< letters> LONG, LOST BROTHER Mike Ives wrote a story about Rusty Gould, a homeless man whose bike was hit by a car, and the community rallied around him to buy him a new bike [“Homeless Man Gets a Lift from Burlington Samaritans,” April 30, 2008]. Rusty is my brother. I have not seen him in over 10 years. If by chance he reads this, or someone who knows him reads this, please urge him to call his sister, Joy. Seven Days knows how to get in touch with me. Joy Gould Niederpruem SARASOTA, FL

RESIDENCY REQUIREMENTS DON’T WORK John Craig, Barre City manager, you said you didn’t understand what “they’re telling us to do” about residency restrictions for sex offenders [“Not in Our Backyard,” June 17]. Let me help you out: When the legislature tells you that it doubts the efficacy of residential restrictions for sex offenders, but that they’re not going to stop you from passing them, what they’re telling you is that residency restrictions don’t increase public safety, but if it makes you feel better to pass them, then go right ahead. It’s really kind of like an invitation to give everyone a false sense of security, to believe that everything that can be done is being done to stop sex offenses. But guess what? Residency re-

strictions only stop known sex offenders from moving into certain areas of cities and towns. They don’t erase the offense for which the perpetrators were convicted, and they don’t make anyone safer. Oh — and they could be unconstitutional! Kate Thomas RUTLAND

Editor’s note: Last week, a Washington Superior Court judge issued a preliminary injunction that prevents Barre from moving the convicted sex offender featured in our story.

seeing “Bliss” [June 17]. We see a scuba-diving couple being tracked by an ominous shark, which seems prepared to devour them. This is thanks to the woman having not changed her tampon and thus luring the shark with her menstrual blood and endangering the couple — seemingly fatally. Unbelievable! This attempt at sexist humor doubles as perpetuation of a sorry male fear of menses, or the dreaded

“period” we women experience each month. It seems that even the most cultivated and grown-up males are, in effect, afraid of menstruation. Harry Bliss must be one of these men. It is often considered by them to be gross, weird, mysterious and, as this cartoon perpetuates, dangerous. Ever been in a cranky or uninviting mood and been accused of being “on the rag”? Ever threatened your boyfriend’s life by way of a

TAMPON JOKE? I have never known myself to be a woman who is easily fazed or offended. Yet I rolled my eyes in embarrassment for Seven Days, which I peruse religiously, upon

man-eating underwater carnivore? Because you did not remember to change you tampon? Poor Adam was ultimately banished from the Garden of Eden by way of silly Eve’s judgments (namely, listening to the deceptive talking snake) and paradise was ruined for all humanity. And still today, women are compromising men’s safety and well being. At least this is what is implied by “bliss.”

GIRLINGTON’S GOOD I was so happy to see an article about Girlington Garage in Seven Days [“Vroom With a View,” June 17]. I just took my car there last week and could not have been happier with the service! My Jeep needed some significant repairs, but [owner] Demeny [Pollitt] was extremely transparent about what could wait to be fixed to help me save a little money. I would recommend Girlington Garage to anyone who is looking for a respectful, honest mechanic. Go, Girlington! Shelly Peitzmeier

[staff blog]

Flying Blind It’s a good thing Samuel de Champlain didn’t “discover” Burlington by plane. The map-making explorer would have been sorely disappointed — like I am, every time I fly — to find today’s pilots have totally abandoned the tradition of identifying the nation’s most distinctive geographical features. On a recent Delta flight from Atlanta to Burlington, there was not a word from the flight deck until we were about to land. Weather? Wind conditions? Temperature? The voice on the P.A. joked about our destination with a reference to Sasquatch — did he mean Champ? Did they even know where we were going? No one else on the plane seemed to care.

Happy Trails, Ed DuFresne This just in from our pals at the “crown jewel of Montpelier’s arts scene,” the Langdon Street Café: Longtime booking maven and all-around mover and/or shaker Ed DuFresne is calling it quits. In a letter sent to VT press outlets last night, DuFresne somewhat predictably cites the economic difficulties that apparently leave no one unscathed, including quirky Capital City coffeehouses. He writes: “In these tough economic times, and with high rent to pay, Langdon Street Café has decided that newest co-owner Ben T. Matchstick will take over the talent coordination duties at Langdon Street Café, so that

they can trim expenditures and attempt to make the business more viable for their family. [...]” Certainly, with alt-theater guru Matchstick at the helm, LSC’s calendar appears to be in very capable hands. But during his three-plus-year tenure at the cafe, DuFresne has left an indelible mark and a sizable pair of shoes to fill. Read more online... Posted July 7 by Dan Bolles

Illadelph on the Waterfront: The Roots I can’t say enough about the Roots’ performance. I’m no music critic or anything, but I’ve been to my share of shows, so I feel comfortable offering my assessment of the show. And here it is: They had me at the sousaphone. They could have been playing polka and I would have loved it for the simple fact that they incorporated a sousaphone into their live show. And not just any sousaphone, but a sousaphone played by the exuberant “Tuba Gooding Jr.,” who could get his serious step dance on with this mammoth piece of brass hanging over his shoulder and torso. The highlight of the evening had to be when ?uestlove, the rotund and slightly menacing drummer and DJ for the band, trundled out on stage and started throwing autographed drumsticks into the audience ... I readied myself for the booty. As it flew in the air, I reached up and grasped... Read more online. . . Posted July 6 by Lauren Ober

A Splash of Color for Your Garden

By ShAy ToTTen

open season on VT poliTiCs

The Color of Green

ast week, a national group chose Gov. Jim Douglas as one of the top 10 eco-friendly U.S. governors, a designation some in Vermont say amounts to “greenwashing.” Greenopia, a “green” consumer directory, ranked all 50 governors for eco-mindedness. Douglas is ranked eighth, just ahead of Govs. Jon Corzine of New Jersey and Jodi Rell of Connecticut. Topping the list is Gov. Bill Ritter of Colorado, followed closely by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger of California. Think biodiesel Hummer. “We looked at all 50 governors in the U.S. and compared their policies, transparency and interest-group ratings — and ranked them. It was a monumental task,” says Doug Mazeffa, Greenopia’s director of research. “People want to know which governors are the eco-leaders or laggards, and especially identify those making repeated eco-gaffes.” Good goal, but it appears that Greenopia did little more than scour Douglas’ 3000-plus press releases, noting

and Clear Water Action Plan.” The group also boasted, “Vermont has always been on the forefront of environmental legislation and its governor, Jim Douglas, is no exception.” Never one to let a compliment gather dust, Team Douglas was quick to push out press release No. 3555 touting Greenopia’s report. “As the greenest state in the country, Vermont is leading the nation when it comes to setting environmental standards. I believe it is important that we do all we can to keep the Green Mountains green,” says Douglas in a statement. “As governor, I will continue to do all I can to advance our efforts to clean up impaired waterways, reduce our carbon footprint with tough automobile emissions standards and encourage green jobs in our state.” Paul Burns, the executive director of the Vermont Public Interest Research Group, praised Douglas and his environmental staff for defending Vermont’s clean

that it was “unable to find any scores from environmental interest groups.” I guess a phone call to any one of the state’s environmental groups was not in the budget. “We’ve spent years trying to work with this administration on proactive environmental policy, and it continues to be difficult,” notes Jake Brown, spokesman for the Vermont Natural Resources Council. “The proposal to allow ATVs on state lands is an example of where his administration is, and if that’s an indication of his environmental leadership, he shouldn’t be on a top-10 list.” In fact, Vermont League of Conservation Voters was so upset with Douglas’ lack of environmental leadership that it created a negative TV election ad to coincide with last year’s election. “Gov. Jim Douglas’ record on the environment is far below the standards that his predecessors established,” VLCV director Todd Bailey wrote at the time. “Vermonters deserve to know the truth about the governor’s failure to maintain our reputation as a national leader on environmental issues.” The ad pointedly stated it’s a fairy-tale notion that the governor is an environmental prince: He opposes wind power and his “clean and clear” policy to improve the health of Lake Champlain has been a muddy success at best. Funny, Greenopia recognized Douglas for undertaking “several programs to make Vermont greener. These include the Clean

car standards. But, like other enviros, he claims Vermont has preserved its green ethos despite the governor. “On the whole, Gov. Douglas has been far more of a laggard than a leader when it comes to environmental challenges and opportunities,” said Burns. “Vermont is a long way from Mississippi, and Jim Douglas might be considered environmentally enlightened there. But here, we expect a lot more from environmental leaders, and Gov. Douglas does not make the grade.” Craven Conflict — As the region celebrates the Burlington International Waterfront Festival, there are frequent sightings of filmmaker Jay Craven, the event’s producer and chief cheerleader. No exaggeration, the man is everywhere. Craven is also all over the Burlington Free Press — writing stories about the festival he’s producing. Craven’s byline appeared regularly in the months leading up to the Quad. Last week, he stepped it up with three stories. The paper identified him either as a “correspondent” or “special correspondent,” waiting until the end of the article to mention his role as festival producer. What is the Free Press neglecting to say? That Craven’s “journalism” is a glaring conflict of interest. He’s being allowed to use the newspaper to “sell” his own shows. It’s the equivalent of letting a local car dealer write a “business story” about the >> 13a

The bluebird is Flying Burlington’s first “gastropub” opens its doors sue beTTe and aaron josinsky

eople open all sorts of restaurants for all sorts of reasons, but not many are inspired by the drinking habits of long-dead presidents. After seeing the starstudded HBO miniseries about John Adams, in which the Founding Father’s neighborhood tavern plays a significant role, Sue Bette decided she wanted to create a modern community center like that one. The athlete and foodie, who already dreamed of owning a restaurant, liked the idea of a place where neighbors and friends meet for conversation and high-quality food and beer. In New England, Bette explains, the neighborhood pub was “part of what our towns were built around. I wanted to bring that back and make [my restaurant] a place you could come every night.” As it happens, Bette’s Riverside Avenue effort, the Bluebird Tavern, opened to the public on July 4, which is the anniversary of Adams’ death as well as Independence Day. While the Bluebird’s menu includes modern treats such as bacon jam and a sprinkling of ethnic influences not known to Americans until the 20th century, Adams and his friends would have been familiar with the seasonal, farm-fresh sourcing behind the affordably priced fare. Vegetables come from various farms in the Intervale, just a little way down the road. Animals arrive whole and are butchered in the restaurant’s kitchen, with nothing wasted. These frugal, old-fashioned practices have come back into vogue in recent years, and the localvore contingent has been hungrily awaiting the opportunity to sample what Bette and her staffers refer to as “gastropub” fare. (The British term refers to an establishment that serves better-than-average pub food.) Dribs and drabs of information that appeared on Facebook, the Bluebird blog and most recently on Twitter got social-media-savvy types talking about the aesthetic updates Bette was making to the building, which formerly housed popular Tex-Mex eatery Tortilla Flat. And area foodies, well aware of the pedigrees of Bluebird’s chef, Aaron Josinsky, and front-ofthe-house manager Laura Wade — who both

worked at the famed Blue Hill in New York and had plum roles at Shelburne Farms — anticipated a combination of culinary acumen and graceful service lacking in many Vermont venues. On opening day, people trickled steadily into the restaurant, where they noshed on a special holiday menu including extra-crispy fried chicken with potato salad, lightly dressed baby greens strewn with mint, and servings of just-sweet-enough strawberry shortcake. Cool- and confident-seeming staffers, wearing black aprons with white pinstripes over their

casual street clothes, asked permission before clearing plates, refilled water glasses often, and conversed intelligently about pairing wine with various menu items. Bette, dressed like the other staffers, occasionally stepped in to help out behind the copper-topped bar (made locally by Alistair Parker of Metal Design). The new restaurateur, quiet but quick to smile, seemed pleased with customers’ responses.

Coaching lacrosse at st. Michael’s College may not sound like a food-related job, but in the mind of Bette, 29, it was

part of the trajectory that led her here. “As an athlete, being food conscious was always something I was interested in,” she says.

Aiming for a career in college athletics, Bette entered UVM’s master’s program in higher education, student affairs and administration, where she did research projects on the “role of food services in the college environment,” she says. But food became a full-time interest after her partner, Trish Rascon, took a job on the West Coast. Living in the San Francisco area, Bette explains, “I got into the local food piece … and wanted to learn more.” She ended up >> 04B

cherry tomatoes and baby eggplant. “Eating in season is important and, ultimately, you should be so sick of a vegetable that you can’t wait to start on the next one,” Josinsky opines. Although the menu includes a few exceptions to the rule of Mother Nature, Josinsky draws a hard line where tomatoes are concerned. “We’re not bringing tomatoes in. In August we’ll have tomatoes,” he says firmly. When the red orbs aren’t ripening on Vermont vines, Josinsky believes, the slices can only be a “flavorless garnish that take[s] away from the food.” This means the double-patty burger, made with meat ground in the Bluebird kitchen, arrives sans the typical veggie toppings. You can get it with ketchup, mustard or aioli, though, all of which are made in-house. “Our ketchup is better than Heinz, which

to the Intervale and convenient to “up-and-coming” Winooski and the Old North End. “I thought it would be a really neat hub if we could make it work,” Bette says. In February, her New Yorkbased parents — who work as property developers — bought the building, which Bette leases. “We’re definitely in a privileged position,” she acknowledges. “Not many people get to create their dream and make it happen. I’m very thankful for that opportunity.” With help from local craftspeople such as Steve Conant of Conant Metal & Light, who made the lights and twig-shaped metal accents decorated with the occasional bluebird, and Don Moquin, who crafted the tables, she and her partners began to create the cozy look and feel they were striving for. Soon after the renovations

at California’s Bauman College, which offers programs in “holistic nutrition and culinary arts”: “I chose to go into a kind of crunchygranola cooking program because I didn’t want to lose the healthy component,” Bette says. Healthy like a crispy chickenskin garnish? The decadent — and flavorful — topping appears on the Bluebird’s chicken liver on toast. A conventional nutritionist might go into cardiac arrest after taking a gander at the tavern’s menu, which is filled with dishes such as deviled farm eggs served on crispy pork and the French-Canadian favorite poutine. But Bette espouses an alternative school of thought. On her personal blog, Feelgood Eats, she writes: “My food philosophy is founded upon the belief that traditional, whole foods are the best sources for opti-

mal health and happiness … These are the foods our great-grandparents ate. They closely resemble their natural state and have been refined as minimally as possible.” Eggs? Check. Bacon? Check. Chicken skin? Oh, baby. The whole-foods ideology is a good fit in Vermont, which Bette considers her spiritual home. At age 12, while growing up near Albany, N.Y., she took a trip to Manchester, Vt., with her sister and mother. “As soon as I crossed the border I was, like, ‘I want to live here,’” she recalls of her first Green Mountain encounter. St. Mike’s was the only undergraduate school Bette applied to, and even when she lived in food-obsessed Berkeley, home to daily farmers markets and produce Northeasterners can only dream about, she was plotting her way back. After spending two years training and working in kitchens and as a bartender and server at Oakland’s famed Oliveto, Bette felt ready to open her own eatery. In June 2008, she began making trips to the Queen City in hopes of finding the perfect space. But most locations in downtown Burlington proved too small for the vibe that Bette and her two business partners — Kerri Leach, who manages the bar, and property manager Jamie Strotmeyer — were trying to create. They first checked out the vacant Tortilla Flat location in October. “It had a lot of promise, but I was nervous about being an island over here on Riverside Avenue,” Bette says. She couldn’t get the spot out of her head, though, and ultimately began to warm to the location. The sprawling 120-seat farmhouse, with balconies overlooking a wild tangle of sumac and maple trees, is close

began, Aaron Josinsky wandered in to check out the place. The former sous chef at Shelburne Farms had opted to leave when Head Chef Rick Gencarelli did. “I was interested in the concept. I didn’t bring a resume or anything; I wasn’t looking for a job,” he says. “She asked me to consult right on the spot.” Soon Josinsky’s partner Laura Wade — who used to manage the dining room at Shelburne Farms — was doing the same for the front of the house. When it came time to hire a head chef and a dining-room manager, Bette had many “great Vermont candidates” to choose from. She even flew in New York City cuisiniers for interviews. But it quickly became clear, she says, that Josinsky and Wade were just what the Bluebird needed. The twosome brought with them other Shelburne Farms alums. Nate Wade, Laura’s brother, acts as sous chef. The initial menu concept was a collaborative effort, but Bette turned over the work of fleshing out the details to Josinsky, 31, who is known in the cooking community for his love of using animals from “head to tail” and for sticking strictly to produce currently in season. The menu with which Bluebird opened last weekend included young fava beans, which are available only briefly each year, alongside spiced lamb ribs with yogurt and a dish of minted ricotta gnudi — a pillow-soft pasta that should be like “little clouds,” Josinsky says. Baby lettuces, peas and puntarelle, a bitter Italian vegetable in the chicory family that arrives in early spring, also make appearances. Soon there will be Sun Gold

is a great product,” Josinsky says, noting that he favors mustard and aioli on hot dogs and puts mayo on fries. Pickled vegetables, which can be ordered from the “snack” menu and also come alongside fare such as potted salmon with a brioche and the meaty “Butchers Board,” are another Bluebird original. The suds aren’t made here, but 11 of the 12 taps dispense regional craft brews from Allagash, Wolaver’s, Brooklyn Brewery and Magic Hat, among others. The final tap is reserved for the kind of massproduced stuff that hipsters like to quaff ironically. Right now that’s Pabst Blue Ribbon, which, at $3 for a “big” glass, is a buck cheaper than any other option. “The plan down the road is to get more bottles,” Bette attests. “European stuff.” Pubs and taverns — at least in the British tradition — are beer strongholds, but at Bluebird, the extensive wine list currently outshines the brewski. With 70 bottles under $50 and 12 wines by the glass, there’s something for every palate. Leach and Wade put together the list; when approaching distributors, Bette recalls, “We said we ‘want delicious wines that offer great value and have a story.’” Future plans include a robust selection of nonalcoholic beverages to augment Bluebird’s current selection of handcrafted sodas. “I think it’s just as important as any other part of our beverage program,” Bette says. The menu, too, will continue to evolve as summer wends on. And if the diners who visited on the Bluebird’s first day of operation are any indication — one announced that the fried chicken was the best he’d ever had — the new venture seems poised to take flight. m

Downtown Dumplings Dim Sum returnS to Burlington

For years, selecting from trays of hot or cold dim sum was a Sunday tradition at Five Spice Café. Remember the house-smoked fish and the mock duck? Since the restaurant’s fiery demise, other eateries have tried to fill its niche: The nowdefunct Tantra had a small dim sum menu, and Zen Gardens on Shelburne Road dishes up a selection of dumplings and buns that aficionados hail as ultra authentic. Now Burlington’s most popular Chinese resto has entered the fray. Last Sunday, A Single Pebble began offering weekly dim sum lunches. According to co-owner Chiuho “Christina” Duval, the reason for the addition is both fiscal and personal. “It’s a business decision, frankly, for more revenue at this time,” she says, adding that she’s a “big fan” of dim sum herself.

Duval divides the offerings — which will be presented on bamboo trays — into three categories: traditional dishes such as radish cakes and shrimp shu mai; creative twists on the classics; and bite-sized portions of mock eel, dry-fried green beans and other selections from the regular menu. Folks with food restrictions, take note: Duval says it’s tougher to accommodate allergies and dietary limitations during dim sum service, since so many of the 20 to 25 items served are prepared in advance. On the first Sunday with the new offerings, “We were totally booked up,” Duval attests. “Things went really smoothly.” This weekend the resto should have 12 more outdoor seats available beneath a Chinese-style awning currently under construction. Duval, who plans to add flower boxes and lanterns once the structure is complete, calls the enhanced seating area a “personal fantasy. It blocks dust and noise and makes the restaurant a unique place to hang out.” Will ASP follow in Zen Gardens’ footsteps and offer dim sum items such as chicken feet and beef tripe? Not as a rule, Duval says. “I personally like it, but I don’t think the majority of the population here would like it. Maybe once in a while I’ll do that.”

Getting Hostel Warren offerS a neW nook to Stay anD eat for cheap

These days, spending time on the slopes and hitting the sack in a nearby hotel can run hundreds of dollars. With unemployment currently over 9 percent, that premium pricing doesn’t bode well for the 2010 ski season. But in Warren, an innovative new property called Hostel Tevere aims to make the outdoor experience affordable for everyone. Located in a picturesque farmhouse, the family-owned, 24-bed hostel puts up guests for around $30 a night and offers them the option to buy three meals a day. Breakfast is currently open to the public, and dinner will follow once the business is more established. “We’re very budget oriented,” says Chef Jessica Wright, whose sister Sarah runs the place with her boyfriend Giles Smith. “Our most expensive breakfast item is $6.” That’s less than a pack of cigarettes nowadays, but what can you get for it? A burrito with chorizo, cheddar and egg; gingerbread pancakes; and homemade yogurt with granola, to name a few of the a.m. options.

Wright, a 2006 graduate of the Culinary Institute of America, has been baking since she was a tyke; she cooked in Las Vegas and San Diego before moving back to help out at the hostel. “We’re taking the tacky, country-themed B&B and really modernizing it into a funky place,” Wright says. But she insists this isn’t a bid for the hipster tourist market: The spot is “for locals. We don’t want to be a tourist place that jacks up the prices because we know we can.” When dinner is available to non-guests, visitors should expect “modern American comfort food” priced for Vermonters and broke ski bums alike. The bar will feature local beers and select wines under $20.

Crumbs leftover fooD neWS

Last Sunday, Williston Road got, er, reduction surgery. Vermont’s first and only Hooters closed its doors after a three-and-ahalf-year run. Staffers aren’t talking to the press, so the reason for the closing remains a mystery. Other area restaurants may want to take note: The spot’s 383 Facebook fans will need a new place to nosh on burgers, hot wings and oddly enough, raw oysters. Also, a bunch of busty young ladies are in the job market. There’s nothing like free food to ease economic pain, and this week, Burlington’s Boloco is dishing some. This Thursday is “free burrito” day, with complimentary wraps available all day long. Want to put the bucks you’ve saved toward a good cause? The resto, part of a Boston chain, has invited COTS in to collect donations. Green Mountain eats have scored a few new accolades of late. Last Monday, at New York City’s Summer Fancy Food Show, Bove’s of Vermont won a “sofi” (specialty outstanding food innovation) award in the “pasta, rice, grain” category for its all-natural frozen lasagna. The winning dish, which incorporates the resto’s famous meatballs, is a version of the casserole Mark Bove made when he appeared on “Throwdown with Bobby Flay.” More recently, he whipped one up on “The Today Show.” Over in Massachussets at “The Big E” agricultural-fair wine competition, judges gulped swigs of 300 vintages in search of their favorites. This year, five Green Mountain vineyards scored a total of 16 medals. The honorees were Shelburne Vineyards, Putney Mountain Winery, Boyden Valley Winery in Cambridge, Honora Winery in West Halifax and Neshobe River Winery of Brandon. The last-named was the biggest winner of all. Neshobe River’s 2006 Cabernet Franc was pronounced “Best in Show” as well as “Best Vermont Wine” and “Best Grape Wine.” Bottoms up! Want some cheese with that? Two of the top three winners at the North American Jersey Cheese Awards Contest were Vermont natives. Of the 77 entries, Cobb Hill‘s Ascutney Mountain cheese was “best in show.” Tarentaise from Spring Brook Farm in Reading got “second runner-up.” A heads up to farmers and gardeners: Do the spots on the leaves of your tomato or potato plants look water-logged, even when the weather’s dry? If so, they may be infected with Late Blight, the same fungus that caused Ireland’s great potato famine. According to specialist Vern Grubinger at the University of Vermont Extension, ’09 is shaping up to be a bad year for the nightshade family. With big-box stores selling infected seedlings imported from outside the state, it may be too late to stop the Late Blight spread. The results could be nasty for gardeners, but tragic for farmers who rely on income from such plants. Plants that show symptoms should be uprooted and disposed of in plastic bags — not on compost piles, where the spores will spread.

ose Santos has big dreams. He wants to be a famous drummer, a professional mixed-martial-arts fighter and a cook in a restaurant. While the first two aspirations might be a little pie in the sky, the third goal is entirely realistic. The 29-year-old is a participant in the Community Kitchen program, an initiative run locally by the Vermont Foodbank that helps people who receive state Reach Up benefits and who have an interest in food service get basic culinary training. Once Santos finishes his 14-week class and the mandatory internship with either Aramark or Sodexho, corporate partners of the program, he’ll be on the path to a real career working with food. This is good news for the Burlington man, who has two young children with his partner and needs a steady income to support them. “The main reason I do this is for my family,” Santos says. Community Kitchen is a national program run by food-bank network Feeding America that trains people on state assistance for careers in the food-service industry. It came to Burlington in January after a trial run in Barre. The first class of seven women graduated in May, and all are either continuing their culinary training or working new jobs in food service. Training people to work in this industry in Vermont makes sense; food-service jobs can’t be outsourced and, in a state where tourism is a major economic driver, they offer opportunities to make a decent living. Plus, hotels, hospitals and universities all employ cooks and need people to manage them. Instructors in the Community Kitchen program see their graduates filling those positions. The Chittenden Emergency Food Shelf serves as the classroom for the program, where the second batch of students has just finished their first month of training. The Burlingtonbased host has already seen the benefits of the partnership, says Rob Meehan, executive director of the food shelf. It’s a win-win situation, he explains, because the apprentice cooks are feeding his clients. Often the food shelf receives banquet or restaurant leftovers it can’t use. But with

the Community Kitchen students working on site, food that would otherwise be thrown out and wasted can be made into something else and either served at one of the food shelf ’s daily meals or preserved in Cryovac packaging. That food can then be frozen and sent to other food shelves around the state. It’s a good thing Meehan agreed to let the program use

The classes are scheduled from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. each weekday to accommodate participants who need to arrange childcare. They cover topics such as sanitation, knife skills, kitchen safety and how to use automated equipment. Students also learn the basics of cooking, baking and nutrition. When they graduate, they will have passed their ServSafe test

his facility — his wife, Chris Meehan, director of network partner services and programs at the Vermont Foodbank, might have had something to say about it if he had said no. The couple laugh about their cronyism, but it’s all for good. “This is a big score for Burlington and Chittenden County,” Rob Meehan says of the program. Community Kitchen works like this: Participants hear about it from their Reach Up caseworker and apply to get in. Once they are accepted, they are expected to attend every class. Chef Brian Dermody, who teaches the culinary skills part of the program, is very strict on this point, so lateness and absences are rare.

— a food safety exam — and will receive a starter knife kit and a chef coat and pants. The idea is to give the participants every advantage in both culinary and life skills, preparing them to snag well-paying jobs. Cooks like the Community Kitchen grads are in high demand in the food-service industry, Dermody says, because companies such as Sodexho and Aramark don’t need to spend the time or money to train them. But more important than becoming marketable to restaurants, hotels and foodservice companies is getting a sense of accomplishment that many Community Kitchen students have never had before, says Dermody. Many of his

students have been underestimated their entire lives, but once they’re given a chance, they show their drive. “A lot of their life experience hasn’t been filled with success, if you know what I mean,” Dermody says. “The most interesting thing has been how confident they have become. They are radically changed people.” Watching Santos, a cheerful man with a head full of long, skinny dreadlocks, dart around the kitchen, you can see this confidence. Santos knows what is expected of him and carries out his tasks, even cleaning the industrial coffeemaker, with a spring in his step. He always liked to cook, he says, but never had the opportunity to make a career of it. His partner encouraged him to try out for Community Kitchen, and he jumped on the chance. “I spent a week selling myself to these people,” Santos says. “This program allows me to pay attention to detailed cleaning, kitchen utensils and how to be more organized.” And he likes the cooking: “The other day we made calzones that looked like they grew next to a power plant.” Antoinette Bennett-Jones is another student who saw Community Kitchen as a way to develop and learn to market cooking skills she already possessed. She began cooking when she was a child hanging around her grandmother in Florida, she recalls, and grew to love giving

traditional dishes her special touch. “I like doing my own flavors and giving food my own taste,” she says. Bennett-Jones, 28, is a woman who leads by example. Her classmates seem to look up to her as a contemporary who has it all together. Like Santos, Bennett-Jones has very specific career goals, though, depending on how the program progresses, they may not involve food service. After the South Burlington woman finishes Community Kitchen every day, she heads over to Community College of Vermont, where she’s taking classes she hopes will lead to a degree in nursing. Her goal at the moment is to be a nurse, but Bennett-Jones, single mother of a 9-month-old, is reluctant to discount any career path. “I don’t want to put all of my eggs in one basket.” One option open to all Community Kitchen graduates is a 15-week certificate program in professional cooking at the New England Culinary Institute. Three of the seven graduates from the inaugural Community Kitchen class are currently studying braising, plating, pricing and butchery under the tutelage of Chef Josh Gibbs. The partnership with NECI came about when Dermody and Chris Degenhardt of Vermont Adult Learning approached the cooking school about designing a program for the Community Kitchen grads that would

build on what they had already learned. With the Vermont Department of Labor picking up the $8500-per-student tab, NECI couldn’t refuse. It was a “perfect marriage,” says NECI’s director of admissions, Ted Wiechman. Though the first couple of weeks were a little bumpy at NECI, Wiechman says, the three Community Kitchen grads are progressing well. Every weekday from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., the students come prepared to push themselves. The goal of the NECI program is to prepare students to enter the food-service world immediately after graduation. “This is a phenomenal, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity,” Wiechman says. The food bank plans on training 20 students in a year’s time. Ideally, within that year, those 20 people will be off welfare and supporting themselves with a job in food service or a related field. They also will be able to make smarter food decisions and cook more often and more nutritiously for their families. Perhaps more important, the participants will experience the boost in self-esteem that comes with accomplishing a goal. “There’s opportunity; you can feel it,” Chris Meehan says. “There’s change happening here. m

<music> All in the Family :: If we had a nickel for every indie-vaudevilleconceptual-art-rock-slideshow band to come down the pipeline in recent years we’d have … well, we’d only have a nickel. New York’s

Trachtenberg Family Slideshow Players are truly one of a kind. The trio — and actual family — weaves delightful indie-pop nuggets around slideshows culled from a variety of random sources. For example, an unknown family’s 1959 Japan vacation. Wednesday, July 8, the group brings its wholesomely eccentric — and wholly unironic — stage show to the Monkey House, and Thursday, July 9, to Montpeculiar’s Langdon Street Café.

BY DAN BOLLES

QuAD-rADicAL EQuAtiONS

OK, I’m in. In the last few months I’ve taken my share of gentle jabs at the entertainment overload that is the Burlington International Waterfront Festival — aka “The Quad.” And frankly, my glancing blows were not entirely without warrant. Specifically, the question of whether or not our lakeside hamlet is densely populated enough, or can draw suitable numbers of tourists, to sustain such a monumental hootenanny, especially considering the myriad other offerings around the state (Dylan, Willie and the cougar at the CV Fairgrounds next week, Jackson Browne at Shelburne Museum this Tuesday, etc.). Given reports from various local media sources last week that many of the bigticket to-dos were selling well below projections, that was a fair concern to raise. However, you can also count me among those who have been championing the volume and variety of music currently lapping at our shores in celebration of the big four-oh-oh. From a purely selfish standpoint, who cares if the fanny-pack set stays home? More music for us, right? And I’d say Vermonters deserve it. (Did you know that July 2, the day the fest officially started, was also the 232nd anniversary of Vermont becoming the first state to outlaw slavery? Look it up. We rule.) Any skepticism I may have harbored entering into last weekend’s opening festivities was quickly waylaid by the various and largely free happenings about town over the weekend. Though I missed Sunday’s main event with the roots on the Waterfront — even music editors need their beauty sleep prior to Monday mornings — I still managed to take in enough interesting stuff to convince me that this whole thing is well worth our time — and maybe even our money. In particular, a free performance from New York state’s swampy-delic Americana outfit the Horse Flies and Canadian sensations the Lost Fingers at Battery Park last Friday. This pre-fireworks show really had it all. Great tunes, a fleeting window of reasonably passable weather in a picturesque setting, a flyover by a stunt plane, a beer tent and, the coup de grace, pony rides. Really. We have loads of stuff on the docket this week, so I’ll say only this: You haven’t truly celebrated the birth of America until you’ve heard a French-Canadian band play an acoustic Gypsy-jazz version of technotronic’s “Pump Up the Jam.” And no, I’m not kidding. It was awesome. There is still an entire weekend left to get in on the fun. So do yourself a favor, don a tricornered hat and some pantaloons and take another look at the schedule of events at celebratechamplain.org. (Or, of course, 7dvt.com … ahem.)

iN tHE PiNES Speaking of the Quad, those with tix to Grace Potter and the Nocturnals’ Waterfront Park show this Sunday would be well advised to show up early. Handling opening duties are none other than prodigal trumpet diva Jennifer Hartswick and legendary Vermont bluegrass outfit Pine island. Can I get a yee-haw?

Those with jazz inclinations should be familiar with Hartswick. The current Chicago resident has been a Discover Jazz Fest staple for years. And with good reason. Girl can flat out bring it, both on the horn and with her considerable vocal prowess. But the DOOMriDErS real story here is the return of Pine Island. For the uninitiated, Pine Island was perhaps the original local supergroup. Active primarily in the mid1970s and regulars at the late, great Queen City hotspot Hunt’s, the jazzgrass pioneers were composed of double bassist Jim McGinnis, guitarist tim McKenzie, fiddler David Gusakov, vocalists Dan Mahoney and Susan Longaker, and southpaw mandolin ace — and founder of seminal alt-country greats the Blood Oranges — Jimmy ryan. Oh, and some banjo-pickin’ whippersnapper named Gordon Stone. Whatever happened to him? Despite a predictable smattering of reunion gigs over the years, opportunities to hear the group have been few and far between since the band called it quits in the late ’70s. So even if you’re not a big GPN fan, a chance to see Pine Island is worth the price of admission alone. However, if the ticket price does scare you off, you can still catch a glimpse of greatness when the band plays a warm-up gig this Friday at the Bristol Bakery and Café. P.S. In addition to GPN, Hartswick and the Pine Island reunion, Sunday’s show also doubles as a release party for the latest offering from our pals at Big Heavy World, a mammoth two-disc affair entitled Thrifters and Throughstones: The Music of Vermont’s First 400 Years. I had originally planned a review of the excellent new comp — which features the likes of Anaïs Mitchell, Atlantic crossing and GPN, among many, many others — for this issue. But frankly, it’s so massive I need more time to do it justice. Like another 400 years. Er, or maybe next week.

Shark, who rated as the Boston Phoenix’s choice for best VT artist in its annual “50 Bands, 50 States” feature last week. Greg Davis’ tip of the week: that I would really dig indie-folk songwriter Kevin Barker. And how. I bet you will, too, this Sunday, when the NYC-based tunesmith joins Brattleboro’s Happy Birthday at the Monkey House. This week in BurntMD: Recently signed to Brooklyn’s Coalmine Records, Burnt just released a track on DJ Green Lantern’s latest mixtape, Monster Mash 4. This comes on the heels of adding cuts to the soundtrack of locally made indie film Dumping Lisa. Dude doesn’t sleep. Rain or shine — presumably — Solarfest kicks off this weekend at Forget-Me-Not-Farm in Tinmouth. The renewable-energy-focused bash, which runs Friday through Sunday, will feature performances from the likes of Entrain, rani Arbo and Daisy Mayhem, and Peter Mulvey, among many others. Visit solarfest.org for more details. Underrated songwriting legend alert! tom Pacheco, whose work has been covered by the Band, ritchie Havens and Jefferson Starship, to name a few, appears in VT twice this week: Saturday at Langdon Street Café and Sunday at the Bee’s Knees in Morrisville. New band alert! This Friday at Montpelier’s Black Door Bar and Bistro, Michael chorney unveils his latest creation, Wayback Machine, a collaboration with Miriam Bernardo, Phil carr and the brothers Eames that he describes as “Amerarcana.” Sold. Metal fans, take note: Doomriders. Saturday. Monkey House. Vultures of cult, Motherboar and Bloodcow open. Rawk on. Looking for something to do this Monday? How ’bout supporting the locals at Higher Ground when the Lonestar chain and river city rebels warm up the Showcase Lounge for Alberta cross? Just a thought. And finally, Death — note, not rough Francis but actually Death — have just announced three reunion dates: Friday, September 26, at Magic Stick in Detroit; Saturday, September 26, at the Empty Bottle in Chicago; and Sunday, September 27, in Cleveland. See you in the Windy City?

HAMiD AKAr

Deepest condolences to longtime Burlington rockers Ninja custodian, who announced in a press release last Monday the passing of bassist Hamdi Akar from spinal meningitis, on Friday, June 26. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the band and, of course, Akar’s friends and family. Share your remembrances on Ninja Custodian’s blog at mog.com/ 10:11:19 AM Ninja_Custodian. m

BitE tOrrENt A couple weeks ago I mentioned how I’d like to see more live music at JP’s Pub. It seems that somebody up there — or maybe someone at JP’s? — likes me, as the Burlington dive is set to unveil a regular series of live music on Thursday nights. Kicking things off this week are local rockers Lowest of tides. Kudos to Lowell thompson & crown Point and Pure Pop Records, who both scored some national love on the back page of the current issue of Rolling Stone — the one with the Jonas Brothers on the cover … snicker. Props also to Avi and celia, who were featured in this month’s Yankee magazine, and local(ish) indie-pop phenom Hello

lift off! Burlington DJ Craig Mitchell updates a local music landmark By Dan Bolles

t’s been a long time coming. On Thursday, July 2, renowned local DJ Craig Mitchell threw open the doors of Lift. Located in the former space of the late, great Club Toast — then Millennium and, more recently, Second Floor — the venture is the latest addition to the city’s thriving nightlife scene. The response? Overwhelming. For most of the opening night, expectant club-goers dressed to the nines stood in a queue that extended from the lower Church Street venue’s front door, down an entire block and around the corner onto King Street. All totaled, 1000 patrons paid a visit to the Queen City’s new late-night destination. Given the joint’s max capacity of 250, this means the crowd turned over an astonishing four times. And what they found upon arrival was no doubt equally stunning: Lift more resembles the high-end, urban-chic dance clubs of Montréal, Boston and New York than it does either of the two establishments that preceded it. Mitchell’s club seems to have shooed out all prior seediness, and it’s barely a week old. The sleazy accoutrements of the past — dingy pool tables, cheesy neon, plastic cups, etc. — have been replaced by numerous plush black leather couches, tasteful lighting and actual cocktail glasses … like, made out of glass. A state-ofthe-art DJ booth looms over the

expansive dance floor in the center of the room. A “VIP” section (in Burlington?) offers views of the “little people” from behind a velvet rope along the back wall. Meanwhile, seven — count ’em, seven — security personnel keep vigil over the proceedings. Notorious nightly drama is apparently a thing of the past, too. As giddy as Burlington’s bargoing public apparently is — Lift’s Facebook page already has more than 1300 fans — no one is happier about these developments than Mitchell himself. “Of all the things I’ve done, this is the coolest,” he says. “By far.” That’s saying something, given that the 38-year-old Michigan native’s past credits include 19 years of professional deejaying across the country, monthly residencies in Boston and Miami, topping Billboard dance charts, and working with the likes of Yoko Ono and Moby.

People ask what kind of music we’ll play all the time. Good. That’s it. Craig MitChell, owner, lift

makes people feel special,” he says. He adds that he hopes to cultivate the kind of passionate core clientele that Toast did. “It didn’t matter what was going on at Club Toast,” he says. “Hip-hop fans would go to punk shows. And you went because it was Club Toast. You called it home. That’s the kind of vibe I want. Lose the labels, come in, and have a good time.” Undoubtedly, “big-city” atmosphere implies a degree of exclusivity. Though there is no strict dress code, Lift is selective about who can and cannot enter. But that’s as much about vibe as it is practicality. “One little thing can set off a bad reaction,” he says. “And this space deserves the love, because there is a lot of love within these walls. “This isn’t the best club in the world. It’s not the biggest club,” Mitchell concludes. “But it is a great club. And it is a lot of fun.” m

will likely reign. But he plans to bring in a variety of music, relying heavily on what he calls the “cream of the crop” of local DJ talent, from A-Dog to ZJ and many excellent turntablists in between. He also plans to lean on notable deejaying friends he’s made touring the country, as well as the artists traveling the Montréal-to-Boston pipeline. As for the rumors that live music might return to the space: They’re true. Mitchell envisions bands playing the club regularly. He even hints at a Toast tribute night at some point in the future. “Anything that is conducive to the space,” he says. “Anything that makes sense.” But more than any particular style of music, Mitchell envisions a place where people can come for an experience unlike any other in Burlington. “You’re getting … all the stuff I see in bigger cities that

move to Las Vegas, but his plans changed when the club went up for sale in mid-May. Two weeks later, Second Floor closed for good, and Mitchell’s crew began dismantling the bar that night. “We had two months’ worth of work to do in, like, two weeks,” he says with a grin. He adds that his staff was removing boxes from the dance floor literally minutes before the club opened. But the club’s renovation goes well beyond fancy new lighting and a fresh coat of paint. To complete the transformation required something of a paradigm shift as well. Asked to sum up his vision for the new venture, Mitchell says simply, “Music equals life.” (By way of contrast, Second Floor sponsored a “hottest bartender” contest via its MySpace page.) On a superficial level, Lift is a dance club. But Mitchell refuses to pigeonhole it into any specific de-

LoweLL Thompson & Crown piLoT, LoweLL Thompson & Crown piLoT

TwisT of The wrisT, TwisT of The wrisT (Self-released, CD)

Where we last left off (OK, where I last left off, more than two years ago), Lowell Thompson was a budding country-rocker — the workingman’s answer to Whiskeytown-era Ryan Adams, a young journeyman with a Heart of Gold and paint-spackled pants (Thompson’s pre-musical trade was as a housepainter). Back then, our troubadour was among those lucky performers seemingly destined for fame beyond Burlington’s drinking holes. But we all know how that story goes… Lowell Thompson & Crown Pilot should be the record that breaks him nationally, but do bands even “break nationally” anymore? Noted alt-country rag No Depression is no more, and radio is a centralized jukebox of Disney pop and manufactured buttrock. Where does an earnest, twang-caked gem like Thompson’s latest fit in? It fits in your iPod, or CD player (if you still have one), that’s where. To borrow a different “lens”: Remember when U.S. filmmakers stopped using America’s sweeping landscape as a cinematic frame and started making claustrophobic family dramas? Where’s today’s Sam Peckinpah? Or, more appropriately, where’s today’s Gram Parsons? To be honest, Lowell and his band — which includes drummer Steve Hadeka, bassist Kirk Flanagan and Vermont axe legend Bill Mullins — aren’t as sloppy and/or stoned as vintage Parsons or Peckinpah, and that has its positives and negatives. Yet they’re certainly edgier than the vast majority of modern Americana acts. LT & CP is loaded with Stones-y swagger and Telecaster-fueled self-assertion. In other words, it rocks. Take, for instance, “The Love You Had,” a scruffy-sad anthem that has everything a proper country-rock ditty needs: dejection, rebellion, hooks, slice o’ life lyrics and a kickass guitar solo. “Because the years run by / So slow behind your eyes / But you age so goddamn fast,” Thompson sings in his forthright but unfussy style. His work is clearly bearing the fruit of maturity and perhaps some frustration, which means his songs now sting a little. This is a good thing. “Pauses” displays the most growth in Thompson’s songwriting. It’s a stuttering, minor-key tune that fuses Tom Petty’s more accusatory numbers with something out of the pre-“Emotional Rescue” Stones catalog. Oh, and this is one of two songs to feature Grace Potter — a bona fide Vermont singin’ star! Bottom line: The mainstream music world badly needs records like this to bubble up from “Real America” — aka, Vermont. Ask yourself, do you really want the future of pop/rock/country music to be decided by Billy Ray and Miley Cyrus? So snap out of that “American Idol”- and corn-syrup-induced stupor, America, and buy Lowell Thompson & Crown Pilot. The group plays this Friday, July 10, at Charlotte’s Old Lantern with local surf-noir favorites Barbacoa and songwriter Ryan Ober.

I used to think you needed a phone booth or a DeLorean to travel back in time. Apparently I was wrong. It turns out all you need is a CD player, the latest self-titled release from Vermont’s own Twist of the Wrist and a little imagination. With sparse arrangement, skillful execution and a tasteful selection of tunes, the trio of Robert Resnik, Elizabeth Thompson and Barbara Wager pooh-pooh the flux capacitor and channel the Renaissance and Middle Ages. And they do it using little more than a guitar, accordion and an armful of wind instruments. The songs — all covers or traditional tunes — capture the World Western European genre with an ease typical of such multitalented performers. Resnik, of course, is no stranger to these pages. The host of Vermont Public Radio’s “All the Traditions,” and a regular Seven Days contributor, had his recent release with fellow musician and Highland Weavers bandmate Marty Morrissey — entitled Old and New Songs of Lake Champlain — reviewed only months ago. Demonstrating his collaborative spirit once again, Resnik squeezes his accordion and strums his guitar with aplomb for Twist of the Wrist. His lines dance nimbly between Thompson’s engaging vocals and Wager’s spirited saxophone and flute in a melodic trio fit for a king’s court. Incidentally, most of the tracks on the album are contemporary — written in this century or the last by an assortment of accomplished artists known for “new music that sounds hundreds of years old.” The album boasts no fewer than three Frédéric Paris numbers. The French dance music composer appears a favorite of the Twist crew, particularly that man’s waltzes. Indeed, Twist of the Wrist take particular delight in the waltz, turning to that elegant dance-friendly style frequently. In addition to Paris’ “Retour du Montaignac” and “Derrière Chez Nous,” Chris Wood’s “Elizabeth Clare” and Ian Luff’s “The Old Queen” join the ranks of songs in three-quarter time. Add to that mix “Pender’s Fen” — a “new jig” composed by Jon Swayne — and Daniel Thonon’s dance-inducing “Schottisch Stockfish,” and you have a collection of couples-friendly covers as well suited to summer festival performances as to inspiring casual listeners to add a sprightly skip and a hop to household chores. Press play, close your eyes, and find yourself transported back to a different time and a distant, old world.

tomorrow it will all be history Caught up in Quad-mania? Consider that the tercentenary of Champlain’s discovery of the lake was just as big a deal ... as was the 350th. At those milestone celebrations, reenactments of the discovery become tradition. In 1909, folks created an ambitious historical pageant featuring a native village scene on a floating barge. In 1959, a fleet of 24 canoes (the figure Champlain mentioned in his journals) paddled the lake, staging bloody battles with the Iroquois, in what was called the “Canoecade.” (The whole 350th was known as “Waterama.” Weird.) This time around, increased historical understanding has given us a flotilla of birch-bark canoes — representing Abenaki, Algonquin, Penobscot and Maliseet traditions — that row from Shelburne Bay to the Burlington Waterfront to represent Champlain’s arrival. Folks with canoes or kayaks join in, and crowds barbecuing lakeside greet the paddlers. Grab your oars to help make history. Quadricentennial Birch-Bark Canoe Flotilla

The lakeshore is teeming with acts dropping by for the Burlington International Waterfront Festival, including Le Vent du Nord (“northerly wind”) and Les Cowboys Fringants (“the dashing cowboys”). Never heard of them? Catch the beat at this special Québec All-Stars concert. Winners of a 2004 Juno Award, Le Vent du Nord give a new spark to traditional folk music with spirited step dancing and a vast array of lively instrumentals, featuring the jaw harp, hurdy-gurdy, bodhran and more. Les Cowboys Fringants have revived political songwriting in their “néo-trad” tunes that pep up Québecois folk music with doses of rock and country flair. They’ve even inspired an underground overseas following called “Les Cousins Fringants” — “cousins” being the affectionate French term for their French-Canadian counterparts. Check out our northern neighbors with the light harmonies of these talented quartets.

FOOLS RUSH IN Aching for some variety in your entertainment? The Bindlestiff Family Cirkus’ mix of vaudeville, cabaret, circus and burlesque acts should scratch the itch. The 14-yearold New York City-based troupe, founded by Stephanie Monseu and Keith Nelson, comes to the Queen City in a sophisticated adult performance that leaves “audiences howling in its wake and Samuel de Champlain squirming in his grave,” says event producer and performer Woody Keppel. Physical comedy duo Wells & Woodhead open this shebang with a mishmash of hat tricks, plate spinning and animal stunts characteristic of old-time vaudeville shtick, and Stick and Cedar Hokum offer an interlude of silly, satire-infused sounds. With the requisite anatomical-anomaly humor and juggling of everything from umbrellas to bird cages, this is a surefire escape from anything 1609. ‘FREAKS & FOOLZ’

P’S AND Q’S To pinpoint the sound of young, New York-based band QQQ on a map, you might need to get out scissors and tape to collapse the distance between farflung musical traditions. Their Hardanger-fiddle-heavy airs, combining Norwegian roots with earthy instrumentals, “would probably live somewhere between Oslo, Brooklyn and the hills of Appalachia,” asserts NPR’s “Weekend Edition.” Though the band’s debut album, Unpacking the Trailer, was just released last January, its eclectic approach to contemporary folk goes back 12 years. QQQ is an expansion of the husband-wife duo Trollstilt, made up of fiddler Dan Trueman and acoustic guitarist Monica Mugan. Since adding another married couple to their base (percussionist Jason Treuting and violist Beth Meyers), they’ve been catching the ears of critics everywhere: QQQ are “literally brimming with fresh ideas,” says Time Out New York.

i Spy... HOT LOCAL JOBS I picked up Seven Days to see what was going on this weekend. I usually check out Section B and look at the calendar and club dates. Sometimes I read the Personals and I Spys — but only for entertainment, really. I’m totally in a relationship already! I flipped further and found some really hot jobs. They looked like they were interested in me, but I wasn’t sure until I went online the next day. I found one hot prospect that was just posted that day and wasn’t even in the paper. Even though I’m spoken for, I couldn’t resist. It was a perfect match — what the hell! I emailed my stats and I’m waiting to hear back. In the meantime, I’m following @SevenDaysJobs on Twitter and subscribing to the RSS feed so I won’t miss out on any other opportunities. I wish I knew about all this before and I wouldn’t be stuck in my current situation. I know some friends who are looking, so I emailed them some of the new jobs I found on the Seven Days classifieds website. I’m still curious about my “match” though. Hit me back, will ya? I’d love to meet up sometime soon and tell you all about my qualifications. When: last week. Where: in Seven Days. You: Hot Job. Me: Curious and potentially available. #77777

Dear MM: I am a divorced, middle-aged woman who is happily involved with a passionate man. He has been separated from his second wife for well over a year, and the divorce settlement is almost complete. She has relocated out of state and he resides in Vermont. We have been together for more than six months. I am writing to you because I am troubled that he still wears a wedding ring. I have mentioned it to him on many occasions, and he says he will remove it but never does. I know he is over the relationship and is very happy with me, but I still feel a bit like I am “on the side.” I have my own thoughts but want to hear your take on the situation. He says he wears it as a reminder of his failure — I don’t buy it. Signed, Symbolic Dear Symbolic, Usually women write me about men who have trouble keeping their rings on, not men who refuse to take them off. One thing’s for sure — something’s amiss, and I don’t like it. You have either a guy who isn’t ready to move on from his marriage, or — worst-case scenario — one who’s still married. Not to be overly pessimistic, but have you seen the divorce papers? Have you met this supposed ex? Are you sure you’re not getting played? Or let’s say he’s telling the truth about wearing the ring as a reminder of his failure. That’s a major red flag that he has some serious guilt issues to work through before jumping into a long-term romance with you. He might not be married any longer, but as long as he’s wearing that ring, he’s not emotionally divorced. The bottom line is that until he takes that ring off, he’s not ready to give you the kind of relationship you’re looking for.

Dead ringer,
