ROUGH RIDE

Home Sweet Group Home As Shay Totten reports on Blurt, the Seven Days staff blog, contractors from Lakewind Construction worked overtime to finish the building ahead of schedule. Residents were able to move in on Monday.

Both the diocese and the college have been trying to relocate the group home ever since — Burlington College wants to turn the building into a student dormitory — but the HowardCenter was having a hard time finding housing for the residents, many of whom have been diagnosed with acute mental illness.

Debra Clemmer, the home’s on-site psychiatric nurse, reports that the residents were “really looking forward to the move. They are also glad to be staying together,” she tells Totten. “It was important for them to maintain that sense of community.” Some of the residents have lived together for more than 30 years.

In April, a Vermont judge ordered the three organizations into mediation. The session produced a plan to move the residents into a Champlain Housing Trust property on St. Paul Street by the end of August.

hen Gov. PETER SHUMLIN signed into law changes to Vermont’s public-records law — making it easier for citizens to see the inner workings of state government — he said his administration’s role was to “take care of Vermonters, not hide things from Vermonters,” and to create a “transparent, open government that lets people know what we’re doing and why we’re doing it.” Sounds great, right? The gov may need to repeat that quote to some of his appointees, particularly the folks at the Agency of Natural Resources — an agency led by former Secretary of State DEB MARKOWITZ, whose previous job was to oversee the state’s public-records law. ANR is refusing to release more than 500 emails, and countless other documents, that the agency exchanged with Green Mountain Power between January and July.

However, I wasn’t directly involved in those negotiations.” Since Dostis wasn’t involved, you’d think Team Shumlin would release their communications with the administration, right? Wrong.

Groveman, have been deemed off limits. Asked for a complete list of the confidential records, Groveman said ANR would charge as much as $1200 for the goods. Didn’t realize freedom of information could be so pricey. ANNETTE SMITH, of Vermonters for a Clean Environment, received a comparable price quote. Smith has wrangled more embarrassing public documents from regulators in her day than have most full-time Vermont journalists. “I’m appalled. I’ve been doing this for 12 years and I’ve never seen anything like this — we’ve never been [refused] information about agreements and permits before,” said Smith. “ANR is acting as though GMP is their client — or vice versa. It’s hard to tell just who is representing whom. But they certainly don’t seem to be representing the public.”

University of Vermont and his wife, RACHEL

made personnel decisions that created a “an environment negatively affecting morale.” Kahn-Fogel’s relationship with a top UVM administrator was “inappropriate and imprudent.” Those are the major findings of the university’s internal investigation, prompted originally by a Seven Days records request that called public attention to the relationship between KahnFogel and MICHAEL SCHULTZ, associate vice president of development. When that story broke in May, UVM immediately removed Kahn-Fogel from her duties, including in the fundraising office. The UVM review determined that Kahn-Fogel didn’t break any university policies or state laws. It also revealed that no policies were in place at UVM to govern either Kahn-Fogel’s “job” or her interactions with staff. “I want to express both my regret that this situation was allowed to continue for as long as it did, and my confidence that we will effectively address these types of issues going forward,” said UVM Board of Trustees chairman ROB CIOFFI. Cioffi admitted that some board members likely knew of strife between Kahn-Fogel and some staff. “I don’t think the board was completely unaware. People may have been aware of individual pieces of this, but it took this internal review to show the overall picture,” he said. Cioffi admitted employees left UVM as a result of the bad morale, but declined to say how many, or how much the university forked over in severance pay to keep the departures quiet and lawsuit free. UVM did announce last week that Schultz will be paid his $155,000 salary through the end of 2012, and that his three kids can attend the university tuition free. UVM also agreed to pay up to $15,000 to Schultz’s attorney, Burlington lawyer RICHARD CASSIDY. In return, Schultz agreed not to sue the university — you know, for not breaking any laws or violating his rights.

Rehabilitating Reputation

While Gov. Peter Shumlin urged outgoing president Dan Fogel to rehab his reputation with Vermonters, UVM was shelling out more cash to renovate Fogel’s new office, in the Old Mill building. So far, UVM has spent $5200 on:

Five Democrats are vying for Burlington Rep. Mark Larson’s recently vacated House seat after Gov. Shumlin appointed the five-term lawmaker commissioner of the Department of Vermont Health Access. The five are: former Ward 7 city councilors Jean o’suLLivan and CarMen GeorGe, current Ward 2 councilor DaviD Berezniak, kate neuBauer and DaviD Lines. Neubauer is executive director of the Lake Champlain Community Sailing Center. She starred in a pro-choice campaign ad for Shumlin. Lines, former co-owner of the Oasis Diner, lobbied on health care issues for the Vermont Public Interest Research Group in the 1990s. “I think I have a pretty good background as a small business owner who is engaged on health care issues,” said Lines. “I absolutely would love the job,” said O’Sullivan. “I’ve run, and won, four times in this part of the city and served on the city council.” George, who is the communications and development coordinator at Burlington College, served one two-year term on the city council. “We have a dynamic governor dedicated to job creation and I want to support his efforts to provide financial security for Vermont families,” said George. Democrats who live in the legislative district will caucus in mid-September. They’ll pick three people, and the governor will appoint one of them as Larson’s successor.

environmental science at Yale. He got a master’s in urban planning at Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government. In 1996 Weinberger worked as the state senate campaign coordinator — with then-Senate Minority Leader Peter Shumlin — to flip the senate from a 19-11 GOP majority to an 18-12 Democratic majority. He chaired the Chittenden County Democratic Party in 2004 when the party picked up six House seats to gain control of the body. Does he have what it takes to put the Dems back in control of City Hall? Weinberger said he’ll make a final decision within a few weeks. “Clearly I’m not well known throughout he city and would have to start relatively early,” said Weinberger. “As I see it, the job is in large part a mix of financial, economic development and entrepreneurial skills. Given what we have seen over the past six years, it’s painfully obvious what happens when you have a mayor who doesn’t have those skills, and I don’t think Burlington can make that mistake again.” Weinberger runs a community development and consulting firm — the Burlington-based Hartland Group. Only one candidate — Democrat State Rep. Jason LorBer — has officially entered the race. He was recently spotted sauntering with former Gov. hoWarD Dean in Burlington’s Old North End. Is Dean supporting Lorber? “I am neutral,” the gov told “Fair Game.” “I will be happy to talk to any potential candidate.” Republican councilor kurt WriGht — a two-time loser in the mayoral race — said he’ll announce soon whether he’s in or out. “I’ve been talking to supporters and people who have supported me in the past to determine if they are still backing me,” said Wright. “I just began doing that in the past two weeks.” Other candidates mulling a run include State Sen. tiM ashe (D/PChittenden) and incumbent Progressive Mayor BoB kiss. m

LOCALmatters Vermont Legalized Medical Marijuana Dispensaries Earlier This Year — So Where Are They? HEALTH CARE B Y K E N PI CA R D

andy “Wells” Ward may not be the perfect poster child for medical marijuana. She and her husband were busted in September 1988 for running a major pot-growing operation in Underhill. The longtime marijuana policy reform advocate was arrested again in February 2006 after displaying two vials of weed during a House Government Operations Committee hearing. But now the pot proponent needs marijuana not for business or recreation, but to manage her pain: The 51-year-old single mom suffers from inoperable lung cancer and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Although a glass pipe in her home suggests she’s smoking cannabis, inhalation isn’t her preferred method of drug delivery; she’s perpetually on the verge of a coughing fit.

Ward is skeletally thin, her ropy arms crisscrossed with protruding veins. Soon after her cancer diagnosis last year, she traveled to Colorado to get on that state’s medical marijuana registry. In Colorado, where medical marijuana dispensaries are abundant and highly visible and advertise prolifically in local newspapers, Ward had access to a wide selection of cannabinoid products. On the recommendation of a Vermont health care practitioner, she baked cannabis oil into her food and ate it. Ward is one of 355 patients on Vermont’s medical marijuana registry; established in 2004 by the Vermont Legislature, the law

SEVENDAYSVT.COM

failed to specify where patients could procure their “medicine.” Two months ago, Gov. Peter Shumlin rectified that by signing Act 65 into law, which permits up to four medical marijuana dispensaries in Vermont. But Ward still can’t procure cannabis oil here legally. “I’ve contacted legislators, the governor, everybody, but no one wants to talk about it,” she says. There’s been no official communication about the law establishing medical marijuana dispensaries in Vermont, where patients or their registered caregivers can buy up to two

ounces of usable cannabis per month. But when the bill was being debated, Vermont lawmakers were largely against the idea of legalizing California- or Colorado-style dispensaries that sell cannabis products in easily accessible storefronts. To that end, Act 65 capped the total number of registered dispensary “customers” at 1000, and mandated that all dispensary transactions be conducted by appointment only. No marijuana can be consumed on the premises. Plus, if a patient designates a dispensary, he or she can no longer cultivate marijuana at home. There’s no provision to allow those who grow their own to buy from a dispensary if their plants fail. When will Ward and others be able to buy their pot products legally and hassle free in Vermont? Not anytime soon, says Francis “Paco” Aumand III, director of the Division of Criminal Justice Services, the civilian arm of the Vermont Department of Public Safety. “As the law is written now,” he says, “no marijuana is to be dispensed until 2014.” That’s July 1, 2014. Vermont is the first state in the country to put its marijuana registry and dispensaries under the aegis of a law enforcement agency. The Division of Criminal Justice Services is writing the rules and regulations. But the public’s first peek at those rules and regs won’t happen before January 1, Aumand says — the next date DPS is supposed to report back to the legislature. As part of the process, Aumand is sending out a statutorily mandated questionnaire to all patients on the medical marijuana registry, asking them a host of questions about their cannabis use. Among them: What medical conditions and/or symptoms do you use marijuana to control? Do you know what strains of marijuana you use, and, if so, which ones are most effective? How much marijuana do you consume each month? And how much

would you be willing to pay per ounce? The survey is expected to go out in September. Aumand says he may add another question about whether the current law should be amended to allow patients who cultivate their own marijuana to access a dispensary if something goes wrong with their plants. Ultimately, he says, the goal is to help the state write better rules and help dispensaries better meet the needs of their patients. “One of the challenges is to develop regulations that don’t make it easy for the diversion of marijuana, while at same time don’t overburden the dispensaries from a business perspective,” he explains. “That’s kind of a unique challenge for us right now.” Indeed. Unlike marijuana dispensaries in other states, Vermont’s will be nonprofit entities, the establishment of which takes time and paperwork. And there are upfront costs. The initial application fee is $2500. If a license is granted, the owner pays $25,000 at the outset for the first year; $30,000 for each subsequent year. Legal and financial requirements haven’t discouraged wannabe legal ganja growers. Shayne Lynn, a professional photographer based in Burlington, would like to be one of Vermont’s lucky four. Lynn, 40, is a native Vermonter who says he knows several patients on the Vermont registry who have already expressed an interest in accessing his services. Thus far, Lynn has registered his nonprofit organization, Champlain Valley Dispensary, and drafted a preliminary business plan. The plan is incomplete, he admits, as he’s still waiting on the state to release its final rules. And, despite the mandatory nonprofit status and 1000-patient statewide limit, Lynn claims he’s already lined up some MEDICAL MARIJUANA

FOGEL TO SHUMLIN: THANKS, BUT I’LL KEEP THE MONEY

Welcome to ALL Students!

During sit-downs with local reporters last week, Gov. Peter Shumlin revealed he had urged former University of Vermont president Dan Fogel to give back a portion of his $600,000 severance package to quell outrage about his golden parachute. The president’s response to the governor? Thanks, but no thanks. “Governor Shumlin urged me — in the interest of ‘protecting my legacy’ — to give back some of my severance,” Fogel wrote in an email. “He asked me to consider his advice — I said that I would, reiterated that I appreciated the way he and others felt, but that I thought the kind of gesture he was recommending would satisfy only a small portion of the critics, and moreover would send a very bad signal to the marketplace — the message that even a successful president will in the future be hard-pressed to secure a post-presidential package that is quite modest by national standards.” Fogel said he appealed to Shumlin to advocate for UVM instead of criticizing it, to help recruit an “even stronger” president to replace him and to “remember that his bully pulpit as governor can send a strong message to potential candidates, for good or for ill, about Vermont’s aspirations for its one research university.” Looks like the governor got schooled.

SEVEN DAYS: Does an incident like the one last week weaken SEAL forces? BILL ATKINSON: It does ... because when you take that one individual and you look at all their experience and training that they brought to the table and brought to that operation, and then you’ve got to replace that, it takes years. So, you multiply that by all the losses on that aircraft and that mission, that’s a huge loss. A huge loss.

7 QUESTIONS FOR ... RETIRED NAVY SEAL BILL ATKINSON

Burlington resident Bill Atkinson spent 16 years as a Navy SEAL and now runs a program to recruit candidates from Vermont and other New England states for the elite military program. So he knows better than most what the U.S. military lost August 6 when insurgents in Afghanistan shot down an American Chinook helicopter, killing 30 U.S. service members, including 22 Navy SEALs. Many of those were from SEAL Team 6, the unit that killed Osama bin Laden. It was the worst single-day loss of American military personnel in the 10-year war. While Atkinson didn’t personally know any of the 22 SEALs killed last week, one of his former recruits, Brock Robinson, lost his brother, Heath, on the mission. Seven Days caught up with Atkinson, 55, last week at his North Avenue apartment to talk about the incident and how it affects SEAL members and their families.

A Bethel angler was recently busted for taking home a 31-inch Atlantic salmon he caught in the White River. He reported it as a brown trout. How did he get hooked? State biologists noticed the tagged fish was transmitting from dry land — specifically, from Ryan McCullough’s freezer. McCullough was allegedly fishing downstream of the federal fish hatchery in Bethel on July 25 when he landed the 9.5-pound, 31.5-inch-long fish and took it home to have it stuffed. He faces a $1500 fine and could lose his fishing license for three years as a result of failing to accurately identify his catch. How easy is it to mistake an Atlantic salmon for a brown trout? “Depends on the knowledge of the angler,” answers Ken Gillette, who runs the federal fish hatchery that released the salmon in question. “Someone who’s been around a lot could probably tell the difference. Sometimes people get confused.” A 9.5-pound brown trout would be a whopper. It would have qualified as the 39th biggest brown trout ever caught in Vermont and the largest ever caught in the White River, according to the Fish & Wildlife record books.

Burlington’s Ill-Fated Champlain Parkway: Are We Finally There Yet?

would worsen traffic and impact his own quality of life. Now Hunt claims to be sticking up for his neighbors, many of whom are low-income tenants in subsidized housing and immigrant families who might not have the time or resources to weigh in on the project. “Act 250 is not a process for the common guy,” Hunt observes. “You have to have a lawyer and consultants.” Before he retired, Hunt was executive director of the Vermont Housing Finance Agency, a nonprofit that “finances and promotes affordable, safe and decent housing opportunities for low- and moderateincome Vermonters,” according to the website. Pointing toward King Street from his front porch, Hunt says the blocks that will bear the brunt of increased traffic are some of the poorest in the city — with high rates of subsidized housing — and that higher-income homeowners in the neighborhood may move out if traffic becomes intolerable. The traffic configuration at the MaplePine corner is currently so bad that it gets an “F” in the city’s ranking of local intersections, indicating “extreme delays” for motorists. But the Champlain Parkway solution will barely improve that grade. Even with a new stoplight and turn lane, the city anticipates the intersection would score a “C” grade during the morning commute and a “D” during the afternoon commute. A D grade indicates “long delays” of 35 to 55 seconds to get through. Still, Hunt isn’t getting much of a rise out of people. The sentiment among many business owners, he says, is: What’s so bad about more cars passing my business? To which Hunt responds, If people think the parkway is too slow, they’ll avoid it altogether. “Normally in Burlington, you should be able to get people to oppose anything. That’s just the way Burlington is,” Hunt says as a black Chevy Blazer lurches past, blaring Eminem through its tinted windows. “But that’s not the case here.” Maybe that’s because most Burlingtonians support the idea? “I’d say it’s because it’s been going on for so long, people don’t believe it’s going to happen,” Hunt replies. “A lot of people confuse it with the Circ Highway, and they think, Isn’t that project dead? The governor pulled the plug.” Hunt and others challenge justifications for the highway by pointing out that the actual number of trucks driving through South End neighborhoods is unknown. City officials estimate that of the roughly 14,000 daily vehicular trips, 10 to 15 percent — between 1400 and 2100 trips per

llan Hunt watches from his front porch on Maple Street as rushhour traffic inches east toward the most congested four-way stop in Burlington. Staked into Hunt’s greenbelt is a homemade sign with a message to all who pass: “Stop the Champlain Parkway!” A man driving a silver Toyota Tundra notices the sign and yells out his window to Hunt, “What’s the Champlain Parkway?” “It’s a highway they want to build down Pine Street,” Hunt answers. “That would be great!” the driver says. “Not if you live here,” Hunt replies as the silver pickup roars through the dreaded intersection at Maple and Pine. Hunt has been planting his signs in strategically placed South End greenbelts in anticipation of yet another milestone for the long-stalled highway project. After 45 years of delays and false starts, the $25 million Southern Connector — since renamed the Champlain Parkway — is in Act 250 permit hearings. If the city clears that final hurdle — and Hunt doesn’t appeal the panel’s decision — road construction could begin as early as next year. The Champlain Parkway now under consideration is nothing like the grandiose plan envisioned four decades ago. What started as a four-lane, limited-access highway that would zoom alongside Lake Champlain has been downsized to a twolane, pedestrian-friendly urban boulevard beautified with trees and new sidewalks. The abandoned portion of the original road, which is sprouting weeds off Interstate 189, would be torn up and reconfigured into a gentler road with 30-miles-per-hour speed limits. But the project’s goal remains the same: to divert traffic — particularly noisy truck traffic — from residential side streets such as Flynn and Home avenues onto a central thoroughfare. Now that it might actually happen, a small but dedicated group of opponents are speaking out against a road project they view as outdated, expensive and unnecessary. Hunt, who lives at 89 Maple Street and owns a four-unit rental property next door, has given out 30 anti-parkway lawn signs. He also recently hired a lawyer, Frank Kochman of Burlington, and a traffic consultant to counter the city’s experts during the Act 250 hearings. He testified at the first of three, on July 26, and will speak about noise, air quality and traffic impacts at the other two scheduled meetings, on August 23 and 31. Hunt has opposed the parkway for years. At first, he says, his motivations were self-serving: He worried the road change

day — are tractor-trailers hauling lumber, heating oil, stone and salt to industrial areas off Pine Street. Hunt doesn’t believe the information was deliberately omitted from the application but says, “It seems like we’re missing a key piece of information.” Public Works engineer Carol Weston, the project’s local overseer, explains that

while no actual counts exist, it’s typical to estimate truck trips as a percentage of overall traffic, and that Burlington has done exact counts in the past. “It’s fair to say that there are a lot of trucks,” she says, adding that she believes truck traffic has stayed level over the last several years. “It’s not the majority of traffic, it’s just that their impact is heavier — they’re loud and have loud braking systems.” Weston stresses that the parkway, which is 95 percent federally funded, won’t increase overall traffic to the city but will simply divert more vehicles — about 2000 per day — from Route 7 and other roads onto the parkway and Pine Street. How about bikes? Another bone of contention is the lack of dedicated bike lanes, crosswalks and sidewalks on some stretches of the parkway. As submitted, the parkway’s design removes some dedicated bike lanes to build wider shared-use lanes and left-hand turn lanes, plus it leaves gaps in the sidewalk system and shows six intersections without crosswalks, according to Burlington-based alternative transportation group Local Motion. At the congested intersection of Pine and Maple, for example, a traffic signal will replace stop signs, and traffic lanes will narrow to accomodate a left-hand

turn lane for trucks heading to and from Battery Street. Ditto for the intersection of Maple and King. That could present a problem, because, in order to win Act 250 approval, the city must show that the parkway’s design conforms to its transportation plan, passed by the city council in March. Ironically, that plan designated portions of Pine Street as a “Bicycle Street” intended to give cyclists “priority treatment,” and other sections of the road as “Complete Streets” aimed at “accommodating all travel modes safely and efficiently.” “Overall, the project is pointed more or less in the right direction,” says Jason Van Driesche, Local Motion’s education and safety manager. “As always, the devil is in the details, and there’s a whole bunch of places where there are critical gaps in how things are laid out.” Weston says the city will look at the transportation plan and adjust the parkway design to the extent possible to meet the benchmarks. Who else loses with the new road’s configuration? Residents on Home and Flynn avenues have long complained of rumbling trucks cutting through their neighborhoods from Route 7 at all hours. They’re the potential winners here.

Meanwhile, homeowners living near the proposed parkway are likely to inherit that noise and air pollution. “The mission seems to be to remove excess truck traffic flow from a few neighborhoods,” says Thea Lewis, who lives on Home Avenue near the proposed parkway. “The problem is, it will redistribute a worrisome volume of traffic in a way that impacts even more of the community — effectively throwing a noose of heavy traffic and bad intersections around an even larger geographical area.” Weston acknowledges the parkway will impact some neighborhoods more than others, but stresses the project’s overall goal: to improve everyone’s driving experience by moving traffic more efficiently in and out of downtown. According to its Act 250 filing, the city’s traffic modeling predicts the Champlain Parkway will decrease traffic on Maple Street by 1300 vehicles a day, while King Street traffic will go up by 1500 vehicles a day. If everything goes as planned, Weston says traffic will move more efficiently through Allan Hunt’s neighborhood — making the view from his front porch look more like a normal city street and less like a parking lot. m

“investors” who are interested in backing a “100 percent Vermont-owned business.” Lynn also claims he’s secured some “verbal OKs” from Burlington-area landlords to house the dispensary. Lynn doesn’t plan to do the growing himself, but knows “other people who have that expertise who are more than happy” to be a part of his business venture. “There’s a lot of risk here, and it makes me very nervous,” Lynn says. He isn’t just talking about the time and money he’s invested, but the politics of the issue. “Under the Douglas administration, this never would have happened.” Which begs the question: Exactly how will DPS evaluate these applications? Will it judge applicants’ horticultural abilities? What strains they’re offering? Whether they plan to offer full buds, tinctures or loose shake? Will there be a brownie taste test? “No, we’re not going to get into any of that,” Aumand warns. Essentially, he says, the state will judge the soundness of

applicants’ business plans, their proposed recordkeeping systems, their security plans, and, most critically, their criminal and financial backgrounds. He doesn’t expect any dispensary applications will be reviewed or approved before next summer. Mark Tucci, a registered medical marijuana user and activist who was instrumental in the passage of Vermont’s dispensary law, admits it isn’t 100 percent perfect; he pushed for a marijuana delivery service rather than bricks-and-mortar dispensaries. Nevertheless, Tucci believes it’s a good thing that Vermont dispensaries will be overseen by law enforcement rather than the state health department, which, he claims, has delayed their rollout in other states. As he points out, Vermont’s dispensaries will have total transparency and operate under ultra-tight security mandates. “It’s going to be harder for someone to steal weed out of a dispensary than Oxycontin out of a drug store.” Worth waiting for? Maybe. Unless you’re as sick as Ward. “There are people out here that are dying,” she notes. “They are killing us, literally.” m

outh and high-caliber classical music don’t often go together — unless you’re talking about the MUSIC FESTIVAL OF THE AMERICAS. The annual weekend concert series in Stowe features an orchestra whose members are mostly under the age of 35. Their conductor, 31-year-old ALONDRA DE LA PARRA, is dedicating this year’s festival, the 10th, to “the future of young musicians,” and she has brought in two soloists — 16-year-old pianist Jan Lisiecki and 17-year-old violinist Chad Hoopes — with very bright futures, indeed. It’s best to suppress memories of what one was doing at 16 when talking with serious, philosophical Lisiecki, who lives in Alberta, Canada, with his parents. The teenager has performed with orchestras around the world and just signed an exclusive recording agreement with the classical world’s biggest label, Deutsche Grammophon. In Stowe, he’ll play the piece he will record in January in Munich for his first CD: Mozart’s Concerto No. 20 in D Minor. Lisiecki’s playing amazes; watch the Canadian national television

documentary made about him when he was 14 (available on YouTube) with chin support at the ready, lest your jaw drop. “An unmannered virtuoso,” one critic has called him. Does he pay attention to reviews of his performances? “Yes and no,” Lisiecki answers thoughtfully. “There is no perfection in music; there are always different opinions on how to play things. That’s one of the most beautiful things about it,” he adds. “You can never get bored.” Lisiecki’s parents, both horticulturalists, moved to Canada in 1988 to escape Eastern Bloc Poland. A teacher suggested they start their son on piano. “I wouldn’t say they didn’t like classical music, but it wasn’t their passion,” says the pianist. His mother travels with him during international touring trips. (Lisiecki graduated two years early from high school and is headed to the Glenn Gould School of Music in Toronto this fall.) His father joins them for sightseeing or to visit the homeland. As it happens, the three will head to Warsaw after the Stowe concert, where Lisiecki will play in the international music festival called Chopin and His Europe.

Chad Hoopes

Does the talented pianist feel an affinity for that other Polish prodigy, Frederyk? Lisiecki admits he gets the question often in his “many, many” interviews. He demurs: Music itself is “an international language — you can’t have any borders in it.” Chad Hoopes’ violin playing has also gained him an international performance career and an appearance on CBS’ “The Early Show.” The Minneapolis native’s talent is a little more traceable than Lisiecki’s: His parents “love classical music.” Early on, Hoopes and his two older sisters, a violist and violinist now studying at Juilliard, formed a trio.

“We started as a hobby, but it kind of grew into something more than that,” Hoopes admits with a chuckle. The family moved to Cleveland so that their son, then 12, could study at the Institute of Music. He’ll attend the highly selective Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia in the fall. How does one become a virtuoso soloist with both a U.S. and an international agent? Says Hoopes, “Everyone [who studies violin] thinks, ‘I want to be like Joshua Bell.’ I started getting a glimpse of that possibility when I won the [Yehudi] Menuhin [International Violin] competition [in Wales]” — the

eeing James Patterson on the New York Times bestseller list is nothing new — the multigenre novelist actually holds the Guinness World Record for landing the most books there. This time, though, he’s brought a Vermont coauthor with him. CHRIS TEBBETTS, who lives in Hinesburg, has his name on the cover of Middle School: The Worst Years of My Life along with Patterson. Aimed at middle-grade readers, the book, illustrated by Laura Park, is in its sixth week on the NYT list of Children’s Chapter Books, where it recently fell from No. 1 to No. 3. While Patterson’s “brand” has name recognition, it’s not hard to see why kids would pick up Middle School on its own merits. Beyond that title, which pretty well encapsulates the middle school experience, they’re likely to relate to the narrator-hero, Rafe, who has a good heart and a bad attitude. Feeling anonymous at school, he sets out to break every rule in the official regulation book, abetted by his only friend, “Leonardo the Silent,” whose irreverent, cartoonstyle drawings adorn the pages. Patterson concocted the story and characters, says Tebbetts, and passed him a 30-page outline to flesh out. “I take it from there,” he explains. “I offer [the manuscript] in pieces, and he and I will confer each step along the way.” Tebbetts, 47, has been writing for kids since 2002. The Ohio native had a background in children’s theater and started taking writing classes when he moved to Vermont. Eventually “something clicked for me,” he says. “I wasn’t just writing for a hobby; I was trying to get published.” Tebbetts began “showing up for the business of writing,” as he puts it, and at a workshop, he “met a particular guy,

who knew a particular editor.” That led to a gig writing a four-book middlegrade series called The Viking, published in 2003. Tebbetts also cowrote (with Lisa Papademetriou) M or F?, a young adult novel that plays with the scenario of gender bending in a chat room. For the past six years, Tebbetts says, he’s divided his time between his own work and ghostwriting for a living. Then Patterson got his name from the book packager of The Viking and asked him to send some sample chapters. Working with Patterson, who hires multiple cowriters and has been described as a one-man industry, has “been a wholly positive experience for me,” Tebbetts says. “He’s creatively generous. He gives me the space to do my thing, but he apparently also has great instincts for every genre he’s been in. It felt like great luck for me to really click with him on that.” Tebbetts is almost done with the sequel to Middle School, which will follow the hero through eighth grade. He’s “working on a castaway story in my quote unquote spare time,” he says, and plans to stick with middle-grade fiction, “my favorite age to write for.” The author is happy with his career so far: “I’ve managed to write for a living and work at home, which I love,” he says. With his name on a best seller, will he get a chance to bring more ideas of his own to the page? Middle School “gives me a level of exposure I’ve only dreamed about before,” Tebbetts says. “If people know my name, that’s great, but I still need to write something they want to publish.”

n February, the Borders Group went belly up, declaring bankruptcy and closing stores around the country. The Burlington outpost of the behemoth bookseller was temporarily spared from closure until mid-July, when the company announced it would liquidate its inventory after failing to find a buyer for all that stock. The shuttering of Borders on Church Street means a couple of things. One, Burlington will no longer have a purveyor of new books. And two, there’s going to be an awfully big space to fill on the city’s main shopping thoroughfare. Twenty thousand square feet of retail space, to be exact.

We wanted to know what Seven Days readers would like to see taking over the Borders building, so last week we put out a call on Blurt, our staff blog, for your best ideas. As long as none of them was Target. Not that we have anything against Walmart’s bourgie cousin, but it’s not going to happen, no matter how much some of you want a Tar-zhay in town. More than 50 of you dutiful readers answered. Your suggestions ran the gamut from ridiculous (a “Quartorium,” where every type of coin-operated machine could be found), to earnest (an adult-education center that would teach sustainableliving skills to the city’s underserved population) and everything in between, including a whole lot of votes each for Trader Joe’s and H&M.

What’s up with the mask-wearing Church Street didgeridoo player? BY l auren O B e r

the didgeridoo, and a low, rumbling drone pours out. There’s something entrancing enough about the whole package — the costume, the instruments, the fact that this isn’t just a guy strumming a guitar and bleating tired choruses— to make passersby stick around. He’s not standard Church Street busking fare. So what’s the deal with this didgeridude? His name is Michael Sampson, though his friends call him Tree — a nickname bestowed by the toddler son of a friend — and he’s originally from Columbia County, N.Y., a rural county sandwiched between western Massachusetts and the Hudson River. During his youth, 31-year-old Sampson was never one for school. He had too much energy to sit in a classroom. He tried his hand at college but quickly dropped out. When he was 20, he moved to California to work on an organic apple farm. The seasonal nature of the job gave him the opportunity to travel. “I came into contact with the whole rest of the world,” he says. But global travel was expensive, and

t’s close to dusk on a summer day in Burlington, and half the city seems to be out strolling on Church Street. Couples promenade arm in arm, parents wrangle children holding dribbling ice cream cones, and teenagers preen like peacocks. There is so much visual stimulation that it’s tough to focus on any one thing. But then, through the ambling crowd, a striking figure materializes. He’s sitting on a box drum wearing ecru linen trousers and a fur vest. On his right shoulder perches a crow puppet, so lifelike it looks as if it could take flight. Around one of the man’s ankles is a tambourine. On the other leg, a shaker sticks out of his shoe. A mask carved in the likeness of a deer, complete with spiked horns, obscures his face. He holds a long, tubular piece of wood in his hands. In front of the wooden tube — a didgeridoo shaped from western alder — rests an old suitcase full of crumpled dollar bills. The man has the ethereal aura of a shaman. Except he’s rapping. And keeping the beat by slapping the box and stamping his feet. After a verse or two, he blows into

Sampson had to figure out how to make money on the road. He already played the guitar and decided to incorporate a harmonica into the mix, “Dylan-style.” “It’s the rite of passage for any street musician. The American male street musician, we all start with a guitar and a harmonica handle,” he says, laughing. “Then you evolve from there.” In Spain, armed with his six-string and his mouth organ, Sampson played Tom Waits, Neil Young and, of course, Bob Dylan on street corners and shopping thoroughfares. He made about $17 an hour. But he couldn’t compete with the Gypsies playing flamenco. Their music was intense and perfectly suited to the landscape. American rock, blues and folk were not. He needed to change up the routine. With a friend, Sampson began dressing in outrageous costumes and rapping. The hiphop act elicited a far better response than the singer-songwriter show. Sampson added the didgeridoo, a 1500-year-old Australian Aboriginal pipe, after he found his way to a “spiritually

minded hippie commune” in Andalusia. People were living in yurts and teepees, chanting, drumming and playing the didgeridoo. Sampson was exposed to a whole new musical world. After living at the commune for a bit, Sampson made his way to Portugal with his new didgeridoo and djembe drum and continued busking. He did OK, but his haul was nothing like what the human statues made. “I said, ‘OK, I need to incorporate some theater. I need to put a mask on and do something to get people to pay attention,’” Sampson says. “I’m an advertisement for myself. People are exposed to all the stimulus in the city, and I need them to stop and be like, ‘What’s going on here?’” His first mask was made of leaves and worn with a “beasty” cloak. He went from making $17 an hour to more than $100. His pockets bulging with euros, Sampson returned to his apple farm job in California. When the season ended, he considered traveling back to Europe, but instead chose to tour as a street artist in the U.S. Sampson bought a small camper and visited various cities until he landed in Burlington last summer at the behest of a friend. The city felt European, he says, with its pedestrian walkway and good acoustics. Plus, the tourists were generous. Sampson’s shows are largely improvised. Because the didgeridoo has a limited harmonic scale, it can produce only so many different sounds. The improv is always familiar, but it still manages to sound fresh. The audience stands transfixed, as if watching some ancient ritual. Magic seems to reverberate through the air. “I think, when people see me and feel me, it looks like I’m accessing a state and, in a way, creating through the music a channel,” Sampson says. “And people who are sensitive to that, they just open up to it.” Beats strumming the guitar for spare change. m

basic respects inane, she said. It would still be cool to know. The Times piece you refer to, “A Physicist Solves the City” (it ran in the magazine section last December 17), describes the work of physicist Geoffrey West, who compares himself to Isaac Newton and claims to have discovered the mathematical laws that govern how cities work. West thinks urban living, while intrinsically energy efficient, nonetheless drives up overall power consumption, to the point where Americans now burn through energy at a rate of 11 kilowatts per person. “What you find

is that we have created a lifestyle where we need more watts than a blue whale,” the Times quotes him as saying. To ascertain the truth of this, we first looked into the human end of things. According to the Department of Energy, gross energy use for the U.S. is about 103 quadrillion BTUs per year. If we divide this by the U.S. population, then convert it into continuous average energy use, sure enough, we end up with about 11 kilowatts per person. Next we checked the energy requirement of a blue whale. Here we ran into a problem. According to estimates published in 1981 by the distinguished marine biologist Christina Lockyer, a blue whale weighing around 80 tons has a basal (resting) metabolic

rate of about 12 to 25 kilowatts. Aha! said Una. That’s more than humans, not less. West screwed up. Come now, I said. It’s in the ballpark. This fellow West has done high-profile work on animal metabolism and is clearly no dope. Parties of his stature don’t make mistakes; they merely misspeak. We’ll assume he meant to say we use almost as many watts as a (smallish) blue whale, not more. Fine, said Una, make excuses. But it’s still not fair to compare per-person energy consumption for all human activity in the U.S. with the resting rate for blue whales. Whales are plenty active — ask Captain Ahab. Perusing the biological literature, we find disagreement about the active

e need to clear up a couple levels of confusion here. First, the New York Times didn’t say the average American uses more energy than a blue whale. The paper quoted someone as saying this. The Times doesn’t have a policy of only quoting people who say true things. If it did, all coverage of politics would come to a screeching halt. Second, the more pertinent question isn’t whether this is true. It’s who the hell cares? The average American sits at the top (or the bottom, depending on how you look at it) of a vast industrial enterprise that has harnessed a sizable percentage of the earth’s resources in the service of our present rock-androll lifestyle. The average whale swims in the ocean all day and eats krill. If you’re telling me the latter approach has less impact on the planet, I’m not going to argue with you. But if you’re offering it up as a model we human spendthrifts can learn from, all I can tell you is it’s going to be a tough sell. Nonetheless, here we are, tackling the issue anyway. Why? Blame my assistant Una. So what if this line of investigation is in

metabolic rate of blue whales, but the conservative figure seems to be three times the basal rate. In other words, an active 80-ton whale might consume energy at a rate of 36 to 75 kilowatts, considerably more than the average American. But that’s misleading too, she continued. Problems: (1) Whales aren’t always active. (2) Typical size for a mature male blue whale is more like 107 tons, not 80. (3) Computation of per capita U.S. energy consumption is based on gross usage — how much energy gets pumped into the system. But not all that energy finds its way to us; some leaks away. Likewise, the prodigious quantity of krill eaten by a blue whale isn’t all digested; some is wasted. The true comparison, therefore, should be per capita U.S. energy consumption vs. how much food a whale actually eats. I conceded the wisdom of this. We turned again to Lockyer. She calculates that a 107-ton young adult male blue whale (who eats less than the female) consumes 491 million kilocalories annually. That works out to a continuous rate of 65 kilowatts. So the average American doesn’t use more energy than a blue whale, but rather much less. OK, I said, but 11 kilowatts per person is still a lot. Assuming the average blue whale weighs 1200 times what the average American does, pound for pound the American is using roughly 200 times as much energy as the whale, an ominous-sounding ratio sustainability-wise. True, said Una. But there’s another way of looking at it. For all our frantic consumption of resources, there’s a simple creature of the ocean that uses six times as much.

system in a state of 625,000 people and one target that might interest a terrorist, Vermont Yankee. And that risk is another reason to shut down the poison factor, not to fortify all 9615 square miles of the state. Then the reasonableness lifted like a scrim, and revealed beneath it was the longing for perfect safety, an emotion that has so suffused both our psyches and our public policy that it is now all but invisible. I’d witnessed this feeling during the years Hardwick debated a cell and beeper tower proposed to rise 200 feet above the farms and fields of Bridgman Hill (opponents, including me, just lost our final appeal, asking for a shorter, less obtrusive tower). Proponents proclaimed that without cell service, children would leave town forever, disabled people would be homebound and patients on the 15-minute drive to Copley Hospital would perish. Sure, cell service is nice (and, according to one engineer’s study, it would be 90 percent as nice with 100 feet of tower as with 200). But, listening to the testimony, you’d wonder how Hardwick survived all those years before it. Listening to Duquette, you’d ask how Vermont made it through fires and floods for 400 years, not to mention the millennia before Vermont was Vermont. Part of this felt need is the consumerism effect: If they build it, we will want it. But our passion not just for cellphones and iPads but for protection is another phenomenon, one whose origins date back before the World Trade Center eamst ime.co m

he other day I talked to a friend in Hyde Park who, along with her neighbors, is challenging a wireless communications tower slated for construction in her backyard. So what else is new? This: Hyde Park’s isn’t just any tower. It would be one of dozens across the state, said my friend, funded by Homeland Security grants to the Vermont Communications Board (VCOMM) to aid first responders in a terrorist attack. She lamented that a state that had the wisdom to ban billboards was about to prickle its ridges willy-nilly with industrial structures, wrecking what it had worked so hard to preserve. I called the Public Service Board and the VCOMM board chair, Newport police Chief Paul Duquette, to check it out. Indeed, such a network is under way: 26 towers (PSB says 36), some already existing, plus eight “public safety answering points,” or 911 centers — at a cost of $13.8 million, courtesy of the feds. Through 2010, Vermont had received more than $89 million from Homeland Security; the state has a request in for $5.1 million for 2011, which it expects to get. Washington mandated the system — separate frequencies available only to fire, police and other first responders — in response to the 9/11 terrorist attacks. But, Duquette said, its potential usefulness for other emergencies has been brought home numerous times. He named the Essex school shooting — “within a minute, the airwaves were so flooded nobody could speak to anybody” — the Hartford fire in 2008, the recent floods and the “Drega incident” in 1997. Carl Drega, you may remember, was the New Hampshire resident who set his house on fire, killed two state troopers, a newspaper editor and a local judge, and wounded a Fish & Wildlife agent before fleeing to Vermont, where police on the ground and in helicopters pursued him through the woods until they shot him dead. What set Drega off, by the way, was not some jihadist fervor. It was rage over his property-tax bill. Live free or die. “The lifeline we’re building,” said Duquette, gives emergency responders “a better chance of hitting a public safety entrance point.” At first, this all sounded reasonable — more reasonable than a multimillion-dollar, landscape-despoiling antiterrorism

attacks. According to a terrific new book called Sex Panic and the Punitive State, America’s fears and the consequent demand for security were seeded in the law-and-order mania of the late 1960s, then grew all out of proportion during the sex panics that began in the 1980s. The author, George Mason University anthropologist Roger Lancaster, argues that our fantasies — stoked by media, law enforcement and politicians — of armies of sex monsters stalking our children have turned the U.S. into “something resembling a police state.” This fear has transformed America’s criminal justice ethos from one of the “presumption of innocence” to one of the “protection of innocence,” Lancaster says, where the victim’s needs for comfort and “closure” trump the rights of the accused or convicted, and a lust for punishment supplants a faith in rehabilitation.

bond in the solidarity of paranoia and vengeance. And over all this, superimposed on the Stars and Stripes since 9/11, floats the image of America — not just its children — as vulnerable, victimized and innocent. It is this image that allows tough, resourceful Vermont to welcome the wiring of its mountains into a giant police radio — which, as Lancaster suggests, will keep track not only of foreign malefactors but of the rest of us, too. In a recent piece in the Chronicle of Higher Education, University of North Carolina sociologist and Islamic terrorism expert Charles Kurzman avers that we are too worried. “My research finds that Islamic terrorism has not posed as large a threat as reporters and the public think,” he writes. In fact, Al Qaeda and its affiliates “routinely complain” that they aren’t attracting enough recruits. Of the 56 million people who die each year around the world, HIV/AIDS and malaria take three million, and violence fells nearly three quarters of a million. At its peak in 2007, terrorism claimed 23,000 lives, half of them in Iraq — “a terrible toll,” says Kurzman, “but not a leading cause of death.” In the U.S., Islamic terrorism has accounted for fewer than three dozen deaths since 9/11 — an average of three or four among 15,000 murders annually. Maybe the massive apparatus of domestic defense has something to do with the smallness of this number. But is that small number worth this huge one: $71.6 billion? That’s how much the president’s budget requests for homeland security in fiscal 2012, even while he’d cut Pell Grants and jobs programs. Is it worth even $13.8 million? The money, and even the environmental and aesthetic damage, is not the whole story. Do we Vermonters want to gaze forever at these totems of ourselves as helpless and traumatized infants, reaching into the sky for Big Brother’s hand? m

even years ago, Jamie Harnish was getting a little soft. As the accountant edged into his thirties, the years he’d spent building his career in Boston, the time away from his bicycle and a sweet tooth conspired to push his weight over the 200pound mark. So, when he moved back to his hometown of Essex, Vt., in 2004, Harnish started riding his bike again. When a neighbor mentioned a triathlon coming up in Shelburne, he looked at the distances and signed up. “I was like, ‘Five hundred yards. Yeah, I can swim that,’” Harnish recalls. Today, Harnish has more than two dozen triathlons to his name, including a couple of grueling Ironman races. What started as a whim has turned into a passion. He’s spent thousands of hours and thousands of dollars pursuing the sport. Harnish’s face has taken on the faintly gaunt look of the endurance athlete,

The sense of having tackled something big is common among newcomers and converts to the sport. Most triathlons are a lot shorter than the most famous race, a sufferfest conceived in the late ’70s in Hawaii by a U.S. Navy commander to settle a dispute over which athletes are most fit — swimmers, runners or cyclists. That event, dubbed the

This milestone comes at a time when triathlons have evolved from a fringe activity for masochists into popular mass events that draw beginners and weekend warriors in Vermont and elsewhere. Today, it seems like just about everyone is a triathlete.

This Saturday, Harnish expects to add another race to his resume when he and more than 1900 fellow triathletes plunge into Lake Champlain along Burlington’s waterfront for the start of the annual amateur U.S. National Championship.

Triathlon goes boom Harnish’s first try at the tri, in 2005, wasn’t promising. He barely made it out of the water. His wife, Pam Harnish, says he looked like a broken bird that day, as he trudged from Lake

Ironman, features a 2.4-mile swim and 112mile bike ride, topped off with a marathon. But the spirit of that original event trickles down to races like the annual Colchester Triathlon, with its half-mile swim, 12-mile bike and three-mile run. Since its start 27 years ago, the Colchester race has grown so popular that it sells out its 375 spots. Known for its manageable length and relatively laid-back atmosphere, the race is a popular choice for novices and people who want to do just one or two short triathlons a year. Joan Siegel, 50, completed the race once before her daughter was born in 2002, then returned last year at her daughter’s urging. The Colchester resident had done a few half-marathons and some ocean swimming in the past, but the triathlon appealed to her. “I think it’s particularly neat to be able to put the three sports together and still be able to walk after,” she said as she stood by her bike on July 31, the morning of the race. The rise of these shorter triathlons, known as “sprints” — although they actually take one to two hours to finish — has helped fuel an explosion in the

sport’s popularity over the last decade. Memberships in USA Triathlon, the sport’s governing body in this country, rose from 21,000 in 2000 to more than 140,000 in 2010. The number of events sanctioned by the group nationwide went from 1541 in 2004 to 3500 in 2010. Here in Vermont, races that once drew just a few dozen participants now attract hundreds. On just about any summer weekend, a triathlon is happening within a two-hour drive of Burlington. At the Colchester race, some participants had come from other endurance sports. A runner with knee problems saw the event as a way to compete without risking so much joint damage. For others, it was an opportunity to get in shape for the first time. Groups of friends who had encouraged one another to train arrived at the race together. The gear ranged from sleek $4000 racing bicycles to knobbytired mountain bikes. The shorter sprints and Olympicdistance races, which are double the length of a sprint, have drawn the biggest crowds, says Jerrod Rushton, who has organized a series of triathlons at Lake Dunmore for 14 years. He quit doing longer events because of poor turnout and higher costs. “It’s evolved phenomenally,” he says. “If you said to somebody 10 years ago, ‘Oh yeah, I did a triathlon this weekend,’ most of the time they’d look at you and say, ‘You did a what?’” Today, daytime talk-show hosts gush about their triathlon exploits. Celebrities such as Matt Damon and Jennifer Lopez participate. Even former contestants from the weight-loss reality TV show “The Biggest Loser” made headlines when they signed up for a California triathlon. “We’re getting a lot more exposure,” says Jeff Dyrek, national events director for USA Triathlon and the race director for the upcoming Burlington event.

Cashing in on the trend Triathlons’ high-profile exposure translates into big dollars. For starters, triathletes as a group tend to be well off, highly educated and middleaged or older. Nearly 40 percent earn more than $100,000 a year, according to a

It’s no surprise that you have to follow the money to find out how Burlington wound up with the national championships. It’s not a story of devoted athletes working tirelessly to lure their beloved sport here,

Why Burlington?

but of tourism and business promoters hunting for dollars. In 2003, Vermont businesspeople of the Lake Champlain Regional Chamber of Commerce, along with the head of the state tourism department, attended a convention in New Orleans for sports-events officials, trolling for an event that might come to the state. They struck up a conversation with someone from USA Triathlon, recalls Rick Milliken, general manager of the DoubleTree Hotel in Burlington and a member of the state’s Sports and Events Council, an arm of the Lake Champlain chamber. “Obviously, Vermont does not have a stadium big enough to do a major sporting event. But we certainly have the geography,” Milliken says. “We thought that a triathlon would be a perfect fit.” That initial encounter set in motion a multiyear courtship. Things started heating up in 2007 when USA Triathlon went looking for a spot in the Northeast to host the national championships, which have never been held in the region. State tourism officials, local and state chambers of commerce, and local event organizers teamed up to make a bid. In January 2010, the group learned it had beaten out several other northeastern cities to host the race in 2011 and 2012. Burlington was a natural choice, with easy access to a swimming venue, lots of hotels and other amenities to host several thousand athletes, and a reputation as a nice place to visit, says Dyrek of USA Triathlon. Judging by the response from athletes, it was a smart choice. The race’s 1450 spots sold out faster than ever before, taking organizers by surprise and prompting them to add another 500 spaces. With two accompanying sprint races to be held later the same day in Burlington, the total number of triathletes could top 2500. “The numbers speak for themselves. We’re thrilled to be coming to Burlington,” Dyrek says. The feeling is mutual, says Milliken. Hotels around the city are full, and organizers are looking for additional rooms as far away as Stowe and Sugarbush, he says. The record turnout includes dozens of Vermonters. Seventy are registered for the main event, called the Age Group National Championship. The race involves

poll by the Sporting Goods Manufacturers Association, a national trade group. This makes the athletes a target market for a number of manufacturers. With three sports wrapped into one, triathlon is a gear nerd’s paradise. Since his first Shelburne triathlon, Harnish has spent money on a sleek, air-splitting triathlon bike worth more than $1500, a set of special race wheels that run more than $1000, a wetsuit, running shoes, goggles, coaching costs, entry fees that can reach several hundred dollars (for an Ironman), sports drinks, triathlon shorts and jerseys, dues for the triathlon team … you get the picture. A 2009 study for USA Triathlon found that its athletes had spent, on average, more than $4000 on the sport in the preceding year. At Skirack, a Burlington sporting-goods store, triathlon has earned its own department. The store sponsors a team, Green Mountain Multisport. So far this year, sales are up nearly a quarter over last year, says Skirack co-owner Spike Clayton. Triathlon still brings in less than 1 percent of the store’s bottom line. But that figure doesn’t account for triathlon novices who buy skinny-tired road bikes, rather than special triathlon bikes that force riders to hunch over and tuck their elbows together, much like a downhill ski racer. Road bikes are the store’s biggest moneymaker. “We sell a bunch of $800 bikes to people who want to just go out there and try it,” Clayton says. “They’re doing it on an $800 road bike because they tried it on a mountain bike and got killed, but they’re not ready to go on a tri bike.” Now, as the official bike store of the national championships in Burlington, Skirack is facing an onslaught of Lycraclad athletes with shaved legs. The store added a huge trailer to its parking lot to house dozens of racing bikes shipped from around the country. Clayton says he’s ordered such esoterica as 500 small, pressurized cartridges used to inflate a flat tire during a race. “We’re getting pulled into a whole new world,” he observes. But Skirack’s bounty is a tiny slice of what could be a multimillion-dollar boon from having the national championships here. The race is expected to bring between $2 million and $2.5 million to the state as triathletes and their families stay in motels, shop, eat out and stock up for the race, says Peter Delaney, executive director of RunVermont. The nonprofit, which puts on the Vermont City Marathon, is helping to organize the triathlon. The local cost of putting on the race, which could approach $100,000, Delaney says, is being covered by sponsors and commissions charged to hotels where athletes stay.

a 1500-meter swim, 40-kilometer bike and 10-kilometer run, with the racers starting and ending each leg at Waterfront Park. Participants qualify by placing at a certain level in other races around the country against people in their age bracket. Another 14 Vermonters will line up later for the Sprint Distance National Championship, and 43 will take part in the People’s United Bank VTri, an event open only to Vermont residents. Harnish will be in the age group championships, having qualified at a Connecticut race earlier this year. He competed in the Ironman race in Lake Placid the two

previous years. But he was ready for a break from that much training — up to 20 hours a week. And Harnish couldn’t pass up the chance to race in the national championships in his home state.

Race to the death? While triathlon’s growing popularity is good news for participants such as Harnish, and for local businesses, it brings a touch of anxiety, as well. Several recent deaths, including two in Vermont, have some race organizers worrying that the rigors of a triathlon may be too much for some. On June 16, 57-year-old Christopher Ludington of Morrisville died near the end the swim portion of a small triathlon at Lake Elmore. He was an avid outdoor sportsman and athlete, according to his obituary. The state medical examiner concluded he drowned after what appeared to be a heart malfunction, and noted that an enlarged heart and hardened arteries might have contributed to it.

Just two weeks later, 42-year-old Stephen Mount of Williston died during the swim at a short triathlon in Shelburne. Again, the medical examiner called it a drowning, while noting that a thickening in the walls of his heart might have played a role.

deaths are extremely rare — fewer than two in 100,000 participants — they are nearly twice as common as deaths in marathons. Of the 14 cases reviewed, all but one happened during the swim. The numbers, and his own triathlon experience, make the study’s lead author,

I’m getting kind of pumped.

IT’S GOING TO BE A GOOD TIME. JA M I E HA R N I S H, T R I AT HL ET E

The families of both men could not be reached for comment. While the Vermont tragedies made local news, two deaths during the swim at a major New York City triathlon in early August earned headlines in the New York Times. All the deaths follow a pattern described in a 2010 study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association. The researchers found that, while triathlon

Kevin Harris, suspect the stress of the swim could, in rare cases, trigger an underlying heart problem. The start of a triathlon can be hectic and adrenaline filled, as a crowd of people plunges into the water. Swimmers can get accidentally kicked or pushed under, or swallow a mouthful of water as they try to breathe. Some people accustomed to swimming in a pool panic the first time they try a long swim in a lake.

WHO TO WATCH Vermont is home to a disproportionate number of talented triathletes, given the state’s small size. Maybe that’s because the stunning terrain lends itself to running, swimming and biking. Or because being cooped up indoors all winter makes people even more determined to squeeze in every possible bit physical activity when the weather is nice. Whatever the reason, Vermont has triathletes in spades. Many of them will be competing in the USA Triathlon 2011 National Championship this Saturday. Here are just a few to keep your eyes on.

WHERE TO WATCH If you want to see some nationalchampion triathletes, head down to Burlington’s Waterfront Park this Saturday, August 20. In the Age Group National Championship — the main event — the first group of swimmers jumps into the water shortly after 7:30 a.m., with waves departing over the next hour. At each stage of the race, competitors return to the park to swap gear and head out again. The fastest racers will finish at the park in a little under two hours. If you really want to witness some suffering, stand on Main Street to see cyclists grunting up from the waterfront. Or stroll over to Depot Street, which runners must climb before reaching North Avenue. The shorter sprint races start at 12:30 p.m. at Waterfront Park. The triathlon will shut down parts of several major streets in Burlington and South Burlington on Saturday morning through early afternoon. They include Pine and Lake streets, North Avenue, Interstate 189’s eastbound lanes, and some parts of Dorset and Spear streets. For details, go to runvermont.org/elbo/ assets//USAT_RoadClosures.pdf. Race organizers are still looking for volunteers, including lifeguards and monitors, for the run and bike courses. Sign up at runvermont.org.

ANGIE DEFILIPPI: After graduating from college, I jumped into the Vermont City Marathon on a whim and really enjoyed it. Shortly after that, I decided to become a triathlete, even though I didn’t own a bike or know how to swim. It seemed logical at the time.

PETER DODDS: I grew up [in Australia] playing cricket and Australian Rules Football and many other sports, destroyed both knees in interesting ways, and wanted a sport that would keep me healthy (and happy) as I got older. I did my first triathlon in 2001.

AD: Any time I get cold and wet. SD: What are you most looking forward to this weekend at the national championships? AD: Showing triathletes from all over the country what a great place Vermont is in the summer, and showing them how many really competitive triathletes live here.

PD: I always put in a short, hard bike ride the day before, and I have a checklist I’ve evolved over many years to make sure I bring everything to a race (there’s a lot of stuff to line up). I listen to music before races; currently it’s a selection of “Glee” covers (really). SD: Describe the transition areas in three words. PD: Quick, quick, quick.

SD: Why do you compete in triathlons? JESSIE DONAVAN: I love it! I love the balance and the challenge of being strong in three separate sports. SD: How do you find time to train? JD: I make the time — usually early in the morning. SD: What are you most looking forward to this weekend at the national championships? JD: I’m most looking forward to the final stretch down the bike path to the finish. It has always been one of my favorite places to run, and it will be great to be running toward a hometown crowd.

“It’s a very unique situation,” says Harris, a cardiologist at the Minneapolis Heart Institute, which maintains a registry of sudden deaths among athletes. Harris advises potential triathletes to practice thoroughly for the swim, which includes swimming in open water rather than in a pool, before entering a race. They should also get a medical checkup if they have any history of heart problems in their family, he says. The deaths have spurred some race organizers to take precautionary measures. At the Colchester triathlon this year, racers deposited numbered swim caps in a bin as they left the water, so organizers knew everyone made it to shore. RunVermont has beefed up the number of lifeguards, kayaks, canoes and other boats in the water, says Joe Connelly, who is handling many of the race’s technical details. He calls the recent triathlete deaths “troubling.” But race organizers are also quick to stress that deaths are rare. Rushton, who puts on the races at Lake Dunmore,

worries that the negative press coverage could overshadow the benefits of triathlon. “I don’t want to scare people away from the sport,” he says. “Thousands of people have changed their lifestyle and perhaps lived longer because of these [races].” Harnish is a strong swimmer, but his big worry is a sharp pain in his right knee that started a few weeks ago. Lots of stretching and massage have kept the pain at bay. After one last tune-up race at Lake Dunmore in early August, Harnish has been squeezing in a few final workouts and thinking ahead to the morning of August 20. “I’m getting kind of pumped,” he says. “Some things have been coming together the last few races. It’s going to be a good time.”

Rock Point School’s outgoing headmaster reflects on 40 years of outside-the-box learning B y K en Pic a r d

SEVENDAYSvt.com 08.17.11-08.24.11 SEVEN DAYS 30 FEATURE

Matthew thorsen

here’s an oft-told story about John Rouleau, the recently retired headmaster of Burlington’s Rock Point School. One day, a student walked into his office with an odd request: She needed a toilet seat for an art project. Rather than passing off that chore to someone lower on the faculty totem pole, Rouleau rummaged through his closet and actually found the girl an old toilet seat. The story doesn’t encapsulate Rouleau’s 40-year career at Rock Point School, a place where teenagers who’ve gotten “off track” in life, or have trouble fitting in at other schools, can find another avenue to success. But those who’ve known Rouleau for years say the incident is indicative of his resourcefulness. Need a fountain pen? Rouleau will give you three of his own. Thinking of studying Dutch? He probably has two or three books on the subject. Want to learn the banjo? The headmaster can teach you to fingerpick, then accompany you on upright bass. “John is this extremely generous, knowledgeable guy who encourages you to go to him with your interests,” says development director Charlotte Blend, who’s been at Rock Point for seven years. “He’s a constant learner, and he encourages his kids and staff members to be constantly learning, too.” In June, Blend organized a farewell party for Rouleau at Rock Point’s 150-acre campus, which juts into Lake Champlain just past North Beach. Dubbed “John-A-Palooza,” the fête drew more than 150 guests, including current and former faculty, staff, board members, donors and students, some of whom traveled from as far away as California. A carload of students drove up from New Jersey the night before, picking up passengers along the way. When the guest of honor arrived, his hosts sat him in a rocking chair, dressed him in a top hat and plastic jewelry and swapped stories about him. Obviously, there was much to say, as Rouleau has worn many hats over the years: music instructor, dorm parent, science teacher, maple-syrup maker, headmaster. Again and again, one phrase kept cropping up to describe him: lifelong learner.

John Rouleau

What compelled so many people to travel so far to share stories about toilet seats and fountain pens? “That’s a clear indication of the serious effect this man has had in the lives of many, many kids over 40 years,” Blend says. “Sometimes it takes them a long time to realize it, but they can look back and say, ‘Wow! That was a fantastic school, and this guy had this positive effect.’”

Yet Rouleau’s path to becoming headmaster seemed anything but preordained. A self-described “resistant learner,” he had no formal education or training in teaching or adolescent psychology. He graduated from the University of Vermont — after 10 years — but still expresses skepticism about whether colleges and universities instill a love of learning in their students. And, though Rouleau stepped into the role

of disciplinarian long before becoming headmaster, he confesses to a deep suspicion of authority figures. To wit: Rouleau tells of one student who arrived at Rock Point against her will. “I think she didn’t smile until Thanksgiving,” Rouleau remembers. “Her parents said at one point that her first complete sentence was ‘You’re not the boss of me!’ Right away I recognized that’s how I feel about most authority.” Rouleau agrees to an interview outside Bishop Hopkins Hall, a large stone structure on a private road just past Burlington High School. Since the school’s founding as the Rock Point School for Girls in 1928, this building has housed its classrooms, offices, dormitory, kitchen, dining room, library and chapel. (Though the Episcopal Diocese of Vermont owns the school and grounds, Rock Point isn’t run as a religious school and accepts students of many faiths, or none at all.) Rouleau, 66, is a stocky, thick-bearded fellow with receding salt-and-pepper hair and a face that always seems about to break into a mischievous grin — sort of a cross between Aristotle and Santa Claus. He was born in Holyoke, Mass., and moved to South Hadley at the age of 8. His mother died when he was 12, a loss that was especially devastating to his father. After a couple of years, “the house kind of fell apart,” Rouleau recalls, so he and his sister moved in with their grandmother while their father went on the road as an itinerant trucker and day laborer. It wasn’t until high school that Rouleau moved back in with his father, in Pittsford, Vt. As a child, Rouleau didn’t have many books in the house except for an old set of encyclopedias, which he read from start to finish. “I wanted to learn stuff,” he recalls, “just not on other people’s terms.” In the 1960s, Rouleau was admitted to UVM, which began what he characterizes as a long and rocky relationship with the institution. To this day he still remembers his first experience on campus. He was in Ira Allen Chapel listening to a dean tell the new students, Getting the point

“I think there’s nothing inconsistent about discipline if you’re saying, ‘These are the rules, and you should be competent enough to follow those rules. If you decide to break them, go right ahead,’” Rouleau explains. “We’re all free to break whatever rules we like. Just be prepared to take the consequences.” Rouleau became headmaster in 1993 and set out to put more emphasis on expanding the school’s curriculum and raising its academic standards. One critical element: He expected dorm parents to treat their work as integral to students’ education, and not just to be “babysitters” until the “real stuff” happened in the classroom. As he often told them, “You are the real stuff. In fact, for

college. Or when he hears of a former student landing a good job or maintaining a stable, long-term relationship. Rouleau recounts a day when he was at his house on campus and saw a young man come striding across the yard. Although he didn’t recognize the young man at first, once he spoke, Rouleau immediately remembered him as a particularly challenging student. “John,” the former student said, “I couldn’t figure out why you were always on my case when I was a student here. Now I have a son of my own, and I’m a good father because of what you did here.” “So many kids are growing up without an audience, without someone who’s actively paying attention to them,” Rouleau adds. “The undefended and neglected kids of this world need a place to come where you look them in the eye and say, ‘I know who you are. I know you’re going to be OK, and I’m going to help you get there.’” What will be Rouleau’s lasting legacy at Rock Point? Isaiah Keepin, 35, the school’s assistant academic dean, suggests that Rouleau should be credited for creating a fertile environment for learning through his hiring decisions. “John has made this place a magnet for interesting people,” Keepin says. “That keeps me here.” Lonnie Edson, Rock Point’s administrative assistant, who’s been at the school since 1975, agrees. “The kids are challenging and smart and funny and just awesome to be around,” she says. “I can’t think of another place I’d rather be.” For his part, Rouleau is justifiably proud of his 40 years at Rock Point, but he also knows the place will survive without him. A headmaster is to a school what a hood ornament is to a car, he suggests. If the ornament is missing, you can get a new one. It’s visible but not indispensable, like the engine. “I know you have to have a headmaster. You have to have someone to challenge people, to bring in new ideas, who has a toilet seat in his closet,” Rouleau says. “I think I provided those things, and I brought some intellectual capital. Reading those encyclopedias turned out to be a good thing, after all.” m Matthew thorsen

“Look to your left. Look to your right. When you graduate, those people aren’t going to be here.” “Rather than instill in me a desire to succeed,” he says, “it just infuriated me that the university would knowingly have a culture in which this was going to be true, that two-thirds of the people they were admitting wouldn’t succeed.” Like many students of that era, Rouleau joined the peace movement and did his best to avoid going to Vietnam. It was at UVM that he met his wife, Alice. The couple married in 1967, joined Volunteers in Service to America and moved to Del Rio, Texas, for their training. Following the riots of that same year, they were sent to Detroit. Their job? Knock on doors of housing projects and ask the residents how they’d been “inconvenienced” by the riots. “It was a tremendous lesson in forbearance,” Rouleau recalls with a chuckle. Rouleau and his wife returned to Burlington. In 1970, while finishing his degree, this time in geology, Rouleau landed a twice-a-week gig teaching music at Rock Point. He got the job, he admits, through “good, honest nepotism”: His uncle, who served on the board of trustees, heard the school needed a music teacher and figured it’d be a good job for his “ne’er-do-well” nephew. It was, in a sense, a suitable match. Rock Point School for Girls, which was founded in 1928 by Doris Wright, had long been a place for impoverished, orphaned and troubled girls from New England who had nowhere else to go. (The school went coed in 1972.) It was around this time that Rock Point tried to shift its mission from that of an orphanage-type school to a prep school. Having received an insufficient number of applications from well-to-do families, however, the school landed a contract from the “A Better Chance” Program that involved serving mostly Native American girls from Indian reservations and African American girls from New York and New Jersey. Soon John and Alice were working as dorm parents, living with some “very tough” students from the inner cities and helping them adjust to life in Vermont. In 1972, when the school’s science teacher quit on short notice, Rouleau got the

portunity for kids who’ve been knocked around by life to figure out that they can be successful.” Much of Rock Point’s success can be attributed to its small, intimate setting. Classes always have fewer than 14 students; last spring’s graduating class numbered just seven. “We try to aim the ball at the kid’s bat,” Rouleau says. “We don’t want him to strike out, but we’re not gonna let him walk, either.” How does Rouleau measure success? He knows he’s achieved it when he hears about a former student becoming a “good citizen” — say, someone from a disadvantaged household who is the first member of his or her family to attend

came to carve the headstone for himself and his wife, Denise — in the shape of a maple leaf, natch. As you walk around the sunny center and shaded verdant side sections of Hope Cemetery, which opened in 1895, eyecatching monuments abound in every size and shape, from mausoleums to basrelief figures, shiny pillars and expansive structures with numerous carved details. Twenty-six of the most prominent headstones are profiled in the cellphone tour, detailing everything from the families’ histories to the monuments’ inspirations to challenges faced by the stone artisans, whose works here include soccer balls, chairs, a bed, a violin, pietàs, angels and quite a few unusual self-portraits. Hope Cemetery’s regulations require that all monuments be carved from durable Barre gray granite, ensuring that it remains a showplace for, and enduring testament to, the skills of the area’s stone sculptors. It is already a popular tourist destination, but with the new cellphone tour, the cemetery comes alive, so to speak, with fascinating personal anecdotes about the folks buried

cemetery and the Rock of Ages granite quarries, in the words of Todd Paton. He heads visitor services at Rock of Ages’ modern visitors’ center in Graniteville, located high on a hillside above the city of Barre, five miles from Hope Cemetery. Paton developed and oversaw the launch of the cellphone tour in mid-July — so recently that it is not yet noted on the Rock of Ages website. After I decipher the cell tour map’s confusing schematics — go where the numbers are on the map, not where a monument’s image is — things begin to fall into place. I dial the main number and punch in a monument number from the tour map, and in quick order my phone reveals the backstory of Joey Laquerre Jr.’s No. 61 racecar. (The avid auto racer died in a snowmobile accident; the 1:4 scalemodel monument even has a carved axle underneath.) Next, I learn about the Celtic connections of the Irish Bancroft family, whose ornate cross headstone is carved (unusually) on both sides, with eight shamrocks for eight family members. As for noted French Canadian sculptor Ron Fortier, who ran a granite shop in Barre for 37 years, my cellphone explains how this native of Maple Grove, Québec,

Stories of the dead come alive in a new mobile guided tour of Hope Cemetery ou’d think it would be easy to find a dead man in a cemetery. But when there are more than 6000 headstones to roam among, the search can be, well, monumental. Leo LaCourse should be simple to locate — his distinctive headstone is a granite biplane arcing into the sky. Yet, after five minutes of wandering around Hope Cemetery, I haven’t spotted it. It doesn’t help that this paean to granite artistry, north of Barre on Route 14, covers 65 acres and has roads laid out Vermont style: like meandering cow paths. No angular rows here, à la Arlington National Cemetery. Eventually LaCourse’s headstone, hidden behind a hedge, comes into view. As I stand in front of it, a disembodied voice tells me the story behind the biplane: Leo and his wife, Caroline, were civil air patrol pilots; the headstone, which took three months to create, was carved by Leo’s brother-in-law, noted Barre granite artist Giuliano Cecchinelli. The voice isn’t coming from the beyond. I’m hearing it on my cellphone, in a convenient — and new-to-Vermont — melding of technology and tourism. It’s a “cellsational tour” of Barre’s artisanal

here and how their unique headstones came to be. Take the elegant and creative monument for the Bernasconi family: Two rectangular pillars are connected by eight chain links in an arch, each carved with a name. Via cell you learn that it was no easy task to carve those links from a single piece of granite — a perilous process, since a mistake or crack would ruin the whole chain. You also learn of the chain’s lovely symbolism: two close families and their children are linked together forever by marriage. Then there’s the tragic story of gifted Italian sculptor Louis Brusa and the controversy his monument incited. Brusa fought to force the granite sheds to install dust exhaust systems, even as he was dying of silicosis. The Vermont

Barre cemetery officials began working last year on the cell tour as a way to monetize the visits, as well as to enhance the experience on the grounds. Dwight Coffrin, director of cemeteries and parks for Barre, estimates that some 50,000 visitors a year pass through the town’s graveyards. The city gets $75 per bus for guiding tourist busloads in the crush of foliage season, and pulls in some money by occasionally hosting smaller groups, but many visitors arrive and wander independently without contributing to the upkeep or getting the full story. The Graniteville visitors’ center, which sells the guided-tour maps for $4.95, actively promotes Hope Cemetery in its promotional video and during tours of the working E.L. Smith Quarry. Two dozen other notable points are on the tour map, including activities in the manufacturing plant at Rock of Ages, details of granite

Legislature passed a law mandating the safety measure in 1937 — too late to help Brusa, who expired the same year. The monument, which he partially carved himself to honor victims of silicosis, caused its own dustup in Barre. It depicts a dying Brusa in the arms of an unnamed standing woman, whose shapely backside was apparently too much for some proper burghers. A prominent doctor had his own (future) gravesite moved so he wouldn’t have to stare at the “blatantly pornographic statue” for eternity. Observing the figure’s slender granite form with 21st-century eyes, however, you can only marvel at how times have changed. Paton says he got the idea for the cellphone tour after hearing about a similar system at the San Diego Zoo. It’s provided by a San Francisco-based company called Guide by Cell, which has crafted mobile audio or texting technology for university museums, an outdoor public-art initiative in Kansas City and the Monterey Bay Aquarium, among others. Rock of Ages gets tourist coaches “by the hundreds” in fall and a steady stream all summer, says Paton. Many of them head to Hope Cemetery after visiting the quarry and manufacturing plant to see granite handiwork up close. But, Paton notes, the cemetery is “greatly underfunded.” He and

landmarks at the visitors’ center and three noteworthy monuments in downtown Barre. The cellphone tour covers them all. Though Hope Cemetery gets most of the attention for now, Paton says he eventually plans to add Barre’s other historic and monumental cemetery, Elmwood, to the cellphone tour. Dating back to 1808, Elmwood resembles a striking 27-acre chessboard, with its many towering obelisks and pillars. Unlike Hope, with its granite solidity, Elmwood offers a time line of the monument trade, with headstones ranging from slate to marble to metal and granite. “You can go through the cemetery and see how monument styles changed,” explains Coffrin. The cell project drew from Barre’s deep well of local history experts and volunteers. Ilene Gillander, a longtime Barre resident and high school theater teacher, wrote the stories, which were narrated by locals, including some of Gillander’s former students. The cell tour isn’t perfect yet. Some of the numbers yield a dramatized story or one presented “as told by” a friend, which seem unnecessary and awkward embellishments. And, while there’s no phone charge except for airtime, it can be annoying to keep dialing in and disconnecting as you move from one

section of the cemetery to another, locating monuments with the map. But the cell system is especially successful at piercing the veils of mystery surrounding many of the headstones — and there’s no shortage of those. Who is the woman rising out of the smoke in soldier Giuseppe Donati’s pipe? How on earth does the Martel monument, a cube precariously balanced on a tall pedestal, stay in place? And what do the words carved on the sides mean? What’s up with the Vrooman monument, two prominent pyramids carved with scriptural quotations?

Sometimes mystery remains, though, and is even enhanced. Sculptor Brusa, who carved the silicosis monument, also created one of the cemetery’s most engaging figures for the monument of a relative: a youthful, sitting angel whose head, adorned with curly, flowing hair, rests on an open palm; her elbow perches on casually crossed legs. Is she pondering life and death? Is there a hint of a smile? Was she a wife, a mistress, a friend? Her face is beguiling, and her eyes seem to return the gaze of a captivated visitor. From the cellphone, you won’t learn answers about this angel, but rather an even

deeper mystery in a story nicely related by Shelley Ibey, who personally guides most of the bus tours at Hope Cemetery and is a repository of its history. As she tells it, in 2007, an elderly woman with failing health and eyesight was brought by her kids to tour the cemetery and asked if there was an angel she could “see” close up. They took her to the Brusa angel, which is close to the ground and easily viewed. She was greatly moved by the viewing, and profusely thanked Ibey. A few weeks later, one of the children called to say the woman’s sight had — against all odds — improved. She

credited the angel with the gift of restoring her vision. A miracle? Who knows? as Ibey notes via cellphone. But the story certainly lends new meaning and poignancy to the name Hope Cemetery. m Hope Cemetery is on Merchant Street in Barre. The Rock of Ages visitors’ center is located at 558 Graniteville Road in Graniteville, and is open Monday through Saturday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Quarry tours, 9:15 a.m. to 3:35 p.m. Info, 476-3119 or rockofages.com/en/gift-shop-a-tourism.

he dog days of summer, with their heat and oftenoppressive air, tend to bring out the aromatics around town, both good and bad. If you are blessed — or cursed, as the case may be — with a particularly acute sense of smell, these can present another dimension of hell along with the humidity. On a recent warm weekday, we decided to follow our bloodhound noses and pick up the scents proffered by the Queen City. Though a downpour the previous night had temporarily rinsed the air of some of its worst offenders, we’ve detected them often enough to guarantee their presence at peak times. Most of the smells are predictable: sewer=bad,

bakery=good, etc. Still, we figure the olfaction-impaired could benefit from a guide to the sweet, savory and stinky around the city’s neighborhoods*. In case, you know, someone asks you, “What’s that smell?” Our only rule for inclusion: The smell must be detectable to a passerby outside, whether in a car or on foot. If someone opens a door as you pass, and the aroma of chocolate, burgers, popcorn or beer typically wafts out, that counts. If you have to open the door, that doesn’t. *Driving through the New North End, we did not pick up on any particular smell. Could be that part of the city is just plain bland, but we’re not saying that.

ike most Europeans, Angelo Caserta measures ingredients in grams and kilos, not ounces and pounds. For instance, the 70-year-old chef says he has the capacity to turn out five kilos of gelato in each batch. Instead, he renders half that, to his wife’s occasional chagrin. “He could save a lot of grief,” chides Joanna Caserta, 71, watching Angelo make gelato inside the couple’s Montpelier restaurant, Al Portico. Bigger batches would halve the time commitment of his morning gelato-making sessions, she reasons. “No, I will not do that,” declares her husband, clearly proud of his process. The pastel array of gelato inside his display case is likely to date back only a day or two. Gelato, Caserta says, should be fresh, fresh, fresh: “Most people I know [who taste it], they say they’ve won the lottery.” Most tubs of the creamy gelato that Angelo Caserta makes sell out within a couple of days. The flavors range from a deep, intense chocolate to the luscious strawberry sorbetto he creates with berries from Sam Mazza’s Farm in Colchester. Caserta’s workspace is a corner of Al Portico, an airy café on Berlin Street devoted to Italian culinary delights — pizza and calzone, mainly, but also espresso and gelato. Conceivably, a customer could move from counter to counter for breakfast, lunch and dessert. And customers are more and more likely to check out Caserta’s newest specialty. Nationwide, iced-dessert options have exploded in the last two decades, and many of the new ones have lower fat content. Frozen yogurt is the king of this crop, but in recent years, gelato — ice cream’s silkier, lower-fat Italian cousin — has stepped up. While ice cream has about 14 percent milk fat, gelato has between 6 and 8. And, while frozen yogurt can seem almost retro, gelaterias are au courant, especially in urban areas. Gelato has been slower to travel to rural regions. When the Casertas left retirement to reopen their Italian eatery this spring, Angelo knew true gelato

was not easy to come by locally, he says. Supermarket pints are frozen harder than are servings in a gelateria, where ideally the product is made on the day you eat it. “True” gelato looks and feels almost molten, like frozen lava. Because less air is whipped into its body, the dessert is denser than ice cream, its flavors more intense. Its consistency hovers between that of a custard and a sorbet.

frequently, and by hand, which renders it less cost effective than ice cream. Though conflicting stories abound about gelato’s origins, the essence is that Romans and Egyptians brought the concept of sorbet — fruit juice mixed with snow — to southern Italy. Over the centuries, twists on the frozen dessert spread from the country’s heel to its calf. In the 16th century, Florentine chef Bernardo Buontalenti enthralled the court of Catherine de Medici with his form of gelato; not long after, a Sicilian

named Procopio dei Coltelli perfected the gelato-making machine and opened a gelato café in Paris. By the late 19th century, mobile gelato carts were commonplace in northern Italy, where a creamier gelato made with eggs and cream is sold, in contrast to the sorbetto of the south. Caserta has had a talent for spotting old-as-new food trends since he learned to make pizza in New Jersey in the early 1970s. A few years later, when he had a restaurant in Manchester, Vt., he brought an espresso machine from the Bronx and imported an Italian device to make pasta from scratch. After opening Al Portico, the couple’s third restaurant, Caserta purchased a pasteurizer and blast freezer and set about perfecting a craft he was first exposed to as a child. Growing up in Lazio, about 45 minutes by car south of Rome, Caserta occasionally helped a friend of his father make gelato. He and his wife moved from Italy to New Jersey in the 1970s, and when they tired of New York City encroaching on their Jersey suburb, they loaded up a station wagon with their two young daughters, dog and possessions, and headed north. The Casertas opened their first Italian restaurant, Angelo’s, in Manchester in 1978. In 1992, the couple moved to Montpelier and opened La Pizzeria, which they ran for 14 years. After they closed it, intending to retire, they rented out the building to a succession of businesses, including the eatery Girasole. When their last tenant foundered, the Casertas decided to dive back into Italian culinaria. “I was into gardening, but what are you going to do?” Joanna recalls. While turning out pizza and calzone was old hat, gelato proved an invigorating challenge for Angelo. “I needed to justify myself,” he says. “Pizza I know.” He spent the spring refining his flavors. They include Donatella, a milk chocolate and hazelnut gelato; mint, atop which Caserta drizzles hardshell chocolate syrup; and espresso, which draws its powerful flavors from COLD COMFORT

The Holtzes always hoped to open a store at their nearby factory, says Dan Holtz, but zoning rules prevented it. When they renovated the new, 450-squarefoot space, they realized there was more room than they could fill with their 16 cookie varieties. The solution?

STATE PONIES UP FOR MEAT-CUTTER TRAINING

Meat cutting may be a hot trade, but skilled butchers and slaughterhouses are still scarce in Vermont. State legislators know it, and last month they came up with $25,000 to fund curriculum development and on-the-job training for skilled meat cutters. The money will be distributed by the AGENCY OF AGRICULTURE, FOOD AND

MARKETS, which is collecting

proposals until the end of the month. “An apprenticeship or certificate for meat cutters heightens the respect in the

astringent Italian coffee paste and small bits of dark chocolate. Maple proved more of a challenge. Too much sugar messes with gelato’s freezing process, and most syrups Caserta tried were too sweet. Eventually, Grade B syrup seemed to work best, because it is powerful and can be used in smaller amounts. The maple taste is subtle on the first lick but spreads across the palate on the finish. Caserta’s sorbetti, such as strawberry, watermelon and lemon, are so creamy that it’s hard to believe they lack cream. The snow-white lemon sorbet has an intense pucker. “You know how we use lemon sorbetto in Italy?” asks Caserta wistfully. “To cleanse the palate. It’s an excuse to stay at the table for three or four hours.” On a recent morning, Caserta’s task is to make three flavors: cherry, banana and pistachio. For the last, a squat, round tin of Italian pistachio paste waits on the counter, with an “I (heart) Gelato” sticker stuck to its side. “Gelato, it’s very simple,” he insists in a thick Italian lilt. As his grandson, Malcolm, plays undulating classical guitar on a nearby stool, Caserta sets about making his first batch of the day. He places a plastic bucket on an electric scale and pours in a few hundred grams of whole milk. He adds a sprinkle of dextrose, then reaches for white sugar. Caserta recites each measure aloud, carefully watching the scale while he reminisces about his childhood. The young Angelo used to help his grandfather, a pharmacist, at work. “I would watch him mix things. He would give me powders to put in paper, and I would always taste them,” Caserta recalls. “He would tell me, ‘You are going to get sick!’” He pours sugar into his bucket and stirs. Then he adds a spoonful of starch as a stabilizer. “Without this, you cannot make a good gelato, or anything else,” Caserta advises. The stabilizers are essential to prevent the dreaded ice crystals from forming. He whisks the components, then adds the pistachio paste. When the pale-green mixture is whisked to his

satisfaction, Caserta transfers it to his Coldelite, an Italian-made machine that doubles as a pasteurizer and a chiller. As the gelato is heated to 185 degrees, the smell of ground pistachios fills the room. “First it cooks, then it freezes,” says Joanna Caserta, who is watching the process. Angelo Caserta knows some people like to cold process their gelato, but he thinks pasteurizing lets the flavors mingle and blend. A few minutes pass, and he flips a switch; hot cream swirls down into the chiller, where it is cooled to 27 degrees. It then eventually oozes into a rectangular silver tin. Caserta carts the gelato to his blast freezer, which will chill it to minus-38 degrees Fahrenheit in about 15 minutes. The air inside the freezer is a sharp, tingly cold. A sample of the slightly chilled gelato tastes of cream and earth. As he waits, Caserta muses. “I’m going to come up with a recipe that may be very strange,” he says. Its ingredients include extra virgin olive oil and Parmesan cheese. He’d also like to create a beer-flavored gelato. “Everybody loves beer here!” he exclaims. Caserta doesn’t know what regulations, if any, might apply to gelato with alcohol content. “If I go to jail, they’ll say, ‘Oh, he was a nice fella,’” he jokes with a shrug. Asked if gelato making will wind down for the fall and winter, both Casertas look stricken. “Why?” blurts Joanna, turning up her palms. “Gelato is good for every season.” In the fall, the couple will roll out gelato pastry and cakes. Despite gelato’s sophisticated deliciousness, most of the Casertas’ clientele are kids. Joanna says they seem entranced by the colors. “‘Can I have the green? Can I have the white?’ they ask. Their faces light up.” Customers like to taste all the flavors, and Angelo gladly obliges everyone, from the youngest to the oldest. Their only difficulty: choosing. m

dreadlocks so heavy that he had to tilt his head as he ripped open a hot-sauce packet and poured it over his vegetables with evident glee. I tried some broccoli-and-corn stir-fry and grabbed a slice of bread. The donated bread was old enough that I expected it to be as crusty and unappetizing as tree bark, but it still had flavor and volume. I was delighted to bite into a forkful of fresh salad greens that crunched instead of wilting. According to current coordinator Cecile Reuge, the group receives generous vegetable donations from local farms such as Diggers’ Mirth Collective Farm and Healthy City Youth Farm in Burlington, and Bread and Butter Farm in Shelburne. Other donations come from Burlington’s City Market, Red Onion, Klingers Bread Company and, occasionally, August First. The donations consist of surplus vegetables, fruits and bread that the group transforms into simple dishes such as salads, casseroles and stir-fries. Reuge, a tall, sturdy college student with a short, blond bob, says FNB has no strict hierarchy or organization, but rather a loose pattern of “natural succession.” Collectively, the duties

wo Sundays ago, I went to City Hall Park for a free meal offered by Food Not Bombs. In Orlando, Fla., this organization is currently at the center of a battle over public space; the city’s mayor, Buddy Dyer, has been quoted as calling its members “food terrorists.” Since June, Orlando police have arrested more than two dozen members of FNB as they fed the hungry in Lake Eola Park, on the grounds that they run afoul of a law that requires permits for serving food in public spaces and caps those permits at two per year. Does the Burlington chapter of FNB pose a threat to public safety? I headed to the park to find out. I found neither terrorists nor fierce political activists, but simply two friendly young women perched on the edge of the fountain beside a meager arrangement of hot dishes and bread. Three or four people hovered near the serving dishes slowly spooning broccoli into their bowls. The organizers and the diners chatted amicably, as if they were all longtime friends. A young man with one pant leg missing and half his head shaved went back for seconds. Another fellow had

For instance, they don’t “serve” the homeless or the hungry, but provide food and allow people to serve themselves. They eat alongside their attendees to reduce the stigma that usually separates charity workers from charity recipients. The eaters are encouraged to clean their own dishes in a bucket of soapy water. I certainly did not walk away from the park feeling scared for my life. Rather, I expect to join the cast of regulars who frequent these Sunday feasts, along with a recovering alcoholic with an incessant giggle who calls himself “Eric the Terrible” and a band of self-described “gutter punks” from New Orleans.

t’s not uncommon to smell deep, rich Dominican cacao wafting down Winooski’s upper Main Street. Residents are just as likely to catch a whiff of spicy habanero chiles or pungent, vinegared garlic. The odors don’t come from any of the city’s exotic eateries, but from a tiny, nondescript store called Vermont Food & Gifts. To passersby, the cheerful spot filled with Vermont-made dolls and packaged foods may look like a touristy place to pick up mementos of a trip to the Green Mountains. “The public doesn’t need to know what’s going on here,” says Randi Kay Metivier, who owns the business with her husband, Gerry. “They can see it if they put on their hairnets.” Those hairnets go on in the back, where the store becomes supplier. Randi Kay Metivier, who studied food science at the University of Vermont, enforces high hygiene standards at her New World Commercial Kitchen & Bakery. Neighbors may not need to know it exists, but for Chittenden County specialty-food producers, the rentable work space fills a gaping void. That’s because last year the Vermont Food Venture Center left its farmhouse digs in Fairfax to begin construction of a new building in Hardwick. In anticipation of the move, the Metiviers opened their spotless stainless-steel kitchen to hourly renters last summer. The Winooski residents themselves needed a space to produce their popular New World Enterprises food brand. Diners hip to the specialtyfood scene have probably tried the Metiviers’ salsas, which are available at local Shaw’s and Price Chopper supermarkets, as well as at specialty stores.

3/1/11 5:54 PM

Michaela’s Gourmet Salsa and Mariah’s Specialty Salsa — the latter comes in quirky flavors such as strawberry-kiwi — are named for the couple’s two now-teenage daughters. A third line called Howling Coyote Salsa is Gerry Metivier’s baby, an ultra-hot variety unlike anything he was able to find in Vermont until he started the company in 2003. Last April, the Metiviers began selling Bloody Mary mixes — which, like the salsas, they also recommend for use in marinades. Randi Kay says she likes them on grilled pork chops or even mixed in to spaghetti sauce. The Metiviers used to make their salsas at the Vermont Food Venture Center, which hosted about 15 local producers at its Fairfax location. But, since the couple opened the commercial kitchen in Winooski — which is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week — many of their friends from the venture center have relocated there. They didn’t have much choice while the new Hardwick VFVC was still in the works. According to operations manager George Keener, the stateof-the-art, 15,000-square-foot food-processing and warehousing facility will finally open next week. The new plant has staggering capacities, with three kitchens; a bakery; and storage, freezing, dehydrating and packing facilities. For many food producers who live and work more than an hour from the Northeast Kingdom, however, a trip to Hardwick simply isn’t worth it. Take Orange County schoolteacher and Hyde Park resident Ben Maniscalco, maker of Benito’s Hot Sauce, who used to prepare his Vermont-grown chile sauce in Fairfax. After making his final

batch around Thanksgiving, he needed somewhere to chop, cook and package his annual 9600 bottles of garlic- and even carrot-based concoctions. Chris Greene, owner of Greene’s Gourmet of Vermont, recommended New World. Greene, another hot-sauce maker, is no longer personally “of Vermont” — he lives in Kansas — but his product still is. He’s entrusted his recipe to Randi Kay, who bottles Greene’s Gourmet herself. “We let him know inventory levels, and he schedules orders of supplies to be shipped

here. We take it from there,” explains Metivier, who had to sign a confidentiality agreement promising she wouldn’t share the recipes for Greene’s Dragon’s Fire or Hoppin’ Hopi sauces. Metivier also “co-packs” for Green Mountain Mustard. For now, she produces the company’s four-ounce “shot” sizes. Since the full-size bottles are sold at Whole Foods, they require a specially certified kitchen to meet the megastore’s requirements. After an audit to qualify New World, scheduled for September,

Evardo Leandro, festival percussionist

Classical Act These days, there isn’t a classicalmusic group in the world not thinking about how to attract younger listeners, who seem to prefer Bieber to Brahms. The Lake Champlain Chamber Music Festival seems to be onto something. Its nine-day lineup intersperses enduring masterworks with young composers’ pieces that are so new, they’ll be read aloud by festival musicians in a public sounding board. Organized by violin virtuoso Soovin Kim — who honed his skills with the Vermont Youth Orchestra — the festival concerts, master classes and listening clubs feature chamber champs such as composer David Ludwig and Guarneri String Quartet violinist John Dalley.

LAKE CHAMPLAIN CHAMBER MUSIC FESTIVAL Saturday, August 20, through Sunday, August 28, various locations, Colchester and Burlington. Various prices. View calendar listings for details. Info, 846-2175. lccmf.org

Time and again, Frank Loesser’s Guys and Dolls has proven itself to be a play with heart — from its soaring score with lines such as “I love you a bushel and a peck” to its lovable gamblers and their romantic follies. “At its essence, it’s about men and women misunderstanding each other,” says Unadilla Theatre director Caleb Pitkin. Though the cast of high rollers (“one dozen genuine sinners”), chorus gals and missionaries represents a bygone New York, the musical’s real game of chance — love — makes it timeless. Throw in ear-catching tunes such as “Adelaide’s Lament,” and it’s a sure bet.

‘CINDERELLA’

Roll With the Dice

orget the pumpkin carriage, fairy godmother and glass slipper. The 1817 opera La Cenerentola, ossia La Bontà in Trionfo (Cinderella, or Goodness Triumphant) does away with the fairy tale’s special effects, but keeps the magic in the form of enchanting coloratura melodies packed with vocal leaps, runs and trills. Composed in just three weeks by a 25-year-old Gioachino Rossini, the spellbinding score and orchestral storm made waves in Italy before being relatively forgotten until the middle of the 20th century — a result of the rarity of contralto or mezzo-soprano voices to sing the lead role. JoAna Rusche plays the heroine in Opera North’s rendition of the charming love story.

Conscious Party A Vermont couple brings music and yoga together

SEVENDAYSVT.COM 08.17.11-08.24.11 SEVEN DAYS 58 MUSIC

MATTHEW THORSEN

s a teenager, Ben Lanza had a knack for throwing parties. Not the Hey, my parents are away, let’s get a keg sort of thing. These were dance-until-10-inthe-morning ragers. At age 16, Lanza rented a huge tent, booked Craig Mitchell and a gang of other Burlington DJs, and spread the word. Nearly 500 people paid a few bucks each to boogie the night away in a field at the Lanza homestead in rural Sheldon, Vt. And he had his parents’ blessing. Lanza knew he was onto something. But the budding promoter probably had no inkling that his backyard throwdown would evolve into a family business. Now Lanza and his wife, Jane Jarecki Lanza, both 28, are the brains behind the fourth annual Liberate Music & Yoga Festival and the owners of Eclectic Music Productions. They’re just weeks away from putting on this year’s threeday bash, with the help of a few employees and a cadre of volunteers. And they’re pretty calm about it. “Maybe some things aren’t exactly finished, but if we didn’t get anything else done, the festival would still happen,” says Ben. The couple sip tea on a serene, shaded porch at their home in Essex Junction as they talk about the nitty-gritty of creating a festival. Though they’re in crunch time, they don’t show any signs of stress. Maybe it’s all that yoga. Instead of venting about bands or vendors, Ben is enthusiastic about the finer points of logistical challenges or the dedication of volunteers. One thing’s for sure: The Lanzas have learned a lot over the past four years. “It’s constantly a learning game,” says Jane. “It’s kind of like high school or college — some chunk of education where you get through it and you say, Wow, I wouldn’t want to start that all over again, but I’m glad I learned so much.” From the first Liberate fest, the Lanzas have done everything from changing trash bags to tracking down Band-Aids to talking with Vermont State Troopers. This time, they’ll be able to leave most of that stuff to others. “The ideal situation would be to be able to put down the radio for a while,” says Ben, referring to the walkie-talkies

they carry during the festival. “It feels like there’s a team in place this year to make that possible.” Ben Lanza and Jane Jarecki met when they were students at the University of Vermont; both had already spent a couple of years at Boston University. When Ben returned to Vermont, he knew he wanted to host more huge dance parties. “Part of the motivation for picking it back up was just how much I needed music, and that feeling that you get at certain times during a concert,” he explains. “When you really know, even feel, that you’re sharing something with the people in the room and they know it, too.” So, in 2006, Lanza and a buddy started planning what they thought would be primarily a music festival. By that time, Jane was studying to become a certified Kripalu yoga teacher. “I kinda had visions of huge yoga outside,” Jane says. “I started to recognize that that could be my contribution.” The first Liberate festival took place outdoors on a summer day in 2008 at the Bundy Center for the Arts in Waitsfield.

It began with yoga, and additional classes were interspersed between sets by local bands such as Twiddle, the Dead Sessions and Rubblebucket. The event was sparsely attended and the music stopped at 10 p.m., but the Lanzas knew how to improve it. For starters, they were convinced the music had to go into the wee hours. After searching for a location that could accommodate camping and late-night sets, they decided to bring it back home: to the Lanza family spread. That allows Ben and Jane to experiment with the location of campsites, stages and parking. The site is large enough for future expansion — the Lanzas envision festival attendance in the thousands. For now, they’re focused on pulling off this year’s fest without a hitch. They’ve improved the access roads, moved family camping to a quieter spot, and increased access to freshwater. And for the folks who were bummed there was no morning coffee vendor last year? It’s handled. The musical lineup continues to evolve, as well. This year sees the re-

turn of a few perennial favorites, such as Rubblebucket and Twiddle, along with newcomers Conspirator, Ott., Marco Benevento and the Everyone Orchestra featuring multi-instrumentalist Michael Kang of String Cheese Incident. Yoga teachers Simon Park, Shyamdas, Prem Prakash and homegirl Jane Jarecki Lanza will keep attendees limber and mindful — even those who rock the late-night DJ tent. As for Ben and Jane, they hardly get a wink no matter what happens. “Sleep deprivation is a problem for us,” Jane concedes. “We have a hard time acknowledging there’s a huge, raging party in the backyard and not participating.”

Liberate Music & Yoga Festival is, Thursday, August 18, through Sunday, August 21, 845 Poor Farm Road, Sheldon. $55 for a one-day pass with camping, $85 for two days with camping, and $105 for three days with camping. Full schedule and more info at liberatevt.com.

“Whoa.” Wouldn’t have made for much of a blog post, I’m afraid. There was once a great Chris farley skit on “Saturday Night Live” in which the portly comic interviews Paul MCCartney. His big question: “Remember when you were in the Beatles? … That was awesome!” That’s kind of how I felt trying to wrap my head around what I saw at the Mangum show. It was … awesome. Never mind that Burlington was the first stop on his tour — which was also awesome, and a feather in the city’s cap. Or that he may have sounded even better than when NMH’s landmark album, In the Aeroplane Over the Sea, was released 10 years ago. (Also awesome.) And never mind that the UU church is a beautiful venue for an acoustic show. (Ditto.) Mangum’s performance, for me, and I’d wager for most of the crowd that night, was intensely personal. I don’t know if I had fully appreciated how much that album means to me until I heard the songs come from the mouth of the man who wrote them, and who seems

Grand Point North, hopefully, will not occur just once in our lives. graCe Potter said she wanted to showcase Burlington with GPN (the festival). And that’s exactly what she and her noCturnals did, for two tremendous days of music at Waterfront Park this past weekend. The highlights were almost too numerous to mention. But a few stand out: fitz & the tantruMs were a blast. Dynamos onstage. Their recorded stuff, which I like, doesn’t do them justice.

believe I’ve been watching those cats play in Burlington, in various incarnations, since I was a teenager. And it never gets old. taJ Mahal almost made me cry when he closed his set with a duet with his daughter, deva Mahal, on “Lovin’ in My Baby’s Eyes.” Beautiful song. Beautiful moment. I just got chills thinking about it. Kenny Chesney, who joined GPN for a few tunes Sunday, is much shorter than I thought he’d be. Though I missed both bands, I heard a lot of buzz about both lendway and ParMaga while strolling the grounds. I don’t want to say, “I told you so.” But I’ve been writing that those are two of Burlington’s brightest upand-comers for a while now. So … OK, I told you so. Ditto Maryse sMith. But I know what you’re all wondering: What about Grace and band? I thought they were terrific. Really. At this point, we all know exactly what GPN are. Love ’em or hate ’em, they are a well-oiled, commercial entity. A brand as much as a band. Actually, they always have been, and have SoUnDbITeS

Well, I am just exhausted. If you’re a music fan in or around Burlington, the last week and a half or so has been nothing short of epic. From Neutral Milk Hotel’s Jeff ManguM at the Universalist Unitarian Church to the Festival of Fools — not strictly music, but wild and fun nonetheless — and, of course, this past weekend’s Grand Point North/Lake Champlain Maritime Festival, the Queen City has been treated to an absolute embarrassment of musical riches this month. And that’s not even taking out-of-town fests such as Tweed River, RhinoFest and the Valley Stage into consideration. In short, it’s been borderline overwhelming. But let’s try to make some sense of it, shall we? I sat down at my computer on four or five occasions last week trying to put into words what those of us at the UU church experienced on Monday, August 1, witnessing Jeff Mangum’s return to the stage. The best I could do?

— and, yeah, totally hot. In previous times I’ve caught GPN, I felt that she was struggling to match the diva persona. Well, she got there. And it’s been a fascinating evolution, punctuated by two legitimately impressive shows this weekend, and a festival that truly did highlight the bounty of music her home state has to offer. Thanks, Grace. Let’s do it again next year. Can I go to bed now?

You know who else is the real deal? KAT WRIGHT & THE INDOMITABLE SOUL BAND. After GPN Friday, I caught their set at what will likely be the last Full Moon Masquerade at Parima. If you haven’t seen the band at its Thursdaynight Radio Bean residency, do it. Like, now. The band is stellar, and Wright is one of the most captivating vocalists this town has seen in years. While we’re on the subject, word on the street is that, even though Parima is closing, SCOTT MANGAN is planning to keep his

monthly full-moon parties going, possibly taking them underground. That’s a very, very good thing. Stay tuned.

August 19, at the Black Door in Montpelier; Saturday, August 20, at the Bee’s Knees in Morrisville; and Sunday, August 21, at Radio Bean.

Welcome back, SPIRIT ANIMAL! The offshoot of late, great local rock band IN MEMORY OF PLUTO has been curiously absent from the scene lately. Turns out they’ve been working on a new album, scheduled for release this fall. Spirit Animal will be at the Monkey House this Thursday, August 18, with GRAPH and PILE. It’s reportedly their first show with new guitarist John Flanagan, who was also a member of IMOP. Killer.

Last but not least, local bar band PLEASUREDOME, which feature veteran hardcore drummer JOE VILLEMAIRE (DROWNINGMAN), as well as members of seminal BTV hardcore acts SLUSH and UNCOMMON TONGUE, are headlining a benefit this Saturday at the Kahagon Resort in Hardwick for a friend’s daughter who was born with epidermolysis bullosa. EB is a very rare, painful and, sadly, incurable disease. The band is also playing a warm-up gig Friday night in more native environs: On Tap in Essex Junction. If you can’t make it Saturday, they’ll be collecting donations Friday, as well.

Band Name of the Week: SUN HAS FOUND ME. Several readers have emailed me this week singing the praises of this Swedish electro-pop outfit and its front woman, LOVISA SAMUELSSON. I don’t speak Swedish, so I have no idea what Samuelsson is singing about. But I don’t care. I think I’m in love. You might be, too, when you hear Lovisa Samuelsson. The band makes a trio of VT stops this week: Friday,

never shied away from that or apologized for it — nor should they have to. This idea of “little Gracie Potter from Waitsfield” is bullshit. It’s a fan base projecting what they want to believe about Potter onto Potter. And it’s the reason critics say they “sold out.” But this is what the band has always been. And now, people well beyond Vermont are taking notice. Grace Potter is a Rock Star. She’s a diva. As divas usually do, she trades (almost) as much on sex appeal as her considerable vocal talents — which really are phenomenal. And that’s fine, especially because she, and her band, are very, very good at it. I’ve never really been a GPN fan, though I’ve always understood the appeal. However, this weekend I came away genuinely impressed. The band members were in lockstep with one another in a way I hadn’t heard them before. And Grace sounded better than I ever remember hearing her. She was commanding and compelling

Willy Lindner, Life, Still, With Mandolin (SELF-RELEASED, CD)

to a surprisingly vibrant rock scene off I-91. The disc kicks off with “American Eyes,” which grabs hold with unabashed ’80s rock swagger and doesn’t let go. Vocalist Chris “Rusty” Goulet has a meaty, high-toned delivery that well suits his band’s no-frills, torn-denim aesthetic. His interplay with fellow guitarist Davis “Daggers” McGraw proves he’s a capable axeman to boot. The Pilgrims don’t blow you away with virtuosic chops or life-altering lyrical profundity. But what they do, they do very well and without apology. “Pearl Street Blues” is straightforward pop-punk sneer. I want to compare it to a track by cheeky 1990s pop-punk band Nerf Herder, but that wouldn’t do WDL justice. The tune has a similarly light, snarky attitude, but the Pilgrims seem a touch rougher around the edges — especially on the gloriously singsong line “Fuck you, I’m moving to Canada.” The Pilgrims are certainly informed by 1980s and ’90s alt-, punk and indie rock. But they rise above simply

rehashing dated sounds to produce something both current and reverent — and often irreverent. “Snowstorm,” a goofy love song, sounds like what might happen if Joe Jackson replaced Rivers Cuomo in Weezer. “Skint Cats” follows a similarly offbeat tack. “Butter” closes the record with bouncy, rockabilly snarl. Nobility is short and sweet. But if the rest of the What Doth Life scene is anything like the Pilgrims, northern audiences will need to make their own Windsor pilgrimages very soon. Nobility by the Pilgrims is available at whatdothlife.com.

08.17.11-08.24.11

If you had to guess where the next great Vermont musician’s cooperative might come from, what town/city/gore would you choose? Burlington, in all its artsy Queen City glory, would seem the obvious choice. You could make a case for Montpelier, as well, even post-Langdon Street Café … sigh. But my guess is that the next awesome crew of likeminded songwriters and rockers won’t emerge from the state capital or Vermont’s most populous city. Instead, keep your eye on Windsor, and newish collective/label What Doth Life. That’s right. The supposed birthplace of Vermont, original state capital — free history lesson, kiddos — and sleepy Upper Valley town might just provide Green Mountain music fans with the next local rock boom. Proof: Nobility by Windsor-based power trio the Pilgrims. It’s actually the 13th project released by WDL, but the first to make it to the Seven Days music desk. The verdict: Keep ’em coming, Windsor. The brisk, six-song EP is a rollicking, punk-tinged rock-and-roll introduction

A question for Willy Lindner: Why the hell did it take you 40-plus years to release your debut record? I suppose I can take a couple of stabs. You’ve probably been kinda busy carousing with your brother as members of local bluegrass act Banjo Dan and the Midnite Plowboys. You may have been a touch preoccupied working with the New Bremen Town Musicians on one of the finest Vermont folk records of the last 20-ish years, When Time Was Young, which you released with almost no fanfare last year. (The album was actually recorded, like, a decade ago, but you sat on that one, too!) Perhaps your occasional forays with the WDEV Radio Rangers and Sky Blue Boys ate up some time, as well. Or maybe it was raising a family of equally talented pickers and singers. Whatever the reason, I gotta say, WTF? Because your “debut” album, Life, Still, With Mandolin, is such a pleasure to experience, it makes me mad you’ve been holding out on us for so long. Not fair, dude. Fans of folk and bluegrass will undoubtedly get a kick out of the album, though. Every song is superbly arranged and performed. From the plucky instrumental opener, “Redeye,” through the beautiful, benedictory closing, “Ferenji” — written by your son, Travis Lindner — this album is an exposition of the best that Vermont folk music has to offer, and provides a heartwarming glimpse into what sounds like a wonderful family and circle of friends. Take “Tennessee Lament.” As your

mandolin and Jon Glik’s fiddle amble around Dave Rowell’s beautifully smooth tenor vocals, your wife, Nancy Mosher, and your brother, “Banjo Dan” Lindner, drop by with subtly perfect backing harmonies that tie the whole together. And you follow that with a heart-wrenching treatise, “Gravesend,” that gracefully addresses the uncomfortable truth that a big part of living is dying. It’s expertly and tenderly executed, just like virtually all the tracks here. By the way, your daughter Shannon is a stunning singer. Her duet with cousin Deanna Booth on “Blue Ball (Path of Peace)” is sublime. I could go on. But I’d prefer to just thank you for sharing your music, family and friends with us. Life, Still, With Mandolin is a truly beautiful record that cuts to the core of what it means to be in the company of people you love. Just don’t make us wait another 40 years for the next one, OK? Life, Still With Mandolin by Willy Lindner is available at banjodan.com.

“The Child in Art,” Fleming Museum of Art

66 ART

SEVEN DAYS

08.17.11-08.24.11

SEVENDAYSVT.COM

ongtime New Yorker cartoonist and Brookfield resident Ed Koren has garnered most of the attention at the Fleming Museum this summer — a retrospective of his cartoons and other drawings, titled “The Capricious Line,” fills the largest gallery. But visitors ought not to miss the quietly engaging complement in the smaller Wolcott Gallery across the Marble Court. Better yet, go back and spend some time solely with “The Child in Art,” an exhibit that museum director Janie Cohen calls “a little gem.” She most likely feels that way because each of the 40-odd pieces here was culled from the permanent collection and, as such, represents the cache of treasures in the museum’s storerooms. Most of these works have never been shown to the public at all. The title is literal: “The Child in Art” presents a diverse selection of paintings, prints, photographs and sculptures by adults that depict children. They range from a pre-Columbian terra-cotta figurine of a mother and child, to an early17th-century Flemish engraving of a Madonna and holy infant, to a late-20thcentury Carrie Mae Weems photo of an African American woman and little girl primping before their mirrors. Though the exhibit straddles a broad expanse of time and cultures, the majority of works here were created in the 19th and 20th centuries in Europe and the U.S. — several in Vermont. Even so, they reveal widely disparate attitudes toward and social circumstances of children, from coddled royals to child laborers of the impoverished class. As well, the works demonstrate evolving artistic styles and media — particularly printing technologies — though this is an aside and not the focus of curator Aimee Marcereau DeGalan’s selections. The painting that greets viewers at the gallery entrance is one of the most reverential — the child in it is a saint. “St. John the Baptist as a Child” is the work of British painter James Sant circa 1870. Considered the patron saint of Florence, John was often depicted as a child in artwork, and his luminous rendering recalls Florentine portraiture. Lushly brushed and beautifully framed, the subject might be the pinnacle of in-

nocence, purity and goodness — an enduring, if idealized, characterization of childhood. The most fanciful painting here is also arguably the most enchanting, which is fitting since its subject is a wood nymph. The dreamlike “Out of the Dark, Dark Wood” was painted circa 1890 by Vermont artist William Baxter Palmer Closson and depicts a small, blond, pink-outfitted creature standing at the edge of the woods and practically vibrating on the canvas. Closson’s wiggly brush strokes are

Service Fund presents children (and some adults) as vulnerable creatures in need of rescue and protection. Lewis W. Hine’s black-and-white, silver-gelatin photographs document the stark lives of child laborers, including ones in Burlington’s and Winooski’s woolen mills.

a paperback the girl attempts to study: Hints for the Baby Sitter. This is realism that tickled postwar readers of the Saturday Evening Post. Most of the selections in the show are Western, but not all: Belarusian photographer Max Penson documented feudal Uzbekistan as it transitioned into a modern Soviet Republic. In the Fleming’s small but captivating photo from 1930, a smiling young boy sits on the knee of an old man with a long white beard. A young Samoan appears in another photograph. Whether familiar or exotic, DeGalan’s picks from the permanent collection suggest the eclecticism of the museum’s holdings; perhaps the only good

“St. John the Baptist as a Child” by James Sant

perhaps meant to convey the evanescence of childhood, and of nature itself. Whatever the objective, the painting is intriguing, and so is its unique moldedpaper frame. While Victorian-era portraits of privileged children — alive or postmortem — are all fine fabrics, ringlets and rosy cheeks, some early-20th-century works offer a dose of harsh economic reality. A dramatic, poster-sized 1919 illustration for the Salvation Army’s Home

These are the kinds of images that began to change society’s consciousness — and laws. Norman Rockwell took a different, and typically humorous, tack on the working child: “The Babysitter,” from 1947 — a painting on long-term loan from the Burlington School District — depicts an exasperated teen with a squalling infant on her lap. Rockwell’s colorful details tell the story — abandoned schoolbooks and ineffective toys,

thing about tight economic times is that viewers are likely to see more such “inhouse” exhibits. “It’s a chance to see what’s in there,” says DeGalan of the Fleming’s closets. “There are so many shows waiting to be discovered.” PA M EL A P O L S T O N “The Child in Art,” Fleming Museum of Art, UVM, Burlington.

movies 30 Minutes or Less ★★

his is the kind of movie during which one’s mind tends to wander. I suspect it would hightail it out of the theater, hop in the car and head for the city limits if it could, but, unfortunately for one’s mind, wander is the best it can do. I found mine wandering to the recently released book Lies That Chelsea Handler Told Me, which I happen to be reading. It’s an extremely amusing collection of anecdotes about the comedian, and 30 Minutes or Less is a comedy that’s almost never amusing. But that’s not why my mind wandered to the book. The reason is this: The book catalogs pranks Handler has played on her staff, family and friends. In a chapter written by comic cohort Heather McDonald, we learn that Handler once convinced members of her inner circle she’d been asked to star opposite Meryl Streep in a film based on the Challenger space shuttle disaster. The most amazing part of this fabrication, recounts McDonald, wasn’t that Handler was supposedly going to play Streep’s daughter — to whom the deceased astronaut speaks from heaven — but that the project was conceived

The Help ★★★

wenty-three years ago, someone made a movie about a plucky white girl who lives in the Kennedy-era American South but knows little of the day-to-day oppression that African Americans face there. After she learns the truth, our heroine recruits a sassy black lady to help her defeat the forces of funhating, bouffant-haired bigots who insist on segregating spaces that should be open to all. That film is John Waters’ Hairspray, a good-natured camp fest that ridiculed, among other things, the self-congratulatory tone of message movies in which decent white people “discover” racism and do something about it. The Help, which has a similar basic plotline, could have used a dose of Waters’ self-awareness. What this adaptation of Kathryn Stockett’s best-selling novel has instead are Hairspray-esque bouffants and broad caricatures aplenty, crowd-pleasing scenes of comic humiliation and a central set piece that the Waters of Pink Flamingos would have appreciated. It’s camp for people who want to feel like they’re seeing something educational and uplifting between the guffaws. That’s not to say movies about Important Subjects have to be serious. But if they’re going to be taken seriously, they should tackle

as a comedy. “Really? I just don’t see how they could make that funny,” McDonald responded, on hearing the premise. In 2003, a Pennsylvania pizza delivery guy was strapped to a bomb, sent into a bank with orders to rob it and ultimately blown up by two psychos, who are now in prison. Somewhere along the line, Zombieland director Ruben Fleischer and screenwriter Michael Diliberti were inspired to make a film based on this disaster. The plan was for Jesse Eisenberg to play the pizza guy, and, perhaps most confoundingly, the project was conceived as a comedy. Really? I thought when I read about this. I just don’t see how they could make that funny. They didn’t. I’d like to think the whole thing was a Handler-esque prank that got out of control, but it appears producers and studio executives actually thought this was a good idea. Which surprises me less, naturally, than the fact that Eisenberg thought it was a good idea. This is more than simply a spectacularly bad career move. 30 Minutes or Less is literally the first bad movie the actor has headlined. It’s all too moronic to merit more than passing comment. Danny McBride plays a

BANK FAILURE Fleischer’s latest takes a real-life tragedy and turns it into a comedy that only sporadically generates interest.

slacker creep who hatches the bomb vest/ bank heist scheme to get cash so he can pay a hit man to murder his ex-Marine, lottowinning father (Fred Ward) before there aren’t any winnings left to inherit. He needs a patsy, so he dials the pie place where Eisenberg works. Once he’s strapped into the vest and given a deadline for producing the loot, Eisenberg’s character does what anyone in his situation would do: He visits his onagain;,off-again girlfriend (Dilshad Vadsaria) and swaps raunchy repartee with his best

friend (Aziz Ansari). What he does not do is inform the authorities, something he has countless opportunities to do. To be fair, virtually all the characters in this movie are dumb or mean or both. I left wondering what Fleischer and Diliberti have against Grand Rapids, Mich., where the story is set. There’s very little that’s not slapdash, vulgar, predictable or derivative in 30 Minutes or Less. The upside is that that’s about how long it should take to forget you ever saw it. RICK KISONAK

REVIEWS the complex realities of those subjects, rather than repeatedly going for the easy cheers, boos or laughs. Director Tate Taylor, who adapted the novel with Stockett’s blessing (they’re longtime friends), has done the latter. Still, the movie gets some substance from the strong cast, who breathe life into their wafer-thin characters. Emma Stone plays Skeeter, the plucky white girl who returns from college to her hometown of Jackson, Miss., to discover that her childhood friends have blossomed into well-coiffed wives, mothers and bigots. Elizabeth (Ahna O’Reilly) ignores her small daughter while the long-suffering maid Aibileen (Viola Davis) gently raises her. Queen bee Hilly Holbrook (Bryce Dallas Howard) fires her maid, Minny (Octavia Spencer), for using the inside bathroom designated For Whites Only. Eager to trade in her lowly local newspaper job for the status of a real writer, Skeeter hits on the idea of eliciting an oral history of “the help,” the women who raise the future leaders of a culture in which they themselves have no power and no voice. Skeeter starts encouraging the maids to do the unthinkable (and, under Jim Crow laws, prosecutable): speak their minds about the status quo. It’s a powerful and intriguing premise. But the film idealizes the relationships between the maids and their charges almost

as shamelessly as Gone With the Wind idealized Scarlett’s Mammy. (“You’re my real mother,” a kid lisps to Aibileen, in case we didn’t get the point.) The difference here — and it is a significant one — is that Davis gets to flesh out her character into a real woman with fatigue, regrets and frustrations. Aibileen doesn’t talk much when she’s not narrating the film, but her silence is eloquent. It’s that of a woman whose life experience has made her patient, but not a saint. It’s good to have Spencer’s way-less-patient Minny for contrast. While she’s more of a caricature than Aibileen, she’s sharp tongued and hilarious, especially in her scenes with the equally caricatured Celia Foote (Jessica Chastain), the shanty-town bombshell who’s married her way into Jackson high society. Allison Janney brings depth and humanity to the role of Skeeter’s judgmental mother, and Howard makes Hilly’s glacial hauteur highly amusing.

WORLDS APART Davis plays a maid who can raise socialites’ children but not use their toilets in Taylor’s adaptation.

Too bad she never gets a showdown with Stone. While Skeeter undermines the racism of her supposed friends with her writing, she doesn’t speak up and confront them — a puzzling omission from the film, given that we have to watch scenes of her telling off a caddish potential boyfriend and doing other standard female-empowerment-story stuff. It’s enough to make you wish that stories about the hidden lives of household help didn’t have to be so painstakingly told through the eyes of someone who’s not living them.
