in the primary,” said Davis. “Certainly, as a popular conservative radio host, he has the best name recognition of the three.” In the U.S. Senate race, former Woodstock businessman LEN BRITTON is the lone GOP voice against popular incumbent Sen. Leahy. Britton is prochoice, but a ﬁscal conservative. In the state Senate, the GOP could pick up two seats: In Chittenden County, CHARLIE SMITH is running; in Lamoille, RICH WESTMAN has thrown his hat in the ring.

THE GOP’S HIGHEST PRIORITY IS TO ELECT BRIAN DUBIE, HOLD ONTO THE OPEN LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR’S SEAT AND

GAIN SOME SEATS IN THE LEGISLATURE.

E R IC D AVIS , P O L ITIC AL A N A LY S T

Smith was a state rep in the late 1970s and, more recently, served as executive director of the Snelling Center for Government. Westman was in the House for 27 years. He’s resigning from his job as tax commissioner in order to run. Both men are well liked by Republicans and Democrats. The real focus is on GOP gubernatorial hopeful BRIAN DUBIE, who does not ﬁt the “Vermont Republican” mold; his conservative views will make him harder to elect than was Douglas. Dubie ﬁrst emerged on the statewide political scene in 2000 as a lite-gov candidate during the “Take Back Vermont” insurgency — our homebrewed “Tea Party” movement of a decade ago fueled by anger over civil unions and Act 60, the statewide education funding law. Dubie opposed both. He lost that year to incumbent Democrat Lt. Gov. DOUG RACINE, but he’s run — and won — four times since. “The GOP’s highest priority is to elect Brian Dubie, hold onto the open lieutenant governor’s seat and gain some seats in the legislature,” Davis concludes. Sounds simple, right?

Deﬁcit Spending

Republican Len Britton believes the country’s anti-incumbent mood could assist him in unseating U.S. Sen. Patrick Leahy. Britton has been stumping for months and this week will host a series of “Downsizing the Deficit” forums around Vermont. He’s got a clever campaign ad on that subject running on WCAX-TV, which, even before it aired, got 30,000 views on YouTube. A former Hollywood screenwriter, Britton wrote the ad himself, according to campaign manager JEFF BARTLEY. The ad is a spoof of the old Publishers Clearing House shtik in which an unsuspecting winner receives an oversized, multimillion-dollar check. In Britton’s ad, a group of dark-suited men holding balloons pull up to a house inhabited by a family expecting a big check. It turns out be an invoice for $168,000 — one family’s share of the national debt. “That’s a lot of money, mister,” says a boy. “Better get a paper route, Billy,” responds a dark-suited G-Man. Britton himself later comes on screen and blames Leahy and his ilk in D.C. for “creating deficits we may never be able to repay.” If this candidate thing doesn’t work out, maybe Britton has a future writing 90-second ads for other pols? You need a good sense of humor to take on a well-financed incumbent like Leahy — especially since Britton has promised not to take any special-interest or political-action-committee money. Britton’s April campaign finance report indicates he raised a mere $43,000 in the last quarter and racked up more than $70,000 in debt. About a third of the latter is owed to his former campaign manager, DAN RILEY. Meanwhile, Leahy has more than $3 million on hand — and no debts. Despite the lackluster fundraising, Bartley notes, he expects things to pick up this summer. “We’ve been able to stay on budget. All vendors are in good standing.” That was news to Riley. “Mr. Bartley and Mr. Britton are well aware that [the] Castle Group has tens of thousands of dollars in unpaid consulting

invoices,” said Riley. “However, we are very optimistic these invoices will be paid in light of the fact that the campaign now has enough funds to run expensive TV ads.”

Fine and Dandy

Scooped! VTDigger.org reported last week that the Vermont Democratic Party paid a $2500 fine to the Federal Election Commission in April for violating campaign-finance reporting rules. As “Fair Game” noted last fall, an internal investigation requested by Lamoille County Democrats found the party had filed incorrect reports with the FEC for nearly two years. The party corrected the mistakes, and hired professional staff to ensure it wouldn’t happen again. “We hadn’t had the resources invested before to do it right, and we got what we paid for, ultimately,” said Vermont Democratic Party Executive Director RobeRt Dempsey. “We’ve now fixed it, and we’re moving on.”

For starters, he may not be welcome in the party he has often called GOP-lite. Worse, in 2008, he got more votes than Democratic gubernatorial candidate gaye symington. That hurt. Pollina will have to best several longtime Washington County Democrats in a five-way primary for three seats: incumbent Sen. ann cummings, former State Rep.

Pollina may have competition on the Prog ticket, too: micHael colby, an activist and horse logger who lives in Worcester, is running as a Progressive.

All the News?

Burlington Free Press associate editor pat gaRRity wasn’t happy with last week’s “Fair Game,” in which we took the state’s largest daily to task for ignoring a press conference prompted by published praise from Kiplinger’s Personal Finance, along with other awards bestowed upon the Queen City. We weren’t the only ones to notice the paper’s absence. A reader posed a similar question on the Freeps’ website. “We felt the news was worthy of reporting when we became aware of it. We didn’t feel it was necessary to report it all over again,” Garrity replied to the online reader. As a result, the Freeps missed some good exchanges between the media, Mayor bob Kiss and Chief Administrative Officer JonatHan leopolD about Burlington Telecom’s finances. In response to “Fair Game,” Garrity sent a cut-and-pasted May “story” about the Kiplinger’s award, a six-paragraph brief buried in its business section. A rewritten press release shows exactly how much the Freeps cares about its namesake city. m

Can campaign consultant Joe tRippi do it for Doug Racine? News of his hiring came as a surprise, because Trippi tends to back centrist-left Democrats who aren’t afraid to knock a few heads in the primary. That’s not what comes to mind when you think of Racine. In his official announcement, the Vermont gubernatorial candidate noted Trippi’s role in the presidential campaign of former Gov. HowaRD Dean. Trippi is credited with the strategy that made Dean a household name. But Racine failed to note that when he ran for governor in 2002, he hired Trippi’s former firm — Trippi, McMahon & Squier — to handle his ads. Trippi didn’t personally handle Racine’s media buys. That job fell to steve mcmaHon, who worked with Dean and Racine throughout the 1990s. Another alum from Dean’s presidential team is involved in the Democratic

Finally Susan The senator from Lamoille County is telling it straight, but is anybody listening? B Y A ND Y BROMAGE

Five of the six may be almost indistinguishable on policy issues. But the men and women competing to be the next governor of Vermont are vastly different people. And their individual stories may better indicate how they’d govern than any number of speeches, videos and slogans. To that end, Seven Days reporter Andy Bromage has been getting to know the gubernatorial candidates, at their jobs, in their homes and on the campaign trail. In the first of six profiles, he shines a light on Susan Bartlett, the self-described “underdog” in the race to run Vermont.

enator Susan Bartlett has a reputation for toughness, so no one expected her to get weepy during her final budget presentation. The Lamoille County Democrat was briefing her colleagues on the Senate floor, on a cloudy day in April, when she was overcome with emotion. After 18 years in the legislature, including 10 as chair of the budget-writing Senate Appropriations Committee, Bartlett was retiring to run for governor. This was the last budget she would shepherd through. “I knew I’d feel sad,” said Bartlett, half crying, half laughing. “I’m crying because — whew — I don’t have to do it again.” By turning a potential “Muskie moment” into a joke, she skillfully avoided embarrassment. For years, 63-year-old Bartlett has been the legislature’s go-to person on all things fiscal. Fellow senators say her understanding of state government is unmatched; her institutional memory, indispensable. “She has an incredible ability to process numbers,” says Sen. Diane Snelling, a Chittenden County Republican who calls Bartlett a “mentor” and has served for nine years on her committee. One of five Democrats seeking their party’s nomination for governor, Bartlett is trying to parlay her deep knowledge of state government into a victory at the polls on August 24. That, combined with her politically moderate views, are what set her apart from her competitors. Most pundits would give Bartlett long odds: She has scant name recognition, no major endorsements, and doesn’t have a lot of campaign cash. Polls show Bartlett squarely at the back of the Democratic pack, trailing Republican candidate Brian Dubie by 18 points in a hypothetical match-up. But Bartlett appears undeterred. Vermonters want a centrist in the governor’s

office, she reasons, and after eight years of Republican Governor Jim Douglas, voters are ready to give a Democrat a chance. She says her Democratic rivals — senators Doug Racine (D-Chittenden) and Peter Shumlin (D-Windham), Secretary of State Deb Markowitz and former Senator Matt Dunne — are too liberal to beat Dubie, the popular lieutenant governor. “I do underdog really well!” Bartlett exclaims. Bartlett, who entered the governor’s race before Douglas announced he would not seek a fifth term, says she wants to be governor because she’s “tired of driving from the back of the bus.” When talking up her credentials, she is fond of saying that chairing the budget-writing committee is “the only place in state government other than the governor’s office” where you have to understand all of government’s moving parts and make all of them function. Bartlett boasts that in lean fiscal times, she’s had the courage to “say no” — to hold the line on taxes and spending, to invest in tourism and business development, and to make politically unpopular but necessary cuts to state programs. “That is leadership,” she proclaims. But “Budget Know-How” and “The Courage to Say No” don’t seem like winning campaign slogans. Likewise, Bartlett’s platform contains ideas that, while well thought out, may strike some as a little obscure: for instance, her plan to create a statewide Office of Innovation and Intellectual Property to assist companies in patenting their inventions. Neither self-promotion nor stagecraft comes naturally to Bartlett. “This feels very artificial — and that’s not me,” she remarked from a floating dock on the Burlington Waterfront at her official campaign kickoff. Who is she, then? According to Bartlett, she’s the candidate best qualified to hit the

gubernatorial ground running. oters outside Lamoille County aren’t all that familiar with Susan Bartlett. She’s the only Democratic candidate who has never run a statewide race. When her campaign website first launched, the menu bar had a button labeled “Susan Who?” — a humorous acknowledgment of her lack of name recognition. That menu tab has since been changed to the more staid “About Susan.” Bartlett is confident that she can make up the deficit between now and the end of August. “It’s the easiest thing in the world to go spend two days in Rutland and meet a whole bunch of people who talk to other people who know other people who go, ‘Wow, I met Susan and she’s pretty impressive,’” she says.

Why “Pete the Moose” Could Still Be Caught in the Crosshairs B y Shay Tot t en

leventh-hour language slipped quietly into the state budget bill is being hailed as saving the life of “Pete the Moose” — a celebrity cervid whose active group of 5000-plus Facebook “friends” overwhelmed state officials with emails, phone calls and letters urging them to spare his life. In reality, the legislation may do little to save him from a hunter’s bullet, or to save about a dozen other moose and roughly 200 whitetail deer that belong to Doug Nelson, who runs a 700acre game farm in Irasburg. There Nelson raises elk, but over the years deer and moose have found their way past his farm’s fences in search of food and love. The legislation grants ownership of these native animals to Nelson and puts his operation under the sole authority of the Agency of Agriculture, rather than the Department of Fish and Wildlife. The DFW had planned to cull the trespassers to

ensure that a “mad cow”-like disease called chronic wasting disease would not spread between nonnative and native herds. A CWD outbreak in 2005 at a similar game farm in New York motivated Vermont officials to put in place stronger rules aimed at preventing such an incident here. Pete was one of the animals marked for probable death. The moose was allegedly injured as a calf, found and rehabilitated by a long-bearded, hermit-like mountain man named David Lawrence. Lawrence, a former big-game hunter who claims to be redeeming himself by nurturing injured wildlife, plopped Pete inside Nelson’s game farm late last year. At that time, state fish and game laws would have prohibited Nelson from profiting off native species found on his land. Now, because of the legislation that “saved” Pete, Nelson will be able to keep the animals and potentially charge hunters to kill them. Agency of Agriculture officials

WILDLIFE

say they are not yet sure if Nelson will be able to charge for the hunts of native moose and whitetail deer on his property. He currently charges about $4000 to “hunt” elk. National and in-state hunting groups, along with state wildlife officials, are urging lawmakers to overturn the measure. Some opponents say they may challenge the law in court. The law may be ripe for a challenge, notes Pamela Vesilind, a Vermont Law School professor who specializes in animal law and has closely followed Pete’s saga. “The Vermont constitution, Supreme Court and laws all support the — public trust doctrine,’ the idea that state citizens — own’ wild animals and the legislature can only limit that for the common good of the citizens. That’s not what’s happening here,” wrote Vesilind in an email. “I understand the legislators’ good intentions, but they’ve turned wildlife law on its head.” The legislation was a shock to Fish and

Wildlife Commissioner Wayne LaRoche and the state Fish and Wildlife Board. They say neither the legislature nor other members of the Douglas administration sought their input as the law was drafted. “We were all taken aback,” says Brian Ames, chairman of the state Fish and Wildlife Board, which writes state fish and game laws. “This is completely new territory, and nowhere else have we ever allowed a herd of wild animals to exist basically for personal profit.” The legislation gives Nelson until August 1 to submit a strategy to thin the native herds, and until October 1 to install new fences. Culling is still required to halt

ermont and its largest city, Burlington, enjoy top billing on nearly every U.S. quality-of-life ranking — best outdoor town, fittest city, healthiest state. But one category attracts surprisingly few accolades: bicycle friendliness. In the 2010 appraisal of Bicycle Friendly States, recently released by the League of American Bicyclists, Vermont ranked just 34 out of 50. That’s down from 21 in 2009 and 17 in 2008. The state is now ranked behind states such as Kentucky, Mississippi and South Carolina — none of which is known for being progressive. Despite new legislation passed this year aimed at making the streets safer for pedestrians, cyclists and motorists, Vermont still falls far short of expectations. Nancy Schulz, executive director of the Vermont Bicycle & Pedestrian Coalition, says Burlington saw progress in accommodating bicycles during Peter Clavelle’s mayoral terms, and the state also made strides during the Dean administration — but not much legislative change has

happened since. “There’s been a lot of backslide,” Schulz says. “I hope this shocks people into recognizing what we’ve been saying for years — we can’t just rest on our laurels from the ’70s.” The number of bicycle-related road accidents in Vermont has increased, according to Chapin Spencer, executive director of Local Motion, the Chittenden County bicycle-and-pedestrian advocacy group. That’s why Local Motion has been working

with the city council and the Burlington Police Department to change and enforce local bicycle ordinances. One revision the team is considering is the addition of a “3foot rule,” which has long been the standard preferred by safe-streets advocates. The rule would require Burlington motorists to give cyclists a 3-foot buffer when passing them. States that ranked high on the list of Bicycle Friendly States all had a 3-foot law in place, including Florida and Tennessee, which both spiked in the ratings this year. Advocates in Vermont proposed a statewide 3-foot law two years ago, but were told by legislators it would never pass, Schulz says. Instead, advocates settled for a “Safe Passing” law. That new law requires cyclists to use flashing red lights on the backs of their bikes when it’s dark out. It allows them to signal right- and left-hand turns with either hand, and to ride in the left lane when turning left. Finally, the law prohibits motorists from throwing anything at cyclists. This provision was added after an avid

cyclist — who happened to be a Northfield police officer — was targeted by a passing motorist. He tracked down the offender, but because of the relative weakness of laws regarding cycling safety, could only cite the driver for littering. The Safe Passing law, which takes effect July 1, is a “good first step,” says Spencer. But it does little to help cyclists like Derek McIntire. Recently, says McIntire, he and his girlfriend were biking on North Winooski Avenue when a car began laying on its horn behind them, and the driver screamed at the couple to “get out of the road.” At the time, McIntire had a camera attached to his helmet and recorded the altercation. After more words were exchanged, the passenger threw a glass bottle at the pair; it shattered on McIntire’s girlfriend’s

the possible spread of CWD. “Ironically, although Mr. Nelson didn’t have a legal right to shoot Pete or any other moose on the property, the new law gives him that right. In theory, he could also sell moose-hunting access to anyone who visits his facility,” notes Vesilind. “The elk, moose, and deer on this property aren’t afraid of humans anymore. You may as

herd has been a captive herd for nine to 10 years, and Fish and Wildlife’s solution was to go up and shoot all the moose and deer. As you can imagine, that didn’t sit too well with a number of folks.” LaRoche disagrees. He was not interested in eliminating all the native animals in one swift kill, he says, but rather over a period of years. Nelson, however, would

declining figures, the numbers of people walking and cycling for recreation and transportation are now increasing, according to the U.S. Census. In Chittenden County, bike-shop owners report big increases in bicycle sales, and Eames says bicycle commuters account for the greater part of his shop’s business. “I think [the number of bicycle commuters] would be bigger if people really felt safe, and if they had an issue, that there was something that could be done about it,” says Eames, who estimates Burlington’s cycling population has tripled since his shop opened 15 years ago. Bicycle advocates such as Schulz and Spencer say they hope to see bike and pedestrian safety standards institutionalized soon, ideally by responsive police who have learned the new rules of the road at the police academy. Also, says Spencer, the more people report bicycle-car accidents, the stronger the advocates’ case for reform. “In a lot of ways, the rules haven’t been laid out clearly, and cyclists and pedestrians lose out,” Spencer says. “Motorists are the ones police understand the best.” m

The officer who arrived told them he could do nothing, even though McIntire had the license plate number and a description of the vehicle. “He was completely disinterested,” McIntire says of the police officer. “The first thing he asked was, ‘Could he get around you?’” After viewing the video, Spencer and others from Local Motion met with Burlington Police Chief Mike Schirling. The matter is currently being investigated. McIntire’s incident is only one of many reported in recent months. Glenn Eames, owner of the Old Spokes Home bike shop, says he was clipped from his bike after a teenager with a learner’s permit cut him off while he was riding in the bike lane on Riverside Avenue. The driver was issued a ticket for driving without a license, but not for hitting Eames. Morganne Rascoe, a student at the Community College of Vermont, was pedaling up the bike lane on North Union Street when a truck allegedly drove into her. She was knocked from her bike and sustained a broken shoulder and a torn rotator cuff. The truck drove off. The time has come for serious change, says Spencer. After nearly half a century of

never agree to terms, because the farmer didn’t believe the state had the authority to govern the hunts on his property, says LaRoche. Instead of having to abide by fish and wildlife laws, which have real teeth, Nelson now only needs to run his plans by the Agency of Agriculture. “I think the legislature was blinded by the ‘Pete the Moose’ story,” says Ames, “when it wasn’t really about Pete the Moose.” As for Nelson, he’s saying very little these days now that the attention on Pete has subsided.

What’s next — “Save Pete Jr.”? Sen. Susan Bartlett, chairwoman of the Senate Appropriations Committee, defended the deal, which was crafted by attorneys at the Agency of Agriculture and shepherded through the legislature by Sen. Robert Starr (D-Essex/ Orleans) and Rep. Duncan Kilmartin (R-Newport). “We were compelled to make a decision because of the way that Fish and Wildlife was acting,” says Bartlett. “This

ERICA HUYLER DONNIS’ new book The History of Shelburne Farms: A Changing Landscape, an Evolving Vision reminds us just how strange it is that 1500 acres of farm- and parkland — prime real estate — stretch nearly undivided along the shores of Lake Champlain. Consider that it took until 1989 for Shelburne Farms — established more than a century earlier — to stop losing money. Donnis, a former curator of collections at the estate who worked on the book for nearly a decade, notes that “the Shelburne Farms estate was not designed to be a profitable operation, and it

probably never was” — at least not until its centennial, when the brick mansion opened as an inn. Of course, making a buck was no great concern to Lila Vanderbilt Webb, who inherited $10 million from her railroad baron father in 1885 and promptly began buying up Shelburne farmland with her husband, W. Seward. Their country estate eventually stretched some 3800 acres. In its heyday, Shelburne Farms was a veritable private agrarian Disney World with a massive barn and horse-breeding facility, a dairy, a pheasantry, a piggery, yachts, golf links, 25,000 square feet of greenhouses, state-of-the-art electrical and communications systems, and hundreds of employees. It hosted presidents and slews of wealthy guests. Like

lords of the manor, the Webbs owned the Shelburne railroad depot (where they graciously allowed public trains to stop) and heavily endowed the town’s Episcopal church. But, paternalistic as they may have been, the couple was committed to the principle of “model farming.” Donnis details how the Webbs used their estate as a laboratory for agricultural experiments they hoped would benefit the common farmer. Fast-forward to the present, and model farming’s 21stcentury counterpart is “sustainability education,” to which the Webbs’ heirs are dedicated. Donnis’ book is thick with names and figures, as one expects from an official history based on archives. If you’re looking for the Webb family’s dirty laundry,

uick, name a group of businesses that are actually expanding in the recession. That’s right — movie theaters. Sure, we now have the technology to download new flicks instantly on demand. But 3-D ticket premiums are boosting profits for movie houses, which took a record $10 billion domestic box-office haul in 2009. Earlier this month, the ESSEX CINEMAS announced plans to build a mammoth digital 3-D screen and a small, intimate theater-cum-bistro for the hipster crowd. Now comes news of a much smaller cinema going three-dimensional: the MARQUIS THEATER in Middlebury. Owner BILL SHAFER says he has no plans to buy digital projectors. But he is acquiring “active” 3-D glasses from a company called XpanD that are compatible with

traditional film projection. The setup will be the first of its kind in our area, and Shafer hopes to have it online in July. XpanD’s glasses are nifty — and pricey — gadgets. Unlike the “passive” ones used at the Essex and MAJESTIC 10, which channel images to one eye or the other using polarization or filters, XpanD’s contain LCD shutters synched to the projector with an infrared sensor. When the projector says to cut the light to one eye or the other, the glasses obey. Shafer claims the system makes it easier for viewers to tilt their heads without experiencing vision distortion and nausea. It also allows more light to reach the screen than other 3-D systems, eliminating the

need for a special silver one. (Yes, most screens for 3-D projection are literally silver.) Still, at $150 per pair, the goggles aren’t cheap. When it comes to reclaiming 3-D glasses from patrons after the show, theater owners depend on a vigilant staff and the honor system. Shafer says that’s where his college-town three-screener has an advantage over the big multiplexes. “We’re a small theater here,” he says, “and we can keep track of that stuff.” Which Vermont theater will go 3-D next? MERRILL JARVIS III, who owns downtown Burlington’s MERRILL’S ROXY CINEMAS, will only say, “We’re thinking about it.” HAROLD BLANK, owner of the PALACE 9 in South Burlington, says he’s “working on renovations” but doesn’t yet have “firm plans.” Is 3-D a fad? Shafer of the

Play. you won’t find it here. But an intriguing story does emerge — the story of a fabulously privileged family that fell in love with a place and refused to leave, even if that meant succeeding generations had to get their hands dirty. Literally. Donnis narrates how Lila’s grandson Derick Webb (1913-84) embraced the farming life after he suffered an eye injury that made him unfit for office work. Son Marshall joked that the smell of manure didn’t leave his father till he was elected to the state legislature. In the late ’60s, facing skyrocketing property taxes, Derick Webb considered leasing parcels of the estate to companies like IBM. But his six kids, baby boomers catching the first wave of environmentalism, put a stop to that. In 1972, they formed a nonprofit called shelburne FarMs resources and began transforming the estate into a publicly accessible center for conservation education, which it remains to this day.

Gracefully written but fact heavy, The History of Shelburne Farms is best enjoyed by people who already love the place and want to explore its past. Not surprisingly, stacks of the glossy coffeetable volume — published by the VerMont historical society — weigh down a table at the estate’s Welcome Center. Its many black-and-white archival photos offer points of comparison between then and now. For instance, readers will see just how radically the ravages of Dutch elm disease changed the look of the estate. In 1907, Lila Webb wrote in a letter, “In spite of everything we have seen, we are still more than ever content with Shelburne, and it is very difficult to beat the views we have there.” No wonder that, unlike so many palatial American estates built before federal income taxes, Shelburne Farms stayed in the family. The views that were good enough for a Vanderbilt still look pretty good to the rest of us, too. m

A Contemporary Actor Takes on Dickens, the Actor BY M E GAN JAM E S

irector GAEN MURPHREE and actor NEIL FLINT WORDEN knew they were on to something during their informal kitchen-table rehearsal of Charles Dickens reading Charles Dickens: The guy spackling the walls around them burst into applause. Now, they’re hoping for a similarly enthusiastic reception at Middlebury’s TOWN HALL THEATER this weekend, when Worden will embody the popular 19thcentury author for the evening in The Very Dickens! The one-man show includes scenes from Nicholas Nickleby and David Copperﬁeld performed in much the way Dickens himself did during the last 12 years of his life. “People went bananas over his readings,” Murphree says. “It was almost like he created some completely different theatrical genre. He literally became all the characters.” Murphree began looking into this lesser-known part of Dickens’ life while working on a production of A Christmas Carol at the American Conservatory Theater in San Francisco several years ago. She was fascinated by the reviews, which raved about the author’s captivating stage presence. Fame came quickly to Dickens. He was only in his mid-twenties when the publication of The Pickwick Papers made him a star, Murphree says. But he had always loved the theater, and very nearly became an actor. “He had an audition set at one of the theaters in London,” she notes. “And it just so happened that he had a cold that day, and he didn’t go, and then Pickwick went crazy and he became an overnight success, so he never reinvestigated that other career.” Working from Dickens’ original

THEATER

manuscripts, which she found at the New York Public Library annotated and edited by the author himself, Murphree has adapted the works to appeal to a 21st-century audience. For example, she has given more of a voice to Emily, the “ruined woman” in David Copperﬁeld. “What she actually says would ﬁll about one page, and it’s, like, an 800page novel,” Murphree says. “So, to give her any kind of voice at all, I had to go on this major sleuthing effort. Unlike the Victorian era, we’re not going to be so happy with a major female character who doesn’t speak.” The performance in Middlebury will be pretty bare bones: just Worden on stage in a tux. MARGO WHITCOMB, who teaches theater at Johnson State College, will lead a discussion after the show. Murphree is calling it a workshop, because she and Worden intend to take it on the road around New England next fall, à la actor Hal Holbrook’s Mark Twain Tonight! touring show. “We’re hoping it brings out not just the people who already love Dickens, but people who are just discovering him,” Murphree says. 

the taxi. As I said — zombie time. I was so buzzed, my ears were burning. That can’t be good, right? On a superlong fare, you really hope for a personable customer. Donna, the young woman I drove to Ithaca, perfectly fit the bill. When I picked her up, I offered her the front or rear seat, “whatever’s more comfortable for you.” I was happy when she chose the back, because then I could keep my cooler and CD supply handy in the shotgun seat. Plus, it can be a little weird sitting two feet from a person you don’t know for seven straight hours, however nice he or she may be. As it turned out, the small pillow I brought along fulfilled its intended purpose. Donna curled up and snoozed in the back-seat for at least half the ride. From my cooler, I kept reaching for the container of quartered oranges. I’ve discovered that these do the trick when endurance is the challenge. The last thing you want to do is stop for fat-and-salt-laden fast food. Other than the call of nature, nothing slows me down on these epic runs. I’ve been at this for so long, it’s rare for me to traverse virgin territory, but this was my first foray into Ithaca. The town and the campus are something special, surrounded by massive cliffs, which in turn are bisected by gorges: rushing water galore. Donna told me the town has its own tagline: “Ithaca Is Gorges.” This got me thinking about Burlington’s tagline: “The West Coast of New England.” That’s all right as far as it goes, but I propose a new slogan, one with a tad more zing: “Burlington — Yes, eating out is a form of recreation!”

liking Burlington, so if it’s not too long a daily commute, I think we’d be happier up here.” “Oh, man — that’s great,” I said, temporarily ignoring the guy’s question. “What are you going to be doing? I mean, what’s your trade?” The man chuckled and said, “That’s a good question. I don’t really have much of a trade.” “Jack’s just being modest,” the woman said. “He’s an engineer, and he’ll be supervising the construction of the foundation.” I said, “Well, I hope you do a good job because, you know, the foundation of a

The man was broad shouldered and well muscled — not your typical runner’s build, but he was clearly an athletic type. His female companion I liked right away on account of her T-shirt that read, “Peace Love Sox.” She, too, was fit and trim. Over my right shoulder, I asked, “Didja guys both run yesterday?” The man replied, “No, as a matter of fact, we had no idea there was a marathon this weekend. We just came up to explore the town. We’re going to be moving up to Vermont for about a year. Hey, maybe you can help with some info — what would you say is the drive time from Burlington to, say, Middlebury? I’m going to be working on the new Champlain Bridge, and we’re trying to decide whether to rent a place down there or just commute from the Burlington area. We’re really

Commuting down to the bridge site will probably take you about 40 minutes to an hour, depending where you rent in the Burlington area. Although, if you find a nice little place along the Route 7 corridor, maybe Shelburne or Charlotte, you could probably scoot down there in about a half hour.” Jack said, “Thanks, man — that’s exactly what we were thinking, too. By the way, did you run in the marathon?” “Are you kidding?” I replied, and paused for three seconds as if to think about it. “Man, I get winded walking from my couch to the refrigerator.” m “hackie” is a biweekly column that can also be read on sevendaysvt.com.

he weekend of the Burlington City Marathon lived up to its name for me. I bracketed the always-busy Saturday and Sunday with one of the longer round-trip fares of my cabbie career. On Friday, I transported a customer from Montpelier to Ithaca, N.Y., to attend her sister’s Cornell graduation, and on Monday I drove back down to pick her up. By the end of my personal four-day marathon — pushing midnight on Monday — I was a zombie. Seriously, I was ready to walk with the undead. I want to say I’m getting old, but that would be like saying I’m getting bald. The truth is, regarding both of these states, the “getting” phase has become the “gotten” phase. I mean, I’ve not yet begun to fossilize, but the body ain’t quite what it used to be and, frankly, what it used to be wasn’t exactly marathon ready. Nonetheless, I used to have the capacity to drive endlessly and shake it off. Recovery time was measured in hours — or, at most, in a good night’s sleep. Alas, those days are over. A word about customer safety is in order. When I’m rolling, I enter a zone, and this has been true for me since my first driver’s education lesson at age 16. At the moment I shift the transmission into drive, a parallel shift seems to occur in the synapses of my brain. Once I’ve entered this zone, though my body may tire, my attention never flags. So, on Monday, toward the tail end of the Ithaca run and approaching 14 straight hours behind the wheel, I experienced not even a hint of nodding off; mentally, I remained as sharp as a tack. The problem kicked in once the drive was over, when I parked and got out of

Anyway, this exhausting Ithaca round-trip reduced the heart of the long weekend, the Saturday and Sunday, to one huge blur. I know I drove droves of marathoners, or their runner-related posses, and I kept repeating the same joke. When a customer asked if I was going to participate in the big race — and many of them did — I replied, “Are you kidding me? I get winded walking from my couch to the refrigerator.” I actually got quite adept at delivering this line; by late Saturday, my timing was perfect. I killed, baby. Normally, I take off Sundays, but the town was still hopping with the race

SEVENDAYSVT.COM

Time to Pick the Daysies Again! Hard to believe this is our eighth annual best-of readers’ survey! Where does the time go? You’ll find a few new categories here along with most of the golden oldies. And, once again, we’ll be giving Daysie awards to winners inside and outside Chittenden County in those categories with enough votes to warrant it. We can’t change the fact that Chittenden is the most populous county — and thus has the most voters — but Seven Days’’ circulation area is still spreading, and we’d like to acknowledge “bests” all over the state. One big change since we did this last year: the size of the paper. Previously, we included blanks for your answers. This time, we’re really hoping you’ll use the online form, which you can access at www. sevendaysvt.com. This will save your pals at Seven Days from a laborious night of counting — though we did enjoy the pizza and beer part. If you don’t have access to a computer, feel free to write your numbered answers on a separate piece of paper, clip it to this ballot and send it to Seven Days, P.O. Box 1164, Burlington, VT 05402. Please write legibly and be explicit — if we can’t understand your answer, it won’t count. Have fun supporting your local besties, and look for the results in our special Daysies issue on August 4.

Rules:

• Voters should ﬁll out ONLY ONE ballot, whether online or on paper. Evidence of ballot duplication (don’t think we can’t tell) will result in all those ballots being disqualified. • Voters must ﬁll out at least 50 answers for it to be counted. • Play fair, Daysie candidates! Campaigning to win is OK, but no bribes or rewards for votes, please! Evidence of this will result in disqualification, not to mention bad karma.

Dear cecil, The current drama over the Gulf oil spill reminds me of an article some years ago saying that, despite millions spent on massive coastline cleanup following the Exxon Valdez disaster, contaminated areas untouched by cleanup crews reverted to their pristine prespill condition just as quickly as those with human help. Is this a case of letting mother Nature alone to do what she does best, or simply not true? mike Hogan, Auckland, N.Z.

pparently the good news hasn’t gotten out to kiwi country. Rush Limbaugh has already assessed the situation in the Gulf of Mexico and announced, “The ocean will take care of this on its own if it was left alone and was left out there. It’s natural. It’s as natural as the ocean water is. Well, the turtles may take a hit for a while, but so what?” Still, maybe you won’t mind getting a second opinion from me. The basics: First, oil is mostly biodegradable. Some of it evaporates or breaks down with exposure to sunlight, and at least 20 types of marine bacteria plus several types of fungi can degrade what’s left. Surprised to learn that bacteria eat oil? Don’t be. Although oil spills from tankers and wells make the news, they account for less than 15 percent of the total petroleum entering the world’s oceans, while 47 percent comes from natural oil seeps. (The rest largely comes from petroleum use.)

That doesn’t mean oil biodegrades easily. Crude oil consists mainly of various types of hydrocarbons, some of which break down readily, others not at all. Light oils generally degrade faster than heavy ones. Very light crude might lose 60 percent of its volume due to biodegradation in four weeks, heavy crude just 10 percent. Temperature is important — warmer waters encourage bacteria growth, which is one bright spot for the Gulf. A big factor slowing oil breakdown is that oil doesn’t contain much nitrogen or phosphorus, both of which are needed for good bacterial growth. Enter bioremediation, where fertilizer is added to encourage natural bacteria. First tried in the 1960s, it evidently works. One 2002 study showed that adding just 0.25 percent fertilizer to oil on a lab-simulated beach quintupled the natural biodegradation rate. Tests in 1994 in Delaware Bay, which is already rich with bacterial nutrients, showed fertilizer

doubled the rate of oil degradation in shallow waters. The same year, scientists fighting a spill on a beach near Haifa, Israel, reported that bioremediation had reduced oil contamination 88 percent in just four weeks. Sometimes nature doesn’t need much assistance. Following the 1978 wreck of the Amoco Cadiz off the coast of Brittany, oil was broken down quickly by local microbes, which had grown accustomed to the stuff thanks to shipping leakage. Same for the 1980 Tanio wreck in the same area — biodegradation was detectable within 24 hours. The blowout of the Ixtoc well in the Gulf of Mexico in 1979 was a different story. Warm water and friendly bacteria raised hopes for speedy degradation, but in this case the oil formed an emulsion, or mousse, on the surface that proved resistant to breakdown. To your question: It’s true that human efforts didn’t clean up most of the 1989 Exxon Valdez spill. Some hydrocarbons degraded rapidly without assistance, possibly because bacteria in Prince William Sound had acclimated to resin emitted by pine trees on shore. But bioremediation seemed to help. Local bacteria were found to be starving for nutrients, and once fertilizers were added to a test area, they got busy. Within a couple weeks a “white window” of clean rocks appeared among the

gunk-covered ones. Eventually, more than 70 miles of beach were treated this way. Later researchers questioned how much oil the process actually got rid of, though. It’s been calculated that, all told, bioremediation, skimming, spraying and scrubbing were responsible for removing less than a sixth of the spilled oil. Who or whatever deserves the credit, most of the Exxon Valdez spillage did eventually disappear. Not all of it, though — biodegradation has its limits. Oxygen is key in much bacterial action, and once oil gets buried under sediment things really slow down. In 2001 researchers dug pits at 91 sites along the shore of Prince William Sound and found oil at roughly three in five. That may sound overly grim — another

BLISS

Embodied Mind/ Contemplative Body

survey of 5000 pits by U.S. government researchers in 2001 and 2003 found 98 percent had little or no oil. Conclusion? Let’s break this down into more digestible bits. Do oil spills mostly go away on their own? Yes. Does that mean we’re better off leaving them alone? Of course not. Nobody doubts we need to plug leaks and contain spillage, and I’m persuaded bioremediation helps at least sometimes. But other intervention may be wasteful or harmful. Excessive use of chemical dispersants may threaten wildlife. Animal rescue efforts may be expensive PR exercises. The chief lesson from past spills is how little we know about what works. We’d better find out.

or a dyed-in-the-wool feminist, Lizz Winstead is a helluva kingmaker. Tune in to late-night television and you’re likely to find a show whose male host owes his stardom — and seven-figure salary — to her. As cocreator and former head writer of “The Daily Show,” where she worked from 1996 to 1998, Winstead helped launch the meteoric careers of Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert, Lewis Black and much of Comedy Central’s fake news team. She also helped Jimmy Kimmel with his pilot for “The Man Show,” a precursor to ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live.” In 2003, Winstead cofounded the liberal talk-radio network Air America. Though now defunct, it introduced the nation to MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow and, arguably, convinced Minnesotans to take Al Franken seriously enough to elect him to the U.S. Senate. But Winstead isn’t just a behind-thescenes writing and producing genius. For years she’s done gobs of standup specials of her own, appeared on TV and contributed to the Huffington Post. She can riff on a range of subjects, from self-described “fool for Christ” Michele Bachmann to solar-powered vibrators. This weekend, Winstead brings her razor-sharp political skewers to Burlington’s FlynnSpace for two shows titled simply “An Evening With Lizz Winstead.” Despite her platinum-plated comedic cred, Winstead has spent the last few years working full time — for no pay — with a web-based comedy troupe called Shoot the Messenger. Together, they produce the satirical “Wake Up World,” an online spoof that bills itself as “America’s only six-hour morning show.” Winstead, the show’s creator, stars as host Hope Jean Paul. With cohost Davis Miles (Baron Vaughn) and busty weather chick Emily Rackcheck (Darbi Worley), she chit-chats over coffee about genital warts and exciting new products such as “MyNecology,” the at-home pelvic-exam kit.

feature commercials for fake businesses such as an online service called freetorturereport.com and “Darfour Seasons,” a five-star resort in Sudan that hosts celebrities traveling to Africa for photo ops and adoptive babies. Winstead, 48, grew up in Minneapolis. Her mother, a decoder in Navy intelligence during World War II, met Winstead’s father in Washington, D.C., while he was recovering from malaria he had contracted at Guadalcanal. Winstead was the youngest of five siblings in her “crazy Catholic family,” all of whom “walked, ran or sprinted away from the Catholic Church,” she says. Today, Winstead is single, lives alone in Brooklyn and shares her bed with two four-legged companions, Buddy and Edie, both rescue dogs. The former has appeared in several “Wake Up World” sketches, including one where he appeared as “Lumpy the cancer-sniffing dog.” Winstead, who loves to cook, hosts a weekly Sunday dinner at her house for Shoot the Messenger’s cast and crew. That is, when the troupe’s members aren’t on the road pursuing their own budding careers, which they owe largely to Winstead’s Midas touch. Other fun facts about Lizz: Growing up as a feminist, she loved Barbie — not as a possessor of preposterous body proportions, but as a positive role model: “She’s a single woman with a house and a car who did whatever she wanted,” Winstead says. Winstead is also a yoga addict, is deadly at Scrabble (average score: 375), loves sex but doesn’t want kids and doubts she’ll ever marry. Another thing she adores, she says, is performing in small, progressive cities such as Burlington, Asheville, N.C., and Missoula, Mont., where many people think much the way she does. She’s insanely friendly and generous with her time. When Winstead took a break from her moment of Zen to talk with Seven Days, the phone call lasted more than an hour.

and then she would call and tell me the Final Jeopardy! [question], and we’d put the bumper in the show. I thought she’d just give me the answer, and we’d post it as is ... But my mother’s rantings on the answering machine were funnier than her just doing Final Jeopardy. She’d be, like, “Uh, this Russian person wrote a book about a ‘goo-lag,’ and I can’t possibly tell you how to write his name out, but it’s Aleksandr and then a whole long name with an S.” We’d have her asking the Final Jeopardy question in the most convoluted way. It was hilarious.

SD: How’d you get started in comedy? LW: When I was in college [at the University of Minnesota], I was more the class cynic than the class clown. And so somebody dared me to go to an open mic when I was in my junior year ... I did it on sheer adrenaline. I did OK. And then I got cocky, and I did it a second time and bombed! Like, a thousand deaths. And so I was, like, “OK, now I’m 50-50” ... So, the next time I got up on stage, I did not bomb but did not kill. So then my curiosity was piqued. And I kept doing it to see where I was, and before I knew it, I was developing a routine ... And then I dropped out of college.

Many people forget that that was the first time George Bush had been held to hear his record and wasn’t able to leave. He wasn’t able to orchestrate the crowd like he’d been doing in the rallies ... And the media had to hear it, as well. And so it was very interesting, because people

SD: What do you see as your primary job? making people laugh? Informing them? Speaking truth to power? LW: I think it’s a combination of all those things. I’m not an expert, but I am an informed citizen. First and foremost, I’m a comedian. Through my comedy, if I’m going to talk about the news of the day or give insights on where I see hypocrisy, I have to look at all sides of an issue and then figure out where the hypocrisy lies ... With media that go unchecked, so that sometimes blatant untruths are thrown out there, I think it’s really fun to gather people together so you know you’re not alone when you hear crazy shit ... So when Obama says, “We’ve seen what happens when administrations hire the very corporate interests who set up that policy, and that’s got to stop.” Hello? Did you just say that? Really? Tim Geithner? Ken Salazar? You hear these things, and instead of people injuring themselves by hitting their heads against walls, I’d like to provide the cushion. SD: As 24-hour cable news shows and morning talk shows get more surreal by the day, does that make your job easier or harder? LW: It makes my job sadder. It makes my job easier because I do a lot about the media anyway ... I find the media are as complicit in the nation’s biggest problems as the direct people in the deal.

A lot of times people will talk ... about FOX and Beck and Rush. That’s the WWE of cable news: the big, loud stuff. But sometimes I feel the more dangerous thing is when you have these talking-head commentators who don’t have a command of the facts, and they’re not journalists. So, when someone comes on [their show], they don’t have the facts or resources to ask a follow-up question or challenge them ... Sometimes I think I should just vote for Republicans, because they keep me in business. SD: The Dems are no great shakes, either. LW: When Obama won, I was interviewed by a lot of people who said, “So, what are you going to do? Your guy won.” I thought, Um, he’s a politician ... When people said that to me, there was a tinge of racism in that statement. Because what I was hearing was, “Hey, there’s a black president. Are you going to make black jokes?” Why would I make black jokes? I don’t care that he’s black. He’s a politician who takes money from lobbyists ... When you’re expanding wiretapping and you haven’t closed down Gitmo, and you’ve escalated the war in Afghanistan and you received the Nobel Prize on the same day, there’s a lot of fodder about you.

Lee, do you really need that fourth hour? ... They may do a story on the war in Iraq that’s three and a half minutes. But then they’ll do a story about the healthiest cocktails. Or, “Does this jewelry make my butt look fat?” I don’t know what those shows’ priorities are, but it’s like theater of the absurd. It’s Kabuki. SD: I understand you’re a foodie. LW: Yeah, I’m a big foodie. I’m a cook, I watch foodie shows, I love farmers markets. I also love junk. I never had it as a kid. My mother was that woman who cooked everything. And it wasn’t all healthy, trust me. There was plenty of tuna casserole and all that. But we never had bad food. It was too expensive. So when I got into college, I tasted McDonald’s for the first time. I still get a hankering for it. About once a year I’ll get their French fries and eat ’em in my underwear like a psycho drug addict. It’s like Requiem for a French Fry in my apartment. It’s pretty bad.

Resort Renewed At today’s Trapp Family Lodge, the hills are alive with the sound of ... mountain biking. B y L auren Ober

SEVEN DAYS 30 FEATURE

As the resort’s vice president and director of operations, von Trapp has the responsibility of overseeing its many moving parts. Currently, the 2400-acre property supports hiking, tennis, fishing, organic gardens, a herd of Scottish Highland cattle, yoga, maple sugaring, music concerts and a host of other activities. Von Trapp recently presided over the conversion of the Austrian Tea Room to a “DeliBakery” and, while the brewery was his father’s dream, it was the younger von Trapp who saw the idea to fruition. “It’s definitely been revitalized,” von Trapp says of the resort. “It’s partly been because of the combination of my sister and me returning.” He’s referring to his older sister, Kristina, 40, who lives on the property and teaches many of the resort’s ski clinics in the winter. Both siblings help lead tours of the family’s property, a novelty relished by many fans of The Sound of Music, the 1965 movie loosely based on the von Trapp family history. The von Trapp heirs’ return to their birthright has not only punched up the energy level at the resort; it has reinvigorated their father. Johannes von Trapp now has family he can depend on to implement ideas he’s been sitting on, says Sam: “A lot of it is my father getting more excited day to day. The fact that we’re all working together has given him the motivation.” With the national explosion of craft brewing in the past decade, one can see why the prospect of a top-flight microbrewery taking up

residence on the property makes the family a little giddy. The DeliBakery, where the brewery is housed, is the former residence of von Trapp’s uncle, Werner. To accommodate the large brewing tanks, the structure had to be completely remodeled. Brewer Van Anda, who previously worked at Vermont Soy and Rock Art Brewery, oversaw the process. “They hired me and then said, ‘Go build it,’” he says. And build it he did. Initially, Van Anda and the von Trapps decided on a seven-barrel brewery. But Van Anda pushed them to double the size, and now he’s glad he did. In just two months of brewing, Trapp Lager has become one of the most popular Vermont beers on tap in the area. Brewed with water from the resort’s artesian spring, it’s found in an astounding 75 bars and restaurants

in Vermont, and the brewery can barely keep up with the demand. “I don’t think any of us were expecting it to take off this quickly,” Van Anda says. “It has a lot more potential than we thought.” While most breweries in New England specialize in ales, Trapp’s operation will focus on lager in the Austrian style — characterized by lighter, crisper flavor with lower alcohol content. In Austria, Van Anda says, villages have their own lager breweries that craft fresh lager daily. Since lager takes six to 10 weeks to brew, it is somewhat more laborious than ale, which is typically ready to imbibe after 30 days. But it’s worth it, says Van Anda. No one else is doing lager in the region, and in the short time it’s been out, Trapp Lager has cornered the market. The brewery currently offers three beers on tap: a pale helles, a medium-bodied Vienna and a fresh summer lager. The dunkel, a darker wheat beer, will be available later in the summer. And if everything goes as planned, later iterations of the lagers will be made using hops grown on the von Trapp property. “Fortunately, we hit it at the right time when there was a niche in the market,” Van Anda says.

n a drizzly weekday morning, Allen Van Anda pumps gallons of mash into a lauter tun where the liquid strained from the grains will eventually be turned into lager. It’s early still, but things have been cooking in Van Anda’s brewery since 6 a.m. If this day is anything like an average workday, he’ll probably be here until close to midnight. The lanky brewmaster doesn’t mind the long days. He’s making great beer, he reasons. Plus, his office, a garage below a deli/bakery, comes with a great view. Even on a rainy day, the vista — a lush meadow with a backdrop of evergreens near the Trapp Family Lodge — is spectacular. Van Anda, 32, is the inaugural brewer of Trapp Lager, the newest offering from the iconic Stowe resort. The appearance of the brewery, which opened in April to wide acclaim, is just one of a number of changes aimed at diversifying the four-season resort. Earlier this season, the Lodge opened its ski trails to public mountain biking for the first time. While the Trapp Family Lodge of the past might have been steeped in Nordic skiing traditions and Austrian alpine charm, today’s resort is contemporary, with far more to do than sit and admire the view. The shining up of the Trapp Family Lodge has a lot to do with the return of Sam von Trapp, the energetic son of the resort’s president, Johannes von Trapp, and grandson of the famed Baron von Trapp and his wife, Maria. After a long absence teaching skiing in Colorado and Chile, Sam von Trapp came back to the family business in 2007. Von Trapp is about as enthusiastic a man as you’re likely to meet. When he speaks, his mouth naturally peels into a smile, making him seem excited about nearly everything he says. With his rugged good looks and athletic stature, it’s no wonder he appeared on People magazine’s Top 50 Bachelors list in 2001 — a piece of press that continues to elicit ribbing from his friends. Today the 37-yearold is a bachelor no more: He married his longtime Chilean girlfriend, Elisa Sepúlveda, last year.

off on the project. The resort now rents out a fleet of 40 Giant mountain bikes and offers lessons for beginner riders. Ed Stahl, executive director of the Stowe Area Association, is thrilled to see the new addition to Trapp’s. Mountain biking is an untapped tourist market in the Stowe area, he says. “The changes are great. They add a lot of value to our Stowe community,” Stahl adds. Sam von Trapp sees potential in finding ways to make the resort’s new programs work in synergy. The draw isn’t just the bike ride; it’s the après at the brewery’s beer garden — or maybe a postride yoga class taught by his wife, who runs the resort’s yoga program. He sees Trapp’s as offering one-stop shopping in a way that feels more organic than the setup of other all-inclusive resorts. Plus, the resort’s new options engage the local community and make it open to everyone, says Ski Vermont’s Jen Butson. The family’s efforts to broaden their appeal are paying off. Increasingly, more young families and folks interested in athletic vacations are visiting Trapp Family Lodge, Butson says. Those changes seem to reflect the priorities of the new generation of von Trapps. But don’t expect this growth and change to make Trapp’s Disney Worldesque. Maintaining the integrity of their land is of paramount importance to the von Trapps, who continue to cling to their history as responsible hoteliers, foresters, ranchers and agriculturists. For them, says Sam von Trapp, taking care of the land verges on the sacred: “All these things we’re doing,” he says, “are consistent with my family’s philosophy.” m

nother new venture Sam von Trapp is hoping to hit at the right time is mountain biking. While the brewery was Johannes’ creation, the Lodge’s new mountain bike program is his son’s baby. Since the late 1960s, the resort has won praise for its Nordic skiing program, the first of its kind in the United States. In the summer, those ski trails are typically used only for walking and hiking. But beginning this season, the resort is opening its trails to mountain bikes. Nearly 20 miles of double track and six miles of single track will be available for public use, with more to come as trails are built. In late 2007, members of the Vermont Mountain Bike Association pitched the family the idea of adding mountain biking to the activities on their property. VMBA has long been working on creating the Vermont Mountain Bike Ride Center, a sustainable trail network of more than 75 miles of contiguous trails from Little River State Park in Waterbury to the Cotton Brook area of Mount Mansfield State Forest. Part of the Ride Center will cut across Trapp Family Lodge land. Sam von Trapp sees mountain biking as a natural counterpart to the crosscountry skiing the resort offers. But it took some convincing to bring Johannes on board. The elder von Trapp, a trained forester, worried about the impact of wheels on the trails and the potential for erosion. But, after talking with VMBA president Patrick Kell and master trailbuilder Hardy Avery, Johannes signed

5:30 p.m. Dad leaves work early to ensure that he doesn’t miss the first pitch of tonight’s Lake Monsters game. 6:00 p.m. Mom makes mac ’n’ cheese because the children are too hungry to wait until they get to Centennial Field to eat. 6:50 p.m. The family arrives at Trinity College and, as usual, the

“PARKING LOT FULL” signs are out. 6:55 p.m. Dad parks at [location of secret parking space redacted at request of author]. He’s not really sure if it’s “legal,” but decides to risk it for the 347th time. 7:00 p.m. Baby Girl is already at least 50 yards behind the rest of the family as they walk briskly down Colchester

Avenue toward the ballpark.

Dad settles in to enjoy the game.

7:02 p.m. Dad tells the rest of the family to keep walking while he goes back and picks up Baby Girl.

7:55 p.m. Baby Girl has to go to the bathroom. And she has to do it now. 8:07 p.m. On returning from the bathroom, Dad is informed by No. 1 Son that he, too, needs to go to the bathroom. And he has to do it now.

7:08 p.m. Dad contemplates the meaning of “CUT CONSUMPTION, NOT FORESKIN,” painted on the house across from the ballpark, while waiting for the crossing guard to stop traffic. 7:12 p.m. Winded from walking briskly with Baby Girl in his arms, Dad catches his first glimpse of the scoreboard and sees that the Lake Monsters are already down 3-0. 7:18 p.m. Dad and Baby Girl arrive at their usual seats. No. 1 Son is sitting on a stack of four seat cushions and refuses to give up any of them. 7:19 p.m. The Fans Behind Them display the giveaway items that the family would have received had they arrived at the ballpark around the time that Mom

decided to make mac ’n’ cheese. 7:24 p.m. Dad takes orders for his first run to the concession stand. 7:28 p.m. Dad runs into his favorite usher and receives the usher’s latest handout on his effort to bring varsity baseball back to the University of Vermont. 7:39 p.m. While standing in line at concessions, Dad realizes that he has no cash, so he goes to the souvenir stand and purchases $20 in Monster Money with his credit card.

7:51 p.m. Dad returns to the usual seats and delivers the goods. He learns that in his absence the Lake Monsters scored their first run on a walk, a wild pitch and an error, making the score 6-1. 7:53 p.m. After borrowing the scorecard from The Fans Behind Them to see if he recognizes any names on the opposing team’s roster,

9:24 p.m. Dad returns to the usual seats and delivers the goods. He learns that in his absence a Lake Monster has hit a two-run homer, making the score 9-3. 9:28 p.m. Dad takes No. 1 Son to the game where he hits a wiffle ball off a stream of air. Despite making good contact, No. 1 Son fails to hit the ball into any of the holes and returns dejectedly to the usual seats. 9:35 p.m. The family’s favorite vendor returns, this time bearing Chessters. In a move that he learned from The Fans Behind Them, No. 1 Son asks ( just as he did at the previous game, and the 10 before that), “What is a Chesster?” The vendor gives his usual response, “It’s an ice-cream-cookie thing,” drawing the usual snickers from The Fans Behind Them. 9:36 p.m. No. 1 Son negotiates for a Chesster, explaining that, unlike Baby Girl, he hasn’t had any Dippin’ Dots. 9:41 p.m. No. 1 Son falls asleep within 30 seconds of ﬁnishing his Chesster.

Iranian dishes change the take-out landscape in Johnson B Y A L I CE L EVI T T

JEB WALLACE-BRODEUR

arah Oberlender is a city girl. She talks quickly and excitedly about how in her native Tehran, Iran, “we didn’t take taxi or anything; we’d just go out and there’s bank, grocery, pharmacy — everything was around.” Life in Cambridge, Vt., has been a bit of an adjustment. “When I came here — oh, my god … 25 minutes drive to grocery? What is that?” she says, laughing. Luckily, Oberlender doesn’t have to go far for her native cuisine. In May, she opened Farah’s Middle Eastern Foods on Main Street in Johnson. There she shares the indigenous comfort food she learned to make under the tutelage of her mother and five olde r sisters. It’s not quite what you’d expect to find in a New England village too small for a traffic light, but Lamoille County seems happy to soak in the saffron scent emanating from the take-out spot.

Farah Oberlender

OBERLENDER NEVER WORRIED ABOUT NOT HAVING FORMAL TRAINING IN THE KITCHEN;

SEVEN DAYS

06.16.10-06.23.10

SEVENDAYSVT.COM

EDITOR’S NOTE: There’s a world of great eats hidden along Vermont’s roadways. Samosas and kimchi are making inroads into the land of maple and cheddar. Alice Levitt chronicles the diaspora in her Seasoned Traveler series.

For many Americans, Persian cuisine has romantic associations — and, as it happens, a love story first brought Oberlender to the U.S. In 2003, her cousin Farah Steiner, who was working at IBM in Essex at the time, contacted her in Iran to ask if she would be interested in meeting an American. The man, who Steiner thought might be a perfect match for her Iranian cousin, was a technician at the Essex offices named Jeff Oberlender. After a whirlwind courtship consisting of exchanged photos and emails, Jeff and Farah, née Akhoundi, agreed to meet. Since Jeff feared that, just two years after 9/11, he’d be “a sitting duck” for anti-American violence in Iran, the couple scheduled what Jeff calls a “blind date” in Istanbul. They hit it off and quickly married so they could share a hotel room without breaking religious law. The Muslim clerics conducting the marriage held a phone up to the proceedings so the bride’s family in Iran could hear the ceremony. The couple later renewed their vows at home

The result was a catering company called JFK Creations, under whose umbrella Oberlender soon started selling Farah’s Middle Eastern Foods to farmers market customers. Beginning with the Milton market, within two years she expanded to offer her delicacies to eaters in Johnson, Morrisville, Jericho, Hardwick and Highgate. This year, Waterbury will also get a taste, though Milton will not. Oberlender never worried about not having formal training in the kitchen; “In Iran, everyone can cook,” she says. But she admits that in her first year of business, she had a lot to learn. “Between me and my five sisters, I was the worst cook. The food wasn’t 100 percent perfect,” she says. “With work, I got better and better.” Each market where she plies her trade has its own favorites, Oberlender says.

“IN IRAN, EVERYONE CAN COOK,” SHE SAYS. THE SEASONED TRAVELER in Vermont, then in a Canadian mosque. “I have lots of documents for weddings!” Farah Oberlender says. Before Oberlender left Tehran for good, her sisters filled a suitcase with a carefully bubble-wrapped wedding present: a goldplated samovar. Today it sits in a place of honor at Farah’s, where she dispenses dark Sri Lankan tea to guests. Above the samovar hangs one of several heirloom rugs sent by Oberlender’s family as birthday and Christmas gifts for her 3-and-a-half-yearold son, Kevin. The Persian tea ceremony, says Oberlender, dates back thousands of years.

Growing up, her family sipped from elegant cups paired with spreads of cookies and fruit every day at 5 p.m. Farah’s offers a similarly civilized experience at any time of day. It’s best matched with a dessert such as ranginak, a high-calorie indulgence of pitted dates stuffed with walnuts and topped with cinnamon and saffron-infused halwa. In Iran, Oberlender worked as an insurance clerk but was always a passionate cook, accustomed to preparing in bulk for her family of 10. In Vermont, she devoted her time to raising Kevin, but in 2008 she decided to try her hand at sharing her native foods with her new neighbors.

Jericho customers love luleh kebabs, lightly seasoned lamb sausages with Technicolorgreen lettuce and a lightly citrusy cucumber-and-tomato salsa. They’re stuffed into pitas baked fresh each day at Hardwick’s Magic Spoon Bakery. In Hardwick itself, Oberlender says, all of her crisp falafel sandwiches sell out in 40 minutes, no matter how many trays she brings. Not that Oberlender herself is usually the one lugging those trays these days. She’s hired a prep cook, and at the Johnson take-out business, which she opened to satisfy rabid fans in need of a Farah’s fix year round, she gets help doling out everything from rice dishes to sandwiches. Her landlord, Jack Slagle, is one of her biggest aides. He and his wife, Roo, used to own now-defunct Roo’s Natural Foods, which occupied Farah’s current space. The former grocery is now dominated

Winooski residents have long bemoaned their lack of a place to get groceries downtown. That’s about to end: wInooskI Falls markET & DElI is set to open in six weeks, says co-owner larry ronDEau. Builders are hard at work filling what was just a shell with everything Rondeau and his business partner, laurIE ChICoInE, need to open a full grocery and deli, complete with a menu of soups, sandwiches, hot food and creemees. Rondeau and Chicoine previously owned Simone’s Market & Deli in Shelburne. Both Winooski-ites themselves, they saw the “Your Business Here” signs in the Keen’s Crossing building as a perfect opportunity to take the next step after they decided to close Simone’s this winter. They lucked out; the space destined for the market is the last one in the building that can accommodate the hood system necessary to run a kitchen. Rondeau and Chicoine met while working as cooks at Winooski’s Our Lady of Providence Residence, a convent and assisted-living facility. Rondeau says he and Chicoine will prepare some of the sisters’ faves at the market, including oft-requested soups and Reuben sandwiches. For the more profane among us, Rondeau also plans on making Memphis-style pulled pork and Texas beef brisket. He’ll use the pork in a spicy, Cajun-style sandwich, also filled with chicken, two kinds of sausage and hot peppers. More traditional sandwiches will feature turkey roasted in-house. Expect “an extensive line” of panini and burgers. Rondeau says he anticipates using local produce and baked goods when he can, though he adds that, with all the improvements he’s making to the space — not to mention buying a creemee machine — “Money is gonna be strained for a little while.” For the same reason, he and Chicoine expect to hire only a few helpers early on, and to make many products from scratch. Those will include biscuits and jam, perfect for people who want something to grab and go before hopping on a bus at the nearby stop. Sounds like a lot for a beginning business to take on — and Rondeau doesn’t dispute it. “That’s kind of my problem,” he says. “I have too many good ideas.”

In the spirit of educating diners about local products, says Murphy, samples of the herbs and lettuces Rustico’s serves are growing in window boxes at the restaurant. The actual produce on the plate, however, will come from local farms. The team is taking pains to make the new restaurant feel like it’s not in an outlet center. A glass-topped rotunda covers the space outside. The skylights will shield enough tables to seat 40. Plantings of flowers and veggies will obscure the view of the parking lot, says Murphy. All the better for a venture he hopes will “instill that sense of community that seems to be waning nowadays.”

Murphy, a Rhode Island native, has brought with him a concept unfamiliar to most Vermonters. Rustico’s will offer homemade pastas and sauces family-style, in quarterpound, half-pound and fullpound sizes. That’s common practice at high-volume Italian restaurants in his home state, says Murphy. At Rustico’s, chefs will churn out pastas including orecchiette, linguine and farfalle bathed in sauces such as Bolognese, basil pesto and pomodoro. One dish, known as The Tour of Italy, includes tastes of all of the above. Sausage and meatballs will be sold individually, so diners can exercise portion control and dole out the meat as they see fit. Desserts and appetizers, such as antipasti platters and bruschetta, can be plated for one or two. As part of the

hef Michel Mahe probably owns more restaurants than anybody else in Vermont. But his oldest, Black Sheep Bistro, is still his baby: “It is my little bistro and I love it,” he says. “It’s probably the closest to my heart.” The child of French immigrants (a chef and a waitress), Mahe hung out in eateries from an early age and has worked at renowned spots in New York City and San Francisco. But when he moved to Vermont in 1999 for a stint as a partner in Starry Night Café, he found his home. Now, his three restaurants and one bar sate hundreds of Vermonters and tourists each week. Because he has talented teams running The Bearded Frog and Bobcat Café & Brewery, Mahe can devote most of his time to Black Sheep, where he prepares what he calls simple fare. “It’s about a fair

meal for a fair price,” he says of his flagship. “I’m not trying to be an artist; I’m just trying to give you good food.” But the entrepreneurial chef — who has a degree from Cornell University’s School of Hotel Administration — is never far from his next project. Right now, he and some of his young staffers are pondering the concept of a restaurant called Local, which would use “100 percent local [products], within reason,” Mahe says. He’s been “poking around” Middlebury in search of a place for the new eatery but hasn’t settled on one, he says, despite rumors to the contrary. “I guess if I stand in front of an empty space long enough, people think I’m opening a restaurant there.” We’re fascinated by Vermont’s own Napoléon of the restaurant scene, so we decided to grill him…

A Chef: Michel Mahe Age: 45 Restaurants: Black Sheep Bistro and Up Top Tavern in Vergennes, The Bearded Frog in Shelburne, Bobcat café & Brewery in Bristol Restaurant ages: Black Sheep: 8 years; Up Top: 1; Bearded Frog: 5; Bobcat: “i’ve owned it for three.” Training: “i’ve been in this business since i was born. i worked in my parents’ restaurant, le cheval Blanc, as a dishwasher when i was 10 and ran the restaurant when they went on vacation when i was 16.

If you could have any chef in the world prepare a meal for you, who would it be? Anthony Bourdain. When I was a chef in New York, my favorite restaurant was Les Halles — when Bourdain was there, no matter how crazy he was, it was the perfect steak frites kind of place. I used to go there twice a week and loved it. My girlfriend at the time was a vegetarian, and she just had to deal.

Sounds like you grew up with a varied palate. Is there anything you don’t eat? I’m lactose intolerant, which limits my ability to eat cheeses and cream. When I was a kid, I’d put my spoon and my glass and my chocolate in the fridge because I liked things cold, and then I’d drink a big glass of chocolate milk and have cramps so bad I had to roll on the floor. It was like a ritual. My parents didn’t know [about lactose intolerance]. When we talked about it in my first class at Cornell in biology, I thought, That sounds like me, and I pulled away from [eating so much dairy]. It’s very hard. I love food, and [even if it has dairy in it], I will cook it and I will taste it and I will eat it.

SEVENDAYSVt.com

How did your family eat when you were growing up? My parents lived in Manhattan. They would stay at an apartment above the restaurant. [When we were 12 and 10], my brother and I would stay at our house. They’d come home on Sunday night and bring us filet mignon, roasted duck, sauces and scallops, and we’d take care of ourselves [during the week]. [When I was even younger], sometimes my father would bring home the special of the day between shifts — everybody worked doubles then. He’d come home at four with things like scallop scampi and duck confit. He’d say, “Put it in the pan, and when you smell it, it’s ready.” So I’d put on the flame, and I could see the fire — but I was 6, and I was too short to see inside the pan. I would just stir and stir until I could smell it. It’s almost child abuse these days, but then it was another time, and I loved it. My brother and I were eating specials from a great NYC restaurant for dinner!

What’s your favorite food? I’m a steak frites kind of guy. Give me a good steak and good French fries and I’m a very happy man. Some of my happiest meals have been that: no sauce, no frills, just a straightforward meal. I hate to say that, but it’s a fact.

by a china cabinet and a long table stocked with Iranian delights. At 3 p.m. on a Friday, several groups of customers line up at the buffet table. Though Farah’s does a bang-up business in quick takeout for college kids, this line consists mainly of middle-aged locals. Oberlender says that a surprising number of her clients, many of whom are artists associated with the Vermont Studio Center just down the road, have traveled to Iran and compare her offerings favorably with those they’ve tried abroad. For many others, it’s the novelty of the flavors that draws them. The first thing customers see from the doorway is a plate of baklava. Unlike the Greek iteration of the dish with which most Americans are familiar, the Persian version gets most of its flavor from saffron, pistachios and rosewater, though it is lightly sweetened with honey. “Two dollars might seem like a lot for a piece of baklava, but I use very expensive ingredients,” Oberlender says. Forget the ethnic eateries that settle for cheap produce. Oberlender gets everything she can from local farms, a fringe benefit of spending so much time with producers at farmers markets. Her lamb dishes are made from animals raised at Morrisville’s Winding Brook Farm, which is known for its openness to halal slaughtering practices. Beef, which she mixes with lamb in many recipes, originates at Bill Hill Farm in East Hardwick. How does Vermont meat measure up to Iran’s? Our lamb isn’t as good, Oberlender says, but beef here is better than what she ate growing up. Overall, she’s enthusiastic about Vermont produce and loves that so much of what she purchases is not only local but organic. It makes it easier to “make everything perfect like I cook for my family. Everything is healthy and nothing is frozen,” says Oberlender. With the exception of the baklava, her highly refined dishes are far from pricey. A more-than-fist-sized beefand-lamb meatball called koofteh retails for $2.50. The tender meat, mixed with split peas and rice, melts in the mouth. The mildly spicy tomato-based sauce in which it lolls gets its dominant flavors from tarragon and mint rather than the red fruit. A plate-filling portion of tah chin is $4.50. The dish is a rice casserole rich with saffron and topped with barberries — an exotic fruit to Americans. Fresh, it looks like something your mother would tell you was poisonous. Dry, the ruby-red morsels resemble smaller, sourer cranberries. They rest like jewels atop the aromatic yellow rice, which is crisp on the outside, soft on the inside, and filled with chicken, eggs and yogurt. The dolmas ($1) at Farah’s contain

split peas, a Persian staple, rather than the ground meat you’d find in the Mediterranean version. The mellow filling is beautifully complemented by a brash lemon sauce, which soaks into the grapeleaf wrappings. The contents of veggie “samosehs” would look familiar to any fan of Indian food, with potatoes and peas dominating the veggie mix. However, Oberlender’s Iranian take on the dish is more heartily spiced than the lightly curried samosas of Indian cuisine. Her version is speckled with chile flakes for a bite that remains on the lips after a taste. Oberlender offers the samosehs with a spoonful of minty, tzatziki-like yogurt-and-cucumber sauce she calls “mast-o khiar” in Farsi. When conversing in her native tongue, Oberlender peppers her sentences with French, also commonly spoken by the Iranian upper classes. The cultural interchange between the Mediterranean and the Middle East displays itself in her food as well. Her specialties include four different types of lasagna she offers on her evergrowing and -changing menu. Hearty moussaka and tall pans of buttery spanakopita fill chafing dishes at the long table from which dishes at Farah’s are doled out and packed up. Oberlender doesn’t want to stop with takeout. She says she hopes that by fall her various businesses will have earned her enough to furnish and staff a full-service, sit-down eatery. One day, she says, she’d like to have at least 20 different meals available at once. For now, about a dozen seems like plenty. She’d also like to make more of her products in-house. In Iran, her eldest sister, whom Oberlender calls the family’s best cook, taught her to make pickles, jams, and even tomato paste and vinegar from scratch. Another ambition: to find a way to import Persian rice to Vermont. Oberlender currently uses Indian basmati, but there’s lust in her voice as she describes the room-filling aromas of the Iranian grain: “Our rice is perfect, number one in the world.” It’s fair to say Oberlender’s Persian cooking is number one in its class in Vermont. But the new American has loftier goals for her elegant eats. “My big wish is to one day have an order from Mr. President,” she says with a hearty laugh. “I love Obama.” m

continued from before the classified section. page 37 Describe your best meal ever. My grandmother cooked a hare that my grandfather caught in a snare. It was a goodbye dinner [for my family]. She cooked the stew in a big pot on the fireplace and just threw in more water and more butter — it went on for hours. Everything was mush, but the flavors were incredible.

You’re trying to impress somebody with your culinary prowess. What do you make? There’s something about boeuf bourguignon with a good piece of crusty bread. If I invited you to my house for dinner in winter, that’s what I’d make.

What kind of music do you like to listen to in the kitchen? 8v-Arcana061610.indd I’m known as the “no-noise chef.” If the music isn’t off within two minutes of me walking in, I throw the radio out the back door. I’ve probably thrown 20 radios — it’s a very funny thing. There are kitchens where I don’t notice the music when I walk in, because it’s low, and after a few minutes I start getting angry. When the music goes off, I’m fine. I can’t do two things at the same time. When I’m cooking, there’s this noise in my head that I love, and I can’t do anything else. It’s Zen cooking: Be the food.

What’s the hardest thing about being a chef? Missing those special moments with my family. I never cared before [now], because everybody I dated or was friends with was in the restaurant business, and I was raised in a family that was part of that world. What’s your favorite junk food? Give me a Kit Kat and I’m happy. New York chefs are trained and paid to be very intense assholes — I’m more mellow now. One day in New York I was being an asshole, and my chefs all threw Kit Kats at me, and I started laughing. It brought me down.

If you could choose your last meal, what would it be? I would make myself a boeuf bourguignon, and I’d cook it all day and eat it all by myself. m

It’s the hardest thing to do, because you can overcook it and it’s dead, or you can undercook it. It’s all about when you put things in and how you put things in, and the temperature. When the final thing comes out, the meat should be perfectly cooked and soft, but the carrots should be al dente. When I’m doing it, two out of three times I get it right. The third time, I was watching TV with my kid and forgot about it.

What do you think other Vermont restaurants could do better? I think the hard part in Vermont is staffing your restaurant, whether the kitchen or the front of the house. It’s very difficult; there’s a small market [of workers]. Writing menus and service are difficult. You’re trying to satisfy locals — who are who they are — and some of the richest people in the world, who have houses on the lake. The best server knows when to say, “How you doing?” versus “Good evening.” When you see somebody who is obviously vacationing from Basin Harbor [Club] and is used to a more classic service, then [you] treat them that way.

Ted Leo & the Pharmacists

SD: Well, I’m afraid we’re a lazy bunch. But, obviously, you have been working with the same core of people for a while now. What does it mean to you to be able to do that, and also to have [guitarist] James Canty back for the new record? TL: It’s meant different things at different times. The ﬁrst two records I did with Lookout! [Records], The Tyranny of Distance and Hearts of Oak, have this looser vibe. It’s, like, write songs and get together with some people to play them. And they have their charm. But you can see pretty quickly in the next few records how the songwriting itself became tighter. And when I began engaging with my own songwriting, at a certain point I began to know who was going to be playing with me, and I would write with them in mind. SD: You ﬁnished The Brutalist Bricks before signing to Matador. Was it liberating to work on the record without deadline pressure? TL: Without a doubt. It all came together pretty quickly. But, going into it kind of off the cuff and not really having a plan, did bring a certain… SD: Spontaneity? TL: Maybe. It just felt a little freer. Everything we did felt a little freer. I mean, it’s

not like there are these crazy, psychedout jams. It still sounds like one of our records. And in mixing, we deﬁnitely took the X-ACTO knife and cut away more than we felt we needed to add. But again, we had the time to [vet] a lot of our ideas, some of which stuck and some of which didn’t. SD: Bricks has frequently been called a “return to form.” I ﬁnd that funny, because it implies that you lost your form, which I don’t think you did. Lazy journalists strike again? TL: That’s another thing I’ve been biting my tongue on writing one of those “Hey, journalists” posts. At a certain point, my previous record [Rapid Response] was labeled as being this sprawling mess. I utterly reject that, and it actually makes me angry, to tell you the truth. It’s a double album. It’s supposed to be long. It’s supposed to be sprawling. That was the idea. But that’s become another one of those narratives where people are, like, “Oh, yeah, well, that record was a disappointment.” And it doesn’t get a fair shake. SD: Well, the songwriting on Bricks Catch Ted Leo and the Pharmacists at the Higher Ground Ballroom this Sunday, June 20, with Screaming Females and Pretty & Nice, 9 p.m. $13/15. AA

does seem more focused. TL: The thing is, I feel like I actually applied less focus. I tend to spend a lot of time making sure that, at least for me, I’m crafting every bit of meaning and meta-meaning and submeaning into every line of every song. But I didn’t really worry about that as much on this record. I tried not to overwrite or overthink things. “Where Was My Brain” is a good example of that, both lyrically and musically. It’s not that it’s not saying anything serious. But the whole thing is pretty humorous, including the music. The music is kind of an inside joke, because it’s maybe the simplest song I’ve ever written, and kind of purposely. It’s, like, hey, we all like punk rock. So why mess with it? I kinda like it the way it is, and garage bands get away with it. Let’s do it. SD: Those lyrics feel that way, too, kind of intentionally ragged. TL: I threw these kind of humorous lyrics about serious things down. And in the past I would have tried to tweak them into something that was just packed and dense. But I felt more confident leaving them as they were and walking away.

Salvage Love New York City composer Terry Dame’s avant garde worldmusic ensemble ELECtriC JunkyarD gaMELan takes the idea of “found sound” to a whole new level. Not content to fuse their wide-ranging global influences using the limited instruments at their disposal, the quartet built their own using, well, anything within arm’s reach. The result is a veritable orchestra of innovative instruments including, among many others, the “big barp” (an electric rubber-band harp), kachapitar (an electric zither/ sitar combo) and the clayrimba (a three-octave-tuned clay-pot marimba). This Saturday the group sets up shop at Montpelier’s sonic lost and found, the Langdon Street Café.

They came. They saw. They scatted. And then they packed up their caravans and lit out for festivals in far-flung locales with exotic names like “Ottawa” and “Montréal” and, um, “Rochester.” And so here we are, left alone with only our memories now that the curtain has dropped on the 2010 Burlington Discover Jazz Festival. So, what does it all mean? After lengthy consideration, I have come to this intractable conclusion: I have absolutely no idea. And I’m OK with that. Despite rather absurd presumptions to the contrary from certain readers, I actually enjoy and appreciate jazz. Well, some jazz. A lot, even. Of course, saying simply that you like “jazz” is like saying you enjoy “movies.” But I digress. Over these last 10 days, I caught some truly phenomenal BDJF performances, jazz and otherwise (Anna Pardenik, yoUSAy Placate, Souls’ Calling, Sharon Jones). And I took in some less-than-stellar sets, too — no, I’m not gonna name names. But even more than in recent years, what stood out to me was the electricity around the city in general, almost regardless of the performer. Whether hanging at the back patio at Halvorson’s, catching a high school band on Church Street or basking in a surprise blast of sun at the Waterfront tent, the energy in Burlington was palpable. In fact, several people I spoke with in my travels beyond BDJF shows mentioned it. Something was different about this year’s fest. It’s tough to put a finger on what it was, exactly. And maybe that’s a mystery better left unsolved. What I do know is that none of it would have been possible without the handful of folks — and I really do mean a handful — who work tirelessly behind the scenes pretty much year round to pull this

thing together, and really never get the recognition they deserve. Case in point: At the Sharon Jones show, I caught one longstanding, and pretty highranking member of the BDJF staff clearing trash and recyclables off dirty tables in the VIP area. During the show. That’s dedication. So, to the cast and crew of the 2010 Burlington Discover Jazz Festival, on behalf of a grateful — and frankly, kinda pooped — city, thank you. You’ve done it again. Take a bow.

Sacrificial Lamb

Also taking a curtain call this week but for entirely different reasons — one of which being that said curtain might have been, uh, flammable — is beloved Capital City alt-venue The Lamb Abbey. As first reported by Times-Argus staff writer Thatcher Moats on Thursday, June 10, Montpelier’s building inspector, Glenn Moore, ordered the studio and performance space closed last week due to numerous fire-and safety-code violations. The litany of infractions included a broken sprinkler system, combustible drapes and inadequate exits, among other, less-serious — or at least less-potentiallylife-threatening — transgressions. Obviously, this is a blow to ruin Montpeculiar’s thriving arts and music scenes. But does The Lamb Abbey closing sound a death knell for the multiuse space? Not quite. And maybe quite the contrary. In a recent phone conversation, Abbey cofounder Duffy Gardner sounded surprisingly upbeat. He characterized the closing as merely a “bump in the road,” stopping just short of referring to the locked doors as a blessing in disguise. In the 18 months the space had been operating, Gardner estimates there have been “hundreds” of performances, several drawing upward of 120 people. Clearly,

SEVEN DAYS 42 music

the community had embraced the venue. Recognizing its potential, Gardner says he and his partners had begun planning to expand and legitimize the space when Moore came calling. Those plans included assessing the condition of the facility — though ideally not when the sprinkler system had just broken, which Gardner claims it had when Moore inspected the building. Whoops. “We were moving more from an underground alt-venue to something bigger,” Gardner says, noting that in addition to the in-repair sprinkler system, the venue was equipped with two egresses, emergency lighting, fire alarms and extinguishers. “We were ready to grow,” he says. “We had all those things in place. They just weren’t technically up to code.” Gardner isn’t yet sure how much of an investment will be required to bring the space, which is housed in an old timberframe granite shed about one mile from downtown Montpelier, into compliance. But he seems confident it will happen. “There is more interest now in using the entire building,” he says. Eventually, Gardner envisions an artistic hub sprouting on the banks of the Onion River, possibly using all three buildings at Pioneer Circle. “It could be really exciting,” he muses. For now, Gardner has postponed his upcoming calendar, or begun trying to reschedule several performances slated for the venue at nearby Vermont College, though nothing had been confirmed as of this writing. However, he notes that the Montpelierpalooza Metal Fest slated for Saturday, June 26, will go on as planned … outdoors. “That’s another interesting option,” Gardner says of moving some shows outside the building. Gardner remains optimistic that The Lamb Abbey will be back, and will be better. Eventually, anyway. “We have a chance now to recalibrate,” he says, adding, “This place is a freaking jewel.”

Give ’Em a (Jazz) Hand

Blue Button

• Jazz withdrawal got you down? Might I suggest the Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey release party for their new CD, Stay Gold, at Parima on Wednesday, June 23? • New Local Band Alert! Blue Button, who are playing this Thursday at The Monkey House with local garage-rawk malcontents The Fatal Flaws and badass Nashville garage-psych outfit Jeff the Brotherhood, who fuckin’ rawk. And just what is the story with Blue Button? According to their MySpace page, “Jason wrote some songs and formed a band with his friends.” Well, OK then. Mystery solved! • All right, I should mention that “Jason” is local rocker/karaoke artist extraordinaire Jason Cooley. He’s been in some pretty nifty B-town bands, including The Fags,

Alice Austin

James Kochalka Superstar and Led LO/CO, to name a few. He’s an immensely

talented performer. • Speaking of killer Queen City rockers, B-town expats Alice Austin and Audrey Ryan drop by The Skinny Pancake this Friday for a show that was rescheduled from March, when the crêperie’s renovations went longer than expected. • And, speaking of Kochalka, via Señor Hernandez Records in Amsterdam, the Superstar has just released a doublealbum reissue of sorts, Digital Elf/Kissers, on white vinyl. For the uninitiated, Digital Elf is Kochalka’s most recent album, created using a Game Boy Advance. Kissers is a long-out-of-print soundtrack to his comic book of the same name. And white vinyl? Well, that’s just rad. • Also, Jason’s “friends” are Swale guitarist Eric Olsen, Cave Bees drummer Frank Zamiello, Cave Bees bassist Rebekah Whitehurst and Heloise and the Savoir Faire guitarist James Bellizia. Those guys are good. • New Local Band Alert # 2: Modern Grass Quintet, a bluegrass supergroup featuring members of the Bluegrass Storm, The Cleary Brothers band, Bluegrass Gospel Project and PossumHaw. They’ll debut this Saturday at the Rattling Brook Bluegrass Festival in Belvidere. • Band name(s) of the week: Dick Heaven and Ambitious Tugboat. They’re both fun bands and will share a set at Radio Bean this Saturday. • One more note on Blue Button, just because I found it funny. They describe their sound as, “A million little boys’ hearts breaking all at once for short three-minute outbursts of agony. Usually in E.” • And, last but not least, Manifest Nextome is back. Details next week.

The Feverbreakers, Accentuate Your Face (SELF-RELEASED, CD, DIGITAL DOWNLOAD)

On their debut album, Accentuate Your Face, The Feverbreakers demonstrate that weirdness, if you’ve really, really got it, always counts for something. At their best, the Burlington-based quartet 160 College St., 2nd Floor | 865 (ENVY) 3689 | shearenvyvt.com unites quirk with swagger, recalling early Kings of Leon. Spare, skeletal riffs provide the bone structure for a nimble 16t-shearenvy060910.indd 1 6/7/10 12:10:40 PMrhythm section composed of bassist Elliot Siegel and drummer Julian Douglas. Meanwhile, vocalist Ryan Headley vexes and howls quasi-sensible lyrics. It’s the kind of unhinged sound you associate with dank basement parties gone awry: where slinky bass lines and stinging slide guitar licks — courtesy of lead guitarist Erik Fosse — spackle your eardrums like the condensation on the walls. Where something like the aroma of BO and keg beer that emerges when you open the cellar door permeates your senses. Good rock ’n’ roll should sound, and smell, this way. The Feverbreakers shine when they’re at their weirdest. This is immediately evident on opener “Rodney Funhouse,” an album standout. The song’s circus (or fun-house) groove sounds as though the band decided to open up Les Claypool’s brain and have a 16t-Wclx051910.indd 1 5/14/10 3:11:57 PMlook inside, as Fosse lays down some creepy slide licks. Next is the equally great “Waiting in Line,” in which Headley makes like Tom Waits and raps lines such as, “I’m a bad wolf blowin’ dollhouse today.” Behind him, the band puts down a smooth groove against which Headley’s voice grates like sandpaper on cheddar cheese. His indelible rasp would leave most front men pleading for some Robitussin. The band displays impressive songwriting range. “Bootlegger’s Drum” FEATURING: successfully melds psychedelia to a Celtic MOS DEF, Toubab Krewe, drinking anthem. “When I Go Walking,” a John Brown’s Body, slow waltz featuring mandolin, psychotic Sierra Leone’s Refugee All-Stars guitar licks and great, three-part harmonies, GUEST PERFORMERS: weaves an enrapturing sonic quilt. “Dog Manchild, D’Moja, Sarazino, Bajah & Gawn Train” is a jerky funk jam in which the Dry-eyed Crew, Rough Francis, Ben Headley brings back the rasp and Fosse Arsenal, Dj Don P, Japhy Ryder, Casio again freaks out on the bottleneck.

Torpedo Rodeo, Vs. Sharktopus (RODEOACTIVE RECORDS, CD)

The world needs geeks. They are responsible for some of the greatest contributions to modern society, from computers to airplanes to Star Wars episodes IV, V and VI — ignoring, of course, the abominations that were episodes I, II and III. As it turns out, the hopelessly awkward, sci-fi obsessed and typically dateless among us are valuable on a local level as well. Exhibit A: Vs. Sharktopus, the terrific debut album from the Burlingtonbased trio and self-described geeks Torpedo Rodeo. “Baby Grey” introduces both the record and the band’s clear affinity for Camper Van Beethoven/Cracker/David Lowery. FYI, geeks love Camper Van Beethoven, Cracker and David Lowery. Max Krauss unfurls a jangly, rudimentary guitar line that makes you want to find some skinheads and take them bowling. “The baby’s in the car, she’s following me / Blowing them kisses but she kisses with her teeth. / Looking like a queen in her underwear, / Lady, you’re the world, you don’t even care,” he sings, just as bassist

does just that, aided by Headley, who simply screams his fucking balls off. It’s rather effective. The album is a bit long, at 15 songs and a 50-minute run time. Tunes such as “In Vermont” and “WFUV” sound linear and poppy when stacked up against the best stuff here. Trimming some of the fat would have resulted in a taut, rollicking first outing, filled to the brim with delectable weirdness. Still, Accentuate Your Face demonstrates that The Feverbreakers have an ace of strangeness up their sleeves. Here’s hoping they continue to flaunt it.

Nick Sherman and drummer Jeremiah Johnson jump in with lean and ragged enthusiasm. Breezy, contrapuntal vocal harmonies disguise the searing guitar attack leading into “A Shot in the Dark.” Torpedo Rodeo also boast a healthy affection for the fringes of early Brit pop. This cleverly crafted pop nugget recalls The Kinks’ Ray Davies in his more fancifully subversive moments. “Starlust” gets this critic’s nod for the most subtly funny song of the year. Over a pleasant and lithe guitar riff, Krauss intones, “It was a bit of a stretch but we made it. Yeah we made it. / And the crowd just stood there shouting, “‘Freebird!’ ‘Freebird!’” And then he concludes, “They got what they wanted, but we got the last word, just like we planned / It sure is great being in a cover band.” Clearly, some geeks have good

senses of humor. Torpedo Rodeo’s is evident throughout the album, but especially on Irish reggae-rocker “Dublin” and the jam pastiche “Oscar Man.” Torpedo Rodeo often bill themselves as a surf-punk band. But not until “Don’t Give That Guy Whiskey” do they indulge either genre. That’s too bad, because they are readily equipped to mine either the more traditional surf-rock purveyed by Dick Dale or the genre’s spacier (and geekier) latterday iterations proffered by the likes of Man or Astroman. Both are acknowledged and obvious inﬂuences. The record lags slightly near the end, but not enough to diminish what is, by and large, a thoroughly enjoyable, unpredictable and surprisingly nuanced debut. Indeed, the geek shall inherit the Earth. Or at least The Monkey House this Saturday, when Torpedo Rodeo celebrate the release of Vs. Sharktopus with Human Heads. DAN BOLLES

“we have been here four times and each time it has been a blessing. Dr. Knowlton delivered all of our kids. it has been wonderful.” The Atherton family story is a great CVMC story. You see, Megan and Steve Atherton have had four kids in a little over five years...all born at Central Vermont Medical Center....all delivered by Dr. Knowlton.... all adorable. Big brothers Joseph (5) and Samuel (3) lead the pack, and Ruth (almost 2) is not far behind. On June 4 they were joined by little sister Abagail Hall Atherton. Abagail weighed 7lb/4oz and was 19.5” long. She looks a lot like Ruthie. Lucky little girl. Happy Mom and Dad. Thank you Athertons – we appreciate your faith in us. The family lives in Northfield. Infinite best wishes.

Taking Woodstock Feeling nostalgic for the Summer of Love? Rewind to 1969 at Town Hall Theater’s three-night revival, entitled “Middlebury Does Woodstock.” In the same vein as an earlier shindig, “Middlebury Does the History of Rock and Roll,” locals gather for a far-out musical period primer, this time focusing on the 32 outdoor performances of the immortalized weekend. Area musicians — including Leigh Guptill (pictured), Deb Tier, Don Arnold and Kendra Gratton — channel Joe Cocker, Janis Joplin, Joan Baez, The Who, Creedence Clearwater Revival and others who took the stage more than 40 years ago. Sam Trudel acts as emcee. Slip into a pair of bellbottoms for this bonafide peace-and-love flashback — well, minus the rain. Bonus.

he plucky title of Mary Chapin Carpenter’s chart-topping 1994 country hit, “Shut Up and Kiss Me,” only begins to hint at the enduring verve of the fivetime Grammy-winning singer-songwriter. Her most recent work, compiled on the April-released The Age of Miracles, steps her signature storytelling skills up a notch. Born out of a medical scare in 2007, the folk-rock album — her 12th release — conveys her awe of the world through references to everything from the moon landing to Hurricane Katrina. Longtime fans can follow Carpenter’s evolution when she totes what the Washington Post calls “strapping roots-rock and numinous ballads” to the Flynn this week. MARY CHAPIN CARPENTER

SEVEN DAYS 48 CALENDAR

An edible festival in Stowe has been aging nicely: The 12th Annual Stowe Wine & Food Classic returns as a full-bodied, three-day parade of aged drinks and Vermont cuisine. Beginning with Friday’s wine tasting, bon vivants delve into the subtleties of sipping, comparing 5-year-old wines from Oregon and Burgundy. Saturday’s gala dinner centers on a five-course spread by Trapp Family Lodge chef Brian Tomlinson, with drink pairings by Owen Roe Winery’s David O’Reilly. (Dance off the indulgence to tunes by Penny Arcade.) And Sunday’s grand tasting wrap-up brims with cooking demos (including one by Yankee Magazine senior food editor Annie B. Copps), wine seminars and sampling tables. Each event is a benefit for Lamoille County’s Copley Hospital; talk about guilt-free eating.

Monday, June 21, 7:30 p.m., at Flynn MainStage in Burlington. $29-48. Info, 863-5966. www.flynntix.org

On Friday, Rutland becomes Vermont’s very own “Little Italy,” of sorts. The 16th annual Night of Italian Opera celebrates the boot-shaped country’s musical heritage with a set of well-known Neapolitan love songs by four pro vocalists. Director and pianist William Hicks introduces each composition before separately accompanying soprano Shirley Ritenour, mezzo-soprano Rosalie Sullivan, tenor Mauricio Trejo and baritone Andrew Cummings (who recently sang with the Opera Company of Middlebury) in pieces such as Rossini’s “Non più mesta” from La Cenerentola and Puccini’s “In questa reggia” from Turandot. “The people in the area really love that there is a cultural event like this,” notes College of St. Joseph director of development Deborah Doenges; past audiences have even sung along.

n the Chinese lunar calendar, 2009 was the year of the ox, but in Southeast Asia it was the year of the buffalo. Water buffalo are essential to the agrarian economies of Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam, acting as tractors to plow rice paddies and hitched to carts that haul goods to market. Vermont painter Barbara Wagner visited that corner of the world last year and returned with a wealth of visual information. It generated an exhibit of 17 paintings at Shelburne’s Furchgott Sourdiffe Gallery titled “In the Year of the Buffalo,” which explores the colors, textures and rhythms Wagner discovered on her travels. Wagner has exhibited widely for many years as a bold abstract expressionist. This new body of work, however, includes more concrete images directly drawn from her Asian experiences. “In the Year of the Buffalo — Elephant Wall, Angkor Wat” is a 30-by-36-inch oil that refers to the 12th-century Hindu temple complex in Cambodia. In the painting, hulking pachyderm forms appear as subtle, ghostly shapes in the lowest tier. Wagner’s palette resembles that of masonry. The artist has organized most of her works into shallow-spaced, tiered compositions, evoking walls or screens, and the number five is a recurring motif. Wagner’s artist statement explains its significance: “Because the number five is so important in this culture, all the paintings incorporate five divisions as part of their structure.” Just below the top tier of “In the Year of the Buffalo — Women of Sa Pa,” seven whimsical geometric figures look like fragile paper dolls. The 36-by36-inch oil shows examples of colorful native dress in the delicate little figures. Sa Pa is a pic-

Bay in southern Vietnam. It’s only 12 inches square, but the mixed-media oil on handmade paper and canvas is lively and memorable. Wagner’s brushwork dances over the surface, forming fine vertical lines between the patches of scarlet, blue, ocher, gray and green. “In the Year of the Buffalo #7,” another 12-inch-square oil, has some of the most engaging textures found in the show. Wagner painted the abstraction on linen and embellished its surface with Cambodian silk, bamboo and handmade paper. The picture plane is deeper here, and the composition departs from the fiveband theme found in many of the other works. Dark patches of crimson and red inhabit the lower right corner of the piece, anchoring the boxy shapes built up at left. Passages of fine silk mesh are collaged over the surface, while the vertically oriented bamboo shreds lie buried in the paint. Wagner’s background colors are yellow and gold; deep indigo rounds out the small painting’s sophisticated harmony of hues. Western painters have been attracted to exotic lands at least since Eugène Delacroix captured the colors of North Africa in the 1830s. The art inspired by Wagner’s journey to Southeast Asia fits that tradition, at least conceptually. As the world becomes a smaller and smaller place, Asian and African artists may seek out the “exotic” in Europe and America in their turn. But, for artists entranced with the character of bamboo and silk, the traffic will continue to flow west to east for quite some time. M A R C AWO D EY

“Water” Nothing could be more

vital to human life than H2O. But does it

make for good art? Laura Green and Karyn Vogel thought so when they invited artists from Vermont and beyond to participate in the thematic exhibit. Each was provided with an identical 6-by-6-inch wood panel. After that, artists were invited to respond to, interpret or represent water in any way they could think up. The results are delightfully diverse, and the neat arrangement of same-size artworks — paintings, photographs, fiber, collage and 3-D pieces — on the walls of Burlington’s Penny Cluse Café is appealing.

movies Please Give ★★★★★

he summer movie season has proved a barren wasteland of sequels, remakes, TV adaptations and spectacles based on comic books and video games. Even 14-year-olds have better things to do than squander their allowance on pickings this slim. Which is one reason ticket sales are at their lowest level in years. Hollywood may get its act together in the coming months, but until then, there is the fourth offering from independent filmmaker Nicole Holofcener. It is in every sense a gift. As I watched Please Give, I experienced a number of curious sensations. At first I was concerned, but then I realized it had just been such a long time since a motion picture made me think and feel and laugh that I’d forgotten what the experience was like. The writer-director is perhaps best known for 2001’s Lovely & Amazing, and her films are frequently likened to the comedydramas Woody Allen made in the ’70s and ’80s. It certainly wouldn’t be surprising to find a measure of the director’s artistic DNA in Holofcener’s body of work, given that she served as an apprentice editor on Hannah

and Her Sisters — a movie her stepfather produced — and that she grew up in the same Manhattan milieu where Allen’s seminal output from that period is set. As she has in all Holofcener’s films, Catherine Keener stars. Here she portrays Kate, a well-to-do Upper West Sider conflicted over her good fortune. She and her husband, Alex — played by a never-droller Oliver Platt — own a thriving vintage furniture store where they sell mid-20th-century pieces purchased from too-busy-to-bother offspring of the recently deceased and marked up to the stratosphere. Kate feels guilty about that. And about the homeless people on her street, to whom she hands $20 bills as matter-of-factly as other people feed coins into parking meters. She feels guilty, as well, for having bought the apartment adjacent to her family’s and for secretly wishing the 91-year-old sourpuss who lives in it would die already. She feels guilty about everything good in her life. The movie has no shortage of nice touches, but one of the nicest moments catches Kate surfing the web for third-world children’s charities. They’re her version of Internet porn.

The A-Team ★★

t one point in The A-Team, a CIA agent played by Patrick Wilson is so pumped by a big explosion that he whoops, “That was awesome! It was exactly like Call of Duty!” Perhaps the moment was intended as a shoutout, since actor Brian Bloom, who cowrote the movie and plays the villain, has done voice work on the Call of Duty video games. It could also be taken as satire. But mainly it feels like a capsule review. The A-Team may not be exactly like Call of Duty — if anything, it’s probably less realistic. But it is an undisguised bid to grab the video-game audience with excitement that never lets up, even if it doesn’t make sense. There should be a term for the kind of action filmmaking that’s edited into an indistinguishable blur of actors, stuntpeople, flaming props and computer graphics — let’s call it action slurry. And it can work. In the Bourne movies, it made you feel like you were Jason Bourne. In The Dark Knight, it went with the whole “eruption of chaos” theme. But action slurry is not the right medium for an adaptation of a 1980s TV show known mainly for its well-worn catchphrases and cheapie explosions. Director and cowriter Joe Carnahan (Narc, Smokin’ Aces) is so busy keeping

things moving that he fails to tell a coherent story. That’s OK — a tight narrative isn’t what you expect from The A-Team. What you do expect are fun banter and cornball performances. But it’s hard for actors to make an impact when the soundtrack does its best to drown them out, and the camera seldom pauses on them for more than two seconds at a time. This time around, the fearsome foursome of Special Forces dudes led by John “Hannibal” Smith (Liam Neeson) are veterans of Iraq instead of Vietnam. The movie starts with their action-packed meeting in Mexico, then lurches forward eight years to start again in Baghdad, where the slimy Wilson enlists them in a daring mission that leads to their disgrace and eventual rebirth as soldiers of fortune. But all you really need to know is that this is a film where the heroes can escape from an exploding plane in an armored tank handily strapped to parachutes. Amid these absurdities, the strangest thing about the movie is that Wilson and Bloom get all the laughs. As pretty boy Face, Bradley Cooper — who was once funny, I could swear it — continues his descent into infernal smugness, inflicting on us a romantic subplot with an incredibly uncomfortable-looking Jessica Biel. Sharlto Copley

GIVE AND TAKE Keener and Platt play a prospering Manhattan couple whose marriage is jeopardized by liberal guilt.

One evening Kate and Alex invite their neighbor over for dinner. The old crank (Ann Guilbert) is accompanied by the granddaughters who take turns looking after her. Rebecca Hall is plain and dutiful. Amanda Peet is vain and without a trace of conscience. She’s Kate’s opposite, and that doesn’t go unnoticed by Platt’s character, for whom the liberal guilt thing is beginning to get a little old. The two families become entwined in unexpected ways that lead alternately to moments of sublime, intelligently observed comedy and to wistful meditations on aging,

disease, disability and death. This is a film made with adult viewers in mind — so the bad news is that all those idle 14-year-olds still have no place to go. The good news is that the rest of us have hit the jackpot. Starved for whip-smart dialogue, characters who don’t behave as though they’ve just stepped out of a cartoon, a plot as filled with surprises as life can be, a cast that honors fine writing and a director who respects her audience? Holofcener’s latest is guaranteed to please. Give it a look. RICK KISONAK

MOVIE REVIEWS

GANG OF BORE Neeson, Cooper, Copley and Jackson pity fools and make plans come together. Or something.

was a revelation as the Kafka-esque corporate flunkie in District 9, and he seems like a natural choice for “Howling Mad” Murdock, but this time his shtik consists mainly of frenetic attempts at sounding American. As for mixed-martial artist Quinton “Rampage” Jackson, he fails to replicate the mystique that made so many grade schoolers in the Reagan years fall in love with Mr. T. Maybe it’s his relative lack of bling. The biggest problem with The A-Team is that it takes itself semi-seriously at times when a MacGruber approach would have been more appropriate. It has too many slomo shots set to elegiac music and too many

clumsy attempts at “character development” that don’t develop. Pure parody might have been the way to go. In fact, if someone had thought to fuse The A-Team and MacGruber at the development phase, they might have generated a perfectly profitable storm of “Macgyver”-esque nostalgia and steroid-addled silliness. (You can toss The Losers in that hopper for good measure.) We’ll never know. The only conclusion to draw from this mess is that what happened in the ’80s should have stayed in the ’80s.
