weeklypost The best of the Vermont blogosphere COMPILED BY CATHY RESMER

Blog: Down on the Farm

BUILDING DIVERSITY I read the Vision Quest article [“Vision Quest,� March 28] with great interest and believe it was very relevant and contained many great points. I recently returned to Burlington after a long absence, moving from what was once a wonderful small and interesting coastal town in southeastern Florida. The town of Stuart once boasted many original and modestly sized old Floridian bungalow homes and a center of historic buildings that had a wonderful and somewhat quirky charm. During the past half dozen years, however, the charm has been destroyed by development. One of the biggest enemies, in my opinion, is the fact that all construction is being directed by a strict local mandate that all new buildings must conform to a standard faux-Spanish, quasi-historical tropical design. The result is many over-scaled buildings, condos and offices that have a couple of arches and a few sections of Spanish tile roofs tacked onto basically boring pastelcolored boxes. These buildings have only a passing resemblance to any true architectural style, and even that is in an almost Disneylike artificial manner. The original homes are being dwarfed if not flattened completely for new oversize construction, and any old original historic architecture is becoming cheapened or dis-

SNOW While I generally try to avoid complaining about the weather, even I make an exception this time of year. It feels like everywhere else is blooming, beautiful spring and we go from mud to this slushy, sticky mess. I think everyone I spoke to this morning was crabby. The generally crabby ones were extra crabby, and even the usually upbeat folks were crabby. It was a crabbiness convention. Which actually cheered me up, I thought, its not just me, everyone feels crabby this time of year. It looks to be gray and sleety for the next few days, but it can’t last. The ground under the snow is still soft and muddy. Pretty soon the hills will turn their technicolor green. I love that.

counted by the fakes surrounding it. It is a significant reason why I left the place behind. History has demonstrated that every town or city in the world that we recognize for its vibrant culture, livability and depth is a result of a diverse architectural mix — the juxtaposition of the old against the new, the past contrasting with the present with an eye toward the future . . . I hope the urban planners of Burlington awaken to the need for diversity — to embrace a bit of risk and richness for the future of this deserving city. Rick Edmonds BURLINGTON

CONSTRUCTIVE CRIT Ken Picard’s article on the merits of architecture in Burlington [“Vision Quest,� March 28] is both welcome and disagreeable. Burlington is a city rightfully concerned with the social condition of our residents, and that concern is reflected in our architecture. We have homeless shelters in historic buildings on Main Street and affordable housing with splendid views by our waterfront. Our city’s architectural priorities are grounded in concern for the wellbeing of our citizens, and that should be a source of great pride. Our fine buildings serve the hungry in the Food Shelf on Winooski Avenue and provide affordable housing on Depot Street. The pedestrian environment of Church Street and the park and pathways along our

waterfront are for the use of all citizens. These are enduring architectural and planning achievements that make for a truly livable city. We value the buildings that provide cultural, work and educational opportunities for our citizens. ECHO Center is an ecologically sound building that interprets our natural resources. The new educational buildings at Champlain College fit delicately within a historic neighborhood. Burton transformed an armaments plant for the making of snowboards, and City Market serves the nutritional needs of our citizens. Our light-filled airport reflects nomadic impulses and displays the creativity of our artists. These are grounded, resource-efficient structures of purpose and endurance. Making good architecture is not a quest for the “cutting edge,� nor can it be compared to the seasonal impulses of fashion designers. “Buck Rogers-like� architecture, while fun, seems to have little staying power when serious design tasks call. We would do well to focus on work that endures and responds to the needs of those who live, learn, work and play here. The priorities of our city are worthy of creative expression and one has but to look with care to see the honest results of that expression. Rolf Kielman

NUKE REBUKE Mike Ives’ Nuke Busters article [“Nuke Busters Lace ’Em Up,� March 28] repeats a common assertion that nuclear energy doesn’t contribute to the greenhouse effect. Consider CO2 generated by uranium mining and refining, plant construction and decommissioning, spent-fuel storage and attendant security measures, including anti-terror costs (for thousands of years). Power derived from low-grade uranium ore may

have CO2 emissions similar to or greater than that of fossil-fuel based power. We all want cheap energy and are still neglecting the deferred costs of nuclear wastes. Let’s not also pretend that nuclear energy is CO2 -free. Evan Stewart COLCHESTER

EARTH WORKS I am disappointed when I miss an issue of Seven Days. These days I often miss them but I’m happy I

didn’t miss two that were of special interest. The first early in March had an article entitled “Funeral for the Second Vermont Republic?� [March 7]. Here was something to add to my tyranny of technology life. I’ve supported the Second Vermont Republic since I heard of its existence some years ago because it has the same vision for Vermont that I have. There is no way any of the people involved could be racist, but with our present technology it is easy to circu-

late all kinds of inaccurate, often untrue information . . . There was also the article “Troop Withdrawal Resolution Politicizes Grief � [March 21]. It was heartbreaking to hear of Lisa Johnson and the enlightened way she is able to handle her grief. I too was shocked at what happened in Montpelier. How could it happen in Vermont? However, I focus on all the good things that are happening in Vermont. I’ve spent a long life — I will be 98 in May — working for the Great Work: putting in place an Ecozoic rather than a Technozoic era. I never thought I’d live to see as much Great Work as is going on in Vermont. Marion Leonard ROCHESTER

FLAT OUT WRONG It is with sincere disappointment that I have encountered Frank Bryan’s divisive and misleading opinion piece on the ludicrous notion of Vermont secession in the Washington Post “Outlook� section on March 31. For over a quarter of a century Mr. Bryan has almost singlehandedly perpetrated an irresponsible and damaging fiction of two constantly-at-odds mythical characters in the form of the new vs. lifelong resident. One has to wonder where his relentless fixation on the so-called “Vermonter� and “Flatlander� personae come from, and why he considers his brand of — humor? — to be more

appropriate in the public forum than the ethnic joke it really is. Since the 1980s, Mr. Bryan has been separating people as if wheat from the chaff, all in good fun, of course, but with the taint of reallife exclusion manifest in the also humorless organization he praises, the Second Vermont Republic [“Funeral for the Second Vermont Republic?� March 7]. That the SVR survived its own recent public relations fiasco due to an apparent association with a Southern hate group is surprising enough. Mounting that dead elephant with his own fake history lesson of Vermont and our alleged “seeds of disunion� isn’t a declaration of independent pride in the Green Mountains. It’s a snottynosed taunt from a schoolyard bully already running away. Given the Bush administration’s proven incompetence in both foreign and domestic governance, it is not unreasonable for rational, patriotic, and free-thinking Americans to consider reviving the democratic process through speech, demonstration and protest. Mr. Bryan’s introduction of the SVR to the national conversation isn’t reasonably any of this. Instead, it’s a watered down David Sedaris piece about watching American films in Paris. Except it’s not funny. Nate Freeman NORTHFIELD

t’s a most interesting week on the Vermont Impeachment front. At 11:30 on Wednesday morning, shortly after this edition of Seven Days hits the streets, a few leaders of Vermont’s “Impeach George W. Bush” movement will meet for “five minutes” with the Democratic heavies of the Vermont Legislature. They’ll be led by a 27-year-old baker/ nanny from Richmond named Liza Earle. The small contingent will make the case that, not only have almost 40 Vermont towns voted in favor of the impeachment resolution (including Gov. Jim Douglas’ hometown of Middlebury), but the Vermont Democratic State Committee voted overwhelmingly in favor of it, too, at its recent state committee meeting. And that vote came after a rousing proimpeachment speech from Sen. Peter Shumlin who at the time passionately rode the impeachment train. “The President deserves to have impeachment hearings,” said Shumlin to his party faithful. “He lied about the war, lied about why he was going there, lied about 9/11 and Iraq’s involvement, lied at every level. He made America the laughing stock of the world.” Hard to argue with that, right? Of course, Shummy was also simultaneously using the delay tactic of claiming that legislative rules required an impeachment resolution had to start in the House, similar to the way it works in the U.S. Congress. When pressed, he said he was having it researched. Well, as Shumlin knew going in, the research eventually showed that in Vermont, an impeachment of the President of the United States resolution could start in either chamber, much like a resolution honoring a state high-school basketball champion. Sen. Shumlin’s next fallback position was to play the perfect gentleman. As everyone knows, Speaker Gaye Symington has never looked kindly on the Bush impeachment matter. She prefers to focus on “important matters.” The Speaker has claimed repeatedly that her chamber simply “does not have the time” to deal with it. Much more pressing items on its plate, she argues. Sen. Shumlin’s next excuse, says Earle, was saying he still would love to do it, but he has to maintain a good working relationship with his opposite number in the House and therefore won’t take any action on the Bush impeachment matter. Such a gentleman! Ms. Earle, the pro-impeachment baker/nanny told us on Tuesday, “It seems like between last week and now, [Shumlin’s] talked to Gaye and she said, ‘You can’t use my name as your excuse!’” Now, it appears both Democratic power brokers are using the “We don’t have time” excuse to duck and dodge at a truly grassroots Vermont effort to do the right thing. Earle dismisses the “no time” argument in about two seconds flat. “There’s no part of the oath they took when they took office that says, ‘I solemnly swear I will support the constitution of the United States if there’s time.’

Closer to Home — The Democrats on the Burlington City Council echoed the current anti-impeachment conservatism of the Democrat leaders of the legislature Monday night by throwing their weight behind a conservative Republican in the race for city council president. State Rep. Kurt Wright, 51, from the city’s New North End, defeated 30-year-old Progressive Tim Ashe 8-6, even though Republicans only occupy three seats on the Burlington City Council.

Sandwiches in Hinesburg. But why, in the Age of Bush II, and in the hometown of both Sen. Bernie Sanders and Democratic National Committee Chair Howard Dean, would the Democrats back GOP Kurt? It all goes back to that night in March 1981, when that screaming champion of “poor people, working people and the elderly� unseated the confident incumbent Democrat by just 10 votes. (In fact, an attorney named Bill Sessions was Bernie’s lawyer that night; he quickly got a court order sealing the ballots for a recount. Now Sessions is Vermont’s seasoned federal judge sitting on the big global warming/auto industry lawsuit that kicked off this week at U.S. District Court in Burlington.) From the moment Sanders took the oath of office as mayor, you could cut the rancor and bitterness in Contois Auditorium with a hockey stick. Council meetings at Burlington’s City Hall meant the Monday-night fights, and they went until midnight.

What explains it? History. Yours truly and Council President Wright go back a ways. When we landed on Burlington’s Marble Avenue in 1979, Kurt had just started behind the counter at Kerry’s Kwik Stop. The Vergennes native is a chatterbox now and he was a chatterbox then. And two years later. in, 1981, when Independent socialist Bernie Sanders pulled off the miraculous upset over Democratic incumbent Mayor Gordon Paquette, Burlington had no shortage of things to talk about. Kurt Wright is the only Republican holding a seat in the Vermont Legislature who hails from the “People’s Republic of Burlington.� And it was back in 1981 when Garry Trudeau gave the city that title in his comic strip in the wake of Bernie’s mayoral victory. Kwik Stop Kurt has been a thorn in the side of the Sanderistas and the Progressives for more than two decades. One reason he’s been so successful is that he’s something of a rare political commodity in these parts: a blue-collar Republican. Even though his Kerry’s Kwik Stop days are behind him, he’s still no high roller; he’s currently employed as a sales rep for Ben’s

The fights were between the Democrats and Bernie and his Independent/Progressive Coalition city councilors from the Old North End. The Republicans from the Hill Section just sat back and enjoyed it. Twenty-six years later, things have not changed one bit between Democrats and the descendants of the guy with the Brooklyn accent who began the downfall of the Queen City’s vaunted Democratic “Old Guard.� Time marches on, and this week’s votes of four of the five Democrat councilors proves it. Ashe the Progressive Loser had no personal criticism of Wright. Rather he said the vote showed “the council Democrats are a conservative group.� He said it also showed how disconnected they are from rank-and-file Burlington Democrats. “The city Democratic Party doesn’t look a lot like the city council Democrats,� Ashe told “Inside Track.� “Basically, every Democrat outside this room doesn’t look much like the city council Democrats.� Good argument? Not to the Democrats he’s knocking. “The disconnect,� said Democrat Joan Shannon (Ward 5), “may be this is not about sup-

No Charcoal Cookouts? — Prog Mayor Bob Kiss made little eye contact during his State of the City speech Monday evening, delivering a 20-minute read from the printed pages in front of him. He was much livelier that morning at a press conference, promoting a campaign to get folks to stop idling their vehicles for more than five minutes. Yes, indeed, everyone’s suddenly out to save the planet from global warming! The Burlington idling ordinance has been on the books since the current president’s father was president, back in 1990. Police Chief Tom Tremblay, however, was not aware of cops ever writing a single ticket. Ad-libbing, Mayor Kiss said the incremental approach was the way to go in fighting global warming. He recalled visiting Los Angeles back in 1969. He heard a news report of a body found under a viaduct. “An autopsy showed there were no measurable lung deposits,â€? said Kiss. “So they knew he had not been in Los Angeles for more than three weeks.â€? Da Mayor acknowledged it was a long time ago, but, he said, “My point is, it really does describe Los Angeles, and it may describe Burlington. We need to do whatever we can to clean up our atmosphere.â€? What’s next, asked yours truly, a ban on charcoal cookouts in summer? Eyes widened. “We haven’t discussed that,â€? replied Kiss, “but we need to take it seriously.â€? Banning charcoal cooking? Summer barbecues? “It might be,â€? said Kiss, “we’d take that into account.â€? Stay tuned. The whole world is changing! ďż˝

IRAQ — On March 31, 2004, four highly trained and heavily armed Americans rolled into the Sunni hotbed city of Fallujah. Sporting Marine-like haircuts and wraparound sunglasses, they drove the armored vehicles typically referred to in Iraq as “bullet magnets� — and landed in the middle of a wellcoordinated ambush. Insurgents riddled their convoy with bullets and torched their jeeps. A frenzied mob dragged their scorched and mutilated bodies through the streets and hung them from a bridge over the Euphrates River. Hours later, the corpses were cut down and torn to bits.

Blackwater: The Rise of the World’s Most Powerful Mercenary Army, which debuted in March at number nine on The New York Times bestseller list, is his first book. It traces the company to its secretive founder: former Navy SEAL and ultra-conservative Christian Erik Prince, who has close personal and financial ties to the Bush administration.

taxpayers — is completely unknown, Scahill says, because no one oversees their activities. Until recently, they weren’t bound by the tenets of the Universal Code of Military Justice. And not one military contractor in Iraq has ever been prosecuted for a crime. Despite the Bush administration’s enthusiastic support of Blackwater and similar private security firms, Scahill says he’s spoken to Pentagon brass who warn that these companies actually pose a serious threat to the military. Apparently there have been incidents in which regular military units came into conflict with private firms; it’s unclear who’s in charge in such situations. Other commanders pointed

If Scahill is correct, no development in the past 40 years has posed as great a threat to American democracy and world peace as the ascendancy of private mercenary armies like Blackwater.

Pictures of the gruesome killings and mutilations of these “civilian contractors,� as the press described them, sent shock waves around the world. Paradoxically, the incident actually helped catapult the men’s employer, Blackwater USA, to its current status as the world’s most powerful and best-outfitted private army. The outfit has contracts worldwide, including an unknown number of “black-ops� assignments on behalf of U.S. intelligence agencies. It now provides personal security services to numerous top-ranking diplomats with the U.S. State Department in Iraq, Afghanistan and other trouble spots around the globe. Like most Americans, Jeremy Scahill only learned about Blackwater after the Fallujah affair, although he’d personally been in and out of Iraq many times between 1998 and 2003. The 32-year-old Polk Award-winning investigative reporter frequently writes for The Nation and “Democracy Now!� While reporting on the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in 2005, he had several up-close encounters with Blackwater’s security personnel on the streets of New Orleans. Though Blackwater was ostensibly there to provide “humanitarian relief,� Scahill contends that its forces functioned as a private army in the disaster zone, effectively doing an end-run around the traditional ban on using military forces for domestic law enforcement. Scahill’s investigative reports eventually sparked a congressional inquiry

(see calendar for details). Like Vermont documentary filmmaker Eugene Jarecki, who wrote and directed Why We Fight, Scahill begins his cautionary tale by invoking the departing words of President Dwight D. Eisenhower, who warned of the rise of America’s military-industrial complex. If Scahill is correct, no development in the past 40 years has posed as great a threat to American democracy and world peace as the ascendancy of private mercenary armies like Blackwater. He claims that such armies reap billions in corporate profits for fighting “shadow wars� with virtually no government oversight, control or accountability. Consider their numbers. According to General Peter Pace, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, approximately 126,000 “private contractors� are now operating in Iraq alone. Scahill routinely calls such firms “mercenary armies,� a term the industry rejects. Reliable stats on how many of them work for private security firms are not available. However, the U.S. General Accounting Office reported last summer that 48,000 of these contractors are employed by private military firms. Of those, Scahill asserts, about 20,000 to 25,000 are armed combatants operating in the field. These soldiers of fortune now comprise a larger military force than Britain’s entire deployment. This means that nearly one in four troops on the ground in Iraq answers not to a U.S. military commander but to a corporate CEO. What these private armies are doing on the ground — whom they’re killing, how many of them are being killed or wounded, what their operations cost

out to Scahill that private armies are depleting the ranks of America’s most elite fighting units, because mercenary firms pay much more than their government counterparts. In fact, the current term for jumping from a traditional military job to a private-sector firm is “going Blackwater.â€? The rank-and-file military exhibits two sometimes divergent views on Blackwater, according to Scahill. On the one hand, some soldiers look up to these elite forces and try to find ways to switch to the private sector when their tours of duty end. “On the other hand, you have these soldiers looking at these guys and saying, ‘They have body armor; they have fully armored vehicles; they get paid in a month what I make in a year,’â€? Scahill says. “‘What message is my country sending me?’â€? Blackwater was so empowered by its operations during Hurricane Katrina that the company recently launched a new domestic wing. Last year, company officials met with Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger to arrange for providing disaster relief in California. According to Scahill, the company now has applications pending for operating licenses in every coastal state in the United States. “I don’t think people realize the extent of this privatization and how central this company has become to keeping these offensive wars going,â€? Scahill says. “But I think this will end up on a lot of people’s radars, whether they like it or not.â€? ďż˝

MONTPELIER — “Family” may not seem like an obvious target for discrimination. But in two recent cases, landlords violated housing laws by indicating a preference for childless renters. The violations appear to correlate with a broader trend of rental malpractice in Vermont. In June 2006, the BarreMontpelier Times Argus and the Rutland Herald ran an advertise-

Since 1968, it has been illegal for newspapers to publish discriminatory advertisements. Elizabeth Wechsler, advertising manager at the Barre-Montpelier Times Argus, did not return a phone call for this story. When asked about the illegal ads, Rutland Herald advertising director Glenda Hawley declined to comment. A federal law passed under the Civil Rights Act of 1968 made it

ment offering a two-bedroom apartment for “two people.” In July, the papers ran a second ad offering an apartment that would be “good for one person or professional couple.” Both ads breached federal and state housing-discrimination laws. The Vermont Legal Aid society filed the first case with the Vermont Human Rights Commission in October, and the second in December. Both were settled in March through mediation. In the first case, a tenant had indicated to the landlord a desire to break a lease agreement. The landlord advised the tenant to screen out prospective renters who had children, and provided the tenant with a newspaper ad he or she had used in the past. In the second case, a housing-discrimination “tester” who met with the landlord was told that the rental unit wouldn’t be safe for children. In the settlements, the landlords — whose names have been kept confidential by the state — agreed to pay $14,000 and $10,800, respectively. They will also attend three-day fair housing training programs and be subjected to a threeyear period of rental monitoring. The tenant found guilty of collaborating in the first case agreed to pay $500 and perform 20 hours of community service.

illegal to discriminate against potential tenants on the basis of race, color, religion or national origin. Vermont added its own “protected categories” in 1987: marital status, age, sexual orientation and receipt of public assistance. In 1988, federal housingdiscrimination law was expanded to include familial status and disability. Meris Bergquist, a staff attorney at Vermont Legal Aid in Springfield, represented the plaintiffs in both settlements. In October 2005, her organization — with the support of the Housing Discrimination Project of Holyoke, Massachusetts — received a $500,000 grant from the Department of Housing and Urban Development to address housing discrimination in Vermont. The two recent cases are the first to be settled since the grant was issued; nine more are pending. “We weren’t aware of the extent of the problem until we were able to do testing over the last 12 months,” Bergquist says. In a housing discrimination test, one “tester” from a “protected category” answers a housing ad, posing as a prospective renter. The results are compared with similar inquiries by testers from non-protected categories.

Housing discrimination is “flourishing” around the state, according to Bergquist. “When you think of housing discrimination as a covert activity, we’re looking at a small fraction of the problem,” she suggests. Stuart Bennett, director of the Shelburne-based Vermont Apartment Owners Association, offers a different perspective. He asserts that, while “most landlords have no objection” to fair housing laws, they tend to “bump up” against the “nuances” of those laws unintentionally. “Fourteen thousand is a lot of money for putting an ad out there that probably wasn’t intended to be discriminatory,” Bennett says. In 2000, the Champlain Valley Office of Economic Opportunity (CVOEO) Fair Housing Project conducted a study of family-status housing discrimination. On the basis of 30 “test” housing inquiries, CVOEO determined that discrimination had occurred in 30 percent of cases. The study also included tests for discrimination on the basis of race and wheelchair accessibility. Rob Meehan, who directs the CVOEO project, estimates that his organization has received between $700,000 and $900,000 over the last decade to conduct education and outreach about housing discrimination in Vermont. But while he characterizes housing discrimination as “one of the most important civil rights laws” on the books, he admits to having seen “people with really good cases walk away” from court proceedings. Meehan points out that the confidential nature of housing discrimination settlements creates a cyclical problem. “We can’t educate people about what happened in the case if people aren’t learning about it,” he notes. “Housing providers don’t know the law, victims don’t know what their rights are — and here we go, around and around.” Bennett of VAOA questions the relevance of the issue itself. “Historically, discrimination is a pejorative term,” he claims. “But you and I discriminate about what we have for breakfast.” �

Want to Promote Prison Reform? Host a Cable-Access Show BY MIKE IVES

BURLINGTON — House Rep. Jason Lorber is not the next Jay Leno. But his new television show promises to turn heads — assuming anyone tunes in. On February 26, Lorber (D-Burlington) launched a new show on CCTV Channel 17 entitled “Correcting Corrections.� The program aims to spark dialogue about Vermont’s ever-expanding prison system. Each segment, which is repeated seven times on a sporadic schedule and podcasted online, features a talk-showstyle conversation between Lorber and notable local activists, officials and former inmates. But “Correcting Corrections� is no polemical rant against the Department of Corrections, Lorber claims. Rather, it focuses on Vermont’s prison dilemma from a “budget and safety perspective.� Vermont spends 10 percent of its budget on corrections, up from 4 percent in 1992, Lorber points out. Plus, he says, Vermont sends 25 percent of its inmates out of state — a practice that drains local

Each segment features a talkshow-style conversation between Lorber and notable local activists, officials and former inmates. economies of jobs and revenue. A 14 percent increase in Vermont’s incarcerated female population during fiscal year 2006 has exacerbated the problem: It costs $72,000 per year to incarcerate women, compared with $42,000 for men. Scaling back corrections spending to 4 percent of the overall budget “would free up $70 million,� Lorber speculates. “That’s a lot of money that could be used to make society safer, prevent crime, or [institute] tax cuts.� True to his holistic approach, Lorber invited Chittenden County State’s Attorney T.J. Donovan to be his inaugural guest. Donovan, a criminal prosecutor, notes of the show, “Any time you raise the public’s awareness about an issue, it’s helpful.� He laments that Vermont spends more money on prisons than on higher education, adding, “I think incarceration is warranted for a lot of people — but we have to start looking at alternatives.� The second show brought together three guests. Cara Gleason is an organizer with Northern Lights shelter, a halfway house for newly released female inmates that opened in Burlington last year. Hal Colston is executive director of the Burlington nonprofit NeighborKeepers, which works on poverty issues. And former Senator Rita McCaffrey now serves as state director of Dismas House, a pair of residential spaces in Burlington and Rutland for released inmates and college students. “It was a good idea to have the three of us together,� Gleason reflects. “In the criminal justice system, it’s important for all the service providers to work together.� Nonetheless, it’s unclear how much impact

As for prison reform, Lorber decided to focus on it only after meeting with House Speaker Gaye Symington, before his first election to the Statehouse in 2004. Now Lorber serves on the House Committee on Institutions, which sponsors corrections-related legislation. In December 2005, he published a report, “53 Voices on Corrections in Vermont,â€? which quoted directly from interviews he’d conducted with corrections officials, inmates and public advocates around the state. David Zuckerman (D-Burlington) is the sponsor of H.441, a bill that would require the Department of Corrections to “offer to register prisoners to vote and inform [them] of their right to vote while in prison and after release.â€? Zuckerman says of Lorber, “He’s really dedicated to trying to improve our corrections system, both [by making] it more efficient from a cost perspective, but also trying to look at ‘Who’s in our prisons?’, ‘Why are they there?’ and ‘Are there ways to reduce the number of prisoners we have by either preventing crime in the first place, or helping [former inmates] become better citizens, so they don’t go back in?’â€? As for “Correcting Corrections,â€? Zuckerman suggests, “I think it’s important to get topics like this out to the public.â€? But he admits, “I don’t have cable, so I don’t get channel 17.â€? Lorber acknowledges that his show isn’t designed to be a “blockbusterâ€? but simply “an effort to make people aware of the problems we have in Corrections.â€? He adds, “It’s important to get the message out.â€? ďż˝

Treasure Found at UVM’s Royall Tyler Theatre BY PAMELA POLSTON

Join us along with o’briens for:

cut-a-thon

Anyone who has a cubbyhole — the kind of basement, attic, closet or crawl space where forgotten things languish for a very long time — understands that cleaning it out can be an archaeological expedition. You never know what you’re going to find, or how old it will be. That’s exactly what happened at the University of Vermont’s theater department a few weeks ago, when chair and scenic designer Jeff Modereger was poking around a longignored storage unit at the Royall

and Gallery Alliance. At this point, Hadsel says, 177 curtains have been found in Vermont; 111 have been worked on. Between roughly 1880 and 1940, when vaudeville and other shows were appearing at town or grange halls, old opera houses and community theaters, these curtains were commonly used to adorn the stage. They are not draperies per se, but rather flat, cotton backdrops often painted with trompe l’oeil techniques to mimic drapes, with a scene of

Tyler Theatre and something rolled up, well, rolled out. “He knew some things had belonged to a previous professor,� says Chris Hadsel, the Burlington-based director of Vermont’s Painted Theater Curtains project. “Jeff called me, we opened it out and, by gum, it was one.� That is, a vintage, hand-painted theater curtain similar to those Hadsel and her crew have been locating in other cubbyholes around the state for the past 11 years. Conservation on the curtains began in 2002, a project of the Vermont Museum

some sort in the middle. The image on UVM’s curtain, signed by artist J. Marto, is a Ben Hur chariot race, which Hadsel says was “wildly popular� in the late 19th century — another was found in Westminster, Vermont. “In this one they’re right on top of you, very up close and personal — the horses are snorting and evil,� she says. “It’s very aggressive, much more dramatic than most curtains; they’re usually pretty pictures or landscapes.� Hadsel says she’s not sure of the curtain’s age — maybe 1920s or ’30s — nor can she be 100 per-

cent certain it’s from a Vermont venue. “But I see no reason it wouldn’t have been,â€? she says. “We knew [late professor] George Bryan liked to go to summer theater around Vermont and was interested in old theaters. I suspect he was somewhere in Vermont and someone said, ‘Hey, you want this old thing?’ and he said yes.â€? Hadsel surmises it came from a town hall. Modereger’s discovery ties in neatly with another bit of serendipity: One of Hadsel’s three conservators, Michele Pagan, is a UVM alum, and she had been invited to give a talk about the theater-curtain project even before this one was found. “UVM focuses on a different department each year for the alumni,â€? Hadsel explains, “and this year it’s the theater department.â€? Pagan, who splits her time between Brookfield, Vermont, and Washington, D.C., is a professional textile conservator who has worked at the Smithsonian and the American Museum of Natural History. She is also “working on conserving the collection of flags at the Vermont Statehouse,â€? says Hadsel. The Ben Hur curtain has been cleaned and hung in Royall Tyler, where it will stay through alumni weekend in June, Hadsel explains. “After that, I’ve arranged to take it to the Statehouse downstairs conference room for a month. We will have a statewide treasure hunt — unless we find its home before then. My hope is,â€? she concludes, “we’ll find the home stage and, with a certain amount of ceremony, will take it back. UVM will get recognition as the donor.â€? For more information about Vermont’s Painted Theater Curtains, visit www.vmga.org. ďż˝

If you got a glimpse of disaster in your near future, would you live your life differently? That’s the intriguing question posed by First Snow, an indie film written by Hawk Ostby of South Burlington and his L.A. collaborator Mark Fergus. It premieres in Vermont this Friday, at Merrill’s Roxy Cinemas in Burlington. Ostby and Fergus were on the team that scripted last year’s acclaimed dystopian drama Children of Men, which netted them an Oscar nomination for Best Adapted Screenplay. First Snow is their first film with Fergus as director. Shot in 2005, it evolved from an idea the pair had been nurturing since their days as struggling writers in New York City. “We were just trying to write for the market,� recalls Ostby, on the phone from Lone Pine, California, where he and Fergus are working on the set of Iron

DANCE

Improv Work-in-Progress Takes Volunteers Back to the Future

EVERYTHING ON SALE!

'

BY MARGOT HARRISON

On Easter Sunday, Hinesburg dancer and choreographer Selene Colburn held a work session for a new piece called “The History of the Future� in the Flynn Center’s Chase Family Dance Studio. Colburn, 38, is the recipient of the spring 2007 N.A.S.A. grant — for “New Art Space Assistance� — which “provides Vermont artists with development time in which to create new and meaningful work,� according to the Flynn website. Colburn, who works as an assistant library professor at UVM, has a long history in the dance world, including performances of her own compositions at the Flynn and the Bay Area Dance Festival. For this creation, though, she’s seeking the participation of nonprofessionals, volunteers from the community, to “aid in the development of improvisational movement forms.� Just what is “The History of the Future�? In her application for the N.A.S.A. grant, Colburn explains that it’s a common business exercise in which managers are asked to imagine the future growth of their company in detail, starting from a posited end-point. She hopes to find a counterpart to this imaginative process in semiimprovisational dance, asking, “What happens when the end is in sight, but the beginning has yet to be undertaken?�

For a long time my work was very aggressive and acrobatic . . . I’ve been thinking about how to make it more sustainable. SELENE COLBURN Reached by phone a few days before her first rehearsal, Colburn says she’s “eager to get in there and start hacking around with the material.� She plans to start the volunteers off with simple improv exercises that end with everyone performing the same movements in unison, explaining, “Really what I’m trying to do is create structures everyone can participate in that have an element of improvisation.� Colburn is particularly interested in “the mechanics of lifting and weight-bearing stuff,� she says. Though she stresses that the work is in the experimental phase, she envisions a group performance that consists of “a wave of people clambering over each other.� In her grant application, Colburn notes, “Since my last public performance in 2004, I’ve experienced a serious injury that led to back surgery, and given birth to two children.� On the phone, she explains that the changes in her body have required her to rethink her approach to dance: “For a long time my work was very aggressive and acrobatic, very physically demanding and, I guess, almost masochistic in some ways. I’ve been thinking about how to change my practice and make it more sustainable.� In addition to working with a group in “The

'

History of the Future,� Colburn says she’s “making a solo for myself that plays with some of the same ideas. I’m trying to figure out what that would be like for me now.� After a residency that includes six hours of studio time per week for 10 weeks, Colburn’s work-inprogress will premiere on June 17. She hopes to hold further “sitespecific stagings� in the summer — “like on top of a mountain, or in a soccer field.� Eventually,

Colburn says, the dance may become part of a larger project that could include documentation by local filmmakers Bill Simmon and Rob Koier. For now, though, Colburn is recording her progress on the Flynn’s new blog — www.flynncenter.blogspot.com. And she’s still seeking volunteer participants who are “observant and committedâ€? but need not have dance training. Contact her at selene.colburn@uvm.edu. ďż˝

Hahn, 53, is a musician, writer and journalist who lives in Barton. He writes a fishing column for Outdoors magazine and has published books with the New England Press. On April 1, he premiered his first film at the Middle Earth Music Hall in Bradford. Hahn calls Green Mountain Shuffle “an offbeat love story, set in the mountains of Vermont.â€? To create it, he borrowed technical equipment from NKT-TV, Newport’s cable access station, and advertised for actors in Veronica Lopez’s Theater Notes. The villain is played by Hahn’s friend Derek Campbell, a musician and glassblower in Lyndonville, who also recorded the soundtrack. That’s an integral part of the movie for Hahn, who performs regularly with the Michael Hahn Band. “Rather than having plot and putting in background music, I took some songs and created a plot to fit the music,â€? he says. Green Mountain Shuffle screens on April 14 at 2 p.m. at the Essex Outlet Cinema, and on April 28 at 2 p.m. at the Barton Memorial Building. ďż˝

Dear Cecil, Is there any proof that breast-feeding is better for a baby than formula or vice-versa? Benefits of breast-feeding are said to include bonding between mother and child, and the fact that the mother is passing immunities to her child through her milk. The main arguments I have heard for formula are that the vitamin content is just right for the baby, whereas breast milk lacks nutrients a baby needs such as vitamin D, and that formula digests more slowly than breast milk so the baby sleeps longer. Collin Rodolitz, New York, New York Interesting subject, Collin. Most arguments against breast-feeding, including the ones you mention, are so feeble they barely need refuting. What numbskull could believe a process that sustained our mammalian ancestors for 200 million years is missing vital nutrients? Or that breastfed babies don’t sleep enough? But the lameness of these objections obscures an important truth. While medical experts are virtually unanimous in agreeing breast-feeding is best for most babies, it’s not best for all. For centuries mothers unable to breast-feed have used animals’ milk instead, cow being the most common due to its availability. Unsurprisingly, none is as good for a human baby as its mom’s. Research has shown breast milk contains levels of protein and lactose better suited to infants, promotes the growth of helpful bacteria in the digestive tract, and passes along protective antibodies. True, breast milk is low in vitamin D, but in normal circumstances infants synthesize their own with the help of sunlight. Granted, circumstances aren’t always normal. Doctors began recommending vitamin D supplements in the 1990s after medical journals reported increasing numbers of U.S. and Canadian babies with rickets, a bone disease caused by vitamin D deficiency. On closer investigation, virtually all the afflicted kids (a) were of African or Asian ancestry with dark skin, (b) had minimal sun exposure, and (c) were breast-fed. But let’s use a little common sense: While breastfeeding rates were rising at the time, this isn’t so much a milk problem as a sun problem. Skin pigmentation blocks sunlight, meaning infants with more of it need to spend more time outdoors to make enough vitamin D, which in the North American winter can be hard to arrange. Alarmism over skin cancer confuses matters further. Yes, babies have sensitive skin, and no, you shouldn’t let them fry, but they do need some sun. A readily identified subset of breast-fed babies arguably needs vitamin D supplements too, but it’s absurd to suggest they all do. None of this, in any case, is an argument for replacing breast milk with formula. Attitudes about formula, which first became available in the 1860s, have changed dramatically over the years. Before 1920 about 80 percent of mothers breast-fed; by the late 1950s the rate had dropped to around 20 percent. Formula feeding was treated as a scientific process, with detailed schedules, weighing the infant before and after feeding, and heavy doctor involvement.

But advocacy groups such as La Leche League, founded in 1958, resisted the trend, and research showed they were right. Breast-fed babies have a lower risk of postneonatal death, higher resistance to infectious diseases, less chance of developing Type 1 or 2 diabetes, lower incidence of obesity, and possibly higher intelligence. Mothers benefit from breast-feeding as well, with studies showing reduced postpartum obesity, reduced risk of breast cancer and type 2 diabetes, and of course emotional bonding. Breast-feeding enjoyed a resurgence starting in the 1970s, and eventually the World Health Organization, the American Academy of Pediatrics, the British National Health Service and most major child welfare and development organizations acknowledged it was the best way to nourish an infant. Nowadays about 70 percent of U.S. children are breast-fed at birth, close to the worldwide average, and about 33 percent still are at six months. Still, there’s such a thing as taking enthusiasm for breastfeeding over a cliff. Standard medical advice nowadays is that babies should be exclusively breast-fed for the first six months of life, with no formula supplement. Good luck trying to do that and simultaneously hold down a job. (Sure, expressed milk means others can help with meals, but I have personal knowledge that newborns occasionally fed formula will survive.) More to the point, some women can’t breast-feed — maybe 5 percent suffer from insufficient milk syndrome. A woman who can’t produce enough milk but tries to breast-feed exclusively anyway can starve her child; some deaths have been reported. That’s not to say you should give up on breast-feeding if the first couple attempts don’t go well, but you do need to monitor weight, diaper filling and overall health, and ignore dimwitted advice if the baby fails to thrive. Admittedly, sensible breastfeeding isn’t made easier by bizarro attitudes in the U.S., where the female breast is routinely displayed for commercial purposes but you risk society’s wrath if you publicly suckle your kid.

Not only does this Gothic little town have two unsolved killings and a possible potato-reeking specter, but the idealistic New Hope community turns out to have hosted a soap opera’s worth of sexual entanglements. teen Kate was an outcast of a different kind: She and her mom came to Vermont to join an off-the-grid commune called New Hope, just up the hill from the Griswold farm. The novel is split between flashbacks to this period and a narrative set in 2002, when Kate returns from her home in Seattle to care for her mother, who has Alzheimer’s. On Kate’s first night back in town, a local girl is slain in a manner identical to Del’s unsolved murder. Opal, a child of the commune where Kate’s mom still resides, thinks she saw a white-robed phantom fleeing the scene of the crime. Nicky, Del’s

older brother and Kate’s childhood crush, is also inclined to believe in ghosts. Kate is skeptical. But when she finds a relic of Del tucked in her purse — a toy sheriff ’s star that hasn’t been seen since the original murder — she begins to wonder whether someone is haunting her, or simply trying to frame her for the new crime. Perhaps someone knows the secret Kate never told for fear of social ostracism — that she and the Potato Girl were “blood sisters.” From its first chapters, Promise Not to Tell promises to be the sort of thriller that gets under your skin. Not only does this Gothic little town have two unsolved killings and a possible potato-reeking specter, but the idealistic New Hope community turns out to have hosted a soap opera’s worth of sexual entanglements. Finally, Kate faces a more mundane threat: Her mother, in the throes of dementia, wreacks havoc when she’s not locked in her room at night. Good suspense novels play on real-life fears, and McMahon gives herself many opportunities to do just that. Her technique lets her down, however. The novel’s greatest flaw is that the narrator, whose name asks us to see her as a cipher, insists on spelling everything out. She has a bland, chatty voice and a penchant for clichés, as when she explains the reasons for

her divorce: “My ex-husband, the successful cardiologist, broke nearly as many hearts as he fixed.” Time after time, a passage that could have been intensely creepy if it were narrated straight goes flat because Kate has to tell us how to read it. “It was in that moment that my subconscious fears came crashing forward into my conscious mind,” she announces portentously at one point. Part of the novel’s suspense comes from the possibility that Kate’s voice isn’t reliable. But McMahon doesn’t show that she has the skill needed to maintain such ambiguity. The Alzheimer’s subplot, which raises the

disturbing possibility that Kate is poised to discard her mother the way she disowned Del, is too easily resolved. There’s nothing surprising about the novel’s final twist, and some climactic scenes have a hokey, B-movie quality. That’s too bad, because the obdurately real character of Del will stick with the reader after the plot has gone through its paces. McMahon is devastating when she paraphrases the town’s view of the murdered girl: “What fate could you expect for a girl like Del — dirty, mouthy, running wild all the time, probably half-retarded?â€? With her “desperation masquerading as charisma,â€? the Potato Girl defines “scapegoatâ€? — in myth and legend, a ritual sacrifice that brings communities together. Kate’s narrative gives her back her humanity. ďż˝

From Promise Not to Tell:

“Just listen, will you?� [Nicky] eyed me impatiently. Satisfied by my silence, he leaned forward and continued, his voice low and secretive. “There were no potatoes in the house. Not a single one. Artie hated them. Wouldn’t let his wife buy ’em. But when the coroner did the autopsy, he found a chunk of raw potato lodged in Artie’s windpipe.� I laughed again. “And I suppose you saw the coroner’s report? Or better yet, you talked to him yourself?� Nicky’s face reddened a little. “Nicky, he probably had a heart attack. But that doesn’t make for good storytelling, so little by little, the tale of his death got embellished. That’s the way it is in this town. Even the craziest rumor becomes fact by the time it gets to the third set of ears.� “No, it wasn’t a heart attack,� Nicky affirmed. “He choked to death. His wife even said so. They ruled it an accident, but a lot of folks know better. I know better. The son of a bitch was murdered.� “Murdered by whom exactly?� I asked. “Oh, come on, Kate. Do I have to spell it out? First Artie and the potato, now Ellie’s daughter in the woods, killed the exact same way Del was. It’s her, Kate. It’s got to be her.� I wasn’t following. Or maybe I didn’t want to follow. Not going down that road, no sir. Not me. “What are you talking about, Nicky? Her who?� “Del.� I paused a moment before saying anything. I thought about the stories I’d grown up hearing, how they got more tangled every year. Through her murder, Del took on mythic status. Three decades of kids had grown up not being able to say when New Canaan had been incorporated, or the name of the tribe of Native Americans who called the whole valley home first, but they all knew the Potato Girl stories. The jump rope rhymes. The jokes. Kids at slumber parties would sit in front of a mirror in a darkened room, chanting Potato Girl, Potato Girl until she appeared, sending them screaming for the light of day. Del would have loved it, of course. Relished her power to inspire fear. But to propose that these stories were real? That there really was a Potato Girl — Del back from the grave — who haunted the woods, seeking revenge, actually killing people. Did they believe in the Headless Horseman, too?

LEOPOLD

MAYOR BOB KISS AND JONATHAN LEOPOLD

WHO’S REALLY RUNNING THE CITY OF BURLINGTON? by Kevin J. Kelley Bernie Sanders was “really disappointed,” Jonathan Leopold remembers, when the then-mayor of Burlington learned that his trusted city treasurer was no socialist. “Socialism is a great idea, Bernie,” Leopold says he told Sanders in the early days of Burlington’s progressive era. “But it just doesn’t work in practice.” A combination of idealism and pragmatism has long characterized Leopold’s approach to governance. And 17 years after the bow-tied Vermont WASP from Buffalo, New York, and the wooly-haired Brooklyn Jew ended their triumphant run as the Odd Couple of Burlington politics, he’s back — in the job he held previously for eight years.

representing Ward 5 on the City Council, agrees that Leopold appears to be the dominant of the two. Not everyone is OK with that. But of more than halfa-dozen sources who were in some respects critical of Leopold’s performance, only a couple were willing to say so on the record. Political relationships tend to be overlapping and long-lasting in a city as small as Burlington, which results in a reluctance to name names. One well-known figure, requesting anonymity because of his ties to both of the principals, observed: “Jonathan’s running the city but no one elected him.” Another well-placed official, who agreed to be identified only as a member of the administration of former Mayor Peter Clavelle, sees a certain parallel

There’s a broad consensus that Jonathan is the guy who’s in charge. KURT WRIGHT Unlike the last time around, though, Leopold is no longer viewed as playing a supporting role in the City Hall show, but as the star. Many political insiders suggest it’s Leopold who really runs the city, with Kiss as his understudy. “There’s a broad consensus that Jonathan is the guy who’s in charge,” comments City Council President Kurt Wright, a Republican first elected to represent the New North End in 1995. “The mayor makes the final decisions, I’m sure, but it seems like Jonathan runs the day-to-day operations while Bob stumbles in and out of controversies.” Many Democrats, and even some Progressives, discreetly second Wright’s review of the Leopold-Kiss partnership. Joan Shannon, for example, a Democrat

between the Kiss and Bush teams. In an email message, this source likens the two administrations “not in terms of moral equivalency but in behavior and style — a weak, perhaps ill-suited leader surrounded by zealots who skillfully manage the release of information while claiming openness and operating with scant regard to the human element of governance.” Leopold and Kiss jointly deny that’s how things are, although each acknowledges that the mayor looks to Leopold for guidance on financial issues. “Bob Kiss is very different in style than a lot of executives I’ve worked under,” Leopold says of his putative boss, a politician who still maintains an almost-invisible public profile a year after winning office. “He’s very bright,” Leopold adds in regard to Kiss. “He’s slow in making judgments, very open-

minded and respectful that he’s on a learning curve.” Kiss, for his part, suggests that “those questions of style are only questions of style.” Pols and pundits who see him as his treasurer’s understudy “don’t understand how government works,” Kiss continues. “The mayor is the CEO. Jonathan’s not going to do anything I disapprove of. We work together, and I do have a good understanding of the budget.” The city’s $219 million ledger holds secrets that only characters with the fiscal acumen of Dickens’ Dombey are able to unlock. Leopold knows his way around all the crannies of Burlington’s budget, and he’s equally well acquainted with the obscurities of the $120 million city employees’ retirement fund. He’s been burrowing into both documents during the past year, unearthing solutions to what he says were the “daunting” financial problems the Kiss administration inherited from seven-term mayor Peter Clavelle. Having worked pre- and post-Sanders as an investment manager and financial consultant, Leopold loves what he’s doing and is widely regarded, even by his political enemies, as very adept. But in a recent pair of interviews in his corner office on the second floor of City Hall, the 57-yearold numbers maven insisted he sees budgetary expertise as only a means toward achieving higher ideals. Money powers government at every level, Leopold points out. Understanding its mechanics in the public realm enables progressive-minded politicians to translate windy rhetoric into concrete programs that produce tangible improvements in real people’s lives, he explains. Leopold says he learned at the outset of his career that “if you want to understand how government works, you have to follow the money.” His mentor in this matter was Doris Fraser, whom Leopold describes as a “brilliant” financial analyst who helped revamp Massachusetts state government in the early 1970s. At the time, Leopold had just graduated from the University of Vermont, and was working as a legislative staffer. His job was to study the recently enacted federal revenue-sharing law; more than three decades

benefits. He’s also not looking for a Band-Aid but for a long-term fix.” Others are less laudatory of Leopold, whose style they see as disingenuous. Both he and Kiss put emphasis on inclusiveness. The administration has expanded citizen advisory roles on city financial matters, saying they seek recommendations from all parts of Burlington’s body politic. But that’s just a ruse on Leopold’s part, charges a left-leaning former city councilor. “Jonathan’s not a team builder,” says this figure, who declines to be identified because of his continuing ties to City Hall. “He has some difficulties listening to people who might have ideas different from his own. And I’m not sure Jonathan has the ability to show people they’re a respected and important part of Burlington’s government team.” This former councilor says some city employees have left meetings with Leopold in tears “because he berated them and belittled them.” This inference of arrogance is echoed by many of Leopold’s critics. But in both recent interviews, the treasurer and chief administrative officer came across as more self-effacing than self-aggrandizing. His enemies’ rejoinder, however, is that Leopold is simply skilled at gulling credulous reporters. For his part, Leopold does take credit for what he says is recent progress in devising sustainable ways to keep the city’s promises to future municipal retirees. To illustrate some of the intricacies of his strategy, Leopold sketches a graph on a dry-erase board in his office. It’s a professorial moment. But he doesn’t lecture so much as explain. Leopold has been in the public arena long enough to develop political finesse and media-spinning skills to complement his fiscal wizardry. He says he learned from Sanders to rely on unconventional wisdom in order to prove that “you can have a government that’s progressive and that also follows good business practices.” Sanders was constantly urging his appointees to be imaginative in carrying out a progressive agenda, Leopold says. His own role as chief budgeteer became crucial as the mayor struggled in the early 1980s to implement his program despite hostility on the part of Burlington’s Democratic old guard. Its members had retained control over the city’s still-powerful commissions and were frustrating the vanguard’s efforts to introduce a new order. The Sanderistas wriggled out of that death grip by making the budget a more autonomous instrument, Leopold relates. As a result of reforms they introduced in the city’s accounting procedures, for example, Sanders and Leopold uncovered a $1.9 million budget surplus. About $200,000 of that sum was used to seed the Burlington Community Land Trust, itself an innovative response to the perennial shortage of safe and affordable housing. Two years after its launch, the land trust won a United Nations award as a leading international housing initiative, Leopold points out. He’s just as eager to discuss the ways Burlington maneuvered through the esoterica of sewage-treatmentplant funding during the Reagan administration. Let’s just say the city devised a financing method that, according to Leopold, became a national model for minimizing the local cost of water-pollution control.

When Sanders judged his time to be up at City Hall, Leopold was widely viewed as the heir apparent. But Clavelle, then director of the city’s Community and Economic Development Office, made clear that he intended to run for mayor in 1989. Some veterans of Burlington mayoral campaigns say that Leopold resented Clavelle’s intervention and that Clavelle, a self-described Winooski river rat, disliked Leopold’s patrician manner. Since then, the two have not exactly been the best of buddies.

But Leopold says he tentatively offered himself as a mayoral candidate in late 1988, only as a tactical maneuver intended to leave the way clear should Sanders change his mind and decide to seek a fifth term. The prospect of holding a powerful elected office “has never appealed to me,” Leopold says now. Besides, by 1989 he was exhausted from having worked up to 80 hours a week for the previous eight years, Leopold adds. Plus, “my kids were still young then. I didn’t want to keep living that way.” Leopold’s living “that way” again. His old job, to which he agreed to return, remains all-consuming. Leopold worked hard to get Kiss elected, too, even taking part in what some campaign pros regard as the humiliating practice of waving signs alongside busy streets. Leopold supported the former director of the Champlain Valley Office of Economic Opportunity because, he explains, “I believed very strongly his management experience with CVOEO was much more appropriate a quality for the next mayor.” Again, Leopold takes pains not to criticize a key political player — in this case, State Sen. Hinda Miller, the Democrat who lost a mayoral race that many Burlingtonians were sure she would win. Leopold wasn’t among them. “I thought people were underestimating Progressives’ chances of winning,” he says. “I always believed a good Progressive candidate could win. And Bob Kiss was a good candidate.” MAYOR BOB KISS

later, he still — without prompting — identifies as PL 92-512. Equally formative in his political development, Leopold notes, was the eulogy Sen. Edward Kennedy delivered in June 1968 for his slain brother, Robert. Leopold recalls Teddy closing with the quote most closely associated with Bobby: “Some men see things as they are and say, ‘Why?’ I dream things that never were and say, ‘Why not?’” Those were words that shaped his life, Leopold says. “For me, the response was to get involved in government and to make a difference in that way.” Today, he’s applying his skills to the challenge of preserving the principles and the programs that have transformed Burlington during the past 25 years. Leopold was there at the dawn of the Sanderista revolution, flush with the thrill of pioneering progressive municipal governance in America. And although that thrill is gone, he’s back at the center of the action as a new Progressive mayor strives, in Kiss’ own words, to “keep balancing budgets while putting people first.” Leopold is careful not to criticize either Clavelle or Brendan Keleher, his predecessor as treasurer. Both the city budget and the employees’ retirement fund were in shaky shape when he and Kiss took over, Leopold does say, adding that the Clavelle administration recognized the problems — if not their full dimensions — and sought to address them. Leopold describes the situation that awaited the Kiss team in this way: “A retirement system in serious trouble, a budget in serious trouble, four union contracts not settled and a grand list that wasn’t growing. It was a fiscal version of a perfect storm.” Leopold adds that during last year’s mayoral campaign he told Kiss, half-jokingly, that given the city’s financial condition, defeat wouldn’t be such a bad outcome. “I said, ‘If you do lose this race, you won’t regret it,’” Leopold recalls. He notes, however, that Clavelle did respond effectively to the city’s budget gap by winning approval for a local sales tax that prevented the shortfalls from reaching crisis stage. “Peter Clavelle doesn’t get full credit for seeing things through,” Leopold says. “A lot of mayors might have walked away and said, ‘It’s not my problem anymore.’” But even after the 2006 Burlington mayoral election, he adds, “Peter was in Montpelier to lobby for the charter change that permitted the sales-and-use tax to take effect.” Neither Clavelle nor Keleher would comment for this story. But sources who are close to both — and do not want to have their names associated with criticisms of the current treasurer — suggest that Leopold is overdramatizing the budget issues he inherited while characteristically presenting himself as a shining savior. One former city official cites the example of Leopold claiming credit for restoring balance to Burlington’s budget, but failing to note that an unexpected infusion of revenues from the city’s electric department helped to make that possible. However, even some defenders of the ClavelleKeleher record do acknowledge that the City’s retirement fund was heading toward difficulties in meeting its fiduciary obligations. And Leopold wins high praise from financial experts for his efforts to save money by reforming the fund’s management and to goose the rate of return on the fund’s investments. “Jonathan is adroit at making creative proposals and challenging the board to make sensible decisions,” says Donald Horenstein, a member of the Burlington Employees’ Retirement System board. “He’s been able to bring people together regardless of whether they have a sophisticated financial background. My sense is we’ve accomplished more since Jonathan joined the board in 2006 than in the previous three years that I’ve been serving,” adds Horenstein, a retired Wall Street investment analyst. Karen Paul, who started her own money-management business in 1988 and sold it last year to Key Bank, agrees that Leopold has “a desire to find creative solutions to the retirement system’s challenges.” A member of the city’s pension task force, Paul expresses admiration for Leopold’s approach, which, she says, “isn’t to say we’ll raise taxes or give employees less

Leopold insists he wasn’t angling for his current job when he went to work for the Kiss camp. He had been spending two weeks a month in the Bahamas helping his son with a diving-business venture, and was not eager to loosen that family tie or to spend entire winter months in northern Vermont. But when Kiss offered him the post, Leopold accepted. Both Mayor Clavelle and Chief Administrative Officer Keleher would be leaving at roughly the same time after having acquired considerable skill in their respective posts, Leopold says he reasoned at the time. “There would be a new mayor coming in with no direct experience,” he says he further reflected. “And I thought I could bring some experience in regard to what needed to be done.” Which returns the narrative to its opening question: Is Leopold actually running the city while Kiss serves in a figurehead capacity? Here’s more from Kurt Wright: “With Peter Clavelle, regardless of our political differences, I always knew he was the mayor, he was the guy, he was the leader. It’s not like that with Bob.” Kiss and Leopold will get the last words, however. “People may well mistake Bob’s quiet style for not being engaged,” Leopold says. “That’s not accurate; he’s highly engaged.” Kiss points out, “I’m not Peter. I’m not Bernie. I do things my own way. In the legislature, I got results even though I wasn’t outspoken. I’m doing the same as mayor.” m

For a $5 fee, Seven Days would receive and forward each missive to the person for whom it was intended, identified by a “box number.” “It was very sweet,” notes 56-yearold Donna, who describes herself as “soft butch, nice-looking, slim, confident, independent, energetic and professional.” Seven Days is the only place she’s ever advertised for love. “You can tell a lot about how a person writes a letter to you, their handwriting . . .” she explains. “That part seemed intimate — getting a letter from someone.” But the old system was labor-intensive, for both the letter writer and the newspaper. And telephone technology was exploding. Soon after Donna discovered the paper, Seven Days instituted voice-message personals. Love-seekers

still placed free ads in the paper, and added an audio element by recording a voice greeting. Interested parties paid to listen and leave a message for the advertiser. It was a telephonic hook-up with the aid of 900-number technology. Anyone with a touch-tone phone and a credit card could get in the game. Donna made the switch to the new system, but she never liked it. “I hate leaving messages, for starters,” she says. “I was always convinced my voice sounded terrible on those things.” And responding was costly. “If the other person leaves a long spiel, you want to hear all of it. That got pretty expensive.” From the voice-personals era, she scored one good relationship. “She lived three hours away, but it was worth it,” Donna recalls with a chuckle. In the meantime, dating went digital. The computer replaced the telephone as lovers’ go-between of choice. Industry leaders Match.com and Yahoo got into the biz. As of last December, Yahoo was the number-one Internet personals website in the country with 4 million subscribers, according to the Center for Media Research. Total Web users in the U.S: 152,350,000.

Dear Seven Days, A few years ago, I placed a personal ad with Seven Days. It was my first time placing an ad, and I had an excellent experience meeting five or six truly remarkable women. Thanks. I’m now single again and decided to place another ad. Much to my dismay, I find I am now relegated to the personals Gulag, which you are calling “Unplugged!” A hip name and an exclamation point don’t hide the obvious fact that you’ve segregated those 10-15 people to the back of the relationship/hook-up bus. Just mix us in. The readers can figure out we don’t want to use or don’t have a computer. Sincerely, Nick Zandstra Topsham

Seven Days switched to local online personals almost a year ago, but maintained the voice-personal system alongside the new one for those dial-up, off-the-grid or neveradopter readers. Predictably, the number of users has dwindled to a handful. You didn’t need email to read the writing on the wall. After this week’s issue, the remaining “unplugged” advertisers have a choice: Find an Internet connection at the local library, or a real one at the nearest bar. What prevents people from plugging in along

with the 20 million other Americans using online personals, more than 1000 of whom are doing it locally through sevendaysvt.com? “Habit,” says Michael Luna, a 36year-old man currently seeking “guys who bottom or are curious about it.” For five years, Luna has placed an annual “unplugged” personal ad. In the course of its run — about six weeks — he typically gets about 15 responses, half of which turn into “dates.” He clarifies, “It was usually hooking up with people — basically sex.” The ads also generated three full-fledged relationships. In all that time, Luna never responded to anyone else’s personal. “I guess I didn’t want to give my credit-card information over the phone,” he suggests. And besides, “I like people calling me.” Luna says he’ll probably check out the Seven Days personals online. He didn’t have a laptop for several years, but now he’s fully equipped. He’s already placed an ad on manhunt.com, a national hook-up site for gay men. But from Seven Days, he gets a different breed — “more married and bi guys . . . I guess they don’t want to go online because they don’t want their wives to find out. It’s more discreet this way.” Denny’s is the venue of choice for “Molly,” a fiftysomething Shelburne woman who did not want her real name used because she’s “kind of dating” someone. “It’s well lit,” she says of the chain restaurant, and then launches into a stand-up-worthy account of her nine-month quest to find “a decent guy.” She describes one memorable strikeout: “What teeth he had left you could grab and wiggle.” Although she doesn’t have anything in the unplugged section currently, Molly claims her listings would “pull 20 men . . . You should have seen the ad I ran: tall, blonde, nice figure, educated. I am all of those things,” she says. But “I didn’t say I’m good-looking.” What goes around comes around. Molly’s main complaint about her personals experience is that the men who responded didn’t meet the criteria she spelled out in the ads. “They can’t read. It says no tattoos . . . no drinkers. I don’t want a drinker; I can go to a bar to get that. I asked for clean-shaven, and I got a guy who shows up looking like Ulysses S. Grant.” What’s stopping Molly from trolling the World Wide Web for toothsome, well-coiffed guys? She doesn’t have a computer. “I’m willing to learn,” she says. In fact, she’s taking a class at the local library. When she gets up to speed, she plans to explore the online personals from there. “I heard about that Yahoo one,” she says. “I suppose they lie on there, too.” Donna is roughly the same age as Molly, but the forester lesbian has made more plug-in progress. She’s tried Yahoo and Match.com, but got discouraged when replies came from as far away as California. Grudgingly, she put an ad on the Seven Days website, but notes that not too many older lesbians are using it. She reckons, “It’s

Online personals are part of that. “I have an old-fashioned view of what it means to be close.â€? He references a recent discussion about technology with an ex-girlfriend — Zandstra says he’s on good terms with all of them, including the one he met through Seven Days. “It started with me trying to articulate my feelings about computers, and wandered to whether or not I’m prejudging communication with a computer as being a bad thing.â€? “People are adamant that I should get on,â€? Zandstra says, but that’s only caused him to dig in his heels. He adds, tantalizingly, “I’m talking to you on a rotary phone right now.â€? To access his voice messages on personal ads, “I have a plug-in push-button phone,â€? he says. Being a Luddite these days requires constant vigilance. “My stand is futile,â€? Zandstra concedes. “But I like to bring up the points; I think they’re worth discussing . . . I can better observe the phenomenon by not being in the phenomenon.

pinches from Disney movies. The writers call it a “parody musical.� Apparently this “genre� is legal, thanks to those pioneers of jurisprudence, 2 Live Crew. Their 1992 rap parody of Roy Orbison’s “Oh, Pretty Woman� ignited a case that eventually landed in the U.S. Supreme Court. Justice David Souter and his crew — unanimously down with the rappers’ right to ridicule — established a number of tests that parody must meet to retain its “fair use� exemption from copyright law. (More later on this show’s pass/fail status.) The test that Parenting flat-out flunked was on its artistic and entertainment value. Hearing beloved old songs retooled with ghastly lyrics was like falling into a giant vat of Velveeta — cheesy and suffocating. Director Falzone and musical director Alexander Rovang whipped their four players into frenzied performances big enough to be seen from Neptune. Elizabeth Payne’s costumes and Jeff Modereger’s set design added to the sense of chaos, with an endless clash of mismatched colors and a constant flash of changing set pieces.

Listings continued to appear and disappear from the FlynnTix website calendar as the producers issued conflicting versions of show schedules. It’s unclear whether Vermonters were wary with their wallets or simply uninterested in the material. To create Parenting, Nancy Holson and Jay Falzone generated cutesy lyrics on the theme of child rearing from a steaming pile of crude clichĂŠs, tired truisms, offensive stereotypes and bathroom humor.

The enforced hamminess grossly overshadowed cast members’ talents. They sang their over-miked heads off and danced the over-choreographed numbers with abandon, but their individual performances were almost impossible to evaluate in the overamplified swirl of sound. The pace was frantic, energy levels frenetic; decibels never dipped below earsplitting. It was all way too much, and yet in the end amounted only to

dizzying visual stimulation and auditory overload. This is the point in the review where I usually summarize the plot. OK, I’m done. Plot found no room at this overbooked Motel Shtick, with masturbation, flatulence and lasciviousness hogging so much space. Who needs a storyline when you can dress up a beefy, hardworking actor (Jeff Brooks) as a bewigged drag grandma on Rollerblades who raps about her MySpace page, then doffs the skates to hoof it up in tap shoes, with some cartwheels thrown in for good measure? While slides project images of granny at various locales around town, props shift constantly and sound effects boom. And this is just one of about 30 numbers. Even a musical revue needs more than a succession of chronological vignettes to give it dramatic structure. For example, I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change, a revue about relationships, builds an engaging emotional arc — with insightful lyrics and tender musical moments — as it traces Man and Woman from the cave to the grave. In Parenting, no layers accrete to leave you with even a tiny pearl of wisdom. Instead, detritus accumulates in the churning wake of pseudo-vaudevillian slapstick. And speaking of lack of wisdom, the show enshrines the worst of overindulgent, middle- and upper-class parenting: Bribe your kids! Cater to their tantrums! Lie to them! It was terrifying to see a large segment of the audience laughing heartily — perhaps knowingly? — at these values. Fiftysomething Boomers seemed to enjoy themselves, while the smattering of teens and seniors and one theater critic cringed. But the worst value enshrined in Parenting is laziness. Even if this show falls within the Supreme Court’s parody parameters, it still feels like cheating. Didn’t these folks learn from their parents to do their own homework? According to the Court, “The heart of any parodist’s claim to quote from existing material is the use of some elements of a prior author’s composition to create a new one that, at least in part, comments on that author’s work.” How does Holson and Falzone’s number “No Sex for the Married

Couple” measure up? A man and woman disrobe each other, interrupted by the kids, and try to get busy in bed. They sing a medley of songs from iconic Disney musicals. “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious,” from Mary Poppins, becomes “Super psyched to shed our clothes and copulate.” “Be My Guest,” from Beauty and the Beast, gets the lyrics “It’s been forever since I’ve seen your breast” and “Take this chance to get into your pants.” I missed the exact phrasing used in “Zip-a-Dee-Do-Dah,” from Song of the South — something about unzipping jeans — because there was very little singing. The band played extended instrumental excerpts while the couple groped each other. “Under the Sea,” from The Little Mermaid, becomes “Under the sheets, you may be tired, but you require sexual feats . . . Mommy gets dirty after 8:30, hold onto your seats.” How does any of this comment on, respectively: a beloved nanny; a gracious dancing candelabra; the now-taboo character of Uncle Remus (such an anachronistic racial caricature that Disney won’t release the film on DVD); or the underwater realm of a fishy princess? We could try to uncoil a Kundalini of cultural meta-analysis, but why bother? I’ve got $37.50 for the first person who can show me a believable line of parody between Remus singing a sunny tune to his animated Br’er patch pals and this crude sex scene in Parenting 101. Brilliant, creative people toil in theater’s trenches — actors, directors, playwrights and composers — and rarely earn fame or significant material reward. That’s why this odious production is so deeply offensive. It’s a messy vampire, dependent on the originality of others for its lifeblood. True parody has its cultural place, such as Jon Stewart singing stanzas of “Cheney’s Got a Gun” to Aerosmith’s “Janie’s Got a Gun” next time the veep’s aim goes astray. But “Kung Fu Fighting” was Carl Douglas’ one hit. Here’s a thought: To use his song for Act I’s fight scene, get permission and cut him a check! Changing a few words doesn’t make it OK to take his lunch money. An entire evening of these unfunny, ethically dubious shenanigans certainly isn’t worth forking over yours. �

TAKING NOTE OF VISUAL VERMONT

B. Amore’s Labors of Love

V IMAGES Matthew Thorsen An Italian American Odyssey: Lifeline by B. Amore. Center for Migration Studies, 300 pages. $24.95. B. Amore talks about her book this Wednesday, April 11, at 7 p.m. Community room, Fletcher Free Library, Burlington.

ermont’s stone quarries lured ItalianAmerican sculptor B. Amore to the state 20 years ago. So did the prospect of ample storage space. “The city was a tough place for someone who works with the materials that I do,” explains the Hubbardton resident, who still lives part-time in Manhattan. Amore, 64, bridges those rural and urban realms with her art. A masterwork installation she assembled at the Ellis Island Immigration Museum in New York earlier this decade was created in her Benson workspace. And as the founder of the Carving Studio in Rutland County, Amore applied in Vermont the sculptural and organizational skills she had hewn not only in New York but in Boston, California and Italy as well. Oddly, a radioactive disaster sent Amore to the Proctor marble works that would become the Carving Studio’s first home. She had intended to take a dozen students on a sculpting trip to Europe in the summer of 1986, but the meltdown of the Chernobyl nuclear plant in Russia forced a change in itinerary. Improvising with the help of contacts in Vermont, Amore arranged for her apprentices to spend that summer jackhammering and chiseling slabs of stone at the Vermont Marble Co. The quarry owners also gave the group “compressed air and a building to work in,” she recalls.

Director Carol Driscoll attributes the Carving Studio’s success to Amore’s “visionary” qualities. “She has the ability to bring people together from all different backgrounds and skill levels and have each of them get what they want and need out of their experience here,” Driscoll says. Amore will exhibit about 25 of her works this summer in the studio’s gallery. Among them will be some of the historical collages, composed of photos, letters and documents, that now account for much of her creative output. She will

It takes her many hours to arrange, on salvaged strips of embossed tin ceiling, row upon row of passport-size photos of passersby she snaps on the streets of Manhattan.

When the Carving Studio began offering classes the following year at the same site, Amore felt that one of her vision quests had reached its destination. She had earlier worked in carving studios in Carrara, Tuscany’s famed white-marble city, and was inspired to start something similar in the United States. “Building a community of sculptors — that was always my dream,” Amore explains. This past year the Carving Studio & Sculpture Center, known for its workshops in three-dimensional media and annual SculptFest exhibition, celebrated its 20th anniversary. Sculptors from around the world travel to the former Gawet Marble facility in West Rutland, where the studio has been based since 1990. It’s considered a particularly pleasant place for learning or perfecting artistry in stone and for displaying finished or in-process pieces.

also show a few of her signature stone pieces, some of them characterized by so subtle an artistic intervention that an untrained eye may regard the stones as untouched by human hand. This technique of altering natural material in ways that appear natural is associated with the Japanese-American sculptor Isamu Noguchi, whom Amore cites as an important influence. When working with stone, Amore says she’s responding to “a kind of energy that’s already there. I’m bringing my own consciousness to bear and hopefully reaching out to other people’s consciousnesses.” In other stone works, Amore’s touch is unmistakable. She wraps them partly in fabric or adds images and text to their surfaces. Recent examples may be included in this summer’s exhibit, Amore says.

That show will cap a big career year for the diminutive, high-octane artist, who works in words as well. Recently, the New York-based Center for Migration Studies published An Italian American Odyssey: Lifeline, in which Amore chronicles her 2000-01 multimedia extravaganza on Ellis Island. Like the installation, which was entitled “Lifeline: filo della vita,” the book expresses and examines Amore’s personal and ethnic identity. Aptly, it’s written in English and Italian. Arrayed across six rooms of the Immigration Museum, Amore’s show traced seven generations of her family in Italy and America. At the core of the installation were 15 horizontal panels covered with photos, letters and official documents archived by her ancestors. A red thread running across each of these panels represented a lifeline, or filo della vita, tying generation to generation and the Old World to the New. Just such threads had also been unspooled a century earlier as Italian emigrants set sail for New York holding one end of a ball of yarn while their dock-side relatives clung tearfully to the other. Physical and historical extensions have been characteristic of Amore’s art for many years. Working at first solely in stone, she soon began adding other materials to her sculpture because, she explains, “I wanted more extension than stone alone could give me.” Amore’s practice of mixing elements can be traced in part to two other formative influences: the American modernist David Smith (1906-65) and her fellow Italian-American sculptor Mark di Suvero. Although she had long admired Smith’s steel constructions, Amore says she never thought she would work in that medium until she met di Suvero, whose sculptures often incorporate a variety of materials. These days, Amore’s art tends to consist of lighter-weight items such as paper and tin. But “the work is still laborious,” she says. For example, it takes her many hours to arrange, on salvaged strips of embossed tin ceiling, row upon row of passport-size photos of passersby she snaps on the streets of Manhattan. Figuring it’s best to avoid eye contact with her subjects, Amore shoots from the hip with a tiny digital camera. Since she’s barely 5 feet tall, few members of the madding crowds ever notice they’re being photographed.

Her barn-like studio, warmed by a pair of woodstoves on a recent sleety afternoon, looks out on bare, yellowish hills ribbed with rivulets. The setting closely resembles the California landscape, Amore points out. And that’s precisely why she built her studio in this unpeopled corner of Benson 19 years ago. Amore had lived near the coast north of San Francisco for a pair of two-year periods, in the mid-1960s and late ’70s. She was married the first time she lived there, single the second. Amore has three children from her first marriage, and is now partnered with Woody Dorsey, author of a newsletter that forecasts financial markets. One of Amore’s half-dozen public art pieces stands in the East Boston ItalianAmerican neighborhood where she grew up. It’s made up of 29 stones loosely arranged in a circle and inscribed with swirling text about and by community residents. The installation conveys “a sense of their own history being reflected back to them,” the artist says. She has a lot of emotion invested in this public piece — “It’s where my mother taught me to see,” Amore says. Trained as a fashion designer at the Massachusetts College of Art, Nina Piscopo D’Amore had “a wonderful eye,” but never encouraged her daughter’s artistic career. Amore internalized that dissuasion. Even though she was “always doing artwork as a child,” she conditioned herself to regard art making as a “selfish” activity. She chose to major in sociology in college. Later, while pursuing a graduate degree in social work, she came to realize her “radical mistake” in following that path. She’s heeded art’s calling ever since. B. Amore isn’t done evolving as an artist — or as a woman. On her 50th birthday, for example, she decided to truncate her first name. She became plain B. — no longer Bernadette — as “an exterior change to honor the interior changes I’d gone through.” Her art, too, serves mainly as a means to enhance self-understanding. These days, she’s working on “puzzle pieces” made up of broken bits of stones fitted together and covered with images and text. One characteristic puzzle piece, entitled “Question,” asks viewers to consider how the world intersects with their personal lives and their work. It’s something Amore has been asking herself for decades. m

BY MARC AWODEY

Neale’s Deal n her new show, entitled “Evolution and Expression,” Montpelier artist Maggie Neale affirms what Abstract Expressionism founders Mark Rothko, Adolph Gottlieb and Barnett Newman said in a 1943 manifesto: “There is no such thing as a good painting EXHIBIT about nothing.” Neale’s works are great paintings Maggie Neale: rooted in Abstract Expressionism, and they’re about “Evolution very much indeed. As she explains on her website: and Expression” “My work is based on color and texture . . . I want to a gathering of paintings. address the communication between forms, show the Vermont Arts dance or movement, and let that movement keep Council, happening.” Neale handily achieves those goals in the Montpelier. 37 pieces on display at the Vermont Arts Council Through May. offices. She has another show, “Experimental Foot ARTWORK Steps,” a few blocks away at The Shoe Horn. Most of Neale’s paintings are nonrepresentational, “What Lies Below” by Maggie Neale but a few, such as “Corridor,” are not. The 34-by-28inch canvas from 2006 presents, in one-point perspecPHOTO tive, a hallway with colonnades on either side. The Marc Awodey passage seems to be cut into a gray cave, or perhaps the dark interior of a Romanesque church. A barrelvaulted ceiling fills the upper two-thirds of the composition. The lower third is a roughly textured, raw sienna floor, layered over a cold bluish-gray. Along the chamber’s far right wall, on an adjacent column, is a strangely expressionistic portrait bust. Neale offers another clue to viewers on her website: “My shapes are simplified. A simple shape can say more to me than a detailed form if it is allowed to

I

move with a vibrating energy — a breath.” Those words certainly apply to her nonobjective abstractions. “What Lies Below” is a 26-by-30-inch mixed-media painting of oil and wax on canvas. It’s alive with thick, textured reds that seem like a folded sandstone landscape under an oily black sky. Turquoise-blue edges, remnants of under-painting, enliven the rolling red folds. Left of center, crimson

breaks free of the rectangular format. The 24-inch-tall totemic image, wrinkled and encrusted, is a canvasand-linen construction applied to a wall-mounted board in the shape of a gravestone. It combines the mystery of Neale’s representational pieces with the formalism of her totally abstract ones. “Gleanings and Momentos” has the organic feel of a weathered relic one might stumble upon in the woods. A metallic

Neale’s works are great paintings rooted in Abstract Expressionism, and they’re about very much indeed. and vermilion seem to tumble into an illusionistic vertical crease. Neale cuts and scumbles her paint to saturate warm colors over cools. Other works include collaged scraps of canvas, even more scarified, over board. In the 14-by-21-inch oil-and-wax “Rough Patch,” from 2004, pale-gray shapes of collaged canvas seem deeply buried beneath a high horizon line. Three red spots run along the right edge of the piece; they’re closely keyed to contrast with other reds blended into the gradations of gray. Neale’s grays always range from nearly white, as in the hulking forms of “Rough Patch,” to almost black, usually in the upper portions of her images. The 2006 assemblage “Gleanings and Momentos”

heart medallion is stuck to the lower right corner of the board among fabric and bits of metal. Vermont Arts Council Executive Director Alex Aldrich has been lobbying the Department of State Buildings for better lighting. Viewing this exhibit, it’s easy to see why. The fluorescent office light that floods the VAC’s hallway and conference room exhibition spaces could certainly be improved. Even so, the lessthan-perfect illumination doesn’t diminish the quality of her work. And as Neale accurately asserts, “Paintings can change the energy in a room.” Got a comment on this story or ideas for another one? Contact Marc Awodey at awodey@sevendaysvt.com.

QUIET GRACE Denis Versweyveld’s elegantly understated paintings and sculptures are on view through May at Burlington’s Pine Street Art Works. His sparse aesthetic is unique, as his still lifes are both minimal and representational. Versweyveld is also a subtle colorist, more concerned with value and intensity than with hue. The painter walks a fine line between light and shadow. Pictured: “Josette’s Bowl.�

playing the electronic field

Gamers Take It Easy Gamers of the world, relax. With the launch of its new operating system, Windows Vista, Microsoft wants to remind gamers that going casual offers as much fun as a big-budget blockbuster. Rather than talk about how Vista will change the face of gaming just yet, the Redmond crew started pushing easy-to-learn, simple-to-play arcade and puzzle games. Forget about “Gears of War” for a minute and try out a game of “Spinword.” Vista’s arrival on the computing scene has come with the expected bumps and lumps of any new technology. Alex St. John stands out as a particularly vocal critic in the gaming community. As one of the principal creators of Direct X, the code that enables much of Windows’ multimedia and game functionality, St. John speaks with a voice of authority. As the head of casual-game publisher WildTangent, his claims that Vista broke 90 percent of his company’s games established his worries that the new system was anti-gamer. While Microsoft has responded with fixes as the new operating system churns through the expected period of stabilization, the gamer on the side doesn’t need to figure out whether or not St. John’s claims hold water. The more important point to be taken from the whole fracas is that casual games — those card games and simple matching exercises — were a big-enough deal that anyone would care, much less claim, they didn’t work right on Vista. While hard figures remain elusive — even defining a casual game causes debate among the people making them — everyone agrees that the market is big and getting bigger. The International Game Developers Association’s Casual Games White Paper points to revenues for the segment growing from next to nothing in 2002 to $400 million in 2004. The report

SUDOKU By Linda Thistle

“MSN Games for Windows Vista” Vista $7.95-$19.95 E for Everyone

expects these numbers to exceed $2 billion in the U.S. by 2008. All that attention adds up to one thing: Casual games might not offer cutting-edge game play or graphics, but they do remain disproportionately fun. Since last year, Xbox 360ers have played casual titles on the Live Arcade service. With 70 percent of the 6 million 360 players downloading at least a trial of these games, Microsoft can see that the snack-size titles retain a strong appeal. And even though the new “MSN Games” packaged especially for Vista consist mainly of retreads available elsewhere, titles such as “Geometry Wars,” “Jewel Quest II” and “Darwinia” retain their charms on the new platform. On the horizon, Vista will get a gaming upgrade. “Halo 2” will run only on a Vista PC and “Shadowrun” will use the new Microsoft’s Games for Windows Live service to connect Vista and 360 players into one world of futuristic combat. But for now, Microsoft wants to keep it casual.

Who’s It For: While Vista can run many of your old PC games, buying a new computer, with a new operating system, is a perfect time to buy some new games. Microsoft’s collection of casual games for Vista offers simple fun to help dissipate some of the frustration of learning a new computer interface. If You Like This, Try That: “PuzzleQuest” for the Nintendo DS combines a simple role-playing game with a match-three puzzle game similar to “Bejeweled.” This genre mash-up works surprisingly well. The story keeps the puzzle play from growing dull, while the puzzles provide their own compelling entertainment. Best Part: While most of the new casual games for Vista work fine with a keyboard or mouse, some require a joystick for real enjoyment. Since Vista supports both wired and wireless 360 controllers, you can take your Vista laptop and 360 peripherals on the road the next time you want to enjoy a few rounds of “Geometry Wars.”

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.

theborowitzreport Scientists Study Memory Loss Among Politicians

A

n “unprecedented epidemic of memory loss” is afflicting America’s politicians, making it virtually impossible for them to remember key phone conversations, meetings and memos, a spokesman for the world’s leading brain scientists said today. The spokesman, Dr. Hiroshi Kyosuke of the University of Tokyo, is one of over 400 eminent brain scientists who have gathered in Oslo, Norway, this week for a high-level research conference to probe the recent phenomenon of memory loss that has plagued the nation’s politicians. “The question at hand is this: Why are politicians so good at remembering contributors’ names and phone numbers but so bad at remembering everything else?” Dr. Kyosuke said. Over the course of the conference, brain scientists have presented research papers on a variety of subjects related to memory loss, such as former New York mayor Rudolph Giuliani’s inability to remember a briefing he received about former police commissioner Bernard Kerik’s possible ties to organized crime. “That seems like the sort of thing that a normal human brain would have no difficulty remembering,” Dr. Kyosuke said. “What we are learning at this conference is

that when it comes to politicians’ brains, we have so much more to learn.” On Monday, a full day of the conference was devoted to a paper entitled “The Neuroscience of Scooter Libby,” followed by a keynote address given by Attorney General Alberto Gonzales. While many attendees considered Mr. Gonzales’ speech a highpoint of the

conference, the attorney general offered a different assessment: “I have no recollection of it.” Elsewhere, President Bush said he would devote the remainder of his term to fighting global warming, adding, “April Fool’s!”

free will astrology RE AL april 12-18

ARIES (March 21-April 19): “’Don’t look

before you leap!’ is a Zen saying that contrasts with what many in the West consider wise counsel,” writes Christopher Moors in his article “Magical Buddha Nature” at tinyurl.com/34swxd. “If everything is premeditated, we never have the naked brilliance of a truly new experience. Though we might be able to temper fear in this way, we live at the minimum and have no room for the divine to enter our hearts. Love is above all things the freedom of expansion.” I’m passing on this advice, Aries, just in time for the most unboxed, unexpected, unprecedented phase of your astrological cycle. Rely on spontaneity to teach you all you need to know.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): It appears

you’re cooperating (sort of) with an authority figure who’s using the carrot-and-stick routine on you. I suppose that could lead you at least part of the way to the promised land — especially if you really believe you can’t motivate yourself without the authority’s prodding. But if you plan to continue in this vein, Taurus, can I please convince you to ask for the biggest, freshest carrot and a beautifully decorated stick?

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Here’s Caroline

Myss’ explanation of faith: “Faith is the power to stand up to the madness and chaos of the physical world while holding the position that nothing external has any authority over what heaven has in mind for you.” If you don’t like the word “heaven” in Myss’ statement, Gemini, substitute a term that works for you, like “your higher self” or “your destiny” or “your soul’s code.” Modify anything else in there that’s not quite right for your needs, as well. When you’re finished tinkering, I hope you’ll have created a definition of faith that motivates you with as much primal power as you feel when you’re in love.

CANCER

(June 21-July 22): The Guinness Book of Records commissioned miniaturization experts to make the tiniest advertisement in

3x6-SiliconDairy032206

history and affix it to a bee’s knee. The writing was so miniscule it was invisible to the naked eye. But now I’ve created an even smaller ad, which is hidden in the period at the end of this sentence. I don’t have enough space to repeat the voluminous information contained therein, but here’s the gist: It’s a favorable time to dream up new ways to promote yourself, especially if they involve the principle of unleashing whispers that speak louder than shouts.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22): Swedish philosopher Emanuel Swedenborg predicted the world would end in 1757. American minister William Miller proclaimed the planet’s “purification by fire” would occur in 1844. They’re just two of history’s many megalomaniacs disguised as moral guardians who’ve been shills for apocalyptic delusions. Our age has more of these wackos per capita, but the song is the same as it ever was. Your assignment, Leo, is to wash the taint of chronic doom-andgloom propaganda out of your lovely brain. I’m not urging you to be a raving Pollyanna, merely suggesting that you exorcise the fear foisted on you by hysterical prophets of every stripe. That includes peak-oil fanatics, Luddites who preach the gospel of techno-catastrophe, religious fundamentalists hyping Armageddon, and all the other nihilistic storytellers. You urgently need to declare your independence from our culture’s professional scaremongers.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): St. Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274) was an intellectual theologian whose doctrines became part of the canon of the Catholic Church, second in importance only to the Bible. But the Church has ignored and disavowed Aurora Consurgens, the work Aquinas reputedly wrote near the end of his life after having mystical visions of the Goddess. “All that I have written seems to me like so much straw,” he reported, “compared to what I have seen and what has been revealed to me.” Your assignment, Virgo, is to carry out your personal equivalent of what the Catholic Church hasn’t been able to do. In other words, integrate the raw wisdom from your past that you’ve been unable or hesitant to acknowledge.

LIbRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): I asked my readers if they had discovered any of the 888 Perfect Secrets from the Beginning of Time. Hundreds of responses poured in. Of those, I’ve selected the three that are most useful for you right now. Here they are. (1) Don’t sweat the small stuff, but also avoid the mistake of believing that everything is small stuff. Some stuff is big. (2) The past isn’t nearly as potent in shaping your present as you imagine. Get over it — both the bad memories and the good ones. (3) Always side with those who tell the most truth. But remember that no one is ever able to tell the whole truth.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “I’ve found

a nice balance,” writes Ash-land, one of my MySpace friends, “between living like someone who has overdosed on positive affirmations and someone who thinks everything and everyone sucks.” Are you interested in achieving a similar poise, Scorpio? Conditions are favorable for you to do so. The omens say you’re primed to cultivate true objectivity, not the fake cynical kind. And that means you could free yourself from negative emotional biases that cloud your ability to see the partially hidden beauty all around you.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): It’s always a good idea to have a soundtrack for your life — a compilation of tunes that help tone your feelings, keeping you wild-eyed and inspired. But it’s also important to continually mutate that soundtrack. Even a set of songs that worked magic for you once upon a time will eventually become outmoded, no longer resonating with the new person you’ve become and maybe even influencing you to stay stuck in the past. I think this is one of those times when you need to shift the mood, Sagittarius. Go hunt down a fresh batch of heart-massaging, mindwobbling music.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): In

addition to analyzing the heavenly portents, I sometimes use divination to arrive at your horoscope, including Tarot cards, the I Ching, and walkomancy. In the latter method, I take a stroll and regard any interesting quirks that catch my eye as clues to your destiny. That’s what I did this week. After spending an hour in my office meditating on your astrological omens, I headed out to a neighborhood where I’d never been. The first meaningful thing I saw was a sign hanging on a cactus. It read “Caution: Armadillo Crossing.” Here’s my interpretation of this clue: You should urge your “inner armadillo” to go out exploring, while at the same time making sure it’s well protected and cared for. And what is your “inner armadillo”? Maybe it’s the burrowing mammal with the heavy armor. What do you think?

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Scuttlebutt circulating on the Internet claims that the Mississippi state legislature passed a bill regarding the mathematical constant pi, which is the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter. Instead of the traditional 3.14159, lawmakers decided it should be changed to the “Biblical value” of 3.0. Did this rumored event actually occur? If so, I urge you Aquarians to refuse to recognize it, as well as other abominations like it. You need to be extremely precise in the coming days. You can’t afford to try shaving down reality to fit your theories and beliefs. Nor can you ignore details, cut corners, or make wild guesses.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20): “The harder you work, the luckier you get,” said golfer Gary Player. If that’s true, Pisces, you’ll be fabulously fortunate in the coming week. The omens suggest that you will not only have the stamina and persistence to engage in hard labor for a good cause, but that you’ll also have a robust desire to do so. You’re going to love doing what you have to do. As a result, I bet hard-earned blessings will flow toward you in abundance.

film review

The Reaping HHH

F LOSING HER RELIGION Swank plays a missionaryturned-miracledebunker in Stephen Hopkins’ Southern-fried thriller.

ans of Hollywood remakes sure get their money’s worth here. The Reaping updates, references or just plain rips off no fewer than four, maybe five, supernatural staples, including The Omen, Rosemary’s Baby, The Exorcist and The Wicker Man. Hilary Swank, apparently figuring that two Oscars is plenty, does the easy paycheck thing as Katherine Winter, a one-time ordained minister who lost her faith after her husband and daughter were murdered by religious fanatics in Africa. As career changes go, hers is a peach. She secures a position at Louisiana State University, where she teaches a course on the foolishness of faith and, in her spare time, runs around the world uncovering scientific explanations for purported miracles. Currently she’s 48 for 48. Number 49, however,

turns out to be a toughie. Swank gets a call from a teacher (David Morrissey) in a backwater bayou burg. It seems the town river has suddenly turned blood red, and the firstborn son of a local family has died, apparently slain by his 12-year-old sister. Swank calls in a foolishnessof-faith sub, picks up her faithful miracle-debunking buddy — Idris Elba of “The Wire” — and heads to the unfortunately named village of Haven, where the two accept the Southern hospitality of the teacher and set about taking samples of the water. And the fish floating on its surface. And the frogs that proceed to fall from the sky. Even the professional skeptic soon has to concede that the place has for some mysterious reason been chosen to suffer the 10 plagues of Exodus. Tests show the river is 100 percent human blood. Cows are dropping like flies. Flies and maggots are ruining barbecues. People are contracting terminal cases of boils. And then, you guessed it: locusts the size of Swiss Army knives. The worse things get, the more townsfolk threaten to form a mob and kill the little girl accused of the murder (AnnaSophia Robb). They think she’s to blame for the Biblical brouhaha because she was raised by white-trash devil worshippers. And because whenever something supernatural happens, she’s nearby, standing there staring straight ahead without saying a word while

everybody else is running around hollering their heads off. The latest from Predator 2 director Stephen Hopkins, The Reaping isn’t much more than an excuse for a lot of computer-generated effects and cheap joybuzzer jolts. The acting’s bland. The dialogue’s bad. The early banter between Swank and Elba has a lowkey comic breeziness that helps bring their characters to life, but the script slams the brakes on the laughs before the end of the first act. Two or three logic-defying twists in the final moments are likely to stir dozing viewers, though. This may be the finest major release to combine the Old Testament and date rape. It’s become chic for critics to glean serious subtexts from shlocky films. The Host, for example, has been widely credited with taking a cheeky jab at U.S. military policy between scenes in which a giant pollywog snacks on fleeing South Koreans. If I didn’t know better, I’d say The Reaping manages a veiled yet potent statement about the threat posed by religious zealotry. Between the African cult, the Bible thumpers and Satan’s faithful, enough blood is shed to fill a river — quite literally — and everyone’s certain they’re doing their Lord’s will. Sounds less like end-times than modern times to me. Too bad almost nothing else in the movie makes half as much sense as that insight. This is the sort of story that starts to fall apart as you leave the theater and has crumbled entirely by the time you reach your car. Swank takes the otherworldly preteen under her wing, and the makers of the film leave them poised for a sequel as the credits roll. In a picture that features devil worship prominently, the producers’ belief system may be the weirdest of all. Popular demand for a trip back to Haven? That really would be a miracle. RICK KISONAK

The Host HHHH

F MONSTER MASALA A mutant amphibian samples Korean and American cuisine in this acclaimed import.

ans of horror movies know that East Asia is currently experiencing a renaissance of terror. A glance at Internet message boards shows that teenagers who normally avoid subtitles are eagerly renting fright films from Japan and Hong Kong, such as The Ring, Dark Water and The Eye, many of them released under Tartan Video’s “Asia Extreme” label. But those of us who’d like to see these movies on a big screen generally have to wait for an inferior American remake, such as last summer’s Pulse. The Host, South Korea’s highest grossing film ever, is being touted as an “Asian extreme” film that could make it to Middle American multiplexes. Directed by Bong Joon-ho, The Host isn’t a moody ghost story, like most of the other Asian imports. It’s an old-fashioned monster movie with a prickly political subtext, like the classic Japanese Godzilla films. And, though it would be a stretch to call it a “family film,” The Host is a film in which family trumps all. Remember how Godzilla emerged from a nuclear blast? The monster of The Host emerges from an American army base, where a neat-freak doctor orders his Korean subordinate to pour a stock of formaldehyde down the drain. The chemical invades the Han River and resurfaces two years later — it’s implied — in the form of a big, four-legged, tentacled, tadpoleish critter with a taste for human flesh. After the monster swims to shore and chows down on some vacationers, the authorities announce that it carries a deadly virus. Witnesses to the attack are quarantined, and people on the streets of Seoul wear masks to

avoid contamination. Echoes of the 2002 SARS outbreak are obvious — and ominous. In fact, the Korean military, prodded by the Americans, is so gung-ho to contain the virus that it doesn’t bother with the monster itself. That turns out to be the job of an unassuming single dad named Park Gang-Du (Song Kang-ho), who spends most of his time dozing when he’s supposed to be minding his riverside snack shack. Gang-Du’s schoolgirl daughter Hyun-seo (Ko Ah-sung) is presumed dead, a victim

of the monster’s first attack, when he receives a cellphone call from deep inside a sewer. Hyun-seo is alive, trapped in the monster’s lair. When Gang-Du asks the police for help, they figure the virus is affecting his brain. It doesn’t help that he’s moon-faced and a bit slow-witted. So the Park family — including Gang-Du’s aged father, his tippling slacker brother, and his archery-champion sister — takes matters into its own hands. For American audiences, The Host is a strange, genre-bending mixture. It has an austere visual style, with a palette of murky blues and greens to match the monster’s haunts, but there’s nothing austere about the script. It’s terrifying when young Hyun-seo is confronting the monster, sentimental when the family bonds against it, and funny when they’re baiting and bickering with one another — even when they’re mourning Hyun-seo, surrounded by other grieving survivors. (It’s safe to say a scene like this would never appear in a Hollywood film.) A recurring theme in the movie is the simple comfort of food. One character evokes the traditional “right of the hungry” to snatch food where they can, which certainly puts the monster in a new light — can it be blamed for wanting a snack? Though its CGI can be iffy, the sinuous monster behaves like a real, hungry animal, not a preternaturally alert villain like the raptors in Jurassic Park. In the end, it’s less scary than what the Centers for Disease Control does to combat the virus — and that’s food for thought. MARGOT HARRISON

Meat on Main Pulling pork, not punches, at Big Fatty’s BBQ by suzanne podhaizer

A

t Big Fatty’s BBQ on Main Street in Burlington, the servers wear black tees that read, “Be nice to me, I pull your pork.� The yellow walls are plastered with saucy notices. “Sarcasm: one of the free services I offer,� says one. Another reads, “There will be a $5 charge for whining.� Irreverence reigns at the restaurant that Clay Vagnini and his wife Bethany Lewis opened on March 31. The couple, who

Opening the BBQ joint was no easy task — “I feel like I’ve just given birth,� Vagnini sighs. Now that it’s up and running, he can relax into his new routine. Although the business is young, word of mouth seems to be spreading. At dinnertime on Wednesday — less than a week after the opening — five parties sit around the wooden tables or on stools in front of the authentic pig trough that serves as a dining counter. When a customer requests lids for a couple of to-go containers, a college-aged

“Dry� ribs are tender and nicely spiced. “wet� ones are also pretty messy. “That’s why God created hoses and paper towels,� says Vagnini. also operate Maple Street Catering and another Big Fatty’s location in Hartford, have finally realized their dream of bringing “authentic barbecue� to Burlington. Your doctor might scold you for visiting Big Fatty’s — this is ’cue with no apologies or concessions to nutrition trends — but the tantalizing taste of smoke and spice Vagnini proclaims “a religion� in the South is worth a few extra trips to the gym. Big Fatty’s occupies the space that used to house Souza’s Brazilian Churrascaria. In a game of “musical restaurants,� Souza’s moved just up the street. The city’s only South American venue will reopen Friday in its new St. Paul and Main location, which was vacated by Glori Nori.

staffer with funky glasses and a ponytail waggishly offers to release them for a buck each. How did Big Fatty find employees with a sense of humor? Vagnini advertised in the paper for “ballsy bussers� and “sassy servers,� he says. Then he weeded out applicants who didn’t fit the Big Fatty profile. He explains that he wrote back to those who expressed interest in the job “and said something to the effect of ‘If you’re a frou-frou, dilettante, self-serving, tree-hugger Democrat, this isn’t the place for you. I don’t want nice — I want fast and sassy.’� Those who responded with enthusiasm got a job. A bunch never wrote back. During a slow spell, a few of the feisty folks Vagnini hired lounge behind the

counter chatting. One of them playfully asks the boss if he’s planning to serve chai any time soon. Amused, Vagnini points to a paper near the cash register labeled “Big Fatty’s FAQ.� “I should add that to the list,� he suggests. A restaurant with a FAQ? Vagnini explains that it’s a catalogue of “silly� questions he’s been asked at least twice, such as

“What’s the yellow stuff in the cornbread?� His response? “Corn.� Other items from the FAQ: “Can I have a turkey sub?� “No.� “How come your BBQ is better than mine?� “Devine [sic] intervention.� Other questions that are no-nos, and may make the list now that Big Fatty’s has come to liberal-lovin’ Burlington: “What >> 0 B

Vermont farmers “put out a great product but they don’t do volume,� says Vagnini. He recently placed an order for ribs to “lock in a good

Other proteins at Fatty’s include fried catfish and Texas brisket, which is slow-cooked for more than 24 hours and served only on Wednesdays. “We put it in around 10 a.m. on Tuesday and pray that it will be done by lunch on Wednesday,� Vagnini says. The brisket, which he calls the “most gristly cut you can imagine,� ends up as a melt-in-your-mouth treat. If a BBQ chef really likes you, according to Vagnini, he’ll offer you a piece of carrot with your brisket. Why? Carrots are used to elevate the beef from the bottom of the pan as it cooks, and end up caramelized and soaked in meaty juices. Big Fatty probably doesn’t worry about pissing off cardiologists. All the same, the menu

sticks. Chicken, often the blandest meat on the menu, is a triumph here. Brined first in a bath of water, salt, sugar and spices, the bird is then slow-smoked for four hours over hickory. It emerges with leathery skin but juicy, flavor-infused meat — no sauce required. Because of the cooking technique, the meat often remains pink — sometimes even red — near the bone. Vagnini chuckles as he relates the story of a Burlingtonian who tried to return the chicken because he thought it was raw. “He comes to the counter and asks for another chicken. I tried to explain that the next chicken would be just like the one he already had.� When the customer refused to take his money back, insisting on a “properly cooked�

price.� He ordered more than 12 tons. What does he do with all those ribs? He cooks them up “Memphis-style.� Says Vagnini, “BBQ is so regionalized, and there’s so much passion surrounding those regions, that fights break out over who’s got the best BBQ.� In creating the menu for Big Fatty’s, he decided he had to rely on his own tastes. “It’s all just opinion. Here, it’s my opinion.� This means that at Big Fatty’s they do the ribs with a dry rub and top the meaty mounds with a squirt of house-made “wet� BBQ sauce before serving. Those in the know can ask for their ribs “dry,� too. “Dry� ribs are tender and nicely spiced. “Wet� ones are also pretty messy. “That’s why God created hoses and paper towels,� says Vagnini. The homemade “wet� sauce also shows up on the pulled pork, which comes in “biblical portions,� with or without bread. Those who enjoy the taste of good, fatty meat will appreciate the restrained use of tangy, spicy sauce on each portion. Not enough kick? You can add as much of the red stuff as you want from the squeeze bottle on your table.

includes a few offerings from the vegetable kingdom. Coleslaw is made in-house each morning, but it’s standard stuff, nothing thrilling. Savory collard greens, cooked with bacon, are another story. In the South, says Vagnini, “folks of very little means would eat collards as a way of staying healthy.� The peppery vegetable, closely related to cabbage and kale, is delicious when coated in pork fat. But it’s also full of vitamins A and C, plus iron and calcium. Why doesn’t Vagnini prepare the greens so vegetarians can try them? He nixes that: “The flavor’s in the fat and the fat’s in the flavor.� Aside from collards, hush puppies are the boss’ favorite side dish. “They remind me of hot dusty roads, big yellow dogs and kudzu vines throughout the center of Georgia,� he explains. For those who have never tried hush puppies, Vagnini describes them as “pieces of cornbread that we’ve deep-fat fried, only different.� The puppies are crisp on the outside and dense with cornmeal. There’s cornbread as well, for those who like a lighter touch. For all its daring dishes, Big Fatty’s scores its most startling success with wings and drum-

chicken, Vagnini finally had to tell him, “There are hundreds of restaurants in this town, and I’m sure one of them will cook chicken the way you like it, but this is not that restaurant.� While good food is on the menu at Big Fatty’s, compromise isn’t. If you can’t accept that “I’m not going to change the way I cook to satisfy you as an individual, you shouldn’t come in here,� Vagnini opines. Is he just being snarky? Vagnini is eloquent in defense of his own vision of a cuisine with regional roots. “One of the hardest things in the world to do is cook something that has no history, predicated only on today’s vision of what’s healthy and what isn’t,� he says. “All the stuff that we cook has history, has soul.� And if that means the collards come from Georgia and the hogs from Iowa — not Vermont — that’s OK with Clay Vagnini. If it means that vegetarians and the politically correct avoid his restaurant, he can live with that, too. If it means that a bunch of folks with thick skins and quick wits gather in Burlington to enjoy authentic BBQ? It’ll be a dream come true. >

Missing Mexican SOUTH-OF-THE-BORDER CUISINE GOES WAY SOUTH

La Carreta, Rosita’s and El Mariachi are gone. Miguel’s Stowe Away in Burlington lasted less than a year. Then, on April 7, the long-lived Miguel’s Stowe Away Lodge in Stowe — family-owned for 30 years — closed its puertas. What’s troubling Latin and Tex-Mex restaurants in Vermont? Miguel’s proprietors couldn’t be reached for comment, but other area business owners have

some ideas. Monique Duckworth, who owns Stowe’s 15-year-old Cactus Café — the town’s only remaining Mexican restaurant — doesn’t think “Mexican is going passé, or anything like that.” What’s the problem? The economic climate in general, she suggests. “It’s getting harder and harder for small businesses to make a living in Vermont with this whole Catamount Health Insurance, proposed 1 percent tax on fuel and propane . . .” Valerie Rochon of the Stowe Area Association agrees. “The businesses in Stowe are being absolutely strangled,” she complains. “How much more serious does it have to get . . . before the legislature does something about it?” Rochon notes that in addition to skyrocketing property taxes and rising utility bills, the weather also plays a role. “God has a little bit to do with our marketing efforts. When your bottom line is iffy and your revenue is somewhat sporadic because of poor weather . . . you go out of business . . . The fact that any [restaurants] are still open is a testament to their will power and their business management skills.” Is Duckworth concerned about her café’s future? Although it makes her nervous to be the “only game in town,” she professes to be hopeful. “When we first started, it was really hard . . . but we keep up with everybody else now.” Also, she’s confident about the “word-of-mouth recognition” she’s gained with locals. Another plus: “There’s really something on the menu for everyone,” Duckworth points out. “And we have a really tight staff — like family.”

Crumbs African doughnuts and pupusas from El Salvador will be on the menu at CCV’s free, 7th Annual International Food Festival on April 11, when students from all over the globe cook up specialties from their countries of origin. Other nations that will come to the table: Nicaragua, Saudi Arabia, Moldova and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Organizers expect more than 20 cuisines to be represented. “You can expect to see food from those countries and more,” boasts Amy Stuart, coordinator of academic services at the college. To fill in a few cultural gaps, Stuart is bringing in items from Global Markets, Fu Da Chinese Restaurant and Shalimar of India. Even though the event is hosted on a shoestring budget — the school reimburses students who are “living on meager means” — Stuart has never considered charging for entry. She explains that the idea is to let students and locals “come together and feel at home together.” Can’t put a price on that. See the Seven Days calendar for details. Soused vegetarians and vegans have a new late-night nosh option. Kevin’s Wicked Mountain Dogs, a fixture on the bottom of Church Street, now carries Smart Dogs! brand tofu “pups.” Owner Kevin Shea says the dogs are cooked to order, and

might take a bit longer than their meaty counterparts. One thing that’s the same: the price. Both the frankfurters and the healthier hots cost $3. Each year, Food & Wine magazine opines about the 10 best new chefs. When editor-in-chief Dana Cowin announced their picks for 2007, NECI grad Gavin Kaysen made the cut. Chef Kaysen, 27, works at El Bizcocho restaurant at the Rancho Bernardo Inn in San Diego. There he serves fare such as braised Kobe beef short ribs with parsnip mousseline and cippolini onions, and roasted garlic potato gnocchi with baby white corn and shiitake mushrooms. Wanna meet the rising star? He’s visiting his alma mater on May 3 to do a cooking demo at The Inn at Essex. Tickets for the event, which is open to the public, cost $100. For more information, contact Ginger Hopkins at 229-6108. Things are cooking in Barre. The old Homer-Fitts department store downtown is getting a new life as the home of the Local Agricultural Community Exchange (LACE). Executive Director Ariel Zevon — daughter of late singing legend Warren Zevon — describes her planned offerings as “a nonprofit local foods and products market, café and community kitchen, education and processing center.” The multifaceted operation is set to open in June. Jackson Browne, a friend of the Zevon family will play benefit concerts at the Barre Opera House on June 9 and 10 as part of the celebration. The Homer-Fitts building isn’t the only old Barre landmark that’s getting resurrected. So, too, is the historic downtown firehouse. Valerie and Richard Beaudet, owners of Flowers by Emslie & Co., are renovating the building to create “an urban garden center and café.” Also on tap: The Barre Partnership newsletter recently announced that the Granite Center Farmers’ Market, which in 2006 was held at the Granite Museum “on the outskirts of town,” is moving back downtown. The new venue — the lawn of the Aldrich Public Library — will let localvores eat their words. On April 18 and 19, UVM hosts “A Going Local Colloquium: The Challenges and Opportunities in Promoting Local Food and Local Food Systems.” The free event begins with a talk by former Governor Madeleine Kunin from 7 to 8 on Wednesday, and closes on Thursday with a keynote address by Michael Shuman, author of The SmallMart Revolution: How Local Businesses Are Beating the Global Competition. Panel discussions include “Global warming, local foods and the 21st century,” and “Burlington as a food hub: the 21st century and beyond.” For more info, email Jennifer Green at jlgreen@ uvm.edu or Patrick Wood at pwood@uvm.edu.

pic airline delays and flight cancellations have been in the news this winter, and frequent fliers have found themselves spending more time in airports. Meanwhile, tightened security means you can’t bring drinks to the gate. So what if you’re hungry, stuck at the gate and your flight’s delayed? At most major airports, you grab a burger or a sub or a grande mocha from a familiar national chain. But not in Burlington. There’s no Burger King at Burlington International Airport — known by its airport code, BTV. There’s no Quiznos. No TGI Friday’s. No Dunkin Donuts or Starbucks. Burlington’s airport may be Vermont’s biggest, but it’s not big enough to attract chain eateries. Although the airport has expanded in recent years, Aviation Director Brian Searles observes that it still draws far fewer passengers than do hubs such as Boston or Cincinnati, and lacks a steady flow of traffic.

Consequently, Searles hasn’t heard from many vendors seeking to set up shop in the airport. “We’re never going to have a food court with five or six big chains in it,” he says. “It’s not going to happen.” Currently just one vendor makes meals for BTV’s clientele — Premier Companies of New Hampshire, which also owns restaurants in the Manchester area. Premier has been feeding Burlington’s air travelers for the past 15 years. Besides the vending machines and the gift shop, which sells drinks and specialty food items, Premier is the hungry traveler’s only option. Searles confirms that the company is about to ink a deal extending its exclusive airport contract for another five years. He points out that since Premier had first right of refusal for the next half decade, the decision to continue was essentially theirs, not the airport’s. So how good is the food? Searles says he’s pleased with Premier’s performance. While he

hears plenty of complaints from travelers — long lines, lost bags, delayed flights — and he’s gotten feedback about the lack of dining diversity and hours of operation, “We’ve never had complaints about the quality of the food,” he says. Premier operates four eateries in the Burlington airport — two food and drink kiosks, a snack bar and a restaurant. The kiosks, which are actually more like food stands or carts, sit beyond the security checkpoints in the airport’s two terminals, and are impossible to reach without a boarding pass or an official escort. BTV Operations Specialist Kerrie Fadden agrees to bring a reporter and a photographer through security to see Premier’s set-up in the north terminal on a weekday morning. The small food station sits just inside the newly constructed wing of the gate area. A cooler stocked with cold drinks and sandwiches stands against a nearby wall. A recorded reminder from the Transportation Security Adminis-

$4 MARGARITAS! $3 CORONA BEERS! ter provides some ambiance. “The TSA has limited the items that may be carried through a security checkpoint,” says a man’s voice. “Please check with your air carrier for further information.” These increased restrictions are one of the reasons Premier now operates food stands in the gate areas — you can’t take your morning coffee with you past security. A few bleary-eyed travelers approach the cart to buy Green Mountain Coffee Roasters coffee. The breakfast fare is restricted to a bowl of apples and oranges, some bagels from the Baker’s Dozen in Essex, and muffins made fresh in the restaurant kitchen. This morning cashier Kim Bluto has banana nut, cinnamon chip, lemon poppy seed and cranberry nut, a customer favorite. “Any corn muffins?” Fadden

and scans the menu. She scowls when she doesn’t find what she’d like. “You don’t have lattes, do you?” she asks. She’s definitely not the only one asking, says Todd Bianchi, general manager for Premier’s Vermont operations. “We have frequent requests for cappuccino and espressos,” Bianchi reports. He says Premier is “considering” adding more coffee drinks, but he’s not sure there’s enough space for the necessary equipment behind the snack bar counter. Another drawback to Premier’s on-the-go options: The snack bar and the kiosks only accept cash. Bianchi explains that they don’t have the phone lines to process credit or debit cards. But he says they’re considering changing that, too. “We need to step forward with the change in the times,” he concedes.

“Nobody’s going to order a steak here,” Bianchi observes. “Most of our customers are in a hurry. You could have the best dressed businessman come here and he’s going to order a Reuben.” Still, Bianchi says some menu items stand out. “We make the best buffalo chicken wrap in the area, guaranteed,” he boasts. “That’s our number one seller as far as the airport employees are concerned.” When he eats at the restaurant, the GM prefers the Champlain Bagel, a roasted turkey sandwich made with sugar-cured bacon, sliced red onions, sundried tomato pesto and Granny Smith apple slices covered with melted cheddar cheese. Bianchi also touts the soups, which are all homemade and change daily. Just don’t try to order anything

asks. Bluto says she’s out. “The corn muffins are to die for,” Fadden gushes. The cart also sells some snacks — date bars and “Positively Peanut Butter” cookies from the Halleluia Bakery in Hardwick, and Three Musketeers bars. The cooler holds sandwiches made each morning in the restaurant kitchen, as well as bottles of soda. Premier sells Coke products; all of the airport vending machines sell Pepsi. At first glance, it would appear that the bottled water on sale at the cart is a quarter cheaper than the water in the vending machine — $1.75 versus $2. But the price doesn’t take into account the state’s 9 percent rooms and meals tax, which the caterer must charge. So Premier’s 20 oz. bottles of Dasani really sell for $1.91. The best deal on bottled water turns out to be in the gift shop downstairs — $1.79 for 20 oz. — but you can’t bring it to the gate. Of course, the water from the bubblers is the real bargain: It’s free. Air Fare, Premier’s snack bar by the airline ticket counters, offers the same munchies as the kiosks, plus a few hot items. The menu features a breakfast sandwich for $3.50, clam chowder, pizza and chilidogs. The food is prepared upstairs in the restaurant kitchen, then reheated as it’s ordered; the snack bar doesn’t have its own kitchen. It doesn’t have an espresso machine or a milk steamer, either. During the busy morning rush, one well-dressed older woman approaches the counter

Customers who can only pay with plastic have to visit the airport’s restaurant, One Flight Up, so named because it’s located on the second floor. The name is too cute, and the décor predictable — antique aviation paraphernalia abounds, and a giant American flag dominates one wall — but the view from the wall of east-facing windows is breathtaking. On this overcast morning, a handful of diners watches planes touch down against the backdrop of Mount Mansfield and Camel’s Hump. Bianchi admits the American cuisine isn’t exactly as fancy as the view. The breakfast offerings are fairly standard — the Hunter’s Scramble includes two scrambled eggs with chopped bacon, peppers, onions and cheddar cheese, with home fries and toast — reasonably priced at $7.95. The French toast and pancakes all come with Vermont maple syrup. The lunch and dinner menu consists mainly of sandwiches.

past 7 p.m. That’s when all of Premier’s operations shut down for the day. It’s simply not possible to stay open any longer, Bianchi says. After 6:45 p.m., “It’s like a ghost town in here.” The rare passenger who’s stuck overnight has to scavenge from the vending machines until everything opens up again at 6 a.m. But for all the caveats, Premier’s food service has its fans. Ellie Bushweller of South Burlington says she and her husband eat at One Flight Up every time they fly out of Burlington. The couple is traveling this morning to California with their grown son. They came to the airport early for breakfast. Bushweller had a breakfast sandwich with home fries and toast. “The service is good, and the food’s been good, too,” she says. She hasn’t always had such good luck with her flights. She chuckles and shakes her head as she says, “Now if you ask me about the airplanes . . .” >

theREALESTATEDEAL in the shade with...

nick riina

My dream vacation would be... a real life Gilligan’s Island with just Jessica Beil, Jessica Alba and me. (At least I can’t get a name wrong!) if i weren’t a realtor, i would be a… baby heart surgeon.

On a Saturday night you will most likely find me... laughing with my friends. The first piece of real estate i bought was... a 5-acre building lot in southern New York.

My most prized possession is... my dog, Zermatt. My favorite lunch place is... who doesn’t love a “Red Onion Sandwich” from Red Onion on Church Street? Something i would like to do, but haven’t had the chance… spend more time with my family, as they are so far away and such incredible people.

My favorite hobby is… a round of golf on a warm summer Vermont afternoon! One thing people are surprised to find out about me is... I am a true family guy at heart.

The best part about spring is... the change in people’s grumpy winter attitudes.

My weirdest superstition or paranoia is… I cannot have anyone touch my feet, thanks to my cousin Joe torturing them all those childhood years.

PAIRING OFF :: Northampton, Massachusetts, folk-pop duo

The Kennedys

have

been performing together since the early 1990s. Members Pete Kennedy and Maura Boudreau have both logged time as members of Nanci Griffith’s backing band — in fact, they played their first sets as The Kennedys while opening for their onetime boss. The duo’s music contains elements of early rock ’n’ roll, alt-country and Americana, woven together in an affable sound all their own. With nine records to their credit and thousands of miles logged, The Kennedys are one of the most solid partnerships in modern folk music. Catch them at the Valley Player’s Theater in Waitsfield this Saturday as part of the Mad River Unplugged series.

BY CASEY REA

SHOW & TELL

So what if it’s been spitting snow in these first weeks of April? Spring is around the corner, and by extension, summer. Which for music lovers means one thing: outdoor concert season. Higher Ground Presents and Ben & Jerry’s have just confirmed two shows for their annual Concerts on the Green at Shelburne Museum, and they’re both pretty big deals. I’ve been given the go-ahead to break the suspense, so here goes. First up are Wilco, who appear on Friday, June 29. I’m pretty psyched for this one, as I’ve been listening to a top-secret advance of the band’s latest, Sky Blue Sky, pretty much nonstop for the last couple of weeks. It’s a supremely soulful disc, featuring some groovy detours into early 1970s-style guitar rock. To me, it’s what jamming should sound like — heartfelt, solid but not flashy, and in service to the song. Having been a fan of “new� Wilco axe man Nels Cline for some time, I have to say it’s great that boss Jeff Tweedy allowed him space to shine on track after track. A few of my online critic pals have lately dismissed Wilco as “dad-rock�; if that’s the case, you can call me Papa Rea. The queen of transcendent country, Emmylou Harris, appears on Monday, August 6. Harris has been performing and recording for more than 30 years and, in that time, has helped pave the way for countless musicians. Her work with the late Gram Parsons is, of course, legendary, and her solo material is positively gorgeous. So is she, in my humble opinion. Judging from our Pop 10 list of top sellers at local record shops, a lot of you purchased All the Roadrunning, Harris’ recent collaboration with ex-Dire Straits leader Mark Knopfler. The “Sultan of Swing� won’t be at this show, but I’ll bet Emmylou will do just fine without him. A limited number of “early bird� tickets will be made available for the Wilco — these run $33. Regular advance tickets are $38, and dayof-show admission (if it isn’t sold out by then) is $39. Emmylou Harris tickets are $48 advance, 52 bucks day of. Tickets go on sale this Friday at 11 a.m., so break out those credit cards. Purchases can be made at the Higher Ground box office, online at www.HigherGroundMusic.com or by calling 888-512-SHOW. Stay tuned for announcements about the rest of the artists appearing in the series.

PARTING IS SUCH SWEET SORROW

UP A CREEK WITH A MUSICAL PADDLE

WILCO while — he’s packing up and heading off to Providence, Rhode Island, in the coming weeks. As previously reported, Rabidoux will be busy putting together the new incarnation of Strangeways Recording, which until recently was located on lower Main Street in Burlington. In addition to Rabidoux, the Metronome gig will feature satellite member Jebson Interlandi, who has lately rocked the bass for local rockers The Cripples. This incarnation of Carrigan is my personal favorite, so I’m definitely gonna be there. Carrigan drummer/electronics manipulator Ken Johnson told me of the band’s recent adventures in Austin, Texas, as part of that city’s massive South By Southwest festival. Long story short: They played on a backyard patio at a vegan barbecue — hardly a prime spot if you’re looking to impress industry types. “We only got to play for, like, 20 minutes,� Johnson relates. “It was easily 90 degrees, Zack [Martin] was running a fever, and Daryl had to literally sprint across town to get our laptop right before our set, which was left in a parked van somewhere in downtown. So we were a pale, sweaty mess in Texas.� Beats being a pale, freezing mess in B-town, right?

Local rockers Carrigan have been playing quite a few out-of-state shows lately, with sometime guitarist Daryl Rabidoux in tow. They’ll be back at Club Metronome alongside The Static Age and Drive the Hour on Wednesday, April 11. The show marks Rabidoux’s last appearance with the band for a

FRIDAY 4/13

THE MELODIANS

I recently received word about a new local compilation sponsored by Middlebury’s Otter Creek Brewing Co. The disc, which was produced by The Dirtminers’ front dude Raph Worrick, features a bounty of fine local bands. And, by the by, OCB happens to make some awesome beer. Now can I get an endorsement, or perhaps my picture on a bottle? Personal pipe dreams aside, the CD is damn solid. Artists appearing include Chuch, Japhy Ryder, Patrick Fitzsimmons, Farm, Vorcza, Lowell Thompson, Kris Gruen, Starline Rhythm Boys, The Eames Brothers Band and, of course, The Dirtminers. And, much like the beer, the music is fresh. “Most of the tracks are from just-released or soon-to-be-released CDs,� says Worrick. “It’ll hit shelves around April 15, and folks should look for the CDs stuck on the outside of the beer boxes.� A thousand copies will be given away in this manner, attached to OCB’s Vermont Sampler 12-packs. That’s my kind of distribution. Compilation albums often suffer from sonic schizophrenia, but that’s not the case here. Says Worrick, “It’s a varied group of songs, but they hang well together.� I’ve had a listen, and couldn’t agree more.

STRANGE DAYS Fans of weird-ass pop might want to swing down to Burlington’s Euro Gourmet this Monday for a show with Remote Islands, Nosebleed Island (do I detect a theme?) and Fighter. Headliners Remote Islands hail from Philadelphia, the land of cheese steaks and Rocky Balboa. RI have no connection with either, but it’s always fun to talk useless trivia. I’ve given a thorough listen to the band’s adorably bizarre album, Smother Party, and I can’t tell if they’re playing at being crazy, or actual crazies playing. RI have been compared to Blur, Pavement and Radiohead, which I frankly don’t hear. It’s more like if Daniel Johnston’s voice dropped an octave and he started messing with cheap synths and drum machines. Locals Nosebleed Island are quickly gaining notoriety around town for their shattered pop ditties about robots, vampires and romance. Fighter, who play all manner of odd and handmade instruments, features local artist Graham Keegan. The show takes place at 7 p.m. and costs $5. Visit www.TickTick. org for more info.

FOR FAMILY Just wanted to give a quick heads-up about a benefit show with blues-rockers Nobby Reed Project at the St. Albans Owl’s Club on Saturday, April 14. The band is performing in support of friend Jimmy Bedard, who is struggling with cancer. “We’re trying to do anything to help his family with costs,� says NRP drummer Eric Belrose. “This is one way we as a group of musicians can use our talent to help.� The show takes place at 7 p.m.; admission is $15.

reviewthis AVI & CELIA, OFF THE FLOOR

MIKE GAITO, BEARD OF BEES

(Self-released, CD)

(Self-released, CD)

The real buzz around Vermonter Mike Gaito’s perfectly baffling solo debut Beard of Bees doesn’t come from Gaito’s facial hair, but from his inventive interlacing of folk, prog rock and jazz. Consider that a compliment. Where else can you hear the musical tale of a Cuban-cigar-smoking, flask-guzzling emu named Hobart? And let’s not ignore the liner notes, in which Gaito refers to a bunny-rabbit intern named Art, whom he describes as “a good kid,” but “way too verbose in his email correspondence.” It’s strange, for sure, but also strangely endearing. Gaito’s lyrics sometimes verge on Steely Danesque obscurity, such as on “Asparagus and Glass.” Still, more often than not, his tunes tell a story, albeit a heavily imagistic one. “A feeble reach only speeds my descent / I give my consent to be / gnawed and eaten whole,” he croons. Then there’s “. . . the sometimes terrifying realities of getting exactly what you want . . .” with its melée of acoustic and electric riffs, layered vocals and odd, if effective, time signatures. In this way, Gaito subverts his own sweetness, employing an unusual meter, a bluesy electric solo and a collage of cringe-worthy vocal trills. His call-and-response singing sounds like an argument between a laid-back islander and a panicked tourist, but it somehow works. There are a few things on this marathon of an album that don’t work, however. Remember Art the bunny? His eponymous track plays like a pop song at an eighth-grade dance, its melody more punch bowl than pony keg. “The Fogged Frame” and “The Oar” are two epics worth sitting through, but the timing and feel jump back and forth from pool to Jacuzzi several times, leaving the listener a little waterlogged. The unusual song structures on Beard of Bees paint Gaito as a prog rocker in a folk singer’s body — or perhaps it’s the other way around. By the end of the album, my ears felt like a pitcher’s arm after seven solid innings. Although Gaito can be somewhat longwinded, his creativity and humor trump any “What the fuck?” feeling you might have upon first pressing play. If anything, Beard of Bees reminds us that originality usually seems weird at first. And Gaito is definitely a weirdo. DAVE SACHS

Like many local acts, Burlington’s folk-bluesrock-soul duo Avi & Celia came together while attending UVM. Since then, the two have played both small coffeehouse gigs and big-ticket concerts with their backing band, The Walkin’ Line. Their debut disc, Off the Floor, brings together six spirited originals steeped in American musical tradition. The majority of the album relies solely on the talents of multi-instrumentalist/vocalist Avi Salloway and singer Celia Woods. The sound is perfectly homey, and showcases the duo’s easy-going musicality. Guest instrumentalists such as bassists Aram Bedrosian, Wes Stannard and Mike Santosusso, drummer Paul Carroccio and fiddler/backing vocalist Katie Trautz add extra flavor to several of the cuts. The disc’s charm lies in its relative simplicity. Salloway avoids clutter while layering acoustic, electric, pedal steel and “noise guitar,” while Woods foregoes vocal acrobatics in favor of broad melody lines. The result: a naturalistic-sounding romp through bluegrass, porch blues, country and rock. Opener “Can’t Feel It” emulates the broken-down blues the Stones trafficked in during their Beggar’s Banquet days. They were, in turn, stealing from Muddy Waters and John Lee Hooker, who might not be down with this line of musical succession. Lyrically, it’s pretty light, but that’s what you’d expect from a pair of youthful troubadours playing dress-up with the hard-luck hymns of yesteryear. “Down to You” opens with a lonely slide guitar, which is soon joined by fervently strummed acoustic. The tune eventually picks up steam, as Woods and Salloway trade defiantly frisky vocals. However, things get a bit goofy near the end of the tune, as the overly emphatic singing approaches parody. Bluegrass gets its due on “Bud N’ Mary,” a jaunty number featuring spry fiddle, while the title track features Salloway’s rich baritone and harmony accompaniment from Woods on the chorus. “Mama, oh mama, you’ve been here before / Mama, oh mama, pick yourself off the floor,” they gingerly sing. The disc closes with the rockin’ “Soak Her In.” Backed by a full rhythm section, Salloway turns in a double-tracked vocal that’s well matched by Woods’ soulful wail. There are some slick lead guitar lines, but the song suffers from the same lack of imagination that marks much of today’s blues-rock. In spite of the occasional cliché and some indefensible culture cribbing, Off the Floor makes a fine introduction to Avi & Celia’s pleasingly down-home sound. CASEY REA

SAD BUT TRUE :: Singer-songwriter Elvis Perkins has received rave reviews for his debut album, Ash Wednesday, a collection of folk-rock ruminations on calamity and loss. The young troubadour writes from experience. The son of Psycho star Anthony Perkins and photographer Berry Berenson, he lost his father to AIDS in 1992, and his mom was a passenger on one of the ill-fated 9-11 aircraft. Perkins’ acoustic jangle is skeletal and ghostly, framed by fiddle, upright bass and drums. The stripped-down arrangements highlight his earnest voice, which sounds cautiously optimistic even at its most wounded.

FRIDAY 13

going western Patsy Cline was one of the first country-music stars to enjoy crossover success on the pop charts, with a singularly resonant voice and an emotional delivery that convinced audiences her heart was breaking. Cline died tragically at age 30, at the height of her fame, in a 1963 plane crash. But her spitting image takes the stage in Rutland this week, when Texas-based vocal impersonator Sherrill Douglas covers Cline’s signature hits. Douglas (pictured) also does acts as Stevie Nicks and Dolly Parton, but she appears solely as the “Nashville Sound” diva at this show. Wear your best button-down, and expect to hear tearjerkers such as “I Fall to Pieces,” “She’s Got You” and “Crazy.” ‘Crazy ’Bout Patsy’

scene@ �MACHINE MADNESS� MONTSHIRE MUSEUM, SATURDAY, APRIL 7, 1:30 P.M.

pHoTo: megHan dewald

When I reached the Montshire Museum’s community room, families were unpacking boxes of dominoes, Erector sets, string and tubing. Kids ranging in age from 7 to 15 had traveled with their folks from as far away as Brattleboro and Needham, Massachusetts, to set up homemade contraptions, and then link them for a room-sized chain reaction — a Rube Goldberg tribute that coincided with the museum’s ongoing exhibit on the physics of toys. Strangers quickly became friends as they figured out how to connect their devices with strings, ramps and pulleys. Museum staff tinkered with two machines that would start and end the sequence, then helped fine-tune the other 11 setups, adding whimsical fuchsia, blue and yellow crĂŞpe-paper decorations wherever they seemed appropriate. After an hour and a half, everything was balanced, wound and primed. Overeager younger siblings were warned away from bumping the tables, and each machine got a verbal run-through from its small sponsor. Then a volunteer pulled the starter string, and stuff started to happen. At “Peekaboo Farm,â€? a vertical house façade fashioned from sheet metal, cardboard ramps guided five walnuts until their weight pushed down a platform that triggered the next machine. Further along, a mousetrap balanced atop three clear-plastic crates sent a silver ball-bearing hurtling down a tunnel of blue tubing. The ball nudged a balanced supervillain figure, which fell off the edge of a table. A string tied around its waist turned on a motorized chain ladder, which released another ball bearing to bounce through a maze of hoops and rubber trampolines. The “Robo-tugger,â€? a tabletop robot controlled with a videogame-like console, let out three sinister-sounding laughs, then pulled a string that set off a startling balloon pop and a counterweighted spool. Everyone cheered and applauded after tumbling dominoes pushed a spoon to complete a circuit, and a miniature winch raised a tissue-paper sign that unfurled to read, “The End.â€? MEGHAN DEWALD

The John Dewey Honors Program’s Zeltzerman Visiting Lecture Series presents

STRINGS ATTACHED You might expect a master of Flamenco guitar to be Spanish. But Juan Carmona’s family immigrated to North Africa before he was born, then moved to France. After studying with guitar masters in Spain for eight years, the child prodigy became a virtuoso on his chosen instrument. Carmona does his Andalusian ancestors proud with six-string solos that combine lyrical lines with pulsing dance beats and brilliant finger technique. Members of his septet clap in syncopation, reminding the audience that Flamenco music is more than mere accompaniment for sultry, circling dancers stamping their feet. Drop in on a danceenhanced passion party that evokes both Gypsy bands and jazz ensembles, and hear for yourself.

EPIC PICTURE Casual fans of hobbits and elves appreciate the myth-laden world of J.R.R. Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings trilogy. They may not know that the fantasy author was also a medievalist and linguist who taught at Oxford for most of his adult life. Hardcore Tolkien scholars examine his output and influences at a conference organized by Christopher Vaccaro, a lecturer in UVM’s English department. The annual event grew out of a desire to introduce undergrads to medieval studies, using Tolkien as a lure. Now, Vaccaro notes, “We have students who are contemplating writing their theses on Tolkien.” After each day’s paper and poetry readings, attendees absorb segments of Peter Jackson’s cinematic ode to Tolkien’s oeuvre — the extended versions, of course.

TURNING UP THE HEAT Commuting by bike, switching to energy-efficient appliances and supporting renewable energy sources are great ways for individuals to cut back on CO2 emissions and reduce their “carbon footprint.� When it comes to society as a whole, though, reversing the course of global warming calls for public policy changes that require political leadership. Three months ago, environmental author Bill McKibben and a group of recent Middlebury grads decided to call attention to that need by planning a national day of climate action. Concerned citizens organize online, then gather this Saturday at more than 1300 events nationwide to wave banners requesting Congressional action on climate change — specifically, that reps and senators take steps to reduce emissions 80 percent by 2050.

Mistress

Maeve

Unplugged!

Your Gracious Guide to Love & Lust! Dear Mistress Maeve, I am a single woman in my late thirties, never been married but have had several long-term relationships. I’m currently single and dating here and there. I’m writing to you because I’ve recently come to a realization that troubles me. I’m finding that I’m most attracted to bisexual men. Time and again, I’ve enjoyed my relationships with bisexual men much

more than those with heterosexual men. When I’m with a straight man, I tend to feel boxed into the heterosexual norm, and eventually feel frustrated and bored. I just feel that bisexual men are more sensitive, and therefore make better partners. Plus, the idea of two men together turns me on like nothing else! Am I the only woman who feels this way? Is it wrong or somehow discriminatory to be attracted to only one cross section of the male population? Also, how do I find bisexuals to date without coming out and asking men if they find other guys attractive?

WomEN seeking MEN

I am a lady who is physically fit, active, honest and compassionate searching for that special man, 48-60. Enjoy dining in or out, movies, plays, travel and fun times. Good conversation is a nice way to start. 4894

mEN seeking WoMEN

Thanks, All Bi Myself Dear ABM, Back off, sister. The line for hot, eligible bi guys starts behind me. Listen, don’t second guess who you’re attracted to — just go for it. I understand that you don’t want to be narrow-minded in your search for a man, but if bi guys float your boat, I say full steam ahead. In this world of easy-access pornography, it’s not hard to see how society fetishizes entire groups of people: fat women, little people, transsexuals, etc. This type of pornography can be degrading and lead to abnormal sexual fixation by porn consumers. But I don’t get the sense that this is what’s happening for you. You’re simply saying that, after a bevy of experiences with different men, you find relationships more fulfilling with bisexual men on a number of levels. One caution — it’s shortsighted to call one whole group of men “more sensitive” than another (believe me, I’ve met some sickeningly sweet straight men). However, I can see where many bisexual men would be more sensitive, given how much self awareness and courage it takes to come out of the closet in this über-masculine, heterosexist world. As for finding bisexual guys to date, you have to be proactive. Take out a Seven Days personals ad for now, and then hit up the Pride

RARE OPPORTUNITY. Tall, fit, handsome, prof. artist will do a breathtaking rendering of you. True to life. For bold adventurous, thrillseeking women, all shapes/sizes who want to try something new and fun. Discretion assured. 4891
