issue

For some observers, the words “fashion” and “Vermont” are oxymoronic. The Green Mountain State is associated more with Carhartt than Cartier. But whether we’re from New York City or Newfane, we all think about clothing sometime. In this issue, we’re not going all Vogue on you, but we do look at dressing with style on a budget and making clothes last longer, for less money, with some hot laundry tips.

We introduce you to an image consultant — yes, in Vermont — explain how aprons became hip, and rifle through the closet of Burlington’s most fashionable man.

And don’t worry: We won’t make fun of you for wearing Crocs. Well, maybe a little.

< letters> HOE, SWEET HOE As a small farmer, I was glad to see Amy Picchi’s story highlighting the South Village model [“Plated Community,” May 13], which integrates a working farm into a residential development project. The integration of agricultural and residential offers a promising solution to land access, access to healthy food and a need for greater relationships to the farm. As Ms. Picchi states the South Village project is “unlike any modern development in Vermont,” I invite her to visit Champlain Valley Cohousing, also right here in Chittenden County, and now four years along. While much smaller, ultimately allowing 26 homes on 10 acres, CVC also boasts LEED-certified homes, affordable housing options, a community garden, and 115 acres of wetlands, forests and pasture.

CVC, unlike South Village, is developed and managed by its residents, not a private developer, and not for profit. Additionally, my wife and I own and operate Bloomfield Farm, now in our fourth season, offering CSA shares to CVC residents and the larger community. Bloomfield Farm offers pick-your-own flowers and herbs, meat, eggs and eventually fruit from a small orchard. We operate our farm as a distinct business on land owned by the residents of CVC.

We think it’s a very positive and relevant approach to farming and development, including urban infill, for Vermont’s future, and ask Ms. Picchi to come by sometime soon for a visit to see what a working farm and modern development look like in the present.

B’BORO VS. BOISE Brattleboro is a marvelous town that really cares about maintaining what it has to offer — without being more than it is, an admirable quality in any town [“The Other B-Town,” May 27].

I recently visited B’boro for the first time and was instantly struck by how comfortable the citizens are with their living in the town.

My city — Boise, Idaho — has seen massive growth, and it has been a constant struggle to maintain a sense of community. I don’t think B’boro has had that same challenge to that same degree, but to understand, believe in and fight doggedly for what makes your town wonderful is to have accomplished much.

Jail Break at Alabama Prison Where Vermont Inmates Were Held File this story under “And not a moment too soon”: An embarrassing (and dangerous) jail break occurred two weeks ago at the Alabama prison where some Vermont inmates had been held until recently. In April, the Vermont Department of Corrections decided to remove the 80 or so inmates it had at the Perry County Detention Center in Uniontown, Alabama, over concerns about safety and (go figure) lax security.

The prison is owned by LCS Corrections Services, a forprofit prison company based in Lafayette, Louisiana.

According to a June 5 Associated Press story, police in seven states are now searching for a convicted murderer, a fellow inmate and the women who busted them out of the privately owned prison. Reportedly, the Alabama Department of Corrections wasn’t notified of the escape until 12 hours after it occurred. (There’s no mention in the story as to why it took the AP two weeks to learn of the escape.) Meanwhile, seven prison employees have been fired for the series of security blunders that allowed the daring plot to occur.

REV IT UP!!!

Seven Days contributor Aimee Picchi went to the Burlington School Board meeting on June 2 and filed this report on Blurt.

Burlington’s Edmunds school complex may soon ramp it up.

On June 2, two committees of the Burlington School Board received an estimate for adding ramps, elevators and handicapped-accessible bathrooms, making the elementary and middle schools accessible to those with mobility issues. The final price tag? Just over $8 million.

That’s almost half of what the school district had estimated the cost might be earlier this year, when it was pegging the work as high as $15 million. The reason for the lower estimate is the current plan, which calls for the work to be completed in four phases over several years, has shaved some items from the earlier vision for renovating the complex, property services director Chris Giard told members of the infrastructure and technology committee Tuesday evening. For instance, the earlier plan included complete renovation of the bathrooms, while the current approach calls for adding one handicapped-accessible toilet and sink to the existing restrooms.

“You can’t deny it: They did an excellent job,” Richard Harbison, executive vice president of LCS Corrections Services told the AP about the escapees, not his staff. “But you have to remember that inmates have 24 hours a day to sit around and think up ways to escape.”

A Failure to Communicate?

D

oes history repeat itself? Today’s Burlington City Council shenanigans — including Democratic efforts to block one or more of the mayor’s annual appointees — suggest so. For readers who remember the Queen City in June 1981, June 2009 feels like “déjà vu all over again.”

In 1981, the great communicator — Republican Ronald Reagan — was in the White House, and a self-described socialist — Bernie Sanders — was the Queen City’s mayor. Council Dems were bitter that their candidate, Gordon Paquette, had lost by 10 votes to Sanders. So they set out to block almost every appointment the Brooklyn carpetbagger tried to make. Reasoning?

Keep the Paquette folks in power until they could un-elect Sanders. It didn’t quite work out that way. Their power ploy catapulted Sanders all the way to the U.S. Senate.

That June, Dems blocked Sanders’ appointment of the city clerk, assistant city clerk, treasurer, assessor, city attorney, and public health and safety officer.

The council is supposed to be a co-equal branch of government.

Ed AdriAn, Burlington City CounCilor

Their efforts to bring city hall to its knees promptly backfired: It made Sanders, not the Dems, look virtuous. That prompted their slide into political oblivion; the Dems eventually lost all but two of the council’s 13 seats.

It wasn’t until this year that Democrats came close to an outright council majority. They hold seven seats, and the council prez is a Dem. Today the great White House communicator is Democrat Barack Obama and Progressive Bob Kiss is Burlington’s mayor. The city’s Dems are positioning themselves to block Larry Kupferman’s reappointment as head of the city’s Community and Economic Development Office. Ditto Kiss’ efforts to replace Parks & Recreation Director Wayne Gross.

The Dems also have “issues” with Public Works Director Steve Goodkind and Chief Adminstrative Officer Jonathon Leopold, but those two positions seem safe — for now.

“I’m watching the Democrats make the same mistakes now as they did then,” said John Franco, a local attorney and longtime Progressive who served as city attorney under Sanders. In fact, Franco was denied his appointment as city clerk in 1981. “Thwarting the mayor’s appointments blew up in their faces. Bernie came across as a hero and they were seen as obstructionists.”

Franco recalls that Sanders actually took the council to superior court to break the logjam, but the judge ruled it was a political problem, not a legal one, and refused to get involved.

Politics eventually broke the Democrats’ grip. Sanders reached out to Republicans on the council to create a governing coalition. Then, in the 1982 elections, the Independent Coalition (a precursor to the Progressive Coalition) won five of the council’s 13 seats.

Back to 2009: Fresh from their double-veto Statehouse smackdown, Democrats around Vermont have a bit more swagger in their stride.

The quiet and reserved Mayor Kiss may be their next political victim.

Think about it. It has to gnaw at some Dems that Progressives have had a near virtual lock on the Burlington mayor’s office since 1981.

And Kiss’ recent reelection bid, like Sanders’ first victory, was razor thin. With only three Progs on the current council, Kiss has a lot of convincing to do.

On Monday night, he met privately with a handful of Democratic city councilors to discuss the process of mayoral appointments.

“I think the situation can be best described as a communication problem,” said Councilor Ed Adrian (D-Ward 1), who chairs the Democratic caucus.

He said the Dems told the mayor they wanted the council kept more closely apprised of city business.

I wonder, does Adrian mean the entire council or just the Democratic caucus?

Kiss says he has kept the council posted on his administration’s doings and is puzzled why the Democrats alone have chosen to thwart his appointments.

“It’s clear to me as a mayor that I have the responsibility to build a team to do the work of the administration,” said Kiss.

He says the communication breakdown appears to be on their end.

Kiss gave councilors four days’ notice about his appointments, yet they told him only four hours before the council meeting that they had “problems” with his appointments.

Kiss said he met “at the 11th hour” with Ward 6 Democratic councilor Joan Shannon to hear their concerns. He then withdrew his appointments and agreed to have them considered on June 15.

The council does play a role when it comes to high-level appointees, similar to the “advise and consent” capacity of senators in Montpelier and Washington.

And while you sometimes see political antics crop up in D.C., you never see that in Montpelier and it’s practically unheard of in Burlington. The occasional residency requirement discussion, maybe, and that’s about it.

“The council is supposed to be a co-equal branch of government,” notes Adrian, “and I think we want the mayor to clue us in more on what he’s thinking and better explain to us what he’s doing so we can make informed decisions.”

The city council will take up Kiss’ mayoral appointments this coming week, but it’s not yet clear if Democrats will >> 13A

Council President Bill Keogh (D-Ward 5) said he has no predictions about Monday’s outcome, but stressed that the 2009 Democratic caucus is nothing like the 1981 version.

“As I recall, that one was a lot more aggravated, and I’m not sure that we’re that aggravated,” said Keogh.

Not yet.

All for One — Sports is all about teamwork, and nobody knows that better than the state’s best high school long jumper — Burlington High School’s Minh John Lu. A BHS senior, Lu was disqualified at the Essex invitationals on May 30 after a Middlebury High School coach complained about a logo on Lu’s compression shorts.

Never mind that the shorts are part of the BHS uniform, or that team members have been wearing them in competitions throughout the year. State rules govern how large a logo can be on an article of clothing worn during competition.

The decision could have

Lu worried his predicament would distract the team from its effort to win a state title for the first time in decades. It didn’t, as the BHS team took the crown before a hometown crowd.

Lu and Chu now turn their attention to this weekend’s big meet, which will also be held at BHS. Barack the Quad — Will Pres. Barack Obama make the trek to Vermont to celebrate the 400th anniversary of Samuel de Champlain’s “discovery” of Lake Champlain?

There is a precedent. One century ago, Pres. William Howard Taft stopped by for theTricentennial fête.

That’s more than Pres.

George W. Bush did for Vermont while he was in the White House. He thoroughly snubbed Vermont — the one state he never visited.

A letter signed by Vermont’s congressional delegation, the governor and Burlington’s mayor went out to Obama

this week that the state has stopped paying to have commission proceedings recorded.

Sinking Subs — The Burlington Free Press may still technically be the state’s largest daily newspaper, but it continues to shrink — in more ways than one. The latest?

The Gannett-owned daily is discontinuing many of its home-delivery routes.

Service for an undetermined number of subscribers will end July 3, according to a letter from Patrick McDonough, the Freeps’ operations manager. A letter to a Northeast Kingdom subscriber reads, “I apologize for the bad news, but we are no longer able to maintain a delivery route of such length at this time on a daily basis.”

No word from Freeps top brass on how many routes have been cut from circulation.

denied Lu a shot at a New England title, but teammates, parents and community members rallied around the athlete.

There was also media attention, including a post on the Seven Days staff blog, Blurt.

Last Wednesday, the Vermont Principals’ Association overturned the disqualification ruling.

“There was no reason to punish a student for something the adults did wrong,” said Bob Johnson, VPA’s activities director.

Kevin Chu, one of Lu’s teammates and a top-ranked hurdler, led the effort to reinstate Lu to Vermont’s New England squad. He started a Facebook group — “Protest the unjust disqualification of Minh John Lu of Burlington” — that in days grew from a handful of supporters to 900. Group members sent emails to the VPA urging them to overturn the DQ. “I feel like track rules shouldn’t matter if they don’t affect the outcome of the competition,” Chu told “Fair Game.” “There is no competitive advantage from wearing a logo. Rules are in place to preserve safety and fairness and I’m all for them.”

Chu threatened to pull out of the New England championships to protest the ruling. In the end, Lu wouldn’t allow him to back out.

It’s not beyond the realm of possibility. Obama has key allies in our three-member congressional delegation, and Gov. Jim Douglas seems to be his BRF — Best Republican Friend.

Paul Bell is the fourth member in less than a year to step down because of conflicts with three gubernatorial appointees.

6/9/09 11:32:47 AM

ntil the past year or so, Vermont’s organic milk producers defied the laws of dairy-farm economics: They actually made money. Sales of organic milk soared 20 percent nationwide in 2008 as an increasing number of shoppers put environmental and health concerns ahead of personal financial calculations. They were willing to pay more than twice as much for organic milk as for the conventional kind.

Then the recession hit, shrinking demand for the organic product, which sells for $4.79 a halfgallon at City Market in Burlington compared with $1.99 for the same quantity of conventional milk. City Market’s sales of Organic Valley halfgallons nosedived in April — from 830 units the previous year to 273, reports Marketing Manager Nicole Fenton. In May, she adds, the same product flew off the shelves — but it was marked down 25 percent.

In Middlebury, the Natural Foods Co-op has recorded only a slight decrease in organic milk sales — a result that corresponds closely to the national figures. The U.S. Department of Agriculture reported monthly declines of organic whole milk sales in January and February of 3.6 and 1.4 percent, respectively.

March actually saw a 3 percent increase over the previous year.

Despite economic insecurities, many consumers, such as Judy Line of Burlington, remain committed to buying organic. Placing a half-gallon of Strafford Organic Creamery milk in her City Market shopping cart last Monday, Line explained that she seeks to support Vermont farmers, prefers glass containers to plastic, and thinks organic milk tastes better. “I’m cutting back on some stuff, like going to the movies, but not on organic milk or produce,” Line said.

Many consumers less resolute than Line have taken the cheaper option, and the result is a swell in the supply of organic milk, which was already rising as an increasing number of dairy farmers made the transition out of conventional production. The prospect of surpluses has motivated the leading processor of organic milk, Wisconsin-based Organic Valley, to cut their purchases from farmers by 7 percent.

The aim is to keep supply in rough equilibrium with demand, thereby

stabilizing the price. It’s similar to what oil-producing nations try to do with global prices for their commodity.

Organic Valley, a producers’ coop, pays its farmer-members about $30 per hundredweight of milk. A conventional dairy farmer in Vermont can expect to receive about $12 per hundredweight.

The processors’ innovative effort to manage supply gives organic milk producers a key advantage over their conventional counterparts. Farmers who sell their milk to nonorganic processors are subject to wild price swings as supply and demand frequently lurch out of balance. “Conventional farmers have just been whipsawed,” observes Dave Rogers, a policy analyst with the Northeast Organic Farming Association. “It’s such a relief to have stable prices.

Farmers can actually plan.”

But a 7 percent drop in milk orders amounts to a 7 percent drop in revenues, which “could be catastrophic” for some organic dairy farmers, says John Cleary, New England dairy coordinator for Organic Valley. Cleary estimates that about two-thirds of Vermont organic dairy herders are still making money, while the remainder are generally at least managing to pay their bills. Margins can be straw thin, however.

J.D. and Cheryl de Vos made money the first few years after shifting from conventional to organic milk production at their North Ferrisburgh farm in 2005.

Now they’re losing about $12,000 a month, Cheryl figures.

“It’s been a tough year,” adds Lori Choiniere, an organic dairy farmer in Highgate. She notes that her family’s third-generation farm is larded with debt taken on during the years when it used chemical fertilizers.

Still, none of Vermont’s roughly 200 organic dairy farms have gone out of business — in conspicuous contrast to the demise of 36 conventional cow operations in the first six months of this year. And struggling organic farmers such as de Vos and Choiniere are optimistic about returning to profitability.

“It’ll come back,” Choiniere says.

“So many people are into organic food now that the market is going to get stronger.”

J.D. de Vos also thinks better times are coming, but he could be an inveterate optimist. De Vos made his prediction from a face-down position in a massage chair, a posture his doctors say will help his left eye heal after three recent rounds of surgery. In a bloody reminder of the daily dangers that farming entails, a strand of wire sprang loose and slashed de Vos’ eye as he was mending a fence early last month.

Even if the recession continues to crimp his ambitions, de Vos says he has no regrets about going organic.

The 550-acre spread he shares with his father previously saw the use of a bovine growth hormone known as BST, as well as other hormones that make lactation cycles more efficient. “Getting away from that was far and away the best thing we’ve ever done,” says de Vos, who recalls being initially skeptical about abandoning conventional techniques.

“This way it’s just better for the planet,” says Cheryl de Vos, who initiated dinner-table talk about going organic after attending a NOFA workshop in 2003. It’s also better for the cows, she finds. The farm’s 180 milkers produce less milk than they did when they were boosted with BST, but they don’t sicken as often, and they remain productive longer, de Vos notes.

Regina Beidler, a former social worker who farms in Randolph with her husband Brent, is among the organic milk producers left unscathed by the recession. “We’re doing well,” Beidler reports. “We’ve always been very conscious of the debt load we take on. That’s been a positive piece for us.”

Another key factor may be that the Beidlers raise about 80 percent of the feed consumed by their 35 Jerseys and Holsteins. Organic feed is one expense that makes it much costlier to produce organic than conventional milk.

According to estimates by the Cattle Network national news service, production costs for Vermont organic dairy farmers range from $30 to $32 per hundredweight of milk that their cows provide. The corresponding figure for Vermont’s conventional dairy producers is $25.

Based on these numbers, the Cattle Network computes that Vermont organic dairy farmers are losing, on average, $4 per hundredweight,

JAZZ FESTIVAL

6/9/09 8:45:32 AM

So far, so upbeat. Ideal weather and a diverse lineup launched the 10-day fest in style. This time of year, anyway, Burlington looks a lot bigger than it is.

LARRY KUPFERMAN

City council aims to oust Burlington’s CEDO director by not approving his reappointment. Meanwhile, he’s also filling in as HR director — his old job. Awkward.

while conventional milk producers in the state are suffering a calamitous $13 shortfall.

The vast difference between earnings and expenditures accounts for the slow-motion extinction of conventional dairy farming in Vermont. Fifty years ago, there were nearly 9000 dairy farms in the state; the current number approaches the 1000 mark. Even though several more farmers are likely to give up before the year is out, Vermont Agriculture Secretary Roger Albee insists that dairying will remain part of the state’s future.

“We’re still going to have dairy farms,” Albee says, noting that Ver-

“organic dairy farmers are no more united than conventional dairy farmers.”

Cheryl de Vos offers the same perspective. “We tend to be competitive with one another,” the North Ferrisburgh farmer says in regard to her organic as well as conventional dairy colleagues. “We’re too independent. Things would be better if we worked as a group.”

She’s not alone in holding that view. An organization called Dairy Farmers Working Together is rallying support in Vermont for a supplymanagement plan intended to stabilize prices at a level that enables milk producers to stay in business.

huge difference for dairy farmers, both organic and conventional, Maltby adds. Under those elusive circumstances, a conventional dairy farmer could be expected to earn more than an organic producer, he figures, estimating their returns on equity at 5 percent and 2.5 percent, respectively.

But government policy makers should not regard comparative profitability as a determinant in deciding whether to encourage organic or conventional production, says James Maroney, owner of a Leicester hay farm and author of The Political Economy of Milk. He calls conventional dairy farming “profligate of

A growing segment of this population is willing to pay more to eat local, Albee points out.

Moving to capitalize on that socio-dietary trend, the state’s Ag Agency is launching a “Keep Local Farms” initiative whereby milk drinkers in the Northeast will be given the option of paying a premium price for a container emblazoned with that logo. Ag Agency spokeswoman Kelly Loftus says she doesn’t know what that price will be. She also declined to reveal the identity of “the major retailer” with which the Ag Agency is partnering on this initiative. Loftus does say it could be a chain such as Hannaford, Shaw’s or Price Chopper.

The best way to save dairy farms is through a political movement of dairy farmers, suggests NOFA’s Rogers. He has some cred on this matter, having previously worked 28 years in the UVM animal science department as a conventional dairy cow specialist. “Historically, farmers have been price takers,” Rogers says. “They’ve gotten screwed for a long time as a result. Milk producers need to be united and involved in marketing,” he adds, observing that

Despite the recession, some analysts regard the economic outlook as favorable for organic dairy farmers in Vermont.

“The profit margin can be there for them,” says Glenn Rogers, a regional farm management specialist for the UVM Extension Service. He bases that assessment on a four-year study of Vermont dairy economics that’s now nearing completion. The organic dairy sector is maturing, Rogers finds, pointing to a recent decline in organic grain prices as one indicator. He also expects the retail price of organic milk to slide in the next couple of years, making it more competitive with conventional.

Ed Maltby, director of the Northeast Organic Dairy Producers Alliance, expects growth in demand to resume as the recession wanes.

“It might not get back to 20 percent a year, but it should reach 10 percent,” he says. Such an uptick should enable organic dairy farmers to earn “reasonable annual incomes,” which Maltby places in the $40,000 to $50,000 range. “They’d be able to buy health insurance for their families and maybe even put a little bit aside for retirement,” he says.

Sustained equilibrium of supply and demand would make a

the world’s resources.” Reliance on chemical fertilizers “pollutes the world’s lakes and rivers, contributes massively to global warming and still produces no profits for farmers,” Maroney observes.

It’s just a matter of time until organic farming supplants conventional, Maroney says, although he demurs from specifying when that time might arrive.

Change on this scale doesn’t occur quickly, agrees NOFA’s Rogers.

“We’re inventing a whole new way not only of farming but of relating to the Earth — and to each other, for that matter,” he says.

The advent of a nonconventional era in agriculture will be hastened, Rogers suggests, by the environmental, animal welfare and localvore movements. “Each of these will continue and probably strengthen,” Rogers says. And with them will come a greater awareness that “consumers aren’t only buying a product; they’re expressing values.”

The future may arrive first in Vermont, Rogers adds, noting that the state has the highest proportion of organic dairy farms — 20 percent — in the nation. “We live in a very special place that gets it,” he says. m

in my opinion. The Senate Health and Welfare Committee, on which Senator Flanagan sits, has been having chloramine hearings for three years, and I have been to all but one of them. For three years the Vermont health department, the Department of Environmental Conservation, and the Champlain Water District have all testified over and over that chloramine is perfectly safe … In truth, it’s a very nasty chemical cocktail made of ammonia and chlorine that the Champlain Water District decided to put into my water three years ago, causing me and 314 other people to be sick — so far. I have always been extremely grateful that Sen. Flanagan never bought any of the prochloramine arguments. He is a rare one who listens to and hears the citizens.

Sen. Flanagan, if memory serves, has spoken two times in the three years of chloramine hearings. Both times his words were smart and wise.

The first time was during the first chloramine hearing, when Dr. Austin Sumner, a toxicologist employed by the Vermont health department, sat down in the testifier’s chair, folded his arms and waited to be questioned … Sen. Flanagan asked him a question that I will never forget. He said something like, “I know you have to come in here and say certain things — things that may come from your mind.”

And then he went on to ask, “But Dr. Sumner, I want to know what is in your heart.

Will you tell me what is in your heart?” As I recall, Dr. Sumner didn’t have an answer beyond sputtering.

The other time I recall Sen. Flanagan saying anything was in this year’s session. At this point there was a bill to put a moratorium on chloramine … The main thrust of the discussion consisted of legislators saying how troubling it is that there are no health studies showing that chronic exposure to chloramine levels typically used in drinking water can indeed cause the serious respiratory, digestive and skin reactions citizens are experiencing. How could they possibly impose a moratorium without the studies? Sen. Flanagan had no hesitation when he voted for a moratorium on chloramine.

To me he seems to have the common sense to understand that just because there are no studies on the health effects people are suffering doesn’t add up to a hill of beans, and if people are suffering since they were exposed and they get better when they stop exposure, it’s a no-brainer. Get it out of the water.

Sen. Flanagan did the right thing by the citizens that day.

He voted to bring citizens relief from three years of the ravages of chloramine. He has more common sense in his little finger than most people,

in my opinion. He will get my vote next time around, if he runs again for the Vermont Senate.

DANN’S ON THE RIGHT TRACK

Just wanting to give you an indication of your international circulation and say that “Quad Be Praised” [May 27] was delightful in flavorful tone and spirit and very meaningful, especially in light of the historical context past, present and future. I find it inspiring in the sense of powerful personal impact portrayed in peregrination, which is truly a very significant act of human will and sacred in the sense of placing one foot before the other on Mother Earth. I was left with a feeling that I very much needed to create an en-route encounter as through your words, I now sense I am part of the spiritual community supporting this event.

The feeling that Vermont is a friendly and accommodating place, very in touch with its history, certainly seems evident.

CLIQUE CULTURE? Your story about the Vermont Arts Council and criticism of its funding priorities [“Wise Council?” May 20] strikes me as a small group of previously privileged people not wanting to share.

Before the VAC board expanded its focus a clique of artists were funded. It was hard to get into that elite group, but once in, you were golden. What you read in that article were members of the clique wanting a return to the old days.

The big projects of “Palettes” and “Art Fits” are attempts to involve communities in art and vice versa. School arts programs are being cut as frills and government funding for the arts is declining.

Perhaps the board should consider only having big projects every three to five years. Big projects tend to run out steam and wear out their welcome after a while. But VAC could make community involvement a criterion of future funding of individual artists thus funding “serious” artists and building community connections with art at the same time. Just a suggestion.

Although emergency 911 operators were able to maintain continual contact with police and fire agencies throughout the outage due to redundancies built into the communications network, at one point South Burlington’s administrative offices were down to just two operable phone lines. A police spokesperson described the incident as “a significant inconvenience” to city operations.

switchover from Verizon’s Internet servers to those of FairPoint Communications left an as-yet-undetermined number of Vermont businesses and consumers without Internet or email access for up to several days last week, a FairPoint spokesperson confirmed Friday.

On June 1, the day Verizon cut over its so-called DNS servers to FairPoint’s, scores of FairPoint customers were left without Internet access — primarily small businesses and more sophisticated homeInternet users, such as online gamers who use static IP addresses.

The DNS, or domain name system, converts a domain name, such as google.com, into a numerical code so that the computer can find and communicate with other devices around the world, much the way a phone book translates a person’s name into an area code and telephone number. FairPoint customers with static IP addresses — meaning those who manually set their DNS information into their computers — would have been unable to access the Internet if their equipment settings hadn’t been changed beforehand to reflect FairPoint’s new settings. Although the cutover was a scheduled event, and FairPoint says it notified its customers via phone and email, many customers reported they never got the message.

“We were expecting that some of our customers might have a service interruption,” said FairPoint spokesperson Beth Fastiggi. “I suspect that any of them that did would have resolved those [problems] by now because they would have called the appropriate technical support number.”

Fastiggi couldn’t say how many customers lost service, or for how long; nor would she disclose how many static IP customers FairPoint has in Vermont, calling that “proprietary information.” (A spokesperson for the Vermont Department of Public Service estimated the number at about 5000.)

Fastiggi also downplayed the severity of the problem, noting that, except for a small bump in call volume to FairPoint’s technical support center on June 1, most of the week’s call volume appeared normal. “Any customer should be fixed right now, because, basically, it’s an easy fix,” she added.

But for some Burlington-area businesses, the fix was neither quick nor easy. Dave Rose is owner of Rose Computer Technology Services in South Burlington, a “managed service provider” that offers mostly small business IT services. According to Rose, a number of his clients began losing Internet service early last week and didn’t know why. While some of the problems could be fixed remotely or over the phone, others required more extensive troubleshooting. As late as Friday, Rose had to send a technician to a client’s business in St. Albans to correct the problem.

Rose wouldn’t disclose how many of his customers were affected overall, though he pointed out that none had been notified in advance by FairPoint.

to transition major numbers of customers from one DNS address to another, that should be a planned event that’s publicized,” Keve said.

“Notifications should go out. Instructions should be provided.

None of that happened.”

Caleidoscope filed a lawsuit against FairPoint earlier this year, claiming the company stole clients from Caleidoscope and engaged in deceptive and unfair trade practices; FairPoint denies the allegation.

The case is pending.

Apparently, neither FairPoint nor Verizon notified the state that the recent cutover was scheduled to occur. “We didn’t receive any heads-up that it was going to happen,” said Tamera Pariseau, coordinator of consumer affairs for the Vermont Department of Public Service. When, after receiving numerous consumer complaints last week, DPS finally contacted FairPoint, “Their response was, they were not really sure what was happening, either.”

Last week’s problems were unrelated to an outage that occurred Monday, when as many as 12,000 Vermont FairPoint customers lost internet and email service for most of the day due to a router failure.

Also on Monday, the South Burl-

“I would hate to say it’s just a bad week, because it’s just one thing after another,” Pariseau added. “They really have some challenges that seem very difficult for them to overcome.”

This week’s technical glitches are just the latest in a series of aggravations FairPoint customers have endured over the last year since the Charlotte, North Carolina-based company took over the landlines and Internet network from Verizon throughout Vermont, Maine and New Hampshire. The most serious of those problems occurred on September 3, when customers in northern Vermont were unable to access the emergency 911 system for approximately 90 minutes.

MUSIC & ART

A Multisensory Improv Session Comes to the Wood Gallery

BY PAMELA POLSTON

M

ichael Arnowitt’s eyesight is failing, but that doesn’t make him any less visionary. In addition to composing and performing solo piano music, the Montpelier resident has collaborated with poets and presented an evening that mingled music with fine food from a local caterer. This Friday, he and four Vermont artists — Maggie Neale, Janet Van Fleet, Cully Renwick and Missy Storrow — will all “improv” together at the T.W. Wood Gallery.

That is, Arnowitt will improvise music, the women will improvise art, and they’ll probably play off one another. Before a live audience.

“I’ve always been into combining music and other senses,” Arnowitt says. In this case, it’s “a rare chance to see a painting being made from start to finish, and to watch how the music improv affects the content and style of the paintings” and vice versa, he writes in a press release.

“I’m going to play a number of pieces of different lengths and concepts; some are what a musician would call completely improv,” the pianist explains in a phone interview. “But we are going to pick a few concepts, such as migration, or January thaw — we’ve discussed a few [in rehearsals].” Nothing, however, is utterly preordained.

Though Arnowitt’s vision is hazy — he has a degenerative eye condition called retinitis pigmentosa — he says he anticipates being influenced by the artists’ colors, which have their parallels in music. Van Fleet will bring some of the images closer to him by using an overhead projector, he adds. Also, Arnowitt notes, “Painters actually make sound — tapping, brushing.” These rhythms, which might go unnoticed by viewers focusing on the visuals, make for another potential influence on the arc of his compositions.

Does Arnowitt find himself becoming more attuned to his other senses as one of them diminishes? “That’s very controversial in the disability world,” he replies thoughtfully.

While some believe the phenomenon is “a myth,” Arnowitt says, “I think there’s something to it.” But whether he hears more acutely now or is simply able to pay better attention, “It’s impacted me most in listening to other people playing music,” he says. “It’s strange being in a room with someone for two hours, hearing them, and not being able to really see them.”

Arnowitt hopes his visual disability “will make my piano playing better in the long run,” he says. “Meanwhile, while I still have some sight, I’ll do things like this collaboration.”

Maggie Neale, who will be working in acrylic, says she’s never done anything like this public “performance” before. Few visual artists have. But she’s not nervous about it, she says, because “once I’m in a painting, I just get lost in what I’m doing.” She adds that Arnowitt’s music is “very inspiring” and “a joy” to listen to. “If I could paint to the quality of his music,” Neale says, “I would be just thrilled.”

The audience will be able to ask questions of Arnowitt and the artists after the performance, Neale notes. And what will be the fate of the artworks? “We talked a little about that, but … good question!” Neale says. “Missy said some people might want to buy them right there, but some of the works might not be ‘take-home-able.’” That is, not finished pieces. Or dry. Either way, the evening is likely to be more about the creative journey than the destination.

The Fleming Pairs Art and History in an “Elemental” Quad Show

BY KEVIN J. KELLEY

“A Beckoning Country: Art and Objects from the Lake Champlain Valley,” Fleming Museum, UVM, Burlington.

Through September 20. Info, 656-0750. www. fleming museum .org

he Fleming Museum has the answer for quadricentennial celebrants seeking something more culturally apropos than, say, a Tony Bennett concert.

Curator Aimee Marcereau DeGalan and Manager of Collections and Exhibitions Margaret Tamulonis have organized a multigenre show that examines the natural and human histories of the Champlain Valley through art and artifacts produced by its inhabitants. Paintings, photos, maps, books, tools, toys and furniture tell a story that begins centuries before Samuel de Champlain sailed the lake in 1609.

But this narrative doesn’t unfold chronologically. Instead, the 100-plus pieces are loosely grouped in accordance with four natural elements — earth, water, flora, fauna — that were used either as raw materials or as sources of inspiration.

“A Beckoning Country” begins with Abenaki tools and vessels fabricated a thousand years ago. Alongside them in this “earth” section hang paintings whose subjects relate to Vermont’s geology or landscape. Noteworthy examples include a granite quarry scene by University of Vermont art professor Francis Colburn (1909-1984) and a panorama from the top of Mount Mansfield by contemporary Vermont artist Kathleen Kolb. Her work is paired with a painting that inspired it: a mid-19th-century Champlain Valley vista

by Hudson River School artist Sanford Gifford.

Several other intriguing juxtapositions are made possible by the show’s unconventional layout. The “water” section, for example, includes a pair of tiger-maple ice skates made in 1804, as well as a 15-foot-long Abenaki canoe carved from white pine about 50 years before Champlain’s

Some of the show’s correspondences seem arbitrary or strained. Thomas Curtin’s luminous painting of horses pulling a sled through a Cambridge sugarbush is placed near a Lewis Hine photo of child laborers in a Burling-

MAGGIE NEALE’S “ISADORA” SCARVES

Fans of Maggie Neale’s finished works will find plenty on display both across town and one town over.

For the run of Lost Nation Theater’s Love, Isadora, her extra-long handpainted scarves hang draped and pinned on the curtain in the City Hall lobby. “It’s kind of like [Isadora Duncan’s] dressing room,” Neale suggests. The real-life dancer’s death by strangling was caused by, um, a long scarf caught in a sports-car tire. “Some of them are 22 by 90 inches,” Neale says. “I called them ‘Isadora’ scarves two years ago when I started doing that length.” The onewoman play ends this Sunday.

At the Blinking Light Gallery in Plainfield, Neale has a month-long exhibit of painted silk and works on canvas, titled “Color Musings.” Also a watercolorist and weaver, the Montpelier artist has long been enamored of the way pigments react with fibers. “The flow of dye through silk is intoxicating,” she says in her artist’s statement for the show. “The colors are rich and seem to continue their movement through drying.” Her abstract paintings on canvas are similarly inspired by “the chemistry and strata of the earth; one small movement can produce a major chain reaction of movements.”

And you thought watching paint dry was no fun.  “Simultaneous Improvisations: Music and Painting” takes place this Friday, June 12, at the T.W. Wood Gallery in Montpelier, 8 p.m. Suggested donation $10. Info, 229-0984.

Love, Isadora continues through Sunday, June 14: Thursday, 7 p.m.; Friday & Saturday, 8 p.m.; Sunday, 2 p.m. $20-25. www.lostnationtheater.org “Color Musings” by Maggie Neale. Through June 28 at the Blinking Light Gallery, Plainfield. Info, 4540141. www.blinkinglightgallery.com

ton lumber yard solely because each has something to do with that room’s “flora” theme.

It’s also not clear why the curators chose as the show’s title the slogan used for a 1960s Vermont tourism promo campaign.

Could it have something to do with the show’s “participatory” aspect? Vermonters are being solicited to submit Twitter-esque blurbs — 100 words, max — describing objects of personal importance that reflect their feelings about Lake Champlain.

Some of these will be incorporated into the show starting next month.

While the overall presentation casts a new light on many of the exhibit’s components, only those viewers unversed in Vermont history will find surprises. The text panels make mostly familiar points about the works on display. However, some details may be enlightening even to localhistory buffs. We’re informed, for example, that a building seen in a Curtin painting of the icy Lamoille River was once a boarding house for lumberjacks and is now part of the Vermont Studio Center.

There are a couple of oddities, too. A Dutch/French map from the 17th century situates Lake Champlain to the east of the Connecticut River. And someone stitched a Champ sock puppet in 1959 to mark the 350th anniversary of the French explorer’s lake voyage.

In a show nearly devoid of political content, three photos by Hine stand out for their social significance. The crusading New York photojournalist came to Vermont to document child labor in the lumberyards and woolen mills as part of a campaign to reform work conditions. Hine’s poignant images did help persuade Congress to limit the work week for women and children to a maximum of 58 hours. But the photos aren’t grouped together and are given no prominent treatment. “A Beckoning Country” thereby misses out on the opportunity to celebrate another anniversary: Lewis Hine took those influential pictures in Burlington and Winooski exactly 100 years ago. 

Timothy Grannis and Friends Open a New Studio

BY PAMELA POLSTON

PHOTO: JOR DAN SILVERM AN

ood news for jewelry lovers who miss Burlington’s late, great Grannis Gallery: Goldsmith Timothy Grannis is setting up shop in the South End — on the corner of Howard and Pine, to be exact. The new studio, called Alchemy Jewelry Arts Collective, also houses Connie Coleman, Marie-Josée Lamarche and Jane Frank, and opens to the public with a reception this Friday.

The 2000-square-foot space — former home of Limited Edition Woodworks, which moved in with Sterling Hardwoods around the corner — features a display area in front and a capacious workroom in back.

There Grannis will focus on sculptural pieces as well as jewelry. His wife Susan Hurd gets a room of her own, too; a corner office she plans to use for writing autobiographical fiction. “I am really excited about it,” says Hurd, who also reveals she’s playing “wild guitar” in an “old-timey and eclectic” local band called Lucky Penny.

The new hive of creativity is clearly energizing the couple, released from the rigors of retail after 10 years in their Bank Street shop. In the new studio, Hurd says, “Timothy wants to make the stuff that comes out of his heart and soul” rather than focusing on producing for the market. Not that his and the other artists’ works won’t be for sale; after this weekend, the showroom will be open by appointment and on special occasions. “We’ll carry these four jewelers and probably periodically do shows with other designers,” Hurd notes.

Late last week, the new studio was far from presentable. Sawdust tracks covered the carpet, and the back room was piled with yet-to-be-organized pieces of metal and tools of the trade. An initial new paint job had dissatisfied; Hurd and Grannis were starting from scratch with new colors. But a spiff y green awning outside suggested the spot was already transformed, and by this Friday, it will be. Let the alchemy begin.

Vermont Artist Turns “Material” Girl

BY LAUREN OBER

I

t’s not uncommon for painters, sculptors and designers of all kinds to supplement their incomes by producing housewares, clothing lines or sundry tchotchkes for a mass market.

Michael Graves did it designing toasters for Black & Decker. Isaac Mizrahi did it creating fashions for Target. Keith Haring did it selling all kinds of merchandise bearing his iconic images. So Abby Manock, a visual artist who splits her time between New York City and Vermont, is in good company.

Recently, Manock, 32, launched a line of organic cotton fabric under the name abbyabby.

Though her simple, graphic line drawings on a solid-color background may suggest “outsider” art, Manock holds an MFA from Columbia University.

Based in New York for her work as a multimedia installation artist, the Vermonter feels strongly about setting up shop in her home state.

“I really want this to be a Vermont company,” Manock says. “I don’t want it to seem like I’m some poseur.”

Still, her return home to establish her business was a bit of a happy accident. Manock had sublet her New York apartment for the summer to create a sculptural piece for the Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival in Tennessee, which would require her to travel for a good part of the season.

But the Bonnaroo gig fell through and her apartment was already rented, so Manock came home to Burlington to craft her fabric. It worked out for the best, because she’s been able to tap the skills of local folks to help her create abbyabby. These included her father, architect Jerry Manock, who designed her fabric-cutting table.

The fabric is sustainably sourced and is printed in Washington state. It can be used for whatever

ABBY MANOCK

people want, Manock says — bags, curtains, pillowcases. If the fabric enterprise is successful, Manock sees some abbyabby housewares in the future.

Ask Manock about her motivation for creating these first five prints — featuring acorns, trucks, bottles or cupcakes — and you’re likely to get a circuitous answer. But she admits there’s a bit of vanity involved. “I always sort of thought I would like to have fabric with my drawings on them,” she says.

Manock came up with the first designs after she tried to draw a truck from memory and couldn’t get the proportions right. She spent weeks drawing trucks, over and over, until she could reproduce one on paper without having to look at a truck in real life. As she filled notebooks with her drawings, she was struck by the aesthetics of the repetition.

“I thought, Oh, that would be a cool fabric,” she says.

The designs, which can be seen on Manock’s website, have struck a chord with friends and fans of her work. The bold, minimalist patterns are unlike anything else you’re likely to find on fabric. “They just go well with stuff,” Manock says. “They just sort of fit in and enhance what’s already there.”  Abby Manock’s fabrics can be found at www. abbyabby.com.

The former teacher served seven years in prison for having sex with a sixth-grader when she was a 34-year-old married mother of four. Now 47, she married the victim, Vili Fualaau, now 26, and

in Volusia County, Fla., charged Joseph Frank Strauch, 82, with beating his live-in girlfriend and strangling her unconscious after he got angry about the way she loaded dirty dishes in the dishwasher. The Daytona Beach News-Journal reported that Strauch previously pleaded no contest to punching a 68-year-old man after Strauch took the man’s grocery bag and the man objected.

• Police charged Ryan D. Isabell, 22, with felony assault after a fight broke out during a conversation about the Ultimate Fighting Championship. “Apparently the suspect was talking about UFC fighting when some woman that he didn’t know jumped into the conversation,” Phoenix, N.Y., police Chief Rod Carr told the Syracuse Post-Standard. Carr said the woman’s 42-year-old husband intervened and wound up with a fractured nose. A 43-year-old man suffered a fractured skull.

• Federal authorities dropped their case against retired Air Force Maj. Reinaldo Canton, 45, even though he had agreed to a plea bargain to settle charges that he arranged over the Internet to meet a 15-year-old girl for sex. Canton’s attorney was granted a dismissal after citing his client’s heart condition and arguing that the stress of the case could kill him. The Salt Lake Tribune reported that Canton denied intending to have sex with the girl, who was actually an adult undercover agent, but insisted he planned to ask her why she was sneaking

56-year-old woman was run over by her own car in Santa Monica, Calif., after she crawled underneath it and started it by touching the starter solenoid with a screwdriver. The Daily Press reported that an investigation revealed the 1995 Buick Regal rolled over the driver and dragged her several feet because she had left the car in gear with the emergency brake off.

Bathroom Break A small airplane crashed when its engine failed shortly after takeoff from an airfield outside

Tacoma, Wash., but pilot Clifford Howell, 67, walked away unhurt because a storage yard full of portable toilets cushioned the landing. The Cessna 182 came to rest upside down after bouncing off the toilets onto a pile of wood chips.

“If he had made the runway, he would have landed a lot harder than he did by impacting with those Sani-Cans and the wood pile,” Pierce County sheriff’s Sgt. Mike Blair told Seattle’s KOMO News.

“It probably saved his life.”

President Dick Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez became the first national leader still in office to promote a cellphone, taking time during his weekly television show, “Alo Presidente,” to introduce the new “Vergatorio” model.

Britain’s Telegraph newspaper reported the name derives from Venezuelan slang for “penis.” Chavez assumed the role of pitchman after he nationalized the phone’s manufacturer and announced that he wanted to make a phone for all the people, “not the elites.” Boasting that the new phone “will be the biggest seller not only in Venezuela but the world,” Chavez declared that “whoever doesn’t have a Vergatorio is nothing.”

Changes in Latitudes (Buffett Tribute Band)

Five Balloon Ascensions

Some people made money the old-fashioned way during the crash — i.e., by stealing it. After the initial crisis on Black Thursday, a group of high-powered bankers tried to stabilize the market by using a $130 million pool of funds to buy stocks, sometimes at prices above market value. A member of the group, Albert H. Wiggin, head of Chase National Bank, began short selling his own portfolio at the same time he was committing his bank’s money to buying. He shorted more than 42,000 shares, making more than $4 million. Because he used a Canadian shell company to buy the stocks, he didn’t even pay taxes on his gains. Though forced to resign in disgrace, Wiggin otherwise went unpunished and got to keep the money, the jerk.

Charles Edwin Mitchell stole less than Wiggin but is remembered as one of the villains of 1929 because he not only took care of himself, he managed to impoverish everybody else. Not long before the crash he orchestrated a high-pressure campaign to sell $650 million of stock in his National City Bank at an average price of more than $340 per share. By 1933 the stock would be selling for less than a tenth that amount. He then sold 18,300 shares of stock to his wife and later bought it back for a tax loss of nearly $3 million, which meant he paid no income taxes for 1929 despite substantial earnings. Questioned about these transactions by a Senate committee, Mitchell admitted the scam and was charged with tax evasion in 1933. He was acquitted of the criminal counts by a jury, but the government won a civil judgment of more than $1 million in back taxes.

A few people profited in the runup to the crash because they kept their greed in check. Speculators Bernard Baruch and John Raskob got out of the market in early 1929, sensing trouble ahead. His fortune intact, Baruch remained a respected figure and advisor to presidents till the end of his long life. Raskob later suffered heavy losses when Anaconda Copper shares tanked but remained wealthy enough to develop the Empire State Building, suggesting the truth of the trader’s maxim: There’s a place for bulls and bears but not pigs.

Can’t complain, but smart didn’t have much to do with it. Forget to invest in your retirement account: If you don’t bet, you can’t lose. You can’t beat a system like that.

Tales of people making out like bandits just before or during the 1929 stock market crash are relatively rare, possibly because the fortunate few kept it to themselves given the mood of the times. But we can be certain some did well — a panic sale for one guy often means an easy profit for somebody else. Years ago I told how Joseph Kennedy, father of John F. et al., made his fortune in part by liquidating stocks right before the crash. Joe wasn’t the only operator out there. Here are the stories of a few more: The classic way to profit in a declining market is via a short sale — selling stock you’ve borrowed (e.g., from a broker) in hopes the price will drop, enabling you to buy cheaper shares to pay off the loan. One famous character who made money this way in the 1929 crash was speculator Jesse Lauriston Livermore. Starting humbly as a chalkboard boy at Paine Webber, he began looking for patterns in the market and making imaginary bets that earned him fortunes in his diary. By age 16 he was playing with real money as a successful stock trader. Sometimes he was lucky — he made a bundle selling short right before the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, which one assumes he hadn’t foreseen. Other times he just played his cards right. In 1907 he sold short during a market crash and cleared more than $1 million.

Livermore made his share of mistakes, often losing big in the commodities markets and going bankrupt at least once. But he kept roaring back. He made a few million betting the right way in the World War I bull market of 1916 and claimed he’d made $3 million in 1925 shorting wheat. That was just a warm-up for the real fun during the 1929 crash, when he sold short and made more than $100 million — serious money even now and a monster jackpot then.

If he’d been smart he would have quit right there and lived a life of ease. Uh-uh. He contrived to once again lose most of his money and in 1933 married noted “black widow” Harriet Metz Noble, whose four previous husbands had all committed suicide. Just after Thanksgiving 1940 Livermore joined the club by shooting himself in the head.

Dear Cecil, I recently discovered your site/column, and after spending days and nights reading, I’m convinced you are indeed the world’s smartest person and so best qualified to answer my question: Who made money during the 1929 stock market crash? I know being so smart, you’re probably laughing all the way to the bank during this one.

saving Loads: money- and earth-saving tips for Laundry Day

I

t was a bit surreal to see lawmakers, enviros and national “right to dry” activists gathered on the Statehouse lawn last week hailing the passage of a new law that assures Vermonters the right to hang their wet laundry out to dry. Granted, encouraging people to line-dry their linens is a laudable goal — after all, the average gas- or electricity-powered clothes dryer represents the big toe of each American’s carbon footprint. It accounts for as much as 15 percent of domestic energy bills.

Still, one can only imagine what our Depression-era forebears would say about the need to legislatively protect clotheslines and drying racks. It’s akin to the federal government running public service announcements urging children to go outside and play for at least an hour a day. (Oh, right. We do that, too.)

Turns out your grandmother knew best after all: Simple is cheaper, smarter and safer. So, in honor of this week’s Fashion Issue, here are a few “old-fashioned” laundry tips that are kind to the wallet as well as the earth.

The first one comes from my wife’s Grandma Teresa. Instead of using storebought fabric softener, add between 1/4 and 1/2 cup of vinegar to the rinse cycle in your washing machine. Not only does vinegar soften clothes naturally, it also breaks down the laundry detergent faster to get the clothes cleaner. Plus, vinegar has a hypoallergenic effect for people who have skin allergies caused by laundry detergents.

And, ounce for ounce, it’s cheaper.

Freaked out by the idea of your laundry, and you, smelling like Italian dressing?

Not to worry. The vinegar smell dissipates once the clothes dry, especially if you hang them outside on the line. A word of caution, however: Whether you’re using it in the laundry, washing windows or wiping kitchen counters, always clean with basic white vinegar, which is typically sold by the half gallon. Not only are red, balsamic or gourmet vinegars more expensive, they can also leave behind a sticky — and stinky — residue.

Another laundry staple worth keeping beside the washing machine: borax.

Usually sold under the brand name “20 Mule Team Borax,” this white stuff can be used for everything from whitening whites to getting the funk out of moldy towels. It’s cheap, nontoxic and safe for washers, plumbing pipes and septic tanks. Plus, it contains no chlorine or phosphates, so it’s friendly to Lake Champlain. Use it to pretreat stains, or add a quarter cup to your laundry instead of bleach. It’ll reduce the amount of detergent you use per load, too.

Apparently, borax can also be used for making your own laundry detergent at home. I’ve never tried this one personally, though I found recipes in a few yellowed home-remedy books I came across

recently in a used bookstore. You can also find recipes online. One common concoction calls for combining 1/2 cup of borax, 1/2 cup of washing soda and 1 cup of grated Fels-Naptha soap. As little as 2 tablespoons of this cheap mixture is enough to clean one heavy load of laundry.

If you’re bummed about missing out on those comforting and colorfully named scents in your store-bought laundry brands — “summer pine,” “desert bloom,” “ocean mist” — add a few drops of essential oils to get that Biz, Bold or Fab-ulous fresh fragrance.

Here’s another ultra-basic laundry staple: salt. That’s right, the Morton girl isn’t just helpful on eggs and margarita glasses. She can also be put to work removing stains and restoring yellowed or faded fabrics. One recipe, from Howstuffworks. com, calls for boiling yellowed cotton or linen fabrics in a mixture of water, 1 tablespoon of salt and 1/4 cup of baking soda. Soak the fabric for one hour. (Not recommended for dry-clean-only items.)

Adding 1/2 cup of salt to your wash will also prevent new colored fabrics from bleeding or fading.

If you’re still using the clothes dryer, here’s a money- and energy-saving tip from the archives of Good Housekeeping: Throw a dry towel in your dryer before adding your wet laundry. The dry towel will soak up the moisture, and dry itself in the process, drying the entire load more efficiently.

The website Helium.com takes that idea one step further. It recommends soaking the towel in a bowl of liquid fabric softener first. Wring out the excess, then let it dry. Then, toss the towel into the dryer instead of a dryer sheet. Reportedly, this trick can be used for as many as two dozen loads.

Of course, there are a few obvious penny savers, both for at-home or Laundromat washing: Don’t run a washing machine until you have a full load, and then use cold water only. Also, clean the lint trap on the dryer after each load to help it run more efficiently. Running one load right after the other will keep the dryer hot, using less energy for the next load. Finally, if you do buy dryer sheets, cut them in half, or else use them more than once. FYI, those sheets are also great for dusting and cleaning TV screens and computer monitors. m

Dress Code Fashion suits Clarence Davis — Burlington’s best-dressed dude Story: Lauren Ober

C

larence Davis stands in front of his closet, as he does every night, and gazes at its hanging contents. He has to plan out his outfit for the following day before he goes to bed.

Taking into account he’s traveling to Hardwick and will be traipsing outside in the rain, Davis foregoes his usual suit and tie in favor of more casual apparel. He chooses a pair of dark blue jeans and pairs them with a brown-and-white windowpane check shirt and a light gray V-neck sweater.

Davis then selects a chocolate moleskin jacket to top the ensemble. Last, the footwear.

Most of the shoes in his sizeable collection are not meant to be worn in inclement weather, so he goes with a pair of tawny leather boots with lugged soles. You might call them “gentlemen’s hikers.”

Davis’ wife, Sandy Bermanzohn, is familiar with her husband’s routine. She shakes her

Images: Andy Duback

and a badger-bristle shaving brush, so the skin on his face is as smooth and unblemished as ebony. When approached about being profiled as Burlington’s most fashionable man, Davis can’t hide his excitement. A smile spreads across his face and his eyes light up. He is the rare man who is genuinely interested in talking about clothes.

The Uniform To understand Davis’ love of fashion and why he is so well turned out every day, you have to know something of his family history, his 12 years of Catholic education and his service in the military. Each of those has contributed to what he wears.

Born to Antiguan parents, Davis spent much of his childhood in the Bronx. His father, also named Clarence, worked on Wall Street and was “always dressed to the nines,”

I’ve seen guys wear white socks with a suit.

How does one arrive at that place?

Clarence Davis head and rolls her eyes as she finishes the stirfry she’s making for dinner. In the years they’ve been together, Bermanzohn has come to accept that her husband is an unabashed style maven.

You could say that Davis, 37, is the bestdressed man in Burlington.

Davis cares about clothes the way other men care about box scores. But he’s quick to point out there’s more to him than double Windsor knots and cordovan loafers: He’s a Progressive member of the Burlington City Council, representing Ward 3, and the director of state relations at the University of Vermont.

In his free time, Davis sits on a number of nonprofit boards, practices Aikido, and is an avid motorcyclist.

But his sense of style and refinement might be noticed before his other attributes. He’s an anomaly in Burlington not because, as he jokes, he’s “an articulate black man,” but because he disapproves of down parkas as overcoats, thinks fleece vests should be reserved for camping trips, and has no compunction about wearing ridiculous overshoes to protect his fancy brogues.

Davis cuts an imposing figure — he’s tall and lean, like a college wide receiver. His bald head is supple from the almond oil he applies to it every day. He uses real shaving cream

Davis says. “I’ve always known him to wear a suit.”

In addition to his father’s influence, Davis’ two stylish sisters inspired him, as did his mother, whom Davis calls “a bit of a fashion queen.” This is not a family that wears sweatpants on airplanes or jeans to the theater.

Davis figures his love of classic menswear could also be chalked up to genes — nature as much as nurture. His paternal grandfather owned the first general store in Antigua and went to work every day in a jacket and tie, despite the island’s often-sweltering heat.

Davis’ maternal grandfather also knew his way around hound’s-tooth check and Prince of Wales plaid. A lifelong tailor, he outfitted many Antiguan men in the latest styles.

It wasn’t just his family that helped build Davis’ bespoke bona fides. During most of elementary and middle school, he wore a uniform with a shirt, tie and plaid blazer. At high school in Westchester, N.Y., he wore nearly the same thing, minus the blazer.

“It didn’t bother me to wear a uniform to school,” Davis says. “The fact that I was comfortable wearing it made it better.”

After high school he entered the army, and found the transition to military fatigues an easy one. He’d been wearing a uniform of one

kind or another for the majority of his life; he felt comfortable in predictable clothing.

Post-army, Davis earned his B.A. at Norwich University, where he continued his formal fashion approach. Davis seems as relaxed being “dressed up” as many men feel in mesh shorts and tank tops.

The Rules Davis lives by a certain sartorial code, which sets him apart from the average heterosexual male in Vermont.

The essentials of his style rules include: 1. Shoes and belt must match.

2. Shoes should always be well polished.

3. Dress shirts should be shades of white and blue, with the occasional pink thrown in.

4. Outerwear should befit the clothing underneath.

5. Socks must be the same shade as the rest of the outfit.

Now Open! …where it’s cheap to be chic.

5/18/09 3:40:36 PM

On the socks point, Davis is particularly emphatic. “I’ve seen guys wear white socks with a suit,” he laments.

“How does one arrive at that place?”

In addition to his fashion do’s, Davis also has a list of fashion don’ts: 1. Never wear a belt and suspenders together.

2. Never wear hiking boots with a suit.

3. Never wear a dark dress shirt with a suit and tie.

4. Never wear a novelty tie or novelty socks.

5. Never wear a half-Windsor knotted tie with a spread-collar shirt.

The last no-no is a more recent addition stemming from an actual fashion faux pas Davis witnessed: “I saw a guy wearing a spread-collar shirt with a half-Windsor knot who was somewhat jowly, and the tie looked like it was strangling him.”

Davis fully admits he’s opinionated when it comes to clothes. He has an idea of how men should dress and, more often than not, they fall short of his expectations, especially in Vermont. Davis just shakes his head at men who pair their collared shirts with a fleece vest, or wear Crocs with their suit trousers.

But fashion isn’t about showing off or being stylistically superior to his male brethren. For Davis, it’s about personal expression.

Joe Speidel has known Davis for years and works in the same office with him at UVM. Speidel, who also has a love of haberdashery, sees his friend as a throwback to a bygone time when a crisp shirt and polished shoes meant something.

“When you think about how men used to dress, they took care of themselves,” Speidel says. “Even outside of his job, Clarence has always taken great care of himself.”

It’s the little things that make Davis’ style stand out, he suggests. Whether it’s skull-and-crossbones cufflinks or a dapper silk pocket square, the attention to detail make Davis’ outfits pop. “He expresses his personality very well through his clothes,” Speidel says.

Davis’ tailor, Csaba Rigo of Rigo Bros. Tailors in Burlington, says when it comes to style, Davis is peerless in Burlington. “He’s more well-dressed than most people in Vermont,” Rigo says. “He wants everything perfect.”

The Closet Opening Davis’ closet in his modest apartment is like entering a foreign land with its own language and customs.

All his suits, shirts and casual trousers are arranged by color and occasion: dress shirts in the middle, bracketed by going-out shirts on one side and sport coats on the other. Trousers hang on a rack below, organized from light khaki to dark charcoal. >> 26A

Everything is arranged just so.

Davis’ hats are stacked in neat towers off to the side; the shoes sit side by side in prim rows. All of the shoes are fit with shoetrees, those relics from a time when men kept their Oxfords and their Derbies for decades.

Davis’ silk ties hang on the back of the closet in color order.

Surprisingly, there are only about 20 of them. He recently downsized his collection.

You can’t help wondering, when peering in this exemplar of order, where Davis’ wife’s clothes are.

This is a sore point for the pair.

To the far right of Davis’ casual tattersall shirts, a few small dresses hang sadly against the wall. Most of Bermanzohn’s clothes occupy a few shelves in a tiny room off the couple’s bedroom.

Davis justifies this inequity, saying he has to wear suits and ties to work and she doesn’t have to look so “dressed up” for her job at the HowardCenter. This elicits an eye roll and a snort, but Bermanzohn actually loves her husband’s passion for clothing.

“He enjoys shopping. We’ll go to Montréal and he’ll want to buy hats and shirts, and that’s fun,” Bermanzohn says. “I like that he can dress up and go out for an evening.”

Davis admittedly has a weakness for shopping, particularly if he gets a good deal. He doesn’t spend a lot on his clothes, he says, but he does like to shop.

He’ll hit the chain stores for basics, but Montréal and New York are his favorite places to pick up essentials such as dress shirts, and accessories such as fedoras and flat caps.

All this frippery and dandyism might suggest that Davis is a person of little depth. But he’s equally conversant about citybudget issues and low-income housing concerns as he is about French cuffs and cashmere sweaters. And get him talking about the latest science-fiction novels he’s devoured and he’ll never stop.

Fashion is one of Davis’ great loves, not only because of his deep appreciation of the craft of tailoring, but because being dressed well just feels good. He likes the tightness of a tie around his neck, the snugness of a suit jacket under his arms and the sonorous click of his heels on the pavement.

Wearing nice clothing suits him.

“He feels more comfortable in a jacket and tie,” Speidel says. “Of course, it doesn’t hurt that he’s tall and thin and good-looking, either.” 

FIT TO A T Tailoring, like many artisan trades such as watchmaking and cordwaining, is in danger of going the way of the dodo. But for Clarence Davis, his tailor is essential. “Every man should have a good bloody tailor,” he says.

Davis’ tailor of choice is Csaba Rigo, of Rigo Bros. Tailors on Church Street in Burlington. He found Rigo by accident many years ago, when he needed to get a suit tailored quickly for a wedding. It was the beginning of a good working relationship between the two.

Since Davis and his wife, Sandy Bermanzohn, both had grandfathers who were tailors, Davis recognizes the skill involved in getting a garment to fit a body. “It’s really a craft,” he says. “It’s not just some guy in his garage saying, ‘I’ll fix your pants for you.’”

Rigo immigrated to the United States from communist Hungary in 1969 with his family, and graduated from Burlington High School the same year. After that he joined the navy, did a tour in Vietnam and returned to Vermont, where he worked as a chef.

Rigo liked cooking well enough, but he harbored dreams of being a tailor. He made his first garment at the age of 5 — a pair of Hawaiian shorts fashioned from his mother’s old curtains.

Both his parents were tailors, and Rigo believes the vocation is in his blood.

He loves making clothing, especially for clients like Davis who know what they want. Davis is exacting and cares more about the way his clothes fit than do most men, Rigo says.

Three essentials go into being a well-dressed man, Davis believes. Men must know their suit size, buy a suit that fits, and have a relationship with a tailor.

The tailor should know that shirts and suit jackets should fit snug around the armpits, not sag down the body of the garment. That tailor should also know that the jacket sleeves should fall half an inch above the bottom of the shirt cuff, and that trousers should have just one break in the lie above the shoe.

Rigo knows all of this. He also knows Davis’ physical asymmetry — his right arm is slightly longer than his left. This needs to be taken into account when tailoring.

Rigo finds his clients’ quirks by taking the time to examine how each garment fits them. And by making sure to look at the front and back of each article of clothing to ensure that it’s even.

“I can tell if one shoulder is higher or one hip is higher,” he says. “Most people have one arm or leg that’s longer than the other and you have to pay attention to that.”

Luckily for his friends, Davis doesn’t keep Rigo all to himself.

He’s recommended the tailor to a number of male friends, including Joe Speidel, who works with Davis at the University of Vermont.

Davis is also a fan of bespoke suiting and dreams of having a closet full of suits from Harry Rosen Gentleman’s Apparel in Montréal. But he’ll have to wait a while for that. A madeto-measure Harry Rosen suit runs about $1000 minimum. A bespoke suit starts at $4500.

“But you’ll have a garment that will last your whole life,” Davis says.

Island Stylin’

Sweet, Sweet Jamaica rasta roots, 325 main Street, Winooski, 338-9090.

ot a head full of dreads but don’t want to flash them? Is your Bob Marley T-shirt collection looking a little anemic? Need to find a way to mask the smell of herb superb coming from your bedroom? Then look no further than Sweet Sweet Jamaica Rasta Roots, Winooski’s first, and only, Caribbean culture retail store. Yes, you read correctly — it’s in Winooski.

Since the Onion City is the place for recent immigrants, refugees and young professionals priced out of the Burlington housing market, it makes sense that a shop selling various and sundry trinkets from the islands would find a home there.

Sweet Sweet Jamaica briefly set up shop in the Burlington Town Center before making a move to Main Street two months ago. Owner Leroy Headley, a native of Negril, Jamaica, opened it with the intention of bringing a little bit of Jamaican flavor to Canada Minor.

Sweet Sweet Jamaica sells just about every kind of Bob Marley accoutrement a devout reggaehead needs.

6/8/09 11:40:04 AM

Headley has been in the U.S. for eight years.

He moved to Vermont five years ago because the rural environment reminded him of his home. “I wanted to be somewhere quiet,” he says.

Before opening Sweet Sweet Jamaica, named for the countless songs praising that sweet, sweet island nation, Headley ran a cab company in Burlington. But rather than ferrying passengers from point A to point B, his real passion is bringing his culture to a state that could not be more different than his Caribbean home.

The shop is at the end of a retail block that also houses a flower shop, a Halal market, a mobile-home supply store and a real estate office. Were it not for the gold saltire of the fluttering Jamaican flag out front, you could easily miss it.

Walking into Sweet Sweet Jamaica, one is greeted by the off-beat tones of Buju Banton, Burning Spear or any number of musical Marley children. Everything is green, red, yellow or black except the bubbling fish tank.

2x5.5-CCTV061009.indd 1

For reasons not completely clear to Headley, reggae and Rasta culture seems to strike a chord with the college set here. For evidence that the island vibe has solidly taken root in Vermont, one needs look no further than the preponderance of white kids with dreadlocks, hemp pants and a glass pipe stashed in the pocket.

If you’re one of those heady, dready kids but don’t already have a glass pipe, Headley can help you out. His modest collection of “smoking accessories” is the main reason people come to his shop, he says. But they also come for the dozen different types of doo-rags, the impressive collection of flip-flops and other Jamaica-ania.

6/8/09 11:08:20 AM

Sweet Sweet Jamaica sells just about every kind of Bob Marley accoutrement a devout reggaehead needs — Bob Marley incense, Bob Marley lanyards, Bob Marley belt buckles, Bob Marley change purses and Bob Marley onesies for your wee Rastas. If you’re feeling like you need another Marley T-shirt in your collection, Sweet Sweet Jamaica can outfit you in a different design for every day of the month.

Headley also carries a substantial inventory of clothing featuring the likeness of Haile Selassie I, the former emperor of Ethiopia who is considered by Rastafarians to be the incarnation of God, or Jah. Even if you’re not lacking in island wear, Sweet Sweet Jamaica is worth a visit, if only for the cultural exploration or to recharge your irie. And, of course, to replenish your Bob Marley rolling papers, mon. m

How to shop — and look — smart in a down time

ANNIVERSARY

2x2-pjc060309.indd 1

ast Saturday a subtle, slightly subversive style campaign began on Burlington’s Church Street. Young women modeling outfits from half a dozen local boutiques paraded into several abetting restaurants, struck a few poses, and walked out again, leaving cards from said stores on tables as they departed. Rachel Strules, owner of participating shops Sweet Lady Jane and Tribeca, reports she’s already seen three brand-new customers as a result.

The fashion walk was the brainchild of Church Street Marketplace intern Jem Hughes, a New York City native who’s attending the University of Vermont. Though her major

revisit and refurbish what you have.

“People always complain about things they have that they never wear,” says Strules. “I say, bring them in. Let’s find stuff you can wear with them.” Gabrielle Slaughter, manager of Well Heeled in Stowe and a willing “closet concierge,” agrees with this one. “Shop for what you already own!” she says. “You can add a piece to your wardrobe that allows you to update a look you have in your closet.” For example, long necklaces are in right now, she points out. Which leads us to…

Accessorize. “A scarf, funky earrings, a cool

necklace — you can take a basic tee and jeans and dress it up,” points out ecco Manager Erin Brennan. “It’s cheaper than buying a whole new dress or a pair of pants.” A “T-shirt-and-jeans girl” herself, Brennan says when she adds heels and pearls she “automatically looks more dressed up.”

Buy classics. “It’s hard to convince people to buy the expensive, well-made items,” Strules concedes. “But I always say, ‘Buy quality over quantity.’”

Buy basics. A variation on the preceding tip. Lorrie Tucker, owner of Expressions, advises customers who don’t already have them to get a few key pieces that can “anchor” a wardrobe — such as a good pair of pants or dark jeans, a skirt and a simple shell top.

From this versatile base, myriad looks can be created with jackets, sweaters, shirts and jewelry. And, Tucker emphasizes, make sure these basics really fit and flatter your body, so that you always feel comfortable and confident in them.

is secondary education, Hughes’ internship focuses on merchandising, and “her strength is in event planning,” says CSM Executive Director Ron Redmond. “We had a couple of meetings with merchants, especially those who sell women’s apparel … they wanted to do something different.”

But it looks like the stylin’ walkers, who are employees of their respective retailers, will become a regular Church Street sight: They’ll appear at lunchtime every Saturday of the summer, weather permitting. Other participating stores are ecco, Whim, Damsels and Expressions, and their current resto partners are Leunig’s, Sweetwaters, Rí Rá, The Scuffer, Three Tomatoes and Halvorson’s. Diners form a “readymade audience,” Redmond says.

“It’s entertainment for them,” suggests Strules, who says she likes this new way to advertise her wares “because it’s free.”

That’s all well and good for the retailers, who are trying to sell clothing in a down economy.

But the hard times have hit customers, too, and God knows shopping isn’t free. What’s a fashionista to do when the desire to look good is strong but the purchasing power is weak?

We went on a slightly subversive — or at least counterintuitive — quest of our own by asking retailers themselves how to save money (or rather, how to spend it wisely). Maybe we shouldn’t have been surprised that their answers were sound; after all, they’re fashion pros. From them we compiled a list of “smart shopping” tips that will serve consumers well even when the good times return. Here it is for you, absolutely free.

usually have a good strong core of pieces — they don’t need another pair of black pants,” says Marilyn Gaul, owner of Marilyn’s in Burlington. “What I’m hearing in the recession is that people want color, and things that will mix and match.” But, she adds, a high price tag shouldn’t rule out a piece that “knocks your socks off.” If a woman “absolutely loves something and it’s unique,” Gaul says, it just might be worth it.

Shop at stores you trust. “They know

you best,” advises Gaul. As in other small boutiques, she and her staff are familiar with their regular customers, their proportions, their tastes and their budgets. “When you find a store that speaks to your personality,” says Gaul, “the more you build on that relationship, the more efficient your shopping will be.”

Fitting Image A Thetford consultant helps Vermonters dress with less stress

I

“

Story Margot Harrison

’m a big fan of Farm-Way,” says Helena Binder. That’s a common sentiment in Vermont, perhaps, but not one you’d expect from a professional image consultant. Slender and black-clad, accented with a fashionably chunky necklace, Binder doesn’t look like the sort of person who would sing the praises of the Bradford-based outdoorgear emporium. But in the year and a half she’s been living in Thetford, says the “New Yorker born and bred,” she’s learned the importance of having the right shoes to tackle the muck.

An image consultant in rural Vermont? Currently Binder sees “less than a dozen” local clients whom she charges roughly $70 per hour. But she’s expanding her business by reaching out to nearby colleges, where students need guidance in making the transition from campus casual to the business world.

She’s already arranged to work with the Women in Business student group at nearby Dartmouth, offering group seminars on “everything from dressing for interviews to public speaking.”

Binder also likes to work with individuals, “particularly women my age who don’t have as many resources for fashion,” says the youthful-looking 54-year-old.

“Women who are at the stage of life where they kind of feel they need a new look.”

She notes that women in transition — recently retired, divorced, widowed or recovered from illness — often “need to feel good about themselves.”

Binder is in transition herself — getting ready for an August wedding to the man who brought her to Vermont, Jim Zien of Fairlee’s Aloha Foundation, a nonprofit that oversees several summer camps. Meanwhile, she’s splitting her time between the consulting work and directing the Lake George Opera’s upcoming production of Madama Butterfly in Saratoga, N.Y. Binder comes to the image biz through a long career in the performing arts, including several years traveling around the country to direct operas and “20-plus years” as an actor and theater director. Back in 1980, she was singing with New Wave band Blotto when they hit it big with the song “I Wanna Be a Lifeguard.”

In those days, “I wore a lot of vintage,” says Binder, noting that the band’s logo featured her body in a ’50s Schiaparelli dress. “I used to keep a journal of what I wore to every gig so I didn’t repeat stuff.”

Throughout her stage career Binder was “very involved with fashion stuff, either in terms of costumes or my own fashion or doing stuff for friends,” she says. While her son was young, she took a break from the theater and worked as a retail buyer for a chain of New York specialty stores, focusing on accessories.

“That fulfilled my lifelong dream of really getting into the fashion world and understanding what was happening there,” says Binder, whose grandfather was a haberdasher.

When her son went to college, Binder began doing image consulting in tandem with directing. She started out working with actors and singers, who came to her for feedback on their audition pieces, and she still offers her professional clients coaching in “speaking skills, public speaking and accent reduction.”

Projecting the right image, of course, is about more than wearing the right clothes — but a wardrobe makeover can help. Binder says many clients bring her their frustration with a closet full of clothes they don’t want to wear. “Very often people’s bodies have changed, and they aren’t sure why favorite things just

shopping now,” says Binder. “People are looking for ways to revamp what they have without spending a lot of money, and I’m all about that. They want advice on how they can take what they’ve got and, with the addition of one or two things, make it look new.”

So Binder’s guiding principle is

Very often people’s bodies have changed, and they aren’t sure why favorite things just don’t look right anymore.

Helena Binder

Excerpts from Helena Binder’s wardrobe tips for men: What’s the deal with the long hair? Men! The ponytail is OVER. Yeah. I’m talking to you, Mr. I-Was-At-Woodstock! ... If you’re trying to hang on to your youth, or youthful appearance, I’m here to tell you that you will look, and perhaps feel, years younger without the Grateful Dead tribute down your back. Is it the wife who’s telling you to keep it? Wait till she sees you looking like the handsome, modern guy you really are ... and see how much she misses Mullet City...

The whole long-hair, dirty-jeans thing went out for the over-50 crowd around the time you were learning the Hustle. I’m referring to the disco dance, not the Wall Street cash-in, neither of which has survived well. So it’s time for a fresh look...

[Besides new jeans,] a couple of new T-shirts would make a big difference ... One or two in a dark blue or black that don’t say “Jack Daniels,” and a couple new white ones because the white get pretty dingy after a year of wearing. Pick up a dark sport coat and throw that over the whole thing, and — Voilà! — you can go anywhere. Around here, anyway.

And, as Dad said when he handed you the car keys, “Get a haircut!”

don’t look right anymore,” she says. “I myself put on a jumper yesterday that I’ve worn and loved, and I said, ‘OK, this is over! I can’t wear this anymore.’ It just wasn’t right for me at this age.”

On the popular cable show “What Not to Wear,” a duo of snarky stylists throw out a bad dresser’s entire wardrobe and give her five grand to spend on better duds. That’s not an option for most of us in today’s economy. “I feel like people don’t really want to be

recycling — “a big theme in Vermont, I’ve found,” she notes wryly. On their first pass through the stuffed closet, she and the client “usually throw out half,” she says. Then they think about how to repurpose the rest: “I’m a fresh pair of eyes. I see something and say, ‘What about this? Have you tried putting a belt with this?’”

Accessories may seem like afterthoughts, but “belts are a strong investment that can really change a lot

of stuff,” says Binder. Another technique she uses is to “ask people to put on an outfit they feel great in.” For instance, Binder recalls a client who wasn’t happy with the dress she’d picked out for her son’s wedding: “It looked really frumpy.”

Binder asked the woman to go into her closet and find “a dressy outfit she liked,” then analyzed the result and tweaked it by tucking in a top. “And that’s what she ended up wearing to her son’s wedding. She didn’t buy a new outfit.”

Binder does sometimes shop with clients — or, more often, send them links to desirable items in online stores.

She has “no affiliations with merchants — I like to keep it that way,” but is an unabashed bargain hunter, getting “a lot of stuff from online Target,” she says. “I don’t think you need to spend a lot of money to have a look.”

How has this stylish woman, who’s lived in Manhattan and D.C., adjusted to a place where fashions often seem to change as quickly as the silhouette of mountains on the horizon? Binder says that, unlike the TV stylists, she doesn’t try to push metropolitan trends. “My work isn’t about imposing a particular style or look. It’s kind of seeing what the atmosphere is and then helping someone find how they can be more put together.”

Good fit, she notes, is one constant in the world of changing styles: “A lot of women feel that if they wear something baggy, it hides their shape, but the opposite is true.” She doesn’t recommend tailoring, though, unless it’s a minor adjustment like raising or lowering a hem: “There is enough out there — unless you have a very peculiar body shape — to find things that really fit without making the additional investment.”

Binder believes “it’s really important to honor somebody’s personal style” — not to push skirts on a determined pants wearer, for instance. But, like all style mavens, she does have strong opinions and has even written some up in breezy advice-column format (see sidebar).

Binder’s least favorite trends: flip flops and tank tops. “I cannot stand the bra strap showing. Hate it!” she exclaims, suddenly sounding like Stacy London on “What Not to Wear.” “The whole thing with overexposed bosoms does not belong in the professional arena.”

On the positive side, Binder is happy to see stores stocking higherwaisted pants after the low-rise fad of the past decade: “[The high waist] tends to be flattering on women, because you don’t have the problem of muffin top and that sort of thing,” she says.

Still, the essence of her business, Binder maintains, is not to serve up style dictates but to teach the fashionstarved how to fish for their own ensembles. “I try to show them what is a flattering cut-off line — what lines, what lengths are flattering,” she says. “I don’t want to just buy things for people; I want them to be able to develop an eye for their own wardrobe.”

Cole Haan may never replace Carhartt for a jaunt on dirt roads, and “business casual” is business as usual in Burlington. But Binder reminds her clients that, in style as in most things, knowledge is power. m

Theater review: Love, Isadora

B

“

Story ElisabEth CrEan

Love, Isadora, directed by Janis Stevens, produced

by Lost Nation theater. City Hall Auditorium, Montpelier. June 11-14: thursday at 7 p.m., Friday and Saturday at 8 p.m., and Sunday at 2 p.m. $20-25. lostnation theater.org

efore I die, I hope to understand how the heart can break in two and yet it goes on living.” This line from Rick Foster’s one-woman play Love, Isadora crystallizes the painful private life of Isadora Duncan (1877-1927). San Francisco born, she rose to international stardom by revolutionizing the practice and philosophy of modern dance. But off stage, tragedy stalked Duncan: doomed relationships with men, the loss of her children and her own premature death in a freak car accident.

In Montpelier, Lost Nation Theater’s current production of Love, Isadora features a captivating performance by Lori Russo. For 80 minutes, uninterrupted by an intermission, the actress-dancer transforms herself into Duncan. She pilots the audience through the tempests that buffet her. Polished production elements and Janis Stevens’ artful direction enhance Russo’s nearly flawless portrayal.

Foster’s script contains many poetic passages. But it also suffers from a central flaw: It tells more than it shows. Too often, Duncan is recounting events, not reliving them. In a one-person play, other characters must come to life as the central figure experiences her memories, rather than just describing them.

Foster does this beautifully in Vivien, his one-woman show about actress Vivien Leigh, which LNT staged two years ago.

He picks an afternoon when the aging star arrives early for an audition. Leigh

uses the time to sift through her past.

Vivid recollections of key people and telling moments create a poignant portrait of a deeply troubled woman.

In Love, Isadora, Foster attempts to retell the dancer’s entire life chronologically, illustrating important biographical points with dance. For a plot summary, one could essentially go to Wikipedia. As Duncan makes her way from American child to star of the European stage, she develops innovative theories about how the body should move and the relationship between music and dance. She is passionate about teaching this freer style of movement to children, and founds dance schools in Germany, France and Russia. Duncan’s three major relation-

ships with men are difficult, but in the script, only the brutish Russian poet becomes a memorable character. All of her children die tragically, as does she.

The sea emerges as a potent theme.

In her opening speech, the dancer calls it “the source of all my life and art.” In some of the play’s best moments, she recalls specific episodes where she stood at the water’s edge: pregnant, alone and suicidal at night, wading into the North Sea; despondent on an Italian beach, reaching out to an anonymous fisherman.

In trying to include too much information, however, the playwright has paradoxically left out some of the most dramatic material, such as the heartwrenching details of how Duncan’s two young children drowned. We see her pain on stage — she collapses and weeps — but the lack of specificity in the writing means we don’t experience it.

That said, the force of Russo’s performance alone makes the show worth seeing. She portrays Duncan with such passion that she draws you into the dancer’s world. Her energy never flags despite the emotional intensity of the story and the physical demands of dancing. In several scenes, Russo effectively uses her lithe yet muscular frame to communicate Duncan’s language of movement. Tracy Eisenberg’s choreography is a little repetitive in the first few numbers. But the dances become more compelling when Duncan mourns lost love and, later, lost children, embracing pieces of cloth that represent her missing loved ones.

Russo most powerfully conveys Duncan’s larger-than-life persona with expressive facial features. Her chin juts; her high cheeks glow. Her kohl-rimmed, purple-shadowed eyes engage directly with the audience, radiating the fervor of Duncan’s feelings. They shimmer with joy and dull with despair. Costume designer Gail Russell’s lavender Grecian tunic allows Russo to flow gracefully around the stage with the elegance appropriate to Duncan’s character. Stevens’ skillful direction keeps Russo active, even when the text itself grows static.

Jeffrey E. Salzberg’s stellar lighting design greatly enriches the storytelling, which takes place on a minimally furnished set. Diaphanous panels of sheer white fabric hang from the back wall. A black wood floor gives Russo room to dance, with just an Adirondack chair, piano bench and travel trunk scattered at the edges. Salzberg creates haunting effects, such as a window of pale light from the North Sea. Dusky purples bounce off the dark floor; cheery lavenders off the white backdrop. Salzberg uses a palette of light to paint changes in mood and location.

“The happiness of women is not your destiny,” Duncan’s friend Eleanora Duse tells the recently bereaved mother midway through Love, Isadora. The prophecy sadly comes true. Fame and professional success never remotely compensate for the personal losses Duncan continues to suffer. The Irish poet Shaemus O’Sheel eulogized Duncan after her death: “She was the soul of man confronting nature and the enigma of life, brave and troubled and terrified among the mysteries.” Love, Isadora shows just how much courage Duncan had to muster to achieve all the things for which we now remember her, when life kept throwing cruel obstacles in her path. m

Reinventing the Past

A EXHIBIT “Inspired Stories: Artists Reflect on the Historical Collection of the Sullivan Museum,” a group exhibit in mixed media. Sullivan Museum and History Center, Norwich University, Northfield.

Through August 28.

Dessert and discussion featuring the artists, Wednesdays, 6:30-8 p.m., June 17, July 15 and July 29.

ARTWORK “Gone” by Riki Moss

PHOTO Marc Awodey

t the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, an extensive array of armor, swords, helmets and halberds reside in their own sanctum, at some distance from the Monets, Renoirs and Picassos. In the Met’s vast collections, historical objects and fine art pieces go in separate zones, according to category and period.

That’s the rule of thumb in museums, where mash-ups of artifacts and art are unusual. Exhibitions that pull together historical objects and contemporary art are rarer still.

But that’s precisely what the new director of the Sullivan Museum and History Center at Norwich University has attempted in the institution’s first foray into fine art: “Inspired

by Stories: Artists Reflect on the Historical Collection of the Sullivan Museum.”

Marilyn Solvay decided to bring local contemporary art into the museum as a way to help visitors understand and interpret obsolete artifacts that have little relationship to modern life. As she puts it, “History is usually about dates and dead people, usually white dead people.”

In an effort to bring all that old stuff to life — along with the dead people the things belonged to — Solvay has introduced interpretive and interactive elements to the permanent collection and the rotating exhibitions in the main gallery space of the 16,000-square-foot museum, which chronicles the history of the oldest private military and engineering college in the country. (Norwich is no longer strictly a military college; in the 1970s, it began to accept women and later to offer civilian courses and programs. The current student configuration is about 60:40 cadets to civilians, according to Solvay.)

For “Inspired by Stories,” Solvay asked a group of 18 juried local artists to create new pieces in response to an object from the Sullivan. Interestingly, not one artist chose a gun as a point of reference. Their selections include Admiral Dewey memorabilia, a World War I shrapnel shell, drafting tools, a manual typewriter, a starched nurse’s cap, a wooden trunk and a short snorter (a four-foot-long string of banknotes from all over the world sewn together and signed by a soldier’s fellow travelers). The artists’ interpretations of these ordinary wartime objects range from the conceptual to the representational; in several instances, two artists had radically different takes on the same artifact.

Richard Gomber, an artist from White River Junction, uses the unsullied whiteness of the nurse’s cap (displayed in a nearby case) to riff on that other icon of purity — snow.

In the oil painting “Needs No Starch,” he explores the many colors of snow as it sparkles white in sunlight and darkens to blue in shade. What gives the painting its underlying tension is the contrast of these exotic hues with the quotidian subject of snow piled on a roof dormer.

Nearby is another vision derived from that same stiff white hat: “Home Front,” which artist and Norwich art professor Angelo Arnold calls an “anthropomorphic” object.

The sculpture, which consists of white canvas stretched over a red wood frame, looks like

a cross between a gurney, a wheelchair and a cot.

Burlington painter Marc Awodey chose a slide rule and other drafting implements as the inspiration for his mixed-media piece “World Trade Center — 1963.” The artist’s father was 29 when he became part of the team of 12 architects who helped Minou Yamasaki design the skyscraper complex.

In 2001, he watched as planes brought the two tallest towers down. Awodey wanted to represent, as he puts it, the “bookends” of his father’s career. Though no members of the family died in the terrorist attack, the collapse of the skyscrapers devastated his father.

Awodey’s diptych places a grim, abstracted geometrical likeness of the towers and the buildings in their shadow against a streaked blue sky. Copies of letters he and his father exchanged are pasted to one side of the image. Below is a portrait of the architectural team gathered around a conference table, examining plans and models for what was, at the time, the tallest skyscraper in the world. The relationship to the Norwich slide rule and drafting paraphernalia? According to Awodey, the World Trade Center complex was designed with just such a set of drafting tools.

In the center of the exhibition stands an old wooden and metal footlocker from the class of 1940, and adjacent to it is a different kind of “trunk” — a tree trunk made of paper. Riki Moss took as her inspiration a soldier’s personal effects — letters, photos, blankets, a folded sweater. All these contents had disappeared by the time the trunk was donated to the university. “What remains is an empty, ordinary box,” Moss writes. Her “trunk” is likewise an empty vessel: what remains after a tree has been cut down and left to rot. The piece, titled “Gone,” is a visual representation of loss, void and even death.

“Inspired by Stories” manages to draw on the Sullivan collection’s old stuff and dead people without leaving the viewer outside history. The artists make connections between the present and the past through several degrees of separation, and in their works the people who possessed or inspired these objects appear to us in all their lived-in reality.

free will astrology RE AL

by ROb bREZSNy june 10-17

ARIES (March 21-April 19): So you’re trying to

tell me that the way out is the way in. Is that right?

And that the “wrong” answer just might be the right answer? And that success, if it makes an appearance, will most likely happen by accident? I don’t know, Aries. It’s tricky to get away with this upside-down approach to life unless you have a lot of discipline and yet also don’t take yourself too seriously. You’ve got to be both rigorous and flexible — a stickler for detail and a master of improvisation. I do suspect you’re up for the challenge, but what do you think?

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): In an interview, musician Attiss Ngoval told the San Francisco Chronicle that he’d want the superpower of X-ray vision “IF and ONLY IF I could use it to see people naked under their clothes. I don’t want it if all I see is skeletons.” That’s a good standard for you to keep in mind during the coming weeks, Taurus. I definitely think you’ll have an ability to see deeper into the multilayer levels of reality than you’ve had in quite some time. But your challenge will be to employ that gift to explore sights that are really interesting and useful to you, not just everything and anything that’s usually hidden.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): My astrological charts

suggest that your immediate future is wide open — so much so that it’s difficult to predict which scenarios are more likely than all the others. This might mean that your free will is especially free right now.

But in the interest of giving you something specific to grab on to, I’ll name a few of the myriad possible scenarios. 1) A self-styled anarchist scholar, heir to the fortune of a famed Japanese anime artist, will invite you to a sushi feast at a speakeasy club called “Planet Mars” to discuss the Theory of Everything. 2) A clownish saint with a tattoo of a cobra swallowing the Earth will get you high by sniffing the pimple medication Clearasil, and then tell you a secret about who you were in one of your past lives. 3) A familiar stranger will hand you a Cracker Jack toy and whisper, “Are we never going to see each other again? Or will we get married tomorrow?”

CANCER (June 21-July 22): In honor of the karmic cleanup phase of your astrological cycle, I invite you to do the following exercise: Imagine a pit in the middle of a desert that holds everything you’ve ever used up, spoiled and outgrown. Your old furniture is here, along with stuff like once-favorite clothes, CDs and empty boxes of your favorite cereal. But this garbage dump also contains subtler trash, like photos that capture cherished dreams you gave up on, mementos from failed relationships, and symbols of defunct beliefs and self-images you used to cling to.

Everything that is dead to you is gathered here. Got that vision in your mind’s eye? Now picture yourself dousing the big heap of stuff with gasoline and setting it on fire. Watch it burn.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): This would be a good time

to activate your sleeping potentials by chanting positive declarations about your relationship to what you need. Instead of typical New Age affirmations, however, I think you’ll benefit from something edgier and more poetic. That’s why I’m offering you the statements below. They were originally written by Andrea Carlisle for use by spiders. Say the following several times a day: “I am now receiving many fine fat flies in my web. My web is strong and masterful.

My web is irresistible to all the attractive creatures I like to nibble on. I am amazingly clever and extremely popular. Even now, hundreds of juicy tidbits are headed towards my web.”

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): A talent scout who has

the power to change your course is drawing closer and closer. Find out why, and capitalize on it. Meanwhile, a chameleon who has always had your number just lost it. Find out the details, and take advantage. If that’s not enough to keep you busy, I’ll clue you in to the fact that a cool fool only recently realized you have something that he or she wants. Find out who and what, and exploit the possibilities. (P.S.: I should

also mention that there’s a wild thing out there who would love to lick your hand. Find out why, etc.)

two make five’ is not without its attractions,” said Dostoevsky. I believe you’ll benefit from embracing that perspective in the coming week, Libra. Transcending logic will be your specialty, especially if you do so with a spiritual gleam in your eye. Being a little crooked could awaken sleeping wisdom within you, as well as boost your life force and enhance your physical attractiveness. So please follow any hunches you have that inspire you to stop making so much sense.

Explore the pleasures of using imaginative flair in your search for the truth.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): A lesbian reader who calls herself “Speedy Slow-Hand” wrote to me asking for advice. She explained that she keeps getting obsessed with the half-feral amazons whom her intense Scorpio self lusts after, and this causes her to miss making contact with the warm, nurturing women her softer side craves. Is it better to have someone to run the race with, she asked, or someone to massage her feet after the race? Whether or not you yourself are in the hunt for love, Scorpio, I think her testimony is an apt metaphor for your current dilemma. Should you go with the choice that makes your spirit burn with pungent excitement, or should you opt for what feeds your soul with rich relaxation? I would like to suggest that there’s at least a 30 percent possibility you could have both.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Of the 190 short films the Three Stooges made for Columbia Pictures, only five actually had pie fights. However, those classic scenes sum up all there is to know about the mythic meaning of pie fights, as well as the needs they address and the techniques involved. I urge you to study up on the Stooges’ teachings concerning these matters — and put them to immediate use. Nothing could be more effective in dealing with stalled negotiations, convoluted mind games, superficial exchanges, excessive gravity and bureaucratic slowdowns than a righteous pie fight. You can find a Youtube clip of a Three Stooges pie fight here: tinyurl. com/yvv8hm.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Some people use sly intelligence rather than mindless rage to escape limitations that have outlived their usefulness.

Do you know any? If so, soak up their influence. You could use some inspiration and counsel as you make your own break for freedom. The best way to ensure that your liberation will be permanent, not just a temporary reprieve, is to go about it with humor and subtlety and humility.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Writing in Earth-

watch magazine, Anne Marcotty Morris rhapsodized about her trek into Brazil’s rain forest. The jungle is a fecund place, she said: “Several barbed seeds that had attached themselves to me on our walk into the forest had sprouted by the time we walked out.” These fast-growing seeds happen to be an apt metaphor for the state of your psyche, Aquarius. You’re a hotbed of lush fertility. Given that fact, I advise you to be very discriminating about which influences you give your attention to. Whether they’re good or bad, empowering or corrosive, they will grow fast.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): There has rarely been a better time than now to blend your fresh, sparkly innocence and your deep ancient wisdom. The childlike aspects of your intelligence are especially available, and so are the visionary elements. Furthermore, the two have a great potential to complement and enhance each other. You might be amazed at how dramatically you could transform long-standing problems by invoking this dynamic tandem of energies.

READERS’ PICKS

ballot TIME TO PICK THE DAYSIES!

RULES:

This is our seventh annual best-of readers’ survey, and you know seven is a very cool number!

As always, we’ve come up with a few new categories and tossed a few out. What else is different? Rather than dividing a handful of categories into “inside” and “outside” Chittenden County, as we’ve done in previous years, we’re going to offer Daysie awards in every category in which the number of non-Chittenden votes warrants it. We can’t change the fact that Chittenden is the most populous county — and thus its businesses tend to get the most votes — but Seven Days’ circulation area keeps growing, and we’d like to acknowledge “bests” all over the state!

So, please write legibly and be explicit — if we can’t understand your answer, it won’t count.

Better yet, if you can fill this out online — look for the ballot at sevendaysvt.com. That will make it easier for us to count the results. Which you’ll be able to read all about in our Daysies issue on August 5.

• • •

Voters should fill out ONLY ONE ballot. Evidence of ballot duplication (don’t think we can’t tell) will result in all those ballots being disqualified.

Voters must fill out a minimum of 25 percent of the ballot (24 answers) for it to be counted Play fair, Daysie candidates! Campaigning to win is OK, but no bribes or rewards for votes, please! Evidence of this will result in disqualification, not to mention bad karma.

The Hangover HHHH

T

lost weekend Three friends throw a blowout bachelor party in Vegas and promptly lose the groom in the new comedy from Todd Phillips.

odd Phillips has made nine movies and he will make many more, but no matter what he does for the rest of his professional life, he will forever be remembered as the director of 2003’s Old School. It is his Citizen Kane, his Godfather, his Raging Bull. Everything he ever does will be measured against that film. The heartening news is that his latest withstands comparison better than anything else he’s done to date.

The Hangover isn’t in the same league by a long shot.

But it is an amiably warped romp that suggests what you might have wound up with if Hunter Thompson had been hired to do the script for a Hollywood buddy film: drugs, heavy drinking, a road trip, Las Vegas. It’s even got its share of fear and loathing.

Doug (Justin Bartha) is getting married in two days.

Best friends Phil (Bradley Cooper) and Stu (Ed Helms of “The Office”) have made arrangements to drive to Sin City for a blowout bachelor party and then back to L.A. in time for the ceremony. Along for the ride is the bride’s brother, Alan (Zach Galifianakis).

Phil is a teacher who hates his job. Stu is a henpecked dentist who prefers to be called a doctor. Alan is, well, as close to a completely original screen creation as I’ve seen in years. Imagine John Belushi crossbred with Silent Bob and given to inappropriate behavior in the proximity of young children. Then add dashes of DNA from Jack Black and Seth Rogen. It’s a determinedly low-key performance that’s easily the highlight of the picture.

You’ve seen the trailer and TV ads: The four check into a luxury suite at Caesar’s Palace (where Alan asks the desk clerk, without a trace of irony, “Is this the real

Caesar’s Palace? Did Caesar live here?”). They wake up the next morning to find the place beyond trashed — furniture smoldering, chicken wandering around, crying baby in the closet, tiger in the bathroom, the groom mysteriously MIA — and can’t remember a thing about the night before. With the wedding set to start in a matter of hours, the trio races against the clock to piece together what happened and locate their friend.

Much of the movie’s charm emanates from the gleeful absurdity imbuing every single piece of the puzzle that the three succeed in assembling against all odds.

The surprises are too inspired to risk spoiling, so let me simply list a handful of things you’re going to see along the way, without compromising their narrative context: You are going to see men Tasered voluntarily; a tooth pulled out on a bet; a naked Asian gangster attacking our heroes with a crowbar; a baby imitating a sex act; the groomsmen ingesting controlled substances with Carrot Top; and, perhaps in an homage to Judd Apatow, Zach Galifianakis’ penis.

The script is the work of Jon Lucas and Scott Moore, who clearly have begun experimenting with hallucinogens, or experienced serious head traumas, since they penned the screenplays for Ghosts of Girlfriends Past and Four Christmases. Nothing in their resumes even hinted the pair might have a story this deliciously twisted in them. Which isn’t to take any credit away from Phillips. His direction and pacing serve the material perfectly.

If I have a quibble, it’s that the blackouts are attributed to someone having spiked our party animals’ drinks with roofies (the date-rape drug). This feels

like something of a copout, as though the filmmakers believed suggesting the four simply drank too much would make the audience think less of them. Unless I’m wrong, the whole point of the movie is that they’re going to Vegas to prove to one another — and to themselves — that, while they may be closing in on middle age, they’re still wild and crazy guys.

As missteps go, though, this is a minor one, and in no way does it diminish the film’s fun factor. The Hangover isn’t groundbreaking. It’s an intermittently flippedout, reliably amusing affair with as much of the familiar as the freaky in the mix. Unlike a surprising number of highly touted titles already released this season, however, it doesn’t disappoint. It gets the job done, thanks in large part to the breakout performance of Galifianakis. It’s no Old School, but it will do nicely until Phillips’ eagerly anticipated sequel rolls out in 2011.

Land of the Lost HH

S

t. wrecked Dinos easily outsmart Homo sapiens in the latest misbegotten big-screen adaptation of a 1970s TV staple.

ome movies are in-your-face bad. Others are bad in such a clueless, woolly way that by the end of 110 minutes you may feel like hugging all the actors and craftspeople involved, as if they were grade-schoolers who just gave their all to an endearingly terrible class play. Then you remember their “play” cost $100 million.

Like last year’s Speed Racer, Land of the Lost is an epic test-marketing misfire, a film that targets so many demographics it ends up hitting none. Parents who bring kids will bristle at the raunchy humor. Kids will roll their eyes at special effects designed to capture the bargain-basement look of the original 1974-76 liveaction Saturday-morning TV series. Generation X’ers who fondly remember that Sid and Marty Krofft effort will wonder what happened to the original premise. And Will Ferrell fans probably know enough to stay away.

The original “Land of the Lost” combined very bad effects and acting with some trippy concepts and characters courtesy of reputable science-fiction authors such as David Gerrold. It took place in an interdimensional landfill of sorts where anything might show up, from dinosaurs to historical artifacts to aliens. Into this rift tumbled park ranger Rick Marshall and his two kids, teen heartthrob Will and flaxen-haired Holly.

Retooling the show for an older version of its original audience, scriptwriters Chris Henchy and Dennis McNicholas turned the dad character into your basic Will Ferrell demented manchild: a pompous “quantum paleontologist” who insists that manufactured time warps are the answer to the energy crisis. (Whether he’s a fool or just a tool is

never fully explained.) They gave Holly (Anna Friel) a set of breasts and a Cambridge degree and transformed her into Marshall’s love interest. (No, they’re no longer related.) Will is now a comic slacker (Danny McBride) who accidentally ends up accompanying Rick and Holly through a crack in the space-time continuum when they test their scientific gizmo at his desert roadside attraction.

Once they’ve done the time warp, our three protagonists encounter a raging T. Rex, a plaintive little hairy humanoid (Jorma Taccone), and a tribe of toothy reptilians called Sleestaks with a New Age crystal obsession. They wander through a surreal desert strewn with the detritus of human history; they escape perils and learn lessons. Enough rambling, F/X-laden stuff happens that it may take viewers a while to realize the film is simply one hyperextended stoner joke. By the time the male characters are getting high on berries and daring each other to French kiss, it’s stopped even pretending to be a fantastical adventure. (The Krofft shows are notorious for their jokey drug-culture subtext, but nothing’s “sub-“ here.)

As an exercise in pure loopiness, Land of the Lost is about as entertaining as your second or third viewing of the trailer for the upcoming time-hopping stoner comedy Year One. (Just think of McBride as Jack Black and Taccone as a simian Michael Cera.)

But, despite a few lightheaded moments, the film keeps bringing itself down to earth with ham-handed running jokes and pop-culture references. To call Ferrell’s character poorly drawn is kind: He’s characterized with product placement. When Holly discovers Marshall distraught over the failure of his time-travel device, he’s just coming off a fast-food binge that he rehashes in detail, dutifully name-checking Arby’s and Subway. (Later, McBride’s character joins the shilling, noting that he once moved to live closer to a Ruby Tuesday.) If a film ever needed to turn its sponsorships into a self-conscious joke à la “30 Rock,” this is it.

So why is it hard to hate Land of the Lost? The movie feels underpopulated, with more CGI creatures than human beings, but at least the actors on screen appear to be having fun. Ferrell does his usual comically self-important schtick, McBride gets the most out of his deadpan, eyerolling delivery, and even Friel seems to be trying to apply some moxie to her thankless role as eye candy.

If you saw pieces of Land of the Lost while flipping around on Friday-night basic cable, you might find it a passable, silly diversion. And, if box office figures are any indication, you’ll soon have the opportunity to do just that.

AnAis mitchell, with speciAl guest meg hutchinson

Vermonter Anais Mitchell is a restless troubadour of a singer-songwriter whose intimate and poetic songs and beautiful pure soprano voice caught the attention of Ani DiFranco who signed her to Righteous Babe Records in 2004. A winner of the prestigious New Folk award in 2003, Mitchell is a generous and captivating performer whose music spills over with metaphor, intense emotion, and creative spark. The intimacy and great acoustics of the UVM Recital Hall will be perfect venue to hear this beautiful artist.

Opening for Mitchell is singer-songwriter Meg Hutchinson, who has garnered much critical attention for her unique alto vocals, resonating razor-sharp lyrics, and sophisticated folk/pop songwriting.

ext to the corset, and maybe the burqa, no item of women’s attire is more symbolic of female enslavement than … the apron. A symbol of domesticity in an era when a woman’s “place was in the home,” the garment was fodder for feminist critique in the 1960s. Even men have rejected the practical kitchen smock: Saying a boy is “tied to his mother’s apron strings” means he’s a sissy — not a master chef in training.

But a quick glance at the crafty website Etsy.com suggests the apron is making a

who was born in 1898. She was one of the last Victorians,” Green recalls. Unsurprisingly, the artist — who has a deep interest in fashion design — enjoys old-fashioned aprons. But her own designs combine classic and modern elements.

At The Clothing Line in Burlington, owner Heather Beal always keeps a couple dozen aprons on hand, and sells around five per week. The petite, 40-year-old shopkeeper carries vintage versions but also stocks some from a trio of local designers, including Green. Each one, she explains, has a vastly different style: Gretchen Verplanck’s “have sock monkeys on them, polka dots with

comeback — this time, on its own terms.

Searching for the word “apron” returns a whopping 14,081 results. A quick scan shows that the handmade garments are far from the plain and practical versions used in restaurant kitchens: These creations range from fancy and frilly to silly to sexy. The majority cost between 20 and 40 bucks.

Apron artists abound in Vermont. With her Etsy shop, local retail outlets and weekly gig at the Burlington Farmers Market, textile artist Sarah O. Green estimates that she sells around 500 aprons a year, at an average of $30 a pop. She grew up wearing them. “We had a drawer of aprons made by my grandmother,

stripes … They look like Pee Wee’s Playhouse on acid,” Beal describes. Brook Stewart’s versions, on the other hand, are more food focused: Each one arrives with its very own recipe. “I have one called “fudge brownie,” she mentions. “It’s brown with pink rickrack, and it looks, somehow, like a brownie.”

There’s a cherry-pie version, too.

Beal surmises that she sells more aprons when she’s sporting one herself in her shop, which she does several days a week.

Why wear one when you’re not cooking or cleaning? Part of the reason is practical: It keeps your clothes free from coffee stains and dirt. But, Beal notes, there’s a psychological

motive as well. Wearing an apron peps her up. “Sometimes, if I’m not feeling like I have enough flair … I put an apron on and it’s much better. I feel like I’m ready for action.

Like I could bake a pie.”

Green echoes, “When I tie one on, I feel very purposeful and organized … I feel cute

and enjoy my domestic tasks even more.”

At least here in Vermont, the local-food movement has gone a long way to improve the apron’s image. “My husband and I have always had vegetable gardens, we used to raise lambs, we started raising mega chickens 10 years ago,” Green reveals. “I feel such >> 04B

profound gratitude and celebration about these ingredients I’m using to nourish my family. Tying the apron on is a little bit of a ritual,” she says.

The ritual would be recognizable to her grandmother, but the look of some of her aprons might be unusual to someone used to delicate feminine accoutrements.

sweet, interesting, a little offkilter,” Green says. One of her creations, for example, might be printed with pictures of cowboys, accented with a plaid collar from a vintage shirt that she has reclaimed from a thrift store. She also whips up racy un-Victorian potholders — dubbed “HotHolders,” from “pinup” fabric featuring buff topless men.

Kitchen Stitch

I’m a klutz; if I enter a room containing tomato sauce, at least one splash invariably finds its way onto my shirt: This leads to lots of laundry detergent purchases and a sense of growing desperation about my wardrobe. But for some reason, I’m not in the habit of wearing an apron. Although I try to change into ratty “house clothes” before doing the dishes, adding an extra, prophylactic layer to my outfit before cooking rarely crosses my mind.

This isn’t because I’m rebelling against the patriarchy by rejecting apron strings as a symbol of oppression. After all, my husband works in a kitchen, and it’s not unusual to see him sporting a man apron — “mapron?” — as he whips up a meal. More likely my lack of interest has been due to the tangle of tacky tie-ons — none of which I purchased for myself — clogging up my dishcloth drawer.

They include: 1) A serious — and seriously un-sexy — canvas deal printed with pots and pans. 2) A bright-green, holiday version complete with a Santa head and a reindeer or two — perfect for making X-mas cookies with little ones, but I never bake and don’t have kids. 3) A sleek black number marred by the presence of a garish, yellow-and-green slogan for a canola-oil marketing organization — a gift for judging a fried cooking contest at the 2007 Champlain Valley Fair.

Over the last few days, as I scanned the thousands of hip, funky and fun aprons available on crafty websites, I started to get excited about the workhorses of the clothing world. Could the old, tomato-sauce-stained shirts in my closet be cut up and repurposed as handmade aprons to protect my newer clothing?

I knew exactly where to go to turn my apron dreams into reality. At The Bobbin Sew Bar and Craft Lounge on Burlington’s North Winooski Avenue, owners Gyllian Svenson and Rachel Hooper occasionally teach apron-making classes, but for $25 an hour, they’ll serve up DIY skills in a private lesson.

When I arrived, Svenson had a colorful collection of printed and plain fabrics laid out on the table and ready for the plucking — cloth was included in the lesson’s price — but when I identified my favorite pattern, she pointed out a problem: There was just enough of the good stuff for a sash and pockets. “That’s part of the deal working with reclaimed fabric,” she explains.

We managed to match the bold purples, blues and teals with a handful of complementary cloths, and it was time to sew.

Well, almost. First we needed to create a pattern. Armed with a measuring tape, some brown paper and a pair of scissors, Svenson created a mock-up of the bodice, with a sweetheart neckline and a colorful waistband — an original design, of course. The skirt was so simple we didn’t even need to lay it out.

With a few snips and some ironing, the pieces — including a special pocket for my iPhone — were ready for assembly.

After three chatty hours, I walked out the door with a burnished sense of confidence in my sewing abilities and a purple, blue and green confection pretty enough to wear in public.

In fact, I like my jewel-toned, handmade apron so much that I’m loath to splash it with olive oil or drizzle it with viscous, golden egg yolk. You know what, though? That canvas muumuu in my kitchen drawer would fit right over it.

reclaimed and updated the housewife’s costume. As a stay-at-home mom who is also a business owner, for her wearing an apron is a “celebration” of domestic work — like gardening and cooking — that she does alongside her apron-wearing husband and her children. “It’s just lovely to put on an apron and start the process of cooking,” she mentions. “It’s symbolic.”

Eye-catching, too, according to Beal, in a sexy and subversive way.

An apron is flattering, she notes.

“It hugs your actual waist. I think it’s kind of liberating, playful and ironic.” In addition, she suggests, “There’s something provocative about it. It’s like a skirt without a back.”

That could begin to explain why some women are wearing aprons outside of the home.

When Green first got a spot at the Burlington Farmers Market, she was selling mostly to “young women visiting from big cities … They were clearly appreciating them as fashion accessories.”

“It’s definitely more and more of a trend,” Beal concurs.

Is it time for guys to tie one on? Beal’s man, who does all the cooking at her place, already does.

“He loves the frilliest one, which I just adore,” she boasts. “He claims it’s because of the coverage, but I think it’s a deep-rooted thing.”

Kaeck is all over the guy thing, too. She sells feminine halterand smock-type versions at the Middlebury Farmers Market, but she also offers styles for little girls and boys. “I don’t know a little boy who doesn’t love to make cookies,” the mother of two says.

“To think a boy wouldn’t wear an apron wouldn’t cross my mind.”

Nevertheless, her aprons for little fellows aren’t flying off the shelves. “You wouldn’t believe the number of comments I get,” Kaeck remarks. When somebody does opt to pick one up, whether it’s a young mother or a matronly grandmother, she’s likely to downplay the kitchen connection: “‘Little Tommy can use this for his tools, or to grill with daddy,’” she mimics. When they see her offerings, it “stops them. They have to think about it for a minute.” A women’s studies and art student in college, Kaeck finds it surprising that “we’re still having these conversations.”

Oddly enough, if an apron is extra cute, it can also be a hard sell.

When she peddles her wares, Green says, prospective buyers sometimes walk on by because her items are too stylish. “People will say, ‘These are too nice. I wouldn’t want to wear it because I wouldn’t want to get it dirty,’” she laments. “I’m not going to make ugly aprons thinking people are more likely to buy them.

I don’t think that would work.”

For those who aren’t quite as worried about splashes and dribbles, aprons are an increasingly fashionable way to tie together our old and new ideas about domesticity. Who knows … one day, that old apron-string dis could be considered a compliment. m

Dealing With Dairy

UNCOMMON CHANGES HANDS; LOCALVORE EATERIES EXPAND

RURAL VERMONT CHANGES DIRECTORS; THROWS A MOZZ MEETUP

Since 1994, Skip and Bev Blakely of Uncommon Grounds Coffee & Tea have been providing Burlingtonians with fresh-roasted coffee drinks, loose-leaf teas and pastries. But last month the couple quietly retired, leaving the business in the hands of their daughter, Brenda Vinson.

“I spent since September learning the business end of things,” says Vinson, a self-described coffee lover, who moved to Vermont from Texas to take over the operation. She says the café’s “great staff” eased the swap process: “They work hard. They’re really good.”

Vinson doesn’t plan to make many changes, but she does intend to expand UG’s wholesale business.

“I think we can offer a really great, fresh-roasted product to restaurants in the area,” she says.

“We’re local, we can get it to people really quick, and it’s very fresh coffee.”

When they’re not hanging out in the coffee shop visiting regulars with whom they’ve “grown to be friends,” the Blakelys will be pursuing their cherished hobbies. “My mom loves gardening, so this is the perfect time of year to transition out,” Vinson says. Skip “really loves woodworking, and he’s got a great workshop. They’re enjoying having more time.”

The Farmers Diner, located in Quechee, is known for its commitment to local farmers. As the menu boasts, the biz strives to purchase 80 percent of its ingredients from “area farmers and producers.”

Last Wednesday, Addison County growers started to feel the love as partners Tod Murphy and Denise Perras quietly opened the doors at their Middlebury location, in the spot formerly occupied

by Top Spice Asian Cuisine.

Offering casual fare such as chicken wings, burgers and hash ’n’ eggs, the diner dishes up breakfast and lunch all day. On weekends, the joint, which has a full bar, remains open from Friday morning at 7 till Sunday night at 8. “People are excited. There’s nobody around doing it,” says Murphy of the late-night hours.

What does the night-owl crowd nosh on? Lots of fresh French fries with gravy. “Nectar’s got them trained,” Murphy suggests. He says the “community-driven” Midd crowd — made up of college kids and older folks — feels distinct from the touristy Quechee market, and eats up poultry dishes and strawberry milkshakes.

Later this summer, after adding a selection of small plates and dinner entrées to the Midd menu, Murphy hopes to make strides toward opening a third location in Williston or Burlington. “I’ll start putting together financing in the middle of the summer,” he says, “and then begin to look for a space.”

Like the Farmers Diner, the Burlington-based Skinny Pancake is known for its commitment to localvore ethics.

And it’s just undergone its own expansion. The crêperie’s smaller second location, which co-owner Benjy Adler refers to as a “miniSkinny,” opened last Friday in Montpelier.

Adler attests that the move went “swimmingly.

The people of Montpelier had wonderful, kind and welcoming things to say to us. Children were running around and dancing on the patio; it was swell,” he gushes.

In particular, Adler is thrilled with the spot’s “beautiful staff,” including “incredible” General Manager Jeremy Silansky. The CIA-trained chef has worked at legendary Green Mountain restaurants such as Smokejacks, American Flatbread and media darling Hen of the Wood. “He’s a proven localvore and a great asset,” Adler states.

To supply the new spot, Silansky helped the SP hook up with fresh sources such as Cate Farm, Gaylord Farm and the Main Street Market Garden.

While the skinnier Skinny will lack a few features of the flagship location — such as table service and fondue — Adler notes that he’s honoring the spot’s past as a Ben & Jerry’s with a couple of special desserts, including a hot and cold confection called “Brownies in Bed.” Sounds pretty … hot.

On July 1, Amy Shollenberger, director of Rural Vermont — a nonprofit farm-advocacy group — will relinquish her position to start a Montpelierbased consulting business. “I’m planning to focus on campaign strategy and grassroots organizing,” the lobbyist says. “I’m hoping to do most of my work around here, and I might do some national stuff … if the opportunity arises.”

In her tenure as director, Shollenberger helped shepherd bills that allow farms to sell uninspected poultry and greater quantities of raw milk. But despite these successes, she believes it’s time for new blood. “I really believe it’s good for organizations, especially small ones, to have new directors every so many years,” she explains. “I was ready for the next step in my career, as well.”

Where does Shollenberger think Rural Vermont should go from here? “Honestly, that’s not for me to say,” she demurs. “The mission is economic justice, and it’s focused on what the farmers need.”

Her replacement, Brian Moyer of Pennsylvania, will be relocating for the position. Shollenberger speculates: “I think the board felt that, out of all the candidates, he stood out as the one who was not only passionate about the work we do, but also had the background.”

Supporters of Rural Vermont who want to learn to whip up homemade butter, yogurt, ricotta and mozzarella may want to make a special trek to Hinesburg this Sunday.

At her Family Cow Farmstand, dairy farmer and RV board member Lindsay Harris will share the techniques she uses to turn her farm’s creamy raw milk — which sells like hotcakes at $10 a gallon — into dairy delicacies. The fundraiser for Rural Vermont will last three hours, she says, “and I’m inviting people to stay and tour the farm afterwards.”

True to the ideal of economic justice, Harris is charging on a sliding scale, from $20 to $40. Call Rural Vermont to register, at 223-7222.

Hey, we’re local!

BAKER BRINGS MINIATURE SWEETS TO MARKET

Cupcakes have been a hot trend in America’s cities for years — just ask fans of “Sex and the City.”

But, like many food fads — small plates, bánh mì, chef-made charcuterie — they took years to make it to Vermont.

Now, fans of both traditional and original breeds of petits gateaux can find them at the Williston Farmers Market. Entrepreneur Michelle Trudell, who works as an executive assistant at Dynapower during the day, turns into a cupcake-making dynamo on evenings and weekends.

The 38-year-old estimates she’s baked “thousands and thousands” of the treats for her friends and coworkers. “I’ve been dreaming about starting a cupcake bakery for years now,” she says. “I’d always thought I had to do it big, but it makes sense to start off small.”

A graduate of the Women’s Small Business Program offered by Mercy Connections, Trudell, who’s also had stints working at a couple of St. Albans eateries, was able to hit the ground running. To create her company, My Little Cupcake, she says, “I just made a website, a blog and some business cards.” Her cakes run $1 each, $5.50 for six or $10 a dozen. If sales are good enough, a brick-and-mortar bakery could be in the works.

And, with funky flavors such as “S’mores” and the strawberry, chocolate and vanilla “Neapolitan Dynamite,” it’s no wonder Trudell is reporting early success. She’s also gaining notice for her coffee and hot-chocolate varieties, both of which come topped with miniature donuts.

While she loves baking, it’s not Trudell’s only kitchen skill. “I was a cook in the army for eight years,” she dishes. “If you need gravy for 500 people, I’m your girl.”

“Ok, I admit I was a little skeptical.

ome people understand it, some people don’t,” says Chef Mark Timms of Norma’s at Topnotch Resort and Spa in Stowe. He’s talking about “molecular gastronomy,” the movement that brings diners such inventions as “tomato foam,” “shitake toffee” and “cantaloupe caviar.”

“Food to me is art,” Timms continues. “You either like Picasso, or you like Monet or you like Van Gogh. It’s just your interpretation of food.”

juices?” The scientists’ answer: Hell, no. Just throw it in a bag.

From Erice emerged the nowpopular sous-vide method, in which foods are vacuum sealed and slow cooked in a water bath at very low temperatures to soften them while retaining fats and juices. Other innovations included using chemical emulsifiers to produce everything from gelées to pastas; deploying air and nitrogen oxide to “foam” liquids into a cloud of flavor; and even adding a sodium bicarbonate mixture to make dessert pop — literally.

My twist on molecular cuisine is taking maple syrup — a vermont product — and turning it into this funky caviar that people can appreciate. cheF MArk tiMMS

Some may see molecular gastronomy as edible art, or even a plated fashion statement.

But first and foremost it’s about technology. The term was coined in 1988 to describe a series of forums in Erice, Italy, where foodies, physicists and physical chemists met to experiment in areas of food science. For the first time, they would apply its lessons not just to the industrial kitchen, but to the restaurant and home.

Early experiments sought to resolve enduring culinary debates such as “Does meat need to be seared to lock in the

What on earth does this high-tech trend — which many purveyors call “postmodern cuisine” — have to do with all-natural Vermont?

You’d be surprised. While postmodern food may not be on every plate, it’s out there.

Butler’s in Essex has been sous-viding lamb for years. Chef Ted Ask of the super chichi Twin Farms in Barnard surprises guests with foams and spherified liquids on their plates.

Then there’s Timms at Topnotch. Though his daily fare consists of modern classics such as tuna tartare with

avocado salad and a soy-citrus vinaigrette, or filet mignon with prosciutto and cheddar crèpes, Timms and his staff are most excited when they’re experimenting.

Enchanted with the work of postmodern heavyweights such as Ferran Adriá of elBulli in Catalonia (considered by many to be the father of “molecular gastronomy”) and Grant Achatz of Alinea in Chicago, Timms still considers himself a student of the craft. A kindred spirit in that respect, I’ve set myself a life goal of learning and perfecting a single molecular technique. I ask Timms if he would be willing to share one of his discoveries with me. Sure, he replies — but why stop with just one?

That’s how I find myself in the basement kitchen at Norma’s, participating in a molecular boot camp designed just for me. While most other folks are enjoying their Memorial Day hot dogs and burgers, I am learning to make cantaloupe caviar with the help of Timms’ sous-chef, Aaron Martin.

When it comes to postmodern cuisine, Timms says, his priority is finding ways to produce it quickly and “without a lot of weights and measures.”

The more intricate stuff, he says, he’ll leave to those who are “more into the science of it.”

Martin certainly fits that bill.

Before we begin, he explains that he has already spent hours rendering the meat of a cantaloupe.

Now he’ll add algin, a brown algae extract harvested from waters off the coast of Scotland.

The plant matter visibly emulsifies the cantaloupe essence as Martin smooths it with an immersion blender. Next, he

helps me feed the mixture into a syringe big enough to put a horse out for surgery, and instructs me to inject small blobs of the compound into a vessel containing water mixed with Calcic, or calcium salt, commonly used in cheesemaking.

This mild acid bath — which Martin says “feels like slimy water” — “cooks” the caviar.

It takes just 30 seconds to a minute to seal the irregular orbs I produced, really more akin to a pond full of tadpoles — or sperm — than real fish eggs.

Timms also makes “maple caviar” that pops at first bite just like the real thing. He sees it as a uniquely Green Mountain addition to the avant-garde canon: “My twist on molecular cuisine is taking maple syrup — a Vermont product — and turning it into this funky caviar that people can appreciate.”

While most chefs who dabble in chemical processes are curious about the minutiae of food science, Timms says he is “absolutely not. My interests as a kid were art, history, geography. I was horrible at math, horrible at science.” Rather, the frustrated art student says he thrives on “finding another art form for your regular ingredients and presenting them in a very artistic fashion on a plate — finding the different beauty in things that you have every day. To me,” he adds, “it’s a very sexy way to present different foods.”

What’s not so sexy is the unreliability of the processes.

Today Timms abandons his attempts to spin candied olive oil around a broomstick, a feat he’s managed several times in the past. “A recipe can work perfectly one day,” he says, noting that factors such as outside temperature play a role.

“And then the next ... it can fail on you pretty fast.”

To replace the broomstick trick, Martin jumps in with a hands-on demonstration in ... making air?

Basil air, that is. Unlike the fare at a late-’90s oxygen bar, this vapor isn’t for inhaling.

“You put it in your mouth and let it dissolve,” Martin explains.

Making it isn’t much harder.

We toss basil leaves in boiling water and add a tablespoon of one of the many emulsifying agents from Ferran Adriá’s Texturas line, the pricey source of the chemicals used at Norma’s.

(A single can of Gellan, for example, goes for nearly $130.)

Then we blend the stuff into something of an astronaut’s basil latte. Separate the foam from the top with a spoon, freeze and ta-da! You’ve got a summery puff of basil to enjoy.

Timms isn’t just performing these tricks for the hell of it: Both the cantaloupe caviar and the basil air belong in the “molecular summer salad” we

are preparing. For presentation, Timms instructs me to apply carrot paint (reduced carrot with olive oil and sugar) to a white plate with a wide brush.

He’s very particular about this final detail: “To me a white plate is a canvas,” Timms explains, then adds a surprisingly downto-earth comparison: “They use a white plate at Al’s to showcase the best burgers in town.”

The tomato terrine we place atop the smear of paint is surely the best in its town, too. Timms keeps the dish vegetarian by substituting agar agar for gelatin. Beyond that, the process of turning tomatoes and basil into a pâté is not that different maRk timms

ingredient. Though he admits to sometimes using Metil (a methylcellulose powder) to help stabilize the product, Timms treasures the dish for its simplicity. He rattles off the recipe: “Cook it down into a paste and then spread out the pulp onto a baking tray and bake that at 250° for an hour and a half and then you have a perfect piece of paper.” (See sidebar to make your own.) The salad now contains nine discrete elements, but it comes together perfectly, appealing to intellect and senses alike. Eating has never been such serious fun.

I know I like it. But are other Vermonters hopping on the molecular-gastronomy bandwagon? “It’s mixed reviews,” Timms admits. “I’m OK with people critiquing or loving it.”

The chef keeps his regular menu on the more approachable side — his primary clientele consists, after all, of hungry guests at an outdoorsy resort.

However, Timms says many of his diners, who tend to be “well traveled” and “Internet savvy,” are willing to experiment. While all but the most adventurous eaters might still balk at “an

Next, Timms brings out pans of cucumber and pineapple gelées he prepared earlier. Cut in tiny cubes, the cucumber is a knockout punch — like tasting the whole vegetable at once — condensed into a few centimeters. Parsley and tarragon give the pineapple-juice version more complexity. Timms lets me place the bits around our “canvas” like jewels.

Timms hands me a squeeze bottle of parsley bisque with olive oil and parmesan, with which I liberally dot the remaining surface area. We wrap the terrine in a sheet of shitake toffee (exactly what it sounds like) and cover it in the caviar, which has been resting in pure water to rinse off the Calcic.

The final touch? Paper.

Actually, edamame paper.

Timms points this out as a prime example of a chemicalfree repurposing of a common

Take one of Norma’s seafood selections, based on an “awesome technique” Timms adapted from elBulli: “We take the halibut and wrap it up in plastic wrap, almost like a very quick sousvide method ... What you have by cooking it that way is a very moist piece of fish.”

Timms believes that one day, demand for his unique techniques will increase enough to let him explore them more than once or twice a month.

He’s currently planning a tapas menu that will showcase some Adriá-inspired dishes in small portions.

For now, he and his staff are happy to experiment. “We have a long way to go,” he says.

“There’s still a few dishes that I want to perfect. Like a beer jelly roll.” m

<music> Family Man — Baseball has the Griffeys. Film has the Capras. Pop music has the Lennons — and Dylans and Jacksons, etc. Certain families are simply near royalty in their respective fields. In American jazz, the preeminent family name is undoubtedly Marsalis. The son of Ellis and brother of Wynton,

Branford Marsalis is among the most respected artists working today, not merely in jazz but the entirety of modern music.

The outspoken, three-time Grammywinning saxophonist is a certifiable living legend as a performer, composer, bandleader and educator.

This Friday, June 12, he appears with his world-renowned quartet on the Flynn MainStage as a headlining performer for the Burlington Discover Jazz Festival. The Vermont All State Jazz Ensemble open.

sound bites

BY DAN BOLLES

StiLL 99.8 PErcENt JAzz FrEE!

One of the best parts of being the music editor for the state’s preeminent rag is that, within reason, I pretty much get to make up my own rules. Like, for example, last week when I declared Soundbites a “jazz-free zone” during Jazz Fest. Somewhat surprisingly, given that I did the exact same thing during last year’s festivities, designating this column a refuge from all things jazz-tacular appears to have ruffled some feathers. A number of readers wrote in to express their displeasure that I had chosen to “ignore” the biggest annual music event in the state. To which I can only say, “wha’?” thESE ArE Forgetting for the moment the seven weeks of artist spotlights leading up to the festival, and last week’s cover story about Belizbeha — who flat out killed it last Saturday, by the way — and the rundown of free-ish shows in the same issue, and the Pink Martini interview in this issue, and devoting my weekly TV spot on WPTZ (Thursdays at 11 p.m.!) to the opening weekend and my daily live spots this week on their 5:30 NOW broadcasts from Church Street … you’re absolutely right. I’ve obviously been reticent in my coverage. Please, allow me to explain.

The thought process here was twofold. One, as I sarcastically inferred above, we’ve been talking about the Jazz Fest for months.

It’s not like you don’t know what’s going on — at the moment, you can’t walk out your front door in Burlington without stumbling over a saxophone.

The second part of the equation was simply that, believe it or not, there is still plenty of music happening around town and throughout the state that in no way involves jazz, or even — are you sitting down? — Jazz Fest. Don’t those folks deserve some love, too? I think they do.

So, to anyone who felt jilted by my perceived lack of interest in this year’s Burlington Discover Jazz Festival, accept my heartfelt apologies. And as always, thanks for (selectively) reading.

And now, let’s not talk about some jazz!

(Burlington); Lawrence Welks and Our Bear to cross (Burlington); Maui (Burlington); Son of Salami (Burlington); toby Aronson (Burlington); and tooth ache.

(Burlington).

WhiStLiN’ DixiE Erin McDermott and her Montpelierbased Americana outfit the Dixie red Delights are gearing up for their first-ever East Coast tour later this month. Halogen Records lined up POWErS the eight-show, 10-day jaunt, which will see them travel as far south as North Carolina, with stops in New Jersey, Virginia, West Virginia and Philly before a homecoming finale at Charlie O’s on July 4. With the notable exception of ace guitarist Doug Perkins, the entire band from their charmingly down-home debut Bear Hoot will make the trip. Also tagging along are guitarist Jay Ekis and mandolinist Matt Schrag.

This Saturday, the capital city’s Black Door Bar and Bistro will host a sendoff/birthday party for the band. Best of luck, guys.

SuMMEr OF [StiLL BLANk] Despite last week’s plea for help devising an appropriate name for the now-under-way summer of marquee musical madness, my inbox remained remarkably quiet — save for those with a Jazz Fest ax to grind, of course. Nobody has any ideas?

Really? Well, at least I’m not alone. Still, we really should come up with something DixiE rED DELiGhtS to call it, don’t you think? So the offer still stands: a free T-shirt to the best submission. You have until Kid Rock’s third encore.

In the meantime, the Summer of [Blank] rolls on with more music than you can shake a stick — or a credit card — at.

Specifically, this weekend’s 10th annual Roots on the River Festival in Bellows Falls, which runs from Thursday to Sunday.

Thursday, folk songwriting giants Sonny Landreth and chris Smither headline the opening festivities at the Bellows Falls Opera House. Friday features double-barreled guitar god Junior Brown opening for Juno-award winner Fred Eaglesmith — the latter of whom is the traditional guest of honor and will also play Saturday and Sunday with his band, The Flying Squirrels.

curSES! (ArE FuN) Leading off this week, we have a fun-for the-whole-family event, “Fucked Up Music v. 3” at Justin Gonyea’s (romans, Vultures of cult) sorta newly minted recording studio/performance space, The Long Moustache. The only thing is, although anyone and everyone is welcome to attend — except maybe whole families, now that I rethink this — I’m not supposed to tell you where it is, exactly. Um … sorry ’bout that.

That said, industrious Encyclopedia Brown-types who can decipher this fiendishly clever musical riddle — hint: try Google — will be delighted to find a slew of up-and-coming avant-garde rock and noise types of both the local and national variety gracing the stage.

They are: these Are Powers (Brooklyn/Chicago); crank Sturgeon (Burlington); A Snake in the Garden (Burlington); cosmic Matrix

BitE tOrrENt In two weeks — June 19 and 20 — the American Cancer Society’s annual Relay for Life fundraiser will take place at the Champlain Valley Fairgrounds. Chances are, you know someone who is participating, as the event typically draws thousands of supporters. If you haven’t already, find that person and donate. And if you don’t know anyone who is walking, give us a call at Seven Days. I believe we have two teams participating this year. Better still, make a point to check out one of two related musical “relays” happening this weekend, courtesy of local songwriter carol Abair. Friday the entire Abair family — they’re like the von Trapps, but rootsier — will appear with noted tunesmiths karen McFeeters, craig Anderson and rebecca Padula at the Memorial Hall in Essex, in a sort of songwriter-in the-round session.

The following night, Abair’s husband Phil will crank it up with his rock band, the aptly titled Phil Abair Band, at the Elk’s Club on North Avenue in Burlington. Tickets for both shows are available at the door or by calling 578-8574. All proceeds benefit the ACS. Indie-folk fans take note: Portland, Oregon’s Laura Gibson and Musee Mechanique make a return trip to VT this Friday, courtesy of Angioplasty Media.

Local songwriter Shawn Grady opens the show at The Monkey House. Trust me, you don’t want to miss it.

And finally, several months ago, I happened to catch a band from Franklin, VT, called how to Stay Alive in the Woods, I believe at The Monkey House. Though my memory of the evening is a bit fuzzy — it was a while ago — an email I recently received from the band claims that I really liked them and that I asked them to get in touch with me when they had more shows.

Personally, I’m really curious to find out whether or not I actually liked them, or if they are just putting me on with an ingenious PR stunt. They’ll begin a solid run of local shows with a performance at Designhaus this Saturday, followed by an appearance at Higher Ground’s ongoing local-ish showcase Northern Exposure, Wednesday, June 17, in Showcase Lounge. m

The perfect match.

But for my money, the real coup de grace is Saturday night’s performance by seminal, yet eternally underappreciated, alt-country outfit the Bottle rockets, who are making their second consecutive trip to the fest. If you love alt-country and you’ve never seen The Bottle Rockets, Roots on the River should be on your weekend’s to-do list.

In almost any other year, the lineup for this annual shindig would probably rank among the top two or three fests in the state, roots-oriented or otherwise. But, as we all know, this ain’t no ordinary year. Still, it should be a rollicking four days in Bellows Falls.

IMAge CourTesy of PInk MArTInI

Shaken and Stirring A conversation with Pink Martini founder, bandleader and musical ambassador Thomas Lauderdale Dan BOlleS

C

hances are, you’ve never seen a band quite like Portland, Ore.’s “little orchestra,” Pink Martini. In fact, you would need to see several bands, from virtually every corner of the globe, to even begin to comprehend the sprawling range of influences that the 12-member ensemble embraces.

From Latin jazz to French cabaret to Brazilian rumba to classic swing and myriad styles in between, the group is the ultimate musical melting pot.

And in that sense, they’re a quintessentially American band, a fact that no doubt serves the globetrotting outfit well in their self-proclaimed role as the country’s musical ambassadors.

Seven Days recently caught up with Pink Martini founder Thomas Lauderdale by phone, in advance of their upcoming headlining performance at this year’s Burlington Discover Jazz Festival.

SeVen DaYS: Pink Martini meld so many seemingly disparate influences, yet the result is always seamless.

Catch Pink Martini with Sneakin’ Out this Saturday, June 13, at the Flynn MainStage as part of the Burlington Discover Jazz Festival, 8 p.m. $29/39/49.

That seems like an unwieldy endeavor. How do you corral those influences into a cohesive piece?

THOMAS LAUDERDALE: Hopefully that does work out. I’m not sure it always does. But I think the overarching goal is to create a cohesive body of beautiful songs with beautiful melodies. And then it all just extends outward from there. I think that because the interests of the band are so diverse — a percussionist who spent some time in Brazil; another percussionist who grew up in Peru; a singer who studied French and Italian growing up who also happens to be African American; a cellist who speaks Mandarin — I think that because of the diversity inside of the band and also the diverse interests and different abilities in terms of language means that having a diverse repertoire is fun and inclusive.

Coming from jazz to classical to Afro-Cuban to French music makes it all that much more interesting for us on stage as well as, hopefully, [for] the audience. On a bad day it can just seem all too chaotic. But hopefully in the larger picture, it is a more accurate representation of America in 2009.

SD: You guys get around quite a bit. How much influence do you take from your travels abroad?

TL: Well, to cite an example, one of the countries in which we’ve had a great amount of success is Turkey.

And we’ve been promising Turkish audiences a song in Turkish for several years now. Over the weekend we finally recorded one with the Portland Symphony Orchestra for our fifth album, which will be out sometime probably in the spring. So our travels do definitely affect and infect our repertoire. Usually, when we travel to a new country, we try to communicate, at least a little bit, in those languages from the stage. And then also, ideally a song or two in those languages. That doesn’t always work out. But that’s the goal. Again, as an American band, we’re both diplomats and performers. So that’s the goal.

SD: Pink Martini started out basically as a cover band. But now you’re mostly writing your own original — and largely excellent — material. What were some of the challenges in making that transition?

TL: Well, jumping from the first album to the second album was definitely difficult. I mean, how does one compete with “Bolero” by Ravel, or “Brazil” by Ary Barroso, or “Never on Sunday” by [Manos] Hadjidakis?

These are all just incredible songs. So there was a lot of intimidation just in terms of trying to write songs that were diverse, in different languages

PInk MarTInI

and, at the same time, somehow relate it to the cohesive whole. I think that the solution was to collaborate with friends from different parts of the world and try to have as much fun along the way as possible.

SD: In past interviews you’ve spoken about Pink Martini as “musical ambassadors.” But most of those interviews date back to the Bush presidency.

Has that role changed with Obama in the White House?

TL: Well, during the eight years of Bush there was a lot to talk about, both from the stage and also in interviews. And nationally as well as internationally. Now, just to see the difference between what it was to travel, pre-Bush, versus what it meant to travel during Bush … the difference was striking. Traveling became much, much harder under the Bush years. And it was amazing to see what America lost in that period of time, in terms of her reputation and respect. Now, in a sense, I feel like what we were doing in that period

of time was sort of … what Barack seems to be doing now, which is trying to be respectful and aware of the differences and the commonalities.

There was one point where the band was asked to play a Barack Obama event in Portland, which turned out to be the largest event he had in the United States. A crowd of 70,000 people in Portland … We really shared his outlook and approach.

It’s extraordinary, because things seem to be getting better. [Obama’s address] to Muslim leaders was such a huge break, such a huge difference from everything that the Muslim world has experienced from the United States in the last eight years. I think it was a revelation for everyone involved.

But now we begin the difficult work of slowly moving through everything and seeing how we go from here. It will be interesting to see.

But I think our role continues.

Our message hasn’t changed. And the repertoire hasn’t changed. It’s just with a little less, well, desperation. m

alice aUsTin, To a STar in The yard

The Urgency, The Urgency (Island/Def Jam Records, CD)

(Cotton Pony, CD) Once upon a time, Burlington’s Zola Turn was widely presumed to be the next big thing to come out of Vermont, following in the footsteps of other successful local acts such as Belizbeha and, of course, Phish. Forged in the midst of Burlington’s much-ballyhooed 1990s alt-rock heyday, the group made national waves during its seven-year run, signing with Gold Circle Records and scoring a distribution deal with Sony-BMG. But major-label bliss was short lived.

In 2001 Gold Circle dumped the band — all of its rock acts, actually — and Zola Turn called it quits the following year.

The group’s front woman, Alice Austin — now based in Cambridge, Mass. — has gone on to modest success, playing with regional acts such as The Lavas and Queen Tangerine. But the sort of national acclaim she achieved with Zola Turn has proven elusive. However, should her old fans get wind of her new solo album, To a Star in the Yard, that stands a fighting chance of changing.

On the whole, the album is a striking collection of alt-rock gems that will no doubt inspire bouts of wistful nostalgia among those who remember the era fondly. That is not to say Austin is stuck in a flannellined rut. Rather, she simply embraces her roots, dated though they may be. Refreshingly, she imbues her music with the no-frills sensibility that was a hallmark of the genre — and by extension, Zola Turn — both sonically and lyrically. Or put another way, you can take Siouxsie Sioux out of the Banshees, but you can’t take the banshee out of Siouxsie Sioux. And in case you were wondering, Austin still wails.

From slow-burning album opener “Wings to Me” through tracks such as bottom-heavy scorcher “Never Cry Halo” and the sneering “Sharp Side of the Knife,” Austin proves she’s still a force. What’s more, she seems to have matured as a lyricist. While never lacking for poetic grit, she manages to temper her observations with a subtle intimacy heretofore unseen, at least in the Zola Turn catalog. The result is startling, especially on cuts such as the bruising, Blackhearts-esque rocker “Vicarious” and swooning album closer “Blink and We Miss.”

Alice Austin celebrates the release of her new disc with her backing band, The Stark Raving Mad — which includes her sis and former Zola Turn bassist Julia Austin, and Venus Envy/Red Telephone guitarist Sean Toohey — this Saturday, June 13, at The Monkey House. Local indie-pop upstarts Lendway and ambient auteurs Tapis Bleu open the show.

Dan Bolles

I want to hate this. But I can’t.

Though it runs contrary to my instincts, the plain and simple truth is that in the age of indier-than-thou hipsterism, the term “major label” carries with it a dubious stigma. And rightly so, given the general cookiecutter crapitude of the fare issuing from the gilded studios of Los Angeles. Thus, it was with some trepidation that I approached the self-titled debut from recent Island/Def Jam Records signees The Urgency. Though such skepticism may be warranted — and is justified at certain points on the album — it would be unfair to dismiss Vermont’s other major-label band simply on the basis of who cuts their paychecks. Or that they’re getting paychecks.

Make no mistake, the disc bears an undeniable factory-fresh scent that can only come from, well, a factory. Still, The Urgency are hardly airbrushed automatons.

The album begins with the band’s first single, “Fingertips,” which has gotten a healthy amount of airplay on MTV. The radio-ready tune is catchy as hell, as you would expect. It’s the sort of hormonedriven romp that could easily find its way onto the soundtrack of the next American Pie flick, or whatever teen sex comedy franchise the kids are watching these days. But it is also — brace yourselves — really good.

Vocalist Tyler Gurwicz has chops on top of chops. The onetime musical-theater major has remarkable range. And even at his most histrionic, he is always in control, delivering soaring lines with seeming ease. He is also one cheekily subversive lyricist, which is likely the reason the disc comes stamped with a charming little “Parental Advisory” sticker.

Remember those?

Gurwicz’s backing band is predictably tight — whatever else one might think of major labels, they rarely allow sloppy acts to hit the airwaves. The Urgency trade primarily in a kind of melodic post-hardcore, which requires turn-on-adime precision to perform well. And in moments — the fist-pumping anthem “Crimes,” the Latin-tinged “Move You” or my favorite cut, “Revolution” — they display an artistic aptitude well beyond that of many heavyrotation bands on The Buzz.

Catch The Urgency at the Higher Ground Showcase Lounge this Friday, June 12, with Boston’s Build a Machine and Burlington indie-pop darlings In Memory of Pluto.

homes, sweet homes With summer just in reach, loads of people are gearing up to divide time between home and, say, a summer cabin or a beachfront property. But what about splitting the year between Waltham, Vt., and Damascus, Syria? Believe it or not, at least one couple can raise their hands to that: Damascus native Mouawia Bouzo and his wife Deborah Felmeth have been hauling their bags from the Green Mountain State to the southwest Asian country bordering the Mediterranean each year since 1996, and they’ve got the stories to show for it. Bouzo and Felmeth (she’s known around Vermont as a musician, weaver, photographer and yoga teacher) share photos of the other place they call home during a slideshow presentation in Shelburne this week, while explaining their experiences living in what’s said to be the oldest continuously inhabited city in the world. The talk will touch on the complex relations between the U.S. and Syria, but will also explore the Arab country’s extensive history and its must-see sites. Folks with wanderlust won’t need to wander far for a taste of the outside world.

Thinking about animal adoption usually brings to mind images of cuddly kittens and large-eyed pups at the local shelter — not 700-pound broncos and burros straight out of the grasslands.

But these hoofed critters need shelter, too.

“Wild horses and burros have virtually no natural FRI.12 & SAT.13 predators and their herd sizes can double about every four years,” says the Bureau of Land Management’s Eastern States director, Juan Palma. The BLM counteracts colt overcrowding by gathering up excess ungulates from areas where good eats may become scarce and placing them in private care. More than 60 unbroken stallions and a few donkeys are up for adoption in Rutland this weekend, joining some 200,000 that have found homes in this manner since 1971. Qualified adopters — those with sturdy corrals and proper trailers are golden; those whose last equine experience was with My Little Pony, not so much — can bring home a mustang for a steal. Now, who’s cowboy enough?

WILD HORSE AND BURRO ADOPTION

NO NEED TO FEAR! UNDERDOG IS HERE! Who says the underdog never comes out on top? There have been so many dark horses and second fiddles in show biz that George Haimsohn and Robin Miller created an off-Broadway musical, Dames at Sea, in 1966 to parody all those flashy 1930s productions in which the wide-eyed, big-hearted Broadway understudy saves the show and becomes a star. St. Michael’s Playhouse director and choreographer Keith Andrews, now in his fifth year, brings Dames to the McCarthy Arts Center, with Lindsay Sutton as small-town gal Ruby, who arrives in the big city — New York, of course — with “nothing but tap shoes in her suitcase and a prayer in her heart” for fame in the limelight. The twist? The show doesn’t take place on any Broadway scaffold; the drama — onstage and off — is aboard a ship. The New York City Drama League recently named the Playhouse “one of the best regional theater companies in America,” proving that Ruby is not the only longshot winner in this production.

Who was the man behind the “Monkey” trial? Though he died in 1938, folks can still peek inside the controversial court cases the celebrated — and often hated — attorney Clarence Darrow once defended. California-based Gary Anderson demands full attention in an intense, one-man theatrical show (now in its fifth year) that recreates Darrow’s most famous courtroom events, in which the eight-hour workday was won, the first child-labor laws were investigated, creationism was defended, and more. But it’s not all fun and games; Anderson’s carefully crafted, self-described “warts-and-all” monologue also shows the flaws of the press-proclaimed “lion of the courtroom,” including his “whiskey-andwomen habit”. Are the history books right about Darrow? You be the judge of that.

Dear Mistress Maeve, As you’ve alluded to many times, Burlington is a small place where everyone seems to know one another, making the dating scene tricky. I recently experienced an awkward Burlington dating scenario, and I would love to get your take on it.

I had been out on a couple dates with this guy, and things seemed promising. Obviously, we hadn’t had any talk about exclusivity yet, so I wasn’t really surprised when I saw him out at a restaurant with another woman I know casually. I didn’t care that he was out with another girl, but I felt stressed out because I didn’t know what to do or say. I ended up ignoring him completely, not wanting to make the situation any more awkward. However, it felt strange not to walk up and say hello, like I would do with any other friends. It was really uncomfortable — how should I have handled it?

Signed, Dating Decorum Dear D.D., I applaud your calm attitude toward dating. Some people would be upset by seeing their new love interest out on the town with someone else, but that’s how dating goes — sometimes you have to cast a wide net to catch that special fish. The problem is, in a town like Burlington, the fishing pond is only so big.

You were right not to approach their table — given the circumstances, it would be weird for you to make a cameo appearance on their date. However, I would have gone with a casual wave and a smile in their direction at an opportune moment. The nonchalant acknowledgment of their presence shows your confidence and grace under pressure, while completely ignoring them could wrongly indicate to him that you’re jealous or angry.

Gone Fishing,

mm

To the half-marathon runner who I met a few years ago. You had just finished & were catching your breath when I asked, “Are you OK?” You are still as pretty as the day I met you. I am happy that you have a happy family & your girls are beautiful. When: Sunday, May 24, 2009. Where: At the end of the halfmarathon. You: Woman. Me: Man. #905847 “You in the Green” “You in the green” was what you had shouted.

Thank you for the spontaneous salutation & empowering words that followed. Your smile was infectious & I’ve carried it with me since.
