weeklypost The best of the Vermont blogosphere COMPILED BY CATHY RESMER

Blog: Librarian.net

MOUNTAINS MISSION With all due respect to Brian Cote and those who have made comments to this effect [“Letters,” December 13], I am baffled by the assertion that the current level of LGBTQ visibility in mainstream print media rendered Out in the Mountains (OITM) obsolete. Where is the mainstream coverage targeting LGBTQ readers? This dyke would love to read it. A search of past weeks’ news, as reported in the Free Press, for the terms LGBTQ, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, dyke and queer returned three articles. Actually only two — “Dyke” turned up as a proper name. In the remaining two articles, at most a sentence focused on LGBTQ anything. This is no surprise. By virtue of an LGBTQ-oriented mission OITM was able to chronicle the depth and breadth of LGBTQ experiences in a way media with a broader mission cannot. It seems mainstream news only covers “LGBTQ news” when it is perceived to affect, usually to threaten, heterosexual norms. While even this dubious recognition of our existence was hard won, visibility in the mainstream media amounts to little more than recycling the same stories, each time with new players. Scant coverage of Rosie O’Donnell, the struggle for marriage rights or the Ted Haggard of the moment no more obviates OITM than coverage of

2006 READING LIST, A YEAR END SUMMARY I liked doing this last year. I think I’ll do it again this year. Slow year for reading for me. I was busy, busier maybe than I’ve been lately. number of books read in 2006: 60 number of books read in 2005: 86 number of books read in 2004: 103 number of books read in 2003: 75 number of books read in 2002: 91 number of books read in 2001: 78 average read per month: 5 average read per week: 1.25 number read in worst month: 0 (December) number read in best month: 8 (November, August) percentage by male authors: 59 percentage by female authors: 41 fiction as percentage of total: 60 non-fiction as percentage of total: 40 percentage of total liked: 77 percentage of total ambivalent: 23 percentage of total disliked: 0 I made a little spreadsheet of all the books. There was only one that I couldn’t remember off the top of my head. There were two that followed me through the entire year: Let Us Now Praise Famous Men and And Their Children After Them, both terribly haunting depictions of the short and long-term effects of rural poverty. I think of them every day when I’m at work, trying to help. Looking for something to read?

MEDICAL MISSION Thank you for running the article of the National Guardsman who is trying to provide medical help to Iraqi children [“Vermont National Guardsman Launches MedicalRelief Fund for Iraqi Kids,” December 6]. I am convinced that humanitarian aide is what is needed all around the world. If the United States government could only see that military methods are not the way to positively influence people’s hearts and minds, the world would be a lot more peaceful. Men like this soldier make me proud. Bravo to him for using his heart and mind, and access, for compassionate action. Diana Bailey FAIRFIELD

that the individuals who are not eligible for this court system need monitoring and that the City of Burlington lacks concern for these individuals. We challenge the idea that the City of Burlington has neglected to provide support for those individuals with major mental illness who have been discharged from the State Hospital. There is a network of social service agencies and organizations that work together closely to balance the rights of these individuals with the safety and security of the Burlington Community . . . This group has . . . committed significant funding and other resources to ensure the reduction of antisocial behaviors in the Burlington area . . . As The Street Outreach Team, we are well aware of our role in this network to provide a safe downtown so that everyone feels free to “float around town” without undue concern for their safety. It is our observation that while there are a few individuals who are routinely in and out of the state hospital, the professional and competent psychiatry staff at the hospital would not discharge anyone whom they believe poses a threat to the health and well being of any individual or the community at large. The leadership of our funding and provider agencies has created a proactive approach by supporting services that are organized, professional, accessible and fully

Vermont in USA Today makes the Free Press superfluous. Hopefully the future does hold more comprehensive coverage of LGBTQ-related news by the mainstream media, but the disappearance of OITM does not indicate that this is so. Elizabeth Cukor

committed to the safety of all the members of our community. Matt Young BURLINGTON

Young is a street outreach team leader for Howard Center for Human Services. HARE HORROR I was disgusted by the article about the rabbit farm [â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rabbit Run,â&#x20AC;? December 13]. Thank you, Seven Days, for reminding me that some people treat animals like machines. I already know that factory farms

exist, but sometimes I need a little reminder. The first thing that I noticed was a picture of beautiful white rabbits packed in a cage like sardines. Sardines are dead; these rabbits in the picture are alive. They are living, thriving and feeling inhabitants of this Earth. The article stated, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Each rabbit has enough space to lie down and move around a bit, but not enough room to do much more.â&#x20AC;? Mr. Anctil, the owner of the farm said that they have it better than we do, and he said

something about wishing somebody would put food and water in front of him 24 hours a day. Mr. Anctil, I can tell by your statement that you are defensive about your horrid treatment of animals. It is obvious to me that you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really think those rabbits have it good, or else you wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have made the statement that you did. However, if you really did mean what you said, I would suggest that you lock yourself in a tiny hutch for a day to experience what it feels like to be a prisoner. What

is there to lose if you really think that they have it better than us? You clearly know nothing about the sacred nature of animals, nor do you appear to care enough to try and figure it out. Hannah Cornelius BURLINGTON

SANCTUARY NOW Thanks to Ken Picard for shedding belated light on the â&#x20AC;&#x153;disappearancesâ&#x20AC;? of undocumented workers in Vermont [â&#x20AC;&#x153;Activists Urge City to Become a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Sanctuary,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? December 20]. The unceremonious arrests and detentions of immigrants in our state have long evaded our public consciousness and the media. In the cases of farm workers who were deported after reporting vandalism, accidentally dialing 911, or trying to mediate a domestic dispute, it is clear that access to our institutions of public safety has become private property. As these examples illustrate, victims and witnesses of crime are no longer entitled to seek assistance from the police if they fear the consequence of deportation. For those who believe the change in political climate with the November election has reduced the pressure and scrutiny on immigrants in this country, as Mayor Kiss suggests, nothing could be farther from the truth. The militarization of the U.S./Mexico border continues unabated and the recent sweeps of ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) detained

NO MORE HANDOUTS Making Burlington a â&#x20AC;&#x153;sanctuaryâ&#x20AC;? city [â&#x20AC;&#x153;Activists Urge City to Become a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Sanctuary,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? December 20] is a waste of time and energy. I wish people could wake up and see the real problem. People donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like illegal immigrants for one reason and one reason only â&#x20AC;&#x201D; government welfare. Government is providing welfare benefits to illegal immigrants, and that is why people get angry. Our country has a welfare problem, not an immigration problem. Government points its guns at its citizens to take money from them so that it may redistribute it to others. This socialist concept is immoral and needs to be stopped. Our efforts should be focused on replacing government welfare with voluntarily funded private charities. Once government welfare is gone, opening our borders to everyone will be possible. Every town across the nation will be a â&#x20AC;&#x153;sanctuaryâ&#x20AC;? for immigrants. David Noel BURLINGTON

BY PETER FREYNE

AN IRREVERENT READ ON VT POLITICS

“I like working with the people at Pauline’s, especially my Dad, the chef.” — Andreas Landolt-Hoene and chef David Hoene

A Dream Come True?

“

es, it is,” said the brand-new Independent U.S. senator from the Green Mountains. “It feels absolutely great!” said Bernie Sanders of Burlington, Vermont, the Senate’s first “socialist,” in a phone interview late Monday afternoon from his new office on Capitol Hill. Is this really happening? Both of us remembered for a moment the time 26 years ago when we first met on a College Street sidewalk — January 1981. The upstart, loudmouth, semidisheveled radical with the Brooklyn accent was on his way to an interview with The Burlington Free Press editorial board. He was running in a three-way race for mayor, the apparent outsider. Needless to say, he did not get the Freeps’ endorsement. And it appeared to this newcomer to Vermont journalism that Sanders was running an impossible longshot race against an established, entrenched Democrat named Gordie Paquette. What did we know, eh? Ol’ Bernardo won by 10 votes that March, and the rest is history. Who could have imagined then that the screaming champion of “poor people, working people and the elderly” would one day preside over the U.S. Senate, as the former Burlington mayor (1981-89) did for a couple hours on Tuesday. Saw him on CSPAN! “We’re settling in,” said Sanders. “We’re putting together a dynamite staff, and we’re beginning to put together a very strong progressive agenda, which for the people of Vermont will be a very familiar agenda, but for down here, it is not quite so familiar.” After 16 years in the U.S. House of Representatives, which has 435 members, Sanders is in a very different environment in the 100-member Senate. “Everybody here on Capitol Hill knows who a senator is,” said Ol’ Bernardo. “We get calls from staff on committees that we’re not even on, wanting to know our opinion.” Also, said Sanders, the Senate has its own key phrase, one you don’t hear in the House, that defines the accepted style of doing business: “No surprises.” “Whatever your point of view may be,” said Sanders, “they want to know where you’re coming from. Can they accommodate your needs? It’s a very strange process, but that’s what the word is,” he said with a chuckle. Ol’ Bernardo told us his staff has already met with reps from committees he doesn’t sit on — one was the Finance Committee — “wanting to know our views on trade and a bunch of other issues.” An issue the Vermont freshman will be heavily involved in is global warming. His seat on the Environment and Energy Committee guarantees it. “This ‘winter’ has shaken a lot of people in terms of what the real impact of global warming can be,” said Sanders. “I will be reintroducing Jim Jeffords’ global-warming bill, which is in fact the strongest piece of legislation addressing the need to break our dependence on fossil fuels and cut carbon dioxide emissions. I am very nervous

We could tell from his voice — a voice we’ve listened to closely for more than a quarter-century — that Bernie Sanders is a very happy camper. “I am,” he agreed. “It’s such an awesome responsibility.

Q & A for your future starts here.

Come to a FREE workshop at the VSAC Resource Center.

Dems Get New Look — House Speaker Gaye Symington, a woman who may well be more than speaker one day, has successfully got a protégée installed as the new executive director of the Vermont Democratic Party. Jill Krowinsky, 27, ran the House campaign for non-gay Gaye the last time around. Then she was state field director for the party. Ms. Krowinsky, of North Tonawanda, New York, is a 2002 grad of the University of Pittsburgh. Straight out of Pitt, she hooked up with an outfit called 21st Century Democrats in Washington, D.C. She describes the group as progressive with a small “p.” After picking up a little grassroots organizing training there, Krowinsky picked Vermont as her top choice for placement. She had never been here before. She told “Inside Track” she really liked the politics of the state.

Free workshops at the Vermont Student Assistance Corporation (VSAC) Resource Center can help you get ready for the education or career of a lifetime. We are sure you have lots of questions, and you can be sure we’ll have lots of answers. Enrollment is limited; register early by calling 800-642-3177 or e-mailing info@vsac.org.

were in the single digits. Nothing like being in a snowy border state at Christmas, eh? Even if it had to be the Mexican border! This out-of-state jaunt was our first in — would you believe — 15 years? Now we’re reminded of why we don’t ever leave. The contrast between “out there” and smallscale, human-scale, look-you-inthe-eye Vermont remains all too obvious. That was reinforced at the Statehouse the other day by two genuine Vermont good ol’ boys. Sen. Robert Starr (D-EssexOrleans) owns a trucking company. Sen. Phil Scott (R-Washington) owns a construction company. He also races cars real well on the finest dirt ovals in the Green Mountains. If you, dear reader, are sick and tired of all the damn email that floods into your 21st-century electronic world, these guys are your kind of state senators. “It’s a drain on time to respond,” said Sen. Scott, 48, the chairman of the Institutions Committee, “and they do expect an instant response.” Some emailers even request a prompt response from either “you or your staff,” said Phil Scott. “We don’t have staff,” he noted. Welcome to Vermont. “If you want to get a hold of me,” said Sen. Starr, 64, “call me, write me, just don’t try to email me!” Ol’ Bobby’s been making the winter pilgrimage to Montpeculiar since 1979. He served 13 terms in the House, where he chaired the Agriculture Committee. He moved over to the smaller “upper” body two years ago. “I’m busy. I don’t spend time reading junk mail,” said Bobby, a political institution from the Northeast Kingdom. “I like hard copies of letters, phone calls, and I always return that stuff,” said Sen. Starr. What’s wrong with these guys? How about nothing?

1/8/07 1:39:52 PM

Can’t blame her for that, can you? “I knew that Vermont had passed the civil-unions bill,” said the Vermont Democratic Party’s new state director, “and had a longstanding tradition of being independent thinkers, taking the plunge, and doing what a lot of people felt was right despite what the political implications would be. And I had a tremendous amount of respect for that,” she told us. “And there are no billboards. I love that!” Get ready for some changes at Democratic HQ. Krowinsky said she is “going to take a little time to revamp the staff structure.” She wants to build on what went well during the recent coordinated campaign, and incorporate what Lite-Gov candidate Matt Dunne did with his “service politics.” She’s also been given the green light to create the new full-time staff position of party fundraising director. In the past, Krowinsky said, “We’ve had consultants here and there to come in and help out.” But it’s never been a 24/7 post. “We need someone to devote time to specifically cultivating our donor base,” said the new party exec. More Than Money — That, we suggest, is what it’s going to take if Vermont Democrats truly expect to regain the governor’s office. Republican Jim Douglas has won three in a row and shows no sign of letting up. How does he do it? Last Thursday yours truly got home from the Western swing just in time to catch the 11 o’clock news coverage of Gov. Scissorhands’ inaugural address. At a Montpelier presser a month earlier, the guv had played down the urgency and importance of reducing global warming, when compared to the urgency of reducing the rise in property taxes to pay for our public schools. Terri Hallenbeck from the Freeps asked, “Peter Shumlin wants to make [global warming] a priority for the session; where do you see it going with Vermont fighting global warming?” “To be perfectly honest,” replied Douglas, “as I campaigned around Vermont, I think we all heard a lot more about property taxes than global warming.” The GOP Guv emphasized “what a small percentage of the surface of the world Vermont represents and how low our emissions are. We don’t have much in the way of greenhouse gas emissions.” Yours truly pressed him on it, noting some scary weather changes and impacts on Vermont traditions such as maple sugaring. But Jim Douglas showed no fear. “I’m trying to put it into perspective,” said Vermont’s top dog. “More power plants are being built in China and India, emitting more greenhouse gasses than the United States is reduc-

UVM Scientists Identify Eco-Friendly Tool for Fighting Wheat Blight BY KEN PICARD

BURLINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; At a time when U.S. military forces are struggling against growing insurgencies in Iraq and Afghanistan, two researchers from the University of Vermont are making major strides against a different kind of threat in those war-torn countries: a destructive wheat blight found in many parts of the Middle East, Asia and central Europe. The research promises to dramatically improve food-crop harvests, and it could go a long way toward rebuilding trust among people otherwise wary of American intentions in the region.

Sunn pest has reduced barley harvests in some areas by as much as 30 percent; wheat harvests have been wiped out entirely. Parker calls the insect the biggest obstacle to wheat production in the Middle East. The Sunn pest is particularly insidious for farmers, Parker explains. As the insect feeds on the wheat spike, it injects the grain with a chemical that destroys the gluten. As a result, livestock wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t eat it; bread made from the grain doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t rise properly, burns easily and has an unpleasant taste. Moreover,

BREAD MADE FROM INFECTED WHEAT

UVM entomologists Bruce Parker and Margaret Skinner, working in conjunction with a scientist in Syria, have isolated an insect-killing fungus that can be used to fend off the Sunn pest, an insect that for centuries has been decimating wheat and barley crops in Turkey, Syria, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan and the former Soviet republics. The

seeds from an infected crop wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t germinate the following year. Minimal Sunn pest contamination â&#x20AC;&#x201D; just 3 percent â&#x20AC;&#x201D; spoils an entire crop. The Middle Eastern partner of Parker and Skinner is Mustapha El Bouhssini, a researcher with Syriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s International Center for Agricultural Research in Dry Areas. As a trio, the scientists

have been helping farmers throughout the Middle East reduce or eliminate their need for dangerous, costly and ecologically destructive chemical pesticides. In the past, many Middle Eastern governments not only purchased the chemicals for farmers but also decided how and where they should be applied. Often, this approach resulted in the indiscriminate aerial spraying of chemicals that pose serious risks to human health, kill beneficial species and increase resistance among the targeted insects. As a result of the scientistsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; lobbying, the insect-killing fungus is now being used as part of broader, integrated pest-management programs, which are more economical and less harmful to people, property and the environment. In some countries, such as Turkey, the government is now allowing farmers to decide when and how to use these eco-friendly techniques. At least 3 million hectares â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or 300 million acres â&#x20AC;&#x201D; of farmland have already been affected by these policy changes. Parker and Skinnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s research earned them the Innovative Marketplace Award at last monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual meeting of the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research in Washington, D.C. The award included a $30,000 prize to further their research â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a small but important financial incentive, considering that this research competes on the global stage with the interests of the multibillion-dollar chemical pesticide industry. The war in Iraq has made travel to that country impossible, and the conflict in Afghanistan has left some regions of that country inaccessible. Skinner also notes that the U.S. government wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t allow them to bring their own computers to Syria when they conduct research there. Both UVM scientists insist, however, that the current geopolitical situation has not dramatically hampered their research work. They do point out, though, that many of the farmers who are now benefiting from this research, which is still in an experimental phase, live in areas where positive attitudes about Americans are in short supply. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The science that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing is incredibly important,â&#x20AC;? says Skinner. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But sometimes I think that even more so, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s those bridges weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re building, so they know there are people in this country who care about them as people. In that regard, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heartening to me.â&#x20AC;? The Sunn pest is not yet a problem in the United States, but it is on the U.S. Department of Agricultureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s watch list, which means that American farmers may one day also benefit from Parker and Skinnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is no reason why it could not become at some point a significant pest of wheat in this country,â&#x20AC;? says Parker. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The climates where wheat is grown here are not that different from the climates that we find in the range of this insect.â&#x20AC;? ďż˝

VERMONT — Blood Diamond is a “great movie and a good story,” says Susan Grannis, co-owner of a Burlington jewelry store. “The story is over, though.” The gruesome civil war in Sierra Leone depicted in Edward Zwick’s big box-office film ended five years ago, Grannis points out. Rebels in the West African nation no longer smuggle diamonds to finance a terror campaign that involved abductions and amputations. And an international movement has largely squelched the illicit diamond trade that helped bankroll bloodshed in other diamond-producing African nations, namely Angola, Congo and Liberia. Today, 99.8 percent of the diamonds entering the global market are reliably certified as “conflictfree,” says Carson Glover, a spokesman for the New Yorkbased World Diamond Council. This trade association helps track the origin and processing of diamonds as part of the Kimberly Process, a multinational monitoring system put into place four years ago in response to outrage over atrocities of the sort graphically portrayed in Blood Diamond. Retailers in Vermont appear well apprised of the Kimberly Process. The owners of five jewelry stores surveyed in Burlington and Middlebury all say they buy solely from diamond suppliers who comply with a tracking sys-

tem that now includes 71 countries with their own laws against trade in blood diamonds. This commitment on the part of Vermont gem dealers contrasts with the findings of a 2004 survey conducted by Amnesty International. Only about one-quarter of 246 jewelry stores visited in 50 U.S. cities presented Amnesty activists with proof of a policy designed to prevent sale of blood diamonds.

love,” adds Kevin Carpenter, owner of Middlebury Jewelry and Gift Works, “I am vehemently opposed to anything that supports the type of illegal or immoral activity shown in that movie.” Because the U.S. diamond trade is largely family-controlled, wholesale transactions involve a high degree of personal trust that can be violated only once, Wood says. “All I have to do is pick up

If the African diamond trade slows because Americans aren’t buying diamonds because of the movie, some Africans are going to go hungry. BURLINGTON JEWELER SUSAN GRANNIS

“In Vermont, we tend to be more socially oriented than is the case nationwide on this issue,” says Kent Wood, owner of Fremeau Jewelers in Burlington. The Grannis Gallery, for example, has posted signs since 1999 declaring its diamonds conflictfree, Susan Grannis notes. All the Vermont retailers praise the diamond industry for taking what Wood describes as “proactive steps” to ensure that its merchandise is not tainted by blood from hacked-off hands. “As someone involved in a business that’s all about expressions of

the phone and have incredible amounts of money sent simply on the basis of my word,” adds the owner of the Church Street business established in 1840. But the Kimberly Process does not ensure that only diamonds from reputable sources are reaching the commercial market, Amnesty International warns. Along with the London-based group Global Witness, Amnesty cites weaknesses in the oversight system stemming from reliance on volunteer monitors. The Kimberly >> 17A

PLACE BRANDING

Local Businesses Seek to Sum Up the Queen City

Winter Clearance

SALE

BY KEN PICARD

BURLINGTON — The greater Burlington area may one day be known by the slogan, “Vermont’s Gold Coast,” “Green and Clean Living” or “Gateway to the Good Life.” In the next few weeks, a coalition of local business groups will unveil its new Burlington-area “brand,” part of an ongoing effort to help area businesses, colleges, nonprofits and other institutions market themselves and the region under a consistent banner. The Burlington Region Branding Project is privately funded by the Lake Champlain Regional Chamber of Commerce and the Burlington Business Association. The campaign’s goal, according to Chamber Vice President Tim Shea, is to help the area maintain its competitive edge and attract more tourism, new businesses and other investments.

Although there’s a lot of good marketing information available on the greater Burlington region, it’s not very focused or consistent. “Place branding,” as marketing experts call it, is designed to create a sense of place and spread a positive public image about a region. The most famous place-branding effort was probably the one launched in the 1970s by the Empire State. The “I Love New York” campaign, which was so effective that it’s still in use today, was meant to boost tourism during the recession. Other cities, such as Pittsburgh, have used place branding to improve a neutral or negative public perception. Burlington isn’t facing a recession, and it doesn’t need a major makeover or a new identity. “We’re not trying to create a brand,” Shea explains. “We’re trying to identify a brand.” The process began in the fall of 2005, when the Chamber and the BBA conducted a survey of their members to review how they market themselves. They found that although there’s a lot of good marketing information available on the greater Burlington region, it’s not very focused or consistent, and it lacks a common theme, explains BBA Executive Director Nancy Wood. Although Burlington typically ranks high on annual quality-of-life surveys, its fuzzy brand image

may be costing jobs and money. Charlotte, North Carolina, also ranks as one of the nation’s most livable cities. But after spearheading its “Charlotte USA” campaign, the city experienced a 30 percent increase in businesses relocating or expanding there, a 64 percent increase in jobs and a 77 percent increase in regional investment, according to research by Gail Shampnois at the University of Vermont. Last spring, the BBA convened two marketing summits, attended by about 100 people, to launch a new branding initiative. A contract for the project was awarded to Bill Wilkie of Charism Advisors. Wilkie is a design and brand specialist who directed brand and design strategy for Burlington’s Jager DiPaola Kemp Design before launching his own company. He’s worked with such local clients as Seventh Generation and ECHO at the Leahy Center for Lake Champlain, as well as national companies including Amazon, Bank of America, General Motors, Microsoft and Levi Strauss and Company. In the last several months, Wilkie has conducted a series of focus groups and one-on-one interviews in Burlington, Boston and Montréal to find out how people identify this region. The results of those surveys, which will be made public in the next few weeks, should include proposals for a copyrighted logo and slogan, Shea says. Eventually, that “brand platform” will be available for use at no cost to members of the Chamber, the BBA or the city itself. The choice of Wilkie ruffled a few feathers, as his firm is based in Boston. “It doesn’t seem right,” complains Chamber member Ted Kohn of the Moondyne Agency, a small, Burlington–based marketing and design firm that tried — and failed — to get the contract. “Here’s an organization whose sole purpose is to support local commerce and they’re sending the branding of our identity out of state. It’s kind of ridiculous.” Wood points out, however, that Wilkie lived and worked in the Burlington area for many years and was still in the area when his company was awarded the contract. She notes that Wilkie relocated to Boston because his wife is now attending school there. For his part, Shea won’t reveal much about how the new Burlington brand will look and sound, except to say that it will encompass many of the positive attributes that make this area a desirable place to live and work. Nor will the privately funded campaign — at a cost of about $35,000 — be a radical departure from the way the city is currently marketed, he says. “It’s not as though it’s going to be a Disneyworld with our logos plastered all over town.” �

15A << DIAMOND TRADE

Process, named for the South African diamond center where it was formulated, does not have the status of an international treaty and lacks adequate funding, the activists complain. Global Witness maintains that as many as 20 percent of diamonds sold on world markets are smuggled or mined and processed under abusive labor conditions. And blood diamonds — those that directly finance civil war — continue to be extracted in the Ivory Coast. The United Nations estimates that combatants in that West African country are making up to $23 million a year by smuggling diamonds into neighboring Ghana or Mali, where they are falsely certified as conflict-free, the Kimberly Process notwithstanding. Glover of the World Diamond Council says the industry will not be satisfied until 100 percent of the global trade has bloodless origins. And he concedes that the Kimberly Process does not have the power to stem all diamond smuggling. “It’s not

a police force,” he notes. In hopes of avoiding any association with atrocities, some Vermont retailers strive to steer clear of diamonds known to originate in Africa. Tick Tock Jewelers owner Beth Garbo displays a letter from her store’s main supplier of diamonds attesting to their conflict-free status. The diamonds for sale in her 60-year-old Burlington store come mainly from Canada and from American suppliers of antique gems, Garbo says. Shoppers who are still concerned about blood diamonds can allay their misgivings by purchasing other types of precious stones, she suggests. But there’s not much evidence of such worries. “Very few customers ask me about conflict diamonds,” Garbo says, echoing the observations of other Vermont diamond dealers. Retailers will never have complete certainty about where diamonds actually originate, adds John Wallace, owner of Autumn Gold in Middlebury. Unlike some other gem stones, diamonds

12/18/06 3:20:33 PM

exhibit no distinctive coloring or texture that indicate where they were mined. Some of the diamonds set in rings for sale in his shop may well have been unearthed in Africa, even though Autumn Gold buys mainly from suppliers who do business in Russia, Wallace adds. There’s nothing inherently bad about diamonds from Africa, cautions Susan Grannis. “If the African diamond trade slows because Americans aren’t buying diamonds because of the movie, some Africans are going to go hungry,” she adds. Hip-hop impresario Russell Simmons is making the same point. He notes that most diamonds from Africa are mined in Botswana, Namibia, South Africa and Tanzania — all countries with no recent history of civil warfare. “Africans need this industry,” Simmons declared last month when he publicized his own line of jewelry. “Diamonds pay for education and medical treatment in Africa.” �

It’s not every year a Vermonter is linked to the Oscars, but last week, when the Academy released its “short list” of best documentary films, The War Tapes was on it. Executive producer and Jericho resident Chuck Lacy could only jump for joy in his mind — he’s lying low at home, recovering from kneereplacement surgery. “We were psyched,” he allows. “It was a pretty damn humble project.” Humble? Only in the sense that the film was shot by rank amateurs: American GIs. The War Tapes’ subject is one of the most complex and vexing issues of the day — the quagmire in Iraq — and the ragged but unflinchingly real footage tells the story in a way no staged production ever could. The War Tapes is said to be

yearlong tour of duty in 2004. With cameras mounted on gun turrets, dashboards, helmets and vests, the soldiers accumulated more than 800 hours of tape.

With cameras mounted on gun turrets, dashboards, helmets and vests, the soldiers accumulated more than 800 hours of tape. Along with the tension and sometimes grisly happenstance of warfare, they also captured moments of candid cynicism, horseplay and utter boredom. Stateside, the filmmakers shot 200 additional hours documenting the lives of the families at home, both during the soldiers’ tour and after their return. Director Deborah Scranton and Lacy met when both were taking a writing class at Dartmouth College. “She needed a partner,”

he says simply. (His partner in life is Vermont Speaker of the House Gaye Symington.) For Lacy, an entrepreneur and former president of Ben & Jerry’s, this was a first film. Scranton, who had previously made a well-regarded pic about World War II, was invited to become “embedded” with a troop in Iraq, but she decided instead to find soldiers willing to record their own experiences. Luckily, the New Hampshire Guard was cooperative, and the U.S. Army didn’t pull the plug on the project, Lacy says. Other members of the filmmaking team were producer Robert May (The Fog of War) and producer/editor Steve James (Hoop Dreams). The result of their collective efforts is “mordantly effective filmmaking,” in the words of The New York Times. That esteemed paper is one of many that have heaped praise on The War Tapes, which won Best Documentary at the Tribeca Film Festival and Best International Documentary at the Britdoc Festival last year. Last week, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences narrowed a field of 81 contenders down to 15. “This is the fairest step in the process,” explains Lacy. “The people who vote on the short list are documentary filmmakers — it’s less haphazard, less political.” Four of the 15 films are about the Iraq war. On January 25, the five Oscar nominations will be chosen. The winner will be announced at the 79th Annual Academy Awards on February 25. �

Capital City politicians can now plug into “Switchboard.” Just in time for the legislative session, Vermont Public Radio recently boosted its Montpelier signal — the one that broadcasts the station’s hour-long call-in show Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings. A new lowpower frequency, or “translator,” has dramatically improved reception of VPR in Montpelier at 94.1. But State Street listeners ought not get too attached to VPR’s current lineup. By summer, “Switchboard” will likely be replaced by a news show called “Vermont Edition” that will air daily at noon. Numerous other programming changes are part of VPR’s long-term plan to serve the state with two parallel public radio stations: one broadcasting classical music exclusively; the other devoted to news, talk and information. The empire building is well underway: VPR Classical launched two years ago when it started broadcasting from Mount Ascutney. The signal can now be heard in Norwich, Bennington, Hanover, Manchester, Newbury, Woodstock and — the latest addition — Middlebury. DJ Walter Parker, who hosts classical music all morning on VPR, is slowly moving over to VPR

Classical; he’s on air there an hour a day. “Eventually he’ll be heard more hours on that network,” says VPR President Mark Vogelzang. “Our plan is to have three full-time hosts, which is a huge commitment in people, experience and programming know-how that will be on from morning through the evening drive.” Meanwhile, on the soon-to-be VPR News and Information sta-

tion, “I know BBC World Service will play a bigger role,” Vogelzang notes. It’s now on from 5 to 6 a.m. He also mentions the Los Angelesbased radio newsmagazine “Day to Day” and “Talk of the Nation.” All the jazz and other locally produced non-classical music shows will stay put, including Joel Najman’s “My Place” and Robert Resnik’s “All the Traditions.” But the station is currently advertising for two producers and a host to staff the locally produced “Vermont Edition.” When does Vermont Public Radio plan to throw the switch? When VPR Classical is available in

more places — in particular, Chittenden County. The station has so far been unsuccessful in locating a frequency in the Burlington area, and the Federal Communications Commission is not accepting license applications at this time. Nonetheless, Vogelzang expects the “transition” will take place over the course of the year. By summer, the daily news program should be up and running, with VPR Classical in the Burlington area to follow. “I think we’re saying 12 to 18 months for the main channel to become a news and information service,” Vogelzang says. Of course technology may dramatically alter that timeline. Both “services” are currently streaming online, and in July VPR started broadcasting programs digitally on HD Radio. The format allows broadcasters to offer multiple programming services on a single frequency. Vogelzang adds, “The web may surpass this transmission system that we run — FCC towers and licenses. Eventually it might all migrate online. But you can’t afford to say, ‘Oh, we won’t be a radio broadcaster.’ The challenge is for us to remain relevant with really good content in as many places as we can be.” �

SAGE TUCKER-KETCHAM

William Shakespeare — in the voice of Juliet Capulet — famously asked, “What’s in a name?” But for Burlington artist Sage TuckerKetcham, the question is, “What’s in a number?” The answer: a lot. This week, her Studio STK is vacating 64 North Street and settling in at 12, near the intersection with North Avenue. The “green” office building owned by A.J. Rossman houses his secondfloor business, Draker Solar Design, and a handful of other tenants. McCaffrey’s service station and Waggy’s Deli are right next door, Opportunities Credit Union is across the street, and Burlington College is a stone’s throw away. Tucker-Ketcham believes this proximity will not just increase traffic to her gallery and arts education center but also make its all-female staff feel more secure. “Safety is an issue,” she acknowledges. “We had some problems with crime in the space . . . North Street is not revitalizing as quickly as we’d hoped.” A far bigger concern for Studio STK, however, has been financial. The overhead at 64 North proved too onerous for the 2-year-old enterprise, and paying the bills depended on renting some of the studio space to other artists. The staff is composed of dedicated volunteers — “We get interns and they don’t leave!” Tucker-Ketcham

marvels. Funding sources have not always lived up to her vision for arts education in the Old North End. “We have this huge refugee population here, banging on my windows, saying, ‘We want to paint!’ every day,” she says. “We want to do stuff with them, but someone has to foot the bills.”

math degree from the University of Maryland. “We’re calling him our CFO,” Tucker-Ketcham says with a grin, noting that the arrangement is “all handshakebased” for now, but will soon become an official business partnership. First, there’s a lot of stuff to move down the street, walls to 2x3-novello101106.indd

Crosby is covering six months of rent at 12 North Street and is helping Tucker-Ketcham with her business plan. At 28, Tucker-Ketcham is already an experienced painter and art educator — she has taught for the YMCA and Burlington City Arts in addition to holding classes and instructing individuals at the studio — and a fearless entrepreneur. Petite and vivacious, she exudes enthusiasm despite the challenges of running a small business. That positive energy might be one reason Reid Crosby, 34, wants to support the Studio STK mission. A painter and photographer with a full-time job at IBM, the Colchester resident “has stepped up to help,” Tucker-Ketcham says. Specifically, Crosby is covering six months of rent at 12 North Street and is helping TuckerKetcham with her business plan — he holds both an art degree from St. Michael’s College and a

paint and artwork to hang. The new digs are “gorgeous,” declares Crosby. The high ceiling and a lobby-style entrance certainly make a good first impression. Studio STK’s space includes a small, windowed room facing the street, a long hallway, a minikitchen and large back room that will be used for shows, classes and events. “I think this will bring a nice life to the building,” Crosby adds. “It’s a very good investment in the community.” Studio STK will be open to visitors beginning January 15, but the grand opening will coincide with a reception for the digital and electronic artwork of Vermonter Shamms Mortier on January 26, 6-9 p.m. Visit www.studiostk.com for more info. �

fickle fannie BY DAVID DIEFENDORF

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

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.

Show and tell.

That she said OW LEFT us convinced she could feel pain after all. Kitty arranged the food for Bob’s party so I asked her to CATER MINE. Crop circles in Greece have the symbol PI GRAVEN into corn fields. Why some RATE LAND Rovers over Pathfinders is a total mystery. The Civil War saw an ironclad BOAT ROUT a fleet of wooden steamers. Owners of the next door CONDO RANT about college kids’ party noise. The WRENCH IMP is the most mechanically inclined of Santa’s elves. Some midwives place under the WOMB A TRAY to hold the placenta. Too much moaning in the background necessitated a NEW TAPE. E me with your Qs or comments (dd44art@aol.com). Difficulty rating for this puzzle: 10 TO 20. If you’re stuck, see the HINT on this page. If you cave, see the ANSWER on page 47 A. So much for Fickle Fannie’s tastes this week. Next week she’ll have a whole new set of likes and dislikes.

FICKLE FANNIE HINT: A space can make for strange bedfellows.

I’d be just as happy to eat the whole cake AS SHARE it with friends.

Need Mead? Five hundred years later, honey wine is the new — old — buzz by SUZANNE PODHAIZER

ead. The word conjures up images of fairy princesses delicately sipping golden nectar at magical feasts, or bearskin-clad warriors drinking deeply from heavy goblets. Lit buffs think instantly of Beowulf — mead was the drink of choice for northern tribes such as the Geats, who guzzled it from gilded oxhorns. Fantasy fans may recall that Theoden, King of Rohan in Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings series, inhabited the golden hall of Meduseld. The name literally means “mead hall” in Old English. But what is mead, anyway? Not just the stuff of legends, as it turns out. Mead is a fermented, alcoholic beverage made mainly from honey. Although it fell out of favor centuries ago, a few dozen artisanal meaderies across the U.S. have started making it again. Bolstered by the microbrew and localvore movements, last year the folks at Ferrisburgh’s Honey Gardens Apiaries jumped on the bee-buzz bandwagon. This week, they’re distributing the first 120 cases of their homemade honey wine to food co-ops — and one restaurant — in the northern part of the state. Food historians believe that mead was the first alcoholic beverage created by humans, long before agricultural practice allowed us to grow grapes for wine, or hops and barley for beer. Mead was featured

in the feasts and religious ceremonies of almost all ancient cultures, and is referenced in the artwork of the Aztecs, the sagas of northern Europe and the writings

Like wine, mead can run the gamut from dry to syrupy. of Greek philosophers. In fact, the word for “drunken” in ancient Greek literally means “honey intoxicated.” The term “honeymoon” supposedly can be traced back to a ceremony in which newlyweds were gifted with enough mead to satisfy

Although mead is still commonly consumed in some parts of the world, notably Ethiopia and Finland, its popularity has declined significantly since the late Middle Ages. Oddly enough, Henry VIII had a part in that fall off. After getting into

fisticuffs with the Catholic Church over his desire to divorce and remarry, the English monarch disbanded hundreds of Catholic monasteries. The monks had been prodigious beekeepers, since beeswax was used to make church candles, and mead had been a happy byproduct. Unfortunately, the hives were destroyed along with the religious buildings. The loss of the hives, the rise of sugar as a sweetener and the cheap importation of wine combined to practically wipe out the widespread drinking of mead. Over the last two decades, as smallbatch brewing methods began to regain popularity, small meaderies have sprung >> 0 B

OliO Verde extra Virgin OliVe Oil Here’s an amazing product that we really think you should know about! A Sicilian unfiltered olive oil that’s vivacious, herbal and bold all at once. WAIT! Here’s the amazing part: the product on the shelf at Healthy Living is from this year’s harvest, creating a superb product like none other. Come see for yourself! You’ll notice that the entire bottle is a cloudy green, as opposed to just a cloudy bottom of previous years. We specially ordered these bottles, before harvesting began, to offer our customers the freshest, finest quality and most delicious extra virgin olive oil. This isn’t a cooking oil; it’s best used right out of the beautiful square bottle… drizzled on baby greens or broiled fish, as a dip for fresh bread, a fantastic finish for a risotto, or dollopped right into your soup! We’ll be sampling the Olio Verde on Saturday January 13th between 1-4pm, right here at the store!

Unlike locally brewed beer, which typically uses hops and grains grown in the western U.S., “All of the fermentables we use are local,” Feldman boasts. In this case, local means from New England and parts of New York. The local focus fits in with the PHOTO: ANDY DUBACK

up — the largest, in Colorado, boasted a 40 percent increase in production last year. After visiting a few in New York State, Honey Gardens owner Todd Hardie decided to venture into brewing. Last May, he hired meadmaster Jake Feldman, 27, who used to whip up batches of beer at Franconia Notch Brewery in New Hampshire. When asked how he became a “hop head,” Feldman says, “It started as a hobby and then I basically begged my way into a few brewing jobs.” This is his first foray into mead-making. Honey Gardens’ initial effort is called Melissa after the Greek Melissae — the term refers both to Hellenic “bee priestesses” and to goddesses such as Aphrodite and Artemis, who were associated with bees. After experimenting with more than 20 trial batches last summer, Feldman finally came up with a suitable formula, which he calls a “hybrid of beer-making and wine-making” techniques. Melissa is delicately effervescent, with an 8 percent alcohol content. The batch now on its way to stores was begun in September and has just finished “conditioning” in bottles. The ingredients for Melissa are simple — honey, water and yeast — but specialized paraphernalia is necessary to control the fermentation. Luckily for Feldman and co., Kenneth Albert of Shelburne Vineyards was willing to share his equipment and expertise with the fledgling fermenters. The Shelburne Vineyards winery now includes a special area, marked off with duct tape, where Feldman brews mead and stores barrels of raw honey. Although his main workspace is at the apiary, Feldman drops by the winery every day when mead is in the works. To make a batch of Melissa, Feldman blends 700 pounds of honey with water and pasteurizes the mixture. Why pasteurize when raw honey is touted for its health benefits? Because it contains wild yeast that could interfere with the brewing process. The mixture is cooled, blended with a carefully chosen brewing yeast, and poured into two 1500liter stainless-steel tanks. The tanks are temperature-controlled and have valves that allow carbon dioxide, a natural byproduct of fermentation, to escape. When the mead is mostly fermented, it is bottled and sealed. At this stage in the process, the liquid is cloudy from the living yeast and flat, since all the carbon dioxide has seeped out of the tank. But the beverage goes through some dramatic changes during its final “conditioning.” The yeast feeds on additional sugar, turning it into alcohol and carbon dioxide. When the yeast runs out of food, it dies and sinks to the bottom of the bottle,

creating “lees” that are rich in B vitamins. With the yeast out of the way, the gently fizzy liquid is now transparent gold in color. Although he hasn’t had a chance to test the theory on his own product, Feldman declares, “Mead gets better with age.” He estimates that bottles of Melissa could be cellared “for about three years before it maxes out.” Those who choose to drink it now will experience the aroma and flavor of honey. Because it’s only 8 percent alcohol, lower

Honey Gardens’ initial effort is called Melissa after the Greek Melissae — the term refers both to Hellenic “bee priestesses” and to goddesses such as Aphrodite and Artemis, who were associated with bees. than many wines, the taste is fairly delicate. And though it is slightly sweet, it isn’t cloying. “People think it will be supersweet because it’s made with honey,” Feldman says. Instead, like wine, it can run the gamut from dry to syrupy. Because the flavor is mild and unusual, Feldman thinks the Melissa is best enjoyed by itself. If you do pair mead with food, though, he recommends something spicy “because it has a little bit of sweetness and palate-cleansing bubbles.” Feldman also suggests serving it with cheese and fruit. The two vats that held the Melissa before it was bottled are now filled with Feldman’s current venture. He’s working on a trio of fruit-flavored meads,

apiary’s eco-friendly philosophy; all Honey Gardens products “celebrate the beneficial relationship between the farmer and the beekeeper,” says Feldman. As that relationship grows more strained by environmental factors that harm bees — including climate change and pests — the apiary staff are working to increase the visibility and importance of bees in our culture. But getting the mead into the right hands is the first order of business. Starting this week, 750 milliliter bottles of Melissa will be available at most local food co-ops for around $12 each. They’ll also be pouring it by the glass in Burlington, at American Flatbread. That wood-fired pizza oven has medieval written all over it. >

The Monkey House in Winooski has changed hands. Marc and Jean Dysinger are part owners; they own Sneakers Bistro next door. The principle proprietor is Ryan Smith, who used to work at Nectar’s and Club Metronome in B-town, and also did a stint at Sneakers back in the day. Marc Dysinger describes him as “a talented bartender and solid citizen.” The new owners will “build on the previous success” of the bar’s founders: Three Needs owner Glenn Walter and real-estate developers Anne Rothwell and Lou Natale. They “had a great vision,” Dysinger says. Where does that leave the signature grilled cheese sandwiches? “If we’re going to do food, we’ll do it the right way,” he says. “We’ll try and dress it up a bit.” But the space doesn’t currently include a kitchen, and with the rest of the building devoted to residential apartments, there’s not much room for growth. For now, says Dysinger, “we’re still trying to figure out where all the light switches are.” Visit the music section for Casey Rea’s take on all this monkey business. It takes more than luck to open an eatery. And at Kismet in Montpelier, it’s clear from the menu that owners Crystal Maderia and Alanna Dorf are taking conscious cuisine to a new level. The obligatory eggs Benedict comes with a choice of smoked ham or tempeh on herbed toast; the

Tara Vaughan-Hughes has sold her popular Vergennes restaurant, but you can still Eat Good Food in Addison County. New owner Matthew Birong, originally of Essex, previously worked at Leunig’s and the Waiting Room. Chef Birong will rename the place, and he plans to nix the retail section in favor of additional seating, according to Vaughan-Hughes. She remains chef-owner of EGF in Middlebury, where the gourmet grocery section continues to expand, and has “a really nice selection of beer and wine,” Vaughan-Hughes notes. Also new: She says recently completed minor renovations have made the restaurant feel “more cozy” and “more open,” all at the same time. How does that work? EGF Middlebury now serves breakfast, starting at 9 every morning. Why all of the changes? Vaughan-Hughes and husband Pip are in the process of adopting twins. She figures she’ll be busy enough with two little ones and just one restaurant. You think?

A hyper-healthy steamed grain and vegetable bowl features either tofu or free-range chicken, and a choice of dressings. The DIY theme continues with build-your-own sweet or savory crepes.

Chowhound, the national online source of gourmet gossip, reports that South Burlington’s Parkway Diner will be closing in March. Is it true? Owner George Alvanos has “no comment right now,” he says, then adds, “Nothing is settled.” Stay tuned.

Crumbs The February issue of Food & Wine magazine gives a nod to the localvore movement, by featuring two chef-advocates on either side of the country. Vermont’s own Jeremy Silansky, chef de cuisine at American Flatbread in Waitsfield, shares his recipes for watercress salad with beets and roastedgarlic crostini; butternut squash soup with apple and smoked cheddar; and red wine-braised lamb shanks. No mention of pizza . . . Beginning January 15, Hen of the Wood in Waterbury will feature “Chalkboard Menu Mondays.” At the slow start of the week, Chefs Eric Warnstedt and Craig Tresser will whip up entrées for under $20 that “celebrate our local farms and sustainable agriculture,” according to Warnstedt. Patrons will also get a special deal on carafes of wine. SUZANNE PODHAIZER

Taste Test: The Zen Garden The Seven Nights dining guide lists a full dozen Asian restaurants in the Burlington area. Newest among them is the Zen Garden, which opened in December. It’s located off Shelburne Road in South Burlington, right behind McDonald’s. Owner Tom Liang, who calls his establishment “an authentic Chinese restaurant,” says most dishes are either Cantonese or Szechuan. He also stresses that the food is not Americanized, but “what Chinese people eat.” After walking past a large fountain filled with goldfish, we were quickly seated at a booth in the spacious dining room. Tables were covered with royal-blue cloths, and the paper placemats on top had a slightly lacy pattern — no Chinese zodiacs here. The menu, on the other hand, included many of the usual suspects: crab Rangoon, a pu pu platter, General Tsao’s chicken. I’ve never been to China, but given Liang’s claim of authenticity, I’d hoped to find a few surprises. The small but carefully chosen wine list featured varietals that go well with spicy food, such as Zinfandel and Riesling. The beers were mostly domestic and mass-market, but included two bottled Chinese beers and a couple of Vermont microbrews on tap. I was disappointed when my single serving of oolong tea came in a mug with a tea bag — and no saucer on which to place it. Those who ordered pots of tea received a French press full of loose leaf. The soups were served in pretty, teardrop-shaped bowls. I was pleased with their looks but disappointed by their flavors. The wonton soup was standard, with strands of lettuce swimming in mild broth and lightly spiced meat in the wontons. The hot-and-sour soup looked thick and hearty — filled with mushrooms, tofu, bamboo shoots and feathery shreds of egg — but it was only slightly hot and not at all sour. I tasted it several times in search of acidity, to no avail. Things improved when the apps arrived. The “Zen” pancake came with two dipping sauces: soy ginger and gentle curry. Both were pleasant and added interest to the plain pancake. Szechwan sesame dumplings, attractively presented in a white ceramic bowl with wavy edges, were coated in sesame sauce, sprinkled with scallions, and drizzled with hot pepper oil. Although the dumplings were a tiny bit overcooked, the sauce had a delicate sesame flavor and just the right amount of spice. The “sizzling chicken with vegetables” house special hissed and steamed appropriately when ladled tableside onto a blistering cast-iron platter. The chicken itself was rather bland, as if it had been completely cooked first and then dolloped with sauce. But the tasty vegetables — carrots, pea pods, shiitake mushrooms and bamboo shoots — had a good texture, and the sauce itself was savory. Fried tangerine beef, served in filet form rather than in the usual slices, came garnished with crispy tangerine peel. The sticky, sweet citrus sauce could have been overbearing in larger quantity, but the portions were just right. My sweet-toothed dining partner loved it. The waitstaff was attentive, answering our questions promptly and refilling our water glasses frequently. We left feeling satisfied but not stuffed. Eating at the Zen Garden may not be an eating adventure, but for those who want excellent service and decent Chinese food with above-average sauces, it’s a fine choice. SUZANNE PODHAIZER

ermonters arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t known for being trendy. Last month, the National Restaurant Association proclaimed that serving Scandinavian dishes and topping food with edible flowers were quickly becoming passĂŠ, but this earth-shattering pronouncement barely registered in the Green Mountain State. Why? Because weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d never been on board in the first place. In 2006, not a single local res-

taurant teased our palates with cold reindeer tongue or lutefisk. Indifferent chefs statewide garnished their plates with chopped herbs, buttered crostini and liberal drizzles of truffle oil instead of geranium petals or violets. The onset of 2007 brought with it a whole new crop of predictions, most of which will probably never influence eating in Vermont. Dana Cowin, editor-in-chief of Food & Wine magazine, insisted that Scandinavian food will still be hot in the upcoming months.

Look for entrĂŠes with refreshingly short names such as â&#x20AC;&#x153;beef,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;tofuâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;chicken.â&#x20AC;?

And celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain predicts weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll eat more offal in the coming year. To our credit, we did anticipate that one . . . Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve decided to compile our own list of upcoming food trends that may actually influence Vermonters. But as you read, keep in mind that at Seven Days, our favorite dish is â&#x20AC;&#x153;tongue in cheek.â&#x20AC;? Limit yourself More as a Neighborhoodvore Last summer saw the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Localvore Challenge,â&#x20AC;? but with the support of area farmers and businesses, dining on all-Vermont products has become, less, well, challenging. In 2007, some of the most dedicated members of the movement will further restrict their horizons by becoming â&#x20AC;&#x153;neighborhoodvores.â&#x20AC;? Ethical to the extreme, these â&#x20AC;&#x153;hoodiesâ&#x20AC;? will create their own foodsheds within 10 blocks of their homes. Fancy a fat, roasted squirrel with unidentified fungus sauce, acorn meal mush and a dandelion green and wood sorrel salad? Who wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t? The best part is, in winter, most roadside greens come pre-oiled and liberally coated in salt. For those who arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ready to commit 100 percent, an Ethan Allen exception can be made to include any food that would have been available to the historic Vermont hero.

The day begins at 4 a.m., just in time for morning milking. After milking each cow by hand and applying bag balm to a few chapped udders, it’ll be time to have fun in the barn — how often do you get to shoot the shit and shovel it, all at the same time? Various chores will occupy the rest of your day, and may include chopping firewood, making hay or tidying up the farmhouse. Not an animal lover? How about “Food co-op employee for a day”? Paper or plastic?

Nonfunctional Foods For decades, the U.S. government has promoted “fortification” of foods to increase their healthy qualities. Cereal flakes

are sprayed with vitamins, plenty of orange juice brands provide a slug of calcium in their juice, and Vitamin D is almost always added to milk. More recently, health-food products have been pumped up with nutritional powerhouses such as wheatgrass juice, bee pollen and algae. But the move towards “superfoods” hasn’t come without a backlash. Angry libertarians, tired of being coerced into eating healthily by the “food police,” will lead the march towards nonfunctional foods in 2007. They’ll champion

products that are free of fiber, vitamins and minerals, but filled with sweeteners, trans-fats and salt. Luckily for them, the shelves of local supermarkets will provide loads of options. Margarine, doughnuts and packaged gravy are sure to be big hits with these freedom fighters.

Destination Vacation: Dairy Farmer for a Day Aging baby-boomers have really gotten down with the idea of paying to do somebody else’s work, and the trend seems to be catching on in Vermont. At Three Owl’s Farm in Granville, you can shell out $235 to be a “cheesemaker for a day.” And for $350, you can be a “chef for a day” at Hemingway’s restaurant in Killington. Plenty of people already pay to chop onions at the state’s sole culinary institute. In 2007, the newly retired will find several more ways to experience Vermont life. They’ll particularly dig authentic new “dairy farmer for the day” vacation packages. Nothing beats spending your vacation frolicking with livestock on a Vermont farm.

CSAs: Community Supported Agribusiness Farmers kept agribusiness bigwigs on their toes in 2006 by selling directly to consumers at markets and through CSA shares. But in 2007, the CEOs will fight back with their own, corporate-style “CSAs.” For just a few hundred dollars each year, Vermonters can have boxes of their favorite processed foods delivered to their doorsteps. Although every package will look a little different, you can be sure that corn and potato chips, hyper-sweet cereals, canned vegetables and fruit-like juices will always be included. The items will be trucked directly to the buyer from various factories in the Midwest and are guaranteed to be fresh — not that it really matters. Fueling the transaction? All-American petroleum from the pristine wilds of Alaska, of course.

menu descriptions got a wee bit out of control. What the heck is “locally milled hard red wheat lovingly blended with spring water and airborne micro-organisms, baked, sliced, spread with an alliaceous lipid concoction and toasted?” It’s garlic bread, for Pete’s sake! In 2007, restaurants will get back to basics with menu descriptions that capture the essence of each dish. Look for entrées with refreshingly short names such as “beef,” “tofu” and “chicken.” So what if you don’t know how your meat is cooked or the ingredients in the sauce? It’s the chef ’s job to worry about that stuff — not yours.

Re The Semi-Cooked Food Diet In 2007, consumers confused over conflicting information about health and nutrition will drop their complicated diets and head for the coziness of middle ground. Nowhere will this be more evident than in the move away from the radical raw-food diet. Former proponents of raw will begin to revel in the simplicity of the “semi-cooked food diet,” which doesn’t require any fancy equipment or complicated steps. Just follow a recipe as usual, cut the cooking time in half and enjoy a meal that’s sure to be chock-full of something healthy. Indulgences will include super-al dente pasta with half-raw meatballs and rosy chicken legs with crunchy risotto and almost-wilted chard. Dessert? Try a healthy scoop of moderately cooked chocolate cake topped with a dollop of nearly whipped cream. Now, that’s a half-baked idea I can live with! Single-Origin Corn Syrup Last year, visitors to Lake Champlain Chocolates stores could buy flavorful single-origin bars made with cacao beans from Saõ Thome, Grenada or Tanzania. Thanks to the folks at Shelburne Farms and a few local professors, it was also the year we learned that the flavor of maple syrup is affected by the soil in which the trees grow. This year, big-name cola brands will pick up on the “terroir” trend by pioneering the use of single-origin corn syrup. Does that bottle of Coke contain the sickly sweet fluid made from Iowan corn, or might it feature the viscous but less cloying variety from the fields of Kansas? Just read the label to find out. >

STAYIN’ DEAD OR ALIVE

» sevendaysvt.com

sound bites

Performances by instrumental rock trio Charles, Dead or Alive? are pretty rare these days. Drummer Joe Slaby spends much of the year on the road as a drum tech to the stars, while guitarist Nate Plasha and bassist Gahlord Dewald keep busy with other endeavors. Plasha has lately been performing with the band HellerHighWater; Dewald is the musical director for Viva Voce, the folks behind the Faust Puppet Opera. CDOA? will reconvene at Burlington’s Firehouse Center on Wednesday, January 10, where they’ll provide a live soundtrack to Fritz Lang’s archetypal sci-fi flick Metropolis. Playing along with silent features is de rigueur for moody instrumental acts — the band was bound to get around to it eventually. The German movie is considered the fountainhead of futuristic cinema — not bad considering it was shot in 1927. You can see echoes of Lang’s opus in modern classics such as Blade Runner and Star Wars. In fact, C-3PO’s fab golden style was directly inspired by Metropolis. The movie reportedly cost 7 million Reichsmark — the equivalent of 200 million in today’s currency — making it one of the first “bigbudget thrill rides.” Trust me when I say you can see every penny on the screen. You just can’t hear it. That’s where CDOA? come in. Their crescendo-rock already sounds cinematic, so it should pair well with Lang’s vision of technological dystopia. The show starts at 7:30 and costs $7. Pretty cheap for a concert and a movie.

BALLERS UNITE The folks at Montpelier’s Halogen Records have had a busy season. Last November, they joined forces with increasingly popular jocks the Vermont Frost Heaves for a hip-hop and basketball-themed shindig at Positive Pie 2. That event was a success, and the two crews continue to collaborate. Halogen hip-hop artist EN recently composed a theme song for FH mascot Bump the Moose, unsurprisingly titled “Bump the Moose.” It’ll debut at the Heaves’ Burlington appearance on January 20. Something tells me there’ll be an easy-to-learn dance involved. I’ve heard a couple of top-secret versions of the track, which were “leaked” to me by Halogen honcho Justin Hoy. I know next to nothing about b-ball, but I’m pretty comfortable critiquing music. So here goes. A handful of years ago, mock-rockers Ween were improbably commissioned to write the music for a Pizza Hut commercial. They turned in a strange little ditty called “Where’d the Cheese Go At?” Suffice it to say, the corporate suits deemed it unacceptable. “Bump the Moose” is unlikely to face that kind of rejection, but it’s equally odd. The song has a simple structure — the kind of thing your little brother could throw together with Garage Band while simultaneously watching YouTube videos and rebuking a congressman’s IM advances. But it sure is catchy. Most bizarre are the sampled moose grunts, which sound like a rusty chainsaw being pull-started. EN’s flow is solid enough, but he sounds unsure about putting his rep on the line for a goofy mascot. Still, it’s easy to imagine amped-up game freaks hollering along to the larger-than-life hook. Queen can sleep easy, however — “We Will Rock You” will no doubt retain its title as Ultimate Sports Anthem. In other news, Halogen recently signed local band Manifest Nexto Me to a “worldwide distribution and development deal.” They’ve previously entered agreements with The Aztext and Abby Jenne. The imprint is also launching a subsidiary label called HipJoint Records, which will focus on reggae, rock, ska and punk music. You could say they’re keepin’ it real in Montpelier.

MONKEY BUSINESS Before the holidays, rumors were flying about the impending sale of Winooski’s Monkey House. Well, the deal has indeed gone down. Sneakers owner Marc Dysinger and Ryan Smith, formerly of Nectar’s, are the new proprietors. So what does this mean? Are they turning it into a karaoke joint or a DJ dance club? Not that there’s anything wrong with that. But I know some local musicians who’d be pretty pissed.

Well, they can relax. The Monkey will continue to host live music, mostly on the weekends. That’s good news for those who’ve come to depend on TMH as an alternative venue. I recently chatted with Smith, who told me he’d be handling the booking himself. “At first I was so overwhelmed that I thought of hiring someone else to do it,” he says. “But I think it’ll be better for the club if I’m the one developing the relationships. I’m hoping the regulars are still interested in playing here.” There will be some changes, however, mostly of the cosmetic variety. “We put fresh paint on, and are bringing in a new pool table and some old-school video games,” Smith reveals. The walls will be decorated with vintage music posters and memorabilia, courtesy of Montpelier’s Riverwalk Records. “We want it to be a little more welcoming, and a little more fun,” Smith says. Sounds like one of my New Year’s resolutions.

SWEET EMOTION :: Vermont’s hardworking singer-songwriter Aaron Flinn recently released his sixth full-length disc, Giving Up the Ghost. The album’s acoustic meditations on life and love feature intricate guitar and Flinn’s charmingly bearish vocals. But he’s also versed in high-energy pop-rock — his unbridled stage shows with backing band Salad Days are the stuff of local legend. Fans can hear both sides of Flinn at his CD release party at the Higher Ground Showcase Lounge this Sunday.

reviewthis SONS OF DAWN, SONS OF DAWN

MILKMANâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S UNION, OH BOY

(Self-released, CD)

(Young Scientist Records, CD)

Vermont indie-pop songsmith Henry Jamison-Root released his first disc as Milkmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Union when he was just 17. That was last March. He certainly hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been resting on his laurels, as his latest effort, Oh Boy, attests. The disc is full of sonic intricacies, bearing similarities to todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most erudite indie acts. JamisonRootâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lyrics are literate, but hardly pretentious. Some of â&#x20AC;&#x2122;em might even make the grade in poetry class. Although Oh Boy is a solid listen front to back, its finest tunes come early. Opener â&#x20AC;&#x153;Leavesâ&#x20AC;? contains tinkling piano, laid-back drums and Jamison-Rootâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s earnest vocal melodies. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She leaves with ease the atmosphere and burns a bitter bright bouquet / And I see her go down in a glorious flame / And fade endlessly away,â&#x20AC;? he tenderly croons. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Red Dressâ&#x20AC;? is a jaunty number that borrows its feel from country-folk. Again, Jamison-Rootâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lyrics take a cerebral turn: â&#x20AC;&#x153;She wore a red dress and I read a book on architecture / I was not interested at all,â&#x20AC;? he sings in the songâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first line. The feisty instrumentation â&#x20AC;&#x201D; do I hear a mandolin in there somewhere? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; nicely augments the smart wordplay. Lo-fi electronica gets its due on â&#x20AC;&#x153;Player Piano,â&#x20AC;? a tune with decidedly cheesy synth tones and tacky percussion. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a cute diversion, but I prefer the more reflective numbers, such as the Dylan-esque sonnet, â&#x20AC;&#x153;June June June.â&#x20AC;? The strutting indie-funk of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Morningsâ&#x20AC;? is charming, but it pales next to some of Jamison-Rootâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more adventurous arrangements. The track is built on a repeating acoustic guitar figure and loping bass that never quite gels. But, hey, at least there are some groovy handclaps. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Storm/Sleepâ&#x20AC;? features only acoustic guitar, bass and a particularly elegiac vocal performance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What a pretty girl and garden,â&#x20AC;? he coos in the songâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s haunting refrain. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve screwed yourself sufficiently for both of us, I will attempt to walk you home,â&#x20AC;? JamisonRoot sings on the prettily maudlin â&#x20AC;&#x153;The City and the Country.â&#x20AC;? The song captures the ups and downs of indulgence, both romantic and otherwise. Milkmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Union is a great vehicle for Jamison-Rootâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s talents, which continue to develop. Hear him live at the CD release party on Saturday, January 13, at City Hall Auditorium. CASEY REA

Burlington rock trio Sons of Dawn play music that evokes used Lotto tickets and leaky dumpsters. Guitarist, vocalist and chief songwriter Michael Tonn says his tunes contain a strong â&#x20AC;&#x153;redneck folklore element.â&#x20AC;? Think Paul Bunyan on malt liquor. Backing Tonn on this disc is drummer Joey Adams, who also plays with the Cave Bees, and psychedelic cowboy Mickey Western â&#x20AC;&#x201D; here assuming the stage name Matthew Minor. What they lack in proficiency, they more than make up for in cantankerousness. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Linwoodâ&#x20AC;? opens with brusquely strummed acoustic guitar and lightly distorted vocals, soon joined by gritty electrics and pounding percussion. The licks are in the wrong key and the rhythms are iffy, but for meathead rock, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not bad. Subsequent track â&#x20AC;&#x153;City of the Damnedâ&#x20AC;? features vocals that sound like a cross between Alice Cooper and a local barfly who caterwauls to power ballads on the jukebox. It should be noted that the recording quality is sub-par, but this actually adds to the overall shit-shack ambience. My favorite cut on the disc is â&#x20AC;&#x153;Knucklebones.â&#x20AC;? If the Damned and Foghat had a baby in a dirty bathtub, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d likely sound like this. Which is to say, pretty freaking ugly. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Beautiful on Fireâ&#x20AC;? is the closest thing here to a ballad. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You look beautiful on fire,â&#x20AC;? Tonn growls over crusty guitar and rumpled bass. The song might not be prom-worthy, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d sound perfect in some Northwestern punk dive. The disc closes with â&#x20AC;&#x153;Big Heavy Soul,â&#x20AC;? another outlaw anthem that borrows its hook from an unlikely source: Depeche Modeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Personal Jesus.â&#x20AC;? But it sure as hell ainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t poncy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a big heavy soul / Drinkinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; whiskey by the river,â&#x20AC;? Tonn warbles. It sounds like theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been drinkinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; something. My guess is formaldehyde. Sons of Dawn are lowdown, ornery and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem interested in making friends. For that, I salute them. CASEY REA

FRANKLY OUTRAGEOUS :: Long-time Frank Zappa vocalist Ike Willis made his debut on the 1979 mock-rock concept album Joeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Garage. These days, he keeps the FZ spirit alive with

Project/Object, a tribute band performing tunes from the late composerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deep catalogue. P/O got its start in the

early â&#x20AC;&#x2122;90s at an annual Zappa birthday celebration hosted by axeman Andre Cholomondeley. Soon, they took to the road, recreating Zappaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tricky tunes with the kind of wit and precision that would please the maestro himself. Freak out at Club Metronome this Friday. 1x6-vtpub122706

civil rites People who don’t have to go to work or school this Monday may “have a dream” of a long weekend and an extra day to sleep in. But the events commemorating Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day all over the state give civic-minded Vermonters plenty of options for reflecting on race relations and the institutions that shore up our ideals of justice and equality. A twoday public symposium at Champlain College offers more than 10 workshops exploring topics such as racism in U.S. society and the media, the nature of nonviolent protest, and the connections between King’s dream and contemporary hip-hop music culture. On Tuesday evening, a candlelit interfaith service accompanied by ecumenical choir music closes the conference. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration

scene@ “LOOKING BACK AT VERMONT: FARM SECURITY ADMINISTRATION PHOTOGRAPHS” FLETCHER FREE LIBRARY, BURLINGTON, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 3, 7 P.M.

PHOTO: MYESHA GOSSELIN

A lecture about Depression-era Farm Security Administration photos, in a library basement community room, seemed an unlikely place to find a standing-room-only crowd just after the holidays. But the stunning blackand-white pictures and revealing stories captivated the audience of more than 50 people — much as they had historian Nancy Price Graff when she first “stumbled into the project” 10 years ago. She spoke softly from a podium beside the screen where she showed slides of snow-covered Hartland barns, mustachioed Eden elders, gossiping Rutland fairgoers and struggling Fairfield farmers. Taken between 1936 and 1942 as part of a New Deal program to document rural culture, the images depict Vermont “on the eve of monumental change,” Price Graff noted. Her first encounter with the 1600 photos — uncatalogued, in a dusty box of microfilm — spurred her to research their origins. “I was blown away by how beautiful they were, how haunting they were, how shocking they were,” she said. An exhibition at Middlebury College and a book ensued. Price Graff recounted the trips of nine lensmen and women who came to Vermont for the FSA’s Historical Section, sent by charismatic project leader Roy Stryker. He dispatched now-legendary photogs such as Dorothea Lange and Walker Evans to all 48 states, assigning them to capture concrete subjects (fairs, farmers’ cooperatives, rural poverty) as well as intangible themes (interconnectedness, cold). In the process, he singlehandedly transformed his department’s bureaucratic mission into “the largest visual arts project in U.S. history,” remarked Price Graff. When World War II led to the project’s demise, Stryker turned over all 270,000 negatives to the Library of Congress. The images are in the public domain, and prints can be ordered for as little as $25. At last: a government program that ended up a bargain, not a boondoggle. ELISABETH CREAN

BODY OF WORK Brooklyn-based dance artist Miguel Gutierrez won a Bessie Award last September for two works that question the nature of planned artistic endeavors. His edgy performances make it easy to see why. Retrospective Exhibitionist and Difficult Bodies form a diptych that examines the two sides of every stage event — what a performer shows and what he feels. In Exhibitionist, a sometimes-nude Gutierrez shuttles between his own real and imagined performance personae via a TV/VCR, mike, boom box and video camera. In Bodies, three female dancers from his Powerful People troupe provoke the audience with shouts and gyrations, while Gutierrez manipulates sound from the sidelines. Think of it as a moving show and tell. Miguel gutierrez

BRASS ACT Brass bands usually bring to mind summertime Sousa marches or Oktoberfest oom-pah. But the Meridian Arts Ensemble breaks the mold with genre-bending sounds for all seasons. The New York City-based brass chamber group horns in on pop music with an innovative repertoire ranging from Renaissance and Baroque compositions to trombone-accented versions of hits by Jimi Hendrix, Frank Zappa and Ladysmith Black Mambazo. Meridian’s lone percussionist and five horn players manage near-symphonic sound, despite the ensemble’s smallness, and find a happy medium between instrumental skill and notebending silliness. Catch this week’s high-octane offering and you may hear Afro-Cuban dance rhythms alongside Bach and Captain Beefheart. Meridian arts enseMble

If you’re looking for relationships, dates, flirts, or to hook-up, this is your scene. WOMEN seeking MEN IS THIS THING FREE? Recently moved from southern VT to the good old Northeast Kingdom. I’m loving it, but it’s not the best place to meet new people. Evenings, you’ll find me at home cooking something fantastic, or out for drinks with some friends. Weekends, I’m outside - hiking, camping, snowboarding, all those awesome outdoorsy things. There’s no place like the top of a mountain! hminteresting, 24, l, #103357 CREATIVE FUNNY INTELLIGENT Okay, so I’m a Capricorn with a Gemini Rising Sign. That means I have two opposing personalities. I’m strong but not bulletproof. I want someone who’s funny, intelligent, self-sufficient, independent, and employed. Being physically attracted to each other is a requirement for a relationship, and I won’t settle on that account - neither should you. susanvt, 38, l, #103345 JOIE DE VIVRE I enjoy life and am fun, responsive and interesting. I’m in the best part of life and would like to share it. Part of what makes me special is I’m a great communicator. I find talking to each other is incredibly sexy. Friends are great, but even a hot woman with a hot sports car needs heat in the winter. adventure, 47, l, #103337 SWEET AND INNOCENT When it comes to love, I’m looking for a man with “white picket fence” potential: the guy who will compliment my mom, helps clean the dishes and could melt the polar ice caps with his smile. He’s not always perfect and can be a tad too predictable at times. twstdsunshine77, 29, l, #103329 ARRRRRGH, AHOY ME HEARTY wicked smaaaaht and saucy pirate wench with a taste for grog seeks scurvy-free swashbuckler who can shiver me timbers and bring the swag onboard. Ye must have piles of doubloons and a powerful cannon. I can swear the barnacles off your bilge pump and me booty is a treasure, which you’ll notice when me walk da plank. no lubbers please. piratewench, 29, l, #103306 LOOKING FOR MR RIGHT Looking for someone who shares the same interests as me: dancing, dining, movies, honesty, trustworthy, caring and cuddling, I am very honest and caring, I am not into head games. If you are that person write to me. lorijones6, 36, u, l, #103304 GEMINI CATS NEED NOT APPLY What is with cat-loving Geminis being the only men to hit on me? Ick. I do not date NYY fans. No exceptions. No cats. I crack myself up, but I know that nobody really meets this way anyway. Just wasting some time..... :). sillysally, 32, #103300

FUNGIRL I like to have innocent fun (good oldfashioned fun) with friends. I am a big flirt and comfortable with my sexuality. I can be sassy, judgmental, angry, and do crazy things sometimes. Depending on my moods I can do anything I want to because I am easy to get along with. I am divorced and just want to start having fun. funfulltime, 39, #103282 SEEKING MY PRINCE Fun-loving, independent, forgiving soul looking for someone to share life with. I am just as comfortable in a pair of jeans as I am in a long black dress. I am looking for someone who is interesting, knows how to treat a woman, and would like to eventually have a serious relationship with children. blueeyes122971, 35, l, #103280 ONE SIP AND YOU’RE SPRUNG! Drinking is like meeting new people, sure you have your favorites but every now and again you like to mix it up by trying something new. I’m a single 23, brunette with a curvy 220lb body. I’d love to find an activity partner for day and night time activities. Work out, shop, play outdoors or get a drink! MartiniWomen23, 23, l, #103274 ENJOY A CUP OF TEA! Only honesty and open-minded people need read on. Intelligence and the eyes are the sexiest things about a person. Kids and animals are God’s greatest gift no matter whose kids or animals they are. Rene, 34, l, #103222 NOT THE SAME I am a high-strung happy mom, I am not sure who runs around my house faster, me or my son. I love life it is too stort not to enjoy all of it. There is more out there that I would love to do and show my son. Opinionated, 31, #103212 NATURE’S OWN WILD CHILD Sarcastic, sensual flirt. Looking for friends to start. I get along with most everyone & love social settings. I am interested in fitness. I’m a redneck girl who loves 4-wheeling & riding my Harley, but also enjoy a night on the town. If you’re sensually/playful, like the sticks and the clubs, lets have fun! tigereyes2669, 32, u, l, #103206 READY TO CROSS DELANCEY STREET Many of the best moments of my life were spent traveling, immersing myself in another culture, country and language. I am drawn to the energy, diversity and culture of NYC, but also enjoy walking my dog in the woods of Vermont. The man I hope to meet shares my values, is kind, funny, and smart. He loves life, children, dogs. amelie, 45, l, #103185 DREAM WITH ME Imagine joy! Let’s live it. Imagine love! Let’s be it.

Unplugged!

Mistress

Maeve

Your Gracious Guide to Love & Lust! Dear Mistress Maeve, I’m pretty much a normal guy, but I have a slightly different fetish that seems to cause issues when it comes to relationships. To put it bluntly, I enjoy being kicked in the balls. It’s not the most common fetish, but it is one that has been around for a while. There are many men who also have this fetish, although it seems more common in Asian countries. This has become more than just a fetish for me — it’s a necessity. In order to maintain a sexual relationship, I need a partner who is into this fetish and willing to participate on nearly a daily basis. I’ve dated a few women who have done this for me, but I can tell they did not enjoy it. I’m not into any other SM activities, just this one. Are there women out there who enjoy this who don’t do it for a living? I know men who are into it and keep it in the closet, but are there women doing the same thing? How would I find them? D Cal Dear D Cal, Many men, of all races and orientations, share your fantasy of getting kicked in the family jewels. In fact, most men who share your fetish become fully aroused when their partners kick, grab, punch or squeeze their testicles — some men can even ejaculate from this
