One thing people are surprised to find out about me is... that I’m a hunter. the best part about winter is... watching kids build forts, snowmen and snowball fights. If I had a million dollars, I would... donate much of it to organizations that help people. before I was a realtor, one of my interesting jobs was... North Hero Town Clerk & Treasurer.

as a realtor, I think that it’s important to: actively listen, build relationships with clients and customers and make it easy for people to get in touch with me. For that reason, I choose to advertise only my cell number so that when people call, most of the time they get a live person (me) instead of an answering machine.

weeklypost The best of the Vermont blogosphere COMPILED BY CATHY RESMER

Blog: False 45th

HOT AIR Peter Freyne [“Inside Track,� January 10] understandably praises Bernie Sanders and Peter Shumlin for their work on global warming. He also favorably reports the excitement of a few Vermonters taking a private jet to Washington for Peter Welch’s swearing in, and describes the “Vermont�-ness of State Senator Phil Scott who races cars on “the finest dirt ovals in the Green Mountains.� Bernie’s procurement last year of $5 million dollars for the Vermont Association of Snow Travelers should be mentioned here, too. If we can allow private jets, car racing and snowmobiling to go on — and even praise and subsidize their indulgent pollution — then we certainly don’t seem to be at such a level of crisis that necessitates, for example, replacing our forested ridgelines with industrial wind-energy facilities of marginal worth. Could it be that Bernie and the Dems — not to mention certain commentators — are cynically playing this issue just as much as Douglas is? Eric Rosenbloom

http://false45th.blogspot.com

iCONCERTCAL Last night, I received an email from Michael K of The Parallel Campaign titled “Maybe the most useful iTunes plug-in ever.� You know what? He was right. The email was about a new plug-in software for your iTunes library called iConcertCal. Here’s how it works: After you download and install it, it goes through your iTunes library and creates a calendar of every upcoming concert in your area of the bands in your library. How cool is that? Plus, you can change the city and it’ll recreate the calendar based upon that city and the surrounding area. That’ll work well when I’m traveling for work. The only two downsides I’ve discovered so far is that it doesn’t work for shows outside the U.S. (i.e. no Montreal) and since it uses Pollstar’s database, it misses some opening bands. For example, it missed The Hero Cycle playing at Higher Ground on February 21 in support of Lymbyc System. However, those are small things in comparison to the upside. It’s well worth the few minutes it takes to download and install.

Pre-approval over the phone

In the story about branding Burlington [“Local Businesses Seek to Sum up the Queen City,� January 10], Moondyne Agency is introduced as a “Burlington-based marketing and design firm that tried — and failed — to get the contract.� I have made it clear on a number of occasions that Moondyne was not invited to participate in the bid process. In all fairness, this should be made clear for your readers. Moondyne Agency did not fail — they were not given the opportunity to try one way or the other. The question I posed was, what local businesses, if any, actually received the RFP? If this was a “competitive bid,� who competed? Tim Shea of the Lake Champlain Regional Chamber of Commerce would not divulge this information. In the future, if the Chamber should be involved in contracting and wants to give the impression of a fair, “competitive bid process,� it might consider inviting its own members to participate. I wonder — does the chamber patronize local chamber members’ businesses when other needs for goods and/or services arise? That the contract was awarded to a former Vermont resident is beside the point. The Lake Champlain Regional Chamber of Commerce has a simple mission:

• divorce • separation • child custody • child support • post-divorce disputes

page ads in newspapers, and the ads have just these words: “Green. Not Greenhouse.� There was a foreshadowing of this ad campaign when Entergy Corporation supported legislation to limit greenhouse gas emissions from coal-fired plants. They did not do this out of concern for the environment, but because they wanted to knock down their competition. Here is a company calling itself “green� when it stockpiles tons of the most poisonous substance known to man on the banks of the Connecticut River. This company has been cited for mistakes in shipping that caused emissions of as much as four times the amount of radiation permitted by NRC regulations. Radiation is emitted into the atmosphere during every step of the operation, from mining to generation. Entergy is a company that is satisfied with an inadequate security apparatus and a completely unworkable evacuation plan in the event of a disaster. Such a disaster or terrorist attack would dreadfully impact thousands of residents of Vermont, New Hampshire and Massachusetts. Even the routine emissions from the plants have already been cited by many as causing people in the area to have medical problems. So what does “green� mean? It certainly does not mean the most dangerous methods of electricity generation in the world. It should mean “safe, clean, reliable� — the words used to access Entergy’s website.

STICKY SEMANTICS In her article on mead [“Need Mead?� January 10], Suzanne Podhaizer states, “In fact, the word for ‘drunken’ in ancient Greek literally means ‘honey intoxicated.’� Using the standard dictionary for the ancient Greek language, edited by Liddell, Scott & Jones (LSJ) and

available online at the Perseus site run by Tufts University, I searched through 42 words that resulted from my asking how to translate the English word “drunken� into Greek, none of which had anything to do with honey. To make certain that I had covered all bases, I used the same source to find all words that have reference to “honey.� In 103 words called up when I placed the word “honey� on the search line, there was no correspondence to any word that literally meant “honey intoxicated.� I also searched for “honey intoxi-

cated� and “honey-intoxicated,� but both phrases came up with zero results. I suggest that Podhaizer’s source may have been using the word “intoxicated� in a metaphoric sense, rather than a literal meaning, rather more along the lines of Winnie the Pooh than of Bacchus. Undoubtedly her sourcebook on the history of honey was unreliable. Dan Wolfe WILLISTON

SURVEY SAYS In the December 20 issue on page 20A, a small ad appeared directing

readers to a web survey for Vermont legislative issues. Since I have something to say about everything, an ad soliciting my opinion caught my eye immediately. Upon closer examination I discovered there was no information regarding who ran the ad. Odder still, the survey site also neglected to identify the person or organization collecting the information. I was recently told the advertiser was the Campaign for Responsible Drinking, but I am unable to find any information about this organization. As important as it is to offer up our opinions to our legislators, it is equally important to discover who is collecting that information and how it might be reframed back to our representatives. Shame on Campaign for Responsible Drinking to not have the courtesy or courage to identify itself. If you responded to the anonymous survey, you may want to contact your legislators directly regarding the issues queried to be sure your true voice is heard. Monique Hayden WILLIAMSTOWN

BURNING QUESTION Why won’t those 9/11 conspiracy theories go away [“VT’s 9/11 Truth Movement Hits the Big Time . . . Sort of,� January 17]? I’m sure many Burlington residents will be asking themselves this very question on Town Meeting Day when asked to demand a new 9/11 investigation. Didn’t the 9/11 Commission debunk these crackpot theories once and for all? Well, not exactly. Since The New York Times and

families of 9/11 victims successfully won a lawsuit to force the release of NYFD radio and interview transcripts, a good deal of new evidence has hit the table. Granted, this has given conspiracy theorists more fuel for their fire, but it has also attracted the attention of some respected members of the scientific community. Dr. Steven Jones, a peer-respected physicist from Brigham Young University, has penned a 25-page response to the FEMA and NIST reports regarding the World Trade Center collapse. Among other things, Jones cites the mysterious molten metal pools found under the remains of the twin towers and WTC 7, a condition that could not have been caused by jet fuel, paper or any other flammable one would expect to find at these sites. The fires simply would not have been hot enough to produce molten metal. That’s science, not theory. The existence of molten metal is a red flag that could indicate the presence of an incendiary such as Thermite. Curiously, the official reports never addressed the pools of molten metal. It is all too easy to lump all of the popular 9/11 conspiracy theories into one lot — if you can find something wrong with one theory, then all of them must be bogus. If Jones and his peers are correct, it may well turn out that it took more than passenger jets to bring down the twin towers. Todd R. Lockwood

AN IRREVERENT READ ON VT POLITICS

Meet Vermont’s New Congressman

H

e was just sworn in as our new congressman on January 4, but Peter Welch has been a familiar face in the trenches and on the stages of Vermont politics since the early 1980s. Our current congressman is also a familiar face from the “ambulance-chaser” TV ads he ran in his nonpolitical 1990s — ads leading into the Ch.3 Six O’Clock local news that promoted his distinguished law firm. Obviously, they didn’t hurt. Like our reigning Republican Gov. Jim Douglas, Democrat Peter Welch was Massachusetts-born. Unlike Douglas, he’s a product of Catholic schools, and a 1969 graduate of Holy Cross. Gentleman Jim went to Middlebury. And unlike Jim, after college Peter went to law school at the University of California at Berkeley. Afterwards, he backpacked the length of the Pan American Highway to Santiago, Chile, arriving just as President Salvador Allende was being overthrown.

PHOTO: PETER FREYNE

CHANNEL 3’S ALEX MARTIN INTERVIEWS PETER WELCH MONDAY

After taking a freighter to Portugal, the young Welch returned to the States and settled in Vermont, where he began practicing law. In 1980 he ran for the Vermont State Senate from Windsor County and won the first of four consecutive terms. A rising star! But things went a wee bit sour. Peter took a step up the ladder in 1988, seeking the Democratic congressional nomination for the open U.S. House seat. He lost a close one to State Rep. Paul Poirier of Barre in the Democratic Primary. Poirier then went on to finish third in November (18.9 percent) to Independent Burlington Mayor Bernie Sanders (37.5 percent) and the winner, Republican Lt. Gov. Peter Smith (41.2 percent). Two years later, Welch, the delayed rising star, stepped up to run for the open governor’s seat. Democrat Madeleine Kunin was not seeking a fourth term on the Fifth Floor in Montpeculiar. As fate would have it, Democratic Lt. Gov. Howard Dean, MD, chose to stay right where he was in 1990 and did not challenge Welch in a Democratic Primary. But the former GOP bulldog Gov. Richard Snelling of Shelburne did

come out of retirement. And King Richard (51.8 percent) didn’t have too much trouble with Welch (46 percent). The rest is history. 52B Church Street, Burlington Now fast-forward to the present. HoAcross from Burlington Town Center Ho is a household name in America, and 802.864.4238 the former Vermont Lite-Gov who drove the little blue Japanese pickup truck to Mon-Fri 10-6 Sat 10-5 Closed Sun the Statehouse is now the successful Your Custom Design & Diamond Gallery www.vermontjeweler.com chairman of the Democratic National Committee. Peter Welch is currently Vermont’s representative in the U.S. House. Though a freshman, he already has a seat on the powerful House Rules Committee, plus another seat on the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. It’s fair to say, Peter has hit the ground running. Monday morning, Pedro officially opened his congressional office in Burlington. He’s actually moving into the spot at 30 Main Street previously occupied by Jeezum Jim’s people — the loyal troops of U.S. Sen. Jim Jeffords, the Republican who was first to draw the line on George W. Bush back on May 24, 2001, when he switched to Independent. Now, five years later, everyone knows Dubya’s the worst president in U.S. history, eh? In his remarks to the gathering, Rep. Welch promised his office will continue the longstanding tradition of “good community service” that’s been displayed for decades by the offices of Jeffords, Sen. Patrick Leahy and Rep.

BIG DREAMS.

<< 09A

Welch rattled off the list: raising the minimum wage, rolling back the $14 billion tax cut for Big Oil, promoting stem-cell research and new ethics legislation in the Age of Greed. And he noted an average 68 Republicans have voted with House Democrats on those bills. The former Vermont Statehouse denizen said that the senseless war in Iraq, will be a front-burner issue when he gets back to Washington. “I’ve got to tell you,� he told us, “it’s important that we do everything we can in Congress to get the president to change his mind. What I’m seeing is that more and more Republicans agree with the Iraq Study Commission that we need to change the direction.� So you’re sounding a hopeful note, Mr. Congressman? We’ve sensed a growing pessimistic view of tomorrow, fueled by things like global warming and endless wars. But you sense the tide turning? “Well, I sense some pessimism, as well, and understand it,� said Welch. “We’ve had 12 years of heading in the wrong direction. And what we tried to do with the 100 hours was just make a down payment. The purpose was twofold: one, to show that the institution can actually pass laws to make a difference to average people; and two, establish that we’ve got a direction that’s different than what preceded us.� By no means is the game over. As Vermont’s new congressman puts it, “We’re on probation, and it remains to be seen if we’ll be able to deliver in ways that are going to help middleincome working families. That’s our challenge, and we have to do our best to meet it.� Good luck. A whole lot of folks counting on you. Health-Care Reform? — Vermont’s new Catamount Health Plan, designed to provide coverage for some of Vermont’s uninsured, continues to sputter. After all the hope and promise Democrats waved in the air back in the 2004 election, we end up with Catamount? Though it hasn’t quite arrived just yet. Meanwhile this week, Vermont’s primary-care doctors released a statewide survey that indicates serious problems. The survey was conducted by former Human Services Sec. Cornelius Hogan, single-payer advocate Deb Richter, MD, and Terry Doran, MD. “Results were unequivocal. The level of dissatisfaction is disturbingly high. This widespread dissatisfaction is an aspect of Vermont’s health-care system that has not been given adequate attention. In fact, it has been all but neglected.� Ouch! They’re drowning in paperwork and bugged and bothered by “outside managers.� Wrote one Vermont doc: “I

have seen a rapid escalation in the paperwork in the past year. When I first started practicing in Vermont seven years ago, conditions were much more tolerable. I am seriously considering retiring after I get my children’s education.� — Family Doctor, 18 years. Up a Notch — Vermont Democratic Party consultant Bill Lofy has expanded his Statehouse winter turf. The former aide to the late, great Minnesota U.S. Sen. Paul Wellstone has been working as an advisor to House Speaker Gaye Symington’s “Speaker’s Circle,� her political action committee. “Inside Track� has learned he’s also added a second Statehouse client this winter — Senate President Pro Tem Peter Shumlin (D-Windham). Lofy said Shummy has set up a PAC called something like the “President Pro Tem’s Circle.� What it is that Ol’ Bill actually does? He describes his role as “providing strategic advice� and “helping with the conversation.� Lofy says he’ll also provide advice to “individual legislators who have complex issues.� He declined to say how much he’s being paid. Have to wait until he files financial disclosure with the Secretary of State’s office. Fat Bikes? — She’s “48, pushing 49,� lives in Fairfax and, she told us Monday, “I’ve been fat all my life.� And one day last year, Joan Denizot had a brainstorm. “I decided I’m gonna find a bike!� Most bikes, she learned quickly, don’t say how much they can carry. Few, if any, were built for people who weigh more than 200 pounds. “I’m not the only fat person who wants to ride a bike,� she said. So, her entrepreneurial spirit got the best of her and she decided to create and sell bicycles for fat people. After all, there is a market. The U.S. population is 65 percent obese or overweight. Currently, Ms. Denizot is having bikes produced by three different companies, and her models include an “electricassist� model. Check them all out at Super Sized Cycles (www.supersized cycles.com): “Bikes for Big Riders.� Media Notes — Vermont’s new U.S. senator has had a couple national splashes lately. A week ago he was a featured speaker at the National Conference on Media Reform in Memphis, Tennessee. As seen online, Ben Scott, policy director at a mediareform organization called Free Press, introduced the former mayor of Burlington, Vermont, as “a brilliant political tacti-

cian.â€? He told the crowd in the hall and online, that “back in his home state of Vermont, GMAC Mortgage Corporation offers a variety of solutions to Bernie is a cross between a rock help you get the home you want and still have cash left over for star and a folk hero.â€? Thanks, other things that are important in life — even if home prices in part, to his leadership,â€? said and interest rates are on the rise. Scott, “media has become a CALL TODAY! political issue that no one can ignore.â€? Sanders followed with barrels blazing. The energy that man has continues to wear out the staffers, and his focus is crystal-clear. “Four years ago,â€? said the senator from Vermont, “George Rod Alexander Louise Kowalewitz Brenda Bushey W.

Sanders said so many Americans got so disgusted, they turned to the BBC and the Solid Hardwood Furniture Canadian Broadcasting

Sanders, “the American media failed, and failed grotesquely, in exposing the dishonest and misleading assertions of the Bush Administration in the lead-up.

BRISTOL — Holley Hall was all aclatter last Saturday as 50 women and one man worked at sewing machines to turn donated Tshirts and fabric into simple dresses for orphans half a world away. The Vermont chapter of Mothers Without Borders sponsored the 12-hour sew-a-thon, during which 1003 dresses were stitched, hemmed and gathered for children in Zambia. The worldwide orphans-aid organization is building a Children’s Village in the southeast African nation, where hundreds of thousands of families have been rav-

in age. Several high school students sat sewing alongside women in their sixties and seventies. “Helping little kids in Africa is a really big deal for me,” said Sadie Messenger, a 16-year-old junior at Vergennes Union High School. “I know if I were in their boots, I couldn’t do it by myself.” Sewing skills varied considerably as well. While some volunteers struggled to complete two or three dresses in a couple of hours, Christine McGovern of Bristol, who used to make clothing for a living, assembled a

aged by the AIDS epidemic. Mothers Without Borders, based in Utah, ships several thousand dresses to Zambia each year, said Nancy Luke, the group’s Vermont coordinator. “But there’s a need for tens of thousands,” she added. “There’s that many kids on the streets in rags and with no food.” Boys also wear the donated dresses. “They don’t have anything else,” Luke said, noting that Mothers Without Borders plans to start sending shorts to Zambia next year. The seamstresses and another 30 volunteers tending to piles of multicolored cloth ranged widely

dozen. “This is pretty easy to do,” she declared. “It’s like making curtains.” Justin Bouvier, 25, shuttled rectangles of fabric through his machine quickly and surely. “My great-grandmother taught me to sew when I was 8,” he explained. “She said her grandkids weren’t going to be taken care of by women.” Bouvier didn’t feel odd being the only male making dresses in the 125-year-old meeting hall. “I take the title to mean ‘mothering without borders,’” he suggested. “Guys can be mothering, too.” The national group does welcome participation by men, said

Mike Headlee, an organizer of the Children’s Village project. Headlee, whose sister Kathy established Mothers Without Borders 10 years ago, spoke at a meeting in Bristol the night before the sew-fest. He said he’d left his job as an investment advisor in Upstate New York because “there comes a time in everybody’s life when ‘more and bigger’ just isn’t important.” The Children’s Village will be built on a farm near Zambia’s capital city, Lusaka. About 250 orphans will eventually be housed there in family-style living units, Headlee explained. The compound will include a school, health clinic and vocational center. Most of the children have lost one or both parents to AIDS. About 16 percent of adults in Zambia are HIV-positive, and life expectancy in the country now stands at 40 years. Luke, who launched the Vermont chapter of Mothers Without Borders last Mother’s Day, said she wanted to get involved in service work on a global level after years of volunteering on local projects. About 12 Vermonters are regularly active in the group, she said. But the turnout at Holley Hall showed that scores more are willing to work on projects such as the Zambia Children’s Village. “This is pretty inspiring,” McGovern said as she surveyed the crowded community hall. “Things like this don’t happen every week in Bristol.” �

RIGHT TO LIFE

King’s Niece to Speak Against Abortion at the Statehouse

New Sunday Hours: 6am - Noon

BY KEVIN J. KELLEY

MONTPELIER — The Vermont Right to Life Committee has booked a bold-face name for its 34th-annual protest against the Supreme Court decision legalizing abortion in the United States. Alveda King, niece of the assassinated civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr., is scheduled to speak on Saturday from the well of the Vermont House in Montpelier. Organizers expect the participation of a King family member on the eve of Black History Month to attract up to 350 demonstrators. That’s about 100 more than typically turn out to “mourn” the anniversary of the Roe v. Wade ruling. King says she will tell Vermonters that a pro-choice stance contravenes her uncle’s legacy. “Dr.

Martin Luther King was dedicated to nonviolence, and abortion is not nonviolent,” the former Georgia state legislator declares. “If you really want to honor Dr. King, then you should stop letting abortionists rip apart babies.” Alveda King casts her militant anti-abortion campaign as an extension of Martin Luther King Jr.’s commitment to social justice. She claims King himself, shot dead in 1968, would have opposed the 1973 decision ending state bans on abortion. The 55-year-old activist cites as evidence an undated passage in a book of King’s collected speeches, in which he is quoted as saying, “The Negro cannot win if he is willing to sacrifice the lives of his children for personal comfort and safety.”

In 1966, however, Martin Luther King Jr. received an award from the Planned Parenthood Federation of America. The organization describes the annual award as one given “in recognition of excellence and leadership in furthering reproductive health and reproductive rights.” In his acceptance speech, King said he saw “a striking kinship between our movement” and the pro-birthcontrol campaign led by Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger. “Negroes have no mere academic nor ordinary interest in family planning. They have a special and urgent concern,” King declared on that occasion.

Halliburton subsidiary KBR raked in record profits on its support services for U.S. troops in Iraq. Meanwhile, Iraq war veteran Drew Cameron said, he was sent into battle without body armor and had to buy his own soap. Cameron, who’s now a student at the University of Vermont, was one of three Iraq war veterans who spoke last Saturday at a rally in Montpelier to protest President Bush’s proposed increase in U.S. troop levels. Carrying signs that read “Less oil, more courage,” “Farmers for Peace” and “I’m already against the next war,” about 300 antiwar protesters braved harsh winds and bitter temperatures for the rally at the Vermont Statehouse. Among those in attendance was Jude Elford of the Hardwick Peace Coalition. Her protest sign outlined the various costs of the war — now estimated at $8.4 billion per month — and other ways in which that money could have been spent, including stopping the spread of AIDS in Africa, educating children and eradicating starvation worldwide. In case anyone had doubts about the human costs of the war, demonstrators left pairs of black combat boots on the capitol steps as a reminder of all the Vermonters who have been killed so far.

A New Weekly Puts Waterbury on the Record

COME FIND YOUR BARGAIN AT OUR

Winter Clearance

SALE

BY PAULA ROUTLY

WATERBURY — Community newspapers aren’t just about high school sports scores and ice-cream socials. David Goodman, brother of radio-host activist Amy, will have a column in the new Waterbury Record, which hits the streets January 25. Liz Schlegel of Spike Advertising also plans to have a biweekly business column in the free, 4000-circulation weekly. Both are residents of the town the new paper’s spokesperson calls “the place to be right now in central Vermont.” For years the weekly Stowe Reporter has covered news and events in its namesake town while its second paper, The Valley Reporter, took on Waitsfield, Warren and points south. Waterbury was being underserved, according to Maria Archangelo, the Record’s new editor and publisher. Stowe Reporter Publisher Biddle Duke finally decided to spin off a separate

newspaper that, while still owned by Stowe, would be devoted exclusively to the “crossroads of Vermont” — Waterbury’s reclaimed downtown designation. Starting Thursday, when the Record hits the streets, the burg will have its own distinct voice. That said, Volume 1 Number 1 is not exactly a first edition. In 1895, the town had a paper of the same name managed, edited — and later owned — by Harry Whitehill. The Waterbury Record spawned the Stowe Journal, and the two papers coexisted until 1947. They closed together, and then, 10 years later, “somebody started the Stowe Reporter,” says Archangelo. “It’s funny because Waterbury started Stowe, and now Stowe is starting Waterbury.” What’s more intriguing is that Duke hired Archangelo, who used to edit the Barre-Montpelier

13A << KING’S NIECE TO SPEAK

His niece says Planned Parenthood bestowed the award as part of an effort to co-opt African-American leaders into backing abortion rights. And those leaders were wrong, Alveda King claims, to align themselves with an organization that sought to “ethnically cleanse the world of black people.” Planned

Times Argus, to launch a traditional media property in the digital era. The Record will be mailed to 3200 homes in Waterbury, population 5000. Additional copies will be available around town. The approach sounds old-fashioned, but it’s pretty savvy, too. Archangelo points out that print journalism is actually thriving in niche and local markets. “You can get a lot of national and international news from other places, but nobody else is going to be writing about the chicken pie supper or what’s going on at that building,” she says. Not to mention births, deaths, weddings, locally focused letters to the editor — “all those things you would expect. That’s what we are trying to focus on.” Of course, there will be digital elements, too. “We’ll have blogs, and a website. We’re going to do the whole electronic media thing,” Archangelo explains. Waterbury has come a long way from serving as a poor sister to Stowe. The town is growing, Archangelo points out. “Green Mountain Coffee has made a huge investment in Waterbury. Unlike a lot of communities in central Vermont, there’s actual construction of housing. People are actually moving there.” She says the Stowe Reporter’s ad rep for Waterbury has staked out the business territory. Advertising will be the free paper’s sole source of revenue. Ken Squier, who owns Waterbury-based WDEV radio, might be first to pick up the inaugural issue on Thursday. His father worked for Whitehill at the original Record, when it was “a highly motivated political paper,” Squier recalls. “Harry Whitehill was a stout Republican who wrote his own editorials and had an opinion. There were letters to the editor. That’s what these papers are for.” Squier doesn’t expect the same political ideology from the new Record. But based on what Archangelo did for the Times-Argus, he’s convinced that she “really does understand what local news means.” “Everything we’ve known about democracy from the beginning says we must have a free press,” Squier continues. “These days the greater issue is: We must have a press, and it has to have divergent opinions and has to get right to the core of the community. That’s why the local town paper is so important.” �

Alveda King casts her militant antiabortion campaign as an extension of Martin Luther King Jr.’s commitment to social justice. Parenthood’s offices in New York and Washington, D.C., did not respond to requests for comments on King’s allegations. Alveda King makes several such incendiary statements without attempting to substantiate them. She says, for example, that abortion is linked to a higher risk of breast cancer and that most women who terminate their pregnancies suffer severe psychological trauma. Reputable medical researchers say there is no scientific basis for these claims. Perhaps in an effort to associate herself more closely with her uncle, Alveda also refers to herself as “Dr. King.” Her doctorate took the form of an honorary degree conferred in 2001 by St. Anselm’s College, a Catholic school in New Hampshire. King says she was emotionally scarred by two abortions she underwent herself. The first, which

ALVEDA KING King recounts that the father of one of her children told her, “Nobody’s going to kill a child of mine.” She identifies the father of Martin Luther King Jr. as the other catalyst for her conversion to the anti-abortion cause. “We don’t kill babies,” Alveda says the elder King told her. �

Holocaust Remembrance Week. Wiesel has written more than 40 books of fiction and nonfiction, but the 78-year-old author is most famous for his first book, Night. The slim, harrowing volume chronicles his experiences in Nazi concentration camps during World War II. Wiesel grew up in Sighet, Transylvania. He was 15 years old in 1944, when German soldiers forced him and his family from their home and deported them to Birkenau. Wiesel and his father were later transferred to Auschwitz, and then to

ularity has not diminished over the years; in 2006, Oprah Winfrey chose Night for her book club. She later televised her interview with Wiesel at Auschwitz. In addition to his literary endeavors, Wiesel has played a prominent role in keeping the memory of the Holocaust alive. In 1978, President Carter appointed him chairman of the President’s Commission on the Holocaust; he later became the founding chairman of the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Council. Wiesel won the Congressional Medal of Freedom in 1985 and the Nobel Peace Prize

the following year. An outspoken human-rights activist, Wiesel has advocated on behalf of a variety of groups, including Cambodian refugees and South African victims of apartheid; he recently spoke out against the genocide in Sudan. Even so, his critics have complained that the devoted supporter of Israel has not done enough to draw attention to the humanitarian crisis in Palestine. UVM Hillel’s executive director, Susan Leff, says Wiesel’s continuing activism enhances his appeal as a speaker. “He has an old message,” she says, “but also a new message.” According to Leff, a student orchestrated Wiesel’s appearance. Senior Meredith Burak is minoring in Holocaust Studies and is involved with Students Take Action Now: Darfur (STAND). Leff stresses that UVM is still finalizing the details of Wiesel’s appearance. More details will be available in a few weeks. One thing certain at this point: Hillel will have to raise more funds to pay for Wiesel’s appearance. Though the Jewish group is partnering with STAND, Students for Peace and Global Justice and UVM Student Life, Leff says about $50,000 is needed — all of which, she notes, will be donated to charity. �

Nobel Winner Elie Wiesel to Speak at UVM

BY ELISABETH CREAN

Kenneth Peck is one of the busiest members of the local film community. He’s a documentary filmmaker, host of Vermont Reel Public Television’s Independents program and the Roxy’s Sunday Cinema Club, and a consultant to local film festivals and commissions. So why is the Charlotte-based “film guy” now directing two challenging Samuel Beckett plays for the stage? There will be lights and action, but no cameras, at Waiting for Godot and Rockaby. The truth is that Peck has been “wearing more than one hat all along,” he says. He’s been involved in theater since junior high school. When he earned his academic degrees in literature, his studies focused on both drama and cinema. For the past several years, Peck has worked with Hinesburg’s “Backyard Players.” The informal community group stages Halloween pageants in a backyard, ranging from skits about the Great Pumpkin to excerpts from Tom Stoppard plays. Peck’s leap from backyard to Beckett was inspired by a confluence of two events. A board member at Lake Champlain Waldorf School, where his children are students, challenged parents to come up with fresh ideas for fundraisers. Thanks to last year’s international hoopla surrounding

the centennial of the Irish playwright’s birth, Peck already had Beckett on the brain. Now he’s taking the director’s chair for four benefit performances, with adult actors both amateur and pro. The school takes home the proceeds. Peck knows many people in the audience will have experienced Godot only in the arid setting of English class. He wants to reconnect them with Beckett’s mischievous sense of humor. “There’s a lot of vaudeville and a lot of silent movie comedy —

slapstick comedy — in here. Beckett was a really big Buster Keaton fan, a Laurel and Hardy fan,” he says. Peck adds that sharp-eyed film buffs may notice two routines “literally . . . stolen from Marx Brothers movies” that the Irishman penned into the play. Expect juggling and singing, too, not an enervating existential exercise. Viewers are less likely to have preconceptions about Rockaby. When Beckett was in his seventies and eighties, he wrote a series of very short one-person

JACK AUSTIN INSIDE THE SWELL CHAMBER Talk about organ donation. When the instrument that made Sunday mornings musical at Burlington’s Universalist Unitarian Society for 50-plus years was approaching its last stop, church officials passed the plate. At a single Sunday morning service in November 2005, they raised more than $400,000 — enough to install what U.U. organist Jack Austin calls “the best developed American Classic design organ in Vermont, surely, and possibly in New England.” Austin unveiled the state-ofthe-art R.A. Colby hybrid at a weekly service last November. In December, the instrument provided accompaniment for Robert De Cormier’s vocal ensemble Counterpoint at a public concert. A recital this weekend by Annette Richards of Cornell University will showcase the organ’s full concertizing capacity. The instrument’s potential “to enable the player to play music of any period at all,” as Austin puts it, drove Richards’ play list. The concert draws on three centuries of organ tradition, from J.S. Bach’s rarely heard “Pièce d’Orgue” through works of Felix Mendelssohn, Edward Elgar and two other Romantics, to 20th-century compositions by Herbert Howells and Charles Ives. If Sunday’s program promotes historical continuity, so does the instrument — and the venue. The house of worship that gives Church Street its name was dedicated in 1817. Its first organ was dragged over the snow from

works specifically tailored to his favorite actors. Peck saw Rockaby in New York two decades ago, and he found it so “striking” that the 14-minute piece has stayed with him. An old woman sits in a rocking chair, speaking infrequently. A recorded voice-over offers words that “could very well be the inside of her head, her own thoughts,” Peck explains. “It evokes her state of mind, and where she is, and what her life has come down to in her last day . . . The whole thing is a kind of theater poem, in a way.”

Boston, according to committee chair Woody Fulton. That one was replaced in 1853 with a Johnson organ. In 1954, an Austin organ was installed using the old Johnson pipes. Those same parts were refurbished and retained for the new instrument. Church members identified the need for this rebuilding project in the early 1990s, when it became clear the 1954 organ was on borrowed time. Rather than simply repairing the existing instrument, they decided to take advantage of new technology and create a concert-quality organ — “something the society could be

produces the paradigmatic organ tone. Shutters behind the great division “swell” the volume by controlling how much sound comes from the hundreds of pipes inside the “swell chamber.” The organ has a total of 1200 pipes of various shapes, sizes and materials — some capped, some open, some fitted with reeds. Each produces a unique pitch and timbre. Played in combination, they can create a nearly limitless palette of aural colors. Augmenting the mechanical stops is a digital library — sounds sampled from actual pipe organs and manipulated through a console

Church members decided to create “something the society could be proud of, and that would be a genuine asset to the community.” proud of, and that would be a genuine asset to the community,” says Austin. A Google search for “organ consultant Vermont” turned up Charles Callahan of Orwell. He connected the committee with R.A. Colby, third-generation organ builders in Tennessee. The resulting instrument is a thing of beauty. Gracefully sculpted silver pipes rise above the triple keyboard. The finely turned cabinetry matches the sanctuary’s elegant 19th-century details. But the audible aesthetics are the ones that count. The 29 pipes visible from the outside are part of the “great division,” which

Rockaby precedes Godot on the program. This weekend’s shows are in Shelburne; next weekend, Peck brings Beckett to Burlington at the Waterfront Theatre. He goodnaturedly likens this schedule to the old-fashioned Broadway tradition of opening first in New Haven — Connecticut, not Vermont — before trying one’s luck on the Great White Way. Peck seems exhilarated about directing his first full stage production in many years. “Live theater is extraordinary,” he notes. “You’re working without a net . . .

designed by Walker Technology. A Midi pushes the possibilities into the realm of electronics. Purists may object, but “what emerges,” Austin insists, “is an astonishingly realistic organ sound.” Organ enthusiasts can decide for themselves. After Richards’ recital this week, three more public performances are planned: Charles Callahan on February 24, UVM’s David Neiweem on March 31, and Austin on the last Sunday of either April or May. �

Dear Cecil, Last weekend I watched the classic 1954 film The Caine Mutiny, which sparked the question: Have there been mutinies aboard U.S. naval vessels, and if so, what were the outcomes? Jeff P., via email

(2) Formal charges but not navy ship. This mutiny took place at the Port Chicago/Mare Island naval complex northeast of San Francisco during World War Two. Port Chicago was a major ammunition depot for the Pacific fleet, where ships were loaded hastily with minimal regard for safety, perhaps because most menial labor was done by black sailors commanded by white officers. On July 17, 1944, the merchant ship E.A. Bryan was being loaded with 4600 tons of explosives when it blew up, killing all 320 men on duty and injuring 390 others. When the surviving workers were told to resume loading ammunition at nearby Mare Island less than a month later, 258 refused. The navy hit 208 of the men with bad-conduct discharges and court-martialed the rest for mutiny. All 50 received lengthy prison terms, but their sentences were commuted shortly after war’s end. (3) Formal charges, ship at sea carrying U.S. military cargo, but not navy. In March 1970 during the Vietnam

The Caine Mutiny opens with the words, “There has never been a mutiny in a ship of the United States Navy.� This may be narrowly true — so far as I can determine, nobody has ever been formally charged with committing mutiny aboard a commissioned U.S. naval vessel. But let’s not bandy words. There have been mutinies in the U.S. Navy, including one conspiracy aboard a ship at sea; U.S. Navy personnel have been formally charged with mutiny and punished for it; and a few poor sods hanged. We’ve just never had a case where all these things applied at the same time. Here’s how it all sorts out: (1) Navy ship but no formal charges. The ship was the brig Somers, discussed in this space before. In 1842 the Somers set sail on a training mission in the Atlantic with a large number of apprentice seamen. During the voyage the ship’s officers heard reports of an impending mutiny, with 18-year-old midshipman Philip Spencer pegged by an informant as the ringleader. With only 10 officers to control more than 100 men, the ship’s captain, Commander Alexander Mackenzie, quickly arrested Spencer and two alleged coconspirators. The three were accused of plotting to seize the vessel, throw loyal seamen overboard, and turn the Somers into a pirate ship. No formal court-martial was held; rather the assembled officers decided the men were guilty and on December 1 Mackenzie had all three hanged. An inquiry once the Somers returned to U.S. waters determined that Mackenzie had acted properly, but fearing he might be brought up on criminal charges in a civilian court (Spencer’s father was secretary of war), the captain requested and was granted a full court-martial. Though widely criticized for acting precipitously, Mackenzie was cleared on all counts after a two-month trial.

war, two sailors used smuggled guns to seize the merchant ship Columbia Eagle, en route to a U.S. Air Force base in Thailand with a cargo of napalm bombs. Most of the crew was tricked into leaving the ship for a lifeboat drill, and the mutineers steamed for Cambodia, where the government granted them asylum as antiwar revolutionaries. Unfortunately for the plotters, two days later the regime was overthrown and they were held as prisoners. One was ultimately returned to the U.S. and convicted of mutiny and other charges; the other escaped from custody in Cambodia and was never found.

hat do you get to Rutland?” Alfred asked me as we stood leaning against his taxi at Vermont Transit. Burlington’s bus terminal is not exactly the bustling hub that comes to mind when you picture, say, the Port Authority in Manhattan. I don’t think more than 15 buses arrive in the course of a day. Not a lot of taxi fares generated, in other words, and most of those are “shorties” — quick trips downtown. So why do we cabbies even bother hanging out here? For the same reason baboons spend all their free time grooming each other: face time with other troop members. A recent National Geographic article showed that the baboons which engage in the most mutual grooming (their primary mode of socializing) turn out over time to be the most physically robust. For this reason, I consider my regular schmooze-time at Vermont Transit as preventive medicine.

Whatever the ups and downs, he’s utterly convinced that everything that happens is God’s will, and a higher power is looking out for him and his daughter. I locked my fingers behind my head and gave my back a nice deep stretch — my daily calisthenics, as it were. There’s plenty of time to kill out here. Workout completed, I asked, “Al, you talking about Rutland or up to Killington?” “Yeah, I mean the ski area,” he clarified. “’Cause I’ll go to Rutland itself for about a hundred, but once you get involved with the mountain, you really want to get about $150. That’s a long haul.” “Shoot, I thought so,” he said, “I undercharged some tourists last week. Oh, well.” Alfred is a big guy, an African-American with a long, oval face that’s just beginning to show jowls and an omnipresent five o’clock shadow — and I’ve seen him at eight in the morning. Like me, he migrated to Vermont as a young man. But whereas I grew up on the teeming concrete streets of New York City, he spent his childhood in a lazy hamlet just outside of Birmingham, Alabama. Maybe that explains his mellowness. I’ve been accused of being many things, but mellow has never made the list. “You got a couple other cabs on the road now, doncha?” I asked. “Sure do,” he replied. “Toughest time finding dependable drivers, though.” Alfred is entrepreneurial by nature, always dreaming up his next venture. For a few years, he had a local bar. Unfortunately, it never did much business.

Alfred — who’s raising this girl without a partner — would sometimes take her along on taxi runs when he couldn’t find a babysitter he trusted. She would sit next to him doing her homework or playing with her dolls or video games. Though he never stops pushing, Alfred is a reflective soul. I remember one time talking deeply with him on a slow afternoon, when he mused out loud about what’s holding him back from “breaking through.” As a person who’s likewise struggled with this material world, I knew just what he meant. 2x4-foreigncar112206 11/16/06 10:38 AM Page 1 Through the years, as Al has battled to scratch out a living with the rest of us, I’ve been impressed by his faith.

hen Juvenile Court Judge Marzia Basel came to the United States from Afghanistan in 2002, she and her fellow Afghan women judges were given some of the highest diplomatic honors afforded to visiting foreign dignitaries. They had dinner at the White House, met with Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice — then secretary of state and national security advisor, respectively. They also had a 45minute impromptu chat with President George W. Bush and First Lady Laura Bush. During her stay in Washington, D.C., Basel, who is also president of the Afghan Women Judges Association, was photographed not wearing her chador, the traditional Islamic headscarf of Afghan women. She returned to Kabul to a firestorm of criticism; one newspaper accused her of “dishonoring the people of Afghanistan.” That photograph cost Basel her judgeship. Small wonder, then, that most Vermonters don’t even know Afghan women judges have been coming to the Green Mountain State for the past three years on cultural exchanges with the Vermont judiciary. While they’re here, the judges have asked that their hosts not publicize their visits. Nonetheless, events this month are calling attention to the Afghan Women’s Judicial Education Project, which brings Afghan women judges to the state for several weeks each year to learn about American jurisprudence. This cultural exchange program, which is sponsored by the International Association of Women

PATRICIA WHALEN

Judges (IAWJ) and the Vermont judiciary, is the subject of a free talk this Friday at the Vermont Law School in South Royalton and a conference this weekend at Dartmouth College. The conference will highlight many of the legal, educational and development connections between New England and Afghanistan, including the construction and support of public schools for Afghan children by a Vermontbased foundation (see sidebar). The project is the brainchild of Vermont Family Court Magistrate Patricia Whalen and the Women’s

Rural Leadership Institute. Whalen, who lives in Westminster West, met Basel several years ago during a trip to Washington, D.C., where Basel was searching for judicial training programs for her fellow Afghan women jurists. Whalen, who’s a member of the IAWJ, offered to help, though she wasn’t sure what she could do as a judge in a rural state with a modestsized judiciary. “I told her, ‘We still do things the old-fashioned way in Vermont,’” Whalen recalls. “‘It’s not a big, glitzy court system.’” Whalen had no idea that the Vermont notion of “old-fashioned” is still light-years ahead of conditions in Afghanistan. There, most courtrooms lack heat and electricity; they’re lit by whatever daylight streams through the windows. There are no computers, video cameras or court stenographers. Instead, Afghan judges rely on an ancient system of scribes, who write down everything witnesses say, then read back the testimony and ask the witnesses to sign it. As Whalen remarks, “Things haven’t changed there since the 13th century.” Even more oppressive than these archaic working conditions are the primitive mindsets of some of the country’s fundamentalist clerics. For years they made it difficult, if not impossible, for women to work as judges and continue their legal education. “Like a lot of women in my position, I was really moved by hearing the stories about what was happening to the women of Afghanistan,” Whalen tells Seven Days, “especially hearing how many professional women were committing suicide and were deprived of the means of supporting themselves.” Every decision that women jurists in Afghanistan make, on or off the bench, is under scrutiny, and the consequences of even the slightest indiscretion can be catastrophic. For instance, one of the four judges who was in Vermont last June recounted an incident that had occurred a month earlier. She had gone to a girls’ high school about an hour outside of Kabul to speak on the legal rights of women under Afghan law. By the time the judge returned to Kabul, she learned that the Taliban had burned the school to the ground. Some hours later, a “night letter,” or threat against her and her family, was left outside her door — a common experience for women judges there. Such are the constant pressures they face in a country still threatened by religious fundamentalism more than five years after the overthrow of the Taliban. “All nine women [who visited Vermont] ran secret schools. And one of the judges who was here last year did the first trial on honor killings in Afghanistan,” Whalen says. “These are exceptionally brave women.” Most of these Afghan women have never known life without warfare, she explains. In most cases, they attended college or law school before or during

BUILDING FROM THE ASHES For the first few years, whenever the anniversary of September 11, 2001, rolled around, Sally and Don Goodrich of Bennington would retire to some secluded place where they couldn’t see a newspaper or a television. Like other families of 9/11 victims, the Bennington couple found it far too painful to see images of the Twin Towers collapsing over and over ad nauseam. Their son Peter, 33, was aboard United Airlines Flight 175, the second plane to strike the World Trade Center. In the years just after his death, the Goodrichs searched in vain for a project to which they could devote themselves, something that was emblematic of the way their son had lived. Then, in August 2004, they were handed a letter by the parents of a next-door neighbor, Marine Corps Major Rush Filson. Filson had been a childhood friend of Peter’s and volunteered for duty in Afghanistan after 9/11. While there, he met an Afghan teacher who changed his whole outlook on the world, according to Sally Goodrich. In his letter, Filson asked his parents to stop sending him gifts — what he really wanted were school supplies for the local Afghan children. That chance encounter would change the Goodrichs’ lives. Sally Goodrich, a school administrator and reading teacher at North Adams Schools in Massachusetts, and Don, an attorney who also chairs the board of the group Families of September 11, immediately recognized the project they’d been seeking. Over the next year or so, the Peter M. Goodrich Memorial Foundation raised about $180,000 to build a school in Surkh Abat, in Afghanistan’s Logar Province. The school, which was completed in January 2006 and dedicated last April, serves about 500 girls who were denied an education under the Taliban. As Sally Goodrich puts it, “All we had to do was give up our right to grieve privately.” Since then, the Foundation has also built a well, provided aid to orphans, donated to two other schools, and created long-term educational opportunities in the United States for Afghan students. This weekend, the Goodrichs will be at Dartmouth College for a conference entitled “New England and Afghanistan: Building Paths of Understanding and Collaboration Across Borders.” They will be speaking about their experiences and their ongoing work helping to educate Afghan children and build bridges to a culture few Americans will ever see. “I’ve seen the worst side, but I’ve also seen the best side of what it means to be a good Muslim,” Goodrich tells Seven Days. “Suffering has enabled us to communicate with people in ways that would not be possible otherwise, and appreciate their life circumstances.” K.P.

The idea, she says, was to impress on them that these problems can be solved when a

community comes together to make it a priority. In that vein, Whalen says the Afghans were probably most impressed by another Vermont tradition: the potluck. Cultural norms of Afghan hospitality dictate that when a visitor comes to someone’s home, the hosts feed their guest. Since this custom can place an enormous burden on the host family, Whalen says, most Afghans refrain from visiting one another’s homes. Whalen and other volunteers in Windham County treated their foreign guests to several potluck dinners during their stay. In fact, they held one every night, each with a theme such as women in medicine, women in law and women in religion. Whalen says the idea struck a real chord with their visitors, who grew up in a tribal society where many of life’s burdens are shared. “Now they have potlucks and they talk about Vermont potlucks in Kabul,â€? she reports. “The women have meetings and one brings the sugar, one brings the tea, and one brings fuel. They now have a way of networking together. And it’s OK, because these Vermont people do it this way.â€? These networks could do more than empower individuals — Whalen suggests they’re vital to the future of Afghanistan. She sums up her hopes for the exchange: “The idea is, you can’t have peace in any of these places unless you have women leaders at the table.â€? ďż˝

FAMILY COURT MAGISTRATE PATRICIA WHALEN

Since the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan in 2001, the situation has improved. But Whalen says many of the female judges she speaks to are fearful that NATO and the international community will withdraw and allow a resurgent Taliban to resume power. In the meantime, the Afghan Women’s Judicial Education Project is continuing its cultural exchange, with four more judges due to arrive in Vermont in May. As in the past, their visit will include a stay at Vermont Judicial College. It’s an annual event when Vermont courts close for a week, allowing all the state’s judges to gather at Breadloaf for a legal refresher and educational update on recent court rulings and procedural changes. Vermont Supreme Court Justice Marilyn Skoglund calls her experience of meeting the women judges rewarding and insightful, both for her and her judicial counterparts from Afghanistan. “What we got was an incredible appreciation for how lucky we are and how good we have it,� Skoglund says. “What they got was a vision of what life could be. We had them laughing and playing volleyball, for goodness’ sake!� Whalen echoes the sentiment that these cultural exchanges go far beyond discussions of legal matters. The Afghans, she says, were “blown away� by virtually everything they experienced, from seeing a woman drive a car alone at night, to the absence of mili-

Name Those ‘Toons A Stowe gallery draws out Vermont’s comics connections

here’s something funny going on in Stowe. Those worried about the effects of global warming on the slopes might even call it comic relief. But talent, not climate change, is the inspiration for STORY the Helen Day Art Center’s first show PAMELA of 2007 — “Fine Toon: The Art of POLSTON Vermont Cartoonists.” While many of the works are not actually “ha-ha” “Fine Toon: funny, the collection of single panels The Art of Vermont and strips, graphic novels, storyboards, Cartoonists,” featuring works literary illustrations, paintings and by Alison Bechdel, sculpture is a worthy diversion regardStephen Bissette, less of weather. Harry Bliss, Curator Idoline Duke says “Fine Jeff Danziger, Toon” is everything she hoped for and Gareth Hinds, James Kochalka, more. The exhibition showcases the high-caliber work of 13 successful carEdward Koren, Hal Mayforth, toonists with Vermont ties, and it also Frank Miller, illustrates the diversity of modern carSkip Morrow, tooning. The gallery’s smallest room Tim Newcomb, Rick Veitch and offers a parallel, historical show featuring four local lampooners. James Sturm. Also, historic “I was looking for true artists,” says drawings by Duke, who credits Montpelier illustrator Stowe locals Hal Mayforth with proposing the idea Alice Blodgett, for a cartoon exhibition. “With each Alex Nimick, Ralph Heath and artist, I asked who else they thought Stanley Lyndes. should be in the show. As it turned out, Helen Day Art I think I got a pretty good group.” Center, Stowe. Duke’s word-of-mouth approach led her to a wildly disparate bunch of artists Reception whose work is linked by the word “carJanuary 26, 5:30-7:30 p.m. tooning” — from venerable New Yorker Exhibit through cartoonist Ed Koren to indie comics March. wunderkind James Kochalka; from www.helenday.com Mayforth’s cheerfully oddball paintings to the gritty graphics of Sin City creator Frank Miller; from Jeff Danziger’s scathing political satire to Gareth Hinds’ exquisite rendering of Beowulf. It’s a rare art exhibit that combines — and connects — superheroes, futuristic monsters, prehistoric creatures, medieval warriors, lumpen or hairy human caricatures, skewered real-life politicos and contemporary fictional lesbians. The show’s central connection, of

course, is Vermont: The featured artists live here either full- or parttime, or they were born here and moved elsewhere. Most of them are in the first camp — a remarkable fact, given the state’s diminutive size. Then again, the number of artists in Vermont may soon surpass that of cows, if it hasn’t already. It doesn’t hurt that the Center for Cartoon Studies (CCS) in White River Junction, founded in 2005, is attracting professional artists, writers and designers to its faculty, as well as preparing wannabes to go forth and multiply. As an article about the CCS in last Sunday’s Los Angeles Times put it, “An increasingly visual culture has turned cartooning into a field with a future, serving a seemingly limitless audience for stories told through hand-drawn pictures.” Many cartoonists have gone digital, enhancing their drawing with software unimaginable a generation ago. But some still do it the old-fashioned way. This range is evident in “Fine Toon.” The exhibit showcases Skip Morrow’s sight-gag cartoons, produced entirely on the computer, as well as old-style specimens such as an early black-and-white drawing for a classic Swamp Thing comic, with layers of acetate. For that matter, it offers pencil or ink drawings

A GALLERY LOOKING FORWARD

“Fine Toon” isn’t the only thing new at the Helen Day Art Center; so are two of the key staff. Idoline Duke, 46, was a volunteer at HDAC before joining the Visual Arts Committee eight years ago, then the board. Last spring, she was a guest curator for a solo show of works by Vermont painter Janet Fredericks. In the fall of 2006, Duke accepted the position of exhibitions director. “Fine Toon” is her first multi-artist show. These days the tall, blond New York native’s life centers on a single ’hood — her husband, Biddle Duke, is publisher of the Stowe Reporter, right across the street. Her two children attend school behind the gallery. A garden designer by profession, Duke draws a parallel between landscape and exhibition design. “They’re both putting on a production, really,” she says, “taking disparate parts and putting them together in a cohesive way, with an eye toward texture, line, color, form — the basic tenets of art. And both are a lot of hands-on work.” Finally getting to hang the show, Duke says happily, “is the part I’ve been waiting months for.” Long familiar with HDAC, Duke provides continuity and institutional memory for brand-new executive director Nathan Suter, who responded to the gallery’s nationwide search from San Francisco. The 34-year-old photographer and arts educator has a strong entrepreneurial and social-mission bent. In S.F., he cofounded a nonprofit arts organization called Root Division that offered classes, programs and events to youth and other art students throughout the Bay area. The model has been successful, creating teaching positions and studio space for working artists while providing arts education in a place where, Suter says, “arts funding in the schools is abysmal.” He and his wife, Morgan Lloyd, have an infant daughter and are making a home in Lloyd’s hometown, Burlington. Suter speaks readily and thoughtfully about such heady ideas as “society’s ability to examine and transform itself.” But his expansive vision for the Helen Day is rooted in the realities of local community: “The Vermont audience is really broad,” he notes. “There’s a population really interested in the world of arts and a population that is not.” Suter hopes to engage them all. “To bring compelling contemporary artwork that’s relevant in the art world and is revelatory to viewers — that’s the fulcrum for other programming,” he suggests. And it helps, he adds, that HDAC’s board “is not afraid to see the future.” P.P.

that have never been near a computer. Still, this exhibition amply demonstrates that certain constants characterize the best cartoonists, namely narrative, human emotion and genuine artistry. The Stowe exhibit “offers the general public the opportunity to see the craft and skill of cartoonists, and to gain insight into the art form behind the medium,” says CCS cofounder Michelle Ollie. “It’s rare in a relatively rural area for people to get to see this.” No surprise that several participants in “Fine Toon” are associated with CCS — including its other cofounder, James Sturm. The Golem’s Mighty Swing, his graphic novel about Jewish baseball players and prejudice in the 1920s, was named Time magazine’s comic of the year in 2001. The drawings for two pages of this graphic novel are in the HDAC show, along with a print enti-

tled “Visitor’s Dugout.” Stephen Bissette, who’s on the faculty and advisory board at CSS, is another star in the comics constellation, known for Saga of the Swamp Thing, Taboo and Tyrant, among other works. Anyone who dismisses the dinosaur as an extinct monstrosity should view Bissette’s sequence of drawings that depict an infant Tyrannosaurus rex hatching from its shell and the devoted ministrations of its mother. Delicately and dramatically inked, they are a highlight of this show. Kochalka, also on the Center’s faculty, is known internationally for his enormous output of alternative comics, graphic novels — such as Monkey vs. Robot and Sketchbook Diaries — and paintings, as well as for his recordings as James Kochalka Superstar. A fixture of the Burlington music scene and a cult

fave on college radio, he has developed animated cartoons for Nickelodeon. All this notoriety aside, Kochalka, like most artists, works alone. “We don’t really hang out together,� he notes of his fellow Vermont artists. “It just feels good to know there are other world-class cartoonists around. I feel less isolated.� “Isolated� may or may not be a word Alison Bechdel would use to describe herself. On her way to a cartoon conference in France, she was unavailable to comment on her status as the only female in “Fine Toon.� But even that 12:1 ratio is probably better than that of the cartoon industry as a whole, which is overwhelmingly dominated by men. In the niche of lesbian cartoonists, however, Bechdel rules with her syndicated strip and book collections of “Dykes to Watch Out For.� Her critically acclaimed debut graphic memoir, Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic, is a finalist for a 2006 National Book Critics Circle Award in the autobiography category. For “Fine Toon,� Bechdel contributed two sets of pages from Fun Home to demonstrate her artistic process, as well as an original strip from DTWOF. Some of the artists in this exhibition have multiple connections. For example, Ed Koren and Harry Bliss are both visiting faculty at CSS, and they represent two generations of New Yorker cartoonists. Koren’s hairy, longnosed figures are immediately recognizable, and his wry observations of social behavior are often punctuated with an astute use of language. In one of his displayed cartoons, a cavernous factory room is filled with workers, their grim faces turned toward a well-

dressed gentleman on a podium. He tells the crowd: “Our operations close down today, and you are all now emeritus.� In this cartoon, the callow use of the honorific is lost on “the regular people who are kicked on their ass,� Koren explains. This sardonic twist, and the podium motif, are coincidentally echoed in one of his seldom-seen “per-

Koren says they represent the ways in which people of various, and often dubious, achievements have been honored. “These drawings are full of social contradictions and issues I like to think about and can’t really achieve in cartoons,� he says. While the drawings give the eye more to contemplate than do Koren’s cartoons, they don’t offer the same pinpoint clarity. “They all have stories of their own — you just have to ferret it out,� he suggests.

Bliss’ images, but he’s got a gift for imagining scenarios in which something is a little . . . twisted. The surprise in his section of the exhibit is a large-scale painting on canvas, entitled “La Vendetta del Montros,” which features outsized cats sitting on New York City. In one of his covers for The New Yorker displayed at HDAC, Bliss has elegantly drawn the front of the New York Public Library, focusing on one of the guardian lions. But something is amiss in the familiar scene. Bloodied feathers protrude from the lion’s mouth, and he has a shifty look in his eye; alarmed birds flutter around him. In another cover illustration, which Duke says the magazine rejected because “it looked too dangerous,” a baby is

strapped to the front of his mother as she hurtles earthward from an aerial ski jump. Lack of subtlety may not work for The New Yorker. But making a point quickly and directly is the name of the game in political cartooning — a genre represented here in single panels by Tim Newcomb and Jeff Danziger. With his masterful caricatures and witty take on dead-serious subjects, Danziger is syndicated by The New York Times to hundreds of papers, including the Rutland Herald, where he got his start in 1975. Montpelier cartoonist and illustrator Newcomb puts a humorous spin on pointed observations of Vermont politics for Seven Days and the Times Argus. Here he has contributed a rather Bliss-like drawing of a family picnicking and reading beside a fence, unaware of the horse and rider about to leap it from the other side. Newcomb has also included an original illustration for a post-election cover of Seven Days; it reveals that, like Danziger, he does a mean George W. Bush. The superhero/fantasy set has no use for politics — or reality. Within this group in “Fine Toon,” the multitalented Frank Miller has earned heroic status himself. He grew up in Montpelier and went on to create now-legendary comic books in the 1970s and ’80s — Daredevil, the Electra Saga, Ronin, his continuation of the Batman series, and others. In the ’90s came more adult graphic novels and movies, including the scripts for Robocop 2 and 3. The urban noir serial Sin City was literally fleshed out in a critically acclaimed 2005 film starring Bruce Willis and Benicio Del Toro. Miller wrote the script, based on four stories in the series, and shared directing credits with Robert Rodriguez. The film earned an R rating for “strong

stylized violence, nudity and sexual content.” Though it’s not for the faint of heart, the hard-edged, starkly drawn images are masterful. Four original pages from Sin City, Booze, Broads & Bullets, appear in the Stowe exhibit. For “Fine Toon,” Idoline Duke has corraled 13 cartoonists with evident similarities and connections. And yet, inspired by the same graphic medium, they are endlessly, gorgeously different. Ultimately, it’s the singularity of vision that makes these ’toons fine. �

Warm Earth, Cold Beds? Theater preview: The Boycott

lobal warming makes front-page news almost every day now. Al Gore raised the level of public awareness when he laid out the case in last year’s surprise hit documentary An Inconvenient STORY Truth. The sharp rise in carbon dioxELISABETH ide emissions has increased temperaCREAN tures worldwide, resulting in disappearing glaciers and polar ice, disruptIMAGE ed rainfall and ocean-current patterns, MATTHEW and species and habitat loss. As ski THORSEN resorts suffer, snowmobiles sit idle, and ice fishing shanties languish The Boycott, ashore, even Vermont legislators have written by put climate change atop their agenda. Kathryn Blume Could a raunchy, 2400-year-old and directed by Greek sex comedy hold the key to a Jason Jacobs. FlynnSpace, solution? Well, not literally. But in Burlington, The Boycott, actress Kathryn Blume January 30 & has penned a one-woman show that February 4 proposes a tactic straight from at 7:30 p.m. Aristophanes’ Lysistrata. Women go $26. on a sex strike to pressure political leaders — the fictional self-absorbed President, in particular — into taking action. If the planet gets hot, the men will get naught. The Boycott is a one-woman, multicharacter play-within-a-play. The lead character is an actress named Kathy. As the opening monologue explains, the show contains the “big, splashy Hollywood comedy” that Kathy wants to make, but can’t because she’s “an obscure performance artist from Vermont.” So she acts out all the parts of her dream cast, starting with Susan Sarandon as First Lady Lyssa Stratton and George Clooney as the President. The movie’s plot is a modern spin on Aristophanes’ ancient “ruckus-raising sex farce,” as Blume describes it. Inspired by an ailing rainforest frog, the First Lady launches a sex boycott in order to convince her hubby to combat global warming. Acting as the narrator, Kathy envisions consequences of the Eros moratorium more far-reaching than any Aristophanes described. For example: What happens to the poor Viagra executive? The title character of the original Lysistrata rallied the women of Athens and Sparta to keep their temples closed until the men laid down their swords. In the process, she became one of the legendary ladies of literature. Laden with “good Greek dick jokes,” as Blume says, the play was originally performed at raucous annual festivals honoring Dionysius. The actors, all men, sported giant leather phalluses protruding from short tunics. But behind the genital jesting lay a serious message. Aristophanes saw that the protracted Peloponnesian War had destroyed Athens’ Golden Age. It was his country’s Vietnam. This isn’t Blume’s first crack at modernizing Lysistrata, or the first issue with which she’s associated it. For a decade, like her counterpart “Kathy” in the play, she toyed with the idea of crafting a modern movie version. During the run-up to the Iraq war, Blume worked actively on a script. Then she heard that a New York group, Theater Artists Against War, was planning a day of action on March 3, 2003. Her screenplay wasn’t

going to be ready in time for a public reading. An email exchange with a friend about how they could participate led to “one of those ‘Yes, and . . .’ conversations, which spiraled out of control,” Blume remembers. “Within basically 24 hours, we came up with this idea of doing as many readings of Lysistrata as we could, both to raise money for humanitarian aid in Iraq and to raise awareness and provide people an avenue of opposition.” The idea caught on fire virtually overnight. Blume found herself at the center of the “first-ever worldwide act of theatrical dissent,” as the Lysistrata Project came to call itself. In just a

few months, more than 1000 readings had been organized for the appointed day, in 59 countries and all 50 states. Included were unlikely locations such as Serbia and Cambodia, and ones where people actually put themselves at risk, such as China, Cuba and a Kurdish refugee camp in Greece. Blume’s moment in the spotlight included star-studded readings and “massive international press,” she says. But the frenzied beehive of activity soon died down, and she found her life quiet again. At the time, she was living in New York City. The epicenter of the theater universe, it didn’t offer Blume many outlets for her other passion, environmentalism.

“Here I am with these raging ambitions: I want to be a huge actor and have a great career and save the world and clean up everything, and I’m not doing either one, and I feel absolutely helpless,” Blume recalls. But the Lysistrata Project felt like a turning point. She had watched an ephemeral email turn into global engagement. Her email. So Blume wrote about the whirlwind she had just stirred, creating a one-woman show called The Accidental Activist. “It’s the story of somebody learning to take action in her life,” she explains. She eventually took the piece on tour to 30 cities and did a full run last year at

Blume has been married for 12 years to Mark Nash, artistic director of the Vermont Stage Company, but the couple had been doing the twocareer, two-city commuter marriage. “Go figure – living with my husband is actually preferable than being apart all the time!� Blume says with a smile. After The Accidental Activist, Blume thought about returning to her Lysistrata movie script. But her recent experiences had made her less sanguine about bigscreen dreams. “The truth is,� Blume admits, “I don’t know anyone in

WOMEN INTERESTED IN BECOMING PREGNANT WHO HAVE NEVER BEEN PREGNANT

Preeclampsia and other disorders of pregnancy involving high blood pressure are a leading

global cause of maternal and infant illness and death. The cause of preeclampsia is still not fully understood, though the disease was recognized and described nearly 2000 years ago.

specific risk factors for preeclampsia This study is an effort to identify which may exist prior to pregnancy and to better understand who is at risk for developing this disease during pregnancy.

Hollywood, and the likelihood of my getting a screenplay written, sold and produced is fairly low.� Still, the success of The Accidental Activist bolstered her confidence about creating and performing solo stage work. So into the creative soup for Blume’s next project went her old friend Lysistrata, the frustrated movie-making fantasy, a gift for solo performance and a return to what she calls her long-standing “heart issue�: the environment. Blume’s twin passions for performing and the planet date back at least as far as college, where she designed her own custom major in theater and environmental studies. Although global warming is new on many people’s radar screens, Blume recalls an early flash of awakening. While spending the summer in Seattle nearly 20 years ago, she read an article in the local paper that envisioned the city under 20 feet of water. (Sea levels would be raised this much by the melting of Greenland’s glaciers or substantial polar ice.) “It was a moment of ‘Wow, I don’t want to live long enough to see that,’� Blume recalls. The image of water creeping up the sides of the Space Needle particularly disturbed her. Today, Blume is most alarmed by scientists who estimate that we have just 10 years to reverse course and avert catastrophe. It’s overwhelming “to be given that short a time frame for a task that’s so Herculean, and that calls for such a complete and utter 180 turnaround in the whole way we live our lives,� she says. To research her show, Blume began looking at every news and weather report “through the lens of ‘We’re facing worldwide ecological collapse,’� she says. The prep proved emotionally difficult. “It was really this process of reading and crying and writing,� Blume confesses. Two comfort activities, eating dark chocolate and

friend, colleague and collaborator since their college days. He’s currently helping her hone the piece. Jacobs believes the choice of first-person perspective gives the audience an immediate point of entry. It’s “that very human, individual responseâ€? missing from statistics-heavy news stories, he says. “It makes grappling with the issue easier to deal with if you know you’re not the only one who feels that way,â€? says Blume. “I didn’t want to let people off the hook by just telling them a fictitious story. I don’t want to put them too much on the hook by saying, ‘And here’s what you have to do about it.’ But I felt like, if I told a completely fictitious and highly farcical story, it would allow them to escape a little too far.â€? So Blume frames The Boycott as Kathy’s story. In a similar way, Al Gore’s personal narrative shapes An Inconvenient Truth. In the film, Gore confesses to his sense of failing to communicate what he has known for 30 years. Both Kathy and Gore reveal themselves as vulnerable storytellers. Jacobs thinks both narrators share an underlying struggle: “How do we do something before we allow the despair to come in?â€? That vulnerability gives the message wings. The engaging, sincere messenger holds audience members’ attention, whether they’re laughing at Kathy’s blueballs jokes or gasping at Gore’s charts that show levels of greenhouse gases. Blume aims to reach as wide an audience as she can. She’s morphing her original dream of a Lysistrata film into a smaller production for the cinematic medium du jour: YouTube. Blume will wield a camera on stage, have one in the house and post the results. Gore’s “slide showâ€? grossed $40 million in worldwide box office, without any references to dicks. (Unless you count Cheney.) Maybe Blume has a shot a stardom, after all. ďż˝

The Story of Modern Skiing by John Fry. University Press of New England, 380 pages. $27.95.

nvision “a macho sport that called for resolute participants willing to endure waiting times of forty-five minutes” before boarding a lift. “Tow operators often were willing to trade a ticket with anyone willing to pack the snow for an hour by sidestepping the hill first thing in the morning.” Rain, meanwhile, left most participants pushing their cars out of thighhigh mud at the end of the day after shouldering their skis long distances. Sound like a day at a Vermont ski resort with only a few trails open, earlier this socalled “winter”? Not exactly — this is how modern skiing began after World War II, according to John Fry, a longtime ski editor and part-time Vermonter. In The Story of Modern Skiing, Fry shares his unparalleled knowledge of snow business in a 380-page volume stuffed with history, photos and, as he points out, more than 500 footnotes and endnotes and an index filled with 1000 names and places.

nobody else has,” says Fry in a phone interview, shortly before fleeing his home in Westchester, New York, for the snows of Colorado. Fry is the former editor-in-chief of Ski magazine and the founder of Snow Country magazine, among other publications. He also helped launch the popular National Standard Ski Race (NASTAR) and the Graduated Length Method of ski instruction, which he tested at Killington. When the time came to put the cap back on his pen, however, Fry found that he still had more writing to do. “I felt that when I retired, it would be almost criminal of me just to walk away from the sport and not give something back,” he says. Modern Skiing began as a memoir; when publishers seemed cold on that idea, it morphed into a highly readable historical account. While Fry sprinkles the pages here and there with his personal experiences, the book is primarily about skiing’s storied people and places — many of them in Vermont. Modern skiing began just north of Burlington, according to Fry, in the folded hills around Montréal, where New Yorkers and Bostonians found more reliable snow

than they did in the Adirondacks and Green and White Mountains. “Most Americans don’t realize that many of the ideas — the ski trains, the rope tow, the first ski school — they were all in the Laurentians,” says Fry, who discusses such Canadian contributions throughout Modern Skiing. “It’s the first book not to treat the 49th parallel, on the U.S. border, as if it were a defining thing.” Skiing evolved from a primitive sport — with 45-minute lift lines, volunteer snowpackers rather than grooming machines, and washed-out parking lots — to a fashionable weekend activity. And Vermont’s impact on that evolution was profound, Fry shows in his book. The first rope tow in the United States appeared at Suicide Six, near Woodstock, while instructors at Jay Peak pioneered the parallel turn. Walt Schoenknecht, who founded Mount Snow, widened ski trails in a way that would be imitated by resorts all over the country. (Happily, though, his plans to detonate an atomic bomb for a skiing amphitheater on one side of the mountain were never realized.) “Vermont was enormously influential,” says Fry. “It was also the popular place for people to go for a ski week.” Sun Valley, Aspen and Stowe were the three top destination resorts in the 1940s and ’50s. For Eastern skiers, trips to Idaho and Colorado were often too much hassle, and the West’s loss was Stowe’s gain. It was “the capital of eastern skiing,” hosting international ski races, Fry points out. Among ski racers, Fry pays tribute to double gold medalist Andrea Mead Lawrence, whose parents owned Pico, and to the Cochrans of Richmond. Members of that family were all “coached by their father Mickey on a rope-tow hill in the back of the family’s house in Vermont, where the kids could race daily through the gates.” Fry likens former U.S. Ski Team director and World Cup creator Bob Beattie, who went to Middlebury College, to a combination of Vince Lombardi, Pete Rozelle and Howard Cosell. Today, Whistler, British Columbia, typically wins top honors for post-slope partying. But Modern Skiing reminds readers that the word “hot” was once associated with New England’s social offerings rather than its snow-shunning weather. As Fry writes, “In 1967, a third of America’s dozen best après-ski places were in Vermont: the Wobbly Barn at Killington, the Blue Tooth at Sugarbush, Sister Kate’s at Stowe, and the Five Flys in Manchester.” Modern Skiing also heats up economic and political debates. In five sections — “People and Place,” “Technique and Equipment,” “Alpine Competition,” “Diversity” and “The Culture and Business of Skiing” — Fry examines not only the where and who of the sport, but also the why and how. He takes a long view that offers refreshing honesty and surprising insight. One controversial episode Fry discusses is the 1977 ruling by a Burlington judge and jury that awarded $1.5 million to a skier who became paralyzed at Stratton Mountain. The decision led to increased insurance costs for resorts nationwide, along with a ban on dangerous aerial stunts during hot-dog competitions. It ultimately engendered an international circuit of freestyle skiers who held their own contests. Fry’s book covers the growth of other disciplines besides alpine skiing. He discusses Jake Burton and snowboarding, the ski bal-

nated by the color maroon — for blood, perhaps? — rather than today’s black diamonds. Snakes, eggs and swallowing are images ski teachers once used to describe efficient turning technique. While some of the ski facts are fun, so is Fry’s voice, which occasionally pokes fun at the industry that spawned his own career. Chronicling the Olympic Winter Games, he writes, “Comparable to the notion that a sucker is born every minute is the quadrennial prediction by politicians — encouraged by audacious, avaricious developers — that the Winter Games will bring lasting benefits to any city that bids for them.” Fry also quotes John Kenneth Galbraith, the Harvard professor emeritus of economics, who believed Vermont’s economy “was sustained by a succession of capital losses . . . Investors flee the

And, given the fragmentation of snow-sliders into telemarkers, mogul skiers, powderhounds, snowboarders and more, some may find other holes in Fry’s narrative. But with nearly 400 pages of material, Fry explains, he had to leave something out. “There’s a virtual publishing industry of 10th Mountain Division books,” he says. “And a European might criticize that my book focuses on North Americans, but that’s who is going to buy it.” It’s impressive how much Fry actually does pack into a volume that would fit in a skier’s backpack along with a couple of sandwiches. Modern Skiing is full of helpful timelines, appendices and glossaries, along with ski trivia. For instance, Fry notes that Dr. Ruth Westheimer was skiing in the Catskills when she met her husband, a man who was short enough to ride the T-bar with her. Other interesting tidbits: Difficult slopes were once desig-

city and buy old inns, ye olde shoppes, and ski areas; they lose money operating them; then they sell them to the next idealistic investors, who continue the cycle.” In the cycle of skiing, where does Vermont stand today? Fry says Stowe remains his favorite resort. And, while he laments the loss of the ski culture he recalls in Modern Skiing, he resists waxing overly nostalgic about the sport’s past. “Ski equipment is better, so, like thousands of people, I was skiing better at the age of 50 than I was at the age of 20,” he says. “The variety of skiing is better, the trail design is better, and the snowmaking allows you to ski when it was impossible before.” That is, when temperatures dip low enough for snowmaking. The author is unequivocal when discussing recent warming trends. “Emphatically, it’s global warming,” says Fry, who lives in a passive solar home. “It’s very alarming; skiers, who are naturally environmentalists, should set an example in the kinds of cars they buy and how they design and live in their homes.” �

let of Rutland’s Suzy Chaffee — whose photo is an acute reminder that Spandex was once ubiquitous — and the ski-mountaineering accomplishments of Vermonter Jan Reynolds. Fry also includes the growth of Nordic skiing at Trapp Family Lodge, the achievements of Vermont’s world-class cross-country skier Bill Koch, the launch of the first cross-country skiing magazine, Cross-Country Skier, in Brattleboro, and his own memories of using skinny skis on a Vermont golf course. “A full moon washed the snow-covered fairways in an eerie pallor, and the Green Mountains were etched in jagged black lines against the sky,” Fry writes. “I was able to gaze up at the winter stars and the alabaster full moon as I coasted along the surface of the snow as if in a dream.” Readers hoping to learn more about the 10th Mountain Divi-

ccording to the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, our nation of 300 million people was awash in approximately 223 million privately owned firearms in 2005. Judging by the EXHIBIT “Gun Show,” a artworks riddled with bullet holes in group multime- Studio Place Arts’ current “Gun Show,” dia show that we can assume some of those lethal examines the weapons were in the hands of triggerpotent symbolhappy creative types.

The contributions by Northeast “Figurines” by Kingdom sculptor David Bradshaw are Cynthia as shot up as a Dick Cheney hunting Consentino buddy. According to exhibition notes PHOTO prepared by SPA studio artist Janet Van Marc Fleet, Bradshaw once collaborated with Awodey writer William S. Burroughs to produce a bullet-riddled artist book entitled Propagation Hazard. He clearly isn’t squeamish about firing guns. Bradshaw’s 1974 minimalist piece entitled “7T” — a 3-foot-in-diameter galvanized steel disk suspended from the gallery ceiling — is full of bullet holes. Apparently, firing guns has been integral to Bradshaw’s art for more than 30 years. A similar pelting was the fate of a 26-by-32-inch cut-out steel ram from

1979 and three “Double Rams” outlines on brown cardboard from 2006. Marilyn Wenker and Patty Mucha are the show’s two pistol-packing painters. Wenker presents a flickering 1982 video documenting how she executed — firing-squad style — an entire

Edouard Manet’s 1865 odalisque entitled simply “Olympia.” The St. Johnsbury artist produced her brightly hued painting in 1988 and emptied a revolver into it in 2005. Under the bullet holes, it’s a bucolic scene of a voluptuous, red-haired nude woman loung-

could also be viewed as silly. Even something as serious as the Tiananmen Square massacre is distilled into a cartoonish parody. Of course, it may well be a pointed parody. Noted Randolph cartoonist/artist Phillip Godenschwager’s “The Whole World Was Watching” is a

The works include a host of uniquely inspired, artistic shooting irons that reflect America’s dangerous love affair with firearms. painting exhibition at St. Michael’s College. That now-legendary incident was in response to an attempted confiscation of her canvasses by bankers who were getting nasty over a bad debt. Wenker fought back and won in court, with the help of famed civil rights lawyer Howard Kunstler. Then she lined up the acquitted paintings and shot them. Thus altered, Wenker’s recovered property became known as “Shooting Ducks Series: Dancers 198182.” A lively smashed and perforated abstraction from the event appears at SPA along with her video. Patty Mucha’s shot-up 36-by-40inch oil on linen, “Joyce as Olympia — Plugged,” is a reinterpretation of

ing under a tree, accompanied by three nonchalant geese. In addition to actual shot, the show features many shooters. “Figurines,” by Northampton, Massachusetts, sculptor Cynthia Consentino, is a group of three little girls wearing flowery dresses and toting big assault rifles. Like Charlie’s Angels as first-graders, the 10-inch-tall figures exert their own brand of “gun control.” In another, untitled piece, Consentino’s steely-eyed 13-by-16-inch cast-iron schoolgirl takes steady aim with what appears to be a classic .45caliber World War II military pistol. While layers of complex social commentary can be read into practically everything in this show, many works

7-foot-tall sculpture featuring a hollow, 21-inch Motorola television topped by an oversized, archetypal tank. Its barrel is pointed directly at the viewer. The TV is chock-full of hundreds of gaudy toys, including little clowns, a tin chicken and a Statue of Liberty. Perhaps they represent the diverse dreams of the protesters with democratic aspirations who were wiped out by the People’s Liberation Army on June 4, 1989. Or perhaps the creatures represent the “whole world” of television viewers who absorbed the horrific event from the comfort of their living rooms. This is one of several works in the “Gun Show” that straddle a thin line between comedy and tragedy. m

The “Deal” World Here’s the deal. As much as we like to talk about games as an interactive medium, the fact is that plenty of us enjoy just sitting there and watching. How else to explain the popularity of prime-time game shows such as “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire,” “The Weakest Link” and “Deal or No Deal?” As with sports, sometimes it’s just as much fun to sit on the sidelines and cheer and jeer. Sooner or later, though, anything worth watching on television seems to bleed into the world of interactive digital entertainment. The idea of repurposing cheesy television for gaming content might not light up the eyes of hardcore gamers who are used to original content and blockbuster production values. But it sure sells games. In the week before Christmas, the “Deal” video game was near the top of the sales charts, trailing only “The Sims 2 Pets Expansion Pack” and “World of Warcraft.” So what’s the allure? Much like its big brother on the tube, the “Deal or No Deal” game carves the show’s formula down to its bare essentials — a contest of nerves and the ability to assess risk. The contestant must select one of 25 briefcases as his or her prize. The case contains an amount of money ranging between one penny and a cool million dollars. Before revealing the prize, the player selects sets of cases to open in order to see what’s inside. Whatever shows up in the cases on the stage logically does not appear in the player’s prize case. As the mix of possible winnings changes based on the revealed amounts, a mysterious “banker” calls in to offer cash to the contestant to buy out his or her case. The more likely it is that the prize case holds a lot of money, the more the banker offers.

The show’s drama revolves around rooting for a contestant to risk more than he or she should, and to let greed drive otherwise sensible choices. Add into the mix a cool, calm and collected Howie Mandel as host, and you have the formula for television gold. The question is, “Does this dynamic work on the computer screen as well as it does on the big plasma television in the living room?” While the allure remains, the video game loses much of its excitement. Even with a virtual Howie chattering on about your prospects to take home big money, the game lacks real prizes and the social tension that comes from watching something with friends. The game’s designers have seen this potential problem and have cooked up mini-games and multiplayer options to help keep the format from growing dull. A feature allowing you to load the cases with your own prizes — whether it’s foot rubs or hours spent cleaning the house — promises to add back some

dramatic tension. In the end, though, it turns out that while video games and game shows share essential DNA, they remain distant evolutionary cousins. You can move content from the television to the game machine, but that doesn’t mean it’s more than a novelty. If you never miss a chance to catch Howie staring glassily at contestants, then this is a deal. For everyone else, “No deal.” If You Like This, Try That: “Family Feud” offers more of the timeless guessing of what “the survey says.” You can even create your own virtual family to play along. Silly, for sure. But enjoyable in its simplicity. Best Part: In a desperate effort to spice up the proceedings and mimic the show, host Howie Mandel makes sure to tell you the name of the (simulated) model opening each case.

theborowitzreport Rosie-Trump Feud Moves Doomsday Clock Closer to Midnight

T

he ongoing feud between Rosie O’Donnell and Donald Trump could have deadly consequences for the world if either obtained nuclear weapons, a group of leading nuclear scientists announced today. The Chicago-based Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, founded in 1945 as a publication by nuclear physicists worried about the possibility of nuclear war, expressed their concern about the Rosie-Trump brouhaha by moving the fabled Doomsday Clock forward to three minutes to zero. The scientists’ announcement left little doubt that they see the brutal smackdown between Mr. Trump and Ms. O’Donnell as the most likely harbinger of Armageddon. “Clearly, if either Rosie O’Donnell or Donald Trump obtained nuclear weapons, the world would be burnt to a crisp,” said Stephen Hawking, the famed cosmologist and mathematician. “We haven’t been so concerned since fighting broke out between Liza Minnelli and David Gest.” While the scientists offered no

solutions to their downbeat scenario, such as economic sanctions against Mr. Trump or a naval embargo against Ms. O’Donnell, it was their hope that by moving the Doomsday Clock to three minutes to midnight they would catch the attention of world leaders. But according to the University of Minnesota’s Davis Logsdon, who studies nuclear proliferation among unhinged celebrities, the scientists’ assessment

of the threat posed by the Rosie-Trump dust-up may be overdone. “It’s not as if Naomi Campbell got hold of a nuke and threw it at the world,” he said.

january 25-31

ARIES (March 21-April 19): In recent years,

groups of students at Yale and other Ivy League universities have pioneered a unique cultural trend: naked parties. Those in attendance at one of these invitation-only affairs agree to spend the evening in their birthday suits. “The dynamic is completely different from a clothed party,” reports Yale coed Megan Crandell, quoted in The Scotsman. “People are so conscious of how they’re coming across that conversations end up being more sophisticated.” Your assignment, Aries — should you choose to accept it — is to bring the phenomenon of the naked party to your own locale. According to my reading of the astrological omens, you’re meant to be a social catalyst who inspires people to strip away their defenses and practice the art of radical authenticity.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Your web

of allies is a crucial part of your pursuit of happiness. The stimulation and support you ask them for are vivid evidence that you love life and have a strong sense of what’s good for you. Every now and then, however, you need to remember that it’s important to avoid falling completely under their influence. You’ve got to resist peer pressure, and declare your independence from the crowd’s power to shape you. Now is such a time, Taurus.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “Never eat food

you did not prepare yourself,” wrote journalist David Filipov about the lessons he learned while traveling in the Central Asian republic of Tajikistan, “and never eat out of the same dish as 12 paramilitary stormtroopers you’ve just met.” Draw inspiration from Filipov’s approach, Gemini. Dare yourself to explore an exotic frontier, but exercise great discrimination while you’re learning the ropes and getting the lay of the land.

CANCER

(June 21-July 22): It’s Be Your Own Muse Week, Cancerian. How should you observe this festival? Here’s one suggestion. First, visualize in detail your dream lover . . .

order up!

your ideal soul mate . . . the embodiment of everything you find attractive. Second, imagine that though this person feels the same way about you, there is a very good reason why the two of you can’t make love or be together as a couple for a long time. Next, feel the sweet torment of your unquenched longing for each other, the impossible ache of fiery tenderness. Finally, picture all the ways you will work on yourself in the coming years to refine your soul and perfect your love, so that when the two of you can finally be united, you will have made yourself into a gorgeous genius — a pure blessing and exquisite gift for your beloved.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22): Chinese scientists have discovered that the behavior of snakes is a reliable predictor of earthquakes. In the lead-up to a temblor, the reptiles act oddly, slithering frantically out of their nests if they’re in their natural habitat, or hurling themselves head-first against walls if they’re being kept in laboratories or zoos. I mention this, Leo, because I’ve had two dreams recently about snakes wearing party hats, sipping cocktails, singing karaoke, and dancing on tabletops. Each dream also featured several of my Leo friends acting pretty much like the snakes. If I factor in these nocturnal portents with my analysis of the current astrological omens, I interpret them as prophecies that the Leo tribe will soon be experiencing metaphorical “earthquakes” of liberating pleasure and cathartic fun.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The swan is a

beautiful bird, right? If you see one gliding across a pond, it evokes in you a feeling of calm. In fairy tales, it’s a symbol of natural grace, an emblem of animal elegance. But those lovely associations are becoming irrelevant in England, where swan populations have grown so massive and voracious that they’re threatening ecosystems and damaging biodiversity. I guess we could say that their destructive overabundance exemplifies the theme of too much of a good thing. It’s an apt metaphor for the challenge I believe you’ll face in the coming days, Virgo.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Don’t feel bad

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The

if you come from a dysfunctional family. Studies done by The Institute for the Study of Universal Addiction indicate that 97 percent of all families are dysfunctional. You should, however, feel bad if you pass up the opportunities you now have to heal the ravages caused by your dysfunctional family. Here’s a good place to start: By trying to dissolve your habit of feeling victimized, damaged, or burdened by the people with whom you shared your original home, you could release yourself from a curse you’ve been casting on yourself — and magically set in motion overdue changes in your other family members.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):

“Man is least himself when he talks in his own person,” observed Oscar Wilde. “Give him a mask and he’ll tell you the truth.” Using that as our hypothesis, Sagittarius, I urge you to adopt playful disguises to help you express yourself this week. You could go to a costume store and buy a mask of one of history’s great communicators. (How about Winston Churchill, Abraham Lincoln, or Eleanor Roosevelt?) Or you could simply pretend to be a slightly different person than your normal self. Speak in a foreign accent. Take on the body language of a hip-hop artist or professional wrestler. Or imagine that you’re already the person you’ll be three years from today.

analysis of the astrological omens suggests that you’ll be more animalistic than usual in the coming weeks. Your instinctual intelligence will be high, which means you’ll have a good sense of who to trust and who not to trust. In fact, your body will be offering you a stream of valuable information about other matters as well, from tips on how to rise higher in the pecking order to clues about where to find the best hunting grounds. It’s also likely that you’ll be hornier and wilder than usual. That could be quite fun or it could get you into trouble. Which way it goes will depend on how well the human in you both respects and controls the animal in you.

cosmic powers-that-be are encouraging you to be a brazen instigator of novelty, a pioneering magician who dares to initiate inspired trends that may upset the status quo. If you can summon the charismatic nerve to cooperate with this prod, Aquarius, there’s no telling what drastic acts of benevolent disruption you could conjure up. And they would ultimately lead, I have little doubt, to constructive innovations. (P.S. Would you believe me if I told you that a previously dormant section of your genetic code is primed to spring into action?)

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20): In her book Frankenstein, Mary Shelley created a monster who was smart and sensitive. He felt empathetic pain for the suffering of Native Americans. He desperately wanted a mate. He read Milton’s Paradise Lost, and felt a grieving kinship with the struggles of Adam depicted therein. In accordance with current astrological omens, Pisces, I encourage you to acknowledge and express love for your own inner Frankenstein monster — the tormented, disfigured, and yet powerful part of your psyche that needs your compassion. I’m sure that this will prevent it from doing what Shelley’s fictional character ultimately did, which was to go on a rampage — and will maybe even set it on a course to become a force for good.

LIbRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You recently went through a phase whose quality I might compare to a dry, crunchy, bran-heavy breakfast cereal without milk. It fed your hunger, though it wasn’t particularly tasty or thrilling. It was highly concentrated and good for your digestion. Now you’re slipping into a kind of Cracker Jack mode, with lots of airy puffs of popcorny sweetness and an occasional nut, climaxed by a toy surprise. The Cracker Jack phase will be more like a snack than a meal, though, and it won’t last too long. By next week at this time, I’m guessing your life will have resemblances to a hearty, organic, five-grain hot cereal sweetened with maple syrup and cinnamon.

film review forms, we’re all the same. The charismatic Ken Watanabe stars as General Tadamichi Kuribayashi, a gentleman warrior who has lived and made friends in the U.S., and now finds himself in charge of booby trapping the volcanic island in anticipation of the American military’s arrival. What we know this time around is what the Japanese high command knew prior to the invasion: The Imperial fleet had been wiped out. Air support would be minimal because planes, along with thousands of troops, needed to be redeployed to the mainland. Food, water and ammunition were in short supply. There would be no reinforcements. Upon his arrival, the general takes a long walk around the island and orders his soldiers to stop digging trenches on the beach. They’re all doomed, he realizes, but he also understands that strategy for the most honorable stand hinges on holding the highest ground. He oversees the construction of a complex system of pillboxes and tunnels deep inside Mount Suribachi, a process of which the viewer glimpses vir-

tually nothing. Instead, Eastwood opts for scene after scene in which young soldiers on break share stories about their lives before the war, grumble about their leaders’ judgment, make the sorts of jokes young men make and, of course, write heart-tugging letters to loved ones left behind. Much of the saga is seen through the eyes of an everyman conscript played by the pop star Kazunari Ninomiya (he’s in a boy band, I’m told). When he gets an eyeful of the vast American convoy, the viewer is likely to have mixed feelings. On one hand, he’s a sympathetic figure with little hope for survival. On the other, well, after all the small talk and heart tugging, it’s time for a little action, already. And a little action is all we get. Surprisingly, most of the movie takes place within those dark tunnels, and trails a cluster of frightened, confused soldiers as they meander from one end of the mountain to the other and, if I’m not mistaken, back again, in search of something honorable to do. The film benefits from two or three strong performances, but lacks both the scope and the visceral impact of its predecessor. The script by Paul Haggis and Iris Yamashita is likewise light on cultural insight — insight certain to have proven illuminating and timely, given Japan’s role in introducing the world to the phenomenon of the suicide bomber. The moments when events intersect with those we’ve experienced previously through American eyes are effective, but there are too few of them to save the day, and it’s a shame. Eastwood is motivated by such noble sentiment that you want him to pull this off. You root for him to craft out of all this bloody history and wasted humanity something that towers and soars. But the picture does neither. Given the director’s remarkable hot streak, Letters does the last thing one would expect: It flags.

Most disagreeable is the way the Holocaust is referenced as being somehow synonymous with the violent tribulations of the African-American, Hispanic and Asian students’ lives outside Gruwell’s unifying classroom. The story hangs on a payoff scene during a school event when Miep Gies (Pat Carroll), the woman who helped hide the Frank family, visits Gruwell’s class to answer questions and share her experiences with Anne Frank. Because we never hear Gruwell lecture on how she views a connection between the Holocaust and her students’ violent lives, the audience has little context for the pivotal scene other than to sense an abstract similarity between WWII and gang violence in Los Angeles.

LaGravenese (The Horse Whisperer) has a tendency to sanitize every scene, and when he hits the audience’s emotional sweet spot and a few tears begin to flow, you have the feeling that the release is unjustified. The film succeeds in an incidental way by raising issues, however vaguely, of how scholastic public policy conspires against all students in American public schools. But Freedom Writers is a movie that pretends to be much more than it is. There isn’t a second of immediacy in the picture, and its theatrical tone and shortcut plotting make it a blankly rewarding entertainment experience.

Letters from Iwo Jima HHH

TUNNEL VISION: A Japanese soldier goes postal in Clint Eastwood’s Letters.

lint Eastwood’s companion piece to Flags of Our Fathers has been hailed for its audacity, but the only thing really audacious about it is its concept. Portraying the same 1945 confrontation from the vantage point of the Japanese was an inspired idea. Unfortunately, the movie it inspired is something of a letdown. Flags rebutted traditional notions as to the nature of heroism, offered insight into the ways governments sell wars, and topped all that off with the most harrowing battle sequences ever committed to celluloid. Letters From Iwo Jima, on the other hand, takes nearly two and a half hours to issue the newsflash that, under our uni-

Freedom Writers HH

P

RACE COURSE: Hillary Swank plays a starryeyed teacher who preaches parallels between the Holocaust and Southern California gang life.

ositioned as a diatribe on the abysmal state of the American education system and gang violence around Long Beach, California, Freedom Writers is based on the true story of neophyte high school teacher Erin Gruwell (Hillary Swank), who broke with curriculum convention to inspire her troubled students during the mid-1990s. Writer/director Richard LaGravenese milks audience empathy with so much voice-over narration that he may as well have recorded the story as a books-ontape product. Swank’s starry-eyed character assigns her students to keep diaries about their lives, and teaches lessons about the Holocaust via The Diary of Anne Frank to give them a sense of place and decency. Compared to a film like Boyz N the Hood, this is cinema activism lite. Imelda Staunton (Vera Drake) gives an outstanding performance as the school’s status quo-keeping principal, whose privately racist agenda is eaten away at by Gruwell’s profound efforts with her class. In 1999 Erin Gruwell published the students’ work as The Freedom Writers Diary. Hillary Swank is credited as a producer, and it seems that the Oscar-winning actress chose Freedom Writers as a leading-role showcase in spite of its formulaic sappiness. Even with a nonsupportive husband (Patrick Dempsey) and rigid school board protocol, Swank’s Erin Gruwell comes off as condescending when she should be seen as a fighter. LaGravenese’s cookie-cutter screenplay, with its thinly sketched subplots that teeter toward sentimentality, doesn’t help Swank’s cherry-pie performance.

fickle fannie BY DAVID DIEFENDORF

192 College Street . Burlington . 658-6006

READ THIS FIRST: This week, as always, the things

Fannie likes (shown in CAPITAL letters) all follow a secret rule. Can you figure out what it is? NOTE: Fickle Fannie likes words. But each week she likes something different about them — how they’re spelled, how they sound, how they look, what they mean, or what’s inside them.

★

WED 1/24 & THURS 1/25

STARTING FRIDAY 1/26

Much local music and comedy lacks edge and is laced with CORN.

DREAMGIRLS

Gossip columnists are the BREAD and butter of many periodicals.

After biking cross-country six times, WILLIAM focused on ice climbing. Is God like Santa, the Easter Bunny and the TOOTH Fairy? Nobody’s HEART was kinder than that of GEORGIA BROWN. E me with your Qs or comments (dd44art@aol.com). Difficulty rating for this puzzle: EASY DOES IT. If you’re stuck, see the HINT on this page. If you cave, see the ANSWER on page 47A. So much for Fickle Fannie’s tastes this week. Next week she’ll have a whole new set of likes and dislikes.

(PG-13) 5:30 & 8 PM FICKLE FANNIE HINT: Think aspartame, e.g.

When there’s no walk but lots of TALK, it may be time to walk.

★★

(PG-13) 4, 6, 8 PM

Pesto sauce without BASIL is like vichyssoise without potatoes.

Certain kinds of PEAS and POTATOES share something in common.

Fabulous new styles arriving daily!

CODENAME: THE CLEANER

The gaydar machine lit up when Sam Champion’s SPOT came on.

A four-leaf CLOVER is not as rare as we’ve been led to believe.

ALASKA NORTHERN LIGHTS

Winter depression is a real thing, and there’s something you can do about it. These gray & dreary months affect us in many ways; our health, mood, behavior and even sleeping patterns. Light therapy can help keep our body’s internal clock in sync, so we are alert and awake in the day, and ready to sleep at night. Healthy Living sells one of the best bright light boxes made today, the North Star 10,000 bright light box that comes with a lifetime manufacturer’s warranty. Come in to take a look and ask questions. We’ll have a light box set up in our Café, weekday mornings from 8 – 10 am. Sit down, have a cup of tea and experience the benefits of light therapy! Also, stop in Thursdays & Fridays, between 8am4pm to speak with our staff member, Felicia Foster, R.N., about the benefits of light therapy.

combine chicken and beef stocks in heavy, small saucepan. boil until liquid is reduced to 1 cup, about 15 minutes. add port and boil until liquid is reduced to ¾ cup, about 15 minutes. whisk in cranberry sauce and simmer until sauce thickens slightly, about 4 minutes. whisk in 1 tablespoon butter. season sauce with salt and pepper. set aside. sprinkle pork with salt and pepper. melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter in large nonstick skillet over high heat. working in batches, add pork to skillet and cook to desired doneness, about 2 minutes per side for medium-rare. divide sauce among 4 plates. place 2 pork medallions atop sauce on each plate. i especially love this dish with mashed sweet potatoes and a green vegetable.

Prepping chefs a burlington program puts kids in the kitchen by SUZANNE PODHAIZER

ermont rabbit glazed with orange and cranberry, accompanied by pancetta-flavored polenta and wilted Swiss chard dotted with plump golden raisins. It sounds like an entrée at an upscale bistro. But this dinner wasn’t prepared by a trained chef. It’s what Tor Dworshak, 13, recently cooked up for his sisters, Charlotte and Sylvie, and his parents, Alan Dworshak and local artist Katharine Montstream. Tor Dworshak is not your average teenage boy. He watches the Food Network voraciously and pores over cookbooks. At school, he’s been known to sneak a copy of Cook’s Illustrated in front of his sheet music during band class. While a peer might blow his birthday money on

Dworshak’s foodie obsession has been fueled by Frank Pace, who has worked as executive chef at Smokejacks restaurant in Burlington. Since October, Dworshak has apprenticed in the kitchen there. Pace, 33, began working with area youth last school year after hooking up with the Burlington School Food Project and the collaborative project VT FEED — Food Education Every Day. He began by visiting Burlington schools as a guest chef.

a peer might blow his birthday money on video games or sporting equipment; dworshak picked up a $60 Wusthof paring knife. video games or sporting equipment, the Burlington eighth-grader picked up a $60 Wusthof paring knife to add to his cutlery collection.

Then he realized there was another way to work with youngsters: Bring them into the kitchen and teach them to cook. His first protégé, Hunt Middle School’s Dylan

tOR DwORSHAk cOOkINg IN SmOkEjAckS kItcHEN

O’Neil, got a paying gig at Smokejacks after his internship ended. The Burlington school system — like those of Berkeley, California, and Ithaca, New York — has put lots of work into improving cafeteria food. The Burlington School Food Project, helmed by Food Service Director Doug Davis, has been collaborating with partner farms and food-advocacy organizations to bring local produce to the schools since 2003. In 2006, according to the program’s website, the district used 650 pounds of zucchini and 50 cases of kale, most of it from Burlington’s Intervale. Last week, according to Davis, pesto pizza was on the lunch menu. The pesto was made last summer from Burlington basil, and frozen. Three and a half years ago, Davis began working with Abbie Nelson of VT FEED — a consortium of local food-related nonprofits — to bring guest chefs to the city’s two middle schools; 12- to 14-yearolds were targeted because at that age,

Nelson explains, “Kids have lots of food choices and are starting to make their own decisions.” Not many chefs stepped up to the plate. “There are people who are willing to help,” says Davis, “but we haven’t been able to connect.” “Frank leapt at the chance,” adds Nelson, who first met Pace at a Vermont Fresh Network event. In his role as guest chef, Pace dropped by each middle school once a month and helped prepare dishes full of local ingredients for the students to taste-test. The “kidapproved” selections augment the standard chicken nuggets and cheeseburgers on the lunch menu. The students’ top picks? “At most middle schools, the simpler the better,” says Pace. “It has to be like mac and cheese . . . minestrone made from the Intervale. Nothing new and exciting. Nothing gross-looking.” Students at Ed>> 0 B

munds, which is more ethnically diverse than Hunt, are a lot more willing to experiment, Pace has observed. He struggles with the knowledge that teaching kids about good food doesn’t mean they’ll find it at home. “Many don’t have the money to eat locally,� he acknowledges. Davis agrees. “For some kids,� he says, “the school lunch is the only real meal they get.� And bringing big changes to Burlington’s school cafeterias isn’t easy. “We’re trying to change food culture, which takes a lot of time and lots of partners,� says Davis. Because of these challenges, Pace began looking for new ways to help increase an appreciation for food among local youngsters. Working at Smokejacks provided plenty of opportunities. The teenage dishwashers there, Mohammed Hussin and Alier Gai, are refugees from Somalia and Sudan, respectively. “We’re training them to be chefs,� Pace says. Gai is on his way — soon he’ll be moving into the kitchen

and making salads. Pace has other ideas as well. He points out that culinary programs exist at both the Burlington and Essex tech centers. “Why aren’t we working with them?� he wonders. Pace knows he’s part of a lucky minority: His parents could afford the tuition at the San Francisco Culinary Academy, which he attended after finishing his business degree at UVM. Culinary school doesn’t come cheap — a single year at the New England Culinary Institute program costs upwards of $30,000. “It’s mostly available to the higher echelons of class,� Pace gripes. “What are we doing about other people?� He’s grateful for televised cooking shows, which have exposed kids from all social strata to a variety of cuisines and cooking techniques. “It’s easier for someone on welfare to afford cable than culinary school,� he points out. Pace hopes his work with local youth will help change attitudes about eating. “We have to start kids on whole foods. By the time they turn 15, they’re so addicted to sugar, it’s the hardest

thing to break. That’s what we’re up against — a serious addiction to fast food,â€? he says. “I want to teach them the true beauty of food. At Smokejacks, we say we work in heaven because we have access to such good ingredients. The kids we have in the kitchen taste everything: herbs, greens, fruits.â€? Dworshak, who helps with prep work at Smokejacks on Monday afternoons, has mastered empanadas, spring rolls, paella and artichoke soup. He’s currently focused on desserts — though the propane torch used to put the finish on crèmes brulĂŠes is still off-limits. In addition to his kitchen time at the restaurant, Dworshak researches famous chefs on the Internet and keeps a journal of everything he cooks. What first inspired his culinary curiosity? “He didn’t get it from me,â€? says Montstream, who jokes about the time she burned a pot of pasta. “How do you burn pasta?â€? The question is rhetorical, but her son answers anyway. “You didn’t put in enough water.â€? >

hen nutritionists declared breakfast “the most important meal of the day,” they were thinking calories, not commerce. But anyone wandering the streets of Burlington on a weekend morning has to notice the Queen City’s brisk breakfast business. Henry’s and the Oasis are slinging it, diner-style. Leunig’s and Smokejacks do brunch. But it’s Penny Cluse Café on Cherry Street where people wait up to an hour and a half, regardless of weather, to tuck into healthy a.m. innovations such as egg-and-chorizo

tacos, zydeco breakfast and tofu scram. “It’s a good model,” says chef and co-owner Charles Reeves, 40. Reeves developed the hipster breakfast menu at Boogaloos on Valencia Street in San Francisco, where he worked as cook and manager for a few years. “It’s great to have a place to go, where you can spend 10 bucks and have a quality 45 minutes,” he says. “You can’t really do that at dinner . . . Burlington was ready for our kind of breakfast when we opened.” Starving for it, actually. Now the city is ready for seconds — and so are Winooski, Montpelier and Middlebury. Penny Cluse has brought Bur-

lington’s breakfast-club culture to a point where demand exceeds supply. On the strength of its creative cuisine — and twentysomething-friendly prices — the restaurant has turned the Queen City into a bona fide breakfast town. At least one new restaurant has jumped on the bandwagon. “There are so many people who want to go to Penny Cluse, but don’t want to wait,” says July Sanders, who is co-owner of Magnolia, a new restaurant that serves breakfast and lunch downtown at One Lawson Lane. “They either go somewhere else that they don’t really want to go, or they don’t go out.” Instead, Sanders hopes they’ll

started serving . . . breakfast? Owner Tara Vaughan-Hughes inventoried the early-morning eateries and realized the town had plenty of diners and bagel joints. “I want to offer something that people can’t get anywhere else,” she says. Not without driving, anyway. Vaughan-Hughes elaborates: “Here the sun comes in the windows, you can open your laptop, have a really great latte and a fresh-squeezed orange juice. It’s gorgeous. That’s really different than sitting at a counter and ordering two eggs . . .” Breakfast has real economic advantages over lunch and

ple between 9 and 3:30. Many of them waited an hour and a half to get in the door. “People are getting used to the idea: ‘I can go out to breakfast in Montpelier; I don’t have to drive to Burlington — or Plainfield,’” Maderia says. She’s referring to River Run Restaurant, the quirky Southern-flavored eatery that 15 years ago elevated breakfast to an art form in central Vermont. Catfish, grits and fried oysters are regular items on its morning menu. Three years ago, the original restaurant expanded next door to accommodate the crowds.

check out Magnolia, which, like Penny Cluse, serves breakfast and lunch until 3. On a recent Saturday, there was no wait at the grotto-like eatery. But it was filled almost to capacity, with couples happily ensconced at tables for two and large, mostly younger parties hanging out in spacious booths. Magnolia is bigger than Penny Cluse, but it also feels more private. The Magnolia menu caters to both crispy-bacon and veggiesausage types. The “Classic” came with two eggs, sourdough toast and spicy, hand-cut home fries. The dinner-plate-sized oatmeal pancakes were surprisingly light. Fabulous fair-trade, organic coffee flowed freely throughout the meal. Magnolia isn’t open for dinner, and that’s all right with Sanders. With so many evening eating options in Burlington, she warns, “having a good product and ambiance doesn’t necessarily mean a lot of people will come to your place.” Because fewer spots serve breakfast, Sanders says, “people seek them out. In that sense, it can be more profitable.” Two Saturdays ago, the restaurant served nearly 200 meals. Eighty percent of them were breakfast. Magnolia is hoping to reach that kind of volume on weekday mornings, too, just like Penny Cluse. Reeves himself is pulling for the place. He supports other independent restaurants, even when they’re potential competitors. “When I hear that people come to Penny Cluse, get the gist and try to do it, I think that’s great,” Reeves opines. “The market is big enough for a few more kick-ass breakfast places in town.” Up the road, Winooski has a few kick-ass breakfast places of its own. Sneakers, the area’s original cool breakfast spot, still has lines out the door on Saturdays and Sundays. But the impatient — and underdressed — have had two other options for the past year. McKee’s Pub reinvents itself on Sunday morning to host brunch whipped up by a chef from the New England Culinary Institute. Over at the year-old Blue Star Café, on the same block as Sneakers, customers are coming back every weekend for stuffed French toast, crêpes, egg dishes and a house breakfast sandwich. Blue Star’s brunch business is “a huge part” of the mix, according to General Manager Ben MacIntyre. “There’s a big enough demand that we went ahead and put a breakfast sandwich on the lunch menu during the week.” The café starts cooking at 10 a.m. Could it be a coincidence that Middlebury’s Eat Good Food Grill, Bar and Deli recently discontinued dinner service and

dinner, according to VaughanHughes. Eggs are cheap and cooking times are fast. Also, breakfast eaters don’t tend to stay past closing. The downside? Getting up. Eat Good Food Grill, Bar and Deli gets cranking at 9 a.m. Vaughan-Hughes says some of her customers — a family with young kids — wished the place opened earlier. Montpelier doesn’t have the college culture of Burlington, Winooski and Middlebury. But the brand-new co-owners of Kismet are nonetheless building a booming breakfast business in the capital city. Co-owner Crystal Maderia had the Penny Cluse menu in hand when she planned a place for “people who not only eat well, but want food that is consciously sourced.” That means the ham, eggs and tempeh are local, and the Hollandaise sauce is vegan. The first day Kismet was open for breakfast, “It seemed like all we served was huevos rancheros,” says Maderia. Two Saturdays ago, they fed 110 peo-

Breakfast has a more ritualistic quality than lunch or dinner, and that “regular” business benefits breakfast spots such as River Run and Penny Cluse. When you’re choosing a dinner destination, “You’re going to hit that place maybe once a month,” says Reeves. “With breakfast it’s a thing you’re doing all the time. It’s not even a restaurant experience; you’re going to get food.” People get other things, too, while they’re “out to breakfast.” Reeves says people who hit Penny Cluse at rush hour don’t just wait outside in the cold. Rather, they add their names to the list and “have a plan” to while away the time before they’re seated. “We get a lot of people coming in while waiting for their table,” says Marc Sherman of Outdoor Gear Exchange, which is directly across the street from the restaurant. “We changed our Sunday hours pretty much because of the line at Penny Cluse.” All those tasty calories aren’t just powering people: They’re fueling the local economy. >

department. I recently checked out a few samples at their website, www.Ameranouche.com, and was enthused by their sound. The guitar playing isn’t quite up to Django’s searing standards — whose is, really? — but it does contain plenty of gusto. In addition to Django covers and their own compositions, the group delivers standards by Cole Porter, Hoagie Carmichael and George Gershwin, each re-imagined as Gypsy-jazz workouts. Sounds zippy to me.

THE BASS IS IN PLACE Bassist, bandleader and ex-Burlingtonian Rob Duguay has had his share of adventure — musically and otherwise — since splitting the Queen City a couple of years ago. Following his graduation from UVM, Duguay headed to New Orleans, where he immersed himself in the Big Easy music scene. Unfortunately, Hurricane Katrina soon sent him packing. Only he didn’t have time to pack much: Duguay was forced to abandon his instrument and all of his written compositions in the dash to avoid disaster. It didn’t take him long to get back in the groove, though. After a brief stint at his parents’ Connecticut home, Duguay entered New Jersey’s William Patterson University, where he’s currently completing his Master’s degree in Jazz Bass Performance. “It’s an excellent program,” Duguay recently told me. “I got resettled really quickly, and I must commend William Patterson for what they did for me.” Between studies with bass maestro Marcus McLaurine and ensemble investigations with Mulgrew Miller and Vincent Herring, Duguay somehow finds time to gig. “I’ve been performing in [New York City] quite a bit, as well as New Jersey,” he reports. “And last summer, I lived in Washington, D.C. I played a lot of the clubs and made a lot of connections down there.” Duguay will wrap up his official studies this spring, and he’s currently pondering his next move. “I’ve got an international business degree from UVM, and will have a Master’s degree in music — it’d be my ultimate goal to combine them,” he says. “Maybe I can get in the creative side of business.” Parents often tell artistic children to make sure they have something to fall back on. Duguay’s folks must be psyched. The bass whiz will be in Vermont for two performances this week: a late night set at Radio Bean on Friday, January 26, and Parima the following evening. Accompanying him are two talented musicians, including drummer Geza Carr — already a star in the area jazz scene — and saxophonist Dave Schnug, who also attends WPU. The shows will feature original Duguay compositions as well as “new outlooks on jazz standards.” He claims his new music is “an amalgamation of lots of things,” including swing and Latin styles. “My current stuff is more harmonically advanced than it was before,” Duguay relates. “It focuses on more than just rhythm.” Although he won’t have much time to rehearse with Carr, Duguay is confident in his ability to keep up. “Geza can read any chart I put in front of him,” he says. “And if I sat down at the piano and played my songs for him, he’d get it in a second.” It’s nice to have friends you can count on.

I recently sampled a handful of songs at www.MySpace.com/ BostonAfrobeat, and was impressed by the group’s naturalistic feel for the genre. Afrobeat is tricky to get right — its unfolding arrangements often stretch past the 10-minute mark, testing the endurance of even seasoned players. And simply “jamming” won’t cut it; Afrobeat is packed with detailed horn arrangements and intricate rhythmic cues. When performed by appropriately soulful musicians, it sounds majestic and organic. TBAS came together in 2005 and have since built up quite the reputation in their hometown. Praised by local music rags and DJs, they’re now primed to take their music to wider audiences. They won’t be depleting any resources to get there: The band recently entered a partnership with Boston’s Green Grease Monkeys, an organization that converts diesel engines to run on veggie oil. Now they’ve got themselves an eco-friendly Afrobeat school bus. Bet that’ll look sweet parked outside of Nectar’s.

This Friday, Higher Ground and 104.7 The Point bring Texan guitar legend Johnny Winter to town for an evening of blistering blues. Winter, who was signed by Columbia Records way back in 1969, helped bridge the gap between the heavy electric sounds popularized by Englishmen Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page, and Southern-fried porch blues. Instantly recognizable by his snow-white hair and extensive tattoos, Winter is a truly an icon. He jammed with B.B. King at the tender age of 17, and enjoyed a close personal and professional relationship with the late Muddy Waters. Not bad for a scrawny albino kid from the wrong side of Beaumont. Although trends have come and gone since he first appeared on the scene, Winter has always stuck to his musical guns. His creed is best summed up by the title of his most recent Grammy-nominated album, I’m a Bluesman. Opening for Winter are local heroes the Nobby Reed Project, who’ve been belting the blues for more than a decade. Visit www.HigherGroundMusic.com for further details.

DJANGO’S DISCIPLES Ameranouche are a nationally acclaimed Gypsy-jazz trio based in southern New Hampshire. They’ll make their first central Vermont appearance at Montpelier’s Langdon Street Café this Saturday. The band performs manouche jazz, a style popularized by the late sixstring wizard Django Reinhardt, whose impassioned licks still sound incredibly fresh. Also known as “acoustic hot jazz,” the genre is noted for its technical virtuosity and liveliness. Ameranouche don’t disappoint in either

NOT THE SAME OLD TOWN:: “Classic rock for the future” is how Massachusetts-based quartet Township describe their sound. It’s a spot-on assessment, as their music takes hook-laden, ’70s-style power pop into uncharted territory. Fronted by Marc Pinanski of Boston garage-rockers Runner & the Thermodynamics, Township fuses sugary melodies with prog-rock textures and grooves. Drummer Greg Beadle likely has a hand in the latter — he was once the skins-pounder for Burlington’s knotty instrumental trio Cancer Conspiracy. Don’t miss Beadle’s new crew this Thursday at Club Metronome with local faves Swale and Carrigan.

SEVEN DAYS | january 24-31, 2007 | music 15B

reviewthis FORREST MULERATH /LITTLE WOODEN MEN & WOMEN, SONGS OF PRAISE & JOY (Self-released, CD) Vermont songsmith Forrest Mulerath seems like the kind of guy who’s more comfortable in the woods than on the streets. He and his loose assembly of musician pals recorded Songs of Praise & Joy “in a tiny house that sits along the Mad River in Moretown,” according to the album’s liner notes. Then again, “liner notes” might not be the right words to describe blue construction paper sprinkled with craft-store glitter. The disc’s homemade packaging perfectly illustrates the group’s overall aesthetic. It’s clear from opening cut, “First Birth,” — which is built on celestial drone, fingerpicked guitar and what sounds like a gurgling brook — that this is not your average indie-pop release. Mulerath and co. bear some similarities to such freaky acts as Animal Collective and Akron/Family. There’s an amorphous quality to many of the songs — they start in one spot and just kind of wind up somewhere of their own haphazard accord. The vocals take some getting used to, however. Mulerath sings in a quavering baritone that ignores common rules of key and pitch. Then there’s his bizarre lyrics, which are equal parts engaging and off-putting. “Undressing yourself in the middle of town / Feels so right / Spitting your food out / Into your mother’s eyes,” he sings on “Praise for Infant Joy.” Beauty and ugliness are compatriots on this record. The former gets its due on the gorgeous “Don’t Wake the Purring Kitty,” which features exquisite cello and lovely piano melodies. When a march-style snare drum appears mid-song, it becomes almost aristocratic. On “The Businessman,” Mulerath sings in a low-toned croon about the mercilessness of progress. Packed with a small orchestra of instruments, including banjo, xylophone and thunderous percussion, the song feels utterly claustrophobic. Such dense layering nicely complements the urgent, accusatory vocals. Equally dark is “Walk Into the Woods and Stay There,” in which everything but a frenzied, strummed guitar is blurred into a charcoal smudge of sound. That is, until the tune’s unexpectedly delicate finale. “Super Jesus Sunshine Songs” is a group-oriented spiritual, the kind of thing they might’ve sung at the Jonestown compound before the beverage cart arrived. “I wanna stay here forever,” the band intones, choralstyle. It’s every bit as creepy as you might imagine. Songs of Praise & Joy is one of the strangest — and most strangely compelling — local discs I’ve heard in some time. If you feel like tracking it down, head to www.LittleWoodenMen.org. Or maybe just send a smoke signal. CASEY REA

SPENCER LEWIS, GREEN MOUNTAIN SUITE (Quartz Recordings, CD)

Local musician Spencer Lewis is the king of pastoral acoustic guitar. His playing is buttery and articulate, full of spacious melodies and possessed of a contemplative disposition. He’s also a fine violinist who often colors his recordings with elegant string arrangements. Lewis’ latest, Green Mountain Suite, is a picture-postcard of an album that conjures images of covered bridges and freshly tapped maple trees. I’ve always gone back and forth with this kind of stuff. Much of the time, I find it schmaltzy and more than a little insincere. Still, I’m perfectly susceptible to the bucolic charms of a few well-played acoustic arpeggios. Call it the Brokeback soundtrack syndrome. Lewis’ compositions sometimes win me over despite their sentimentality. He’s committed to crafting serene music, and it helps that he’s got a strong ear for melody. But too many of his tunes are the musical equivalent of a Bob Ross landscape painting. Opener “Ballad of Tom French” features several irritating clichés, including monumental snare hits, gurgling organ pads and wide-open strums. The song plays like an ad for a geriatric supplement. You can practically hear the voiceover: “Ask your doctor if Green Mountain Suite is right for you.” Things improve with “Home Inside,” a chugging yet delicate number with a few choice melodies. Better still is “June,” which brings back the organ and augments it with some dignified violin lines. “Tinmouth” is comforting in its simplicity, with homespun picking and lovely guitar trills. Lewis has a knack for weaving multiple melodic passages into a seamless, if soporific, whole. By the time “Suite — 2nd Movement” rolls around, you might experience an affability overdose. There’s only so much meditative mood music a body can handle. Well, this body, anyway. Still, there’s some engaging stuff on the disc’s second half. “Balance” features crafty percussion and thoughtful harmonies, while “Original Suite” sounds like it was played from atop a majestic mountain peak. I’m thinking Camel’s Hump. The disc closes with “Requiem,” which must be the ten-thousandth piece of music to bear that title. Like many of the tunes on the album, it features sumptuous strings and reflective guitars. If you own a small business that caters to tourist fantasies of Vermont, you might want to play this disc during peak season. Otherwise, enjoy Green Mountain Suite with the understanding that not everything about the state is as pretty as Lewis’ songs. CASEY REA

Friday 26

swamp fever If some celestial maestro were to cook up a gumbo soundscape blending the best of bayou music, it might sound something like the “Louisiana Keyboard Commotion.” The show melds accordion-savvy Buckwheat Zydeco’s soulful Creole numbers with honky-tonk boogie pounded out by piano queen Marcia Ball, and it promises a Mardi Gras party from two of America’s contemporary regionalmusic powerhouses. Ball, who hails from the Texas-Louisiana border, offers rollicking roadhouse blues and honkytonk. Buckwheat Zydeco combines original tunes with inventive covers from the musical genre in which he has literally made his name. Put ’em together, and laissez les bons temps rouler! Buckwheat Zydeco & Marcia Ball

scene@ PAPER MANAGEMENT WORKSHOP

THURSDAY, JANUARY 18, SOUTH BURLINGTON COMMUNITY LIBRARY, 7 P.M.

photo: JORDAN SILVERMAN

Professional organizer Julie Cubino specializes in helping severely disorganized people. During her paper-management workshop last Thursday, I realized that I’m her ideal client. I reached this conclusion shortly after the perky paper coach began her hour-and-ahalf-long, free presentation. She started by telling her dozen listeners about techniques people use to cover up their messiness. “Let’s talk about stashing,” she said, sounding like a dental hygienist launching into a discussion about plaque. Cubino then described a visit to a client’s house. The place looked spotless, but the woman insisted she had a problem. Turns out every time the client cleaned, she shoved piles of unsorted papers into bags, which she stashed throughout the house. Wow, I thought, that sounds familiar. And that was just the beginning. Apparently I’m also guilty of “neatening” — straightening piles of papers on my desk to make them look neat rather than filing them. And I’m a frequent practitioner of the “flip and hide” — making to-do lists that disappear when I flip the page on my legal pad. Even worse, I don’t have a “time holder,” i.e., a datebook or PDA. I also own several “mystery boxes,” left over from my college years and my nomadic early twenties, boxes I haven’t sorted through in a decade. I felt a twinge of guilt when Cubino held up a prop — a tiny, bloated plastic puffer fish. “If your system looks like it’s going to pop,” she said, “you need to do something about it.” My system popped a long time ago, I thought. Cubino offered a variety of tips to help us keep our personal puffer fishes from exploding. Basically, I learned that I need to “make a commitment” to each piece of paper in my life. I should throw it away, delegate it, act on it, or store it. She also emphasized that each storage system is unique. Cubino met one woman who stored her paper in ceramic bowls. “That’s fine,” she said. “Be off the wall. As long as you can find things again.” CATHY RESMER

dust bowl me over Contemporary listeners may question the rosy lyrics of “This Land Is Your Land,” but American music hero Woody Guthrie wrote it in 1940 as a socialist protest song rather than a paean. The Vermont Stage Company brings the gritty, guitar-toting Okie to life in a tune-laden tribute to his legacy of songs for and about common folks — that is, folk music. Headed by musical director Patti Casey of the Bluegrass Gospel Project, the five-member cast includes Chrome Cowboys front man Brett Hughes and Hardwick-based puppeteer Chuck Meese (both pictured). The play consists of Guthrie’s actual words, and the various actors take turns as migrant workers, hoboes and street performers who embody his musical mission to uplift the downtrodden. Hear, hear. ‘Woody Guthrie’s American Song’

horn of plenty Giuseppe Verdi wasn’t happy with the original version of his 1862 La Forza del Destino, a bloodier-than-average opera in which many of the main characters die as the result of a curse. When he revisited it seven years later, he added an overture that pleasantly tempers the doom and gloom. The Vermont Youth Orchestra takes Verdi’s lyrical contemplation of fate as the theme of its winter concert, titled “The Force of Destiny.” Other works on the program include Tchaikovsky’s impressive Fourth Symphony and a challenging trombone concerto that the Danish conductor and composer Launy Grøndahl wrote in 1924 during a visit to Verdi’s stomping grounds.

COURTESY OF THE VERMONT HISTORICAL SOCIETY

raising objections During World War II, conscientious objectors who convinced their draft boards that they were religiously or ethically bound to abstain from fighting still had to complete a tour of duty. Quakers, Mennonites and members of other “peace churches” worked with the Selective Service to create a national program called the Civilian Public Service, a positive, work-based alternative to prison. By the time the war ended, a total of 43 COs — some of whom are pictured here at an off-duty picnic — had moved to Vermont to patrol wards at the Brattleboro Retreat and test dairy herds for diseases. Burlington College Academic Dean Michael Sherman shares the results of oral-history interviews conducted since 1993 with CPS vets who served in Vermont. Research-in-Progress Lecture

scene@ PAPER-MANAGEMENT WORKSHOP

THURSDAY, JANUARY 18, SOUTH BURLINGTON COMMUNITY LIBRARY, 7 P.M.

photo: JoRDAN SILVERMAN

Professional organizer Julie Cubino specializes in helping severely disorganized people. During her paper-management workshop last Thursday, I realized that I’m her ideal client. I reached this conclusion shortly after the perky paper coach began her hour-and-ahalf-long, free presentation. She started by telling her dozen listeners about techniques people use to cover up their messiness. “Let’s talk about stashing,� she said, sounding like a dental hygienist launching into a discussion about plaque. Cubino then described a visit to a client’s house. The place looked spotless, but the woman insisted she had a problem. Turns out every time the client cleaned, she shoved piles of unsorted papers into bags, which she stashed throughout the house. Wow, I thought, that sounds familiar. And that was just the beginning. Apparently I’m also guilty of “neatening� — straightening piles of papers on my desk to make them look neat, rather than filing them. And I’m a frequent practitioner of the “flip and hide� — making to-do lists that disappear when I flip the page on my legal pad. Even worse, I don’t have a “time holder,� i.e., a datebook or PDA. I also own several “mystery boxes,� left over from my college years and my nomadic early twenties, boxes I haven’t sorted through in a decade. I felt a twinge of guilt when Cubino held up a prop — a tiny, bloated plastic puffer fish. “If your system looks like it’s going to pop,� she said, “you need to do something about it.� My system popped a long time ago, I thought. Cubino offered a variety of tips to help us keep our personal puffer fishes from exploding. Basically, I learned that I need to “make a commitment� to each piece of paper in my life. I should throw it away, delegate it, act on it, or store it. She also emphasized that each storage system is unique. Cubino met one woman who stored her paper in ceramic bowls. “That’s fine,� she said. “Be off the wall. As long as you can find things again.� CATHY RESMER

duST BOWL ME OVER Contemporary listeners may question the rosy lyrics of “This Land Is Your Land,� but American music hero Woody Guthrie wrote it in 1940 as a socialist protest song rather than a paean. The Vermont Stage Company brings the gritty, guitar-toting Okie to life in a tune-laden tribute to his legacy of songs for and about common folks — that is, folk music. Headed by musical director Patti Casey of the Bluegrass Gospel Project, the five-member cast includes Chrome Cowboys front man Brett Hughes and Hardwick-based puppeteer Chuck Meese (both pictured). The play consists of Guthrie’s actual words, and the various actors take turns as migrant workers, hoboes and street performers who embody his musical mission to uplift the downtrodden. Hear, hear.

HORN OF PLENTY Giuseppe Verdi wasn’t happy with the original version of his 1862 La Forza del Destino, a bloodier-than-average opera in which many of the main characters die as the result of a curse. When he revisited it seven years later, he added an overture that pleasantly tempers the doom and gloom. The Vermont Youth Orchestra takes Verdi’s lyrical contemplation of fate as the theme of its winter concert, titled “The Force of Destiny.” Other works on the program include Tchaikovsky’s impressive Fourth Symphony and a challenging trombone concerto that the Danish conductor and composer Launy Grøndahl wrote in 1924 during a visit to Verdi’s stomping grounds. The principal trombonist with the Montréal Symphony, James Box, solos.

During World War II, conscientious objectors who convinced their draft boards that they were religiously or ethically bound to abstain from fighting still had to complete a tour of duty. Quakers, Mennonites and members of other “peace churches� worked with the Selective Service to create a national program called the Civilian Public Service, a positive, work-based alternative to prison. By the time the war ended, a total of 43 COs — some of whom are pictured here at an off-duty picnic — had moved to Vermont to patrol wards at the Brattleboro Retreat and test dairy herds for diseases. Burlington College Academic Dean Michael Sherman shares the results of oral-history interviews conducted since 1993 with CPS vets who served in Vermont.

Mistress

Maeve

Your Gracious Guide to Love & Lust! Dear Mistress Maeve, I have recently begun having an affair with a married woman. She has had other affairs with women, which her husband knows about. She wants to be open with him about our relationship so that she doesn’t have to “juggle” in secret. We have talked about their relationship, and it is solid. They have great communication, and more importantly, they are in love. I have never been in a polyamorous relationship, and the thought of not having to hide is very intriguing. There are emotions involved with her and me; it’s not just about the sex. What kind of support and resources are out there to educate myself in regards to situations such as this? Best Regards, Pollyanna Dear Pollyanna, I’m hearing a lot about what your lover wants, but not a whole lot about how you feel. I’m sure the idea of not hiding your relationship makes you feel relieved and more validated as a lover, but what about the idea of sharing the woman you care about with another person? You’ve hit the nail on the head: If the husband is made aware of your relationship and accepts it, you’ll be moving from an affair to a veestyle polyamorous relationship — meaning that the three of you will enter into a relationship of sorts, even though you may not be involved with the husband sexually. Polyamory has been around since the dawn of time, and it just works better for people who feel too constrained by monogamy. That said, polyamory is not for the faint of heart. Being emotionally and sexually invested in more than one person at a time takes a great deal of care and integrity — something your girlfriend has not shown she has thus far by sneaking around behind her husband’s back with you. You say that their relationship has great communication, but how can that be so if she’s hiding an affair? If the idea of polyamory is appealing to you as a life choice, you should pursue it. And I highly suggest picking up The Ethical Slut: A Guide to Infinite Sexual Possibilities. Authors Dossie Easton and Catherine A. Liszt outline polyamory best practices in this must-have guide for first-time poly participants. On the other hand, if you’re only entertaining this idea because you’re smitten with this woman and you’re ignoring your own wishes, you need to wake up and do some soul searching. Are you willing to accept that your lover will need to split her time and affection equally between you and her husband? How will you feel in your bed alone when you know she’s with him? Sometimes what we have to give up in order to get what we want is more precious than the prize.

XOXO,

MM
