“SOUNDBITE” HURTS It is a disappointment that while Dan Bolles couldn’t spare any column space to raise awareness of the Magnetix show on November 11 — how often does a punk band from Bordeaux, France, play Burlington? And for free, no less? — he saw fit to waste some of that same precious space to make an irrelevant dig at the Fatal Flaws in his December 12 “Soundbites.” Good thing he’s gone on record saying he bears the Fatal Flaws no ill will. Mr. Bolles apparently misunderstands who his critics are: The Fatal Flaws, as a band, have never commented in the public forum about Seven Days or any of its writers. The two undersigned members (who play in other bands, yet to be maligned) have individually written letters to the paper’s editor voicing their grievances, but they never claimed to speak for the band as a whole. Mr. Bolles has provided us with another example of the same half-assed journalism that prompted the initial complaints. Perhaps we should expect no better from the author of such howlers as “the event is still gathering its feet” (Solid State blahg, Nov. 16)?

This Friday, Burlingtonâ€™s Firehouse Gallery hosts an event that proves the laws of physics also apply to storytelling. From powerful events come transformative stories. When the event is a nuclear explosion, like the one that occurred at Chernobyl on April 26, 1986, this is the kind of testimony you get: Colonel Yaroshuk is dying now. Heâ€™s a chemist-dosimetrist. He was healthy as a bull. Now heâ€™s lying paralyzed. His wife turns him over like a pillow. She feeds him from a spoon. And: One day I walk into the hallway and tell the nurse, â€œHeâ€™s dying.â€? The nurse says, â€œWhat did you expect? Heâ€™s got 1600 roentgen. Four hundred is a lethal dose. Heâ€™s a nuclear reactor.â€? These vignettes and others make up an hour-long â€œreadersâ€™ theaterâ€? play based on the 2005 National Book Critics Circle Award winner Voices From Chernobyl: The Oral History of a Nuclear Disaster by Ukrainian journalist Svetlana Alexievich. Six readers will perform the play, with narration by former Vermont Governor Madeleine Kunin. Spencer Smith, 69, a Burlington-based writer who has taught at Burlington College and other schools, adapted Voices from Alexievichâ€™s book. Smith witnessed the tragic long-term effects of radiation poisoning while teaching with the Peace Corps in the Ukraine from 2001 to 2003, but it wasnâ€™t until a second visit in 2006 that she read the newly translated Voices From Chernobyl and decided to write a play in support of the antinuclear campaign. â€œThere are those of us who chain themselves to the fence and those of us who write editorials,â€? she explains. Smith will soon return to the site of her inspiration as a Fulbright Scholar, teaching creative writing and academic research methods at Belarus State

University in Minsk. The Chernobyl incident may seem a world away, in both time and space, but Smith says radiation seeps through those barriers. â€œThe real awful thing about radiation,â€? she asserts, â€œis that once it has infected the gene pool, it gets transmitted down through the generations.â€? It spreads in other ways, too. Smith points out that strontium90, a radioactive isotope, was found in the milk of Vermont cows after the disaster. â€œAnd thatâ€™s the thing with any of these incidents,â€? she says, â€œthe radiation goes into the jet stream and it goes around the world.â€? Smith first presented the play last April in Montpelier and Brattleboro, both to commemorate the 21st anniversary of the Chernobyl explosion and to remind Vermonters of our nearest nuclear reactor, Vermont Yankee. â€œWhat we found was that people were just blown away. The words are so strong that people were speechless afterwards â€” itâ€™s just such incredible material,â€? she says. Culled from the bookâ€™s many monologues, that material gives voice to a wide spectrum of the Ukrainian and Belorussian popu-

lation, from an illiterate peasant woman who thinks the Chernobyl disaster was â€œmade up,â€? to three men with scientific training who know just how real it was. Smith has interwoven the stories of these disparate people to add drama to their testimony. The readers â€” a group of central Vermonters including Ben Scotch, the former head of the Vermont ACLU â€” will be dressed in black and speak from a raised podium. Smith hopes these sad, sometimes darkly humorous tales remind us of the awful capability of nuclear power gone wrong. But even when a plant is functioning properly, she adds, it releases dangerous radioactive elements into the air. She notes that Windham County, where Vermont Yankee is located, has the stateâ€™s highest death rate for people under 35. â€œEven if thereâ€™s no explosion at Vermont Yankee,â€? Smith warns, â€œevery day theyâ€™re releasing this toxic stuff into the air, and you basically have a nuclear bomb thatâ€™s controlled.â€? > â€œVoices From Chernobylâ€? will be performed on Friday, January 11, at the Firehouse Gallery in Burlington at 7:30 p.m. For info, call 540-0002 or 862-4929.

FILM

Human Rights Film Fest Gets the Big Picture BY MARGOT HARRISON

Last weekend, Waitsfieldâ€™s Big Picture Theatre screened ski movies â€” from Warren Millerâ€™s Cold Fusion to Ski School 2. This weekend it welcomes Amy Goodman, the host of â€œDemocracy Now!â€? Part firstrun movie theater, part ski-town hangout and part community gathering place, the venue owned by Claudia Becker is a typical Vermont study in contrasts. This week it opens itself to the world with the fifth annual Mountaintop Human Rights Film Festival, which Becker directs. In the past, the festival has hosted Hollywood director Mario van Peebles, Sen. Bernie Sanders and Ralph Nader, the last via webcam. This time, Goodman will discuss democracy â€œin the context of the war,â€? in keeping with the festivalâ€™s focus this year of â€œexpanding human rights to the concept of democracy around the world,â€? says festival manager Kimberley Ead.

1/7/08 4:30:03 PM

The organizers hope to give Vermonters â€œa view of the different ways people have power in their countries.â€? Most of the films at Mountaintop come from the â€œWhy Democracy?â€? series commissioned by a group of BBC journalists to â€œstimulate a global debate about democracy,â€? in the words of Project Organizer Nick Fraser. Two of them have been short-listed for the Academy Awards: Please Vote for Me, in which democracy gets a trial run in a Chinese elementaryschool classroom; and Taxi to the Dark Side, which uses the case of an Afghan cabbie who died in U.S. custody to ask whether â€œterrorism can destroy democracy.â€? The fest also will run the documentaries Occupation 101 and Democracy in Dakar and the Iraq home-front drama In the Valley of Elah. A short film called â€œDeserterâ€? will be accompanied by

webcam interviews with real U.S. Army deserters. The festival and Green Mountain Global Forum are cosponsoring a Sunday evening talk by University of Texas journalism professor Robert Jensen, author of The Heart of Whiteness and Writing Dissent. A Saturday afternoon Democracy Fair, with reps of local organizations, ups the activist ante. Ead says the film festival draws more than 1000 people each year. Waitsfield is no Park City or Telluride, but thatâ€™s still quite a crowd for a small ski town. â€œVermonters are really looking for something to put their creative energy into,â€? she notes, â€œand we provide it to them.â€? > The Mountaintop Film Festival runs from Wednesday, January 9, to Sunday, January 13, at the Big Picture Theatre, Waitsfield. $8 per ticket, $6 for students.

Between Soft Machines and Hard Science: The Interstitial Art of W. David Powell

INTERNET

Artist W. David Powellâ€™s installation of his digital prints alongside historic scientific instruments reflects his fascination with how the human body and mind interact, and the ways that art and science can clarify or confuse that understanding.

A Gallerist Blogs for Virtual, and Real, Community BY MATT SCANLON PHOTO: JORDAN SILVERMAN

According to the search engine Technorati, 115 million blogs were in use as of December 2007. For anyone who has spent time looking at random samples of the bloggersâ€™ art, sifting the wheat from the chaff is a task filled with both epiphany and horror. Recently Liza Cowan, owner of Pine Street Art Works in Burlington, jumped into the fray with her own art- and community-oriented blog, See Saw (www.seesaw. typepad.com). Whatâ€™s most compelling about the medium to her is its extraordinary potential to foster communities, as reflected in See Sawâ€™s ambitious mission: unite â€œart, collecting, advertising, retail, architecture, products and people.â€? â€œIt is kind of a mouthful, isnâ€™t it?â€? Cowan comments with a laugh as she gestures at samples of the photographs, paintings, furniture and cultural artifacts in the former Fuller Brush factory she converted into a gallery two years ago. â€œBut as you can see,â€? she notes, â€œmy tastes do tend to meander. Iâ€™ve been a designer, photographer, a radio producer, worked in advertising . . . [and] completed coursework for an anthropology PhD. A little of all of those interests is here.â€? One of her first entries in See Saw is a tribute to illustrator Mary Louise Spoor (1887-1985), because she was so struck by the uncluttered, Japanese-style inspiration in Spoorâ€™s chromolithograph trade cards and other advertising illustrations. Cowan is quick to mention that without the blogosphere, featuring this prolific artistâ€™s work would have been a lot tougher. â€œIn a few hours of research, I was able to trace [Spoorâ€™s] lineage to the Essany movie studio in Chicago that her brother operated, which led me to information about her extended family, and finally to her grandson. I was then able to contact him. None of that would have been possible without the blog world,â€? Cowan says. â€œAnd, because of my site and blog, he could vet me and determine if I was a nut or someone he should consider replying to.â€?

the

lotus shop 197 College Street

Iâ€™m interested in how retail can better serve the community itâ€™s in . . . to actually help create that community. LIZA COWAN As an interactive and more adaptable extension of her galleryâ€™s website (www.pinestreetartworks.com), See Saw will feature write-ups of artists on display. But Cowan, a former New Yorker who moved to Burlington in 2001, is equally interested in how art space and/or retail business creation can foster community growth â€” or hinder it. â€œPeople just shop differently here,â€? she explains. â€œYankee thrift is a large factor in Burlington.

People are cautious about spending money, as opposed to [in] New York, where shopping is a contact sport. Iâ€™m interested in â€” from methods of display to content to store-frontage â€” how retail can better serve the community itâ€™s in . . . to actually help create that community. And, as long as the blog is as much a resource for artists as it is for locals to get a sense of what makes Burlington unique,â€? she concludes, â€œIâ€™ll be satisfied.â€? >

Âťvignette Survey says . . . 85 percent of Burlingtonians have run across the homegrown game show â€œSurvey Saysâ€? on Vermont Community Access Media (Channel 15) sometime during its nine-year run. OK, thatâ€™s not a real stat. But â€œWe get a lot of feedback,â€? says 34year-old Jamie Polli, who produces and hosts this â€œFamily Feudâ€?-style showdown with contestants recruited from local companies. He may get more after â€œSurvey Saysâ€? films its last episode, live from the VCAM studio on January 20. Polli has decided to pack it in after 160 shows featuring 1121 contestants, including local celebs such as Wild Bill Sargent of WOKO and former Burlington Mayor Peter Clavelle. Though the young host perfected his patter over the showâ€™s run â€” and did a stint as a page for big-time CBS game shows in 2000 â€” he has no plans to conquer Hollywood. Polli, whose day job is marketing coordinator of the University Mall, is ending the show so he can spend more time with his 2-year-old daughter and promote

his sideline biz: creating â€œcorporate gigs, game shows for team building.â€? Polli points out that â€œSurvey Saysâ€? was already a team-building exercise of sorts, pitting coworkers against each other as they tried to suss out how local folks would answer a survey question. What surprised them, he said, was to learn how many friends and neighbors had seen them on-screen. â€œThe contestants donâ€™t expect anyone to watch,â€? he says. â€œThen they come back to me and say, â€˜Oh, my God, I canâ€™t believe how many people saw that show.â€™â€? The live episode of â€œSurvey Saysâ€? airs on Channel 15, Sunday at 7 p.m., with reruns on Tuesday at 5 p.m. and Saturday at 10 a.m. Upcoming teams include Libbyâ€™s Diner and the Winooski Fire Department; the January 20 final episode features clips and bloopers from the showâ€™s run.

Curses, Foiled Again Two men

tried to carjack a vehicle at gunpoint in Reno, Nev., but the driver grabbed the gun, causing it to fire in the air. Both suspects ran off. The Reno-Gazette journal reported that a police officer responding to the scene spotted one of them and chased him into a building and onto a just-poured concrete floor. Construction workers nabbed Rudy Aguas, 25. • Police investigating a break-in at a tire store in Coquille, Ore., concluded that the burglar tunneled under a wall to access the building but was unable to remove anything because the tires, all for trucks, were too big to fit through the hole.

None of the money has gone to any of the founders, Moore told the Chicago Sun Times. “We’re donors just like the other male members. We work full-time jobs and do this as a public service.”

Despite the endless news stories about the ‘Mortgage Crisis’ conventional fixed rates have been slowly but steadily declining in recent weeks. From a high of around 6.875% percent in June, rates have decreased to approximately 5.875-6.125% for a 30-year fixed Store Hours: Mon-Fri, 9-5 | Sat 10-6 | Sun and evenings by appointment 0 point loan. How can this be with 65 Falls Road, Shelburne Village | 985-8009 all of the talk about interest rates spiking and credit tightening? Simply put, it is only ‘unconventional’ loans that have been affected by the 2x3-inkink010908.indd 1 1/7/08 recent upheaval. However, if you can document income, have decent credit and are looking to borrow below the conventional limit of 417k, mortgage money is widely available and rates are down. So when does it make sense to refinance? If you have an adjustable rate mortgage or need cash for debt consolidation, college education or home improvement, now may be a good time. You should also consider refinancing if you have a home equity loan or line of credit. The prime rate is currently at 7.25% and, in many cases, the rates on home equity loans may be even higher. What about the costs to refinance? If the cost to refinance is zero, as it is with a true no-cost refinance program, than refinancing, even if you recently purchased your home, makes sense as long as the new rate is lower than your current ‘blended’ rate (the rate that includes your mortgage, home equity and any other debt being paid off). Furthermore, if rates drop after you close, you can simply refinance again with no closing costs. The only downside of the no cost refinance is that you will pay a slightly higher rate than if you pay closing costs to refinance.

ALL WORTHWHILE HUMAN KNOWLEDGE

("# ) & "#$

Dear Cecil, Iâ€™ve got a friend Iâ€™m concerned about: she seems to have gone insane, spouting something about a peaceful, goddessworshipping matriarchy that ruled the Earth for 25,000 years until Evil Patriarchal Religion rose up and conquered the planet. Was there ever such a matriarchal culture, or have men always been in charge? Stephen Morgan

ILLUSTRATION: SLUG SIGNORINO

For a while now sociologists, historians, anthropologists and others have wrestled with a tricky question: If thereâ€™s no built-in inequality between the sexes, as Iâ€™d hope most of us believe, why is it that in nearly all the societies on record the men seem to have been running things? In the ensuing effort to show that male domination of women isnâ€™t inevitable, many have looked hard for counterexamples, often coming up with results whether or not the available data complied. J.J. Bachofen, a Swiss jurist turned classicist, kickstarted the ancient matriarchy theory with his influential 1861 volume Das Mutterrecht (Mother-Right). Based on his reading of mythology, he hypothesized that a peaceful, female-led agrarian culture had once prevailed in Europe and the Near East until the rise of militarism opened the door to a male takeover. This struck a chord with the eraâ€™s intellectuals: Soon American feminist Elizabeth Cady Stanton was writing of a pre-Christian â€œmatriarchate,â€? while Friedrich Engels suggested that matriarchal culture was brought down by the capitalist evils of private property and slavery. As the discipline of anthropology grew up, Bachofenâ€™s methods and assumptions were largely discredited and the matriarchy idea was abandoned by many mainstream thinkers. But that didnâ€™t stop certain enthusiastic proponents. In 1971, for instance, librarian Elizabeth Gould Davis published The First Sex, wherein she mused about an enlightened female-dominated culture in ancient Antarctica. (It was a lot warmer then, she explained.) Subsequent advocates have elevated the notion into a kind of new-age religion, looking back to a time when women ruled nations of happy folk living in harmony with nature, free from war and sexual violence, and focused on intellectual and artistic pursuits. Clearly a setup many could get behind, and possibly the kind of thing your friendâ€™s been reading about. But is there evidence that any of this existed? The female statuettes known as Venus figurines, created 20 to 30 millennia ago and found throughout Europe, are often held up as a sign of goddess worship and a female-oriented culture, and itâ€™s true that contemporary depictions of males are much rarer. Many prehistoric excavations â€” notably at Ă‡atalhĂśyĂźk in Turkey, but also in Crete, Malta and elsewhere â€” include burial sites that seem to honor older women of high social stature, and prehistoric artwork is full of curves and whorls that can easily be interpreted as vulvas, breasts, the moon, etc. The respected archeologist Marija Gimbutas, for one, has argued that a matriarchal society flourished from about 8000 to 3000 BC in southeastern Europe and Turkey; it ended, she postulates, with the invasion of the Kurgan warrior band from eastern Ukraine.

Needless to say, other experts have some real problems with such conclusions. First, itâ€™s impossible to say with much reliability what the artifacts meant to their creators â€” itâ€™s a pretty big jump from female figurines to goddess worship. Beyond that, historian Gerda Lerner points out in The Creation of Patriarchy (1986), symbolic idolatry of women and maledominated society are far from mutually exclusive â€” think, e.g., of the omnipresent images of the Virgin Mary in medieval Europe. No surviving relics or writings refer directly to the matriarchy Gimbutas describes; in fact, the oldest writings from the region indicate that goddess worship was common but also that women were second-class citizens. Lerner, like numerous others, sees no evidence for there having been a culture in which women truly dominated and men were subordinate. She believes that early hunter-gatherer societies were essentially egalitarian, with men and women fulfilling distinct, complementary roles of equal perceived value and worshipping goddesses as representative of womenâ€™s reproductive power. With the shift to agriculture seemingly came increased male control over the public sphere and ultimately the subordination of female deities: Typically they were recast as the consorts or mothers of male gods, then absorbed into a coed but male-controlled pantheon. The larger point, of course, is that if youâ€™re looking to demonstrate that a nonpatriarchal society is possible, digging for examples of past matriarchies is something of a suckerâ€™s game, and not just because they may not be there. Making matriarchy the hoped-for standard, Lerner argues, only reinforces the notion that one sex is bound to oppress the other, which, she reminds us, is exactly what weâ€™re trying to get past. Though the last 10,000 years havenâ€™t been an unqualified success for H. sapiens, certainly weâ€™ve made some progress as a species. In working toward a more egalitarian future, shouldnâ€™t we be setting our sights higher than the Stone Age? CECIL ADAMS

VERMONTERS ON THE JOB

Heat Seeker

W NAME JOB LOCATION

ith the price of oil hovering around $90 a barrel, heating a home in the frigid months can daunt even the hardiest of Vermonters. Enter William Davenport, a 33-year-old mason who builds super-efficient indoor heaters from bricks, mortars and more. The son of a restaurateur (father) and domestic-violence counselor (mother), Davenport grew up in William Davenport Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, Masonry Heater Builder, Turtle Rock Heat before graduating from the Burlington University of Vermont in 1996 and entering into the masonry business shortly thereafter. Typical heaters, says Davenport, take one to five weeks to build and cost $12,000 to $18,000, a price that is eventually offset by reduced heating costs. Davenport is now a father himself, traveling from his Burlington home nearly every morning to jobsites around the state, where he crafts special chimneys and bake-ovens for other families’ hearths. He’s also the vice president of the Masonry Heater Association of North America, which has about 180 members. “The first generation of heater builders in the association tell me that whenever fuel prices go up, they get jobs,” says Davenport. Recently, Seven Days warmed up Davenport with a few questions about his craft. SEVEN DAYS: So, how did you get started in masonry heating? WILLIAM DAVENPORT: In 1996 I started working for a stonemason. I came across The Book of Masonry Stoves by David Lyle. I opened the book and that was the moment. “This is pretty amazing,” I thought. “I want to learn how to do this.” It took a while to get started, but eventually I did some apprenticeship. SD: How do masonry heaters work? WD: It’s a heating technology from Europe — several hundred years old, but they’ve just been built here for the last 35 years in North America. In this firebox, you’re burning cordwood really hot and really fast, and you’re getting the combustion temperature really high, which makes it a clean burn, a complete combustion. Then there is secondary combustion, so you’re

superheating gases and keeping them inside. With an armload of wood, you’re heating a 2000square-foot house for 12 hours during the coldest months of the year. It’s radiating energy at about 150 degrees average — a fairly gentle heat, but it’s pretty powerful. SD: I read on your website that, as a kid, you liked to work with your hands? WD: Yeah, for me it was building dams and streams with rocks and sticks and building forts and stuff. A friend says that when I was little, I told him I was going to be a mason when I grew up, but I don’t remember that. When I first started to work with stone on a job, it felt really natural to me. It’s always felt really natural. SD: What was your major at UVM? WD: Sociology. [Laughs.] I’ve been on a lot of jobsites in Vermont and

there’s someone with a Master’s or PhD on every one. I know a stonemason who’s an ex-lawyer; it’s the most “overqualified” state. SD: What’s it like to build masonry heaters in Vermont? WD: I think it’s super. The population around here is fairly receptive to the technology. I work for a lot of really nice families — people who want to have an efficient wood-burning hearth in the center of the home. I feel like I make a lot of friends. I feel really lucky — I get to build something that’s personal for them. SD: Where do you get materials? WD: A lot of basics come from the masonry yard. When I use soapstone, I get that from Québec; veneer stones usually come out of New York State. Whenever possible, I try not to use stuff that comes from very far away. SD: What other tools do you bring to the job? WD: The masonry wet saw, all the masonry hand tools, levels, trowels. A large portion . . . is done with a mortar pan, a mortar hoe, hand trowels and levels and a wet saw. Oxyacetylene torches for stone, even brick. Routers, belt sanders. Woodworking tools for soapstone. I do some metal work, so I have a small forge at my shop in Essex. SD: What kinds of skills do you need to be a heater builder? WD: The psychological skill set? We’re pyromaniacs. [Laughs.] That’s what helps us endure. Because it’s pretty hard work. I forget how hard it is sometimes. If I hire someone, the first week all they’re telling me is, “I went home last night and I

was asleep at 8 p.m.” You have to be determined. But I’m never just focusing on, “This is hard,” because my mind is really enjoying working out other details. I like it because, when I work the inside, it’s combustion science — the technical realm — and then the exterior is really artistic. I enjoy that part of it, how it joggles those two sides of my brain. That keeps me happy. SD: What’s the hardest project you’ve done? WD: The Living Futures project in Huntington — it’s just a massive, crazy sculpture of stone that was physically incredibly demanding. I have a pain in my head caused by some sort of spinal trauma — occipital neuralgia — and I’m pretty sure it was caused by that project. I can do things to reduce it, but it’s there. SD: Have you had any fires or explosions? WD: Disasters? [Laughs.] Well, nothing major. The beauty of it is, heaters are really safe, because while you are burning faster and hotter than any other wood-burning appliance, it’s embedded in so much masonry that it’s really hard for it to get out. They only function when the door is closed. [A problem might be] not lighting a house on fire but, more typically, a stress crack. [The heaters] always work. There might be a few adjustments that need to be made, but they’ve done what people expected them to do. SD: How often do you get feedback on your work? WD: I wish more. At the Green Mountain Monastery they had a dedication, and half of it was dedicating the hearth. I was touched. I was tickled. m

hat a boon on a lazy Tuesday afternoon, I thought as we sped along the highway en route to Logan Airport. Every so often, an airline will pay the cost of long-distance ground transport. I used to think they did this solely when a customer missed a connecting flight due to a screw-up on the part of the air carrier. But this run was purely the result of bad weather — nobody’s fault, certainly not the airline’s. So I have no idea. In any event, my three customers — Norwich College students homeward bound for winter break — each carried a valid voucher, and that’s all I really needed to know. “Bruce,” said one of the two big guys sitting in the back to his friend in the shotgun seat, “you’re really going to get another tattoo over break?” “I told you I was, dude,” Bruce replied. He, too, was a big specimen, even larger than his two mates in the back, with tree-trunk thighs and a round, ruddy face. In one ear, a diamond stud sparkled — a striking accoutrement, I’ve always felt, for a he-man. “Like I said,” he went on, “I’ve decided to get the Sacred Cross on my calf. You know, for a Christmas present to

I’d call it one of those ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’ situations.” There’s something about these Norwich cadets, and I’ve driven my fair share of them through the years. I’m sure it has to do with the military code of conduct, for which I have great respect. Norwich students can be as boisterous and fun-loving as any other college students, but I never worry about their going too far. At least in public, there’s a line they won’t cross. Knowing this allows me to relax and focus on the driving. And gab. “So, Bruce,” I said as we motored along, negotiating the rolling contours of the Green Mountains, “where are you guys headed to out of Logan? Do y’all live near each other?” “Well, we’re all from Indiana. I live in a little town outside of Columbus.” “Is it built up — you know, suburbanized?” Bruce chuckled and said, “No, it’s sure not. My town is, like, real rural, still a lot of farming. To give you an idea, only 15 percent of my graduating high school class went on to college.” “How’d you end up at Norwich?” “I’ve wanted to be a doctor since I

UNITY CHURCH OF VERMONT

by Mike Ives

Unity Church of Vermont 56 Main Street • Essex Junction

Joy is a learned response to life; it’s something that needs to be practiced daily in our lives, not a milestone to be reached. REV. LANE WILLIAMS, UNITY CHURCH

On wintry Sundays in Essex Junction, dozens of elegant black coats and white dresses dot the lawn of the brick First Congregational Church. That denomination has claimed most of Vermont’s Christian faithful for more than two centuries. But since 2004, a vinylsided rival across the street has been attracting its own squad of adherents. Welcome to Unity Church of Vermont. A Missouri woman founded the sect with her husband in the 1890s after being miraculously cured of tuberculosis. Now the Association of Unity Churches International boasts about 1000 churches, a CEO and an annual budget of $4 million. Though affiliated with that international group, Vermont’s 25-year-old Unity branch is independently run. Hence, the church doesn’t have any financial cushion courtesy of national bigwigs — its annual budget of $45,000 to $60,000 comes from local

this self-deception of what we think we want versus what we do want,” she asserts. “And if we know ourselves well enough, we can stay on the road to our own personal manifestation.” Perhaps no one has absorbed the Unity mantra better than 82-year-old Mal Chamberlain. As Benoit and Parauka step outside into a balmy winter afternoon, he remains seated at a plastic table. The “has-been chemist,” wearing brown corduroys and thick-rimmed glasses, was “born and raised” Episcopal but lost faith while attending MIT. “I knew that even though I was agnostic, that guy Jesus had something going for him,” Chamberlain jokes. After moving here as a retiree in 1982, he adopted Unity as his spiritual “frame of reference.” Since Unity’s 2004 acquisition of this Essex Junction space, “the basic themes have been right on focus,” Chamberlain says. “But the paradox of Unity,” he adds, “is that you need a church to realize you don’t need one!”

ary bungalow in the South Pacific, circa 1970. By 10:05 a.m. on a recent Sunday, Lyon is churning out the gospel in his stately Southern accent. With a small American flag pinned on his gray blazer, he could be addressing an airport hangar full of Navy reservists. Before him, instead, sit 11 patient disciples — including three of his four kids. “The end of our lives is gonna come,” declares Lyon, who’s also a licensed commercial pilot. Nearby, his wife Ellen improvises a graceful keyboard accompaniment. “Between the date that I was born and the date I die, there’s a little dash: I don’t want to have any regrets that I wasted that little dash! Jesus came about 2000 years ago, and he’s coming back. I want to be in that place where he can come back for me. Amen.” Lyon’s presence in Burlington reflects the Pentecostal Church’s evangelical mission. “Even with all of the turmoil goin’ on in Pakistan,” he later says, referring to the assassination of former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto, “there was [sic] three consecutive crusades recently conducted there, with 2250 people receiving the Holy Ghost.” His data comes from “Focal Points,” the January 2008 newsletter of UPC International. “This does not get front-page press, as we so well know,” Lyon laments.

When Pastor Paul Lyon moved to Vermont in the summer of >> 2001, he was a bit hesitant. No wonder: Before coming north, the former Navy commander turned General Dynamics contractor had lived mainly in the South and Midwest. In contrast to the Bible Belt, which boasts a “preponderance” of Pentecostal churches, Vermont only had four. Now Lyon, 56, has been preaching here for over six years. In addition to giving “ad hoc” sermons at the established United Pentecostal Church (UPC) on Route 15 in Jericho, he has also founded a Burlington UPC chapter. Whereas Jericho welcomes between 60 and 90 congregants, Lyon says, his congregation gets 35 — on good days. Early gatherings of this church were held in Lyon’s garage, then at the Church of the Nazarene in Williston. Not surprisingly, these past six years have seen challenges of “commitment” among congregation members, not to mention financial hardship. Burlington’s UPC congregation has received assistance from UPC’s headquarter organization, Lyon’s former church in Maryland, the Jericho UPC church, individual donors and, yes, the pastor’s own pockets. “The ultimate goal is for the church to be autonomous, and that’s what we’re shooting for,” he explains. “I may never get to the point where I can’t have a job, but that’s OK.” Troubles aside, UPC’s future in Burlington looks bright — literally. A few months ago, Lyon’s B-town crew moved to a sunny room on North Winooski Avenue downstairs from CCTV television studios. The space itself feels, if not Southern, a little beachy: Monstrous tropical plants obscure the windows, and tapestries hang on the Listen to an audio excerpt from walls. With Lyon standing behind the the service at sevendaysvt.com pulpit, the place calls to mind a mission-

n the wake of recent Iowa and New Hampshire presidential primaries, Americans of all political stripes are wondering what their country will look like after George W. Bush’s two-term presidential reign ends on January 20, 2009. Lest we’ve forgotten, Bush’s 2004 victory was due in large part to his appeal among white evangelical Christians — a demographic that represented almost one in four voters. According to a 2006 Pew Research Center report, two-thirds of Americans consider the U.S. a “Christian nation”; almost a third think the Bible “should be more important” than American law. Among current presidential candidates, Republican Rudy Giuliani and Democrat Hillary Clinton score the highest marks among “key religious constituencies” in their respective parties. Interestingly, Democratic candidates have so far received a slender majority of faith-based campaign bucks, as they did in 2004. As of October 2007, all campaign-cycle contributions from religion-oriented political action committees and individuals surpassed $600,000. In Vermont, religion doesn’t play as significant a role in politics as it does in other parts of the country, but that doesn’t mean we’re faith free. Though Vermont was the first state government to separate church and state, back in 1807, it also hosted a heap of religious revivals during the “Second Great Awakening” of the early 19th century. Two hundred years later, the Green Mountains are still home to plenty of believers, including some mindful atheists. New England religion has always had a DIY aspect — new churches and sects could and did sprout everywhere. And they still do. In the following, er, trinity of vignettes, Seven Days visits Sunday services at three of our smaller, edgier Burlington-area churches — each service counted fewer than 30 attendees. Though these politically diverse houses of worship operate with various degrees of accreditation, proselytizing zeal and fiscal solvency, they all fly well below the mainstream-religion radar. Despite modest turn-outs, they all radiate flickers of old-time religious enthusiasm — suggesting that, to some flocks, at least, these United States have seen brighter days.

donations. Unity of Vermont bounced around for a while between private residences and Burlington’s Fletcher Free Library in the 1980s and ’90s before taking out a mortgage on this Essex Junction space in 2004. Unity Reverend Lane Williams is an energetic middleaged woman who recently moved here from outside Kansas City, Missouri. Today, she’s attired in a shimmery turquoise blouse and Southwestern-style jewelry. The reverend, a graduate of the Missouri-based Unity School of Christianity, explains that Unity’s current Vermont quarters were built in the 1870s — for Methodists. Sure enough, the church’s interior combines a puritanical aesthetic and new-age flair. The altar and stained-glass windows are standard issue. But there’s an aromatherapy-esque waterfall behind the pulpit. By the entrance, a plaque declares this church a “joy-filled” congregation. “We metaphysicians look for joy in every situation,” Williams announces to the 20-person crowd in a silky voice. “In traffic, in the crowds!” Her assertion reflects Unity’s über-positive, non-pushy approach to Christian theology. At one point in her service, the Missouri transplant pauses to mention several upcoming self-help classes for congregants: “Creating a Complaint-free World,” “Treasure-Mapping” and “The Quest.” Williams calls the last workshop a “wonderful opportunity to create the life you have always wanted.” Why the obsession with joy? According to Williams, the J-word isn’t as easy to embrace as many assume. She explains that “trappings of wealth and success,” such as cars and flatscreen TVs, complicate the search for personal satisfaction. Real joy, notes this reverend, results from a lifelong struggle against superficiality. “One man I know believed that his joy would come when he retired,” she recalls, lowering her voice. “The problem is this: Joy is a learned response to life; it’s something that needs to be practiced daily in our lives, not a milestone to be reached.” Fittingly, the reverend doesn’t take her quest too seriously. Midway through today’s service, for example, she and two other congregation members don what look like Burger King crowns for a very loose interpretation of Chapter Two of the Book of Matthew: “Aw, jeez, where’s my camel?” asks Williams, one of three “wise guys” — as in the wise men who brought gifts to baby J.C. “We left it at Smugglers’ Notch, in the snow,” a fellow actor replies. “So that’s why my feet hurt!” jokes a third. After the service closes with everybody singing “This Little Light of Mine,” the multi-age group heads downstairs for some sweet treats. Valerie Parauka, a brown-haired country singer who performed at today’s service, sits down before a plate of cookies. “I just want to go a church where any kind of faith is accepted and OK,” she says. “Where it’s more the spirit of the higher power of God, not ‘If you don’t believe, you’re bad, and if you do, you’re good.’” Parauka, 40, is currently “shopping around” for the right local congregation. But Unity tops her list so far; the musician appreciates that Williams celebrates community service without skimping on “God talk.” A strong connection between social justice and religious piety has long been a mainstay of the Unity mission. That’s the word from Mary Benoit, a former Vermonter visiting from her current Florida home. Benoit, 59, joined the church in the early 1980s, when it was still meeting at Fletcher Free Library. Even then, she recalls, Unity was doing its part to promote a “flowing notion of prosperity” by sponsoring free neighborhood tag sales. “Brownie-cheesecake bars!” announces a slender fellow with a salt-and-pepper goatee — as it turns out, a former Methodist who joined this congregation last month. “I individually wrapped them,” he points out. Other congregants hover around the coffee maker. “You know, the abundance is all around us,” Benoit insists, filling her cup. “Take what you need, give away what you don’t, and whatever you need will be available to you.” These days, Unity donates regularly to the Joint Urban Ministry Project (JUMP), a Burlington-based charity. Echoing Rev. Williams, Benoit says that gluttonous consumerism clashes with Christian principles. “I think we have

Victory Center Church Holiday Inn, 1068 Williston Road South Burlington

Most dues-paying members of the JudeoChristian tradition agree that the “House of the Lord” is a pretty ambiguous concept — just watch the film Dogma, or listen to singer-songwriter Joan Osborne. In Vermont, perhaps no religious leader stretches the definition of “church” further than Pastor Anna Drinkwine: Her Victory Center Church meets every Sunday at the Holiday Inn in South Burlington. Drinkwine, who grew up in Canada, describes her 22-year-old church as “nondenominational Pentecostal.” At first, she held services in her home, and later switched to a downtown Burlington building. Victory Center moved into this temporary site on Williston Road in April 2006. “God is good. Amen!” cries Drinkwine. It’s 10:30 on a Sunday morning, and the pastor has just thundered into the Holiday Inn’s wood-paneled Birch Room wearing heels and a checkered sweater. “I had my car towed this morning,” she adds. “I wanted them to take it before the snowstorm.” Drinkwine may be a half-hour late for her own service, but the small assembly of six middle-aged, mostly female disciples doesn’t seem to mind. When the pastor declares herself a “secretary” of God, they respond with a chorus of “Amen!” and “Praise God!” As latecomers trickle in, Drinkwine dictates a heavenly memo in a lyrical cadence: “We ask that you take com-plete control of this service,” she requests of the Lord in a low alto, “and that you touch everyone’s idle

well beyond the concierge. Every Sunday, her radio program “Blow the Trumpet in Zion!” is broadcast from Champlain, New York, on 760 AM. In case you miss that Sabbath airing, “Zion!” streams five times the following day from WWCR.com, a Nashville-based Christian website. According to Drinkwine, her show could be reaching “millions.” The pastor does other spirit-media, too. Drinkwine’s cable-access show, “Victory for You!” has been running since at least 1992 on Vermont Community Access Media (VCAM). A VCAM spokesperson says that, while Drinkwine isn’t the only religious leader on the air, she’s one of the most “local.” The pastor received a VCAM producer’s award in 2004. “We minister incredibly over media and television and our website,” she proclaims at one point during today’s service. “We’re also getting invitations to go around the world and preach, so when the timing’s right, we’ll be on our way.” Public outreach notwithstanding, it’s hard to pin down the reach of Victory

need to hear, not what they want to hear.” “Yeah, yeah, absolutely,” chimes in Kathleen Morrow, a mother of two who moved here from West Virginia in November. Today marks her first encounter with Victory Center. Morrow, who dabbled in new-age and esoteric faiths before settling on messianic Judaism, thinks the gospel has been “watered down” by certain congregations. Her new acquaintance Laura Luchini lobs a similar critique against the media. “Television programs your mind,” she suggests. Luchini, a slender woman with dark hair and glasses, is also a former new ager. “Really, if people focused on praising God,” she insists, “they wouldn’t have to live in fear.” “Yeah, what is television?” wonders Morrow between bites of pumpkin pie. “God’s vision is one thing . . . But what does ‘tele’ mean?” “Tel — e — vi — sion,” Drinkwine says. “It’s somebody’s vision, but it may not be healthy.” “‘Touched by an Angel’ — I like that PHOTO: MATTHEW THORSEN

Despite the Church’s global aspirations, today’s service remains locally oriented. Lyon frequently riffs on the word “community,” for instance. Fifteen minutes into his talk, he stops to ask, “Who here knows the name of your next-door neighbor?” After that, the pastor encourages public prayer. Debbie Titus of Ferrisburgh tells the congregation about a relative who is undergoing chemotherapy. Another woman reports that her brothers are both shipping out for Iraq. “When we pray for our community, remember that it’s people we come into contact with every day,” Lyon reminds them. Pastor Lyon celebrates a sort of folksy neighborliness. But UPC International is widely known for its aggressive international proselytizing. Do the members of this congregation see a contradiction there? Not by a long shot. “If you’re friends with someone, they won’t feel threatened if you say you believe in Jesus and you go to church,” asserts Travis LeClaire, an 18-year-old sporting a snappy electric-blue tie. The high school senior says he’s already been accepted to two Bible colleges. “It’s not really like I can convert anyone,” he suggests, grabbing a snack after Lyon’s service. “I can tell them to come to church, but it’s their choice to come back.” According to Debbie Titus, there’s plenty of converting to be done yet. “Jesus commanded us to reach out for him and tell everybody about him,” she says. “It wasn’t just a suggestion.” Titus, 55, stands beside LeClaire sipping coffee from a paper cup. In 1980, she recalls, reps from the Jericho UPC church knocked on her door, and she’s been a Pentecostal convert ever since. “I work in a small company,” she muses, “and I really haven’t gotten a chance to witness enough” — i.e., recruit coworkers to her faith. “But I know my lifestyle, the way that I live, is witness to them.”

ANNA DRINKWINE

Those who aren’t busy speaking in tongues or grooving to a fuzzy medley of conga drums, electric guitars and syncopated beats gape at the spectacle. That emphasis on personal development speaks to Lyon’s overall message. Vermonters “have a strong sense of who they are as a community, and I’m not gonna change that,” he says, sitting down after packing up chairs from today’s service. “What I can do,” he suggests, “is introduce them to the one who can challenge the way they think and validate that in terms of what they know is a revealed truth. “I’m a flatlander. I’m an interloper. I don’t even talk like a Vermonter,” Lyon admits with a smirk. By now it’s just after noon, and the pastor’s 12-year-old son Paul Gene is pushing — with some difficulty — an enormous mop across the tiled floor. “Sin is sin,” dad continues. “I don’t find what’s going on in Vermont to be different from anywhere else in the world.” That’s not to say Lyon doesn’t have some firm ideas about sin. The pastor says he omitted a passage from today’s sermon referring to men who, “leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another.” But after the service, he shares his concern about “sinful” behavior among same-sex couples. The Pentecostal Church International website likens homosexuality to a “satanic snare.” All the same, the emphasis in this room is on the positive. As he talks, Lyon’s face breaks into a generous grin, and his graying eyebrows pop up to underline his words. “God’s true; he loves everybody,” says the pastor. “When the light comes in, the light doesn’t judge; it simply reveals and exposes.”

God, halle-lu-jah! Let it not be under-mined by the spirit realm . . . We thank you, Father, for what you are about to do in Jesus’ name. A-men!” After that kind of warm-up, another church leader might dive directly into a sermon. Not this one; for the next hour, Drinkwine leads a group rendition of panCaribbean Christian sing-alongs, courtesy of a silver boombox and lyrics displayed with an old-school slide projector. By the fifth or sixth tune, what was initially a sheepish flock has morphed into an all-ages gaggle of 23 impassioned genuflectors — think Rusted Root concert meets Jesus Camp. One footloose participant is literally floored with excitement. Toward the end of the sing-along, gray-haired Joan Ehrke collapses in what looks like an epileptic fit. “Hi. Hi! Hi! Yaaa! Ahh! Oh!” bellows the former nun from New Jersey before crashing onto a row of cushioned chairs. “Ohh, hi! Oh, hi! Ohh —” “JEE-sus!” someone in back exclaims. Two women rush to pick up their fallen comrade. Other members of the audience — those who aren’t busy speaking in tongues or grooving to a fuzzy medley of conga drums, electric guitars and syncopated beats — simply gape at the spectacle. “Don’t worry, folks,” Drinkwine asserts with a hearty laugh, gearing up for the second half of her three-hour service. “She’s just a little drunk on the Holy Spirit.” This Holiday Inn exhibition may be small, but Anna Drinkwine’s booming voice carries

Center Church’s kingdom. Drinkwine herself, for example, refuses to estimate the size of her own congregation. Two representatives from prominent Burlington-area religious organizations hadn’t heard of Victory Center. And a spokesperson from Essex Alliance Church, the largest evangelical congregation statewide, declined to comment. That lack of recognition doesn’t stop Drinkwine from dishing dirt on the national Christian establishment. Though maintaining that other preachers are her “brothers and sisters in Christ,” she likens seminaries — a.k.a. theological schools — to “cemeteries.” After today’s sermon, over a late brunch in the hotel restaurant with two new thirtysomething recruits and a Seven Days reporter, she contends that contemporary ministries face a “leadership crisis.” According to Drinkwine, certain churches preach what she slightingly terms a “feelgood” message. “Their goal is building their own church, no matter how big it gets,” she alleges over a plate of hash, eggs and home fries. “Because if you’re building God’s kingdom, you would be telling people what they

show,” Luchini reflects. “But most of what’s on TV is actually illegal — it goes against all the ‘isms.’ That’s how Hitler got away with what he did — by making people laugh at things that were painful.” In her view, the Iraq war is a “distraction from the spiritual battle of God and Satan.” “My message is the gospel,” asserts media-savvy Drinkwine. “A man once told me, ‘I learned more from you in one television show than I did in a whole lifetime of church.’” Filling a fork with potatoes, she adds, “I want to reach people who don’t really understand God, or who’ve had a bad tasting of the churches.” It’s now 2:30 p.m.: four-and-a-half hours since the start of today’s solemnities. At the diplomatic requests of two consecutive hotel employees, Morrow and Luchini begin to settle the check. Behind them, in the far corner of this near-empty restaurant, a monolithic flat-screen TV broadcasts a football game. Meanwhile, Drinkwine is cozying up to the nearest potential convert. “Do you have any belief?” she asks the reporter. “I’m just curious.” m

Sew Cool A new Burlington shop gives pins and needles a good name

omething subversive is going on at the corner of North Winooski Avenue and Archibald Street in Burlington: sewing. Sure, at first glance The Bobbin Sew Bar and Craft Lounge seems benign enough: five sewing machines and two STORY racks of vintage clothing. But peek around AMY one of those racks into the cushion-lined, LILLY brightly painted lounge and you may find yourself face-to-face with the Anarchist IMAGE MATTHEW Craft Circle. Its members might be sewing the message “Use it up, wear it out, or THORSEN make do without!” onto a public-art tree skirt. Or, you might surprise the Queer Crafters bonding over quilt squares made from reclaimed fabric. Then again, you might stumble upon a Stitch-and-Bitch session, at which a handful of men and women alter secondhand clothing while discussing how to end patriarchy. Who’s responsible for this mayhem? “We’re just two mamas with a vision,” says Gyllian Svensson, referring to herself and Rachel Hooper, The Bobbin’s hip co-owners. The self-described best friends, 35 and 31 years old, respectively, opened their socially responsible business in the Old North End in September, 2007. Their “vision” is to reclaim sewing as an art, teach it to everyone, and use it to effect real social change. And they intend to do all this while stemming the tide of cheap, new clothing — inevitably bound for expanding landfills — by encouraging people to make use of what’s already been discarded. “There’s so much stuff in our lives,” Svensson declares passionately. I’ve come on a Friday afternoon for the bimonthly EcoSew class. Our task is to make shoulder bags from recycled materials — a project, I’ve been assured, even the least crafty can handle. I’m early, so I witness a little of the logistical triangulating these two mamas need to do in order to run a business. Svensson transfers her 1-year-old boy to the father of her 8year-old daughter, who then leaves for Hooper’s home around the corner to collect her 2-and-a-half-year-old son, in order for Hooper to get to the store for the interview. “Potty training waits for no one,” Hooper announces cheerfully when she steps inside 15 minutes later. Hooper also works full-time at the Intervale, and Svensson is earning a Master’s in Socially Responsible Business from Goddard College. Their husbands hold jobs that allow them little time for afternoon diaper changing: Svensson’s works at the University of Vermont; Hooper’s is a chef. So creativity, it seems, is the hallmark of their time-management skills as well as their business. First we check out the sewing bar’s five machines, rentable for $8 an hour or $40 for six hours — Svensson also hosts birthday parties here, inspired by her daughter and her friends. Then we move to the lounge, a floor-level affair of used futons wrapped in colorful fabric. Inevitably, we begin commenting on each other’s clothing, and it dawns on me that I’m dressed entirely in new-purchase clothes. Fending off waves of guilt, I notice that both Svensson and Hooper are wearing aprons over their corduroy jeans. “We really and truly enjoy aprons,” Hooper says with a laugh, pointing out that the extra pockets are key when she doesn’t feel like carrying a purse. Svensson, whose tie-on was made by her great-aunt in the 1930s, adds that her first line of clothing will be feminist aprons. “Each one is going to be named for a historical figure and come with a card about who that person was,” she explains animatedly. “My first one is going to be the Margaret Sanger

GYLLIAN SVENSSON AND RACHEL HOOPER

apron, and it’s going to have little condom pockets” — in honor of the birth-control advocate and founder of Planned Parenthood. The two entrepreneurs are not just tossing around witty ideas; they’ve actually identified a nationwide craze for aprons. (“Just check out TieItOn.com,” Hooper assures me.) The Bobbin itself is one of a growing number of do-it-yourself sew and craft studios popping up in major cities around the country. But the Burlington sew bar is unique for being fully sustainable: It deals only in recycled and reclaimed materials. The old sweaters piled on the craft table, for example, came from basements and usedclothing shops; they’ll become our homemade bags during the EcoSew. The yarn came from overstock giveaways at local craft stores and from individuals cleaning out their sewing rooms.

“There’s such a surplus of clothing now, and we’re always being encouraged to go out and buy more,” Svensson laments. The Bobbin’s focus on sustainability, Hooper explains, is “kind of a Depression-era rethinking of surplus. Nothing gets thrown out.” Svensson, originally from Maine, and Hooper, from Florida, met in Burlington as roommates in The House of Girls — a four-woman feminist art collective whose projects included house-cleaning performance art. “We like to play with concepts of femininity,” Svensson interjects with a smile. Both women went to Goddard as undergraduates in the residency program. Svensson finished her degree first and moved to San Francisco; immediately regretting it, she convinced Hooper to move there, too, for company. Hooper was finishing a field study in Bali on the

effects of tourism at the time, and her return flight passed through San Fran, so she stayed. During their three West Coast years, they witnessed the dot-com boom and bust, and watched loft studios get converted overnight into tech offices only to be abandoned weeks later by entrepreneurs-turned-pizza-deliverers. It was a brief but powerful lesson in the pitfalls of being purely profit-driven. After having children, both women eventually moved back to Burlington — this is “a great place to raise kids,” Svensson declares. When the previous owners of The Bobbin — when it was a vintage-clothing shop run by a sewing collective — decided to sell the place, Hooper and Svensson were the perfect buyers: They wanted to set up exactly the kind of community-centered sewing space the original owners had envisioned.

SEVEN DAYS | january 09-16, 2008 | feature 29A

Svensson and Hooper had several motivations to take on the project. They both wanted to run a business they could bring their kids to. The Old North End provided a welcome environment in this sense; another â€œmama-ownedâ€? business, Viva Espresso, is nearby. They also felt spurred by raising boys. â€œWeâ€™re assigning value to sewing,â€? Hooper points out, â€œand we want it to be a skill that everyone has. That means our sons, too. We want them to be able to knit and crochet and mend, just like our daughters.â€? Toward that point, she notes that as many men as women have come in for classes on the sewing barâ€™s five machines. Finally, Hooper and Svensson wanted to create a space for social gathering inspired by the feminist consciousness-raising groups of the 1970s. â€œIâ€™m really interested in the history of sewing circles â€” they were always communal projects,â€? Svensson says. â€œItâ€™s always interesting,â€? adds Hooper, â€œthe discussions you have when youâ€™re working on something with a group of people.â€?

from his Northfield home. Sharron has fiddled with the insides of thousands of Selectrics since he went to work for IBM in 1957. He started as a clock repairman, and then switched to fixing typewriters, which he says IBM has made since the 1930s. The first Selectrics arrived on the scene in 1961. What caused such a stir was that replaceable element ball, which came in different fonts and enabled typists to insert italic or bold type in their otherwise pedestrian “Courier”-based documents. In the hands of a good typist, the Selectric could pump out 150 words a minute. The venerable machine ruled the office roost until the mid-1980s, when daisy-wheel electronic typewriters and early word processors changed the way people tackled the printed word. But those first daisy-wheel writers had two problems, Sharron recalls: Typists complained that there was no feel to the keyboard, and they were too quiet. “What they did was put in a thing they call a clacker, a little magnet,” he says. Every time you punched a key down, it hit the frame, and it made a little noise. It was just psychological, and that cured the problem.” Though word processors would win out in the long run, the Selectric typewriter wouldn’t call it quits. With their aluminum bodies and mostly metal construction, the IBM machines were in for the long haul, progress be damned. “The Selectrics were made to last; I call them industrial-strength machines,” Sharron explains from his workshop, where old typewriters — mostly electrics, and mainly Selectrics of all vintages and colors — sit silently on metal shelves, relics from the days when making copies meant using carbon paper. “I’ve worked on some in the last year that were made in probably ’64,” he offers. “These machines just won’t die.” Neither will the need for a typewriter repairman, Sharron hopes, although he is the last of his kind in the state. Rarer still is the manual typewriter, which he repairs every once in a while. There are, however, still plenty of Selectrics out there. With a soft-spoken

SEVEN DAYS | january 09-16, 2008 | feature 31A

mien and a dry wit, Sharron speculates that a quarter of the 16 million Selectrics manufactured by IBM are still in circulation, and that 90 percent of those are still operable. â€œMost machines just need a good cleaning, a flushing out of certain parts, a few adjustments, and thatâ€™s it,â€? he explains. â€œ[Then] itâ€™s working, and itâ€™s good for another 10,000 miles.â€? Over the years, Sharron has extricated all manner of office detritus from beleaguered typewriters, including paper clips, staples, change, dead flies and mouse nests. â€œOver the weekend [the mice] would build a nest, and on Monday the

ness depends in part on those who do. He estimates he gets a half-dozen calls per month from people and businesses needing his services; he charges $75 for a basic cleaning and adjustment. There was a certain pride in ownership with a typewriter that doesnâ€™t exist today with computers, Sharron believes. When a secretary got a typewriter, it was hers. â€œNot even the boss touched it,â€? he asserts. â€œYou knew if someone had been messing with your typewriter, because the margin was changed.â€? The very act of typing was much more labor-intensive on the electric machines

Over the years, Sharron has extricated all manner of office detritus from beleaguered typewriters, including paper clips, staples, change, dead flies and mouse nests. machine wouldnâ€™t start,â€? he surmises. Though IBM trained Sharron how to troubleshoot and repair the machines, he remained baffled for a long time at how the individual components worked together so well. â€œThen one day I happened to look at it, and I said, â€˜Itâ€™s nothing but a mobile,â€™â€? he recalls. â€œItâ€™s like a mobile, one of those things you hang from the ceiling. Strings come down, and there are horizontal bars, and other things hang off of them. Well, thatâ€™s basically how this, the selection mechanism in the Selectric, works. There are levers in there,â€? he instructs, turning over a machine and pointing to the innards, which consist of more than 400 pieces. â€œYou operate certain levers, and other levers you donâ€™t operate,â€? Sharron continues. â€œThat determines which way [the ball] turns and how much it turns. Donâ€™t know who designed it. Itâ€™s elaborate, but itâ€™s also simple.â€? And indestructible, it seems. Over the decades some people have held onto their machines, while others have found them at rummage sales and thrift shops for as little as a few dollars. But when the Selectric I first came out, it wasnâ€™t so cheap. As Sharron remembers, it sold for a whopping $450 â€” thatâ€™s $3000 in todayâ€™s money â€” and the elements were $15 apiece. â€œFor $525, you had a typewriter with six different type styles,â€? he says. Decades later, such massive entities as National Life and the State of Vermont still have the machines on hand, and use them regularly. At Barreâ€™s Granite City Tool & Supply, â€œthe girls,â€? says Donald Allen, the 76-year-old general manager, use typewriters for correspondence, invoices and purchase orders. Sharron is not one to wax nostalgic for the old days, even though his repair busi-

than it is today. â€œYou had to be disciplined,â€? Sharron explains. â€œWith computers, you just sit there and just type. You donâ€™t have to worry about inserting the paper, or adjusting the paper, or taking it out, or anything else. People waste so much time sending messages to their friends in the office or typing up jokes or things like that. I think people actually work probably about 60 percent of the time now.â€? One of Sharronâ€™s customers, a high school teacher, is trying to change that. She makes a point to keep a few typewriters in her classroom among the computers, so students arenâ€™t so quick to outsource spelling to the CPU. Sharron echoes the teacherâ€™s concern: â€œWith a typewriter, you had to learn how to spell. You were working with yourself, and that was that.â€? ďż˝

BY MARC AWODEY

In and Outside the Box

ugs, yarn, shoes and portraits purloined from art history appear in “Specimen & Marriages of Reason,” a solo exhibition by Jennifer Koch at Burlington’s Firehouse Gallery. Koch has a tough row to hoe: An artist who creates shadow boxes filled with incongruous stuff inevitably invites comEXHIBIT parisons to American surrealist Joseph Cornell Jennifer Koch, (1903-1972). But by thinking beyond the content “Specimen & of each box to consider the negative spaces around Marriages of her iconic images, Koch is forging a new vision of Reason,” box what box constructions can be. constructions, The title “Specimen & Marriages of Reason” multimedia works and prints. represents two bodies of work. The latter segment, Firehouse Gallery, installed in the west gallery room, is a series of colBurlington. laborative woodblock prints executed by Koch and Through January 26. her husband Gregg Blasdel. The large-scale prints were created as part of the 2004 “Print Project Six” at the Firehouse. Each piece in this series juxtaposes ARTWORK relatively minimal organic and synthetic forms. “Specimen #56” by Jennifer Koch “Indigo Spill,” for example, is a vertical 40-by-30inch print in which an elaborate indigo and green PHOTO Marc Awodey

Koch is forging a new vision of what box constructions can be. mass, which includes an Asian-looking ocean image, floats above a spill of black ink. In the black-and-white “Slip Up,” the natural-vs.-artificial dichotomy is more obvious. At left is a drawing of a segment of muscle or ligament, and at right is a nonobjective series of fine lines forming a similar shape. The prints are technically masterful, and the compositions are strong. The exhibition’s main event, however, is Koch’s “Specimen” series, filling the Church Street side of the Firehouse. “I’m inspired by a number of collections, from entomological specimens and archaeological collections to religious iconography,” notes Koch in a posted statement at the gallery. Her works are embedded in the natural history tradition, an aesthetic she’s pursued for nearly a decade.

Beetles have become Koch’s signature media, often encrusting portraits appropriated from art history, as in “Specimen #43” from 2002. It’s a straightforward box piece, containing a collage of two sisters in 19th-century garb spangled with red-spotted beetles. The girls also wear headdresses of white bone, doll parts and plastic detritus. While entertaining, it’s not a particularly original piece. But Koch does demonstrate some real growth in this exhibition: Her 2007 works on display are brilliant. The recent pieces have abandoned the typical Joseph Cornell scale and are built on angles. The 60-by-7-by-32-inch vertical rhomboid “Specimen #56” is based on Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres’ “Portrait of Louise de Broglie, Countesse d’Haussonville” from 1845. A somewhat distorted, large-format copy of the painting rests inside the glass-cased box, and a 3-foot-tall cornucopia of strange objects — wire, forks, spools, dice — seems to explode from the top of the countess’ head. But a subtle, curious aspect also appears in the work. Koch’s portrait is a reversed mirror image of the original, so the composition of

“Specimen #56” leans to the left. One reason is that a right-leaning companion piece of a male in uniform — an Ingres portrait of the Duc d’Orléans from around the same time, entitled “Specimen #57” — hangs beside it. The gentleman also has a mountain of junk flying off the top of his head, including a trombone. Together, the side-by-side boxes form a strong V shape. Koch’s scale and negative space leave Cornell boxes in the dust. Another new angled work is the free-standing, 6foot-tall, 9-by-9-inch-square “Specimen #58.” It’s a leaning tower filled with a jumble of silver women’s shoes. This original, playful image further demonstrates that Koch is productively evolving — and that includes an evolution beyond the strictly frontal image. Koch was the winner of the 2007 Barbara Smail Award, which is administered by Burlington City Arts and includes use of BCA studio facilities for a year, along with a modest cash grant and a solo exhibit. It’s wonderful for a mid-career artist to be given run of the venue, and Koch has made memorable use of the time and space. The Firehouse has kicked off 2008 very well. m

The Good War It’s a dirty job, but someone’s got to do it. In a world filled with political unrest and tragic violence, it almost seems too much to glorify war. Then again, as the “Call of Duty” series has always argued, sometimes the road to peace is littered with shell casings. After three successful iterations putting players behind the rifle of a World War II foot soldier, the “CoD” series moves into the hypothetical near future, where a military coup in an anonymous Middle Eastern country combines with a breakaway Russian faction to threaten the stability of the entire planet. At the hint of a nuclear apocalypse, the game puts extreme measures and escalating body counts into the player’s hands as the only expedient solution. Players might find the politics of this scenario unsettling if only the game gave them a chance to reflect. Instead, “Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare” provides a tensely paced and perfectly balanced machine-gun narrative that doesn’t let up until the grand finale. Although it’s short by first-person-adventure-game standards, the edge-of-your-seat gameplay gives you the feeling of living out an episode of “24” rather than slogging through an entire world war. Whether you’re playing the new man on an elite Special Air Service team sent to retrieve nuclear arms from a heavily guarded ship at sea, or a Marine grunt clearing a dusty village of enemy troops block by block, the action sequences pile on top of each other. It’s all rendered in such vivid detail that it’s easy to take your eyes off the enemy drawing a bead on you from a distant rooftop as you admire the scenery. And just when the treadmill of slaughtering bad guys starts to grow routine, the game

“Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare” $59.99 for Xbox 360, PS3 $49.99 for PC M for Mature

mixes things up by putting you in the body of a political captive facing execution or a gun operator laying down fire from an AC-130 Spectre, lumbering thousands of feet above the battleground. Eventually, a detonated nuke and a visit to a devastated Chernobyl bring home the seriousness of global politics and suggest that a few dedicated soldiers in the right place at the right time can pull a Superman and save the world. And that theme, more than the polished gameplay and gaga graphics, makes “CoD” work. Our need for these heroic narratives seems to come down to the simple fact that if we have heroes, then we have a way of thinking about evil. The complexities of the real world and the endless shades of gray in the war on terrorism fade into the simple, black-and-white format of most war narratives. In this way, “CoD 4” gloriously recasts the divisive events in our real-world Middle East as a bullet-ridden game of chess where the only moral moves you can make have you surging

forward in pursuit of a lunatic who’s bent on destroying the planet. “Call of Duty 4” is a blast to play. But it’s also political poetry that soaks in long after you’ve beaten the final level. Who’s It For: Rich in story and soaked in combat, this is the firstperson shooter for people who think they have grown tired of the firstperson shooter. If You Like This, Try That: The first-person shooter has gone through something of a renaissance lately. With games such as “Call of Duty 4,” “BioShock,” “Halo 3” and “The Orange Box,” gamers now get some thoughtful plot to go with their head shots. Best Part: The single-player campaign in “CoD 4” blows by pretty quickly, compared with those of other first-person-shooter games. But the online multiplayer takes up the slack, providing plenty of reasons to keep responding to this call of duty.

theborowitzreport Hillary Repackages Herself as a Black Man

n what some party insiders are calling a Hail Mary bid to win Tuesday’s New Hampshire primary, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton today attempted to repackage herself as a black man. In the wake of her disappointing thirdplace finish in the Iowa caucuses, there was consensus among Clinton’s campaign aides that her presidential bid needed to be rebooted, but few party professionals expected her to change her race and sex with only five days to go until New Hampshire. According to Clinton strategist Mark Penn, however, Clinton’s decision to become an African-American man was thoroughly consistent with her history as a “change agent.” “Hillary is all about change, and changing her race and sex is just the most recent example of that,” he said. Speaking at a rally in Manchester, N.H., Clinton thanked her supporters for “keeping it real” and promoted her just-released autobiography, “The Bodacity of Hope.” “This election is about whether or not America is ready to elect a black man president of the United States,” she said. “I believe I am that black man.” Meanwhile, former president Bill Clinton

was dismissive of rival John Edwards’s comparison of himself to Seabiscuit, remarking that “in addition to being a black man, Hillary has for many years been a world-class horse.”

This election is about whether or not America is ready to elect a black man president of the United States. hillary clinton

Bill Clinton made his comments in an interview on PBS’s “Charlie Rose Show,” in which the former president, looking blearyeyed and unshaven, touted Clinton’s victory in last year’s Belmont Stakes. Elsewhere, embattled GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney unveiled a new campaign slogan, “What the Huck?!”

BY ROB BREZSNY Check out Rob Brezsnyâ€™s EXPANDED WEEKLY AUDIO HOROSCOPES and DAILY TEXT MESSAGE HOROSCOPES. RealAstrology.com or 1-877-873-4888

ARIES (March 21-April 19): â€œMy calling

hasnâ€™t called yet,â€? wrote Rennie, an Aries reader from Austin. â€œPlease, Rob, say a prayer to all the applicable gods and angels, asking them to do whatever it takes to make sure that I am at home when it finally does.â€? Iâ€™ve got good news for Rennie. Many Aries who have never before had a hint about their calling will be able to gather many clues in 2008. Meanwhile, those of your tribe who have already found their higher purpose will be evolving it to a much deeper level. To help ensure that all the magic unfolds, I have unleashed a fist-pumping prayer to the goddess of mission plans, urging her to invite you Rams to claim the empowering joy that comes from being united with your source code.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): The longest

waves on the planet unfurl in the place where the Atlantic Ocean flows into the mouth of the Amazon River. The phenomenon is called the â€œpororocaâ€? (from a word meaning â€œtumultuous noiseâ€?), and has become a favorite challenge for surfers. In 2003, a Brazilian daredevil named Picuruta Salazar rode a single wave for 37 minutes, gliding and plowing for almost eight miles. Judging from your current astrological omens, Taurus, Iâ€™d say thatâ€™s an apt metaphor for the kind of wave you now have the chance to jump on. If you choose to give it a whirl, donâ€™t plan for a short sweet burst of adrenaline. Be ready for a long, rollicking balancing act.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): This is a

very favorable time to discover what has been hidden from you, to strip away disguises, and to penetrate to the real story that has been buried by the official propaganda. Youâ€™re also likely to generate luck if you go in search of buried treasure, lost keys, and missing links. To help you achieve success in these noble if sometimes stealthy goals, keep in mind the advice of inventor George Washington Carver: â€œAnything will give up its secrets if you love it enough.â€?

CANCER

(June 21-July 22): Mirrors can be powerful tools and useful symbols for you in the coming days. When is the last time you gazed serenely into your own eyes for at least ten minutes? Try it! If youâ€™re brave, go on from there: Actually talk to the interesting creature you see reflected back at you. Ask questions. Give advice. Sing songs. And if youâ€™re even braver, move on to the next project: Bring a friend or loved one to the mirror, and converse with each otherâ€™s images. Tell each other the kinds of raw, shimmering truths that can only be revealed in a mirror.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22): At the Plow & Hearth stores, you can buy realistic boulders â€œto disguise your yard problems.â€? These gigantic plastic monstrosities, which sell for $90, are hollow inside and fit right over the pipes, holes, and other eyesores you want to hide. In the coming days, Leo, you might want to consider acquiring a metaphorical version of this item. Thereâ€™s a big old messy place in your kingdom that seems to be getting bigger and messier. Itâ€™s high time to either conceal it or clean it up.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The U.K.

newspaper The Independent reports that avid reader Mark Bastable consumed the collected works of D.H. Lawrence and found â€œnot a single laugh, not a wry chuckle, not even a quiet grin in the entire po-faced oeuvre.â€? If thatâ€™s true, I say we put an asterisk on the covers of his books, similar to the mark that will go on the home run record of the allegedly steroid-enhanced baseball star Barry Bonds. In D.H.â€™s case, the asterisk will denote that he won a place in the literature hall of fame despite having never expressed the second-most essential human emotion. In any case, Virgo, donâ€™t you dare read Lawrence in the next four weeks. You need to be surrounded by influences that will encourage you to look for humor and amusement in every single thing you do.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): In 15 million years, Los Angeles will be a suburb of San Francisco. It will take that long for the constant slipping of the San Andreas Fault to push the southern city 400 miles north. That will be lucky for the people alive then, since they wonâ€™t have to travel far to enjoy the distinctive pleasures of two of the West Coastâ€™s finest cultural centers. In your case, Libra, you donâ€™t have to wait so long. I predict that two of your personal centers of gravity will combine by the end of 2008. Your divided sense of home will disappear, allowing you to feel more united than youâ€™ve been in years.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Why does

human anatomy include the organ known as the appendix? For centuries, doctors have been unable to determine its purpose. Most have decided itâ€™s unnecessary, a vestigial structure left over from an earlier stage of evolution. But recent research suggests the conventional wisdom has to be revised. In fact, the appendix seems to protect and regenerate the good bacteria that live in the intestines. I predict that youâ€™re on the verge of a metaphorically comparable discovery, Scorpio. Something you have always considered to be useless or irrelevant will reveal its value.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Astronomers say that the Sagittarius Galaxy is being devoured by our own galaxy. Itâ€™s getting stretched, rearranged, and assimilated by our massive gravity. Iâ€™d like to offer up this scenario as a metaphor for you to put into play in the coming week, Sagittarius. Imagine all the fun and interesting ways that you yourself could be â€œeaten.â€? Maybe you could get absorbed into an exciting social scene, or be integrated into an institution you love, or become part of a movement youâ€™ve admired from afar. And maybe you could simply do whatâ€™s necessary to get yourself kissed, licked and sucked all over.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19): The Wind Horse is a mythical creature in Tibetan Buddhist tradition. Symbolizing vigorous life force, it embodies the quick, cleansing power of the wind and the primal vitality of the horse. In accordance with your astrological omens, Capricorn, I nominate this archetype to be your ruling metaphor in the coming weeks. Visualize yourself being accompanied by a Wind Horse everywhere you go. See yourself riding it, feeding it, playing with it. Call on its inspiring presence as you align yourself with the natural beneficence of the universe. Ask it to help you sweep obstacles out of the way as you attract a flow of opportunities to open your mind and heart.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): This will be an excellent week for you to buy $50 worth of silence. And to hang around people who wonâ€™t try to coax you or manipulate you into doing anything. And to wander out into a barren wilderness â€” the Mars-like landscape of the crater near the summit of Mauiâ€™s Mt. Haleakala would be ideal â€” and howl wordless, senseless, empty-headed melodies to a god who may or may not exist. Do you catch my drift, Aquarius? You are likely to attract cosmic luck and generate useful serendipity if you can achieve a state that combines Zen Buddhismâ€™s â€œbeginnerâ€™s mindâ€? with the attitude Henry Miller enjoyed when he said, â€œI have no money, no resources, no hopes. I am the happiest man alive.â€?

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): â€œThe stars

would love to influence your future,â€? reported a horoscope for Pisces in The Onion newspaper, â€œbut they are powerless against your wellestablished patterns of behavior.â€? While this might sometimes be an accurate statement, itâ€™s not true now. The next three weeks will be a very favorable time for you to escape wellestablished patterns of behavior, especially the ones that are no damn good for you. Hereâ€™s a bonus perk: You will also have marked success if you not only rebel against your habits but also against the starsâ€™ influence. The upshot of all this good news is that youâ€™ll be in prime time to unleash your freest free will.

The Bucket List HH

SENIOR YEAR Freeman and Nicholson play cancer patients given just 12 months to live in the latest from Rob Reiner.

eleased on Christmas Day, Rob Reiner’s latest comedy is something of a holiday miracle. Prior to seeing it, I wouldn’t have believed it possible for a single film to squander the talent and cachet of so many living legends. Think Grumpy Old Men with bedpans. A treacly Hallmark card of a movie, The Bucket List features Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman as codgers with little in common besides terminal cancer. Nicholson plays a health-care CEO who’s made billions buying up hospitals and turning them into no-frills assembly lines (“Two beds to a room, no exceptions” is his motto). Thanks to a shameless script

H = refund, please HH = could’ve been worse, but not a lot HHH = has its moments; so-so HHHH = smarter than the average bear HHHHH = as good as it gets

contrivance, his business plan comes back to bite him when he starts coughing up blood, is rushed to a facility he owns for brain surgery, and finds himself bunking with a total stranger. Yeah, that could happen. Freeman’s his roommate. His character is a car mechanic, but you get the sense that’s only because in his town career opportunities as soulful wise men were in limited supply. The mismatched duo bonds in no time flat. Given a year to live, Freeman and Nicholson respond to the death sentence by assembling a list of wild and crazy things to do before the sands of time run out — go skydiving, drive a high-powered race car, visit the Pyramids, etc. Justin Zackham’s screenplay expands the traditional stages of dying to denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance and hijinks. Money’s no problem. Jack bankrolls their fiesta of wish fulfillment. In shockingly short supply, however, are laughs and fresh ideas. Rarely has Reiner crafted a comedy with as little artfulness. The filmmaker puts his stars through their heart-tugging paces, apparently oblivious to the production’s staggering lack of charm. Deprived of virtually anything funny to do or say, both performers are forced to play caricatures of themselves. Freeman dispenses “smell the roses” platitudes

Ratings assigned to movies not reviewed by Rick Kisonak or Margot Harrison are courtesy of Metacritic.com, which averages scores given by the country’s most widely read reviewers.

and provides a trademark Shawshank-style voice-over. (Spoiler alert: Reiner’s so lackadaisical here that he allows Freeman to narrate the goings-on even after he’s been cremated.) Jack is a sadder sight. Reiner’s direction of the actor is a mess. His character’s supposed to be an “all work, no play” S.O.B. But, barely half an hour into the picture, the actor abandons the hospital-buying hardass shtick in favor of a greatest hits collection of classic Nicholson gestures and facial expressions. Without explanation, Scrooge suddenly morphs into a skirtchasing, eyebrow-arching hellraiser, a sort of geriatric version of Cuckoo’s Nest’s R.P. McMurphy. The only elements less realistic than the character’s overnight transformation are the film’s CGI-heavy showcase sequences. Those scenes in which the two dying men squeeze the last drops from life aren’t merely dull and corny, but poorly staged and unconvincingly computer enhanced. Watching Freeman and Nicholson share personal philosophies atop an Egyptian landmark, for example, loses a good deal of its poignancy when it’s evident the exchange was shot on a green-screen Hollywood soundstage. Ditto their jump from a plane and treks across the Himalayas and Africa. The film is such a crock even the zebras aren’t real. A career low for the director and his two leads, The Bucket List is the most condescending, instantly forgettable kind of schmaltz, and all three artists should know better than to waste their time — and ours — on a project this trifling. If the movie gets one thing right, it’s that life is far too short. RICK KISONAK

Juno HHHH

PUN IN THE OVEN Page plays a too-clever-by-half teen who finds herself with child in Reitman’s comedy.

n a recent book, Harvard psychologist Dan Kindlon claims languishing Ophelias are a thing of the past: Brainy, assertive “alpha girls” are taking over American high schools. While his theory’s open to debate, its Exhibit A could be Juno MacGuff (Ellen Page), the 16-year-old heroine of this quirky hit comedy, who already seems like a potential icon for Generation Y. Not since Fargo has a pregnant woman mouthed off this much on film — or kicked as much ass, metaphorically speaking. Until now, teen pregnancy was the province of cautionary after-school specials and movies on the Lifetime Network. The typical heroine was a Good Girl (cheerleader or nerd) who made a Mistake with her boyfriend or let the loutish quarterback Take Advantage. While she wept tears of lost innocence, various adults — parents, counselors — fretted over her situation. Juno, by contrast, is no sheltered flower: She refers casually to abusing booze and Adderall, and the film strongly implies that getting knocked up by her friend Paulie (Michael Cera) wasn’t her first sexual experience, though it was his. She was the one who took his virtue, and she’s also the one who deals with the consequences. That’s probably a good thing, since meek, sweet Paulie looks about as ready to be a father as a newly hatched chick. Juno does follow in the footsteps of many a cinematic pregnant teen when she decides to carry the baby to term. (The movie carefully frames this as a personal choice.) But instead of asking adults for help, she magisterially announces to her dad and step-mom that she’s found her baby an adoptive family. Then she inserts herself into the lives of the barren, thirty-

something couple of her choice (Jennifer Garner and Jason Bateman) to make sure they’re fit to raise her offspring. All of this could have been the recipe for an insufferable movie about a precocious teen — Ferris Bueller on prenatal vitamins. But Juno has two huge things going for it: the inventive script by Diablo Cody and the heartfelt performances. Like Heathers in 1989, Juno has a language that’s all its own — it’s safe to say that no quick-stop clerk would ever say, “This is one doodle that can’t be undid, home skillet,” any more than a high school girl would ask, “Veronica, are you pulling my dick?” But, wacky as it is, Juno’s wordplay feels rooted in the world of Internet message boards,

where people have time to compose their snappy rejoinders. (“Honest to blog?” Juno’s friend asks when she hears about the pregnancy.) It’s not hard to imagine some of the lines making it into the realm of real slang, similar to Heathers’ “What’s your damage?” After scaring audiences — particularly male ones — with her role as a young girl who turns the tables on a pedophile in Hard Candy, 20-year-old Page is just as eerily self-possessed here, but more pleasant to watch. When she shows us Juno’s vulnerability, it doesn’t feel like a radical shift of gears, just a new facet of a person we’re getting to know. In a comedy as stylized as this one, it’s easy for supporting characters to slip into stereotypes — the Clueless Parents, the Shallow Yuppies. But director Jason Reitman and his cast generally avoid those broad strokes. As Juno’s parental units, TV character actors Allison Janney and J.K. Simmons tolerate her bossing with seen-itall Midwestern aplomb. Garner makes us believe in her aching desire for a child, and Bateman is all too recognizable as the Gen X guy who isn’t ready to stop being a kid himself. The movie has its flaws. The incessant indie-folkpop soundtrack gets twee very fast, and it seems a little soft for Juno, a self-declared devotee of Patti Smith. A certain development toward the film’s end feels forced, as if somebody decided it needed a shot of conventional romanticism. Juno doesn’t resolve the question of whether the Alpha Girl will ever find a mate who’s her equal. But it transcends its own formidable cuteness factor to become a movie with staying power.

W W W. M E R R I L LT H E AT R E S . N E T We thought we’d kick off the year with an all-new version of our game — one in keeping with the spirit of fresh starts and new beginnings. What we’ve got for you this week are the opening lines from eight well-known works of cinema. What we need, as you’ve no doubt surmised, are the titles of the films that feature the following famous first words: 1. “I believe in America . . .” 2. “The dream is always the same.” 3. “If you had a choice, would you rather love a girl or have her love you?”

it’s classifieds. 8sevendaysvt.com [click on classifieds]

4. “Nineteen-fifty-four — you don’t get years like that anymore.” 5. “It started with the chair.” 6. “There was me, that is Alex, and my three droogs . . .” 7. “He even took the gramophone on safari . . .” 8. “Saigon — shit, I’m still only in Saigon . . .”

< food> Eat, Drink and Be Wary, Second Edition Predicting Vermont’s top food trends of 2008

ermont culture vultures should savor this moment: Our sparsely peopled state is leading the nation in promoting some sizzling food fads. True, we’re missing out on certain treats enjoyed by au courant urbanites, such as flavored waters, Asian entrée salads and smoked and colored salts. But, according to a 194-item list of “hot or not” foodstuffs compiled by the National Restaurant Association (NRA), quite a few of the biggest food-world fashions are totally Vermont-y.

Which local trends make us hip on the national scene? The biggie is one the NRA calls “alternative-source ingredients.” These include Green Mountain specialties such as locally grown produce (number two on the list, after miniature desserts), organics, “grass-fed and free-range items” and unusual red meats. Vermonters are also on the cutting edge when it comes to our love of craft beer, flatbreads, micro-distilled liquors and braising. Strangely enough, the NRA doesn’t mention the artisan-cheese revolution. But all this cataloguing and predicting seems a little silly — much like trying to find meaning in the rising and dipping of hemlines in the fashion world. What can we really conclude from the fact that 35 percent of chefs think root vegetables are hot, 31 percent say they’re passé, and 34 percent call the winter warriors a perennial favorite? Are Jewish people going to stop drinking Concord Grape Manischewitz because 59 percent of the chefs surveyed think kosher wine is no longer “cool”? It’s fun to read about gastronomic trends and predictions, but here at Seven Days we prefer to

invent our own. As you read, keep in mind that our favorite dish is tongue in cheek . . . Vegetable-Infused Liquors This year, nutrition will be sexier than ever as “functional foods” make their way into your favorite cocktails. You can’t go wrong when your booze of choice is infused with veggies. Stock up on vitamins A and C as you toss down one “broccopolitan” after another. The bracing blend of broccoli-infused vodka, lemon juice and triple sec is both citrus and vegetal, and only a little gross. Where does the ocean meet the land? In a seaweedtini, of course! Mix nori or wakame-scented gin with a few dashes of vermouth, garnish with an olive and a piece of tuna sashimi, and serve. Want an extra urban touch? Wet the rim of the glass and dip it in a bowlful of rice grains. Hav-

ing a hot flash? You can get the estrogenlike compounds you crave with a “tofu triple.” Mix equal parts silken tofu and sake, season with soy sauce, and garnish with a few edamame speared on a plastic samurai sword. As a Japanese person would say: Oishii, ne! (“It’s good, huh!”). Fruity drinks are so 2007. Chef-Made Furnishings In the aughts, it’s de rigueur for chefs to whip up condiments such as chipotlescented ketchup and roasted-garlic mayo — or aioli — from scratch. Sometimes these kitchen wizards even concoct their own recipes for crunchy pickled onions or spiced pear preserves. Now that they’ve got the sauces covered, cutting-edge culinary-school grads

are trying to figure out new ways to adorn their restaurants with signature touches. Since blending herbal tisanes tableside has already been done â€” at the Hudson Valley criticsâ€™ darling Blue Hill at Stone Barns â€” Vermont chefs are setting their sights even higher. Our prediction: housemade plates, flatware and furniture. After all, can you really call a dish your own when youâ€™re serving it on someone elseâ€™s, well, dish? For those chefs who donâ€™t have room to add a kiln or bellows next to the convection oven, there are always local studios that rent out their facilities. Localvore Fast Food and Junk Food Who says food has to be shipped thousands of miles to be cooked carelessly in bubbling vats of rancid grease? Soon Vermonters will be able to experience shoddy sandwiches and thoughtlessly tossed salads made from local ingredients at a new chain called Loco for Local. For breakfast, try a frozen â€™nâ€™ nuked â€œFatty Patty Sandwichâ€? â€” the special sausage is made with a proprietary blend of North Country fat and gristle. The brown-edged lettuce on top? Grown with Green Mountain pride, of course! Meanwhile, on the shelves of your local market or co-op, expect to see a brand of corn chips flavored with Vermont cheddar â€œcheeze foodâ€? and a soda sweetened with genuine-maple-syrup-like Addison County corn syrup. Sure, theyâ€™re pricier and just as nutrition-free as the alternatives from Nabisco and Coca-Cola â€” but theyâ€™re carbon-friendly!

the recommendations of seniorsâ€™ bossy doctors will make like Justin Timberlake and start â€œbringinâ€™ sexy back.â€? How? By once again lavishing citrus juices, chiles, sea salt, butter and cream on their culinary creations. Waste Not, Want Not In 2007, savvy local chefs strove to get the most food possible from each animal. Shelburne Farms even hosted a dinner featuring unusual piggy parts such as braised cheeks and twisty, crispy ears, at which headcheese made a triumphant appearance. The best thing about this wave of frugality is that it lends itself to the production of highly seasoned sausages and sensuous pĂ˘tĂŠs and terrines. This year, chefs will take the concept from the barnyard to the vegetable garden, as they strive to use the â€œwhole vegetable.â€? Love yourself some silky-smooth potato puree? Not any more. After all, consider the peels that went to waste to provide you with that pleasant, creamy texture. Never tried chewing on carrot greens? Soon youâ€™ll find them candied and perched atop your dessert. Letâ€™s just hope they hold off on the whole rhubarb. Using up those leaves wonâ€™t be

cakes with spiced mango coulis when you could pay $2 for the achingly hip miniature version: a bite of crabmeat, a sandy pile of bread crumbs and a mango cube? Itâ€™s as cool (and twee) as a Wes Anderson movie. At the crĂ¨me de la crĂ¨me of dining establishments, expect your plate to arrive with a handsome pair of custom-made tweezers. Musical Meals The â€œinfinitesimal platesâ€? trend wonâ€™t come without a backlash from down-to-earth â€œrealâ€? Vermonters. At restaurants that donâ€™t embrace the minuscule and deconstructed, youâ€™ll find the concept of â€œshared platesâ€? taken to a new level when regular diners get to split their dinners with complete strangers. Think $32 is a little steep for a portion of shepherdâ€™s pie? Thatâ€™s â€™cause itâ€™s not just a portion: Itâ€™s a whole pan. But donâ€™t get too cozy with the hearty casserole; in a few minutes, a friendly server will swap your mass of mashed for the megabowl of spaghetti and meatballs being shared by the party at the next table over. Theyâ€™re not finished yet? Thatâ€™s part of the fun! Before the end of the evening, your entrĂŠe will have

Senior menus Family-friendly restaurants often boast childrenâ€™s menus featuring goofy cartoon characters and primary colors. They offer inexpensive portions of chunky, lard-laden finger foods that are perfect for fast-growing tots â€” while the big people enjoy â€œgrown-upâ€? foods such as burgers and submarine sandwiches. But what about the fastest-growing demographic of all â€” the over-60 crowd? We predict that this year, savvy restaurateurs will begin to hand out â€œsenior menus,â€? complete with large type, to their more venerable patrons. Aging boomers can enjoy easy-eatinâ€™ options such as mashed turnips, red flannel hash and delicious liver purees. Have issues with, um, regularity? Get a bowl of â€œdried plumsâ€? or a glass of juice with Metamucil on the side. The decaf is on the house. Having relegated all their bland foods to the special menu, chefs who were constrained by

made it around the entire dining room, and youâ€™ll have sampled a bunch of the chef â€™s specialties. Germophobes may want to sit this one out.

Infinitesimal plates

Thanks to hardworking activists such as Bill McKibben, Michael Pollan and Barbara Kingsolver, almost all literate Americans have heard of â€œfood milesâ€? and carbon footprints. But so far, nobody has considered how damn long it takes to produce one itty-bitty summer squash. Culinary philosophers will change that this year, as they begin to talk about â€œfood minutesâ€?: the length of time it takes to grow, cook and serve each item that makes its way to your plate. Did you know the sandwich youâ€™re eating took 1,972,234 minutes to create? Gives a new meaning to the phrase â€œslow food,â€? doesnâ€™t it? >

Recently, Kim Severson of The New York Times brashly declared the death of the entrĂŠe in favor of multi-course chefsâ€™ tasting menus and â€œsmall plates.â€? But in the B-town area, only a few restaurants have jumped on board the tapas trend. Most still offer meals designed to showcase ample portions of the hearty dinnertime trinity: protein, starch and a colorful veg. Why are we missing out? Because Burlington chefs are about to skip right over the â€œsmall platesâ€? trend and hit the big time with something even edgier: infinitesimal plates. After all, why would you want to pay $6 for a pair of cute crab

For a town of its size, Winooski is chock-full of eateries, including a handful of popular Eastern options: Tiny Thai, Pho Dang and Peking Duck House. Now Asian-food aficionados in the square-mile city can look forward to another entrée. In March, the owners of Williston’s Asian Bistro will bring their “creaky chicken” and “prawns with honeyed walnuts” to Spinner Place. The restaurant’s dishes hail from Malaysia, Japan, China and Thailand. Why Winooski? Bistro Manager Jerry Jiang says the recent development makes the town a prime location. “There are lots of new, nice buildings. Winooski is growing pretty fast right now,” he suggests. Into “Little Asia”? Construction of the new restaurant will begin next week.

At the end of last year, we published a handful of customer comments from our online dining guide, 7 Nights. Among them was a glowing review of Gusanoz Mexican Restaurant in Woodstock. Unfortunately, the place closed in mid-October. Ay caramba! “We had a nice following there, a nice regular crowd,” explains co-owner Nick Yager, who owned the restaurant with wife Maria Limon, a native of Mexico’s Durango region. “But it was too big of a space for us. We just couldn’t afford the cost of the facility between rent and utilities.” Those who can’t live without a taste of tender carnitas or the occasional evening of salsa dancing can still find ’em at Gusanoz’s original location in Lebanon, New Hampshire.

Some Vermont-authored food books get all the ink. But a few others deserve note. In November, the prolific and memorably named Crescent Dragonwagon started spreading The Cornbread Gospels from her home in Southern Vermont. Her tome, which includes recipes for a maple-syruplaced bread as well as the usual Southern specialties, is a big hit on Amazon. Another unusual offering comes from Crystal Maderia, caterer and co-owner of Montpelier’s Kismet. The New Seaweed Cookbook: A Complete Guide to Discovering the Deep Flavors of the Sea, which features around 100 surprisingly wide-ranging recipes, is her first. Offerings run the gamut from a Moroccan spice rub with kelp to vegan marshmallows made with agar flakes.

As of the first of the year, the Burlington-based bagel chain is using only cage-free eggs in its Queen City, Shelburne and Brattleboro digs, as well as in a couple of Massachusetts locations. The Rutland Herald asked a bunch of politicians and other local luminaries to make predictions for 2008. Only Bernie Sanders mentioned anything about food. Reporter Dawson Raspuzzi reports that if Sanders’ guesses are accurate, “Vermont’s artisan cheese industry will ‘sweep the top honors’ in the 2008 American Cheese Society Awards and United States Championship Cheese Contest.” We always took the senator for an American cheese guy.

It’s a good time for lovers of Italian cuisine. For the fifth year in a row, the well-traveled folks at L’Amante will help diners survive the coldest weeks of winter by offering them samples of food from sunnier climes. Each week, from January 14 through February 21, Chef Kevin Cleary will create a three-course menu to showcase the specialties of a particular Italian region. This year he’s featuring Calabria, Trentino, Emilia-Romagna, Piedmont and Tuscany. Dinners are $35 a person, with optional wine pairing, and are only available on week nights. Valentine’s Day week is an exception: L’Amante will revert to its regular menu for the occasion. The vino is flowing on Church Street, too. On January 17, Three Tomatoes Trattoria will host a wine-pairing dinner featuring a trio of Tuscan wine makers, Marco and Moreno Bruni and Marco Castagnani. The wines will be matched with a four-course Tuscan menu.

It’s got an in-house bakeshop, a sparkling new “demo kitchen” and more than 100 employees. But this is no megamart . . . it’s the new incarnation of Healthy Living Market, located at 222 Dorset Street. “Every department is bigger,” boasts owner Katy Lesser. “We have 2000 new items on the shelves.” But while the store has changed, the food philosophy hasn’t. “There’s a lot more gourmet stuff. Expanded lines of natural and organic stuff we just didn’t have room to carry before,” Lesser relates. What about local products? “We’re all getting done reading The Omnivore’s Dilemma around here, and we feel more committed than ever to local meat,” she muses. Like everything else in the store, the produce section has also expanded. The café, which should open by Friday, will be serving up a bunch of new items, including homemade pizza, rôtisserie chicken, panini and fancy pastries, plus a plethora of grab ’n’ go meals. Once the “demo coordinator” gets in the groove, there will be in-store demos and tastings “all day, every day,” Lesser says. Cooking classes start in the spring, once Lesser’s daughter finishes culinary school and moves home to join the family biz. Locals were surprised when the old store, behind Barnes & Noble and the Blue Mall, closed its doors right before the holidays. “Our lease was up the last day of the year. We would have liked to stay longer, but we were not given the option,” says Lesser. She was forced to shut down operations before the Christmas frenzy so that staffers would have time to move the stock and vacate the premises. “It was so difficult,” Lesser says. “It was not a choice that I wanted to make.” Luckily, she adds, “We got up and running really quickly. My staff worked their tails off.” The new store, which is three times the size of the old one, opened its doors on New Year’s Eve.

If you’re a gringo who can’t digest gluten, Roque’s, Burlington’s only remaining sit-downMexican restaurant, has got your back. Since November, the waterfront eatery has been printing a special menu for those suffering from celiac disease. “It seems more and more people are requiring that particular diet. We have four employees in that situation,” explains Jeannette Wood, who owns the restaurant with husband Jim. Currently, about two or three customers per week request the special menu, which is also available on the restaurant’s website. It includes dishes such as ceviche, chicken taquitos and shrimp a la diabla, to name a few. The flan is flour free, too.

Included: Four-Star Secrets of an Eavesdropping Waiter (Morrow, $24.95) both received flattering endorsements from NYT reviewers, which certainly didn’t hurt their sales. Two other Vermont books that popped up in the Times were part-time Stannard Mountain resident and famed Knopf Senior Editor Judith Jones’ The Tenth Muse: My Life in Food (Knopf, $24.95) and Calais writer Rowan Jacobsen’s A Geography of Oysters: The Connoisseur’s Guide to Oyster Eating in North America (Bloomsbury USA, $24.95). And one locally produced and themed book — Cooking With Shelburne Farms: Food and Stories from Vermont by Melissa Pasanen and Rick Gencarelli (Viking Studio, $34.95) — had the honor of appearing on the paper’s recent list of the year’s “Notable Cookbooks.” But what makes a cookbook “notable,” exactly? How do NYT

staffers weed through the masses to select the cream of the crop? Seven Days asked Book Review Senior Editor Dwight Garner, a Middlebury College grad and former arts editor of Vermont Times, to spill the beans about the process, and to dish about a few of his personal favorites, too. SEVEN DAYS: You’ve been at The New York Times Book Review since 1999. Have you been in charge of identifying notable cookbooks the whole time? DWIGHT GARNER: My colleague Alida Becker is the Book Review’s cookbook czar — she’s assigned and edited our twice-annual cookbook roundups for many years. She has a remarkable, encyclopedic, scary knowledge of the field. I’m just lucky enough to get to write these

a few years ago. I don’t do them every year — genuine experts like Corby Kummer and Amanda Hesser write these more often than I do. SD: Can you talk a little bit about your background as an eater and a cook? DG: I loved my mother’s cooking, growing up in West Virginia and Florida, but I became seriously interested in food in college, when I began a) to loathe the cafeteria chow line, b) to read the work of writers like Calvin Trillin and A.J. Liebling, and c) to cook for myself. I would not be going too far, I think, to say that Trillin and Liebling changed my life. I loved their straightforward, come-asyou-are prose, and I liked how inclusive (and hungry) they were — there’s nothing fussy about either one of them. They’re equalopportunity eaters who wouldn’t be caught dead using a word like “gourmet.” Jim Harrison’s salty, crackling novels were also huge inspirations. A little later, I married a woman whose father is a wellknown and admired chef on the

pieces once in a while. SD: How did you end up with the task? Is it because you’re particularly interested in cuisine, or was it mere happenstance? DG: It was more or less by accident. I assign and edit mostly books of fiction and poetry for the Book Review, and I write about those subjects, too. But Alida knows I love to eat, and she knows I love cookbooks and good food writing. She first asked me to write a cookbook roundup

West Coast [Bruce LeFavour], and she’s a very good cook herself. That sort of sealed the deal. SD: As far as I can tell, all of the books on this year’s list are “actual cookbooks,” in that they focus on recipes. But is it ever tempting to include — or create a separate list for — the many non-

NEW YEAR! 30 NORTH ST. IN BURLINGTON’S OLD NORTH END

Call Us Today For Take Out & Delivery recipe-oriented food books on the market? DG: We review other kinds of food books all the time, individually, in the Book Review. One of my favorites this year was Phoebe Damrosch’s Service Included, a memoir about working at Thomas Keller’s restaurant Per Se. She’s crazily observant and very funny. It’s really a golden age for food writing in this country. SD: Approximately how many cookbooks came across your desk in 2007? DG: Hundreds. Way too many. You could build two forts out of them, and then have a tomato fight. SD: Can you describe the process of separating the wheat from the chaff? DG: You go by feel. Alida makes a first cut. Then I sit down and flip through the pile and winnow some more. But selecting the final 10 or 15 from roughly 40 is painful. Some good books are omitted, for sure.

SD: In order to laud a particular cookbook, must the editor have tried the recipes, or are books sometimes selected on the strength of well-written prose or unique design? DG: You absolutely have to cook from the books. My wife and I prepared at least five recipes from each of the books I reviewed this time out. But the prose is important to me. The cooks I most admire are the ones who can write, who have something of a literary sensibility. SD: What are the chances that a relative unknown will make the list? DG: Pretty good. Several of the books I reviewed this time were by writers I hadn’t heard of before. Some very well-known (perhaps too well-known) food personalities are now, I think, releasing too many books, and it’s almost pointless to review them

— they don’t feel personal or considered; they feel like freeze-dried spin-offs from Food Network programs. (I’m a Food Network fan, by the way.) SD: As a blogger and a culinary enthusiast, do you envision the blogosphere and recipe websites affecting the sale of traditional cookbooks over the next decade? DG: That’s a great question. I do think readers are using the Web more often to track down recipes — I know I do, on occasion. The problem is that many of the recipes you find online turn out to be almost hilariously grim and unappetizing. They haven’t been tested; no editor has gone over them for clarity or concision. I don’t think cookbooks are going away. Among other things, they provide so much tactile pleasure, as well as a sense of continuity and context and tradition. SD: As an aspiring cookbook author myself, I can’t help but wonder if there are particular needs a cookbook must meet, or qualities it must possess, to achieve greatness — a recipe for cookbook-writing success, so to speak. Any thoughts? DG: Greatness! Whew. Greatness does not come sniffing around all that often. But I think it’s a combination of things. It’s not simply a matter of having excellent recipes, incisive and welcoming prose and clear instructions — though those all have to be there. It’s not a matter of super-inclusiveness, either. Bigger is not always better — in fact, it’s rarely better. The great cookbooks, I think, catch you off guard; they fill a gap in the culture you didn’t know was there until that particular book arrived. Think of Julia Child’s Mastering the Art of French Cooking or Edna Lewis’ The Taste of Country Cooking. SD: Two thousand and seven was a great year for cookbook consumers who celebrate carne — witness Beyond Nose to Tail (Fergus Henderson and Justin Piers Gellatly, Bloomsbury USA, $35); Pork & Sons (Stéphane Reynaud, Phaidon, $39.95); and the American edition of the River Cottage Meat Book (Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, Ten Speed Press, $40). But it was also excellent for

those who eschew the fleshy stuff altogether — they got How to Cook Everything Vegetarian (Mark Bittman, Wiley, $35); Veganomicon (Isa Chandra Moskowitz and Terry Hope Romero, Marlowe & Company, $27.50); and the new edition of Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone (Deborah Madison, Broadway, $40). Any guesses about what will be hot in 2008? DG: I honestly, I swear, have zero idea. I do know that Julie Powell, the very charming author of Julie and Julia, has a book coming out about learning to be a butcher. That’s one I know I’m going to be first in line to read. SD: Chefs’ cookbooks — enough already, or keep ’em coming? DG: Keep them coming — the best of them, I think, will win out in the end. SD: I’ve gotta confess to owning more than 300 cookbooks but hardly ever cooking from them. Do you actually cook from yours? DG: My wife and I own just about as many, and we look at them all the time. But I’d say we cook regularly out of only seven or eight of them. I love to come home from work in the summer, fix a cocktail, and sit outside flipping through one of my favorites. It gets the appetite rumbling, and it gets you thinking about what you’re going to eat the next night. SD: Do you have any noteworthy or unusual cookbooks — such as a signed first edition or an odd antique offering? DG: Not really, alas. For a while I had a collection of so-bad-theyare-good cookbooks by celebrity non-cooks — The Mike Douglas Cookbook, etc. But I’ve pretty much jettisoned all of those. The one I kept, and it is truly worth looking for, is A Treasury of Great Recipes, by Vincent Price and his wife, Mary. It’s this big, luscious bruiser of a cookbook from another era, stuffed with recipes that sound terrifically grand . . . but most of them you can cook at home very easily. SD: What are your favorite cookbooks? DG: There are too many to mention. I like to grill all year, inside and out, and I couldn’t live without Chris Schlesinger and John Willoughby’s cookbooks — at one time or another, I’ve dirtied just about every page in each of them. I really admire Nigel Slater, Fergus Henderson, Simon Hopkinson and John Thorne. I could eat every night out of Edna Lewis’ cookbooks. And Richard Olney’s. And Alice Waters’. The book that’s impressed me most recently is Suzanne Goin’s Sunday Suppers at Luques, a lovely and subtle and sensible book that feels like a modern classic. >

All you

Guy

Forsyth can likely be divined from the titles of his two most recent fulllength albums, Love Songs: For and Against and his sprawling double-disc opus, Unrepentant Schizophrenic Americana. What else might one reasonably expect from a — ahem — guy who claims legendary musical oddball Dr. Demento as a formative influence? But to dismiss the Austin-based multi-instrumentalist as merely a novelty act would be a grave disservice. Despite an affinity for sonic tomfoolery, the songwriter’s incisive wit, charming lyricism and considerable chops provide a rich and varied tableau on which he deftly skewers myriad societal foibles large and small. This Thursday he lands at The Monkey House in Winooski as part of a lengthy East Coast tour.

For anyone who grew up loving live music in and around Burlington, 242 Main is hallowed ground. Ever a breeding pool for the next wave of local talent — particularly in the heavy music scene — the dingy basement club below Memorial Auditorium has been the site of some of the best shows in the history of our bustling little burg and has given birth to some of our finest acts. There are few local rock musicians who didn’t spend a significant portion of their formative years in its concrete cockles. As an aside, it was also the site of Vanilla Ice’s rapcore comeback tour appearance in 1998. But I digress. Now under the guidance of Franky Andreas, who doubles as the guitarist for metal throwback hooligans Amadis, 242 has made a concerted effort to branch out beyond the hardcore and punk scene (though the place still boasts enough steel-toed, double-bass-drum ass-kickery to sate the surliest musical appetites) and bring in scads of regional acts of various genres. This Sunday, the club gets its indie-rock on with a trio of up-andcoming southern New England acts. Southwick, Mass.-based rockers Gone By Daylight kick things off. The quartet claims some questionable influences — Third Eye Blind? Really? — but delivers the goods with a gnarly brand of melodic pop-rock that defies the undeniable suckiness of the aforementioned pretty-boy popsters. Third Eyeeffin’-Blind? Next up is Forget Paris from New Haven, Connecticut. These guys put the “pow” in power-pop and might have one of the funniest MySpace pages I’ve ever seen. To wit, their profile headline reads, “I’m Chris Hansen from Dateline NBC. Have a seat.” A word of caution, boys: With lyrics like “She laughs too loud, but that’s not all she can do with her mouth,” I’m not sure I’d be antagonizing Mr. Hansen. Just throwin’ that out there. Headliners The Ghost Sonata are mildly reminiscent of Cold War Kids’ dramatic indie-rock, but with a bit more emphasis on rockin’ than their hipster-sensation counterparts. Raw and energetic, I’m guessing these guys put on one hell of a live show.

PLAYING DEAD Haven’t heard much from local jam-rock outfit Turkey Bouillon Mafia in a while. In a recent press release, the band claims responsibility for impregnating Jamie Lynn Spears and cites “covert infiltration” and a considerable amount of strategic planning as a primary reason for their recent hiatus. Who knew? In celebration of their pro-

names are, Brooks manages to keep some pretty elite company even in the tiny hamlet of B-Town. Ensemble V’s core lineup consists of improv auteur Michael Chorney on prepared guitar, venerable jazz bassist Anthony Santor, drummer PJ Davidian — who comes from one of the most musical Vermont families this side of the von Trapps — and cellist Polly Van der Putten. The roster of additional players changes every week and at times has swelled to as many as nine musicians. But regardless of who shows up, the music is always hot and entirely improvised. If you haven’t had a chance to check it out, I highly recommend that you do.

SKINNY-DIPPING I feel like I’ve been writing so much about The Skinny Pancake lately that I’m running out of clever headlines. Seriously, “Skinnydipping” is pretty much the bottom of the well. But enough of my problems, right? I’ve been espousing the waterfront creperie’s virtues for months now, yet they continue to come up with new ways of piquing my musical interest. This time around, in an effort to reinvigorate sagBENNY YURCO ging Thursday night turnouts and capitalize on the ever-present college crowd, the venue is launching a “Student Showcase” night creational fortitude, a few, um, later this month. The idea is essentially to find some of the area’s members of the group have bandfinest scholastic talent and provide an outlet for them to perform outTHE GHOST SONATA ed together with some of the side the ivied walls of our various institutions of higher learning/ area’s most respected Grateful binge drinking. Dead acolytes for two nights of knocked-up, tie-dyed nostalgia. Not to be confused with an open mike, the evening will feature This Friday at Club Metronome, TBM’s Benny Yurco and Adam artists carefully selected by SP owner Benjy Adler and is not solely King will be joined by Blues For Breakfast bassist David Hyman, limited to acoustic singer-songwriter fare — though one imagines Liquid Dead’s Trevor Ainsworth, Phish archivist Kevin Shapiro that sort of stuff will feature prominently in the schedule. I mean, and Larry Flynn for the first session. Exactly two weeks later, the what’s more collegiate than a sensitive dude who plays guitar to crew is at it again, this time with support from local blues howler attract chicks? Artists and bands interested in being part of the showSeth Yacovone and skins man extraordinaire Steve Hadeka. I’m case can contact Adler at benjy@skinnypancake.com. guessing cigars will be provided. But you’ll have to bring your own weed.

It seems music sessions are all the rage in Vermont these days. Almost any night of the week, you can find old-time sessions, bluegrass sessions, Irish ceilis and, of course, honky-tonk sessions at a startling number of venues and coffeehouses around the state. And that’s pretty sweet. Burlington’s Radio Bean is a veritable hotbed of musical community spirit and hosts such events with remarkable regularity. In particular, Wednesday night’s improvisational jazz session, Ensemble V, hosted by trumpeter Arthur Brooks, has carved out a nifty little niche in the Bean’s weekly schedule and is now entering its second year. Let me be the first to say congrats! The former chair of Bennington College’s Black Music Department, Brooks is relatively unknown in these parts but has shared the stage and recorded with such notable artists as free-jazz trumpeter Bill Dixon and pioneering pianist Cecil Taylor. As impressive as those

Telecom Services: Experience, dependability and a commitment to total customer satisfaction.

Just a few housekeeping issues before I bid you adieu for this week. First up, in a CD review in the 12/19 issue of Seven Days, we erroneously listed Silent Mind’s debut disc, 2012 Here We Come, as “selfreleased.” It’s not. The album was released by Chakra 5 Records, a brand-spankin’-new label based right here in Burlington. My bad, guys. In the following issue, a photo of local MC Burnt MD with underground hip-hop luminaries Planet Asia and Tableek ran in this very column without a proper credit. The pic was taken by Anaii LeeEnder of Gage Promotions.

Hit the spot.

FREE KAZOOS! :: Raucous, bawdy and utterly incorrigible, New York Cityâ€™s Two Man Gentleman Band combine the smoky backroom mystery of hot jazz and the blunt debauchery of old-time country with more than a hint of playful vaudevillian innuendo. While that might seem a recipe for an R rating â€” or at least PG-13 â€” this devilishly clever duo never so much as utters a vulgar word. They do, however, give away free kazoos. Scandalous! Get your family-friendly-ish freak on this Thursday at Montpeculiarâ€™s bastion of good-natured depravity, Langdon Street CafĂŠ.

reviewthis HELLO CONTROL, HELLO CONTROL EP

JUSTIN LEVINSON, BURY YOUR LOVE

(Self-released, CD)

(Outtake Records, CD)

Pop. Punk. Pop-punk. Fans of the former are typically ignorant of the latter, while fans of the latter almost universally despise the former. The hybrid genre pop-punk, likely owes more to Cheap Trick than it does The Sex Pistols. It’s provided the soundtrack for suburban teenage angst — and every teen-comedy flick since American Pie — for more than a decade. As a result, bands such as blink 182, Sum 41 and Good Charlotte have dominated “alternative” rock radio playlists since the mid-1990s. Speaking of which, memo to 99.9 The Buzz: We’ve found your next “Buzz Band.” And they were right under your nose the whole time. Say hello to, um, Hello Control. With its self-titled debut EP, the Plattsburgh quintet serves up five rock-solid tracks of melodramatic, high-energy guitar fuzzery, any of which would likely fit perfectly between New Found Glory and Simple Plan on your average high schooler’s mixtape — assuming kids still make mixtapes in high school. While the group displays all of the genre’s typical calling cards, to dismiss them as merely another cookie-cutter, radiofriendly knock-off would be a mistake. The disc kicks off with pop-a-licious opener “Forever,” which nails pretty much every pop-punk convention with aplomb . . . in the first 45 seconds. A synth-and-drum intro gives way to a wall of driving guitars. Almost immediately, signature nasal vocals — snottily delivered, of course — take center stage over muted power chords. Before you know it, the band launches into a halftime breakdown and subsequently hits you with the requisite fist-pumping, anthemic chorus. Folks who require instant gratification will be gratified. The following track, “Start Over,” is the closest thing to balladry you’ll find on this EP and is certainly lighter-worthy. Like most of the songs here, it’s well written and impeccably played. No individual songwriting or instrumental/vocal credits are listed in the liner notes. But whoever penned these tunes has a knack for succinct pop poetry. The remainder of the disc showcases Hello Control’s willingness to incorporate less conventional — for the genre, anyway — techniques and sounds into the pop-punk template. In particular, their liberal use of Killers-esque retro New-Wave synth and the rowdy a cappella sing-along break on the EP’s final cut, “Tell the Truth,” are effective and inventive. All in all, this is a fine debut from a young band with room to grow. Catch them this Monday at Higher Ground’s Showcase Lounge as the band handles opening duties for fellow pop-punkers All Time Low, Just Surrender, Mayday Parade and Every Avenue.

In the wacky world of music criticism, there’s really nothing like a hyperbolic comparison to ruin your first impression of an artist. Honestly, I really should know better by now, because I fall for it every time. From now on, when I read about the “next” Elliott Smith, John Lennon or — the music scribe’s most unforgivable transgression — Bob Dylan, perhaps I’ll just roll my eyes and turn the page like I know I should. But what can I say? I’m a sucker. I really want to believe that (insert unknown artist’s name here) channels (insert legendary music figure here). But they never do. Sadly, such is the case with Boston-based singer-songwriter Justin Levinson. Suckered again. Vergennes-born and Berklee-trained, Levinson is frequently compared to piano-pop icon Ben Folds. On his new record, Bury Your Love, it’s easy to see why. But it’s not really true. And it’s certainly not fair. Levinson has an obvious affinity with Folds. In particular, the disc’s fourth track, “Daisy May,” is a passable knock-off in both style and feel. But where Folds’ work — particularly his early stuff — exudes off-the-cuff wit and charm, Levinson’s attempt is, well, academic. Does Berklee offer a “Ben Folds 101” class? Hero worship aside, Levinson displays the deft musicianship and arranging abilities one would expect from a graduate of the country’s premier musician factory. The pianist has inventive, often gorgeous musical ideas and typically executes them with grace. But, like his debut album, 1175 Boylston, his latest effort is hindered by clumsy and spiritless wordplay. “Baby you’re a shooting star, but you’re always painted blue /You should be shining high above the skies, but no one can see you,” he sings on album opener “Heavy Weight.” The song is a lament about a Debbie Downer-type lover whose sour worldview is straining their relationship. We know this because Levinson pretty much spells it out for us with near-patronizingly straightforward lyrics. Simplicity is a virtue, but so is guile. Levinson’s vocal performance suggests he knows he’s pretty much phoned it in. Though his technique and pitch are solid, he often sings as though he can’t wait to get to the end of the song. His delivery lacks any sort of urgency or passion, and gives the listener precious little reason to engage with his material. We can’t care if you don’t, man. Justin Levinson certainly has chops and a keen sense of pop archetypes. But book-smarts can propel one only so far. You just can’t teach soul. Levinson celebrates the release of Bury Your Love this Friday at The Skinny Pancake in Burlington.

SEVEN DAYS | january 09-16, 2008 | music 15B

In the Year Two Thousand…Eight A not-so serious look into Vermont’s musical future BY DAN BOLLES The holiday blitz is over, the last fiendish remains of killer New Year’s Eve hangovers have finally relented and Burlington’s streets are lined with naked, driedup Christmas trees waiting to be taken to the great woodpile in the sky. It’s official. It’s a new year — 2008, to be precise. Most publications tend to shoot their loads — metaphorically speaking, of course — and deliver outrageous predictions for the year to come well before January 1. Why? Because in the dog-eat-dog world of professional journalism, the conventional wisdom is that first is best. And generally speaking, that’s probably true. But prognostication is a tricky business. Those daring to gaze into the future and claim to know its secrets do so at their own peril. To which we at Seven Days say, “No, thanks.” A new year is like a new pair of jeans. You don’t pull them off the rack and start wearing them right away. You have to break ’em in first and get a feel for your new duds before you add them to the regular rotation. Likewise, you can’t honestly know what to expect from a new year until you’ve walked around in it a bit. Get a feel for the vibe, ya’ know? As we’re now roughly one-third of the way into January, we feel comfortable enough in our Levi 2008’s to peek into our crystal ball and tell you what we see. So, without further adieu, here’s what you’ll see in 2008. Grace Potter begins cavorting with Paris Hilton, Britney Spears and Lindsey Lohan. On a particularly rowdy evening outside an L.A. nightclub, a series of scandalous paparazzi photos are taken of the Vermont starlet and leaked on the Internet, to the delight of thousands of lonely middle-aged men across the country. However, the ensuing scandal is such a strain on her band that the group dissolves and Potter strikes out on her own, re-inventing herself as an r&b diva and will be known only as “Grace.”

In other breakup news, The Jazz Guys, citing the ever-ubiquitous “creative differences,” call it quits. Guitarist Max Schwartz retires from music and devotes his energies to studying the effects of really tight pants on lab mice. Meanwhile, twin brothers Maarten and Herb van der Poll grow out their hair and form an ill-fated Nelson tribute band. Drummer Frank Zamiello completely disappears, though rumors of a masked man with drumsticks haunting the halls of the Flynn Center begin to circulate with increasing frequency. Following the New England Patriots’ Super Bowl victory in early February, Seven Days music editor Dan Bolles makes good on his promise to friends and family to quit smoking. The resulting flood of angry letters to the editor regarding Bolles’ withdrawaladdled writings over the ensuing weeks sets a new

Amanda Gustafson and Eric Olsen give birth to a child with a strange birthmark on her inner right arm. The mark resembles a Gibson SG.

THE JAZZ GUYS Unfortunately, the city council refuses to expand the venue’s liquor license, citing comically outdated puritanical blue laws. As a result, Anderson maintains the nail spa’s operations, spawning a legion of hipsters with impeccably groomed cuticles. President-elect Barack Obama and running-mate Ron Paul visit Vermont shortly after their landslide victory over the Romney-Schwarzenegger ticket (don’t ask). Vermont is directly responsible for the Democrats’ unlikely win when, mere weeks before the November election, it is revealed that Romney and one-time Senate hopeful Rich Tarrant are actually the same person.

record for the newspaper, shattering Peter Freyne’s previous mark of 342 in a single month. Freyne is rumored to remark, “Sheesh. And I thought politics was a tough beat, eh?”

Experimental music guru Greg Davis, tired of constantly being referred to as “weird” in the pages of Seven Days, records the most conventional pop album in Vermont music history. It is so straightforward, in fact, that Dan Bolles’ review of the CD consists of but a single word: weird. It will be the last time Bolles uses the word in reference to Davis.

Lending credence to the long-rumored expansion of Burlington’s Radio Bean, Lee Anderson finally knocks down the wall between his tiny coffeehouse and the neighboring salon, Lovely Nails.

A prophecy found hidden in newly discovered chapters of the Bible tells of a child of unimaginable musical might who will lead the world to salvation, battling the forces of evil through the power of her

SWALE songs. A few weeks later, Swale’s Amanda Gustafson and Eric Olsen give birth to a child with a strange birthmark on her inner right arm. The mark resembles a Gibson SG. WOMM-LP 105.9 FM The Radiator is an unbridled success and sets the standard for free-form lowpower radio stations across the country. It is so popular, most of the area’s commercial stations switch to free format to compete. Somehow, Linkin Park’s “What I’ve Done” is still played approximately 74 times per day on 99.9 FM The Buzz. With the price of gasoline reaching unthinkable highs, national bands cease touring, forcing music fans and nightclubs to turn to local acts to fill the void. Venues such as Nectar’s, Club Metronome, Higher Ground and Red Square are packed every night of the week as more and more folks realize how deep and varied the talent pool in Vermont really is. �

A big blizzard on December 16 forced the Vermont Youth Orchestra to cancel its annual massed concert, so the organization’s five ensembles will play the rescheduled program in a holiday redux this weekend. Featured faves are choral accompaniment on Leroy Anderson’s 1948 “Sleigh Ride” and excerpts from Handel’s Messiah. Other offerings include Alessandro Marcello’s Concerto in C Minor for Oboe and Strings, with VYO principal oboist Zina Ward (pictured). Been there, done that? The VYO ensemble tunes up again for a separate show on January 20th, featuring composer Daren Hagen’s new triple concerto based on the Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice. ‘Orchestrapalooza’

Sunday, January 13, Flynn MainStage, Burlington, 4 p.m. $5-10. Info, 863-5966. www.vyo.org

scene@ VERMONT FANCY FELINES CAT SHOW SHERATON HOTEL, SOUTH BURLINGTON, SATURDAY, JANUARY 5, 2 P.M.

PHOTO: MYESHA GOSSELIN

I grew up with a beloved Irish setter and now allow an equally beloved, 20-pound Siamese to sit on me at every opportunity, so Iâ€™ve never bought into the idea of the worldâ€™s neat division into â€œdog peopleâ€? and â€œcat people.â€? After a few hours wandering the aisles at the Vermont Fancy Felines Clubâ€™s annual show, though, Iâ€™m willing to consider folks who are committed to raising and showing any animal a breed apart. Think of the commitment: Some of the people primping furry, purebred princesses with brushes and baby powder in the Sheratonâ€™s exhibition hall had traveled from across the country, hoping their critters would meet specific breed standards of shape, color and size. Several French-speaking owners of Quebecois â€œcatteriesâ€? toted their prized chats across the border. Vendors hawked cat paraphernalia â€” vases full of peacock and pheasant feathers, rabbit fur or glittery mylar strips, jingly crocheted toys, fuzzy beds, sisal scratching posts and an 8-inch-long, fabric-roll blunt dubbed â€œThe Kitty Cigar,â€? billed as containing the strongest catnip in the world. Eleven rows of airy cages held individual cats representing more than 20 breeds, from Abyssinians to Turkish Angoras. Visitors were allowed to peek inside, from a respectful distance. Maine Coons hulked, and wrinkly, hairless Sphynxes inspired shivers. In one cushy setup, Persians lolled on leopard-print hammocks, their flat faces making them look perpetually disgruntled. Iâ€™d missed the twice-daily â€œparade of breeds,â€? so I decided to watch some of the end-of-day competitive rounds. At the Shorthair Kittens ring, Judge Pam Moser held up #46, a small, smoke-gray cat with delicate limbs: a Russian Blue. Running her hands along the kittenâ€™s spine, Moser explained that judges look for ideal characteristics in each breed, but â€œeveryone has their preferences.â€? In the ring next door, 12 beautiful-but-not-purebred cats competed in the Household Pets division. A blue-eyed, chocolate-point Himalayan named â€œMiss Nutella Winklesâ€? (â€œNuttyâ€? for short) took runner-up, and first place went to â€œWinston,â€? a portly gray cat with a distinguished white waistcoat. I was pulling for â€œPeekaboo,â€? a kitty that didnâ€™t place â€” he had a Siamese shape with small gray leopard spots and wild tufts of hair in his ears. After all, if cats lion-ize their ownersâ€™ homes, who wouldnâ€™t want a miniature lynx? MEGHAN DEWALD

â€˜MY FAIR LADYâ€™: â€œWotâ€™s it to you, â€™enery â€™iggins?â€? In this Broadway musical adapted from George Bernard Shawâ€™s Pygmalion, a misogynistic and snobbish phonetics professor bets that he can make a street-vending flower girl presentable in high society.

REMADE FOR YOU AND ME Contemporary listeners may question the rosy lyrics of “This Land Is Your Land,” but American dust-bowl balladeer Woody Guthrie wrote it in 1940 as a socialist protest song rather than a paean. The national Ribbon of Highway Endless Skyway Tour brings the gritty, guitar-toting Okie to life in a tribute to his legacy of songs for and about common folks — that is, folk music. The revue covers more than 20 Guthrie tunes, interspersed with scene-setting narration that delineates Guthrie’s musical mission to uplift the downtrodden. Featured performers include Texas-based singer-songwriter Jimmy LaFave and Guthrie interpreter Joel Rafael. Also on the bill? Woody’s granddaughter Sarah Lee Guthrie, who sings as a duo with her Neil Young-ish-voiced husband, Johnny Irion (pictured together). Hear, hear.

Vermont’s own pro basketball experience . . . Fan-friendly, affordable fun!

FLEX TIME

at UVM Department of OBGYN Ira Bernstein MD

Reduced blood flow to the uterus is associated with complications of pregnancy. We are testing the effect of the drug Sildenafil (commonly known as Viagra) on blood flow to the uterus to help us understand if it would be useful in treating these pregnancy complications.

France has its mimes, and Italy its Harlequins, but China’s pedestrian art relies more on muscles than make-up. Its 2000-year-old street-performance tradition is rooted in acrobatics, a skill woven through the country’s art and culture. This week, the Golden Dragon Acrobats of China hit the Flynn with a theatrical showcase of juggling, trick cycling and precision gymnastics. Dressed in elaborate costumes that range from warriors’ sashes to circus leotards, the elite co-ed touring troupe stretches the limits of physical possibility, with T’ai Chi-style control. See bodies balance in complex, symmetrical formations, perch perilously on a ceiling-high stack of chairs, flourish fans in a bicycle-borne pyramid, or simultaneously spin parasols — with their feet. Contemporary and traditional Chinese music accompanies the jawdropping action.

This study is approximately 4 hours in length and consists of one dose of medication We are recruiting women who are: Healthy and 18-40 years of age Have regular menstrual cycles Are not using hormonal birth control Do not smoke

Compensation is $75

EAGLE EYES Forty-five years ago, Vermonters would’ve been surprised to see a bald eagle that wasn’t on a quarter. The Northeast had lost all but about 30 of these living incarnations of the U.S. icon to vanishing habitats and DDT pesticide contamination. But 20-plus years after the banning of DDT, the baldies started making a comeback. Now, thanks to wild-release programs, they number more than 300 in New England, and in 2006, Vermont hosted its first breeding pair in decades. Naturalist Bruce Mac Pherson of the Green Mountain Audubon Society leads a walk around Shelburne Bay to spot adult birds, whose wingspans top 6 feet. (There’s no guarantee of seeing the majestic raptors, but chances are good.) Avian enthusiasts can also keep their eyes peeled for water birds such as hooded mergansers and Iceland gulls — better bring binoculars.

If you’re looking for relationships, dates, flirts, or to hook-up, this is your scene. WOMEN seeking MEN ISLAND GIRL IN VT! There are some things you can’t give up on. One of them is the search for real, knockyour-socks-off, butterflies-in-your-stomach, feeling-steamy-in-all-the-right-places LOVE. Still on that search, obviously, but remain quite hopeful. 4’10, curvy, Latin-Mediterranean Br/BR, 39-year-old F, single, grad school, NS social drinker; spiritual, liberal, GREEN, dating/LTR wants children. GreenWoman, 39, l, #107860 RADIO MOUNTAIN GODDESS New to VT. Looking for friend, date, someone special. Love outdoors (but I still need someone to teach me skiing), local food and NPR. I am looking for someone who is honest with me and himself. I’d like to meet people in my area (Lincoln), but I’m willing to drive to B-town. sleeveheartgirl, 26, l, #107986 BOLD, ADVENTUROUS, SWEET & SASSY I just moved back to Vermont and I thought I’d give this a try to meet new people. I love music and want to find someone I can see bands with. I love to go dancing - I’m always the one on the table or bar. Musicians, especially DJs, make me weak in the knees. Ilikemyoung, 28, #107979 LOVING, FUN, LIVING LIFE FULLY I am a fun girl who’s sometimes a bit shy but always interested in a good time! Love being outdoors but also enjoy time inside lounging or watching a movie. I’m very passionate. I love music, guitar, dancing, hiking, camping, running and long walks. Looking for some love, a sweet guy, maybe a bit old-fashioned. Someone fun and flirty. sweetmainegirl, 20, l, #107897 BELIEVE IN TRUE LOVE I am a compassionate individual with a tender heart. I believe in true love. I’m somewhat shy at first, but I come out of my shell to people whom I feel I can trust. I’m full of love to give to the right guy. I enjoy the outdoors, animals, music and running. I am spontaneous and love meeting new people. lillianajess, 20, l, #107895 FUN-LOVING, GOOFY, YET PROFESSIONAL I’m a 26-year-old photojournalist, and I love my job. I never know what each day will bring at work. My career is a huge part of my life. In my spare time I enjoy traveling, reading, going out for drinks, and seeing bands. I’m laid-back, independent and goofy, and I love to throw cocktail parties and meet new people. photog81, 26, l, #107893 DONE WASTING TIME I have lived alone and done for myself for so long that it’s rare for me to spend my time with others outside work. However, I can definitely be social and enjoy being out and about. I live with my two cats. I must have been one in my past life because I’m always napping. Catnapper, 42, l, #107877

COUNTRY GIRL Hey, I’m a single mother of a wonderful 2-yearold boy. I am full of love and laughter. I like to go out dancing and drinking on the weekends. I am looking for a funny, spontaneous guy to hang out with and get to know. Of course, I need someone who likes kids. lulubell, 22, l, #107874 COSMO GIRL I’m just a girl looking to meet someone special. I’m not originally from Burlington and I work a lot, so it’s hard to meet people. I’m a hair stylist and love it! I love animals. I’m not much of an outdoors girl but love going for walks and am willing to try new things. Family and friends are important to me. cosmogirl, 21, l, #107865 SMILES FROM THE HEART A smiling face says so much about oneself! Are you smiling? I am a stable woman who happens to also be a hopeless romantic. It’s the little things in life that can bring one so much pleasure. Sitting by the campfire, walking on a beach, fresh picked flowers or smiling at someone you love for no reason. smiles_fromheart, 37, l, #107859 LET’S GET STARTED Okay, what to say... Looking for a friend and lover. Would like someone to go skiing with in the winter, biking in the summer, hiking in the fall or cuddling on the couch to watch a good movie or enjoy a glass of wine in front of the fireplace during a storm. If interested, drop me line. Northern_Horizon, 39, l, #107847 WORKING BEE I’m looking for an honest, openminded, wellrounded, attractive guy. I want a guy who makes the girl feel special and is willing to try anything. I’m shy at first but I warm up easily. I’m not afraid to say my mind. It’s really easy to tell if I like you. Give me a chance. hot_ devil, 23, #107835 SWEET, SENSUAL LOVER OF LIFE SWF, 44, petite. I’m strongwilled but not stubborn, independent but not a lone wolf, filled with life’s questions but not full of myself. Most people allow their fears to rule their lives, choosing the familiar over taking risks, even if it means being miserable. I chose to take the road less traveled and have never looked back. sweet1, 44, u, l, #107784 PERSONAL-AD VIRGIN! Active, outdoorsy, energetic woman just looking for someone to share fun times with in the new year. I am recently single and am not interested in meeting a man in the bar.

I consider myself a city and country girl, having lived throughout the country. I am a goofball. My dad would say, “You think life is a joke?” I’d reply with a snickering yes. There are few sports I don’t like to play or watch. I love movies (except chick flicks) and music. RoadTripWarriorGrl, 31, l, #107773

WOMEN seeking WoMEN

SPIRITS LIFTED, NO WAITING Let nature squish between your toes and drip down the sides of your life. Look up from your feet and see the big picture and then feel a small part of what it truly means to be human and alive and related to everything. greengodess, 23, l, #104580 HONEST, OPEN-MINDED I’m easy to talk to, open-minded, trusting and great with kids. I’m a happy-go-lucky person. Looking for a woman to spend time with who is open and honest about herself.

LET US DO THINGS I’ve got a good job, the money is coming in, and I want to spend it. Let us do things. Go to Montreal. Go to the Flynn. Go skiing, go out to eat, go to the movies. I also like hanging out. I am well-adjusted, but I am a spoiled little brat and need to be spanked occasionally. PRISM, 51, l, #107951 NOBODY KNOWS I’M ELVIS I’m not sure which adjectives I’d use to describe myself, so I’ll just talk about myself. Construction is my job and I’m trying to finish college some time this decade. I like reading, watching TV, playing guitar, working out, and playing with my nephew. I love going to Church St. and I try to see live music whenever I can. displacedsoutherner, 23, l, #107963 SWM-20 Let’s start out as friends, but I’d love to get to know you better. I like rock shows, but I also like to kick back in front of the fire on some nights. emo_boo, 20, l, #106462 FARMER SNAG I am an organic dairy farmer. Its is a hard gig to sell with pick-up lines at the bar! (Ever seen the inside of a real dairy barn before?) I am looking for that rock solid, beautiful woman who can appreciate life on the land, and the direct relationship to food. So there you have it. farmski, 32, l, #107952

WORTH A LOOK I can start slow or fast, give a little or a lot, make things happen or see what happens. What I’m really looking for is connection, physically, intellectually, intangibly. Attractive, passionate guy who could run the gamut, from dating to being friends-with-benefits to having a raging affair to love at first sight or any combination therein. Might not work out, but worth it if it does. Open to email, coffee or a drink. cymru8, 36, #103931 LONESOME, BRAWNY, INTELLECTUAL ARTIST Part leader, part Beatnik, part hippie, part redneck, part poet, part little boy, part intellectual, part artist, part manly-man. Seeking younger woman, part girl, part artist, part rebel, part flower, part thinker, part do-er, for dating, canoodling and other indiscretions. I’m attracted to slender calipygian types with shorter hair, but it’s what is within that makes you attractive. Ozrik, 40, l, #106876

MEN seeking MEN ADVENTUROUS MAN SEEKING MATE I would describe myself as someone who is kind and honest and loves to laugh. I would enjoy the company of someone with similar qualities.

Scubaman, 33, u, l, #108005

LONGING IS THE CORE OF MYSTERY Adventurous, artistic woman is hoping to share passionate times and stir up a bit of inspiration this winter. I am kind, attractive, intelligent, honest and seek the same. ecstasy, 30, l, #107901

ADVENTURE-SEEKING ADRENALINE JUNKY I’m looking for a grounded, fun female to share what life has to offer. I am hoping to meet someone to start the new year off with, a woman with a great smile and a kind heart. I’m not searching for the perfect woman but one who fits my personality. We all know chemistry is key and that we like a certain look. Boston_boy, 50, l, #107938

INTENSE SCORPIO I love to laugh and hang out with my friends. I work hard and play harder. Looking for someone who wants to be friends, meet new people and have a good time. lookintomyeyes24, 25, #107802

MEN seeking WoMEN

LOOKING FOR A NEW FRIEND Hi, I’m back in the game after a long-term relationship. Tall, good-looking, hard-working man. Looking for a cool, confident and kind woman. Just moved to Burlington and am enjoying the day- and night-time activities. new_beginings, 43, l, #107932

SEXY FARM HAND It’s winter and I have just moved to Northern VT. I work hard at home with great joy, but don’t get out much or meet people. I am a lover of eating food, most often that which I produce: meats, bread, cheese, butter. I am a fermenter, a community man, a romantic, and almost always up for a blind date. butterandbread, 27, l, #107869

TIME TO SHARE SMILES Enjoying this winter with all the SNOW! But now it needs one special person to share it all with. Love the outdoors and all types of healthy sports but favorites are skiing, running and biking. Love to cook and bake on weekends. Enjoy taking pictures and photography. Spontaneous, creative and daring. skibum4fun, 50, l, #107921

LAID-BACK AND EASYGOING I’m just looking for someone to meet up with, go out to dinner with, catch a movie, and spend time together. I like talking about all sorts of things and chances are we’ll have something to talk about. I’m kind of a romantic and I wouldn’t mind a more serious relationship if one were to arise.

I like being outdoors, fishing, hiking or at the beach. I am looking for someone to hang with, someone I can just be myself with. Kingfisher, 28, l, #108003 HEALTHY, OUTDOORSY, FUN “So, through the eyes love attains the heart.” A quote from one of my favorite poems by an ancient troubadour. You can look directly into someone’s eyes and just know what lies behind. Should you like to take a chance and gaze into my eyes and see what’s there, let me know and I will afford you the opportunity. jjtwister4, 64, #107994 COME, SAIL AWAY OK, so I’m not a pirate, just a crazy guy from the hills. I’m honest, like to have fun at whatever I’m doing, and expect the same in return. Independence and self-reliance are definitely strong points. Love the outdoors, music, good food, road trips, rollercoasters and quiet time. Northernpirate, 36, l, #105786 MWM LOOKING FOR MF Married guy here looking for a little on the side.

Bored as hell and wanna laugh your ass off? Then be adventurous and respond. silicon_ghost, 25, l, #107605

LOVE DOCTOR Call me old-fashioned but I tend to believe that sex and emotional intimacy should go hand-in-hand. I’d love to cook you dinner and then snuggle up and watch a movie. We could go on an adventure or just stay in bed. Me: 26, brilliant, good-looking, strong arms, romantic. You: 21-35, intelligent, funny, confident, charming, reasonably attractive.

Mistress

Maeve

Your Gracious Guide to Love & Lust! Dear Mistress Maeve, I have been on and off with the same man for three years. Because our relationship has been hot and cold, I’ve never done much to address certain things about him that bother me. Meaning, each time we start up again, his same annoying habits are still there. Well, now we’re on again, and there’s something I want to take care of — the speed at which he comes. Every time we start fooling around, my man comes within, oh, five minutes. Maximum. His excuse? “You’re just so good!” If we are able to have sex multiple times in one interlude, he lasts longer, and I am generally able to come along with him on the third romp in the sheets. The thing is, we don’t always have the time — or the will — to make it through three whole sex sessions. I am lucky — he never leaves me hanging. He is more than happy to finish me off with his hand or a vibrator, but I’m sick of feeling like a burden in bed

i Spy... Ms. Wrong You were at Hooters with friends. I was too shy to come to your table. Your shirt said, “I always meet Mr. Wrong.” I think you’re pretty. Hit me back and maybe we can meat up and chill. When: Thursday, January 3, 2008. Where: Hooters. You: Woman. Me: Man. #903046 Missing Luggage New Year’s Eve My luggage didn’t make it from Minneapolis on New Year’s eve and you were the one who helped me fill out the claim at the Northwest Airlines desk at 11:30 that night. I liked your dark hair and easy smile. Wanna have coffee or drinks some night? When: Monday, December 31, 2007. Where: Burlington Airport. You: Man. Me: Woman. #903045 shaw’s in so. burlington I saw you when you first walked in and you caught my eye. Somehow we kept finding ourselves in the same aisle. I didn’t know how to say something in the store, but I’d love to be able find a time to talk with you. You were wearing ski/board clothes and had blond hair. I was in a black fleece jacket and green track pants. When: Sunday, January 6, 2008. Where: Shaws in So. Burlington. You: Woman. Me: Man. #903044 “girlz in the grey car” You left a post-it on my car. Yes, 2008 is great so far. Oh! Sirens of the hopeful parking space, bless me with drinks or some other such fate. When: Saturday, January 5, 2008. Where: City Market parking lot. You: Woman. Me: Man. #903043

when I truly believe the problem lies on his side of the mattress. Signed, Anita Moore-Johnson

Dear Ms. Moore-Johnson, So, let me get this straight. Your man can go three rounds in bed, gives you orgasms with his hands and vibrators — and you’re upset? Look on the bright side; things could be a lot worse — he could give you his five-minute man show, roll over and start snoring. But he’s not doing that. He clearly cares about your satisfaction and should be willing to work on this “problem.” If you haven’t yet done so, talk to him about the issue. Tell him how much you love having an orgasm when he’s inside you, and that you wish it could happen every time. Further, tell him you’d like to actively pursue an orgasm during the first round of intercourse, so that you don’t feel like an afterthought or a burden. Make it fun and suggest the two of you work on it together. For instance, before your next rendezvous, leave him a sexy voicemail encouraging him to rub one out on his own so he can last longer for you later. Or, the next time you’re having intercourse, get a little dominant with him. Tell him to stop thrusting and give you some oral or manual stimulation — this will bring you closer to orgasm and give him a chance to cool off. Above all, don’t lose sight of the good aspects of your sexual relationship — sounds like he’s pretty hot, even if he is a two-pump chump.

Love,

MACKENZIE Hi and nice to meet you. My name is Mackenzie and I am a pretty 3 year old spayed female Pit Bull mix. I am friendly, affectionate, and somewhat timid. I am looking for a gentle and mellow home with kids 10 and up with people who will take me on lots of outdoor adventures and commit to training. I am timid with strangers and haven't been around kids too much. I get along with fellow mellow dogs, but would do best as the only dog in the home, but may do OK with a male dog of a different age. THE STAFF WOULD LIKE YOU TO KNOW: Mackenzie is a sweet and sensitive girl who was originally obtained as a "Katrina" rescue. She knows 'sit,' is crate trained, and usually will come when called. A positive reinforcement class would be helpful to build her confidence, improve skills and help with bonding. She was brought to HSCC because of she fought with the other female dog in her home for human attention and it appears that she was competing for pack status with a peer. She has played well with many dogs here, although she objects to females who try to be dominant. She likes to chase toys and small wildlife, and may run far away in a chase if off-leash. She loves to be outdoors and likes the water. Visit me at HSCC, 142 Kindness Court, South Burlington, Tuesday through Friday, from 1 to 6 pm, or Saturday from 10 am to 4 pm. 862-0135.

I was looking for a roommate, someone responsible — a professional or a grad student. I placed the ad online with Seven Days, and, 15 minutes later, I had a phone call. The guy told me his name and what he did — he’s a teacher — and I asked him if he was free to come over and check out the place. Within half an hour of placing the ad, I had found the ideal roommate. It makes sense — the readers of Seven Days tend to be intelligent and thoughtful people. LANE GIBSON ACTOR AND SOCIAL-SERVICE WORKER SOUTH BURLINGTON
