SYMPATHY FOR DEVIL’S Thanks for your story about Devil’s Bowl Speedway [“Lucifer’s Loop,” July 4]. I grew up around there . . . Now we race karts at Thunder Road, but those early dirt tracks were great, too! While being pretty liberal in my politics, I’m still a bluecollar factory worker and race fan. Thanks for your great newspaper! Neal Davis MILTON
TO BE OR H-2B? I read with interest your article “‘Guest’ Treatment” [July 25]. It’s not just the resort industry that uses low-wage guest workers. As someone involved in the building trades, increasingly I am seeing construction companies use the H-2B guestworker program as a way to keep wages low for Vermont laborers. One prominent Chittenden County construction company has applied for 24 H-2B foreign construction workers, at wages well below the industry average. H-2B permits are supposed to be used only when an employer cannot find Americans to do the work. I know of dozens of Vermonters who are looking for construction work and find it hard to believe that local construction companies cannot find Vermonters to hire. Clearly, if employers can get workers through the H-2B program to work at the lowest wages, it will help keep wages down for U.S. workers.
Bernie Sanders is on the right track in raising concern about the impact guest-worker programs have on the wages of American workers. This is not about being opposed to the guest workers — who are hardworking people trying to improve their lot in life — it’s about changing a policy, supported by big business, which keeps wages low for American workers. As my job brings me in contact with many workers in Vermont, I see many Americans that would love to go to work but simply cannot afford to make a house payment, put gas in the tank and support their family on the $8 an hour as noted in the news article. According to the Vermont Housing Council in this month’s Vermont Business Magazine, the median price for a single-family home has risen 97 percent. Are workers’ wages increasing at the same rate? Family-supporting wages are needed here in Vermont in order for hardworking American families to continue to survive. It costs a lot more to live here in Vermont than it does in Jamaica, so let’s address the problem at large. The real issue is about workers’ wages, not a worker shortage. Making it easier for big business to pay workers less money is not the answer. Damon Hall
COVER BOY What a great photo of Rusty [DeWees] on the cover of [last] week’s issue [Seven Days, August 1]! I just can’t get over that man’s great haircut! Nancy Abbott-Hourigan ESSEX JUNCTION
IT TAKES MORE THAN TESTICLES Over the years of reading Peter
Freyne’s column on a regular basis, I’ve grown accustomed to his use of trite needling. I’ve learned to read through his uncreative and unoriginal use of language and put-downs to gather what is usually an informative and enlightening collection of current political thoughts. This time, however, I can’t let it go [“Inside Track,” July 25]. To suggest that what the Democrats most need in order to challenge the
three-term incumbent Governor Douglas is a set of testicles goes well beyond a lack of creativity or originality. First, you confuse masculinity with maleness. Whether or not I have the nerve to provide any sort of challenge to any existing status quo has nothing to do with whether or not I have a scrotum and its contents. Indeed, it has nothing to do with my more letters >> 39a

CompILed by CAthy resmer excerpts from our blogs
» “creepy, naked babies” slideshow
Jefforsonville sculptor Jennifer Stocks-Dearborn makes realistic infant dolls from polymer clay. She jokingly calls her lifelike creations “creepy, naked babies.” Writer Leon Thompson writes about them in an article in this week’s “State of the Arts” section. Her sculptures are, in fact, creepy, mainly because they look so real. Most of them are tiny — just a few inches long — which makes them seem more like fetuses than infants; many of them are curled up in the fetal position. Their eyes are closed. They look like they’re sleeping. But while images of actual sleeping babies are simply cute, these dolls convey a deep sadness — Stocks-Dearborn often makes them as memorial pieces for parents whose babies have died. The artist lost her own daughter to SIDS on October 8, 2000. She began making the infant dolls last year, as part of her healing process. Miscarriage, stillbirth and infant death are taboo subjects in our culture, and the dolls manifest the grief that she and other parents feel. Stocks-Dearborn calls her online store “My Tangible Peace.” “I knew this was something I was supposed to do,” she tells Thompson. “This hobby of mine that aids in mending my broken heart doesn’t just stop when I have completed it. It’s meant to move me forward — onto others who walk my path.” Thompson’s article relates all of the important points of Stocks-Dearborn’s story, but the text can’t capture the babies’ “creepy” quality the way images can. Seven Days designer Krystal Woodward took a few dozen photos of Stocks-Dearborn’s sculptures. We were able to include just one black-and-white image next to the story in the newspaper, but you can view additional images in an audio slideshow on our website. Excerpts of an interview with Stocks-Dearborn accompany the photos, as well as portions of the song “Precious Time,” by Vermont band The Cush.

I Love Vermont
Last week, 56-year-old Gregory Viens of Fayston, Vermont, pleaded no contest to unlawful trespass after a farm employee caught him having sexual relations with a cow on a farm in Moretown, Vermont. Allegedly, Viens has a history of having intercourse with cows, but no animal cruelty charges have stuck. The Times Argus reports that other farmers in the area, who wish to remain anonymous, have had trouble with Viens since 1985. Viens was ordered to pay $601 in fines for his trespassing crime, with no penalty for having sex with the cow. Hey, why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?

Cheesy Follow-up In my last posting, I blogged about the American Cheese Society Conference which took place over three days at the Sheraton. Well, there’s more. Yes, more cheesy nuggets. Saturday night I drove yet more cheeseheads, excuse me, attendees, one of whom informed me of a glorious event scheduled for the following morning: After the competition is over, apparently the participating cheese-makers have lots of product left over. So, they hold a sale, with all the fancy-schmancy cheeses at a buck a pop! I showed up this morning (Sunday) at the Sheraton. Around the back, just outside the conference center, was a large white tent. In the parking lot sat more Volvos, BMWs and Saabs than you’d see at a Judy Collins concert. Inside the tent was a huge rectangle of brown folding tables stacked with cheese, cheese and more cheese. As you entered, everyone was given an official yellow bag. A woman who looked like a summer camp coach kept announcing: “Not yet! Not yet! No shopping until 10 o’clock sharp. Two more minutes, people! Two more minutes!”

When the bell sounded, it was like the old TV show “Supermarket Sweep,” or the California Gold Rush of 1849. Sheep that I am, I got totally swept up in the mania and ultimately left with enough cheese to vault my cholesterol to Code Red. I’ve been eating cheese now all afternoon. I’ve eaten too much cheese.

THE INTERSECTION OF PEARL AND NORTH WILLARD STREETS
6/18/07 12:25:05 PM
7/9/07 4:47:59 PM
BURLINGTON — A recent catastrophic car-skateboarder crash that dropped its victim at death’s door has prompted Burlington boarders to question the safety of city streets, the rules of the road, and police response to the accident. The under-reported collision occurred at the corner of Pearl and North Willard streets in Burlington on July 3. Shortly after the city’s annual holiday fireworks display at the waterfront, former University of Vermont student Patrick Klepacki, 22, and four fellow riders skated down Pearl Street. Burlington resident Will Deming was at the head of the pack when Klepacki struck a vehicle turning
age it sustained in the accident. Police reports say the skateboarder struck the vehicle, but Deming argues there is more to the story. “I didn’t get any support from the local authorities,” he says, noting that about five Burlington Police Department cruisers arrived on the scene that night. Although Deming did not witness the collision, he said those who did told him the driver of the car did not use a turn signal. (Seven Days is not releasing the name of the driver because he was not charged by police.) Deming is also angry that police chose not to perform a field sobriety test on the driver and did not interview all the
All I really remember is the first thing he said: “I want you guys to know this isn’t my fault.” WILL DEMING left onto North Willard from Pearl Street. “I looked back and no one was coming,” Deming says of the moments immediately following the collision. He picked up his board and returned to the busy intersection. “I go up and I see my friend Pat. He was in the intersection still and wasn’t moving,” Deming says. Klepacki, whom local skateboarders say had returned to Burlington from Connecticut to visit college friends and participate in a local longboarding event, suffered a torn aorta, a fractured femur, and other leg and arm injuries. Following heart surgery at Fletcher Allen Health Care, he was transferred to a hospital in Connecticut. Messages left with Klepacki’s family were not returned as of press time. According to Deming, Klepacki’s heart is beating with the help of a pacemaker and is “comparable to that of a 65-year-old” for the dam-

skaters who were there. “We remained at the scene until the last cop left,” Deming says. Deputy Chief Mike Schirling, a spokesman for BPD, acknowledges that a field sobriety test was not performed, but says the driver was properly evaluated and deemed sober. “There would only be a field sobriety test done if there was an indication the driver had been drinking,” Schirling says, adding that testing drivers without a cause for suspicion is an invasion of privacy. Random sobriety testing is “not something we have lawful authority to do.” Schirling also says that police interviewed seven witnesses to the accident, including one of the skaters. “If they didn’t see the collision, we would not ordinarily interview them,” he explains. The official investigation concluded, “The driver didn’t actually hit the skateboarder,
the skateboarder actually hit the car.” Deming disagrees that Klepacki was to blame for the accident, reiterating that the driver didn’t use a turn signal. In addition, he says, Klepacki’s experience on a skateboard and his ability to “slide” is a factor when determining cause. “Sliding” is the term skaters use to describe how they come to a stop. Most skaters wear safety gloves with plastic in them, which allows them to quickly slow down or stop by dropping down and dragging their hands on the ground in trouble situations. Klepacki, Deming insists, is a master at sliding. “There is no doubt in my mind” he would have been able to stop if he saw a turn signal, he adds. According to Schirling, there is no mention of a turn signal in police reports. And he suggests the driver may not have seen Klepacki because he was not wearing protective gear at the time of the accident. The skateboarder was also dressed in dark clothing, was wearing no reflective gear, and was in a crouched position at the time of the crash. “We don’t determine fault with motor-vehicle accidents,” Schirling notes, but adds, “If there were tickets issued, they would go to the pedestrian.” In other words, Klepacki. After police left the accident scene, the driver of the vehicle approached the group of skateboarders, according to Deming. “All I really remember is the first thing he said: ‘I want you guys to know this isn’t my fault.’” Update: Less than two weeks after the July 3 collision, as reported by Seven Days and other media, skateboarder and Ridin High owner John Van Hazinga sustained a serious head injury while longboarding down the Smugglers’ Notch Road. He is still in a coma at Fletcher Allen Health Care. �

SECURITY
Vermont Official Takes Homeland Security to Task BY MIKE IVES
WASHINGTON, D.C. — President George W. Bush created the Department of Homeland Security in 2003 in part to foster better communication between states and the federal government in the wake of 9/11. Four years later, Vermonter Kerry Sleeper, a highranking state liaison to the federal government on national security matters, went public in a Washington Post story suggesting DHS doesn’t understand what he would later call the “nuances” of state and local agencies. Such ignorance, he suggests, could translate into a potential national security threat. But Sleeper, who oversees state police and emergency management in Vermont, hoards information in a way that echoes his own complaints about federal officials. In addition to representing the National Governor’s Association on a federal intelligence committee, he advises on “threat assessment”
the FBI, or a mainstream media outlet such as FOX News. Sleeper, meanwhile, offers his own “go-around” to the press. He refuses, for example, to provide documentation in support of his allegations or to have his picture taken for this story. (The accompanying portrait is a file photo.) While he insists “there are many people in Washington in federal agencies that are just as frustrated with this process,” he declines to provide the names of disgruntled colleagues in other states, all the while maintaining he doesn’t want to be considered a “whistleblower” or an “alarmist.” This Monday, Sleeper went to Washington to meet with DHS personnel about the alleged intelligence breakdown. Both he and DHS Assistant Secretary of Intelligence and Analysis Charles Allen, who attended the meeting, say their chat was productive. But behind their comments lies a disconnect. For example, Sleeper suggests the
intelligence-sharing will be adversely affected by a change of presidential administrations. “I’m hoping there will be some planning for that transition,” the state rep says, but adds that he has “reservations whether that will happen in that environment right now.” How does the supposed breakdown of intelligence-sharing affect Vermont? According to Sleeper, the state’s proximity to interstate highways and major cities makes it a potential hotspot of nefarious activity. So a lack of federal intelligence-sharing, he notes, could prompt security risks at a location such as the Burlington International Airport. “We may be a small and rural state, but we’re [close] to a city” — Montréal — “with representatives of every major terrorist organization in the world,” he observes. “It’s essential that we be keenly aware of what we need to keep an eye on the ball.” An inquiry into Vermont’s security infrastructure reveals a labyrinth of security protocols, illustrating the communication
I respect Mr. Sleeper, but I don’t believe he’s fully informed of all the issues and all the measures we’re taking to expand . . . our information sharing.

KERRY SLEEPER
at the Washington, D.C.-based National Counterterrorism Center. According to Sleeper, Vermont’s chief security official, the feds routinely “miss the boat” on intelligence briefing in spite of all their propaganda about security preparedness. “All this talk about information technology?” he asks rhetorically. “The most timely way I get [information] is to pick up a phone and call a friend.” His critique prompts questions about national-security protocol both in Vermont and around the country. But despite his indignation, Sleeper refuses to share additional information about specific breakdowns in communication. A high-ranking DHS official questions the validity of his claims, and Seven Days’ attempts to confirm Sleeper’s allegations with local officials proved unsuccessful. Sleeper claims that in his dayto-day routine, he’s forced to get important intelligence information through “go-arounds” — i.e., via existing personal connections, other federal departments such as
meeting was called on his behalf. But an Allen spokesman suggests the meeting was “broader than that.” Allen also disagrees with the premise of Sleeper’s critique of federal officials in the first place. “I respect Mr. Sleeper,” the assistant secretary notes, “but I don’t believe he’s fully informed of all the issues and all the measures we’re taking to expand . . . our information sharing.” Not surprisingly, the two officials offer divergent views on the future of state-federal intelligence sharing. Allen, who admits the feds aren’t “doing enough” for municipalities, cites the existence of eight state “fusion centers” as an example of healthy communication, adding that his agency has grown significantly since he took it over almost two years ago. “This is a strong new beginning, and we can’t do it overnight,” he notes of the recent growth. “I think Mr. Sleeper is impatient, and I appreciate that.” Sleeper, for his part, isn’t so hopeful about prospects for federal-state cooperation. He says he’s concerned that the expansion of
gaps Sleeper alleges. When questioned about Sleeper’s accusations, Burlington Airport director Rick Varney referred a reporter to the local branch of the Transportation Safety Administration (TSA). A TSA spokesman routed an inquiry to the state police. A state police official deferred back to Vermont’s Homeland Security Unit, which Sleeper oversees. Mark Bosma, the unit’s public information officer, declined to comment on Sleeper’s allegations, sending a reporter back to Mr. Sleeper himself. Burlington Police Department (BPD) spokesman Mike Schirling has something to say on the topic, but not much. Schirling, who would not discuss the “methodology” of his department’s information-gathering strategy, says the state police “filter” Homeland Security info to BPD. He adds, “We’re happy with the flow of information that comes from the department of public safety and state police. [Kerry Sleeper’s] in a much better position to know whether the scope and depth of the information that’s coming from the federal government is what it should be.” �

CITIZEN MEDIA
Does Public-Access TV Still Matter in the YouTube Age? BY KEN PICARD
I view the entire media-industrial complex as a giant door that is shutting out local voices. LAUREN-GLENN DAVITIAN
Burlington, Rutland, Montpelier and Middlebury. Today, there are 25 “access centers” throughout the state operating 42 different public-access channels, including three in the Burlington area alone. Of the more than 120,000 cable households in Vermont, nearly all are served by an access center that provides a range of media services. But there’s more. In 1987, Davitian helped draft Vermont’s first cable statute; she started the first community technology center in Vermont, now known as Cyberskills-Vermont; and, she launched the state’s first government-access channel, Town Meeting TV. Today, Channel 17 is accepted as the “media of record” for public meetings in Chittenden County with a soon-to-be searchable online archive of more than 22,000 programs. Desite such accomplishments, Davitian is often asked whether public-access television is still relevant in the age of YouTube. Her reply: These are both the best of times, and the worst, for community media advocates.

BURLINGTON — It’s hard to measure success in the unglamorous and often underappreciated world of public-access television. Chittenden Community Television (CCTV) channels don’t even register in the Nielsen ratings, and no one ever wins Emmys for their gavel-to-gavel coverage of city council meetings and water fluoridation debates. But CCTV’s Center for Media and Democracy earned some much-deserved kudos two weeks ago when its executive director, Lauren-Glenn Davitian, took home the industry’s highest honor — the George Stoney Award for Humanistic Communication. The award, named after the “father of public-access television,” is given out annually by the Alliance for Community Media to a person or organization whose work promotes free speech, social action and public access to media outlets. Davitian, 46, was recognized at the group’s national conference in Minneapolis July 31 for more than 20 years of public service in promoting community-access television in Vermont. Seven Days sat down with Davitian last week to talk about how far community-access television has come in two decades, as well as the many challenges it faces in the age of corporate consolidation, the Internet and video on demand. Davitian, a New York City native, was one of the founders of Vermont’s public-access movement. When she graduated from the University of Vermont, in 1982, she wanted to “get her hands on” some video equipment but couldn’t find a local outlet to do so. She was aware that cable companies in other states had been compelled to provide channels, equipment and revenue to citizen groups. Armed with that knowledge, she approached Cox Cable — the precursor to Adelphia and Comcast — and asked for access to some of its equipment. As she recalls, someone on the company’s staff led her to a closet containing a dusty reelto-reel deck and other outdated gear. Soon Davitian was out raising public awareness about the right of citizens to create their own TV programming through cable subscribers’ user fees. “Once people heard the story of what public access was, it took no persuading at all,” she recalls. “All we really needed was their support to go to the Public Service Board.” In the early 1980s, citizen advocates were a rare sight at PSB hearings. Environmental groups were just beginning to intervene in some cases, but public involvement in cable and telecom issues was virtually unheard of, at least in Vermont. Davitian, along with a group of other “likeminded activists” and the support of then-Burlington Mayor Bernie Sanders, successfully petitioned Cox Cable and the PSB to set aside and fund citizen-run cable channels in

Nicco’s Cucina Next to the Majestic 10 Cinema. On the one hand, people are more technologically savvy, interested in creating their own programs and have access to inexpensive and easy-to-use video equipment. And, there are more avenues than ever for showcasing citizen-produced programs, both on publicly operated cable channels and the Internet. At the same time, she points out, “Free speech is more than just shouting out into the wilderness . . . Just because you can post something on YouTube doesn’t mean you have free speech.” In that sense, the mission of CCTV’s Center for Media and Democracy is as relevant as ever: People still need to learn how to think critically about the media they consume. And, they need to know which tools are the most effective at reaching a targeted audience and mobilizing people to action. Davitian says that while the Internet has enormous potential as a democratizing agent, there remains a huge digital divide, mostly along economic lines. “Time magazine can say, ‘You are the person of the year,’” she explains. “But the reality is, the ownership structure is still in the hands of the few.” In fact, when Davitian helped create public-access television in 1984, there were 50 cable companies in Vermont. Today, there are 19. The two largest — Comcast and Charter — now command 90 percent of the cable market. Moreover, Vermont’s “churn rate” — that is, the number of people dropping cable TV in favor of satellite TV, which doesn’t carry communityaccess channels — is the highest in the nation. Those who’ve worked with Davitian, or “L-G,” say no one is more deserving of the 2007 George Stoney Award. “She knocked my socks off,” writes Karen Tokat, a board member with Chittenden Community Television, one of 30 people who nominated Davitian for the award. “She sparked a community and a state with the idea that the public has the right to, and the need for, access to the means of television communication, and this access grew throughout the state.” Karen Toering, co-director of the Seattle-based media advocacy group, Reclaim the Media, agrees. “In my book, L-G’s gentle and articulate leadership is stellar,” she says. “I often look to her opinion and guidance when working on issues.” And Vermont media educator and reformer Rob Williams calls Davitian “the spiritual godmother of Vermont community cable access.” For her part, Davitian emphasizes that she couldn’t do her work alone and credits the many people who made CCTV a community endeavor that keeps corporate media at bay. “I view the entire mediaindustrial complex as a giant door that is shutting out local voices,” she says. “We have our foot in the door, and all I can hope to do is keep the door from shutting entirely.” �

AN IRREVERENT READ ON VT POLITICS
And the Healing Has Begun?
T
he state of Vermont has only one seat in the United States House of Representatives, and the person currently occupying it — Democrat Peter Welch — appears to have a pretty good grip on it. At the moment, no significant challenger is making noise in Republican circles, and an independent would be a longshot. Ol’ Welchie, a 60-year-old attorney and former star of his own courthouse TV commercials, held a presser on health care Monday in Big Bad Burlap. He highlighted the legislation that passed the U.S. House and Senate last week. It would extend the State Children’s Health Insurance Program [SCHIP] to cover an additional five million low-income children.

And when was the last time you went to the emergency room to get your cancer treatment, huh? Or your blood pressure treated? IT: Good point. DR: Give me a break. Everyone uses that — you can go to the emergency room. Maybe if you get in a major car accident they’ll take care of you anyway, but should you lose your 2x5-Leunigs062707.indd 1 home because you happen to get in a car accident? It’s crazy. One big mess.

DEB RICHTER Great, right? Well, Congressman Welch (who has yet to see Michael Moore’s revolutionary health-care flick Sicko) and other “advocates” were trying to paint what happened in Washington as progress. But Dr. Deb Richter of Montpelier, one of Vermont’s health-care reform firebrands, would have none of it. During a lunchtime interview on Church Street the other day, Dr. Richter pointed out that the new federal legislation touted by Welch and the Democrats, if passed and signed by the president, still won’t bring the federal system up to Vermont’s level when it comes to covering low-income kids! INSIDE TRACK: What’s the state of health care right now? DEB RICHTER: Keep in mind that the bill they passed in Washington is what we already have in Vermont with Dr. Dynasaur, which extends, essentially, coverage to people up to 300 percent of poverty — which is what this bill would do. This would do what we already have in Vermont. And if we already have the best in Vermont, why are we even trying health-care reform?

Vermont down the road to public financing — what the GOP candidates for president love to condemn as “socialized medicine.” It certainly appears to deliver for the Canadians, eh? DR: The bill (H.304, the Vermont Hospital Security Plan) would basically be public financing of hospital coverage for all Vermonters. IT: It’s like the Michael Moore movie? DR: Imagine what this would do. First of all, premiums would drop significantly because the biggest part of your health-insurance premium is hospital coverage. IT: Really? DR: Yes, it would drop significantly. So all Vermonters’ premiums in the entire state would go down. What do you think about that? Lower insurance costs. And administrative costs would go down, because you would no longer have to do any billing. Do you ever get a hospital bill, Peter? IT: Yes. I get them almost everyday. DR: It’s ridiculous! So here’s what we’d do. We would negotiate a budget with Fletcher Allen, and we would give them that amount. Every two weeks they’d get a payment so they could pay their nurses, their doctors, dieticians, people who scrub the floors, whatever, and they would run the hospital and no longer do any billing, OK? It would be good for the hospitals. They would no longer have to go begging. If they felt that in order to keep good nurses we’ve got to pay them more, there would be money available for that. This gives them a lot of flexibility. Only problem so far is, the hospitals are not fond of it, nor is the Statehouse establishment or the Fifth Floor. We won’t have true health-care reform in Vermont and the U.S. until everybody’s in fair and square — just like the folks in the rest of the “civilized” world. Getting Personal — As regular readers know, health care became an up-close-and-personal issue for yours truly this year with our January diagnosis of cancer, i.e., non-Hodgkins lymphoma. It’s a cancer that spreads through the immune system. As the year rolled along, we rolled along through eight all-day chemotherapy treatments conducted every three weeks. And we became quite appreciative of that four-story underground parking garage on Hospital Hill — the overpriced one that led to the conviction and imprisonment of Fletcher Allen Health Care CEO Bill Boettcher. (Thanks, Bill! Access to the FAHC Oncology Center was terrific. Hope the jail thingy wasn’t
too bad.) Last Monday, we went in for our last PET scan. Don’t ask me to explain it — it’s modern technology at its multimillion-dollar, radioactive best. Essentially, a PET scan gets a picture of what’s going on inside, and it’s truly amazing. Turned out the other person in the waiting room was a gent I’ve known for 25 years, though I haven’t seen him in the last couple. Unlike yours truly, Dave knew exactly where things stood. He had colorectal cancer and he knew it was “terminal.” He had accepted that, and we had a great chat about “life.” In my case, I still was waiting to see if the cancer remained or had spread or what. One thing that I’ve learned in the last seven months is to live one day at a time and make it count. Over in cyberspace, the Freyne Land blog became a daily column. Certain Vermont politicians may not have liked that, but c’est la vie! Anyway, my doctor’s appointment to find out the results was moved up to Tuesday. The envelope, please! Eric Pillemer, MD, has been an oncologist for about as long as we’ve been a columnist — a long time. No beating around the bush with Dr. Pillemer. Much appreciated. He popped the “before” and “after” shots on the computer screen. “A complete remission!” he announced. We walked into the doc’s office prepared to be told we have a few months to live and instead got the word that the cancer’s gone. Everything for a reason, right? P.S. Our heart goes out to all those who sent expressions of support and concern over this year. Many said they appreciated our openness in writing about having cancer. Yes, folks, it is OK to talk about it. We are, after all, all in this together. Too bad the boys running our country don’t realize that, eh?
the other day published on Politico.com — one of those hot new Capitol Hill websites that’s eager to get beneath the surface. St. Patrick told Roger Simon, “History will not be kind to the arrogance and indifference to law shown by this White House.” Vermont’s senior senator said Bush’s gift to the United States Supreme Court, Chief Justice John Roberts, has turned that court into an “arm of the Republican Party.” Meanwhile, Attorney General Alberto Gonzalez, the nation’s chief law-enforcement officer that nobody trusts, “has undermined law enforcement in America,” said the tall, bald gentleman from Vermont. “I don’t trust him. He gives me the impression that he is someone to whom telling the truth does not come naturally.” And President Bush has stated, added Leahy, “in effect, that he is a law unto himself, and the president can overrule the law, the courts and congressional actions.” He’s not sugarcoating it, is he? “I am not sure the president realizes what he has done with the court,” said St. Patrick. “He was told by Dick Cheney and others, ‘This is what you are going to do.’” As everyone knows, Leahy of Vermont, the former Chittenden County State’s Attorney from the days when smoking cigarettes was cool, has been a Washington regular since the mid-1970s. He’s survived six presidents so far. How does George W. compare? “He does not measure up to any of the others,” said the Vermonter. “I have never seen any introspection in him, with the possible exception of the comprehensive immigration bill, and election-year politics pushed him away from that. Our vice president has an inordinate amount of control over him.” Ouch! And we will never forget the hallowed words that Vice President Control, er, Cheney, delivered on “Meet the Press” on the morning of March 16, 2003: “Given the fact that he has a significant flow of cash as a result of the oil production of Iraq, it’s only a matter of time until he acquires nuclear weapons. And in light of that, we have to be prepared, I think, to take the action that is being contemplated . . . “I think things have gotten so bad inside Iraq, from the standpoint of the Iraqi people, my belief is we will, in fact, be greeted as liberators.” More than four years later, the never-drafted Dick Cheney is still running the country. Our country. You sure it’s not a movie? �
On the Line — Should be an autumn to remember this year, and we’re not talking about the fall colors in Vermont. We’re talking about our nation’s capital and campuses as we head into the last autumn before the 2008 presidential election kicks into high gear. And what an election it will be, eh? About three-quarters of the populace has no trust whatsoever in the current regime, one in which it appears President George “WMD” Bush does everything Vice President Dick Cheney and Senior Policy Advisor Karl Rove tell him to do.

Here’s a little quiz: Does “creepy, naked babies� refer to (a) an Ozzy Osbourne tribute band, (b) a review of Ann Geddes’ photos featuring infants dressed as insects, (c) a mixed drink that could blow away a Breathalyzer, or (d) none of the above? If you said (d), you’re right. And you don’t win a thing, but read on. “Creepy, naked babies� is what Vermont artist Jennifer Stocks-Dearborn jokingly calls her eerily realistic — and rapidly selling — stock of polymer clay infants, which she sculpts in her Jeffersonville home. Despite that somewhat humorous description, Stocks-Dearborn’s art began with anything but laughter. As much creativity does, hers originated in darkness — death, to be precise. Her 16-month-old daughter Madison died of SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome) on October 8, 2000. Within the next three years, Stocks-Dearborn married and had two sons. But the healing process from her daughter’s death did not really begin until April 2006, when a friend forwarded an email about Canadian sculptor Camille Allen’s “Marzipan Babies.� “As I stared at these tiny, hand-sculpted babies made from clay, I thought, I can do that,� Stocks-Dearborn recalls. “And I did. I remember sculpting my very first piece, and how my anxieties and overwhelming tidal waves of emotions subsided. From that first one, I was hooked.� By June 2006 she had started selling her own “creepy, naked babies� on eBay. A month later, she created a clay baby memorial piece for a mournful parent. “From that point on,� Stocks-Dearborn says, “I knew this was something I was supposed to do. This hobby of mine that aids in mending my broken heart doesn’t just stop when I have completed it. It’s meant to move me forward — on to others who walk my path.� Stocks-Dearborn’s voice is

strong when she discusses Madison, but her eyes sometimes glisten with tears. Madison was colicky for the first three months of her life and had pneumonia twice, but she was comical and vibrant, her mother recalls. She adored bluegrass music and took her first step just days before she turned 1. Stocks-Dearborn was at work the day her then-boyfriend put Madison down for her last nap. He later found the baby blue and lifeless. Madison’s mother had just one question: Why? Her art helps her explore that mystery. “This sweet, special child of mine made a huge impact on my life, and each day that I spent with her taught me the true meaning of love and happiness,� Stocks-Dearborn writes on her website, www.freewebs.com/ mytangiblepeace. “I learned what true, unconditional love really was, and I learned that together we could do anything. [Madison] showed me parts of myself that I had never known existed, even in her death. So I made it my mission to share what I have learned and spread her selfless love as far as I possibly can.� Stocks-Dearborn did not model her first clay baby after Madison; only after making 10 of the tiny figures did she begin to recognize their deeper meaning. To date, she’s made 180 babies, each without a mold. That meant no one could recreate them —
until now. In April, a small Texasbased doll company named Bloomersnbows asked StocksDearborn if she would sculpt some babies for mass production in China. She agreed. Bloomersnbows has bought the copyrights to a few of StocksDearborn’s pieces, meaning they produce a mold from her master sculpture and use it to make plain, vinyl dolls. The original dolls are returned to her. Strange? Maybe, but not to Stocks-Dearborn. “These guys are funding my hobby,â€? she says, referring to Bloomersnbows. “In all honesty, I would be content living my life as I do: in my small town, surrounded by my family and friends, being allowed to stay outside of the normal and professional workforce, and making my babies.â€? The dolls look exactly like what she calls them: “creepy, naked babies.â€? They range from 3 inches to a life-sized 19. Memorial sculptures are small but free, provided the person who solicits one donates the cost of supplies. The life-sized babies? $350. The clay infants have tiny digits and perfectly placed fat creases. Mohair or Tibetan lamb’s hair covers their round heads. StocksDearborn applies the hair last and bakes it into the top layer of the clay’s surface. These days, she quips, “I tell people I always have a baby in the oven.â€? ďż˝

A New Show at Studio Place Arts Does the Unmentionable BY PAMELA POLSTON
The invention of the brassiere is apocryphally credited to Otto Titzling (think “tit-sling�), while history shows that New York socialite Mary Phelps Jacob filed the patent for the modern bra in 1910. Whatever. Many women maintain the belief that the torturous item was indeed created by a man. But urban legends and factual record make not a whit of difference at Studio Place Arts. The Barre gallery has just issued a call to artists for “Bra-Ha-Ha!�, a show that will feature artistmade “chest halters� in any media. “Go wild, go demure, go, go-go!� a press release giddily urges.

Seattle Sound Artist Catches Vibes of the Old North End BY MARGOT HARRISON PHOTO: MATTHEW THORSEN
On a bench in Burlington’s Battery Park, between the lake and the bike path, Yann Novak sits cradling a digital audio recorder in his palm. In his other hand is a microphone, which he shields from the gusty breeze. Leaves rustle, drums boom faintly; a boat horn lows far out on the water. A woman makes cooing sounds, presumably to a baby. After about five minutes, Novak, a 28-year-old from Seattle, switches off the recorder. “That was interesting,� he says. “I liked that.� To most folks enjoying the waterfront on this sunny Saturday afternoon, these sounds are just background noise. To Novak, they’re raw material. He’s a “sound artist� doing a 10-day residency at Kasini House in the Old North End, which will culminate in a performance at the North Street gallery of a composition incorporating sounds he recorded in the neighborhood. What is sound art, exactly, and how is it related to musical composition? “I tend to shy away from defining the two,� says Novak, who releases his and others’ work on his own label, Dragon’s Eye Recordings. “There’s a large overlap, and I fall somewhere in it. It depends for me on the context of the work more so than on how it was created� — i.e., he calls his work “sound art� when it appears as part of an installation with a visual component, “music� when it doesn’t. To create his compositions, Novak captures sounds with his compact recorder-and-mike setup, uploads them to his computer and uses software to transform them. One piece, for instance, weaves the squawks of starlings taking wing outside his Seattle apartment with a thrumming electronic pulse. But he steers clear of anything resembling a dance beat. “I was into the dance and rave culture when I was a teen in the Midwest and got very . . . disillusioned with the hedonism and party aspect,� Novak says. He describes his music as “ambient, experimental. It will have some rhythmic elements.� But he doesn’t see it as esoteric or purely abstract. “It’s about kind of emotionally reaching out to an audience, and that is done through a translation of my own experiences,� Novak says. “I pull the context of the recording away and highlight the resonance that the place has for me and convey that to the audience.� A serendipitous meeting with gallery owner Ric Kasini Kadour

brought Novak to Vermont — it’s his first time on the East Coast of the U.S. What emotional resonance does the Old North End have for him? “Right now, having only been here for a couple hours, my first read is of a kind of false nostalgia for Madison, Wisconsin,� says Novak, referring to the college town where he grew up. “I loved walking around last night and seeing people on porches — it’s so hot, there’s nothing else you can do but be outside.� Unlike a local artist, Novak comes to this setting with few preconceptions — gazing at the
lake, he admits he’s not sure what it’s called or what’s on the other side. “Doing the recordings is very much about discovery,â€? he explains. He likes the unpredictability of the process: “You pick a point in time and space, but there’s no way of telling what’s going to happen past that point. So you hit ‘record’ and hope for the best.â€? ďż˝
Novak will perform his “Old North End Soundscape� on Friday, August 10, at Kasini House, 64 North Street, Burlington, 7 p.m. Free.

Zsebenazy asked the clerk for the cigarettes, then handed her his driver’s license to prove his age. While the clerk was entering his birth date into the register, Zsebenazy grabbed the cigarettes and fled, overlooking that the clerk still had the driver’s license. • The owner of a Minneapolis restaurant called police after a couple ran out on a $410 bill. “I was thinking, ‘I hope to God I see these people again,’” owner Thom Pham said.

Pham walked into another restaurant he owns and spotted the pair polishing off another expensive meal. When the couple tried to flee, Pham, a former judo instructor, chased Reginald Wilder, 43, into an alley, forced him to the ground and held him until police arrived.

Wildfire Junior When malfunctioning brakes set fire to a hay-filled wagon being towed by a truck in Hart Township, Mich., the driver “panicked and just floor-boarded it to get to an open area,” fire Chief Ken Klotz told the Ludington Daily News.

Titular Follies Mariela Mollinedo, a beauty pageant winner from Bolivia’s Aymara Indian community, was stripped of her title a few hours after the contest ended when the judges noticed her braids were fake. Contestants in the Miss Cholita Pacena pageant, which seeks to instill pride in indigenous women, have to wear their hair long and done up in two braids in traditional Aymara fashion, but the hair is supposed to be real, pageant organizer Walter Gomez told Reuters, explaining, “Having short hair means they don’t live
like Cholitas.” • Sajani Shakya, a 10-year-old girl who is one of Nepal’s top three “Kumaris,” or living goddesses, was stripped of her title because she traveled to the United States to promote a documentary about the centuries-old tradition. Selected from the ages of 2 through 4, Kumaris live in seclusion and are worshipped by both Hindus and Buddhists. The priests who took away her title said that traveling overseas rendered her “impure,” according to Isabel Whitaker, the director of the British documentary, “Living Goddess.” Two weeks later, however, religious authorities said the girl could retain her status by undergoing a “cleansing ceremony.”

link between increased immune-system activation and depression — in other words, the cancer was seemingly driving the depression and not the other way around. Some experts, in fact, have suggested that for patients who aren’t naturally upbeat, trying to stay positive may itself be stressful, making them more vulnerable to their illness. On the whole, research shows little to no link between willpower and survival of life-threatening illness. A study published by the American Stroke Association in 2001 showed that while a sense of “helplessness/hopelessness� reduced the chance of survival, having a “fighting spirit� made no significant difference. Similarly, a study of 204 Australian lung cancer patients showed zero link between positive outlook and survival. In light of such results it’s tempting to say that while a positive attitude won’t help your chances, a negative attitude 1. might make them worse. However, even that modest #"55&3: 1"3, conclusion may be a reach. A British Medical Journal /P BMDPIPM PS HMBTT DPOUBJOFST BMMPXFE review of 10 studies of fighting spirit and 12 studies #63-*/(50/$*5:"354 $0. of helplessness/hopelessness found no correlation either way with cancer survival or recurrence. What’s more, individual studies purporting to show a link typically had methodological flaws or other problems. But let’s focus on the positive, shall we? While willpower may not have much impact on disease, it can get you past other rough patches. Take Aron 1 8/7/07 9:18:20 AM Ralston, who in 2003 famously amputated his own 2x5-BurlingtonCityArts080807.ind1 Ifb[dZ_Z š @k_Yo 9ekjkh[ š IkiWdW CedWYe š J^[eho š I[l[d \eh 7bb CWda_dZ š hand to escape a boulder that trapped him in a mountain-climbing accident — I’d say that showed a positive correlation between the will to live and survival. Likewise, after his plane crashed in 1994, Peter DeLeo managed to walk 13 days to safety on a shattered ankle, with a collapsed lung, one eye, no food, but clearly an ample supply of guts. Finally, let’s not overlook the story of Dougal and Lynn Robertson. While stranded at sea for 38 days with only small amounts of rainwater to drink, they gave brackish-water enemas to themselves and others on their life raft on the theory that their rectums would filter out the salt and absorb enough water to keep them alive. The book I found this story in (Surviving the Extremes: A Doctor’s Journey to the Limits of Human Endurance by Kenneth Kamler, 2004) doesn’t make clear how important rectal desalination was to the Robertsons’ survival. However, looking at the matter in context, I’d say there’s a fine line between having an indomitable will to survive and being completely nuts. CECIL ADAMS

Tough call. On one hand, I’ve always been skeptical about mind-over-matter claims. If willpower has nothing to do with whether your feet get burned from walking on hot coals, as I’d say has now been amply demonstrated, why should it cause your cancer to go into remission? On the other hand, when I get a letter like yours indicating healthy skepticism about the things we’re told (and Lord knows we could’ve used a little more of that attitude in this country in recent years), well, what can I tell you? It gives me the strength to go on. People want to believe in willpower. In a 1989 survey of medical professionals, close to 100 percent said they recognized it and believed it made a difference — and in pretty obvious ways it inarguably does. For one thing, people with a positive attitude are more likely to follow their doctor’s orders. One study of breast cancer patients showed a direct relation between a positive mental state and compliance with chemotherapy, presumably increasing their chances of getting better. On a slightly deeper level, research suggests stress can reduce your body’s ability to fight viral infections and repair damaged DNA. Depression can imbalance the immune system, leading to both reduced levels of natural killer cells and increased inflammation. So, to the extent that the will to live = reduced stress or depression, it stands to reason that a good attitude will benefit you. With that in mind, cancer patients have been studied to see whether the will to live makes a difference. Some research has shown a link between avoiding depression and increased cancer survival. A long-term study of 205 cancer patients found that those showing fewer depressive symptoms had a roughly 10 percent greater chance of being around ten years after diagnosis. Following a five-year study of 578 women with breast cancer, researchers reported a “significantly reduced chance of survival� for severely depressed patients and that strong feelings of helplessness and hopelessness had a “a moderate but detrimental effect.� Then again, depression and loss of hope might simply mean you’ve got a worse case of the disease. A study of colorectal cancer patients showed a

Dear Cecil, We’re often told that people with some serious illness are “fighters� and that helps them survive or, conversely, that some people “give up� or the like. My question is, are such phenomena scientifically validated? Is willpower really a factor in whether you live or die? Nelamm18, via email

hich one, Jernigan?” my customer asked. Like a model on “The Price Is Right,” he was holding up two variations on a pewter oil lamp. We were standing in the middle of Danforth Pewter on the Church Street Marketplace. The Danforth family, a plaque on the wall proclaimed, have been pewterers (yes, that’s the term) since the late 1700s. “What do you think, man?” he pressed. Andy had engaged me by the hour as a Burlington tour guide. As we traipsed around the downtown district, it became clear that the man was a shopaholic. Fortunately, he could well afford his habit. Besides, it’s not like he was fleecing widows or mainlining crack cocaine. So give the guy a break, right? “Gee, Andy,” I replied, “I dunno what to tell you. They’re both gorgeous pieces.” “You’re absolutely right,” he said and stepped over to the sales clerk at the register. Andy was short and stocky, with a clean-shaven cranium and carefully tended salt-and-pepper beard. “I’ll take both.
Andy seemed genuinely amazed at the things he’d done and places he’d been. Can ya ship them to me?” As we exited the store, a pretty girl ambled by in a summery mini-dress. Andy’s eyeballs bugged out of his head. “Lord have mercy,” he said. “I love ’em with the skinny legs. Never was a big breast guy.” His voracity, so publicly displayed, was startling and actually made me a little uncomfortable. This is one of those men, I thought, with big energy and a big appetite to match, reminiscent of a certain ex-president. I had learned on the ride into town from The Inn at Essex that Andy was a man of major accomplishments that literally spanned the world. Among other positions, he’d served as Arizona’s health commissioner and, before that, been director of the World Bank’s Calcutta Health Project. He spoke of how impressed he had been reading about the “barefoot doctor” movement in rural China; when he was in Calcutta, he managed to train 20,000 health workers to serve the desperately poor of India. He went on to do similar public-health work in the slums of Jamaica. For the last couple of years, he’d been working as the dean of a newly established Arizona dental school. As Andy spoke of his illustrious life, it didn’t strike me as braggadocio; he seemed genuinely amazed at the things he’d done and the places he’d been, and his sense of wonder was infectious. It got me thinking, Man, I could do more with my life. His lust for skinny-legged women and pricy tchotchkes had clearly not
impeded his career aspirations; it was all part of his oversized personality package. Strolling Church Street, I suggested hitting the farmers’ market, which was in full swing just around the corner. In addition to the fresh food in all its beckoning permutations, for the last few seasons the market has had a section for local artists and artisans. I wanted to introduce Andy to the popular Burlington artist dug Nap (that’s how he spells his name). I had a feeling he wouldn’t be able to resist dug’s whimsical2x5-NEFCU080807.indd 1 8/3/07 5:18:18 PM paintings. Spread the wealth, I figured. The two men met, they schmoozed, and, the next thing I knew, dug was taking down Andy’s vital info for shipment of an original piece. “You know,” Andy said, a touch of guilt slipping into his voice as he turned to me and confided sotto voce, “I give away 95 percent of what I buy.” After a quick drive around the waterfront, the hill section and university, it was time for my customer to get back to the inn. He needed time to prepare for the keynote speech he was delivering later that night. As we cruised along the Circ Highway, I asked him about presiding K? over the Arizona Health Department. “It was a blast,” he said. “There were 35,000 employees and a $2 billion budget.” Once again that sense of awe appeared, as if he were relating a fabulous dream. “But, you know, we all had fun. We fooled around in the office and laughed every day. I’m with your guys here in Vermont, you know, Ben and K\Xdj f] () g\fgc\ Zfdg\k\ kf glcc X i\Xc 9lic`e^kfe :`kp Jerry.

Bring on the Bateaux French-Canadian boaters keep Burlington’s summer economy afloat
B
urlington is almost 4000 miles from the French Riviera, but any summer night on the waterfront, you could almost mistake the Queen City for Cannes. It’s not surprising that boaters from STORY Québec migrate south every summer on MIKE the lake “discovered” by a Frenchman IVES — Samuel de Champlain. But 2007 is turning out to be a banner year for IMAGES Canadian tourists, according to the seaMATTHEW sonal employees and business owners THORSEN who cater to and benefit from it. Although there are no official stats on the numbers of French-speaking tourists visiting the city, in-the-know locals say waterfront patrons are coming in droves from the province of Québec. Vermont’s Department of Tourism confirms that the state is among the top-10 destinations for Canadians. In 2005 alone, the department reports Canadians spent $234.9 million in Vermont — roughly the same figure projected for Vermont’s 2008 sales tax revenues. Last week, Seven Days hit the docks to witness this tourist boom firsthand and to pose a few questions. Why are so many Canadians coming to town? What do they do here besides eat and drink? And how do their spending patterns affect the local economy? On a late-July Saturday night on the waterfront, the pleasure-seekers are out in force. Just beyond the Leahy ECHO Center, high-heeled tourists congregate for a cruise on The Spirit of Ethan Allen. On an elevated porch above the boathouse, young girls groove to a parade of tired dance hits such as “Macarena” and “Funkytown.” Down below, the boathouse dock portal is flooded with FrenchCanadian couples trying to reserve tables at Splash, the adjacent restaurant.
From his boat parked at a nearby dock, Pierre Tremblay wants none of that scène. As the boathouse speakers pump out more top-40 maladies, his wife Luce Morin and their friend Lynn Courval open a bottle of wine on the deck of their 20-plus-foot motorboat, Captaine Haddock. With its white leather seats, the cruiser looks like the perfect setting for an offshore corporate scandal. But closer inspection reveals the cockpit is littered with playthings, snorkels and sandals. The clutter belongs to Courval’s son Erik, 8, and the boy’s friends Anthony and Emilie Tremblay, 9 and 4, respectively. The kids are playing below in the cabin. A shaggy dog named Milou waits on the docks for his young playmates to emerge. “You’re very lucky to speak with them,” Courval says of her friends, welcoming a reporter onto the boat. “They love Burlington.” She’s sitting on a leather cushion wearing a brown T-shirt with glitter letters spelling “Tommy” — as in Hilfiger. Her English is better than her friends’, she explains, sitting in as an informal interpreter. For the first few minutes of conversation, Morin smiles and nods. It just so happens both women are on vacation from their respective jobs at American corporations: Hallmark and Reebok. That could explain why their vibe is both familiar and vaguely exotic. Despite her excellent English, for example, Courval’s voice strikes a seductive French note. Her companion’s jean shortshorts and bleached-blond hair contrast with her wine glass — think Superbowl halftime show meets Moulin Rouge. Morin’s husband Pierre may not speak the best English, but language bar-
riers don’t stop him from sounding off. A chemical engineer from just outside Montréal, he sits regally in the vessel’s captain’s chair. Like the women, this guy is unusually attractive — perfectly tanned, he has jet-black hair with silver streaks. When answering questions, Pierre gestures broadly with one hand while swilling wine with the other. “I observe that here, everything is organized for the visitor,” he begins. “Montréal is also like that, but when we’re on vacation [with] kids who are turbulent, we want to feel that we are welcome.” Tremblay and company have been coming to Burlington regularly for years, usually for a week at a time. Why? Aside from the lake views, Btown offers killer amenities. “I think everything is accessible for the tourists,” Morin affirms, adding that her family typically goes downtown to either shop or dine. Their favorite restaurant, Tremblay says, is the “Chantí” — French-Canadian for the nearby Shanty on the Shore restaurant. Oddly enough, these visitors also appear to be enchanted with the city’s unremarkable transportation infrastructure. Morin says her family likes to go for rides on the Champlain Valley Flyer, a train that runs four times a day between Burlington and Shelburne in the summer. Pierre adds that he enjoys the “bicycle highway” — known to locals as the waterfront bike path — and the buses that cruise up the hill to Church Street. “It’s a good idea to have a bus with climatization,” he adds, searching for the word for “air conditioning.” The College Street Shuttle isn’t the only thing going uphill in Burlington. When Tremblay and his family started
coming here five years ago, he got 65 American cents for his dollar. Now he gets 96. Translation? Canadian money goes a lot further in Vermont than it used to. That could explain why Shanty owner and waterfront magnate Al Gobeille — who spoke to Seven Days by cellphone from his motorboat — says the number of Canadian diners at his place seems high this year. Gobeille and his wife Kim also own Breakwater Café & Grill and the Burlington Bay Market and Café. They have no way of knowing how many of their customers are Canadian because credit card transactions — today’s payment method of choice — don’t reveal country of origin. Still, there are more subtle ways to gauge the impact of the highly touted Canadian dollar. Gobeille notes, for one, that he sells more Muscadet — a French white wine that pairs well with seafood — during peak boating season. He says some Canadian clients ask for gravy fries, or “poutine,” a Québec specialty. The Shanty doesn’t carry it — yet. If the waterfront keeps moving in this direction, “we’re going to all be doing it,” Gobeille predicts with a chuckle. “We’re going to be a southern county of Montréal. We are a sale to them.” How much does the exchange rate play into a Vermont vacation? Back on the deck of the Captaine Haddock, Courval scoffs and says the new rate “doesn’t matter.” Besides, she adds, tourist price-gouging happens no matter how sweet the currency deal. “Things that go for a dollar in Montréal here are like five dollars,” she quips. “A real rip-off, eh?” As if to substantiate her claim, the

children burst out of the sleeping compartment in bathing suits, clutching all manner of cheap trinkets. Tremblay’s kids and their friend Erik Courval plop down on the bench beside her and dump a bag of candy onto the floor. “What do you like about Burlington?” she asks them. “Swimming!” says Erik the spokesman. “Shopping!” adds Anthony. Young Emilie looks on apprehensively. Then the boys dive into the water off the boat’s rear, and she frolics with the dog. If these Canadian tourists have any complaints about Burlington, they’re minimal, and sometimes a bit silly. Courval gripes, for instance, that her car — she drove down to meet her friends — has been towed twice in the last two days. Pierre Tremblay suggests the Champlain Valley Flyer should be “15 or 20 minutes longer.” More importantly, he wishes the Burlington Bay Market and Café still sold beer. “It’s a problem for me,” jokes the visitor. (When questioned about the booze shortage, Gobeille says it’s a complicated licensing dilemma that can’t be helped. He still serves beer for in-house consumption.) With or without take-out Coronas, Tremblay and his sun-soaked entourage appear to be greatly impressed with Burlington and the local folk they’ve met along the way. Last year, Morin recalls, they arrived in Shelburne on the Flyer without realizing that there was no public transit to take them to Shelburne Farms. Fortunately, a librarian gave them a lift. “The city people are all friendly,” she reflects, polishing off her wine. “They’re used to talking with visitors.” At lunchtime on Monday afternoon, the waterfront is still hopping. Over by Breakwater Café and Grill, marina manager Kirk Polhemus chats with a dockworker as a tanker pumps gasoline into one massive, concrete storage tank. Stocky and mustachioed,

Polhemus is a stark contrast to the Canadian tourists aboard the plush Captaine Haddock. Nevertheless, he knows Canadian tourists well, in part because he’s been dealing with them for a good while — since 1976, to be exact. Even while chatting with a reporter, Polhemus keeps busy. Every few minutes, a sporty Canadian in a Zodiac dingy sidles up to the dock for a fill-up or service request. Each time, he greets the new visitor as if he or she were royalty. “Très bon, monsieur,” he says deferentially at one point, hoisting a boater up onto the planks. Once the tourist is out of range, Polhemus loosens up. “I try to learn some French, and it makes ’em happy,” he confides with a knowing smirk. Sure, he continues, there are occasional language barriers with visitors from Québec City. But in the end, “You just listen to ’em and take your time, and it’s amazing how you can figure out what they need.” Like Gobeille and Josh Rooney, the general manager of Breakwater, Polhemus confirms that Canadian business is booming. He reports, for instance, selling roughly four times more gas these days than he did just a few weeks ago. On rainy days, the waterfront regularly turns away about 70 or 80 boats. >> 27A 3x8-CVExpo071807.indd 1

Judging by Polhemus’ initial comments, you’d think Burlington’s waterfront was experiencing an aquatic gilded age. But according to this veteran dock director, it’s not the first time Canadians have flocked to these shores in droves. “When I started doing this, we used to see a phenomenal amount of [Canadian] tourists,� he notes. Now, he stresses, the challenge is to make Burlington a regular destination for a new demographic — the coveted “thirtysomething generation.� He adds, “They need to have a reason to come back. Like anything, you get into a habit.�

the sun scorches Polhemus’ cheeks, boats pass from the harbor into the middle of Lake Champlain. He exchanges greetings — in French — with almost every vessel that drifts by. What’s his impression of our northern neighbors after so many years of serving them? According to Polhemus, Canadians can be a little “aggressive,â€? but not always in a rude way. Since many come from metropolitan areas such as MontrĂŠal and QuĂŠbec City, they have a different set of expectations regarding service, he suggests. If his Zen attitude is any indication, a snooty sailor or two wouldn’t faze this boat pro. Polhemus presides proudly over the planks — more like a museum curator than a seasonal dockworker — and, as the most recent boat wakes subside, muses about cultural priorities. “What’s wrong with our holidays?â€? he says, noting days off in America tend to fall in January or February. Polhemus, for one, might be willing to trade Presidents’ Day for Canada or Bastille Day. “They’re doing things right,â€? he concludes. “They know how to live.â€? ďż˝

Al Gobeille, who also serves on Mayor Bob Kiss’ Moran Plant advisory committee, says Canadians consistently complain about the lack of dock space and showers. He suggests an expansion of Perkins Pier and a new boater-friendly facility at the Moran Plant would bring in more revenue. But he acknowledges that the waterfront, which was revitalized by then-Mayor Bernie Sanders in the 1980s, remains a “political issue.� City administrators, he speculates, are hesitant to divert resources into projects that would only produce revenue in fair weather. Tim Shea, vice president of the Lake Champlain Regional Chamber of Commerce, says his organization has no “formal position� on waterfront development. The chamber, however, just completed a branding study related to Canadian spending habits. Shea points out he’s mainly concerned about a burgeoning federal program — the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative legislation — that could require Canadian travelers to show passports at the border as early as next summer.

Grace A reporter relates his “date” with Vermont phenom Grace Potter
Notes story by Dan Bolles images by Adrien Broom
“Grace Potter? Holy crap!” It’s a phrase that has probably been uttered hundreds of times in the Green Mountains over the past three years. Potter’s ascent from college dropout to festival favorite to national starlet has been well documented: Hardly a soul in her home state hasn’t heard of the Waitsfield-born songstress. But it’s still startling to hear those words from a star-struck stranger at the Dunkin’ Donuts Newport Folk Festival while Potter and her band, the Nocturnals, regale an eager crowd with an impromptu acoustic set. And his reaction indicates just how far they’ve come. Potter, 24, has been written about ad nauseam, especially locally. So why
drive 300 miles to cover the familiar ground of her musical success? Well, for one reason, I’ve got a date. The idea for this story was to go for a night on the town with Potter and explore her status as Vermont’s reigning — perhaps only — sex symbol. Eager as a teenager before the prom, I gussied myself up, even getting a haircut prior to the big night. The idea of dating a budding celebrity seemed too good to be true. Visions of wild celebrity parties, bouts with paparazzi and general glitz and glamour danced through my head as I made the journey from Burlington to Newport. But, as I would soon find out, you can take the girl out of Vermont, but you can’t take Vermont out of the girl.
I arrive in the stately seaside town of Newport, Rhode Island, with roughly an hour to traverse the crowded downtown and find the historic Fort Adams State Park. The site has long been home to the legendary stage where Joan Baez was discovered and Bob Dylan went electric. This weekend, it’s where a sultry brunette from Vermont is staking her claim to rock stardom. The plan is to rendezvous with Grace Potter and the Nocturnals following their early-afternoon set on the Main Stage — but even with an hour to get there, it’s going to be tight. Traffic is backed up from the fort to the Claiborne Pell Bridge. Plus, my A/C crapped out in Boston, and the air is close and soupy. An hour and a half later, I finally pass through the front gates of the festival and hear the familiar strains of the band’s new single, “Ah Mary,” booming over the loudspeakers. Apparently, there was a slight delay in the start time, so I haven’t missed much. Which is great, as it’s never good to keep a woman waiting. I turn the corner to find an undulating sea of people. Several thousand folks of all ages, shapes and colors sit enraptured by GPN’s performance. A small but enthusiastic throng clogs up the middle of the grounds, gyrating as the band rips through an uncharacteristically raucous set. Having seen Grace & Co. at various venues in Vermont, I’m genuinely surprised at how rock-heavy their new material is. The crown jewel is an unreleased song, “If I Were From Paris.” Nearly half the crowd is pumping their fists and nodding their heads by the time Scott Tournet, 30, tears through a Jack White-esque guitar solo. I’m struck by the number of people who seem to know the words, even though the tune won’t appear on an album until the second pressing of the band’s Hollywood Records debut, This Is Somewhere.
Closing their set with “Nothing But the Water,” the title track of their first, non-label album, the band gathers around Matt Burr’s drum set midway through. Burr, 27, keeps the beat before exploding into a fiery solo; the rest of the band rejoins him for a raging finale. The crowd erupts into a lengthy ovation as the band leaves the stage. Glowing, Potter addresses the crowd: “Thanks, guys! It’s been a blast. Stick around. We’ve got The North Mississippi Allstars, The Allman Brothers and, uh . . . some other bands! Thanks!” Exiting stage right, she stumbles over a monitor and falls out of view. As she collects herself, she runs into one of the “other” bands, the John Butler Trio, waiting to take the stage. They are not amused. My cellphone rings as the disgruntled acoustic-jam threesome grinds through a problematic sound check. It’s Burr who informs me that Grace needs an hour or so to collect herself before re-emerging — Burr and Potter, who took a red-eye flight from Boulder, didn’t arrive in Newport until 9 a.m. and are exhausted. We make plans to meet up afterward, and I hang up just as the dreadlocked Butler introduces his band to the crowd. “Hello, Newport! We’re the John Butler Trio and we’re all about peace and love,” he shouts. “Are you with us?” I’m not, but a healthy percentage of the crowd responds with hoots and hollers. I decide to wait out the interim in the beer tent, as bouncy jam-pop fills the air. Folk fest, eh? One hour, two Coronas and $14 later, my phone rings again. I’m told to convene with the band at the Gibson Guitar Tent, a small side stage and Gibson guitar museum, away from the commotion of the main stage. Finally, my date awaits! I approach the stage and adjoining black trailer that houses the museum and notice a middle-aged singer-songwriter sitting forlornly behind a microphone stand, his guitar — a Gibson, of course — resting on his lap. A jostling crowd has gathered in front of the trail-
er. I can make out the soft strums of acoustic guitars and a soulful female voice wafting over the knot of folks blocking the entrance, their necks craned and their cellphone cameras at the ready. This must be the place. I wander around to a side door, where I see a lanky guy in tight black jeans and a wide-brimmed hat clutching a plush doll. Matt Burr strides toward me, goofily grinning from ear to ear, oddly reminding me of both The Black Crowes’ Chris Robinson and Paul Pfieffer from “The Wonder Years.” “Hey, Dan!” he exclaims, holding the doll out to me. “It’s great to see you.” As he moves closer, I recognize the fuzzy thing as
From inside the trailer, the circus at the far end of the tent is even more remarkable. Now I can make out faces whose expressions waver between gawking adoration and straining concentration, as their owners try to keep their footing on the inclined ramp. Back off, jackals, she’s mine. The band eventually decides to take the act outside, and the crowd reforms around the tent. The amateur paparazzi jockey for position. In a matter of minutes, the crowd swells from roughly 20 to about 200. I imagine there must have been several more “Grace Potter? Holy crap!” moments in between. GPN alternates between originals and covers, the intimate set-
stage, and we chat briefly before she’s whisked away again for more meet-and-greets. Damn!
I spend the next hour or so with Burr, strolling the festival grounds with Animal by our side. We talk about life on the road (wild and exhausting), upand-coming bands in Burlington (Farm) and the origins of the whiskey-smuggling Muppet. “He’s my idol, my inspiration,” Burr reveals. “I saw this incredible duet with Animal and Buddy Rich when I was a kid and said, ‘I wanna be that guy.’” Pointing at the doll, he clarifies, “Not Buddy Rich. Him.” I nod sympathetically. We walk past a couple of elderly
From a distance, I can finally see her. She’s radiant, she’s stunning, she’s . . . with the entire band. And her parents. Animal from “The Muppet Show.” “Here, have some,” he says, still offering it. I’m puzzled until he reaches into Animal’s nether regions and produces a bottle of Woodford’s Reserve. “We’re not really supposed to have this,” he informs me as I take a swig, “but it’s a happy day.” I wipe my mouth with my forearm and return the bottle to Animal’s posterior as Burr ushers me into the trailer. There I get my first glimpse of Grace. She’s seated with Tournet and bassist Bryan Dondero, 29 — each with sterling Gibson guitars — who are playing the opening chords to the Allman Brothers classic “Come and Go Blues.”
ting lending itself to an easy backand-forth between Potter and the crowd. She chides the inevitable “Freebird” guy, and relates that, while touring, she and the band often use empty Dunkin’ Donuts cups in lieu of rest stops. The latter statement prompts tour manager Jen Crowell, 24, to hide her face in her hands and shake her head. “No filter,” she laments. At the set’s conclusion, Potter is inundated with autograph seekers and photographers. It’s a lengthy, chaotic experience, but throughout, her magnetic smile never falters. Though she’s clearly tired, she cheerfully obliges every request. I manage to accompany her back-
women who remark, “Nice puppet.” We both chuckle and swig a bit more of Animal’s illicit cargo. Burr and I are wandering toward the VIP tent, discussing GPN’s remarkable growth, when we’re interrupted by thunderous applause: The Allman Brothers are taking the stage. I’ve never been a huge fan of their Southern-rock stylings myself, but the diversity of the crowd suggests their still-wide appeal. It’s an intriguing blend of concert-T-shirt-wearing professional types, aging bikers and youngish hippies. We watch for a while, and then — just as I’m beginning to wonder if my date has been forgotten — we get the call. I pop a
breath mint, run a hand through my hair, and sprint with Burr toward the backstage area. We blow past the security guards, through a jumble of aging Allman groupies, and back to the Press Tent. From a distance, I can finally see her. She’s radiant, she’s stunning, she’s . . . with the entire band. And her parents. Resigned, I reach for my voice recorder and notepad and prepare for an interview, brushing past the corsage hidden in my bag.
“Nobody turns down the joint except for Grace,” Tournet is explaining as we enter the tent. “Grace goes fetal when she’s high.” From her perch on the plush white couch to my left, Grace nods in agreement, shrugging her shoulders. The band is taking turns telling the story of how they were invited onto The Red-Headed Stranger’s tour bus at this year’s South By Southwest Festival. “We didn’t realize that everyone gets invited onto Willie’s bus. We thought we were special,” says Grace, prefacing the story. “. . . so, like, high-school stoned,” Tournet continues. “But then, it was Willie Nelson’s weed. So, out of nowhere, Willie reaches round and, without looking, flicks on the stereo and is, like, ‘Check out this new CD I’ve been working on,’” Tournet recalls with a smile. “It was his reggae album, but at the time, we thought it sounded great.” Dondero tries to interrupt: “So, I can barely see, my eyes are so closed.” Potter cuts him off. “Dude, you can’t tell the real part; you were barely conscious.” “So, here’s what I remember,” says Dondero, undeterred. “I’m standing there and, right when Willie turned up the music, I
remember looking at Scott and we just both had this kind of ominous recognition.” Tournet laughs, and Dondero continues, “So, we’re listening, and it’s like, This sounds cool, this sounds really good. But then I start to feel this really weird sensation, like the blood draining from my face. And I’m starting to sway.” He puts his hands up and begins to mimic himself swaying on the bus. “All of a sudden it’s like, bam! I go headfirst, right into this pole that’s in the center of this crazy bus. I grab the pole before I completely fall over, and all I remember is, just as I look up, I see Willie’s face and him being like, ‘Whoa, man. Are you all right?’” The entire band and I are laughing loudly at this point, causing quite a stir in our little corner of the Press Tent. As people begin looking in our direction, Dondero goes on: “I’m like, ‘Yeah, Willie, I’m all right.’ And then, boom! I did it again. It was terrible.” The obnoxious Vermont delegation erupts in hysterics at this point, including Peggy and Sparky Potter — Mom and Dad. They’ve been sitting just outside the circle, looking on in fawning approval, even as Grace discusses her first experience with psychedelic drugs and lecherous music-biz honchos. The conversation soon drifts to GPN’s recent appearance on “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno” — who, according to Grace, “has the most beautiful blue eyes.” Adds Tournet, “I wanted to hate him, but he was so nice and accommodating. But the thing with Leno is that he wears the same thing every day. He wears the Canadian Tuxedo. I shit you not. Denim shirt, denim jeans. Every day.” “Claire Danes was nice,” adds Potter. “Very skinny and kind of cold, but nice.” >> 30A

Burr jumps in, “Bob Saget was hysterical.” The whole group nods heartily in agreement as the drummer continues, “He kept trying to, like, pimp his daughter on us.” To which Tournet interjects, “Was that Mary Kate or Ashley?” “But he and Jay were rocking out during our song,” Burr concludes. “It was pretty cool.” Later in the tour, GPN had a run-in with an aircraft carrier full of appreciative sailors while they were playing on a boat in San Diego. “I thought it was a private party, so I’m on stage dancing around in basically a bathing suit,” explains Potter, “when all of a sudden there’s this huge boat behind us and, like, hundreds of sailors whooping it up, twirling handkerchiefs. It was pretty embarrassing.” Lucky bastards, I think, my date fantasies evaporating in the late-afternoon sun. We discuss Potter’s recent photo shoot for Glamour. “Oh, God,” she says, rolling her eyes.
there, and I’m really having fun getting back into that side of myself. I mean, on ‘Leno’ I was wearing a fuckin’ sparkly piece of underwear,” she goes on. “It was so much fun. I feel like myself.” If there’s a fear of hometown backlash, Potter doesn’t let on. “I think people’s perception of me has always been a wholesome one. You know, well covered up. A jeans-and-cowboy-boots kind of girl. But I’m getting more comfortable getting back to my roots,” she says. We talk about the new disc’s first single, “Ah Mary,” which is Potter’s first political song, a condemnation of American foreign policy. “Everybody is asking me about that song and whether I’m a lesbian,” she exclaims, exasperated. “They’re like, ‘So, who’s Mary? Is she your girlfriend, or your girlfriend?’ I’m like, ‘Listen to the fucking song again, idiot.’” She eases up, adding, “It’s cool, though. In the context of the song, it’s either about a girl and I’m a lesbian, or I’m a terrorist,”
“I didn’t do a shoot, they just took a photo.” She was obviously not favorably impressed by the experience. “And then they fucking made my lips a completely different color, and they made my skin look green. It was really weird,” she says, visibly bewildered. “I guess green skin is hot, according to Glamour magazine.” The photo was also used by the music mag Harp, which gave The Nocturnals the No Doubt treatment, cropping the band from the original photo. “I hate it,” laments Potter. “The whole band was supposed to be in the photo, but I guess that’s how it goes in Gwen Stefani Land.” A hint of bitterness has entered her voice. But then she rebounds, saying, “Honestly, I don’t think the guys really mind not being in Glamour.” It’s no secret that sex sells in the world of major-label rock music. Though some may shy away from that fact, Potter seems genuinely to embrace it, giggling when I mention the term “sex symbol.” “I think the thing that people don’t know about me, being from Vermont, is that I’m a total glamour-puss,” she says. “It’s a side of me that’s always been
she laughs. “Either way, it works.” From there, the conversation gradually devolves into topics that are, for lack of a better phrase, off the record. All the while, Potter’s parents look on as if we’re discussing her performance in a middle-school production of Annie. It’s striking to me, though not to anyone else here; the group’s openness and honesty about who they are and what they do is refreshing, even touching. We discuss an ongoing feud with electro-jam outfit The Disco Biscuits and a skirmish with John Mayer that may or may not develop. The band name-drops and dishes dirt on a slew of other bands, referring to them in Nocturnals code-speak. GGBB = Good Guys, Bad Band. BGGB = Bad Guys, Good Band, and so forth. The group begins to dissolve after a brief photo shoot — in which unspeakable acts are committed with Animal, much to Burr’s feigned chagrin. Dondero leaves at the behest of his girlfriend, Burlington singer-songwriter Aya Inoue, 24. Potter and Burr return to the stage area to double-check that all their

I watch them go back and forth, Potter the younger running feverishly around the grounds. Distracted by a rowdy crew of workers playing whiffleball at the far end of the field, I hear Sparky Potter’s voice yelling in my direction, “Heads up!” A streak of orange whizzes through my peripheral vision. “If you’re on the field, you’re in the game!” he howls.

Under the voyeuristic celebrity spotlight, imperfections come into sharp focus, and that sometimes leads to a negative reaction, especially in an artist’s hometown. That phenomenon has already begun in Burlington, and Potter is keenly aware of it. “Everybody will always want to get in their little jabs, because everybody wants to be the first person to discover the band and the first person to start hating them,” she grouses. “I’ve actually had lots of conversation with Trey Anastasio about that, too,” Potter adds, referencing the former Phish frontman’s well-documented troubles. “I’ve seen how affected he’s been just by reading what other people are saying about him. “It’s exciting when stuff starts getting written about you,” Potter continues, “but it’s really the ultimate form of narcissism. Honestly, I like looking at the pictures, but the content can be scary.” With hugs all round, I part ways with Grace Potter and the Nocturnals. The sun is setting as I make my way through the large iron gates of the old fort, and I can hear the shouts and laughs of a family at play. Sex, drugs and rock ’n’ roll? Sure, whatever.

or many, the phrase “tree climbing” calls up blissful memories of clambering up the big oak in the backyard. Not me — despite growing up with five active brothers, I wasn’t especially adept at ascending or descending things. As a preschooler I tried to climb through my parents’ greenhouse window — twice — and both times ended up in the hospital. One day when I was 11, I was showing off for my older brother’s best friend by sliding down our spiral staircase banister. I tipped backward, fell three floors to the basement, and got a concussion. But when I received a recent press release promising a “bird’s-eye view of Vermont” from Al Manning’s New England Tree Climbing school in Danville, I decided it was time to branch out from grounded activities and sign up. Manning is the owner of Vermont’s first school for recreational tree climbing, a sport that ropes children and adults alike into the high canopy of hardwoods and pines for the pure fun of it. Since it opened in May, though, he’s had only a
handful of customers. “You say ‘tree climbing,’ and people go, ‘What the hell is that?’” he says. “Everyone thinks you’re an arborist, up there with the chainsaw. This is just the opposite, a family recreational activity where you can get up in the tree and sit there for an hour. You can have a Coke and read a book and relax; that’s what it’s about.” In the three-hour class I signed up for, called the “experience” course, students of all ages learn about equipment and safety in a classroom before climbing a tree using ropes already arranged by Manning. In further advanced classes, students can also learn knot-tying techniques, survival skills and setting up hammocks, à la environmental activist Julia “Butterfly” Hill, who perched in a 180-foot California redwood for 738 days in the late 1990s. Humans have been climbing trees forever, of course — to gather food, cut lumber, clear electrical lines and rescue cats. And kids have been clambering into the branches for just as long.

UI&U in Vermont: we’re here to stay. Danville, I leaf through some background material and learn that the first school for recreational tree climbing — called Tree Climbers International (TCI) — was founded by Peter “Treeman” Jenkins in Atlanta in 1983. In the 24 years since, he’s helped launch “groves,” or chapters, of tree-climbing enthusiasts elsewhere in Georgia as well as in Oregon, Colorado and Taiwan. According to a 2005 New York Times article, many of the tree climbers have nicknames, such as Ponderosa, Swampy Joe and Xenon. The trees sometimes get special names, too — Old Scratchy, Gramps, Lancelot. I’m somewhat disappointed to learn that the nickname for Manning — a 55-yearold émigré from Montréal whose other job is with Pratt & Whitney aircraft — is just AJ. But the tree-climbing site on his property, called Twin Pines, more than makes up for his ho-hum moniker: It’s a 35-acre swath of rolling hills and woods set high on a ridge just east of Joe’s Pond.

there from Burlington one recent afternoon, most of the state is baking in mid-summer heat. But a breeze blows across Twin Pines, where a pretty yellow farmhouse with a matching garage, a swing set, and a horse named Belle are visible from the driveway. The property’s name is misleading: “Twin Pines� is actually studded with thousands of trees. Manning, who moved here with his wife, Brenda, 10 years ago, cleared some of the land and built almost everything. That includes a magnificent tree house, complete with glass windows and a sleeping loft, deep in the woods and 60 feet up.

Also hidden in the forest is a nicknamed birch tree — “Methuselah� stands more than 100 feet tall and has enough branches for several people to climb it at once. At first glance, Manning doesn’t seem like the type to monkey around much: He’s built like a farm silo, has a serious, silvery mustache, and wears the no-nonsense uniform of a khaki shirt and shorts. But it turns out he can climb a tree like a chimpanzee. Manning says he started climbing trees just to cut down branches, then became enamored of the process. Eventually, his four kids convinced him he could build a business out of his tree-climbing habit. Two years ago, Manning began talking with Gary Gross, a co-worker from Connecticut who was interested in starting New England Tree Climbing. The two men decided that Twin Pines would be the first site. As I stare up at the ropes dangling from a grove of 70- to 80-foot trees (unnamed so far) near the farmhouse, it’s hard to see how Manning finds this activity relaxing. But it’s not time to climb yet — except up a few stairs to the classroom above Manning’s garage, where I get a lesson on limbs. As in, how not to lose my own. “All I care about is safety,� says Manning, who shows me how to look for dead branches and other hazards, and how to throw a rope without hurting the trees. “We’re very environmental-

called a B-53. With a “doubleropeâ€? technique, I learn, I’ll be hoisting myself up the tree. A saddle, or harness, and carabiner clipped to one rope, along with safety knots I’ll tie along the way, will ensure that I don’t plummet to the ground like an overgrown acorn. We head back out for my first climb. I do a “BACKâ€? check — belt, anchor, carabiner and knots. Then up I go. Well, not really. In fact, not at all. I fumble with the technique of placing one leg in a loop and moving the B-53 up the rope. But something in my head finally clicks, and, after much patient coaching from Manning, I move toward the treetops. Soon I become addicted to the three-step process: bend knee, slide the B-53, tie safety knots. Before I know it, I’m 20 feet in the air. I’m not swinging like a monkey yet, but I’m comfortable enough to relax and grin down at Al and Brenda Manning. “It’s so nice, isn’t it?â€? Brenda yells. “Just to sit there?â€? I consider asking for a book and a Coke. I contemplate what it might be like to climb Methuselah. Then I just sit there, gazing toward the distant mountains of the Presidential Range, inhaling the pine smell and soaking up the silence of the trees. And I begin to understand how Butterfly could do this for 738 days. ďż˝ Got a comment on this story or ideas for another one? Contact Sarah Tuff at tuff@sevendays vt.com.

Mountain Heir
On Kingdom Mountain by Howard 10:42:05 AM Frank Mosher. Houghton Mifflin, 276 pages. $24.
ermont’s Northeast Kingdom, by its very name, would seem a perfect setting for stories of lost treasure, beautiful royalty and dashing scoundrels. Irasburg author Howard Frank Mosher happily obliges with On Kingdom Mountain, which, like his previous eight novels, is set somewhere in the remote reaches of the Kingdom, this time in 1930. The whole feel of the novel is that of a children’s fairy tale; the storybook-sounding narrator even suggests that arising on Kingdom Mountain is like “waking up in a tale by the Brothers Grimm.� Miss Jane Hubbell Kinneson, the Mountain’s sole denizen, is our “Duchess� — a nickname bestowed on her by the half-admiring, half-cowed townspeople of Kingdom Common, located at its base. (Kingdom Common’s residents are called, appropriately, Commoners.) A retired school marm just turning 50, the Duchess seems to be everywhere at once, running

the town’s combined library-bookstore (called the Athenaeum), giving historical lectures, projecting weekly silent films, carving award-winning sculptures from wood, and running her farm like it’s 1880, not 1930, with two oxen named Ethan and General Ira Allen. The novel finds Miss Jane mired in a dispute with her cousin Eben, the town lawyer and developer, who hopes to bring jobs to this backwater by cutting a road over the mountain to Canada. But Jane will not have it: Her mother’s mother was a Memphremagog Abenaki, and her Scottish father pledged to defend the mountain on behalf of its original inhabitants.
Jane is a bit like a certain real-life unmarried, heir-less, small-town doyenne — the elusive Jane Forbes Clark of Cooperstown, New York. Clark is currently defending that hamlet from the encroachments of development, albeit with ancestral money rather than blood heritage. In On Kingdom Mountain, we get to know Mosher’s Miss Jane about as well as we know her counterpart — that is, not so much. The author is not strong on character development of the psychological kind; all through the book Jane remains the domineering but thoughtful, tireless, independent and beautiful Duchess of her first appearance. This being a modern adult fairy tale, though, Jane can both put up her own pickles and portage her hundred-pound Adirondack guide boat, which she built herself “with an ax and a North Woods crooked knife.� And she can take on a lover. Jane’s dapper, fortysomething admirer, Henry Satterfield of Texas, enters the picture by crashing his yellow biplane at her feet on her 50th birthday in the middle of a March storm. The aviator confirms that he has landed on the same Kingdom Mountain about which his grandfather once told him a riddle — but topples over from a concussion before he can recite it. The riddle concerns the location of $100,000 in gold pieces stolen from the Kingdom Common bank during the Civil War. The novel’s prologue summarizes what is known of this incident, in which two Confederate soldiers carried off the loot. Henry’s grandfather may or may not have been one of them — just as Henry himself may or may not be Courteous Clyde, the famed Depression-era bank robber. In any case, the gold was never found, and Henry wants it. Jane may be able to lead him to the money— which, it is rumored, was buried on her mountain. As if that weren’t enough, there’s the small issue of Henry’s own Creole heritage — another reason mixed-race Jane doesn’t hesitate to take in the Southerner. Race seems like an incidental detail in this narrative, gratuitously carried over from Mosher’s Stranger in the Kingdom — but perhaps the author was thinking it never hurts to remind us that Vermonters are awfully white. Over the course of the novel, Jane comes to think of the hidden money as her own, even though she insists repeatedly that, had her grandfather found the “tainted� treasure, he would have returned it to the bank. This turn never seems quite justified, but it does help add conflict to the lovebirds’ relationship, which generally lags. Between these two converging plot lines — Jane’s quest to defend Kingdom Mountain and Henry’s to find the treasure — what happens is a lot of explication, via dialogue between Jane and Henry. They discuss the kinds of wildlife living on the Mountain (some of them unique

to its microclimate), the activities small towns engage in (community efforts to restore brooks, harvest festivals and the like), and the kinds of people who fill Vermont’s towns during the Depression (itinerant mural painters, designated berrypickers, traveling circus performers). Mosher’s interest in this era is evident, and he creates a historically accurate ghost town high up on Kingdom Mountain whose inhabitants had, by 1920, abandoned their hardscrabble farms for the Midwest or moved down into town. (Jane used to teach in this town’s now-empty schoolhouse.) Despite these efforts at realism, Mosher’s Depression-era Vermont looks like nothing less than a Grant Wood painting, imbued with a deep-green, agrarian timelessness. Those WPA photographs of Vermont’s failing farms, taken in the 1930s, were most likely not part of his otherwise extensive research. But Mosher’s penchant for timelessness is also strategic, allowing him to point to issues that continue to affect Vermont. The composite-sounding Kingdom Mountain, spanning the border
Mosher’s penchant for timelessness is also strategic, allowing him to point to issues that continue to affect Vermont. near Jay Peak, is a tract of wooded wilderness threatened by development — an issue that defined the recent protracted battle over enlarging the Green Mountain National Forest. And the mountain’s “owner” — Jane — claims it was never part of the U.S. or Canada, much less Vermont. Secession, anyone? In a syntactically awkward touch, Mosher also makes “On Kingdom Mountain” the name Miss Jane has given to a room in her house that contains her wood-carved figures. Here she retreats to talk through crises with her “people”: lifesized representations of her ancestors whose names read like a list of New England keywords — Uncle Pilgrim, Grandfather Quaker Meeting, Great-grandfather Freethinker. Jane’s attempt to maintain her link to the past is much like Mosher’s own method of preserving a region’s history: Gather representations of its looming figures around you, mythical or no, as a bulwark against change. Wisely, Mosher does not deny that change is inevitable. But his message is clear: The more we appreciate — which is to say, aggrandize — the heritage of this remote corner of the state, the better chances we have of preserving it. �

Holy Manhandling Theater review: Tartuffe PHOTO COURTESY OF STEFAN HARD
I
n the rogues’ gallery of history’s charlatans, religious hypocrites have made irresistible targets for wagging tongues and acid pens. Pharisees varied their vices over the centuries. During the Renaissance, STORY not-so-celibate popes sired “nephews” to ELISABETH succeed them on the papal throne. Just CREAN last year, a prominent evangelical minister in Colorado preached against homoTartuffe, sexuality while getting meth and “masdirected by Ethan T. Bowen, sages” from a gay male prostitute. Seventeenth-century French playproduced by Lost Nation wright Molière gleefully skewered the Theater. City Seven Deadly Sinning that abounded in Hall Auditorium, the aristocratic and upper bourgeois cirMontpelier, cles orbiting the sumptuous court of his August 9-19, patron, Louis XIV. Church leaders took Thursdays at 7 p.m., part in the decadence, and a debate raged Fridays and over how their corruption and cupidity Saturdays conflicted with Catholicism’s professed at 8 p.m., values. Molière’s acerbic and insightful Sunday, comedy Tartuffe takes aim at holy men August 12 at 7 p.m. who loudly proclaim piety and asceticism and Sunday, while secretly indulging baser instincts. August 19 His timeless understanding of human at 2 p.m. folly, brilliantly rendered in snappy dia$20-25. logue, makes the play as fresh and funny today as it was in 1669. Lost Nation’s terrific current production of Tartuffe reveled in the rhythms of Molière’s language as well as its kneeslapping comic joys. Director Ethan T.

Lost Nation’s production of Tartuffe reveled in the rhythms of Molière’s language as well as its knee-slapping comic joys. ful verse translation, which makes Molière’s couplets feel like natural — albeit eloquent and witty — conversation. Bowen smartly accentuated the regularity of the poetry’s meter by using symmetry as the key to his directorial design. The set was laid out on-center, and the actors were often arrayed symmetrically on stage. This framed the action in a visually pleasing way while containing some of the ebullient cast’s tendencies toward farcical excess. As the play opens, almost everyone is on to the titular faux holy man’s game, except the man who matters most: midlife-crisis-addled Orgon, who’s master of the house if not of his own wits. Orgon has taken Tartuffe into his home, rescuing the supposed noble fallen on hard times and coming under his spell of extreme religious selfdenial. Orgon begins denying things to himself and his family while lavishing gifts on Tartuffe. Meanwhile, the monk works on getting the prize he most desires: having his way with Orgon’s sexy young wife, Elmire. The protestations of Orgon’s family only strengthen his resolve to show them he’s the boss. He won’t listen to his sage brother-in-law Cléante, who points out, “Those whose hearts are truly pure and lowly / Don’t make a flashy show of being holy.” Orgon decides to cement his relationship with
and fruitlessly, against the match. Orgon doesn’t even believe Elmire when she tells him Tartuffe tried to seduce her. Can she finally undo the phony by orchestrating a second seduction attempt, so that Orgon overhears Tartuffe’s sophistry? The holy man’s twisted logic of lust is priceless: “Some joys, it’s true, are wrong in Heaven’s eyes / Yet Heaven is not averse to compromise . . . And any wrongful act you care to mention / May be redeemed by purity of intention.” One wonders how many times less lyrical versions of these lines have rolled off the tongues of reallife bogus Bible-thumpers. For Lost Nation’s production, director Bowen seemed to be trying to highlight the play’s perennial relevance by evoking different time periods in the visual elements. Jenny Fulton’s pretty set dripped with Art Deco details — stylized Neoclassical furniture and design flourishes, tied together by a swanky cream, gold and pale-green color scheme. Kate Jansyn Thaw’s costumes careened up and down the fashion timeline. Elmire’s elegant black-and-silver gown fit the Deco décor, as did Orgon’s considerably more casual pale-blue, double-breasted suit. The trendy trio of teens, however, looked like they walked out of Old Navy without checking a mirror. Cléante’s tweed jacket said, “Off to the Yale Club for a G&T.” Tartuffe’s cream suit, while
exquisitely tailored, seemed the stylistic product of a Conan O’Brien “If They Mated” segment — between Nehru and Don Johnson. And, after all the modern mishmash, the final character appeared in full 17th-century regalia: bewigged, masked, in buckled shoes and breeches! The overall effect of the clothing hodgepodge was disconcerting and, at times, distracting. The acting, however, rose to a higher and much more consistent standard. Dialogue in verse is demanding. In Tartuffe, every line is part of a rhyming couplet, every syllable integral to the poetic meter. The slightest stumble sticks out. The actors had clearly embraced the linguistic challenge with zest, and were nearly letter-perfect by last Saturday’s matinee. The star was Abby Paige, as the impertinent Dorine. The button-pushing, manipulative maid sasses her boss while sticking up for her vulnerable young charge, Marianne. Paige drew on a hilarious range of facial expressions and physical gestures to underscore Dorine’s flippant digs, which she tossed off with ease and relish. Her jaw jutted, eyes flashed, lips pursed and twisted — and she jabbed her feather duster like a lethal weapon. Alicia Rodis, as Elmire, and G. Richard Ames, as her brother Cléante, also inhabited Molière’s words with a great sense of naturalism. Both spoke the poetry conversationally, while retaining its metrical grace — not an easy feat. Ames was particularly successful in his long tirades to Orgon about Tartuffe, sounding convincingly like a passionate brother-in-law trying to protect his family, not a versifying actor. Rodis carried off an even trickier task: wrestling with the slick, smarmy Tartuffe verbally and physically. She conveyed the comedy without resorting to slapstick silliness. The rest of the cast ventured a little further into farce. It was highly entertaining, but perhaps not entirely true to the play’s main comic thrust — illustrating the well-deserved comeuppance of a cad. As Tartuffe, Dan Renkin channeled
Nathan Lane — flexibly expressive, funny and physical, but mugging for the cheap seats just a tad much. Peter Husovsky captured Orgon’s frustration, exasperation and frequent outbursts of red-faced choler. His interpretation amused, but the forceful striding and gesticulating felt somewhat two-dimensional. Over-the-top characterizations worked well, however, for the secondary roles. The teen trio delighted with their tabloidworthy immaturity and hotheaded antics. Jodie Pfau made Marianne into a Nicole Richie waif with kohl-rimmed saucer eyes, perpetually pleading and pouty. Pfau’s charming aura of helplessness showed how Marianne inspires the adolescent machismo of those trying to save her. Steve Svec portrayed the reckless brinksmanship of her brother Damis with edgy gusto. Michael Peterson conjured the bipolar lunacy of her lover Valère with goofy enthusiasm. Stylization worked well in the minor roles, too. Both Tim Tavcar and Hiroko Sawaki had a pair of small parts. Tavcar painted the Bailiff ’s unctuousness and the Police Officer’s pomposity with aplomb. Sawaki conveyed the servant’s balance of self-importance and humility in her mostly mute roles. Only Lisa Jablow, in the larger part of Orgon’s mother, Madame Pernelle, failed to inhabit her character effectively. Molière’s language seemed not to roll off her tongue. It drove home the point so often illustrated by mediocre productions of Shakespeare: When it comes to dialogue written in verse, merely reciting the lines fails to convey the meaning. An actor can pronounce every word, and the audience can still have no idea what is being said. But this exception just underscored the phenomenal achievement of the rest of the cast, which was giving wing to Molière’s glorious language. His nearly 350-year-old comedies are amazingly modern and side-splittingly funny. As with all haute cuisine, the preparation and presentation take considerable skill. And at Lost Nation, chef Bowen and company served up a tasty Tartuffe. m

masculinity or femininity. Perhaps a significant part of the problem is how you perpetuate the notion that only men (as defined by their genitalia) are to be a part of the solution. As you consider what it might take to provide a credible challenge to the governor’s race, I’ll encourage you to look above the waistline. While you’re at it, don’t hover around the bust line, either. Troy Headrick BURLINGTON
IRISH UP There’s only so much space made available to Peter Freyne each week, and the relatively few Vermonters who are sufficiently familiar with the north of Ireland might not be enough to warrant a lengthy essay in a column typically addressed to Vermont politics. Nonetheless, Peter’s interview with David Trimble [“Inside Track,” July 25] was immensely disappointing. An introductory section preceding an interview is always needed so as to orient the reader, but Peter used up far more space than was needed and devoted far more of it to talking about himself than his subject. In the published interview itself, Peter asked only two questions reaching Ireland and then got an answer to only one of them. For a writer who usually is careful to research his material, is attentive to details, and who is not easily intimidated, the Trimble column was not a representative offering. From conversations I’ve had with Peter over several years, I know he’s more knowledgeable than this column would suggest. Perhaps that is what is most troublesome. Have you joined the West Brits, Peter? David Trimble is not someone deserving of any degree of admiration. He got his start in politics as a member of the Ulster Vanguard movement, which gave
political cover to loyalist terror gangs. He is a longtime member of the Orange Order, which insists on parading through Catholic neighborhoods every year, wreaking havoc as they go. In 1996, he shook hands with Billy “King Rat” Wright, who reportedly murdered as many as 200 people for the unpardonable sin of being Catholic. Despite being officially their representative in Parliament, he steadfastly refused to meet with his Catholic constituents who resided in the Garvaghy Road neighborhood. In 1997, he and Ian Paisley danced a jig together as the Orange Order paraded down Garvaghy Road, illuminated by the flames roaring from 17 Catholic homes. Although a participant in the talks that culminated in 1998’s Good Friday Agreement, he spent three years resisting peace talks getting underway and, once the Agreement was made, personally obstructed its implementation for several more years until he was voted out of Parliament, the job being then taken over by Ian Paisley, widely regarded as “Dr. No.” I expect that we’ll see Peter back in his usual stride next week, giving us the inside track on the comings and goings of Vermont politics. That’ll be good. But he was slacking this week. Graydon Wilson BURLINGTON
Wilson chairs the Green Mountain Unit of Irish Northern Aid. EMPTY INSIDE? Wow, sounds like somebody needs a hug. It’s too bad that someone with the brains and obvious food skills of Alice Leavitt [“GuiltFree Food,” July 25] can’t see the obvious and important reasons to eat more locally. Or at least acknowledge that people making a serious effort to simultaneously improve their diet, the economic conditions of local farmers and food producers and the
food security of the region are important (we will just skip over carbon reduction, fuel use, life cycle analysis and responsible human being issues). I suspected that a lot of this diatribe was engineered to elicit a response, so I couldn’t even get that worked up. But I will say of the many comments that are “smack you in the face, cry for the horror student, er, I mean honor student . . .” type, the comment about eating the tortured animals first was the one most obviously crying for attention (in the form of letters such as this, I suspect). While I enjoyed her writing style, most of this piece had little information worth thinking twice about. I wonder at the motivation for pieces like this in Seven Days. Not enough letters to print, maybe, or just lacking editorial talent? Buzz Ferver WORCESTER
QUEER QUESTIONS I felt the need to respond to Lee J. Kahrs’ article, [“Bar None,” July 18], which was about the gay and lesbian community in Vermont based on Pride this past July 8 . . . Another voice is definitely needed here. I am from New York City and moved here to B-town eight and a half years ago. Prior to moving here I worked at a gay and lesbian card and gift shop for four and a half years, which opened its doors to the G&L community in 1994, the same month as the Gay Games New York. I mention this because I have seen the assimilation of the gay and lesbian community forefront and outright. . . . When I came out, I felt like I was part of something, something that not many people in the straight world would understand and that was OK. I was able to meet and rub shoulders with many leaders in the gay and lesbian communities, and they were all
instrumental to me in accepting myself. I met people from ACT-UP, the Gay Men’s S&M Association, the Lambda Legal Defense, the Anti-Violence Project and so many other organizations. Then came the late ’90s, and something happened: There was seemingly more acceptance of those who were gay and lesbian in many different communities around the world, allowing many queer folks to turn towards conservatism and mainstream themselves. Urvashi Vaid wrote about this in her 1994 book, Virtual Equality: The Mainstreaming of Gay and Lesbian Liberation. This was in 1994 that she stated that the G&L liberation movement was co-opted by conservatives and this would change the community in a negative way in the future. She called it! Where the G&L communities were more sex-positive and more attuned to creating trends, now gays and lesbians follow trends set by straight culture. The gay and lesbian liberation movement was birthed on the coattails of the civil-rights and hippie movements. From these it took the values of nonconformity and separation — two things that were frowned upon by mainstream society. We now have a community that wants a nuclear family instead. We are the Wills and Jacks — of TV’s “Will and Grace” — pathetically searching for companionship and then thriving on societal acceptance by giving way to straight ideals or . . . we are the Fab 5’s (“Queer Eye for the Straight Guy”) outrageous, attention-starved drama queens. There isn’t any in between . . . Where the Pride rainbow flag stood for diversity in the community, we show less diversity today. I see the problem as not being just one for the gay and lesbian community but for society as a whole. In my opinion, the G&L
community was somewhat better off when it was ostracized and unwelcomed because it made everyone in it more socially and politically active. Elliott Matos BURLINGTON
UNFUNNY COMIC “Herb and Rose.” Is it really necessary? I remember a month or two ago, there was a strip relating to the let-down of the “SpiderMan” movie. I thought, perhaps we’re turning a corner. Perhaps “Herb and Rose” will escape their endlessly self-referential schtick and actually get around to making an interesting, even funny, comic. Unfortunately, it was a blip. And this week [“Herb and Rose,” July 25] it’s a rerun. A boring rerun. I understand “Dykes to Watch Out For” is only every other week, but honestly, blank space would be less irritating than this visual exercise in omphaloskepsis. Solvei Blue COLCHESTER

W EXHIBIT “Live Earth”: a group exhibit of paintings and sculptures. West Branch Gallery & Sculpture Park, Stowe. Through September 9.
ARTWORK “Cartwheeling in the Meadows of Wildflowers” by Sally Linder
PHOTO Marc Awodey
hen the owners of Stowe’s West Branch Gallery & Sculpture Park asked a group of artists to respond to the broad theme of “the relationship of humans to the environment,” they risked ending up with an awkward show. But thanks to the strength of its “stable,” the exhibition entitled “Live Earth” is, aptly, alive with natural aesthetic diversity. Its 21 participants neither slavishly pandered to nor totally disregarded the theme in the more than 80 pieces on display. Many fresh works by some of Vermont’s most substantial and best-known artists appear. Sally Linder’s previous projects, such as “The Ark of Hope” and “Remembering the Primates,” are enough to earn her the designation of artist/activist. Her nonobjective paintings in this exhibition, however, represent a departure from her sometimespreachy narrative content. These exquisitely executed canvasses seem primarily concerned with expressing an absolute joy of creation, making Linder’s abstract acrylics both powerful and refreshingly playful. The 26-by-30-inch “Cartwheeling in the Meadows of Wildflowers” contains an energetic flurry of varied lines, and patches of majestic hues dance between translucent and opaque veils of color. Though the painting’s overall field is golden orange and yellow, passages of lilac, sapphire and cerulean blue add both structure and zest to the composition.
While Linder cartwheels, Janet Fredericks has immersed herself “in the being and conscience of water,” as her artist’s statement reveals. Her main interest of late has been the New Haven River, near her home in Lincoln. A roughly 36-by-40-inch riparian abstraction with the diary-like title “8/15/06 17:20” is described in patches of blue and burnt-orange acrylic glazes, through which flow eddies and ripples of black-andwhite drawing media. Fredericks composed the image on a slight diagonal and enriched the surface of this recent work with a wax varnish — obliquely referencing the stream’s surface. Other mature abstractionists in the show include Galen Cheney and Helen Shulman. Cheney’s “Ghost Spring” is as ethereal as Fredericks’ paintings are fluid. Her vertically oriented 43-by-36-inch oil is a rhythmically textured fugue of yellows and whites, punctuated by red palette-knife slashes and pirouettes. Turquoise clouds float among the reds, with the pale hues settled more deeply into the picture plane. Shulman locates hints of geometric structure in her similarly scaled oil, “Finding What I Wasn’t Looking For.” Planes of creamy white, umber and sienna are illusionistically folded, like vaguely rendered sheets of origami paper, into soft-edged triangles and quadrilateral shapes.
While abstract paintings dominate the indoor part of the show, it also offers representational works — such as Aline Ordman’s simple, direct Vermont scenes and the studied realism of Susan Hoffman’s mallard duck — along with a wide range of other paintings, constructions, monoprints and pedestal sculptures. Several of the 34 pieces on view in the spacious sculpture park were installed specifically for this show. Among them is a subtle masterpiece by gallery co-owner Chris Curtis. “Spring Cascade Fountain” is an ovoid-shaped found stone about 47 inches long and 18 inches high, with a cool spring gently erupting from its center. The water flows across the granite through what appears to be a rusted channel eroded over thousands of years. Patches of lichen cling to the rock, and ripples of sunlight weave in and out of the spring’s patterns. But of course this is a carefully crafted illusion. Curtis expertly polished the groove that serves as the water’s channel, located over a naturally occurring, reddish rind in the rock, and altered the overall shape to further enhance our impression of the fountain’s organic development. The French painter Pierre Bonnard (1867-1947) once stated, “Art will never be able to exist without nature.” In practice, though, we humans tend to reverse the first and last words of that sentence. m

The rest of us can view her selected works at the Burlington bar through August. Pictured: “Teensy.�

by david thomas
playing the electronic field
Cinema Slump Played any good movies lately? In what has become a summer rite of passage in the games business, publishers flood the market with titles tied to flicks that Hollywood hopes will turn into box-office gold. Movie executives have figured out that no matter how poor the plot and flat the acting, with enough explosions you can fill a theater with popcorn munchers. However, video-game suits haven’t come to grips with the corollary. It’s almost impossible to make a good game from a bad movie. A recent crop of flicks seem to prove the point. Transformers, Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer and Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End didn’t manage to do much more than solicit a collective sigh from moviegoers. Metacritic.com, a website that conveniently averages scores from whichever review sites it can get its hands on, dishes out a score of 60 out of 100 for the robot movie, 45 for the superheroes and a flat 50 for the pirates. Fans rate the movies a little higher, but not much. And how did the movie-based games fare? Within a few points, games scored about the same as their respective films. Only “Pirates” did a little better, earning a score of 58 compared with the film’s 50. In fairness, each of these games has its charms. But saddled to a film property, none of them really invents anything new. Each game labors through a film-related plotline and strings together conventional action-adventure gameplay that’s as generic as the movies themselves. In “Transformers,” for example, you’ll have fun transforming from a giant robot into a Camaro. But unless you are 9 years old, the move gets dull after about the third time. What happens when game developers get their hands on a good movie? While Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix didn’t exactly tear up the charts, it pulled down a respectable 71 on Metacritic, and its
“Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer” $43.99 Nintendo DS, Wii, PS2, PS3, Xbox 360 T for Teen
game was close with a 68. Ratatouille, on the other hand, stands out as a potential anomaly, with an almost perfect Metacritic score and an only OK game rating. Why the gap? Game critics who are more likely to stay up all night playing “Halo” than changing diapers miss the fact that, while the movie appeals to all ages, the “Ratatouille” game was built just for kids. Watching children enjoying the game makes it clear that the PlayStation easily keeps up with the cineplex for this animated fare. For years, gamers have assumed that bad games were the natural outcome of any movie license. It may be tough to make a great game from something as constrained as a movie property. But it’s not impossible. Last year, when EA decided to make a game out of The Godfather, Francis Ford Coppola threw a fit. Gamers, by contrast, greeted the game with general enthusiasm. In the future, smart gamers should hold off complaining about a new movie-based game until they’ve

flipped through their local newspaper and checked out the film scores. Who’s It For: Movie games are for movie fans. More and more, that means kids. If you think your average 7- to 12-year-old will like a movie, then you can pretty much count on a game to offer the same level of entertainment. If You Like This, Try That: Enjoy games based on movies? Try some movies based on games. Tomb Raider broke the long-standing curse of game-based movies, while “Resident Evil” has established a solid run as both a game franchise and a movie series.

theborowitzreport McCain Puts Straight Talk Express on eBay
I
n what some political observers are calling an ominous sign for his cash-starved White House bid, Republican presidential hopeful Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., today posted his campaign bus, The Straight Talk Express, on the Internet auction site eBay. Mr. McCain’s denied that the move stemmed from money problems, stressing instead that he had decided to sell the bus so that it would no longer provide fodder for sarcastic headlines such as “Wheels Come Off Straight Talk Express” or “Straight Talk Express: Out of Gas?” “The Straight Talk Express was giving headline writers too much to work with,” Sen. McCain told reporters. “They won’t be able to do that anymore, now that I’m getting around from town to town on a Segway.” Davis Logsdon, dean of the journalism school at the University of Minnesota, said that the number of sarcastic headlines riffing on the name of Mr. McCain’s campaign had swelled to as many as 7000 in the last two weeks alone. “Every morning, newspapers were running headlines like ‘Straight Talk Express Runs into a Ditch’ or ‘Straight Talk Express Has a Flat Tire,’” Professor Logsdon said. “There was even one that said ‘Straight Talk
Express Low on Windshield Wiper Fluid,’ whatever that means.” But even as Mr. McCain swapped his campaign bus for a Segway scooter, there were signs that his efforts to avoid sarcastic headlines about his mode of transportation had not been successful, as the Toledo Blade ran a story entitled, “McCain Campaign: Segway to Defeat?”
Every morning, newspapers were running headlines like “Straight Talk Express Runs into a Ditch” or “Straight Talk Express Has a Flat Tire.” Prof. Logsdon Elsewhere, President Bush said that his successful colonoscopy was “proof that invasions work.”

ARIES (March 21-April 19): “The face is the
most erotic part of the body,” says fashion designer Vivienne Westwood. Try out that perspective for a while, Aries. Your assignment in the coming week is to enjoy getting excited by faces that captivate your imagination. This isn’t just about pure physical beauty, of course. You should also be alert to the titillating wisdom and arousing compassion that are revealed in their features . . . as well as the ripples of inscrutable emotions and the flows of secret knowings.
TAURUS
(April 20-May 20): Lately, it’s as if you’ve been riding a roller coaster on which you’re forbidden to scream. It’s as if you’ve been trying to suppress your laughter as you watch a series of the funniest stand-up comedians on the planet. It’s like you’ve been ordered to sit stiffly in a chair and keep your feet motionless while your favorite band plays the dance music you love best. I hope you won’t put up with this predicament any longer, Taurus. Either scream, laugh, and dance, or else escape any situation that’s keeping you clamped down.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “I do not wish to
hear about the moon from someone who has not been there,” wrote 19th century wit Mark Twain. That’s an extreme statement of how important it is to formulate conclusions based on first-hand knowledge rather than on hearsay and random opinions. In the coming weeks, this principle will be even more crucial to your mental health than it usually is. In my astrological opinion, you need to significantly increase the proportion of information you acquire through your direct perceptions, as well as from people who’ve had intimate contact with the things you’re curious about.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): “Dear Rob:
Do you have any tips on dealing with fear that paralyzes you? Like say I need to tell a certain someone how I really feel. My heart keeps telling me to do it. My mind keeps telling me to do it. But my fear makes me put it off again and again. And I don’t have much time before the window of
opportunity closes. Please help! I don’t want to miss out! - Cowardly Cancerian.” Dear Soon-To-BeCourageous Cancerian: In accordance with cosmic rhythms, which are conspiring to assist you in summoning hidden reserves of chutzpah, I hereby assign you to actually do the thing you fear at one of these times: Friday, August 10 between 7 and 9 pm; Saturday, August 11 between noon and 2; Sunday, August 12 between 3:30 and 6 pm; or Monday, August 13 between 6 and 8 pm.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): I predict you will dream
about at least three of the following things in the coming week: a flying carpet, a genie’s lamp, the food of the gods, a wizard’s wand, healing ointment, a silver chalice, and enchanted mud. “So what?” you might be saying. “What do dreams, no matter how fun they might be, have to do with my pursuit of happiness in the cold, cruel world of my waking life?” And I say unto you, Leo, that these dreams will mysteriously transform your psyche in such a way that you’ll be able to accomplish magic that may have seemed impossible before.
VIRGO
(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Why fight for rights that are already yours, Virgo? Why sacrifice yourself for the benefit of people who wouldn’t fully appreciate your gifts? And why are you even thinking about dividing when you should be multiplying? Any of these acts would be a crime against yourself. So listen up: You just have to hold out a little longer. If you can avoid running up a big karmic debt in the next few days, if you can refrain from hurting yourself in a misguided attempt to fix situations that can’t be fixed, you’ll be home free. Soon the whole cast of monsters, demons, and goons will pack up their inane torture devices and go trundling back to the hells where they came from.
LIbRA
(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): When you see a shooting star, you’re usually looking at a piece of cosmic debris that’s 30 to 60 miles away and no bigger than a grain of rice. As it streaks through the atmosphere, the compression of air in front of it creates a shock wave, generating enough heat
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “Dear Rob: In the
past few weeks, life has been opening me up over and over again, as if I were a rose that couldn’t stop blooming. Every perception hits me with a soothing bolt of clarity. Every conversation is gracefully sculpted, as if composed by a higher power. I’m listening and actually hearing what people really mean. I feel accountable for each word that comes out of my mouth. It’s amazing. Do you have any tips for keeping this state going on forever? I’m afraid I’ll slip back into a duller, more self-absorbed state. - Scorpio On Fire.” Dear Scorpio: Don’t cling. Don’t be grasping or anxious. Instead, do what is potentially every Scorpio’s specialty: Die and be reborn every day. Again and again, kill off the magic that’s working so well and artfully resurrect it in a transformed version.
SAGITTARIUS
(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): In Infinite Jest, novelist David Foster Wallace imagines what life will be like in the future. One big change is that the years will no longer be known by numbers. The naming rights will have been sold to corporate sponsors. What might have been 2013 and 2014, for instance, will be the Year of Dairy Products from the American Heartland and the Year of the Depend Adult Undergarment. I thought it might be fun to borrow that idea for your horoscope, especially in light of the fact that imminent events may play a big role in defining the main themes of 2007. Will this turn out to be your Year of Fertility Rites in the Wild Frontier? Or maybe the Year of Your Inner Animal’s Intelligence Upgrade? Or the Year of Your Fantastic Voyage to the Cosmic Lost and Found? We’ll soon find out.
CAPRICORN
(Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Certain religions whose names I won’t mention have given prayer a bad name. It has come to be associated with sentimentality, desperation, delusion, greed and wishful thinking. But I prefer to define prayer as an intention to align your emotions and thoughts with the highest possible good. Can you give that definition a whirl? I hope so. It’s Big Wild Prayer Week, a time when you will have an extraordinary ability to get in sync with almost unimaginably catalytic currents of cosmic beauty and truth.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “Desire is
not an occupation,” croons the lead singer of the industrial rock band KMFDM. But I beg to differ, at least as far as you’re concerned. For the immediate future, it would definitely not be totally crazy for you to play hooky from your job and stop doing all the busy work you usually do so that you could fully devote yourself to exploring the riddles of your deepest longings. I’m not just talking about the yearning for love and sex, but every single one of your bone-aching, abyss-tempting, realitycrunching hungers.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): I’d like to see
you permanently lose at least 50 percent of your chronic aggravation. And I have an idea about how you might do that. Choose a day when you’ve got the leisure time to spend one intense half hour cursing about everything that annoys, frustrates, and upsets you. For those 30 minutes, you’ll allow yourself to unleash tremendous ferocity as you commune with visions of your outrage. Giving yourself that permission—so my theory goes— would drain the backlog of vexation you’ve been carrying around. If you do it right, your spirit will be purged of the sour heaviness of background rage for at least eight weeks, probably longer.

film review
The Bourne Ultimatum HHHH
G BOURNE TO BE WILD Damon turns in another watchable performance as the amnesiac agent in the trilogy’s final installment.
race Slick said something rather pithy, I thought, in this month’s issue of Interview. When asked by editor Ingrid Sischy what irked her most about the notion of growing old and dying, she replied, “It pisses you off that you’re going to miss the soap opera . . . what’s going on with the planet.” That sentiment came to mind as I watched the satisfying final installment in the Bourne trilogy. I meditated on how shrewdly the Cold War novels of the late Robert Ludlum have been updated to reflect the present state of world affairs — and how riveted a political junkie like the author would have been by the crazy chapters this administration has added to the national story over the last few years. Back in Ludlum’s day, of course, the U.S. was one of two superpowers, and there wasn’t a whole lot of
Hot Rod HH
I CRASH FEST DUMMY Andy Samberg and his “SNL” buddies have a high old time falling off things in this comedy.
s there a crisis in American masculinity? The lineup of trailers before a recent showing of Hot Rod suggests so. In Drillbit Taylor, due next March, some geeky teens hire Owen Wilson — that notorious tough guy — to protect them from a bully. In Mr. Woodcock, coming in September, a successful self-help writer starts acting like a whiny kid when he finds out his mom is marrying the gym teacher who tormented him in high school. Then there’s Hot Rod itself. Our hero, the titular Rod (Andy Samberg), is a twentysomething who makes Wayne and Garth of Wayne’s World look like seasoned men of the world. He lives with his folks and isn’t employed, except for kinda-sorta being a stuntman — a job for which he has neither training nor talent but plenty of zeal. His deceased dad really was a professional daredevil, and Rod periodically fondles an old photo of Pop standing beside Evel Knievel. Having grown up without a proper father figure, Rod is obsessed with proving his cajones: He wears a fake mustache and makes frequent, ill-fated attempts to beat up his military-man stepfather (the fine British character actor Ian McShane). In some of the movie’s funniest and most plausible scenes — which isn’t saying much — Samberg and McShane go at each other with any household objects on hand. But it’s no use — as his stepdad diplomatically puts it, Rod “sucks at being a man.” Hot Rod has some comic talent behind it. Director Akiva Schaffer, Samberg and Jorma Taccone — who plays Rod’s stepbrother — have been producing digi-
question in the civilized world about who was the good guy. Americans didn’t know much about the inner workings of their government’s shadowy intelligence agencies, merely that the shadow they cast was long and the cause they served was just. This was Marlboro Country, and ignorance was bliss. Today we’re older, wiser and a hell of a lot more cynical. Which is why Jason Bourne has edged out James Bond as the thinking person’s secret agent of choice. What a dead-on metaphor he’s become for a military-industrial killing machine that has lost its way. In The Bourne Ultimatum, we arrive at the culminating moment when the amnesiac operative’s identity is revealed to him. In a development that’s at least as significant, witnesses remind him how and why he came to be ensnared in the whole nasty, labyrinthine spy business in the first place. But first we do what we have loved doing from the start. We watch Bourne outsmart, outdrive, and outfight everything the planet’s last standing superpower can throw at him. Ten years ago, who would have guessed the most enthralling undercover agent of our time would be brought to life by Matt Damon, a boy-next-door type who appeared destined to play the lead role in The Ron Howard Story — should such an unlikely biopic ever be greenlighted? A lot of actors prepare for parts by internalizing complex back-stories for their characters. Damon enjoyed no such advantage with the role of Jason Bourne, yet he stands as one of the coolest, most compelling creations in recent action cinema. Under the deft direction of Paul (The Bourne Supremacy, United 93) Greengrass, Damon turns in another wildly watchable performance. Early on, his character discovers that a British journalist (Paddy Considine) has stumbled on his story and begun pub-
tal videos since 2001, calling themselves The Lonely Island. Recently, they were hired by “Saturday Night Live” and gave the ailing show a shot of youth and YouTube notoriety with the viral clips “Lazy Sunday” and “Dick in a Box.” But their style doesn’t transfer well to feature length in this movie scripted by “South Park” writer Pam Brady. Samberg is so closely associated with Generation Y that he seems adrift in this retro story, which takes place in the present but plays like an extended parody of ’80s movies. Every other scene is a slo-mo training
lishing pieces about him. Shades of Valerie Plame? Figuring the journalist’s source must be someone capable of answering questions about his past, Bourne tracks the reporter down, only to realize the two of them are being tracked in turn by an ultra-secret new branch of the CIA. This offshoot has a license to kill and an imperious director (David Strathairn) who doesn’t mind using it — even against civilians and the agency’s own. Ostensibly, the function of Operation Blackbriar is to deal brutally and behind closed doors with anyone anywhere who’s considered a potential threat to national security. The techniques it employs are straight out of the Bush-Cheney playbook — rendition, unlawful detainment, torture. The black op’s primary mission, however, seems to be protecting the secret of its own existence. That and trying to kill Jason Bourne certainly are the two things on which it appears to expend most of its time and resources. The twists, the chases and especially the fight scenes are classic Bourne. Sure, it’s highly choreographed, cleverly edited hooey, but the lightning-fast martial-arts sequences in these films have always impressed me as the most liquid since the glory days of Steven Seagal. Of the summer’s numerous threequels, this is far and away the most successful at blending political comment with good old-fashioned globetrotting, gunblasting thrills. And the answer the superagent’s been chasing for the past half-decade? Considering its placement at the close of a summer blockbuster, it is surprising in both its moral complexity and its suitability as an allegory for the road this country has gone down over roughly the same period. Jason Bourne, after all, is hardly the only American to have found himself in a tough spot lately because powerful people lied and misled him there. RICK KISONAK
montage or a riff on some other convention of those cheesy flicks where An Underdog Has a Dream, from Footloose to The Karate Kid to Flashdance. Meanwhile, though, nerdy little bro Kevin (the hilariously deadpan Taccone) is making digital vids of Rod’s pratfalls and posting them on the Internet. You’d think that, inhabiting the camera-happy 21st century, Rod might have a smidgen more self-awareness. You also might think that, in a world where “Jackass” can exist and spawn two hit features, he would see where his true talent lies: in doing stupid, dangerous crap. By giving their hero Evel Knievel as a role model rather than Johnny Knoxville, the filmmakers take the easy way out, satirizing a dead genre rather than a current one. Likewise, there’s a bit mocking the squareness of AM radio that sounds like it was scripted in 1989. Given all these creaky devices — plus Isla Fisher as an underwritten love interest — it’s fortunate Lonely Island comes through with some bits of absurdist comedy. They’d work a lot better as disconnected clips on YouTube, which is probably where they’ll end up. With his dimples and goofy grin, Samberg is so puppy-doggish he makes you wish a director would adopt him and put him in a smarter movie. As for Rod, it’s lucky for him he lives in such a gentle, outdated universe — because in ours, a kid heedless of death and desperate to prove his manhood might look mighty good to unscrupulous army recruiters trying to make quota.

The big Cheese digesting Vermont’s three-day dairy extravaganza by SUZANNE PODHAIZER
T
hree days, 1200 cheeses — it sounds like the “challenge� on some newfangled dairy-based reality show. In actuality, it describes the artisan cheese community’s equivalent of the Academy Awards. This year the American Cheese Society’s annual conference and competition took place right here in Vermont. How did our little state get to host the largest American cheese contest ever? Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that Vermont has the highest number of artisan cheeses per capita. Or that the organization’s current president is Allison Hooper, co-owner of the Vermont Butter & Cheese Company. It doesn’t hurt that famous cheese-guide authors Jeff Roberts and Ellen Ecker Ogden live here, too. The conference took place at the Sheraton Hotel in Burlington. Each day, producers, retailers and cheese enthusiasts attended talks, practica and tastings, during which they learned about the science behind aging cheeses, how to merchandise specialty cheeses and pairing cheese with food and beverages. For those who don’t make a living making or selling cheese, it was all about the eatin’. Luckily, there were a bunch of sessions on tasting cheese, with or without other stuff. Here’s a digestible sampling. “blIND TASTINg� Moderator Laura Werlin, author of The AllAmerican Cheese and Wine Book Presenter Scott A. Rankin, PhD, University of Wisconsin, Madison
Remember those people who told you never to play with your food? They’re not cut out to be cheese tasters. The process
involves sticking your nose as close to the surface of the cheese as possible, then breaking off small pieces and rolling them into balls between your fingers, in part to see how greasy they get. If you’re a real pro, you might also want to put a piece of expensive artisanal cheese in your mouth, roll it around on your tongue and spit it out. They call it “expectorating,� a less than appetizing term. Why the nasty-sounding rigmarole? Because to evaluate a cheese, you need to use all of your senses. Does it have the texture of a sponge or a pencil eraser? Can you see holes as big as the Grand Canyon? Does the acidity make your tongue tingle like the current from a nine-volt battery? And, once you’ve thought about all these things, do you like it? While blind tasting — trying foods without knowing exactly what they are — is most important to judges at events like this one, the principles behind it are useful to anyone who’s had to decide whether the sales-bin Brie is “ripe� or way over the hill. The seminar on blind tasting was intended to “ease the growing syndrome of ‘cheese anxiety.’� According to seminar presenter Scott Rankin, the key to picking the right product is to focus on why you’re tasting. Are you trying to find a local cheese that will please your Velveeta-loving cousin, or to impress a hot date with the sensitivity of your palate? Becoming a stellar cheese taster takes time, Rankin cautioned. For starters, he suggested chowing on cheese with more experienced folks. This will help you pick up important “standardized language� to better communicate your thoughts about cheese to others. The experts can also help you connect the flavors in cheese to its “inputs.� Does a cheese have meaty, barnyard

flavors? The animal was probably pastured. Next time you taste cheese from a grass-fed animal, you’ll be more likely to recognize it. Is it golden brown? The milk could have been cooked, which brings out caramel color, and sometimes sweeter flavor. What’s verboten? Assuming that just because a cheese is smelly, it’s good. Rankin has seen people at snobby tasting events applaud a smooshy mass that would be “ready to get up and run out the door if it wasn’t stuck to a cracker,� he jested. There
is such a thing as cheese that’s too old. Phew. Another attitude to avoid: the “I don’t know what’s good, but I know what I like� approach. Showing a slide of the famous painting of card-playing dogs, Rankin opined that there’s nothing wrong with hanging the painting in your living room, but “you gotta know who Monet was or that Picasso existed.

admitted, “with cheese, there’s a cow or sheep in between.” Jokes aside, the caramelized, malty or bitter flavors that are frequently present in beer also show up in many cheeses — but not in wine. Hence the complex interplay of beer and cheese can be transporting. D’Amico called the duo “a perfect couple that’s been together since the dawn of time.” Another reason to pair cheese with beer: the “scrubbing bubbles,” said Oliver. Since cheese coats your mouth when you eat it, drinking an effervescent beverage, such as beer, helps keep the palate clear and more
Whey to Go
On Friday evening, awards were given to the finest cheeses in all the land, as determined by 30 qualified judges. Of the 1208 cheeses entered in the contest by 200 producers, 310 were recognized with first-, secondor third-place ribbons. Forty-one, or nearly 15 percent, of these awards went to Vermont products. Eighteen Vermont producers went home with at least one ribbon.

“Of Grass and fermentatiOn: the marriaGe Of Cheese and Beer” Moderator Dennis D’Amico, Vermont Institute for Artisan Cheese, UVM Presenters Matt Jennings, ChefOwner of Farmstead and La Laiterie, Providence; Garrett Oliver, Brewmaster at The Brooklyn Brewery
Think the fruit of the vine is the perfect match for your favorite Brie or blue? Think again, according to brewer and beer pairing wizard Garrett Oliver, of New York’s Brooklyn Brewery. “I’m afraid it doesn’t quite work,” he explained. “Beer has certain affinities with cheese that wine doesn’t have.” Case in point: Every time Oliver has gone up against a sommelier in “Iron Chef ”-style matches, his beer has won. Every single time. Why? For one thing, both beer and cheese are made from grasses that are processed and fermented. “Granted,” Oliver

Chefs Compete for loCalvore Cred
Comparing maple-blueberry scones with a bacon tart might seem like the proverbial case of apples vs. oranges. But last Wednesday, judges at the Central Vermont Localvore kick-off celebration on the State House lawn had to do just that. Ten chefs submitted dishes made entirely with local ingredients in a bid to score one of four prizes. The big winners? The Black Door took home a prize for creativity. Its offering: a slice of rosy, rosemary-scented lamb with wheat-berry salad, a goat-cheese crisp and maple-cider syrup. The prize for “most Vermont character” went to Lisa Rubin of the Farmhouse Café. Her “farmers’ bounty Neapolitan” was a colorful stack of garden-fresh veggies with cheese and pesto. The folks at Norwich University’s branch of Sodexho snagged “most exotic use of local products.” Why? They grilled lettuce hearts to go with their sausagestuffed chicken and put Long Trail Blackberry Wheat beer in a cheesecake. The final prize, for “most delicious dish,” was awarded to Restaurant Phoebe. Chef Aaron Millon also served up chicken stuffed with sausage, but his came with a side of bacon-braised collards and a summer salad. Millon’s dish also won the “People’s Choice Award.”
Coffee In/Coffee Out Barre Business hits the grounds running
Elizabeth Manriquez has “bean” all over the place. The barista helped develop the coffee bar at Gesine’s in Montpelier, and she’s managed Capitol Grounds. As of two weeks ago, the coffee connoisseur has her own place in booming Barre. Manriquez owns Espresso Bueno with her partner, Patrick Clark. “We offer all of the standard coffee and espresso beverages, smoothies, Italian sodas and a pretty good tea selection,” says Clark. What’s different about Bueno? For one thing, their mochas are made with homemade ganache instead of chocolate syrup. Also unusual is the café’s approach to brewing. “We make the coffees using a bunch of different methods,” says Clark, so that patrons can “really appreciate the subtle differences . . . Different origins of beans and different roasts should be brewed at different temperatures.” How do you get
straight-up java junkies to buy in? Clark explains, “We’re trying to educate our customers on that, like Dobrá Tea did. People can come in and try several single origins.” Their single-origin coffees come from Vermont Artisan Coffee & Tea Co. Manriquez and Clark also carry pastries, freshly baked by a local friend who is “flirting with the idea of opening a pastry business,” says Clark. Can they survive Barre’s new gourmet glut? Clark thinks so: “We all offer something different, and diversity is a good thing. People like choices.” In other coffee news, Rooney’s 1820 Coffeehouse in Essex Junction has closed. Says Linda Rooney, “We’re putting the building up for sale and moving to Oklahoma.”
Crumbs You don’t need to enlist to see hot chicks in camoflage. On “Military Mondays,” the Hooters girls in South Burlington dress the part. What else makes it a Military Monday? Cheap beer. And if you’ve got a military ID, you’ll score a 15 percent discount. The discount’s good on Sundays, too, but the ladies wear their normal attire. The markdown has been in effect for the past three or four months, says Hooters Girl Ashley LaCroix, and “a lot of people are taking advantage of it.” That’s a surprise. Although Smokejacks has been closed since a recent fire damaged the kitchen, owner Leslie Myers confirmed that the Burlington institution will be slinging cheese plates and homemade sodas again soon. “We’re hoping to reopen in a couple of weeks,” Myers says. Will there be changes? “We pretty much want to keep our concept here, but take our downtime and make it work to our advantage.” The cause of the blaze has yet to be determined. Kitchen staffer and NECI grad Josh Robinette has assumed the role of head chef. “He’s really been in charge of the kitchen more or less since Frank [Pace] left,” explains Myers. Now he’s got the title, too. The old Eat Good Food space in Middlebury is empty, but it may not be for very long. Middlebury College is interested. No word yet on what biz the venerable institution might put there. The Addison Independent reported that a group of students spending summer on campus came up with a few suggestions, including an ice-cream shop and a culinary education program. Non-gastronomic ideas included a home for college-radio station WRMC and an entertainment venue. SUzANNE PODHAIzER

Pick up Oliver’s book, called The Brewmaster’s Table: Discovering the Real Pleasures of Real Beer with Real Food. D’Amico called it “the bible of pairing beer with food.” “PAIRING BEyOND BEVERAGES” Moderator Sara Vivenzio, Founder of The Cheese School of San Francisco Presenters Max McCalman, Master Fromager at Artisanal, New York; Louis Risoli, Maitre d’ and fromager at L’Espalier Restaurant, Boston; Ari Weinzweig, co-founder of Zingerman’s, Ann Arbor, Michigan
In-the-know eaters don’t have to restrict their cheese pairings to booze. In “Pairing Beyond Beverages,” the panel gave suggestions for matching cheeses with other foods. Wonder Bread and a can of Campbell’s tomato soup didn’t make the cut. What did?
Artisan breads, flavored nuts, meats, honey and fruit. Audience members got to try four cheeses with a slew of different accompaniments to figure out for themselves what types of pairings work. A few standouts: buckwheat honey with blue cheese, salami with raw sheep’s milk cheese and grapes with a young goat cheese. One of the panelists confessed that, as a purist, he didn’t usually try cheeses with food. A few audience members agreed, but most folks in the room were enthusiastic about the idea. Weinzweig, one of the founders of Zingerman’s, gave a few compelling reasons for pairings: 1) To create a whole new eating experience; 2) To enable restaurants to differentiate themselves in the industry with signature pairings; 3) To help retail operations sell more stuff. “I don’t have an MBA,” he deadpanned, “but generally, if you sell two things instead of one, sales go up.”
[click on 7D blogs]
One thing everybody agreed on: You’ve just gotta try stuff to see how it works. According to McCalman, you’re looking for “that special moment, an explosion. The chemical reaction that makes a new, wonderful taste.” When pairing, added Risoli, “There’s no right answer and no wrong answer.” He quickly qualified, “Well, that’s not really true.” But he did offer that quince paste tastes good with almost anything. A second tenet: The cheese should come first. Select excellent cheeses, then look for tasty tidbits to match. Once the tasting was over, folks all over the room popped up to recommend their favorite flavor combos. One touted such exotica as mushroom paste, cultured Moroccan olives and garam masala, an Indian spice blend. Others recommended wine jelly, olives, dates, grilled fruits or smoked fish. Rest assured there are thousands more combos out there waiting to be discovered. >

Talking maple syrup with a Southwest grow-it guru by SUZANNE PODHAIZER
G
ary Paul Nabhan has hunted wild peccaries, pit-roasted cactus flowers, and won a MacArthur “genius” fellowship. This past weekend, he was the keynote speaker at the 12th Annual Vermont Fresh Network Forum. The theme of the gathering was “Eat It to Save It” and focused on bringing back indigenous foods, such as heirloom veggies and heritage animal breeds that are becoming extinct. Ever heard of the gilliflower turnip? Exactly. Nabhan’s well qualified to tell us what we’re missing when we eat processed foods: He helped found a project called RAFT: Renewing America’s Food Traditions. Nabhan holds a PhD in Arid Land Resource Sciences from the University of Arizona and directs the Center for Sustainable Environments at Northern Arizona University. His numerous books include the memoir Coming Home to Eat: The Pleasures and Politics of Local Foods, about a year of ultra-local eating, and Some Like It Hot: Foods, Genes and Cultural Diversity. Seven Days caught up with Nabhan a few days before the Forum. SEvEN DAyS: your book, Coming Home to Eat, introduced me to the idea of eating locally. Were you the first one to write about it? GARy NAbHAN: I had not seen other people focus on a local diet before, although it was the farmers and restaurateurs here associated with the Vermont Fresh Network who inspired me to think about it. Now there are three books — The Omnivore’s Dilemma by Michael Pollan; Animal, Vegetable, Miracle by barbara Kingsolver and Steve Hopp; and another book called Plenty by Alisa Smith and J.b. MacKinnon — that are all doing variations of this with different diets and perspectives, because each region is different. So there’s no real redundancy. There’s fresh insights and distinctive flavors in each place we attempt this. SD: you decided to limit yourself to foodstuffs within 250 miles of your home. How did come up with that number? GN: For me, there’s no magic formula like 100 miles. Twohundred-and-fifty miles was arbitrary in the sense that I wanted to write for a national audience about sea foods as
GARy PAUL NAbHAN
well as land-based foods. And it would be like choosing your circumference here so you could capture quahogs and other clams. The point was, I wanted to be able to walk across the region and meet the whole range of farmers, fisherman and orchardists that provided my food. The part that I didn’t garden, hunt and forage for myself. SD: you went cold-turkey. Was that tough? GN: I had heard from many people in our desert region that they did not think it was possible to live on the foods of the desert. It would be like people here in Vermont saying, “It’s too cold here, and you can’t really supply fresh food for yourself year-round ’cause the winters are so harsh.” I sort of wanted not to prove them wrong, but to show that there were possibilities we couldn’t imagine unless we tried something. SD: Did you learn anything that surprised you? GN: I actually found that I had more time in my life if I was gardening or quail hunting or foraging, rather than driving 45 minutes in a car two ways each day and standing in line in the grocery store for another 20 minutes. In part it was a choice to do something that looked apparently extreme, but actually
offered me a lot of moderation in my life at the same time. SD: There’s a huge localvore movement here in vermont. Do you see it catching on in other places? GN: The astonishing thing is that people are working on it from Sitka, Alaska . . . to Nashville, Tennessee. What I find most fascinating is that people are inspired by one another, yet they have to find a completely different organizing principle in their community to make it work . . . The other thing I think is very interesting about this is that now a lot of us are saying that some things can only be grown well in some localities. Like wild rice. It’s really too bad that people are trying to grow it in California, because it doesn’t taste the same and it isn’t helping indigenous communities. It’s actually being grown with a lot of fertilizers there, but it’s a natural product in Minnesota. SD: So in some cases it may actually be more ecofriendly to truck a product in from somewhere else rather than trying to grow it locally? GN: My emphasis has shifted more to seeing how the placebased foods of any region can be protected there, and we can establish fair-trade networks

between people in different regions for these unique products. I’m going to bring back from here maple syrup that I got from a farmer, but give back to that farmer some tepary beans or saguaro cactus. This seems like one model to appreciate the special foods of each region that we can’t grow in our own place. But collectively, that may only be three percent of our own diet. SD: It seems that folks sometimes hesitate to “become localvores” or “go organic” because they hear about them as purist movements: They think it’s gotta be all or nothing. GN: I don’t think we win anything by proselytizing about this . . . I gain great pleasure in the foods that I can access from closer to home because I hear people’s stories about them; they taste fresher; they have more fragrance and texture. So people should take tiny steps towards just incorporating more local foods into their diet. And if the local apples end up delighting them more than a Golden Delicious apple transported halfway across the continent, I think that will win them over more than beating them over the
cialty products. It sounds like we need to be better about this in the U.S. GN: I think Vermont is, to some extent, doing this with maple syrup. But there’s different flavors of maple syrup from trees in different soils that need to be embraced, just as much as the general concept that maple syrup is a Vermont project. SD: But how do you get people to care about whether the maple syrup is from soil filled with shale or schist? GN: I think the answer to that is right before our eyes. People used to say that about beer, too, and now there are a couple thousand microbrews thriving. Variety is the spice of life. It’s not a big leap to say that, if Vermont folks have accepted another 150 flavors of beers and ales over the last decade, they can celebrate at least three flavors of maple syrup. SD: Right, and folks do look for particular kinds of heirloom tomatoes, like Brandywines. But no one would think to seek out a different variety of spinach, right now. GN: In part because we have to build up a vocabulary about it.
isn’t a Democrat or Republican kind of thing. If our real patriotism is our allegiance to this land and what’s unique in it, and the cultural expression of that, we really think this holiday can capture everyone’s imagination in this country, and sort of remind us how lucky we are to live in a place blessed by so many different foods . . . We’re having the first pilot project at Shelburne Farms this Sunday. SD: Speaking of Democrats and Republicans, how do you respond to criticisms that food movements of this type are elitist? GN: In our region, where we have some of the poorest counties in all of North America, Navajo sheep herders have decided to have their own Slow Food convivium, and it costs $5 a meal for most of their events, and elderly people get in free. I think that the people who say the Slow Food movement is elite haven’t really looked and seen all the variations on it that have already been worked out in low-income communities, which probably have the most to benefit from this in terms of nutrition and celebration.

head about the number of food miles that apple has traveled. The flavors trump some of the philosophical issues. SD: Can you tell me a little about RAFT? GN: I realized five years ago that there had never been a comprehensive inventory of foods unique to this continent . . . We don’t know what placebased foods from this region or any other region are really at risk of going extinct, just like whales or orchids. The idea was, What if we joined forces with five or six of the most creative nonprofits in the country and built a network, not only to inventory these foods but to bring them back to the table? . . . We’ve developed something called eater-based conservation. We’re basically voting for the recovery of these foods by our food choices. SD: In Europe, they’re really good about protecting spe-
The wine junkies of the world have a very complex vocabulary for describing those differences . . . I think we need to make sure that the state agriculture people embrace that kind of distinction rather than glossing it over. SD: So, aside from cataloguing plant species and encouraging farmers to grow heirloom varieties and chefs to cook with them, what is RAFT doing? GN: A new holiday called The Great American Picnic; food writer Deborah Madison came up with the idea. Just like we’ve commoditized foods, we have commodified holidays now, where most people in the country have Butterball turkeys and pre-packaged cranberry bread. Why don’t we imagine a new holiday for America where we link place to taste? . . . The idea is to celebrate the foods of the region in that place . . . We’ll actually do it like a potluck . . . This is one of those things that
SD: One final question. It seems to be getting more and more complicated to make good food choices. When you’re choosing what to eat at any given time, what’s your decision-making hierarchy? GN: I am keenly interested in what’s available that’s unique to the place I’m living or special to that particular season. The seasonality, I think, is very, very important. If I just see grape leaves of Jerusalem artichokes available for only two weeks per year in my farmers’ market, that’s what I go for. Because the monotony of processed foods bores me. And rather than seeking out the exotic, having truffles flown in from around the world, I really try to seek what’s special in my own backyard, and then mix that with ingredients that complement that, some of which are local and some of which are not. >

Remember when Seattle was cool? In the grand scheme of things, it wasn’t so long ago that the birthplace of Starbucks was the epicenter of all things musically hip. As most trends do, grunge has since faded like so much torn denim and flannel. But in its wake, a new breed of talent has begun to emerge in the Pacific Northwest, led by — who else? — indie magnate Sub Pop Records. Along with label mates Iron & Wine, The Shins and Low, Seattle’s
Band of

WHAT THE FOLK?
I’m exhausted. Unless you are completely oblivious to what we print on the cover, you might have noticed that I spent last Saturday at the Dunkin’ Donuts Newport Folk Festival, covering a certain leggy Vermont siren and her band of merry men. In a span of less than 36 hours, I drove 580 miles, spent the day at one of the country’s premier music events, consumed at least three gallons of coffee, and endured one of the worst sunburns of my life. Oh, yeah, I also managed to find time to interview the band over shots of Woodford’s Reserve and bottles of warm Corona. Sinecure, my ass. It was a surreal experience. The stage that once saw what was perhaps Bob Dylan’s defining moment has been completely railroaded by Turbo Iced commercialism. But should I really have been surprised/repulsed that even the parking lots bore caffeinated monikers? FYI: I parked in the “Coolatta” lot. In truth, probably not. However, I was surprised at the utter lack of folk music, particularly on the main stage. The side stages — especially on Sunday — had decent folk-ish acts, and the singer-songwriter-focused Gibson tent was a nice touch. Even if it was essentially a live-action Gibson ad. But, I’m sorry, North Mississippi Allstars are not folk. Neither are Dirty Dozen Brass Band. The John Butler Trio? Self-importantly heady, but still not folk. Don’t get me wrong. I’m all about genre cross-pollination, and it was fun to see Grace Potter and the Nocturnals — who, once upon a time, opened for my old band, The Middle Eight, at Club Metronome — play for several thousand enthusiastic fans. It was also pretty cool to see The Allman Brothers — and even cooler to see their songs translated into sign laguage by a dancing interpreter in the VIP section. But I left with an overwhelming feeling that, within the next couple of years, the once venerable celebration of American folk music and crafts will be little more than your average summer jam festival. Maybe it already is. But then, what’s more American than corporate takeover of beloved national institutions? Oh, shit, the game’s on! I need a Budweiser.
KNOWS PICKIN’ While the folks in Newport may have strayed from their roots, those in Alburgh certainly have not. This Friday marks the opening night of the Lake Champlain Bluegrass Festival and promises more banjos and mandolins than you can shake a . . . um, pick at. Sorry. Like I said, I’m exhausted.

SHINY HAPPY PEOPLE
ONE FOR THE ROAD
If all that sunny bluegrass and folk music leaves you wanting to break stuff and scream, Higher Ground might have just the thing. This Tuesday, the Showcase Lounge plays host to the Hardcore & Metal Showcase 3 and features some of the region’s finest angry young musicians rockin’ — angrily — for a really good cause: Make It Happen/Boys & Girls Club of America. One of the things I love about hardcore is that you know what you’re getting just by reading the marquee. With names like Blinded by Rage, Burn Me Down and Within the Ruins, it’s a safe bet there’ll be a mosh pit or two, a few bleeding eardrums and a sea of flailing, tattooed DOYLE LAWSON arms. Good times. In addition to the aforementioned trio of terror, This City Is Burning Records screamo outfit Armor for the Broken, Portland, Maine’s Absence of the Sun, local metal-heads aVicious Cycle, Pillar of Autumn and The Smittens all come with axes to grind.

FRIDAY 8/10
This show deserves more than the 100 or so words I’m about to give it, and for that I apologize. Singer-songwriter Tom Kimmel is the kind of artist that you’ve heard many times but never realized it. After releasing a few pop records in the ’80s with Chrysalis, he went on to pen tunes for the likes of Joe Cocker, Linda Ronstadt, Emmylou Harris, Shawn Colvin, Dolly Parton and Johnny Cash. And he’s playing in Vermont. This Monday at Higher Gr . . . what? Sorry. This Monday at Nect . . . you’re kidding. This Monday at The Lincoln Inn — yes, that Lincoln Inn — Kimmel is performing with Red Hot Juba guitarist D. Davis. I don’t mean to take shots at Essex’s top venue, especially as they’ve seriously amped up their live-music booking in the last year or so. But to land an artist of Kimmel’s talent and renown is a major coup. Good work. Kimmel follows up with an intimate show at Winooski’s Blue Star Café this Tuesday.

reviewthis REDHEADED STEPCHILD, SOME SUNNY DAY
THE KAMIKAZE HEARTS, ONEIDA ROAD
(Self-released, CD)
(Collar City Records, CD)
“Americana” is a lazy man’s label. Like “alternative,” “jam” or the ultimate catchall, “indie,” such designations are usually woeful misrepresentations. Country, alt-country, bluegrass, newgrass, folk and almost any other style of American music played with acoustic instruments tends to get lumped in the category, rendering the term utterly useless for those trying to discern a band’s true sound. Really, blanket classifications serve but one purpose: to make the lives of music critics and recordstore employees easier. Why spend time thinking up a clever descriptor for an up-and-coming indie-pop-funk-jazz-zydeco-fusion-waltz-metal band when I can just file under “rock?” Hmmm . . . That’s actually a really good question. If I think of an answer, I’ll let you know. In the meantime, let’s discuss The Kamikaze Hearts’ latest record, Oneida Road. Hailing from the bustling metropolis of Albany, New York, this “Americana” quintet trades in what they call “upstate porch rock.” Honestly, that’s about as apt a description as you’ll find in these pages or elsewhere. Blending exquisite four-part harmonies over a bed of mandolin, dobro, banjo and guitar, The Kamikaze Hearts have drawn critical acclaim across the country for their unique brand of intelligent, endearingly quirky folk-rock — there we go again — as well as favorable comparisons to The Mountain Goats and The Gourds. Rightly so; fans of either band would do well to tune in. Oneida Road finds the band veering into poppier terrain than on previous efforts, such as 2002’s Seven More Wonders of the World. The band’s often stunning ability to unabashedly blend pop elements into their rootsy sound speaks to their overall versatility and inventiveness as songwriters. The album’s opener, “Top of Your Head” begins as a lilting ballad that crescendos into a driving rocker complete with distorted acoustic guitar, chorused vocals and pounding drums. The song’s schizophrenic changes provide a serviceable metaphor for the album itself, which shifts gears like a trucker on I-87. The next track, “Defender” is an intensely brooding ballad. The following number, “You Can’t Up and Leave” is a jaunty pop tune that wouldn’t seem out of place on an old Emmet Swimming album. The remainder of the disc twists and turns in similar fashion, with lyricists Troy Pohl and Gaven Richard trading lead vocal duties. Both singers have unique deliveries that can be jarring upon first listen. But much like The Decemberists’ Colin Meloy or Eef Barzelay — whose band Clem Snide is also often erroneously tabbed as Americana — their vocals eventually become a defining asset to the music, no matter what you call it. The Kamikaze Hearts play this Saturday at the Kriya Studio with local — ahem — Americana sourpusses Farm.
I’ve always found the hobo lifestyle to be romantically appealing. Often — especially when I’m stressed out with the day-to-day hassles of modern living — I have half a mind to stuff my earthly belongings into a handkerchief on a stick and spend my days riding the rails, playing a beat-up harmonica. Fortunately, I have half a mind to do a lot of things that never materialize, so the likelihood of finding me crossing the country in a boxcar is pretty much nil. However, I can usually achieve a similar level of Zen-like tranquility through music, and Some Sunny Day by Buffalo’s acoustic-blues duo Redheaded Stepchild is the next best thing to shedding your possessions and becoming a transient vagrant. And I mean that in the best way possible. Centered around Kathryn Koch’s exceptionally expressive vocal performances, Redheaded Stepchild deliver rootsy original blues that often effortlessly channel the early masters like Blind Blake and Son House. The band also manages to maintain a contemporary feel that should appeal to purists and casual fans alike. The opening tune, “Suwannee River Blues,” is a rollicking number with an intensity bordering on punk-rock. Koch is an engaging presence — even on record — and can moan and wail with the best of ’em, making the quieter moments on the album all the more disarming. Especially the title track, which bobs and weaves with a classic r&b feel. The interplay here between the dynamic singer and guitarist/songwriter David Nanni is particularly enjoyable. However, the disc is not without its flaws. The songwriting is generally pretty basic and occasionally derivative. But the sheer force of Koch’s performances is often enough to transcend lyrical mediocrity. Except for one song. “Andi’s Blues” is by far the album’s biggest dud and, not coincidentally, veers the furthest away from blues into bland, faceless pop. Laden with overwrought clichés and clumsy rhythmic patterns, even Koch’s considerable pipes are not enough to save the tune from its artless design — this is one song that should have been left at the station. It’s unfortunate, because the rest of the collection brims with vitality and vigor. Aspiring hobos such as myself should grab their mouth-harps and hop a train to Bradford this Friday to catch Redheaded Stepchild live at the Middle Earth Music Hall. DAN BOLLES

The (Show) Times, They Are A-nnoying LIVE REVIEW: Shout Out Out Out Out, Panda Watch, DJK @ Higher Ground Showcase Lounge, August 1. BY DAN BOLLES
T
his is why I never show up to a concert at the published start time. In the history of rock music, maybe four concerts have begun when they were supposed to. One of those was only because The Grateful Dead didn’t realize that Daylight Savings Time had gone into effect and thought they were actually an hour late. OK, I made that last bit up, but the point is that rock and punctuality don’t mix. Never have, never will. To that end, music writers — many of whom are recovering musicians — are also, as a rule, notoriously tardy. I don’t make the rules, folks, I just live by ’em. In an effort to put my best foot forward, I made an attempt to be as punctual as possible last Wednesday to attend the Fantastic $4 Band Night at the Higher Ground Showcase Lounge. Like Clark Kent changing in a phone booth, I scarfed down dinner, ran through the shower, dressed myself to the nines — well, the sevens or eights, anyway — and drove like a drunken Masshole to make it to the club by 9 o’clock. Tires screeching as I wildly aimed my trusty Saab at the narrow stretch of blacktop between Dunkin’ Donuts and Quiznos — the latter of which seem to be popping up in Burlington like herpes — I guided my aging whip into the Higher Ground parking lot, finally coming to rest straddling
two spots. Readjusting my vehicle, I glanced at the time: 8:59. I did it. Sadly, my efforts would prove to go unrewarded as the club was virtually deserted, save for two bartenders, a few security guards, an enthusiastic sound engineer and three dudes sitting wallflower-style along the side of the room. More on these guys later. The show had started roughly on time, but you wouldn’t really know it. DJK was expertly spinning an eclectic blend of psychedelic downtempo and house music, but was relegated to an awkward spot beside the stage, out of view of the “crowd.” If not for the fact that DJK’s performance was far superior to what normally graces the speakers at area nightclubs in between sets, it would have been difficult to tell that anyone was actually performing. It’s too bad, because he was in fine form.
As the stage lights dimmed, the anticipation in the room was palpable — at least among the eight or so people comprising the audience DAN BOLLES Eventually, a few people began to straggle into the room as local electronica quartet Panda Watch took the stage while DJK’s final cut faded away.

couch coaching Anyone who’s come away from a counseling session feeling confused will appreciate Christopher Durang’s Beyond Therapy, which declares open season on psychiatrists. The crazy adult farce follows two maladjusted thirtysomething Manhattanites as they grope their way toward romance. Prudence meets bisexual Bruce through a personal ad; after initially hating each other, they hit it off, only to run into problems with Bruce’s jealous (and male) live-in lover. To resolve their differences, they rely on their respective therapists, each of whom has more issues than a newsstand: Prudence’s macho, snooping shrink once seduced her, while Bruce’s dotty advisor uses a stuffed toy to communicate with her patients. The Waterbury Festival Players provide plenty of chances for chuckles through August 25 — and, unlike therapy, their tickets come with money-back guarantees. ‘Beyond Therapy’

scene@ ’THE DIVINE REALITY COMEDY CIRCUS’ BREAD AnD PUPPET FARM, GLOVER, SUnDAY, AUGUST 5, 2:30 P.M.
PHoTo: megHan dewald
For some Vermont residents, traveling to see Bread and Puppet’s summertime show is a seasonal certainty, on par with creek swimming and berry picking. As I settled into my chosen shady spot near the top rim of the troupe’s huge, sunny amphitheater, I realized I’d skipped a few years, but they hardly seemed to matter. The grass was still growing, the Iraq War and George W. Bush’s presidency were still ongoing, and Peter Schumann and his puppeteers were still offering onlookers a political kick in the pants, via clever use of cardboard and papier-mâché. Two decrepit, festively decorated school buses formed the backdrop for an open-air circus ring delineated by a foot-tall semicircle of brightly painted cloth at the base of the hill. After roughly 150 folks had parked, meandered through sideshows, and spread blankets on the hillside, a band of motley, white-clad musicians began tapping on metal objects to create an eerie ringing. Stiltwalkers costumed as storks slowly walked out from behind the first bus, gradually flapping their wings while carrying bombs in their mouths. The Grand Forgiveness Society of Glover followed: One actor hit another over the head, saying, “Oh, pardon me,” then both sang a tongue-in-cheek pardon-fest lampooning the president’s commutation of Scooter Libby’s jail sentence. A cardboard-bulldozer training act substituted the heavy yellow machines for ferocious tigers in a parking-lot allegory about ongoing construction of a new Wal-Mart in nearby Derby Line. The short skits continued, some funny, some sad. Shamelessly hypocritical hucksters named “Mr. Everything Is Fine” and “Mr. Shut Up and Do What I Say” tried to sell the crowd a paradise machine, a stampede of wild buffaloes celebrated the memory of American wilderness, and the entire company of dancers donned fighter-jet headgear to dance and fall down in a memorial to fallen soldiers that was made more real by a hairraising shape-note hymn sung en masse. My two favorite acts hinged on musical jokes. In what may have been a protest against federal animal-ID laws, a group of faux chickens and sheep serenaded a herd of cardboard corporate types with a baa-and-cluck version of Carl Orff’s Carmina Burana. A separate number featured a spectacled gent with small bells sewn strategically onto his outfit, which rang out during the man’s very controlled song-and-dance. The tune? I’m not telling, but like the circus itself, it was both hopeful and fun. MEGHAN DEWALD

OUTSIDE THE SQUEEZEBOX World folk fans, take note: Musician Moira Smiley and her California-based band VOCO harness high-voltage harmonies. The all-girl group specializes in Eastern-European-inflected symphonies and hard-driving Americana that’s bolstered by banjo, cello, accordion and Smiley’s signature vocal arrangements. Not afraid to mix Bartok compositions with street singing, they’ve shared stages with musical acts ranging from Ladysmith Black Mambazo to Wilco and Rufus Wainwright. Soaked Oats, a local old-time folk trio formed by Social Band leaders and choral experts Amity Baker and Don Jamison, opens VOCO’s Vergennes show with nutritive noise. Green Mountain musical icon Michael Chorney, of jazz group viperHouse fame, follows with a solo set; then Smiley’s ensemble sounds off in a genre-bending world tour of rootsy tunes.

PEAK PERFORMANCE Thought you’d seen it all when ice climbing came to town? Think again: “Speed hiking,” a new alpine subsport that gets a leg up on regular mountain movement, measures actual miles covered and elevation gained. This Saturday, Vermont-based company Unither Nutriceuticals sponsors the state’s first speed hiking race to raise funds for the Pulmonary Hypertension Association. Pros test their athletic limits on a 16-mile course that reaches elevations over 3800 feet, covers three peaks and carries 25K in cash prizes. Amateur speed freaks can get their hearts pumping on a 4.5-mile recreational route, and small striders can lace up their boots for a half-hour kids’ hike. When tired trekkers trickle across the finish line, they’ll find a 3-hour party with sweet jams supplied by Burlington-based trio Lucy Vincent. Speed hiking Competition

Mistress
Maeve
Your Gracious Guide to Love & Lust! Dear Mistress Maeve, Is there a correlation between exercising and sex drive? I’ve been with my girlfriend for three years. When we met, she worked out all the time, and she had a big sex drive. Now she’s gained a few pounds, feels bad about herself and hardly ever works out. When she does get to the gym, our sex life picks up again.
I don’t really care about her weight. I just want her to feel good
about herself so we can get our sex life back. If working out really does affect sex drive, how can I encourage her to hit the gym without sounding like a jerk? Personal Trainer
It’s true — sweating at the gym often leads to sweating in the bedroom. Because exercise relieves stress, renews energy and promotes self-confidence, it makes us feel ready for a good rogering. Getting in shape also makes us more limber and flexible for those hard-to-perform positions. Some studies even suggest that the same brain chemicals responsible for “runner’s high” are capable of releasing hormones that fuel the sex drive. You’ve got the right idea — you shouldn’t care about her weight, but
you’re a good partner for caring about her sexual and emotional wellbeing. You’re also right to be cautious about encouraging your lady to exercise. For many people, women in particular, working out and weight issues are deeply personal.
Jack & Jill I am so blessed to have such wonderful, thoughtful, and beautiful friends. Both of you made my 30th birthday unforgettable. Thank you so much for everything that you did for me.

Dear PT,
i Spy...
If you’re looking to get a jerk, instead of being one — avoid putting
too much stress on her to hit the gym. Instead, lead by example and go on your own health mission. When she sees your renewed commitment to wellness, she just might jump on the bandwagon. Also, suggest some new activities that you can do together, like going out dancing or taking up tennis. In no time, she’ll be ready to return whatever you can serve up — on the court and in the bedroom.
You’ve been served,
MM

Brooke Howdy! My name is Brooke and I am a beautiful, charming, and charismatic 6year-old spayed female Blue Tick/Coon Hound mix. I am a sweet, middle-aged dog who loves food, attention, and exploring in the typical hound way - following my nose. I LOVE to fetch tennis balls — you may find me toting one around in my mouth. I’m looking for an active home with older kids who will give me love and exercise, and share the furniture with me. I also get along with other dogs. As a hound, I may always need to be on leash as I will get on a scent and GO. I pull hard on a leash, but have been doing well walking on my Easy Walk Harness. I also am prone to counter surfing and since I am tall, any food-type items will need to be put away until I can be trained not to go after food on counters. I am a bit shy meeting strangers and will usually bark at them, but warm up quickly. I also hound-bark when I can see you, but can't be with you. I am a nice dog looking for some action! Visit me at HSCC, 142 Kindness Court, South Burlington, Tuesday through Friday, from 1 to 6 pm, or Saturday from 10 am to 4 pm. 862-0135.
