TODAYâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S FORECAST: WIND As a young woman concerned about not only Vermontâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s energy future, but the right of future generations to inherit a clean and safe Vermont, your article was of particular relevance to me [â&#x20AC;&#x153;Blowing It?â&#x20AC;? May 21].

For decades, Vermont has relied on dirty, dangerous energy sources. With Vermont Yankeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s license set to expire in 2015 and the contracts with Hydro-QuĂŠbec to end in the next 10 years, now is the time to turn to clean, safe, renewable energy.

Vermont wind farms can provide 20 percent of our stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s electricity needs by 2015.

Wind farms provide a safe and affordable source of power for Vermonters, as the unchanging price of wind allows electric utilities to lock in long-term, affordable contracts for renewable power.

We need comprehensive legislation making it the policy of our state to promote growth in the wind-energy sector, setting goals for our reliance on wind power. Moreover, we need leadership as we grow a â&#x20AC;&#x153;green economy.â&#x20AC;? Gov. Douglas has not only failed to provide Vermonters with any real options for wind projects; he has also failed to provide our communities with the tax bases that result from such initiatives. Other states are

moving forward in this area, creating green jobs in the face of a gloomy economy; Vermont remains at a standstill.

In light of Vermontâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rich history of environmental awareness and action, we need to remain at the forefront of the transition to clean energy. To do so, we need to act now.

Becky Burke MONTPELIER

HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM I was in Chateauguay last week, and I saw the windmills [â&#x20AC;&#x153;Blowing It?â&#x20AC;? May 21]. It is one thing to see them for five minutes and another to live right next to them. I also noticed that this area has three jails within 30 minutesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; drive.

Paul Kenyon explains the reality of windmills. What he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mention is that windmill parks are located in economically disadvantaged regions, near farmers who own a lot of land and see an opportunity for extra dollars. The situation in QuĂŠbec is the same. Dams owned by Hydro-QuĂŠbec are not considered â&#x20AC;&#x153;green,â&#x20AC;? so for them to buy energy from windmills is good for their image. It is sexy. QuĂŠbec doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need windmills.

Promoters have made huge promises to people in QuĂŠbec and still do; promises they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t keep, one of them being job

creation. Once these windmills are installed and you have signed a complicated contract, you cannot go back. They will be there for a long time, and what happens to the real estate value?

Many farmers are being pressured by windmill promoters and their municipalities to put them up on their land. It often divides the community.

Windmills will not save anyone from our energy problems.

Energy efficiency would be a first big step, and educating people about simple things they can do that can make a big difference in their energy consumption. Here is a funny little document that might get people thinking: www. storyofstuff.com.

[FOOD]

Pickle in a Bag

MOST POPULAR STORIES LAST WEEK ON THE SEVEN DAYS WEBSITE:

The goal is to steer you in the direction of reliable summer fun that may be quirky, essential or off the beaten track. It beats sitting in traffic â&#x20AC;&#x201D; with gas at $4 a gallon â&#x20AC;&#x201D; en route to the Cape.

[POLITICS]

On my whirlwind trip to the Southern U.S. a couple of weeks ago, I came across an old favorite food packaged in an unusual way: A single, chunky dill pickle, swimming in brine, inside a plastic bag.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Taste Test: Nothing But Noodlesâ&#x20AC;? by Suzanne Podhaizer (6/4/08) â&#x20AC;&#x153;VIDEO: Green Mountain Derby Damesâ&#x20AC;? by Eva Sollberger (6/4/08) â&#x20AC;&#x153;VIDEO: Sex and the Cityâ&#x20AC;? by Eva Sollberger (6/4/08) â&#x20AC;&#x153;Free Will Astrologyâ&#x20AC;? by Rob Brezsny (6/4/08) â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fair Gameâ&#x20AC;? by Shay Totten (6/4/08)

Since my two siblings and I are fanatical about pickled foods (artichokes, olives, cucumbers, beans and so on), I just had to invest $1.49 to acquire the 5-calorie, â&#x20AC;&#x153;cholesterol-freeâ&#x20AC;? delight, which also boasts a generous quantity of yellow #5.

I brought PIB home to Vermont, where I was able to wow my co-workers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A pickle? In a bag?â&#x20AC;? they asked.

It turns out that my very own pickle in a bag was flavored with â&#x20AC;&#x153;hot dill.â&#x20AC;? It was firm of texture, although not as crisp as a Claussenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s model, and was spicy enough to make my mouth tingly for a few minutes. Since the pickles are shelf-stable for up to two years, it could be good to stock up on these, along with duct tape and flashlights, in case of emergencies such as blizzards or terrorist attacks.

If you have an idea for a video, or would like to have your music featured in our videos, contact eva@sevendaysvt.com

Stuck in Vermont: Panting pooches paraded through Burlington last weekend to benefit the Chittenden County Humane Society.

Loutube News: Lou Armistead asks, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Should students stick around for the summer in Burlington?â&#x20AC;?

t would be hard to cast someone better to represent “redblooded Americans” on-air than Josh Rushing. At least, the Pentagon’s Central Command thought so in 2003, when it chose Rushing as its official spokesperson in the Arab media during the Iraq invasion.

Rushing, then a Marine Corps press officer, grew up in the tiny town of Lone Star, Texas, where his father is the fire chief and his mom serves on the city council.

As he puts it, “I joined the Marines because I grew up believing in civic service.”

If Rushing’s story sounds familiar, it’s probably because he was featured prominently in the 2004 documentary Control Room, about the Arab satellite news network Al Jazeera. At the time, Rushing had no idea the movie was being made. But shortly after its release, Rushing resigned after 17 years in the Marines, primarily because the military ordered him to stop speaking publicly about the press coverage of the war.

Several months later, Rushing was hired as a “presenter,” or correspondent, for Al Jazeera English in Washington, D.C., where he’s worked ever since. He admits he hasn’t been following the controversy over Burlington Telecom’s recent move to pull Al Jazeera English off the air. Rushing has been traveling the globe for months working on a six-part series called “On War with Josh Rushing.” He bills it as “a shamelessly intellectual look at war as a universal force.”

JOSH RUSHING

missions are. Al Jazeera Arabic’s mission is to report the world for an Arabic-speaking audience.

That’s a regional news service. Our mission is to report the world to anyone in the world who speaks

I wish this were a national debate, because so much of the animosity is based on patently false claims.

JOSH RUSHING, AL JAZEERA ENGLISH

This week, Rushing canceled a 90-minute talk he was scheduled to give to 250 senior officers at Joint Forces Command in Norfolk in order to be in Burlington for Wednesday night’s public hearing on Al Jazeera. Seven Days spoke to Rushing by phone last week and asked him to address some of the criticisms of his network, including claims that it’s anti-American, anti-Israel and a mouthpiece for Al Qaeda.

SEVEN DAYS: Is Al Jazeera Arabic fundamentally different from Al Jazeera English in its tone, nuance or content?

JOSH RUSHING: It’s tough for me [to answer], because I can’t understand [Arabic] well enough to know exactly what they’re saying. But I do watch it a lot and the pictures tell the story on television. The real difference in the networks — and they are different networks — is what their

96 Church St. Burlington 864.2800 2x6-stella051408.indd 1

5/12/08 3:41:24 PM

English, which is much more of a global audience . . . So they may report different stories than we report, or even the same story . . . in a different way.

SD: Editorially, they’re independent from one another?

JR: That’s true.

SD: Does the Qatar government influence or censor your content?

JR: I was one of the very first people hired at Al Jazeera English, and in my entire experience here in three years, I’ve never been aware of any influence whatsoever that the government has put on the network to cover something a certain way, or not cover something a certain way.

The charter we’re set up on is kind of stolen from the BBC. It . . . sets up an editorial license to report on whatever we want to report on. And there have

been significant examples of [Al Jazeera] turning that spotlight on the Qatari government.

SD: Currently, Al Jazeera English is available on only two cable systems in the United States. Is that because Americans don’t want it, or that cable systems are afraid of alienating subscribers?

JR: I happened to be in on the distribution meetings before we launched [in November 2006.]

It was much less a matter of politics and much more an economic situation. [The U.S. cable systems] essentially said, “We have the numbers to prove that Americans don’t care about international news. That’s the same reason we’re not going to let the BBC World in, or put CNN International on its own channel.” They considered us a lowviewership channel. And they’re in a bandwidth crunch, cable more so than satellite. They’re very reluctant to give up that much bandwidth for a [highdefinition] channel that won’t make them much money.

SD: The same argument has been made for removing Al Jazeera from Burlington Telecom. Is that a valid criticism?

JR: Here’s where I think they’re wrong. In the 1980s, Ted Turner wasn’t a genius for starting a 24-hour news channel [CNN]. He was a genius for figuring out how to get it distributed. That was unusual because everyone said, “Who wants to watch news at work all day long?” But he knew before the distributors knew what was coming. I think we’re in a similar place today. As the

world is becoming more globalized, as people in Indiana know that the economy of India affects them, they’re going to want to know what’s happening in India.

I think there’s a marketplace out there.

SD: Where else does Al Jazeera air?

JR: It also plays in many buildings in Washington, D.C. . . . What’s funny about that is, the Pentagon gets it and they watch it. My producer was at a dinner party the other night and a woman came up and said, “My daughter works at the CIA and they all watch Al Jazeera and they love it.” I got [an email] a couple of weeks ago from a Marine in Kabul, Afghanistan. He said they have Al Jazeera on in the gym and they love it.

SD: Why do military personnel watch it?

JR: They watch the American news and they feel like Americans have often forgotten that they’re even there. Now, to get on [American] cable news, it’s got to be about the election or it’s not going to get on. And these guys are there fighting a war! When they watch Al Jazeera English, they’re getting a real sense of what’s happening in the world . . . Anyone who has a real personal stake in international affairs — and it’s hard to argue that anyone has more of a personal stake than military people — they are actually fans of what they see on Al Jazeera English.

SD: Does Al Jazeera broadcast anti-American or anti-Israeli propaganda?

JR: I was just with a two-star general in Iraq who was showing me around the detainee opera-

tions there, which he’s in charge of. And when we were at Camp Buka, the largest detainee facility in Iraq, he pulled together all his commanders [who watch] Al Jazeera over there . . . Anyone who says this is propaganda for some Arab perspective just simply has not seen it. I guarantee you.

SD: What was your own impression of Al Jazeera prior to going to Iraq?

JR: I thought negative things about Al Jazeera as well until I was assigned by Central Command to be the face on Al Jazeera during the invasion in 2003. And being there and actually seeing it, I came to realize it was not what I thought it was. It was not what [then Secretary of Defense Donald] Rumsfeld was calling it.

SD: He accused Al Jazeera of showing beheadings.

JR: They have never shown a beheading, and that’s a very simple fact that’s easy to prove. The European papers that printed that have since apologized for it.

SD: What about the allegation that your network is a mouthpiece for Osama bin Laden and typically is the first to air his threats against Americans?

JR: Al Qaeda used to send its tapes to Al Jazeera, but that doesn’t happen anymore. Anyone who’s watched in the last year and a half [knows that] those messages show up online first.

And they do that because they’re frustrated with Al Jazeera . . . Bin Laden has called Al Jazeera proWestern, pro-Zionist. [Ayman] alZawahiri, the founder of Al Qaeda in Iraq, called for attacks against Al Jazeera in Iraq for not calling his movement a Mujahideen. So,

the people who say Al Jazeera is the mouthpiece of Al Qaeda are not reading anything that Al Qaeda is saying.

6/6/08 11:20:48 AM

SD: What do you hear from Israelis?

JR: I’ve never been to Israel, but there’s an easy way to look at this. The Jerusalem Post ran a poll that said more Israelis watch Al Jazeera than CNN or Fox. Israel pulled BBC World off its system and put Al Jazeera English in its place . . . Most of the Arab world had never seen a Jew until Al Jazeera put them on doing interviews in Hebrew . . . Al Jazeera broke that taboo. It’s one of the reasons bin Laden and Zawahiri call it pro-Western and pro-Zionist . . . Anyone who lives in Israel, anyone who really cares about the issues over in Israel, Palestine and the Middle East knows that Al Jazeera is the voice of credibility in that region . . .

SD: Is it good that Vermonters are debating the content of your network?

JR: Yeah, I definitely encourage this debate. I wish this were a national debate, because so much of the animosity is based on patently false claims . . . Once you’re presented with the truth . . . you just have to acknowledge what the truth actually is . . . Mind you, Al Jazeera Arabic has been broadcast in America for 10 years now on the Dish satellite system . . . The same people who told you that it’s the mouthpiece of Al Qaeda and that it shows beheadings are the same people who told you that there were WMDs in Iraq, that Saddam had ties to [9/11] and that, by the end of 2003, there’d only be 30,000 troops left in Iraq. >

stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tracks and bridges. Despite the urgency of escalating fuel prices, Dill says those infrastructure upgrades are intermediate and long-term challenges for the Rail Program. Ide, however, asserts that track upgrades need to be a priority for the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economy: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to make the shippers and receivers in Vermont as competitive as they can be, and the component that I can add value to is the movement of freight.â&#x20AC;?

On the passenger side of the conversation, Ideâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s five-year vision for Vermont rail travel includes

ist,â&#x20AC;? he asserts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Another year has gone by, and they still havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t spent any of the $30 million allocation that we got from Jeffords.

Still no leadership and no vision.â&#x20AC;?

Moulton adds that the costs of steel and other infrastructure components have risen steeply in the past year, while the earmarked funds remain the same.

Dill is aware of that criticism, but urges patience. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to be very careful with that money, because we want to make sure we have the right prioritization system in place,â&#x20AC;? he says.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;an improved rail corridor on the western side of the state that allows passenger service into downtown Burlington.â&#x20AC;? He also wants to re-evaluate the botched purchase of the Diesel Multiple Units, the smaller and more efficient self-propelled passenger cars. The legislature appropriated $17.5 million for the cars last year, but the manufacturer, Colorado Railcar, wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t agree to the zero-risk financial guarantee required in the legislative language. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think we essentially backed away from that commitment for, in my mind, the less-than-perfect reason,â&#x20AC;? Ide says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If that equipment is going to provide us with the same or better service for lesser cost, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to look hard at it.â&#x20AC;?

Indeed, Dill adds that restructuring passenger service will be Ideâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most pressing challenge, given Amtrakâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s increasing costs and the depressed economic forecast for Fiscal Year 2009, which cut the transportation budget by $4 million between January and April this year.

Considering that grim reality, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good time for a new, enthusiastic person to manage the Rail Program. Moulton says Ide is â&#x20AC;&#x153;not a bureaucrat, so maybe heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll actually do something.â&#x20AC;? >

! " # $ % #!

Ide expects to put his legislative experience and contacts to good use, as he mediates the criticisms from rail advocates and the budgetary limitations imposed on the Agency of Transportation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of the advantages that I bring to the job,â&#x20AC;? he says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;is that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m familiar with a number of the players right now. I think I bring credibility to the job thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be very helpful.â&#x20AC;?

Ide also brings a technical understanding of Vermontâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s energy landscape, where he says transportation and space heating represent the best chance for efficiency improvements. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I look at the opportunity to be involved in rail and transportation as an opportunity to have an impact in the carbonfootprint conversation,â&#x20AC;? he says.

A major portion of that conversation is the rate at which truck freight can be transferred to rail.

Moving freight over the railroads uses about eight times less energy than moving it over the highway.

With diesel prices approaching $5 per gallon, competition from rail shippers will soon make trucks prohibitively expensive.

But before Vermont can take advantage of railâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s relative efficiency, it must spend money to increase the weight limits on the

! & $ ' ( & $ &) * &

perfect storm of high fuel prices, deteriorating roads and a growing public dialogue about climate change is making Vermontâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rail infrastructure more important than ever. At the same time, transportation revenues, which derive largely from the gas and sales and use taxes, are decreasing. Into this complicated set of circumstances comes Robert Ide, who has been appointed manager of the Rail Program by Neale Lunderville, the Secretary of Transportation. As the person charged with implementing the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rail plan â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in other words, the guy who gets stuff done â&#x20AC;&#x201D; he will play a critical role in Vermontâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rail future.

Ide, 57, is currently the director of energy efficiency for the Department of Public Service, a post heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s held for five years. Before that, he spent 10 years in the Senate and eight years on the Senate Transportation Committee, â&#x20AC;&#x153;where,â&#x20AC;? he says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think I was viewed as the rail specialist.â&#x20AC;?

That was most likely due to the hands-on experience he acquired while helping to run his familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s agricultural feed-and-grain business in St. Johnsbury, a heavily rail-dependent operation.

Ideâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new boss will be David Dill, who will become Deputy Secretary of Transportation in August when Lunderville replaces Michael Smith, whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s retiring from his position as secretary of administration for Gov. Douglas.

Aside from managing the Rail Program, Dill expects Ide to be the spokesman for the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s position on rail issues and to communicate with the public, the legislature and rail advocacy groups on policy and budgetary matters. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He needs to be able to articulate the vision, if you will,â&#x20AC;? Dill says.

That vision is coming under increasing scrutiny, because VTrans has yet to use the funds that former Sen. Jim Jeffords procured four years ago for improvements to the western corridor, especially the track between Burlington and Rutland. Rick Moulton, a member of the Governorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Rail Council, says heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hopeful about Ideâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s appointment to rail manager, but was not impressed with the Rail Programâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s past performance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The same criticisms of the state ex-

ust when it looked as if spring was going to last as long as the Democratic presidential primary, someone turned up the heat â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and in more ways than one.

As we went to press last week, it appeared Sen. Hillary Clinton might challenge Sen. Barack Obama all the way to the Democratic National Convention in Denver. No such luck. Cooler heads prevailed, and Clinton ended her campaign Saturday and endorsed Obama.

The big winner from the long primary was former Gov. Howard Dean, whose failed presidential bid in 2004 propelled him into the post of chairman of the Democratic National Committee. Dean then succeeded in his strategy to build party organizations in all 50 states. Despite criticism from Clinton loyalists, including Paul Begala and James Carville, Dean stayed the course and the party made tremendous mid-term gains in 2006; more recently, Dems picked up two more House seats in special elections. Begala once said Deanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s effort was nothing more than â&#x20AC;&#x153;hiring a bunch of staff people to wander around Utah and Mississippi and pick their nose.â&#x20AC;? Guess where they picked up those former GOP House seats? Louisiana and Mississippi.

Obama is not exercising his prerogative to replace Dean as party chairman. Rather,

County Dems announced a write-in campaign to help get Pollina the Democratic nomination in the September primary.

Pollina was flattered, but is staying a pure, unadulterated Progressive â&#x20AC;&#x201D; at least for now. Meanwhile, writer, logger and activist Michael Colby has decided not to challenge Pollina in a Progressive primary.

Maybe a run for Congress?

Symington â&#x20AC;&#x201D; who was Clintonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s campaign co-chair in Vermont â&#x20AC;&#x201D; is simply ignoring Pollina, focusing instead on incumbent Republican Gov. Jim Douglas.

The outgoing House Speaker recently sided with President George Bushâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s anemic Environmental Protection Agency in faulting the governor for his administrationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s failure to clean up Lake Champlain.

Most Democrats Endorse . . .

Symington! Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Democratic state committee meeting garnered little press, but the party issued a press release Saturday afternoon exclaiming that the Vermont Democratic State Committee endorsed â&#x20AC;&#x201D; drumroll, please â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Symington for governor! OK, no shocker, but there was something missing: the word â&#x20AC;&#x153;unanimous.â&#x20AC;? Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because Symington received 34 yeas and two nays, with one abstention during the secret-ballot vote.

Sen. Obama appreciates the hard work that Chairman Dean has done to grow our party at the grassroots level.

heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s working in tandem with Dean to show that in order to win elections, you have to do more than duke it out in a few battleground states.

As Obama campaign spokesman Bill Burton told Talking Points Memo: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sen. Obama appreciates the hard work that Chairman Dean has done to grow our party at the grassroots level and looks forward to working with him as the chairman of the Democratic Party as we go forward.â&#x20AC;?

Obama strategist Paul Tewes was quickly installed at the DNC to coordinate efforts.

While Dean probably wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be considered as a vice-presidential running mate, speculation is mounting about what role he might play in an Obama administration. Could the doctor end up being Secretary of Human Services?

Democrats Endorse . . . Pollina? In Vermont, we have our own Obama v.

Clinton battle going â&#x20AC;&#x201D; between Democrat Gaye Symington and Progressive Anthony Pollina.

Last Thursday, Pollina announced his support for Obama. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doing all he can to ride the nomineeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coattails here in Vermont, where Obama bested Clinton by a nearly two-to-one margin.

Two days before a major Democratic state committee meeting, several Lamoille

The committee also left open the chance for Pollina to address the group, rejecting a carefully worded motion to grant such privileges only to Democrats seeking the nomination for governor.

One inside observer said Symington may be the first Democrat candidate for governor who didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t receive the unanimous support of the state committee.

Despite the lack of unanimity, Symingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s campaign manager Jill Krowinski said money is coming in steadily, as are the offers to host house parties for the candidate. In addition, the campaign is ditching its temporary website and unveiling a more dynamic one this week, along with a racecar at â&#x20AC;&#x153;the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s site of excitement,â&#x20AC;? Thunder Road in Barre. The car? Lucky No. 9.

Symington also has a new campaign staffer. Michael Carrese has joined her as communications director. Most recently from Albany, Carrese is a 1987 graduate of St. Michaelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s College and is married to Tricia Coates, the Vermont field director for Democratic Rep. Peter Welch. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also an â&#x20AC;&#x2122;87 SMC grad.

According to several people familiar with his background, Carrese has solid skills in communications and is well known in the

Nuclear Hot Potato â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Douglas is no Eliot Spitzer, but his ongoing love affair with Entergy might qualify him for Carreseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parody.

As â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fair Gameâ&#x20AC;? went to press last week, Symington and Senate President Pro Tem Peter Shumlin (D-Windham) were chiding Douglas for the way heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s handling the cost of cleaning up Vermont Yankee once the plant is decommissioned.

At issue is a response by Douglasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Department of Public Service to Entergyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s massive corporate restructuring plan. Entergy wants to sell its six Northeast nuclear power plants to a new company, Enexus, LLC, which would be owned by Entergy

when it looked like there was going to be a surplus in the fund, Entergy not only claimed it as their own, but tried to keep the former owners (including several Vermont utilities) from sharing in the spoils. Now that it looks like the decommissioning fund may fall short of what is needed to clean up Vermont Yankee, Entergy is trying to absolve itself of responsibility for it.

Public Service Commissioner David Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe Entergy is trying to skip out on the clean-up: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Under the previous owners, ratepayers were on the hook for decommissioning. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a dangerous stretch to say that somehow ratepayers are going to be handed a bill here.â&#x20AC;?

Neil Sheehan, a spokesman for the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, echoed Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Regardless of how Entergy wants to structure the proposed spin-off, it would retain responsibility for

We were hoping it would be called â&#x20AC;&#x153;The C&E Tax Holidayâ&#x20AC;? but you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have everything.

shareholders but remain a standalone company. The Douglas administration wants a â&#x20AC;&#x153;keep wellâ&#x20AC;? provision from Entergy in case Enexus, which will take on $4.5 billion in debt, gets into financial trouble. Douglas has also asked Entergy to lower its asking price so Enexus can keep more cash on hand.

After Entergy announced the restructuring plan earlier this year, lawmakers pushed through a bill requiring the Louisiana company to top off the decommissioning fund with an additional $400 million. But Douglas vetoed it after the session, claiming the additional costs levied by the legislature could result in higher electricity rates for Vermonters.

Um, Governor, wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lowering the sale price as you suggest do the same thing?

Shumlin and Symington are crying foul, claiming Douglas is ignoring the potential negative effects restructuring could have on the decommissioning fund, which, as of March 31, contained $427 million. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re concerned that Entergy is trying to pocket that money to cover spent-fuel storage costs, and will try to absolve itself of any responsibility to clean up Vermont Yankee, a task that could cost $800 million.

Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve asked the Public Service Board to consider the risks posed to ratepayers by Entergyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plan.

You might recall that, after it bought Vermont Yankee in 2001, Entergy told the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission the liability for decommissioning the plant, â&#x20AC;&#x153;as well as related decommissioning trust funds of approximately $280 million,â&#x20AC;? would become Entergyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. Back then,

decommissioning costs,â&#x20AC;? Sheehan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If a subsidiary, i.e., Entergy Vermont Yankee, LLC, did not have sufficient funding, we would, if necessary, go after the parent company to make up any shortfalls.â&#x20AC;?

Vermont Yankee spokesman Rob Williams said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Only spent fuel storage costs incurred after the plant is permanently shut down would come from the decommissioning fund.â&#x20AC;?

The NRC started reviewing Entergyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s restructuring plan last July, a process that Sheehan said takes about a year. Meanwhile, in New York, the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attorney general is raising some serious questions about Entergyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s restructuring; the Indian Point reactor, just outside of New York City, is part of that deal.

Tough questions from an elected official about a nuclear power plant? What a concept.

Charlie & Ernie for Governor? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Gov. Douglas signed his salestax holiday into law on WVMTAMâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Charlie & Ernie Showâ&#x20AC;?

On the Hot Seat — Fiscal management is emerging as the main bone of contention in the continuing dispute between Winooski City Manager Joshua Handverger and Police Chief Steve McQueen. The showdown chewed up three days last week, including a Saturday session that began at 8 a.m. More hearings are scheduled for next week.

There have been no major revelations yet. To date it’s mostly been the boys in blue taking the stand against the chief and getting quizzed by veteran attorney Joe McNeil. The main gripe is the radio system upgrade, although McQueen and his attorney Pietro Lynn claim the chief didn’t really oversee the contract bid or its management. There seems to be consensus that the system was shoddy, cost the city thousands of dollars too much, and put officers’ lives at risk.

Kudos — or condolences— to Burlington Free Press reporter Matt Sutkoski for live-blogging the event and actually making it seem interesting — no easy task.

If you’re really interested, go to www.cctv.org and click “Watch TV.” The fine folks at Channel 17 are posting each hearing online after they tape it. Welcome to the 21st century, folks.

Denver Bound — Last Saturday, the 10 Vermont delegates who were elected to attend the Democratic National Convention picked the final seven attendees: Shumlin, Sen. Sara Kittell and Secretary of State Deborah Markowitz got the nod, and Markowitz was unanimously chosen to be the delegation chairwoman. Obama activists Linda Weiss, Kevin Christie and Sherry Merrick are also going to Denver. Tim Briglin was chosen as the alternate.

artin Scorsese’s been there.

Milos Forman, too. But the annual Lake Placid Film Forum bears little resemblance to the paparazzi-ridden chaos of Sundance. It doesn’t even sell advance tickets. It’s a calm weekend in a calm little town — this year, June 12-15 — where you might just see big faces in film.

“We keep the atmosphere as relaxed as possible,” says fest Director Kathleen Carroll. “It’s not one of those pressure cookers where people are trying to get their film picked up by a distributor.” Last year, cult actor/director Steve Buscemi showed up to discuss his movie Interview. When he saw the uncrowded streets, he said, “‘Whoa, this is terrific!’” Carroll recalls.

“Nobody approached him at all. He loved it. He wandered off after the screening and got a bite to eat.”

This year, the LPFF’s guest of honor is director Jonathan Demme, whose long and quirky career took

him from the Roger Corman flick Caged Heat to the Talking Heads concert film Stop Making Sense to the Oscar-winning The Silence of the Lambs and Philadelphia.

On Friday, Demme presents his latest movie, New Home Movies From the Lower 9th Ward, a documentary about individuals rebuilding their New Orleans neighborhoods after Katrina.

nne Callahan belongs to a generation that’s supposedly bagged books in favor of electronic media. But the 27-year-old Middlebury College alum remains very much a woman of the printed page.

She recently launched an old-fashioned publishing business, Graphic Union Press, from her apartment in Harlem. And its debut book — titled Biking the U.S. of Awesomeness — further flouts the conventional thinking of the Digital Age by putting a collection of email messages into the form Johannes Gutenberg pioneered six centuries ago.

The same spirit of contrariness animated the four cyclists — three of them also Midd grads — who chronicle their 4377.5mile, coast-to-coast journey in this slender volume. Most crosscountry bikers pedal from west to east to take advantage of tailwinds. But Nicole Grohoski and friends pushed off from Lubec, Maine, and dismounted 77 days later in Cape Meares, Oregon. “It’s OK to go against the prevailing winds,” Grohoski explains.

She means that figuratively as well as literally. Grohoski and fellow biker Caitlin Prentice (both Class of ’05) note in an appendix to the book that Middlebury College has a narrow view of “success” — namely, a high salary. So one objective of their excellent adventure, the bikers explain, was to prove “it isn’t about stuff” and that “the unconventional can also be successful.”

In their whimsical weekly emails, the bikers tell friends and relatives about some of the oddments they spin by in the U.S. of Awesomeness: the site of the invention of the paper bag in Palatine Bridge, New York; the Lawn Ornament Capital of the World in Michigan; the statue of the Jolly Green Giant in Blue Earth, Min-

nesota; the world’s largest bird feeder in Mitchell, South Dakota.

Callahan, who’s currently studying the history of decorative arts and design at the Bard Graduate Center in Manhattan, notes that Biking the U.S. of Awesomeness is illustrated by another Midd alum, Charles Mahal.

This initial book from Graphic Union Press has the distinction of being one of the last printed by the Stinehour Press, a Northeast Kingdom company that earned a national reputation for its museum-quality work. Founded in 1952, Stinehour closed a couple of months ago — a reflection, perhaps, of the trend away from the printed page that Callahan has set out to defy.

Long an admirer of Stinehour’s exquisite illustrated books, Callahan visited the press’ plant in Lunenberg and was delighted to discover “they were perfectly willing to take on my little baby project.” She says she turned to the company after

failing to find a printer she could work with in New York. “It’s way easier to find a business like this in Vermont,” Callahan said in an interview last Saturday during an appearance in Middlebury.

She placed an order for an 800copy press run — the smallest number that Stinehour could print — for a cost of about $4000. Success in this case will be recouping that expense, at $12 per book. In the first week, she’s sold 25 copies online and at Middlebury’s Vermont Book Store.

It may be an old-fashioned love affair she’s having with the printed word, but Callahan makes no apologies for carrying that torch. “I don’t think books are going to die anytime soon,” she surmises. “Besides, I’m doing what I love doing.” > For more info or to order books, visit fourcallahans.net/sister/ graphicunionpress.

»vignette evening, Carroll says, he’ll show 20 minutes from a concert film in progress, Neil Young Trunk Show.

What brings the famous to upstate New York? Well, it helps that Carroll made a slew of contacts during her tenure as the New York Daily News film critic, from 1962 to 1992.

It also doesn’t hurt that one of the fest’s co-founders is prominent novelist and screenwriter Russell Banks, who’ll interview Demme, then sign books with fellow New York writers Richard Russo and William Kennedy on Saturday.

“We ended up just bringing up our friends,” says Carroll, who grew up in Lake Placid and still summers in the area. She first met Demme in the 1960s when he was a United Artists publicist who hand-delivered press releases to her paper: “He came along one day with a tremendous amount of boyish enthusiasm, none of which he’s lost.”

A newer face at this year’s Forum is Courtney Hunt, writer/di-

rector of the Plattsburgh-filmed drama Frozen River, which won the Grand Jury prize at Sundance but hasn’t hit theaters yet. She and star Melissa Leo introduce the film on Friday.

And, just as they did last year, a contingent of Burlington College students will troop across the lake for the Forum’s 24-Hour Film Competition. (In 2007, they won the Audience Award for their short flick produced on the fly.) Allan Nicholls, head of their program, will be on hand to teach a master class in directing.

Carroll says the LPFF is something she always dreamed of: a festival small enough to give the audience access to the folks behind the camera. “Anyone who’s passionate about film will love this experience.” > LPFF schedule and venue info at www.lakeplacidfilmforum.com. Tickets, sold on site, are $10 per film.

Taking Root, a documentary

by Marlboro filmmakers Alan Dater and Lisa Merton, has been drawing attention this year, winning awards at festivals such as Canada’s Hot Docs.

Merton and Dater gained an unusual degree of access to the movie’s subject, Kenyan activist Wangari Maathai, founder of her nation’s environmentalist Green Belt Movement and the first African woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize. Vermonters can see the film this week at Montpelier’s Savoy Theater, where it shows daily starting June 13. Merton and Dater pop in for a discussion following the 6:30 p.m. show on Saturday, June 14.

Curses, Foiled Again When police in Sheboygan, Wis., stopped a vehicle for improper registration, one of the passengers identified himself by giving a false name, hoping to conceal unpaid traffic citations in another state. The name he gave, however, turned out to have an active felony warrant for vehicular homicide. The passenger then stated his right name, admitting he lied before, only to then be arrested for obstruction. â&#x20AC;˘ Police investigating a break-in at a Hungry Howieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pizza restaurant in Jacksonville, Fla., promptly identified employee Joseph Whittenton as their suspect after a surveillance video showed the burglar wearing his Hungry Howieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s uniform, and the manager recognized Whittenton.

Suspicious bank employees called the checkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s owner, who said the check was written on her account without her permission. Police who took Fuller into custody found marijuana and a .25-caliber handgun in his pockets and said he told them he intended on using the money to start his own record label.

Fashion Flash The track coach at Bracken Christian School in Bulverde, Texas, lost his job after police arrested him in a San Antonio park for exposing himself while holding a Bible and wearing womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s underwear. The police report said Lawrence â&#x20AC;&#x153;Poppyâ&#x20AC;?

Toll-Free Sex A 38-year-old Japanese plumber was arrested for calling a food companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s toll-free number 500 times in 16 months so he could hear the womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s voice on the recording. A police official in Takasaki said the man made 3100 hours worth of free calls that cost the company 4 million yen ($38,730) in phone bills. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He gets excited by the womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s voice on the guidance tape,â&#x20AC;? the official said, adding that the detective investigating the matter did not find the recorded voice particularly arousing.

Wrong Arm of the Law Police in Hales Corner, Wis., maintained an allnight standoff at a house, but the three occupants slept through the one-sided confrontation. The three men, two 19 and one 20, apparently fired some shots

for fun around 1 a.m., then went to bed and never heard police responding to calls about the gunshots. Instead of knocking on the door, officers immediately called in a SWAT team, evacuated neighbors as a precaution and waited for the occupantsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; first move. The men slept soundly until 8:30, then awoke and noticed the police surrounding them. They found out why and peacefully surrendered. â&#x20AC;˘ David Williams, 42, called police in Manchester, England, to report receiving harassing phone calls, but when officers responded, he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t answer the door. Peering in a window, officers said they saw a man holding a pistol. They cordoned off the street, burst through the back door and held Williams at gunpoint. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a clue what was going on,â&#x20AC;? he said, until he realized what police had seen was the silhouette of a life-size promotional figure of Lara Croft, which they mistook for an armed man.

Williams said he was arrested anyway, held for 13 hours and charged with a firearms offense.

NEW ADJUSTMENTS AFFECT EVEN THOSE WITH â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;GOODâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; CREDIT Earlier this year Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac (the agencies that provide the majority of the funding for mortgage loans) announced yet another layer of â&#x20AC;&#x153;loan levelâ&#x20AC;? price adjustments. These changes are making credit more expensive for both homebuyers and current homeowners looking to refinance- even those with near perfect credit. Now, if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re your credit score is 739 or below, you may pay a premium on your mortgage rate! Considering that the scoring model ranges from 300-850 and that well over 60% of the US population has a score lower than 739, these increased fees will have a major effect on borrowers. Unfortunately, these fees are mandatory and have nothing to do with the lender or mortgage professional a borrower chooses to work with. The new fees are simply Fannie Maeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and Freddie Macâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s way of recouping losses associated with the recent rise in delinquencies and foreclosures. The good news is that sometimes small changes to a borrowerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s credit profile can increase scores- saving thousands of dollars on future mortgage payments.

ILLUSTRATION: SLUG SIGNORINO

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a reason you see plenty of examples of the former statistic and few of the latter. Coming up with a handgun-deaths figure isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t so tough â&#x20AC;&#x201D; you just count all the people that get killed and subtract out the ones that donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have pistol slugs in them. But tallying how many bodies havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t piled up thanks to civilian gun ownership means, at the least, producing reliable estimates of how often the would-be perpetrators of violent crimes either (a) were foiled by someone packing a firearm, or (b) considered the prospect of being so foiled and got cold feet. And neither of those numbers is easy to come by.

You might think that incidents in category (a) would be fairly countable, at least compared to those in group (b). But the actual number of defensive gun uses, or DGUs, that occur in the U.S. each year is surprisingly elusive. Many researchers trying to track DGUs have come to believe that surveying the populace about experiences with crime yields more accurate information than using police stats, but methodology varies widely from study to study, and the results have been all over the place.

Looking at figures from the mid-â&#x20AC;&#x2122;90s, we see that the National Crime Victimization Surveys, conducted for the Justice Department, came back with an estimate of 108,000 DGUs annually, whereas data collected in a Florida State University phone survey suggested that the number was more like 4.7 million. Needless to say, the experts disagree loudly about the reliability of such figures, and the huge discrepancies between them seem to be a function of how the questions were asked.

Some argue that DGUs inherently tend to be overreported â&#x20AC;&#x201D; youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re encouraging people to recount their own heroics, after all â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but others say underreporting is at least as likely, as respondents could be clamming up out of concern that their defensive gun use might not have been legal.

If thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not inconclusive enough for you, just watch researchers try to quantify the crime-deterring effect of allowing civilians to walk around armed. Some have tried to get at this issue in what may seem to be an overly straightforward way, namely by asking criminals how they feel about a gun-toting citizenry. A 1986 National Institute of Justice survey of convicted felons, to take one example, provides at best a mixed bag of insights: More than a third of the felons questioned said they worried with some regularity about being shot by victims, but roughly 40 percent said they never considered the possibility; while 39 percent said that at least once theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d decided not to go through with a crime because they believed the person theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d targeted was armed, and nearly 25 percent insisted they were actually

ALL WORTHWHILE HUMAN KNOWLEDGE

Dear Cecil, I often see statistics on the number of deaths in the U.S. related to handgun accidents and murders by civilians.

What I think would be a powerful statistic next to this is the number of people that have been saved by the use of a firearm. I have a funny feeling itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot less than the number of innocents killed.

The other main method for gauging the deterrence 2x5-tootsies061108.indd 1 6/9/08 effect is to correlate crime statistics with the prevalence of legally owned guns â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a task involving more variables than a month of algebra homework. In his controversial 1998 book More Guns, Less Crime (a punchy title, one must concede), economist John Lott analyzes changes IN BEAUTIFUL NORTHERN VERMONT in violent-crime figures in the 10 states that adopted so-called shall-issue laws â&#x20AC;&#x201D; restricting authoritiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

A CABBIE’S REAR VIEW

Father’s Day

T

he man sitting next to me was quite the physical specimen. He had buzzcut blond hair and slim, black-framed eyeglasses and looked stunning in his skin-tight blue tank top — a look I could never pull off even when I was young and full of brio. I did have my moments back in the day, but “Jernigan” and “hunk” were never used in the same sentence. Not that I’m jealous, or even wistful; I can admire a good hottie, male or female, without taking it personally.

My customer shifted in his seat and said, “Man, I can’t remember the last time I was out this late. If I get out once or twice a year, that’s a lot.”

It was easy to deduce what that was about. I said, “You’re a family man, I bet.”

He smiled and said, “Yup, that I am.

Me and my wife have two little girls, 3 and 5. Don’t get me wrong — I love my girls, but once in a while you need some serious guy-time.”

“Let me guess. Didja go to the fights at Memorial?”

“Bingo that,” he confirmed with a laugh. “Those mixed martial arts are awesome.”

I’m sure he meant that something was snipped, but I got the idea.

“Any good matches?”

“A couple towards the end, but the early fights — jeez. I mean, we’re not expecting Muhammad Ali up here in Vermont, but some of those three-rounders were lasting all of 20 seconds.”

Re-scanning his physique, I asked, “Do you fight yourself?”

“Yeah, as a matter of fact, I do, but not this style, dude. I practice judo, which is a more defensive approach to the martial arts.”

Another classic Burlington weekend, I thought. While the martial artists were pummeling each other at Memorial Auditorium, John Prine — the venerable, scraggly old songwriter — was strumming his tunes about loss and love at the Flynn. In B-town, there’s something for everybody.

We motored north on Route 7 in Colchester, which took us through Sunny Hollow, a misnamed stretch of road. They got the “hollow” part right; it’s the “sunny” that’s anything but.

The road plummets like a rollercoaster into a canyon-like pass between two thickly forested hills. Even during the height of summer, the scoot through this section is a short visit to another temperate zone, with a drop of about 15 degrees Fahrenheit. For the sake of accuracy, it should be written “Sunny (sic) Hollow.”

I turned my head and stole a glance at this young father. He looked like he had enjoyed his night out, but the closer we got to his home, the wider his smile grew.

It’s easy to bemoan the burdens and stress of parenthood, but what about the sheer joy? What’s better than that little face looking up at you, followed by the jump into your arms?

“So, back to the house of women,” I offered, throwing out a bit of manly commiseration. “You ever think about having 2x5-Skirack061108.indd 1 6/9/08 11:43:39 AM a boy or two?”

“Well, that ain’t gonna happen. I got my tubes tied after the second girl.”

I’m sure he meant that something was snipped, but I got the idea.

“Anyway,” he continued, “how can for qualified buyers you afford it? My wife came from a family of eight kids and mine was Grants available for up to $15,000 nearly as big, but these days . . . I work to go towards closing costs and/or down payments full-time and then some so my wife can stay home with the girls. We’re just • Ask about Tracker Loans and credit counseling to getting by, but we don’t qualify for Dr. repair debt and get on the Asset Path Dynasaur or any other state help. It’s • Apply online @ www.oppsvt.org hard to make ends meet.”

We came to where Route 7 crosses or email info@oppsvt.org Bay Road and Main Street, home to the Spanked Puppy, a popular local pub. At We don’t say “no,” we say “when.” the next blinking light, we turned left onto Creek Farm Road. On the north side of the blacktop, the Breezy Acres trailers were laid out like a small village.

800.865.2003 ext. 102 On the south side stood a rambling EQUAL HOUSING OPPOR TUNIT Y neighborhood of modest single-family homes, one of which belonged to my customer.

2x4-opportunities052808.indd 1 5/22/08 3:47:01 PM We pulled to a stop in front of an aluminum-sided Cape. A porch light illuminated the manicured lawn, which was spring green and strewn with brightly colored kids’ toys. I said, “You own a nice place here, man.”

10am-5pm “Thanks,” he said. For a silent moment, the two of us gazed out on his little slice of Colchester. “Though, to be accurate,” he added, “I own, like, 5 percent of it. The Northfield Savings Bank owns the rest.”

The guy was veering between a wellearned pride and contentment with the life he had forged with his partner, and the cynicism that gave him a buffer he needed when contemplating the fragility of it all. In short, I was witnessing the dicey mind-set of your average modern man.

As my customer counted out the Featuring: fare, it was as if he had read my mind.

No-Strings Marionettes Diving on a Pirate Shipwreck “You know something?” he spoke up Pirate Crafts, Games, & Stories Working Maritime Machines quietly. “I can bitch about this or that — money problems, whatever.

TAKING NOTE OF VISUAL VERMONT CHRIS LONDON

All Dolled Up

T IMAGES Jeb WallaceBrodeur “Odd Babies: Four Artists Explore the Doll,” The Lazy Pear Gallery, Montpelier.

Through July 20.

NINA GABY

hink of a doll, any kind of doll. What do you see? Is it a flaxen-haired Malibu Barbie lounging on a beach towel, giving that blank yet perky stare to her man Ken? Or are you picturing the puffy cheeks and narrow gaze of a Cabbage Patch Kid, arms open wide, begging for a hug? Perhaps you recall the mechanized rant of Chatty Cathy, or the wholesome innocence of Raggedy Ann. Whatever you’re thinking, put it aside and check out the exhibit called “Odd Babies: Four Artists Explore the Doll” at the Lazy Pear Gallery in Montpelier. Your preconceptions won’t do you any good in the company of these abstract, alien and, indeed, odd creations.

And that’s just the point of this quartet of artists: to expand and explore the definition of the doll, each in a very different way. Some of these figures are made of earthenware and clay, others papier-mâché; some almost resemble more traditional dolls — such as Beth Robinson’s eerie Goth figures. Others are mere “gestures” at the doll

form, like Nina Gaby’s blocky, imperfect creatures wearing Mary Janes.

Rob Hitzig, co-owner of the Lazy Pear, says the idea for a doll show came from Gaby, though he had also been thinking about highlighting Robinson’s work. “To do that,” Hitzig muses, “you really need to build other dolls around it.” He did so by collecting artists’ perspectives and facilitating a kind of doll dialogue.

While each artist is uniquely intriguing, Robinson’s dolls are the attentiongetters in the gallery, by virtue of their lifelike eyes and unnervingly expressive faces. Hitzig points out that her figures — clothed in vintage lace, striped stockings that recall Beetlejuice, and black, almost masochistic shoes — tie in with Montpelier’s Fashion Week. “It’s sort of like a mini-fashion show for the dolls,” he suggests.

Robinson, 32, resides in Colchester, but the twang in her voice betrays a childhood spent partly in the Deep South. A graphic designer by trade, she’s found enough success with her dolls to pare her day job down to just 12 hours a week. Robinson began making them in 2003, inspired by the big, tired-looking eyes, ample lips and expressive faces of vintage Russian dolls.

When she gave her versions a more Gothic look and ’tude, she quickly discovered their strange appeal. “They just started to sell instantly,” Robinson remembers. “It was crazy.” The dolls were so popular that she gave them their own online identity: www.strange dolls.net. “It sort of took on a life of its own,” she says.

During a telephone interview, Robinson reveals that her personal style is nothing like that of her dolls. She doesn’t “dress Goth,” and she’s been too intimidated by that scene even to attend her own gallery openings in places like London and Berlin.

“When I see the pictures,” she relates, “it’s like a Marilyn Manson video; I would feel so out of place there.”

Yet she sells a couple hundred dolls each year, for prices ranging from $150 to $1800. Though her customer base is diverse, Goth and gay communities seem especially drawn to her figures, Robinson says.

Addressing the contrast between her appearance and her artwork, she explains, “I like to go home at night and build my own world.”

That fantasy is influenced by the punk music, clothing and DIY ethic of her teenage years.

Back then, “You couldn’t just go to a Hot Topic and pick something out,” she says, “you had to make everything.” Today, Robinson stresses, she’s just a “normal person.”

Her dolls, however, encourage stares.

They’re made from polymer clay with Glastic doll eyes, and some feature antique buttons and vintage lace. The pink-haired “Gothic Lolita” is 18 inches tall and has a startled expression, as if she’s just witnessed something disturbing. Her ghostly-white skin contrasts with her dark clothes and wild hair. The

blue-haired version, 22 inches tall, wears a black frock with intricately sewn lace hems and has a more confrontational demeanor.

Two other dolls in the Lolita series sport nose rings and necklaces with big crucifixes. The only blonde one on display, “Lea,” appears fragile and somber.

Seated cross-legged, she looks as if she’s TIFFANY OWNBEY

been pushed down and has decided to stay there.

Adjacent to Robinson’s characters at the Lazy Pear hang Chris London’s sculptures. London, 47, of Hartford, Connecticut, is a full-time potter who’s found a niche in the offbeat. “I find I make a lot more money making freak-

SEVEN DAYS | june 11-18, 2008 | feature 25A

BETH ROBINSON

BINGO

AT B R O A D AC R E S ish, weird things than making things that are beautiful,â&#x20AC;? she explains. Some of her offerings in this exhibit fall into the freakish category â&#x20AC;&#x201D; think ghoulish clay faces mounted on antique pitchforks. Another group of figures is more spiritual, almost talismanic.

London says the pitchfork faces emerged from her love of old tools, including rakes and other garden implements. She wanted to pair these with hard clay, so she fired the pieces at 2400 degrees Fahrenheit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everything is fired to cone-6, almost the temperature of CorningWare,â&#x20AC;? she explains, â&#x20AC;&#x153;so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really very sturdy.â&#x20AC;?

Other â&#x20AC;&#x153;dollsâ&#x20AC;? are shaped like russet potatoes and have spiral eyes and shocked expressions. The texture of the clay resembles that of dried, distressed rawhide, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rock hard. Standing beside the display, London says she likes to â&#x20AC;&#x153;make things that donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t look like an alien, but look alien.â&#x20AC;? In other words, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not aping the popular image of an E.T., but trying to create something original that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t appear to be of this world.

Londonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s other figurines, the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Goddesses,â&#x20AC;? realize her goal of making hard clay look soft. While these small creatures have a human form, their rounded edges and delicate etchings make them appear pliable. Their hands are turned out and raised, as if theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re being arrested, and the images on their bodies evoke an inchoate spirituality. The dolls are misshapen or otherwise flawed â&#x20AC;&#x201D; for a reason. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wish women could understand that the things that are different about them are the things that make them beautiful and magical,â&#x20AC;? London says.

Nina Gaby would most likely agree, given the imperfect nature of her â&#x20AC;&#x153;gestureâ&#x20AC;? dolls. These slightly abstract babies have heavy feet shod in classic Mary Jane shoes. Gaby, 58, lives in Brookfield and now works predominantly with earthenware.

Some of her earlier work resides in the permanent collection of the Smithsonianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Renwick Gallery.

Aside from the â&#x20AC;&#x153;gestures,â&#x20AC;?

Gaby has two other styles on display at the Lazy Pear. Perhaps the most provocative pieces are her â&#x20AC;&#x153;fetishes.â&#x20AC;? To Gaby, a fetish is simply any object to which one ascribes meaning. Her earthenware figures are wall mounted and almost two-dimensional, each shaped like an Egyptian vase with the mold of a porcelain doll face on top. Gaby fires the pieces three times: once to bake, twice to glaze, and thrice to smoke. (Incidentally, she pit-smokes them in her backyard in sawdust shavings from Rob Hitzigâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wood workshop.)

Then she paints on designs and colors using commercial glaze.

Robinsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dolls are the attention-getters in the gallery, by virtue of their lifelike eyes and unnervingly expressive faces. medium, Gaby says she is delighted to work with one thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more forgiving. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With earthenware . . .

I have orange and I have red and I have this funky blue!â&#x20AC;? she exclaims. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like having an artistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s palette.â&#x20AC;?

Gaby is also showing conical, abstract dolls made of papiermâchĂŠ â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a medium she shares with North Carolina artist Tiffany Ownby. Ownbeyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dolls straddle the line between abstraction and realism, and she uses reclaimed paper to give their â&#x20AC;&#x153;skinâ&#x20AC;? the texture of newsprint. Her creations usually bear punning names, such as the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Chest of Drawers,â&#x20AC;? a humanoid figure with four drawers sticking out of its chest. The drawers are attached to a back-

bone-like pipe, giving the prosthetic the look of a crude posturerepair device.

Waxing philosophical on the meaning of dolls in the art world, Robinson says she likes the physical interaction an owner can have with the work. One of her customers, for example, broke her doll because she was sleeping with it. Robinson did repairs but told the owner to keep taking the doll to bed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It just seems to me that thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a certain innocence with the doll,â&#x20AC;? she says.

For Gaby, the infatuation is even simpler: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always loved small-scale,â&#x20AC;? she says. But, as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Odd Babiesâ&#x20AC;? shows, minihumans can have big meanings.

actors were excellent and was particularly impressed by the performance of Laura. I thought she really was handicapped and thought her very brave to parade it in front of an audience. Call me naive, but I enjoyed the play immensely and have told my friends they should make it a point to see it.

Jeanne McIntyre BERLIN

SAVAGE ATTACK Does nobody at Seven Days exercise any editorial control or judgment when it comes to approving the content of stories? The publication of Ken Picard’s sophomoric piece on Dan Savage (need anyone know anything at all about this man?) suggests that your editors and publishers now feel that nothing is in such bad taste, so calculated to shock (startle? offend? be exhibitionistic?) by its needless vulgarity that it should be killed or rewritten [“A Man’s Man”, May 28].

Hard to understand why the most interesting arts newspaper in town would stoop to this kind of sensationalist writing, which I seriously doubt pleased any significant part of your regular readership. Very childish, not to mention tasteless and scummy. Some of your gang ought to grow up a bit.

William Metcalfe BURLINGTON

SOME NERVE I’m disappointed to read that some self-appointed censors want to deny everyone the option of watching Al Jazeera [Local Matters, May 28]. Most of us out here can think for ourselves and would prefer that self-appointed censors simply change the channel and butt out. What’s next?

Give in to these people, and they will start looking for their next target. Kudos to Mayor Kiss for standing up to this heavy-handed attempt at thought control. Another reader has pointed out that Israelis can watch Al Jazeera, but Israeli supporters here want to deny the same privilege to us. Where I come from, that is called chutzpah. Excuse me, people, but this is not the West Bank or Gaza.

John Coady WILLISTON

ANTI-ANTI-AMERICAN Whether or not Burlington Telecom should continue to broadcast Al Jazeera comes down to a very simple fact: Dropping the network because it is a news source with an anti-American bias is more anti-American than anything they could possibly say on the network.

News sources are biased because humans are biased. We gravitate towards sources that reinforce our viewpoint, and are repelled by those that disagree. I refuse to watch FOX News; my right-wing friend despises The New York Times.

On to the more important issue: What defines “American”

and, therefore, what is “antiAmerican?” The answer to the former is the uniquely broad definition of freedom established by the Constitution.

Disregard for these freedoms and their underlying principles would be the definition of the latter.

The Framers, in no uncertain terms, gave the freedom of expression for both individuals and the press, especially in regard to political dissent, the special distinction of being included in the First Amendment. This is not because it simply came up first, but because all other rights stem from this ability to express ourselves, both because it allows us to object when we feel our rights are being violated, and because it gives us the right to have access to the information that allows us to formulate an educated opinion.

How is it anything but the worst form of hypocrisy to “protect America” by abandoning what it means to be an American?

Jaye Samuels SOUTH BURINGTON

UNFAIR GAME Only the media, with its toddler-like attention span, would think it is a “Yawn” when Anthony Pollina talks about the issues facing Vermonters [“Fair Game”, June 4]. Real people who need real solutions are interested.

As a small business owner, I face ever-increasing health- care costs, spiraling gas prices, a so-called “affordability agenda” that has done nothing for our business, and a legislature unable to offer significant opposition. I am disgusted with the too-little, too-late half-solutions offered by the two insider parties. Mr. Pollina’s speech at the press conference was a breath of fresh air.

Under Anthony Pollina’s leadership, health care will be separated from employment, so that we can take the money we’re currently paying to insurance companies and use it to create new jobs at our company.

Pollina’s administration will promote renewable energy and public transportation so that our employees can keep coming to work. And when Pollina is governor, our state will get real economic stimulus from new green jobs and reinvigorated family farms, not a smokeand-mirrors sales tax holiday that is irrelevant to non-retail businesses.

Political games make for sexy copy, but they are not substantive. The issues are what matter. In your future coverage, let’s hear less about inter-party squabbling and more about where the candidates plan to lead Vermont.

Environmental Court. But the dispute also involves the Bristol Planning Commission, which is in the process of rewriting the town plan, a document that offers a framework for future development in Bristol.

Right now, the Bristol plan allows for gravel mining in certain areas of town. The question is whether Lathrop’s pit conforms to the plan — a question that will likely be answered in court. In the meantime, the two sides of the battle over the proposed mine are articulating, in essence, two very different visions for the town.

Diane Heffernan owns an 11-acre gravel pit north

1956, when she and husband Francis moved here from Brooklyn to farm. Her daughter, Christine, runs Pine Tree Gardens, a nursery opened by the Heffernans in 1961.

Bristol’s town plan has always been “pretty flexible” on permit applications for gravel mining, Heffernan says.

Twenty years ago, she recalls, her family encountered no opposition when they were granted permission to mine for gravel. Until the Lathrop proposal, she notes, “We haven’t had that many controversies.”

Heffernan is sympathetic to Jim Lathrop’s position, although she also understands opponents’ arguments that new housing might be a better use of a 31-acre meadow

of town, on Hardscrabble Road. A former member of the Bristol Planning Commission, she’s lived in the town since

he Lathrop family’s history in Bristol dates back to 1880, when Noah Lathrop purchased a lumber mill in a section of town called the Little Notch. The business thrived until 1925, by which time all the commercial timber had been cut, according to the town’s local history. The shuttering of Noah’s mill led to a decline in Bristol’s population, but the Lathrop family remains one of the most prominent in town.

In the most recent edition of History of Bristol, Vermont, 1762-1980, first published in 1940, Bristol is described as a “little village” in the shadow of “two low mountains, which stand like sentinels” to the south and east of town.

According to an early contributor to the book, “a feeling of neighborliness and good fellowship pervades the very atmosphere” in Bristol. In the last few years, however, that local harmony has been threatened by what one town official called a “classic Vermont land-use dispute.”

It all started when Noah’s great-great grandson, Jim, applied for a permit five years ago to open a gravel pit on a 31-acre meadow about a mile from the center of town.

Lathrop’s pit would produce twice as much gravel as any of the dozen or so existing gravel-mining operations in the area.

His trucks would make 144 trips in and out of the quarry each day, and as much as 7 million tons of sand and gravel would be pulled from the ground over a 50-year period. A state environmental judge called Lathrop’s proposed pit the “largest and most significant” in the area.

But Lathrop’s plans haven’t been well received by a number of Bristol residents and business owners. They’re worried that the scale and location of Lathrop’s proposed pit — and the noise, dust and traffic it generates — will ultimately hurt the town’s image and cause individual property values to decrease.

Leading the opposition is John Moyers, son of acclaimed journalist and PBS commentator Bill Moyers. After graduating from Middlebury College in 1986, Moyers settled in nearby Bristol; his real estate holdings in town are valued at more than $1 million. For five years, Moyers has attended public meetings concerning Lathrop’s permit request. He’s convinced that some town officials are “very hostile” to pit opponents and are looking for a way to approve Lathrop’s application.

“At every public meeting, the people who oppose the pit far outnumber the people who support it,” Moyers said last week by phone from a meditation center in California. “It seems to me that the majority of the planning commission has favored the pit, even though some of them aren’t willing to say so.”

Jim Lathrop, whose family goes back seven generations in Bristol, characterizes opponents of his gravel pit as “flatlanders.” He is frustrated by his critics, who he says want to reinvent a town whose economy has always relied on the extraction of natural resources. His brother Tom runs Lathrop’s Maple Supply, a massive lumber operation on the south edge of town. “They have a different perception of values,” Lathrop says, “and suddenly they want to impose ’em on us.”

Some version of the dispute that is roiling Bristol is playing out in towns across the state, says Noelle Mackay, executive director of Smart Growth Vermont, a nonprofit dedicated to finding ways to foster economic growth that don’t destroy the state’s landscape. Mackay points out that Bristol has attained an enviable mix of working landscape and a vibrant downtown, which means land-use decisions such as the one it now confronts have “long-term consequences.”

Lathrop’s land-use application requires review and approval by the Bristol Zoning Board and the Vermont

within walking distance of downtown. The Addison County Regional Planning Commission predicts the area will need 6000 new housing units by 2025; and a survey of Bristol residents two years ago by Smart Growth Vermont found that the affordability of existing housing was a major concern.

Even Lathrop agrees that his land would be ideal for housing â&#x20AC;&#x201D; just not until after heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s had a chance to mine gravel from it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We should keep our economy a working local economy,â&#x20AC;? he insists. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People got to have jobs, you know. We canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t all wash windows and clean toilets.â&#x20AC;?

The Heffernans are already preparing for the day when their mine closes. They plan to backfill and re-grade the exposed soil so that it will once again be suitable for farming or residential development. Still, Diane Heffernan says,

over Lathropâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gravel mine wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be an easy one to resolve. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a hard decision for the town of Bristol,â&#x20AC;? Lougee says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is a significant impact, and it is a significant resource located very close to their downtown, so I can understand the angst, and the interest.â&#x20AC;?

Judging by attendance at a couple recent public hearings on Lathropâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s application, the greater interest has been shown by those opposed to Lathropâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plans. In late April, about 20 residents spoke out against the proposed mine at a Bristol Zoning Board meeting at Holley Hall.

Kevin Harper, who owns the downtown Bristol Bakery & CafĂŠ, expressed concern that gravel trucks would spew dust onto Main Street, hurting local businesses. He used to own Autumn Harp natural cosmetics, which is PHOTO COURTESY OF TRUDELL CONSULTING ENGINEERS

The â&#x20AC;&#x153;town planâ&#x20AC;? has been flexible, too, Moyers alleges. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve attended quite a few planning commission meetings over these years, and it seems to me . . . that the changes being proposed to the town plan would clear the way for that particular pit in that particular location.â&#x20AC;?

Tom Wells, a real estate attorney who chairs the commission, suggests that Moyersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; complaint is more of a conspiracy theory than a reasoned argument. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our process,â&#x20AC;? he counters, â&#x20AC;&#x153;is more deliberative than John gives us credit for.â&#x20AC;?

Lathropâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s supporters have their own suspicions â&#x20AC;&#x201D; namely, that the local newspaper, the Addison Independent, is in cahoots with pit opponents. Mark Hall, Lathropâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attorney, says that editorials

Opponents of the proposed pit say its scale and location would ultimately hurt the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s image and cause individual property values to decrease.

the subterranean vein of sand and gravel that tracks the Green Mountains is an important resource, and mining it will always be necessary. If town planners, business owners and residents canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t agree on where gravel mining will take place, Heffernan warns, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be in trouble.â&#x20AC;?

Moyers was instrumental in pushing through a resolution last year that grants Bristol residents, not its elected officials, the power to approve revisions to the town plan â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a blueprint for future development. That activism was precipitated by his concern that planning commission members were rewriting the plan in a way that would allow Lathropâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mine to go forward at some future point.

Moyers, a former reporter for the Addison Independent, has characterized Lathropâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s approach to permitting as â&#x20AC;&#x153;catch me if you can.â&#x20AC;? He says Lathrop and his team of consultants have repeatedly altered their proposal without going through the proper procedures. For example, Moyers suggests theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve used elusive defini-

penned by the Independentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s publisher, Angelo Lynn, sound remarkably similar to speeches John Moyers has made at public hearings on the issue.

Lynn denies that he has taken sides in the dispute between Lathrop and his opponents. He calls Waterbury-based Hall a â&#x20AC;&#x153;hired gunâ&#x20AC;? who is seeking to denigrate pit opponents rather than help the town arrive at a solution. As for his role, Lynn says he just wants the permitting process to be transparent and for the public to have the ultimate say. â&#x20AC;&#x153;[My] position as an editorial writer,â&#x20AC;? he says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;has been that the best way to clarify the town plan is to put it up for public vote and let the entire community decide.â&#x20AC;?

Adam Lougee, executive director of the Addison County Regional Planning Commission, says that while referendums on land-use matters are legal, they arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarily good public policy. Town plans should preclude the need for special votes on individual projects, he says. Still, Lougee acknowledges, the dispute

still one of Bristolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest employers. Claire Wallace, a local realtor, called the boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attention to a study that purported to show how gravel extraction reduced one Midwestern townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s property values. Moyers and others argued that mining so much gravel near downtown is not in Bristolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s longterm interests.

Meanwhile, across the aisle, Lathrop sat at a folding table with his attorney and a small group of advisors. Only one resident, Craig Scribner, spoke up on his behalf.

A little later, on the steps of Holley Hall, Scribner acknowledged pit supporters may represent a â&#x20AC;&#x153;silent minorityâ&#x20AC;? of town residents. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Or maybe theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a majority,â&#x20AC;? said the long-time Bristol resident. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know.â&#x20AC;?

Lathropâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attorney, Mark Hall, offered his own take on the situation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The tenor of the opposition is not necessarily reflective of the community,â&#x20AC;? he says.

Heffernan says that many older Bristol residents watch zoning board hearings on television, but >> 32A

The dispute also involves the Bristol Planning Commission, which is in the process of rewriting the town plan, a document that offers a framework for future development in Bristol. don’t get publicly involved in local political issues. “If you really feel strongly about something, you come out,” she says. “If you don’t, you just hang back.”

One group of elderly men appeared to be more comfortable expressing themselves over coffee at Cubber’s on Main Street. On a recent morning, the 10 or so selfdescribed “Old Farts” appeared to be unfamiliar with the specifics of Lathrop’s pit proposal. But that didn’t stop them from expressing support for it.

“People that own the pit ought to have a right to develop it,” said Merrill Masse, who has been a Bristol resident since 1966. “It’s a basic freedom thing. We’re just losing freedoms in this country right and left.”

Another old-timer pointed out that Bristol has been home to Lathrop’s Maple Supply for years. He dismissed opponents’ fears that a big gravel-mining operation would hurt property values. Another man agreed. “I don’t think property values have dropped,” he said. “If anything, they’ve gone up.” Bristol’s proximity to Middlebury has made the town increasingly attractive to college professors and other professionals.

Sitting across from Masse, George Smith, who runs the Bristol Landfill, said that the majority of people opposed to the pit aren’t Bristol natives and are relatively new to town. “There’s only a few people holding it up,” he said, “but they’re doing it legally, so we can’t do anything.”

Jim Lathrop knows that better than anyone. Two Saturdays ago, he agreed to give a brief tour of the proposed pit site in his red SUV. The tour began on a road that abuts property owned by

Greg Moye, whose $73,200 home, which looks out onto the New Haven River, would be one of the closet residences to Lathrop’s mine.

Moye is a local chef and restaurant manager whose family has lived in Bristol since the 1800s. His great-grandfather worked at the Lathrop lumber mill, but today, the entire Moye clan, including his 55-year-old mother, Michelle, opposes Lathrop’s gravel pit.

Michelle said the Lathrop family’s lumber mill has already “ruined” a section of the New Haven River. She offered that the Lathrops possess an arrogant belief that they are entitled to Bristol’s natural resources, and she is skeptical of assurances that the gravel pit won’t do further damage to the river.

“They promise all this stuff,” she said. “But once they get in there? Well, you know how that goes.”

Dressed in soiled jeans and a baseball cap, Lathrop navigated an unpaved road towards the meadow, which offers a pleasant view of the Champlain Valley. He explained that his pit would employ four people, which would be a good thing for Bristol, and that a 200-foot buffer zone around the property would protect the New Haven River from surface runoff.

Lathrop parked at the edge of the meadow, climbed out of the driver’s seat, pulled a thin cigar out of his shirt pocket and lit it.

His sons, Justin and Jason, were piloting two massive, yellow loaders around the property. A few yards away, a noise consultant — hired at the request of the zoning board — was taking sound measurements with a microphone. The

man’s partner was recording decibel levels in another part of town.

Meanwhile, James Dumont, a lawyer representing John Moyers, snapped photographs of the sound test for the record.

The subject of Moyers brings out Lathrop’s prickly side. “We’ve worked all our lives, my family has, to accumulate some pieces of property,” Lathrop said. “My grandchildren are here, my kids are here, my mother’s still here: We intend on staying here! And we don’t like to be told by newcomin’, trust-fund flatlanders what to do with our land. We don’t think it’s correct. ’Cause if we’ve done such a poor job all these years, why do they want to move here now?”

Lathrop says that, while it appears opponents of his pit outnumber supporters, appearances can be deceiving. He says he has heard from hundreds of people who have told him, “Jim, don’t let them knock you over, go for it!”

“People don’t want to go out and fight and carry on in public,” he continued. “They just want to live.”

Lathrop’s sons suggested that several local contractors support the pit but aren’t likely to say so in a public setting. “They’re trying to make a living just like us,” Lathrop says. “We understand that ’cause we’re in business — you learn to shut your mouth on controversial issues.”

After the noise consultant completed his work, Lathrop drove him into town, to a parking lot that abuts the headquarters of the Bristol Historical Society. “I’m sure what I say you don’t agree with,” Lathrop said to the man before driving off. “I guess that’s what makes life interesting.”

Nevertheless, they lack anti-Semitic feelings. They even briefly harbored fleeing Jewish friends — without thinking too closely about that family’s subsequent disappearance. The party line that the Jews are merely being “resettled” is enough for them.

Annaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s uncle utters the phrase, implying that they are doomed whether they stay and wait for the Russians or flee. Ironically, the real-life skeletons are Cecile and her friends.

Skeletons at the Feast has been inaccurately billed as a wartime love story. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really the story of the Emmerich womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gradual acknowledgment, under gentle

not be handled lightly as a source material for literature.

The horror of its reality is still difficult to process today.

Authors grappling with the unfathomable facts tend to avoid stock characters and feelgood resolutions, finding them inadequate. French writer Michel Tournierâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unforgettable 1970 novel The Ogre, for example, features a main character who cannot tell myth from reality; Canadian Anne Michaelsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Fugitive Pieces (1996) is a dense meditation on memory. But perhaps these novels about Nazi atrocities are unfair comparisons: They are intricate literary

There is a certain disappointing Hollywood quality to a novel in which the likeable characters are dashing and capable, and the despicable â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or merely pitiable â&#x20AC;&#x201D; ones are decidedly not.

Klara â&#x20AC;&#x201D; declares him wonderfully close to the Aryan model of human perfection.

But there is a certain disappointing Hollywood quality to a novel in which the likeable characters are dashing and capable, and the despicable â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or merely pitiable â&#x20AC;&#x201D; ones are decidedly not. Gabi is â&#x20AC;&#x153;pathetically homely.â&#x20AC;? Her friend Sonje, who nearly jumps Uri, to his utter shock, is â&#x20AC;&#x153;tall and gangly with a skeletal stalk linking her collarbone with a chin as sharp as a goatee and eyes that bulged out like a bugâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s.â&#x20AC;? Phew.

The least predictable character, appearing late in the novel, is a young SS soldier manning a checkpoint: His every infuriating utterance could be quoted from a border grilling at Highgate Springs. One reading of this scene, and the old adage â&#x20AC;&#x153;write what you knowâ&#x20AC;? springs to mind.

Bohjalianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s book no doubt will appeal to World War II aficionados and fans of historical novels. Skeletons fulfills the expectations of its genre: It entertains while imparting historical detail. It will also most likely catch the eye of film directors looking for another box-office hit set during â&#x20AC;&#x153;the good war.â&#x20AC;? And no one would begrudge the Oprah-chosen novelist that next step in his career.

Nonetheless, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worth noting that the Holocaust should

works, not plot-driven historical tales. Fortunately for Bohjalian, readers of the latter tend to outnumber those of the former.

In any case, Bohjalianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main purpose is to write not a Holocaust novel but a kind of fable, judging by his epigraph from William Faulkner (â&#x20AC;&#x153;The past is never dead. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not even past.â&#x20AC;?). That friendly, patriotic German family unwilling to believe its government isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t entirely well intentioned may be meant to ring a bell. Woe to ordinary Americans, the message presumably goes, who fail to educate themselves about the atrocities being committed in Iraq and elsewhere in their name. (One hopes the lesson is meant to have broader scope; the Third Reich comparison may lend a little too much grandiosity to the Bush administrationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s self-interested invasion of Iraq.)

Skeletons at the Feast offers comforting answers to the two questions at the start of this review. Ordinary Germans didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really know what was going on â&#x20AC;&#x201D; with a little help from their desire not to know â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and outrageously daring Jews existed. Personal stories of heroism always make for great page turners. But Primo Leviâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s memoir Survival in Auschwitz will do far more to remind us not to repeat the past than will Bohjalianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s entertaining narrative.

readers’ picks

ballot it’s time to PICK THE DAYSIES!

Hard to believe this is our sixth annual best-of readers’ survey. For the occasion, we’ve come up with a smattering of new categories — you’ll find them mingling with the “classics”. (If they ain’t broke, we figure, why fix ’em?) We’d like you to weigh in on your favorites, new and old, from bars to blogs, shoe stores to snow slopes.

And remember, this is a Vermont contest, so keep it local! Also, please write legibly and be explicit — but if you can’t remember the name of a store, describe it. If we can’t figure it out, we just won’t count it.

RULES: • 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 at least a third of the two-page ballot (33 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.

ARTWORK

“Triumphant Rejuvenation I & II” by J oshua Nase

Marc Awodey

ne of the Burlington area’s most unusual visual art venues is its airport.

Curated by Burlington City Arts, three parts of the facility provide moments of aesthetic respite for travelers bustling to and from gates, baggageclaim conveyer belts and the cavernous parking garage.

Through July, the Skyway space presents a strong group of 10 pieces

by Joshua Nase. He seems to deploy a “kitchen-sink strategy” in creating his abstractions, and that includes the use of recycled materials. Nase’s most unusual recycling tactic involves his choice of painting surfaces. Varieties of “salvaged foam,” like the stuff used for packing material and insulation, are among his preferred painting supports. Nase’s large-scale “Triumphant Rejuvenation I & II” works were executed in airbrush on roughly 48by-60-inch vertical sheets of foam.

“Triumphant Rejuvenation I” contains a welter of calligraphic squiggles and lines interwoven with layers of broad patches of hue. Nase’s airbrush adds transparent mists of color. But his approach isn’t totally chaotic, and subtle harmonies reveal themselves within the chromatic mélange. Pale blues and their orange complements are particularly striking. Values range from white to black, and Nase’s organization of the whites in both paintings is what gives them compositional structure.

Nase is a well-schooled painter who studied at Rhode Island’s Roger Williams University and in Rome. He seems particularly influenced by Kandinsky.

“Rome I-IV,” Nase’s series of 21-by-28inch acrylics on canvas, reveals a more delicate approach to line than he accomplishes in his airbrush work. In the black-and-white “Rome II,” controlled currents and crosscurrents of loopy brushwork create sweeping rhythms

Barbree’s photojournalistic journey, entitled “Tibet in Exile,” comprises 10 16-by-20-inch color photos taken at Dharmsala, India, the Dalai Lama’s seat of government in exile. The photos are part of a larger series from March 2006, called “The Way of the Bodhisattva,” that can be found on Barbree’s website.

The photographer has a keen eye for human rhythms and brilliant

calm, tan hues and a few distant pale grays, in addition to muted red.

Looming above an escalator is a wide wall that BCA dedicates to large-scale works; its exhibits last longer than do those in the other two spaces. Dan Gottsegen’s monumental oil painting “Potash Creek” is installed there through this year. Too bad it’s only seen quickly in passing by travelers headed downstairs. The

Besides painting on recycled foam, Nase also breaks the picture plane by cutting into it. The vertical 26-by-60inch “Layered Landscapes” is severed into two sections that are framed together in cast-off wood. Painted in fairly thin drips, splatters and smears — again with a palette of just black and white — the pink foam shows through the upper layers.

Another exhibition occupies a space near Gates 1 and 2. Memphis

color. The crimson-robed monks of Dharmsala appear in groups: a row of monks met by a beggar; ranks of monks facing the camera and chanting. While the pieces have titles, the text posted beside the show doesn’t help much in discerning which titles go with which images — with one exception. “Dalai Lama Tea Break” is a portrait of the beatific 14th Dalai Lama bundled in a red robe and smiling as he lifts a cup of tea. It’s a nearly monochromatic image, with only

naturalistic abstraction of a wooded Vermont creek is a tangle of details and unexpected hues, from purples to turquoise to hints of autumnal yellow and orange. The piece seems to be about 5 by 7 feet in scale. Maybe after its tenure above the escalator, “Potash Creek” will hang some place where viewers can linger over it.

Airports don’t really encourage lingering — unless, of course, your plane is late. Then taking in the art is a good way to pass the time. 

Going With the Grain

T See a slideshow of Edward Allen’s work online at seven daysvt.com.

ce In

he Green Mountain State boasts 68 home wood-furniture makers and collectives, according to the Vermont Wood Products Marketing Council. They all produce gorgeous pieces for sitting, eating and housing one’s books. But for customers drawn to the clean lines and scrupulous construction of Shaker furniture, the work of Edward Allen stands out.

The 74-year-old Middlebury resident has crafted one custom-ordered piece at a

lebration o f

time in his converted garage since retiring from teaching industrial arts at age 51. The Shaker sect’s furniture appealed to him from the start, he says: “I always liked the proportions, and they were very meticulous about how they made things.” Flipping through an album of his past work, he pauses at a photo of a desk he made for a Hollywood writer. “At first, he sent me a sketch of what he wanted, and it was so ultra-modern that I didn’t even want to do it,” Allen recalls with a chuckle. “I like to do things that have a link to the past.”

Inside Allen’s house is a small showroom where prospective customers can see finished pieces in elegant, satiny cherry — a wood Allen says he favors because of the way its color changes as he works. Eschewing stain, he hand-rubs each piece with a clear Danish oil finish, sands it with 600-grit paper, and cloth-dries it “just as dry as I can get.” Then he repeats the three-step process twice.

And that’s just the surfaces. His smoothly sliding desk drawers have no metal gliders — which means their dovetailed construction takes into account the expansion and contraction of the wood over time. In some drawers, he inserts a false backboard a few inches from the end that reminds people not to pull them out too far. Legs have mortise-and-tenon joints secured with wooden pegs.

An ingeniously constructed plantation desk — Allen happened on the design while touring a historical house, he says — consists of two separate parts for easy transport: a lidded table and a shelving unit that sits on top. A low-profile molding attached to the desktop keeps the upper unit in place. Allen enjoys inserting personal touches into each piece: This one has a hidden compartment. “But my grandkids discovered it right away when I told them about it,” he adds.

PROFILES OF CRAFTY VERMONTERS

Allen tends to draw repeat customers — vacationers from South Carolina, Texas or Vancouver who show up on Open Studio Weekend and end up ordering piece after piece as years go by. Fellow woodworkers come to inspect his work, too; he once discovered one hunkered down beneath a hinge-top desk in the showroom, studying its roll-out supports.

A fifth-generation Vermonter from Brattleboro, Allen says he “heard Ira Allen is the [family] side we’re on, not Ethan’s, but I don’t have any proof.”

His father and uncles all worked in construction, and he got his first job out of high school with the Estey Organ Company, one block from home, which was doing a booming international business in 1950. He moved to the local cotton mill, where he baled scraps on the night shift, then realized college would provide better opportunities. With a degree in industrial arts from Castleton State, Allen went on to teach in Connecticut and Vermont high schools,

vocational centers and one state prison for the next 31 years.

Despite adhering to a 19th-century aesthetic, Allen is up to date on environmental concerns: He uses Vermontharvested wood certified by Tom Lathrop of Exclusively Vermont Wood Products, 10 miles down the road in Bristol. “He and his wife [Pamela] know exactly where each piece comes from,” Allen says, and they let him choose pieces for their grain patterns if, for example, he is making matching drawer fronts from a single plank. It’s as perfect a fit as a Shaker joint — but entirely local.

Stop by Edward Allen’s workshop and showroom at 6 South Leno Lane in Middlebury, or call him at 388-9274. View his work online at the Vermont Crafts Council website, www. vermontcrafts.com, and the Vermont Wood

Products Marketing Council website, www. buyvermontwoodproducts.com.

theborowitzreport Bush Refuses to Read McClellan’s Book, Calling It “A Book”

O

n a day when Washington was abuzz with the news that former White House spokesperson Scott McClellan had published a tell-all memoir, President George W. Bush offered his personal reason for not reading it.

“I have no intention of reading Scott McClellan’s book,” Mr. Bush told reporters, “because it’s a book.”

Mr. Bush said he was “surprised” that Mr. McClellan had written a book to criticize him because, he explained, “if you’re trying to communicate some criticism to me, a book is pretty much the last place you’d put it.”

The president said that he thought the chances of his someday reading Mr. McClellan’s book were “zero,” adding, “If I didn’t read the Iraq Study Group’s report, I really don’t think I’m about to read Scott McClellan’s little book.”

Presidential historian Davis Logsdon of the University of Minnesota observed that if Mr. McClellan honestly expected his memoir to somehow reach Mr. Bush’s nightstand, “that demonstrates just how little he knows George W. Bush.”

“Scott McClellan would have had a much better shot if he had put his memoir in Xbox 360 format and then slipped it into a package labeled ‘Grand Theft Auto 5,’” he said.

For his part, Mr. Bush said that there

If I didn’t read the Iraq Study Group’s report, I really don’t think I’m about to read Scott McClellan’s little book. president bush

was in fact a book published this week that had caught his eye: the new James Bond thriller titled Devil May Care.

“Now, that book looks like it could be good,” he said. “Maybe I’ll have Laura read it to me.”

ARIES

(March 21-April 19): “Successful representations of reality become more important than the reality they represent,” writes W. Daniel Hillis at The World Question Center (tinyurl.com/ywth3).

Examples: Paper money supersedes gold; a painting has more value than the landscape it depicts; the status that an achievement brings begins to overshadow the achievement. The coming days are an excellent time for you to contemplate how this phenomenon might be in play in your life, and whether it’s causing any distortions you need to correct. Start with this meditation: Is there any way in which you’ve become so focused on the map that you have neglected the territory?

TAURUS

(April 20-May 20): While driving in suburbia, I saw a sign in the yard of a home whose grounds were being renovated. It was an ad for the landscaping company that was doing the work.

“Mesmerize visitors with your garden,” it read.

Judging from your astrological omens, Taurus, I think you’re in an excellent position to do just that.

It’s your turn to enthrall and enchant people with your metaphorical “garden,” whether that’s a gourmet meal you cook, an outing you plan, a set of songs you sing, a report you prepare, or any other fine demonstration of your beauty and talents.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “The best time

for me is when I don’t have any problems that I can’t buy my way out of,” said Andy Warhol. If that formulation is true, you’re going to have a light, warm breeze of a week, Gemini — a time so smooth and easy and free you may wonder if the gods made a mistake and bestowed the sublime karma of some beatific saint on you. Here’s my prediction: The only problems you’ll have will be those you can buy your way out of. And they won’t even be very expensive.

cascade of events that could launch an actual global conflagration. After many scary plot turns, the danger of disaster dissipates when the supercomputer makes a momentous decision: The only way to win the game is to not play it. That approach could work well for you, my fellow Crab. The game you’re playing is nowhere near as dangerous as the one in War Games, of course, but why not play to win?

of thought can be applied to a whole range of bad behavior by people who have technically reached adulthood: They engage in ill-advised actions not out of evil intent but because they’re emotionally immature. Keep that in mind as you deal with anyone who’s doing unreasonable things. Be the composed adult who’s in charge of leading the big babies.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): ButlersGuild.com named

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Danny Anderson

Mr. Ravi Shankar as its Butler of the Year. Serving as Head Butler of the Qasr Al Sharq hotel in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, Shankar “always acts with complete integrity in everything he does.” Your simple yet arduous assignment, Leo, is to be worthy of that same description. Are you up to the challenge? Can you be morally and ethically impeccable, between now and noon on June 18, in every single thing you do and say and think? Do you have the willpower to be absolutely free of hypocrisies, deceits and manipulations? Can you refrain from speaking derisive or careless words about anyone, while at the same time being rigorously authentic and intent on telling the deepest truths?

VIRGO

was out feeding his horses in Prosser, Washington, when a rattlesnake slithered into the barn. Anderson took a shovel and decapitated it. The dangerous creature was neutralized, right? Not quite. When Anderson reached down to pick up the severed head a few minutes later, it pulled off a nightmarish move seen only in horror films: It came back to life just long enough to bite him. Luckily, Anderson was fine after a trip to the hospital to receive antivenom treatment. The metaphorical moral of the story, as far as you Scorpios are concerned: When your brave efforts finally eliminate a threat, don’t let down your guard or get overconfident. Be absolutely positively sure that it’s really gone.

SAGITTARIUS

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “The job of the newspaper is to comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable,” said journalist Finley Peter Dunne.

In that spirit, Virgo, here are your assignments for the coming week: 1. Critique and question and agitate the parts of yourself that are complacent or addicted to convenience. 2. Give help, sympathy and encouragement to the parts of yourself that are off-center or out-of-focus. 3. Shake up the static, habit-entranced situations you see around you. 4.

Be generous and creative with those who are suffering.

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You really have no right to tear yourself down. Badmouthing yourself is a first-degree sin, and so is being mean to yourself or depriving yourself of the care you need to thrive. This is always true, of course, but in the coming week it’s more crucial than ever that you refrain from even the subtlest forms of self-abuse. To be anything less than an imaginative lover and nurturer toward yourself could upset the cosmic equilibrium so profoundly that everyone else would suffer, too. Therefore, you owe it to the rest of us to shower yourself with blessings.

LIBRA

CAPRICORN

into a hunk of pumice. When the transformation is complete, visualize yourself throwing it into a fast-flowing river, and then watch as it gets carried away, ultimately turning into a tiny, bobbing speck that disappears over the horizon.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): In his song

“Bird on a Wire,” Leonard Cohen says, “Like a bird on a wire / Like a drunk in a midnight choir / I have tried in my way to be free.” Your assignment, Aquarius, is to wail, moan, or croon your own personal version of that song. Here’s how I suggest you proceed. First, identify specific actions you’ve taken to advance your quest for liberation. Include even the modest accomplishments and goofball attempts.

Second, imagine the strategies you’ll pursue in the future to get more leeway and latitude for yourself.

You might want to start by purging your mind of beliefs that place unwarranted limitations on you.

Now start singing!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): It’s an ideal time

to stir up fresh insights about important people whose charms you’ve grown numb to . . . to mutate your perspectives about situations you’ve become overly familiar with . . . to come up with revised interpretations for past events about which new information has emerged. To get in the right frame of mind, study these novel definitions of common words, supplied by readers of The Washington Post in response to a contest. Airstrip: to pretend to take off your clothes. Algebra: lingerie worn by mermaids. Blunderbuss: to French-kiss your boss’s wife at the office Christmas party. Bumbling: butt cheek piercings. Fulcrum: a supermodel’s big meal.

Flagellation: beating on your political opponent by questioning his patriotism.

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “I’ve been all over (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Pumice, the world and have lived among every kind of culwhich is created by volcanic eruptions, is filled (June 21-July 22): In the film War ture,” wrote Dan Liebert on mcsweeneys.net, “and with holes, which means that it’s sometimes light Games, a hacker taps in to a remote mainframe and I can say, without any hesitation, that the most enough to glide on the surface of a body of water. begins to play a game he finds there.

You Don’t Mess With the Zohan HHH

R

hairbrained Sandler plays an Israeli commando who gets in touch with his inner stylist.

emember the bit toward the beginning of Judd Apatow’s Knocked Up when Seth Rogen and his mostly Jewish buds are at a bar talking about what a great film Munich is? “In every movie with Jews, we’re the ones getting killed. Munich flips it on its ear,” Rogen’s character rhapsodizes. “We’re capping motherfuckers.

If any of us gets laid tonight, it’s because of Eric Bana.”

That’s a great scene, and I can understand not only why it inspired Adam Sandler to make a movie, but also why he thought it might be a good idea to bring Apatow on board. I’m just speculating about the genesis of You Don’t Mess With the Zohan, of course.

But what are the odds that’s not the case, given the picture’s premise and the fact that Apatow was invited to cowrite the script?

Still, something tells me we’re not going to find

H = refund, please HH = could’ve been worse, but not a lot HHH = has its moments; so-so HHHH = smarter than the average bear HHHHH = as good as it gets

ourselves one day watching a scene in which beer buds invoke Sandler’s latest comedy with the reverence Rogen accorded to Munich. The actor stars here in the role of an Israeli counter-terrorist commando who is a national hero and sex symbol, despite the fact that he works for a covert intelligence agency. The Zohan is a haphazard composite of Rambo, Spiderman and Austin Powers. He has superhuman, gravity-defying, completely unexplained powers, a codpiece the size of a canned ham, and a secret desire to leave the endless Israeli-Palestinian bickering behind and become (ba da bum!) a hairstylist.

Which he sneaks off to the U.S. and does, with the core joke being that he’s tonsorially stuck in the ’80s.

As a young man, the Zohan got his hands on a 1987 Paul Mitchell catalogue and studied the puffy coifs in private, not realizing a new edition is published every year. This explains why, once he gets a job in a salon owned by a beautiful young Palestinian woman (Emmanuelle Chriqui), most of his ’dos look like variations on a Pat Benatar album cover. It doesn’t explain, however, his obsession with disco, just one of the movie’s running gags that quickly run out of steam.

Like Austin Powers, the Zohan speaks with a comical accent, is equal parts secret agent and rock star, and has one foot in this decade and the other in a past one; also like Powers, the Zohan is enormously fond of shagging. In fact, he becomes the most popular stylist in the city by providing that service to his geriatric clients following their shampoo and cut. Another running gag that gets old fast.

And, again like Austin Powers, the Zohan has an arch-enemy. John Turturro costars as a superstar terrorist known as the Phantom. Unlike Dr. Evil, though, this character offers very little that’s particularly original or amusing. He’s simply a cartoon of an evildoer.

Sandler sets his story in a mythical New York

neighborhood where immigrants from Palestine own businesses on one side of the street and Jewish people operate shops on the other. For the most part, they live in harmony. Perhaps the funniest thing about Zohan, in fact, is that it’s meant to be a movie with a message: “We can all just get along!” the caricatures in this microcosmic melting pot practically bellow.

Whenever tensions flare, all it takes is a little comedy to relieve them. At one point, for example, one group accuses the other of defacing a storefront. (The vandalism’s actually the handiwork of hoodlums hired by a villainous urban developer who wants to clear out the neighborhood and turn it into a gleaming shopping center, but that subplot’s so time-worn and tiresome we won’t go into it.) One minute, the ancient enemies appear close to rumbling. The next, they’re swapping naughty jokes about which politically prominent female — Obama’s wife, McCain’s or Hillary (“Ooh, those heavy legs!”) — would be most fun to get into bed.

Locker-room humor. The universal language.

Sandler and company deserve credit, I suppose, for having the gall to appropriate the crisis in the Middle East, global terrorism and post-9/11 paranoia as fodder for a dumb-fest. They would have deserved more, of course, if they’d actually pulled it off. A silly, rambling, cameo-padded, scattershot exercise in self-indulgence, the actor’s latest ranks with Little Nicky as one of the most tedious things he has inflicted on the screen.

Meanwhile, Apatow’s influence is nowhere in evidence.

Almost two hours of hummus gags, plus the mandatory appearance by Rob Schneider — you do the math. You Don’t Mess With the Zohan doesn’t add up to a whole lot more than an excuse for its star to get together with friends, goof around, and go home with a paycheck as oversized as his character’s package.

Kung Fu Panda HHH

S

fat chance A stout ursine’s unlikely dream occasions a pandemic of absurdity in the latest DreamWorks animation.

mart silliness is — or should be — the Holy Grail of kids’ movies. Slapstick involving animated critters with squeaky voices stops being inherently hilarious once you hit the age of 8 or so. But topical satire, parodies of Mike Ovitz and the like sail right over the heads of rugrats. One popular solution is to offer something for everyone wrapped in one shiny, computer-generated package: Bee Movie had plenty of physical comedy, but also jokes about Jewish identity and blow jobs.

That’s one way to keep parents from dozing off. Another is to tap into a vein of absurdity that anyone can appreciate, because it doesn’t depend on a knowledge of grown-up stuff. In classic children’s stories and folktales, humor comes from blithely subverting expectations.

Take an example from this new DreamWorks animation directed by Mark Osborne and John Stevenson: the relationship between the titular bear and his dad, who happens to be a goose. Is portly Po (voiced by Jack Black) adopted? Is that why he dreams of kung fu fighting while his fluttery father aspires to nothing more kick-ass than serving up soup to hungry customers? (“We are noodle folk!” he enjoins his son. “Broth runs through our veins!”) We never find out, and it’s better that way.

A tale set in a “Valley of Peace” where animals talk and praying mantises can qualify as martial-arts masters doesn’t really have to offer explanations for anything.

The movie’s title tells you pretty much everything you need to know about Kung Fu Panda: It’s goofy, it borrows the hero’s-journey structure of a kung fu

flick, and it’s a good way for families to enjoy air-conditioning on a hot day. But the movie is better than its trailer — which showcased jokes about the panda’s girth — would suggest. Mainly that’s because the film’s humor arises from its own characters and situations, not from allusions to MySpace and Disney. The clichés of the genre are mocked, sure, but in a knowing and loving manner. And scenes in the mountaintop training center, where the night sky is spangled with an outrageous quantity of stars, have an epic beauty.

The plot is about as simple as it gets. In the Valley of Peace, every fighter wants to be the Dragon Warrior, a prophesized hero who alone gets to read a magical scroll of power. Ironically, the place doesn’t seem to need a

savior until snow leopard Tai-Lung, the prized protégé of Master Shifu, learns he isn’t the chosen one and goes on a destructive rampage. Imprisoned alone in a cavernous prison with a thousand guards — yes, all guarding just him — Tai-Lung escapes, of course. But, in his inscrutable way, senior Master Oogway (Randall Duk Kim) doesn’t designate one of the Furious Five illustrious warriors as the valley’s defender — even though one of them, a tigress, purrs seductively in the voice of Angelina Jolie. Instead, his eye lights on the panda, a kung-fu fanboy who’s too busy eating to get to the dojo.

Do we know where this is going? Obviously. But the writers stick to what makes tall tales fun, and the actors have fun, too. Though Black is allowed to riff occasionally, he manages to stay in character. Dustin Hoffman lends comic irascibility to his Master, an über-cute goggle-eyed red panda. Voicing the villain, Ian McShane takes a character that recalls Anakin Skywalker from the botched Star Wars prequels and gives him actual menace and pathos.

The stylized creature animation isn’t for all tastes: It recalls those old Kellogg’s commercials with Tony the Tiger. But the action is fast and clever, and the silliness is infectious. In the opening scene, Po dreams about being a hero the way a 10-year-old might: “There is no charge for awesomeness or attractiveness,” he tells his adoring fans. There is a charge for Kung Fu Panda, but it takes what’s awesome about immaturity and runs with it.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have been on two trips to Honduras with Sustainable Harvest International. On both of these trips I was involved in projects whose value was so fundamentally important that the barriers of language and culture were transcended. Whether it was a re-building a school or digging an irrigation canal, learning about bio-gas stoves or quilting co-ops, the SHI experience provides immense long-term assistance to local communities and a lasting personal change.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve come back realizing that these practices are not particular to Honduras; but can be shared and implemented in our own communities.â&#x20AC;?

DIRECTIONS Slice the tomatoes into thick slices and brush them generously with olive oil. Sprinkle them with salt and pepper and place them on a hot grill for about 2 minutes on each side. You want nice grill marks, but not mushy tomatoes! Brush the beef patties with olive oil, season with salt and pepper and grill to desired doneness. For the mayo: combine the mayo, chipotles, cilantro and lime juice in a bowl and mix well. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve burgers on fresh hamburger buns with the mayo, tomatoes and fresh butter lettuce. We love Stewartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s challah rolls for these burgers!

< food> With a halal slaughter facility, a Morrisville farmer becomes an unlikely cultural ambassador

BY SUZANNE PODHAIZER

T

he small custom-slaughtering facility at Morrisville’s Winding Brook Farm is spic and span, save for a tiny puddle of blood that gleams on the drain in the middle of the painted concrete floor. Two electric hoists hang from the ceiling. Not knowing better, one might think they were pieces of exercise equipment for pull-ups or some other kind of strength training. In fact, they’re used to haul animal carcasses aloft.

On the wall hang a number of knives and a hacksaw. The former are used to slaughter and skin goats, sheep and the

ended up with a business in rural Vermont that enables Bosnian and Somali Bantu Muslims to slaughter animals in the way prescribed by the Koran. The term for the method is “halal,” which means “permissible” in Arabic. It involves slitting the animal’s throat while speaking the name of Allah.

Halal meat isn’t easy to come by in the Green Mountains. “These people have a right to participate in their religious convictions,” Meade suggests. “And there’s no place in the state to do it. I allow people to practice their beliefs in clean, safe conditions. They bless the animals. It’s a little bit of home.”

Although Meade sells 25 or 30 animals per month to folks who are prepared to process

Just a few steps away, the farmyard explodes with life. Ducks, chickens, geese, guinea hens and a striking blue peacock run amok, and two farm dogs patrol the premises, located on a well-traveled stretch of Route 100.

Farmer Arthur Meade, bearded and wearing well-worn work clothes in various shades of blue, is eager to explain how a white, “guess you’d say” Baptist farmer from Maine

He fattens up traditional livestock breeds, sends them away to a slaughterhouse in Troy, Vermont, and sells the resulting steaks, chops and roasts to acclaimed local restaurants such as Claire’s, Michael’s on the Hill, The Bee’s Knees, Hen of the Wood, Blue Moon Café and Kismet. He also offers cuts at the Hunger Mountain Co-op and at Morrisville’s year-round farmers’ market. All his meat is state-inspected, he assures.

tural significance and the religious necessity of it,” he muses. “There’s something very significant in being able to put your hands on what you will be eating. It’s not wrapped in a gazillion layers of plastic. You’re seeing that animal and slaughtering it yourself; you’re taking it home to your family.”

Wright admires Meade’s tolerance, too. “He went more than out of his way to accept our community,” he explains. “He’s willing to be open at all hours with little or no notice.”

With Wright’s assurance that his business was “significantly important to the community,” Meade PHOTO: JEB WALLACE-BRODEUR

AT HOOTERS

Meade never tried to carve out a “custom slaughter” niche. He stumbled into it nearly a decade ago, when a Bosnian trucker driving down Route 100 spied the grazing livestock and stopped in to ask if he could butcher his own lamb.

“The answer was no the first two or three times,” Meade says. But it wasn’t long before he acquiesced, and his customer base ballooned.

“In that community, once you do something for one it just grows,” he says. “I never solicited business; it’s purely a word of mouth.”

Just a few months ago, though, Meade wouldn’t have been able to speak candidly with a reporter about this aspect of his business: It wasn’t legal. “A couple years ago we did a Free Press article that got us a raft of shit,” he recalls. The legal requirements for a custom slaughter operation include washable walls and potable water. At the time, Meade wasn’t sure the demand for halal meat was worth the funds he’d need to invest to operate aboveboard, so he allowed his customers to keep coming on the sly.

“I can butcher anything I want on my own farm for my own personal consumption. I was trying to play a little stupid,” he admits.

But he wasn’t pulling the proverbial wool over anyone’s eyes.

“I’m on Route 100 in Morrisville,” Meade says. “I’m pretty visible. It’s not a good idea for [customers] to walk out of here with a lamb over their back on the stick.”

Meade’s side business earned him a slew of letters from the meat-inspection specialists at the Agency of Agriculture, warning him his activities had to cease.

“We had numerous meetings with him,” recalls Meat Inspection Chief Randy Quenneville. But, Quenneville stresses, the goal was to make Meade comply with various state regulations, not to shut down his operation. “There was never a question that there’s a need for [halal slaughter], and we’d like to see more people do it.”

By early 2008, Quenneville and his cohorts were fed up. Their next chastising letter to Meade came with a $2000 fine. “It was pretty frustrating from our side,” Quenneville recalls. “We didn’t want to fine him to make him come into compliance — that’s our last resort — but we’ve got to keep people on the same playing field. The fine could have been 10 times higher,” he adds, “but we don’t want your money. Put your money into your plant.”

In Meade’s mind, though, he’d already put enough money into his plant — at least when he compared it with the competition. “At that point I had seen a major deterioration of my business with the Bosnian community due to some other farms that were doing what I was doing, but with less than sanitary practices,” he says. “I was uncomfortable putting any more money into it knowing I was competing with a market that was substandard to what I was trying to do.”

Before deciding once and for all, Meade consulted George Wright, executive director of a Burlington-area nonprofit called Association of Africans Living in Vermont (AALV). The farmer asked Wright to find out from his contacts in the African community just how meaningful the slaughter operation was to them.

Before he got Meade’s call, Wright knew next to nothing about Winding Brook’s business.

“I was aware that people traveled out of the general Burlington area to acquire fresh goat meat that was slaughtered in the halal fashion.

I was not aware of the specific ARTHUR MEADE

location or the name of the farmer who raised the goats or provided the slaughter,” he explains. “I talked to several people, and everybody seemed to know [Meade] and said really good things about him. It gave me the understanding that this was in the African community’s best interest.”

Abdullahi Hassan, a Somali Bantu who came to Vermont in 2005, certainly thinks so. Although he’s found sources of frozen halal meat imported from Australia and U.S. states with larger Muslim populations, every two months he travels to Morrisville to choose a goat from Meade’s farm.

Hassan says many urban Somalis buy their meat from butchers, but those who now live in Vermont tend to have a more traditional lifestyle. “Most of them were farmers since they were born,” he says. “They were living on the banks of the river and they were producing their own food.”

Consequently, they “like fresh meat that they’ve slaughtered; they don’t want the meat to stay for a long time in the freezer.”

Freshness aside, it’s also comforting to sup on familiar foods such as goat, sweet potatoes and bananas. “The kids that come here at 5 or 6 years [old], they can adapt and be a new American generation,” Hassan says. “Me and the others, we never forget our cultures, so we like to have our original food. Somali Bantus like to have gardens. This food from cans, we don’t like this food.”

The passion Wright encountered when he inquired about Meade’s business convinced him to get involved. “There’s the cul-

finally committed to getting the appropriate permits and permissions to appease the ag department. Because Winding Brook is a “bona fide farm,” he says, the operation is exempt from certain Act 250 regulations that would have made compliance financially unattainable. With Wright backing him up at a hearing, his fine was reduced to a mere $500.

“He went to bat for me,” Meade says. The farmer already had an implementation grant from the Vermont Housing and Conservation Board to help build the facility, and had resolved some water-quality issues through Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS). We were able to incorporate wastewater disposal and composting of my renderings, so that everything is properly taken care of for the environment,” he says.

At the same time, a savvy business move Meade made in 2006 is helping the bottom line: “I’d called up the food-stamp people and said, ‘This is probably the stupidest question you’ve ever been asked, but can somebody use food stamps to buy a live animal?’” he recalls. “The guy said, ‘As long as it leaves dead.’” On the first of the month — his busiest day by far — Meade’s customers pay with a little help from Uncle Sam. The folks in state government couldn’t be happier with the way things turned out. Says Quenneville, “Now we can even tell people when they come looking that there’s a place that can meet their needs for the custom slaughter of animals.” >> 07B

SIDE DISHES » food news

After facing a “perfect storm of issues,” John Mayfield, owner of 5-year-old Sean & Nora’s in Barre, has decided to close the restaurant where he offered up “food from America’s neighborhoods.”

“Sean & Nora’s has never been a hugely successful business venture,” he admits. “But it was always a labor of love.” Locals considered the eatery, named for Mayfield’s grandparents, a splurge for special occasions.

For Mayfield and his family, Sean & Nora’s was more than just a source of income. “My daughter was 2 years old when we opened the restaurant,” he says. “Now I have to explain to her why it isn’t there anymore. Other than the loss of a family member,” Mayfield goes on, “[deciding to close] was the toughest thing I’ve ever had to do.”

It’s not hard to see whence the “perfect storm” arose. The rising costs of food and fuel crunched the restaurant’s profit margin and made customers more reluctant to spend their hard-earned dollars.

Meanwhile, Mayfield faced competition from a slew of “new and revitalized eateries,” such as the L.A.C.E. Café, Pit Stop Diner, Stonecutters Brew House and El Sol Mexican Grill, all of which opened in Barre over the past 18 months. Though he admires the entrepreneurial energies at work in his town, Mayfield says, “The number of customers was shrinking, and the pie just got cut into smaller and smaller pieces.”

But the restaurateur believes he might have survived tough times had it not been for an unfounded rumor that began circulating last year and “really took root in November.” Word on the street was that the restaurant was going out of business — the proverbial self-fulfilling prophecy.

“It affected the booking of parties, the ability to hire key staff and the sale of gift cards,” Mayfield laments. All three were crucial to getting through winter’s slow period. “As long as we came close to breaking even, we were ready to keep going,” Mayfield explains, but “when [these factors] all came together, we couldn’t.”

Softening the blow a bit is the growth of the entrepreneur’s catering business, which he will continue to operate, and the success of his Montpelier-area Mexican eatery Julio’s Cantina.

“Julio’s will go on; there will be no changes,” Mayfield avers. “It seems to have the price point and the atmosphere that people are looking for during difficult times. You can go to Julio’s for dinner and a drink and be out of there for less than $25 or $30 per couple.”

As we head deeper into recession, Mayfield says, he hopes locals will take two lessons to heart.

One is that “Vermont is small, and rumors do damage to businesses; they really do have an impact.”

The other: “We all need to support our locally owned and operated business. Non-local businesses might hire local people, which is a good thing, but the profits leave Vermont. We need to support each other and keep things going.”

Resort Resto Vermont’s hottest property, the ecologically friendly Stowe Mountain Lodge, opens this Saturday. But its two restaurants, the moderately casual Hourglass Bar & Lounge and Solstice — touted as a fine-dining destination with an extensive localvore menu — quietly started serving sumptuous fare late last week.

Executive Chef Sean Buchanan, formerly of Wood Creek Farm and the Middlebury Inn, sources as many products as possible from Vermont’s artisan producers. He crafts them into dishes such as “Wood Creek Farm steak and maplebraised short rib with truffled Butterworks Farm polenta,” and “apple-brined pork loin with smoked apple butter and local braised greens accented with bacon.”

Two prix-fixe options appeal to the deep-pocketed: four courses for $75 and seven courses for $125. Of the tasting menus, resort Sales Manager Josh Novotny boasts, “Sean will take people on a

FRESH SALSA MAY HAVE TO WAIT

Killer tomatoes from other states? Although no cases of illness have been reported in the Green Mountains, the Vermont Department of Health is warning people to stay away from potentially dangerous red fruits because of a spate of salmonella sweeping the country. “The tomatoes here in Vermont that were suspect were pulled from the shelves yesterday,” says Agency of Agriculture Public Information Officer Kelly Loftus. “From my understanding, the tomatoes that were involved in the recall came from Texas and New Mexico.”

Loftus, who notes that it’s not yet tomato season in Vermont, proudly points out that there has never been a recall of Vermont-grown produce.

That’s just one benefit of buying local, she suggests. “Consumers really want to know where and how their food is grown.” Buying from the guy or gal down the road makes that possible.

For now, the FDA is encouraging tomato fiends to munch on varieties that aren’t associated with the outbreak: cherry, grape, “on the vine” varieties and “tomatoes grown at home.”

Loftus also “uddered” a few comments about Vermont’s new dairy mascot — created in a collaboration between the ag agency and the Vermont Dairy Promotion Council — whose name is yet to be determined. “We have a naming contest going right now, which will run through the end of June,” Loftus says. No, you can’t call her Killer. The names on the table are standard bovine fare: Clover, Buttercup and Daisy.

According to Loftus, the “professional mascot,” which will travel to events around the state, is a garden-variety heifer rather than a hip mama.

“She’s white with reddish-brown spots,” Loftus says. “Right now she’s wearing overalls adorned with some flowers.” So far, the kids who have met Clovercupsy have “been ecstatic, and that gives us a segue to grab their attention and talk to them about the importance of dairy in Vermont,” he adds.

Dabutterlover’s real identity will be announced at a Vermont Mountaineers game at the end of the month.

Buttsyclove isn’t the only flower-bedecked bovine to have graced our streets of late. Last weekend, an estimated 45,000 people showed up to watch 100 of ’em “moo-ve” through downtown Brattleboro during the seventh annual “Strolling of the Heifers.” It’s like being in Pamplona, but without the running and goring.

Novotny describes Solstice as having “floor-toceiling windows with a view of Spruce Peak, and an open kitchen.” Vermonters made the tables, pottery and every bit of art in the dining room.

The resort even commissioned its own beer from Rock Art Brewery in Morrisville, and a unique coffee blend created by Vermont Artisan Coffee & Tea Co. in Waterbury.

The personnel is a point of pride, too: “Sean is a very engaging person, and he was really able to pull a staff of true culinarians,” Novotny says.

Overall, he says, “The idea is truly to celebrate all things Vermont and to create an experience that’s unique to Vermont.”

As a youngster in Brattleboro, Barber didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t dream of being a chef. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re growing up, you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think about food as a source of work,â&#x20AC;? he points out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You just eat it.â&#x20AC;?

For him, it was more about pliĂŠs than soufflĂŠs. After studying philosophy at Middlebury College, Barber leapt into a career in modern dance, as did fellow student Heekin. â&#x20AC;?One of the reasons I looked for work at a restaurant was that there was flexibility that allowed me to continue dancing,â&#x20AC;? Barber recalls.

The couple studied at New Yorkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Erick Hawkins Dance, and even formed their own troupe back in Middlebury. But eventually they decided to start a business, and wanted that business to be food-related. A yearlong honeymoon in Italy gave them a serious yen for the ultrafresh local cuisine. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At some point, I think it was after we had moved back from Italy and we were living in Middlebury, we realized that we had to eat at least two meals a day for the rest of our lives,â&#x20AC;? Barber says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our time in Italy had made us appreciate how much pleasure could come from that.

It would be borderline tragic if we couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enjoy our meals every day . . . It seemed so elemental to us.â&#x20AC;?

They opened a bakery, which then morphed into an award-winning eatery.

Barber and Heekinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s success hinges on more than the food itself: â&#x20AC;&#x153;We definitely try to cultivate an atmosphere in our restaurant,â&#x20AC;?

Barber says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Of course, we have things in the restaurant that might

evoke Italian-ness, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more about a feeling and a kind of attention, something less specific than artifacts.â&#x20AC;?

The Pane e Salute menu makes us hungry just reading it, so we decided to grill Caleb Barber about his food philosophy.

How did your family eat when you were growing up?

Simply and well: I would say it was simple, homemade farm cooking.

Mom collected cookbooks and read cookbooks and would do new things.

It was always good.

We had a family dinner almost every night. Except Sunday night was â&#x20AC;&#x153;every-man-for-himselfâ&#x20AC;? night.

On Sunday I ate a lot of fried-egg sandwiches and hamburgers.

My mom has always been a gardener; she grew up on a farm in New Hampshire . . . and we had a vegetable garden when we were growing up; everybody had one. I certainly appreciated what came out of it, but I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like being in it. My mom gets a pretty good kick out of the fact that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re building gardens at the house to grow vegetables for the restaurant.

Back then, were there any foods you just detested?

Brussels sprouts. In fact, I had a signed declaration, witnessed by my brother and mother, stating that I could not be made to eat Brussels sprouts until further notice, which was not forthcoming. My mom found this document in a box of my papers somewhere, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s now framed in my kitchen at home.

How do you feel about Brussels sprouts nowadays?

I love Brussels sprouts.

Name three foods that make life worth living.

Cheese, wine â&#x20AC;&#x201D; I definitely subscribe to the Old World attitude that wine is part of the food â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and guanciale [cured pigâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s jowls]. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a couple of cheeks curing right now.

Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the weirdest dish youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve tried?

Huh. The things Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve eaten, I really donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think of as strange. [Certain edibles] are more esoteric, but for some people, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just food.

When you have time to cook at home, what do you make?

I like to make Indian food. I like to make, sometimes, Chinese-style food.

I like creating dinner on those nights when we havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really planned everything at all, and you just kind of dig through the pantry and refrigerator and pull out stuff, and you realize that you have everything to make such and such, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what you make.

Speaking of pantries, what items are always in yours?

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been lamenting the state of my own pantry lately. Beans, like chickpeas or cannellini; coconut milk; stuffed grape leaves. Maybe a good canned pâtĂŠ of some kind. Crushed tomatoes, definitely; curry paste; cornmeal; sardines for snacks and anchovies for cooking. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty good.

Imagine you have an all-expenses-paid trip to any country you want to eat in. Where do you go?

I think Japan. What I want to experience there is eating in some of the older restaurant establishments, some of which are several hundred years old and still in the same building. I want to experience the tradition.

You can cook for anybody, dead or alive. Whom do you choose?

Jacques Pépin.

If you weren’t a chef, what would your job be?

Um, I wish I could say ball player.

I did go to a Vermont Expos try-out once, just to see what that was like.

What position?

Outfield. But really, I think I’d be a coach for runners; probably track races, middle and short distance.

What’s your favorite thing about cooking in Vermont right now?

I would say the increasingly holistic attitude towards our food in this state.

Name a local restaurant that you patronize.

Local is pretty big for us, because when we go out to eat, we’re willing to go a long distance. We like to go to the Barnard Inn. When we’re on our way to Montréal, we like to stop at Pho Dang in Winooski, Yama in West Lebanon. And there’s a new

Why Jacques?

Because we had to cook once for Julia Child: She came to Pane e Salute back in the day for lunch.

She was fairly infirm by that time and was in a wheelchair [and came] with her nephew and his wife — they were in town for a wedding.

They’d driven by, seen the sign, and turned around and come back.

Lunch had cleared out and there was nobody eating.

We had this young guy who was cooking lunch for us at the time. He started off baking with me in the morning, and we taught him how to do the lunch menu and make soup.

So, in fact, I waited on Julia, and this young guy Nate cooked them lunch. I didn’t say anything to him; I just told him, “One last table,” and he rolled his eyes.

I knew exactly what she was going to order. On our lunch menu, we’ve always had roasted chicken with roasted potatoes and salad.

According to her writing, that is her favorite meal: The classic meal that she turns to when she’s been away from home and wants to feel that

James Beard’s Theory and Practice of Good Cooking. It’s just such a great introduction to the basics that it’s like a $29.95 culinary institute home cooking course.

And then, I would say, any cookbook that really calls to you, whether it’s an ethnic cookbook or a cookbook by a particular author about a particular place. Something that gets you fired up about cooking when you read it.

My favorite cookbook is a doorstop of a cookbook. It’s a regional Italian cookbook and it’s just got all the regions and all of these old, basic preparations. For me, those would probably be the two.

Meade says Quenneville “told me the agency was really happy to see that I was legal. They treated me very fair in the process of doing this,” he admits.

Now that the law is off his WHEN: Thursday june 19th from 2pm to 6pm back, Meade is settling down to WHY: to thank you for our FIRST delicious business. The gruff former indusyear as a restaurant. trial-arts teacher and plumbingsupply salesman acknowledges he’s had to adjust to the business culture of his clientele. “I’m here most of the time, so I may have created my own monster,” he says.

“With the language barrier, they 2x4-SkinnyPancake061108.indd 1 6/10/08 11:50:09 AM don’t tend to call ahead much.

They’ll call and say, ‘You got big goat?’ and I’ll say yes. But you don’t know exactly when they’ll show up. Sometimes I get frustrated because somebody will call and say, ‘We’re on the road,’ and 9 Mondays from 6 – 9 pm starting Sept. 15th three hours later they’ll call and say, ‘We’re just leaving.’”

Additionally, Meade has to haggle over the price of each sheep and goat. “They find the animal This course will give you a strong foundation in the basics that suits their needs,” he says. “The of healthy eating and nutritional therapy. younger goats go by the pound; We will share vital information, delicious foods, and good cheer. the older dairy goats are per head, 399 Center Rd., Middlesex, VT but there’s no real fixed price . . .

If I have animals that aren’t as fat and juicy as some other ones, I price them accordingly.” Customers don’t have to pay extra to use Meade’s slaughtering facility. “It’s a fringe benefit,” he says.

But he won’t deal the deathblow for them. Meade says he’s “never wanted to operate a slaughterhouse, to slaughter animals myself, as Arthur Meade.

What I want to do and am doing is offering a clean, safe environment for people to process their own animals — sheep, goats, veal that they’ve bought from me — as long as the animals are treated humanely.

Later this summer, those coffers may grow significantly.

2x4-quatre061108.indd 1 6/9/08 5:48:07 PM Meade recently heard through his grapevine that “there’s supposed to be another 250 to 300 Arabicspeaking people moving in this summer,” many of whom may be Muslims, he surmises.

Is Winding Brook Farm a sign of things to come in a state not known for its cultural diversity?

Meade sees Vermont as a hospitable place for immigrants.

“Maybe it’s just because we’re open-minded, and you don’t get lost in the shuffle.”

George Wright thinks the farmer-entrepreneur deserves credit, too. “There are a wide range of perspectives in the community about New Americans,” he points out, “and this is somebody who didn’t fall prey to those easy arguments and has seen people as people.” >

And that’s exactly what she ordered. So I’m picking up the plates, and everything looks perfect, and I say to him: “Nate, you just cooked lunch for Julia Child.” He knew who she was and understood that something had just happened.

FULLY DILATED ::

Few underground hip-hop acts are as critically acclaimed and commercially accomplished as California’s

Dilated Peoples. Revered for the witty and incisive lyrical prowess of emcees Evidence and Rakaa Iriscience, and the virtuosic turntable stylings of DJ Babu — a founding member of legendary DJ crew The Beat Junkies — the trio has managed to achieve widespread appeal while maintaining credibility amongst hip-hop purists.

This Tuesday, the celebrated troupe drops some knowledge with fellow underground luminaries The Alchemist, Aceyalone and 88-Keys at the Higher Ground Ballroom.

nightclub, he opens a . . . um, well, another nightclub. Thanks, Big Guy! Filling a need that likely existed even before Middle Earth succumbed to the fires of Mordor, Burke Mountain ski area has renovated its Tamarack Bar and Grill and re-opened the space as a legitimate music venue.

The joint seats 130 to 200, depending on the nature of the show.

Its grand unveiling last weekend featured country crooner Mark LeGrand, who christened the summerlong Burke Mountain Music Series.

The lineup consists largely of folkier fare at the moment, but after the venueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s organizers get a feel for what kind of acts work in the CHERRY CASSETTE space, they expect to broaden their horizons.

Maybe even book some of that rock â&#x20AC;&#x2122;nâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; roll music the kids are all talkinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; about! For more info and a full schedule, visit www.skiburke.com.

Welcome to the fold, Tamarack.

SOUNDS FROM THE UNDERGROUND

Ah, the summer blockbuster! Perhaps other than oppressive heat waves and the annual Red Sox â&#x20AC;&#x153;June swoon,â&#x20AC;? nothing signifies the arrival of summer quite like the flood of lightweight celluloid schlock currently occupying cineplex screens around the country. Whether an aging action star with a bullwhip, a recovering drug addict in a metal suit or four men-obsessed â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but independent! â&#x20AC;&#x201D; NYC socialites, the popcorn flick has become as much an unofficial indicator of summer as Memorial Day. Vermontâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s music scene has its own version of the phenomenon â&#x20AC;&#x201D; though, thankfully, on a smaller and significantly less cheesy scale.

For whatever reason, the roughly six-and-a-half weeks we call summer in the Green Mountains is typically loaded with new releases from artists of all stripes. New bands and old standbys alike seem to choose this time of year to unleash their latest aural assaults on our eager ears. Everyone needs a soundtrack to summer, and if the early returns are any indication, we should all have one hell of a mixtape by the time September rolls around.

So, with that in mind, letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s devote this installment of Soundbites to discussing some of the new sounds, faces and spaces on the menu for summer of ought-eight.

Speaking of old friends, GTDâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Burnt MD is reviving his longrunning Ill Sessions hip-hop series this week, and it seems heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s moving up in the world. This Friday, Higher Groundâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Showcase Lounge plays host to â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ill 10: Friday the 13th,â&#x20AC;? which serves as a dual CD release party for headlining act Akrobatik of The Perceptionists and Burnt MD and Tha Professorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new selftitled offering.

I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t heard Akrobatikâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Absolute Value yet â&#x20AC;&#x201D; you can bet itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s excellent. But I have heard Burntâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest offering and can tell you it is easily his finest effort to date â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and his last mixtape was pretty damned good. The man works as hard as anyone around town and the new disc bears that out, both in production and artistic quality. It also boasts some legit underground heavyweights, including Planet Asia, Akrobatik and DJ Touchphonics as well as cameos from longtime collaborator Network. Oh, yeah, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also â&#x20AC;&#x153;hostedâ&#x20AC;? by Bostonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s DJ On & On from Beantown hip-hop station JAMâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;N 94.5.

The disc is available at www.undergroundhiphop.com. Or you can pick it up at the show and catch Akrobatik, Burnt MD & Tha Professor, The Problemaddicts (Best. Hip-hop. Name. Ever), Sophistafunk, The Higher Concept and Blak Madeen live in the process. Such a deal.

BLEEDING FRENZY

Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re baaack! Following a harrowing jaunt to southerly climes this winter â&#x20AC;&#x201D; lead singer Joey Pizza Slice was run over by a truck â&#x20AC;&#x201D; enigmatic indie savants Nose Bleed Island are back in the Queen City.

The groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s critically acclaimed (by this critic, anyway) More Tales From The Blood Island was one of the finest releases of 2007 and seemed almost an exercise in controlled chaos. Immaculately produced but endearingly offbeat and clumsy, the album got heavy play on the iPods of legions of local indie audiophiles. However, the bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s live show is as curiously unpredictable as More Tales was curiously refined. That dichotomy left a bad taste in the mouths of those expecting the latter, while delighting those more NB13 in tune with the former. But hey, you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t please everybody.

This Friday â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the 13th, no less â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the band celebrates its return, and first Vermont show in about five months, at Radio Bean. The evening will double as a release party for NBIâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new 7-inch, which features â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lazy Dream With Suzy Sueâ&#x20AC;? on Side A â&#x20AC;&#x201D; probably my favorite cut from More Tales. Side B showcases the previously unreleased tune â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rosalina,â&#x20AC;? written and sung by 12-year-old drummer Z-Bear, as well as a re-recorded version of the More Tales tune â&#x20AC;&#x153;Vamps.â&#x20AC;?

EARLY BIRD GETS THE . . .

CHEAP TIX

NEW BAND ALERT!

Just a quick announcement before we close this edition with a bang: Early-bird discounted tickets â&#x20AC;&#x201D; $40 plus service fees â&#x20AC;&#x201D; for this summerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Northeast Kingdom Music Festival are on sale now at Pure Pop Records in Burlington, Riverwalk Records in Montpelier and the Lake Parker Country Store in West Glover. The deal runs until Friday, June 20.

In the opening paragraph, I alluded to some â&#x20AC;&#x153;new facesâ&#x20AC;? releasing albums this summer. One such group of fresh-faced cherubs is Burlingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cherry Cassette, who will unveil their debut offering this Saturday at Club Metronome. Fans of ironic hipster metal, take note.

Some unmastered cuts from the new disc are available on the bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s MySpace page and, from the sound of them, those who dig band influences Eagles of Death Metal and Wolfmother will find a lot to like. Members Jet Jaguar, Jimmy Pointless, John â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ladyfingersâ&#x20AC;? Henderman and Sparks Douse simply ooze sleazy pop-metal charm. And I mean that in the best way possible.

The band is reportedly heading out on an East Coast tour this summer, so catch â&#x20AC;&#x2122;em while you can.

TRUMPETS BLOW!

OK, maybe we wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t close with a bang as much as a bleat, but still, local trumpet players will want to jot this one down.

This Monday marks the opening sessions of the third annual Chosen Vale International Trumpet Seminar at the Center for Advanced Musical Studies at Chosen Vale in Enfield, N.H. Participants will be completely immersed in the instrument from dusk to dawn as they learn from 45 of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most prominent trumpeters. The two-week-long seminar encompasses virtually every facet of trumpet playing, from history to composition to performance. While the studies remains largely in the classical realm, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a noted emphasis on â&#x20AC;&#x153;cutting-edgeâ&#x20AC;? music and improvisation.

For information on performances or to apply for the seminar, visit www.chosenvalemusic.org. Bleat on!

NEW CLUB ALERT!

14 HAWAII 5-0 :: For most local bands, the typical tour consists of schlepping around from bar to bar, playing poorly attended shows for semi-interested, jaded East Coast audiences, getting shortchanged by club owners and having their van break down or burglarized. And then thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s The

Pulse Prophets. The reggae-

rock quintet recently wrapped up a whirlwind Hawaiian excursion and, even in the face of typical tour horror stories â&#x20AC;&#x201D; double bookings, a fire at Willie Nelsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s club â&#x20AC;&#x201D; reports nothing but good vibes, mon. Maybe thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something to that â&#x20AC;&#x153;irieâ&#x20AC;? thing after all. This Saturday, the group returns home for a gig at Nectarâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s with The Well.

BILL SIMS JR. & MARK LAVOIE, BILL SIMS JR. & MARK LAVOIE

BANJO DAN AND THE MID-NITE PLOWBOYS, FIRE IN THE SUGARHOUSE (CD, self-produced)

(Delta Groove Productions, CD)

Too many modern musicians are seemingly devoted to fighting even the merest suggestion of genre classification. So it’s refreshing to come across an album that the most acoustically challenged record-store employee could properly file on the retail shelf. On their self-titled debut, longtime friends and collaborators Bill Sims Jr. and Mark LaVoie never stray far from time-tested Delta blues. But that suits them — and the record — just fine.

For 15 years, Sims and LaVoie have worked Vermont’s festival and club circuit on acoustic guitar and vocals, and soulful harmonica, respectively. While the instrumentation is sparse, the music is anything but dull. Though the songs have a classic blues sound, the collection still feels fresh and original. There’s a genuine joy in each of the 13 tracks that make it easy to picture the two musicians smiling as they belt and blow.

While much of the material hovers between slow and mid-tempo, “Gotta Go Down” — one of the album highlights — is a sped-up list of life lessons in which Sims doles out pleas for enlightenment about relationships, children, the homeless and the environment. “We gotta learn how to treat this planet, got to go down,” he muses. “Ashes to ashes and dust to dust, the life we livin’ might not be enough.” The songwriting here is direct and powerful, with little need for extraneous verbiage or complicated metaphor.

Both musicians showcase their finely honed skills throughout. “Go Down Hannah” and the long-time Sims staple “Blues for Breakfast” highlight the singer’s rich, plaintive vocals and carefully constructed riffs.

“Telephone Blues” and “Meanest Old Woman” allow LaVoie to demonstrate his considerable chops on the harp.

LaVoie takes on the vocal responsibilities for “Diggin’ My Potatoes” and laces the track with some of the more fully realized harmonica runs on the album. No doubt many of these cuts could stretch pleasantly into longer, free-flowing jam sessions in live performance, but on the record they’re neat and well organized.

Sims and LeVoie are individually talented musicians who together have crafted a genuine blues album that fans of the genre will love and any music fan should enjoy.

Central Vermont musician “Banjo” Dan Lindner takes his sweet time when it comes to releasing CDs with his Mid-Nite Plowboys. The group is undeniably Vermont’s longest-running, uninterrupted bluegrass combo — Banjo Dan, his brother Willy and guitarist and crooner Al Davis have been playing under the Plowboys moniker for at least 35 years. Fire in the Sugarhouse, the band’s first recording since Some Rust . . . Runs Good in 2000, was worth the wait.

The disc showcases many of the things the Plowboys do best, such as singing group harmony. Like other “sibling” bands known for lush vocals — the Everlys, the Roches and The Beach Boys come to mind — the Lindner brothers and Davis really do sound as though they’ve been singing together for decades.

“New” arrival Jon Drake — he’s only been with the band for 14 years — provides the high lonesome notes. Fiddler Phil Bloch is the only one who doesn’t sing. But he provides sweet, high fiddling throughout the recording.

All of the Plowboys are fine instrumentalists, so solid playing from all parties is a given on their CDs. The 14 tracks include a mix of original compositions, bluegrass standards — Bloch recreates Kenny Baker’s arrangement of the fiddle classic “Washington County” with aplomb — and a few tracks by contemporary songwriters. One of my current favorites is the Willy Lindner composition “Yankee Requiem,” which uses for the refrain an inscription found on an old gravestone, and features still more impressive vocal work by all four singers.

Another Lindner brothers project is The Sky Blue Boys, in which Dan and Willy honor the style of the fabled Bolick Brothers, Earl and Bill — also known as The Blue Sky Boys. The Bolicks were country-music stars who peaked in the late 1930s. Their vocal harmonies and mix of religious and secular string-band music had a profound influence on The Everly Brothers, who in turn inspired Simon and Garfunkel — and then the rest of us. Some of the strongest tracks on Fire actually sound more like The Blue Sky Boys than bluegrass forbears The Stanley Brothers. That said, the CD’s final track, “Harbor of Love,” is a Carter Stanley classic, and has some of the best choirboy vocals on the disc.

Fire in the Sugarhouse grows on you. It’s another fine disc from Vermont’s venerable string-band veterans.

Soul Man? Funk legend Maceo Parker offers a tribute to soul legend Ray Charles

BY DAN BOLLES

F

or almost as long as there has been funk music, there has been Maceo Parker. The legendary sax player cut his teeth with the Godfather of Soul, James Brown, was a key figure in George Clinton’s Parliament Funkadelic, and has influenced generations of funk musicians over the course his 40-plus-year career.

Backed by Germany’s Grammywinning WDR Big Band, Parker recently released a seemingly unlikely double-disc tribute to one of his own influences: R&B icon Ray Charles.

Entitled Roots & Grooves, the album is a tender ode from one great to another, and ably blends Charles’ soul with Parker’s irrepressible funk.

Seven Days recently chatted with Parker by phone, in advance of his upcoming performance at the Higher Ground Ballroom.

SD: What was the inspiration behind the tribute album?

MACEO PARKER: Well, this was a first for me as far as working with, or in front of, a big band. When the news Maceo Parker plays this Saturday, June 14, at the Higher Ground Ballroom in South Burlington, 9 p.m. $20/23. AA.

THE

got to me that there might be a project working with a big band, automatically — and I don’t know why — my brain just jumped to Ray Charles. I mean, as soon as I heard about it.

I said, “If it happens, when they introduce me, I’m gonna come out like Ray Charles. You know, the Ray Charles swagger with the shade glasses and tapping my leg and the whole thing. And the only difference is, I’m gonna have a saxophone in my left hand. And I’m gonna do that Ray Charles walk right to the saxophone stand and put the sax down and go right back to the piano and play that first song, the first little bluesy, bigband kinda Count Basie whatever on piano.”

When I was visualizing all that I said, “Yeah, people are gonna eat that up.” And I did it exactly like that, and people liked it. It was great.

SD: But in addition to acting the part, your vocal work is eerily close to Ray’s.

MP: Once I discovered that my singing voice is a little close to his — I kinda imitated him a little bit at first — that became another given as far as my “doing him.”

The repair guy who does repair on my saxophone heard the stuff before he

actually knew that I had done it. And he thought it was me playing saxophone but with Ray Charles singing. I mean, that’s really what he thought. He was like, “Goodness gracious, Maceo never told me about this. That he had a chance to do studio stuff with Ray Charles!” It was crazy, man. But I guess in a good way.

SD: What is it about Ray’s music that inspires you?

MP: I started liking Ray Charles when I was very, very young. It got to a point where I could sort of pick and choose . . . There’s a point before you get to where you can pick and choose where you’ve got to just listen to whatever older people or whoever owns the records, you’ve gotta listen to what they prefer. But when you’re old enough to buy your own stuff . . . somehow Ray Charles was just at the top all the time.

And I’ve always dug him.

I just like his style. Like if you say “James Brown,” it’s just like his style, which means his concept of things should be done. Each individual has his or her own style. Otis Redding, for instance, or Marvin Gaye. I just liked Ray Charles’ style. I liked the way he delivered, how it sounds like he really felt what he’s singing. That he’d really gone through and experienced

@ KL SPORT • 210 COLLEGE ST. 860-4600, KLSPORTGEAR.COM

everything he’s singing, which, to me, I heard the feeling, stuff MACEO PARKER coming from the heart. The soul. To the point where I thought, if I could play a ballad, like a slow tune, the way Ray Charles sings, man, somebody in that audience is gonna say, “Man, that was really, really nice.”

SD: Most people might not guess that Ray Charles had such a profound effect on you as a sax player. Who else influenced you that folks might not expect?

MP: You gotta talk about saxophone playing first. But when I don’t have the saxophone, just clowning around, there’s gotta be some James Brown in there. But James Brown’s music is sort of my music, too.

But again, getting into Ray Charles at an early age, I was sort of into his saxophone players, too. David “Fathead” Newman, Frank Crawford, Leroy Cooper. But I was also into King Curtis, Stanley Turrentine, Cannonball Adderley.

I chose not to really go into the jazzy stuff, for some reason. At first I was thinking, Wait a minute, Maceo Parker. Charlie Parker. All I gotta do is

really cram and come out with Maceo Parker plays Charlie Parker. That’s all I’ve got to do. Then I thought, Maybe that’s not such a good idea. What about Maceo Parker plays Maceo Parker? I just gotta figure out what Maceo Parker is.

Right out of high school, there were all these people trying to do the jazzy stuff. Nobody wanted to play funky. So there’s 25 people in this room competing to play jazzy stuff and about two over in this room playin’ funky. I think I’ll go with funky.

SD: What are your thoughts on current funk music?

MP: I look at funk music like people are always going to want to dance. If it’s funky, you’re gonna want to dance.

So my take on funky music has always been the same. What I felt about “funky music” — where it stands, where it’s going, blah, blah blah. It’s the same as when I was 16, 17 years old.

As long as people want to dance, funky music’s gonna be around. >

Take out the Euro-Trash Imagine The Ramones in a mock ’n’ roll version of Cabaret, and you’ve got the “inspired, brilliantly executed lunacy” of Die Roten Punkte. The Berlin-based brother-and-sister act known as Astrid and Otto Rot use tiny instruments to strum und drang about being “The Best Band in the World.” Their new album, Super Musikant [Super Musician], takes aim at the entire self-aggrandizing music business in songs such as “We Go on Tour” and “I Like to Rock.” Die Roten Punkte — auf Englisch, The Red Dots — lead the new wave of artists against das Capitalism. The Rots’ oddball odyssey makes a pit stop at the Montréal Fringe Festival, where all the postmodern punks come out to play.

scene@ GREEN MOUNTAIN MOTORHEADS CAR SHOW photo: Tim Calabro

MAIN STREET, BARRE, SATURDAY, JUNE 7, 3 P.M.

Before exploring the Green Mountain Motorheads Car Show in Barre this weekend, I had to get myself in the right state of mind. So, I stopped at the Pit Stop Diner on Main St. for a dose of NASCAR memorabilia and a bacon cheeseburger.

Loaded with a belly full of grease, I hit the block, where scores of cars were lined up with their hoods popped. I found that if I gave the cars a good onceover and nodded at the owner, people thought I knew what I was doing. Truth is, I don’t know the first thing about cars. I kept doing it anyway, because it helped take my mind off the fact that I was wearing jeans and a black T-shirt on a 90degree day.

The car show seemed to have two parts: the show itself on Main St. and the “burn-out” contest that ensued later. I found the show to be almost intellectual, like an art exhibit. The owners weren’t exactly conceptualizing their automobiles like pieces of art, but criticisms and accolades were definitely shared and discussed. The only difference is that the car owners, unlike artists, were able to drive their work home.

The “burn-out” contest was a different story. It took place in a back alley where hordes of men were hollering and waving their shirts in the air. It amazed me to see the piles of smoldering rubber being swept off the pavement after each car burned out. Sometimes there was so much smoke that I couldn’t see the car anymore. Those were the real crowd pleasers.

Afterwards, as I was walking back to my own car, I heard Del Shannon’s “Runaway” come on the loudspeaker. Immediately, I felt an urge to roll a pack of cigarettes in my shirtsleeve, steal one of the vintage pickups, and race Harrison Ford down Thunder Road. I guess car shows will do that to you.

AS THE CROWFOOT FLIES

6/5/08 12:27:01 PM

Saturday, July 12, 2008

Crowfoot can’t be pigeonholed. Drawing from English, Irish, Québecois and Appalachian roots, the trio has cultivated a new tradition of folk tunes. When they aren’t bouncing between rich harmonies and haunting ballads, Crowfoot soar into trance-like grooves and infectious instrumentals. The trio — composed of Adam Broome on guitar and cittern, Jaige Trudel on fiddle and cello, and Nicholls Williams on flute and accordion — plays everywhere the crow flies. Catch them at a Burlington contra dance, or learn more about their foot-stomping, sky-high sounds during an afternoon workshop at the Summit School of Traditional Music and Culture, followed by a concert at Bethany Church in Montpelier.

at The Old Lantern, Charlotte, VT Tickets on sale at: www.flynntix.org Doors open at 4pm Chicken Bar-B-Q at 5pm, included in the ticket price*. Entertainment from 7pm-10pm *tickets for BBQ must be purchased by 7/1/08

Dartmouth English Professor Gretchen Holbrook Gerzina has found two Prince charmings. But her latest book, Mr. and Mrs. Prince: How an Extraordinary Eighteenth-Century Family Moved out of Slavery and Into Legend, isn’t a fairy tale. The prolific host of NPR’s “The Book Show” plays historical detective to tell the story of freed slaves Abijah and Lucy Prince. When the entrepreneur and his poet bride moved to Guilford, Vermont, in the late 1700s to pursue the American Dream, a nightmarishly racist white neighbor tried to run them out. Standing their ground, Mr. and Mrs. Prince took their battle to the state supreme court and brought home a decisive victory for all African-Americans. But the plot really thickens when the author discovers her own connection to the couple.

Take a Walk On the THREE RINGS IN TWO ACTS P.T. Barnum was his own best act â&#x20AC;&#x201D; magically transforming a sideshow startup into the Greatest Show on Earth. But the legendary producer always took backstage to his performers, until Broadway turned Barnum into a star. St. Michaelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Playhouse brings Phineas Taylor Barnumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s three-ring history to its center stage with an all-Broadway cast, featuring Stephen Hope in the lead role. High-flying high jinks come courtesy of aerial expert Bobby Hedglin-Taylor, who trained the actors in this and 18 other Barnum productions at his Espana Streb Trapeze Academy in Brooklyn. Chuck Tobin, Saint Michaelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s artistic director, says the actors will perform gravity-defying feats â&#x20AC;&#x153;right out over the audience.â&#x20AC;? The Tony Award-winning musical has been sweeping families off their feet since its Broadway debut in 1980 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 99 years after Barnum was laid to rest. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;BARNUMâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

i Spy...

Dear Mistress Maeve, My buddy, and fellow cubicle rat, is head over heels for a girl who works in our office. I keep trying to tell him that dating someone at work is a bad idea, but he’s not listening.

In my opinion, dating coworkers is a recipe for disaster. If things go downhill, it could mean bad things for him and his coworkers (like me).

Mistress, can you help me knock some sense into him?

Thanks, Company Man

Dear Company Man, According to conventional wisdom, dating a coworker is bad news — and for good reason. Ask any human resources representative, and you’re likely to get an earful about how intra-office dating is unprofessional and bad for overall morale — not to mention creating the potential for a whopping sexual harassment suit.

However, as hazardous as office mingling may be, sometimes we need to move away from conventional wisdom and live in the real world.

According to DiscoveryHealth.com, 40 percent of us find our partners at work. So perhaps your buddy is on to something.

It is possible for your buddy to date at work and not destroy the office universe; he just has to be smart. If you want to give your friend some helpful advice, tell him to set boundaries — he’ll need to keep his paws off her during the day and not let office issues infiltrate the bedroom at night. Also, be sure he’s not trying to romance the boss — dating up the office food chain opens a whole other can of worms. Above all else, be professional. If coworkers know these two are dating, they’ll be keeping a watchful eye out to make sure the relationship isn’t causing anyone to play favorites or get an undeserved leg up.

While I may condone smart dating in the workplace, that doesn’t mean your company handbook agrees. Be sure your buddy knows the rules, or he could turn into a cubicle rat without a cubicle.

Working hard,

mm
