WHAT’S THE ‘DEAL’? Please tell the agents in “The Real Estate Deal” that friends, family, babies, children and spouses are NOT “possessions,” prized or otherwise. Come on, guys, tell me about your record collection or something. Or stop asking the question. Christine Tiplady UNDERHILL
THE WORD ON PEARLS Long before “Pearls” became “135 Pearl,” the media gradually bastardized the spelling of the original name — and consequently its meaning —- into “Pearl’s” [“Bar None,” July 18]. “Pearls” meant just that: the plural form of “pearl,” i.e., two or more pearls. It was never meant to refer to a single pearl, nor to a person named Pearl. The misspelling “Pearl’s” could no doubt be traced to someone with a passion for forming the plural of nouns by adding “apostrophe’s” where none are needed. Michael Loris
[The band’s vocalist] Vick [Nelson Miles] has lived in Vermont since 1968 and is a pioneer in the Burlington music scene. Part of the Rainbow Warriors, leader of Visions, creator and driving force behind the legendary Uptown Express, Vick has been a part of or played with some of the best bands in Burlington. PMP is not a reggae CD, but reggae is one of the main influences in several tracks. PMP was recorded in my old farmhouse over several years. We released it because people really liked what we were doing. Our plans for playing live were postponed for personal reasons, which had nothing to do with the music. I do not think we deserved this hatchet job from someone with no history or perspective. I know Vick does not deserve it. As far as the name goes, maybe we will change it in the future, something like myspace. com/peerymilespea. Phil Peery
Freyne casts a jaundiced eye on House Majority Whip Floyd Nease’s statement that “there was an unprecedented effort by Entergy. The three largest, most powerful lobbying firms in Vermont were employed in this effort.” Freyne writes that Nease later “ate some crow” for this statement because Entergy “only had one professional Statehouse lobbying outfit on their hired-gun dance card.” Spit that crow out, Mr. Nease; a veteran like Freyne should know that lobbyists who share the same
goal — killing legislation — work together even if they don’t share the same client. Here, the state’s best lobbying firm, Kimbell, Sherman and Ellis (I’d hire them), worked for Green Mountain Power to protect Entergy’s favored tax status and sustain Douglas’ veto. Downs, Rachlin and Martin also had its lobbyists dancing to Entergy’s tune, even though their main client was IBM. By focusing on the fact that Entergy technically only had one “firm” on its payroll, Freyne
obscures the role of other bigmoney interests like the utilities, IBM, Associated Industries of Vermont and Greater Burlington Industrial Corp., etc. as Entergy compatriots battling House leaders in their effort to tackle global warming while lowering heating bills for all Vermonters and creating local jobs. That’s the real inside track. Anthony Iarrapino MONTPELIER

What do people actually read when they pick up our newspaper? It’s impossible for us to know for sure. That’s not true online — thanks to Google Analytics, we have loads of data about what people like to read on our website, www.sevendaysvt.com. Regular features like the personals are popular — and the music, calendar and film listings. Peter Freyne’s column is also a big draw, as are our art listings and the letters to the editor. Individual articles don’t get as much traffic, especially after a few weeks, when they’re no longer timely.
5) “Taste Test: Pulcinella’s” by Suzanne Podhaizer. 6) “Three for the Road: A trio of music fests in Vermont” by Dan Bolles. 7) “Guest Treatment: Seasonal foreign workers make a limited livelihood — and lots of friends — at the Basin Harbor Club” by Mike Ives. 8) “Hackie” by Jernigan Pontiac. 9) “Rolling, Rolling, Rolling: Burlington bocce players get their own court” by Sarah Tuff. 10) “Guilt-Free Food” by Alice Levitt. If you’d like to see this list on a weekly basis, subscribe to NOW. There’s a box to input your email address along the top of our website.
But some stories have a surprisingly long shelf life. Two of the 10 most popular stories so far this year were actually published in 2006 — “Life Drawing,” a profile of Vermont cartoonist and author Alison Bechdel, by Margot Harrison, and “Bomb’s Away,” a story I wrote about 12 former nuclear missile silos in Vermont and New York.
let the games begin! it’s North vs. South at burlington’s old North end Ramble.
These snapshots of what people are reading say a lot about what interests our community — and they can point out worthwhile stories that you might otherwise have overlooked. That’s why many newspaper websites now feature lists of “Most Popular” or “Most Emailed” stories.

[taxi tales]
Rastaman Vibration Every town has its contingent of public personalities, and Burlington is no exception. Like, for instance, the Birdman. A Jamaican émigré, he plies the streets of Burlington on a bicycle that can best be described as an evolving work of art. On weekend nights, he can often be found in front of the nightclubs, his bike stocked with flowers. (Other items found on the bike might also be for sale; I’ve not figured that one out.) Last night I spotted the Birdman’s bike parked in front of Nectar’s, and I got out of my cab to take a closer look. The vessel is a movable sculpture emanating such a positive vibe that passersby can’t help but stop and gawk. I noticed a sign on the stern and snapped a photo. As I examined the shot on the camera’s display screen, I felt a tap on the shoulder. “That be five dollars, mon.” I turned around to meet the Birdman at eye level. “You’re kidding me, right? I mean, I just wanted a photo of the bike for my blog.” “I’m not fooling, mon. Check out the sign.” I turned back around to examine the bike, and, sure enough, there was another little green sign that read, “Please, photographs $5.” Fair enough, I thought. Everybody’s got to make a buck. I withdrew a fiver from my wallet and handed it to him. “Can I get a photo of you and the bike?” I asked, trying to at least get my money’s worth. “Sure, mon,” he replied with a smile.

mmmmm, donuts. Watch donut-eating contest participants chow down at The Simpsons Movie premiere in burlington.
The Seven Days website doesn’t include those features — yet — but we publish a list of the week’s most popular stories in Seven Days NOW (Notes on the Weekend), our email newsletter, which comes out on Thursdays. Peter Freyne’s weekly screed typically tops the list, but it’s tough to predict what else will strike a nerve and climb the charts, so to speak. Here are the 10 most popular stories from last week, for example (the data measure web traffic from Wednesday through Monday): 1) “Inside Track” by Peter Freyne. 2) “Summer Tourism Guide” by Paula Routly (published 7/11/07). 3) “Local Skateboarder Stable After Mountain Road Accident” by Ken Picard. 4) “A Director Prepares...: A couple of Hollywood refugees find cinematic sanctuary in Granville” by Margot Harrison.

Sticks and Stones... I’m not sure how often you folks check the comments for each blog post, but I do fairly regularly. I guess that kind of makes sense since this is sorta my blog. Anyway, I wanted to pass along this little gem because I’d hate to think it had been overlooked. Here it is, from “Ted,” in response to a post entitled “A-Hole:” Who let this loser be a music writer? It’s bad enough that we have to endure his idiotic musings in the paper every week. Now he’s editorializing about ARod? Glad you think he’s a total douche. Why not fill up this space with other original Red Sox fan opinions like “Jeter Sucks, A-rod swallows?” I could go on endlessly about how a certain loud-mouthed Red Sox pitcher is by far the douchiest player baseball has seen in decades. . . but I’ll save that debate for when I’m sharing a beer with my buddies, and leave this space open for those who want to discuss local music. Well, “Ted,” I’ll be the first to admit that I don’t always write about music, local or otherwise. In fact, it seems to me that “Solid State” has a fairly long-standing tradition of branching out beyond the stated “ramblings of a musical kind” to cover a wide variety of subjects. Casey liked “House,” I like baseball. Deal with it. Posted July 30 by Dan Bolles

Potential Home for Women’s Rape Crisis Center Hits Legal Snag BY KEN PICARD PHOTO: ANDY DUBACK
2x5-SkiRack080107.indd 1
7/30/07 2:16:53 PM
THE FORMER WOMEN’S HEALTH CENTER ON NORTH AVENUE
BURLINGTON — For more than 20 years, the Women’s Rape Crisis Center has operated as an underground operation of sorts, literally and figuratively. As its name suggests, the WRCC primarily serves female survivors of sexual violence out of a tiny, rented basement in Burlington’s South
2x5-VHFA080107.indd 1

agreed to sell them his house at 336 North Avenue at its assessed value rather than market value — a $40,000 discount — and finance the deal at no interest for two years. In effect, the WRCC would have lower monthly mortgage payments than its current rent. As
Legally, this goes against the grain. But let’s figure out a way to do it, because we can all agree that there’s a need in the community. YVES BRADLEY, POMERLEAU REAL ESTATE
End. The nonprofit, which operates a 24-hour rape crisis hotline and holds individual and group meetings with survivors, doesn’t advertise its location, partly to protect clients’ privacy and safety. But the high-profile rapes and murders of Burlington residents Laura Winterbottom and Michelle Gardner-Quinn in the last two years suggest it’s time Vermont’s biggest city brought the issue of sexual violence into the open. Last spring, it looked as though the stars were all aligning for the WRCC to move into a more visible location. The group received a sizable donation from a generous benefactor. Then Bernie Beaudoin, a 76year-old lifelong Burlingtonian, approached the group with an almost unheard-of offer: He
2x5-VTMozart080107.indd 1
7/30/07 2:40:41 PM
Executive Director Cathleen Wilson puts it, “Bernie kind of fell from the heavens for us.” Moreover, the 3200-squarefoot Victorian offers nearly three times the space of the WRCC’s current quarters, and in a more desirable location — midway between the Burlington Police Department and Burlington High School. As the former home of the Vermont Women’s Health Center, which vacated four years ago, the 108-year-old building retains all the old clinic fixtures and has its own parking lot. Several local businesspeople have donated their services to make this deal happen, including Yves Bradley at Pomerleau Real Estate and Burlington attorneys Jack Bergeron, Jeff Wick and Scott McAllister. But here’s the rub: When
Beaudoin declared the house as a “homestead” on his tax returns, the zoning automatically reverted from its previous status as a “non-conforming commercial” use to “residential low-density.” According to Wick, that designation all but precludes the WRCC from occupying the building. At first glance, the problem seems to have an easy fix: Ask the city to re-zone the land or issue a zoning variance. After all, the lot immediately adjacent to the south is already zoned for commercial use: A new Shell station and convenience store are under construction there. Moreover, according to Wilson, none of the neighbors, including the Catholic Diocese of Vermont directly across the street, has expressed objections to having the rape crisis center as a neighbor. All that’s needed now is some city official who’s willing to pounce on this political football and run with it. However, with city council and the mayor’s office preoccupied with bigger zoning woes — namely, the budget-issue-plagued zoning rewrite — no one has stepped forward to champion this cause. In the meantime, the clock is ticking for the WRCC. Bernie Beaudoin, a retired barber, antiques dealer and property manager, was born just seven doors down from the house he is selling at a drastic discount. His only reservation about his offer is that he might need the

Brattleboro Stunned by Police Use of Tasers on Protesters
'VMM (SPPNJOH JODMVEFT
BY KEN PICARD
BRATTLEBORO — Maybe it was the chili peppers they were planting, or just the hot, humid weather that sent tempers flaring. Either way, Brattleboro Police brought down the heat last week on two protesters who were illegally gardening on private property and refused to obey a police order to leave. Now the heat is on the cops for allegedly using electronic stun guns repeatedly on the greenthumbed guerillas, in an effort to force them to unchain themselves from a barrel. Brattleboro Police Chief John Martin told Seven Days last week that he has launched an internal investigation to determine whether the officers’ use of Tasers on two unarmed and nonviolent protesters was appropriate and
Crowell said. “We kept saying, ‘There are other ways!’� Shortly thereafter, Crowell claims, he was shocked “five or six times� with a Taser; Kilmurray was shocked twice before the couple agreed to unlock themselves and be arrested. Both suffered minor burns on their arms from the incident, Crowell adds, though neither required medical treatment. They were charged and released on their own recognizance under the condition they not return to the property. “Basically, I didn’t want to subject myself anymore to what I thought was torture,� Crowell added. “Five seconds of having this charge go through your body is a long time.

ical assistance or time-consuming decontamination. The Burlington Police Department, which began issuing Tasers to its officers in May 2006, now has nearly 50. The police forces of the University of Vermont, the airport and South Burlington also carry them. According to Burlington Deputy Chief Walt Decker, since their deployment, “Not one hour of lost officer time has occurred involving an officer injury from struggling with a combative subject.� Chief Martin at the Brattleboro P.D. reports a similar success rate. “The injury to officers and the injury to suspects is almost nonexistent compared to years ago when both were frequently injured,� he said.

consistent with the department’s use-of-force policies. Martin declined further comment on the specifics of the case. On Saturday, the town selectboard ordered the police department to stop using Tasers until stun-gun policies and procedures can be reviewed. On July 24, Jonathan “Slugger� Crowell, 32, and his girlfriend, Samantha Kilmurray, 32, both of Dummerston, were arrested and charged with trespassing after the couple spent a night on a vacant lot on Putney Road, not far from exit 3 on Interstate 89. Crowell and Kilmurray were among some 20 activists who planned to stage a three-day vigil or “occupation� of the property. They were protesting the landowner’s intention to build a truck stop and convenience store on the property, which until recently was the site of a defunct bowling alley. According to Crowell, the group wanted to “transform the vacant lot into something the community could actually benefit from,� such as a community garden, playground or low-income housing project. Armed with gardening tools and dozens of plants, including tree saplings, flowers, tomatoes, basil and peppers, the protesters arrived on July 23 and began tilling the soil and planting. The protesters weren’t blocking traffic, impeding construction or preventing access to the land — plans for the truck stop and convenience store haven’t gone through the permitting process yet. Still, the landowner asked the police to evict the demonstrators. Crowell and Kilmurray refused to leave and locked their arms with carabiners inside a metal barrel in an act of civil disobedience. “The police surprised us at 7 a.m. the next day and immediately began intimidating us and threatening us with Tasers,�

totally out of whack.� Tasers are hand-held weapons that deliver a painful, 50,000-volt electrical shock that momentarily disables a subject’s neuromuscular controls. Marketed as “less-thanlethal� weapons that cause no lasting injuries, they have become a weapon of choice among police, corrections officers and even military units. The manufacturer — Taser International of Scottsdale, Arizona — claims that more than 11,000 law enforcement agencies, including more than a dozen in Vermont, now use some form of the technology. Proponents of Tasers and similar electro-stun devices claim they’re a safer alternative to conventional weapons such as batons, mace and pepper spray. Police who use them say they’re especially effective when used against subjects who are armed, delusional and/or under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Departments that deploy them report fewer and less severe injuries to officers, suspects and innocent bystanders. The usual alternatives to Tasers — pepper spray, mace or other chemical irritants — can occasion med-

One irony of last week’s incident is that the Brattleboro P.D. started carrying Tasers in response to criticism it received after the shooting death of an armed and emotionally disturbed suspect nearly six years ago. On December 2, 2001, Robert “Woody� Woodward was killed by two Brattleboro cops after he entered the All Souls Unitarian Universalist Church in Brattleboro, brandished a knife and threatened to kill himself. Following strong public condemnations of the officers’ handling of that incident, several Tasers were donated to the department. But despite Tasers’ popularity in the law enforcement community, the weapons still evoke criticism from human rights and civil liberties groups, which say they are prone to misuse and more dangerous than the company advertises. In 2004, Amnesty International published a detailed report on Taser use and abuse. It claims that since 2001, at least 70 people in the United States and

money for medical care — Beaudoin doesn’t have health insurance. Over the years, Beaudoin has owned several properties in Burlington, including the two on Bank Street that later became the Single Pebble restaurant. None, however, has a history to rival the one at 336 North Avenue. On a recent Thursday morning, Beaudoin gave Seven Days a tour of the house, which for decades housed the Vermont Women’s Health Center. “They called it that,” Beaudoin says, “but really it was an abortion clinic.” As Beaudoin opens the back door, it’s immediately obvious the building hasn’t been a home for more than 30 years. It lacks a kitchen and a full bathroom. Most of the rooms still retain a clinical, examinationroom décor, with small sinks and sterile-looking, overhead fluorescent lights. Beaudoin rarely slept there, staying instead at the home of an elderly aunt who suffered from frequent panic attacks. One closet-size room looks like it was once a drug dispensary; another, a supply closet. Only the westfacing rooms, with their large bay windows, wood molding and wainscoting, look anything like bedrooms. “I only slept here a dozen times in four years,” Beaudoin says. “I didn’t do nothing to this place.” I ask Beaudoin if it bothers him what the house was once used for. “Well, it ain’t the building’s fault. It’s the fault of the people,” he says. “It ain’t the building that’s going to hell.” Back in the 1970s, the Vermont Women’s Health Center was a national focal point for anti-abortion protests. The clinic first opened its doors in Colchester in 1972, a year before the landmark U.S. Supreme Court case Roe v. Wade legalized abortion. In 1977, following a fire at the health center’s downtown location, the clinic moved into 336 North Avenue. According to Nancy Sabin, the previous owner, “The realtor was so against abortion that she wouldn’t dare call us.” Sabin not only sold to the organization, she told the realtor on the day of the closing she’d write a check to the center for $3000. “It blew her mind,” Sabin recalls. Rachel Atkins, who until last week worked at Planned Parenthood of Northern New England, joined the Women’s Health Center in the mid-1970s; the two organizations merged in 2000. She recalls protesters from Operation Rescue and Vermont Save-A-Baby

Canada have died after being “tased.” While some of those deaths had complicating factors, such as underlying heart conditions and drug intoxication, others appear to have been the direct consequence of repeated Taser use — not unlike what happened in Brattleboro last week. Vermont law is largely silent on the training and use of electro-stun guns by police. Generally speaking, departments write their own protocols and conduct their own training for the appropriate use of Tasers.
The Brattleboro Police Department’s use-of-force protocol includes Tasers as one of several non-lethal options that can be used at officers’ discretion, including chemical irritants, batons and bean-bag guns. However, as Martin points out, “There are so many variables that you can’t sit there and draw a matrix of when it can or can’t be used.” That’s part of the problem, notes Allen Gilbert, executive director of the Vermont American Civil Liberties Union. Gilbert believes Tasers should only be used in situations that would otherwise require lethal force. He’s critical of Vermont’s lack of statewide standards for training cops, as well as of standardized requirements for logging Tasers’ use and reviewing their deployment.
»news “invading” the clinic and chaining themselves together in the hallway. One Easter weekend, she remembers, a Molotov cocktail was thrown through the front window. When we left, we were always hoping that the health center would continue to be a nonprofit,” Atkins says. “A nonprofit serving women would be a lovely extension of our time there.” Whether that will happen remains to be seen. Jeff Wick, one of the attorneys who’s handling this case pro bono, says it’s “highly unlikely” the house will qualify for a variance. However, the WRCC could also apply to the Development Review Board for conditional use of the house as a community center. “That seems to be the only avenue of hope under the current ordinance,” Wick surmises. Bradley at Pomerleau Real Estate suggests that the success of this deal may hinge on a political rather than a legal solution — that is, someone in City Hall needs to take up this cause on behalf of the WRCC. “Legally, this goes against the grain,” Bradley admits. “But let’s figure out a way to do it, because we can all agree that there’s a need in the community.” For his part, Mayor Bob Kiss sounds sympathetic but noncommittal. “The issue is pretty clear,” he says. “It’s just whether or not there’s an acceptable way to pursue this . . . From my own perspective, not being a neighbor, it’s a perfect place.” Likewise, City Council President Kurt Wright (RWard 4) admits that the issue is “on our radar screen,” though he can’t offer specifics about what, if anything, the council will do. For her part, Wilson at the WRCC is surprised city officials aren’t taking a more active interest in this relocation. Last year, the WRCC served 602 sexual assault survivors, a 40 percent increase over the last two years alone. Moreover, the Center provided more than 40 free prevention workshops to students at Burlington High, which is within walking distance of the proposed location. Meanwhile, the WRCC struggles with limited space — four offices for 12 employees, with no private consultation rooms for survivors or group sessions. The basement location also has serious mold issues. “It’s frustrating that people are missing the big picture in all this,” Wilson adds. “This isn’t about me getting a nicer-looking office with a window. It’s about the needs of this community.” A city council hearing on the issue is tentatively scheduled for Monday, August 6. �
The Brattleboro P.D. does log every time a Taser is “used” — meaning any time an officer displays the weapon, regardless of whether it’s fired — and the department conducts a review of the use of all weapons, Martin notes. Brattleboro cops “use” Tasers about once per month, he added, a rate similar to that reported by Burlington police. But Gilbert doubts Tasers are as safe as the company claims, citing the number of deaths associated with their use and the growing number of lawsuits against municipalities where police carry them. He points to a $10,000 judgment awarded last year to two men in St. Johnsbury, who won an excessive-force case against police. Other municipalities could face similar or even higher liabilities from the use of Tasers if the weapons aren’t regulated statewide. The legal issues could become still more complicated since Taser International released a less expensive, consumer model that’s specifically marketed to women as a defensive weapon. The “C2” model, which sells for $350, comes in a variety of colors and is small enough to be carried in a purse. Part of last week’s incident was captured on videotape and posted on YouTube, showing Crowell getting “tased.” Gilbert says he isn’t sure why police resorted to such extreme measures when the protesters were nonviolent and not a threat to themselves or others. “You see four officers standing over this guy chained to a barrel and say, ‘There’s something wrong with this picture,’” Gilbert says. “It’s just bizarre to think that they had to bring out the stun gun and shoot the guy at point-blank range.” �

Sex and the Governor’s Race
P
MATT DUNNE
ractically all Vermont Democrats of any statewide note have already portrayed their chances of running for governor in 2008 as somewhere between “very unlikely” and “no way in hell.” Their reasons have varied: Some acknowledge that three-term incumbent Republican Jim Douglas simply can’t be beat; others publicly admit to a lack of interest, as Senate President Pro Tem Peter Shumlin did when he told Terri Hallenbeck of The Burlington Free Press, “I don’t have the ambition I used to.”
Can’t wait to see how Mr. Ambitionless plays out the second half of the legislative biennium, eh? Shummy’s even been floating a story about drafting the colorful, maverick GOP State Sen. Vince Illuzzi as an Independent gubernatorial candidate, whom he promises would get Democratic Party support! Sen. Illuzzi, son of a Barre stone carver, a St. Mike’s grad, Essex County State’s Attorney and living legend, would certainly make a great candidate. Especially for political reporters. But even Vince the Prince would have a near impossible task taking down the popular, smart, middleof-the-road Middlebury marvel. After all, Douglas just beat back two big override attempts by “majority” Democrats of his vetoes of global warming and campaign finance reform. Gov. Scissorhands is looking good. Word is, another term — and then . . . a college presidency? President Douglas at last! So who’s left? Someone with the talent, brains and passion to actually upset King James? Only one name comes to mind. Matt Dunne, 37, of Hartland has sorta been there and done that. Native Vermonter. His mom’s from Newport, Vermont. Father was a civil-rights activist in the South in the early 1960s. Like Gentleman Jim Douglas [a Richard Nixon supporter back then], Dunne picked up a seat in the Vermont House shortly after graduating Brown University. President Bill Clinton tapped him to run AmeriCorps/VISTA

in December 1999. Young Matt returned to Vermont a few years later and served Bekka Burton two terms in the state senate. He also ran for lieutenant governor in 2006. Dunne assured “Inside Track” in a www.paulinescafe.com Tuesday interview that he is giving serious consideration to a gubernatorial bid. for current menus That there are many, many variables, including his latest big job — handling community affairs for an ever-expanding Google — and a new family, Dunne says, that “will go into my decision, but 2x5-paulines080107.indd 1 7/27/07 3:22:03 PM fear of losing is not one of them.” Well said, eh? This week, as you know, folks of every political stripe have been shaking their heads about the surprise launching of a new Gay Marriage Study Commission by Sen. Shumlin and sidekick Gaye Symington, the policy-wonkish House Speaker. After seven years of civil unions, things have been pretty quiet. For most Democrats and Progs, as well as many Republicans, the head-shaking bewilderment has been about timing rather than substance. Many on the left and in the middle see this as adding extra fuel to the Douglas/Dubie reelection train and firing up Vermont’s Bush-friendly conservative Republicans in what ought to be a tough year for Republicans. But Matt Dunne is not worried. “I will campaign on an issue of defending and pursuing civil rights in our state any day,” said Dunne the Democrat. “As long as we don’t have parity, we have not achieved civil rights.” In fact, Dunne noted he first publicly supported marriage rights for same-sex couples way back in 1996 — three years before the Vermont Supreme Court did, in December 1999. The Vermont Legislature led the nation into uncharted territory over 6/25/07 10:55:25 AM those following hard-fought months of 2x5-Leunigs062707.indd 1 2000, writing the historic new civilunions bill.

the House Judiciary Committee that wrote the civil-unions bill in 2000. He was in the eye of the storm, literally. And Little said on Ch. 3’s “You Can Quote Me” he doesn’t expect Storm II to be quite as tumultuous as Storm I. “I think that the emotional content will be largely the same, but with fewer spikes in it,” said Little. “I mean, I think it’ll be the same emotional, psychological, religious, spiritual issues involved, but not as much shouting. Not as much noise.” Pause. “I could be wrong about that,” he added. Dunne, the last gubernatorial candidate in the Democrat bullpen with a fighting chance, recalled the civil-unions fight of 2000 as “a difficult and ugly time.” Yes, indeed. But freedom always comes with a price, does it not? The success of what happened in Vermont, noted Dunne, “led to change across the country.” Dunne vs. Douglas? Hmmm. Great Movie! — Nothing like a well-done Washington thriller. Topnotch actors. And a wild plot about how racist voter challenges, a stolen election, a rigged U.S. Supreme Court that blocks the recount and a trumped-up red-whiteand-blue war are launched against a tiny desert regime on the other side of the world. A regime that was in no way, shape or form a threat to the most powerful nation on Earth! See the USA in your Chevrolet! Got to get the gasoline somewhere, right? Greed is good! Now, that’s a movie plot that’ll sell tickets, eh? Already has, hasn’t it? Unfortunately, it is not a movie, and hundreds of thousands of mostly civilian, defenseless people have been killed and maimed in the process.

Is asthma keeping you from having a full life? Help us find future treatments for asthma. We are conducting a clinical research study for people with persistent asthma who are having symptoms, like wheezing, coughing and/or trouble breathing, despite taking inhaled corticosteroids (ICS), such as Flovent®* (fluticasone propionate), Pulmicort®* (budesonide), etc. This study will test the safety, effectiveness and tolerability of an investigational asthma medication given by a monthly injection. You may be able to participate in this study if you: • Are 18-70 years old • Have received a diagnosis of asthma with daily to weekly symptoms and/or frequent night-time awakenings. • Have been treated with a medium to high dose of ICS for at least the last 2 months and have not had your ICS dose changed in the last 2 weeks Study staff will review additional requirements with you to determine eligibility. Qualified participants will make 17 study visits during about 36 weeks of study participation. All study-related medical exams, laboratory tests, and study medication will be provided to qualified participants at no cost.

St. Johnsbury’s Athenaeum is offering the perfect art history course for the busy modern student. It’s free and it’s slow — one painting at a time, on view for an entire week. Oh, and it’s online, so you’ll have no problem checking in after the kiddies have gone to bed. “This Week from the Gallery� is a new feature on the website — www.stjathenaeum. org — of this Northeast Kingdom treasure. The Athenaeum was founded by industrialist Horace Fairbanks, and its post-Civil War architecture alone is worth a visit — in person, not virtual. But inside this combination library and gallery resides an astonishing collection of 19th-century American paintings and sculpture. The most spectacular is Albert Bierstadt’s “The Domes of the Yosemite� — the 116-by-180inch painting faces viewers as they enter the gallery. In 2005, the Athenaeum published a paperback, Handbook of the Art Collection, with text by Mark D. Mitchell. Mitchell, who’s assistant curator of 19th-century art at New York’s National Academy Museum, also penned the descriptions of the weekly works

On view last week: “Fishing,� a 17-by-14-inch oil painting by Worthington Whittredge (1820-1910). Mitchell writes that the 1868-70 image of two men fishing in a peaceful forest “portrays a return to

At Burlington College, Home Movies Get a Special Showing BY MARGOT HARRISON
Anyone who’s found old homemovie reels in a drawer or closet — and figured out how to project them — can attest to their fascination. Once records of private life, now these pre-You Tube, even pre-VHS artifacts appeal to us as pieces of our collective history. This Saturday at Burlington College, community members will get a chance to show these treasures to the public — as well as advice on how to keep them from deteriorating. This is the third year the college has hosted Home Movie Day, an event that began in 2003 and spread from major cities to venues all over the world. Touted by filmmakers such as Martin Scorsese and John Waters, it has a simple aim: to give “people who have 8mm, Super 8mm, or 16mm films the opportunity to receive free on-site inspection of the films and information on how best to preserve them,� according to a press release. After a preservation clinic from 9 a.m. to noon, possessors of old reels will get a chance to show them from 1 to 4 p.m. Gemma Perretta, a film conservator and adjunct prof at Burlington College, is leading the workshop for the first time this year. She says its focus is on “getting the film out of the closet.� Because Vermont has no historical archive devoted to film —

yet — Perretta recommends people send their reels to the Northeast Historical Film Archive in Maine, or to New York for a transfer to video. What she doesn’t suggest is a trip to the convenience store for that purpose, “although the local photo store can often offer archival-quality
and Film Production at Burlington College, says the screenings at past Home Movie Days were “full of surprises. We have seen remarkable things, from sorority life at the University of Vermont in the ’40s to Bob Hope entertaining the troops in Guam after the war.�
We now have the capability in the 21st century of looking back. We have these images from our culture, and that’s really exciting. GEMMA PERRETTA
transfers.� At the very least, old film stock belongs in “acid-free boxes in a cool, dry place.� Over the past few decades, prominent filmmakers have called for the preservation and restoration of classic films, whose master prints quickly decay when stored carelessly. Why take the same care with amateur creations? Perretta says home movies represent the history of a community: “We now have the capability in the 21st century of looking back. We have these images from our culture, and that’s really exciting.� Barry Snyder, chair of the Department of Cinema Studies
This year, Perretta says, the program already includes “films from the Lake Placid areaâ€? — contributed by Lake Placid Film Forum director Kathleen Carroll — “a 25th anniversary from 1957, a bar mitzvah from 1958, [and] a wonderful amateur film made by a father for his son from 1954.â€? The public is welcome at the afternoon screening — and yes, there will be popcorn. ďż˝
Howe Library in Hanover, N.H., screens films at its own Home Movie Day on Saturday, August 11, 1-4 p.m., with film inspections to follow in October. For info, see www.homemovieday.com.

The rural mailbox is a study in contrasts. On the one hand, it’s a personal postal sanctuary fiercely protected by the federal government. On the other, provided the “current resident� owns it, a mailbox can also be a means of selfexpression. Along Vermont roadsides, it’s not unusual to see Audubon scenes, American flags and Warren Kimble creations mingling with the standard black, slushy silver, or rusty-red metal loafs. Kelly O’Brien is taking the mailbox medium one step further: In Huntington, the 38-year-old unemployed carpet saleswoman is turning postal regulation into public art. In the last two months, she’s transformed about 30 drab mailboxes around town into colorful creations. A red mailbox with blue polka dots and funky yellow lettering stands out on the Main Road into Huntington. Further down, a cluster of four cheerily painted boxes makes a statement at the intersection of Blackbird Swale. One of the lids is a landscape that looks like the surrounding area. Is that Camel’s Hump? In arched cursive letters it reads, “Our Road Leads to Heaven.� O’Brien and her husband Joe live with two cats on a beautiful wedge of land at the corner of Mayo Road and the busy route between Richmond and Huntington. Former flight attendants who met on the job in Chicago, they built their own house — it’ll be 2 years old this fall — and co-own Film Buzz, Richmond’s premier video store. The shop’s mosaic countertop is one of Kelly’s art “projects.� Dozens of others — a whimsical tricycle totem, rusty sculptures, handmade bird boxes, self-portraits in oil — spill out of the house onto the wrap-around porch and into the yard. It was only a matter of time before O’Brien got to the family mailbox. Last summer she painted the supporting post a brightblue hue. For the box itself, she
went for earthy sienna adorned with bright blue and green bull’seyes. When it was done, she envisioned having her way with every other postal receptacle on the street, so “all the mailboxes would be as pretty as the road.� And, she figured, “I thought it would be a cool way to meet the neighbors.� To get the word out, ironically, she resorted to electronic mail.

don’t come from her, she claims. “The boxes tell me what they want.� They also tell her what they want to be called, O’Brien asserts. In the last month, she’s started signing her works and giving them descriptive names like “Fern Splatter� and “Drip Quints.� The former, surrounded by lush vegetation on Taft Road, is sky-blue, drizzled Jackson Pollock-style

Once I stopped wondering if people were going to like it or not, I started actually having fun. KELLY O’BRIEN
posted a message on Front Porch Forum, the neighborhood email listserv that is building community connections all over Chittenden County, including in Huntington. “Hi, All — I’d like to paint your mailbox!� O’Brien enthused in her initial communication with her town’s Front Porch members. “You’d be helping me out by letting me paint and take photos for my portfolio . . . and you’ll benefit by getting a one-of-a-kind mailbox.� She added, “If you hate it, I can repaint it to the original black, gray or white.� About a dozen people responded, and O’Brien went to work — on location. Before she starts to paint, she takes a picture of the mailbox with her cellphone — in case it has to be restored to its original condition — then cleans it, sands it, and peels off any stickers. The whole process usually takes a couple of hours. Initially, O’Brien felt compelled to interview the mailbox owners about their favorite colors and animals and their personal styles. But “It messed me up,� she says. “I found myself not wanting to do those people’s boxes . . . Once I stopped wondering if people were going to like it or not, I started actually having fun.� Design ideas
with green and yellow paint. The latter is a bank of five boxes, each with a different drippy color combination. O’Brien isn’t aiming to make money from her mailbox art. But the experience has helped her better understand how she works. An art class at CCV helped, too. The product of a Kansas City cop and a “creative and crazyâ€? mother, O’Brien is a self-described “people pleaserâ€? who admits she dislikes authority. The contradictory qualities of a mailbox — it’s private and public, restricted and personalized — seem ideally suited to her unique psychology. “I like that they’re all the same shape; they’re all identical,â€? she says. At the same time, “it’s not a box . . . It’s one big, blank canvas that wraps around.â€? Although she says she always gets permission to paint, and never looks at people’s mail, O’Brien seems to enjoy the subversive aspect of the activity. Her dream? Painting peace signs on the front of every mailbox in Huntington. “I wouldn’t want to offend people, but it would be a great way to say, ‘Vermont says no to this administration.’ That would make me so happy, I’d pee my pants.â€? ďż˝

This Could Never Happen Here Britain’s Office of Communications fined two television networks for faking the winners of broadcast contests. The larger fine, $600,000, went to Channel Five, whose “Brainteaser� quiz show charged viewers $1.50 to use a special phone line to solve a word puzzle on screen. When callers failed to get the right answer, names of fictional winners were listed on screen. On at least one occasion, a member of the production crew went on air pretending to be a “winning contestant.� In the second case, the BBC children’s show “Blue Peter� drew a $100,000 fine for using a studio guest to pose as the winner of a phone-in contest. Producers insisted they used the guest only after a technical problem made it impossible for viewers to call.

When you obtain a mortgage to purchase a home, the lender will require that you show that you have prepaid for one year of homeowner’s insurance. In the past, insurance companies could provide such a policy on short notice. In today’s market obtaining the appropriate coverage can take days, or even weeks. Advanced planning for this insurance requirement allows you to shop around for the best rate as well as the coverage that best suits your needs. Finding a good insurance agent is important. Work with a firm that has served you well in the past, or ask your friends, co-workers and family for a referral. Your mortgage officer or Realtor can also refer you to agents that they have worked with in the past. When shopping for the best policy, compare rates but be mindful of the total package. Often the difference in price is insignificant when compared to having the correct coverage along with prompt local service.

all worthwhile human knowledge
Dear Cecil, I was watching an episode of “Nature” on PBS about sea turtles, and at one point the narrator mentioned vast deposits of methane at the bottom of the ocean in solid form. Then he gave some vague warning that the warming oceans may unleash all this methane into the atmosphere. What’s the straight dope on methane lurking beneath the sea? Will it give us an energy-independent utopia or burn us all to a crisp? Ndevir, via email Right now I’d say things could go either way. That’s what makes living in the 21st century fun. What we’re talking about are the strange crystals called methane hydrates, in which molecules of methane (the main component of natural gas) are trapped inside tiny cages of ice. The result is an icelike substance that contains up to 15 percent methane by volume. First observed in the 1800s, methane hydrates were initially regarded mainly as a nuisance that formed in cold natural-gas pipelines. In 1964, however, a Siberian gas rig discovered a large methane hydrate deposit underground, spurring research on whether such deposits could be a good source of natural gas. Deep-sea exploration turned up even greater deposits in the oceans, and with the rise of natural-gas prices and the push to reduce carbon dioxide emissions, methane hydrates are now getting serious attention in the energy industry. Although it’s still a fossil fuel, methane when burned releases much less carbon dioxide than coal or oil per unit of heat. What’s more, using technology already in hand, we can strip the carbon out of methane and produce hydrogen, which burns without releasing any carbon dioxide at all. (Granted, the stripping process produces some CO2, so we’d have to figure a way to sequester that.) How much methane is locked in hydrates is uncertain, but researchers from British Petroleum and Texas A&M estimate world underwater reserves at 35 to 177 quadrillion cubic feet. Given that proven world reserves of conventional natural gas amount to just 6 quadrillion cubic feet, even at the low end of the range we’re talking about a lot of gas. Just a couple problems. The first is that no one has figured out how to extract hydrated methane economically, although several countries have research efforts under way. The second is that while methane hydrate is stable as long as it’s kept cold and under pressure, vast amounts of methane could be suddenly released into the atmosphere under certain circumstances — for example, if a rise in sea temperature
due to, say, global warming caused shallow deposits of methane hydrate to melt. We don’t want that to happen, because methane is a potent greenhouse gas. Some believe a methane hydrate release 251 million years ago contributed to the Permian extinction, the largest mass die-off in earth’s history, when perhaps 95 percent of all species on the planet were wiped out. And the Late Paleocene Thermal Maximum — a severe temperature spike, possibly triggered by a Caribbean volcanic eruption or even a comet impact, that coincided with another mass extinction 55 million years ago — may have been compounded by a similar release of undersea 2x3-Danform080107.indd 1 methane. Yet another concern with methane hydrates is the danger of massive underwater landslides. When methane hydrate is mixed with sediment on the ocean floor, it prevents the sediment from solidifying properly and leads to instability. Undersea slides are dangerous for two reasons: they can release methane into the atmosphere, already established as a bad thing, and they can cause tsunamis. Methane hydrates may have been behind the Storegga landslide under the North Sea 8000 years ago that sent a 13-foot tsunami crashing into the coast of Scotland. Scars from underwater slumps along the coasts of the United States are suspected to be the result of dips in sea level disturbing hydrate-rich sediment 20,000 years back. There’s not much we can do about naturally occurring landslides, but a few people think that messing with the hydrates via mining is asking for trouble in the form of tsunamis, seafloor subsidence, and damage to underwater cables. There’s also the environmental impact to consider. In 1997 scientists found centipedelike critters living in hydrate deposits in the Gulf of Mexico, so get ready for the Greenpeace campaign to save the ice worms. Other problems arising from a methane release can be faintly comical but still hazardous. Ever been embarrassed as a kid when bubbles in the bathtub revealed you’d let one go? Scale that up a few orders of magnitude and embarrassment would be the least of your worries. While tales of gas bubbles in the Black Sea upending ships and drilling rigs are surely apocryphal, in 2000 a sunken fishing trawler was found at the center of a huge gas eruption site in the North Sea. (Yes, I thought of the Bermuda Triangle too.) You may not have heard much about methane hydrate before now, but odds are you will.

LATE IS NOT FASHIONABLE I have a complaint to share with Seven Days regarding Dan Bolles and Casey Rae-Hunter. In the last month, both writers have referred to missing all or part of a show due to their own “fashionable lateness.” This strikes me as disrespectful of bands, readers and you, their employer. What does it say about the editorial rigor of Seven Days as a whole that these writers are so comfortable admitting in print that they take a half-assed, cavalier approach to their jobs? Do your ad sales reps employ similarly fashionable lateness in their client meetings? How about your investigative reporters? Are you similarly tolerant if your office receptionist takes a casual, “if-Ifeel-like-it” attitude toward his or her work schedule? As a band member, I feel assured that I won’t get a fair shake, though I might merit some good press if I attract the attention 2:58:08 PM of fashionable locals. As a reader, I’m now second-guessing anything these two write, because I feel they lack integrity. A critic concerned with his placement on the local totem pole is so compromised as to be utterly without merit. I urge you to explore alternatives to these sinecures. How about using only volunteer writers who are motivated by genuine enthusiasm for music? Or how about printing a few press releases verbatim each week instead of squandering a salary and benefits on a musiceditor who merely quotes them? Sasha Rodriguez

TRIMBLE TRIPE For God’s sake, Freyne, what were you thinking of, lauding David Trimble as a warrior for peace [“Inside Track,” July 25]? Your father would turn in his grave. I’ll save myself the apoplexy generated by most of your article and limit my outrage to Trimble’s remarks concerning the Republic of Ireland, in which he says, “Unfortunately, we have some people in the British Isles who’ve been determined to say they’re different and separate . . . they now form a separate state called the ‘Irish Republic.’ . . . I think they’ve made a mistake . . .” Would those people in the “British Isles” to whom he’s referring be the Irish? Would that “separate state” be the independent nation of Ireland? Last time I checked, it was a different country, separated by a lot more than the Irish Sea. I don’t think the citizens of Ireland, one of the most prosperous countries in the EU, incidentally, feel like they’ve made a mistake in winning their hardfought independence from the subjugation, genocide and tyranny that the Brits do so well. Perhaps you could have taken your cue from the fact that the man is proud to call himself British, despite the fact that he was born and raised in Ireland, albeit in the Protestant-dominated North where men like Trimble fought to preserve their “Protestant country for a Protestant people” on the
backs of the disenfranchised and desperate Catholic minority. I’m shocked and disappointed that you would let remarks such as these go unchallenged. I expected better from you and Seven Days. Eileen Cleland BURLINGTON
EAT THIS Most of the statements concerning the food we eat in Alice Levitt’s article “Guilt-Free Food” [July 25] are asinine. “Stringy free-range chicken?” Did you grow up in a Third World country? Because all the free-range chicken we have eaten and raised were fat, juicy and tasty. “Organic produce can seem like eating a moth-chewed sweater.” Where do you shop for organic produce — Hannaford? Because Healthy Living’s produce is great . . . A better idea: Grow some of your own. “Earth-friendly doesn’t improve the experience.” I disagree. Our food that we grow or make conscious decisions about has energy and what we like to call soul. We do love good, healthy food. We also do try to eat with the seasons; it just makes sense to us, and those big “sexy” blueberries in winter — yep, they came from Willow Hill organic farm — we picked ’em, bagged ’em and froze them ourselves. The strawberries and apples, too, not to mention the green beans, peas, Brussel sprouts, pumpkin, kale, chard, tomatoes, potatoes, onions, carrots, garlic and peppers and pickles that we grow ourselves or pick locally while in season so we can enjoy them through the long winter. I do agree people should know and teach their children where their meat comes from, but you should also care how the animal was raised and slaughtered. Even if you just want to think in terms of nutrition, an animal that is raised with access to green grass or other natural foods (I know not all “free-range” has this, but ours do), fresh air, sunshine . . . will make a healthier and tastier meal than, say, an animal raised in a tiny cage, tied in a barn. We as humans may be at the top of the food chain and we do eat animals, but we should remember they are living, breathing, feeling beings with an energy all their own. I believe if we are going to eat them, then they deserve our respect, and letting them live as natural a life as possible while they are in our care is the right thing to do. Do you want them to live a miserable life to ease your own conscience when you eat them, Alice? I feel OK when we tried raising some “meat birds.” We raised them to eat — that never left my mind — but they ate grass and bugs daily, enjoyed milk from our organic cow and chowed on local organic grain. When the time came, they were handled gently and quietly, and they are delicious! So tonight, when we sit down to a dinner that is either grown by us or bought locally, we’ll think of you with your food from California, Argentina or some other far-away place on the globe. We’ll also ponder the energy and people it
took to get it onto that plate of yours . . . Kelly Quenneville HUNTINGTON
FINAL CUT? As an addendum to the recent litany on the ongoing “wrongness” of music guy Dan Bolles . . . His source, Diane Podolak, publicist for the Allegro Group and quoted in Seven Days [Letters, July 4]) is just wrong on the facts. Not only is Lee “Scratch” Perry (while a monster of the dub genre and one of my favorite crazy people) not the inventor of record “scratching,” he is not the inventor of DUB! That distinction is generally attributed (on and off island) to King Tubby, if anybody. As to Mr. Perry and his publicist claiming Mr. Perry invented reggae music, well, I’ll just let the weight of that claim speak to its own credibility. Mr. Bolles might want to clue into little statements like these when weighing the accuracy of a source. Bennett Shapiro MIDDLESEX
CORRECTIONS Last week in our report on the Vermont Council on Rural Development’s creative economy conference [“State of the Arts,” July 25], we referred to compelling remarks made by John Casella. In fact, that was Casella VP Joe Fusco on the panel, filling in for his boss. Our apologies for the mistaken identity. The phone number for Pulcinella’s restaurant in South Burlington was incorrect in last week’s “Taste Test.” The correct number is 8631000. In our story about Jamaican workers at the Basin Harbor Club, we misspelled the owner’s name: It’s Pennie — not Penny — Beach. In our effort to fix an error in our “Undercover Campus?” story from July 18, we perpetuated it in last week’s “correction.” The story’s subject, Joe Phillips, is in his second summer at the Middlebury College language schools — not his third.

Biggest Picture An exhibit pays tribute to visionary artist Wes Disney
T
he late Vermont artist Wes Disney did only one major public-art project in his lifetime, but it was a doozy. Called simply “A Wall,” the photographic installation covered the southern side of what STORY was in 1981 the J.C. Penney building PAMELA — now Borders — at the corner of POLSTON Church and Cherry streets in Burlington. It was more than 143 feet IMAGES long and 38 feet high, and its surface MATTHEW comprised 35,000 bricks. Disney’s THORSEN vision, funded by the fledgling Church & Street Marketplace Commission, was to WES cover this expanse with the black-andDISNEY white image of a road cut from Three Mile Hill, off I-89 near Montpelier. As “Wes Disney: one friend puts it, “Wes went to the A Retrospective,” mountain and brought the mountain photographs, back to Burlington.” watercolor and The 24 4x5 negatives of that rock ink drawings.

Others complained that a viewer could not get sufficiently far away from the semi-abstracted image to make out what it was. According to
some who worked on the piece, Disney hoped people across the street might meditate on the mountain while waiting for the bus. Documentation of the project in all its erstwhile glory is the centerpiece of a new exhibit, “Wes Disney: A Retrospective,” at the city’s Firehouse Gallery. The opening reception last Friday occasioned a poignant reunion for a number of friends and relatives.
Wall Workers - where are they now? While other volunteers came and went, the following 17 people were present for “the scaffolding photo.” Some of the participants are now deceased, and a few transients have faded from local memory, but this is the roster as best we could determine. Top row, from left: Eli Richbourg: son of Lance Richbourg, 11 years old at the time; television producer and scriptwriter, now in New Orleans. Bud Lawrence: poet, Charlotte.

Bottom row, from left: Marion Ettlinger: literary photographer, New York City. Fran Stoddard: media producer on radio and television, Williston.

(Man far right): unknown, thought to be student of Disney’s from North Dakota.
UNTITLED PHOTOGRAPH BY WES DISNEY
Among them were some of the original workers on “A Wall,” who recalled their fellowship on the job and at after-work dinners or salons at Disney’s College Street apartment. “It was intense and dynamic and fun and complicated,” says Marion Ettlinger, who at the time was Disney’s girlfriend and is now a renowned literary photographer based in New York City. Her role, she admits, was mainly providing “a chick retreat” for the women on the project. “I don’t think I ever wore a hard hat,” Ettlinger admits. “But I was involved in the process from the inception. Wes and I used to take
these drives and he would take out the tripod and shoot rock face.” The old friends reminisced, too, about the participants who were not there. One of those, of course, was Disney himself, who was 54 when he died from melanoma in 2000. But the maverick spirit of the artist seemed to loiter in the gallery like a mischievous, but benevolent, ghost. His friends surmise that this exhibition — a resurrection of sorts — would have delighted him. “Wes Disney: A Retrospective” was curator Ruth Erickson’s final contribution to the Firehouse; in fact, the day of

the reception was her last before she headed off to graduate school in Philadelphia. Her commentary on the show appears in its announcement card, as well as in text affixed to the gallery walls. “Wes Disney came of age artistically during a fertile period in American photography,” Erickson writes. “His approach in the early 1970s was characterized by an exploratory impulse in which the camera was seen as a divining tool for self-discovery as well as a way to explore meaning in the external world.” The contents of the show are just a fraction of the “multiple thousands” of images and artifacts Disney left behind, says Janie Cohen. In fact, he left them to her, along with his somewhat ramshackle — but aesthetically charming — cabin near Lewis Creek in Charlotte. The director of the University of Vermont’s Fleming Museum was a close friend who had a unique artistic collegiality with Disney. “Janie ‘got’ Wes and he knew it,” explains another old friend and fellow photographer, Roger Haile. In town for the exhibit’s opening, Haile now lives near Chapel Hill, North Carolina. “I never met Janie until Wes was in hospice,” he adds, “but whenever I talked to him he mentioned this very interesting relationship he had to her.” Haile believes Cohen is the perfect “executor” of his artistic estate. “What Janie has done has essentially been the vehicle for maintaining Wes’ presence in a way that is not often the case,” he says. “When people

die the pieces often get taken apart and divided up.” Disney’s family thought leaving his possessions to Cohen “was the best decision Wes ever made,” Haile adds. “Here she is with a sensibility, and sensitivity, to work that she is in charge of. And then she took the initiative to create this trust.” Haile is referring to the WED Art Trust. Cohen established it, she says, “to disseminate Wes’ artwork for the benefit of his artistic legacy and the benefit of the public.” She is adamant that the trust, whose directors include Haile, another close friend and Disney’s niece, actually own the work and remain collectively responsible for its fate. Cohen suggests that might include other exhibitions, loans and sales to private collectors. “There’s no money in the trust, just the artwork,” she says. “But if there are some funds in the future, from a sale or whatever, the trust might be able to give small grants to other artists with Wes’ vision to produce their work.” What is that vision? “It could be interpreted in many ways,” suggests Cohen. “I wouldn’t call it a particular aesthetic, but Wes had a very strong vision of the role of the artist in society.

lowed his inspiration and his belief of how it was necessary for an artist to live to make his work.” And Disney’s photographs are, Cohen muses, “very beautiful work.” “Wes Disney: A Retrospective” is arranged according to several themes or eras of the artist’s life. The “Wall” section, in the back gallery, features a partly unfurled strip of the infamous Xerox “wallpaper,” as well as the original permit Disney obtained from the city council to “occupy sidewalk,” dated September 3, 1981. In accompanying text, Jim McGinnis — a close friend and “Wall” volunteer — hints at Disney’s love of nature in general and geology in particular: “My guess is that the texture of the surface of the rock cut was, for Wes, a metaphor of what might lie within the rock.” Here, too, is the much-talkedabout “scaffolding photo,” for which Disney and 16 volunteers posed (see sidebar) on three tiers. The photographer of this image is unknown. Disney’s own photographs line the front gallery — Burlington’s Light-Works printed the ones marked “posthumous.” Despite the social and historical interest of the “Wall” project, these black-and-white images ultimately define Disney’s artistic legacy. The technical skill evident in the mostly untitled works is so impressive as to be almost casual: the richness of tone, the detailed compositions, the interplay of focus and blur. And then, of course, there is the subject matter Disney chose to capture with his ever-present Nikon. The photographs selected for this exhibit indicate a shifting visual interest over time. The 1970s images focus on the natural world and illustrate Disney’s dedication to “finding deepened meaning in simplified forms,” reads the text. One photo depicts a rock among reeds in water; each element appears to be in motion. This image, Cohen points out, was

chosen for inclusion in a 1972 exhibition of mid-20th-century American photographers called “Octave of Prayer” and in a publication of the same name, with text by celebrated photographer Minor White. Cohen suggests the picture is one of Disney’s most important: It is one of two being reprinted for sale, which will benefit the trust. Another compelling image in the Firehouse show further exemplifies Disney’s interest in grasses. Though frozen in time and presented in two-dimensional black and white, this sea of undulating grain is sensual and almost hypnotic. Several photos were taken on Disney’s beloved Charlotte property; others depict the Southwest, whose austere beauty fascinated him. His approach to the world around him is summarized in a quote from one of his journals: “To perceive creatively is to see everything for what else it might be. To behave creatively is to act on these insights.” In a rare titled piece, “Twin Oaks,” 25 separate images of trees are presented, unframed, in an overlapping arrangement — three rows of three over four rows of four. Though Disney’s original prints have been lost, he made this reproduction possible by documenting the work in miniature, along with other unique “collage” approaches. Another is a vertical self-portrait, in which Disney stands against a brick wall on what appears to be the roof of his apartment on College Street. He gazes directly at the camera with a characteristic expression — both intense and bemused. He later turned his lens to social subjects as well, seen here in straightforward portraits or intimate scenes of meals shared with friends. In one of Disney’s most intriguing “people” images, though, the human subject is averted from the camera. Squatting in what appears to be an urban plaza, the figure is painting a perfect white circle around himself on the concrete. “The man in the circle was a street performer in New York
City,” explains Cohen. But the real focus of Disney’s attention may have been the circle itself — it was a subject he “turned to again and again,” she says. The trust is also offering prints of this photograph for sale. The third section of Disney’s retrospective displays his ink and watercolor drawings from the 1980s — cyclone-quick scrawls of brushwork on large sheets of paper. He turned to drawing in his later years, frequently using habitués of his corner hangout, Leunig’s Bistro, for his models. Most of the subjects are unrecognizable — here, unlike in his photographs, Disney didn’t make realism his goal. In accompanying text, Jim McGinniss recalls: “He gathered sticks and fashioned brushes out of them — sticks and lengths of jute twine — and began a series of brush paintings that approximated the speed of utterance. This was an extension of the photographs he had completed years before.” It was as if, Roger Haile suggests, Disney wanted to execute his paintings in roughly the time it took to click a camera. In fact, the artist’s journal reveals his models “stood for about half an hour.” Disney’s ink gestures are quicker still: violent, calligraphic slashes of matte black. With the hindsight of a retrospective, it is easy to imagine that Disney’s aesthetic instincts took on this urgency because he knew, at some deep level, there was not much time left. Several short videos set up for viewing at the Firehouse document Wes Disney in the early ’80s. This footage is precious to those who knew and loved him. For those who didn’t, and for future generations, the videos provide a rare opportunity to see and hear a gifted artist, with face tanned and blue eyes blazing, when he was vital, articulate and passionate about the works that now hang on the gallery walls. “The alchemical photographer seeks to find spirit in matter,” Disney once wrote in his journal. “I wish to portray that everything is alive.” �

WORKIN’ ON THE
RAILROAD
d “Vermont Has Passenger Rail!” A headline like that probably appeared on June 26, 1848, when the first passenger train embarked from Windsor for White River Junction and Bethel. But the simple, declarative statement is just as powerful today. Why? Many people don’t seem to realize that a person can get on a train in Brattleboro and ride it to, say, Randolph on the Vermonter line, which travels between St. Albans and Washington, D.C. Or hop on the Ethan Allen Express, which makes daily trips from Rutland to Penn Station in New York. Vermonters might also be surprised to know that, whether they ride those trains or not, they’re paying for them. In the next few years, the state will spend more on passenger rail than it ever has. The investment is based on the widespread perception that we need transportation alternatives in a world of depleting fossil fuels. But some critics, such as Burlington developer Melinda Moulton, say the Agency of Transportation is a lumbering bureaucracy that needs a kick in the pants. Vermont pays Amtrak $4.1 million a year to provide in-state train service and has since the mid-1990s. That’s when Amtrak decided to discontinue the Montrealer, a train that ran from Washington, D.C., to Montréal; despite generous federal subsidies, the congressionally created company was hemorrhaging money. That move would have left Vermont without intercity passenger rail service. So in 1996, the state contracted to

pay Amtrak to keep the trains going, changing the name of the Montrealer to the Vermonter, and adding the Ethan Allen Express. The one who buys the trains, the logic goes, also gets to name them. That Vermont has to subsidize passenger rail is nothing to be ashamed of. Thirteen other states do it, too, including California, New York and Wisconsin. Cliff
story by Kirk Kardashian venting passengers from bringing their bikes on the train. Barb Walsh, co-owner of the Brattleboro Bike Shop, says she was acutely aware of that deficiency: Before the change, many of her customers would ride their bikes down to Amherst or Northampton, Massachusetts, and take the train back. The no-bikes rule also discourages tourists who want to cycle on Vermont’s famously pastoral roads.
says, “gas prices have been at three bucksplus, which is very different from the early part of the decade.” Based on information gleaned by AOT’s representatives in the field, Zicconi believes riders’ newfound interest in trains is also due to a “much larger awareness of global warming and the environment, when it comes to emissions in automobiles.” The general result? “More people are prone to finding alterna-
Vermont has $30 million that could be used on trains, between 2004 and 2009. To date, the AOT has only used $200,000 of those funds. What’s the hold-up? Cole, an Amtrak spokesperson, explains, “All new corridors that are not projected to cover 100 percent of their direct operating loss must be state supported.” Amtrak, it turned out, gave up its independent service in Vermont at just the right time. Ridership declined slowly but steadily for almost a decade after the state swooped in. A host of factors militated against train travel during that period, including low gas prices, affordable plane tickets and the loss of connecting bus service from St. Albans to Montréal. One unfortunate effect of this trend was that Amtrak axed the baggage car, pre-
“People who would have come up here otherwise are just not doing it,” Walsh says resignedly. However, something interesting happened in 2005: The trend reversed. Over the past two years, according to the Vermont Agency of Transportation, there has been a 12.6 percent combined increase in riders on the Vermonter and the Ethan Allen Express. Ridership on the Vermonter alone is up 17.8 percent over the last fiscal year, with 61,825 riders reported. AOT spokesman John Zicconi attributes the reversal to the effects of Hurricane Katrina. “The last couple of summers,” he

During this year’s session, Vermont’s lawmakers made $17.5 million available to the AOT for the purchase of Diesel Multiple Units, which is “just a fancy name for brand-new cars,” Zicconi explains. The current cars, which are owned by Amtrak, are 30 to 40 years old and too big for Vermont’s needs. The new cars — three power cars and two passenger cars — will be owned by the state and manufactured by Colorado Railcar. Zicconi describes them as “newer looking and sleeker.” They’ll use about 40 percent less fuel than the current cars, release

fewer emissions, and be equipped with indoor bike racks. Perhaps most importantly, the DMUs, which are supposed to be ordered by the end of the summer, will allow Amtrak to add one more run south of White River Junction. “The majority of our riders on the Vermonter are from White River and points south,” Zicconi says. Currently, there’s one southbound run per day on the Vermonter, starting in St. Albans at 8:30 a.m. and getting into Washington, D.C., 611 miles later, at 10 p.m. The northbound run starts in Washington at 8:10 a.m. on weekdays and arrives in St. Albans at 9:35 p.m. The new runs will go like this: Train 1 will start in St. Albans and go to New Haven, Connecticut, where riders will switch trains to go further south, then return to White River Junction. Train 2 will start in White River Junction, run to New Haven, and come back to St. Albans. A third engine car will be available when one of the other two is being repaired or maintained. The upshot is more frequent trains, which the AOT predicts will increase the number of riders on the Vermonter to 150,000 annually. “This is a little bit of an
experiment for us,” Zicconi admits. “We want to see how they work and see how the service responds.” For the time being, the Ethan Allen Express will remain unchanged.
Every day, the Vermonter stops in White River Junction at 6:55 p.m. on its way to St. Albans. At least, that’s when it’s supposed to be there. On a recent Friday, the dim, natural light in the old station just barely illuminates a freestanding sign that reads: Train will be here at 8:00. Behind a caged window marked “Tickets” stands the station attendant, looking sheepish, either because he’s embarrassed for Amtrak or because he doesn’t really sell tickets at the window — you buy them online or directly from the conductor. “Train’s about an hour late,” the attendant tells a gentleman there to pick up his friend from New York City. “You’re kidding.” “Nope. It’s usually late, and I’m not kidding.” The attendant is not actually an Amtrak employee. He works for Green Mountain Railroad, which has the service contract on the station. Amtrak employs 10 people in the state — not one of them is a conductor — and paid
them a total of $637,263 in 2006. The 6:55 arrives at 7:45, and a pile of people climb down and receive hugs and handshakes from their friends and relations. Twenty to 25 is the average number of people getting on and off at White River, which is the second most popular station after Rutland. The train departs two minutes later with perhaps 40 people on board. Next stop, Randolph.
The map of passenger train service in Vermont is slightly bizarre. The Vermonter stretches from Brattleboro up the Connecticut River Valley in one long line, then continues through the White River and Winooski River valleys to Essex Junction and on to St. Albans. The Ethan Allen Express is a little strand that skips from Rutland to Fair Haven before proceeding to Whitehall, Albany and Manhattan. That leaves large swaths of the state devoid of passenger rail service, most notably the western corridor up Route 7 from Bennington to Burlington. “The gorilla in the room is the western corridor,” says Rick Moulton, an independent filmmaker from Huntington and a
member of the Governor’s Rail Council. There’s plenty of track along the western corridor, but it’s too slow. Passenger trains need to be able to travel at 60 miles per hour to be effective — “If trains take too long, people won’t use them,” Zicconi supplies. About 75 miles of track between Bennington and Burlington have a maximum speed of 10 to 15 miles per hour. Right now, freight trains use the western corridor exclusively, but the track isn’t even up to snuff for that job. The standard weight rating is 286,000 pounds, and the west side track is mostly rated for 263,000 pounds, so cars can’t be filled to capacity. One consequence of that scenario is higher consumer prices for fuel oil, since much of it comes to the state via rail, and cars that are only 80 percent full have a higher per-ton cost. A second consequence is an increased dependence on trucks, says Mike Coates, another member of the Governor’s Rail Council and a retiree from the construction industry. What can’t be transported on the rails is loaded into CO2-spewing tractor trailers. “The environmental part of that is just staggering,” Coates says, explaining that Omya alone is responsible for 72,000 truck trips
per year from the Middlebury Quarry to Florence, Vermont. The passenger and freight problems have one and the same solution — track upgrades — and the money is sitting in the federal budget, earmarked for the western corridor. That’s thanks to Senator Jeffords and the Gateway Rural Improvement Pilot Association, a nonprofit group of Bennington, Addison and Rutland county businesses. Those counties, GRIP asserts, have suffered economically from the lack of an interstate highway and modern rail infrastructure. Jeffords and GRIP obtained $30 million from the Federal Surface Transportation Act, to be used between 2004 and 2009. To date, according to Moulton, the AOT has only used $200,000 of those funds. What’s the hold-up? According to Moulton, the problem is “bureaucrats and the state’s unwillingness to let design-build happen.” Is there any chance of the funds’ expiring if they’re not used by 2009? “Highly possible,” warns Moulton. The AOT’s response to that criticism is that it’s busy with other upgrades to the state’s ailing highways, bridges and culverts. “We’re very much aware that that stretch of line needs >> 30A

improvement, and we are working towards a plan to improve it,” Zicconi stresses. But “I’m not going to tell you it’s going to happen tomorrow.”
At the very least, the state seems to have shown its commitment to furthering passenger rail. But one community conspicuously missing from Vermont’s map of rail service, present or future, is a little town called Burlington. How can that be? Melinda Moulton, who is married to Rick Moulton, readily offers an answer, though she says it’s painful to dredge it from her memory. Moulton is the CEO of Main Street Landing, which owns and redevelops much of the waterfront real estate in Burlington. She’s on the board of the Vermont Rail Advocacy Network, a 2500-member group of rail supporters. Moulton has been involved with trains in Vermont since 1984, when she and her redevelopment partner Lisa Steele purchased Burlington’s Union Station from Green Mountain Power. The station, which was built in 1916, had 15 rail lines running through it in its heyday. “It was the gateway to Vermont,” Moulton says, but Union Station fell into disrepair with the advent of the automobile. During the first phase of its renovation, Governor Dean contacted Moulton with a big idea. “He approached us and said, ‘Hey, let’s do a train station in Burlington and get passenger rail back,’” Moulton recalls. The planning and permitting took a few years, but Dean and Jeffords secured the funds, and on December 4, 2000, Burlington became the smallest city in the U.S. with a commuter rail line. Partially created to head off a traffic nightmare from the reconstruction of Route 7, the Champlain Flyer began as a short run from Charlotte to Burlington. The problem, according to Zicconi, was that “It didn’t have the ridership to support itself.” The line lost political support under the Douglas administration, dying a quick death by February 28, 2003. In Moulton’s version of the story, the Champlain Flyer was just the first effort in a long-term plan for rail in Chittenden County. “It was going to take about 15 years to create the connections, but eventually we would get Amtrak back to Burlington,” she says. “And we would see 1000 people per day leaving their cars in New York or Washington, coming to Burlington, and then heading north to Montréal.” But, Moulton opines, bureaucratic myopia set in, along with NIMBY-ism — a group of homeowners said they didn’t want to have to look at the tracks. “So there was a big vision for rail, and the Flyer was just one tiny piece. Well, everyone

Ridership on the Vermonter passenger train alone is up 17.8 percent over the last fiscal year, with 61,825 riders reported. focused on the tiny piece.” Burlington has the infrastructure for an easy connection to the Essex Junction station, but Moulton asserts that the city lacks the political will to do it. “This is a huge economic opportunity for the City of Burlington, and why they don’t embrace it and fight for it is beyond my reasoning,” she goes on with palpable urgency. Moulton is concerned that as gas prices continue to rise, people will quickly look for other ways to move about. The DMUs, she says, are “a step forward, but we should be taking leaps by now.” Rick Moulton echoes his wife’s sentiment with his own vision for Vermont rail: “If we actually had DMU service on both sides of the state, running effectively four times per day, we’d have a real alternative to the automobile.”
Back on the rails, the tardy Vermonter is speeding up — perhaps not as much as bored or weary travelers might expect. Although 60 miles an hour is the speed of choice for passenger rail, not every section of the track permits that velocity, because of rail bed and other structural limitations. There are 82 “slow orders” — require-
ments to decrease speed — between St. Albans and Massachusetts, and sometimes the train has to begin braking a mile before a slow section. The scenery takes on a different shape when you’re moving at 30 mph instead of 60. The dark green forest tunnel looks alive, with the leaves shivering in the train’s vortex. Freshly hayed fields in South Royalton come into sharp focus and then blur alongside I-89. As the dusk grows darker, the interior lights mirror the sparse population of travelers on board. One of them is Robin Phelps, 39, a product manager from New York City. She sits beside the window, gripping her cellphone like a talisman against the night. She’s headed to Burlington for the week, but plans to fly home. “I usually take JetBlue,” she says, “but unfortunately, the airfare keeps going up.” Phelps paid $58 for a oneway train ride to Burlington, versus $199 on JetBlue. She likes the train, she says, but “it’s just dreadfully long.” When everything’s on schedule, the trip from Penn Station to Essex Junction takes nearly nine hours.

How to connect these people with their final destinations is a question the AOT - your will be asking a lot more in the future. Its goal is to make public transportation “seamless” in dealer! Vermont, and the rhetoric is 12 Bacon St. Burlington, VT impressive. 802.658.5444 “To this end,” Zicconi www.city-lights.com writes in an email, “the Vermont Agency of Transportation in the coming months will develop options for an efficient and well-coordinated public transportation system that offers connections between all transportation 7/27/07 1:31:32 PM modes — bus, train, auto and 1x6-citylights080107.indd 1 air — making it easier for the public to access the network.” Lisa Aultman-Hall, professor of engineering and director of the Transportation Center at UVM, offers an academic’s long-term perspective. She says public transportation in highdensity areas will need to be coupled with “low-cost, safe and environmentally friendly personal vehicles” and a state-ofthe-art telecommunications network that allows people to work from home and coordinate carpools and rural public transit. The seamlessness of public transportation will become even more crucial as Vermonters age. The U.S. Census Bureau projects that more than 20 percent of the national population will be 65 or older by 2030, with the percentage a little higher in Vermont. An aging population has a higher number of people who can’t — or won’t — drive, and they need a way to get around. That need is exemplified by people like Jim Rossi, of Westerly, Rhode Island. He and his wife boarded the Vermonter in New Haven, Connecticut, on a junket to see the Shelburne Museum. He looks fragile, his words almost inaudible over the constant wail of the train whistle. “I’m 73 years old,” he says. “Why do I need to drive?” The train pulls into the Waterbury station — an 1875 Italianate-style building, refurbished with the help of Green Mountain Coffee Roasters — at about 9:30 p.m. Beyond the pools of light thrown by the antique fixtures is darkness. A couple of passengers disappear into it. Ten minutes later, the station is deserted. �

Dragonheart member Jim Cross eyeballs me and calls for a size 45 paddle, the shortest available. “But I’ve rowed crew,” I protest, figuring I deserve a longer paddle to give my strokes more oomph. “But this is different,” he says firmly. Cross reviews some of the dragonboating terminology with me. To “sit pretty” is to lean forward with the paddle out. To “hold water” is to stop. “You know canoeing and kayaking?” he says. “Well, this is nothing like that.” Then, Coach John Dyer places me with 19 women who have something in common beyond their matching lifejackets and paddles. “These are breast-cancer survivors,” he explains as we walk toward the dock. “They’re going to blow you away today.”

Dragon boating has long been associated with empowerment. The sport that now has nearly 50 million participants worldwide originally surfaced more than 2500 years ago in China. There, farmers would race the “dragons” — which symbolize control over water — at the summer solstice to rail against the whims of nature that might threaten to destroy their crops. Fast-forward to 1995. That’s when Don McKenzie, a sports-medicine physician in Vancouver, B.C., was studying the effects of exercise on breast-cancer survivors, who had long been told to keep their activities to a minimum. He chose dragon boating as an example because it tests the limits of the upper body, and also because it provides teamwork and a soothing, on-the-water activity. By 1996, McKenzie had pulled together a group of paddlers, called
Abreast in a Boat, for the Vancouver Dragon Boat Festival. By the time they competed, the women had become hooked, and they started spreading the word about dragon boating. New teams soon formed across Canada. Now the sport has trickled south to the United States. At least nine states have teams, including Hope Afloat in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the Pink Phoenix in Portland, Oregon, and the Orange Roughys (motto: “We’re so rough we beat cancer”) from Orange County, California. Dragon boating came to Burlington thanks to Linda Dyer,
who had paddled with Hope Afloat before moving to Vermont from the Philadelphia area with her husband, John, in 2003. “We saw the lake and had a dream that this would be the perfect place for dragon boating,” says Linda. She began recruiting prospective paddlers and arranged to borrow a boat from Boston for the summer of 2004. Dragonheart Vermont, a nonprofit organization, was born. Three years ago, Dragonheart’s 55 paddlers shared that single borrowed boat. Thanks to various fundraising efforts and a donation from Fletcher Allen Health Care’s radiation oncology department, the team now keeps five boats on the Burlington water-
front throughout the summer. And its ranks have swelled to 165 members, many of them breast-cancer survivors. At our Monday evening practice, I’m sitting in front of Louise Crawford, a 65-year-old retired bookkeeper from Ferrisburgh who had breast cancer 10 years ago. “I’ve never been a very competitive person,” she says. “But I love being out on the water.” Each boat has 20 seats. Toward the bow are the “pacers,” who, well, set the pace; behind them is the “engine room” that provides much of the power. Toward the stern are the “terminators,” whose short strokes and

quick recoveries help the boat move smoothly through chop created by other paddlers. Sitting two abreast, we fit snugly in the boat. In front of me is Katie O’Connor, 45, of Shelburne. She was diagnosed in June 2004. “This is a sorority that none of us ever intended to join,� the Champlain College project manager says wryly. “But it’s been one of the biggest blessings of my life.� Coach Dyer stands in the stern of the boat, steering and shouting directions. During races, a drummer at the bow pounds in sync with the strokes. Many of the survivors are also drummers; they say the rhythm is another way for them to connect with one another. “Sit pretty,� says the coach. Before I know it, we’re off. And so am I — I’ve already lost the rhythm, and my paddle starts clacking against Crawford’s. Dyer reminds me to watch the paddlers in front instead of keeping my head down. Already breathing hard, I’m humbled. This is, indeed, nothing like rowing, canoeing or kayaking. As we pass the Boathouse restaurant, Splash, I gaze at it longingly, wishing for an ice-cold cocktail.

This year, proceeds from the daylong event will go toward Vermont Respite House, a hospice for the terminally ill in Williston. Seventy-seven community teams have entered the festival. Many are from Fletcher Allen, including Bottoms Up (the endoscopy department), Dragons Bugs (infectious disease), It’s Not Just Luck (breast care center), Rays of Hope (radiation oncology), the Bye Bye Belly Club (labor and delivery), and the Emergency Crew (ER staff ). Dragonheart has also invited 12 breast-cancer-survivor teams to participate in the special Well Healed Challenge workshop on Saturday, August 4, and to compete in Sunday’s races. All told, nearly 100 teams of 20 paddlers and one drummer each will be racing a 250-meter course. They’ll take turns boarding 10 different boats at the sailing center and racing every 12 minutes.

If the music is playing at Breakwater, we usually do a little paddle dance.� Elsewhere on the lake tonight are two other Dragonheart boats filled with more survivors, as well as supporters. One of the latter is Damien Cross. The 26-year-old from Burlington joined the team for his mom, who was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2003. Later, he tells me that paddling gives him a good workout as well as the feeling of doing something good. “Every time I go out there I’m able to exceed my limits,� says Cross, who works for Select Design. “I’ll always remember the times I’ve been out there in rain and waves toughing it out.� Rain? Waves? As I break from paddling to watch the silky sheen of the lake and the shimmering hulls of nearby sailboats, it’s hard to imagine inclement weather. But, as Linda Dyer explains, the mercurial nature of Lake Champlain harks back to dragon boating’s beginnings — as a battle with nature. “Some people paddle on these nice little waterways,� she says. “It can be a challenge
During our practice, I begin to understand the sport’s addictive appeal. Once I learn to relax and watch my teammates, I get the hang of the stroke and feel the serenity of the synchronicity. “It’s the ultimate team sport,â€? Linda Dyer says. “You just feel that incredible glide, and, for breast-cancer survivors, there’s this incredible sense of empowerment when you’re out there and you’re feeling that connection and you’re not thinking about cancer.â€? On this night, though, the whims of nature win out. Just as we get into some sprints, thunderheads roll in, and a few spits of rain quickly turn into a downpour. Spotting lightning, we paddle to the docks as fast as we can and scramble for cover. Everyone looks out for one another, grabbing paddles for storage, securing boats, and sharing raincoats. Then I realize that even a “wet blanketâ€? can’t bring down the indomitable team spirit of Dragonheart Vermont. That camaraderie lured Burlington resident Liisa Reimann, 38, to Dragonheart last year. “It’s very uplifting,â€? says the web designer and historic-preservation consultant. “No one judges or criticizes you.

Soar Corps Cloud surfing at the Warren-Sugarbush airport
E
ver wanted to quit your day job and take to the skies? Talk to Ron Webster. Since he started soaring — that is, flying without an engine — in the late ’70s, the guy has logged 2454 hours of STORY airtime. That’s the rough equivalent, he MIKE says, of a year’s 9-to-5 labor. This lucky IVES duck spent all of it gallivanting over the Green Mountains at altitudes of up to IMAGES 7000 feet. EVA Nice work if you can get it. Webster, SOLLBERGER now 70, is the vice president of the Sugarbush Soaring Association, which is headquartered at the Warren-Sugarbush airport. The skinny stretch of tarmac sits in a stunning nook of the Mad River Valley next to a restaurant aptly titled Diner Soar. Most days, Webster and the rest of his sun-bronzed crew fly gliders to destinations as far off as Mount Washington in New Hampshire. First the “ships” are towed up to about 3000 feet by an old crop-duster plane. After that, any power they harness is au naturel. The Warren-Sugarbush airport is one of only four in the state to offer soaring, according to airport personnel. The pastime’s not cheap: It costs $112 for a 20-minute ride in these skies. While earning a gliding license depends on individual skill levels, an average package of pilot certification lessons runs $4000 to $5000. So what keeps this operation afloat? On a recent sunny afternoon, I went for a soar with Webster to find out. Along the way, I picked up a layman’s understanding of how the sport works, not to mention a sense of why so many glider pilots devote their waking hours to imitating winged mammals. When I arrive at the airport office, Rob Webster is lounging on a bench with his teenage grandson Sean, an aspiring pilot. The former’s face is tanned and creased like a well-oiled riding saddle, and a pair of huge black
sunglasses obscures his eyes like pirate patches. An east-facing window at Webster’s back offers a mountain panorama. The view is too enticing, apparently: After a few minutes of small talk, Webster cuts off conversation and leads me toward the runway. A hundred yards away, his colleagues Bob Messner and Rick Hanson have been prepping for our flight. Messner is wearing silver-rimmed aviators, a hat,
atmospheric phenomena: “thermals,” “ridge lift” and “mountain waves.” To elaborate on the logistics of the sport, the men point up at one of their protégés — 15-year-old Quincy McDougal, a newly minted pilot, who happens to be circling under a cloud right above our heads. With no engine, you’d expect him to be cruising downward. But the longer we stare, the smaller his craft looks. That’s because
at McDougal’s plane, “I could glide to Morrisville airport” — a journey of more than 30 miles. “But if I were [broken down] in my Cessna [airplane], I couldn’t go 7 miles to Waitsfield.” “Good to know,” I say, battling the butterflies in my stomach. As with most children of the post-industrial era, my aerial navigation skill is limited to asking the flight attendant for extra peanuts.
There are a lot of analogies to sailing. You have to analyze the weather and make it work for you. BOB MESSNER short shorts and high socks. He could be an expat on a South Pacific island. In contrast, Hanson’s manicured appearance is more Connecticut yacht club. Turns out the nautical imagery is perfectly suited to this enterprise. The glider has two razor-thin, curvaceous wings; its body could almost be mistaken for a racing sailboat. That’s no coincidence, according to Messner. “There are a lot of analogies to sailing,” he explains. In both cases, “You have to analyze the weather and make it work for you.” Make weather work for you? On first hearing, such a brash assertion sounds like something George W. Bush — who owns a macho-riffic fishing boat — would say about global warming. But in fact, gliding requires an astounding degree of humility and patience. In order to make the weather “work,” pilots must channel and respond to three basic
he’s climbing at up to 600 feet per minute, courtesy of a “thermal.” Unlike the standard plane, which leaves a linear contrail, McDougal’s has a spiraling flight pattern resembling a hawk’s. That makes sense, according to Hanson, since gliders are much closer to “pure flight” than are petroleumpowered crafts. In fact, these men report crossing paths with birds at high altitudes. “Here’s this thing with a 54foot wingspan, and [the birds] don’t fly away from you!” Hanson says. At first glance, with only one landing wheel and a cockpit that’s a mere foot off the ground, a glider strikes me as an aerodynamic death wish. But, notes Webster, gliding is actually safer than traditional flying. That’s because fossil-fuel-friendly ships can’t coast as far in the event of engine failure. “If I can get to the bottom of those clouds,” he explains, pointing a mile into the sky
Despite my inexperience, Webster puts me in the glider’s front pilot’s seat, which sits directly in front of his. I’ve never been particularly afraid of flying, but this cockpit feels claustrophobic, and, when the glass canopy closes, the air inside is unbearably stuffy. Just before takeoff, Hanson hands me a vomit bag and winks. “Just in case,” he says. Messner approaches, hooks us up to a precariously thin, yellow tow rope and hops into the crop duster. Then he powers up his prop and launches down the runway. There’s a short delay as the tow rope slithers along behind him. Then the glider jolts forward and we’re rocketing. Though it trails behind the crop duster, our craft lifts off the ground first, as if it were a parasail. “He has to catch up to us!” Webster yells over the roar. >> 36A

The plane takes off. A minute later, we’re dangling by a thin cord at 3000 feet. “Do you see that yellow lever I told you not to touch?” Webster asks coyly, pointing at my console. “I want you to pull it.” After a flicker of hesitation, I yank, and the sound of the crop duster’s engine fades away — whoooosssh. It’s as if we’d been watching an IMAX movie and the surround-sound cut out. Fortunately, Webster also has pilot’s controls in his seat, so we don’t plummet to a tragic end. On the contrary, over the next 15 minutes he milks the thermals for a 2000-foot altitude gain. In the process, my fear morphs into sublime reverence. At this height, I’m watching clouds form, wisp by wisp — an alchemy that would elude description by the best poets, or climatologists. “Ever feel like you’re ascending up to heaven, Ron?” I ask. “No,” he replies dryly. “But this is paradise!”
“That’s where someone planned to build a house, then decided not to,” Webster answers. Then he brings us in for a gentle landing. When the glider touches solid ground, Messner, Hanson and the young McDougal congregate around us, and we all begin to yak like old-timers at a general store — except the conversation focuses on clouds and weather patterns instead of town gossip. As the men carry on, McDougal, who is blond and rosy-cheeked, chimes in comfortably with his own observations. If soaring offers a magisterial view of the world, it also requires a localized connection to a physical landscape. Pilots, for example, study minute geographic features such as the deforested clearing. That’s because each one is a potential source of thermal energy, or glider gas. “We get to pay attention to things like the life
and not enough time.” But despite any aerial gentrification, the sport still boasts a healthy, young grassroots following. McDougal, for one, works on the airport’s line crew in exchange for flying lessons. The week of July 30, a cadre of teens will be flying here as part of a 5-day soaring camp. Some airport alums never land for good. Case in point: One of Hanson’s daughters graduated from the Air Force Academy in 1993. Another’s working at Burlington Airport and plans to pursue a career in airport management. Similarly, McDougal says his hobby could very well turn into a career. “It’s a complete blast,” he gushes. “I’ve always been into aviation, so [gliding] is a way to progress towards a license in bigger and more exciting things.” His braces aside, the young Lincoln resident speaks with uncommon confidence and
cycle of the cloud,” Messner asserts. “The average person never thinks about that.” Physics aside, gliding encourages goofy encounters. Messner tells me that even the best pilot touches down in a field now and then. “Farmers are all good people, so they don’t mind,” he says. “You put their kids in the cockpit and take a picture.” “When you look at a big field,” McDougal adds, “you’re always thinking about what you’d do if you were in a plane.” Webster and Messner have been living in and around this field for decades. A former engineer who used to pitch tents for long weekends, Webster finally bought a nearby home in the mid-’90s; Messner has been around since the ’70s. How has the sport changed over the last 20 years? I wonder out loud. Messner claims that glider clubs used to assemble their own rigs. These days, not so much — gliding attracts a wealthier clientele. “People have enough money now,” he reports. “They have too much money,
sophistication. That’s reassuring, considering he operates $100,000 gliders at high altitudes. As the day’s clouds disappear, McDougal’s mentors wax prophetic about the boy’s future. Messner points out that soaring education promotes not just technical mastery but a nose for judgment. “People like Quincy will be in the air their whole lives; I can tell,” Webster affirms. Indeed, the boy seems perfectly at home with this crew of aging aviators; it’s hard to imagine him back in a high school classroom. “You learn a lot from books and things,” he asserts, “but you also learn a lot by hearing conversations.” Maybe when Webster looks at the teen, he sees a little of himself 30-odd years ago — when the flying bug caught him and wouldn’t let go. “I’m sure a person like Quincy is taking in these stories and listening to what’s going on,” Webster observes in an easy voice, looking out at the ridge. “He isn’t ready to go to Morrisville yet . . . but he’s listening.” �

The clouds are excellent metaphorical templates, to be sure. According to Webster, however, they’re also functional. As we circle higher and higher, the gliding guru explains that each puff is a “gas station” of potential energy. With that, he points the nose down, and we cruise through blue sky at more than 100 miles per hour. “Here’s some gas!” he shouts, reaching the next cloud. “Here’s some more!” Suddenly, what had seemed like a peaceful visit with Saint Gabriel now resembles a day at Thunder Road Speedbowl. The wind raps furiously at the cockpit glass. Webster rotates the glider around clockwise, calling out notable landmarks: “Mount Abraham . . . Camel’s Hump . . . Montpelier . . . Northfield!” More intriguing is the voyeuristic angle on the region that gliding presents. From this height, I see a garbage dump hidden in a copse, a secluded pond, a winding country road. “What’s that deforested clearing down there?” I ask as we race by.

ARTISTS GET READY TO STRIKE WHILE THE IRON IS HOT
<ART>
The Heat Is On Iron men and women learn to pour — and break — the mold
t’s barely noon on Saturday, and already temperatures have reached record heights in the parking lot at Pine Street Studios in Burlington. It’s the sort of heat that pops thermomeSTORY ters and, according to Elijah Sproles, KEITH would make a pack of matches sponMORRILL taneously combust in your pocket. In degrees Fahrenheit, you’re talking easIMAGES ily over 2000. That’s about what it MATTHEW takes to melt iron, and that’s what THORSEN today is all about: an iron pour that’s the culmination of a weeklong ironcasting workshop.
I
what had happened, he reached out to help by letting Sproles do what he does best. Thus the workshop was conceived, and arrangements were made to get Sproles to Vermont to teach it. Now, despite his own warning, Sproles stands poised over the heat’s source, a makeshift furnace positioned on one side of the lot. He wears a face shield reminiscent of riot gear and holds a sharp metal poker about as long as his arm. The furnace is a short, stout metal cylinder; except for
audience of about 20 crowds behind a line of bright-pink caution tape trying to get a good view, exclaiming with oohs and aahs. As soon as the ladle is full, Sproles uses a different poker, this one topped with a fresh bott, and plugs the spout like he’s serving an underhand pitch. The students carry the ladle to a nearby line of cone-topped boxes that resembles a chain of science-fair volcanoes. These are the casting molds that the workshop participants spent a week creating for today’s pour, when
The students carry the ladle to a nearby line of cone-topped boxes that resembles a chain of science-fair volcanoes. This is the second year the workshop has taken over Pine Street Studios. Organized by Burlington artist John “Yolk” Marius, the workshop was originally intended to aide Sproles during a difficult period, personally and artistically. Around this time last year, Sproles, a New Orleans resident, was still reeling from the devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina: In that disaster, flooding destroyed his shop. The two artists had met previously at a Minnesota sculpture park. When Marius heard
the flames shooting from the top, it looks like a keg with a waterslide-like spout branching off its base. The spout is plugged with a lump of clay and sand called a bott. That’s Sproles’ target. He takes aim and stabs the poker home. Molten iron comes gushing down the chute into a metal bucket, or ladle, which is held by two intrepid workshop participants. The molten metal is so hot that it glows a brilliant, Nickelodeon-orange shade. On the other side of the lot, an eager
their imagined forms will become hard iron. Sproles guides the ladle’s carriers, offering suggestions and encouragement. “Good pour, good pour!” he says, as the contents of the ladle are tipped until each cone is brimming. The process is repeated many times over the next four hours,
as more iron is melted to fill the dozen completed molds waiting inside the shop. Between pours, teacher and students chat and swig lots of water. Sproles takes time to talk about the welcome he received when he made his first trek to Burlington last year. “People here were so understanding. What I found most amazing was the sense of awareness,” he says. “There were other places I’d visit where people just didn’t have any idea.” Hard to believe anyone in America could not

be aware of the extent of destruction in New Orleans. Sproles returned because of his positive experience in Vermont. Many of the participants have come back, too — there are 18 in all, with just a few first-timers. The bond the students have forged seems as ironclad as their sculptures, as they joke around and bet post-pour pints on which molds will leak. All week, Sproles has put the power of creation directly in the hands of participants. Imagination and time were the only constraints on creating their molds, and it’s clearly important to Sproles that their visions take shape when all is said and poured. As they wait their turn to hold the ladle, the students enthusiastically describe to onlookers what lies beneath the mostly drab exterior of their molds. Not so dull, though, is the one bearing the logo “Pour free or die.” Some participants have taken material directly from the garden, making casts of garlic bulbs or ears of corn, while others chose objects for their interesting textures, such as Marius’ corduroy hat, or the glass beer jug sand-blasted with the Magic Hat logo. Artist Sara Nesson married novelty and texture by picking up a red snapper at Price Chopper for one of her molds. And a few brave souls ventured into riskier territory by creating original works of art for casting. Burlington artist Diane Gabriel made one with a political message. “I’m making a black heart for our president,” she explains. One thing that elevates this workshop above the mundane, according to Sproles, is the freedom he allows participants to
follow their artistic inclinations. “If you went into a regular foundry with some of these things, they’d look at you like you were crazy,” he suggests. Another reason for Sproles’ popularity in Burlington could be his tendency to use recycled materials — a match for Vermont’s green consciousness. The piles of iron flakes waiting to be melted actually came from old radiators, which workshop participants pulverized with sledgehammers. The great thing about iron, Sproles explains, is that it can withstand repeated shaping. “It’s interesting to think that [the radiators] might have been anything before,” he says. “Maybe it was a Soviet tank, and they busted it down to make a radiator. That sat in a person’s house for 50 years until they switched to a different form of heat. Now, we’re breaking it down and making art out of it.” As 5 o’clock rolls around, and the last of the iron is tapped and poured, the remaining audience begins to depart. David Frey of Montpelier, who’s only 8, has just witnessed his second iron pour. He notes some improvements over last year’s: “It seemed better organized,” David opines as he and his father head home. But while the day is over for the sightseers, the best part is yet to come for those who have toiled all week. Most of the molds are ready to open after only an hour, so the artists arm themselves with pick-axes, power drills, chisels and beer, and set to work excavating their creations. “It’s like Christmas!” one participant shouts over the noise. “No, it’s better than Christmas,” clarifies another, “because you’re getting exactly what you want.” �

Water Marked
L EXHIBIT Lawrence Fane: “Form Follows Fantasy,” sculpture and drawings inspired by the Renaissance artist-engineer Mariano Taccola. BigTown Gallery, Rochester. Through August 26.
ARTWORK “Mill Piece” by Lawrence Fane
PHOTO Marc Awodey
eonardo da Vinci wasn’t the only Renaissance man who designed gadgets. A lesser-known artist and engineer from Florence’s civic rival Siena, one Mariano Taccola (1382 – ca. 1458), was filling sketchbooks with inventive ideas when Leonardo was still in diapers. Although it’s not certain that Taccola was a direct influence on da Vinci’s annotated folios, his impact on the work of New Yorkbased contemporary sculptor Lawrence Fane is profound. That’s evident in his current exhibition, entitled “Form Follows Fantasy,” at the BigTown Gallery in Rochester, Vermont. Born in 1933, Fane is more than a distinguished artist. He has also become a leading Taccola scholar. His solo exhibition of 17 surreal, nonobjective sculptures and seven oddly organic mixed-media drawings pays homage to Taccola at every turn. Its title plays on the phrase “form follows function.” But while that assertion of American architect Louis Sullivan implies absolutism, Fane’s take-off on it expresses a quixotic restlessness, perhaps inherited through his extensive studies of Taccola. Fane doesn’t create models or diagrams of the obscure master’s machines. Rather, he admires the engineer’s artistry, and digests and reinterprets Taccola’s unique aesthetic.
Fane’s solo exhibition of 17 surreal, nonobjective sculptures and seven oddly organic mixedmedia drawings pays homage to Taccola at every turn. The artist’s mixed-media series of works on paper, called “Hydraulics,” are like designs for mechanical organs and strange pumps. Fane draws quite a bit better than did Taccola, yet his pictorial approach — shifting the scale of objects and moving from one idea to another on the same page — is inspired by the proto-Renaissance inventor. So are Fane’s somewhat “wonky” shapes. Unlike Taccola’s sketches, however, Fane’s drawings are finished works of art. Wonderfully varied weights of line and passages of exotic blues, earthy reds and, appropriately enough, raw sienna are hallmarks of Fane’s portfolio. Besides creating drawings descended from Taccola’s, Fane produces wall-mounted constructions of similar scale — rarely more than 30 inches in any direction. Pieces in the construction series are called “Purifier.” The works combine dowels, large drip shapes and crank-like sticks into unified forms. Siena was a city that struggled for its water supply, so many of Taccola’s designs dealt with moving and harnessing the inconstant liquid. Fane’s pieces flow from a similar inspiration. The stand-alone “Mill Piece,” crafted from sub-
tly stained butternut and mahogany, is a 73-by-42by-60-inch vertical composition featuring two rows of broad slats that loom 6 feet tall, like a sandwichboard sign made from standing futon frames. A slightly curved projection emanates from it at floor level, and a perpendicular wooden wheel marks its terminus. Taccola had a tenuous grasp of linear perspective, and the curious spatial distortions of his drawings have found their way into Fane’s almost Seussian, larger-scale 3-D objects. One such piece, “Taccola’s Dream,” is a lathe-like form 84 inches long, 31 inches wide and just over 40 inches high. Rhythmic chisel marks and false patinas enliven the surfaces of Fane’s wooden creations. Another natural material, concrete, also appears in several of
the works. A vertical concrete basin tops “Reservoir,” positioned within a mount of four mahogany stakes held together by a barrel band of dark steel. The 63-by-18-by-24-inch object resembles implements found in Taccola’s manuscripts. A segment of mirror placed in the base of “Reservoir” alludes to Taccola’s fascination with water. Of course, Fane’s titles, container forms and sloped shapes are also rooted in hydrology. Neither Taccola’s floating flourmill nor da Vinci’s winged flying machines had a significant impact on the modern world; their art was more robust than their fanciful inventions. Fane’s forms without function are even more successful: They’ve actually been built. m

Space is the Place: “Project Sylpheed” Lights Up the cosmos Just what we need, another shooting game set in space. No, really, we need another one as long as it’s “Project Sylpheed.” Even though the genre hasn’t really changed much since 1990’s “Wing Commander,” “Sylpheed” shines the old format to a high-tech gleam. Fighting in space has a special place in nerd lore. “Star Trek” set the standard for space-exploration fantasy, which meant lots of traveling between new planets and most of the action happening on the ground, man versus alien. “Star Wars” upped the ante by moving naval warfare into the cosmos. Lumbering star cruisers firing massive laser-cannon batteries and star fighters wheeling around in freeform dogfights added layers of visual drama. Within video games, these narratives split into planet-side roleplaying or first-person shooter games and vast, free-form space battles. “Sylpheed” tosses out a ton of animated cut-scenes to stitch together a story. But the game sensibly centers on the fun of tearing around in zero gravity and cutting loose on the bad guys with an arsenal of futuristic energy weapons and self-guided missiles. Taking advantage of the Xbox 360’s ample graphics power, the inky blankness of the outer-space void twinkles with millions of stars, glows under the reflected light of nearby planets and effervesces with the electronic contrails of spacecraft, weapon explosions and on-screen displays. With dozens of weapons to configure your craft and an endless supply of things to shoot at, “Sylpheed” plays like some sort of intergalactic wild-game park where you pick your gun, and the guides point you toward things to kill. It might not be fair, but it is fun. What’s so special about “Sylpheed” is even though plenty of outer-space shooter games have come before, none

has looked so gloriously beautiful. A genetic blending of the arcade classic “Tempest,” the mind-bending visual complexity of “Rez” and the hyperactive overload of online arcade shooter “Geometry Wars,” “Sylpheed” shoots for extremes. All of these games share the common realization that bright colors -- in large-enough quantities and set against a black background -- look cool. Oddly, this is also the premise of a Lite-Brite toy. Developer Square Enix has risen to the heights of the game industry by creating rich and complex worlds and packing them with eye candy. “Sylpheed”’s story won’t go down among Square’s best, and the animated cut-scenes fall far from the best the company can produce. All things considered, though, the game wants to put players into the freefall joy of tumbling over and over in a space capsule. And it works. Space nuts can complain about the lack of reality in almost every dimension of
the game’s physical simulations. For everyone else who cut their teeth on “Star Fox,” the good old fly-aroundand-shoot formula shoots for the stars and scores. Who’s It For: Fans of space simulations will enjoy this addition to the family. But you don’t need to love NASA to enjoy this colorful shooter. If You Like This, Try That: For frenzied shooting action, check out “Geometry Wars” on Xbox Live. For outer-space dogfights, the evergrowing library of “Star Wars” games or even the classic “Wing Commander” titles never fail to disappoint. Best Part: Forget mastering orbital mechanics and zero-gravity physics. Various lock-on aids simplify tracking and shooting missiles into enemy ships.

theborowitzreport Cheney, Briefly Assuming Bush’s Duties, Says He Enjoyed the Downtime
V
ice President Dick Cheney, having briefly assumed President Bush’s duties while the president underwent a routine colon procedure on Saturday, told reporters today that he “enjoyed the downtime immensely.” The two hours and fifteen minutes spent doing Bush’s job were “incredibly relaxing,” Cheney said, adding that they were a welcome relief from his exacting vice-presidential schedule. Invoking the 25th Amendment to the Constitution Saturday morning, Bush transferred to Cheney all of his presidential responsibilities, which meant that Cheney spent Saturday jogging, going to the gym, and hitting a ball for Bush’s dog to retrieve. In addition, Cheney called the nations of East Timor and Luxembourg “evil,” stumbling briefly over the pronunciation of Luxembourg. Finally, as Bush’s colon procedure was winding down, Cheney made some remarks about the Japanese economy, mistakenly using the word “devaluation” instead of “deflation,” sending the Nikkei stock market into a tailspin. All in all, Cheney said he emerged from
his brief tenure as president rested and refreshed, ready to plunge back into his demanding vice presidential workload. As for the president, Bush’s doctors pronounced his procedure a success but said that they were having difficulty determining whether or not the president’s anesthesia had fully worn off. Bush’s doctors indicated that when they

asked the president the standard postoperative questions — such as, “What is the capital of the United States?” — Bush got only two out of five correct. “Before the operation, he got three out of five right,” one doctor said. Elsewhere, a Mexican candy has been recalled after containing traces of lead, in a sign of Mexico’s ongoing effort to compete with China’s candy industry.

free will astrology RE AL august 2-8
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Would you
like to shed your soul’s baby fat without having to go on a diet? Do you want to supercharge your immune system, improve your memory for the events that really matter, and build the spiritual power of your sexual feelings? Are you interested in postponing forehead wrinkles, getting glimpses of your beautiful future, and diminishing your fascination with the media’s nihilism? The secrets to pulling off these possibilities will be more available to you than ever before in the coming weeks. And what’s the best way to ensure you’ll gather them in? Open your heart. I mean really open your heart — with a relentlessly tender intensity.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): For a limited time only, you have cosmic permission to suck your thumb and drool freely and murmur “gaga” over and over again. More than that: You have a poetic license to spend expansive periods rocking back and forth while curled into the fetal position, either under the covers or on the beach, while singing little made-up songs about everything you love. The moment has arrived, in other words, to give yourself permission to melt into a pool of primal goo as you commune with the music of the spheres and tune in to the hymn of your deepest longings. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): My Gemini friend Risa is brilliant and sophisticated. She speaks four languages fluently, and is one of the few people I’ve met who understands the theory of relativity. So then why is she fascinated with bad reality TV shows like “The Girls Next Door,” which follows the lives of Hugh Hefner’s girlfriends? How could she possibly enjoy monster truck rallies, which she attends now and then? What purpose is there in her encyclopedic knowledge of the toys favored by children in Kazakhstan, the diets of German racehorses, and the clubs of Chinese women devoted to reproducing antique European lace doilies? As an astrologer, I don’t find this mysterious. I’m aware that for many
Geminis, everything is potentially interesting, even information other people regard as trivial. It’s all raw data to be used in the infinitely fun game of playing with ideas. And that has never been a more apt description of your tribe than it is now.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): “I tell young
people that the greatest paintings in museums are made with minerals mixed in oil smeared on cloth with the hair from the back of a pig’s ear,” says artist James Rosenquist. I hope that thought incites you to achieve pragmatic breakthroughs in the coming weeks, Cancerian. It’s time to play in the mud and risk making a mess, if necessary, in order to translate your beautiful visions into earthy realities.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Barbara Sher’s self-
help tome is called I Could Do Anything If I Only Knew What It Was: How to Discover What You Really Want and How to Get It. In one sense it’s designed for beginners — young people who are just learning how to identify meaningful goals to pursue. But in my opinion, every one of us periodically needs to revisit the mode described in the book’s title. For instance, maybe you’ve accomplished a dream you’ve worked on for months or years, and require a jumpstart as you seek your next big project. Or maybe some desire that motivated you for a long time has faded in its intensity, and you’re feeling blah and apathetic, in need of redirection. Does any of this apply to you, Leo? I bet it does.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The modern war between science and spirituality seems laughable in light of the life of Sir Isaac Newton. His discoveries in the realms of physics, mathematics, and astronomy were so seminal and so numerous that he’s regarded as the most influential scientist in history. Many refer to him as the greatest genius who ever lived. And yet Newton’s central passions were alchemy and the Bible, about which he wrote millions of words, far more than what he devoted to his scientific interests. “Gravity explains the motions of the planets,” he wrote, “but it cannot

explain who set the planets in motion. God governs all things and knows all that is or can be done.” I suggest you make Newton your role model, Virgo. It’s a favorable time to forge a new spirit of cooperation between the two parts of your psyche — let’s call them the rational and the transcendent — which so many of today’s thinkers have told you cannot possibly co-exist.
LIbRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): I’d love to see you call your own bluff and blow your own cover. I’m hoping you’ll stop hiding your assets and keeping so many secrets. And I really, really wish you would come out of the closet not just about your unique gender identity, but also about the other idiosyncratic twists and turns that make you who you are. Please stop being afraid of revealing your beauty, Libra — even the work-in-progress aspects of your beauty. It’s time to close the gap between the real you and the images people have of you. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): [Editor’s note: To prepare this horoscope, I stole some of the lyrics from Yoko Ono’s song “Revelations” and added some words of my own.] Bless you for your anger, Scorpio. It’s a sign of zeal. If you transform it into creative fire, it will transmute your relationship with any situation you’re angry about. Bless you for your greed. It’s a sign of great capacity. Honor the law of karma by giving as much as you want to get, and your greed will drive you to grow generous. Bless you for your jealousy. It’s a sign of immature empathy. Ripen it into admiration and what you admire will become an inspiring part of your life. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Your astrological omens are similar to those experienced by Oscar-winning actress Judi Dench back in February 2002. At that time, she was moved to make a dramatic revelation to film mogul Harvey Weinstein. In the midst of a party, she pulled down her pants to reveal her naked ass, revealing a temporary lipstick
tattoo that read “I love Harvey Weinstein.” I’m guessing you might be inspired to unveil a comparable surprise in the coming days, Sagittarius. At the very least, I expect you’ll find some intriguing ways to express your affection and demonstrate your ardor.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Here are a few of the improvements I expect you to have accomplished by the end of August: a panoramic view of what’s beneath the tip of the iceberg; a more useful relationship with obsession; the cutting of a knot that has tied you up for far too long; the resurrection of a seemingly extinct dream; the beginning of the end of what you love to hate; and hot discussions about the Three Things That Have Rarely or Never Been Talked About. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): It’s the
Season of Burning, Churning Yearning. Here are three of the most important things I’ve ever told you about how to get what you need. (1) If you don’t precisely articulate your conscious desires, your unconscious patterns will come true instead. (2) If you want your conscious desires to trump your unconscious patterns, speak or write your conscious desires every day. (3) It’s better to have three huge, soaring, potent desires than 25 puny, scrabbling, half-assed desires.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Ron is down to six cups of coffee a day, which is much healthier than his previous 15-cup habit. We, his friends, might wish it wasn’t because he joined an ascetic cult that wants him to get into top physical shape in order to fight the evil reptilian extraterrestrials that have taken over the bodies of corporate and governmental leaders. But hey, whatever works. Likewise, Pisces, this is a favorable time for you to resort to just about any legal measure in order to break the grip of your bad habits — even if that involves substituting some rather exotic new habits for the ones you need to eliminate.

film review
Sunshine HHHH
D SUN SCREEN A last-ditch mission into deep space offers a ray of hope for humankind in Danny Boyle’s sci-fi debut.
anny Boyle’s flawed but fascinating space odyssey is set in motion by the most ironic of climate-change calamities. Fifty years into humanity’s campaign to save the planet from global warming, it turns out all those Priuses and funny-looking light bulbs were bought for nothing. As fate would have it, falling temperatures — not rising ones — pose the real threat to mankind’s survival. Billions of years ahead of schedule, the sun is fizzling. This, of course, is a major embarrassment for the elderly Al Gore. But more importantly, the dying of the light proves just the thing to impel the squabbling governments of the world to put their differences aside and pool their natural, financial and intellectual resources. The result is an international program to
send a spacecraft to the sun and drop a nuke “with the mass of Manhattan Island” into it, in the hope of igniting a star within a star and performing history’s most helpful jumpstart. The first expedition ended in failure, as the ship vanished without a trace, which may make you wonder whether mission control jinxed the crew of the craft by naming it the Icarus. Seven years later, the powers that be nonetheless decide to call its successor Icarus II. What possessed them: Laziness? Poor marketing skills? A death wish? The crew of the second expedition is a multicultural mix of eight astronauts and scientists. At the start of the film, they are 16 months into their journey and beginning to get on one another’s nerves. The ship’s engineer, Mace (Chris Evans), is wound so tight he decks physicist Capa (Cillian Murphy) over nothing at all. Psych officer Searle (Cliff Curtis) is losing it little by little as he develops an almost religious obsession with the sun, gazing at it for hours from the craft’s observation room. Navigator Trey (Benedict Wong) is off his game — so much so that, after the ship picks up a distress signal from the original Icarus and alters course so the crew can investigate, his miscalculations lead to disaster. Wong gets the course right but forgets to realign the protective panels that form the vessel’s giant, mushroom-shaped heat shield. This triggers a succes-
sion of deep-space bugaboos, each more dire than the one before it. Much of the mayhem will bring to mind other movies — 2001, Armageddon, Deep Impact, The Core, Event Horizon and Alien among them — and most of the film is nearly as much hypnotic, head-trippy fun as the best of those. With the help of production designer Mark Tildesley, Boyle, the British director of Trainspotting and 28 Days Later, has delivered a picture whose dazzling visuals rival the most visionary spacescapes ever created. And no one — not even Kubrick — has come close to rendering the terrible beauty of the sun with such grandeur. It’s a shame the script doesn’t attain the same level of artistry. Written by novelist Alex Garland, who’s collaborated with Boyle twice before, the film features a final act that doesn’t just come out of left field; it feels like something out of a different movie. And not a terribly original or accomplished one. The last 45 minutes or so comprise a pile-up of B-movie tropes and shaky-cam, gratuitous-zoom, fuzzy-focus incomprehensibility — all unworthy of the promising material that preceded it. Nonetheless, the first two-thirds of Sunshine are so remarkable, so rich with wonderful ideas and tantalizing visions that, on balance, it’s a breathtaking bit of cinema. The film itself may fizzle, but not before Boyle does some of his career’s most brilliant work RICK KISONAK
Paprika HHHH
I TRIPPING JAPANESE Kimono-clad dolls and Hello Kitty will never look the same after you’ve seen Satoshi Kon’s anime.
n the 1995 flick Kicking and Screaming, a boy tells a girl his dream. She asks him for a quarter — in her family, that’s the standard fine for making someone listen to a story that only really makes sense to its “author.” Listening to other people narrate their dreams can be tedious indeed. But what if everyone started having the same dream? And what if it were a psychotic fantasia involving a parade of talking dolls, musicmaking frogs and kitchen appliances? That’s the premise of Paprika, a Japanese animation from writer-director Satoshi Kon (Millennium Actress, Tokyo Godfathers), based on a science-fiction novel by Yasutaka Tsutsui. Backing up a bit: The story concerns an invention called the DC Mini, which makes it possible for therapists to enter, share and even record their patients’ dreams. No longer will these narratives of the subconscious bore or baffle anyone, as trained professionals analyze neuroses by looking at their raw footage, as it were. But this fanciful device is still in the prototype stage. And it has dangerous potential, as its inventors find when one of them starts talking like a Surrealist poet and leaps out a window. Someone has stolen a DC Mini and is using it to invade other people’s minds with a waking nightmare — the aforementioned toy parade — that appears to have been snagged from the brain of a very disturbed individual. The head of the scientific team, Dr. Chiba (voiced by Megumi Hayashibara), races to find the missing device, with the help of detective Toshimi Konakawa (Akio Ohtsuka). Meanwhile Konakawa is receiving
his own dream therapy from Paprika, a red-sneakered pixie girl who doesn’t seem to exist in the same reality as everyone else. In fact, she appears to be the dream alter-ego of Dr. Chiba. While the scientist is an analytical ice queen, Paprika is saucy, reckless and flirtatious — Tinker Bell on Cinemax. It will take both sides of Chiba’s psyche to keep dreams from swamping the waking world. Those are the bare bones of the film’s plot, which mutates as rapidly and inventively as its images. The animation, created by Madhouse Studios, sometimes looks like a standard sci-fi anime on hallucinogens, with Paprika zipping around like a perverse superheroine. Other images have a pictorial, watercolor quality, while the background cityscapes look like photographs, giving the apocalyptic story an unsettling shot of realism. Though some of the philosophical conversations among the scientists drag, the dream sequences — which dominate the movie more and more as it progresses — are never dull. Why not? Maybe because Kon has the common — but valid — insight that movies have already invaded people’s dream lives. Rather than an illogical soup of symbols, the detective’s dreams are a series of clips from different movie genres — mystery, action, romance. The film is filled with visual details that recall real movies: the talking dolls that welcome their creator home in Blade Runner, the sinister bartender from The Shining. But it’s impossible to call a movie like Paprika derivative, except insofar as it’s clearly an outgrowth of the whole “head trip” school of science
fiction, from Philip K. Dick to David Cronenberg. Even the parts that don’t make a whole lot of oldfashioned story sense still work on a deeper level. For instance, with Paprika’s help, the detective discovers that he doesn’t have to sleep to access the dream world — he can just go to her website, radioclub.jp. (Don’t bother to try this at home, unless you can read Japanese.) The Internet is similar to our dreams, Paprika explains, because both allow us to “vent” our unspoken desires. The scientists of Paprika try to use technology to control our dreams. But the film suggests things could be the other way around. The more technology advances, allowing us to bypass face-to-face communication with folks who might fine us a quarter for our ramblings, the more our dreams control us. MARGOT HARRISON

Get a ‘Cue Pigging out at Windsor’s 7th annual Barbecue Championship by SUZANNE PODHAIZER
“

ome ’n’ get a deep-fried biscuit,” a man’s voice boomed over the crowd. He sounded fatherly, perhaps a bit rotund. But the pastry pusher turned out to be a muscular tough guy wearing Harley Davidson leather and a do-rag. “Get one with honey butter,” he suggested. The hot, sweet liquid seeped out of the biscuit, turning fingers into a sticky mess. Underneath the honey flavor was a distinct note of Pillsbury-ness. “Are the biscuits homemade?” a passerby asked the woman who took her dollar. “Are you kidding?” the seller replied. “We don’t want to kill ourselves here.” But that’s more or less What they did at last weekend’s 7th Annual Barbecue Championship at the Harpoon Brewery in Windsor. Behind every one of the 42 competing teams was a pitmaster who spent the weekend sweating over blistering hot grills and smokers, purportedly loving every minute of it. They’d poured money into hundreds of pounds of meat, driven from points all over New England, and slept fitfully in tents as their briskets smoked nearby. The Green Mountain event is sanctioned by the 6000-member Kansas City Barbecue Society, which claims on its website to be the world’s largest “organization of barbecue and grilling enthusiasts.”
How do you join? A $35 check and a vow to “faithfully uphold the tenets for a barbecue fanatic. I will cook and/or eat as much barbecue as the law allows, while having as much fun as possible.”

towns such as Vershire, Lake Elmore and Braintree. But geography turned out to be immaterial: Whether or not the winning team was composed of Vermont residents — they could be from New Hampshire,
of all places — its members would be declared the Vermont state barbecuing champs. Throughout the weekend, participants were judged in eight categories, including pork ribs, chicken wings and sausage. “Where else can you sit in the middle of a field, rub your meat and get judged on it?” mused Bob Depot of Narragansett, Rhode Island’s Anchormen. Like most folks there, Depot said he viewed cooking ’cue as a hobby, not a vocation. “Some people like to golf; we like to barbecue,” he explained. “It’s just different boys with different toys.” And serious as they were about their sausages, the cookers also seemed to share an irreverent sense of humor. One booth, manned by a team called Burnt Offerings, claimed it had the “best butt in New England.” Another crew >> 0 B

— the heat drowned out the unique flavor. The eggs were better straight up. The chunks of award-winning beef were tender, saucy and satisfying, and the focaccia was a nice change of pace from the standard-issue burger buns other folks were using. Neither the stakes, nor the conditions, had dampened Mame’s spirits. “People have to get along well together when they’ve slept on the ground for a day or two,” she said. “It’s a lot of work.” That attitude appears to be a prevailing one. “It’s a competition, but people share back and forth,” explained Mame. If you want to know the secret to your neighbor’s
But Colby and Sargent aim to produce better barbecue with an eye toward the environment. In addition to their day jobs, they own a small-scale farm called Howling Wolf. “It’s a dream of ours to win with brisket that we raised. It closes the loop,” Colby explained. Sargent chimed in, “We’re total carnivores, but we want animals to be darn happy before they’re eaten.” For now, since they don’t raise enough animals to use for competition, they get their flesh locally through The Royal Butcher in Braintree. Aunt Mame and Uncle Hank McKee rounded out the Howling Hogs. Hank took care of the ribs, while Mame, a potter by trade, helped make the mouthwatering brownies and cookies prominently displayed at the booth. She dished up generous portions of food to hungry takers, and talked up the HH’s most unusual specialty: smoked hard-boiled eggs. The eggs were tan and had a delicate, smoky flavor. Although Hank encouraged the use of hot sauce — and was offering at least eight different brands
sauce, all you need to do is ask. “They’ll tell you everything in their recipe and how they do it.” The crowds are eating it up, anyway. According to Liz Melby, Harpoon’s director of communications, about 1500 more people attended the festival this year than in 2006. To what does she attribute the event’s success? “People are learning to appreciate the quality and fine cuisine of barbecue as well as that of beer,” Melby said. While both the brew and the ’cue maintain a kind of “everyman” appeal, Melby hopes “this event will elevate the status of both in people’s minds.” As the day wound down, and the judges emptied container after Styrofoam container, tired teams began closing up shop. Sticky patrons, stuffed to the gills, ambled toward their cars. The weekend’s big winner: team Lunchmeat from Rockland, Massachusetts. Let’s hope next year the Howling Hogs, or another Vermont team, takes home the grand prize. The world may know us for maple syrup and granola, but ’round here the ribs are mighty fine. >

Another crew called themselves the Porkaholics. The competition resembled a smoked-meat-scented, foodcentric version of a state fair. The crowd ran the gamut from chubby babies in strollers to deeply tanned, whip-thin women with belly piercings and tattoos. In one corner of the venue was a strongman contest, where guys strained to purple while lifting monster tires attached to a metal bar. At the other end, folks lined up to taste Harpoon’s draft beers and listen to first-rate
ket, baked beans and salad with homemade focaccia cost $10. The team’s fifth-place ribbon in the brisket category was the best kind of advertisement. For a competitive BBQ team, the Howling Hogs were a little unorthodox. The team was headed by Jenn Colby, an employee of the Center for Sustainable Agriculture at the University of Vermont, and her husband Chris Sargent, a planner at the Two Rivers-Ottauquechee Regional Commission in Woodstock — the type of folks you might expect to be focusing their efforts on, say, heirloom tomatoes instead of good-ol’-boy fare.

rock covers by a group called Wherehouse. Wandering up and down the midway to the strains of Ben Harper’s “Steal My Kisses,” it was tough not to get overwhelmed by the barbecue boosters who noisily encouraged passersby to sample the “hawg wings,” pieces of pork shank cooked like buffalo wings, and caramelized grilled corn. While not all the teams were allowed to vend, a bunch did. And that turned out to be important. Some people in the crowd were aficionados, but the regular folks were only mildly interested in who won the competition — they’d never heard of Yabba Dabba Que or the Bastey Boys. What they really wanted was to get their fill of the saucy stuff, and maybe buy a few bottles o’ dry rub to take home. It was hard to decide what to try, and the prices didn’t give you any clues to quality. Across the board, single ribs ran around $3, while overflowing piles of shredded meat atop hamburger buns were typically $5. At Howling Hog Barbecue of East Randolph, a hefty plate of bris-

Salomon Splits FOOD WRITER’S FENNEL FANTASY IS FULFILLED — BUT NOT FOR HER
Jay Vogler wants to make food writer Debbie Salomon’s dreams come true. In a July 24 column in the The Burlington Free Press entitled “Fennel: The Last Frontier,” Salomon explains how she’s come to enjoy the anise-flavored vegetable she long thought she hated. Why did she blow off the bulbous veg? Because of an aversion to its flavor relations, “licorice and root beer.” After discovering her fennel affinity via a fancy sandwich, Salomon’s got a new “dream dish.” In her column, she fantasizes about a “fennel-topped pizza from Jay Vogler’s Pizza on Earth in Charlotte.”
of processes in which food is broken down into components and re-formed. At a recent specialty dinner, he paired a serving of tender sea bass with carrot-ginger foam and beet syrup. Another unusual offering: a lamb mousseline “lollipop” alongside a terrine of wild mushrooms and corn. According to Chef Timms, a good meal should be like “sex on a plate.” For a little foreplay, check out his menu at www.vermontnational.com.
Unbeatable Eats
Goin’ Clubbing VERMONT NATIONAL FEEDS THE PLEBES
Can’t scrape up enough money to join the Vermont National Country Club in South Burlington? That doesn’t mean you can’t dine there. The VNCC has a new star chef, Mark Timms, and he’s cooking up lunches and Sunday brunches that are open to the public. Early next year, he hopes to open dinner to non-members, too. Timms, who was featured in the International Who’s Who of Chefs book in 2004 and won an Iron Chef competition in Atlanta earlier this year, moved to Vermont with his family for the quality of life. He’s coming to appreciate the quality of food, too. “People in Vermont give a damn about what they eat,” Timms exclaims. “From maple syrup to beets to beef, it’s great.” What are we missing? A dose of glitz and glamour, Timms thinks. “When you eat, for that moment you should be transported away from your life and your troubles,” he opines. Which tastes are transporting? At brunch, Timms plans to offer an oyster bar, sushi station and selection of artisanal cheeses, along with the more conventional eggs Benedict and French toast. Pastry chef Marsha Hyatt will make the desserts. The buffet will run $21.95 for adults and $10.95 for youngsters. The lunch menu, on the other hand, is filled with comfort food, such as chickennoodle-and-matzo-ball soup and a Southern-fried chicken sandwich. Timms is also experimenting with molecular gastronomy, a hot trend in big cities that has barely made a mark in New England. It’s a series

COOKING COMPETITION GETS CATTY
Last week, teams from three Addison County restaurants went tête-à-tête in an Iron Chef-style competition. They vied for a prestigious title: “Top Chef of Addison County.” With a trusty trio composed of Head Chef Mark LaRiviere, brewer Ron Cotti and 17-year-old kitchen whiz kid Fianna Barrows, the Bobcat Café’s team was declared the winner. Their competition came from the Basin Harbor Club, which hosted the event, and the Swift House Inn. How did Bobcat take the crown? By putting the secret ingredients, cherries and plums, to good use in both an appetizer and an entrée. Their app was a pan-fried egg roll stuffed with ground turkey and cherries, accompanied by a plum-ginger-cherry dipping sauce. The entrée: dill-rubbed salmon with a citrus-plum-cherry relish served with herb-roasted potatoes and wilted spinach.
Radio Redo Although he doesn’t subscribe to the Gannettowned paper, Vogler heard of the mention from a friend and responded by inventing just such a pizza. “Fennel’s a nice topping for this time of year,” he says. The “Debbie” will be a white pizza covered in “garlic oil-braised fennel with some onions, kalamata olives, parmesan and mozzarella.” The question is, will Salomon be able to taste her namesake flatbread? Not likely. When Vogler emailed her to thank her for the nod, he learned that she recently relocated from Montréal to Asheville, North Carolina. There, Salomon’s a correspondent for the Asheville Citizen-Times, but still pens pieces for the Freeps. Too bad she’s not in town. If she were, she’d be able to wash down a slice of “Debbie” with some delicious, homebrewed soda from Rookie’s Root Beer. Then it would be down to the licorice.
a cosmopolitan experience
BURLINGTON CONVENIENCE STORE GETS A MAKEOVER
Burlington’s Radio Deli on Pearl Street changed hands last March, but for people who don’t live in that ’hood, the news is just getting around now. According to Pam Scanlon, who owns the place with her partner Michael Niederer, “We wanted to get in there for a few months before we started making overtures to the community.” In some respects, the duo was already “in there.” They’ve lived in an apartment above the store for the past four years and were regular customers. But now that they’ve had time to “clean, stock and evaluate,” they’ve started to make some changes. One goal: to carry more grocery items and staples for the folks who live in the neighborhood. The first step was adding some fresh fruit. “We started with bananas, but now we’ve got mangoes, nectarines, cherries and plums,” Scanlon says. “It’s nice to see little kids buying cherries instead of candy.” What else is new? Specialty wraps and sandwiches, like a number that pairs hummus with sun-dried tomatoes, fresh basil and sweet peppers. There’s also a tomato-basil-mozzarella sandwich drizzled with balsamic dressing, and a cranberry walnut chicken salad. The couple, who both teach computer courses at CCV, are looking to expand the catering side of the business. You know you’re doing something right, Scanlon boasts, when an employee of the Department of Health asks you to cater his event. What is the deli’s old owner up to? Louie Manno, formerly of the Manno and Condon radio show, is looking to move his creative efforts to the boob tube. “I’m doing some television work, and I’m writing some treatments for food-related shows,” he explains. Like what? “I don’t have a fully formed idea, but I want to come up with something that brings out people’s natural proclivity to cook. Cooking is a way of communicating,” says Manno. “A lot of cooking shows are really regimented. I want to put together a show that encourages people to experiment more.” While he has a few serious pilots out on the Web, there’s also a funny foodie film called Luncheon Meat. The half-hour bit spoofs Ken Burns’ ultra-serious documentary style. It’s available on veoh.com and rever.com. If the TV thing doesn’t work out, Manno’s always got his famous meatballs. He sold Radio Deli’s other recipes along with the business. Scanlon and Niederer license the meatball magic.

ost people go to therapy to deal with their daddy issues or to improve a troubled relationship. In the movie No Reservations, Kate, the main character and head chef at a trendy New York restaurant, goes to therapy so she can discuss her philosophy on the proper preparation of quails or try out a sexy new scallop recipe on a captive audience of one. She doesn’t want to sleep with her shrink — he’s played by the quirky Bob Balaban, after all — she just wants to cook for him. And she goes to see him because her boss, Paula, has threatened to fire her if she doesn’t. Why? Her tendency to march into the dining room and harangue any customer who dares complain about the food. This summer, moviegoers have been fed a thin but steady stream of films that go for the heartstrings via the stomach: Waitress, Ratatouille and now No Reservations, a remake of the 2001 German movie called Mostly Martha. The mere fact that an American studio saw fit to rework a small German film just five years after its release is a testament to the public’s growing appetite for foodie flicks. Once relegated to art-house status, movies such as Big Night, Babette’s Feast and Eat, Drink, Man, Woman — and Mostly Martha — explore the transformative power of food. That message must have been considered too high-brow for anyone
other than Gourmet subscribers. Nowadays, though, as regular Joes tune in to Bravo’s Top Chef and brag about their Viking ranges, a rom com with a side of steak has mass appeal. Hence a remake of Mostly Martha, complete with swooping “food porn” shots and a couple of sexy actors in the lead roles. Unfortunately, the Hollywood remake doesn’t go down as well as the original.
Kate’s income bracket are far more likely to opt for voicemail or cellphones, but as with much else in the film, the lonely “beep . . . you have no new messages” is used for effect. Kate’s solitary existence is soon interrupted by the untimely death of her sister, which leaves her responsible for her 8-year-old niece, Zoe (Abigail Breslin of Little Miss Sunshine). She needs time off to care for
No Reservations takes more than a little poetic license with its setting. No real chef would stop work during the dinner rush to imitate Pavarotti. In No Reservations, Kate (Catherine Zeta-Jones) is a perfectionist and a control freak. Because people can’t be managed and manipulated like stuffed lobsters, she’s cut herself off from them. Kate hasn’t been in a romantic relationship for years, she confesses. During “family meal” — when a restaurant’s staff comes together to eat before customers arrive for dinner — she does the New York Times crossword puzzle rather than gossip and laugh with her co-workers. Night after night, she arrives home to a poignantly empty answering machine. Nowadays, people in
her new charge, and restaurantowner Paula, portrayed by the convincing Patricia Clarkson, hires a wacky new chef to take up the slack. Needless to say, Kate struggles with her new role as parental unit and resists the kitchen encroachment. Meanwhile, though, she begins to fall for the relaxed, croc-wearing sous-chef, Nick (Aaron Eckhart). Breslin’s Zoe is adorable, whether her big blue eyes are filling with tears or she’s saying just the right thing. “You’re trying too hard,” she explains helpfully to Kate. And “You’re not doing everything wrong,”

when Kate briefly despairs of juggling the demands of working motherhood. The character is saccharine, when she should be bracingly sweet. The original German film, Mostly Martha, is more complex and understated. In both versions, though, almost all of the character growth takes place over food. Unsure how to bond with her niece, Kate/Martha gives her the form of nurturance she understands best — which, in the American film, includes a fish with its head still on. No wonder the kid scarfs down a bowl of Nick’s pasta on her first visit to the restaurant’s kitchen. In the end, though, food does warm the souls of these characters. Zoe gains confidence and remembers how to smile when she accompanies Kate to the restaurant and begins to learn to cook. She bonds with Nick over the aforementioned noodles. And of course, Nick and Kate get cozy over a Tupperware container of his homemade tiramisu. In Mostly Martha, it took more than a few great meals to create a family. But the American version removes its harder questions — like whether the workaholic chef really can or should take on this responsibility. (The niece in Mostly Martha has a dad, albeit an estranged one, and hence another potential guardian.) In No Reservations, Kate tearily reads aloud a letter from her sister, written soon after the girl’s birth, in which the now-deceased woman explains that Kate is the only one who could possibly raise Zoe in the event of her death. How convenient — now it’s a foregone conclusion that the ßber-chef has to learn how to be an ßber-mom, too. And the script hastens us on to Kate’s all-important romantic intrigue with her tousled and cheerful sous-chef. As you’d expect in a romantic comedy, Kate doesn’t take to Nick right away. She’s affronted that he was hired without her say-so, and fears that he’ll try to usurp her hard-won role as head chef. To make matters worse,
the rest of the staff eats up his laid-back approach in the kitchen, which only serves to make Kate feel more like the drill sergeant she is. Here’s where No Reservations takes more than a little poetic license with its setting. No real chef would stop work during the dinner rush to imitate Pavarotti. Inevitably, the two opposites are drawn together. Nick scores points by having the patience to teach Zoe some basics. It’s not long before she professes to “prefer Italian,� Nick’s cuisine of choice, to the truffled birds
it from his finger — the most sensual one does involve food, namely a pot of stock and a blindfold. The cheesy dialogue spoils it, though. Nick says, with all the wisdom of a Harlequin romance, “It’s OK to let people in sometimes.� Thanks. Using food as a metaphor for human affairs is an old literary device, but in this script, it’s like being slapped across the face with a raw steak. Kate reflects, “I wish there was a cookbook for life,� to which her unnamed therapist replies,

and seared scallops with saffron sauce that are Kate’s specialties. When Zoe coerces Kate into inviting Nick for dinner on a day off, the two “kids� force the uptight chef to relax while they hand-stretch dough for pizza. The trio eat with their fingers, “safari style,� in a tent amid Zoe’s stuffed animals, followed by a rousing game of pickup-sticks played with skinny breadsticks. That night, when Zoe falls asleep, it’s Nick who tucks her in. Once the child is asleep, it’s time to work on getting Kate into bed, albeit in a less innocent fashion. Although many of the romantic moments seem contrived — as when Kate gets a bit of tiramisu on her face and Nick wipes it off, then licks
“It’s the recipes you create yourself that are the best.� Ultimately, No Reservations isn’t an accurate measure of the country’s appetite for culinary cinema, because it’s more junk food than haute cuisine. Perhaps a better indicator is the fact that Ratatouille — a far superior food movie — has raked in more money so far than testosterone-fest Live Free or Die Hard. To be fair, though, I might have enjoyed the movie more if I hadn’t seen Mostly Martha first. Where the German film is quiet and restrained, allowing the audience to plumb their own emotions, the American movie hands the details to us on a pretty, but predictable, platter. >

What could possibly be written about
Emmylou Harris that hasn’t already been said a thousand times? That’s not a rhetorical question — we’d really like to know. She owns 11 Grammy awards. Her list of collaborators reads like a Who’s Who of modern music icons. Oh, and she helped form country-rock as we know it with genre godfather Gram Parsons. Anything else? Who cares. All you need to know is that the woman is a country goddess whose work across style boundaries is as vital and relevant now as it was when she and Gram were sweeping out the ashes more than 30 years ago. See for yourself this Monday as Harris performs on The Green at Shelburne Museum with local folk-singer
Anaïs Mitchell.

BY DAN BOLLES
RUNNIN’ ON DUNKIN’
One of the best things about this job is being able to go to virtually any local concert I want. Except for Bob Dylan. But I can’t really blame the guy. If I were Dylan, I’m not sure I’d want me at the concert, either. Iconic snubs aside, getting paid to see live music is pretty sweet. For example, this weekend, I’m heading to the Dunkin’ Donuts Newport Folk Festival to check in with globetrotting Grace Potter and the Nocturnals and sip some Turbo Iced coffees. While I’m there, I’m hoping that I’ll run into Waltham, Vermont, native Adam Popick. The Berklee trained multi-instrumentalist plays bass with Bostonbased singer-songwriter — and current Berklee student — Madi Diaz, who is opening for Linda Ronstadt on Friday night. While a host of Berklee alums have graced the stage in Newport — including Melissa Ferrick, Bruce Cockburn, Gillian Welch and David Rawlings — Diaz is the first current Berklee student to play the festival while still in school. While that’s quite an honor, Popick is hardly one to ride on another’s coattails. In addition to his duties backing up Diaz, which take him all over the country, Popick is one of the most in-demand musicians in Beantown, and he’s just started his own label, OutTake Records. Not bad for a guy from Addison County, eh?

such locales as New York City, Oxford (Mississippi), New Orleans, Dallas and Austin. No word yet on who’ll hold court at Radio Bean for Honky Tonk Tuesday, but methinks a local ringer or two might be subbing in Hughes’ absence. Has anyone seen Neil Cleary around lately?
LEXUS NEXUS You’ve probably never heard of Nexus Artist Management. Until a few days ago, I hadn’t. But Chris Pattison and Justin Remillard — better known as the driving force behind the “Sanctuary” electronica series at Club Metronome — have been some busy dudes of late. In addition to their typical business of managing the world’s finest cutting-edge electronica and breakbeat artists — from their office in Burlington, no less — the dynamic duo has just announced a partnership with XM Satellite Radio and Thump Radio to feature music from Nexus’ formidable roster of talent. That includes local spin-meister Craig Mitchell and Adam-X, Simply Jeff, Cereal Killaz and Far Too Loud. Catch the show the first Monday of each month at 3 p.m. on XM Radio Channel 80.
AND JUSTICE FOR ALL I just received word that jazz-grass god Gordon Stone was able to recover his 1977 Stelling Bellflower banjo which was stolen from his van in Norwalk, Connecticut in late May. No word yet as to whether the rest of his gear was found — the thieves made off with a veritable treasure trove of gear — but the banjo is a classic and was virtually irreplaceable. Nor have I heard what became of the thieves, but karma being the consummate avenger that it is, I imagine they’ll be dealt with appropriately. And by “appropriately,” I obviously mean “in a secret CIA prison.”
you feel sad in a good way. It’s a cool trick and I highly recommend you check it out.
NAME THAT TUNE, ER, PAGE Regular readers are likely aware that we’ve recently replaced the longrunning Pop 10 feature in this section with a random assortment of music-related goodies. The more astute among you may have noticed that we still haven’t named it. Sorry. Honestly, we’ve been trying hard to come up with a moniker that reflects the unpredictable nature of the space, but with little success. As it stands now, we blandly refer to it as “The Hole.” Seriously, that’s the best we can do. But I have a feeling that you, beloved snarky readers, can come up with something much better. Judging by some of the names many of you have called me in recent weeks, it’s obvious that your creative powers are up to the task. So here’s what we’re gonna do. Over the course of the next week — but maybe longer if you guys don’t step up to the plate — we’ll be taking submissions to christen the new space in Section B. Much like The Be Sharps from “The Simpsons,” the name should be witty at first and then seem less funny every time you hear it. Kind of like “Sound Bites” — ahem. In any event, send submissions to dan@sevendaysvt.com or chime in on the Solid State blog at http://7d.blogs.com/solidstate. The winning submission will receive — drum roll, please! — a spiffy new Seven Days T-shirt.

HAPPY TRAILS Chrome Cowboys honcho Brett Hughes is saddling up his ’83 biodiesel Benz and riding off into the sunset — temporarily — with New Orleans-based songstress Shannon McNally. The pair will perform as a duo to get things started on September 6 with jam-grass outfit Railroad Earth at the Higher Ground Ballroom. Then they’ll head to
Fans of “sad-bastard” music will want to be at 1/2 Lounge this Monday as Matt Boyer, better known as the guitarist for Mark Kozelek’s gloomy side project Sun Kil Moon, swings through town on a rare solo tour. Unless you read the Seven Days club listings very closely — and you should — you might have missed this sweet little show, as it’s tucked into an otherwise routine Monday night. That would have been tragic. But what am I here for if not to guide you through the wasteland of open mikes and karaoke nights that grace many of our local venues on a weekly basis? That’s not rhetorical. I really need to know. Anyway, Boyer’s solo work is akin to his bandmate’s brand of ambient Americana, but with a slight pop infusion that helps to lighten the mood . . . a little. He also shares Kozelek’s innate ability to make

04 SOMETHING’S FISHY :: Do you like funk? Listen to Fishbone. How about ska? Listen to Fishbone. Punk? Metal? Rock? Listen to Fishbone. The Los Angeles-based septet has been toying with conventional genre rules since 1979, and nobody does it better. Emerging from the same scene as Red Hot Chili Peppers and Jane’s Addiction, they’ve been piling up accolades and accomplishments for more than two decades, perhaps none cooler than appearing as a backing band in Kennon Ivory Wayans classic blaxploitation spoof, I’m Gonna Git You Sucka. Seriously, that’s awesome. Git these suckas this Saturday at the Northeast Kingdom Music Festival.

reviewthis SHOUT OUT OUT OUT OUT, NOT SAYING/JUST SAYING
GRACE POTTER AND THE NOCTURNALS, THIS IS SOMEWHERE
(Normals Welcome Records, CD)
To say This Is Somewhere is a triumphant new recording from Grace Potter and the Nocturnals is a bit of an understatement. In a nutshell, the band’s majorlabel debut is the best musical project I’ve heard in quite some time. For frequent GPN listeners, it’s all here: Grace’s Potter’s gorgeous voice and gifted wordsmithing, honed by months of touring and experimentation on the road; Matt Burr’s straight-ahead drumming; guitarist Scott Tournet’s remarkable guitar work and bassist Bryan Dondero’s tasty low-end sonic foundation. Consider “Ah Mary,” the gutsiest opening tune I’ve heard on a CD in recent memory. At first listen, it’s about a gal with a wrecking ball of a personality — “She’ll bake you cookies and then she’ll burn your tongue.” But, if you pay attention, the song is actually a scathing critique of the United States of “AhMaryCa”: “Call her a bully and she’ll blow up your whole damn playground.” What’s the motivation? “Until this point, I’d never written a political song,” explains Grace. “I wasn’t angry enough . . . but that changed, obviously. I began to feel that the time was right, and out came ‘Ah Mary’ — Mary sure does have her issues.” Indeed. And that’s just the first tune. Check out “Stop the Bus,” with its wailing blues harp and Potter’s hypnotic vocalizing, backed by Tournet’s delicious guitar licks. Equally impressive are the oh-so-hooky “Mr. Columbus” and the stunning old GPN standard “Apologies” — a beautiful ballad about a love’s collapse. As it proceeds, the disc gathers more and more steam. The radio-friendly “Mastermind” is a bluesy barnyard stomp that rates high on the rollicking scale. “Here’s to the Meantime” has the best turn of phrase on a CD full of ’em: “If the devil made a fire, you’d be the wood.” Nice. Finally, “Big White Gate” ties the whole project together with a philosophically transcendent love-in, as if at the edge of heaven itself. If this album doesn’t put Grace Potter and the Nocturnals on the national musical map, I’ll eat my mandolin pick. The world needs more music like this: intelligent, soulful, honest and, ultimately, hopeful. This Is Somewhere hits stores this Tuesday.
Just the other day I was saying to myself, “Self, what the world really needs is a dance-pop electronica band, fronted by Stephen Hawking singing delightfully awkward adolescent lyrics.” I thought about it for a moment and realized that no one, especially not Stephen Hawking, would be so audacious — or silly — to ever make my electro-dream a reality. I went to sleep that night having reconciled with the fact that some ideas are just too far ahead of their time to be appreciated. In the hours between R.E.M. — the sleep phase, not the band — and awakening, I dreamt of the cosmos churning and bubbling while Hawking battled Ming the Merciless in a flying space-wheelchair. It was pretty rad. When I arrived at work later that day, I discovered that someone — maybe Hawking? — had left a copy of Not Saying/Just Saying, the debut album from Canada’s Shout Out Out Out Out. Weird. Composed of four bass players, five synthesizers, two drummers, two samplers and two vocoders, SOOOO’s lineup is a tech-geek’s wet dream. The sound created by this unwieldy setup is unabashedly dorky; it’s the kind of stuff you’d want to listen to while playing World of Warcraft in your mom’s basement. On a Saturday night. In your underwear. But it’s also undeniably catchy and danceable, to the point that you might think about taking a shower, heading out to a club, and dancing with some real live chicks. Maybe. Blending elements of disco-house with punk rock and electronica, Shout Out Out Out Out is at times reminiscent of The Go! Team — minus the high school cheerleader vibe. Or, in keeping with a theme, the sonic sci-fi brilliance of Man Or Astroman? Using vocoders to deliver some of the most deliciously juvenile lyrics this side of James Kochalka — especially on “Self Loathing Rulz” and “Procrastinator’s Fight Song” — one gets the impression that this is the sort of music The Transformers might have made as teenagers on Cybertron. Seriously. Not Saying/Just Saying is punk rock for nerds — check out track 9, “Chicken Soup for the Fuck You.” It’s also techno for malcontents: track 3, “Your Shitty Record Won’t Mix Itself.” And it’s dance music for wallflowers: track 10, “Do I Stutter?” But mostly, it’s good music for people who enjoy irreverence and are unafraid of their inner geek. If you enjoyed The Mathematicians at this year’s Discover Jazz Block Party, do yourself a favor and head over to the Higher Ground Showcase Lounge this Wednesday, August 1, and catch SOOOO at the Fantastic $4 Band Night with Panda Watch and DJK. And that’s the real deal.

ANDY PALACIO & THE GARIFUNA COLLECTIVE Thursday, August 2, at Higher Ground Showcase Lounge, South Burlington, 7:30 p.m. $10/12. BY DAN BOLLES
J
acob Edgar leads a charmed life. For the last eight years, the Vermont-native ethnomusicologist was the head of music research and product development for Putumayo World Music, an independent record label known for exposing the planet’s best and brightest world-music artists on a global stage. His travels took him far and wide and, over the years, Edgar frequently encountered performers he felt deserved wider recognition. So he formed his own label, Cumbancha, as a response. Headquartered at the famed Charles Eller Studios in Charlotte, the upstart label has partnered with Putumayo for distribution and has the ability to deliver its releases to more than 60 countries throughout the world. And Edgar can continue to travel the world seeking new talent for both labels. Not a bad gig. Beginning this Thursday, the two labels team up again — this time with Seven Days and at the Higher Ground Showcase Lounge — to present The Putumayo and Cumbancha World Music Series featuring Belizean songwriter Andy Palacio and the Garifuna Collective. The Garifuna people are a unique hybrid of West African and Carib cultures spread throughout the Caribbean coast of Central America. Like many indigenous peoples in the developing world, their traditions and language are facing extinction in the face of modernization. Andy Palacio has a mind to reverse that trend through music by exploring the deeper soul and rhythms of his ancestors. His latest album, Wátina, has garnered worldwide acclaim and helped to renew interest in the dying Garifuna culture. Like Garifuna culture and language itself, Palacio’s music is a stunning blend of African and Caribbean influences yet has a lilting feel and authenticity all its own. Wátina is currently number one on the World Music Chart in Europe. Seven Days recently spoke to Palacio over the phone from his home in Belize. SEVEN DAYS: You got your start playing Punta music and were very successful in Belize prior to focusing on Garifuna roots music. Has that helped raise the profile of what you’re doing now? ANDY PALACIO: Absolutely. I had actually made attempts earlier to expose the diversity of Garifuna music in other media. In 1999 we did The Paranda Project. It was an attempt to document an art form that was in a way endangered because the main practitioners were all from an older generation.
THE
SD: How has Wátina helped to re-invigorate younger generations’ interest in Garifuna culture? AP: If you look at it as an ethnic minority, the similarities between us and other ethnic minorities come into sharp focus. It takes a toll on one’s self-esteem, especially for this younger generation. We have to come up with something that is able to boost that sense of pride and have a positive effect on the culture. Wátina has had the effect of reconnecting that generation with their roots. SD: You brought in Garifuna artists from all over the Caribbean and Latin America to record Wátina. It seems this approach is an apt reflection of the origins of the culture itself. AP: Garifuna has been characterized as a nation across borders, and that’s just the experience we live. My Garifuna brothers and sisters come from Honduras and Guatemala and all over the Caribbean and Latin America. Our culture supersedes our colonial or political differences. So that had to be reflected in this collaboration. That was very important. SD: The word “wátina” is Garifuna for “I call out.” Is this a call to the world or more specifically to the Garifuna people? AP: On one level it is a reflection of the difficulty of ordinary man trying to get from point A to point B. Wanting a ride, so to speak. Or sympathy from everybody passing by. On another level it’s about the Garifuna people shouting out to the world, saying, “We are here” and we have a culture to share. Don’t pass us by. SD: Your early influences were fairly conventional North American and reggae music. How did your interest veer towards what you’re doing now? AP: It was at the point where I recognized the threat to our culture. In the early ’80s, my commitment changed to prevent the disconnect of the Garifuna people from their culture and focus more on what was ours than what was imported from abroad. SD: What would you like American audiences to take away from your performances? AP: I think it would have to be the discovery of a component of the Americas that is totally new. It’s easy to assume that all people of African descent in the Americas have been enslaved. Or that all people of African descent speak the language of one of the colonizing countries. But to find that, somewhere within all of that, that we exist with our unique characteristics should be interesting to people.

IT’S A BOY!:: According to his press release, Dirty Dozen Brass Band guitarist Jamie McLean sounds like the bastard child of Van Morrison and Keith Richards. Given both artists’ notorious proclivity for libidinous libation, it’s not such a stretch to imagine that, at some point — likely in the ’70s — Morrison and Richards drunkenly attempted to conceive such a child. Anatomical improbabilities aside, McLean is as likely as anyone to have been their offspring. Calling on a wealth of blues, soul and rock knowledge acquired in his hometown of New Orleans, his solo work brims with vigor and intensity reminiscent of early Allman Brothers or Black Crowes.

peace be with you At 8:15 a.m. on August 6, 1945, the U.S. dropped an atomic bomb on the Japanese city of Hiroshima. Three days later, a similar bomb fell on Nagasaki, launching the nuclear age. Four days of statewide events commemorate the 62nd anniversary of both bombings. On Monday, a familyfriendly celebration in Montpelier emphasizes the power of peace, and a vigil in Burlington marks the fall of the Hiroshima bomb. A similar vigil in Middlebury launches walkers on the first of three day-long journeys up Route 7. Led by a Japanese Buddhist nun, the walking protest focuses on the Vermont Yankee plant. Monday through Wednesday, strollers on Burlington’s Church Street can fold origami paper cranes as symbols of peace. An August 9 vigil in Burlington remembers the Nagasaki bombing, and later that day the Burlington Friends’ Meeting House hosts a screening of a classic anti-nuke film. Silent Vigil

scene@ MIAMI VICE CRUISE THE SPIRIT OF ETHAN ALLEN, BURLINGTON, FRIDAY, JULY 27, 11 P.M.
pHoTo: MATTHEW THoRSEN
The young, glamorously dressed crowd pressing toward the gangway paused when a suited, tattooed gent at the narrow gate raised his voice. “Listen up, folks. If you are under 21, sell your ticket now. You will not get on the boat.” Behind me, multiple voices chimed, “Um, interested!” meaning they were in the market for a way into Lotus Entertainment’s sold-out “Miami Vice” theme party cruise. The man continued, “If you have any drugs or weapons, you will not be getting on the boat.” Wow, this really does feel like Miami, I thought, watching folks ahead of me getting gently frisked. The illusion intensified inside, after I got an eyeful of the number of white jackets aboard. Some guys had gone the gray-tone gangster route, but there were a few linen suits, and also a serious effort at mimicking the TV show’s trademark Armani-jacket-over-T-shirt look. Panama hats popped up here and there, on ladies, too. One guy even had a leather shoulder holster — empty, thankfully. In addition to launching pastel fashion trends shepherded by the show’s style consultant, Gianni Versace, the flamboyant detectives of “Miami Vice” fought crime in MTV-mode 20 years ago. A starstudded roster of ’80s rock groups — including The Police and Peter Gabriel — contributed tunes to the hip soundtrack. The music may have been different on the Spirit of Ethan Allen, but it was still what people wanted to hear: Lotus Entertainment, a Burlington-based production company of hip-hop music and events, hosted the floating fest as a thank-you to business interests (I stumbled across their VIP lounge near the second-floor bow around midnight), but then decided to open the party to the public as well. DJ Fattie B. greeted guests as they boarded the boat, pointing them toward the bar and then ramping up the hip-hop vibe. Ladies clad in short, sequined dresses filled the dance floor to bust some moves. If the guys had taken detective-chic as their model for getting gussied up, most of the gals went the sassy streetwalker route in ruffled miniskirts or gold lamé hot pants and stiletto heels. Once the boat had eased out onto Lake Champlain, the music paused for a recording that reviewed the location of lifejackets. But for the rest of the night, Fattie B., Craig Mitchell and DJ A-Dog took turns at the wheels of steel amid clouds of dry ice, and guests mingled or mugged for the camera in a prom-style photo set-up, complete with balloons. All in all, the $13 tickets seemed like a pretty good deal. It was about 1:30 a.m. by the time the boat docked, and I was partied out. MEGHAN DEWALD

STRING FEVER
Open 24/7/365.
Superstardom hasn’t always meant Madonna. Niccolo Paganini and his musical heirs made virtuoso violin playing the late-18th-century equivalent of rock celebrity, and classical composers of the day wrote some of their most innovative works for the kings of the strings. Nowadays, members of that royalty aren’t always male: The Vermont Mozart Festival wraps up three weeks of virtuosi with an August 3 concert featuring violinist Harumi Rhodes and flutist Jennifer Grim. The program? All Vivaldi, including a full performance of his violin-concerti collection The Four Seasons. Rhodes follows up with a concerto by Beethoven the next day; then an August 5 “royal encore” concert with fireworks ends the festival with more Beethoven — and a bang.

Mistress
Maeve
Your Gracious Guide to Love & Lust! Dear Mistress, Recently, my boyfriend has been hinting around about spanking me. I don’t think he means a love tap during sex; I think he wants to do an all-out spanking session. I have some friends who draw the line at any hitting in the bedroom because it doesn’t jive with their feminist sensibilities. It makes sense to me — if sex is supposed to feel good, why would I want to be spanked? Thanks, Brand Spanking New Dear BSN, You’re right — sex is supposed to feel good. For some people, part of feeling good involves giving or receiving the sensation of a smartly placed smack rippling through the buttock muscles and vibrating down to the sexy bits. More, please! Spanking can be purely physical — a literal “slap-and-tickle,” where the administrator mixes smacks on the buttocks with tickles and touches to the genitalia. (A note to spankers: Be sure to avoid the lower back that houses the kidneys and other major-organ areas. Also, vary the placement of your smacks — too much of a good thing on the same spot can turn spanking from erotic to uncomfortable.) Spanking can also be more of a submissive act, often accompanied by roleplay. For adults who were punitively spanked as children, being bent over and walloped during a role-play can be emotionally unpleasant — even under the most safe, sane and consensual circumstances. Your friends make a good point — with so many victims of domestic violence in our country, women often feel guilty or weird about desiring their partners to “hit” them. But there’s a big difference between consensual erotic spanking between adults and abuse. For me, sex is much more satisfying when I check the politics at the bedroom door. Speak frankly with your partner about his spanking desires. If his fantasy lights your fire, I suggest you bend over and warm your buns. Remember, you’re indulging his fantasy, but you still get to call the shots. Start with a light spanking session and see where things go — he’s trying to get you a nice shade of rosy pink, not black and blue. Choose a “safe word” before you begin your first spanking session. If you feel uncomfortable, use your safe word — all play should stop, no exceptions or guilt trips. If spanking isn’t your thing, simply tell him it’s not a fantasy you can get “behind.”
Bottoms Up,
MM
