weeklypost The best of the Vermont blogosphere COMPILED BY CATHY RESMER

Blog: Undead Molly

MORE COLOR WARS I am writing in response to Steve Ekberg [“Letters,” February 14]. First, I need to correct Ekberg as he refers to “Burlington Green Party” as a registered trademark when in fact he registered it as a “trade name” on February 1 of this year. Secondly, the Office of the Vermont Secretary of State dissolved this trade name immediately after finding out that their office made a mistake in not realizing the name “Burlington Green Party” was already in use as a local committee of the Vermont Green Party, which is an officially recognized political party with the elections division. Ekberg received a letter from the Vermont Secretary of State this past week, which the Green Party received a copy of, denying him the right to use and monopolize on this name as he arbitrarily attempted to do. The Secretary of State also made us aware that Ekberg attempted to trade name “Vermont Green Party” as well. These dictatorial actions and other petty actions by Ekberg are why the Greens have voted him out from any official position whatsoever within the Green Party. Ekberg’s cease and desist order is now officially null and void, and laughable at best. Owen Mulligan

SUNDAY MORNING BRUNCH: SIMPLETON HUMOR Just so you know, you will not read anything more about the blizzard on this blog. I am completely sick of it — sick! Everyone who had trouble because of it can’t stop complaining and trying to top each other with their tales of snow-woe, and everyone who got to stay home and shovel at their leisure can’t stop marveling at the magical beauty and power of Mother Nature and congratulating themselves for not being cranky complainers. Banal mini-essays about how fragile our civic lives really are; scoffing at mankind’s delusions of “control”; how awesome it is when (insert anthropomorphized representation of weather phenomena) smites the cocky humans; perplexed irritation over the post-storm driving behavior of others; and ‘geez isn’t too bad that we can’t all be more like the delighted children who are delighting in the delightful snow?’ Enough! Don’t talk to me about the storm unless you have something interesting, important, and new to say about it. Posted February 18 by Molly Hodgdon

SURGE PURGE It is shallow at best, and cowardly at worst, for Republicans to imply those who want to bring our troops home do not support them [“Numbers Racket,” January 24]. Like it or not, the Bush/Cheney policy has created a civil war in Iraq. No invading country should try and mediate a civil war. The invaders are seen as the enemy by both sides. Regardless of the best intentions, and no matter what they do, they are the enemy, plain and simple. It is clear that this administration has no strategy for a safe way to disentangle itself from the mess they have created. They have ignored all warnings and advice from within their party, from the military, and from advisory committees. To turn on those who would take our soldiers out of harm’s way and rebuke them for “lowering troop morale” is disingenuous. The fact is this war, like Vietnam, cannot be won. Sending more troops will prolong the inevitable for the next administration to deal with. And who will suffer for this callous, political strategy? It will be the best and brightest of the working class. While politicians wrap themselves in the bloody

with the state of the music section. Currently, it consists of five scant half-pages, with only two providing any editorial content: Casey Rea’s weekly roundup and two reviews. I love the expansion of the food section. Food and the people who dedicate their lives to it make satisfying reading. A week ago, as I was reading the piece on Trattoria Delia, the dam finally broke: Why can’t I read an interesting feature on a band more often than three or four times a year? Or a club? Or a local label? Or an artist? Or something larger about music? Why do shows and events get promoted (the screening of Metropolis with live music by Charles, Dead or Alive comes to mind), but then we never hear about the performances afterward? As a person who lived in Burlington during the mid-’90s and moved here again in the summer of ’04, I’ve always equated this town with music. So why can’t Burlington’s alt weekly serve up the kind of music coverage — and writing — that your readership truly deserves? I realize blogs like Casey’s “Solid State” provide extra content, but this is a paper, after all. Please, let Casey out of his box. The poor guy is stuffed into that tiny space, with, what is it, a 4-point font? Please give music a bigger part of the Seven Days pie. Music and the people that make it certainly give

shirt of patriotism, it is those very soldiers they claim to “support� who are getting killed. What kind of support can that be called? Phil Hammerslough BURLINGTON

TO DIE FOR As someone who has worked long and hard to strengthen end-of-life choices, recent comments by those individuals opposed to the current PDD (patient directed dying) bill in the Vermont legislature are tough to witness. My request is that before you

write, you do your homework and try to be honest with yourself about your opinion — does it represent your own religious beliefs or does it reflect the reality of the current legislation? Contrary to those who misunderstand the legislation, no doctor is required to comply with a request for a prescription. The patient must initiate the process, must make three requests over a period of 15 days, and must be able to selfadminister the medication. The proposed legislation specifically states that euthanasia is ille-

gal. The patient must be able to take the oral medication, unaided. More than 600 doctors and nurses in Vermont have told Death With Dignity Vermont that they support the proposed legislation. Eight years of documented experience with essentially the same law in Oregon indicated no abuse of the law. During that time, Oregon has become a leader in the nation for palliative care improvement and hospice utilization. Passing the legislation is not an “either/or� proposition. In Oregon, in 2005, 92 percent of those who

used the law were in hospice care. A study by the Vermont Legislative Council, the legal arm of our legislature, debunked the scare scenarios of the opposition in their 2004 study. Scare tactics of the opposition are just that: their imagined scenarios just haven’t happened in Oregon, where the law has been in effect for nine years. A poll by a nationally respected pollster has shown that 78 percent of Vermonters, regardless of religious persuasion, party affiliation or region of residence, are in favor of the legislation. Nothing in the bill threatens disabled people. They will have the same rights as everyone else. Oregon has no record of any chronically disabled person using the law and no surrogate or guardian may act for the patient. I respect the rights and opinions of those who have moral or religious philosophies that cause them to oppose PDD for themselves, but I and most other individuals do not intend to allow others to limit the choices available to us at the end of our lives. Simply, decisions about death belong to the individual who is dying. This legislation is about strengthening that principle. Mark Furnari SOUTH BURLINGTON

SIREN CALL Please know the SAFER grant and the request for ambulances are not

joined at the hip [“Williston FD Seeks Full-time EMS Crew,� February 14]. Williston does not have to have both. There is plenty for firefighters to do without an ambulance. What the fire department is hoping to do by creating an ambulance service is to use it as a money-generating mechanism to offset the cost of more staff. This is not about improving care. Wendy James, EMS District 3 Medical Director, stated in an email to the Williston Observer last week, “Time of ambulance arrival is less important than care rendered in a timely fashion . . . For major trauma and cardiac patients, a minute or two will rarely matter . . . 20-30 minutes may for the most severe(ly) ill and injured. This is a very small number of people, if any in your area over the last few years.� Williston EMS Division has EMTs on scene very quickly. More times than not St. Mike’s is pulling in the driveway at the same time or within a minute or two. St. Mike’s average response time is 12 minutes. Having an ambulance on scene is not going to change the steps EMS takes, and, many times, the ambulance has to wait until the on-scene medics are done taking vitals and information before they can transport, anyway.

The heart of this system is a thermostatic valve which has a dial to regulate temperature. Water ows through the thermostat at terric rates of 8-20 gallons per minute. The water is emitted from the thermostat at your set temperature and it then runs to the volume controls. Volume controls are positive on and off valves that control each shower xture from showerhead to body spray to hand shower. Each shower xture can be run separately or all at one time. You can run multiple xtures off of one thermostatic valve because of the high ow rates. Thus thermostatic systems enable you to create your own unique shower experience. Please make sure to check with your plumber to ascertain your water usage capabilities. See the high tech diagram of a typical thermostatic system — or stop by Close To Home to explore all the latest in thermostatic systems and beyond!

AN IRREVERENT READ ON VT POLITICS

Gov. Douglas Stumbles on Several Fronts

involved the War on Illegal Aliens, the other the War on Drugs, and the third, perhaps most troubling, was the War on Truth and Accuracy. Sunday’s Burlington Free Press reported an eyebrow-raiser about a Middlebury farm owned by Gov. Douglas’ inlaws that has employed illegal immigrant farm workers from Mexico for the last four years! Veteran investigative reporter Sam Hemingway also added the rather juicy tidbit that our governor was well aware of it, fully cognizant the law was being broken. “I’m certainly aware they have Mexican workers, but I’ve never run into any of them when I was there,� Jimbo told Ol’ Sam. That’s a relief, eh? “Farm business people feel it’s appropriate to do this to be successful,� Douglas continued. “I don’t have any particular advice, other than to write your congressional members and tell them we need immigration reform.� Douglas’ remarks sparked a fiery reaction from the right-wing callers to “The Mark Johnson Show� on WDEV radio

Monday. They do not take kindly to lawbreakers and those who look the other way and condone criminals, and that’s exactly the boat they put our governor in. Meanwhile, over the mountains in 52 Church Street, Burlington eastern Vermont, veteran Windsor Across from Burlington Town Center County State’s Attorney Robert Sand 802.864.4238 has been increasingly outspoken on the M-Th 10-6, F 10-6, Sat 10-5 Closed Sun abysmal failure of the War on Drugs in Your Custom Design & Diamond Gallery • www.vermontjeweler.com this country and in Vermont. Last week, the Valley News’ Mark Davis reported on some rather newsworthy remarks Mr. Sand, a Pomfret Democrat, made at a County Democratic Committee forum in Hartland on February 12: Windsor County State’s Attorney Robert Sand voiced support for full legalization of marijuana and government regulation of heroin distribution last night, his boldest remarks yet in his campaign to decriminalize illegal drugs and abandon what he considers the failed “war on drugs.â€? In front of a supportive crowd of 60 inside Damon Hall, the veteran prosecutor said he has yet to be convinced that marijuana users should be treated as criminals. “No one has made the case to me that this is a substance that should be involved in the criminal justice system and all the extraordinary resources we are spending on it,â€? Sand said. Prosecutor Sand also wants to see a review of the current failed policy for dealing with heroin addiction. Treating users as criminals instead of addicts, notes Sand, has been a dismal failure. He has a point, does he not? So yours truly could not resist asking Vermont’s governor at his weekly presser last Thursday afternoon about the outspoken Windsor County state’s attorney who’s going around telling audiences marijuana should be legalized.

ermont’s fearless Republican leader, Jim Douglas of Middlebury, had a bad week. Not like him. He’s widely viewed as a cinch for re-election to a fourth straight term as Vermont’s chief executive in 2008, despite his GOP affiliation. Why? Because Gentleman Jim Douglas is a master of the middle. And the Democrats were simply unable to find a candidate to give him a close race in his 2004 and 2006 reelection bids (Peter Clavelle and Scudder Parker played sacrificial lambs). GOP Jim won each in a landslide. And, yes, this is the same state that in 2006 elected the first socialist to ever serve in the United States Senate! But despite his success in November, Gov. Douglas stumbled a couple weeks back when he tried to blame his lack of effectiveness in dealing with the sarcoidosis outbreak in Bennington on the administration of former Gov. Howard Dean. Douglas later went into damagecontrol mode and apologized for that. Then last week, the guv stumbled on two fronts — well, actually three. One

for the people of Vermont. The War on Drugs has been a disaster and everyone knows it. The socalled ‘illegal drugs’ are everywhere and we’ve created an enormous $400 billion criminal culture that’s clogged the courts and packed the prisons coast-to-coast. It’s time for the legislature to listen closely to what this brave lawenforcement official is saying.” Dream on! But at least the governor should have gotten his facts straight about Sand’s history of criticism of the flawed drug policy. He didn’t just start speaking out after his re-election in November 2006. Bobby Sand, in fact, went public with his criticism a few years ago, and he hasn’t kept it a secret. Rather, it appears to be a case of the Vermont press not shining a spotlight on his position. “The governor is flat wrong that I withheld my views until after the election,” Sand told the Valley News the other day. “And, frankly, it’s a little insulting to hear the suggestion that criticizing a flawed approach is some indication that I’m not going to be true to my oath of office. ” As far as we can tell, Sand first publicly called for decriminalizing marijuana in a February 2005 op-ed in the Valley News titled “Common Misperceptions About the Criminal Justice System.” Among the misperceptions this tell-it-like-it-is prosecutor cited were: “The criminal justice system prevents crime”; “Increased punishment increases deterrence”; and “The war on marijuana is winnable and worth fighting.” Sand wrote: “The reality is that marijuana is not a criminal justice menace. Police do not respond to pot-induced domestic assaults — alcohol-induced, yes, but not marijuana. “Instead of the vast resources devoted to the eradication of this prevalent weed, we ought to reallocate time and effort to the eradication of physical and sexual abuse of children (a war truly worth fighting), and adopt a public health approach to the problem of marijuana use and abuse.” He’s got a point. Sand, a 1987 Vermont Law School grad and the top prosecutor in Windsor County for the last eight years, even told the Rutland Herald’s Susan Smallheer about his personal pot past. The prosecutor admitted “that as a high school and college student he used marijuana, but that he hadn’t used it since 1982, although he said he might have smoked once at a party during law school.” He said he used it because of the social scene. Shocking! “It made me kind of paranoid and more reserved than I already

am,” Sand said. “I’m not proud of it; I’m not ashamed of it.” Sand told Smallheer he had been “expecting to be asked whether he smoked marijuana ever since he raised the issue about the war on drugs, and he was surprised it hadn’t been raised earlier.” He also pointed out that, despite the perception that very little emphasis is placed on criminal prosecution for pot possession, a recent study by the Vermont Crime Information Center found that in the past two years there were more arrests for marijuana than all other illegal drugs combined. Both Davis at the Valley News and Smallheer at the Rutland Herald reported in their pieces that gubernatorial spokesman Jason Gibbs had not returned their calls. Really? Ol’ Jason didn’t return ours last time, either. Busy guy. So our hopes were not high when we emailed Mr. Gibbs Tuesday morning seeking an audience over the telephone before noon. Bingo! The audience with the gubernatorial spokesman was granted. “The governor has a fundamentally different point of view on the issue of illegal drugs, and on those who want to poison our children for profit, than Mr. Sand does,” said Gibbs. “And they’re always going to disagree on this issue.” As for Gov. Douglas insinuating at his press conference that Sand had not been forthright with the voters about his legalize-pot position, Gibbs said, “The governor’s point was, the voters should have had the benefit of a debate.” Funny you should say that, Jason. Because Vermont Democrats are looking for a candidate who could effectively debate your boss in his 2008 bid for re-election. “Sand for Governor?” Interesting. The Other Issue — With the majority of Vermonters strongly opposed to Republican President George W. Bush’s War in Iraq, you’d think Republican Gov. Jim Douglas would have no trouble distancing himself from the White House’s bankrupt policy. We tried to give him the opportunity to do so at his last presser. “Don’t we all know now, Governor,” yours truly asked, “this was a mistake — the invasion of Iraq — wasn’t it?” Douglas: Well, Peter, you’ve asked that a number of times and it’s easy to second-guess the decisions after the fact, and I don’t think that’s useful. A lot of Vermonters have answered the call to serve. They’ve given it their all. We

need to honor their service and sacrifice, and I don’t think it’s For sound advice useful to look backward. I think with winning results call it’s more important to look forward.

Vermonters Lobby for Environmental Legislation in Montpelier BY MIKE IVES

MONTPELIER— Even 2-foot snow drifts can’t impede direct democracy — at least, that’s how the dozen brave souls who showed up for “Citizen Action Day” at the Montpelier Statehouse last Thursday, February 15, might have put it. One delegate crosscountry skied his way to representation. The turnout demonstrated “Vermonters’ ability to respond to challenge proactively,” said Johanna Miller, outreach director for the Vermont Natural Resources Council, which cosponsored the event. Scheduled nearly three weeks before the statewide Town Meeting Day on March 6, the longstanding event is designed to foster communication between Vermont’s environmental commu-

stormwater laws are very frustrating,” he complained. “You have to fight very hard for incremental progress.” “‘Profit above environment’ is represented in these halls all the time,” Deen admitted. Shumlin said that “citizens can help us get these bills through” in spite of oil-company lobbyists and other “usual suspects.” Still, asserted Andrea Stander, a citizen-delegate from Montpelier, Vermont’s Capitol Building will always be a people’s house. At the lunchtime session, Stander and Burlington Rep. Rachel Weston (D-Chittenden) discussed bill H.58, which would prohibit school buses from idling on school grounds. “I’ve seen [inexperienced]

ed, when citizens feel intimidated by the “massiveness of power.” A major proponent of climate-change legislation, Shumlin spoke with the assembled citizens about H.127, which would require 40 percent of Vermont’s electricity to come from renewable sources by 2018. “A lot of important leaders from the House and Senate came to speak with us,” noted Carl Eitner, an organizer who works on peak-oil issues in Montpelier. “I was impressed with that.” But the realities of citizenship aren’t always so pleasant, cautioned Anthony Iarrapino, an attorney from the Montpelierbased Conservation Law Foundation. Speaking with the assembled citizens, he shared concerns about inefficiency in

nity and its elected officials. Rural Vermont, Vermont Public Interest Research Group and others also provided funding. For participants at this year’s gathering — many of whom had never done political advocacy work before — the state’s central bureaucratic machine proved to be anything but coldly mechanical. “If you have something to say,” noted Caroline Sedano, a senior at Montpelier High School, the politicians “are willing to listen.” Along with fellow citizen-delegates, Sedano sat down with her legislators for a relatively unscripted lunchtime discussion. She wants them to consider Bill H.27, which would establish a redeemable tire deposit geared toward preventing illegal dumping. “I wish every day was Citizen Action Day,” said Senate President Pro Tempore Peter Shumlin (D-Windham). “Bureaucracies tend to be built for bureaucrats and lawyers.” So it’s understandable, he suggest-

the state’s Agency of Natural Resources (ANR). According to Citizen Action Day briefing materials, a “staggeringly low” 4 percent of ANR’s citizen complaints from 1995 to 2005 resulted in “enforcement actions involving fines.” “You can have incredibly strong Vermont laws,” Iarrapino said in reference to H.259, a comprehensive reform bill designed to bring accountability and transparency to the ANR. “But they’re not worth the paper they’re printed on unless they’re enforced.” Representative David Deen (D-Windham) is working to combat corporate pressures on government. His bill, H.309, would prohibit big-box developers such as Wal-Mart from receiving stormwater credits for converting farms into parking lots. VNRC water program director John Groveman claimed that’s exactly what Wal-Mart is attempting to do in an ongoing St. Albans case. “The big loopholes in the

people become effective advocates after coming to one of these days,” Stander said. “I’ve had lobbying conversations in the bathroom!” Jessica Edgerly, a community organizer with the Montpelierbased Toxics Action Network, agreed that grassroots advocacy work in Vermont isn’t just a publicity stunt. She suggested that informal conversations like the ones that spiral out of Citizen Action Day “hold so much more weight with the legislature, even more than traditional environmental advocacy.” In her nonprofit work, Edgerly reflected, “We see democracy at work all the time. Citizen Action Day is one more chance for residents to find a voice — and then learn how to use it.” Representative Deen had one caveat, though. “Make your voices heard,” he said in the hallway on his way to a committee vote. “Because the other side is already making its voice heard every day.” �

VT’s Foreign Dairy Workers Face New Hardship: Sending Money Home BY KEN PICARD

VERMONT — “Rita” says she’s always treated the Mexican workers on her farm like they were family. They’ve shared the workloads, gone shopping together, even had Christmas dinners together. Like many of her fellow dairy farmers in Franklin County, Rita (not her real name) and her husband have long depended on undocumented Mexican laborers to get their cows milked and fed, in large part because they’ve been unable to find American workers who are willing to fill those jobs. In the last two years, increased attention has been focused on Vermont’s foreign dairy workers who are in the country illegally. Rita has tried to protect her help from getting arrested. She now does all the grocery shopping for them — last year, two of her best workers were picked up during a trip to the supermarket; they were later deported. When the workers

denied. Rita claims she’s heard from other farmers in the area who have encountered similar difficulties. “Farmers up here are really, really scared to do anything with [their workers],” Rita adds. “If they caused problems I could see it, but they don’t. All they want to do is work.” Sherry Johnson is director of media relations at Western Union’s corporate headquarters in Englewood, Colorado. Without knowing the specifics of Rita’s case, Johnson could not comment on why she was denied access to the company’s moneytransfer services. However, she explains that annual limits are placed on the amount of money consumers may send, whether domestically or abroad. Some of those limits are set by the federal government according to Johnson, while others are

needed to send money home to their families in Mexico, Rita would handle the wire transfers at a nearby Western Union office. She did, that is, until a Western Union agent told Rita she’s no longer allowed to wire money to Mexico — or anywhere else. “All of a sudden, Western Union calls me up one day and says I’m shut off. They said I had sent too much money to Mexico,” Rita says. “They didn’t give me a reason. I just couldn’t believe it.” Until recently, Rita was wiring about $950 to her workers’ families in Guadalajara about once every three weeks. (Sending $1000 or more requires additional paperwork from Western Union.) In addition, Rita was wiring cash to her son who’s incarcerated out of state, so that he could buy goods at the prison commissary. Those wire transfers have also been

imposed by Western Union itself in order to prevent misuse of its system. She would not disclose what those limits are. “The fact that this individual was sending money on behalf of multiple workers leads me to believe that she may have met those thresholds,” Johnson says. “We would highly discourage that kind of activity because it could be construed as money-laundering activity.” Johnson insists that these limits are nothing new to Western Union, the world’s largest moneytransfer service, and that they are not specific to Mexico or other Latin American countries. Moreover, she says she has no knowledge that Western Union is cooperating with U.S. Immigration or Customs Enforcement to apprehend undocumented workers, either in

Vermont or elsewhere in the United States. “Western Union’s position has always been that determining somebody’s citizenship is a matter for law enforcement,” Johnson says. “It’s just not something that’s our area of expertise.” In a written statement, a spokesman for the northeast region of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement declined to comment for this story, except to say that his agency does not disclose the details of its investigative techniques. Vermont Ag officials have estimated that about 2000 undocumented workers, most of them Mexican, are on Vermont’s dairy farms. As Seven Days first revealed in June 2003, most of these workers are men who are supporting extended families in Mexico; they tend to stay in the United States for about two years before returning home. Western Union will not disclose how much money is sent annually between Vermont and Mexico, claiming it’s proprietary information. However, an April 2004 study by B. Lindsay Lowell of Georgetown University’s Institute for the Study of International Migration found that most international remittances sent from the United States go to Mexico and Central America — about $19.3 billion in 2003. They now outstrip the levels of foreign aid and tourism for those countries. The same study found that about 75 percent of those remittances are spent on household expenditures or basic needs such as food, medicines and clothing. For her part, Rita says she’s found a friend who will send money on behalf of her workers. However, she worries that this difficulty is yet another way of “harassing” Vermont’s dairy farmers, who are only trying to keep their farms operating. “It’s gotten so they’re making it harder and harder on us,” says this farmer of 38 years. “To tell you the truth, if they came in here and did one of those sweeps, a lot of these farms would go down the tubes.” �

Jersey Widow, New England Filmmaker Urge Support for 9/11 Ballot Measure BY KEN PICARD

BURLINGTON — When Lorie Van Auken wasn’t painting scenery last week for her daughter’s high school play in East Brunswick, N.J., she was pressuring federal officials to declassify the notes from a July 10, 2001, meeting between then-National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice and then-CIA Director George Tenet. Van Auken’s goal is to uncover another piece in the complex puzzle of why her husband, Kenneth, died in the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. Van Auken, 51, is one of the now-famous “Jersey Girls,” the four 9/11 widows from New Jersey who successfully lobbied Congress and the White House to create the 9/11 Commission. But, like many other families whose loved ones died on that day, she was dissatisfied and frustrated with the Commission’s findings. In her view, the official investigation and explanation of the largest terrorist attack on American soil were inadequate, superficial and “clearly a political cover-up,” one that demands a thorough second look. In two weeks, Burlington voters will be asked whether they agree with her. Van Auken has added her voice to a local group known as Vermonters for a Real 9/11 Investigation. The group has placed a nonbinding measure on the March 6 ballot in Burlington, calling on Vermont’s congressional delegation to “demand a new, thorough and truly independent forensic investigation” into the 9/11 attacks.

rationalization, they say, is to turn a blind eye to the real agenda that’s driven American foreign policy over the last six years. “I am disappointed that our congressional delegation weighed in as strongly as it did before the votes came in on the advisory measure,” Dunbebin says. “But I’m hopeful that as voters express their wishes on this subject, our politicians will listen. After all, we do pay them to listen to us.” Also lending support to the Burlington ballot measure is Kyle Hence, a New England filmmaker who produced the 2006 documentary 9/11: Press for Truth. The film, which recounts the story of the Jersey Girls and their efforts to push for the 9/11 Commission, is also based on the book The Terror Timeline by Paul Thompson. Thompson has compiled tens of thousands of documents and mainstream news reports published around the world, creating what many have called the most thorough and accurate timeline to date of the facts known about 9/11. Thompson’s timeline and Hence’s film reveal many inaccuracies, inconsistencies and distortions of the truth in the commission’s report. Hence, whose film has been shown worldwide — including a one-hour version on Al Jazeera television

We need our government to finally tell us what really happened on September 11. LORIE VAN AUKEN

Supporters of the ballot measure emphasize that it doesn’t advance one particular theory or explanation over another. Instead, it focuses on the need for a more rigorous examination of the scores of unanswered questions that have been raised by independent researchers, members of the intelligence community and 9/11 family members. Van Auken estimates that about 70 percent of family members’ original questions were either glossed over or totally ignored by the commission. “This ballot question will be the most important vote that Burlington residents cast on March 6,” says Doug Dunbebin, a former city councilor and coauthor of the Burlington ballot measure. “This is an incredibly important question to be asking.” Even if this ballot question succeeds, however, its impact is uncertain. All three members of Vermont’s congressional delegation have expressed opposition to the measure even before it’s been put to voters. David Carle, a spokesman for Senator Patrick Leahy, says in a written statement that Vermont’s senior senator “respects the work and the findings of the 9/11 Commission” and calls its report “the most credible, the most thorough and the most constructive investigation that has been undertaken about those attacks.” Leahy, he adds, “does not believe that re-doing the work of the 9/11 Commission should be one of the new Congress’ priorities.” Senator Bernie Sanders, one of Congress’ most outspoken critics of the Bush administration and its handling of the global war on terrorism, has expressed a similar reluctance to reopen the 9/11 investigation. Likewise, newly elected Congressman Peter Welch, who ran and won on a staunchly antiBush platform, “believes the 9-11 investigation was both thorough and complete in investigating and documenting the attacks,” according to a written statement from press spokesman Andrew Savage. But skeptics of the official explanation remain undeterred. Both Van Auken and Dunbebin point out that 9/11 has been used to justify everything from the attacks on Iraq and Afghanistan to the erosion of civil liberties, from domestic spying to the illegal detentions and torture of Americans and foreigners alike. To remain ignorant of the truth behind that

Reached last week in Washington, D.C., while he was lobbying lawmakers — two members of Congress have already agreed to co-sponsor a screening of 9/11: Press for Truth on Capitol Hill — Hence says he 2x5-VTFish021407.indd understands the reluctance of many public officials to reopen the 9/11 investigation. “I think the resistance comes from the fear of being labeled conspiracy theorists and being smeared because of it,” Hence says. “The fringe elements engaged in mere speculation and theories tend to cloud things and take attention away” from the many legitimate questions about how and why 9/11 was allowed to occur, he continues. These include such unanswered questions as: Who financed the 9/11 attacks? Why did U.S. air defense systems fail so miserably and for so long? And why was so much of the forensic evidence removed and later destroyed? The U.S. government spent at least two years and more than $70 million investigating President Bill Clinton’s extramarital affairs, Hence points out. Why, he asks, did it spend only $15 million and 20 months investigating the murder of nearly 3000 Americans? For her part, Van Auken says she has hundreds of questions of her own and is asking Burlington residents to stand behind those 9/11 families who are still pressing for answers. “Some people can’t stand to go back. And some people can’t move forward without understanding what happened,” she says. “We need our government to finally tell us what really happened on September 11 so those problems can be fixed.” �

One day in 2003, Chloë Kogan woke up and realized she was starving herself to death. “I was an unconscious anorexic,” says the petite blond woman, now a 24-year-old senior at St. Michael’s College. Obese during her youth, Kogan had managed to lose the pounds healthily, she says. But once she’d started obsessively controlling her calorie intake, she couldn’t stop. From 240 pounds, she fell to 90. On the day she hit that low weight — and realized what was happening to her — Kogan asked her mother to snap pictures of her emaciated body. Those snapshots, taken with a disposable camera, have become the centerpiece of her senior art project at St. Mike’s, which opens on campus this Wednesday. From the beginning, Kogan saw the photos as a form of evidence. When she realized she had an eating disorder, a possibility she’d ignored or dismissed in the past as a “cliché,” she felt a “desperation to hold on to this clarity,” she says. “God only knew if I’d wake up in the dark again.” Following her recovery, Kogan moved to Vermont from her native Montréal and decided to “do what I love for the next three

years,” she says — major in art. With the help of her advisor, fine arts prof Gregg Blasdel, she learned how to transfer her mother’s photos to canvas. Blown up to 31-by-47.5 inches, the grainy, textured black-andwhite images are “haunting,” as Kogan says. Two show her standing in a bathroom between a scale and a toilet decorated with a Hello Kitty figurine, her head outside the frame. Her bones are frighteningly prominent, and there are loose folds of skin on her buttocks and thighs. “To me that speaks of how blind you are” with anorexia, Kogan says. “How did that not register, that I had no ass? You can see my coccyx. It’s amazing, the things that you ignore, the physical red flags.” Her installation also includes sculptures that constitute further evidence of an eating disorder — hence the legalistic title, “Exhibit A.” A female mannequin torso is covered with bits of paper scribbled with calorie counts. A reproduced section of shower wall bears mats of discarded hair. But the most volatile piece of evidence — one that may not last much past the exhibit’s opening — is 150 pounds of animal fat. It embodies the

weight Kogan lost in her journey from “all” to “nothing.” Kogan says she wants to show people “how it felt to be fat. I want them to be overwhelmed.” Obtaining the material for the piece was harder than conceptualizing it. After some futile phone calls to slaughterhouses, Kogan tried Costco, where she was told, “No problem! We can do it in a weekend!” she says, laughing. But Kogan is dead serious when she talks about the impact she wants the exhibit to have on others. Besides dispelling some of the secrecy inherent in the disease, she hopes the images will show that anorexia is quite different from “trying to get down to a size 8 . . . It’s a disease.” Oddly, weighing 240 pounds and 90 made her feel similar: “calm, in control,” Kogan says. She believes the all-or-nothing mentality that fosters eating disorders can be healed, in the end, only by faith and trust: “Listen to your body.” � “Exhibit A: All or Nothing” opens Wednesday, February 21, with a reception from 5 to 7:30 p.m. at McCarthy Arts Center, St. Michael’s College, Colchester. The exhibit runs through February 27.

Supporters of locally owned bookstores will soon have one fewer option. The Book Rack & Children’s Pages is calling it quits. The small but vibrant shop tucked amidst the Essex Outlet stores is closing on March 11, according to an email this Monday from owner Elaine Sopchak. Why? “Our location was not the best, we had considerable competition . . . and personal commitments arose that made it impossible for us to give the store the attention it needed,” Sopchak writes. Unexpected “competition,” at least for her time, arrived in the form of Sopchak’s third child. She put the store up for sale, but negotiations with prospective buyers “fell through.” Sopchak is not going to disappear from Vermont’s literary scene, however. “I’m hanging out my shingle as a publicist. Archer Mayor and Howard Mosher . . . have agreed to become my first illustrious clients,” she reveals. Sopchak also is the assistant director of the Burlington Book Festival, a trustee at

the Brownell Library, and on the steering committee of the new advocacy group, Local First Vermont. “There will be plenty to do,” she says. PAMELA POLSTON

MIDD-LEVEL MOVIES

Does Addison County have an appetite for art flicks? Reception to recent showings of The Queen and Volver at the Marquis Theater suggests maybe. Patrons were “very excited” to see the Middlebury house broadening its focus beyond blockbusters, suggests Bill Shafer, who bought the venue earlier this winter. So he’s considering more of the same. The idea wouldn’t be to go exclusively artsy, or even with true indies, but to add more offerings along the lines of Pan’s Labyrinth, The Last King of Scotland and Venus — all films “in the top 30 to 40 ranking in terms of film grossing,” Schafer explains, “but a different flavor than your Spider Man.” RUTH HOROWITZ

He and partner Chris Byrne are providing “administrative support” to the struggling Burlington-based nonprofit, and will produce its annual festival in June. And did we mention Kadour hosts a monthly Burlington artists’ meet-up? He is also the Vermont editor of Art New England and, with Byrne, author

of the Vermont Art Guide. No wonder the man seems ubiquitous in the local art scene. At least he’s got more help: In addition to Byrne, Amanda SanFilippo came on last month as associate director of Kasini House.

Last year Burlington City Arts ceded the reins of the First Friday Art Walk to Ric Kasini Kadour; he proceeded to gather many more venues into the monthly event, and to publish a guide called “Art Map Burlington” under his eponymously named Kasini House. This month Kadour, who resides in both Burlington and Montréal, is reviving — for one time only — another former BCA project: “First 50.” The democratic exhibition, which presents 50 local artists selected by lottery, opens this Friday at Kasini House at 64 North Street. That address may sound familiar to Queen City art viewers: Until recently it belonged to Studio STK — the gallery and art-education facility owned by painter Sage Tucker-Ketcham. When she moved to new quarters at 12 North Street last month, Kadour took over 64. Everything fell into place when an apartment over the prospective gallery became available. “Kasini House is essentially getting a home,” he says. “That really cinched it for us, to live where we work.” The front part of Kasini House will be an “artshop,” featuring “products that artists make on the side — not their central work,” Kadour explains. For example, a Montréal costume and theater designer makes “these little dolls from remnants of costumes,” he says. He will also offer books and art supplies. The gallery space will present rotating exhibitions by a “permanent inventory” of artists — from Vermont, Montréal, Provincetown, Boston and New York. Kadour hopes to open with about a dozen. He also expects to offer residencies in the diminutive on-

Vermont audiences have seen teen actor Ben Van Buren on stage in Jim Lantz’s “The Bus,” and in Lyric Theatre productions of “Seussical the Musical” and “Fiddler on the Roof.” Now they can watch him on YouTube, too. Van Buren, a senior at Burlington High School, made a 2-and-a-half-minute musical film as part of his application to the Eugene Lang College of the New School in New York City. The admissions office lets applicants opt out of writing an essay by making a movie instead. “I felt it was a pretty easy way to show off my wackiness,” Van Buren suggests. After submitting the clip to the college, he posted it on the video-sharing site, where it’s been viewed more than 200 times in the past week.

Curses, Foiled Again Police quickly arrested a suspect for the armed robbery of Walter Ray Brown, 72, in Hartselle, Ala.: his next-door neighbor and grandson, Daniel Ray Brown, 22. Detective Kyle Wilson said Daniel Brown went to the victim’s house wearing a ski mask to conceal his identity, then brandished the handle from a hydraulic floor jack and told his grandfather, “This is a robbery. I need your money, and I mean it, Pa-Paw.” He grabbed Walter Brown’s wallet and started running away, but his grandfather tackled him.

Many borrowers are confused by the additional costs that are associated with mortgage loans. Federal law requires mortgage companies to disclose the CE loan’s annual percentage rate (APR) in 22 writing. The APR adds in the “other” costs of borrowing money.

Although it can be useful to compare the APR of different loan packages, it is much more effective to compare all the costs associated with the different loans. The APR can be manipulated by unscrupulous companies to appear lower than it actually is.

Unfortunately, these costs are not calculated exactly the same way by all mortgage companies. In general, the APR spreads out the up-front costs of points (if any), origination fees, prepaid interest and application fees over the entire loan term. This produces the “effective annual percentage rate”, also known as the APR.

all worthwhile human knowledge

Egyptian, you say? Not a chance. Middle Eastern, at least? We can’t rule it out, but the evidence is thin. Try Midwestern — specifically, Chicago circa 1893. We’re not sure who the composer was, but we do know the pivotal figure in drawing attention to this unforgettable tune (which, admit it, is running through your head right now). It wasn’t some eunuch in a caliph’s court, but rather a California impresario (and later New York congressman) named Sol Bloom. Bloom was in charge of entertaining the rustics at the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition. His assignment: Set up an amusement park outside the main fairgrounds as a counterpoint to the more highbrow offerings inside. Located on a tree-lined venue known as Midway Plaisance, what became known as the Midway was a huge success — the sideshow portion of state fairs and such has been called a midway ever since. Bloom contributed one of the biggest attractions himself, namely a traveling Algerian village he’d acquired the rights to that had been first shown at the Paris Exposition of 1889. The village was a hit mainly because it featured belly dancers, previously unknown in the U.S. Wishing to see the novel art form at close hand, the Press Club of Chicago invited Bloom to bring some belly dancers over for a private showing. The young entrepreneur gladly accepted, but on arriving at the club was dismayed to find the piano player at a loss for suitable music. Bloom later claimed he hummed the tune you’re asking about, then picked it out on the piano. The melody caught on and, since Bloom didn’t copyright it, was soon appropriated by Tin Pan Alley tunesmiths for their own compositions. Eventually it became the standard musical accompaniment for cartoon portrayals of snake charming and other exotica. (When sung with bawdy lyrics — there are several variants of uncertain provenance — it’s often known as the “Hootchy-Kootchy Dance.â€?) Not buying Bloom’s story? Here’s a more plausible scenario: He swiped — or at least riffed on — a traditional melody played by the Algerians, and songwriters who later saw the show at the Midway did likewise. In his Book of World-Famous Music, James J. Fuld says the tune’s opening five notes are identical to those of “Colin Prend Sa Hotte,â€? which appears in a French songbook from 1719. According to Fuld, a 19th-century compendium of old tunes called Echos du Temps PassĂŠ lists “Colin Prend Sa Hotteâ€? as a dancing song and says “the first phrase of the melody resembles almost note for note an Algerian or Arabic melody known as “Kradoutjaâ€? [that] has been popular in France since 1600.â€? That can’t be confirmed, as no printed version of “Kradoutjaâ€? is known to exist. Whatever the facts, let’s give an old BSer his due: Bloom introduced the tune to America, if only by paying the fare.

ipqljot!dfoufs!gps!uif!bsut

Shrewd thinking, Chuck. You’re right — bay leaves aren’t poisonous. Cooks remove them before serving because they don’t get soft unless you cook the bejesus out of them, and no one wants a bay leaf shard stuck between their teeth. But there are still circumstances in which you should fret. Once woven into wreaths signifying various honors, the fragrant leaves of the bay laurel tree, Laurus nobilis, have been used in cooking and medicine for thousands of years with few ill effects. Some people can get dermatitis from picking the leaves, and I heard about some Mexican specimens being infected with bacteria that could cause intestinal distress, but overall they’re about as safe as any other common kitchen herb. What could get you into trouble is that bay leaves look much like the leaves of their less edible relatives, such as the California bay laurel (Umbellularia californica), as well as unrelated and definitely inedible shrubs and trees such as the cherry laurel (Prunus laurocerasus). The aromatic leaves of the California bay laurel have been known to cause skin rashes and probably shouldn’t be cooked with, though they sometimes are. The cherry laurel is downright poisonous — its leaves contain a deadly compound of glucose and prussic acid. In 1783, English alchemist James Price deliberately drank a fatal mixture prepared from cherry laurel leaves after he’d been challenged by the Royal Society to prove he had transmuted mercury into silver and gold. You want to tempt fate with fresh herbs plucked from the forest, be my guest. Otherwise, stick with the version that comes in a tin.

VERMONTERS ON THE JOB

Keyed In

I NAME JOB LOCATION

IMAGE Jordan Silverman

t’s past midnight, your housemates are out of town, and you’ve just accidentally locked your only set of keys in your car. Who you gonna call? A quick scan of the Yellow Pages or a cellphone 411 will connect you with Les Koerner, a.k.a. “Mr. Keys.” (You’ll also find him under “A. Aaron,” which offers an alphabetical advantage in the phone book.) Koerner is the only solo 24-hour locksmith Les Koerner in the Burlington area. For a fee, Locksmith he’ll get you rolling again. Burlington The grizzle-haired, gruff, and articulate Koerner worked as a night locksmith in Manhattan for 20 years. “If the bad guys didn’t break into a stuck car, the city would tow it in the morning, so people were always working with a timeline, with car lockouts,” he says. He relocated five years ago, when Vermont’s AAA branch office offered him an automotive locksmithing contract. He misses New York for its Jewish delis and all-night dining options, but doesn’t mind the slower pace of work in the Green Mountains. “You’re always the shining white knight,” Koerner says. “I really enjoy my job.” SD: How did you become a locksmith? LK: I was a part-time super in Brooklyn, and as a part-time super you put in locks. When I opened up The New York Times to look for a new job, there was a locksmith looking for an apprentice, and I called him. SD: Has your work changed much since you started in Manhattan? LK: Automotive has changed quite a bit. Automotive has a lot of transponders now, which are these hidden chips in your keys, like a radio transmitter. When you put the key in, an antenna powers up the chip in the key. It has to have the right digital input for the car to get fuel and to start. So even if you have the right mechanical key and you turn it, nothing will happen. People don’t find out until they go to Wal-Mart to have a key made, and then wonder why it doesn’t start their car. They call the dealer, and then find out that a transponder key costs $125, $150, or in some cases $400.

SD: What’s the hardest part of your job? LK: Keeping up with automotive locks, because they’re constantly changing. The other stuff, not so much. Twenty years’ experience in Manhattan is like 60 years elsewhere . . . In New York I [did night work] for many different locksmiths. Each shop had a specialty that nobody did as well, and I was privy to all of it, all their tricks. Different little secrets, like keeping a magnet over a key machine. SD: What does that do? LK: You stick the key blank up on the magnet before cutting a copy. If it sticks, it’s steel, and you don’t cut it, because if you cut the $3 key, you ruin your $85 cutter. SD: How much do you charge? LK: It varies from job to job and when people call. For a car opening during normal business hours, I charge $55. At four o’clock in the morning, it’s $150. I answer the phone 24 hours, but that doesn’t mean it’s the same price, day or night!

SD: What’s the most common lockout situation? LK: A slamlock — where someone has a key and knob lock, and they go out and leave the key inside. Most commonly it’s in South Burlington, on a fairly new house, where the people have just moved. Wherever they came from before, they had to unlock the door from the inside to turn the knob and get out. To lock it, you had to turn the knob again, which gave you the chance to make sure you had the key. These new homes in South Burlington have Schlage locks in them, which always open from the inside. They’re better quality than whatever these people were used to, and when the outside is locked, they can still open from the inside. People are in the transitional stage [of learning that], and they lock themselves out. SD: You’re on call around the clock. What time of day do most calls come in? LK: Most stuff in Burlington is during the day. People tend to lock themselves out when it’s snowing or raining, because their minds are scattered. I seem to be getting all the night work, now. I don’t know whether anyone ever did it before. SD: What’s the most unusual job you’ve ever done? LK: Most of the interesting situations were in New York. Armored cars that [drivers] were locked out of because the locks malfunctioned — twice! I’ve had several situations where people were locked in bathrooms. One time in particular a woman was claustrophobic and very stressed. SD: Do you have to make sure that the person who wants into a vehicle or other locked space is the property owner?

LK: If someone has left the keys inside and pulled the door shut, I don’t question that much. If there’s a deadbolt, then they have to come up with proof that they live there, because you had to have a key and lose it. Opening a car is no big deal, especially if the keys are inside. But if someone is trying to make a key for a car, and they don’t have a key, I have to see the registration and the driver’s license, and they have to match . . . Otherwise I have to make some phone calls. SD: Is the profession regulated? Do you have to get a license or be certified? LK: It depends on where. In Vermont, no. In most places, the state regulates it. New York City has had licensing since the ’20s . . . it’s very easy. Basically they make you get fingerprinted, and two other locksmiths have to vouch that you know what you’re doing, and they check that you’re not a convicted felon. That’s it. SD: How do you know which materials to bring when you get a call? A lot of that is experience. On car lockouts, I have car-opening tools that I normally carry, but there are about four that I use predominantly, plus picks. SD: Do you have any advice for ways people can avoid getting locked out? LK: You should leave keys with trusted people. Also, I have an axiom: You should never have a lock on the door under your control that’s not in 100 percent working order, or to which you do not have a key. Sooner or later it will lock you out or lock you in. m

How Big Blue has changed the tone of Green Mountains culture

Tiny Trees Take Mill Brook Bonsai. Sandy Anderson opened Vermont’s only tiny tree emporium in Jericho in 1997, the year he retired from IBM. Anderson, 64, came to the U.S. from Scotland in 1952, when he was 10. After studying engineering at Duchess Community College near Poughkeepsie, New York, he went to work at the nearby Fishkill plant. “I was in middle management,” he says. “Logistics, planning and scheduling.” Anderson was later transferred to Manassas, Virginia. Then, in 1977, IBM sent him to Vermont; he and his wife, Trudy, bought a home in Jericho. Anderson worked at IBM 12 to 14 hours a day, sometimes seven days a week, he recalls. Grooming bonsai trees helped him to unwind. “I used to come home from work and veg out on my trees,” he says. “I don’t want to sound all Zen, but I used to sit there and become one with my trees.” In 1983, he and Trudy became two of five founding members of the Green Mountain Bonsai Society. Twenty-four years later, the GMBS

ifty years ago this month, IBM opened a plant in Essex Junction. The facility was filled with thousands of employees who produce microchips and . . . bonsai trees? Organic wines? No, these commodities don’t roll off the assembly line, but they are byproducts of Big Blue’s presence in Vermont. In fact, if you scratch the surface of many of the area’s attractions — the things that make the Burlington area a desirable place to live — you find some kind of connection to IBM. Company spokesman Jeff Couture offers some of Big Blue’s yearly stats as a way of illustrating its reach — payroll for 5700 employees: $350 million; IBM’s contribution to the tax base: $6 million; its donations to local school and charities: roughly $2 million; its overall economic impact on Vermont: estimated at $1 billion. But these numbers don’t reflect one of the biggest assets IBM has brought to the Champlain Valley: its people. The Essex Junction plant has changed over the years. Its employees once made memory modules for IBM machines; today they produce microchips or semiconductors for cellphones and video-game systems. The company has always relied on a workforce that can design these components and turn them out. Manufacturing and hourly jobs have typically gone to locals. Some engineers and managers have come from the University of Vermont and state colleges, but Vermont’s talent pool has never been big enough to satisfy IBM’s demand. Over the years the company has imported many highly skilled professionals — people Couture describes as interested in “taking on a chalEVENT: lenge and solving it.” “Remembering Big The employees that IBM has Blue,” Brownell Library, brought to Vermont make more Essex Junction, than microchips.

They start businesses, volunteer for nonprofits, and play a vital role in the schools. Over the years, they’ve populated Vermont’s civic and political infrastructure. Their contributions have never been summarized on a balance sheet, but transplanted IBM employees have clearly affected the culture of this small state in important and often surprising ways.

Champlain International Fishing Derby for several years, before his horticultural pursuits began to monopolize his time. But he points out that, while he was working, his wife, Trudy, was far more involved in the community than he was. She volunteered as the public engagement coordinator for the Chittenden East Supervisory Union when the Andersons’ three children were students. “I wrote newsletters, I helped teachers and school boards and district administrators communicate to parents and school boards. I helped them talk to people and facilitate meetings,” Trudy says. She also wrote grants to IBM to receive donated computers. “Sandy worked at IBM long hours, and I was out in the world doing things,” she notes.

Anderson hosts national bonsai experts, who give seminars on proper pruning. Last year, Anderson chaired the Vermont Flower Show. He also served on the board of the Lake

In 1998, one-time chipdesign engineer Ken Alberts launched Shelburne Vineyard, an organic winery. Alberts, 68, is originally from New York City, and has an engineering degree from New York University. He joined IBM in 1964, transferring to Essex Junction in 1969 from Poughkeepsie. He began growing grapes in his Shelburne backyard three years later. At first he made only small batches of wine in 5-gallon buckets. In the mid-1990s, while traveling on assignment to an IBM plant in Québec, he realized his hobby had moneymaking potential. “I noticed there were these commercial wineries there,” Alberts recalls. “And I said to myself, ‘If they can do it in Québec, which is farther from the lake and colder than here, we can certainly do it here.’” After Alberts retired in 1997, he secured a long-term lease on three

acres at Shelburne Farms. Then he partnered with another resident with winemaking experience. In 1999, they leased land for a second planting on a nearby estate. A new winery and wine-tasting facility on 13 acres south of Shelburne Village is in the works for 2007. Alberts doesn’t find his transition from engineer to cold-climate winemaker odd. He speculates that a significant percentage of IBM engineers have an “adventurous spirit.” In engineering, as in winemaking, he says, “You’re sort of developing something that is kind of new, and the probability of success is definitely not 100 percent. You’re willing to take a certain amount of risk.”

Green Mountain Mosque Amin Pothiawala, originally from Gujarat, India, came to Vermont from Connecticut in 1979. He and his wife raised their three children in Essex. Pothiawala, 58, started working as a independent techonology consultant when he retired from his senior engineering manager job at IBM in 2006. He also operates Pothiawala Enterprises, LLC. He rents trucks, finds clients in need of shipping, and recruits drivers — many of them job-seeking members of the Islamic Society of Vermont. Pothiawala helped establish the ISV in 1995. He helped fundraise to buy the Colchester mosque. Muslim men are obligated to pray together on Friday afternoons. Before the ISV owned the mosque, they lacked a place of worship in this predominantly Christian state. “We started Friday prayer in my house,” Pothiawala recalls. Today Vermont’s Muslim community is outgrowing the 5000-squarefoot space. A great many of those who come to the mosque work at IBM and UVM; it’s no coincidence the mosque is located halfway between the two, at Fort Ethan Allen. But IBM is far from the only engine driving growth at the ISV. The influx of refugees from Muslim countries has also had an effect. Pothiawala says he and his wife collect bicycles and clothing for refugees, and often give them rides. “Refugees that come, they don’t have anything,” he says.

Kids’ Friend in Court Helping the less fortunate seems to be a popular pastime among IBMers; company spokesman Jeff Couture points out that the company and its workers contribute heavily each year to the United Way. They also volunteer their time. IBM retiree John Wilson of Hinesburg has chosen to pitch in through Vermont’s guardian ad litem program. Guardians ad litem are volunteer advocates assigned to children in the family court system. Wilson, an electrical engineer who retired in 1991, joined the program in 1993. “You have to work with the lawyers and the social workers, the teachers sometimes,” the 65-year-old explains. “You get reports from doctors or schools. You attend case reviews and team meetings related to the child’s situation. And talk to foster parents, and visit homes.” He’s worked with lots of kids in 14 years. “I carry a caseload of around 25,” Wilson says. AMIN POTHIAWALA

“I’ve had some kids for 10 years. I’ve never tried to add up the number I’ve had, but it’s got to be easily 150 or more.” Wilson says two other former IBMers have also become involved in the guardian ad litem program. “Engineers are problem solvers,” he says. “That’s the way I look at the job. These kids have problems. What’s in their best interest, and how do you solve it? What resources do you use? There are a lot of professionals you deal with who are paid to solve those problems and, as a volunteer, you don’t have to solve them yourself. But mustering resources or making the communication is sometimes critical to getting the problem solved.” Wilson says he might not have come to Vermont if he hadn’t gotten the job at IBM — he’s originally >> 26A

from a small town in Kansas called Cherryvale. He and his wife moved here in 1969, after he graduated from Northwestern; she got hired at UVM and later founded an educational software company. “Vermont just happened to have two jobs, and we bit,” Wilson says. “I can’t say we knew a whole lot about Vermont before we came, but we think it’s the best base of operations you could ever get now.”

Relief from Abuse South Burlington resident Mary Alice Schatzle, 49, has a similar story. She grew up in Cold Spring, New York, across the Hudson River from West Point, and was among the first computer-science majors at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. When she graduated in 1979, “the world was kind of my oyster,” she says. “I had lots of job offers.” It came down to a choice between working for Honeywell in Arizona, and IBM in Essex Junction. She thought the Burlington area sounded like fun, and it wasn’t as far from home. Twenty-seven years later, Schatzle is still at IBM, working as a “computer architect in the integrated supply chain organization.” In other words, she works with software that helps the company determine which products to build in which facilities. She received her Master’s degree in computer science from UVM in 1986. From 1987 until 2000, Schatzle volunteered with Women Helping Battered Women. For the first few years, she had a weekly shift in their family shelter, and later served as an officer on the steering committee. “I think it’s important for people to give back to their community,” she says. In 1997, Schatzle became a founding board member of the Samara Foundation, whose mission is to raise money to support Vermont’s gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender population. Samara gives scholarships to high school students. Past grant recipients have included the AIDS Project of Southern Vermont and Transgender Day of Remembrance. She served until 2002, and recently returned to the board. Schatzle came out as a lesbian after moving to Vermont, and was one of the founding members of IBM’s national gay and lesbian diversity task force. There weren’t many white-collar women at IBM when she arrived, she says. In her 200-person unit, there was only one other professional woman, she says. “All of the others were local women who were hourly employees.” The percentage has changed, but the field is still dominated by men. “Semiconducting and manufacturing is a nerdy kind of business,” Schatzle admits. “It attracts physicists. It’s just not always a realm that attracts women.”

MS Support Some IBMers have helped found groups that fill a community need in Vermont. Bill Boyce of Underhill says he didn’t exactly start the Chittenden County multiple sclerosis support group he’s been facilitating for the past 15 years, but he was essentially its first leader. Boyce got involved with the National Multiple Sclerosis Society after his wife, JoAnn, was diagnosed with the disease in the 1982. At the second meeting of the support group, the man leading it told the participants he would no longer be attending. “I said, ‘You’re not going to lead us anymore? Then get the hell out,’” Boyce remembers. “Then everybody looked at me and said, ‘You’d be a good leader.’ That’s how it all started.” Boyce, a native of Dayton, New Jersey, started at IBM as an entry-level manufacturing operator on the night shift and later became a manager in the semiconductor development lab. He moved from New Jersey to Virginia, then here in 1978. He retired in 2001. “I didn’t want anything to do with this place at all,” Boyce says of Vermont. “All I knew was that it was very cold. Eskimos and all that. But they told me that if I moved, they would let me manage the department.” Boyce has adapted to the cold climate and is an active outdoorsman. He volunteers as a hunting-safety instructor, and in 2000 was named Vermont’s hunting instructor of the year.

Disabilities Advocacy Like Boyce, Paul Betz of Cambridge was spurred to action by a disabled family member — his son was born with cerebral palsy in the 1970s. Betz helped start a Vermont chapter of United Cerebral Palsy. Now 61, Betz moved here in 1970 from Rochester, New York, to take a job as a quality engineer at IBM. His wife was from Enosburg; she died the year Betz retired, in 2001. Betz says he helped start the CP group because every year United Cerebral Palsy had a telethon and all of Vermont’s contributions would go to the nearest chapter, in the Boston area. “We got a parents’ group together,” he recalls. “There were probably 10 or 12 couples, all of whom had kids who had been diagnosed with CP.” In 1979, Betz was appointed vice chair of the governor’s Developmental Disabilities Council; he served until 1984. These days he works as a substitute teacher three days a week at the Hyde Park Elementary School, where he sees himself as an unofficial mentor to some of his kids. “I love it,” Betz says.

arl Mongeon admits that he wasn’t comfortable speaking before large groups of people in the past. But as an IBM employee in Essex Junction for more than 25 years, he was one of the thousands of IBMers who lost a big chunk of money in 1999 when the company switched from its traditional pension plan to a cash-balance pension plan. In response, Mongeon mustered up the courage at IBM’s 2002 shareholders’ meeting in Savannah, Georgia, to confront then-CEO Louis Gerstner face to face. Standing at the microphone in front of several thousand people, Mongeon pointed out to his top boss that while the value of his own pension was being slashed by 47 percent, when Gerstner retired he would receive $1.1 million in severance pay and 100 percent medical coverage for him and his family. “As soon as I made that statement, my microphone was shut off,” Mongeon recalls. “You want to talk intimidation? I was just shaking.” These days, Mongeon sounds a very different tune when he describes speaking his mind to the bigwigs at Big Blue. As vice president of the Alliance@IBM, a nationwide “local” of several thousand IBM employees across the United States, Mongeon has been willing to go to the mat on behalf of his fellow employees, whether to secure medical benefits for retirees, advocate for safer working conditions in the manufacturing facilities, or advise workers about age-discrimination lawsuits and elevated cancer rates. Mongeon, who succeeded former Alliance VP Ralph Montefusco of Burlington in 2005, is just one of the dozens of Vermont-based IBMers who have consistently made their voices heard by the global high-tech giant. While IBM employees have had a dramatic impact on Vermont’s culture (see accompanying story), Vermonters have also affected the culture at IBM. In fact, since the union’s formation in 1999, state residents have consistently held leadership roles and been actively involved in shareholder initiatives, including one — which has received shareholder support year after year — that would cap executive compensation. The Alliance is somewhat different from traditional unions in that it’s not officially recognized by management and is not yet able to collectively bargain on behalf of its members. Also, unlike other unions, the Alliance’s membership is open to all IBM employees, regardless of the type of work they do for the company. Why have Vermonters played such a central role in the union? Alliance President Linda Guyer, who works at the IBM facility in Endicott, N.Y., offers an interesting theory. “If you go through all those cold winters, you’ve got to have a lot of chutzpah,” she says with a laugh. “In certain places, we have passionate people who don’t mind being public,” she continues. “A lot of people are very afraid of being treated badly, or being fired or intimidated for being in a union. Not in Vermont.” One theory about why Vermonters have been so active has to do with the union’s history, Mongeon suggests. In 1999, when IBM made changes to the company’s pension plan, then-Congressman Bernie Sanders hosted a town meeting on the controversy. More than 1000 affected IBM employees and family members attended. “It went all across socioeconomic boundaries, whether you were an engineer or a manufacturing worker or a manager,” Mongeon recalls. “Everybody was affected. The anger was running really high. “Most Vermonters are hardworking and have a good work ethic,” he adds, “but we don’t like to be taken advantage of.” These days, the Alliance’s role is growing, as IBM shifts from its traditionally large, centralized facilities to more remote worksites. According to Guyer, about 40 percent of IBM employees in the United States now work from home. Alliance organizing happens largely online; each month, www.allianceibm.org gets more than 30,000 hits. (The union has only two paid employees). Apparently, the union is perceived as a threat — the company blocks Alliance@IBM email messages from being delivered to its employees. For his part, Mongeon isn’t surprised that Vermonters are so integral to the union; it’s simply a reflection of their community activism in general, and their historical role within the company. “This plant in Burlington is one of the stalwart plants,” he says. “It’s always come through when IBM needed it.” �

Since the union’s formation in 1999, Vermonters have consistently held leadership roles and been actively involved in shareholder initiatives.

Holocaust Awareness Other former IBMers have enjoyed a second career in Vermont schools as well. Gabe Hartstein of Burlington retired in 2001 and now teaches algebra at the Community College of Vermont. The 70-year-old native of Hungary, a Holocaust survivor, also volunteers to speak to younger Vermont students about his experiences during World War II. For the past 13 years, he’s visited

between five and 10 schools annually to tell how he evaded the Nazis. His family fled Budapest thanks to Raoul Wallenberg, a Swedish diplomat who helped thousands of Jews leave Hungary and escape the concentration camps. Hartstein says students now know about the Holocaust, but it remains a distant event to them. “They are interested in meeting a survivor,” he says. Hartstein moved to New York City in 1955, and received a Master’s degree in >> 28A

Transplanted IBMers have also influenced the civic and political culture of Vermont. In addition to owning the Shelburne Vineyard, for example, Ken Alberts has spent a decade on Shelburne’s planning commission, and 18 years on the selectboard. John Dinklage has a similarly lengthy record of service in South Burlington. The retired semiconductor engineer moved to Vermont in 1968. He came from the Fishkill plant, but is originally from Kansas City, Missouri. Dinklage was on the South Burlington City Council for nine years, the zoning board of adjustment for seven, and also for the past seven years has chaired South Burlington’s busy development review board. “Everything that happens passes through this board,” Dinklage says. “South Burlington has come into its own as more than just a suburb of Burlington.” Dinklage also points out that his wife, Alida, has been very active in the community, too. She’s volunteered at the Flynn Center and served on its board, been on the Vermont Symphony Orchestra’s education committee, and volunteered in South Burlington schools. Today you can find her volunteering as a docent at Burlington’s ECHO Center.

Progressive Banking If you saw Richard Kemp, 74, at a protest or a political rally, you’d probably never guess that he once worked in human resources at IBM. Kemp transferred to Essex Junction from Westchester, New York, in 1968; he retired in 1983. Since coming to Vermont, the African-American activist has served on the board of the Peace and Justice Center, the Shelburne Craft School, the Vermont Community Loan Fund and CCTV, which produces “Near and Far,” his interview program on public access channel 17. Kemp is a member of the Progressive Party — though in 1984 he was a delegate to the Democratic National Convention, when Jesse Jackson ran for president. Kemp sits on state and city Progressive Party committees. He’s run for the state legislature and justice of the peace in the past, and served two years as Ward 5’s Burlington City Council rep, from 2001 to 2003. Kemp has also worked with Burlington’s Sister 2x6-VT911022107.indd 1

RICHARD KEMP

City committee for Puerto Cabezas, Nicaragua, and has coordinated the Vermont Committee on Southern Africa. Over the past decade, he’s helped send two tons of textbooks from the UVM Medical School to a university in Ghana. Kemp’s latest project is establishing a microbank in Malawi with $7000 in donations, mainly from Burlington’s Unitarian Universalist Society and City Market. The Foundation for International Community Assistance in Washington, D.C., will run the bank, based on the model popularized by 2006 Nobel Peace Prize winner Mohammed Yunus. It will make smallbusiness loans to poor people, mainly women, who would otherwise have little access to capital. “I have become a progressive industrial banker,” Kemp says with a chuckle. “That’s dynamite. Absolutely dynamite.” He’s working on a second bank, in Haiti. Kemp concedes that his progressive causes might sometimes seem at odds with his former job at a multinational corporation, but he has fond memories of IBM. “It was kind of a fun job,” he says. “It paid quite well . . . and it had enormous health benefits for children and spouses.” Kemp has six children, four of whom still live in Vermont, along with several of his 13 grandchildren. “It was a great deal,” Kemp says of his time at IBM. “I enjoyed working there.” �

TAKING NOTE OF VISUAL VERMONT

Climate of Concern

A

INUIT CLOTHING MADE FROM CARIBOU FUR, IN THE DARTMOUTH COLLEGE COLLECTION

week after digging out from the Valentine’s Day blizzard, global warming may not be on the minds of most Vermonters. But even a whopper snowstorm doesn’t negate the body of evidence of disturbing climate change — released recently by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change — that warns of more serious consequences if the human race doesn’t get its act together now. Taking action — if only of the consciousness-raising kind — is exactly what an increasing number of artists, teachers and gallery curators are doing these days. Several current exhibits and lecture series in Burlington, Middlebury and Hanover (see sidebar) suggest that “Think globally, act locally” has survived bumper-sticker banality to find new use in the art world; the old slogan deftly sums up the bifurcated mission of eco-minded artworks and educational efforts. Not that art and environment are strange bedfellows. As the film An

Inconvenient Truth recently reminded us, eco-consciousness was kicked into gear with the help of a singularly profound visual image: the first photograph of Earth from space. The fragility of the planet has inspired aesthetic imagery since at least the Earth Art movement of the late 1960s and early ’70s. British artist Andy Goldsworthy,

to name one prominent figure, has for years been making transient “sculptures” with elements such as sticks, grasses, sand and snow that underscore the mortality of nature. Locally, Vermont sculptor Kate Pond has taken a broader view — of Earth’s place in the solar system — creating more permanent, iconic installations that mark the passage of time. Artistic attention to the environment now reflects the sense, in the general population, of impending crisis — of not just mucking up the planet but possibly causing irreversible catastrophe. Until recently, the climate-change crowd “has been a head-based movement — extremely rational, filled with scientists and things like that,” says Bill McKibben, author of The End of Nature (1989) and the forthcoming Deep Economy. “It’s good to be expanding.” A Ripton resident and scholar-inresidence in environmental studies at Middlebury College, McKibben notes that, since the ’60s, “there’s been an explosion in environmental writing — as the planet has suffered, the literary world has flowered.” But, he adds, there’s “been no significant art around climate change, as contrasted with, say, AIDS.” Maybe it’s because “climate” is so big, and the villain is “unpleasantly all of us,” McKibben suggests. But that void is beginning to fill, spurred in part by phenomena such as Hurricane Katrina and its tragic aftermath. Those searing images “will be as long lasting as the 9/11 ones,” McKibben believes. What the terrorist attack and the devastating storm have in common — aside from the loss of lives and property — is that both shook the American public out of complacency: Bad things can happen here. An Inconvenient Truth showed us that bad things have been happening, all over the globe, for quite some time. Katrina was just the tip of the, well, melting iceberg. McKibben was scheduled to give a lecture last Thursday at the Middlebury College Museum of Art entitled “The

Arts and the Environmental Crisis,” on how the visual and literary arts are influencing the debate about climate change. The talk, which was canceled because of the snowstorm, was also to precede a reception for Robert Adams’ photographs of not-so-pristine forests in the American Northwest. Other lectures coming up in March will put art in the context of conservation and social responsibility. In Burlington, a current University of Vermont course on environmental art taught by painter Cameron Davis has engendered a public lecture series at the Firehouse Center entitled “EnvironMENTAL: Earth-Minded Art.” A collaboration with Burlington City Arts, the five talks are intended to augment Davis’ class and to “maintain the momentum” of a recent exhibit at the Firehouse called “Human = Nature,” Davis explains. She is particularly excited about the next speaker, New York-based eco-artist Jackie Brookner, on March 1, known for her “Biosculptures.” Created in collaboration with scientists, communities and policy makers, the plant-based systems are both public art and water remediation projects. Davis notes that Brookner’s experiences with storm water should be of particular interest in Vermont. Davis, who has long been involved in planet-conscious projects, says she has been inspired not just by McKibben’s scientific writings but his musings on art. In a 2005 article for the webzine Grist, “He was saying, ‘Where’s the global-warming art?’” she recalls. “Since that time there has been a huge amount of art responding to global warming. It just shows how quickly people become aware. It’s quite remarkable.” That this new awareness is culturally inclusive is evident in a current exhibition at the Hood Museum at Dartmouth College entitled “Thin Ice: Inuit Traditions Within a Changing Environment.” Curator Nicole Stuckenberger, a native of The

Netherlands, is a fellow in Dartmouth’s Institute of Arctic Studies. The college owns extensive polar-expedition archives dating back to explorer Vilhjalmur Stefansson (1879-1962), who founded the school’s Northern Studies program. “Thin Ice” draws from that collection as well as from the Smithsonian, and examines the indigenous culture’s relationship to, and artistic expressions of, nature and weather. The Inuit may live much closer to nature than most Americans do, but “there is still this idea in our society that things are connected with nature,” Stuckenberger says. When people talk or write about 9/11, for example, “everyone says it was a beautiful, sunny day,” she notes, “as if nothing bad could happen.” With the grim prospect of global warming, all the days ahead will be challenging. But if art “helps us digest what is happening to us,” as UVM’s Davis suggests, perhaps art can also help define what can, and should, happen. m

Photo Finish Book review: The Double Bind by Chris Bohjalian

S

“

o we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.” The last words of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby have endured because they convey a wealth of yearning; of brooding STORY over lost years and hopes unfulfilled. Jay MARGOT Gatsby is one of literature’s great failures: HARRISON He lived the American Dream and lost it, burning with the brilliance of the Jazz Age The Double until he was snuffed.

liarly American fear of downward mobility. Anyone could become homeless someday, his example suggests; those who succeed simply have farther to fall. All this helps explain why, when Bohjalian decided to create a fictitious counterpart of Bob Campbell, he placed him in a world in which Jay Gatsby is real, rather than fictional. We discover this in the early pages of the Burlington-set novel, before we’ve even heard of Bobbie Crocker, the aged photographer whose schizophrenia left him homeless. The novel’s protagonist is Laurel Estabrook, the young worker at “BEDS” who takes possession of Crocker’s photos after his death. In the Prologue, we learn that Laurel’s life was fractured by a brutal attempted rape that occurred while she was biking in the woods near Underhill in her second year at UVM. The remembered terrors of that day make the young woman nostalgic for the “safe haven of her childhood in West Egg” — the Long Island town Fitzgerald created as a setting for Gatsby’s mansion. If you don’t catch the literary allusion, you soon will. When Laurel is shown Crocker’s photographs, she finds images of Tom and Daisy Buchanan’s mansion,

familiar from her childhood. (For those who need a refresher of 10th-grade English, Daisy was Gatsby’s married lover.) The images convey an odd intimacy, as if Crocker belonged to the family. Laurel shows them to Pamela Buchanan Marshfield, the couple’s haughty elderly daughter, who denies all knowledge of Crocker but dispatches her lawyer to retrieve the photos from BEDS by any means he can.

is that it radically alters our view of everything that’s happened so far — in some ways clarifying our vision, in other ways leaving it hopelessly muddled. To pull off a twist like this, an author needs to have absolute mastery of his narrating voice — the novel needs to be so artfully constructed that we can reread it and hear fore-rumblings of the seismic shifts to come, warnings we missed the first time around. It’s a formidable feat for any writer,

In Double Bind, Bohjalian has crafted a complex, multilayered plot, guaranteed to keep the reader in suspense. Laurel begins to suspect there’s something hidden in Crocker’s images: something the Buchanans want to keep that way. She becomes obsessed with the mystery, though she knows her single-mindedness may make her appear “as delusional as a good many of her clients.� Why can’t she let it go? Because another of Crocker’s photos depicts that fateful road in Underhill, and a distant girl on a bike who may be Laurel. Bohjalian has crafted a complex, multilayered plot, guaranteed to keep the reader in suspense. In that respect, The Double Bind is a far cry from his previous novel, Before You Know Kindness, which built to an all-too-predictable anticlimax. Whatever you may think of Bohjalian’s appropriation of a classic novel, the Gatsby story still has a lot of melodramatic juice to squeeze, and he does it well. Pamela Buchanan, unflinchingly loyal to a family she knows could be considered “decadent, careless, unfeeling,� is a substantial antagonist. One wonders if Laurel, like Gatsby and perhaps Crocker before her, will fall victim to the power of the Buchanans’ old money to twist the truth. Ultimately, though, the proof of a psychological mystery is in the pudding — that is, in the denouement. The most one can say without spoiling this one’s ending

FROM THE DOUBLE BIND:

and Bohjalian’s craft doesn’t quite get him there. He narrates The Double Bind in a voice that’s too obviously, distinctively, his — from the eloquent descriptions to the occasionally stilted diction and a tendency to belabor the point. “She was an altogether most pathetic little victimâ€? is how he concludes the tale of Laurel’s ordeal in the woods, which is otherwise a skillful, harrowing piece of writing. It’s only when Bohjalian stops telling us what we already know and starts showing us things that he achieves effects comparable to those of Campbell’s photographs. We feel that haunting quality in his updated version of the piece of industrial land Fitzgerald called “the valley of ashesâ€?: “Then [Laurel] was on the highway itself, rolling past the ambitionless office parks built upon the ash heaps and the remnants of a world’s fair. Past the Unisphere and the skeletal remains of the once great pavilions: the visible detritus of that era’s unachieved aspirations. Didn’t she see daily the castoffs and casualties sprung loose by an ever-spinning globe?â€? Like the fictional Bobbie Crocker, Bob Campbell may have been one of those casualties. But the book — and accompanying exhibit — ensure that the things he saw and captured with his camera won’t be forgotten. ďż˝

“And for an old man, he sure had a lot of spunk,� Laurel said, conjuring a picture in her mind of Bobbie Crocker and recalling some of their last conversations. They were, invariably, as interesting as they were demented. They were not unlike the sort of banter she shared with many of the people who passed through the shelter, in that she could safely presume easily half of what he was telling her was a complete fabrication or delusion. The difference — and in Laurel’s mind it was a substantial one — was that victimization was rarely a part of Bobbie’s anecdotes. This was atypical for a schizophrenic, but she understood it was also likely that she only saw him at his best: By the time she met him, he was once again being properly medicated. Still, he seldom complained to Laurel or lashed out, and only infrequently did he suggest that he was owed anything by the world. Certainly, Bobbie believed there were conspiracies out there: Usually, they had something to do with his father. But as a rule he was confident he had dodged them.

T EXHIBIT “Buyer’s Market” Michael Smith, Axel Stohlberg and Ethan Azarian: Paintings and mixed-media works. Flynndog, Burlington. Through March.

ARTWORK “Sin City” by Michael Smith

PHOTO Marc Awodey

he Chinese New Year, Carnival in Rio de Janeiro and Mardi Gras in the Crescent City — not to mention the Queen City — mark February as one of the calendar’s most impish months. So it’s the perfect time for Burlington’s Flynndog to roll out an exhibition of puckish paintings by Michael Smith and playful sculptures by Axel Stohlberg, two of Vermont’s most whimsical artists. Their co-exhibition is entitled “Buyer’s Market.” Stohlberg and Smith present iconic images of quirky homesteads in an odd variety of painterly and sculptural settings. Smith’s “Seamless” is a paean to deer camp. Four blaze-orange cottages and five trees with camouflage canopies fit together like puzzle pieces in the 16-by20-inch acrylic painting. Smith is a brilliant colorist, and his flat violet sky is as perfect as any color-wheel harmony. An equally successful, and surprising, light-blue border makes the fluorescent orange even more electrifying. Smith’s most textural piece is “Broken Home.” The 18-by-24-inch suburban idyll bears particolored swirls of paint as thick as stucco. All design elements are edged with substantial lines, like panes of stained glass. Church references abound in Smith’s work; in this one, an uneven orange cross appears near the center of the house’s strange Georgian façade.

Stohlberg and Smith present iconic images of quirky homesteads in an odd variety of painterly and sculptural settings. “Sin City” is more overtly ecclesiastical. The 28by-48-inch vertical piece hangs with two similarly scaled works in a section of the exhibition subtitled “Worship in Our Community.” In “Sin City,” a red apple, an allusion to the “forbidden fruit,” dangles from heaven over a village of white buildings, each bearing a collaged image of the all-seeing eye from the $1 bill. Jewel-like bits of glass are set into the border. Smith’s canvasses are rich in subtle humor — his city seems to profit from sin without appearing overtly sinful. Stohlberg’s sculptures feature little wooden houses, each a solid block with peaked roof. “As far as my sculptures go, I find myself using a house shape very often. It has so many meanings for me and everyone,” Stohlberg notes in his artist statement. “Using a house shape very often” is a bit of an understatement: More than 30 of Stohlberg’s untitled house pieces appear in this exhibit. Some, with spindly legs and jagged details, border on the kind of surrealism one sees in Tim Burton films. Other houses have vaguely anthropomorphic features. Like strange wooden toys, a group of three black-painted pieces, about 7 inches tall, rest on three small shelves on the west wall of the gallery. The house at the left stands on two twisted-wire legs. The central house resembles the head of a bird standing atop a long, curved piece of wood and a vertical pile of blocks, and the house at right is inside a box-kite-like structure. Unlike Smith’s visu-

al puns and double entendres, Stohlberg’s works don’t advertise a meaning. That lack of specificity enables viewers to read into the works whatever they choose. Stohlberg’s works tend to be painted in solid colors and vertically oriented. Among the tallest is a 40-inch, glossy red, totem-like piece: a cracked block house standing on four antique leg forms. Ethan Azarian is included in the exhibition announcement, and his name is posted on a gallery wall, but there appears to be only one minor construction by him in the show. “Winter Village”

consists of nine 3-by-4-inch blocks painted with jumbled, cartoonish houses akin to Smith’s. The nine blocks are clustered in a metal real-estate sign frame that is painted white and has bent, rusty legs. This assemblage is mounted on the gallery wall. “Buyer’s Market” is a lighthearted exhibit on view through March. It’s doubtful there’s any owner financing available, but in times like these, you never know. m Got a comment on this story or ideas for another one? Contact Marc Awodey at awodey@sevendaysvt.com.

Fleming Museum, UVM, Burlington, 656-0750. February 21, 12:15 p.m.

SIZE MATTERS “Big Beautiful Paintings� is an apt title for the canvasses of Gillian Klein, Lucinda Mason and Nancy Taplin, currently exhibited together at Burlington’s Firehouse Gallery; the works range from big to bigger. All three artists take a consistent approach to imagery, and each fully explores a specific theme. Klein’s is nocturnal cityscapes; Mason’s, postmodern design-inspired abstraction. Taplin’s palette is lighter, her ribbons of color more organic-looking. It’s a strong trio of top-flight Vermont painters. Pictured: Taplin’s “I Can’t Hear You.� ‘FUTURES IN ART’: A workshop for emerging artists addressing what it means to be a working artist, education alternatives, professionalism, creating a portfolio and other issues. Helen Day Art Center, Stowe, 253-8358 or www.helenday.com. February 23, 9 a.m. - 4 p.m. $30.

Do you or your family suffer from:

BUILDING ON The architectonic “Full Scale Drawings” exhibition by architect/artist John Anderson at Pine Street Art Works is steeped in non-objective abstraction. Many of the pieces are monochromatic, and the largest ones range up to 8 feet tall. Whether by chance or design, Anderson also has work in the 2006 AIA-Vermont Awards for Excellence display at Burlington City Hall this month. Connoisseurs of contemporary architecture ought to seek out both shows. Pictured: Anderson’s “Yellow Graffiti Wall.”

The Shrinking Game Old game franchises don’t fade away. They just get smaller. As portable gaming consoles have become more powerful, they have also turned into a home for wayward console games. “Sid Meier’s Pirates!” and “Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters” on Sony’s PSP and “Diddy Kong Racing” on the Nintendo DS have taken games we’ve seen before, trimmed them down to portable size and sent them back out to spread some of their original fun. While none of these games counts as a port — a copy of an original on a new game system — each sticks to the formula laid out by its predecessor, creating a fraternal twin that, while not identical, is unmistakably in the family. If you loved the parent, you’ll enjoy the offspring. The move from consoles to portables seems like a craven effort by publishers to squeeze as many extra pennies as they can out of their intellectual properties and gamers’ interest. But they also offer a convenient way to keep a popular set of game characters and settings alive as technology advances. When “Ratchet” first hit the Play-Station 2, it featured graphics and game play as good as the system could offer. These days, compared with the power of the PS3, the original “Ratchet” runs a little clanky. Shrunk down for the PSP, the missing detail and polish disappear, and the original glee of smashing waves of enemies with an arsenal of crazy weapons comes gushing back out. Similarly, “Pirates” was revolutionary when it sailed onto the PC in 1987. A major overhaul of the game in 2004 for the Xbox helped bring it up to current standards. Still, its minigame format seemed to be from a different era. Brought to the

portable, the idea of short and simple interactive activities makes sense again. From “Tetris” to “WarioWare,” portable gaming has always thrived on bite-sized fun. “Diddy Kong Racing” on the

the classic fun of “Diddy” feels pinched on the small screen. Sometimes, you have to give a little to get something little.

By Linda Thistle

Who’s It For: If you liked a game on the console, chances are you’ll enjoy the same stuff when it’s pocket-size.

“Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters” Sony PSP $39.99 E for Everyone “Sid Meier’s Pirates! Live the Life” Sony PSP $29.99 E for Everyone “Diddy Kong Racing DS” Nintendo DS $29.99 E for Everyone

Nintendo 64 was an effort to pump a little more life into the console by spinning off one of the best party games created — “Mario Kart.” For 10 years, Diddy would pop up in various titles, but never in a starring role. With the return of his racing game, it’s like having an old friend over for a visit. For each of these games, all the trimming-down required to fit a console game onto a handheld platform come at a price. The fluid, run-and-gun style of play on “Ratchet” becomes somewhat awkward on the PSP, and the endless pauses to load data on “Pirtes” slow down the action. Even

SUDOKU

If You Like This, Try That: “Jak and Daxter” made the move from PS2 to PSP long before “Rachet,” but offers a similar level of quality and action. “New Super Mario Bros.” for the DS remains one of the best transfers of a console game to the handheld market. Best Part: “Ratchet & Clank,” “Pirates” and “Diddy Kong” each offer networked play. Shooting, sinking and racing your friends and anonymous network opponents make sitting at the bus stop a lot more enjoyable.

theborowitzreport Pre-war Intelligence Came From Magic 8-Ball

M

uch of the pre-war intelligence that led to President George W. Bush’s decision to invade Iraq in 2003 came from the popular fortune-telling toy known as the Magic 8-Ball, according to documents released today. As Congress debates the war in Iraq, scrutinizing the pre-war roles of such former administration figures as Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and his deputy, Paul Wolfowitz, the news that a small plastic ball shaped the decision to go to war came as nothing less than a bombshell. But transcripts obtained under the Freedom of Information Act showing conversations between Messrs. Bush, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, and the Magic 8-Ball make it clear that the ball had the deciding vote when it came to the administration’s pre-war planning. At one point of the transcript, Mr. Bush asks the Magic 8-Ball flat out, “Does Saddam Hussein have weapons of mass destruction?” The ball responded equivocally – “Reply hazy, try again” – prompting the

president to repeat his question. Once Mr. Bush asked the question again moments later, the Magic 8-Ball was more definitive: “Signs point to yes.” At the White House today, spokesman Tony Snow defended the Magic 8-Ball’s role in gathering pre-war intelligence but said that the ball had left the administration in 2004 to spend more time with its family.

Does Saddam Hussein have weapons of mass destruction? Mr. Bush But in response to a reporter’s question about whether the United States planned to go to war with Iran, Mr. Snow raised eyebrows by responding, “Better not tell you now.”

SEVEN DAYS | february 21-28, 2007 | astrology 41A

free will astrology RE AL february 22-28

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Have no fear of

the damp and the dark and the cramped. In a place fitting that description, you can track down clues to a mystery that will inflame your curiosity and educate your soul; you can tap into a fresh surge of courage that’ll render at least some of your suffering irrelevant. Expect a miracle to appear in the shadows, Aries. It could resemble a cornucopia spilling over with diamonds and potatoes, or maybe a charred fireman’s helmet bedecked with sexual roses and fresh $20 bills.

TAURUS

(April 20-May 20): Don’t you dare get superstitious on me, Taurus. Just because you’ve had more than your fair share of luck lately doesn’t mean that you’re now going to get less than your share. It is possible that you’ll have to work harder to continue benefiting from what has been coming pretty easily. And it may be the case that you’ll be pushed to take on responsibilities that you assumed were covered by other people. But that doesn’t mean you should lower your expectations. If anything, you should ask for even more fun, fascination and freedom.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Calling all you

big fish languishing in small ponds, all you flashy amateurs who’ve been avoiding tougher audiences, all you closet geniuses who have used shyness as an excuse to keep your idiosyncratic brilliance under wraps: This is your wake-up call. Sneak or saunter or leap up to the next level of excellence — or else! Or else what? Or else your pretty fantasies will start to decay. Sorry to be so pushy, but I’m aching to see you seize the starring role in the unlived chapters of your life story.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Question: Which

part of you is too tame, overcivilized and superdomesticated, and what are you going to do about it? Answer, from Jason R., a Cancerian reader: “I was like a mole in a suburban backyard. I had just one little path I trod each day: to the compost pile and back. I chewed on orange rinds and leftover

cabbage. I was tamed by the comfort of my familiar environment, content to have a narrow vision. But then I was eaten by a hawk, and became part of a wild, free body. Now I perch on the tops of trees and the peaks of roofs. I survey giddy-wide horizons, from the river to the mesa and far beyond. I have a wealth of choices. Where to fly? What to hunt? Who are my allies? My thoughts breathe deep, like the slow explosion of sun on the morning lake.”

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You’re strong medicine

these days, Leo. You’re 100-proof mojo. You might want to consider pinning a warning label to your shirt or jacket. It could say something like “Caution: Contents are hot, slippery, and under pressure. Use at your own risk.” It’s not that you’re evil or neurotic. It’s just that as you revisit and revision your deepest psychosexual questions, you have so much cathartic potency that you’re likely to transform everything you touch into a more authentic version of itself. People with weak egos will be afraid of that, while those with strong constitutions will love it.

LIbRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “Dear Rob Brezsny:

Two months ago I met the first person with whom I am completely psychic. We fell deeply in love, of course. But it turned out that neither of us was ready or able to fulfill the potential of our connection because we are nowhere near as profoundly in love with ourselves as we are with each other. The good news is that through my love for him, I have intensified my desire to learn to love myself. The bad news is that we can’t really be together as fate intended until we upgrade our self-love. -Lucky Yet Unlucky Libra.” Dear Libra: I hope your testimony will inspire other Libras to boost their luck in love by deepening their love for themselves. Astrologically speaking, it’s a perfect time to attend to this worthy project.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): In the coming

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Here are tips on how to get the most out of your time with the other signs of the zodiac during the next three weeks. With Sagittarius: Think bigger and go further than you normally do. With Libra: Enjoy beautiful things together. With Cancer: Make yourself easy to give to. With Taurus: Let him or her help you get less theoretical, more practical. With Aquarius: Collaborate in making the flow of ideas crackle and splash. With Capricorn: To deepen your bond, laugh at hypocrisy together. With Pisces: Join together in feeling rich emotions about a person or situation you both care about. With Gemini: Dare to express three of your different sub-personalities. With Aries: Remember that spontaneity leads to truth. With Leo: Playfully brag to each other. With Scorpio: Dive down together, going deeper than you could have by yourself.

weeks, you’ll attract cosmic assistance whenever you add to your repertoire, branch out artistically or socially, or start gathering seed money for a project that may take years to ripen. Mythically speaking, the coming weeks will also be a good time to have intimate relations with a fertility god or goddess, and to plant magic beans that will grow into a beanstalk that reaches the sky. “Is that it?” you may be asking. “Nothing but good news?!” My only caveat, which is pretty minor, is that you might add a few pounds to your frame. If you’re a hetero woman, that could be caused by a pregnancy unless you’re careful.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): In a couple of weeks it will make sense to aggressively insert your vivid presence into the thick of the action. There will be dizzying opportunities to chase down and intoxicating connections to forge. But it’s premature to get riled up about all that yet. For the foreseeable future, Sagittarius, take your inspiration from Franz Kafka, who gave the following advice in his book The Great Wall of China: “You need not do anything. Remain sitting at your table and listen. You need not even listen, just wait. You need not even wait, just learn to be quiet, 3x2-mensroom052505 5/23/05 PM willPage still, and solitary. And 3:06 the world freely1offer

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19): There are two basic approaches to manipulating people. In one, you manipulate people solely for your own good. In the other, you do it equally for your good and their good. In the second type, moreover, you deeply empathize with and even become more like the people you want to influence. You allow them to work their magic on you at least as much as you work your magic on them. Guess which kind I’m urging you to express right now, Capricorn.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Human

beings have employed steel to make tools, weapons, and buildings for many centuries. But it wasn’t until 1913 that they discovered stainless steel, a stronger and purer version of the metal that’s virtually rust-free. I predict a comparable development for you in the coming weeks, Aquarius. Some essential resource that you’ve been enjoying for a long time could become even better and more useful. It won’t happen all by itself, though. You’ll have to want it and seek it and agitate for it.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): “Think

dangerously!” read the headline on today’s bright yellow piece of junk mail. That sounded inviting. I’m always eager for help in overthrowing my certainties. But the product being promoted inside the envelope was just a piece of propaganda: a magazine touting Libertarian dogma. I threw it in my recycling bin along with all the other doctrinaire crap I constantly get from fundamentalists of every stripe, including rightwing religious nuts and leftwing atheists, New Age pollyannas and intellectual cynics, science-haters and science shills. Now here’s the climax of this horoscope, Pisces: Really think dangerously. Question every belief, your own as much as everyone else’s. French author André Gide said it best: “Trust those who are seeking the truth; doubt those who find it.”

My dream vacation would be... to visit Australia. I’d love to go down under, bask in the sun, and see kangaroos! If I weren’t a Realtor, I would be a... graphic designer. I don’t know a lot about it, but I love creating brochures and flyers. I’ve also helped a

air . . .and I’m not brave enough to skydive. My weirdest superstition or paranoia is… well, it’s more of an obsessive behavior, but I fold used plastic grocery bags into little triangles to store them. I have a drawer full of them at home.

few of my friends design invitations and wedding programs. My favorite VT restaurant is... Black Sheep Bistro in Vergennes. It is a quaint little place with fantastic food! Something I would like to do, but haven’t had the chance... I would love to take a hot air balloon ride. I think it would be amazing to experience floating around in the open

The best part of winter is... sledding. I’m not into skiing or snowboarding, but give me a snow tube and I’m ready to go flying down the hill! One thing people are surprised to find out about me is... that I come from a huge family. I have five sisters and two brothers spreading over a 19-year age range. Needless to say, family gatherings are always entertaining. My favorite hobby is… beading. I was just recently introduced to beading by a friend of mine and now I love making funky jewelry.

film review

Breach HHHH

T

BAD FAITH Cooper plays an enigmatic agent who turns his back on God and country.

he irony of writer-director Billy Ray’s career is that his most credible work concerns pathological liars. In 2003 he gave us Shattered Glass, the story of a New Republic journalist found to have fabricated stories. His latest offers the spellbinding account of a real-life double agent’s downfall. Chris Cooper turns in a finely tuned performance as Robert Hanssen, a senior FBI operative who sold classified information to the Soviets for two decades in what’s been called “the worst intelligence disaster in U.S. history.” In addition to being a traitor,

Hanssen was a world-class superfreak — a fanatical Catholic (and Opus Dei member) who attended mass daily while at the same time dating strippers and secretly videotaping himself in bed with his wife for the entertainment of friends he met on the Internet. When organizers of an inhouse sting operation assign an ambitious young agent-in-training to act as his assistant, Hanssen’s proclivities as a perv are cited as the reason for special interest. Ryan Phillippe plays Eric O’Neill. The film is based on his account of events leading to the spy’s 2001 arrest and conviction. According to his superior (Laura Linney), Hanssen’s lewd postings on certain websites were causing concern within the Bureau, and officials at the highest level wanted detailed reports on his day-to-day activities. The truth was far more elaborate and, well, like something out of a movie: The entire department Hanssen had been assigned to run was a ruse. Of the dozens of people working in it, only O’Neill and the sting’s target were unaware that it was a trap. It’s fascinating to follow the relationship between the two men as it evolves. The inexperienced but intuitive O’Neill starts off in a position of awed subservience. His boss’ intellect is legendary. Before long, he’s convinced Hanssen is simply misunderstood, and informs Linney’s character

that he wants no part in a misguided lynching. That’s when she lets him in on the operation’s true mission — catching a master spy in the act and putting him away for life. The mission pretty much hinges on the rookie’s ability to improvise constantly and to keep Hanssen convinced that nothing’s up. Not the simplest of challenges, given that his boss’ bullshit detector is legendary. Amazingly, the younger man proves his senior’s match, and the film’s climactic moments feature a white-knuckle duel of wits. Ray’s latest may not be in quite the same league as, say, The Good Shepherd, but it is frequently riveting stuff. Cooper’s a wonder to behold, as always, and Phillippe and Linney do understated, craftsmanlike work. What prevents Breach from being an even more satisfying experience is the script, cowritten by the director with Adam Mazer and William Rotko. In the end, its greatest strength is also its most notable weakness. It presents us with a warped and tantalizing riddle — what the hell was with this guy? — but never gets around to solving it. Certainly in the years since his imprisonment, Hanssen’s motives and contradictions of character have been sorted out to some degree. Several books have been written about him. The case has even been the subject of a TV miniseries (“Master Spy”). Without doubt, more is known than is disclosed here, and some viewers may feel shortchanged by the degree to which the moviemakers leave them in the dark. After all, what’s the point in telling the most significant counterespionage tale of our time and keeping the most compelling part top-secret? RICK KISONAK

Bridge to Terabithia HHHH

S

CROSS OVER This family film from the wrenching Katherine Paterson novel reminds us that the best fantasy is rooted in reality.

eldom has a movie trailer been as misleading as the one for Bridge to Terabithia, the new adaptation of Vermont author Katherine Paterson’s 1977 young adult novel. The trailer, which features kids frolicking in a magical world, makes the movie look like a transparent attempt to cash in on the popularity of the Harry Potter franchise. A recent skit on the E! channel’s satirical show “The Soup” mocked the trailer — and, by extension, the film — as a collage of fantasy clichés. Which is too bad, because Bridge to Terabithia is none of that. It’s not about living fantasies but about creating them. It’s also, for an adaptation of a classic distributed by Disney, remarkably un-cutesified. Even a controversial exchange of words about salvation and damnation, which has fueled attempts to ban the book from school libraries, made it onto film. Jesse (“Jess”) Aarons (Josh Hutcherson) is a country boy with financially struggling parents and four sisters. (“I’d trade ’em all for a good dog,” he grouses.) Like many a sensitive kid in junior high, he’s learned to duck his head and keep quiet — especially when bully Janice Avery comes around. Then Leslie Burke (AnnaSophia Robb) moves in next door. Her status as Cool, Quirky Girl is established when she enters the classroom with an overflowing backpack, wearing an outfit Molly Ringwald might have sported in 1985. Leslie’s parents are writers who — gasp! — don’t have a TV. Bolder than Jess, Leslie shows him he doesn’t have to knuckle under at school. She also leads him across a creek into a stretch of forest where the two children use their imaginations to create a magical world — Terabithia.

Here’s where the fantasy part comes in. Terabithia doesn’t focus on the sumptuous banquet of make-believe offered by the Potter or Lord of the Rings adaptations; it’s about how that fantasy gets cooked up in the kitchen. Rambling in the woods, Jess and Leslie let their imaginations ramble along with them, and some of their creations come to life — or appear to. Director Gabor Csupo (Rugrats) and screenwriters Jeff Stockwell and David Paterson (the novelist’s son) have found subtle ways to show how young minds draw beauty and terror from the mundane, as when a dark clump of trees seems to become a menacing giant, or a pesky squirrel grows fangs and attacks. Csupo draws good performances from the young actors, too. Hutcherson is a solid, nuanced presence; when Jess feels pain, you can see it in his eyes. Robb (Because of Winn-Dixie) has a wispy voice and seems almost too old for the part, as if she’d rather be posing on red carpets than pretending she believes in fairies. Still, her expressive face sells the character. Those fine performances give real heft to a tragic event late in the story. Like the adult fairy tale Pan’s Labyrinth, Terabithia presents fantasy as a way of sur-

viving realities that are hard for anyone — let alone children — to face. Unlike Pan, Terabithia is probably not too disturbing for most young viewers. The “tearjerker” part of the movie is presented with such lowkey realism that it may even hit adults hardest, while kids struggle to absorb what’s going on. (The scene that drops like a bomb in the novel passes very quickly on-screen.) Those who go to the theater expecting spells and epic battles may be disappointed — if they aren’t too busy sniffling at the end of the story. But adults and younger viewers who recognize themselves in Paterson’s characters will be rewarded with a film that doesn’t talk down to anyone. MARGOT HARRISON

Integrate it: Your life. Your goals. Your education. At UI&U you can integrate your education into your work life and personal goals.

fickle fannie BY DAVID DIEFENDORF

“

READ THIS FIRST: This week, as always, the things

“At Green Mountain Coffee Roasters I really get to use the education I’m obtaining at Vermont College of UI&U because I integrate my study into my daily work.”

Fannie likes (shown in CAPITAL letters) all follow a secret rule. Can you figure out what it is? NOTE: Fickle Fannie likes words. But each week she likes something different about them — how they’re spelled, how they sound, how they look, what they mean, or what’s inside them. Fannie’s NAME has yet to be revealed to her admirers.

Rebecca K. Sahel Marketing Operations Manager Green Mountain Coffee Roasters

But their CHANCE to find out is gradually, or abruptly, slipping away. Fannie always had a habit of getting things done at the MINUTE.

She conjectured that it might have something to do with a STRAW. Fannie’s supporters made a valiant DITCH effort to save her. But everyone had to accept that she was now on her LEGS. She and some friends had a kind of SUPPER before she departed. When she was gone, a mournful bishop administered the RITES. Despite her untimely demise, Fannie managed to have the WORD. E me with your Qs or comments (dd44art@aol.com). Difficulty rating for this puzzle: HARD AS A COFFIN NAIL. If you’re stuck, see the HINT on this page. If you cave, see the ANSWER on page 47A. So much for Fickle Fannie’s tastes this week.

FICKLE FANNIE HINT: Something is missing.

Recently she puzzled over the Bible’s meaning of the JUDGMENT.

It feeds a Village “The Porch� puts rochester on the restaurant map by SUZANNE PODHAIZER

T

he Village Porch Bar and Bistro has only been open for a couple of weeks, but, like its namesake wrap-around veranda, feels like it’s been there forever. On a recent Saturday night, the Rochester restaurant was filled with old friends, most of whom were greeted by name before they’d had the chance to shake

al fresco dining, promises co-owner Dean Mendell. The porch swing would have been more enticing on Saturday night were it not piled with two feet of snow. Mendell, a builder, did the restoration on the building, including the conversion of an original mantel into a sit-down bar. At one end of it, a bartender in a velvety black beret with a sparkly pin mixed up sidecars and gin and tonics for a pair of

Strangers — in this case, a few outdoorsy out-of-towners — also got a full serving of Vermont hospitality, along with some really good food. That’s the charm of “The Porch;� it’s both homey and haute. The restaurant occupies the ground floor of a renovated Victorian home at the corner of Route 100 and School Street. In keeping with the season, red holiday ornaments dangle from the railing, and white holiday lights and votive candles sparkle in the windows. When the weather gets warm, tables on the porch will provide for

cheerful looking older patrons. Between drinks, she chatted with a young man dressed in Carhartts and a hoodie. They were soon joined by Mendell, who sipped a Bloody Mary and exchanged pleasantries with patrons as they arrived. The restaurant’s decor is charmingly mismatched. Connie Mandell, Dean’s wife and restaurant co-owner, also runs the Occasions catering business. Eclectic samples of her fine linens covered the tables in various shades of red or pink — perhaps a holdover from Valentine’s Day? One was a rich crimson such as you might find in

a fancy dining room, another was salmon, and still another was printed with a country-home motif of delicate pink flowers. A different pair of salt-and-pepper shakers sat on each table. Even the menus were individually crafted. In the back dining room, a sizeable cutout in the wall allows for an unhampered view into the kitchen. Through it, patrons

can watch Chef Luke Stone prepare their dinners. The well-seasoned young chef put in time at The Bobcat CafÊ in Bristol and Christophe’s on the Green in Vergennes before joining the team at The Porch. His edible offerings are two-tiered.

A mesclun salad is always available — and costs $6.50 — but the ingredients change regularly. Last week, the greens came tossed with oranges, red onions and goat cheese in a basil vinaigrette. The pricier specials change weekly depending on the availability of ingredients and the whims of Chef Stone.

lime-scented tomato broth full of carrots, onions and zucchini. Parsley caper pesto topped the soup, but the portion was too small to stand up to the soup’s other flavors. Special entrées cost more than the pub food — between $13.95 and $19.95 — but are worth it. Each dish is composed of perfectly orchestrated ingredients, and the portion sizes are just right. The roasted pork loin arrived with pear compote and a generous scoop of creamy mashed potatoes. The meat was perfectly rosy, and the wellseasoned sides perfect complements. The meal was good, but Chef Stone’s creativity and skill really shone in a scallop dish.

mocked by food snobs — but for extra-special occasions, $72 bottles of Veuve Cliquot are offered as well. Desserts are advertised on a chalkboard above the bar. The pastry in an apple strudel was lovely, but too much cinnamon in the fruit filling gave the dessert a slightly bitter edge. A chocolate hazelnut torte was pleasant but not thrilling. It was cake-like in texture and had a delicate hazelnut flavor, but the flavors didn’t pop. A couple of disappointing desserts couldn’t possibly spoil such a delicious dinner. This village of just over a thousand between Brandon and Bethel doesn’t seem a likely

Tender nuggets of seafood had been gorgeously seared, then cut nearly in half and stuffed with savory mushroom duxelles. The scallops were served on a puddle of silky smooth, spring-green leek puree, and a truffle sabayon sauce that was lush and sensual. Like the food, the drink menu runs the gamut from folksy to fine. Coors and Amstel Light hang out at the less expensive end of the beer menu, and local microbrews like Wolaver’s and Otter Creek join Guinness at the other end. Most of the wines by the bottle cost less than $25, but those who want to spend a little bit more have a couple of options, too. Sparklers include Freixenet and Korbel — both of which are often

destination for fine dining. But Rochester’s arts scene is growing, and good food is part of the creative-economy equation. With its relaxed atmosphere and friendly staff, the Porch also appeals if you want a couple of beers and a burger at the bar. Dean says business has been brisk since they opened two weeks before Christmas — not bad, considering that January and February tend to be slow for restaurants. Even without the outdoor swing, it’s a good place to hang out. >

On Saturday night, the vegetarian entrée was grilled polenta with roasted vegetables and basil aioli. A previous menu featured hand-made tagliatelle pasta with wild mushrooms, pearl onions and corn. Carnivorous types can choose among such daring dishes as duck breast with blood orange sauce accompanied by a salad of oranges, olives, pomegranate and basil, and smoked flank steak with a chipotle demiglace, spinach and potatoes. A crab-cake appetizer from the pub menu was delicious — chunks of tender, sweet crab paired perfectly with spicy julienned vegetables and creamy sesame sauce. “Connie’s Harvest Vegetable Soup,” also from the pub menu, consisted of a

Most diners weren’t daring enough to brave the blizzard on Valentine’s Day, but local restaurateurs claim they more than made up for it over the weekend. At Bistro Sauce in Shelburne, only 10 people came for lunch on Wednesday and 14 for dinner. “Four of them were kids,” adds co-owner Emily Iliff. Drifting snow kept her from opening back up on Thursday, but Friday was a different story. “We’d brought in all of this beautiful food, so every night we had awesome specials . . . Friday, Saturday and Sunday brunch were phenomenal,” Iliff reports. Even though weekends are usually brisk when Valentine’s Day falls in the middle of the week, Iliff seemed confident that the weekend was busier than it would have been sans storm. Ozzy Giral, who co-owns The Blue Cat Café in Burlington with his wife Mariasha, actually closed their restaurant’s doors due to the inclement

green is good Magnolia Café and Bistro is looking to be the first Burlington-area restaurant to receive an eco-friendly certification by the Green Restaurant Association. The nonprofit has been around since 1990 with a goal to help restaurants be more environmentally sound — from the napkins on their tables to the hand dryers in their rest rooms. Restaurants pay a fee for membership. Then the GRA works intensively with owners or managers to earn certification. It involves achieving “foursteps” toward sustainability as a show of good faith. Required changes might include instituting a composting program, giving employees information about sustainability or eradicating all Styrofoam products from the premises. To remain certified, the restaurant must complete four additional steps each year. Right now, Magnolia coowners Shannon Reilly and July Sanders are working on their steps. These include replacing their toilets with ones that use less water, and switching from conventional light bulbs to compact fluorescents, Reilly says. But Magnolia was striving to be eco-friendly even before they’d heard of the GRA. “We wanted to take how we live at home and see if we could make it work at a restaurant,” Sanders explains. Currently, they’re using biodegradable toothpicks, refillable pens made from recycled tires and cloth napkins, which Reilly says is “almost unheard of” for a breakfast and lunch joint. According to Sanders, the people at the GRA were pretty impressed with the efforts they’d made thus far. “They said we’re one of the greenest restaurants they have,” he claims.

weather. “I came in at noon, picked up four wines from the wine cellar, drove back home and had a great time,” he says. He had planned a special, French-influenced, five-course tasting menu with matching wines. Instead, he ended up running the French food over the weekend. “Friday and Saturday were ridiculously busy,” says Giral. While the café always has a line on weekends, “it was our second busiest weekend ever . . . It wasn’t even fun; we were just running around.” Good for business, not good for sanity. The Green Room stayed open; one staff member actually snowshoed to work. Chef Dave Pratt says parties never called to cancel their reservations, they just failed to show up. “It’s kind of what we were expecting,” he suggests. But the restaurant wasn’t completely dead, and the weekend was busy. The best part? On Thursday, everybody got to take off and go skiing. One restaurant that didn’t seem to suffer much from the weather was L’Amante. Sixty intrepid lovers filled the dining room on Wednesday night. Co-owner Kathi Cleary “was surprised by how many people showed up.” Did they drive? Probably not — most hailed from Burlington. The restaurant benefited from a busy weekend, too. Cleary chalks it up to the cancelled Mardi Gras parade.

virtual vegan Most 14-year-olds are more concerned with entertainment options than the ethics of eating. But Allie, a young technophile who “lives in the middle of nowhere a.k.a. Vermont” isn’t your typical teen. For over a year, she’s been keeping a blog called “My Life as a Vegan,” on which she chronicles her favorite meatless eats and provides tips for living la vida vegan. Allie’s posts run the gamut from a recipe for meat-free fajitas and vegan latkes to pitches for foods she enjoys. Although many of her favored products are processed foods from afar, like Boca Burgers and Tofutti Cuties, she has a few local loves as well. On February 4, Allie wrote glowingly about Bove’s marinara sauce, “. . . . I’d like to inform you all of a great marinara sauce . . . it’s amazing.” Her list of acceptable fast-food options gives a nod to Burlington’s biggest bagel business — Bruegger’s made the cut with a handful of vegan bagels and a few soups, too. Although she uses casual phraseology, occasionally referring to the “dead animal aftertaste” that accompanies meat eating, Allie can be eloquent. One of her earliest posts, about how to ensure that restaurant food is vegan, states, “most

Ditto a few fancy California restaurants. George’s at the Cove, an outstanding eatery in La Jolla, is among them. Also Croce’s in San Diego, owned by the wife of the late Jim Croce. But a place called The Trapper Grill in Wyoming seems to be the current leader in making “green” changes. They’ve completed 45 steps, not the least of which is incorporating wind power as an energy source. SuzAnnE PODhAIzER

he field-and-mountains logo has been designed. The recyclable plastic bottles have been ordered. The stainless-steel machines — some imported from China, others purchased secondhand from local food firms — stand ready in the new Hardwick factory. All that remains is for Todd Pinkham and Andrew Meyer to actually start producing and selling their company’s organic soy milk and tofu. Following a long and risk-rich prelude, the Northeast Kingdom entrepreneurs are about to discover whether there’s a profitable market for alternatives to the state’s signature dairy products.

Pinkham, 37, established Vermont Soy 11 years ago as a kitchen-sink tempeh-making venture. “One winter day,” Pinkham recalls, “my wife and I were looking through catalogues and saw an ad for tempeh culture. That seemed like an interesting possibility.” The inspiration for building a business on fermented soybean cakes came from Organic Cow of Vermont. Founded in 1990 and later absorbed by the Dean Foods conglomerate, the Tunbridge milk company proved there was money to be made in switching from conventional to organic dairy farming. It started a statewide trend. Pinkham, a Johnson State College graduate, had worked on a Johnson farm

that was one of Organic Cow’s early suppliers. “I saw from Organic Cow that it was possible to find a market for something a lot of people said wouldn’t be viable,” Pinkham explains. He and his wife, Meg Treadwell, started small, culturing five pounds of tempeh a week for sale at Hardwick’s Buffalo Mountain food co-op. This initial incarnation of Vermont Soy eventually grew to supply about 30 restaurants and food services around the state. Freshness and local sourcing were the selling points that enabled Pinkham’s product to compete with Lightlife Tempeh, a market leader based in Massachusetts. Pinkham and Meyer plan to play the same artisanal

angles as Vermont Soy tries to shoulder its way onto shelves now stocked with Silk brand soy milk, which is also owned by Dean Foods. “It will taste better than anything you’ve ever had,” declares Meyer, who compares mass-marketed soymilk to Kraft American cheese and his own product to the cheeses hand-crafted at Jasper Hill Farm, just up the road in Greensboro. The 36-year-old Hardwick dairy farmer served for seven years as agriculture policy expert to Senator James Jeffords. “Everything depends on your philosophy and the tools you use,” he adds. “Vermont Soy doesn’t need to be the biggest producer in the land; it just needs to be the best.” To that end, Meyer and

was a major step backwards for us,” Pinkham says. “We had a new baby, a half-built house in Morrisville and a company that had just hit a huge obstacle.” He now has three boys — ages 6, 3 and 7 months. Vermont Soy had also been defending itself against accusations that it was contributing to the demise of dairy farming. “We kept hearing complaints that soy milk was a threat to cow milk,” Pinkham says. Having worked on farms most of his life, the Massachusetts native viewed this hostility as both ironic and ill-informed. “Soy actually fits in nicely with Vermont agriculture,” Pinkham says. “A lot of farms could benefit from using soy beans in crop rotation, and a lot of farmers might make money from grow-

sustainable and local all the way from the farm to the store.” Meyer himself may eventually sell soy to the company he co-owns. He says he’s thinking of sowing soy this spring on a few acres of his family’s dairy farm. He focuses on the figures while Pinkham fiddles with the formulas. “The growth factor for all soy products is just enormous,” Meyer observes. “For one thing, a big segment of the American population is lactose-intolerant, so they’re buying something other than cow milk.” Indeed, soy-foods sales in the United States ballooned from $300 million in 1992 to nearly $4 billion in 2004, according to the Soyfoods Association of North America, a Washington, D.C.-based trade group.

TODD PINKHAM, VERMONT SOY Island-inspired dining & drinks

Pinkham have been getting valuable advice from a local tofu expert. The latter studied manufacturing and marketing techniques for two years with Chinese-born Mingruo Guo, a professor of nutrition and food science at the University of Vermont. The instruction was paid for by a U.S. Department of Agriculture grant designed to help Vermont farmers and food companies develop soy-based products. The ag education couldn’t have come at a better time. Pinkham knew there was a local demand for soymilk and tofu; by the late 1990s, many of Pinkham’s tempeh customers were asking for them. But getting the recipes right proved trickier than he had supposed. “Tempeh is a low-tech startup,” he notes. “It’s difficult to learn about making soymilk because not many people in this country have knowledge of it. It’s not like living in Japan, where you can basically pick your teacher.” Still, by 2001, Vermont Soy had progressed to a point where Pinkham was considering buying factory space from Green Mountain Coffee Roasters in Waterbury. Then came September 11, which left many a business plan in ruins. “That

ing soy beans.” In addition to serving as the raw material for tofu and tempeh, soy crops can serve as a fuel source, Pinkham notes. Although it’s closely identified with dairy farming, the Vermont Agency of Agriculture sees potential rather than peril in soy products. “They’ve been incredibly supportive of what we’re doing,” Pinkham says. And farmers themselves have also shown interest in soy crops. About 100 turned out last fall for a meeting in Hardwick on soybean cultivation, says Meyer. With demand burgeoning, there appears to be plenty of opportunity for soy cultivators. Only about half-a-dozen Vermont farmers currently grow soybeans for human consumption, Meyer estimates. Among them is Ken van Hazinga of Shoreham, Vermont Soy’s primary supplier. In keeping with its localvore orientation, the company buys all its soybeans from Vermont farmers, even though abundant quantities are available at competitive prices from growers in Québec and New York. It’s all part of what the company describes as the Whole Bean Way. “We’re all about completing the cycle,” Meyer explains. “Our mission is to be

Tofu and soymilk makers also pitch their cholesterol-free products to the swelling ranks of health-conscious foodies. Soy comestibles are also routinely fortified with vitamins — a practice Meyer and Pinkham plan to follow as part of their efforts to enhance Vermont Soy’s appeal to customers of food coops and health-food stores. Taste may be the only drawback. To many palettes, plain tofu and soymilk scores low on the yumminess scale. Hence the flavoring: Once the company gets rolling, Vermont Soy will begin offering organic chocolate and vanilla soymilk. With the first gallons of soymilk scheduled to pour forth from Vermont Soy’s 3000square-foot plant in the next two weeks, these are days of excitement and anxiety for the company’s principals. With his three sons to support, Pinkham knows “we can’t afford to make any mistakes.” But he expresses confidence that Vermont Soy is poised for success. Bon Appétit magazine also offers reason for optimism. It ranked artisanal tofu No. 6 among the Hot 10 Top Trends for 2007. The grooviest fare, according to the taste-making publication? Grits. >

BY CASEY REA

SUNDAY, SUNDAY SUNDAY!

What’s happening this Sunday besides the Academy Awards? Plenty. If you’re not too burned out from Saturday’s re-scheduled Magic Hat Mardi Gras hoo-hah, you might want to head to Higher Ground for a night of rock and/or spoken word. Don’t worry, Oscar won’t take it personally. In the Ballroom, there’s Jello Biafra, who was a last-minute no-show at the club back in June. Let’s hope he manages to make it this time around. If you’re not an old-school punk rocker, allow me to fill you in on Biafra’s background. He was once the mouthpiece for the legendary Dead Kennedys, a California-based act that raised hell during the Reagan years. DK combined surf-punk splatter with aggressively leftist politics in an incendiary mix that scared The Man shitless. The group had a rather acrimonious break-up, with lawsuits and allegations coming fast and furious. Since then, Biafra has worked the mike as a righteously pissed-off monologist. Biafra is still pretty radical, especially in today’s corporate climate. His pet issues include the legalization of all drugs, and a “maximum wage,� which would eliminate taxes for the underclass, while sticking it to anyone who earns a six-figure salary. Biafra is also fond of pulling municipal pranks, such as planting pot seeds in public areas. Something tells me that’d go over big in our own City Hall Park. It’s doubtful that Biafra’s positions will ever find traction in mainstream America, but that doesn’t stop him from shooting his mouth off every chance he gets. And no matter how you feel about his stance, you gotta admit he makes civics a lot less boring. Let’s hop over to the Showcase Lounge, shall we? That’s where ex-pop-punkers The Ataris, dreamy indie darlings Asobi Seksu and proggers Wax on Radio (not to be confused with TV on the Radio) will entertain. I called The Ataris ex-pop-punks, because, well, that’s what they are. When the band came together in the late ’90s, they trafficked in candy-coated, adrenaline-fueled rock that played like a junior-league NOFX. The group enjoyed some success with the formula, moving from indies Kung Fu and Fat Records to the majors in only a handful of years. Along the way, they scored a few hits, most notably with a kid-punk cover of Don Henley’s pop confessional “The Boys of Summer.� The Ataris have gone through a few line-up changes since then, and now have a darker, more mature sound. But it’s still pretty radio-friendly.

Asobi Seksu — whose name means “playful sex� in Japanese — are a female-fronted band that combines the swirling sounds of shoegaze with cutesy and eccentric rock. Vocalist Yuki sings with a coy lilt, while the rest of the band layers guitars like an indie-pop wedding cake. The band’s 2006 release, Citrus, made many music critics’ year-end lists; it didn’t score as highly with yours truly, but I still like it quite a bit. Wax on Radio are the odd band out, at least on this bill. Their sound is heavily reminiscent of today’s prog-influenced acts such as The Mars Volta and Muse. Kids seem to just eat that stuff up. Me, I’m sticking with Yes and King Crimson.

LAST SUNDAY, SUNDAY, SUNDAY! JELLO BIAFRA

I braved the frigid temperatures to catch Sonic Youth at Higher Ground last Sunday, as did a ton of

danced like a punk-rock ballerina to the band’s jagged anthems. Guitarist Lee Ranaldo connected the sonic dots, while drummer Steve Shelly held it down on the kit, nice and simple-like. There was an extra fella onstage, also with a bass guitar. And it wasn’t Jim O’Rourke, who held an auxiliary position in the band until 2005. I later found out that it was actually ex-Pavement fourstringer Mark Ibold, who has toured with SY since the release of Rather Ripped last year. I feel so out of the loop! It was nice to see that, after three decades together, the members still enjoy each other’s company. And let it be said that they can still make a hell of a racket. There are sure to be a few local music bloggers with their own reports of the show; check my site, http://7d.blogs.com/solidstate, for a roundup.

MONK JUNKIES This Saturday and Sunday, Parima hosts another one of its all-star jazz summits featuring a bevy of the area’s finest musicians. Called “Reflections of Monk,� the shows are — you guessed it — a tribute to the amazingly gifted and highly eccentric pianist, Thelonious Monk. Local talent paying tribute includes Matt Wright, Geza Carr, John Rivers, John McKenna, Bryan McNamara, Nicholas Cassarino, Joe Davidian and Dan Skea. Wright, who organized the shows, claims it’s the perfect time to celebrate the late bandleader/composer’s work. “It’s the 25th anniversary of Monk’s passing,� he says. “And this band is the best band I could have put together.� The performances will be captured on one or another recording device for a future CD, so be sure to applaud loudly. Saturday’s show takes place at 8 p.m.; Sunday’s is at 6. Admission to both is $5. Keep in mind that seating is limited; to make reservations, call 864-7917.

LONE GUN

ASOBI SEKSU other folks. Some of the people I talked to expressed thanks for this show, not just because it was the first time SY had ever been to Burlington, but also because it got them out of the house. Cabin fever is a bitch, I know. It was a fun show, and SY were pretty much exactly what I expected. They certainly live up to the “youth� part of their name: Guitarist/vocalist Thurston Moore was as chatty as an overly excitable teenager. He engaged in plenty of banter with the crowd, asking them what to do in town and teasing them about their answers. When not singing or plucking, bassist/vocalist Kim Gordon

WEDNESDAY 2/21

While the free world waits with bated breath for the release of Guns N’ Roses’ forever-in-the-making album Chinese Democracy, Guns keyboardist Dizzy Reed will return to Vermont with his classic rock covers act/party band Hookers N’ Blow. They’ll invade Club Metronome on Wednesday, February 21, with no opening act. ’Cause that’s just how they roll. In addition to Reed, the group includes dudes from hair-metal has-beens WASP, White Lion and Quiet Riot. Expect a healthy number of GNR tunes as well as dirtbag rock favorites from antiquity. That is, the ’70s and ’80s. Maybe you can tell Reed to kick Axl Rose’s ass in gear. It’d be nice to have the new Guns record sometime before Armageddon. Of course, it could very well suck. But at least I’d be able to get some sleep at night.

PROJECT COMPLETED :: Boston’s long running jam-pop/funk-fusion act Addison Groove Project

are calling it a day after 10 years in action. The quintet never fully recovered from the death of

bassist/founding member John Hall, who succumbed to cancer in 2004. Front man Brendan McGinn is currently enrolled in medical school, which no doubt influenced the band’s decision. They’ll go out on a strong note, with a brand-new studio album, Waiting Room, and a handful of farewell performances. Vermont has always been one of AGP’s favorite places to play, and they’re sure to give local fans a night to remember at their final Higher Ground performance this Saturday. Progressive jamsters U-melt open.

reviewthis DIRTMINERS, AMERICAN TYPEWRITER

BROTHER THROUGH GLASS, BROTHER THROUGH GLASS

(Animalville, CD)

(Self-released, CD)

Metal is a close cousin of progressive rock, whether or not its adherents choose to admit it. Both styles favor virtuosity and complex song structures — Top 40 be damned. Burlington metallers Brother Through Glass aren’t trying to hide their proggy leanings, however. Their self-titled debut contains 13 tunes full of inventive arrangements and intricately brutal hooks. Unlike many technical metal acts, BTG are unabashedly melodic. Vocalist Will Metivier is a versatile singer whose style is reminiscent of both Mike Patton and Brandon Boyd of Incubus. He can certainly growl with the best of them, but he employs his abrasiveness judiciously. The rest of the band is extremely solid; guitarist Scott Kirby serves up twisting riffs and airy solos while drummer Casey Kiernan provides a thunderous drum attack. Bassist Jeremy Gartner is a little low in the mix, but it’s clear he has no trouble handling such ambitious material. Opener “Stone of the Ages” is an old-school thrasher with chugging riffs and a relentless tempo. “Now this hope is a rope around my neck / This hope is a rope around me,” Metivier sings in the tune’s tumultuous chorus. Stun-gun guitars and menacing vocals herald the arrival of “Reality TV,” a scathing indictment of vacuous youth. “Don’t cut my credit card, mom / What would I do without it?” Metivier howls over churning guitars and dogged drumming. “Brother Through Glass” features a more streamlined framework than the other cuts on this disc. Unfortunately, it’s one of the band’s weaker efforts. BTG are at their best on the knottier numbers; the more twisted the arrangement, the more they shine. Still, it must be cool to have a tune with the same name as that of your band. Arthurian legend gets its due on “Mordred,” which contains lyrics that any Dungeon Master would approve of. “I draw my father’s sword (and plunge it through his heart to taste his blood) / I’ll find my vengeance here (here upon the stone from which it came),” Metivier bellows as his band gallops through an action epic’s worth of musical sequences. “Darklore Inc.” opens with a volley of precision snare before settling into some classic metal, while “Night” features a tribal groove in 6/8 time. The chorus splits the difference between soaring rock and grisly hardcore; it’d no doubt sound even more intense live. Album closer “Juniper” features yet another serpentine arrangement that shows off the band’s considerable chops. Metivier sounds particularly strong on this cut, as he switches between melodic crooning and bloodcurdling screams. Burlington has a thriving heavy music scene, but the funkier, jammier lot sometimes overshadows it. Brother Through Glass are proudly keeping it real for local metal fans; long may they shred. Catch them live on Thursday, February 22, at Club Metronome with Workingman’s Army and Shotgun Blues. CASEY REA

2/19/07 8:44:32 AM

Dirtminers’ architect and front man Raph Worrick calls his band’s American Typewriter “11-odd songs from a Vermontario carny.” The album is draped in modern, slightly askew Americana, and throughout, Worrick comes across as a mountain boy trying his best at delicate pop. Although plagued by an uncertainty of direction, the disc has a loose, country feel that nonetheless sounds pleasant. Things start strong with “Sweet Loneliness,” which features Indian scales played over rock changes and percolating percussion. By the time the vocals enter, it’s as if you’ve wandered into a Mark Knopfler album. This makes the subsequent track — the British-skiffle-sounding “Empty Boys and Girls” — sound that much more offbeat. “Previously Loved” could be a Roy Orbison B-side; a mandolin has rarely melded with surf-twang guitar so well. The upbeat takes a backseat with “Funeral,” however. The song features a chorus that asks, “Who goes to the funeral of the gravedigger’s mother?” — not exactly a romp in the sunshine. An admiration for Canadian roots-rockers Tragically Hip comes through loud and clear on “My Lovely Assistant,” while “Right Between the Eyes” stands out only for a brief guitar solo from Worrick. The crackling “Coffee All Morning” contains the most memorable hooks on the CD, with a chorus that champions “beer all afternoon.” But with this inspired ode to caffeine and alcohol as the album’s centerpiece, the rest of the tunes seem to drag a bit. Still, Matt Rogalsky’s crucial bass work keeps things lively, especially on the leisurely ballad “Flying Girl.” The song would sound perfect as a late-night obscurity played on a country music station; its screwball sincerity becomes even more endearing with repeated listens. The real carny trick comes on the title track, which happens to be the second-to-last tune on the album. It features the first real riff of the disc, all blazing rock fire. It had me scratching my head wondering where the band had been for the past 45 minutes. The Dirtminers have some great ideas and solid musicians, but the band has yet to embrace its full potential. Maybe next time. ADAM KING

flight school When Rachael Miller began teaching snowkiting in Vermont, not many locals had heard of the sport, but skiers and snowboarders caught on quickly. Participants don their rigs, then hoist poofy, parachute-like kites to harness gusts and ride like the wind. Flat surfaces work well, so Lake Champlain’s strong winds and big, frozen bays draw out-of-staters eager for an open run. Hundreds of alpine, ’board and telemark-toting enthusiasts converge on the ice for the fourth annual Kitestorm Festival, where newbies and old hands try out kite gear, win prizes, watch demos, and swap stories of rippin’ rides. Warm boots and thin thermal gloves help — kite strings sometimes need untangling — and helmets are a must. Once you’re set, get ready to be swept off your feet. ‘Kitestorm’ Snowkiting Festival

scene@ ADAPTIVE SKI CLINIC CATAMOUNT FAMILY OUTDOOR CENTER, WILLISTON, FEBRUARY 17

photo: Matthew thorsen

“There’s no such thing as a disabled person, just disabled technology,� Patrick Standen told me last Saturday morning from the helm of his adaptive crosscountry skis. We were schmoozing in the parking lot at the Catamount Family Outdoor Center, waiting for his skiers to show. Then, one by one, they began to trickle in — from as far away as Maine. Each cheery participant, it seemed, had a different degree of mobility in his or her legs. But the skis themselves are tailored to accommodate people of all shapes, sizes and centers of gravity. “Those adaptive skis must contribute a lot of extra weight,� I commented. “Actually, no. They’re lighter than you’d think,� said Standen, adjusting a pole. As the only adaptive skier (to his knowledge) in Vermont, the guy has the kind of chiseled upper body that makes me embarrassed to work out. His wife Beth, standing behind him, chimed in: “Once he gets going, I need skate skis to catch up!� And sure enough, by the end of the clinic, Standen had gotten half a dozen first-time adaptive skiers cruising along as if it weren’t no thang. Afterwards, I chatted with Andrea Kerr, a smiling twentysomething from Essex Junction who’d been injured in a motorcycle accident two years ago. “Just think of how many disabled people you don’t see out here,� she mused. “If clinics like this one happened more frequently, it might bring them out.� In fact, the gathering was the first ever of its kind in the state. And it’s about time, suggested Standen, a longtime disability rights activist, presidentfounder of the Northeast Disabled Athletic Association and philosophy prof at St. Michael’s College. “A lot of kids with disabilities are left completely out of recreational options,� he said. “We’re trying to remedy that.� MIKE IVES

ITEM OF FAITH Syracuse University grad Dave Dwyer got a leg up on an entertainment-industry career with a job filing videos at MTV. By age 25, he was directing a talk show for the newly launched Comedy Central channel. But Dwyer’s role as a media tastemaker left him unsatisfied, and the pop-culture connoisseur ditched TV in the early 1990s to enter the Paulist priesthood. Father Dwyer (pictured) now publishes BustedHalo.com, a daily web magazine for young adult spiritual seekers who see no contradiction in heeding both Adam Sandler and the gospel. He also hosts a nightly call-in show on Sirius Satellite radio to answer listeners’ questions about faith and the Church. Father Dwyer ponders how God goes with iPods at three outreach talks about communicating Catholic spirituality in contemporary culture. Father Dave Dwyer

BACH ATTACK Comedic composer and radio host Peter Schickele has been penning classical slapstick for decades, with help from his “close acquaintance� and alter-ego Professor Schickele. In a parodic send-up of musicologists, the prof claims to have “discovered� the works of one P.D.Q. Bach (1872-1742), a longlost son of Johann Sebastian whose tunes have garnered Schickele four real Grammys. The Dartmouth Symphony Orchestra performs selections from the prolific — indeed, “pretty damn quick� — maestro’s oeuvre, including his Schleptet in E Flat Major, Art of the Ground Round for Three Baritones, and the Unbegun Symphony. The college’s Chamber Singers advise listeners “to curry favor, favor curry� in The Seasonings, P.D.Q.’s spicy oratorio for vocalists, strings, winds, brass, tympani, kazoos and boat horn. Musical in-jokes are, of course, instrumental. P.D.Q. Bach concert

WWe are recruiting women who are:

• Interested in becoming pregnant who have never been pregnant • Healthy and 18-40 years of age • Have regular menstrual cycles • Are not using hormonal contraception • And do not smoke

LIGHTER THAN AIR Imagine what your favorite childhood fairy tale might sound like set to a combo of freak folk and naturehappy indie rock. The Boy Who Floated Freely is just such a dreamy specimen, an original song cycle about a boy named Giver who washes ashore on a Gypsy island, explains himself, drinks a doctored potion, falls in love, and eventually wafts away on the wind. All of the characters are voiced by Ramona Córdova, a.k.a. Ramón Vicente Alarcón, a 23-year-old touring troubadour who named the project after his musically inspiring grandmother. Ramón couches falsetto truths in ethereal tunes ornamented with guitar chords, lilting Spanish lyrics and sampled bird chirpings. Local alt-folkster Anna Pardenik paves the way, and playful paper airplanes may follow.

A HEART OUTSIDE Seeker of outside experiences in search of same to hike, ski, sail and kayak. Heart is open to meet the one to share it with. Dogs, cats, kids and drinks are all fine in the right package. Appearance? Form follows function. Is it a look, a sound, a smell, a touch, a color, a curve, a spirit? Things must fit. love2live, 46, l, #103722

SMART, YET MANLY I’m health-conscious but over-caffeinated. Liberal, not soft. Intellectual, not an egghead. I’m a classical musician, trial lawyer, and father of a six-year-old boy.

Honesty, communication, trust and friendship are things I value. redspruce, 34, #103410

MEN seeking MEN

SHY, KIND HUMOURIST What can I say to keep your attention? One of the greatest pleasures in my life is making someone laugh and making them forget their troubles. I curse occasionally, I sing sporadically, I twirl randomly while walking down the street. I’m looking for a woman who is open, witty, accepting, and genuinely kind. Annabell, 20, l, #103668 UP FOR SOME PILLOW TALK? Fun, fit, leggy BiMF with bedroom eyes seeking the right woman for actual conversation, romance and delicious sex. I’m tall, passionate, and know how to laugh at life. And I’m looking for a woman 30-55 YO who I can talk to in and out of bed. Hubby has his own lover, so you’d be just for me. Where can we begin? artichokes, 45, l, #103356 IT’S IN MY EYES Looking for casual female relationship. Someone I can hang out with, talk with, kiss, hold and more. Not looking for long term monogamous relationship or one night stand. I want someone to share something special with. I am an English major. I have learned what I want out of life. I am sincere, fun, passionate, and very cute. J, 21, #102789 NEED SOME MOUTH-TO-MOUTH? I like really fem women and would prefer to hang out with a blond hair, blue eyed lover who can hold a conversation. Sex would be great but it’s more about having someone to grab wings with at Hooters, a beer at a barbeque or pick up a game of racquetball. If this is you let’s play. firefighter4u, 36, l, #102593 SOFT BUTCH SEEKS COMPANIONSHIP/ FRIENDSHIP I’m one who loves dining, literature, intelligent conversation, romantic strolls by moonlight and off beat sense of humor. My friends say I’m a good listener and incurable romantic with a quirky sense of humor. I am an adventurous and fun-loving power wheelchair user who doesn’t let cerebral palsy get in my way. Looking for women who are open-minded, fun and flexible. mo42, 42, l, #102555

MEN seeking WoMEN SEE JANE RUN...... Down to earth, honest and in touch....most of the time.

Dear Mistress Maeve, I like this guy, but he doesn’t seem to see the chemistry we have together. I met him at a party about a year ago, and it turned into a two-week sex fest. We’d get together nearly every other day and have really good sex. I’m much more experienced than he is, and he told me that I was the best he’d ever had. I was really starting to like him, but then he just stopped calling. A few weeks later, we chatted online and he told me he had met someone else. I was crushed but didn’t let him know he had hurt me. A few months later, I ran into him, and he was single. So we started sleeping together again, and I thought he had finally come to his senses about how awesome I am. I was wrong. He stopped calling again, and before I knew it, he was dating another girl. He has told me that I am really different from the women he usually dates and that I’m far better in bed. So, what’s the deal? If he prefers being with me, why am I only his fuck buddy? Help! A.R. Dear A.R. I see a couple of issues at play here — one is about him and one is about you. This guy wants to have unbridled sex with you — an experienced, sexy woman — but when it comes to choosing a mate, he wants a virgin. He could be harboring some serious guilt or simply be intimidated by your sexual prowess and your assertive demeanor. Either way, he clearly doesn’t appreciate what you have to offer. As for your role in this, you have to learn the difference between sex and intimacy. If you want to have casual sex, go ahead (safely, of course), but don’t mistake the false intimacy of a quick romp in the sack for the genuine spark of love. Figure out what you want. Do

Tulip Don’t my big brown eyes just make you melt? Hi! I’m Tulip. I am a sweet 7 year old spayed female Plotthound mix. I am a middle-aged girl who has lots of spunk. I prefer to be the only dog in the home, but I like to play with other dogs outside. I like activity (and I do need to lose a few pounds), but am quite mellow once I'm settled in the house. I am friendly and enjoy spending time with my human friends. My back end and especially my tail seem very sensitive so I need to be in a cat free home with adults only or with older kids who will respect this. Although I am older, I haven’t had lots of training except for what I get to work on while at HSCC. So my primary guardian needs to have significant dog experience and be committed to working with me on positivereinforcement training. This is ESSENTIAL to my success, and besides I would enjoy going to a class where I can play with other dogs! I really want to please and will look adoringly into your eyes to show how much love I have to give. Visit me at HSCC, 142 Kindness Court, South Burlington, Tuesday through Friday, from 1 to 6 pm, or Saturday from 10 am to 4 pm. 862-0135.
