theREALESTATEDEAL STRAIGHT UP WITH...

MARGO TROTIER

My dream vacation would be... a few weeks in Hawaii.

The last book I read was… The Tender Bar.

If I weren’t a Realtor, I would be a… an antique store owner.

If I had a private jet I would… sell it and retire.

My favorite lunch place is... A Single Pebble.

Before I was a Realtor, one of my interesting jobs was... at a daycare.

My most prized possession is... my husband’s plumb-bob collection. Something I would like to do, but haven’t had the chance… is scuba dive in the Keys. The best part about summer is... swimming. If I had $10.99 to spend, I would buy… a bottle of wine.

The first piece of real estate I bought was... a house in Newport, Vermont for $27,000 in 1978. My favorite hobby is… making stained glass. One thing people are surprised to find out about me is... that I have two grown sons.

MARGO TROTIER, CONROY COUTURE REALTY, S. BURLINGTON (802)999-9915, MARGO@CONROYCOUTURE.COM

The song title that most accurately reflects my life is… “Keep on Rockin.”

On a Sunday morning you will most likely find me... relaxing on our boat at camp and then getting ready for an open house.

LESSONS CORRECTED I feel compelled to respond to your article [“Hard Lessons,� July 16] to make sure that certain points are corrected. The following are the reasons your article missed the mark: 1. Mr. Blackhurst’s “FLKs� comment was not taken out of context. I was present when it was said, and it was horrid. “Out of context� really means let me cover my ass. He spun you like he does many things with his round-about talking. 2. The previous schools that Mr. Blackhurst worked at were actually middle schools for primarily dyslexic students. This is where Pine Ridge School is now going, and one can only wonder why. 3. The school did have financial troubles that should have been addressed before I ever started working at Pine Ridge School in the fall of 2006. However, our parents offered close to $1 million for Dana to resign. The problem, therefore, was not truly a problem, but rather a minor setback that could have been fixed in three or four years. 4. Pine Ridge School truly was a place that saved kids. Much like Mr. Blackhurst did, you discredit those who worked at Pine Ridge, some for over a decade. The school took kids who were scared, angry

and diffident, and turned them into capable, proud and self-assured future leaders of tomorrow.

What was the point of writing your article? I feel slighted, as I am sure many others do. Upon serious reflection, I realize your article proves no point and doesn’t actually portray the sad reality that the community at large may never know the evil that lurks and looms at Pine Ridge School. Grant Coscia

article. Resisting tightened rules and standards, as well as difficulty with change, are part of the tasks of adolescents. As a public resource in the community, you should be helping with that transition. Hidden beneath the “one woman disappointed in a change of leadership� and the “he said, she said� hearsay and out-of-context information is a story. Why didn’t you look into the reasons why the school was

so financially beleaguered? Why didn’t you look into the reasons for the massive personal attacks on Dana? Isn’t there a story there? Instead, using very weak journalism, you attempted to add one more attack. Linda Comito MONKTON

MAKE IT WORK I find it hard to believe that two responsible agencies, such as the Intervale and the Vermont

Agency of Natural Resources, cannot settle their differences so that large sources of kitchen waste can continue to send that waste for composting [Fair Game, July 9 & 16]. If that controversy isn’t settled, one of two undesirable results will occur: All that waste is sent to the landfill; or another site is used, involving huge transportation expense. MORE LETTERS >> 21A

BURLINGTON

LOOK AGAIN “Hard Lessons� [July 16] suggests that Pine Ridge School is in peril of being destroyed. To imply the possible destruction of a school in your own community is shouldering a terribly large responsibility. To accuse the leader of that school, a dyslexic, of being “illiterate� is a gross misunderstanding of learning disabilities and truly harmful to public perception of learning differences. Over many years at Pine Ridge, I have collected so many notes of gratefulness from parents. I have also observed the lapse in standards that Dana Blackhurst is determined to overcome. Granted, I still work there, so I may not voice the resentments (mostly anonymous) which are so shrill throughout your

Young had his Facebook account turned off for more than a week because, according to correspondence with Facebook that the candidate shared with Seven Days, he was amassing friends at too fast a clip. I caught up with Young this week via, what else, Facebook, where we corresponded. “They have limits set up to prevent people from making too many friends,” Young wrote. “Apparently my behavior looks like I am a spammer.” Other candidates running for governor have yet to encounter such problems with Facebook. Incumbent Republican Gov. Jim Douglas, Democrat Gaye Symington and Progressive-turned-independent Anthony Pollina are also using Facebook to keep in touch with some supporters. Only Douglas comes close to matching the friends Young has amassed. The others have garnered only a fraction. Here’s the tally as of July 29: Young: 1092, Douglas: 573, Symington: 172, Pollina: 136 A quick note on Pollina’s profile page: As of July 29, he was still listing his political affiliation as “Progressive Party.” Some habits are hard to break.

Vermonter to Vermonter A conversation about what makes our state different, and how we can keep it that way. Our power agreement. We have one of the best power contracts in the country with Vermont Yankee. From 2002 through 2012, the price we all pay for power has been locked in well below the market price — saving Vermonters hundreds of millions of dollars. Our low electricity rates. While you’ve probably noticed the price of everything going up in the past couple years, the price of Vermont Yankee electricity has stayed the same. Vermonters pay some of the lowest electricity rates in New England, thanks to our contract with Vermont Yankee. Renewing that license beyond 2012 will further give Vermont ratepayers an estimated $50 million rebate on the power they buy each year. Our clean air. According to the US Department of Energy, we have the lowest carbon footprint of any state in the US. A major reason for this is Vermont Yankee, which supplies more than a third of our state’s electricity needs, with zero greenhouse gas emissions. Our energy future. Renewable energy sources such as solar and wind will certainly be part of the mix looking ahead. By 2012, Vermont Yankee will have invested $32 million in renewables through the Clean Energy Fund. And with the right energy mix, Vermonters will never be held hostage by the price of oil and natural gas. Vermont Yankee’s license will expire in 2012, so there’s not much time left to protect this vital state asset. Vermont Yankee has been operating for 35 years as a safe, clean and reliable source of power for the communities of Vermont.

OPEN SEASON ON VT POLITICS

The Politics of Tragedy

L

istening to the calls for more investigations, a special session and harsher penalties for sex offenders, one can only feel less enthralled than ever with Vermont’s elected leaders. In the wake of Brooke Bennett’s murder we’ve heard only shallow, calculated platitudes that fall short in the solution category. The proposed “fixes� represent knee-jerk political reactions, rather than any substantive means to address root social problems. It’s so predictable, and so sad. Meanwhile, those who profit from such tragedies — FOX News’ Bill O’Reilly and True North Radio host Paul Beaudry, who aspires to be O’Reilly — perpetuate the stereotype that liberals (Democrats/ Progressives) are crime coddlers, and that conservatives (Republicans) are the true defenders of children. When Gov. Jim Douglas met with House Speaker Gaye Symington and President Pro Tem Peter Shumlim, the governor had to know they wouldn’t support a special session to consider ideas the Vermont legislature rejected two years ago. After rejecting his “offer,� Douglas implied that Symington and Shumlin weren’t interested in protecting Vermont’s kids. That’s leadership? Douglas then lamented the “great deal of talk, finger-pointing and grandstanding� that followed the discovery of Bennett’s

latitude to seek life for first- or secondtime offenders in certain cases. Do we need a special session to accomplish this? No. There’s already been too much political theater and posturing from all sides, and such a session wouldn’t amount to much. Will tougher sentences keep kids like Brooke from being molested by relatives and treated like property? No. I believe there is no cure for child sex-offenders. There are addicts who can get by without victimizing anyone, but that can’t be said of pedophiles. But, if we jail more of these fiends and for longer periods of time, are we willing to release folks serving time for lesser crimes a bit sooner? Or, more to the point, are we willing to pay more to keep more people locked up? As for sex offenders who have been let out on parole, how about hiring more probation and parole officers, since many have caseloads topping 250. Or, cap their caseloads and bring on more of the specially trained officers who oversee sex offenders. A convicted predator like Michael Jacques, if found responsible for the abduction of Bennett (he hasn’t been charged, so far, with her death), should spend the rest of his life in jail. Same goes for Bennett’s ex-stepfather who allegedly tried to cover up the crime, destroy evidence, and purge his own computer of

Douglas implied that Symington and Shumlin weren’t interested in protecting Vermont’s kids. That’s leadership? body in a shallow grave in Randolph County. He should know. Douglas, Lt. Gov. Brian Dubie, Symington and Shumlin are in a league of their own when it comes to grandstanding. Beaudry and his fellow travelers also invoked Symington and Shumlin’s reluctance to sign on immediately to chemical castration and 25-year minimum sentences for child molesters when they rallied the faithful last Saturday in St. Albans. But, given that only 30 people showed up, methinks they may be lacking in the faith part. Like many Vermonters, I’m of two minds on this issue. On the one hand, the “castrate now, ask questions later� argument satisfies a side of me that yearns for justice (even though I understand that’s not really justice). Then there’s the “fix the system� side of me that would like the laws and policies on the books used to put these bastards away for a very, very long time, if not for good. Do I believe child molesters should get tougher punishment? Yes. Perhaps we should allow for greater minimum sentences and even give prosecutors greater

kiddie porn. Society needs to be protected from certain people, and these guys are those people. But, we also need to ask tougher questions of ourselves. It’s easy to blame “the system.� But what is the responsibility of the community and the family in these kinds of cases? Did no one in the community suspect Jacques of resorting to old habits? Did no one in the family? Those are the hard questions. No politician wants to ask them, let alone propose answers. Instead, they finger-point and claim moral high ground. Child victims of sex crimes often suffer alone. And, while we need to empower our kids to speak up for themselves and their friends when they suspect something is wrong, as adults we need to become better listeners. Especially when all we think we hear is silence. Chain Reaction — When it comes to Vermont Yankee, it can make one’s brain hurt keeping the stories straight from week to week.

levels around the plant are higher now that VY is pumping out 20 percent more power. But, according to the Vermont Department of Health, “higher direct gamma radiation” measured at the site is still below the state’s limit. Of course, those limits were adjusted downward this year by 60 percent due to changes in how the state calculates radiation dosages. As it turns out, under the old standards, VY would have exceeded state standards by about 50 percent (more in some areas). Yesterday’s apples are today’s oranges. Speaking of yesterday’s apples, last week “Fair Game” reported that Douglas officials lied when they said they’d asked the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to let a member of a special legislative oversight panel take part in a safety review of Vermont Yankee. It even appeared that the NRC told Douglas and his Department of Public Service in April that it was OK with such a setup; the state just needed to ask. Since then, “Fair Game” has learned the NRC was lying — to the state. It never intended to let any panel member take part in the review, because the agency feared it would interfere with regulators’ work and muddle federal and state jurisdiction. So, did DPS know all along that the NRC was not going to let anyone join the review? That appears to be the case, based on 160 pages of emails provided to “Fair Game” by DPS. In one email, dated July 16, DPS Deputy

Pass the Shovel — Gov. Douglas’ brother-in-law and compost company owner Robert Foster isn’t happy with the way state regulators are treating one colleague. In a recent letter to the Times Argus, the Composting Association of Vermont, which Foster chairs, urged his brother-in-law’s administration to rescind an order that could force the Vermont Compost Company to close down. The CAV said the Natural Resources Board order was “out of step” with talks designed to better regulate Vermont 2x3-Gullivers073008.indd compost operations, and a state law on the books giving composters a reprieve from Act 250 enforce-

NEIL SHEEHAN, NRC

Commissioner Richard Smith told the panel’s chairman Arnie Gundersen that his reading of state law was that the panel did not have the right to access the NRC review. The state’s role is to review “reliability,” the NRC’s role is to review “safety,” Smith said. “Although I understand your desire to participate as an observer of the inspection,” he wrote, “I have to respectfully say it is not something we can facilitate.” Gundersen, along with panel member Peter Bradford, believed the law did give the panel such authority and that it could respect the distinct roles granted to the state and NRC. They asked the DPS to make it happen. During the panel’s July 18 closed-door meeting, state nuclear engineer Uldis Vanags said he had asked the NRC for its OK, and would ask again — even though the state opposed the request. But, he never did. When word got out, Symington and Shumlin charged Douglas and his team of lying to the panel and limiting its work. They also insisted that DPS officials ask the NRC to allow the panel for access. Why wait? “Fair Game” asked NRC spokesman Neil Sheehan if the feds would allow Gundersen access to the review team. “We would not support participation by oversight panel members in our inspections,” Sheehan said. “Again, the state is focusing on reliability while we are concentrating on nuclear safety.” Here’s my take: When the NRC said it was OK with outside consultants in April, it didn’t envision a panel of critics who might ask tough questions. Given Gundersen’s past criticism of VY management and the NRC’s oversight role, it’s no wonder neither the NRC nor DPS wants him anywhere near VY. And DPS spokesman Stephen Wark, in the weeks leading up to the panel’s first meeting, did his part to undermine Gundersen and Bradford — both Democratic appointees — claiming they harbored biases against VY. That said, “Fair Game” owes Wark an apology. Based on an inadvertent email Wark sent to “Fair Game,” it appeared he wanted a copy of a highly critical letter Gundersen had written to Smith for his media talking points. We found it ironic that

ment through 2010. “It seems — and with no intent to be inflammatory — that the NRB is trying to circumvent its own appeal process. If so, why?” the letter asks. Why, indeed. Maybe some people’s shit just doesn’t stink.

Admissions: 800-906-8312 Last month, city officials cut short hearings into Plainfield, Vermont alleged misconduct by Police Chief Steve Low Residency, Self-Designed Studies, McQueen and reinstated the chief to his post. Financial Aid Available Then, last week the city council denied a call by 250 residents to fire City Manager Joshua Handverger, who had leveled the charges against McQueen. The vote was taken in secret, which is illegal, so the council plans a public vote Monday night. 2x3.5-Goddaard073008.indd 1 7/29/08 Mayor Michael O’Brien and city councilor Michael Mahoney voted to end Handverger’s contract early, while councilors Erik Heikel and Jodi Harrington, and Deputy Mayor Kathy Picard voted to keep Handverger on the job. His one-year, $74,000 contract expires September 30. O’Brien, who usually votes only to break a tie, said he hopes to put these issues to rest and move on after Monday. He will, however, vote publicly on Monday to terminate Handverger’s contract. Councilors don’t expect to change their minds, either. The five members and Handverger will hold an August 23 retreat to set new goals and objectives for the manager and brainstorm solutions to the city’s problems. As for Handverger, he sent out notes via the Front Porch Forum last week asking Winooski residents to help think of ways to make the city a better place to live. Maybe there is a calm after the storm. But, in the immortal words of Yogi Berra, “It ain’t over till it’s over.” And, my friends, until they take the vote on Monday, it ain’t over. �

hen Thomas Hermann stepped up to the podium in Barre’s Old Labor Hall last week to announce his candidacy for Vermont’s lone congressional seat, the event didn’t just mark the 29-yearold’s first foray into electoral politics. It was, according to an aide, his first public speech ever. Hermann, an Iraq war veteran running on the Progressive Party ticket, is the only major-party candidate challenging Democratic incumbent Rep. Peter Welch. (Craig Hill of Montpelier will challenge Welch in the Democratic primary.) By any measure, Hermann faces a tough, uphill fight. Not only is the Waitsfield farm worker up against Welch’s sizeable war chest, which totals nearly $1 million, but the Florida native has only been in

in the November general election in California’s 52nd congressional district. The involvement of citizen-soldiers in America’s political process is as old as the Republic itself. But just as the attacks of 9/11 spurred an entire generation of young people to enlist in the military, so, too, have the bloody and controversial wars given rise to a new generation of politicians — as well as political action committees dedicated to getting them elected. “This is the first time in American history that veterans of a conflict have run for office while that conflict is going on and the outcome is in doubt,� notes Kieran Michael Lalor, a Republican candidate for Congress in New York’s 19th congressional district.

While the Democratic Congress sat on its hands, the Bush administration has systematically shredded the Constitution, instituted torture, [and] violated international and U.S. law. THOMAS HERMANN

Vermont since March. “I’m not a politician. I’m not even tested in the political arena,� Hermann told the dozen or so reporters and campaign backers who attended his press conference. “But I come pure and unattached.� Longtime Vermont politicos may be wondering whether Hermann’s aides have briefed him on the correct pronunciation of “Calais� or the number of teats on a Holstein. But despite his greenness to the Green Mountain State, Hermann is hoping that his 16-month deployment in Mosul, Iraq, in 2006 and 2007 will garner him the support of Vermonters who vehemently oppose the war and are frustrated by the Democrats’ slow progress in bringing the troops home. Indeed, Hermann’s candidacy reflects a growing national trend of Iraq war veterans who are exchanging their rifles for campaign buttons. This year, a record number of recent combat veterans from both national political parties have thrown their hats in the ring. In fact, two Iraq war vets will face off

Lalor, 32, is the founder of Iraq Veterans for Congress, a political action committee dedicated to helping candidates get elected to national office. The group, which formed in January, is lending its support to 16 Iraq war veterans nationwide, all of whom are Republicans who support the current mission in Iraq. According to Lalor, the group has already raised $30,000 via its website and a “comparable amount� through the mail, with contributions coming in from all 50 states. More established on the national stage is VoteVets.org. This PAC, which was founded in January 2006 by Iraq war vets Jon Soltz and Jeremy Broussard, has become a regular fixture in the mainstream media for challenging incumbents on issues such as equipment shortages for deployed soldiers and inadequate medical care for returning wounded vets. In 2006, VoteVets ran a number of effective attack ads that helped unseat the Republican incumbents in five states, including

Sens. George Allen of Virginia and Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania. This year, the group has already endorsed 14 congressional candidates, and another half-dozen or so candidates in state races from Maine to California. Unlike Iraq Veterans for Congress, VoteVets.org claims it supports both Democrats and Republicans, though its positions have been strongly critical of the way the Iraq war has been waged. According to the group’s website, its main objective is to “expose the records of the most egregiously incompetent public officials, whether it is the failure of key members of Congress to ask the most urgent and difficult questions on the war or those whose votes have hurt our nation’s veterans.� In Vermont, Hermann says he’s received no support from any national organizations. However, two of his key staffers could help garner him support in antiwar circles. Hermann’s staff includes James Leas of South Burlington and Dan Dewalt of Newfane, who co-wrote the 2007 town meeting resolutions to impeach President Bush, which passed in 37 towns. That same year, they also got antiwar resolutions on the ballot in 24 towns, which called for bringing the troops home immediately. Though Welch doesn’t support the impeachment efforts of some of his constituents, he has amassed a sizeable track record on progressive issues. For instance, Welch voted against funding the war without establishing timetables for U.S. troop withdrawals. He opposed amending the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act to make it easier for the government to spy on U.S. citizens. And, as a member of the House Government Oversight and Reform Committee, Welch shepherded a bill through Congress to crack down on waste, fraud and abuse by defense contractors operating overseas. Still, Hermann has accused Welch of “compromising� his antiwar credentials. “Congress needs a voice that understands the real-world ramifications of their actions,� Hermann said. “While the Democratic Congress sat on its hands, the Bush administration has systematically shredded the Constitution, instituted torture, [and] violated international and U.S. law.� >

ast summer, 13 garbage experts covered a 20-by-10-foot wall with sticky notes. As members of a state-sponsored subcommittee studying “organics,� they were preparing to tell Vermont’s Agency of Natural Resources what should be done with the state’s compostable waste. They had a lot of material to wade through. The subcommittee’s recommendations were rolled into a 92-page ANR study, “Life Beyond Garbage,� that will inform the next phase of Vermont’s solid-waste planning process. The study reports that the amount of waste generated by Vermont businesses, residences and institutions increased by 73 percent from 1987 to 2006, and that the average Vermonter generates nearly twice as much waste as he or she did 20 years ago. According to the study, every third pound of Vermont’s “municipal solid waste stream� is compostable. Among other measures, the study, which was released in early July, calls for an expanded composting infrastructure and a more comprehensive “perishable food network� — both of which seem incompatible with the state’s threat to close Vermont’s two largest compost operators. Indeed, subcommittee members and other “stakeholders� in the garbage study say closing the Intervale Center and the Vermont Compost Company — which compost more than 20,000 tons of organic waste per year — would make it hard for the state to achieve the composting goals laid out in “Life Beyond Garbage.� In Burlington, the Intervale Center is negotiating behind closed doors the fate of its 179-acre site with state officials. Despite a moratorium that exempts compost facilities from regulatory enforcement for two years, ANR officials reportedly want the center to pay more than $375,000 just to stay in business.

Israeli Sculptor Makes Lasting Impression in Poultney BY PAMELA POLSTON

F

or four years, the Rudolf Steiner Institute has held its summer symposium on the campus of Green Mountain College in Poultney. This is the first year it left behind a permanent memento: three elegant stone-wall sculptures by Israel-based environmental artist Axel Ewald. The undulating walls were constructed — in just 10 days — from indigenous slate, and are sited along a foot-worn path to a popular swimming spot along a riverbank.

how, in a few days’ time, using unfamiliar materials and a few willing hands, he could make such a beautiful and lasting thing.” The untitled work — each wall about 3.5 feet high and 22 feet long, backed by a sloping berm — is an apt souvenir from a symposium whose theme was “The Art of the Earth.” Based on the anthroposophical teachings of its namesake — the foundation of the Waldorf School,

When GMC Communications Director Kevin Coburn saw the finished works, he says, “I was blown away . . . The rock was all local red and blue slate donated by a Poultney quarry. Each ‘wall’ appears to grow out of the ground, serving as sort of a gateway to the river.” Ewald observed something that locals had become oblivious to from familiarity, Coburn notes: an “unofficial” but natural corridor in the landscape. “Axel explained that he likes to do environmental sculpture using local materials — he has worked mostly in the U.K. and Israel,” says Coburn, “but I’m impressed at

among other things — the Rudolf Steiner Institute gives itself the goal of furthering “spiritual inquiry and inner development.” And part of the consciousness-raising experience is exposure to the creativity of its artists-in-residence. This summer’s conclave also treated its 300 participants to concerts by an emerging operatic soprano, Shana Blake Hill, and Israeli-New York pianist Gili Melamed-Lev. The German-born Ewald, 52, has been invited twice before to the Institute, says RSI Executive Director John Greene. “He gives courses on environmental sculpture; all the

people who came are returning next year.” Greene adds that, this summer, they asked the artist to create a site-specific piece on campus. “After we got the green light from the college, Axel found about four locations. This one worked out the best.” Greene calls the sculpture “phenomenal” and says he hopes to “do a joint project with Axel and the students and faculty” next year. Reached by email at home in Kibbutz Harduf in northern Israel, Ewald modestly calls his work “a kind of ‘community sculpture,’” noting that many RSI participants lent a hand, using borrowed stonemason’s hammers, shovels and wheelbarrows. This was Ewald’s first project in the United States, and his debut with slate. “I very much enjoyed working with [it] in the somewhat unconventional manner (building curved walls with layers at varying angles),” he writes. “It reminded me of how sometimes one finds layers of rock in nature. I also like the many different shades of the local slate.” Before leaving last week, the RSI folks hosted an informal “dedication” of Ewald’s sculpture. Now, like hundreds of Vermont stone walls before it, the piece will endure for generations of passersby, a marker of human connection to a beloved place. > More of Axel Ewald’s work can be seen at www.axelewald.com.

ou don’t think about poets incurring expenses for their craft. They just sit in their studies, or maybe take meditative strolls through the woods and jot down their inspired lines, right? Maybe sometimes. But for his next series of poems — about the “lake’s inner life” — Jonesville poet Daniel Lusk is researching shipwrecks and aquatic species at the Lake Champlain Maritime Museum at Basin Harbor, which means he makes a frequent 100-mile round trip. So there’s mileage, never mind the time. That’s why Lusk, a writing instructor at the University of Vermont, can be grateful for a recent $3000 grant from the Vermont Arts Endowment Fund. He’s but one of 29 individuals and organizations across the state that collectively received more than $100,000 last week from the endowment fund, which, along with the Concert Artists Fund, is administered by the Middleburybased Vermont Community Foundation. And Lusk is one of two artists whose work is keyed to the theme of next year’s Lake Champlain Quadricentennial — that is, the 400th anniversary of the lake’s “discovery” by its namesake, Samuel de Champlain. The poet says he’s not writing about lake views, but rather concentrating on what’s beneath the surface. That may or may not include any fossils, but

knowing he’s covered for the fossil fuel he expends on this project surely helps ease the mind and enhance the concentration. Sticking with the lake theme, Bella Voce Women’s Chorus of Vermont — recipient of $5000 from the Concert Arts Fund — plans to perform original works on the theme of water. Dawn Willis, music director and founder of Bella Voce, says her group’s money will enable the 45-woman chorus to commission a new composition by University of Vermont symphony orchestra conductor Michael Hopkins. The award will also help the 5-year-old choral group recruit instrumentalists to play Hopkins’ piece, along with similarly inspired works, at a pair of concerts next May. Artists’ work doesn’t appear by magic; it costs money and takes time. Resources like the Vermont Arts Endowment Fund, which nurtures new works and finances technical assistance through grants of up to $5000, are essential to the process. An anonymous Vermont donor established the endowment fund in 1990, with the help of a matching grant from the National Endowment of the Arts. The Concert Artists Fund supports performances of Western classical music in Chittenden County and makes awards of up to $10,000. It was endowed by the estate of Charles Goetz, who

was the general manager of DBI Industries, a measuring-machine manufacturer in South Burlington. Lest you think that creative types are getting a cushy deal, consider that there isn’t nearly enough money in these and other such funds to “nurture” every Vermont artist and arts organization every year — and competition is tough. A committee consisting of individuals familiar with the state’s arts scene recommends potential recipients of awards from both funds, and the Vermont Community Foundation vets the nominees. It also chooses the committee’s members in consultation with the Vermont Arts Council. The list of those serving on the panel “is not something we share,” says foundation spokeswoman Paige Pierson. This year’s recipients include such major institutions as the Flynn Center for the Performing Arts and the Vermont Symphony Orchestra, as well as smaller organizations including River Arts of Morrisville and Putney’s Sandglass Center for Puppetry and Theater. The individual artists winning awards include a Stowe sculptor, a Bristol painter, a Burlington playwright, a Norwich filmmaker and a Middlebury choreographer. > For more information, visit www. vermontcf.org.

Hey, it’s more fun than simply becoming notaries public. “The Power of Art: The Power to Vote” is a five-panel portable mural that combines cartoon images drawn by the students with commentary from the public. “The overall goal of this project is to spread community awareness on the importance of voting,” affirms Amie Read, one of 13 grad students in a course called “Aesthetics Perspective in Education: Imagination, Culture and Art.” Each panel in the piece depicts a voting scenario aimed at a different demographic — “older

A flag-wielding Satan, and Uncle Sam as Messiah? Makes the recent Michelle-and-Barack New Yorker cover look like a Norman Rockwell painting. To gather the public component of the mural, the St. Mike’s class divided itself into five groups, each taking responsibility for a portion of the mural and soliciting responses to the question, “Why is it important to vote?” Read and her teammates interviewed shop-

pers at the University Mall. Not surprisingly, opinions varied. A 14-year-old girl surmised, “Voting is a privilege worth taking advantage of.” Another woman responded, “Voting means you have a say in things, that you have an opinion.” But it wasn’t all candycoated voting love — the disenfranchised spoke as well. “When they get an honest political candidate, then I’ll vote,” one man grumbled. The responses will appear in “thought bubbles” added to the five panels, which, in case you miss the point, collectively spell out “VOTE!” SMC Professor Jonathan Silverman selects a different civic theme each summer for his “Aesthetics Perspective” course. This year’s subject resonates in Vermont history. Since 1791, the Green Mountain State has been at the forefront of suffrage equality. All adult white males, regardless of property ownership, were given the right to vote that year. Not until 1918 were women allowed to vote in town elections, but that was three years ahead of the establishment of national female suffrage. In this spirit, the St. Mike’s crew continues to carry the torch, encouraging more complacent modern Vermonters to, like, actually vote. >

Curses, Foiled Again An armed man wearing a fake beard and mustache and a wig walked into a bank in Fort Worth, Texas, and demanded cash. Police Lt. Paul Henderson said the robber, who apparently took a taxi to the bank, asked the teller for a ride, but the teller refused, instead handing the man keys and telling him they belonged to a car in the parking lot. They didn’t. The frustrated robber tried to steal a car from a woman at a drive-through ATM who said she needed space to pull up; when the robber let her, she drove off. The robber tried to steal another woman’s car, but four bystanders grabbed him and called police, who arrested Larry Don Enos, 57.

Guilty Vision School officials in

Simcoe County, Ontario, filed a sexualabuse report against the mother of an autistic girl because of an educational assistant’s visit to a psychic. The National Post reported that Colleen Leduc, 38, was summoned to the school where her 11-year-old daughter, Victoria, is enrolled in a special education class. Leduc said Victoria’s teacher and the school’s principal and vice principal told her the psychic asked the EA if she works with a little girl with the initial V. When she answered yes, the psychic said, “This girl is being sexually abused by a man between the ages of 23 and 26.� The aide alerted school officials, who notified the Children’s Aid Society and gave Leduc a list of her daughter’s telltale behaviors. “I challenged them and asked if the other children in the class with autism exhibited these behaviors,� Leduc told the paper. “They said, ‘Oh yes, all the time.’ But they were not reported to the CAS because they didn’t have the psychic’s tip.� Leduc said that the CAS caseworker immediately closed the file, calling it “ridiculous.� The Simcoe County District School Board insisted the officials were only doing their duty by reporting suspected sexual abuse “if they believe there is reasonable grounds.�

I won’t keep you in suspense. To the relief of just about everyone except those hawking competing products, the National Fire Protection Association has affirmed that lightning rods work, an issue that was briefly in doubt. Surprise factor in this decision: zero, since saying otherwise would effectively have meant that 250 years of lightning-rod investment were out the window and we might as well go back to sacrificing virgins to the storm gods. Still, if you read the NFPA decision and supporting documents closely, you can’t help thinking: These guys are whistling in the dark. The whole thing started when a proposed standard for a new lightning protection technology called early streamer emission (ESE) was rejected. There’s no proof it works, the experts said. But you know what? We’re not so sure there’s proof conventional lightning rods (known to the trade as Franklin rods) work, either. At the time of my original column, the NFPA was waiting for Franklin rod proponents to make a scientific case for continuing to recommend the rods. Deadline: October 2001. Franklin backers evidently succeeded — at any rate the NFPA voted to retain NFPA 780, the standard that covers Franklin rods. But their reasoning is none too compelling. The NFPA said a single submission by Franklin rod proponents was enough to justify the standard. This report, “The Basis of Conventional Lightning Protection Technology� by the Federal Interagency Lightning Protection User Group, contains no original research but rather is a review of previous studies. Among other things, it references 18th-century efforts to protect churches, reports by Iowa fire officials from as far back as the 1920s, and U.S. Army reports from the 1940s. More recent research includes lab tests from General Electric plus government reports from the Kennedy Space Center and FAA Doppler radar sites. One interesting data point: Of 240,000 sites protected by lightning rods certified by Underwriters Laboratories, less than 0.1 percent were damaged by lightning over a multiyear period. The authors of “Basis� are prominent scientists, and my gut feeling is they’re right that Franklin rods work pretty well. The fact remains that much of the evidence they adduce to support that conclusion is shoddy. A lot of the data is old and anecdotal and was casually collected by people without scientific training; in too many cases it boils down to “We used to have a lot of lightning damage, but after we put up Franklin rods it stopped.� This is true even of some recent research. The FAA, for example, notes that its radar towers in Florida are protected by NFPA-780-compliant technology and rarely suffer lightning damage. Florida is known for its

Reeve’s Tale

Book review: Forward From Here: Leaving Middle Age — and Other Unexpected Adventures n Reeve Lindbergh’s new book Forward From Here, the youngest child of famed aviator Charles Lindbergh and author and aviatrix Anne Morrow Lindbergh writes of her life spent in the Northeast Kingdom, the “back to the land” moveSTORY ment that led her there, and the conseMATT SCANLON quences — both mundane and thrilling — of turning 60. A collection of 19 Forward From chapters that meander from the dangers Here: Leaving of vanity to the reassurances of routine to Middle Age — and the bittersweet process of children leaving Other Unexpected home, the book is a journey through late Adventures by Reeve Lindbergh, middle age — or, as Lindbergh puts it, Simon & Schuster, “the youth of old age.” 226 pages. $24. Lindbergh, who lives in St. Johnsbury with her second husband, Nat Tripp, is the author of Under a Wing: A Memoir (Delta, 1999) and No More Words: A Journal of My Mother, Anne Morrow Lindbergh (Simon & Schuster, 2002), along with two other memoirs, two novels and a number of children’s books. She serves as Honorary Chairman of the Charles A. and Anne Morrow Lindbergh Foundation, which has offered grants to a variety of artists, inventors and scientists since 1977. Lindbergh wasn’t always so firmly embedded in her adopted community. The book begins with memories of her wobbly days in a new Vermont home with first husband Richard Brown. She

I

only a brief mention of this controversy in the book, though she acknowledges its abiding power in her life. Whatever her reasons for leaving the metropolis, the country seems to have done wonders for Lindbergh. Though she describes some terribly painful moments, such as the deaths of her sister and mother, her prevailing worldview is one of gratitude, simplicity, gentle humor and pleasure in the quiet. Insofar as it works its way into the pages of Forward From Here, however, that tranquility may be just a bit too lasting. In dramatic contrast to No More Words — a soul-searching, searingly honest account of her mother’s last 22 months, complete with descriptions of the strokes Morrow Lindbergh suffered and the torturous dissolution of her writing ability — Lindbergh’s newest memoir is largely a light-hearted paean to country life. The author dwells on subjects that may occasionally strike fellow North Country folks as being on the formulaic side. Birds, turtles, dogs, romping children and quirky local characters wander through the pages, and at times their literary treatment struck this reviewer as reminiscent of episodes of the Vermont-set NBC sitcom “Newhart,” with an occasional dash of “Hee Haw.”

and their groceries. They can’t afford both.” There’s no denying the truth of this statement, but it’s not exactly breaking news. One might be forgiven for supposing that the honorary chair of one of the most prominent foundations in the nation would have a stronger understanding of this issue. Lindbergh’s failure to delve deeper into one of the most critical dilemmas facing people in their sixties (or any age, for that matter) is frustrating, and it’s an example of Forward From Here’s tendency to keep its analysis on the surface. Not that the book is entirely without gravity. Its central chapter, both literally and philosophically, is entitled “Brain Tumor Diary,” wherein Lindbergh describes her battle with a benign meningioma. A series of journal entries,

The book is a journey through late middle age — or, as Lindbergh puts it, “the youth of old age.” describes how, following the spiritual lead of back-to-the-landers Scott and Helen Nearing, the couple learned to grapple with practical difficulties such as neighbor relations and the challenges of being even partially self-sufficient in the early 1970s. Lindbergh is admirably quick to point out that she represented a particular type of back-to-the-lander: one who had the resources to live anywhere but chose a life in the Northeast Kingdom. The book never specifies Lindbergh’s reasons for moving from Cambridge, Massachusetts, to St. Johnsbury, but it’s not hard to imagine why the child of one of the most scrutinized families in American history would choose a life of relative simplicity. Her father’s celebrity soared into the stratosphere following his completion of the first nonstop transatlantic flight in 1927 — an ascent contrasted by an almost equally extreme public dressing down after Lindbergh repeatedly declared his admiration for the Nazi regime’s focus and efficiency. (As late as 1938, he was presented the Service Cross of the German Eagle by no less a figure than Luftwaffe chief Herman Göring.) Lindbergh makes

In a way, the idyllic country clichés make perfect sense. Sometimes Lindbergh says something to remind us that the isolation which fosters her wide-eyed thoughts on raising lambs, the virtues and terrors of Brussels sprouts, and the seasonal residents of her husband’s birdhouses is a product not just of distance from the crowd, but of privilege. Take her reflections on unpacking her recently deceased mother’s trove of wedding gifts, including crystal bowls, silver candlesticks and 18th-century Georgian feather-edgepattern flatware. Such passages quickly awaken a reader to the fact that the narrator’s voice is not exactly that of a hardscrabble homesteader. Of course, there’s no sin in being well off, but Lindbergh’s assumptions may make her advice on gracefully entering one’s seventh decade a little less useful to those who lack access to psychologists, supportive and at-the-ready MDs, and a beautifully loving family. In the chapter entitled “Drugs,” for instance, she writes: “One of the most shocking things I have heard lately about aging in America is that many older citizens on fixed incomes must choose between their prescriptions

the chapter is a timeline of shock, treatment, side effects and recovery. It is wonderful, conveying all the raw pain and flashes of humor that such crises generate, and its humble honesty harks back to the power and energy of No More Words. Lindbergh frequently puts her wit on display, particularly in the chapter “Ashes,” in which she describes the difficulty a friend had in choosing a spot to dispose of a loved one’s “cremains.” (Chucking traditional Hallmark-card locales, such as a placid stream or a stand of trees, the friend eventually opted to dump the urn’s contents into a potted palm in one of the departed’s favorite New York restaurants.) The author expresses unrepentant admiration for her pharmaceuticals in “Drugs” — a goodhumored poke in the eye to those who think bodily purity means eschewing chemical aid. In this refreshingly unpretentious account, we learn how, whether treating her depression, anxiety or seizure disorders, she opens her prescription bottles with a welcoming eye. Thereafter follow chapters devoted to the sweetness of dog ownership (“When a couple lives with a dog and

no other human beings, little by little the dog becomes the third person in the minds of the two humans”) and the delusion of eternal youth (“No matter how good the results of plastic surgery may be, they don’t last forever. Everyone who gets old will look old, someday”). Once again, these are heartening homilies whose truth is undeniable, but it’s hard not to expect more from a woman of Lindbergh’s wit. In the final chapter of Forward From Here, Lindbergh returns to weightier matters. She details how another aspect of her father’s controversial past found its way to Vermont, a full 20 years after his death in 1974: In 1994, she learned that Charles Lindbergh, a model of propriety who was given to extended sermonizing at home, had, in his fifties and sixties, fathered seven children with three different mistresses in Europe. One of the most remarkable parts of the book is this section describing Lindbergh’s process of internalizing the astonishing information and introducing herself to a group of half-brothers and -sisters a generation her junior. Sadly, though, these revelations come at the end, and it was easy to hear the voice of this reviewer’s professor in journalism school, wearily warning of the hazards of “burying the lead.” When Lindbergh says her fury and indignation lasted “in full force, for only about a month,” it’s hard not to see this as a nearly superhuman act of maturity. That aside, the book’s final thoughts on the power of forgiveness are the stuff of true wisdom. Chapters such as this one make the reader keenly aware of what a craftsperson Lindbergh is on the page. Her stripped-to-the-bone style and at-theready honesty could produce a book on aging with real power and purpose. This just isn’t it. Instead, Forward From Here is an unpredictable mix of introspection, unfulfilled anticipation and gentle resignation. Which, come to think of it, may not be a bad way to characterize the process of getting older. m

For Pete’s sake, let’s get down to business! Alice Cook Bassett SHELBURNE

POLLINA’S PRETENSE Progressive candidate Anthony Pollina has reiterated his desire for change in Vermont and his dissatisfaction with Vermont’s established Democratic and Republican parties [Fair Game, July 23]. Although Mr. Pollina has no ties whatsoever to presidential candidate Barack Obama, he sure does love to pretend he does. Similar to the rhetoric used in Mr. Pollina’s previously unsuccessful campaigns, a pledge was made to pursue straightforward campaigning and to ensure transparency and integrity. However, the actions taken by Mr. Pollina’s campaign reflect a behavior right in line with Karl Rove’s immoral politics. By changing his political party affiliation from Progressive to Independent on the last day petitions were due, Mr. Pollina unfairly tricked Vermonters who thought he represented progressive values and persuaded anyone else from running as a Progressive candidate. There’s nothing forwardthinking about manipulating the political system to dissuade others from participating in the democratic process. Mr. Pollina’s true colors have shone through, illuminating a candidate with not nearly as much concern for what’s best for Vermont and for democracy as for personal empowerment. It’s one thing to try and sabotage the Democrat’s legitimate attempt at pursuing change. It’s more disturbing when active steps are taken to disenfranchise people in his own Progressive party from running. Karen Nelson MILTON

HALF-MAST PROGRESSIVE Holding ever fast to the coattails of our perennial independent politician in Washington, usual Progressive candidate Anthony Pollina has announced that he will run as an Independent this November [Fair Game, July 23]. Campaign staffers point to a coalition of the willing from different ideologies across the state as reason enough to leave party lines behind. Anthony leaves a Progressive party whose flag he has flown, not only for the last seven months of campaigning, but also in three previous campaigns for governor and lieutenant governor. He claims that by laying down the shield of the Progressive Party, he will be more appealing, especially to Republican voters. To think that simple party titles and affiliations are a major hinge for swing votes is to degrade the voting competency of Vermonters. People around here

don’t vote on a strict party line. If they do vote, they do so for the person they think is best. For instance, we had a “Republicrat� for 11 years in the governor’s office. I suggest more concrete actions and plans for progress rather than foolish label maneuvering. Tavid Bingham

We need to rethink energy and agriculture and education and transportation and currency and our media culture and dozens of other things — good food, good beer and good compost among them.

Tick Talk Buggin’ out with Vermont State Entomologist Jon Turmel

W STORY

SARAH TUFF

hen it comes to summer pests, ticks and mosquitoes beat just about everything (even overstaying house guests). The blood-sucking critters can carry the lifealtering Lyme disease and the potentially fatal West Nile virus — and now they’re plaguing the Green Mountain State in historic proportions. With such worries getting under our skin, Seven Days bugged State Entomologist Jon Turmel with some questions. SEVEN DAYS: So, are the ticks worse than ever this year? That’s what I heard. JON TURMEL: We’re getting more reports of ticks. We don’t actually go out and survey, but I’ve been here a little over 30 years, and this is the first time I can actually say I was in an area where I looked down and I had 30 to 40 ticks on my pants. SD: Oh, my goodness. Where was that? JT: [Laughs.] It was south of Wells along the Connecticut River. So. And the number of reports we’re getting are up.

Wine, White REDWOOD CREEK CONSIDERS CATAMOUNT TRAIL FOR A $50K GRANT

Never mind that hot chocolate is the beverage of choice for many cross-country skiers who schuss along Vermont’s 300-mile Catamount Trail. As part of its Greater Outdoors Project, Redwood Creek winery is pouring $50,000 into a worthy outdoor space. The California company began accepting applications in March, and the Catamount Trail Association (CTA) glided into one of the five finalist spots out of more than 100 entries. Promising to use the grant money to conserve the last 90 miles of unprotected trails, the CTA is up against American Forests in California, the Southeast Wisconsin Chapter of Trout Unlimited, Friends of the Cheat (a river advocacy group) in West Virginia and Nature Corps of California. As of last Wednesday, July 23, the CTA was in third place — but still close enough to win if it gets the most votes, according to Great Outdoors Project spokesperson Carolina Holcomb. Through July 31, anyone 21 and over can give a nod to the nordic network by visiting www.redwoodcreek.com or www.catamounttrail.org.

SD: What’s the explanation for that? JT: We don’t have one, other than maybe they just survived the winter very well. It was cold, but we didn’t get those killing colds, and we had a blanket of snow. It could be a combination of things. It could be that the populations are escalating, which is just a matter of time. I grew up in southern New Hampshire, and we never had ticks, and my family now can’t go out without ticks everywhere; it’s just progressing north. Something like the Lone Star tick — 10 years ago if we got one in the lab, we could with certainty say that that person came from the South, but now we’re seeing Lone Star ticks from people who don’t even leave the state.

SD: When you bring up winter — is this attributable to climate change in any way? JT: I doubt it.

this year where they found triple-digit numbers that invaded a house, and that was a concern for Powassan virus. It’s worse than Lyme disease; it’s a lots more virulent strain.

SD: So what could be the other reasons? JT: We’re a very mobile society.

SD: And what about other insects — black flies, mosquitoes?

SD: Sort of like boats bringing zebra mussels onto the lake. JT: Sure.

SD: What about other insects — are their populations increasing? JT: They go in cycles. That’s a result of natural predators, parasitoids, diseases. Those cycles are still going on. SD: So what cycle are we in right now? JT: Something like [the] gypsy moth, we’re in the low end; forest tent caterpillar, which two years ago peaked, we’re now at the low end. That was because of parasitoids and diseases: the same thing with the gypsy moth. SD: Going back to ticks, you’ve got the danger of Lyme disease . . . JT: Well, from just the one species of tick, the black-legged tick, also known as the deer tick. We can identify it for them. We don’t test for Lyme disease; people would have to have that done independently. But, you know, if a tick has not been on a person for over 24 hours, realistically 36, they don’t have to worry about Lyme disease. Because it takes at least that amount of time for the Lyme disease to be transmitted. So the important thing is, if you’re going out and you know there might ticks in an area, check yourself. Tick checks are very important. Ten years ago we wouldn’t be having this conversation, but now, yes, you have to check yourself for ticks. SD: What types of areas? JT: It depends where you live. If it’s wooded, there could be white-footed mice, which are the primary reservoir for Lyme disease; there could be deer, in which case, yes, you could have ticks. Areas where it’s wooded, has shrubs, tall grasses — those are ideal areas. SD: Beyond Lyme disease, what are the dangers? JT: We have a case of woodchuck tick

JT: It’s always an issue. We’re monitoring it and testing for it. We’re also keeping an eye on Eastern equine encephalitis, and we watch Massachusetts, New York and New Hampshire. When it gets close to our borders, we go out and trap for the species that might carry it.

JT: Well, there have been some localized storms that have created some issues with mosquitoes. It’s totally weather dependent. SD: So with these recent rains . . . JT: I’m just waiting for the calls. SD: They’ll make it worse? JT: Yes. Any time we have these rain events. I’ve seen them go from egg to an adult in five days. This water will just keep adding to it, to the breeding habitat. SD: How much of a concern is West Nile?

SD: What are the most effective techniques to protect against mosquitoes? JT: Light-colored clothing, long-sleeved shirts and DEET. SD: What about those backyard zappers? JT: They’re a waste of money. I can’t show you any scientific data that shows that it does work. DEET is the most studied product on the market. SD: When can we stop worrying about this? JT: When there’s a good killing frost, which is usually into November. SD: Well, something to look forward to then. JT: Yep. [Laughs.] m

ENERGY STARS O

n July 17, Al Gore issued an ominous challenge to the American people: By 2018, the nation must be weaned from fossil fuels and fully reliant on carbon-free electric power. “The future of human civilization is at stake,” he said. More than most places, Vermont has already taken significant steps towards meeting that challenge. Two-thirds of the state’s power is generated by greenhouse gas-free sources: Hydro-Québec and Vermont Yankee. Another 15 percent comes from renewable, in-state resources such as wind, small-scale hydropower and biomass. Vermont can also claim the U.S.’s first statewide efficiency utility, Efficiency Vermont, which helps households and businesses reduce their energy costs. Consequently, electricity is not only greener, but cheaper here. Vermonters pay an average retail cost of 12 cents per kilowatt-hour, while the rest of New England pays 14 cents or more. But, while the news is good right now, Vermont’s continued reliance on carbon-free energy sources is far from assured. In 2012, the state’s utility contracts with Hydro-Québec begin to expire along with Vermont Yankee’s federal license. How can Vermont continue to meet its energy needs while maintaining or improving Vermont’s quality of life? That question is on the minds of legislators and policymakers across the state. It is also of great concern to the state’s largest power utilities, three of which happen to be led by women: Barbara Grimes, a former state legislator who has been general manager of Burlington Electric since March of 1999; Mary Powell, who in August will become president and CEO of Green Mountain Power, a publicly traded utility that has 92,000 customers; and Beth Sachs, co-founder of the Vermont Energy Investment Corporation, which administers Efficiency Vermont and a halfdozen similar projects in the U.S. and China from its Burlington offices. Between them, Grimes, Powell and Sachs represent decades of experience in energy and corporate management. Is it a coincidence that all three — not to mention NRG’s Jan Blittersdorf and Dori Wolfe at GroSolar — are bright spots in a field traditionally dominated by men? On the Thursday afternoon before Independence Day, the trio sat down with Seven Days in the offices of Vermont Energy Investment Corporation on South Champlain Street. As a thunderstorm slashed the Burlington waterfront, the three women talked about the energy challenges ahead for Vermont and what their organizations are doing to meet them.

BARBARA GRIMES

A lifelong Burlington resident, Barbara Grimes’ path to the top spot at Burlington Electric included five terms in the Vermont House, where she chaired both the Ways and Means and the Commerce committees. While politically astute, Grimes acknowledges that she had little knowledge of the intricately wonkish world of public electric companies. But, she recalls, that’s not what then-Mayor Peter Clavelle needed when he appointed her in 1999. “They recognized that I was not a utility suit,” Grimes explains. “However, I did have a reputation as an effective manager, and that’s what they felt BED needed.” Grimes says the utility needed someone with a fiscally responsible vision, a manager who could find the leaks and inefficiencies in the system, tighten it down and make it seaworthy. Unfortunately, that meant job cuts. “While, clearly, I was not cutting my position,” Grimes remembers, “I certainly did understand, when I went home at night, that somebody was not going to have a job.” Grimes also instituted a seven-year capital plan, dumped an entire voltage system and a few substations, and beefed up the distribution lines to reduce line losses. “When you have stronger wire,” she explains, “you have less electrons escaping. They tend to get outside that wire and just disappear. Last year, we saved $440,00 in line losses that did not occur.” Grimes’ leadership was instrumental in convincing city voters in March to approve a $39.6 million bond for, among other things, emissions-reducing upgrades at the McNeil Generating Station and an equity investment in Vermont Electric Power Company (VELCO), the entity that owns many of the power lines in the state.

The bond will also help BED look for additional renewable energy from within Vermont. Burlington Electric currently gets 57 percent of its electricity from renewable sources, but some of that power costs more because it has to be diverted to Burlington. Along with new renewable energy sources, Grimes also hopes to improve efficiency among BED’s customers. “The challenge for the State of Vermont is, we hear it all the time, the two largest contracts that

FIRST, as it is known, would allow landowners to finance electric and thermal solar energy initiatives. A landowner would borrow from the city, which obtains the money by selling municipal bonds. The cost gets amortized over a 20-year period — making a $12,000 investment cost about $75 per month. The loan is secured by a lien on the property, so that when the property changes hands, the new owner assumes payment via an addition to the tax bill.

serve the majority of ratepayers in the state eventually are going away,” Grimes says. “And in a carbonreduced future, the competition for carbon-neutral fuels is going to be intense.” Among the options Grimes is examining is one that originates in Berkeley, California. The city is contemplating a program called Financing Initiative Energy Efficiency, Renewable and Solar Technology.

While Burlington has not yet committed to a similar scheme, Grimes thinks it’s a smart way to facilitate the types of renewable energy and efficiency improvements that most landowners couldn’t pay for out of pocket. “It could give homeowners and small businesses across the state a real leg up,” she offers. >> 26A

Grimes attributes some of her success as a female leader in a dude-dominated industry to her straight-forward approach to both problems and people. But, she says, her style is not always well tolerated by that amorphous male executive population she calls “the boys.” “If I’m frank, and interested in not beating around the bush,” she explains, “then I’m a ‘bitch on wheels.’ If I approach it sensitively, then I’m ‘weak.’ The same view is not dealt with in a man’s world.” Grimes serves on the board of the Vermont Women’s Forum, a support network for women leaders. Creating more opportunities for women in the upper echelons of the workplace is not only important for women, Grimes says, but for the places they work. “We still have to be competent and we still have to balance the books at the end of the day,” she says. “But it is the diversity of being in a room with more styles and opinions that makes it a much more robust workplace.”

for the time being, is called “Our Energy Future: A Template for Vermont.” The plan has three components: decreasing the state’s dependence on nuclear power while boosting in-state renewable energy generation; creating “green energy zones” for the development of renewable energy sites; and negotiating a “broader and deeper” relationship with Hydro-Québec for low-cost, back-up-system power. (GMP is owned by Northern New England Energy Corporation, a subsidiary of Gaz Metro, which is a Québec energy company.) The first component assumes that Vermont Yankee will be re-licensed for another 20 years, which, as Powell points out, isn’t an unreasonable assumption. Since 1998, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has granted license renewals to about a quarter of all nuclear plants in the U.S., and the Department of Public Service expects that trend to continue. “I’m really concerned about what feels to me like cliff diving in terms of an energy policy,” Powell says. “Like, if we just cliff dive and get off of Yankee, we’ll find our way to a better future . . . If the plant is demonstrated to be safe, as a state we should re-license it, but only in the context of ramping it down

To encourage the collaborative environment, Powell works at a stand-up desk in a high-traffic part of the office. “People feed off people,” she says of the arrangement, “and there’s a momentum and action.” A native of Manhattan, Powell and her husband moved to Vermont in 1989 to live at a camp on Lake Champlain in Colchester that’s been in her family since the 1800s. (They now live in South Hero with their daughter.) Powell’s first job in Vermont was as the director of human resources for the state, a job she held from 1989 to 1992, a tumultuous time in state government because it spanned the administrations of Madeleine Kunin, Richard Snelling and Howard Dean. “It was a really fascinating way to get to know Vermont,” she says. Powell, who will replace Chris Dutton as GMP’s chief executive officer on August 1, is excited about a new initiative that,

Beth Sachs grew up in one of those iconic row houses in Baltimore, a tall, skinny place that was a challenge to heat uniformly in winter. The third floor was always hot; the first was always cold. Her mom kept trying to find a solution to the problem, but always ended up faced with someone trying to sell her a new furnace. Perhaps it was then, at a subconscious level, that Sachs hatched the idea for a company that would show people how to use energy more efficiently, complete with financial incentives for carrying out those measures. Those were the two central ideas behind Vermont Energy Investment Company, which Sachs, 56, and her husband, Blair Hamilton, founded in 1986. “The point of efficiency is to do the same with less,” Sachs explains, “and I think that we’re really going to have to look at doing less with less, and I think we have to do it in a way that’s fair to everybody. We have to start thinking about the amount of ways that we use energy and the size of buildings that we live in and the size of cars that we drive.” Sachs started exploring options for energy efficiency at

Mary Powell noticed a few things when she arrived at Green Mountain Power in 1998. At the first big industry meeting she attended on the job, there was not only no line for the women’s bathroom, “there was nobody in the women’s bathroom,” she recalls with a laugh. Powell was more concerned about the company’s “slow, sluggish, utility metabolism.” The fit and energetic woman set about to make GMP a leaner, swifter operation, and in 2002 she launched a massive restructuring of the company. Like Grimes, Powell — who was senior vice president and chief operating officer at the time — set out to reduce GMP’s labor costs, eventually cutting the workforce from 340 employees to 185. Powell also ushered in a new corporate culture at GMP. She did away with private offices, and moved the company’s headquarters from South Burlington, in a building known as the

over the 20-year license period.” If that happens, Vermont Yankee would be able to sell more of its power on the open market, which Powell anticipates will allow Vermont utilities to leverage better in-state rates. The savings could then be invested in designing and implementing renewable energy strategies in “green energy zones” — areas that are optimal for wind, solar, hydro and biomass generation. “Green energy” projects would benefit from a streamlined permitting process, Powell says, with an emphasis on projects that originate in Vermont. That would boost the state’s economy and lower permitting, while encouraging the development of sustainable energy, like solar power. “One of my dreams,” Powell says, “is to drive by Taft Corners and have every big-box store solarized.” And what happens if Vermont Yankee is not re-licensed? Powell assures that the lights won’t go out. However, she says, GMP is concerned that the state will have to rely more heavily on the kinds of dirty, more expensive energy that it is trying to get away from. That’s also why the power Hydro-Québec supplies is such an important element of “Our Energy Future.” This energy source is particularly important to “baseload” users, such as major industrial customers who need a constant and high level of electricity. Powell believes Vermont Yankee will likely be relicensed and that the state’s contracts with Hydro-Québec will be renewed when they begin to expire in a few years. But she warns against complacency. “It would be too easy . . . to not see the incredibly long way we have to go to really get at a place that would match most of Vermont’s values, in terms of being as green as we can be from a state perspective, as well as delivering it in the most cost-effective way possible.”

Antioch College, in Yellow Springs, Ohio, where she studied environmental design. “We were looking at lightweight stuff like bubbles, underground houses, those kinds of things,” recalls Sachs, who was the executive director of VEIC until the end of June, when Scott Johnstone, the former executive director of the Chittenden County Municipal Planning Organization, took over. “Then we started thinking about how to make buildings more efficient.” Over the past 35 years, America has weathered two oil embargoes and two wars in the Middle East. Over the years, an amalgam of players — government, utilities, private citizens — has become more involved in promoting energy-efficiency measures. But Sachs says that only since the Asian tsunamis, Hurricane Katrina and the Academy Award-winning documentary An Inconvenient Truth has the field of energy efficiency ceased being viewed as “hippie shit.” Those natural disasters, and our cultural interpretation of their significance, constituted a “wake-up call,” she says, and caused people to start thinking about their carbon footprint and how to shrink it. “Energy efficiency is the thing we can do today,” Sachs says, while we build a bridge to renewable energy. When it comes to energy efficiency, Vermont is ahead of the curve. In 1999, the legislature authorized the Public Service Board to appoint “one or more entities” to provide energy efficiency services to the state’s ratepayers. VEIC won the bid to be Vermont’s efficiency utility, and it’s funded through an energy-efficiency charge that shows up on your electric bill. By all accounts, Efficiency Vermont has been a resounding success. The electricity that the utility saves comes at a cost of 2.6 cents per kilowatt-hour, while the same kilowatt-hour costs 5.6 cents to produce. By the end of 2005, Efficiency Vermont had reduced the annual energy use in Vermont by 98,000 BETH SACHS

megawatt-hours, which prevents more than 1 million tons of carbon dioxide from entering the atmosphere, and has an economic value of $66 million. To get a sense of these numbers, the other way to save 98,000 megawatthours in one year is to unplug about 1600 Vermont homes from the grid. Not surprisingly, Sachs is skeptical of Vermont’s reliance on Vermont Yankee, and would prefer to see a greater emphasis on efficiency home improvement rather than a 20-year renewal of the plant’s license. According to a 2006 Department of Public Service study, 15 percent of Vermont’s electricity needs in 2015 can be met through efficiency measures. With a concerted effort by Efficiency Vermont between now and then, that goal appears to be within reach. 2x2-Cheshire073008.indd 1 7/29/08 7:39:37 AM “I think that we can do without Vermont Yankee and go to the market for what we need and really move as fast as we can on efficiency and renewables,” Sachs says. However, she says, “efficiency” must incorporate an “all-fuels” approach, which takes a bird’s-eye look at the different morsels in our energy diet, including those used for transportation. In Vermont, for example, 60 percent of homeowners heat with fuel oil; Bring in this ad, and save but because Efficiency Vermont’s 10% off your next purchase. sole purview is reducing electric (don’t miss the $20 rack!) use, the efficiency utility may prescribe a regimen of compact fluo40 state st. montpelier • 802.223.4300 • www.salaamclothing.com rescent light bulbs, but can’t tell a homeowner how to, say, make his furnace run smoother. 2x3-Salaam073008.indd 1 7/28/08 12:53:28 PM Thankfully, that’s changing, although not as quickly as some would hope. Earlier this year, the governor signed S.209 into law: Titled “An Act Relating to 2x6-Zutano.indd the Vermont Energy Efficiency and Affordability Act,” it starts with some encouraging language: “In order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and environmental degradation, it is essential that we reduce or eliminate our dependency on fossil fuels by significantly improving energy efficiency…” The act sets a host of “building efficiency goals” to help get there, including an increase in weatherization services to low-income Vermonters. It also orders the Department of Public Service to create and implement a “heating and process fuel efficiency program” — basically, an Efficiency Vermont for fuel oil — by April 2009. According to Sachs, transportation is Vermont’s Achilles heel in the battle for a clean, green state. VEIC is already on the case: This fall, it will begin a research project with the University of Vermont aimed at changing our herky-jerky driving styles. “We think we can teach ourselves to drive 20 percent more efficiently,” she says. Sachs started VEIC the same year she gave birth to her only child. She believes being a woman has made her a good manager. Co-workers confirm it: They describe her as “compassionate,” 4x6-OR073008.indd 1 “concerned about others” and “strong and gentle at the same time.” “Yeah,” Sachs concedes. “I think that has something to do with being a woman.” �

If that’s proving tricky, walk down to the STORY Burlington waterfront and head north MIKE about a hundred yards, until you reach IVES the Lake Champlain Community Sailing Center.

As Vermont’s only community waterfront center, the CSC strives to make sailing, kayaking and canoeing accessible not just to adults, but to at-risk youth, as well as people with disabilities. By learning how to operate watercraft on Lake Champlain, aspiring boaters cultivate self-confidence and a spirit of environmental stewardship. Along the way, they have boatloads of fun. Launched in 1995, the sailing center has always worked with local nonprofits to serve the needs of the region’s most vulnerable populations. It has offered programming for Burlington’s King Street Youth Center and the Killingtonbased nonprofit Vermont Adaptive Ski & Sports since the late 1990s. After Executive Director Kate Neubauer grabbed the tiller in 2004, the sailing center significantly expanded its list of community partners to include

A YOUNG SAILOR TIES UP HIS BOAT OUTSIDE THE COMMUNITY SAILING CENTER

Spectrum Youth & Family Services, the Greater Burlington YMCA, the HowardCenter, the Boys & Girls Club of Burlington and the DREAM Program, a Winooski-based nonprofit that facilitates mentoring relationships between at-risk youth and area undergraduates. User visits to the sailing center have increased from 5000 in 2003 to an anticipated 13,000 this summer. “Sailing seems to be something that poor kids don’t even think they can do,” says Kathy Olwell, director of the New North End Youth Center. In the summers, Olwell runs a program that sends kids from Hunt and Edmunds Middle Schools down to the waterfront for 50-hour sailing courses. About half of the kids receive subsidized lunches. The sailing center was created thanks to a 1993 Burlington City Council resolution authorizing the city’s

Waterfront Commission to approve a launch site for non-motorized boats. “We have this old thing that we’re not using, and you’re welcome to use it,” city administrators noted of the Moran Plant, according to Neubauer. That location worked with the city’s “Harbor Management Plan,” she says, which restricts engine-powered craft in the northern reaches of town. The center’s first 12 sailboats were purchased in 1997. Now the fleet has grown to the point where, on a recent Thursday morning, a visitor has trouble counting the number of white sails fluttering in teal-colored Lake Champlain against an Adirondack backdrop. And that’s not including the dozens of other sailboats, kayaks and canoes waiting patiently in the shadow of the Moran Plant’s rusted-out metal scaffolding. Neubauer, a dynamic 30-year-old with brown hair, emerges from the office wearing jeans, black sunglasses and a red life vest. She came to the sailing center in 2004 fresh from a year working as an AmeriCorps VISTA community organizer for Burlington’s Community and Economic Development Office (CEDO). Government work was nice, recalls the Rhode Island native, but it left her curious to understand how nonprofits worked with cities to solve problems. Neubauer’s VISTA experience helped her deduce that the center wasn’t adequately serving Burlington’s most vulnerable communities; she started making contacts and raising money with an eye toward expanding programming. “I didn’t come to the sailing center because of sailing,” she says, gazing out at the lake. “I came because it was a program giving an opportunity to people who otherwise wouldn’t have it.” Around noon, Gabriel Diaz and a crew of elementary-school-age sailors tie their sailboats to the docks and head ashore. The students, six of them refugees, have been participating in the sailing center’s 1-year-old LeaderSHIP program, a youth-development initiative that links sailing with confidence building. If these kids weren’t sailing, says Diaz, a paraeducator at Hunt Middle School, “they’d have nothing else to do but hang out on the street.” As Diaz leads the children to the nearby ECHO Lake Aquarium and Science Center for lunch, Neubauer greets Evan LeCompte, director of the YMCA’s “Y’s Guys” summer program. The YMCA began sending campers to the sailing center two years ago, supplementing trips to such places as Centennial Field and a local bowling alley, LeCompte explains. He says he’s not surprised that his charges have a blast on the water, considering that “99.9 percent” of their parents don’t own boats. Christopher Brown, who directs the Winooski-based DREAM program, is similarly enthusiastic about the sailing center. Founded in 1999, DREAM connects at-risk children with mentors from seven colleges in Vermont and New Hampshire. The sailing center has enabled mentors and mentees to hang out on the lake together. “For a nonprofit organization such as ours that thrives on the generosity of others,”

Brown wrote in a recent letter, “the ability to be part of this program at no cost has been truly invaluable.� That assessment would resonate with Kathy Olwell. She says parents are “ecstatic� to learn that their kids are sailing; if kids weren’t engaged in structured activities, they’d be at greater risk for drug use and teen pregnancy. “I’d never heard of such a thing until they opened up down there!� Olwell continues. “I always thought of sailing as being for someone who has a sailboat and who’s upper-middle-class to wealthy.� Olwell’s praise underscores two challenges facing the sailing center: location and image. With facilities that aren’t immediately visible from the Burlington Bike Path, the place doesn’t have “walk-up exposure,� according to a recent strategic plan. What’s more, its sailing-heavy name can evoke “images of elitism.� (Neubauer says a forthcoming name change will better reflect the full scope of the center’s mission.) Those challenges may soon be distant memories. In March, Burlington voters approved a resolution that lays out an “adaptive reuse� plan for turning the Moran Plant into a mixed-use recreational space. In addition to a renovated sailing center that includes year-round classrooms and a new boat-storage facility, the plan includes a restaurant, a children’s museum and an indoor ice- and rock-climbing facility. A revitalized Moran Plant will mean a permanent home for the sailing center, Neubauer says. And not a moment too soon: She’s tired of working in an office that doesn’t have running water or heat. With more visibility and year-round programming, Neubauer predicts, the sailing center could expand to include whatever programming works, given Vermont weather and the needs of the Burlington community. A member of the Community Sailing Council of the Rhode-Island-based United States Sailing Association, Neubauer says

that other community waterfront centers around the country offer water-based art and therapy classes. In other words, the sky’s — or the horizon’s — the limit. Construction of the revamped sailing center is tentatively expected to wrap by 2010. As part of the Moran redevelopment project, officials at the center, which had assets valued at $215,134 in 2006, hope to raise $3 million. “That’s the next challenge,â€? Neubauer says with a laugh. “We’re ready, but it’s a challenge.â€? In the meantime, there’s plenty of fun to be had. As Neubauer strolls out onto the docks, Diaz leads his aspiring sailors to the ECHO Center for a lunch of hot dogs and potato chips. The kids, Diaz explains, are here with “Barnes World Academy,â€? a joint project of the Sarah Holbrook Community Center and Burlington’s Department of Parks and Recreation. Parents pay $25 per week for the camp, and sailing instruction is free. A camp administrator says the sailing center gives most of these campers a chance to see their own city from the waves for the very first time. While waiting for their food in the bright, noisy ECHO cafeteria, Diaz’s campers wax nostalgic about their first adventures on Lake Champlain. “It was so fun because you get to see stuff!â€? one says over the racket. They’re quick to specify which stuff: double-bodied dragonflies, seaweed and fish, other boats . . . “It was scary at first!â€? a smiling African boy with a shaved head chimes in from the end of the table. “It was somewhat scary and somewhat fun,â€? notes the oldest boy in the bunch, an Old North End native who graduated from Barnes Elementary in June. Why was it somewhat scary? “I’ve never been in a sailboat before, and I didn’t know they tipped.â€? Why somewhat fun? “It’s fun when you tip over!â€? ďż˝

gender pot by having the all-female cast also play male characters. In the Waterbury Festival Players’ current production, F. Reed Brown skillfully directs a spirited ensemble in the quirky farce. Most of the actresses embrace their roles with gusto. But the script also has eyerolling elements that are too “inside baseball” even for a theater critic who is, ahem, inside baseball. They stop the dramatic momentum cold, through little fault of the team on stage that is doing its best to power through the playwright’s excessive navel-gazing. Anton’s lead characters are a mismatched trio of actresses, traveling to San Antonio to star in a regional production of Anton Chekhov’s Three Sisters. Holly, an ultra-glam TV starlet from L.A., seeks to boost her classics cred as a way of jumpstarting a film career. Casey, veteran “queen of off-off-Broadway” from New York, has done 200 plays without garnering a paycheck. Lisabette, a perky Texas native and recent drama school grad, is greener than her mom’s garden okra when it comes to the hard realities of life as an acting pro. The schemer, the cynic and the naïf join the Chekhov project with different agendas. But the women form a surprisingly tight bond as they confront the circus around them. The theater company’s producer rhapsodizes endlessly about conceptual malarkey; pretentious directors rant and bully; self-absorbed sponsors act like pompous asses. Compared with these folks, the crazy actresses are the asylum’s sanest inmates. And in the end, they fall NICOLE STARRETT, CAEL BARKMAN in love with the AND ANITA NATARAJAN Chekhov, and start to feel — and behave — like three sisters. Martin uses the play to editorialize mercilessly about the current state of the American stage. The verdict for regional theater is particularly dire. The stage manager laments that it “once showed a lot of promise, but has since degenerated into dying medieval fiefdoms and arrogant baronies producing small-cast comedies, cabaret musicals, mean-spirited new plays and the occasional deconstructed classic, which everybody hates.” Much of the satire works — we’re sitting in a regional theater, watching the play, so we’re in on the joke. One character’s observations become exceedingly tiresome, however. Disruptive audience member Joby, seated in the house, peppers the performers with pretentious critiques. She forces them to

Martin uses the play to editorialize mercilessly about the current state of the American stage. stop the action on stage, break the fourth wall and address her concerns. While we share the actors’ annoyance, the interruptions disturb the emotional connections we are forging with their primary characters — “Casey,” for example, not “The Actress Playing Casey.” Martin’s carefully constructed play-within-a-play layer cake sags under the weight of this dense and unflavorful extra tier. Despite the script’s imperfections, director Brown has cast a perfect leading trio. Nicole Starrett shimmers as the impossibly gorgeous Holly. She exudes the starlet’s predatory sexuality with a feline gait, stalking the stage in stilettoes and ensnaring other characters with her physical charms. But behind the seemingly unflappable exterior, Starrett conveys Holly’s all-consuming career hunger, and the tinge of sadness at its heart. As the wide-eyed Lisabette, Krissy Kenny plays the perfect foil to Starrett’s sloe-eyed Holly. With a Texas accent as broad as the Lone Star State, Kenny’s perky incarnation of the ingenue flashes a toothy smile, shakes her cascade of red curls and always remembers to look heavenward and apologize to Jesus when she swears. Kenny conjures refreshing eagerness and earnestness, which provide counterpoint to the seen-it-all perspectives of her stage sisters. Cael Barkman puts Casey at the center of the women’s friendship. Casey’s tough cynicism masks deep vulnerability. Barkman gives a witty bite to Casey’s bitter digs, but uses her eyes to reveal that the sardonic worldview is a survival mechanism. Like Olga (Casey’s part in Three Sisters), she plays the quiet role that turns out to be the most compelling. Of the performers juggling multiple parts, Sophia LaPaglia chews the scenery — in a good way — as Wikéwitch, the power-mad, foul-mouthed Polish director with a God complex. She narrows her eyes and leans forward to spit his lines cholerically at the confused actresses. She reinforces Wikéwitch’s need to intimidate with macho swagger and a quick temper.

Ramona Godfrey’s biggest roles are as drama queen producer Kate and cowboy actor Ben. But her best performance comes in a small scene as the gay male costume designer Jackey, persuading a resistant Holly to wear a severe Russian outfit for the Chekhov. Godfrey, swathed in head-to-toe lamé, uses flirtatiousness and flattery to build gay man/straight woman trust, without resorting to clichéd, swishy gestures. Only Anita Natarajan has persistent weak spots. She recites lines — with more than a few stumbles — rather than owning them, especially in the stage manager’s rather long speeches. As the grating Joby, Brittany Rhoads tries to make the best of the thin material, blending sweetness and rudeness in a passable passive-aggressive mix. Donna Collins’ wide array of costumes adds great polish to the play. Holly’s dresses feature bold prints and elegant fabrics, and the snakeskin-patterned pants hug every curve. Visible scene changes occur throughout the play as the performers and stagehands manipulate elements of Ed Demler’s simple set design, such as a movable door, modern office chairs, and a Victorian table and chairs for the Chekhov vignettes. A clever detail: Two large radiators on the back wall fold out to reveal beds. Waterbury’s artistic director George Pierce deserves credit for programming unusual choices. This summer, the Festival Players are staging four plays in their third season, none of which you’ll see anywhere else in Vermont. (Tom Stoppard’s Rough Crossing has already run; still to come are Kenny Finkle’s kid-friendly comedy Indoor/Outdoor and Frederick Knott’s thriller Wait Until Dark.) Uncommon offerings are sometimes imperfect ones. But at Pierce’s Playhouse, a game effort is always guaranteed. As is your ticket price: Pierce promises a refund if “you believe you did not see a high-quality show.” His refreshing attitude happily undercuts Jane Martin’s cynicism about regional theater. �

ARTWORK

“Main Towers” by Rick Hayes

Marc Awodey

ick Hayes paraphrases Charles Dickens for the title of his exhibition “The Best of Times, The Worst of Times.” Dickens’ brilliant opening line from A Tale of Two Cities is the first link in a chain of dichotomies describing the precariously imbalanced worlds of 18thcentury France and England. Hayes’ solo exhibition of computer-manipulated digital photos at the SEABA office gallery is a gathering of images on two themes that evoke an early 21st-century America seemingly on the verge of chaos. One of the themes involves an ongoing project called “The Crystal City,” while the other unfolds in 18 images organized into two ninepaned diamond configurations. The latter reference “a world of smoke and machines without human beings,” according to a curatorial statement. “The Crystal City” is a sprawling project assembled from found-glass items Hayes has been constructing at his home for several years. His obsession, like that of a model railroader, is in constant flux and represents “an unending war between chance and entropy,” he writes. The SEABA show’s selection of altered images of Hayes’ glass megalopolis is called “Apparition.” The most dramatic image is the 24-by-36-inch digital print “Main Towers.” It’s like a crowded Times Square of indigo pixels and densely packed shadows. A large crystal sphere segmented by reflections inhabits the middle ground of the phantasmagorical Manhattan. Another piece in “Apparition” is the 12-by-16-inch print of a squad of plastic soldiers scattered across an eerie white landscape. Hayes deepened the picture plane by making the figures more indistinct in the

distance, and activated the image using sloping dark angles along the corners of the picture. All of his images are formally astute, and his compositions are rugged and keenly organized. Opposite the “Apparitions” half of the show are the diamond groupings of nine pictures each. The curator’s statement describes them as based on skyscrapers and as an homage to Goya’s “Disasters of War” cycle of prints. These presumably represent “The Worst of Times” epoch noted in the show’s title — and, in yet another

ed values than florid hues. Colors such as the blurry turquoise in “Night and the City” are seen in fleeting flashes rather than saturated fields. A nearly 7-foot-high diamond of nine 16-by-20inch prints looms ominously at one end of the gallery. The digital photos of geometric monoprints are somber and simplified. They are flat, yet striated with fine visual textures suggesting forms in a state of decay. Individual titles within the grouping include “The Triumph of Death,” “The Last Missile” and “Sign of the

Many of the images seem like postcards from a strange world too complex to be comprehended or fully described. referential layer, bear some relationship to 9/11. Hayes’ conceptual narrative is ultimately rather esoteric, but the images he’s created are compelling — regardless of whether anyone else understands the ideas that inspired them or determined the layout of the show. An aggregation of snapshot-sized pictures is entitled “Genealogy.” Among them are shots of glass vessels, a glass head entitled “New Woman: Last of the Matriarchs,” and the copy of a picture of a woman giving birth to a glass sphere, entitled “Origin Obscured by the Object of its Own Design.” Hayes’ colors are muted, as he seems more entranced by starkly contrast-

Times.” The piece entitled “Kronos” is named after the lord of the Titans in Greek mythology, who was overthrown by Zeus. Again, Hayes clearly has something very specific in mind with this tall diamond, beyond its graphic interest, but he doesn’t disclose what it is. Hayes’ choice not to make things crystal clear is probably wise. Many of the images seem like postcards from a strange world too complex to be comprehended or fully described. The zeitgeist conjured in the artist’s current exhibit is something too big to fit readily into a modest gallery. — MARC AWODEY

neck laces for wedding gowns which might go for “several thousand” dollars and take a year to make. She is also a historian of her craft, well versed in its origins and development in Europe. Using centuriesold methods, she creates two kinds of lace: bobbin, highly sought after by knights and nobility from the 1400s until the Industrial Revolution, she says; and tatting, a series of tiny knots created by shuttles, which she

acemaking is weaving without a loom. So explains veteran lacemaker Evelyn Gant, owner of Fine Threads, as she manipulates 70 or so bobbins, each wound with a single thread, on a “roller pillow” on her studio table. Gant crosses the bobbins over each other to weave the thread into a recurring pattern held in place by dozens of tiny pins. As soon as the pins become superfluous, they are moved to the front of the next iteration. The completed lace, emerging ever so slowly, seems to be made of air. Gant, of Putnamville, makes the real thing: handkerchiefs so minutely delicate they’re meant only to be framed; silk-thread

calls “the poor man’s lace.” Gant works the history of lace into each of her fair demonstrations and classes, including lessons she gives one-on-one in her home studio. And she has collected enough antique lace and instruments to bring that history to life. She’s got postcards, too, from friends, depicting elderly lacemakers bent over their work. Gant, 61, doesn’t wear glasses, but, true to stereotype, she wears her strawberry-blond hair in a bun. “In its heyday, bobbin lace was so valuable it was smuggled, sometimes in coffins or in jackets with secret pockets,” Gant declares. Extracting from a drawer in her studio a large, pre-World War I collar made in Malta, she points to tiny stitched seams in the piece: Each of its four sections was made by a different person. “They didn’t want any one person to have all the knowledge, because they might bring it somewhere else. Towns depended on that knowledge,” she explains. Lacemaking was spread by word of mouth, Gant continues, so each town developed its own distinct style, as in Chantilly or Bruges lace. Her collection includes several examples of pillows — the lacemaker’s palette — from Denmark

and England; some are roller pillows, which incorporate a bolster on a wheel for producing yardage. And there are antique “prickings,” the patterns of pinholes in a strip of leather or heavy parchment that is wrapped around the bolster. If the queen requested a tablecloth, Gant explains, her designer, always a man, would draw a pattern, but it was up to the women lacemakers to determine how to translate that design into a pricking. “It’s a puzzle,” she says of the process. Gant is helping to catalogue and, eventually, publish Barre Historical Society’s rare collection of more than 150 prickings made by Agnes Klavora, an AustroHungarian who immigrated to Vermont in 1906 and died in the flu epidemic a decade later. Klavora, a lace teacher in Barre, passed her patterns down to her students and, when the last one died, they were put in a box by the curb, destined for the dump. But a friend of Gant’s spotted the box and brought it to the historical society, where Montpelier judge Merideth Wright discovered it in 1991 while doing research for her book, Everyday Dress of Rural America, 17831800. Gant ran into Wright the same day. Gant was the logical person to assess the box’s contents. With a degree in fashion design, the New Jersey native had moved to Putnamville in 1984 (where she and her husband bought Mr. Putnam’s daughter’s

Returning to a piece of edging she is making, Gant crosses groups of bobbins over each other in a system that looks baffling to an outsider. “People always ask me how I have so much patience,” Gant says. “But to me, it doesn’t require patience. It’s fun and relaxing.” > You can visit Evelyn Gant in her studio at 211 Route 12 in Putnamville.

house, she says) and begun studying lacemaking under Katharine Dopp, whom she met at the Shelburne Museum, two years later. Since then, she has taken workshops around Europe and become a regular in the select world of lacemakers. “We’re a tight-knit group; there aren’t many of us,” she laughs. Gant hosts the Vermont Lacers, a group affiliated with the U.S.-based International Old Lacers, about once a month at her house, depending on whether its seven members can brave the weather.

free will astrology RE AL july 31—august 06

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Work can be

hazardous for the actors who portray cartoon and fairy tale characters at Disney theme parks. The U.S. Health and Safety Administration reports that one-third of them have suffered on-the-job injuries. A prime cause of the mayhem: kids who kick and punch, sometimes out of misplaced exuberance and other times out of Lord-of-theFlies-style malice. I wanted to preface my advice to you with that story, Aries. Your assignment this week is to summon the angelic 85 percent of your inner child to come out and play. As for the other 15 percent — the part of your inner child that might be inclined to pummel Mickey Mouse or headbutt Cinderella: Keep that rascal under wraps.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Sometimes

hope is an irrelevant waste of time, even a stupid self-indulgence. Let’s say, for instance, that I’m really hoping that a certain disagreeable person I’ve got to communicate with won’t answer when I call on the phone. That way I can simply leave a message on his voice mail and avoid an unpleasant exchange. But it doesn’t matter what I hope. The guy will either answer or not, regardless of what I want. But there is another kind of hope that’s invigorating and transformative. Let’s say I have a hope that we humans will reverse the environmental catastrophes we’re perpetrating. Let’s say that my hope motivates me to live more sustainably and to inspire others to live more sustainably. Then my hope is a catalyst. Meditate on these things, Taurus. It’s a perfect time for you to get very clear about the two kinds of hope.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20): The Futurist magazine predicts that by 2025, there’ll be a billion millionaires in the world. I hope you will be one of them. If you do end up in that fortunate position, it may well be because of the smart, aggressive actions you initiate in the next four months. Cosmic tendencies are in place for you to ensure your prosperity well into the future; now all you have to do is understand and capitalize on those tendencies. Here’s a good place to start: Spend some quality time taking 1x4-7road 5/26/05 1:02 PM inventory Page 1

of your financial life and brainstorming about a 17-year plan to make you a millionaire.

CANCER

(June 21-July 22): The world record for attaching clothespins to one’s face is 153. Even if you’re tempted to surpass that mark, I beg you not to. Inflicting pain on yourself in order to impress someone or prove a point is never a good idea, but it’s an especially misguided notion right now. I wouldn’t object, however, if you did the opposite, which is to barrage yourself with pleasure in order to impress someone or prove a point. In my astrological opinion, it’s a perfect time to intensify your commitment to making yourself feel good. This is true for many reasons, but here’s one of the most important ones: It will have a magically tonic effect on your relationships with others.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22): I would love to see you walking down the street dressed in a feathered headdress and white boots and leopard-print cashmere pants, plus maybe some scarlet velvet gloves and a silk T-shirt that says, “You don’t scare me.” To present yourself in such a bold and forthright manner would be in perfect alignment with your astrological omens. If that particular form of expression doesn’t feel right to you, please find an equivalent that does.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Could you get ac-

cess to a crane with a wrecking ball? How about a chainsaw or sledgehammer? Metaphorically speaking, you may need some heavy equipment to do all the demolition work that’s necessary right now. Among the structures that could be due for destruction: a mental block you’ve been preserving out of perverse nostalgia; a prison cell you lock yourself inside on your off days; a half-built bridge you’re no longer interested in or capable of completing; a pedestal on which your fallen idol used to stand; and a door you nailed shut in order to seal yourself off from a person with whom you still have unfinished business.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): This is your best chance in a long time to meet people you’ve

always wanted to meet. It’s also a favorable time to turn pretty good connections into excellent collaborations, and to adjust your role in your web of alliances so it’s closer to where you want it to be. None of these fine developments in your social life will magically unfold on their own, however. You can’t just sit back passively and hope that cosmic forces will somehow make them happen. So formulate your intentions crisply and act aggressively to manifest them.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Some bars

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Don’t just

shamble down to the pizzeria and gobble a slab of greasy cheese, tomato sauce and dough. Instead, arrange for an interesting person who likes you to home-deliver a pizza lovingly prepared by a gourmet chef. For that matter, Scorpio, don’t tolerate mediocrity or the lowest common denominator in any area of your life. The Season of the Peak Experience is here — a time when you have a sacred duty to give your best, commune with the highest, and ask for excellence.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): I don’t

recommend that you go on a spiritual retreat at the Zen monastery near Mount Kumgang in North Korea. As exquisite as the place is, the repressive government’s secret police are suspicious of tourists and would probably make your trip miserable. Likewise, don’t take a vacation on the gorgeous beaches of eastern Somalia. Pirates prowl the coastal areas of that lawless land, and anyone can buy a hand grenade for $10 at the outdoor markets in nearby Mogadishu. No, Sagittarius, while it is an excellent time to leave your familiar haunts and expose yourself to exotic scenes, you should be acutely discerning about where you go. In my opinion, you need a sanctuary that simultaneously surprises you and deepens your sense of being at home in the world.

are now charging fines to people who drunkenly puke on their floors. I advise you to stay out of such places in the coming week. Better yet, don’t get so wasted that you hurl anywhere. It’s one of those rare periods when every little sin will be quickly punished, when every excess will provoke an equal and opposite reaction. On the other hand, this is also a time when even minor eruptions of virtue will be immediately rewarded, when every brave act and self-disciplined shift will bring you an opportunity.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Two friends of

mine, a couple engaged to be wed, rode their bicycles for days up the Northern California coast from San Francisco to Oregon. They saw many other riders pedaling from north to south during their trip, but they rarely encountered anyone heading in the same direction they were. Why? The wind was blowing against them the entire way. When they stopped to rest they would sometimes meet and talk with bicyclists whose destination was San Francisco. “Why are you riding against the wind?” the other travelers inevitably wanted to know. My friends enjoyed replying, “We’re building our characters so we’ll be strong enough to stay in love after we’re married.” They’re your role models for the coming weeks, Pisces. Do some against-the-wind work to prepare yourself for your next big assignment, which is to make your intimate relationships more interesting and invigorating and enduring.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “You have to love life when you’re in really deep trouble,” said poet Robin Blaser. So what about if, on the other hand, you’re in only shallow trouble?

�

Do you have a mandate to just sort of like life a little more? Or can you, with a little work, exploit the mild disturbance that the shallow trouble provides in order to dramatically pump up your adoration of life? I hope that your actions in the coming week, Capricorn, will be a big “yes” in response to that question. I’m happy to tell you that you can wangle a big boost from a small inconvenience.

theborowitzreport McCain Makes Historic First Visit to Internet Will Spend Five Days at Key Sites

I

n a daring bid to wrench attention from his Democratic rival in the 2008 presidential race, Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) today embarked on a historic first-ever visit to the Internet. Given that the Arizona Republican had never logged onto the Internet before, advisers acknowledged that his first foray into the World Wide Web was fraught with risk. But with his Democratic rival Barack Obama making headlines with his tour of the Middle East and Europe, the McCain campaign felt that it needed to “come up with something equally bold for John to do,” according to one adviser. McCain aides said that the senator’s journey to the Internet will span five days and will take him to such far-flung sites as Amazon, eBay and Facebook. With a press retinue watching, Sen. McCain logged onto the Internet at 9:00 a.m. Sunday, going first to Mapquest. “I can’t get this [expletive] thing to work,” Sen. McCain said as he struggled with his computer’s mouse, causing his wife, Cindy, to prompt him to add that he was “just kidding.”

Having pronounced his visit to Mapquest a success, Sen. McCain continued his tour by visiting Weather.com and Yahoo! Answers, where he inquired as to the difference between Sunnis and Shiites.

In the days and weeks ahead, you will be seeing me rock out with my new Walkman. SENATOR MCCAIN

Sen. McCain said that he had embarked on his visit to the Internet to allay any fears that he is too outof-touch to be president, adding that he plans to take additional steps to demonstrate that he is comfortable with today’s technology: “In the days and weeks ahead, you will be seeing me rock out with my new Walkman.”

movie reviews Step Brothers HHH

W SEMI-BRO Reilly and Ferrell play arrested development cases who find themselves in a family feud when their single parents tie the knot.

ill Ferrell plus Adam McKay usually equals comedy magic. They made Anchorman and Talladega Nights together, and movies don’t get a whole lot funnier than that. Step Brothers doesn’t come close to attaining the same comic altitude, however, and I think the problem is that Judd Apatow got factored into the equation. On paper, the combination of creative influences might have looked like an inspired idea, but on the screen it proves an unfortunate case of worlds colliding. The styles that have brought McKay and Apatow to prominence don’t have much in common and don’t mesh particularly well. Caught in the artistic crossfire are Ferrell and Talladega costar John C. Reilly. They play a couple of 40-ish arrested-development cases who live with their single parents and have never worked a day in their lives. Ferrell is Brennan. He lives with his mother, a successful businesswoman played by Mary Steenburgen. Reilly is Dale. He’s the spoiled spawn of a well-to-do doctor played by Richard Jenkins. When the mother and father meet, fall in love, and marry, life as the two freeloaders know it is over. Not only will they have to share their parents’ attention with someone else, they’ll also have to share a room. The makers of the movie never quite get around to explaining how it happened that two accomplished professionals allowed their offspring to languish developmentally to such a degree. Nor do they account for the violent and surly dispositions of the overgrown brats. The viewer, it would appear, is simply expected to be content with the improbable spectacle of middle-

aged comedians behaving like pampered 10-year-olds. The first half of the movie has Brennan and Dale at each other’s throats. Reilly’s character, for example, warns Ferrell’s against going anywhere near his precious drum kit. Ferrell responds the way any self-respecting man-child would: He barges into the room where the skins are set up and proceeds to rub his “nutsack” all over them. As the film is produced by Apatow, there is, of course, an actual “nutsack” (presumably made of latex) protruding from Ferrell’s unzipped pants. Another movie milestone for the reigning king of comedy. The picture’s second half sees the simple-minded siblings united by a common disdain for Brennan’s younger brother Derek (Adam Scott, whom you’ll eventually recognize as the delivery room assistant in Knocked Up). He’s everything they’re not — successful, toned, married and overflowing with self-confidence. When Dale punches him in the face, knocking him out of their tree house, Brennan realizes he and his new

roomie aren’t so different after all, and there ensues a series of scenes in which they share their passions for velociraptors, nudie mags, Shark Week and Star Wars. Step Brothers runs only 93 minutes, but it feels substantially longer than that. Too many gags grow old, and the picture runs out of gas for a spell in the second act. Reviewers are always talking about how certain comedies play like “Saturday Night Live” sketches padded and stretched to feature length. This one had me musing, conversely, that it might have made for a gutbusting five or 10 minutes of TV. Ferrell and Reilly have phenomenal chemistry and give the film everything they’ve got. The problem is that the picture’s creators just don’t give them a heck of a lot to work with, beyond the high-concept premise and a lot of gratuitously potty-mouthed dialogue. There’s an everything-but-the-kitchen-sink quality to the humor here. A handful of scenes do work: The one where Brennan and Dale interview for a job tag-team style is an instant classic. The film offers a nonstop barrage of off-the-wall ideas, and occasionally one of them hits its target, as when Dale is forced to see a shrink and, asked for his life story, offers up the plot of Good Will Hunting. These are exceptions, unfortunately. As a rule, Step Brothers doesn’t come close to succeeding. It’s not quite what we’ve come to think of as an Adam McKay film. And it’s far too angry and too much of a cartoon to meet our expectations for a Judd Apatow creation. More than anything, it brings to mind the kind of man-child comedy that was at one time the purview of Adam Sandler. There’s a reason he stopped making those. I’m not sure there’s a good reason why Ferrell and Reilly would start. RICK KISONAK

The X-Files: I Want to Believe HH

F

MONSTER OF THE WEAK With Carter at the helm, Mulder and Scully share one last disjointed adventure.

ull disclosure: I am an “X-Files” fan. I watched every one of the show’s 202 episodes, from the unheralded 1993 pilot to the limping 2002 finale — most on their original air dates. I own the first three seasons on DVD and the 1996 issue of Rolling Stone with David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson cuddling in bed on the cover. (Back then, the notion that the sparring, sexually repressed FBI paranormal investigators might ever get it on generated gigabytes of dial-up Internet discussion.) So I’m sorry to report that this movie isn’t very good. When we do see Mulder and Scully between the sheets — not quite a spoiler, as their relationship was strongly implied by the end of the series — it’s about as sexy as watching your parents’ long-married friends in a post-coital moment. That’s not because the two stars are “old”; it’s because they’ve done this dance too many times before. They could sleepwalk through these roles, and director/co-writer Chris Carter doesn’t give them much else to do. Though Carter created “The X-Files,” he was far from its best writer — that was Darin Morgan, who found ways to make paranoia postmodern and funny. Carter was the idea man, well-intentioned but heavyhanded, and one of his best ideas was to put the words “I Want to Believe” on a UFO poster in Special Agent Fox Mulder’s office. The words “want to” made all the difference. Though he was willing to give benefit of the doubt to pretty much anything, from shape-shifting aliens to bleeding stigmata to killer cockroaches, Mul-

der kept his options open: Like increasing numbers of Americans in the ’90s, he was a believer in search of a solid faith. His partner, by contrast, had two of them, science and Catholicism, which made her considerably more skeptical about zombies and werewolves. Rather than try to resolve the show’s hopelessly snarled “mythology” — the alien invasion involving corn and bees that was supposed to happen by 2012, or maybe not — Carter has crafted a modest, self-contained story that returns to that central issue of belief. Scully has left the Bureau and is practicing medicine at a Catholic hospital, where she’s contacted by an agent (a wooden Amanda Peet), who wants her to enlist Mulder’s help in dealing with an informant. Father Crissman (Billy Connolly) may or may not be having psychic visions that could help save an abducted woman. Since he’s a defrocked priest and convicted pedophile, Scully wants nothing to do with him, while Mulder insists the truth may come from unlikely sources. Lather, rinse, repeat. Part of the problem with this story is that it’s sloppily plotted, as if Carter and co-writer Frank Spotnitz had no idea how to stretch a 43-minute TV episode — which this essentially is — to feature length. They do their best to offer up everything fans could conceivably want: tense moments, gross-out thrills, philosophical arguments and tender moments between the two leads. In the process, they lose focus. Though a few scenes rise to the queasy intensity of vintage “X-Files” — when Anderson argues

with Connolly, or the villain (Callum Keith Rennie, the scary Cylon from “Battlestar Galactica”) stalks a new victim — they don’t hang together, and the film builds to a laughable climax. If nothing else, it shows that a badge-less Mulder can’t do much crime fighting with just his sarcastic delivery. More importantly, that sexual tension thing aside, the characters don’t seem to have, well, changed. Scully’s desire to renew her faith so she can help a young patient is touching. But when she asks Mulder not to make her “look into the darkness” anymore, her concern seems a bit belated: Given all they’ve seen and suffered — near-death experiences, bereavement, alieninduced cancer, alien-induced pregnancy, you name it — these two should be battling post-traumatic stress together, not having the same old arguments. With urgent new conspiracy theories swirling around us, you’d think “The X-Files” could thrive in the post-9/11 world. Instead, it’s become a period piece. MARGOT HARRISON

This flick is an absolute mess, With Oedipus themes and incest. Still the plot is a bore, Such a waste for Moore; To sit this one out I think best.

ocal food is irreplaceable, but sometimes even the most passionate advocate of “eating where you liveâ€? feels a temptation to taste someone else’s terroir. With the price of jet fuel hitting all-time highs, the cheapest way to travel is through the taste buds — by sampling ale brewed in an ancient Belgian monastery, or dreaming of the desert while sprinkling hand-ground African spice blends into a stew. Or basting a roasting chicken with the freshest cold-pressed olive oil from a small farm. Providing such authentic — i.e., artisanal, small-batch — imported foods from Italy is the raison d’être of Verde Montagne Imports & Travel. In a converted house in Shelburne, up a narrow, creaky flight of stairs above Ink. Ink. Fine Stationery, a little slice of “the bootâ€? awaits. Unlike larger importers, Verde Montagne, which opened here in early July, uses just one source. It offers a small but impeccable selection of products from a single, organic-certified Italian farm, inn and restaurant — Fattoria Lischeto — located just outside the Tuscan town of Volterra. The family-run farm operates on renewable energy, working on the principle that healthy land,

NOTES ON THE WEEKEND, our email newsletter, for an update that directs you to great shows, restaurants, staff picks and discounts for the weekend.

Huff says. While a taste of organic Tuscany isn’t exactly a bargain — a half-liter of olive oil costs $18.95, and the cheeses range from $19 to $22 dollars a pound — the prices don’t seem unreasonable, either. “To be honest with you,� Huff explains, “they’re a couple of dollars below market value. I choose to make less of a profit margin.� Looking relaxed and tan, Huff appears almost too young to be the owner of a high-end retail storefront as well as a budding wholesale distribution biz, called DM Huff Organics. But he can talk the talk. “I am my own distributor,� he says, “and that translates into price and quality for the consumer. When products come right from the source to the shelf and there’s no middle man, everybody benefits.� Huff inherited his business sense from his dad and his grandfather, who owned a shipping company. With a history degree from the University of Kentucky and some work for his father under his belt, Huff decided to follow his entrepreneurial instincts and launch his own company.

It’s easy to read, it links me to some of the coolest stuff, and it tempts me to address my cabin fever and actually DO something this weekend. It’s well designed, and tempting. Thanks for putting it together. I’m going to forward it to my sweetie and find some fun.� — Susanna Weller, Starksboro

healthy animals and healthy people are inextricably connected. And owner David M. Huff, 30, can tell you all about it. He got to know Fattoria Lischeto and its second-generation owner, Giovanni Cannas, through his father, G.M. Huff, who organizes group trips to Italy. After discovering the farm nearly 10 years ago, the elder Huff began including it as a stop on his customized tours. “He was absolutely blown away by the quality of food and the service,� his son recalls. “[Cannas] brings them in, shows them the cheese, and cooks for them. It’s a real hands-on experience.� But it’s luxurious, too. The rustic, renovated farmhouse boasts an in-ground swimming pool, terraces overlooking rolling hillsides and outdoor casks used for skin-nourishing milk baths. The small Shelburne outlet for Fattoria Lischeto’s products is tidy and organized, furnished with a combination of modern wood shelving units and a few antique desks and tables. The walls bear owner Huff’s accomplished photographs, taken during his extensive travels in Italy. There are shots of the countryside, the Coliseum and boats in Venetian canals. On one set of shelves, deep-green bottles of unfiltered, estate-bottled

Pecorino Balze Volterrane: Young and grainy, with pleasant barnyard aromas. Coated in olive oil and olive-tree ash. Aged 60 days and then matured in oak barrels. Pecorino Rosso Volterrano: Piquant and full-flavored cheese. Rubbed with a thin layer of olive oil and tomato paste. Aged 60-120 days. Pecorino Maschio: Amber, nutty and dry, with a good bit of salinity. Rubbed with olive oil “sludge.� Cave-aged for more than 180 days. Pecorino degli Sposi: Mild and delicate, with a lower fat content, but still creamy. Aged 60-120 days. Tomini al Farro: Subtle, springy fresh ewe’s milk cheese studded with nutty wheat groats. Not aged. Tricotta Divina: A delicate yet dense, fresh cheese made from whey and baked for several hours. Not aged. Gold-medal winner at Formaggi Vincitori BioCaseus, an annual, international organic cheese competition.

olive oil stand in serene rows. Samples come from a cruet filled with the thick liquid. Nearby sit jars of viscous golden honey in two varieties — acacia and wildflower. On an antique table, half-wheels of various Pecorino cheeses rest under glass domes beside clusters of grapes, looking like still-lifes in a museum. Finally, non-edible cosmetics boast some of the same ingredients as the food. Soap, lotion and “body shampoo� get their rich texture from olive oil and sheep’s milk, scented with natural fragrances. Customers can sample any of the artisan offerings, including slices of cheese cut from fresh wedges kept refrigerated in the back room, before they opt to buy. “I have a tremendous amount of confidence that once people try the products they’ll be coming back in the door,�

thing,� Huff explains. Why formaggio? “I’m passionate about traveling, and I really love food.� Huff’s business comprises two distinct branches. Via DM Huff Organics, he supplies Fattoria Lischeto’s cosmetics and comestibles to grocery stores and restaurants, mainly in his native New Jersey. He calls this the heart of his operation, and hopes to eventually expand it nationwide: “The idea is to stretch ourselves across the United States, from New York to L.A.� But no matter how big his business gets, Huff emphasizes, he plans to keep its home base in Vermont. Not for nothing did he name his business the Italian version of “green mountain.� During childhood visits to his family’s vacation home in Chester,

Huff relates, “I absolutely fell in love with the state. After college, I was convinced that I was going to move somewhere in Vermont, and I felt that the Burlington area had everything I wanted.� Now, when he’s not infiltrating markets around the nation, Huff is offering his premium products to the community he’s chosen as his home. Because Huff holds an exclusive agreement to carry the Italian farm’s creations in New England, Verde Montagne is the only place in the region to try the pungent Pecorino Rosso, rubbed with a mixture of farm-grown-tomato paste and olive oil. Or the freshtasting baked ricotta, which is sublimely drizzled with fragrant, perfumed wildflower honey. When a couple of customers wander in — a Charlotte woman and her college-aged daughter, fresh from a year-long stint in Italy — Huff offers to slice some bread so they can try the oil. “That’s really good olive oil,� mom Irene Horbar raves. And these two are connoisseurs: Horbar says a childhood visit to an Italian oil press sparked her daughter Marie’s fascination with the culture. “We order olive oil from California,� she tells Huff. “Your product is so amazing, I’d pay anything for it.� That’s just the sort of response Huff is hoping for, as he seeks a gourmet-minded clientele. Right now, he sells some award-winning ricotta to the Shelburne Supermarket, and he hopes to expand into stores such as City Market and Healthy Living, as well as restaurants with fine cheese lists. So far, Huff hasn’t engaged in any “aggressive marketing� in the area, he says, and he doesn’t see his wares as rivals to local organic products. “I really respect the whole ‘eat local’ thing, and I think the Vermont Fresh Network is great — I’m not looking to compete with that at all,� he assures. “There’s nobody who makes Pecorino cheese or baked ricotta in Vermont.� The way he sees it, his goal is simple: to provide distinctive products to a community with a deep appreciation for delicious food stuffs and for the care and thought that goes into everything Fattoria Lischeto produces. But to get locals talking about Tomini al Farro, a cheese studded with wheat groats, or Pecorino Balze Volterrano, which is coated in ash and olive oil and aged for 60 days, Huff must first get them in the door. And he’s the first to admit that his second-floor location is a deterrent. “They can’t see into it. It’s a challenge to get people to come into a space they can’t see,� he says. But Huff quickly admits he likes challenges: “I think they’re fun. Why make it easy?� Another hurdle: the language barrier between him and his sole supplier. “[Cannas’] English is a little challenging; my Italian is a little challenging,� Huff says with a sigh. “It’s a learning curve.� But if he sometimes has trouble making himself understood overseas, the tastes of wildflower honey and straw-colored, nutty Pecorino Maschio speak for themselves. >

Republic Overthrown? BIG CHILE CLOSES ITS DOORS — WITH NO EXPLANATION

What’s up with Big Chile Republic? The flavorful restaurant, famed for fusion dishes with Filipino flair, has mysteriously locked its doors. For the past week, folks in search of cauliflower cakes, seafood mousse tostada and roasted adobo chicken have been frustrated to find the Colchester eatery closed for business. Monday, in the midst of what would usually be the dinner rush, the restaurant was dark and deserted, save for a few stray cookies and a half-drunk bottle of Coke on the counter. No explanation. No “Be Back Soon� sign. Numerous calls to Manager Mark Gauthier and Chef Chris Hechanova were not returned.

Limited Pastabilities SMALL BIZ CALLS IT QUITS

For years, Kevin and Nancy DelMastro of Essex’s Anything’s Pastable have whipped up pasta by hand and sold it to local restaurants and retail stores. Now, with the costs of staples and shipping steadily increasing, the couple is closing the business and moving on to other things. Kevin reports that the cost of flour has risen by 300 percent of late; cheese and eggs are up nearly 90 percent. To stay afloat “with those increases,� he explains, “we would basically have to quadruple our sales volume or increase our prices by 50 to 80 percent.� Their crab-and-shrimp, basil ricotta and roasted-butternut-squash ravioli may be tasty and gourmet, but bumping the price wouldn’t fly, he admits. “Even at the current price point, there’s resistance during the current economy. In people’s minds, pasta is supposed to be a really cheap meal.� Chef Dan Rainville, of Shore Acres Inn and Restaurant in North Hero, stocked up on Anything’s Pastable product when he heard the news. He bought enough to get him through the restaurant’s summer season. For next year, he muses, “I guess I’ll just look for the next small guy. I think it’s worth it to keep it in Vermont.� For the DelMastros, it’s on to other ventures. Nancy, who’s been working another job all these years, will stick with that. Kevin is returning to an old employer, in plastics. Here’s to you, Mr. Robinson!

Cheese Awards VERMONTERS GET KUDOS FOR CURDS

Each summer, the American Cheese Society shells out “best ofâ€? prizes in more categories than the average mozzarella muncher can imagine: For example, there’s an award for “cheeses flavored with peppers (sweet, savory, jalapeĂąos, chipotles, etc.), mustard, olives, wasabi, onion, garlic or spice.â€? What a mouthful! This year, as always, Vermont creameries went away with numerous accolades, including 33 first-, second- and third-place ribbons. Cabot Creamery Cooperative and Vermont Butter & Cheese Co. were big winners, as always, but a few smaller producers, such as the folks from Consider Bardwell Farm of West Pawlet, were also recognized. See the Omnivore blog for a complete list of winners.

Crumbs LEFTOVER FOOD NEWS

You’re not alone if you’ve been missing the Hong’s Chinese Dumplings cart, which sets up in front of Borders on Church Street. For three years running, in 2005, ’06 and ’07, Seven Days readers voted the savory snacks the area’s hottest “street food.� They’re best slathered with owner Hong Yu’s homemade ginger garlic soy sauce or hot chili oil. So why have the dumplings disappeared? According to Yu, a misunderstanding with the Vermont Health Department is to blame. Because

she couldn’t do all of her preparation on her licensed cart, she was making some of her food at home. “They never told me I needed a license,â€? she laments. “I’ve been doing this for almost nine years. It is always very clean. Every morning I cook things fresh.â€? Now Yu can’t vend until a representative from the health department visits her home and certifies her kitchen. She isn’t sure when that will be. “I feel very sad,â€? Yu says. “I miss my customers, but I don’t want to do something illegal.â€? She plans to reopen on Church Street as soon as she gets the health department’s go-ahead. Eventually, though, Yu would love to open a small “dumpling house.â€? “It’s very tough on Church Street,â€? she asserts. “I’m getting older now; my shoulder hurts and my back hurts.â€? Inside, without a heavy cart to push around and set up day after day, Yu thinks she could “work more, and maybe hire somebody. It would look like a Chinese house inside. It would be cute,â€? she concludes. Ay Ay Ay! On July 23, despite drizzly weather, crowds converged at 7 a.m. — three hours early — to wait in line for a taste of “double-decker tacosâ€? and nacho cheese gorditas at the opening of Rutland Town’s new Taco Bell. According to a report in the Rutland Herald, by lunchtime the wait at the drive-through was 50 minutes long. Until last week, the chain’s Dorset Street location was the only one in Vermont. But Taco Bell’s corporate bigwigs plan to remedy the dearth soon; they have plans to open five quasi-Mexican eateries in the Green Mountains. For now, fans of the “Spicy Chicken Crunchwrap Supremeâ€? are waiting with bated breath to learn which towns they’ll choose. ÂĄEllos quieren Taco Bell! Folks who suspect that the chile-slinging eatery might be behind the recent salmonella poisonings can set their minds at ease and go chew a chalupa. The Taco Bell website reports: “Food safety is our top priority. The CDC and FDA have recently advised against eating raw jalapeĂąos. We do not serve raw jalapeĂąos. Our jalapeĂąos are pickled and packaged, and they are not related to the jalapeĂąos the CDC is investigating.â€? Phew! Wanna buy a catering company? Roy St. Pierre, of 13-year-old St. Pierre’s Catering, is packing up and moving to warmer climes and hopes to sell his biz. In addition to traditional catering, St. Pierre runs the cafĂŠ at Higher Ground, serving up Caribbean jerk chicken sandwiches and beer-battered fries with cheese sauce to hungry show-goers. He’s also catered backstage for the likes of Lyle Lovett and Ringo Starr. He’s still part-owner of the restaurant, but Craig Tresser, formerly co-chef at highly acclaimed Hen of the Wood at the Grist Mill, has moved on to a non-culinary job, confirms co-owner and Executive Chef Eric Warnstedt. Why? In part, because Tresser and his wife have a “bun in the oven.â€? “It’s all good stuff,â€? Warnstedt suggests. “He wanted to start a family and have a normal life. Things are kind of crazy around here.â€? Replacing Tresser in the role of sous chef is Phillip Clayton, who used to be sous at Trattoria Delia. “He’s been here for a month. It’s going well,â€? Warnstedt reports. Lots of restaurants are closing their doors due to the tough economy. But despite a padlock on the gate, Tantra on Church Street in Burlington isn’t one of them. So says owner Manatat Waiwong, who is currently traveling in Thailand. She claims it will reopen on August 4, when she returns.

< food> Fat Flack

Does WALL-E feed obesity stereotypes?

s glowing reviews and booming box office returns greet the movie WALL-E, Pixar’s summer release has also inspired an unusual outpouring of debate over the animated feature’s message. Much of the story — warning: spoilers ahead — unfolds wordlessly, which perhaps abets multiple interpretations. A cautionary tale

anything for themselves, because robots meet their every need. People move around seated in giant lounge chairs, laden with remote controls, and interact through monitors floating in front of them. Cheery billboards remind them to consume — Lunch in a Cup! Cupcake in a Cup! Food comes in Big Gulp-like containers, which overtly mimic the color and design of 7-11’s infamous

I’m not certain Engber and Wann saw the same movie I did. In fact, I’m pretty sure Wann didn’t see WALL-E at all. For starters, Axiom’s residents are fastidiously tidy, with plenty of time for primping while a fleet of robots rigorously cleans the ship. Axiom’s inhabitants live shiny, neat and in-control lives, and keep themselves very busy with recreational pursuits. Their eating habits — admittedly bad,

about the dangers of overconsumption, or a fable about the human need to connect? Within the debate, a nasty food fight has erupted over the depiction of people and their eating habits 700 years in the future. I took in a recent screening to evaluate some of the angrier accusations against Pixar. In the midst of a childhood obesity epidemic, does a kids’ movie really ridicule fat folks? Does it blame the planet’s demise on an addiction to junk food? In the story, plucky WALL-E is the last robot left on Earth’s post-apocalyptic landscape. The trash-compactor dutifully piles garbage — largely the detritus of global mega-corporation Buy N Large — into giant towers. Humans have evacuated the planet seven centuries earlier on BNL’s space cruise ship, Axiom, after the atmosphere became too toxic to support life. A resilient cockroach buddy (who sleeps in a Twinkie) and a videotape of Hello, Dolly help WALL-E stave off loneliness. When a sleek robot named EVE arrives by spaceship from Axiom, WALL-E is smitten. The musical’s scenes of singing, dancing and romancing have made him yearn for companionship. Once EVE fulfills her mission on Earth, the spaceship takes her “home,� to Axiom. As it departs, the lovelorn WALL-E latches onto the outside of the ship and hangs on until it docks. The humans on Axiom are fat. Not just a little chunky, but chin-melting-into-the-neck big. They don’t walk, work or do

supersized beverages. People enjoy constant pampering at robot beauty salons, but the red and blue unitards don’t conceal their considerable curves. Brief glimpses of historical images show normal body sizes when humans first arrived in space. Clearly, they’ve evolved their amorphous shape over centuries. “The new Pixar movie goes out of its way to equate obesity with environmental collapse,� screams the headline of Daniel Engber’s recent column in Slate. The online magazine’s associate editor interprets WALL-E’s message as: “If we don’t change the way we live, we’ll all get really fat and destroy the world.� Citing a stream of recent research that counters conventional scientific understanding of obesity, he dismisses and decries “Pixar’s dystopic vision of our fat future, in which puffed-up bodies are played for cheap laughs.� Even more outraged are the doyennes of the “fat acceptance� movement, which rejects weight loss and celebrates large bodies. They started complaining to Disney months before the film’s release, based on reports from early test screenings, about what they perceived as fat bashing in WALL-E. Activist Marilyn Wann, publisher of the magazine Fat!So?, told the Sunday Telegraph of London earlier this month, “It’s the classic stereotype that fat people are stupid, smelly, lazy, disgusting and out of control . . . Pixar should be out of business for portraying this level of prejudicial bigotrymongering.�

from our perspective — result from BNL’s all-encompassing corporate domination rather than gluttony. In fact, obesity itself never becomes a target of humor in WALL-E. The average TV sit-com episode has more fat jokes before the first commercial break. Prolonged time in space explains the change in size and shape. In one scene, Axiom’s captain (voiced by actor Jeff Garlin) reviews a brief video from BNL’s CEO, who diagrams how the skeleton becomes skimpy the longer the humans are removed from Earth’s gravity. WALL-E director Andrew Stanton drew on NASA research about theoretical extended Mars missions, disuse atrophy and osteoporosis to create the Jello-like visual, he recounts in an interview with ComingSoon.net. “I actually tried to avoid obesity. I wanted blobs, I wanted babies,â€? Stanton recalls. Technology means people “have everything solved for them. We don’t have to farm anymore, we don’t have do all these things that make us get up and survive.â€? Progress, not laziness, leads to their predicament. Watching the movie, I listened closely for any laughter directed at the fat characters. There was none at the Friday matinĂŠe showing I attended in Williston, with an audience ranging in age from toddlers to grandparents. When the lights came up, I chatted with the family of five from Vergennes sitting in front of me: Christopher and Karen White

he year 1918 was eventful: Color movies were invented, the armistice ending World War I was signed, the Red Sox won the World Series and, notably for Vermonters, the Berlin-based Wayside Restaurant & Bakery opened its doors for the first time. Last Friday was the restaurant’s 90th birthday, and to celebrate nearly a century of hardy, stick-to-your-ribs chow, the Wayside turned back the clock to the good ol’ days of 20-cent hotdogs, 10-cent sodas and 15-cent ice cream. Needless to say, there wasn’t an empty seat — or belly — in the house. After waiting in line under the Wayside’s vintage 1960s neon sign, my friend and I found a suitable two-person booth and started poring over the generously priced menu. Even though hotdogs, ice cream and soda were the only items offered at the old-timey rates, a $3.50 steakburger with cheese seemed like it would complement our meal nicely without burning a hole in our wallets. And how about some fries?

and their three daughters, Anna, 14, Sarah, 11, and Hailey, 9. Hailey crystallized the family’s review of the movie: “It was really funny!� The Whites expressed genuine surprise when I described the controversy. The depiction of overweight characters made Christopher feel “empathy, because there was a certain sadness to it,� he said. “They’ve been blinded by the big business and their consumer message,� with virtual-reality screens in front of them, and have “lost their way.� The movie doesn’t make obesity the “focus of ridicule,� Christopher pointed out. “On the contrary, it says, ‘We are subject to outside influences.’ And sometimes we don’t have the good judgment to stand up and say, ‘No, this is not the person I want to be.’� Christopher said he thinks WALL-E is a satirical cautionary tale, “a worst-case scenario of what some of our bad habits could progress to if gone unchecked.� But he added enthusiastically, “It was done with great humor and warmth. And ultimately there was a redeeming factor of our having enough awareness to see how far we had fallen and to take the Earth back and start again afresh, learning from our lessons.� For Karen, the environmental theme was trumped by something else. “The people got that way not just from eating everything in a cup, but it was their lack of engagement with everything,� she remarked. “When there was an opportunity to be startled out of that . . . the human spirit will prevail.� A lesson that robots, ironically, teach the people. Like the Whites, I enjoyed the film immensely. As someone who has wrestled with weight and body-image demons her whole life, I have no tolerance for mocking the serious issues surrounding food, fitness and being fat. WALL-E didn’t do that. It did remind me, however, that I spend too much time in front of my own virtual-reality screen — my computer. And the scenes of WALL-E reaching out to hold EVE’s “hand,� I’ll admit, actually put a lump in my throat. >

The smell of the fryer must have drifted all the way to the Statehouse, because as we waited for our grease, Governor Douglas stopped by to wish the Wayside a happy birthday and re-light the neon sign. I couldn’t tell what he ordered after flipping the switch, but by that time our smorgasbord had arrived and I wasn’t thinking about anything else. My friend and I took a conversational hiatus to devote ourselves to the food. We maybe gave each other a nod as we sipped our Cokes, but otherwise the fare kept us quiet and content. Each bite of the hotdog was better than the last, and the steakburger, which came in a sliced butter roll, melted in my mouth. Later, we finished up with some 15-cent pistachio ice cream. Without including the items at 2008 prices, our bill was a whopping 90 cents. Not only did I feel full, I felt rich. It was a little hard to stand up afterward, but I managed. I licked the meal’s final taste from my lips and finagled my way through the line still extending out the door. With good food and loyal customers like that, I’m not expecting this place to fall by the “wayside� anytime soon. > 2x4(bw)-7drecycle.indd 1

As the World Turns BY DAN BOLLES

I

n the ever-expanding landscape of “world music,” few performers are as widely recognized or revered as Malian guitarist Habib Koité. While many international artists reside fleetingly on the fringes of American popularity — think WXPN’s “World Café” — Koité’s impact has been substantial and far-reaching. The 50-year-old songwriter has performed more than 1000 shows over the last 15 years and has landed in the pages of such estimable U.S. publications as Rolling Stone and Vanity Fair. His exotic blend of traditional Malian rhythms and melodies with more modern influences such as blues, jazz and rock has endeared him

to legions of fans around the globe. So has his unique pentatonic-tuned, open-string guitar style, which he modeled after the African kamale n’goni. In the States, Koité counts such artists as Bonnie Raitt and Jackson Browne among his ardent admirers. Both have made numerous onstage appearances with the singer — Koité appeared on Raitt’s 2002 album Silver Lining, singing “Back Around,” a tune he cowrote with the American pop icon. Following the release of Koité’s second album Ma Ya in 1998 — which burned up College Music Journal’s World charts — he became one of the first African artists to appear on “Late Night with David Letterman.” Last fall, Koité released Afriki,

his fourth studio album with backing band Bamada and his first for Vermont-based imprint Cumbancha — much of the album was recorded at Charles Eller Studios in Charlotte. The critically acclaimed effort was his first since 2001’s Bayo, and has reestablished Koité as one of world music’s most brightly shining stars. Seven Days recently caught up with him by phone in Brussels in advance of his upcoming Burlington performance. SEVEN DAYS: Tell me about your early experiences as a young artist in Mali. What types of venues did you play? What were your stomping grounds like?

HABIB KOITÉ: In Mali, we sit down and drink tea in the afternoon. We don’t move very fast, like you in America. People have time to stay and sit and drink tea. So I would play a lot when we would sit and drink tea. I played all the time. I always had a guitar in my hands. After dark, I would play in a club. I played in clubs for fifteen years. A lot of clubs. Seven nights a week. It was a great time for me because I played a lot of different types of music. I would play in restaurants, I would play in clubs. And in each type of place, people would ask me if I could play a different type of music and I’d try to play it. If I couldn’t at the moment, I’d say “OK, next week.” >> 15B

MY KINGDOM FOR SOME ROCK

FOLK YOU

Is it me, or does summer seem to be speeding by much more quickly than usual this year? It feels like only a couple of weeks ago I announced the preliminary lineup and ticket sales info for this weekend’s Northeast Kingdom Music Festival at the Chilly Ranch in Albany, VT. And yet here we are, mere days away from one of the more hotly anticipated weekends of the year. Time flies, I guess. The lineup for this year’s installment, the sixth annual, is once again excellent and MR. LIF characteristically eclectic. In a slight strategic shift, there is no “big-nameâ€? headliner, per se — previous years have seen acts such as Gogol Bordello and Fishbone grace the stage. Still, Langdon Street CafĂŠ booking man Ed DuFresne has done it again, funneling some of the venue’s best and brightest northward — hence, LSC is closed for the weekend, since there’s no one left in town to play. The more notable bands this year include SoCal Americana trio The Devil Makes Three, Austin songwriter Danny Schmidt, NYC funk-rock ensemble The Screaming Headless Torsos, Mr. Lif of Boston’s indie hip-hop supergroup The Perceptionists, Afro-beat collective The Superpowers, also of Beantown, as well as Western, Mass., Americana outfits The Amity Front and Rusty Belle. While the national and regional talent taking top billing this year promises to be pretty swell, a wealth of local(ish) talent fills out the lineup. Pseudo-local indie-dance faves The Mathematicians, bluegrass-cum-electric rock trio The Powder Kegs — with a new album in tow — and Boston-by-way-of-Vermont honky-punkers Pariah Beat are slated to appear. For strictly localvore options, funky fusionists Vorcza, Northfield rockers In This Century and indie-funk upstarts Evan Crandle & The Too Hot to Handle should slake your thirst for some down-home rockin’. And don’t forget 12-year-old spoon prodigy Jan M. Meese. Yes, spoon prodigy, though the lad is quite a songwriter and guitarist, too. Kids these days. The fun starts this Friday and continues until the wee hours of Saturday night/Sunday morning. Camping is available. Visit www. nekmf.com for more info on the fest, to purchase tickets and get directions. The latter is strongly recommended since a few ne’er-dowell locals seem to screw with signage pointing the way each year. Rednecks these days.

If free-for-all freak-outs like NEKMF aren’t your thing but you’re still looking for something festival-ish to do this weekend, take heart. This Friday marks the start of the 25th annual Champlain Valley Folk Festival at Kingsland Bay State Park in Ferrisburgh. And in honor of the quarter-century milestone, they’re pulling out all the stops and rockin’, er, folkin’ out hard. Is “folkin’ out hardâ€? really a phrase? Moving on . . . Over the years, CVFF has built a national reputation as one of the premier folk and traditional music celebrations not sponsored by Dunkin’ Donuts. (Point of order: I frequently rip on the Newport Folk Festival for their caffeinated corporate underwriter, but have just learned that the fest folks have ditched double D in favor of T-Mobile and Paste magazine, among others. Now all they need is some folk music — Jimmy effing Buffett and The Black Crowes? Really?) Back to the point — and for good this time — for two-and-a-half decades, VT folk fans have counted themselves fortunate to have such a high-caliber showcase in their collective backyard. And this year’s has the makings of a marvelous celebration of acoustic music, homemade sundresses and guys with big, bushy beards. Headliners include QuĂŠbecois trio Genticorum, rodeo sweethearts The Sweetback Sisters, Celtic fusion outfit Millish, Brooklyn-by-way-of-Bulgaria songwriter Vlada Tomova, and Norway’s Benedicte Maurseth. As always, the backbone of the festival is the incredible sampling of local options. This year, Miriam Bernardo’s Latin-folk ensemble Amapola, swingin’ daddy-o Lewis Franco & The Missing Cats, Rebecca Hall and Ken Anderson’s revered folk duo Hungrytown and blues-harp whiz Mark Lavoie lead a remarkable collection of local, um, folk lending their voices to the cause. In all, the three-day fest boasts more than 30 bands and artists from across the multilayered spectrum of folk and traditional music. Additionally, there will be crafting workshops and vendors, an enormous dance tent and a variety of ethnic food options. And you just can’t beat the lakeside setting, especially if you’re camping out.

THE

First up, the boys from Lotus Entertainment are throwing yet another boat bash, following last month’s Scarface-themed party aboard the Spirit of Ethan Allen 3. This time around it’s “The Lipstick Loungeâ€? and features a Roaring Twenties theme. Beats will be provided courtesy of DJs Fattie B, J2, A-Dog and MontrĂŠal turntablist Killa Jewel. Quick question: Did they have hip-hop in the 1920s? The SEA3 boards this Friday at 9:30 p.m. I’m not exactly sure what a “bass battleâ€? is. But there is one happening this Wednesday night at Nectar’s as California bass marvel David Hull and local bass badass Aram Bedrosian square off for an evening of low-end one-upsmanship. Bedrosian is currently favored at 3-1 odds. The John Fogerty concert originally scheduled for Monday, August 4 at the Shelburne Museum has been moved to Wednesday, August 13. No offhand quip needed. On the heels of the sold-out Immortal Technique show a couple of weeks ago, central VT hip-hop promoters Halogen Records welcome Bay Area underground sensations Hieroglyphics to the 802 this Sunday at the Higher Ground Ballroom. Seattle’s Blue Scholars, Cali’s Knowbody, Vegas high-roller Musab and Brooklyn trio Tanya Morgan open the show. Word. Speaking of Higher Ground, on Wednesday, August 6, In Memory of Pluto returns to action after a lengthy layoff as part of the ongoing Northern Exposure series in the Showcase Lounge. Oddly, their hiatus roughly coincided with a less-than-favorable review of their debut EP, written by yours truly. Hope it wasn’t something I said. Actually, it might have been. The boys have been hard at work on a proper followup at Wasted City Studios. Welcome back, guys. This just in: Local pop prince Gregory Douglass has been hard at work on a new album and has enlisted the help of none other than Ms. Grace Potter on backing vocals. Expect an official release in March 2009. Expect a collective groan from the indier-than-thou hipster set right about . . . now. Finally, the Tick Tick kids are at it again. This time around, Burlington’s reigning arbiters of awesome are presenting Baltimore dream-folk collective Small Sur for a “sunset setâ€? on the patio of Burlington crĂŞperie The Skinny Pancake, on Wednesday, August 6. You could also swing by the lakeside joint the night before and catch local bluegrass outfit The Medicinals, who are wrapping up a summer-long sunset set residency. Wow. That was fun. >

SMALL SUR

AND NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT It seems I may have been a little overzealous in this week’s festival coverage and just blew roughly two-thirds of my column space. And there’s still so much more to say. Toward that end, allow me to put the “bite� back in Soundbites.

SON OF INVENTION :: Dweezil Zappa, the eldest son of late, great avant-garde rock composer Frank Zappa, has undoubtedly gotten a lot of mileage out of his famous surname. But to dismiss the musician, actor and one-time MTV VJ as merely being “famous for being famous” would be a mistake. Exhibit A: Zappa Plays Zappa, the traveling tribute to his iconic father. Zappa the younger faithfully recreates dear ol’ dad’s mind-blowing compositions with the help of some very talented friends — not the least of which is guitarist Ray White, a longtime member of Frank’s touring bands. Pay your respects this Saturday at the Higher Ground Ballroom.

MIKE GORDON, THE GREEN SPARROW

THE DEVIL MAKES THREE, THE DEVIL MAKES THREE (Milan, CD)

(Rounder Records, CD)

I’ve never been shy about declaring my dislike for Phish music. But despite my personal taste, I usually follow that statement by complimenting the band members on their obvious musical talent. So I eagerly listened to Mike Gordon’s newest foray into post-Phish music, interested to see if his unique talents would deliver him from the shadow of the jam-band legends. The sad reality is: no. At least, not yet. Gordon is a bass player. During performances with Phish and various side projects over more than 20 years, he perfected his command of this instrument. In making the transition to songwriting, though, he falls short. Perhaps it’s not fair to compare his experienced instrumental and nascent lyrical gifts, but such will surely be the instinct of Phish fans, especially whem the two are showcased side by side. After all, the first featured bass line occurs only eight seconds into The Green Sparrow, and there is no shortage of them throughout the disc. For this project, Gordon worked for a year and a half experimenting with techniques and writing an incredible 60-plus songs. He then narrowed that number down to the 10 included here. If Gordon had instead written 10 songs and spent a year and a half fine-tuning them, the results might have been more impressive. Gordon is known to have an offbeat sensibility with words, as his published works have shown. In “Radar Blip,” he conjures a metaphor for thinking against the grain: “Every time I travel to a new city / I go on my run every day / Often there’s a sidewalk where I send my running feet / This time I think I’ll run a different way.” While the comparison is creative, it takes too long for Gordon to make his point, and the listener is left confused. Unfortunately, it’s not the only baffling track. In addition, the lyrics seem flat not just in tone but in delivery throughout the album. This style suits the more melancholy songs, especially “Pretend,” but does not work in the upbeat numbers, such as opening track “Another Door.” Mike Gordon is a talented musician, and there’s no question that establishing an individual career is difficult when one has long been part of a successful group. While there’s work to be done in his lyrical writing and delivery, most listeners will nonetheless applaud Gordon’s bold experimentation and bravery in stepping outside his traditional role. No doubt he’ll continue to write songs, and they will improve. Whether his songs will be featured in the rumored Phish reunion or in another solo effort remains to be seen.

BRIDGET M. BURNS

It’s unclear whether the Devil is a member of or merely an influence on the vintage-blues twang of Sacramento’s plucky trio The Devil Makes Three. Either way, the group gives it hell on its self-titled debut fulllength recording. The austere collection of older studio work exalts flying bullets, jagged hearts and morning whiskeys. It is unlikely the three are as fond of liquor as their work suggests — no veritable persons of drink could arrange guitar parts this delicately systematized. Lavishly ornate arrangements such as “Graveyard” and “Ten Feet Tall” are cornerstones of the disc. When queued up with a few of their stylishly impish tales, the band’s music creates a nicely demonic feel. “Starts off / Just some whiskey and wine,” hollers front man Pete Bernard in “Graveyard.” “Ends in a dark corridor / There ain’t no windows / There ain’t no doors.” The band has an exceptional sense of tempo. Bernard and fellow guitarist Cooper McBean time each track with dexterity so precise that the absence of any frontward percussion is immaterial. “Old Number Seven,” which both refers to and reveres Tennessee’s finest — Jack Daniel’s — moves at brimming, campfire cadence. Regrettably, stand-up bassist Lucia Turino does not appear much as a vocalist until the album’s closing stages. The three create a nice harmonic enclave in moments. Turino is quite audible on the record’s live performances, which are incorporated somewhat clumsily in a “Bonus Tracks” section. Cuts like “Dynamite” and “Oceans Cold” display the trio’s ability to excite small rooms. Contemporary groups plying the dubious vintage-blues/modern rockabilly genre can come across as forced, or feigned. And it might seem awfully silly to convey to giddy audiences that there is something Satanic in raucous songs about strong liquor and salacious women. After all, the listeners are, more often than not, wary light-beer drinkers. But The Devil Makes Three manage to pull off their shtick with a light dose of inanity and impressive technical skill. The group concludes its Vermont tour this week with a pair of shows: Wednesday, July 30, at the Langdon Street Café in Montpelier, and Saturday, August 2, at the acclaimed Northeast Kingdom Music Festival in East Albany.

As the World Turns << 09B It helped me to understand a lot of different types of music. It was a good beginning. SD: Could you describe your relationship with Putumayo and Cumbancha? How has each contributed to your career? HK: Putumayo first and Cumbancha after. It’s like a family relationship between an artist and producer. It was great. At the beginning when they wanted to produce me, [there] was a long discussion between my European producer and Putumayo. And I’m a little shy sometimes. And when my producer asked me what I want, what is my idea, I generally . . . I don’t say what I think. But I was such a fan of the old stuff Putumayo Records made. The first time [we met with them], they made great food for me in the office in New York and everybody met me. And it’s actually like a family, you know? I know [Cumbancha founder] Jacob Edgar has so much faith in Putumayo. And I would eat in his house several times during my time with Putumayo. And they are all like friends. It’s a good relationship. Cumbancha wanted to produce my new album — and Jacob was working until now with Putumayo. And Putumayo helped Jacob on his label. But me, I’m not very far from Putumayo. And they help some-

times, too, to support. We’ve made some compilations with Putumayo where a big part of the money would go to the music school in Mali, where I went [National Institute of Arts in Bamako, Mali]. They gave money to buy materials for the school for drama and music. So we are together. SD: What sort of influence would you say labels such as Cumbancha and Putumayo have in world music? HK: Influence? They do, very strongly. Putumayo doesn’t “make� a lot of artists. But they make them popular throughout the world with compilations. And through the compilations, they do [have influence]. But when they start to make some artists like me, it worked very well and put artists on the American stage. It was actually Cumbancha who brought onstage a lot of music from Africa and outside America generally. You know, the Garifuna Project and the voice of women, Garifuna from Belize, who sing like Africans. When I first listened to Andy Palacio’s album, I thought [it sounded] like an African band. I actually met them in Spain one week ago. And we’ve become friends because Cumbancha and Putumayo make these kinds of meetings happen.

A lot of American and European people come to eat and drink, and I each time I would play all kinds of music because people ask me to play [certain] songs. And if I cannot play, they bring to me the cassette. At that time it was cassette, not CD. And I listen one week and I practice and I play for them. I did that for 16 years. It’s not something small. Each night, 16 years. When I talk about that today, it’s like a flashback. It’s like I look back and see just a short time. But it’s not short. And when I play this music, I understand the structure. If it’s jazz, if it’s funk. Anything you can imagine, maybe . . . I’ve played a lot of country music, a lot of rock music, popular songs in Europe. And African music, too. I play everything. Jazz. I played for hours in a workshop with American jazz musicians from Detroit. They came to Africa — not in Mali, but in Senegal. In Mali, the U.S. Embassy chose one musician in Mali to go to Senegal to meet those musicians who came from Michigan. And I was the musician the U.S. Embassy chose. And I was there for two weeks. And we talked about jazz and they showed and explained to us what is jazz. Everybody has, I think, his own idea about that. But I have had a lot of experiences. >

rally ho If a vintage Vespa or antique Maicoletta rolls by this weekend, don’t ask yourself if you’ve gone on Roman holiday by mistake. You’re just spotting the Middle Ground Rally, a regional gathering for fans of cute scooters from Vermont and Québec. The tiny two-wheelers are usually less powerful than motorcycles, featuring footboards instead of pedals and a step-through design — but they make up in charm what they lack in engine size. After a Friday meet-andgreet at Red Square, a fleet of the minuscule motorcycles skirts the shore in a Saturday-morning “Hunt for Champ” ride. A mini-golf tourney at Pizza Putt pairs Montréal scooter devotees with their Green Mountain counterparts, and, weather permitting, the posse pulls into Colchester’s Sunset Drive-In Theater Saturday night for a double feature. Roll ’em! Middle Ground Scooter Rally

Friday through Sunday, August 1-3, in various Burlington locations; see website for times and meeting places. Free. Info, info@vtscoot.com. www.vtscoot.com/rally.html

scene@ COLCHESTER TRIATHLON BAYSIDE PARK, SUNDAY, JULY 27, 9 A.M.

photo: Matthew Thorsen

By 9 o’clock on Sunday morning, hundreds of individuals clad in swimwear were waiting in the shallows of Malletts Bay. Further out, a line of canoes and kayaks did the same. The voice of an announcer suddenly blurted from a loudspeaker, his countdown echoing across Bayside Park. At “zero,” the swimmers and boaters launched into action. The water around them exploded — more like a shark frenzy than the peaceful start I had expected. And so began the 24th Annual Colchester Triathlon. I sat among the spectators, just a few coffee sips short of my preferred caffeine intoxication, but otherwise ready to support my wife, who was in the running portion of the “tri.” She and several hundred competitors faced a lengthy course, which started and ended in Bayside Park. The event, put on by Colchester Parks & Recreation, was advertised as a “trioption” triathlon, meaning there were three ways in which participants could customize their own race: (1) competing as an individual or as part of a team; (2) swimming a half mile for the first part of the course, as is traditional in triathlon; (3) opting out of the swim and instead trying their hand at paddling a canoe or kayak on a 2.5-mile course. Swimmers and boaters soon slogged out of the water and clambered uphill to the biking exchange zone. There they mounted up, or tagged off to a waiting teammate, for a 12-mile route that brought bikers to Susie Wilson Road before turning back toward Malletts Bay School. And there, racers traded bikes for runner’s shoes or tagged off to their final teammate. All impressive feats, and best done by somebody other than me. I did, however, get some exercise rushing between various staging points. My wife’s team managed to place in the top third, and she cut more than three minutes off her usual running time, easily earning her a post-race brunch. Eating: Now there’s a sport I excel at, though I practice on a strictly non-competitive basis. KEITH MORRILL

Fish Stories - Lake Champlain’s fish tell all!

FILL ’ER UP Given the current price of crude, a gas station seems a better setting for a soap opera or international political thriller than a feel-good musical. People paying more than four bucks a gallon at the pump may not feel they have much to sing about, but the actor-musicians of St. Michael’s Playhouse sure do. In Pump Boys and Dinettes, high-octane Broadway nostalgia vivifies a sleepy pit stop in Grand Ole Opry country. Muscular cowboy-country station attendants strum guitars and harmonize with the table-waiting, toe-tapping Cupp sisters in an ode to small-town American life in the 1950s. Six thespians play all the musical instruments — there’s dancing, too. If you’ve got some spare change after capping your tank, step back in time to when consuming fossil fuel was cool.

Explore 12 buildings of interactive exhibits, shop Museum store, board Revolutionary War gunboat, explore shipwrecks, see archaeologists at work, eat at the Red Mill Restaurant...Vergennes, VT, right next to the Basin Harbor Club!

Z MARKS THE SPOT In the heyday of soundless cinema, “silent� movie screenings were anything but: Dramatic scores written especially for each film were played by regulation “11 and piano� cinema orchestras, heightening the narrative’s twists with an immediacy only live accompaniment could provide. For the past 23 years, the 13member Paragon Orchestra has put polished musicianship in the service of its thousand-title collection of original film scores, pairing theatrical “concerts� with showings on the silver screen. At the Hop, Paragon plays up 1920 action-adventure gem The Mark of Zorro — the first film released by Douglas Fairbanks’ actor-run collaborative studio United Artists. In it, Fairbanks fences up a storm as a black-masked, RobinHood-like rogue, aiding peasants and wooing his lady-love with deeds of derring-do, Spanish-vigilante style. The orchestra helps him settle the score.

STRING THEORY Great instrumental soloists concertize with considerable in-born talent, but education and hard work also play their part. Case in point: Violinistviolist Helena Baillie, who recently graduated from Philadelphia’s prestigious Curtis Institute of Music and made her New York debut earlier this year. The Strad magazine described her Big Apple performance as a “combination of brilliance and poignance.� The London native has studied with the first violinists of the Emerson, Vermeer, Juilliard and Tokyo quartets, and her recitals have aired on American Public Radio’s “Performance Today.� No stranger to the Middlebury stage, Baillie is an alumna of the college’s French language school. Accompanied by Boston Philharmonic pianist (and accomplished novelist) Janice Weber, she offers Paganini’s “La Campanella� and transcriptions from the Prokofiev ballet Romeo and Juliet, among other works.

i Spy... Dear Mistress Maeve, My husband and I are both geeks, but that never stopped us from having a great sex life. The thing is, we’re now in our third year of marriage and getting kind of bored. The result is that we’re on the Internet all night instead of in each other’s arms. I’m addicted to role-playing games like World of War Craft, where I can be a hot elf chick and interact with totally ripped warriors. I don’t actually have “cyber-sex,” but I’ve come close. As for my hubby, his PC is in another room, so I don’t have to see what kind of porn he favors, but I’m pretty sure that’s what it is. Last night we were both online till 4 a.m. Is this really unhealthy? Do you have any advice on how we can rekindle our relationship in “meat space”? Thanks, Virtual Vixen

Our Paths Crossed at Melissa It turns out that we’ve been crossing paths in our daily commutes to and from Milton and Calais/Montpelier. Thanks to Melissa, they crossed close enough for us to meet. Shall we meet again for a glass of wine and a dip in the pool? When: Saturday, July 26, 2008. Where: Melissa Etheridge Concert. You: Woman. Me: Woman. #904236 Starbucks Downtown You were looking blue at the cash register so I tried to offer some kindness. I hope it did a little good. Thanks for the coffee. Tomorrow will be a better day! When: Saturday, July 26, 2008. Where: Church St. Starbucks. You: Man. Me: Woman. #904233 boobies make me smile T Gay Pride, July 12, Higher Ground: You were wearing a blue T-shirt that said “Boobies make me smile.” You are sooo cute! You’re great on the dance floor, too! You look like you’re a lot of fun. I’m a good-looking fem who loves soft butch women. Early 30s, slim and, YES, I have nice boobies. Hope to hear from you soon! When: Saturday, July 12, 2008. Where: Higher Ground. You: Woman. Me: Woman. #904232 Lindsey Who Loves To Ball How’s it going, you cute little flirt?! I thought about going to a movie or getting some ice cream. You in? If so, “Spy” me with a day and time. When: Saturday, July 26, 2008. Where: around. You: Woman. Me: Man. #904231

Dear Vixen, The problem with real relationships — or IRL relationships, as you geeks would say — is that they lack the excitement of constant newness. In a virtual world, you can whip up an avatar that looks like Angelina Jolie one day, and be a hot librarian the next. As for your sweetie, he’ll never run out of new wank material. Meanwhile, you can both ignore the fact that you’re feeling less attracted to each other. In fact, you can ignore each other, period. It’s healthy to have down time in a relationship — up to a point. But when your eyes ache from staring at the LCD screen and you’re developing carpal tunnel, you’ve got a problem. Sooner or later, you’re going to need to remember what an actual warm body feels like. My suggestion: Try introducing your hubby to the delights of real-life role-playing. Find out what he fantasizes about, and tell him what turns you on — even if it’s brawny swordsmen and he resembles Steve Buscemi. Then get some costumes and help him rev up his hard drive. Sure, you’ll feel silly at first. But you may find out a pixillated image has nothing on the real thing.

Wishing you gigs of fun,

mm
