JULY 13-20, 2011 COMPILED BY CATHY RESMER & TYLER MACHADO

Bentley Davis Seifer, 1998-2011 L ast Tuesday, July 12, 12-year-old Bentley Davis Seifer of Burlington drowned in the Bolton Potholes while swimming with friends. The incident came just days after divers rescued two young men trapped in Huntington Gorge. Seifer’s parents — artist Julie Davis and Bruce Seifer, assistant director for economic development at Burlington’s Community and Economic Development Office — named their son after the famous Vermont photographer Wilson “Snowflake” Bentley. A group of Bentley’s friends created paper snowflakes to honor him, some of which adorned the floral displays at his funeral.

FREE BT

Following the state’s lead, the feds decided not to bring criminal charges against Burlington Telecom. Now can we move on?

FASHION WEAK

GQ rated Burlington the “28th Worst Dressed City in America.” Wonder where that puts Montpelier?

Some of the mourners shared memories of Bentley, evoking both tears and laughter. His parents expressed deep gratitude for the outpouring of support. His father asked Bentley’s friends to remember his son and his kind deeds, to stand up against bullying, and to do good in their lives. — Pamela Polston

A lengthy obituary published for several consecutive days in the Burlington Free Press lovingly told Bentley’s story. He was an “athletic, sensitive, respectful and kind-hearted boy” with many skills. An only child, Bentley was an honor-roll student, a soccer player, a pitcher for his Little League and All Stars teams, a skier. He played the saxophone in the band at Edmunds Middle School. He was, like his mother, an artist.

Hundreds of people turned out for a reception at the Ready Funeral Home last Wednesday, and the memorial service at the Unitarian Universalist Society Church on Saturday. At the latter, the balcony was lined with fellow Little Leaguers clad in their baseball uniforms. A program filled with pictures of Bentley, and a slide show on the wall, provided glimpses of a happy, active life.

MAYOR WALKS THE WALK

I enjoyed the photo and breakdown of Mayor Kiss’ bumper stickers [“Bob’s Bumper: A Read on Mayor Kiss’ Pickup Lines,” July 6], but wanted to make a slight correct on the comment for #12. He may have biked to his office during Way to Go week, but that doesn’t mean he drives his truck all the rest of the time. I have seen him walking to work multiple times, even in the winter. I remember wanting to tell him to put a hat on or he would catch a cold. Dani Fuoco

LAY OFF HOSPITALS

Shay Totten’s “Exemptions and Excuses” article [Fair Game, July 13] on hospital budgets got the numbers right but the story wrong. In numerous studies and reports, Vermont ranks as a top-notch healthcare state, including high-value hospitals. In a 2009 MedPAC report, Vermont’s hospital spending per Medicare beneficiary was 85 percent of the national average. Fletcher

TIM NEWCOMB

Allen Health Care’s Medicare spending was 82 percent, making it one of the nation’s most efficient teaching hospitals. There’s much more of a story behind the numbers. For one, hospitals have made real progress in containing costs, including painful choices like targeted layoffs and employee benefit changes. In a recent Vtdigger.org article, Ham Davis concluded that hospital efforts have helped slow health inflation. Our not-for-profit hospitals provide local, round-the-clock care to all patients in need. As needs increase and other costs rise (like malpractice insurance), so does the hospital spending, which results in a need for increased revenue. The “exemptions” are investments in health care reform, like the necessary — and expensive — installation of electronic health records, the employment of physicians and the spread of the statewide medical home effort (Vermont Blueprint for Health). We cannot hope to create a financially sustainable, high-quality health care system that meets the needs of Vermonters without them. No easy task. Not cheap. The Shumlin administration, the legislature and I believe Vermonters get that this investment in our future makes sense — hence the “exemptions” that are allowed by law. No excuses necessary.

ShumliN’S SNEAkY

The first thing I saw in last week’s issue of Seven Days was the comic about Peter Shumlin taking undisclosed vacations [“Newcomb,” July 13]. Right on; he may have been chosen for his political prowess, but his behavior is completely selfish and unnecessarily boorish. He crashed my parent’s 25th anniversary party last year at the Sheraton to hand out his business card, right after he crashed the wedding reception the floor below us! Where is his decency?

SEVEN DAYS

Dooley is chair of the South Burlington City Council.

In its effort to obtain information in the Currier disappearance case, the Burlington Free Press is seeking a judicial answer to an important question [“Burlington Free Press Wages a Battle — for Documents and Headlines,” July 6]. Can Vermont law enforcement obstruct all public access to records connected with investigations — or just information that, if released, could compromise an investigation, put someone in danger or otherwise cause harm? The question is important because a blanket exemption means even the most innocuous of records can be withheld. When that happens, the public isn’t served, and neither are police. A perception is created that police are withholding information because the information is embarrassing to them and would reflect poorly on their job performance or conduct. If Vermont were to join 24 other states and adopt the federal Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) standard for access to police records, investigation information could be withheld as long as police had a good reason to do so. Absent a good reason, the information would be released. Also, under FOIA, an entire record need not be considered exempt. Redaction can be used to blank out any compromising bits, but the rest of the document is released. As part of the new state public records law passed by this year’s legislature, a study committee will be taking up problem exemptions such as the police records exemption. The committee could clear up the current confusion (and eliminate litigation) around investigation records by

Your readers deserve better than Andy Bromage’s “conflict of interest” article [“Is a Conflict of Interest Behind South Burlington’s Development Slowdown? July 13]. An intelligent reading of attorney Steve Stitzel’s letter shows conflict-of-interest law differs depending on the individual’s task. It explains the law is most flexible when applied to legislative tasks — my current task on the city council. Bromage cites other tasks in his examples — law enforcement, grant and contract awarding, and judicial tasks. By lumping together apple, peach and plum examples with my orange, he confuses your readership about conflict-of-interest law. Bromage also omits that since receiving Stitzel’s letter, Liam Murphy spoke at two city council meetings and never raised the conflict-of-interest issue. Bromage included unfounded allegations of my engaging in ex parte communications with planning and zoning staff without checking this out with me (which I refute) or city staff. Bromage quotes incorrect census data. South Burlington’s population increased from 14,879 in 2000 to 17,904 in 2010, a 20 percent growth rate, not 13 percent as Bromage stated. Bromage misleads when describing my response to his question about a Quarry Hill proposal coming before city council. I said I did not know what I would do but, should the situation arise, I would seek legal advice and make a decision. This occurred during the second of three conversations with Bromage. Then I realized that this would be a quasi-judicial task, like Development Review Board work. Therefore, different law would apply and I would likely recuse myself. Perhaps 10 minutes later (not “a minute”), I called Bromage again, explained my thinking and indicated a likely recusal. So much for journalists’ responsibility to inform and be accurate and fair.

U.S. Census press release. On February 10, 2011, the Census reported South Burlington’s 10-year growth rate —between 2000 and 2010 — at 13.2 percent.

crEEmEE AND mE

I just loved Lauren Ober’s creemee article [“I Dream of Creemee,” May 25]. I quote it whenever I can and point people to your website to read it. My first creemee haven was the Pink Palace in Rawsonville, Vt., where I grew up. It seemed every cone that came out of that place had at least eight inches of creemee on it (well, I was only about 4 feet tall, so it’s all relative), and despite living within a quarter mile of the Pink Palace, creemees were a rare treat. Now, I indulge too often to have them taste very special, but the concept, the numinousness of creemees, never fades for me. Any chance you might print T-shirts with the amazing color illustration that accompanied the article? Ber richardson

“South Pork” FAN

In Ted Rall’s last cartoon, “South Pork” [July 13], Rall argues that Trey Parker and Matt Stone’s newest musical endeavor about Mormon missionaries, The Book of Mormon, is an example of them “selling out” artistically. This couldn’t be further from the truth. Mr. Parker has been a passionate fan of the musical theater form since he was a child; he even joined a community theater troupe as a teenager. In college, Parker majored in music, and his first collaboration with Matt Stone was the feature-length Cannibal: The Musical. Musical theater has played a central role in many “South Park” episodes, and the film South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut was nominated for an Oscar for Best Song. As for the topic of Mormon missionaries, from their second film Orgazmo to their “All About Mormons” episode of “South Park,” Parker and Stone have also always held a constant fascination for Mormonism. Personally, I feel that The Book of Mormon was a labor-of-love project that came out of true artistic inspiration rather than any motive for financial gain, as Mr. Rall suggests. I was lucky enough to see the musical and found it just as subversive as any classic “South Park” episode. Although I agree with Mr. Rall that Broadway tickets are overpriced, Mr. Parker and Mr. Stone are planning to take the show on a tour of the U.S where, at local theaters, the prices will hopefully be less formidable.

suggest that Sandy is pushing for interim zoning is false. To imply that she did anything for personal reasons is preposterous. From my brief association with Sandy Dooley and the other members of the South Burlington City Council, I’ve come to believe that we all have the best interests of our city at heart, and none of us serve on the council for any personal gain or self-interest. I think Sandy Dooley is owed an apology.

7/18/11 2:58 PM

I would like to set the record straight regarding the article inferring that the chair of the South Burlington City Council, Sandy Dooley, is acting out of self-interest by advocating for the interim zoning proposal [“Is a Conflict of Interest Behind South Burlington’s Development Slowdown? July 13]. Sandy Dooley had nothing to do with the initial interim zoning proposal; I take full responsibility for this effort. I campaigned on overdevelopment, its destruction of our natural environment and the negative effect it is having on the residents of South Burlington. For me, responding to development and its consequences are ethical, environmental, financial and legal imperatives. I proposed interim zoning, not Sandy Dooley. In fact, Sandy Dooley voted against my interim zoning resolution, which was far more inclusive than the version currently being considered. To

Just before Seven Days published its initial story, Fogel issued a statement revealing that his wife had “long been in treatment for serious mental health issues with which she has struggled throughout her life.” There was no reference to mental illness in the 900 pages of documents provided to “Fair Game” in response to the records request. Ironically, Fogel’s arrival at UVM was controversial. He and Kahn-Fogel refused to live on campus, opting to build a lakeside home in Colchester instead. That black cloud quickly dissipated, but now he’s under another one that is likely to temper praise of his accomplishments over the past decade. What should have been a yearlong swan song for Fogel has turned into a swan dive.

How He Rolls

Gov. PETER SHUMLIN loves to champion climate change. And fiscal restraint. So his official “wheels” should reflect his inner, penny-pinching AL GORE, right? Get ready for an inconvenient truth: Shumlin’s gubernatorial fleet consists of not one but two Ford Expedition EXP Limited Extended 4x4s. The vehicles retail for more than $50,000 apiece, but the gov is leasing them for just $12,240 each per year, according to Shumlin’s chief of staff BILL LOFY. Tires and maintenance are included in Ford’s special executive lease program. Taxpayers just pay for the fuel — gulp. And what do these tinted hulks get for gas mileage? Thirteen miles per gallon in the city; 18 miles on the highway. Those numbers reflect fuel efficiency in ideal driving conditions. Good luck finding those in Vermont. In the winter. The two Expeditions replace most of Gov. JIM DOUGLAS’ vehicular fleet, which consisted of one Ford Crown Victoria, two Chevrolet Impalas and a Mercury Grand Marquis. They aren’t exactly Priuses, but the Marquis gets 17 city and 27 highway miles per gallon. The Crown Vic and Impalas are going back to the Department of Public Safety, which purchased those three vehicles in the past few years for a total cost of $61,250. What motivated the vehicular switcheroo? A survey. The DPS’ Executive Protection Unit called its counterparts and discovered every other New England governor rides around in an SUV.

Green in the Mountains

Earlier this year, Republicans and Democrats traded accusations that top pols from each party solicited, and possibly accepted, donations from lobbyists during the legislative session — a practice that is illegal under Vermont law. Well, guess what? Despite the ban on lawmakers accepting individual contributions, House and Senate Democrats raised more than $70,000 from lobbyists and their employers as well as businesses that contract with the state. How’d they do it? While state law prohibits lawmakers from soliciting, or receiving, donations from lobbyists or businesses that employ lobbyists, there is no restriction on what pols can raise through political action committees (PACs). House Democrats have the Democratic House Leadership PAC and the Vermont Democratic House Campaign. Together, the two groups raised more than $50,000. Thousands of dollars came in from insurance companies and businesses, business groups and lobbyists representing auto dealers, realtors, telecom firms, pharmaceutical companies and Entergy Vermont Yankee, among others. Senate Democrats collected more than $20,000 via three separate PACs — Senate Circle, Vermont Senate Victory and the Senate Leadership Committee. The last of those was the real powerhouse, taking in money from Omya, AstraZeneca, MVP Health Care, realtors, insurance companies and trash haulers. House and Senate Republicans raised significantly less — no surprise, given Democrats are the ones with the super-duper majority. To wit, the GOP raised a paltry $16,250 combined. The Rs raised their cash from the same set of lobbyists, business groups and trade associations, which just goes to prove that some folks can’t afford to play only one side of the aisle — no matter how few seats are on the “other” side. m

Gov. Peter Shumlin’s reelection campaign wasn’t the only political machine firing off last-minute fundraising pleas in advance of last week’s filing deadline. A GOP power trio sent out a snailmail letter raising money for … Brian DuBie. That’s right — former Gov. Jim Douglas, former U.S. Ambassador to Slovakia roDolphe “Skip” Vallee and Barre Mayor Thom lauzon issued a two-page fundraising missive on behalf of Dubie’s legal defense fund. “Brian needs your financial support today to continue the fight for our common vision of a stronger Vermont,” states the letter. “Can you please join us today by writing a check to show your support for Brian and his fight on your behalf for a more prosperous Vermont?” Gee, sounds like they’re testing the waters for a 2012 gubernatorial rematch. Unlike political contributions, however, donations to Dubie’s legal fund are not governed by state contribution limits — nor do they have to be reported to the secretary of state. Sweet! Dubie is still under investigation by Attorney General Bill Sorrell as part of an inquiry launched in the final weeks of the 2010 campaign. Sorrell is trying to determine whether Dubie’s campaign and the Republican Governors Association broke state law by sharing details of Dubie’s internal polls. State law bans outside groups and campaigns from coordinating activities, or even from “facilitating” each other’s efforts. The alleged poll info may have helped the RGA script an ad featuring pro-choice women supporting Dubie. “We have been responding to questions and responding to questions, and at some point I have to deal with the financial consequences,” Dubie told “Fair Game.” “The attorney general has the taxpayers of the state of Vermont to cover his legal fees, but I don’t. And, when you get asked a question by the attorney general, you have to take it serious.” To date, Dubie estimates he’s racked up roughly $70,000 in legal fees. “The campaign’s done, but it’s not done,” said Dubie. “I’m very grateful that the governor, ambassador and

mayor have stepped in to help out. I’m very grateful.”

In the interest of delivering Shumlin safely around the state, especially on icy winter roads, the EPU decided on the SUV because it outperforms the sedan when it comes to off-road and evasive maneuvers. Those features come in handy, especially when you’re constantly pulling over for gas.

Big, Beautiful and Blister Inducing, Giant Hogweed Shows Its True Colors Around Vermont B Y KEN P I CA R D

ENVIRONMENT GIANT HOGWEED HAS A LIGHTSENSITIVE SAP THAT CAN CAUSE

PAINFUL BURNS, BLISTERS AND LASTING SCARS.

CONTACT WITH THE EYES CAN LEAD TO BLINDNESS. Giant hogweed thrives in what Schmalz calls “waste places,” i.e., land that’s not actively managed or under cultivation, such as ditches and roadsides. Its seeds don’t drift in the air like dandelion seeds but float easily on water, allowing the weed to spread along the banks of rivers and streams. According to Schmalz, giant hogweed can also be found in New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Maine and Québec. Some states, including New York, have

active management and eradication plans. For years, the Vermont Agency of Agriculture tracked the plant’s spread but no longer does so, as it’s now considered “widely distributed but not very abundant” in Vermont. Poison parsnip, a member of the same plant family, is in bloom now, too, Schmalz adds. This wild version of the parsnips you can buy in the supermarket also has flowers that resemble those of Queen Anne’s lace, but they are yellow rather than white. It has the same

dangerous phytophotosensitive sap, too, that burns the skin, though not as dramatically as giant hogweed. Schmalz says he’s puzzled by the recent flurry of phone calls about giant hogweed. The plant has been on the agency’s radar for several years and doesn’t appear to be spreading. “It’s dangerous, but just walking by the plant along the sidewalk won’t make you sick,” Schmalz adds. “It’s not some Friday the 13th horror-movie kind of thing.”

dill and cilantro, and is often mistaken for cow parsnip or purple angelica, which are smaller and more common in Vermont.

iant hogweed is often described as Queen Anne’s lace on steroids. Its leaves can extend three feet in diameter; the plant’s thick stalks, topped with feathery flowers that open like umbrellas, can grow up to 15 feet tall. In short, the plant can take your breath away — and if you’re not careful, your eyesight, too. “It’s an impressive and very charismatic-looking plant,” says Tim Schmalz, a plant pathologist with the Vermont Agency of Agriculture, Food and Markets. “When you see it, you understand why a Victorian gardener would be interested in having one up against the house.” Apparently, the Victorians weren’t especially fond of their groundskeepers. Schmalz warns that giant hogweed has a light-sensitive sap that, when transferred to human skin and exposed to sunlight, can cause painful burns, blisters and lasting scars. Inhaled, the sap can cause respiratory problems. Contact with the eyes can lead to blindness. With the plant in bloom all over the state, Schmalz has fielded numerous phone calls about giant hogweed from Vermont gardeners, farmers, landscapers and other outdoor enthusiasts. Its ill effects aren’t as easily transmitted as, say, poison ivy’s; the sap is in the stalks, not on the leaves. But Schmalz warns that anyone who weed-whacks or cuts down these plants without wearing a long-sleeved shirt, pants and protective eyewear is “playing with fire.” Once a popular showpiece in ornamental gardens, giant hogweed is in the same plant family as carrots, parsley,

Burlington Man Goes Undercover to Expose Bachmann Clinic’s Antigay Therapy

John Becker of Burlington became an overnight celebrity last week when a story in The Nation revealed how the 26-year-old activist infiltrated Bachmann & Associates, the Christian counseling service run by GOP presidential candidate Michelle Bachmann’s husband, Marcus, to expose its use of controversial gay conversion therapies. Becker, who is openly gay and works for the Burlington-based advocacy group Truth Wins Out, went undercover posing as a man seeking counseling to overcome his homosexuality. After five sessions with one of the therapists at Bachmann’s practice, Becker came away with substantial evidence to support claims that they engaged in so-called “ex-gay,” or reparative, therapy, a method that aims to convert lesbian, gay and bisexual people to heterosexuals. Reparative therapy has been rejected by every major professional mental health organization, including the American Psychological Association and the American Psychiatric Association. In a 2006 interview with Minneapolis City Pages, Marcus Bachmann denied allegations that his practice engaged in reparative therapy. So far, no one from Bachmann & Associates or Rep. Bachmann’s campaign has responded to Becker’s claims. Becker tells Seven Days the timing seemed right because of the wellspring of interest in Bachmann. “The fact that she has moved from being a fringe candidate and she actually has a fighting chance at the nomination means people are taking her seriously,” Becker says. “We felt that it was the right time to investigate this.”

VT Supreme Court Rules Against Free Press in Open Records Case

07.20.11-07.27.11

A divided Vermont Supreme Court has sided with Chittenden County State’s Attorney T.J. Donovan — and against the Burlington Free Press — in an open-records case related to the mysterious disappearance of an Essex couple. By a 3-2 vote, the high court denied the newspaper access to search warrants, police affidavits and other documents related to the June 8 disappearance of William and Lorraine Currier. The decision overrules two Superior Court judges who said the records should be made public. For weeks, the Free Press has waged an ongoing battle — in court filings, news reports and editorials — to pry loose investigative records in a case that has produced few updates from Essex police. Prosecutors and police contend that making the records public could compromise an ongoing investigation, while the paper has argued that authorities haven’t made a compelling case for secrecy. “Although the public and the press generally have a presumptive right to court documents, that right may be trumped by the State’s, as well as the public’s, interest in preserving the investigation of a potentially serious crime,” the majority justices wrote, “especially when the right to access does not serve as a check against unjust conviction, excessive punishment or the unwarranted taint of criminality.” But Associate Justices John Dooley and Denise Johnson disagreed. Dooley wrote, “There is no specific showing that disclosing the facts that are in the search warrant requests and affidavits will make it easy for suspects to evade detection.”

Migrant Workers Lobby Governor to Speak Out Against Federal Immigration Program b y An d y b R O MA gE

Governors in three states where the Secure Communities program was adopted — Massachusetts, New York and Illinois — have made national headlines by declaring their states will no longer participate. Will Shumlin become the fourth to opt out publicly? Beth Robinson, the governor’s legal counsel, says the state hasn’t been approached by ICE, which has an office in Williston. “At this point, it’s a nonissue,” she says. And if ICE “asked us to get involved,” she says, she can’t predict Shumlin’s reaction. The governor was out of state on Monday. That hasn’t stopped Danilo Lopez from urging his fellow farm laborers to organize against the policy. Vermont’s dairy farms are heavily dependent on migrant labor; several thousand Latino workers are employed in dairies, legally and illegally. Speaking through a translator, Lopez, a 22-year-old Mexican employed on a horse farm in Charlotte, says the Secure Communities program is “racist” and would endanger Vermont communities by deterring immigrants from reporting crimes to the police for fear that doing so would lead to deportation. Lopez says most farmworkers already “live in complete panic of speaking up,” but he’s nonetheless collected a few dozen signatures, including some from undocumented immigrants. At first glance, Secure Communities looks less controversial than previous ICE enforcement campaigns. Who can argue with getting dangerous criminals off the

ermont migrant farmworkers want their adopted state to take a stand against a controversial — and confusing — federal immigration enforcement program that three governors have already rejected. For several weeks, a coalition led by the Vermont Workers’ Center and VT Migrant Farmworker Solidarity Project has gathered petitions asking the Shumlin administration to say no to Secure Communities, a program that shares fingerprints collected by local police agencies with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, aka ICE. The program’s goal is to catch and deport criminal aliens, but it has come under fire for sweeping up large numbers of undocumented immigrants who have no criminal record. When the program launched in 2008, officials from the Department of Homeland Security initially described it as voluntary, and even provided states and cities with instructions for opting out. Forty-three states have since implemented Secure Communities in at least some of their towns and counties. Vermont hasn’t signed on. Neither have Minnesota, New Jersey, North Dakota, New Hampshire, Maine, Alaska and Washington, D.C. But the Obama administration has since declared that Secure Communities is mandatory and that all states must be on board by 2013. Litigation has resulted. A federal judge in New York recently ordered the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to clarify whether states can decline.

No Jail Time for Vermonter in Alleged “Leak” Probe Celebrated whistleblower Thomas Drake won’t serve time in jail for talking to a Baltimore Sun reporter about a secret surveillance program that collected volumes of personal data about Americans. Last Friday, July 15, a federal judge sentenced the former Vermonter to one year of probation and 240 hours of community service, bringing his Kafkaesque case to a close. Under an earlier 10-count felony indictment, Drake faced 35 years in prison. Drake, who grew up in southern Vermont and attended Burr and Burton Academy, is only the fourth person in U.S. history to be charged under the Espionage Act of 1917 for mishandling classified information. The first was Daniel Ellsberg, who leaked the Pentagon Papers to the New York Times. Last month, Drake pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor of “misusing the agency’s computer system” for providing official National Security Agency information to an unauthorized person — namely, the reporter. Reading from a prepared statement on the courthouse steps, Drake said, “I paid a very high price as a public servant for choosing my conscience over my career and blowing the whistle on government wrongdoing — exhausting all internal channels before going to the press with unclassified information ... I now look forward to getting my life back, so I can live free again knowing that freedom is never free — it requires eternal vigilance.”

Despite the two traffic stops mentioned earlier, Vermont State Police Col. Tom L’Esperance says his troopers follow a bias-free policy that is “consistent” with Sorrell’s. “The Vermont State Police take seriously the necessity of ensuring fair and humane treatment of all people living and working in Vermont regardless of their race, ethnicity, immigration status or other personal criteria,” L’Esperance says. But it remains unclear how local Sous Chef Warren Stickney police see it. Since Sorrell announced and Executive Chef JJ Vezina his view last November, his office hasn’t tracked how many police agencies have lo ca l, f re s h , o rig in a l adopted the bias-free immigration policy in part or in whole, says Cindy Maguire, chief of the office’s criminal division.

street? Plus, the program as designed uses relatively benign means to identify them. Unlike a section of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1996 that deputized local police to enforce federal immigration laws, Secure Communities doesn’t put more heat on the street. As of July 12, the program has removed 82,465 convicted criminal immigrants from the states that have implemented the system, according to ICE. But as implemented, the program is seriously flawed, says Robert Appel, executive director of the Vermont Human Rights Commission, a co-organizer of the farmworkers’ petition drive. “They say they’re going after the big fish, but who they scoop up and put into detention are the little fishes,” says Appel. Appel references several cases that have been reported in the national media. In Boston, an 18-year-old Brazilian woman who has lived in the U.S. since childhood faces deportation after Boston police arrested her for traffic violations and driving without a license. In suburban Maryland, a 28-year-old undocumented woman from El Salvador was arrested and threatened with deportation — and separation from her 2-year-old daughter, a U.S. citizen — after calling police for protection from her abusive partner. Even without Secure Communities, Vermont has seen traffic stops result in immigration busts. According to the Associated Press, state police stopped a car in Orwell last October for driving 72 mph in a 50-miles-per-hour zone and turned the driver and passenger over the U.S. Border Patrol after discovering they were in the country illegally. In June, four Jamaicans traveling without papers met the same fate after being stopped on I-89 near Winooski. They were driving 25 miles-per-hour in the passing lane. Natalia Fajardo, a legal immigrant from Colombia who is co-coordinating the farmworker petition drive, says she experienced ethnic profiling by Vermont police. On July 4, 2010, Fajardo and a Guatemalan friend were returning from the Stowe farmers market when, she says, an officer stopped her for cutting off his police cruiser. According to Fajardo, the officer asked whether she was a citizen — she’s a legal resident — and asked to see her green card.

Sixteen colorful benches, hand painted by local artists, are on display throughout Grand Isle County as part of the LAKE CHAMPLAIN ISLANDS CHAMBER OF COMMERCE’s “Take a Seat in the Islands” event. Islanders and tourists can visit the festive, functional pieces at venues from the Welcome Center in Alburgh to the Allenholm Farm in South Hero and a dozen points in between, and then bid to take their favorite seat home at a fundraising auction next month. Chamber executive director RUTH WALLMAN was inspired by similar art

happenings in other Vermont towns. “We watched Burlington have the cows,” she recalls. “In Brandon they did everything from pigs to rocking chairs to birdhouses.” According to Wallman, boatloads of artists reside in Grand Isle County, either year round or just in the summer. Planning got under way last fall. The initial thought was to use Adirondack chairs. But one of Wallman’s board members suggested keeping things truly local by employing North Hero furniture maker NICK DURSO, who crafts maple and poplar benches sturdy enough for outdoor use. “They’re beautiful pieces of furniture [even] without anything on them,” Wallman says. A wide range of contributors picked up brushes. “One is still in high school, some recent college graduates, all the

They embraced the challenge of venturing Bench by Hannah Maynard outside the canvas comfort zone to tackle furniture and “fool around” with unfamiliar materials such as marine shellac, she says.

Puryear had discovered Levis’ collection during a meeting at the Wilburton Inn several years ago. In Levis’ eyes, the exhibit at ART’S ALIVE GALLERY AT UNION STATION has a clear goal: to introduce Burlington to his theory — that the creative process is a quantifiable conflict-resolution mechanism, “the psyche, the mental heartbeat, whose function is to reduce psychic and social conflict by helping an individual to make social adjustments.” To ensure people understand the science behind the art, Levis is leading weekly tours of the exhibit through the end of August. His theory is certainly fascinating, if complicated, but the art is worth seeing for its own sake. Gorski, whose career spanned the 1950s through the ’90s and included exhibits with the likes of Robert Rauschenberg, Elaine de Kooning and Andy Warhol, died last year at 92. He was best known for his sports lithographs, which make up a small portion of the work on display at Union Station. Some of the most striking works are Gorski’s “Pain Things,” his early

tepping into Burlington’s UNION this summer for “The Henry Gorski Retrospective: Art as Evidence of Science” feels like entering a very strange church. At the top of the grand staircase, as if over a pulpit, hangs a painting depicting a 1960s political crucifixion: John F. Kennedy, Elizabeth Taylor and a group of astronauts, among other figures, look on as a man bleeds from a cross. On display below it, charts and graphs measure the artist’s creative process. “This is not art for art’s sake,” says ALBERT LEVIS, a Manchester-based psychiatrist and theoretician who has been collecting the work of American painter Henry Gorski “compulsively” since 1972. The obsession began when he determined that the painter’s canvases perfectly illustrated the scientific theory Levis himself had been developing for years. Levis directs the MUSEUM OF THE CREATIVE PROCESS, a research and learning center dedicated to the scientific study of creativity housed at the WILBURTON INN, which he also owns. He showed the Gorski work two years ago at a similar retrospective at the CHAFFEE ART CENTER in Rutland. That exhibit and the STATION

When you come into the world with a festival, what to do on your birthday? Throw another festival and up the ante, of course. That is, if you’re OFF CENTER FOR THE DRAMATIC ARTS. “We were talking about how to celebrate our first anniversary,” says JOHN D. ALEXANDER, who founded the Burlington black-box performance space with PAUL SCHNABEL, STEPHEN GOLDBERG and GENEVRA MACPHAIL. When it opened on June 2, 2010, he notes, Off Center presented a four-night, 16-performer “Switch On Festival.” That title “was specific to a beginning,” says Alexander. “We thought, Why not retain the format but leave the name behind us and initiate a Burlington Fringe Fest?” Why not, indeed? While the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in Scotland is the most famous, fests the world over have adopted that moniker and the accompanying edgy, freewheeling sensibility. Beginning next Thursday, July 28, Burlington will have a Fringe of its own — “the first annual,” declares Alexander optimistically. The Queen City has a lively theater community with numerous small groups, he points out, “so that really lends itself to this format.” To put together three nights with four shows each, Alexander says, Off Center “reached out to many of the people who performed last year and throughout the year,” as well as some new ones. The lineup includes a newish group called POTATO SACK PANTS THEATER TROUPE, which Alexander calls “sidesplitting, tears-running-downcheeks funny”; established ones such as GREEN CANDLE THEATRE COMPANY; and solo performers such as new-vaudevillian comic WOODY KEPPEL and eco-activist actor KATHRYN BLUME. Off Center’s principal actors will stay behind the scenes at this year’s fest. “We were going to perform if we couldn’t fill it, but we did easily,” says Alexander, who will stage-manage. That precisely illustrates Off Center’s raison d’être: to provide “a professional, dedicated performance space at an affordable price” to any and all who need it, and in so doing to support a theater scene. “The place has been pretty busy, and we’re still in business,” says Alexander. “I don’t know of any [other] theater company that relies solely on ticket sales.” Those who haven’t been to the venue in a while — especially actors — will notice a few improvements. “We secured the kitchen, office and dressing room, and we’ll be selling concessions for the first time,” says Alexander. “We’ve also redone the sound booth.” For those who still can’t find the place, tucked into the long building at 294 North Winooski Avenue (which also houses the NORTH END STUDIO and CCTV), “we’re going to make a card for distribution with the map and directions.” Oh, and did we mention the Fringe Festival is a benefit? “We’re a nonprofit, and we’ve met that goal,” Alexander quips. “None of us is getting paid, but we knew that would be the case going in.” Off Center’s latest fundraising drive is aimed at financing a new projector with retractable screen — for hosting film nights — new signage, a redecoration of the expanded space, furniture for the dressing room and new theater seats. “Audience comfort and aesthetic is what we’re going for,” says Alexander.

Berne flies deposit their eggs under your skin, which turn into hungry, wriggling larvae. I’d also watch out for cyanide-squirting millipedes, blindness-causing parasitic worms and flesh-eating bees. Una, I said, these vermin are indeed worrisome if you’re dumb enough to go on an expedition through the rain forest. But it’s unfair of you to suggest Australia’s reputation stems solely from bourgeois paranoia. Remember those deadly funnel web spiders? The deadliest variety is found only within 100 miles of Sydney. Our suburban letter writer herself said she’d had runins with numerous lethal critters. And humans don’t always escape. The fearsome saltwater crocodile reliably eats an Australian every year or two, and likely holds the record for most people killed by animals at one go. During the Battle of Ramree Island in February 1945, British forces chased 1000 Japanese soldiers into a croc-infested swamp. No more than 20 were taken prisoner; presumably hundreds were eaten alive. OK, that was off the coast of Burma, not Australia. But I say close enough. Feh, said Una. You’ve forgotten about a South American fish with a horrifying talent once considered mythical. You yourself showed it wasn’t. I speak of the impromptu urology exam administered by the inquisitive… Crap, I said, crossing my legs. The candiru. Exactly, said Una. Consider yourself pawned. What could I say? Australia is a dangerous place, Christine. But we live in a dangerous world.

07.20.11-07.27.11

Order by the pallet,

spiders aren’t insects but arachnids. Whatever you call them, I retorted, they’re murderous little bastards, responsible for at least 13 deaths. Meanwhile, the redback spider, a relative of our American black widow, has slain at least 14. Tragic, said Una calmly. But let’s consider the matter in the cold light of dawn. All 13 funnel web fatalities happened before 1980, and all 14 redback deaths occurred before 1955. In other words, the danger in affluent Australia is largely theoretical. If we consider actual body count — snakebite deaths, say — we find Australia isn’t even in the top 10 worldwide. India has a mortality rate at least 30

times as high. Australia has less than a quarter the venomous bite rate of Southeast Asia or subSaharan Africa, and its death rate is laughably low. • Never mind, I said, let’s turn to aquatic monstrosities. To hear Bryson tell it, on some Australian coasts merely dipping a toe in the water will result in certain death. You’ve got box jellyfish, snotty jellyfish, poisonous sea snails. There are stinging coral, sea snakes, stonefish, lionfish and scorpion fish. Giant groupers. The blue-ringed octopus. And let’s not overlook sharks. • Other menaces include the cassowary, a large flightless bird capable of administering a fatal kick to the neck.

She produced David Grann’s The Lost City of Z (2009), about the search for a mythological El Dorado in Brazil. Never mind the cannibals, she said. Here’s a land where you can be crushed by anacondas, eaten by piranha and jolted by electric eels. Angry wild pigs roam the forests; colorful frogs are deadly to the touch. But it’s bugs that give the region its charm, she continued. Look here on page 83. Poisonous, flesh-eating fire ants can drive you mad or strip you to the bone.

Dear cecil, I’ve often heard Australia contains more things that can kill you than anywhere else on the planet, often coupled with the proud assertion that our deadly wildlife is deadlier than everywhere else’s deadly wildlife. I live in suburban Sydney and have personally encountered funnel web spiders, redback spiders, red-bellied black snakes and a blue-ringed octopus. So I’m not surprised by the idea that there are lots of things in Australia that can kill you. But are we Aussies really blessed with a more lethal fauna than the rest of the world? christine moffat our letter provoked yet another controversy here at the Straight Dope.

Declining my offer to airdrop her into the outback to investigate personally, she proposed the next best thing: a book-off.

Case Study: “Barry O.”

am honored to deliver the keynote speech at this first Symposium of the American Institute of Political Pseudo-Psychoanalysis. In accordance with the uniqueness of this occasion, I will depart from convention and venture to analyze a person I have not treated, or even met. A case “ripped from the headlines,” if you like. The patient — we shall call him “Barry O.” — is not easy to diagnose with the level of confidence expected of our profession. His demeanor is reticent, even flat (he may suffer from minor, well-managed social anxiety disorder); he gives away nothing. We must guess at his motivations. That said, his pathology so threatens not only him but also millions of others (the number of potential casualties suggests a sociopathic aspect of his psychopathology), it behooves us to try to understand him, even if we cannot cure him. Before I make my remarks, I must disclose a personal interest — you might say bias — regarding this patient. While we can agree that analytic neutrality does not preclude human sympathy, the magnitude of my affection for this man, which persists in the face of all contrary evidence, can only be characterized as a countertransference ruled by florid fantasy. Yes, material for my own psychoanalysis. (Might I interest one of you in a session before cocktails?) But enough about my neurosis. Let us discuss the neurotic at hand. Barry O. is an ambitious, attractive and extraordinarily intelligent man occupying an elite position in national and global politics. At 49, he is in excellent physical health, careful about diet and exercise, meticulous in grooming, a devoted husband, a loving and attentive father, and a practicing Christian. Barry’s own father abandoned him when he was small; unsurprisingly, the boy idealized this absent progenitor and only later discovered that the man’s charm and accomplishment were marred by alcoholism and violence. But if the boy lacked paternal protection (which Freud named as an unsurpassed childhood need), he was blessed with an abundance of maternal adoration and disciplined encouragement. In short, Barry looks like a man with a strong, intact ego ruled by a powerful superego. Unfortunately, however, as Freud

reminded us, the ego is not master in its own house. Unconscious desire — the id — sits at the head of the psychic table. Or it tries to. Thus, in Barry we see titanic domestic battles between ego/superego and id: the conflict between loyalty to an unflaggingly loving and principled mother and the longing for the unattainable love of a dissolute, punishing father. The apparent desire and talent to win and the unconscious commitment losing. What are Barry’s presenting symptoms? Barry’s symptoms arrange themselves in a pattern whose predictability is matched only by its destructive and self-destructive sequelae. So predictable — and so often repeated — is this pattern that we could safely diagnose obsessive and compulsive elements. The pattern proceeds in three stages. Stage 1: Self-Protective Paralysis. Exhibiting an acute, even phobic, antipathy toward conflict (unsurprising in the child of this pair of parents), Barry avoids engagement in the debate that is a crucial, daily part of his job. He stays out of the fray, sometimes for months; he has been known to travel to other countries to avoid facing his opponents at home. Of course, conflict does not go away simply because one goes away from it. In fact, Barry’s absences allow the conflict to intensify; they also cede advantage to his adversaries. This behavior is the first evidence of his delusional ideation — even a sort of infantile grandiosity: Barry believes he can stop the world by getting off. He also believes — “wishes” might be a better word — that by hiding his face, he will be safe from criticism. Stage 2: Symbolic Matricide. This stage is far more self-destructive than its passive precedent. In it, Barry acts out the unconscious instinct to kill the mother in order to free himself of her voice, his superego. In this phase, Barry goes further than avoiding his foes. He actively rejects his friends, excluding them from his confidence, ignoring their advice and publicly denouncing their beliefs, which were, only recently, his own beliefs. The irrationality of this behavior is most pronounced when the majority also shares those beliefs, on both sides of the debate. (I betray no confidences in noting the latest example: the correctness of raising taxes on corporations and the rich.) In fact, like a toddler saying

On the public uses and abuses of emotion bY Judith Levine

His pathology so threatens not only him but also millions of others, it behooves us to try to understand him,

even if we cannot cure him. “No” to mommy, Barry boasts that he is incurring the wrath of his allies but that he can do it, whatever it is, all by himself. Stage 2A: Paternal Idealization. Having dispatched the good parent, Barry now tries to emulate, and win, the bad parent. He parrots his adversaries’ worldview, undertaking to secure the love and approval of those who despise him so fiercely that they are willing to risk, literally, the world to defeat him. Here, I cannot help but reference Bion’s observation of his psychotic patients, in whom arrogance clusters with curiosity (one of Barry’s healthier traits) and stupidity. Stage 3: The climax of Barry’s compulsive pattern — and by climax I am not denying the sexual connotation — is the enactment of his coprophilic masochism. Unable to continue avoiding conflict, yet still longing for the embrace of those who reject him, Barry finally engages. Once he is in the thick of it, though, his dead mother rises. His intelligence, competitive spirit — and morals — get the best of him or, rather, of his opponents, and he extracts some concessions from them. At this point, he prostrates himself and begs them to defecate on him. They oblige. Compromised and humiliated, Barry evinces the first relief — one might say jouissance — in this protracted anxious drama. He has united the split parental persona, the generous mother and the

cruel father. His sadistic partner has given him his id’s desire. Barry achieves a kind of resolution (until the next time, at least). And we as analysts are able to discern a coherence in this perplexing pattern — albeit the kind of deranged coherence that feels like sense to so many of our most gifted, yet troubled, patients. Can I recommend a treatment for Barry? I must admit, as I rarely do, that the quaint medicaments of our apothecary seem absurdly unequal to the harm our patient may wreak on himself and others. So I shall risk credibility and again depart from convention. My prescription: Speak to him, not as doctors but as Americans, in the strict, politically moral voice of his mother. Tell Barry what is right and what is wrong. Only such unambiguous direction will give him a shot at silencing the terrified and terroristic id and repairing the superego — arming the ego to do and say what, deep inside, he knows he should. Our profession’s own demanding patriarch called America a grandiose experiment that was destined to fail. For the sake of sanity, let us hope he was wrong. Thank you and enjoy your evening. m

Unlike collages, he explains, “Everything that’s on there is independent of what else is on the board.” No form of art is subservient to any other, “so poetry and art coexist as equals.” To wit, Mulholland’s truck displays a hodgepodge of seemingly unrelated works: sketches, paintings, aphorisms, philosophical ruminations, poetry and photographs of his other creations. Among the snapshots are one of a “plumber’s marriage bed” built from welded copper pipes; an 80-foot-long pedestrian bridge that spans a creek in Worcester, Vt.; and an unusual painting of Old Glory as an astrological chart for a nation “born” on July 4, 1776. The last, titled “Starry Eyed America,” was originally used in a performance piece Mulholland says he and two friends did on Flag Day in 1979 outside the Betsy Ross House in Philadelphia. The trio reenacted the fife-and-drum scene from the famous “Spirit of ’76” painting by Archibald MacNeal Willard. On that same day, Mulholland recalls explaining his

n recent months, many drivers in central Vermont have spotted a small, black pickup that looks as though it crashed into a bus-station kiosk and just kept on driving. The hand-painted 1994 Ford Ranger sports a white trident on each door and a pair of plastic-covered display panels mounted upright in its flatbed under a sign reading, “Bulletins from Neptune.” WTF? A new kiosk delivery service? A low-tech advertising campaign for Trident Seafoods fish sticks? A religious zealot announcing the ancient Roman holiday of Neptunalia, which falls on July 23? No, no and hell no. In fact, the roving bulletin boards are the handiwork of Tom Mulholland, 63, a Middlesex master plumber by trade and lifelong artist, sculptor and poet by avocation. Seven Days caught up with Mulholland recently at Burlington’s City Market, where he had stopped for dinner — strictly vegetarian,

he emphasizes, in a baritone that retains his native Long Island accent. As artists go, Mulholland exemplifies the adage “Don’t judge a book by its cover.” Huskily built, with meaty, workingman’s hands, and wearing a faded ball cap and black T-shirt, he looks the part of the stereotypical, rosy-cheeked plumber who shows up at your door at 7 a.m. to snake out a clogged toilet. So when Mulholland talks about consciousness-expanding meditation, astrological charts and the history of collage in the 20th century, it seems as incongruous as a drill sergeant reciting Shakespearean sonnets. Mulholland’s creative tendencies aren’t as uncharacteristic as they might at first appear. He moved to Vermont in 1966 to attend what was then Royalton College, now Vermont Law School. As a child of the ’60s, Mulholland admits he bought into the “tune in, turn on, drop out” philosophy. Two years later, however, married and with a first child on the way, he was “building [his] first hippie house and joining the working class.” Two more marriages, a six-year stint in France and several self-built homes (or “nest sculptures”) later, Mulholland was back in the states, on his own and spending his free time away from leaky faucets to pursue more creative endeavors. Mulholland’s truck, or “vehicle as

own painting to Buckminster Fuller, who happened to be giving a keynote address on the origins of the American flag. “He was also a Cancerian,” Mulholland notes. So why are Mulholland’s “bulletins” from Neptune? Simple, he says. “Neptune, astrologically speaking, governs the arts.” The reaction to his mobile-art installation — yes, it’s street legal, he says, and surprisingly aerodynamic, despite its size — has been mixed. Mulholland expresses some disappointment at how few locals have asked him about the truck, versus tourists and other travelers, who seem far more curious. “It’s inviting,” he says of his pickup. “Many times I’ve come out to my truck, and people are sitting on it.” Mulholland’s rolling canvas won’t be in Vermont for much longer. On August 10, he plans to drive it to Port Newark in New Jersey, where it will be loaded onto a freighter bound for Antwerp, Belgium, then driven around Europe for five weeks. Until the truck’s arrival there on September 1, Mulholland will be at a meditation retreat near Bangalore, India, where, he says, “I can invest in my consciousness.” Mulholland seems unfazed by the relatively scant attention his artwork has received thus far in Vermont; he says he expects a better reception in the Old World. “What’s that old saying?” he says. “‘A prophet can do no good in his own land.’” He also acknowledges an existential inevitability: His body won’t be able to handle the physical demands of plumbing work for much longer. “At age 63, I know I’m in Act III of my life,” he muses. “One doesn’t know when the final curtain call is going to come. And there is no encore.” m

he narrow dirt drive leading to Wellspring Farm is choked with parked cars. It’s farm share pick-up day, and folks have come to collect their bounty. One of those cars belongs to Barbara Dall, who lives in Montpelier. She has driven the 12 miles to Marshfield, just as she’s done every Monday during growing season for the past four years, to collect her vegetables. Upon arrival, Dall heads straight to the farm’s prim fields, bypassing the open-air shed that holds the bulk of that day’s vegetable share. With purpose, she hikes the short track up to the rows of sugar snap peas, which are jeweltone green and ready for picking. Dall bends to reach the peas, and they pop off their vines with ease. She fills her plastic bag with a quart of sugar snaps before moving on to a row of hearty basil. Dall plucks the plants from the earth and counts the leaves — 22, to be exact. Perfect for a homemade tomato-basil pizza, with enough left over for some pesto. She looks pleased. Dall walks back toward the Mimi Arnstein of cars, past fields of Wellspring Farm in blooming broccoli Marshfield. and febrile chard — the temperature

has crested in the high 80s. On her way to the shed, she stops to chat with farmer Mimi Arnstein about her culinary plans for the basil. Then Dall picks up the rest of her CSA, or community-supported agriculture, share. She loads up on zucchini, new potatoes, scallions, fresh garlic and salad greens. Herbie Hancock plays on the small boom box in the shed. When she leaves, Dall seems happy, nearly glowing, though that could just be the sun. Mondays are special for her, she says. It’s the day she can get a little dirty and participate in her local agricultural community. “I think it’s the best thing in the world,” Dall gushes, when asked about her Wellspring Farm CSA. “I know exactly where my meals are coming from. And I get to be talking to my farmer and have the whole experience. I get recipes, and I get my questions answered. I think it’s just perfect.” When Arnstein, who has been running Wellspring Farm since 2003, hears her members effervesce about her operation, she can’t help but beam. Fostering a sense of community with her members is one of her most pressing objectives as a farmer. Sure, she wants to grow good-looking radishes and cucumbers and responsibly steward the land. But equally important is connecting with CSA members. “We’re not just growing vegetables; we’re building community,” Arnstein says. Her certified organic operation is the very definition of community-supported agriculture. Not only are Arnstein’s 138 member families supporting the farm by providing much-needed cash flow in advance of the growing season, but they’re also participating in the process of growing food by harvesting some of the more labor-intensive vegetables as well as herbs and flowers, for themselves. Her niche in the expanding CSA marketplace, Arnstein says, is the “on-farm experience.” Pick-up days have a festive air. Members share recipes and cooking tips. Children play in the toy-filled sandbox. The act of farming is visible all around. Arnstein and her farm staff chat with members and get acquainted with

AGRICULTURE their families. To wit, she knows every member by name. While Wellspring Farm’s CSA may be the gold standard of local agriculture models, it’s not the only way to operate. Increasingly, as the number of CSAs around the state expands, so does the notion of just what a CSA is. Arnstein’s farm has clearly been successful at engaging its community in a meaningful way, and her model works for its members. But, for farms setting up new CSAs, it’s no longer enough just to offer a scheduled pick up of specific items. Farms have to get creative as competition for CSA consumers grows. Each year, about 20 new CSAs enter the marketplace in Vermont. To stand out, farms with CSAs must differentiate themselves by offering services that other farms don’t, from selling debit-like cards that members can use at farmers markets to offering members a chance to select their produce à la carte online. Some CSAs feature addons with products such as maple syrup and cheese. Others offer modest shares for single folks or couples. Still others provide year-round options that come as close to encompassing a full diet as possible. In many parts of the country, just selling CSA shares would set a farm apart. But for CSA farmers in Vermont, providing a niche service is increasingly essential.

“I’m constantly in awe of the creativity in the farming community,” says the New Farmer Project’s Holtzman. “I like to think we help with that.”

imi Arnstein came to farming in her late twenties after having a lifechanging experience at an organic farm outside Boston. She had volunteered to help harvest, and as she picked tomatoes, she became overwhelmed by the sensory experience of farming. The feel of the hot sun on her skin, the smell of the loamy earth beneath her feet and the sensation of the silky tomato in her hand all helped set in motion a drastic life change. Arnstein, who was working in academic affairs at a university at the time, continued volunteering at that farm and later moved to Vermont to apprentice at Intervale Community Farm. She acknowledges she’s perhaps a bit overly romantic about farm life. But, says the 38-year-old, it’s part of what makes her job possible. “You need the romance and the dream, because [farming] is hard,” she says. The petite, 5-foot-tall Arnstein is a spitfire of energy. During a recent Monday pick up, she talks to every member she sees. “Hey, Barb! How’s the picking?” she asks longtime member Dall. “It’s great,” Dall responds, her hands laden with produce. For Arnstein, this is exactly what CSA farming should be about — personal connection. It’s what initially sparked her desire to farm. “One of the reasons I’m so interested in having a farm like this is because this is how agriculture changed my life,” she says. “I crave connection, and this is the way I get it.” Arnstein chose to run a traditional CSA because she would rather spend her time feeding her community than shipping produce and dealing with retail markets. But it isn’t so easy to sell a CSA share, especially in a rural area where most residents have significantly SHARING THE BOUNTY

in Connecticut, Maine, New Hampshire and 18 other states. With such a sparsely populated state showing numbers like that, it may seem that Vermont has reached a CSA saturation point. But Jean Hamilton, food security and marketing coordinator for NOFA-VT, insists it hasn’t. “I think it’s really important that we regularly pick our heads up off the ground and say, yes, there are over 100 CSAs and more and more farmers markets every day, but at the same time, we’re just a tiny, tiny fraction of the food market in Vermont,” she says. “The nice thing about CSA as a concept is it’s pretty nimble and flexible, and there’s lots of diversity that’s moving farms in different ways.” The number of CSA permutations on offer in Vermont these days is mind boggling. Perhaps the best known is Pete’s Greens in Craftsbury, a successful and sprawling operation that distributes a broad range of shares throughout Chittenden, Lamoille, Orleans and Washington counties. Its Localvore Share combines produce from the farm with value-added goods from area producers. Then there’s the workplace model, such as the CSA offered by the Rutland Area Farm & Food Link (RAFFL), which provides shares to employees of large area businesses. Some farms, such as the year-old Freedom and Unity Farm in Richmond, offer members 110 percent of their investment in store credit to use at the farm stand, in lieu of a set box of produce every week. Tangletown Farm in Middlesex provides shares of meat such as rabbit, guinea fowl and pheasant, while Bread & Butter Farm in South Burlington, though not a full-service CSA, offers raw-milk shares. Some CSAs, such as yourfarmstand.com, aren’t associated with any particular farm and operate only online. And some Vermont farms even operate out-of-state CSAs. Holton Farms in Westminster, one of the larger CSA operations in the state, serves CSA members in the New York City area exclusively.

ommunity-supported agriculture first emerged in the 1960s concurrently in Japan and Europe. Farmers began selling shares of their business early in the season in exchange for weekly boxes of mixed produce that shareholders picked up on the farm or at a drop-off location. The direct sales helped stabilize farmers’ incomes and support sustainable growing practices, as well as buttress the farms against crop failure. With CSAs, the growers and the consumers shared the risks and rewards of farming. And, says Beth Holtzman, outreach coordinator for the University of Vermont Extension’s New Farmer Project, CSAs “allow [the farmer] to focus more on growing during the growing season.” The CSA model took root in the

United States in the mid-1980s, when a Swiss farmer named Jan Vander Tuin introduced the concept to a farm in Massachusetts. Since then, the model’s popularity has exploded in this country: There are now close to 13,000 CSAs in operation nationwide, according to the 2007 USDA Census of Agriculture. While CSA is a smart model for many smaller-scale, diversified farms, it’s also a good deal for consumers. They get access to fresh, local produce (and, increasingly, meats, milk, cheese and other value-added ag products) while establishing a connection to the land and the people who farm it. CSA consumers typically also get a deal in terms of cost. Farm shares tend to offer a 10 to 20 percent savings over retail markets. Arnstein, of Wellspring Farm, provides a weekly breakdown of the shares’ value to her members, who on average see a 12 percent savings over retail, she says. Vermont has long been at the apex of direct agricultural product sales and currently leads the nation in that category, with $36.77 spent annually per capita at farm stands, farmers markets and CSAs. Since 2000, the number of CSAs in Vermont has grown by 500 percent, according to the Northeast Organic Farming Association of Vermont. At present, NOFA-VT estimates, more than 120 CSAs are operating in the state. In the 2007 USDA Census, 165 Vermont farms reported marketing products through community-supported agriculture, though not all of those farms run their own CSAs. That’s more than

After talking with some friends, she and Miller discovered a need that current CSAs weren’t satisfying. Single people and couples without children said they’d be interested in a CSA if it weren’t for the expense and the quantity of produce. Those who did have such CSAs complained that they couldn’t use the vegetables they received, either because the share was too big or because they didn’t know how to prepare more exotic products, such as kohlrabi. “We wanted to create a new share idea for people who can’t afford $400 shares but want a CSA and want to be part of a farm,” Miller says. Samara Farm’s summer shares cost $275 each. Miller and Francoeur also reasoned that setting themselves apart from the standard CSA was essential in order to succeed. Otherwise, why would anyone choose their unproven farm share over an established CSA? Through aggressive grassroots marketing and word of mouth, the couple signed up new members that fit their target demographic. They exceeded their goal of 75 and now have 81 members. Half of them never had a CSA before, and many are couples with children who are using the Samara share as a supplement. Four are working members who get summer and winter shares in exchange for five hours of sweat equity per week on the farm. On a recent weekday, worker-member Heather Reed helps Francoeur and Miller weed rows of potatoes. Because, like many farmers at the Intervale, their fields flooded in the early part of the season, the pair had to replant many of their vegetables. As a result, they got off to a slow start. The weeds are ahead of them in places, so an extra set of hands is welcome. So far, Samara’s

small-share CSA seems to be a success. Members are happy, and a number of them have volunteered at the farm and participated in on-farm events such as seeding and onion-planting parties. For those who don’t care to get their hands dirty, multifarm operations such as the Intervale Food Hub offer farm-fresh produce delivered to their workplace, no pick up or buy-in required. For that convenience, Food Hub members tend to pay a little more than traditional CSA members do — the basic summer vegetable shares cost $550; with add-ons they can run up to $925. But for people who value their time above all else, the solution is perfect. The Intervale Food Hub began as a research project of the Intervale Center and the UVM Center for Rural Studies in 2007, which examined the barriers to CSA participation among Chittenden County households. At the time, says Food Hub director Sona Desai, 4 percent of survey respondents in the county had CSA shares. Of those who didn’t, 38 percent said they would like to have a farm share if it were more accessible. “It seemed like there was a demand, if we could make it convenient,” Desai says. When the Food Hub officially launched in 2008, the goal was not to compete with existing CSAs. So, like

We wanted to create a new share idea for people who can’t afford $400 shares but want a CSA and want to be part of a farm.

RAFFL in Rutland County, the Hub went for an untapped market in the area — workplaces. Staffers contacted larger employers, including GE Healthcare, Vermont Student Assistance Corporation and Dealer.com, and offered farm shares to employees. Eighty-five percent of those who joined the Food Hub in its first year had never participated in a CSA. Unlike single-farm shares, such as those of Wellspring or Samara, shares from the Food Hub contain products from 22 different producers. Its 325 members might get maple syrup from Dragonfly Sugarworks in Huntington, salad greens from Hazendale Farm in Greensboro, cheese from the Mount Mansfield Creamery in Morrisville or butternut squash from Rockville Market Farm in Starksboro, depending on which share they buy. This variety can be appealing to people who feel constrained by traditional produce shares. The Food Hub model isn’t just good for busy consumers. It saves its producers from having to grow 40 different crops or manage a CSA membership (though some of the farms do operate their own CSAs). Nor do they have to organize pick-up boxes or deal with member problems. That’s Desai’s job. For farmers, the Food Hub works like a guaranteed wholesale market, except that the price they get for their products is slightly higher. Since 2008, the Food Hub has grown by 65 percent annually. That’s an aggressive growth curve, says Desai, and one that she hopes will continue as the Hub, which currently serves mostly Burlington workplaces, pushes out into areas such as Shelburne and Williston. Eventually, Desai says, she would

less disposable income than those in cities and towns. This year, for the first time since she’s been running the farm, Arnstein lost members, down from 160 last year. The average turnover rate for CSAs is 30 percent. Arnstein attributes the attrition to an anemic economy and the fact that more people have taken up gardening and don’t need a share. Some just wanted to try a new farm. Regularly, Arnstein surveys her members to determine why they’ve joined and what they’re interested in seeing from their CSA. To the first inquiry, most people respond that they want to know their farmer and support local agriculture. But Arnstein suspects that just as important, if not more so, is members’ sense that they’re getting some sort of deal. By giving away surplus produce, providing recipes and offering incentives for current members to bring in new ones, Arnstein tries to make her CSA worth their money. But Arnstein’s farm isn’t for everyone. Not every CSA customer needs or wants to feel like part of a farm community. Nor can everyone use the generous amount of product that comes in a Wellspring share. That’s why Amie Francoeur and her partner, Jen Miller, started Samara Farm, a small-share, certified organic CSA and the Intervale’s newest agricultural venture. Francoeur and Miller, both 29, previously worked on farms with large CSAs, including Intervale Community Farm and Jericho Settlers’ Farm. At those farms, the pair learned how to run a traditional CSA, but when they decided to strike out on their own, they made theirs a little different. “We wanted to make food more affordable by doing smaller shares,” says Francoeur, a soft-spoken woman with a bright smile.

On the contrary, she suggests, it’s providing these farms with new customers by turning people on to the CSA concept. A handful of Food Hub members leave after their first year to take part in traditional farm shares. Desai thinks there’s room for her operation and CSAs such as Wellspring or Samara to coexist. “I don’t think we have saturated the marketplace,” she says. “But you have to be more creative.

As the CSA model continues to grow to meet the needs of consumers, so will its importance in the local food system. In Vermont’s new Farm to Plate Strategic Plan, a 10-year initiative to shore up and expand the state’s food system, CSAs play a critical role in achieving one of the key objectives: getting more Vermonters to consume locally produced food. “We need to encourage CSAs to continue,” says Erica Campbell, program director for the Farm to Plate initiative, a collaborative project spearheaded by the Vermont Sustainable Jobs Fund. “That may mean supporting them with marketing, distribution or other needs. I think it’s a great model for farmers to connect with consumers.” In the future, Campbell guesses the CSA model will expand to include more à la carte operations and online brokerage sites that allow consumers access to a wide selection of Vermont products. And, ideally, some of the medium-sized farm operations will scale up to meet the demands of larger retail and wholesale markets through pre-buy contracts similar to the CSA model. But, no matter how the CSA model changes, farms like Wellspring that offer consumers a close connection to the land and the people who farm it will always be attractive. Perhaps not to everyone, but certainly to people who want to participate in their local agricultural community and don’t mind getting a little dirty.

RADIO

What Would Jesus Broadcast?

A Christian radio network spreads its message in Vermont, one frequency at a time B y A ndy Br om a ge

ermont might seem an unlikely place to find a thriving Christian radio chain. For starters, the Green Mountain State memorably tied New Hampshire for least religious in the nation in a 2009 Pew Research Center survey. Just about a third of Vermonters told pollsters that religion was “very important” in their lives, and almost half said they didn’t believe in God with certainty. Plus, the antigay and pro-life preaching that tends to accompany Christian programming would seem unwelcome in liberal Vermont — which has twice led the nation in establishing legal rights for same-sex couples. But, from a modest studio in downtown Essex Junction, a locally

owned Christian radio chain has been defying the odds for more than two decades. Since 1986, the Light Radio Network has been broadcasting contemporary Christian music and evangelical “teaching programs” to Vermont and New Hampshire — the two most secular states in America — as well as New York and parts of Québec. Any Vermonter who has scanned the low end of the FM dial has probably stopped on the Light or its sister station, the Wave. It’s where you hear syndicated Christian programs such as “Focus On the Family” and “Turning Point,” along with contemporary Christian artists you could easily mistake for John Mayer — until, that is, you realize they’re singing

about the body of Christ, and not the body of a naked woman. With 11 frequencies stretching from Burlington (91.5) to Brattleboro (91.9), and Newport (96.5) to Woodstock/ Rutland (91.7), the nonprofit Light Radio Network occupies more real estate on the FM dial than any other station except Vermont Public Radio. Next week, the network will close on a deal to purchase its 12th frequency, 90.5 WFTF-FM in Rutland, which it is buying from a church that has owned the frequency for 25 years. WFTF will broadcast the Wave, the network’s allmusic station, because the talk-heavy Light already reaches the Rutland area on 91.7 FM. The network has grown so much,

says general manager Ric McClary, that it’s getting hard to fit the name of every frequency into the 30-second stationidentification breaks. McClary credits God with allowing the chain to expand, but shrewd business moves have certainly helped. In 2006, the station agreed to sell one of its frequencies, 90.9 FM, to VPR for a whopping $1.1 million. Though McClary says some conservative-leaning Light listeners viewed that as “selling out to the devil,” the proceeds from the sale allowed the station to rebuild some of its transmitter facilities and begin broadcasting in high definition. “Some people said, ‘How could you sell a Christian station to that evil organization, Vermont Public Radio?’ And they call it Vermont Propaganda Radio,” McClary recalls. “And I say, ‘You know, it’s purely business.’” VPR may dwarf the Light in terms of broadcast power, audience and fundraising capacity, but the fact that a Christian chain survives at all in this market is noteworthy, says Jim Condon, executive director of the Vermont Association of Broadcasters. “There are so many radio stations in the Burlington/Plattsburgh market that there’s a lot of competition. It’s not easy to turn a profit,” Condon says. “You’d have to consider them a radio success.” What is now the Light Radio Network was founded in 1986 by Essex real estate developer Alex McEwing, then a 26-year-old college graduate. With help from investors, including his parents, who owned a heating-oil business, McEwing purchased a small FM station in Waterbury and started airing Christian music and talk programs under the name Family Broadcasting. The station’s call letters were WJLY — for “Jesus Loves You.” “The heart of what we were trying to do was bring Christian radio to Vermont in a way that hadn’t been done,” says McEwing. “We wanted to make it relevant to people’s lives so that when they tuned in, it was like, ‘Wow. The music means something. It hits home. My faith is restored so that I can move forward with the day and whatever struggles I might have to address — whether it’s dealing with the toddler or the teenager.’” To reach more people, McEwing eventually migrated the station to two high-powered commercial frequencies, including 103.3 FM. But he says it was “incredibly difficult” to sell enough advertising to support the station, so in the mid-’90s he established a nonprofit network of stations under the name Christian Ministries Inc. That chain

The answer he heard was broadcasting school. Today, the 59-year-old McClary is a 30-year radio veteran with a velvetsmooth baritone that would make Casey Kasem turn his head. After years working in secular radio — as a news director in small-town Minnesota, a talk-show host in Salt Lake City and a program director in Yakima, Wash. — he landed in Vermont in 2002 to helm the Light network.

McClary says. Making them listeners is a far tougher sell. “We’re not in the Bible Belt,” observes McClary. “There’s a large community in New England that would consider us to be fundamentalist or fanatical. I wouldn’t be surprised to come to work some day and find protesters outside the station.” No protests have materialized so far, but McClary says the station

Mcclary credits God

with allowinG the chain to expand, but shrewd business moves have certainly helped.

With his board’s backing, McClary started buying up translators on noncommercial frequencies to expand the Light’s signal. He also launched the Wave on a low-wattage FM frequency in Burlington that was just powerful enough to reach its target demographic: students at St. Michael’s and Champlain colleges and the University of Vermont. Reaching them was the easy part,

occasionally hears complaints after airing announcements for the Vermont Right to Life Committee, one of the network’s underwriters and a vocal opponent of abortion rights, same-sex marriage and other liberal causes. The station doesn’t shy away from addressing lifestyles it considers to be wrong, such

as homosexuality, McClary says. But when it does so, he says, “It’s not like it becomes a half hour of beating the pulpit and saying, ‘Homosexuals are wrong and they’re going to hell.’ It’s a loving presentation of what the Bible says.” McClary isn’t just preaching the gospel on the Light — he’s taking the show on the road. In recent years, he’s gone on several missionary trips to distribute handheld, solar-powered radios to “gypsies” in Eastern Europe and Christians in Morocco. The radios are manufactured in North Carolina and frequency-locked to Trans World Radio, which broadcasts Christian programming internationally in several languages. “It’s like a missionary in a box,” McClary says. Here in Vermont, the Light network aims to expand to new towns — a goal that depends on turning more listeners into donors. Since 2002, the network has increased the haul from its annual “Sharathon” from $88,000 to $220,000. With sustained listener support, McClary hopes the Light can purchase new translators to break into more markets. In his office, he has a map of Vermont with sticky notes on three towns he’s targeted for a frequency: St. Albans, Middlebury and Ludlow. “We actually have one in Ludlow now, so this can come off,” McClary says, as he peels that sticky note off the map. “It was one of our desires. This area of the state did not have very good Christian radio stations covering it.” m

later became the Light, funded by listener donors and underwriters such as the Fold Family Ministries in Lyndonville, a Christian residential care facility for troubled teens. By 1998, McEwing was forced to sell the commercial stations to repay his investors — primarily members of his family. With its reach diminished, the Light was left to rebuild through a series of lower-powered FM stations and numerous “translators” that relay a radio signal by receiving it and then converting it to a different frequency. That task fell to McClary. The son of a radio engineer, McClary is the public face of the Light and the voice of its one-hour midday music show. Bob Pierce hosts the station’s threehour morning show. Aside from those two locally produced programs — and a few segments from local pastors — all content, 20 hours a day, is syndicated programming beamed in from Nashville and other locales. The Light’s total audience is 22,000 listeners, according to McClary, with 12,000 of those residing in Chittenden County. Raised in Minnesota and North Dakota, McClary was a high school dropout who left home at age 15 and spent “a couple of years” living on the streets before, he says, “accepting Christ as my personal lord and savior” when he was 18. “I was kind of a bum. A long-haired, rock-and-roll bum,” McClary recalls. “I wasted a lot of years getting loaded and being a directionless wanderer. It took me a number of years to really pull that together and say, ‘God, what do you want me to do?’”

The back of BigTown Gallery

n the Vermont map, the tiny village of Rochester lies between Killington and Sugarbush in the twisting Route 100 corridor, nestled in a narrow, lush valley against a chunk of the Green Mountain National Forest. When Anni Mackay chose to call her artistic digs in Rochester the BigTown Gallery, she had a little irony in mind. But there’s also a bit of truth in the name, because a visit to Rochester uncovers a town that lives larger than its size would suggest. Mackay has had a hand in that, creating a space for the community to gather not just for visual art but for a wide variety of performances. The gallery’s seasonal sidekick, the BigTown BigTent Summer Festival of Poetry, Music and Performing Arts, began last Saturday with an opening reception and “starlight” dance. The eclectic series, which also offers jazz, a local talent night, readings, magic, and a drumming and voice workshop and show, runs weekends through Sunday, July 31. With all of this and the town’s other amenities — a spacious, shady green; vintage country store with a soda fountain; bookstore/café; and local pub and fine-dining fare — Mackay sees Rochester as an idyllic summer-evening destination. The vivacious fortysomething with curly tresses and a warm demeanor is a self-avowed risk taker, admitting she started the gallery with little more than a dream and a “build it and they will come” attitude. Though Rochester is not exactly on the beaten path, “they” have indeed come. On Saturday, Mackay wandered among many visitors and patrons who hailed from the DartmouthWest Lebanon nexus, up and down the Route 100 corridor, and farther afield. “I’ve been to the gallery many, many times,” said Mara Sabinson, a Dartmouth College theater professor. “I love it; I love Rochester.” That’s a refrain you hear often, offered Rick Skogsberg, an artist and former software designer who came to Rochester at age 21 in 1969. He was on hand at BigTown to help out on the mini-fest’s opening night. “Rochester’s a really cool town. The more I live here, the more I appreciate

it,” Skogsberg said. “There’s a lot of creative people here.” That assessment most certainly includes Mackay. The BigTown BigTent festival — this summer marks the third one — is an ambitious undertaking that fits her conviction that arts are essential to the health and vibrancy of any community. Mackay had different personal expectations when she landed in Vermont in 1996. She was in no way prepared for the pace of life in Rochester — read: slow — compared with the tempo of cities she had lived in around the U.S. Mackay moved across the pond from her native Britain a decade earlier and earned a degree in fine arts from SUNY Purchase. But, while living in New York, and working for printmaker Kenneth Tyler, she met some “interesting people” from Vermont and followed them north to map out a new path for her life. “At first, I was sort of in shock for about a year,” she says with a faint British accent. “When I got here I came with a fairly high speed and had to sort of slow down and see what was happening here.” And it was actually quite a lot. Rochester’s vibrant theater group, the White River Valley Players, has knitted together the town of 1100 with community productions since 1979, and the Rochester Chamber Music Society has provided a musical focus since the early 1990s. Discovering the surprising artistic energy in town, Mackay saw an opening for someone like herself with a passion for the visual arts. Opening a commercial art gallery anywhere in Vermont is a fraught enterprise, even more so when the owner is trying it for the first time, and far from touristy towns such as Manchester and Woodstock. But when a rundown, historic 1912 building at the north end of downtown came on the market in 2004, Mackay, then a stay-at-home mom who was making “exotic wearables” as a sideline, decided to take a leap. “I just started it to see what might happen,” she says. “I didn’t really know who would come.” What Mackay birthed (more irony alert: the building once housed a birthing center) continues to resonate in

this place where it’s elitism,” she says. The same might be said of her BigTent series. “There’s a part of me that really loves to showcase people,” Mackay explains, reflecting that all of us have an artistic impulse that needs to be nurtured, opened and tapped as part of a basic human connection. “I’m really interested in the story, ultimately.” m

things. The exhibit included harmonica cases; the whimsical postcards that Tunbridge filmmaker John O’Brien has sent to patrons and friends; and a portrait of Woodstock collector and painter Margaret Lampe Kannenstine by Felix de la Concha, commissioned for the exhibit, along with a video of de la Concha painting the portrait. It was both a collection of collectors and a collective effort on Mackay’s part: She had to contact the 40 individuals to whom O’Brien had sent his postcards and persuade them to loan the cards to the exhibit. That personal, dynamic idea of what art is informs Mackay’s thinking and what she showcases in her gallery. It’s all part of her effort to “get art down from

this town. Local architect Robert Melik Finkle designed a striking renovation with a circular front “window” façade, stone patios and a three-story silo/ tower in back. The shingled building is both gallery and living space for Mackay and her husband, Doon Hinderyckx. He owns Green Mountain Bikes right next door in this mountain-biking mecca. Clearly, neither has much of a commute. BigTown Gallery has hosted numerous compelling exhibits since opening in 2005; Mackay has a good eye and a gift for creative curation. The opening last week showcased collageconstructions of octogenarian Varujan Boghosian, a longtime studio arts professor at Dartmouth College and a Guggenheim fellow. In a clever tie-in, his works were paired with those of Erick Hufschmid, whose 18 small, detailed photos captured items in Boghosian’s studio — a photographic collage, as it were. Mackay had a role in inspiring Hufschmid, a New Hampshire native, to begin a series that would “photograph and document” the studios of known artists; his images in this exhibit initiate that project. The BigTent’s kickoff performance started with the unusual shadow dancing of Bridgman/Packer Dance, which took place under the stars in a lovely little natural amphitheater behind the gallery. The other events this summer, among them a reading by Vermont poet Ellen Bryant Voigt, a show by Lincoln-based Magicians Without Borders and music by the Lew Soloff jazz ensemble, will take place under a lighted tent that is the festival’s namesake. The previous festivals broke even, but this year’s is more ambitious and costly to put on, Mackay confides. The crowd for the dance performance was small, but she’s determined to build an audience and to “do something special” to connect people to the arts. Mackay credits her patrons, especially Larry Norton and his wife, Rachel, for supporting the festival, as well as her own determination to bring artists and the community together in unusual ways. Last summer, for example, her “Collectors Show I” put on display the instinctive human tendency to collect

Funerary stela

hirty years ago, I bought a brown fedora and a sparkly blue scarf from Burlington’s Old Gold — an innocent-seeming purchase that was actually a testament to obsession. I alone knew both items were talismans of my love for the justreleased retro adventure film Raiders of the Lost Ark. (The fedora needs no explanation; the scarf resembled the one Marion Ravenwood wore when she slugged Indiana Jones in the jaw.) In those naïve, pre-Internet days, I surmised I was the biggest Indy fan in Lamoille County, probably in Vermont, possibly anywhere. Just as kids today dream of attending Hogwarts, I yearned to decipher ancient inscriptions, thwart Nazis and drink an enormous Nepalese man under the table. I would never have shared this fantasy with my middle school classmates. But, three decades and three more Indy movies later, I had no problem discussing it with fellow adult Sophie Desbiens, communications project manager for Montréal’s X3 Productions. Desbiens was publicizing a traveling exhibition designed by her company, “Indiana Jones and the Adventure of Archaeology,” which is currently on view at the Montréal Science Centre.

But it was hard to doubt her personal Indy fan credentials as she talked fervently about watching the actual Lost Ark of the Covenant (well, the prop that represented it) arrive in a wooden crate, just like in the movie. Like me, Desbiens remembered the release of the first film and embracing Marion Ravenwood as a role model: “She kicked ass!” It may well be true, as spoilsport critics noted back in 1981, that Raiders is just a blown-up version of old-time movie serials; that it ushered in an age of dumbed-down blockbusters; and that real archaeology is more about cataloging pottery shards than outrunning bullets and boulders. But tell that to the people of all ages who lined up for “Indiana Jones and the Adventure of Archaeology” on a recent Friday afternoon. For better or worse, the bullwhipswinging archaeologist still inspires major fan love. Would the one-of-a-kind exhibit, in Montréal on its first and only North American stop, spur me to buy another fedora? I’d come to find out. Initiated by Lucasfilm to celebrate the 30th anniversary of its lucrative property, “Indiana Jones” is an attempt to marry Hollywood glitz and fan nostalgia to an educational mission. It’s got original props, costumes and movie clips, all on loan from George Lucas. But it’s also got real artifacts and archaeological documents, courtesy of

the National Geographic Society and the Penn Museum. As visitors enter the exhibit, no less an authority than Harrison Ford informs them, in a recorded greeting, that the four Indy films “helped inspire a generation of young scientists to delve into our collective past.” In other words, just as dolphin flicks make kids vow to study marine biology (until they realize how much math is involved), Indy breeds new archaeologists. To further this worthy aim, and to give adult visitors facts to go with their fiction, the exhibition’s creators have balanced each “fun,” movie-focused section of “Indiana Jones” with a redmeat introduction to the real-life techniques of archaeological investigation. An interactive game aims to keep younger visitors engaged through the educational stretches by giving them simple challenges that make them think like fledgling archaeologists. All this is tied together by the exhibition’s high-tech format — which, depending on how comfortable you are consulting a smartphone-like device in a room full of people and visual distractions, is either a blessing or a curse. At the entrance to “Indiana Jones,” each visitor receives an “interactive video companion,” a device about the size of an early-’80s Texas Instruments calculator, enclosed in a leather-look, Indy-esque pouch with a wrist strap. Inside the exhibit hall you can simply wander from display case to display case in the traditional manner, learning about objects from their accompanying legends. But you can also enter codes on the device’s touch screen, as instructed by signs, and watch supplementary video presentations in the palm of your hand. Naturally, the audio is available in both English and French. For instance, take the case exhibiting the costume that actress Karen Allen wore when she played Marion in Raiders’ bar scene. After I’d gawked at the mannequin long enough to register that Marion’s opulent, Nepalese-style scarf was nothing like the one I’d bought at Old Gold, I entered a code and watched a “making of” featurette from which I learned that the Himalayan bar set and Styrofoam snow were nearly immolated during shooting.

Meanwhile, above me, a flat screen looped clips from the scene in question. I plugged in another code, and my device gave me the movie’s audio. I could watch a funky 1930s seltzer bottle appear on screen and glance down to find the very same prop bottle displayed in front of me. For a movie nerd, these aha! moments compensated for the overload sensation of having my attention simultaneously demanded by shiny physical objects, texts and multiple screens. I gazed at the golden statuette Indy pilfered in the first film’s opening sequence (a prop that, Desbiens later assured me, is “very heavy”) and learned from my device that it was based on an archaeological hoax, a fake fertility idol manufactured in the 19th century. I marveled at Kate Capshaw’s stunning dress from her nightclub number in the second movie, then discovered that it was stitched with actual 1920s and ’30s sequins, “eaten by elephants,” and reconstructed — but was now so tight the actress could barely move. And I realized I’d forgotten pretty much everything that happened in Indy 3 (“the one with Sean Connery”) and Indy 4 (“the one with aliens and CGI”). Young fans — of whom there were many at the exhibition — may bring a whole different perspective. I asked Desbiens whether the kids who pointed excitedly at the vintage Harley ridden by Shia LaBeouf’s character in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008) had even seen the original Raiders. Often they have, she said, thanks to a parent: “It’s handed down by the dad, typically. They’re excited by the adventure part of it.” The kids were excited, for sure — many played the interactive game, which involved solving puzzles on the handheld device or swiping it over physical features of the exhibit. In the gift shop, said Desbiens, they snapped up felt fedoras and plastic bullwhips. But were they being educated? “Indiana Jones” doesn’t boast any awe-inspiring non-Hollywood artifacts. There’s nothing to compete with, say, the Aztec and Maya halls of the American Museum of Natural History, which are as atmospheric as any haunted tomb explored by Indy. But, for visitors who didn’t mind the congestion in these narrow subsections of the exhibit — which alternate

record of creating touring and permanent museum installations from Singapore to Strasbourg. “Indiana Jones” was designed specifically for such overseas markets, said Desbiens, but “we wanted to open it in our hometown.” So Americans who crave a glimpse into George Lucas’ treasure trove will need to cross the border. The exhibit, which takes about two hours to peruse — more, if you sink time into the substantial National Geographic video segments — offers both fans and nonfans plenty to look at, even if it doesn’t delve particularly deep into the archaeological process. But then, that wasn’t what I’d come for. The “artifact” that fascinated me most was a Hollywood production designer’s architectural drawing of the famous “rolling ball sequence” from the Raiders opening. It featured cryptic inscriptions in spare, Al Hirschfeld-esque handwriting, such as “Clitoral type stalactites” and (beside the temple’s face-like entrance) “Note: Teeth to be knocked out on Impact.” The careful sketch, now eclipsed by its filmic realization, was a reminder of all the layers of unsung craftsmanship that go into the look and feel of a movie that sticks with us through the decades. As cultural monuments go, Raiders isn’t Machu Picchu or the pyramids, but for me, digging into those strata was worth the price of admission.

with the larger, moviedevoted rooms — the “real archaeology” was illuminating enough. The first educational segment, called “Discovery: Objects in Context,” introduced us to a group of “real-life Indys” who documented discoveries such as Machu Picchu for early 20th-century National Geographic, making them the “scientific rock stars of their day.” After a spoon-fed explanation of the painstaking process of multilayer excavation and stratigraphy came a section on “Decoding and Analysis.” Here we got to peruse a funerary stela bearing mysterious symbols, and to learn how intrepid investigator Tatiana Proskouriakoff decoded the glyphs of the Maya. (Her process wasn’t exactly action packed, but impressive all the same.) A third section, paired with the goofy, nine-foot movie aliens of Crystal Skull, examined how archaeologists explore “the Unexplained,” using the giant geoglyphs of the Peruvian Nazca people as an example. Finally, “Local Archaeology: Welcome Home” showed visitors the fruit of digs in the Montréal area. While the familiar results were a bit underwhelming — Native American stone tools, blue-and-white 19th-century pottery — they brought home the point that archaeology isn’t always about collecting glittering prizes. Or about quipping, dodging and shooting. After it leaves Montréal in September, “Indiana Jones” will proceed to 11 more major cities in Europe, Asia and Australia, said Desbiens. On each stop, the “Local Archaeology” section will be revamped so the globe-trotting exhibit brings visitors “back home to where [they] are.” It’s only because of a lucky accident, Desbiens added, that North Americans have a chance to see the exhibit at all.

Saints and Sinners Theater review: Tenderloin B y El i sabe t h C r ean

he growing popularity of the annual Blackfly Festival is one reason Vermonters ask, “How do you get there from here?” about the tiny, unincorporated village of Adamant. And, for nearly 70 summers, music connoisseurs have quietly found their way to the central Vermont hamlet to enjoy classical concerts from piano students and world-renowned teachers at the Adamant Music School. Less well known than the pests and pianists, the theater company QuarryWorks provides a third motivation to go. Many theater troupes in Vermont make stage magic in all kinds of creaky converted structures — barns, churches, town halls. QuarryWorks performs in a fantastic venue: the Phillips Experimental Theater, a true black-box space. Audience capacity is 50, and the “worst” seat in the house is just 10 yards from the stage. QuarryWorks capitalizes on the considerable strengths of its environs for the musical Tenderloin (1960), the opening production of this summer’s season. Excellent acoustics and sight lines draw the audience into the ensemble’s energetic execution of playful tunes and cornball comedy. The play opens with a fiery sermon by the Reverend Dr. Brock. It’s New York City in the 1890s, and there’s a whole lotta sinning going on. The Rev gets especially revved up about Manhattan’s red-light district — “a present-day Sodom and Gomorrah” — called the Tenderloin. Brothels and gambling and corruption, oh my! Doc Brock’s preaching rattles the cops and pols on the take, as well as the hardworking “working girls.” Scandal-sheet reporter Tommy Howatt joins the church choir with a covert mission to spy on the holy rollers. The shady sergeant who profits nicely from the Tenderloin’s vice wants Tommy to dig up dirt to use against Brock. But the prim parson really does live an upright life. He extols, in song, the joys of “Good Clean Fun” such as taffy pulls and weenie roasts. Seriously. Tommy is touched by the earnestness

of Brock and his parishioners, and he soon falls for sweet church member Laura. But his budding connection to the do-gooders conflicts with obligations to his bad-boy buds on the street. Battle lines surrounding the Tenderloin, once clear, begin to blur as newfound relationships take priority over principles. Director Michael John Suchomel does a remarkable job employing an ensemble of 10 to cover the show’s dozens of roles. (Tenderloin’s Broadway premiere boasted a 44-person cast.) Only three lead actors play a single character: the preacher, reporter and cop. The other performers double and triple up as sinners and saints, wearing base layers of black as they change costume elements between song-anddance numbers. Costumer Charis Churchill crafted

clever details that allow the actors to transform their appearance quickly and dramatically. Demure female parishioners hitch up long, black skirts to reveal racy fishnets, and peel back black leotard tops to show scanty camisoles. Voilà! Church ladies become ladies of the evening. Changes take place quietly onstage, with performers sitting on stools facing away from the audience. Countless costume swaps happen during the show, but Suchomel carefully orchestrates the dressing and undressing so it doesn’t distract from the action. Tenderloin features some catchy tunes with a fun, faux-1890s flair. Music director Eliza Thomas on keyboards and Sean Beatty on percussion stylishly render the score. They play from an upper level above and slightly behind the stage, which means the singers hear

them easily and project clearly above the instrumentation. Whether singing or sermonizing, G. Richard Ames plays Rev. Brock with power and conviction. His eyes beam with piety and his voice booms with righteousness. Ames’ expressive, expansive bass vocals resonate in the cozy space. Eric R. Hill, as Tommy, also has nice pipes, with a warm tone and lyrical technique. He paints a broad comic picture of his character, who wears under the strain of trying to manipulate both sides. Hill’s voice pairs beautifully in duets with both Ames and Lynne Dumais, who plays Tommy’s love interest, Laura. Dumais brings freshness and sincerity to her portrait of Laura. And when she hikes up her skirt to become her bordello character, Margie, she makes quite the high-octane hooker. Part of the charm of this production is the diversity of the cast, many of whom have been performing at QuarryWorks for years. The ensemble ranges in age from early twentysomething to AARPmember-for-a-while-now. Lucy Howard portrays gray-haired call girl Gertie with delicious feistiness, seducing a young john (played delightfully by Thomas Hunt) by slipping him a mickey. Go, grandma! If the quirky fest for the spring pest has so far been your only reason for venturing to Adamant, consider an evening at QuarryWorks. Most theatergoers come early and picnic in the idyllic setting: The Phillips sits next to an old granite quarry, now a lovely pond. (Another building on the site contains vintage photos detailing the mining history of the town, which used to be called, ahem, Sodom.) Picnic tables overlook the spectacular view.

“

hen I was growing up, we didn’t talk about food at the table. It was sort of vulgar, like talking about sex at the table. We didn’t say, ‘Yum, yum,’” moaned publisher Judith Jones with mock lasciviousness. It’s only natural that Jones, who has summered in Vermont her whole life and now spends each late spring through October in the Northeast Kingdom, should have a sense of humor about the stuffiness of bygone food culture. After all, she helped bring American dining into the 20th century. Anyone who has seen the 2009 film Julie & Julia knows that the now 87-year-old Jones was the editor at publisher Alfred A. Knopf who rescued Julia Child’s classic tome Mastering the Art of French Cooking from the reject bin. At a Bastille Day dinner in Greensboro honoring the book’s 50th anniversary, Jones recalled that Knopf executives complained, “If a book by that name sells, I’ll eat my hat.” She continued, “The men working at Knopf said, ‘Mrs. Child, no American woman wants to know this much.’” Luckily for American gourmets, Jones and Child were right about the home cook’s hunger for knowledge. Another guest at the dinner, Montpelierbased food historian Jeff Roberts, talked about witnessing that shift. “When I majored in history, no one talked about food. Man, how things have changed,” he said in wonder. Though many credit the Food Network with the foodie-fication of America, it could be argued that 50 years ago, Mastering the Art of French

Cooking fired one of the first shots in our nation’s culinary conquest. Dressed in white, with aqua glass beads around her neck and subdued green eye shadow to match, petite Jones looked far too young to have logged kitchen time in Child’s early days. So it was a surprise when she told Seven Days that her father’s family used to travel by horse and buggy to visit family in the Barre-Montpelier area.

“I’ve always had deep ties to Vermont,” Jones said, then described how her Green Mountain relatives taught her the value of food. In Montpelier, Jones’ grandmother fed hungry “popos” (poor people) during the Depression, advertising with a sign in a tree in front of her house that read “Friendly.” One of Jones’ aunts, married to a doctor, would stay up late making his favorite foods while he

was on his rounds. “It was truly an act of love,” Jones said. Despite her Vermont experiences, and a love affair with Parisian food in the late 1940s and early ’50s that paralleled Child’s, Jones had never worked on a cookbook before Mastering the Art of French Cooking. Instead, she’d made her name editing the works of John Hersey and John Updike and rescuing another now-iconic book from the reject pile, Anne Frank’s The Diary of a Young Girl. But food became the focus for Jones, now a Knopf senior editor and vice president. She’s shepherded works by cookbook luminaries such as James Beard, Madhur Jaffrey, Claudia Roden and Lidia Bastianich. Eventually Jones began writing cookbooks of her own, while her husband, Evan, did much of the work at their Vermont farm. Jones’ BrynTeg farm is still one of 55 suppliers to USDA-certified Hardwick Beef, which distributes grass-fed beef all over the Northeast. When Evan passed away in 1996, Jones took to the kitchen solo and produced her modern classic, 2009’s The Pleasures of Cooking for One. “[Doing] the whole act of cooking, I don’t feel as alone as I might,” she told Seven Days. In Vermont, Jones is far from alone. At the Bastille Day dinner held at Greensboro’s Lakeview Inn, friends and family surrounded her, including Jones’ stepdaughter, Bronwyn Dunne, a chic South Burlington culinary instructor and the event’s organizer. Also present was famed food writer Marian Burros, DINING WITH JUDITH AND JULIA

I really wanted to own a café,” she says. Though the eclectically influenced downtown Burlington spot is often full of coffee drinkers, and overflows with comedy fans at monthly open-mic nights, Piotrowski says she realized running Patra simply wasn’t her passion. “I want to move on,” she says. “I realized I was ready to do other things. I think I’d like to get back to writing.” She says thus far she’s kept quiet about the sale, advertising only on Craigslist and by word of mouth. Local businesspeople have shown interest, but “I haven’t sold yet or anything,” Piotrowski says. She hopes whoever takes over will continue the popular comedy night. — A. l.

Watch as Chefs Compete to be Named the Top Chef

Devastatingly Delicious misery lOves cO. pOps up

“Pop-up restaurants” have been hot in cities across the globe for more than a decade. Ludo Lefebvre has made an international name for himself with his Los Angeles pop-up business, LudoBites. Always a little behind the times, Vermont is finally riding the trend of short-term, on-the-down-low restaurants, thanks to a new caterer called MIsEry lovEs co. The faces behind the downbeat name are familiar ones. Bartender extraordinaire laura WaDE, of blog BoozEBlock.coM, and her husband, original BluEBIrD TavErn chef aaron JosInsky, are in charge of drinks and food, respectively. Instead of settling down at a restaurant, the two are using their catering company to feed the public on a small scale and to serve whatever they choose, when and wherever they choose. Josinsky chose not to comment for this piece, but late this spring, word started going around about DIrTy BIrD, a weekly event at the MonkEy housE in Winooski. Each Wednesday starting at 5 p.m., Misery Loves Co. serves up chicken to diners who make it to Main Street to grab their food on the go or stop to listen to DJ Disco Phantom. Last month, the bird was fried. This month, there are smoked-chicken sandwiches and “dirty chicken wings.” According to the company’s website, miserylovescopresents.blogspot.com, “We get bored easily, so the menu changes every month.” This month, the team is also serving an international array of barbecue at In ThE hooD, a series of public but hush-hush Thursday-night dinners at the Hood Plant in Burlington. The Texas barbecue on July 7 included ultra-tender brisket, pulled-pork sandwiches with homemade pickles and slaw, smoky homemade sausages, and pickled watermelon, all served on red-and-whitechecked tablecloths. Sweet tea and watermelon drinks were poured to order at the bar. The whole spread was an appealing preview of what the company could do when hired for private events. This week’s Hood dinner is a New England-style clambake. Next week, the series wraps up with a luau. Diners hungry for more will soon have another way to taste the handcrafted fare. Within the next few weeks, Misery Loves Co. will set up at the Sunday WInooskI farMErs MarkET. The edibles on offer will change regularly, but Winooski Community Partnership president JEssIca BrIDgE says to expect something meaty. That makes us far from miserable. — A .l

Julia wanted you to be creative.” Jones will have more time to experiment with culinary variations of her own starting this fall, when she officially retires from publishing. That’s not to say she’ll be taking it easy. Besides working on another book of her own, Jones will continue to consult with writers, just not professionally. “I want to be able to say no,” she said with a naughty chortle. To celebrate Jones’ new liberty, she and Dunne will host a culinary event over Columbus Day weekend, once again at the Lakeview Inn. Burros will be there, and Jones hopes Indian actress and cookbook star Jaffrey, whose longago American stage debut was at St. Michael’s Playhouse in Colchester, will also join in the fun.

provided two of the most satisfying flavors of the night. Living in Vermont seems to have instilled in Jones a preference for fresh fare. Every few weeks, she said, wildcrafters Nova Kim and Les Hook visit her with a special delivery. She described preparing a recent favorite, angelica root, also known as wild celery. “I found that the stalk is quite hard. It needs three or four minutes steeping,” she said. When the root is malleable, Jones stuffs it, like a gourmet version of ants on a log, with wild mushrooms and breadcrumbs. “That’s what I love about those things,” she said of cooking with wild edibles. “I never throw anything out. I think we’ve become a very wasteful society. It challenges your creativity — you can always make a little of that or a little of this.” Being in the beef biz has helped her to use cattle in the same way. “There’s no offal I don’t love,” Jones said with an excited smile. “The heart, the cheeks, brains. I love sweetbreads.” But with organ meats, she noted, “You have to be careful and take care. You can’t just throw it in a pan.” How did the accomplished cook enjoy Global Bite’s feast, even without

L’Amante chef Kevin Cleary launches the Vermont Wine School BY C O R IN H IR S C H

deceptively simple name is his own 14year odyssey with wine, one that transformed him from a new chef — and beer drinker — into a full-blown Italian wine aficionado. And now an educator affiliated with the Wine & Spirit Education Trust, a London-based school that has trained wine professionals since 1969. In the wine world, it’s a given that aspiring sommeliers head for the Court of Master Sommeliers, while those who want to work in the industry or teach or write about wine seek out the WSET. Cleary’s journey involved a little bit of serendipity, a lot of travel and years of study through the WSET. After countless hours of reading assignments, papers, essays and blind tastings, Cleary, 45, earned his diploma last year. Once he did, he set about becoming a teacher himself. Most of the students in this summerlong, intermediate course work in the trade; one is a serious collector of wine hoping to boost his knowledge. They’ve each paid $660 for eight two-hour sessions that will run the gamut of topics, from winemaking to judging wine’s quality. Before Cleary begins his lecture, he passes around three “defective” glasses of wine. The students take deep whiffs of one that smells moldy, a telltale sign of cork taint. “I’ve heard that one in 12

n an average evening you might expect chef Kevin Cleary to be laboring in the kitchen of his Burlington restaurant, L’Amante, turning out fried zucchini blossoms, potato-crusted sea bass, risotto and more for his customers. One recent Monday night, however, the dark wooden tables in his dining room are empty, save for a horseshoe-shaped one where seven students are taking their places. Six empty wine glasses shimmer in front of each. Bottles of Acqua Panna and bowls of grapes dot the table. And, instead of chef’s whites, Cleary is clad in street clothes, balancing his class notes on an empty wooden wine crate. It’s the second session of Cleary’s debut wine course. He tells his students this lesson is a dense one to get through, so they’d better get started. Several local wine shops hold classes — one-day lessons in pinot noir or Australian grapes, say — but Cleary’s newly minted Vermont Wine School is a more ambitious endeavor. Behind its

bottles is corked. Is that true?” someone asks. Faulty corks sully 5 to 10 percent of the wines he comes across, Cleary says glumly. He projects the title of the evening’s lecture, “Factors Influencing the Style of Wine and Understanding the Label,” on a screen. It sounds dry, but Cleary embarks on a fast-moving, engrossing romp through grape growing and winemaking that would dizzy the most serious wine buff. He displays a cross-section of a grape on the screen and breaks down what each part ultimately lends to a wine: skins for tannin, color and flavor; stalks for tannins; pips (seeds) for bitter oils; pulp for sugars, water and proteins. “It’s the most important part of the grape,” he says of the pulp. Sunlight, water, warmth and nutrients can all affect a vintage, Cleary notes, as can weather perils such as hail and frost. “No other agricultural product is affected as much by climate [as] grapes,” he asserts. The facts packed away in Cleary’s mind seem to percolate faster than he can release them, and you get the impression he could talk for days on the thousands of imponderables that go into making wine. Cleary attended the New England Culinary Institute and interned in 1995 at Boston restaurant Pignoli. There, Chef de cuisine Daniele Baliani convinced him

That’s when Cleary realized he had caught the bug of wanting to share his new knowledge, as Rogers had shared hers with him at Il Capriccio.

roundness or body to a wine — especially useful with a dry, acidic white such as muscadet. The students pour, swirl and inhale. Cleary urges them to assess clarity as well as color. Next, by smelling the wine, they judge whether the nose is clean or unclean and whether its intensity is weak or pronounced, and name the quality of its aromas — floral, for instance, or spicy.

07.20.11-07.27.11

“Nobody guides you through it,” he says of the virtual coursework, and internalizing the principles of tasting can be a challenge. Cleary’s teaching style impels students to hustle to keep up. Discussing grape growing, he quickly but deftly explains how planting on a slope increases drainage and sun exposure; how a grower can offset a cold microclimate by planting in rocky soil, which holds its heat into the evening; and how less fertile soil strengthens vines by forcing their roots to dig deep for water and nutrients. After Cleary segues into how weather can affect a vintage, how hand harvesting can improve quality and how wine can be aged, students begin to comprehend why bottles bear wildly different prices. “There are so many factors!” exclaims one. Cleary also wades through the fine print on a wine label. While this can

“I smell citrus,” says one student. Those flavor profiles are then broken into even smaller nuances. One can call a wine “fruity,” for instance, but does one taste blackberries or prunes? If a wine tastes “oaky,” is that actually cedar, smoke or vanilla? “Anybody get salinity?” asks Cleary of the muscadet, and his suggestion makes the taste immediately apparent. The hint of salt is one of muscadet’s signatures, and it speaks to the mysteries of wine — the grape melon de Bourgogne is grown on the coast of northern France, near the ocean. And so it goes through five more wines — a Vouvray; a Provençal rosé; two from Beaujolais (“Sometimes you might get a little banana,” says Cleary as he uncorks one); a Jacob’s Creek shiraz/cabernet from southeastern Australia; and a sublime zinfandel from California’s Turley Wine Cellars. Cleary, who has chosen the wines, opens each quickly and passes it around. The students swirl, sniff, sip, gurgle and spit into white plastic buckets, judging nose, acidity and finish. Tentative at first, they begin to gain confidence in voicing their impressions. “I smell nori,” someone says of the Jacob’s Creek. Cleary, sitting now, searches his own glass for the aroma. Manon Eiker, the business manager at Vermont Wine Merchants, says she always wanted to have a better knowledge of the wines her company sells. “It’s all coming together,” she says as she sips something red. As the class ends, Cleary encourages students to linger and sample some more. Ever the chef, he brings out plates of watermelon, creamy potato salad, roasted asparagus and broccoli rabe, bresaola, and shrimp and artichokes in a mustard sauce, all for pairing. The serious Cleary looks almost pleased as students load up tiny plates and settle into nibbling and sipping, trying the shrimp with the muscadet, the bresaola with the Beaujolais Village. The watermelon and the rosé are perfect partners, as Cleary thought they might be. So are the zinfandel and the broccoli rabe. It’s doubtful a weekly feast is part of the WSET’s regular curriculum. But when a chef leads a wine course, he probably can’t help himself, even if it eats into his bottom line. m

to stay and not return to NECI; in return, Baliani set Cleary up with two internships in Italy the following year. At one of those restaurants, Osteria di Rendola in Tuscany, “you could get lost in the wine cellar,” Cleary says. “They treated it like it was sacred.” He laments that, at the time, he couldn’t fully appreciate what he calls “the mystery” behind some of the greatest wines in the world. Upon his return to the states in 1997, Cleary landed a job at Il Capriccio Ristorante e Bar in Waltham, Mass. There, as fate would have it, he fell under the tutelage of then-owner and wine director Jeannie Rogers, an expert in (and now importer of ) Italian wines. “She was so into it,” Cleary says, describing how Rogers shared a range of Italian wines, including legendary Barbarescos from Angelo Gaja more than two decades old. “These were special wines,” says Cleary. “They were exploding out of the glass.” Eventually, instead of grabbing an after-work beer, he was reaching for a glass of Italian wine. Cleary left Il Capriccio two years later to start L’Amante in Gloucester, Mass., with his wife, Kathi. He continued his study of Italian wines by sampling those that distributors brought by every week. When the Clearys moved L’Amante to Burlington in 2003, Kevin still possessed an intense thirst for knowledge. “But there was nothing up here, nowhere to learn about wine,” he says. While researching wine courses, he came across the WSET. Luckily for him, the school offered its classes virtually. Those classes are structured in progressive levels and incorporate what is known as the WSET Systematic Approach to Tasting. Students learn to assess a plethora of factors, including color, clarity, aroma, acidity and finish. The intermediate and advanced levels entail exams, for which Cleary traveled to New York. “I had to teach myself how to taste,” he says of his independent study. He did it well: Cleary passed the blind-tasting portion of his advanced exam on the first try. He immediately signed up for diploma study, WSET’s exhaustive, three-year course, and a stepping stone for those wishing to earn a Master of Wine certificate. For a time, life and work took Cleary away from his studies, which he’d started in 2004 and didn’t finish until the summer of 2010, when he sat through more hours-long exams and successive blind tastings. “I had to go back three times to pass all three units,” he says. “You get to the point that you hate wine. Every time I had a glass of wine, I

JULY 23 | MUSIC Here Comes the Pride If LGBTQ celebrations are all about embracing diversity, it’s no wonder one local contest tips its hat to “American Idol” — the show where audiences worshipped such polar opposites as Clay Aiken and Adam Lambert in the span of six seasons. The seventh annual Vermont Drag Idol has a “tongue-in-cheek ‘American Idol’ rip-off kind of vibe,” explains volunteer producer Lluvia Mulvaney-Stanak. Appearances prove playfully deceiving as amateur queens Vermont Drag Idol and kings lip-synch their way Saturday, July 23, 8 p.m., at Higher Ground to stardom — but only one will Showcase Lounge in South Burlington. $12; all ages.

“

ork hard, hit harder.” That’s the motto of the Barre-Montpelier Twin City Riots’ Livid Loquita. And there’s no doubt the allfemale, DIY roller-derby team has the bruises to prove it. Saturday’s “Red, Black and Blue Bout” marks the crew’s inaugural home game, central Vermont’s firstever taste of flat-track action. While the ’blade battle is family friendly, it ain’t for the faint of heart. Shoulder and hip checking are allowed — nay, encouraged — as the Riots engage in a skating smackdown with Plattsburgh’s North Country Lumber Jills, whom they’ve only faced before in a scrimmage. Once the Riots have racked up some more wins, how ’bout an all-Vermont match with the Green Mountain Derby Dames?

SUMMERGRASS 2011

SEVEN DAYS

There’s really no excuse for missing out on open-air music in the summertime, especially when Vermont seems to sprout another homegrown, high-caliber festival — or three — each season. Taking root for the first time this year is SummerGrass 2011, an expansion of New Hampshire’s Upper Valley Bluegrass Festival and Pentangle Arts’ Summer @ Six concert series. Vermont’s own Bluegrass Gospel Project (pictured) act as house band, opening both days at this bluegrass blowout. On Friday, the Infamous Stringdusters, Peter Rowan and the David Grisman Sextet follow closely; the lineup changes to Sierra Hull, Sam Bush, and Ricky Skaggs & Kentucky Thunder on Saturday.

SEVENDAYSVT.COM

mara Moctar, 31, was driven from his home as a child during the first Tuareg rebellion in Niger. Moctar is Tuareg, a nomadic culture of people based in the Sahara Desert. When he returned to his hometown of Agadez after living in exile, he learned to play the guitar. His teacher, who invited this promising young student to join his band, gave him the name Bombino — a variation of an Italian word meaning “little child.” In the years since, Bombino has become a world-music star, taking as much influence from traditional Tuareg as Western rock icons such as Jimi Hendrix and the Who’s Pete Townsend. He’s recorded with the Rolling Stones. He served as Angelina Jolie’s guide during her first visit to Niger. Dave Matthews personally invited him to perform at his Dave Matthews Band Caravan festival after hearing Bombino’s most recent album, Agadez. Later this summer, Bombino will share a stage with Stevie Wonder and Janelle Monae at the Hollywood Bowl. Still, despite his increasing inroads into Western pop-music culture and the accompanying fame, Bombino’s heart and soul remain with his people in Niger. He says his crowning achievement was playing a peace concert at the Grand Mosque in Agadez, following the end of the second Tuareg rebellion in 2010. In advance of his performance at the Higher Ground Showcase Lounge on Friday, July 22, Seven Days spoke to Bombino by phone from Boston, through an interpreter.

All Together Now

Tuareg guitarist Bombino is the voice of a new generation BY D AN BO L L E S SEVEN DAYS: What was it like to grow up during the first Tuareg rebellion? BOMBINO: It was difficult to grow up in that moment. We left the country and lived in Algeria, a country that I didn’t know. It was difficult to integrate. I didn’t speak Arabic. But it was impossible to avoid being in this moment. And, after everything, you get experience. It’s life. Sometimes it’s good. Sometimes it’s bad. So, when you grow up in this kind of moment, you can release insecurities about life, you can understand the life and become passionate about everything. Still, it was hard.

dancing. They are together. They are happy. People are feeling the same emotions. The music is very, very important to the Tuareg. It helps us speak about the life of the Tuareg.

SD: How important is music in Tuareg culture? B: The importance of music in the life of the Tuareg is deep. Our people are nomadic. So they are moving often. And when there is a celebration or a ceremony, we come together, with no differences, and listen to the music. They are

SD: Dave Matthews personally invited you to play his Caravan festival. What was your reaction to that? B: It was a big moment for me. I’m very happy about it. It’s an opportunity to bring my music to people on behalf of my community, on behalf of my people. It helps the world discover our music.

SD: Where did your interest in rock and roll come from? B: When I first heard some tapes of rock groups, I understood they were real, making good music. Good power playing guitar. In Agadez, a young guitarist likes to play rock in their music. It is a good manner of playing guitar. Often we find that rock and our music go together.

SD: So … what was Angelina Jolie like? B: [Laughing.] Beautiful. [Laughing.] Very, very beautiful. SD: You have played all over the world, and will play some amazing shows in the U.S. this summer. But I imagine the peace concert at the Grand Mosque in Agadez at the end of the second rebellion must have been the most memorable. B: It was a great moment in life. There is nothing more important in the life of a country than peace, continuing the peace. That moment meant that the process of peace had started. I was happy about that, and happy to come back to my town, to come back free and help develop peace with the people. There were great emotions that I will never forget. SD: You are often called the voice of the next generation of Tuareg. Do you welcome that responsibility? B: It is a big responsibility. We try to always say something about the life of the Tuareg in order to carry out this responsibility, to tell what I have seen about the life of the Tuareg. We have started a new process of peace, and maybe if the government will cooperate as well as they can, I think we can continue to build peace and develop our country together. That is the message I like to bring.

Bombino plays the Higher Ground Showcase Lounge in South Burlington this Friday, July 22, as part of Cumbancha’s Summer Global Music Voyage, 8 p.m. $16/20/40. AA.

A benefit show is a doubleedged sword. On one hand, the Vermont music community at large has proven again and again that it is up to the task of aiding neighbors in need. That’s a comforting and beautiful thought. The flip side: A benefit is usually called for because someone is in the midst of personal tragedy. Last week I received an email from a reader named Melissa Wright. Melissa was writing to pass along details about a show she’s helped organize to benefit her friend heather Carstairs, who was recently diagnosed with lung cancer. Not being familiar with Heather, I asked Melissa to send along some details about her friend. I found what she wrote so touching, I thought I’d share it with you now. Take it away, Melissa. “Heather was a manager at Borders on Church Street for many years. She is very cute and covered in tattoos, and most people recognize her from [the store]. She has five children ranging in age

from 7 to 18, although there are many teens in Burlington who refer to her as, Mom. She will tell you she has six kids, since she took in an extra teen, who was a friend of her son and having problems at home. Heather took him in as one of her own. “Heather has done a lot of outreach and mentoring with Burlington teens and you can often find many of them in her house hanging out or asking for advice. Her house has always been a safe house for all of them. “She is quiet and soft-spoken, but very approachable and easy to confide in. Heather has always been a giver. She listens to everybody’s problems and is a completely selfless person. She is 40, although you would guess younger. “Heather doesn’t smoke, drink or do any drugs and somehow still wound up with lung cancer. She randomly had a seizure one day in late spring and went to the E.R. There they diagnosed her with lung cancer that had traveled to her brain. She also has two

Welcome back, ANDREW PARKER-RENGA. The talented songwriter recently relocated to Boston, but returns to Vermont this week with a show at the Bee’s Knees in Morrisville on Wednesday, July 27.

Last but not least, a pop quiz: Name the dude who wrote and performed the song “St. Elmo’s Fire.” If you know the answer to that without Googling it, congrats. Your knowledge of obscure ’80s-music trivia is 12V-Nectars072011.indd unparalleled. And also kind of disturbing. For the rest of you, the answer is JOHN PARR. Why do I bring this up, you ask? Because he’s playing at the Rusty Nail in Stowe this Saturday, July 23, with local songwriter SARAH WALLIS. Parr is touring behind a new acoustic-rock double album, Letter to America. And here’s a fun fact: Earlier this year, he was touring with RICHARD MARX. Yes, really.

Indie-pop fans, take note, Brooklyn’s LOW WATER have a pair of Vermont shows this week: Friday, July 22, at Radio Bean and Saturday, July 23, at Parker Pie Co. in West Glover. The band has been garnering rave reviews for its latest album, The Taste You Know and Enjoy, well beyond the usual smattering of mentions on hipstererthan-thou music blogs. NPR recently featured the band on “All Songs Considered,” and American Writer dubbed them as their “Writer of the Week” in late December. So Low Water have that going for them, which is nice. Also, as evidenced by their press photo, the band members have great mustaches, which almost always bodes well for indie bands.

Neon Campfire, Resurrection/The Bunny Tracks (BASEMENT, CD)

together three chords, a tight hook and a few verses would be child’s play. But the simplicity of the perfect pop song is also its greatest hurdle. Striking a balance between catchy and cloying, between honesty and earnestness, and thriving within the limitations of pop is a phenomenal task. On his latest EP, Tumble Stairs, the well-traveled Burlington-based songwriter does exactly that, delivering 25 minutes of pure, unbridled, pop-rock bliss. “Good Morning to You” sets the EP’s joyously jangly tone with jaunty guitars, loping drums and verse after verse of classic, harmony-laden melodies. Yates’ thin, boyish voice is not particularly impressive on its own. But he’s a more than capable singer and savvy enough to stay out of his own way. Yates allows his crisp, efficient wordplay to carry the tune, with an assist from a swelling phalanx of backing vocals that frame his tightly wound hooks to near perfection. The remainder of the EP follows in kind, with Yates ruminating on topics from love to, um, ninjas, on the disc’s quirky centerpiece, “Ninjas vs. Zombies (Let’s Keep Our Heads).” Even when dealing with weightier subjects, including death on “The Bottom of an Urn,” Yates remains playful and insightful. And moments that might in other hands be gratingly saccharine —

for example, the borderline schmaltzy “The Gift of Love” — are elevated by the songwriter’s feather-light touch and deft execution. Tumble Stairs by Phil Yates is as close to a perfect pop record as Burlington has seen in years. In fact, its only real flaw is that, with a scant seven songs, the disc ends far too soon.

Just so we’re all on the same page, “pop” is not a four-letter word. Sure, rock-and-roll history is littered with all manner of forgettable, three-chord tripe, so one could be excused for dismissing the genre as lightweight music of little to no consequence. But doing so would mean missing out on a music fan’s giddiest, guiltiest pleasure: experiencing a perfectly crafted morsel of aural sweetness that’s filled with gooey sentiments about falling in and out of love, is wrapped in swooning harmonies, and has an irresistible hook. A good pop song can be something close to musical nirvana. Phil Yates doesn’t write good pop songs. He writes really good pop songs. And that’s no mean feat. On the surface, it would seem as though slapping

Neon Campfire are the brainchild of songwriters David Rosane and Denis Jaro Sinski. Rosane hails from Vermont originally, but the project was actually conceived and birthed in Paris. Last winter, the duo released a pair of albums simultaneously, Resurrection and The Bunny Tracks. Rooted in classic 1970s pop, the albums are an eclectic collection of emotionally charged, bare-bones rock and roll. Though not without occasionally heavy-handed nods to acknowledged influences such as the Velvet Underground, Iggy Pop and Nick Cave, Rosane and Sinski manage to infuse their musings with a uniquely charming sense of brooding melancholy. They use the archetypes constructed by their heroes as a springboard to share insightful, and often fearlessly vulnerable, observations on life and love — and the tragedy of eventually losing both. The Bunny Tracks is the shorter of the two volumes, clocking in at a scant eight tracks and just under 20 minutes. It’s also the quieter and more intimate of the pair. Tracks such as opener “We Are Éléphant,” “Dynamite the World” and, especially, “Sérial,” cast the duo in a distinctly sad-sack, lovelorn light. However, while their ruminations are often of the heartsick variety, Rosane and Sinski generally manage to avoid

the hackneyed romantic clichés so prevalent in pop music. Instead, they trade in off-kilter meditations that attack as much with sly, tongue-incheek guile as heartstring-pulling sentimentality. Resurrection more overtly capitalizes on the duo’s lyrical whimsy and touches on a broader array of topics. Though their reflections on subjects such as environmentalism and ancestral bloodlines showcase similar inventiveness, the results are less consistent. The lead cut, “Isaiah,” is a touch too earnest for its own good. The faux-blues rock of “Loveland” feels forced and trite. And “Jungle Noogie” is a schizophrenic little oddity that switches gears so often, it’s more confusing than compelling. However, the disc also contains some of the band’s strongest work, including the darkly beautiful “Prophecy,” the even darker and more beautiful “Rock and Roll Suicide,” and the sweet, benedictory album closer, “Campfire Song.” All in all, Neon Campfire hit far more often than they miss. Though one wonders why releasing two good albums was preferable to trimming some fat and unveiling one great one. Neon Campfire play a string of Vermont dates this week: Thursday, July 21, at 51 Main in Middlebury; Friday, July 22, at Charlie O’s in Montpelier; Saturday, July 23, at the Purple Moon Pub in Waitsfield; and Tuesday, July 26, at the Bee’s Knees in Morrisville.

Pinups at the Pop-Up Heather Gray at the Falls Gallery

66 ART

SEVEN DAYS

07.20.11-07.27.11

SEVENDAYSVT.COM

ithin the stark white walls of the Falls Gallery in the temporary Winooski Pop-up district, a coterie of emerging artists is exhibiting work with a certain spark. Across from the door of the artist-curated space hang 10 large-scale photographs from Heather Gray’s “Pin-Up” series. In contrast to their sedate black frames, the Vermont artist’s images of cheeky rural babes exude humor and a jaunty spirit that’s perfectly in tune with the uptown/downtown sensibility of the pop-up space. This series spoofs the pinup genre, joining hardscabble Yankee scenery and backwoods bombshells in pictures that are equal parts campy, sexy and witty.

In the far distance, another woman stands with her back to the camera, wearing only frilly, bottom-grazing bloomers and heels. The scene’s redblack burlesque palette and tantalizing skin don’t so much parody the pinup genre as contribute to it. The beguiling image is lushly produced, but it lacks the cheekiness of later works in the series, such as “Sweet Cherry Pie.” Installed at either end of the show, the two photos fittingly bookend Gray’s exhibition. “Sweet Cherry Pie” is set in a market. Between the aisles, a woman in a 1940s-style black ensemble feigns surprise as her red panties drop — ostensibly spontaneously — to the floor. Her arms loaded with bananas, pink tulips and cans of Heineken, she draws a fin-

REVIEW

GRAY’S CLEVERLY CONCEIVED IMAGES ARE BEAUTIFULLY SHOT AND PRINTED, AND HER WINNING COMBINATION OF COY SEXUALITY AND COMEDY IS INVITING. Gray’s previous works compiled twisted domestic scenes, glamour photography and self-portraiture into a deadpan series called “Dysfunctional Antics.” The influence of Cindy Sherman’s “Untitled Film Stills” series from the late 1970s is apparent in Gray’s early works, yet her sharp blend of subject, composition and narrative signals an original artistic voice. Gray, who completed her MFA from the Vermont College of Fine Arts in 2005, continues to hone that voice in her current “Pin-Up” series. Her cleverly conceived images are beautifully shot and printed, and her winning combination of coy sexuality and comedy is inviting. The “Pin-Up” series began in 2010, when Gray visited her friend Esme Hall McCarthy’s tattoo shop, the currently closed Venus Tattoos. Gray was struck by the number of pinup tattoos emblazoned on the clientele. When McCarthy suggested that Gray make a pinup cal-

“Sweet Cherry Pie”

endar, Gray was inspired. “At first … the images were very serious,” she writes. “I created several great images, but they were lacking in my humor. Once I started to add my own flair and humor to them, they became more successful and satisfying to me.” The 10 images shown at the Falls Gallery draw from several stages of the artist’s process and show her struggle to clarify a vision for the series.

In an untitled image shot early on, a central woman in a black negligé, black thigh-highs and a sheer shawl stands cruciform between red curtains parted in an arched brick interior doorway. With curly blond hair tucked back with a big, black flower headpiece and vining tattoos sleeving her arms, she gazes innocently at the ceiling. The look is part countercultural madam, part ingénue. Behind her, a bare leg edges into the frame.

ger to her mouth as if saying, “Oops!” Bright-red cherries scatter across the floor. The image, which employs vintage clothing and the anachronistic environs of a small-scale Vermont market, ironically feels more current than the more obviously contemporary untitled shot. Here, Gray brings it all together: the incisive glamour of Cindy Sherman, the rural charm of Vermont and the audacious fun of the pinup. It’s a fitting finale to the series, and it shows the exciting direction Gray is taking. She promises, we can only assume, more Vermont vixens to come. A M Y R A HN

movies Incendies ★★

t’s taken ages for this year’s Canadian Best Foreign Language Oscar nominee to make it to the area, and, having at long last gotten a look at it, I am left with a single burning question: Couldn’t it have taken longer? Seriously, why anyone outside the dwindling society of professional film critics would subject themselves to this overlong cavalcade of generic Middle Eastern horrors is beyond my comprehension. You couldn’t pay me to sit through a movie like this if you weren’t, you know, paying me. Québec-born writer-director Denis Villeneuve has a news flash for us: The cycle of sectarian violence that has plagued that part of the world for decades is a bad thing. To illustrate this point, he’s reconfigured Wajdi Mouawad’s 2003 play Incendies — a series of poetic monologues — into a bludgeoning and vastly unpoetic melodrama in which bad things happen to an Arab woman. The story is told on two tracks. In the present day, a grown brother and sister living in Montréal have learned that their recently deceased mother neglected to fill them in on several key points of her biography. Jeanne

THE AGONY AND THE ... ADDITIONAL AGONY Azabal plays an Arab woman subjected to a pitiless and pointless succession of horrors.

(Mélissa Désormeaux-Poulin) and Simon (Maxim Gaudette) are left sealed envelopes to be delivered to a father they believed was dead and a brother they never knew existed. The task requires them to retrace the path of the woman’s life, piecing together the puzzle of her past by visiting the region where she grew up. The country is never named but is clearly a stand-in for Lebanon, from which the playwright and his family fled when he was a child. The filmmaker flips back and forth between their improbable field trip and flashbacks to their mother’s early life. Lubna Azabal stars as Nawal Marwan, a Christian Arab who came of age at a time when religious tensions had exploded into civil war. A typical day, for example, includes her Muslim boyfriend being shot in an honor killing by her brother. Needless to say, the young woman is not greeted by a tsunami of tolerance when the zealous locals learn she’s pregnant. She’s forced to give up the child and then spends the rest of her life trying to find him. In the course of her quest, she’s subjected to all manner of atrocities.

Nawal narrowly escapes when Phalangist fighters set fire to a bus full of Muslim civilians. After becoming a political activist, she is sent to prison, where she’s tortured and raped. Then, just when you’re sure the film’s creators couldn’t possibly make life any more nightmarish for her — or the viewer — they unveil a surprise twist so stomach turning it threatens her sanity. Not that it’s remotely believable. In fact, it’s the kind of final-act gimmick that M. Night Shyamalan might be tempted to tack on but then decide is simply too over the top. Movie-critic law prohibits my even hinting at the nature of the film’s big secret, but what I can say is that it’s an even bigger secret why anyone would for a minute consider this self-

serious exercise in miserabilism Oscar material. The dialogue is stilted, the acting at times wooden and the script as barren of insight as the desert locations are of greenery. What’s the point here? For an excruciating two hours-plus, Villeneuve subjects his audience to random examples of man’s inhumanity to man, brutal acts committed by feuding barbarians in the name of their gods. To what end? Turn on the TV. Pick up a paper. The guy’s not exactly telling us the news. Incendies may translate loosely as “scorched,” but I left the theater feeling merely burned. RICK KISONAK

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 ★★★

he Harry Potter movies aren’t really movies. They’re the world’s most expensive book illustrations. Much like biblical films, they stand in the shadow of the revered texts they dramatize, and all complaints about tortured or nonsensical plot twists can be dismissed with the command, “Read the books. They explain that.” It’s true. J.K. Rowling is nothing if not a master of lengthy exposition. But the twists and turns of her final book also bear considerable emotional weight, which is why so many fans and critics have greeted Deathly Hallows: Part 2 as an epic achievement. For viewers who love the characters like old friends — even the supporting players — seeing them rise from a half-ruined Hogwarts to confront the seemingly victorious dark lord Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes) is on par with watching courageous Brits weather the Blitz. Who would not cheer when the oncemocked wizarding student Neville Longbottom (Matthew Lewis) rises to the occasion with a speech worthy of Shakespeare’s Henry V? Who wouldn’t weep to see beloved students and professors among the casualties? Unlike most literary adapters, screenwriter Steve Kloves doesn’t have to work to make ticket buyers care about this story. The assumption seems to be that, if some viewers

have no interest in things Potter, the dazzling special effects of the magical battle sequences will keep them in line. And that may be. Like the films that preceded it, Deathly Hallows: Part 2 is a class act. It has a huge cast of recognizable British actors, with not a single one phoning it in. (Alan Rickman finally gets to spread his wings this time around, while Ciarán Hinds and Kelly Macdonald join the roster.) It has its own special look and sooty sets that bring steampunk whimsy into the mainstream. It has rousing lines, exciting confrontations and kisses that happen at inappropriate times in inappropriate places. But it also has flubs that sap some of the biggest plot developments of their meaning. Take the realization of Harry’s supposed destiny to destroy Voldemort. When we finally learn the form that destruction must take, the revelation is chilling to both us and Harry. Daniel Radcliffe brings his character into adulthood with style, but the film glosses over the resolution of the crisis, making it seem more miraculous than logical. Read the book. Or take the intertwined quest narratives at work as Harry and his friends seek the Horcruxes (objects containing pieces of Voldemort’s soul) while gathering information about a death-defying trio of talismans

CONJURE THIS He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named really gets riled this time around.

called the Deathly Hallows. No writer in his or her right mind would load an original script with this many MacGuffins. Want to know how the Hallows subplot offers closure to Harry’s fraught relationship with his late mentor Professor Dumbledore (Michael Gambon)? Read the book. True, none of these scenes of complex backstory and exposition would have proved particularly cinematic. But a few well-placed lines might have helped Potter neophytes interpret what they’re seeing. Unlike martial arts and swordplay, magical conflict on film just looks like two people shooting fireworks at each other; it’s baffling unless, to use gaming terminology, you know whose wand can

inflict how many damage points. That info is ... in the book. While it’s nice to see Fiennes on screen more often, nothing can change the fact that Voldemort isn’t the world’s most original villain. Rowling made up for the more derivative aspects of her creation with thoughtful moments like the one where a chastened Dumbledore suggests to Harry that “perhaps those who are best suited to power are those who have never sought it.” The movie illustrates your basic apocalyptic Good vs. Evil clash just fine. But when it comes to the allimportant nuances — read the book. MARGOT HARRISON
