theREALESTATEDEAL reeling in...

kristine stell

My dream vacation would be... Going to Australia, spending plenty of time in the ocean. something i would like to do, but haven’t had the chance… I would love to spend more time in our boat fishing, swimming, taking longer trips on the lake.

Before i was a realtor, one of my interesting jobs was... besides being an EMT and my time at the hospital, I would say when I was a veterinary assistant. On a sunday morning you will most likely find me... chatting on the computer or playing cards with my kids, if they are awake!

My favorite hobby is... boating, fishing, swimming. My weirdest superstition or paranoia is… putting my hands in my purse or pockets in a store.

the song title that most accurately reflects my life is… “A New Day” by Celine Dion.

the first piece of real estate i bought was... a cute little cape in a development in Swanton.

One thing people are surprised to find out about me is... how much I can lift. My brother tried to get me to be a power lifter!

My favorite lunch place is... at my office with my husband. if i had a private jet i would… fly to see my brother more often.

if i had $10.99 to spend, i would… rent a good movie and get some popcorn!

SEX IN THE SYNOGOGUE I wanted to let you know that the [“Our Whole Lives”] program through the Unitarian Universalist Society is not the only faith-based sexual education program in town [“Just Say Know,” October 17]. “Sacred Choices: Adolescent Relationships and Sexual Ethics” is a program developed by the Union for Reform Judaism and is offered through the Vermont Chai School. The Vermont Chai School is the only high school in the state open to all Jewish teens in grades 8-12. This program addresses all the issues Ken Picard mentions in his piece, but also examines what Jewish texts have to say about human sexuality and the body in an inclusive and nonjudgmental atmosphere. Of the nine classes, six are geared for students, and three are geared for parents. The Vermont Chai School operates out of Temple Sinai and is accepting registration, should any Jewish teen be interested. Judy Alexander BURLINGTON

Alexander is director of the Vermont Chai School. PORN APPALLING If there was any doubt before, 7 Daze has made their view of

women quite clear. The recent full-page American Appalling ads are nothing but porn. How the women who run this paper can do this to us — and themselves — is beyond me. For 12 years, 7 Daze has titillated its readers and exploited women with its sleazy images and doubleentendre-laden headlines. Respect is reserved for men (both main columnists are male) while demeaning treatment is reserved for women (as in Flick “Chick”). It takes zilch imagination to take this approach — just a willingness to go along with the oppressive and hurtful status quo. You could, if you wanted to, 7 Daze, go in a creative new direction (helpful, even!) and stop all your insults toward women. Why don’t you? Lynn McNicol

fact and tone. Mr. Ripley’s was less so. In particular, it implied resentment and criticism of the mayor, which was neither conveyed nor intended by me in the interview. When I informed the mayor of my decision to leave on October 19, he asked whether this was a “positive or negative” departure. I responded that it was a positive one. That was true then, and it is now.

WRITER TONE-DEAF? I was disappointed in your story on my departure [“Opportunity Knocking . . . Elsewhere?” October 24]. I gave the same interview to Sam Hemingway of The Burlington Free Press and Patrick Ripley of Seven Days. Sam’s story was accurate in both

The mayor has decided to postpone expansion of BT into other areas until it has progressed further in Burlington — possibly until it has achieved profitability (projected for the end of 2008). This is a legitimate judgment call, which is his perfect right to make. Many people in Burlington, I am sure, agree with it. I do not. But neither do I resent or criticize him for making it.

»webpage » bite night No, not Halloween — I’m talking about last week’s Seven Nights Bite Club Taste Test. The Bite Club is a group of foodies who comment on local restaurants online at our Seven Nights website. Anyone can join — it’s free. Just register on the Seven Nights website. We started the Bite Club in September, as a way of encouraging our readers to try new and interesting area restaurants. We held our second Bite Club Taste Test event last Wednesday, at Michael’s on the Hill in Waterbury. We could only invite 50 people, so we sent an announcement to all of our Bite Club members, then drew attendees in a lottery. How’d it go? Here are some comments about the evening, from Seven Nights website: 35 minutes from burlington & wortH eVery mile “I attended a Bite Club Taste Test at Michael’s on the Hill and it was excellent. I’m usually a hard-toplease diner, but the cuisine was mostly spot-on, so much so that I stayed for dinner after the event.

Prepared (Hoping?) for Disaster Sometimes I wonder how on earth my name ended up on a given mailing list. One such head-scratcher occurred on Saturday when I received a newsletter from the Survival Food Store. The missive reads: “Be prepaired [sic] when you need it the most, The Survival Food Store now offers long term storage food for times of emergency. Stock up now and be ready when man made or natural disasters strike.” Their specials include “survival kits” such as the “Castaway Pack” and the “Hurricane Pack.” What’s the diff? “Castaway” includes enough food to feed a family of 4 for 21 days, and costs $339.95. “Hurricane,” at a modest $169.95, will last the same number of people for 10 days. Now, my first instinct is that I could keep four people alive that long on less, but would life be worth living without seven-pound cans of butterscotch and vanilla pudding? Probably not.

Headed for a Heartbreak We probably all have them, in one form or another — those little mementos from broken relationships. It could be as cliché as a card or letter, or as odd as an empty shampoo bottle that you keep around to sniff every once in a while to remind you of your lost love. Some of us purge these kinds of things on a regular basis, while some of us have stockpiles of crap just waiting to finally be let go. If you’re looking for a constructive way to get rid of your love evidence, you should check out The Museum of Broken Relationships. Originally started in Croatia by two artists who called it quits, the collection now travels city to city asking residents to donate items along with a short description. So far, the museum has collected more than 300 objects including a wedding dress, fuzzy handcuffs, a coffeepot, a bicycle and more. My favorite is the axe donated by a woman who used it to destroy the furniture of her cheating lover. The description reads: “The more her room filled up with chopped up furniture, the more I started to feel better. Two weeks after she was kicked out she came to take the furniture. It was neatly arranged into small heaps and fragments of wood.” Read more online... Posted October 29 by Mistress Maeve

BURLINGTON — Who would have guessed a patch of blackberries could be the source of so much bitterness? For three years, a small wetland separating a new housing development from a cluster of four berry-friendly residential backyards has been the site of a heated bidding war. On Monday, the last shot was fired at a three-and-a-half-hour meeting at City Hall, but neither side feels that it walked away victorious. The development — Burlington Co-Housing, or “CoHo” — is located on East Avenue between Williston Road and Colchester Avenue. Since 2004, co-housing administrators and several neighbors have bickered over the 15,600square-foot piece of land. Though CoHo is obligated to sell it, neighbors say the group has not been willing to offer a reasonable price. On Monday, the neighbors agreed to buy just over a third — 6000 square feet — of the contested parcel for $20,000. The battle began in 2004, when a landowner named Edith Turner died and distributed a multi-acre estate in her will. Part of the estate was subsequently donated to the University of Vermont’s Centennial Woods conservation area. The rest of it went to the Burlington Community Development Corporation, which would later construct Burlington Co-Housing — a mixed-income, environmentally conscious housing development that’s scheduled to open in the next few weeks. There was one catch, however. From the beginning, CoHo agreed to sell the 15,600-square-foot piece to homeowners who live on adjacent Bilodeau Parkway. Jeanne Keller has lived on the street for 23 years. She initially thought acquiring the strip of land sounded like a great idea and touted the deal in a September 2005 Seven Days article entitled, “It Takes a Neighborhood.” “As part of the project deal, abutting neighbors . . . will buy extensions of our back yards into the former Turner fields. In exchange, we promise to never develop on them. Except, of course, to cultivate vegetables, berries and flowers,” Keller noted. A January 2006 city zoning agreement confirmed Burlington Co-Housing’s obligation to sell. But then negotiations soured. According to Michael Monte, director of Burlington’s Community and Economic Development Office (CEDO), the city’s offer to officiate a joint appraisal process “has not been acceptable to both sides, at different times.” Monte, who has weighed in on the dispute all along, declined to say what he thinks would be a fair price for the contested property. Fast forward to February 2007. Keller and three other neighbors offered, “in the spirit of maintaining and furthering our cooperative efforts,” to purchase about twothirds — 9600 square feet — of the initial property for $20,000. Their five-page proposal based price estimates on comparable local property acquisitions, as well as on the value of the conserved land in adjacent Centennial Woods.

We shook hands. But everyone agreed that we were all unhappy. JEANNE KELLER

CoHo didn’t respond to that offer for eight months. Then, in a two-page letter dated October 7, a co-housing rep offered to sell half the property — 7800 square feet — for $40,000. Though apologizing for a delayed response, the representative called the offer a “gesture of good will,” as opposed to an “obligation.” The “gesture” doubled the price of the land and trimmed off 1800 acres. CoHo’s October proposal gave Bilodeau residents a 30-day window in which to make a final decision. CoHo representatives “don’t understand that they’re supposed to negotiate something reasonable,” charged Keller last week, standing in her backyard garden. Co-Housing project developer Don Schramm disagrees. “I can see that from her point of view, this issue is the most important thing in the world,” he said on Friday, sitting at a plastic table in an unfinished CoHo lobby. “But we also have a lot of other, more serious, things on our plates.” Schramm said he bases his figures on ones provided by Michael Monte during early negotiations. Monte said, however, that those estimates were given within a “what if” context and shouldn’t be considered official. Burlington City Attorney Ken Schatz, who has presided over the property dispute, was away from his office and could not be reached for comment this week. City Councilor Sharon Bushor (I-Ward 1), who has been party to the neighborhood negotiations since 2004, did not return repeated phone and email requests for an interview. But the finger pointing isn’t

confined to the negotiating parties. Schramm also implicated Seven Days. He suggested the newspaper may be paying more attention than it should to Keller’s complaint, pointing out that she is a personal friend of a Seven Days owner and a former contributor to the publication. In recent months, Schramm had visited the Seven Days office several times to pitch a story about the benefits of CoHo life, noting that the development still has units for sale. “If co-housing’s coverage doesn’t look good, I think [Schramm] needs to look at the way he’s treating us,” suggested Keller. “The way that we’re being treated would look bad in any newspaper.” She added that CoHo and CEDO were brought to the bargaining table this Monday, only after Seven Days turned its attention to the conflict. CoHo may have hoped to avoid unflattering press coverage, Keller posited. CEDO’s Monte said, however, “This was an issue that was heating up, regardless.” Schramm, who was absent from the City Hall proceedings Monday, could not be reached after the negotiation was settled. Keller visited the newspaper office just before 5 p.m. that day. “We’ve given up more than half of [our original offer],” she lamented, unfurling a zoning plan on a conference table. “The amount per square foot is . . . just an exorbitant amount of money to pay for land that I wanted to garden on. “We shook hands [with CoHo reps at the meeting],” she recalls. “But everyone agreed that we were all unhappy.” >

Government

State Term-Limit Debate Is Back BY KEVIN J. KELLEY

montPeLIer — the debate over lengthening the two-year terms of vermont’s elected officials never really ends; it just takes a hiatus. the issue has been on the state’s agenda for nearly 40 years. Both houses of the legislature voted in the early 1970s to establish four-year terms for top elected offices — only to see the proposal narrowly defeated in a statewide referendum. And now the perennial controversy is about to be renewed, starting with a showdown in montpelier between former Gov. madeleine Kunin and University of vermont political scientist Frank Bryan. the pro and con arguments are familiar to vermont wonks, who can nonetheless become quite heated in their exchanges, notes Glenn mcrae, director of public policy programs at the Snelling Center for Government. this time around, however, the Burlington-based think tank aims to expand the discussion beyond the political elite by organizing public forums, such as next tuesday evening’s debate in the Capital Plaza Hotel on the topic of “vermont’s two-Year term: Anachronism or a Bastion of Democracy.” Kunin will be taking the anachronism side. “It’s not a mystery why all the states except vermont and new Hampshire have moved to four-year terms,” she says. the issues facing elected officials today are far more complex, Kunin notes, than those of 1870, when vermont last changed its term lengths from one to two years. “vermont prides itself on being different,” the former governor says. “But we have to think about how different we can be in today’s world and still be effective.” State leaders now need more time to formulate and implement policies, Kunin suggests. But with a two-year cycle, governors take office and almost immediately begin worrying about their re-election prospects, she says, adding that this mentality militates against risk-taking. Kunin, 75, recalls that she had to think carefully about potential political liabilities before deciding to push for the Act 200 growth-management law in the 1980s. “When you take risks in office,” she muses, “you need time to recover from those risks.” opponents of four-year terms say: If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Jeanette White, chair of the state senate committee that will consider two new proposals to extend term lengths, cites former Gov. Howard Dean’s shift on the issue. Dean used to believe, like Kunin, that two-year stints encourage decision-making based more on political convenience than policy convictions. But after traveling around the country as chairman of the Democratic national Committee, Dean now sees, White says, that “states with four-year terms don’t have better policies than vermont does.” Besides, adds White, a Windham County Democrat, “It’s the nature of elected office that you’re always running, whether the next vote is two years or four years off.” those who favor longer tenures argue that too much private

money gets invested in candidates under the current election cycle. “We probably spend twice as much on gubernatorial elections as comparable states with four-year terms,” Kunin says. But it’s wrong to assume campaign expenditures would be halved if voting took place half as often, White contends. An election for a four-year governor’s term would raise the stakes — and the spending, White suggests. races for the vermont Legislature, by contrast, are seldom moneyball contests, adds veteran State Sen. William Doyle, who favors keeping lawmakers’ terms at two years. “Campaigns for the [vermont] House and Senate are fairly

that argument, but disagrees with Doyle’s solution. If the governor’s term gets stretched to four years while lawmakers continue serving for half as long, an existing imbalance of power between vermont’s executive and legislative branches would be exacerbated, Condos says. Under such circumstances, the Chittenden County Democrat reasons, a governor would be able to target enemy legislators in election years when his or her own incumbency was not being challenged at the polls. Condos is sponsoring an initiative in the Senate to establish four-year terms for both legislators and constitutional officeholders. A survey conducted last year

brief, and spending on them isn’t out of control,” Doyle observes. Lengthening state representatives’ and senators’ terms of office would undercut the ideal of a citizen legislature, White argues. “It’s not a good idea to ask people to commit to four years when they don’t know what they’re getting into,” she says. White describes the job as “very taxing,” adding, “It doesn’t pay well, either.” She would not have made her first race for the Senate in 2002 if a fouryear term had awaited, White says. But Doyle says these considerations don’t apply in the case of vermont’s top elected leaders. the Washington County republican is urging the Senate to support four-year terms for the governor, lieutenant governor, secretary of state, treasurer, state auditor and attorney general — but not for legislators. Doyle echoes Kunin’s rationale in advocating longer terms for these so-called constitutional offices. “We’re living today in a globalized economy, and the governor needs the ability to make long-range policy,” Doyle says. State Sen. James Condos buys

for the Snelling Center found public support for a four-year gubernatorial term, but little enthusiasm for changing legislators’ two-year terms. the change for the governor’s office was favored by 53 percent of those polled, while only 28 percent wanted to extend lawmakers’ terms. But even if 100 percent of vermonters agreed that elected terms should be lengthened, it wouldn’t happen quickly. Changing the current two-year provisions would mean changing vermont’s Constitution — and that’s a complex, protracted process. Such a proposal must first win support from 20 of the 30 state senators. the suggested amendment then goes to the House for an up-or-down, majority-rules vote. If it survives those tests, the same proposal must be brought back to the legislature in its next biennium for another round of votes. the people would then render the final verdict in a referendum. An amendment lengthening terms of office in vermont would not take effect until 2012 — at the earliest. >

No Dicks Allowed Bike co-op accused of discrimination

Pee and Run? old north end resident’s car soiled

BURLINGTON — When you’ve got to go, you’ve got to go, but there’s a time and a place. In the front seat of someone’s car isn’t it. A presumed vandal who just couldn’t hold it any longer — but didn’t want to get caught with his pants down — broke into a Jeep parked on Monroe Street the night of October 22 and urinated all over the upholstery, according to the husband of the vehicle’s owner. “It was disgusting,” says a pissed-off Cris Prong, who used his own steam cleaner to sop up the mess. He says the vandal also rifled through the glove box and may have made off with 50 cents, at most. While Prong is pretty sure he was cleaning up someone’s urine, he acknowledges that someone may have simply slept in the vehicle overnight. “It was cold that night,” says Prong. “Maybe it was just a really stinky guy . . . Maybe that person will read this and say, ‘Wow, do I really stink that bad?’”

“the coupons are great. I’ve used them all!” — Rob FRIeSel, buRlIngton photo: bobby bruderle

MONTPELIER — The freedom of the open road stops at the front door of a Montpelier-based bike co-op. At least that’s what some of its members think. FreeRide Montpelier, a nonprofit group dedicated to promoting cycling, has come under fire from members who say the decision to discourage “male-bodied, masculine-identifying people” from coming to its 89 Barre Street bike shop on Wednesday evenings during “Women and Trans Night” smacks of discrimination. “I don’t think it’s a really good idea to fight discrimination with discrimination,” says Carl Carlson, a self-described “bike nut” and member of FreeRide. Robin Shapero, a member of FreeRide’s steering committee — which oversees the 70-to-80-member organization — and head mechanic on Women and Trans Night, says it is intended to offer women and transgender people a more comfortable and effective way to learn how to work on bikes. “From what a lot of people have said to me, mechanical skills are very much a male-dominated field,” says Shapero. “A lot of people seem to be intimidated by learning traditionally masculine skills from masculine people. I know I did.” Acknowledging some members’ concerns, Shapero says Women and Trans Night is “inclusive,” not “exclusive,” but adds: “If someone was born male, and considers themselves male, then they should think about coming another night.” Even though men are free to wrench on their bikes at workshops on Monday and Friday evenings, Carlson says that isn’t enough. “I don’t think anybody should be discriminated against at all,” he insists. Allen Gilbert, executive director of the Vermont American Civil Liberties Union, agrees that Women and Trans Night does constitute discrimination, but doesn’t believe FreeRide is doing anything illegal. “A court would probably not see it as discrimination if men could otherwise access the services of the bike shop,” says Gilbert. Shapero says men will not be booted out of Women and Trans Night if they need to drop by for minor repairs, but asks that they keep the appearance brief. “All we really want to be is an open space for everyone,” she says.

About 750 University of Vermont students took to the streets just after midnight Monday morning after the Sox captured their second World Series title in four years. Burlington police say that, in contrast to the riot that occurred after the 2004 championship, this year’s gathering was much more subdued. They did make one arrest for possession of stolen property. UVM student Tyler Horan, 19, was charged after police found him at the intersection of South Prospect and Maple streets holding a crosswalk sign, according to Deputy Police Chief Mike Schirling, a spokesman for the department. The crowd tipped over some garbage cans on Church Street and pulled up some street signs before heading back to campus, but Schirling says some students at the tail end of the group put the items back in place. Police from surrounding departments were put on standby during the incident but were not used, says Schirling. UVM police could not be reached for comment.

Booze Blues Over city grants parima conditional liquor license

BURLINGTON — The City of Burlington and Parima Thai Restaurant co-owner Daryl Campney agreed to play nice last week — just one month after a debate over the city’s decision to pull the restaurant’s liquor license degenerated into allegations of racism, illegal dealings and bullying tactics on the part of City Hall. In a 12-4 vote, Parima was granted a new liquor license at the October 22 City Council meeting. But due to a history of negligent payment of city taxes, conditions apply. In particular, the city will not tolerate any more unpaid bills. If Parima gets behind again, its license will be yanked. “A liquor license is a privilege granted by the city,” said Clarence Davis at last week’s meeting. Davis is chairman of the Local Control Subcommittee, which makes recommendations to the City Council regarding liquor licenses. Noting that the Pearl Street restaurant had paid the city all negligent taxes and fees, he recommended the restaurant be granted a license again. The city pulled Parima’s license and entertainment permit in early September after repeated attempts to collect back taxes went ignored. As of August 24, just 13 days earlier, Treasurer’s Office documents show the restaurant owed $21,556. After losing his license and permit, Campney emailed Seven Days and accused Davis of withholding approval from the restaurant because Campney and Parima co-owner Wanvadi Jotikasthira — his wife — are not black. Davis is the only African-American Burlington councilor. But Campney was not confrontational Monday evening as he asked the council to approve his license. “We have paid every penalty, every fine,” he said. “I have no pleasure in bringing Parima before you again . . . I need your help here.” Assistant City Attorney Nikki Fuller told the council that Parima is currently late on its August tax bill, but the payment has not fallen into negligent status. “You totally understand you are on a very short leash with the city?” City Council President Kurt Wright asked Campney. That is “crystal clear,” he responded. PATRICK RIPLEY

The Price of War: $2.4 Trillion

P

eter Freyne is on vacation this week, so let’s take an irreverent look at politics outside the Green Mountain State. No issue in the country dominates the political landscape like the war in Iraq, and last week policy makers in Washington were stunned by a new revelation: the war’s cost. To be sure, the most important price the nation pays in the ongoing conflict is the human cost. As of this writing, 3385 U.S. troops have made the ultimate sacrifice in Iraq, and more than 27,000 Americans have returned home injured. But the Congressional Budget Office released an estimate on October 24 detailing the war’s escalating tab, and the number is jaw-dropping. Over the next decade, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are expected to cost a total of $2.4 trillion. That’s “trillion,� with a “t,� roughly equivalent to an $8000 bill for every man, woman and child in the United States. For Iraq alone — a conflict that has been nothing short of a disaster — the price tag is $1.9 trillion. The CBO estimate includes an oftoverlooked detail: interest on the national debt. From the outset, the Bush administration has been “charging� these wars on the national credit card, and future generations will be asked to foot the bill. It’s a phenomenon without precedent in American history — the United States has never financed a war with borrowed money. But that’s exactly what’s happening now. Like most of the pre-war expectations presented by the White House, this is a case of the reality versus the rhetoric. In 2003, Bush administration officials told lawmakers that the war in Iraq would likely cost $50 billion. Testifying before Congress the same year, then-Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz delivered a line for which he is now infamous: “We’re dealing with a country that can really finance its own reconstruction, and relatively soon.� Now, with a $2.4 trillion figure on the table, those claims look about as reliable as intelligence reports on Iraq’s alleged weapons of mass destruction. It’s worth noting that the White House disputed the CBO estimate upon its release. One Bush aide said Congress was trying to “artificially inflate warfunding levels.� Asked how much the administration thinks the war is actually costing, the White House budget office refused to say. Congressional Republicans have also been quiet on the issue. When the House Budget Committee held a hearing to discuss the $2.4 trillion price tag, 15 of the 16 GOP lawmakers on the committee didn’t show up. Getting Warmer — Iraq may be the political crisis of the day, but most observers agree that global warming is

the most serious long-term threat facing humanity. Dr. Julie Gerberding, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, testified on the impact of climate change on public health before a Senate panel last week. But the White House edited her testimony before it was delivered. References to potential health risks were removed — one CDC official said Gerberding’s original draft “was evis ceratedâ€? — and details were deleted concerning how many people might be 2x5-Leunigs102407.indd 1 10/19/07 9:33:29 AM adversely affected by increased warming. Reporters asked White House Press Secretary Dana Perino to explain why Gerberding was muzzled. “We have experts and scientists across this administration that can take a look at that testimony and say, ‘This is an error,’ or, ‘This doesn’t make sense,’â€? Perino said. “And X[[h Y^[[i[ so the decision was made on behalf of CDC to focus that testimony on publicfbWjj[h health benefits.â€? house-brewed beers paired That’s not a typo; the White House with vermont artisanal cheeses press secretary said officials wanted the CDC director to testify on why global 9>;9A ?J EKJ warming is good for people. Apparently, Americans are meant to consider the positive aspects of a global environmental crisis.

Family Values — Weird White House science may be the only explanation for the appointment of Dr. Susan Orr — a staunch opponent of birth control — to head the federal government’s family planning office. Running the federal family planning programs at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services is not exactly a high-profile position. But the agency oversees the department’s massive reproductive-health program, including HHS’ Office of Population Affairs, which funds birth control, pregnancy tests, counseling and screenings for sexually transmitted OUTSIDE TRACK >> 16A

diseases and HIV. As Slate’s Amanda Schaffer explains, the head of this office has “extensive power to shape the kinds of information disseminated to millions of women,� and has the authority to “develop new guidelines for clinics, set priorities, and determine how scarce dollars get spent.� That’s precisely why Orr, formerly a professor at TV preacher Pat Robertson’s college in Virginia, is an inexplicable choice. In a previous job, she urged health insurance plans for federal employees to stop covering birth control, because, as she put it, “Fertility is not a disease.� Even more striking, Orr published an article in 2000 referring to contraceptives as being part of a “culture of death.� Several Democratic members of Congress have suggested that Orr may not be the ideal candidate for an office that oversees the government’s family planning programs. Rep. Henry Waxman of California, who chairs the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, issued a statement that read, “I’m no longer surprised by this kind of decision — ideology firmly holds the reins over reproductive health in this White House. But this lack of commitment to comprehensive reproductive health, combined with cramped budgets, is an insult and a disservice to the millions of low-income people who rely on Title X for family planning and preventive health services.� Too bad the position does not require a congressional confirmation vote. For what it’s worth, Orr probably won’t be much worse than her predecessor, Dr. Eric Keroack, who argued that the very distribution of contraceptives is “demeaning to women.� Keroack had a history of saying truly nutty things, such as the belief that condoms “offer virtually no protection� against herpes or HPV. It’s a reminder that for all the high-profile controversial figures the president has picked for key government posts — Donald Rumsfeld, Alberto Gonzales, Michael “Heckuva Job� Brown — there are many equally scary low-profile ones that you never hear about. Swallowing the Whopper? — Looking ahead to the next presidential administration, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani is a leading Republican contender. But he’s developed a nasty habit that may undermine his White House chances: Giuliani has become a serial exaggerator. Voters will probably recall that Al Gore was called on his hyperbole habit in the 2000 campaign. The media criticism

didn’t hold up, but that didn’t stop news outlets from routinely insisting he was given to exaggerating his accomplishments, such as a claim that he “invented the Internet.� Calling the former vice president’s credibility into question did not help his campaign. Giuliani looks to be headed down the same road to ruin. It started in earnest over the summer, when Giuliani said at a press conference that he was at Ground Zero in the wake of the 9/11 attacks “as often, if not more� than the rescue, recovery and cleanup workers who spent a year sifting through human remains and rubble. The New York Times checked Giuliani’s 2001 schedule and found that he actually spent about 10 hours a month bringing celebrities and dignitaries to Ground Zero. Contrast that with rescue workers and cleanup crews, who put in about 400 grueling hours at the site. The former mayor was just getting started. He claims to have been “studying Islamic terrorism for 30 years,� which proved to be a wild exaggeration. He purported to have cut taxes 23 times in New York City, including tax cuts that he opposed. Giuliani claimed in a radio commercial that he produced “a multibillion dollar surplus� for New York, without noting that it was an inflated figure — he actually left office with huge budget deficits. He claimed that adoptions went up in New York City under his tenure “65 to 70 percent,� but the actual number was 17 percent — and the number of adoptions dropped in each of the last six years Giuliani was in office. Have these little white lies caught the attention of the mainstream media? Not yet. Washington Post political reporter Lois Romano was recently asked during an online forum, “If Al Gore can be painted as a serial liar and exaggerator by the media for things he didn’t actually say, why has Giuliani so far gotten a pass on the lies he’s actually spouting publicly?� Romano responded, “He hasn’t been really challenged on every word yet. That will come.� Something to look forward to . . . Social Insecurity — Social Security reform may not be the sexiest campaign issue, but candidates from both parties are going to be quizzed on it over the next year. After the Bush plan was roundly rejected a couple of years ago, most political observers assumed that presidential hopefuls would go in a very different direction. As it turns out, that assumption was wrong.

SEVEN DAYS | october 31-november 07, 2007 | track 17A

First, a quick refresher. Bush went into his second term, in 2005, looking at friendly Republican majorities in both chambers of Congress. With an approval rating of more than 50 percent, he decided to use his “political capital� to kick off a campaign to privatize Social Security. The more Americans heard about the plan, the more they hated it. After a few months of watching Bush barnstorm the nation in hopes of selling his idea, Americans were less supportive of his handling of Social Security than of his handling of the Iraq war. The 2x4-Minnies101707.indd 1 10/16/07 president’s poll numbers collapsed and never recovered. It was, by some measures, Bush’s jump-the-shark moment. Even the most sycophantic of Republicans realized that Bush’s Social Security policy 2x5-OnionRiverSports103107.indd 1 10/29/07 9:19:05 AM 2x1-grannis103107.indd 1 10/29/07 was poison to be avoided at all costs. Given the public’s response, a candidate would have to be crazy to embrace a plan the vast majority of Americans hated. Tell that to the GOP’s current crop of presidential aspirants. At the most recent debate, Fox News’ Brit in person: 153 Main St., Burlington or Essex Copy Ship Fax Plus Hume asked the candidates by phone: 802-86-FLYNN, v/relay on line: www.flynntix.org how they would address the fiscal challenges facing the JUST ANNOUNCED AND ON SALE NOW: Social Security system.

THUGS GONE WILD While reading Ms. Potter’s letter [October 3], I was reminded 2x4-TempleSinai103107.indd 1 10/26/07 11:20:34 AM of my own dissatisfaction and confusion with the Burlington Police Department. In September 2001, my lady friend and I were driving home to South Burlington from downtown on South Winooski Street, when a car ran a fourway stop sign in front of us. Sunday November 4th, 10:30am-2pm I hit my brakes, and then my at the exclusive Vermont National Country Club horn, to alert the other driver, Tickets only $21.95 before proceeding through - Gourmet Brunch: By reservation only! the intersection.

My friend and I froze for Portion of proceeds to benefit the MAKE A WISH FOUNDATION... about 20 seconds, desperately locking our doors. I attempted to back up, but another car had stopped behind mine. I hit the 2x5-needlemans102407.indd 1 10/22/07 11:40:57 AM horn again and motioned to them to back up so we could get away from this madman, which they did. I then pulled around the car and kept going, noting the license plate number. The other car followed us for two or three blocks and then turned. My friend was crying. I had to E E ** FR s! pull over and calm myself twice M during the rest of our short drive AT home. The moment we walked in the door I called BPD and reported what had just happened. The BPD asked Earn Bonus Rates Earn Base Rate me to come in and fill out paperwork the next morning, which I did.

of trouble for accosting strangers in supermarkets and on the street, and that if this were a big city, this guy would have ended up in a dumpster a long time ago. I thought to myself, Well, that’s great. But where does that leave my case now? I asked the sergeant what would happen next. How do I press charges? He said he would let me know. It’s been six years since that hellish experience. I’m 48 years old. I believe in the right of citizens to feel safe in our homes, on our streets and in our vehicles. I believe that if a fellow citizen steps out of line, it’s in the interest of the entire community to make sure that person is charged, rehabilitated, or removed from a place where he or she can endanger other people’s lives and safety. I’m still waiting to hear from the police about my case. Ero Lippold SOUTH BURLINGTON

GOING GLOBAL I want to clarify something for the record. In Peter Freyne’s “Inside Track� [October 17], he writes about Senator Vince Illuzzi’s recent visit to Taiwan. Peter mentions that Senator Illuzzi was part of a New England legislative delegation sponsored by the Vermont Chamber of Commerce. Yes, Senator Illuzzi was part of a New England delegation, but no, the trip was not sponsored by the Vermont Chamber of Commerce. However, the confusion is understandable. The Vermont Chamber of Commerce has been helping Vermont companies do business in Taiwan since 1993. With the assistance of Senator Jim Jeffords on our inaugural mission, the Vermont Chamber has cultivated relationships with Taiwanese counterparts, while promoting Vermont through numerous trade shows and other outreach methods. In 2004, we expanded our program to include mainland China. We also assist Vermont companies looking to navigate the oftenconfusing Chinese business landscape. The delegation that Senator Illuzzi was part of has become an annual mission organized by the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Boston, and hosted by the Taiwanese government. Legislative leaders from all over New England take part, and a number of other Vermont legislators have represented Vermont over the years. Good for Senator Illuzzi for representing Vermont this year. I am pleased to see our legislative leaders continue to learn about international trade and its importance to Vermont. Yes, Taiwan is Vermont’s number-two export destination, and mainland China (number seven), when combined with Hong Kong exports (number five), would actually take

over the number-two spot (according to 2006 figures). International trade is alive and well in Vermont, and Vermont ranks number one in exports per capita. It is a critical part of Vermont’s economic future, and programs like the Vermont Global Trade Partnership, the U.S. Department of Commerce Export Assistance Center, the Vermont Chamber of Commerce and others all work hard to help Vermont companies succeed overseas. Curtis Picard MONTPELIER

Picard is vice-president of international trade for the Vermont Chamber of Commerce. GREEN MOUNTAIN MONEY PIT Does anyone really believe our legislature can do as well with health-care spending as they’ve done with keeping education costs down? I do. In fact, I see a nasty trend developing that will match their previous efforts. First, you must disregard the stated goals of each and look for the true hidden agendas. The actual intent is to keep cost increases well above any rise in income. Why? Because the state needs to grow both industries as a means to replace lost manufacturing jobs, while continuing to feed our everincreasing higher education costs. The state also wants to remove as much control and choice from the voter as possible. The state removed local control for education on “quality issues� because towns were voting down excessive school budget increases. Now the legislature is beginning to ram health-care taxation down our throats. The Catamount Health Plan, which actually stated that it had a side benefit of growing the industry, is already in trouble for relying on federal funding that was not fully approved. “Oh, well, it’s too late now because we’ve already set the program up,� the state says. Not only do they have millions in shortfalls from the feds, we are still mandated to cover the $800,000 shortfall allowed by the small business loophole. Telling the truth and being fiscally responsible is obviously not good strategy for re-election. Bipartisan legislation, popular consensus, social responsibility and compromise are terms quickly becoming synonymous with fiscal suicide. Is Montpelier part of the real world?

The groom and his attendants wore pirate garb. The bride and her “maids and matron of horror” were Goth princesses in satin bustiers. Sound like a lost number from Rocky Horror? Nope, it was the wedding of Winooski couple Michael Molino and Sara Robedee, which took place last Saturday at Merrill’s Roxy Cinemas in Burlington. As about 20 guests — all in costume — filed into the biggest theater at 11 a.m., they received favors — concession-stand-style popcorn containers full of caramel corn and fake spiders, hand-lettered with the names of the bride and groom. A skeleton toted a baby carrier, while a Man in Black cast furtive glances around the room. When everyone was seated, the lights went down and blackand-white images flickered on the screen. As sinister music played, a dark, sinuous creature prowled the environs of a castle straight out of a Vincent Price movie. (Closer inspection revealed the monster to be a fish in an aquarium.) “THE WEDDING,” a caption announced. Molino and Robedee love the aesthetic of horror movies — and clearly, they’re not alone. (Later the same day, Burlington’s annual Zombie Walk attracted a big crowd of shambling brain eaters — and giggling, appreciative spectators.) But the short film that opened the couple’s ceremony wasn’t horrifying at all. Crafted with help from Vermont Community Access Media, it was a gently comic account of their relationship, complete with re-enactments of the awkward first date and the smoother second one, when the pair fell into philosophical conversation at Dobrá Tea. “That’s when I

The film ended on a still of a Gothic cathedral’s interior, which stayed on the screen as the lights went up. Minister Roddy O’Neil Cleary took the stage, wearing a cat’s-eye mask. She removed it to perform her duties, saying, “This is a first for many of you, I’m sure.” Cleary summoned the spirit of love — “this is the time of the spirits,” she pointed out — and asked the parents of Robedee and Molino to stand and affirm their support for the union.

They did — the groom’s folks in Roaring ’20s gear, the bride’s looking like tattered gypsy folk. “I love what you are doing,” Cleary enthused, as the couple stood before her, “the way you are joining the sacred and the secular. Seeing you on the screen, you both look like stars.” It was awfully rosy rhetoric for a gathering that featured so many ghouls. But as Robedee and Molino recited their pledges of mutual love and support, the emotion in their voices was as real as it gets. >

“Urban Renewal” Film Is Window into Lost Burlington BY MIKE IVES

Last week, the Orton Family Foundation of Middlebury and a Colorado partner organization put on a sustainability conference, called “COMMUNITYMATTERS07,” at Burlington’s Lake and College Building. Though it had an unneighborly $450 registration fee, the green gala offered a few events to the public. One of them, a communityoriented “mini-film series,” took place on Tuesday evening at the Waterfront Theatre. The three-

rector Patrick Farrington, documents a controversial building craze that swept Burlington in the 1950s and ’60s. Itching for funding from the feds, city planners agreed to raze a working-class section of downtown Burlington to make room for office buildings and condominiums. “A lot of those homes that they destroyed could have been restored,” notes one elderly woman at film’s end, reflecting back on the project. “You know what I say? They paved par-

I had no idea the impact this short film would have on the community. PATRICK FARRINGTON hour affair, which attracted about 25 viewers, featured four documentary films on such hot topics as sprawl, local food systems and vanishing mountain villagers. One of them, “The Champlain Street Urban Renewal Project,” offered an astonishing view of a neighborhood that once was.

adise and made it a parking lot.” Though a little rough around the edges, the documentary is a surprisingly moving piece of investigative reporting, alternating between archival footage and contemporary interviews with disgruntled former residents. Farrington attended Tuesday’s screening. During a follow-up Q&A session, audience members

bombarded him with the usual inquiries about inspiration and creative process. Farrington explained that he found out about the project from his mother, whose childhood home was replaced by the Chittenden Bank. The director, a local freelance producer who normally does “corporate stuff,” says he never expected such a strong reaction from the Burlington community. The film drew a packed, emotionally charged audience in 2004 at the Firehouse Gallery, and it’s now shown every year at Burlington College. To accommodate persistent requests for DVD copies, Farrington’s brother began selling copies of the film on his website, www.crookedroot.com. “I had no idea the impact this short film would have on the community,” Farrington says. “My goal with it was to just make a documentary — to see if I could tell a story.” Is the film available at downtown stores? Hard to say. “Borders,” Farrington says with a laugh, “just doesn’t call me when it runs out.” >

For Cristine Cambrea, a self-described “visionary surreal artist,� 2007 is proving to be a breakout year. Buyers snapped up all 18 of her pieces in a six-week solo show in Manhattan’s ultra-hip Meatpacking District. At Artexpo New York, Cambrea’s work attracted interest from 15 galleries in cities as far-flung as Santa Fe and Seoul. And with help from her husband/ business manager Drew Stone, the 32-year-old painter opened a gallery space of her own this summer in Burlington’s South End. Next year will probably be even more momentous for the mediagenic, raven-haired Cambrea, who wears a diamond stud between her nose and right cheek. A few of her artworks will likely appear in “Lipstick Jungle,� a forthcoming NBC “dramedy� based on a novel by Sex in the City author

appeals to New Age audiences and to that segment of the art market ravenous for originality. Cambrea had also built a fan base on the Internet prior to debuting in the material art world. She started selling her pieces on eBay in the late ’90s while running a store in Montpelier stocked with crafts from Africa and Asia. Cambrea acknowledges the influence of Austrian artists Gustav Klimt (1862-1918) and Friedensreich Hundertwasser (1928-2000), especially the latter, but her acrylic compositions seem to have wafted onto canvas and pine or maple panels from some private dreamland. A professor at the New Paltz branch of the State University of New York recognized years ago that Cambrea had a unique style that ought to be cultivated on its own terms. At the end of

Viewers who don’t know the artist might assume she’s an “outsider.â€? Her paintings do show some similarities to the intricate and naĂŻve-style works produced by self-taught artists who dwell outside the societal and art-world mainstream, often in mental institutions. But Cambrea rejects the association in the course of an articulate analysis of Outsider Art, which, she suggests, has more to do with individual biographies than with aesthetics. Besides, she adds, “I haven’t been out of the world.â€? She has, in fact, been very much in it. Cambrea and Stone describe themselves as “road warriorsâ€? whose

Âťvignettes This Saturday, November 3, writer Eli Clare will read from his collection of poetry and short prose, The Marrow’s Telling, at Burlington’s Studio STK, at 4 p.m. Published by Homofactus Press, a small press focused on work by female-to-male transsexuals, the book tells a harrowing life story, taking the poet in stutter-steps from childhood abuse to adult activism. Clare’s language grounds itself in vibrant evocations of the natural landscape. In a prose piece called “Gaping, Gawking, Staring,â€? he demonstrates what he’s learned about people’s reactions to “differenceâ€? and disability from a lifetime with cerebral palsy. But he offers advice to those who’ve suffered for such differences: “Resist the urge to ignore your body.â€? MARGOT HARRISON

But this time the couple is adding some vini to the culture. Accordingly, they’ll be serving wine at a grand opening on Saturday, November 3, at 5 p.m. (And no, Ribbon-Cutter-in-Chief Jim Douglas was not invited to do the honors.) The downside is, the drinks are no longer free, Ă la gallery openings. “Now that we have a liquor license, we have to sell it,â€? notes Reiner. At the opening, Vermont poet Daniel Lusk will recite a poem he wrote to commemorate the new bookshop. Sweet Clover Market, the organic market in Essex, will cater. PAMELA POLSTON

Curses, Foiled Again Hoping to

avoid ground-level alarms, burglars decided to cut through a roof to enter a business in Des Moines, Iowa. Instead, they wound up on the sidewalk outside. “They forgot to take into account the overhang,” said Rich Bartlett, owner of Southside Tobacco & Liquor. The burglars apparently tried to cut a second hole, only to be spotted by a woman walking her dog who told them to get down. They did, right in front of a security camera. Police easily identified Zagory Harris, 17, and Taylor Kraus, 15, as the culprits. “They have a hell of a good camera at that store,” Detective Ron Foster commented to the Des Moines Register. “Very clear pictures.” • Sheriff’s Deputy Dave Wagner was at the Marion County Jail in Salem, Ore., when

Any heavier than 220 pounds are handled by the new ambulances, which weigh 3300 pounds more than regular ambulances and have special lifts to hoist patients. • British maker of fire and rescue equipment introduced a 392-pound training dummy to help emergency services cope with the growing number of obese people they have to rescue.

Nassau County police Sgt.

Charles “Keith” Teer, 49, collapsed and died moments later, but the Gwinnett County Medical Examiner’s Office ruled Teer died from a heart attack, not the head-butt. “The whole thing is just bizarre,” police Chief Roy Whitehead said. “The only way it could get more bizarre is if it was on Jerry Springer.”

our government, our private industries and our universities as sources of this material,” Assistant Attorney General Kenneth L. Wainstein told reporters, pointing out that globalization and the Internet have facilitated some illegal exports. • A recent probe by the Government Accountability Office uncovered that the Pentagon cannot account for $19.2 billion worth of equipment provided to Iraqi security forces. The July 2007 report said the equipment includes “about 110,000 AK-47 rifles, 90,000 pistols, 80 items of body armor and 115,000 helmets.”

Inconvenient Truth Researchers at the Norwegian University of Life Sciences reported that a grown moose belches out methane gas equivalent to 4630 pounds of carbon dioxide a year. That, according to Scandinavian Airlines, is more than twice the amount of carbon dioxide emitted on a round-trip flight from Oslo to Santiago, Chile.

all worthwhile human knowledge

I can’t really blame you for not buying this one, Kirk. Off the bat, the notion that ultraviolet radiation is worse on cloudy days sounds a lot like one of those truly moronic bits of “counterintuitive” folk wisdom that often catch on (see, e.g., cold water boils faster than hot). And what with Japan being home to some very serious devotees of neo-Victorian fashion (the curious can go search “gothic lolita”), a reasonably skeptical gaijin like yourself might well dismiss the UV scare story as an excuse for the less committed to join in the dressup fun. But guess what? It’s for real. From the top: The ultraviolet rays that reach the Earth’s surface come in two basic varieties, the more prevalent UV-A and the more potent UV-B. While each seemingly plays a role in skin cancer and eye damage, it’s UV-B that both helps the body produce vitamin D and causes sunburn; its intensity varies widely with time of day, time of year and latitude. (Being closer to noon, summer or the equator all = more.) Clouds usually block UV rays, particularly UV-B; on a really overcast day they can keep out 70 to 90 percent of the UV-B coming in. Maddeningly enough, though, that’s not where it ends. Under partly cloudy conditions a phenomenon sometimes called the “broken-cloud effect” can come into play, resulting in higher UV levels than a clear sky would produce, and so a greater risk of sunburn, or worse. A survey conducted at six U.S. sites in 1994 found that cumulus clouds could raise surface UV-B measurements by 25 percent, and in 2004 Australian researchers reported that the specific UV-B frequencies associated with DNA damage were up to 40 percent stronger under somewhat cloudy skies. Why does this happen? Scientists aren’t positive, but there seem to be two key mechanisms here: (1) UV rays bouncing off the sides of dense clouds, and (2) rays getting redirected as they pass through wispier clouds. Conceivably (as an American Scientist article suggested last year), a combination of thin refracting clouds up high and puffy reflecting clouds down low could result in a major UV boost at ground level. Throw in an aggravating factor or two — say, a blanket of snow to knock the rays around some more — and you’re on the bullet train to sunburn city. Also at work is another insidious effect involving

Dear Cecil, Here in Japan, muggy summer marks the annual appearance of parasols, long gloves and enormous hats, all to protect against dreaded UV rays. Yet, rather surprisingly, I see more of this on cloudy days than on sunny days. When I asked a friend why, she said it was because UV rays are more powerful on cloudy or hazy days and because people were duped by Mother Nature into believing that dark skies equals less UV exposure. Are clouds really UV magnifying glasses? Or do the Japanese need one fewer old wives’ tale? Kirk Andersen, Kyoto

haze. Both natural haze and the kind resulting from pollution have a redistributing effect on solar radiation: while they can block UV-B from reaching the Earth directly (sometimes reducing overall levels 50 percent or more), they also scatter it all over the place, in effect turning the entire sky into a radiation source. Standing in the open on a hazy day, you may get less UV-B than if the sky were clear (on the other hand, you may not), but over in the shade, haze means you’ll get lots more — an ominous thought for those dwelling in the smoggier parts of the world. And compounding it all is the problem your friend mentioned, namely, that generally people are less likely to take precautions against sun when it’s cloudy, leaving themselves wide open to any UV-amplifying consequences. Crying over spilt milk is lousy public health policy, of course, but it’s hard not to feel a little nostalgic for the days when we had a first-rate ozone layer. Ozone is crucial in blocking solar UV-B, hence the widespread dismay on discovering we’d put a big dent in our atmospheric supply. Most authorities agree that ozone depletion has leveled off following decades of fluorocarbon bans, but it’ll still take 50 years for the layer to mend — so expect more parasol weather ahead. And while we’re all here: Some will occasionally claim that since the moon reflects UV radiation, staying out too long when it’s full can get you a case of “moonburn.” In medical parlance, these people are known as half-wits. The moon’s only 0.0002 percent as bright as the sun and reflects UV light only about half as well as it does visible light; thus, eight hours of top-strength moonlight delivers less UV-B than a second of sun.

he two girls chatting in the back of my cab were going to St. Michael’s College. Though UVM has more than double the enrollment, we local cabbies probably drive more St. Mike’s students, and this has been true for a while. The reason is the free UVM bus, instituted about two years ago, which makes a circuit between downtown and the UVM dorms throughout the evening hours. This dastardly, big fat student scooper has eliminated 90 percent of our UVM fares. Not that I’m bitter or anything. “So what dorm are we living in this year?� I spoke over my right shoulder as the cab climbed the Main Street hill. The girl on the right side said, “We’re freshmen. We’re living in Lyons.� She was fresh-faced with straight red hair. I took notice of her blue down jacket, a sure sign of autumn in Vermont. “Lyons it is,� I said. “And that’s no longer women only, do I got that right?�

For her, this represents her inner beauty. So, like you said, this will be something that could always have meaning for her, even when she gets, like, old.� As we exited the highway onto Route 15, I thought about these two friends, Rosa and Caitlin. I got the sense that they had just met as freshmen, newly emancipated and on their own. What an amazing time of life: You’re not a child any longer, but not quite an adult. It’s a period of transition fraught with challenges and thrilling opportunity. Forged at an age when a young person is discovering who they are apart from the influence of family and community, these college relationships often develop into some of the deepest lifelong bonds. These two could very well be sitting in a living room when they’re both 60 — if houses still come with those in the year 2050 — reminiscing and admiring each other’s fading tattoos.

these two could very well be sitting in a living room when they’re both 60 — if houses still come with living rooms in the year 2050 — reminiscing and admiring each other’s fading tattoos. “Yup, that’s right,� the other girl replied and began to chuckle. Like her friend, she was bright-eyed and bubbly. It’s great to be 18. “I guess it went co-ed a couple years ago. We girls in Lyons now have to live with all kinds of nasty boys.� “Well, I guess you might as well get used to it,� I commiserated, chuckling along. “Isn’t it awesome, Rosa?� the redhead said, turning to face her friend. “It doesn’t even hurt that much.� She reached up to gently rub what must have been a newly installed nose ring, a small, glistening stud. “Yeah, it does look great, Caitlin,� Rosa said. “Wait till you tell your sisters.� “Where’d you have it done?� I asked. “At Yankee Tattoo?� “Nope, I went to Body Art, the place up on Main Street.

They can look great, but you gotta think about how you’re going to feel about it when you’re, like, 60.

For myriad reasons, from fear of deportation to lack of transportation, the Middlebury clinic may be their only health-care option. Last year, the staff treated 37 Hispanic patients — up from zero in 2001. A cross-section of the low-income community finds its way to Open Door on a recent October evening.

But he’s not here for professional development. “If it’s a slow night, I’ll just stay and chat with the migrant workers,� he reflects. “I’ll see how they got here, where their families are from . . . That’s one of the nice things about the clinic — that I can get to know them.� Tonight, in fact, happens to be pretty slow. For a portion of the evening, the student waits patiently behind the front desk. Then a fit-looking Mexican farm worker in a denim jacket and white sneakers enters with his boss, a local dairy farmer. Livermore rises to shake the man’s hand. They walk together to a back office, where the student helps “Carlos� receive advice about joint pain. After the consultation, Carlos, 39, agrees to chat with a reporter. Originally from the state of Tabasco in southeastern Mexico, he’s been living in Vermont on and off for four years. His two sons, 21 and 19, now work alongside him. “This is a good service,� he asserts, speaking in

Although its system is far from perfect, Vermont ranks among the top five states in the country for state-subsidized health-care coverage, according to current figures from the federal Department of Health and Human Services. The state’s 18year-old “Dr. Dynasaur� program — which is being threatened by the Bush administration — covers children at or below 300 percent of the federal poverty line. This week, Vermont doctors and nurses will start dishing out care through Catamount Health, a statewide program that aims to serve uninsured Vermonters who don’t qualify for Medicaid. And earlier this month, Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders helped to pass a landmark federal appropriation that will greatly benefit Vermont’s existing network of community health centers. The nine clinics that comprise Vermont Coalition of Clinics for the Uninsured don’t receive the same federal funds that community health centers do, but they appear to be an increasingly crucial component of the state’s health-care infrastructure — they’re a low-lying safety net. Over the last seven years, VCCU has almost doubled coverage, serving close to 5000 patients in 2006 with a

Getting to the clinic, however, can be a challenge for patients who don’t have wheels. Addison County Transit Resources has been facilitating travel to and from Middlebury, Bristol, Vergennes and surrounding areas since 1992, but Hedley reports that only about one in 10 get to the clinic via ACTR shuttles. And even with good transportation services, one night a week represents a small window of opportunity. “One of the hard things is that we appear to function as a doctor’s office, but we don’t,” Hedley observes.

a lot of workers who don’t receive services,” he declares, heading out to the parking lot. “I’m lucky that I have a good boss.” The greater Middlebury community is doing its part, too. Open Door now receives support and donations from a host of area businesses and churches. So far this year, volunteers and translators have contributed almost 1000 service hours. And Dabbs is making efforts to drum up interest through three separate state agriculture organizations and the University of Vermont’s Nurse Practitioner Program.

“If you come here on Tuesday, but on Wednesday you develop symptoms of strep throat, we can’t help you until next Tuesday.” Other problems are more systemic. Dabbs hints, for example, that some migrant workers don’t want to call attention to themselves by traveling into town. That’s worrisome, considering about 90 percent of the migrant workers he deals with aren’t up to date on immunization for tetanus — a disease that causes death or functional disabilities, with an average per-case treatment cost of $84,000. According to the Vermont Department of Health, there have been two documented cases of tetanus in Vermont since 1992. Carlos, who says he never goes into Middlebury for pleasure, reports that none of the Mexican workers he knows are properly immunized. “There are

The state health department is in the process of expanding its “Vaccines for Adults” program to include VCCU patients. Dabbs is also hitting the streets. In the last two months, he and a group of volunteers have offered three mobile health-screening clinics. The first, which was held at a local farm, drew 55 farm owners, workers and family members. The other two took place at a local church and attracted a combined 40 Spanish-speaking migrant laborers. “We’re trying to get the word out,” Dabbs says. “We haven’t been 100 percent successful,” he admits, “but we’re working very diligently, because we do want everyone to know. There’s no reason for someone to end up in the emergency room if they can come see us.” �

PAUL CILLO

Big Picture Politics Vermont’s newest think tank — Public Assets Institute — does the state’s math homework

by Ken Picard

Paul Cillo is offering chocolate kisses

to anyone who can answer a few basic questions about the state budget process. “When does Vermont’s fiscal year begin and end?” he asks from the head of a large conference table in the Capitol Plaza Hotel in Montpelier. “July 1 and June 30,” shouts one of the 30 or so people in attendance. Cillo tosses a chunk of chocolate across the table. “And where does the budget originate?” he asks the audience of housing experts, child-welfare advocates and other professionals in the public and nonprofit sectors, who are convened for a daylong conference titled “Choices for Vermont: Creating a Better Future for All Our Children.”

The point of Cillo’s exercise isn’t to expose the collective ignorance of the people seated around the table, many of whom spend much of the year lobbying the Vermont Legislature. Cillo, who is executive director of Vermont’s newest public-policy think tank, Public Assets Institute, is highlighting a fundamental flaw in the democratic process: Namely, that it’s very hard for even the most informed and well-intentioned Vermonters to access vital information about how public money is gathered and spent. In fact, many seemingly simple questions about state finances cannot be answered quickly or easily, even by the experts. He tells a story about Steve Klein, director of the nonpartisan Joint Fiscal Office. JFO staffers are the legislature’s official number crunchers

We spend $4 billion a year, and those choices really express our state’s priorities. Our challenge is, how do you sift through this ton of information and make sense of it?

PAUL CILLO, PUBLIC ASSETS INSTITUTE

“The governor’s office,” someone else bellows. Another piece of candy sails across the room. The questions get progressively harder. “What’s the single largest source of funding for state government?” The room falls quiet for a moment until someone guesses correctly: “the federal government.” Cillo launches another foil-wrapped sweet. “And when is the first opportunity for the public to weigh in on the budget process?” There’s a long pause before someone explains that it’s only after the governor presents his proposed budget to the legislature in January. But even that answer evokes several caveats and “yeah, buts . . .”

on all budget and revenue matters. Recently, Klein got a phone call from a reporter at a national money magazine, who asked: What was Vermont’s budget growth over last year? The reporter got angry when Klein couldn’t give him a brief, sound-bite answer. But, as Cillo explains, Klein wasn’t being cagey or evasive. The fact is, there’s not a single, widely agreed-upon definition of what constitutes “budget growth.” Or, consider the fact that Uncle Sam is the single largest contributor to Vermont’s coffers, funding about 32 percent of all state >> 34A

services annually, according to Cillo. One would assume there’s a spreadsheet or web page out there that accounts, line by line, where all that money comes from and where it goes. At the state level, that document is called a “sources and uses” sheet. Surprisingly, no such document exists for federal money flowing into Vermont. Is the data out there and available? Yes, Cillo says. But is it readily accessible to the public in a simple, standardized and easy-to-use format? Nope. The problem, Cillo asserts, isn’t that government officials are lazy, incompetent or conspiring in smoky boardrooms to keep Vermonters in the dark. The reality, he says, is that there’s neither a mindset nor a process in state government that invites public participation in the budget-making process. “The question I would ask is, is there another way?” Cillo believes there is. He founded Public Assets Institute in

“I don’t want to say that the other side is lying, but it is all about telling the truth,” notes Hal Cohen, executive director of the Central Vermont Community Action Council, an antipoverty agency that serves Orange, Lamoille and Washington counties. “One of the things we realize is that fiscal analysis has as much to do with what questions you ask as it has to do with the numbers themselves.” CVCAC is one of several nonprofit groups in Vermont that have begun turning to PAI to ask the tough questions, even when those questions are not politically convenient. For example, several years ago Cillo discovered a little-known provision in state law that required the transfer of money from the general fund to the education fund to grow at the same rate as the general fund itself. For instance, if the general fund grew at a rate of 6 percent, the transfer of money to the education fund was also supposed to grow at 6 percent.

It’s good to have somebody besides John McClaughry analyzing things . . . SEN. DOUG RACINE 2003 in an effort to provide lawmakers, journalists, public advocates and average citizens with “sound, timely and understandable analyses” of state budget and revenue matters. Though PAI describes itself as an independent, nonpartisan and nonprofit group whose mission is to keep the public informed about how government spends money, its values seem decidedly small “p” progressive. Its goal is to “promote public policies that improve the wellbeing of all citizens, especially the most vulnerable.” The bulk of its funding to date has come from the Annie E. Casey Foundation. PAI has been around for four years, but has only recently begun to raise its public profile with conferences, reports and regular email newsletters on various fiscal and budget policy topics. Until last year, the “Institute” was just a part-time, one-person operation. But Cillo is fast becoming the “go-to” guy for independent tax and budget analyses. This is especially true whenever Governor Jim Douglas makes claims about Vermont’s tax burden or its unfavorable business climate that go unchallenged by his political opponents or the press. 3x10-ChamplainCollege102407.indd1 1

However, when Cillo examined the numbers, he found that the transfer was only growing at a rate of 4 percent, leaving a $25 million shortfall in the education fund. “That year, the governor was campaigning on affordability and lowering property taxes. Meanwhile, he signs a bill that shortchanges the education fund and raises property taxes,” Cillo asserts. “Who’s thinking about that and pointing that out? Nobody.” Cillo’s goal wasn’t to embarrass the governor; in fact, the education fund shortfall was just as awkward for Democratic lawmakers, who had to make up that shortfall in the general fund as well. Instead, PAI is positioning itself as a truly independent fiscal watchdog, whose work is especially valuable for small nonprofit groups that don’t have the time, money or expertise to do their own heavy lifting. “We spend $4 billion a year, and those choices really express our state’s priorities,” Cillo says. “Our challenge is, how do you sift through this ton of information and make sense of it?” For most Vermonters, the thought of sifting through reams of state budget figures is about as desirable as a root canal, and much

more costly. Few Vermonters have either the time or know-how to make sense of all that raw data. But for nonprofit organizations that depend upon state funding for their existence, understanding how money gets allocated can An UnpArAlleled gAthering mean the difference between servof internAtionAl presenters ing their clients and closing their doors. “In my world, in the world of human services, we’re not always good with numbers and understanding budgets,” admits Rep. Ann Pugh (D-South Burlington), who’s also a senior lecturer in the Department of Social Work at the University of Vermont. “The work that Paul is doing is very helpful . . . So much of what we talk about [as lawmakers] can get lost in jargon or in the assumption that everyone knows the minutiae.” Much of Cillo’s expertise in the “minutiae” of state fiscal matters comes from personal experience — a Castleton native, he spent 10 years in the Vermont House of Representatives; four years on the 2x5-earthspirit103107.indd 1 10/23/07 House Ways and Means Committee and another four as majority leader. In the mid-1990s, Cillo was the chief architect of Act 60, the law that restructured how public education is funded in Vermont. He lost his bid for reelection in 1998. One of Cillo’s complaints about his time in the legislature is that he never really got an opportunity to do serious, longrange planning. “It was always about putting out fires,” he says. “One of the things I could see from inside the building was that it’s very easy for the legislature to get off on some tangent that’s completely disconnected from the reality of Vermonters.” Part of the problem, Cillo says, is that no one — not lawmakers, not the governor, not even public advocates or the press — have the time to step back and look at the big picture. Each state agency and department worries about its own budget; each publicly funded organization and program tries to ensure that its line item doesn’t get axed. For his part, Cillo is trying to step back and study that sprawling landscape. For instance, he analyzed 15 years of budget trends in Vermont and found that funding for education has been steadily declining, spending on security and public safety has been steadily rising, and the state is increasingly dependent upon federal money and one-time special funds to make ends meet. Cillo is also interested in challenging certain prevailing views that, in his estimation, have no basis in fact. For instance, when the governor came out last year and said that Vermonters are saddled with one of the heaviest tax burdens in the nation, Cillo and Burlington economist Doug Hoffer put out a report showing that, quite the contrary, Vermonters have a relatively progressive tax structure. Those findings were confirmed by a recent report from the Joint Fiscal Office. “Is Paul saying that property taxes in Vermont are OK? No, he’s not saying that at all,” notes

Senator Doug Racine (DChittenden). “We can debate how much we should be taxing ourselves. But let’s start with the facts, and not a bias that’s based on inaccurate information.” PAI is still a very small outfit, with only three full-time staffers operating out of a small office on Elm Street in Montpelier; much of its work is done by outside consultants, including Hoffer and independent analyst Deb Brighton. But several weeks ago, PAI hired Jack Hoffman as a senior policy analyst. Hoffman is a 25-year veteran reporter who spent two decades covering state government for the Times Argus and Rutland Herald. For the last five years, he headed the now-defunct Vermont Broadband Council. PAI hired Hoffman not only because of his years of investigative reporting experience, ferreting out hard-to-find information on tax and budget issues. It also reflects an effort to correct a troubling trend in journalism; namely, that fewer and fewer newspapers, in Vermont and nationally, are devoting resources to covering state government. To wit: The Burlington Free Press, Vermont’s largest newspaper, no longer maintains a statehouse bureau.

Hoffman asks. Does that mean it’s allocated the same amount of money as it got last year? Or, does it get the amount of money it needs to maintain the same level of services? “If we can’t even agree on those facts,” Hoffman says, “it’s hopeless for us to try to have a meaningful policy discussion.”

Public-policy think tanks are few and far between in Vermont. For the last 14 years, the Ethan Allen Institute in Concord has commanded the conservative end of the spectrum, upholding such values as individual liberty, private property, competitive free enterprise and limited and frugal government. Its president, John McClaughry, consistently champions a fiscally conservative viewpoint in frequent editorials and op-ed pieces. McClaughry expects that the public-policy positions of Cillo, Hoffman and PAI will run contrary to most everything he believes in. He calls them strident advocates for big government and higher taxes. “Has there ever been a tax that Paul Cillo and Jack Hoffman thought ought to be reduced?” McClaughry asks. And, he chuckles at the notion that PAI is now championing the

Hoffman’s primary job right now is to get PAI’s “Budget Transparency Project” up and running. As he explains it, most people assume that the purpose of open government is just to keep elected officials honest. But as he points out, open government is also an opportunity for leaders to tap the knowledge and experience of ordinary citizens. This is especially true for Vermont’s citizen legislature, where new lawmakers come into the process with varying degrees of expertise and education on financial matters. “You and the rest of the public are not meant to be just spectators and passively accept information about what’s going on,” Hoffman says. “You have to get it in a way that allows you to participate and affect what happens.” PAI’s Budget Transparency Project has three components, Hoffman explains. First, its goal is to educate the public about the budget process itself and put out a consumer guide that explains how average citizens can get involved. Second, the project will collect, compile and maintain budget data in a format that allows everyone, “both neophytes and veterans,” to do their own research. Finally, the project will try to reform and standardize the budget process, so everyone involved in policy debates is “starting from the same page.” For example, what does it mean when a state agency or program is “level funded,”

cause of greater budget transparency. As he points out, many of the conservative groups he supports or belongs to, including the State Policy Network and Grover Norquist’s Americans for Tax Reform, have long advocated that very same goal. “Eliminate waste, fraud and abuse, as the Republicans always say.” That said, McClaughry welcomes PAI’s presence on the political scene. “That’s what democracy is all about, the clash of ideas,” he says. “And PAI will certainly accentuate that clash of ideas.” In fact, McClaughry says he respects much of Cillo and Hoffman’s past work, even when they’ve been on opposite sides of the debate from him. “I will say that Jack was always the first place you went to get information about state spending when he was a reporter, and that can be dreary stuff,” he says. “I’ll read his stuff, but don’t read anything he writes about supply-side economics, because he’s dead wrong!” Some folks in the legislature say they’re glad to finally see a political counterweight to the Ethan Allen Institute’s free-market bias. “It’s good to have somebody besides John McClaughry analyzing things, because John McClaughry doesn’t analyze,” says Sen. Racine. “He’s just a mouthpiece for the Heritage Foundation.” But others put Public Assets Institute in a different category than the Ethan Allen Institute, in large

part because Cillo is doing his own research and analysis. “Public Assets Institute has not, to my knowledge, put out reports that are a regurgitation of material that’s put out nationally,” Pugh suggests. “They’re doing original, independent research, and that’s a really important service to Vermont.” Representative Michael Obuchowski, who chairs the House Ways and Means Committee and co-chairs the Joint Fiscal Committee, says that PAI is performing an invaluable service for lawmakers. He says that while the JFO does a “marvelous job” on complex budget issues, he admits the office has a small staff that cannot do everything it’s asked to do. Increasingly, lawmakers have to rely on information provided to them by interest groups, lobbyists and ordinary citizens. “I’ve been in meetings with Paul when he’s been asking the hard questions,” he says. “And, he’s getting the answers . . . I think he calls ’em as he sees ’em.” It doesn’t hurt that Cillo, 54, is “one smart dude,” as Obuchowski puts it. Or, that he comes across more like a college professor than a politician — genial and patient, with a tendency to explain his position rather than argue it. Interestingly, Cillo’s 1975 degree from UVM is in philosophy, not math or economics; in his twenties, he discovered he had a knack for policy analysis while working for the Department of Corrections. Fellow lawmakers who served with Cillo in the 1990s describe him as thoughtful and bright, with a skill at making people feel at ease. Although he describes his organization as “nonpartisan,” Cillo clearly has a point of view; namely, that government still has a role in advancing the public good. John Fairbanks is the public affairs manager at the Vermont Housing Finance Agency, a nonprofit agency that finances and promotes affordable housing for low- and moderate-income Vermonters. He says the state has long needed the independent budget analysis that PAI is doing. “I’m one of those people who believes that the role of the public sector has been unfairly vilified,” Fairbanks says. “You say ‘big government program’ and some people react with an almost Pavlovian response. “If you think about it, the federal government has sort of been a deadbeat dad,” Fairbanks continues. “It’s essentially walked away from funding necessary public services and dumped them on the states.” PAI intends to make policy recommendations and suggest reforms to the budget-making process. But ultimately, Cillo doesn’t see PAI as advocating one particular political viewpoint so much as getting inside the numbers to see where they’re leading us. Only then, he says, can Vermonters have a meaningful debate about the direction they want to go. “There’s an almost fetishistic reluctance to discuss revenue issues,” Cillo says. “It’s irrational. The basic idea of being unwilling to think about the state we want because we’re unwilling to talk about what it costs.” �

Digestible Democracy An über-foodie dishes up people-powered politics

ecades before readers got a taste of Michael Pollan’s Omnivore’s Dilemma, Frances Moore Lappé was sounding off on the politics of food. Her landmark 1971 book, Diet for a Small Planet, STORY combined investigative dirt on industriMIKE al agriculture with tasty recipes. Since IVES then, the author has written on such wide-ranging topics as over-population, IMAGE food policy and corporate conglomeraCOURTESY tion. In addition to penning 15 other OF SMALL books, Moore Lappé has founded a PLANET food-oriented think tank, a progressive MEDIA news service and an international socialjustice institute. Frances Moore Lappé speaks on In her new book, Getting a Grip: “Getting a Grip on Clarity, Creativity and Courage in a Democracy” on World Gone Mad, Lappé puts grassroots November 2 at 7:30 democracy on the table.

Moore Lappé calls her vision for the future “Living Democracy” — a “relational” web of civic initiatives and responsibilities. To complement this theory, she offers glowing portraits of inspired, albeit relatively unknown, activists. She also tosses in mini treatises on huge subjects such as human nature and linguistic imperialism. But her informal writing style makes it easy reading — fewer than 200 pages, in fact — and the final work incorporates her personal musings and self-help charts with titles like “Spiral of Empowerment.” Moore Lappé’s writing voice is undeniably unique — who else delivers

D

Marxist diatribes with the sweet, simplistic logic of a kindergarten teacher? “Rescuing the environment could start with simply requiring the government to . . . stop handing out rewards for destruction,” she notes at one point. “No big price tag there, just the guts to say no to fossil fuel lobbies.” Moore Lappé used to live in southern Vermont before moving to Cambridge, Massachusetts, and she’s a regular visitor to the state. Chelsea Green is distributing Getting a Grip, which was self-published. On Friday she reads at Burlington’s Peace & Justice Center as part of a multi-city tour. A few weeks ago, Moore Lappé visited the Mad River Valley to deliver an impassioned lecture before a packed audience at Knoll Farm in Waitsfield. Her speech was the keynote address at the Center for Whole Communities’ fifth annual “Harvest and Courage” celebration. Afterward, she caught up with Seven Days over cups of loose-leaf tea. SEVEN DAYS: Throughout your career, you have resisted theories on “scarcity” — the perception that our world is crunched for resources. In Getting a Grip, for example, you characterize a scarcity-infused worldview as a “shrunken view of our existence.” FRANCIS MOORE LAPPE: That was the beginning of my adult life, when I was sitting in the U.C. Berkeley library putting these numbers together [while researching Diet for a Small Planet]. The experts were telling us that scarcity was the problem, that we’d met the limits of the finite earth. That’s what people were saying about food. So that was my “aha” moment, when I realized, “No: In fact, there is tremendous abundance in the

EXCERPT FROM GETTING A GRIP: CLARITY, CREATIVITY AND COURAGE IN A WORLD GONE MAD We cannot predict outcomes, but some things are coming clear: and that clarity is beginning to rattle us: The shock of melting ice caps and dying penguins, of leveled rainforests and species wiped out daily before we’ve ever met them, of children armed in genocidal war, and children dying of hunger even as we feed over a third of all grain to livestock . . . all of this is sinking in, and more and more of us know the time is now — that we act powerfully now or we see our fate sealed: We risk becoming our species’ most shameful ancestors, passing on to those we love and those they will love a diminished world that we ourselves find heartbreaking. Such shock may then open us to a surge of energy lying dormant — a pure, protective rage we can transform into exuberant defense of our beautiful earth under siege. Yes, there is much we do not and perhaps cannot know about our chances of success. But there is much we can know. Humanity is coming to understand nature’s fundamental laws and the fatal consequences of ignoring them. Rather than triggering panic, our coming to accept nature’s boundaries may bring huge relief. If children need boundaries to feel safe, maybe we’ll find we all do. Nature offers us real, non-arbitrary guidelines, and as we align ourselves with her — because we ourselves are part of nature — we may also move into greater alignment with one another. Could this shift, truly trusting nature’s laws, ultimately release the grip of self-created scarcity, allowing us to experience real abundance for the first time? Many are also coming to know that just as we need not fight the natural world, we need not fight our own nature. We can trust our deep, in-born needs to “connect and affect.” We can trust our ability to walk with fear. We can even trust our capacity to let go of long-held ways of seeing in order to structure our societies to protect us from the worst in us while releasing the best: for we know in our bones that the real problems facing our planet can only be met by the ingenuity, experience, and buy-in — the contagious engagement — of billions of us. Knowing all this, it is at least possible that we can take the biggest leap, embracing the open and dynamic frame that Living Democracy offers us.

world, but we’re actively shrinking its capacity to feed us.� That was the big shocker for me . . . I think the human experience is very much that we create what we fear. Out of this sense of scarcity, we create this world that we experience that way; it keeps reinforcing. That we reduce the abundance of the earth by not aligning

the [early 1980s]. Clearly, coming out of World War II, my parents’ generation understood that minimum wage, social security, the GI bill — these basic, basic things — were necessary to have a decent society. In order to have genuine freedom, then of course we have to make government responsible to all of us and protect rights to unions and all these things.

With the extreme propaganda campaigns that began in the late ’70s and early ’80s, we were robbed of the idea that government can be a tool to realize our values.

With the extreme propaganda campaigns that began in the late ’70s and early ’80s, we were robbed of the idea that government can be a tool to realize our values. And in fact, what I argue in Getting a Grip is that we can’t have a fair, competitive open market without effective government to keep it that way. Because the market left to itself will just concentrate into monopoly.

digestible democracy << 39A

SD: There’s a section in the 20th-anniversary edition of Diet for a Small Planet where you talk about being suspicious of authority. It’s funny to compare that suspicion with what you’ve become today: an authority figure. What does that feel like? FML: Back when I first started speaking, I tried to shock people with my ordinariness. Part of my agenda was to say, “Any of us who care enough can find out what we need to know in order to make an intelligent statement about it.” If I had had a PhD in development economics and nutrition, I probably would never have written Diet for a Small Planet. That’s why I say to young people: “Don’t discount the value of coming in with unschooled eyes!” They haven’t been trained by the institutions of power to jump over square one, you know? I didn’t jump over square one, which was, “Why are people hungry?” And it was all there in the library; anybody could’ve written it. So yeah, I love that people interview me, that I’m an expert who gets to be on the World Future Council. That’s pretty cool: You meet incredible people and feel like you have something important to say. At the same time, though, I never want people to bury the fact that I’m self-taught. SD: Sounds like you could run for office on that. FML: Yeah . . . SD: Maybe you should run for governor of Vermont? Democrats are having trouble coming up with a candidate. FML: [Laughs.] Yeah, I’d have to move back. You know, it was really cool, when I stepped off the plane this morning, I heard this voice, and it was Patrick Leahy [standing there]. I know him a tiny bit — he’s not even close to a personal friend. But I had the courage to say [hello], and he said, “Would you send me a signed book?” I said, “Sure.” I just love Bernie Sanders and Patrick Leahy. When [former Attorney General] Alberto Gonzales resigned, I wrote a fan letter on Patrick Leahy’s website. I mean, I don’t think my role is running for office, but it is that same spirit. SD: Interestingly enough, Vermont wasn’t mentioned in Getting a Grip. Were you implying that our state somehow “gets” it? FML: No, that wasn’t intentional; it was just trying to keep that book short. There are several Vermont pieces in my longer book on living democracy, Democracy’s Edge.

Introducing

Many stories could have fit in easily — it was just a matter of space. SD: Have you heard of Vermont’s localvore movement? FML: Yes. In fact, I spoke at a localvore event in Rutland last spring. SD: How do the localvores fit into the paradigms of your book? FML: By definition, the localvore approach — the idea of local provisioning — contributes to the decentralizing and democratizing of power. It also [challenges] anonymity, or non-community. In global supply chains, we don’t ever see those people who are slaving in China to produce our clothes. With the localvore movement, we have a better chance of seeing the consequences of our choices, and therefore making choices that are human and not inhumane . . . SD: Over the course of your career, food has been the central “frame” through which you address larger issues. Now, your approach has really caught on in our national literature. What is it like to see your frame proliferating, as it were? Or do you see it that way? FML: You mean like Barbara Kingsolver? Oh, I do . . . In my mid-twenties, I felt that [food] would be the great awakening that would bring us back to the best aspects of our humanity. The received wisdom of Diet for a Small Planet was “Oh, if I just eat less meat, hunger can be fed,” and not that the whole grain-fed meat thing was a symbol of a deeper problem in our economic system. So that’s always a double-edged sword. But [contemporary interest in food writing] feels very, very positive and exciting for me. SD: A silly question: What’s your favorite whole grain? FML: Well, my new one — of course, this is really trite — is quinoa, ’cause it’s so versatile and quick and packed. I was just reading a Navdanya publication, and I fell in love again reading about all its wonders. SD: When was the last time you ate a steak? FML: Oh, a steak! [Laughs.] Probably the last I remember was . . . ’68 — that I remember. That’s a long time ago! But that’s, I mean, when I really stopped eating meat was probably . . . The last time I remember was going to a steak house in Philadelphia in early ’68. �

that the Rapture has been made possible by his own invention, the Doodad. Though this contraption has a silly name, Estrin describes a plausible mechanism for it, involving massive magnets positioned just beyond the ozone layer. Fascinated from childhood by the twin movements of falling and rising — we’re told — Julius concocted the Doodad for its own sake, little foreseeing its uses. The U.S. government, however, has lately become highly interested in selective population control — and has strongarmed Julius into signing his invention away for this covert purpose. The mecha-

replaced by frenzied faith. Subway ads read, “Before the end, come back to Budâ€? and “When the Lord calls, will your line be busy? Fibercellulars™. Used in the Oval Office.â€? Roving street choirs fervently sing psalms, then hold out paper cups for change that read “Burger King o’ Kings.â€? Children clutch stuffed crucifixes. One might expect to encounter a few religious skeptics in this scenario. But it’s hard to muster doubt when, all around, living, breathing New Yorkers are literally being raised into heaven without warning, as if by divine intervention, never to be seen again.

nism would be particularly useful, officials explain to Julius, for removing certain “enemies� of the state (the definition of which is kept pragmatically open), while making their disappearances seem like acts of God. In a feeble attempt to right his unintended wrong, Julius threatens to expose the Orwellian regime’s hoax. Henceforth — that is, for the bulk of the novel — he is a marked man. Estrin’s prose is full of exquisitely interwoven cultural references, historical anecdotes and literary allusions — so disparate that it seems almost impossible for one novel to contain them all.

Zion in Lamentations, the Old Testament book written shortly after the fall of Jerusalem in 587 B.C. Like the Israelites who are collectively called by that name, he bears the burden of guilt in his own society’s downfall. It’s not necessary to know the Book of Lamentations to enjoy Lamentations. But it does help. For the Biblical parallels continue. We learn that, like Zion, Julius abandoned his Jewish faith for an “idol”: He converted to Christianity (“and possibly Catholicism”), announcing the decision at his own Bar Mitzvah. The conversion has no simple or everyday rationale. Rather, it reflects Julius’ obsession with falling and rising, motifs that (Estrin suggests) practically define Christianity, from the Fall of Man to the Ascension — the Rapture — of Christ. Estrin complicates the Biblical lament by linking the attraction of the Christian religion to a timeless curiosity — fundamental to gravity-bound humans — about rising above this Earth. He implies that Christianity

Reading Estrin’s work means pausing repeatedly to wonder, Where have I read (or heard) that? But, to return to the novel’s Biblical muse, the reader should be aware that The Lamentations of Julius Marantz, rather like Lamentations, lacks a compelling plot. One early sign: While the sixth-century B.C. poem’s expressions of grief are given graceful form by the 22letter Hebrew alphabet — each of its stanzas is headed by a successive letter — Estrin’s intermittent Hebrew-letter chapter headings peter out at number eight, Heth. After opening promisingly, with Julius stumbling on a government-broadcast “wanted” ad for himself, the narrative backtracks to Julius’ origins. It delves into his birth and childhood in a Jewish neighborhood on West 33rd Street and continues through his college days in Denmark. These chapters are the best part of the book, fleshing out a precocious, idiosyncratic character’s thinking as it develops from childhood. It’s

and bought him a large frozen custard with sprinkles. When the narrative leaves behind Julius the young, exJewish physicist to return to present day, he becomes something of a cardboard cutout. It’s hard to square the earlier, engaging character with the latter-day one whose sole purpose, in the rest of the book, is to observe the apocalyptic streets around him as he seeks escape routes. One of these involves a figure from Julius’ childhood — the very girl who introduced him to Catholicism. Now aged, she is given somewhat gratuitous breast cancer and a few lines-of-the-faithful, apparently intended to dignify true Faith amid the horrors of religious government gone mad. This character doesn’t last long, 107 Church St. Burlington • 864-7146 needless to say, and there is little reason to care. Really, the purpose served by 2x5-optical102407.indd 1 Julius’ protracted end is to give room and voice to the author’s own erudition.

was the inevitable choice for a boy who imagined that the red Pegasus on the Mobil gas-station sign “shared his upward preference.” A good part of the wonder of this book lies in watching Estrin free-wheel through Western history’s love affair with the risen and the fallen. There are discourses on the philosophers Heidegger (who describes falling into the “already”-ness of the world) and Kierkegaard (being unable to rise from that world). There are allusions to the dimming overhead lights during the Rosenbergs’ execution at SingSing and a Frenchman’s highwire crossing between the Twin Towers. There are multiple digressions on the history of Coney Island, from Freud’s condescending visit to the park to the towering flames of its destruction in 1911. (The fire broke out during an attempted repair of “Hell’s Gate,” an underground ride based on Dante’s Inferno.) There is layer on layer of literary reference, from the ever-rising falcon in Yeats’ poem “The Second Coming” to Mozart’s aria for Leporello, where the servant resolves no longer to serve such a base master as Don Giovanni.

impossible, for example, not to cite this passage, which describes Julius’ preschool days: “Dad, would you drink a glass of your own spit?” “No,” his father said. “Disgusting.” “Why? Don’t you swallow it all the time?” Or this one, concerning the center of his childhood experiences, Coney Island: “Dad, how do we figure the height of the Parachute Jump? “Maybe ask the guys in the booth.” “How do we know they know? I mean, if we wanted to measure it ourselves.” Phillip thought this might be the teaching moment for some elementary trigonometry. “If we got hold of a transit,” he gestured what a transit was, “we could measure the angle up to the top, and . . .” “But without a transit. Just a ruler.” Phillip realized this was not just a discussion but a trap. “I dunno. I give up.” “We measure its shadow along the boardwalk just when my shadow equals my height.” That’s my boy, Phillip thought,

After describing a disturbing incident in 1903, when Thomas Edison discredited a rival’s invention by using it to electrocute a live elephant, Estrin directly and unironically advises readers to “Just 10/16/07 12:53:37 PM Google ‘Topsy electrocution.’” 2x5-pjc101707.indd 1 Other authors have fictionalized their worst fears — David Foster Wallace, for example, set Infinite Jest at a time when even time is corporate-owned (Year of the Depend Adult Undergarment; Year of the erated ~ Trial-size Dove Bar).

But those laments for a doomsday-bound society are conveyed through unforgettably quirky, humorous characters whose actions and thoughts keep the whole thing from sounding like a political rant.

TAKING NOTE OF VISUAL VERMONT

Iron Man

L IMAGES Jeb WallaceBrodeur For more information about Lucian Avery’s work, visit www. lucianavery blacksmith.com

ucian Avery suffers for his art. At any given time, numerous burns dot his forearms. But that’s less alarming when you learn his line of work — blacksmithing. For the past 14 years, Avery has been giving exquisite shape to lifeless metal at a small shop in Hardwick. And he’s one of a small but growing number of contemporary artisans drawn to a craft that began in the Iron Age. As the founding president of the Green Mountain Blacksmiths Association and a member of the board of New England Blacksmiths, he’s helped to, well, forge a reinvention of metallurgy. Additionally, Avery has taught blacksmithing classes and workshops around the region. An entire generation of New England blacksmiths is benefiting from the knowledge he’s acquired through thousands of hammer falls — and, perhaps, just as many burns. Impressive, considering he’s only 35. Not everyone sees blacksmithing as a creative art, but Avery’s handsome work — ranging from architectural ornaments and restoration hard-

ware to wrought-iron tables and chandeliers — melts the line between art and craft. “The work I do pretty much all has a function,” he explains.

“Some things people don’t end up using a lot, so in a lot of ways it’s more artistic.” As an example, Avery cites a commission he recently completed for a fireplace screen and tools. The pieces will end up in a weekend home in Vermont, where they’ll be used infrequently. Hence he designed them with aesthetics, as much as functionality, in mind. Some of Avery’s work is stark and powerful, but it also can be impossibly delicate. He draws inspiration primarily from nature, incorporating animal and plant elements into his work. A garden gate, featured in

look of his style. So authentic, in fact, that Avery takes the precaution of stamping his name in each of his pieces. If they’re good enough for historians, he figures, chances are they could be passed off as real antiques. There’s a simple reason Avery’s works look so old: His technique is, too. Most metalworking these days is done in what he calls a “cut-and-paste” style, in which different pieces of metal are welded together to create a desired effect. While such metalworkers are often called “blacksmiths,” that’s a misnomer to the real McCoys. Avery’s traditional approach makes him some-

Dominating the room is a small forge that looks like a metal wizard’s hat over a table of flickering coals. Avery’s online gallery, has leafy “vines” creeping over its bars. The vines, too, are forged from metal. Most of Avery’s work is commissioned and custom-designed, though some stock items are available in retail outlets, including Artisan’s Hand in Montpelier. There, Manager Sandy Ducharme says people who come looking for black iron and steel items quickly fall in love with Avery’s creations. The store primarily stocks his smaller pieces, such as candleholders and sturdy hooks. Despite his vast artistic license, Avery is particularly fond of making basic door hardware. He shapes, and keeps in stock, handles, latches, hinges and fasteners that would be right at home in a 19th-century house. In fact, he’s occasionally asked to create such hardware for historic restorations because of the authentic

thing of an oddity — true blacksmiths are not exactly a dying breed, but they’re still hard to come by. Avery spends most of his time in Hardwick in a two-car garage — the sort of structure you’d normally see adorned with a basketball hoop. Instead, his has a small, hand-lettered sign that says simply, “Blacksmith Shop.” Stepping inside it is like going back in time. Dominating the room is a small forge that looks like a metal wizard’s hat over a table of flickering coals. It’s not the sort of flame-belching monstrosity often depicted in movies, nor is Avery anything like the stereotypical movie blacksmith. His blond hair is cut short, and he looks thin under his heavy brown apron. He speaks softly, but when talking about his craft, he stands up a bit straighter and becomes more passionate.

SEVEN DAYS | october 31-november 07, 2007 | feature 47A

Avery does the bulk of his work on the forge and the nearby anvil — which looks like a small zeppelin. He starts with a single steel bar. “I forge out each element and form all these different shapes,” he explains. The first step is heating the metal in the forge, which softens it enough to make it workable. When the metal is hot enough, Avery draws the glowing bar from the coals and sets it either directly on the anvil’s face or on a shaping mold called a hardy tool. He holds it steady with metal tongs in one hand and, with the other, shapes it with repeated blows of his hammer. With

gloves, and his sleeves are rolled up. Luckily, the flakes cool quickly. Normally, he concedes, he does wear protective headphones as well as glasses. Avery’s career as a blacksmith had its origins in a practical impulse: “I wanted to make tools for myself for homesteading,” he says. Clearly self-sufficient, he set about creating his own implements for farming and woodworking. Though Avery took a few workshops and culled as much information as he could from books and fellow smiths, much of what he learned came from experimentation in his shop. Things evolved from there

Some of Avery’s work is stark and powerful, but it also can be impossibly delicate. each strike, the metal cools, its orange glow dimming until it is dark and too cold to work. Avery then returns the metal to the fire for another heating. The process is repeated until he’s created his desired shape. And this, of course, is how Avery earns his battle scars. When metal is heated in the forge, even for a brief period, a thin sheath of rust forms on it. This comes off when the metal is hammered, usually drifting harmlessly to the floor, he says. But sometimes the hot flakes practically explode, landing on bare flesh where they stick and sizzle — Avery does not wear

— to a livelihood. Avery can now command upwards of $2700 for, say, a customdesigned fireplace screen. A simple planter hook goes for about $8.) He still makes his own tools, though, as evidenced by the rows of instruments that line his shop. “If I go to a carpenter or a woodworker and look through their catalogues, I’m out of luck if I don’t see what I need,” he says. Besides, for Avery, the technique and the tools are intertwined; to compromise either would be a disservice to the craft, and to the timeless beauty of his art. �

ARTWORK “Gene Pool” by Janet Van Fleet

PHOTO Marc Awodey

arth Stories,” at the 215 College Artists’ Cooperative Gallery in Burlington, comprises a pair of shows that seem quite dissimilar at first. Ayn Baldwin Riehle’s half, entitled “Musings from the Vegetable Garden,” is a collection of 18 8-by-10-inch acrylic and watercolor paintings focused on the hues and forms of her garden. Janet Van Fleet’s “Gene Pool” is more conceptually complex, and shares none of Riehle’s vibrant colors. Van Fleet’s constructions, paintings and sculptures are rendered in shades of brown. But there’s an important unifying factor in the tandem exhibition: The press release asserts, “Both artists’ work is grounded in the natural world while strongly suggesting a human presence.” In Riehle’s work, that human presence is very painterly. All her pieces are close-up views of the leaves, flowers and buds in her garden on Savage Island, in northern Lake Champlain. In her artist’s statement, Riehle writes that she “was surprised at my own new reading of the garden. I found myself compelled to look again and again” at the relationships among the leaves, textures and sometimes even tastes of her subjects. “Chicory” is a quite abstract piece. Stems and leaves radiate upward from a focal point in the lower half of the painting, like rays in a sunrise. Riehle layered translucent greens and lilac over a pale red under-

painting to intensify her hues. By combining watercolors, acrylics and possibly gouache, she played with variations of transparency and intensity. In “Sunflowers and Marigolds,” broad leaves of varied greens are punctuated by four red flowers dancing over the picture plane. A dozen patches of light blue form a chromatic counterpoint to the reds. “Milkweed” is Riehle’s only vertically composed piece, and also the darkest. A deep gray-black mist engulfs the two plants. Highlights take the form of passages of raw white paper left untouched in the leaves. Van Fleet’s use of a limited palette stems from a conscious decision. She notes, “The humans on our planet are a delightfully diverse collection of physical types and colors, most of which are various shades of brown, like the soil that maintains us.” “Untitled II” is a non-objective oil on Mylar, 30 by 40 inches, made up of rhythmic diagonal strokes. About 30 brown circles, reminiscent of the buttons Van Fleet often employs in her constructions, are like stepping stones in the pale tan field. Van Fleet’s title work, “Gene Pool,” gets more specific about human genetic mingling. “Here, I was thinking of people, in all the different colors of the human genome,” she writes. It’s a dramatic installation, 75 by 65 by 25 inches, in which three vertical sculptures made from 6-by-6-inch barn beams over-

look a carved wooden trencher. Oil-on-panel faces look up from each beam. The central face is female, and a belly full of egg-like nuts and pods rests in a hollowed-out part of her post. She’s flanked by a caveman countenance at left, and a darker-skinned, curlyhaired visage at right. Thousands of red-brown buttons, with a few lighter and darker ones mixed in, fill the 50-inch trencher bowl. Male identity is both lampooned and portrayed as ominous in Van Fleet’s “Guns and Phalluses” series. She paired found sticks, which resemble pistol and penis forms, with embellishments such as weathered triggers on the guns, and tufts of grass and dangling wooden balls for the penises. Like the Dani tribesmen of Papua New Guinea, who wear absurdly long “penis gourds,” American males in particular seem to hide their insecurities behind .44 Magnums and .38 Specials. Van Fleet makes that connection obvious. Science fans may notice that both exhibit titles — “Gene Pool” and “Musings from the Vegetable Garden” — could be read as allusions to the experiments of Gregor Mendel (1822-1884), the Austrian priest who is ironically known as the “father” of modern genetics. He raised thousands of pea plants and used them to unlock the secrets of heredity. Riehle’s and Van Fleet’s artistic investigations are also exceptionally productive. m

theborowitzreport Dean Reassures Democrats: “We Will Find a Way to Screw This Up”

A

mid a growing belief that there is no way the Democrats can blow the 2008 presidential election, Democratic National Committee chief Howard Dean sought today to reassure the party faithful that the party was “doing everything in its power” to uphold its losing tradition. At a top-level summit called “Defeat: 2008” being held in Boston, the former Vermont governor gave a rousing speech to concerned Democrats, bringing his audience to his feet by vowing, “I can assure each and every one of you, we will find a way to screw this up.” With President Bush’s approval rating below 30 percent and none of the Republican presidential contenders stirring the public’s imagination, many Democrats have been worried that their historic role as losers and sad sacks might come to an abrupt end in 2008, a fear Dean attempted to quell today. “Folks, let’s not forget, we’re Democrats,” Dean said. “If there’s a way to lose, we will find it.” Carol Foyler, a longtime Democrat from Bethesda, Md., who attended the summit, said that she had been worried that the

Democrats might somehow pull out a victory in 2008, but added, “Just knowing that Howard Dean is in charge makes me feel much more confident about losing.” Elsewhere, after a study by the Georgetown School of Medicine said

by david thomas

playing the electronic field

Tony Hawk, Take a Walk Remember Tony Hawk? Of course you do. Not only does Hawk have almost supernatural skills on a skateboard, but he’s arguably the first person who turned super-celebrity largely because of a video game. Sure, people skateboarded before Hawk, and they even made a living out of rolling around empty swimming pools and down wooden ramps before Hawk pulled his first Airwalk-to-Fakie. But it was Tony Hawk’s “Pro Skater” that launched both Hawk’s career and the sport of skateboarding into the wide-open world of popular culture. Since 1999, kids haven’t needed to crack open a copy of Thrasher magazine to learn the ins and outs of the ollie, kickflip or rail grind. While no one was looking, Tony Hawk’s video game made skateboarding into more than a fringe sport dominated by juvenile delinquents in Southern California. But, while gamers were happily button-mashing their way through the more impossible feats in the Hawk series, EA was quietly working to return the pastime to the nittygritty of a pair of shoes, a board, trucks, wheels and a pile of physical skills. With a game sedately named “Skate,” EA hopes it has reinvented the skateboard game from the controls up. The Hawk games built their reputation on arcane button combos that turned virtual skateboarding into something like piloting the space shuttle. Sure, you could grind down an impossible 100 yards of railing, if only you could remember the right sequence in which to skate toward, hop up, stay balanced and jump off. In “Skate,” most of the manipulation takes place with a flick of the left or right control stick. Pull the stick back to crouch,

and then snap it forward to ollie your board into the air. Reverse the process to nollie. Complete a sharp hook maneuver with the stick to execute a shove-it. Buttons help you power-slide and push off. Triggers execute grabs, coupled with joystick-motion effect tweaks. Not only does “Skate” teach you to twiddle joystick controls; it also schools you in the diverse vocabulary of skateboarding culture and style. Here “Skate” connects back to the Hawk legacy. Skateboarding has always been as much about expression as physical skill. As you zip out into the suburban wilds on your board, “Skate” lets you feel for a moment that you really know how to ride. Who’s It For: If you’ve ever ridden on a skateboard, or just thought it

would be fun, “Skate” provides a safe environment to pull tricks like a pro. If You Like This, Try That: Stacy Peralta’s documentary Dogtown and Z-Boys remains the benchmark for skateboarding inspiration. Detailing the invention and rise of the modern skateboard culture, it makes you feel the thrill of sweeping down a SoCal street on a classic deck. Best Part: “Skate” allows players to record particularly spectacular performances and then upload the results to a “Skate” website for the world to see. Whether they show jaw-dropping tricks or bonebreaking crashes, the videos on the “Skate” site provide both bragging rights and inspiration. See for yourself at www.ea.com/skate.

Place a number in the empty boxes in such a way that each row across, each column down and each 9-box square contains all of the numbers one to nine.

november 01-07

ARIES (March 21-April 19): A top official at

the European Robotics Research Network predicts that humans will “be having sex with robots” sooner than anyone expected — probably within four years. I hope this little shocker will help motivate you to follow my astrological advice for the coming week, which is to flee in the opposite direction of that trend. Start by phasing out any robotic, machine-like behavior that may have crept into the way you make love. For that matter, deprogram yourself of any automatic, lifeless habits that are infecting your approach to expressing intimacy, tenderness, and togetherness.

TAURUS

(April 20-May 20): Moths, hummingbirds, and bats love to drink the nectar that flowers offer. In return, these pollinators are expected to get some pollen stuck on their bodies and carry it away to fertilize other plants. While the nectar is tasty, it’s usually not pure sweetness. If it were, the first pollinator to come along would suck it all dry, leaving nothing for further visitors. And that wouldn’t be good from the plant’s point of view, because it would limit the number of places where its pollen would be disseminated. To keep nectar-drinking sessions short, therefore, most plants include just a touch of bitterness in the blend. Regard this entire scenario as a useful metaphor for you to keep in mind during the coming weeks, Taurus.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Pulitzer prize-

winning journalist Seymour Hersh told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer that the governments of the U.S. and Israel were slavering for a bombing raid on Iran. “The Israeli position is very firm,” he said. “They want us to go into Iran. And they want us to hit hard . . . If you run into a lion, you either shoot it or ignore it. You don’t pluck out its eyebrows.” Keep that last image in mind, Gemini. In the coming weeks, I advise you to take a similar attitude toward the enemy within you. Don’t mess around with cosmetic changes or half-assed measures. Either go all the way or don’t go at all. (P.S. It’s OK if you’re not quite ready for a full-scale showdown. You’ll have another chance in January.)

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Best days

this month for smart love, healing beauty, and uplifting adventure: 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 23, 24. Best days for creative outbreaks and ingenious self-expression: 5, 8, 10, 11, 12, 14, 16, 17, 25. Best days to search for the loot from a 1967 bank robbery hidden in a metal box stashed inside a hollowed-out log in the woods: 2, 3, 9, 10, 11. Best days to dream about a dancing rhinoceros whose careening around a giant ouija board gives you information about an opportunity to manifest one of your most ambitious dreams: 6, 7, 13, 15, 18, 21, 22.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22): When a plant needs help, mused filmmaker David Lynch, “the experienced gardener doesn’t worry about the leaves. He gets at the problem from the roots.” That thought should be a central guide for you in the coming week, Leo. Don’t attack the symptoms of your dilemma with money, tears or accusations. Instead, find the hidden causes and gently massage them with crafty compassion.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The owners of a parts supply store in South Carolina billed the Pentagon $998,798 for sending two 19-cent washers to a Texas army base. Let’s install them as your symbolic reminder not to overpay for anything in the coming week, no matter how crucial it may be to your operations. And when I invoke that word “overpay,” I’m referring not only to forking over money, but also to giving away your emotional energy, directing your attention, or offering up your help. Make sure that you’re getting equal value for your contributions.

LIbRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): In the realm of competitive swimming, it’s a big deal when an athlete shaves a fraction of a second off an existing world record. At a championship meet in Melbourne earlier this year, Michael Phelps was virtually canonized when he beat the previous mark for the 200-meter freestyle by two-tenths of a second. I predict that you will achieve a comparable feat in the coming week, Libra. Some

tiny improvement you accomplish will make a major difference.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): A drunk

dominatrix sidled up to me at a party and said, “Reverend, please absolve me of my sins.” I’m not officially a priest, but in the spirit of fun and games I replied, “Why, my dear? Have you seen the error of your ways?” She spread her arms wide as she bowed, hissing like a serpent through a toothy smile. “Not at all, Reverend,” she said. “I just want to clear the docket so I can go out and commit a slew of fresh, new sins with crazy abandon.” I sprinkled a few drops of her Heineken on her head and channeled William Blake: “You’ll never know what is enough unless you know what is more than enough. The road of excess leads to the palace of wisdom. If the fool would persist in her folly she would become wise.” And now, Scorpio, I’m channeling the same blessing for you.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “Dear Rob: Thanks for being in my dream last night. We were in a beat-up, barely running old Chevy on a windy, dusty trail. You explained that it would be highly beneficial for a Sagittarian like myself to demolish this junker. With me behind the wheel and you riding shotgun, we slowly and gently smashed it again and again into the side of the cliff, cracking and denting and tearing it up. Then we got out and hammered it with logs. I felt free when I woke up, like I’d achieved some great feat. -Liberated Wrecker.” Dear Liberated: I’m pleased I could join in the work that you (and all Sagittarians) are best suited for right now: creative destruction. It was smart of you to dismantle a symbol of what you’ll no longer settle for and that wouldn’t drive you to where you need to go anyway.

If you are between the ages of 18-45, you may be able to be in a research program at the University of Vermont! If you participate in the study, you will learn strategies to decrease your anxiety and quit smoking!

Neurobiologists at a university in Berlin have conducted experiments that strongly suggest fruit flies have free will. If that awesome capacity can thrive in the tiny brains of shortlived insects, I think it’s safe to assume that you and I also have it — and probably in much larger amounts. In a separate study reported on by Scientific American, researchers at the University of Kentucky demonstrated that you can boost your willpower simply by using it a lot, in the same way that you strengthen a muscle by exercising it. I present you with these two bolts of good news, Aquarius, just in time for the Build-Your-Free-Will phase of your astrological cycle.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20): “As a European in the movie industry,” writes actor W. Morgan Sheppard, “I’ve learned to think in terms of questions (as in European films) rather than in terms of answers (as in American films). That’s why I love this quote from the play Marat-Sade, which I use when I’m teaching acting: ‘For me the last word cannot ever be spoken. I am always left with a question that is open.’” I urge you to take your next assignment from these thoughts, Pisces. According to my reading of the astrological omens, answers are utterly useless to you in the coming days. Certainty is a sham. What you desperately need are ripe, rounded, provocative questions.

number of TV channels we have to choose from is growing steadily. Where I live, for example, there were a mere 61 options in 2000. Now I can choose from 104. And yet surveys show that most of us watch no more than 15 percent of what’s available. If you’d like to be in alignment

Dan in Real Life HHH

S

BY THE BOOK Carell and Binoche attempt to breathe fresh life into a premise that’s hardly novel.

teve Carell’s new movie is a revelation. Assuming, that is, you’ve found yourself wondering what it would be like to see the star of “The Office” in a different sitcom. Following on the heels of raunchfests such as Knocked Up, Superbad and The Heartbreak Kid, Dan in Real Life has been hailed as a romantic comedy of rare sophistication — but everything’s relative. On its own terms, the picture is at least as contrived as it is charming, and many of its characters bear less resemblance to flesh-and-blood human beings than to those in a Farrelly brothers farce. It’s a wonder the movie works at all, given the number of missteps director-cowriter Peter (Pieces of April) Hedges makes in the first act alone. Carell plays a newspaper advice columnist whose wife died four

< film>

years earlier, leaving him to raise three young daughters. I would have found it fascinating to learn what sort of background qualifies a 45-year-old American male to write such a column. (Naturally, syndicators come calling in Act Two.) Unfortunately, the fact that he has suffered a tragic loss is all we are told about our still-grieving hero. A more fitting title might have been Dan at the Family Reunion. He’s part of an extended clan that convenes each year at the improbably sprawling seaside home of his parents (John Mahoney and Dianne Wiest). Just as people in movies are prone to toil in colorful, offbeat professions, a laughably high percentage also seem to own ocean-front property. So far, we’re not exactly breaking new ground here. Popping into the local book-and-tackle shop his first morning in Rhode Island, Carell is mistaken for an employee by a beautiful stranger. Juliette Binoche costars as Marie. She blows into the place, approaches Dan and asks for his help in finding a tome, which she proceeds to describe for what seems like 15 minutes. The language she uses is scattered, highly emotional and contradictory. She’s clearly in a manic state. The scene — a botched screwball exercise — threatens to go on forever, and its potential is stunted even further by the filmmaker’s use of self-consciously quirky songs by Sondre Lerche on the soundtrack. It is not a promising start. The next thing we know, Carell and Binoche are

sharing coffee and life stories. The attraction is immediate. When she leaves him, Dan’s got her number, and he’s filled with new hope for the future. At least until he returns to the family compound and is introduced to Marie as the new girlfriend his brother (Dane Cook) has brought to the reunion. And that’s your premise. How will Carell hook up with the woman of his dreams without betraying his brother? What sorts of dangers will he find himself navigating as he attempts to make a love connection without arousing suspicion in the overcrowded house? There are episodes of “Two and a Half Men” with subtler set-ups. To the extent that this film’s day is saved, Carell saves it with a marvelous performance combining humor with unexpected vulnerability. He dials his standard screen technique down and comes across as sympathetic and believable. Of course, he gets an assist here and there from the script, which Hedges cowrote with Pierce Gardner. It’s a mixed bag. On the one hand, it crams the movie with characters who seem like holdovers from ’60s Disney fare. Dan’s siblings and their families play touch football, devour crossword puzzles, and stage living-room talent shows like super-wholesome visitors from the planet Peppy. On the other hand, the movie does feed its star an occasional on-the-money line. (“This is premature,” he advises Binoche in a private moment. “We don’t even know if you can bowl yet.”) It also gives the French Oscar winner the opportunity to prove she can do funhouse every bit as well as art house. I’m not sure Dan represents the triumph some have claimed, however. The latest from Hedges is touching and funny in places, but rarely in the course of its 95 minutes does it look even remotely like real life. RICK KISONAK

The Darjeeling Limited HHHH

I

DYSFUNCTION JUNCTION Three members of Wes Anderson’s stock company seek spiritual enlightenment in his fifth quirky film.

t’s a coincidence that The Darjeeling Limited opened in Vermont the same day as Sean Penn’s movie Into the Wild — but a fortuitous one. Both films are about lads from well-heeled but emotionally barren families who travel far from home in search of meaning. One is a tragedy — if you’ve read Jon Krakauer’s Into the Wild, you know why — and the other’s sort of a comedy. Writer-director Wes Anderson knows how to mock the foibles of coddled people seeking “real” experiences. When Francis Whitman (Owen Wilson), one of the three brothers at the center of Darjeeling, is kicked off an Indian train for various forms of misbehavior — including bringing a poisonous snake on board — he complains, “We’re just trying to experience something!” Poor guy. It’s hard not to feel more sympathy for the put-upon Sikh steward who has to deal with the Whitman brothers as they take their spiritual journey on the rails. Gleefully boorish Francis, who organized the trip, bullies his younger siblings, even telling them what to order for dinner. Wan Peter (Adrien Brody) has left his very pregnant wife back home and hoards mementos of his dead father. Twitchy, insecure Jack (Jason Schwartzman) can’t forget his doomed relationship with Natalie Portman. (We get to witness part of it in “The Hotel Chevalier,” a 14-minute prologue to the film that Anderson originally distributed separately, on the Net.) All three brothers have a penchant for guzzling extra-strong Indian pain relievers. But the script (by Anderson, Schwartzman, and the latter’s cousin Roman Coppola) suggests they haven’t touched the source of their real pain: their dad’s untimely death, and the withdrawal of

their chilly, imperious mother. She’s played by Anjelica Huston, who’s been embodying scary, sexy mom-figures since The Grifters (1990) and did so in the two preceding Anderson movies, The Royal Tenenbaums and The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou. Like Woody Allen, Anderson has his fave actors. He also has a style that’s unmistakable and stamped on every element of the film, from the ’60s rock playing over slo-mo action scenes to the custom luggage toted by the Whitmans, which was created by Marc Jacobs for Louis Vuitton. As for his version of India, it’s easy to mistake it for the sumptuous background of a fashion spread. Anderson uses the place as a cornucopia of color: The vivid hues of the saris, the temples and even the peasants’ huts stand in for the passion that’s clearly missing from the American characters’ lives. All of this sounds like a pretty superficial approach to one of the most complex, vibrant parts of the developing world. And it is — but at least Anderson seems to know it. In one scene, while Wilson, playing the typical American “spiritual tourist,” rhapsodizes, “The people are beautiful!” one of his brothers notices a group of Indian men jeering at the foreigners. Another sequence involving a funeral does a fine job of demonstrating that grief is universal, regardless of how different cultures express it (or don’t).

Bottom line: Anderson post-Rushmore is one of those directors people either adore or try to ignore. Anyone who’s still on the fence should know that this movie is shorter and tighter than the flabby, high-concept The Life Aquatic. Its acting is uniformly fine, and its dialogue is amusing: Anderson and his collaborators have an ear for the sloppy, self-serving ways people talk. (Asked if their mom really wants a surprise visit from the brothers, Wilson replies with a cockily delivered non-sequitur: “Well, she probably doesn’t. But maybe she does!”) Still, some viewers may wish Anderson would take his talent and apply it to a different subset of people, for once. How many times can we watch über-refined urbanites strive to care about something, before we stop caring? MARGOT HARRISON

Swine Tasting at shelburne Farms, a food writer goes whole hog by SUZANNE PODHAIZER

V

isitors to the restaurant at the Inn at Shelburne Farms may have noticed a surprising item on their menus this year. Among the usual pâtés and genteel mixes of fresh greens, the kitchen offered a salad topped with “crispy pig’s ear.” What gives? Most Americans associate food made from recognizable body parts with the frugal habits of pioneers and the poor — not with gourmet dining. We’re comfy with innocuous cubes of stew beef, patties and nuggets formed from “mechanically separated” chicken bits, and piles of ground whatever. But throw an ear or a foot onto a plate, and you’ll hear groans, maybe even some gagging. Still, until we have the technology to raise prime ribs and Delmonico steaks without the inconvenient cow surrounding them, we’ll have an awful lot of offal to deal with. And, as the localvore movement spreads and people become more conscious of what it takes to supply our growing population with food, eating the “leftovers” may seem like the right thing to do. Shelburne Farms walks the talk. On the grounds of the family-estate-turned-nonprofit-foundation, managers are working toward a farming system with as little waste as possible. In the Inn’s seasonal kitchen, where Head Chef Rick Gencarelli and Sous Chef Aaron Josinsky hold sway from May through October, one way to conserve is by using a whole beast instead of discarding the unmentionable bits. For the past year two years, the kitchen staffers have been experimenting with ways to use more of each animal they receive. (Some of their veal calves and lambs are raised on the farm. The remaining animals come from local producers.) “We started

a little last year with terrines and pancetta, and decided we really needed to take it a little further this year,” explains Josinsky. So they began to branch out. Besides the salad topped with crispy pig’s ear, this summer’s menu included dishes made with guanciale, Italian for cured cheeks or jowls. “We were surprised at how we got away with using the head this year,” Josinsky says with a smile. To show off their newfound techniques and recipes, the staff at the Inn at Shelburne Farms decided to close down the kitchen with a bang. They organized a gala this fall dinner that would use an animal, in this case a porker, from tip to toe, and called it “The Whole Beast at Shelburne Farms.” “Of all these animals, the pig is the most interesting for us,” enthuses Josinsky — whom Shelburne Farms Food Systems Coordinator Phoebe Garfinkel calls one of the “masterminds of the meal.” “The pig is just made to be enjoyed,” he goes on. “We have these great animals, and we really want to showcase them.” Luckily for me, I was one of about 50 who made it on to the guest list. Over the past year, I’ve sampled tongue, chicken feet and several kinds of heart, all for the first time. As a food writer, I feel it behooves me to be as open-minded and daring as possible. But there’s still plenty of culinary territory I’ve never had the opportunity to tread. Recently, during an unpleasant experience with chicken feet, I realized it’s much easier to put unusual animal parts in my mouth when I know exactly where the critter came from — and trust the people who prepared it. As hungry guests arrive, we’re seated family-style in the main dining room, quite a confection in itself. The crimson damask lining the walls matches the upholstery on the chairs. The floor is a checkerboard of black-and-white marble, and

The final course, a combo of bacon ice cream and gingerbread — yes, bacon ice cream — leaves folks quizzical. imposing portraits of former proprietors Lila Vanderbilt Webb and William Seward Webb hang on the walls. For those who like to play at being royalty for a night, this is the place to do it. In an incongruously rustic touch, each table bears a trio of Mason jars and accompanying serving utensils. One jar holds pungent, grainy mustard with whole brown seeds that pop between your teeth. A second is filled with crisp, mildly sweet bread-andbutter pickles. A third contains a pile of impossibly dark purple prunes soaked in Armagnac. (A tablemate warns me that “prunes are prunes are prunes.”) These condiments, all made at Shelburne Farms, go with the first course: an arrangement of charcuterie presented on wooden cutting boards.

Despite the fancy-sounding French name, charcuterie is the most frugal culinary art. It involves collecting fat and scraps of meat and offal that might otherwise be discarded, and using a bevy of preservation techniques to transform them into something that can be stored for lean times — but also tastes delicious. “It’s pauper’s food,” explains Josinsky. In the broadest sense, the term “charcuterie” covers everything from the olive loaf at your local mega-mart’s deli to whisper-thin slices of imported prosciutto. According to our menus, we’re being tantalized with soft and pale cubes of mortadella, a delicate-tasting Italian “bo>> 0 B

logna” studded with pistachios; rustic pork terrine; thin oval slices of dark red coppa, a spicy salami aged for six weeks; milder saucisson sec, also dried; and finally, something called “testa.” Everybody digs in, trying to figure out which item is which, with various degrees of success. Slathering a piece of testa with grainy mustard, I lean toward the man beside me. “This is head cheese, right?” I query, guessing that “testa” is close enough to French tête to be the Italian word for “head.” My neighbor answers in the affirmative, while his wife remarks that she’s glad she ate the testa before finding out what it was. Though

duced by a member of the kitchen staff, and every one has earnestly expressed his passion for the process of curing and cooking the oinker. But when Chef Gencarelli comes out to talk up the tagliatelle carbonara, he hams it up. “If I was ever on death row and they asked me what I wanted for my last meal, there’d be no question,” he says, his swarthy face crinkling in a grin. “I’d ask for a bacon, egg and cheese sandwich . . . If everything works in harmony, it can be a pretty life-changing experience.” After fantasizing about the rest of his last meal, Gencarelli sweeps back into the kitchen, reminding us that the quantity of black pepper traditionally used in the carbonara —a pasta-based version

many flavors of the meat. The next offering, a piece of brined pork loin with a silky sauce made from smoked apples, plus a pile of red cabbage flavored with lingonberries and port, proves a bit tricky for some. While the cabbage and smoky fruit topping get raves, a few diners object vocally to the pork’s chewy texture, wondering whether to blame it on the brine. “It could have been cooked more,” one tablemate suggests. I finish mine and enjoy it, but it doesn’t inspire the same kind of gastronomic lust as the choucroute or the tagliatelle. The final course, a combo of bacon ice cream and gingerbread — yes, bacon ice cream — also leaves folks quizzical. “This is a miss,” reports one skeptic. “It doesn’t work for me.” “I pretended they were pecans,” says another, referring to the bacon nuggets. I eat the confection slowly, mulling over the fact that it shares many ingredients with Chef Gencarelli’s favorite bacon, egg and cheese sandwich. The salined bits of bacon play nicely with the smooth, sweet dairy. I might not try to recreate it at home, but it is fun to eat. The gingerbread, made with rendered

now I know, I pop a piece in my mouth. It tastes strong, but not unpleasant. (Later I will learn that many recipes for head cheese begin with instructions like this one: “Clean the hog’s head, removing the eyes, ears and brains. Saw in four pieces.”) Once the boards have been wiped clean and removed, a bevy of servers swoop in to deliver the salads, moving as if in an arcane dance. They approach each table, position themselves one to a diner, and deliver the plates simultaneously. We receive a pile of mizuna greens with a few thin slices of pearly radish, topped with deep brown, crispy curlicues of pig snout, ear and jowl. House-made mustard rings the salad. Perhaps because the provenance of the bits isn’t immediately evident, people clean their plates. The ear, braised and then deep-fried, is chewy and crisp at the same time, sort of like a rawhide chew for a puppy, but in a good way. Maybe. Acquiring a taste for ear is mildly challenging, but the next two courses prove to be unquestionably delightful. So far, each dish has been intro-

of the sandwich — is “enough to burn your mouth a little.” And he’s right. After the first creamy bite of tagliatelle, my mouth is suffused with warmth. The crisp and salty pieces of guanciale are the perfect complement to the toothsome fresh pasta, and the shredded cheese and egg soothe my smoldering tongue. The serving is small enough to leave me craving just a few more pieces of the meat. Luckily, I don’t have to wait long. The choreographed waitstaff stream from the kitchen bearing plates of an Alsatian dish called choucroute garni. Choucroute is another name for pickled cabbage or sauerkraut, made in-house. Here it’s augmented with a variety of pork preparations: milky-colored and gently flavored boudin blanc sausage with “winter spices”; strong garlic sausage; braised pork shoulder that seems impossibly tender; and fatty belly with a crunchy, scrumptious outer layer. The tender, mildly sour cabbage, enhanced with apple cider, is an impeccable foil to the

pork fat, is spiced just right. After those who don’t mind the unusual ice cream have licked the last dribbles from their silverware, it’s time to rehash the menu. Have we really consumed “the whole beast”? “There were no testicles,” one gentleman notes. “It would take an awful lot of pigs to get enough ‘fries’ for 50 people,” I point out. Other missing ingredients: gizzard, tongue and kidneys. Why weren’t they served? “It gets tough with the organs. People don’t necessarily want to eat spleen or pig liver or heart. The internal stuff . . . you can’t really candy-coat it,” Josinsky opines. “It is what it is, and it’s not for everyone.” He still hopes that, with a little practice, American meat eaters will get over their gag reflex and judge the “whole animal” on its nutritional value — and taste. “If we can just waste a little less food, then we’ll feel like we’ve accomplished something,” Josinsky says. “We want people to be more comfortable and realize that people have been . . . eating this way for a long time.” >

FULL MOON WAXING ZUCKERMAN’S NEW ZONE?

After taking a hiatus from providing farm shares during summer ’07, farmer and Progressive State Rep David Zuckerman says that Full Moon Farm, which he owns with his wife Rachel Nevitt, will rise again in 2008. “The plan is to expand from last year’s 180 shares to hopefully 250,” the ag committee chair explains. “We recognize that this year we put our members and people newly interested in CSAs in a bit of a lurch.” As of next March, the pair expects their farm to get even bigger. If all goes well, that month they’ll close on a 151-acre piece of property in Hinesburg — a big step up from their current modest 14-acre plot. Because they have to start planting well before the closing, they’ll stay in the Intervale through the 2008 season. Even after they move, Zuckerman and Nevitt will maintain their CSA pick-up sites in Burlington. They’ll also keep living in Burlington, at least for now. “There’s no house on this land; there are some barns and other infrastructure,” says Zuckerman of the Hinesburg purchase. So Zuckerman will continue to represent Burlington in Montpelier, at least for now. In four or five years, he says, when moving becomes an option, he’ll need to decide whether to pursue his political career in a new district: “At the time, [whether or not to run] would be something we’ll have to consider.” To use their extra acreage, the Full Moon farmers are planning to branch out into raising animals, collecting eggs and nurturing a few fruit trees. That way, their customers will have easy access to most local components of a meal. But don’t look for Full Moon to compete with Shadow Cross any time soon. “None of this is on a large scale,” explains Zuckerman. “It’s really to expand what we can offer our members and the farmers’ markets.”

FAT FOOD VERGENNES GETS GRAB ’N’ GO

The Fat Hen has been providing Vergennes residents with local produce, meats and cheeses since it opened in 2004. Now they can get whole meals there, too. Owner Heidi Markowski has hired three cooks to oversee the prepared foods section, and in about a week, the store’s small commercial kitchen will feature a new convection oven. “We’ll be producing everything from baked goods to lasagna,” Markowski relates happily. The kitchen staffers “really ramped up” the grab ’n’ go options beginning in August, she says, and are still in the process of testing new and exciting recipes. Current hits include LaPlatte Angus steak and cheese wraps, shrimp salad and coconut tapioca pudding, a customer fave. A hot soup bar, with daily meat and vegetarian specials, is soon to come; eventually, Markowski would love to have a prepared-foods case à la Burlington’s Cheese Outlet/Fresh Market. Markowski is also proud of the way the meat department has grown. “It’s probably one of the most exciting sections of the store,” she boasts. FH butcher Joe Painting “does a lot of custom orders for people if they’re looking for a special cut, like cow’s tongue.” Or just a particular type of steak. Another bonus: If you concoct a unique recipe for sausage, Painting will whip some up for you. Or you can just enjoy the house-made links.

CRUMBS LEFTOVER FOOD NEWS

Vermont was all over the big-time food mags this month. In Gourmet’s “Good Living” gift guide, a

$5 package of Vermont Smoke & Cure pepperoni looks like an amazing value next to other items in the spread, such as a $14 bottle of artisan soy sauce and a $35 jar of pistachio paste. In Food & Wine, West Coast cheese guru Laura Werlin touts a couple of Vermont varieties — Vermont Butter & Cheese Company’s “unctuous” bloomy-rind “Bijou” and the washed-rind “Saraband” from Dancing Cow Farm in Bridport — in a piece on preparing “The Great American Cheese Plate.” There’s also a recipe for an apple cake with toffee crust from pastry chef Lara Atkins, co-owner of The Kitchen Table Bistro in Richmond. F&W didn’t have an Atkins exclusive. Another KTB recipe appears in Bon Appétit’s monthly “Readers’ Favorite Restaurant Recipes” section. This one is for garlic-roasted chicken with fingerling potatoes and bacon. There’s another Vermont entry in that piece, too: sweet potato and ham soup from the Inn at Essex. Readers of the mag who page further will find a collection of recipes by Susan Reid of King Arthur Flour in Norwich, who shows them how to make cranberry-cornmeal quick bread, whole-wheat rolls and “dipping biscuits.” And all three ’zines laud The Tenth Muse: My Life in Food, a new memoir by part-time Green Mountains resident Judith Jones, Knopf editor and cookbook author extraordinaire. A young Jones was responsible for getting a weighty, previously rejected tome by a trio of unfamiliar authors into print. The book, Mastering the Art of French Cooking, by Julia Child, Louisette Bertholle and Simone Beck, would have a profound impact on American kitchens. Meals and wheels? Chris Conn, formerly of Stone Soup in Burlington, recently left the crunchy café to start up a staff-only, mostly organic eatery at Dealer.com’s new LEED-certified Pine Street building. The dining facility, which will serve the company’s 125 employees, is slated to open in November. Conn is in the process of hiring kitchen help and a skilled barista. He plans to bring in local, seasonal veggies from Black River Produce, meat from LaPlatte River Angus Farm and Misty Knoll, and bread from Red Hen and O’Bread bakeries. “I’m going to work with as many local people as possible . . . The [company] president wants to encourage . . . the healthiest food available,” Conn says. His wife, Emily, will make breakfast pastries and cakes for the restaurant in their certified home bakery. Dealer.com will also provide a bunch of ways to work off the calories the Conns supply. Chris cites a gym, a one-on-one b-ball court and a planned full-sized tennis court as a few of the workplace’s amenities.

Tuscan Kitchen, on Shelburne Road in South Burlington, has closed. According to a staffer who answered the phone at the defunct eatery, which was owned by the Reel Hospitality restaurant group, “The building sold.” She believes the structure, which housed Perry’s Fish House before being reincarnated as a Mediterranean resto, “is going to be leveled” by the developer who purchased it. Reel Hospitality spokespeople did not respond to messages at press time. According to the company’s website, any outstanding gift cards may be redeemed at Sweetwaters, the group’s remaining local property. “Please know that we have worked hard to maintain an affordable, locally owned, family-style restaurant on Shelburne Road for the community . . . we have deeply appreciated your patronage and support,” the announcement reads. Since June, a new sushi chef has been dishing up the fish at Sakura Bana on Church Street. Sakura manager Ron Takahashi confirms that “Take” Matsuda, formerly a chef at the high-end Okei in Tokyo, sliced sashimi in New York City and California before moving to Vermont. Have things changed since his arrival? “[The food] is basically the same, but with better presentation,” Takahashi suggests. — SUZANNE PODHAIZER

o the human body, 118 degrees Fahrenheit feels too darn hot. To a raw food enthusiast, it’s just enough. Heat food past 118F, they say, and you start to neutralize many of its beneficial properties. That’s the temperature in any one of the half-dozen dehydrators sitting in Alex Miller’s rented kitchen in Killington. Miller, 25, of Bethel is the founder, owner and opera-

The kid-friendly theme continues on the snacks’ clear, airtight packaging: Miller adorns the labels with fun, whimsical characters, and lends the products names such as Mama Mia Chia Crackers, Ally’s Almonds and Uncle Jack’s Flax Crackers. On a recent afternoon in her rented space in the old Killington Grange Hall, Miller is doing her favorite thing: cooking and listening to music. The radio plays Michael Franti and Spearhead, as Miller — whose baby-blue eyes

She came to Vermont to be their chef and ended up married — to the local guy who was building their house.

tor of True Blue Green Food. Since she started making them six months ago, her selection of raw, all-natural, gluten-free snacks have been gaining fans at co-ops and seasonal farmers’ markets in central and northern Vermont. Raw-food loyalists maintain that the not-even-half-baked stuff contains natural enzymes that aid in digestion, and bacteria that supplement the immune system. Though Miller is in their camp, she’s not a dogmatist — or an ascetic. To her mind, raw food is a healthy component of a balanced diet for the whole family, but it doesn’t have to be a chore to swallow. She tests recipes on her 3-year-old daughter, Helena, to make sure they don’t offend young palates.

match her shirt — tells how she sat next to the band’s manager on the flight back from her native Australia. That encounter landed her a private chef gig in July, when the band came to Vermont to play Higher Ground. “I gave them a box of my product,� Miller says, “and I was like, ‘Put it on the bus!’� Miller has been cooking for more than 10 years; she dropped out of her Sydney-area high school at age 15 to begin an apprenticeship to a chef. Four years later, she landed a job as a raw-food chef at the ultra-exclusive Parrot Cay resort on Turks and Caicos Island, a playground for celebs such as Bruce Willis, Keith Richards and Christy Turlington. That’s where Miller made her Vermont connection,

that you’re basically a servant. I mean, I could be cooking for a lot of people, doing a lot of good, but I’m just cooking for one person. And there’s so much waste, and you have all these bitchy managers telling you what to do.� But cooking for celebrities also paid well enough to enable Miller to start a business that better aligns with her ethics. A central tenet of her mission is the use of local foods and businesses, with the goal of re-circulating money in her immediate community. She gets the apples and maple syrup from Vermont, the organic buckwheat from New York and the seaweed from Maine. Her labels are designed by Burlington artist Sarah Ryan and printed in Rutland.

Ethics can get expensive. “All the vegetables are local and organic,” Miller says, “so I’m paying the farmers top dollar.” The cost is reflected in the prices of the snacks, which range from $5.99 to $8.99 a bag. Though that may seem like a lot for crackers, it’s not making Miller rich. “This is subsidized food,” she stresses. “There’s no labor cost, and I have no health insurance.” And labor she does. Miller puts in six days a week at the kitchen — she’s the only cook — and tours the state’s farmers’ markets. For now, she doesn’t

be bagged and shelved for up to a year. The seaweed crackers are an acquired taste, but Ally’s Almonds are tangy and sweet; they leave an airy, clean feeling in the mouth. Dehydration is the secret to long-lasting natural food, Miller explains, since ingredients like flax seed tend to go rancid with heat. “You’re getting all the benefits from the clean, uncooked fat,” she continues, “and it’ll all just kind of keep going through you.” Digestive euphemisms aside, Miller wholly believes in the vir-

trees, they’ve wiped out the little guys who don’t have the facilities.” The result has almond-loving raw-foodists upset, since they see it as an infringement on their rights. A second example hits closer to home for True Blue Green Food, which is seeking to branch out into the breakfast industry with a muesli product. The cereal contains hemp seed, which Miller has to source from Canada because the DEA has banned its stateside cultivation since 1958. Unlike almonds, hemp is a perfect crop for Vermont — it likes a cool, wet climate, and thrives in rocky soil. That’s why activist group Rural Vermont helped introduce legislation this year that would permit its industrial growth here. The name of Miller’s muesli, Raisin Awareness, plays on the controversy. “I was trying to think: How political can I get with my product?” she chuckles. Even without formal marketing, Miller’s homemade products are gaining popularity. Burlington’s City Market has plans to carry them. Healthy Living is “considering it.” Barre’s L.A.C.E. is one of her best customers: Cashier Bonnie Beede

mind keeping True Blue Green Food a one-woman show, since she’s happier cooking than sitting in front of a computer fielding orders and making deals. “I’m just trying to keep hold of a few good accounts,” she says. After taking a break to explain the economics of smallscale snack-food production, Miller is ready to get back to cooking. The afternoon’s project is making 17 bags of Seaweed Flax Crackers. Big bowls of onions and celery are spread out on a stainless steel counter, with the trusty blender not far away. The rest of the ingredients are flax seed, horseradish, garlic, laver and nori seaweed and raw agave, all of which are organic. Miller, who is lithe and athletic, blends it all together and spreads it on four, square sheets, then cuts it into cracker-sized pieces. Each one gets a rectangle of seaweed in the middle, making the cracker look like the flag of a raw-food nation. Next, the sheets go into the dehydrator for about 24 hours, emerge, and voilà — the crackers, which have a fibrous texture and a spicy tone, are ready to

Re tue of raw, natural food — both physiologically and politically. How does raw food get political? Miller is quick to offer two examples. On September 1, she says, the FDA enacted a regulation requiring that all almonds prepared for domestic consumption be pasteurized. Pasteurization heats the almonds past 118 degrees. They may not be cooked, per se, but they can’t be considered “raw” either. “There were two isolated incidents of salmonella,” Miller says, “and instead of just pinpointing the

says the demand for the True Blue Green Food has increased steadily since the beginning of October, when the store began selling the snacks. Can supply keep up with demand? One of these days, Miller hopes to build a green kitchen closer to her home in Bethel, with a root cellar, skylights and solar power. Chances are that a certain local carpenter — her husband — will have a lock on the job. And 3-year-old Helena can look forward to an expanded role in quality control. >

Batman had Robin, Ren had Stimpy, and Karl Rove had George Bush — or was it the other way around? In any event, the tradition of the sidekick is long and storied. After years spent providing the backline for legendary New Orleans innovators The Funky Meters, bassist George Porter, Jr., drummer Russell Batiste, Jr. and guitarist Brian Stoltz are ready to shed the “sideman� label and come into their own. Collectively known as

Porter Batiste Stoltz, the trio relies on intuition and improvisational skills, developed through years of collaboration, to create the most raucous N’awlins-style groove-gumbo this side of the Mississippi Delta. Catch ’em this Friday at Club Metronome.

RUDI CAN’T DIE . . . ER, FAIL

BEAN SPROUTS

Ska just won’t die. Much like Jason Voorhies, the central character of the long-running horror flick institution Friday the 13th, the genre simply cannot be killed by conventional means. Just when you think it’s been vanquished in a ball of fire or exiled to the bottom of Crystal Lake for the last time, it returns — usually in comically gruesome fashion — to embark on an epic killing spree or do battle with a fellow slasher like Freddy Krueger . . . sometimes in space! Or is that Jason? I can never keep these things straight. Though lacking the supernatural resurrection powers of the machete-wielding maniac, ska is remarkably resilient. Predating reggae by more than a decade, the genre was born in Jamaica during the late 1950s and tends to ebb and flow in popularity. Thought dead in the mid- to late 1960s as reggae and rock-steady rose to prominence, ska resurfaced in Britain in the late 1970s, fueled by the skinny-tie-and-pork-piehat-clad bands such as The Specials and Selector. Ska was once again reborn in the 1990s as The Toasters — widely regarded as the keepers of the flame — led the charge, ushering in the genre’s third wave and paving the way for bands such as Skavoovie and the Epitones, Let’s Go Bowling and MU330. Then, almost as quickly as it reappeared, ska evaporated in a poof of bomber jackets, zoot suits and Moon SKA patches. Well, guess what? It’s baaaack! On life support for roughly 10 years, ska appears to be on the threshold of yet another resurgence, and a local band is getting in on the ground floor. Calling themselves Husbands, the Burlington-based ska-punk quintet is relatively new on the scene, but they seem poised to make — ahem — waves in the very near future. Though they have little in the way of recorded material — a recording session at the newly minted Wasted City Studios is planned for the near future — Husbands have posted a few live tracks on their MySpace page. Fans of Operation Ivy or The Suicide Machines will find plenty to kick up their heels about. Ska purists — if there really is such a thing — will likely appreciate the group’s healthy nods towards genre godfather Desmond Dekker. Skank the night away this Saturday at Winooski’s Monkey House as Husbands deliver an opening set for Montréal-based indie-dance quartet Kiss Me Deadly and Washington, D.C., smartypants Exit Clov.

HUSBANDS

If you were going to book more than 50 bands to play on the same day on the same stage in Burlington, where would you do it? Higher Ground? That would make sense. Nectar’s and/or Club Metronome? It’d be tight, but you could probably do it. Memorial Auditorium? The acoustics suck, but it’s huge, so why not? If you answered Radio Bean, you should have your head examined . . . What’s that? They did what? Really? Sweet Jesus. OK, this just in: Radio Bean proprietor Lee Anderson has a few screws loose. That might not be news to anyone who’s followed his many artistic and entrepreneurial exploits over the years. But this takes the (birthday) cake. Few things aside from dying leaves signal fall’s arrival more

clearly than the annual Radio Bean Birthday Bash. Every year for the last . . . jeez, I don’t even know how long . . . pretty much every band in town has shown up on the first Saturday of November to pay tribute to the tiny hipster haven on North Winooski Ave., and this year is no exception. Fittingly, Burlington’s reigning lords of lasciviousness, Party Star, kick things off at 8 o’clock in the morning. Word on the street is that the band will start partying at 8 the previous night and not stop until after their set this Saturday. Good thing the coffee is free all day. Closing out the night will be Texas-bound psych-rockers The Cush, who are flying southwest for the winter in about a week. Catch ’em while you can. And in between? One word: clusterfuck. I’m not kidding when I say that nearly every band in town is gonna be there, and so should you. The Jazz Guys, Swale, The Eames Brothers, assorted members of Phish — you name it, they’ll be playing at one of the craziest parties of the year. Happy birthday, Radio Bean!

GLOBAL WARNING I know, I know. Global warming is really bad. Unless we reverse our current course, the world is going to end in fiery cataclysm sometime late next week. But come on, 75-degree days in late October is pretty sweet. Even the most ardent environmental doomsayers had to enjoy the recent spate of Indian summer. However, climate crisis is a serious issue, and this is a serious music column . . . occasionally. This Sunday, the national environmental activist group Step It Up is hosting a rally at Burlington’s Battery Park to raise awareness of the issue and challenge our government to take significant steps towards not screwing up the planet any further. I doubt they will listen. But they should, if only for the stellar musicians slated to perform — and maybe the political message, too. In addition to local politicos such as rookie U.S. Representative Peter Welch, Burlington Mayor Bob Kiss and former Vermont Governor Madeleine Kunin, local Americana duo Avi & Celia, folk guru Robert Resnik, James O’Halloran and The Sean Z Band and Inner Fire District’s David Symons and Tyler Bolles — yes, he’s related — are all scheduled to appear and lend their sonic support to the cause. If, by some strange fluke of Limbaugh logic, you’re still not convinced that global warming is real, consider this: The rally is scheduled to be held outside. In November. In Vermont. An inconvenient truth, indeed. �

Jerry Garcia may have passed on to the great noodle jam in the sky, but his musical spirit lives on,

primarily thanks to the efforts of Grateful Dead co-founder Bob Weir and his psychedelic sonic offspring,

RatDog.

Originally conceived as a laid-back blues side project, the group has evolved into a snarling, kaleidoscopic rock band with the improvisational heart of a jazz trio, culling their material from the Dead’s voluminous songbook. Feel the vibe this Friday as they take the stage at Burlington’s Memorial Auditorium.

reviewthis PRYDEIN, LOUD PIPES (SAVE LIVES) (Self-released, CD)

Loud Pipes (Save Lives), the latest album from Vermont Celtic rockers Prydein, comprises both traditional and original pieces. Some are instrumental, while others showcase the vocal stylings of guitarist Aron Garceau. Fans of the genre will appreciate the group’s respect for, and tasteful handling of, the rich musical legacy they draw on. While the musicians’ individual idiosyncrasies provide distinction, their collective approach is to fully exploit Celtic music’s versatility. Toward this end, Prydein employ broad musical proficiency, enthusiasm and a dash of humor, blending Celtic tradition with playfully eclectic modern sensibilities. At times, though, this delicate balance is strained. The band occasionally stalls while venturing deep within the well-worn conventions of the genre. Conversely, they sometimes all but abandon their musical foundation. These are notable lapses given the overall strength of the album. Prydein never sound lazy, but they can sound unfocused. Garceau and Iain Mac Harg, the bagpipe, bombard and pennywhistle player, are mainly responsible for the band’s character and embody the yin and the yang of its sound. Mac Harg represents the traditional elements, both with the instruments he plays and his straightforward style. His skill is apparent and integral. Garceau uses a number of styles to re-contextualize Mac Harg’s conventional elements. Bass player Andy Smith is an excellent liaison between the band’s rhythm section and its stylistic drive. Given Prydein’s sonic duality, Smith is in the unenviable position of reinforcing the material’s Celtic foundation while at the same time abetting the music’s subversion. By and large, he’s successful. But on a number of songs Smith plays too discreetly, as if he’s trying not to compromise, or get in the way of, the band’s dynamic. Vermont music scenesters will be interested to note that Prydein’s drummer is Caleb Bronz, one of those local “Where’s Waldo?” musicians — always playing somewhere. Here Bronz is worthy of the highest compliment one can pay a drummer: He elevates the music without drawing too much attention to himself, or detracting from the other performers. An engaging recording, Loud Pipes (Save Lives) should appeal to Celtic rock fans as well as those interested in how established genres stay vital. HERB VAN DER POLL

SUSANNAH CLIFFORD BLACHLY, COME ON HOME (Self-released, CD)

On Susannah Blachly’s third solo release, Come on Home, the Marshfield musician shows off her talents as both a songwriter and a performer — and even as a composer of Latin-flavored pop. The latter number, “After Rain,” features a sinuous groove cooked up by Vermont mandolin wizard Will Patton. He’s one of many talented guest musicians who makes this stylistically varied disc sound like a party you’d like an invitation to. Blachly tags a number of musical bases on this CD: sweet lullabies such as “Another Day,” which features a wonderful duet with Maple Corners musician Lewis Franco; rollicking, old-timey two-step on “Honey Man”; and down-and-dirty blues on “The Other Side.” Showcasing Blachly’s talents as a storyteller, two songs in particular weave tales that just stick with you. The album’s title track is a heart-wrencher about a woman waiting for her husband to return from war. “Little Butterfly” is a bittersweet tale about setting your kids free to find their own way. As she did on her previous “solo” outings, Blachly employs the talents of guitarist/singer Colin McCaffrey throughout Come on Home. The central Vermont musician always wears many hats, here serving as co-producer, arranger and studio musician. Each of the recording’s 13 tracks is original, though alternate versions of two songs — “Boatman” and “Honey Man” — were recently released on a CD by the Vermont acoustic band Wagtail, of which Blachly is a member. That these songs are repeated gives us a clue into this composer’s approach to her craft: For Blachly, it seems the music is always “in process” rather than frozen in time. The most powerful songs on Come on Home are the ones that sound the least “produced.” They create the impression that Blachly is singing directly to the listener from a comfortable place at home. The aforementioned “Another Day” is a perfect example, and it’s a fine album closer. Susannah Blachly will be holding a release party for Come on Home at one of her favorite venues, the Plainfield Town Hall, this Friday, November 2. You can be sure many musical friends will join her onstage. ROBERT RESNIK

SEVEN DAYS | october 31-november 07, 2007 | music 15B

Going for Baroque Review: Burlington Chamber Orchestra

W

hy is the theater critic slum-ming — I mean, showing up — in the music section? Here’s a little secret: Before arriving at Seven Days a couple years ago, I was far more experienced as a music reviewer than as a stage sage, having covered symphony and opera at the Honolulu Star-Bulletin for three years. I also performed many years as a cellist and a singer. But after this hiatus, I was worried about opining insightfully on musicians. Luckily, the Burlington Chamber Orchestra’s sparkling debut Saturday night at the University of Vermont Recital Hall made it easy. Sharp analytical skills weren’t needed to deconstruct the performance’s success. The near-capacity crowd delighted in the diverse, diverting program, enthusiastically led by Music Director Michael Hopkins. Simply put, the BCO rocked. The new ensemble is the brainchild of UVM professor Hopkins, who also plays bass (string, not electric) and composes in addition to teaching in the music department and conducting the college’s symphony orchestra. In an interview, he outlines the inspiration for founding the group. The first aim, Hopkins says, is “to expand classical offerings� in the Burlington area by drawing on 300 years of rich chamber-music repertoire that local audiences rarely hear performed live. His second goal is to create a group “for professional-level musicians who live locally.� He assembled the BCO’s 20 mem-

THE

bers (19 string players and a keyboardist) by calling Chittenden County colleagues, many of whom run full-time teaching studios but currently lack the opportunity to play in a pro orchestra. Most said yes. As the BCO’s music director, Hopkins took a kid-in-the-candy-store approach to picking pieces for the inaugural season. “To be honest, the programming is music that Michael Hopkins really loves that I think other people will love, too,� he admits. All four concerts on this year’s slate open with a selection from a concerto cycle by Baroque composer George Handel. “I was looking for a theme to tie the concerts together,� he reflects. “And I think that these Handel Opus 6 concerti are real gems . . . and you just never hear them played around here.� Handel’s Concerto Grosso, Op. 6 No. 1 (1739) worked as an accessible and energetic opener for Saturday’s performance. This chipper, five-movement work isn’t cloyingly familiar, as are some of Handel’s “greatest hits.� A refreshing starter, it warmed up the audience for the increasingly complex courses to come. More importantly, BCO’s skillful, airy rendering of the Handel showed why a cozy string concerto is the emblematic Baroque jewel. Hopkins deftly defined the concerto’s dance of contrasts: slow vs. fast; loud vs. soft; solo vs. ensemble. The divine acoustics of the recital hall also reinforced why such 18th-century pearls should only be played by a modest-sized ensemble in an intimate space, and not by a big symphony

orchestra in a large concert hall. This is an axiom of authenticity. Something struck me, however, as I was listening to the BCO’s burnished sound resonate so richly off the gorgeous woods of the UVM venue: I always thought Handel and company didn’t use large ensembles because they didn’t have them. But most 18th-century performance spaces were modestly sized and built of acoustically friendly timber. Hopkins demonstrated why Handel simply didn’t need a cast of thousands. Every nuance and note rang clear in the quietest passages, and yet the sound of the small ensemble swelled to fill the hall magnificently when the music required. The small group’s power became even clearer in the lush, lyrical second movement of the next piece, Edward Elgar’s Serenade for Strings (1892). The gently ascending, melodic passages — led beautifully by the violin section — reflected the rural Englishman’s pastoral side. The Serenade’s relaxed, quiet elegance encapsulated a key BCO strength: Leaving the brass at home lets you hear the Pomp and Circumstance guy in a whole new way. Hopkins’ humorous, informative intros —

which complemented extensive program notes — especially helped with the less familiar 20th-century pieces in the concert’s second half. The director urged listeners to let themselves “be taken along for the rideâ€? on Paul Hindemith’s Trauermusik (1936). Intense, haunting lower strings supported eloquent solo cellist John Dunlop for the reflective essay on mourning, which the composer dashed off in an amazing six hours when the English king suddenly died. The concluding piece, Ernest Bloch’s Concerto Grosso No. 1 (1924), put a jazzy spin on the Baroque form. The orchestra maintained a crisp edge throughout the rhythmically challenging work. BCO’s quartet of concerts will culminate June 21 with an evening featuring the winner of the group’s Young Artist Solo Competition. A Vermont high school student who has auditioned and won will perform a solo concerto backed by the pros. Hopkins envisions other composition and performance competitions for future seasons. The guaranteed winners? Local audiences. For upcoming performance info, see www.uvm.org/bco. ďż˝

rhythm nations In the Bambara language of Mali, jeh kulu means “community.” That social spirit animates all of this ensemble’s offerings: Through dance classes, school residencies and stage performances, the Burlington-based group has been actively enlarging its circles of influence for more than a decade. On Thursday, Jeh Kulu hosts an educators’ workshop, teaching about African culture through a day in the life of an African child, and for the next three days, 15 talented teaching artists from the U.S. and abroad share traditional beats and dances from Guinea, Senegal and Mali. The celebration peaks Saturday night with Inu Sene / Welcome Home, an original “ballet” done in West African song and dance. In Africa, drumming and dancing bring communities together. Why should Vermont be any different? West African Dance & Drum Festival

scene@ GEORGE CARLIN FLYNN MAINSTAGE, BURLINGTON, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 27, 7 P.M.

photo: MAtthEW thoRSEN

If any human being ever deserved to copyright a word or phrase, “fuckâ€? should be George Carlin’s. No single person has explored its many meanings and usages as comprehensively as the 70-year-old comedian, and few, I imagine, have uttered it with such frequency. From “Fuck Lance Armstrong, fuck Tiger Woods and fuck Dr. Phil,â€? his opening line at last Saturday’s performance in Burlington, to his gracious farewell — which, oddly enough, was expletive-free — Carlin expertly thrust and parried his way through an hour’s worth of new material, eloquently wielding the word as if a verbal ĂŠpĂŠe. In Carlin’s hands, “the queen mother of all swearsâ€? is less an obscenity than a tool used to deftly amplify the absurdities of contemporary American culture. He was in fine form, surgically flaying societal conventions with calculated ferocity. From the pseudowisdom of new-age bumper stickers to the illegitimacy of the current presidency to the fallacy of religion, no topic was safe, and everyone — and their mother — was fair game. Like the late Bill Hicks, or even Andy Kaufman, Carlin’s greatest strength is his ability to make his audience squirm. And in between the chuckles and belly laughs, a subtle undercurrent slowly wound its way through the aisles of the stately theater: He’s not talking about them, he’s talking about us. In many corners of the theater — including my own — the revelation turned guffaws into gasps. It was brilliant. Behind Carlin’s veil of blasphemy lies carefully constructed, searing satire. As the adage goes, “It’s funny because it’s true.â€? But there’s another saying, in this case equal in its poignancy: “The truth hurts.â€? Even when delivered with a few well-placed curses. Some artists work in watercolors, others in oils. Some take photographs, others sketch in pencil or charcoal. George Carlin paints his portraits in profanity — in particular the “F-Bomb.â€? And as last Saturday’s performance unequivocally proved, there are few moments in life more compelling or satisfying than witnessing a master craftsman at work. DAN BOLLES

FOUR SCORE The Emerson String Quartet gets regular praise for its technical virtuosity, musical insight and dynamic stage presence. The group borrowed its name from the American poet and philosopher Ralph Waldo Emerson, and one London reviewer hypothesized, “Surely, you think, with musicians like this there must be hope for humanity.” Musical mysticism aside, the New York City-based, multiple-Grammy-winning group is considered the finest chamber ensemble performing today. Middlebury treats the state of Vermont to a free performance of works by Haydn, Beethoven and Shostakovich.

BATTLE OF THE SExES If gender relations are Greek to you, you’re not alone. One of the oldest surviving dramas in Western literature, Aeschylus’ The Suppliant Maidens, dates from about 490 B.C. In it, 50 Greek women flee an arranged marriage to their 50 Egyptian cousins.

Their respective grooms track them down, unleashing comically serious bouts of man-hating and a literally killer plot, though one couple manages to fall in love for real. Better dead than wed? You decide: A courtroom finale airs arguments for women’s autonomy and matrimony. ‘Big Love’

Hit the spot.

SITE SEEING People in pre-industrial cultures may not have had cellphones or washing machines, but they sure knew how to honor awe-inspiring places — spiritual spots that also encompass some of humanity’s finest culture, art and architecture. National Geographic photographer and anthropologist Martin Gray spent two decades on apilgrimage through 80-plus countries to catalogue 1000 such sacred sites, from Tibet’s Potala Palace to the Greek ruins of Delphi. The result: Sacred Earth: Places of Peace and Power, a coffeetable compendium that documents in images, maps and text the beauty and precarious situation of Earth’s most venerable venues. Gray talks ley lines, ancient architecture and standing stones during a slideshow at the Earth Spirit Conference in Bolton this weekend, or you can hear him at Barnes & Noble Thursday evening, for free.

Show and tell.

If you’re looking for relationships, dates, flirts, or to hook-up, this is your scene. WOMEN seeking MEN TAKE MY HAND AND SEE. . . I am a delightful, vivacious, Rubenesque blonde woman of 59. The arts are important to me. Men who are verbally engaging, with a quick and offbeat wit are very appealing. Beyond that, we should be able to share our thoughts, support each other, and walk hand in hand. vermontmusetta, 59, #106923 FARMERS CAN BE HOT, TOO! Student, farmer, ridiculous human being. I love food - growing it and eating it. Especially eating it. Having hope for the future is an essential part of my life. I like to laugh and I do it a lot. If I could see one band live right now, it would be The Arcade Fire. Let’s be friends. farmsnotarms, 22, l, #107092 WHEN I SAW YOU I live part-time with one beautiful child, love language beyond the ordinary, and engage projects that birth hopeful stories. Seeking someone who wants to share in sacred intimacy and world journeys yet adores and creates a beautiful home - or two. You know what makes you happy and feed that. You cook and tend your open mind, love sensuality and the holistic approach. Hummingbird, 49, l, #107082 LET’S HAVE SOME FUN! I enjoy being single BUT feel I’m missing out on the fun times that can be had with the right man. Friends first, then possibly more. . . no rush. I like getting out of town, exploring, boating, fishing, hiking, sunsets, fine dining and more. Sophisticated, but not pretentious. Enjoy the finer things in life but enjoy the simple things even more. Sunnyday123, 48, #107081 FUN-LOVING, AGREEABLE KAYAKER “How could there be a day in your whole life that doesn’t have its splash of happiness?” Quick to smile, love to hug, and generally laugh in the face of small adversities. Think out loud, ask lots of questions. Looking for a guy who likes himself and wants to share some interests (outdoors, arts, travel), dream new dreams, celebrate each day. free2be, 63, l, #107073 BON APPETIT! I want a guy who likes to play and giggle. We’ll climb a mountain or catch a show, check out a hockey game or hang low & create our own fun. I’m flexible, not-so-shy and looking for a guy with whom I can be my vivacious & alluring self. If you can’t get your groove on, you’d better move on. Sunshine_Daydream, 34, l, #107058 IT’S OK... I’M HERE. I’ve lived in Vermont for two years now. I love it here, but I know eventually I’ll get antsy and head elsewhere, most likely out West. I’m looking for a man that I am attracted to, who makes me laugh and is responsible and hardworking while resisting conformity. Pele, 25, l, #107056

HEEELLLOOOO!!!!! Hi. I don’t like games, or people who think others can read minds. I like men who tell me if they like or hate something. I like books, movies, laughing and taking chances. I hate writing this ad, I can tell you that! If you want to know more about me, just drop me a line. Scarlett, 43, #107043 LOOKING FOR A SOUL MATE I’m pretty new to the personal ad scene. Just went through a nasty breakup but am ready to try love again. I’m not looking for Brad Pitt or Donald Trump, just someone who takes me for me. Someone who is intelligent and values education and family the way I do. Is there anyone like that around anymore? beckying, 43, #106989 WELL, HELLO THERE! I like cookouts and sitting in front of a fire with friends and a few beers. Burnt marshmallows are fun too. I am sensual. I like to dance but not to country music. I like cooking for people who appreciate the effort. I like men who are fun and outgoing and secure, and can carry on a conversation. hm429, 44, l, #102869 ART IS WHERE IT’S AT I’m insane but the good kind. I enjoy art and expressing myself creatively. I enjoy the outside and music. Also enjoy having fun and laughing. bird0fpry, 20, l, #107030 HEALTHY, FUN MOTHER OF TWO I am looking for someone with a open heart who loves kids. I enjoy the outdoor-friendly, nonjudgmental type of person who seeks the creative type. tinasnb, 35, l, #107023 VERY SENSUAL, ADVENTUROUS AND SPONTANEOUS Absolutely love to laugh with someone who gets my sarcasm. I love to work out several times a week and enjoy outdoor activities (as well as indoor), such as horseback riding and motorcycle rides. Looking for someone who is physically fit and spontaneous and loves to explore. lovelife24, 42, #107008 STAY OFF THE COUCH. LIVE I prefer to live life rather than watch reality TV. Hiking, good food and wine, kayaking, movies, museums, snowshoeing, laughing and occasionally crying. I believe that we are responsible for our own happiness, that we should try to find a positive view of the obstacles life occasionally throws in our road. cairngorm, 50, #107000 COUNTRY MOUSE SEEKS KILLER CAT Very pretty, fit, long hair, happy, well-adjusted and extremely giving. I’m willing to live with the faults - if that’s what they are - and enjoy the complete package. I’m independent, busy and quiet and have all the time in the world for the Right Killer Cat. judedivine24, 55, #106999 GREAT CATCH! SINCERE, LOVING WOMAN Seeking nice, sincere, honest man who will want to share his life with me. I give my all when I commit to someone. I am thoughtful and expect the same from my man. I am not “high end” but down to earth. I love “family” things. I will support my partner in all he does. vthrgal, 49, u, l, #106996

WOMEN seeking WoMEN

DIRT, FEET, FARMS. I am a student farmer. I like friends, smarts, social justice, biodynamics, and oh, so much more. I don’t like bigots, ignorance, gummy candy, penis and blah blah blah. I value experiences and memories. I love my sidekick, Beet the rabbit, and I like kicking ass in the name of organic farming. Orgthumb, 20, l, #107091 LOVINTOUCH I’m youthful and spirited. I’m passionate about building community, being in nature, and exploring the relationship of body, mind and spirit. I’m interested in dating and dancing my way to finding a woman who wants to create deep, loving, fun, balanced, sexy partnership with me. Care to meet? yes2life, 49, #107088 GENUINE, COMPASSIONATE, SPUNKY, FIRECRACKER I am a loving, caring, affectionate, compassionate, honest person who is looking for the same. I am a very intelligent, hardworking person who wants to experience everything life has to offer. I pay attention to people and think about them as much or more than I think about myself. I love kids and animals. redhead, 34, #101615 WONDERING WHERE SHE IS Looking for the right woman, 40-ish, to build that special relationship that has the potential to last a lifetime - someone who is willing to work together to make that happen. I believe that the 5 C’s make a relationship work: communication, commitment, compromise, caring and cuddling (not necessarily in that order). If these items sound appealing, it’s your move. spike, 41, #107001 ANTISOCIAL EXTROVERT CRAVING CHAOS I’m a workaholic who still finds time to build things, make a little music, drink a lot of coffee and martinis, and toy with the reality around me. Looking for an occasional partner in crime. No fundamentalist Christians. No Born-Again Feminists. No strings. bluemoon, 27, l, #101326 GIRL AND DOG LOOKING Hi, I’m E and I have a yellow lab and we are looking... I am 5’7 with long, dark-blonde hair, hazel eyes and glasses. I’m looking for someone to have fun with and share common interests. And take some walks with me and my dog. I hope you’ll say hi; maybe we’ll each get a new friend. GirlAndDog, 32, l, #106960 COLORADO CLIMBER I like: peace, nature, hiking, climbing, social justice, cooking, children, animals, music, gardening, reading, sustainability. I dislike: hate, drama, gossip, smoking, TV, sitting still too long, factory farms, US economic policies, WTO, NAFTA, World Bank, classism. The person I’m looking for is very independent and also wants to save the world. ssej, 20, u, l, #106920 QUIRKY, ACTIVE AND SLIGHTLY RECLUSIVE Not too long ago I considered myself new to the area. I am now beyond the new phase and would like to meet some people outside of work. I’m game for just about anything. I enjoy playing outside as well as reading inside. I would like to meet someone honest and sincere to share adventures with. Bee, 29, l, #106913 BEWARE: PITBULL LOVER Looking for someone fun who loves animals, movies and coffee, and natural stuff in general, to hang out or go on a random trip with somewhere. Sense of humor would be awesome, especially if it’s dry and witty. DarkTigress, 21, u, l, #106841

MEN seeking WoMEN EVER AWOKEN IN THE NIGHT To find that you’re still dreaming? And before it flashes before our eyes for the last time, maybe we ought to really take a moment to just extend an outward hand, and really *FEEL*. To enjoy these fleeting moments, unobstructed by negativity and ulterior motives. Cause believe me, sister, it’s not what you do, but how you do it. .. da_beat_chef, 28, #107101 CARING THOUGHTFUL INSPIRATIONAL EMOTIONAL ARTIST Hi, I’m 21. In my spare time I love to draw. I love to create. What makes me happy? I enjoy hiking. Reading. Watching movies. Playing pool. Learning about new musical artists. Learning about anything interesting in general. Meeting new people. Sharing experiences with others. Being spontaneous. JayJayAiMeushi, 21, l, #107100 ATHLETIC, COORDINATED, GRACEFUL, HUMOROUS, HEALTHY Seeking companionship and possible long-term relationship for following activities: tennis, skiing (downhill and xc), rollerblading, hiking, dancing, canoeing, fishing, Flynn Theater, intelligent discussion, Maine seashore, playing with grandchildren. Must be into healthy lifestyle and diet and not overweight. Good sense of humor important. tennisski, 62, l, #107079 EASYGOING, HONEST AND DEDICATED I’m 38 years old. I am a hard worker who enjoys spending time with family in my spare time. I love to be outside and keep busy. I am looking for someone special who is laid back and fun. I am interested in a serious relationship. I am dedicated and waiting patiently for someone to share life with. notime4games, 38, #107061 QUIET, SHY AND RESPECTFUL I am a nice guy who works too much and is looking for a friend. lonelyman14, 39, #106942 EASYGOING, DOWN-TO-EARTH Just lookin’ for some fun, friends, passion, etc. Who knows where it will lead... That’s the spice of it all. Smiles, kisses, easygoing, great eyes, hiking, color, Faulkner & Cheever, poetry, classic rock, REM and the Counting Crows can all tell you a little bit about me. Not into mean or shallow people. Independence and someone with a plan are good things. lunablue, 42, #107051 HONEST, FUNNY, THRILL-SEEKER I would like to meet some cool people who share similar interests. I am laid back but opinionated. I have two wonderful dogs that I love playing in the mountains with. Having said that, I also really enjoy an evening at the theater with fine wine and yummy food beforehand at an out-of-the-way restaurant. bski, 36, l, #106950 THIS IS FUNNY This profile is for fun. Put whatever; I will give it a shoot. I think this is going to be a good thing, but since it is Seven Days it would most likely not suck. But that’s OK because life goes on in little Burlington. So I eat tofu to be a cool liberal. I’m a good person because I don’t eat meat. Zane, 22, #107049 OPEN HEART, OPEN MIND Fit, honest, open-minded, intelligent, great cook, good musical ability, informed, wellread, caring, sharing, playful. I’m seeking friends. I want to meet others who are able to open themselves up honestly and are not afraid of who they really are. switchme2, 51, #107025

HUGGABLE, LOVABLE, SUPPORTING I hope there is someone who is interested in meeting someone from NY and not use the lake as a barrier. Willing to travel, as love and affection can overcome any obstacle. I see life as a blank page waiting to be painted and this is no different. Take a chance! You may find me rewarding. Ref49, 54, #107032 MISCHIEVOUS AND INTELLIGENT SEEKS SAME German, Scottish and Irish, and have grown close to my roots. Irish and Scottish joy for life, German and Scottish stubbornness, and the ability to see life through the eyes of all three.

Mistress

Maeve

Your Gracious Guide to Love & Lust! Dear Mistress Maeve, It has recently dawned on me that I have become one of those girls. Now, I know there are several different definitions for what exactly those girls are, but I am of the variety that sleeps with her friends. I hang out strictly with guys. I love beer, baseball and bacon. I am completely comfortable with my boys. Which is probably why they tend to be the ones I get naked with. The problem is, these boys are more likely to give my hair a friendly tousle than a sexy tug. And while the physical stuff can be good — hell, great, even — I tend to have the classic girl reaction and fall a little bit in love. Meanwhile, the guy tends to have the classic guy reaction — as in, he rolls over. Or worse, he expects me to return to my previous role of “wingman” the very next night. But how can I meet someone new when the only opener I know is to punch a guy in the shoulder and say, “How ‘bout dem Sox?” Help, MM — I need a boy that isn’t one of my boyz.

i Spy... Going to Edelweiss? I spy someone else who got the job in Germany at the Edelweiss Lodge. I leave in January and I am trying to meet people in the same position before making the big move. Let’s grab coffee and talk about the adventure ahead! When: Saturday, September 22, 2007. Where: Hampton Inn Interviews. You: Woman. Me: Woman. #902630 Erin I’ve had a crush on you for 7 years. I remember badly blushing at the bar because of the comment you made about the shirt I was wearing. We run into each other every so often. I would like the chance to have coffee with you. I have been too shy to ask you on a date when I see you. So what do you think?? When: Sunday, October 28, 2007. Where: in my thoughts. You: Woman. Me: Woman. #902629 Ghouls Gone WIld You were wearing what looked like a blue shirt, tie, and were binding. You are under 21, with the Xs to prove it. You were dancing with a more femme-y person. I joined. We danced. And kissed. A lot. I woke up thinking about you. I have no idea who you are, but would like to. When: Saturday, October 27, 2007. Where: Higher Ground. You: Woman. Me: Woman. #902628 ghouls gone wild You came up to me and said I looked like I was having fun and asked to dance. We danced again later. It was fun; maybe we could get together sometime. You were wearing a plaid skirt and a black top, I was wearing a shirt and tie with a coat and boxers. When: Saturday, October 27, 2007. Where: Ghouls Gone Wild Higher Ground. You: Woman. Me: Man. #902627

Signed, Bosom Buddy

Dear B.B., I’ve got news for you: You’re a hot commodity! Do you have any idea how many men would give their right arm to meet a girl who can hang with the guys, crack open a beer and watch the game? But you’re never going to hit a home run if you keep allowing your guy friends to make a line drive to your bedroom door. If you’re ready for a more serious relationship, stop sleeping with the pinch hitters (i.e., your guy friends). Unless, of course, one of them shows some genuine love interest in you — which is probably unlikely, when you keep letting lesser players slide into home. And one more thing: Hanging with the guys is all well and good, but it’s time for you to get some single gal pals. Haven’t you seen “Sex and the City”? We need to stick together. Leave the boys in the dugout for a night and take the ladies out of the bullpen. They may not know as much about baseball, beer or bacon, but they’re more likely to help you hit one out of the ballpark.

On deck,

MM
