WEEK IN REVIEW

The Frying Game

facing facts JOBS, JOBS, JOBS

IBM is hiring, and so is Dealer.com — a total of 400 jobs between them. Now will they stop threatening to leave?

Seven Days food writer Alice Levitt had never tried “authentic fish ’n’ chips, made by authentic English people,” until she visited Union Jack’s on Shelburne Road in Burlington. Last week, Levitt and video intern Elizabeth Rossano filmed the latest episode of “Bite Club TV” at Union Jack’s, which is one of two fish ’n’ chips shops in the state — the other is in Bennington.

WHICH GLITCH?

An anti-virus software update shut down state computers for hours last week. Imagine what a virus could do.

Shelley Cleveland and her husband Ron opened the restaurant last month, after operating a Blimpy franchise in the same spot since 1999. Shelley Cleveland is from Yorkshire, England. She makes ﬁsh ’n’ chips by following her grandmother’s recipe. Levitt was eager to try the signature dish, but she was just as interested in frying up some more unconventional foods, such as candy bars, maraschino cherries and chocolate chip cookies. “I’ve read that this is a trendy thing in ﬁsh ’n’ chips shops all over the world,” notes Levitt.

LAVA LAND

Greece-bound Vermont high schoolers never got out of Montréal. Instead of classics, they got a hard lesson in geology.

Union Jack’s will also have samples of these fried items on hand in the coming weeks, so customers can vote for the ones they’d like to add to the menu. Levitt likes the fried Mint Aero Bar. “It tastes like a mint chocolate soufﬂe,” she says. Watch the video of their frying frenzy at sevendaysvt.com.

projectors in sync, which created massive headaches for theater owners (and viewers, since sync problems caused queasiness). Nowadays, the same film reel or digital hard drive can hold both images, superimposed or presented successively. Right now, there are three competing digital 3-D projection systems. (The Majestic uses Dolby’s 3-D, Essex has its main competitor, Sony’s RealD, and the Capitol uses Technicolor’s 3-D for regular film.) The jury’s still out on which combination of lenses and goggles gives you the best optical illusion. But now there’s another factor to consider: Was the movie shot in 3-D, with binocular versions of each shot? Or has the extra perspective been added? If you saw the Clash of the Titans trailer back in December, you may have noticed it wasn’t in 3-D — because the movie wasn’t. A rush job by a company called Prime Focus, inspired by the massive success of Avatar, gave it some depth. Alice in Wonderland was also retroactively “Dimensionalized” — to use the roll-offthe-tongue term trademarked by another conversion company, In-Three. Basically, this means scores of technicians went through the flat film on a computer, decided what should jump out, and used digital magic — rotoscoping and painting — to give it the illusion of volume. Prime Focus converted Titans in about 10 weeks to the tune of $50,000 to $100,000 per minute of footage, according to the Hollywood Reporter. Director James Cameron is among those criticizing the process, claiming it doesn’t look as good as “real” 3-D (which somehow hasn’t stopped him from planning a 3-D conversion of Titanic). But do audiences care? Dale Chapman, manager of Essex Cinemas, says that “to the average person,” as long as filmmakers

aren’t “being hokey” in their use of 3-D, “it’s gonna be an incredible experience.” People may be less likely to critique unconvincing 3-D than they are to complain that the optical illusion is making them want to hurl. Dozens of articles have surfaced about moviegoers who complained of headaches and nausea during Avatar. Two of my Seven Days coworkers say they experienced this problem. Chapman believes digital projection has eliminated most of the nausea risk, and says he’s heard from only three or four moviegoers who suffered ill effects: “Their eyes or their body can’t handle the 3-D aspect.” Scientists have yet to produce hard numbers of people made queasy by 3-D, and the explanations seem, so far, hypothetical. According to Anahad O’Connor’s health blog for the New York Times, “unnatural eye movements” are to blame. Some suggest the solution is not to look at parts of the image the director has left unfocused. Meanwhile, the Vestibular Disorders Association maintains the problem is “sensory conflict” that happens when your eyes tell you you’re flying and your inner ear tells you you’re sitting in the Majestic 10. With 3-D TVs ready for market and 3-D broadcasts planned, we can expect to see more research soon. For now, though, nausea doesn’t seem to be putting any dent in the profits of Avatar, Alice, et al. If 3-D becomes as standard as stereo sound, in 20 years we could all be referring to 2-D films as “flatties.” Or dismissing dimensionality, once again, as a fad. Time will tell. m outraged, or merely curious, about something? send your burning question to wtf@sevendaysvt.com.

n April 1, 2009, one 3-D movie was playing in Burlington-area theaters — a cartoon. This April 1, there were four, only one of them animated. Blame Avatar. That blockbuster showed theater owners that people will pay higher ticket prices for a live-action 3-D experience, which translates into profits for an embattled industry. Locally, the Majestic 10 in Williston and the Essex Cinemas started using 3-D digital projection systems early in 2009. Nearly a month ago, Montpelier’s Capitol Showplace jumped on the 3-D bandwagon using a 35-millimeter film-based system. So they’ll all be ready for Phish 3D when it opens nationwide on April 30. Here’s the thing: Taking a family of four to one of these spectacles will run you nearly 40 bucks (in Manhattan, it’s closer to $60). So it’s worth asking: What’s up with the new dimension? Are all 3-D movies as cool looking as Avatar? And how do you know if 3-D is going to make you sick to your stomach? Devices that produce the illusion of depth perception have been around forever. I have an old-timey gadget called a stereoscope: a card printed with two sideby-side photos of a suspension bridge. Gaze through the goggles attached to the card by a metal frame, and you see one bridge, now in 3-D. Basically, 3-D film projection systems work the same way. For each shot, the camera (or cameras) captures two images corresponding to the positions of the virtual viewer’s left and right eyes. In the theater, special glasses use polarization, interference filtering or LCD shutters to pipe each set of images to the appropriate eye of the real viewer — and, presto, that spear is in your face. Back in the 1950s, the double image could only be created by running two

POLI PSY | On the public uses and abuses of emotion By JUD ITH L E V I NE

Unnatural Disasters harder to release 200 Bangladeshis, some with British passports, from the Brussels airport, where they’d been waylaid en route to Britain. One solution the officials considered was to let the Bangladeshis take a bus or train to London, “under supervision.” All this says one thing: An earthquake, flood or volcano is a different event for the Dutch employee of an information technology company or the Spanish student bumming around California than

Earth either a homicidal abuser or just an angry, distracted mother. Thanks to dysfunctional states, poor infrastructure and inadequate health care systems, 95 percent of deaths from natural events occur in poor countries. Heavy national debt and scarce insurance make reconstruction slow and spotty, if it happens at all. Economic policy can exacerbate danger rather than mitigate it. Volcanoes, for instance, are not generally fatal.

That’s because, through most of history, few people have lived near them. Yet today in the Bay of Naples, one of Italy’s poorest regions, “government-sponsored schemes of economic development and rural-to-urban migration have … resulted in at least 700,000 people now being at risk in the event of a future eruption of Vesuvius,” writes University of Liverpool geographer David K. Chester. And once the Earth trembles or the sky opens, policy can worsen the aftereffects — for some. As Naomi Klein documented in The Shock Doctrine, after the tsunami of 2004 conveniently removed poor fishermen from their beachfront homes, the Indonesian government prohibited them from moving back, so corporations could build luxury resorts on this prime real estate. Nature is sometimes humankind’s

it is for the impoverished Kenyan rose handler or Pakistani migrant family. A hazard, wrote Bucknell University geographer Paul Susman, is “the interface between an extreme physical event and a vulnerable human population.” What makes populations vulnerable? “They are forced off their land or don’t have the resources to live,” he said. “They end up inhabiting dangerous places.” Politics, war, corruption and poverty, of both nations and individuals, conspire to create vulnerability. From the potato famine of 1845, when British government free traders let the Irish starve while corn and barley were shipped to England to fetch better prices, to the Chinese earthquake of 2008, when shoddily built schools collapsed to bury thousands of children, it is acts of people, not of God, that make

evil business partner. The droughts, storms and other extreme weather brought about by global warming are starving the global south, while warmer weather might turn out to be a boon for northern nations. Ironic — since it’s the north whose cars and factories caused the environmental catastrophe in the first place. The rich get richer; the poor get poorer. And even within classes, the restless earth settles the social sediment into layers. That Dutch worker held up for a week in Chicago is unlikely to lose wages — welfare-state regulations and benefits see to that. An American similarly indisposed, however, might lose her job. For related reasons, the volcano has not caused much trouble in its own neighborhood. The eruption injured or killed no one. Of the country’s 310,000 residents, only a few hundred farmers living near Eyjafjallajökull were affected by the lava flows and melting glaciers. The ash cloud drifted away; Iceland’s planes flew. In fact, Icelanders’ unity and moral self-image had been badly shattered by the collapse of the country’s major banks in the financial crisis of 2009. When Britain and the Netherlands demanded compensation for their losses, a popular referendum in Iceland rejected a tax on working people to redress the sins of the financiers. The wealthy nation had rarely had to confront class conflict. But it reportedly is pulling together as Eyjafjallajökull spits its wrath. Icelanders are joking: “The Brits wanted cash, but since there’s no C in the Icelandic language, all they’re getting is ash.” And probably more than the nation’s esprit de corps will be restored in the eruptions’ aftermath. Given its history, it’s unlikely the state will abandon Eyjafjallajökull’s farmers to pick up the pieces on their own. In spite of its recent problems, Iceland is rich, its people are healthy, and its economy is resilient. So, when millions of Haitians perish, when the Kenyan flower packer goes hungry or the Nicaraguan’s hut disappears under a mudslide, don’t blame Mother Nature. Blame ourselves. For there is nothing natural about the disaster in natural disaster. m

side from being unpronounceable, the Eyjafjallajökull volcano may finally be remembered by the hardship it did not cause. Yes, the airlines lost about $200 million a day during the no-fly period — and their investors and workers will feel the pain. SAS temporarily laid off 2500 employees. There was talk (though there is always talk) of British Airways going bankrupt. Still, the press was uniquely unsuccessful in finding privation amid the ashes. Around the globe, reporters gathered tales of harrowing inconvenience. The New York Daily News described a young French couple at JFK, who “live[d] on tiny, hard cots squeezed between piles of luggage and other weary travelers.” They rose at 3 a.m. to wash their armpits in the public bathrooms, before the crowds hit the sinks, and scavenged food from the vending machines. Each day, said the News, they battled “boredom and desperation.” Other passengers watched their cellphone batteries run down as they hunted for electrical outlets in which to recharge them. An African tour operator, awaiting 20 no-show safari customers, was “forced to change their lodging and trekking permits.” Paramount Pictures had to move the world premiere of Iron Man 2 from London to Los Angeles. And cybercrooks — who take advantage of major news events to position their security-busting software for undetected download — were stymied trying to spell the volcano’s name. I found one example of bona fide desperation in the Western media: 5000 Kenyan flower workers, who earn $4 a day, were furloughed while roses and other perishable agricultural products rotted on the loading docks. And, scouring the Asian, African and Middle Eastern press, I discovered another: Passengers from countries such as China, India, Iran, Pakistan and Bangladesh were virtually imprisoned in European airports, without access to their luggage, because of EU travel restrictions no doubt related to terrorism. According to an Iranian writing in the Asia Times, “the German government has been dragging its feet on issuing temporary visas to such stranded passengers, while passengers for example from Russia have received the paperwork needed to leave the airport.” Belgian officials worked

om Damon knows the name of every tall tree that towers over his country home in Morrisville: hemlock, red maple, black cherry and the fat, gnarly white pine. He also knows which ones are getting chopped down to make way for airplanes landing at the nearby Morrisville-Stowe State Airport: all of them. Damon, a retired arborist, spent years pruning and tending the trees growing on his five-acre property in a private development off Route 100. He and his wife, Joanne, bought the modest clapboard home 20 years ago, in part because of the old-growth canopy under which it nestles. Now Tom Damon says the state wants to “clear-cut” his yard as part of an airport expansion plan aimed at making the runway approach safer. The Damons are angry about losing their largest trees and insulted by the price a state-contracted acquisition firm has offered to pay for them. A realtor hired by the couple says losing the trees would knock at least $75,000 off the home’s value. O.R. Colan Associates of Warwick, R.I.,

however, is offering the Damons less than a third of that amount, the couple says. “It’s not fair,” Joanne Damon says. “They’re our trees. It’s our land. We landscaped it and cultivated it and enjoyed it for all these years. Now strangers want to come in with chain saws, and we don’t want that.” The Damons and 10 neighbors living just south of the runway are losing trees that have encroached on the “glide path” of airplanes taking off and landing. That glide path is changing because the runway is being repaved and shifted 100 feet to the south. Plus, the runway safety area, a grass patch for planes that overshoot the tarmac, is being expanded to meet the Federal Aviation Administration’s minimum safety standards. The $2.5 million project is part of a master plan for modernizing and expanding several of Vermont’s 10 state-owned airports. Even as the state looks to sell an underused airport in the Northeast Kingdom town of Island Pond, the Vermont Agency of Transportation (VTrans) is pursuing a multimillion-dollar campaign to transform several other small airfields into more modern aviation hubs that it hopes will lure businesses, executives and highrolling tourists eager to spend money and create jobs in Vermont. The Douglas administration believes that with more hangar space, better marketing and longer runways capable of accommodating light jets and larger propeller planes, these far-flung airports can become economic engines that bring jobs and tourism to some of Vermont’s most economically hard-hit regions. The administration has two goals here: First, to bring outdated air facilities into compliance with FAA safety requirements, thereby ensuring that federal dollars continue to flow. And second, to turn the airports themselves from money losers that cost the state $1 million each year into moneymakers. It’s an ambitious plan that’s getting loud support from business and tourism leaders. But not everyone is on board. The Damons and other homeowners impacted by the airport projects complain that their properties are being devalued for the benefit of wealthy private-plane owners and corporations that whisk VIPs in and out of the small airports. Today, the Damons can see lights from the Morrisville-Stowe airport shining over the tops of their trees. Once those trees are gone, they fear the glare will beam right in their windows.

“It is a forest and has a wilderness feeling,” Joanne Damon says of their yard. “We’ve had bear and moose in our yard. Now we’ll be able to look right in the neighbors’ windows, which is like every other suburb.”

are big winners for Vermont, pumping $90 million a year into the state’s economy, according to a 2003 economic impact study commissioned by VTrans. That figure includes the payrolls of everyone directly employed through the airports; the impact of air-dependent businesses such as cargo carrier Wiggins Airways; and the money spent by air visitors at Vermont hotels, restaurants and retail stores. But the airports themselves are chronic losers, running a combined deficit of $1 million a year. How do a few little airports spill that much red ink? In short, they get so little use that money from hangar leases, fuel taxes and landing fees can’t cover the modest cost of keeping the runways plowed, the grass mowed and the terminal buildings staffed and heated. The full scope of the problem is detailed in a series of newly released business plans prepared for the state by consulting firm McFarland Johnson of South Burlington. The worst offender is Edward F. Knapp State Airport in Berlin, a pair of asphalt runways with a squat, gray terminal building on one side. By McFarland Johnson’s calculations, Knapp’s deficit tops $140,000 a year and, if left unchecked, will balloon to $155,800 within two years.

VTrans aviation program manager Rich Turner responds that the public already pays for roads, rails and bridges most Vermonters never use. Airports are no different, Turner says. To the suggestion of raising fees on airport users, VTrans is lukewarm at best. Turner views the prices charged for fuel, hangar leases and landing fees as taxes and says the Douglas administration has shown an aversion to hiking them. Zicconi doesn’t sound thrilled about the idea, either. “Sometimes there’s only so far you can go 4/26/10 1:23:52 PM with fair prices,” he says. “There’s a point16t-nido042810.indd 1 where the market can only bear so much.” The airport business plans, however, suggest the market could easily bear higher prices. Newport State Airport has sold airplane fuel for $4.50 a gallon — below both the state average of $5.12 a gallon and the national average of $4.62 a gallon. Knapp airport in Berlin leases hangar space for just 7 cents a square foot — half what it costs in Rutland and Springfield. Charging even 15 cents a square foot at Knapp would more than double the airport’s revenue while still holding the price below market value, according to McFarland Johnson. Finally, at Caledonia County State Airport, which performs so poorly that McFarland Johnson recommended closing the facility outright, the price to “tie down,” or park, an airplane is just $25 a e s s e x s h o p p e s & c i n e m a month — half the fee charged at airports in Oswego County, N.Y., Northampton, Mass., FACTORY OUTLETS and Rochester, N.H. VTrans doesn’t directly manage most airports but rather contracts with a number of independent “fixed-base operators” to provide maintenance, landscaping and ancillary services to pilots. For instance, Dave Whitcomb has been the fixed-base operator of the Morrisville-Stowe airport for more than two decades. He leases Special Promotional hangar space from the state, then collects SEVENDAYSVt.com

Other airports don’t perform much better. Consider these yearly deficits calculated by the consultants: Hartness State Airport in Springfield, $117,200; Newport State Airport, $71,000; Morrisville-Stowe State Airport, $70,000; William H. Morse State Airport in Bennington, $55,000; Franklin County State Airport, $24,000; Middlebury State Airport, $15,000; Caledonia County State Airport, $14,000; and John H. Boylan State Airport in Island Pond, $4500. Rutland-Southern Vermont Regional Airport runs $326,000 in the red, the consultants estimate. But because it has commercial air service, Rutland qualifies for federal reimbursements to cover operating losses, says VTrans spokesman John Zicconi. The other airports’ losses are recouped out of taxpayers’ pockets. VTrans subsidizes the airports using money from the state’s transportation fund, which is collected from taxes on gas and vehicle purchases, as well as DMV fees. Zicconi downplays the airports’ deficits. He likens state airports to Amtrak, a habitual money loser that stays afloat only because of generous federal subsidies. “Governments subsidize public transit for the good of the citizenry,” Zicconi says.

Brian Lindner has spent 40 years finding lost planes in the hills of Vermont B y A ndy Bromage

rian Lindner is thigh-deep in snow on the summit of Mount Abraham when he spies what he’s looking for. Tucked under dense evergreens, partially buried in snow, lies the wreckage of a single-engine plane that crashed on the mountaintop in 1973. At first glance, the airplane, a Cessna 182N, could almost pass for an old rusty car. The engine and propeller are gone, the controls ripped out. What remains is only the brown and white fuselage — crumpled like an aluminum can — a sheared-off wing and pieces of sheet metal littering the forest. On its hull, visitors have scrawled names or messages such as “Tilley” and “DANK.” The wreck sits just feet from the Long Trail, one of Vermont’s most traveled, but you could easily miss it. On the day Lindner led Seven Days on a 90-minute hike to the site, we almost did. Lindner has spent most of his life researching plane crashes in Vermont, hiking deep into the woods to find the wreckage. He was lured into the pastime at the age of 11 by one of Vermont’s most infamous air disasters: the 1944 crash of a B-24 into Camel’s Hump that killed nine crewmen. Now 57, Lindner has spent the years since investigating and searching for lesser-known crashes. Over four decades, he has cataloged 31 wrecks in the woods of Vermont and hiked to more than half of them. The crash on top of Mount Abraham in Lincoln was one of the easy ones: A friend told him just where to find it. More typical are the arduous, yearslong pursuits that have led Lindner on more wild goose chases than he can remember. It took Lindner almost four years

to find a wreck in Brandon, where an L-20 Beaver — a big single-engine propeller plane — went down in a snow squall in 1957, an incident Lindner calls “Vermont’s most botched search and rescue ever.” Officials thought the plane was sitting on the tarmac at Bradley International Airport in Connecticut when in fact it had crashed in Vermont. Three men on board were killed on Brian Lindner impact, and a fourth died of dehydration waiting to be rescued.

flying and who last worked on the engine. The crash Lindner has guided us to is a perfect example. The pilot took two friends up one morning in June 1973 and got lost in the clouds. He was descending slowly when, all of a sudden, he saw the mountain in front of him. He clipped treetops and smashed into the forest. Not only were the plane’s occupants not hurt but, miraculously, they came to rest 100 feet from the Long Trail. “They popped open the hatch and just walked out,” Lindner says. Not everyone is so lucky, of course. Mount Abraham is rugged and remote. Crashing in dense forest can spell certain doom for someone ill equipped for survival. Lindner documents every crash site he’s found with exact GPS coordinates, photographs and notes. Someday, he plans to donate the whole collection to the Vermont Historical Society or the University of Vermont. His next quest begins this summer: a wreck in Lowell that two men working on the Lowell wind-turbine project recently stumbled upon. Lindner is not a pilot and, perhaps remarkably, has no fear of flying. “But if I ever die in a plane crash, all my friends are going to laugh,” he says. “How ironic.” m

pponents of the “improvement” projects are by no means all antiairport NIMBYs. The Damons say they’ve mostly enjoyed living near the airfield and watching the planes come and go. Though neither has flown out of Morrisville-Stowe, Tom and Joanne Damon say they understand why

ot all locals may see value in the Morrisville-Stowe airport, but the will — and money — to expand it is there. The story of Island Pond’s John H. Boylan State Airport is quite a different one. It’s so little used that VTrans wants to sell it to a woodpellet manufacturer that would use it as a log yard and create 160 new jobs. Island Pond, a remote hamlet of 1300 people, lost its largest employer when Ethan Allen closed its furniture factory there in 2001. Today the town has 11 percent unemployment; some residents commute up to an hour each way for jobs. Fewer than four planes use the football-fieldsized airport each week, and in winter it all but shuts down; only planes equipped with skis can land there. The airport’s contribution to the state’s economy, about $53,000, is by far the lowest of any state-owned airport. Recognizing the need for jobs, Island Pond residents cast a nonbinding vote on Town Meeting Day in favor of selling the airport. Many expressed reservations about losing a facility that’s been around for decades, but the promise of employment won out. MATThEw ThoRsEn

money from pilots who park their planes in hangars and on the tarmac. Whitcomb says that private planes start at around $40,000 for a single-engine aircraft, and that well-heeled tourists and corporate executives make liberal use of the airport. But he disputes the notion that the airport only benefits the wealthy. “Stowe [airport] brings in a lot of tourists and a lot of people. That’s part of why people have jobs in the area,” Whitcomb says. “Everyone in Morrisville works in Stowe.” At the Statehouse, views on the future of small airports are mixed. Rep. Patrick Brennan (R-Colchester), chairman of the House Committee on Transportation, tells Seven Days the airports are a “backburner” issue to him. Repaving roads and replacing the Lake Champlain Bridge take priority on the to-do list. The chairman of the Senate Committee on Transportation, Sen. Dick Mazza (D-Grand Isle), however, says his patience for money-losing airports is running thin. “This has to come to an end sooner or later,” says Mazza. “I think we’ve got to get to the point where they break even or make some money here somehow.” Mazza remembers fighting Howard Dean when the former governor proposed closing Vermont’s state-owned airports a decade ago. Today, Mazza says he’s shocked at the deficits airports are running and is no longer convinced the state should maintain sole ownership of them. Mazza is less troubled, however, about homeowners such as the Damons who are losing property to growing airports. He suggests they knew what they were getting into. “If it’s going to expand to help the community or industry, I Andrew Gergely mean, we’ve got to do it,” Mazza says. “The airport’s been there. It’s not like a brand-new airport. People who locate next to an airport ... it might possibly expand some day.”

regional airports, and the businesses that crop up around them, matter. Their neighbor, 83-year-old Andrew Gergely, built his Morrisville home where it is because it was near the airport. A pilot, Gergely used his own Piper Cherokee 140 for business and pleasure and for a time commuted to New Jersey for a job. He built his house 20 degrees off the runway approach, he says, because he knew it would be out of the traffic pattern. Now that traffic pattern is changing — and Gergely’s 10-acre property with it. Like the Damons, Gergely is losing trees, and he’s fighting the acquisition company for a better price. He won’t specify how much, other than to say it’s dramatically less that what he believes the trees are worth. Gergely’s problem with the MorrisvilleStowe project is that it’s “totally unnecessary,” he says. “There’s no commercial value to it other than to a few rich guys out of Stowe and a few people who want to capitalize on commercialization of the area.”

Happiness Is… A new Vermont nonprofit wants to replace GDP with GNH B Y AND Y Br o mA g E

inda Wheatley can list many reasons why gross domestic product is an inadequate measure of economic progress, but instead she offers this simple illustration: “You could tear up that road outside, repave it, tear it up again and repave it again, and that would contribute to GDP,” Wheatley says during an interview at a Burlington coffee shop. “But it wouldn’t do anything for measuring ‘progress.’” Seated beside her, Chris Wood notes a few more shortcomings of GDP as an indicator. “Hurricanes, wars — it all contributes

to GDP,” he says. “GDP doesn’t measure damage to the environment, doesn’t measure volunteerism, doesn’t measure strength of communities.” And it doesn’t measure a nation’s quality of life or overall well-being. That’s why Wheatley, Wood and a handful of Vermont activists are promoting “gross national happiness,” or GNH, as an alternative to the consume-andspend formula that fuels GDP. The concept has its roots in Bhutan. When that country’s fourth king, Jigme Singye Wangchuck, took the throne in 1972, the story goes, a reporter asked him what he intended to do about

physical health, use of time, education, culture and standard of living, and uses those indicators to guide public policy making. Vermont may be uniquely suited for the experiment. “We have access to politicians,” says Wood, a longtime central Vermont activist. “We appreciate our environment. We tend to be small and happy in many things.” Wheatley thinks GNH would have expedited one of the most contentious12v-Petesgrns042810.indd legislative debates of the past few years. “If happiness was a centerpiece of our policy making, Vermont Yankee would have gone much more quickly,” says Wheatley, a former staffer at the Snelling Center for Government whose interest in GNH was piqued after she attended the 2008 4th International Conference on Gross National Happiness in Bhutan. The term “gross national happiness” may sound a little touchy-feely, and GNHUSA’s founders admit it might not go over well in certain crowds. “There is some reaction to GNH because it’s sort of like an optimistic flaky idea that could come from hippies,” says Wood. But the founders believe the negative effects of the recession — particularly unemployment — could make people receptive to the idea of alternative economic indicators. Since forming GNHUSA last September, Wheatley, Wood and Barefoot, president of Universal Micro Systems in Waitsfield, have talked up the concept to progressive local businesses, such as Seventh Generation, Green Mountain Coffee Roasters and NRG Systems. Wheatley acknowledges that a lot of Vermont companies are already “ahead of the curve” when it comes to improving the quality of life of their workers. But Wood makes a distinction between the phenomenon of forward-thinking businesses treating their workers well and a larger-scale change in the way the country measures success. “The garden-variety

development. The king reportedly replied, in so many words, “We don’t care about stuff. We don’t want gross domestic product. We want gross national happiness.” In 2008, the Buddhist kingdom made that its official national index. Vermont’s a long way from Bhutan, but Wheatley, Wood and Tom Barefoot have formed a local nonprofit, Gross National Happiness American Project (GNHUSA), that is hosting the firstever GNH conference on U.S. soil, from June 1 to 3 at Champlain College. Titled “Changing What We Measure from Wealth to Well-Being,” the conference will feature GNH leaders from around the world, including Bhutan and Brazil. “Our excessive focus on wealth, measured by GDP, is leading all of us and indeed our planet straight over a cliff,” reads the mission statement on GNHUSA’s website. The group wants to change how the state and nation think about economic progress and collective well-being, using Vermont as a laboratory for trial and experiment. Whereas GDP measures the total economic throughput of a country — goods and services traded for money — gross national happiness measures indicators such as psychological well-being,

progressive listening to ‘Marketplace’ on NPR will hear, ‘Consumption is up’” and not get a balanced picture of national economic welfare, he says. GDP measures the value of transactions on a nation’s balance sheet. By that definition, crime, sickness and war all count as “positive” drivers of economic activity. Even divorce lands in the plus column, says Robert Costanza, director of the University of Vermont’s Gund Institute for Ecological Economics. “Divorce is expensive,” Costanza says. “From a GDP perspective, that’s a good thing because you need lawyers to do this. You need two households as opposed to one. So you’re doubling the rate of consumption.” Costanza has spent years studying alternative economic indicators and will be one of several featured speakers at the GNH conference in June. GDP doesn’t calculate societal “costs” of pollution, poor health and homelessness. That’s why Costanza likes the idea of the genuine progress indicator, or GPI, because it deducts the values of activities that negatively impact overall welfare, such the breakdown of the family. GDP isn’t inherently bad, Costanza says. It measures what it measures — total economic throughput, without regard to whether that spending helps or harms society. What concerns Costanza is that GDP has become the gold standard for assessing economic progress and welfare. Other alternative economic indicators being debated in academic circles include the wonkysounding measure of economic welfare, the index of sustainable welfare and the sustainable net benefits index. By comparison, gross national happiness has a friendly, pedestrian ring to it. But the term itself caused some concern among a group of Burlington-area business and nonprofit leaders during a recent GNHUSA strategy meeting at

Main Street Landing. “Happiness” — a subjective concept if there ever was one — may not even be the right word, the group said. “You talk about gross national happiness at the legislature, and they look at you like you’re nuts,” said Nancy Lynch, executive director of the Peace & Justice Center. Doug Hoffer, an independent policy analyst and self-described “data guy,” warned of another roadblock. Until basic human needs are met — for nutrition, housing and health care — higher levels of happiness will be pie in the sky. His point was not lost on the accomplished group: Try telling the have-nots they don’t need money or material comforts to be happy. Vermonters may already register higher on the happiness meter than other people. In 2004, Costanza and other researchers at UVM released a study that estimated genuine progress indicators for Vermont, Chittenden County and Burlington.The study managed to show scientifically what surveys have been saying for years: Vermonters in general, and Burlingtonians in particular, enjoy a higher quality of life when measured as economic welfare. Vermont’s GPI has been double the national average since 1980, Costanza found, thanks largely to the protection of natural resources. The challenge will be moving the “happiness” concept beyond Vermont’s borders. “The shift we’re talking about is so radical,” Wheatley says. Going back to Wood’s example of the national picture presented on NPR’s “Marketplace,” she imagines what might happen if the host followed the standard “Let’s do the numbers” with information about “income disparity or something that taps people a little bit more.” m

he Epidemic Intelligence Service is surely the most effective governmental organization you’ve never heard of. Employing only about 3000 people between its creation in 1951 and today, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention service-and-training program has performed an impressive number of feats on behalf of public health. Know why there’s no mercury in your latex house paint? An EIS officer advised the Environmental Protection Agency to ban it in 1989 after a Michigan toddler died. Remember when it became clear that AIDS could be contracted via blood transfusion? A cadre of EIS officers made that discovery. The EIS is the reason we do not give aspirin to sick children. It’s why women seeking to get pregnant know to increase their folic acid intake. And the list goes on. In Inside the Outbreaks, Colchester author Mark Pendergrast documents a large number of these epidemiological breakthroughs from the last 59 years. Surprisingly, he’s the first to do so. (Two previous accounts of the EIS focus on specific periods during the organization’s lifetime.) In this work based on interviews with 500 EIS alums and seven years of research, Pendergrast expertly summarizes hundreds of cases — mostly the successful ones, he admits in an intro — in roughly chronological fashion. Letting the cases speak for themselves, he creates an extended argument for the value of

He will sign books at Barnes & Noble in South Burlington on Thursday, May 6, at 7 p.m. and at the Dartmouth Bookstore in Hanover, N.H., on Tuesday, May 11, at 6 p.m. More author appearances are listed on his website, markpendergrast.com.

spending public money on public health. The book, Pendergrast’s fifth nonfiction work, couldn’t be more timely. Or inspiring. The book’s cartoonpanel cover, featuring Cary Grant lookalikes, one flourishing a test tube and the other sprinting toward fallen patients, turns out to be more than a marketing ploy. EIS officers are responsible for some heroic public-health milestones. Teaming up with the World Health Organization and other key parties, they helped to eliminate smallpox from the face of the planet. They devised oral rehydration therapy, a simple but revolutionary replenishing liquid that keeps cholera patients alive. They helped stem the second flu pandemic, in 1957. (The

Many of these seminal undertakings occurred under the leadership of EIS founder and epidemiologist Alexander Langmuir, whose directorship until 1970 provides the first of Pendergrast’s three historical sections. The only individual in the book given character description beyond a tagline or two, Langmuir was a domineering sort who sought results. He received permission to form the EIS because the U.S. military had just had its first biological-warfare scare: Hundreds of soldiers in Korea were mysteriously dying of burst blood vessels. (Korean hemorrhagic fever, it turns out, was caused by a virus spread, Pendergrast writes in a succinct footnote, “by rodents, not Communists.”) Langmuir found ready recruits for his quick-response team among young male doctors trying to avoid the draft. He called his recruits his “boys,” finding

little reason to hire women. At the same time, he was staunchly in favor of abortion rights, and sent one pro-life officer on a tour of the poorest sections of the world before assigning him, newly enlightened, to serve the organization’s customary two-year stint. Over the years, nurses and veterinarians were brought on board, and EIS officers today have backgrounds in everything from sociology to law. More than half are women. EIS officers operate like on-call detectives, responding to disease outbreaks singly or in small groups on a day’s or week’s notice. Trying to determine the source of an outbreak, they work around the clock crawling through air-conditioning ducts, studying recent weather patterns, or surveying affected groups about their pets or water sources. In one 1967 case in which hospitalized infants were dying, agents dismantled and tested everything in the facility from the attic to the basement,

where they found launderers using a toxic whitening agent. More recently, Pendergrast himself accompanied three EIS officers on missions to Niger and Kenya, where they tracked insecticide-treated bed-net use and a DIY water-purification program. Pendergrast notes that, while the EIS has no regulatory power, its director can threaten a media stink. One EIS officer enlisted Ralph Nader to write an exposé of lung disease in cotton-mill workers in the late 1960s, a measure that forced the industry to change its dust-control standards. The EIS has also endured its own occasional savaging by the media, documented intermittently in the last two of Pendergrast’s three sections (1970 to 1982 and ’82 to present), which has led to political fallout and slashed funds. Mostly, though, the organization has flown under the radar. Readers alert to contemporary public health concerns will find some interesting history in these pages. Who knew that objection to mass vaccination dates back at least to 1964, when Colorado physician Henry Kempe spoke out against routine smallpox immunizations because he believed that “potential adverse effects were not worth the risk”? (The EIS officer on the case was “distressed” at Kempe’s “flawed, inflated figures,” Pendergrast writes.) Similarly, the push for chlorinated water dates from 1965, when a strain of Salmonella in the well-water supply of Riverside, Calif., caused a diarrhea epidemic in 20 percent of its residents, killing three.

EIS officer Mike St. Louis was dubbed the “eternal freshman” for his unquenchable enthusiasm. His primary work was to explore why Salmonella enteritidis epidemics kept occurring, particularly in the northeastern United States. In June 1986 St. Louis investigated a multistate S. enteritidis outbreak associated with frozen lasagna, jumbo stuffed pasta shells, manicotti and ravioli made by Rotanelli Foods at a production plant in New Rochelle, New York. St. Louis traced the problem to raw eggs in the cheese stuffing. The products were labeled “Fully cooked. Just heat and serve,” but many people did not heat the food sufficiently to kill bacteria. The company subsequently changed the label and switched to pasteurized liquid eggs. By the spring of 1987 the CDC had been alerted to sixty-five S. enteritidis outbreaks in the northeast in the prior two years, most traceable to raw or inadequately cooked grade A eggs. St. Louis looked back at the 1973-1984 register of Salmonella outbreaks, searching for egg ingredients. He compiled impressive statistics linking S. enteritidis with eggs. EIS officers had made the eggSalmonella link twenty-five years before, but past outbreaks had been traced to fecal contamination of cracked or soiled eggs. The modern Rotanelli plant had purchased unblemished large white eggs and then disinfected their exteriors. St. Louis buried himself in poultry research and found a 1944 article in the British Medical Journal stating that S. enteritidis could persist in the ovaries of chickens. Could the hens actually be depositing bacteria inside the intact eggs they laid? He published the suggestion in the Journal of the American Medical Association, raising a storm of protest from the egg industry. Illinois-based EIS officer Sue Trock incubated whole eggs from an implicated farm, washed and flame-sterilized them, then cracked and cultured them. She found an abundance of S. enteritidis. Until then, eggs had been considered perfectly packaged natural products requiring no refrigeration. Illinois was the first state to demand chilled eggs (to prevent bacterial proliferation), even in transport, and the FDA soon followed suit.

Some of the EIS’ more long-term efforts would have been better served by dedicated narratives than by Pendergrast’s one- or two-page case summaries. The EIS has been tackling polio and malaria for decades. To follow the thread of the organization’s efforts in either arena, one has to turn to the index for a list of related cases scattered throughout the book. In fact, a unifying narrative is the one thing missing from Inside the Outbreaks. Pendergrast’s strict adherence to an episodic, case-by-case format means that overarching concerns — such as how the EIS fared under successive leaders or presidential administrations, how it has interacted with pharmaceutical companies, and how often its recommendations have been implemented — are addressed sporadically. As for an inside view of this elite public health corps, Pendergrast mentions only its tradition of self-mockery in annual skits and cartoon-adorned diplomas. Without a character-driven narrative, the reader is left wondering what the culture of this largely unknown organization is like and how it has evolved. But, the EIS’ modus operandi of vaulting anywhere on the planet on short notice for a different cause each time does not lend itself easily to a single narrative (though it would make a great “CSI”-type television show). Pendergrast is more interested in the heroic exploits of individual officers. His book thus performs a double service. The compilation of case histories shows indisputably that it’s far more cost effective to pay the government to stem public health problems at the source than to rely on the private sector to treat the dozens — or millions — of people who would otherwise fall sick. Investing in public health, in other words, pays. And, by documenting in spare language and without fanfare the real-life heroism of hundreds of public health detectives, Inside the Outbreaks may well leave even the most adamant Tea Party member swelling with pride in our government. m

it “way too easy.” Papa Wolf recounts terrible sagas of his abusive, alcoholic father so regularly that his son can recite them verbatim. Act I explores the volatile family backstory; Act II traces the extended decline of Frank’s health. As Dad duels with the indignities of dementia, physical decay and confinement to a nursing home, Randy travels to visit him. Frank’s feisty caretaker, Nurse Betty, becomes a source of support for both men. But everyone is ultimately helpless to change the inevitable outcome. As Frank, Nuner creates a magnificent portrait of a deeply conflicted man.

When the father badgers, baits and lectures his son, the cigar smoker’s gruff voice matches his brusque, confrontational manner. But an unhealthy nervous energy pulses beneath the confident demeanor.

any of us eventually face caring for elderly parents, and it can be a mixed blessing: On the one hand is an adult child’s gratitude for the long life of Mom or Dad; on the other, a cascade of often devastating medical and financial problems. The realities of aging rarely reflect the serene image of the “golden sunset” years. Wolcott poet and playwright David Budbill’s new play, A Song for My Father, examines how a son and his increasingly infirm dad wrestle with these challenges. The author’s own experiences with his father, who died in 1999 at age 93, provided the initial inspiration for the moving story. The world-premiere production at Montpelier’s Lost Nation Theater showcases terrific work from a harmonious quartet of Vermont actors. The highlight is Robert Nuner’s stellar performance as Frank, the father who is a seething Eyjafjallajökull of emotion. Budbill is best known for Judevine (1984), which brilliantly brings to life the residents of a fictional, hardscrabble town in northern Vermont. A Song for My Father concentrates on illuminating one complex character: Frank Wolf, who shares many biographical details with Budbill’s dad. Both were born in Cleveland in 1905, left school in seventh grade to work and eventually drove streetcars for a living. Like the younger Budbill, fictional son Randy Wolf earns advanced degrees and moves to Vermont to become — yep — a writer. Randy, played by John D. Alexander, narrates the two-hour tale as a loose series of memories, which relive important family scenes. The flashbacks focus on the rocky father-son relationship, but also include key women in Frank’s life. All the characters serve as foils that reveal aspects of Frank’s personality. Frank vacillates between pride in Randy and resentment that his son had

n Portland, Ore., people peddle cookies, coffee, pizza and ice cream ... using pedals. Grocery stores and farms deliver food on bikes. The progressive Pacific Northwest city even has a rolling bicycle brewery. In Burlington, we have none of these. But that hasn’t stopped Mark Bromley from pushing ahead with One Revolution, a bicycle-based pickup and delivery service. Starting in June, Bromley, a 55-yearold architect, and his four-person crew will be pedaling produce around for local farms and shuttling baked goods for area bakeries. Burlington is no stranger to intrepid bike-trepreneurs with designs for pedalpowered businesses. But two things typically scuttle their efforts: hills and weather. Bromley isn’t worried about either. In addition to Portland, he says, several cities with challenging terrain or dodgy climate have been able to sustain bike delivery businesses, including Chicago, Boston and Northampton, Mass. Before they wrote a business plan for One Revolution or invested in specialized bikes, Bromley and his two children, Sam, 23, and Anna, 21, took research trips to cities with successful bike delivery companies. Over the winter, he approached local businesses about his idea. “The response has been really encouraging,” Bromley says. Soon the crew will start delivering CSA shares for Jericho Settlers’ Farm and breakfast and lunch items for On the Rise Bakery in Richmond. Bromley is working out a partnership with the Intervale Food Hub, which currently delivers 300-plus farm shares by van to 25 corporate clients such as Fletcher Allen Health Care, Dealer. com, Champlain College and JDK Design. A number of other establishments have expressed interest in One Revolution’s services but have yet to sign formal contracts, Bromley says. Entrusting part of their business to an untested entity such as One Revolution is hard. “Part of the battle is, it’s a different thing,” Bromley says. The idea of a bicycle delivery service with regularly scheduled pickups and dropoffs has been percolating in Bromley’s mind for years. The Cabot man is an enthusiastic proponent of bike touring — he and Anna

rode across the country on recumbent bikes four years ago — and has always been intrigued by two-wheeled enterprises. Once Bromley did his research and determined the business’ viability, there was the matter of getting the bikes. The One Revolution fleet is composed of two handmade cargo bikes and two regular bikes towing custom flatbed trailers.

what needs moving. The bike will haul 500 pounds and features an electric-assist motor to help with the hills. The other cargo bike, from Philadelphia frame builder Bilenky Cycle Works, has a small front wheel with a large basket perched on top. All of Bromley’s bicycles will be outfitted with signs listing his clients — advertising that he hopes will help attract more businesses. Another draw: Bromley contends that bikes can often move across the city faster than cars can, even when loaded with hundreds of pounds of cargo. Plus, he reasons,

food bike delivery contributes to a healthier environment, albeit in a minor way. “I hope that we’re doing something — one super small revolution — in developing a better way of moving stuff about that will be of benefit to us and our community,” he says. Ben Bush, co-owner of On the Rise Bakery, sees the partnership with One Revolution in pragmatic terms. “It’s another way for us to get our baked goods out,” he says. Specifically, Bush says he expects to use One Revolution to help the bakery respond to special orders: Customers can place orders online for birthday cakes or sandwiches for a lunch meeting, and Bromley’s crew will deliver them the next day. Since On the Rise already has a number of wholesale accounts in Burlington, the bakery’s drivers will drop off the special order at One Revolution’s Old North End dispatch office and go about their deliveries. Despite its Richmond location, On the Rise has slowly been making inroads into the Queen City market. One Revolution offers another way for the business to “connect to that crowd,” Bush says. The Intervale Food Hub has not yet signed a formal contract with One Revolution but is keen to distribute its farm shares in a more environmentally conscious way, says Sona Desai, who manages the program. But she has concerns about the quality of produce after it’s spent a few hours on a cargo bike. So Desai and Bromley are developing an enclosure system with enough ventilation to prevent wilting during the delivery process. The enclosure will also have to be sturdy enough to keep fruits and vegetables from bouncing around. Desai says that for her clients, most of whom are new to the CSA model, the look of the produce is paramount; bruised fruit won’t cut it. “Service is so key there,” she says. “They’re expecting something that looks like it came from Shaw’s.” After crunching the numbers, Desai worked out that it might cost the Intervale slightly more to hire One Revolution than the program currently spends on deliveries. (Because they don’t have a formal agreement, Desai declines to reveal a figure.) But the benefits — marketing and advertising, sustainability and supporting a community endeavor — would be worth the increased cost, she says.

For years, Hardie’s other venture, honEy GArDEns wInEry in Ferrisburgh, has been making mead. Its honey wine was originally crafted at Shelburne’s Bostwick Farm under the watchful eye of mead master JAKE FElDmAn. Last year, Matthews, who’d been making wine at home for 20 years, took over Feldman’s role. When the Shelburne barn Matthews and Hardie were renting became unavailable, they looked to the Northeast Kingdom for a larger space. Matthews says that the community of food producers in Hardwick welcomed them with open arms. “Everyone just bent over backward to make this happen,” she adds. The small factory shares lakefront property with a log yard, the cedar aroma of which Matthews believes is good for the “terroir” of her wines. She expects Honey Gardens’ tried-and-true meads — including a blueberry variety — to be ready soon. Todd and Charlotte Hardie A long-awaited elderberry version should be available by Christmas. The bigger news, however, may be the distillery — one of just five in the state. Matthews was legally barred from even attempting a mash until Caledonia Spirits’ license arrived. Since then, she has begun work on a “neutral grain spirit,” which will serve as a base for gin and an herbal liqueur. She and Hardie are playing with a Vermont take on Chartreuse — a French, monk-made concoction boasting 130 ingredients — using locally grown herbs and spices. One traditional inclusion that won’t be on the list: anise, which both partners dislike. Matthews would like to make Caledonia Spirits available to the Vermont public by the end of the year. “We’re hoping that we’ll be blessed and come up with a great recipe soon,” she says. “I think we have a couple of home runs in development.”

the restaurant business long enough to know that downtown Essex Junction caters to “that $10 to $12 crowd,” she says. So when AJ’s KItChEn moved to Railroad Avenue, leaving an empty space on nearby Main Street, Ovitt responded by offering cozy, affordable comfort food at the newly opened EssEx GrIll. Breakfast begins at 6 a.m., and dinner is served until 9 p.m. Ovitt’s goal is to give the community something fresh — literally. The interior, which formerly resembled a diner, has been painted a soothing sea green. Photos of Ovitt’s dogs, as well as her friends and family, decorate the walls. Ovitt calls herself “a ridiculous animal lover,” but she says that her canine theme is under control: “I didn’t want to go over-the-top quirky and have people eating out of dog bowls,” she jokes. What will chowhounds be tucking into? Ovitt has applied for vErmont FrEsh nEtworK status, and local names such as shADow Cross FArm, BoyDEn FArm and wooD CrEEK FArm are already on the menu. Ovitt recommends Essex Grill’s hand-battered fish and chips, but she’s particularly keen on the grass-fed burger. It’s available in several styles, from a ham, scallion and pineapple-topped Hawaiian to the Cajun-spiced Zoe Burger with bacon, sautéed onions, blue cheese crumbles and dressing. Don’t eat red meat, but want a taste? Turkey and black bean patties are also available.

Vietnamese trend is still going strong in Greater Burlington. Last week, the space on Winooski’s Main Street formerly occupied by 38 Main Street Pub got a new sign: A cheerful yellow paper window covering declares that Pho PAstEur will be a “Vietnamese noodle [shop] and grill.” Though restaurants by that name exist in Boston and Montréal, sources believe the Winooski café is locally owned and not a chain. The owners could not be reached for comment. File: matthew thOrsen

hen most diners hear a whole pig will be for dinner, a spit-roasted beast with an apple in its mouth comes to mind. Delicate salads and desserts containing mammal parts are in the minority on meaty menus, but those are just what filled plates at Chef’s Table in Montpelier last Friday. The six-course dinner, priced at $35 a head, was prepared entirely by students from the New England Culinary Institute’s chapter of Slow Food. The proceeds from the hearty meal will help send the students to the 2010 Terra Madre conference in Torino, Italy, in October. The biennial international meeting is a sort of Olympics of the Slow Food movement, minus the competitive aspect — and, appropriately, will happen in facilities from the 2006 Winter Games. Chefs, food producers and students will gather to share their skills in hopes of creating more sustainable food communities. According

to Jeff Roberts, a director and treasurer of the national Slow Food USA board of directors, NECI sent the largest individual delegation to the last Terra Madre. This year, when the event focuses on sustainability in academics, he hopes Vermont will repeat the feat. Roberts shared this thought after happily digging into a collection of studentmade charcuterie. He was particularly enchanted with the headcheese, pieces from top and tail that ranged from the tender corkscrew to the cartilaginous ear, all held together with natural gelatin and fresh parsley. Other selections included smoky loin, German Thuringer sausage

and creamy rillettes, complemented by a selection of house-made mustards. Many of the small bites came from a pig grown by NECI Executive Chef Tom Bivins and his partner, Bennett Law, on their Bethel farm. The rest was from a pig brought from idyllic Sugar Mountain Farm in West Topsham. Before the courses listed on the menu began, an amuse-bouche of rice and beans with chicken-fried ham and thinly sliced local raw ramp soffered a scrumptious taste of the South. The communal tables buzzed with delight as cress and sedum salad was placed in front of diners, studded with daylilies cut to resemble almond slices and chunks of jowl bacon, with a huge, crispy round of pork cracklin’ on top. The general consensus among my tablemates, including Roberts, Law and Bivins’ mother (visiting from Mississippi), was that the most pleasing dish was a long plate of Swedish potato dumplings stuffed with juniper-braised pork. I imagined gnocchi. Instead, the dish bore a strong resemblance to cha siu bao, though the potato dough was far heavier than the Chinese wheat version. The braised pork therein made a decadent combination with a thick cream sauce, flavored with tiny onions and preserved whole cranberries. Dessert also included hog hunks, though they had been rendered into lard biscuits, served as part of a rhubarb and wild-ginger cobbler with frozen custard on the side. Following the final course, the seven student cooks visited the dining room to introduce themselves and surprise guests with a gift bag. The meatfabrication class had frozen individual portions of house-made sausage. A lard biscuit also went home with each guest, along with a single egg tied with a twine bow from Moonlit Meadows, an Icelandic sheep farm in Cavendish. Next month, the Slow Food chapter will present “Hens in the Hay: Celebrating the Life of a Chicken — Egg to Stewing Hen.” Given the delicious value of the pork dinner, I’d cry foul if I had to miss it. m The next NECI Slow Food dinner takes place on Saturday, May 22, at 6:30 p.m., at Chef’s Table, Montpelier.

How did your family eat when you were growing up? I grew up in South Florida, outside of Fort Lauderdale. We ate well and ate at the table every night, but it was never high end. We had fish sticks at home, but we went out for stone crab, and really great fruits were a big deal. I feel like we did better than most people.

I like the vibe. And the past couple of River Cottage cookbooks. With those three together, I could probably rule the world. When somebody says Larousse [Gastronomique], I’m like, “Really?

ew Vermont restaurants have garnered as much national attention as Hen of the Wood at the Grist Mill in Waterbury. Writers for the New York Times, Food & Wine magazine and the now-defunct Gourmet have waxed eloquent about both the restaurant and its young chef-owner, Eric Warnstedt. For two years running, Warnstedt has been a semifinalist for the James Beard Foundation’s “Best Chef Northeast” award. We wanted to know how he feels about long hours, Vermont wines, anonymous restaurant critics and other issues. So we put him on the grill.

food Force of Nature « p.45 Name a local restaurant that you patronize. I don’t want to leave anybody out. I tend to stay in my area and go to The Alchemist [Pub and Brewery] and The Green Cup. The Kitchen Table [Bistro] is about as far as I go most of the time. [The owners of those restaurants] are some of my best friends. I’d like to go to Michael’s on the Hill more. What’s your favorite beverage? I really like a good latte, and I drink wine more than I drink beer, unless I’m at The Alchemist. Lately, lean, crisp white wine is what I’m leaning toward. I’ve been drinking a lot of Austrian riesling, and it’s definitely one of my new favorite things. What’s great is the dryness of them. What kind of music do you like to listen to in the kitchen? We have a pretty enormous iPod. It has everything from random cheesy stuff to the most crazy, out-there jazz you can imagine. If you weren’t a chef, what would your job be? If time and money and space were no concern? Probably a marine biologist, or something like that. can you describe your eating habits? I don’t eat “healthy,” but I don’t eat a lot of [ junk food], either. I have a good amount of sweets at the restaurant, and I think my fat intake is more than it should be. I find myself eating enough calories throughout the day without sitting down and having a meal. There’s been all this play with animal livers and things cooked in fat and then fried, like headcheese croquettes. They don’t sell very well, but we eat them. How do you feel about anonymous restaurant reviews? They should be constructive and should help businesses out. For people to go on [the Internet] late at night and rip people apart does nobody any good. I was disappointed when Bluebird Tavern opened with a really talented team, and they had to wake up every morning and read all that crap about [themselves]. In a region that’s so small, I think it might have a detrimental effect on businesses to have to fight for it right off the bat. People should give them a little more time. If we professionals read something that we don’t think is true, we can laugh it off and sort of make fun of [the writers], but [citizen critics] can have a significant impact on a restaurant. Any personal experiences with critics you want to share? There’s a person [on the 7 Nights website] who came in here and said the soup would be better if it had a lone basil leaf on top.

And she said that our gnocchi made her long for the gnudi at The Spotted Pig in New York. They’re completely different things. That’s like saying, “This chocolate bar makes me want an apple.” I drink out of a glass Saratoga water bottle at work. And another woman said she saw the chef drinking out of a bottle of wine while he was cooking. Which kinds of Vermont ingredients just aren’t as good as their counterparts from farther away? I think wine is the big one, although there’s some really good stuff going on [at Vermont vineyards]. We’ve gone from a handful of decent/mediocre wines to a handful of decent/mediocre wines plus a handful of tasty stuff. For what we have to work with here, it’s pretty outstanding.

We’re an expensive place, and people don’t come here often, so

being able to put a face to a name is very important. that’s half the reason i Work in vermont.

Er I c WA r N S t ED t, c HEf - o WN Er , H EN o f t HE Wo o D At t HE G r I S t m I l l

The cult of personality around chefs has been growing nationwide — and in Vermont. Is that good or bad? Anything that brings food to the forefront is a positive thing. How do you make sure the restaurant runs smoothly on your nights off? One of the challenges in this region is finding a professional kitchen staff — there are only a few restaurants in the area that have that — but I have a small, awesome staff. Starting about a year ago, I’ve actually been able to not be here every night. But I assure you, if you don’t see me there that night, I was there earlier in the day. How do you like having an open kitchen? I love it, especially being a small business owner. We’re an expensive place, and people don’t come here often, so being able to put a face to a name is very important. That’s half the reason I work in Vermont. And anyway, once the restaurant has people in it and the music’s on, even though we’re right there, who knows what we could be doing?

You use great ingredients and great technique, but your plates are fairly simple. Why? The restaurant has a small, antiquated kitchen, so if we want to have a menu that has more than four options, it has to stay simple. From a personal standpoint, the longer I cook, the more I want something simple on the plate. It’s what I’m looking for and what the restaurant allows. If the kitchen was bigger, we’d tweak things to be a little more unique, but there are other people out there who can rewrite the book on how to cook food. I’m more concerned with the Earth and the environment than with haute cuisine. I know you were hoping to open a restaurant in chittenden county. Is that still an option? We’ve had a lot of really nice people wanting to help us out, but nothing has clicked perfectly. There’s currently a project we’re hoping to work on in this area. The longer I’m in Waterbury, the more I’m looking to stay in this region and hope that people travel to us. It seems right that I live and work in the same place … Unless the guys at Redstone want to help us out with the armory building [on Main Street in Burlington].

Are you raising your daughter to be a foodie? I’d like her to have a really strong respect for where food comes from, and for the natural world. She’s 2 and a half and she does really well: She loves cheese and crêpes and all kinds of other good stuff. She loves salami. But I’m afraid when she grows up she’ll just want chicken wings and cheap beer after being surrounded by our elitist crap. Is it tough to be a chef and a family man? My work hours are longer than average. The first few years, it was 12 to 15 hours a day, six days a week. Now it’s typical hard restaurant work — acceptable and livable. A few days off a week is a lifesaver. Other restaurants here are seeing that it’s the way to go. The best thing is for everybody to have two days off in a row: We shouldn’t have to be martyrs for the food industry. A lot of my friends have heard me whine and complain, but I don’t think I could ever go work for somebody else again. We eat and drink like kings, we have a subculture of people who respect each other, and the hard work is made up for during the high times. I couldn’t ask for really anything more. m

SEVEN DAYS: A lot of bands take inﬂuence from where they are from. But Chicago seems genuinely intrinsic to JC Brooks & the Uptown Sound.

4/23/10 3:54:00 PM

JC BROOKS: To a certain degree. We’re definitely influenced by where we are. But I also think that we bring influences from what we like. I don’t think my influence on the band is specifically Jersey, just because I’m from Jersey. So the location … well, I might get hell for saying this, but it’s just a marketing tool. SD: Well, that’s honest. JCB: I mean, I don’t think it matters where we’re from. If we had the same life experiences but met up in San Diego, we’d still be making pretty much the same music. SD: I guess I was thinking of the great history of soul music in Chicago. So it’s sorta perfect for a good soul revival band to come out of Chicago… JCB: Absolutely. There’s the marketing tool. Chicago’s history helps. But, say we were in Philly, someone would be asking the same question with a Philly shading. There is a lot of good soul that’s come out of Philly. Or Memphis. Or Detroit. But I’m just speaking for myself. I know I would get some opposition from the other guys in the band.

SD: Ray Charles defined soul as “people who do things from the heart.” How would you define soul? JCB: It’s close to that. I think there is definitely a racial sensibility to it … not to say that whites can’t make soul. I guess it’s more cultural than racial. But it’s something I grew up listening to, so I feel more authority with it. SD: That’s a provocative statement. JCB: Like, in the past 10 years I developed a liking for hip-hop. I had never liked hip-hop or rap at all [before]. But I also wouldn’t feel comfortable going out and rapping. I love that music, but I don’t have the cultural or historical context to rap. So I would define it, soul, as something that comes from who you are. That’s kind of etherealizing it. There are gradations of soul, it’s not always R&B. And this is where we go back to the Ray Charles quote — soul is when what you’re saying can be felt from your ear to heart.

JC Brooks & the Uptown Sound play The Monkey House in Winooski on Wednesday, May 5, at 9 p.m. $8.

cLUB DAtES NA: not avail. AA: all ages. Nc: no cover.

SD: So you’re drawing a distinction between soul and soul music? JCB: Something that comes to mind is Ray LaMontagne’s “Trouble.” I don’t think of Ray LaMontagne as a “soul artist.” But I remember the first time I heard that song, I was like, “Jesus, man.” It made me sit up and play closer attention because it felt like it was coming from a real place.

SD: That’s pretty similar to the way people often define punk. JCB: Absolutely. And that’s part of my background, too. Soul or punk rock is more a mentality than it is a style. SD: How did the cover of “I Am trying to Break Your Heart” come about? JCB: We were just bullshitting in the van on the way back to Chicago. And we were trying to think of a song that we could surprise people with and put our stamp on. We were looking for something that is a great song as it is, but that people who aren’t necessarily in the know might think is an older cover, or is something [other] than what it is. SD: Have Wilco heard it? JCB: I have heard that they’ve heard it and that they like it. But I haven’t, like, shaken Jeff Tweedy’s hand. But that would be a pleasure.

SD: Last question. If, as your song goes, “Baltimore is the new Brooklyn,” what’s the new Baltimore? JCB: Wow! I’ve never really thought about that. Um…

he was a teenager. The six-string prodigy has since moved on to seek his fortune in Brooklyn. While we never like to see our best and brightest homegrown talents leave, we do love it when they come back. And Cassarino’s semiregular homecoming appearances always seem to draw a healthy buzz. This Friday should prove no exception, as the guitarist returns to Nectar’s with his nine-member hip-hop orchestra LiFtED, who have garnered rave reviews following opening slots with the likes of Slick Rick, Brand Nubian and Brother Ali.

Mars Attacks!

SEVEN DAYS

04.28.10-05.05.10

SEVENDAYSvt.com

Good morning, class. Welcome to yet another session of Band Promotions 101. In today’s lecture, we will be discussing the finer points of grassroots PR efforts, including web-based promotions and socialmedia networking. Also, we will specifically focus on an underutilized but nonetheless effective marketing tool. In fact, it may be the greatest marketing tool humankind has ever created: beer. Last week, I was sitting at my desk engaging in my usual music editor-ly activities. These comprise what you might imagine they would: compiling club listings, listening to music, playing Farkle on Facebook, checking my fantasy baseball team, inventing derogatory synonyms for “hippie jam band,” etc. Seemingly out of nowhere — and just as I “farkled” on a 3000-point hand — a sizable cardboard box addressed to me appeared on my desk. It seemed to have materialized out of the ether. The only identifying marks on the box were the words “Mars Pyramid.” Aside from that it was utterly unremarkable, save for its size and weight. Now, as the 7D “music guy,” I’ve received some pretty strange packages from bands and labels trying to stand out from the fray. My favorite example: an out-of-town band whose press kit consisted of — I am not making this up — a rock. It worked. I wrote about them. Although for the life of me I can’t remember who they were. I hope they were good. Anyway, I opened the box to find an introductory letter, three CDs and — here’s

the kicker — a six-pack of beer. Specifically, Chaos Reigns, a home-brewed espresso stout. My favorite Style. Whoever is behind Mars Pyramid clearly understands the most basic marketing lesson there is: Know your audience. Before the utterly humorless among you get all bent out of shape and suggest I could be bought for a mere six-pack of beer, allow me to assuage your fears. That’s wholly absurd. It would take at least a case. Maybe two. Moving on. It turns out that Mars Pyramid is a Burlington-based microlabel helmed by local experimental musician Jay Blanchard, formerly of Burlington label and website Aether Everywhere. According to his letter, the label will release music from a variety of genres within the ever-nebulous family of “experimental” music from around the globe. Its efforts will bleed into other arenas of experimental art as well, including multimedia work and, apparently, microbrewing. Or, as Blanchard puts it, “Music knows no limitations or boundaries, so this label will not shy away from an esoteric approach, either!” Blanchard included MP’s first three releases in the package, and each bears out that philosophy. The first release, Twilight Visions, is, in fact, Blanchard’s own, recorded under the pseudonym VIKOMT. Perhaps you’ve seen the trailer for the upcoming Tron sequel? If not, Google it, ’cuz it looks totally rad. Back to the point, if there are any Disney execs reading this — and the chances are good, since Disney secretly controls the universe — allow me to suggest you hire Vikomt to compose the soundtrack. The stark, mechanical sounds Blanchard wields would be the perfect complement to the film’s desolate electronic aesthetic. And, yes, I recently rewatched Tron for about the 4000th time. The second release, Wormwood Star, comes from Kentucky artist Alma Daaé and is really, really freakin’ creepy. The three tracks here make up a nervewracking collection of inky, ambient drone with subtle hints of industrial mayhem. Blanchard suggests the album should be listened to “with the lights out.” I respectfully disagree. Listen during the day. Noon, ideally. And turn on as many lights as you can. The third release, Tone Cloud, is from Lendway bassist Kevin Lynam. It is, well, pretty much what the title suggests. Clouds of tone. In the liner notes, Lynam

Kevin Lynam

writes that the three-track, 42-minute album represents “the dark and cold months of the winter season in northern Vermont.” He then advises the listener to “enjoy with headphones in a cool, dark place.” And maybe a sweater. Lynam’s record truly does evoke the icy depths of winter. Or at least it would if we still had, you know, real winters. Dark, foreboding tones shift with a chilling hollowness on the opening title cut. By the third track, “Solar Winds (Sister),” listeners may well find themselves disoriented, blinded by the bleak sonic shimmer. Or maybe that was the beer. Actually, Blanchard writes that Mars Pyramid’s beer and music were meant to be experienced together. So there. Plying me with stout wasn’t merely a brilliant marketing move after all. OK, it was. But it was also part of the experience. And one I recommend. Mars Pyramid celebrates its winter catalog with a release party at Radio Bean this Friday. Expect performances from Vikomt and Lynam, as well as a collaboration between the two they’re calling Antaeus. Also on the bill are Aether Everywhere artists Yellowknife and Ghost Weapons. Sadly, I assume Chaos Reigns won’t be available thanks to Vermont’s puritanical blue laws. But I’ll go out on a limb and suggest that a Five Dollar Shake would get the job done just as well.

• Speaking of the magnificent marriage of booze and music, Shelburne Vineyard debuts a new monthly series this week called Acoustic Music in the Loft. The free series happens on the last Thursday of every month and will feature some of Vermont’s better-known up-andcoming songwriting talents including, Jen Crowell (April), Lowell Thompson (May), and Steve Hartmann (June).

• If all that winter talk in the opening bit gave you chills, consider that this issue features our first Discover Jazz Fest spotlight of 2010 (Sonny Rollins, page 55). Spring has sprung. • If you’re a regular reader, you know that I absolutely love it when local bands score opening slots with bigger acts, especially at Higher Ground. Simply put, the exposure is invaluable. This week, the club has outdone itself in lining up local openers. Thursday’s Rubblebucket show in the Ballroom features two Burlington acts (Villanelles and tooth ache.). Saturday, iLL iNTELLEKS warm up the stage for hip-hop hybrid K-OS. Sunday, Lendway support Athens indie sensations The Whigs in the Showcase Lounge, while Rubblebucket make an encore appearance in support of Ozomatli. And that’s to say nothing of Dead Sessions raising the, um, Dead with their own Ballroom show on Friday. If you’re going to any of those shows, get there early and support local music. • Have you seen the video for The Allen Jokers song “Midd Kid”? Since it has nearly 400,000 YouTube hits, I’ll go out on a limb and guess that you have. Or that you’ve at least heard about the video, which deliciously parodies campus life at Vermont’s only Little Ivy. In any event, one of that song’s architects, Sam Robinson, will be performing at 51 Main in — where else? — Middlebury on Wednesday, April 28. He’ll be joined by fellow Midd Kid Ben Stilton. • Last but not least, yet another local literary mag emerges this week as The Salon throws itself a party at Burlington’s Firehouse Gallery on Thursday. The inaugural issue features poetry and fiction contributions from a number of Vermont musicians including Cccome?’s Lee Anderson, Mickey Western and Anaïs Mitchell.m

The Crack Up, Get a Life (SELF-RELEASED, CD, DIGITAL DOWNLOAD)

The Crack Up are a local supergroup of sorts, featuring drummer Peter Negroponte, bassist Robert Stahle, guitarist Matthew Jalbert, guitarist/bandleader Jon Tatelman and keyboardist Daniel Zane Maroti. Unity of Vt, 56 Main St. Essex Jct Individually, they represent some of Call 876-7696 for more info Burlington’s most highly regarded free-form jazz players. But The Crack Up are not a jazz group. Instead, they apply a free-form 16t-unity042810.indd 1 4/22/10 3:29:30 PMcuriosity to folk and rock templates framed by indie-rock sensibilities. The result is a dynamic, challenging and ultimately thrilling exploration of the boundaries of noise and rock, expertly captured on their debut full-length, Get a Life. The album begins with “Spinning Tops, Losing Form.” As a front man, Tatelman resembles a young Eric Bachmann (Crooked Fingers, Archers of Loaf ), delivering poetic barstool melancholia in a gruff drawl. Here he sings, “You broke my heart before we even met, / Stole my ﬂame like a cigarette. / Out of control before we were born, / spinning tops losing form.” Behind him, the band plies alternately jagged and malleable lines as a chugging guitar battles and is Friendly On-site Computer Support eventually subsumed by an airy, nebulous organ. The arrangement is similarly combative and feels intentionally unsettled 16t-rentageek102109.indd 1 10/19/09 6:37:12 PMas a building torrent of sound swirls around bright guitar sustains and winds into a tight spiral. Glancing percussion spurs the gathering storm forward with increasingly breakneck intensity. Then, just at the apex of tension, the song shatters around Tatelman’s anguished howl and wobbles to an uncertain conclusion. Spinning tops, losing form. The artful symmetry between lyric and music continues throughout. Tatelman is not an especially polished writer. But his scattered musings congeal and strengthen on top of his band’s dense soundscapes. On “Swells” he sings, “Well, it’s a thought you’re sticking to / It sticks like an ocean sticks to the sand.” Meanwhile, disjointed guitars ebb and ﬂow behind him, lapping at the listener’s ears in lazy, Pavement-esque fashion. On the peculiar “Lung Dreams,” Tatelman offers this oddity: “If I smoke an egg, could I hatch and pretend I was new?”

The oddly tranquil waltz drifts drowsily along until a berserk guitar freak-out rudely jolts the listener from a somnolent haze. Nels Cline would approve. Throughout Get a Life, The Crack Up seem perpetually on the verge of descending into total chaos. But even in their most strung-out moments, they never really do. That is, until the eight-minute epic “We All Sound the Same,” which closes the album in a screeching ﬁt of bracing sound. It is sublimely disturbing, and a ﬁtting end to a richly rewarding effort. Get a Life by The Crack Up is available at thecrackup.bandcamp.com.

the rhythm guitarist sings in a husky but easy tone. “Pushing harder though we feel true strain. / Wishing you would send us an angel / Imagine joy when you only cry pain,” he continues. Limp, feel-good platitudes concerning rivers, sunshine, rain, fate and frontal lobotomies follow in similarly grating fashion. OK, I made up the lobotomy part, but you get the idea. On the plus side, the tune imparts a seriously slinky groove, as do most of the offerings on Colors. While both McCann brothers make compelling front men, as lyricists they are equally prone to pearls of bumper-sticker wisdom, which, given their immense vocal talents, they can usually get away with. But the band’s instrumental polish and attention to detail in arrangements really lend these tunes some much-needed ballast. Or at least an ass-shakin’ groove. In particular, bassist — and Plainﬁeld native — Dan Bissex is the glue, delivering alternately elegant and muscular lines and displaying an innate

Brothers McCann, Different Colors (SELF-RELEASED, CD)

It would be easy to dismiss Brothers McCann as just another groovy holdover from Boston’s eternally milquetoast acoustic-pop college band scene. Based strictly on surface appeal, that description, unﬂattering as it is, might suffice. But ﬁrst impressions can be deceiving. And digging more deeply into the Beantown quintet’s debut full-length, Different Colors, reveals a collection of mature, sonically rich tunes played by a polished, if insufferably cheery, group of ace musicians. “Still Somebody Else” leads off and offers glimpses of the band’s sunny disposition. Keyboardist and vocalist Pat McCann coos classic soul lines with a silky smooth delivery that owes a heavy debt to Stevie Wonder. Blatantly aping Wonder is borderline sacrilege ... unless you have the chops to pull it off. And Pat McCann (mostly) does. “Roll Down” is next and introduces brother Mike McCann as a songwriter and co-front man. “Jah, we all feel frustration,”

knack for taking over at just the right moments. He epitomizes the band’s striking versatility, whether holding down a bottom heavy funk riff, letting loose on a groovy jam or stretching out with ﬂights of Steely Daninspired jazz-rock whimsy. “Shambles” is a standout and an example of the group’s true potential. Following a soothing string intro, Pat McCann channels his inner Jamiroquai over a humming, retro funk-pop groove. The tune is richly layered, featuring a variety of surprising, dynamic twists and turns. The song undoubtedly will keep listeners on their toes. And, hell, it might even put a spring in their step and a smile on their faces. Catch Brothers McCann at Radio Bean this Friday and at Charlie O’s in Montpelier this Saturday.

My Precious W 29 | TALKS

ith a two-part silver-screen version of The Hobbit by director Guillermo del Toro in the works, rumored for release in late 2011 and 2012, Tolkien devotees may want to brush up on their “Halfling” history — and they can do it by sitting down for Théâtre Sans Fil’s stage version. It’s got a good twist: The Québec troupe pulls off the all-ages adventure story with puppets ... giant ones. Setting the scene for the much darker The Lord of the Rings, Rings, this hobbit fable explains how Bilbo acquired the magic ring on a quest to retrieve a dragon’s treasure hoard. Founded in 1971, the “Theater Without Strings” pluck the characters off the page in a thrilling performance packed with black-light illusions, lasers and a 25-foot-long mythical monster. Enough said. ‘THE HOBBIT’ Tuesday, May 4, 7 p.m., at Flynn MainStage in Burlington. $16-24. Info, 863-5966. www.flynntix.org

The Milky Way A year after taking home an Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay for Milk,, Dustin Lance Black comes to the University of Vermont. The gay rights activist, who’s also worked on “Big Love” and written several feature films, arrives on the heels of such events as “Pink Shirt Tuesdays” and drag bingo with the Sisters LeMay — all part of the campus’ “LGBTQApril.” The monthlong affair “celebrate[s] the achievements of LGBTQ individuals,” says Graduate Assistant for Campus Programs Jimmy Doan, and educates others on the struggles they face. In that same vein, Black will recap his experience penning the 2008 biopic of slain San Francisco City Supervisor Harvey Milk, California’s first openly gay politician —and he’ll draw parallels to his own journey as a gay male. Two “Milk and Cookies” screenings on Wednesday prep listeners for the Thursday talk.

Fresh from a tour through Australia, Virginia-based duo Martha Spencer and Jackson Cunningham will most likely feel right at home nestled in the Green Mountains at this week’s Johnson State College concert. Their band, the Whitetop Mountaineers, is named for their home state’s second-tallest peak, after all. And they’ll serve up a helping of country music so energetic, you may soon be itching to scale a bluff yourself. Quaint harmonies thread through oldtime southern arrangements that stitch together the fiddle, clawhammer banjo, bluegrass mandolin and harmonica. But lively Appalachian dancing really kicks it up a notch. Tune in for just-released songs from the Mountaineers’ 2010 album, Hollers, at Go Away With Me: Music From Virginia’s Hills and Hollers this benefit for the Tom Sustic Scholarship Fund ... and then head for the hills!

In a country where spending more than a third of the day in the workplace is the norm, people sometimes experience a big disconnect between the hours they put in and the results they get. As Parker Palmer, founder of the Center for Courage & Renewal, points out, folks toiling for a higher purpose — in educational and medical fields, for example — often run into institutional roadblocks putting a damper on their efforts. Palmer called it a “tragic gap” between “the reality and the possibility” in an interview on “Bill Moyers Journal” in 2009. He’s explored issues of community, leadership and social change in seven books, including A Hidden Wholeness and The Active Life. Now, the Wisconsin-based author and activist addresses how people can become “agents of creative change” in a talk, “Finding True North: Reclaiming Integrity and Courage in Professional and Public Life.” Onwards and northwards.

Art review: Nancy Taplin

work on paper, “Canopy,” a morass of colors churns beneath a wavy black line. These seem like two views of the earthquake: one an experiential snapshot of being on the shaking ground, the other a vision of the movement of the ground itself as a great, uncontainable, devastating force. “Without a Sound” reads as almost figurative. In it, a human figure seems

ancy Abbott-Hourigan had her eye on Nancy Taplin’s paintings for years. Unfortunately, it was tragedy that finally brought the curator of the Amy E. Tarrant Gallery and the veteran Vermont artist together. The gallery’s current exhibition slot had been scheduled for James McGarrell, but his son’s death in the January 12 earthquake in Haiti put that plan on hold. Taplin was asked to fill in. In her artist’s statement, Taplin writes about her experience standing in the Guggenheim in New York City looking at a Kandinsky painting as the earthquake took place. She cites that famous artist’s quote: “The more frightening the world becomes … the more art becomes abstract.”

Taplin accepted the invitation, and Kandinsky’s words seem to echo through the last few paintings of the series she’d begun in August but completed just before this exhibition. In her show of 16 works, some pieces created in response to the earthquake present its frightening disorientation in coexistence with more quotidian experiences. Other pieces seem purely conceptual. Taplin’s stark, fluid abstractions could be seen as representing both human vulnerability and passion. Her visual vocabulary suits this purpose, as she drapes bold color over white backgrounds in gestural painted ribbons. Taplin’s exhibition includes both large paintings on linen and smaller works on gessoed paper. In both, twisting tendrils of color spiral around each other, sometimes hanging in the white space like unanswered questions. The paintings on linen are worked extravagantly. The artist employs a broad range of techniques — applying paint by brushing or wiping, then thinning it with oil, or scraping and dragging tools through it. In “Silent Shouting,” a large work on linen, the white is opaque and forceful. Midnight blue and persimmon red play across this

“Without a Sound” by Nancy Taplin “Abrupt Transformation”

surface in variegated ribbons that intertwine and diverge amid a symphony of supporting colors. A red, rose - like form blossoms in the upper left of the painting, while in the opposite corner an oblong shape spews multicolored streamers. The centers of these paintings are active, explosive, their dynamic gestures suspended in time. The pristine white edges seem contrastingly compressed. Similarly, Taplin’s works on paper seem to spin in their own space and bounce off the edges as if alive. In “Haiti, Jan. 12, 2010, 4:53 PM,” intense red and orange strokes push against thick black lines. The piece feels chaotic and fractured; its strokes writhe and come apart. In an adjacent

to be running, its forward leg a thick yellow and green stroke. A red mark arched over the top quarter of the paper becomes an extended arm. Composed of just a few spare strokes, the figure is compact but complete. Taplin winds together the brushstrokes that make up the body, scraping paint away in places. Her technique creates a feeling of frenetic movement — in fact, of fleeing. In “Risky Possibilities,” a glossy black stroke snakes over brushed, wiped and scraped lines of ultramarine blue and royal purple. The paint drips thinly with oil, congeals in mounds and parts in furrows as if scraped with a comb. Surface and substance interact as the gessoed paper blends with and diverges from the paint. While the Haiti earthquake informs Taplin’s exhibit, the paintings succeed formally and conceptually apart from that concept. These are the dynamic and enticing works of a seasoned artist.
