DOCTOR’S ORDERS Ken Picard’s article, entitled “Burlington Bites Into the Fluoride Question� [“Local Matters,� May 18], omitted a great deal of information regarding the benefits of community water fluoridation for Burlington residents. Although it is not possible in this column to list the hundreds of studies proving the safety of water fluoridation, generally it is known that fluoridation poses no adverse health risks. In Vermont, water fluoridation does contribute to the reduction of tooth decay by 20 to 40 percent. Besides reducing tooth decay, it prevents needless pain, suffering and loss of teeth and improves quality of life. Because older adults are now keeping their teeth longer, fluoridation is important for preventing tooth decay in this age group. How does drinking fluoridated water help prevent tooth decay? Fluoride binds with tooth surfaces as teeth develop to provide protection from the bacteria that cause the infectious and transmissible disease known as tooth decay. Fluoride in saliva constantly washes over teeth to strengthen and protect tooth enamel from decay. Economically speaking, fluoridation is very cost-effective and benefits individuals of all ages and socioeconomic groups. In Vermont, the cost of providing fluoridated water is a little over 1x2-essexvet081804 8/13/04 one dollar per person per year. For

every dollar spent on fluoridation, as much as $70 is saved in dental bills. The Vermont Department of Health endorses water fluoridation as a safe and effective way to improve the public’s dental health. As a preventive measure, it is the single most important commitment that a community can make to the oral health of its residents. Burlington’s residents can be thankful and proud that their water supply has been fortified with fluoride since 1952, and was the first town in Vermont to do so. Donald Swartz, M.D. MILTON

GOT WOOD? William R. Moore’s conception of the Vermont wilderness [“Letters,� May 25] as exclusively a kind of roofless warehouse for Crate ’n’ Barrel (i.e., “meant to provide a regional supply of forest products�) is perfectly consistent with his vested interests, but it hardly confers on him an authority to brand Bill McKibben (of all people) as “uninformed.� McKibben is “uninformed� to the precise extent that the Champion Lands Leaseholders & Traditional Interests Association is without agenda.

My three oldest had their baby teeth pulled when they were teenagers. Holes were drilled in their mouth and their secondary teeth pulled into place. We had no dental insurance so this cost our family large sums of money but also put my children through unnecessary pain. My fourth child, who was not given fluoride vitamins, did not experience these problems and actually had fewer cavities than his older siblings. I became interested in water fluoridation when our town wanted to fluoridate our public water
supply. I reasoned that if prescription fluoride harmed my children, maybe fluoridated water might also be harmful. I found articles in medical journals that stated babies should not be given any fluoride supplements and their formulas should be made with bottled water. The American Dental Association backs up this information by making the same recommendations. Baby formula manufacturers are also quick to state that their products are made with unfluoridated water or water that is processed
through a reverse osmosis system to remove fluoride. This makes me question when does fluoride become a good thing to ingest. Our town of Bennington, Vermont decided not to fluoridate. Burlington residents would be wise to discontinue fluoridating their public water supply. Mary Lou Albert BENNINGTON
EUROPE’S EXAMPLE I read with great interest last week’s letter from Robin Perez [“Letters,” May 25]. To call water
fluoridation the “the most effective public health measure ever instituted” takes (blind?) enthusiasm for this lumbering policy to a whole new level. The most effective public health measure ever instituted? More effective than the polio vaccine? More effective than the eradication of tuberculosis? Something is wrong with this picture. If fluoridation was truly the most effective health measure ever, then something must be terribly wrong (perhaps a bubonic plague?) with western Europe. Despite unending enthusiasm for fluoride from U.S. health authorities, the vast majority of western Europe has rejected the measure. This includes such backwater countries as Sweden, the Netherlands and Denmark. With over 98 percent of western Europeans drinking unfluoridated water, shouldn’t there be some kind of ramification? There should be, but there’s not. An abundance of data from the World Health Organization shows that cavity rates have declined just as dramatically in Europe as they have in the U.S. Today, Sweden and the Netherlands (which have no water or salt fluoridation) have lower childhood cavity rates than we do. Of course, fluoride toothpastes and other fluoride products are widely used in Europe. This is one of the reasons why Europe rejected adding fluoride to everyone’s water: there is simply no need to force everyone in the population to
ingest a drug against their will when it is so widely available for anyone who actually wants to use it. Michael Connett BURLINGTON
Connett is Project Director of the Fluoride Action Network TREAD LIGHTLY Certainly William R. Moore of Stowe [“Letters,” May 25] knows his priorities. In the Green Mountain Forest, “Sustainable forestry should be first, with all other uses subservient to a forestbased economy.” What this means to me is that our “public” forest should be primarily at the disposal of a few corporations with the consult of whatever the current managers feel is “sustainable.” The rest of us can battle out our recreational and spiritual needs. Talk about an “elitist attitude condescending in my general direction!” It would seem that the forest managed and sustained itself for thousands of years before we got here. We don’t even know what that picture looked like. Why don’t we leave some areas alone and see what happens? Has Mr. Moore ever felt the awe and mystery that abides in the untrammeled forest? It’s something impossible to put a price on, and is all but unreachable now for the vast majority of us. The fingers of commerce are always working. >> 14A

AN IRREVERENT READ ON VT POLITICS
Nothing against Kirby or Hoover
Tarrant’s Dark Past
B
umped into Republican U.S. Senate hopeful Ritchie Tarrant at the Vermont Business Expo last Thursday. The IDX gazillionaire told us he’s thinking about getting rid of the Bentley. That would be his new 2005 Bentley Coupe GT with a list price of $156,285 that we reported on last week. Ritchie Rich told “Inside Track” he keeps his magnificent new wheels at his Florida residence. Campaign-wise, Tarrant the businessman says he’s not worried a bit about building up enough name recognition to match that of his opponent — Vermont political superstar Bernie Sanders, our eight-term Independent congressman. In a live radio interview from the Business Expo, Tarrant confidently told WDEV listeners the “only thing” that might keep him out of the U.S. Senate race is “something that might come up between now and then . . . I can’t tell you right now what may stop me, but you never know.” Indeed, the former St. Mike’s hoop star was brimming with confidence. After all, the reason for his Expo visit was to proudly accept the annual Deane C. Davis Award on behalf of IDX, the South Burlington software giant he started. And Jump Shot sure sounded like a successful CEO when he analyzed the challenge he faces. “Bernie is well-known throughout the state,” acknowledged Tarrant. “He’s been a politician his whole life in Vermont. He’s got a lot of recognition. It’s going to be a very large campaign with national prominence.” Oh, boy! And sounding very much like a businessman, Tarrant gave a hard-nosed, confident forecast of what lies ahead. “We’ll be able to catch up in name-recognition,” said Mr. IDX assuredly, “and then it’ll just be a matter of battling out the messages and the beliefs.” Yes, indeed, the “messages” and the “beliefs.” Can’t wait. Meanwhile, one loose end Ritchie Rich is attempting to tie up before the campaign kicks off involves the big, bad Renaissance Scandal up on Hospital Hill. You may recall, Mr. Tarrant was a member of the distinguished Fletcher Allen Health Care board of trustees when the crimes were committed. Crimes that violated the public trust. (In fact, former CEO Bill Boettcher begins serving his two-year jail sentence in six days. More on that later.) Mr. Tarrant has been planning his upcoming U.S. Senate shot for quite some time. It will be, after all, a new ball game for him in a whole new ballpark — politics. The nation’s — and state’s — political graveyard is full of millionaires who couldn’t get elected. Success in Corporate America and on Wall Street doesn’t always translate into success in Campaign America and at the ballot box. Like anyone of substance running for such an important position, Tarrant can expect his past will be closely scrutinized. Perhaps in anticipation of that, the former Mary Fanny trustee has taken steps to correct the record, as they say, in regard to his less-than-shining hospital trustee performance. “Inside Track” has obtained a copy of a formal sworn “Declaration” Tarrant filed recently at U.S. District Court. The two-page document was signed on April 24, just five
days before former Mary Fanny CEO Bill Boettcher was sentenced. In it, Tarrant professes “under penalty of perjury” his complete ignorance regarding statements and information CEO Boettcher presented to state regulators while Tarrant was a trustee (and should have known better). You see, Mr. Tarrant was on the Mary Fanny board from 2000-2002, precisely when the crimes of fraud for concealing the project’s true cost were committed. During that period, Mr. IDX sat on the trustee finance and planning committees. As everyone now knows, the hospital’s finances and plans were at the very root of this evil. Specifically, the skeleton in Ritchie’s closet is a tough-talking March 11, 2003 op-ed he wrote for The Burlington Free Press titled “FAHC Trustees were not ‘sitting idly by.’” Just one month earlier, Jump Shot had been one of the eight distinguished FAHC trustees who resigned amidst public outcry. CEO Boettcher had departed (with a golden parachute given to him by Ritchie and the trustees) the previous summer. The federal and state criminal investigations were well underway. In his Freeps op-ed, Tarrant attempted to clear his good name. He strenuously made the argument that, “No one can justly accuse Fletcher Allen of hiding the true cost of the project or of it careening out of control with trustees standing idly by.” Ritchie Rich angrily accused the Freeps of not publishing the “truth, supported by real facts.” Tarrant made the case that state regulators had long been aware of the true cost of the massive project, and even went out of his way to take a shot at Rep. Bernie Sanders. Sanders, you see, had, at the time of Tarrant’s writing, recently formed his own “FAHC Task Force.” Ol’ Bernardo had called on the hospital to open its trustee meetings to the public. He also suggested the FAHC board suffered from a lack of “diversity.” Ritchie suggested Bernie didn’t know what he was talking about. No doubt they’ll get to elaborate on this and other topics on the Vermont U.S. Senate campaign trail that lies ahead. And, we predict, Rep. Sanders will regularly mention the official “Declaration” Mr. Tarrant filed in the case of United States of America v. William V. Boettcher. That’s because Tarrant’s “Declaration” is actually a Tarrant confession. The trustee had gotten his facts very, very wrong. In the court document, Candidate Tarrant states that when he wrote his 2003 Freeps oped he was “not aware” of a lot of things on Hospital Hill. For example, Ritchie Rich “was not aware that Fletcher Allen management specifically advised BISHCA on numerous occasions in 2001” that the project “would not cost more that $173.5 million to construct.” Latest cost estimates are around $380 million. Tarrant also wrote he “was not aware” that the FAHC budget showing the project cost of $343 million “had not been shared with BISHCA in 2000 or 2001.” Ex-Trustee Tarrant also “was not aware” of the extent of FAHC’s representation to the state that the Renaissance Project would only cost $173 million.

Nelida Willette kneels alongside a narrow patch of ground in front of her house at 163 North Champlain in Burlington. She sets a colorful burst of geraniums in the ground, tamps the soil, and then moves on to the pansies. Willette and her husband, George, have lived in this Old North End house for 19 years. Every spring without fail, they’ve gardened on the small strip of land between the sidewalk and the curb — land that belongs to the city but that property owners are obligated to maintain. “Everyone in the neighborhood waits for my tulips to come up,” Willette says, displaying a photo of the bright red flowers she on her cell phone. “They say to me, ‘That’s always the first sign of spring we look for.’” Next door, Genevieve Jacobs is cultivating a slightly different sensory experience on her curbside plot: fragrant aromatics such as lavender, oregano, mint and thyme. Jacobs says she doesn’t mind if passersby take a pinch or two — “It’s peace-promoting and it makes people happier,” she says. Green space is at a real premium in large sections of the Old North End. On some blocks, the only flowers in bloom are the dandelions that sprout from cracks in the sidewalk. But in recent years, many city residents like Willette and Jacobs have invested considerable time and money to landscape the “greenbelts” outside their front doors. These decorative displays could soon get hit with a hard freeze — not from the weather, but by a pending city ordinance. Next week, the Burlington City Council will con-
Do-Good Companies Pay It Forward When Baby Boomers go down in history, it won’t just be for rock ’n’ roll and free love. At least some of the Americans who came of age in the 1960s are striving to leave as a legacy the socially responsible approach to making money. The means for handing this model down to the next generation will be considered at a June 6 seminar on “The Legacy Question.” The event at the Sheraton in South Burlington is co-sponsored by the Vermont Employee Ownership Center, a consultation and advocacy organization that is holding its third annual conference later the same day. Answering the legacy question is “the biggest challenge socially responsible businesses are facing now,” says Marjorie Kelly, editor of Business Ethics magazine and lead presenter at next week’s seminar.
“It’s a generational issue,” she adds, noting that the first contingent of socially responsible business owners — “the pioneers” — are nearing retirement age. They must decide how best to advance their revolutionary form of capitalism, which views just treatment of workers, communities and the environment as equal in importance to private profit-making. Ownership structure is what ultimately drives a company’s social mission, Kelly observes. And giving employees control over a company, usually through a stock ownership plan, offers the surest guarantee of continued social responsibility. But employee ownership may not be a feasible choice for every company, Kelly cautions. “That’s why we need to develop new ways of operating businesses. We have to continue being creative in meeting challenges.” Many business owners grappling with the legacy issue look to the experience of Ben & Jerry’s as one to be assiduously avoided, Kelly says. The takeover of this new-model ice cream company by an old-fashioned multinational corporation led to the loss of most of Ben & Jerry’s defining characteristics, Kelly points out. In the five years since stockholders basically forced the sale to Unilever, the company’s social mission has gone into remission and its Vermont roots have withered.

local matters 11A
<localmatters> sider a “Greenbelt Vegetation Ordinance” that would set new standards for how property owners and tenants must maintain the small grassy knolls outside their homes. The new measures were prompted by a number of growing concerns, explains Bob Whalen, the superintendent of park planning and development. Last summer, Whalen says his office fielded about 30 complaints a week about residents who weren’t maintaining their greenbelts according to requirements spelled out in existing city law. On some streets, people allowed grass or weeds to become overgrown. In other spots, folks planted flowers or shrubs that damaged tree roots, blocked the views of drivers or pedestrians, encroached upon the sidewalk, or posed a fire hazard. The new law now under consideration would establish uniform standards for what could be planted on city property. “More and more people are taking an interest in landscaping the greenbelts, which we feel is a good thing,” Whalen says. “We’re not saying people can’t do it — as a matter of fact, this [ordinance] sort of legitimizes it — but we’re just giving it some structure.” The new rules would prevent people from planting anything but grass within the “drip line” of a city-owned tree — that is, the area beneath its canopy. Residents would also be prohibited from installing planting boxes or other structures without prior permission from the city arborist. Vegetation could not block a street or sidewalk, and grass could not be any taller than eight inches high. Jim Flint, executive director of the nonprofit Friend of Burlington Gardens, doesn’t agree with all the proposed rules; for example, he’d like to see a “grandfather clause” to protect existing gardens. But he says his group is taking a “middle-of-theroad approach” to the greenbelt ordinance. He does hope, however, that the city will recognize many Burlingtonians’ budding desire to beautify their blocks. “This ordinance suggests that people really want to have some gardens and they’re doing it in whatever way they can,” says Flint. He notes that many city residents live more than a mile from the nearest community garden plots. While the new rules would apply citywide, Whalen recognizes that their impact would be felt largely in the Old North End, where about 125
greenbelts have been landscaped. But Whalen says most of these are already in compliance — or would need only minor changes. Residents who don’t comply with the new rules would have seven days to make the necessary alterations — or face a $50 fine. “I think it’s preposterous,” says Progressive City Councilor Tim Ashe, who represents Ward 3. “One of the things that makes Burlington a unique and lively place is the care that many people put into the greenbelts.” He says he doesn’t want these efforts to be discouraged “because the city arborist has put handcuffs on us.” Ashe, who was appointed to the Ordinance Committee in April, voted against moving the bill out of committee, but was overruled two to one. He says he can’t understand why the Parks & Recreation Department has taken such a keen interest in this issue, since there hasn’t been a huge public outcry against these little gardens, nor much evidence that they pose a serious public nuisance or a drain on city resources. “There are people in the city with heroin problems,” Ashe adds. “We shouldn’t be wasting our time talking about daffodils on Peru Street.” KEN PICARD
Fear of just such an eventuality motivated Frank Sands to restructure his family’s 210-yearold business as an employee-owned company. “My experience with sales of companies is that lots of times the buyers don’t have the best longterm interests of the business in mind,” says Sands, chairman of the board of King Arthur Flour and a keynoter at the June 6 seminar. Sands, 69, inherited King Arthur in 1963 and moved it to Norwich from the Boston area in the mid-1980s. He decided to relocate to Vermont rather than New Hampshire because there’s a stronger social consciousness on this side of the Connecticut River, he says. The company also began building an employee stock ownership plan (Esop) that has put King Arthur entirely in the hands of its 150 workers. The key to the successful transfer, Sands says, was the company’s sell-off of unionized subsidiaries in 1980. “Almost by definition, labor unions have to maintain the schism between management and workers. As long as that existed, there was no possibility of developing employee ownership.” Sands says the Esop resulted in enormous productivity gains; King Arthur will soon pass Pillsbury to become the No. 2 branded flour company in the United States, trailing only General Mills’ gold medal. “When you’re an owner, you think about the business all the time. You don’t watch the clock; you’re always developing ideas for doing things better,” Sands observes.
Giving employees control of the Autumn Harp lip balm company would have been “personally a very satisfying move,” says co-founder Kevin Harper, who will also speak at the seminar. Layoffs in 1999 obviated that option, however. “Part of our downsizing involved elimination of a management team that might have been able to collectively organize to run a $10 million business,” Harper explains. The trauma of the layoffs and shifts in Autumn Harp’s market orientation pushed Harper to the selling point. “For me, 25 years was enough. I also wanted to get into other things,” says Harper, 53, who now serves on the boards of four Vermont nonprofits. He hired a broker to find a buyer. Inquiries and offers poured in from around the world, but Harper eventually decided on someone in Autumn Harp’s own backyard. Dave Logan, a Shelburne entrepreneur, bought the Bristol-based business in 2001 and has since doubled its workforce as well as its revenues. Harper says he chose Logan “because I was sure he would manage the company in much the same way it had been managed.” For Harper, the true bottom line was “proving it was possible to pay people well, treat them fairly, provide them with health coverage — all the things they sweat the most. I also wanted to make products people need and to do it without taxing the planet,” he says. “Now all this can continue.”

ITEMS FROM EVERY CORNER OF THE GLOBE

Curses, Foiled Again When employees were closing a supermarket in Slidell, Louisiana, they confronted a customer whom they had seen take several items off the shelves. The man, later identified as Devyn Coleman, 19, bolted but ran face-first into an automatic door that did not open because it had been locked. Several employees took the dazed suspect to an office and called police. Before the officers arrived, the man climbed into a crawl space between the roof and the ceiling, then scrambled along a maze of steel support beams looking for a way out. He finally fell through some ceiling tiles and landed in an open meat case, where a

Anderson, 48, waited in the parking lot at a hair salon until the stylist who had cut her hair arrived, pulled a gun on her, led her into the salon and demanded $100. Witnesses in the salon said that after the suspect left, she started to drive away but stopped and fired at least one round at a window of the stylist’s car, then threw the gun through the shattered glass and fled. Explaining that Anderson apparently was “dissatisfied� with her hair cut, police Capt. Mike Cobb said that officers arrested her about 45 minutes later coming out of another hair salon, where she paid for a trim with part of the loot from the robbery.

could never get used to the grass down there. It’s thatched. You can hardly walk around barefoot.” The woman speaking to me from the shotgun seat had short, no-nonsense black hair, and looked 30, maybe 35. She was plump, but vigorous. Her physicality suggested she was quite prepared to wield an axe, a frying pan or anything else that life required of her. We were cruising up Route 100 through North Hyde Park en route to her mother’s home in Newport. For the last few miles, Rhonda — on long hauls I often exchange names with my customers — was recounting her 10month Florida experience, which seemed to have been marked by an almost harrowing ennui. “How’d you end up down there?” I asked. “Were you one of those Vermonters who simply yearned for one frickin’ winter without snow?”
Leaving Vermont must have been difficult for Rhonda, I reflected. Probably hell on her kids, as well.

Be smart
“Well, yeah, that,” she said with a chuckle. “Mostly, I just needed to get away. I was going through a bad divorce and I just took off. Left the two kids with my mom and got on a bus.” As we came into Eden, I glanced down and noticed the gas gauge inching towards the red zone. The town’s general store was in sight, and I slowed down, pulling up to the gas tanks. They were of a bygone style — with the metal “on-off” lever on the side and the mechanical dollar amount that spins and clicks as you pump the gas. A classic Dylan tune popped into my head, and as I stood there pumping gas, I improvised a new verse to myself, ending with, The pumps are old, inside the gates of Eden. Rhonda wanted to buy a sandwich, and we walked together into the store. Not surprisingly, given the pumps, this place was not a prettified, retro version of the classic Vermont general store; gloriously, it was an unreconstructed original. If you needed buckshot, a hard-boiled egg, diapers, bacon and the Rocky IV video, this was your place. In this respect, ironically, it was like a Wal-Mart, except with tons more soul. Back on the road, Rhonda unwrapped her ham-and-cheese sandwich, tore open a bag of Fritos and unscrewed a liter bottle of Diet Pepsi. “Jeez, I’m famished,” she said. “I’ve been riding buses for nearly two full days.” The towns rolled by — Eden Mills, Lowell, Westfield, Troy — and Rhonda’s spirit rose with each mile. This Florida journey had been her first time outside of
Vermont — “if you don’t count the five or six times I been to Burlington,” she wryly clarified. Her roots were sunk as deep into the Vermont soil as anyone I’ve ever met up here. We passed a vast, muddy field with a Jeep 4x4 parked haphazardly alongside a long-neglected wood pile near the roadside. The vehicle was entirely coated in brown, as if some gargantuan sous-chef had ladled a swimming pool’s worth of muck down upon it. Rhonda said, “Arnie — that’s my ex. He loves muddin’. Every weekend, he’d be out there, sliding around with his friends.” She placed the last bite of her sandwich down on her lap, and dropped her head onto a cupped hand. The pain was palpable. “You know what they say,” she continued, “the only difference between men and boys is the size of their toys.” Leaving Vermont must have been difficult for Rhonda, I reflected. Probably hell on her kids, as well. I used to be harshly judgmental about things like this, until one day I realized that everyone is just doing as well as they can with the cards they’ve been dealt. Life is not “American Idol,” with people parading before me, the judge. Rhonda’s hometown soon came into view. Newport is all about mighty Lake Memphremagog, which seems to be everywhere as you negotiate the town. It’s the second largest lake in Vermont, though we do share it 50/50 with the Quebecers. “This lake has a monster, too, you know,” Rhonda said, as she gazed out at the passing downtown stores. No doubt she had at least some small association with each one. “What do you mean?” I asked. “Like Champ in Lake Champlain?” “Yup, same deal. Serpent, dragon, whatever. Ours is called ‘Memphre.’” “Well, that makes sense,” I said, with a laugh. “Let’s keep an eye out for him. He just might make an appearance to welcome you back.” Rhonda directed me onto a road that wended its way down along the shores of the lake. “Mmm, look at this green grass,” she said. “You just know I’m going to be running around barefoot before the day is up.” We reached a well-maintained trailer home with a wide, wooden porch wrapped around on three sides. A flatbed truck sat in the dirt driveway, and kids’ toys were strewn all over the lawn. As we eased to a stop, you could see activity through the living room window. “My babies,” Rhonda said, tears streaming down her face. “I’m going see my babies.” 쩾

DOING DICKINSON In regard to Elisabeth Crean’s theater review of “The Belle of Amherst,� [“Well Versed,� May 18] performed by Kathleen Keenan at the Lost Nation Theater, I would like to share some observations and opinions. Initially, my friends and I were aware of Keenan’s youthful appearance, since she was portraying Emily Dickinson at age 53. However, as the play progressed and we were drawn into the story, the emotions and the rejections experienced by Emily and her eloquent sharing of her inner self made us see the woman, not her age or the color of her hair. And if the reviewer felt that Emily should have moved about more slowly, less “vivaciously� because of her 53 years, I suggest that Elisabeth Crean come to our fitness center some time and observe us “seniors� as we work out, socialize and walk and talk rapidly even though we are much older than 53. When one has a zest for life and a desire not to waste a moment of it, we are “vivacious.� Our evening with Kathleen Keenan and Emily was enlightening, inspiring and a true gift of the spirit. Barbara Balseiro MONTPELIER
SLATE OF HAND Your “Clean Slate� article [May 18] was enjoyable — not just because I have a slate roof on my old house, but because I found out a lot about slate the same day. I heard about a “Slate Valley� museum, over in Granville, New York, and a special event they had on Wednesday, May 18. They sponsored a tour of a red slate quarry and a tour of the slate factory. The museum was small, but very well done and about 50 people did the tour. It must have been a very hard way to make a living in the old days, and even today, with all the power equipment, it is difficult. To start with, over 95 percent of what they quarry is not usable. The Slate Valley is only six miles wide and about 30 miles long. It is also the only place in the world that has red slate. The valley also has green, black and several other colors quarried. The guy that gave the tour, Peter Tatko of Sheldon Slate Products Company, had more answers than we had questions, and enjoyed giving the tour — in some parts of the large factory he’d stop the processing to explain things. He is the fourth generation of his family to work with slate. Some of the counter tops and other products were as beautiful as anything I have ever seen. I don’t think I will ever look at my roof the same old way. Hal Coughlin
been involved in the diner history community for over 10 years [“State of the Arts,� May 25]. What can we say to the allegations of one man determined to discredit another? What we can say is that without Daniel Zilka it would have been impossible to save South Burlington’s Wesson Diner from destruction in October 2001. For several days he volunteered his expertise, advice and physical labor. Daniel continues to be a valuable resource and inspiration to us. His commitment to preservation and selfless efforts have saved many diners over the years. We are grateful for his efforts and ongoing support. Amey Radcliffe WESTFORD
. . . AS A STUMP William Moore calls Bill McKibben “uninformed� [“Letters,� May 25] re. the wilderness issue on the Green Mountain National Forest? That was worth a real hoot. McKibben — author, scholar, long-distance hiker, marathon skier, etc., etc., is “uninformed� and presumably Mr. Moore is “informed?� More laughter. I suggest Mr. Moore find himself a dictionary and a history book. In the former he can learn the definition of the word “uninformed,� and in the latter he can learn about the “Multiple-Use Sustained Yield Act of 1960� the crux of which defined national forests as areas of “multiple-use� and, with regard to timber resources, “sustained yield.� The first category includes “recreation,� as an appropriate and designated use of our national forests. Wilderness designation on national forests is also entirely legal and appropriate. That national forests are supposed to be only for the growing of trees to make lumber and paper is the grossest of misrepresentations. But then, that should come as no surprise since Mr. Moore identifies himself as a member of the primary group that sought to get the Champion Lands deal overturned. The leaseholders have their own sweet deal there, right on state land owned by you and me. Mr. Moore also repeats the tired old “less diversity in wilderness� argument as well. None of this works. The truth is that the Green Mountain National Forest can provide active timber management and a significant increase — doubling, maybe — of its wilderness acreage. That’s the way it ought to be. Wilderness is the “stuff� of which Vermont was originally made. Don’t we respect the origins of our culture enough to keep some of it around from which to learn? Steve E.

ALL WORTHWHILE HUMAN KNOWLEDGE
Dear Cecil, Your column about microwave ovens moves me to ask: Is cancer increasing because we’ve wrecked the environment? For years we’ve heard about the chemicals and emissions we carelessly spew with dire implications for our health. Meanwhile, cancer seems to be on the rise: I’ve heard breast cancer is up sharply, and melanoma too. But I’ve also heard cancer is increasing because we now live long enough to get it, thanks to modern medicine’s success against illnesses that used to kill people at an earlier age. What’s the story? Is cancer really more common, and if so, why? Nick Stalnos, Kankakee, Illinois If I ever get this figured out, bub, I’ll invest the Nobel money in beer and comic books and spend the rest of my days on the beach — I’ll have earned it. The question is complicated by countless variables, and establishing the simplest facts can be maddeningly difficult. For now here’s what we know: • For a while we thought some key cancer rates were flat or declining, but on further study it turns out they’re going (oops) up. This bombshell dropped in 2002 with the publication of a paper innocuously titled “Impact of Reporting Delay and Reporting Error on Cancer Incidence Rates and Trends.” The gist: A significant fraction of cases (3 to 12 percent, depending on cancer type) don’t get reported promptly to the leading U.S. cancer data registry — in fact, it can take anywhere from 4 to 17 years following initial diagnosis before most (99plus percent) cancers are counted. The missing cases can make early trend reports misleadingly rosy. Melanoma incidence in white males, for example, was once thought to be easing; now analysts think it’s rising 4 percent per year. • Notwithstanding such fine points, few dispute that (a) rates for many common cancers over the past 30 years are way up; (b) that’s partly a function of the fact that we’re living longer — cancer incidence rises rapidly with age between 40 and 80; (c) age having been adjusted for, environmental factors, including lifestyle choices such as
diet, are the chief drivers behind the climb, accounting for anywhere from 65 to 90 percent of human cancer. Some alarming numbers: the white female breast cancer rate rose from 103 cases per 100,000 person-years in 1977 to 146 in 1998. The prostate cancer rate for black men shot up from about 141 in 1975 to 342 in 1993. The white male melanoma rate went from 9 in 1975 to 28 in 2001. Migrant studies show the importance of the environment in many of these increases. For example, Asian natives have a low incidence of prostate cancer, but for U.S.-born sons of Asian immigrants, who presumably have adopted Western habits, the rate doubles. • That said, cancer rates don’t track environmental trends in any obvious way — in fact, the most striking characteristic of U.S. cancer charts since the mid-70s, when centralized data collection began, is how abruptly and often inexplicably the rates change, even after you smooth the curve to average out year-to-year fluctuations. For example, after rising steadily for years, prostate cancer spiked up a whopping 69 percent from 1989 to 1992, then dropped almost equally sharply. What happened? The current consensus is that a new test, prostate-specific antigen (PSA) screening, turned up many previously undetected cancers; presumably the rate fell once all the old cancers had been found. More mystifying is the sudden change in rates for colorectal cancer. After a steady rise, the rate leveled off for blacks after 1980 and began a prolonged drop for whites starting in 1985. (After the mid-90s the rate for whites flattened out or headed back up, depending on what numbers you believe.) The falloff has been credited to better diet, but does anyone really think U.S. eating habits improved or even stabilized during the era of supersizing? • The message the cancer-prevention crowd harps on is that your chances of getting cancer are largely a matter of personal choice, so don’t smoke, exercise regularly, eat less fat and more fiber, etc. While this is surely true, people often worry more about the cancer dangers they don’t (or didn’t) know about, e.g., lung cancer due to asbestos. What percentage of cancer deaths arise from such insidious threats? Respected U.K. researcher Richard Doll offered the following estimates in 1998: ionizing radiation, UV light, 5 to 7 percent; occupational exposure, 2 to 4 percent; air-, water- and food-borne pollution, 1 to 5 percent. For comparison, tobacco accounts for maybe 29 to 31 percent of deaths and diet 20 to 50 percent. Conclusions: (1) the experts think cancer risk due to smoking and lousy eating habits dwarfs most of the stuff people get paranoid about; (2) expert opinion notwithstanding, given that 30-point spread for diet, many cancer risk estimates barely qualify as educated guesswork.

MAKING BODY-MIND CONNECTIONS
Hair and Now
F IMAGE Stefan Bumbeck
or all the attention and pricey primping my hair receives, I’ve always considered my long blonde locks to be short on usefulness — until I heard about hair analysis. “It’s a technique where a small piece of your hair is analyzed for its mineral content,” nutrition consultant Michael Goldstein explained in an email from the Bristol Wellness Center. “When properly interpreted, a great volume of information about one’s health can be determined from the relative balance among the minerals . . . I develop specific mineral-balancing programs with supplements and dietary changes based on shifting the mineral pattern into a more balanced state.” I was skeptical, but curious enough to book an appointment. Goldstein explained how the test would measure 21 different minerals — from the major electrolytes of calcium, magnesium, sodium and potassium, to rare elements such as cobalt and lithium. He said he might find mercury from fish or old-style fillings; nickel from other dental work; cadmium from smoking, or any one of various toxins found in the environment. Because it measures accumulated minerals and toxins stored in the freshest inch-and-ahalf of the hair, the analysis would show my body’s response over a threemonth period to food, exercise, stress and other aspects of my lifestyle. And while the test is a “screening,” rather than a diagnosis, he said it can detect certain indicators of diseases such as diabetes and osteoporosis. “When calcium levels are extremely high, for example, they’re what we call biounavailable,” said Goldstein. “They’re in the wrong places — in the soft tissues, or not being metabolized properly.” For $165, Goldstein sends samples of his clients’ hair to Analytical Research Labs in Phoenix; two weeks later, when the results arrive, he provides a detailed, in-person review of the findings and suggests a nutritional program to mitigate any problems the analysis turned up. The most common discovery, Goldstein revealed, is stress. “Job stress, money stress, relationship stress, car-breaking-down stress,” he said. “Prolonged stress is very difficult for the adrenal glands.” This, in turn, causes fluctuation in the four major
minerals, which are also apparently associated with emotional states. “You can see a person who’s basically defensive, hostile, angry, aggressive, or someone who’s open and accepting,” Goldstein told me. “Mostly what I see is defensiveness and irritability; that’s pretty common.” I tried to be open and accepting as Goldstein leaned across the table to snip a handful of my hair at Muddy Waters — a strange activity, even in that ultra-cool cafe. After all, I felt great. During the three months prior to our first meeting, I’d experienced little stress and was taking daily supplements. I’d never felt happier or healthier. I know nobody’s mineral levels are perfect, but I was fairly confident I would ace this test. While I waited to hear back from Goldstein, I called a couple of his other clients, including “Survivor” celebrity Kathy O’Brien, about their hair-analysis experiences. “When I came back from ‘Survivor,’ I was struggling; there was a major shift in what my body had to go through,” O’Brien explained. “I was feeling more upset stomachs; I just didn’t feel light on my feet.” O’Brien noticed she was putting on weight even though she was training and working out five times a week. O’Brien’s hair analysis indicated that she was a slow oxidizer, meaning she burned food slowly; it also signaled high stress levels. Following Goldstein’s nutritional-balancing program, she cut out coffee, alcohol and sugars, added two hours of sleep per night and began taking supplements. “I’m starting to drop weight and I have better energy; I’m just feeling better,” O’Brien said. “I do a whole different scene now . . . if I’m feeling lousy, I get up in the morning and have broccoli and asparagus instead of scrambled eggs.” The thought of green vegetables for breakfast turned my stomach. That’s when I started worrying about my own results. O’Brien conceded, “I found that I got depressed for the first seven or eight days picking it up and reading it.” Another client, Mary Tozier of Ballston Spa, New York, also made me nervous. “You’re not going to believe it,” she said. Diagnosed with multiple sclerosis last year, Tozier has been following the supplement suggestions and
other recommendations — such as drinking distilled water, throwing out her copper pots and having her mercury amalgam fillings removed. It’s all led to a decrease in her symptoms. “I’m able to stand on my feet and work 12 hours a day as a pharmacist — I’m fighting disability and always will be, and this is a big factor in helping me do so,” Tozier said, adding, “Don’t be alarmed by your report! You’ll see some really interesting things.” Interesting, indeed. When Goldstein and I met again, he delivered the bad news: I was a nutritional failure. My
My iron levels were also low, Goldstein said. Never mind that a blood test taken the week I’d had my hair sampled revealed healthy iron levels. I poked around for an explanation. “The state of the health of the body may be entirely unrelated to the physical and chemical condition of the hair,” researchers wrote in the Journal of the American Medical Association some 30 years ago, when hair analysis first became popular among holistic healers. In 2001, JAMA published a study showing hair-mineral analyses vary wildly among labs, with the authors
My iron levels were also low, Goldstein said. Never mind that a blood test taken the week I’d had my hair sampled revealed healthy iron levels. calcium levels were off the charts — 160 milligrams per 100 grams, compared to an optimal level of 40. Magnesium was also high; sodium and potassium were extraordinarily low. “Why would my calcium be that high?” I asked. He said it could be a result of low protein consumption, abnormal thyroid activity, lead or stress. Might a more plausible explanation be the calcium supplements I’d been taking? “Yes, absolutely,” Goldstein conceded. “Depending on the type of calcium you take, and how well your body is able to keep calcium soluble. You need adequate potassium to do this, and your level is very low. If we can get your potassium to go up, your calcium will come down to a bioavailable range . . . the ratio of your calcium to magnesium also has a lot to do with it.” Like 74 percent of Goldstein’s clients, I was shown to be a slow oxidizer. Apparently, I also had a pattern associated with allergies, adrenal insufficiency, depression, hypothyroidism, hypotension, fatigue, low libido and glucose intolerance. Curiously I hadn’t ever felt any of these symptoms — except maybe the occasional touches of fatigue and low libido, but who hasn’t?
recommending that health-care practitioners “refrain from using such analyses to assess individual nutritional status or suspected environmental exposures.” Hair analysts countered this report by explaining that some labs wash the hair, which produces inaccurate results; the Phoenix lab that tested my hair, one of the most reputable, leaves the hair intact. But its founder also makes several of the supplements that Goldstein subsequently recommended: eight different products, to be taken three times a day, at an estimated quarterly cost of $180 to $225. It seemed a little excessive for a healthy, happy woman of 32. It’s been a week now, though, and I haven’t tossed the results. Why? A sports nutritionist friend in Colorado confirmed that, from the sound of it, my calcium pills were probably giving me too much of a good thing. I’ve booked a doctor’s appointment to have my thyroid checked, and am seriously considering following Goldstein’s program — even undergoing another hair analysis in the late summer. After a few months of paying closer attention to my nutrition and doing some more pricey primping, we’ll see what the hair has to say. m

There’s more Ritchie claims he “was not aware” of, but you get the drift. The question is, who gave Trustee Tarrant all the bad info he had? Answer: the lawyers! “In response to statements criticizing the Board of Trustees,” wrote Tarrant, “I asked for and received information from Downs Rachlin Martin and Fletcher Allen and worked from this information in drafting my op-ed.” Ah, yes, thank God hindsight is 20-20, eh? “I now realize,” Tarrant wrote to the court, “that a full explanation of what happened here required a much more detailed factual investigation than I undertook in 2003.” One can almost hear the jaws flapping: How will someone who overlooked the biggest hospital scandal in Vermont history that was happening right under his nose handle the national scandals that come under the U.S. Senate’s nose? “After reviewing material submitted by the government in connection with the sentencing of Bill Boettcher,” declared Tarrant, “I see now that FAHC management had a plan to mislead BISHCA relating to the costs of the Renaissance Project. Based on this evidence, I would not now say that ‘No one can justly accuse Fletcher Allen of hiding the true costs of the project.’” Confession, they say, is good for the soul. Even for wannabe bigtime politicians who drive Bentleys. Mr. Tarrant, unfortunately, did not respond to our requests for an interview. P.S. Acting U.S. Attorney David Kirby tells “Inside Track” the Fletcher Allen investigation is continuing. But the word on the street is, don’t get your hopes up that more arrests will be made. Insiders note that, to date, not one of the great legal minds that advised Fletcher Allen during the criminal scandal has yet been charged with criminal misconduct. Interesting. Inmate Boettcher – Former CEO Bill Boettcher is scheduled to turn himself in to federal prison officials next Tuesday, June 7. But as Seven Days goes to press this week, it’s still up in the air which federal prison Big Bill will be reporting to. Boettcher’s attorney has recently filed several motions attempting to get his client’s address for the next two years changed from Nevada to Oregon. Originally, Attorney Jerry O’Neill requested, and Judge Bill Sessions agreed, Boettcher would be locked up at the air-conditioned Nellis minimum-security federal prison camp in North Las Vegas, Nevada. According to court documents, O’Neill sought Nellis FPC for his client because of the prison’s 500-hour Residential Drug Abuse Program (RDAP). Was Bill Boettcher on drugs? That explains it, eh? According to Attorney O’Neill, Bill was absolutely not a junkie, but did have a drink or two now and then. Our research indicates federal standards for admission to RDAP are quite low. Even drug dealers have played the alcohol angle to get into the program. Inmates must only demonstrate

Bernie & Gaye — What do they have in common, our Independent Congressman and our Democratic Speaker of the House? Answer: trouble with deadlines. This week, Associated Press says Rep. Sanders failed last year to file required financial disclosure reports following three speechmaking trips paid for by the sponsors. Staff Chief Jeff Weaver says the paperwork was filled out but got lost. And who were the insidious sponsors? How about Smith College, Cal Tech and NASDAQ? Certainly one could argue Bernie Sanders is a pro-lesbian environmental capitalist, but who’d listen? Closer to home, Democratic House Speaker Gaye Symington has recently had similar difficulty. Word from GOP sources was the Speaker’s household was a few weeks late paying the Jericho property taxes. When we asked her about it last week, Speaker Gaye informed us we were the fourth journalist to inquire. And, yes, it’s true. Her husband, whatshisname, apparently blew it. And it gets worse. “Inside Track� has learned that the Vermont Speaker of the House, a woman who has courageously established a strong and respectful leadership style, a champion of a progressive universal health-care system, also failed to renew the family dog’s license on time. Sounds like a suburban crime wave, eh? Race Matters – As the song says, “You’ve got to know when to hold
’em and know when to fold ’em.� And folding ’em on the matter of racial appointments is something Gov. Jim Douglas appeared only too happy to do last week. As you may know, our Republican governor did a dumb thing recently. He used his powers of appointment to turn the Vermont Human Rights Commission into a white-only panel. Jim Crow must have smiled. The issue wasn’t about whether Douglas’ appointee, who had replaced the commission’s only person of color, was “qualified.� Rather, the issue was our governor had completely failed to imagine what an all-white jury looks like to a black, brown, yellow or red Vermonter. In response, the Senate Appropriations Committee has attached an amendment to the state budget bill requiring at least one Vermonter from a racial minority sit on the panel that investigates complaints of racism. State Sen. Matt Dunne (DWindsor) told “Inside Track,� “Many people in Vermont were very surprised when the governor chose not to appoint the one racial-minority member of the Human Rights Commission. We were equally surprised that when he was asked about it he was unaware that was something that would be a priority as we evaluate human-rights issues in Vermont.� In response, Sen. Dunne, along with State Sen. Diane Snelling (RChittenden), attached an amendment adding “clarity on the intention and scope� of the Human Rights Commission. “We decided, unfortunately,� said Dunne, “that it was necessary to include in the appropriation bill the requirement that at least one member represent a racial minority.� Asked if he had a problem with the amendment, Douglas replied, “No. I indicated in the past I understand the concern. I’m sensitive to it,� said Gov. Douglas. “If the senators want to insist on that, I certainly don’t have a problem with it.� Douglas had gotten the message. And the message was: Shut up and take it. Informed of the Guv’s miraculous conversion to racial sensitivity, Dunne said it shows that “the educational process still works.� “I think he is someone who can clearly learn from past mistakes,� Dunne said of Douglas, “and I’m delighted that he’s on board with our amendment.� P.S. Originally there was some confusion over which committee member had made the motion to amend the budget with the Human Rights Commission requirement. Most eyewitnesses thought it was Sen. Snelling and were surprised to hear Sen. Dunne taking credit. Dunne explained to us the committee operates in a very “fluid� fashion and he thought he had been the sponsor. Snelling remembered differently. But Snelling is not running for Congress in 2006 like Young Matt. Last word is that all’s been patched up. No hard feelings. Collegiality has broken out.

past “use� of alcohol to get admitted. But why would Boettcher want admission to a drug treatment program? Because successful completion of the program would knock three months off his jail time. Every minute counts. In fact, they say they count even more when you’re 57. The problem is, Nellis, Boettcher’s first choice of residence, is slated to be closed by the Bush adminstration’s Bureau of Prisons. The last RDAP at Nellis starts this week. Boettcher won’t arrive in time. So Attorney O’Neill is making a last-minute pitch to get his client transferred to the federal prison camp in Sheridan, Oregon, where hopefully, Big Bill can get into the RDAP. Boettcher’s biggest problem, noted in documents filed by the U.S. Attorney’s office, is that the convicted CEO did not divulge his alleged alcohol “problem� in time to be included in the pre-sentence report. The government says it sounds fishy. “Boettcher provides no explanation as to why, if this information were somehow relevant, he did not share it with Probation or the Court in the time period prescribed,� U.S. Attorney David Kirby wrote in opposition. Instead, Boettcher and his attorney successfully lobbied the judge to recommend Nellis, apparently hoping that once there, the Vermont inmate could easily slip into RDAP. A decision by U.S. District Court Judge Bill Sessions is expected this week. Either way, Nellis or Sheridan, the former CEO of Vermont’s largest hospital will have his last drink Monday night. Cheers, Bill!

Selling the Fizzle How not to have the lamest presskit ever
ou know how the pizza boy must feel after hearing, “Hey, there’s my pizza!� all day long from everybody except the people who actually ordered the pizzas? Well, that’s pretty much how I feel about your band. It’s how pretty much every jaded STORY ’zine writer and every burned-out husk of ANDY SMETANKA a calendar editor at every alternative newsweekly in the country probably feels about your band. Show me the guy who IMAGE coined the phrase “ethno-Cajun slamROSE MONTGOMERY grass� and I’ll show you 10 music writers who fantasize about beating him to death with his own mandolin. If you could just see how much of that crap piles up every week in your average alt-weekly music writer’s cubbyhole, you’d understand why a lot of us are just one ethno-Cajun slamgrass away from a kill-crazy rampage. It’s the same old thing over and over again, just like that movie about Groundhog Day with Bill Murray in it. And I’m not even talking about the music — though probably that, too. I’m talking about the same old lifeless band bios, boring promo photos and all-around Stepford bullshitness of identical publicity efforts. Remember what your mother said about first impressions? Stand out, for crying out loud! Your band might be the best thing to happen to “tribal funk fusion� since bongos stuffed with weed, but get in line: So were the last five bands off the top of the pile, Or, at least, so they say. Look, I can see there’s no talking you out of this band business, so I’m going to do you a favor. I’m going to take you to promotional finishing school. I’m going to tell you everything not to do in a press kit if you really want to stand out to a calendar editor or cynical reviewer. And by “stand out to� I mean “spare your band the indifference or outright hostility of.� It might hurt a little, but you’ll thank me later. Also, is it too late for me to suggest a change of band name? Because actually mentioning “funk� in your band name is a big no-no right off the bat.

Hollywood smiles, people
Your first assignment is to make your bassist take off that stupid Cat-in-the-Hat hat. Thank you. Now then — what’s your motivation for being in this picture? Why should you put any extra thought into taking a promo photo that won’t suck? Because while the music should speak for itself, sometimes it’s late in joining the conversation. A picture, on the other hand, will instantly draw the eye of everyone from the music writer who opens your manila envelope to the fishmonger who eventually uses the newspaper to wrap a smelt. Sadly, nine bands out of 10 don’t have a clue about how to take a group picture. Check out the music section of any alter-
native newsweekly or a thick-assed ’zine like Skyscraper. Everywhere you look, your viewshed is crowded with sandlot dipshits in asinine poses and atrocious headwear endlessly reliving a pageant of tragic fashion mistakes. First of all, there’s the issue of image quality. Bands think it’s some kind of coup to get their picture in the paper in the first place, but half the time the picture’s only there because the calendar guy was left scrambling to fill the space and would have used just about anything he had on hand. Still, certain standards must be upheld: A color copy generally won’t cut it, and that goes for homemade album covers, too. Neither will a murky red-eye special snapped in the alley behind the club by someone’s girlfriend on, like, what was that, her friggin’ Kodak Disc camera? It makes you look like a bunch of deer about to get smeared by a semi. Have a friend who’s really a photographer take the picture. Or at least someone with a decent camera and not a disposable one. Hot tip: Newspapers rarely run photos with the date and time digitally stamped in one corner. Next, during the photo shoot, at least try and act like you wouldn’t rather be home washing your hair. Have you ever noticed how many band shots show at least one member staring down at the ground or distractedly off into space, if not all four or five members spacing out in completely different directions? It’s a special kind of disingenuous when a band takes the time and trouble to have their picture taken just to give the impression that they’re bored to distraction by having their picture taken. Stand up straight, face the camera, and smile. Remember the coy little gags the photographer used to make you smile on school-picture day in third grade? Find that same happy place, Mr. Mustard Shirt. Unless you play in a comically grim Norwegian black metal band (in which case you’re already well beyond the aid of my promotional consulting services), you’re better off smiling confidently than trying to look all cool and tough and looking like a dork anyway. And don’t everybody in the band wear the T-shirt of a much cooler band you’d like to associate your own with. Only one such T-shirt is permitted per photo. Anything more projects a certain desperation. When a fisheye lens is used (which, hopefully, is never), no member is allowed to cup the lens in the palm of his hand. Standing in a circle looking down at the camera is likewise passÊ. Totally ’96. Under no circumstances should band members hold random household objects snatched at the last moment before a backyard photo shoot in a fruitless attempt to

In fact, if anyone suggests doing anything “wacky” at all, the shoot shall be cancelled forthwith.

Indie bands: It’s time to move on from the ironic undersize girls’ softball thriftstore ringer tees. Although you do probably all throw like girls. Your new clothes, Emperor
Yikes! As though having your picture taken weren’t strenuous enough, now someone in the band has to come up with the one-sheet, which is the industry term for the verbal fellating the band gives (or tacitly endorses for) itself in the (not always baseless) hope that a music writer will forego trundling out a different set of overused adjectives and simply parrot the information supplied to him. A one-sheet is supposed to whip up enthusiasm for a band or its newest record with a “hook.” In
a second, far more insidious role, it is also a blatant attempt by the parties most concerned to create the established wisdom concerning a given band. As such, a one-sheet is generally a mishmash of swollen prose, outlandish claims and the transparent self-mythologizing that, admittedly, is one of the most fun things about being in a band in the first place. The problem is that what you think is important or interesting about your band probably isn’t going to be important or interesting to the guy reading the one-sheet, or at any rate no more so than the life stories of 20 other bands whose one-sheets he’s had to translate into English already this morning. Here comes the tough love: Unless the name of your current band is already known outside the city limits of your college town, no one is going to care a whit about any of your former bands. So all that crap about “like a phoenix rising from the ashes, guitarist Hadsell Snevitch emerged from the ruins of Granolafinger and formed Soulflow with former members of Herb and InneRhythm,” you can just toss that junk right this sec. All you’re doing is giving the calendar guy a headache and another reason to dislike you. Ditto that laundry list of all
the other bands you’ve “performed with” or “shared the stage with,” or however you choose to describe your relationship to the band that got most of the money and all of the hot local girls while you felt like rock stars just for getting a whole case of beer to share six ways. What, I’m supposed to be impressed because you played the same five-band bill with some hardcore fossils who have been around since my dad was a kid? Simply sharing a bill with some Big Name doesn’t necessarily vouchsafe the quality or status of your band — you could just as easily be saying you’re friends with the promoter, or that there aren’t that many other bands in your town. Or that after five years of playing together you simply haven’t managed to create a fan base of your own. Press clippings are always handy for vetting other writers’ assertions against those made by the band or its publicist, but avoid including too many clips from the same writer, which just looks piteous. Make some reviews up if you have to, and fabricate a bogus publication or two for good measure. Your band getting a great review on jambase.org? Boh-ring! Your band getting a great review in Transgendered Christian Anarchist Bowhunter Monthly? Ding ding ding! As a last-ditch measure, come bearing gifts. Some years back, a fledgling record label from Oregon started sending out little brass, ahem, “tobacco pipes”— screens and everything — with the company motto printed on a vinyl sheath around the stem: “Because you need a hit . . . and so do we!” Sadly, I don’t think they ever got theirs . . . but tons of other people did. Talk about a stroke of promotional genius. Only for some reason I can’t remember the name of the band. m

eorge Washington gave one to a grandchild. Thomas Jefferson bought one for his wife. Apparently, guitars turned up everywhere in early America, from the parlors of founding fathers to campfires STORY out in California territory. Even down in JOHN the Confederate South, where ladies FREEMAN proved their skill not at the pianoforte but on the six-string. Guitar: An Although that particular tradition has American Life by Tim Brookes, changed — a woman with a guitar is still Grove Press, perhaps too overt a sex symbol for certain 339 pages, $24. society — guitars haven’t lost their popularity. In fact, as Essex author and NPR commentator Tim Brookes explains in his fascinating travelogue-cum-paean, we buy more guitars in this country every year than all other instruments combined. These are hard times for horn makers. Being a luthier: Now there’s a growth industry. Why? Well, in part because of people like Brookes. Tumbling into his early fifties, no longer such a rolling stone, Brookes wears that fragrant cologne of nostalgia and furtive rebellion which Harley Davidson salesmen can sniff a mile away. When a careless airline baggage attendant all but snapped the head off Brookes’ 20-year-old Flyde, he decided it was time to have a new guitar made by hand. Only this time he would watch.
a school where one can learn the trade: Vermont Instruments, in Thetford. Brookes’ craftsman is Rick Davis, salesman, shipper and luthier at Running Dog Guitars in Essex Junction. Davis came to the craft by way of repairing BMWs and building kayaks. He first began working on guitars after buying a do-it-yourself kit. Now, for a little more than $2000, he is going to build Brookes a really nice one. Guitar history will likely lure lots of readers to this book, and Brookes’ cleareyed descriptions of how a guitar gets made will keep them reading. Looking over Davis’ shoulder, you get to watch pieces of cherry become bouts and binding, learn what will make it tick and hum. The whole process emerges as a kind of delicate balancing act — pitting certain forces in the wood against the tension of the string. Davis bends and twists and blows. “He clamps one end against a heated stainless steel slat . . . and slowly starts to bend the wood down against the slat until they meet farther and farther along the curve. I can barely watch,” writes Brookes, holding his breath. “It’s impossible that so thin and brittle a piece of wood can be elastic enough to bend one way around the large lower bout, then in and out again, sharply, for the waist, and then around the small upper bout.”

And so we wind up with Guitar, a lovingly constructed dual narrative about one man’s guitar and how that instrument, over five centuries, has become the most commonly purchased music-making tool in America. If Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance by Robert Pirsig had focused more on motorcyles and less on new-age thought, it might feel like this. Pirsig’s story started in Minneapolis. Brookes’ began in Vermont, where there are more guitar makers per capita than any other state of the union. There is even
With fewer contortions, Brookes also traces the route by which the guitar came to America. The first one, apparently, showed up in St. Augustine (now Florida) in the late 1500s among the effects of a Spanish soldier. After that, the English brought them over to the colonies; the Mexicans ferried them up into California; and, in perhaps the oddest instance of happenstance, shipwrecked Portuguese sailors brought them to the Hawaiian islands, kick-starting a boom in so-called native Polynesian music and steel guitar,

FROM GUITAR: AN AMERICAN LIFE Guitars begin with wood. On a sharp, brittle January day I’m back in Rick’s shop, writing him a check for the $500 deposit while he pulls down samples of wood for the back, sides, and top. Insofar as I’ve been able to picture my Vermont guitar I’ve imagined maple, the classic Vermont wood, but Rick pulls out a plank of cherry that he bought at Sterling Hardwoods in Burlington, and it is breathtaking. A series of ripples run through the grain in the middle section, caused (perhaps) by a virus, and the wood looks like crushed velvet. He dabs a little naphtha on a rag and polishes a few square inches, and the wood takes on what the French call chatoyance, the luminous cat’s-eye luster that throws light out of the depth of the wood, creating the illusion of three dimensions that shift and move like a hologram. Cherry guitars are unusual, Rick says, but he likes the northern hardwoods — maple, cherry, walnut, sycamore — rather than the tropical exotics. They’re his neighbors. What he didn’t know was that cherry is my favorite wood. My family bought me a young cherry tree for my birthday, and it’s the first thing you see outside our front door. We’ll go with the cherry. Mind you, if there’s one thing Rick has already started warning me about, in a series of more and less pointed asides, it’s the danger of falling in love with a gorgeous piece of wood. At the moment, he says, there’s a trend among modern high-end guitar makers to treat the guitar less as a musical instrument and more as a sculpture. Startling headstock shapes. Wild bridge shapes and positions. A body shape that is so nonangular that it seems to be in the process of melting, like Dali’s soft watches. The trouble is, showy woods may not sound significantly better than plainer ones, and they may not age well. As Rick puts it, in ten years’ time they may explode. Electrics, meanwhile, are also becoming more woodconscious, more three-dimensional, as if furtively ashamed of their utilitarian roots and trying to take on some of the rounded charm of the acoustic. High-end guitars in particular, such as the Paul Reed Smith line, are filling out, becoming “almost cello-like.” In the various online acoustic guitar discussion groups, a certain regionalism seems to emerge. In Florida, the talk is all of wood and pearl. In California, it’s all of wood. “If they’re from anywhere else in the country they may mention sound. It’s very annoying to me as a builder. I’m sick to death of inlay and pearl,” Rick says, sick of the look that says “fifty oysters died to make this guitar.” A bumper sticker on the wall shows a sea otter swimming on its back, opening a shell, with the legend, SAVE THE ABALONE.

which was invented and perfected by the great Hawaiian guitarist Joseph Kekuku. Modern rock ’n’ roll has given us so many famous strummers, from Johnny Cash to Jimi Hendrix. Happily, Guitar doesn’t get overly impressed with such celebrities — although it is cool to hear that Hendrix learned to play on a broken ukelele. Brookes’ most vivid portraits play up the unsung heroes of the luthier art, the people with the skills and the raw materials to build instruments that bridge one genre of music to another. One guitar maker, fiftysomething Ken Savage of Puget Sound, tells of having an old man walk into his shop offering good wood. The luthier agreed, not expecting much, only to discover that the man had salvaged and air-dried enough quilted maple — which is apparently quite rare — to fill a 30-by-60-foot warehouse.
As it turns out, two decades prior, the man had spent five years rescuing maple from a timber cut, “going into the forest with a chain saw, cutting them into two-inch-wide planks, carrying them as much as a quarter of a mile out to the nearest road and then driving them back to his shed. Then he would stack them [in the same order] as he took them off the tree. He carefully numbered them and waxed the ends. He treated the wood perfectly.” Now, one strip at a time, this precious wood is shaped and twisted into “sprites” and “chickadees” for aging baby boomers or famous rockers. If Brookes’ “concert jumbo” comes from more common stock, Guitar makes vividly clear that it is no less special. After all, the guitar’s journey only begins in the artisan’s workshop. What happens after that, as history has shown, is up to its owner. m

decades past as well as three songs recorded last fall by the original Ravens, all of whom are now about 60 years old. One listen to “Durham� in its fuzz-toned glory shows they can still rock. The Ravens played what’s now called garage rock. This loud, basic music sprouted in the wake of the Beatles and the Stones, who inspired thousands of kids across America to start bands, rehearsing in garages and releasing 45s. Today, small labels put out CD compilations of those old records for new fans, while new bands, including the Strokes and the Hives, carry on the tradition. Shade, the mysterious caller, had managed a neo-garage band in Sweden. When he landed in the Plattsburgh area to take a job editing the Lake Champlain Weekly newspaper, he got to wondering whether his new home had any interesting bands back in the 1960s. He found enough material to put together the Heart So Cold CD, which featured the Ravens, the Twiliters, the Thunderbolts and other 1960s-era Lake Champlain-area bands.
But the Ravens stood out for him. First, they recorded dozens of songs when most bands were lucky to record a couple. Second, they wrote all the songs themselves, which was rare back then. Third, they did it all several years before anyone in America had even heard of the Beatles. Miraculously, most of the old Ravens songs had been saved. The band members and their families dug bits and pieces from attics and closets. As the Ravens decided what would make the new CD, the songs sparked a lot of memories. Young, Lyford and Brassard grew up in Northfield. Young remembers Brassard and Lyford singing at a church bazaar in the late 1950s. Wanting to join in, he got an old drum set. Things got hotter in 1960, when Lyford and Young spent the summer working as golf caddies in Lake Placid, where they met Stephen Blodgett, a guitar player from Stowe. That fall, they all hooked up with Brassard to form Mike and the Throbs — short for “heartthrobs,� they hoped. In the summer of ’61, Lyford joined the military; he returned to the band in

1962. The group brought in Stephen’s brother John, who had a real Fender electric guitar — still a rare thing in those days — and could play lead. As a joke, they dubbed him “Bo,” after Bo Diddley. It stuck. Young remembers the first time he heard their first single, “Mr. Heartbreak,” by the renamed Mike and the Ravens on the radio. “We were driving in the car and a chill goes up my spine. I think I pulled over. It was a babe magnet. We were then 17 or 18; that was something else.” One of the Ravens’ favorite places to play in those days was the Rollerland skating rink in Plattsburgh. It was a Quonset hut with a curved roof made of corrugated metal. “There were about 1200, 1600 yelling kids crammed inside,” Brassard remembers. “It was very hot, like a pressure cooker. Mist was rising off the audience.” “We all dressed in black suits and white shirts,” he adds. “We looked like hoods — or thought we did. We just
wanted to rock. On stage, I was constantly doing splits and yelling. I couldn’t contain myself, I was so happy. It was singing and chicks, and there were a lot of both.” They played Rollerland, the Air Force base, high school dances and frat parties at UVM, Dartmouth, even Wesleyan and Yale. They also went on tours of New England, opening for national bands such as Brian Hyland, Tommy Roe and the Drifters — big acts that had hit records. The dream ended on Labor Day weekend, 1962. With the weekend off, Stephen Blodgett, Young and Lyford decided it would be fun to play some rock music over the huge, hi-fidelity carillon speakers in Stowe Community Church. “To us, it wasn’t a church at all. It was simply an amplification system,” says Lyford. “It just happened to be in that building. We weren’t intending to offend anybody.” >> 28A

They jimmied a window to get in, put on a record, and then set the carillon’s timer to go off at 2 a.m. and ran up the hill behind the nearby school. “We heard the needle striking the record — skrit, skrit. We knew it would be really loud,” Lyford recalls. They watched lights go on all around town, hearing the angry shouts and finally the needle being yanked off the record. Then, blessed silence. Blodgett’s mom called the sheriff, having figured out who was responsible. “The next thing you knew, we were in court in our band coats,” says Lyford. “We went to jail for two days. Mike heard about it from a Paul Harvey newscast.” The boys’ names weren’t mentioned, but “he couldn’t imagine anyone else in Vermont that it could have been.” Their parents laid down the law, and soon the boys were packed off to college — except for Brassard, who put together a second Ravens group. He later owned Midas Muffler shops in New York and Vermont, and now lives in Florida. The other Ravens are still in Vermont. Stephen Blodgett, Lyford and Young all became lawyers, and John Blodgett works for the Vermont Agency for Transportation, tracking traffic volumes. Produced by Shade, the first Nevermore CD mixes songs from the original band with vintage radio clips and tape snippets of the guys goofing around. It opens with Brassard soloing at age 16, whistling a folk ditty on WDEV’s “Hi-Fi Club.” Then it kicks into two solid blasts of teen-rockin’ mayhem, “Dum Duvey” and “Two-Ton Jenny.” On “Mr. Heartbreak,” Brassard’s voice ranges from a low, earthy Elvis-ish growl to an ethereal Roy Orbison quaver. The second CD features various groupings of one or more Ravens from the 1960s to the ’90s, the new songs, and even radio jingles from Stephen and Mike’s Hammer Sound Productions. Like a hot rod assembled from parts from different cars, the Nevermore CD isn’t exactly seamless. Even computer technology can only do so much to improve the sound of the earliest Ravens cuts. But the engine under the music’s hood is revved up with horsepower to spare and a roar that can’t be muffled. “You shudder at some of the things you did, but at least you did it,” says Stephen Blodgett, who has always written songs and is working on new material for the band. “I mostly would like it if some new stuff we were doing drew some interest. It’s fun to do it but in the long run, if people like the way it sounds, then it’s a success.” Last November, for the first time in 42 years, all of the Ravens gathered in the same room to play rock ’n’ roll. Brassard came up from North Carolina, where he’d been undergoing treatment for a serious illness at Duke University Medical Center. Young and John Blodgett hadn’t played drums or guitar in 30-odd years. Lyford had been playing music with his children, but not much else. On “Durham,” John Blodgett rips out a fierce guitar riff on a borrowed fuzz box — an item that didn’t exist when the band broke up. As Shade tells it, “He nailed it on the second take. Hadn’t
played guitar in 32 years. He’s this 62-year-old dude with this grin on his face, and he just said, ‘I like fuzz.’ It was the coolest thing you ever saw in your life.” The upshot is that the four Vermont-based Ravens are rehearsing in Young’s basement — right back where they started. This summer, they plan to start recording all-new Ravens songs. “All the old farts are up and on our feet and having a lot of fun,” says Lyford. “Your heart doesn’t change,” muses Brassard. “When you get to be 62, you will still have the same heart. We’ll find a way to do something that people like and say, ‘Yeah, that’s cool, that rocks.’” His booming voice drops to a whisper. “God, that’ll be great.” m

Tonight’s Coffeehouse is especially crowded; well over 100 fans have shown up for this 10th-anniversary celebration. Co-founder Richard Ruane is on the bill, as is Burlington-based folkie Patrick Fitzsimmons, a cappella group named Womensing and Va-et-vient, a Québecois Quartet.

munity” meant something different — more austere and less artsy-crunchy — to the people who built this hall with its high, vaulted ceilings. For one thing, it’s in Ripton, a town of just over 550 people. The building looks more like a church than a music venue. Built in 1864, the building has housed town meetings, contra dances and spaghetti suppers. Ruane claims that at one time, the upstairs balcony extended the length of the hall and contained a library and a gymnasium, where local kids played basketball. According to the Ripton Community Coffeehouse’s website — http://www.rcch.org — by 1994, the hall was barely being used at all, and then only for town meetings and the occasional wedding. Ruane and his wife Andrea Chesman were hosting a jam session at their own house when a group of friends came up with the idea of presenting music in the Ripton room. Seeking permission to use it, they approached the town selectboard and won approval. They launched the series on May 6, 1995, and have hosted well over 100 concerts since.

Who wouldn’t relish the poetic setting, where Robert Frost once wandered and the rushing East Middlebury River provides background sound? And it’s hard not to love a place where the community is authentic — not just some buzzword or marketing tactic; the shows reliably draw Middlebury College students, tourists and locals. Audience members, seated on metal folding chairs, look as if they range in age from 8 months to 88 years; upstairs, a young boy is lying down on a table, his head resting on a pillow. But the music is what draws regulars like Francine Roy and Jim Feldhausen, who drive down each month from Milton.

artists featured, including Dana Robinson, Diane Ziegler and Rachel Bissex. The venue tends to attract musicians you seldom hear on commercial radio, but who nevertheless make a living in the music biz. One-woman band Cosy Sheridan is a regular, for example, while an act like Greg Brown is probably too big. Most of these artists used to play at the Burlington Coffeehouse, before it shut down four-and-a-half years ago. Because of the limitations of scheduling a monthly series, they’re only allowed to play Ripton once every three years. In an interview before the show, Ruane points out that touring artists like to return because of the great acoustics and the loyal audience. Even the volunteers stick around year after year. The Coffeehouse is run by a nonprofit organization, and many of its founders still pitch in and attend the shows. “We don’t have a lot of attrition,� Ruane quips.

tured artists, but says he’s always impressed by the quality of the open-mike acts that kick off every professional show. “There’s a lot of good local talent,� he observes. In fact, he identifies the Coffeehouse’s quintessential open mike guy, Bob Bernstein, as his favorite musician. Ruane and friends decided to forgo the open mike for the anniversary show, but they invited Bernstein to start the night with three songs, including Feldhausen’s favorite, “Five Nights With a Redhead.� As Bernstein launches into his first number, it starts to make sense why he’s been performing all these years at the open mikes but hasn’t graduated to a feature spot. All three of his songs follow a pattern: a few simple lyrics, repeated several times, in a not-quite-ready-for-primetime warble. But Bernstein, a sort of awkward, bespectacled man, has a quirky charm and a lot of heart. After his second song — chorus: “I’m going back to Bristol / that’s where I want to be / Oh Lord I’m going home� — the audience begs him to play “the redhead song,� and he obliges to a volley of cheers. The song tells of a redheaded woman who broke the singer’s heart after only five days, er, nights. Halfway through, the
audience joins in. “Five nights with a redhead,� Bernstein and his eager listeners belt, “five nights with a redhead / five nights with a redhead / those sure were five fine nights.� Whistles and applause erupt at the end, along with the sound of hands pounding a long table that borders a bench that runs down one of the walls. Next up is Ruane, accompanied by vocalist and volunteer Beth Duquette, with Michael Corn on guitar and Mitch Barron on bass. Ruane wrote the first number after hearing the eerie howls of coyotes outside his home. “Coyote,� he asks in a smooth, haunting voice, “why do you sound so blue?� It soothes the crowd. Many close their eyes and nod to the beat. After Ruane’s group finishes, emcee Calwell gets up to tell a few jokes and buy time while the next act sets up. Behind her, guitarist Corn stays on stage where he’s joined by the other three members of Va-etvient. The French-inspired quartet includes vocalists Carol Reed, who also plays guitar, and Suzanne Germain, who doubles as the rhythm section. George Dunne plays flute and an irresistible button-box accordion. Their first song is a cappella, backed by the insistent beat of
Dunne’s heavy foot pounding out 4/4 time. Then they launch into a medieval dirge called “Belle.� Probably only a few people in the room understand what they’re saying — in French — but the sadness is so palpable that it almost doesn’t matter. After their set, there’s an intermission, during which everyone gets up, stretches their legs, and grabs a few delicious and cheap homemade baked goods, or a 50-cent cup of organic, fair-trade, shade-grown coffee donated by the Vermont Coffee Company. Proceeds from the concessions benefit a different nonprofit every month — in this case, the Coffeehouse itself. While the adults linger and chat with old friends, kids burst through the doors and run up and down the stairs. Their noise, and the sound of people talking about everything from politics to music to a fundraising car wash at Mount Abraham Union High School, is music to emcee Joanna Calwell’s ears. Trying to describe what she enjoys so much about this scene, she recalls something singersongwriter Cosy Sheridan told the audience a month before: “She said, ‘Thanks for coming out. A lot of money was spent so you would stay home and watch TV tonight.’� m

Creative Conjurer Michael Chorney’s latest recording revolves around Sun Ra
G
uitarist/composer Michael Chorney is one of the most prolific musical talents in the Green Mountains. From his work with his own progressive jazz outfits, such as viperHouse, to recent forays into cabaretSTORY style expressionism, Chorney has always CASEY followed his creative instincts. In the REA process, he’s kickstarted the careers of several players, including Vorcza organist Ray IMAGES Paczkowski and in-demand drummer P.J. MATTHEW Davidian. Chorney’s latest quintet, Magic THORSEN City, finds him continuing to experiment with mood, texture and tonality. Magic City, Featuring drums, viola, upright bass and Nectar’s, trombone, Chorney’s “prepared guitar” Burlington, Tuesday, June 7, and the exquisite voice of Miriam 8 p.m. Bernardo, the band’s sound is an ethereal hybrid of jazz and chamber music, combining otherworldly melodies with earthy harmonies and hypnotic rhythms. Magic City’s debut CD, 2004’s The June Book, is a sultry tribute to composer and big band leader Sun Ra and his longtime vocalist June Tyson. Known for creating avant-jazz with spiritually conscious, sci-fi-tinged lyrics, Ra, who played the Discover Jazz Festival in 1988, departed the terrestrial realm in 1993. Magic City — who play their first Burlington gig at Nectar’s this week — carry on his cosmically attuned tradition. With shoulder-length brown hair,
groovy, wire-rimmed glasses and an easygoing demeanor, 44-year-old Chorney comes across like your favorite hipster uncle, the one who’ll let you sip his beer while teaching you a thing or two about jazz. And he has a lot to teach — but don’t call him a bandleader. “I like to think of myself as more of a ‘collaboration facilitator,’” he says, smiling. Chorney’s most recent recruitment effort features some of the finest young players in the state. In addition to Bernardo, 25, Magic City includes 27year-old bassist Robinson Morse, who has performed with Vorcza and Voice, and trombonist Andrew Maroz, 22, whose resume includes gigs with Dave Grippo and the Trey Anastasio Band. Violist Caleb Elder, 24, is a member of bluegrass acts The Cleary Brothers and The Mad Mountain Scramblers, while 20-year-old Geza Carr works the kit with afro-fusion group Downboi, and regularly gigs with Morse at Montpelier’s Langdon Street Café. Chorney seems delighted to be playing with each of them. “These are really in-demand folks, and they’re all fantastic,” he enthuses. Originally from Buffalo, New York, Chorney headed to Burlington at age 18. “I pretty much threw a dart at the map,” he says of the move. Although most

We had someone come up to us last year at a festival who said, “God, who would think a bunch of white folks from Vermont would be carrying on Sun Ra’s legacy, but you guys really seem to be doing it.” MICHAEL CHORNEY
Vermonters know him for his horn playing, he actually started out on guitar, performing in local combos such as the shortlived, worldbeat group Sundog in the mid-’80s. His brass fascination began at 25, when someone gave him a saxophone. Teaching himself music theory and notation, Chorney practiced his horn while “living in the woods by myself — which is a great place to learn to play sax.” Chorney really hit his stride in the ’90s with viperHouse. The nine-piece band’s wide-lens approach to acid-jazz won them acclaim throughout New England and was documented on two studio albums, Shed and Lap Hen. When the group disbanded in 2000 — “right around the time George W. was elected,” Chorney says — he put down the horn and began experimenting with the sixstring once again. A key component of Magic City’s sound is Chorney’s unconventional approach to the instrument. He achieves different tones by placing foam strips or insulated telephone wire beneath the strings at various positions around the soundhole. “I brought my guitar to a session one day, and lying on the ground was a piece of foam rubber,” he says. “I just put it on the strings, and I instantly said aha!” Chorney demonstrates the effect; his rhythmic, cyclical picking can evoke sounds ranging from a harp to a gamelan. “Over the last year, I’ve been really exploring it,” he goes on. “I have a whole formula for each treatment. But the great thing about it is that it’s never quite the same — the overtones are different every time. I’m really excited about it, because in a way, I’ve invented my own instrument. It’s liberating to me because there’s no standard.” Another thing that sets Magic City apart is their approach to performance. Rather than soloing over a set of changes, as is typical of small jazz combos, band members voice the material as a single instrument. Even Bernardo’s gorgeous, low-toned pipes are simply another component of the group’s voluptuous sound. This is exactly how Chorney wants it. “I really enjoy jazz, and I love to hear people display their technical abilities — it’s like watching a gymnastic meet or something >> 38A

Chorney achieves different tones by placing foam strips or insulated telephone wire beneath the strings at various positions around the soundhole. like that,” Chorney says. “It’s thrilling. But music also encompasses art. To have your technical ability not only express your hours and hours of practice, but also your artistic mind, is another form of discipline.” Magic City grew out of Chorney’s repeat collaborations with Bernardo, which found them tackling some pretty bold material. “Right before Magic City, Miriam and I had a group called The Seven Deadly Sins, which performed the music of Kurt Weill,” he says. Noted for his subversive use of classical and jazz music as a weapon of social criticism, the German composer — who was most active in the late ’20s — created
work that deliberately challenged audiences. “A lot of the reasons for why we chose that material came from the state of the world,” Chorney explains. “Weill’s work dealt directly with social and political issues. We did a couple of successful concerts, but the songs are pretty brutal. One of the pieces we performed is called ‘What Keeps Mankind Alive,’ and the punchline, so to speak, is that man is kept alive by bestial acts. And meanwhile the war is raging, and what’s going on politically is insane. So I started thinking, what if we dealt with these issues by going in the complete opposite direction? What if we presented music from another planet, which negates what seems to be the nature of mankind, and insists upon an alternate, perhaps more beautiful reality?” The music of Sun Ra fit the bill perfectly. Originally, Chorney and Bernardo imagined a more literal tribute, with two drummers and a full horn section. An intimate runthrough of a few Ra compositions made them re-think their initial idea. “One night, when we were playing with Seven Deadly Sins, we opened with some Sun Ra tunes, just the two of us,” Chorney says. “The feeling for me was of absolute freedom. It was so special and spellbinding, that that’s where we decided to go with it.” Chorney also felt they were on to something, and was eager to continue. “I was really curious to see how this kind of material would affect an audience — you know, singing about living in the space age. But from the first couple of shows, it was so obvious. The
experience was truly magical.” You might think that’s how the group earned their handle, but the moniker actually comes from the nickname for Birmingham, Alabama — Sun Ra’s place of birth and final resting ground. “He grew up there, and even wrote a couple of pieces with the title — ‘East Side of Magic City,’ and so forth,” Chorney explains. Over the course of his career, the far-out composer earned a reputation for being deliberately obscure. In spite of Sun Ra’s eccentricities, Chorney recalls being instantly drawn to his work. “The first time I heard Sun Ra was in 1986 at Hunt’s in Burlington,” he says. “From the first note, I realized I was hearing the concert of my life. The music was a combination of absolute delight, driving intensity and sheer beauty. They incorporated humor, but it never diminished the regal import of the whole endeavor. I hesitate to use the word spiritual, because it has certain connotations. But there’s something truly heartening there.” Bernardo feels similarly. “They’re celestial lullabies — the music gives hope,” she says. “I truly love it, it just opens me up. In doing this music, I can let go of perfection and just go for the embodiment. I also like to watch how it hits certain people.” When he arranges Sun Ra’s music for the band, Chorney takes quite a few liberties. But he aims to preserve the overall character of the work. “The melodies are there, the basic chords are there,” Chorney says, comparing his approach to arranging to that of Miles Davis collaborator Gil Evans. “I think it’s all fair game as long as the spirit of the piece

! is completely intact and adhered to throughout.� Re-imagining Sun Ra’s big band compositions for a smaller, chamber-style group might seem like a pretty radical move, but Chorney says it was perfectly natural. “Doing away with concerning ourselves with that was great,� he explains. “Big band was not what we were doing, you can’t do that with a four or five piece anyway, so we were like, fine — we’ll do it with what we have.� So far, Sun Ra fans are responding favorably. “We had someone come up to us last year at a festival who said, ‘God, who would think a bunch of white folks from Vermont would be carrying on Sun Ra’s legacy, but you guys really seem to be doing it,’� Chorney recalls. Although Sun Ra’s work provides plenty of “space� to explore, Chorney is already working on expanding the group’s repertoire. “I’m just starting to compose original pieces for the band,� he says. “They’re in the hopper, but I’m not rushing them.� This new material will most likely feature lyrical contributions from several of Chorney’s literary pals. “I have several friends that are pretty renowned poets — Carla Van Vleet, Anna Blackmer, Bud Lawrence, Chico Martin — who I’ve talked to about writing a song,� he says. “They get to write the lyrics, indicate the tempo and tell me if it’s major or minor, and I’ll put music to it. I already have one of them from Carla, and it’s fantastic.� Given Magic City’s talent, the recorded result promises to be spellbinding. m

!ESCULAPIUS -EDICAL #ENTER CARLO ROVETTO (LEFT) AND PATRICK BROOKS IN THE POSITIVE Î 2 SPACE
This summer Rovetto is opening a second, much larger storefront in Montpelier, where he can finally combine his two passions: pizza and promotion. He’s transformed the 3000-square-foot space previously occupied by the State Street Market into a serious music venue, complete with full-sized stage, DJ booth and dance floor. The veneer plaster walls, exposed brick and a super-high ceiling painted midnight blue suggest a real urban nightclub in the making. Live entertainment at Langdon Street Cafe and the Black Door Bar & Bistro has already put Montpelier back on the musical map. When Positive Π2 opens in July, it’ll add a reggae beat to the Capital City’s rockin’ Renaissance. “People were itching for something to do here,� Rovetto observes. That’s why he and Brooks first started throwing musical parties at their respective homes in Marshfield and Waterbury — “like house parties with bands, not normal parties,� Brooks clarifies. Once they brought in a band from Boston. “We started getting some really good crowds. Hundreds of people, basically.� Rovetto also hosted live music on a regular basis at his funky Plainfield pizzeria. Most of it was “really small stuff,� he concedes, with one exception: a reggae show “that was full-blown all over the streets,� he recalls, chuckling. Apparently, town residents in close proximity didn’t appreciate the vibrations. “But it was more those parties that we had at the house� Brooks says, that inspired them to take it to another level. “We just liked hosting,� Brooks says. Also, the annual Vermont Reggae Festival had finally imploded and Higher Ground

had been shut for months. Without a trace of cynicism, Brooks explains that by making shows happen at public venues, it gave him — and everyone else — “something to look forward to.” It’s that simple? “You learn to do it as you do it,” Brooks explains, noting that he and Rovetto drew a lot of valuable lessons from their first show last October. They booked Midnite, a St. Croix-based reggae band, to play at the Rusty Nail. At $10 a ticket, it sold out, but when all the bills were in, the duo came up short by a couple hundred dollars. “We didn’t realize all the extra expenses: hotel, food, promotions. Those color flyers are two bucks a piece,” Brooks says. They charged twice as much for tickets to their next concert, Sly & Robbie, and did better financially. In fact, the dub kings who formed the original rhythm section for Peter Tosh generated a tidy profit for the two entrepreneurs. Sure, there was a small problem with one of the musicians, who was convinced he’d found a piece of camel meat in his food — which, in this case, was an authentic Jamaican dinner. Generally speaking, though, managing talent doesn’t appear to be 1 lb.’s biggest concern. Managing money is. The cash they cleared on Sly & Robbie was lost over the next three shows. Two of them happened within a week of each other at Waitfield’s Eclipse Theater after the beleaguered venue had already shut down. Brooks had to take out a loan against his truck to cover his portion of the debt. Resigned, he says with a laugh, “I make loan payments now.” On both occasions, weather was also an issue. “If it starts snowing, you can expect half the people to show,” Brooks informs. Other hard-earned revelations that may be unique to sparsely populated, snowboarder-infested Central Vermont: Weekends are much better than weekdays. And Rovetto points out the importance of having enough time to build excitement between shows. He’s learned it’s unrealistic to expect the local reggae audience to drop $20 on entertainment more than once a month. Choosing acts is the easy part. At least in the reggae realm, Rovetto and Brooks seem to have good programming instincts. That’s probably because “it’s stuff that we know,” says Brooks. “It’s easy to tell people something will be good if you’re confident about it.” Easier still when you’re mixing with them all day long in Stowe, Plainfield and Montpelier. As pizza purveyors, Rovetto and Brooks are perfectly positioned to promote their presentations to customers easily converted into reggae fans. But ask them about demographics, and they both look puzzled. They’ve clearly stumbled into their niche. Urged to be more analytical, Rovetto adds, “We’ve learned to take our time and really check it out — to get a reaction from people before we jump in and get it.” Reading the buzz on a band can mean the difference between packing the house and playing an empty room. Either way, the presenter still has to pay for the act. The goal, Rovetto explains, is “to build, like, a name,” — artistic credibility — so when people hear it’s a 1 lb. production, “they know it’ll be a good show, an experience.” Rovetto cites one money-losing concert at the Eclipse as an example. Although it was poorly attended, Sister Nancy, Brigadier Jerry and Sammy Dread drew fans from as far away as Virginia and Pennsylvania. And “spiritually, it was incredible,” he says, beaming. “The people that did go talked about it for weeks.” Such good reviews, spread by word of mouth, should get a few more reluctant reggae fans off the fence next time. The duo’s Culture show sold out last weekend. They’re trying to set up a big concert in Bolton at the end of August — “with a huge tent,” Brooks adds. Also in the works is a fall hip-hop series at the Rusty Nail that would include Inspectah Deck, formerly of the Wu-Tang Clan. “We’ll do something in Burlington eventually,” Brooks promises. In the meantime, there’s the Montpelier space, which Rovetto plans to program with live music a
We want to promote a high level of consciousness with our shows. CARLO ROVETTO couple of nights a week. “Lots of people are excited to play here,” he says. “I’ve got stacks and stacks of promo stuff.” He expects profits from the pizza side of the business will even out the ups and downs of the in-house entertainment. It’s still a gamble, though. Wide-eyed Brooks reports he recently heard about a guy in the biz who lost $30,000 on a single show. He vows, “I’d do it for free if I knew I wasn’t going to lose any money.” But the financial stress hasn’t dulled his enthusiasm. With minimal urging, Brooks and Rovetto are happy to talk about their long-range plans, which include a 1 lb. recording studio, custom tour and a line of reggae-playing cruise ships. Even articulating grand visions, though, these two guys are as far from slick as it gets. “We’re not in it for the money,” Rovetto says. “We’re in it for the good vibes.” Brooks seconds, “We never want to get to the point where we’re not having fun doing it. That would suck.” 쩾

Why Not Wi-fi? Bill Simmon from Candleblog raised this question yesterday, and I want to draw attention to his post about Burlington's conspicuous and bothersome lack of wi-fi access. He writes:
In Burlington, the owners of the excellent cafe Muddy Waters have made a conscious decision to not offer wireless internet to their customers — free or otherwise. When I asked Carrie, one of the owners, about this decision, she said that they wanted to foster a more interpersonal environment and not have people sitting at tables in the cafe with their noses stuck in computers all day. This response confused me. If interpersonal interaction is the goal, then why line the walls of the cafe with bookshelves full of books? Why discriminate between digital and analog antisocial behaviors?
Win your way into the Mile High Club. Trip #2 is going on now. Join the buzz crew in Chicago for Lollapalooza!! Featuring The Pixies, Weezer, the Killers and more!
I got a similar response when I asked about Muddy's lack of wi-fi last August. Read more and comment, both on the blog, and to our esteemed local cafe owners. FYI, you can find free wi-fi at Radio Bean and at Speeder and Earl's on Pine Street. Also at Bruegger's on Church St. [read more online]

<music> ANOTHER KIND OF BLUE :: Vocalist Madeleine Peyroux is becoming a certifiable sensation. Eight years after her critically acclaimed (but commercially overlooked) album Dreamland introduced her sultry voice to the world, she’s finally getting her due. Her latest disc, Careless Love, showcases her Billie Holiday-esque pipes on smoky blues, back-porch country and jazzy torch songs. Born in Georgia but raised in California, Paris and the Big Apple, Peyroux brings her crosscultural upbringing to her musical worldview. Her unique phrasing adds new flavors to a variety of covers, while her originals show an artist continuing to grow. She kicks off Burlington’s Discover Jazz Fest this Friday with local pickers Jamie Masefield and Doug Perkins.

JOHNSON STATE COLLEGE: THE MUSICAL I’ve personally never cared much for musical theater, but I know a hell of a lot of other folks do. It seems like every other week, there’s a movie, TV show or breakfast cereal being given the song and dance on Broadway, and the audiences are only getting bigger. I think they should start transforming cheesy ’80s horror flicks into musicals — how ’bout Sleepaway Camp for starters? Until this year, New Englanders had to go to Boston or New York universities to receive a musicaltheater education. Now, toe-tapping thespians can learn the trade right here in Vermont. Johnson State College recently announced a new Bachelor’s degree program that “will meet the rigorous demands of singer-actor training,” according to JSC Performing Arts professor Russ Longtin. The liberal arts college has more than 1700 students, with 110 currently enrolled in performing arts classes. College representatives expect those numbers to grow as a result of the new major. “Putting the program together made ultimate sense for us at this time,” says Music Professor Lisa Jablow. “Virtually all of the curricular elements were already in place and, with the musical once again a driving force on Broadway, the demand is there.” Members of the theatrical community agree. “The genre dominates production choices on Broadway, summer stock and at many colleges,” says Tom Stevens, artistic director of QuarryWorks Theater. “A musical theater degree from JSC will give students an edge in the job market.” I just hope none of them steals my Sleepaway Camp idea.

REMEMBERING RACHEL Vermont singer-songwriter Rachel Bissex’s passing left a major void in the Green Mountain folk music community. A lifelong friend of local arts, her beautiful voice and positivity is sorely missed. This month, a live music series in her honor wraps up at Charlie B’s at the Stoweflake Mountain Resort & Spa in Stowe. The series benefits the Rachel Bissex College Fund, to help finance her children’s education, as well as several local nonprofits dedicated to funding breast cancer research. Singer-songwriter Jason Cann performs with a few friends on Friday, June 3, while contemporary pop sensation Gregory Douglass offers his talents the following evening. Both shows kick off at 8 p.m. and are free, with silent auction bids and donations accepted at each performance. Joey Leone, Jim Branca and special guests bring their high-energy rhythm and blues to Stowe’s Rusty Nail for the series finale on Saturday, June 11. That show is $15 and starts at 8 p.m. If you’re looking for a way to celebrate the life of one of Vermont’s great talents, here’s one that Bissex would surely bless.
Do you think the Burlington club scene has pretty much sucked since Phish stopped playing Nectar’s? Well, ex-Vermont rockers The Torpedoes have got you covered. Back in the mid ’80s, the band — then called The Pink Torpedoes, after a Spinal Tap lyric — were an integral part of the Burlington music scene. Regulars at Hunt’s, Nectar’s and other local clubs, the group’s freewheeling music earned them a place in local rock history. According to band member Kevin Kleitz, they even had an early brush with greatness. “When our drummer took a four-week sabbatical, our happy hour gig at Doolin’s — now Ruben James — was given to a little known band called Phish, who reluctantly relinquished the spot upon his return,” he says. “It’s no coincidence that a subsequent Phish splinter group featuring Jon Fishman dubbed themselves Pork Tornado.” Huh? While The Torpedoes never became as well known as that other VT group, they have entertained audiences from Los Angeles to the Big Apple, releasing four CDs on their own Hungerford Horror label. Most of the band attended college at UVM, and they’ll be back in town for a college reunion — what better time to get a little “pink”? — that falls during the Discover Jazz Festival. Skip the swing and get ready to rock at Finnigan’s Pub on Friday, June 3 and Saturday, June 4 at 9:30 p.m.
SAX SWITCHEROO You might have already heard the news, but there’s been a slight change to the lineup of The Saxophone Summit, the post-bop supergroup comprising Michael Brecker, Joe Lovano and Dave Liebman. Due to circumstances beyond anyone’s control, their Discover Jazz Festival appearance will now feature young lion Chris Potter, who is temporarily filling in for an ailing Brecker. Brecker underwent corrective surgery for a cracked vertebrae last August, and has been given doctor’s orders to sit this gig out. Actually, he’s been forced to cancel most of his appearances over the last nine months. A 2004 jazz fest favorite, Potter has played with Dave Holland and Steely Dan, and was the winner of Downbeat Magazine’s 2003 Rising Star of the Tenor Saxophone award. Lovano and Liebman are fully confident in Potter’s abilities. “We’re very pleased to be joined by a beacon of the next generation, who embodies the spirit of creativity and musicianship that is the heart of our Saxophone Summit,” they said in a recent press release. Big praise, coming from these two.

reviewthis THE LOYALISTS, GET WHAT YOU GIVE
BIG SPIKE BLUEGRASS, CHEATIN’/LYING/LEAVIN’/CRYING (Self-released, CD)
(Backbone Records, CD) Burlington’s The Loyalists are proving that quality hip-hop isn’t just an inner city phenomenon. One of a few local rap acts to rhyme convincingly about life in the Green Mountains, the band’s sturdy tunes stay true to the genre’s past, while maintaining a sharp modern edge. Their sophomore CD, Get What You Give, showcases the group’s strong lyrical and production skills, raising the bar considerably for other local hip-hoppers. Formed in 2001, The Loyalists feature the crafty turntable/production work of E-Train & Touchphonics, as well as the spirited, punchy flow of MC Frameworks. From an engineering angle, the new disc is top-notch — it actually sounds better than many popular national releases. The hooks are definitely old-school, but in this day and age of computer-assisted slicing and dicing, it’s refreshing to hear head-nodding breakbeats and record scratching. Following a brief spoken-word intro, the record kicks off with “Easy Street,� a quicksilver verbal account of the group’s origins. “Called Touchphonics a year ago, dialed the phone/Still in Boston, and told him in a serious tone/We have to finish what we began, do you accept/Coming back to Burlington and building our rep?� Framework spits over a tinkling piano sample and tough-as-nails rhythms. Loaded with hip-hop braggadocio, the song’s tale of underdogs coming together really gets your blood pumping. The title track bounces relentlessly as Touchphonics attacks hip-hop poseurs and opportunists. “We are The Loyalists, on the rise/Much more than oil is/These rappers are spoiled kids/Starving for attention,� he confidently blasts. I have to say, this guy is one of the most talented rappers I’ve heard in awhile, in or out of the Green Mountains. Smart, willful and rhythmically clever, he weaves around the beat like a pro — here’s hoping the rest of the world gets the chance to hear him. “Golden Rule� features local superstar Craig Mitchell, whose soulful voice adds an extra layer of class to an already solid cut. Touchphonics counters Mitchell’s smooth croon with fiery charisma. “More underground than the Ark of the Covenant/Step up and you’re gonna get done with,� he raps menacingly. And the rugged beats and lyrical invectives keep coming: Pound for pound, Get What You Give is one of the most consistently satisfying local releases I’ve heard yet this year. Get on The Loyalists tip now. You’ll be rewarded for it.
Big Spike Bluegrass, a quintet of fine musicians based in northern Vermont, has an answer for those who question whether there’s any “real� bluegrass music coming out of New England: their promising debut album, Cheatin’/Lying/Leavin’/Crying. The band is headed down the same dusty road navigated by past and present North Country bluegrass combos such as the Gibson Brothers, Breakaway, The Bluegrass Gospel Project, Pine Island and Banjo Dan & the Mid-nite Plowboys. Even though there isn’t a single traditional bluegrass cover on this disc, each one of the 13 cuts — mostly arranged in classic mid-1940s Bill Monroe-bluegrass style — sounds like it could have been written decades earlier. In fact, almost all of the tunes are original, penned either by the band’s mandolinist/fiddler Neil Rossi or guitarist Pete Langdell. Evoking the legacies of seminal country musicians Jimmie Rodgers and Charlie Poole, the timelessness of the music leaves no doubt that the composers spent lots of time listening to and enjoying the old country and bluegrass classics. Langdell’s talents extend beyond just pickin’ — a luthier, his Rigel Mandolins are currently played by pros such as Chris Thile and Jamie Masefield. Rossi and Langdell, along with banjo player Bill Gaston, bassman Kirk Lord, lead fiddler Freeman Corey and guest dobro player Adam Frehm are all technically fine players who mesh well as a band. The band’s collective vocal abilities, however, do not quite measure up to their instrumental prowess. On many tracks the vocals sound as if they are mixed into the background. If they were punchier, you wouldn’t have to struggle to hear the words. Still, the overall vibe of the recording is homey and comfortable, like listening to a bunch of old friends making fine music in a big cozy living room. All told, Cheatin’/Lying is a fine debut from a group of talented players. On Wednesday, June 8, they’ll play as part of an exciting series of bluegrass shows at Henry’s Pub in the South Burlington’s Holiday Inn. Goin’?

Mann has followed her own miserable muse to the delight of die-hard fans everywhere.

FRETBOARD PHENOMENON :: Django Reinhardt was one of the most important
guitarists in the history of jazz. His lightning-fast licks still impress with their technical fluency and passion. The
John Jorgenson Quintet seeks to replicate the fiery magic and straight-out swing of Reinhardt’s best work — no small feat, indeed. But Jorgenson is up to the task: A classically trained musician, he’s worked with six-string psychos The Hellecasters, and even played Django in a recent motion picture. See how he stacks up to the

OPENINGS
In the Abstract
T EXHIBIT “Escaping the Literal,” abstract paintings, sculptures and digital works by more than 30 local artists. Main Gallery, Studio Place Arts, Barre. Through June 18.
ARTWORK “Wrap” by Torin Porter
PHOTO Marc Awodey
he abstract sculptor Constantin Brancusi considered himself a realist and wrote: “The people who call my work ‘abstract’ are imbeciles; that which they call ‘abstract’ is the purest realism whose reality is not represented by exterior form but by the idea behind it, the essence of the work.” At least a few of the 30-plus Vermont artists now showing at Studio Place Arts might express similar sentiments. In many cases, abstraction is about realities hidden beneath objective form. In others, abstract artists have simply invented new realities. “String Theory,” by Johnson artist Lucinda Mason, is a large-scale, mixedmedia oil of the hidden-realities type. Its thin white lines and red forms floating in a black field resemble graphic representations of the six-dimensional universe envisioned by theoretical physics. Dots are strung along the loopy lines, like points on a continuum. Harriet Woods’ acrylics “Tsunami #1” and “Tsunami #2” are less naturalistic than “String Theory.” The Marshfield painter’s vibrant abstract expressionist visions capture a tsunami’s froth and chaos. Woods floods her canvasses with agitated brushwork in earth tones and bright green. Other paintings in “Escaping the Literal” have completely liberated them-
selves from two dimensionality. From a distance, “Envelop,” by Carleen Zimbalatti of East Calais, looks like two adjoining, swirled forms on a red square. But up close you’ll notice that the square is painted directly onto the gallery wall, and the swirls are tightly coiled twine. Tinka Theresa Martell of Fairfax also transcends the traditional boundaries of painting. Her “Untitled II” is an organically formed vertical oil on wood. The piece’s white-and-blue surface is too painterly to qualify as simply a wall-mounted sculpture. It’s painterly, therefore a painting. In contrast, Burlington artist Jamey May’s flatter “Untitled I, II & III” is clearly a wall-mounted sculpture. Using the architectonic materials of glass and wood, it combines three geometric shapes that add up to being a circle within a square. The piece is purely sculptural and transparent rather than colorful. Several of the in-the-round sculptures are particularly strong. Torin Porter of Glover fashioned surrealistic 3dimensional forms which appear to have sprung from a Roberto Matta mural. “Wrap” seems to be a wooden pillow with spikes attached by giant rubber bands. His “Origine” is a large wooden ball with long stems inserted into it. Each has a giant bud at its end.
“Enough With the Small” by Jake Rifkin of Burlington is a three-foot-high steel wirework on a pedestal, presenting vertical movement in three stages. The lowest tier is a bundle, the middle part has wire shaped into a tunnel, and the upper part is a more open space. At least that’s one interpretation of the piece. A dozen different viewers might see it a dozen different ways, which is one reason “Enough With the Small” is so strong. Lilian Aye’s titles, “Caged” and “Stairs,” are a little more closely related to the compositions they name. The North Ferrisburgh artist uses recycled metal in two pedestal pieces. “Caged” seems to be a spike encircled by a fat automotive spring, while “Stairs” is a roller coaster of stair shapes. SPA guest curator Maggie Neale, a Montpelier painter, did an outstanding job on the show. In her curatorial statement, she prepares viewers for its approach by suggesting, “Abstract art is more about experimenting with relationships in color and form than actually representing content.” Brancusi and other first-generation abstractionists would probably have taken it one step further. They would have asserted that color and form are content enough, and ultimately more meaningful than any representational trifle. m

SHORTS
The Longest Yard HHH
A THE ODD SQUAD: Sandler teams up with Rock to lead a line-up of colorful cons in this remake of the 1974 favorite.
t least half the humor of this remake emanates from its having been made at all. As funny as anything said or done in the film is the fact that someone in Hollywood actually thought audiences would find it amusing to watch Adam Sandler pretend to be an alcoholic ex-pro quarterback doing time in a federal prison straight out of Animal House. More comical, many millions of dollars were spent bringing that bizarro world vision to the screen. Some audiences will find it amusing to watch, if only in places. The whole loosey-goosey loopiness of the enterprise is somewhat endearing. Is it not fascinating to have the opportunity to see Adam Sandler doing Burt Reynolds, of all people? Not the tragicomic Reynolds of recent years, but the Reynolds who at a specific moment in history embodied American virility and cool? It’s the equivalent of Lisa Kudrow taking on the Brigitte Bardot role in And God Created Woman or Tina Fey redoing Barbarella. The reviews I’ve read have been pretty much split down the middle. Some critics have found the comic actor convincing as a former pro-football star. Others haven’t. That controversy misses the point, however. The very notion of Sandler presiding over an update of the 1974 film is funny nearly to the point of being surreal. He’s not good or bad at being Burt Reynolds; he’s frickin’ Adam Sandler being Burt Reynolds. If that’s not funny, it’s at least terrifically weird. Arrested in the opening sequence for joyriding drunkenly in his girlfriend’s Bentley, Paul “Wrecking” Crewe is incarcerated in a Texas facility whose warden (James Cromwell) is obsessed with the game of football. The prison guards play in some sort of organized league, and Cromwell’s character sees the arrival of Sandler as the key to restoring the team to its former glory. He decides to arrange for a game between his men and a squad of prisoners, figuring the act of humiliating them on the gridiron will give the guards the pick-me-up they need to go on and play a winning season. Sandler is recruited to assemble the team of convicts and whip it into reasonable shape. He initially declines, due to threats he’s received from a brutal guard, but eventually consents, due to threats he receives from the warden. The middle of the movie chronicles his recruitment efforts, made more challenging by the fact that Crewe was once at the center of a
point-shaving scandal. Many in the prison community appear to hold this ethical breach against him. Chris Rock costars in the role of Caretaker, the obligatory jailbird who operates a black market. He plays it as a riff on the role Morgan Freeman had in The Shawshank Redemption. Rock shows Sandler the ropes, introduces him to some athletic black inmates — the hip-hop artist Nelly among them — and uses his connections to acquire uniforms for the Mean Machine. What he does not produce is much in the way of laughs. That’s the thing about The Longest Yard. It’s an Adam Sandler comedy that costars Chris Rock and yet is curiously light on jokes. Instead, the script attempts to generate humor primarily through the tried-and-true sports-comedy process of assembling a motley grab bag of nutballs. It’s the same gimmick used in everything from Major League to The Replacements. Every ragtag, underdog outfit seems to include certain generic types: the comical fat guy, the mammoth glandular case, the short fellow with something to prove, the psycho, etc. The film plays it strictly by the game book here and, if not for Sandler’s occasional off-kilter one liner, would score few points for originality. The final third of the film, the actual face-off between the guards and the prisoners, manages to be entertaining in spite of the fact that the outcome is a foregone conclusion. Given the genre, it would have been a foregone conclusion even if this hadn’t been a remake. Of the few real surprises, the biggest is probably Burt Reynolds’ face. The actor has a supporting role as a former Heisman Trophy winner who ends up coaching the con team. Talk about a face-lift gone wrong. The guy looks like he’s pulling five or six Gs at a dead stop. The skin that was on the front of his face in the original Longest Yard currently resides somewhere in the neighborhood of his ears. Whatever he’s undergone has left him with a very strange, vaguely Asian look. The bottom line? The new version possesses none of the original’s bristling stick-it-to-the-man drama. At the same time, the cast of the original didn’t include even a single rapper. What can I say? The Longest Yard will be long forgotten come Oscar time, but there are worse ways for a summer movie season to kick off. m
CINDERELLA MANHHHH Russell Crowe stars in the latest from Ron Howard, the amazing true story of James J. Braddock, who made one of the unlikeliest comebacks in boxing history. With Renee Zellweger.

(100 min, R) CURSEDHH Christina Ricci and Joshua Jackson are paired in the latest from horror legend Wes Craven, the supernatural saga of a brother and sister who develop superhuman abilities in the wake of a mysterious car crash. Shannon Elizabeth costars. (86 min, PG-13) FEVER PITCHHH The Farrelly brothers adapt Nick Hornby’s autobiographical bestseller into a romantic comedy featuring Drew Barrymore and Jimmy Fallon as a couple trying to come to grips with Fallon’s all-consuming obsession with the Red Sox.

SEVEN DAYS THE BIKE THIEF
flick chick
BY SUSAN GREEN
SHORT TAKES ON THE REEL WORLD
Smarg Moves
The picture centers on the “farcical complications” facing a young man who steals a bike to escape the German shepherd that’s chasing him. “But I did give Vittorio De Sica a little homage montage, if you will,” Smarg concedes. With a successful early May premiere on the Vermont campus behind him, he’ll cross the Atlantic to screen his film at a downtown York theater on June 19. The genesis of The Bike Thief, which was not an official school endeavor,
speaks to Smarg’s American can-do attitude. “In York, I went to a meeting of the cinematography society,” he recalls. “About 40 people were pitching ideas — usually only five are approved.” Each chosen project was allowed a week’s access to the limited supply of equipment. “I needed three months,” Smarg says. “That became part of the adventure: figuring out how to get the necessary gear.” The picture centers on the “farcical complications” facing a young man who steals a bike to escape the German shepherd that’s chasing him. “It’s a sort of comedy with an ambiguous ending,” Smarg explains. “There are three main characters in a cast of about 20 Brits and a few Scots.” Four years ago, he formed a company called Maverick Film Works that crafts corporate promotional videos. He made enough from the venture to finance the $10,000 budget for The Bike Thief. Everyone worked for free, but Smarg often took them out for dinner. Because the equipment was in PAL format, which is common in Europe, Smarg needed to buy special gizmos to transfer his 20 hours of footage to digital video. He finished editing just before his Vermont debut. Next stop? Maybe Hollywood. “Hopefully, The Bike Thief will qualify for the student film festival circuit,” Smarg says. “I have one more semester at Middlebury. Then, if I can make some connection — like an agent — I’ll go to L.A.”
Rob Williams set out to create a documentary with “that high-brow, Ken Burnsy, PBS look.” Although the 37year-old Waitsfield resident happens to be a fiddler, his 30-minute Independence Trilogy: U.S. Empire, Green Mountain Voices and Vermont Independence does not boast a Ken Burnsy musical score. He had no money and little time for such flourishes, but may eventually add some tunes to the soundtrack. “This is a work-in-progress,” Williams says. “We plan to show it once a month around the state.” Meanwhile, his film — about the state’s secession movement — is slated for an 8 p.m. screening on June 3 at Knoll Farm’s Center for Whole Communities in Fayston. Williams is associate publisher of Vermont Commons, a monthly print journal and website with a blog. It’s affiliated with the group Second Vermont Republic, which sponsored a “summit meeting” in Middlebury last fall that is the focus of the digital-video doc. The event addressed “big 21st-century economic and social problems we need to start solving at the local level,” Williams points out. “The U.S. Empire has become
the thing we seceded from in 1776.” A fresh look at Inherit the Wind might shed light on an old controversy: evolution versus “intelligent design.” That’s new lingo for creationism. Director Stanley Kramer’s melodramatic 1960 film fictionalized the infamous Scopes Monkey Trial of 1925, in which a Tennessee biology teacher committed the “crime” of discussing the banned Darwinian theory with his high school students. The case pitted legendary defense attorney Clarence Darrow against prosecutor William Jennings Bryan, a Christian fundamentalist. Spencer Tracey and Frederick March portray these historical figures, whose names were changed for purposes of artistic license. The script was adapted from newspaper accounts of the court proceedings by reporter H.L. Mencken, played under a different moniker by Gene Kelly. For those who assume that science only does battle with religion in the Red States, guess again. On May 3, the New York State Assembly introduced a bill that would require schools to pair evolution with “intelligent design” in the classroom. Sounds like a movie. m

fickle fannie BY DAVID DIEFENDORF
READ THIS FIRST:
This week, as always, the things Fannie likes (shown in CAPITAL letters) all follow a secret rule. Can you figure out what it is? NOTE: Fickle Fannie likes words. But each week she likes something different about them — how they’re spelled, how they sound, how they look, what they mean, or what’s inside them.
Out of intense AVERSION, Penny mailed a fish head to her boss. The pie thrown in Bill Gates’ face came as a SHOCK to him. Did you know that the dog FAMILY includes seals and sea lions? Tony Perkins looked the part in Hitchcock’s PSYCHO. The fire-eating profession has its OCCUPATIONAL hazards. Some folks have a PRIMAL urge for Hostess Twinkies. Falling in love affects a person’s COGNITIVE functioning. REGRESSION lets you relive your alien abduction experiences. War is a reluctant GROUP effort perpetrated by a few bruised egos. The AROMA of lilacs is known to cure peevishness. E me with your Qs or comments (dd44art@aol.com). Difficulty rating for this puzzle: HARD AS HEALING. If you’re stuck, see the HINT on this page. If you cave, see the ANSWER on page 63A. So much for Fickle Fannie’s tastes this week. Next week she’ll have a whole new set of likes and dislikes.
FICKLE FANNIE HINT: The silent treatment would not be included here.
D
an Smarg was still a New Hampshire teenager in 2000 when he and a friend made a short film adapted from Heart of Darkness. Their title, Bluepocalypse Now, spoofed the 1979 Francis Ford Coppola epic that re-imagined Joseph Conrad’s novella in Vietnam. The kids won the top prize at the National High School Film Festival in New York. Now a 23-year-old Middlebury College senior majoring in film and English, Smarg shot The Bike Thief during his stint as an exchange student at England’s York University last year. Although the feature-length production implies a take-off on the 1949 Italian neo-realist classic The Bicycle Thief, it’s not.

PIZZA ON THE GRILL! Rebecca Katula is our Grocery Manager… but she can cook too! Here are a couple of her grilled pizza recipes.
SOME QUICK TIPS:
Rebecca’s Smoked Salmon & Chevre Pizza Prepare pizza crust as directed Sprinkle with thinly sliced red onion. Grill for about 3 minutes then add slices of smoked salmon and dollop on as much chevre as you like. Put this back on the grill for about 2 more minutes - just enough to melt the chevre a bit - this is gourmet in minutes
1. Large crusts are hard to flip, so make small pizzas. 2. Simple ingredients that need only to be heated through make the best toppings for grilled pizza. 3. Oil helps keep the dough moist so keep a brush and small bowl of olive oil nearby. Brush the crust before grilling, and again when it’s flipped. 4. Once the topping is heated through, you want to get the pizza off the grill right away. Use tongs to grab it and slide it right onto a plate. 5. We sell a great grill tool called the Giddy-Up Grill Wok that is perfect for grilling pizzas!
HOW TO GRILL A PIZZA CRUST: Rebecca’s Mexican Pizza
We love to use Junior’s Pizza Dough, made right in Colchester at Junior’s and sold in our dairy case. One package will make about 3 small pizzas.
Prepare pizza crust as directed
Stretch small rounds into 8” disks and brush some plain olive oil over each, salt and pepper to taste. Slide your hand under several rounds and flip them onto the grill (or put one in the giddy-up grill wok), oiled-side down. Grill until dark brown grill marks appear, 1 – 2 minutes. Burst any bubbles that develop. Brush the tops with more olive oil, remove from grill onto a clean baking sheet, grilled side up.
Remove from grill, flip crust, brush with oil. top with slices of grilled chicken, your favorite salsa, a mixture of mozzarella and cheddar cheeses, some refried black beans and/or corn. Slide the pizzas back on the grill and cover each pizza with a disposable aluminum pie plate. Grill until the bottoms are crisp and the cheese melted. About 3 minutes. Really, really, really excellent!

DIFFERENT DRUMMER Timekeeper Matt Wilson is probably best known for his eponymous quartet. He stretches the “classic” jazz quartet sound with his outfit, Arts and Crafts. Joined by bassist Dennis Irwin, trumpeter Terell Stafford and pianist Larry Goldings, the versatile and energetic drummer delights in a fresh, do-it-yourself vibe. Look for playful, quirky improvisations such as “Free Range Chicken,” which ends with him playing a bicycle bell. And expect arresting musicianship to underpin his frolicsome approach; Wilson was recently named Down Beat’s number-one Rising Star Drummer for the second year in a row. Catch him if you can.
MATT WILSON’S ARTS & CRAFTS Tuesday, June 7, FlynnSpace, Burlington, 8:30 p.m. $22. Info, 863-5966.

<calendar > scene@SPRING MOVE-OUT PROJECT LOOMIS STREET, BURLINGTON, FRIDAY, MAY 27, 12:30 P.M. When I arrived at the area on Loomis Street blocked off for the Move-Out Project, about 15 people were milling around. But that number soon ballooned as more came to drop off items, then stayed to peruse the piles. Sponsored by three area colleges, the drop-and-swap event aims to reduce the number of recliners abandoned curbside and ghetto yard-sales gone bad at the end of the school year. The Chittenden Solid Waste District organizes, and sends any leftovers to local nonprofits. For the first time this year, there was a second-chance drop-off at the CSWD’s Pine Street location, on the last day of the month. But for those who le town on Memorial Day weekend, today was the day. Different zones were reserved for different kinds of stuff. The furniture area held futon frames, mattresses, some suspicious-looking chairs, a wooden ironing board, and even a working washing machine. Household items included a bamboo cricket cage, two early ’80s IBM PC Jr. joysticks, and a slightly squeaky 3-hole punch. But the busiest spot was the pile of clothes, where high bargainbasement drama erupted when two ladies grabbed the same sweater. “Best show in town, huh?” said one woman to another, with a grin. Once secured, items had to be guarded. “That’s taken,” a man mumbled to someone scoping out his stash of a wooden bed frame and a small table. Finders keepers, dude. CSWD employees monitored the piles and helped handle larger items. You could tell they were tired, and the day was only half over. “People bring so much stuff, it’s like at the end of the day I don’t even want to carry my wallet,” one of the guys remarked. I’d begun to feel the same way. I’d planned just to watch, but found my arms filling with black suede leggings, a teal purse and a plastic, manual citrus-juicer. A passerby asked whether the street was closed for an auction. “Nope,” someone told him. “Everything’s free.” “No crap!” he responded. “Well, I’ll be right back then.” I figured he’d gone to get a wheelbarrow, and decided to hightail it before I needed one myself.

FRIDAY 03
GREEN SCENE
The Women’s Rape Crisis Center has been a go-to group for survivors of sexual assault for 22 years. During the past six months, however, the Burlington-based organization has experienced a stunning 96-percent increase in the number of survivors it’s helped in person, and the WRCC’s support hotline has also felt the pinch. This weekend, a garden-themed gala helps the nonprofit offset growing expenses. Horticulture whizzes Charlie Nardozzi, Ann Whitman and Kris Engstrom explain how to make plants happy. Harpist Evergreen Erb plays calming chords at a decadent dessert buffet, and a silent auction of items for gardens or gardeners includes tools, landscaping consultations and healing massages. Here’s to flower power.
THE GARDEN PARTY Friday, June 3, ECHO Center, Burlington, 7:30 p.m. $30. Info, 864-0555.

WHOLE NOTES
Feel like a little mood music? There are as many types of music as there are moods. Randolph-based soprano Marjorie Drysdale reminisces about her 30-year career with a twopart concert that encompasses a little of everything. “The privilege of being a singer is that there are so many kinds of music to explore,” says Drysdale. The vocalist sings art songs, opera and oratorio, Gilbert-and-Sullivan faves, and selections from Broadway musicals in the first half of the show, accompanied by members of the Sounding Joy! chorus, which she conducts. After intermission, The Montpelier Chamber Orchestra joins in for sections of Haydn’s The Creation and Puccini’s La Boheme, with tenor soloist Wayne Hobbs and Boston bass Don Wilkinson. Encore!

AIR FAIR
Need a lift? If seeing 45 balloons bobbing over green hills doesn’t raise your spirits, maybe it’s time to go up in one. But if getting into a gondola isn’t your cup of tea, don’t worry — there’s more to the Vermont Balloon & Music Festival than hot air. On top of alligators, dancing dogs and a Circus Smirkus aerial act by Burlington native Sam Johnson, a special $15 ticket provides unlimited access to midway rides. Rock ’n’ roll legends Herman’s Hermits and local swingers The Starline Rhythm Boys, among other bands, entertain high-fliers and ground-bound listeners. Festival goers gaze skyward at fireworks on Friday, and dozens of colorful Japanese-lantern-like globes light up Saturday night’s “balloon glow.” Bottoms up!
VERMONT BALLOON & MUSIC FESTIVAL Friday through Sunday, June 3-5, Champlain Valley Exposition, Essex Junction, various times. $10-12. Info, 878-5545.

JUNE 01 - 08
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Maybe all
tion, and its image appeared on numerous state souvenirs. But in May 2003, it collapsed overnight, weakened by millennia of freezing and thawing. According to my reading of the astrological omens, Cancerian, this event has resemblances to an imminent disintegration in your own life. Like the original, your experience might be sad, but mostly for nostalgic reasons. No one will get hurt, and ultimately you’ll feel exhilarated as you pick a new symbol to inspire you.
you really need right now is a grilled cheese sandwich. It’s quite possible that if you savor a wellmade version of that earthy delicacy, the things that are off-kilter in your life will get smooth and fresh again. I’m not kidding, Aries. The adjustment that will help you get back on track is likely to be minor — if not a grilled cheese sandwich, then maybe a haircut or a new bedspread or a fiveminute conversation that corrects a misimpression. That reminds me of another secret I want to tell you: Small actions can have big impacts.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Can you name 10 different beer brands but none of the Ten Commandments? That’s one of 25 signs that you will ultimately go to hell, according to divinity professor Jacob Pinewood, quoted in the Weekly World News. Here are other behaviors that may cause you eternal damnation: using the F word more than once a day; coveting your neighbor’s household appliances; watching five consecutive hours of TV; invoking the Lord’s name in vain when you stub your toe; and mentally undressing any person who would be bad for you to get naked with. Luckily for you, Leo, you’re now in an astrological phase when engaging in the above actions will not earn you a trip to the infernal regions. That’s because you’re in an unprecedented grace period when you have slack to burn. If I were you, though, I’d use my karmic credit more constructively than simply getting away with naughty things.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): The only work that will have lasting value in the coming week is work that you do in the spirit of fun. If you approach any task with nothing more than a desire to get it over with, it will ultimately be useless. If you perform a good deed merely out of a sense of duty, it won’t bestow any of its intended benefits. These directions apply to the effort you put into your relationship, hobby or art as well as to your actions on the job. Success depends on you playing hard with your spontaneity fully engaged.
GEMINI
(May 21-June 20): Twentynine-year-old Gemini actor Colin Farrell recently reached out to an older woman — a much older woman. While working on the film Ask the Dust, he made a prolonged attempt to seduce one of his fellow stars, Dame Eileen Atkins, who was 69 years old at the time. Though she was flattered, she turned him down. In the coming week, Gemini, I urge you to try a more elevated version of Farrell’s quest. Seek intimate contact with an influence that will bless you with the sexy powers of age, wisdom and experience.
CANCER
(June 21-July 22): The state of New Hampshire’s symbol used to be the Old Man of the Mountain. Carved from rock by a glacier 30,000 years ago, it was a series of granite ledges that jutted out of a mountain in the shape 1/31/05 6:46 an old man’s face. It was a top tourist attracof2x3-090104-soulstice
role that has cast you as an underdog, but you’re too strong and healthy for that now.
LIBRA
(Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “Consistency is a highly overrated virtue,” wrote William Falk in The Week. “I’m not ashamed to admit that I no longer believe half of what I was sure of 10 years ago. You make mistakes, you get new information, you change your mind along the way. It’s a natural process.” I urge you to write out the preceding statement and tape it to your mirror or phone for the next seven days. You’re in an astrological phase when you have everything to gain from changing your mind in a hundred different ways. I dare you to see what life is like when it’s not filtered through your familiar opinions and theories.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Last February, three people got lost while riding their mountain bikes in California’s San Bernardino National Forest. Luckily, they were rescued by emergency workers before any harm came to them. But the next day they returned to the woods to look for their bikes and got lost a second time. Again, help arrived in time, and they were escorted to safety. Don’t be like them in the coming days, Scorpio. You’re allowed to wander off-course and get saved once, but don’t make the same mistake twice.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Janael Lee is a SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. math teacher who suffers from muscular dystrophy and moves around with the aid of a scooter. Last January she was named Ms. Wheelchair Wisconsin, and began to work as an advocate for disabled people. A few months later, however, officials stripped her of her crown after a newspaper photo showed her standing up, which she does now and then for brief periods. “We can’t have title holders out there walking when they’re seen in public,” the officials said. I believe you will soon experience a comparable demotion, you used to be suited for a certain PM Virgo. PageMaybe 1

21): Sometimes the best gift you can give your ego is to tell it you’re not going to be its slave anymore. You say to it, “I’m tired of being whipped around by every one of your ever-shifting little needs, and I’m sick of having to kowtow to your inexhaustible demands, and I want to be free of your insatiable craving to be appreciated, recognized and adored. Go away and leave me alone. I’m just going to be who I am without worrying about you at all.” Delivering this message often has a radically healing effect. Your ego gets shocked into a state of humility, and you get

to try an exercise in creative pretending. Ready? In all the ways you can imagine, stop thinking that you’re outside, and instead visualize yourself as inside. In other words, suppress your tendency to fantasize that the good stuff is out of reach and hard to get. Picture yourself as being right in the midst of it. End your sense of exile and come all the way in to the heart of every matter. If you do this meditation 10 minutes a day for the next seven days, by this time next week the world will already be changing to match the vision you’ve been building.

AQUARIUS
(Jan. 20-Feb. 18): I live pretty simply, and often have an allergic reaction in the presence of people who have their own jet airplanes, travel with personal servants and style consultants, drink $300-a-bottle champagne, and vacation in palatial spas on private islands. Having said that, I am duty-bound to report that you now have an astrological mandate to indulge in as much extravagant pleasure as you can afford. Your watchword for the week comes from Frank Lloyd Wright: “Give me the luxuries of life and I will willingly do without the necessities.”

CAPRICORN
(Dec. 22-Jan. 19): A maintenance worker at a restaurant in Queensland, Australia, took the lazy way out when he found a dead rat while painting the floor red. Rather than disposing of it, he simply covered it with a few thick strokes of his brush. During a subsequent inspection, however, health inspectors weren’t fooled by the partial camouflage and levied large fines on the restaurant. You may soon be tempted to try something similar to what the maintenance worker did, Capricorn. I urge you not to. Don’t just try to disguise what’s stinking up the place; get rid of it.

LOLA
the love counselor Dear Lola, A little while ago new people moved in next door to my girlfriend, “Mary Beth.” It wasn’t long before we noticed their proclivity for making love with the curtains open and the lights on in their living room, which is easily visible from Mary Beth’s kitchen. And it wasn’t long after we made this discovery that we realized how much the sight turns both of us on, especially Mary Beth. Pretty soon we started scheduling our sex lives around theirs — even if it means dropping trou in the middle of, say, eating dinner, or watching “24.” Mary Beth considers this routine hilarious; she’s even turned it into a story to entertain our friends. Most of them think this is all a big hoot, too, but some have questioned our ethics, and now I’m starting to have my doubts. Are we headed for Hell? Concerned in Colchester Dear Concerned, I won’t pontificate on the mortal state of your souls. I will say that your neighbors are leaving themselves wide open for — even inviting — exactly your reactions. As long as your sex life hasn’t become entirely dependent on keeping it up with the Joneses, and Mary Beth’s blabbing isn’t violating your privacy, I don’t really see a problem. Love Lola

Monet: Ah to be driven by inspiration! Okay, so I’m not a famous painter, but I am a great cat! I am a declawed 1-year-old white, short-haired neutered male with a gray patch on my head. It’s my touch of flair! They say that I am such a gentleman. I am very sweet and affectionate. I mind my manners with other cats in the clubhouse and would be okay living with another feline in my new home. I could be the kitty social ambassador for the household (unless I’m feeling shy which I can sometimes). I would love a home with gentle people of all ages. I enjoy being picked up and held and also like to play with my toys.
