My dream vacation would be... skiing powder in the morning and scuba diving in the afternoon and night. If I weren’t a Realtor, I would be a… marketing guru. My favorite lunch place is... my patio.

My most prized possession is... my daughter’s laugh. Before I was a Realtor, one of my interesting jobs was... as a marketing executive for the Pittsburgh Penguins.
The best part about summer is... how much my wife loves it. Something I would like to do, but haven’t had the chance… is visit Alaska.
On a Sunday morning you will most likely find me... reading The New York Times.
If I had $10.99 to spend, I would buy… a sandwich, apple juice and chips.
My weirdest superstition or paranoia is… wasting heat.
The song title that most accurately reflects my life is… “Could You be Loved.”
The first piece of real estate I bought was... in Stowe — my current home. My favorite hobby is… sports.

VISTA REVISITED As a former VISTA member serving back in 1978 in St. Louis, I was taken with the article about Burlington losing 21 VISTA positions [Local Matters, July 2]. It really is a remarkable program that provides great benefits to the community as well as an amazing education to the VISTA members. Over the years I have repeatedly written to the White House whenever cuts are announced and it looks like another letter is due. I don’t know how much good it does, but VISTA taught me to fight for what you believe and the lesson has stayed with me! And thanks to those who are serving the Burlington community — you really do make a difference. Chuck Bongiorno UNDERHILL
FOOD FIGHT “Burlington’s Intervale Up Shit Creek� by Shay Totten leaves me angry and flabbergasted [“Fair Game,� July 9]. With regards to Judy Dow, Roger Albee, Douglas administration regulators and others who are causing problems for the Intervale, the first thought that comes to mind is: “What the f**k are they thinking??�
Where do they think the food on their tables comes from? If it is shipped from across the country or across the world, then the cost of that food is going to skyrocket, along with the cost of oil. Local food is a safety net against all the things that can go wrong with a global, corporateowned food distribution system. When there was that taintedspinach situation last year, where did spinach-lovers turn? To locally produced spinach. When tomatoes recently were implicated in salmonella poisoning, where did people go to buy tomatoes? To the local farmers’ markets. I am not saying that farmers should be exempt from all rules and regulations, but it seems that certain people have it out for the Intervale and will stop at nothing to eliminate this insanely valuable asset to our community. People are playing politics with our food. Go argue about the circ highway or school taxes, but leave my food alone. Cathy Ryan
I cannot believe that a member of Temple Sinai would come and pull freshly planted flowers out of the ground surrounding her tombstone! This mistake is not the fault of the family. It was a mistake made by the City of Burlington. These grieving parents should not have to exhume their daughter’s body, and they should not be harassed
by Temple Sinai for failing to comply with their obscure graveyard rules. Let them plant flowers. Give them some peace. Shame, shame, shame on Temple Sinai for continuing to pursue legal action against these people! Dani Fuoco
NOFA IS KNOWN In response to Raymond E. Leary’s letter, regarding Shay Totten’s comments about Northeast Organic Farming Association: Let me point out that NOFA is by no means a “virtually unknown entity� [Letters, July 9].

COMPILED BY PAULA ROUTLY EXCERPTS FROM OUR BLOGS BLURT
[STAFF BLOG]
Baby Blurt
Not too many reporters volunteer for an assignment that necessitates being on the top of a mountain at sunrise. In southern Vermont. Our summer intern, Mike DiBiasio, proposed the idea himself. After weeks of stuffing envelopes, writing Scene@s and working Seven Days singles parties, the 19-year-old rising junior at Ohio Wesleyan asked if he could spend a day tracking a rare, high-altitude bird. Oh, and would it be OK if he brought a video camera? He’s a natural mobile journalist — “mojo” for short.
Online Editor Extraordinaire, Cathy Resmer, and partner Ann-Elise have been eagerly awaiting the arrival of their second child . . . and so have we! Ivy Adelia Resmer was born at 6:37 a.m. Monday morning, just hours after her official due date. She weighed in at 8.7 lbs and is 20.5 inches long. Both moms and baby are doing great! Read more online . . . Posted July 22 by Bridget Burns
SOLID STATE
The result is DiBiasio’s story and accompanying video about the Bicknell’s Thrush, which only lives at certain elevations in Vermont. The super-sensitive bird is a bellwether of global warming and other forms of environmental degradation. DiBiasio gets right in there with the folks at the Vermont Center for Ecological Studies — catching the Bicknell’s, learning about their predators and blowing on the bird’s bellies to warm them up.

I asked the boys after their set for their reasoning behind the name change. They shrugged and said that it was just time . . . My other sources indicate that a name a little lighter on the irony could present them with more touring opportunities. Especially on the college circuit. I agree. But it might take me a while to get used to it. On Tuesday, every time Herb would get on the mic and say, “Thank you, we’re the Vanderpolls!”, I would think to myself, Well, you and Maarten are . . .

n the late 1970s, William Pithers, a psychologist with the Vermont Department of Corrections, began studying sex-offender treatment programs around the country. At the time, rapists and child molesters typically underwent individual psychoanalytic therapy in state hospitals and prisons and, in some cases, outpatient clinics. But, as numerous studies concluded, there was virtually no difference in recidivism rates between sex offenders who had received treatment and those who had not. By 1983, Pithers and four fellow researchers had adapted a cognitive-behavior model for sex offenders, known as “relapse prevention,” that was successful in treating alcoholics and substance abusers. Cognitive-behavioral therapy is based on the theory that, to a great degree, our thoughts determine our behavior, and that changing the way we think leads to changes in the way we act. For addicts, that might involve a new appreciation for a healthier lifestyle. For sex offenders, relapse prevention attempts to teach the pedophile how to control thoughts that trigger impulses which, in turn, lead to deviant sexual arousal. The work of Pithers and his colleagues represented a major shift in sex-offender treatment at a time when child molesters represented one of the fastest growing segments of the U.S. prison population. According to the Department of Justice’s Center for Sex Offender Management, the number of people incarcerated for sex crimes involving children increased by more than 300 percent between 1980 and 1994. Today, more than 90 percent of the 600-plus adult sex-offender treatment programs in the U.S. use relapse-prevention techniques. And while no one claims child molesters can be cured, a growing body of evidence suggests that treatment reduces the risk that a sex offender will strike again. According to a summary of scientific data by the Association for the Treatment of Sexual Abusers, cognitive-behavioral treatment can reduce recidivism rates among sex offenders by as much as 40 percent. In Vermont, the results are even more dramatic. According to a 2003 study of the Vermont Treatment Program for Sexual Abusers, or VTPSA, the recidivism rates for offenders who completed treatment was just over 5 percent. That’s compared to recidivism rates of more than 30 percent for those who did not complete the program or received no treatment at all. As a result, the VTPSA is widely considered to be among the most comprehensive and effective treatment programs in the nation. Alisa Klein, public policy consultant for the Association for the Treatment of Sexual Abusers, said that Vermont has been “on the forefront” of sex-offender treatment. “There’s been a lot of important work that’s been created in Vermont,” Klein said. But the VTPSA will likely be scrutinized and debated next month, when lawmakers convene a series of hearings on Vermont’s sex-crime laws. The call to re-examine the laws followed the arrest of Michael Jacques, who is accused
of kidnapping Brooke Bennett, his 12-year-old niece. Bennett’s body was found in a shallow grave, near Jacques’ Randolph home, in early July. Jacques, 42, has a history of sex offenses dating back to 1985, when, according to court documents, he was charged with lewd and lascivious conduct with a female relative. That case was eventually dismissed. In 1993, Jacques was sentenced to six-to-20-years in prison for kidnapping and raping an 18-year-old woman — a crime that, according to a state judge, “rivals the most brutal and terrifying scenarios seen . . . on television and in the movies.” Jacques served four years of his sentence, during which time he completed the VTPSA. Jacques underwent several years of additional therapy in a VTPSA outpatient program while on probation. In 2006, Jacques was released from state supervision, largely because he was considered a model of treatment success. The Vermont Department of Corrections employee who supervised Jacques spoke up at a 2004 probationary hearing. Michael Kearney told the judge: “When I make comments about success in sex offender treatment, I have three names, of which Michael Jacques is one.”
cord, have an established network of family and friends, hold a job and who are not so preoccupied by their sex fantasies that they think of them hours a day.” Pithers’ comments underscore two important assumptions that govern sex-offender treatment. The first is that not all sex offenders are alike: Some are compulsive predators with no apparent conscience; others are social misfits whose Internet-driven fantasies lead to deviant behavior. The second assumption: The efficacy of the treatment depends on figuring out which kind of sex-offender you’re dealing with. All cognitive-behavioral models used to treat sex offenders begin with a risk assessment that examines the offender’s background (about a third were molested themselves as children), age and criminal history, propensity for violence and the characteristics of the offense. While the state uses four diagnostic tools to establish the risk of relapse, Robert McGrath, VTPSA’s clinical director, says none of them can predict which particular offender will fail to respond to treatment. “The risk tools can’t predict the behavior of any one person,” McGrath said. “But they can predict, moderately well, the behavior of a
Do we engage in wholesale policy changes based on one bad event by one person? Or do we say, wait a minute, let’s . . . not let Nancy Grace and Bill O’Reilly drive our policy, which I believe is happening. TOM POWELL, FORENSIC PSYCHOLOGIST While it is clear that the VTPSA failed in Jacques’ case, clinicians and supporters of the program worry that public outrage will encourage lawmakers to make policy changes that could have a negative impact on sex-offender treatment in Vermont. Tom Powell, a forensic psychologist who, for 18 years, was the clinical director for the Department of Corrections, said he understands the anguish over Brooke Bennett’s horrifying end. However, he said, radical changes in state sex-crimes law would represent “a crude response” to a complex problem. “A lot of public policy is being contemplated right now based on a single bad event, by a single alleged actor whose conduct was reprehensible and deadly,” Powell said. “But the question that is so important is, do we engage in wholesale policy changes based on one bad event by one person? Or do we say, wait a minute, let’s take a look at the system and not let Nancy Grace and Bill O’Reilly drive our policy, which I believe is happening.” Back in 1992, as evidence emerged suggesting that cognitivebehavioral therapy was effective in reducing relapse in sex-offenders, William Pithers told The New York Times, “The most successful candidates for treatment are men who have no other criminal re-
group of people.” Vermont sex-offenders typically undergo two risk assessments — one upon incarceration to determine the level of treatment; another, four to six months before release, is used to guide treatment at one of 13 community-based programs operated by the Department of Corrections. In prison, treatment begins by getting the offender to acknowledge his crime, typically by confronting him with police reports and victim affidavits. If this doesn’t happen, the offender is booted from the program and will likely serve his entire sentence. In the 2003 VTPSA study, conducted by McGrath and program coordinator Georgia Cumming, of 195 adult sex offenders in the study, 90 — more than a third — did not receive treatment, in most cases because they wouldn’t admit they’d committed a crime. “If a person was found guilty, our assumption is they committed the offense,” McGrath said. “Traditionally we make an effort to help them work through the denial. But ultimately if someone says, ‘I didn’t do it, so I can’t talk about it and I don’t want treatment,’ they aren’t going to end up in the treatment program.” >> 13A

FALL BAGS ARE IN!
SHORT STACK Daughter of Palestinian Jailed Under PATRIOT Act to Speak in Burlington It’s been more than five years since Dr. Sami Al-Arian, a professor at the University of South Florida, was arrested and jailed on terrorism and conspiracy charges cobbled together under the USA PATRIOT Act. Al-Arian, a longtime Palestinian activist, spent more than two and a half years in solitary confinement, until December 2005, when a jury acquitted him of the most serious of the charges. His family claims he signed a plea agreement — admitting to a minor charge — just to put an end to the nightmarish ordeal in hopes of being reunited with his family. But Al-Arian is still languishing in a Virginia prison, the victim of what his daughter, Laila Al-Arian, describes as the Bush administration’s ongoing persecution of Arabs and Muslims living in the United States. This Wednesday, July 23, at 6:30 p.m., Laila AlArian will discuss her father’s case in the Community Room of Burlington’s Fletcher Free Library. Al-Arian is calling on U.S. Sen. Patrick Leahy, who chairs the Senate Judiciary Committee, to investigate her father’s prolonged imprisonment. According to some estimates, the federal government has already spent $50 million in its attempted prosecution of Dr. Al-Arian. The family’s ordeal was chronicled in the 2007 award-winning documentary, USA v. Al-Arian. “From the beginning, it has been clear that this was a political prosecution and the pursuit of contempt by the rogue prosecutor in the Eastern District of Virginia have underscored this,” says Linda Moreno, one of Al-Arian’s attorneys, in a posting on his daughter’s blog. “As I have often said, I support my government going after terrorists and those who wish to do harm against my country. But I have never represented a terrorist, and an American jury found that Dr. Al Arian was no terrorist.” In a statement, Laila Al-Arian said she’s looking forward to coming to Burlington, in part because of the community support for keeping Al Jazeera English on the air. A graduate of the Columbia School of Journalism, she recently began working as a producer for Al Jazeera English in Washington, D.C. KEN PICARD
Outdoors Alliance Wants Piece of Vermont Sales Tax A coalition of groups dedicated to supporting wildlife recreation in Vermont wants the state to set aside a portion of the sales tax to fund the Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department. George Gay, of the 2-year-old Vermont Wildlife Partnership (VWP), said the state’s “wildlife legacy” benefits all Vermonters, but that funding challenges are a growing concern. “Vermonters are consistently in favor of finding new ways to help support a resource that directly affects the quality of life in this state,” Gay said. “Our goal is to make that vision a reality.” The great outdoors is a staple of Vermont’s mystique and integral to its identity. It’s also big business. Wildlife recreation — hunting, fishing and wildlife watching — boosts the state’s economy to the tune of about $400 million a year, according to the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service. Yet, state fish and wildlife agencies have struggled to bag enough cash to protect the resources that attract thousands of hunters, fishers, hikers and anglers annually. In the last two decades, sales of hunting licenses have dropped, from 111,542 to just 83,089 in 2007; in the last eight years, hunting-license revenues dropped from $2.88 million to $2.47 million. The number of fishing licenses sold has also been on the decline, decreasing from 161,014 in 1987 to 126,512 last year, although, thanks to fee increases, revenues from fishing licenses have remained at about $3.2 million annually. The VWP came out of a panel appointed by Gov. Jim Douglas that was charged with finding options to stabilize funding for the Department of Fish & Wildlife. The sales tax was one option, but Douglas ultimately rejected the idea. To make its case for a redistribution of state sales tax, the VWP has hired a public-relations firm, Pale Morning Media, which specializes in the outdoors. The initiative is being funded by the Northern Forest Alliance, which received a $75,000 grant this year from the Wildlife Conservation Society to advocate for the redistribution. SHAY TOTTEN

Unlike psychoanalysis, which can take years to change behavior, the cognitive-behavioral model assumes there is a point when formal therapy will end. The highest risk offenders in VTPSA spend two to three years in therapy; low and moderate risk offenders receive anywhere from six to 14 months of treatment, according to McGrath. Treatment usually begins several months before the offender is scheduled for release. Over time, the sex-offender therapy has become less confrontational than earlier approaches, and relies on specific “homework� assignments geared toward helping the offender understand the harm his behavior has caused, as well as the
friends and employer. About 70 percent of sex-offender programs, including the VTPSA, also use polygraph examinations to gauge the progress of treatment. Questions include whether the offender is viewing pornography, using drugs or alcohol, or making contact with children without the knowledge of his family and probation officer. “We look at observable behaviors that were linked to the offense,� McGrath said, “as well as what the guy is saying, what the probation and treatment people are saying, what family members and employers are saying, and ask, ‘Is all that supported by what the polygraph says?’� Presumably, in Michael Jacques’ case, everything added up. Indeed,

They work up a self-management plan to deal with anger, and they often receive social-skills training, from how to initiate and maintain a simple conversation to learning how to express emotions in intimate relationships. Upon release, treatment picks up in a community-based clinic under the supervision of a specially trained parole officer. McGrath said community-based treatment could involve group therapy one or more times a week for several years. Before release, family and friends of the offender are brought into the prison, where they are informed of the offender’s patterns of deviant behavior and how to recognize them. That support network is also key to deciding when to end treatment altogether. It’s a decision based in part on interviews with the offender, family,
when Jacques went before the court, seeking to be released from probation, he was accompanied by his wife. As the judge noted, he owned a home and had a good job. According to the testimony of probation officer Richard Kearney, Jacques not only met all the requirements of his community treatment; he exceeded them. “If what we’re looking to do is make significant life changes so that this doesn’t happen again,� Kearney said, “Mr. Jacques has made those significant life changes.� As it turns out, of course, Jacques had not been a model offender in the VTPSA. Before he was charged with kidnapping Brooke Bennett, police announced that while on probation Jacques had allegedly molested a young girl for five years, beginning when she was nine. It doesn’t take a case like Jacques’ to raise the question of whether or not sex offender treatment works. Even clinicians like
in the right direction with specialized treatment of sex offenders.� For that reason, Tom Powell, who retired as clinical director for the Department of Corrections, says lawmakers should carefully consider any policy changes that could impact the VTPSA. “The implication is that the current laws and programs are totally inadequate and we need to start from scratch,� he said. “That completely ignores the entire history of the program and its remarkable success at treating people.� McGrath is a little more reluctant to describe the success of the VTPSA as a “remarkable success.� However, he too, urges caution. “Virtually everyone who is incarcerated for sex offenses in Vermont and the U.S. will eventually get out of prison,� McGrath said. “The question is, what do we do to reduce the risk of re-offending? Treatment is not a panacea, but it can have an impact on reducing risk and making our communities safer.� >

OPEN SEASON ON VT POLITICS
Me, Myself and “I� gov in 2002. Progressives use Pollina’s 25 percent showing in 2002 as proof they can perform on the statewide stage. Abbott said Progressives can put someone on the November ballot after the September primary for any of the statewide offices — they have no candidates now. According to state law, major parties can pick a person to run in a statewide or local race if the party has failed to nominate a candidate via the primary process. Think anyone will launch a write-in campaign? If said handpicked Progressive runs but fails to nab 5 percent or more of the vote, the Progs will be the ones protesting not being invited to debates, right? Liberty Union candidate Peter Diamondstone did just that Sunday night in Waitsfield. His is a major party and was not invited to take part by debate organizers. On July 31 we’ll find out if Pollina’s broad coalition is translating into campaign cash. That’s the first campaign finance filing deadline for candidates who have raised or spent more than $500 in cash. Speaking of cash, Douglas hit the airwaves this week with his first radio ad. I almost missed it, not expecting to hear the incumbent advertising so early. Douglas campaign manager Dennise Casey confirmed the ads were running, but wouldn’t say how much they’ve spent
The average Joe or Jane may find it difficult to square Pollina’s claim that he’s now independent because his campaign success outgrew the Progressive label.

In eschewing the Democrats and Progressives, Pollina now joins the “party� of U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders. Perhaps they can name it the “Me, Myself and I� party. Pollina claims he’s not turning his back on the Progressive Party, per se, or the people he’s worked with for decades to build the “most successful third party in the country.� To prove his point, Pollina said he will reject the party’s nomination if primary voters bestow it upon him. Hey, it’s for their own good. Tough love for tough times. Given he was the Progs’ only statewide candidate, Pollina’s move could endanger them from keeping majorparty status. That’s because a candidate for a state office must get 5 percent of the vote to maintain that status. Morgan Daybell, the party’s executive director, and Martha Abbott, party chairwoman, who attended Monday’s event, are OK with Pollina’s decision. They want to focus on electing legislators, not statewide candidates. Funny, the past eight years included Progressives running for governor, lieutenant governor and auditor. Pollina ran in two of those races — governor in 2000 and lite-

n an 11th-hour conversion, gubernatorial hopeful Anthony Pollina decided that after years of running as a standardbearing Progressive, what he really wants to be when he grows up is . . . an Independent. On Monday, the deadline for majorparty candidates to file their petitions, Pollina gathered a dozen supporters to announce that his coalition was gaining so much steam, he had to become an Independent. Only then could he build the support needed to oust incumbent Republican Gov. Jim Douglas and brush aside Democrat Gaye Symington. Color me underwhelmed. The average Joe or Jane may find it difficult to square Pollina’s claim that he’s now independent because his campaign success outgrew the Progressive label. Here’s what Pollina told Vermont Public Radio’s Bob Kinzel in January: “I’m a Progressive, and I don’t think it would fool anybody if I said I wasn’t a Progressive anymore. And I don’t want to do that because I want to stick with my principles, and I’m proud of what I am and what I’ve done.� What’s a principle or two between friends, right? Pollina’s peeps claim they hear from folks “all the time� that they would be more likely to vote for him if he was an Independent.

or where the ads will run. She said we’d have to wait until July 31 for those details. Could the gov be worried? Who’s In, Who’s Out — It turns out there are folks willing to publicly declare themselves as Progressives. The Progressives will run Thomas Hermann, an Iraq war vet, against U.S. Rep. Peter Welch (D), as well as 12 candidates — six incumbents and six newcomers — for Vermont House seats. Two Progressives are running for state senate — Burlington City Councilor Tim Ashe in Chittenden County (though he’s running in the Democratic primary) and John Bloch in Washington County. Democrats expect to have 125 candidates filing in 117 House districts, along with 32 running for state senate. They have eight House members retiring: Reps.

This so-called “vertical audit� looks at the plant as a whole to determine if things are “safe� and “reliable,� rather than just isolating certain key components, as is the case with this week’s NRC review. Lawmakers asked for the more rigorous review because next year they will vote on whether Vermont Yankee should be allowed to operate for another 20 years. Two top Democratic lawmakers claim the three-member panel was told by DPS officials that the NRC objected to the oversight panel’s participation in the inspection. That doesn’t square with what the NRC told the governor earlier this year. In March, Gov.

It’s no secret that Douglas loathes two of the appointees to the legislative oversight panel, claiming they are biased against nuclear power. (Caledonia). In his stead, they are running former House member and State Housing Commissioner, John Hall. Republican Eugene Bifano of Warren will challenge Deb Markowitz for secretary of state, and Karen Kerin is running against Bill Sorrell for attorney general. The Rs will skip races for U.S. House, treasurer and auditor. Tough year to be a Republican, eh? Bias Is in the Eye of the Beholder — It was a tough week for Vermont’s nuclear power plant and whichever owner it claims is responsible — Entergy? Entergy Nuclear Vermont Yankee (ENVY)? Entergy Nuclear Operations (ENO)? Think how tough it must be for Entergy staffers trying to remember which business cards to hand out. A faulty bracket on a cooling tower support beam sent water spewing to the ground, forcing VY to drop power by 75 percent. Then the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) told ENO they couldn’t use money from the decommissioning fund to pay for onsite storage of nuclear waste. Two strikes. Enter Gov. Douglas and the Department of Public Service (DPS) to avert a strikeout. They are refusing to let members of a special legislative oversight panel take part in an upcoming NRC review of Vermont Yankee. That access was supposed to
also request that the assessment include the participation of the Vermont State Nuclear Engineer and consultants, and [that] those NRC inspectors and contractors have independence from the Vermont Yankee operation,� Douglas added. In April, the NRC responded in a letter: “The [reactor oversight process] is also flexible with respect to the timing and scope of some inspections,� wrote NRC Chairman Dale Klein. “The Vermont State Nuclear Engineer and a mutually acceptable consultant are welcome to observe any NRC inspection at Vermont Yankee in accordance with the existing Memorandum of Understanding between the NRC and the State of Vermont.� When “Fair Game� asked about the contradiction over the weekend, we got this response from NRC spokeswoman Diane Screnci (and a copy of the letter): “Typically, members of the public (or the media) are not able to accompany NRC inspectors on inspection. In this case, as the letter explains, the DPS could have designated an additional observer,� she said. So much for the Douglas administration’s “blame it on the NRC� excuse. On Monday, President Pro Tem Peter Shumlin and Speaker Symington, who also received the NRC’s April letter, implored Douglas to let the panel have access to this week’s NRC inspection. Don’t hold your breath. It’s no secret that Douglas
Wark, criticize Gundersen and Bradford for opposing nuclear power, Hochreiter’s 26 years of working for the industry make him an unbiased observer? Go figure. Is Gundersen biased — or clairvoyant? He predicted that after VY boosted its power output that the cooling towers would weaken, and that additional cracks would be found in the reactor’s steam dryer. Both came true. He even predicted there might be a shortfall in the decommissioning fund. Damn, three for three. Behind the scenes, DPS folks apparently hold Gundersen’s talents in high regard. Case in point: Wark inadvertently sent “Fair Gameâ€? an email Monday in response to a weekend query we made to DPS staffers about keeping the panel out of the NRC inspection. In this misfired email, Wark asked DPS Deputy Commissioner Richard Smith to provide him with a copy of a letter Gundersen had sent to Smith so Wark could use it for his “talking points.â€? Whoa. So, the guy who trashed an appointee in public for being biased and an inappropriate choice for the job wants to use the words of said appointee as talking points for the media? And, beyond that, using information from a letter that was sent with the expectation it would be private? That would be funny if our tax dollars weren’t paying for these shenanigans. ďż˝ To reach Shay Totten, email shay@sevendaysvt.com.

f you’ve renovated your home recently, chances are you’ve got a pile of leftover odds and ends: pieces of tile, strips of molding, window frames. All that stuff could come together to make something useful, such as a birdhouse, a table or a picture frame, but who has time these days for such whimsical little jobs? The answer: Anna Urban, shop supervisor at the new Waste Not Products woodshop, located in the Building Materials Center at Burlington’s ReCycle North. The concept is to fashion saleable items out of building materials donated to ReCycle North by walk-in customers and managers of deconstruction jobs. Urban, who was on vacation at press time, grew up in Monkton and graduated in 2007 from Wesleyan University with concentrations in art and architecture. “So she has a little bit of building experience,� says Tom Grocki, director of the Building Materials Center. Urban started working at ReCycle North in November on a oneyear AmeriCorps placement, which gives the worker a stipend and, at the end of the year, money to attend college or pay qualified stu-

Cabot Bolsters a Thriving Music Program . . . with a New Building BY ALISON NOVAK
I
t takes a village to build a theater. That’s the lesson folks at Cabot School have learned in the three years since they hatched the idea to build a performing arts center on campus. Construction of the 2800-square-foot black-box theater will start next month. The need for a bigger classroom for the rapidly expanding music program at the small public school was the driving force behind the center, says Brian Boyes, 34, the school’s music teacher. “Students were sharing seats,� he explains. But after voters rejected a bond proposal to fund the building, school officials realized they needed to cut costs in order to make the project a reality. They tapped into the greatest asset the town of about 1200 has: its people. A local architect agreed to draw up the plans for next to nothing. The building design was kept basic — with a large classroom/performance space and two adjoining rooms that can be used as both backstage space and practice areas — so that students and residents could help with the labor. School officials estimated they could raise $75,000 for the project through grassroots fundraising efforts. And in March, town voters approved a plan to fund the remaining $75,000 through a oneyear increase in property taxes.
Cabot School has found creative ways to raise its share of the cash, from raffle dinners prepared by local chefs to email campaigns. “Heavy hitters� such as local businesses Cabot Creamery and Zutano have also kicked in with support. To date, the school has amassed about $45,000. A gala at Vermont Technical Center in Randolph on July 26 that includes a silent and live auction and a performance by a 17-piece big band will, Boyes hopes, raise another 10 to 20 grand.

The music program at Cabot is no stranger to innovation. Boyes, a professional trumpeter who has worked in several bands, came to the school 10 years ago and has created a world-music program in which students can learn African drumming, as well as unique high school electives such as film scoring. He also directs The Limes, a high school/college-level all-star soul-funk ensemble. “I approach the program as if it’s an artistic project,� says Boyes. What he’s doing seems to

When the performing arts center is complete — in time for the school’s spring concert, it’s hoped — Boyes envisions it as not just a “laboratory where students can experiment with music� but also a great asset to a community in which “the school is the heartbeat of the town.� >

FASHION
UVM Grad Steps Out in the Fashion Biz BY PAMELA POLSTON
eads up, parents of art majors: If you’re skeptical about whether your offspring’s chosen field of study will lead to a paying job — and their own pad — check out the August issue of domino. The hip magazine dedicated to “living with style� touts a three-page spread on Rachel Comey, a 1994 graduate of the University of Vermont, and her ultra-cool converted-laundromat home near a beach on Long Island’s North Fork. Once an art major with a focus on sculpture, Comey is remembered in Burlington’s art scene for designing fake-fur furniture, starting the nascent Exquisite Corpse gallery at Jager Di Paola Kemp Design, and launching a line of funky women’s underpants before she headed down to New York City. Turns out the undies — along with wit, a willingness to work hard and a bit of good fortune — ushered Comey into the world of fashion design. A world in which magazine features about you become possible. At 35, she’s made a name for herself — literally — in this highly competitive marketplace: Rachel Comey is the name of her collections of clothing and shoes, samples of which can be seen at rachelcomey.com, at style. com, in spring and fall runway shows, and in more than 100 stores internationally. Domino refers to her “trademark brand of utilitarian chic with an artful bent,� and applauds the Comey hallmark of “unorthodox pattern mash-ups.� Says the designer by phone from the “cave� she rents in NYC, “I spend a lot of time in research; fabrics and craftsmanship are really important to me — the materials research is a reference to my sculpture background. I strive for it to be kind of elegant, not too decorative,� Comey adds, “but there’s a sense of humor, a playfulness.� In fact, Comey’s design sense is remarkably practical; her comfortable-looking dresses, skirts, blouses and tunics come off as both modern and timeless — clothing that normal women might actually wear, rather than impossible, expendable haute couture. It’s a long way from simple cotton underpants, though learning to make those, she says, taught her some

design basics. And Comey is quick to give credit where it’s due: “Pascal’s mom helped me develop patterns,� she notes, referring to the mother of best bud Pascal Spengemann. In the mid- to late ’90s, Spengemann was Comey’s fellow curator — at Burlington’s Firehouse Gallery. These days he’s co-owner of Taxter & Spengemann, a Chelsea gallery that’s about to relocate to Union Square (further
encouraging evidence for parents of arty types . . .). The two are still great friends. Another former-Burlington friend has done well in the Big City, too. Comey initially moved to New York with Eugene Nikolaev, now Eugene Hutz, leader of the Ukrainian-flavored gypsy-punk band Gogol Bordello. Though the couple’s romantic relationship ended, Comey says she did “art direction and clothes for Eugene� for a couple of years and still occasionally works with the band. “But he’s kind of got his own thing going now,� she remarks. Indeed. And so does Rachel Comey. >

Seventeen syllables. When writing a haiku, that’s all you get. Haiku is a traditional form of Japanese poetry composed of three lines — the first and third with five syllables and the second with seven. At the end of July, haiku enthusiasts and poets will descend upon SUNY Plattsburgh for the International Haiku Conference and Festival. This marks the first year the event has taken place in North America, after touching down in various world locales. The central theme of the fest is ba, the Japanese word for place. “Placesâ€? might be more fitting, seeing as the festival activities aren’t exclusive to Plattsburgh — attendees will make touristy treks to both MontrĂŠal and Burlington, including cocktails on the latter’s waterfront. The featured speaker of the five-day jamboree will be Arthur Sze, poet laureate of Santa Fe, New Mexico, who is slated to give two talks, one about his own work and one about naturebased Chinese poetry. Also present will be several photographers who have created work in the obscure haiga form, a combination of haiku and visual art. It’s probably best to sum up the upcoming proceedings in an appropriate form:

Maine State Police concluded that Chad Murrat, 18, accidentally wounded a woman sitting inside her mobile home in Lubec while target practicing near the woman’s trailer. Murrat fired two shots at a frog in a nearby pond, one of which ricocheted, went through the trailer wall and struck the woman in the right side. • A 43-year-old woman drew a .44caliber Magnum revolver from a holster under her left arm, intending to shoot mice scurrying across the floor of a small travel trailer in Potter Valley, Calif., but the weapon slipped from her hand and fired as it hit the floor. According to the Mendocino County Sheriff’s Office, the bullet went through the woman’s right kneecap, hit keys hanging on the belt loop of a 42-year-old man in the trailer, glanced off the keys and tore a hole in the man’s pants. It grazed the man’s groin before stopping in his coin pocket. • Police in Salina, Kan., reported that when Michael Urich stopped by to tell his neighbor, Shannon D. Austin, 36, he had been in a fight at a local bar, Austin showed his support by firing a .22-caliber revolver he thought was empty several times in the air. Urich told Austin to stop, but Austin then turned the gun toward his head and fired, hitting his skull above an eye. Austin was treated at a local hospital, then ticketed for discharging a firearm within city limits.

“But I’m not caught up on my New Yorkers.�
the straight dope
BY CECIL ADAMS
ALL WORTHWHILE HUMAN KNOWLEDGE
As far as I’ve seen, the most unambiguous claim that male elephants do with some regularity rape rhinoceroses appears in an October 2006 New York Times Magazine article titled “An Elephant Crackup?� In opening his argument that a species-wide breakdown in social cohesion has led to an upsurge in violence by elephants, author Charles Siebert offers evidence that aggression by elephants has been marked by what he calls a “singular perversity�: “Since the early 1990s, for example, young male elephants in Pilanesberg National Park and the Hluhluwe-Umfolozi Game Reserve in South Africa have been raping and killing rhinoceroses; this abnormal behavior, according to a 2001 study in the journal Pachyderm, has been reported in ‘a number of reserves’ in the region.� That’s an assertion guaranteed to catch the eye of even the most inattentive reader, and it’s since appeared in other discussions of animal behavior, often phrased in ways suggesting the NYT article was the source. But is it true? Sitting down with the Pachyderm study Siebert cites — Slotow et al., “Killing of Black and White Rhinoceroses by African Elephants in Hluhluwe-Umfolozi Park, South Africa� — we learn that between 1991 and 2001 the park’s elephants dispatched 63 rhinos, mainly by goring. The authors suggest that the animals responsible were young males who had grown up in social groups from which older males had been “culled� (read: slaughtered by government-commissioned hunters as a populationcontrol measure), and as a result entered a state of heightened, testosterone-fueled aggression, called musth, much earlier in life than they ordinarily would have. Since similar incidents at Pilanesberg stopped after large adult males were reintroduced into the population, thus reestablishing the natural male hierarchy, the authors advocate trying the same thing at Hluhluwe-Umfolozi. Wait a minute, you say — what about the raping part? That’s what I said, too. I went back through the article a second time, then a third. The reference to abnormal behavior seen in “a number of reserves� has only to do with elephants killing rhinos; nowhere is any mention made of rape. Seeing a clear need for some inside info, I had my assistant Una get in touch with one of the article’s authors, Rob Slotow, director of the Amarula Elephant Research Program at the University of KwaZulu-Natal. Professor Slotow’s reply was straightforward: The young elephants seemingly got into ritualized combat situations with the rhinos, as males are wont to do, but having no experience being in the musth state, didn’t know they were supposed to back off when the rhinos
ILLUSTRATION: SLUG SIGNORINO
Dear Cecil, I’ve read that elephants are now exhibiting aggression previously unseen — including raping rhinos on the African savannah. Have we truly screwed up the elephants that much, or is this merely one of those myths that is now perpetuated in the media? K. Honey, Georgetown, Ontario

backed down, with the result that the rhinos wound up dead. “There was,� Slotow concluded, “nothing sexual about these attacks.� (He went on to report that, sure enough, the attacks on rhinos subsided almost entirely once older males were brought back on board.) It looks, then, as though there’s something wrong with that NYT quote above. Best case, I suppose, is that the article got the underlying facts right — i.e., elephants really were raping as well as killing rhinos at the parks in question — but named the wrong study as their source. This seems unlikely, though: (a) you’d figure that if anything like that was going on, Slotow and colleagues would have been aware of it, and (b) where’s the research Siebert meant to cite instead? I’d be interested to hear the Times magazine’s take on this, but our friendly attempts to quiz the periodical on the subject have met with no response to date. For now I won’t say that elephant-rhino rape never occurs — there’s little doubt that decades of poaching, culling and habitat loss have played havoc with elephants’ complex social and emotional lives, and a traumatized elephant is clearly capable of some scary behavior. But before I sign on, I’d like to see some reporters get their notes organized a little better. A QUESTION WE’RE STILL THINKING ABOUT In my personal and family development class (home ec) my teacher said that salt and pepper are married, so that’s why they always have to stay by each other. If they are, then one has to be the husband and the other the wife. All of the people I’ve asked have agreed that the pepper would be the husband and the salt the wife. Well, what if the fork, knife and spoon were a family? Which would be the dad, the mom and the kid, and would the kid be a boy or a girl? Also, what if thunder, lightning and rain were a family?

the instep, where there’s been an opening made. The difference with my sandals is that the strapping keeps the sandal and the foot so well matched, that it’s like wearing a shadow. And you don’t feel it, because you’ve succeeded in holding the sandal on the foot in places that don’t confine the movement.
Hell Bent for Leather
B NAME JOB LOCATION
IMAGES Justin Cash
y the time Kim Rilleau was 12 years old, he had already worked with leather for eight years. As a tyke, he sewed and polished cowhide at his parents’ shop, Rilleau Leather, in Provincetown, Massachusetts. At 14, he got his own bench and knife. Two years later, he could make custom leather sandals from start to finish. Now he’s 58 and just beginning to go public with his Kim Rilleau talent in Vermont, showing up at Sandal maker and leather artisan the farmers’ markets in Woodstock Woodstock and Norwich with a display of leather goods that might have been swiped from the American Museum of Natural History. When describing what he does, Rilleau often begins at the beginning: with his father, Roger Rilleau, an immigrant from the Brittany province of France. Roger was an artist, but instead of waiting tables to make ends meet, he put his energy into conjuring what Kim calls “the finest sandal ever made.” Kim’s mother, also an artist, refined, finished and presented the sandals, belts and handbags at the shop they ran together starting in the early 1940s. “There was nothing like their designs,” Kim says, “and in a lot of ways there still isn’t. When you look at some of the things that they’ve done, it has a wonderful timelessness about it.” Kim Rilleau moved to Woodstock in 1997 and keeps his shop on the second floor of a barn next to his house. A giant set of bull horns hangs on the wall at one end of the loft space as if blessing the operation below, which includes ancient Singer sewing machines, a corner desk littered with antique tacks, and a work bench with a proper collection of leather-working hand tools. On a big table in the center of the room are the dusty record books that look like they were dug out of a town hall vault. Inside them are the foot measurements of every Rilleau Leather customer since 1947. Rilleau doesn’t see patrons from that far back, but it’s not uncommon for a 30year-old pair of sandals to show up at his doorstep for refurbishment. At a price of $275 to $375, the sandals aren’t cheap, but what do you expect to pay for custom footwear that lasts longer than most marriages? Seven Days dropped in on Rilleau at his workshop to learn the secrets of the sandal. SEVEN DAYS: How did you learn the leather trade? KIM RILLEAU: Primarily from my dad. Being the first-born son of a sort of a European-tradition family meant that you became an apprentice, and there was a fatherly pride in him being able to show me how to work something and then get some satisfaction out of what I was doing. I remember him showing me how to sweep the floor right. We had a great old oiled wooden floor, and there was a way that you did it — you used the right bristled broom, you dampened the floor so it kept the dust down. It wasn’t like, “Sweep the floor.” It was like, “This is the way you do this properly.”
SD: What did you and your parents sell at the leather shop in Provincetown? KR: We were really sought out for the custom sandals. My father had the first sandal shop in America. The other thing that’s really unique is the sculptured belts. Back in the 1940s, you couldn’t buy buckles; the metal was rationed. So, my father being the innovative, free-thinking guy he was, if you told him you couldn’t make a belt because you didn’t have a buckle, he said, “Wait a minute.” So he decided to make a knotted belt. They’re all cut free-hand; there’s no pattern. They just lace through and you take up the slack. There’s two basic designs: the figure eight and the other one’s just a simple loop. My parents couldn’t keep enough of those in the shop. SD: Was there a “heyday” of sandal making? KR: By the 1960s, sandal making was enormously popular. From 1964 to 1967, just in those three years, it went from being relatively unknown to not only being very, very popular, but lots of people started sandal shops. And at all the Meccas — Berkeley, the Village, Cambridge — sandals were part of the emblem. Even more than bellbottoms and sideburns, you needed a pair of leather sandals. Provincetown also was one of the great Meccas of the hip movement. In 1962, there were three sandal makers in Provincetown. In 1968, when we moved the shop out of the center of town down to a studio on the outskirts, there were 27. SD: What’s your definition of a sandal? KR: I think sandals are generally synonymous with what we would think of as open footwear. But a lot of what we call sandals — Birkenstocks included — are not what I would call a sandal. I look at a Birkenstock and what I see is a ventilated shoe. In other words, it’s just as enclosing, practically, as a shoe is, but there are some areas, like around the toes and
SD: What’s the design theory behind the “ultimate” sandal? KR: The healthiest thing you can do for your body and feet is to go barefoot and don’t wear shoes, under the right conditions, namely in a cooperative climate . . . on a shock-absorbing surface like sod. But we’re modernized, and we have artificial surfaces that are unforgiving . . . so we need to make a platform on which to walk that will accentuate a healthy stride and give that cushion to it. The second question is, how do you create these wonderfully conflicting things: something that will be as close to barefoot as possible, and something where the physics of the design does all the work? In other words, so you don’t have to hold the sandal on or worry about it becoming loose or sloppy. So, you need to get the maximum amount of security from the footwear and also the maximum amount of freedom, and those two things conflict. SD: How does the process work when an average client comes to you and says, “Make me a pair of sandals”? KR: There’s three basic questions that you want to answer about what they want. One is the design of the sandal, and by design what I’m talking about is the strapping style. How are the straps that hold the sandal and the foot together comprised; where are they placed? The second thing is the sole construction. Classically, the soles are wet-formed to the classification of the arch, laminated and glued, and then nailed. An option is, do we add a third sole, which usually will be a high-quality rubber like Vibram? And the third would be color — mahogany, tan, medium brown, dark brown. Then they initiate the process of taking the order, which is to do a tracing. So they sit, and I get a couple of pieces of leather, put it on the ground, and then the measurements are taken. And from this two-dimensional rendering it becomes three dimensional, and then we’re home. SD: What kind of leather do you use? KR: It’s cowhide almost exclusively, tanned in different ways. So the top sole is made from a nicely oiled industrial belting leather. The bottom sole is a very high-quality sole that the best shoemakers use. And then the strapping, depending on what we want it to do. So part of my job, which is really important, is to select the right material. I can’t tell you how much time I take choosing which piece of leather to use on which sandal — what I call “laying out.” How much flex do we want? How much firmness do we want, and how to get that right, so that the sole will give you as much support as you need, as well as the flexibility you need. You’re choosing the ingredients and extrapolating how they’re going to respond in two years, in four years. m

A CABBIE’S REAR VIEW
Guns and Ice Cream
“W
hat does it matter ‘how many folks’?� the beefy man asked me, while his three companions — another middle-aged man and two women — stood on the curb making idle conversation and seemingly trying to ignore their taxi hailer’s heavy-handed tactics. “Isn’t the fare the same regardless of the number of people?� I don’t begrudge a customer’s inquiring about the fare prior to lift-off. Anyone who has been keeping up with the local newspapers is aware of the practice of price gouging among too many rogue cabbies. But this guy’s grilling was over the top; I was feeling like a shrimp on the barbie. “Well, here’s how it works,� I replied patiently, doing my best to overlook the accusatory subtext. “In Burlington, the cabs get an extra buck for each additional passenger, so that’s why I asked about the size of your group. So, if it’s the four of ya, the fare’ll be $13.� “That sounds a little fishy, if you ask me, but we have to get back to our hotel,� the man responded. He turned toward his people and gave a beckoning wave. “C’mon — we’ll take this guy,� he called over the downtown street din.
This guy’s grilling was over the top; I was feeling like a shrimp on the barbie. As we ascended Main Street, my erstwhile interrogator sat beside me scowling, an attitude that contrasted with his cheerful pastel attire. The similarly dressed threesome in the rear was in a more convivial mood, talking and laughing among themselves. From their conversation, I gleaned that the two couples were friends from North Carolina and visiting Burlington for a convention of model-train enthusiasts that week at the Sheraton. One of the women leaned forward in her seat and asked me, “What would you recommend for a day trip tomorrow? We were thinking about Plymouth or Montpelier.� Plymouth? I thought. What the heck’s in Plymouth? Then I remembered: It was the birthplace of President Calvin Coolidge. Someone who visited the site, I further recalled, told me it was about as fun and exciting as Calvin Coolidge himself. And Montpelier — personally, I love the town, but for these folks . . . “If you have just a day to tour around,� I offered, “I’d definitely go over Smugglers’ Notch. That’s up Route 15 and onto 108. The ride over the mountain pass is breathtaking, and Stowe is gorgeous in the summer. You could visit the Trapp Family Lodge and maybe stop at the Ben & Jerry’s factory in Waterbury. That place is a hoot.� “Who currently owns Ben & Jerry’s?�

my rosy seatmate jumped into the conversation. “I guess a few years ago the boys sold the company to Unilever,â€? I replied. “But it seems to me it’s still run by most of the same people with the same way of doing business. You know — socially responsible, that sort of thing.â€? “Well, I never eat Ben & Jerry’s ice cream,â€? he said. “I refuse! Those guys propagate a left-wing radical philosophy. They’re trying to take away my Second Amendment gun rights.â€? I could see the folks in the back squirm in their seats. The guy in the front was into his “thing,â€? I gathered, and his wife and friends just had to grin and bear it. Whatever my beliefs about guns, politics or Chubby Hubby, for that matter, I was under no compulsion to acquiesce. But I knew better than to provoke. The telltale sign was the manner in which this man enunciated his viewpoint: as a pronouncement, as if counter-opinion were out of the question. Still, without poking the bear, I wanted to at least offer a suggestion for the remainder of his stay in Vermont. “You know,â€? I said, “a lot of folks here in Vermont agree with Ben & Jerry’s social mission. Not all, granted, but a lot. So you might want to take that into account.â€? “What about guns?â€? he said. “Don’t you folks care about your gun rights?â€? “It’s just not that big an issue up here. People hunt and all that, so I guess gun ownership is simply part of life. Nobody’s fighting much about it.â€? “Hmm,â€? he voiced, and appeared to lighten up a little. “So you’re a train collector?â€? I asked, taking advantage of the dĂŠtente to shift the conversation to less contentious ground. “I sure am,â€? he said. “I’ve been collecting Lionel trains since I was a kid. Mostly HO gauge.â€? “Wow, that is cool. I had a great set of Lionel trains my dad got me when I was a kid. I think they were standard gauge, or scale, or is that the same thing?â€? “Not exactly, technically speaking,â€? he said with a chuckle, “but close enough.â€? “Anyway,â€? I went on, “I remember the transformer could power four tracks at once, and we had all the little houses and landscaping accessories. We sold ’em when my father lost his job and we moved.â€? “Boy, that collection you describe would be worth a lot of money these days,â€? he said. “Yeah, I bet it would.â€? I pulled the taxi up to their adjoining rooms at the Ho-Hum Motel, and the man paid the $13. Despite the earlier unpleasantness over the price, he actually smiled while passing me a nice tip. I didn’t know if he was packing or not, but no guns were drawn. For that reason alone, I chalked this one up as a successful fare. > “Hackieâ€? is a biweekly column that can also be read on www.sevendaysvt.com.

But that is not what’s happening. The Douglas administration seems bent on trying to destroy the Intervale, our best example of gritty self-reliance. In fact, it seems to have expanded its anti-compost campaign — a global war on soil fertility? — to Montpelier’s Vermont Compost Company. And in the face of all this, the movement for a more independent Vermont — a potentially useful presence in this discussion — is stuck in neutral, though with signs it might be about ready to kick into at least low gear. Some readers still might not be aware of Vermont’s independence, or secessionist, movement — a vocal group of citizens that’s been calling for the state to leave the Union since 2003. Its leader, Charlotte-based Thomas Naylor, is an author and retired Duke economics professor who once owned a software firm that catered to Fortune 500 companies. A brief disclosure: I’d written for Vermont Commons, the mostly likeable journal of the independence movement, since its very first issue, eager to support any effort to think about localness. I’d also taught what was likely the first college course on local food production, at Middlebury; spent a year eating only Addison County food; and fought against big-box stores that threaten local economies. I wasn’t a secessionist, really. I’ve spent much of my life in the

Adirondacks, and the idea of a passport to cross the Crown Point Bridge unnerves me. Still, these guys interested me — they were thinking at a level higher than the muddling-through that typically dominates political life. In a world as powerfully out of control as ours — a world in which even the weather is coming unhinged — there was a certain bracing realism in the secessionists’ thinking. Vermont really
might work better on its own. But then, a little more than a year ago, a brouhaha developed about the Second Vermont Republic, the sister organization of Vermont Commons. Naylor, wrote some bloggers, was working with the League of the South and similar groups around the country, some of which had politics most Vermonters would abhor. Naylor reacted to the criticism by attacking the
bloggers — implying that one in particular, John Odum of GreenMountain Daily.com, should lose his day job for “Internetting” on company time. It turns out Odum and others were essentially right about the League of the South. They’re retrograde in a particularly unpleasant way. As Michael Hill put it in the League’s “Grey Book,” a statement of their beliefs, “the evil genie of universal ‘human rights’ has been let

out of its bottle and will never be put back in; ‘rights’ for women, racial and ethnic minorities, homosexuals, pedophiles, etc. are being manufactured in a never-ending, and never to-be-ended, series.” As a result, everyone shifted their attention from the idea of 1x5(bw)-jobsmatch.indd independence to the bizarre coupling of Vermont organic farmers with neo-Confederate race baiting. After the last gathering of various secessionist groups in Chattanooga, the Second Vermont Republic reported on its website that an Associated Press story had concluded the gathering “represents the far left and far right of American politics coming together” — as if that was just the sort of thing you’d hope for. But the quote actually came from Harry Watson, director of the Center for the Study of the American South and a history professor at UNC-Chapel Hill. He’d prefaced his remarks by saying how odd it was to see Vermonters conferring with “an organization associated with a cause that many of us associate with the preservation of slavery.” People around America admire many things about Vermont. When I was in Charleston (think Fort Sumter) recently to give a talk, lots of folks were interested to hear about farmers’ markets and the Intervale and other stories I told about Vermont. Just for kicks, I mentioned our secession movement and its ties to the League of the South. They looked at me as if I’d said I enjoy a little crystal meth with my Cabot cheddar. Now even Naylor has decided to cut the ties. He issued an open letter this month explaining that the SVR couldn’t hang out with the LOS anymore because of a “perception” problem. It wasn’t a particularly gracious apology, but it does open the door for Vermonters to at least resume thinking about what an independent Vermont might look like without first having to refight the war between the states. As we go about that thinking, let me offer one small suggestion: This time, let’s focus

less on opposing tyranny and more on counting calories; let’s spend less time dressing up like Ethan Allen and issuing manifestoes and more time on electrons. Political independence may or may not be a good idea, and in any event it’s a long ways off. Functional independence would be the proper first step, and useful in its own right. We need a state more able to stand on its own two feet, and to withstand the tide of troubles coming our way. To use the most obvious example, agriculture dependent on massive quantities of fossil fuel is agriculture primed for collapse on a post-oil planet. Agriculture that concentrates on two or three crops — and two or three varieties of those — is agriculture primed to deteriorate in a world where weather is becoming more erratic. These are just the kind of issues that Vermont Commons keeps writing about, and that come up daily on the early-afternoon radio hour hosted by Carl Etnier or Rob Williams on WDEV. It’s the real agenda for anyone serious about anything like independence. Begin with food — that’s where most of us begin each day, anyhow. Vermont is deeply implicated in the global food system, which amounts to a way for us to buy bad food from vast distances at increasingly higher prices. But we’re also, as a relatively small
to drive them out of business). But for all the great work being done, incubating new farms and farmers in the Intervale, everyone I know in that world remains frustrated. We could expand local agriculture much faster if we had more resources, more leadership from Montpelier. If we were really committed to ramping up Vermont agriculture, we’d turn not to political theorists but to practitioners, like the ones listed below. I have no idea if they even think about a more independent Vermont, but I know they think all the time about the changes that would in reality make us more self-sufficient:
• The co-ops and farmers’ markets across the state that provide the market and scale — and, just as important, businesses such as Chelsea Green publishers that provide the intellectual resources
• Food educator Megan Camp, working hard on farm-to-school programs • Ben Gleason and his Bridport wheat field • George Schenk and American Flatbread • Alec Webb and Shelburne Farms • Peter Forbes and Helen Whybrow at Knoll Farm • Jack and Anne Lazor producing enough yogurt for an entire state at Butterworks Farm • NOFA director Enid Wonnacott and the large crew of farmers who were organic and local long before Martha Stewart decided it was cool • Tod Murphy, the restaurateur who has helped pioneer the potent combination of cheap and local • Food producers and distributors
And then there’s energy. If we’re going to free ourselves from reliance on the Persian Gulf, mountaintop removal and Vermont Yankee, we need to rethink power in myriad ways. Some of the ideas are large: Remember those dams on the Connecticut River that Gov. Douglas, in a major miscalculation, let slip away? Some are smaller, from Netaka White’s biodiesel campaign to the work emerging from the Biomass Energy Resource Center in Montpelier. Dozens of contractors are busy installing single-home solar units — and they’d be even busier if the state had subsidized that work instead of kowtowing to Entergy, owner of Vermont Yankee. Meanwhile, Community Hydro’s Lori Barg is scouting out
These are the kinds of people (and there are hundreds more) who can tell us how to accelerate this work. For instance, how the state ag agency could stop enabling the few Vermont farmers trying to work on an industrial scale and instead start building the slaughterhouses, canneries and community kitchens that are the next frontier.
The Douglas administration seems bent on trying to destroy the Intervale, our best example of gritty self-reliance.

population with several patches of decent soil, reasonably well equipped to provide more of our own dinner — fresher, tastier and better for our communities, and far less vulnerable to disruption from climate or peak oil. This isn’t some preposterous vision: Vermont mostly fed itself at earlier moments in its history, when the population was comparable. I remember standing out in David Zuckerman’s field at Full Moon Farm and asking him how long it would take Vermont to grow enough food to feed itself if we were suddenly cut off at our borders. He scratched his chin and pointed out that, thanks to High Mowing Organic Seeds in Wolcott, we now had our own source of seeds. “If we had to, I think we could do it in a growing season,” Zuckerman said. In fact, his fields make the point. They’re in the Intervale, where on 120 acres a dozen farmers provide 6 or 7 percent of the fresh food consumed by Burlingtonians (or will until the Douglas administration manages

And we’ve got Thunder Road, which surely can be reconfigured to run on homegrown fuel. (But even if we someday did secede from the U.S., I refuse to leave Red Sox Nation!) We need these pioneers to be joined by dozens more. We need more incubators such as the Intervale, and more creative help from Montpelier. We need to turn individual efforts into a working, statewide demonstration of what true sovereignty looks like. It’s possible to think about these achievements in a coherent way because of the scale of Vermont. Being a small state is not a curse — it’s a blessing. As Kirkpatrick Sale argued many years ago in his wonderful book Human Scale, it’s almost impossible trying to do anything useful past the point where you can see the impact and know the players. In Vermont, authors Frank Bryan and John McClaughry made the case in their 1989 book The Vermont Papers: Recreating Democracy on a Human Scale, and political scientist Bryan continues to think fruitfully about how we might yet evolve. But there’s no use pretending it’s easy — even Vermont is on the verge of being too big. Few individuals on my list above come from the southern edge of the state. Not because they’re not doing great things
down there; it’s just that I live far enough away that I don’t hear much about them. For me, the natural leaders of an emerging Vermont are the people actually doing the kinds of work mentioned here. They’re the ones who help us imagine surviving — with some panache — the upheavals of the 21st century, such as global warming and peak oil. We need them to answer questions infinitely more interesting than whether Abe Lincoln was an imperialist (a topic the Second Vermont Republic website revisits with annoying regularity), such as: • How do you run a landlocked country?
impression, from spending time there, is that they do it by working extremely hard, emphasizing education, and being very tightly knit.) The Swiss manage self-defense with a home-based but tightly coordinated force that involves pretty much every male up to the age of 60. How does that work? How would we do it in a state that’s having trouble finding volunteer firemen? Closer to home, the E.F. Schumacher Society in the Berkshires has set up an interesting experiment in local currency — I was there to speak at the party that marked the millionth Berk-Share put into circulation, and it filled
are also other reasons that bigness still makes sense — a federal government, for instance, could probably negotiate a treaty with the rest of the world on global warming more easily than a collection of tiny principalities, without which the discussion of any future may be moot. On the other hand, so far our central government has stood in the way of such a treaty, and small states have provided the real models (though not, it must be said, Jim Douglas’ Vermont). I understand the appeal of the romantic, bombastic approach to the independence idea — of pretending to be the Green Mountain Boys and sewing new
they’d built a solid community, where people trusted and relied on each other far more than most of us — even in Vermont — do in this day of hyper-individualism. They were united by joint grievance but also, one must assume, by affection. The process of building a Vermont that can even consider independence will be a process of building that affection and trust. Trying to cobble together enough resentment about Washington might seem like the quickest route, but it is building on sand. Instead of flinging grand historical cannonades, we need to figure out, say, how to insulate the homes of needier Vermonters so fuel bills don’t do
BILL MCKIBBEN
• What would it mean, in monetary terms, to build the institutions of a national government with such a small population base? • How do you keep local currencies from fluctuating wildly? • Is it rational to even talk about being able to defend our own turf? • If you don’t have oil, how do you keep your roads paved? Who has the best dirt roads on the globe, and how are they maintained? These practical questions and a thousand more require real investigation. If you look around the world at places with roughly comparable populations and climates as Vermont, you quickly come across, say, Iceland. The country manages to be, by some measures, the most livable nation on Earth with half as many people as Vermont and a much tougher climate. How do 300,000 people manage both a modern economy and all the functions of the modern state? (My
me with curiosity about how to build such systems. We need the modern-day equivalent of the early Colonists’ Committees of Correspondence, not to plot with others but to share information. Not vitriol, not fantasy, but information. We have time to answer these questions. Any political independence movement is going nowhere for now, and not just because of the sourness that came with the League of the South nonsense. I believe the U.S. is about to elect Barack Obama, the most interesting politician of my lifetime, as its president. I have doubts about whether he’ll get us completely back on the right course — it’s quite likely, as Naylor and others insist, that the country has simply grown too large for effective governance. But he’s going to get a shot, and he talks a better game than anyone has in decades. We should hope Obama succeeds, and not just because of all the difficulties involved in creating an independent Vermont. There
flags and issuing proclamations. I grew up in Lexington, Massachusetts, and when I was 14 and 15, my summer job was giving tours of the Battle Green. I had to wear a tricorne hat. It was actually stirring work, telling the story over and over of those first secessionists who chafed under the rule of a distant empire. But it was always useful to remind myself that those men were not themselves romantics. (For one thing, they weren’t re-enacting the Battle of Lexington. They were having the Battle of Lexington). These men were not especially eager for the fight — in fact, they were starting to drift away in the face of overwhelming force when a shot came from somewhere and began the battle. Those early residents of Lexington were pragmatic people. They’d founded a town, built its churches and public buildings, and laid out its roads. They were most concerned with the British threat to the tenuous prosperity they’d eked out. Most of all,
them in. We need to insure that people can afford a little land to live on or cut firewood from — work such as the Nature Conservancy’s Land Link for young farmers, or the new experiments in community-owned woodlots put forth by Vermont Family Forests. Those kinds of experiments, by their nature, rely on a sense of generosity that can’t be browbeaten into existence. It doesn’t mean not fighting; anyone who wants to fight should join this fall in defense of the Intervale, a cornerstone of any self-reliant Vermont. But it means fighting with the best tools Vermont has, instead of trying to borrow them from soreheads in other, sadder regions. Naylor himself actually listed them, in a recent squib for his new book, Secession. Vermont, he said, stood for “political independence, human scale, sustainability, power-sharing, equal opportunity, tension reduction, and community.” And we can add: good cider, good bread, good beer and good compost. m

Following in Bucky’s footsteps, Vermont eco-designer John Todd aims to heal the planet PHOTO: JORDAN SILVERMAN
by Ken Picard ohn Todd was just a boy, growing up on the north shore of Burlington Bay, Ontario, when his world seemed to collapse around him. Within a few years, his childhood playgrounds of nearby marshes and forestland were transmogrified into subdivisions and a golf course. “I was a sunny kid, and then I became depressed,” recalls Todd, now 69, who says he was left “psychically rudderless” by the rapid destruction of his once-familiar landscape. That is, until Todd’s father gave him a book by Louis Bromfield. The Pulitzer Prize-winning author and conservationist wrote several books on his hometown of Mansfield, Ohio, which had been decimated by years of bad agricultural practices. By adopting sustainable, grassbased farming methods, Bromfield rejuvenated an entire valley. His ideas had a similar restorative effect on Todd. “Here’s this 13-year-old kid reading this stuff and discovering that what can be destroyed can also be healed,” says Todd, a research professor at the University of Vermont’s Rubenstein School of Environment and BEFORE
the top 35 inventors of the 20th century. Ripton environmentalist and writer Bill McKibben describes Todd as among “the grand men of the environmental movement, cherished by all for his intelligence, his perseverance, his creativity and, not least, his good humor.” But Todd’s recent honor may be the most fitting. In June, he won the first annual Buckminster Fuller Challenge, an international competition among hundreds of scientists and inventors from 27 countries. Named after the iconoclastic architect, inventor and futurist who died in 1983, the Buckminster Fuller Institute gave Todd its grand prize of $100,000 for a submission that, according to the judges, best exemplified the guiding principles of Fuller’s life: a comprehensive, carbon-neutral plan for restoring the huge swaths of Appalachia that have been decimated by years of strip mining. It’d be hard to find someone more deserving of the award. “Bucky” Fuller, as his friends — Todd among them — called him, was a maverick scientist and thinker whose inventions include the geodesic dome. Think of the golf ball-shaped EPCOT Center in Orlando, Fla., or
and wetlands for snails and eelgrass. Sitting on a tabletop near a window is a mammoth Mason jar. At first glance, the sealed container, brimming with greenish water, reeds and silt, appears lifeless. But on closer inspection, as Todd points out, various life forms are teeming inside. The jar, part of a grad student’s experiment, contains mining waste from the Omya plant in Pittsford, which processes marble into calcium carbonate. About two years ago, the water, drawn from Lake Champlain, was “seeded” with the waste, as well as hundreds of different life forms from ponds and streams throughout the region. The species weren’t handpicked for the experiment, Todd explains. Instead, they’re being left to their own devices. Inside this potentially toxic environment, some species will die off while others will predominate. Ultimately, Todd is optimistic that the surviving life forms will be useful for repairing damaged soils and cleaning up polluted ecosystems, not just in Vermont but elsewhere. “What I like about ecological design,” he says, “is that for almost every problem out there . . . there is a solution
AFTER
THE BAIMA CANAL IN FUZHOU, CHINA, RECEIVES 750,000 GALLONS OF RAW SEWAGE EACH DAY. THE CITY HIRED TODD ECOLOGICAL DESIGN TO BUILD AN AFFORDABLE, LOW-MAINTENANCE AND ECO-FRIENDLY WASTEWATER TREATMENT SOLUTION, TURNING A PUBLIC HEALTH HAZARD INTO AN ENJOYABLE RECREATION AREA.
Natural Resources. “Had he not done that, my life would have been completely different.” Healing humanity’s scars on the natural world — or better yet, figuring out ways to leave none — has become a hallmark of Todd’s work. Today, he is an internationally recognized pioneer and visionary in the field of ecological design and engineering. This relatively young field seeks ways to meet humanity’s basic needs — food, water, shelter, energy, climate control, waste management and so on — with environmentally benign solutions. And it starts from the “radical” premise that humans can partner with nature rather than plunder it. For instance, Todd’s so-called “living machines” enlist naturally occurring life forms — bacteria, algae, fish, fungi, plants and trees — to the task of cleaning and restoring polluted waters. As Todd notes, “When I first started fooling around with this stuff, most biologists thought I was out to lunch.” No one thinks that anymore. In the last three decades, Todd has received numerous accolades for his work, including the Bioneers Lifetime Achievement Award in 1998 and the Global Visionary Award from the City of Chicago in 2006. In 1999, Time magazine named him a “Hero of the Earth.” The Lemelson-MIT Program for Invention and Innovation calls him one of
the Biosphere in Montréal — and the three-wheeled Dymaxion car, which was built in the 1930s and got 30 miles to the gallon. Fuller, who once proposed building a clear dome over New York City, combined a fertile imagination with a youthful idealism, which may explain why, in his seventies, he achieved a cult following among the Woodstock generation. Fuller saw all humanity as fellow travelers aboard “Spaceship Earth.” He once said, “I am not trying to imitate nature. I am trying to find the principles she is using.” Likewise, Todd has described his own career as a quest to “decode and decipher the inner workings of nature.” “When we try and solve design problems,” he says, “wouldn’t it be nice to borrow from nature’s operating instructions, from three-plus billion years of trial and error?”
On a recent afternoon, in his office at the University of Vermont, Todd looks as though he’s just returned from a day of clamming. His white, thinning hair is disheveled, and he’s dressed in a rumpled linen shirt, baggy shorts and sneakers. Ruddy-faced and hale, Todd has the rough, muscular hands and thick fingers of someone who’s spent years foraging in tidal pools
you can start working on.” Todd has been looking for eco-friendly solutions to humanity’s messes since college at Montréal’s McGill University, where he studied agriculture and tropical medicine. He later moved on to studying fisheries and oceanography at the University of Michigan. After a short stint as a professor at San Diego State, Todd was invited to join the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Woods Hole, Mass., as an assistant scientist. It was there that the major influence on his life — his wife, Nancy Jack Todd, whom he met in high school — encouraged him to put a “human face” on his biological research. (Nancy has shared in many of John’s prestigious awards, and is herself an accomplished writer as well as a dancer.) When the couple grew dismayed by a science that seemed only interested in chronicling the destruction of life on Earth, they launched the New Alchemy Institute in 1969, a name that paid tribute to the idealistic experimenters of the Middle Ages. The couple set up shop on a 12-acre farm in Cape Cod, where their new alchemy — later dubbed ecological design — could be explored. The goal, Todd recalls, was to live according to a principle Wendell Berry once called “solving for pattern” — that is, seeking solutions that don’t create new, unintended problems of their own.
It makes no sense, Todd says, if the methods we use to grow food, purify water and generate energy are as environmentally harmful as the problems they were designed to solve. In 1974, the Todds returned to Canada to begin work on The Ark for Prince Edward Island. This biosphere-like community applied many of the same tools and principles that have been used on Cape Cod. Opened in 1976 and dedicated by then-Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, The Ark was a sun- and windpowered community that featured living quarters, a lab and research center, greenhouses, food gardens and a fish farm. The Ark required no fossil fuels and — though the concept had yet to be conceived of, let alone named — was largely carbon neutral. In 1981, the Todds left New Alchemy and founded Ocean Arks International, an organization that’s still around today. Its primary mission has been to develop eco-friendly solutions to degraded environments, especially polluted waterways. (The name, “Ocean Arks,” comes from a wind-powered ocean vessel Todd hoped to build and sail around the world one day as an envoy for ecologically sustainable living.) Since 1982, Nancy Jack Todd’s Annals of Earth have chronicled OAI’s work, which now totals more than 80 ecological waste-treatment projects worldwide. Those projects include a biological waste-treatment facility built in South Burlington that incorporated many of the underlying principles at work in natural wetlands. Built in 1995 as a demonstration project funded by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, it used a series of giant steel tanks containing microorganisms, algae, plants, fish and animals to digest and absorb nutrients, biological toxins and heavy metals. This “Eco Machine” converted 80,000 gallons per day of raw sewage into relatively pure water in just two days. “We were able to demonstrate for the first time that ecological waste treatment works in a northern climate,” Todd explains. “We got as good a performance in winter as we did in spring, summer and fall.” Though the demonstration project was a success, the South Burlington Eco Machine was eventually mothballed. By 2000, EPA funding had dried up and the city had already built a conventional, chemical-based treatment plant. For a couple of years afterward, Todd tried to see how many different beneficial byproducts could be grown on the site using organic waste from the Magic Hat Brewery. In the end, they identified more than a dozen, which ultimately launched four new Vermont food companies that are still around today. Todd applied similar ideas to the design of the proposed Intervale Food Enterprise Center, a state-of-the-art greenhouse and food-processing plant. The “Eco-Park,” as it is known, would reuse and recycle nearly all its waste in a virtual closed loop. Steam from the wood-fired McNeil Generating Station would be piped underground to heat a 21,000-square-foot greenhouse and food-processing center. Spent grain and hops from a local brewery would be used for growing oyster mushrooms. Waste from the mushroom operation would be used for raising red worms, which in turn would produce compost for growing local flowers and vegetables. Later, the worms would be fed to fish and shrimp raised for market.
Unfortunately, the project has been stuck in limbo for more than five years. Todd has since moved on to other commercial endeavors, including Todd Ecological Design, Inc., which is run by his son and builds ecological technologies for food production, waste purification and environmental restoration.
There’s an ephemeral nature to some of Todd’s projects that, in a sense, echoes those of Buckminster Fuller; many of his ideas worked but never caught on. For example, a one-fifth-scale model of the Ocean Ark was built and sailed in Buzzards Bay off the Massachusetts coast. However, Todd wasn’t able to design the technology or raise the money (estimated at about $50 million) to build a fullsized version.
In 2001, the U.S. Department of Energy named The Ark one of the most significant buildings of the 20th century. That same year, the owners, recognizing the land’s development potential, bulldozed it. In the 1970s, Todd partnered with David Sellers, an innovative and forward-thinking architect living in Warren who designed, among other things, Patch Adams’ Gesundheit Hospital. For a time, Todd and Sellers worked together, with Fuller, on a project to complete the
Two years ago I was convinced that, as a civilization, we were sleepwalking into the future. I don’t feel that now. JOHN TODD “I would say two-thirds of the concepts we worked on for sailing ships of the future worked, and one-third were absolute disasters,” Todd admits. For example, the fixed-wing airfoil they designed to power the ship also caught the wind when it was moored and “yanked on its chain like a bad dog.” But perhaps the best — or worst — example of the impermanence of Todd’s work was the Ark on Prince Edward Island.

ect never materialized either, and the collective ideas of Todd, Sellers and Fuller were never realized. To date, the New York cathedral remains unfinished. Sellers also recalls partnering with Todd on a project to build a “solar sewer,” similar to an experimental one they’d built in the Mad River Valley. “Madeleine Kunin, who was governor at the time, walked on the planks above this giant swimming pool filled with sewage and plants growing out of it,” Seller recalls. “She said it was the coolest thing she’d ever seen.” But according to Sellers, Todd later got “screwed” out of his idea by some rich, eccentric “Dr. No” character who forced Todd to buy back his own technology. “I think John is a catalyst, just like Bucky was a catalyst,” Sellers says.

behind enormous impoundment dams, threatening entire towns. Driving this destruction is the world’s insatiable hunger for coal. About half the electricity consumed in the United States comes from coal-fired plants. Since 2002, coal prices have quintupled, rising from $22 dollars per ton to more than $130. During that same period, global coal consumption has risen 35 percent. The ever-growing demand has put even greater pressure on the Appalachian coalfields. The end result is increasing carbon-dioxide levels in the atmosphere that trigger climate change. About two years ago, Todd was approached by the Lewis Foundation of Cleveland to come up with a plan for decontaminating coal wastes. Todd and his assistants began by assembling an extensive library of all the scientific data they could find on the eco-

see it as a shortcoming. “John hasn’t compromised,” he says. “He’s remained committed to a better world.” For his part, Todd acknowledges that over the years there have been people who “made it their careers to try to wreck mine. I think it happens to every scientist.” About 10 years ago, for example, an office manager embezzled a significant sum of money from Ocean Arks International, and the organization struggled for several years to pay off its debts. (The former employee was later jailed.) Like any good scientist, Todd hasn’t dwelled on his mistakes but learned from them. In fact, if there’s a common theme running through his work, it’s an unwavering sense of hope for the future, even in the face of daunting challenges. And there aren’t many challenges more daunting than the threat of global warming.

1.5 million acres of strip-mined coal lands in Appalachia. Decades of mining have leveled forests, removed topsoil, lopped the tops off of mountains and filled the valleys with trillions of gallons of toxic, metals-laden coal slurry that sit
logical damage to Appalachia. “What I basically turned up was so horrible I said, ‘Fuck this, man! This is doom-watch science,’” Todd recalls. “‘I’m not interested in chronicling the end of the world.’” So Todd asked the Lewis Foundation if he could “change course” and come up with a more comprehensive solution to the problem. That award-winning vision, “Comprehensive Design for a Carbon Neutral World: The Challenge of Appalachia,” is literally a ground-up approach that begins with restoring degraded soils and then building on them through a succession of ecological activities similar to how nature would heal itself, given enough time — centuries, at least — and left to its own devices. The idea begins with the premise of a “carbon-neutral economic foundation” that involves “both modern scientific soil-building knowledge and traditional wisdom . . . in the Appalachian context.” For example, former mine workers would be employed for their considerable knowledge about how to, literally, move mountains. The scale of the cleanup would trigger the development of a large remediation industry, perhaps gleaning use-
ful byproducts from the detoxifying processes. The next step would be to establish a natural resource base that includes biomass forestry and ecologically sustainable agriculture. “The sequestration of carbon into timber and soils,” Todd writes, “will be a measure of the success of the project.” But Todd also knew that his vision had to be more than just ecologically sound; it had to economically viable, too. No matter how innovative or cutting-edge the remediation science, Todd believed it would be impossible, even unethical, to propose a project of this scale without including the concept of “an ownership society” in which all citizens of the region share in the emerging wealth. Indeed, the capstone of Todd’s project would be the transfer of ownership of the land and its natural resources to the people who live there, particularly those who had a hand in its recovery. He proposes a “21st-century equivalent of the Homestead Act,” with financial institutions that would facilitate rehabitation of the land. As Todd puts it, “It is possible to do good things in bad places.” Todd is currently trying to raise $10 million to buy a 45-mile stretch of degraded coal lands in order to get started. His plans include building a major wind farm on the site, which would provide an instant revenue stream to the project. As Todd wrote in his white paper to the Lewis Foundation, “The greatest limitations to the creation of symbiotic economic systems remain the blinders created by traditional single-sector thinking and the limits of our imaginations.” Not surprisingly, the Buckminster Fuller Challenge Jury was enamored with Todd’s approach, calling it “one of the only true whole systems projects that is place-based but widely applicable,” not only in Appalachia but also in the coal regions of Afghanistan, Poland and Eastern Europe. “Todd’s vision,” they wrote, “could provide some answers and a roadmap to get there.”
When asked if he’s optimistic about the future, Todd pauses for a moment, closes his eyes and squeezes his forehead between his fingers. On the one hand, he notes, China is building two coal-fired plants per week while consuming the world’s resources at a rate beyond comprehension; he says he is “completely convinced” that China is going to run out of water within the next few years. At the same time, Todd also believes that people are finally waking up to the enormity of the challenge of climate change. He recalls that, after giving his acceptance speech at the Buckminster Fuller award ceremony, he was approached by the president of a major coal company, who asked Todd if he would be willing to advise him on changing course. “Two years ago I was convinced that, as a civilization, we were sleepwalking into the future,” he says. “I don’t feel that now. When you start working with complex systems,” he continues, “it takes a long time, because there’s a lot to know. It really takes a lifetime to get to first base. And now, I’m at peace with that.” �

“caller,” who tends to shout. Why 1883? That’s the year the group’s founder and namesake Edward Loyal Larkin first learned the dances, at age 17. “The Larkin parents were God-fearing folks and did not allow their children to go to dances,” begins the company’s collected history, entitled And Everyone Would Sashay. Regardless, author Ruth Sher explains, a curious Ed Larkin couldn’t resist and, while his parents were out of town, snuck out of his Westmore, Vermont, home one night to check out the Tunbridge Ball. “Once inside the door, Ed made his way quietly and unobtrusively to his chosen point of vantage and seclusion behind the spacious box stove off to one corner,” writes Sher. Like a heat-seeking missile, a young miss snatched the wallflower up for a dance. A few weeks later, Larkin announced to his parents that he’d be attending another Tunbridge Ball, and there was little they could do about it. Larkin enjoyed the event so much, he started to organize noontime contras and accompany them with his harmonica. But that wasn’t enough; he soon contracted the so-called “fiddle itch”— an overwhelming desire to play the fiddle — and before long was doing just that all over town. Though Larkin is long gone, Harold Luce remembers him well. The current fiddler for the Ed Larkin Contra Dancers, he learned to play at age 13 from the founder himself. “He was very strict,” remembers Luce. “He’d be calling, and, if you missed a step or someone turned wrong, he’d stop you. He was a perfectionist.” Before Luce became the group’s full-time fiddler, Larkin’s daughter Gertrude used to accompany the dancers. In And Everyone Would Sashay, Gertrude recalls nights spent riding with her father to kitchen junkets — contra events held in people’s homes. “Mom didn’t want me to go. She thought I was too young,” Gertrude says. “She would say, ‘Ask your father.’ Dad liked the company and someone to drive the horse home so he could sleep after a day’s work

and all-night fiddling and prompting. He didn’t hesitate to say, ‘Yes.’” Gertrude remembers tackling snowdrifts and dancing till dawn as she and her father traveled the Vermont midlands, entertaining small towns along the way. Today Gertrude no longer accompanies the group. “She has Alzheimer’s and is down at the nursing home now, but we just let her keep playing until one day she sat down and said, ‘I think I’m not going to play today,’” Luce says. “She never played again.” Luce himself shows no signs of slowing down, though. The spry eightysomething handles the fiddle with care and takes pride in his skill. “I can fiddle somersaults around most,” he boasts, “but I don’t find no fault in others’ playing.” When asked if he thinks performing with the group keeps him young, Luce laughs and says, “It can’t hurt.” Like the aging singers in the current movie Young@Heart, the Ed Larkin Contra Dancers show an energy that speaks to the benefits of an active retirement. The members are just as notable for their wardrobes. For performances, all of them dress in reproductions of 19th-century garb:
organization to preserve its original steps. Fast-forward to 2008 in that same idyllic village of Tunbridge, a place that resembles the label on a bottle of Hidden Valley Ranch. Every few months, the Ed Larkin Contra Dancers host an informal gathering at Town Hall to share their movements and teach the public. And, just as Larkin did back in 1883 — albeit not with buggies and ponies — dancers and curious guests arrive for an evening of old-time contra dance. More people show up than you’d expect. “You meet people and have a good laugh,” says Peggy Branwell, who looks about 25. She’s come to the town hall with three young comrades. “Contra dance is really big in the Hanover area,” explains Branwell. “There’s also a crew that goes to Norwich, and there are dances at Dartmouth with a live band and caller. You have to bring a change of clothing and a lot of water — it’s a workout.” The Ed Larkin crew quickly assimilates the youngsters. Luce rosins up his bow and starts to play. Troupe president Clyde Jenne takes the mike: “Hands in the middle, now sashay down. Sashay back, now spin around.”

Today, many of the female members sew their own. Swayze agrees that the costumes allow the group to strengthen their connection with the past. They have Ed Larkin to thank for that, too. While he fiddled his way through the glory days of contra dance around Chelsea, Washington and Tunbridge, the style’s popularity eventually waned as interest in ballroom dance grew. With admirable foresight, Larkin prevented the disappearance of his beloved contra by founding, in 1934, an

Reading, Righting and Responses ast week’s cover story on Pine Ridge School, “Hard Lessons� by Ken Picard, provoked numerous responses. Some people took issue, quite vehemently, with our depiction of the school’s troubles and its headmaster, Dana Blackhurst. Unfortunately, those who were most angry about the accuracy and fairness of the story would not agree to have their comments published in our letters section; nor were they willing to have them edited for space, as we routinely do. Seven Days values the opinions of our readers, especially those who have concerns about how we report, write and present the news. We hope to be able to publish a more comprehensive airing of the response to “Hard Lessons� in the near future. For now, here’s what those readers who agreed to be published had to say. THE REAL DANA I was the registrar/office manager and assistant to Dana Blackhurst from July 2006 to January 2007. This article is ridiculous. First, Dana is far from frightening. He is extremely caring and gives individual attention to each student and his or her needs. Even with students that he and Pine Ridge staff found to be outside the educational profile, he would help them plan for which educational institution would best suit that child’s needs. In any company, new management and changes bring fear and resentment. He has helped to organize and structure academics. Extracurriculars are important, but learning comes first. He wants to help students achieve, learn, attend college, organize themselves and become successful adults. As for the so-called “cinder blocks� that the students were asked to carry, they were small bricks and were moved right in front of my office window. This method of discipline has been used for years, and if there were ever any bleeding from this, which there wasn’t, the nurse would surely have been alerted. This article is a gross misinterpretation of facts, and I believe it to be a personal attack on Mr. Blackhurst by an author informed by angry ex-employees. Tori Frasher CHARLOTTE, NC
PARENTAL CLARIFICATION To clarify a few things in the article about Pine Ridge School: 1. My son’s last year at Pine Ridge was not “horrific.� However, that word does describe certain aspects of the 2007-08 school year, when Woody volunteered weekly as part of his independent home-study program. And though he was not on the roster, he was working toward his Pine Ridge diploma. 2. As former vice president of the Pine Ridge School Parents Association, I was involved in the search for a new headmaster. The search committee and board of directors hired Dana Blackhurst despite grave concerns of staff and parents that were voiced and dismissed. There was deep division at the school. Therefore, the fallout that ensued upon Dana Blackhurst’s arrival is not surprising. 3. After reading the article, some might think that homework and student accountability was nonexistent until Dana Blackhurst arrived. This is false. 4. “Educational drift� is another vague and confusing term. Do not discount the fact that many Pine Ridge graduates, including my son, have solid reading and writing skills. They worked diligently to achieve their goals. This needs to be recognized.
5. The tutorial program that existed at Pine Ridge School was excellent, as was the counseling program. Those two programs, along with talented classroom educators, created a supportive environment where students gained confidence and skills. 6. It is my wish that current and future Pine Ridge students have such a positive and supportive educational environment. The loss of what was once there is profound and unfortunate. Positive change can occur without destruction. Martha Sacco HINESBURG
UNMET GOALS Ken Picard has written a timely and truthful article about the situation at the Pine Ridge School. There is indeed a profound sense of sadness for the parents and students who had to make the difficult decision to leave the school this year. My son had been to several different schools prior to attending Pine Ridge. An important goal for him was to be able to spend four years there and to graduate. When he started in 2006, we fully expected him to be able to fulfill this goal. After Dana Blackhurst came on as the headmaster, it was clear that it was not to be. Dana made it extremely clear to students and parents alike that if we weren’t happy with how he ran the school, we were welcome to leave. Both he and the Board of Trustees were prepared to start the school from scratch. Perhaps that was even their goal. They did not want and would not accept any parental input into their destruction of the school. There was no real search for a new headmaster for Pine Ridge. Dana was handpicked by the Board of Trustees. We can only hope that the Board is completely satis-
fied with their decision, as they stand alone with the outcome. Pamela Burch MARBLEHEAD, MASS
A PINE RIDGE SUCCESS My bright, intelligent, 16-yearold son is dyslexic and will be a fourth year student at The Pine Ridge School this fall. He will be a junior. Pine Ridge changed my son’s life, all for the better. Public school failed him over and over. There was no purpose to Ken Picard’s article about Dana Blackhurst and the Pine Ridge School. I agree there has been a tremendous amount of change this past year at the school. Some wonderful educators left the school and will be sorely missed. I also believe there was a lot of tension between the school board, headmaster, educators and staff. My son never felt the negative undercurrent thanks to the professionalism of his teachers and the fact that it was not gossiped about at home. My husband and I truly believe in Pine Ridge and will send our son there for the next two years. It is an amazing place that was able to help my child with his learning disability. My son is reading at grade level and learning all his subjects at grade level. Ken Picard should rethink his article and find out about all the successful students that are in college or in the workplace thanks to Pine Ridge. Penelope Reed HINESBURG
A SAD REALITY I would like to sincerely thank Ken Picard for the first honest and open assessment of the situation at what was once a fantastic school. My daughter attended Pine Ridge during the three years prior to Mr. Blackhurst taking over. The “old Pine Ridge� changed her life. The people at that school were warm and loving and taught in a way that learning disabled children could truly benefit from. My daughter learned and grew and is now entering her sophomore year in college, having been on Dean’s List during both of her freshman semesters. When it was revealed to us that not only was there a new headmaster, but one who had a totally different philosophy along with limited educational skills, I was horrified. I did write a letter in protest but was vilified to the point that I felt that my daughter would be treated unfairly due to my public objections. Ultimately, of course, all my concerns have come to a very sad reality. It is a shame that money and ulterior motives have gotten in the way of the education and happiness of these deserving children. I am very relieved to hear that there will now be another school — Middlebridge in Rhode Island — where these children will be able to thrive. Barbara G. Freundlich NEW YORK, NY

I have been well aware of NOFA and the good work it’s been doing since I was a student at Rutgers University, back in the early ’80s, and I am certainly not alone. Don’t presume that just because you have a limited sphere of knowledge and experience that others do as well. Maybe you should take some time and learn a little more about all the positive work being done by so many so-called “virtually unknown entities,� and help get the word out. Cyndi Snyder WESTFORD
RHETORICALLY GREEN Thank you, thank you, Shay Totten! It’s about time we saw some real coverage about what’s going on in the Douglas administration and the misguided and heavy-handed tactics used to vilify Karl Hammer’s absolutely necessary contribution to sustainable agriculture in the state [“Fair Game,� July 16]. It seems to me for all the rhetoric that Vermont legislators like to toss around about being a “green� state, only certain people in certain places can run environmentally beneficial businesses. The Vermont Compost Company is a true friend of the environment and humans alike. The loophole that this business falls through should be viewed as an embarrassment to these legislators who speak from both sides of their mouths. Composting is not easy nor is it glamorous, but it is a much needed service and should be treated as such. As our economy grows ever weaker, it seems the legislature is perfectly at ease with taking livable wage jobs away from its citizens. Selfish neighbors with political connections and a NIMBY agenda should not be placated at the cost of Karl Hammer, his employees, organic farmers, “Buy Vermont� consumers and the taxpayers of Vermont. Jessica Bernier BARRE
FPF FEEDBACK I was glad to see Seven Days’ coverage of a Front Porch Forum discussion about neighborhood drug dealing. However, the title of your article [“Moderator Shuts Down Online Debate on ONE Drug Use,� July 16] mischaracterized the situation. We were not squelching community dialogue about this important issue — just the opposite. Front Porch Forum exists to encourage and facilitate this kind of communication. I took the highly unusual step of suspending a single topic on one of our 130 neighborhood forums for two weeks in an
attempt to let tempers cool and to reclaim a civil and inclusive tone. Allowing a neighborhood forum to devolve into an online shouting match among a tiny minority of subscribers drives people away and serves no one’s long-term interest. In fact, we’re encouraged by the results in this case. Where previously there was little talk about drug dealing, now there’s loads of it, among hundreds of neighbors, city councilors, police and others. Media is reporting on this important issue. Public meetings are in the works. Front Porch Forum was a starting point and a catalyst for this positive activity. So I respectfully offer an alternative headline: “Neighbors Use Front Porch Forum to Ignite Drug Dealing Discussion.� Michael Wood-Lewis
BURLINGTON
Wood-Lewis is the co-founder of FrontPorchForum.com. SCROLL AWAY It feels very strange to have the Old North End Front Page Forum reported on [“Moderator Shuts Down Online Debate on ONE Drug Use,� July 16]. When “the Moderator� decided to cut the discussion I felt like Big Brother stepped in, and this coverage confirms it. I feel sorry for the people who decided to quit FPF rather than use their scroll bar. There are so many positive things happening on the forum, but of course that wouldn’t be news, would it? No one had to watch the video — it was an attachment. It was very easy to skip it and go on to whose dog was missing or who had a bike stolen. It’s also strange that the police are monitoring the forum. What are they hoping to accomplish by “watching� us? I have no problem with a police officer joining as a neighbor, but your report made it sound like he’s just watching — creepy! But I’m not going to be one of the quitters. There have been too many things of interest I would have missed if I wasn’t a member, including the drug discussion. There were some valuable comments, and people shared their stories and ultimately there was a joining together. I don’t see what the big deal was. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. And, in this format it’s so easy to ignore someone if you don’t want to get involved. I wonder if this discussion would have been stopped if it happened anywhere but the ONE? Oh, that’s right, only the ONE has problems like these! Oops, my cynical side just popped out. Please just scroll away. Jack Brewster BURLINGTON

Avian Anxiety In southern Vermont, researchers study the at-risk Bicknell’s Thrush
McFarland says, pointing to digital maps of the species’ “richness” on his laptop while he sits in the cluttered Ski Patrol hut. “Its ability to change that rapidly or adapt that rapidly would surprise me.” The team has just returned from a net run in which they pulled a Bicknell’s Thrush from the tangles of a mist net. The net is made of thin nylon and is virtually invisible. A partnering biologist from the Dominican Republic, the
emission scenarios issued by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, McFarland isn’t expecting a repeat of that leisurely adaptation. “I will die and there will still be Bicknell’s Thrush,” he says. “My daughter? Not so sure. My daughter’s daughter? There probably will not be Bicknell’s Thrush if climate change continues as predicted. I don’t know if trees can react that fast. This [current] warming is going to happen in 150 to
aren’t certain of mercury’s effects on the birds, their speculations aren’t positive. “We’re the tail pipe of the nation,” explains McFarland, as VCE Director Chris Rimmer extracts a blood sample from a Sharp Shinned Hawk to test for its mercury count. “Mercury from the Ohio Valley is transported and comes to us in rain and snow, and a lot of it gets wicked out in the needles of the high-elevation trees.”
We have got to get real about funding these long-term monitoring studies. We are heading for major ecological change. HECTOR GALBRAITH, AVIAN ECOLOGIST SARAH FREY BANDING ON STRATTON MOUNTAIN

t’s 3:30 a.m. on the summit of Stratton Mountain. The sun won’t rise for another two hours, but scientists from the Vermont Center for Ecostudies (VCE) have already begun their search for “the canary of the mountains,” more commonly known as Bicknell’s Thrush. While their coffee percolates inside the Ski Patrol hut, VCE field directors Sara Frey and her husband Juan Klavins open mist nets around Stratton’s high-elevation trails to catch the rare bird, which breeds only in the montane fir forests of the U.S. Northeast and parts of the Gaspé Peninsula in Québec. Frey and Klavins, along with a field technician and a project intern from the University of Vermont, have shared this Balsam fir habitat with the Bicknell’s Thrush for the better part of six weeks, collecting blood samples, banding the birds and finding their nests using radio telemetry. “This work is difficult,” admits Frey, who sleeps in the bed of her Toyota pickup at night with Klavins. The research team has endured varying weather, black flies and little sleep for weeks on the summit. But as scientists who study a bird facing imminent extinction from climate change, the conservation of Bicknell’s takes priority over their own discomfort. “[Bicknell’s] are very secretive,” Frey says, “and it takes patience to study their behavior, when you can look at one.” Frey says she became “hooked” on Bicknell’s research in 2003 when she got involved with an ongoing ecological and demographic study of the bird. Because their breeding habitat exists only in these mountainous regions, which VCE biologists say exaggerates problems such as climate change and atmospheric deposition of mercury, the Bicknell’s is at risk of losing its habitat and ultimately the entire species. “It is a species that is so closely associated with a specific habitat — montane forests of the Northeast — that it can not only help us understand how to direct conservation of Bicknell’s Thrush but the ecosystem as a whole,” says Frey, who has been working with Woodstock-based Kent McFarland, a VCE conservation biologist who joined the Bicknell’s research in 1994. With help from biologists such as Frey and citizen scientists — trained volunteers — McFarland and his colleagues have collected extensive data on Bicknell’s Thrush and their diminishing habitats. Their most recent work was included in the peerreviewed paper “Potential Effects of Climate Change on Birds of the Northeast,” published in April in Mitigation and Adaptation Strategies for Climate Change. In the paper, McFarland and fellow biologist Dan Lambert from the American Bird Conservancy predict that the current pace of carbon dioxide emissions will raise temperatures enough to produce major population declines in high-elevation birds like the Bicknell’s. With only about 40,000 of them left, there’s reason to worry, says McFarland, who has accompanied Frey and the research team on the summit for the day. Using computer-simulated warming, the duo found that raising the mean summer temperature by 1 degree Celsius would reduce the availability of suitable Balsam fir habitat for the Bicknell’s by more than half. An increase of 2 degrees, expected before the next century, would eliminate all breeding sites in the Catskills and most in the Green Mountains. “Bicknell’s are so tied to this Balsam fir forest that they don’t seem to have much plasticity to go to another forest type,”
Bicknell’s thrush wintering grounds, holds the olive-brown bird as it flutters in his hands and gives a slurred whistle. This particular Bicknell’s was banded by the VCE “almost a year ago to the day,” McFarland says. After updating the bird’s data, Pat Johnson, the team’s field technician, returns the bird to its nesting area then checks on its nest, dubbed “stumpy” — a tight bed of twigs and fungus tucked into a mangled stump deep within the forest. These forests, McFarland explains, adapted to a slow warming period nearly 3500 years ago by moving to higher elevations. That took more than a thousand years. Considering the current carbon
200 years. It’s a totally different beast. The forest zones will literally lose ground.” To make matters worse, the VCE is now saying that Bicknell’s and other highelevation birds are susceptible to the atmospheric deposition of mercury as well. The same coal-burning plants emitting carbon and contributing to global warming are dumping mercury on the mountain peaks of the Northeast. McFarland says mercury deposition maps of the Northeast encompass the Bicknell’s Thrush habitats. The mercury works its way up the food chain: The Bicknell’s Thrush eats leaf-eating insects, and the Sharp Shinned Hawk eats Bicknell’s. While the biologists at VCE
The Dummerston office of avian ecologist Hector Galbraith lies roughly 30 miles southeast of where the Vermont Center for Ecostudies researched the Bicknell’s Thrush. Galbraith is also the director of the Climate Change and Energy Initiative at the Manomet Center for Conservation Sciences in Massachusetts. In a phone conversation, Galbraith says the organization should become a model for state and private research organizations in the coming decades. “This is the exact sort of research we need to be doing to track these birds in real time and deal with climate change, because Bicknell’s are so exquisitely sensitive and vulnerable to climate change,” he says. “Their thermal habitat may very well go before the fir forest [does].” Galbraith notes Bicknell’s and their habitat will need to move up 900 feet, but they don’t have 900 feet to move. “Whatever way you look at it, this is not good news for Bicknell’s Thrush,” he says. Despite its diminishing habitat and susceptibility to mercury deposition, among other effects jeopardizing the species’ demography, it is not listed as “endangered” or “threatened” by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). USFWS Spokesperson Valerie Fellows says research grants are typically prioritized by species depending on their endangered or threatened status at the federal and

state level. In the 2007 fiscal year, USFWS’ National Wildlife Refuge System provided VCE with $16,062 for its work with Bicknell’s Thrush; in 2008, it was just $3600. Vermont Fish & Wildlife and private foundations brought the annual funding for this project to about $100,000. “We have got to get real about funding these long-term monitoring studies,” protests Galbraith. “We are heading for major ecological change. Climate change is not just a thing of the future, it’s happening now. “Even at first glance it’s obvious that the species is fragmented,” he continues. “It has a small population with limited distribution in the U.S. and its habitat is quite vulnerable. With that said, there have been a lot of petitioned candidates recently but few actual listings.” Waiting out the political climate in Washington, the VCE is focusing on saving their feathered friend, and has spearheaded the formation of the International Group for Bicknell’s Thrush Conservation. “We’d like to get the bird on a corrective course and we needed a formal entity,” McFarland explains. “In the end, we’ll have a road map for Bicknell’s Thrush habitat: Here’s the problem, here’s the solution, and here’s how we’re going to do it.” Meanwhile, the field season is about to end atop Stratton. The team has ingested enough Thai noodles, bean burritos and Yerba Maté to tide them over until next summer, but as they pack up their gear, they’ve got something new to ponder: a Bicknell’s-Veery hybrid. Frey, who has kept a blog while on the mountain, mentions the discovery in her June 20 post: “This bird sang a slightly odd Veery song and then about every 3rd song it sang a short Veery song that ended abruptly and broke into the ending of a Bicknell’s thrush song! We quickly captured it in a mist net playing its own song back to itself.” VCE has planned to run DNA tests on the bird to find out whether the mother is Bicknell’s or Veery, says McFarland. The hybrid is not necessarily an indication of climate change, as recently reported. “Veery is very nearby Bicknell’s Thrush habitat and they are closely related,” he says. “It is just interesting to find. Now, if it began to occur more and more, then it might be interesting to understand why. Hybrids occur among organisms all the time.” It’s now after 11 a.m. The team takes down the mist nets. McFarland stuffs his pockets with the nylon and carries the netting poles over his shoulder, cracking jokes at Rimmer’s expense. “We have fun too,” he admits. McFarland takes a moment to rest inside the hut. Tugging on the binoculars strapped around his long-sleeved flannel, he glances out the window. “I’m not necessarily a religious person, but I sort of find my mystery in life in things like Bicknell’s Thrush,” he muses. “I would be really sad if they go. These are like great works of art. You’re not going to recreate them again.” �

drugs; by resisting our craving for drama, Chekhov forces us to consider the psychological implications of Sorin’s “illness.� Of course, The Seagull wouldn’t be a good play without some drama: Its plot revolves around four principal characters who can’t help stepping on each other’s toes. Arkadina, an insecure but pompous actress, has come from Moscow to visit her brother Sorin at his country estate. She is accompanied by Trigorin, a standoffish writer prone to pontificating about fishing. They are joined at Sorin’s estate by Arkadina’s suicidal son, Constantine, and his crush, Nina, the daughter of a local landowner. The trouble begins when Trigorin develops a wandering eye for Nina, an aspiring young actress. That irks Constantine, a wannabe writer who resents Trigorin’s fame and craves attention from Arkadina, his self-absorbed mom. The pressure builds. Arkadina, jealous of Nina and annoyed with her son, declares, “You’ve all ganged up today to torture me!� Over the course of the play, Chekhov’s principal leads are flanked by an ensemble of quirky, depressive relatives and servants. As the plot angles toward two obvious questions — Will Trigorin sleep with Nina? Will Constantine kill himself? — the characters ponder some universal questions related to aesthetics. Among them: Who decides what’s avant-garde? What makes a good work of art? Is it possible to produce good art and be happy? Unobtrusive set design and costuming helped establish a convincing 19th-century setting. Ellen Blachly’s painted backdrop of a yellow manor house, for example, effectively evoked the Russian countryside, and with the exception of some curiously modern rubber boots, all of Debra Herbst’s costumes seemed fitting enough for the period. While the parlor in Acts 3 and 4 could have been more dramatically lit, its see-though back door complemented an elusive rendezvous between Nina and Constantine. Susannah Blachly and her real-life husband Tom turned in stellar performances as Arkadina and Trigorin. As self-important Arkadina, Susannah’s overbearing stage presence and gaudy dresses were appropriately loud and domineering. Despite being too old for his role — Trigorin’s under-40-ness makes Arkadina extra jealous of his affair with Nina — 51-year-old Tom played the fishing-

obsessed author with a perfect mixture of patience and self-deprecating humor. The Blachly’s young foils, Hannah Brown and Orion Lay-Sleeper, handled tough roles with confidence and professionalism. As Nina, Brown modulated from super-naĂŻve in Act 1 to ultra-jaded by play’s end. Along the way, she delivered her most ironic lines with composure. (“It isn’t easy to act in your play,â€? she tells Constantine of his hopelessly allegorical stab at playwriting. “There are no living characters in it.â€?) Brown’s dramatic counterpart, University of Vermont sophomore Orion Lay-Sleeper, played the suicidal Constantine without sounding too melodramatic. An entertaining crew of peripheral characters greatly enhanced the central drama. Perhaps the best performance of the evening came from Clarke Jordan in the role of Dr. Dorn. More than the other actors, Jordan almost always spoke to tasteful, wryly comic effect. David Klein as Sorin and Bob Belenky as the estate manager raised the tenor of the show with exaggerated arguments and goofy soliloquies. Director Blachly’s grandson Adam played the servant Yakov with flair. Some problems ensued on account of age differentials between cast members. For one, it was hard to imagine soon-to-be college-freshman Brown smooching Tom Blachly as the script suggests she should have — their real-life age difference would have made a kiss seem mildly creepy, rather than clandestine as Chekhov intended. It was equally difficult — and gross — to imagine 18-year-old Ella Belenky as gloomy Masha shacking up with David Kahn. (The retired schoolteacher played Medvedenko — a schoolteacher.) Age issues were ignorable, but they underscored a more chronic problem: lack of momentum. Act 1 seemed to build to Act 2, but Act 3 ended on a strangely low-energy note, and the play fizzled after that. At the beginning
The Seagull is populated by a band of restless, middle-class idlers with an uncanny knack for articulating why they are unhappy. of Act 4 — which takes place two years after the end of Act 3 in plot time — Brown and Lay-Sleeper were fighting to keep our attention. To director Blachly’s credit, it’s hard to say how much the show’s fitful pace had to do with his actors and how much with the script itself. Just as Chekhov liked to bend dramatic conventions by sketching undramatic characters and anti-climactic scenes, he also tinkered with play structure. By deliberately skipping two years’ worth of important events between Acts 3 and 4 in The Seagull, Chekhov subverts our expectations of a standard climax and dĂŠnouement. “I wrote it forte and ended it pianissimo,â€? he wrote a friend in 1895 just before the play’s Moscow debut, “contrary to all the rules of dramatic art.â€? Indeed, by the time the last act opens, fates are largely sealed. Nina and Trigorin have already conceived and lost a child, and the famous writer has returned to Arkadina, his original lover. What’s more, both Nina and Constantine are now successful — albeit tortured — artists. When a gunshot finally rings out backstage at the very end of the play, it feels like an afterthought; the remaining characters carry on their card game, and no one except Dorn goes outside to see what happened. As if we couldn’t see it coming, the doctor discovers that Constantine has just shot himself. The Seagull’s ending may not be “dramaticâ€? in a conventional sense, but it’s so cruelly ironic as to be sort of funny — in other words, quintessentially Chekhovian. ďż˝

ARTWORK
“Milliamp” by John Brickels
PHOTO
Marc Awodey
haracteristically, the newest works by Essex Junction artist John Brickels are playful and innovative. His “Bolts and Bots” exhibition of clay sculptures at Montpelier’s Lazy Pear Gallery is a complete departure from his signature dilapidated buildings constructed from extruded stoneware. Here Brickels’ masterpieces incorporate found metal components, electrical tidbits and glass eyes into hundreds of pounds of malleable mud. He has expertly crafted humble clay into robots, vehicles and surreal mechanical objects. The pieces are mystifyingly detailed and flawlessly built by hand. Brickels keeps his fired stoneware naturally colored, like raw, unfired clay, as if to emphasize his illusionistic forms without the distractions of glaze or paint. He does, however, effectively juxtapose the textures of materials, especially clay with weathered old toys and rusted patinas. “Falcon” is a 19-by-17by-8-inch wall piece consisting of the front end of a rusted pedal car replete with clay belts, springs, fan, alternator and wheel. Everything is in scale with the pedal car grill. It’s like a junkyard vehicle being scrounged for parts. “Knobby” has the same theme and scale, with a pair of wheels prominent in its undercarriage. The wall piece “Wired” is a 22-by30-by-6-inch, fanciful object referenc-
clay, though it appears to be held together by rivets and bolts. “Steam Bot” is a 23-inch-tall cylindrical wall piece with large brown eyes. A copper valve and rings of would-be rivets appear in the section of pipe. The glass eyes Brickels uses are from a taxidermy supply shop; they include large alligator eyes as well as those of lions and other cats. Just like the tiny white dot a portrait painter adds to a subject’s pupils, Brickels’ faux animal eyes suggest life. The two main robots in Brickels’ exhibition are human-sized. “Box Bot” is the less fortunate of the pair. The 42by-48-by-35-inch “clinking, clanking, clattering collection of caliginous junk” — as the Wizard of Oz once called the Tin Woodsman — is heaped into a wooden crate with a perplexed look on its mechanized face. The robot is sadly disarticulated with pneumatic hoses, gears, rods, bolts and other ceramic details tossed into the crate. It probably wasn’t a clay robot that collapsed; Brickels wouldn’t have made such a mistake. He no doubt designed this one with signature wry humor. The 6-foot-tall standing “Milliamp” steals the show, and confirms that Brickels is a consummate clay robotics engineer. “Milliamp” looks like a boiler on spindly legs with shock-absorber calves. In addition to the usual amazing details — the robot even holds a wrench with

Red, yellow and gray valves are attached to a curved stoneware pipe; added to it is a sort of electrical box with three short wires and a partially open cover. The latter is held on with only one Phillips screw — that is, a perfect facsimile made of clay. “Pipe Dream” is a tangle of seven large-diameter pipes with shiny new metal valves affixed to the clay. Brickels’ new robot series blends anthropomorphic forms with sculpted technological details. His creations are like L. Frank Baum’s Tin Woodsman, or Tik-Tok of Oz. “Alphabot” is a 19-by15-by-7-inch wall piece with a smile and green glass eyes. It’s otherwise all
a brand name stamped on it — Brickels installed an inner power source so that the needle of an amp meter inserted into “Milliamp’s” chest pulses with a heart beat. Two vacuum tubes on the robot’s head flash with iridescent colors, as if the friendly bot is having a brilliant idea. Ceramic technology dates back to the Neolithic epoch, when humans simultaneously began to fashion both utilitarian pottery and fetishistic figurines. Brickels’ sculptural use of ceramics to mimic fanciful modern technologies is a whole new take on the ancient medium. MARC AWODEY

substance — which makes a heavy, crystallike product. And the color he applies to most of his pieces is always sandwiched between two layers of clear glass — a timeconsuming process that creates extra luster. In his workshop, a barn beside his Marshfield home, Cole follows a packed peak-season summer schedule. On Mondays, he spends all day melting down 300 pounds of batch in a crucible inside his high-tech pot furnace. Controlled by a computer, it can be precisely heated to 2450º F.
GABRIEL COLE GLASSBLOWER
Hot Commodity
G See a slideshow of Gabriel Cole’s work online at seven daysvt.com.
abriel Cole, 39, is a regular guy who happens to be able to expertly transform hot, liquid glass into goblets, vases and bowls. The brand name for his wares is, sensibly enough, Gabriel Glass. But when he raises the blowpipe to his lips like a silent trumpet, it’s hard not to think of the biblical Gabriel. When held up to the heavens, his colorfully stemmed wine glasses and swirled pedestal bowls coruscate as brilliantly as any respectable angel’s nimbus. Cole describes glassblowing as “magical,� but there’s a simple explanation for the sparkle, he says. He uses highquality glass “batch� — a white, powdery
Three days a week, Cole blows glass with the help of Jeff Dauphin. The skilled assistant serves him “gathers� of the viscous substance on the end of a blowpipe or punty, a long metal pole with a solid tip. “You wind it on like honey,� Cole says as he demonstrates, dipping the punty into the leftover glass at the bottom of the crucible: It’s Friday, his wind-down day. When he pulls the pole out, it has a glowing orange bulb on the end. He lays the instrument across two parallel flat bars and shapes the glass while rolling the pole back and forth. Between shapings, pieces are reheated in the glory hole — the actual name for an adjacent cylinder-shaped oven that gets even hotter than the furnace. A few key tools come into play: a cloth-like edge shaper made from folded layers of wet newspaper, which Cole calls “a bit of magic�; a pineapple mold that punctures the bulb with evenly spaced bubbles. But mostly it’s his dexterous hand and an eye for symmetry that matter. Cole credits Dauphin with much of the work’s high quality. In order to make a pedestal stem, for example, the assistant

has to drop five gathers from above — for the collar, the ball, another collar that Cole works into a motif of successive waves, the foot ball and the foot. Finished pieces cool for eight hours in an annealing oven, a critical process he says cheaper outfits often cut short. A Vermonter who grew up not far from where he now lives, Cole got his training at Simon Pearce in Queechee, where he made wine glasses every day for 10 years, he says. But he already had a leg up when he started: He’s a second-generation glassblower. His father, Chet Cole, 69, of Marshfield, still makes glass plates with his wife Viiu Niiler under the name Country Glass. “When I did start learning [at 18], it came very quickly because I’d always seen it,� the younger Cole says. “But it takes years to learn how to do anything well, even just how to get a gather.� When he opened his own shop in 2000, Cole chose to free-blow his pieces — a skill he had honed while renting space at Church and Maple Glass Studio in Burlington. Everything at Simon Pearce is mold-blown and thus identical in shape, he explains; a set of Gabriel Glass wine glasses are minutely different. The first wine glass he ever made is still kept in the kitchen cupboard. “This is my commute,� Cole jokes, leading the way down the driveway to the house. After taking out the family’s stemware one at a time — all his own seconds — he finds the stubby, egg-cup-sized memento. His two children still love to use it, he says.
More recent pieces, heavy and elegant, sit on side tables and in living-room nooks, despite the 6- and 11-year-old inhabitants. “I recommend it,� he declares. “Art should be used. I want to bridge the gap between art and craft,� Cole adds. “I say the best way to enjoy art is to incorporate it into your life.� > Gabriel Cole will have a table at the Taste of Stowe Arts Festival, July 25-27, and the Southern Vermont Art and Craft Festival at Hildene in Manchester, August 1-3. He also sells at the Montpelier and Norwich farmers’ markets when not attending a festival, and his work can be viewed and purchased online at www.gabrielglass.com.

theborowitzreport Obama Releases List of Approved Jokes About Himself Bid to Help Late Night Comics
S
aying he is “sympathetic to late night comedians’ struggle to find jokes to make about me,” Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) today issued a list of official campaign-approved Barack Obama jokes. The five jokes, which Sen. Obama said he is making available to all comedians free of charge, are as follows: Barack Obama and a kangaroo pull up to a gas station. The gas station attendant takes one look at the kangaroo and says, “You know, we don’t get many kangaroos here.” Barack Obama replies, “At these prices, I’m not surprised. That’s why we need to reduce our dependence on foreign oil.” A traveling salesman knocks on the door of a farmhouse, and much to his surprise, Barack Obama answers the door. The salesman says, “I was expecting the farmer’s daughter.” Barack Obama replies, “She’s not here. The farm was foreclosed on because of subprime loans that are making a mockery of the American Dream.” A horse walks into a bar. The bartender says, “Why the long face?” Barack Obama replies, “His jockey just lost his health insurance, which should be the right of all Americans.”
Q: What’s black and white and red all over? A: The Barack Obama issue of The New Yorker magazine, which should be embarrassed after publishing such a tasteless and offensive cover, which I reject and denounce.
She’s not here. The farm was foreclosed on because of subprime loans that are making a mockery of the American Dream.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Anna Renalda
little recreational cruise. When they got there, the boatman stopped and refused to move, let alone row him back to shore, unless Jeff forked over a surcharge. Don’t let something like that happen to you in the coming week, Cancerian. Always have a well-planned arrangement, agreed on in advance, to come back from wherever you’re brave enough to go. Be experimental, yes. Explore new territory, yes. Be willing to surrender some control, yes. But make sure you’ve got a return ticket.
Hyatt, a reader from Colorado, bragged to me about her prowess. “My capacity for expressing love far surpasses that of anyone I have ever met,� she wrote. “I am a Sublime Genius of Love, a Master of Unconditional Compassion, a Virtuoso of Deep Empathy.� Your assignment in the coming days, Aries, is to compete with her: Unleash a perfect storm of ingenious passion that will ignite subtle revolutions everywhere you go. Explore the frontiers of smart love.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “Everybody experi-
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Your teeth
aren’t white enough. Your laugh sounds weird. Something’s amiss with the way you solve problems; I’m not sure what, I just know you’ve got a disability there. And as for your hair: Could you please change it so it doesn’t make you appear so out of touch with reality? OK, now relax. Everything I just said was a bad joke — it wasn’t true at all. I wanted to show you how susceptible you are to believing the lie that you should be different from what you actually are. The fact is, Taurus, this is an excellent time for you to practice feeling a total acceptance of and curious fascination with yourself. Try saying this out loud: “I am perfectly myself.�
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): At the end
of a recent school year, only 37 percent of New York’s high school students passed the state-administered math exam. Instead of withholding diplomas from the other 63 percent, officials nullified the results and eased the standards for future tests. Normally I’m queasy about lowering the criteria for success, but in this case I approve. Math is absurdly overvalued as an educational necessity. There are many other subjects that should get more emphasis in the high school curriculum. Teach logic, not algebra! Teach critical thinking, not trigonometry! My rant is a prelude to the climax of your horoscope, which is this: Stop pushing so hard to accomplish a task that’s really not all that important in the long run.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): During a trip to India, my friend Jeff paid a boatman to row him out into the Ganges River for a
ences far more than he understands,� said philosopher Marshall McLuhan. “Yet it is experience, rather than understanding, that influences behavior.� This is always true, but it will have special meaning for you in the coming days. You’re about to be inundated by a flood of raw perceptions, sensations, and feelings, and only a fraction of it will be namable, let alone comprehensible. That shouldn’t be a problem, though. Your job is simply to marvel at all the novelty that’s flowing in, not to be in an anxious hurry to define it.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Your life story
is about to deepen and sweeten and get more interesting — if, that is, you follow the trail of clues into the dark forest, and if, as you travel, you hum songs that are both sad and happy, and if you call on the spirit of your favorite dead person to accompany you. Of course, you’re perfectly free to refuse the call of your destiny, and never even take a glance into the dark forest. But in my opinion, that would cheat you out of some profound fun that has the potential to teach you and tune you for many years to come.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): I came across a website called “The Common Man’s Book of World Records.� It lists triumphs that have been ignored by the more famous Guinness Book. It tells us that Basel Nevins licked an asphalt road for 77 minutes straight, establishing an unsurpassed benchmark. Melissa Lassitter set the world record for number of hoagies crammed into a bra, with eight; Glen Schlacknik did an astounding 5216 squatthrusts on an escalator in one session; and Charles Zenk threw a mailbox 33 feet. In the
coming week, I invite you to be inspired by these unsung masters, Libra. According to my reading of the omens, you’re primed to achieve peaks of accomplishment that few others have even attempted.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): According to
Jewish legend, there are in each generation 36 righteous humans who prevent the rest of us from being destroyed. Through their extraordinary good deeds and their love of the divine spark, they save the world over and over again. They’re not famous saints, though. They go about their business anonymously, and no one knows how crucial they are to our well-being. Might you be one of the 36? I bet you’ll be acting like one of them in the coming week. Your capacity for disseminating blessings will be astounding. The ripples of benevolence you initiate could ultimately go around the planet and return to you.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): In his book The Medusa and the Snail, science writer Lewis Thomas said that the English word “error� developed from a root meaning “to wander about, looking for something.� That’s why he liked Darwin’s idea that error is the driving force in evolution. I think this wandering-about-looking-for-something approach should be the driving force in your personal evolution, Sagittarius. The coming weeks will be a great time to meander and get distracted and stumble upon unexpected opportunities. May all your mutations have a positive spin! (P.S. Lewis also wrote this: “The capacity to blunder slightly is the real marvel of DNA. Without this special attribute, we would still be anaerobic bacteria and there would be no music.�)
dream boat. The proper use of the hammer will be a constant test, since you’ll have to be ever-alert and adaptable as you decide whether to employ it for destruction or creation.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “Why,
I don’t even respect myself, I tell ya,� said comedian Rodney Dangerfield. “When I make love, I have to fantasize that I am somebody else!� Your assignment, Aquarius, is to experiment with just the second half of that formulation. In other words, while you’re making love, fantasize that you’re somebody else. But do it because you care deeply about yourself — so deeply that you want to transcend your customary reactions and expand your identity. Do it because you dare to awaken to previously unknown possibilities of who you might be. By the way, this exercise will yield even better results if you not only play with experimental self-images when you’re doing the wild thing, but all the rest of the time as well.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): In her book
Zen Miracles, Brenda Shoshanna defines the “shadow� as being the unacceptable aspects of ourselves that we dump into our unconscious minds. As we avoid looking at that hidden stuff, it festers. Meanwhile, we project it onto people we know, imagining that they possess the qualities we’re repressing. The antidote to this problem, says Shoshanna, is to “eat our shadow� — haul it up from out of the pit and develop a conscious connection with it. Doing so not only prevents our unacknowledged darkness from haunting our thoughts and distorting our relationships; it also liberates tremendous psychic energy. I’m telling you this, Pisces, because it’s an excellent time to eat your shadow.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): I predict you will have 32 dreams as you sleep in the coming week. In at least five of those adventures, you will be offered a chance to wield a magic hammer like the one that belonged to the Norse god Thor. You’re under no obligation to use it, of course. But if you do, it could help you smite dream adversaries, from stupid giants to evil ducks to rash-covered devils. You could also take advantage of it to build things, like a dream house or a

movie reviews The Edge of Heaven HHHH
A ON EDGE A young woman on the run from Turkish authorities falls for an arresting German student in the new film from Fatih Akin.
t this juncture, if you’re going to fashion a movie out of interwoven narrative strands à la Crash or Babel, it’s a good idea to make sure there’s something truly new and distinctive about your subject matter — because the device itself is getting old. Fortunately, director Fatih Akin has that covered. His new film The Edge of Heaven may be a blizzard of coincidence, but it is a blizzard of coincidence that explores the state of German-Turkish relations. I don’t know about you, but I haven’t been there or done that in a lifetime of movie-going. The first of our interlocking lives belongs to an elderly Turkish gentlemen (Tuncel Kurtiz), who has

settled in the northern German city of Bremen. His name is Ali, and, as the movie begins, he is walking from window to window in the town’s red light district. The second story strand starts with the woman (Nursel Kose) at whose window he stops. She is a middle-aged prostitute named Yeter, also Turkish. After the two complete their transaction, Ali offers a different sort of business proposition: He’ll pay her to move in with him. Though Yeter agrees, we have a sneaking suspicion the two are not destined to live happily ever after. The film is divided into three chapters, and the title of this one is “Yeter’s Death.” Before she exits, we learn that Yeter has a daughter in Turkey with whom she’s lost touch. We also meet Ali’s son, Nejat (Baki Davrak), who teaches at a German university. After his father is jailed for his role in the prostitute’s accidental demise, the young man travels to Istanbul in the hope of finding her long-lost daughter and making amends. A cousin with whom he stays has a great line: “Sure, in a city of 20 million people, you’re bound to run into her.” In a movie like this, the fact is that you are; you just won’t realize it when it happens. Nejat and the young woman (Nurgul Yesilcay), whose name is Ayten, cross paths more than once, even though she’s a militant who’s wanted by Turkish authorities and flees to Germany to seek asylum. Just when you think Akin’s script couldn’t possibly accommodate another plot development, Ayten befriends Lotte, a sad-eyed college student, and falls head over heels into a passionate love affair with her. Unfortunately for them — the title of this chapter? “Lotte’s Death.” Following which, Lotte’s mother travels to Istanbul to find closure in the place where her daughter spent

her final moments on earth. Her name is Susanne, and she is played by Hanna Schygulla, the German actress famous for the films she made in the ’70s with Rainer Werner Fassbinder. Her performance gives the picture its emotional center: It’s a moving and mesmerizing piece of work. Did I mention that by this point Ayten is doing time in a Turkish women’s prison? Because Lotte was murdered while running a dangerous errand at her request, she is both devastated and wracked with guilt. When she’s informed she has a visitor, the last person she expects to see is this grieving woman. And when Ayten begs for forgiveness, the last thing she expects is for Susanne to extend it — but the older woman does, along with her friendship. While Akin’s latest offers further coincidences, near misses and crossed paths, I’m not sure there’s anything that better suggests the spirit of the film than that moment of grace. Born in Germany to Turkish parents in 1973, the writer-director has the dance between these cultures down cold. It’s clear he possesses deep insight into and empathy for both. He’s not trying to make any sort of grand statement with his film, but simply to offer a snapshot of life as it is lived today by two different peoples. In the process, he shows us the ways they intersect, the ways they never can, and how the worlds both know are vanishing, even as they flee to them seeking safe haven. It’s a quietly powerful picture, rescued from gimmickry by fine writing, restrained direction and a cast capable of bringing to life characters you’ll not only care about, but find yourself thinking about long after the closing credits have rolled. RICK KISONAK
Mamma Mia! HH
A
DISCO INFERNAL Phyllida Lloyd’s adaptation of her stage musical offers nonstop pop hooks, flashing lights and capering Boomers.
lot of people — OK, a lot of women — have a great reason to see Mamma Mia! How many films give actresses in their late fifties the opportunity to wear glitter platforms and dance around madly to ABBA songs? Even in musicals, such silliness is usually the prerogative of the young and nubile. But in this movie, based on the hit stage show, the ingenue and her friends actually do less giggling, squealing, gossiping, vamping and disco-ing than do the distinguished thespians playing her mother (Meryl Streep) and Mom’s two long-time pals. The show’s book, by Catherine Johnson — who also adapted it to the screen — has just enough content to give the actors pretexts to break into 21 sugar-high hits by the Swedish pop group. Free spirit and former disco diva Donna (Streep) has one of those jobs only fictional characters seem to have, running a sleepy inn on a breathtakingly gorgeous Greek isle. Her pretty daughter Sophie (Amanda Seyfried) is about to marry a pretty boy. The only trouble in paradise is that the bride wants her dad to walk her down the aisle. Summers on Greek isles in Donna’s youth being what they were, Sophie really needs the services of a DNA lab. Undeterred, she writes to the three most likely baby-daddy candidates (Pierce Brosnan, Colin Firth and Stellan Skarsgård) and invites them to her nuptials. Still smitten with Streep after all these years, the trio shows up, driving their surprised hostess into a post-menopausal erotic tizzy. Her cronies and former bandmates (Julie Walters and Christine Baranski) encourage her to reclaim her identity as a Dancing
Queen, but she isn’t sure this is the time. That’s about as complex as the movie gets: Last summer’s Hairspray, with its kinky dose of John Waters’ humor, is Stephen Sondheim by comparison. Where other recent “jukebox” musicals such as Moulin Rouge and Across the Universe reinterpret familiar songs, Mamma Mia! simply reprises them, adding corny production numbers whose recurring motifs are frolicking Greek peasants and choruses that pop their heads over roofs or banisters to counterpoint whatever the soloist is emoting. In the Australian black comedy Muriel’s Wedding, ABBA songs were used in a way that made their guilty pleasures surprisingly poignant. Here, the script doesn’t offer any grit to contrast with the candy-floss numbers. Though some are fun, only one — Streep throwing herself the ultimate pity party with “The Winner Takes It All” — is truly memorable. Mamma Mia! offers the limited pleasures of watching fine, mature actors behave like the teeny-boppers
in High School Musical. The weird thing is, they don’t seem to mind. The scene where Pierce Brosnan belts out “SOS” has camp classic written all over it, because the former James Bond gives it his all, rusty pipes be damned. Though Firth seems a little embarrassed, the other actors attack their roles and songs with the same conviction. That includes Streep — though, luckily, she can sing. She’s broad, rollicking and uninhibited here as a lusty dame, as are musical theater veterans Walters (Educating Rita) and Baranski, who co-starred in “Cybill,” American TV’s ripoff of the U.K. sitcom “Absolutely Fabulous.” That’s worth noting not just because Baranski plays essentially the same rich-bitch character here, but because “Ab Fab” was the first and best comedy to celebrate the phenomenon of women of a certain age behaving badly. Jennifer Saunders’ show redeemed its campiness with hyper-articulate, rapid-fire dialogue that puts “Sex and the City” scripts to shame. Mamma Mia! seems to be striving for the same level of antic naughtiness, but lines such as “Why Donna Sheridan, you shady lady!” just don’t bring it. As a result, the performer who comes out of this mess looking the best is saucer-eyed Seyfried, who’s maniacally cute in her Sweet Young Thing role. The other actors evoke a few too many memories of wasted wedding guests singing along to ABBA tunes, which is more fun when you share their sauced condition. Young at heart is one thing. Dumb at heart is another. MARGOT HARRISON

Hot Shots Foodie photo contest
W
hen Seven Days staffers sat down to establish rules for our first-ever “Hot Shots” contest, we struggled to define “food photography.” Is it sensuous still-lifes of plated meals in fancy restaurants, shots of grape clusters dangling on the vine, or pictures of people caught in flagrante delicious? Ultimately we decided to let our artistically inclined readers decide for themselves. The pictures we received showed just how diverse the interpretations can be: From a black-and-white portrait of an elderly man eating ice cream in a diner to a trio of carrot compositions, the entries were colorful, interesting and fun to view. After narrowing the field to 10, we posted the finalists on the web and asked members of the public to pick their faves. The top three “hot shots” are reprinted here. The contest was open only to members of the 7 Nights “Bite Club.” What is Bite Club? It’s a group of folks who have registered to use our online “dining guide,” thus rendering themselves eligible for all sorts of sweet events, contests and promotions. Bite Club members have won tickets to culinary-themed events, been invited to free “taste tests” at area restaurants as different as Michael’s on the Hill and Nectar’s, and were the first to find out about our pub quiz event at the Rusty Nail in Stowe. We’re always working on new ways to reward members with tasty treats and foodie fun. Head to 7nvt.com to sign up today! And, yes, the first rule of Bite Club is: You do talk about Bite Club! > 2ND PLACE: “SPIRACLE,” KIMBERLEY TAYLOR

ew York City eaters are experiencing a whole new form of sticker shock. The city now mandates that chains with 15 or more locations nationwide list calorie counts right on their menus. In a July 16 article on MSNBC.com, author Roni Caryn Rabin told of a woman who lamented the new rule during a visit to T.G.I. Friday’s: “‘I’m so upset,’ she said, noting some entrées — like the Jack Daniels ribs and shrimp dinner — contain almost 2000 calories, and the desserts were more of the
Church Street, Lake Champlain and the ECHO Center — Boloco is part of a chain that is posting detailed calorie counts online. Its website is home to the “Nutrition Builder,” one of the niftiest sources of such info I’ve ever encountered. Just click on the ingredients that you stuffed into your burrito and watch as the site calculates the damage. On a whim, I virtually blended buffalo sauce, Caesar dressing, hummus and seasoned croutons: The concoction would contain 468.38 calories and satisfy a whopping 153 percent of your daily iron needs. More to the point, a large Buffalo chicken burrito weighs
— enough for two days. Luckily, most of it was delicious. Each wrap boasted its own bold flavors, from the sweet ’n’ spicy Bangkok with seasoned baked tofu, to the cooling Mediterranean with lime rice, feta, cukes and olives. Boloco offers ample opportunity for customization, a key to pleasing picky eaters: Any combo of fillings can be served up with tofu, chicken, steak or carnitas (pork braised with a rich blend of spices until tender). Or you can DIY. My favorite invention of the week was a heady, heavy mix of steak, black beans, corn salsa, guacamole and cheese in a white flour tortilla. It was gooey and great.
It’s true that the place was hopping, but with eight young, organic-cotton-clad staffers taking orders, tending chicken breasts on the sizzling grill, and swaddling fillings in wraps and foil, I expected the middles to be hotter. same (the brownie obsession is 1500 calories). ‘I wish they wouldn’t have done this.’” Ignorance is bliss, with a side dish of heart disease. Here in Burlington, most chefs aren’t about to advertise the calorie content of their creations. Boloco, Burlington’s hip new burrito place, has found a “middle way.” Although the info isn’t plastered on the long, skinny joint’s walls — which offer Technicolor renditions of nearby landmarks such as
in at 1062.28 calories, while a lighter chicken Caesar wrap has about half as many. Who cares? I do. To write this review, I downed a couple of normal-sized burritos plus bites of six others, part of two salads, one meat-and-cheese “snack,” six smoothie samples and an order of chips and salsa. (A partial chocolate-chip cookie was in the mix, too.) In total, over two meals, I consumed about 3842 calories’ worth of food
In the past, I’ve griped about the blandness of starches wrapped in other starches — tortillas and rice, which dilute the flavors of other ingredients, don’t do much for each other. But Boloco’s white rice stood out with a zingy hint of lime. Two small complaints: Some of the burritos were built with all the beans banking on one side and the meat on the other, making for uneven bites. Also, >> 06B

Where there are students and a thriving night life, there will be burritos. In the Burlington area, we don’t lack for Mexican-flavored joints that roll up their main offerings with spicy salsas in a flour tortilla. The senior member of the group, New World Tortilla, has a location in Essex along with two in the Queen City, one of them inside UVM’s Dudley H. Davis Center. Which makes sense, because Groovy UV is the fraternal owners’ alma mater. Back in the ’90s, New World’s Thai chicken and Vera Cruz burritos satisfied hungry students from a campus food cart. Last year, a biz by the name of Bueno Y Sano gave a tasteful face-lift to the old Auggie’s Island Grill location. BYS specializes in DIY, with shrimp, lots of fresh veggies and seitan on the menu, making it perfect for the health-conscious consumer. The salads and quesadillas are worth the trip, too. And now there’s Boston-based Boloco, a chain with a “green” bent. The Church Street biz trumpets its eco-friendly policies and folds up its tofu and humanely raised, antibiotic- and hormone-free meats in eight flavorful ways. Or you can invent your own. They corner the market on smoothies, too. How about a side-by-side comparison?

many of them were lukewarm on arrival. It’s true that the place was hopping, but with eight young, organic-cotton-clad staffers taking orders, tending chicken breasts on the sizzling grill, and swaddling fillings in wraps and foil, I expected the middles to be hotter. One of my faves was smoking when I picked it up: a carnitasand-cheese “snack.” At Boloco, a snack is defined as something like a scaled-down burrito — or rolled-up quesadilla, perhaps — filled with proteins and fats, but no rice or veggies. The options include any of the three meats with cheese, plain old cheese, and a couple of curveballs: PB&J and Nutella. I opted for the pork, guessing the “snack” would give me full enjoyment of the meaty flavors. And I was correct: In the absence of other filling, the shreds of pork really shone, making this one savory treat. It was even better dipped in a side of guacamole. At many restaurants, the guac is loaded up with lemon or lime to help it maintain a pretty green color — the vitamin C prevents unsightly brown oxidation, but the unfortunate side effect is a pucker-inducing product. At Boloco, this wasn’t the case: the green stuff had a silky smooth base with a few surviving chunks of avocado, as well as tiny tomato bits. It may have lacked garlicky bite, but it was perfectly serviceable slathered on
a burrito or a corn chip. Boloco’s salsa, which you can get on the side in generous portions, is a fresh concoction of what appear to be dense Roma tomatoes, onions and cilantro shreds. Eaten with chips, it had a slow heat that increased in intensity with the first few bites, but leveled out before it became uncomfortable. The ingredients in the chicken Caesar salad didn’t go so well together. I ordered one to go: A mere half-hour later, the croutons had gone spongy and gross. The dressing was oily and sweet rather than tangy with lemon and garlic. To add insult to injury, the nutty Parmesan had been swapped out for salty feta. Bad choice. The Chinese chicken salad tasted better, though it had no apparent kinship with Chinese cuisine. As in the Caesar, the chicken bits came on a bed of Romaine. On top went slivered almonds, crunchy noodles, scallions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds. Though too heavy on the oil, the sesame and soy dressing was a hit. But the serving size was twice as big as needed. Thirsty? To balance all the savory meats and starch, Boloco serves up fruity smoothies in 10 flavors. I particularly enjoyed a purplish Berry Blitz, made from apple juice, blueberries, bananas and raspberry sorbet that left me with a post-lunch sugar rush. It was more complex than
the sweet and tropical Mango Passion. A “Milkshake,” devised by a friend and made to order, was like a banana split in a glass, combining bananas, strawberries and chocolate with skim milk and non-fat fro-yo. Sadly, the vanillin-scented slurry wasn’t decadent enough to be worth the calories it contained. (Yep, I know exactly how many.) The much healthier soy smoothie, by contrast, tasted too strongly of its non-dairy origins to be a delight, despite hearty doses of calcium, fiber and vitamin C. At least we know those things are good for us. Fans of “nutriceuticals” can get their smoothies blended with a few mysterious “enhancers,” such as “brain builder” and “vitality,” for a mere 32 cents each. Asked what’s in the “fat burner,” a staffer replied, “It’s a powder.” Well, that clears things up! Whatever is in that powder, I’m holding it responsible for my post-prandial insomnia. Calls made to corporate headquarters re: the ingredients were not returned. Boloco may be a chain, but it’s a chain with flavor. The calorie counts may unnerve those who aren’t used to seeing them, but at least they don’t confront customers on the menu. Yet. Meanwhile, some of us are glad to know, for once, exactly what we’re eating. >

The Avett Brothers are a case study in the economy of sound. With scarcely more than acoustic guitar, banjo and bass, the North Carolina trio fills the air with an impossibly rich aural tapestry. Though their most recent album Emotionalism finds the band branching out into wider sonic terrain, the core of their music remains the same: direct, earnest songwriting given life via beautifully simple melodic structures and harmonies. This Tuesday, the boys swing through the Higher Ground ballroom for a show with Vermont’s own songwriting sensation, Kris Gruen.

FOR THE BENEFIT OF MR. KITE

BY DAN BOLLES
there’s a 90 percent chance that Mr. Rabidoux himself will be in attendance. Before we move on, I’d like to take a moment to acknowledge the remarkable efforts put forth by the music community in general during these crises. In each case, reaction has been swift and thorough. It is a testament to the strength of our scene that the tragedies of individuals affect us all. As the saying goes, bad things happen in threes. With any luck, we should be all set on that front for a while. Karma gods, I’m looking in your direction.
Benefit shows have been all the rage over the last few months. On one hand, it’s heartwarming to witness the community rallying behind fallen friends. On the other, doing so means that people we know and love are in a bad way. It’s kind of bittersweet. It started three months ago with the slew of fundraisers for DJs A-Dog and Mike Device, who lost their North Union St. apartments in a MIKEY VAN GULDEN devastating fire. It continued with last Thursday’s jam-packed Turkey Bouillon Speaking of community, it’s time once again Mafia reunion at Nectar’s. That show for the Old North End Ramble. Entering its was a benefit for Higher Ground fifth year, Burlington’s civic-pride answer to doorman Mikey Van Gulden, who the Civil War has become a hotly anticipated was struck by a cab driver while biking annual celebration. While it doesn’t yet home from the club on July 5. The have the cachet of, say, the South End Art effervescent bouncer suffered numerous Hop, the Ramble has earned a special place injuries, including 12 breaks in his right in the hearts of North Enders, who tend to arm, 3 fractures in his jaw — which is be a prideful bunch when it comes to their currently wired shut — and a broken stomping grounds. To paraphrase Naughty wrist. Sadly, I could go on for a while By Nature, if you ain’t ever been to the Old here. But you get the point. North End, don’t ever come to the Old North Word on the street is that Nectar’s End. ’Cause you ain’t understand the Old North was turning folks away at the door by End. 11 p.m. So it’s a safe bet the evening Of course, that’s not true. The O.N.E. is went a ways towards easing Van really a lovely section of town — I live there, Gulden’s considerable financial burden so I know. And the Ramble rules. The all-day — the offending cab driver is reportedly festival is a veritable smorgasbord of art, without insurance. If you missed the music and community spirit. I’ll fill you in on show, you can still help out by donating the tunes right now. But for everything else, at shoutitoutloudmvh.blogspot.com. visit www.theramble.org. Hot on the heels of Mikey Dread’s This Saturday, once the kickoff parade, big night comes yet another benefit North vs. South Field Days and various other bash for a local fixture.

I think those last guys play jazz — wink, wink. The show starts early-ish — doors open at 8 p.m. and I’m told
THE
WHITE OUT It is hard to believe, but Montpelier’s Positive Pie 2 is turning 3 years old this week. The quirky pizza joint has become a Golden Dome staple
and a cornerstone of the city’s thriving music scene. I submit that this is due to one or several of the following reasons: 1. Their pizza is the bomb. 2. They book some really great acts. 3. Their back door is within spitting distance of Charlie O’s back door, which regular readers know is the greatest bar in the world. Hands down. To celebrate, this Friday the DARYL RABIDOUX venue is throwing a “White Party.â€? It’s a concept brilliant in its simplicity and popularized by hip-hop mogul P-Diddy. The gist is this: everybody shows up in sexy white clothing and gets down and dirty. The man is a genius. The grooves will be provided courtesy of sax savant Bryan McNamara’s (Turkey Bouillon Mafia, Soul’s Calling) new hip-hop band, Strength in Numbers. Oh, and while you’re in town and wearing white, swing by the Langdon Street CafĂŠ and check out experimental salsa ensemble Bio Ritmo. Yes, I said experimental salsa.
HOMEWARD BOUND Those who’ve been priced out of this Saturday’s Melissa Etheridge concert at Shelburne Museum ($58 — really? Guess the price of activism has gone up with fuel) might want to swing by Nectar’s and catch an early set from Raleigh, N.C., singer-songwriter Chris Titchner. No, Titchner doesn’t sound anything like the Grammy-winning tunesmith — the Etheridge reference was just an excuse for me to bitch about ticket prices. He is, however, a talented performer. And, since he was born and raised in Shelburne, he’s got Vermont roots. I’ve actually known the guy since high school. Back in the day, I used to marvel at his silken voice and impossible range. He’s come a long way since writing sugary teenage love songs, and has built a solid reputation in the Raleigh-Durham area by writing, well, more sugary love songs. But they’re the grown-up variety, I promise. If you miss Titchner at Nectar’s, you can catch him Sunday at The Bee’s Knees in Morrisville. >
The perfect match.

SOUL POWER :: If your band repeatedly draws comparisons to the likes of Curtis Mayfield, The Jackson 5 and Stevie Wonder — and by tired music-scribe extension, Jamiroquai — you can be relatively sure that you are doing something right. However, you might also be burdened by unreasonably high expectations. But if that weight bothers The
Greg Mayo Band, they aren’t letting on. Rather, they embrace the standards
implicit in those connections. Rooted in soul but well-schooled in jazz, the septet delivers a high-octane live show grounded in a deep reverence for the legends who came before them. Catch them Wednesday, July 30, at Red Square.

ROOTS OF CREATION, LIVE VOLUME #1
VETIVER, THING OF THE PAST (Gnomonsong, CD & LP)
(Harmonized Records, CD) This just in: The spirit of late, great reggae-rock outfit Sublime is alive and well. That’s not really breaking news to anyone who’s ever walked through Burlington’s college ghetto on a warm spring afternoon. Even some 12 years after lead singer Brad Nowell’s fatal heroin overdose, the strains of “40 Oz. to Freedom” and “Smoke Two Joints” serve as the soundtrack to many a backyard beer bash. Perhaps that band’s narcotic timelessness helps to explain the popularity of Boston’s Roots of Creation. The quartet takes its name from a relatively little-known Sublime tune, but the hero worship doesn’t end there. With their new live album, Live Volume #1 — the bulk of which was recorded at Nectar’s — the band submits Exhibit A as to how they have built a strong regional following amongst the beer ’n’ bong set: jammy reggae-rock owing far more to “Santeria” than “No Woman No Cry.” The Sublime comparison may not be fair, but it’s unavoidable, especially given lead vocalist, guitarist and primary songwriter Brett Wilson’s propensity to flat-out ape Nowell. It’s hard to believe the mimicry is unintentional. From the album’s opening salvo, “Oh Lord,” Wilson doesn’t merely acknowledge his primary influence; he attempts to resurrect him. The trend continues throughout. Wilson treads on familiar ground in his writing: “Music sets me free,” “music is my soul,” and so on. It’s all subject matter addressed at length by the late Sublime front man. The difference is that Nowell simply did it better and with greater authenticity. Musically, the group is tight. Instrumental performances are solid across the board, especially for a live recording. And when not playing the pseudo-tribute act, ROC manage to pull of some nifty sonic shenanigans. Their arrangements are fully realized and executed. It’s perfectly clear why Roots of Creation are popular in jam circles. They have a strong grasp of structure and a knack for bringing back the hook just at the apex of anticipation. The heady electronica forays are a nice touch, too. But as goes Wilson, so goes ROC. For every standout track like “Rise Up” or “Giraffe,” there’s a clunker like the painful cover of the Elvis Costello classic, “Watching the Detectives.” Here, Wilson’s affectations devolve from stylistic choice into off-key caterwauling. Taking liberties with melody is one thing. Taking liberties with pitch is another entirely. Roots of Creation return to Nectar’s this Friday.
DAN BOLLES
If you didn’t know better — which at first, I didn’t — it would be easy to mistake San Francisco folk quartet Vetiver’s latest album Thing of the Past as just that: a long-lost relic. In a sense, that’s exactly what the album is. Comprising oft-overlooked songs written by largely overlooked songwriters, the band’s third offering is something of an ode to bandleader Andy Cabic’s formative influences. That’s the easy summary, anyway. More accurately, the album is a living, breathing link to a bygone era of popular songwriting. Tunes from an array of artists both noted (Townes Van Zandt, Loudon Wainright III) and obscure (Dia Joyce) populate the record; it is available, and recommended, on vinyl — the audiophiles among us will likely feel cheated listening via digital means. These are the songs that made a songwriter. Or, as Cabic puts it, his “fully realized mixtape to the world.” Depending on your predilection towards psychedelic folk-rock, the record may recall Fairport Convention or any number of Gram Parsons projects — particularly The International Submarine Band. Younger ears may relate it more to Being There-era Wilco. Personally, I can’t help but think of alt-country supergroup Golden Smog. Vetiver recently toured with Jayhawks co-frontman Gary Louris, so there you go. Regardless of generation, anyone with an appreciation for song craft will find the timeless quality of this disc appealing. With tasteful reverence and tact, Cabic and co. not only do justice to the source material, they shine a spotlight on it. The performances here are pitch-perfect from start to finish. From “Houses” by ’60s psych-pop innovator Elyse Weinberg, to Norman Greenbaum’s “Hook & Ladder” (he’s the one-hit wonder behind “Spirit in the Sky”), to “Hurry on Sundown” from seminal British space-rockers Hawkwind, Vetiver seem to approach each tune with quiet awe. Their interpretations never offer any more or less than necessary, essentially allowing the songs to be themselves. Thing of the Past is the ultimate homage. Catch Vetiver this Sunday at Club Metronome with local folks Cannon Fodder and Greg Davis. DAN BOLLES

Baroque Is Back Craftsbury Chamber Players, University of Vermont Recital Hall, Wednesday, July 16, 8 p.m. BY ELISABETH CREAN
T
he Baroque period is classical music’s gateway drug: Dance-like rhythms, sweet harmonies and lilting melodies make it easy to get hooked. New addicts often don’t know that underpinning every toe-tapping trumpet run or virtuosic violin dash is the continuo, usually a harpsichord and cello. This foundation provides rhythmic and harmonic drive — the hallmark of Baroque’s infectious perpetual motion — and allows the other instruments to shine. The continuo was the secret star in the first concert of the Craftsbury Chamber Players’ summer season, last Wednesday at the University of Vermont Recital Hall. Two twists to the common configuration made for an unusually rich ribbon of sound. A double bass, played with great glee by Domenick Fiore, enhanced the lower octaves. And the reed organ, serving as keyboard and expertly handled by John Weaver, resonated with much more warmth than the charming but somewhat thin tone of a harpsichord. Cellist Frances Rowell’s firm, flowing hand rounded out the talented continuo trio. Seven pieces made up the evening’s menu, covering early and late Baroque styles from across Europe. The lineup
of musicians reset for each piece. Three numbers featured seven performers, while the remaining selections called for more intimate ensembles. Both the opening and closing numbers spotlighted the heraldic flair of the piccolo trumpet, played with confidence and precision by Dominic Derasse. This instrument, commonly used in Baroque repertoire, is smaller and pitched higher than the standard trumpet. Derasse’s nuanced performance revealed how the piccolo trumpet’s more refined brightness is less, well, brassy than its bigger brother. In the opener — Czech composer Heinrich von Biber’s Sonata IV in C Major — the trumpet line floated above the violas’ pulsing energy and flirted with the violin melody. While Derasse showcased the small trumpet’s vibrancy in the Biber, he brought out its expressive versatility in the finale, Alessandro Marcello’s Concerto in C Minor. The second movement, an adagio, began with mournful minor seconds in the violins. The trumpet’s sad, reflective melody entered gently and then soared over the strings. It felt like a lonely musical call that could have come from a windswept 18th-century heath or a shuttered 20th-century jazz club. Early in the program, Weaver
introduced the audience to the reed organ, which sat at center stage. Not much larger than an upright piano, the beautifully carved portable instrument was built in 1885 by Brattleboro’s Estey Organ Company, which shipped an average of 1100 organs per month that year. It now belongs to the East Craftsbury Presbyterian Church. The reed organ creates a sound similar to an early French pipe organ, according to Weaver, which makes it more appropriate for accompanying Baroque music than is the Recital Hall’s own large, modern pipe organ. In addition, each concert repeats on Thursday nights at the Hardwick Town House, a venue without its own organ, so the portability allows the Players to present the same program. Another cool detail: The reed organ is “entirely green,” Weaver says — it’s powered by two pedals that the organist pumps with his feet. Weaver’s solo — the Chaconne au Passacaille in G Minor, by Louis Couperin — showed off the old instrument’s honeyed tone, remarkably deep and expansive for the organ’s relatively diminutive size. In Georg F. Handel’s Sonata in F Major for Violin and Continuo, the organ contributed to the continuo’s rich caramel sound, a creamy juxtaposition with the flash-
THE CRAFTSBURY CHAMBER PLAYERS ing fast notes of the violin’s dancing melody. Unfortunately, violinist Katherine Winterstein seemed to hit a few less-than-sweet spots on her strings, scratching out occasionally edgy, unpleasant notes. Also nestled in the program’s first half was a small gem that strayed slightly from the Baroque period: Classical composer Wolfgang A. Mozart’s reinterpretation of Johann S. Bach’s Prelude and Fugue in F Major. Violinist Gabriela Diaz, violist Liuh-Wen Ting and cellist Rowell made a perfectly blended trio, with a wonderful sense of balance and interplay. Their individual musical voices swelled and receded as thematic elements tossed among the instruments. They executed the difficult fugue seamlessly and joyfully. Five more concerts, running through mid-August, remain in the CCP summer season. Music director Mary Anthony Cox, who helped found the group 43 years ago, has programmed a delightful mix. The range includes cheeky songs from Elizabethan Henry Purcell and New Yorker Leonard
THE
Bernstein, chamber faves from Mozart and Beethoven, and challenging modern works. Twenty-two musicians, with diverse national and international resumes, appear with the ensemble this season. Free afternoon mini-concerts, “for children and their friends,” precede the evening shows on Wednesdays at 4:30 p.m. in the UVM Recital Hall, and on Thursdays at 2 p.m. at various Northeast Kingdom venues. The ensemble presents an abbreviated version of the evening program, and often invites the children up afterwards to meet the instruments. Occasionally, eager kids drag their parents back for the full concert, Cox says. A handful of youngsters peppered the mostly gray-haired crowd at Wednesday’s Burlington opener. One elementary-school student was overheard talking about taking up the bass. Perhaps she was inspired by Fiore’s gorgeous walnut instrument, so enthusiastically played.

ELEPHANTITIS :: Mythology is filled with many a curious hybrid beast. For example, the Hippogryph (half griffin, half mare) and the Minotaur (half man, half bull). It appears a new creature has recently been born — in a most unlikely place — and is poised to stake its claim in the annals of musical lore. Plattsburgh’s elephantbear (half elephant, half bear, all rock) have quietly built a strong regional following, fueled by the success of their debut album Hide and Go Seek.

je ne sais quoi Dolly Parton, Loretta Lynn and Tammy Wynette have all been crowned countrymusic queens, but Tift Merritt could be the genre’s new cross-over princess. In Merritt’s case, the title means she’s not so much highfalutin as classy: The Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter offers Austin-style authenticity in lieu of Nashville glam, constructing delicate yet driven alt-country melodies with heartfelt, introspective lyrics. She penned her third album, Another Country, in Paris during an extended recuperation from years of touring, and its graceful, flowing songs about lost loves and loneliness manage to be simultaneously uplifting and edgy. SPIN described the disc as “Sweet Southern depression from a French flat — croissants optional.” Butter up your ears: The North Carolina native headlines the third concert in Burlington City Arts’ summer series. Local blues band The Eames Brothers opens. Tift Merritt

scene@ ISLAND ROAD THEATER’S “SLEEPING BEAUTY” AND “THE HAT” COLCHESTER MEETING HOUSE, THURSDAY, JULY 17, 10:30 A.M.
photo: Matthew Thorsen
As a full-time babysitter this summer, I’m always looking for events to shake up the daily routine. This week’s treat came in the form of Island Road Theater’s “Sleeping Beauty” and “The Hat.” The 3-year-old theater group is composed of 14 actors ranging from third- to eighth-graders. Island Road’s performance at the Colchester Meeting House, filled with parents in chairs and children scattered across a rug, was one of seven on a summer tour. The group’s first play was quick and cute: “The Hat,” adapted from a Jan Brett children’s book about a hedgehog whose mistake of wearing laundry soon becomes a trend. But it was the second production, “Sleeping Beauty,” that I liked most. Although a different take on the Disney film I’d remembered (Princess Aurora played football?), for the most part the story was faithful to tradition. You had the evil woman, the spindle, a deep sleep, Prince Charming, the kiss, the awakening (cue the joyful gasp of the little girls sitting in front of me), and happily ever after. All this was followed by an autograph session, much to the delight of the audience. Director Ernie Hemingway, who also adapted these beloved stories into play form, said that her goal with his year’s mostly new cast members was to familiarize them with performing for an audience. By starting with simpler shows such as “The Hat,” she hopes to build confidence in the the young thespians and foster a passion for theater. “I want them to have a feeling of success, and so when they’re older they go with more complicated scripts,” Hemingway said. While impressed parents peppered the director with praise, I turned to my two charges for their take. What did they like most? Caitlin, 4, concluded she “liked all the girls,” while Aidan, 7, focused a bit more on the overall content and execution. “They were both pretty good and funny,” he said. I agreed. So it seemed that everyone — parents, kids and at least one babysitter — were as happy with the outcome as Prince Charming and Sleeping Beauty. MEG MALONE

YOU KNOW WE’LL HAVE A GOOD TIME THEN Contemporary musicians seeking a role model would do well to follow in Harry Chapin’s footsteps. The 1970s singer-songwriter and consummate showman raised millions for arts, educational and social initiatives by alternating “one concert for me, one concert for them.� Most famous for “Cat’s in the Cradle,� his generation-defining ballad about an estranged father and son, Chapin died tragically young, in a 1981 car accident. Six years later, Bruce Springsteen, Pete Seeger, Paul Simon and other luminaries — including Vermont’s Senator Patrick Leahy — congregated at a Carnegie Hall ceremony posthumously awarding Chapin a Congressional Gold Medal for his social activism. Lost Nation Theater offers its own tribute: Lies & Legends, an ensemble musical based on Chapin’s life and work and featuring seven singer-actorinstrumentalists. Show royalties support the native Brooklynite’s anti-hunger foundation. ‘LIES & LEGENDS: THE MUSICAL STORIES OF HARRY CHAPIN’

TEST YOUR METAL Normal barbells are serious business; transform them into 12-inch-diameter logs with 280 pounds of endmounted metal, and you’ve got yourself a heavy scene. But that’s to be expected at the Green Mountain Strongman Challenge, a North American Strongman-sanctioned benefit for the American Lung Association of Vermont. Unlike über-muscular body builders, “strongman” competitors care less about how their bodies look than about what they can do: Heavy lifters in Saturday’s showdown must log multiple reps on the aforementioned timber press, raise parked cars, and manipulate five globe-shaped “atlas stones” in weight increments that increase from 200 to 360 pounds each. Newbies of both sexes can register solo or as part of a four-person team for an on-site firetruck-pull fundraiser. Harnessed contestants who successfully haul the vermilion vehicle 50 feet in 90 seconds may consider taking up a hefty new hobby. GREEN MOUNTAIN STRONGMAN CHALLENGE

I’m looking for the chemistry that allows two people to understand each other and have great conversation. The rest works itself out. Humor is a must. SaraLyn, 30, l, #110526 SKIN: THE ORIGINAL WATERPROOF/ BREATHABLE I love weather: sun, rain, snow, sleet, hail, fog, wind. Hot and sunny? Head for the water. Forty degrees and drizzling?

i Spy... Dear Mistress Maeve, Our son is an intelligent, mature 15-year-old who gets good grades and plenty of accolades. He is also completely gaga over his new girlfriend — actually, he’s been gaga over several girlfriends over the course of the last year. But things are different with this girl, and I suspect she’s more “experienced” than our son. His dad and I are not stupid; we know that kids are having sex younger and younger these days (even we were 16 when we lost our virginity). Recently we’ve discussed whether or not to buy him condoms. We don’t want to encourage him to have sex, but we fear that he might be too shy to buy them himself. What are your thoughts on all this? Parental Units
Dear P-Units, You know your kid better than anyone else. If you suspect he’s on the verge of losing his virginity, he probably is (or already has). We live in an over-sexed culture, and kids want to partake of the latest trends. Tune in to MTV’s “The Real World,” and you’ll see barely legal girls getting totally trashed and seducing their male roommates — and this is on during daytime hours. But that’s the world we live in. Buy him some condoms and tell him they’re for him to try out when he’s alone. If he’s more comfortable with one parent than the other, let that parent take the lead. Tell him to pay attention to how long it takes his penis to shrink after ejaculating, because he doesn’t want the condom slipping off inside his future partner. If he doesn’t completely freak out when he hears you say “ejaculating,” consider going further by reading the directions together. Tell him you’re giving him condoms because you want him to be responsible, not because you want him to run out and have sex. Give him some reasons why you wish you had waited, and encourage him to really think about this big decision. Most importantly, listen to him. Let him know you will always be there to support him and help keep him safe.
Best of luck,
mm

My Pulchritudinous Emily I met you once, one misty morn, the light was low, my heart was torn, and as your soft soliloquy came lilting lapping over me, I saw your bright green trench coat in the rain and my heart melted into a soft, sort of gooey mush, which really isn’t all that pleasant, but which you would appreciate because it was yours. When: Sunday, July 20, 2008. Where: Underhill. You: Woman. Me: Man. #904201 steph I can’t stop thinking about you - your smile, your laugh, your awesome vegan food and associated local-foods politics (nerds!). I haven’t stopped smiling for a few weeks now, and I can’t believe how lucky I am. :-) When: Sunday, July 20, 2008. Where: in a bright yellow kitchen. You: Woman. Me: Woman. #904200 A Genuine Princess It’s hard to believe that a year has passed since we first made love. It went by so quickly. You will always have a stranglehold on my heart. Maybe someday we could make a new start. Until then - be it years or a short while - keep on smiling that beautiful, glossy-lipped smile. I will never stop loving you. When: Monday, July 14, 2008. Where: Ice House. You: Woman. Me: Man. #904198 XL with cream and sugar Amy, you have a beautiful smile. Are you single? I’d love to hang out sometime. Maybe I could make you coffee? When: Monday, July 7, 2008. Where: Dunkin’ Donuts, Shelburne Rd. You: Woman. Me: Man. #904197 A perfectly sized Middlesex hottie! What’s a girl to do? It’s not every day that I meet such a smart, handsome and, for lack of a better term, “perfectly sized” man! I might have followed you all night. My hound has exquisite taste in men! Apologies to the gal already trying to scoop you up. :) When: Friday, July 18, 2008. Where: full-moon Friday. You: Man. Me: Woman. #904196 Joyce, Joyce Vermont Beer Festival. Working check-in, second shift. You exchanged your meal coupon and we never had lunch together. As you said your tears are still there as mine as well, a picnic awaits you. I was roaming security. We walked; you mentioned that your lab heels on the left. I was distracted as you left toward the security gates, never gave you my number. :( When: Saturday, July 19, 2008. Where: volunteer tent, Beer Festival, waterfront. You: Woman. Me: Man. #904195 I am so lucky. I think you check these things, so this is my grand gesture to apologize again for what happened. I might not deserve to be with you still, but I am so grateful that you are giving me another chance. I love you and I am deeply sorry and regretful that I hurt you. When: Sunday, July 20, 2008. Where: hopefully every day for the rest of my life. You: Man. Me: Woman. #904194 Nighttime Shopper You: Price Chopper, Sunday night, 9-ish, at the meat counter. Brown rain jacket, jeans, dark hair and eyes. Me: jeans, black top and pink hat. I think I know you from somewhere. Sailing, perhaps? When: Sunday, July 20, 2008. Where: Price Chopper. You: Man. Me: Woman. #904193 In my dreams The whale and the hummingbird’s communication is far from just a semblance of honesty. It is pure, from lowering their shields. They have no differences; both sing in peace and know no limits to expressing and accepting love. So tell me, how is it we have become less than strangers? I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss you. When: Friday, July 11, 2008. Where: in my dreams. You: Woman. Me: Woman. #904192 Christine in Hinesburg Christine, that had to be you fueling up in Hinesburg. Same body. Same serious face hiding secret thoughts. Long time. I’d love to see you again. -Dan.
