So much for the “bridal” issue. Gender-specific terminology no longer applies to Vermont marriages — the first state to extend rights to same-sex couples without judicial prompting. Wedding industry professionals hope that translates into more Vermont ceremonies. Wedding photographer Karen Pike looks forward to … her own. Legal scholar Cheryl Hanna predicts when the feds might join the party. And, as our lead story reveals, some gay couples are still getting used to the idea that they, too, can say “I do.” Congrats.

< letters> MORAN MITIGATION Thanks to Kevin J. Kelley for his story on arsenic in the soil at the Moran Plant — overall a good analysis of the extent and source of contamination there [“Arsenic and an Old Place: Burlington’s Moran Plant Turns Up Toxic,” April 8]. However, my quote regarding arsenic and Community Sailing Center (CSC) activities would seem out of context — the area now fenced off is not and has never been part of the program area utilized by this important nonprofit. The CSC, which has operated out of the Moran site for over a decade, is committed to the safety of their program participants, and to the ecological health of Lake Champlain. This is evidenced by their dynamic educational programs and by the Center’s strong partnership in redeveloping Moran, which includes the cleanup of the site and building. The Environmental Protection Agency, Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation, and Chittenden County

CORRECTION: Last week’s cover story, “On Course,” noted that this fall at UVM, “17 percent of undergraduate classes will be in the 150- to 300-seat range.” It should have read, “17 percent of the available undergraduate seats will be in classes in the 150to 300-student range.”

Regional Planning Commission have committed over $270,000 to date towards environmental assessment and cleanup of the site. Most recently, Governor Douglas announced a $100,000 grant to clean Moran’s interior. Check online at cedoburlington.org for updates, and PDFs of environmental reports, and mitigation plans for the building and site. Nick Warner BURLINGTON

PONZI PRESCRIPTION Thank you, Seven Days and Dr. Emmons, for an incisive look at insurance and profiteering [Op Ed: “Doctor’s Orders,” April 8]. Another good commentary on this issue was recently posted in Medscape: “The Ponzi Scheme That Is Health Insurance.” Katharine Hikel, MD HINESBURG

THE INSURER RESPONDS In a recent opinion column [“Doctor’s Orders,” April 8], Robert Emmons, MD, made several inaccurate assertions about programs at Blue Cross Blue Shield of Vermont that encourage the use of generic drugs for conditions for which they are available.

A REAL CHEF, ER, COOK I just wanted to comment and express my happiness to see Chef Sue get some due recognition [“Epicure for a Day,” April 1]. Although I have never officially worked for her, I have worked next to her. Sue is one of the hardest-working chefs I have worked with. She does it all in that kitchen, from soup to nuts, and nothing falls short. That is the true definition of a first-class, professional cook. (Yes, she is a chef, but I have heard her comment on the importance of being a great, all-around cook, and the unfortunate, diluted triviality that the title “Chef ” has become in our country. This is a philosophy that I adopted long ago myself, and working with Sue was a refreshing departure from the often too frequent norm in the industry these days: lazy, unskilled, unread, unrefined “kitchen managers” that

Pillow fight organizer Darin Cassler is officially off the hook. Last Friday’s Church Street pillow fight drew about 50 people, but afterward, Cassler, the 21-year-old organizer, was arrested for his efforts. Now it looks like the Burlington Police Department has decided not to press disorderly conduct charges against him, according to a department press release sent Tuesday. Department chief Michael Schirling confirms in a phone interview that BPD will not request a search warrant for Cassler’s cellphone, which an officer confiscated after Friday’s fluff fest. When I spoke with Cassler this afternoon (after his phone was returned), he told me not having a cellphone all weekend was a pain. Fortunately, the social-networking site Facebook is his “communicative snorkel to the universe,” so he was able to keep friends apprised of his legal hassles. What happened to his pillow? Cassler said a friend picked up his “A” pillow at Friday’s protest and is holding it for safekeeping. He reports that a temporary substitute — a white number with a green border, stuffed with “Egyptian” cotton — is working out well enough. Cassler said he has received several calls from area residents who are disappointed by the BPD’s handling of Friday’s pillow fight. Some of them, he notes, have discussed showing up to a City Council meeting at Contois Auditorium and “filling up the room with pillows.” It remains to be seen whether the action would prompt the municipal officials to nod off.

Right on the heels of our story last week about massive problems with telecommunications company FairPoint, we received a related email from Shaline Kirkpatrick, owner of Shaline Bridal in Montpelier. In January, Kirkpatrick canceled her Internet service, but FairPoint canceled her phone service instead. Oops. When she called to inquire as to why she was still receiving Internet bills, she learned what had happened. As she tried to fix this problem over the next few weeks, they informed her that she might lose her business number of the past eight years, and her phone service was actually cut off last Tuesday morning — during the height of prom and bridal season. Kirkpatrick claims that the FairPoint rep she managed to contact would not let her speak directly to a supervisor and requested that she leave a call-back number, which she refused because they had not returned her phone calls in months. The operator then hung up on her. At this point, Ms. Kirkpatrick called the Public Service Board, and the woman she spoke to there assured her that she would call FairPoint. Her partner also made some calls. Thankfully, this morning her phone service was back on. Now she has to deal with the paperwork and repercussions of this incident — including getting the word out to anyone who called on Tuesday that she is, in fact, still in business.

he debate over same-sex marriage may have been emotional, but it’s got nothing on the ongoing disc-golf fracas in Burlington. Yes, you read it right — disc golf. Not gay disc golf, but disc golf, which entails tossing specially designed Frisbees into a chain basket. The issue surfaced during the Burlington mayoral campaign — specifically, in the Seven Days-sponsored candidate debate — but is an issue that had been simmering for months. Only Independent Dan Smith supported the concept, which may have cost him votes

commission to investigate whether disc golf would be feasible at Leddy Park, or anywhere in Burlington. At the meeting, the working group was deadlocked — 3 to 3 — on whether disc golf at Leddy Park would work. A seventh member, who supports disc golf, was out of town. Opponents believe the city needs to do more homework before moving ahead with disc golf anywhere in the city. Mark Barlow, who grew up next to Leddy Park and still lives nearby, offered, “If it’s an activity we want to support as a city, then we need to find a location for it that doesn’t displace ongoing recreation.” Barlow and others claim the city has been rushing the process, raising suspicions that the course’s installation is a fait accompli. B’Town Disc Golf member Adam Quinn says the process has taken almost a year, and there’s been plenty of time for public input. Despite the opposition, he’s hopeful the group can allay concerns and have a course ready for this summer. “Leddy Park is a great multi-use park with a lot of great recreational activities, with plenty of room for additional activity like disc golf,” said Quinn. Cities around the country have disc-golf courses

Something about the sound of chainsaws awakened neighbors to the fact that their precious park was about to be turned into a hedonistic outpost for throngs of disc-throwing enthusiasts. in the New North End. Literally. The disc-golf debate began last year when the B’Town Disc Golf Club approached the Parks & Recreation Department about finding an appropriate home for a public disc-golf course. The nearest course to Burlington is in Waterbury. After several public meetings, the commission approved the concept. That turned into some underbrush clearing at Leddy Park to make way for some demonstration holes. Something about the sound of chainsaws awakened neighbors to the fact that their precious park was about to be turned into a hedonistic outpost for throngs of disc-throwing enthusiasts. Once-quiet nature paths would be imperiled by “flying dinner plates.” In response to the public outcry, Parks & Rec Director Wayne Gross called a halt to the brush clearing. More recently, he told “Fair Game” that he failed to predict the concerns people would have about the plans for Leddy Park. “I take full responsibility for it, but I can say I think the opposition to this snuck up on people,” said Gross. About 50 opponents packed a late March hearing — the final meeting of a working group created by the parks

in similar types of parks. The next battle is Tuesday at the Gosse Court Armory. That’s when the disc-golf working group presents its findings to the Burlington Parks & Recreation Commission. A public hearing will follow. The full commission could rule on the proposal sometime in May. Parks Commissioner Carolyn Hanson said the tenor of the opposition reminds her of initial public reaction to the concept of dog parks. “At the time it was a huge controversy, and people made all sorts of false claims about the potential impact,” said Hanson, who remains neutral on disc golf. “And now, I think you can say it’s been one of the more successful things the parks department has done.” Just beware, Burlington. Disc golf is said to encourage same-sex pairings, and even, gulp, multiple partners. What’s next? Man-dog teams? Cousins paired with cousins? Grandmothers and grandsons playing together?

[GOP name here] v. Leahy ’10 — Earlier this month, a few Vermont listeners heard a U.S. Senate campaign ad for Republican Rich Tarrant on Q106-FM out of Claremont, N.H. Whoa. Is Tarrant thinking of taking Leahy on in 2010? The blog “Monday Morning Clacker” first reported rumors of a Tarrant v. Leahy match-up. In his last race for a U.S. Senate seat, Tarrant, who cofounded IDX, lost by 33 points to Bernie Sanders (I-VT) despite spending $7.5 million of his personal fortune on the campaign. Has he got more free time and cash on hand? In a word: no. “I’m not going down that route again,” Tarrant said from his Florida home, dispelling any rumor he might take on Leahy. The bad news is that the Tarrant ads aired as a result of a coding error, said Doug Welldon, the director of programming at Q106-FM, which is owned by Nassau Broadcasters. The good news is, Welldon received plenty of calls from listeners who heard them. Take that, Arbitron. No word on who will challenge Leahy in 2010 despite his rank as the “most partisan” Democrat in the U.S. Senate. As one GOP insider told “Fair Game”: There is “not much appetite on our team for taking on Leahy, who continues to be the most popular politician in the state.”

Nuclear Man Date? — Last week, a member of the antinuclear group New England Coalition tossed compost on the papers of federal regulators at a U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission hearing in Brattleboro. The point? To express citizen outrage at the crappy job the feds have done at Vermont Yankee. On Monday, the NEC took a more traditional approach in its effort to close down VY, asking Vermont Attorney General Bill Sorrell to investigate Department of Public Service Commissioner David O’Brien’s “off-duty” friendship with Vermont Yankee’s former vice president and top lobbyist Jay Thayer, and determine if it violates state ethics rules. The NEC’s 14-page letter includes references to O’Brien’s holiday party attended by Thayer, news first reported in “Fair Game” on January 21. The Stowe Reporter ran a story a week later. NEC claims O’Brien’s actions violate the state’s executive code of ethics because it creates “the appearance of a conflict of interest.” The code defines that term as the “impression that a reasonable person might have, after full disclosure of the facts, that an Appointee’s judgment might be significantly influenced by outside interests, even though there is no actual conflict of interest.” In his defense, O’Brien told “Fair Game” back in January, “When it comes to utilities, I pound on them 364 days a year, and for one day a year we celebrate Christmas and the holidays, and the best part of it is, we don’t talk about business.” Besides, Thayer had just moved to Stowe, and he and his wife wanted some tips on what to do with themselves. In Stowe. In the winter. Hmm. Just after the party, O’Brien’s department released a consultant’s report claiming VY was good to go for another 20 years. Thayer’s personal campaign contributions to the reelection bid of Gov. Jim Douglas is a further cause for alarm, the NEC claims. A “Fair Game” search of the Secretary of State’s website identified $2000 in donations from Thayer and his wife to the governor’s 2008 campaign. They gave $400 in 2004. Entergy was also the lead sponsor to the governor’s inaugural ball this year, kicking in $5000 to be the plutonium, er platinum, sponsor. Donations were diverted, after expenses, to the Vermont Foodbank. Like O’Brien, Entergy was just being neighborly. Troubled Waters — Burlington’s embattled waterfront manager Adam Cate is in the unemployment line — again. Parks & Recreation Director Gross told “Fair Game” that Cate was fired on Friday. He

declined to say what prompted Cate’s removal, citing personnel policy. Gross fired Cate last June after he was caught reading employee emails and lying about it to city investigators. Police also investigated Cate after he told an employee to hide money from a city-owned safe. Cate appealed Gross’ decision to the Parks & Recreation Commission, which conducted its own probe and reinstated Cate on November 20. The brouhaha became campaign fodder for opponents of Progressive Mayor Bob Kiss in Burlington’s recent mayoral race. City Attorney Ken Schatz said Cate cannot appeal Gross’ decision this time, because Cate was on probation. Wonder if the Parks & Rec commissioners will stand by their man — again? Who Got Teabagged? — File this one in the category of “What Were They Thinking?” Last Wednesday, April 15, brought more than 300 people to a “tea party” on the Statehouse steps to protest higher taxes. A smaller group of about 30 asked the state to tax them more. Go figure. Meanwhile, the House was debating a miscellaneous tax bill that included $24 million in new taxes — much of it income, and progressively benchmarked, but still … on Tax Day? Damn, that takes some cojones. House Speaker Shap Smith told “Fair Game” that he had no qualms about bringing up the tax bill on Tax Day. “We shouldn’t be hiding from the conversation on any day, and while some may think it’s bad PR to do it on Tax Day, I say there’s no better day to talk about it and talk about it in the open,” said Smith. Montpelier rally organizer Jessica Bernier was disappointed that lawmakers didn’t seem to get the message. “It just means we have a lot more work to do to educate people and get them involved,” said the mom of three. On the other side, first-year Rep. Kesha Ram (D-Burlington) sent this victorious Tweet after the House passed the tax bill and a message for the anti-tax “tea totalers”: “Voted to raise $24 million in revenue to close the budget gap and protect vital state services: 82-54. Steep that!” We’ll know more about the health of the Vermont economy when state economists release their budget forecasts on Friday. The news might call for something stronger than tea. m

a new round of support for U.S. Sen. Patrick Leahy’s so-called “truth commission.” Earlier this year Leahy, who chairs the Senate Judiciary Committee, suggested Congress establish a “Commission of Inquiry” to bring members of the Bush administration to justice. The Washington Post has now endorsed the concept, as did a Los Angeles Times columnist. The Wall Street Journal, meanwhile, slammed Leahy’s plan in an editorial and scared up former Bush officials Attorney General Michael Mukasey and CIA Director Michael Hayden to argue against it. No bias there, eh? Two weeks ago, stories began circulating online that Leahy told a group of Vermonters his idea was dead in the water without GOP support. Last week, Leahy dispelled the notion he was giving up. “I think we should proceed sooner rather than later. I am continuing to reach out and to work on the proposal,” said Leahy, adding the GOP has falsely labeled his approach as partisan. “But a conversation is not something I can undertake unilaterally.” It won’t help Leahy’s case that a Tuesday report in The Hill named jo, the “most partisan” of all 99 sitting senators. Who made the determination? His colleagues. Ouch.

ven as Vermont continues to lose jobs — another 2100 disappeared in March — the federal government has quietly been adding scores of positions to its Homeland Security outposts in Chittenden County. About 420 U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) employees, mostly based in Williston, are hunting fugitives, helping lawenforcement officers investigate foreign-born suspects, and performing a variety of financial duties for the Department of Homeland Security. When fully staffed, these three units will include more than 600 workers, making ICE one of the biggest employers in the Burlington area. Tom Torti, head of the Lake Champlain Regional Chamber of Commerce, calls the local ICE expansion “fantastic.” These federal jobs “pay well, provide good benefits and tend to be fairly recessionproof,” Torti says. “This sector — immigration, customs, the global war on terror, all the issues we see around homeland security — is likely to continue growing.” And that’s especially important, Torti adds, for “a state that’s not growing private-sector jobs.” Williston Town Planner Ken Belliveau also welcomes the ICE buildup as “a really great boost for the local economy.” Annual salaries for these federal posts range from about $29,000 to $105,000. But not every Vermonter views ICE’s growing presence in the state as a positive development. Joseph Gainza, Vermont program coordinator for the American Friends Service Committee, says the increased deployment carries the threat of heightened surveillance and a “punitive response to problems that could be dealt with in other ways.” Locally, the fugitive-tracking operations could pose a particular threat to illegal migrant farm workers who have become essential to Vermont’s dairy industry, Gainza warns. Many of the ICE jobs have come to Vermont as a result of the influence wielded in Washington, D.C., by Sen. Patrick Leahy, who ranks fourth in seniority among the 100 U.S. senators. First elected to the Senate 35 years ago, Leahy chairs the Judiciary Committee, which has

some authority over immigration policy and facilities, and he serves as a leading member of the appropriations subcommittee on Homeland Security. The senator arranged funding in 1994 for a pilot project that eventually became the Law Enforcement Support Center, now the largest ICE operation in Vermont, with 412 authorized employees. “On the Judiciary and Appropriations committees he has watched over its steady expansion,” says Leahy spokesman

these positions could be more advantageously applied to Vermont’s social needs, Gainza argues. Some of the 60 current employees and contractors with ICE’s Fugitive Operations Support Center have special-agent qualifications similar to their counterparts in the FBI and Drug Enforcement Administration, says ICE spokesman Michael Gilhooly. Other members of the fugitive operations unit in Williston “use computer technology to help field officers target people who have

When fully staffed, three Homeland Security units will include more than 600 workers, making ICE one of the biggest employers in the Burlington area. David Carle. And legislation that Leahy recently wrote conferred permanent status on 200 formerly temporary employees of the Williston-based center, Carle adds. In an emailed statement, Leahy himself points out that ICE’s Law Enforcement Support Center “was born in Vermont, and Vermonters continue to prove its value every day, around the clock and across the country.” Leahy adds that he recently commended Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano “for capitalizing on [the center’s] strengths.” The Law Enforcement Support Center provides rapid-response information to officers around the country who are investigating or who have arrested foreign nationals. The center also maintains a 24-hour tip line for the public to report activity on a broad range of ICE investigative interests, including immigration violations, child porno-graphy, sex tourism, smuggling and human trafficking. “Senator Leahy has put a lot of effort into bringing these and other federal jobs to Vermont,” Gainza comments. But seeing the ICE expansion as simply an economic boost to the state reflects “the same mindset that gets us into a $600 billion military budget,” the Quaker activist says. Money spent to create

been ordered removed but have refused to leave the country,” Gilhooly explains. ICE’s website describes the operations center as “a key element in the strategy to address the burgeoning fugitive alien problem in the United States.” Vermont may not be the first place that comes to mind as the location for a national fugitivetracking operation, but Gilhooly says there’s nothing unusual or inconvenient about situating it here. “In today’s world, national offices can work almost anywhere,” he observes. Another 129 ICE workers are assigned to what’s called the Burlington Finance Center, which operates out of rented offices in Maple Tree Place. This office handles a range of bookkeeping functions for ICE and other units of the Department of Homeland Security. One of its tasks, Gilhooly says, is to collect “breached bonds” — that is, money posted but forfeited by individuals who have violated the terms set for their cases by immigration authorities. The Burlington Finance Center also arranges for the return of money to individuals who have been deported from the United States or granted some type of status by an immigration judge, Gilhooly adds. m

Will Vermont’s Same-Sex Marriage Law Precipitate a Wedding Windfall?

overnor Jim Douglas was ice cold to the idea of allowing gays and lesbians to marry, but he may extend them a warmer reception once the new law kicks in on September 1. That’s because a new report, published by UCLA’s Williams Institute, predicts that by extending marriage rights to same-sex couples, Vermont’s economy will enjoy a $30.6 million economic infusion over the next three years. An estimated 700 jobs would be created, generating $3.3 million in state and local tax revenues. Additionally, weddings by in-state and out-of-state gay couples are expected to contribute an-

other $414,400 in marriage-license fees alone. The report, published prior to the legislature’s override of the governor’s veto on April 7, is based on the conservative estimate that about 1000 gay and lesbian in-state couples will get married over the next three years, while another 8200 same-sex couples from other states will travel to Vermont to get hitched. Many of those pairs, the report notes, are expected to come from New York, which doesn’t allow same-sex couples to marry but recognizes gay marriages — but not civil unions — from other states. Could that explain the recent

bill proposed by Gov. David Paterson to make same-sex marriage legal across the lake? Thus far, Vermont hasn’t launched any coordinated marketing effort to court all that gay green, admits Bruce Hyde, commissioner of the Vermont Department of Tourism and Marketing, “but we’re certainly open to sitting down with people.” According to Hyde, his agency typically promotes much more “generic Vermont” — that is, Vermont’s outdoor recreation, culture, history and culinary products. Occasionally, the tourism department partners with niche-industry groups, such as

ost everyone agrees the U.S. health-care delivery system is ailing. An estimated 50 million Americans don’t have any coverage, and millions more are underinsured. In Vermont, roughly 136,000 people went without health care last year. About 85 percent of those people have jobs. Two starkly different visions of reform will be presented in a debate this week at the University of Vermont. Robert Kuttner, co-founder and co-editor of left-leaning mag The American Prospect and founder of the Economic Polity Institute, a nonpartisan think tank, will argue in favor of a single-payer system. Arnold Kling, a former senior economist at Freddie Mac and adjunct scholar with the Libertarianleaning Cato Institute, says individual consumers should be in charge of their health-care destiny. While the final outcome of their approaches differ, Kuttner and

Vermont’s ski areas and outlet malls. But, as Hyde emphasizes, “We will absolutely consider any entity that comes to us with a plan to do out-ofstate marketing.” The state’s most logical partner in such an endeavor is the Vermont Association of Wedding Professionals, which formed only four years ago. According to the group’s president, Tim Piper, Vermont’s $252 million wedding industry — one of the state’s most powerful economic engines — is gearing up for a busy autumn but hasn’t launched an organized marketing campaign yet. That said, the group is in the process of updating its website to reflect the new law and researching its options for out-of-state marketing possibilities. Vermont’s wedding industry experienced a big windfall in the first few years after the civil-union law took effect in 2000, Piper notes. However, those numbers fell off between 2003 and 2005, when Massachusetts and

Kling agree that President Barack Obama and Congress should improve the health of the economy before mending the broken U.S. health-care system. They also agree on two other key issues: The current system is unsustainable and leads to costly procedures foisted upon the public as necessary. On cost, the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services estimates we shell out $2.1 trillion annually on health care — or about $7000 for every man, woman and child in the country. Kuttner argues marketing, profits and billing account for up to $500 billion of that spending, divvied up chiefly amongst insurance providers, hospitals and pharmaceutical companies. “We have a system that is badly fragmented and pays too much money on middle men,” says Kuttner in his case for a single-payer

Connecticut extended full marriage rights to same-sex couples. But Piper predicts Vermont’s numbers will rise again, as many couples — gay and straight — see Vermont’s potential as a celebration site. In fact, Vermont

system such as those that operate in much of Europe and Canada. Kling counters that single-payer is no panacea. “Medicare is the fiscal equivalent of the Titanic and the coming deficit is the iceberg we all know is there,” said Kling. “’Medicare for All’ is like saying, ‘Let’s put more passengers on the Titanic.’” Rationing, HMOs, deductibles, golden parachutes — St. Albans Messenger Publisher Emerson Lynn will moderate the debate between the two heavy-hitting health-care experts. It can’t hurt to hear them out. m “Reforming Health Care: A Single-Payer or Consumer-Driven Solution,” debate between Robert Kuttner and Arnold Kling, moderated by Emerson Lynn, publisher of the St. Albans Messenger, sponsored by the Janus Forum.

FROST/NIXONHHHHH: Frank Langella and Michael Sheen reprise their stage roles in Ron Howard’s adaptation of Peter Morgan’s award-winning play about events surrounding the historic series of television interviews David Frost conducted with Richard Nixon in 1977. Rebecca Hall, Toby Jones, Oliver Platt and Sam Rockwell costar. (122 min, R) NOTORIOUSHH1/2 George (Soul Food) Tillman Jr. brings us this biopic chronicling the life and death of the East Coast rapper Notorious B.I.G. Jamal Woolard, Derek Luke and Angela Bassett star. (122 min, R) THE WRESTLERHHH1/2 Mickey Rourke makes a stunning comeback in this gritty saga chronicling the struggles of a past-his-prime pro wrestler. Marisa Tomei and Evan Rachel Wood costar. Darren Aronofsky directs. (109 min, R)

LAST A LIFETIME!

WED & THU

FAST & FURIOUSHH1/2 Vin Diesel, evidently running low on career options, rejoins the franchise he snubbed after it made him a household name. In the latest installment, his character’s forced to work with Paul Walker’s to defeat a common enemy, employing a combination of cunning and nonstop car chases. Michelle Rodriguez costars. Justin Lin directs. (99 min, PG-13. Bijou, Essex, Majestic, Marquis, Palace, Paramount, Roxy, Stowe, Sunset, Welden) THE GREAT BUCK HOWARDHHHH1/2 From writer-director Sean McGinly comes this quirky yet surprisingly touching portrait of an old-school mentalist oblivious to the fact that he’s a relic of a bygone show-biz era. Starring John Malkovich, Colin Hanks, Emily Blunt, Ricky Jay and Tom Hanks. (87 min, PG. Roxy) HANNAH MONTANA: THE MOVIEHH Miley Cyrus plays a teen whose dad takes her back home to Tennessee when she starts to feel the strain of leading a double life as the girl next door and a mega pop star, in this Disney film with no basis in reality whatsoever. With Emily Osment and Billy Ray Cyrus. Peter Chelsom directs. (92 min, G. Capitol, Essex, Majestic, Marquis, Palace) THE HAUNTING IN CONNECTICUTH1/2 Virginia Madsen and Kyle Gallner are paired in this purportedly fact-based horror-fest about a family experiencing that other kind of housing crisis — the kind where you move into a charming old Victorian and find it’s occupied by evil spirits. Martin Donovan costars. Peter Cornwall directs. (92 min, PG-13. Sunset) I LOVE YOU, MANHHH1/2 John (Along Came Polly) Hamburg is the latest director to attempt to steal a piece of Judd Apatow’s bromance thunder with this laugher about a dude who realizes after proposing to his girlfriend that he needs to make a best friend if he wants a best man. Paul Rudd, Jason Segel and Rashida Jones star. (97 min, R. Bijou, Capitol, Majestic, Roxy, Sunset) THE LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFTH1/2 Are you getting the impression that a remake of a vintage horror film will be released every week this year? Dennis Iliadis brings us this recycling of the 1972 Wes Craven gore-athon in which psychos torture and molest two young women and then coincidentally hide out at the home of one victim’s parents. Starring Tony Goldwyn, Monica Potter and Sara Paxton. (85 min, R. Sunset) MONSTERS VS. ALIENSHHH Seth Rogen, Hugh Laurie and Reese Witherspoon are among the voice cast in this bit of animated sci-fi family fun about a group of monsters thoughtful enough to band together and save humanity from an alien attack. Will Arnett’s in there, too. Conrad Vernon and Rob Letterman direct. In 3-D at Essex and Majestic. (94 min, PG. Big Picture, Bijou, Essex, Majestic, Marquis, Palace, Paramount, Sunset)

Grilling the Chef Don’t you want to know who’s making your food?

ven when she was working in other people’s kitchens, Burlington-born Monica Lamay had plans to run her own restaurant one day. During a chef stint at The Blue Seal in Richmond — a hip, Southwestern-inspired eatery located in an old animal-feed store — she realized she’d found the perfect spot. She shared her idea with the owner, Deb Weinstein. About five years later, in 2006, Weinstein “was ready to sell and gave me a call,” Lamay recalls.

frozen food and overcooked veggies. After graduating from high school, she took a job in a deli to make ends meet. “The owner turned it into a restaurant,” she says. “I worked for him for five years, cooked for another two years around Burlington, and decided to go to NECI.” With a culinary degree and whisk in hand, Lamay moved to Boston and then to California. She was particularly inspired by the head chef at Boulevard Restaurant in San Francisco: “She’d spend $2000 on mushrooms in a week,” Lamay marvels. “I loved her sauces, her salads, everything

Through a window into the kitchen, patrons can spy her — often decked out in a baseball cap — as she puts the finishing touches on their plates. Lamay didn’t grow up in a foodie environment.

What did your family eat when you were growing up? Um, frozen pizzas, TV dinners. I grew up in the early ’70s and my parents worked nights. One night a week mom would cook a nice homemade mac ’n’ cheese. For the most part, at night we fended for ourselves. Everything I ate was well done — the vegetables, the meat. My friends actually laughed at me when I told them I was going to culinary school. They said, “What are you going to do? Fry up some eggs and make chocolate milk?” Back then, were there any foods you just detested? Tomatoes. I don’t like the squishy seeds; green beans because they were so overcooked, and [my parents] never took the string out; liver. I like [liver] now. I love tomatoes, but I mostly take out the seeds, still. Name three foods that make life worth living. Foie gras, butter … Do I have something that’s not fattening? And duck. Those are my decadents, for sure ... I don’t have a sweet tooth. What’s the weirdest dish you’ve tried? Smoked bison tongue. Once you got over the look of it — with the little taste buds sticking out — and sliced it up, it kind of looked like pastrami. That was bizarre. When you have time to cook at home, what do you make? I don’t go very extravagant at home. I usually grill something or make really simple things like tacos. Fish tacos, or pork tacos, those are the two I would do the most. What foods are always in your pantry? Mostly Asian ingredients. I do always have a great balsamic; nice extra-virgin olive oils from California; salt and pepper. I don’t stock my pantry that much. I find myself with one real day off a week, and I go out to eat a lot or do something really simple. What was the most delicious food trip you’ve ever taken? Italy, definitely. My partner Lisa and I went to northern Italy, to a lot of small towns.

people understand what good food really is, and appreciate it and enjoy it,” she remarks. “Hopefully, I’m helping bring that to people who don’t get to travel very much.”

They had real, simple kinds of peasant-type foods. [We] just walked around and talked to the fishermen and asked them where to eat. We ate a lot of octopus, as much fresh fish as we could, wild boar with big, flat noodles. I try to go someplace that has vineyards, because [wine and food are] such a great combination. If you could meet one gastronomic legend, alive or dead, who would it be? I’d have to say Escoffier, definitely. I met Julia Child. When I was living in Boston, I worked with Jim Dodge at the Museum of Fine Arts, and she used to come in all the time. She’s an interesting lady. I met her in her later years, and even hunched over, she towered over me. Any disaster stories? Nope. Nothing that scarred me enough to remember it. Which two cookbooks should every home cook own? Both Splendid Soups and Sauces by James Peterson. He makes it so simple. And Molly Stevens’ book on braising [All About Braising]: That’s just essential to home cooks, and chefs, too. I love that book. If you weren’t a chef, what would your job be? I’ve been trying to figure that out my whole life. Honestly, I can’t imagine doing anything else. Once I started cooking, I never looked back. If there were something, it would have to do with a winery or brewery. [Working at either] is very similar to being a chef in a lot of ways: the earth, the chemistry of it all, getting the best product you can get and making it incredible while at the same time letting it stand on its own. Name a local restaurant that you patronize. Hen of the Wood [in Waterbury] and The Kitchen Table [in Richmond]. I go to other ones, but those would be the first two I’d go to on a day off. I think we have fairly similar ideals. Name a few local products you eat at home. I love Misty Knoll chicken; Awake coffee — I’ve been using it [in the restaurant] for about two-and-a-half years. Cabot Extra Sharp is my favorite cheese. It’s been around forever, but I just think it’s such a great product. I

love all of Vermont Butter & Cheese Company cheeses, and all of Lazy Lady Farms goat cheeses. When you go out to eat, what do you look for in a restaurant? Definitely atmosphere. It’s wrapped up in how you’re greeted when you walk in the door to very attentive, downto-earth service that’s not overly pretentious — genuine service and food. And cleanliness, of course. I don’t necessarily need to see farms listed on the menu; I just need to know they’re giving it their all to use as much Vermont food as they can for the style of food they’re doing. Some restaurant [concepts] lend themselves to using more local products than others. What makes your restaurant unique? Besides the train going by a couple times a night? I would say the fact that I try and use many Vermont ingredients, but I try to bring some different styles to local food. I bring a little Asian flair, a little Southwestern, a little French, a little California. A lot of restaurants in my price range probably stick to a little more straightforward New England or Vermont cuisine. What are your hobbies? I play soccer, indoor and outdoor. I kayak in the summer. When I have time, I snowshoe. Why did you name the restaurant Sonoma Station? Naming a restaurant is kind of like naming a child. We said to all of our friends, “If you can help us come up with a name for the restaurant, we’ll give you dinner for free for a year.” Nobody came up with anything we liked. I think Lisa came up with it, with friends. We have this really weird thing with “Sonoma.” We lived in Sonoma County, and our dog’s name is Sonoma — we didn’t name it after our dog, but our dog did have that name first. When we were cabinet shopping, we looked at these cabinets and said, “We love those,” and when we opened them up, they said Sonoma on them. Sonoma County is where we would live if we weren’t here. It kind of reminds us of Vermont, with the people being so friendly and really wanting to get to know you. We thought we’d honor Sonoma, and with the railroad track going through, we got the “station.” m

Entrées New eateries oN the way

There’s new life at the Lincoln Inn. Caitlin Bilodeau and John Delpha are opening The Belted Cow, a contemporary-American bistro that will replace the coffee shop inside the Essex Junction landmark. The couple is uniquely qualified for the job. Delpha, a Johnson & Wales grad and award-winning cuisinier, did stints at famed Boston restaurants Clio and Mistral. He was executive chef at La Campania in Waltham when Zagat awarded it 28 points out of a possible 30 — “one of six in Boston with such an honor,” Bilodeau notes proudly. Bilodeau is no slouch, either. She’s an Olympic fencer who competed in the Seoul and Barcelona games. After retiring from the sport, she was human resources manager at IKEA Canada. In short, she means business.

The 70-seat eatery will have local ingredients on the menu and a fun, welcoming vibe. “We’re hoping to have a big communal table, and you can come in as a single, couple or group and have open seating there,” Bilodeau explains. The “nice architecture” of the room lends itself to classy fare, and the pair plans to make sure the music is engaging. “We’re both really passionate about what we do and really want to create a great atmosphere,” says Bilodeau. Although they’re not running it, the couple will also prepare pub food for Alexander’s Pub & Grill, located elsewhere in the inn. The bistro’s unusual name refers to a rare Scottish cattle breed. The animals have black bodies and a thick white “belt” around the midsection. Bilodeau and Delpha chose it from hundreds of options brainstormed during their yearlong search for a place to call their own. Bilodeau says, “It was one of the first names we came up with, and it just kind of fit the space.” Beer enthusiasts Scott Kerner, Matt McCarthy and Langdon Street Café cofounder Wes Hamilton were thinking big when they first tossed around the idea of opening a business in Montpelier: “a brewpub,” recalls Kerner, who tended bar for years at the Black Door Bar & Bistro. But, given the tough economy, the trio opted to downsize their plans. On May 1, they’ll unlock the doors to an intimate Main Street bar, the Three Penny Taproom, located where Damsels clothing store used to be. “The idea with the smallness is that we can do it on a slim budget and do it right,” Kerner opines. The space is limited — it can hold 50 patrons with most standing — but the trio’s plans are anything but. Although they won’t be able to brew their own, “amazing craft beers from around the world” will spout from 16 taps. “No swill,” says Kerner. “You can get something you can’t get anywhere else in the state.” He’s particularly excited about a handful of European-style higher-alcohol beers, which became legal in Vermont in 2008. Not into beer? The Taproom will also offer wines by the glass and liquor. “Our ‘well’ liquors will be middle of the road and above,” boasts Kerner. And there will be a finely tuned selection of tapas fare. “We’ve got 100-percent Vermont cheese, and we’re making pickles,” says Kerner. “Pickling and preserving is our way of keeping local product year round.” To get things started, the trio put up 174 hard-boiled eggs. It’s not all local. “We can’t grow olives in Vermont — maybe in 10 years,” Kerner jokes. “We’ll be doing some nice nut mixtures.” Whatever they serve, it will be bona fide finger food: “No menus, no silverware,” he intones. “Three penny is Cockney slang for ‘the bare minimum.’”

Plans in the works include partnering with chefs for monthly beer-pairing dinners and working directly with cheesemakers on a line of beerwashed cheeses. Hot dishes will appear in the fall. Says Kerner, “We dreamed of grandeur and some capital startup, and we ended up just doing it.”

GreeNsboro property has New owNer

Cathy Donnelly, co-director of the Vermont Institute for Artisan Cheese at the University of Vermont, has an abiding love for historic properties. But when she learned that the Lakeview Inn in Greensboro was for sale, it never occurred to her that she’d eventually own it. “I don’t think I was ever serious about buying the place, but I was interested in what would become of it,” she says. But when a foreclosure put the property on the auction block, Donnelly started considering the proposition a bit more seriously. “There’s a lot of exciting food activity going on in the Hardwick area: Vermont Soy, Pete’s Greens, Jasper Hill. The Vermont Food Venture Center is relocating there,” Donnelly explains. “A missing piece that could help drive that even further is the Lakeview Inn. My husband and I decided to acquire it.” Don’t try reserving a room, though. The pair think of themselves as landlords rather than innkeepers. Interns who come to Jasper Hill to learn the art of cheesemaking, for example, used to be hard up for a place to stay. Now they can rent reduced-rate rooms at The Lakeview. “We look at this as a place for short-term residential stays so people can engage in discussions about food,” Donnelly clarifies. The space also will be available for weddings, private parties and conferences. Themed Sunday suppers are in the works, too. Down the road, Donnelly plans to draw on the networks of other Hardwick-area business to attract famous chefs to town. “There are amazing commercial kitchens. We’ll bring in guest chefs and have people stay for the weekend and learn from them,” she speculates. “Jasper Hill has been making connections to the best restaurants in the United States, and the chefs have this incredible desire to learn where food is coming from.”

Long Trail Tale CouNtry store reiNCarNated

When food entrepreneur Dan Giangreco, 24, started considering the defunct Jonesville Country Store for a business opportunity, his plan was to run his frozen flatbread operation — Backcountry Pizza — out of the kitchen. But the owner offered him a challenge he couldn’t pass up: the opportunity to use the whole store. At the end of May, Giangreco will open with an ambitious concept and a new name, Long Trail Community Market. He envisions the market and café as a resource for hunters and hikers — who can set up supply drops there — as well as the local community. The building will also house an artists’ workshop and an inspected custom meatcutting facility: “Hunters will be able to process their deer through the store,” Giangreco explains. He’d like to open the kitchen to residents who want to make and sell products such as jams and jellies. Workshops on topics as diverse as sugaring and gardening are in the offing, too. How did Giangreco come up with the idea? “I was born in Ithaca, so I started out as a Moosewood [Restaurant] baby,” he says. “My background is in fine dining and community development. I look at the facility as a coral reef. You have these varied interests coming together in a hub. Social and economic interests that complement each other and don’t have to be in competition.” True to the communal spirit, some of the equipment is coming from the defunct, much-loved Daily Bread Bakery & Café of Richmond. “That brings with it good karma and energy,” Giangreco suggests. “On the Rise [Bakery] is one incarnation of that legacy. I’d like to think of part of this as a tribute to The Daily Bread and On the Rise, and the social mission that has really come back into the area.” — SUzAnnE PODHAIzER

Hot Buns O

n the Irish sitcom “Father Ted,” the titular priest is shocked one day to discover a bustling Chinatown on his tiny rural home of Craggy Island. Cosmopolitan as Montréal may be, its tiny Chinatown has a similar startling, microcosmic feel. As one passes through the massive red-lacquered, Fu-guarded gates, memories of entering Epcot may be inescapable. The nine square downtown blocks are dingier than Disneyworld — in winter, expect to walk through pools of brown slush, even indoors. Beyond the muck, however, is some of the greatest food the city has to offer. Best of all? Dim sum. Touristy screeds like to report that the characters that spell “dim sum” can be translated as

You like speaking the same language as your server? too bad. ease of communication practically guarantees your dumplings will lack flavor. “to touch the heart,” but they don’t bother to mention that, when spoken, the term just conveys “small, sweet snacks.” That’s right, dim sum is a snack that you eat as a meal. Sort of like dessert, but with shrimp in it. Don’t do the meat thing? You won’t do the eat thing. The majority of dim sum dishes fall into two categories: gow and bao, or dumplings and buns. You’re sure to find the staple siu mai — gingery pork stuffed into a thin, noodle-like dumpling — and, if you’re lucky, Xiaolóngbāo or soup dumplings may make a burstingly moist appearance. Cha siu bao are the most common buns, ethereally light balls of dough stuffed with sweet, red, five-spice pork. An adventurous appetite is not a prerequisite for sampling the spread, but it helps. Chicken feet that Anglophone Chinese restaurateurs call “Phoenix Talons” are little more than bone, gelatinous connective tissue and fried skin. Offal dishes such as tripe and intestines are common, as is a heaping plate of still-jiggly steamed jellyfish.

Maybe it’s because the food originated on the other side of the earth, but doing dim sum turns conventional restaurant wisdom on its head. You like speaking the same language as your server? Too bad. Ease of communication practically guarantees your dumplings will lack flavor. The ideal eatery is crowded with folks speaking Mandarin or Cantonese. A small restaurant will have limited options; an empty one will offer cold noodles and ribs in congealed fat. You can trust a place that makes a half-assed stab at “décor” — say, a fish tank. But no chandeliers. The bigger the chandelier, the worse the food. No Montréal dim sum-erie boasts more checks on the must-have list than La Maison Kam Fung. The just-elegantenough dining room is always packed, and on weekends the restaurant’s upper floor fills up, too. Guests waiting to be seated get a number. When their table is ready, it is called in Mandarin, Cantonese, broken French and — if the manager remembers — English. How do you know what

you’re eating? While regular menus have English and French translations, dim sum cards don’t. When an old lady wheels a cart past your table, blindly pointing at appealing items might not be a wise choice. Food-allergy sufferers can ask an English-speaking manager to write a note of caution to servers and place it beside their plates. Of course, you can also memorize the names of popular dishes, or do what I do — when you eat something good, snap a picture and save it to show your server next time. Still, the language barrier nudges diners to try new things, and at Kam Fung, it’s all good. On a recent visit, as soon as I am seated, an elderly lady in a red hat and apron arrives proffering a fried dumpling. There’s no question about its contents — the lewd smile of a crab claw protrudes from it. The breaded ball sits in a red pool, not so different from a mild Western hot sauce, but velvety smooth with a hint of vinegary sweetness. The server ticks off the item on the card rubber-banded

to the plastic standup drink menu. That is how a dim sum bill works: Waitresses mark it as you order the items, and at the end, you pay. No single plate runs much over $5 at Kam Fung, and most are half that. I can usually get away with a gluttonous meal for two for less than $40 Canadian. Next comes a plate of chicken egg rolls. Forget any Americanized Cantonese egg rolls you’ve ever had — these are twice as delicious. Almost all meat, they get their flavor from hefty doses of garlic and ginger and thin strands of cabbage. Even meatier are dense beef balls spiked with crunchy water chestnuts. A subtle citrus flavor originates from tangerine peels, but the dish bears no resemblance to the “tangerine beef ” at your local Wok-a Wok-a. Speaking of balls, the cha siu bao arrive, fluffy and still slightly dewy from the steamer. The squares of pork are tender and surprisingly lean. Orange barbecue sauce sticks to the inside of the bun, sweetening even the meatless bites. Craving ribs? Don’t expect long, skinny slabs painted red. Asian butchering can differ wildly from ours. At Kam Fung, pork ribs are bite-sized coins of bone and flesh, braised and perfumed with sesame, served atop a bucket of sticky rice. Veal ribs are also cut across the bone, not around it; Kam Fung’s

resemble a Korean galbi, but with a lightly peppery bite. In an effort to get something besides flour and fat into my system, I point to a mystery item in “tofu skin” (or yuba), a chewy wrapper that envelops savory mushrooms and ... other things. Whatever this one is, I’m fairly certain there’s no meat. Next, taro dumplings arrive. (That’s sort of a vegetable, right?) I call these unnatural wonders the “Homestyle Bake of dim sum,” referring to Banquet’s dehydrated packaged meals featuring layers of starch on meat on starch. In

this case, a crackly, Shredded Wheat-like cloud hides mashed taro, which in turn bundles a load of fatty and slightly sweet pork. Another Maison Kam Fung favorite may look and smell less than appetizing, but reveals a delightful surprise. Dark lotus leaves share their odor with wet dogs, but use them to wrap some sticky rice and pork bits and you’ve got a chewy, vaguely tea-scented dream. When I am coming to the autumn of my meal and the server hasn’t yet passed with one of my favorites, I whip out my camera, where I always keep pictures of cheong fun (rice noodle rolls) and what Kam Fung waitresses call “pork pie.” Filled with moist slices of cha siu pork and scallions, and bathed in sweetened soy sauce, the rolls suggest Chinese lasagna. The same delicious pork figures in the pork pies — suspiciously Western-looking yet authentically Chinese wands of puff pastry. Before venturing downstairs to shop at Dobe and Andy (see sidebar), I may try a dessert confection, sizeable blocks of coconut jello or delicate tarts filled with egg custard. I stay on the lookout for jin deui — chewy balls filled with red-bean paste, deep-fried and covered in sesame seeds. Dessert or not, by the time the meal is over, I’ve had a ball. Or 10. m

Chow Now: More SpotS to hit iN ChiNatowN On the way up the steps to La Maison Kam Fung, you might feel as though you are being, well, watched. The eyes belong to the deceased, crispy-skinned chickens and ducks that reside in a nearby display window. A pig or two or three also hangs from the ceiling, cooking to an inviting brown. Don’t be shy. You can order the tail. This is the passerby’s introduction to Dobe and andy, a Hong Kong-style greasy spoon par excellence. Point to your desired animal part and, voilà, it’s hacked into slices before your eyes and deposited on a fluffy pile of rice or in a bowl of mild broth and noodles, girded with fresh green cabbage and garlicky scallions. But that’s not the only reason to visit D&A. Buns are 80 cents. Canadian. Whenever I’m up north, I buy a whole week’s worth of lunch for less than six bucks. Cha siu bao come in several shapes and sizes, but I prefer the beef curry buns, whose dough reminds me of my mom’s challah. Inside are tender shreds of mild curry beef with peas, carrots and intensely flavorful mushrooms. I also stock up on lotus-leaf sticky rice and sausage rolls. (Call me a barbarian, but I prefer the kind with hot dogs baked into the bun to the cloyingly floral Chinese sausage.) For a sweet fix, walk just east to Patisserie Chow’s, a charmingly run-down-looking shop specializing in “good luck” pastries — vividly colored, flaky cookies filled with lotus or red-bean paste. Or try an egg tart. Perhaps the most unique offering is the honeydew-flavored glutinous rice ball, something like Japanese daifuku (mochi pastry) crossed with a Snowball. For treats to take home, Patisserie Harmonie is the place. This chic little bakery charges a lot for dim-sum-style pastries, but it also offers awesome Western-style cakes in Asian flavors. I

recommend the green tea cake, covered in fruits from strawberries to kiwis. The layers really taste like creamy green tea. Don’t be surprised when you bite into some texture — red beans spike the green mousse. After all that food, you may need to sit down at L2 Lounge, a bubble-tea bar. Recline in one of the low-to-the-ground couches and play

computerized trivia or surf the web. There’s a full menu of toast, covered in garlic butter, Nutella, sesame and more. Ovaltine with tapioca balls? They’ve got it. Last time I had a taro smoothie with “rainbow-flavored” jello. It seems like each time I visit Chinatown, another storefront has become a Vietnamese grocery with netted durians lolling out front. While that means a great selection of banh mi sandwiches, it also means Montréal’s tiny piece of China may not stay Chinese forever. My advice? Take a bite. — A.L.

Kora! Kora! Kora! A conversation with Malian kora master Toumani Diabate By Dan Bolles Images Courtesy of toumanI DIaBate

ali’s Toumani Diabate is indisputedly the world’s finest kora player. Period. And frankly, he should be. His family has been playing the 21-string harp-lute for more than 700 years. And you thought the Watson family had a fine stringed-instrument pedigree. Diabate is a Griot, a sort of cultural ambassador of the Mandinkan people of West Africa. As such, he is tasked with preserving and passing on the traditions of his people and, of course, the kora. But as a world-class, Grammywinning musician, he is something of a global ambassador as well. And via collaborations with the likes of Taj Mahal, Ali Farka Toure, Bjork and, most recently, banjo master Bela Fleck, he has sought to raise the instrument’s profile throughout the world. And, oh, what an instrument it is! The kora is made from a large calabash gourd, cut in half and wrapped in cow skin. Players pluck the strings with four fingers — both thumbs and index fingers — allowing bass lines, melodies and improvisational runs to be delivered simultaneously. Though they bear a faint resemblance to the harp, the kora’s fluid, languid tones are like virtually nothing else in Western music, especially in the hands of a virtuoso such as Diabate.

Having just wrapped up a tour with Fleck this month, Diabate is now on the road with his own ensemble, the Symmetric Orchestra. The group’s 10 members claim origins throughout what was in the 13th-century the Malian Mandinka Empire, from Mauritania to the Ivory Coast. They bring similarly wide-ranging musical and cultural influences, combining traditional West African instrumentation and composition with contemporary counterparts, such as the electric guitar and bass, and modern styles from blues to flamenco and salsa. Seven Days recently spoke with Diabate by phone, in advance of his performance on the Flynn MainStage and at Hopkins Center this week. seven Days: I have to admit that I’m largely unfamiliar with the kora. Could you explain a little bit about how it works and its significance? TOuMAnI DIABATE: The kora has three possibilities. You can play the bass line. And you can play melody. And you can improvise, all at the same time. It is the most important instrument in West Africa. Because the kora — there is nothing that is like the kora, you know? The second point is that the kora is only from West Africa, from Mandinka countries, Mali, Senegal, Gambia, Ivory Coast … only that enclave. And within West Africa we have, of course, other instruments like the balafon. But you can see

the balafon in different countries, different continents. Like in China. They have a balafon. In South Africa, they have a balafon. But the kora is only from West Africa, for Mandinka people.

toumanI DIaBate

sD: I’m told the instrument has been a part of your family for a very long time. exactly how many generations has your family played the kora? TD: Seventy-one. sD: that’s amazing! TD: (Laughs) Yes. sD: What does it mean to you, personally, to be part of a tradition that is hundreds of years old? TD: You know, we’re talking about the culture. For me, culture is not a book that you read. For me, the culture is family. And I’m proud and glad to be part of [another] generation. not everywhere today you can see people playing instruments from 71 generations, you know? It’s a great feeling and I’m happy to be part of that. I’m happy to promote it. sD: How is the tradition passed down? Were you given kora lessons? Is it strictly an oral, or rather, an “aural” tradition? TD: The kora is for the Griot people. We are ambassadors of the culture. So, you have to be born >> 17B

THE LAST WALTZ

People like to bitch. And moan. And in some instances, both. And why not? It’s always easier to point out why something sucks than to make the effort to find the silver lining, right? Though it’s not unique to the area by any means, rampant complaining is one of those little peculiarities that is amplified by our state’s diminutive size. Vermonters will grouse about anything. Weather? Check. Taxes? Check. Dirty pictures on a snowboard? Boy howdy. And then there is the music scene. Despite the embarrassment of riches to be found on stages across the region on any given night, certain folks (and just so we’re clear, this includes yours truly from time to time) tend to focus on what we don’t have: So-and-so indie band is playing Montréal and Boston but not Higher Ground? Another funk band at Nectar’s? Is that really “music” emanating from Radio Bean, or did someone just skin a poodle? Who the fuck wants to go to Winooski? Didn’t we just have a jazz fest last year? I’m paraphrasing, but versions of those gripes have all appeared in my inbox recently. Really. Snarky justice is truly blind. Funny thing is, most people never do a damn thing about it. Sure, we complain. But put our feet to flame — again, including me — and 99 percent of us will meekly shrink back to the sidelines. And this is precisely what makes organizations like screen-printing, indie-rock magnates Tick Tick great. They identify an issue — in this case, a dearth of out-of-state underground bands stopping in town — and they act. Or, I guess I should say, “They acted.” Last Friday, Tick Tick Booking unceremoniously called it quits in a lengthy farewell letter posted on their website — although Graham Keegan will continue the screen-printing operation. The long and short? They’re simply burned out. And with good reason. In the past two-plus years Tick Tick have been responsible for literally hundreds of shows all over the state, bringing in acts that otherwise might never have thought twice about touching down in the

Green Mountains. Not to mention bands TICK TICK that the casual fan would never have heard of until they (often inevitably) blew up nationally: Women, Beach House, Horse Feathers, Nick Jaina, Pontiak … shall I go on? ’Cuz I could. Does the impending absence of Tick Tick signal some sort of indie-rock death knell for Vermont music, as has been postulated on local Twitter feeds and blogs since the news broke? Of course not, Chicken Littles. The sky ain’t falling. It might be a little darker for a while, sure. But this is VT — see “complaining, weather,” above. Vermont music thrived long before Tick Tick was a screen-printed twinkle on an American Apparel tee. And it will continue to do so now that they’re gone, I promise. Folks such as Langdon Street Café’s Ed DuFresne, The Monkey House’s Paddy Reagan, Alex Crothers and Co. at Higher Ground, and the reinvigorated crew at Nectar’s, among others, will make sure of it. And if they don’t? Well, I’ll be out of a job — but so will they. No pressure. More than the innumerable nights of terrific music and experiences that can only be described as “a Tick Tick show,” the legacy that Julia Lewandoski, Dale Donaldson and Nick Mavadones — the last of whom will continue booking at Radio Bean — leave behind is this: If you build it, they will come. And, yeah, I just watched Field of Dreams again. Sue me. Cheesy as that sentiment undoubtedly is, Tick Tick proved it true, without a shadow of a doubt. And so it falls THE GRIFT on the rest of us to take the lesson to heart. Tick Tick will throw one last hootenanny, this Monday at The Monkey House. True to form, the lineup is an eclectic mash-up of out-of-towners and local bands. Slated to appear are Montréal indie-dance sensations Think About Life, Baltimore art-rockers Ponytail, Canadian “nightmare hippie” duo Black Feelings, Joey Pizza Slice (Nose Bleed Island) solo project Son of Salami, and B-town’s DJ Mike Device and Drew Stock. In closing, I would just like to say thanks. That’s something Tick Tick — and most local booking folks, for that matter — probably don’t hear often enough.

game for the last few months as they’ve been putting the finishing touches on a new album, slated for release next month. They make their grand scene re-entrance this Friday at Radio Bean. Speaking of CDs, In Memory of Pluto release their new EP this Friday at The Monkey House, the same night Husbands AKA drop their debut disc (see review page 14B). Meanwhile, longtime local rockers The Grift unleash their latest with a Friday-night throw-down at Middlebury’s Town Hall Theater. Looking for something to do on the last day of UVM classes? How ’bout internationally renown D&B star Juan BassHead (aka DJ Burn)at Club Metronome, Wednesday, April 29? Burlington’s 2K Deep Crew open the show. And, yes, it’s BYOG (Bring Your Own Glowsticks). That same night at the Higher Ground Ballroom, the local kids are all right as Champlain Valley Union H.S. outfit MK Ultra warm up the stage for electro-rock heavies Future Rock. Love me some homegrown openers! Speaking of kids and rockin’, this Sunday the Boys and Girls Club of Burlington hosts an (early) evening of local fare with Hello Control, Driver Side Impact, Honor Bright, The Doppler Effect and Young Denver. Shameless self-promo alert: This Friday marks the debut installment of Seven Days’ new weekly happy-hour series, “Monkey Music” at (duh) The Monkey House. First up: alt-whatever darlings Cannon Fodder. In Montpeculiar, alt-venue The Lamb Abbey unveils a new stage this Saturday. Local alt-country stalwarts Bow Thayer and Perfect Trainwreck christen the improved digs. The following afternoon, Sara Grace and the Suits headline a benefit show for the High Ledge Farm, which was recently destroyed in a fire (“Farm Fire,” Seven Days, April 15). The unfortunately named — at least in this case — Hot Flannel open. Also in the capital city on April 29, local legends Mark Legrand and Dave Keller will trade licks and tunes at the Langdon Street Café. This just in: There are still tix available for Talib Kweli’s Higher Ground Ballroom show on Wednesday, April 22. Why would I mention that? Two words: local openers (Deuce and Mil). If you were going to throw a show called “Fucked Up Music V. 2.0,” where would you do it? Outerspace Café, right? Right. Get, um, you know, this Friday with Cranked, Brown Heir, tooth ache., Lawrence Welks and Our Bear to Cross, Nose Bleed Island and Rats Cops.

your FavoriTe muSic :: To paraphrase Nick Hornby, do we listen to rock music because we are sad, or are we sad because we listen to rock music? Who knows? But when it sounds as sublime as the new eponymous album from elvis

Perkins in dearland, who really cares? Elegiac yet

celebratory, mournful yet triumphant, the record is a sterling example of that age-old emotional rock paradox. There’s a reason generally happy people love sad music, and Elvis Perkins might just be it. Catch the band this Saturday, April 25, at the Higher Ground Showcase Lounge with fellow indie-folk masters of melancholia The low anthem.

HUSBANDS AKA, SWIFT STREET

JANE BOXALL, SPHERICAL MUSIC

(Self-released, CD)

When that toy xylophone you bang on as a child grows up, it probably dreams of maturing into the marimba. This exotic member of the percussion family evolved from African and South American roots. Jane Boxall, a native Brit and recent transplant to Burlington, plays on a beaut: a 9-foot-long, five-octave Coe marimba. The rosewood keys, arrayed with whole and half notes like a piano keyboard, have aluminum pipes suspended below to amplify the sound when the musician’s mallets strike the wood. Boxall’s debut CD, Spherical Music, shows off the marimba’s sensuous sonorities across a wide range of musical styles. Because the performer uses multiple mallets to hit several notes at a time, solo marimba music can weave complex lines of counterpoint and create sophisticated harmonies. The opening track, Vida Chenoweth’s “Invention No. 1” (1953), has a Bach-inspired vibe. Its jaunty fugue unspools with clarity, while highlighting the marimba’s tonal warmth. The trio of “Country Dances” (1950), by Eloise Niwa, also captures a playful Baroque energy. Pianist Samuel Gingher accompanies Boxall, and the two instruments engage in a spirited exchange of melodic and harmonic material. One flaw: The piano sound seems hollow compared to the marimba, as if the instrument wasn’t properly miked in the recording studio. In many of the other tracks, Boxall demonstrates the marimba’s wonderful niche combining percussive power and sweetness of tone. Victoria Poleva’s “Warm Wind” (2008) and Eve Beglarian’s “Spherical Music” (1985/1998) display how the instrument, in Boxall’s expert hands, conjures a tremendous range of effects. Quiet passages feel delicately atmospheric and meditative; louder ones ruminate, rumble and grow stormy. One curious and ultimately distracting choice is that Boxall intersperses the CD’s principal tracks with seven brief excerpts from her 2002 composition, “Untitled.” So Chenoweth’s lovely “Invention” and Poleva’s relaxing “Warm Wind” are separated by 14 seconds of, well, it’s hard to know what it is. It’s not a discrete movement of a piece, nor is it solo marimba music. The liner notes don’t explain “Untitled”; they contain just a list of track titles and thank-yous. Why not run all the excerpts together and at least note the instrumentation? As fascinating as it is to listen to the CD, taking in a live performance of this unusual instrument seems like an even more enticing option. Jane Boxall appears this Friday, April 24, at Burlington’s Designhaus, at 7 p.m. She supplements her marimba music with electronics, drums and live photography projections. Bassist Aram Bedrosian also performs.

(Intermediate Swing, CD)

Ska is back. Well, actually, it never really went anywhere. Though the ornery grandfather of reggae — that’s right, dreadies, ska came first — has undergone numerous evolutions since first appearing in Jamaican dancehalls some 60 years ago, the (up)beat goes on — even if it’s occasionally reduced to skanking solitarily in the forgotten corners of popular consciousness. Still, there have always been torchbearers. The Skatalites — or whatever version of the original group they’re literally rolling out these days — have continued playing virtually from inception. The Toasters picked up the dying embers of Two Tone in the early 1980s and laid the groundwork for the late 1990s revival. And somewhere, most likely in a Midwest teen center, Reel Big Fish continues, shamelessly unabated. What, then, to make of Burlington’s Husbands AKA? Technically speaking, it’s a bit early for the “Fourth Wave” — if trends hold true, we’re not due for another checkered tsunami for at least another five years. Is it possible Vermont has its own keepers of the flame? With their debut album, Swift Street, the answer is unequivocally “yes.” In a swirl of Toaster-ly organ and clean, staccato guitar, “Up Beat, Beat Down” introduces the album, and reintroduces the many-splendored wonders of the Third Wave. Vocalist Dylan Burns spits rapid-fire lyrics with just a hint of bratty British sneer before the band floors it into overdrive on an anthemic punk chorus. “Outcast” follows and gives healthy nods — and fist pumps — to ska’s maladjusted stepbrother, oi. Both “Ghost Stories” and “Ska Beat” oblige that graffiti’d cornerstone of the Third Wave, skapunk. The band’s early live shows hinted that they might be more comfortable on the latter side of that particular hyphen. But on both tunes — and, really, throughout the album — Husbands AKA show marked improvements in musicianship, cleanly busting in and out of breakdowns. In particular, Chris Valyou’s bass lines are crisp and bright, accenting Alex Pond’s nifty drumwork. And the interplays between guitarist Sean Fitzpatrick and guitarist/organist Tyson Valyou are seamlessly tight. “Trustafarian” is a cleverly snarky romp, followed by the mod-ish “American Dream.” Jawbreaker’s “Boxcar,” the album’s lone cover, is next and reaffirms the unbridled glory that is a well-done ska cover — trust me, not all of them are. “Dance Party” is perhaps the disc’s lone misstep, as it gamely espouses just about every ska cliché imaginable. Fortunately, it’s followed by the band’s signature tune, the appropriately genre-hopping “Chameleon,” which closes out the disc in rude fashion. So, yeah. Ska is “back.” Whatever. More importantly, ska is back in Burlington, entrusted to the care of worthy guardians. Husbands AKA release Swift Street with a locals-only affair at The Monkey House this Friday, April 24.

experience of playing with Bela is great. Bela is a great, great, great musician. Very intelligent. And a very inspired guy. Inspired playing. Every day playing with Bela is different. I love playing with Bela.

<< 09B

Griot. You can’t become Griot. And the Griot family is like a school where you learn how to play. You learn how to talk, because it is an oral tradition. The Griot’s job is to make a communication. But ambassadors are also storytellers. So the Griot family is a school where you learn all of that. But for my side, I didn’t learn the kora with anybody. The kora was a gift from God to me. And from different generations, the music was already in my blood. My father, and grandfather before him … and so on, they were all great musicians. Great, great musicians.

SD: You released Djelika in 1995. And at that point in time, electronic instruments and synthesizers and drum machines were beginning to make serious inroads in Malian music. Yet you specifically chose to record an allacoustic sound on that album. Why was it important for you to make that decision? TD: You know, I’ve played with Bela. I’ve played with Taj Mahal. With Bjork, which is electronic music. But it is good to have acoustic music. Because my concerts, playing Toumani Diabate alone, or Toumani Diabate and his friends, it is not only the concert. It is also education for you guys. Because we come from long generations of musicians, musical families. And we have our traditional instruments. So I think it’s always good to show that to people in different in cultures. But I feel people sometimes need to go in that way [with electronic instruments], because synthesizers, keyboards and those things, it’s good, you know? Some people like it. But some people didn’t like it, you know? But I’m happy to do albums like Djelika, that are acoustic and people love it. I’m not interested in making music that people can just listen

SD: You recently finished touring with Bela Fleck. Could you talk a little bit about that experience? TD: Did you know that the banjo is from Africa? SD: I did know that! TD: Oh, yeah? Well, the people who came here brought the banjo. The banjo is like the ngoni, our country’s traditional guitar. So Bela took the banjo back to Africa and met great musicians from Africa there, you know? I’m happy to be part of this project. And the Toumani Diabate’s Symmetric Orchestra, Flynn MainStage, Burlington, Saturday, April 25, at 8 p.m. $23/33/43. www.flynncenter.org Spaulding Auditorium, Hopkins Center, Dartmouth College, Hanover, N.H., Tuesday, April 28, at 7 p.m. $26/5. hop.dartmouth.edu.

to for [a short time], like a commercial, maybe. I like to play music that people can come and listen to for many years. Like a book, that’s the idea. All CDs are historical. So, you should have something to say so people can keep listening for many years, you know? SD: So, when you play with the Symmetric Orchestra, which incorporates more modern sounds with traditional ones, how do you manage to maintain the integrity of the kora? TD: Well, music doesn’t have any borders. With Symmetric Orchestra, the kora is in the middle of this project. As I told you before, the kora has three possibilities. You can play bass, melody and improvisation all at one time. So the bass played by the kora, is the same bass played by the electric bass. The melody is played by the electric guitar. And I’ll improvise with different traditional instruments in the band, like the ngoni, djembe, balafon. And we put the voice on top of all that, you know? So it’s still the same music. The kora is a complete instrument. So it is for you guys to understand more what is the role of the kora. SD: Listening to your most recent solo album, The Mande Variations, I honestly did a double take. Correct me if I’m wrong, but at the beginning of “Cantelowes,” you quote the theme from The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. TD: (Laughs) Yes!

SD: I thought so! And is that why you included that? To help American audiences understand, to make the kora more accessible? TD: Yes. Well, I’m still learning the kora. In my mind, I’m still learning. But when I was young, starting to play kora, this movie The Good, the Bad and the Ugly was playing. It was a cowboy movie

come to Africa — and we would get some Bollywood movies from India, too. But this is not part of my music. It’s just to make more sense, to give a quick break going back to when I was first starting to play. As the French people would say, this movie is a souvenir for me. And also it’s a souvenir for you. It is just about communication. m

Six years of songwriting and introspection culminated in the release of k.d. lang’s most recent and eclectic album, Watershed. With a little bit of jazz, a touch of country, some Brazilian undertones, and even pop, the genre-jumping, Grammy-winning Canadian songbird has soared to even greater heights. The self-produced album, showcasing her bring-down-the-house vocals in more intimate and understated songs, stands out in lang’s more-than-25-year career. “I was ready to conquer the world, and my voice was just an extension of my exuberance,” says lang of her early years. Now her voice meets soulful lyrics, strings and guitars in the style that she says “really feels like the way I hear music.” k.d. lang

TWICE AROUND There’s one special soulmate out there for everybody, right? But what if you meet your match and … fireworks fizzle? Should you give up on love, or try again? Subtitled “Your Second Chance Is Waiting,” this original musical from Northern Stage answers the latter question with a resounding yes. Two men and two women, each fresh from a breakup with “the one,” fling themselves into the perils of the Internet dating scene, then unloose their hearts in songs with cheeky titles such as “Sixty’s the New 40” and “You Can’t Judge a Profile by the Picture.” The four strong voices in this worldpremiere cast belong to veterans of Broadway and touring companies. With music by Brett Schrier and book and lyrics by Catherine Doherty, Take Two is poised to go big. Don’t wait to catch it on the rebound. ‘TAKE TWO’

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

Volcanic ash and duck poop caught Stowe-based author Jan Reynolds’ attention when she thought about the concept of sustainability. Reynolds decided to investigate the Balinese rice-farming practices that utilize these all-natural fertilizers and pesticides, and she went on to publish her discoveries in a new book aimed at young readers, Cycle of Rice, Cycle of Life: A Story of Sustainable Farming. As she explored the ways Bali islanders have been farming for more than 1000 years without harming their environment, the Middlebury native, who grew up on a dairy farm, drew parallels to her home state. In a lively and personal multimedia presentation, featuring tasty and sustainable comestibles, Reynolds “tells all” about her travels and experiences living with indigenous tribes around the world.

Flynn Center 2009 CINEMA OUTRÉ Burlington College film students get around — take ’05-’06 graduates Nathan Beaman, Adam Lukens and Justin Bennett, who trekked to Arizona and the Dominican Republic to shoot the new acclaimed indie baseball flick Sugar. So the school’s annual showcase of student work just might be the place to spot rising talent. Featuring short films, TV broadcasts, music videos and photography, it promises local audiences offbeat visions of familiar places — such as the Parkway Diner in Paul Elsasser’s film noir short, “White Elephant,” SAT.25 starring Woody Woodhead and Taryn Noelle (pictured). Look for a creepy depiction of the creative process in Mark Hardigan’s “Charcoal,” about an artist who can’t stop drawing an imaginary girl and then finds out she’s real. The flyer also promises a performance by the “surviving members of mega band Willem Dafoe’s Chest.” As in the one Madonna dripped hot wax on? Come and find out.

Wednesday, June 17 at 7:30 pm Video at www.flynncenter.org Tickets on sale to Flynn Members on Tuesday, April 28 at 10 am and to the public on Monday, May 4 at 10 am.

If you’re looking for relationships, dates, flirts, or to hook-up, this is your scene. WOMEN seeking MEN BEAUTIFUL BLUE EYES Fit, active, intelligent & youthful, being outdoors charges my batteries. Dance, biking, rollerblading, skiing & hiking all rock. Quieter pursuits include knitting, spinning, reading, cooking & movies. Qualities I seek in a mate are those I personally cultivate: honesty, respect, compassion, kindness & integrity. Spark is essential, but can develop over time - friendship is an excellent way to start... Auriel, 57, #113628 RESOURCEFUL, AMBITIOUS & INDEPENDENT I will try just about anything once, but I don’t ever want to do the same thing every day. I love my dogs to death. I live in the middle of nowhere & I love it! I like to live off the land & I love crazy, creative ideas. I’m all about thinking outside the box. Derbygirl, 36, #111633 ADVENTUROUS, SEXY, COUNTRY, SOCIAL, FUN I am a single female just looking for a slightly older guy who isn’t afraid to have fun. I like to go out & have a good time, but don’t want someone who drinks too much. Right now I’m just looking for a friend to have a good time with who may turn into something more. bunnyboo221, 24, l, #113608 SAVVY, INDEPENDENT, CARING Life is great, and what has happened in the past has made it. I’m looking forward, without running from the past. I admit to a strong personality and balance it by finding balance, as I like ease in relationships. Humor: without it I’d have gone crazy. Crazy is not bad in very small doses; then it is often just laughter. english56, 52, l, #113599 LET THE SUN SHINE IN I’m a college student. I enjoy doing anything from hiking outside to hanging out & watching movies. I grew up in Vermont, but go to college outside of the state and am looking for someone to enjoy the summer with.

Dear Mistress Maeve, I recently had a horribly embarrassing experience with anal sex. I’ll spare you the gory details — let’s just say, if cleanliness is next to godliness, I was dancing with the devil. I know anal sex can get messy, but you must have some tips for avoiding unwelcome messes? Signed, Mrs. Clean

Dear Mrs. Clean, If you’re going to do anal, you have to be prepared to get your hands dirty — but perhaps not literally. Before anal play, have a bowel movement. Feces collect in the colon and only enter the rectum shortly before you feel the urge to go; so, as long as you have a movement before sex, you’re most likely in the clear. For added cleanliness, take a shower and gently insert a soapy finger into your rectum and rinse completely — I suggest using a mild, organic soap on your most delicate of parts. A good BM and a shower should do the trick, but if you still have that not-so-fresh feeling, you can opt for an enema of lukewarm water. If you’re looking for something less invasive, try a few squirts of warm water from an ear syringe to clear the way. And, as always, keep a container of baby wipes by the bed for those unwelcome messes, because you know what they say — “it” happens.

Squeaky clean,

Yellow Sweatshirt at Three Needs I saw you at Three Needs late on Thursday night. You were wearing a yellow sweatshirt & a braid in your hair. We made eye contact & I thought you were beautiful.

Me: Man. #905618 Bumper Sticker Question We were both walking into the building on Tilley Drive in S. Burl. You noticed my bumper sticker & asked me who I wanted to be. I said, “Everything I am.” You & your handsome eyes! Wish I could talk to you more. I’m single & more than worth another question and your time. If you’re single, take a leap. When: Thursday, April 9, 2009. Where: Tilley Drive, S. Burl. You: Man. Me: Woman. #905617 Burlap Finest? We briefly chatted whilst in state office. You were so kind with the timid-looking youngster. I too got a badge sticker...again, too kind. Just hoping you are still smiling - that’s too good to miss out on! When: Monday, April 6, 2009. Where: Burl. State Office. You: Man. Me: Woman. #905616 Holiday Inn Express Hottie At first, I thought you were military, but then the young girl at the front desk told me you were the general manager. My girlfriends make fun of me but I love a mature man. My parents are coming up for graduation May 16. Hopefully I see you at breakfast - I’ll be in the UVM shirt. Hopefully I get the courage to say hello. When: Monday, April 6, 2009. Where: Holiday Inn Express. You: Man. Me: Woman. #905615

We Found Each Other! Neither of us thought the other was interested, then we went our separate ways. After many years, we met again.
