My dream vacation would be... to take my daughter, Rebekah, to Sweden.

If I weren’t a Mortgage Broker, I would be a‌ broadcast journalist.

The first piece of real estate I bought was... a condo in Jericho, which I flipped in 18 months and made a 34 percent profit.

My favorite hobby is‌ definitely socializing.

Something I would like to do, but haven’t had the chance... marry my honey, Greg.

The last book I read was‌ Astrid and Veronika by Linda Olsson.

On a Sunday morning you will most likely find me... cycling on the back roads in Richmond in the summer and skiing in the winter.

One thing people are surprised to find out about me is... I can still do a complete backflip off my parents’ diving board.

KUDOS TO KEN The story [“Hot and Soured,” May 30] is a reminder of what the alternative press is all about. With the recent demise of the Vermont Guardian, there is a huge need for this kind of in-depth investigative reporting, particularly when the writer goes where others fear to tread. The labor conditions revealed in Ken Picard’s crisp, evocative prose are appalling and a wake-up call for everyone who takes pride in Vermont’s business reputation.

Now that the nearly feudal relations between the restaurant owners and their employees have been brought to light, let’s hope city and state inspectors step in and do their job. The situation of these Chinese immigrant workers is a disgrace to everyone.

Bill Dodge BURLINGTON

“INDEPENDENT” INVESTIGATION Ken Picard’s cover story “Hot and Soured” [May 30] was a masterpiece in investigative journalism, something that is unfortunately not found in many group-owned daily newspapers these days. Fortunately, Seven Days, as an independently owned paper, is willing to invest the resources necessary to unearth such a story in 5/11/07 the public2x3-frontporch.pdf interest.

Should the owners of these Chinese restaurants get their plans

approved by the city fathers to build a shiny new La Quinta, I hope that they intend to house their virtually enslaved workers there.

In the meantime, I would hope that your readers think twice about eating at any of these restaurants.

To do so would continue to put money into the pockets of those who are greedy and inhumane.

Shawn Murphy PLATTSBURGH, N.Y.

A FEW GOOD MEN I read your recent article “Guy Wired” [May 23] and wanted to thank you for the work that you are doing to publicize this problem . . . I think that you did a great job not only in articulating the prevalence of the issue and what needs to be done to create change, but also I really appreciate the ways in which I was quoted and the way that Project Safe Choices was represented. This article is just one more reason why I continue to think that Seven Days is presenting the messages in a way that is rare among media outlets . . . Thank you for your commitment to saying what so badly needs to be heard if we are going to stop young men’s violence in our communities.

Justin Morgan-Parmett

GUY TIRED Ken Picard might have used “Guy Wired” [May 23] to illustrate some of the circumstances and cultural phenomena associated with violence in our culture, rather than taking the decades-old position that — somehow — young males are “the problem.”

If, as Picard postulates, boys need to learn . . . “social and emotional skills they’ll need to function as members of society” . . . doesn’t everyone?

While Picard discounts the “false logic” of a connection between violence and hip-hop music and/or violent movies, video games or television, he uses enough false logic himself to justify the invasion of Iraq.

The overwhelming majority of men — young and old — don’t engage in violence as a way of communicating anger or anything else. Statistics showing violence associated with males doesn’t implicate the entire gender any

more than the fact that most junkies chewed gum prior to moving on to harder drugs implicates Juicy Fruit.

[taxi tales]

Faux Cabbie?

This past weekend was crazy busy. As Saturday wound down I was frayed, played and waylaid. It had been a lucrative couple of days, but I was more than ready to pack it in. One more spin through downtown was all I had left in me.

The seats were already up on the tables when a stray young man wandered out of Mr. Mike’s Pizza and hailed me. He had baggy shorts, curly hair sticking out every which way and a T-shirt which read, “Where am I going, and why am I in this handbasket?” This kid has a sense of humor, I thought to myself as he plopped into the front seat talking on his cell phone.

» on the web this week This week’s issue of Seven Days features two stories on “public art” — one about Burlington’s murals, the other about Burlington’s burgeoning graffiti scene.

Writer Sam Ankerson wrote about Burlington’s murals. On our website, Sam narrates a short audio tour of some of his favorite pieces, and talks about the difficulties artists encounter when they attempt to paint in public places.

What do you think about graffiti in Burlington? Check out the story and vote in our online poll, at www.sevendaysvt.com.

“Wait, wait,” he said with the slurry speech of someone who’d made the bar rounds that night, “lemme put you on with the cabbie.” He then passed me the phone. His friend gave me an address, and I said, “Yup, I know Dewey Drive — right up before Northgate.”

Says Joe: “I think this is cool looking. If this happened to my property, then I would be psyched.”

But CCEFS director Wanda Hines sees things differently. “I felt violated,” she says. “I felt the building had been violated, I felt we had been violated.”

Hines says the tag, which appeared a few weeks ago, will soon be removed by volunteers, at no cost to the food shelf. “It looks awful,” she says of the design. “It didn’t do anything for the building.” But what bugs Hines the most is that the tagger didn’t ask permission to paint.

Would permission ever be granted? “I think we could probably have that discussion,” she says, “maybe get something that might be more mutual and beneficial. You never know. If they have a portfolio, let’s take a look. But ask!”

In our story about graffiti, Seven Days staffer Mike Ives interviews “Joe,” an anonymous former “writer.” Joe disapproves of the unsightly tagging that plagues downtown Burlington, but he also believes in graffiti as an art form. He collects photos of local graffiti pieces that he likes, and he shared his collection with Seven Days. Mike narrates an audio slideshow that includes photoComputer Support ite Computer Support Friendlythis On-site gallery on our website.

Joe’s perspective is clearly controversial.

Case in point: He praises a tag that appeared recently atop the Chittenden County Emergency Food Shelf on North Winooski Avenue.

Friendly

“That’ll be $9.50,” I said to my customer, “and could you pay me in advance?” The guy was looking and acting a little sketchy, so my intuition told me to get the dough up front.

“I’m not paying before I get there,” he replied, indignant at the very suggestion.

“Hey — where’s your meter? I don’t think you’re even a real cabbie!”

“Well, in this town taxi meters are not required unless you’re working out of the airport. Besides, did you notice the taxi light and the writing on the side of the vehicle?”

It took all my effort to spit that out. I could tell this was a discussion that wasn’t nearly over . . .

Breaststroke Pays Off for Beard You might remember Amanda Beard — she was the 14-year-old Olympic swimmer who carried her teddy bear to the pool and proceeded to win two silver medals in 1996. Well, Beard is all grown up now, and you can see her 8-photo spread in the July issue of Playboy.

“Stuck in Vermont” video blogger Eva Sollberger visits the Shelburne On-siteMuseum’s Computer newSupport eBay exhibit and asks the whimsical question, “What would Electra Havemayer Webb buy on eBay?”

I always thought women posed in Playboy when they had nothing left to do, but Beard — now 25 — has no plans to leave the pool. Now a reigning gold medalist, Beard hopes to qualify for the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, and she’s also hoping that her stint as a Playmate will psyche out the competition. She says on her website, “The more I can distract them from swimming, the better.”

BURLINGTON — The last few weeks have been a rollercoaster ride for Beth Sachs and Blair Hamilton, co-founders of the Vermont Energy Investment Corporation (VEIC), a national leader in promoting energy efficiency and renewable technologies. For the first time ever, the private nonprofit organization got written up in both The New York Times and the Boston Globe. Last

people have ever taken the threat to the environment.”

Not surprisingly, VEIC is growing, big time. As the organization celebrates its 20th anniversary this year, utility companies, businesses, municipalities and the general public are finally getting the message that the oft-maligned field of energy conservation is the wave of the future.

This is the most seriously people have ever taken the threat to the environment.

BETH SACHS, VEIC EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

week, the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy ranked Vermont number one for its energy-efficiency policies, largely due to the efforts of VEIC’s Efficiency Vermont program. Two days later, Governor Jim Douglas vetoed H.520, a comprehensive climate-change bill that would have greatly expanded Efficiency Vermont’s mission to cover all fuels, not just electricity.

Sachs and Hamilton believe it was the devastation from Hurricane Katrina that hammered home the dire consequences of global climate change and the urgency of VEIC’s mission to reduce the social, economic and environmental costs of energy consumption. “Blair and I have worked together in this field for 35 years,” she says.

“And this is the most seriously

In the next year, VEIC plans to expand its staff from 110 employees to about 150, taking over additional office space at its South Champlain Street headquarters in Burlington and spreading a message of smart energy consumption from the Hamptons to Hanoi.

At least some of that growth, explains Hamilton, VEIC’s policy director, is the result of state legislation that passed last year, which raised the cap on how much Vermont ratepayers will invest in energy efficiency — from $17.5 million to $30.75 million by 2008. And as Hamilton emphasizes, Vermont’s electricity ratepayers aren’t “funding” energy efficiency so much as “investing” in it.

The difference, he explains, is more than mere semantics.

When a utility builds a power plant, “They’re spending ratepayer funds to meet our electrical needs — in utility speak, that’s ‘resource acquisition,’” Hamilton explains. That’s what Efficiency Vermont is doing, too.

As the nation’s first energyefficiency “utility,” Efficiency Vermont is occasionally scrutinized, and criticized, for its growth. But, unlike with some government contracts, there are serious financial consequences if the organization fails to deliver the goods. By December 2008, Efficiency Vermont has a goal of reducing Vermont’s peak summer and peak winter demand by 40 megawatts each, out of a statewide total of about 1000 megawatts. That’s roughly the output of the McNeil Generating Plant.

One way of accomplishing that goal, Hamilton explains, will be to target four geographic regions in the state where rising electricity demand is putting undue stress on the power grid.

Those regions include northern Chittenden County, the St. Albans area, the Newport/Derby region along Route 5, and the so-called “southern loop,” which encompasses Manchester, Stratton and north Bennington.

What Efficiency Vermont hopes to accomplish, Hamilton says, is to stabilize and possibly even reduce electricity demand in those regions through aggressive efficiency efforts that can defer or possibly even avoid the need for building new power lines, transformers and substations.

“It’s a little bit of an experiment,” Hamilton explains. “This is a whole new thing that’s never been done before in the country. Vermont is, again, getting out front.” �

ACLU Conference Calls for “New Direction” in War on Drugs

Happy Father’s Day! — Frankie & the Staff

BY KEN PICARD

MONTPELIER — It wasn’t a surprise that a recent conference on state drug policies convened by the American Civil Liberties Union of Vermont called for a smarter, more compassionate, public-health-based approach to addiction and crime.

What’s new are the messengers: people in positions of authority and power. The opening address for “Drug Policies: Are We Taking the Right Approach?” was delivered by Windsor County State’s Attorney Robert Sand, who compared the war on drugs to the current conflict in Iraq — a war, he said, that was launched under false and perhaps deliberately misleading pretenses, with enormous human and economic costs. “It is time,” Sand concluded, “for peace talks in the war on drugs.”

By virtually every measure, Sand argued, we are worse off now than when President Nixon first declared a “war on drugs” in 1971. Drug abuse, addiction and deaths are all up, as are drug potencies, drug-interdiction costs, drug-related crimes, arrests

William Darrow, who said he “disagrees with almost everything Bobby Sand said,” compared drug decriminalization as a tool for fighting addiction to “fighting fire with napalm.”

“No, we’re not winning the war on drugs,” Darrow countered. “But then again, we’re not winning the war on domestic abuse or robbery or fraud, either. These are ongoing problems, and our response to them has to be ongoing as well.” He argued that decriminalization would only increase the availability of dangerous and addictive substances, lower their prices and make them more accessible to minors.

Other critics, such as Barre Police Chief Tim Bombardier, expressed concern that decriminalizing drugs would add to the number of intoxicated drivers on Vermont’s roads. Such a policy, he said, would also complicate the job of law enforcement because certain drugs, such as marijuana, linger in the human body for days or weeks.

Among those on the panel was

drugs because they’re self-medicating to cope with underlying traumas, abuse and/or mental illness.

“What we see is a judicial frustration and lack of understanding of addiction,” Saxman explained. “So, when a person has violated probation once or twice already, the judges say, ‘All right, if you can’t control it on the outside, we’re going to show you how to control it on the inside.’”

No one in the room had to convince Clifford Thornton, 62, about the deadly effects of illegal drugs. Two weeks before his high school graduation in Hartford, Connecticut, he was escorted by two police officers to a field of abandoned cars, where his naked mother lay dead from a heroin overdose.

“There are no words to describe how I felt,” Thornton told a roomful of more than 100 people. “But one thought resonated as I came to my senses . . . All illegal drugs should be eradicated from the face of the Earth.”

Decades later, however, as

Frankly, about the only thing that has gone down in relative terms is the price of drugs, exactly the opposite effect we’d expect to see if we were winning this battle.

and incarcerations. “Frankly, about the only thing that has gone down in relative terms is the price of drugs,” Sand said, “exactly the opposite effect we’d expect to see if we were winning this battle.”

Sand suggested to conference attendees — who included Vermont lawmakers, police officers, lawyers and drug treatment experts — that it’s time to move away from a “one-size-fits-all, zero-tolerance approach.” He says it stigmatizes addiction and pushes users “into the loving embrace of the criminal market.”

Instead, he suggested, Vermont should adopt a “harmreduction” model, which recognizes that people have and always will ingest substances to alter their consciousness. Under this model, he explained, each drug would be re-evaluated based upon the relative harm caused by its use. If society’s response is more harmful than the drug itself, Sand suggested, then the policy ought to be changed.

Sand cited marijuana as one example of a drug whose prohibition causes does far more damage than use of the drug itself. While he acknowledged that marijuana use may rise slightly if it were decriminalized, he believes the tradeoff would be a dramatic reduction in drug-related violence.

“Is that a trade-off I’d be willing to live with?” he asked. “It is.”

But not everyone in the room was as supportive of a wholesale overhaul of Vermont’s drug-policy laws. Assistant U.S. Attorney

Barre Mayor Tom Lauzon, who made headlines earlier this year when he said that drug dealers have “no social value” and should be put to death. While Lauzon stood by his call for a mandatory death penalty for drug dealers — “It upsets me that methamphetamine dealers are mixing strawberry Kool-Aid with it because they find that 14-year-olds will ingest it more easily” — Lauzon wasn’t suggesting that drug addicts have no social or human value.

In the end, he acknowledged that the current drug war has been a dismal failure and a fresh approach is needed. And Lauzon called for a renewed emphasis on treatment, rehabilitation and public education.

Defender General Anna Saxman, who helps oversee Vermont’s public-defender system, echoed the call for renewed emphasis on public education.

She pointed out that many women entering Vermont’s criminal justice system get addicted to

Thornton watched his hometown of Hartford decimated by misguided drug laws, he began to question the wisdom of drug prohibition. “What I found was, we can’t win. This drug war is insanity,” he said. “And insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.”

If there was any consensus at last week’s conference about these hotly debated issues, it was the need for more money for treatment, rehabilitation, prevention and public education. As Progressive Party Chair Martha Abbott noted, one of the only real “success stories” in the ongoing war on drugs — which costs the United States about $2 billion per week — have been public-education campaigns to stop smoking and reduce drunk driving. And, as Thornton pointed out, both of those successes were accomplished without making either substance illegal. �

M AT T H EW J . B U C K L EY F A M I LY L AW AT T O R N E Y 25 YEARS EXPERIENCE

DERBY LINE — The debate in Washington over U.S. immigration restrictions resonates with down-home immediacy in Derby Line, an Orleans County village abutting the border with Canada.

Derby Line and adjoining Stanstead, Québec, have been so closely connected for more than 200 years that three residential streets run seamlessly across the invisible line demarcating their respective countries. The Haskell Library and Opera House, built smack on the border in 1904 as a symbol of Canadian-American friendship, attracts tourists who enter the handsome stone-and-brick building from Vermont and walk across a painted diagonal line to the checkout desk in Québec.

But now the U.S. Border Patrol aims to erect barriers on the three unguarded international streets.

As a result, Canadians may no longer be able to park in Québec alongside the communities’ shared library and walk to its entrance in Vermont.

Québecois book borrowers might instead be required to report to the U.S. border station two blocks away and return to Canada through its authorized port of entry on the northern side of the Tomifobia River.

They already have cameras and sensors and patrols. Isn’t that enough?

MARY ROY, HASKELL LIBRARIAN

U.S. officials are expected to present their proposals and elicit public comment at a June 19 meeting at the Haskell Library. They’re likely to get an earful from locals on both sides of the border. “I think it’s ridiculous,” Emily Dupont, a waitress at The Old Customs House restaurant in Stanstead, says of the move to install checkpoints. “They’ll be separating two communities that are closely related.”

Says Mary Roy, a Haskell librarian, “It’s a bad idea.”

A longtime resident of nearby Newport, Roy wonders what barriers would achieve. “They already have cameras and sensors and patrols. Isn’t that enough?”

Stanstead Mayor Raymond Yates says he understands American officials’ desire to heighten security in response to an apparent upsurge in unauthorized border crossings via the three streets. Last year, for example, U.S. agents intercepted two vans carrying a total of 21 undocumented Asian and Latin American immigrants after they entered Derby Line via one of the streets. But Yates also worries that barriers will introduce an element of distrust as well as physically disfiguring the town.

“We’re an example to a lot of countries because we’ve been getting along very well for two centuries,” he says. “If you put up a fence, people on the other side will start asking, ‘Am I not treating

my neighbor well enough?’

“We have many things in common with one another,” Yates adds, citing the emergency services and water and sewer systems shared by the two communities.

Hundreds of Stanstead residents also routinely visit Derby Line solely in order to buy gasoline and milk, each of which sells for about 50 percent less on the Vermont side. Daily traffic in the other direction includes Americans eager to play the slots in a nearby casino, as well as young Vermonters thirsting for the opportunities offered by Canada’s lower drinking age. Even now, Canadians sometimes endure waits of 40 minutes en route to a filling station and convenience store tantalizingly close to the Derby Line border.

“I’m not sure the plan is going to be that effective,” Roy, the Haskell librarian, comments. “People who want to cross the border illegally can just go across the fields and through the woods down the road.”

It’s all about the money, Mayor Yates suggests.

Building barriers represents a lower-cost solution, he says. “They could implant some really high-tech devices on those streets and increase patrols, but that would be more expensive than what they’re proposing to do.”

Had the events of 9/11 not occurred, the discussion about building barriers probably would not be taking place, observes Roland “Buzzy” Roy, one of Derby Line’s elected village trustees. Roy agrees that additional border posts would mar the spirit of unity among the 3000 residents of the twin jurisdictions, but he says concerns about terrorism and smuggling do warrant greater security.

Roy says he hopes only discreet, possibly movable barriers will be installed on leafy Church, Lee and Phelps-Ball streets.

Mark Henry, operations officer for the Border Patrol’s Swanton sector, declined to comment about the controversy prior to the June 19 meeting. His office has jurisdiction all along the border in Vermont, New Hampshire and parts of New York.

A majority of Derby Line residents do not favor new physical separations from Stanstead, Roy adds.

“It’s quite possible it will be voted down,” he says of the proposal.

The U.S. Border Patrol has indicated it will not proceed with the plan in the face of strong local opposition, Roy adds. “But whether that will actually happen, I don’t know. Based on my previous dealings with federal officials, I’m not optimistic.”

Vermont Public Television will air a documentary entitled “Good Fences, Good Neighbors” on June 14 at 7:30 pm. The 30-minute program, followed by a panel discussion, examines Vermont-Québec economic, political and cultural relations. Though produced prior to the current border-security debate, it does cite Derby Line and Stanstead as emblematic of the close ties between the Green Mountain State and La Belle Province. �

AN IRREVERENT READ ON VT POLITICS

Time Running Out?

P

resident George W. Bush, the most unpopular president in American history, returned from a trip to the Baltics this week. Did anyone miss him?

Here at home there was an unprecedented Senate no-confidence vote on Attorney General Alberto Gonzalez, which drew the support of seven Republicans along with the Democrats, and polls are, of course, showing enormous opposition to Mr. Bush’s Iraq war. Yours truly gets the feeling the sands are running out of the Bush hourglass.

A Pew Research Center poll the other day showed a 61 percent disapproval rating for our current president. Only 29 percent approve. That’s more than a 2-1 margin against Bush, and the largest disapproval rating since the Pew Research Center began taking polls on the question.

With the situation in Iraq getting bloodier by the day — with endless suicide bombings and daily American casualties — the dominant view on Capitol Hill is that the Bush White House has until September to show demonstrable signs of progress in Iraq. If it can’t, the ranks of Republican critics in both the House and the Senate will grow larger. After all, many GOP senators and all of the incumbent GOP House members are up for re-election in November 2008.

Perfectly understandable.

Vermont, as you know, is the only state whose entire congressional delegation voted against the Bush Iraq war policy from the very beginning. That hasn’t stopped the antiwar protests, though they have quieted down in recent weeks.

In an interview with Vermont Democratic Sen. Patrick J. Leahy over the weekend, we learned firsthand just how quickly our senior senator’s patience is running out with the war policy.

In fact, it was the first time since his 1992 U.S. Senate re-election race that we’ve heard St. Patrick publicly take a shot at GOP Jim Douglas. [Leahy won that race in an 11point landslide: 54-43 percent.]

“The governor has been a cheerleader for the war and the administration all the way through,” said Leahy when asked about the antiwar protests. “Why don’t they [the antiwar activists] go talk to him?

And ask him what he says when he goes to the Republican Governors Association? I know he gets a huge amount of money from them for his campaigns, but what does he say when he goes there?”

Fair question.

On Monday, yours truly asked Gov. Douglas if he cared to respond to the Iraq war “cheerleader” charge.

“Well,” replied Douglas, “I expect that the protesters are interested in the congressional offices because [the congressmen] have something to say about it, whereas I don’t. They’re the ones who authorize military action, authorize the expenditures for that action. I think [the protesters’] concern is directed appropriately.”

But we told the Guv we were not aware he had ever commented that the Bush administration has consistently lied to the American people about the reasons to go to

Cider Glazed Pork Loin

served with celeriac puree, seasonal vegetable & roasted shallot port reduction

war in the first place. Saying something a thousand times does not make it true. The weapons of mass destruction that Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney repeatedly claimed were a threat to the U.S. simply did not exist. So far, Douglas will only say it’s time for an Iraq “exit strategy,” but he has not criticized the “entrance strategy.”

“Well, your question was about the protesters,” replied Douglas, “and I have nothing to do with the decision to authorize the use of force or fund it. Members of 2x5-bobcat061307.indd 1 Congress do.”

Perfectly understandable why Vermont’s top Republican doesn’t want to go near the Iraq war policy with a 10-foot pole, isn’t it?

But what about the dozens of Vermonters serving in the National Guard and the regular military who have been killed or injured because of the president’s lies?

Just imagine the impact of a Republican governor, a longtime Bush supporter from the most liberal state in America, publicly criticizing the Bush Iraq war policy for what it really is.

Jimbo would be on network news, for sure!

As things presently stand on Capitol Hill, Leahy told us the signs of change are becoming more prevalent.

“Now, interestingly enough, as I go into these [Gonzalez] investigations,” said St. Patrick, “some of the same Republicans who were muzzled by the White House are beginning to speak out. And nobody tries to stop me from getting the subpoenas on the Republican side. This is a lot different than it was just a year ago.”

Yours truly predicts the political change in for current Washington is now on an irreversible track.

Bernie & the Brits — Vermont’s freshman Independent United States Sen. Bernie Sanders may not be getting much attention from the mainstream American 2x5-paulines060607.indd press, but the British Broadcasting Corporation is giving him prominent attention.

Sanders was a featured guest on the BBC World Service radio broadcast on Monday (BBC-TV, too), prior to the U.S. Senate’s unusual no-confidence vote on Alberto Gonzalez. As you know, the attorney general allegedly replaced federal prosecutors for political reasons and demonstrated extraordinary memory gaps when asked about it as he testified before Sen. Patrick Leahy’s Judiciary Committee.

As we noted above, seven Republican senators joined with Democrats and Ol’ Bernardo on Monday to vote “no-confidence.” However, they fell short of the 60 votes needed for passage.

“This vote won’t make any difference, will it?” asked the BBC interviewer.

“What it does is tell the president of the United States in a very unusual manner that the American people are sick and tired of the incompetence and the extreme rightwing drift of the AG’s office,” replied the Vermont senator. “You have an attorney general who basically believes that the president can do anything he wants so long as it’s

‘fighting terrorism.’ I think that is a very, very dangerous situation.”

Sanders told the BBC his “hope is that out of the pressure that’s building up, the attorney general will resign.”

Apparently, Sanders’ viewpoint wasn’t considered newsworthy by CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN or foxy FOX. “We have got to deal with the reality,” Sanders told the Brits, “that we have the most incompetent, reactionary administration in the modern history of America, and a president who will go down in history as one of the worst presidents, if not the worst president, this country has ever had.”

Yes, indeed, the clock is ticking on Alberto Gonzalez.

P.S. Yours truly swung by the Sheraton Burlington Monday to catch Gov. Jim Douglas’ welcome-to-Vermont opening speech to the National Association of State Medicaid Directors conference. It was a first-time visit to Vermont for most of the attendees, and yours truly conducted an unscientific survey of their Vermont political knowledge.

The best-known figure? Everyone answered “Howard Dean,” while about 75 percent mentioned “Patrick Leahy.” But none of them had heard of Bernie Sanders.

Guess they don’t get their news from the BBC, eh?

By the way, the world of state Medicaid directors appears a wee bit topsy-turvy at the moment.

Since the NASMD’s last national meeting in November 2006, 26 out of 50 directors have left their posts.

Vermont’s Director, Josh Slen, is a rare exception, having been at the job since 2003.

A seasoned veteran, eh?

Cheney vs. Douglas? — Yes, it’s true, only it’s not that Cheney, but rather State Rep. Margaret Cheney, a Norwich Democrat and member of the House Natural Resources and Energy Committee.

Rep. Cheney’s op-ed appeared in daily papers around the state this week, surgically repudiating Gov. Douglas’ veto of H.520, the Dems’ big climate-change bill.

A former journalist, Rep. Cheney tells “Inside Track” that the governor has been putting out “misleading” arguments against the bill. For one thing, he continues to refer to it as a tax bill, not an environmental bill, and highlights the tax it places on power generation by Entergy Vermont Yankee, the nuclear power plant in Vermont, while ignoring the generation tax it places on wind power production. Same tax for both.

In truth, Vermont Yankee’s

taxes have declined significantly over the last decade as their property values in Vermont have escalated.

According to Cheney, VY’s total payments to the state’s general fund in 1997 were $3.25 million. Its 1997 payment to the state’s Education Fund was $2.9 million.

A decade later, in 2007, said the Norwich rep and former school board member, VY’s General Fund payment has shrunk to $2.7 million, with almost $1 million less going into the Education Fund.

Vermont Yankee Nuclear, said Cheney, “has been getting a tax holiday. I don’t think any other Vermont business can say that.”

Now under new ownership — Entergy Inc. of Louisiana — Vermont Yankee has put $100 million in upgrades and improvements into its very profitable Vermont nuke.

“VY’s property taxes,” said Rep. Cheney, “have been going down as their property values have been going up.”

“Is Gov. Douglas lying?” we asked Cheney.

“I don’t know if he’s lying,” she replied, “but when I read his veto, I wondered if he had read the bill.”

P.S. Democratic Rep. Cheney, unlike her GOP namesake in the vice president’s office (no relation), is not a household word in Vermont. Yet.

Would you believe Gov. Jimbo has still neither seen Al Gore’s 2006 Oscar-winning flick, An Inconvenient Truth, nor read the book?

“There are millions of books I haven’t read,” replied Douglas when we inquired about it.

Sure, but An Inconvenient Truth is the most popular and acclaimed environmental book and movie of the moment. We asked our Republican governor if Gore’s Democratic Party affiliation is the reason for his boycott.

“No,” said Gov. Douglas, “I just don’t go to movies. I’m too

Media Notes â&#x20AC;&#x201D; After 17 years with the Associated Press and 15 years of solid, reliable duty at its Montpelier bureau, reporter Ross Sneyd bid farewell to the company on Sunday. Sneyd has been the APâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top political reporter in Vermont and a fixture at the Statehouse every winter.

John Curran, the Associated Press bureau chief who replaced Chris Graff last year, told â&#x20AC;&#x153;Inside Trackâ&#x20AC;? that Mr. Sneydâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s departure â&#x20AC;&#x153;will be a huge lossâ&#x20AC;? for the AP. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ross is a great reporter,â&#x20AC;? said Mr. Curran, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and his institutional memory will be sorely missed.â&#x20AC;?

Curran confirmed that the AP will not be filling Sneydâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s position. Seems like everywhere you look, the â&#x20AC;&#x153;news businessâ&#x20AC;? is shrinking.

Three seasoned Vermont journalists remain at the APâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Vermont bureau: Wilson Ring, David Gram and Lisa Rathke.

And veteran photojournalist Toby Talbot is still taking the pictures that go everywhere.

Mr. Sneyd told â&#x20AC;&#x153;Inside Trackâ&#x20AC;? on Tuesday that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to take three weeks off before starting his new position as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;newscast producerâ&#x20AC;? at Vermont Public Radio in Colchester. He says the new post â&#x20AC;&#x153;will involve coordinating various local newscasts.â&#x20AC;?

Though Ross has been writng â&#x20AC;&#x153;broadcastâ&#x20AC;? news copy for the AP all these years, radio will be a new world for him and he says heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s looking forward to it.

Ross covered the civil-unions battle back in 2000. In 2003, he and partner Warren Hathaway, a clinical social worker, obtained their own civil union.

The pair also operate a bedand-breakfast in Plainfield: www.comstockhousebb.com.

And they raise sheep, too! Ross was stringing fencing when we caught him on his cellphone Tuesday.

Vermont’s Springfield Vies to Host Simpsons Premiere

BY MARGOT HARRISON

As befits an American icon, FOX’s show “The Simpsons” is set on a generic street in a generic American town with a generic name — Springfield. So generic, in fact, that when Twentieth Century Fox concocted a contest to promote the upcoming The Simpsons Movie, asking towns called Springfield to compete for the honor of hosting the July 27 premiere, it identified some 16 candidates.

The studio didn’t include Springfield, Vermont — one of the smaller Springfields with a population of approximately 9000, but not one that would let its exclusion go quietly. Patty Chaffee, executive director of the town’s chamber of commerce, fired off a letter to the production company, which agreed to give the Vermont burg a shot.

Now Springfield has to come up with a 3- to 5-minute video that proves its fitness to be the Springfield. It also has to incorporate life-sized figures of the Simpsons family made of solid plastic, which weigh in at 1500 pounds and currently reside in the Springfield Theater, says Brock Rutter,

associate director of the Vermont Film Commission.

The Film Commission is partnering with Barre’s Video Visions to produce the clip, to be scripted and directed by 16-year-old Alex Campos, the son of the company’s owner. Tim Kavanagh, the host of WCAX’s “Late Night Saturday,” will play Homer — there’s a physical resemblance, Rutter notes.

In the filming, to take place on June 19, Kavanagh-as-Homer will chase a giant doughnut through Springfield, drawing the pursuit of an angry mob as he

disrupts a baseball game and town meeting. Rutter says the filmmakers are still seeking local extras to play the rabble.

The finished video will be posted with its rivals on USA Today ’s website, where they’ll be ranked by the public, “American Idol”-style. How much of a chance does Springfield, VT, have to host a Hollywood premiere? Rutter says Twentieth Century Fox needs a theater with 300 seats; Springfield’s theater has around 278. “But,” he points out, “Springfield, Florida, is competing, and they don’t even have a theater.”

Even if some other Springfield wins the honor, the Vermont town will get to keep the plastic Simpsons figures — they’re “property of the chamber of commerce now,” says Rutter, who suggests the massive memorabilia may eventually go to auction.

Mmm, best lawn ornaments on the block. �

To be an extra in the video, show up on June 19 at the Springfield Chamber of Commerce building, Clinton Street, 2 p.m. Info, 885-2779.

On March 3, 2003, more than 1000 groups of people in 59 countries staged simultaneous readings of Aristophanes’ classic antiwar comedy Lysistrata. In this mass protest against the imminent Iraq war, the performers ranged from celebrities such as Kevin Bacon to Kurdish refugees. The event, co-created by actress/writer Kathryn Blume of Charlotte, was billed as the “first-ever worldwide theatrical act of dissent.”

From just one spot on the globe, it was hard to grasp the scope of such a collective action.

But the documentary film Operation Lysistrata, to screen at Burlington’s City Hall Auditorium at a June 15 benefit for the Peace & Justice Center, may change that. Directed by Michael Kelly for the small New York production company Aquapio Films, it’s a compilation of clips from recorded readings, accompanied by news footage to convey the climate from which the Lysistrata Project arose. “Since January 2003, Aquapio Films has shot or received more than 200 hours of video footage,” the film’s web page reads. “Tapes of readings poured in from nearly every U.S. state as well England, Iceland, Greece, Australia, Italy, Montréal, Nova Scotia and many more.”

Blume says Kelly — who will join her for a Q&A session at the screening — decided he “absolutely had to be involved” after hearing her interviewed about the project on NPR’s “All Things Considered.” He used Blume’s

he’s “still raising money to pay for rights to clips from the network news. He’s had to raise an enormous amount of money over and above the cost of the editing itself.”

Meanwhile, Blume is doing some fundraising of her own on behalf of a second project, her one-woman show The Boycott.

Though it takes aim at a new issue, Blume’s script returns to the Lysistrata motif with a playwithin-a-play in which the president’s wife spearheads a mass women’s movement to deny men sex until they do something to address global warming.

email list of participants to send out a call for photos or footage of the readings. In lieu of narration, the film exposits via news clips of such events as antiwar demonstrations. “It’s very good.

Very moving,” says Blume. “You forget how enthusiastic and engaged and widespread opposition to the war was before we attacked Iraq.”

The use of proprietary clips also delayed the film in postproduction, though. Blume says Kelly will probably take Operation Lysistrata to film festivals, but

in a Vermont Stage Company production last January. Since then, she’s revised the text and posted video of the entire performance on YouTube. After the premiere, Blume says, she received a phone call from philanthropist Barbarina Heyerdahl of Shelburne, who said, “Your show is incredible, and I want you to take it to the national level,” she relates. With the help of Heyerdahl and the Montpelier office of the Nature Conservancy, Blume has raised “about $57,000 so far,” she says.

Fatigue seems to be the primary reason Mira Niagolova decided to take a leave of absence as executive director of the Vermont International Film Festival, which unfolds each October in Burlington. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just needed a break,â&#x20AC;? explains the Essex resident, who had held the position since 2002. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was exhausted because we got so many submissions, more than 250, that it became overwhelming. We were all drained.â&#x20AC;?

Consequently, the 2007 cinematic event is itself scaling back.

Traditionally, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a callfor-entries process in which judges choose most of the festival fare by looking at submitted work from filmmakers around the world. This time, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s invitation only. (The changes will not affect the Vermont Showcase or the student films.)

Moreover, instead of a few dozen motion pictures, the nonVermont line-up will spotlight just eight or nine. The competition in three categories â&#x20AC;&#x201D; justice and human rights, war and peace, and the environment â&#x20AC;&#x201D; is kaput.

For now.

The money will fund a 6-week run of The Boycott this fall at the Arclight Theater on New Yorkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Upper West Side, with a â&#x20AC;&#x153;brandnew set and a brand-new soundtrack.â&#x20AC;? Blume says her â&#x20AC;&#x153;ultimate goalâ&#x20AC;? is to turn the play into a â&#x20AC;&#x153;real concert film.â&#x20AC;?

For now, Blume hopes other activists will draw inspiration from Operation Lysistrata. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of the stories that the film is really great about telling is how much itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s possible for a few people with not many resources to achieve,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hope people will say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Those women are just like me. Yes, I can have some kind of effect, too.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; All it takes is one person to say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I will stand up, I will do something.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? ďż˝ Operation Lysistrata screens on June 15 at Burlington City Hall Auditorium, 7 & 9 p.m. $10. The Boycott Benefit Concert is June 22, 7:30-10 p.m., at the Shelburne Town Hall. $10. The Boycott plays July 26-28 at the FlynnSpace, Burlington, 8 p.m. $25.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is all temporary,â&#x20AC;? assures Niagolova, who remains on the programming committee. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just for one year. We need to regroup and strategize.â&#x20AC;?

The Waterfront Theatre and Merrillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Roxy Cinema will once again serve as festival venues,

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll touch on the same range of issues,â&#x20AC;? Niagolova vows. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be looking for all the good films that would resonate with the Vermont audience.â&#x20AC;?

VIFF board president Deb Ellis points out that the strong commitment to filmmakers will go on

and there will be plenty of opportunities for chatting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We wanted to leave more room for discussions between films,â&#x20AC;? Niagolova acknowledges. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And people have requested more screening repeats, so thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a chance to see everything. We also intend to start later each day and finish earlier on Sunday.â&#x20AC;?

VIFF is to planning to hire an administrative-minded coordinator rather than a replacement for Niagolova. Her job will stay vacant during this transition period, with certain duties taken over by board members. She has been attending other festivals around the globe â&#x20AC;&#x201D; including those in Amsterdam, Berlin, Prague and the Czech Republic â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to search for features and documentaries that fit the Vermont extravaganzaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mission.

Launched in 1985, VIFF is considered the oldest human rights and environmental festival on the planet. In the Reagan era, the focus was primarily on U.S.-backed conflicts in Central America and the dangers of nuclear proliferation. Flash forward to George W. Bush in the White House, Iraq and, lately, an apparent rekindling of the Cold War. With grim news from such places as Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo, justice has become more relevant than ever. And largely thanks to Al Gore, the Earth is an increasingly hot topic.

during the short-term partial hiatus. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re feeling very positive and moving forward,â&#x20AC;? she suggests.

Ellisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; predecessor, Barry Snyder, continues to assist the festival in an advisory capacity.

But his attention has been somewhat diverted by a new project: the attempt to resurrect a repertory-friendly film society in the Queen City. This endeavor will begin with a public exploratory session at 5:30 p.m. on June 13 at Burlington College, where he heads the cinema studies department. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve become so dominated by commercial movies, which are there to get the audience to buy popcorn. That keeps our knowledge shallow. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re exposed to only a small portion of the great film heritage,â&#x20AC;? Snyder notes, adding that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to establish a mechanism to enjoy the art form that encompasses dialogue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The idea is to promote film culture,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a growing interest. People yearn for that collective big-screen experience desperately missing in the age of Netflix.â&#x20AC;? ďż˝ The Vermont International Film Festival is October 10-14, various times, at the Waterfront Theatre and Merrillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Roxy Cinema.

The bidding reached $2,325, but when Perry posted her intention to give any money above her reserve to the family of a soldier killed in action, eBay, which discourages charity auctions, canceled her sale.

Fire Follies Fred Schloetzer admitted accidentally starting a fire in his garage in Orange County, Fla., when a spark from his welding iron landed on a nearby gas can. The flames had covered the house by the time firefighters arrived, but their efforts were hindered by ammunition stored in the garage that exploded from the fire. “When we had that amount of fire and the ammunition going off,” Battalion Chief Reggie Price said, “we changed into defensive mode.” Neighbor Zach Meyers told Local 6 News, “The booms were like a war zone.”

• Responding to a fire alarm at a San Francisco pizza parlor, police Officers Carl Payne and Cathy Daly found an 80-year-old man inside. He admitted setting the fire, explaining that he had

gone into the bathroom about 3 a.m., but when he returned, everyone had left and the doors were locked. He started the fire so the Fire Department would come and let him out. When asked about money missing from the restaurant’s register, he pulled a wad of cash from his pocket, insisting he had saved it from the flames. The officers booked him for arson and burglary.

Scam-a-Rama Federal authorities accused Robert Dooley of stealing $330,000 in merchandise from Home Depot stores in nine states and then returning the items for store credit.

According to papers filed in Boston federal court, Dooley, a former clerk with the Internal Revenue Service, took advantage of store policy that let customers return merchandise without a receipt if they showed photo identification. Prosecutors said Dooley gathered the merchandise in the stores and took it directly to the returns counter without paying, then showed his IRS badge, pointing out that as an IRS employee, he was “trustworthy.” The stores issued credit in the form of plastic cards, which Dooley would then sell or trade.

Legal Briefs An Italian underwear maker accused Sweden’s King Carl XVI Gustaf of illegally trading on the company’s good name. Calzificio Pinelli, which sells underwear under the trademark Solidea, said that the royal family’s summer palace, Solliden, breaches its trademark. The palace was built in 1906, but its name was registered as a trademark only two years ago, prompting the complaint. The Italian company’s lawyer, Lottie-Ann Hulth, insisted “the trademarks are nearly identical, both phonetically and visually,” but after a two-year investigation, Sweden’s Patent and Registration Office dismissed the company’s complaint.

L, via e-mail Let’s see — 20 innocent people put to death, including 19 hanged and one crushed under stones.

At least four others who died while imprisoned.

The seizure of farms, equipment and livestock from some of the families. Sorry, but you can’t blame a lynching like that solely on the kids. A few of the players expressed remorse or otherwise paid a price, and collectively the colonists made a modest attempt to put things right. But if you’re asking whether the guilty got their just desserts, e.g., disgrace, etc., the answer for the most part is no.

None of the accusers was tried, punished, or publicly reprimanded. Early in the trials one witness, Mary Warren, tried to back out and suggested that the accusations were bogus. Her reward was to be sent to prison as a witch herself until she miraculously escaped the devil’s clutches, confessed to her witchery, and was allowed to rejoin her fellow perjurers. Another accuser, Ann Putnam, made a public apology 14 years later — she asked the local parson to read a prepared statement in which she claimed she’d been deluded by Satan. A halfhearted measure, you may say, but none of the other girls did even that much.

One judge, Samuel Sewall, admitted he’d done wrong, but others, such as the presiding justice, deputy governor William Stoughton, remained stubbornly unrepentant. Members of the jury said they’d been unable to “withstand the mysterious delusion of the power of darkness and prince of the air.” In other words, the devil made them do it.

Though largely uncontrite, parson Samuel Parris, a driving force behind the witch hunt, did receive some punishment when the town, cash-strapped and feeling a little used, decided not to pay his salary.

His congregation largely abandoned him, and he was finally paid about 80 pounds (roughly $24,000 now) to get lost.

Restitution was meager and long in coming, especially considering that even those found innocent had to pay their jailers for keeping them in prison. Owing about two shillings sixpence ($37.50) per week, many of those released had to mortgage their farms, borrow money, or sell themselves into indentured servitude.

Dear Cecil, I’ve seen history shows about the Salem witch trials and the accusing girls’ hysteria, but the narrative usually ends with the end of the trials. What happened to the accusers later? Did they recant or insist they told the truth? Were the girls shunned, or did people try to forget what had happened?

Philip English claimed 1500 pounds in damages when his property was confiscated by sheriff George Corwin but was denied compensation. English got his revenge in the end, though. When Corwin died in 1697, English seized the body, holding it till the sheriff’s family paid him 60 pounds 3 shillings ($18,045). After English himself died, the colony paid his heirs 200 pounds in compensation.

The colony declared January 15, 1697, as a day of fasting to repent the crimes, which I’m sure was a great comfort to the families and friends of the victims. Finally, in 1711 the sum of 578 pounds 12 shillings ($179,580) was allocated to compensate the survivors. The payouts seem a little hit-and-miss: some received 70 pounds and up, others got less than 8. An act pardoning only those witches whose families petitioned on their behalf was sent to the governor in 1710, but for unknown reasons he never signed it. Massachusetts didn’t officially clear the names of all the convicted witches until 2001.

Confessions by witchcraft accusers historically have been rare, maybe because they figured they were in too deep or else honestly believed what they’d said. My assistant Bibliophage found just one instance, that of Elizabeth Blanchard of Littleton, Massachusetts. In 1720 she and two other children accused a local woman of tormenting them with witchcraft. No one was arrested, and years later the conscience-stricken Elizabeth came clean.

The Salem witch trials, incidentally, were no isolated incident. In 2004 Prestonpans, Scotland, pardoned 81 witches convicted in the 16th and 17th centuries for everything from allegedly brewing storms to sinking King James VI’s ship to owning a black cat. None of the descendants received any money, but a plaque was dedicated to the victims — small compensation considering that during Scotland’s witch-hunting heyday 2000 or more innocent people may have been executed.

More recently, Helen Duncan was arrested during World War II after holding a seance where she claimed the spirit of a sailor from HMS Barham told her his ship had been sunk. Problem was, the Barham’s sinking was then still a military secret, and authorities feared Duncan might reveal details about the impending D-Day invasion, presumably also obtained from supernatural sources. She was tried under the Witchcraft Act of 1735 and sentenced to nine months in jail. Although the act was repealed in 1951, the UK has refused to grant Duncan a posthumous pardon. With that ol’ devil you never know.

anyone to confront a person who is quietly sitting in a public space and demand that they answer questions, whether that person is just John Q. Human or a member of Vermont’s citizen legislature.

The Fox News team had every right to be in the cafeteria of the Statehouse — that is, until they confronted Mr. Lippert and demanded that he answer their questions [“Inside Track,” May 16].

In my opinion, in his defense of the right of Fox News to be in a public place even though their behaviors were strident 11:22:02 AM and combative to another person, Governor Douglas has undermined the privacy and safety of all of us who enjoy Vermont’s public spaces.

THE COST OF GLOBALIZATION Thank you for the recent article on trade and jobs [“Labor Department Links Free Trade to Vermont Job Losses,” May 30].

It reminded us of the human costs of globalization as thousands of Vermont families are suffering from trade-related job losses. It exposed the hype about the purported benefits of international trade by providing facts instead of anecdotes. And it called the governor to account for committing Vermont to “free” trade agreements without any input from the legislature.

Commerce Secretary Kevin Dorn’s letter in response criticized Sen. Ginny Lyons, Dan Brush and myself for being “partisan” and for “selectively us[ing] statistics.”

But there’s nothing partisan about Vermonters losing their jobs.

And while we referred to data from the Vermont Department of Labor, Sec. Dorn referred to a biased report by the U.S. Business Roundtable that used outrageous methodology. It counted jobs related to receiving goods shipped 1:04:05 PM into the U.S. as “trade” jobs. And by the way, the Department of Labor only reported jobs lost to

trade since 2003 (1700). This trend began long before then.

And Secretary Dorn is wrong to suggest that the governor has no authority in matters of federal trade agreements. The law allows a governor to opt out of trade provisions regarding state procurement laws. Indeed, only 19 governors signed their states onto CAFTA’s procurement provisions.

The governor effectively gave away an important piece of our sovereignty without bothering to consult with the legislature.

Trade can be beneficial, but it is certainly not without risk.

Many economists are fond of saying that lower prices at WalMart are worth the cost in lost jobs and lower wages. Easy for them to say, we haven’t outsourced their jobs yet.

BEE REALISTIC Regarding Rich Hatfield’s hope [“Letters,” May 16] that the alarming global honeybee dieoff might be resolved locally if farmers create habitat patches for native honeybees: Those patches would still have to overcome the non-organic, genetically manipulated fields all around us creating pollen that did not arise through any evolutionary process, and which is suspected to coat the insides of honeybees, causing them to fall dead as they fly. Would that we had a voice in D.C., who would have insisted on vetting those GMO plants before they could release their pollen into the general ecosystem!

Other than Pat Leahy, who for decades has sat on the Senate committee overseeing genetic manipulation, and who has never called a press conference on the issue, let alone a hearing, which could have alerted us to this menace before it began to wipe out honeybees.

CITY MARK-UP? I am writing to take exception to Jim Blynt’s letter to the editor concerning Suzanne Podhaizer’s foodstamp story [“Stayin’ Alive,” May 9]. He stated that “City Market, where she shopped, is exclusively and prohibitively pricey for many in Burlington.” This is simply untrue.

We at City Market take our commitment to fair pricing very seriously, and we do monthly price checks with the big grocery stores to make sure we’re

CSA SOLUTION I am writing to praise — and amend — Ken Picard’s article about Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) in Burlington [“Spare a Share?” May 23].

I commend Seven Days for underscoring the ever-growing market for shares in the Burlington area. However, Mr. Picard failed to mention a fourth farm offering shares in the intervale: Healthy City, a youth farm program at the Intervale Center, which is offering several dozen shares this year.

Unfortunately, Healthy City is also already sold out.

We at the Intervale Center are keenly aware of the increasing demand for direct, local food in Burlington. We are exploring ways to help farms in and outside the Intervale meet this demand, streamline distribution and secure fair prices for farmers and consumers alike. The Intervale Center has received a USDA Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education grant to initiate a project called the Burlington Food Hub to help Vermont farmers better access markets seeking local food. One option we are exploring is the development of a farmerowned, multi-farm CSA, housed at the Intervale Center and supplied by farmers throughout northwest Vermont.

We are looking for Burlingtonarea businesses, churches and schools that want to act as centralized drop-off points for CSA shares. If demand is high for this service, we will be working with farmers to get it up and delivering by next spring.

To learn more about the Intervale Center, Food Hub Project or CSAs, please visit www.intervale.org or contact me at 660-0440 x 108 or mandy@ intervale.org.

or a Burlington-based cabdriver, a fare to the outer reaches of an outlying town â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Essex, Colchester, Shelburne â&#x20AC;&#x201D; is a perfectly decent fare. Except, that is, during the couple of hours around 2 a.m. on weekend nights. These are the precious hours of â&#x20AC;&#x153;last call,â&#x20AC;? when the crowds pour from the clubs and bars, ready for their cab rides to hotel rooms or homes. The last thing a cabbie wants during the late-night rush hour is a long haul. The money is in maximizing short trips, such as quickie runs up Williston or Shelburne roads, or to the various neighborhoods of Burlington proper.

This time of night, some cabbies actually decline the longer runs, but I consider that unethical. Folks need to get home wherever they live â&#x20AC;&#x201D; if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a taxi driver, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s your job. So, I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t thrilled when a young couple hailed me at the height of a recent nightly rush, climbed into the back seat and said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Colchester Point â&#x20AC;&#x201D; is that all right?â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sure thing,â&#x20AC;? I replied, and headed for the Northern Connector. Luck of the draw, I thought. If you let the inevitable ups and

But as it turned out, I had scored the daily double: a less-than-desirable destination and passengers who hit the seat squabbling. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Courtney, whyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d you pull me outta that bar?â&#x20AC;? the man said. His voice was flat, yet seething with emotion. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A guyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s talking like that, hitting on your girlfriend, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gotta expect an ass-kicking.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Matt, I told you,â&#x20AC;? Courtney replied. I could tell this was not their first go-round on this particular subject. It was also clear that if the guy believed his actions bespoke some kind of chivalry, his girlfriend was having none of it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The cops were on their way, for chrissake. I saved your ass.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Well, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d rather be in jail now. That guy needed a beating.â&#x20AC;?

Glancing up at the rear-view, I noticed that Courtney was a looker: long, corn-silk blonde hair setting off a beautiful face, and a body to match. Among the twentysomething bar-hoppers, she would be deemed â&#x20AC;&#x153;hot.â&#x20AC;? I could imagine guys constantly making passes at her, at least when her boyfriend was not at her side. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Look, Matt,â&#x20AC;? she said, with a bored irritation that signaled her final statement on the matter, â&#x20AC;&#x153;girls hassle me all the frigginâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; time when weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re out together. They all want to get with you. Do you see me getting into fights? Do ya?â&#x20AC;?

A brooding silence ensued, which I much preferred to the verbal sparring. As

we took the left onto Porters Point Road,

Courtney said to me, â&#x20AC;&#x153;You take plastic,

right?â&#x20AC;?

â&#x20AC;&#x153;No, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, sorry. Do we need to stop at the ATM?â&#x20AC;?

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yeah, could you pull into this

I swung in, put the car in park, and

!"#$ waited . . . as Courtney took quite a bit of time in the ATM cubicle. I turned to Matt and said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Why donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t you see if you can 2x5-Isabean050907.indd 1 5/7/07 9:36:47 AM help her out with the machine?â&#x20AC;?

Matt sneered at me. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yeah, right. So you can just take off and leave us here stranded?

No way, man.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;What the hell are you talking about?â&#x20AC;? I retorted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What kind of logic is that? Why would I abandon you without getting my money? That makes no sense whatsoever.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hey, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m from Manhattan, man, so I take cabs all the time. You think we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the money, so you just want to get out of here.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Well,â&#x20AC;? I said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;this ainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Manhattan.

And furthermore, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re two middle-class kids and your girlfriendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a local, so I know Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m gonna get the money eventually. Plus, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not going to leave you out here five miles from her place. Câ&#x20AC;&#x2122;mon.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sorry, man,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just used to the big-city vibe. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll go in to help her.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;By the way,â&#x20AC;? I added gratuitously, â&#x20AC;&#x153;in the situation with that jerk and your girl6/7/07 1:58:30 PM friend, the more powerful action is to walk 2x3.5-KisstheCook061307.indd 1 Â&#x201E; Northern Vermontâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Professional Actorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Equity Theater Company Celebrating 60 Years! away.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yeah,â&#x20AC;? he said, stepping out of the cab, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I guess I knew that.â&#x20AC;?

Five more minutes passed. I resigned myself to the fact that tonightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bar rush was now officially a bust. The couple finally returned to the cab, both of them apologizing profusely. Something was amiss with her card, or the machine â&#x20AC;&#x201D; they couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quite sort it out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just leave us here, man,â&#x20AC;?

Matt said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll walk. We canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ask you to drive us any further. We feel terrible.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;No, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll drive you home. Is it your house, Courtney? You got a checkbook there?â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;No, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re staying at my auntâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s while sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s out of town.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Well, if I give you my address, will you promise to mail me a check this week?â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yes, absolutely. I feel, like, so bad.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yeah, I got that, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll tell you â&#x20AC;&#x201D; I never end up getting the check when this happens. So, this is all about your integrity.

You got what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m saying?â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oh, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get the check. I swear.â&#x20AC;?

A couple of weeks have passed, and â&#x20AC;&#x201D; surprise â&#x20AC;&#x201D; thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been no check in the mail. But I know that, in the moment, Courtney really meant to do the right thing. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a case of poor followthrough. It always is. ďż˝

CARS: WE LOVE â&#x20AC;&#x2122;EM. U.S. drivers burn about 60 million gal-

lons of gasoline per day. Almost everything about our lifestyle incorporates the automobile, from housing developments to drive-thru burger joints.

But Americans are starting to realize their vehicular days are numbered. Reports suggest weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve already reached â&#x20AC;&#x153;peak oil.â&#x20AC;? The last few weeks have brought another flurry of record-high gas prices. And transportation emissions continue to contribute to global warming.

Vermont is ahead of the peak-oil curve, but only sort of. In 2000, the state had more than 14,000 miles of roads, and about half a million registered cars and trucks. Legislators spend roughly twice as much on new highway construction as they do on public transportation. There are still about 600 gas stations statewide, and the average Vermonter works 20 miles from home. So whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s with the car obsession? Must be a love-hate thing.

Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s it like to live and drive during the last gasp of the gas-guzzler era? Through the Fourth of July, Seven Days is spotlighting car subcultures. Because chances are, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be up in smoke before you can say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Road trip!â&#x20AC;?

On a recent Tuesday evening, the Tousignants welcome a reporter into their small television den. Bob, who has thin, silver-streaked hair, slouches unassumingly into a worn couch. He wears jeans, socks and a faded brown T-shirt that accentuates his slim arms. His wife, who is more animated, rocks back and forth in a small white chair. Her red T-shirt reads, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sylvester,â&#x20AC;? after the cartoon cat. Behind her, montages of George W. Bush stream across a large television. The president is insisting, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Russia is not our enemy.â&#x20AC;?

Upon closer inspection, the dĂŠcor in this home would make you think Old McDonald had just spent the weekend combing a dollar store for trinkets. The living room, for one, is filled with so many mini horses, pigs and dogs that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s difficult to walk around without tripping. Each step of the Tousignantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main staircase is emblazoned with inspirational sayings such as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Friends are made for sharing hearts,â&#x20AC;? or â&#x20AC;&#x153;I believe in angels.â&#x20AC;? A few snarky plaques on the walls provide balance: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Smile, it confuses people,â&#x20AC;? reads a wooden one by the kitchen doorway; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Professional smartass,â&#x20AC;? quips the ceramic one above Bobâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s head.

When speaking of their cars, Tousignant and his wife assume an almost flippant tone. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some people ask why we have so many

cars,â&#x20AC;? Bob explains dryly. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you have to ask, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s probably more than you can afford.

Right, hon?â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Right,â&#x20AC;? Jane asserts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People ask me why I got the Hummer.

Because I can. Know what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m saying?â&#x20AC;? he adds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What good is money unless you spend it?â&#x20AC;?

The Tousignants certainly practice what they preach: Their cars are like so many articles of designer clothing. Since 1994, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve presided over a rotating vehicular fleet. The last batch â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 1978 CJ 5 Jeep, 2 Yamaha 4wheelers and a 1997 Pontiac Trans Am â&#x20AC;&#x201D; was all red. Now, yellow is their go-to shade. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gotta be the right color to catch our eye,â&#x20AC;? Jane insists.

Bob chimes in, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I like yellow, Jane likes yellow . . .â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve thought about different colors . . . but then, no one would know us,â&#x20AC;? Jane says.

The Tousignants admit they like to be seen around town in their yellow cars. But unlike the Hummer owner whose wheels presumably function as an extension of inflated ego, this couple seems humble. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d never guess from their mannerisms, or their home furnishings, that their driveway was filled with so much overstated luxury. When Jane comes in from the kitchen bearing slices of microwaved sausage-pepperoni pizza, she admits sheepishly, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s store-bought.â&#x20AC;?

Despite their cars, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing blingtastic about the Tousignants. Both volunteer part-time at the local hospitalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s thrift store.

Bob is Junior Vice Commander at the Northfield VFW. He and Jane sometimes cruise for charitable causes, such as diabetes prevention.

These cars also promote family bonding.

The Tousignants are especially fond of their 3-year-old grandson, McClaine, and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve taken him for rides in every one of their whips except the Corvette â&#x20AC;&#x201D; seatbelt laws prohibit it. Bob reports that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s thinking of taking McClaine around in the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;Vette for an upcoming 4th of July parade. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I suppose I could . . .â&#x20AC;? he muses. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only going 2 or 3 miles an hour.

whatever.â&#x20AC;?

As the evening winds down, Tousignant provides further evidence that his cars arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just frivolous accessories. With an estimated combined value of $200,000, their wheels are worth more than their home, which they bought for $20,000 in the early 1970s. In fact, Bob freely relates that the bulk of his retirement savings has gone towards horsepower. Since cars usually depreciate in value over time, that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t exactly seem like sound financial planning.

But Bob insists that if he can only hold onto the Hummer for a few more years, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll start to fetch antique-car prices. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know a vehicle is the worst type of investment you can make,â&#x20AC;? he admits. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re gonna make an investment, it may as well be something you like.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have to enjoy yourself and take every day as it comes, â&#x20AC;&#x2122;cause you never know,â&#x20AC;? Jane concludes.

For many Americans, Hummers are symbols of militarism and consumption. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because the truckâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ancestor, the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Humvee,â&#x20AC;? was designed for the U.S. military in 1985 to be a â&#x20AC;&#x153;light tactical vehicleâ&#x20AC;? that could keep up with tanks. It was civilianized in 1992. And Hummers have one of the worst fuel-economy ratings of any vehicle on the road â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Tousignant reports getting as few as 5 miles per gallon. These days, as an environmental crisis looms, progressives decry the car as the automotive anti-Christ. One website â&#x20AC;&#x201D; www.fuh2.com â&#x20AC;&#x201D; solicits photos of do-gooders giving Hummers the bird.

Does Tousignant, whose grandmother is a full-blooded Abenaki, buy into this culture war?

Hardly. He insists that while he has used his Hummer to intimidate another driver â&#x20AC;&#x201D; an uppity Acura owner with Rhode Island plates who rubbed him the wrong way â&#x20AC;&#x201D; he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think of his car as a power tool.

And even though Tousignantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Wrangler sports VFW plates, he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think of his cars as patriotic emblems. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Any kind of foreign cars, I think, are better made than U.S. cars,â&#x20AC;? Bob notes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know where a car is made anymore â&#x20AC;&#x201D; so whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the big deal on that?â&#x20AC;?

Has he personally encountered any Hummer-inspired hostility? Not really. He says heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been flipped off just once while driving his H1. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bother me,â&#x20AC;? Tousignant says of that encounter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I could care less.â&#x20AC;?

What about the popular sentiment that Hummers are wanton contributors of greenhouse gases? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s global warming?â&#x20AC;? he jokes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone has a car, right?â&#x20AC;?

Once the pizza has been polished off, Bob and Jane saunter out to the driveway and climb into their outsized ride.

Since Jane doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t drive, Bob

» sevendaysvt.com A DETAIL FROM THE RIDIN’ HIGH MURAL

up against the walls Burlington’s outdoor art galleries attract viewers, gardeners . . . and sometimes taggers story: Sam Ankerson

N

early 10 years ago, someone painted an image of a gardener planting hearts on a crumbling brick wall at the corner of North Street and Elmwood Avenue in Burlington’s Old North End. “Planting Peace,” as the mural’s creator, Carol Usher, titled it, became a neighborhood landmark. It inspired community-gardening projects and drew attention away from a nearby cluster of scrawled graffiti. A photograph of the mural even landed on the cover of a book — Vermonter Ron Krupp’s The Woodchuck’s Guide to Gardening (Whetstone Books, 2001). Recalls Doug Hoffman, longtime pastor of the Jubilee Church and now the Kids A.L.I.V.E children’s church on Elmwood: “It was really a point of contact in the neighborhood; the kids loved it . . . it was a beautiful thing.”

But murals have uncertain lives. Early last month, “Planting Peace” vanished when the brick wall and adjacent building were demolished for safety reasons. When it came down, a project manager at the site surveyed the rubble and concluded, “Well, you can call it one thing; I call it graffiti.”

So what’s the difference between murals and graffiti? It depends on whom you ask, but permission to paint — or lack thereof — is the bottom line. (See accompanying article, “Talkin’ Tags,” on page 36A.) Stylistic characteristics shape impressions, as well: Most graffiti comes in the form of spray-painted names, or tags — such as those discovered recently atop the brand-new Courtyard Marriott hotel on Battery Street. Most murals are figurative, even

narrative. They’re the ones Burlington’s Graffiti Removal Team (GRT) doesn’t try to erase. Around downtown Burlington, you can find plenty of examples of both art forms — good and bad — and the two often clash.

Angie Spong is the director of the GRT at Burlington’s Center for Communities and Neighborhoods (C-CAN). One of the team’s strategies for combating graffiti, she explains, is organizing community members, former taggers and local nonprofits to create murals at chronically spray-painted sites. “By creating an atmosphere that shows the place is cared for,” Spong says, “I hope that can sometimes cause taggers to think twice.”

On May 17, the GRT installed a series of 11 small murals on a fence at the corner of North Union and North streets. Kids and adults from the Boys & Girls Club, the King Street Youth Center and the Howard Center were among the contributors. Coated in a spraypaint-resistant finish, the murals bear messages that are meant to give observers pause, such as a Martin Luther King, Jr. quote: “Life’s most persistent question is: ‘What are you doing for others?’”

Historically, of course, murals have had many inspirations besides keeping graffiti at bay. The form can be traced back to the first cave paintings, which are about 30,000 years old. The tradition includes some of the world’s most renowned and beloved art works — think Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel — and has often been used to broadcast appeals for political or social activism.

Mexican muralism, a bona fide school of art, is defined

by the style in which artists such as Diego Rivera and José Clemente Orozco painted leftist political themes in the 1920s and ’30s. (Orozco’s monumental, 24-panel mural, entitled “The Epic of American Civilization,” is installed at Dartmouth College.) In the 1980s, artist Keith Haring married social activism to urban, streetsmart style. The graffiti-writer-turned-superstar-painter made famous the “Crack is Wack” anti-drug message through one of several murals he painted — with permission — in New York City.

Though they’re generally less dramatic, Burlington’s murals reflect all sorts of raisons d’être: civic collaborations, activist messages, historical narratives, jokes, constructive outlets for former taggers, weirdness and just plain artistic expression. Underlying them all is a basic impulse to engage the community through art.

Burlington artist Gina Carrera, a volunteer with the GRT, has been painting murals since the early 1990s.

“Why do I do it?” she muses. “Because we’re so saturated with information — I try to make it so people can get away, take a breath for a second.”

What follows is a “get-away” guide to many of the city’s murals. All are in walking distance of downtown Burlington. Caveat: The list is long, but not comprehensive; chances are you’ll discover dozens more murals along the way.

Audio slideshow online at:

www.sevendaysvt.com Take a virtual mural tour with Sam Ankerson.

Main Street near University Heights (1) Created in the late 1980s, the mural outside the Living/Learning Center at the University of Vermont is probably Burlington’s oldest surviving outdoor painting. According to center director Pat Brown, a student organization commissioned a Central American artist to help raise awareness about injustice in El Salvador. The 48-foot-long piece unfolds themes of education, religion, agriculture and oppression. In its center, a determined-looking group of people march, holding a banner that reads “Solidarity for Peace in El Salvador.”

This is one of the city’s most overtly political murals, bringing it closest to the tradition of communicating activist messages. Its bright colors and thick black outlines reinforce the overall theme of strength.

Two collaborative pieces made by members of the UVM community flank the El Salvador mural. One is a fervent ode to environmentalism, featuring a dream-like natural vista overlaid with poems, lyric fragments and imperatives (“Bliss Out!”). The other is a response to 9/11, painted between October 5 and November 15, 2001, and dedicated: In loving memory of those affected by war. This mural is densely packed with small images and text conveying hope, grief and calls for peace.

1

Corner of Pine and Locust Streets (2) For the South End Art Hop in 2005, Burlington artist “Airbrush Ron” Hernandez painted the Buddha — or rather, giant Buddha face — on a small building belonging to the Burlington Electric Department. The best way to approach it is head on, walking west on Locust Street toward Pine — the Buddha’s sky-blue, rather bored-looking eyes will gaze right at you.

Two adjacent sides of the building are painted with giant waves of flowers and water. Hernandez calls them “tsunamis of peace.”

Peaceful as it may appear, the mural originally brought a flood of criticism, followed by censorship. When Hernandez first painted it, the waves were crashing down on weapons. Some citizens complained to BED that the mural’s message was “too antiwar,” eventually prompting Hernandez to paint over the offending images. Objections subsided, but now graffiti tags are a recurring problem. Hernandez, who has painted several murals in Burlington and elsewhere in Vermont, is trying to organize a project to encourage taggers to redirect their energies into making murals. “I think that murals are an inspiration to do something better,” he suggests.

157 South Champlain Street (between King and Main) (3) Painted on the south side of an abandoned building, this mural depicts elements of destruction, healing and growth in nature. From the left, a large fire encroaches on evergreens, wildflowers and palm trees. On the right, aloe plants counterbalance the fire. The painting’s strong greens and yellows are visible half a block away.

Noah Krowther, owner of a Volkswagen repair shop next door, painted this mural in fall 2006 with three helpers and the guidance of Frank Gonzalez. An artist and intermittent Burlington resident, Gonzalez has a resume that includes several murals he painted in Mexico City in the 1970s. “He really got us in gear to do it,” says Krowther. “He pushed and pushed, and helped us with materials.” Though Krowther considers the mural unfinished, he enjoys it and the positive feedback he’s received. “It kind of spices up the old building,” he says.

3

King Street Ferry Dock (4) Downtown Burlington’s largest mural — more than 150 feet long and two stories high — appears at the bottom of King Street on the west side of the Burlington Shipyard Building. Painted in 1995 by artist Gina Carrera, it depicts a scene of Burlington Harbor circa 1900.

“I wanted to express the heavy logging industry at that time,” Carrera says. “I was looking at a lot of historic photographs and decided I wanted to create something special as a gateway for people getting off the ferry.”

She approached the Lake Champlain Transportation Company, whose representatives liked the idea and provided her with paint and scaffolding for the job. Carrera says she completed it in just 47 hours.

The viewpoint is from the middle of the lake and includes the old Burlington Yacht Club (now the Burlington Boathouse) and three steamboats, with the city in the background. The mural sustained significant damage during the 1998 ice storm, but what remains is an enticing rendering of the city’s past.

Carrera notes that, at one point in the mid-1990s, she had nine murals around Burlington. Most have been painted over; her only other intact piece is “The Rainforest” (see below) on Church Street.

Smiling bikers, joggers, kayakers and skateboarders zip around — along with the now-defunct Champlain Flyer commuter train.

Spencer wanted to get his message across with a mural, but his aesthetic motivation was strong as well: “There’s a lot of gray and asphalt around here,” he says. “It’s good to have a little color!”

Hodges has a second waterfront mural at Perkins Pier, at the bottom of Maple Street. Overlooking a small playground is a lake-and-mountain scene with dramatic swirls of bright reds and greens; large white birds fill the sky. Painted in 2004, the mural is signed by Hodges and Maja Freeman.

Union Station, 1 Main Street (5) Another historical mural, this one tracing the evolution of the Burlington waterfront, lines a long wall inside Union Station on the lower level. Melinda Moulton of Main Street Landing Co., which developed Union Station, commissioned the ninepanel painting 10 years ago. She selected the images from a group that had been used in a slide show about Burlington history and asked artist Nancy Barnett to reproduce them.

The sepia-and-brown paintings illustrate nearly 400 years of history, from Champlain’s arrival, to logging and railroads, to the height of the steamboat era. The images also depict the waterfront’s industrial decline during the mid-20th century and subsequent rebirth as a vibrant community space and event site. The final panel could be a combination of the Discover Jazz and Chew-Chew festivals.

Another of Melinda Moulton’s mural commissions appears on the third floor of 60 Lake Street, a.k.a. Lake & College.

“Airbrush Ron” Hernandez (of Buddha fame) painted the ceiling with a 360-degree vista of the Lake Champlain valley.

For best results, a viewer should stand, or maybe lie, directly beneath the center. Hernandez has assigned a season to

each direction: To the south is autumn in peak foliage, west in the Adirondacks it is winter, the northern islands are enjoying spring, and summer reigns in Burlington and the Green Mountains. Rising over all, a night sky extends to four skylights.

The beautifully painted mural elicits “lots of woweezowees” from visitors, according to Moulton. It’s also a favorite of Hernandez, who has been airbrushing in Vermont since the early 1970s.

Shop owner John Van Hazinga says he’s featured about 20 artists on Ridin’ High so far — he tries to rotate in a new crop of murals each year. This skater-curator approach has produced a gallery of sorts for pieces that are pointedly different from the more typical community- and environmentthemed murals in Burlington.

85 Pearl Street (9)

1 Steele Street, on the Bike Path (6) A tall, skinny mural — about 15 feet high and 2 feet wide — is stationed just outside the Wing Building and the headquarters of sustainable transportation advocates Local Motion. Artist and former Burlington resident Kate Hodges painted the piece in 2001 at the request of Local Motion founder Chapin Spencer. Energetic colors and brushwork complement the mural’s subject: car-free transportation.

On the east wall of The Dough Boy Coffee Shop, in the shadow of the Cathedral of Immaculate Conception, resides “Eggman Comes to America.” This unusual creation comes from Burlington artist Tony Shull, who says he’s been painting murals around town for nearly 40 years. Humor is in short supply on many Queen City murals, but there’s a touch of tongue-in-cheek ’tude here.

Shull’s Eggman — a large egg with arms, legs and a smiling face — has just crossed a body of water and is stepping ashore carrying a large American flag. The rest of the approximately 50-foot-long mural is dominated by nine large trees, each embraced by one or two people. Why so many tree-huggers? “Oh, I just thought it would be funny,” says the artist.

“I thought it would be perfect for a place like Burlington.”

Shull says he conceived the idea of Eggman after 9/11.

“Everyone had flags everywhere,” he recalls. “I said, ‘OK, I’m going to have the Eggman holding a big American flag.’”

2 Pearl Street (corner of Pearl and Battery) (8) Six murals are packed on to the newly turquoise walls of the small building that is Ridin’ High Skate Shop. Several are in the graffiti style, complete with day-glo spray paint, but there’s also a wonderfully sinister, silhouetted figure on one corner of the building, and to the right of the entrance is a tree dripping with vines. In the middle of the wall facing Battery Street, a totem pole bears several faces; the shop’s name is painted near the top.

SEVEN DAYS | june 13-20, 2007 | feature 31A

Shull’s revised the Eggman mural a few times since 2001, and calls it “a work in progress.” As of this writing, he was waiting for the rain to stop so he could do some more painting.

With a high-profile location in the alley between Maplehurst Florist and Banana Republic, Gina Carrera’s “The Rainforest” may well be the most frequently viewed mural in Burlington.

A long, sprawling jungle scene features groups of animals — cheetahs, lions, pandas and a few exotic Holsteins, to name a few. When Carrera painted “The Rainforest” in 1992, her aim was to make it particularly relevant to children by demonstrating that animals also have families. In addition to the mural’s title, she painted in the names of local businesses that donated materials or money toward its completion.

The city is currently floating proposals to enhance the appearance of this alley, which is a gateway to Church Street from the parking garage. The eventual overhaul could include painting or bricking over Carrera’s work.

75 South Winooski Avenue (between Bank and Cherry) (12) The murals on the walls behind Handy’s Texaco are the work of four young artists who approached owner Charlie Handy in 2006 for permission. They consist mostly of sophisticated, spray-painted tags, but include a well-painted celestial scene. The murals are dedicated to Handy’s father Salamin, who died in 1997.

Handy says he’s happy to support mural painting if it

was painted by Burlington artist Michael Tonn in 2005.

The idea for the mural came from Lee Anderson, the shop’s owner, who was inspired by public artworks he saw during a visit to Amsterdam. Anderson approached Tonn and asked for a “hip-looking bird.” He adds, “I’ve always connected with crows. The crow often plays the role of prankster in mythology . . . undermining authority, but in a constructive way.”

Anderson notes that he’s asked Tonn to paint a second mural next to the entrance — a crow playing the saxophone — and expects it will be completed this summer.

Center Street (across from The Daily Planet) (13) Artists have painted at least half a dozen murals on the back wall of the Mobil station across from the Daily Planet Restaurant. Since 2002, though, it’s been home to “Flight, Freedom, and Dreams.” The 13-by-65-foot work was a collaboration between VSA Arts of Vermont and other nonprofits that aimed to discourage graffiti through public-art projects and to offer creative opportunities to adults with developmental disabilities. Kate Hodges led this project — her signature swirling colors and soaring birds dominate the mural.

More than 40 people joined Hodges in the effort; their contributions are found mostly in smaller details at eye level.

inexplicably, a rocket. Almost everything is upside-down. The candy-colored mural, signed “Yelodog” and also “Sarah Lee Woodard with help from Edgar Stewart,” has survived for more than a decade.

156 Church Street (corner of Church and Main) (15) From the top of a wall at 156 Church, which houses Smokejacks restaurant, a pair of mysterious, almost identical blue faces stare blankly. They merge with the profile of a third face, gazing toward the lake. The trio of faces dominates a jumble of spray-painted forms and elaborate tags that would be right at home in the New York City subway.

Observers get the best view of this wall from the third floor of the Firehouse Gallery across the street. “I love those faces,” says gallery curator Ruth Erickson. “People comment >> 32A

Shull explains: â&#x20AC;&#x153;A few years ago in that space I painted a doctor holding a Pepsi. Then on Green-Up Day they painted over it. So I painted the doctor again, and on the next Green-Up Day they painted over it again. So I said, OK, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll paint the Virgin Mary. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s see if they paint over that.â&#x20AC;? So far, so good.

While Shull was painting Mary, he says, a couple watched.

They left and soon returned with paints to contribute a variation on his subject. The three painted ladies in a row bear an eerie, mysterious aura befitting a dark alley.

on [the mural] a lot. They say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Ooh . . . cool graffiti.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? So, is it a mural or graffiti? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I guess itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a fine line,â&#x20AC;? observes Erickson.

According to building owner Larry Bohen, the work was painted â&#x20AC;&#x153;about four or five years ago,â&#x20AC;? in part to discourage the significant tagging the high-profile wall had attracted.

Burlington City Arts approached Bohen with the idea, and the mural was eventually painted by a small group of artists with connections to Burlington design firm Jager Di Paola Kemp.

Four large murals blanket the outside of a utility-and-publicrestroom building in the middle of Roosevelt Park in the Old North End. The most prominent, called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hands Are Not for Hitting,â&#x20AC;? was spearheaded by artist Jeannie Waltz in 1995 and named after an anti-violence campaign organized by area nonprofits, including Women Helping Battered Women, the Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Rape Crisis Center and VSA Arts of Vermont.

17

Alley off Main Street, between Nectarâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and Esox (16) Three small murals painted with acrylic appear on the external wall of Esox. Each was painted in 2006 by different people, though the consistency among them suggests otherwise. On the right is a portrait of the Virgin Mary painted by Tony Shull (see â&#x20AC;&#x153;Eggman Comes to Americaâ&#x20AC;?). Was he trying to say something by painting Mary on a bar? It was more of a tactical decision,

16

The design depicts two hands joined in front of a large, rainbow-colored heart. Most striking about this mural: some 700 dipped-in-paint handprints applied by community members after they signed a pact against violence.

Burlingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most abstract mural fills a second wall on the building: The loose assemblage of simple shapes with rounded edges evokes an incomplete jigsaw puzzle. Burlington and Louisiana artist Clark Derbes painted it in 2003 at the request of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s anti-graffiti team, with the help of several volunteers. The design is distinctive, but Derbesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; motivation was mostly logistical: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just wanted to do something flat-shaped that the community could execute easily,â&#x20AC;? he explains.

Derbes painted this mural around the same time he was covering several downtown electrical and traffic-control boxes

with similarly colorful shapes. These box paintings were endorsed by the Department of Public Works and generally well received by the community as an improvement over gray metal, but they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t last long. Burlington City Arts recycled Derbesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; idea earlier this spring with a request-for-proposals to paint four boxes in the downtown area.

A third wall of the Roosevelt Park building features a slightly fantastical Lake Champlain vista combining Champ and palm trees. The fourth mural sets 15 silhouettes of adults and children at play against a brightly colored background.

C-CANâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Angie Spong says tagging is â&#x20AC;&#x153;relentlessâ&#x20AC;? at Roosevelt, but the GRT and other community members are doing what they can to make it less prominent. Kids and staff from the nearby Boys & Girls Club of Burlington recently painted over tags â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a visit in mid-May found the murals nearly graffiti-free. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Who knows? If those murals werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t there, it could be worse,â&#x20AC;? Spong says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s much better than blank walls with tags.â&#x20AC;? ďż˝

So you want to be a mural artist . . .

Step one? Ask permission. If you want to paint on a privately owned building, contact the owner with your idea, and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be discouraged by rejections â&#x20AC;&#x201D; it comes with the territory. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m amazed people are so afraid,â&#x20AC;? says Tony Shull. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ninety-five percent of the time they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want it.

I tell them: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only paint.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? If a building owner likes the idea, however, he or she will often help by providing paint and other materials.

If city property tempts you, first check the Burlington City Arts website â&#x20AC;&#x201D; www.burlingtoncityarts.com â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or call Sara Katz, director of BCAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Art in Public Places program, at 865-5356.

AN 8-FOOT-HIGH GRAFFITI PIECE UNDER A BURLINGTON-AREA OVERPASS, SIGNED “RESKER” AND “KAES.”

Talkin’ Tags An (ex)graffiti artist goes public

C STORY

MIKE IVES For more information about Kriya Studio’s July 28 Graffiti Art Contest, contact Julia Roth at kriya studio@gmail.com.

Private individuals or businesses interested in sponsoring murals, coaching artists, donating paint, or just talking about public-art alternatives can contact C-CAN at 865-7548.

ompared with other small American cities, Burlington has a reputation for being hip and artsy. But when it comes to public perceptions of graffiti, that hiphop-inflected, spray-paint-intensive artistic subculture — fuhgeddaboudit. At least, that’s the word from a former “tagger.” He reports that average Burling tonians don’t have a clue about all the graffiti in their midst — where it’s done and who’s doing it, let alone what those bubble letters mean. Then again, he doesn’t really want them to find out.

By anyone’s measure, graffiti is a touchy subject in the Queen City.

While it’s hard to take the pulse of an art movement that thrives on anonymity and marginality, a Burlington Police Department official suggests graffiti has become an “increasingly burdensome problem,” especially in the last two years. In fact, BPD has begun customizing its reporting procedures to better document graffiti incidents.

A short walk around downtown seems to justify BPD’s policy change: New “tags,” or hastily spray-painted letters, pop up on a weekly basis on both public and private property, almost always without the consent of city or landowners. Just this month, Burlington’s City Council passed a new “anti-tagging” ordinance that will raise the penalty for illegal spraying from the standard $50 to as much as $500.

Who’s responsible for this anarchocornucopia of color? Why do taggers get such a thrill from being a collective pain in the ass? And what’s the place, if any, of graffiti in a progressive, aesthetically aware city?

Just before midnight on a recent Friday, a former “writer” — he prefers that moniker to “tagger” — bikes over to the Seven Days office near the Burlington waterfront. It’s the first really humid night of the year. Swollen clouds hang over Lake Champlain, and sounds from downtown nightclubs drift down the hill.

Joe (not his real name), who is in his early twenties, has agreed to meet a reporter on the condition that his personal info remain confidential. Once inside, he seats himself under a bank of fluorescent lights, as if for an interrogation.

Between the sticky weather and Joe’s skittishness, the interview could almost pass for a scene from “Miami Vice.”

Since it first appeared en masse on

New York City subway cars in the 1970s, graffiti has been recognized as an underground expression of anti-authoritarian, class and creative angst.

According to Joe, who claims to associate with 10 to 15 writers and have an “ear to the streets,” Burlington’s graffiti scene fits that profile, more or less. For example, he says that while local writers don’t travel in aggressive gangs, they do spray in the company of artistic “crews,” or social support networks. And, while he maintains it’s difficult to generalize about the type of person who gravitates to the art form, Joe admits the writers he knows share a desire to — ahem — stick it to the man. He sprinkles his commentary with snide allusions to “rich people” and “Jersey college kids.”

Still, says Joe, writers aren’t out there just to feed an anti-authority complex or combat urban gentrification. “All the [writers] I know are interested in art as a whole and do all sorts of different things,” he avers. “Most have a history of canvas painting.” Joe himself cites such varied personal influences as Salvador Dalí, children’s drawings and tattoo art.

Sounds like writing on walls could fit right into the local art scene. There’s a catch, though: Joe insists the writers he’s referring to aren’t the ones pissing off city officials. As he describes it, Burlington’s graffiti gurus adhere to an artistic hierarchy in which seasoned writers look down on callous upstarts.

It’s the new generation of renegade high schoolers, he contends, that’s been causing all the uproar.

Joe himself, who has lived in Vermont “off and on” his whole life, subscribes to what he calls an “unwritten rule.” It prohibits spraying on both private property and existing art — including murals. To hear him complain about the recent upsurge in so-called inferior tags, you’d think he was one of the very “Jersey college kids” he likes to dis.

“When I see drunken, ugly messes for, like, three blocks,” Joe gripes, “I’m like, ‘What was this kid thinking?’”

To accentuate his point, he removes a CD from his bag and pops it into a laptop. A series of 33 colorful, stylistically diverse spray-paint creations graces the screen. Joe is careful to point out that he didn’t make any of them; he says he merely documents others’ work.

Most of these pieces have been sprayed under bridges or overpasses, others on

Of all the pieces in this catalogue, Joe is especially drawn to an 8-foot duet job sprayed on the underside of a Burlington-area overpass. It features a parade of angular lettering. “If you haven’t seen a lot of [graffiti],” he cautions, “it’s hard to understand.” A short tutorial reveals that the bubbles are actually the artists’ code names: “RESKER,” scrawled in pink and blue; and “KAES,” in bright yellow.

Despite its expansive energy, the piece — which Joe estimates took between two and four hours to create — displays a surprising degree of creative economy. “This has a lot of detail to it, but it’s painted really well,” Joe says. “All the letters are, like, really crispy. This person obviously knows how to use a can of spray paint.”

decries the recent tagging epidemic as shameless vandalism, he also admits graffiti is “a rebellious thing by nature” that will never please “40-year-old soccer moms.” True to that spirit, one of his photos immortalizes a tag that was sprayed atop the Chittenden Emergency Food Shelf on North Winooski Avenue.

The tag’s neon-green bubble letters read, “KAESR” — apparently a variation on the “KAES” signature. Joe guesses it probably took 20 or 30 minutes to create, under cover of night. Then he suggests that publicly sanctioned murals, or “legals,” are just for posers. “Legals aren’t really graffiti,” he scoffs. “Even if there are letters, it’s still a mural.”

Joe’s attitude wouldn’t please the city residents who put considerable time and resources — an estimated $50,000 in 2006 — into cleaning up unwanted graffiti. Since tagging can be done so quickly

A PIECE BY “CHILE”

When Joe gives a run-down of how the painting process works, you’d think he was describing a Vermeer. The first step, he says, is outlining a “basic skeleton” of your letter shapes. Then, decorate the “fill” and add “shine” — slivers of white paint that give letters a “plasticky” look — before laying down the “drop,” or shadow. Finally, add an outline to make the letters stand out.

No wonder he’s riding such a high horse when it comes to the recent tagging controversy. “The people I’m talking about aren’t the ones out fucking up our town,” Joe stresses. “I mean, they are, to a certain extent — but they’re not the reason why our town is so ugly right now. I’ll put it that way.”

This former writer’s ambivalence expresses itself in an artistic doublespeak that could be emblematic of the Burlington graffiti scene. While Joe

and on such an epic scale, any successful effort to curb it will probably have to win the approval of the culture jammers themselves. That hasn’t happened so far.

Case in point: Last year, three city-sanctioned panels painted by former taggers at the corner of North and North Union streets, in Burlington’s Old North End, were vandalized by taggers.

According to Angie Spong, an AmeriCorps-VISTA worker at Burlington’s Center for Community and Neighborhoods (C-CAN), BPD processed 32 graffiti violations in 2005 and 2006. Thirty of the sprayers, she says, were over 18 — a number that suggests the problem isn’t just a teenage fad, as Joe claims.

A BPD official confirms that general trend. Of last year’s violators, Spong notes, four participated in C-CAN’s Restorative Justice Program. Four new

SEVEN DAYS | june 13-20, 2007 | feature 37A

offenders have already entered the program in 2007.

But Spong sees some light at the end of the overpass tunnel. Since August, the 26year-old AmeriCorps worker has been trying to find ways to beautify the city without alienating its underground “offenders.”

Spong’s organization, a division of Burlington’s Community and Economic Development Office (CEDO), played a major role in drafting the recent anti-tagging ordinance. But its mission isn’t just punitive: In May, C-CAN helped erect 12 new graffiti panels at the corner of North Street and North Union, a third of them sponsored by its Restorative Justice program.

A local art studio is also doing its part to help nurture B-town’s graffiti scene. Julia Roth is co-founder and director of Kriya Art Studio, which she describes as an affordable “art networking” and “creative” space. She’s promoting a graffiti art contest at her Old North End quarters on July 28, when interested artists will have the opportunity to paint on a blank wall in the studio parking lot. Winners will earn the privilege of painting on another, as-yet-unannounced wall, which will eventually become a rotating exhibition template for local talent.

Roth, 27, says she wants to see more emphasis placed on the “artistic side” of graffiti. For instance, she thinks the city could do more to promote painting on sites such as

While Joe decries the recent tagging epidemic as shameless vandalism, he also admits graffiti is “a rebellious thing by nature” that will never please “40-year-old soccer moms.” electrical boxes. “There are things like that all over the place,” she notes. “Why not paint them? Why not make them pretty?”

Meanwhile, Spong continues to walk the line between aesthetic appreciation and public duty. She appreciates the controversial art form — when it doesn’t break any laws. “I think a lot of graffiti art is really awesome,” says Spong. “However, when it’s just a dirty word across the side of some old lady’s house?

That’s tagging, and that’s very, very different.

I think that’s really offensive and unnecessary, and I think people who do that should have to pay the consequences for it.”

What does Joe the ex-tagger think of the various efforts to revitalize Burlington’s public spaces? “I think that’s cool, definitely. It’d be cool to have more murals around, of all sorts,” he reflects, adding that he thinks the new fines will probably help deter tagging.

He also wishes more private businesses would help out by offering sites for painting.

But in the end, Joe cautions, many writers will paint wherever they want, no matter what the stakes. Graffiti “would happen anyway; you’re not going to be able to stop it,” he claims. “I think part of the reason that people do it is because of the risk of getting arrested. They’re doing something illegal, and they’re beating the system.”

If Spong is an uncommonly open-hearted official, then Joe ranks as one of the most civic-minded ruffians in the pantheon of subcultural revolt. As he collects his belongings in the Seven Days office, he puts one final, oddly considerate touch on the portrait of a complicated situation. “I like graffiti, but I don’t really like what our town looks like right now,” he observes. “I think it’s a problem, and I wish there was some way we could steer the younger generation in a better direction.” � 3x10-FAHC032107.indd 1

rator. In “Deer Population at Night,” when Ackerson-Kiely asks,“Who among us will take on their lean peril, / who has a face that is running away, / a soft hock to be engaged, please // leave me alone with my fear,” the question is rhetorical — punctuated not with a question mark but a period. The narrator implies that she herself will take on their “lean peril” and sends a warning cry to deer everywhere: Scatter.

With these hunted or road-struck deer, the poems hint darkly at partially submerged acts of violence, often sexual. In one poem, entitled “Brother,” AckersonKiely writes, “Someone in distress. Someone / yelling get him off me. // You might never get him off you.” In the next poem, “Deer Population at Night,” she describes the animals by the road as “bro. ken” and quickly defines the term as “brother, to know.” Because of the previous poem, we’re tempted to read that Scottish word for “know” as in the “Biblical sense.”

The menace of potential violence is never far from the surface of these poems,

but that is hardly their only emotional register. Ackerson-Kiely can be playful, wistful and melodic: “One by one mason jars are filled; / my beet-struck heart vinegared,” she writes in “A Moment as Roscoe Holcomb,” in tribute to the old-time banjo player. Likewise, in “An Old Recording,” rustling newspapers are “like I love you whispered / over and over until / the awkward place which is neither / the ear or the throat itches terribly / and cannot be found with a finger.”

The unscratchable itch lives, like many of the objects of desire Ackerson-Kiely summons, somewhere between the imagination and the viscera. To say that her poetic subject is inwardness would be understatement; to call it confessional would miss the point. It follows a trajectory from the personal to the private, the private to the hidden, the hidden to the unsayable.

In No One’s Land is a personal archaeology of loss, one inscribed in the flesh like faded bruises and improperly set bones. Ackerson-Kiely’s high lonesome verses pose unformable questions and answer them in the only way possible: crab-wise and tentatively. � 3x8-NEFCU060607.indd 1

Body Piercing

T EXHIBIT “Strata & Transmutations,” new encaustic paintings and manipulated prints by Linda E. Jones.

215 College Street Artists’ Cooperative Gallery, Burlington.

Through June 17.

ARTWORK “Rocks, Stitches & Rock Ring” by Linda E. Jones

PHOTO Marc Awodey

he “Isenheim Altarpiece” of 1515, by German master Matthias Grünewald, was commissioned by monks of the Antonite monastery hospital at Isenheim in Alsace, a sort of Renaissance Mayo Clinic for the dreaded skin disease called Saint Anthony’s Fire. The work’s purpose was to remind patients that Christ, too, had suffered. Its central interior section, one of nine unfolding hinged panels, is a grisly portrayal of the scourged Christ’s agonizing crucifixion.

Some similar motive may have inspired “Strata & Transmutations,” Linda Jones’ new exhibit at 215 College Street Artists’ Cooperative Gallery in Burlington.

In this new collection of mixed-media works on paper, she unflinchingly incorporates injury into her aesthetic.

That strange emphasis, combined with her restless search for new technical challenges, ensures a dynamic show and demonstrates why Jones has been one of Vermont’s leading artists through the last three decades.

A slice of Grünewald’s savior’s torn and punctured flesh seems to have been passed down to the Burlington painter. Her 47-by-35-inch Iris print “Torso with Twigs” is a bloodied abstraction that’s among Jones’ toughest images. “Torso with Twigs” blends digital pictures of a wounded Caucasian midsection to create a vision of palpable pain. The skin appears to be punctured by wires and sutures, reminiscent of the thorns and slivers rendered by Grünewald.

Jones saturates her paper with encaustic medium to

make it especially translucent. That application also compounds the richness of Iris print’s ink-jet printing, as the ink appears to float on the surface rather than soak into the paper.

References to medical trauma are everywhere in the show, although not all are as harsh as “Torso with Twigs.” “Ribs on Rock” contains strata of mixed-media painting applied on an Iris print. It’s also a layered narrative. The 17-by-23-inch rock form, superimposed on a chest X-ray, employs an ovoid shape that Jones introduced to her work in 1988. In a brief statement posted with the exhibition, she describes it as becoming “an integral part of my iconographic language ever since.”

Patches of rusty red encaustic drip over the paper, and a white line tracing the sternum from an upside-down perspective meanders over the X-ray.

In “Rocks, Stitches & Rock Ring,” the bulky mass of a pale beige stone, dappled with greenish gray, contrasts with sinewy red lines, which seem stitched into and over the stone. Lines and shapes also subtly slide free of the rectangle, imparting a sense of organic movement. The digital print is further enlivened with swaths of encaustic and mixed media. An interesting technical subtext to the show is Jones’ evolution from the painterly surfaces of monoprints and canvasses to more transparent, illusionistic Iris surfaces — sometimes purely digital and sometimes mixed with spontaneous painterly statements.

“Tidal Tummy with Skate’s Egg” echoes a series exhibited at 215 College Street last year, based on Atlantic Ocean tidal life. A crisp, well-defined, fourhorned skate’s egg floats in the foreground of the 54by-44-inch print, as murky layers of indistinct silvery gray — perhaps X-rays altered beyond recognition — recede into the distance. The skate’s egg is described with the same ruddy red-orange encaustic that Jones splashed onto “Ribs on Rock,” but it’s purely a print rather than a mixed-media image.

A large installation entitled “Traces of Life” originated with photos Jones took in Scotland of a 3000year-old burial cairn. A circle of stones collaged and printed on Reeves BFK paper transverses three hanging panels of handmade Nepali paper permeated with encaustic wax. The strange outline of an armored knight in repose — taken from a relief carving on a flat slab — is projected through the panels to cast a “Shroud of Turin”-style ghostly image in the circle.

The image of the knight’s grave is as peaceful as “Torso with Twigs” may be troubling to some. But Jones’ art is about more than twigs, stones and broken bones. X-rays and translucent papers are metaphors for the act of revealing cloudy enigmas. Like a multi-panel altarpiece, “Strata & Transmutations” is a mysterious narrative, turning on the transience of earthly affliction. Viewers may read into that story yet another layer of meaning, drawn from their own perceptions. m

PAINT LIKE AN EGYPTIAN

At Village Wine &

Coffee in Shelburne this month, Brattleboro artist Susan Osgood displays a scintillating exhibit of works on paper created in Egypt. She painted with local colors — literally. “Very near to where I work in Luxor, at the foot of the desert plateau which stretches on west across Africa, is a place the locals call ‘Wadi el Loan’ or ‘Valley of the Colors,’” she writes. “Nodules of color in the sandstone vary from browns to scarlet reds to yellow ochres.”

The desert pigments are brilliant in her nonfigurative works. The venue has some exotic coffee, too. Pictured: “Egypt Drawing XX.“

I “Something Pertaining to God: The Patchwork Art of Rosie Lee Tompkins,” Shelburne Museum.

Through October 28.

Collector Eli Leon gives a lecture entitled “Models in the Mind: African Prototypes and American Patchwork” on June 21, 5 p.m., at the Shelburne Museum. $9.

A JUMPER MADE FROM MEN’S TIES

n the catalogue for Rosie Lee Tompkins’ solo exhibit at the Shelburne Museum, a quote from esteemed New York Times art critic Roberta Smith describes her work: “These pictorial powerhouses are like multifaceted jewels spread flat before the eye yet turning in the light, their sparkling shards of color and mutating geometries full of mystery and life.”

Abstract paintings? Not quite. Smith is gushing about quilts. And if you think that’s mighty grand art-speak for the homey craft of piecing fabric together . . . you haven’t seen “Something Pertaining to God: The Patchwork Art of Rosie Lee Tompkins.”

On view through October 28 in the Shelburne’s “Hat and Fragrance” gallery, Tompkins’ boldly colorful and inventively patterned creations — not just quilts but pillows, wall hangings, chair coverings, book bags and odd articles of clothing — are stunningly original. The visual punch of these items is an artistic K.O. that temporarily renders you speechless. And then, the word most likely to escape your lips is “Wow.” Rosie Lee Tompkins, whose real name was Effie Mae Howard, was an AfricanAmerican “untrained” textile artist from Richmond, California, who passed away last year at the age of 70. Intensely private — hence the pseudonym — she produced her works in obscurity until she was “discovered” by Eli Leon just over 20 years ago. A collector and scholar of African-American quilts, Leon, 71, says it took some doing to persuade Tompkins to sell hers. The first one she was willing to part with, he explains over the phone from his home in Oakland, was her dog’s blanket. Now restored to its original glory and hanging in the Shelburne, the 73-by-112-inch quilt is a dramatic assemblage of black and red squares and triangles.

Many of Tompkins’ works feature Christian crosses and her

signature spidery lettering — including her given name, Effie — stitched in yarn. The crosses, and the title of this exhibit, indicate that Tompkins was deeply religious — many of her projects are also embroidered with the numbers of scriptures.

But Leon says that, though she was “really into the Bible,” her religion was “very personal. In the last 10 years, I don’t think she went to a

EMBROIDERED AND APPLIQUED “JEWELRY” HANGING

church. Her quilts had something to do with her spiritual relationship to family members, often dead,” he adds. “For her, making quilts was a form of prayer.”

Tompkins once explained her aesthetic gift to Leon this way: “I think it’s because I love them so much, the Lord let me see all these different colors.”

Exhibits such as the Shelburne show — whose contents are from Leon’s collection — allow the rest of us to see them, too.

Critic Smith suggests that Tompkins’ works are astonishing examples of African-American improvisational quilts. As “Something Pertaining to God” amply illustrates, the style is characterized by idiosyncratic deviations from the “rules” of the art form — as in jazz improv. Patterns may approximate regularity but then veer into sinuous curves or inspired riffs on shape, color and/or texture. Case in point: Tompkins’ quilt titled “Halfsquares Put-together.” Strips of dovegray moiré taffeta border the roughly 78-by-94-inch work on two sides; the vast middle ground is an exuberantly colored and playfully erratic arrangement of not-quite-square solids and prints. In fact, even the “half-squares” — a traditional quilting technique that involves splitting the square diagonally — are rarely equalsized triangles.

Not surprisingly, such non-linear reasoning makes for off-kilter quilts. In many of Tompkins’ works, one end — perhaps the starting point? — seems to initiate a more or less regulation rectangle, but by the time the motley arrangement of patches reaches the other end, it has become a sassy geometrical mutation. Just looking at them makes you giddy, as if sharing in the subversive joy of breaking the rules.

But viewers shouldn’t think Tompkins had no regard for order: The very title “Three Sixes” suggests otherwise. That’s the name of a quilt composed of eyepopping yellow, gold and orange squares punctuated by purple and black ones, all of various sizes. The visually arresting work is an op-art masterpiece. But what appears at first to be a random arrangement is in fact structured in blocks: three rows of six squares.

she had,” Leon concedes, “but she did it from a genius perspective.”

The Shelburne Museum exhibit is Tompkins’ second solo show. Sadly, she didn’t live to see it. But if she had, the exhibit would look different from the one Leon ultimately compiled. That’s because Tompkins refused to let the public see her real name, which is embroidered in bold stitches on many of the works here: a jumper made of men’s ties,

The visual punch of these items is an artistic K.O. that temporarily renders you speechless.

African-American improvisational quilts compose a substratum of folk textile arts that has become highly collectible — just check eBay. Or, more to the point, ask Leon: He’ll be at the Shelburne next week to deliver a talk entitled “Models in the Mind: African Prototypes and American Patchwork.” Leon has placed Tompkins’ pieces in exhibits across the country, including the 2002 Whitney Biennial. He reveals that he sold one of her quilts to the Whitney Museum of American Art for $50,000. “An Oakland museum bought one for 25 thousand,” he adds. “I took half the profit and made sure it got back to Rosie Lee.” Tompkins’ work embodies what Leon and other folk-art scholars claim is a lineage of African traditions — not just a scrappy imitation of European patterns, as others suggest. “The long-skinny strips of cloth is one of the techniques,” he points out. “And she did some shifting of scale — little teeny pieces as well as large ones.” All her patterns “were probably about making do with what

a sweater vest adorned with beads and rhinestones, a toddler-sized pair of denim pants covered with pink lettering, various wall hangings, even a potholder.

The exhibit also displays the only photograph Tompkins allowed Leon to use to represent her. It shows a yellow jacket, orange top, purple skirt, orange purse and yellow shoes — the hues of “Three Sixes” — neatly draped over a chair to symbolize the woman who would not pose, but who did, Leon assures, wear this loud outfit.

Because Tompkins died while he was preparing the Shelburne exhibition, however, Leon was free to include in the catalogue a rare actual photograph of the artist. The headshot, which he took in 1986, reveals a handsome woman with a sweet, shy smile.

It’s the enigmatic face of a divinely inspired artist who once said, when asked about a design on one of her quilts: “I’m thinking of something special when I do that. You know, something pertaining to God.” m

A Gaming Eclipse of the Sun Looking for a little fun in the sun?

Summer arrives when the weather warms up, kids replace the schoolyard with the backyard, and gamers have to decide whether to catch some solar rays or ones from the cathode tube in their TV. This year, you can have your pool parties and barbecues in the park.

For the duration of the summer, many players will shun the light and stick with “Shadowrun.” This new team-combat game won’t displace “Counter-Strike,” or even “Halo,” as a fan favorite in the genre of multiplayer first-person shooter games. But what this title lacks in timeless influence it makes up for in clever innovations and surprising twists on the same old thing.

“Shadowrun” focuses on fastpaced, guns-a-blazing action. Sit tight in a safe place, and you’ll have no fun. Engage the enemy — and stay in motion—or die.

If you’ve never experienced the joys of running around abandoned moon-bases, desert fortresses and alien colonies, the design of “Shadowrun” may come off more strange than clever.

Loosely based on a popular sciencefiction/fantasy game series that blends high-technology with arch-magic, the narrative appeals to players by neatly blending computer science with dwarves and elves. Scratching the nerd’s itch for both Tolkien and Heinlein, “Shadowrun” has a perfect point of inspiration for a new video game.

What happens when you introduce magic into a gaming genre that is defined largely by a delicate balance of futuristic weapons and armor? It works something like this: Teams of up to eight players battle either to wipe out the other team or capture an artifact — a relic that stands in for the flag in a game of Capture the Flag. Each player has three powers that they can load for the duration of the round. Powers

include — in addition to a trusty machine gun, or maybe a sword — the abilities to see through walls, teleport, soar like a flying squirrel, dematerialize into smoke or simply toss grenades.

You can also plant a Tree of Life, which regenerates damage, but works equally well for your team and your opponents. A little resurrection magic brings fellow players back from the dead.

Unfortunately, if you die, your reanimated comrade quickly loses vitality and dies as well.

These wrinkles dramatically complicate the usual rugby-like carnage of running around hurting people. For instance, say you cast the Tree of Life spell. If you don’t attend to it, the other team will use it to recharge. All things considered, a better strategy might have you loading up on weapons and ammo and blasting the other guys out of the ring of safety around their tree. Resurrection keeps your team in action, but it costs vital magic points that you may need to teleport out of harm’s way.

All these options foster a variety

of styles of play, along with an unusually cerebral approach to running around and shooting. Now winning doesn’t just require a quick trigger finger. It also demands a little thought.

Who’s It For: Played “Quake”?

Enjoyed the “Battlefield” games?

Miss “Counter-Strike”? Team-based shooter games might seem like a depraved form of cooperation to the outsider. They provide the perfect team-sports outlet for the Nintendo generation.

If You Like This, Try That: “Shadowrun”’s best quality remains its skill at playing with its genre.

What “Doom” is to “Quake,” “Prey” is to “Shadowrun.” While “Prey” never breaks with the first-person-shooter conventions established by “Doom,” it does provide an inside-out, upsidedown adventure that thrills.

Best Part: Because the game has versions that work on both the Xbox 360 and Windows Vista, now friends can play “Shadowrun” together.

Place a number in the empty boxes in such a way that each row across, each column down and each 9-box square contains all of the numbers one to nine.

theborowitzreport TB Guy Tops Bush in New Poll

I

n the latest sign of erosion for President George W. Bush’s job approval rating, a new poll released today reveals that Mr. Bush is now less popular among the American people than the so-called “TB Guy,” Atlanta attorney Andrew Speaker.

While the president’s approval numbers have been in a virtual free-fall in recent months, few political insiders expected him to be trounced by Mr. Speaker, who has been accused of exposing airline passengers to tuberculosis.

Additionally, the poll results are historic in another way, since they mark the first time that a sitting president has been deemed less popular than a quarantined disease carrier.

But at the White House today, official spokesman Tony Snow tried to put a positive spin on the numbers, saying that Mr. Speaker’s poll numbers received an artificial “bounce” as a result of all of the press coverage he has received in recent days.

“If President Bush had been quarantined for spreading tuberculosis around the world, his numbers would be right up there with the TB Guy’s,” Mr. Snow claimed.

Perhaps in an attempt to change the subject, President Bush participated in a ceremony today in which he declared victory over peace activist Cindy Sheehan.

Posing in front of a banner reading “MISSION ACCOMPLISHED” on the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln, Mr. Bush said that Ms. Sheehan’s departure from the peace movement means “I won’t have to spend this August in Crawford hiding in the barn.”

I won’t have to spend this August in Crawford hiding in the barn.

ARIES

(March 21-April 19): Don’t take your time, Aries. Move double fast and strategize from many angles, always thinking 10 steps ahead. Please don’t keep your hands clean, either. Play with the muck and roll in the mud and learn from the dirt. And don’t you dare be measured and balanced. Instead, be an intense and relentless initiator of decisive actions. One last thing: Don’t play nice and sweet. Be a holy troublemaker, a noisemaker who breaks the silence and keeps it broken.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): In what areas

of your life are you trying too hard? How might you be undoing your good intentions by grasping them so tightly that you’ve squeezed out all the juice? In what ways are you so boxed in by habitual thoughts that you’re not spontaneous any more? It’s a perfect moment to fix these problems, Taurus. To begin getting yourself in the mood, relax every muscle in your body — especially your achy-breaky desire muscles — and half-sing, half-shout an exuberant “YO!”

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Your patron

saint of the week is Beatrice Wood (1893-1998), whose association with surrealist artists and her bohemian life as a painter and actress earned her the title “The Mama of Dada.” At the age of 92, she finished her autobiography, which was entitled I Shock Myself. Your first assignment, Gemini, is to do three things in the coming week about which you’ll be able to say, “I shock myself.” Your second assignment is to imagine that you’re 92 and looking back with pride at the top ten smart things you did to shock yourself into a heightened state of awareness in the years between now and then.

he said mischievously. Can you identify a comparable situation in your life, Libra? Is there a fundamental assumption you’re loyal to even though the data that prove it are scanty? This is a good time to gather more information and reevaluate your assumptions.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): I have extensive

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): America’s

experience with writing in the dark. Every night for many years I have awoken in pitch blackness to write down my dreams. I also take notes while watching movies in theaters, scrawl poems on redeye plane flights while all the other passengers are sleeping, and jot down my meditations as I stroll in the hills after midnight. I recommend that you try this yourself, Leo. It’s prime time to peer inward and think hard . . . to sharpen your perceptions of the invisible world . . . to gather impressions from the edgy frontier where your conscious and unconscious minds overlap.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Say the following words aloud, please: “Give it to me raw!” How does it make you feel when you allow that demand to come out of your mouth?

I hope it fills you with a sense of playful power.

If you’re in alignment with cosmic influences, “Give it to me raw!” is a pithy embodiment of your proper relationship with the world. Now try these corollary statements: “I want the full blast of purity! Don’t hold anything back! Serve me up the maximum dose! I want the elixir of life, not the hors d’oeuvres! Bless me with the whole truth and nothing but! I’m in love with the flood, not the trickle!”

LIbRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): My archaeologist buddy Frank is of course a devotee of the theory of evolution, but he likes to have fun being blasphemous about some of its conclusions.

Recently he told me, for instance, that all the ancient bones that have ever been found and used to deduce the course of human evolution, from homo habilis to homo sapiens, would fit in the back of a pick-up truck.

“Pretty slim evidence for ideas that purport to explain millions of years of history, eh?”

former Poet Laureate Robert Pinsky addressed an assembly at my daughter’s high school. He read from his translation of Dante’s Inferno and took questions from students. After hearing Dante’s description of the nether regions, one boy asked Pinsky what his personal version of hell was.

The poet said that each of us creates our own hell. The fearful and negative interpretations of reality with which we infect our imaginations constitute curses that we cast on ourselves. They terrify and enslave us so thoroughly that most of the difficult outer circumstances we encounter are mild in comparison. Your next assignment, Scorpio, is to work on dissolving the hell you carry around in your own mind.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): There

used to be a store outside of Boston called Venus Envy. It sold sexy religious supplies and holy sex toys. I wish there was a place like that near you, because you’re in a phase that’s ideal for learning more about erotic spirituality. In lieu of that, here are other ways you could milk the opportunities. (1) Read the autobiography of St. Teresa of Avila, in which she gives vivid accounts of her ecstatic communion with divine beings.

(2) Invoke the wild intelligence that rises up in you when you’re infatuated with a romantic partner, then redirect that feeling toward the entire world. (3) Pray while you’re making love and make love while you pray.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “Women are much more willing to talk about both their disasters and delights than men,” says poet and workshop leader Robert Bly. I hope that you men refute his assertion in the coming week, because it’ll be a favorable time for Capricorns of all genders to spend quality time testifying and singing and wondering about the most

vivid experiences from your past. You’re liable to attract a variety of blessings if you come to new understandings about your disasters and delights. The best way to do that is to revisit them and revision them with fresh language.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Are we

being sentimentally unscientific when we refer to the heart as the seat of the soul? Or does that idea contain a truth that surpasses reductive rationalism? In A Dictionary of Symbols, J.E. Cirlot reports that in the Jewish tradition, meditation involves “speaking to one’s heart.” According to Christian tradition, the Kingdom of God resides in the heart. Hindus say the supreme god Brahma lives there, and in Islam, the heart is referred to as the throne of God. If you can get your modern prejudices out of the way, Aquarius, your next assignment is to have a sustained, intimate, heart-to-heart communion with your heart. Learn more about its secret thoughts.

Converse with it as if it were the literal source of your emotional intelligence. Proceed on the hypothesis, as French philosopher Pascal did, that “great thoughts come from the heart.”

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): “Dear Rob:

I appreciate your help in cueing us in to the mysterious workings of our unconscious minds.

I describe what you do not so much as reading the planets to predict our future. Rather, you conspire with us to expose and then overcome what we’re hiding or repressing or fearing. It’s often a daunting task, but I love it! — EverBraver Pisces.” Dear Ever-Braver: I believe the upcoming weeks will be a Golden Age in your tribe’s efforts to expose and then overcome what you’re hiding or repressing or fearing. I expect that you’ll break up the artificial dam that has been clogging up your imaginative flow, thereby unleashing a flood of creativity.

film review Luisa Williams (in real life, a Brooklyn video-store clerk) turns in a transfixing performance. The script has relatively little dialogue, but she communicates volumes with her eyes.

The character she plays has virtually no context. She arrives by bus from the West Coast and is driven to a nondescript New Jersey motel where she awaits instructions from her handlers.

In time, a group of hooded men — apparently also American — comes to oversee her programming. They grill her relentlessly on the rules she must follow (“If I think that I’ve been noticed or there’s a small chance that I may be caught, I must execute the plan immediately even if there is no one nearby”). They force her to recite over and over the fake name, birth date and address they’ve supplied. They take away much of her cash and all of her credit cards. Should she have second thoughts when the time comes, getting out of town won’t really be a viable option.

The first half of the movie concludes with the protagonist trying on a backpack that has been custommade for her. “It’s about 50 pounds,” she’s informed.

“Is it too heavy?”

“No, you can put in more nails.”

The film’s second half follows Williams as she makes her way on foot from Port Authority to Times Square. “Today is the day of our meeting,” she silently notes, conducting a running one-way conversation with her god. As she nears the destination, fear and doubt threaten to overwhelm her. She wets herself

Day Night Day Night HHHH

F WOMAN ON THE VERGE Luisa Williams is transfixing in Loktev’s highly charged tale of an American terrorist.

or 94 mesmerizing minutes of minimalist narrative, Russian-born filmmaker Julia Loktev pushes post9/11 buttons. The result is a masterfully crafted exercise in dread unlike anything you’re likely to have seen before. If you’ve seen Paradise Now, you may think you’ve been down this road — but believe me, Day Night Day Night takes the viewer down an altogether different dead-end street.

Like Hany Abu-Assad’s 2005 film, Loktev’s concerns the modern-day phenomenon of the suicide bomber. However, where the former movie offered a study of two Palestinian men and rooted their motivation in the geopolitical history of the region, Day Night Day Night follows a nameless young American woman as she prepares to make a bloody sacrifice in the middle of Times Square.

The TV Set HHHH

F INNER TUBE We learn how good ideas become bad TV shows in Jake Kasdan’s clever, under-seen indie.

ace it, the title of The TV Set — a triple pun on the appliance, the place where television shows are made, and the clique of people who make them — is kind of lame. It promises a stagy, dated workplace comedy, à la Desk Set, with some behind-the-scenes-at-theboob-tube satire thrown in.

But there are worse things than a sort-of-lame title. In one of the movie’s funniest throwaway scenes, a market researcher tests the working title of a TV sitcom on a Joe Schmo in the mall. A string of proposed names makes Joe roll his eyes in boredom — including the one chosen by Mike (David Duchovny), the pilot’s creator. But when the clipboard lady suggests “Call Me Crazy,” his eyes light up, clearly in anticipation of demented wackiness — “I’d watch that!” So TV history is born.

Never mind that the show in question, about a lawyer who returns home after his brother’s suicide, is more on the quirky than the wacky side. The network president (Sigourney Weaver, who just happens to be the daughter of a real-life network president) is out to change that. If she gets her way, the hero’s brother will be resurrected — since, as she points out, “Suicide is depressing to, like, 82 percent of everybody.”

Writer Mike, who based the show on his life, doesn’t want to see it vanish into the black hole of mediocrity. He watches in despair as the network nixes his choice of a nebbishy, bearded thespian — a ringer for the creator himself — and casts a tall, handsome dolt (the very funny Fran Kranz). But Mike has a growing family to support, and this is his one shot at getting

his vision into your living room. So he’s diplomatic with Weaver, a proud philistine whose biggest triumph is a reality show called “Slut Wars.”

This satire has easy targets, to say the least. But writer-director Jake Kasdan (son of veteran screenwriter Lawrence Kasdan) doesn’t take many potshots.

His brand of comedy is deadpan “found” humor, presented in an almost mockumentary style. Kasdan knows television — he directed several episodes of the painfully realistic high school comedy “Freaks and Geeks,” one of the best shows ever to face early cancellation. (A better-known “Freaks” alum is Judd

and rushes into a restaurant bathroom to clean up.

It’s the first of several stages in her mission where the viewer is given reason to hope she’ll change her mind.

Moments later, having collected herself, she’s back on the crowded thoroughfare.

The director does a very clever thing. She shoots the woman’s death march on digital video amid throngs of ordinary New Yorkers. They have no more idea they’re in a movie about a suicide bomber than the story’s masses have that they’re in imminent danger of being blown to bits. The fact that these are real people and not movie extras makes the prospect of the murderous act all the more horrific. If your knuckles aren’t white by the final sequence, the person sitting next to you should definitely check you for a pulse.

Day Night Day Night is filled with fleeting images of and references to many of our age’s most distasteful new flashpoints: terrorist cells, martyr videos, improvised explosive devices, anti-American feeling, religious fanaticism and the like. Loktev never provides more than the sketchiest of hints about who these people are and why they’re doing what they’re doing.

Sadly, she doesn’t need to. It’s all too easy at this point for the viewer to fill in the blanks.

It’s difficult to classify this film. It feels like a documentary but isn’t one. Is it a drama? I don’t know that you can call it one when characters are stripped of personality, dialogue is all but nonexistent, and there isn’t so much a central conflict as a looming atrocity. I suppose the genre it’s closest to is horror. Viewed in that light, it is a new and highly effective species. As savage and deranged as the villains may be in a film like Hostel: Part II, they’re less terrifying than this picture’s anonymous young American. When you walk out of the theater and onto the street, you can rest assured you’ve left conventional cinematic sadists behind. But she could be walking right next to you.

RICK KISONAK

Apatow, currently raking it in with Knocked Up, who executive produced The TV Set.) Kasdan shows us in detail how a pilot is made and marketed, from casting to focus-group screenings to the glitzy showcase for potential advertisers in New York. It’s a grueling process from which everybody wants something different: The network president sees dollar signs, the crew is obsessed with union regulations, the slimmed-down starlet struggles to change her image “from quirky to hot,” and the star just wants to get in her pants.

Nobody is a villain, though Weaver’s network president comes close. Nobody’s a hero, either. Unlike Aaron Sorkin, who painted himself as a misunderstood TV genius in last season’s “Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip,” Kasdan makes Mike smart and decent, but also self-absorbed and a bit whiny. (Duchovny, who’s aged from nerdy hunk to nerdy mensch, is a great choice for this role.) As if to show the suits aren’t all bad, Kasdan tosses in the character of a principled BBC exec (Ioan Gruffudd) who’s been recruited by Weaver to give the network “that class thing.”

Fans of Brit com will recognize his wife as Lucy Davis from the original version of “The Office.”

It’s just another reason why you may appreciate this thoughtful little comedy more if you haven’t killed your television. Unlike Paddy Chayefsky’s classic Network, The TV Set is a send-up of TV for people who actually like TV — they just don’t like most of the crap that makes it to air.

< food> say (artisan) Cheese Vermontâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jeff Roberts spreads the word on artisan cheese with an ambitious new Atlas by suzanne podhaizer

V

ermont has more artisan cheese makers per capita than any other state, and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re churning out cheddar, chèvre and Camembert like nobodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s business. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re head and shoulders above everybody else,â&#x20AC;? says Jeff Roberts â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the Montpelier man New York Times food critic Marion Burros recently described as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;walking encyclopedia of American cheeses.â&#x20AC;?

Robertsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Atlas of American Artisan Cheese, published this month by Chelsea Green, reveals the hand-crafted dairy trend is not confined to Vermont. The book represents the first effort by a foodie to chronicle every hand-made cheese source in the country. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He may have set out to provide restaurateurs, shops and cheese lovers with an indispensable reference,â&#x20AC;? Burros writes of Roberts, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but in the process he created an exciting new kind of travel guide.â&#x20AC;?

Not for the low-fat set. The book lists 345 different producers in 45 states â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Roberts didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t locate any artisan cheese in Wyoming, Arkansas, Florida or the Dakotas. According to the book, California has the greatest number of artisan cheese makers, followed by New York and Vermont.

How does Roberts define â&#x20AC;&#x153;artisanâ&#x20AC;?? For him, the size of the operation matters less than the methodology. If a given cheese is made primarily by hand, even at a dairy that uses mechanized tools for other cheeses, it counts. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how Cabotâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s traditional and cloth-bound cheddars managed to make the grade. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have no issue with using mechanical stirrers,â&#x20AC;? Roberts explains in an interview at Gesine Confectionary in Montpelier. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There

Jeff Roberts may have set out to provide restaurateurs, shops and cheese lovers with an indispensable reference, but in the process he created an exciting new kind of travel guide.

Marion burros, NEW YORK TIMES Food CriTiC

are some people who have a problem with that.â&#x20AC;? He adds, thoughtfully, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cheesemaking is backbreaking work.â&#x20AC;?

Visiting hundreds of cheesemakers in less than a year would have been quite an endurance test, too. But Roberts didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t rack up frequent flyer miles for the book: The voyage he took in researching the 436-page, soft-cover volume was mostly virtual. Visiting all of the farms would have taken years, he points out, chuckling. Instead, Roberts relied on the Internet, which he likens to â&#x20AC;&#x153;a garbage can . . . People just keep putting things into it.â&#x20AC;?

How did Roberts ensure the info would be accurate? He sent a questionnaire to each cheese producer via email or snail mail.

When he needed extra detail for an evocative description of a herd of sheep or a dank cheese cave, he made a phone call.

!02 YEAR FIXED RATE

The resulting listings, which donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t attempt to be critical or evaluative, are organized by region, moving from east to west, then alphabetically by state and producer. If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Central Plainsâ&#x20AC;? from the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mountain West,â&#x20AC;? flipping through the guide can be a bit laborious. The geographically challenged may need to make frequent visits to the table of contents.

In every other way, though, the book is user-friendly, with symbols indicating the types of animals milked at a given dairy â&#x20AC;&#x201D; mostly cows, goats and sheep, with the occasional water buffalo â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and distinctions such as whether cheeses are organic or made from raw milk. Pertinent details about each producer are highlighted for easy reading.

The alpha index by cheese maker will come in handy at the grocery store.

Because of Robertsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; reliance on â&#x20AC;&#x153;self-reporting,â&#x20AC;? readers will find variable amounts of information in the listings. For example, Dancing Lamb Farm and Sheep Dairy in Earlton, New York, gets a mere 66 words and no photograph. All the essential info is there, however, concerning the farmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Icelandic sheepâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s milk cheese. The makers claim it tastes of â&#x20AC;&#x153;warm meadows, clover and wild thyme.â&#x20AC;?

By contrast, the write-up on Janine and John Putnam, of Thistle Hill Farm in North Pomfret, boasts five photographs and a narrative about how the Putnams made the transition from cases and writs â&#x20AC;&#x201D; they were both trained as attorneys â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to curds and whey. They make a winning case for their nutty Tarentaise, which has garnered awards in several international cheese competitions. >> 0 B

Like the Putnams, Roberts didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t choose cheese as his first career. After a stint as a Navy meteorologist, he worked at the University of Pennsylvaniaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Morris Arboretum and the vet school, then came north in the mid-1990s to take a job with the Vermont Land Trust. Slowly, his life got cheesier. In 2000, Roberts joined the American Cheese Society and helped Shelburne Farms organize a program called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pasture to Palate: The Art of Cheese Making.â&#x20AC;? So many enthusiasts signed up for the course that they had to add an additional section.

More dairy-related duties followed. In 2001, Roberts helped assemble Europeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest-ever tasting of American cheeses at a Slow Food gathering in Italy. In the aftermath of September 11, which occurred just 10 days prior to the event, Roberts and Co. decided to charge a small amount for samples and donate the money to a relief fund. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The word had gone out to all the Italian papers,â&#x20AC;? relates Roberts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was the most emotional public thing Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever seen . . .

People were 10 to 12 deep; they were throwing money at us.â&#x20AC;?

In 2003, Roberts co-founded UVMâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Vermont Institute for Artisan Cheese, using the worldrenowned wine school at UC Davis as a model. The VIAC aims to provide resources to aspiring and established cheese producers.

In the acknowledgment segment of the Atlas, Roberts describes it as â&#x20AC;&#x153;the first comprehensive center devoted to education, research and service for artisan cheese makers.â&#x20AC;?

With all these qualifications, Roberts was cut out for creating a cheese atlas. But his most important asset may be his steadfast love of the product. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I eat cheese every day. My refrigerator probably has a minimum of one to two dozen cheeses at a time,â&#x20AC;? he offers. Luckily, his wifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a cheese fan, too.

Roberts excels at gathering information useful to consumers, such as the varieties of cheese offered at each creamery and where to buy them. But, just as important, he knows how to spin a yarn. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My inspiration was first that I wanted to tell stories,â&#x20AC;? he explains. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because I like to eat, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m selfish about where the food comes from, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to support the people who enrich my life . . . Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re great producers, and this is how I feel I can give something back to them.â&#x20AC;?

Robertsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; affection for agricultural innovators and their hardscrabble way of life comes through in his portrait of Nancy Coonridge of Pie Town, New Mexico, and her flock of wandering Alpine, Nubian and LaMancha goats. In just three paragraphs, Roberts paints a picture of Coonridgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s solar-powered dairy and describes the wild plants, such as mountain mahogany and wild buckwheat, on which her flock feeds. He writes, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The resulting milk is a cornucopia of

a Mindful Mouthful CAN’T GET ENOUGH? IT’S PSYCHOLOGICAL

Everyone knows that when you’re hungry, your eyes are bigger than your stomach. brian Wansink offers scientific proof in his 2006 Bantam book Mindless Eating: Why We Eat More Than We Think.

Last week Wansink, a professor of consumer behavior at Cornell University, presented some of his research to a well-heeled group at shelburne Farms. Only seven of the 60 or so listeners were men.

Wansink’s shtick? American eaters are victimized by three myths: 1) “The size of plates and bowls doesn’t influence how much I eat”; 2) “I know when I’m full”; and 3) “I know what I like to eat.” In a series of outlandish experiments conducted over the past 21 years, he has lured unsuspecting gobblers into gluttony to prove his point. For those who want to mend their munchy ways, he suggests “reconstructing” food “environments” — i.e., move the damn M&Ms off the corner of your desk, replace your short-’n’-wide glasses with tall-’n’-skinny ones, etcetera.

Forty-seven-year-old Wansink — who weighs 175 pounds — understands that presentation is key. His talk was full of super-cheesy, crowdpleasing one-liners that seemed better suited to a Catskills nightclub than the elegant Shelburne Farms Coach Barn.

Nonetheless, the stale humor appeared to do the trick: When an emcee announced at evening’s end, “Please help yourselves to the bread, cheese and cider,” almost no one did.

More Variety for Vegetarians NEW FOOD STAND FINDS FANS IN BURLINGTON

PhoTo: suZAnne PoDhAIZeR

Tired of rubbery and tasteless “meat substitutes”?

FolkFoods, one of the burlington Farmers’ Market’s hot new properties, has the answer: flavorful, locally made veggie breakfast patties

and “crumbles.” To add extra zest to the mix, co-owners Jason Frishman and shana Witkin also sell a spicy concoction called “master sauce.”

Explanation: Fans think the sauce is so versatile, it can be used for pretty much anything.

Although Frishman is a self-described “conscious carnivore,” cooking for the meat-free is one of his passions; his wife Witkin sticks with seafood.

During a stint at Veggie Planet in Cambridge, Massachusetts, Frishman acquired the necessary cooking skills. How does he test his recipes? “If my diehard meat-eating friends finish something and

don’t say, ‘That would be better with steak,’ I keep the recipe,” he explains.

In addition to offering samples of the products they carry, the duo also whips up a selection of tasty treats for hungry market-goers. The veggie crumble gets an infusion of taco seasoning for their “breakfast wrap.” The bits are rolled in a flour tortilla with egg, cheddar, salsa and black beans. Another filling fave is “the Ruby,” a vegetarian twist on a Reuben. The savory griddle sandwich, served on toasty-golden Klinger’s bread, perfectly pairs a FolkFoods veggie patty with local sauerkraut, cheddar and apples. A touch of master sauce-enhanced dressing gives it some kick.

The twosome do their R&D at the Vermont Food Venture Center in Fairfax, and they plan to add new items to their product line as soon as they “get some breathing room.” Currently, they both work nearly full-time at other jobs. Frishman is a psychology fellow at Fletcher Allen, while Witkin works at penny Cluse Café.

Crumbs and events Burlington’s newest chain pizza joint, papa John’s, doesn’t have a disco ball hanging in the “dining room.”

But that didn’t stop 20 enthusiasts of the now-defunct 135 Pearl, which once occupied the spot, from taking it over last weekend to “celebrate” the anniversary of the gay nightclub’s demise. The chipper crew reportedly ordered $114 worth of breadsticks and cheese sticks, and a few extra-energetic people got in trouble for dancing on the chairs. Luckily, the PJ’s crew took all that pride in stride . . . Holy crêpe! Burlington’s skinny pancake plans to “quietly open its doors” this Saturday, according to co-owner benjy adler. We can’t wait much longer! . . . In other culinary cart news, hungry shoppers are lining up to get a taste of authentic brotherly love Cheese steaks from Burlington’s freshest vendor. Philly native owen price, who’s “been cheffin’ in this town for 10 years” at places such as the Waiting Room, Five Spice and squares in Vergennes, was convinced B-town needed an infusion of Cheez Whiz. He turned that vision into a business. Look for the weekold cart on the corner of Church and Bank streets . . . Catch two buzzes for the price of one at the South End Arts + Business Association’s annual meeting. In addition to auctioning off hip and sustainable canvas grocery bags decorated by local artists, SEABA will offer a few inspired chocolate and wine pairings, thanks to the creative folks at Vermont Wine Merchants and lake Champlain Chocolates.

Pairings will cost $3 each or four for $10 . . .

“Frankenfoods” sound like something from a sci-fi flick. They star in an eye-opening documentary, The Future of Food, showing Friday at on the rise bakery’s new location in Richmond. The GMO movie is the first in a series of weekly film nights organized by Joe o’brien of Film Buzz, the local video store, and bakery owners ben bush and raechel barone . . . Too hot to cook? Not for Williston-based food writer Molly stevens. On Sunday night, she’ll be at a private home in Woodstock for a cooking class and dinner reception based on her James Beard Award-winning cookbook, All About Braising: The Art of Uncomplicated Cooking. For $100, you can slave over the stove with Stevens. The sweat-free option, a $75 sit-down dinner, both benefit the Vermont Fresh network.

h, Vermont in the spring. Drive along any river in the state and you’re bound to see an angler out there, tempting a trout lurking in the riffling water. On lakes, fishermen float motionless in flat-hulled boats with spinning reels, hoping for a rowdy small-mouth bass or a feisty, prehistoric-looking northern pike. The water is naked and clear, hiding nothing.

had the misfortune of being a dumping area for an old tannery in Pownal and an electrical components manufacturer in North Adams, Massachusetts.

Meanwhile, eating one’s catch is still a local tradition. So just how dangerous is it?

Mercury is a naturally occurring metal in soils and waters.

The problem for Vermont and other eastern states is that industrial smokestacks in the Midwest belch it out, the jet stream carries it eastward, and

in the 1970s, they were used primarily as cooling and insulating fluids for industrial transformers, and they have a nasty reputation for being carcinogenic. Unfortunately, they also have a tendency to stick around and hence are known as “persistent organic pollutants.” In other words, PCBs that were dumped into Lake Champlain when the Village People were hot are still making the rounds among fledgling lake trout and walleye.

Sound scary? It is. But there

But appearances can be deceiving. The Vermont Department of Fish and Wildlife regularly puts out a “fish alert” that lists the locations and types of fish that have been found to contain unsafe levels of hazardous substances. Some Vermont bodies of water are so polluted with mercury and PCBs that the Vermont Department of Health’s Fish Alert says it’s unsafe to eat any quantity of fish caught there.

One such tainted waterway is the Hoosic River, in the southwestern part of the state, which

the rain deposits it in rivers and lakes, where it turns into a toxin called methylmercury. Then it “bioaccumulates,” which means that it concentrates as it climbs the food chain from algae to small fish to bigger fish to — if one is so inclined — the dinner table. When consumed in high quantities, methylmercury can cause a wide range of health problems, from skin rashes to cerebral palsy, coma and death.

PCBs — short for polychlorinated biphenyls — are no less savory. Before they were banned

are reasons to be encouraged, because the state’s rivers, streams and lakes are arguably cleaner now than they have been since pre-industrial times. Stormwater regulations are reducing detrimental farm runoff, wastewater regulations have put an end to “straight-piping” human waste into the backyard brook, and Vermont has outlawed many products that contain mercury.

Most of the waters in Vermont have less restrictive advisories than the Hoosic River, or none at all.

Probably not. Reilly McCue, a fishing guide at Spikehorn Ridge in Washington, says he likes to pan-fry fresh brook trout — no need to filet them.

Bob Shannon, the head guide at the Fly Rod Shop in Stowe, has cooked wild brook trout streamside for his clients. Such al fresco dining is marked by its simplicity: tin foil, olive oil, lemon, garlic and a campfire are all that’s required. Since trout is a sweet-tasting fish, it goes well with spicy companions such as mustard greens and cayenne.

pregnant women, mothers who are breastfeeding and women of childbearing age, fish intake is important because it supplies DHA, a specific omega-3 fatty acid that is beneficial for the brain development of infants.”

All fish, however, are not created equal, and some are known to contain higher levels of mercury, such as shark, swordfish, king mackerel and golden bass.

JAMA notes that one can make the “health benefits of eating fish greatly outweigh the potential risks” by keeping that list in mind and heeding the special fish advisories. Furthermore, since PCBs congregate in fatty tissue, Chipman says that avoiding the belly of the fish — the fattest part — and sticking to the lean upper half will reduce

e

ologist with the Vermont Department of Fish and Wildlife, urges people to read the Vermont Fish Alert, which is also available at the Department of Health website. But it’s clear that he regards mercury and PCBs in fish as just one of life’s many risks. If a person eats more fish than the health department recommends, that doesn’t mean he or she will get sick. “There is an elevated risk of health problems” from eating fish with mercury, Chipman explains, “just like there’s a risk of getting hit by a bus when you walk across the street.”

Ed Schirmer, a fishing guide and owner of Schirmer’s Fly Shop in South Burlington, advises: “I wouldn’t hesitate to eat a nice rainbow trout dinner, but I wouldn’t do it too often.”

Frequency of consumption is the Vermont Fish Alert’s main concern. Women of childbearing age, especially pregnant women, women planning to get pregnant and breastfeeding mothers, need to be extra careful, as mercury may harm an unborn baby’s or young child’s developing nervous system.

Children 6 and under, too, should abstain from eating walleye of any size and Lake Champlain lake trout larger than 25 inches. In general, because of bioaccumulation, “larger fish tend to have a higher level of contaminants,” says Chipman.

Enthusiasts of fresh-caught finned fare may want more info. The Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission has a special website devoted to assigning the mercury risk its place among the throngs of everyday hazards. It describes a typical day in the life of an angler: She gets out of bed, walks down the stairs, makes breakfast in the kitchen, drives to the river, wades in the water, has a beer at lunch, and eats her catch for dinner. In that prosaic list, eating the fish is “probably one of the least risky things the angler did all day.” According to this website authored by unabashed fish lovers, the bottom line on mercury is that “no one should be afraid to eat their catch in moderation. Fishing is a safe sport and consuming fresh fish is a healthy thing to do.”

So healthy, in fact, that “Many health experts believe that the positive health benefits of eating fish may outweigh the potential risks of negative effects,” notes Chipman. The Journal of the American Medical Association tends to agree. It advises that fish is a good source of protein, selenium and omega-3 fatty acids, a special type of fat that can help lower blood pressure and heart rate, and improve cardiovascular health. Indeed, JAMA reveals that the very people most vulnerable to mercury risk may need fish for other reasons: “For

the risk of ingesting the pollutant. Mercury, by contrast, distributes itself evenly throughout the fish and can only be limited by reducing total intake.

Soon people won’t have to worry about memorizing the Fish Advisory for their trips to the seafood section of the grocery store. State Toxicologist Bill Bress says Vermont will be the first state in the Northeast to post the alert in stores, probably accompanied by a color poster, in multiple languages, with accurate drawings of fish that may contain mercury.

Will the signage stop eager anglers from sampling the fruits of the state’s aquatic bounty?

ally gets the fish from individual ice fisherman a day or two after they’re caught. “We hand-bread them, deep fry them, and serve them throughout the winter.”

What about the fish advisories? “We’ve never had any problems with it, so I guess we’ll just stick with tradition,” Virg says. Part of that tradition is the Wayside’s homemade tartar sauce, a natural match for perch.

“They taste just like a fresher type of haddock — sweet and juicy,” Virg notes. “We can’t get enough of them.” > To find this information online, visit: www.healthvermont.gov/ enviro/fish_alert/fish_alert.aspx

Danny C., Billy B. and Big Al have been serving up steaminâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; hot plates of boot-scootinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; honky-tonk and Western swing for so long, some folks might forget that, in addition to being three of the nicest guys around, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re also one of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s finest vintage-country bands. That wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen again, if their spectacular new disc Redâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Place is any indication.

sound bites

BY DAN BOLLES

BUSTIN’ A RE-CAP

Well, folks, another Jazz Fest has come and gone and, honestly, it was great. With such a bewildering breadth of world-class music to choose from, it was difficult to know just what to see. Fortunately, I have the luxury of dispatching my Jazz Mafia minions to shake down — metaphorically, of course — our fair city, freeing me up to keep tabs on the rest of the goings-on about town. Man, everyone should have minions. But I digress. Let’s talk about live music.

Of all of the lines I’ve written in these esteemed pages over the last month, none have raised more eyebrows than my self-proclaimed “man-crush” on R&B singer Ryan Shaw. As I sauntered into Nectar’s last Wednesday evening, I encountered a co-worker who, with a devilish grin across her lips, inquired about my adoration for the 26-year-old soul man. Blushing, I confessed that it was true. She put her arm around me in a consoling fashion, and said, “It’s OK, Dan. I have a man-crush on Ryan Shaw, too, and I’m a lesbian.” I felt much better.

The show was stunning. Shaw is an electrifying performer, even without a backing band — he opened the show with a jaw-dropping a cappella number. When the band did join in, the close-to-capacity crowd was treated to the most authentic soul music this side of Sam Cooke.

I’m guessing I was the youngest person in the bar by about 25 years, which, in retrospect, probably makes sense; many of these people were my age when the first wave of soul was sweeping the country. Shaw closed the show with his signature hit, “Do The 45.” I’m not exactly sure what “The 45” is supposed to look like, but I’m going out on a limb to say that whatever dance the Subaru Outback-set was doing wasn’t it. Watching the crowd’s awkward gyrations, I was reminded of the off-balance bouncing fits that grip toddlers when they hear the “Spongebob Squarepants” theme song — but in an endearing sort of way.

While we’re discussing the rhythmically challenged, allow me to offer some advice. When a performer implores his crowd to clap along — as Shaw did on many occasions that night — by all means do, but only if you can clap in time. Ninety percent of popular American music is written in 4/4-time, which means that the accented beats — i.e., where you should clap — fall on the second and fourth beats of each measure. It goes like this: one-CLAP-three-CLAP. And so on. Got it?

Good. Next week, we’ll graduate to 3/4 time, but practice that for now.

There were plenty of Subarus at Higher Ground on Friday night.

The majority were presumably owned by those with tickets to see Appalachian folkie Iris Dement in the Ballroom, though I’m sure more than a few were borrowed by teenagers checking out Brooklynbased indie-rockers The Urgency, in the Showcase Lounge.

BOYS STARLINE RHYTHM L MULLINS (7PM),

Got music news? Email Dan Bolles at dan@sevendaysvt.com.

I was there for the former, though I’m told the latter was excellent as well. Dement is a captivating songwriter with a unique voice and a charmingly geeky stage presence. Imagine if Emmylou Harris mated with Julia Sweeney’s androgynous “Saturday Night Live” character Pat, and you might have a sense of what I mean.

Hack-ish comparisons aside, the seated show was achingly beautiful.

Saturday night is Jazz Fest’s main event and, this year, they pulled out all the stops. My evening began at the Waterfront Tent with ska originators The Skatalites.

As I’m a former “rude boy,” this show was the highlight of the festival for me. It’s been a while since I’ve skanked full-stop, but I was surprised by how easily it all came back. Then again, the dance really isn’t much more than running in place.

THE SKATALITES Following The Skatalites was the legendary Lee “Scratch” Perry, who, while still a musical force, is old. And crazy. And old. His backing band, Dub Is a Weapon, does the droning reggae thing to perfection, providing an ideal backdrop for Perry to ramble incoherently in heavy patois. Worse, he didn’t scratch. The dude invented turntable scratching. His freaking name is “Scratch.” Throw us a bone, dude.

From the waterfront, I followed the crowd up the hill to the Block Party on Church Street. Typically, local brewmeisters Magic Hat fill the pedestrian mall with jammy fare for late-night revelers. This year they switched gears and stocked up on indie-rock. Local artrockers Swale and math-rock — you read that right, math-rock — outfit The Mathematicians were this year’s highlights. Sure, it’s not jazz, but it was refreshing and very well received. In particular, The Mathematicians had the CCCOME? most raucous crowd I’ve seen on Church Street since The Jazz Guys were “banned for life,” a couple of years ago.

Speaking of The Jazz Guys, I finished my evening at the Radio Bean, where the band was playing a tune-up gig and unveiling a slew of new songs. I’m pretty sure it was great, but by that point in the night, I’d consumed an awful lot of . . . um, jazz. Fuzzy recollections notwithstanding, we’ll be hearing a lot more from The Jazz Guys in coming weeks, so stay tuned.

Congrats to the Discover Jazz folks on yet another job well done, and to all the other local venues for providing quality alternatives.

THURSDAY 6/14

CCCOME? AGAIN? Last summer, local countrified super-group Ramble Dove made big waves at the Bonnaroo festival. This year, the country’s most prestigious and eclectic festival will again have a bit of Burlington flair as our own vaudevillian-harmonicore heroes Cccome? bring their uniquely bohemian theatrics to Tennessee.

As with nearly everything the band does, their Bonnaroo experience will not be of the standard variety. The group is performing “The (Damn Everything But the) Circus,” a traveling post-apocalyptic sideshow that will patrol the festival grounds and stage impromptu performances in unlikely spots. From the beer tent to the port-a-potty lines, festival-goers will be treated to Cccome?’s bizarre musical blend wherever they roam. If you go, avoid the brown acid when you see them cccoming.

FESTIVUS FOR THE REST OF US If you can’t go to Bonnaroo and are jonesing for a festival fix, The Langdon Street Café in Montpelier has got you covered. This Saturday, there will be a special screening of concert footage from last summer’s Northeast Kingdom Music Festival. The film’s original showing packed the artsy café, so event organizers thought it a good idea to do it all again. Lucky us. While you’re there, reserve your tickets for this year’s festival, which is August 3 and 4 in East Albany.

The band gets its bestial freak on at Club Metronome this Thursday with Montréal’s favorite cracked-out post-punkers Manymental Mistakes and Burlington’s own trippy trio, Nosebleed Island.

reviewthis WAGTAIL, ONE CLEAR MOMENT

STARLINE RHYTHM BOYS, RED’S PLACE

(CD, self-produced)

(Cow Island Music, CD)

Like many Starline Rhythm Boys fans, I’ve been waiting for their new record for what seems like forever. After the stunning onetwo punch of Better Luck Is a Barroom Away and Honky Tonk Livin’ (released in 2000 and ’02, respectively), Vermont’s kings of cool return with Red’s Place, their first effort for Boston-based Americana label Cow Island Music.

According to lead vocalist/rhythm guitarist Danny Coane, the Boys had intended to put something out sooner, but illness and a jam-packed performance schedule got in the way. They finally settled into Little Castle Studio in South Starksboro in May 2005, where they captured the disc’s 16 tunes on old-fashioned, 1-inch tape.

Well, Red’s Place was well worth the wait. Anyone who has seen SRB live can attest to the trio’s rollicking stage show, but they also shine on record. Upright bassist/backing vocalist and chief songwriter Billy Bratcher brings the bounce, lead guitarist/vocalist Big Al Lemery tenders the twang, and Coane keeps things jumpin’ with rock-solid acoustic rhythms and his outsized personality.

SRB’s tunes recall the days before Elvis Presley’s amphetamine-fueled appetite gobbled up r&b and country & western and shat out rock ’n’ roll. Which is to say, it’s about as retro as you can get while still using electricity.

Red’s Place finds the Boys easing up on the rockabilly in favor of western swing. Each tune is an amiable blend of back-porch pickin’ and juke-joint showmanship — perfect for boozing, bellyaching and boogying.

Somehow it all sounds effortless, as if they’d been cryogenically frozen in 1945 and thawed out to save humankind. Or at least keep music honest.

I’m psyched that my all-time favorite Starline tune, “Drunk Tank,” made it to the album. The song exemplifies everything I love about the band: humor, heart and ace musicianship. “I just went downtown / I heard my favorite band / I was rockin’ the night away / Life was grand / When I felt a little woozy / I stepped out to get air / Stumblin’ back to the front door / They wouldn’t let me in there,” Big Al sings.

Confession time: This happened to me last weekend at Nectar’s. Well, not the drunk-tank part.

Other standouts include the heartfelt “The Family Farm,” the saucy “No Gal Cooks Like Mine” and the playfully vengeful “The Joke’s On You.” Ultimately, every tune on this CD is a gem. Equally excellent is the 10-page booklet featuring lyrics, dedications and an endorsement from rockabilly legend Deke Dickerson. Starline Rhythm Boys never do anything half-ass, and Red’s Place is no exception.

CASEY REA-HUNTER

Vermont-based Wagtail has been together less than a year but has already developed a seasoned, “signature” sound — a solid rhythmic groove supplied by guitar and percussion instruments, along with two utterly different female vocalists. Every band member brings talent and personality to the party. Susannah Blachly is a stylin’ fiddler who swings effortlessly from high-lonesome Blue Ridge drone to Irish jig. Kristina Stykos is an able guitarist in her solo work and demonstrates that here as well, but she also sails on mandolin. Wagtail’s main guitarist is George White, and he also plays octave mandolin and sings. Percussionist Carter Stowell taps out everything from djembe to marvelous tabla surprises on some of the Celtic instrumentals — a welcome texture that is still relatively rare in North American acoustic music.

On their first ensemble CD, entitled One Clear Moment, White and Stowell lay down a solid foundation: White’s dead-on rhythm sense and percussive style complements Stowell’s always-interesting backbeat. For Stykos, it’s all shimmering rhythmic melody lines on mando — no bluegrass chop chords here. And then there are the vocals. White’s soulful, steady voice is just right for country-blues numbers like the recording’s title track, a White original. Both women have unique singing styles, and when Blachly’s purr meets Stykos’ quaver, it sounds like what happens on your tongue when you taste salted almonds enrobed in chocolate.

Delicious!

Wagtail’s choice of music — a mix of recent originals and traditional covers, some instrumental only — is very eclectic: from venerable Francis Child ballads (“House Carpenter”), to Stykos’ dark, introspective compositions about her state of mind, or life (“River Go By” and “Dirt Is the Color”); and Blachly’s poppy, catchy originals (“Let the Light In,” “When the Sun Goes Down” and “Honey Man”).

The instrumental tracks on One Clear Moment are all played with style and taste, but to me they almost felt like interruptions of the fine vocal numbers. There’s so much great raw material here that Wagtail could have recorded one vocal disc and one instrumental, both stellar. Maybe they should have.

Recording-wise, One Clear Moment is truly homemade — taped and edited at Stykos’ home studio in Chelsea — and the sound is clean and pure. The disc sounds even better with repeated listenings. See what Wagtail sounds like live this Saturday, June 16, at their CD release party at Positive Pie II in Montpelier.

Sad music makes people happy. Clem Snideâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2000 release, Your

Favorite Music, was a quirky look into that enigmatic phenomenon. It was recorded well before Portland, Oregon, duo

Horse Feathers

came into existence, but it otherwise could easily have been written for â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or about â&#x20AC;&#x201D; them.

Hem-style chamber-folk arrangements meet darkly poetic incantations worthy of Nick Drake, creating a mood that is both beautifully despairing and joyously uplifting. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a neat trick. Horse Feathers bring their brooding blend of melancholia to The Skinny Pancake this Tuesday with opener Austin Sirch for the venueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inaugural live performance.

If I weren’t a realtor, I would be a… sports commentator for ESPN. Think Hazel Mae on NESN. my favorite lunch place is... all the Burlington restaurants that purchase from my husband at US Foodservice.

If I picked one, it could cause a riot!

meg mcgOvern The best part about spring is... less layers!

If I had $10.99 to spend, I would buy… sushi for lunch.

If I had a private jet I would… travel and help my husband lose his fear of flying.

Before I was a realtor one of my interesting jobs was... modeling long underwear for Orvis.

One thing people are surprised to find out about me... I just turned 40! OK, now everybody knows.

On a Sunday morning you will most likely find me... gardening in warmer weather, skiing in winter.

my most prized possessions are... my two wonderful, energetic boys, Brendan & Luke.

my weirdest superstition or paranoia is… not having any?

musical shares In mid-June, when the Green Mountains live up to their name, composer and choral director Robert De Cormier lures more than 150 singers to Stowe for the Vermont International Choral Festival. Six groups from Indiana, Maryland, Texas and other far-flung regions, including Trinidad and Tobago, gig out or offer open rehearsals separately over the weekend. On Saturday night, a huge outdoor concert pours vocal power into nine De Cormier arrangements of choral faves, including “Oh Susannah” and “Let Me Fly.” Picnic-packing early birds can nosh and nestle two hours before facing the music at the Trapp Family Lodge. Can’t make it up the mountain? On Sunday morning, several choirs sing at area churches before flying home.

scene@ TRUNK SHOW AT THE GREEN CLOSET PHOTO: MATTHEW THORSEN

WINOOSKI, THURSDAY, JUNE 7, 7-9 P.M.

A fashion trunk show at the Green Closet has the buzz of an art opening. I was barely in the door when owner Xmas Maxon-Alley descended and offered me a glass of wine. Not to mention cheese, crackers and dried cherries. Eighties music played from somewhere.

The goldenrod-colored walls were artfully lined with a mix of vintage and indie-designed dresses and shirts, secondhand cowboy boots, pillbox hats and very cool jeans.

Maxon-Alley’s free-form fashion sense was something to behold. Her short, layered haircut was dyed red, with a shock of blond across the forehead. Fake pearls were wound around her throat. She wore a military-green jacket over an angry-colored tee and a long, silky negligee, flowing culottes and heeled sandals. This was, after all, her trunk show. She pointed out a rack of skirts, shirts and dresses bearing her label, Post-Decadent Reconstructed.

Surprisingly, more men than women popped in over the evening; all scanned the goods with open-mouthed delight. One woman, in a green velvet jacket and carrying a glittering gold purse, stopped dead at the sight of a pair of mannequins in male and female indie dress. She pulled out her cellphone and made a call. “You have to come here; these two mannequins are wearing outfits you and I should be wearing!” she commanded.

My friend pulled a strappy sundress off the Post-Decadent rack with a low “Oooh.” It was brown and cream in alternating strips, cut from two old pairs of hemp pants and sewn so that the seams showed. “That one’s from scratch. It took me days to do it,” Maxon-Alley explained. Then she grabbed a skirt, held it against her waist, and swished her hips for the folks just arriving, all the while chatting animatedly about the other designers she carries.

When my friend finally settled on a different dress, Maxon-Alley was just as happy, and praised us for “getting” the environmental and political importance of buying recycled, handmade clothing. But “Burlington is a little behind,” she added. Apparently “thinking green” hasn’t filtered down to fashion here yet, but no doubt it’s just a matter of time.

Do you smoke 10 or more cigarettes a day?

The Anxiety and Health Research laboratory at the University of Vermont is currently conducting two paid smoking studies:

STUDY #1

For people who are not interested in quitting. A 1 appointment study in which you will complete questionnaires and come to our office for a laboratory experiment. Two hours total. $25 in cash for participation.

STUDY #2

THIS LAND IS YOUR LAND Anyone anxious about sprawl can appreciate the Vermont Land Trust’s mission. Since 1977, the nonprofit has helped protect more than 465,000 acres, or 8 percent of the state’s privately held real estate, using conservation easements, which help landowners limit development while keeping their land available for farming, forestry and recreation. A Saturday celebration honors open space — and the VLT’s 30th anniversary. Six field trips cover a range of topics, including pasture management, wine and cheesemaking, and forestry, while kids can visit cows, chickens and other farmyard denizens. Afterward, localvores graze on American Flatbread’s hearth-baked pizzas and shake tail feathers to the old-time puckery pluckings of the Lemon Fair String Band.

SPONTANEOUS IGNITION

Vermont-based video artist, teacher and dancer Lisa Nelson prefers the title “dancemaker” to “choreographer.” A peek at her oeuvre illuminates: Nelson works with other performers to create spontaneous, in-the-moment compositions, not set structures that can be precisely repeated. Since the early 1970s, the Bessie Award winner has explored how sight, touch and sound inform spatial awareness, and how that consciousness helps dancers decide collaboratively what to do next, mid-step. Called “tuning scores,” Nelson’s approach aids communication among creators in other disciplines, too: She offers workshops to musicians, visual artists and actors who find the physical centering helpful. See Nelson use her trademark technique in a ready-set-GO improv duet with dancer Scott Smith, a U.K.-based alum of the Bebe Miller Company.

Personal Training • Nutrition Programs • Classes Including Spinning, Yoga & Strength

The generation gap lives. Many older folks seem to think today’s “whippersnappers” are something to complain about, while the young people tend to feel they have more legit complaints than their elders realize. One divisive issue is that of violence. Social critics argue that young people are growing up amid more mayhem than their parents did, or at least with more immediate knowledge of it, and that it’s affecting the adults they become. James Garbarino, a psychology professor at Chicago’s Loyola University and a national authority on human development, has researched and published bestselling books on violence and bullying in both boys and girls. The newly formed Burlington Partnership for a Healthy Community hosts Garbarino (pictured), who speaks about how adults can help kids navigate the “toxic environment” of U.S. consumer culture.

Mistress

Maeve

Your Gracious Guide to Love & Lust!

Dear Mistress Maeve, My ex-wife and I parted ways four years ago. However, we have a child together, which requires us to have a continuing civil relationship.

When we were still together, we invested in a variety of BDSM gear and other “toys.” When we split up, ensuring an equitable distribution of our treasure chest was far from a priority. Now, however, I’m wishing I had been more assertive. I have recently started dating someone who’s interested in experimenting, and some of my old toys and gear would come in handy. However, buying all new equipment is an expensive proposition. My ex-wife is not dating at all, and I am considering asking for my share of these items back. I am concerned that she will be offended, as my request will be a clear indication that I am sexually involved with someone else, and that I intend to use toys that we bought together in this new relationship. Although my sex life and relationships are none of my ex’s business, I want to keep the peace because of our co-parenting obligations. Should I reclaim my stuff, or leave well enough alone?

i Spy...

LOOSE CANNON at Organic Tantra I had hoped to run into you and then... you appeared! Too bad I was not alone.

I’ve admired you – discreetly – but I hope not so discreet that you can’t figure out who I am...I think (hope) you can?? Shall we finally meet? Dinner, drinks, a few laughs...scuttlebutt is you could use a few right now. So let’s! When: Tuesday, April 17, 2007. Where: Organic Tantra. You: Woman. Me: Woman. #901742 Tall Buff Guy Named Jerry Every girl notices you and from what I hear you have been with a few of them.

My girlfriends and I think you’re HOT and want to know more (and see) of you. You’re from Vegas and drive a Black Jeep with personal plates. We are the fun blondes that are super loud. Hope to see you around soon. When: Saturday, June 9, 2007. Where: Cuddy’s. You: Man. Me: Woman. #901741 babealicious bike boy Quiet-yet-burly-stud working at Alpine Shop. Silky brown hair, lustrous beard.

Your erupting muscles make me dream of you lifting me up in the air, twirling me around like a baton with great passion.

Riding laps around my heart since seeing your gaze, intensely magnified by your sensuous glasses. I’m burning to know what looks you’d give me when we’re alone. When: Wednesday, June 6, 2007.

Where: Alpine Shop, South Burlington.

You: Man. Me: Woman. #901740 Old Spokes Home It was Saturday morning, June 9th - I brought my green bike in, looking for a lock, and asked if you worked here. You didn’t, you were kind of nervous and looked like you wished to say something to me. I wanted to say something, but am shy. Get in touch if you’d like. When: Saturday, June 9, 2007. Where: Old Spokes Home.

You: Man. Me: Woman. #901739

Sincerely, Toyless

Dear Toyless, During a divorce, people divvy up everything from cars to kids, but no one likes to talk about the sex gear. Couples avoid discussing who gets to keep the love swing and nipple clamps because it’s hurtful to think about each other having sex with other people.

In your case, forget about the toys. It’s been four years since you split up — asking for the toys now is just plain tacky and will most likely cause more hurt than it’s worth. Besides, your new partner would probably prefer to play with toys that weren’t previously used to get your ex-wife off.

You’re right; sex toys are expensive, but you don’t have to outfit your new toy chest all at once. In fact, you have plenty of things around the house to get you started — hairbrushes and wooden spoons make great paddles, curtain cords and silk scarves double as restraints, and don’t forget the clothespins and ice cubes for sensuous torture.

Happy gear gathering,

MM

A. Findings and Purpose. This ordinance seeks to help prevent the spread of graffiti and defacement of property, public and private. Graffiti and the defacement of property are destructive of the rights and values of property owners. They are aesthetic blights on the entire community.

3. ”Defacement” means any application or causing the application to any surface of public or private property of paint, varnish, lead, crayon, wax, ink, dye or other substance, or the carving, chiseling, writing, or other such act of any mark, figure or letter on such property without being authorized to do so by the owner of the property or the owner’s duly authorized agent.

C. Prohibited Acts. It shall be unlawful for any person to make graffiti or deface any surface of public or private property unless authorized by the owner of the property or the owner’s duly authorized agent.

D. Penalties. A violation of this ordinance is a civil offense and shall be punishable by a fine of five hundred dollars ($500.00) with a waiver penalty of four hundred dollars ($400.00). At the discretion of the prosecuting officer or City Attorney, this penalty or a part thereof may be waived upon the successful completion of community service related to the elimination of graffiti and defacement.

Sec. 21-56. Penalty. (a) A violation of any of the following sections of this chapter shall be deemed a civil offense: Section 21-1. Abandoned iceboxes. Section 21-5. Signs in public ways; on vehicles. Section 21-6.

Posting bills. Section 21-8. Begging prohibited. Section 21-18.
