WEEK IN REVIEW

“You can buy a lot

state that if Burlington was to qualify for that money, Irvine had to go.

of help for children with that money.”

That’s what Joyce Irvine told a New York Times reporter after she was dismissed from her job as principal of the H.O. Wheeler Elementary School in Burlington’s Old North End. The school, renamed the Integrated Arts Academy this year, has been deemed an “underperforming school” by the Obama administration. Her ouster has raised hackles locally, but the national attention is giving new fuel to critics of federal education policies that punish schools even when they are showing improvement.

The story provoked a major outcry among national readers of the New York Times. Many of the 292 comments included harsh words for both Bush- and Obama-era education policies responsible for creating the high-stakes testing that created the situation Wheeler now faces. One reader wrote: The wrong people are being punished. It is sad so many states are willing to prostitute themselves to the federal government for a little money. Irvine now acts as a school improvement coordinator for the district, making $93,000 a year. But it’s still apparent that she was punished for doing good work work, all because it didn’t ﬁt into the federal template of what good work ought to be.

Wheeler students performed below federal standards on tests. The Burlington School District could qualify for $3 million in federal money to help its students — provided it removed the principal of the underperforming school.

Plenty of critics said No Child Left Behind wasn’t working for middle- and lower-class students. Now Obama’s policies appear to not be working, either. What next? Sen. Bernie Sanders, who sits on the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee said he is using Irvine’s ﬁring is an example of why federal rules need to change.

Never mind that Irvine was well liked by students and parents. Never mind that the district had nothing but positive things to say in her job evaluation. Never mind that most of the school’s students are refugees. Never mind that Wheeler’s year-old identity as an “arts magnet” attracted students from all over the city, and the average poverty rate was dropping as a result.

The committee will be working on revisions to No Child Left Behind. “It’s my intention to talk to Arne Duncan and say, ‘Hey, if this is the way you think you are going to improve low income schools, you are very mistaken mistaken,’” Sanders said.

That’s how much federal money the Burlington School District will qualify for by removing H.O. Wheeler Elementary School principal Joyce Irvine, according to the New York Times. Only problem? Irvine was, by all accounts, a popular and successful principal of the school. Maybe it’s time for the feds to rethink one-size-ﬁtsall education policy.

BICYCLES DON’T COUNT?

I appreciate the continuing coverage Seven Days gives to bicycling in Vermont, but I want to correct a couple of misconceptions in this article about the new law [“When It Comes to Bike Safety, Vermont Falls Down — Hard,” June 16]. First, you can’t signal with either hand — only for right turns (right arm straight out). Left turns and stops are still signaled with your left hand. Second, though there has been an increase in bicycle accidents, we have no way to know if there has been an increase in accidents per hour of bicycle operation. That’s because VTRANS collects no information on bicycle traffic as part of its traffic studies. VTRANS counts bicycles as pedestrians if they are being walked, as passenger vehicles if they are being ridden. In either case, bicycles are not counted as bicycles, and disappear from all traffic counts, essentially resulting in traffic data that indicate there are no bicycles! It’s hard to see how roads can be improved for cycling as long as VTRANS uses this method. Anecdotally, I think most observers believe bicycle use has increased dramatically in the past two years, but right now we’re planning our highways without any solid information on bicycle traffic. As to lane use, bicycles have always had the right (and responsibility) to use the lanes as they are marked. The current law

TIM NEWCOMB

clariﬁes the conditions in which you may expect to see a cyclist using the full lane. Drivers might also note that the current Vermont drivers manual recommends four feet of passing clearance. That means you almost always need to use the oncoming lane to pass a bicycle safely, even if it means a few seconds’ wait. Bruce Lierman

HIDE-A-WAY REVEALED

We ate at the Harbor Hide-A-Way in July 1987 [“WTF,” July 7]. It may have been the last dinner ever served there. We had roast beef, and our 2-year-old daughter browsed from the salad bar. I was newly pregnant at the time, and the mildew smell of the place made me feel sick. I have always felt a strong (and strongly ambivalent) connection with the place, and got a weird sort of pleasure from seeing it still standing, empty and deteriorating, each time we drove down Shelburne Road. Thank you for providing the backstory. Ruth Horowitz

GYM JAM

Thank you for the terriﬁc articles on sports and ﬁtness in Vermont [Health

wEEk iN rEViEw

& Fitness issue, June 23]. I enjoy being active, and I am glad so many opportunities exist in Vermont. Besides all the tips you recommended in several articles, there is also the option of joining a gym. That being said, I have a warning to readers: My husband joined a gym … in 2009. He signed up for a one-year membership. In fine print, this gym noted that, if you did not write a letter to cancel your membership after one year, you would continue to receive the membership and the bill. So, for the past six months, we have been paying money to a gym we have not attended. I … encourage readers to read the fine print! carrie Shamel cOlcheSTer

which opened the thriving City Market after downtown’s last conventional supermarket walked away. The Hanover Consumer Cooperative Society just did the same thing for White River Junction. The Washington Electric Cooperative is Vermont’s only utility that has an energy portfolio that is nearly 100 percent green. Thousands of Vermonters use cooperatively organized credit unions as their banks. Cabot Cheese is a farmer-owned cooperative of national prominence. I could go on. Corporate good guys like Hollender and Carris are admirable — but also mortal. Nothing prevents their companies, and others like them, from eventually falling into the hands of those who would maximize profit by extracting every ounce of wealth they can from their communities. Cooperatives cannot do that — which is why they deserve credit as Vermont’s real socially responsible businesses. Donald m. kreis nOrwich

Sean Nunnink’s libertarian rant in your June 30 issue [“Feedback”] wants a bit of perspective. First, Sarah Palin may be a libertarian at heart, but her political ascent is due to John McCain’s poor judgment and, largely, her good looks. Were she gangly, homely and reedy voiced like Abraham Lincoln, her political star would have risen and set in Wasilla. feedback

Jeffrey Hollender of Seventh Generation says that business (presumably his company excepted) is “basically a vehicle for transferring money from the poor to the rich” [“Conscious Commerce,” July 7]. Bill Carris of Carris Reels can’t say what socially responsible business is but, you report, “he knows it when he sees it” [“In Good Company?” July 7]. This assessment of virtuous commerce in Vermont is both dismal and wrong. The state is awash in cooperatives — entities that, unlike investorowned businesses, are democratically controlled by their users, employees or both, and which exist purely to give 100 percent of the wealth they generate back to those people and their communities. A shining example is in [Burlington’s] front yard: the Onion River Co-op,

The Pride Issue

On April 7, 2009, Vermont became the fourth state to legalize same-sex marriage, after a historic vote in the legislature. Now what? Former Outright Vermont director LLUVIA MULVANEY-STANAK ponders that question in a guest op-ed this week. One answer: that organization’s anti-bullying efforts in local schools. Meanwhile, THE VERMONT FREEDOM TO MARRY ACTION COMMITTEE is supporting candidates who stood up for marriage equality — Republicans included. In this issue, too, we proﬁle new FLYNN CENTER executive director JOHN KILLACKY and NECI executive chef TOM BIVINS — both of them happily married … to men. In an interview, “Endora” tells us what goes down at the gay refuge FAERIE CAMP DESTINY in southern Vermont. And speaking of “camp,” don’t miss the PRIDE CALENDAR, or your Saturday will be a drag.

ampaign finance reports reveal more than the amount of money a candidate has managed to raise; they offer insight into his or her political strategies. On both fronts, 16t-ronaldmcd072110.indd 7/16/10 12:33:31 PMlast week’s reports delivered. join us for1 the sidewalk sale! When he decided to run for governor, Republican Lt. Gov. BRIAN DUBIE knew one of his biggest challenges would be learning to ask people for cash. He seems to have gotten over it, having scared up $943,000 so far — a sum that is roughly equivalent to what he raised in all of his previous election bids combined. Also, he’s spent half the total, more than any other candidate in the race. He’s collecting from Vermont’s loyal GOP base, which includes owners and employees of a number of prominent paving and construction companies. He’s also raked in $120,000 from outof-state backers, including current GOP governors TIM PAWLENTY (Minnesota) and 16t-nido072110.indd 1 6/29/10 1:11:18 PMHALEY BARBOUR (Mississippi). Dubie is also receiving checks from small-dollar donors, the kind of folks he can hit up a few more times before Election Day. Small contributors are Vermont pols’ bread and butter, and offer proof of a grassroots campaign strategy. You don’t raise that kind of money just using email appeals. Their money and votes are a result of one-onone connections. A similar pattern emerges in Secretary MAKING HOMES ACCESSIBLE of State DEB MARKOWITZ’s finance reports. She continues to outpace her Democratic rivals: She’s raised $525,000 in a com1k FUN RUN FOR KIDS petitive five-way primary, $335,000 of which has come in since last July. Only about $75,000 flowed in from out of OAKLEDGE PARK, BURLINGTON state. Impressive. It’s impressive because she’s up 11am against two skilled political fundraisers — Senate President Pro Tem PETER SHUMLIN (D-Windsor) and Google exec MATT DUNNE — and she’s raising most of her money from small-dollar donors. Aside from Markowitz and Dubie, who list 1812 and 2724 donors, respectively, only Dunne has the right mix of in-state, small-donor and larger contributors — crucial components in a winning campaign. He’s raised $267,000, about $90,000 of which came from out of state. With 1131 donors and $25,000 raised in the 96 hours before the filing deadline, 8v-HowardCt072110.indd 1

7/19/10 12:34:58 PM

Dunne appears to be picking up steam, and that could spell trouble for his competition. In 2006, he surprised many by defeating the popular House Majority Leader JOHN PATRICK TRACY (D-Burlington) in a lite-gov primary — only to lose to Dubie in the end. Then there’s the millionaire, Shumlin, who proved he’s his own biggest fan by writing a $150,000 check to his own campaign. He made additional in-kind contributions and donations valued at $10,000. He also raised $90,000 from out-ofstate donors, for a total haul of $418,000. Absent his own money, he’s raised a respectable $258,000.

DOUG RACINE PROUDLY ANNOUNCED HE’S A CARDCARRYING MEMBER OF

THE LEAGUE OF DRAG QUEEN VOTERS. No surprise that Sen. SUSAN BARTLETT (D-Lamoille) finished last in the money race, having raised just $70,000, $12,000 of which came from out-of-state donors. What was surprising? That Sen. DOUG RACINE (D-Chittenden) couldn’t cash in on his recent flurry of labor and environmental endorsements. He raised just $110,000 in the past year, for about $222,000 total. Relying on volunteers to make phone calls, knock on doors and get the word out may be a smart primary strategy. But it’s hard to see how, in a matter of weeks, he could go from $80,000 in the bank to the $1 million needed to win the general election. The five-way Democratic race remains Markowitz’s to lose, with Dunne, Shumlin and Racine within striking distance. They’ll give Markowitz a run for her money, anyway. The only candidate with a better chance of beating Dubie in the general election is … Dubie. How? With a major gaffe or poor public showings in debates. Is the Air Force reservist using his bunker time wisely as Democrats wage war against each other? We’ll find out soon enough.

OPINION Debates Are a Drag

The five Democratic candidates for governor took part in an LGBTQ forum on Monday night at Champlain College. The first of roughly 50 primary debates and forums focused on LGBTQ issues was sponsored by several groups: Vermont CARES, Vermont Freedom to Marry, RU12?, Outright Vermont, Pride Vermont, VT TransAction and the Samara Foundation of Vermont. The candidates tackled a wide variety of issues, from HIV/AIDs funding to discrimination in schools and in the health care system. As is normal in these forums, all five vowed to be more responsive to LGBTQ needs. More than Douglas has been, at least. Or than everyone thinks Dubie would be. Shumlin played up his leadership on same-sex marriage last year and subsequent endorsement by the Vermont Freedom to Marry Action Committee. Racine proudly announced he’s a card-carrying member of the League of Drag Queen Voters. Another LGBTQ forum will be held on October 6. All gubernatorial candidates will be invited. Given Dubie’s public opposition to civil unions, same-sex marriage and other LGBTQ legislation, will he show up?

Who Audits the Auditors?

Democrat DOUG HOFFER didn’t have to embarrass himself to get some muchneeded ink in the auditor’s race. He did what number crunchers do best: donned his green eyeshade and broke out the slide rule, or abacus, or whatever counting device it is they use nowadays. Hoffer examined his rivals’ campaignﬁnance reports and found some interesting discrepancies. Democrat-turned-Republican incumbent THOMAS M. SALMON’s report included contributions and expenses from the previous reporting period, giving the illusion that Salmon had raised and spent more since July 1, 2009, than he actually has. In all, Salmon has raised about $2285 in the past year, $1000 of which came from his father, former Gov. THOMAS P. SALMON. He spent $2167. The spreadsheet attached to his report made it appear as

Got A tIP for ShAY? shay@sevendaysvt.com

if he had raised $7350 and spent more than $3200. Hoffer saved the harshest criticism for his opponent in the Democratic primary: Sen. Ed Flanagan (D-Chittenden), who once held the auditor job. The report Flanagan filed last week listed $27,000 in rollover funds from “previous campaigns” and showed no expenses, even though he has sent out fundraising emails and developed a website. The only campaign surplus reported to the secretary of state’s office in recent years was roughly $5000 in December 2006. But Flanagan’s 2008 reports, all of which were filed in mid-2009, showed no carry-forward money. No expenditures or contributions, either. Flanagan told “Fair Game” he believes most of the excess cash is from his failed U.S. Senate bid in 2000. “But, I’m not sure. It really can’t be traced back to a single campaign,” said Flanagan. “I mean, I’ve run for office almost a dozen times, and it has kept accumulating and carrying forward.” That’s not good enough for Hoffer, who urged Salmon and Flanagan to file amended reports to clear up any confusion or errors. “The auditor is called upon to inspect the financial reporting of state agencies,” said Hoffer. “At a minimum, candidates for auditor should be able to properly complete these simple forms.”

BT by the Numbers

According to an internal report, Burlington Telecom has lost customers in each of the past three months, dipping below 4700 for the first time since last November. As noted last week, BT general manager ChriS BurnS said the exodus of college students caused BT to shed customers in the past two months. He refused to provide further details, though, citing proprietary information. However, a report generated by Burns and obtained by “Fair Game” shows that, as of June 30, BT’s customer count was 4679, a drop of 83 from its peak of 4762 in February and March. Between February and June 2009, BT gained 238 customers. It lost 130 subscribers, though, over the subsequent two months. Looks like 2010 is trending a little differently.

When is an employee not an employee? When he or she is an independent contractor. Taxes for Social Security and Medicare are withheld from an employee’s wages. The employer is also obligated to provide workers’ compensation and unemployment insurance. An independent contractor is paid a flat fee and expected to file quarterly self-employment taxes. The rules are no different in political campaigns. Several high-profile pols have been caught paying workers as contractors instead of employees, including BErniE SandErS in his 1990 congressional race, and Gov. Jim douglaS in his 2004 reelection bid. Caught by the media, or political rivals, both Douglas and Sanders reversed course. This year it’s Susan Bartlett who may be bending the rules. To date, she has paid her campaign manager John BauEr $3900 for “consulting” and three other workers nearly $3400 for “casual labor.” The campaign believes it’s playing fair, said Bauer. “I choose when and where I work,” he said. The campaign’s

part-time field director, who has been paid $4000, also sets her own schedule. Ditto the “casual labor” employees. “But, since you’ve asked, we’ve put a call into the Department of Labor to clarify,” said Bauer. “We think we are doing this appropriately, but if we’re not, we’ll correct it immediately.”

The Life of Brian Brian Dubie wants to be Vermont’s top gun, but can his conservative values withstand enemy fire? B Y A ND Y BROMAGE

Five of the six may be almost indistinguishable on policy issues. But the men and women competing to be the next governor of Vermont are vastly different people. And their individual stories may better indicate how they’d govern than any number of speeches, videos and slogans. To that end, Seven Days reporter Andy Bromage has been getting to know the gubernatorial candidates, at their jobs, in their homes and on the campaign trail. In the last of six profiles, he locks on pilot Brian Dubie, the sole Republican candidate for governor. He doesn’t have an opponent in the primary, but his name will be on the ballot anyway.

rian Dubie got a hero’s welcome at a recent campaign rally in his hometown of Essex Junction. Hundreds of supporters, many dressed in forest-green “Dubie Co-Pilot” T-shirts, had crammed into a small building at the Champlain Valley Expo on a rainy Saturday in June to help the Republican lieutenant governor launch his campaign for governor. The cheering began the moment Dubie stepped inside. Then the screaming and whistling gave way to a thunderous chant. “BRI-AN! BRI-AN! BRI-AN!” Dubie’s supporters yelled in unison. The crowd parted and down the center walked Dubie, kissing and hugging his fans as he made his way to the balloon-festooned stage. Dubie thanked the audience before veering into a tale that combined his years as a fighter pilot and his tenure as the Vermont government’s second in command. Dubie was in Cuba on a trade mission, at an official dinner, he said, when Cuba’s vice president asked him why he had come to the country. “I said, ‘I’ll tell ya why. In 1996, your country shot down two civilian aircraft in a rescue incident,’” Dubie began, referring to the occasion when two small planes operated by a Cuban American group looking for refugees on rafts were brought down by Cuban MiG fighters. “I said, ‘I was sitting in a Vermont Guard F-16 at Langley Air Force [base in] Virginia with two live missiles and a live gun, with orders to come shoot those MiGs down,’” Dubie went on. “I said, ‘I sat in my jet for 10 hours on one-minute scramble status.’ And I got right in his face and I said, ‘I didn’t get the chance to come that night.’” The crowd at the fairgrounds erupted in applause. Dubie’s years in the Air Force and

the Vermont Air National Guard give him cred most politicians would kill for. After September 11, 2001, Dubie personally procured badly needed radios for the rescue workers at Ground Zero. When Hurricane Katrina ravaged the Gulf Coast, he went there as the Air Force official responsible for getting civilian authorities what they needed. But Dubie doesn’t have the stereotypical, mirror-shades swagger of a fighter pilot; he comes across as a regular guy, passing the politician’s “backyard barbecue test” with flying colors. “He’s very genuine, very honest,” says Joe Sinagra, who ran most of Dubie’s campaigns for lieutienant governer and now heads the Home Builders & Remodelers Association of Northern Vermont. “Brian was an easy person to sell early on because he was just a nice guy.” Since 2003, Dubie, 51, has served as lieutenant governor, a part-time job that gave him time to network with Vermont’s business community and retain his job as a commercial pilot for American Airlines. How in sync are Dubie and Gov. Jim Douglas? “The governor has looked to Brian for help on various projects, included him on cabinet meetings, kept him informed,” according to Kevin Dorn, a longtime friend of Dubie’s who serves as Douglas’ powerful secretary of commerce and community development. This perception has allowed his Democratic opponents to include him in their criticism of the “Dubie-Douglas administration” and its job-creation record. Democratic candidate Matt Dunne has made the line “Brian Dubie, where have you been?” part of his campaign message. But, in many ways, Dubie has been his own man even though he and Douglas share the same political party. Early on, he took a pro position on wind power; Douglas is against it. Dubie regularly cites Vermont’s poor business ranking

— Forbes magazine called it the fourth worst state in the U.S. — to make a case for lower taxes and less government regulation. But it also makes the current administration look bad. Now more than ever, Dubie is distancing himself from the Douglas camp in small but detectable ways. Last week, during an interview at his campaign headquarters — in a drab, stucco-façade storefront on Route 2 in Williston — Dubie was asked to name three people who would likely serve in his administration. Placing his hands on the computer keyboard in front of him, he replied, “It’s control, alt, delete for the state. It’s like a reboot. My administration would be my administration. It would really be about a new team, new perspective, new energy and a control-alt-delete kind of thing.” Dubie doesn’t exactly sound like a computer scientist when he speaks, but those who know him warn against underestimating his smarts. “He’s very intelligent, and that doesn’t necessarily come across in his aw-shucks kind of attitude,” says Dorn.

“People trust him. When he sits down and talks to people, they believe what he’s telling them and, in the political world today, trust ... is huge.” With the Democrats fighting among themselves, Dubie has been able to keep a low public profile and concentrate on raising money — almost $1 million so far — and building a base of grassroots supporters. That’s allowed him to remain vague about his plans for lowering taxes and creating jobs; he says he will unveil a detailed proposal after the August 24 primary election. It’s also protected him from questions about what could prove to be his biggest liability: his opposition to abortion rights and same-sex marriage. Dubie is downplaying his social conservatism in favor of talking about the economy, but when pressed he says he “generally favors” laws restricting abortion. The Democrats, meanwhile, are doing their best to remind voters where Dubie stands on those hot-button social issues in hopes it will bring down the popular Republican fighter pilot.

orn in 1959, the middle of seven children, Dubie is a ﬁfth-generation Vermonter. His father, Clem, was a colonel in the Vermont National Guard, where he worked full time in human resources. His mother, Janice, worked as an operating-room nurse at what is now Fletcher Allen Health Care. Dubie’s interest in aviation developed early. His father used to take the family to the airport to watch the Vermont Guard planes taking off and landing. Today, Dubie’s younger brother Michael is the top commander at the Vermont National Guard.

Jackson at the Air Force Academy, and I said, ‘I would like to join the Guard, but if it falls through, I’d like to stay at the academy,’” Dubie recalls. “And this colonel said, ‘Well, it sounds to me like you want to have your cake and eat it, too.’” Eventually, Dubie says, the academy agreed to give him leave, though he never went back. “In retrospect, toughest decision I ever made, best decision I ever made,” Dubie says. Back in Vermont, Dubie enrolled at the University of Vermont, graduating in 1981 with a BS in mechanical engineering. His first job out of school was at Goodrich Aerospace in Vergennes, where customers included the Israeli military. Dubie met his wife playing horseshoes on a quasi blind date when he was 24.

Colchester. The couple married three years later and had four children: Emily, 22; Jack, 21; Matthew, 20; and Casey, 18. In 1995, when the older kids were in school, Dubie ran for a seat on the Essex Junction school board, called the Prudential Committee, and won. The next year, he was elected chairman, a leadership post he held until he left the board in 2000 to run for lieutenant governor. Articles in the Essex Reporter from that time period paint Dubie as both an innovator and a determined cost cutter — even in good economic times. In his first year, he moved to slash $19,000 in funding for English as a second language programs, even though educators said that amount was “not significant” in the budget. In 1997, five well-liked athletic coaches abruptly quit when their stipends were reduced as a cost-cutting measure. The savings were minuscule — a coach would get a raise of $1180 instead of $1200 — but apparently the gesture angered them enough to leave. Under Dubie’s tenure, the district overhauled its K-8 math curriculum, leading to several years of test scores

THE LIFE OF BRIAN

SEVENDAYSVT.COM

When they were in high school, the “Dubie brothers” spent their free time buying, fixing and selling old cars — 17 in all, Dubie says. “The first car we bought was a pickup truck,” he says. “We got it for free because someone was going to junk it. It ran when we got it and, when we got done working on it, it didn’t run, and we sold it for $50.” Dubie graduated from Essex High School in 1977 and enrolled in the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs. The flight from Vermont to Colorado was his first time aboard an airplane. Midway through his third year, though, he left the academy to return home and join the Vermont Air National Guard — a highly unusual move for a third-year cadet, according to sources familiar with the Air Force Academy. “There’s been some people that don’t quite understand that, but it’s very consistent with what my father did for us,” Dubie says. “My father was given an opportunity to go for higher income to New York City and said, ‘You know, I got six kids and I don’t think I’m going to do that.’ When you graduate from the academy, which I really wanted to do, it’s, like, a 12-year commitment.

A farmer trying to ship wheat on lines controlled by the railway trust could pay rigged rates or watch the crop rot. A tenement family stuffed into a windowless firetrap could move onto the street. Child laborers could work for a pittance contracting cotton lung or starve. Left unfettered to reach its logical conclusion, capitalism leaves a buyer with two options: Like it or lump it. Mr. Nunnink describes the “progressive structure of crony capitalism.” Progressivism arose as the antithesis of crony capitalism. He decries federal bailouts to “trendy” do-gooders deemed too big to fail. The trendy do-gooders at AIG and Bank of America? Say what? Somewhere between the nanny state and the law of the jungle is a balance to be struck by an informed and reasoning populace — territory Mr. Nunnink might explore. Charles Siegchrist Jericho

I wasn’t at all surprised to learn that “Corm and the Coach” won’t be back on WNMR. The truth is, WNMR had a problem far more serious than its finances that I’m surprised Shay Totten hasn’t mentioned [“Fair Game,” June 30]. The real problem was that, at 107.1 on the FM dial, WNMR — which is now off the air — broadcasted on the same frequency as WORK in the Barre-Montpelier area. Did you ever try to listen to 107.1 in your car while driving between Burlington and Montpelier on Interstate 89? As soon as you were just east of Bolton Flats, your car radio suddenly turned into a screeching jumble of electronic noise as WNMR and WORK battled it out for signal supremacy. Where I live in Huntington, it was impossible for me to tune into either station. Because of this, “Corm and the Coach” could not reach half the broadcast area the program was able to reach when it was on WCPV (Champ 101.3) and WIZN (The Wizard 106.7) before that. And because WNMR could not extend its signal beyond the immediate Burlington-Plattsburgh area without blowing WORK off the air, there was no way it could draw anywhere near the listener base nor advertising base that other stations with a far wider signal range, such as WEZF (Star 92.9), WOKO (98.9) and WNCS (The Point 104.7), could reach. With its handicapped frequency, WNMR was essentially doomed from the start. Skeeter Sanders huntington

Outright Vermont Expands Its Reach to Queer Kids in Vermont BY L AUR E N O BE R

“

rmark.” Nothing sounds sweeter to a Vermont nonprofit than a guaranteed federal appropriation to fund a specific project. Rep. Peter Welch requested 29 of them last year as part of the federal budgeting process, for local organizations ranging from the Chittenden County Transportation Authority to the Northern Forest Canoe Trail. Of 9297 projects nationwide that won $10.2 billion in earmarked funds, one of the surprise recipients was Outright Vermont, the Burlingtonbased queer youth advocacy organization. It’s the first time Outright, or any Vermont organization serving the LGBTQ community, has ever been awarded a federal earmark. In August, the nonprofit will receive

78 programs to 2200 people. Last year, the organization reached 4000 people through 151 presentations. The spike is due to more and more schools requesting the antibullying programs, says Outright Executive Director Melissa Murray. Administrators are beginning to realize that gender-based bullying is a much more insidious problem than previously thought, she says. The numbers speak for themselves. The most recent Youth Risk Behavior Survey found that 14 percent of the 11,427 Vermont teens polled had been bullied in the previous month. The statistics are even higher for youth who identify as LGBTQ — 36 percent report being the target of harassment. While not all of that abuse can be attributed to sexual orientation or gender

the ﬁrst installment of a $200,000 appropriation that will be doled out over the next three years. The money will allow Outright to expand its anti-bullying work, which currently accounts for one-third of the small nonproﬁt’s $240,000 annual budget, to parts of the state that don’t typically get the message. “This grant will help Outright Vermont provide critical support services to young Vermonters and help stamp out bullying for good,” Welch says. Demand for Outright’s anti-bullying presentations has exploded over the past two years. During the 20082009 school year, Outright presented

identity or expression, almost all the students participating in Outright’s workshops say they have experienced bullying in various forms. “It’s the ﬁrst time for some of them that they’ve acknowledged it to other people,” says Saben Littleﬁeld, who runs the organization’s anti-bullying campaign. The presentations have had audiences ranging from eight students to 200, depending on the schools’ needs. One popular activity involves an exploration of the gender spectrum. Students are asked to think of the most stereotypically masculine and feminine celebrities. They are pressed to describe what makes these celebrities masculine and feminine, respectively.

EDUCATION

The group then talks about how realistic these gender ideals are. The exercise is meant to show youth that there are many different ways of expressing masculinity and femininity, Littleﬁeld says. Welch is sold on the process. “Vermonters need to look no further than the tragic 2003 suicide of Essex eighth grader Ryan Halligan to understand the horriﬁc consequences of juvenile bullying and harassment,” he says. “In the seven years since, we have made strides in raising awareness of this endemic problem — but we have not solved it.” The earmark will allow Outright to expand its work to rural schools in eight counties — Bennington, Caledonia, Essex, Lamoille, Orange, Orleans, Windham and Windsor — and

help defray Littleﬁeld’s salary and travel costs. The federal funds will also allow the organization to create more permanent programming for LGBTQ youth in Rutland and Brattleboro. “The hope is that the earmark will be a foundation,” Murray says, “and we can hire someone else in one of those underserved communities.” 

The Life of Brian « p.15 that were significantly better than the state average for fourth, sixth and eighth graders. Voters approved every school budget passed by the board during Dubie’s chairmanship. Marla Durham, who served on the Essex Junction school board with Dubie, says he was passionate about education and would use layovers between flights to tour school districts around the country, looking for ideas he could bring home. “We needed, at the time, an Internet policy, and no school system in Vermont was coming up with one,” Durham recalled. “Brian called me from Arizona one evening and said, ‘I just toured a school district in Arizona and found our Internet policy. We’re going to have to tweak it, but I got it.’ He brought back the policy that we used as our basis.” It was on the school board that Dubie forged his relationship with Dorn, who was then board vice chair. Dorn says Dubie helped Essex Junction taxpayers understand the implications of Act 60, the education-cost-sharing law passed in 1997. Concerns over Act 60, which wound up being a losing proposition for Essex, played a part in getting the veteran school board chair to seek statewide office.

n 2000, Dubie ran for lieutenant governor and lost to incumbent Democrat Doug Racine, now one of five Democrats running for the open governor’s seat. Two years later, Dubie tried again and won with 42 percent of the vote in a three-way race with Progressive Anthony Pollina and Democrat Peter Shumlin, who is also a candidate for governor this year. In Montpelier, Dubie took a strong interest in Vermont’s businesses, visiting them whenever he could and emailing reports back to Dorn in the Agency of Commerce and Community Development. “It’s not unusual for me to get three or four of these a week,” Dorn says. “They’d say, ‘I just met with such and such company. They have some permitting issues. Can you give him a call?’ He was very active with us.” In addition to being the governor’s understudy, the lieutenant governor is the Senate’s tiebreaker. Dubie has only been in that position three times, according to Senate records. He voted “yes” in 2007 to exempt towns from paying state fees associated with taking over storm-water permits from developers; he voted “no” that same year

on a bill pertaining to the Vermont Telecommunications Authority; and in 2009, he voted “yes” on a controversial move to let assistant judges serve as probate judges — a provision later stripped from the final bill. On social issues, Dubie is pro-life and opposes same-sex marriage — a fact his Democratic would-be opponents use to argue that he’s out of step with mainstream Vermonters. Dubie opposed civil unions when the legislature, under court order, was debating how to provide marriage equality in Vermont. Video from a public hearing on January 25, 2000, shows Dubie, dressed in a blue pullover, urging a panel of lawmakers to protect “our traditional” marriage. Our families are delicate, Dubie told lawmakers. “They’re under stress in this state, in this country. And if we’re going to break new ground, then we should stick with what our framers said and amend the constitution and give it more than two nights of public input and really study this thing.” Over the years, Dubie has been a darling of the conservative Vermont Right to Life Committee. The group has advocated for Dubie’s reelection in mass mailings and donated money for “phone calling” on his behalf, according to campaign reports. He’s a familiar face in the organization’s quarterly newsletter. Asked about what informs his views on abortion and same-sex marriage, he sidesteps the question and puts the focus back on jobs. “I’m pro-life. The agenda that I’m running on for governor is to grow jobs in our state,” Dubie says. “That’s pretty much who I am and what I’m about.” When pressed about whether he would support laws requiring parental notification or parental consent for minors seeking abortions, Dubie replies, “I’m supportive of involving parents in everything as it relates to their children … I would generally be supportive of that legislation.” Dubie takes a similar tack on the issue of marriage equality. He has denied he would seek to repeal samesex-marriage legislation, but when asked whether he would promise not to pursue a repeal, he dodges the question. “The marriage legislation is passed,” Dubie says. “My agenda is about growing jobs and looking forward.” After eight years in state government’s second-highest office, “Vermonters know who I am,” Dubie says. “When I say my agenda is to grow jobs, they take me at my word.” m

Will Voters Say ‘I Do’ to Same-Sex-Marriage Supporters? Vermont Freedom to Marry hits the campaign trail B Y SHAY T OT T EN

eth Robinson remembers going door to door in the waning days of the 2000 election, handing out campaign literature for imperiled lawmakers who had supported civil unions. In the end, many of them were bounced from the legislature in a tidal wave of “Take Back Vermont” voter anger. As a result of those electoral losses, political control of the Vermont

Not only is the group better prepared, but “I also don’t think the backlash is remotely comparable this time around,” Robinson added. Of the 55 contested House races, Robinson said her organization is monitoring between 15 and 20, and will help if the candidate requests it. In the Senate, the group is monitoring only two or three of the 19 contested races. The coalition has also set up two political action committees (PACs) — Vermont First and Vermont Fund for Families. As of July 15, Vermont First had

them, and I hope overall they’ll still support me based on other things that I have done. It was a meaningful vote for me.” Robinson’s organization is also supporting another challenged Democrat — Rep. Diane Lanpher of Vergennes — to the tune of $250. Like Smith and other Dems in Republican-leaning districts, Lanpher is likely to face questions not just about the marriage vote, but about tax-and-spend policies her party has supported in the past biennium. That said, same-sex marriage does not necessarily break down along party

House of Representatives shifted from Democrats to Republicans. Among the banished were some key moderate Republicans who had supported the civil-union legislation, including Reps. Marion Milne (R-Berlin), Robert Kinsey (R-Craftsbury), Richard Mallary (R-Brookfield) and Sen. Peter Brownell (R-Chittenden). “We’ve learned a lot since then,” said Robinson, the chief strategist of the Vermont Freedom to Marry Action Committee — the organization that lobbied successfully for civil unions and then, last year, for same-sex marriage. “We’re much better organized and prepared to work on elections than we were in 2000. Our strategy up until late 1999 was to keep the issue of marriage equality out of the legislature. Then, in less than an 11-month period, we had to throw together a legislative campaign and an election strategy — all before email was established, without nearly the infrastructure that we have now.”

raised $19,500, $10,000 of which came from in-state donors. It spent about $6500 to pay two part-time field organizers. The Vermont Fund for Families has reported $22,000 in donations since January 2009, predominantly from instate donors. It’s spent only $4200 in recent months — some on candidates, the rest on staff and office expenses. Which campaigns need VTFMAC’s help? Rep. Megan Smith (D-Killington) — one of several Democrats facing tough reelection battles in Rutland County — received a $200 donation. Smith’s GOP challenger is local businessman Jim Eckhardt, who has taken issue with Smith’s same-sex-marriage vote, as well as with her vote to override Gov. Jim Douglas’ budget veto. “I’m proud to take their help and very proud of my vote,” said Smith. One of VTFMAC’s two part-time staffers, Sheryl Rapée-Adams, recently helped her address 150 envelopes. “There are a lot of people in my district who were opposed to that vote,” Smith said, “and I had individual conversations with

lines. “We are making it very clear that we’re not abandoning our Republican friends,” said Robinson. Not all of them need help, though. Several of the Republicans who voted for same-sex marriage are either in uncontested races or not seeking reelection. Former Rep. Rich Westman (R-Cambridge) is running for a Lamoille County senate seat, while Sen. Phil Scott (R-Washington) is going for lieutenant governor. Reps. Patti Komline (R-Dorset), Heidi Scheuermann (R-Stowe) and Anne Donohue (R-Northfield) are all unopposed. Rep. Kurt Wright (R-Burlington) is facing a challenge, but said he’s neither asked for Robinson’s help nor heard from her group. Rep. Rick Hube (R-Londonderry) passed away in the middle of his term, but VTFMAC decided to support his appointed replacement Rep. Oliver Olsen (R-Jamaica). Although he did not hold elected office in 2009, Olsen was present and supported same-sex marriage during some of the GOP

caucus deliberations. “We’ve taken a little heat for that one, but we think it’s only right — Oliver was there during the discussions, and we feel as if we should honor Rick’s vote,” said Robinson. Perhaps the most vulnerable of all the Republicans who supported samesex marriage is Sen. Kevin Mullin of Rutland. He’s facing a primary challenge largely because of his “yea” vote. Four Rutland County Republicans are vying for three seats in the Senate primary. Mullin and incumbent Peg Flory are up against Carolyn Schwalbe and former state Rep. Tom DePoy. Flory voted against same-sex marriage, but was in the House when the vote occurred. She was appointed to the Senate last year. Robinson’s group has donated $100 to Mullin’s campaign. It has also forked over $1500 to the Vermont Democratic House Campaign and $500 to the Vermont Senate Victory PAC. Though plenty of its political allies are running for higher office, VTFMAC is only endorsing a candidate in one race: the Democratic primary for governor. The group picked Senate President Pro Tem Peter Shumlin, who is viewed as a key player in the passage of last year’s same-sex-marriage law, which included a legislative override of Gov. Jim Douglas’ gubernatorial veto. “We’re telling people who showed up to the Statehouse to testify or take part in rallies that, while it was great to have your voice heard, you have to keep that enthusiasm alive when you go out to vote,” said Robinson. “It wasn’t just the coalition that made a commitment to stand by these lawmakers, but a commitment by everyone who helped make this happen. We need to let them know that we’re going to stand with them in this election.” 

Lisa Hopkins and some of her Tap Kids

Dance Tap Kids touring cast members have gone on to even bigger achievements: One is on the television show “Glee”; another has choreographed for both Janet and Michael Jackson and appears in the recent concert film Michael Jackson’s This Is It. Each year, the Summer Intensive serves as the talent pool for new apprentices to the touring show. The current group of Intensive attendees was picked from among 125 dancers who submitted audition DVDs. Half are returnees, says Hopkins, and many are on their fifth year or more. She attributes some of that enthusiasm to the noncompetitive culture she tries to create. Instead of honoring the tap-dance tradition of the “cutting contest,” for example — an improv competition where a dancer performs eight bars, followed by another dancer, and the lesser one is cut — Hopkins organizes a team competition for a pool of money that the winners donate to a charity of their choice. “What I try to do is broaden them as human beings,” Hopkins explains. While learning from her, they learn from each other: “They’re the best where they come from, and then they meet someone who’s the best where they come from. It’s just neat to see these kids from all around the country dancing.” The Intensive’s faculty this year includes Hopkins and eight more “master” teachers — an industry term for talented instructors with Broadway,

television or film experience. Among them is Emmy Award winner Jason Samuels Smith, whom Hopkins describes as “the best tap dancer in the world next to Savion Glover.” Hopkins also brought in some local talent. Burlington resident Sidiki Sylla — the artistic director of Jeh Kulu — will teach an African dance number involving all 53 kids and some of the Jeh Kulu drummers. University of Vermont professor Tom Cleary’s jazz trio will provide live music for other segments of the program. The two-hour performance will include some solos and duets that applicants to the Intensive have already performed at national competitions. “That’s really neat for the audience, because they’re seeing award-winning choreography,” Hopkins says. “It’s such a family-friendly thing,” she says of the showcase. “Boys will like it, too, because there are both boys and girls [in it]. It will inspire everybody.” m

ack in the 1960s, says author CYNTHIA KING, “there was a time when I went to bed with the gods and woke up with them.” King spent years researching and writing In the Morning of Time, a novel that introduces the canon of Norse myths to young readers. Creation and destruction, raging battles, cursed rings and world-strangling sea serpents — she put it all in there. Rather than dumbing down the tangled tales of the medieval Icelanders — which inspired J.R.R. Tolkien, among others — King wove their strands into a single narrative. “I was trying to do what I thought T.H. White had done [with the Arthurian legends] with The Once and Future King,” says King, who’s now 84 and lives in West Lebanon, N.H. Four Winds Press, the hardcover division of Scholastic, put out King’s book in 1970. It garnered good reviews from publications such as School Library Journal and stayed in print for 15 years, King recalls. But in 1985, she “got a letter from a really angry teacher saying, ‘What the hell is going on? I can’t get any books; your publisher doesn’t answer.” King bought out the publisher and began selling remaining copies of the book on an individual basis. Now, 25 years after In the Morning of Time slipped out of print, she’s given it new life with the Authors Guild’s BackinPrint. com Program, which uses the services of print-on-demand giant iUniverse to make its members’ books newly available at no cost to the authors. Sometimes epic and lyrical, sometimes earthy and humorous, King’s book mirrors the various moods of the Norse sagas — which were blood drenched and densely plotted enough to inspire a dozen modern action movies. Scanned from one of the original paperbacks, the new edition contains Gustav Klimtesque early illustrations by New Yorker Charles Mikolaycak, who would go on to win awards for his iconic reimaginings of myths and folktales. King, who obtained permission from Mikolaycak’s estate to use the images, is no stranger to the art world — speciﬁcally the Vermont art world. Her next book, which she plans also to publish through an Authors Guild POD program, is a retrospective of the life

So have fun this week. Be visible. Be safe. Celebrate, and show the world you are Proud! Show your Pride and your sincere thanks by supporting the businesses that supported Pride this year. Lastly, a special thanks to all of the performers and volunteers who donated their time and talents. This is what makes Pride in Vermont special, and we appreciate your support.

SEVENDAYSVT.COM

ur vision for Pride this year is that we, as a community, come together and share a ﬁerce commitment to create a world free of hate, injustice and intolerance. Here in Vermont, this is not such a foreign concept—we’ve fought and won some ﬁerce battles. But we see every day that hate and discrimination endure, both locally and across the globe. This year, we march not only for our rights, but also for the rights and dignity of all those who face discrimination and even death for being gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender. We still need to be visible, take to the streets, and celebrate Pride, so that those who are still persecuted can have hope. We are one human family.

DJ CRAIG MITCHELL SISTER FUNK

When writer Joseph Bruchac heard about SLAMVERMONT’s mission to showcase underrepresented voices in its upcoming festival of short plays, he felt more than an Karin Trachtenberg, right, and interest in participating. He felt Jeff Tolbert rehearse a scene from “Ktsiaiak/Old Ones” a responsibility. “If there’s no play related to the Abenaki community, they’re missing an important part of Vermont diversity,” Bruchac says, “which people have traditionally done for centuries in Vermont.” His play, “Ktsiaiak/Old Ones,” which he cowrote with his son, Jesse, specifically for the festival, will premiere next weekend at the firstever SLAMVermont event at Randolph’s Chandler Center for the Arts. Eight previously unproduced plays — all around 10 minutes long — will go head to head in raucous, slam-poetry style, at the end of which judges, and the audience, will determine a winner. KARIN TRACHTENBERG, who is producing the event with KAREN MALONEY, has been involved since 2003 with SLAMBoston, the original slam-theater event. When she decided to bring the slam to Vermont — she’s a part-time Bethel resident — she sought out Bruchac, a well-known Abenaki storyteller in upstate New York, to contribute. “We were going to give preference to writers in Vermont, but the whole Native American piece was so relevant,” Trachtenberg says. Written in English, with Abenaki words and phrases scattered throughout, Bruchac’s play centers on a courtroom battle over the rights to a Native American burial ground. The topic is dear to his heart. His family was involved years ago in protecting and returning Abenaki remains found in Swanton after someone found a massive burial ground while digging a foundation for a new house. In this case, the bones were saved and returned to the site, but countless other burial grounds have gone unprotected. Connecting with his Abenaki heritage has been a lifelong endeavor for Bruchac, who is 67. He was raised in Greenfield Center, N.Y., by his maternal grandparents, who, like many Native Americans of their generation in the Northeast, downplayed their heritage. Also showing at the slam is a play by New Hampshire 13-year-old Sophia Gilberto called “Never Ending Love,” about a woman’s visits to a nursing home to visit her husband with dementia. Roxbury’s JEANNE BECKWITH will present “Mission to Mars,” about two very different astronauts who lose contact with Earth and can only communicate with each other. LEAH BURDICK, from Hartland Four Corners, and New Yorker Bill Conner are showing “Left Unsaid,” which explores the inner monologues of a couple whose relationship has failed. In “Shortbread,” Barre playwright CHARLES HENRY COBURN follows a 16-year-old boy to a diner where he reconnects with the father who left him as a child. In Bethel playwright MAUREEN HENNIGAN’s “Table for One,” a blind date goes awry. The plays have all been rehearsed, so the event won’t have the improv nature of a poetry slam, but a pair of emcees will be on hand to rile up the crowd. The playwrights seem less concerned about winning than to have a good time and gain a bit more exposure.

Dear cecil, In the movie Rocky IV, Ivan Drago registers a 2150-psi punch. That seems unrealistic to me, and yet I’m hearing Internet rumors about mmA [mixed martial arts] fighters and boxers coming close to that number. Is it possible to throw a punch that hard? What would that sort of power do to someone’s face? Dave

the boxers’ hands and gloves were, how fast they punched, and how rigidly they held their wrists. The three flyweights, interestingly, delivered more oomph than all but the two super heavyweights. • A study of 70 boxers found elite-level fighters could punch with an average of 776 pounds of force. Another study of 23 boxers showed elite fighters were able to punch more than twice as hard as novices, the hardest hitter generating almost 1300 pounds of force. • An oft-cited 1985 study of Frank Bruno, who went on to be WBC heavyweight champ, showed he could punch with a force of 920 pounds in the lab. Researchers extrapolated that to a reallife blow of 1420 pounds, enough to accelerate his opponent’s head at a rate of 53 g — that is, 53 times the force of gravity. • Martial arts punches

he Rocky movies are fiction, Dave. That tells you pretty much all you need to know. But let me add some details. First, we need to clear up the difference between force and pressure. Force is what causes something to accelerate, e.g., a fighter’s head in the direction of a thrown punch. In the U.S., force is normally measured in pounds. Pressure is force per unit of contact area, commonly expressed in pounds per square inch (psi). When researchers study punching ability, they usually focus on force rather than pressure, since the pressure varies as the contact area expands on impact. With that in mind, let’s look at the research: • A study of seven Olympic boxers in weight classes ranging from flyweight to super heavyweight showed a range of 447 to 1066 pounds of peak punching force. Energy transferred from punch to target varied widely depending on how heavy

generally involve much less force than those in boxing. A study of 12 karate black belts showed so-called reverse punches delivered an average force of 325 pounds, with the strongest measuring 412 pounds. Short-range power punches averaged 178 pounds. • Another study found martial artists needed 687 pounds of force to break a concrete slab 1.5 inches thick. One early researcher estimated karate strikes could reach 1500 pounds, but that figure was an outlier. If a punch thrown by Rocky IV villain Ivan Drago is supposed to measure 2150 psi and his glove’s impact area is something like four square inches, he’d be exerting a force of 8600 pounds, or more than four tons. Based on the professional literature, no boxer in real life comes anywhere close to that. I did find a 2007 news account about WBO cruiserweight champion Enzo Maccarinelli, whose punches supposedly packed a wallop of around 3.85 tons. However, the researchers making this claim have yet to publish their findings in a scientific journal, and I’m not taking them seriously until they do. Even without Drago in the ring, boxing is a punishing sport, especially where the head is involved. Damage comes from three things: (1) the impact itself, which may be manifested in, say, a broken jaw; (2) acceleration to the brain leading to abrupt contact with the skull, possibly resulting in

concussion; and (3) the rotational force that twists the brain within the skull, increasing the severity of injury and the likelihood of a knockout. One metric for gauging the risk and seriousness of a brain injury is the Wayne State tolerance curve, which looks at both the g-force imparted to the head and the span of time involved. Generally speaking you don’t want to take a shot of more than 50 g, although you can stand more if the impact is really brief — say, a couple thousandths of a second. If you’re on the receiving end of a Bruno-class impact, my guess is you won’t soon get up. Punches to the head can cause detached retinas, brain hemorrhage, fractured bones and permanent neurological disorders. As I’ve mentioned before, something like a fifth of boxers suffer from dementia pugilistica, the

BLISS

consequence of repeated blows to the skull; it’s characterized by slurred speech and halting gait. Worse can happen. According to one estimate, boxing killed at least 650 fighters from 1918 through 1997. MMA fighters, interestingly, seem to be less at risk. Since MMA rules allow grappling (meaning less punching) and tapouts (giving up), actual knockouts occur only half as often as in boxing. Besides maybe getting killed, cumulative brain damage is the scariest part of boxing, as most fighters now recognize. To quote Terry Marsh, the undefeated light welterweight champion, “I don’t need the British Medical Association to tell me getting hit on the head can’t do me any good.” Muhammad Ali would surely concur.

FoXtRot We just had to ask...

Why does a house across from Burlington’s Centennial Field tell passers-by to “cut consumption, not foreskin”? B Y a l i c e le v i t t

Conn., native says he did indeed settle in the Bay Area, where he cofounded Simpler Software. When his colleagues yielded to the requests of venture capitalists and switched the company’s focus to software for the newly deregulated wholesale electricity market, Kohl headed to Vermont, where he had vacationed for years. Kohl holds a patent for a web-based system called AppEase, which makes it possible to develop applications without writing any code. He has let it lapse and never patented a related invention. In 2006, Kohl founded Pedal Powered Software, which makes systems specifically designed for cycle-shop sales. Since he hasn’t used a car himself since graduating from high school, Kohl says he’s pleased to empower bike shops such as North Star Sports. He’s using the same open-source (FLOSS) technology to create a Java game, just for fun. But what about the house? When Kohl moved to Vermont, he says, he decided to put a long-term plan in action. “When I was in middle school, I told my dad I was going to paint my house purple with pink polka dots when I grew up,” he says. “He told me you can’t do that — that there are rules, regulations and laws against such a thing.” Kohl proved his father wrong. Having made his house stand out, Kohl decided to make a statement with it, too. As long as he’s owned the house, he says, he’s wanted to paint a slogan on it “that would be humorous, while at the same time provid[ing] a message about the environment. I wanted it to be fun

and wacky, so that people wouldn’t disregard it as merely polemical, and the serious message could then sink into them more gently.” The environment isn’t Kohl’s only pet cause. One day while in the shower, he figured out how to combine those concerns with another topic close to his ... heart. “I believe male circumcision is male genital mutilation, causes a lot of trauma, perpetuates male violence (due to unresolved trauma) and reduces sexual pleasure,” says Kohl, who became a member of the foreskin reclamation movement in 1995. At the time, he says, it was a fringe issue even in the gay community, where it had gained the most momentum. “In case you’re wondering, circumcised men can regrow their foreskin,” he adds. Since last summer, many locals have tried to figure out Kohl’s intentions. One even called “The Dennis Miller Show” on the radio to talk about the house’s message. Miller was bemused. One poster on his website ventured the explanation that “all left-wing causes are related.” Kohl’s house has also been mentioned in an online forum for Mothering magazine, whose readers were more supportive. Animated icons are splashed across 19 posts proclaiming, “Awesome!” and “Wow! That is too cool!” For his part, Kohl is surprised by all the ballyhoo about what he thought was a simple, humorous slogan — applied, he points out, with natural, compostable paint. “The message is really that simple,” he says. “There’s nothing hidden. I didn’t expect it to cause so much confusion, actually.” m

ast summer, baseball fans leaving Burlington’s Centennial Field through the front gate got a surprise. The house at 276 Colchester Avenue had long been painted an eye-catching purple with pink polka dots. But now it bore a slogan in bold black letters with white outlines: “Cut consumption, not foreskin.” Across the street, workers at Kampus Kitchen whispered that the house’s owner and his tenants were part of a nudist cult. This wasn’t entirely without reason. According to Jessica Oski, a former Colchester Avenue resident, the home’s owner, Jerri Kohl, “would regularly appear naked around his house and on a monthly naked bike ride.” Kohl’s habit of leaving his lawn wild and untended also annoyed some neighbors and added to his mystique. Another neighbor, David Grist, who’s employed at Gardener’s Supply Company and has never met Kohl, says, “I believe people should be able to have their yards the way they want them to be, within reason. However, you’ve gotta be part of the community.” Oski, who has met Kohl, describes him as “a good guy” with compassion for people’s differences. That’s why she says she was surprised when the slogan went up on his house last year. “The foreskin part seems a little judgmental,” she says. “Not a trait I usually attribute to Jerri.” Many folks in the neighborhood seem to see Kohl as an enigma. When he first moved in a decade ago, Kohl now recounts, rumors circulated that the woman with whom he lived at the time was an heiress. Another rumor claimed he had left California after making a mint in the dot-com boom. That one was closer to the truth. When Seven Days reaches him on the phone, Kohl turns out to be a cheerful 37-year-old, far from a sinister cult leader or deranged hippie. The Fairfield,

Back in the States, the victims’ rights community bellowed for Polanski’s head.

He said he was following July 21, 22, 23, 24 • July 28, 29, 30, 31 the orders of the demonic black Lab who lived next door.

returning to the Judaism of his birth would have done. Still, money and manipulation play walk-on roles in these dramas. What we’re watching is a morality play about the meanings of crime and punishment, a play whose antagonists have shaped the history of the American penal system. On one side are those who seek retribution. To them, criminals, especially sex criminals, are unchangeable (or, in modern parlance, incurable), their sins ©dreamstime.com/Filmspiegel

Redeeming the “Worst” But in the law-and-order 1980s, the punishers began to win. That was thanks to (among other things) racism, political pandering, privatized prisons that lobby for harsher statutes, and a victims’ rights movement that started out distrusting the police but soon married the punitive state, becoming its financial dependent and political helpmeet. Lately, recessionary budgets have opened new space for the rehabilitators. Alternatives to incarceration, especially for nonviolent offenders, are back on the table. Except for sex offenders. The endless sex panic has seen to that. And so Polanski’s and Berkowitz’s cases are not what they were 33 years ago. Polanski’s escape tipped the scales of justice hardly a whit. But it humiliated the district attorney. In the past, the prosecutor might have wiped the egg off his face and moved on.

indelible. The state’s duty, therefore, is not just to protect society but also to avenge the victims. The other side believes, foremost, in rehabilitation — in moral language, redemption. To their supporters, Polanski has attained secular redemption through art; Berkowitz, divine redemption through worship. Evidence overwhelmingly favors rehabilitation. An inmate who kicks drugs and gets a college degree behind bars is less likely to return to crime than one who’s had nothing to do in prison but deal pot and learn how to hack bank websites. A humanely treated prisoner, moreover, is less enraged when he gets out than one who’s been locked in solitary. The rehabilitation principle dominated American criminology for much of the 20th century.

Today, those 48 unserved days allowed current DA Steve Cooley to enlist the U.S. Department of Justice and foreign agents in an extensive international chase. The age of the victim gave him the public support to spend tax dollars on a personal vendetta (and boost his run for state attorney general). “If [Polanski] admitted sleeping with a child, then he should be in prison for the rest of his life,” a typical commenter wrote on a news blog. “Sleeping with” a 13-year-old and sexually assaulting her have now melded both in statute and in public discourse. With the question of her consent deemed irrelevant, the now-adult victim’s beseechings that the prosecutor drop the case could be ignored. Is there no statute of limitations? Not for the sexual abuse of a minor. Moreover, federal law now requires sex-offender registries to list even people who completed their sentences decades ago, according to the laws of decades ago.

loving Americans.” As Americans, they cherish the second chance as a birthright. These folks are not “sex radicals.” They read sexual nonconformity as pathology and trust in cure. Like AA members, the offenders speak of themselves as “in recovery.” Many are devout Christians; prayer accompanies their politicking. They believe in sin — and in redemption. The inmates whose crimes had real victims say they feel remorse, have learned empathy and tried to make amends. I was moved by the respect and compassion they show one another. Yet even these folks can slip into the punitive and paranoid logic of modern sex-offender law. Lobbying their legislatures, some who started out demanding the abolition of the registries as cruel and unusual, and ineffective in protecting the public, now accept registry of “the worst of the worst.” They push to remove only the “low-risk” offenders, such as consensual teen lovers and public urinators, who may compose the majority of the 700,000 registered. This tactic leaves the question unanswered: Who is the worst of the worst? Late on Sunday, during an open-mic session, the group got an answer. “I don’t feel welcome here,” began a tense, middle-aged man named Martin. “You’re all for the ‘innocent’ accused, the falsely accused. But ‘the worst of the worst’ — you’ll leave them to twist in the wind.” He paused, breathing. “Let me tell you who I am.” Then Martin described his crimes: He held up convenience stores and, after robbing the cash register, would make a woman perform fellatio on him at gunpoint. “That’s me. The worst of the worst,” he said. “But I sat in my cell for 20 years trying to figure out what happened, trying to be a different man,” and in the 13 years since his release, he’s been “crime free,” he continued. “I paid my debt. When do I get to stop paying?” First there was silence. Then applause. We looked at each other, as if to ask: Who among us has not sinned? Somebody whispered, “Amen.” m

— punishment, but federal courts have thrown that objection out. The registries are “regulatory, not punitive” measures, judges have ruled, even though registrants are condemned to homelessness, unemployment, civic disenfranchisement, social stigma and violence. The effort to punish Polanski again, and harder, is not uncommon, either. Minor registration infractions — say, failure to report the purchase of a car — can send a sex offender back to prison for as long as his original sentence. I might add that if the photos Polanski took of that 13-year-old ended up online, a person who downloaded them could get more prison time than Berkowitz got for serial murder. And what of Berkowitz? He has been interviewed warmly on Focus on the Family radio. A testimonial tract about his life and faith is distributed at rescue missions and motorcycle rallies. A Texas postal worker runs a website for him, called Arise and Shine, and promotes his book, Son of Hope, on it. Don’t get me wrong. Rehabilition is a good thing. The man went on a homicidal rampage under orders from a dog. He needed treatment, not punishment. But it is one of numerous ironies of the crime and sex panics that some of those responsible for them are now among the only ones able to find good in people written off as evil. I spent a recent weekend with both these groups of people — ex-sex offenders, along with their families and allies, at the national convention of an extraordinary national movement, gathered under the umbrella of RSOL, or Reform Sex Offender Laws. Meeting in the community room of a Washington, D.C., church, the group looked more like a church convention than a civil-rights organization. They were mostly white and middle or working class. Few had ever been involved in politics — until a teenage child was arrested for sex with a 15-year-old, or a brother chatted with a federal agent posing as a minor online. As a group, they are temperamentally libertarian. Yet, from California to Maine, they are writing op-eds, attending community forums, and lobbying to shave away at the massive legal and social iceberg that freezes former offenders out of American life. According to one of their pamphlets, RSOL members are “average, liberty-

he early-morning fog is just beginning to burn off as John Killacky arrives at Windswept Farm in Williston. He’s come to the stables, as he does most mornings around 6:30, to tend to his pony, a Shetland named Pacific Raindrop. While Raindrop is happy to see him, anticipating a little exercise, fresh hay and water — and, of course, a few treats — Killacky is utterly delighted to see her. He straps on a light harness and leads the pony — a roan pinto 42 inches tall — out to a pasture for a quick green snack. “She can eat this for about 15 minutes,” Killacky says. “She’s still getting used to the grass here. Plus, she’s like a vacuum cleaner. She’d eat it all if we let her.” Then Killacky tries to demonstrate some tricks she’s learning, but the little horse isn’t quite ready to show off. Raindrop has been in Vermont just a few weeks, and she’s still getting used to lots of things. The same could be said of her owner: Killacky, 58, moved to Burlington last month from San Francisco and began his new job as executive director of the Flynn Center for the Performing Arts on June 21. That’s when the Flynn’s first and only previous director, Andrea Rogers, passed the torch after 30 years. Killacky had held his previous job, as program manager of the philanthropic San Francisco Foundation, since 2003. He also picked up an equine passion in California: country pleasure driving. That’s a style of competition in which a horse or pony pulls a driver on a small cart, changing its gait in response to the driver’s commands. When Killacky left California, the owners of the stable he’d frequented gifted him with Raindrop. Having a pony of his own fulfills a childhood dream, he says. It also “connects me with this joyful part of my life with my father,” Killacky says, and explains that his dad, with whom he had a “volatile” relationship, used to sell cattle at the Chicago stockyards. “The best time we had was going to the farm together,” he says. But, for Killacky, having a pony and the opportunity to compete — 3-year-old Raindrop will be ready for that in another year — is much more than a simple pleasure. It “gave me my legs back,” he declares. John Killacky does have legs, and the use of them; he can manage short distances unaided, and longer ones with a cane. It takes a close observer to see that his gait is slightly uneven, his steps deliberate. It’s a miracle — or a testament to his will — that Killacky can do any of this. Fourteen years ago, while he was curator of performing arts at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, a tumor was discovered inside his cervical spine. Though benign, it had to be removed. Killacky woke up from surgery to find himself a paraplegic. The experience, he says, was “a nightmare.” Indeed, it’s hard to imagine a more

and a half away. Now, from his apartment in Burlington, he can be at Windswept Farm in 20 minutes. Killacky has another reason to feel “integrated” in Vermont: He’s a gay, married man. He and Larry Connolly, an editor for the literary journal Memoir and a fiction writer, had had a domestic partnership for nearly 12 years when California began granting same-sex marriage licenses, in June 2008. Killacky wasn’t convinced a wedding was necessary — “until we walked into city hall [in October], and there were 40 couples all getting married at once,” he says. “It was profound,” Killacky says. “People were lining the stairwells, all kinds of couples; it was very moving.” But history abruptly changed course less than three months later, when the voters approved Proposition 8 defining “marriage” exclusively as a bond between a man and a woman. A federal suit was filed against Prop. 8 immediately, but until and unless the Supreme Court rules that it violates the constitutional guarantee of equal protection and due process, “we are one of those 18,000 couples in limbo in California,” Killacky says. In Vermont, of course, same-sex marriages are legal. “It’s a civil right,” Killacky states firmly, “and that’s what I learned in [San Francisco] city hall.” Killacky and Connolly didn’t know then that, two years later, they’d be moving to a state where gay marriage is indisputably legal. But when the Flynn offer appeared, Killacky says, “I felt called to come to Vermont.”

devastating turn of events, but Killacky didn’t take it lying down. “Eventually I was able to move a finger, then an arm,” he says, lauding his “very good treatment” at the Sister Kenny Rehabilitation Institute in Minneapolis. “Then I could sit up, but I had to be helped to get into a wheelchair.” One day, while being transferred to the chair, Killacky noticed that he momentarily stood by himself, and he was struck with an idea. “I’d been a dancer for 10 years,” he says, “and I always looked in the mirror for feedback. So I asked for a mirror [in rehab]. I thought I could learn to stand.” After another two weeks of work, he did. “My dancer training got me to stand up,” Killacky says. “My marathon training got me to keep going.” It took another three months before he

could walk — with a cane and a leg brace, since discarded. But, 14 years later, Killacky still exhibits Brown-Séquard syndrome, a loss of feeling and motor skills resulting from a cut spinal cord. “My proprioception is lost,” he says matter of factly, “and I have no hot or cold sensation on the right side, even though it ‘came back’ first.” This is why a man accustomed to intense physical conditioning says the ponies have given him legs. It’s just that the pony is doing the trotting. Killacky notes that working with horses also has given him “a sense of wholeness,” and that’s a feeling he observed upon moving to Vermont as well. “I’ve had great jobs, and I’ve loved them,” he says, “but here I feel my life is integrated.” In California, he says, the stable was an hour

He was already familiar with the Flynn, having “often partnered” with its previous artistic director Philip Bither; one co-commission was the Bill T. Jones dance piece “Last Supper at Uncle Tom’s Cabin.” Later, Bither replaced Killacky at the Walker, where he has been senior curator since 1997. Killacky’s career trajectory could hardly have been predicted from his degree: a BA in psychology and education from Hunter College in 1977. And, though he’d danced for a decade, he soon decided he could be more successful in arts administration. His first two positions were in familiar milieu: Killacky became director of the Laura Dean Dancers and Musicians in 1980, followed by the Trisha Brown Dance

Next: the Walker, where Killacky worked until 1996. While there, the master multitasker also taught classes in dance, theater and studio arts at the University of Minnesota, had frequent speaking gigs, wrote for a multitude of publications and participated — as curator or performer — in numerous multimedia projects. His final year in Minneapolis was momentous: Killacky met his life partner, suffered the ill-fated surgery and got a new job offer. And that’s when Connolly asked him: “Would you rather be in a wheelchair in Minneapolis or San Francisco?” Killacky took the position as executive director of the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts. With a budget of $7.4 million, his résumé indicates, he was “responsible for artistic direction, budget planning and control, organizational planning, fundraising, staff management, public relations, audience development, and community relations” — not so very different from the scope of his responsibilities at the Flynn. Killacky stayed at Yerba Buena for seven years, then moved to the San Francisco Foundation for another seven. During this period, he relearned how to use his body, took up with ponies, and became a filmmaker “on the side.” One he’s particularly proud of is Janis Ian: Live from Grand Center, produced in 2008. Over the next few years, Killacky confides, he plans to make a documentary about choreographer Trisha Brown.

Killacky augmented his professional growth, too, with training in leadership and nonprofit management. This year, he attended the Salzburg Global Seminar for a program titled “The Performing Arts in Lean Times: Opportunities for Reinvention.” This seems par for the course: Killacky says he enjoys being “at the bottom of a learning curve.” Referring to both pony training and heading an arts organization, he says, “It’s fun to do something that takes a long time to do, learning incremental skills — it’s deeply satisfying.” And since his traumatic physical experience, Killacky adds, “I don’t sweat the small stuff.” This equilibrium and sense of purOPEN 7 DAYS! b pose augur well for Killacky’s leader’ ALMOST A MILE PAST GARDENER’S SUPPLY FOLLOW THE BERRY SIGNS TO THE FARM ship style at the Flynn. He comes to it 802–578–9093 in a time of economic downturn, but says the organization is robust, and he intends to keep it that way. He de-12v-AdamsBerries072110.indd 1 7/19/10 scribes his commitment in three parts: to the artistic programming — he raves about the season artistic director Arnie Malina has put together this year; to the educational programming; and to local artist development. On the last point, Killacky says, “Arnie and I have been talking about how we can move some local artists onto the national stage.” Another of Killacky’s goals is to enhance the Flynn’s online presence. “We’re still a one-way institution: ‘Come see/do this,’” he says. “I’m interested in whether we can build an interactive relationship — I want it to be less about us and more about them,” he says of the patrons, students and artists who use the facility. Killacky’s bent toward forming what he calls “authentic relationships” is confirmed in an April San Francisco Chronicle article announcing his departure from the San Francisco Foundation. Director Sandra Hernández told the paper that Killacky “transformed the regional arts scene” and “forged meaningful partnerships.” The Chronicle reporter adds that Killacky has been “an indefatigable community builder.” Killacky himself states modestly that his mission is to serve artists, but his target audience in Vermont is likely to be … everyone. After a “smooth” transition into his new job, Killacky says, “everyone here is taking a breath together, looking at what we can do perhaps differently, but we’ll build on our assets.” He believes in putting one foot in front of the other while also envisioning the future. “If you only look at right now,” he says, “you’ll only take one step.” Meanwhile, Killacky anticipates stepping — on his own and with his pony — into his first snowy winter in a long time. “I’m a three-legged man,” he jokes. “I’ll be fine.” Raindrop’s job? To grow a warm coat of fur. Both will be learning new tricks. m

Company in 1983. In those relatively small organizations, he had the opportunity to hone skills in everything from tour booking to marketing to financial management. All of which served Killacky well when he made a leap to general manager of PepsiCo Summerfare, the (now-defunct) performing-arts festival at SUNY Purchase with a budget of nearly $2 million. Financially speaking, the next rung in Killacky’s ladder was a steep one: From ’86 to ’88, he was the program officer for the Pew Charitable Trusts, a nonprofit granting organization whose culture budget alone was some $23 million. Killacky’s role was to develop policies and guidelines for applications, as well as to evaluate proposals in the arts.

ave you driven north on Route 30 or east on Route 25 lately? No? Then you haven’t seen the “Take Back Vermont” signs that are still up, a year after Vermont passed legislation legalizing same-sex marriage, and 10 years after the state created civil unions. Those signs still proclaim that being gay is not OK. Can you imagine what it’s like to be a young, queer person riding a school bus past that message every day? A queer Vermonter commuting to work? A recently hitched same-sex couple heading to a country B&B on their honeymoon? Legalizing same-sex marriage was a long-overdue, critical victory in the fight for gay rights. But I fear that many members of the queer community — the ones with financial, political and social means — see marriage as the end of the fight for a safe, fair and equal Vermont. To them, I would say: You, the adult queer with your chosen family, a job and home, may be better off, but I don’t think we are. Marriage doesn’t address the unresolved needs of the queer youth, trans people, single queers, gender-variant individuals, alternative family and relationship seekers, perceived-to-be-queer people, queer service members and their families, food, and housing-insecure queers, and many other subsectors of Vermont’s queer community. For example, the CDC’s 2009 Youth Risk Behavior Survey reports that queer

students are still twice as likely as their heterosexual peers to be bullied in our public schools. A gay Vermonter in the military, if outed, can still be dishonorably discharged, stripped of medical coverage and denied the education he or she deserves through the GI Bill. My male friend who wears a pink bike helmet around Burlington regularly hears screams of “faggot!” from passing cars. My point is: Yay for gay marriage! But let’s not stop there. We can legislate social change all we want, but laws do not eliminate fear, hate, bias or bullying for any of us, especially those most in need. Those “Take Back Vermont” signs are proof. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that many in the national and Vermont queer and allied communities see marriage as the last galvanizing cause. After 40 years, we now have a community with a generation that “missed” Stonewall, the AIDS crisis, and other visible fights for equity, inclusion and justice. How will young queer people learn about this movement and what it has taken to get us to marriage? Without a sense of this history, how can we expect to envision justice for all beyond marriage? Who is going to tell these stories? Where will they tell them? Right now, our history is being commercialized and packaged into a corporate fad. Remember how Gap made it cool to care about people dying of AIDS in Africa? Well, gay marriage looks like the next hip social cause.

The mainstream is allowed to rage on with heteronormative media, policies and behaviors. When we show up, together, we are fiercer, stronger and more beautiful. In Vermont, we may no longer have a gay bar or a queer newspaper. We may not have a gay destination town. We may not have a Gay-Straight Alliance Club in every school. But we do have each other, and this is the core of what our community has always been about. We may not always get along, we may not always “get” each other, and some of us may not even be queer — but we are a family. A big, fierce, fabulous and flashy chosen family. So, support your family. Show up at Pride. Donate to one of the queer organizations that is helping to protect and support the community. Volunteer! Join a board, mentor a queer youth or march in Pride. Become a GSA advisor in your school or, as a parent or community member, advocate for one to start. Vote for politicians who are vocal allies. Check your workplace’s antidiscrimination polices and help update them to be inclusive of all queers. Use the word “queer” — go ahead, try it out, take it back. It is easy to mess with one queer. But five of us? Twenty? A hundred? A few thousand? In a state like Vermont, we need to be able to show our numbers — queer and allied alike. So, come find me. Let me find you. Let’s go to Pride this weekend. Let’s celebrate our lives, our love, our community. And after that, let’s keep it going. Someday, maybe those signs will finally come down. 

8 gay- marriage ban and Pride, go-go boys sporting undies with “legalize gay” across their tight butts, I fear that the marriage movement is quickly becoming a fad. And what happens to fads? Maybe I will write about that on my LiveJournal or, better yet, write a song to post on MySpace. Marriage alone can’t bring us a vibrant queer community. Think about gay neighborhoods in bigger cities, or smaller destinations such as Provincetown. What is it that makes those places feel welcoming? It isn’t marriage — Massachusetts only just legalized that. It’s visibility. It’s queer people proudly displaying rainbow flags on their businesses and homes. It’s queer people walking hand in hand everywhere (not just down the main drag). It’s queer people gathering at gay bars, events and community centers to see each other and, more importantly, be seen. Visibility has an impact — the “Take Back Vermont” signs are proof of that, too. So many queers and allies came out to rally for the freedom to marry last year. Can you imagine what would happen if we all took on bullies together? Bring it! It takes all of us committing to each other to stay engaged in the fight for everyone else. All Vermonters, straight or queer, have the responsibility to make sure our schools are safe, that transfolk are not fired based on their identities and that all families are given the protections they deserve. We shouldn’t rest until every Vermont queer knows they are not the only one. Are you too busy? Are you too comfortable? Are you not an “activist”? Are you not into being visible? Visibility is how queer people have proven to the world that we’re not only here, but we deserve to be here. When we stop showing up, we lose ground.

SD: When did the Faerie movement begin? E: The Faerie movement began in the mid-1970s through groups meeting in certain urban areas like San Francisco. [They were] people who were interested in exploring spirituality and sexuality. At the same time, in New England, there was a magazine called RFD that tried to network gay men who had gone back to the land. They left urban society and moved to the country, but didn’t have any connections. Nineteen-seventy-nine was the first official gathering, in Arizona, and it was called by a man named Harry Hay. He is seen by many people as the founder of the Radical Faeries, but that’s very simplistic. He called the first gathering.

COURTESY OF FAERIE CAMP DESTINY

eep in the woods at the junction of Grafton, Chester and Rockingham lies a sanctuary for Faeries. But these aren’t your average Tinkerbells. Many of these Faeries have beards, tattoos and piercings. Sometimes they dress in drag, and other times they wear nothing at all. They honor the earth and each other. And they love camp. Welcome to Faerie Camp Destiny, the Radical Faerie sanctuary of New England and one of 10 such refuges around the world. For the past 20 years, a group of Radical Faeries — typically gay men with a bent toward environmentalism and spirituality — has been slowly building a retreat on 166 acres that the consensus-based nonprofit owns in Windham County. The Faeries number about 50 core members, with roughly 200 more who participate less regularly and nearly 1000 on their mailing list. Recently they finished work on their kitchen — a straw-bale, timber-frame structure designed and built entirely by Faeries. Endora is one of them. (Members of Faerie communities have a strong tradition of naming themselves, and some never know each other’s real names.) He has been involved with the community since its inception and, because Faerie Camp Destiny has no appointed leader, Endora serves as the organization’s de facto spokesperson. When he’s not walking the sanctuary’s labyrinth or dancing around a fire, Endora, who lives in Lincoln, teaches comparative religion courses at a local college. He agreed to chat with Seven Days about the sanctuary, the role of Radical Faeries and what it means to go to camp.

SD: So the movement is intentionally leaderless? E: Yes, absolutely. There are no leaders. It’s anarchist in that way. We run everything by consensus, so any person has the ability to block a decision. What we try to do is listen so the whole group can go forward with a decision together. SD: That sounds hard. E: Yes, it’s hard, and yet we’ve bought 166 acres in Vermont together. We’re really committed to consensus as the way we make decisions. Partly because queer people have been marginalized in decision making for a long time.

The vanity plate of the real estate agent said DESTINY. So we started calling it Destiny, which was a little hokey for all of us. SD: So “camp” is a double entendre? E: Yes, for campy, queer stuff. Plus, we camp out. SD: Tell me, what is your definition of a Radical Faerie? E: Radical Faeries are notorious for refusing to be defined. I would say that Radical Faeries are predominantly gay men who want to figure out who they are in relation to each other and to the

earth. During the 1970s, right after Stonewall, the question was, What does it mean to be gay? Does it mean we are just like everybody else except for who we love? Or is there more to it? Is there a spiritual component to it? The Faeries started off as a way to explore that, more or less. Another thing that’s really key in the Radical Faeries is the connection to the earth. I think, for a lot of queer people, they’ve been told they’re unnatural at every level, so part of it is returning to nature and seeing who you are in nature when left to your own devices.

SD: How did Faerie Camp Destiny originate? E: Since the Faeries began, there’s always been a New England circle. In the late ’80s there came to be a desire to have our own sanctuary here. In 1993, we began the process. We found land down in southern Vermont that we could afford and that met our needs in terms of privacy and seclusion. We bought it in 1996, and we’ve been there ever since. SD: What will Faerie Camp Destiny look like when it’s finished? E: One hundred acres will be off limits, set aside for conservation. Then there’s a small parcel of 15 acres that is now a meadow with a kitchen in it. It will probably have a workshop and a few small cabins around it and some tent platforms. Eventually we want to have

SD: It seems like what you’re doing sort of bucks the stereotype of what a gay man is. Is that intentional? E: Well, some of it is intentional. I don’t think it’s against effeminacy, which is not a problem from our view. But the question is, if you come at it from more of a tribal or indigenous perspective, what is the role of queer folks on the land outside of urban environments? There’s a desire to not replicate bar culture or assimilation. Some of my favorite images from Faerie gatherings have been this really butch guy with a beard chopping wood, and he’s in a little miniskirt. So all these kinds of juxtapositions of unlikely things

are part of what to me is most interesting in Radical Faerie aesthetic; this putting together of things that don’t match, and somehow they all reflect some type of cohesive identity.

SEVEN DAYS

SD: What do you get out of being a Faerie? E: Well, it’s changed over the years. When I lived in the city, it was a great opportunity to get out in nature with other gay people and also have a sense of humor and camp and fun. I never wanted to go hiking with the L.L. Bean gay hiking club. But being out in the woods with a bunch of other sissies was great. And being out in nature when you lived in New York was great. But now that I live in nature all the time, it has different meaning. For me these days, a lot of it has to do with feeling like you’ve found your people. You’re with other people who share a love of the earth and embrace sexuality as a good thing, who share a deep suspicion of gender and the roles that society puts us in and who have a real sense of play about everything. Nothing is sacred, except maybe the earth. And even that you have to make fun of. There’s this real awareness that I have never seen anywhere else that something can be held as sacred and can still be totally held up to camp and parody and wit. m

SD: Who are the Faeries in Vermont? E: It’s a wide circle. Destiny has a lot of Vermonters involved. It has a lot of “alternative lifestyle” people, meaning people who live in communal homes, or hippie types who are gay and don’t always feel fully included or visible in those communities. We also have a good many people who are urban, and this is their way to get out in the country and reconnect with nature. I think a lot of Faeries are queer people who are connected to the earth in some way, searching for some sense of spirituality, and yet feel the need to be self-determinative, autonomous beings, not buying into any kind of cult or dogma. What we think holds us together is getting to know each other as complete

SD: So what happens at Faerie camp Destiny? E: We have these weekend to weeklong gatherings. It’s the usual camping-outin-the-woods stuff. They aren’t scheduled, by and large. Among the things that happen are morning heart circles, which are circles where people speak what’s in their hearts. And we try to learn about what it means to be queer through that. It can go for hours. At night there’s usually fire circles with drumming and dancing. There are also rituals, which are not part of any particular tradition, but tend to be earth based and earth worshipping.

And vivacious banter feels even more like tiresome prattle when the actors deliver it sitting or standing in place, because the director hasn’t given them anything to do. Perhaps Ouellette was preoccupied with his frenzied choreography for Madame Arcati (Agnes Cummings), who wriggles and flops around the large set like a migrating salmon. But when Cummings calmly arches an eyebrow or lowers her voice to toss off one of Arcati’s muddled metaphors, she proves how the preceding silly antics trade the character’s charm, and the actor’s talents, for cheap laughs. Sarah Carleton, as Ruth, delivers the weakest performance. Her accent sounds like a bad parody of Vivien Leigh

But the most polished element on stage is Wahhab herself, who twinkles with confidence as she relishes Coward’s delicious bons mots. The wardrobe choices for other characters appear less inspired — atypical for the talented Kurland, who is the go-to costume designer for Vermont’s professional theaters.

hen World War II began, Englishman Noël Coward (1899-1973) set aside his flourishing theatrical and musical career to serve his country by joining Britain’s Secret Service. Prime Minister Winston Churchill, however, knew that buoying up British morale, especially among civilians, was essential to the war effort. Britons faced the terror of nighttime German air raids and the ever-present threat of invasion. Churchill saw a higher calling for the playwright, composer and performer than carrying out intelligence work. “Go and sing to them when the guns are firing,” he commanded Coward. “That’s your job!” Shortly after Nazi bombs destroyed Coward’s own London digs, he penned the escapist comedy Blithe Spirit (1941). It took him just five days to write the three-act play, in which a medium muddles a man’s second marriage by mistakenly materializing his first wife’s ghost. Six weeks later, Coward directed the London premiere. His show struck a profound chord with his countrymen; the original West End run of 1997 performances outlasted the war 8v-CCTV072110.indd 1 7/19/10 10:43:50 AMitself. Sadly, the current production of Blithe Spirit at St. Michael’s Playhouse is neither blithe nor spirited. Director Thomas Ouellette almost makes the witty script into an interminable “Saturday Night Live” sketch. Only Audra Wahhab’s engaging turn as the spousal specter Elvira truly enlivens the evening.

Once Charles convinces Ruth that he hasn’t gone bonkers, the “astral bigamist” must mediate between bickering brides. Ruth fears that Elvira wants to bring Charles to the Other Side forever by killing him. Of course, nothing goes as planned — for anyone. Can Madame Arcati’s modest mastery of magic make things right? Ouellette’s mosh pit of clumsy directorial moves bruises Coward’s exquisitely told tale. Slapstick sight gags and cartoonish British accents deaden the airy appeal of the sophisticated repartee and slow the pace of an already-long show. The caricatured Brit-speak actually makes some of the dialogue difficult to understand.

doing Scarlett O’Hara. This compounds Carleton’s problems in establishing Ruth’s likeability and chemistry with Charles. Since we don’t care about Ruth or her marriage, many scenes drag, and we root for Elvira. On opening night, Carleton also stumbled over lines several times. This is understandable for a nervous communitytheater amateur; for an Equity-Cardcarrying actor (and University of Vermont theater professor) in a professional production, not so much. Paul Joseph Bernardo’s portrayal of Charles suffers from the effects of Ouellette’s stilted direction and a stiff Ruth. Charles seems boring rather than boorish, dull instead of droll. Bernardo’s performance improves markedly, however, when Charles and Elvira spar. The “blithe” begins to come alive as he and Wahhab feed off the dialogue’s rhythm. Wahhab is absolutely luminescent portraying the pert, petulant poltergeist. Elvira’s impish inner nature radiates from Wahhab’s upturned eyes and playful smile. She moves like a lithe, leggy sprite, perching on chair backs and draping herself

conjures convincing effects, especially the scratchy gramophone playing Irving Berlin’s “Always” during Madame Arcati’s séances. “Always” is also Charles and Elvira’s love song. And it highlights the cheeky play’s incredibly poignant subtext. When Blithe Spirit opened in July 1941, World War II had already taken many British lives. Everyone knew that many more deaths were to come. Coward and his audience laughed together about summoning loved ones back from the Great Beyond. At the same time, they realized loss might drive many of them to share the fantasy that Berlin’s ballad underscores mournfully: I’ll be loving you / Always... / Not for just an hour, / Not for just a day, / Not for just a year, / But always. m Blithe Spirit, directed by Thomas ouellette, produced by St. Michael’s Playhouse.

ichard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II invented the modern American musical, a play in which storytelling drives the singing and dancing. Starting with Oklahoma! in 1943, the team collaborated on nearly a dozen shows, until lyricist Hammerstein’s death in 1960. Several have remained wildly popular since they debuted. When ownership of the musicals’ rights was sold last year, the duo hit number two on Forbes’ list of Top-Earning Dead Celebrities. They easily beat the combined 2009 paychecks of Michael Jackson, Elvis Presley, John Lennon and Jimi Hendrix. South Pacific (1949) embodies why the musicals of Rodgers and Hammerstein continue to appeal to thespians and theatergoers alike. An exotic backdrop frames an accessible story. Catchy songs express universal truths. There is nothing like a dame! And who doesn’t wish for an enchanted evening to find your true love? Even if you sometimes later need to wash that man right outta your hair. At the Hyde Park Opera House, the Lamoille County Players dive exuberantly into South Pacific. On opening night, the lack of air conditioning made it subtropically steamy inside. But the enthusiasm of director Dean Burnell’s 30-person cast never wilted. Highlights abound in LCP’s production: engaging singing; the live orchestra’s smooth, hearty sound; impressive scenic design, lighting and props. And Dan Martin’s lusty, laugh-out-loud funny performance as SeaBee Luther Billis makes a long drive from anywhere in Vermont worthwhile. The show is based on Tales of the South Pacific (1948), a Pulitzer-Prize-winning collection of short stories by U.S. Navy veteran James Michener, who served in the Solomon Islands during World War II. Hammerstein fused three Tales to create the musical’s characters and storyline. On a sleepy isle away from the fighting, nurses and navy men busy themselves with nonmartial pursuits: rehearsing the Thanksgiving show, falling in love. SeaBees and sailors are forbidden to date nurses, who are officers. Also off limits: boating to nearby Bali

JEB WALLACE-BRODEUR

t his home on pastoral Gilead Brook Road in Bethel, Tom Bivins keeps pigs — two Tamworth and two Tamworth-Berkshire-cross piglets, to be exact. He expects to add four more piglets in the coming weeks, he says, tightening a screw on the house he’s building for the chicks added to his menagerie two weeks before. But Bivins, executive chef of the New England Culinary Institute, isn’t your average rustic homesteader. His yard boasts a wood-fired clay oven, its beehive-shaped doors salvaged from the historic Boston home next door to Paul Revere’s. His new chicks, Rhode Island reds and whites and a pair of fluffy black silkies, were a birthday gift from Bivins’ husband, Bennett Law. “At first I was like, ‘Oh, great,’” Bivins says, rolling his eyes. “But they’re a fun project.” The chicks did siphon his time away from another summer endeavor: building a smokehouse. Bivins was planning to bring NECI students over to help him make bacon from the piglets, which he will slaughter in November. Right now, though, he’s preoccupied with his chicken house. “Here’s the gay part: It had to match the house,” he jokes. It does. Perfectly. These days, most top chefs in Vermont adhere to a fairly strict localvore lifestyle, but few do it on the same level as Bivins. As president of the Vermont Fresh Network and faculty advisor to the Slow Food NECI Convivium, he has taken leaps in ensuring the sustainability of NECI’s academic programs. Local diners are likely to know him as the architect of the popular farm-to-table dinner menu at NECI’s Montpelier restaurant, Main Street Grill & Bar. Bivins graduated from NECI in 1990

and started working at Shelburne Farms just as the Vermont Fresh Network was being established. “I really fell in love with the idea of a working landscape,” he says. Bivins proceeded to bring that philosophy home and everywhere he worked. The Pitcher Inn and The Old Tavern at Grafton were stops before he returned to his alma mater as an instructor in 2003. And in 2002, when the couple got their civil union, Bivins moved into Law’s 1842 house and added “gentleman farmer” to his various culinary titles. Law, now vice president of transformation and web strategies at National Life in Montpelier, had already lived there for 23 years and was no slouch in the kitchen himself. Popular in the community for his annual community pig roast, Law brags about his butchering skills — he dispatches pigs with a vertical incision, he says, not the horizontal ones local farmers used before he came to town. Law says it was Bivins’ skills in the kitchen that seduced him. “Early on, after we first started going together,” he recalls, he opened up the fridge at LISTEN IN ON LOCAL FOODIES...

“Bivins’ home in Warren and declared, ‘There’s nothing to eat in this house.’ There was a jar of mustard and some maraschino cherries.” But “somehow,” recalls Law, “he made an exquisite meal that night. It’s a gift he has.” For his part, Bivins says, he was just enthralled to have “the hot guy I’d been stalking for two years” at his home. Bivins first cooked for Law in 1997 at a Vermont People With AIDS Coalition event Law was hosting. He cooked at another of Law’s events, this one for Vermont CARES, before he worked up the guts to ask out his crush. Because of confusion with another chef named Tom, Law thought Bivins was a straight divorcé, but the mix-up was short lived.

Last October, they were legally married, precisely seven years and six months after their civil union. By then, Bivins had hit his professional stride. In 2004, he became NECI’s executive chef — just a year after joining the faculty. Though he has no formal background in education, he says he’s always believed that part of being a good chef is passing one’s skills to others. In 2009, Bivins brought his expertise in homegrown cooking to Main Street Grill & Bar. When he introduced the farm-to-table dinner menu, he says, some longtime customers balked at the prospect of trading their fish and chips for market fish of the day with gnocchi, wild mushrooms, spring onions and nettle-butter sauce. But Bivins hopes to train diners to eat more creative fare and spend their dollars supporting local farms. His involvement with Slow Food led him to another brainstorm for the Main Street Grill: a menu of Mediterranean small plates that has been available in the downstairs lounge since last fall. Bivins says he fell in love with the “specific, piquant” foods that he sampled in and around Italy when he attended Slow Food’s Terra Madre summits there with the NECI delegation. His own diverse menu includes traditional tapas dishes, but also Middle-Eastern-style chicken wings, Italian gnocchi and a Provençal goat-cheese galette. To raise money to send NECI’s representatives — one chef and one student — to the Terra Madre conferences, which are known as the UN of sustainable food, Bivins and his students have concocted another creative dining option. Their series of monthly dinners at Chef’s Table, NECI’s private dining room, has already showcased the students’ savvy with pork and sustainable seafood. This Friday, they’ll serve vegan fare. A meat-free meal may seem like an odd project for a chef who says he finishes his pigs on hazelnuts for “a tannic flavor.” Not at all, says Bivins. He PRIDE IN PLACE

State Street in Montpelier, has served Italian- and French-inspired American cuisine — think roasted duck breast with sweet-potato gnocchi in cherry-port sauce and fried artichoke salad with arugula and anchovies. But, despite good reviews from customers, the restaurant ran into trouble when the economy tanked. On February 4, 2009, Chef aaron MIllon asked his patrons for help turning the spot into a community-supported restaurant. The appeal, he

A note on its website reads: “After great deliberation and exhausting any and all scenarios that would have allowed us to stay in our wonderful current location, the numbers just stopped adding up.” Calls to Millon weren’t returned by press time, but his note does hint at the restaurateur’s future plans — in the Queen City. “As we are in the stages of choosing the most suitable Burlington location,” writes Millon, “one that will accommodate our supper-club concept, details cannot yet be announced.”

focused on how he makes the restaurant’s roasted-garlic sauce. “They were amazed that we peel all our garlic by hand and that we go through 200 pounds a week,” says Bove. The crew even stayed for dinner at the restaurant, which opened in 1941 and hasn’t changed much since. Half the TV folks tried the garlic sauce, says Bove, while the other half sampled the lasagna he’d pitted against Flay’s. Once they had a taste, Bove says, “They were all pissed that I lost.” Who recommended the restaurant? Bove’s contract prevents him from naming names, but he does say, teasingly, “She loved it.” Could it have been University of Vermont grad and “Ten Dollar Dinners” host Melissa d’Arabian, who visited the Italian eatery when she came to town in June? The Food Network also

made a stop at a sInglE PEBBlE. The restaurant’s chef/owner, ChIuho Duval, could not be reached for comment. However, nIColE ravlIn, Bove’s PR person at PMg PuBlIC rElatIons, was able to confirm a few details. She says Duval, who replaced A Single Pebble founder stEvE Bogart, prepared his mock eel recipe at the request of none other than “Good Eats” host Alton Brown.

Though I’m usually the one doing the critiquing, this time I was on the chopping block. I was playing at being a contestant on a “Top Chef”-style cooking show and, so far, my panel of judges was unimpressed. The goal had been to create a dish that featured every color of the rainbow, which is tougher than it sounds. Plenty of foods are red or green, but how many are blue or purple? A fruit salad, the simplest solution, seemed like a massive cop-out. So I’d stirred green scallions and blue cheese into yellow cornmeal as it cooked, and then topped the finished product with roasted red peppers and sweet, briny shreds of orange lobster. The skin of my eggplant had gone from a lovely violet to dull brown 5371 RT.7, NORTH FERRISBURGH, 1/4 MILE SOUTH OF DAKIN FARM in the oven, so at the last minute, I dropped RESERVATIONS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED • 877-6316 • WWW.STARRYNIGHTCAFE.COM a curl of Purple Haze carrot on each plate.

Watching competition-style TV reality shows, it’s easy to think you could build a better raft, perform a perfect paso doble or fry up a better batch of frites. But it’s hard to account for what happens when your perfect plans begin to crumble. Out of time, I felt my pride wither as the panel of adjudicators grabbed plates I wasn’t pleased with. There was a smile on my face, but all I could think about was that morning’s chicken incident. It was the kind of time-wasting misstep that can knock a promising “Top Chef” contestant right out of competition.

the popular cooking competition show on iTunes, I was quickly hooked. Every episode includes two competitions. The first, called a “quick fire,” throws contestants into a high-intensity battle against the clock and each other. Then, in the lengthier “elimination challenge,” the aspiring stars must prove their mettle or go home. The show wraps up with a segment at the “judges’ table,” where the chefs are praised or excoriated by an elite panel of eaters.

It was a relIef not to have to serve my less-than-perfect dIshes to famed restaurateurs such as hubert Keller and eric ripert.

Inspired by the show to make every dish memorable, I found myself wasting less food and getting more creative. After some practice, I could even deftly cut a carrot into perfect, eighth-inch brunoise cubes. The week before my little self-competition, reveling in a couple of culinary triumphs — an heirloom-tomato and goatcheese salad garnished with crispy sage, and a satiny soup made with carrot tops and pea shoots — I boasted to anyone who would listen that watching “Top Chef” was making me a better cook. Then hubris ran away with me. To prove my point, I asked my coworkers to assign me culinary challenges and agreed to assemble a panel of judges to evaluate the results. I nixed some of the suggestions — such as cooking while tied to my husband, which sounded like a recipe for divorce — and settled on three favorites. In addition to preparing a rainbow-hued plate, I

for the breasts and thighs. They’d play a starring role in my cold picnic lunch. As soon as food writer Alice Levitt suggested a challenge based on kiddie lit, I thought of The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame. The story features anthropomorphized British animals who picnic and gallivant around the countryside. In a slightly macabre turn, they often dine on dishes made from creatures that might otherwise have been their woodland friends, such as hares and pheasants. Since the other challenges required making several hot dishes, a cold picnic seemed like the perfect counterpoint. I planned a sugar-snap pea and tomato salad

agreed to create a three-course dinner out of ingredients typically used in breakfast and make a meal based on a favorite children’s story. On the big day, I worked up my menus and headed to the store, where I allowed myself $50 and 30 minutes of shopping per challenge. In the meat department, I noticed the plump chicken I had my eye on had already reached its sell-by date. “If you were getting judged on your cooking, would you serve this bird?” I asked one of the butchers. “It’ll be just fine,” he replied. Uncertain but trusting, I plopped the chicken in my cart.

with toasted hazelnuts and crème fraîche tarragon dressing, slices of tea-smoked chicken and spicy pickles, to acknowledge the influence of Indian flavors on English cuisine. For dessert there would be gooseberry “fool,” a simple dish made by blending homemade gooseberry jam with sweetened whipped cream. As I prepared the picnic for the “judges’ table,” I felt pleased with the food I’d produced. But would the panel be able to forgive me for the polenta? On score sheets where they rated the appearance and taste of each dish on a scale of one to five, two judges said the mush was “underseasoned.” Another criticized its “muddy colors.” Several others found it just so-so. Happily, aside from the mostly unpopular fruit fool, the picnic was more popular. “The chicken was incredible,” one judge wrote. “The flavor, texture and moisture content were perfect.” Said another: “The [snap-pea salad] was the best thing on the menu. I really loved the dressing, and the [hazelnuts] were a great addition.” But, even as I reveled in the praise, I knew I was about to have egg on my face

At home, with my trusty scribe, Seven Days food intern Maggie Dodson, recording my every move, I sliced open the chicken bag … and nearly lost my breakfast. The meat smelled putrid, and a vigorous scrub in hot water did little to improve the situation. Into the trash it went, and Maggie headed for the store to find a new, less foul fowl. Looking at my list of things to do, I knew I was in trouble: I’d planned to complete all of my cooking in the next four hours, and several of my dishes called for chicken stock, which needs to simmer for at least three. So I busted out as much prep work as I could, piling chopped vegetables neatly on saucers and plucking herbs from my container garden. Maggie returned 51 long minutes later with a pudgy chicken better smelling than the previous one. With a razor-sharp boning knife, I took it apart, nearly slashing my own stomach in the process. I managed the task in two minutes, 30 seconds and six milliseconds — not nearly as fast as “Top Chef” speed demon Hung Huynh, but not too shabby, either. The wings, drumsticks, body and giblets went into the stockpot. I had other plans

again. I’d failed to meet the parameters of my final contest: Choose eight ingredients from a list of 10 that are commonly used in breakfast dishes and make a three-course dinner from them. Of the items fellow writer Lauren Ober had suggested, I chose to use eggs, sausage, raisin bran, sweetened yogurt, orange juice, fresh berries, potatoes and bacon. How do you work raisin bran into dinner? I did it by pulverizing the bran flakes in a blender with some toasted walnuts, adding melted butter and turning the mixture into a crust for quiche. I mixed up the custard, poured it over homemade sage-and-nutmeg sausage and sautéed chard, and popped the quiche in the oven with just 45 minutes until I had to meet the judges. Running out of time — up to my ears in bubbling polenta, with the quiche cooking and several condiments still to make — I realized my potato puffs with bacon lardons were never going to happen, meaning some of the required items would go unused. But my dessert — Liberté French Vanilla yogurt topped with blueberries and blood-orange syrup I’d made earlier — would be a snap. Just like the contestants on “Top Chef ” who fail to complete a challenge to the letter, I would stand behind the two dishes I did make. The quiche crust tasted good but wasn’t a hit with the judges — it was a little too hearty for the delicate custard. If I made it again, I’d fill it with something more robust, such as a pumpkin cheesecake. The yogurt with berries and bloodorange syrup got raves, though. “It is what it is,” I muttered to myself as I read the mixed reviews. I concluded that trying to do three challenges at the same time had been pretty silly. Had I been a real “Top Chef” contestant, the judges might have asked me to “pack my knives and go” because of my poor polenta, or for failing to produce potato puffs. It was a relief not to have to serve my less-than-perfect dishes to famed restaurateurs such as Hubert Keller and Eric Ripert. The judges I did have — one of whom confessed to eating mostly mozzarella sticks and chicken fingers, while another had a distaste for dairy products of any kind — were tough with their comments but generous with their scores. I ended up with an average rating of four out of five. In any case, I didn’t undertake these challenges in hopes of winning $100,000 and an article devoted to me in Food & Wine magazine. I wanted to test my own ingenuity and flexibility and invent recipes I might make again — and in that regard, I succeeded. Maybe someday I’ll be confident enough to take a stab at reality TV. In the meantime, if you’ve got a cooking challenge … bring it on! m 2v-GroundRound070710.indd 1

REcIPES Because I created these dishes on the fly, with no time to mess around with teaspoons and timers, they specify few measurements or cooking times. Just make sure to taste everything as you cook, and adjust seasonings to fit your palate.

Quick Pickles 3 medium cucumbers Cider vinegar Sugar Salt Ground cinnamon Ground ginger Ground cardamom A pinch of ground cayenne pepper Slice cucumbers very thin — I used a Japanese mandolin. Unlike me, please use the guard. (I took off a bit of my fingertip.) put the cucumbers in an 8-inch square baking dish or something similar. In a medium saucepan, heat a couple cups of vinegar with the remaining ingredients until it reaches a rolling boil. I used a few tablespoons of sugar, perhaps a teaspoon of salt, and about a half-teaspoon each of cinnamon, ginger and cardamom. (You can swap these spices with pretty much any you like. Shallots or garlic would make a great addition.) pour the boiling mixture over the cucumbers and let sit until you are happy with the flavor. I left mine for about an hour and a half, and they were pretty spicy. Remove from brine and place in the refrigerator to chill.

Sugar-Snap Pea and Tomato Salad Hazelnuts Sugar-snap peas, washed, with tops and tails removed Cherry tomatoes, washed Crème fraîche (I use Vermont Butter & Cheese Creamery) Tarragon Champagne vinegar Salt pepper preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Spread the hazelnuts on a sheet pan, toss in a little olive oil and salt, and toast in the oven until aromatic and light brown. place them, still hot, in a clean kitchen towel and rub to remove loose skin. (It’s OK if not all the skin comes off.) Slice each pea pod into three pieces on a diagonal and place in a salad bowl. Quarter the cherry tomatoes and add them to the mix. When the nuts are cool, place them in a plastic sandwich bag and run a rolling pin over them. They should be in halves or slightly smaller pieces. Add to the bowl. I used half the container of crème fraîche, about eight large tarragon leaves and a couple drizzles of Champagne vinegar to make the dressing. Salt to taste and add a few grinds of coarse black pepper. Add enough dressing to the bowl to coat the vegetables — you don’t want a puddle at the bottom — and serve.

Bivins says they like the strippeddown fare for simplicity’s sake and wellness reasons. He’s 48. Law, whom Bivins calls “much better looking and much older,” is 51. Bivins’ mother and her Pomeranian, Max, also moved in from his native Louisiana last year.

FOOD 45

If Bivins is concerned about feeding the aging population at home, he’s also set on educating his students, all 450 of whom must take basic nutrition classes to graduate. Bivins hopes in the near future to add classes on cooking for seniors. “The future of food is going to be around folks getting older and living in group settings,” he says. Bivins is always working to keep courses up to date and students on trend. With a degree in communications from Louisiana State University, he has the know-how to teach them to produce their own food media like budding Anthony Bourdains — the focus of a recently added course. In a product-development class, students recently partnered with Vermont Butter & Cheese Creamery to make a smoky, seaweed-flavored spread for celebrity chef Eric Ripert to use at Le Bernardin. Bivins also plans to add molecular gastronomy classes and expanded instruction in charcuterie and meat-cutting skills. While some would say he’s transformed NECI into a less staid institution, the school’s founder, Maître Cuisinier de France Michel LeBorgne, says Bivins is just carrying the torch that LeBorgne lit 30 years ago. “I think he really reached to the community and has done so much for the farmer. He’s the man,” LeBorgne says.

For his part, Bivins sees himself as more a counselor than an administrator. “Chefs are really cooks, priests, psychologists and bail bondsmen,” he says. As a gay man, he notes, he is often approached by gay male students who have received unwanted advances from women, a problem he himself often had in kitchens. “I think students need someone to talk to about getting hit on by women a lot or being harassed by their male peers,” he says. “We work hard to make sure that NECI is a very diversity-friendly place for people of different religions, races and sexualities. We even have students in the midst of gender reassignment.” Bivins is also instrumental in helping adults in the community as secretary of the Gay & Lesbian Fund of Vermont, which he started with Law in 2006. The couple founded the organization as a response to a “Take Back Vermont” sign that’s still visible near their home. “There seemed to 4/2/10 11:09:23 8v-AugustFirst072110.indd AM 1 7/19/10 12:30:23 PM be an overall feeling that the gay com-8v-3Toms040710.indd 1 munity was taking stuff,” Law says. “I felt the need to remind Vermonters of the contributions LGBT people make to our state.” The Gay & Lesbian Fund does just ENTERTAINMENT that by allowing people to contribute THURSDAYS 7-11P to charities under its auspices.

ong before he was the leader of gypsy-punk revolutionaries Gogol Bordello, Eugene Hütz was Eugene Nikolaev, a young, brash Ukrainian immigrant living in Burlington. For a time in the mid- to late 1990s, he was the front man of one of the Queen City’s all-time great bands, the Fags. In the decade or so since he left, Hütz has achieved international fame, primarily with Gogol Bordello — although, for a brief time while living in NYC, he moonlighted as a fashion model. He has flirted with celluloid stardom as well, having 12v-3Penny072110.indd 1 7/19/10 9:48:32 AMappeared in a number of feature films — including Everything Is Illuminated with Elijah Wood and Wristcutters: A Love Story — and occasionally cavorted with, among other celebrities, Madonna.

And, of course, there is Eugene Nikolaev — manic and oddly charming, every bit the show-stopping dynamo Hütz is, albeit with a slightly more pronounced Ukrainian accent. In advance of Gogol Bordello’s upcoming performance at the Champlain Valley Expo Midway Lawn with Primus and Heloise & the Savoir Faire, Seven Days caught up with Hütz by phone from Italy, where he is currently on tour. SEVEN DAYS: You came up in a “golden age” of Burlington music. What do you remember about that time? EUGENE HÜTZ: Exactly that. The excitement of it all. The excitement and all the myths that were heavily on the streets, that Burlington was going to be the next Seattle and everybody is going to get signed and become a legendary ensemble. SD: Yeah, I guess it didn’t quite work out that way. EH: I don’t think it matters if it worked out that way or not, because the excitement was there, for the time being. I mean, it couldn’t have worked out that way for everybody. It was a myth, and I think everybody knew it. But we enjoyed it anyway. SD: There is a clear line between the music the Fags played and what you’re doing with Gogol Bordello. Tell me about that evolution. EH: The Fags were my laboratory. And I

was trying out a lot of things that grew to be very successful with Gogol Bordello. Another factor was that the longer time went on since I left Ukraine, the more passion I was developing for the music of my long-gone home. And it happens to a lot of diasporic artists, actually. You revisit your roots from completely different perspectives, and you make completely different things out of it. SD: I’ve found that GB fans who didn’t know about the Fags are usually really interested to hear that music. Have you ever considered rereleasing No Fleas? EH: I have. And some people have expressed interest for it over the years. And I think it would be just a big fucking fun joy to get together with Jason [Cooley, bass] and Dana [Shepard, drums] and do a show, or a few, when the time comes. SD: What about the “lost” album? The legend goes that Joe Egan has it at his studio and won’t let anyone near it. EH: That is true. And there is actually one more Fags album that was never even mixed. SD: Really? EH: Oh, yes. That was the story with the Fags. We were on creative overdrive at all times, but without any fucking management. There are two albums that nobody’s heard: the one Egan is sitting on, THE ODYSSEY

and the one we recorded with Pistol [Paul Jaffe] from the Pants, after Lunch Money. It was recorded, I think, at the guitarist or bass player from Wide Wail’s house … in some foggy part of Burlington.

SD: Good point. EH: Come on, man. I threw up on every corner in Burlington. SD: Touché. EH: And I would add that Heloise has a fucking fantastic voice. Fantastic.

SD: I imagine it’s a quite a challenge, especially for such an intense live band, to corral that kind of energy into the studio. That’s gotta be tough to do. EH: I wouldn’t say tough, because it was so much fun. And the whole of writing the record was incredibly fun. That was, like, two and a half years ago, right about the time when I moved to Brazil. I was full of all kinds of ideas. Brazil really reshuffled my musical sensibilities.

SD: Why was that? EH: Because, sound-wise, we are a thing completely of our own. There is no other band that sounds like it. We don’t follow any fashion. Gogol Bordello sounds like it sounds.

SD: [Laughing] I should have guessed. EH: [Laughing] You should have guessed. And also, if you look at our history, you will ﬁnd many interactions with Brazilian musicians. It goes back as far as 10 years ago to our art-gallery days, the ﬁrst two or three years of our existence.

SD: And do you feel you were able to do that? EH: I experienced a lot of those points on this album, for sure.

SD: You’ll get no argument here. So, Rick Rubin produced the new album. Tell me a bit about that experience. 4:13:28 PMEH: It’s a fantastic experience, for anybody. Some people are really enchanted with Rick’s work in the hip-hop area; some are enchanted with his work in the rock. I appreciate all of those things. But for me, [the chief reason to] work with him, my main source of knowledge, was his work with ultimate songwriters — with Johnny Cash. With Neil Diamond. That was our main point of connection.

viewing our own work, and knowing all our strengths, I started to feel like there were several things that got lost in translation on the albums. And that was something I wanted to liberate, bring out the Ennio Morricone spirit. I mean, older songs like “Ultimate,” and “Super Taranta!” and “Dub the Frequencies of Love,” they had such epic potential. And they still do. I mean, we open the show with them. But I always wanted to take them to another level that’s gonna give you just an epic rush. I know the feeling I was striving for. The feeling when I’m playing the song and the next part is coming and I feel like dropping everything and running through the time and space. You know? An out-ofbody experience.

SD: Then why bother with someone of Rubin’s caliber? How did he advance your music? EH: The advancement came on a level of crystallizing the craft of songs. That’s what I was mostly excited about. Rick came out and loud and clearly said, “Yo, listen up, everybody. The strength of Gogol Bordello is not that they’re wild guys from Eastern Europe. Or that they are exotic. The strength of Gogol Bordello is not their live show. The strength of Gogol Bordello is the art and craft of songwriting, which is epic. And that’s what we’re going to put forward on this album.” SD: High praise. EH: That was my main interest. Over-

SD: What prompted the move to Brazil? EH: [Pauses] A girl, man! A girl!

SD: I know it’s not your ﬁrst love, but do you find similarities between the satisfactions of acting and writing music? EH: Every form of art has something that the other one doesn’t. And that goes for acting and music as well. I think that recently I’ve actually missed some of acting, after all. I have more interest and enthusiasm for it again. Not that I ever was not into it. It’s just that experience of it … I wouldn’t use the word satisfaction. SD: No? EH: It’s pretty much the opposite. First of all, it is extremely hard work.

SD: And second? EH: You have to wake up at six in the fucking morning. SD: That seems like it might run counter to your lifestyle. EH: That was exactly my going-to-bed time for all these years. But I can let all that go, roll up the sleeves and do it again. And that’s pretty much where it all hangs right now. SD: Reconnecting with your cultural heritage seems so intrinsic to your art, both in music and ﬁlm. What have you discovered about yourself by digging into the past? EH: You know the Greek myth of Odysseus? SD: Of course. EH: I think that The Odyssey is a central myth to everything that people do. It is just a tragic story of human destiny. We go away. We lose ourselves. But it’s really just to discover ourselves, what we really were before we began. The more time goes on, the more I really feel like I did when I was 16. And what’s so amazing is that I run into people on the street in Ukraine or Burlington or in New York, people who went and did all kinds of things in the past decade or two, including completely reversing their lives — moving to Africa, or becoming a chief of an Apache tribe. And the more we talk, the more we’re actually exactly the same. It’s like none of it ever happened. Like I never went on tour, and that friend never went to Africa. The sense of odyssey wears away the smoke and dust that surrounds you, that is acquired in earlier times. And that probably answers your next question, which is, “How did all of that change your life?” And the answer is, I don’t know, man. I don’t know if it really did. It just brings you closer to yourself.  Primus and Gogol Bordello with Heloise & the Savoir Faire at the Champlain Valley Expo Midway Lawn, Thursday, July 29, 6:30 p.m. $35/38. AA.

music Vermont Joy Parade, Kicking Sawdust (SELF-RELEASED, CD, LP)

“To inaccurately paraphrase Gregory Corso, we play music to seduce women and overthrow the capitalist system!” Such is the opening salvo, and de facto mission statement, of freewheeling “mad artists collective” Vermont Joy Parade. Or so emphatically states the introductory track to their debut album, Kicking Sawdust. A cousin of Burlington’s famed Spielpalast Cabaret, VJP present a similarly unwieldy and unhinged theatrical spectacle, albeit on a far less grandiose scale. The curtain rises on a rousing rendition of Sam Theard’s hothouse classic “You Rascal You,” made famous by Django Reinhardt, Cab Calloway and a host of others. Captain Bennypants (aka Benjamin Strosberg), Duke Airplane (Galen Peria) and M. Blitzkrieg (Devin Robinson) take turns rendering the song’s ghoulish lyrics with increasing fervor. Meanwhile, a mad chorus of disembodied voices echoes each titular refrain. The collection balances dusty traditionals, standards and originals penned by various members of the ensemble. Not including Robinson’s intro track, the ﬁrst such number is Anna Pardenik’s “Baby, What You Doin’ to Me.” Pardenik (aka Fanny Ardeno) embodies VJP’s timeless aura, lustily crooning like a latter-day Dinah Washington while Ben Aleshire (Jowls Endwell) ﬂits dizzily on the trumpet. The duo proves a powerful combination later on “Deep Well,” as a scatting Pardenik mimics Aleshire’s baleful, muted moans — or perhaps it’s the other way around? Each of VJP’s songwriters brings something distinct to the ensemble. Strosberg’s “Ferrisburgh” is a loose and clever cautionary tale about, well, moving to Ferrisburgh. Peria takes a cheekily menacing turn on the cacophonous “Song of Myself.” The two combine forces on the boozy, late-night, spoken-word benediction, “Enter Henry James.” But Pardenik’s material shines most brightly and most often, particularly on “Train Song,” which opens Side B (if you’re listening on vinyl). An easy shuffle courtesy of drummer Dan Fancher (Jiggs Endswell) propels Strosberg’s rolling banjo, as Aleshire’s airy bleats and Peria’s curling accordion trail behind in wispy plumes.

All the while, Pardenik’s lilting intonations soothe the listener into a languid calm. Still, Kicking Sawdust is a true ensemble piece. Each component, from guitars and accordions to the phalanx of kazoos and other odd and assorted noisemakers, plays a vital role in this wondrous carnival sideshow. Remarkably, Vermont Joy Parade have managed to distill that curious aesthetic into a genuinely compelling album that is as effective a companion to their wild-eyed performances as it is a cohesive, stand-alone collection. Kicking off a brief regional tour in celebration of their debut album, Vermont Joy Parade march into Parima in Burlington this Tuesday. Visit vermontjoyparade.com for more info and tour dates.

Franco, Anna Patton, Pine Island, Banjo Dan and the Mid-nite Plowboys and, of course, the Will Patton Ensemble. It’s also a great pleasure to hear Fabio Choinière, Michèle’s dad, who adds a bouncy harmonica line on “Par un Samedi Matin” — a song that, according to a very reliable source, was sung at Michèle’s parents’ wedding! But enough with the side musicians, and on to the chanteuse. Michèle Choinière sings with conﬁdence and authority on this recording, whether she is trading spirited call-and-response lines with Aucoin, as on “Legérment, Je Veux M’en Aller,” or warbling and purring through Edith Piaf classics such as “Padam Padam” or “Tu es Partout.” Her lovely voice is right out front where it belongs, and repeated listenings reveal pleasant little vocal surprises throughout the CD. Choinière’s wise choice of accompanists leaves her free to sing jazz, bounce through

DAN BOLLES

Michèle Choinière, La Violette (SELF-RELEASED, CD)

On her fine new collection of soulful vocal music, La Violette, St. Albans native Michèle Choinière demonstrates once again that traditional French music in North America is not the sole property of Louisiana Cajuns and French Canadians. Choinière employed a pair of backing bands for the new album, both of which include some talented local musicians. The first combo features Québecois accordion master Sabin Jacques and ace pianist and vocalist Rachel Aucoin. This marvelous couple also played on Choinière’s 2003 recording Couer Fragile, and are core members of the popular Canadian dance band Raz-de-marée (Tidal Wave). Combo number two is composed of three darlings of Vermont’s “gypsy jazz” revival: seasoned mandolinist, bassist and composer Will Patton, hot guitarist Dono Schabner and David Gusakov, one of Vermont’s great all-around fiddlers and violinists. Members of this dangerous musical trio have performed and recorded individually or together with a veritable who’s who of fine local musicians, including Patti Casey, Lewis

soirée chanson or beloved traditional songs from her family at will. La Violette is valuable both as source material for listeners researching traditional Québecois vocal styles and for fans of French-language singing. It’s ﬁtting that Choinière wraps up the disc with a gorgeous rendition of “Rame, Rame Rame Donc,” a song made famous by her mentor, Martha Pellerin. Pellerin was a champion of French traditional music in Vermont who dedicated her life to teaching generations of young Franco-Americans about their French musical heritage. Choinière is creating her own traditions on La Violette, as well as nurturing the “good old musical ways.” She is truly a Vermont musical treasure. Merci et félicitations, Mademoiselle Choinière!

• If you’re going to Rutland’s Paramount Theatre on Wednesday, July 28, you are probably going to see Brandi carlile. Why not? She’s the headliner and she’s a great performer. But do me a favor, OK? Show up early to catch opening band Good old War. They’re from Philly. But a couple of the members hail from Burlington, including guitarist dan schWartz, formerly of the dakota — and, full disclosure, with whom I once worked at Magic Hat. And they’re friggin’ good.

Listening In

SEVEN DAYS MUSIC 51

I’m often asked what I listen to “personally,” since I spend so much time listening to music “professionally,” or at least from a critical viewpoint. It’s a fair question — and a fun one. I don’t always get to write about the music I listen to recreationally, since I’m (relatively) bound by the restraints set by 7D’s stated bailiwick as “Vermont’s Independent Voice.” (Point of order: That doesn’t mean I don’t listen to local music recreationally, jackals. But man cannot live on lendWay alone.) Recently, a number of readers have suggested I include a small snippet at the end of each column listing some of the bands I dug into during that week, presumably so they could gain insight into the inspiration for my brilliant prose. Or, more likely, just because they’re looking for some new music suggestions. Either way, I thought it was a cool idea. So we’re gonna give it ago for a few weeks and see if it sticks. But first, a few ground rules: 1. These are presented with personal biases fully intact. 2. They are not necessarily new or timely bands or albums, rather just what I happened to listen to, and like, in a given week. 3. I’m not going to include any critical insight or description. If you’re interested in hearing something, you do the legwork — by which I mean, Google them yourdamnself. 4. The lead-in for this will be waaaay shorter next week. And with that, here’s a sampling of what was on my iPod, turntable, CD player, 8-track player, etc. this week. • Jeremy messersmith, The Reluctant Graveyard • Wavves, King of the Beach • mitch hedBerG, Mitch All Together • mayer haWthorne, A Strange Arrangement • the morninG Benders, Grain of Salt EP • the zomBies, The Original Studio Recordings • James carr, You Got My Mind Messed Up m

pop-anthems-with-swooning-three-andfour-part-harmonies good. You’ll thank me, I promise. Word on the street is that there’s considerable buzz building around VT songwriter BoW thayer and his latest collaboration with kristina stykos and Patrick ross, Shooting Arrows at the Moon. Gotta say, it’s about damned time. Once upon a time, I used to watch Thayer tear up a little Irish bar in Somerville called the Burren with his old band the Benders. That was almost 10 years ago … sigh. Anyway, catch Thayer and co. while you can, this Friday at Montpelier’s Black Door Bar and Bistro. Speaking of veteran songwriters long overdue for wider recognition, I would be remiss if I didn’t mention that you only have two chances left to catch Montpelier’s kris Gruen at the Burlington Skinny Pancake’s Sunset Series, Wednesdays in July. No word yet on who the café’s lining up for August, but with Gruen — following Josh Panda in June — the bar is high. OK, can we do something about the growing preponderance of funk bands with the word “funk” actually in the title? It’s getting way out of hand — and this coming from a guy who once played in a band called ska-ka-doodle-doo. This Friday alone, area clubs feature the following bands: Funk Forest (Two Brothers Tavern), soPhistaFunk (Red Square) and eat sleeP Funk (Monopole). Had FunkWaGon or Funk taco happened to book gigs, we could be staring at possibly the funkiest Friday ever. Band Name of the Week: zack orion oF

Like I needed another reason to not go to Florida. Last week, I received an interesting email from local accordionist extraordinaire david symons. For the unfamiliar, Symons was once part of late, great, local Balkan badasses Black sea Quartet. Among other pursuits — such as protesting the Gaza blockade in Palestine in person — he currently helms local klezhobo outfit inner Fire district. [Big Honkin’ Disclaimer: My little brother, tyler Bolles, is IFD’s bassist.] Recently, IFD were featured on a compilation called Klezmer Musicians Against the Wall, a protest of the aforementioned blockade between Israel and Palestine. The comp features 14 klezmer acts from around the world joining together in musical solidarity to address one of the day’s most unfortunate and divisive global political issues. Hunky-dory, right? But as it turns out, not everyone sees the project as so innocuous. Like, for example, people who support Israel. According to Symons’ missive, “Shalom South Florida,” the state’s most widely listened-to Jewish radio show, has refused to play the comp. That’s not particularly shocking or upsetting; generally speaking, Jewish communities tend to side with Israel on this particular issue. But what is surprising, and at least a little unsettling, is that the show has gone a step further and blacklisted all of the artists — some of the finest, more innovative klezmer musicians working today — from ever appearing on the show, which reaches the third-largest Jewish community in the country. That’s kind of a big deal for a klezmer band. So, if I could chat with “Shalom South

Florida” alone for just a sec here. Ahem. Look, I get that you don’t like KMAW’s politics. That’s totally fine. I’ll be honest with you, I’m not educated enough on the Gaza conflict to pick a side either way. It seems to me that when that many people are dying, chances are good there’s probably plenty of fault on both sides. But that’s not really the point. The point is that just because we disagree doesn’t mean we can’t be civil and extend to one another certain common decencies. I mean, look at us. I think you’re making a big mistake banishing talented young artists from your airwaves over their political views. But we’re still having a conversation. I’m willing to listen to your side. By ignoring these people and, worse, their music, you take that option off the table, for yourself and for your listeners. And with that, I will now step off my soapbox.

likely be to grace one of the area’s grandest stages rather than a humble rock club. In the year or so since, the sprawling Cali-based collective has exceeded even our lofty expectations, plying its singularly sunny brand of psychedelic indie rock from coast to coast and gaining renown as one of the most exciting live acts in the country. We hate to say we told you so, but … well, we told you so. Catch the band this Monday at the Higher Ground Ballroom with we are eaCh oTher, feaTuring aaron eMBry. And don’t make us tell you again.

Why stay glued to the Ultimate Fighting Championship on the boob tube when Vermont’s own contenders can be found duking it out at the Burlington Brawl? Memorial Auditorium is home to the mixed-martial-arts bonanza, featuring 14 to 16 fights throughout the night. The brawl, created in 2007 by Vermont Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu & Self-Defense Academy owner Julio Fernandez, was actually the idea of his renowned late instructor, Carlson Gracie Sr. — and it’s picking up steam. “We usually just had fighters from Vermont, but now we’re having interest from other states. It’s getting bigger,” says coorganizer Suzy Fernandez, noting that two Ohioans and one New Yorker will join the scuffle this time around. The “anything goes” bouts display styles and disciplines ranging from boxing to wrestling to Russian sambo to muay Thai. You can work up a sweat ringside.
