OUTING FARO I understand that you had every intention of promoting Faro’s artistic career by writing an article about him and his work [“Draw Like an Egyptian,” June 25]. However, I was struck by the fact that you published his real name and identity. Though I understand that it may have been given to you by the gallery, I think it is safe to say that by publishing that information you may have divulged too much. Faro is an artist whose mediums are not limited to the canvas, and graffiti is a federal offense. Elisabeth Avery NEW YORK
GREAT DAY, EITHER WAY I’m one of the 18 million who supported Clinton. Now I back Obama all the way [“Poli Psy,” June 18]. It is a no-brainer, despite my continued anger over sexist treatment of Clinton, and the ageist treatment of us oldsters (I just turned 60). I did not like everything she did, either. But I appreciated her toughness in foreign policy (even almost forgiving her stupid vote for Bush’s war as a product of the times). I still think her lousy health care plan is way better than his lousy health care plan. Health care is the single most important domestic issue, and he was negotiating against himself before he began. I worried that Obama could
not get anything done beyond speechmaking and would give away the store to the well-heeled special interests who are not going to play nice no matter how nicely he asks them. On the other hand, Obama’s toughness in pushing her aside shows some backbone that bodes well for him managing the job. I worry about Obama’s embrace of ethanol. I have to avoid the blogs now, cuz I shake with fury and impotence at the nasty slurs we old women must put up with from people with not much better to do, it seems. But Obama is going to win, and that will be a great day for America — as it would have been if she had won. Nancy Brockway
baffled as I was before I chanced upon all those young men in white clothing trying to hit a hard ball with a flat (you have to be kidding) bat! I could understand the hitters wearing a protective facemask, heavy gloves (to, I assume, absorb the shock of hitting that hard ball with a flat bat) and long shin and thigh protectors. After watching the pitcher throw as hard as he could, and bounce the ball off the mat (that’s

JOLLY GOOD! I recall one day a number of years ago, while visiting family members in Warren, happening upon a cricket game (sorry, “match”) at the town elementary school field [“Here Comes the Pitch,” June 25]. Sitting on the sidelines was Tim Brookes, a Brit whom I have known for years. Aha, I thought, this is my chance to learn what this sport is all about and how the players score runs and what “innings” meant and why they called time out for tea all the time. Alas, although Tim is one of the most erudite and kind persons I know, his explanations left me as

One More Taxi Story . . . Earlier today, I received an email from Duncan Adamson of South Burlington. One summer afternoon last July, Adamson and his wife took a CCTA bus into downtown Burlington. Then, after a night on the town, they tried to hail a cab at the taxi stand near City Hall Park. No luck. None of the cabbies would pick him up, Adamson claims. Why? ‘Cause none of them, one driver later told him, wanted to have an empty car on the way back to town after dropping Adamson off in South Burlington.

• Loutube News: Video correspondent Lou Armistead’s “Daily Show”-style reports offer an irreverent take on local issues and current events. Or, as Lou likes to call it, “infotainment.” Last week, he took the “Creemee Challenge,” visiting all of Burlington’s creemee stands and ordering a cone at each of them.
I just read a Boston Phoenix feature in which they weighed in on the best musical acts in each of the 50 states. Here is me weighing in on the feature: It blows. I didn’t read each state’s wins. But I did read those of the four states I have lived in. And of course, I paid particular attention to the choices from our great state of Vermont. And so without further ado, here they are:

Let’s break this down one category at a time, shall we? Ok. Phish. We’ve discussed this before. And while I’m not a Phish fan myself, I get it. They were huge, and they came out of Vermont. If notoriety is what makes them best, then yes, they are the best. Job well done, Phoenix. Rudy Vallee, on the other hand . . . are you freaking kidding me? I have nothing against Rudy Vallee as an artist. I would even go as far as to say that I admire his work, and have an appreciation for his influence in early to mid-century music. All that said, dude’s not a Vermonter. Ok, yes, he was born in Island Pond. But he spent all of his formative years in Westbrook, Maine. And his music career? That took place in New York.

In response to an ongoing regulatory brouhaha involving compost operations, solid-waste violations and Abenaki artifacts buried in the area, lawmakers passed a bill last session that exempted all compost operations in the state from regulatory action until 2010. “This was supposed to be a time-out, a hiatus on all regulatory action to allow folks to get together outside of any specific issue and look at how best to regulate compost in the State of Vermont,� said Virginia “Ginny� Lyons, (DChittenden), chairwoman of the Senate Natural Resources Committee. However, after two months of closeddoor negotiations, it is now clear Douglas administration regulators are seeking fixes costing more than $375,000 along with undisclosed fines in order for the compost project to continue operations for the next two years. The state has indicated it may agree to lower fines if the Intervale makes some sweeping changes in how the land is used, according to a July 3 memo obtained by “Fair Game.�
the exemption passed by the legislature applies only to Act 250, not to solidwaste permits or historic preservation. Lyons said Kline is missing the law’s intent. “This was not an opportunity to find another loophole to go after a very important business in our community,� said Rep. Lyons about the bill. “I look at what’s going on and it absolutely confounds me. Why wouldn’t they be solving a problem rather than making it worse?� A good question. Is it politics? Democratic House speaker and gubernatorial candidate Gaye Symington was the center’s development director. She resigned after the GOP tried to make hay of her dual roles. Progressive David Zuckerman, who chairs the House Ag Committee and farms in the Intervale, was singled out, too. Coincidentally, he’s in the process of moving his farming operation to Hinesburg. Is it the environment? It’s compost, not nuclear waste. Archaeology? Since when has the state given a damn about the Abenaki? Whatever the reason, the Intervale wants the talks to end soon. In the memo obtained by “Fair Game,� Dunkiel tells Mark DiStefano,
Archaeology? Since when has the state given a damn about the Abenaki? The memo reveals that state officials want archeological, rather than agricultural, concerns to govern Intervale farming activity. Under this scenario, the Division of Historic Preservation would be the arbiter of how the land is used — from installing a fence to tilling soil — not Act 250, the agencies of Natural Resources or Agriculture, or farmers. The DHP is part of the Agency of Commerce and Community Development, led by former homebuilding exec Kevin Dorn. These changes could spell the end of the Intervale as we know it: 200 community garden plots, 12 small farms, the compost operation, 70 full-time and 44 part-time jobs, and 1 million pounds of local food produced annually. The loss would ripple out further, affecting restaurants, schools and other institutions, as well as farmers who consult with the Intervale on organic practices. Lead attorneys in the Intervale case — ANR General Counsel Scot Kline and the Intervale Foundation’s Brian Dunkiel — refused to comment on the private talks between the state and the Intervale. Both sides hope to reach an agreement this month. Kline defended ANR’s actions, saying
the top environmental lawyer in Attorney General Bill Sorrell’s office, that the Intervale is willing to make amends and pay reasonable penalties — up to $50,000 total — to keep running through 2010. For comparison, ANR imposed the following fines for solid-waste miscreants in the past: eight fines totaling $27,500 in 2007, and 12 fines totaling $12,260 in 2006. For Act 250 violators, the tally was one fine of $65,000 in 2007 and zero in 2006. This makes the Intervale’s counter-offer of $50,000 generous — and the $375,000 in proposed reparations downright absurd. “We are not trying to avoid any environmental compliance or regulatory issues,� said Don McCormick, the Intervale Center’s interim director. “That’s not the battle we’re fighting. We’re fighting for sensible regulation appropriate for an innovative agricultural resource that is building a sustainable food system.� The state, however, may put the Intervale on the hook for damage it did not do. In the memo, Dunkiel asks FAIR GAME >> 13A

the state if it plans to hold the Intervale responsible for all past archeological damage by allowing the DHP to identify all land “compromised” by past uses and deemed as “more sensitive.” Decades prior to the arrival of the Intervale Center and its agricultural activities in 1988, industrial agriculture, pesticide use, an unlined city landfill, abandoned cars and municipal sewage pits depleted the soil. The Intervale’s activities work to counter that damage and bring the land back into balance, said McCormick. Ironically, current ANR Secretary George Crombie was Burlington’s public works director during the 1980s, and oversaw the dumping of tons of municipal sewage into the Intervale. Some might say Crombie should be held responsible for damaging the land rather than the Intervale Center. Though the state has proposed sweeping land-use changes to the Intervale, it has yet to inform a key landowner: the City of Burlington. But Mayor Bob Kiss has heard the news, and he isn’t happy. “I thought progress was being made on these issues. If some of the values the city holds in terms of local food mixed with the history of the Intervale are being compromised, then perhaps it’s time for us to be involved,” said Kiss. “I had hoped we would be able to balance all of these values . . . with these negotiations.” The city retained 1 percent ownership when it sold land to the Intervale Center in 2007. The 199 acres it sold are governed by conservation easements that include an ongoing archaeological assessment. The Vermont Land Trust and Vermont Housing and Conservation Board, parties to the sale, require such covenants. However, as Seven Days reported in April, state historicpreservation officials deny they signed off on the city’s sale, and last fall imposed further restrictions on the land: The DHP quietly designated Burlington’s side of the Intervale (which also spans Colchester and Winooski) as an area of archaeological significance in the state register of historic places — known Abenaki heritage sites are scattered throughout the area. The DHP allowed little, if any, input from the City of Burlington. The designation means any new Act 250 permit for activity in the Intervale would automatically start with the presumption that archaeologically significant items are onsite and might be disturbed. Funny thing is, Abenaki leaders don’t have a problem with the Intervale’s operations. Chief April St. Francis Merrill of the Abenaki Nation
of Missisquoi St. Francis/ Sokoki Band is supportive and has been consulted for years on the project. Abenaki activist Judy Dow of Essex, on the other hand, has a different view. A major critic of the Intervale Center’s operations, she spurred the original state reaction in early 2007, and used her clout as the governor’s appointee to the Vermont Commission on Native American Affairs to push the DHP designation. Last month, noted food author Michael Pollan told a Burlington audience that Vermont was “30 years ahead of the rest of the country” in producing local food for its residents. Given current actions, Vermont’s officials appear to be 30 years behind the curve. Case in point: Agriculture Secretary Roger Albee, who, ironically, introduced Pollan at his talk. Albee seems to be fine with ignoring the federal Clean Water Act’s rules to stop phosphorous runoff from large farms, but he has no problem imposing Federal Emergency Management Agency floodplain rules on small farmers who want to put up hoop houses in Burlington’s Intervale. Hoop houses that are key to growing food year-round. That’ll really help the “Buy Local” movement the governor claims to support. Outside the state, the Intervale has received nothing but kudos. It’s been named one of six national enterprises worthy of “sustainability stardom” by the Kellogg and Gates foundations, and is the focus of an upcoming U.K. documentary on sustainable food systems. Pollan also appears in the film, as does famed chef and localfood proponent Alice Waters. The author of Fast Food Nation, Eric Schlosser, offers some choice words on the subject in this week’s food section. “The Intervale, along with others outside of government, are providing leadership, moving forward on this issue of energy and our local food supply,” Gardener’s Supply founder Will Raap told “Fair Game.” “Yet, the place we find ourselves stuck in is, the government can’t seem to get out of its way in order to provide leadership the way it ought to and accommodate innovation.” One final irony: Last week ANR released a report called “Life After Garbage.” It was crafted by 60 citizen stakeholders who recommend, among other things, that the state divert more organic waste from our garbage to compost and energy, and “manage unused organic materials in a manner that helps to maintain food security in Vermont.” Now, there’s some food for thought.

n Memorial Day 2007, Boris and Marina Katsnelson went to Lakeview Cemetery and planted flowers around the grave of their daughter, Alla, who died at the age of 22 in September 2004. About two weeks later, the Katsnelsons visited the grave, in the Temple Sinai section of the Burlington graveyard, and saw that the flowers had been pulled from the ground. Not long after that, the couple planted another batch of flowers — they were red, Alla’s favorite color — only to discover, two days later, those too had been forcibly removed. On July 1, 2007, Boris and Marina went to Lakeview and planted some pink petunias around Alla’s black granite headstone. Before they left the cemetery, Boris videotaped the gravesite, as well as several others nearby that had also been adorned with flowers or plants. Then he turned the camera on Marina, who read a short statement that concluded, “We want to know who does such an awful thing.” But the Katsnelsons had already discovered the culprit. From the moment they first saw the bare earth around their daughter’s headstone, the couple had in mind it was someone from Temple Sinai who had removed the flowers from Alla’s grave. The following morning, Boris set out to prove it. With video camera in hand, he hid behind some bushes, about 15 feet from the headstone, and waited. After several hours, a woman in light-blue pants and a pale-yellow shirt approached the gravesite and began pulling up the flowers and stuffing them into a plastic grocery bag. The act took less than a minute, after which the woman drove off in a luxury SUV. The Katsnelsons, who are both Jewish, would learn a short time later that the woman in the video was Carol Rubman, a member of the Temple Sinai cemetery board. They were hardly surprised: Since Alla’s death, the couple and the Temple had been engaged in an increasingly acrimonious dispute over her grave, of which the planting and deplanting of petunias are merely emblematic. At the center of the dispute is a
more basic question: Who owns the very ground in which Alla Katsnelson is buried? Next month, unless the Katsnelsons and Temple Sinai can reach an agreement in Chittenden Superior Court, Boris and Marina will likely be ordered to exhume their dead daughter and bury her elsewhere. “In the last four years, we have our daughter’s funeral every day,” said Marina, who emigrated from Russia to the United States with Boris in 1994. “Every day, we have struggled to keep her dead body in the ground and give us some peace.” Alla Katsnelson was only a few months out of Wheaton College in Boston when she died suddenly, on September 25, 2004. A day or so later, Boris and Marina made arrangements through a local funeral home to buy three burial plots — numbered 19, 20 and 21 — from the City of Burlington in the Temple Sinai section of Lakeview. While every Jewish congregation in the Burlington area has a burial ground set aside for its members, Temple Sinai is the only one that owns space in a city-owned ceme-
“He designed it and did the drawings himself,” Burke recalls. “And we were all there when it was placed.” Shortly after Alla’s funeral, Temple Sinai’s Rabbi James Scott Glazier visited Lakeview Cemetery. David Greenberg, an attorney for the Temple, said the rabbi was surprised to see that someone had been buried in Temple Sinai’s section without his knowledge. While non-members, such as Alla Katsnelson, are eligible to be buried in the Temple’s section, Greenberg says it must be approved by Glazier. “The way our rules are, only our rabbi or his designee can perform services there,” he says, “so that we have some control over the type of ceremony, and people feel comfortable that it’s a Jewish cemetery.” Citing a “pastoral duty” to the Katsnelsons, Chasan declined to comment. He referred questions about his communication with Temple Sinai prior to Alla’s burial to Glazier, who acknowledges that Chasan called to tell him that the Katsnelsons had planned to bury Alla in Lakeview Cemetery. However, he says,
At the center of the dispute is a basic question: Who owns the very ground in which Alla Katsnelson is buried? tery. By 1997, those plots had been largely filled, so the Temple bought 26 additional gravesites from the city in an area known as Section 7A. Alla was buried in plot 20 of Section 7A on September 29. Rabbi Joshua Chasan of Ohavi Zedek synagogue conducted the service. Alla’s headstone was designed by her father, who is a draftsman for Cochran’s Inc., a Barre company that makes burial monuments. Peter Burke, a salesman for Cochran’s, says Boris’ design, which features a drawing of Alla, was inspired by a headstone that marks the grave of another young woman in the Temple’s cemetery.
Chasan didn’t make clear that the burial would take place in the Temple Sinai section. “There was a series of mistakes made that led to this entire situation,” Glazier recalls, “and I think that one of them was the lack of clarification as to where the burial would take place.” Another, more significant mistake had been made seven years before Alla Katsnelson’s death. As Glazier’s discovery of the grave revealed, the plots the city sold to the Katsnelsons weren’t the city’s to sell — they had already been purchased, along with 23 others, by Temple Sinai, back in 1997.

VERMONT’S REPUTATION
Cable shouters are outraged over the state’s supposed “kid-glove treatment” of sex offenders. But can the law pick up where parenting skills leave off?
Wayne Gross, director of Burlington’s Department of Parks & Recreation, which has jurisdiction over the two city-owned cemeteries, said the sale was an honest mistake by a relatively new employee. “Somehow,” Gross says, “our cemetery foreman didn’t realize that the lots he was selling had already been sold to the Temple.” In May 2005, eight months after Alla’s funeral, the city agreed to give the Temple three plots and sell them three others for $1350, as compensation for selling the three plots to Boria and Marina. The city also agreed to inform the Katsnelsons that they would have to return the deeds issued by the city and take new ones from the Temple. Greenberg said that didn’t happen as quickly as he had hoped. After the May settlement with the city, the attorney recalls, “I was still writing them, saying ‘Where are our deeds? What are you doing to notify the Katsnelsons?’ Nobody had contacted them.” Meanwhile, Boris and Marina say the Temple began confronting them with complaints about Alla’s grave. At first, it was the headstone, which had never been approved by the Temple’s cemetery committee. The Temple also took issue with corner markers placed by the Katsnelsons on their two other plots, on either side of Alla’s, as well as with the flowers Boris and Marina had taken to planting on their daughter’s grave. Greenberg concedes that Alla’s headstone is identical to another erected by a Temple Sinai family, and that other graves in the section have been adorned with flowers and plants. But, he adds, only the Katsnelsons have so brazenly flouted the Temple’s cemetery rules, which now prohibit flowers and plantings on gravesites. “It was clear they were never going to comply with our reasonable request,” Greenberg says. “I would send them a letter, saying, ‘Please don’t plant flowers.’ They would write back, ‘Your rules don’t apply to us. Other people have flowers, and we’re going to keep putting in flowers.’”
If David Greenberg and Temple Sinai had hopes that the dispute could be settled out of court, they disappeared when Boris videotaped Carol Rubman pulling the flowers from Alla’s grave. On August 8, 2007, shortly after learning of the videotape, the Temple sued Boris and Marina. The initial suit, Greenberg says, merely sought to compel the
to the court. They dismissed the settlement offer as a legal maneuver that would “give Temple Sinai legal rights to continue harassment of the Katsnelson family in the future.” While it is difficult to read the settlement offer and imagine how it might be used to harm the Katsnelsons at some later point, it’s clear that Marina and Boris are loathe to

ALLA’S GRAVE, TWO DAYS AFTER HER PARENTS PLANTED FLOWERS Katsnelsons to abide by the Temple’s cemetery regulations. Later, after the couple continued to challenge a ruling, by Chittenden Superior Court Judge James Pearson, that the city sold the plots in error, Temple Sinai amended its complaint, asking Pearson to order the exhumation of Alla’s body. Says Greenberg, “I’m at a loss to explain why we’re still going at this. The judge has already decided [the Katsnelsons] do not own the graves. But they seem to be driven toward forcing somebody to say, ‘You must exhume the body,’ which they say they don’t want to happen.” Indeed, on June 26, after several months of negotiations, the Katsnelsons rejected an offer from the Temple that would have allowed Alla to remain in plot 20. The couple, which has been through two attorneys and are now representing themselves, submitted a three-page response
part with the original deed to the gravesites they purchased from the city. Even as they prepare for their next day in court — scheduled for the end of August — the distrust they feel toward Temple Sinai runs too deep. Sitting in the kitchen of their New North End home, the Katsnelsons explained that accepting the offer would be tantamount to admitting they had done something wrong, opening the door to their worst fear: the exhumation of their daughter. “The city and Temple Sinai created big mess,” Marina said. “Why are they punishing us? Why not let us be where we are? “If it is so important that we not plant flowers, we won’t have the flowers. But I don’t think it is such a criminal action that has to be punished by making us have a second funeral for our daughter.” >

VAYA CON DIOS, AMIGOS I recently read the review of the new restaurant, Doria’s, in Middlebury, and agreed with most of what Suzanne Podhaizer said [Taste Test, June 25]. But I just had to address the one thing that I feel was not accurate. Suzanne mentioned that two things “survived the transition� from Amigos (the former Mexican restaurant that resided there for 21 years) to Doria’s: buffalo wings and margaritas. The wings and margaritas drew many people into Amigos, but I have to say that these two items on Doria’s menu are not even comparable to Amigos’ recipes.

A TAXI TALE Last Saturday night, we took a Benway’s cab from McKee’s in Winooski to near Ethan Allen Park in the New North End [“Fare Warning,� June 25]. The charge was $22. My wife and I thought it was outrageous and called Yellow Cab to see what they charged and were quoted $11. That will be my last Benway’s fare. James Calame BURLINGTON
AS THE WIND BLOWS Mr. Wileman is obviously correct that the wind blows more than 20 percent of the time [Letters, June 18]. The figure is in reference to something called “capacity factor,� which compares the amount of power a generating facility produces usually in a year to what it could produce in ideal conditions. For wind turbines, this means that the power it delivers is compared to what it could deliver if the wind were blowing all the time at the optimum wind speed and needed no down time for repairs and maintenance. The question is: Why is Vermont’s proven ridgeline generation so low? It is suggested that 1) the wind simply does not blow in the proper operating range as often as it does across the Great Plains, for example; and 2) that the wind in rolling, mountainous terrain is turbulent. Turbulent air causes wind turbines to run less efficiently and, it is charged, makes the power that is produced by those machines more erratic or variable.
Regarding access to wind sites, according to Green Mountain Power, last I checked, which was about two years ago, no one is allowed to wander through the woods at or around the Searsburg turbine installation site. This should be expected to be the case for all high-ridge and mountain-sited commercial turbine installations. The problem may be insurance, and that may have something to do with the ability of blades to throw ice. Paul Kenyon

TRUSTING SHAY Kudos to Shay Totten for setting the record straight on the nonexistent “rift� between Progressive gubernatorial candidate Anthony Pollina and Vermont’s organic farming advocates [“Fair Game,� July 2]. Pollina has been a tireless supporter of Vermont farmers, along with others concerned about the safety and integrity of our food. He was out there advocating for more local food in Vermont two or three decades before it became fashionable. Jim Douglas, on the other hand, only remembers Vermont’s organic farmers and consumers when it is politically expedient, unambiguously preferring the genetically engineered agenda of his agribusiness cronies. Shame on Vermont’s corporatecontrolled media for parroting Douglas’ thoroughly noncredible spin on this story. Brian Tokar

BUSTING SHAY Shay Totten indulges in a bit of self-serving puffery by claiming that he, in connection with some obscure story dealing with a virtually unknown entity identified as NOFA, “. . . did what journalists are supposed to do: pick up the phone and call the source instead of repeating shit spewed on a blog� [“Fair Game,� July 2]. Then in his next item he describes the job cuts to the state’s workforce as layoffs. Let me quote from the Free Press issue of July 2, 2008: “. . . another 250 jobs are scheduled for elimination by the end of December — all without layoffs. Jobs are considered for elimination as workers retire, transfer or leave state government.� I would suggest to Totten that the first thing that “journalists� should do is get the story straight.

t’s taken 10 years and $5 million to refurbish Middlebury’s Town Hall Theater, which reopens this week as a testament to the community’s commitment to preserving its past and enlivening its downtown. A regular slate of performances, starting with an original adaptation of the 1899 play Cyrano de Bergerac, is expected to invigorate Middlebury’s night-life in all seasons. “We’re already filled for the fall,” says Doug Anderson, the venue’s director. In addition to theatrical and musical events — including a local staging in August of the opera La Bohème — the space will be used for weddings, dances, birthday parties, yoga and aerobics classes, Middlebury College student productions and an indoor farmers’ market. “We’re becoming a community center because arts centers don’t pay for themselves,” Anderson explains. He’s got to keep the joint jumping to cover its $300,000 annual operating budget. Unlike municipally subsidized performance spaces such as the Vergennes Opera House, the Town Hall Theater is run by a private, nonprofit corporation. The ability to raise serious money for what Anderson describes as an interior renovation and exterior restoration suggests that the theater’s support circle will find ways to keep its books balanced. The overhaul was initially calculated to cost $1.5 million. But the total turned out to be more than triple that estimate. “Every time we turned around, there was something else that had to be done to the place,” Anderson says. The bell-towered brick building overlooking the town’s green crumbled into disrepair after being sold to private interests in the 1950s. Built in 1884, it originally housed municipal offices as well as a theater used for civic gatherings and entertainments, including a skit by vaudevillian George M. Cohan. As designed by local architect Clinton Smith, the theater featured a curved wooden balcony and an ornate stage. Both were ripped out about 50 years ago.

FROM CYRANO
We’re becoming a community center because arts centers don’t pay for themselves. DOUG ANDERSON, TOWN HALL THEATER Glass of Indiana were encased in bricks. The slate roof developed leaks and the walls started tilting outward at alarming angles. “It was just a big barn filled with bats,” recalls Karen Lefkoe of the Middlebury Actors Workshop. Her semi-professional troupe, which is performing Cyrano this week, began staging plays in the 225-seat theater as it was slowly resurrected. Planners were guided by a single surviving photograph of the original interior archived in the nearby Sheldon Museum of Vermont History. The stage and balcony were rebuilt, a drop ceiling was removed, and the stained-glass windows were unbricked and polished. A few salvaged artifacts, such as a chandelier lit by 40 gas jets, have been modernized for reuse. The building has also been expanded to house the theater’s offices, while other downstairs areas have been transformed into a mirrored rehearsal studio, a 10-person dressing room and an art gallery that opens this week with a show
of photos of Vermont hill farms. A pair of newly installed spiral staircases connects the dressing room to the stage, where a work crew was hanging lights last Saturday afternoon. “It’s like being handed everything you’ve ever dreamed of having,” Melissa Lourie, director of Cyrano, said as she blocked out scenes for the show. “This is going to be a wonderful space for all sorts of performances.” Lourie, an acting instructor at the University of Vermont, said the Middlebury Actors Workshop chose to inaugurate the Town Hall Theater with Cyrano because it’s a “family-friendly, festive piece.” Usually, she added, the workshop stages “edgier” productions. Edgy works fine for Anderson. The Town Hall Theater director points to a flip side of its status as a privately funded institution. “We have to work to stay solvent,” he says, “but unlike the Opera House in Vergennes, we can put on strange and edgy shows without worrying about public funding issues.” >

Burlington Teen Snags Film Prize BY MARGOT HARRISON
M
ost 14-year-olds like to watch movies with cool visual effects, but not so many make their own. Graham Raubvogel of Burlington is an exception. On June 22 the high schooler won first prize at the annual Santa Monica Teen Film Festival for his 9-minute short “Keeping Time,” about a boy struggling to readjust to life after his mother’s death. While the subject matter is not unique, Raubvogel explores it using a variety of creative shots and effects to convey the character’s alienation. In one scene, Oscar (played by fellow Burlington High student Colin DeVarney) has a conversation with several images of himself that represent fragments of his personality. Reached by phone from a sum-
mer filmmaking camp, Raubvogel says that scene required “about 130 different shots, composited with Abobe AfterEffects.” For a long tracking shot in Battery Park, he built a dolly from scrap wood, skateboard wheels and PVC pipe. Total cost of the production: “A little over $100,” says Raubvogel. His camera and other equipment were loaners from Vermont Community Access Media. Raubvogel has been “going around with a video camera” since he was 8, making “really bad home movies,” he says. He got more professional when he began working at CCTV Channel 17 as a community service project for his bar mitzvah, which led to six months
directing “Live at 5:25.” The Santa Monica Fest prize comes with a $350 Best Buy gift certificate and a meeting with 2929 Productions, the company that made Good Night, and Good Luck. Raubvogel hopes to fly to the West Coast for that in August. For now, he says, he wants to “keep on making short films and try to get recognized. I don’t see myself as Michael Bay,” he adds — referring to the guy behind Transformers — “but I do see myself directing films that require lots of visual effects.” > Graham Raubvogel’s films can be seen at www.youtube.com/ grayham42.

Senate’s Dark Knight Talks to Young Comics Artists BY MARGOT HARRISON
B
y now, everyone in Vermont must know that caped-crusader fan Sen. Patrick Leahy pops up in the latest Batman movie, The Dark Knight. On June 25, the Associated Press reported that Leahy orchestrated a Montpelier premiere of the movie six days before its official opening as a benefit for the Kellogg-Hubbard Library. Two Saturday, July 12, screenings at the Capitol Theater will be preceded by a 5:30 p.m. reception at the Capitol Plaza Hotel featuring the senator and Barry Meyer, CEO of Warner Brothers, which is distributing the $180 million film. But before he faces an audience of $50 ticket holders, Leahy will have a word with some fellow hardcore comics fans — kids. At 2 p.m., he’ll show up at the Dark Knight Comics Club, a weekly Kellogg-Hubbard program where kids 8 and up sharpen their inking and storytelling skills. Ben T. Matchstick, the library’s Children’s Programming Coordinator, started the club last Septem-
ber. “We’ll chat about the movie and kids will ask him questions,� says the local theater artist and founder of Montpelier’s Cardboard Teck Instantute, who’s also a selfprofessed “huge comic book fan.
I’m trying to get the kids to really want to show off their work,� Matchstick adds. “It’s a really great chance for us to see a side of Leahy no one gets to see, where he just geeks out on Batman comics.� Though the club meeting is a closed event, Matchstick says the public is invited to a subsequent performance of Burlington band Space Tiger — featuring 9year-old rocker Aidan Patterson
Deutsch — on the library lawn. When he founded the club, Matchstick was “specifically trying to target older boys to come back to the library,� he says. Senator Leahy clearly has fond memories of his own childhood library — the KelloggHubbard — to which he’s donated the royalties from another cinematic Batman appearance and voiceover work on the animated series. Leahy won’t be the last star guest to grace the comics club — Matchstick says upcoming meetings will host Burlington’s James Kochalka and New Hampshire picture-book artist D.B. Johnson. Do comic books belong in the library? Absolutely, says Matchstick: “It’s a different kind of reading, but a very sophisticated kind of reading. Having a comics club should be a prerequisite of a children’s library.� > Some tickets for The Dark Knight reception and premiere were still available at press time.

Almost, Maine Playwright Has Vermont Ties BY ELISABETH CREAN
op quiz: What is the largest county — and one of the most sparsely populated — east of the Mississippi? Surprisingly, it’s not located in some large Southern or Midwestern state. Aroostook County is the Northeast Kingdom of Maine, and the setting for John Cariani’s play Almost, Maine (2004), opening at St. Michael’s Playhouse next week. You can get there from here, but since most of Aroostook is roadless, it’s tricky. And Colchester, Vermont, is a lot closer. Cariani, 38, an actor and playwright now based in Manhattan, grew up in remote Presque Isle. (The town’s population, around 11,000 when he was a child, has dwindled to about 9000, he says.) But he also has close Vermont ties — his mother is a native of Richmond — and fond memories of twice-yearly childhood visits to the comparatively bustling Champlain Valley. “Burlington was always this beautiful city that we went to, because of the lake, because of the churches,� he remembers. “We used to love to go on the ferry to the Adirondacks . . . and all the cool stores on Church Street.� The remoteness of the fictional town of Almost informs the story, a series of midwinter meditations on love. The northern lights hover, so the possibility of magic looms for all the couples. Rugged conditions, however, mitigate sappy happy endings. Call it romantic comedy with its feet on the ground. The playwright doesn’t want love stories to wrap with fairy-tale finality. “Each ending is a new beginning,� Cariani reflects. “I think it’s better when you make the audience wish for the joy, rather than just giving it to them.� If the story is played “just for the sweetness in the Valentine, it’s a really bad play.�

JOHN PATRICK HAYDEN AND KATE WEATHERHEAD To guard against this, he filled the script with very specific stage directions, guided by his experiences as an actor. (Impressive highlights grace his acting resume, including a 2004 Tony nomination for Best Supporting Actor in Fiddler on the Roof and a 2002-07 recurring role on “Law and Order� as a forensics expert.) “When I was studying, we were taught to cross out stage directions. And I think when you do that, you lose the story that the playwright is trying to tell,� he says. Cariani didn’t set out to write plays, but fell into it as he struggled to find fresh material for auditions. “Once a piece is found, it’s done all the time,� he recalls. “So I started writing little monologues for myself, and I’d go in and lie — I’d just make up a playwright

BUYING VS. RENTING
Buying vs. renting a home is a big decision that takes careful consid10:45:23 AM eration. Although there are many costs and responsibilities associated with home ownership, the rewards can be significant. Look at it this way: If you are paying $1,000 per month for an apartment, and your rent increases 5% every year, over the next five years alone you will pay your landlord over $66,000! Through home ownership you can minimize this huge expense by building equity and benefiting from the tax advantages of home ownership. In fact, depending on your tax bracket, the net monthly cost of owning a home can, in some cases, be less expensive than renting. Today there are still many different types of loan programs available, including low and no down payment mortgages. Housing is an expense that takes a big bite out of the monthly budget. If you are a renter you should consider the advantages of purchasing real estate. Home ownership is an achievement that offers a sense of pride, financial stability and tax advantages.

True Stories Behind Vermont Homes
BY CECIL ADAMS
ALL WORTHWHILE HUMAN KNOWLEDGE
Cecil, Can one develop resistance to pepper spray through one’s diet? I have been the subject of conversation in my workplace because of my tolerance to pepper spray in training sessions, and I normally eat spicy foods. Irma
ILLUSTRATION: SLUG SIGNORINO
Dear Cecil, I’ve heard of high explosives, but is there such a thing as low explosives? C-W All too often explosives enthusiasts fall prey to the biggeris-better mentality. It’s refreshing to see someone take an interest in the subtler, less potent stuff. Yes, there are low as well as high explosives. To get the distinction between the two, we need to think a minute about what happens when something goes boom. Generally speaking, a chemical explosive is a substance that can be made to undergo a reaction in which it rapidly releases heat and highly pressurized gas. Once the reaction gets started it travels through the mass of explosive in a wave, and it’s the speed of this wave that in large part determines the force of the explosion; having lots of explosive go off in a very short time makes for a more concentrated and powerful blast. One way of increasing the reaction velocity and thus the explosive force is through confinement: If the explosion takes place in a tightly enclosed space, more of the gas and heat sticks around and sets off the rest of the explosive more quickly. With these concepts in mind, we can run down the different classes of explosive as defined by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms: • A high explosive is one that can be detonated by a blasting cap (a small explosive designed to set off a larger charge) when unconfined. Note that we’re not using detonated in its standard dictionary sense of “blown up.” In the explosives biz, detonation refers specifically to an explosion in which the reaction travels through the explosive faster than the speed of sound, creating an extremely powerful and fast-moving shock wave. Hallof-fame high explosives include dynamite and TNT; the phrase dates from the 1870s, not long after such things were first developed. • A low explosive, by contrast, is one that can be made to deflagrate (read: burn very quickly) when confined. Here the reaction wave moves at subsonic speed but still generates plenty of force under the right confinement conditions. It’s the deflagration of modern smokeless gunpowder that drives a bullet down the barrel of a firearm; old-school gunpowder, or black powder, is also a low explosive, as are most large pro-grade fireworks. • Blasting agents are mixtures of fuel and oxidizer that can’t be detonated by a certain gauge of blasting cap when unconfined; they may require a series of gradually larger preliminary explosives to get them to go off. The best-known stuff in this class is probably the combo of ammonium nitrate fertilizer and the drag-racing fuel nitromethane that was used in the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City in April 1995.
Super Deal for a SUPER House
Hang on, Irma — what job do you have where you and your coworkers receive faces full of pepper spray in the course of training? Are you a story editor at Jackass? Hazing coordinator at Fort Benning? In any case, no, under ordinary conditions eating spicy food won’t help you build up a tolerance for pepper spray. For one, spicy food is designed to go in your mouth, where it irritates whatever mucous membranes it encounters. Some find this sensation pleasant, some don’t, but the effects are pretty well contained and ordinarily don’t interfere with vision or breathing. Pepper spray, on the other hand, does its incapacitating thing by getting in your eyes, nose, sinuses and lungs — an experience that an extra splash of hot sauce can’t really prepare you for. And while it’s true that both pepper spray and spicy food get their kick from the same source — the chemical compound capsaicin and some of its close relatives — the pepper-spray manufacturers use a lot more of the stuff. Pepper heat is measured in Scoville units: Tabasco sauce registers at about 4000 units; a raw jalapeño might get up around 8000. But pepper sprays routinely boast Scoville scores of 2,000,000 and up. Experts point out that pepper-spray quality control isn’t what it could be — the contents of two identical cans will often vary wildly in apparent potency. Still, there are a few orders of magnitude between lamb vindaloo and anything you might spray on a mugger. OK, OK. If you’re (a) a devotee of those idiotic boutique hot sauces — you know, the ones with names like Liquid Shrapnel or Ebola Juice — that claim Scoville ratings in the mid-six figures as well as (b) a very enthusiastic eater who tends to get a lot of food accidentally lodged beneath her eyelids, fine, maybe you’ve improved your resistance to pepper spray a bit. Me, I’d guess you came by your tolerance naturally rather than via the contents of your lunch pail. CECIL ADAMS

Moving to the Write Why does Vermont have more scribes than any other state?
T STORY
KEVIN J. KELLEY IMAGE
MICHAEL TONN
wo drunks were scuffling in the middle of a street in Orleans when Howard Frank Mosher and his wife, Phillis, arrived there in 1964 to interview for teaching jobs. Mosher gingerly interrupted the fist fight to ask for directions to the local high school. The men said the route was tricky, Mosher recalls, so they stumbled into the couple’s car to guide the visitors to their destination. “That car smelled like a Budweiser brewery for a week afterward,” Mosher says, but the brawlers did help the outof-staters get where they were going. After thanking the tipsy pair, Mosher noticed in his rearview mirror that they had resumed their dust-up. “Welcome to the Northeast Kingdom,” Mosher remembers his wife saying. Such anecdotes are rich material for fiction — certainly for Mosher, who says odd incidents and quirky figures characteristic of Vermont helped inspire his nine novels set in the Kingdom. Could the eccentricities of Green Mountain life explain the findings of a recent survey by the National Endowment for the Arts, which indicate that Vermont has the highest proportion of writers in the United States? Nearly 700 Vermonters identified themselves as poets, playwrights, novelists, biographers or other kinds of nontechnical writers in census data analyzed by the NEA. That means 11.3 in 10,000 Vermont residents list their primary occupation as “writer,” compared with a 10.8 ratio for New York, the state that reports the second thickest concentration. The figure is a significant increase over 1990, when 472 Vermonters called themselves “writers.” (This is the first time the NEA has analyzed the census figures in terms of the state-by-state distribution of creative professions, says spokesman Sunil Iyengar.) Vermont also ranks high in the NEA’s per-capita breakdown for artists in general. Founded as an independent republic, Vermont has always been relatively tolerant of outsized individualism, points out Yvonne Daley, the author of Vermont Writers: A State of Mind, a book of interviews with 21 writers, including a few bestsellers, who have made the state their home. Vermont’s libertarian streak doesn’t just allow colorful characters to proliferate; it makes writers themselves feel welcome. Stand-outs include Julia Alvarez, an immigrant from the Dominican Republic living in Middlebury; and Jamaica Kincaid, born in Antigua and residing in Bennington. “It’s possible to do and be what you want here,” observes Pat Goudey O’Brien, president of the League of Vermont Writers. With 200 members, the league offers otherwise solitary word-workers a community. The presence of many writers amid a small general population does enable “as much social engagement as you want,” says poet Leland Kinsey. A seventh-generation Vermonter of Scottish stock, Kinsey quickly adds, “or as little engagement as you want.” Some successful Vermont writers live and mingle in Burlington or other population centers, but a sizeable number choose the solitude of the deep countryside — albeit with regular forays into the wider world. For example, David Budbill, author of the echt Vermont play Judevine,
settled on a remote northern hillside in 1969 after fleeing New York City, which, even then, had proved unaffordable for a struggling young wordsmith. “You’re going to be poor as a writer anyway,” Budbill comments, “so you might as well be poor in a place you really like.” He built his own house, grew his own vegetables, cut his own firewood and cultivated his creativity with prompts from locals who lived well outside the American mainstream. Budbill also developed a close relationship with nature that became central to his poetry. He now composes in a style inspired by traditional Chinese verse, which, he notes, usually includes people in the natural settings it evokes. “The environment here is critically important to me,” Budbill says, citing similarities between the Green Mountains and China’s Jade Mountains. In both, he remarks, “human beings live in a kind of balance with nature.” The absence of urban distractions and the proximity of plants and animals are also essential to the work of Galway Kinnell, whom Daley describes as “probably America’s best poet.” With his nearest neighbors about a mile away, Kinnell says he sometimes feels “like I’m the only person on Earth.” In Sheffield, Kinnell can readily engage in “the interchange between outer phenomena, such as a frog, and the emotional world inside” that, he says, constitutes the basis for poetry. “Metaphor is concocted by the connection of something outside and something inside,” Kinnell explains. Referring to that froggy muse, he says, “I can sit all morning and write about it. You can’t do that in most places.” At the same time, “if I spent all my life in Vermont, it would be too narrow a life,” Kinnell adds. “And the same would be true if I lived only in New York City,” where Kinnell resides for part of the year.
Budbill also regularly travels to New York, where he sometimes recites his poems to jazz accompaniment. Those trips enable him to stay in touch with black and Latino friends. “I wish Vermont weren’t so white,” he says, when asked if there are qualities of the state that might discourage writers from moving here. Though it lacks the ethnic and cultural diversity of the metropolis, Vermont does have the unusual advantage of affording both rural refuge and easy access to three great cities: New York, Boston and Montréal. That serves as a powerful attraction to writers, suggests Alex Aldrich, director of the Vermont Arts Council. “Technology makes Vermont even more amenable,” he adds. UPS trucks have long negotiated their way — along dirt roads — to service Vermont writers, but now agents and editors are only an email away. Unlike actors or musicians, Aldrich notes, writers don’t need physical venues as outlets for their work. Because the state has comparatively few concert halls and theaters — not to mention audience members to fill them — “it’s really difficult to make a living in Vermont as a performing artist,” Aldrich says. What the state does have in relative abundance are colleges. And those are vital institutions for writers, both as training grounds and sources of employment. Premier among them is Middlebury College with its Bread Loaf summer writers’ workshop. Daley notes that several authors adopted Vermont as their home after attending Bread Loaf sessions or graduating from other schools with strong creative writing programs, such as Goddard and Bennington colleges. And at some point, the concentration of writers reaches critical mass, and the ranks become self-perpetuating, says O’Brien, herself a transplant. Her organization serves as a welcoming network for writers who want their work critiqued from a variety of perspectives, she adds. This July 19, the League of Vermont Writers will bring representatives from several New York literary agencies to the Champlain College
campus, where authors who fork over a sizeable fee — $100 for members, $125 for newcomers — will get a chance to pitch their ideas to the pros. While Vermont’s “profound sense of place” helps draw writers to the state, once here many find it compelling subject matter. The setting of a story “shouldn’t be just scenery but a reason for what happens in a book,” suggests Nancy Means Wright, Cornwall-based author of 14 books. “I get all my plots out of Vermont.” Four vividly different seasons contribute to the state’s strong self-definition, Wright adds, noting that mud season plays a leading role in one of her mysteries. Wheelock novelist Don Bredes also spotlighted it in his acclaimed mystery The Fifth Season. Not all writers who live in Vermont use it as a setting — Sarah Strohmeyer, author of the popular Bubbles mysteries, says an “established writer” actually discouraged her from situating a novel in Vermont. “The bottom line is the population issue. Books that are set in Vermont just don’t resonate with readers nationwide,” she notes, adding that “Archer Mayor could have been a humongous James Patterson-like success” if he hadn’t set his novels here. “Chris Bohjalian might have a different view,” she says of the bestselling Lincoln novelist. No one is more familiar with the risks of writing regional fiction than Mosher. He recently went on an extended book tour to promote On Kingdom Mountain, a novel steeped in the scents, sights and sounds of the Northeast Kingdom. “It was tough to drum up interest in that book,” Mosher says. Indeed, authentic regionalism may be a vanishing genre in American fiction, Mosher adds. “Places with distinctive characteristics are disappearing. Vermont itself, even the Kingdom, is becoming homogenized.” As the state’s stock of unique attributes slowly wanes, will the number of self-proclaimed writers wane with it? Only time — and perhaps another NEA survey 10 years hence — will tell. m

lancing up at the rear-view mirror, I recognized the attractive young woman sitting and laughing with her boyfriend in the back of my taxi. When you run into someone outside the usual context, it can throw you, but not with this woman. The giveaway was those killer brown eyes, a sight worth beholding. “Well, then” — I began speaking before either of them could give me the destination — “I’ll take the tofu scramble, light on the pesto.” Renata’s head snapped forward to look at her cabdriver as her brain instantaneously performed the recalibration. “OK, OK,” she said with a girlish giggle. “It’s Jernigan, right? From the restaurant.” For years now, I’ve gotten together at Penny Cluse for semi-regular lunch dates with my pal Erik. This Burlington eatery — a hip, moderately priced breakfast and lunch spot — has been a hit since its doors opened 10 years ago. Erik and I dig everything about the place, especially the tasty food. In the spirit of full disclosure, let’s also place high on our favorites list some of the prettiest waitresses in town,
One of my favorite things about life in Burlington is the one or two degrees of separation. Everybody knows everybody or knows somebody who does. half of whom, like Renata, seem to be actresses, dancers or in some other fashion connected with the arts. “Yup,” I said with a grin, “the one and only.” “The light pesto tofu scramble — who else could it be?” she said, vigorously nodding in comic acknowledgment of her superior abilities of deduction. “Tom, this is Jernigan. He’s a regular at the Cluse with Erik, who I think I’ve told you about. You know — the writing teacher?” One of my favorite things about life in Burlington is the one or two degrees of separation. Everybody knows everybody or knows somebody who does. To some, this feels claustrophobic; to me, it’s one, big, most-of-the-time happy family. “Great to meet you,” Tom said, reaching over the seat for a handshake. “We’re going to Howard Street, by the way.” “Jeez, thanks,” I said, hitting the accelerator. “We woulda sat here all night.” As we rolled south, Renata said, “It’s so funny that you’re buds with Erik. How long have you actually known him?” “My goodness,” I reminisced, “it goes back to the mid-’80s when I was running a number of cabs. Erik drove for me just

DOCKS, MOORINGS & STAIRWAYS “Well,” she began dramatically, “a few years ago I was waitressing at Handy’s Lunch. You know — the place on Maple Street?” “Sure do,” I replied. “That old greasy spoon harkens back to the very beginnings of what became the Handy family commercial empire, I guess you’d have to call it at this point.” “So, this pleasant guy, maybe around 40, is showing up for lunch every couple of days. There was something about him NOW ACCEPTING ORDERS FOR that I liked, and we would chat a little bit as the weeks went on.

One of these corner homes was rumored to be or have been a brothel staffed by Eastern European hookers. But what do I know? When it comes to such stuff, I take my cue from that lyric on the old “Hee Haw” TV show: I don’t go around repeating gossip, so you better get it right the first time. In front of Renata’s apartment, we eased to a stop. Before I could tell them the fare, she said, “Rye bread.” “Rye bread?” I asked, momentarily baffled by the random carb reference. “Yup, rye bread. That’s the type of bread you order with your tofu scramble.” “Renata, you are exactly correct,” I said — and thought, These Penny Cluse waitresses aren’t merely the best looking; they are just flat-out the best. >

TURN, TURN, TURN A carousel project at the Shelburne Museum puts a new spin on history CONSERVATOR RICK KERSCHNER AT THE ROUND BARN
C
hances are most Vermonters have never encountered Rick Kerschner, or the lion, tiger, reindeer, horses, giraffes, and goats he has been taming for the last 20 years. These circus animals aren’t penned up in cages or performing tricks under a big top; most of them are on display at the Shelburne Museum along with some of the country’s most celebrated works of folk art. But not all the animals in the historic Dentzel Carousel are ready for prime time in the museum’s Round Barn. One brown horse, dubbed Bucephelus, resides quietly at a one-story red building across the street from the museum, in a tiled space that looks like a seventh-grade chemistry classroom. It’s the Shelburne Museum Conservation Lab, where Kerschner, a balding man with warm blue eyes, has been on the job since it opened in the early 1980s. During more than two decades as chief conservator — and now director of conservation and preservation — Kerschner has salvaged countless museum artifacts, including paintings, quilts, carriages and paper. But no single project has absorbed Kerschner’s time and attention quite like this vintage merrygo-round. Manufactured in 1902 by the Pennsylvaniabased Gustav A. Dentzel Company, the 40 animals that once rode in the Dentzel Carousel, as well as its 27 painted canvases, four chariots and circus organ, were the mainstay of an upstate New York amusement park until a 1929 flood put an end to the fun. In 1950, Shelburne Museum founder Electra Havemeyer Webb purchased the carousel and hauled it across Lake Champlain to Vermont. But the carousel was never reconstructed on museum grounds. It wasn’t until the late ’80s, when Kerschner decided to resurrect the wooden animals, that Bucephelus and his pals began to regain their respective strides.

Kerschner welcomes a reporter into his lab. It smells funny. That, the conservator explains, could be a cosmetics compound he uses to restore historic artifacts. All summer, his assistants have been using a cocktail of modern compounds to clean dark-brown stains off Bucephelus’ body. Years of linseed-oil coatings, Kerschner explains, made white Bucephelus look as though he had been doused with “tobacco juice.” As evinced by its high-tech cleaning process, the conservation lab strikes an intriguing balance between scientific innovation and old-time charm. Against one wall, for instance, glass jars full of clear liquids recall an old-fashioned pharmacy. In a far corner is ensconced the mini carriage piloted by Tom Thumb in P.T. Barnum’s famous 19thcentury circus. Bucephelus, a pygmy-sized horse named after Alexander the Great’s equine companion, has a brown mane and bands of medieval-looking red trim. Like the circus animals on display in the barn across Route 7, Bucephelus saw a few decades’ worth of wear and tear in upstate New York. And yet, restoration has imbued him with a regal aspect — imagine a pony from a county fair prancing around King Arthur’s Court. While Kerschner explains the ins and outs of the horse-restoration process, Eileen Sullivan, a graduate student from Buffalo, rubs a cotton swab over Bucephelus’ brass medallions. “We just opened our fifth box of cotton,” she reports with a sigh. “But it’s worth it by the time it’s done,” Kerschner counters. The Dentzel Carousel conservation project certainly requires patience. It takes interns like Sullivan a full summer to remove the existing lin-

All summer, his assistants have been using a cocktail of modern compounds to clean dark-brown stains off Bucephelus’ body. Years of linseed-oil coatings, Kerschner explains, made white Bucephelus look as though he had been doused with “tobacco juice.” As evinced by its high-tech cleaning process, the conservation lab strikes an intriguing balance between scientific innovation and old-time charm. Against one wall, for instance, glass jars full of clear liquids recall an old-fashioned pharmacy. In a far corner is ensconced the mini carriage piloted by Tom Thumb in P.T. Barnum’s famous 19thcentury circus. Bucephelus, a pygmy-sized horse named after Alexander the Great’s equine companion, has a brown mane and bands of medieval-looking red trim. Like the circus animals on display in the barn across Route 7, Bucephelus saw a few decades’ worth of wear and tear in upstate New York. And yet, restoration has imbued him with a regal aspect — imagine a pony from a county fair prancing around King Arthur’s Court. While Kerschner explains the ins and outs of the horse-restoration process, Eileen Sullivan, a graduate student from Buffalo, rubs a cotton swab over Bucephelus’ brass medallions. “We just opened our fifth box of cotton,” she reports with a sigh. “But it’s worth it by the time it’s done,” Kerschner counters. The Dentzel Carousel conservation project certainly requires patience. It takes interns like Sullivan a full summer to remove the existing lin-

seed-oil coatings of a single animal and apply fresh coats of synthetic varnish. Fifteen more creatures await treatment. Meanwhile, thanks to an $82,000 grant from the D.C.-based Institute of Museum and Library Services, Kerschner and his assistants are also patching and cleaning the 27 painted panels that used to line the carousel interior. Each panel takes between two and three weeks to finish, and the crew is about halfway through the collection. Then there’s the Dentzel Carousel organ, stray pieces of which litter a nearby table. Kerschner says he knows a guy who will replace the missing parts. All told, the Dentzel Carousel conservation project will be complete in about seven years — after more than a quarter-century of swabbing and polishing. “We want to finish before I retire,” the 57year-old conservator says good-naturedly, “when I’m 65.”
Kerschner’s first brush with art conservation occurred in 1974 while he was touring the Netherlands with the U.S. Army. One day, the young soldier walked into an Amsterdam museum where, years before, a famous Rembrandt painting, “The Night Watch,” had been vandalized. What really impressed Kerschner wasn’t the masterwork itself, but all the labor that had gone into restoring it. After returning to the states, Kerschner signed up for undergraduate classes at the Maryland Institute College of Art. During a class field trip, he toured a conservation lab at the Baltimore Museum of Art. When one of the museum staffers explained that conservation requires a background in both science and art, Kerschner, who at the time was studying both, discovered his calling. More than 30 years later, Kerschner is a leading figure in Vermont conservation circles, as well as a mentor and advocate. A former treasurer of the American Institute for Conservation of Historic and Artistic Works, he goes around the country lecturing on techniques he has developed to minimize negative effects of environmental factors — such as humidity and light exposure — on historic artifacts. One of his simple innovations is lining the bottom of museum display cases with silica gel — a.k.a., the stuff in the little packets that comes in your vitamin bottles. Chris Hadsel is a former director of the Vermont Museum and Gallery Alliance, a consortium of about 200 Vermont collecting institutions. She confirms that Kerschner is a national innovator in the field of preventive conservation. Kerschner has pioneered a “low-tech, hands-on approach,” Hadsel explains, “rather than telling people to go out and buy fancy-dancy” humidification systems. If the word “preventive” sounds like something from a pamphlet at the dermatologist’s office, that’s the point: Kerschner likens his conservation work to preventive health care. Just like the human body, he explains, historic artifacts require more time and money to fix once they’ve been damaged or abused. And like effective preventive medical treatments, skilled conservation work often goes unnoticed. “Once something is completely restored, you forget about how it used to be,” Kerschner says, pausing to gaze admiringly at the century-old horse Sullivan is polishing. “People see this and they really never know what kind of work went into it.”
Before devoting time and money to restoring lost treasures, it helps to know what’s worth saving. This month, the Vermont Historical Society and Vermont Museum and Gallery Alliance are asking state residents to document their collection needs (see sidebar).

No single project has absorbed the Shelburne conservator’s time and attention quite like this vintage merry-go-round. Vermonters aren’t always aware of the cultural treasures right under their noses. Over the last decade, Hadsel has raised and spent about a half-million dollars to restore more than 100 Vermont theater curtains; she says it could be the largest conservation project currently underway in New England. Many people who have volunteered to help were previously unaware that the curtains even existed. In some cases, Hadsel recalls, the curtains “had been rolled up with baling twine, or stuck above the ceiling or under the stage for so long that even the town clerks had no idea what they had!” What’s more, notes State Archivist Gregory Sanford, not every cultural treasure is as visible as a Dentzel Carousel or a painted theater curtain. He should know: While some of the documents Sanford restores — such as Vermont’s original 1777 constitution or its copy of the Bill of Rights — have obvious
cultural significance, countless others just sit in filing cabinets. Think town charters and land records. That makes it hard, Sanford says, to get towns excited about investing in conservation. “Conservation-type work is not the sexy work,” suggests Eileen Corcoran, executive director of the Vermont Museum and Gallery Alliance. Her Vergennes office is headquartered at the Lake Champlain Maritime Museum, where specialists conserve marine artifacts. “One of the reasons it’s so difficult to find funding is because it’s not the flashy stuff, or the exhibit itself, or the educational program,” Corcoran adds. “It’s the stuff that needs to be done so that you can utilize what you have.” According to Corcoran, most of Vermont’s museum and gallery operators are having an increasingly >> 28A

hard time securing conservation funds. That’s partly because VMGA’s initial 10-year grant for conservation began to dry up in 2002, she says, and also because donors nationwide are now earmarking grant money for specialized programming that doesn’t go directly toward “nuts-and-bolts types of work” like conservation. That assessment resonates with Maureen Labenski, curator of the volunteer-run DAR John Strong Mansion Museum in West Addison. The former home of Revolutionary War veteran John Strong houses furniture, paintings and household objects from the 18th and 19th centuries. Labenski says small Vermont museums have to be creative. For example,
Kerschner of the Shelburne fixed a big “climate-control issue” in the museum’s basement by installing a new boiler, and the nonprofit Preservation Trust of Vermont contributed money towards the repair of some leaky windows. In order to keep things going, Labenski says, the Strong periodically sells items from its permanent collection to keep its most valuable artifacts safe. To some extent, large collecting institutions have a leg up on smaller ones when vying for conservation funding. Most federal grants from such sources as the Institute of Museum and Library Services, the National Endowment for the Humanities and the National Endowment for

SURVEY SEZ?
On July 14, two interns from the Vermont Historical Society in Barre will begin crisscrossing the state on a two-week treasure hunt. They aren’t looking for gold or silver, but feedback. The interns are facilitating a 14-page statewide survey of Vermont’s collecting institutions that attempts to assess collections-related “needs.” Queries range from administrative (“In what county are you located?”) to wonkish (“What estimated percentage of your collection is stored in areas you consider to be an adequate environment?”), and will be answered in print and online. The survey is being supplemented by a series of statewide meetings that feature presentations by local historical gurus from each region. The basic idea behind the survey, says Vermont Historical Society Curator Jackie Calder, is twofold: to ensure that Vermont’s collections are well cared for, and to give grant makers a better idea of what makes up Vermont’s cultural heritage. The H-word, in this case, isn’t limited to fine art — Calder says many historic artifacts, books, manuscripts and papers are also worth conserving. The federally funded survey’s notion of “collecting institution” is similarly elastic: In addition to museums, galleries and historical societies, it is being mailed to public libraries, town clerks and probate courts. Such a survey is important, says Eileen Corcoran of the Vermont Museum and Gallery Alliance, because “pretty much everything we have is in a constant state of deterioration.” Ultimately, notes State Archivist Gregory Sanford, any discussion about Vermont’s cultural heritage pits past against present. Sanford says information from the survey will help state and local officials make difficult budgetary decisions between conservation — think circus carousels, theater curtains and town charters — and social services. Vermont legislators have already made their bias toward the present clear on at least one front. John Dumville, Historic Sites Operations Chief for the Vermont Division for Historic Preservation, reports that the state’s general fund usually provides about $700,000 for maintenance and staffing at 10 historic sites, including the Justin Morrill Homestead in Stafford and the Old Constitution House in Windsor. This year, however, the money — which happens to be the same amount allocated to University of Vermont researchers last year for investigating hydrogen- and bio-based fuels — has been halved. As a result of the budget cut, efforts to expand an education program at the Calvin Coolidge homestead in Plymouth have been halted. That’s where Coolidge, a Vermont native, was sworn into the presidency by lantern light on the night of August 3, 1923, after President Warren Harding died unexpectedly. According to Freedom and Unity, an authoritative history of the state, Coolidge’s swearing-in ceremony is one of the “iconic moments of Vermont history.” “We’re a small state, so it’s a small amount of money,” Dumville says of the fiscal belt-tightening. “But for us, it’s a big amount of money.” To download the collection-needs survey, visit http://vermonthistory. org/index.php?Itemid=262&id=450&option=com_content&task=view.

the Arts require 50-50 matches for conservation projects, explains Vermont Historical Society Curator Jackie Calder. With more resources, she says, “big dogs” such as the Shelburne Museum can leverage local dollars to match federal ones; smaller museums typically cannot. Even the Shelburne, however, has had to sell off items — known as “deaccessioning” — in its collection to fund conservation initiatives. In the 1990s, the museum sold several European and American paintings in order to establish a $25 million conservation endowment. Proceeds from the fund now pay Kerschner’s salary. “We realized what it would really take to take care of our collections,” he recalls. In addition to financial concerns, there’s the threat of fire or flood. A tour of the Shelburne provides an impromptu illustration: Two hours after greeting a reporter at the conservation lab, Kerschner strolls across Route 7 and discovers a fire truck circling the museum grounds. A friendly guy who works in shirtsleeves, Kerschner isn’t alarmed by the truck’s presence. But he’s not exactly relaxed, either. “I don’t see any smoke,” Kerschner calls out to a museum staffer standing outside the building with a walkie-talkie. “But there’s something going on in there!” Minutes later, officials discover that a ventilator in a historic wooden building has been drawing in smoke from a nearby bread oven. The place is just one of the museum’s 27 historic structures, Kerschner explains; as today’s scare makes clear, even a $130,000 computerized building monitoring system isn’t a guarantee against catastrophe. Emergency planning is a hot topic in contemporary historicpreservation circles. According to the “Heritage Health Index,” a 2005 report sponsored by the Institute for Museum and Library Services, more than three-quarters of American museums and historical societies have no emergency plan. Rick Kerschner estimates that the majority of Vermont’s historical societies don’t have a written plan for an unexpected disaster. Kerschner has his own concerns about safety. Over the last decade, the National Endowment for the Humanities has given the museum about $2 million to enact security, fire safety and climate-control improvements. This year, however, the money may be cut from the federal budget. The conservator says he’s appealing to Senator Patrick Leahy to restore the NEH money. But since the museum is also asking Leahy to help earmark funding for collections programming, his appeal may go unanswered. Kerschner says the NEH funding issue speaks to a “healthy tension” between preservation and access. Generally speaking, conservators are more concerned with minimizing humidity and light exposure, he notes, while curators, museum directors and donors want collections to be viewed. Case in point: When museum directors ask to host a reception in

the building that houses Monet paintings, Kerschner asks them to serve white wine, rather than red. If the weather’s nice, he requests that caterers set up outside. The same dilemma applies to circus carousels. Around the time Kerschner started working in the conservation lab, the Shelburne Museum purchased a second carousel. Now that bright assemblage of mirrors, circus music and red paint sits
promise.” If every cultural artifact were perfectly conserved, it would last forever, he points out. “But what good is it if no one sees it?” The Shelburne Museum’s Round Barn is a red, 107-year-old structure that was built in East Passumpsic and moved to the museum in the mid-’80s. When Kerschner enters the building around 11:15, a gaggle of boisterous children has already gathered around

Although it will eventually be “destroyed” as a result of such heavy use, the working carousel frees up the Dentzel one to be presented and viewed as a work of art. One is also a great promotion for the other. Strolling the museum grounds en route to the Round Barn, Kerschner says he is cheered by the knowledge that the Dentzel Carousel will be viewed by future generations. But not ridden by kids; it’s a “com-

Before shuffling off to another new exhibit, one boy peers closely at the rear quarters of a Dentzel horse. “The tails are real!” he exclaims. �

Hecht and director Victor Fleming all locked in Selznick’s office for five days, churning out the finished screenplay. Hutchinson’s farce has the zany edge of a 1930s screwball comedy. The stunning set of the St. Michael’s Playhouse production perfectly captured the era’s visual language. And Kenneth Kimmins’ skillful direction reinforced the delicious sense of traveling back in time, as did most of the actors’ performances. Irish-born Hutchinson is an accomplished playwright who also has spent two decades writing for television and film in Hollywood. His own work as a script doctor drew him to the story of Hecht’s emergency GWTW fix. “I’ve been all around the world in closed hotel rooms, from Libya to Morocco to Mexico, hammering out new scripts with ulcer-ridden, catatonic producers,� Hutchinson recalled in a 2007 interview. “The pressure is immense, there is craziness all around.� Hutchinson distills the madness in Moonlight and Magnolias while also decanting great affection for Old Hollywood. The story and characters hew closely to the real events of February 1939. But the playwright’s poetic license also turns Selznick, Hecht and Fleming

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED JULY 19! www.vermontbrewers.com into archetypes of a bygone era: men of action and ideas driven by their passion for making celluloid magic. The entire play takes place in the producer’s office — the crucible for creating cinematic immortality, from Selznick’s point of view. “It’s only in the movies where the dead can walk,� he reflects. “You know any other way to live forever?� As the play opens, Selznick is feverishly pitching the GWTW rewrite to Hecht, who seems to be the only person in America who hasn’t read the book. Fleming soon arrives; Selznick has pulled him from directing The Wizard of Oz to replace George Cukor at the helm of GWTW. Jaded Hecht insists, “No Civil War movie ever made a dime,� and the writer struggles to follow Selznick’s description of the convoluted plot. To help, Fleming and Selznick act out the novel, scene by scene, with Hecht fashioning a script at the typewriter as they do. Hilarity ensues. “The digestive juices get mixed up with the creative juices,� Selznick says. And so the mogul puts the trio on a diet of what he proclaims to be brain food — peanuts and bananas — brought in by his secretary. The pudgy Jewish executive and the macho WASP director become comical case studies in Bad Acting 101, playing the sashaying Scarlett, swooning Melanie and simpering
remarkable physical resemblance to the movie mogul. Just as the real Selznick threw himself into his work, Keiser embraced the role with zest, embodying his character’s driven spirit and zeal for filmmaking. He marched with the short, efficient steps of a field marshal, hands frequently clasped behind his back. His eyes widened behind wire-rimmed glasses, radiating Selznick’s determination to defeat Hecht’s cynicism and Fleming’s devil-may-care attitude through sheer force of will. John Patrick Hayden showed a delightful gift for deadpan comedy as director Victor Fleming. He was off and running from his character’s charmingly profane opening lines: “I hate to kiss and run . . . but . . . I have 116 munchkins deaddrunk in the corridors or fornicating in the urinals of the Culver Hotel.â€? Hayden painted the arrogant, touchy director with kinetic vigor, slumping broodingly at times and then springing to life. The intense pressure gradually dents Fleming’s confident façade, however. By the fifth day, nonchalance and swagger vacillate with tears and fearful hallucinations. Abby Lee portrayed Selznick’s beleaguered secretary, Miss Poppenghul, with the pert efficiency expected of a Girl Friday, always anticipating what the boss wants and providing what he needs. Her

Noo Yawk accent and rapid repartee with Keiser greatly added to the show’s retro vibe. In fact, the performances of Keiser, Hayden and Lee all glowed with the larger-than-life energy of 1930s screen actors. They played the fast-paced farce without hamminess, and with unself-conscious glee. As Ben Hecht, however, Richard Warner broke the spell. He seemed like a visitor from the present. His lines were mostly there — he stumbled over the lightning-quick dialogue a bit more than the others. But Warner’s characterization seemed anachronistic; he didn’t quite fall in with the screwball rhythms of speech or physical action. There was never a sense that his version of the screenwriter could have stepped out of a flickering celluloid frame. Throughout the story, Selznick reminds Fleming that every detail matters for GWTW, even the shape of the ice for drinks. Ice cubes didn’t exist in 1860, so ice must be crushed, not cubed, in the movie. “One mistake and the whole illusion’s lost, it’s just a bunch of actors standing in front of wood and canvas,â€? Selznick warns. Hecht’s performance didn’t ruin the play, but it compromised the fantasy of being transported to another era. And this is the magic of Hutchinson’s play, Mitchell’s book, and the brilliant film finally made from it: the power of fiction to sweep you into another place and time so convincingly that you feel you were there. And so you care when those worlds are gone with the wind. ďż˝

Hutchinson’s farce has the zany edge of a 1930s screwball comedy. Prissy as Hecht pecks away at the Underwood. Hecht is aghast at some of the story’s themes, but Selznick insists on staying true to Mitchell’s tale. As fatigue drives them to the edge of physical collapse, the trio takes turns dismissing one another’s craft, motives and reputation. But in the end, they get the job done. Selznick’s vision is the driving force. He laments that his industry’s golden age may be over. “Before we turn the lights off, I want to make one great movie, to show just how good it could have been.� Fleming and Hecht predict a “turkey.� But of course the audience knows what a triumph the finished film will become. At St. Mike’s, James F. Wolk’s elegant, curvilinear design for Selznick’s spacious office was a rich visual confection of late1930s, over-the-top Hollywood style. Vivid violets and luscious lilacs dominated the saturated hues, accented by burgundy and brick tones. Art Deco elements abounded: glass block set into stucco walls; and curvy, period detail on sconces, leather club chairs, a long banquette-style sofa and other furniture. The wide layout gave the actors plenty of room to roam, although John Paul Devlin’s generally strong lighting occasionally paled at the set’s far edges. Stacey Horne’s props added artfully to the atmosphere — especially the liberally strewn peanut shells and amazingly realistic painted-pleather banana peels. Marty Keiser completely owned the part of David O. Selznick, even bearing a

ARTWORK
“The Terrible Angel of Freedom” by Rafael Cauduro

Marc Awodey
engeful angels, decadently grand architecture, masks and skulls are well ensconced in the iconography of Mexican painter Rafael Cauduro. In what is clearly a coup for Stowe’s Helen Day Art Center, the exhibition “Sin Fronteras (No Borders)” has brought work by a major international artist to northern Vermont. Cauduro’s unique vision encompasses both universal themes and Mexican cultural issues in the tradition of the great “Mexican Renaissance” muralists Jose Clemente Orozco, Diego Rivera and David Alfaro Siqueiros. Cauduro is also a muralist who has produced works in the London and Paris subways, as well as in the U.S. and Mexico. The large-scale acrylic paintings at the HDAC have the presence of murals and integrate 3-D assemblage elements and intense textures. Cauduro has mastered the look and feel of decay. In Mesoamerican cultures, tzompantli were racks of pierced skulls thought to have been taken from war captives. As in tzompantli, the skulls in Cauduro’s images are never from a single beheading. “Tzompantli With Angel and Girls,” a multilayered 78-by-48-inch mixedmedia acrylic, combines youth and death into a striking allegory for the transience of life. While Cauduro’s figuration is often exquisite, there’s nothing beautiful about the story it conveys. Instead, transience appears to be a cruel trick orchestrated by the deceptively lovely young angel at the top of the composition. Her face has a strangely iron-willed look, and her gray wings sport dense, disheveled feathers. The angel’s hand seems to be both protecting and clutching a partly decomposed child, surrounded by the decaying skulls of a tzompantli wall. Given the plural “girls” in the title, perhaps the
surrounding skulls are not those of warriors. Orozco, perhaps the most eloquent of the Mexican Renaissance muralists, wrote in 1923, “A painting should not be a commentary but the fact itself; not a reflection but light itself; not an interpretation but the thing to be interpreted.” Cauduro’s 70-by-48-inch
Christ are juxtaposed in the 34-by-67-inch “Cristo 23.” The sports car runs along the top three-quarters of the long horizontal piece, while the emaciated male figure, a white cloth draped around his waist, reposes inside a narrow catacomb vault. The automobile is cracked and broken down. The empty, neutral back-
While Cauduro’s figuration is often exquisite, there’s nothing beautiful about the story it conveys. “Washbasin with Tzompantli” is just that concrete. The trompe l’oeil white bathroom sink is tucked into a classical niche, overlooked by four skulls reflected in a mirror. Tiles and grout that seem real make up the somewhat squalid bathroom interior. “The Terrible Angel of Freedom” is a 48-by-60-inch painting based on Eugene Delacroix’s 1830 “Liberty Leading the People.” The epic Delacroix image of a bare-breasted Liberty leading revolutionaries through barricades is here translucently superimposed on a decrepit Spanish colonial building. Its porch is supported by two pillars that bear small posters reading “PRE” and “PAN” — the acronyms of Mexico’s two entrenched political parties. Cauduro replaced Delacroix’s French tricolor with the red, white and green flag of Mexico. A red BMW convertible and a beardless, balding
ground is also crumbling. A picture of Cauduro on his website suggests that the Christ could be a self-portrait (he and his wife were, in fact, in a serious automobile accident), but either way, the figure conveys a sly humor. Three of the left hand’s fingers are curled, the middle finger slightly extended in a subtly expressive, profane gesture. In an interview with Manelick de la Parra, the filmmaker and Stowe resident who made the exhibition possible, Cauduro said, “My fascination for ruins, for deterioration, is simply to recognize the complex evidence left by the passage of time. In ruins you can find hidden facts, unexpected richness, stories never told. In a word: You find narrative in the decline.” Cauduro’s mysterious narratives may trace that decline, but his star is on the rise. m - marc awodey

handmade tales
BY AMY LILLY
at the same time, the national crafts revival of the ’70s put him on the cusp of a trend. When the Artist Blacksmith’s Association of North America met for the first time in 1973, the few surviving professional blacksmiths passed on their knowledge to eager twentysomethings. Bronstein pulls the book he used to teach himself the trade off a dusty shelf in his shop, a converted barn with a dirt floor he created by jackhammering through 2 feet of concrete. He says Edge of the Anvil, published in 1978, was the first tome on blacksmithing to appear in 30 years.
STEVE BRONSTEIN BLACKSMITH
Iron Man
B See a slideshow of Steve Bronstein’s work online at seven daysvt.com.
lacksmith Steve Bronstein loves to talk shop while tossing hot iron around. The manic energy behind Blackthorne Forge in Marshfield, he narrates highlights from the history of his trade at a shout as he pivots from roaring forge to anvil to pneumatic power hammer. The 51-year-old works barehanded, nominally shielded from flying sparks by a leather waist apron torn down the middle and, when he thinks of it, goggles. Traditional blacksmithing had nearly disappeared when Bronstein took it up in 1979, he says; the last generation to forge iron for a living was born around 1900. But
Whirling back to the forge, Bronstein jabs some rusty tongs into the horizontally shooting flames and extracts an orangehot vessel with a two-pronged, petal-like opening. “I think I’m making a vase,” he comments, sounding open to other possibilities. When he transfers the piece to an anvil, various long-handled tools that had been balanced there clatter to the ground. Bronstein pays no attention: He has about 20 seconds to pound the metal into a different shape before it begins to cool. “You know the saying, ‘Strike when the iron’s hot’?” he yells. “Well,” — bang, bang — “when you pull it out of the fire, [it’s] not a time to be contemplative.” A few more bangs and he has reversed the prongs’ curves. Bronstein’s story comes out in pieces as he moves in hyperdrive around the shop. The Long Islander arrived in Vermont in 1978 after college to work in a physiology lab at the University of Vermont. Needing a chisel for his hobby of woodturning on a lathe, he decided to make one, and
PROFILES OF CRAFTY VERMONTERS
signed up for a one-day workshop on blacksmithing at UVM’s Church Street Center, now the Firehouse Gallery. He produced only a poker that day, but he was hooked. When the Shelburne Museum advertised for a seasonal blacksmith to do demonstrations, he brought his poker to the interview as a sample of his work. “I told them I had a lot more at home,” he says with a grin. The ruse worked: He got the job. Museum-goers prompted Bronstein to learn, he says. “They would ask me, ‘How do you make that?’ and I would have to go and look it up.” Later, in his Burlington studio, old-timers would see the smoke from his then-coal-fired forge and offer him advice. Bronstein still uses an 1890 hammer, its network of gears now powered by electricity instead of a water wheel, and two anvils that date from the 1700s. But he deplores traditionalism for its own sake. While some purists seek out wrought iron, now nearly obsolete, Bronstein buys plumbing pipe from Capitol Steel in Montpelier. He constantly creates new forms, too. But, with a crew of four, Bronstein reproduces only visually striking, marketable products, most of which can be duplicated on jigs. Among the forge’s offerings — which range in style from scrolly to streamlined modern — are 11 different models of menorahs, wall and desk clocks, lamps with cutout metal shades and garden ornaments in the shape of giant insects. Alene Wheeler, Bronstein’s 27-year-old office
manager and welder, points out the month’s orders: There are 36 for menorahs alone from galleries around the country. “Last month I shipped out 45 orders in 50pound boxes each,” she says. Together Bronstein and Wheeler carry the cooled, unfinished vase into the showroom, where they can discuss its future without shouting. Should it stand on its own, or be placed concentrically within another, similar shape? “We have a ton of orders to fill,” Bronstein says with an unapologetic grin, “but I’m playing now.” Steve Bronstein’s work can be found at his studio at 3821 Route 2 in Marshfield, in select Vermont galleries, and online at www. blackthorneforge.com.

theborowitzreport McCain Proposes Tax Holiday for Beer Heiresses Says Brewery Scions Could Lead Economic Revival
P
resumptive Republican presidential nominee John McCain unveiled details of his economic policy today, telling an audience in Ohio that if elected, he would support a real-estate tax holiday for beer heiresses. Sen. McCain said that his tax-holiday plan could lead to a revival for the U.S. economy, arguing, “The key to this country’s economic well-being has been and will always be those Americans with vast inherited brewery wealth.” The Arizona senator took great pains to indicate that the tax holiday would not be available to all brewery heiresses, “just those with a net worth of over 100 million dollars.” Sen. McCain’s real-estate taxholiday proposal came on the heels of the news that his wife, presumptive First Lady nominee Cindy McCain, had failed to pay real-estate taxes on her La Jolla, Calif., home for four years. But Sen. McCain was quick to dismiss speculation that his realestate tax holiday proposal was intended to help his wife, adding, “Anyone who is serious about fixing the U.S. economy would start with the engine of that economy, which as everyone knows is brewery heiresses.”
Standing at Sen. McCain’s side during his appearance, Mrs. McCain endorsed the real-estate tax holiday and offered an explanation for her failure to pay four years’ worth of realestate taxes.
Anyone who is serious about fixing the U.S. economy would start with the engine of that economy, which as everyone knows is brewery heiresses. Senator Mccain
“I guess it slipped my mind,” she said. “Quite frankly, I’ve been busy coming up with totally original recipes for my website.”

july 10-16
ARIES (March 21-April 19): “The only way
to get a difficult feeling to go away is simply to love yourself for it,” says author Christiane Northrup. “If you think you’re stupid, then love yourself for feeling that way. It’s a paradox, but it works. To heal, you must . . . shine the light of compassion on any areas within you that you feel are unacceptable.” While I personally believe this is a crafty strategy, I suggest adding a twist in order to double its effectiveness: As you’re loving yourself for your difficult feeling, literally laugh out loud at how crazily worried and wound up you are about it.
TAURUS
(April 20-May 20): According to Harper’s Index, 97 percent of us believe that following our own conscience is a sign of a strong character. On the other hand, 92 percent of us think that obeying authorities shows strong character. What that apparently means is that most of us feel we can and should heed the dictates of our own conscience and please the people who control things. In the coming weeks, I think that might be possible for you to do once or twice. But most the time, I suspect you’ll have to decide between being either an impeccable rebel or a loyal devotee.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Some people
skip to the end of a book and read the last few pages while they’re still in its early stages. They want to know what will ultimately happen without going through the steps that lead up to it. While it’s harmless to prematurely peek at how a book’s story resolves, trying a similar approach could cause problems if you do it with your life in the coming weeks. Distortions might arise from trying to “time-travel” to a future date and foresee the outcome of a process you’re in the middle of. It could sap your ability to carry out the work you’ll need to do. Or it may fill you with false expectations that cause you to misjudge your allies. Be patient.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): Mazel tov is
a Hebrew phrase meaning “good luck,” but its literal translation is “may the stars be good to
jobs. cars. pets. gear. music. houses. tickets. skis. bikes. stuff.
you.” It suggests that stellar energies influence our fate. In his book Jewish Magic and Superstition, Joshua Trachtenberg riffs on Judaism’s ancient debate about the subject: “The stars determine human actions, but they too are creatures of G-d, established by Him to perform this special function, and therefore the influence they exert is subject to His Will. Repentance, prayer, piety, charity, good deeds . . . are the instruments by means of which man can induce G-d to alter His decrees and consequently to modify the fate that is written in the stars for him.” I offer this, Cancerian, as evidence that the title of my column, “Free Will Astrology,” is not an oxymoron. You have more power to shape your destiny than you imagine — and now is a perfect time to prove it.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): This oracle was origi-
nally commissioned by a spiritual wilderness school to train its students in high-stress meditation. It has been tested by disciplined explorers who’ve learned to be fluid and resourceful in the midst of natural chaos. Now it’s being made available to you, Leo — just in time for the last stretch of your dash (or crawl) across the wasteland. By contemplating the code phrase that appears at the end of this message, you will discover the key for turning poisons into medicine, taking advantage of your weaknesses, and knowing your direction without a compass. Here it is: Love the beauty and intelligence that are hidden in your darkness.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): In Terry
LIBRA
(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): In July 1969, astronaut Buzz Aldrin was the second human to walk on the moon. That was the good news. The bad news was that as he carried out his heroic feat, he wet his pants. He testifies to the event in the documentary film In the Shadow of the Moon. I suspect you may soon have a comparable experience, Libra: experiencing a little boo-boo or no-no while you’re riding high. Though it may make you feel vulnerable at the time, it’s trivial in the big scheme of things and isn’t likely to stick with you. How many people even know that Aldrin accidentally peed at his moment of glory?
SCORPIO
(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): About nine million people see this column regularly. On average, nine of them experience a one-in-a-million coincidence each week. In the next seven days, however, I believe as many as 90,000 of my readers will have that kind of mind-blowing synchronicity, and most of them will be Scorpios. That’s because your tribe is in a phase when happy accidents and miraculous flukes are practically unavoidable. Even if you don’t brush up against a one-in-a-million stroke of lucky fate, I bet you’ll be touched by a one-in-a-thousand event.
SAGITTARIUS
Pratchett’s book Wyrd Sisters, there’s a passage in which he talks about how the sun conspires with the forest to pump millions of gallons of sap hundreds of feet from the ground up into the sky. And it all happens “in one great systolic thump too big and loud to be heard.” That’s the kind of activity I recommend for you in the coming weeks, Virgo. Collaborate with the source of all life — the physical sun, if that’s your preference, or God or Goddess, if that works better for you—to pull off a huge movement of lifeblood that brings sustenance from below to above.
(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “Dear Flow Meister: I’ve been surfing the tidal waves of emotion for many days, and am proud to say I haven’t wiped out once (though there were two near-misses). But to tell you the truth, I don’t know how much longer I can perform this balancing act. How much stamina can one person have? Do you psychically see signs that I’ll reach shore anytime soon? -Wobbly Surfer.” Dear Wobbly: I predict an end to your trials by Wednesday, July 23 — or earlier if you, too, become a flow meister.
or paradoxical essence, which was developed by Alex Shakar in his novel The Savage Girl. I suspect that you’ll specialize in paradessence in the coming days, Capricorn. Will that make you feel tormented by crazy-making contradictions or will it excite you with an expanding sense of complex possibilities? It will be largely up to your intentions. Which would you prefer?
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): It’s Wallow
in Your Envy and Jealousy Week. During this holiday, you may in good conscience explore your covetous resentments and plumb the depths of your longing for what others have attained. Here’s the payoff: Giving yourself this perverse pleasure should keep you relatively free from envy and jealousy for the next three months. To get yourself in the mood, read this excerpt from Dave Morrison’s poem “Jealous”: “I am jealous of those who do stupid things and feel no shame. I am jealous of the dead for their reduced workload, jealous of newborn babies for their clean records. I’m jealous of those older than me for what they know, and those younger than me for what they don’t. I am jealous of dogs who don’t think about living, or dying, they just do.”
PISCES
(Feb. 19-March 20): The world’s oldest penises are 400 million years old. Discovered in Scotland in 2001, they’re part of the fossilized remains of an arachnid species known as daddy longlegs. In reporting their find, the paleontologists marveled that the reproductive organ was two-thirds the size of the entire creature. Let’s make this ancient genital a power symbol for you, Pisces. (If you prefer, you can focus on the 400-million-year-old daddy longlegs’ vaginas that were also found.) I hope it inspires you to think back to the time when your sexual desires first began to stir. The future of your intimate relationships will benefit from you reconnecting to the primal purity of your original erotic urges.
CAPRICORN
(Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “Ice cream is both innocent and erotic,” writes Klintron on Technoccult.com. “Coffee promises to be both stimulating and relaxing.” These examples illustrate the idea of “paradessence,”

Hancock HHH
H WILL POWER Smith plays a superhero who battles big-time personal problems in the latest from Peter Berg.
ancock is something of a one-trick pony. It attempts additional tricks in its woefully miscalculated second half, but they all misfire. Which leaves us with the one. Our hero, you see, is a superman. But he is also a deeply flawed and troubled man. At the start of the movie, we find him in an alley, homeless, disheveled and hung over. A child attempts to wake him and direct his attention to a life-or-death situation unfolding that very minute on a Los Angeles freeway. The man of steel is such a mess that the kid walks away shaking his head in disgust. We quickly come to see why the citizens of this metropolis have mixed feelings about their guardian. As played by Will Smith, he’s the kind of superhero who rockets into the sky and takes out the bad guys. He’s also the kind who’s usually had so much to drink beforehand that he nicks chunks out of tall buildings, knocks down traffic signs, damages landmarks and tears up streets with his unsteady landings. Smith’s character and the populace he protects have a love-hate relationship. The people need him. They just don’t need the millions of dollars’ worth of collateral damage his buzzed crime-stopping tends to produce. For his part, Hancock appears to be troubled by two things: the lack of gratitude for his good works and the fact that he’s the only one of his kind on Earth. Popular culture is currently overdosing on superheroes, so it was only a matter of time before a cheeky writing team (Vince Gilligan and Vy Vincent Ngo) decided the moment was ripe for turning conventions on their heads and gave us a super anti-hero. Consider for a second the ever-changing line-up of actors playing
Superman, Batman and Spider-Man. (Rumor has it Tobey Maguire has opted out of Spidey 4.) Then we have the multiple Hulks, the X-Men, Daredevil, Elektra, the Silver Surfer and Iron Man movies, even Wanted — and on TV, of course, “Heroes” features a new supergeneration, the first not descended from a comic book. Is it any surprise we’ve reached the tipping point where these super-folk are concerned? No. The only surprise is that director Peter (The Kingdom) Berg and company don’t wring more from the picture’s groundbreaking premise. The story begins promisingly enough. A drunken Smith wreaks comical crime-fighting havoc, which is convincingly computergenerated. He also saves the life of a likable PR guy, played by the always-likable Jason Bateman. Ray is determined to repay his debt by refurbishing the derelict crusader’s image. To that end, Hancock must repay his debt to society by serving a jail term for destruction of public property and receiving counseling for his problems with anger and alcohol. Ray’s instincts tell him

the crime rate will rise in the interim, and the people of L.A. will come to realize how much they really need Hancock. The first half of the film is periodically amusing, particularly the scenes where Bateman’s marketing whiz offers Smith tips on increasing his lovability quotient: Tell police they’re doing a good job; ask politely for permission before pulling someone from a perilous situation; land more carefully. People are happier to see you when you don’t destroy their streets, he observes. When the time arrives for Smith to put these lessons in practice — and to don the form-fitting outfit Bateman’s had made for him — the movie hits its humor high point. And then, without warning, Hancock morphs into a completely different movie, one that doesn’t make sense and doesn’t make us laugh. The script switches gears with possibly the dumbest plot twist in motion-picture history, and the change in tone saps the proceedings of fun as swiftly as kryptonite does Superman of strength. Ray’s wife Mary (Charlize Theron), previously an incidental player, figures prominently in the movie’s second half — and let us just say this is not the Oscar winner’s finest hour on the silver screen. I don’t believe we’ve seen work from her on a comparable artistic level since the days of Mighty Joe Young. Movie-critic law forbids me saying more about the big surprise, except that it essentially divides Hancock into two distinct films. The first is a semi-clever romp that benefits from fine effects and the chemistry between Smith and Bateman. The second is an overblown bit of button-pushing in which the filmmakers grope for emotional, spiritual and metaphysical pay-offs they haven’t remotely earned. It’s a train wreck. Too bad somebody from Sony Pictures didn’t come soaring to the rescue. RICK KISONAK

BRAINDEAD OR ALIVE Jolie helps McAvoy discover his inner killer — with some help from a big loom — in a very silly action movie.
anted is like a bratty, emotionally stunted, proudly foul-mouthed middle-schooler who picks up a violin and turns into Midori. Its narrative is Fight Club retold by someone who failed to register any of that movie’s nuances. But its action sequences, courtesy of director Timur Bekmambetov, are the best of the summer so far. Bekmambetov tosses aside the laws of physics to create mayhem that’s clever and perversely beautiful. Whether that’s worth sitting through a tale told by a sniveling sociopath — and apparently aimed at his peers — is your call. In Fight Club, Edward Norton played a whitecollar drone who knew he was complicit in his own dissatisfaction: He was addicted to his paychecks and the IKEA baubles they bought. Not so with Wesley Gibson (James McAvoy), who, like Norton’s character, narrates his story in voiceover. This cubicle slave has spent his life being a whipping boy, and his abusers are cartoonish monsters: a fat female boss whose bitching is as loud as the patterns on her clothes; a slutty girlfriend who’s bedding his best friend; and a friend who flaunts it by waving the condoms in his face. He’s even deprived the usual benefits of a soulless job, as he’s in debt and lives in a scummy apartment with the El train passing feet from his window. The script suggests that Wesley’s only complicity in this situation lies in being too much of a “pussy” to smack his oppressors back down where they belong. Luckily for him, he hooks up with a group of super-
powered assassins who can abuse him on a whole new level. One instant Wesley’s at the corner store; the next, he’s speeding through the streets with a skeletal Angelina Jolie perched on his hood so she can blow away bad guys. After that little adrenaline binge, Fox — yes, that’s Jolie’s character — takes Wesley to a vast Victoriangothic textile factory for a spate of exposition. From a dignified gentleman named Sloan (Morgan Freeman), our hero learns that his father, who deserted him at birth, belonged to a secret Fraternity of weavers with roots in the Middle Ages and a mission to kill evil-doers. Now Dad has been struck down by a rogue Fraternity member, leaving Wes to bear his legacy. Much nastiness, coolness and stupidity follow. The nastiness is in the Fraternity’s training of Wesley, which takes the film to levels of gory masochism seldom seen outside the horror genre. The coolness kicks in when the office worker discovers that his “panic attacks” are actually symptoms of a congenital ability to shift into a sensory mode where the world appears to be moving in slo-mo, making it easy to
zoom in on — and shoot at — minute details. As it happens, that’s also the mode in which Bekmambetov likes to present his action sequences. “Bullet time” — a nifty computer trick in which people or objects appear to move at molasses speed while the camera keeps zipping around — goes back to The Matrix. But the Kazakh director, who also made the hyper-kinetic Russian vampire films Night Watch and Day Watch, takes Wesley’s gift as a pretext to go to town with the effect. His techniques mix the raw excitement of watching big things go smash with a dreamy, godlike sense of omniscience: No matter how fast the action moves, we stand at the eye of the storm, always seeing the parts that matter. It’s an illusion, of course — a narcissistic fantasy, like most of the movie. Its stupid element comes to the fore when Wesley learns more about the Fraternity. (Something called the “Cloth of Fate” is involved.) Awkward twists toward the end don’t improve matters, as the scriptwriters try to backtrack from the gleeful amorality of their source material. In Mark Millar’s 2004 Wanted comics, the Fraternity is a league of victorious, unrepentant super-villains, and the story ends with Wesley turning to the readers and calling them his bitches — only in rather cruder terms. The film emasculates that final insult, but its message is the same: If you want to live inside this world for a couple of hours, embrace the fantasy and check your self-respect at the door.

< food> State of the (Fast Food) Nation Post-Vermont, Eric Schlosser dishes on trends in American eating FILE PHOTO: ANDY DUBACK
BY SUZANNE PODHAIZER
ERIC SCHLOSSER
E
ric Schlosser is the man who told Americans exactly what lies between their hamburger buns. His best-selling exposé of the cheap-eats industry, Fast Food Nation, laid bare the sordid history and grotesque inner workings of factory farms, slaughterhouses and restaurants such as McDonald’s and Burger King. Since he published Fast Food Nation: The Dark Side of the All-American Meal, in 2001, Schlosser has advocated for sustainable food raised and processed without human-rights abuses; he also promotes healthier options and nutritional education in schools. A couple of weeks ago, Senator Bernie Sanders invited Schlosser to Burlington to participate in a “town meeting” discussion about sustainable agriculture. Schlosser blew the crowd away with his impassioned views on the nation’s tangled food chain. Panelists, including State Rep and organic farmer David Zuckerman and Allen Matthews, farm enterprise coordinator at the UVM Center for Sustainable Agriculture, also weighed in. Seven Days caught up with Schlosser for clarification on how Schlosser and Sanders got connected. The author-activist also divulged two of his favorite local restaurants — Al’s French Frys and the now-defunct Oasis Diner — and told us which Vermont product he believes should be shipped around the country, gas prices be damned. Schlosser, formerly of Charlotte, admits he’s “addicted” to maple syrup.
SEVEN DAYS: How did you end up working with Senator Sanders on bettering wages for exploited Florida tomato workers? ERIC SCHLOSSER: It was really an incredible experience for me. I wrote an op-ed for The New York Times on the issue, and I was con-
tacted by Senator Sanders’ office . . . He wanted to see [the conditions] for himself. I said I’d meet him down there and show him around. I was impressed that he did go down there to see for himself and also that he showed up without any aides or press people, and he did the work: He stayed at the home of one of the local coalition members. He got up at the crack of dawn to see how the workers were chosen. He was powerfully affected by what he saw and was determined to do something about this. And he carried through on his promise. Some of the poorest workers in the U.S. are going to get a pay raise from this.
SD: During the town meeting, you brought up the idea of interconnectedness among consumers, food manufacturers and growers, and the employees of those companies. But it seems to me that many Americans take the position: “What I put in my body is none of your business.” Do you think it’s unethical to eat without social consciousness? ES: You know, I’m not pure, and I don’t expect anyone else to be pure, either. But I think it’s important to have a social consciousness, to be aware. It’s good to think about the larger implications of all your behavior. For the past few decades, selfishness has been widely cel-
ebrated in the mainstream culture. We could all use a little more compassion. SD: Given that Vermont has a challenging climate, is it wise to try growing everything locally? Would it be better to learn how to grow crops like persimmons and rice here by modifying the land and using season extension techniques and technology, or should we keep on purchasing rice grown in another part of the country? Or should we give up eating rice because it doesn’t grow here? >> 04B

ES: Again, it’s a question of how pure you aim to be. The perfect shouldn’t become the enemy of the good. If people in Vermont want to drink coffee, they’re going to have to import it. The same is true for lovers of maple syrup in California (like myself). Some commodities are always going to be shipped long distances. But the goal of local selfsufficiency is well worth pursuing, even if it’s never fully achieved. SD: Since you left, I heard a rumor that Burlington’s Intervale may be shut down, because of conflicts between its designation as a historic site and a flood plain and its use as farmland. Given that you and other folks have been lauding Burlington as being “way ahead of its time� when it comes to sustainable food

SD: If you were asked to explain your ethical food purchasing hierarchy, what would it look like? ES: People, animals, land, in that order. There’s no reason we can’t have an agricultural system that treats all three with respect. SD: One of the questioners at the town meeting opined that it doesn’t take a lot of education to choose healthy foods, and that most people would do it if it was affordable. I’m not sure that’s true, in part because Americans’ tastebuds have been suckered by food manufacturers into preferring fake flavors, like “cheeze,� to wholesome ones. Plus, certain inexpensive, healthy foods, such as rice and beans, are viewed as boring. What do you think? ES: There’s a direct correlation
ducers will do just fine. Our small meat-packing plants have much lower levels of contamination than the really big ones. Big or small, however, nobody should be allowed to sell tainted food. SD: I read an interview from 2002 in which you posited that most Americans didn’t have a clue about where their food was coming from, or about the abuses inherent in the system. Do you think the American public is better informed in 2008? ES: I think some of the public is much better informed . . . A lot of people are changing what they eat and where they buy it, but in my opinion it’s too confined to the educated, the middle class and the upper class. The danger is we’re splitting even further into a society where there’s one class who are eating really well and getting fit, and
We need agricultural policies at the national level that end the subsidies for unhealthy food and that make good food much less expensive.

production, what are your thoughts on this news? ES: Shutting down the Intervale would be a huge mistake. There has to be a way to balance the area’s archaeological importance with its importance as a model of enlightened urban agriculture. SD: Even though conventional food costs are rising, and Vermonters have an increasing number of places to purchase organic, local foods, there’s still a price gap between the two. What are the next steps toward making healthy, ethical foods available to everybody? ES: We need agricultural policies at the national level that end the subsidies for unhealthy food and that make good food much less expensive. Low-income families shouldn’t have to worry about whether they can afford to eat well. We have an overabundance of food in this country — and a system that encourages mass consumption of the wrong foods. SD: You mentioned that the “organic� label doesn’t provide any information about how workers are treated. What’s the solution? A new label along the lines of “Fair Trade,� or a greater reliance on local foods so that a consumer can actually check out a farmer’s practices for herself? Other ideas? ES: The more information that people get about their food, the better. Labeling can provide it, as can a greater emphasis on local foods. I am a big supporter of labels like “Fair Trade� that go far beyond organic.
between how much education you have and how likely you are to become obese. Many billions of dollars are spent each year to persuade people to buy what’s cheap and easy and tastes good in the moment. If an equivalent amount were spent every year educating people about our food system and its consequences, the Chicken McNugget would become an endangered species. SD: Many folks around here hold that Vermonters should “buy local,� yet don’t want people from out of state to stop buying Vermont products. Hypocritical? ES: It depends what you’re exporting. Vermont strawberries to Japan? That would be a bad idea. Vermont maple syrup to the rest of the United States? Absolutely essential. SD: There’s some tension between the folks who think smaller farms and food operations should be less strictly regulated to give them a greater chance of financial success and those who think all food sources should be heavily regulated in an attempt to eradicate food-borne illnesses. What do you think? ES: It depends what you mean by regulation. Most of the federal food safety rules are process-oriented. They are mainly concerned with how you do things. They favor large-scale, industrial operations. And for the most part, they ignore the actual threat posed by what’s for sale. I think our food-safety policies should be based on routine testing for dangerous pathogens. Judged by that sort of measure, the small pro-
another group who can’t afford to eat that way and don’t have access to health care. If you’re upper middle class and you’re getting obese, your doctor tells you that you have to make a change; you can go to the gym . . . There needs to be much more in the mass media about this, and there needs to be much more at the federal level and at the state level. SD: So is it too late for some people? What can we improve? ES: It’s never too late for anyone. Statistically, though, if you’re obese by the age of 13, the odds are overwhelming you’ll be obese as an adult. If you’re already obese, it’s harder to make the change. But that doesn’t mean any one individual can’t change. That’s why so much of my own activism has focused on children and trying to prevent kids from becoming obese, both by working with schools and by putting limits on what these companies can market to kids. SD: You’ve said that you’re not a gourmet guy, and that you enjoy basic American food. But on the flip side, you know more about the ills of the industrial food complex than most. So I’m curious: What does a typical meal look like in your household? ES: You know, it really varies. Whenever possible, we buy local and organic. We don’t buy any meat from the industrial system, ever. A typical meal would not be a hamburger and French fries, but it also wouldn’t be quinoa and a vegetarian casserole. The best way to describe the diet would be Mediterranean. >

Booze News “NIGHTFIRES,” “NIPPLES” AND OTHERS
If you haven’t sampled much Vemont vino, this weekend might be a good time to start. The Lincoln Peak Vineyard in New Haven is celebrating the grand opening of its new tasting room with a Cajun band, wagon rides among the grapevines, artisan cheeses and, best of all, free tastings. According to co-owner and Middlebury grad Chris Granstrom, the LPV put its first grapes in the ground seven years ago and finished filling out the 12-acre vineyard in 2005. “This is the first year the vineyard will be in full production,” he explains. “We made our first wine in 2003 on a very small scale. My daughters stomped the grapes with their bare feet. Oddly, it was one of the nicest wines we ever made.” Each year since has seen a rise in production. “What sets us apart mostly is that we’re using only grapes we grew here at our vineyard. That’s our number-one claim to fame,” Granstrom boasts. Right now, those homegrown fruits are featured in four wines with dreamy names: the white “Black Sparrow” and “Cloud Mountain,” red “Cove Road,” and a rosé called “Starlight.” The vintners are also working on an ice wine called “Nightfires.” Imbibers who rely on familiar varietals such as Chardonnay and Pinot Noir will have to think outside the crate when sampling LPV’s offerings. Their fruit comes from “a new collection of grape varieties that have mostly been developed at the University of Minnesota,” Granstrom says. “They have good wine qualities and the ability to withstand northern winters. We got in early with these, and got our hands on cuttings of some of the best varieties.” For the moment, folks who want to get their hands on Sean Lawson’s ’s “nipples” may have to travel. Like all the brews from Vermont’s newest microbrewery, Lawson’s Finest Liquids in Warren, the syrup-flavored “Maple Nipple” is a bit difficult to find. Currently, Lawson’s creations are available at a few Mad River restaurants — including The Pitcher Inn and The Common Man in Warren, The Village Porch in Rochester and American Flatbread in Waitsfield — and on the shelf at the Warren Store. Interested Chittenden County swiggers can find ’em at the VIP tent at the Vermont Brewers Festival, July 18-19. Lawson, 38, works part-time as a naturalist at Mad River Glen. But he spends the rest of his time brewing small batches to sell under his new label, which he owns with his wife, Karen. “It was June of 2006 when I incorporated,” he recalls. “I got all of my licenses and my federal brewer’s notice last winter.” His first beer went on sale this March. The brewmeister has been making his own suds since he was an underage UVM student, when a friend helped him whip up a hoppy batch in Lawson’s pad. Eventually, Lawson decided to turn his hobby into a business, in part because of “the encouragement I got from people, both friends and strangers,” he says, adding that some folks say his beer is “the best they’ve ever had.” He’d like to expand and open a pub, but “not in the near future.” “Making beer is actually a lot like cooking,” Lawson suggests. “I tend not to follow a standard recipe. I approach it from the experimental or creative side, while still being informed by brewing traditions.” In addition to the oh-so-Vermont-y maple beer, LFL offers India pale ales, a Hefeweizen and a blond ale. He’s working on a lambic-like ale made with wild grapes. “Harvest or fruity nipple?” Haven’t been keeping up with the brews news? This week, Forbes placed Magic Hat on a list of the “World’s Top Brewery Tours,” calling the company’s “artifactory” “funky.” No kidding.
Since late 2005, Middlebury’s Otter Creek has been concocting a series of limited-edition beers in styles from around the globe. Currently available is the Japanese-style “Otter San,” brewed with rice, koji and sake yeast. Drink it while you can. Next up on the Otter Creek “world tour”: the Sphinx. It’s an Egyptian-inspired, multi-grain ale brewed with honey and chamomile. In April, the Long Trail Brewing Company got a lot crappier — and we’re not talking about their beers. The brewery now draws 25 percent of its power from converted cow manure via the Central Vermont Public Service Cow Power program. Other “green” initiatives at LTBC include treating its own wastewater, converting grease from the on-site pub into biodiesel to power its generators, and selling leftover beer mash to cattle farms as animal feed. Which then becomes cow manure. And so on.

From Shelburne Road, the porch at Chef Leu’s House appears to have exploded. A stack of broken boards and lengths of yellow tape warn customers away from the front door. But despite the mess, says Manager Tony Wang, the restaurant is open for business, with signs pointing to an alternate entry. Wang explains that the chaos resulted from an unfortunate meeting of porch and car: “An older man tried to park, and he stepped on the gas pedal instead of the brake.” Nobody was seriously injured, and the cost of repairs is being covered by the driver’s insurance. Work begins on Thursday and will probably be completed next week, says Wang. The staff at Stephen & Burns must be bummed — they can no longer step outside their door and grab lunch. On June 30, employees packed up the 13-year-old Klinger’s Kiosk on Church Street and closed it down for good. Why did they take away the fresh-baked breads, biscotti and coffee? “We felt that over the last two or three years, foot traffic on Church Street had been declining significantly,” co-owner Judy Klingebiel says. “And that there’s a lot more competition for the kinds of things that we sell at the kiosk.” Some of that competition comes from one of the bakery’s best wholesale accounts, City Market. In essence, the bakery was competing against itself. “We decided to focus our energy in different directions,” Klingebiel goes on. “We’ve been putting a lot into our website, and we have a themed-sugar-cookie business that we call ‘Cookies from Vermont,’ and this has been really taking off.” The Farrell Street location in South Burlington still serves up soups, sandwiches and croissants. The Church Street Marketplace, which owns the kiosk, is seeking a new tenant, says Executive Director Ron Redmond. The company has extended the application deadline until the end of July in an effort to review as many proposals as possible before making a decision. “The Marketplace is 100 percent funded by fees,” Redmond relates. “We want to have a good operator who can be successful and community minded, and at the same time, we need that revenue.” In other Church Street news, Redmond mentioned that he’s excited about getting more Church Street eateries on the rosters of the Vermont Fresh Network. “That’s kind of a goal for us over the next year,” he states. “I think that has so much value for today’s customer.” When it comes to the sources of their food, Redmond believes, “People want to know.” SUZANNE PODHAIZER

n the U.S., “Hold the anchovies!� is a familiar cry. But when the thin, salty fish turn up in Restaurant Phoebe’s fried artichokes with arugula and anchovy salad, drizzled with lemon-parsley dressing, diners often change their minds. Most people want them “on the side� or reject them altogether, Chef-Owner Aaron Millon dishes. “The staffers will tell them to try a bite with all of the components.� The result: big smiles. “It’s a classic Italian dish that has worked for hundreds of years,� Millon says. The salad “transforms an anchovy into a condiment.� Although he taught himself to cook as a youngster, Millon — who lived in Washington, D.C., for his “formative years� — got his professional start during college. While studying creative writing and history at the University of Miami, he made basic bar food and a few Cuban specialties at a local nightclub. “I took to it instantly,� he recalls. Later Florida gigs included one at the posh restaurant Mercury. “It really exposed me to the finest of fine cuisine,� says Millon. “There was caviar everywhere. We had prawns flown in from Ireland.� He takes a different approach to seafood sourcing at Restaurant Phoebe. “Sustainability is important to us here,� he says, noting Black River has been a reliable local purveyor; he also buys from Ecofish, an online,
CHEF AARON MILLON AGE: 35 RESTAURANT: Restaurant Phoebe LOCATION: Montpelier RESTAURANT AGE: Two years old in September CUISINE TYPE: Modern American, seasonal cuisine, drawing on the materials and philosophies of Italian and French cooking TRAINING: New England Culinary Institute SELECTED EXPERIENCE: Grill Cook at Mercury in South Beach, Florida, 1994-1995; Lead Line Cook at the Inn at Shelburne Farms under David Hugo, 1997; Head Line Cook at Pauline’s CafÊ in Shelburne, 1998; Owner, Daily Bread and Richmond Corner Store, 1999-2004/2005; Executive Chef at The Windjammer, 2005-2006
environmentally friendly seafood company. Most of the other ingredients at Phoebe come from a long list of local farms, from Cavendish Game Birds to the Vermont Cranberry Company. Millon owns the restaurant with his multitasking wife Debbie. She bartends and hosts, but also holds a Master’s in biomedical engineering and co-directs Williston’s Bellwether School. Named after Millon’s sister, Phoebe occupies the old Conoscenti site on Montpelier’s State Street. “The dĂŠcor is minimalistic,â€? Millon says of the long narrow room painted in muted colors. “It’s enough to be warm and friendly, but not so over the top or gimmicky that it distracts you from either your company or the food.â€? Not that anything could
compete with the food; Millon describes the paella he serves — a dish he perfected in Florida — as “visually stunning.� Anyone who can turn adults on to anchovies has our ear, so we decided to grill Aaron Millon. SEVEN DAYS: How did your family eat when you were growing up?
AARON MILLON: Food was definitely central to dayto-day life. We had dinner together pretty much every night up until I was in my mid-teens. It was in the European style, so we didn’t eat until 8 or 8:30 at night. The food was steeped in the Italian culinary tradition: lots of olive oil, salad at the end of the meal, a lot of pasta topped with quickly sautÊed ingredients.
SEVEN DAYS | july 09-16, 2008 | food 07B
email food@sevendaysvt.com
And every holiday was a big food deal. We didn’t always have turkey on Thanksgiving; we had goose, we had duck. My mom is a strong cook, but she also went out quite a bit for my dad’s job, and I was left to fend for myself. And I didn’t like the typical stuff parents would leave their kids with, like Domino’s pizza, so I would pull things out of the freezer and experiment. The first dish I mastered was tortellini en brodo [broth]. SD: Back then, were there any foods you just detested?
AM: I never really detested anything. I had a problem with Gorgonzola — really strong veiny Gorgonzola — and I still don’t eat it in chunks. In Italy, my sister would eat chunks and it grossed me out. I remember trying blood sausage when I was 7 or 8. There wasn’t much I didn’t eat. SD: Name three foods that make life worth living.
AM: Braised short ribs or even pot roast when it’s done well: Anything cooked for a long time in its own juices certainly makes life better in the winter. Fish — I get a pretty bad seafood jones once or twice a week; it makes you feel good to eat it. Handmade stuffed pastas or handmade noodles like tagliatelle or pappardelle; fresh fruit would be up there, too; and Hebrew National hot dogs. I could go on . . . SD: What’s the weirdest dish you’ve tried?
AM: I’ve eaten a lot of strange things. Probably the first time I had pickled ducks’ feet or a pile of really tiny pickled lambs’ tongues. I had them at the same cart in San Francisco’s Chinatown. I liked both of them. I like anything pickled, really. I do all the sweetbreads and kidneys. I love all that stuff. When I owned the Richmond Corner Market, there were a couple of Bosnian guys who would order sausage casings and pork butts from me. They brought me in a piece of headcheese they had made. It was pretty wild, but it was good. SD: When you have time to cook at home, what do you make?
AM: During the winter, a Misty Knoll lemon-roasted chicken. During the summer I’ll probably make a couple slabs of ribs. I don’t ever order those when I’m out, so that’s something I like to do at home. SD: What foods do you think of as pantry staples?
AM: Dried pasta of any kind, salt and pepper, bay leaves, thyme; some good jarred or canned whole plum tomatoes that either you did yourself or good high-quality ones you buy; good dried mushrooms; yeast and flour so you can make bread; and either homemade stock or broth. SD: Imagine you have an all-expenses-paid trip to any country you want to eat in. Where do you go?
AM: It would be a toss-up between playing it safe and having the best of a couple different regions in Italy, or going for the exotic, like Singapore, or a Japanese food “bender.” But I’d probably play it safe and do central Italy from the west coast to the east coast and down a little bit. SD: You can cook for anybody, alive or dead. Whom do you choose?
AM: I’d like to cook for Madeleine Kamman again. She wandered into The Daily Bread in Richmond once, when I was braising off rabbits. I cooked lunch for her once with some other chefs at her house in Barre, right before she moved down to Florida. And then she came in here two or three times. Having a dinner party for friends and family and Madeleine: That would be my idea of a good time. SD: Any disaster stories?
AM: I think when people do special orders from restaurants, whether they’re doing it because they’re actually interested in food or to show off, they don’t actually think about how [much] things cost. They say cost is no object. In one instance, I made a dish for somebody that involved three pheasants, truffles and a lobe of foie gras. The food cost alone was $200, and when I marked it up to the appropriate margin it was $600. But hey, that’s what they ordered. There was sticker shock, and they didn’t want to pay. Finally I said, “Pay me my cost and don’t ask me to do that again.” It’s money. It’s very awkward. SD: Is there a quirky piece of equipment you can’t live without?
AM: It’s probably not that quirky, but a good wooden spoon is always in my little tool kit. And I do like the good powerful hand blenders; those make life a lot easier. We make sauces with it; we definitely force some emulsifications that wouldn’t hold otherwise.

SD: Which two cookbooks should every home cook own?
AM: Madeleine Kamman’s The Making of a Cook and probably Jacques Pepin’s Complete Techniques, which is getting outdated but is still a great reference book. Every chef should have Becoming a Chef, by [Andrew] Dornenburg and [Karen] Page, and should also have their Culinary Artistry close by. It’s kind of about the process: Once you have basic tools and skills, how do you take it a step farther and learn about flavors and what they do when they’re combined? How do you develop that skill? SD: If you had your own culinary TV show, what would it be about?
AM: It would be a lot like the shows that are on: travel, street food, you know. The things that people get by on day after day on the way to work and on the way home from work. SD: If you weren’t a chef, what would your job be?

SD: What’s your favorite thing about cooking in Vermont right now?
AM: Definitely the enthusiasm for the great things that are produced in Vermont: meats, cheeses, produce, that whole vibe. It’s nice to be a part of it and kind of live by it. And, I would say, the reasonable hours. That’s a very logistical one, but it is one.

AM: Definitely Starry Night [Café], Hen of the Wood, Trattoria Delia and L’Amante. Those are the four that I eat at. SD: What is something that every restaurant patron should know, but doesn’t?
AM: That waiters really do live off their tips. It’s not like a bonus: That’s actually their wage. SD: Can you tell me a fact about you that might surprise people?
AM: Probably that I’m a pretty big animal lover. Because I’m a big fan of meat and offal, I think that sometimes surprises people. SD: Besides hot dogs, do you have a favorite guilty pleasure?
AM: I wouldn’t say fast food like McDonald’s, but definitely greasy spoons. That would probably be my secret. >

BY DAN BOLLES
HERE WE GO A-WALLOWING If I were to say to you, “music, booze, a swimmin’ hole and the possibility of explosions,� what would be the first thing to jump to your mind? A night out with Grace Potter? Not quite. Burning Man? Getting warmer. The Wallow in Clay Hollow Music Festival this weekend in Piermont, New Hampshire? Oh, wow, you nailed it! At this point many of you are probably saying to yourself, “But Dan, I’ve never even heard of that particular fest and I’ve already got plans to go to Festivus this weekend!� Either that or, “Wow, Dan, that was a mildly off-color remark about our little Gracie.� Or maybe, “Dude. Burning Man . . . dude.� To which I say, “Have fun. Yup. And duuuude!� But if none of the above statements apply to you, perk up your ears (eyes?) and follow the bouncing ball. Entering its sixth year, The Wallow is a down-home, grassroots music and arts festival devised by a small group of enterprising folks who enjoy the perfect union of music, friends and nature. And who doesn’t? However, these folks have also grown disenfranchised by the growing trend of bloated, over-hyped fests that serve more as a celebration of advertising than of music. (Dunkin’ effing Donuts Newport Folk Festival? Sigh.) So rather than let corporate stooges “harsh their mellow,� as the kids say, they decided to do something about it and started their own two-day music bender. Much like similar area music festivals — Festivus, The Northeast Kingdom Music Festival, et al. — The Wallow started very small and has naturally — some might say “organically� — evolved from an intimate gathering of friends and musicians to a legitimate hootenanny chock-full of music, good vibes and, of course, fireworks. This year will be no exception, with the likes of Granite State jam-rockers The Nearly Normal, Garden State indie-jam ensemble The Scarecrow Collection, Empire State jam-reggae act Slow Natives, the Green Mountain alt-country-not-jam stalwarts Bow Thayer and The Perfect Trainwreck and regional reggae-jam faves Roots of Creation, to name but a few. Festival organizer Neil Robie also promises a few “unpredictable music surprises� as well — I’m thinking, jam session? The fun begins this Friday and runs until the wee hours on Saturday night/Sunday morning. For more info, directions and to buy tickets visit www.wallowinclayhollow.com.
EN (AVANT) GARDE! There’s a new music website percolating in the Burlington corner of cyberspace, filling a long overlooked niche for a significant population of VT audiophiles. Called Aether Everywhere, the site is pioneered by sound aficionados Tanner McCuin and Josh LaClair, co-hosts of a Thursday night Radiator show of the same name. Essentially, the site serves as an online community resource for a variety of music genres that, for lack of a better term, fall under the nebulous umbrella of “experimental� music and, as the site puts it, “all the points where they

intersect.� The website features feeds to “other� music news from around the globe, as well as a discussion forum and a blog dedicated to exclusive AE updates and news. In addition to being a radio show and online aggregator, AE is also a record label. The imprint currently claims a handful of local artists including Jason Cooley sideproject School Bus, SP Koeller (one-third of Burlington “Nu-New Age� trio Oak), lo-fi noise-rock trio The Feeling Crew, and McCuin’s own noise/folk/found-sound collective Nest Material. Free downloads are available for all label artists as well as forums and podcasts. This Saturday, AE presents its grand unveiling, both as a label and website, with a mind-bending show at The Monkey House. Scheduled to appear are dark ambient duo Solah, Jay Blanchard’s (Solah) power electronics solo project Von Cosel, and freeimprov duo The Le Duo, all of whom reside on the new label. Also on tap are sound collage/field recording outfit Skyscraper and Burlington’s A Snake in the Garden.

Mi Yard: Reggae Night at Nectar’s has been a Sunday night staple in Burlington for years. At this point, many of us probably take for granted that it will always be there. As many times as I’ve promised DJ Big Dog that I’ll check it out, I’ve still never been. The thinking being that it happens every week without fail, so I can always catch it later. Such is the rub with longstanding residencies, I suppose. But this Sunday, I might have to dust off my red, yellow and green T-shirt and head down to what promises to be a “very special Mi Yard� indeed — that’s how the Nectar’s website describes it, and I’m holding them to it. So special, in fact, that this week’s installment has been moved upstairs to the newly luxurious digs of Club Metronome. You see, this week features legendary outfit Morgan Heritage, long hailed as one of the most influential reggae bands on the planet. MORGAN HERITAGE

This just in from the Dept. of Great Band Names: Brooklyn-based experimental rock duo Batter Recharger are swinging through Vermont for a pair of dates on their four-month U.S. tour. The husband-and-wife band claim a variety of influences, from Neil Young to Roy Orbison and Slayer to “Portuguese kid rap.� Really. The result is a high-octane blend of blues-inflected rock with healthy punk sensibilities. From what I’ve heard, it is safe to assume that these two put on one hell of a rollicking live show. See for yourself this Friday at Radio Bean and again at Nectar’s as part of the venue’s ongoing Rock Tuesday with Big J and The Unkempt Hair, Sourboy and L. Dora.

The band is composed of five offspring of reggae luminary Denroy Morgan and is touring on the heels of its tenth album, Mission in Progress, which spent several weeks atop the Billboard reggae charts. The quintet’s high-energy live act and socially conscious lyricism are a perfect match for Mi Yard. In my numerous conversations with Big Dog, the DJ always makes a point to talk about the positive music he exclusively plays. Folks might be getting’ down and dirty on the dance floor, but little do they know they are sweating and grinding to some seriously higher-conscious grooves. It’s kind of like morality by osmosis, I imagine. In any event, chances to catch a reggae band of this caliber in such an intimate setting are few and far between, even in the island nation of Burlington. Tickets are available at www.flynntix.org.

11 JUST DEEE-LOVELY & DEEE-LICIOUS :: Back in the day — that is, the early ’90s — few dance bands captivated the American public quite like Deee-Lite. Though the group’s carefree brand of house funk has since gone the way of hi-tops and Hammer pants, the groove is still very much in our hearts. This Friday at Club Metronome, Deee-Lite vocalist and songwriter Lady
Miss Kier returns from a five-year
hiatus with a special DJ set of new material created in collaboration with legendary funk master George Clinton and assorted members of Parliament Funkadelic. Local DJs Rob Douglas, A-Dog & J2 open the show, which also features a special performance from Winter Is a Drag Ball faves Rue Mevlana.

MICHAEL MURRAY, STYLE MATTERS
BREAD & BONES, I KNOW STORIES (Riptone Records)
(Raggmopp, CD) Guitars have a tendency to collect dust in Boston. There seems to be one in every disheveled Cambridge living room, one hidden in every closet in Somerville. Many of their rusted strings are played furiously in obscurity, never to be heard outside coffee houses or late nights in crowded apartments. Records like Michael Murray’s Style Matters should be savored that much more with these things in mind. Every so often, something escapes the din. Murray is an intrepidly honest songwriter. His lyrics punctuate a strong backing outfit that delivers an impeccable performance throughout. From the album’s introductory postcard offering “Drunken Prayer� to the blues-tinged “In the Country,� Style Matters is a potent collection of chronicles in a classically American pop-rock vein. Despite an acoustic foundation, there is not a meek indie-rock whisper to be found in Murray’s structure: He is refreshingly unconcerned with waking neighbors, expressing subtle romantic inclinations or making tricky allusions to the obvious. Drummer Paul Caldes deserves some credit here, backing the record with a variety of terrific snares, and bassist Neil Lawrence has a knack for finding its many low-end hooks. It’s hard not to conjure the more contemporary, post-Pixies catalogue of the deified, Massachusetts-born songwriter Frank Black in tracks such as the bright “Apricots� and the vivid “Take a Walk With Me.� But, while Black might pen an abstract melodic ode to an onion, Murray’s lines are charmingly accessible to the less conceptual set, inviting listeners to map the old cities’ terrain: “Maybe in Cambridge, / But in Medford / You’re a stranger; / Come look for me at Citizen’s Coffee.� If Style Matters has a fault, it’s that it ends in something of a whimper after its auspicious start — an inherent risk, given its hearty helping of 14 tracks. The glowing vocals and robust harmonica of “Out Again� would have been a more apt curtain call, and the same could be said of the piano ballad “Feel on the Walls for Familiar Things.� “Out Again� — Murray’s comparison of relationships to the tides of the ocean — is particularly sharp. “I try so hard to be your rock / But the tide comes in and takes me out again,� Murray laments, escorting a lavishly expanding sing-along chorus capped by a somber harmonica. Michael Murray appears at The Monkey House in Winooski this Friday night. JOHN PRITCHARD
Richard Ruane, Beth Duquette and Mitch Barron have performed music together and separately as members of various bands, including Feast or Famine, Sundog, The Hibernators and Wild Branch. While I can claim only a passing familiarity with these ensembles, their coming together as the acoustic trio Bread & Bones strikes me as inevitable. Their dynamic perfectly suits their rootsy bluegrass sound. The opening number of Bread & Bones’ debut album shares its name with the band. Straight away, the album’s strengths are clear. Ruane’s superlative guitar work drives the song. Barron’s nuanced bass line adds depth. Duquette’s and Ruane’s voices weave delightfully through each other and the music. “Bread & Bones� also showcases the album’s two major lyrical trends, old-timey folk balladry and bleak or absent romance. The song’s narrator commits a crime, flees (to the “borderline,� no less), and returns to be judged. Afterward, he or she laments having “no one to hold or be held to/no one to tell my secrets to.� Songwriters in traditional genres tend to evoke past eras overtly when not being temporally ambiguous. On “My Father Is Gone,� a child recollects a father who died working on the railway. It’s a fine song, effectively evoking a sense of death and loss, as well as the difficulty we have coming to terms. Still, I mean no criticism when I wonder: Why not a modern context for such themes? Would it be odd to lament a father whose spirit was broken when he was fired from IBM? A father who died because he had no health insurance? That said, Bread & Bones lose nothing by eschewing modern imagery in their lyrics. Their words are strong with a wealth of quotable lines, such as the Duquettedelivered “You call to me; / Why should I feel you? / I see your shape, / And you’re not there.� If I have one bone to pick with the recording, it’s the cleanliness. Digital recording allows a crisp and clear sound. But I’d prefer to hear this kind of music, which the band proudly admits is “steeped in tradition,� with a bit more warmth and haze. I Know Stories is a solid album made by musicians who know and love traditional American music. Check it out if you’re a fan or if you need a primer. And see them on Saturday, July 12 at The Music Box in Craftsbury. HERB VAN DER POLL

immortal beloved << 09B creative processes being affected? And how that is going to be reflected in my music? I mean, if we have to have a board meeting to decide what my album cover is going to look like. Or if I have to turn in music by the boatload and then someone else decides what my single is going to be or how it’s gonna be marketed. Recently, people have been asking me how I decide, if I create songs just for radio. And I say “no” constantly, that I just make music. And then however that works out, based on what we think would be more acceptable to radio, is what we push. But not as a “single” — as an introduction to the album. As an introduction to the framework of the conceptual strength of what I’m putting forth. That’s why the title track was what we decided to go with for this particular installment. SD: So does that have anything to do with the length of time between albums? IT: Yeah. But more than just that, it had a lot to do with the fact that I was involved with so many other projects. And that now I have a distributor that I go through directly, as opposed to going through other people, which caused problems in the
past in terms of accounting. So to me it was very, very simple to maneuver in this particular situation, where I’m not constrained by having a deal through anybody else. But my efficiency has been turned towards touring and the political and social programs I had. So I think that with a lot of stuff . . . I’m not going to say “took up my time,” because I don’t feel like it was a waste of time. I feel like it was an investment in something important that’s going to come to fruition very soon. But I really feel like now, more than ever, it is so important to have a dissenting voice out there, because we were on the verge of having no hope before. And now we’re on the verge of having blind hope. Which is just as dangerous. SD: That’s a good point . . . IT: We all want change. I say this all the time, but the war is not going to end. No one man is going to have the power to end a war where trillions of dollars have been invested. We talk about “change” in this campaign. You know what’s going to happen? The war is going to change. The war is not gonna end.
SD: I wish I didn’t agree with you . . . but speaking of change, could you talk a little bit about the social programs you’re involved with? IT: I got involved with several different organizations, one of which is G.A.ME, which I helped to co-found: The Graphic Artists Movement (www.kickgame. com). And basically we started it as a prototype for what we think should exist in the music industry, which is a health care system that provides for artists. And it was something that we did to show people — and to shame the industry with the example — that if some grassroots artists and organizers from the street can accomplish this, why can’t a multi-billion-dollar industry provide for the people that are making its music? I mean, there are people who work in an office at a record label who have health care. But the people involved with actually making the music have none. So I think there’s a difference between being a very small independent label like mine, where people have other jobs and health care through them, and then having a gigantic business where you have
literally, like, 100, 200 people involved in the process and none of them are covered. I was also involved with several fundraising projects to support immigrant groups, especially ones trying to provide for children. Specifically, children left behind when their parents were deported. Since they’re legal citizens, they were kept in this country. Also fundraising for children’s hospitals in Palestine. Now I’m working with a human-rights organization to create an orphanage in Afghanistan, believe it or not. It’s been a very trying time. You can imagine the trouble we go through with all of these organizations. Everyone is so scared. The army called it “terrorism.” And I’m sitting here saying, “Look, be serious. Do you really think that we’re here funding suicide bombers out of a children’s hospital?” SD: So you really practice what you preach. IT: The credit doesn’t just belong to me. I just came in to help organizations that had already been set up. People from Muslim student unions and people who are street-level organizers and people who are lifelong organizers in general, these people are just

as revolutionary, I would say 10 times more revolutionary than most people who talk about that in their music. These people actually live it. For me it was a very sobering realization to say, “You know what? I talk about all this, and while I participate in it, to look at my brothers and sisters who rhyme about it as well, and yet they’re not involved in half of it.” . . . It’s like comparing a gangsta rapper who rhymes about being a gangster, but isn’t really one. And then comparing them to a real gangster from the street that’s like, “I have to live like this. I might not be alive tomorrow and this is my life. You don’t want to be like me.” So now I’m working with people who live and breathe revolution. This is my life. And I make a living. But at the same time I’m able to help my people as well as support my family. Those two things, altruism and sustenance, can have a symbiotic relationship. You don’t have to choose between making a living and prostituting the world, or living in a monastery and taking a vow of silence to protest the injustices of the world. >

treasure islands Vermont has its very own archipelago, but for a lot of mainland folks, the five towns sprinkled on the Lake Champlain islands traversed by Route 2 are just a scenic backdrop for Canada-bound car trips. This weekend, a self-guided open farm and studio tour aims to change visitors’ viewpoints, when 30 off-thebeaten-track venues throw open their doors for two days. Discover demos of pottery-making, painting, stained glass, and fleece-to-sweater fiber arts; visit a cheese cave or a rustic space observatory; or see organic 3-D paper shapes become illuminated sculptures. Wood turner and tour organizer Jim Holzschuh hopes people will take the chance to “slow down and see what a beautiful place the Islands are.” Locate each site via yellow signs, or pick up a tour map at various stores. ‘Discover the Heart of the Islands’ Open Farm & Studio Weekend
Saturday and Sunday, July 12 & 13, at various locations in the Champlain Islands, 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. Free. Info, 372-4556

scene@ “BODY LANGUAGE” EXHIBIT SEGWAY DEMO ECHO LAKE AQUARIUM AND SCIENCE CENTER, BURLINGTON, SUNDAY, JULY 6, 1 P.M.
PHOTO: MATTHEW THORSEN
I have always made fun of the new-age scooters called Segways. But secretly embedded within my cynicism was a mounting curiosity — surely shared by many — and that’s why I went to ECHO’s “Body Language” exhibit last Sunday to give one a test drive. Bruce Morrissey, founder of SegRides of Vermont, was on hand with part of his “fleet” to complement the exhibit by offering demonstrations and free rides. As he explained the finer points of Seg-riding, I remembered all the crashes I had stupidly viewed on YouTube before coming. So, instead of volunteering as the guinea pig, I watched the first few riders and tried to bolster my confidence. Once aboard the Segway, I had to acquaint myself with the gravity-centered accelerator and throttle steering. To accelerate, you simply lean forward; you lean back to stop, and the Segway stops on a dime. You control the steering with a throttle-like knob on the left handlebar. Turn the knob all the way in one direction and you can spin in place, kind of like a figure skater, fully experiencing the Segway’s 360-degree turning radius. After a few laps behind ECHO, I was starting to get the feel for the Segway, and Bruce even complimented me on the way I bent my knees into the turns. Guess I’m a natural! I felt as cool as is possible riding a Segway, wearing my shades and metallic helmet and dodging waterfront walkers. I learned Bruce had spinners for the wheels but didn’t bring them along, so I was unable to pimp my Segway. Regardless, for one afternoon I was up there with the best of them: the NYPD, Shaq and all the other talented, high-selfesteem individuals willing and able to ride the vehicle today. Even better, I was able to add “Riding a Segway” to my list of “Things I Can Do That President Bush Can’t.” MIKE DIBIASIO

MOOD INDIGO Some creative partnerships last about as long as an ice cube on an Atlanta street in July. But Amy Ray and Emily Saliers have been gigging together — and turning out top-tier tunes — since they were in high school. The pair of Georgia natives chose the band name “Indigo Girls� by flipping through a dictionary in 1985. Five years later, they won a Grammy for Best Contemporary Folk Recording, and they’ve continued to win over listeners with their close harmonies and gritty, honest lyrics incorporating socially conscious messages. Though they’ve never been a couple, the Girls have been openly gay for the greater part of their careers, and play regularly in support of LGBTQ civil liberties as well as environmental issues, Native Americans’ rights, and anti-death-penalty causes. Catch them coloring outside the lines in Rutland this weekend.

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

BEE HERE NOW
WWW.LCMM.ORG
Local pride reaches its peak in July, when gardeners start harvesting — and comparing — homegrown veggies, and markets pile up the fresh-from-the-farm produce. Through August 14, Burlington’s Intervale Center hosts a weekly Thursday-evening celebration of community ag efforts. Picnics or hearth-baked American Flatbread pizzas precede a presentation of some strand of Vermont’s food web, followed by live music. This week, members of the Vermont Beekeepers Association handle hives, explain why pollinating insects are essential to food production, and promote “urban� backyard beekeeping as a healthy way to increase the six-legged honey-makers’ chances of surviving epidemics. After hearing the buzz, listeners mop up with fun, off-the-cuff cabaret-ska by drum and piano duo C. Scott and Billy Sheeran (pictured), a.k.a. North Carolina-based band Speedsquare.

If you’re looking for relationships, dates, flirts, or to hook-up, this is your scene. WOMEN seeking MEN HARDLY AN ANGEL I’m laid-back, kind and witty with a funny sense of humor. I’m a little shy until you get to know me. It can be wine or beer, theater or football. I think an awesome night is a nice meal, live music and great conversation. I’m looking neither for Mr. Right nor for Mr. Right Now - just some good company. Ezili8, 27, l, #110364 SPIRITUAL GIANT I have a smile that lights up the room. People are drawn to me and I believe it’s because I have an inner peace that radiates from my inside and shines on my outside. I would love to meet someone who can add to my spiritual side in ways I have not yet experienced. sammiex319, 21, l, #110361 A GENUINE LADY Life is too short and I would love to share mine in friendship or more with a genuine, caring, considerate gentleman. Are you out there? KbearXC2, 39, #110338 I LOVE LAUGHING - LOUDLY. The sports I love to play are the ones I am horrible at. I sing along to all songs on the radio. When I laugh hard, I snort. I think a spoonful of peanut butter dipped in cocoa puffs is the best snack ever. I say what I mean, and mean what I say. Let’s have a great time. fresas713, 21, l, #110336 COOL, CALM BURLINGTON GIRL I’m an easygoing girl who’s looking for someone to share some time with. I love to travel or just lay low. I would like to meet a kind, thoughtful, passionate person - someone interested in getting to know a girl who’s still getting to know herself. katvt, 25, #110301 THINK YOU CAN HANDLE ME? I’m realistic, intelligent, honest and caring. I think the success of a person can be judged by their relationships with the people around them, and therefore my family and friends are very important to me. I’m a country girl at heart but I love my computer, movies and books. I have no patience for illegal activities. PluckyLilDucky13, 22, l, #110324 LOOKING FOR NEW FRIENDS AND ADVENTURES This is a bit awkward as I am a newbie to this sort of thing. I consider myself a passionate, witty, generous person. I enjoy sunshine, the beach, crafts, a good cup of coffee and interesting conversations. I believe I’m an easygoing adventurer who likes to try new things. I’m not big into a lot of sports and absolutely hate politics. classicrocker, 46, #110318 SKI, DANCE, MUSIC, TRAVEL, ENTERTAIN I enjoy an active life, being out with friends, going to the theater, entertaining, and attending social events. I love music; last concert was Tom Petty, but I also enjoy classical and jazz. On a Saturday, you might find me at a local festival or enjoying Church Street. I love the water: ocean, lake or pond. I enjoy fishing. Enthusiastic skier. classicvtwmn, 50, l, #110307

FUN-LOVING, HARDWORKING Have arrived at a good place in my life and am looking to share good times with a special someone. If you are looking for an independent, fun-loving person, let’s meet for coffee and see what happens. Gigi, 48, #110303 TALL WORDS, STEADY HEART MUSIC I love my family, love my kids, love my friends, love this place where I live and am greedy enough to want to love a man, too - someone who can tangle language and bed sheets and life and bar chords and pick some greens, deal with teens and find places unseen. langtangler, 44, l, #110246 DANSEZ-VOUS? Don’t let my quiet nature fool you. Underneath, I have an adventurous spirit, a passion for the eclectic, desire for personal growth and a compassionate heart. Long walks with my Golden Retriever, trips to Maine with friends for lobster and paddling, berry and apple picking, and attending local concerts and festivals are some of my favorite activities. canteedance, 40, l, #110282 CREATIVE, COMPASSIONATE, SEEKER OF KNOWLEDGE I like the indoors as well as out. I like many different types of things and don’t like to limit myself. I’m interested in travel and learning new things about the world. I love meeting different and interesting people and finding out what I can learn about life from them. I enjoy long, interesting and sometimes intense conversations. Wanna talk? 30somethinginVT, 32, l, #110271 HIP MOM LOOKING FOR FRIENDS/DATING Hey, I am a 30-something newly single mother of two. I am 5’9”, 157 lbs., with long, brownblond hair. I’m fairly attractive, so I’ve been told. Looking for friends, possibly someone to hang and go out with on a date, maybe something more eventually. New to the dating scene so want to take it slow. lovinmy2, 34, #110252 CURIOUS Here it is. I am 18 and love to have fun. I have a quirky sense of humor and don’t get most jokes but make up for it in other areas! I have been with only guys but am ready to try a relationship with a girl. Remember, I am just as shy as you are! chelz, 18, #110249 SHE MADE US DRINKS... I’m a sexy, easy going gal looking for a guy to sweep me off my feet. I love to cuddle up at home with a movie, or go out on the town and dance the night away. You can find me selling phones, or making a mouth-watering martini. Interested in finding out more? Send me a message and we’ll chat. Lifesing7, 23, l, #110227 FUN, SWEET, KIND Looking for some laid-back people to hang out with this summer. Let’s go to the VPB and have a beer or go do a little hiking! irishgirlie3, 24, #110228 FUN-LOVING SPIRIT Seeking companion to share fun and romance. Friends first, but open for a long-term relationship. Set in my career and loving life but would like to share that with someone special. Looking for compassion, good sense of humor and security with where you are in life. Looking forward to meeting you! breath4vt, 48, l, #110215
WOMEN seeking WoMEN SWEET AND PERKY I’m an emotionally independent, intelligent, honest woman. I believe that communication and chemistry are key ingredients in any successful relationship. I’m a physically fit mother of two. I’m looking for a woman who can make me laugh, show me a good time, and teach me something about life. Applicants for this position should be open, passionate, smart, active. dani_girl1211, 33, l, #110366 IF YOU WANT ME TO I could hang around with you, if I only knew that that’s what you’re into. And if you want me to, I will take off all my clothes for you if that’s what you’re into. And if it’s cool with you, I’ll let you get naked, too. It could be a dream come true - providing that’s what you are into. shock, 19, l, #110242 HELP REAWAKEN MY SPIRIT Fun, free-spirited, compassionate woman entering a new phase of life. Nest is empty and I’d love to find an energetic, life-loving woman to develop a friendship and go from there. Let’s spend time outside exploring, curl up on the couch with a glass of wine, watch a movie or talk for hours. I have a big kid inside. Can you coax her out again? awakeningflower, 48, l, #110220 CARING, NURTURING, INTELLIGENT WOMAN Flexible and easygoing is how I live my life. I love to laugh and consider myself a funny person. I am a mom, sister, daughter, friend. I respect those who live their lives truly and honestly. I like who I am and am attracted to strong and vibrant women who are accepting and nurturing. timewilltell100, 35, l, #110181
I, ME, OUR EARTH Hey, I’m just looking for a cool girl who loves the outdoors and would enjoy it more with a partner. I’m easygoing, active and ready for anything you want to throw at me. I’m also into home-cooked dinners, music and movies for two. snow, 20, u, l, #110372 ALL PATHS LEAD SOMEWHERE SPECIAL I am a compassionate soul on the path to transgender living (m to f), intelligent, thoughtful, compassionate and walking the path before me. I am seeking an openminded woman who finds the human soul inside and is open to change and compassion. I enjoy many things that most have forgotten about: life, relationships, love and the wonders Mother Earth has given us. AriBodhi, 50, l, #110289 ISLAND HOMEMADE ICE CREAM I’m always down for dinner and a good conversation. I like coffee, beer and ice cream. I cook with help from the Joy of Cooking and How to Cook Everything. I like board games and card games, and sometimes I read people children’s books. Nothing turns me on more than an independent woman with a big heart. bicycleinbtown, 31, l, #110363 NO REST FOR THE WICKED So here’s the deal. I just wanna meet some people, maybe for a LTR. One-nighters are OK, but I’d rather just be with one person I’m happy with. I’m 25 years old, 6’ tall, 215 lbs. with brown hair and blue eyes. I’d say I’m good-lookin’ but what do I know? Find out for yourself. farmboy4life, 25, l, #108326 RECENTLY DIVORCED FATHER OF TWO Reentering the dating scene. Looking for a woman to join me in exploring the joys of life. divorcedrecently, 48, #110339

STYLISH GEEK SEEKS ASPIRING LADY I am very romantic. I love wining and dining with a lovely lady on my arm. I am looking for a woman who aspires to go on to higher education, likes to be spoiled, and is assertive and intelligent. A lady who plays Dungeons & Dragons is a plus! :). Euphoriciguana, 21, l, #110326
WILD LIFE WATER TIME2FALL I’m getting younger every day, finally young enough to celebrate this way. Eyes manipulate time flowing like water thru space. I seek eye contact, honesty, trust, rolling in the savanna or moss, under the beautiful waterfalls of this small ball that we call Gaia. Want to celebrate the end of the bad bush with a good LTR one!! Wildlife, 40, u, l, #109869
ACTIVE, COMPASSIONATE, LOYAL Making a difference with people is what life is all about. Sailing and kayaking, bike riding in the summer and cross-country skiing in the winter. I like to cook as well as eat out, and dancing and traveling are great. Looking for a partner who likes to communicate. Working through differences is what life is about, and adds to intimacy. Chuckg, 65, l, #110297
LOOKING FOR AN ADVENTURE I am looking to share my experiences, life, music, and interest with someone who can offer the same, whether similar or different. Looking for honesty and someone who can be themselves. I enjoy music, FOOD, laughing, coffee, the ocean, animals, movies and most of all road trips.

Share your thoughts. Harryhaller, 56, l, #110373 NICEST GUY AROUND I am told I’m a sweet, really nice guy, and if I were straight, I’d have been grabbed up a long time ago.

i Spy... Dear Mistress Maeve: Is it possible for a pussy to get more beautiful? I’m in my 40’s and have been seeing a wonderful guy for about six months. I’m also getting the best sex of my life on a regular basis. Never before have I looked at my pussy and thought it was lovely, but my guy tells me it is beautiful, and I swear: It is getting prettier every day. It’s certainly getting more exercise than ever before! But is it really possible — after having three kids and being in my 40’s — that it actually can get prettier, or is this just a delightful hallucination? Seeing things in a whole new light, C
Va Va Voom I like your bazooms! You: topless babe at the potholes, July 4. Me: young stud too busy feasting on the eye candy to cliffjump. That dude your brother? You and your tanned girlfriend should meet us at the cliffs. You bring the beer, cigarettes and the bottom half of your bikinis and we’ll recklessly jump off rocks trying to impress you. When: Friday, July 4, 2008. Where: Bolton. You: Woman. Me: Man. #904103 Let’s finally meet! We passed each other Friday on College Street, our eyes lingering as we mouthed “Hey.” I do believe you are the same girl I have seen on my stoop on Pearl Street when you were visiting your friend who just moved. Want to meet on the stoop Thursday around 6:30 p.m.? That is, if you are single, of course. When: Friday, July 4, 2008. Where: College Street. You: Woman.

Me: Woman. #904100
Dear C, Congrats on your new relationship — with your boyfriend and your vagina. I suspect you know this, but your pussy hasn’t changed — your outlook has. When we feel desired and wanted, we begin to see our bodies as attractive and sexy. However, the key is to understand that we don’t need someone else to make us feel this way. It’s great that you found a partner who will affirm the prettiness of your pussy, but bear in mind that your vagina looks the same regardless of your relationship status. Beauty, whether we’re talking vaginas or other body parts, comes from within. If we decide to see ourselves as beautiful, that confidence radiates outward so that others may see our beauty as well. Hang on to this newfound confidence and don’t let it go. Your pussy — regardless of age or relationship status — will always be pretty, so long as you believe it to be true.
In pussy prettiness,
mm

My dream vacation would be... to take two months every year and travel to different parts of the world, trying to spend the time with “localâ€? people rather than as a typical tourist. if i weren’t a Realtor, i would be a‌ travel consultant.
My most prized possession is... well, not a “possession� , but the thing I prize the most is my family!
photo: matthew thorsen
theREALESTATEDEAL
before i was a Realtor, one of my interesting jobs was... just out of business school and working for a printing company — scheduling, proofing, layout.
On a Sunday morning you will most likely find me... reading the paper and relaxing for a few hours. My favorite lunch place is... anything European, Asian or Mediterranean. My favorite toy as a kid was... Barbie dolls and accessories. if i had $10.99 to spend, i would buy‌ something for my kids. if i could eat one food for the rest of my life it would be‌ One food is a bit difficult, but a meal is easier: seasoned chicken, jasmine rice, fresh veggies.
the talent i wish i possessed is... the incredible artistic and musical talents that my kids have! the first piece of real estate i bought was... a 960-square-foot, three-bedroom ranch-style home when I was 21 years old (and prices were a lot lower!). if there were an extra hour in the day, i would spend it... probably checking my email or catching up on my work or reading.

Immortal Beloved BY DAN BOLLES
U
nderground hiphop star Immortal Technique is perhaps the living embodiment of the societal struggles he now writes about. He may also be proof that struggle and steadfast idealism can actually engender positive results. The arc of Tech’s formative years in many ways mirrors the arc of his career. He was born in a military hospital in Peru. His family fled that country’s bloody civil war in the early 1980s and sought sanctuary in Harlem, where he was raised and still resides. But his youth in New York City was marked by numerous outbursts of violence — and, eventually, jail time. Similarly, Tech’s early music reflected an idealistic, angry and misunderstood artist. Talent and passion were evident in his first two recordings, Revolutionary Vols. 1 & 2 — released in 2001 and 2003, respectively. But equally apparent was his youthful inability to fully harness the poetic power at his disposal and wield his fiery commentary as a
lyrical épée, rather than a verbal battering ram. It has been almost five years since those albums dropped and shook the underground hip-hop community — and an appalled “Moral Majority” — into something resembling wakefulness. During that time, the MC has invested considerable time and energy to help heal the ills he documented so vividly in his early works. Tech has worked with numerous social organizations for a variety of causes, putting his money where his mouth is. A little older and a little wiser, he now returns with a new mixtape, The 3rd World, and his personal growth shows. Though no less impassioned, Tech has refined his art; he deftly flays social injustice with a cunning blend of humor, insight and intellect. The recording finds the MC fully in control of his abilities and, perhaps more importantly, his message. Seven Days recently chatted with Immortal Technique by phone in advance of his performance this Friday at the Higher Ground Ballroom.
SEVEN DAYS: What role do you think music can, or should, play in politics? IMMORTAL TECHNIQUE: Well, I think music and politics, and entertainment and politics have been intertwined since before the Roman Empire. I mean we’re talking about over 3000 years of having historical accounts be reproduced by musicians, by artists. By people of all walks of life that have careers based on entertainment. I’m saying all this because the biggest critics of anything that’s revolutionary, or anything that has a message, are people who don’t have a product that can match that message. And in order for them to get over that, they constantly remind us: “Well, this is all about entertainment and this all . . . whatever.” And I’m saying, “All right, fine.” If we take that example and say that hip-hop is nothing more than “just entertainment,” then isn’t it just as important to point out that . . . there are all types of entertainment, and entertainment can do different things. Entertainment can inspire. Entertainment can educate. Entertainment can
underscore. Entertainment can elaborate on issues. I mean, most comedians express their politics through their comedy, whether we go back to Lenny Bruce or whether we talk about Chris Rock. So I think that even in that aspect we have to realize that entertainment can achieve so many things. Entertainment can also placate. Entertainment can also pacify. Entertainment can ignore certain issues. So I think it’s incredibly important for us to realize the strength and the power that this music has always had. And by “this music,” I mean music with a message. SD: Is that one of the reasons you’ve resisted signing with major labels? IT: You’re right, brother. But at the same time I thought to myself that if I was going to accept that [major label] power structure, I was going to have to live with the advantages and disadvantages of it. So I thought, if this is the case, what am I really going to end up with at the end of the day, in terms of my own >> 15B
