WEEK IN REVIEW

Challenging Changes The debate over the Douglas administration’s “Challenges for Change” budget proposal heated up last week. On Wednesday, the left-learning Public Assets Institute released a report showing that past Vermont pols had strengthened the social safety net during times of crisis, rather than weakening it, as Governor Douglas is suggesting.

which combed “Challenges for Change” and discovered that the Department of Fish and Wildlife might be teaming up with the Lottery Commission. Follow the continuing budget cutting drama on Blurt, at sevendaysvt.com. There’s also a link there to sign up for the Daily 7.

Shay’s Totten blog post attracted comments from Independent Addison County Senate candidate Robert Wagner, who called the budget crisis “a scam,” and from Representative David Zuckerman (P-Burlington). “Just yesterday,” writes Zuckerman, “there was more talk about how cutting services for the mentally ill actually cost us far more money (even in the near term) because folks with mental illness will sadly fall into the corrections system if they fall out of the human services systems. Guess which costs more?”

Attorney General William Sorrell has called attention to a rash of local cop cases involving alleged criminal conduct. Trust-wise, it’s the next worst thing to bad priests.

Vergennes vintage-car restorers give some TLC to race machines of yesteryear B y L auren Ober Matthew Thorsen

ulling up to Restoration & Performance Motorcars in a dumpy-looking Pontiac Vibe is apt to give a person an inferiority complex, at least as a motorist. Perhaps that’s because locked inside this burgundy barn in Vergennes are Ferraris, Porsches, Mercedes Benzes and Alfa Romeos that individually are worth more than every car of every person you’ve ever known. Total. One of those supercars is a 1951 Ferrari 212 Export. Her handhammered, merlot-colored body is sinuous and buxom. Her chrome hubs shine. Her custom-made dials gleam. Her grill and headlights are expressive, seeming to whisper, “I’m ready. Let’s go.” But she wasn’t always ready to go. When RPM owner Peter Markowski acquired the car in late 2005, the Ferrari had seen better, more glamorous days. Though she used to burn up asphalt in Italy’s most prestigious road rallies, when Markowski found her she was buried in a pile of mouse skeletons and squirrel droppings in a dusty New Hampshire barn. Now, after nearly four years of painstaking research and restoration, Markowski and the car’s owner, Pennsylvania casino magnate Peter Carlino, are ready to return the 212 to the race circuit. In May, Markowski, 62, will accompany Carlino to the car’s homeland to participate in the historic Mille Miglia, a four-day, 1000-mile road rally that travels through Bologna, Rome, Florence and Modena before ending in Brescia at the foot of the Italian Alps. Markowski’s business, which he runs with his 32-year-old son Stephan, blends into its rural surroundings. A passerby would never know that, inside the clapboard barns, a crew of auto mechanics and restorers are busy bringing vintage cars back to life. It’s probably just as well that RPM is camouflaged; the value of the shop’s finished projects is nearly incalculable. To get an idea how much the restored cars are worth, one need only look at what Markowski was offered for the mangled 212 shortly after it was rescued from that old barn. Potential buyers at a car show in Florida were willing to pony up more

Peter (left) and Eben Markowski

AUTOMOTIVE than $1 million for the vehicle, Stephan says. Since he was a boy, Peter Markowski has had a fascination with cars, particularly European racing machines. While his contemporaries were begging their parents to borrow the family Imperial or Galaxie, Markowski was buying his first Ferrari, a 1950 340 America. He bought that car for $500 and spent years restoring it, then sold it in the early 1990s.

Markowski’s passion for restoration quickly gained the attention of vintagecar buffs. About 25 years ago, he ditched his sales job and started working on cars full-time. When Markowski first saw the 212 in that New Hampshire barn in 1966, he fell in love with it, he says. But the owner, Stan Hallinan, wasn’t interested in selling. He said he would eventually get to the restoration himself. It took

Markowski 39 years to persuade the eccentric hermit to let him restore the car and sell it. Hallinan had faith that Markowski would do right by the vehicle, which was only the 86th Ferrari built by the legendary Italian carmaker. But the 212 was in bad shape. Back when the car was built, Ferraris were used as rough-and-tumble racers, their bodies completely disposable. What makes a Ferrari a Ferrari is the chassis and the engine, not the curvaceous outer shell. Over the course of its life, the 212 had four bodies, some of which are featured in the book Red Arrows: Ferrari Cars at the Mille Miglia, by Giannino Marzotta. One of those bodies was a frumpy-looking station wagon. When Markowski acquired the car, her body was stripped of all its paint except the iconic Ferrari prancing-horse logo. The dash was ill-fitting, as was the aluminum body, which still bore burn marks from the car’s last race. Sexy it was not. To restore the 212 to her former glory, Markowski needed to fit her with a whole new body. So he hired the best — his older son, Eben, a self-taught metal artist. The 34-year-old’s oeuvre consists mainly of life-sized copper animal sculptures, including a cartoonish giraffe, a bas-relief black rhino, a grazing horse and a swimming sturgeon. While his studio is right next door to the RPM garage, Eben generally has nothing to do with the work that goes on over there. “Admittedly, I don’t even like cars,” he says. But when his father asked him to craft a new aluminum shell, Eben couldn’t say no. Despite having pitched in to help the elder Markowski mend sections of vintage cars, he had never re-created a complete body before. The challenge appealed to him. Plus, Eben reasons, Ferraris are “rolling pieces of artwork.” The first step in the restoration

Though the Markowskis resurrected the 212, they can’t take all the credit for the work, says Stephan. Vermont craftspeople were employed to paint the car, letter the dials, tool the leather and stitch the seats. Three different people worked to forge one lug. The gauges alone required nearly a dozen subcontractors. All that attention to detail makes the 212 a pricey, albeit pretty, piece of machinery. The Markowskis are reluctant to put a price tag on the Ferrari because, for people who buy and sell these cars, the dollar value is not as important as the vehicle’s rarity. Typically, Eben says, cars like the 212 are traded for others of the same ilk. That said, the car is “hideously valuable,” Stephan says. Eben concedes he feels conflicted. As he walks through the rows of pristine, restored Packards, Austin Healeys and Ferraris in RPM’s basement, he says it’s sometimes hard to do this kind of seemingly frivolous work after he reads about the crisis in Haiti or the conflict in Afghanistan. But he also knows that, were it not for patrons willing to spend the money, there would be a lot of outof-work car restorers — and artists. As an artist, Eben sees his efforts as an homage to the Italian craftsmen of Maranello who hand-hammered every detail on the original car. Moreover, for car collectors and Ferrari enthusiasts, the 212 has great historical significance: It typifies the industrious Italian carmaking aesthetic of the era. “In their time, they were exceedingly advanced,” Peter Markowski says. “Ferrari wasn’t the most sophisticated, but they were tough.” m

process was to take the car down to its rolling chassis. To some, junking the car’s body might seem like sacrilege. But it had to be done. “People would say it’s such a shame that you’re cutting away this history,” Eben says. “But the workmanship was poor.” By that, Eben means bodies were thrown onto these racing cars in slapdash fashion so they would be ready for the next race. Luckily for the folks at RPM, all the parts that make the car a Ferrari, including its V12 engine, are intact. In crafting the body, Eben had very few images of the car in its prime on which to draw — just a handful of grainy photographs of the early bodies. Based on those, he carefully shaped the aluminum with wooden forms and a variety of hammers and mallets. “I ended up having to do it completely old school,” Eben says. A year and a half and $200,000 worth of body work later, a precious racing machine began to emerge. But before the 212 restoration could be called a Ferrari, says Eben, it needed to be evaluated by a certified Ferrari historian. Marcel Massini, a Swiss Ferrari expert, visited RPM last year to assess the work. The Markowskis collectively held their breath as Massini picked over every detail. “I felt like I was defending a thesis,” Eben says. The metal artist worried that he hadn’t shaped the body perfectly, but that was actually a plus in Massini’s view. Original Ferraris were made by hand, and a certain amount of asymmetry was expected. It’s what gave the machines character, Eben says. Massini gave the car his seal of approval.

They Hang Pictures, Don’t They? Vermont curators punch up the art of presentation

of curators who are airing out fusty collections and using flash and glitter to lure audiences to special shows. He’s planning, for example, to uncork those bottled scents as part of an immersion experience he’s creating for visitors to “Circus Day in America: 1870-1950.” The show, which opens at the Shelburne on May 16, draws heavily on the museum’s own collection of 3500 circus figures and 500 circus posters. But Rogers also arranged loans from the Ringling Museum of Art in Florida to entertain and educate contemporary audiences who don’t know how Americans used to celebrate a big day under the big top. Rogers, an Oklahoma native who has never actually witnessed a circus, spent four years consulting some 400 books, talking with experts around the country and sifting through the Shelburne’s massive collection to help him craft the story of Circus Day. “A good curator is a storyteller,” says Aimee Marcereau DeGalan, curator at the University of Vermont’s Fleming Museum. For each of the six shows she organizes every year, she says, “I’m trying to have a thesis, or story, that will make it more understandable, more enjoyable” for visitors. Take one of this year’s exhibits, “Andy Warhol: Fashionistas and Celebrities”

Middlebury College Museum of Art Curator Emmie Donadio

(which remains on view at the museum through April 25). One of the first challenges for DeGalan, 39, was to decide which snapshots to display of the 150 bequeathed to the Fleming by the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts. For help in choosing — and in outlining the story she would seek to tell — DeGalan devoured 30 catalogs related to Warhol’s photography. Then came a debate over how to display the 85 selected images of such superstars as Calvin Klein, Muhammad Ali, Henry Kissinger and, um, Dracula.

DeGalan says she “went back and forth” with colleagues, including Fleming director Janie Cohen, on whether the photos should be hung on walls or arranged in glass cases. “I didn’t want them framed. I didn’t want them treated as art objects,” DeGalan says. “I felt that putting them in cases would make them appear as they were originally conceived” — that is, as informal pics that were often later “doctored” by the pop artist. With that issue settled in her favor, ThEy hAng PicTUREs…

ials of smells are splayed on Kory Rogers’ unkempt desk. “Let’s see,” he says. “This one is popcorn. This one is sawdust. And this one is cotton candy.” Those familiar with the august Shelburne Museum might find it odd that its assistant curator is preparing for an exhibit by reviewing a shipment of mail-ordered odors. But that would suggest they don’t know much about how museum and gallery curators do their jobs these days. The popular perception may be that curators spend much of their time poring over dusty tomes — and, now, the Internet — in search of obscure details about a long-forgotten artist. Scholarship is still integral to the profession, but curators now also need to have a flair for show biz and some techie skills to help their institutions compete with digital entertainment. Art venues around the country are staging exhibits that would never have occurred to old-school curators — and, in some cases, were not technically feasible until recently. Simply put, museums are dropping the mausoleum approach, and several in Vermont stand out for their curatorial acumen. Rogers, 32, is one of a new generation

Leviticus Myron Rogers is a patient and thoughtful little guy...and we think he’s going to be a great story teller. He has a great sense of drama...and timing! You see, his birth was expected 2-weeks earlier than his actual arrival on March 26. But he waited and waited for his dad to return home from Afganistan. And sure enough, shorly after his birth, dad Benjamin Rogers arrived at the Birthing Center... straight from the airport. His bright, beautiful and alert newborn son looked quite pleased with himself. His mom Jacqueline is mighty happy too. Both her guys are here...safe, happy and healthy. Leviticus weighed 7lb/9oz and was 22” long. The Rogers family lives in Graniteville. We wish them peace, joy and happiness. And thanks – we love great stories.

They Hang Pictures… « p.33 DeGalan figured out, with the help of exhibition designer Perry Price, how to draw maximum attention to the relatively small-scale show in the museum’s Wilbur Room. They built a temporary wall that confronts visitors as they enter and offers introductory commentary by DeGalan. A miniature runway extends behind the wall and presents such locally famous fashion items as Burton snowboard wear and Obama Flashbags. Technicians from the university’s theater department were called in to spotlight the show — and story — that DeGalan had spent months conceiving and assembling. Coincidentally, Warhol also figures prominently in “Celebrity,” a show that will open at the Middlebury College Museum of Art on May 20. Curator Emmie Donadio worked with a college alumnus and student interns to organize a small exhibit that will include images of radical abolitionist John Brown, silent-movie comic Buster Keaton and Lucius Aurelius Commodus, a Roman emperor of the second century. Highlighting some of Middlebury’s portraits in a range of media and across a wide time span “seemed like a good way to make use of the permanent collection,” says Donadio, who has worked at the museum since 1990.

hen they’re not organizing temporary shows and, in Donadio’s case, teaching art history courses, Vermont museum curators devote a lot of their time to maintaining, refreshing and expanding their institutions’ permanent collections. That’s an especially enormous task at the Shelburne, which owns more than 150,000 objects. The Fleming’s holdings include about 25,000 pieces collected by the university over the past 185 years, while Middlebury’s collection contains some 3000 works donated or purchased since 1970. Many major museums have large curatorial staffs, with specialists assigned to oversee specific areas — European paintings or American antiques, for example. But at the Shelburne, which certainly qualifies as a major museum based on its sprawling size and scope, Rogers and senior curator Jean Burks are responsible for the whole shebang, with curatorial help from director Stephan Jost and two exhibition preparators. “This collection forces you out of any box,” says Rogers, who concentrated on modern design while studying at the Smithsonian-Parsons School in Washington, D.C..

Rogers supervised the renovation of the museum’s 140-year-old lighthouse while planning the display of works by Vermont folk artist Warren Kimble in the museum’s new galleries. These days, though, when Rogers isn’t thinking circus, he’s thinking ducks. He’s been handed responsibility for the museum’s 200-piece decoy collection, which ranks as the greatest in the world but has been dulled down by a presentation that fails to highlight the skill of the carvers or tell the potentially absorbing story of wild fowl and those who hunt them. Rogers will be working to remedy those deficiencies over the next couple of years. On a recent tour of a portion of the decoy display in Dorset House, he spoke of updating the lighting and color schemes and taking some of the ducks off their perches inside glass cases to suspend them in mid-flight from the ceiling. Rogers isn’t yet certain how to proceed, however — partly because he knows almost nothing about decoys. His education will involve hands-on inspection of all the pieces and consultations with experts as he considers whether to arrange the ducks by species, by carver or by some other category. There’s also the question of how to integrate the collection’s gun component with Rogers’ inchoate plan for initiating a conversation about conservation. “It’s all very vexing,” he says. Back in Burlington, DeGalan is pondering ways of coaxing the Fleming’s visitors up to the balcony of the Marble Court and, from there, into the seldomentered rooms that house European and American art. She plans to jazz up the selection of mainly 19th-century New England paintings that ring the balcony by temporarily replacing four of them with contemporary works. Working with interns, DeGalan has already added wall texts and produced a podcast that provides background on the artists and their works. Standing on the balcony, DeGalan says she’s willing to take risks in her effort “to get people to at least come up here.” And that’s possible at the Fleming. Before she arrived here in 2008, the Fleming was “a place I’d never heard of,” says DeGalan. She acknowledges the professional prestige and high level of collegial scholarship that come with a curating position at a prestigious institution like her previous employer, the Cleveland Museum of Art. At the same time, she adds, “You can get swallowed up at a big place, and you’re always thinking in terms of blockbusters.” At a smaller museum such as the Fleming,

t’s no secret that maple syrup is one of Vermont’s most valuable commodities. As markets get flooded with this year’s crop — said to be a bumper — we decided to tap more deeply into what maple means in the Green Mountains. For starters, Kirk Kardashian offers an overview of how the global economy, climate change and new technology are affecting the maple industry. (Hint: Syrup isn’t getting any cheaper.) Then Ken Picard learns about the use of sugaring as therapy, Lauren Ober delves into a bit of sweet science, and Alice Levitt proposes that Québecois sugar-shack chefs could teach our homegrown ones a thing or two.

If maple syrup is Vermont’s liquid gold, we’re in the midst of a gold rush. In 2009, Vermont sugar makers pumped out 920,000 gallons of syrup — more than any other state and the largest amount produced here since 1944. Contrary to the economics of most commodities, that increased supply hasn’t reduced prices; in fact, it’s had the opposite effect. For a variety of reasons, not least of which is newfound demand in Europe and Asia, the average price of a gallon of Vermont maple syrup has risen from about $29 in 2007 to nearly $40 today. This translates into $226 million worth of annual economic gain to the state, which is, well, pretty sweet. The spike in production in 2009 has been attributed to the especially favorable weather — hard frosts at night and warm, sunny days — that graced the state early that winter. But there’s got to be more to the story than that, since syrup production has been steadily rising for a decade or more. In 2001, for example, Vermont produced less than a third of 2009’s yield. According to industry insiders, at least three other forces have been pushing more maple into market: expansion of existing sugar makers’ operations, entry of new sugar makers into the business, and technological advances that

have made it easier and cheaper to produce more syrup than ever before. Don Bourdon, 62, has observed all those trends in his 15 years of boiling sap in Woodstock. A county director of the Vermont Maple Sugar Makers’ Association, the industry’s nonprofit advocacy group, Bourdon will increase the number of trees he taps from 5000 to upward of 7000 in 2011. That sounds like a lot of trees, but Bourdon says it’s becoming more common to see full-time sugar makers tapping 30,000 or even 50,000 and making a nice living at it. “Everybody’s responding to the demand out there,” he says. “There’s increased consumer recognition, and maple syrup is gaining popularity as a natural sweetener.” The widespread use of syrup as a sweetener and food additive has not only raised the average price of the product, Bourdon notes; it’s shrunk the gap in value between grade A syrup and grade B. But Bourdon isn’t just working harder; he’s working smarter. Like many of the larger producers of maple syrup, Bourdon has installed a vacuum-tube system to draw the sap out of the trees, a reverse-osmosis machine to raise the sugar content of the sap before he heats it, and an oil-fired evaporator. All of that is a far cry from how maple syrup was made just 40 years ago: by collecting it in buckets hung from trees and cooking it in a wood-fired evaporator. “It used to be that a quarter gallon of sap from a tree was good,” Bourdon explains, “but now we’re getting a third to a half gallon.” And, thanks to the reverse-osmosis machine, which presses the sap against a filter and delivers a thicker liquid to the sugarhouse, the time and money spent boiling have decreased dramatically. Gary Gaudette is proud of that news. He’s the president of Swanton-based Leader Evaporator, the only commercial manufacturer of maple sugaring equipment in the United States.

What’s on tap? Suds from locals such as laWson’s finest liquids as well as one from Stone Brewing Co. and others from afar, but Hamilton says he can’t get more specific than that. Why? Because the brewers are holding out on the details. “They’re like, ‘Oh good, we’ll send you something special!’” he relates.

The team behind Montpelier’s tHree penny taproom is really, um, hoppy about the bar and pub’s upcoming one-year anniversary. To celebrate, they’re throwing the first ever “Montbeerlier Festival” on May 1, from 3 to 10 p.m. “We’re doing an event with maybe 10 or 12 different casks,” says co-owner Wes Hamilton. “We’re putting a tent in the parking lot out back.” The Primate Fiasco, a band hailing from Northampton, Mass., will rock the lot with its selfdescribed “psychedelic Dixieland” tunes.

Last fall, state Representative kesHa ram (D-Burlington) received an email from Jodi WHalen and pHil merrick of august first bakery in Burlington. The couple asked Ram to help save their business. After a routine health code inspection, a state official had informed Whalen and Merrick that with only one bathroom in their café, they could legally seat just 25 people — minus the number of employees currently at work. Fire code allows 49 seats in a space of August First’s size. Wastewater regulations cut the number to 45. So how did they come up with 25? Call it the state of Vermont’s porcelain standard. k Phil Merric The Department of Health once followed the plumbing rules set forth by the International Code Council, which permits 75 people per bathroom, but it has since set its own regs. Although places with just one john are strictly limited in terms of capacity, Ram notes that an eatery can go “stadium size” if it has just two toilets. Ram says she’s trying to figure out why the state departed from the ICC guidelines. When the legislature convened in January, Ram scheduled a hearing at which Whalen and Merrick voiced their concerns. State medical examiner steVen sHapiro and al Burns, sanitarian supervisor for the Vermont Department of Health, said they fear long lines for a public bathroom will cause diners to skip washing their hands. “So we asked, ‘Are states where they have a different ratio having a public health crisis?’” notes Ram. All involved are still hard at work researching that question. Ram hopes she can raise sufficient interest among her fellow legislators to see the problem addressed by adoption of a new standard. State Senator tim asHe (P/DChittenden) is working on solutions. Ram says other legislators have agreed it’s random that the rules govern establishments with one bathroom, but not with two. “It’s an arbitrary rule that punishes small businesses like ours, and we’ve been working hard to change it,” says Whalen. As a temporary measure, August First just received a permit to operate with 45 seats, thanks to a shared hallway bathroom. “We’re approved for the next year,” Whalen says.

This weekend, Waterbury’s Hen of tHe Wood restaurant will debut a pair of new wines, available by the glass or bottle. What’s so special about that? Both feature the spot’s new private label. According to manager William mcneil, a CIA-trained chef currently working on sommelier certification, he and chef-owner eric Warnstedt have long dreamed of having a Hen of the Wood wine imprint. It became a reality when Thomas Houseman of Anne Amie Vineyards in Oregon agreed to work with them. Warnstedt’s friend lance Violette, who designed Olympian Shaun White’s snowboards, contributed the label graphics. McNeill selected his two favorite Anne Amie bottles to bear the Hen of the Wood name: a Müller-Thurgau and a pinot noir. He says the white goes best with seafood and has a touch of sweetness along with a citrusy acidity. “Overall,” he says, “it’s light with a slight minerality.” The red, despite notes of “cedar smoke,” isn’t too rich, McNeil suggests. But there’s “also that dark, ripe cherry thing going on.” He recommends pairing it with the restaurant’s “tartine” of its namesake mushrooms on toast. On April 20, Warnstedt and Houseman will host a release party and four-course dinner. At press time, the meal was nearly sold out. Wanna sip the vino at home?

Maple Sugar Rush « p.36 spouts, drill bits or buckets, Leader is probably where you’ll get them. Gaudette is quick to point out that his company has plenty of competition from firms in Québec, which supplies 70 percent of the world’s maple syrup. Nonetheless, since 2005, Leader has increased the number of employees at its 45,000-square-foot plant by 22. “The industry has expanded in leaps and bounds in the last few years,” Gaudette says. And it could be poised to expand again, because of an invention of Timothy Perkins, the director of the University of Vermont’s Proctor Maple Research Center. As Perkins and other sugar makers know, tap holes tend to close near the end of the sugaring season. The phenomenon is caused by sap sometimes flowing backward through the tube, injecting the hole with bacteria and other microorganisms. If the hole closes after the tree has stopped producing sap, it’s not a problem, but if the sap’s still running, as is often the case, it results in lower yields down the line. To keep the tap hole open, Perkins created the Check-Valve spout adapter. Made from food-grade nylon, it’s a sterile tap with a valve that prevents sap from flowing back into the tree. According to Perkins’ research, it works. “We’ve never seen it yield less sap,” he says. In fact, the tap has added from 20 to 100 percent sap volume, depending on its use and the combination of natural variables. Since Perkins is an employee of UVM, his invention became the school’s intellectual property, and it licenses the valve’s production to Leader Evaporator. Leader, in turn, outsources the molding of the valve to Progressive Plastics in Williamstown, making for a heartwarming local business story. This is the first year the Check-Valve has been used commercially — Gaudette says his company has sold more than 2 million, and he estimates 500,000 are being used in Vermont — so the device’s effects have yet to be quantified.

Gaudette thinks the valve may allow sugar makers to tap trees earlier without needing to worry about the holes closing up — a tactic that would have helped during this year’s unexpectedly early sugaring season. If syrup really is Vermont’s signature cash crop, we all have good reason to ponder how global warming may affect it in the future. Maple trees thrive best in the state’s current moist continental climate; warmer temperatures could make them struggle and die off. Perkins, who has researched the issue, says a massive maple migration, if it ever happens, is a long way off. “It will happen to some extent,” he says, “but a lot of the models that predicted it discounted forest management by people, and if people want maple trees in Vermont, they can keep them here for a long time.” Perkins notes that increased temperatures have already affected maple sugaring. Over the last 40 years, he says, the sugaring season has shifted 10 days earlier and decreased in length from 33 days to 30. “But that’s largely been offset by increases in technology of sap collection,” he adds. Assuming an unlimited demand for maple products, any good capitalist may want to do some back-of-the-envelope mathematics and see just how much untapped potential still exists here. It’s not a difficult calculation in the abstract. According to the Vermont Maple Sugar Makers’ Association, about one of every four trees in the state is a sugar maple. The Agency of Natural Resources estimates there are 18 billion trees in Vermont. That translates into 4.5 billion maples. If they were all tapped and yielding a third of a gallon annually — with 40 gallons of sap going into each gallon of syrup — Vermont could produce 37,500,000 gallons of syrup. Figure an average price of $40 per gallon, and the crop is worth $1.5 billion. Sugar high, anyone? m haRRy bliss

December 6, 1911, Brattleboro grocer G.O. Abbott struck a damning blow to an oil industry recently hobbled by the federal dissolution of the Standard Oil Company. It seems Mr. Abbott — who, the New York Times helpfully noted, “has an auto” — drove his car with maple syrup in the oil tank instead of motor oil. Not that old Abbott intended to tweak the noses of the oil tycoons. According to the Times account, he kept his spare motor oil in a maple syrup can, and when his mechanic changed his oil, he got the cans mixed up. The car ran “smoothly and sweetly” for 20 miles before anything went wrong. “Then, after coasting down a grade with the clutch thrown out, the motor cooled maple sugar rush

For the residents of Spring Lake Ranch, making maple syrup isn’t just about tapping sugarbushes, gathering buckets of sap and boiling it down. It’s also about reducing life to its essentials. Spring Lake Ranch is a therapeutic working community for men and women 17 and older who’ve been diagnosed with mental illnesses, substance abuse problems and other psychiatric issues. The 500-acre ranch in Cuttingsville, just south of Rutland, was founded in 1932. And its underlying philosophy is aptly demonstrated by its history: The first structure ever built there was the sugarhouse. The idea behind the program, explains director Becki Bates, is both complex and simple. “What gives all of our lives meaning and connectedness oftentimes is our work,” she says. “One of the things you lose in mental illness is your sense of meaning and your connection to other people.” For Spring Lake’s residents — or “ranchers,” as they prefer to be called — that means healing and recovery are best accomplished in a supportive, healthy work environment where they can regain that lost sense of purpose and achievement. And what sweeter achievement is there than turning thousands of gallons of sap into maple syrup? Spring Lake Ranch doesn’t use the “latest and greatest” technologies for collecting sap and boiling it down, Bates says, nor are the sugaring jobs highly mechanized or specialized. Instead, participants use 2000 old-fashioned buckets to gather the sap, and everyone on the ranch lends a hand throughout the sugaring process. “We try to be a little more slow paced and quiet, especially in the sugarhouse,” Bates adds. “What we’re trying to do is help people be connected with their work and each other, with people for whom that’s often very difficult.” The ranchers find the steamy

environment of the sugarhouse serene, she says, and it tends to foster deep and contemplative discussions about the meaning of life and people’s relationOVER-THE-HUMP NIGHT • KIDS EAT FREE* ships to others. $1.75 Miller Lite Bottles • $4 Chardonnay by glass But the sugarhouse isn’t just for *Limit 3 kids per family with two paid adult entrees therapy.

food Maple Sugar Rush « p.39 and the syrup crystallized on the piston,” the Times continues. “Mr. Abbott says if he had kept the engine running he would have finished the run on syrup without trouble.” If you don’t consider clogged oil lines a problem, that is. While syrup as oil might make for a sticky situation under the hood, Scott Gordon, a chemist and founder of Green Technologies, a biofuel producer in Winooski, says it’s not a horrible idea. Vermont’s largest export isn’t an ideal choice to keep a car’s moving parts running smoothly, he notes, but it could work as a lubricant. “Putting maple syrup in for oil might be the one place you could get away with it, because oil is already full of crap,” Gordon says. This got us thinking about other potential non-food-related uses of maple syrup. Before exploring them, 1 COURT STREET LEBANON NH 603.448.1711 CHURCH STREET MARKETPLACE, BURLINGTON VT 802.660.9533 however, we’ll MAPLE TREE PLACE, WILLISTON VT 802.857.2200 need to assume cost 88 MERCHANTS ROW, W RUTLAND VT 802.747.7747 www.ThreeTomatoesTrattoria.com isn’t an issue. This year, maple syrup costs between $50 and $60 a 8v-ThreeToms033110.indd 1 3/26/10 4:14:42 PMgallon, compared with a gallon of gasoline at $2.30. An entire barrel of crude oil hovers around $85. So, unless you bathe in a tub full of hundred-dollar bills, the following suggestions will have to remain theoretical. In an email, Gordon rattles off a whole list of new maple applications: “If you were trapped on a desert island with maple syrup, you could feed your horse on it; ferment it and distill it to make ethanol (which will burn); eat it yourself and push the car; generate a very small voltage with it through osmotic pressure or do a small amount of mechanical work through osmotic pressure (in relation to normal water … basically reversing the energy put in to remove the water).” That’s assuming you somehow transported your horse and car to the desert island to begin with. Gordon also offers that, once you got off that desert island, you could pour straight maple syrup into someone’s gas tank to seize their engine and clog the injectors. A “classic prank,” he writes. Intrigued by the less actionable possibility of making ethanol from syrup, I go down to Gordon’s biofuel lab to learn more. Since Gordon is a serious scientist, he balks at the notion of making fuel in 15 Center St., Burlington a way that is economically prohibitive, (just off Church Street) unsustainable and just plain stupid.

expensive way to get from here to there, but he humors me. To make ethanol, he explains, you’d first have to throw some yeast in the syrup. Once it fermented, you’d need to distill out the water so the product would be 200 proof, the standard for all ethanol fuels. Then comes the task of removing the water. Gordon says reverse osmosis would “get you part of the way there,” but to complete the process, you’d most likely have to employ azeotropic distillation and a chemical such as benzene. The technique would take as long as making ethanol from corn and could be used to power a gasoline engine, though not a diesel, Gordon says.

If you were feeling clever and science-y, you could also use maple syrup to blow up a balloon or lift a weight through osmotic pressure, says Gordon. Finally, he supposes maple syrup could be polymerized and made into plastics in the same way corn and potatoes are. But, given that the stuff is liquid gold and considered a luxury item, Gordon recommends keeping it where it belongs — on your waffles. m For more info on green Technologies LLC, visit greentechvt.com.

Sugar HigH

B y A l i c e l ev i t t

According to the Canadian government’s official website, in 2009, Québec produced 8.3 million gallons of maple syrup to Vermont’s 920,000. We may be the top dogs when it comes to maple in the U.S., but next to the Queebs we’re chumps. Though official numbers may not back up the supposition, many would argue the same is true when it comes to maple meals. Sure, we have syrup-laced church suppers, and there are celebrated breakfasts at Branon’s West View Maples in Fairfield and Dakin Farm in Ferrisburgh. But for an intensely maple-driven meal, it’s worth packing your passport. The competition is fierce to get dinner at a sugar shack. The Cabane à Sucre in St-Benoît de Mirabel — belonging to harr Montréal über-chef y bLis s Martin Picard of Au Pied de Cochon — sells out its Marchto-May dinners in August. Most other maple meals are packed weeks in advance. What’s the appeal? There’s sweet and there’s fat, and lots of it. Only an hour and a half from Burlington, Cabane du PicBois (“cabin of the woodpecker,” to you Anglophones) is in Brigham, Québec, just off the beaten path near Cowansville, a biggish city packed with chain restaurants such as PFK (Poulet Frit Kentucky). André Pollender and his wife, Danielle, began their sugaring business in 2000. Pollender is a cabinetmaker by trade, but he’s also in the fourth generation of a sugaring family. He says the hearty meals that he serves happened organically, after the couple issued dinner invitations to friends in their first season. Word of mouth, or what Pollender calls word “to God’s ears,” necessitated building a larger space — patterned after an antique barn — and taking reservations from the maple-hungry masses. Diners sit at long tables, sharing bench space with strangers who quickly become comrades in cuisine. The meal begins when one of the elderly servers trudges over with the world’s smokiest pea soup. Chunks of veggies melt with each bite of the velvety potage, but it’s the mighty, meaty bacon that defines its

taste. There’s warm bread — crusty outside and chewy inside — to mop up every drop. For the main event, guests line up at the small but incredibly efficient buffet. There’s not a lot on offer, but there’s also not a lot anyone would turn down. Both salad and coleslaw get zest from Pollender’s prized invention: maple vinegar. The vinegar’s power has won PicBois numerous international awards, televised appearances as far away as Japan and a coveted spot in the Créatifs de l’érable — an exclusive group of Québecois who skillfully showcase syrup in their cooking. Though he says his grandmother concocted a version of the vinegar decades ago, Pollender refined the process, aging his unpasteurized sap in oak and adding spices similar to those you’d find in apple cider. This makes the salad dressing, served over mesclun, reminiscent of a balsamic vinaigrette, but with the compelling additions of cinnamon and cloves. The coleslaw is decidedly darker than mayonnaise-based versions — a more adult dish than the usual picnic fare. The cold bar also includes house-brined pickles. Don’t expect the usual mushy buffet beets: The ones here are al dente and gloriously balanced. The pork parade starts with cretons, cubes of tender pâté that are the French Canadians’ nod to their continental forebears’ rillettes. These are just a warm-up for a barrage of meat that includes the most tender ham I’ve ever tasted (bathed in maple, bien sûr); maple sausages composed almost entirely of melt-in-your-mouth fat; rich, dark baked beans with more pork belly than legume; and oreilles de Crisse, or “Christ’s ears.” This last item, Pollender explains, is good, old-fashioned salt pork. Why bring Jesus into it? According to Pollender, “When it fries, the popping and crackling is so beautiful it pleases Christ.” All the pork products

FOR ME, IT FEELS LESS LIKE A BOOKING JOB THAN JUST PLANNING A PARTY EVERY WEEK. J O E AD L E R , H O S T O F BUR GUND Y TH UR S D AYS

ing all these standards?” Adler asks a few nights later over a beer. Adler founded Burgundy Thursdays in October 2009, following talks with Parima co-owner Daryl Campney. He had hoped to create a regular series centered on local and regional songwriters. But Adler was careful to steer clear of more traditional open mic or in-the-roundstyle settings. Instead, he says his goal is to offer “more of a show, a presentation.” Adler likes to book performers from a variety of genres and styles, people unlikely to appear together anywhere else in town. Local songwriters as stylistically divergent as neo-soul siren Myra Flynn, cosmo-rural crooner Brett Hughes, rocker Steph Pappas and folk guru Rik Palieri, among many others, have either played Burgundy Thursdays or are scheduled for upcoming shows. The mashup of talent and styles gives the evening a loose, anything-goes feel. On the harmonica–guy night, Power’s backing band of students occasionally misses changes. Bly stops a song more than once, and even tries playing one riff several times, adamant that she could remember how it starts. Somehow, it all works. “I love that you can really play anything,” deLaurentis says via email. “Covers, originals, whatever.” “It’s deﬁnitely the kind of thing that I’ve always really wanted to ﬁnd — not necessarily ever thought about cultivating or curating,” Adler says. “For me, it feels less like a booking job than just planning a party every week.” While Adler’s booking approach

makes Burgundy Thursdays a casual, who’s-who-in-Burlington get-together, there is a silent partner, equally important to the evening’s relaxed atmosphere: the room itself. Parima’s Acoustic Lounge, aka the Frank Lloyd Wright Room, is a long, rectangular space set apart, and a few steps down, from the bustle of the main restaurant. Mirrors line each long wall and red cloth banners hang from the ceiling. There’s a smattering of tables, chairs and deep couches, and a small stage and baby grand piano at the far end. “I typically end my emails with ‘BYOO’ — Bring Your Own Opium,” jokes Aaron Flinn, a veteran of both the Acoustic Lounge and Burgundy Thursdays. The local songwriter was part of a special Burgundy Thursdays band last December that featured Adler and mandolinist Eric Segalstad and covered Bruce Springsteen’s album Nebraska. At a more recent edition of BT, the same band covered Warren Zevon’s Excitable Boy. Jokes aside, the room’s decorative style could easily be deﬁned as “opiumden chic.” It’s the perfect spot to order a Catch Burgundy Thursdays with Joe Adler at the Parima Acoustic Lounge weekly at 9 p.m. Free.

EriC tayLor,

even if you have

never heard of Eric Taylor. The Texan is revered in modern Americana circles as the quintessential “songwriter’s songwriter.” He has seen his music performed by legions of disciples — Lyle Lovett, Steve Earle and Nancy Griffith most notable among them. Hear those influential tunes straight from the source on Tuesday, April 20, and Wednesday, April 21, as Taylor gives a pair of intimate performances at the Good Times Café in Hinesburg.

glass of wine, sink into a plush couch, and let the night unfold. Adler says the Lounge feels “like you’re in a living room.” And he agrees that it’s a big influence on the Burgundy Thursdays vibe. “That’s what I get from the artists who play,” he says. “It’s so nice to have a listening room where people can come and listen to the songs and not be drowned out by a bar or noise in the background. You’ve got a room where people can sit down, and if they want to go have a chat, there’s a bar outside, behind a closed door.” Joshua Panda, who has played both the bigger room with his electric band and the Acoustic Lounge for Burgundy Thursdays, agrees. “I think Burgundy Thursdays offer Burlington a relaxed environment where, as in my case, you can drop in and see the sweaty, wailing, shaking front man of the Joshua Panda Band singing his softer and more livingroom-friendly songs.” Adler says attendance has ranged from “sparse” to standing room only; most nights the room is “about halfpacked.” “We played in front of a standingroom-only crowd,” says Segalstad of the Nebraska performance. “People literally sat on the mic cables in front of the stage.’” On another recent Thursday, a lineup including Justin Levinson and Myra Flynn played to a fluctuating crowd. At one point there were about 10 people, and the room was comfortably full an hour later. Flynn sat down at the piano to the largest audience of the night. The room bubbled with conversation, as folks enjoyed their drinks and friends. The moment she started singing, however, extraneous noises came to a halt. Flynn is a commanding performer who can stop conversations mid-syllable. If only her powers extended to stifling electronics. A song or two later, a loud, garish cellphone ring cut through the room. Gamely, Flynn played on … as the guy with the phone answered the call in the back of the room. Over Facebook the next morning, Adler pointed out that the guy could have taken two steps and been outside the door. But then, he added, “On a more positive note, nice hanging out last night, fun show!” We then considered the merits of his medley combining The Who’s “See Me, Feel Me” and Britney Spears’ “Toxic.” Did it work? Of course. Because that’s how Burgundy Thursdays roll.m

Sunday The Midnight Society

Dirty little secret time. I Hate — capital “H” — compiling music listings every week. Hate it. It is pure tedium and an utterly thankless task. Oh, sure, make the occasional goof and I’ll have three emails, a voicemail and a brick through my window about it by Thursday morning. But does anyone ever write in to say, “Hey, really enjoyed that open mic listing at Radio Bean this week”? Not even once. In three years. Sigh… Where was I? Ah, yes. Bitching. The thing is, music listings are a necessary evil. In fact, it’s the most important part of my job as “that guy from Seven Days.” Music listings pretty much form the foundation for my entire section of 7D. By compiling them, I get a comprehensive overview of what is happening every week in a way most people don’t. I then distill that information into easily digestible pieces, to spare you the soul-crushing boredom of combing through each and every freakin’ listing looking for something cool, until your eyeballs glaze and you brain explodes and… Where was I? Oh, right. Distilling. Typically, I try and spread the love around as best I can and cherry-pick bits from various venues around the state. It doesn’t always work out that way. But that’s the goal. Except this week. This week, I’m suggesting you be one place and one place only, all week: The Monkey House. [Note to other advertising venues: Just kidding!] Every night they have the coolest show going. Period. Don’t believe me? Check it out, in pandering USA Today snippet style (for brevity’s sake … mostly):

open mic, only instead of an acoustic guitar and sappy-ass love songs, you bring your favorite stack of wax — sorry, kids, no Serato allowed — and spin it on the wheels of steel. Much like Nagle spins a wide variety of music as his alter-ego DJ Disco Phantom — from hip-hop to house to indie rock and beyond — eclecticism is encouraged. The next installment is this Saturday. Speaking of Disco Phantom, dude was just added to this Thursday’s show at the Higher Ground Showcase Lounge with heady alt-jazz outfits Telepath and the AS-IS Ensemble. Oh, he’ll also spin between sets at the Morning Benders gig … ahem. If you still haven’t said your goodbyes to Gabrielle and Burette Douglas of The Cush, you have but one opportunity left: This Sunday at Radio Bean, Gabby’s allgrrrl side project The Dwellers celebrate the release of their new album. And then, that’s it. They’re gone. Finis. Got it? This just in: Longtime local bar band Dan Parks and the Blame shall henceforth be known only as The Blame. That is all. Vultures of Cult have just released their long-awaited stoner rock opera Cold Hum — that’s right, stoner rock opera. As of this writing, I’m only about one listen in. But once is all I need to know that it friggin’ rocks. Hard. And I’m not even a stoner … as far as you know. Download it for free, and read the harrowing tale surrounding the album’s ill-fated recording sessions, at vulturesofcult. bandcamp.com. I’m the first to admit that I don’t write much about reggae in these pages unless it involves making fun of Reggae Fest being cancelled, and then not being cancelled, and then being cancelled again and then … where was I? Oh, right, not making fun of Reggae Fest. Anyway, Nectar’s has back-to-back weekends of

pretty stellar island vibrations, beginning this Saturday with St. Croix’s Ras Iba, who’ll be backed by Yahkali and Amandla. You can also catch sets from VT’s own Rise Up! sound-system crew. The following Saturday, April 24, brings Toussaint the Liberator with Buru Style and DJ Big Dog. • It promises to be a big weekend for the Vermont Youth Orchestra Association, which has (count ’em!) six performances lined up this weekend, between the Elley-Long Music Center at St. Mike’s and the Mahaney Center for the Arts at Middlebury College. The main events are the Vermont Youth Chorus and Chorale Spring Concerts — Thursday at St. Mike’s, Friday in Middlebury — which will feature the premiere of a brand-new composition written by members of the VY Concert Chorale entitled “Come With Me, We Can Fly.” Which reminds me of a great bumper sticker. On it are a few bars of sheet music and the caption: “If you can read this, thank a music teacher.” Indeed. For a full schedule of events, visit www.vyo.org. • I’m told you haven’t bought your tickets for The Low Anthem at Bethany Church in Montpelier on Thursday, April 22. What gives? • A very happy birthday to local songwriters Kelly Ravin (4/16) and Zack duPont (4/15) , who will split a bill at Parima’s Main Stage this Friday in celebration of their respective big days. DuPont recently emailed yours truly asking for suggestions for some newish songwriters to listen to. I responded with folks such as Joe Pug, A.A. Bondy and the aforementioned Thao Nguyen, all of whom have been in heavy rotation for me of late. But do you know who I really think you folks should be listening to? Zack duPont. m

CHAMPIONSHIP

(SELF-RELEASED, CD)

SAT//APRIL.24 // 77PM MEMORIAL AUDITORIUM

With their self-titled 2008 debut, the Michele Fay Band established themselves as a worthy addition to Vermont’s vibrant folk scene. Though not without its flaws, the album also introduced Fay as a unique shear ENVY welcomes Ellie 3/4/10 Trono! 16t-vfai031010.indd 1 4:35:21 PM voice among the state’s growing chorus of talented Americana songwriters. On the Ripton-based quartet’s recently released follow-up, Travelin’ That Road, Fay and company sand away many of the blemishes from that first recording with a fine grit and light touch. The result is a sophomore effort that, while noticeably more polished, retains an appealing, down-home charm. The record comprises a cozy mix of originals, covers and traditionals that, with few exceptions, are woven seamlessly together. “Hold on to Your Golden Crown” leads off, reintroducing Fay as a sturdy songwriter. “When you’re doubting all that you done, / When you’re blinded by the shear sun, / Feel a victim of circumstance, / You deserve to dance,” she sings in her familiar, 160 College St., 2nd Floor | 865 (ENVY) 3689 | shearenvyvt.com airy croon. Fay has a naturally pleasant voice. But a tendency to slide in pitch, particularly 16t-shearenvy033110.indd 1 3/29/10 1:49:18 PM at the ends of phrases, somewhat marred her debut. It is an issue she seems to have mostly solved. However, Fay’s delivery on the cleverly wistful rag “Simple Life” is frustratingly thin — perhaps just beyond the upper reaches of her range. She rebounds on the following track, a sort of waltz mashup of the traditional “Midnight on the Water” and Walt Aldridge’s classic “Ain’t No Ash Will Burn.” Fiddler Lausanne Allen and Fay’s husband, mandolinist Tim Price, unfurl a delightful opening melody. Fay matches their breezy reel with a particularly self-assured performance, perhaps her finest of the album. “Addie Card” marks Fay’s most impressive songwriting effort. Fay takes no small amount of inspiration from her Vermont surroundings. Here, she uses her rural backdrop to chilling effect, spinning a gritty folk tale of young love and hard living in an old mill town. Call it Green Mountain TICKET AVAILABLE AT

gothic. “Old Love” is a touching ballad, celebrating the profound bond formed through a lifetime spent in love with one person. It’s hard not to swoon as Fay and Allen sing in dovetail harmony, “If there ever comes a time / When your hand is not in mine / It will only be because / We have reached the oldest love.” Speaking of Fay and Allen, their a cappella rendition of “Across the Blue Mountains” is a stunner. The title track brings Travelin’ That Road to its humble, homespun conclusion, a ﬁtting end to a humble, homespun gem. Catch the Michele Fay Band at Middlebury’s 51 Main this Saturday. DAN BOLLES

Flood in the Fizzy Factory, A Song for the Troops (SELF-RELEASED, CD)

If you happen to listen to A Song for the Troops from Burlington’s Flood in the Fizzy Factory, here are some things you may wonder about. One: What the hell is a fizzy factory? Two: What would happen if Joe Strummer, Devo and Zamphir collaborated? Three: Um … no, really. What the hell is a fizzy factory? For now, let’s stick with the answerable. Flood in the Fizzy Factory is a quartet composed of bassist Howard Ring, drummer Bob Greenlese, keyboardist Jim White and guitarist/ringleader Dave Kleh. Troops is the band’s second release, following their selftitled 2008 debut. However, it’s their first effort in the current configuration. Gone is “Sherman,” the drum machine whose robotic chops largely (and suspectly) defined their initial attempt. As fond as original members White and Kleh undoubtedly were of Sherm’s work, Greenlese’s flesh-and-blood rhythms are a notable improvement, adding a welcome human quality to FFF’s bizarro New Wave stylings. Led by Kleh, FFF present a ragged

but oddly endearing take on the genre. A real estate agent by day, Kleh makes a surprisingly compelling front man, delivering somewhat rudimentary and (intentionally?) obtuse musings in the casually dry tone one might expect from, well, a real estate agent. But it works for the most part. FFF bear a clear affinity for the Talking Heads and front man David Byrne. We know this because Kleh spells it out on the record’s second track, “Eniac.” Over a bubbling electronic harpsichord line, he sings in a barely melodic near-monotone, “David Byrne, we need you, man, / Please stop making sense again. / Donald Fagen, please come back / we’re sick of hearing all this crap.” Especially as indie rock increasingly turns toward 1980s New Wave for inspiration, Kleh’s clever apathy, and FFF’s general lo-fi bent, would likely go a long way with the hipster set. How’s that for irony? Realtor chic, anyone? The title track owes a debt to the electropunk dub of London Calling-era Clash. Curiously, Kleh’s vocals are set deep in the mix, while the primary melodic work is set forth by what sounds like an electronic pan flute. Consider question two from the opening paragraph answered. “Embers” starts strong but falls victim to uncomfortable earnestness from Kleh. Unfortunately, what begins as a relatively straightforward rocker devolves into limp psychedelia, highlighted (lowlighted?) by a poorly executed vocal call and response at the finale. “Obscure” is an electro-fueled rant against hipness that might be so uncool, it’s actually kinda hip. See “irony” above. Though the quickie impromptu jam “Martian Sailor Song” technically closes the album, “In the Days to Come” is really its last song. The seven-minute epic is alternately goofy, strangely poetic and charmingly geeky. In other words, it is Flood in the Fizzy Factory in microcosm. FFF play the indoor farmers market at Burlington’s Memorial Auditorium this Saturday, April 17. DAN BOLLES

Jakob Dylan for resting on his laurels. He released five records as the front man for platinum-selling, Grammy-

winning rock outfit The Wallflowers. He quietly wowed critics in 2008 with his debut solo album, Seeing Things. Oh, and we hear his dad is pretty good, too. However, Dylan continues to find ways to challenge himself and his listeners, such as on the recently released Women and Country. The album, produced by T-Bone Burnett and featuring choice

Magnetic Resonance Like many great guitarists, Leo Kottke and Jerry Douglas may be less famous than the vocalists they’ve worked with. Finger-picking master Kottke played and sang on two albums with Phish’s Mike Gordon, while Douglas, widely acclaimed for his work on the Dobro resonator guitar, will be touring this summer with Alison Krauss and Elvis Costello. But this Friday in New Hampshire, the two lords of the strings collaborate with each other — for just the second time. Douglas has contributed his signature acoustic sounds to the albums of artists including Emmylou Harris, T-Bone Burnett, Phish, Béla Fleck, Paul Simon and Dolly Parton — and he’s picked up 12 Grammys along the way. Show producer Dave McLaughlin says Douglas is making a local stop primarily “because he’s interested in playing with Leo.” Expect the two to play solo sets, then a tandem one that generates heat — no electricity required.

True Griot E

legant, ectomorphic and intense, Malian singer-songwriter Rokia Traoré is the sort of performer who’ll have you convinced you know what she’s singing about even if you don’t understand a word of her native Bamana. While her music has always drawn from West African traditions, Traoré is a classic cosmopolitan: A diplomat’s daughter, she lived in the U.S. and Middle East in her youth and played in a hip-hop band while studying in Brussels. Since her breakthrough in 1997, the singer — who, unusually for a woman in the African tradition, accompanies herself on acoustic guitar — has made four albums and collaborated with Peter Gabriel and the Kronos Quartet. Traoré brings her strikingly intimate, ever-evolving sounds to the Hop on Tax Day, then to the Flynn on Sunday.

Pretty Poison “My only love, sprung from my only hate!” That’s the kind of romantic angst any teenager, or anyone who’s been one, can appreciate. But with its ferocious wordplay and resonant theme of a city torn by feuding factions, Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet gives mature minds plenty to chew on, too. No wonder it’s inspired so many modern interpretations. This one, a collaboration of New York’s Guthrie Theater and the Acting Company, has a Roaring ’20s look and an antic tone — it’s all fun and games until the swords come out. Reviewers of past performances single out William Sturdevant as Romeo’s bud Mercutio for praise; Tad Simons of Mpls.St.Paul Magazine says he “kicks into a weird sort of acting hyper-drive where he’s channeling Robin Williams, Eddie Murphy and Chris Rock all at once.” Come for the romance, stay for the bromance — and see why the New York Times calls the production “unleashed and intense.”

04.14.10-04.21.10

Thanks to anime, manga, video games and Hello Kitty tchotchkes, American kids today may think they know Japanese culture like their own. But this Saturday, locals have a chance to sample an older and less familiar tradition of the island nation: kabuki drama, which dates back to the 17th century. That afternoon, Toyosaburo Hanayagi, a dance artist who appeared in Julie Taymor’s kabuki-inspired film version of the Greek tragedy Oedipus Rex,, leads a workshop for preregistered students. In the evening, the JapanAmerica Society of Vermont, TOYO and Aikido of Champlain Valley host a celebration featuring demonstrations of aikido, karate and ju-jitsu; music and kabuki performances; traditional flower arrangements; and food. The proceeds benefit Aikido of Champlain Valley’s Samurai Youth Program, which teaches kids peaceful solutions to everyday conflict — a reminder that there’s more to martial arts than high kicks.

Pilgrim’s Progress Art review: Sally Linder

62 ART

SEVEN DAYS

04.14.10-04.21.10

SEVENDAYSVT.COM

ally Linder has lived in Burlington for most of her 36-year painting career, but her palette looks nothing like Vermont’s. Lustrous earth tones fill Linder’s canvases, whether she’s demonstrating her figurative skills or letting loose with abstract-expressionist swirls and scumbles. Her glowing renderings of desert colors come from sojourns in southern Africa and the American West, the settings or inspirations for many of the works in Linder’s stirring show at the Firehouse Gallery. A trio of representational paintings readily visible from the Church Street Marketplace is sure to lure passersby to “Pilgrimage: Remote and Inner Landscapes,” which surveys Linder’s output since 1992. Each of these pieces depicts everyday scenes — with some imagined embellishments — of Soweto and other black South African townships that remain as segregated and impoverished now as in the days of apartheid. Amid shacks plopped on the grassy veld, however, most of the people in Linder’s paintings seem quite happy — even joyous. In “Luminous Beings,” for example, a woman overscaled in relation to the children around her stretches her arms toward heaven and exults. All three of these brilliantly lit compositions take the form of triptychs, with a central panel flanked by hinged wings. The association with early Christian and Gothic altar pieces is not coincidental. Linder’s work is suffused with a questing, spiritual quality, and some of her paintings are downright devotional. But they invite a viewer to come closer and touch. The side panels of the triptychs are painted on both front and back and can be swung open, shut entirely or left angled. Viewers are thus able to arrange the scenes in a variety of combinations and to alter their perspectives; what appears to be a three-part painting is actually multidimensional. And it’s not mere gimmickry: The funky form cleverly complements the cinematic content. Most of the pieces in “Pilgrimage” are big and bold. The show’s centerpiece is

“Ark of Hope,” a 500-pound chest with painted sides depicting seasonal scenes. This work, too, may be opened and closed, and inside it resides a papyrus copy of “The Earth Charter,” a declaration of environmental and social justice principles, along with 600 handmade books on similar themes crafted by adults and children from many countries. As a spontaneous response to the events of September 11, 2001, Linder and various helpers rolled and carried the ark from Shelburne to Manhattan over the course of two months. That journey, culminating in an exhibit at United Nations headquarters, generated media

interest in Linder and her collaborators on the ark, cabinetmaker Kevin Jenness and fiber artist Beth Haggart. But Linder’s grandest example of artas-spectacle is probably her 1998 ritual burial in Borneo, Cameroon and Madagascar of 14 paintings from her “Remembering the Primates” series. These portraits of gorillas, lemurs, gibbons and orangutans native to those lands were painted following a 1995 Christmas Eve fire at the Philadelphia Zoo that killed 23 endangered primates. A few pieces from this series, each bordered with tribal patterns, are included in the Firehouse retrospective. The rear room of the gallery contains several abstract paintings, all of which have been given representational titles, such as “Crazy Clowns” and “Two Boys Walking Through Starry Night.” The

names and the continuity of colors from the South African township series help blur the boundaries between realism and abstraction — which Linder seems to regard as arbitrary and artificial ones, anyway. She has said that the painter’s choice of portraying objectively or subjectively is determined by the subject’s desire to be recognized or left to the imagination. The room looking out on City Hall Park is dominated by a 10-by-5-foot piece entitled “Homage to Shostakovich Opus 110.” It looks like a Pollock painting of a sun storm. The surging, ebullient music that inspired Linder’s own explosive opus can be heard on headphones provided by the gallery. While such bombast has plenty of aesthetic appeal, the show’s most powerful pieces are three small ink-onpaper drawings hanging inconspicuously in a corner of the room that fronts on Church Street. They demonstrate Linder’s fine draftsmanship more dramatically and evocatively than anything else in the show. Each sheet offers a view of the skeleton of a great horned owl that fell dead from a spruce tree onto a Burlington sidewalk.

Linder says in the catalog accompanying “Pilgrimage” that she carried the owl home and watched its body decompose and return to the earth in an “exquisite” 18-month-long process. She then arranged the skeleton in poses that “articulated his powerful delicacy and clown-like antics.” The subsequent drawings, with their hatched shadings, movingly illustrate Linder’s discovery of “the striking resemblance between owl and man, as if they had sprung from the same thought.” In addition to Pollock, other influences can be discerned in Linder’s work. A few paintings featuring pelvic bones and cow skulls actually look too much like Georgia O’Keeffe’s signature images. Much more subtle — and perceptively noted by Vermont painter Cameron Davis in the handsome “Pilgrimage” catalog produced by Kasini House — is Linder’s kinship with pioneering abstractionist Wassily Kandinsky (18661944). The connection is evident not so much in the two artists’ styles as in their spiritualism. Even at her most representational, Linder is clearly concerned as much with the metaphysical realm as with the physical world. B Y K EV I N J .

JETTISONED Sigismondi’s account of rock’s first all-girl band would have benefited from focusing on its most talented member.

The Runaways ★★★

here’s something ultimately unsatisfying about photographer/music video director Floria Sigismondi’s feature debut. The problem isn’t that it hits so many traditional rock biopic notes. The problem is that it purports to tell the story of a manufactured ’70s allgirl band and, when it’s over, the character you remember most vividly is the guy who did the manufacturing. As flamboyant producer-puppetmaster Kim Fowley, Michael Shannon dominates the movie as thoroughly as Fowley dominated the five underage California girls he recruited to form the Runaways. Shannon’s a powerful actor, but the reason he walks away with the film is Sigismondi’s weak script. She borrows the broad strokes of the group’s rise and fall from Neon Angel, the 1989 memoir by lead singer Cherie Currie, but she lacks the narrative chops to turn that outline into a story that goes more than skin deep. Sigismondi’s first mistake, in fact, is focusing on Currie, a vacuous blond Bowie wannabe, instead of on the Runaways’ most

talented and enduring alumna, Joan Jett. The movie’s early scenes depict the fortuitous confrontation between the leatherjacketed young rocker — channeled to perfection by Kristen Stewart — and the twitchy Sunset Strip Svengali. Jett practically puts dollar signs in Fowley’s eyes when she tells him about her plan to form a band made up exclusively of teenage girls, and the two scour the L.A. club scene in search of the perfect front person. Dakota Fanning plays Currie, a lost soul with family problems (mom’s a bitch, dad’s a drunk) who’s selected strictly on the basis of her looks and jailbait status. “I like your style,” the impresario announces after spotting the 15-year-old in a crowded joint one night. “Want to be in a band?” By this time, the rest of the group has miraculously assembled and become a tight, hard-rocking machine rehearsing in a squalid Valley trailer that serves as boot camp for the demented drill sergeant. Currie can’t sing a note. Within weeks, she’s transformed by Fowley into a snarling tigress in platform shoes.

That is to say, the real Cherie Currie was. Fanning never quite convinces in the role. Not as a tough-as-nails trailblazer. Not as a conflicted victim of fame once the Runaways attain it. Least of all as a casualty of the road who one day decides to just say no to stardom and walks away from everything she always wanted without a word of explanation. Stewart has the opposite problem here. She’s completely believable as Jett, but, until its final scene, Sigismondi’s script keeps her on a leash, relegating her to second string and denying her an opportunity

Carell’s character recalls the sweet dweeb he debuted in The 40-Year-Old Virgin, with none of Michael Scott’s underlying creepiness. As for the plot of Date Night, it’s what they call an evergreen. Remove the references to flash drives and Fergie, and director Shawn Levy’s tale of overworked parents who need a little spice in their marriage would work as a vehicle for Chevy Chase and Goldie Hawn in 1978. (It even has a gratuitous, noisy car chase that could have been lifted straight from a film of that era.) Naturally, when Phil and Claire seek out excitement — by fibbing their way into a table at a Manhattan hot spot called Claw — they get more than they bargained for. The no-show couple whose reservation they pinched turns out to be on the hit list of a mafioso (Ray Liotta), and soon his lackeys are gunning for the suburban pair. Many absurd, hackneyed twists and a handful of decent gags ensue. The film’s laughs come less often from its script (by Josh Klausner, a veteran of the two last Shrek movies) than from its actors — and not just the two stars. A gaggle of good performers show up in supporting roles, including Mark Wahlberg as an eerily unflappable, always shirtless Jason Bourne type (who inspires much drooling

MOVIE REVIEWS

Date Night ★★★ he problem with too many comedies about relationships is that only half the couple is funny. There’s a familiar Hollywood pattern of pairing a standup comic with a “hot” actress who spends the film laughing at him or rolling her eyes. We occasionally see this reversed in female-oriented rom coms such as the Sex and the City movie, where women do the quipping and men stand around waiting to offer a dozen roses or pay for a walk-in closet. Yet other scripts are misguided attempts to present both lovers as hilarious screwballs (The Ugly Truth, My Best Friend’s Girl) that somehow merely make them come off as hateful caricatures who deserve each other. But rarely does a film showcase a likeable couple that’s evenly matched and compatible in the wit department. The best thing about Date Night, and one of the few reasons to see it, is that it does just that. Tina Fey and Steve Carell have similar comic styles — both lurching between moments of mania and paralyzing self-consciousness — and, not surprisingly, they match up fine. Playing Phil and Claire Foster, middle-class, middle-aged spouses with two small kids, neither offers any surprises here. Fey is basically doing Liz Lemon as a New Jersey realtor, while

to reveal the thunder god it’s fully apparent she’s born to be. Only in the movie’s last moments, which hint at her second coming as the stadium-filling leader of the Blackhearts (with “I Love Rock ’n’ Roll” blasting in the background) does she get her close-up. It’s a thrilling couple of minutes against which everything that precedes it unfortunately pales. As an overgrown music video, The Runaways suffices nicely. The songs are hardly timeless, but they’re fun and sound great — having been rerecorded for the film by Jett, who executive produced. As a movie, on the other hand, it’s a bit of a tease. These five girls rewrote the rules of rock. They boldly went where no young women had gone before. It would have been nice to learn more about them as human beings, to discover what made them capable of accomplishing that. Of even wanting that. Sigismondi’s film never gets around to asking such questions, much less answering them.

RILE TONE Fey and Carell relearn how to use a payphone in Levy’s couples-oriented comedy of errors.

in Claire); Mila Kunis and James Franco as the feckless young pair for whom our heroes have been mistaken; and William Fichtner as a way-too-smooth, crusading district attorney. These cameos keep Date Night feeling like a ragtag, amiable gathering of funny people who enjoy each other’s company, rather than the cynical piece of action-comedy crap it actually is. And, at moments, when the silliness about car chases and strip clubs recedes, it actually becomes a movie about something real. In one scene, Fey’s character confesses that she fantasizes about being alone — about

having “a day that doesn’t depend on how somebody else’s day went.” In this midlife-crisis-comedy genre, usually dominated by glum, domesticated males in need of wild party action (see Hot Tub Time Machine), it’s nice to get another perspective. More importantly, though, when the Fosters dine out and amuse themselves by inventing personalities for the couples at surrounding tables, their improvised-sounding banter really clicks. A comic couple with a noncontrived reason to stay married: what a concept. MARGOT HARRISON
