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. Matthew Burke CHARLOTTE

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. Daniel Ronfeld

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?

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

fully support them. 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

do,” said Lu. “I couldn’t allow him to miss out.” 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. Studio Shuffle — More changes are in the works at the state’s largest TV station, “Vermont’s own” WCAX-TV. Two weeks ago, longtime news director and anchor

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. “He’s a good runner and has a chance at winning just like I

months ago. No official word yet on whether the prez has accepted the invite. 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. To cap it off, finance chairwoman for the Democratic National Committee is Jane Stetson of Norwich — she was handpicked for the job by Obama. She and her husband William Stetson held an early fundraiser for him. If I were you, I’d keep your summer weekend plans, shall we say, flexible. Silencing the Critics — Another panel member resigned from the dysfunctional Vermont Commission on Native American Affairs just as last week’s report in “Fair Game” went to press. Paul Bell is the fourth member in less than a year to step down because of conflicts with three gubernatorial appointees. “I hope that this sends a strong signal to both the Vermont legislative assembly and also to the governor’s office that they really need to step up to the plate and address the Native issues in Vermont and to finally fix the broken Commission,” said former chairman Donald Stevens.

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. “My aesthetic style is to combine fabrics in unusual ways that are

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. Another area apron maker, 34-year-old Sarah Kaeck of New Haven — who calls her company Yellow Bird Designs — has also

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

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.

The Skinny Pancake... 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.”

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

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.

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

from creating an Escoffier-style aspic dish — hold the hooves. 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

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

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. Dan Bolles

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. ‘Syria: Where Is the Path to Understanding?’

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. ‘CLARENCE DARROW’S SEARCH FOR JUSTICE’

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,

Foxy Lady at the Mart I come into Meadow Mart almost every day, and I am blessed with seeing your beautiful face some evenings. You’re the delicious curvy blonde in your late 30s. Me, I’m just a regular joe from Montpelier. You are one seriously hot mama! When: Saturday, May 30, 2009. Where: Meadow Mart. You: Woman. Me: Man. #905853 You Still Haven’t noticed me! I wonder when you’ll look my way & see that I’m the one for you. My eyes are very blue & yours are green. I think you are so funny & I like your deep voice. I hope you’ll notice me & at least say hi when you’re passing me by. When: Friday, May 29, 2009. Where: at work. You: Man. Me: Woman. #905848 Are you ok? 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. What’s your story? Care to share it over coffee/ tea? When: Sunday, May 24, 2009. Where: in front of City Market. You: Woman. Me: Man. #905846

fairly quiet and she found shelter life quite overwhelming and scary (with all the sounds and people and other animals ... oh, my). Even so, the staff here knew there was something special! After moving into an office to help her adjust, she began to show her lap-cat side and loves to have her head scratched and her belly rubbed. She would make a great companion for a quiet, calm household seeking an affectionate new family member. All in all, she is an all around sweetheart, ready to love and be loved!

visit me at HSCC, 142 Kindness Court, South Burlington, Tuesday through Friday, from 1 to 6 p.m., or Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. 862-0135.
