My most prized possession is... my dinghy.

if i weren’t a realtor, i would be a‌ lost soul searching for the perfect career.

Before i was a realtor, one of my interesting jobs was... finding impressive stuff to put in a new resume.

One thing people are surprised to find out about me is... I have a serious side.

Something i would like to do, but haven’t had the chance‌ give away all my millions to the needy.

On a Sunday morning you will most likely find me... begging for 10 more minutes of sleep.

if i had $10.99 to spend, i would buy‌ something for 11 dollars by negotiating a discount.

My weirdest superstition or paranoia is‌ who said I was paranoid?

the last book i read was‌ in need of more pictures. if i had a private jet i would‌ beg the pilot to let me steer.

the first piece of real estate i bought was... lost in the divorce.

My favorite hobby is‌ figuring out how to get free publicity from the local newspaper.

CLOSE CALL For the past few weeks Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been reading about skateboarders â&#x20AC;&#x201D; articles and opinions, rights and wrongs â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and decided Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll skate down that path of story and opinion, too.

Recently, I nearly hit a skateboarder who cut us off at an intersection. He made a lefthand turn from the right side of the road. The traffic light turned yellow in front of us just as we entered the intersection. Without even looking, he turned in front of our path. Thanks to my attention and anti-lock brakes, we slowed enough in time to miss him. Oh, and by the way, the skateboarder didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t signal his turning plan; he just cut across my path from the right-side gutter where he had been riding.

A helmet? Nope. Gloves? Pads?

None. The fact that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still alive and riding has nothing at all to do with him â&#x20AC;&#x201D; it is only because of my reaction time in avoiding the oblivious fool.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always been my understanding that any vehicle on public roads â&#x20AC;&#x201D; cars, trucks, bicycles and, yes, skateboards â&#x20AC;&#x201D; needs to follow the basic rules of the road. That involves respecting things like stop signs, traffic lights, right-of-way, lighting at night, and signaling turns.

I see about 60 percent of the bicyclists in Vermont that get it

â&#x20AC;&#x201D; they pull into the proper turn lanes, give turn signals, ride in the direction of the traffic, stop at lights â&#x20AC;&#x201D; basically acting like and getting their due respect as vehicles on the road.

As far as skateboarders, unfortunately that percentage is too low to begin to calculate. I constantly see any and all traffic laws simply ignored by these riders. I seldom see any helmets, gloves or safety pads, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not even going to give an opinion as to whether the dragging of plastic-gloved hands on the road constitutes a legitimate vehicle braking system [â&#x20AC;&#x153;Collision Between Skater and Car Results in Blame Game,â&#x20AC;? August 8]. I have seen, on more than one occasion, skateboards minus riders shooting across roads out of control and hitting things (this is why surfers, snowboarders and skiers are required to use tethers or stopping devices at most places).

There is a need for skateboarders to take responsibility for their conduct if they are going to be on the road and not expect someone else to cover for their dangerous actions. There is little this group can legitimately argue as â&#x20AC;&#x153;their rightsâ&#x20AC;? if action or activity is in conflict with established traffic laws on the books . . .

TRAIN REACTION As a frequent Amtrak passenger, I appreciated Kirk Kardashianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s update on passenger rail service in Vermont [â&#x20AC;&#x153;Workinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; on the Railroad,â&#x20AC;? August 1]. The new trains will be welcome, despite the Agency of Transportationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s delay in using the bulk of rail funds right under its nose. (What they might do when the money is no longer available is a foregone conclusion.)

I took my first Amtrak trip in

1995, when you could put your bike on the train and purchase a printed ticket at the station desk.

Since then, Vermontâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s service has steadily and sadly eroded; the ticket windows are no more, and the stations generally feel abandoned. (Montpelierâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s station, where I board, is withering into history; faded â&#x20AC;&#x2122;80s Amtrak posters still adorn its walls.) The last time I saw the Vermonterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s baggage car, it was in Nevada â&#x20AC;&#x201D; cannibalized and pressed into

service elsewhere. One need only cross the border into QuĂŠbec, where the stations are spotless and teeming with activity, or visit Europe, which sets the passenger rail standard for the whole planet, to notice how far we lag behind.

Vermont doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t suffer alone; the atrophy of passenger rail is palpable nationwide (though less in some places than in others).

How did this happen in a country largely built by rail? Aside from

» audio slideshow gets boing boinged

You probably already know that Seven Days produces videos online, but did you know that you can also watch them on TV?

Ever heard of Boing Boing (www.boingboing.net)?

It’s a group blog that calls itself “A Directory of Wonderful Things,” and it’s one of the most popular websites in the world.

Last Wednesday, Boing Boing linked to our “Memorial Dolls” audio slideshow. It features the lifelike clay baby creations of Jeffersonville artist Jennifer Stocks-Dearborn, who started sculpting infants after her own daughter died of SIDS. file photo: krystal woodward

Episodes of Eva Sollberger’s “Stuck in Vermont” vlog air each week — Mondays at 8:30 p.m. and Tuesdays at 9:30 a.m. — on Burlington’s public access station, Channel 15 (VCAM).

Eva produces a half-hour compilation for TV each month, featuring the “Stuck in Vermont” episodes from the month before. The August show includes footage from Circus Smirkus, the Cirque du So Gay party at Higher Ground, welding week at the Rosie’s Girls camp, the Harry Potter book release party at the Flying Pig Bookstore in Shelburne, and Burlington’s Old North End Ramble.

If you’d like to own your own copy of Eva’s videos, you can purchase DVDs through Seven Days. Each DVD contains 10 episodes. Prices vary. Call 864-5684 to place your order.

Thousands of people visited our site to watch the slideshow, making it third most popular item on our website last week, after the home page and the personals.

The slideshow prompted a wide range of comments on my blog, “802 Online.” Paul Parkinson, author of the blog “This Week in London,” writes, “Breathtaking and wonderful. Moving and cheering.

Excellent. Well done.”

Videographer Eva Sollberger captures some acrobatic busking action with Burlington’s breakdancing Rhythm Riderz.

“Ummagumma” writes, “In an Internet full of sad things, this just might be the saddest thing I’ve ever heard of.”

You can still view the slideshow, which is linked from our home page, www.sevendaysvt.com. You can also find it simply by Googling “Memorial Dolls.”

If you have an idea for a video, or would like to have your music featured on Seven Days’ vlog “Stuck in Vermont,” contact Eva Sollberger, at eva@sevendaysvt.com.

Turnip Troubles Right now, I’m fairly sure that the citizens of Wardsboro, Vermont (pop. <900) are wicked pissed at me. I accidentally slighted their favorite vegetable in one of my features last week.

Wardsboro, near the state’s southern border, is the home of the Gilfeather turnip, named after farmer John Gilfeather (1865-1944). Gilfeather developed and grew the crunchy white orbs during the early part of the 20th century. The variety is one of only a few widely recognized and officially certified heirloom veggies indigenous to Vermont. In my Q&A with Gary Nabhan, I mistakenly transcribed it as a “gilliflower turnip.” The black gilliflower is an heirloom variety of apple, not at all the same thing.

The folks in Wardsboro are so serious about their special root vegetable that they have an annual celebration in its honor. Vermont’s annual Gilfeather Turnip Festival takes place at the end of October. Admission is free, and so are the tasting portions of turnip dishes that are served between 2 and 4 p.m.

But their adulation goes even further. A turnip song? Yep. A turnip poem? You betcha. You can hear them both in this 23-minute video . . .

Sexperienced, The Sequel My post yesterday regarding sexual experience produced a flurry of emails containing opinions and follow-up questions.

A few readers weighed in on whether or not it’s better to have a sexual partner with more or less experience. The consensus (of the male variety) is that you want a saint in the streets and a slut in the sheets. Meaning, it’s okay for your partners to know what they’re doing sexually, so long as they don’t flaunt it all over town while they’re with you.

That’s understandable, I suppose, but a word of advice: If your partner is a sex kitten, don’t stifle it — encourage it. Instead of being all jealous and insecure, take that slut out on the town. As long he or she is respectful of the boundaries of your relationship, you’ll be in for one wild night.

So, I thought I’d ask the rest of you: How experienced do you want your partner to be? Cast your vote in this online poll...

2x5-paulines081507.indd 1 8/9/07 2:48:58 PM SENATOR PATRICK LEAHY But thinking back over the last seven years, certainly it’s fair to say the United States of America would not be where it is today without Karl Rove. Does anyone seriously think President George W. Bush could have done it without this former two-time national president of the College Republicans (who never graduated, himself )?

No way!

But Rove’s Machiavellian genius took a well-deserved hit in the November 2006 elections when George W. Bush, Dick Cheney and Karl Rove lost their congressional, rubber-stamp majority on Capitol Hill. The GOP majority that has led America down many a dark path started to cave in. And Team Bush has been in retreat ever since.

Don’t we all, eh?

The six-term Democratic U.S. senator also expressed the confidence that is flowing through the veins of many Democratic Party political types these days, that a Democrat is going to win the White House in November 2008.

And that confidence reflects a sense of the direction that is shared with many nonDemocrats as well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have to have somebody who can reintroduce America to the rest of the world,â&#x20AC;? said Sen. Leahy at his Montpelier presser.

That, he said, is the â&#x20AC;&#x153;most important thingâ&#x20AC;? the next president of the United States can do.

He expressed confidence that the next president will appoint good people to run those departments and â&#x20AC;&#x153;clean up the mess.â&#x20AC;?

Members of Congress, he said, are well aware that a lot of departments, not just Justice and Homeland Security, â&#x20AC;&#x153;are totally screwed up.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;But we have got to reintroduce America to the rest of the world,â&#x20AC;? repeated Vermontâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s senior senator. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I believe I represent the greatest democracy on Earth.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so much to be proud of in our country.â&#x20AC;?

In spite of all that, he continued, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We still find hatred toward us. We have to have something saying America is back â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the America you knew before.â&#x20AC;?

As for Karl Roveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s future, the Vermont senator said he expects Mr. Rove will write a book, and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll make millions out of that.â&#x20AC;?

Yes, indeed.

But Rove will, in a sense,

ferent participants will have different recollections of what was said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If they want to have a meeting with a transcript with the understanding there may well be follow-up questions,â&#x20AC;? added Leahy, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have any problem with that at all.â&#x20AC;?

Unfortunately, so far, swearing to â&#x20AC;&#x153;tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing butâ&#x20AC;? is not something that sits well with Karl Rove.

P.S. Candidate-wise, Leahy said he attended a fundraiser for U.S. Sen. Barack Obama in Norwich over the weekend. (See â&#x20AC;&#x153;Local Matters,â&#x20AC;? this issue.) St. Patrick said it was the biggest candidate fundraiser in Vermont history, netting between $260,000 and $280,000 for the presidential campaign of his fellow senator from Chicago, Illinois.

Chicago is also where Leahy recently played a bit part in the shooting of the latest Batman movie. His â&#x20AC;&#x153;actorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s salaryâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; about $2000 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; will be donated to the Kellogg-Hubbard Library in his hometown of Montpelier.

No doubt, said Leahy, Mr. Rove will be on the phone with President Bush â&#x20AC;&#x153;all the time.â&#x20AC;?

However, Sen. Leahy and his Judiciary Committee have no intention of backing off on their quest to get Mr. Rove to be a good citizen, comply with their subpoena, and answer their questions under oath.

Thus far, Rove has agreed to appear under his conditions.

We would have to â&#x20AC;&#x153;let them set the agenda on what they could talk about, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d have to agree thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be no follow-up,â&#x20AC;? said St. Patrick. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be no transcript and it would not be under oath. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nobodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to accept that,â&#x20AC;? said Leahy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Republicans donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to accept that and the Democrats donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to accept that.â&#x20AC;?

Without a transcript and follow-up opportunity, he said, dif-

The former Vermont governor, who became the unsuccessful firebrand in the race for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2004, landed on his feet as the popular chairman of the DNC. Ho-Ho is widely credited with being the driving force behind his partyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s successful 50state strategy in 2006, which returned Democrats to the majority in both House and Senate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve suffered a lot in this party because we havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been out there talking to people personally,â&#x20AC;? said Dr. Dean, â&#x20AC;&#x153;while the emissaries from the Republican Party, the Rush Limbaughs and Bill Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Reillys and Ann Coulters of the world, have been savaging us in the media.â&#x20AC;?

The â&#x20AC;&#x153;antidote to that,â&#x20AC;? said Dean, â&#x20AC;&#x153;is to personally connect with people again like we used to do when this party was a really strong, grassroots party.â&#x20AC;?

Just fly Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s airways, as DNC Chairman Howard Dean does about 10 times a week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no airport in the country thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s even remotely functional,â&#x20AC;? said Chairman HoHo, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and you can put that in the lap of the George Bush administration, which is thoroughly incompetent in just about every single thing they do.â&#x20AC;?

And the woman who was governor when he was lieutenant governor, Madeleine Kunin, spoke to the gathering of DNC leaders about the book sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s finishing on something sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quite versed in: women in politics. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Let me just give you a brief quiz,â&#x20AC;? said Queen Madeleine. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Which country in the world do you think has the highest percentage of women in its parliament?

Anybody guess?

The correct answer is Rwanda, which, she said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;has 48.8 percent women in the Congress. You know what the United States of America has?â&#x20AC;? she asked the audience.

Everyone appeared stumped.

No one even ventured to guess.

Turns out, said Kunin, in the United States only 15.1 percent of women serve. We rank 69th out of 187 countries in the world.â&#x20AC;?

Asked about that, DNC Chair Dean replied, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think by Vermont standards this is incredibly early. As you may remember, Tom Salmon, the second Democratic governor in 100-and-some-odd years, became the nominee shortly after the Democratic convention in Miami in 1972.

NORWICH — It may seem early in the game to start thinking about a presidential frontrunner, but if campaign donations, voter polls and local legislators’ praise are any indication of the future, Barack Obama (D-IL) is Vermont’s man in the Democratic primary race.

Last Sunday, in a hush-hush visit to the Green Mountain State, Obama addressed a crowd of about 200 supporters in a tent outside the stately Norwich mansion of Bill and Jane Stetson. The senator’s appearance, which marks the first to Vermont by a declared, mainstream 2008 presidential candidate, is likely the swankiest local fundraiser since former state Governor Howard Dean’s failed 2004 White House run.

Obama’s take from the gala exceeded the original goal of $250,000 “considerably,” says Bill Stetson. When heaped atop the $121,779 the senator had already raised in the state, Sunday’s earnings catapult his Vermont fundraising campaign well beyond the competition. According to July figures from the Washington, D.C.-based Center for Responsive Politics (CRP), Hillary Clinton (DNY) is a distant second with21,150 Green Mountain greenbacks.

In addition to the outpouring of funds from Vermont voters, the state’s federal lawmakers also spoke in support of Obama, with senior Senator Patrick Leahy (DVT) stopping just short of an official endorsement. Speaking in the Stetsons’ driveway, Leahy maintained that he and his congressional colleagues don’t take “formal positions” on presidential candidates at such an early stage in the

BARACK OBAMA

race, but conceded, “Half of my campaign staff is working for him.”

Vermont’s two other congressmen also expressed glowing admiration for Obama. Congressman Peter Welch (D-VT), for instance, said the Illinois senator “represents hope and change.” Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) called him “a wonderful guy and a great speaker.”

Opinions on the part of the Stetsons’ guests appeared to be sim-

ilar. While the catered event was ostensibly closed to media, this reporter heard the end of Obama’s speech from behind the bushes outside the Stetson residence. The address was punctuated by loud whoops from the well-dressed crowd. At one point, Obama shouted that he was “fired up and ready to go!”

After his speech, the senator was quickly whisked away in a

City Police Investigating Vandal Attacks, Hate Crimes at R.U.1.2? Community Center

BURLINGTON — The City of Burlington and the people who call it home are known for openness and tolerance of others. But a rash of vandalism suggests that even the most accepting communities are not immune to hate.

smashed over the weekend of August 3. Police are investigating all three incidents as hate crimes.

Interpreting the attacks as “a message that there are people who hate us,” R.U.1.2? Executive Director Kara DeLeonardis

The police are taking this seriously, but they can only do so much without witnesses.

The R.U.1.2? Community Center on Elmwood Avenue has been targeted on three separate occasions in the past four months. In early May, someone threw a brick through the center’s front-porch window and broke several others.

In June, the sign in front of the building was tagged “Burn in Hell.”

Another front-porch window was

observes, “Homophobia and transphobia are alive and well in Vermont.”

Burlington police have canvassed the area around the community center, issued press releases on the matter and conducted interviews, but have not come up with any leads in the case. “One of our detectives has rattled every

cage he can find,” says Deputy Chief Mike Schirling, a spokesman for the Burlington Police Department. “We have not come up with a suspect.”

DeLeonardis is less concerned about finding the culprit than in the effect of the aggression on the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transsexual (LGBT) community. “We’ve had people say, ‘Now we don’t feel safe coming here,’” she says. In the four years since R.U.1.2? moved to its current location, “there’s never been this level of attacks,” DeLeonardis adds. She attributes it to the center’s ever-expanding public visibility and the recent passage of the Gender Identity NonDiscrimination Act in Vermont. The group lobbied for the bill’s passage.

Police say the incidents at R.U.1.2? are the only instances of multiple hate-motivated attacks on a specific individual or location in the city this year. Four other isolated hate crimes also occurred, including one involving a swastika

motorcade of black SUVs with tinted windows and was not available for comment, but his spokeswoman, Jen Psaki, offered thanks on his behalf. “Senator Obama is grateful for the grassroots support for his campaign across the state of Vermont,” Psaki wrote in an email sent to Seven Days Monday afternoon. “He is thrilled that he had the opportunity to visit with people of the state last weekend.”

Schmoozy fundraiser-speak aside, Obama’s voting record on the war in Iraq offers some insight into why Vermont’s federal representatives may be jumping on his bandwagon. According to Leahy, Obama’s position on the Iraq war is consistent with that of Leahy’s senior colleague, Richard Durbin (D-IL), and of Vermont’s three congressmen. “He and Dick Durbin and I all opposed the war right from the start, as did Peter [Welch] and Bernie [Sanders],” Leahy said. “It’s nice to see his consistency.” (See sidebar.)

Further bolstering his place in Vermont presidential politics, Obama beat out Senator John Edwards (D-NC) as the most popular Democratic candidate in a poll of about 800 Vermonters conducted by the state Democratic Party earlier this month. Obama took 36 percent of the vote; Edwards trailed with 29 percent, and Clinton took 10.

“It was a remarkably hopeful and exciting presentation with good humor and a great urgency to make a difference in how we treat our people . . . and other countries,” said East Barnard resident Jenepher Linglebach, who attended Sunday’s speech. She suggested the speech incorporated a good “mix” of foreign and domestic policy discussion. “He’s one of us,” added her friend Titia Ellis of Woodstock as they stepped into a Toyota Prius.

Bob Williamson of South Woodstock agreed. “For a Vermont fundraising event, I think it was extraordinary,” he observed. “This is by far the biggest [political fundraiser] I’ve seen outside a Burlington site.”

At $1000 per plate and $2300 for a photograph with Obama, it’s no surprise the event drew participants from Vermont’s upper crust.

But party co-host Jane Watson Stetson, who serves on the finance committee of the Obama campaign, says she would dismiss claims the

ANTIWAR BUDDIES? Prompted by Senator Leahy’s claim that Obama’s position on the Iraq war is “consistent” with that of Vermont’s congressional delegation, Seven Days compared Obama’s Iraq war voting record with those of Leahy and Bernie Sanders. Obama’s votes were also compared with Vermont Congressman Peter Welch’s where applicable.

Pizzeria/Takeout/Delivery: 655-5555

• Out of 13 votes Obama has shared with Leahy in 2006 and 2007, the senators agreed on all but one: the failed Troop Redeployment Amendment. On six war-related votes Obama shared with Sanders, the two senators voted identically.

Casual Fine Dining (Reservations): 655-0000 The Bakery: 655-5282 www.juniorsvt.com

• In June 2006, Obama voted against the Troop Redeployment Amendment, which would have set a firm deadline for troop withdrawal from Iraq. Leahy and Obama’s senior Illinois colleague Durbin voted for the deadline. That vote occurred before Sanders and Welch had taken office.

• In January, Obama introduced the Iraq War De-Escalation Act of 2007. His cosponsors were Durbin, Leahy and Sanders. The bill was referred to the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations.

Welch cosponsored a similar bill in the House.

• Last month, Obama, Durbin, Leahy and Sanders supported two amendments to the 2008 Defense Authorization Act. The first would have set restrictions on the deployment of American soldiers to Iraq. The second would have provided for a “reduction and transition” of American forces in Iraq. Both amendments gained a slight majority, but not enough for a 60 percent majority. Welch supports similar legislation in the House. senator’s campaign was exclusive.

She and her husband, a filmmaker and environmental consultant, point out that despite its high entrance fee, the event generated thousands in “low volume” donations. Watson Stetson adds that she views Obama as an “inclusive” candidate.

Statistics offer a more complex assessment. According to July figures from the CRP, only 28 percent of Obama’s total donations for his presidential campaign have come in installments of $200 or less, a figure that doesn’t include Political Action Committee (PAC) donations from entities such as corporations or labor unions. Edwards clocked in at 23 percent on this measure, Clinton at 9. Ohio Rep. Dennis Kucinich,

whose policies are more progressive than those of the major three candidates, boasted 73 percent.

On the other end of the financial spectrum, Obama was second only to Clinton for donations of $2300 or more, receiving 44 percent of his funding in these large installments. Clinton reported 70 percent, Edwards 42 and Kucinich just 6.

After Obama’s departure from Norwich, guests lingered into the evening with freshman Congressman Welch. How does Obama compare with the last Democratic candidate to cause a major stir in Vermont, Howard Dean? Welch, who was serving as Vermont Senate Pro Tempore when Dean made his presidential run in 2004, likened both candidates to “insurgents,” adding that Senator Obama doesn’t suffer from the “burden” of being relatively unknown in the national spotlight.

Still, Welch warned, political insurgency implies an inherent risk.

“That’s the challenge the Obama campaign [faces],” he said. “How to maintain his message of change and hope and fend off the attack from the establishment press . . . who took Howard down.” �

True to form, R.U.1.2? is making the most of a bad situation. The center raised $600 by auctioning off the brick that broke the first window in May. It now sits in a glass case in the center’s library in silent defiance to those who hate. �

DeLeonardis praises Burlington police for applying hate-crime statutes to address the problem — it’s “just another example of how they are ahead of the game,” she observes.

“There’s a reason why the state’s only LGBT community center is in Burlington.” That said, the recent attacks are a reminder “that we have so much more work to do around making Vermont a truly safe place.”

In the meantime, DeLeonardis says the LGBT plan is to stay active and visible. Unlike the vandals, who struck on weekend nights when R.U.1.2? was closed, “We’re not going to hide,” she vows. After the first incident in May, the center installed a new alarm system. The next security step? More lights around the building and surveillance cameras.

BURLINGTON — Ever wonder how much your bankers know about you, or what they can do with the information they do have? If so, a situation that occurred earlier this month at the Burlington Square Chittenden Bank may raise your eyebrows.

Bill Danaher, a 15-month Burlington resident who describes himself as a “law-abiding citizen with a record,” told Seven Days he was cuffed by local police and taken from the bank while trying to make a withdrawal from his checking account on the morning of Thursday, August 2.

Police say they learned of Danaher’s location via a 911 call that came from the bank, and that the caller informed the dispatcher Danaher was a wanted man.

But bank officials dispute this claim. “I can’t find anybody who will admit to calling the cops,” says Clyde Yarnell, security manager at the bank. He insists further that bank employees have no way of checking people’s backgrounds. “We definitely don’t have any crystal ball to tell if somebody has an arrest warrant or not,” Yarnell says. “There’s just no way of know“Staying Home is What Made Sense!!!” ing, unless somebody knows [Danaher] personally, but I can’t find anyone who knows him or made the call.”

When I made an inquiry as to what the hell was going on . . . I was simply told that “A lot has happened since 9/11.”

BILL DANAHER

What was he wanted for? According to Danaher, $64 worth of civil penalties stemming from previous drunk-driving charges. He says he was unaware of the warrants and believed he had paid all fees associated with the charges. Furthermore, Danaher, 53, says he is under the supervision of the state Department of Corrections as part of his DUI punishment and has been meeting monthly with a probation officer for about a year. During that time, there has been no mention of pending arrest warrants, Danaher reports.

“It’s just bizarre,” he says, describing the bank’s knowledge of his outstanding warrants as “Orwellian crap.”

The Burlington police — whom Danaher describes as “good eggs” — assisted him in withdrawing funds from an ATM to pay the $64 fine. He was released, and returned to the bank to finish his withdrawal less than an hour after being taken into police custody. Embarrassed and upset, Danaher says he questioned the head teller about the situation.

“When I made an inquiry as to what the hell was going on . . . I was simply told that ‘A lot has

Deputy Chief Mike Schirling, spokesman for the Burlington Police Department. “[The caller] knew his name,” he says. “There is no way for us to know [Danaher] is there unless they called.”

Yarnell says Chittenden employees will typically communicate with police when they fall victim to fraud, when a customer is caught cashing bad checks, or when they notice other illegal account-related activity, but says there is no such activity on file for Danaher’s account. He adds that the Chittenden would not provide police with personal information unless the bank was subject to subpoena.

Schirling also says there is and has been no partnership or system of information sharing between local authorities and banks — before or after 9/11. “Of all the Patriot Act provisions, there were none that related to local law enforcement,” he says. “We don’t have any connection to banks.” Schirling speculates that somebody at the bank “had to know [Danaher] was wanted.”

According to Danaher, that’s impossible. He claims he knows very few people in Burlington and is not familiar with anyone at the bank. Banks are required to report transactions of $10,000 or more to federal officials, but his withdrawal request was well below that threshold, he says.

While the mysterious caller may not be found out, Schirling concludes that whoever called 911 did the right thing. The whereabouts of all wanted persons should be reported to police, he says, regardless of the caliber of their offense. “If somebody’s wanted for $5 or $5 million — don’t worry about it, just call,” 2x5-3toms060607.indd Schirling advises.

Still, Danaher feels the bank’s response was over the top, and he plans to end his relationship with Chittenden. He asks rhetorically: “Who’s serving who here?” �

In August, Middlebury is a particularly nice place to pick up a page-turner. Main Street is awash in literary color from the nearby Bread Loaf Writersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Conference.

You can finally sit on your porch with a paperback without losing a pint of blood to mosquitoes, and the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s four independent bookstores leave their doors open, just in case youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re short on brain ammo.

Er, make that three independent bookstores. Later this month, after a three-day charity bookgiveaway bonanza, In the Alley Bookshop on Mill Street will close its doors. The announcement comes less than a year after the closing of two other Vermont independent strongholds: Deer Leap Books in Bristol and the Book Rack & Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pages in Essex.

In the Alley proprietor John Vincent, 57, insists heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not quitting the game because of financial woes. But his decision prompts an inquiry into the future of Middleburyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s independent book scene. A holdout against online trading, Vincent asks whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s possible to push pages these days without using a mouse.

The ex-cop-turned-ponytailedhomesteader has always embraced his niche image. Since Vincent took over In the Alley in 2000, roughly 90 percent of the storeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 17,000-some titles have been nonfiction. Rather than catering to a general audience, he focuses on tough-to-sell subject areas such as â&#x20AC;&#x153;African-American,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Native American,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;environmental subjects and issuesâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and naturalist writings.â&#x20AC;? Vincent also sells records and CDs. As he says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Too many retail places try to have something for everyone.â&#x20AC;?

Stephen Donadio is editor of the Middlebury-based New England Review and a longtime prof at Middlebury College and the Bread Loaf School of English. He asserts that Vincent had â&#x20AC;&#x153;a real followingâ&#x20AC;? and describes the bookseller as â&#x20AC;&#x153;very much involved in the community.â&#x20AC;? Donadio also notes Vincentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s support for Middleburyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual Festival on the Green and his membership on the board of the local natural-foods co-op. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There was very little he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have something to do with,â&#x20AC;?

Donadio says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So in that sense, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a loss across the board.â&#x20AC;?

According to Vincent, Middlebury still has â&#x20AC;&#x153;greatâ&#x20AC;? bookshops. But by generalizing inventory and standardizing appearance, he says, some of his Vermont colleagues seem to have lost their â&#x20AC;&#x153;independent look.â&#x20AC;? Then thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the Internet, which Vincent speaks of as if it were an airborne disease.

Three or four years ago, he pulled his membership from the Vermont Antiquarian Booksellers Association (VABA) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main resource for used-book sellers â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in part, he says, because the organization was supporting online sales at the expense of â&#x20AC;&#x153;bricks-and-mortarâ&#x20AC;? storefronts.

Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right about that general trend. VABA Vice President Joseph Trenn, owner of the Book Shed in Benson, estimates that at least two-thirds of VABAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 63 members do online sales. That includes

JANE AND JOHN VINCENT

A holdout against online trading, Vincent asks whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s possible to push pages these days without using a mouse.

Bygone Books, a Burlington usedbook store that downsized to a corner of the Champlain Valley Antiques Center in Shelburne in 2004. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The majority of my sales are online,â&#x20AC;? confirms owner Deborah Barnum. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I keep the antique spot to maintain a public presence, and try to have there books that the average antique shopper might be looking for.â&#x20AC;? Barnum wryly offers a Jerry Seinfeld remark: â&#x20AC;&#x153;A bookstore is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking.â&#x20AC;?

When pressed for comment on his former competitors in Middlebury, Vincent refuses to talk smack. However, a quick survey of the other three bookstores appears to illustrate some of his observations. On Main Street, the Vermont Book Shop, a generalinterest store vending only new books, has recently undergone a fashionable makeover. In a basement venue across town, VABA member Otter Creek Used Books is planning a foray into the online market. And two miles north on Route 7, VABA compatriot Monroe Street Books sells approximately half its titles to Web patrons.

Phone calls to these other businesses suggest Vincentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lament is only one strain of the Middlebury booksellersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; story.

Dick Chodkowski, who owns Monroe Street Books with his wife Flanzy, reports that online sales have been a lifesaver for independent sellers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to be in the used-book business anymore without being online unless you have a [great] location,â&#x20AC;? he notes, adding that â&#x20AC;&#x153;even the Strandâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; New York Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s iconic used-book haunt â&#x20AC;&#x201D; has gone online. Vermont Book Shop manager Grant Novak thinks his store, general interest or not,

has plenty of character, and notes that he gets his bestseller list from independent-oriented www.booksense.com rather than The New York Times.

Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next for maverick Vincent? Later this month, he and his wife Jane will relocate to a 2acre property beside the former Helen and Scott Nearing homestead in Harborside, Maine, where theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll pursue what those back-to-theland pioneers called the â&#x20AC;&#x153;good life.â&#x20AC;?

If he were sticking around, though, where would he pick up his reads? Vincent praises Bulwagga Books & Gallery in nearby Whiting, a converted general store that specializes in â&#x20AC;&#x153;scholarly and classicalâ&#x20AC;? titles, for keeping it real in a digital age. Like In the Alley, Bulwagga doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sell online, although the store does have a website.

When reached at his store, 70-year-old Bulwagga proprietor John Travis sounds a little less sanguine. The former New Yorker says business has been slow these past few years because of the Internet boom. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As for the online people, we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t argue with them,â&#x20AC;? he hedges, â&#x20AC;&#x153;because we go online ourselves.â&#x20AC;? Not to hawk books, but to buy them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just kind of tootling along,â&#x20AC;? Travis observes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In a big city, you have enough people to [browse]. But in a small town, the future may not be that bright.â&#x20AC;? ďż˝

In the Alley officially closed its doors on August 11. On August 17, 18 & 19, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., the store will reopen to host a special event: For a $10 donation to one of three charitable causes, patrons can fill a bag with books.

ART

Local Artist Has Very Long-Range Plans

An Independent K – 12 School

BY PAMELA POLSTON

Joe Hudak doesn’t exactly want you to “walk a mile in his shoes,” but something about that proverbial imperative seems appropriate to his unique vision. The Mile Project is an ambitious undertaking that will rely on the kindness of many, many strangers to help this 38-year-old Enosburg Falls artist realize his goal. The idea is to get thousands of people to draw little pictures on postcards he has made for the purpose. The drawing area is just under 3 inches wide, so once Hudak has collected the 21,000-some cards, he will arrange the pictures in a horizontal line and print them on a continuous roll of paper. That’s right: 1 mile long.

There’s no deep meaning behind the math. Hudak says he chose a mile because “it’s a nice round number, an iconic measurement.” But the significance of his

images. But even among the oneoffs, some themes have emerged.

“It’s amazing how many stick figures can drink beer,” Hudak says wryly.

When he hands strangers a postcard and asks them to draw something, often their first reaction is fear, he confides. But when he tells them about his good cause, even the “non-artists” tend

project transcends simply making a massively long monoprint — though that’s surely a recordbreaking achievement in itself.

Hudak’s ultimate objective is to open an arts center with public studio space and art-making opportunities “in a town that needs it and would welcome it.”

(He hasn’t chosen that town yet.)

The bigger-picture raison d’être: Hudak wants to do something to counter what he sees as a dwindling focus on arts education in public schools. “It’s as if we’re, as a society, moving away from want-

process almost a year ago, Hudak estimates he has about 14 percent of the drawings he needs. In just a few more years, he reckons, he’ll be able to make the mile-long print and sell it off at $25 per “link.”

H u d a k explains that 40,000 chain links (extending a bit more than a mile) will appear along the bottom of the horizontal roll to “meter” the print. And here’s that math: $25 x 40,000 links = $1 million.

Hudak hopes that sum will enable him to establish the arts center without incurring the debt of a bank loan. “I want the studio rentals to be as cheap as possible,” he asserts.

Mile Project supporters can, of course, buy any number of consecutive links of the print. For instance, someone might want to own all 40 of the New York City sketches one participant sent in — “He drew one a day,” Hudak explains. “I’d like to keep things that came as sets together.” He guesses “five or 10” other individuals have given him multiple

to relax and oblige. A recent shout-out on the participatory arts website www.illustrationfri day.com has garnered Hudak entries from as far as Croatia, Japan and Brazil, he says. Locally — when he’s not at his job designing ads for The Burlington Free Press — he can often be found in a coffee shop working on his laptop, and telling more strangers about The Mile Project.

A sort of social network is developing alongside the creative enterprise, Hudak says. As the drawings collect on his website, suspense mounts about the finished product: Participants want to see which images will appear beside their own contributions or sections they want to buy, he suggests. To up the curiosity ante, he’s planning to add his own stream of images to a horizontal band in the middle of the print — between the drawings above and the chain links below. And for now, he’s remaining mum about just what that stream will be. “It’s still in development phase, but I have a concept,” he says cryptically. “I want to keep it close to the vest.” Hudak says he’ll be building a forum on his site, “so people can talk to each other.”

Meanwhile, he’s looking for a source of good archival paper for the print. The current postcards are on wind-power Bristol board, Hudak explains. He prints them himself and cuts them by hand with an old-school X-Acto knife.

Oh, and he’s also selling project Tshirts — for those too impatient to “walk” the mile. �

Unorthodox Matters Two people were injured during a melee between rival factions of nuns at a convent in Cyprus.

The church was covered with blood as nuns and priests from both sides attacked each other using sharp objects, according to authorities, who said the incident was the latest in a long-standing dispute involving management of the convent’s finances.

Both contingents share the monastery in Avdellero but stay in separate buildings, with friends and relatives of the two groups taking turns patrolling the premises at night to prevent surprise attacks.

They made plans to meet in Sacramento, but before leaving, White changed her mind. Not wishing to hurt Fernando’s feelings, however, she called to tell him she had been kidnapped from the spot where they were to meet. Fernando notified the police, who called White on her cellphone.

As she whispered, pretending she was locked in a car trunk being driven around Sacramento, investigators became suspicious of her account and dispatched officers to her home in Turlock. When she answered the door, she admitted the story was a lie she concocted to break her date.

Heavy Metal A new Chinese martial arts video teaches men how to make their crotch as hard as iron. In the video, a monk named Shi Yanwu demonstrates Tiedang Gong (“Iron Crotch Kung Fu”) by having another monk kick him in the privates. He is also shown with another monk hanging by a rope from his penis and using his penis to pull a heavy stoneroller. The video claims that by practicing the martial art, “a man can not only protect himself better, but also improve his sexual agility and potency.”

The monk claims he learned the technique at Shaolin temple. While denying any connection to the monk, the temple confirmed the existence of Tiedang Gong but insisted it has “to do with health, not sex.”

Fowl Play Painesville, Ohio, Municipal Judge Michael Cicconetti ordered three men who pleaded guilty to soliciting sex to take turns wearing a bright yellow chicken costume outside the city courthouse while carrying a sign that reads “No Chicken Ranch in Painesville.” The sign and costume refer to the World Famous Chicken Ranch, a legal brothel in Nevada.

Painesville borrowed the costume from a woman who wears it to cheer patients at a local hospice.

Having credit checked is an important and necessary step in the home buying process. However, very few people realize that each time their credit is checked, the “inquiry data” that the credit bureaus (Equifax, TransUnion, Innovis or Experian) has on file has now become a commodity. This information is being sold by the credit bureaus to other lenders and also to companies that sell and resell the same names and personal information. These “inquiry leads” can include name, address, phone numbers (including unlisted), credit score, current debt and debt history, property information, age, gender and estimated income. Lenders that purchase these leads will often do everything they can to recoup their investment and turn a hefty profit. Super sneaky bait and switch tactics are often used to lure clients away from their reputable lender.

Clients have even been called by disreputable lenders and told that the lender they had been speaking to previously “passed on” the information to them, because they knew that they’d be able to offer much better interest rates and terms. The good news is that you can make it stop, right away. The consumer credit reporting industry has provided a way to “opt out” and remove your name from these lists. You can contact them by phone at 1-888-567-8688 or online at www.optoutprescreen.com.

Opting out will also protect you from “pre-approved credit offers” arriving via mail, one of the leading causes of identity theft in the US. Take the time and opt out today. For more information or answers to any mortgage related questions, call Mark at: 2x7-LaneSeries070407.indd 1

all worthwhile human knowledge

You think this job is easy? Well, it’s a damn sight easier than it used to be now that I can fob the hard parts off on my hardworking assistants, in this case Una. She came up with a spreadsheet that, as I understand it (she glossed over a few bits in the PowerPoint), reduces all human activity, or anyway all activity involved in electric dryers and paper towels, to its equivalent in kilowatt hours. Her conclusion is . . . well, we’ll get to that.

While electric dryers consume energy, a lot of energy goes into drying hands in the industrialized world no matter what the technology. Here in the U.S. each year we use more than 2.5 million tons of paper towels, a product that takes energy to manufacture, transport to the end user, and haul away afterward.

How much energy? Depends. For one thing, are the towels made from virgin or recycled paper? Turning recycled paper into newsprint takes at least 70 percent less energy than virgin material, and presumably the savings in paper towel manufacture are similar.

The energy used by dryers is also highly variable.

Different models can use anywhere from 1500 to 2400 watts and can take more or less time to dry your hands. Manufacturer estimates are typically optimistic — most hot-air units operate on cycles ranging from 20 to 40 seconds, and some newer cool-air models like the Dyson Airblade claim to require only 10 seconds. I’ve tried them all, and I say bunk — drying my hands almost always takes two or more cycles, and researchers at the University of Westminster back me up. They studied the drying efficiency of paper towels, cotton towels, and hot-air dryers and found that (a) it typically took 43 seconds under a dryer to dry as well as 12 seconds with a paper towel, but (b) most dryer users lose patience well before then, and (c) about 40 percent end up wiping their hands on their pants.

Despite the uncertainties, many studies claim to show that paper towels made from virgin material are an energy sink. Data developed by Franklin Associates shows that using recycled paper towels requires about 62 percent of the energy expended on virgin towels, standard hand dryers need about 30 percent, and one model of high-efficiency hand dryer required only about 10 percent. According to a study conducted

by Environmental Resources Management for two manufacturers of hot-air dryers, paper towels required about 64 percent more electricity over five years.

Dear Cecil, When drying my hands in a public bathroom, I frequently have the choice of an electric hot-air dryer or paper towels. Since the label on the hot-air dryer proclaims it is environmentally friendly and reduces paper towel waste, I generally use it. But the dryer requires no little electricity, the production of which is often detrimental to the environment. So which is less damaging for the planet?

What about those reusable cloth towels mounted on a big roll? An EPA study found that continuous cloth towels, as they’re known, have a low environmental impact, requiring only about 8 percent as much energy as paper towels and about 13 percent as much water (including what’s needed for manufacturing and laundering). The drawback of cloth towels is that they’re more of a pain — seems like half the time I run across one in a public restroom, the mechanism is jammed or the towel is torn, dirty or otherwise gross.

“On the But don’t rule them out. What with global warming Marketplace” and scarce energy, the world’s in for some big changes over the next 50 years. If we have to swap paper towels for cloth, well, we’re going to see a lot worse than that.

ON THE PUBLIC USES AND ABUSES OF EMOTION

The Right to Be Lazy

A

s you read this, I am on vacation. That’s not something many can say in this country. Only 14 percent of American workers get a paid vacation of two weeks or more. One in three women (including me) and one in four men get no paid time at all. By contrast, every European country guarantees four or five weeks off, and even the famously industrious Japanese get a minimum of two. In fact, ours is the only developed nation that does not legally protect its citizens’ downtime.

Still, I’ve noticed that lots of people lucky enough to enjoy a decent period of fully compensated R&R are not resting or relaxing.

I don’t mean the folks who sign up for a weeklong Arabic immersion course or go off to trek the Himalayas. I’m talking about those from whom I receive an email reply with an automatic “Out of Office” subject line and then, an hour later, a response to my work-related post. Yes, they are sitting on a lawn chair by the ocean or in a snowbank on top of Mt. Kilimanjaro. But they have their BlackBerries with them, and they’re not using them to play backgammon.

Now, the reason may be that, even if they’re paid to not work, they actually have work to do. U.S. productivity has steadily increased even as wages and benefits have shrunk and companies have downsized. And when you think your job may be the next on the block, you’re not exactly sanguine about goin’ fishing.

But I don’t think we can blame only the greedy corporations and the laissez-faire government for our overwork.

Today, it is not the rich who are idle — the executives, surgeons, and frequent-flyer inspirational speakers — but the poor, who, being underemployed, undereducated (and, conservatives charge, undermoti-

We’re not going to beat the odds for time off in America until we knock busy-ness off its pedestal. vated) have nothing better to do than loaf. Or so it is alleged. Idleness is not, anyway, a high-status condition.

We lionize the busy. Those who work too hard are proud of it, even if they dislike their jobs or suspect their occupations — say, missile manufacture or hedge-fund management — are of dubious social value. And those who don’t have “enough” work, which is to say, too much work, feel slightly ashamed.

This was brought home to me a while ago, when I called a college professor who represents the New York chapter of Take Back Your Time, a fine U.S.-Canadian organization that advocates for such reasonable entitlements as universal paid vacations, family and sick leave, and guaranteed adequate retirement income. I wanted to see if we could hang out on Take Back Your Time Day, which fell about a month hence, as it happened, on a Sunday.

But he couldn’t. He was working.

Might there be another time we could talk? A long pause ensued, during which he flipped through his date book. Finally he said he could fit me in on the day before Thanksgiving. We laughed. The irony was obvious to both of us.

Still, when I got off the phone, instead of being irritated or amused, I sank into a little slough of self“Poli Psy” is a monthly column that can also be read on www.sevendaysvt.com. To reach Judith Levine, email levine@sevendaysvt.com.

contempt. I mean, I could have made an appointment for the next week. I felt like a dust bunny in the cyclone of his activity.

Workaholism is not new in the West. Every high school student who bones up on her Max Weber Wikipedia entry knows that Calvinism, with its emphasis on worldly gain as evidence of spiritual righteousness, boosted early capitalism into gear. The Protestant ethic, even with the Protestantism stripped out, is still powerful in America.

But workaholism has also had its discontents.

“Industry and utility are the angels of death who, with fiery swords, prevent man’s return to Paradise,” wrote the German Romantic ironist Friedrich Schlegel. He condemned the predominant lifestyle of his time (circa 1800) as one of “empty, restless striving,” which he dismissed as “a Nordic bad habit.”

By mid-century, Marx had turned this Romantic yearning for idleness into political principle. “A nation is really rich if the work day is six hours rather than twelve,” he wrote. Legend has it that as its first order of business, the workers’ government of the Paris Commune of 1870-71 burnt the money and smashed the clocks. Now that’s taking back your time.

In 1883, Marx’s son-in-law, the French labor activist Paul Lafargue, published a pamphlet called “The Right to Be Lazy.” He quoted the Greeks and Jesus on the virtues of idleness and declared that Jehovah himself toiled six days, then lay on the couch watching football for the rest of time. He indicted the capitalist as a slave driver, but was equally distressed by what he saw as the worker’s masochistic lust for labor, even when technology might have eased his lot.

“The blind, perverse and murderous passion for work transforms the liberating machine into an instrument for the enslavement of free men,” he wrote. And this was before email.

Lafargue called for a three-hour workday. In the 1970s a Brooklyn anarchist group did some statistical figuring, accounted for technology, and concluded that we’d all have to put in four hours weekly to keep the world spinning. They named themselves Zero Work.

Still, even labor unions, to which we owe such labor-saving devices as the weekend, have never

accepted a week of Sundays as a seemly goal. It was in response to 19th-century socialist demands for the “right to work” that Lafargue wrote his manifesto.

Although the Right proselytizes the obligation to work, even when there are no paying jobs, it was Bill Clinton, the Democratic son of a struggling single mother, who ended welfare as we knew it. And the Left continues to struggle for “full employment.”

We’re not going to beat the odds for time off in America until we knock busy-ness off its pedestal.

Those odds are already slim. The federal Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 guarantees 12 weeks off every 12 months to care for a new baby or sick family member. Several states, including Vermont, offer more time for more reasons to more people — but nowhere is this leave compensated. Earlier this year, Connecticut Democratic Senator Chris Dodd introduced a bill to expand the FMLA (which was his baby) to include some paid time — but the bill lost steam, and would have expired on the president’s desk anyhow. Similar bills were voted down in Oregon and stymied in New York.

And these are proposals to pay workers recovering from childbirth and giving their demented parents sponge baths. Can you imagine demanding to be paid to read People magazine on the beach?

Actually, Take Back Your Time is doing just that. It is promoting an amendment to the Fair Labor Standards Act that would guarantee three weeks of paid vacation after a year on the job. The group has challenged the presidential candidates to make the issue a priority. So far, not even now-candidate Dodd has done so.

The Take Backers may be Utopians, but they are also realists. So, alas, they are selling vacations as good for families, health and even corporate productivity.

“This is not about slacking, not about being lazy,” campaign spokesman Joe Robinson made clear.

“Vacations are as important to your health as checking your cholesterol or getting exercise.” Gee, maybe I should schedule a colonoscopy while I’m away from my desk.

What if vacations weren’t good for anything except feeling good? Don’t we deserve them anyway? When will we win the right to be lazy? m

Fantasticks Voyage Theater review: The Fantasticks

R

ural agriculture’s decline has yielded an unexpected artistic dividend: some amazing acoustical spaces for music and theater. Bleating and mooing once echoed off the warm, worn timbers that now STORY frame two of central Vermont’s best sumELISABETH mer stages. Dialogue is easy to hear at CREAN Unadilla’s former sheep barn, which hosts between three and five plays each year, The Fantasticks, plus an always rollicking Gilbert and directed and Sullivan operetta. And Waitsfield’s produced by Skinner Barn, once the hillside home to a Peter Boynton.

The Skinner Barn, herd of heifers, now reverberates with Waitsfield. August Broadway-caliber crooning and hoofing.

15-19, 8 p.m. $18.

Putting on theater where farmers once put up hay requires energy and vision. The driving force behind Skinner’s success is Peter Boynton, a former New York City-based TV, film and stage actor. As the Barn’s owner and artistic director, he brings together Big Apple performers with Vermont’s best — some with big-city credits themselves — for a vibrant summer season.

Skinner’s slate of Broadway cabarets, barn dances and youth theater camps concludes with a play — usually a musical. Last year’s moving Sea Marks was the world premiere of a fresh, music-infused version of Gardner McKay’s quirky Irish romance, and 2005’s wild Bat Boy: The Musical was the Vermont debut of a tabloid-inspired comic-horror romp.

This year’s show, The Fantasticks, occupies more comfortable song-anddance territory. But Boynton (who produced, directed and starred) and his cast make the familiar fetching and fun with their airy enthusiasm, arch wit and Aone singing chops.

The music was the star. The uniformly strong cast exemplified theatrical singing at its best.

Since 1960, when The Fantasticks first opened on a small stage in Greenwich Village, the show has garnered lukewarm reception from critics. The unabashedly silly love story mixes theatrical traditions with the subtlety of a Cuisinart. But while “experts” bemoaned the pastiche, audiences came. And kept coming.

Playing from the Eisenhower era to the days of “W” — 42 years and 17,162 performances — the show became the longest-running musical in history.

Regional, community theater and school productions carried it to 50 states and 67 countries. Just four years elapsed between the close of the original show and last year’s off-Broadway “revival.”

The secret to The Fantasticks? The crazy blend offers something for everyone: tender romance, madcap mayhem, poetry and lunacy.

Creators Tom Jones (book and lyrics — and, no, not the sexy Welsh singer) and Harvey Schmidt (music) drew their initial inspiration from Edmond Rostand’s play Les Romanesques, which inverts the star-crossed affair of Romeo and Juliet. Instead of young lovers overcoming a real family feud, fathers pre-

tend-fight, hoping to draw their children together using reverse psychology.

Cloaked by moonlight, starry-eyed Luisa and Matt communicate through a garden wall, like mythic sweethearts Pyramus and Thisbe.

A narrator, the seductive Spaniard El Gallo, helps relay the tale. He ruminates with a few Shakespearean-inspired passages of quiet reflection, but primarily El Gallo becomes the bandito who leads the dads and kids into trouble. He goads the fathers into paying him and his acting associates to stage a faux “first-class abduction” of Luisa. El Gallo cleverly markets the stunt as a way to resolve the “feud” so that Matt feels he has won Luisa in a public and manly way.

The “rescue” goes well, but young love — so appealing in the moon’s furtive shadows — pales in the sunlight. The fathers’ friendship sours as well. Both Luisa and Matt go off to seek the excitement they’ve read about in books. Will the world reward or disappoint them?

Will they find their way back home, and to each other? For both Romeo and Juliet and Pyramus and Thisbe, love stories end with his-and-her matching tombs. But this audience-pleasing musical never makes it to the cemetery.

Jones and Schmidt’s original Fantasticks was an ultra low-budget affair. Its stripped-down production elements drew from the Italian Commedia dell’Arte tradition: Characters are seen on stage as a traveling troupe of actors, working with trunks of basic props; tricks of the trade are not concealed from the audience and become part of the comedy. The show is not humbled by its simplicity, but rather delights in it.

This approach is enhanced by the rustic aesthetic of the Skinner Barn, where the proscenium arch is the old hayloft’s posts and beams. A small, raised, wood platform with scaffolding serves as the center-stage “set.” The actors move benches, chairs and stools as needed, and dip into the trunks for wardrobe and weaponry.

A trio of supporting performers manipulated many of the props and supplied much of the physical comedy.

For example, The Mute, played with poise by Matt Trollinger, mimed the garden wall with a stick, and created rain over the lovers by dropping confetti through twigs. Two hoary “old actors,” who climbed out of one trunk, created half a dozen over-the-top characters with threadbare costumes, greasepaint and gumption. One of them, Jim Hogue, is better known in the Green Mountains for his perennial portrayals of Ethan Allen. But he was uproariously funny as the fright-haired, lipstickwearing, not-so-master thespian Henry, whose Shakespearean lines had more holes than his tattered long johns.

Doug Bernstein played Mortimer, his hygiene-challenged partner in theatrical crime, with equal comedic relish.

But the music was the star. The uniformly strong cast exemplified theatrical singing at its best, in which voices reflected character rather than performers trying to outshine each other. And the Barn gave its best, too, with clear, resonant acoustics that allowed singers to avoid that bane of modern musicals, the wireless microphone.

Boynton, dashing and dastardly as El Gallo, opened the show with a simple yet surprisingly powerful rendition of “Try to Remember,” The Fantasticks’ contribution to the show-standards canon. His interpretation blended radiance and melancholy, and his honeyed baritone made for lean-in listening. This captivating kickoff established a mellow romantic vibe, an emotional center that the show ultimately recaptured with the finale’s reprise of the song. Try not to hum it wistfully for days afterwards.

As Luisa and Matt, Micaela Mendicino and Lane Gibson Jr. made a charming pair of clueless lovebirds.

Mendicino’s wide eyes and floaty, balletdancer body language conveyed a girl gripped by naïve fancies and fantasies.

Gibson perfectly conjured the cute

nerd, given to meteorological love metaphors, by dressing, speaking and moving with measured squareness. The couple’s appealing voices blended well, each retaining a slightly green, character-appropriate edge.

Joe Garofalo as Matt’s no-nonsense dad Hucklebee, and Tim Barden as Luisa’s nebbishy father Bellomy, captured the delightful exasperation and well-meaning bumbling of parenthood.

The frustrated fathers also harmonized delightfully. Their hilarious duet, “Never Say No,” crystallized an eternal parenting paradox. “Why did the kids pour jam on the cat? . . . Why should the kids do something like that? / When all that we said was no?” In the audience, guilty-as-charged grownups remembering their own defiant-kid ways, grinned sheepishly.

Music Director Jono Mainelli, a Broadway vet, accompanied the singers energetically from the piano, supported brilliantly by 18-year-old harpist Rebecca Lewis. Ryan Shaefer’s oboe occasionally veered off pitch, but his percussion work was on target. James McNamara’s lighting design was effective overall, given the limited number of places to hang lights. (Actors did step beyond lit areas from time to time.)

The costumes were terrific, especially the old actors’ pirate rags, El Gallo’s sleek black bandito ensemble and Hucklebee’s goofy white pants with redand-navy Holstein spots.

With its wafer-thin plot, cheesy puns and odd shifts of tone, The Fantasticks seems to ask for a theatrical spanking. But even jaded New Yorkers couldn’t resist its charms, for four decades. Maybe the show — imperfect yet somehow irresistible — speaks to each of us about our flawed humanity.

The magical Skinner production captivated me with sonorous singing. Then it reminded me to apologize to my mom, again, for the prolonged rebelwithout-a-clue childhood phase.

Perhaps, this time, in song. m

Snooze through the zoning debate and you might lose something big — like your voice story: ken picard

images: andy duback

Let’s get this out of the way up front: There’s nothing sexy about the Burlington zoning rewrite. Slather it in lipstick, dress it up in a cocktail dress, cram it into a push-up bra and put an icy cold beer in its hand, and you still won’t get 99 percent of the population to pay attention.

So it was somewhat shocking, on a recent gorgeous August evening, to find Burlington’s City Hall Auditorium jammed with people waiting to testify at a public hearing on the subject. Even more surprising was the number of citizens who stuck around for three to four hours to testify. Each speaker got a whopping two minutes before a loud “BEEP!” announced it was time to surrender the microphone.

Meanwhile, Burlington has invested six years and nearly a half-million dollars rewriting its citywide zoning ordinance. The result is a veritable mountain of new rules and regulations — hundreds of pages of documents and dozens of additional amendments, many of which were introduced in the last two months.

Despite the size of the taxpayer investment, residents and local businesspeople are clearly uneasy about the speed with which they’re being asked to process all that information.

One of the more contentious issues on the pile is also one of the most difficult to explain — a proposal to adopt “on-the-record review” for all major projects under consideration in downtown. This relatively minor and arcane change in protocol may seem trivial [read: boring] to the average Joe. For one, it only affects the functioning of the Development Review Board, a quasi-judicial body that most people know nothing about and probably will never encounter. Nevertheless, this seven-member panel of unpaid volunteers ultimately decides what does or does not get built in Burlington.

So why are so many Burlingtonians getting apoplectic over what amounts to a procedural fix?

Several reasons. For one, DRB decisions can have serious repercussions for years, even decades, to come. They can affect everything from the number of parking spaces in downtown to the availability of affordable housing and the height and setback of buildings along the waterfront. For example, the much-maligned Courtyard Marriott got the DRB’s blessing.

To understand how on-the-record review would play out, consider how Queen City building projects are evaluated now. When a developer proposes, say, a new townhouse in the Old North End, the plan undergoes a comprehensive review by the DRB to ensure that it meets all the city’s zoning and design criteria. For instance, does it fit in with the scale and character of the neighborhood? Does it include adequate parking for tenants? Will there be adequate stormwater runoff protections? How will it affect the flow of pedestrians and traffic? And so on.

Currently, DRB hearings are more or less informal. Granted, witnesses are sworn in before they testify — under penalty of perjury — and their comments are taped and duly noted in the minutes. However, the hearing lacks the formal rules and protocols of a court proceeding. There’s no judge, stenographer or official transcript, and witnesses frequently testify without help from an attorney. Moreover,

unlike court, the DRB allows the public to throw in their own two cents, either by voicing their views in person at a public hearing, or by submitting them in writing.

If someone disagrees with a DRB decision — say, a neighbor objects that a new condo complex will tower over his secluded backyard — he or she can go to Vermont Environmental Court in Barre, pay a fee and file an appeal.

(Environmental Court also hears Act 250 appeals, but that’s another story.) Under the current system, the court then conducts what’s known as a de novo review of the facts. In essence, the slate is wiped clean and each party presents its case as though none of the previous deliberations had ever taken place. It’s the legal equivalent of a schoolyard “Do-over!” — albeit, a very expensive, stressful and time-consuming one.

What’s wrong with that system? Supporters of on-the-record review say that it essentially gives opponents of a project two bites from the same apple. A builder who’s already spent thousands of dollars and many months parading their experts and studies in front of the DRB must now repeat the entire process in Environmental Court. Ditto for all the public comment on the project.

What’s good about de novo review is that new information can be discovered, presented and entered into evidence, new witnesses called, opposing experts cross-examined, etc. In

fact, the developer can even present a proposal modified from the one first shown to the DRB. Supporters of de novo review say that this extended legal review gives the public sufficient time to really consider the project.

Finally, after both sides have pleaded their case, a judge decides whether or not the project should proceed. If one party still disagrees with the decision, the ruling can then be appealed to the Vermont Supreme Court.

That game would change considerably, however, if Burlington decided to adopt onthe-record review. In the event a DRB decision were appealed, the Environmental Court judge would consider only the facts that were first presented to the DRB — generally speaking, no new findings would be allowed. DRB hearings would become more formal and complex, and the rules of evidence closer to those in a courtroom. Testimony heard before the DRB would be considered admissible and “on-therecord” evidence — hence the name — each side presenting its case as though this were the final consideration of the facts. In effect, the judge’s role would simply be to determine whether the DRB applied the law correctly.

It all sounds very civilized, but passions run high on both sides of the issue. Futhermore, those “sides” are not what you might imagine. This is not a battle between big, greedy developers and neighbor-

hood activists. Nor is it a debate over big government versus small government, liberal versus conservative, or pro-growth versus antigrowth. There are developers for and against OTR review. Ditto historic preservationists, anti-sprawl proponents and affordable housing advocates. About the only generalization that can be made is that both sides feel strongly and claim to want to preserve public involvement in the permitting process.

John Ewing, founder of the Vermont Forum on Sprawl and former chair of the Vermont Environmental Board, is a strong supporter of the on-the-record review. “I think it’s an excellent idea for downtown Burlington,” he says.

“It’s very critical that Burlington have as level a playing field as possible with development in the suburbs. We want to attract good businesses to downtown. The way it is right now, it’s becoming more and more handicapped in favor of the suburbs.”

Meanwhile, Burlington builder-developer Melinda Moulton, whose projects have included Main Street Landing and the Lake and College building, is against the amendment.

She says that her tasteful, eco-friendly projects wouldn’t have been nearly as successful had they not incorporated the input generated by the current system.

“Main Street Landing believes that the process really worked for us,” Moulton says.

“When people are allowed to think about what’s happening and bring in new ideas, it does nothing but create a better process. We’ve never been afraid of that.”

Critics of on-the-record review include the nonprofit groups Preservation Burlington, Citizens for a Livable City and several members of the Burlington Planning Commission, among others. They argue that OTR review is an inherently unfair and anti-democratic system that favors moneyed interests. They contend that it reduces citizen participation because it turns every DRB hearing, no matter how big or small, into a costly and protracted legal fight.

“If citizens don’t have the expertise or time to conduct a thorough review, then those questions don’t ever get asked,” notes Ann Vivian, a local architect and president of Preservation Burlington. “There’s more potential for flawed information getting through the process.”

As Vivian explains, DRB hearings are often the first opportunity for members of the public to scrutinize the details of a project — unlike the developers, who know their projects inside and out. As a result, it’s difficult to process all that new information and challenge it at the same time. And, since on-the-record review gives all interested parties just one opportunity to argue the facts, she and others say it would force opponents of a project to come into every DRB hearing “loaded for bear.”

Burlington attorney and planning commission member Norm Williams also opposes onthe-record review. Several years ago, he represented a group of neighbors in their fight to stop a 27-unit affordable housing complex in the Old North End. The project, known as Roosevelt Apartments, was proposed by the Burlington Community Land Trust. It would have been built behind Burgess Electric at 102 Archibald Street.

Neighbors there had several objections to the project; the primary complaint was that it was out of scale with the neighborhood and lacked adequate parking. The DRB approved the project, but that decision was appealed to Environmental Court. In 2005, the court killed it on the grounds that BCLT’s parking survey had been inadequate.

Williams contends that had on-the-record review been in place, the Roosevelt Apartments likely would have been built. As he points out, neighbors there didn’t know much about the project or the site until the case went through the legal discovery process, which unearthed lots of new information.

For example, neighbors found out that the

neighborhood parking “study” offered by the developer wasn’t a scientific study at all, just an informal telephone survey. Moreover, Williams adds, it wasn’t until the case went to court that they discovered toxic contamination on the site.

“As it was, the neighbors had to scramble” for information, Williams says. “In this case, discovery was key. You can’t know in advance how important it is.” Under OTR review, he adds, the public never would have had a chance to cross-examine the experts and refute their assertions.

Finally, skeptics of OTR review are asking why this change needs to be made at all.

According to the Department of Planning and Zoning, only a small percentage of all DRB decisions ever get appealed to Environmental Court — in fiscal 2006, only eight of the board’s 88 decisions were challenged in court; in FY 2007, just one of 74 decisions was litigated. As Planning Commission member Ralph Montefusco puts it, “It’s not exactly clear how much of a problem this really is in Burlington.

Exactly what are we trying to fix here?”

Lack of affordable housing?

Not-in-my-backyard selfishness? Threats to the public good? Supporters of on-the-record review — including Burlington’s Community and Economic Development Office, several members of the DRB and the Planning Commission, several city councilors and the Home Builders and Remodelers Association of Vermont — claim the current system allows the interests of a few people to outweigh the interests of everyone else. They point to several major projects proposed for downtown that have been wrapped up in litigation for years.

cilor, agrees. While he supports the idea of keeping neighbors involved in the process, he doesn’t think a small group of people should be able to “stonewall” development for selfish reasons. As he points out, 15 percent of the units in 114 College are required by law to be affordable. “[The opponents] are saying, ‘You’re stripping away rights from residents,’” Ashe says.

“The flipside to that is, I’m trying to provide affordable homes to people who don’t have them.” And, he adds, the longer these court battles drag on, the less affordable those homes become.

A similar fight is being waged on Lakeview Terrace, where a 25-unit condo complex proposed in the old Cornell Trading Company warehouse at 237 North Avenue has been stalled in the courts since June 2005. Miro Weinberger is a partner at the Hartland Group, which proposed the project.

Weinberger says that three households have spent a minimal amount of money fighting his project — less than $10,000, according to Alan Bjerke, one of the plaintiffs. However, the Hartland Group has spent “in the neighborhood of $100,000” in legal fees, carrying costs and other expenses — all of which, Weinberger adds, will drive up the cost of those units if or when they get built.

More importantly, Weinberger says, all the feedback that 15 to 20 other residents in the community provided to the DRB was lost entirely. Those people who weren’t a party to the lawsuit or called to testify, he explains, were effectively shut out of the process. In the words of Brian Pine, CEDO’s assistant director for housing and neighborhood revitalization,

tion at the local level. That may explain why only a small number of municipalities in the state employ it. According to the Vermont League of Cities and Towns, fewer than a dozen of Vermont’s 246 municipalities use onthe-record review. Only one is comparable in size to the Queen City: South Burlington.

John Dinklage chairs the South Burlington DRB, which has used on-the-record review for years. Speaking on his own behalf, and not his board’s, he says he believes OTR review has given his board more “teeth” so that applicants are compelled to be more thorough and honest in their responses.

“To the best of my knowledge, we’ve had no complaints, and it has not been an issue in South Burlington,” Dinklage says. “In my opinion, it doesn’t cut out the public. It forces the public to use the process as it is intended: to get local people involved early, and to try to resolve issues at the local level, if possible, so you don’t fight things out in court.”

Other communities have had less success with OTR review. Mark Leonard is the zoning administrator in Morristown. He says Morristown used OTR for several years, but found it too burdensome because the town lacked the staff and expertise to write decisions that met the stringent standards applied in court. Frequently, Leonard says, the court would send decisions back to the DRB and instruct it to re-do them. “Finally, we said, ‘Nah. It’s not worth it.” That said, Leonard suggests that a city the size of Burlington should have the staff and resources to do what Morristown could not.

Interestingly, one of the few people who hasn’t weighed in is the man who would actu-

When it comes to building affordable housing, I look at on-the-record review as the only way we’re ever going to dig ourselves out of the NIMBY factor.

LIZ CURRY, CHAMPLAIN HOUSING TRUST OTR proponents argue that on-the-record review isn’t about speeding development and making life easier for builders. Instead, it’s about restoring fairness to the process, controlling costs — for citizens and the city, as well as builders — and keeping permit decisions in the hands of local citizens who live and work in the city.

Paul Sprayregen, owner of Investors Corporation of Vermont, has built some of the most prominent buildings in Burlington over the last 25 years, including Park Plaza, 40 Main Street and One Burlington Square. Three years ago, ICV proposed a 50-unit, $16 million apartment building at the corner of College and Pine streets. The project, known as 114 College, received DRB approval, but four residents in an adjacent building filed suit, claiming that, among other things, the new high-rise would block their views of Lake Champlain and the Adirondacks. Now, after three years of litigation, Sprayregen says he’s spent more on legal fees than he did buying the land.

“The way it is now, you don’t even have to attend the [DRB] hearings or voice any concerns at the local level,” Sprayregen says. “You can bring up any issue you like in Environmental Court, whether it’s germane or not, whether there’s been testimony at the DRB level or not. It’s never-ending, and in my opinion, it’s been used to abuse the process.”

Tim Ashe, a Progressive Ward 3 city coun-

“All that public testimony, all that time that citizens took to come out and make their voices heard, is flushed down the toilet. That strikes me as very antidemocratic.”

Pine’s wife, Liz Curry, works on affordable housing projects in Franklin County — not in Burlington — as a project developer with the Champlain Housing Trust. In late 2005, Curry worked on an affordable housing complex in St. Albans, one of the few municipalities in Vermont that uses OTR review. Contrary to critics’ fears, she says, OTR review actually gave the neighbors more opportunity to have their concerns addressed because it put the developer on the record and didn’t allow him to “wiggle around” neighbors’ concerns.

“When it comes to building affordable housing,” Curry adds, “I look at on-the-record review as the only way we’re ever going to dig ourselves out of the NIMBY factor.”

Unquestionably, on-the-record review requires more work, staff training and prepara-

ally have to administer that change. Austin Hart chairs the Burlington DRB. Speaking on his own behalf, and not for his fellow board members, Hart says he was open to the idea of a pilot project for OTR review when it was proposed a year ago. He still thinks the system can work, noting it would allow people who live and work in Burlington — not some judge in another part of the state — to decide the best way for Burlington to grow.

“It seems there’s a fair amount of paranoia out there about what the motives would be for going to on-the-record review,” Hart says. “That doesn’t have to be the result, if we do it well.” m

Writer’s Craft Floating ideas with literary legend Jay Parini

ay Parini may be one of this country’s most distinguished men of letters. But his summer study is missing a few basic implements. Like, um, a printer.

And a front door.

STORY During the academic year, Parini MIKE usually starts the day writing poetry IVES in Carol’s Hungry Mind Café on Merchant’s Row in Middlebury. From IMAGES there, he heads to class or his campus MATTHEW office for the afternoon. But during THORSEN June, July and August, he likes to read, write and chill aboard his 25foot motorboat, Fishin Impossible.

Although his approach to literary production may seem oddly informal, there’s nothing casual about Parini’s career: Since the early 1970s, when he began publishing in Scottish newspapers, Parini, 59, has been banging out poems, essays, novels, biographies and articles on topics ranging from small-town baseball to early-20th-century German intellectuals. Although he travels around the world giving readings and lectures, for 25 years Parini has always returned to the environs of Middlebury College, where he’s an English professorcum-amateur-b-baller.

Eight years ago, around the time he traded his old boat for this one, he published a biography of Robert Frost that went on to win the Chicago Tribune Heartland Award for best nonfiction book. These days, he still scores book and article contracts as if they were lay-ups on a kids’ basket.

How does the writer pull it off? On

J

a recent Wednesday afternoon, I climb aboard Fishin Impossible to find out.

The journey on Lake Champlain offers a rare glimpse into the creative process of one of Vermont’s most celebrated, albeit unassuming, cultural icons.

Fishin Impossible lives on Otter Creek at Tom’s Marine Service in Vergennes. When I meet Parini there, he’s dressed in a pale yellow T-shirt and green khaki shorts. The professor’s grin stretches from ear to ear; his face is lathered generously with suntan lotion, so that some of the gunk has settled behind his ears. If it weren’t for a shiny bald spot and a pair of thick glasses, he could be an oversized kid looking for frogs. “The best thing about Lake Champlain is that there’s hardly anyone on it,” he says cheerfully, without drawing attention to the fact that it’s a weekday. “That’s OK with me!”

In high-summer style, Parini starts up the motor, then bids me pour out two glasses of iced tea. For 20 minutes, we putter down the creek — “like in Heart of Darkness,” he suggests. While he steers, I look around his cabin. On the small plastic table next to the iced tea sits a book of Robert Frost’s poetry and a thin spiral notebook. Keeping one eye on the horizon, Parini explains that he’s co-writing a screenplay about the poet’s life.

That’s just the tip of his literary iceberg. Turns out the professor has a hand in a slew of other projects.

For instance, he’s working on a play, Mary Postgate — based on a Rudyard Kipling short story — and a nonfiction book entitled Promised Land: Thirteen Books that Shaped America (forthcoming from Doubleday). Another nonfiction effort, Why Poetry Matters, comes out next year from Yale University Press. A film adaptation of Parini’s novel The Last Station, which chronicles the last year of Tolstoy’s life, begins shooting next year in Russia. That flick will star — ahem — Meryl Streep and Sir Anthony Hopkins. Oh, and he has two other novels “in the vault.” One of them, called Anderson Depot, is set during the American Civil War. With the sun out in full force, we hit the open lake with our bow aimed straight for the Adirondacks. Parini steps on the accelerator, and the icedtea pitcher goes flying, soaking the book and the notebook with Marx Brothers slapstick flair. I scramble on my hands and knees, observing, “I ruined your movie, Jay!” “Don’t worry about that!” he shouts over the motor. “Just get a towel, will you!”

I wipe down the books, stow them in the cabin, then return to the cockpit. At 30 miles per hour, the wind alleviates the heat. True to Parini’s claim, there are only a handful of other vessels out here today, most of them sailboats. As we begin heading north toward Kingsland Bay State Park, the writer points out notable

landmarks. Straight ahead is Point Bay Marina. On a bluff to our right looms a craggy mansion. “Look at that,” Parini notes, raising his eyebrows. “It’s like something out of Wuthering Heights” — Emily Brontë’s dark novel set in mid-19th-century northern England.

Parini doesn’t live in a spooky English castle, but he does exude a palpable literary mystique. Though born in gritty Scranton, Pennsylvania, he’s spent many years of his adult life living in the U.K. and Italy, all the while rubbing shoulders with some of the world’s most renowned authors.

Back in the early ’70s, for instance, he studied with the Scottish poet and essayist Alastair Reid while completing graduate work at the University of St. Andrews. His neighbor in Italy was the American writer and social critic Gore Vidal.

Now, having established himself as a prominent wordsmith, Parini appears to get more speaking offers than a presidential candidate. The author, who still writes on literary topics for the London-based newspaper The Guardian, recently toured Belarus, Jordan, Egypt, Palestine and Israel as a U.S. State Departmentsponsored lecturer on American literature and writing. Next year, the government has arranged for him to talk in Morocco. “I’ve always been a little peripatetic since I was 19,” he says modestly as we catch a mooring in Kingsland Bay. In spite of his internationalism,

SEVEN DAYS | august 15-22, 2007 | feature 27A

however, Parini remains . . . well, a guy who grew up in Scranton. Once we’ve caught a mooring in Kingsland Bay, he changes into a pair of goofy red swim trunks emblazoned with little anchors. We dive into the lake and float around for 40 minutes, neither of us attempting much more than pseudo-doggie paddle. “When I’m swimming, I feel like I’m part fish!” he jokes at one point.

That may sound silly coming from a guy who has been on the fiction jury for the National Book Award. But for this writer, kicking back isn’t merely a distraction from the real world. Handing me a microbrew back on the boat, Parini explains that “creative leisure” is a vital ingredient in his creative stew. Just like a café, this boat offers time and space for inspiration to bubble up. “Frost once said that he was very lazy, and that it was the only way he could get anything done,” Parini explains. “I could never get anything done if I didn’t have an immense amount of free time.”

That doesn’t mean all his days are “productive” in the conventional sense. As we sip our drinks on this sunny afternoon,

I’m turned off by the commercialization of America and the right-wing politics,” he admits. “I can’t even read the papers . . .

Even The New York Times gives me a lot of trouble.”

Though Parini might be tempted to tune out entirely, in the tradition of so many other disillusioned American writers — e.g., fellow boating enthusiast Ernest Hemingway — he says he never will. A vocal opponent of the Iraq war, he feels “a duty to contribute to the [public] discourse in any way I can.” That explains why he periodically takes breaks from his various literary projects to contribute to The Chronicle of Higher Education, Vermont Life magazine and Vermont Public Radio. “I’m always complaining about American intellectual life,” Parini adds, “so I’d feel like a hypocrite if I didn’t have an oar in the water.”

Fortunately for this thinker, literature — like his boat — offers an easy escape from world events. As the sun starts to drop behind the Adirondacks, Parini gushes about the power of the written word, but in a tone that’s still conversational and unpretentious. He recalls

Meanwhile, it’s about time to head home.

Parini pauses to ogle a polished wooden motorboat that’s moving across the harbor.

Into Thin Errors Book review: Forever on the Mountain: The Truth Behind One of Mountaineering’s Most Controversial and Mysterious Disasters

F STORY

SARAH TUFF Forever on the Mountain: The Truth Behind One of Mountaineering’s Most Controversial and Mysterious Disasters by James M. Tabor, W.W. Norton, 400 pages. $26.95.

James Tabor will discuss Forever on the Mountain on August 22, at Barnes & Noble, South Burlington, 7 p.m.

orty years ago, 12 men registered as the Wilcox Expedition climbed toward the summit of Alaska’s Mount McKinley, the highest peak in North America at 20,320 feet. Only five of them came down alive. What happened in between is the chilling subject of Forever on the Mountain: The Truth Behind One of Mountaineering’s Most Controversial and Mysterious Disasters, by Waitsfield author James M. Tabor.

Also known as Denali, or “The Great One,” McKinley is one of the wildest places on the planet for climbers. As Tabor points out in the first chapter of Forever on the Mountain, the mountain has a circumference of 60 miles and the world’s highest base-tosummit elevation: Everest may be taller, but rises only 12,000 feet from its base.

McKinley’s summit towers 18,000 feet from the Alaskan tundra. A photo in the book shows McKinley in comparison with surrounding mountains: Peaks the size of Vermont’s Mount Mansfield and Camel’s Hump are tiny foothills viewed against the Great One’s girth and height.

could think of McKinley as a battlefield,” writes Tabor, “rich with threat from every conceivable direction, as military battlefields are.”

All this makes McKinley a captivating place for climbers. “An opportunity to enter the realm of myth and icon is one reason why climbers climb,” explains Tabor — who attempted to climb McKinley himself in 1981, but turned back at 14,000 feet.

As a journalist, Tabor has covered an outdoor beat, writing for Outside and Ski magazines and hosting the PBS series “The Great Outdoors.” In 2004 he stumbled upon The Hall of the Mountain King, an account by survivor Howard Snyder of the 1967 expedition in which seven climbers died. Tabor followed that read with fellow survivor Joe Wilcox’s book about the tragedy, White Winds. But he was still stumped by lingering questions. What really happened up on the mountain? Why were the mountaineers not rescued? And why were the deaths of seven men not thoroughly investigated by officials?

The answers are as complicated and captivating as McKinley itself. As John Krakauer showed in his 1998 bestseller Into Thin Air: A Personal Account of the Mount Everest Disaster, reading about botched

one of his chapters, was partly to blame for the deaths, he also studied forensic meteorology.

Weather quickly becomes a major character in the narrative, and Tabor describes its brutality in riveting detail.

July is typically the best window of time in which to climb Mount McKinley.

But that July, a nearly two-week storm pummeled the peak during the Wilcox Expedition’s attempt to get up — and then off — the mountain. Tabor describes the wind that howls with hurricane force: “A couple of them [the climbers] are surfers, and this feels as though they are being smashed by a huge wave. During especially violent gusts, they drop to their hands and knees and claw their way along, depending on their ice axes to keep them stuck to the mountain.”

In writing Forever on the Mountain, Tabor became not just a meteorologist but an anthropologist. He studied artifacts from a unique climbers’ civilization and spliced them into his own experiences to surmise what it must have been like for the 12 men on McKinley when their personalities clashed. Weather wasn’t their only enemy. The Wilcox expedition was actually two separate groups who had to merge for logistical, permit-related reasons, and tensions among the men were already high when they began climbing.

the climbers themselves. He shows how miscommunications can cause major, deadly mistakes — for mountaineers, the book is a reminder of how human error can add to technological hassles to create tragic confusion.

Tabor’s writing is strongest when he describes life on McKinley for the members of the doomed expedition.

Instead of questioning the mountaineers’ motives and the sanity of people who want to climb a 20,320-foot peak, he reveals the allure of ascents, including both bittersweet and lighthearted moments that add color to the stark, white face of the mountain. He shows how the climbers labored over a latrine made from snow: “One of the expedition’s more memorable photographs shows Walt’s ‘throne’ — 6-foothigh walls, crenellated battlements, climbing-wand ‘banners’ flying from the turrets — and Dennis Luchterhand, happily ensconced on the Blazo-slat seat, peering back over his shoulder with a magnificent grin.”

In Tabor’s mind, the most striking photograph he uncovered in his research is one of the group at 8100 feet, two weeks before everything went seriously downhill. “Sometimes, if you look long enough at a photograph, something happens that’s not unlike the eerie feeling you get (I do, anyway) after staring a long while at your own

What really happened up on the mountain? Why were the mountaineers not rescued?

And why were the deaths of seven men not thoroughly investigated by officials?

McKinley, whose latitude makes it a far harsher place than Everest, brews up its own storms that wallop summer days with temperatures of minus-40 and winds of 150 miles per hour.

Snowfall disguises deadly crevasses, while high altitudes cause hallucinations, blindness and convulsions. “You

expeditions offers a certain mix of sympathy and schadenfreude to mountaineers and armchair alpinists alike. And because, like Krakauer, Tabor is a climber, he can probe the 1967 McKinley accident as a true authority.

Unlike Krakauer, however, who was on Everest when eight people died, Tabor wasn’t there to witness what happened in 1967.

(Now 59, he was 19 at the time.) So to research Forever on the Mountain, he pored over government records and interviewed survivors. Because “a most unusual storm,” as Tabor titles

Tabor explains how such irritation can mount on an expedition, “when you are tied — literally, to the very climbers who may be driving you to homicidal rage with their offensive jokes, vile farts, overbearing personalities, snoring, filthy habits, snotty beards — to name only a fraction of the ways that climbers grate on one another’s nerves.”

There were no actual homicides on McKinley in July 1967. But to readers of Forever on the Mountain, the slowness of responders and rescuers — who were tangled in red tape — may seem criminal. Tabor carefully examines the culpability of the National Park Service, the National Forest Service, the American Alpine Club and the Alaska Rescue Group in the disaster, as well as that of

eyes in a mirror,” he writes. “So I pored over photos of the seven dead and five living men for hours, looking for . . . what? Some premonitory clue, perhaps?

Some eerie light showing through the ‘windows on the soul’ that a camera might capture but would escape the naked eye? Well, yes, but equally I sought other, more tangible details.”

Tabor does not find his answers in the eyes of the climbers. Rather, it’s through his own eyes, as a climber himself, that he illuminates the mystery of the terrible things that transpired in July 1967 on McKinley. m Got a comment on this story or ideas for another one?

TAKING NOTE OF VISUAL VERMONT

Mystic Meditations

I IMAGE Matthew Thorsen

n the solitude of the Ripton woods, a 49-year-old painter is painstakingly producing some of the most exquisite abstractions in America today. Rebecca Purdum’s all-enveloping dreamscapes of unnamable colors have earned her critical acclaim and attracted collectors from New York and beyond. But she remains virtually unknown in Vermont 13 years after moving here with her husband, Tom Moran, who is now chairman of the Chinese department at Middlebury College.

Her debut show in the Green Mountains may have ended the era of Purdum’s local obscurity, however.

Three of her large-scale canvasses were enough to set an entire room aglow in the Middlebury College Museum of Art, which hosted the tantalizing exhibit that closed last week. Emmie

creation. The visions she conjures seem to have magically appeared on canvas; there’s no trace of human agency in the form of brushstrokes or even finger marks. Purdum applies paint mainly with her hands — initially because she couldn’t afford to buy brushes. But now she uses oversized rubber gloves rather than the surgeon’s gloves that, she says, left the signs of physical involvement she wished to obliterate.

The point, Purdum emphasizes, is to allow a painting to become itself.

Unavoidably, she says, her

Abstraction is challenging because it gives no clues about what to do next. It demands we see, not judge.

REBECCA PURDUM

Donadio, the museum’s chief curator, says the pieces she selected for the show resonated with the force of revelation.

Purdum’s mysterious, misty compositions pulled some viewers back again and again for immersion in her meditative tones and textures.

David Bumbeck, a nationally known printmaker and former head of Middlebury’s art department, took in Purdum’s show five times during its seven-week run. “I was overwhelmed,” he says. “Her work is absolutely astonishing. She’s one of the greatest living artists I’ve seen.”

Purdum’s paintings offer a purely visual experience. They have no recognizable subject matter, nor do they elicit associations with the material world.

Her work has been likened to the studies in color and light that Turner conducted via his sea scenes and Monet undertook in his waterlilies series. But Purdum’s style is not derivative in the least. Her paintings have no obvious antecedents, yet she is able to discuss them with clarity, which is rare among artists who plumb spiritual depths.

The 9-foot-tall piece that centered her show and the two horizontal diptychs on flanking walls were all painted in “blue non-colors,” she explains. That may sound cryptic to someone who hasn’t seen Purdum’s work. But it’s an apt description of canvasses covered with a variety of oils that somehow coheres into a whole independent of its parts.

This paradoxical effect reflects what Purdum describes as her “love/hate relationship with color.” She clearly revels in the sensuousness of the hues she uses, even as she strives to neuter their individual identities — because, she says, color’s impact is “so strong, too strong, always pulling one way and then the other.”

Purdum aims to affirm the integrity of a painting by erasing herself from its

own thoughts and emotions spill onto a surface as she begins to apply whichever color is most plentiful in her paint box.

“One by one, these ideas and feelings go away,” she relates. “My argument becomes weaker and weaker until there’s only the painting left.”

This transition can be a trance-like process. That was the case with “Passenger,” one of the roughly 10foot-long diptychs that hung in the Middlebury show. “I really felt carried along by this painting,” Purdum recounts in a recent conversation at the museum. She points to a dense, dark expanse at the top of “Passenger,” which, she explains, serves to keep the otherwise radiant piece “earth-bound.”

Similar boundary markers can be discerned in “Static,” the show’s centerpiece, as well as in some of the earlier paintings that Purdum chooses to display during a visit to her studio.

“Static,” painted last year, does have the bluish complexion the painter notes. But the perimeter of the piece has been scraped into a flatness that forms a sort of frame, accentuated by vertical orange slashes. This arrangement emerged in order to focus the viewer’s eye on the painting, Purdum suggests. After all, in her oeuvre, “the painting always directs what happens.”

If such pronouncements seem twee, be assured that Purdum is no poser.

She’s earnest but affable, demure but not coy. Clad in a tailored white shirt that complements her petite form, she seems dwarfed by the almost monumental paintings leaning against the white walls of her high-ceilinged studio, which is lit by four skylights. Purdum laughs easily, and speaks eagerly about her elusive works while avoiding the self-promotion

rife in urban markets. Yet she is very much a star in that scene.

Born in Idaho, Purdum was raised in California, Connecticut and other coastal states as her father, a U.S. Navy submarine captain, moved from port to port. Her mother was an amateur landscape and still-life painter. Purdum settled in Manhattan after graduating from Syracuse University, where she majored in art and discovered that “painting abstractly made perfect sense to me,” she says.

Her early career was steeped in selfdoubt. But Purdum summoned enough courage one day in 1984 to join a snaking queue of young artists waiting to have their slides assessed by Jack Tilton, owner of a prominent, eponymous Manhattan gallery. Purdum says she had long envisioned showing her paintings in this rounded corner space on West 57th Street, opened 20 years earlier by Betty Parsons. A sculptor as well as an art dealer, Parsons was a pioneering champion of painters who went on to become big names in Abstract Expressionism.

“That gallery was filled with ghosts,” Purdum reflects. Indeed, her Ripton studio contains a paint-splattered chip of flooring that she chiseled up when Tilton moved to his current space farther uptown.

Purdum beams as she recalls Tilton responding positively to her own slides after dismissing the samples presented by others in that line. A year later, she was included in a group show at the

gallery of her dreams, and several solo shows followed.

Purdum grew so successful during her 11-year sojourn in New York that she was able to earn a living solely from her art. But she doesn’t like talking about the business aspect of her career — she declines to reveal the prices her paintings fetch. They do sell quickly, however — in part because Purdum shows only once every few years. It takes her about four months to complete a painting, she says, and most of that time is spent staring at the canvas and considering what to do.

That sort of decision making isn’t easy, she notes. “The way we look at things every day doesn’t involve seeing but is rather about judging,” Purdum says. “We judge what we look at in order to know what to do next.

Abstraction is challenging because it gives no clues about what to do next. It demands we see, not judge.”

Purdum insists on stripping art down to its visual essence, ridding it of all recognizable references. She thereby strives to reinforce “the wall” that she sees ideally separating art from life. To Purdum, it’s a profound distinction reflected in her self-definition as a “painter” rather than an “artist.”

“Artists today have been breaking down the last bits of wall between art and life,” she says. “Abstract painters like myself are putting those bits back into place. My own materials and process work best behind the safety of that wall.” m

letters PUBLIC MEMBERS SOUGHT FOR ELECTRIC SYSTEM PLANNING COMMITTEE The Vermont Public Service Board seeks three public members and three alternates to serve on the Vermont System Planning Committee (VSPC). Each public member and alternate will represent the interests of one of the following groups: electric residential consumers; electric commercial and industrial consumers; and environmental protection. Alternates will attend VPSC meetings when public members are not available.

The VSPC is a new entity that will play a key role in a new planning process for Vermontâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s electric transmission system. This new planning process is designed to facilitate the full, fair and timely consideration of cost-effective non-transmission alternatives to new transmission projects. The VSPC will: (1) facilitate and support such consideration of non-transmission alternatives; (2) encourage and facilitate public involvement in Vermont transmission planning in general and in the consideration of specific projects; and (3) provide transparency and accountability to the Vermont transmission-planning process.

Other members of the VSPC will include representatives of each Vermont electric distribution and transmission utility, and three nonvoting participants, one each appointed by Vermontâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Energy Efficiency Utility, the Sustainably Priced Energy Enterprise Development Facilitator, and the Vermont Department of Public Service.

Additional information about the VSPC and its role in the new transmission-planning process is available on the Boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website at www.state.vt.us/psb/vspc/main.htm. The Board strongly encourages interested persons to review these materials.

Per diem and travel reimbursement will be provided.

LAY OFF WINOOSKI In the last two weeks of your so-called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sound Bitesâ&#x20AC;? [June 27 & July 4] music writer Dan Bolles has somehow felt obliged, in touting Winooskiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Monkey House, to counter with unsubstantiated â&#x20AC;&#x153;cheap shotsâ&#x20AC;? directed at our downtown architecture, student housing (Spinner Place) and finally this week our infamous â&#x20AC;&#x153;roundabout.â&#x20AC;? If we are to take you seriously as a real critic of Winooskiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s New Downtown, I would need to learn where you got your degrees in these diverse areas: building design, real estate development and traffic engineering. I would guess that there will be no proof of your expertise in these areas forthcoming. Anyone can sit in a cubicle on South Champlain and lob sarcastic remarks over the Winooski River at our Onion City re-development. But hopefully your readers are able to discern that these volleys are just a pathetic effort to sound a little more â&#x20AC;&#x153;hipâ&#x20AC;? to your readers. Any attempt to endear yourself with your readers at the expense of our fair city ought to be beneath a serious journalist, if you are one. The local media has been panning Winooski for so long that it has become every hackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s short cut to supposedly clever repartee.

Let me disabuse you of your mistaken impression that the City of Winooski is fair game for these cheap shots as a substitute for real writing ability. We are not and do not intend to be fodder for your unqualified critique of a community that has finally begun to take itself seriously. I would suggest that you save your â&#x20AC;&#x153;peanut galleryâ&#x20AC;? humor for a more gullible audience than the many Burlington-area residents who are beginning to realize this ainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t your fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Winooski, kid! Get a life and stick to what you know, not what you think you know.

FREE-WILL WORKERS This letter outlines information Lenox Williams and I conveyed to Mike Ives in our interview that was not correctly interpreted in the article [â&#x20AC;&#x153;Guest Treatment,â&#x20AC;? July 25].

To begin, the captioned â&#x20AC;&#x153;a limited livelihoodâ&#x20AC;? does not in any way represent how we view our positions at Basin Harbor, as we are not under any form of restriction. We are not forced to work more than 40 hours. All of Basin Harborâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s employees have the opportunity to work more hours if they wish as Basin Harbor has an open-door policy for all employees to be treated equally. Our rate of pay was not disclosed during the interview and was quoted incorrectly. I want to make it clear that no one here has to work more than 40 hours per week and certainly not at a minimum wage.

In addition, Lenox did not make the statement that was attributed to him stating, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some of the local workers say that Americans donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do beds and dishes.â&#x20AC;? Lenox did say that he learned this information while watching a . . . debate on TV regarding international staff taking jobs away from local workers.

The text regarding Mikeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s statement about how tricky working in the United States can be has painted a picture of us suggesting that we were blindfolded upon being hired and this is not so. There was no conversation with us about this.

The statement that was made about tax disappearing should be as follows: Guest workers contribute to the economy and file state and federal tax returns and do not generally seek unemployment compensation. Lenox and I do not in any way resent paying our taxes and intended our comments to suggest that our additional taxes help to support the economy.

I am particularly disturbed about the statement indicating that Lenox and I will never completely assimilate into the Basin Harbor community. In fact, as â&#x20AC;&#x153;guestâ&#x20AC;? workers I feel I can speak on behalf of all the H2B/J-1 visa workers here to say we feel we have been treated very well indeed by Basin Harbor Club, and this is what has implanted a magnetic feeling in us to return year after year even though some of us have worked at other resorts during Basin Harborâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s off season. Lenox and I have returned for seven seasons.

As a highlight, we are proud that Basin Harbor Club was voted sixth out of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;100 Best Places to Work in Vermontâ&#x20AC;? in 2006, based on information provided by our diverse staff drawn from many of our American states and over a dozen countries.

CONNECT THE (DIPPIN’) DOTS I have good news for Alice Levitt [“Guilt-Free Food,” July 25]: She doesn’t need to worry about her source of Dippin’ Dots or chicken bites. The arguments for a morality-free food system that her bizarre anti-localvoreorganic-vegetarian rant espouses have rolled over the agricultural system of this country the past 50 years and have made it seem safe to not think about food. She can just go to the grocery store (that’s where food comes from, right?) and buy it.

One purpose of the localvore movement is to make it as easy to find farm-fresh produce and local meats as it is massproduced foods. We are creating a community to help people find what is available year round and are showing local farmers (and more importantly, potential local farmers) that they have a market. We are a group of consumers who work to make it known there is a demand for an agricultural system geared toward the politics of the plate, because the implications of what you eat go far beyond your taste buds and waistline. I applaud Seven Days for expanding their coverage of these implications this past year.

Our agricultural system has been slowly evolving for millennia. It has taken a quantum leap in efficiency the past 50 years. By taking a localvore challenge or pledge, you’ll get back some of what we’ve lost due to this efficiency: a connection with your food and the environment and farmers that produce it.

TURN OFF THE STEREOTYPING It would appear that [music writer] Dan Bolles continues to write in a fashion in which his personal thoughts, feelings and tastes bubble up to the surface like a spicy, piping-hot, journalistic beef stew. In a recent issue, Bolles reviews an album by Canadian band Shout Out Out Out Out [“reviewthis,” August 1], and has this to say about the band’s potential fans: “The sound created by this unwieldy setup is unabashedly dorky; it’s the kind of stuff you’d want to listen to while playing World of Warcraft in your mom’s basement. On a Saturday night. In your underwear.”

So first it’s hippies, now nerds, geeks and other computer-video game-literate folk? Is there no limit to the stereotypes and verbal swords that can be swung towards various groups of people who live among us? Does Bolles feel no shame?

I have not listened to the album myself, so perhaps I am a bit too hasty to judge here, but a little later in the review, Bolles thankfully chooses words that would not seem to insult any human being: “. . . one gets the impression that this is the sort of music The Transformers might have made as teenagers on Cybertron. Seriously.”

Now there, you see? By using made-up, cartoon characters to describe the music, no one is offended, and the readers get at least some sense of what they can expect to hear if they happen to be moved to purchase the album, which I must admit, I was . . .

I hope you won’t take all these letters I’ve written the wrong way. I do not wish for Bolles to be fired for what he has written.

His reviews and music news bits

of late have been very funny and a joy to read. It’s just that his personal opinions, and his apparent penchant for petty stereotypes, have stuck in my mind like gum sticks to the bottom of a sandal. I just had to write these letters to rip the darn things off. In conclusion, I say keep up the good work, Dan. (And, you got any gum)?

RAPE-CRISIS CRISIS Thank you to Ken Picard for the important coverage of the uncertain status of the new home for the Women’s Rape Crisis Center [“Potential Home for Women’s Rape Crisis Center Hits Legal Snag,” August 1].

I hope that public officials act promptly to amend the zoning ordinance and take any other legal actions necessary to make this opportunity happen without further delay.

Rape-crisis programs are vital community resources, as critical to our health and safety as police, fire and emergency medical first-responders. We wouldn’t take it lightly if any of these other providers was in a similar situation.

I encourage every Burlington resident to contact your elected representative and communicate how vital the WRCC advocacy, supportive services and prevention education are to the whole community: women, men and children of all ages.

CARTOON CONSPIRACY? I just wanted to respond to the article in Seven Days about the Simpsons movie and the suspicions that Vermont and Fox cheated the results of the contest

[“D’oh! Simpsons Contest Prompts Fraud Allegations,” July 18].

I have been a big fan of Matt Groening since before “The Simpsons.” But Matt hasn’t been involved with the show since the first year or two of the series.

Since then it’s been in the hands of Fox, which is owned by Rupert Murdoch.

Why would Rupert Murdoch want to put a seemingly liberalleaning show on the air for so long? Think for a minute about the fact that while the teens and young-middle-aged adults are watching the show and laughing at the irony, the historical and social references and the stereotypical behavior of the characters, young children are watching as well (20 years’ worth of young people by now).

Young children are in fact the major market for the show (with the accompanying toys, clothing and gear), yet young children do not understand sarcasm. They also aren’t aware of the history and social issues referenced in the show. To them, the show is realistic. They are learning to laugh at the historical and social issues and to accept the stereotypes as represented.

Raising children with this perspective works perfectly in the interests of big media and big corporate profits.

And so what’s the connection to our own state and our own Homer-imitating governor? Jim Douglas and Rupert Murdoch have been on the same team once or twice before, and we shouldn’t be surprised to find them in bed together again. Wasn’t that our governor, who said he cared so much about childhood obesity, snarfing down donuts on TV last week? (This contest was the top story on WCAX a number

of nights in a row.) Who is this Homer Simpson that everyone is so eager to be associated with?

Ask any young person if they would want Homer to be their dad’s role model, and they will tell you, “No way — he chokes Bart all the time!” It seems that protecting children is a value that is conveniently used only when it suits the interests of those in power. Vermont is now officially joining the race to the bottom, with the governor leading the way.

As for election fraud, who really thinks that these TV-show voting schemes are real, ever?

Nobody interviewed in the Seven Days article denied the fact that the contest was fixed. When we can’t even trust the results of our actual political elections, what do we expect from TV call-in contests? What this whole story tells me more than anything is who’s working with whom, and to what end they aim. (Follow the lapel pins.) Are we Vermonters really dumbed-down enough to follow this pied piper?

here’s a book listed on Amazon.com entitled Carr, O’Keeffe, Kahlo: Places of Their Own. Author Sharyn Rohlfsen Udall notes that all three artists “demonstrate a special connectedness to place,” but that’s not the main reason they’re thrown together. Through popular prints and posters, Emily Carr (1871-1945), EXHIBIT Georgia O’Keeffe (1887-1986), and Frida Kahlo “Emily Carr: (1907-1954) have become the best-known female New Perspectives artists of the 20th century. Hence the Canadian’s, on a Canadian American’s and Mexican’s names are sometimes spoIcon,” paintings. ken in the same breath.

Montréal Carr is the least famous of the three. Her paintings Museum of Fine are nonetheless often as refined as O’Keeffe’s and as Arts. Through September 23. psychologically complex as Kahlo’s. Given that vitality, “Emily Carr: New Perspectives on a Canadian Icon,” appearing at the Montréal Museum of Fine Arts ARTWORK through September 23, is a show Vermonters should “Rushing Sea of Undergrowth” by brave the border to catch. The artist is slowly but Emily Carr surely becoming more than a Canadian icon.

Carr was born on a prosperous farm in Victoria, British Columbia, in 1871. She was the second PHOTO youngest of five siblings, and the one most interested Courtesy of Montréal Museum in making pictures. The show offers more than 200 of of Fine Arts Carr’s works, defining three distinct phases of her career. It also traces her life’s trajectory, which is nearly as inspiring as the works themselves.

After early studies in San Francisco and England, Carr embarked on a private teaching career. She had first sketched native subjects on Vancouver Island in 1898; after a cruise to Alaska in 1907, she focused

Carr’s paintings are often as refined as O’Keeffe’s and as psychologically complex as Kahlo’s. even more intently on documentation. At the time, many perceived that “First Nations” art was quickly vanishing from the coastal rainforest region. Carr began recording native forms and designs with watercolors, journeying to numerous villages in the process.

“Totem Walk at Sitka” of 1907 is a highly competent, 15-inch-square watercolor on paper that describes a shady path with totem poles along the right. A canopy of spruce trees overhangs the walkway.

Other watercolors from this period include caricatures and cartoons about teaching, plus a pair of striking forest interiors, both about 28 by 21 inches, that presage her mystical canvasses of the 1930s. The 1909-10 forest watercolors were composed with darkened foregrounds and light streaming into their middle depths. The giant conifer’s verticals appear to be sculpted by nature, just as human hands sculpt expressive totem poles.

A second European trip in 1910-11, this time to France at the height of Fauvism, was directly responsible for Carr becoming an “icon.” She became a solid, Fauve-influenced oil painter, introducing vibrant colors to her formerly simplified depictions of totem poles and potlatch houses. Her oils began to break hues into distinct patches of color, and Carr adopted the use of directional strokes in works such as the 19by-25-inch oil, “Autumn in France,” a golden pastoral landscape with a mountain in the distance. “Trees in France” is a 14-by-18-inch oil on canvas that focuses on the fat trunks of three deciduous trees, which stretch their limbs like ballet dancers.

Upon returning to Canada, Carr added vivid oil paintings to her studies of native life. The 24-by-12inch oil “Kispiox” of 1912 is an aggregation of totem

poles weathered into whiteness and engulfed by a landscape of lavender and chartreuse and a sky in shades of blue. “Skidegate (shark pole)” is a vertically composed, 26-by-14-inch rising composition emphasizing verticality — another harbinger of her later images.

In 1913, an exhibition of 200 of Carr’s drawings and paintings was mounted in Vancouver. On its strength, she petitioned the Minister of Education for British Columbia to finance further trips around the province. Ironically, her growing power as a painter doomed her ethnographic ambitions. Carr’s application was roundly rejected, and Minister E.H. Young made it clear that he deemed modernist-influenced art inappropriate for depicting aboriginal artifacts.

The second phase of Carr’s story began with that bitter disappointment. Students also began to reject her Fauvism, and financial destitution followed. As Carr advanced into her forties, her output as a painter significantly decreased; she earned her living by running a small rooming house and crafting faux Indian ceramics and rugs to sell to tourists. She later wrote, “I

EMILY CARR

ornamented my pottery with Indian designs — that was why the tourists bought it. I hated myself for prostituting Indian Art; our Indians did not ‘pot.’ Their designs were not intended to ornament clay . . .”

Still, Carr’s paintings were occasionally shown. On a visit to her small studio in 1927, Eric Brown, director of the National Gallery of Canada, invited her to participate in the “Exhibition of Canadian West Coast Art: Native and Modern” being organized for the National Gallery in Ottawa. The ethnographer who was also designing the show became so enamored of the paintings by Carr, then in her late fifties, that he reshaped the exhibition so her work was predominate.

Twenty-six of her paintings were selected.

That 1927 exhibition has been totally recreated presently in Montréal, and it’s easy to see why it won Carr national recognition. Her boldest 1912 canvasses, such as the 28-by-38-inch “Indian War Canoe”

and the stunning evening silhouette of a totem gate in the 30by-20-inch “Graveyard Entrance, Campbell River,” moved eastern audiences in a way that would have mystified her detractor, Minister Young.

On the way to attend the Ottawa opening of her 1927 show, Carr stopped in Toronto to meet several artists in the socalled “Group of Seven.” That distinguished Toronto-based circle had consciously banded together to define “the soul of Canadian painting” as having a spiritual connection to the land.

Carr had similar interests.

Lawren Harris, the most spiritual of the group, became her lifelong friend and correspondent.

As a result of his influence and her own interest in theosophy, Carr entered the third and most important phase of her career: perusing transcendental themes in the towering landscape of British Columbia.

“Rushing Sea of Undergrowth” from 1935 typifies her most celebrated style. The 44by-28-inch vertical stand of sweeping conifers was rendered with legato cross-contour brush strokes. As in earlier watercolors, darks frame the foreground and light seeps into the forest depths.

In the similarly scaled “Light Swooping Through,” the woods dissolve into a symphony of rolling folds. Carr’s paint handling is often quite lean, yet she warmly layers her material into substantiality.

After Carr’s death in 1945, a memorial exhibition curated by Harris opened in Toronto. A large segment of the Montréal show is based on Harris’ Toronto presentation. He placed Carr’s work squarely within a context of expressively spiritual modernism. Another section of the current Montréal exhibition delves into photographs and paintings reflecting her environmental concerns.

Just as it was 80 years ago, the amorphous identity of Canadian painting remains a fascinating topic of discussion. It deserves to be debated on both sides of the 49th parallel.

Whatever the soul of Canadian painting may be, it’s unquestionably vibrant. Understanding Carr, the Group of Seven and their Québec contemporaries could make Vermont painters ask if their own cultural identity has a “soul” and, if so, what it looks like. �

by david thomas

playing the electronic field

Gamers Take It Easy Stop taking your games so seriously.

As much as you may love your “Halo” or “World of WarCraft,” it turns out that the so-called “casual gamers” outnumber you 20 to 1. What started with “Solitaire” and “Mine Sweeper” has grown into a global phenomenon, with players of all ages logging on to the Web and downloading easy-tolearn games by the millions.

And as the market grows, so does the quality of the games.

Visit www.switchball.com, for example. Download a trial version of “Switchball,” a kinetic puzzle game, and for your trouble you can play several levels that challenge you to roll a ball through a series of mazes and obstacle courses. It’s as easy to understand as it is to play. And for $20 you can unlock the remaining levels and fritter away the time between meetings on your laptop.

The Casual Games Association estimates that 150 million people worldwide play these engaging trifles. That interest adds up to an anticipated $1.5 billion in revenue by next year, or about 10 percent of the total dollars earned by the entire game industry.

What’s the attraction?

Even though big-budget, highconcept games dominate the game press and the fans’ attention, not everyone has the time or interest to figure out how to provide covering and target Locust troopers’ fire in “Gears of War.” Playing a hand of bridge or even enjoying a few games of “SpongeBob SquarePants B.C. Bowling” falls within the average computer user’s learning curve.

With an estimated 43 percent of casual games offered in a try-beforeyou-buy mode, and another 40 percent letting you pay for them by looking at ads, casual gamers don’t have to make an investment to see if a title will scratch their entertainment itch.

As the market grows, so does the variety of games. Titles such as PlayFirst’s “Diner Dash” have become mainstays of casual play, sending the player running back and forth to keep greasy-spoon customers happy.

SUDOKU

By Linda Thistle

“Chocolatier” combines a business simulation with a matching game that races players across the globe in an effort to build a sweets-making empire.

The problem with casual games has nothing to do with quality or variety, but with their almost endless availability. Finding the right game takes a lot of effort, a lucky recommendation or, more often than not, a visit to one of the big sites such as shockwave.com, EA’s pogo.com or Microsoft’s Game Zone on msn.com.

The smell of potential success is so pungent that even the home consoles, long a bastion of hard-core gaming, have started to sniff around the casual market. Not only does a service such as Xbox Live offer Xbox 360 players the opportunity to download updated levels for the arctic adventure “Lost Planet”; they can also grab casual hit “Bejeweled 2.” Coming soon for the Nintendo Wii is the trivia game “Smarty Pants,” and 360 households will get a game-show controller and a

new version of the popular family title “Scene It.” Taking it easy has turned into the next big thing in gaming.

Who’s It For: Long relegated to grandma and little-kid markets, the casual game has grown into a powerhouse of electronic entertainment. With something for everyone, it’s not a matter of whether you’re a casual gamer, but what kind of casual game you’d like best.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Welcome to the Season of Temporary Insanity, Capricorn.

According to my analysis of the omens, your imminent immersion in lunacy, delirium and freakiness wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hurt a bit â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and may even stir up exotic varieties of pleasure and amusement. For best results, keep the following advice bubbling and frothing in the back of your mind. (1) â&#x20AC;&#x153;Only when he no longer knows what he is doing does the painter do good things.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Edgar Degas. (2) â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sell your cleverness and buy bewilderment.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Rumi, translated by Coleman Barks. (3) â&#x20AC;&#x153;All of us are crazy good in one way or another.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Yiddish saying. (4) â&#x20AC;&#x153;You are either losing your mind â&#x20AC;&#x201C; or gaining your soul.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Julia Cameron.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Leo writer J.K. Rowling is SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Physicist John

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Are you

unsure about whether you should leap into a lasting bond with a certain numinous creature youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been fooling around with? If so, you might be interested in obtaining a Sacred Certificate of Short Duration Marriage. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s available at tinyurl.com/ypxz7y.

This convenient license can provide you with the security of knowing that your commitment doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to be forever. Maybe that will free you to hurl yourself headlong into the experience. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a suggestion, Aquarius. Do you have any other areas in your life where youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to achieve maximum combustion while maintaining a sense of safety and security?

SAGITTARIUS

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Mahatma

Gandhi called his autobiography The Story of My Experiments with Truth. I suggest that you give the same title to the next chapter of your own epic quest. From an astrological perspective, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an excellent time to make the experimental pursuit of truth your top priority and greatest joy. The best way to launch the process is to exuberantly suspend all of your fixed ideas about the way the world works. Be a cheerful skeptic who loves evocative questions. Be an innocent and curious explorer who thrives on getting your mind blown by unexpected insights.

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): To avoid getting set in my ways, I have a policy of changing my religion regularly. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve tried every variation of all the biggies, but in recent years Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve preferred creating my own. In July my chosen faith was the First Church of the Last Chance. This month itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the Tempestuous Temple of Babbling Benevolence. Given that your personal spiritual tradition is a little worn around the edges, Sagittarius, you might consider a similar approach. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to experiment! Whatever fresh religion you invent, I hereby name you the Chief Rabbi, High Pope, and Dalai Lama of it. (P.S. Want to borrow two of my current commandments? 1.

Thou shalt serve humanity while having a lot of fun.

2. Thou shalt find the hot spot in your soul where your deepest longing and wisest compassion overlap.)

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Jaeyana Beuraheng, a mother of eight, decided to travel from her small village in southern Thailand to Malaysia for a daylong shopping trip. But she accidentally boarded the wrong bus, transferred to another wrong bus, and ended up in a distant city where everyone spoke a language she didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand. Her money ran out, and she started begging in the streets.

Accused of being an illegal immigrant, she was given shelter in a social services hostel. Years went by. Finally three people from her village visited the hostel by chance, and she was able to communicate in her native tongue. Through their assistance, she went home. The moral of the story, as far as youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re concerned, is this: Whatever wrong turn you made, and however long ago it was, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re ready to go back home.

Cramer has made progress in his research into the feasibility of time travel. But he canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take his work to its next phase without an infusion of $20,000.

You might want to consider donating, Scorpio. If you did, and he managed to perfect time travel in his future experiments, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d no doubt be high on the priority list to use the new technology. And that means you could go back and correct for the wrong turn you made in April, which Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d really like to see you do. If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the inclination to contribute to Cramerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s research, at least try this alternative: Go to each person affected by your deviation and make a thoughtful attempt at atonement and correction.

the second-richest woman entertainer in the world because of her seven best-selling novels about Harry Potter. It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t easy for her in the beginning, however. Her first book in the series was rejected by eight publishers before Bloomsbury decided to risk it. I nominate Rowling to be your inspirational role model for the rest of 2007, Leo. According to my analysis of the omens, you should be working (and playing) hard to produce an enduring creation that may take a while to make its mark.

Two Trees,â&#x20AC;? William Butler Yeats says that one tree is holy and grows within the heart. Its branches and trembling flowers thrive on joy. The changing colors of its fruit please the stars, and its leaves give the waves their melody. The second tree has broken boughs and blackened leaves, and is full of â&#x20AC;&#x153;the ravens of unresting thought.â&#x20AC;? I bring this to your attention, Gemini, because in the coming week it really is up to you and your free will which of these two trees you spend most of your time with. The astrological configurations have nothing to say on that matter.

LIbRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to peter out with a whimper in September, you should exit with a bang as soon as possible. In another couple of weeks, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have to answer to fate, whereas right now fate still has to answer to you. So pull out your calendar and schedule splashy goodbyes, last laughs, and colorful climaxes that leave no room for misinterpretation. Give goingaway gifts to part-time nemeses so that they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t possibly go away mad. And make sure that the Day of Reckoning happens on your home turf.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): In his poem â&#x20AC;&#x153;The

with the cosmic rhythms in the coming weeks, they will stimulate some interesting changes in the way your brain works. Here are a few of the developments you can expect: a five-point rise in your IQ; a boost in your ability to solve puzzles; a growing knack for heading off bad moods before they even erupt; a sixth sense for distinguishing between what people say theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing and what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re actually doing; and a dramatic improvement in your ability to know what you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want.

TAURUS

(April 20-May 20): â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am in continuous pursuit of the color red,â&#x20AC;? says artist Andy Goldsworthy, whose specialty is creating large outdoor sculptures made of natural objects. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As I approach the source of the color red, the more I understand it.â&#x20AC;? Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so fond of red rocks, whose hue comes from iron, the same element that makes our blood red. Your next assignment, Taurus, is to develop a more intimate and expansive relationship with red. Color therapists say that it inspires vigor, zeal, determination, and primordial longing. But donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just let the experts define your connection with red. Find your own meanings, too.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): If you cooperate

ARIES

(March 21-April 19): â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dear Rob: Have your apprentices been composing your column lately? Or have you outsourced the writing to Vedic fortune-tellers in Calcutta? The horoscopes just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sound like you. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know, goofier or something. Have you been smoking more dope than usual? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Lonely for the Old Rob.â&#x20AC;? Dear Lonely: I always write every horoscope, and I never take drugs. In fact, I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s YOU that have changed.

Many of you Aries have been so deeply immersed in mutation lately that you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t realize how much youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve mutated. You assume everyone around you is different only because you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how different youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve become.

film review

Talk to Me HHH

S BLACK TALK Cheadle is squandered in this muddled bio about a troubled D.C. radio host.

ome people’s lives are simply too free-form to fit tidily into the standard biopic formula. Petey Greene was a talk-radio personality who came to prominence in Washington, D.C., during the late ’60s, and for 53 years he lived exactly such a life. Someday, someone just may make a great movie about it. Kasi (Eve’s Bayou) Lemmons has not.

Don Cheadle is all pimped out with no place to go, thanks to her unimaginative direction and a screenplay that leaves no cliché of the genre unmilked — while leaving whole chapters of Greene’s story untold. As the movie gets under way, for example, Greene is spinning discs and perfecting his trademark patter over a prison sound system. Yet the viewer never learns the nature of the crime that landed him there. Did he get caught with a nickle bag, or did he

Stardust HHH

F STAR POWER Michelle Pfeiffer tries to recapture some — literally — in Matthew Vaughn’s comic fantasy about a star fallen to Earth.

ew are the great tongue-in-cheek fantasy movies.

There’s something about swords and sorcery and good-versus-evil that makes filmmakers get solemn and operatic. Two notable exceptions are Rob Reiner’s The Princess Bride, a fairy tale sprinkled with vaudeville schtick, and Terry Gilliam’s Time Bandits, with its Monty Python sensibility. Both are ideal movies for teens wavering between geeky earnestness and a desire to mock everything — and adults like them, too.

Stardust aspires to be that sort of cult movie. It has a leg up: The source material is a short novel by Neil Gaiman, who’s a cult unto himself. The Sandman author serves up his fantasies with heavy dollops of the droll and grotesque. Stardust is set in Victorian England in a village called Wall, whose eponymous landmark sports a gap that’s a portal to another world. Naturally, it’s one of those worlds where magic really works and kings have seven sons and, yes, there are unicorns. It’s also a world where princesses enjoy the occasional premarital roll in the hay, as we learn in a prologue that explains the haphazard conception of the movie’s hero, Tristran (Charlie Cox).

Trapped on the dull side of the wall, Tristran is a shop boy who yearns for more — specifically, he yearns for Victoria (Sienna Miller), a twiggy blonde who’s more interested in a guy with a sword. He tries to win this Victorian Mean Girl’s heart by offering her a fallen star, and so begins a quest that takes him over the wall into fairyland. But he’s not the only one chasing the star, which turns out to look less like a

go on a killing spree? That kind of thing is nice to know.

Chiwetel Ejiofor costars as Dewey Hughes, the program director at a local station who encounters the jailhouse jock while he’s visiting a family member serving time in the same facility. “Look me up when you get out,” he tells Greene, who senses the meeting is a lifedefining moment. Hughes is thinking he might fix the ex-con up with a job as a janitor. Greene gets it in his head he’s going to walk straight out of the pen and into a broadcast booth.

The first 30 minutes of the movie are much more fun than the hour and a half that follows.

Cheadle does a marvelous job of suggesting the mix of motormouth egomania and deep-seated self-doubt that made Greene a combustible talent. He shows up at WOL with his girlfriend (Taraji P. Henson) in tow and summons Hughes. When he learns that a career in radio is not, in fact, awaiting him, he’s so indignant that he convinces dozens of the city’s black residents the station doesn’t want them as listeners and persuades them to picket outside its offices. Martin Sheen plays the company’s square owner. Watching Cheadle talk Ejiofor into giving him a shot and then watching Ejiofor set it up behind his boss’ back are good for more than a few laughs. But then the high spirits, the telling interplay between characters — in short, everything that makes the film’s first act entertaining — abruptly come to an end. The rest of the movie is a mess.

The director dusts off every tired trick in the Rise and Fall of Somebody Famous book. Greene’s streetwise patois makes him an overnight hit with D.C.’s black community. This success leads to opportunities on local TV, stand-up work in comedy clubs and, ultimately, to a make-or-break appearance on “The

giant gaseous globe than like Claire Danes in a blonde wig and shiny nightgown. Much chasing, flying, shape-changing, spell-casting, flirting and camping it up ensue.

The camping it up is courtesy of Robert De Niro, who does a memorable turn as a sky pirate who flies a sailing ship suspended from a blimp and enjoys dressing in ruffles and dancing the cancan. Johnny Depp has made us love fey pirates, so why not an actual gay pirate? The performance is broad caricature, but it’s

Tonight Show.” Since the Greene we’re shown is a regulation “tortured genius,” his ascent is followed by booze-fueled implosion. As Lemmons tells it, he was drunkenly blowing the Carson gig one minute and living out his days as a recluse the next.

The film provides no explanation of why Greene would suddenly stop doing the job he loves, his talk show on WOL. Instead, it lurches into the future, when Hughes has traded his suit for a microphone and attracted his own following as a radio host. This disastrous shift in focus might have something to do with the fact that the script was cowritten by Hughes’ son.

It’s standard operating procedure for movies like this to make use of recognizable music from the period to help set the tone. But even here, Lemmons’ judgment lapses. She goes so totally overboard with the device, matching songs to scenes by theme, that when Greene takes the station elevator, you half expect to hear Isaac Hayes start singing “Shaft.”

The filmmaker grasps at one straw after another in an attempt to give her picture the illusion of gravitas.

The most desperate example takes the form of a prolonged sequence in which Greene shares his thoughts with a distraught listenership following the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. Is this Greene’s story, or Hughes’, or King’s? I haven’t even mentioned the lengthy section devoted to James Brown.

The movie’s subject is MIA for much of the final act. Then suddenly he’s dead and being eulogized.

Even in the script’s tearjerking eulogy, no mention is made of the role Greene played as a community activist right to the end. Lemmons wants us to remember him as some sort of tragic, trail-blazing martyr, but she tells his story in such muddled fashion that the real Petey Greene never comes into focus.

As a result, Talk to Me proves a message movie with precious little to say.

RICK KISONAK

appropriate that De Niro should be the one who gives Tristran his makeover from drab lad to swashbuckler — like a steampunk version of “Queer Eye for the Straight Guy.” Stardust tweaks the fairy-tale formula in some mild ways, but its basic elements are standard: the naïve but valiant hero, the steadfast heroine, the bickering princes, the wicked old witch who still wants to be the fairest of them all. At one point, the story seems headed for darker, more mature territory, as Tristran is torn between his growing affection for Danes and his old infatuation with Miller. But that tangent is shortlived.

Newcomer Cox is like Orlando Bloom with a personality. Michelle Pfeiffer is pungently nasty as the vain witch, whose aging dilemma seems suspiciously similar to that of certain Hollywood actresses. Danes, seldom convincing in period pieces, isn’t here either.

(The part of the personified star calls for an actress with an otherworldly quality: Bryce Dallas Howard comes to mind.) Some of the funniest bits belong to British actors in small parts; watch for Ricky Gervais, creator of “The Office.”

The movie runs long, but the landscapes — filmed in the Scottish Highlands — are worth a good gaze.

All in all, Stardust is a pleasant diversion. Whether it spawns a cult may depend on how many impressionable teens line up out there in multiplex-land, bored of the Pirates franchise and looking for a snappier twist on the “cute boys in breeches” formula.

aster Brewer Steve Parkes moves through the Otter Creek Brewing Company like a big fish in a pond. On a recent hot and humid day, the brewery is bustling with tourists, and Parkes is in his element. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You get up every morning and you get to go to work and make beer. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s as simple as that,â&#x20AC;? he says with a smile. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even on a bad day, what could be better?â&#x20AC;?

British-born Parkes, 47, is living the dream of many brewers â&#x20AC;&#x201D; heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doing what he loves, crafting quality beer. Fittingly enough, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Live the Dreamâ&#x20AC;? is also the slogan he uses to promote his other passion, the American Brewers Guild (ABG). The premier brewing school in the country, the ABG is based near Parkesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; home in Salisbury, just south of Middlebury. Look up a brewer at a U.S. microbrewery, and chances are that he or she will mention Parkes as a mentor.

In the past 20 years, home brewing has grown from a quirky fad to a billion-dollar cottage industry that has spawned countless brewing guides, magazines, websites, chat rooms and entire retail chains.

Specialty, or â&#x20AC;&#x153;craft,â&#x20AC;? brewing is a $3.8-billion-a-year industry, with more than 1300 microbreweries and brewpubs operating in the United States, according to the Vermont Brewers Association.

Vermont is a logical place for the ABG. According to the 2005 census, the state boasts 623,050 people and 19 breweries.

That works out to one microbrewery per 32,792 inhabitants â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the highest per capita

in the nation. The ABG is one of just three brewing schools in the U.S. recognized by the American Brewers Association.

Parkes got his own learninâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; at HeriotWatt University, home of the International Centre for Brewing and Distilling in Edinburgh, Scotland â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the only brewing school in the United Kingdom.

He was working for Humboldt Brewery in Arcata, California, in 1999 when he and his wife, Christine McKeever, bought the ABG, then located in nearby Davis.

After Parkes got his job at Otter Creek, the couple â&#x20AC;&#x201D; who have two kids, aged 8 and 11 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; brought the school east with them.

Today, the guild is a family affair: Christine handles all aspects of ABG admissions and is Steveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right hand.

More than a few undergraduates would hop at the chance to earn a degree in beer.

But before you sign up for the path to brewing nirvana, take note: Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll need to be prepared to face microbiology, biochemistry and engineering principles. Not to mention a long waiting list.

The February 2008 class at ABG is already full, and the July class isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t far behind. (Those months open its two â&#x20AC;&#x153;semesters.â&#x20AC;?) Prospective students must have at least some home-brewing experience, plus college-level algebra and chemistry.

Most of the ABGâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s courses donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take place on-site. Its CraftBrewers Apprenticeship course, priced at $7950, is a 27-week distance-learning program using videos, textbooks, the ABG website and online correspondence. Students can spend their required five-week internship at any Guildapproved brewery, with options in every state but Oklahoma. A 21-week distancelearning program, called the Intensive Brewing Science and Engineering course (IBS&E), runs $5750 and may include a

five-week residential program.

The Guild currently has 20 students living and studying in Vermont â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 17 from all over the U.S. and three Canadians. It has no campus aside from an administrative office in Salisbury, and no dorms: Most students rent houses and rooms in East Middlebury, Lincoln, Bristol and New Haven. One is camping; another is living out of his truck.

The ABGâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main classroom is a hall at the Courtyard by Marriott in Middlebury,

where daily lectures by local brew masters and beer experts immerse students in the science and engineering of brewing. Sample topics include fermentation technology, heat transfer and thermal insulation, fluid mechanics, fermentation and flavor biochemistry, and chemical and microbiological beer analysis.

Bryce Troy, 52, is the oldest student in this year’s group. In order to attend the ABG residency, he and his wife Sue sold their house in Tucson, Arizona, and Troy took a leave of absence from his job as a bassoonist in the Tucson Symphony.

“I was a self-educated brewer,” Noonan recalls. “It’s a huge thing having the ability to get a good brewing education now. The Guild is obviously a leader in that field.”

Like Cotti, Noonan had a lucrative day job he despised before he made the jump to brewing full-time. “Money is not the most important thing in life,” he says. “Some people may have all the trappings of success, but are they happy?”

Noonan believes the artistic aspect of brewing is the difference between a capable brewer and a truly great brewer — so brewing education has its limits.

“You can’t teach people artistry,” he says. “You either have it or you don’t.”

Julie Felske, 37, is another ABG lecturer and a rarity on the “campus” — most students are male. But the bigger world of Vermont brewing is no boys’ club. The Alchemist Pub & Brewery, Trout River Brewing Company and the Rock Art Brewery all boast women as presidents or co-owners. At Otter Creek, one of the brewers is a woman, as are the CFO, the packing manager, the distribution manager and the labeler.

Felske received a B.S. degree in zoology with a minor in microbiology, then became

attend labs at the Otter Creek Brewery and an all-day Brewers of Burlington field trip, with stops at Magic Hat Brewing Co., Switchback Brewery and Vermont Pub & Brewery.

Science and technology aside, the budding brewers agree: It’s about the love of beer and sharing it with others. Parkes says there’s no way he could choose between Otter Creek and the Guild — he has to do both. “I need to brew,” he says. “I need to make beer and share it with people.”

Parkes says this passion — which also unites his students — is what makes the difference between home brewing and professional brewing. For someone with the proper motivation, “the jump is not so great from the kitchen to the commercial brewery, and that is why they are here,” he explains. “To elevate beer to something more than washing down pizza with.”

graduate of the ABG program.

Cotti started home brewing while working as a software developer in Boston. Within weeks of completing the ABG program, he landed the job at the Bobcat.

Cotti says that when he moved to Vermont intent on becoming a professional brewer, he was tired of the corporate drudgery and wanted a change.

Though his software career gave him the financial stability he needed to embark on a new one, he cautions others against seeking big bucks in brews: “You don’t get rich doing this. It’s the love of beer and the creative outlet. I brew what I want. It’s fulfilling that way.”

The success of upscale brewpubs like the Bobcat has reminded foodies that fine cuisine goes down well with more than just wine: For beer and food, this could be the beginning of the proverbial beautiful friendship.

Garrett Oliver, master brewer at Brooklyn Brewery, is one of the foremost industry experts on that topic. He authored the bestselling The Brewmaster’s Table and is also, as it happens, an ABG lecturer. At his recent lecture, Oliver said only 400 of the 1400 breweries in the U.S. are stand-alones — the rest are brewpubs. “If you don’t know

“You’ve got to follow your dreams,” he says. “Live like there’s no tomorrow. Don’t look back and wish you’d done something different. Do something different.”

Andy Coates hails from Denver and plans to settle in Chicago when the ABG program ends. The 25-year-old is cutting costs by living in his truck for the five-week program.

“We all had real jobs, and at the end of the day, you want to do something with tangible results,” Coates says. He adds, with classic understatement, “and everyone likes what we make.”

Conversations with current students and alumni suggest that the ABG is a guild in every sense of the word. Brewers share a bond that is almost cultish, but they also have an intense desire to share their craft and its product. Their gatherings have a free and easy quality, a sense that they are in it for the love of craft brewing.

While some students soak up knowledge and fly home, others use that dedication to enrich some mighty fine local brewpubs. Case in point: Ron Cotti, 42, master brewer at the Bobcat Café in Bristol and a 2004

how your beer interacts with food,” he told the class, “you likely don’t know what your beer tastes like.”

Oliver is impressed by Parkes’ work with the Guild. “What Steve has done is provide a practical education for people at a reasonable price,” he says, adding that the apprenticeship component is key to producing “real-world” brewers.

“There are so many people who come out of prestigious brew schools who don’t know how to think about flavor,” Oliver goes on. “They know the technical aspects, but they don’t know what people want. They’re not in touch with the consumer.”

Judging by the success of Greg Noonan’s Burlington establishment, he’s one hophead who’s very much in touch.

Noonan’s Vermont Pub & Brewery was the first brewpub to open in Vermont, in 1988, and its owner and brewer is a pioneer in the industry. Noonan’s 1986 book Brewing Lager Beer is considered a textbook by both amateur and professional brewers, and he lectures regularly during the ABG summer residency program.

certified in medical technology before discovering brewing science and landing at Magic Hat, where she works in quality control. “The lab seems to be where women end up,” she says.

“I wonder if we have a better attention to detail.”

Parkes might agree; when women do come through the ABG, he says, they always have the highest test scores.

For all the potential jokes about “Beer U.,” Felske sees the success of the Guild as a testament to community values.

“People are more passionate about being in their communities,” she explains. “I think people who go into brewing are saying, ‘I want to do this for myself and then bring this back to my community.’”

Back in Salisbury, as the Guild class winds down from a long day of study over fresh pints, Parkes fields a last question: Does “the dream” apply to his life? “It does,” he answers. “I never take anything for granted, and I’ve worked for great people who allowed me to do what I love . . . but it does just all come down to the beer.” >

Lobster Lovin’ SEA CREATURE SET FREE

Last week, to much media furor, a 17-pound lobster named André was rescued from a tank at Price Chopper in South Burlington and flown to the New England Aquarium in Boston on a private plane.

How did the crustacean end up in a nice, cool tank instead of a really large pot of boiling water?

Thanks to the ministrations of two local ladies, Crystal Bennett and Elaine Cahoon. The humane women raised money to buy the $200 lobster, with help from concerned citizens as far away as Florida.

According to Tony LaCasse, the aquarium’s spokesperson, the folks behind the PC seafood counter clearly aren’t marine biologists. They guessed André’s age at 130 and were “massively off,” he reports. Experts at the aquarium estimated the creature’s age to be between 25 and 40. The critter, which is “in terrific shape,” is currently serving out a 30-day sentence in quarantine, as all incoming animals do, where he’s happily “lording over a tank.”

Rob Thorne, PC’s seafood manager, is a bit baffled by the whole affair. In his view, lobsters get an unusual amount of sympathy by comparison with the steaks that line the store’s coolers. Why don’t consumers have a beef with the beef? “They don’t have to look at any eyes, so they don’t care,” he speculates. And when softies ask if the lobsters will eventually be killed, Thorne quips, “That’s why they’re here.”

Thorne says the grocery store doesn’t routinely carry gargantuan sea creatures: The ones they order are in the “4- to 6-pound range.” André’s visit was an anomaly.

In LaCasse’s viewpoint, André is an important lobster despite his relative youth. Why? “Whether you’re a vegetarian or you love to eat lobster, people should object to seeing really large lobsters at a grocery store or fish market,” LaCasse says.

Because of over-fishing, the “size of lobsters has decreased over time.” Thus, leaving the big ones in the wild is good for the gene pool. Or should that be the gene ocean?

Choosy About Chinese?

A SINGLE PEBBLE HOPES YOU VOTE VERMONT

If you’ve visited A Single Pebble recently, you may have received a postcard with your check.

What does it say? The much-touted eatery is in the running to be named one of the top 100 Chinese restaurants in the U.S. According to the Chinese Restaurant News, which is administering the contest, the nation has more than 43,139 Chinese restaurants. The publication’s goal is to find an “avenue to establish standards to award excellence in Chinese cuisine.” To make the list, restaurants need a combo of votes from customers on the Web and the good will of judges, who will visit a number of the top candidates.

“It is very special for Single Pebble to be nominated,” says co-owner Christina Duval, the only Chinese person on staff at ASP. “All my crew is American, and we put out outstanding food every night.” When the Chinese ambassador dined there last year, he was “very surprised” when Duval introduced her Caucasian staff. “He said it was the best Chinese food he had in the United States,” she boasts. Duval credits Chef Steve Bogart’s passion for the culture and cuisine of China for making the restaurant what it is.

To vote, visit http://top100.C-R-N.com before the end of September. At least A Single Pebble boasts a classier name than other nominees such as Buffet City, Little Sheep Mongolian Hot Pot and Ying’s Wings and Things.

Brew-ha-ha MAGIC HAT PLANS TO TAME CIRCUS BOY LABEL

The folks at Magic Hat Brewing Co. never thought their Circus Boy Hefeweizen label would be construed as racist. But a few of their distributors expressed

concern about its artwork, which depicts an ebony creature with glowing eyes crouched in a cage. The figure looks more Gollum than human, but given the use of the word “boy” and the context of enslavement, it could be construed as an African-American. “We looked at it and were like, ‘Oh, my goodness,’” says Supreme Dreamer and Schemer Stacey Steinmetz.

Although the company hasn’t received complaints from customers, Steinmetz reports, the label is up for a change. “The design was always intended to evolve.

We’re all about constantly evolving our packaging and trying to keep things new,” she explains.

Speaking of evolution, the microbrewery’s beers recently scored some time on the big screen in the Justin Timberlake vehicle Alpha Dog.. “I believe it was a student or someone who had gone to UVM and was working in the industry. He said, ‘Hey, you wanna do this?’ and we said, ‘Sure,’” relates Steinmetz. But in the two years between sending off their products and seeing the finished film, folks at the plant forgot. “It was kind of thrilling” when it actually happened, Steinmetz says.

Are they planning more placements? Says Steinmetz, “We get calls every once in a while.

We’re not actively out there seeking it.”

And at least one person has a gripe about their inclusion. On the Internet Movie Database, the “Magic” moment is listed as a blooper. Why? Because the New England company’s beers aren’t sold in California, where the film takes place.

Magic Hat’s not the only local brew showing up in flicks. There’s a prominently placed Harpoon Brewery logo in Martin Scorsese’s The Departed.

Makes sense, since the biz’s “other location” is right in B-town, where the movie takes place.

Crumbs LEFTOVER FOOD NEWS

Everyone’s always dishing about Jasper Hill Farm’s Bayley Hazen Blue and the award-winning clothbound cheddar the company makes in collaboration with Cabot Creamery Cooperative. Recently, though, the company’s Constant Bliss earned kudos on Chowhound’s food media blog. Blogger Kara Zuaro reports, “I was thrilled to discover that this cow’s-milk cheese lives up to its name.” Zuaro also notes that on a blog called “Eat Drink One Woman,” the cheese is described as “a volcanoshaped puck . . . mild and creamy with just enough moldy bite to keep things interesting.”

Mike McKenna, Middlebury’s director of communications, confirmed that the college has taken a six-month option on the old Eat Good Food spot in Middlebury. But until the students are back in town to help decide how the space should look, expect no word on whether you’ll be able to eat good — or any — food there.

Likewise, a new sign in front of the Sandbar Inn indicates that a restaurant and some townhouses are on the way, but don’t look for any eatery in the next few months. “It will be in the spring,” says owner Marco DiCarlo, who promises more details in the new year.

S

ean Buchanan walked out of the 10-course Vermont Fresh Network dinner at the Basin Harbor Club after the quail stuffed with beef heart but before the Sicilian-style rabbit with pappardelle noodles. Was there something wrong with the food?

Not at all. Buchanan, who was at the dinner on behalf of his employer, Wood Creek Farm in Bridport, gave a brief spiel about the glories of grass-fed beef, blew a kiss to the crowd, and then jetted for a very important date. He dashed from Vergennes to Burlington’s Fletcher Allen Health Care to visit his wife, Jess, and their daughter, Sophia, not yet 24 hours old.

Foodie folks who know Buchanan may wonder if he’s learned the secret of teleportation, or at least how to fly. He works full-time at Wood Creek as the “sales and marketing guy,” hosts a television show called “Feast in the Making” that airs on Vermont Public Television, attends pretty much every gastronomic event in the area, and somehow manages to hang

out with his family as well. Buchanan even volunteers his time as a liaison between the farmers who grow Vermont’s best fruits and veggies and the restaurants that can make the most of them.

“My biggest weakness is that I want to do everything for everybody,” Buchanan admits.

It’s no wonder that, at the recent Vermont Fresh Network Forum, the Vermont Department of Agriculture gave him an award for his efforts in promoting local produce. “There’s nothing better than finding a way to connect people. That’s what gives me the most satisfaction in life,” Buchanan says.

Regardless of his hectic schedule, the athletic-looking 32-year-old always greets his numerous culinary acquaintances with an impish grin on his face.

Buchanan’s love affair with fresh local products began during his childhood as an army brat in Germany, he says. “We were always way into food . . . lobster, cherries, whatever was in season.” But he never intended to work with food for a living.

After earning a degree from Virginia Tech in environmental science, he spent some time “doing

biochem” before moving out to Colorado to be a rock-climbing, hiking and ski bum. He supported those habits by waiting tables, but then the kitchen was thrust upon him.

“I was only cooking because they were out of cooks,” Buchanan recalls. At first, he worked behind the line at the super-high-volume Grand Lake Lodge: “I was terrible . . . I didn’t understand salt, I didn’t understand how to cook. But luckily enough, there were strong guys to carry me,” he says, laughing.

Next, he experimented with menu development as the executive chef at an Irish pub. “It was ‘turn and burn’ style,” says Buchanan, “but the owner and his wife were open to letting us try new things.” He brought in lobster tails and fresh-stuffed pastas and, in the process, helped increase the check average from $15 per person to $45.

With a firm handle on the basics, Buchanan did another season at Grand Lake as the sous chef, and that’s when his localvore instincts really started kicking in. “We were getting produce from a farm called Mo-

rales Farms. She [farmer Carol Morales] had the best, sugarysweet asparagus,â&#x20AC;? he remembers.

But sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d occasionally drop off stuff that was out of the ordinary. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She would start bringing random stuff, like a case of wild raspberries and gooseberries and say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Can you use these?â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

Buchanan says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And I did. I made pan-seared dry scallops with gooseberry and raspberry coulis.â&#x20AC;? A prankster co-worker entered the dish in the restaurantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s computer as â&#x20AC;&#x153;scallops Frankenberry.â&#x20AC;? The impetus behind the fruity experiment? â&#x20AC;&#x153;If itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in season, you should really try to utilize it in a productive way,â&#x20AC;? Buchanan posits.

The chef had met his future wife Jess at 10-cent-wing night, and they relocated to Austin, Texas, so she could get a graduate degree in special education.

The hip college town was a bit of a shock to someone used to the slower pace of ski resorts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At that point, I thought I was a hot chef and could do anything,

the farmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meat for the inn, was looking for a smooth operator to talk up his beef.

At Wood Creek, Buchanan has his work cut out for him. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We hope to one day be as accessible as Misty Knoll,â&#x20AC;? he says. And slowly but surely, the intensely flavored, dry-aged ground beef is showing up in local restaurants.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exciting that Vermont foodies can sink their teeth into delicious, homegrown burgers in more and more places. But just as exciting is the exposure local restaurants and growers are getting via â&#x20AC;&#x153;Feast in the Making,â&#x20AC;? which scored a write-up in The MontrĂŠal Gazette last Saturday. Author Denise Duguay demonstrated the showâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s potential to boost tourism, suggesting that MontrĂŠalers check out â&#x20AC;&#x153;Feastâ&#x20AC;? for â&#x20AC;&#x153;some very good ideas for what to eat in Vermont and where to find it.â&#x20AC;?

But Buchanan isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t posturing like the Green Mountain Rachael Ray just yet. He declares

but on the menu, it should say â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;boil in a bag.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? That might be taking common language a bit too far, but Buchananâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s populist ideals are refreshing.

And even with seven years of cooking experience under his belt, he admits to learning a few things every time he tapes a new show. For example, he was startled when he saw Hugo using apple blossoms to garnish a side salad. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I asked, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t those things kill you?â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? he says. Hugo assured him the flowers arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t toxic. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I guess that was just one of those things my mom told me,â&#x20AC;? Buchanan says sheepishly.

Perhaps Mom was just trying to protect her apple crop from the budding chef.

Right now, the second season of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Feast in the Makingâ&#x20AC;? is on the rocks. Explains Buchanan, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The show was underwritten with a rural development grant from the USDA, but VPT lost that grant last year.

Unfortunately, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very moneybased right now. We need

SEAN BUCHANAN

but suddenly I was making salads at a restaurant not many people went to . . . It was a really big change to be in a place where the labor pool was endless, and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a dime a dozen,â&#x20AC;? says Buchanan. But the painful lesson wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t overlooked. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It taught me a lot about who I was . . . and I realized I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t better than anybody else . . . Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m still cocky, but just not as cocky,â&#x20AC;? he says slyly, â&#x20AC;&#x153;so you can imagine how horrible it was before.â&#x20AC;?

Once Jess had her degree in hand, the young couple opted to come to Vermont, both for the up-and-coming food scene and the progressive schools. Buchanan jumped right into a job at the Basin Harbor Club, then took a position as executive chef at the struggling Middlebury Inn. There, he brought in a slew of local cheeses, elk from Red Rock Elk Ranch, Misty Knoll chicken and beef from Wood Creek.

Despite Buchananâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s elation at updating and improving the Innâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cuisine, days were long and stressful. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There was a lot of buzz about it [the food], but it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fill the restaurant every single night . . . the volume was always inconsistent,â&#x20AC;? he claims.

After two years, Buchanan began searching for a more traditional 9-to-5. Luckily, Chip Morgan of Wood Creek, whom heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d met when he began buying

with typical understatement that the first season of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Feastâ&#x20AC;? is â&#x20AC;&#x153;a watchable show . . . people can sit through 30 minutes and not pull out their hair and say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Public television sucks.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

For all his modesty, Buchananâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s telegenic ease helps keep the show from dragging. During a special episode that aired last week, he spent some time at The Lake-View Restaurant on Shelburne Road, where Chef David Hugo, also of the Starry Night CafĂŠ, prepared a veggie potpie with fiddleheads and pheasantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s back mushrooms. As Hugo chopped and stirred, Buchanan pattered. When Hugo dropped some onions into an oil-coated pan, he asked if the pan was already hot. As the fiddleheads came into play, he explained to the audience that the green curls are young ferns, which led to a discussion about foraging.

To a foodie, such points are pretty elementary. But Buchanan believes in clarifying them for those not in the know. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really important in food programming,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sometimes we get too chef-y.â&#x20AC;?

Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not crazy about insider lingo at restaurants, either. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So many people feel like idiots when they read some frou-frou menu,â&#x20AC;? Buchanan explains. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great to do sous-vide chicken,

about $70,000 of underwriting to do 10 more episodes.â&#x20AC;?

Given Buchananâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s accomplished salesmanship and unbridled exuberance, though, the chances the show will pull through seem pretty good.

In the meantime, he takes the occasional breather to spend time with his family.

On a recent evening at home in Addison, Buchanan moved easily from his open kitchen with its stainless-steel fridge to the scenic deck, as he cooked up potato-zucchini fritters with a garlicky topping and grilled some Wood Creek steaks. Proving that he can think on his feet just as well off-camera as on, he whipped up an improvised dessert with ingredients provided by a guest.

In Buchananâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nimble hands, a bag of cherries, a chocolate bar, maple-glazed nuts and some goat cheese were transformed into warm cherry-and-goat-cheesestuffed crĂŞpes topped with melted chocolate and chopped nuts. Sophia looked on, too young to covet the concoction â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but when sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s older, this kidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lunchboxes may just be the envy of the playground. > â&#x20AC;&#x153;Feast in the Makingâ&#x20AC;? airs Wednesdays at :30 p.m. and Saturdays at 12:30 p.m. on Vermont Public Television.

BY DAN BOLLES

Saturday features the oddball stylings of local carnie folk The Dirtminers. For more on them, read the review of their new disc, American Typewriter, in this week’s edition. They’re awfully good, and they’re quite literally bringing the circus with them — as well as local singer-songwriter Mia Adams and Nashville product Amelia White.

Closing out the night will be the jam-rock noodlings of Hubbardton’s own Twiddle. Far out, man.

Sunday features a group bearing of my favorite local band names, Crazyhearse. The band describes their sound as “an intoxicating blend of Americana, punk rock and Transylvanian folklore.” Color me intrigued.

Local Celtic supergroup Longford Row wrap things up with a slew of traditional reels and shanties sure to provide a fitting end to a great weekend of nautically themed rockin’. Ahoy!

Most of you are probably already aware of the two big shows happening this weekend at Burlington’s Waterfront Park. For those who aren’t: NEWSFLASH! Pink Floyd-tribute act The Machine are playing the Waterfront this Saturday — complete with a trippy laser light show! And Grace Potter and the Nocturnals are playing on the same stage with Josh Ritter on Sunday. Now that we’ve gotten that out of the way, let’s move along, shall we?

What you may not know is that all three groups are playing as part of the 2007 Lake Champlain Maritime Festival, which is a broad celebration of the one-time Sixth Great Lake’s history and heritage.

All sorts of nautical niftiness will be on display throughout the Waterfront district this weekend, from canoe and kayak races to antique boat exhibitions to arts and crafts and Dragon Boat demonstrations.

But we don’t really care about all that, do we? What about the About 10 years ago I had a heated debate with music?

SINE LANGUAGE One of the best nuggets of wisdom that Casey Rae-Hunter imparted before he left town was that when local experimental artist Greg Davis tells you something is cool, it is. It’s sage advice and we’d all do well to heed it. Check this out: This Thursday, the Firehouse Gallery plays host to Lullatone, who are pretty much the Japanese version of The Smittens, who are conveniently opening the show. I’m guessing it’ll be like one of those super-creepy Asian horror movies about doppelgangers that always get turned into not-so-creepy American horror movies about doppelgangers. Only, you know, cute and stuff.

The band’s philosophy is that “minimalism is cute,” and you know what? They’re right. Primarily employing sine tones — pure notes with no harmonics — the group creates what they call “pillow pop music with a bedtime beat.” That’s a pretty good description, so we’ll go with that. If you go, bring some PJs.

GO DOWN, MOSES It’s always a bummer when I run out of space to review CDs. Since we only run two every week and my desk is usually overflowing with worthy — and not-so-worthy — candidates, choosing when to review certain records is a real challenge. I couldn’t fit this artist’s CD in this week, but I thought it might be a good idea to let you know about him anyway.

Moses Atwood is a terrific singer-songwriter.

Originally based in Portland, Maine, he’s been living out of his van in Burlington this summer, just trying to get his music heard. His self-titled debut is a stunning collection of dirty Delta-blues-flavored ruminations on life, death and all the devils, angels and whiskey bottles one meets in the interim. He was recently named Portland’s best songwriter by The Phoenix and will be appearing on an upcoming compilation for Veterans Against the MOSES ATWOOD Iraq War — more on that soon.

This Thursday, Atwood will be performing at The Skinny Pancake.

If you haven’t been there yet, it’s a great venue, especially for Atwood’s intimately soul-jarring — and scarring — music. Go check him out. You’ll be glad you did. �

GRAND PRIX :: Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a while since weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen or heard from honky-tonk hero/nationally touring sideman Brett Hughesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; mini supergroup,

Monoprix.

Perhaps theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve just been busy with other things. Combined, the

trioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s members play with about half the bands in Burlington: The Cush, Heller Highwater, Ryan Power, Inner Fire District, The Cleary Brothers, The Lowell Thompson Band and on and on. Well, the boys are back together and will be serving up dieselfumed, vibrato-soaked swamp rock at a slew of local venues in the coming weeks before heading to NYC for a three-gig stint.

Catch â&#x20AC;&#x2122;em this Thursday night at Montpelierâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Black Door Bar & Bistro, Friday at the Red Mill in Vergennes, and/or Saturday night for the hometown throwdown at the Monkey House in Winooski.

reviewthis THE DIRTMINERS, AMERICAN TYPEWRITER (Animalville, CD)

Preconceptions infect nearly every aspect of American culture, informing our opinions on everything from literature and movies to politics and celebrity with what we think we know, often erroneously. It’s an unfortunate yet inherently human phenomenon that rears its deceitful head far too frequently, especially in music criticism.

Case in point: When I got my hands on American Typewriter, the new album from The Dirtminers, I thought I had a pretty good idea of what I was in for. The album’s cover features a carnival sideshow barker, which immediately brought to mind the devilishly vaudevillian old-time sounds of The Squirrel Nut Zippers. But, as the saying goes, you can’t judge a book by its cover, and the adage is just as true for CDs. As it turns out, The Dirtminers are a rock band. And a pretty darned good one at that. Led by selfdescribed Vermontario carnie Ralph Worrick, the quartet trades in quirky, riff-laden pop, centered around his catchy guitar hooks and subtly charming lyrics.

“Sweet Loneliness” opens the record, with a swirl of cymbal rolls giving way to a Middle Eastern groove that serves as a jaunty backdrop for Worrick’s heartfelt ruminations on love lost. It’s a touching tune that showcases the songwriter’s unique approach by contrasting dour lyrics with unconventional rhythmic patterns and modal twists. Though not especially groundbreaking, it’s effective and whets the listener’s appetite for what follows.

Which is mostly topnotch pop songcraft, ably played by Worrick’s crack backing band. Organist Ron Rost lays down tasteful, sparkling, atmospheric keyboard work, while multi-instrumentalist Matt Rogalsky offers understated but savvy turns on bass, steel guitar and backing vocals.

If you’re looking for a genuine ringer behind the skins, look no further than esteemed drummer Russ Lawton. The part-time Vermonter’s work throughout the disc is a telling reminder of just why the dude seems to show up on half of the better local releases year in and year out.

There are certainly a few duds here and there — such as “My Lovely Assistant.” But more often than not, The Dirtminers serve up intelligent, crafty tunes that channel some the era’s finer rock and Americana acts.

In fact, several tracks could reasonably pass as B-sides by the rock-infused alt-country supergroup Golden Smog — think Down By the Old Mainstream’s “Empty Boys and Girls,” “Coffee All Morning” and the title track.

American Typewriter challenged my preconceived ideas, and I’m glad it did. Shed your own prejudices and head down to the Lake Champlain Maritime festival this Saturday when The Dirtminers play ringmaster with local singer-songwriters Mia Adams, Amelia White and — I’m not making this up — some genuine carnies.

TIMOTHY JAMES & HIFIDELIC, MAGIC SUMMER DAYS (Self-released, CD) Timothy James must be one happy guy.

Like, obnoxiously happy. Perhaps it’s my jaded East Coast effrontery, but generally speaking, perky, happy-go-lucky folks drive me to drink. Although, to be fair, lots of stuff drives me to drink. Rainy days. Sunny days. Boredom. Over-stimulation. Happiness. Sadness. Jam bands.

Tuesdays. But I digress. Back to the point, Mr. James must be one happy guy, and his latest recording, Magic Summer Days, is the sort of album I once would have dismissed as written by someone who’d undergone a frontal lobotomy and had access to some seriously high-test pharmaceuticals. Well, perhaps I’m softening in my old age, but I really dig the Bay Area transplant’s new disc. Just don’t tell my monthly Nick Drake-fan support/suicide-watch group.

First things first: This album is cheesy. Unabashedly cheesy. Gloriously cheesy. Triumphantly cheesy.

It’s Hall and Oates cheesy. But goddamn it if it isn’t good.

James and his six-piece band Hifidelic know exactly what they’re doing. Much like Paul Verhooven knew he was making a commercially unviable cult classic with the audaciously unerotic cheese-fest Showgirls. James and Co. have crafted an homage to a bygone era when big mustaches and butterfly collars ruled the clubs and blue-eyed Mellotron soul ruled the airwaves. Burt Bacharach would be proud.

I could give you a track-by-track rundown, but it seems unnecessary. There isn’t a cut on the record that lacks groovy, psychedelic charm. It’s that sort of Dean Martin-as-Matt Helm — or, for the kiddies, Mike Meyers-as-Austin Powers — groovy that harkens to a more innocently sexy time.

There are moments of Steely Dan-esque rockin’. And there are some nifty dual guitar licks that hint at more sinister motives. But most of the disc is as sunny and hepcat-cool as the title suggests.

Warning: This disc is probably not for everyone. Those of you who prefer music that really means something, man, might want to stay away. But that’s not to say there’s no meaning in Timothy James & the Hifidelic’s work. It just means that sunny California lounge-rock is alive and well in the cold Northeast. And we should be happy about that. Obnoxiously happy.

The (Show) Times, They Are A-nnoying, Part 2 LIVE REVIEW: The Kamikaze Hearts, Farm at Kriya Studio, Burlington, Saturday, August 11

BY DAN BOLLES

I

’m on fire! Two weeks. Two shows. Two gold stars for punctuality. Way to go, me!

For those who missed it, last week I recounted a harrowing tale of vehicular peril on Route 2 in an effort to make it to the church — a.k.a. Higher Ground — on time. It was close, but I did it, and there was much rejoicing — at least among the six people who bothered to check out local electro-jammers Panda Watch and Canadian dance-geeks Shout Out Out Out Out. This week would actually prove to be a bit more difficult. I eschewed piloting my Scandinavian motorcar in favor of using my legs.

However, finding the mysterious Kriya Studio was a challenge.

If you haven’t been yet, Kriya is officially located at 333 North Winooski Avenue. Sounds easy enough, right? The trick is that the eclectic artists’ collective is actually behind the old bus station that now houses Global Market and a laundromat. It’s confusing at first, but the Kriya folks were kind enough to put a sandwichboard sign out front directing traffic around the building. Thanks, guys!

To make a long, dull story short, I managed to find the venue after no small amount of head scratching and searching for

local acts, and their sophomore release has been in heavy rotation on my iPod. As is the case with many newer groups in town, I’ve been meaning to check them out live for a while. But due to the many demands on my nocturnal activities, the timing had just never really worked out. Until tonight.

A little after 7:30 p.m. the band sought brief refuge in the Farm-mobile — a beatup Ford pickup — and re-emerged looking uniformly un-dapper in matching old, white dress shirts and well-worn blue jeans.

Strapping on a pair of beloved old guitars, the trio took the stage and, true to form, began their set with “St. Albans Blues,” an eerie little ditty with a ghostly trumpet melody.

One of the things I love about Grey Birds is its spine-chilling dissonance and genuinely creepy melodic turns and lyrical imagery. In a live setting, the boys didn’t disappoint, tearing through a terrific set of ghastly tunes that ably captured the spookier aspects of small-town New England life. It’s almost as if their songs were ghostwritten — pardon the pun— by FARM Gothic mystery master John Bellairs. Good stuff. before the estimable Casey Rae-Hunter flew A few technical difficulties aside, Farm the coop. was in fine form all night, each member of As per the Dark Lord’s recommendation, the band switching instruments — drums, Farm has quickly become one of my favorite a secret magical entrance. Man, I’ve really got to stop reading Harry Potter.

So, once again, I was on time — early, actually — and once again, I was rewarded by being pretty much the only member of the audience. When am I going to learn?

I spent the next half-hour chatting with the guys from St. Alban’s finest indie-rock trio, Farm, who justifiably saw no reason to start at the advertised 7 p.m. start time.

Over Budweiser and Camel Lights we talked about the hassles of playing in Burlington, the band’s intriguingly named rehearsal/ studio space, “The Cave of Legends,” and their latest record Grey Birds, which was glowingly reviewed in these pages shortly

guitars, bass and synths — nearly every song. The crowd that began to trickle in over the course of their set was rewarded with some truly excellent local music in a cozily inviting setting.

Next up were KAMIKAZE HEARTS The Kamikaze Hearts, whose latest disc, Oneida Road, was favorably reviewed by yours truly in last week’s edition. I’ve been a fan of the Albany-based quintet for a few years now and was very excited to catch them live in such an intimate room. I was not let down.

The band breezily chatted with the crowd while tuning various folky instruments — lap steel, mandolin, acoustic guitar, etc. — and then somehow managed to maintain the friendly interplay while burning through a blistering set.

Fans of the Avett Brothers, Okkervil River or local bluegrass faves The Powder Kegs would do well to check out the KH’s new disc. Their brand of pop-inflected folk-rock is catchy as hell and is on par with or better than any of the aforementioned acts.

Fortunately, there were a few local booking dudes in attendance that evening who were as taken with both bands as I was, meaning we should be seeing more of both groups in the very near future. Stay tuned. �

happy trails From 1910 to 1930, members of the Green Mountain Club labored to construct the Long Trail, a 270-mile strip connecting Massachusetts to Canada. This weekend, Rutlandbased outdoor enthusiasts generate enthusiasm for backpack touring at a festival honoring the oldest longdistance hiking trail in the U.S. More than a dozen musical acts, including Middle Eastern-influenced duo 35th Parallel and old-time string band The Bogstompers, round out a trail mix of guided hikes, environmental presentations and seminars about hiker safety, etiquette and on-thego cooking. Author Rick McKinney presents his book Dead Men Hike No Trails, and backwoods raconteur Willem Lange entertains with an hour of Long Trail-inspired yarns. The whole festival is free, but tenters, take note: Preregistration is a must for people planning to camp on site.

scene@ COLCHESTER CAUSEWAY/ISLAND LINE TRAIL,

LAKE CHAMPLAIN, SUNDAY, AUGUST 12, 12 NOON.

pHoTo: keiTH morrill

Brisk winds and choppy water couldn’t stop scores of runners, walkers and bikers from crossing a 200-foot gap in the Colchester Causeway — all without getting their feet wet. An impressive trick, for even the fittest of the bunch. Of course, they had a little help in the form of their friendly neighborhood Bike Ferry. I rejected both bike and running shoes and walked to the causeway, a trip long enough to turn my “farmer’s tan” from bad to worse.

The Bike Ferry, provided by Local Motion (www.localmotion.org) and the South Hero Rec Path Committee, operates for four weekends in August to help otherwise land-locked sojourners travel between Colchester Point and South Hero. Five-dollar donations were suggested for a round-trip ride, though this isn’t sufficient to keep the project afloat. Area businesses help out, too, and local residents serve as volunteer staff.

Two of the latter are Karen Browning and Rosemary Zemore, both of South Hero, who spent last Sunday morning behind a fold-out table, collecting donations, greeting passengers, and dispensing recreation-oriented literature. The ferry is “good for the economy and good for health,” Zemore declared.

By noon she and Browning had already seen nearly 75 passengers, including a man with moose antlers mounted on his handlebars. Interesting Vermonters aside, the ride was also an attraction for bikers from other states and Canada. One group of cyclists ventured all the way from New Jersey — for the third consecutive year — to put in some time on the bike path. “We keep coming back because it’s so beautiful,” said one biker. “This is like a bicyclist’s dream right here. It’s one of the best rail trails I’ve ever seen,” he added, referring to the causeway’s former life as a line for the Rutland Railroad.

Most of the traffic seemed to be headed island-ward, from Colchester to South Hero. I liked to think it was because people were sneaking over to Snow Farm Vineyard and filling up the tank before teetering back to the Greater Burlington area. Yet, despite the vineyard’s proximity, I didn’t detect any passengers slurring their speech or exuding wine breath — just travelers looking for good clean fun. Which suggests that most bicyclists are more disciplined than I might have been.

AGUA FRESCA

Produced by

Although “maritime” implies saltwater, visitors to the Lake Champlain Maritime Festival shouldn’t let their spirits be dampened by the fact that the get-wet fiesta celebrates a body of fresh H2O. Canal-centered shipping connected midwestern states to the Atlantic during the lake’s nautical heyday, as evidenced by vintage vessels on display. Curious passersby examine tugboats and ferries, explore shipwrecks, or take a ride in a sailing sloop, while science-minded types board UVM’s biological research boat or tour the U.S. Coast Guard Center. Kids can enjoy knot-tying demos, crafts, a floating parade and amusement rides, while kayak and canoe races connect modern-day paddlers to the past. Come evening, separate shows by Pink Floyd tribute band The Machine and Grace Potter & the Nocturnals entertain waterfront strollers with spillover sound.

TONE HOME Since Japan headquarters all things cute, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no surprise thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the home of Lullatone. The Nagoya-based band consists of composer-instrumentalist Shawn James Seymour and vocalist Yoshimi Tomida, who craft electronic soundscapes from nifty material â&#x20AC;&#x201D; pillows being pummeled, say, or a chorus of Japanese juniorhigh girls singing a single syllable â&#x20AC;&#x201D; then layer them with wide-eyed lyrics. Their 2003 release asked â&#x20AC;&#x153;how raindrops might sound if they fell like music notes.â&#x20AC;? The follow-up? Plays Pajama Pop Pour Vous, a dreamy disc featuring songs in the key of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bedroom Bossa Nova.â&#x20AC;? Burlington-based pop darlings The Smittens wrap up their summer tour by hosting Lullatoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rock-a-bye grooves at a cozy concert sure to make listeners feel like theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re lounging in their living rooms. Go ahead â&#x20AC;&#x201D; wear your PJs.

Theatre Guild Book and Lyrics by Greg Kotic • Music and Lyrics by Mark Hollmann Produced on Broadway by Araca Group & Dodger Theatricals in association with TheatreDreams, Inc & Lauren Mitchell

“Nothing like a bad title to kill a musical.” Hysterical production that spoofs taxes, love, politicians, scarce resources and music theatre.

Does the boy get the girl, are oppressive taxes are repealed? Does Senator Fipp make it to Rio & does everyone else live happily ever after?

Participate in a clinical research study to determine the effect of ovarian hormones on metabolism.

You must: • Have regular menstrual cycles.

• Not be taking oral contraceptives or be willing to discontinue them for the study.

SOUND & SPIRIT Feel-good vibes are great, but sometimes music gets more metaphysical. Senegalese musician Youssoupha Sidibe explores the divine side of dance rhythms, accompanying Sufi devotional chants from Senegal’s Baay Faal community on the kora, a harp-like instrument indigenous to West Africa. The international artist’s angelic tunes have led to cross-genre collaborations with musicians ranging from Charles Neville and Spearhead to Michael Franti and Bela Fleck. World-music admirers plug into Sidibe’s ethereal arpeggios at a concert presented by the Yoga Mountain Center of Montpelier, with background sounds from a trio on drums, bass and percussion. Can’t make it to Middlesex? Sidibe also headlines an Afrobeat show at Burlington’s Club Metronome on the 17th, supported by rhythms from nine-member North Carolina ensemble Afromotive and dynamic Queen City drum-and-dance troupe Jeh Kulu.

WOMEN seeking MEN SLEEPLESS IN VT.....

I am looking for a friend who needs a friend.

I prefer this person to be someone who has a full-time job and understands the pressures of everyday life. Intelligent yet witty and down to earth. I am in the process of discovering who I am. Do you want to be my penpal? I have a strong personality. Tell it like it is. Reserved, too. SleeplessinVT, 34, l, #106177 PERSPICACIOUS, CALM, AND LOVING LIFE Wanted: Friends and Soulmate. Sailing, music, social change, constant learning, fine dining, good conversation, kids and animals bring me joy. If you’re a man who’s smart, rugged, wellread, and driven to have the best things in life – realizing that the best are seldom the most expensive – we’re likely to find a spark.

Will you give us a chance? Caoimhe, 40, #106171 RELAXED BUT FUN AQUARIAN I am a pretty chill person, I love to be social but spend a lot of time working. I am an open, compassionate person, who loves my cat. I am young at heart and spirit, I like to go out as much as staying in. I am loyal, realistic, and truthful and looking for the same traits in a partner. Amesly, 28, l, #103854 BOUNCING ENERGETIC LAUGHING JOYBRINGER Love laughing, happy, have beautiful eyes.

Spend my time creating, dancing, singing, baking, cooking, exercising, reading and relaxing. Looking for friendship (love new people) or a relationship. If you’re afraid of getting serious, you need not apply. Enjoy being seduced, I’m a rough and tumble kind of gal. My favorite haunt is the local tea house.

Always up for a new adventure, let’s get up and go! NellPoo, 20, l, #106168 CARING, SENSITIVE, ARTICULATE I’m a voluptuous (prefer that term, as opposed to full-figured) brunette with a lot to give and a lot to offer the right person. Looking to start a relationship, but definitely the see what develops type of person. Easygoing, happy, family-oriented, avid reader, curl up on the couch with a good book and watch a DVD. Just looking for the special someone. morethemerrier, 34, #106163 FULL FEMME FATALE Where have all the nice guys gone? If that’s you, then let’s make it happen. Looking for a man who respects women and would like one in his life. Must love animals (cats optional)and have a sense of humor, boring guys don’t bother. If you’re kind, caring, fun and ready to meet a woman of substance, then bring it on. 4real37, 37, #106138 QUIET, COMPASSIONATE, VERMONTER SEEKS...

A companion for life’s journey. I enjoy good conversation and moments of silence. I look forward to each day. I like to stay home or spend time out with friends. I am looking for someone who enjoys all life has to offer and to share ideas and interests. trillium65, 42, #106106

Based in Vermont, willing to travel. ann1234, 59, u, #106150 WICKED WIT OF THE EAST I have a wicked, irreverent sense of humor about everything, including myself. Your moral compass may not match my own, but it is important that you have one. I am stubborn, but I can be sweet. I’m tall, curvy and strong. I was once compared to the masthead of a ship, but so far no one has gotten any splinters. wiccagirl1724, 38, l, #106133

HI BTOWN. I am looking for good company, a good laugh, and, okay, let’s be honest, a love connection. I am an aspiring writer who likes to give money to homeless people and my guilty pleasure is for ridiculously stupid TV shows. If you like to laugh, talk, sleep in, and be all romantic about it, drop me a line. alphacode, 25, l, #105951

ENERGETIC, LAID-BACK, AFFECTIONATE, FUN. I’m interested in meeting a healthy and fit young woman who shares interests and has some really cool ones of her own.

Mistress

Maeve

Your Gracious Guide to Love & Lust!

Dear Mistress Maeve, My boyfriend recently told me that his ex-girlfriend used to stick her finger in his butt while giving him oral sex. I’m assuming he’d like me to do it, too, since he told me about it. I’m a little hesitant because I’ve never done it before. I’m nervous about it being messy (eww!), and I have long fingernails. (I don’t want to hurt him or cut my manicured nails.)

Advice? Tips?

Dear L.P., First things first: If you’re going to play with his ass, get over your fear of shit. Here’s a quick anatomy lesson: Feces collects in the colon and only enters the rectum shortly before you feel the need to go number two. So, as long as he has a bowel movement prior to anal play, you’re only likely to encounter trace amounts of feces. Keep a towel or baby wipe close by to clean up any minor messes that may occur.

In addition, wear rubber gloves (get the powder-free kind). Wearing

gloves will not only shield your delicate hands from any unsightly messes, but it will also help protect the sensitive skin of his ass from your manicured lady claws. For added protection, wrap your finger with a bandage or gauze before slipping on the glove. (You can also stuff the tip with a cotton ball.)

I’m partial to brunets, too JC - you told me you were “partial to brunettes” after glimpsing my license.

Thanks for making me smile when I came in all sick, stuffy, and miserable. I’m feeling better now, so I guess I won’t see you this week after all... When: Wednesday, August 8, 2007. Where: Medical facility.

You: Man. Me: Woman. #902124 Imperial Rolls as foodie fodder I should’ve left my friend lonesome in the checkout line at City Market and joined you on your quest for Imperial Rolls. Did you find what you were looking for, or are you still looking? Whether I call myself a foodie or not, I love exploring the culinary nooks and crannies. My tastebuds are at your service. When: Saturday, August 11, 2007. Where: City Market. You: Woman.

Me: Man. u #902123 Hey piratesgoyarr!

I just found out I can’t send regular emails on here anymore, so here’s an I Spy. How are you? You sound like a lot of fun. What are your thoughts on donuts? When: Saturday, August 11, 2007. Where: right here. You: Woman. Me: Man. #902122

L.P.

i Spy...

Once your finger is suited up and properly lubricated with plenty

of water-based lube, you’re prepared for pleasure. Now, don’t just jam your finger in there; do what we wish every man would do and take your time. Warm him up with some oral and let your tongue explore his nether regions. Tease him with your finger and, if you’re so inclined, make him beg for it. Insert your finger slowly and savor the power of being the giver of penetration, rather than the receiver. From there, if he’s a good partner, he’ll guide you and show you what he likes. All you have to do is “back” him up.
