.”

Elsewhere, a large vessel may create a center point from which other elements in the garden will then seem to radiate. As in the Wallace Stevens poem, Mr. Procter said, it’s as if “the pot reorganizes everything around it.”

When used to mark a transition between garden areas, he said, the vessels “become a greeter, if you will, to this new part of the garden that you’re moving to,” or they mark a turn or bifurcation in a path.

“When placed carefully,” Michael Gordon, a garden designer in Peterborough, N.H., told Mr. Procter, the vessels “bring a feeling of both surprise and serenity to the journey down a garden path.”

A few clients have used one of his pots in a manner that has fascinated him: placed next to a very large rock. “It somehow tames the rock,” he said. “It doesn’t diminish it in some way, but it adds this other element and starts a conversation between the wild and the made that I find mysterious and interesting.”

Some outdoor sculptural elements can beckon loudly from a distance — when a formal pot is shown off in a formally designed garden, for example, perhaps set upon a plinth. But Mr. Procter is often happier when the lines are a little fuzzier.

“A pot that’s more organic and wild sometimes is more alluring when it’s partially obscured by foliage, and it creates this intrigue: ‘What is that? What’s the rest of it? How do I understand it?’” he said. “And that can be, in some ways, a more compelling and alluring kind of draw than the one that reveals itself all at once.”

As Bess Haire and Chris Gunner, of Jaffrey, N.H., wrote in an email to Mr. Procter, “More than just ornament, the pots are to us barometer, mirror, company and sentinel.”

Into the Kiln, and Into the Garden

Like the making of a garden, the creation of a large vessel cannot be rushed. From start to finish, the process takes about three weeks.

“The pots that get built faster, they’re just not as good,” Mr. Procter said. “There’s some benefit in standing back, stepping away, letting the idea settle a little bit more, coming back and revisiting it, and working on it incrementally.”

Even after so many years, he acknowledges, it sometimes seems like a preposterous undertaking.

After as much as a week of hands-on building time, he lets the work air-dry for maybe another week before it is ready to be fired.

Just watching Mr. Procter’s assistant load the kiln in a recent Instagram reel is enough to make a viewer anxious. They are helped by a gantry crane — as an automotive shop might hoist an engine — and the floor of the kiln rolls out to meet the incoming vessel. After a couple of days of gradual preheating, the piece inside the six-by-six-foot box atop a brick foundation is fired to 2,340 degrees in a 14-hour cycle. Then it cools slowly over two days.

A lid is fired for each pot, for use in winter to keep out moisture that could thaw and refreeze inside, causing damage.

But the rest of the year, it’s lids off — or at least that’s Mr. Procter’s preference.

“It feels like they’re breathing the same air as the trees and the plants, and they’re participating,” he said. “When the lid goes on, they somehow feel more introspective and gestational.”
