theREALESTATEDEAL putting around with... My dream vacation would be... a week or so on the Moon, preferably on the light side so I could catch some good rays. if i had $10.99 to spend, i would buy… a hot dog and a beer at a local golf club (in between nines, of course!) and leave the rest for a tip. The last book i read was… Bob Dylan: Chronicles.
david kleh My weirdest superstition or paranoia is… these pollution and war issues going on in the world. We need to tweak things a bit and get things going in a different direction. My favorite hobby is… recording music. I’ve written and recorded over 100 great songs no one will ever hear, unless they want to. (Hint, hint!)
Before i was a Realtor one of my interesting jobs was... president/general manager/chief bottle washer at Pizza Putt. if i had a private jet i would… sell it and retire.

My most prized possession is... my Madeira acoustic guitar, a Guild knock-off made in Japan in the ‘70s. Love strummin’ that baby!
One thing people are surprised to find out about me is... I was the founder and creator of Pizza Putt. I sculpted the Sphinx and Mt. Rushmore out of concrete with my bare hands and pictures from National Geographic.

SCRATCH THAT!
In Dan Bolles’ June 13 installment of “Soundbites,” he criticized Lee “Scratch” Perry for not scratching records during his jazz fest performance at Burlington’s Waterfront. Mr. Bolles lamented “. . . he didn’t scratch. The dude invented turntable scratching. His freaking name is ‘Scratch.’ Throw us a bone, dude.” I’m hoping this was from Mr. Bolles an attempt at cynicism rather than actual musical criticism, for, if the latter, Mr. Bolles has no idea what he’s talking about. Lee Perry did not invent scratching, nor has record scratching ever featured prominently in any of his production or recording work. It’s pretty common knowledge that scratching as a musical device originated amongst the hip-hop DJs of the Bronx in the late ’70s/early ’80s, and is typically credited to DJ Grand Wizard Theodore. The “Scratch” moniker was a result of Perry’s 1965 ska recording “Chicken Scratch” — the name apparently stuck. As a self-professed “former rude boy,” one would hope that Mr. Bolles would be better informed. Billy Coster
BOLLES RESPONDS: The first
recorded use of the “scratch” effect was on Charlie Ace’s 1973 “Cow Theory Skank,” produced by Perry. DJ Grand Wizard Theodore isn’t credited with “inventing” the effect until 1975 at the earliest. More info on Perry can be found at his publicist’s website: www. arielpublicity.com/lee_scratch_perry/.
GOOD FROM BAD
The wall art on North Union and North streets created as part of the anti-graffiti campaign is really very good and demonstrates the talent of the young people involved [“Up Against the Walls,” June 13] . . . The young artists did a wonderful job. Sometimes good comes out of bad; the problem of vandalism did give way to letting some light shine. Congratulations to all involved, and thank you. Dennis McMahon
competitive market.’”
But no one asked them to give us food so cheaply and in such portions that it would make for a class of wage slaves. I don’t remember asking for that. It’s a neat package of tax evasion, wage evasion, thuggery and slumlording that keeps these people from seeking the official help they need to right the wrongs against them.
I applaud Seven Days for exposing this dirty little secret of cheap Chinese food in Vermont [“Hot and Soured,” May 30]. Here, with some distance from New York City, and with so many active, conscientious people, we may be able to find a solution. Here are a few of many . . . The Chinese Staff and Workers Association has a hotline available for Chinese workers: 212-334-
2333. It’s staffed by Chinese speakers who have experience helping . . . themselves. And if they are Victims of Human Trafficking, then Title 22, Chapter 78 of the U.S. Code can give them special visas to stay in the U.S. as refugees, provided they turn states evidence against their captors and enter the Federal Witness Protection Program. more letters >> 23a

»webpage » audio slideshow tutorial In the past year, Seven Days has presented several audio slideshows on our website. Most of them supplement the stories that appear in the newspaper. Last Friday, the slideshow we produced for our story about Vermont’s decommissioned nuclear missile silos [“Bombs Away,” June 28, 2006] won first place in the 2007 Association of Alternative Newsweeklies’ “Best Web Content Feature” category, for newspapers with circulation under 60,000.
If you’ve ever wondered how we produce these multimedia features, check out the audio slideshow tutorial posted on our homepage, cleverly entitled “How I Made This Audio Slideshow.” I whipped this up in a few hours last weekend, while attending the annual AAN convention in Portland, Oregon. » best vermont bloG This is the third year we’ve included a category for Best Vermont Blog in our annual Daysies readers’ choice awards. This year we divided the category in two, to recognize political blogs and non-political blogs; there are, for example, a number of Vermont blogs about knitting. Don’t know of any Vermont blogs? Look for a list on my blog, 802 Online, which you’ll find on the Seven Days website, www.sevendaysvt.com; you can also find it by Googling “802 Online.” I link to nearly 200 Vermont blogs, written by poets, professors, political junkies, sci-fi fans, photographers, farmers, astronomers and knitters. They write about everything from the ‘08 gubernatorial campaign and the war in Iraq, to rose petal jam and sow tusks. Yes, sow tusks — thank you, Walter Jeffries of Sugar Mountain Farm. Got a blog you’d like me to add to my list? Email the link to cathy@sevendaysvt.com.

» Graffiti Poll results Last week we attached an unscientific online poll to Mike Ives’ interview with an ex-graffiti artist. We counted 116 votes.

Montpeculiar, Indeed The folks at the Capitol movie theater in Montpelier may want to change their latest marquee configuration before Chris Hansen and Dateline NBC’s “To Catch a Predator” show up. Photo courtesy of Mitch Curren.
Here’s how our readers responded to the question, “What do you think of the graffiti in and around Burlington?” 44.8% I like the artful, out of the way graffiti, but most of the tags in town are really lame.

23.3% I wish these “artists” would work with city officials and businesses to paint more murals.

13.8% I love it all — screw the system and your stupid rules!
The Burlington Free Press Dad Ghetto
9.5% It’s ruining Burlington, and I wish the cops would catch the people responsible.
Did anybody see the big cover story the Free Press ran on Sunday about stay-at-home dads? Mariana Lamaison Sears profiles two of them. She writes that the U.S. Census estimates there were about 159,000 stay-athome dads nationwide in 2006. There are no numbers for Vermont, but Sears says their numbers are increasing. I saw this story when I walked into the office this morning. I also happened to see an item in this morning’s paper touting the Freeps’ new GreenMountainMoms site, and its blog, “Moms Blog Best.” “If you’re a mom, you need to be a part of www.greenmountainmoms. com,” reads the little advertorial on the front of today’s Living section. “It’s a social networking site for local moms — a place for them to connect, share information and news. It’s informal, and the Free Press is simply facilitating the discussion by providing the forum — the content is the mothers themselves.” What do the moms talk about on the site? Says the Freeps: “Best playgrounds, preschool recommendations, where to pick strawberries, using cloth diapers, Mom’s funny secrets.” So, let’s review: the Free Press ran a big, front-page story about how more fathers are staying at home with their kids, but when it comes to their parenting website, they think only moms will be interested in preschool recommendations. Does anybody else see a disconnect here? Apparently, someone does — I was just reading the reader comments on the site and came across this one, from “tickedoffdad,” who titles his message, “This website is insulting to modern parents.” One of the site administrators responded with a message entitled, “Dad, you can join the conversation, too.” She explains that she’s created a “special spot” on the site for dads to comment. I told that to one of my co-workers, who called it “The Dad Ghetto.”
8.6% I’d like to catch these punks myself and teach them a lesson. So... looks like most of you like good graffiti, and oppose the proliferation of amateurish tags. Incidentally, anyone interested in removing those tags can volunteer for Burlington’s Graffiti Removal Team by contacting Angie Spong, at 865-7185. Thanks for voting.

NEW HAMPSHIRE — Middlebury College has again staked out a vanguard position in a broad student movement against global warming. First it launched “Step It Up,” a nationwide protest in April demanding an 80 percent cut by 2050 in the emissions causing climate change. And Middlebury now accounts for 17 of the 25 young organizers working in New Hampshire, site of the first presidential primary, to focus candidates’, journalists’ and voters’ attention on the planet’s plight. The Granite State initiative is part of the “Climate Summer” project sponsored by the Sierra Student Coalition, an arm of the Sierra Club. A year ago, the Coalition hatched the idea of taking advantage of the national media presence in New Hampshire to popularize a campaign to “transform society,” says Jared Duval, the organization’s national coordinator.
with a four-day march across southern New Hampshire en route to an August 5 rally at the state capitol in Concord. “We’re hoping to draw several thousand people to the statehouse lawn,” says Middlebury College junior Sierra Murdoch, who’s spending her summer as a full-time volunteer in New Hampshire. “This really is the issue of my generation,” Murdoch declares. “And we want to show this will be the student movement of our generation.” But will the public and the pols heed the warnings sounded during Climate Summer? “It’s not going to be automatic,” says Middlebury College economics professor Jon Isham. Many interest groups with diverse agendas will be competing for the spotlight in New Hampshire, he notes. Detractors will be making noise as well. Some can be expected to level criticisms like
This really is the issue of my generation. And we want to show this will be the student movement of our generation.

Organizers were inspired by the example of Freedom Summer, Duval adds. In 1964, hundreds of students, mainly from universities in the Northeast, traveled to Mississippi to help enfranchise black voters. Today, activists on the ground in New Hampshire are recruiting hundreds of students around the country to take part in a series of agitations, beginning with a “red-white-and-green” Fourth of July parade in Amherst, N.H. Next will be “Climb It for the Climate,” a coordinated July 14 ascent of the eight mountain peaks in the state named for U.S. presidents. Messages will be transmitted from the summits via both old media (painted banners) and new (podcasts). Climate Summer climaxes
those fired off by Garret Keizer, a Northeast Kingdom writer who ridiculed Midd-Kid eco-activists in an essay in the June edition of Harper’s magazine. Commenting on their campaign in support of wind-farm development in the Kingdom, Keizer wrote: “The intestinal tipping point came for me when a contingent of students from Middlebury College (annual tuition and fees $44,330) found both gas money and the gall to drive to the town of Sheffield (annual per capita income $13,277) in order to lecture the provincials on their responsibility to the earth and its myriad creatures.” Keizer said in an interview this week that it’s not his intention to question the validity of environmental concerns or to
denigrate Middlebury students’ efforts to address them. The key point, he clarifies, is that an awareness of economic inequity must be included in the movement against global warming if it is to be effective. To Duval, what matters most is not Middlebury students’ privileged status but how they choose to live their lives. “We should be a lot more upset with students at a place like Middlebury College who go to work for a corporate law firm or for Exxon-Mobil,” he suggests. Charges of elitism and carpetbagging were also aimed at the students taking part in Freedom Summer. But that racial justice initiative 43 years ago had a catalyzing effect on the Civil Rights movement, which eventually achieved many of its goals. Isham sees similarities between the two student mobilizations for social change, but he detects differences, too: “Back then, it was pretty clear who the wrongdoers were and who had wrongs being done to them. This time, we’re all wrongdoers. It’s wrong to completely excoriate ExxonMobil when we’re all using their gas.” Although he’s a lower-wattage global-warming celebrity than fellow Middlebury College scholar Bill McKibben, Isham is also credited with helping propel the school into its leadership role on this redhot issue. Jamie Henn, a recent Middlebury grad taking part in Climate Summer, says it was Isham’s 2005 course “Building the Climate Movement” that encouraged him and other students to dedicate themselves to the cause. Middlebury has since emerged as the center of a movement that may one day be viewed as historic. Duval says, “Middlebury has the most vibrant community in terms of the depth and breadth of involvement in this issue of any campus I’m aware of.” “People are starting to compare Middlebury College to Berkeley in the ’60s,” Henn says. “I don’t know about that. We haven’t torn the campus apart, but we did make it carbon-neutral.” �

Old North End Artists and Entrepreneurs Get Organized BY MARGOT HARRISON
BURLINGTON — Last Thursday, Burlington’s South End Arts and Business Association (SEABA) held its annual meeting at Lake Champlain Chocolates, with a speech by Mayor Bob Kiss and about 100 attendees, according to board member Bruce Seifer. The trade association of artists and entrepreneurs in Burlington’s former warehouse district has come a long way since the 1980s, when it was founded as the Pine Street Business Association. Is the Old North End ready for its own version of SEABA? Studio STK owner Sage Tucker-Ketcham and Erik Hoekstra of development company Redstone — an ONE resident — think so. A few days ago, they registered “Old North End Arts and Business Network” as a trade name with the Vermont
Studio STK on North Street. At the meeting, Hoekstra described his plans for “a loosely organized networking group that promotes art and business interests in the Old North End.” Tucker-Ketcham said ONEABN would take advantage of pre-existing events such as the Farmers’ Market and Ramble, rather than “starting anything new. A lot of people, ’cause it’s such a big area, don’t even know about a lot of this stuff. We’re educating.” Fresh from door-to-door canvassing with Hoekstra, she estimated that the ONE has more than 140 businesses, “when you count home businesses.” However, more traditional businesses in the working-class neighborhood haven’t become involved so far. Tucker-Ketcham admitted
partner with us, we were going to wait a long time.” One major topic at the meeting was the fourth annual ONE Ramble, coming up on July 28. Lee Anderson of Radio Bean, who organizes the event with Heather Driscoll, says he wanted it to stay “more grassroots” and “less corporate” than SEABA’s wildly successful South End Art Hop. To foster a sense of ONE unity, he proposed offering a historical tour of the neighborhood, preferably on bikes. Cynthia Christensen of the city’s Community and Economic Development Office showed off the prototype of a banner proclaiming the “Old North End Historic District.” The fruit of a grant that’s soon to expire, the banners should appear on North Street before the Ramble, Tucker-

Secretary of State. TuckerKetcham says the organization will be a nonprofit with a $25 annual membership fee and a first-year budget of $11,750. Any profits will be donated back to the community. As of Monday, the group has 14 committed members, says TuckerKetcham, a gallerist and painter. Besides the founders’ respective companies, they include Opportunities Credit Union, Panadero Bakery, Viva Espresso, Hands On Production, Delicata Catering, Burlington College, Draker SolarDesign, Shoeless Konstruction and more. About 20 people showed up at ONEABN’s second organizational meeting, held on June 6 at
to attendees that when she approached the owner of Waggy’s Deli, which adjoins the gallery, he “laughed at” her. The owner of Dion Security was also skeptical, she said, but “I hope they’ll come around.” Will ONEABN take SEABA as its model? “It’s going to have its own distinctive qualities,” TuckerKetcham said. Whereas the South End group has a volunteer board and a paid director, Hoekstra said he and Tucker-Ketcham were “talking about keeping ONEABN volunteer-based.” Tucker-Ketcham said the pair met with SEABA’s executive director, considering a partnership, but the other organization had too many things on its plate. “If we waited for them to

Ketcham says. In a follow-up interview, she acknowledges that the 4-year-old event hasn’t always brought crowds: “The people who attend it feel it was great, but . . . this year we’re trying to get it more attended,” Tucker-Ketcham says. ONEABN will make sure festival site maps are made available sooner than they have been in the past, she adds. But as artists and funky, youthfully helmed business ventures become fixtures in the ONE, Tucker-Ketcham hopes ONEABN will pull them all together. “It’s about getting excited about not being alone in this community,” she says, “’cause it’s so spread out.” �

. BURLINGTON — On the hot Sunday afternoon of August 4, 1929, throngs of people gathered at the corner of Main and St. Paul streets in Burlington for an auspicious event marking the end of an era. In a spectacle that must have felt like part Fourth of July parade and part public execution, people cheered as the Queen City’s last remaining trolley car was ceremonially burned. A black-and-white postcard commemorating this historic occurrence can be seen at the Fleming Museum. Burlington’s automobile age had officially arrived, in a haze of choking black smoke. It’s easy to judge an earlier generation for its inability to foresee the approach of Peak Oil or the mass-transit needs of the 21st century. Meanwhile, though, we’ve got to make our own decisions about whether to purge or revamp relics of another era. As the trolley car went in 1929, so may go one of the last vestiges of Burlington’s industrial waterfront, the Moran Plant. Before Mayor Bob Kiss even had a chance to market his “vision” for rehabbing the colossal brick edifice, a campaign to demolish it got rolling. A citizens’ group called Waterfront Watchdogs has launched a petition drive to put a measure on the March 2008 ballot. The nonbinding referendum would call for razing the old coal-fired plant and exploring other ways to use its 2.7 acres. According to one of its organizers, the referendum is already gaining considerable voter support. Just weeks ago, Kiss unveiled his plan for renovating the Moran Plant into a year-round, mixeduse public facility. He proposed creating a “North Lawn” that would be the site of a large outdoor skating rink in the winter and a children’s water play area in the summer. The Lake Champlain Community Sailing Center would remain on the property, but its boats would be stored in the building’s basement, with easy access to a dock and/or boat launch. Inside the plant, the ground floor would house the sailing center’s offices and classrooms. A large, multipurpose “atrium” on the main level would be used for public and private events. Above it, some 40 feet off the ground, a “green” roof and public observation deck would offer views of Lake Champlain and the Adirondacks. Under the mayor’s proposal, part of the building’s interior might be converted into an indoor climbing and/or ice-climbing wall. This plan also recommends building a family-style restaurant on the lakeside roof, which would help defray the cost of the building’s operations and maintenance. The mayor’s plan has already garnered support from some in Burlington’s business community, who are eager to see the long-vacant structure put to good use and turned into a year-round waterfront attraction. “We were very excited that the mayor came out with this positive proposal,” says Nancy Wood, executive director of the Burlington Business Association (BBA). “We’ve offered to be helpful in whatever way we could.” Last fall, the BBA brainstormed its own goals for the site, Wood says, which are “very much in line” with what Kiss has proposed. The BBA hasn’t taken a
stand yet on whether the building should be demolished, she says, because people want to see how the site would be used before they decide. Such caution is understandable. In 2005, voters overwhelmingly rejected a proposal by then-Mayor Peter Clavelle to lease the building to the Greater Burlington YMCA. The BBA sees potential for year-round use of the Moran site that would remain consistent with Vermont’s public trust doctrine, which governs how public land is used. Specifically, the organization recommends that the site be “waterfront oriented” with “public-support facilities” for outdoor recreation, such as bathrooms, showers, laundry facilities for boaters, a gathering space for bikers and fishers, summer and winter concession stands, and a continued presence for the community sailing center. The BBA also wants the site to be a revenue generator for the city. But such uses are actually inconsistent with the public trust doctrine, argues Loyal Ploof, a former mayoral candidate and activist with Waterfront Watchdogs, which launched the petition drive in April. Ploof says Kiss’ plan is “out of line” with what Burlington voters want. He points to a ballot survey from March 2006, in which more than half of voters expressed a desire to see the Moran Plant torn down, and a full 86 percent indicated they’d prefer to see it replaced with a waterfront park. Only one in three voters wanted to see the empty building refurbished. In Ploof’s opinion, there are still too many unanswered questions about the mayor’s proposal. Among them: What will the mayor’s plan cost? How would the city manage the additional flow of traffic to the site? What would it cost to clean it up? According to Ploof, the Waterfront Watchdogs have already collected 300 of the 1300 signatures they need by next January to get their measure on the ballot. “You should have seen my phones light up once Kiss’ development plan was announced,” he says. “I must’ve had 15 calls saying, ‘We can’t allow this to happen.’” But not everyone thinks Burlington should rush to judgment on the Moran Plant. Former architect and 05401 ’zine publisher Louis Mannie Lionni suggests that the brick structure should be preserved, even if, like the North 40, it’s left to later generations who will determine its ultimate use. This “large, powerful, muscular, rough, enduring” structure, Lionni writes in the February 2006 issue of 05401, reflects more than just Burlington’s industrial past. It contains the history of the Italian-American bricklayers who built it, and whose own homes fell victim to urban renewal a decade later. And, Lionni adds, the building contains an enormous amount of “embedded energy” that architects, designers and engineers can tap into for future use. We shouldn’t be debating its continued existence, he suggests, but discussing how to get it listed on the historic register. “The Moran Plant is a terrific building. It’s going to last 500 years if it’s maintained,” Lionni tells Seven Days. “To me, it’s like putting money in a safety deposit vault. You clean it up, you maintain it, and maybe 50 or 100 years from now, some use will be found for it.” �

AN IRREVERENT READ ON VT POLITICS
Vermont’s Energy War
V
ermont Republican Governor Jim Douglas is tripping the light fantastic this week with a Vermont Chamber of Commerce-sponsored delegation in China promoting renewable energy. But he’s also in the middle of a renewable energy war here at home. As everyone knows, Gov. Scissorhands vetoed H.520, the climate-change bill that would establish a new utility to reduce heating costs from all fuels in Vermont. Douglas calls it a Tax on Vermont Yankee. Indeed, it would raise the bite on Entergy Vermont Yankee’s reactor up to the same level as wind-power projects. Douglas says that sends the wrong message to business. Democrats say he’s nuts. Vermont Democratic Party Chairman Ian Carleton, a Burlington attorney, told “Inside Track” Gov. Douglas “is making a terrible point, and he waited until after the

legislature adjourned to do it.” This way, the Douglas plan also escapes legislative review. Nice. “His proposal is to essentially create a complex set of loan opportunities for the middle class that doesn’t have to be incorporated and deliberated into any ongoing legislative effort. It’s totally irresponsible,” charged Carleton. Mr. Carleton, a graduate of Yale Law School and the former president of the Burlington City Council, is considered by many to be a future something-or-other in Vermont Democratic Party politics beyond state chairman. We’ll see. Right now he’s 37 with a wife, a 2-year-old and a busy law practice. And, like Jim Douglas, he’s good with the soundbites. For example, Carleton had just two words to describe Gov. Douglas’ counter-proposal to H.520: “completely ridiculous.” “How is taking on more personal debt, throwing the middle class deeper into debt across Vermont, how is that consistent with the Douglas ‘Agenda of Affordability’?” asked the Democratic Party chairman. “It doesn’t make any sense.” Carleton didn’t mince words. Vermont’s Republican CEO, he told “Inside Track,” “is truly a man of appearance and not substance.” Douglas, he said, “spends so much time being visible and likable — very effectively, I’ll admit — that I genuinely believe he’s lost sight of the difference between a political victory and a policy accomplishment.” At the moment, Douglas also faces no

serious impediment to his re-election in November 2008. Interesting. Bernie Gets Religion? — Yours truly has been covering Independent U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders since his 1981 race for for current mayor of Burlington. It used to be all about “poor people, working people and the elderly.” Then he added “kids” to the mix. But nowadays our favorite socialist is the most exuberant green-energy, solar2x5-paulines060607.indd 1 powered tree hugger in the entire Green Mountain State. Last week Ol’ Bernardo teamed up with New York Democrat and presidential frontrunner Hillary Clinton to attach an amendment to the Energy Bill (on the Senate floor this week), which will pump $100 million into the states for “green-collar” jobs. “California, right now, is doing an extraordinarily good job,” said Sanders of the land of Republican Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger. “In California right now, if you were to install photovoltaic solar units, the state will provide you with a $10,000 rebate in order to do that. Their goal is to have a million rooftops with photovoltaics in the next 10 years. I think the federal government should be moving in a similar direction.” In fact, Sen. Sanders is so gung-ho on green power these days (he’s got a seat on the Senate Energy & Natural Resources Committee), it’s beginning to look like his new religion. We’re not kidding. Sanders will hold a Sunday Morning Town Meeting on Global Warming on July 8 at Montpelier High School. A free brunch starts at 10 a.m., followed by the meeting at 10:30. And acclaimed Vermont environmental writer/activist Bill McKibben of Ripton will deliver the sermon. Tackling climate change just may be the 2x5-Leunigs061307.indd 1 new religion, eh? Oh, and Sen. Sanders did say he supports the July 11 effort by Democrats in the Vermont Legislature to override Gov. Douglas’ veto of H.520, the climate-change bill. Normally, members of the state’s congressional delegation decline to take a public position on Montpeculiar voting matters. Not the new green-power Bernie.

Republicans and, needless to say, Gov. Dean, fancied Mallary over the liberal Obuchowski, but Obie won 78-70. Ah, yes, way back in the days before Ho-Ho had the “political sex-change operation� and became a screaming liberal antiwar presidential star! Dean was on for about 20 minutes before heading for the airport and a Boston flight. He was quite frank in his assessment of how things have gone with the Democrats in charge on Capitol Hill this year. Ho-Ho said the first five months of Democratic Party rule in the House and Senate were “fantastic.� Said Dean, “We did everything right!� The Democrats on Capitol Hill, he noted, delivered on “passing the stuff that we said we were going to pass.� “I think we were doing great until the Iraq vote,� said the DNC chairman, “and that really upset an awful lot of people who wanted to be out of Iraq.� Certainly Ho-Ho knows that opposition to President George “WMD� Bush’s Iraq war is very, very strong in WDEV Land. Dean said the Democrats in Washington didn’t come off looking too good, in part because of what he termed “this complex press coverage, headlines like ‘Democrats Cave in to Bush,’ which really wasn’t true.� But the problem the Dems have with the Iraq war, said Dean, is one of mathematics. “We really had trouble with Iraq because, frankly, [Senate Democratic Leader] Harry Reid only has 49 votes,� noted Chairman Ho-Ho. [Connecticut Independent Sen.] Joe Lieberman votes with the Republicans on this issue. [Oklahoma Democratic Sen.] Tim Johnson is out sick. He’ll be back in September, and we were outmaneuvered a little bit.� How unusual to witness a political party leader admit to being “outmaneuvered� by the other side, eh? “I think the next time that we try to shut down the war — perhaps in September,� said Dean, “we’ll be a little bit better prepared for the machinations of the Republican minority in the Senate.� Live and learn, eh? As for the rest of the new world that’s home to Howard Dean these days, Vermont’s former CEO through the 1990s said, “The rules inside the Beltway are different than the rules outside the Beltway. I generally do not cover for people who I think have really done bad things,� said Dean. Awfully nice of him, eh? “For example,� he continued,
“if the environmental bill comes out with taking away the states’ power to go over and above the federal laws, I’m not going to support the environmental bill, and I’m going to make it very clear that I don’t support the environmental bill!� Maybe you should run for president, Ho-Ho? In fact, the former Vermont doctor-governor said, “There is a disconnect between what the public sees in the press and what actually goes on in Washington.� Ho-Ho said he’s “very happy to defend the Democrats on the Iraq war vote. They didn’t give up trying to get us out of Iraq. They simply got outmaneuvered by a minority in the Senate and by President Bush, and next time that won’t happen,� he assured his Vermont listening audience. The current boss of America’s Democratic Party conceded, “There’s a learning curve that goes on when you’re not in the majority for 14 years, and I think you’re seeing some of that.� But it was clear to all listening that DNC Chairman Dean is feeling real good about his party’s chances of taking back the Lincoln Bedroom in November 2008. “Every single candidate on the Democratic side,� said Dr. Dean, “has said they’ll get us out of Iraq as soon as they can. “Every single Republican candidate for president thinks that the president is doing the right thing. So the message is pretty clear. If you want to get out of Iraq, you better elect a Democratic president, otherwise you’re going to end up staying in Iraq. That’s pretty straightforward, and the public gets that.� He hopes. Current polls show former First Lady and New York Sen. Hillary Clinton leading Illinois Sen. Barack Obama and former North Carolina Sen. John Edwards. But what about former Vice President Al Gore? You know, the guy who got the most votes in 2000? “An interesting wild card?� suggested Mallary. “I have not talked to Al about whether he is going to run for president or not,� answered Dean. “My guess is he won’t. I take him at his word, because he’s involved in a lot of things and, for a guy who was denied the presidency by one vote on the Supreme Court, he’s certainly had a huge effect on the world. He’s made global warming a household word around the world,� said Ho-Ho. Dean noted, for some reason, that the Oscar-winning author of An Inconvenient Truth “is making money. He’s not having to live under the microscope as you do when you’re in the public sector, so, um, I don’t know if he’s going

I don’t have any inside information, but I have no reason to doubt that he will continue to do what he’s doing.� Dean emphasized his role as DNC chairman demands he remain neutral. “I have not discussed whether somebody’s going to run for president with any of the eight candidates,� said Dean. “I do talk with them from time to time, but not about their campaigns, not about their strategy. We have to really be neutral at the DNC — unaccustomed as I am to being neutral about anything — because I am the referee and so I can’t have anybody suspecting that I’m in favor of this person or in favor of that person.� Asked if the new frontloaded primary schedule will produce a Democratic presidential nominee earlier than ever — say, February 5 — Chairman Dean said it’s impossible to predict. “Anything can happen,� he said. He’s right about that.

Media Notes — Incidentally, Dr. Dean was on “The Mark Johnson Show� with Mr. Mallary because Mr. Johnson was in Shanghai with the Vermont delegation. Timewise, they’re 12 hours ahead of us over there. Mark’s been calling in for the first half-hour of his morning show. “It’s been an eye-opening experience,� said the Vermont radio talk-show host. “It’s a completely different culture and taste.� On first impression, Johnson likened what he saw before his eyes to “the Wild West.� “It’s all new ground here,� he said, “a risky investment. There’s a huge upside, but a potentially huge downside, too.� And also in Media Land, WCAX-TV Reporter/Producer Jessica Abo has departed. Jessica was a regular on the early-morning crew.

Most trial lawyers — and anyone who’s pulled jury duty — will testify that courtroom proceedings rarely ring with the eloquence one hears on, say, TV’s “Law and Order.� But according to Montpelier attorney Paul Gillies, who directs the Vermont Judicial History Society, learned lawyers of a century or so ago often peppered their arguments to rousing dramatic effect with literary and theological refer-
Peake’s trial was a cause cĂŠlèbre. For Gillies, who has staged dozens of similar re-enactments for the Judicial History Society, the case remains a “bellwetherâ€? for several reasons. For one, Peake’s defense pleaded insanity — a first in state legal history, Gillies suspects. The trial was also “a perfect illustration of the poor science of the time,â€? he says, noting that a jury today would probably not convict Peake on the evidence

ences. Gillies will make this case in the Chelsea courthouse starting at 2 p.m. on June 22 with the staged retrial of Mrs. Rebecca Peake, a Chelsea woman convicted of murdering her stepson with poisoned hash in 1835. Following a transcript of the actual trial, attorney Gerald Tarrant will act as the defense counsel; attorney Daniel Richardson will read the prosecution’s lines; and Orange County Superior Court Judge M. Patricia Zimmerman will deliver Peake’s sentence. (She was sentenced to death but managed to take her own life before the execution could occur.)
entered. Others ate the hash and fell ill, but didn’t die from it. What he finds most striking is the trial’s fire-and-brimstone oratory, particularly the judge’s sentence. “It sounds like it’s mostly a sermon,� he says, “or maybe the words to a confessor or a penitent about how to meet your maker. It has an Old Testament quality to it.� That rhetoric reveals “how Christianized the courts were at the time, how religion and law enjoyed the same pew,� he adds. “Overall, this is a literate, fascinating story laid out there on the back of one of the saddest stories you’ll read about.� That sad story had been a
mere footnote until 1995, when playwright Maura Campbell learned of the trial while thumbing through a history of Chelsea. She tracked down a transcript of the trial published by Lucius Peck, a member of Peake’s defense team, and wrote The Trial of Mrs. Rebecca Peake, which was staged in 1997 and 2000. Peake’s ghost haunted the playwright. “I wanted people to know about her,â€? Campbell says. “I felt that I was the guardian of her story.â€? In 2006, Campbell showed the trial transcript to Gillies, and he agreed to discuss the case with audiences of Campbell’s second Peake-inspired Self Evidence, in play, February 2007 (http://www.sevendaysvt.com/features/2007/mu Self rder-she-wrote.html). Evidence cast member Mary Scripps, who turned in a chilling performance as the ghost of the condemned, will sit on the stand at the Chelsea event. For Campbell, the re-enactment brings something like closure to an all-but-forgotten tragedy. “I think there’s a lot of power in sharing her story,â€? she says. “It was meant to be that she, if not exonerated, at least have some recognition and honor with respect to the ordeal that she suffered at the hands of the legal system and her own community.â€? ďż˝
Âť in memoriam On June 13, John Engels of Williston passed away at 76, after a long and distinguished career as a poet and educator. One of his sons, Matt Engels, says his father died as a result of two heart attacks in the aftermath of a back surgery. A long-time professor at St. Michael’s College, Engels never retired; the college recently gave him an award for 45 years of service. Educated at Notre Dame and the University of Iowa, Engels published in journals such as Harper’s and The New Yorker, was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize, and earned support from Guggenheim, Fulbright and Rockefeller fellowships and the National Endowment for the Arts. In 1964, after attending a Breadloaf conference — along with Robert Frost — he decided to move to Vermont “because it was so beautiful,â€? Matt Engels says. In 2006, John Engels spoke with Seven Days about his just-published, 600-page collection of poems, entitled Recounting the Seasons. “It’s really strange to pick that thing up and hold it in my
hand and see embalmed in there my emotional history, almost 50 years,â€? the poet said. He spoke of his affection for St. Michael’s and his students, saying, “I’ll try to teach a class or two as long as I can.â€? Death was a preoccupation in Engels’ poetry. But so was life — often embodied by something as simple as the “fat sugary summer greenâ€? of a garden, as he wrote in “Eve Considers the Possibility of Resurrection.â€? He evoked beautiful things with gusto, whether they were flowers or the rainbowhued fishing flies he made as a hobby and displayed in his home. And he described creation as its own reward. “There comes a moment in the process of a poem where you’re flooded by silence,â€? Engels said. “Everything is potential. All you know is, there’s an energy there waiting to be formulated, to be given a shape.â€? A memorial service open to the public will be held at the St. Michael’s College Chapel of the Archangel on July 14 at 2 p.m. ďż˝ MARGOT HARRISON

The Riot Group Returns to Burlington BY ELISABETH CREAN
In Stratford-upon-Avon, England, the sun is setting over thatch-roofed cottages that have hardly changed since the 17th century — Adriano Shaplin begins his phone call to Seven Days with this envy-provoking image. The Royal Shakespeare Company’s International Playwrightin-Residence is taking a quick break from writing to chat about his boundary-busting theater ensemble The Riot Group. They’re returning to the Flynn Center to perform and teach for two weeks at the end of June. Last May, the Burlington native and his avant-garde troupe packed the FlynnSpace for a pair of signature Riot Group works: Pugilist Specialist, about American soldiers attempting to assassinate a Middle Eastern dictator; and Victory at the Dirt Palace, a King Lear-inspired satire of cutthroat media competition. The home turf performances were the first for Shaplin, 28, since his active community theater days as a teen. After a decade’s absence, Shaplin is now anticipating annual appearances. The success of last year’s run marks the beginning of a “continuous relationship” between the Flynn and The Riot Group. “Before we left, we sat down with [Flynn Artistic Director] Arnie Malina and he offered to help us make a new piece,” Shaplin says. The result? The Flynn is a major underwriter of Hearts of Man, the new Riot Group play that Shaplin is penning. Burlingtonians will get the premiere peek of a free work-inprogress performance on July 6 at the FlynnSpace. Participating in the Flynn’s education program was part of the bargain. Next week’s three-part workshop, “Extreme Drama with The Riot Group,” capitalizes on ideas and exercises Shaplin has been playing with as part of his gig with the RSC. Teaching at neighboring Warwick University, in Coventry, “I’ve been given free rein to develop new education models,” he notes. The playwright says he synthesizes a range of influences, and tries to “combat some of the more academic approaches to theater-making,” which stress theory at the expense of practice. “The Riot Group itself is a synthesis of what I learned working in community theater in Burlington,” Shaplin recalls. “It’s not about your own vanity, or you expressing yourself as the artist. It’s about getting up on your feet with other people and telling a story together. And there are really practical moves that you can make to do that.” The hometown connection gives him extra motivation. “It’s also just us proselytizing . . . I’m still interested in there being a vibrant theater scene in Burlington that generates new work, where people are writing plays.” The workshop functions as “a laboratory, with me operating as dictator,” he says wryly. “We’re generating text and dialogue on the spot, and developing it and revising it in 15-minute increments, drill-sergeant style. And just literally building scenes and play structures up from scratch,” he describes.
“The ‘extreme’ part of it is the boot-camp element of how much writing is going on,” Shaplin continues. “You’re not allowed to stop moving your pencil across the paper for five minutes, and then we’ll cut out everything that wasn’t any good.” He turns writing “into a physical rather than a mental act.” Participants should emerge from the sessions with a “blueprint for how they could complete a play,” he predicts. Shaplin confronts students with the same challenge he tackles: “Identifying unanswerable questions” is the starting point, he says. “With playwriting, it’s not about writing what you know, it’s about writing what you don’t
Shaplin, will be augmented by two New York actresses and Burlington’s own Dennis McSorley. (He and Shaplin made their stage debuts together when Shaplin was just 14.) Hearts of Man opens this fall in Philadelphia and tours throughout 2008, with a stop in Burlington to show off the work in its finished form. The twin responsibilities of Riot Group and Royal Shakespeare have been keeping Shaplin busy, to say the least, as he splits his time between continents and centuries. He admits to being “in the middle of a pit of fire” at the moment, trying to complete his initial RSC commission (while finishing Hearts of Man). The “big

know. You have to identify questions that you don’t have the answer to, because that’s where dialogue and conflict are going to come from.” Hearts of Man tackles a whopper: “How do you defend the undefendable charge of pederasty?” Shaplin asks. A New Jersey man, caught in an online sting, winds up pilloried in the media and the subject of warring lawyers in a courtroom drama. “It is my attempt to meld together and tell a totally contemporary tale about justice and mercy and sex and the Internet,” he says. “But tell it in an Elizabethan way, in a Shakespearean way.” For this play, the Riot Group’s quintet of actors, which includes
English history play about the birth of experimental science at the Restoration of Charles II” has 17 speaking parts. “It’s definitely the most ambitious thing I’ve ever attempted,” he explains. But you can almost hear his smile across the Atlantic. “I’m very, very happy writing in iambic pentameter on the banks of the river Avon,” he says enthusiastically. “It doesn’t really get much better.” � “Extreme Drama with The Riot Group” workshop: June 25 & 27, 79:30 p.m.; and June 30, 1-3:30 p.m. FlynnSpace, Burlington. $30 each or $75 for the series.

Curses, Foiled Again When a man demanded $5000 from a bank teller in Peterborough, Ontario, she informed him she could give him only $200 and that he’d have to pay a $5 transaction fee because he wasn’t a regular customer. He then waited while the teller filled out the paperwork and handed him $195. He left the bank, but police officers identified him from surveillance video because he hadn’t worn a disguise. When they arrived at the suspect’s apartment, they overheard him asking his neighbors to tell police he’d been home all day. Police arrested Christopher Emmorey, 23, who pleaded guilty to what his own lawyer, Dave McFadden, termed a “comedy of

The men, who had paid for passage from Libya to Europe in an open boat that foundered, clung to buoys connected to a passing Maltese tug bound for Spain. The tug’s owners ordered the vessel not to take the men on board so as not to interrupt its voyage.

Lasting Impressions Police identified the driver in a hit-and-run accident in Annapolis, Md., because the suspect left behind the vehicle’s license number on the parked car. “The car was so dirty that it left an imprint in the dirt,” Officer Hal Dalton said.
Slightest Provocations A customer who became enraged because he thought his pizza delivery took too long attacked a pizzeria manager in San Jose, Calif., with a 2-foot-long machete. Police Sgt. Nick Muyo said the pizza apparently arrived within the promised 45 minutes, but the customer berated the delivery man anyway, then went to the pizza parlor and attacked the manager, who suffered cuts while shielding his head from the machete. • A customer shot the manager of a Wendy’s restaurant in Miami because he wanted 10 packets of chili sauce with his order, but the employee at the drivethrough, citing store policy, would give him only three. After the man insisted, the employee gave him 10 packets, but police said the customer demanded even more. Store manager Renal Frage went outside to speak to the customer, who fired several shots, wounding Frage in the arm, then fled. Frage pointed out a security guard was on duty at the time but slept through the incident. • Authorities accused Steven Bryant Simpson, 47, of killing Dana Martin, 39, in a shootout in Welch, W.Va., because he was annoyed by the noise of an all-terrain vehicle that Martin repeatedly drove past Simpson’s house.

the straight dope
by CECil aDaMs
all worthwhile human knowledge
Dear Cecil, Everyone’s always talking about how great home-field advantage is in sports, but how important is it really? The mindless stats everyone repeats about how NFL teams with home-field advantage do better in the playoffs drive me crazy — the teams earned home-field advantage because they’re better already! Also, are the home-field advantages different in different sports? —Doc, via email I’m telling you, geniuses have sweated over this stuff. Get a load of the opening from “The Home Advantage,� a landmark study by Barry Schwartz of the University of Chicago and Stephen Barsky of Temple University (Social Forces, 1977): “This study relates to a perspective on group support whose origin is embodied in the work of [pioneering sociologist] Emile Durkheim. While Durkheim is best known for his stress on the inhibiting and restraining character of the moral community, he also [has a lot to say] concerning the stimulating effects of social congregation . . . For Durkheim . . . the very conditions which regulate man’s passions and conduct are those which inspire and propel him to the most extraordinary levels of achievement.� In case it went by you, “the stimulating effects of social congregation� = home-field advantage, hereinafter referred to as HFA. Durkheim knew whereof he spoke. Schwartz and Barsky say that, based on their review of hundreds of games played during 1971, the home team in major league baseball wins 53 percent of the time, in professional football 55 percent, and in college football 59 percent. HFA in baseball has since been abundantly confirmed. In The Hidden Game of Baseball (1984), John Thorn and Pete Palmer calculate that the home squad on average plays .540 ball. A study of baseball HFA from 1901 to 2002 published in the Baseball Research Journal found “the average seasonal difference between a team’s home winning percentage and its road winning percentage was .082.� (In other words, an average team’s home record is .541 and its away record is .459.) Stats geeks in other sports aren’t as obsessive as MLB’s, but what research there is suggests HFA is common all over. Perusing a comprehensive recent study (“Long-term trends in home advantage in professional team sports in North America and England [1876-2003],� Pollard and Pollard, 2005), I note as follows: (a) since 1900, notwithstanding some year-to-year swings, MLB home-field winning percentages have been remarkably stable at about .540; (b) the NFL HFA fluctuates a lot, no doubt because fewer games means more statistical noise, but
home-field wins are usually in the 55 to 60 percent range; (c) NHL home-ice wins have declined from 60 percent in the ’70s to a pretty steady 55 percent since the mid-’90s; (d) NBA home-court wins dropped from 65 percent in the mid-’80s to 60 percent in recent years, still the highest of the U.S. sports studied; and (e) HFA shows up in UK sports too. What explains HFA? Several possibilities are often cited, including familiarity with home turf, no travel stress, and what football fans call “the 12th man,� the home crowd. But establishing what’s most important isn’t easy. Take familiarity — one study of 7 baseball, 17 basketball, and 13 hockey teams that moved to new stadiums (without changing cities) between October 1987 and April 2001 showed a significant reduction in HFA in the season following the move. However, other studies purport to show that MLB teams do better in a new stadium. One clear-cut case of HFA arising from venue familiarity is the Colorado2x5-AffectionatelyCats062007.ind1 Rockies, who consistently display the largest differential between home and away records of any MLB team. All agree that’s because only the Rockies are acclimated to high-altitude Coors Field. Crowd effects are easier to demonstrate, at least in some sports. A study of more than 5000 English soccer matches found that teams scored an average of 1.5 goals at home vs. only 1.1 on the road, with the difference growing by 0.1 goals per 10,000 spectators. The researchers attribute this to cowed refs’ giving the visitors more penalties. Schwartz and Barsky thought crowd effects explained why HFA for baseball and football was lower than for hockey (in the ’70s anyway) and basketball — the latter two sports are invariably played indoors, where the noise is more intense. Travel stress is probably a minor factor, since HFA persists even among teams that are geographically close. How important is HFA? It certainly helps in the playoffs, where in major sports the team with the best record typically gets to play the majority of its games at home. During the regular season, not so much, and not just because pro teams generally play equal numbers of home and away games. Consider the Rockies. In 2003 the difference in their home/away records was an astonishing .296 — at home they played well (49-32), but on the road they sucked (2556; 74-88 overall). As baseball-stat guru Bill James has pointed out, an undefeated team has an HFA of zip.

BY JUDITH LEVINE
ON THE PUBLIC USES AND ABUSES OF EMOTION
History Happens
S
ome years ago, I clipped a newspaper item about a Vermont girl who was struck by lightning while playing baseball. Her parents sued the Little League. The coach, they alleged, had failed to take the kids off the field in a timely fashion, and thus had not averted a preventable accident. This lawsuit struck me as an example of monumental — and typically American — chutzpah. After all, if ever there was an act of God, a lightning strike was it. And yet the parents believed that their child could have been protected, and since she was not, someone had to be held accountable — preferably via a large sum of money. Although I can’t track the story down now, I recall the father saying he hoped the penalty would move the ball club to implement more prudent guidelines for declaring games rained out. Other families, said he civic-mindedly, could be saved the pain his own had suffered. September 11 should have put to rest the American delusion that bad things don’t happen to good people (“us”). What happens, instead, is history, whose ways are far more complicated than the Manichean fantasies of a geographically isolated semi-theocracy. Yet the practical
September 11 should have put to rest the American delusion that bad things don’t happen to good people (“us”). response to that delusion — bureaucratic and technological measures to prevent bad things from happening —has only intensified. Endless investigations of the vulnerabilities in skyscraper construction and airport security have resulted in new protocols and procedures: rewritten building codes, fingerprinting of foreign tourists, plastic-bagging of carry-on toiletries. Among deluded attempts at prevention you could even count Bush’s pre-emptive war on Iraq — a strategy predicated on the idea that history and politics can be avoided if only your bombs are smart enough. The prevention principle has been on display bigtime these last months. In response to the Virginia Tech shootings, voices rose to permit more involuntary commitment of mental patients. “Poli Psy” is a monthly column that can also be read on www.sevendaysvt.com. To reach Judith Levine, email levine@sevendaysvt.com.
Homeland Security is building a $49-billion, 700mile fence along the Mexican border. The feds are readying implementation of the Adam Walsh Child Protection Act, which will establish, among other things, a national searchable Internet sexoffender registry including parolees as young as 14. And two weeks ago, four men were arrested on charges of plotting to blow up New York’s JFK Airport. How effective are these measures? Not very. Short of locking people up forever, there’s no way to police psychological treatment. A sociopath whose demons are bent on destruction is likely to succeed, sooner or later. Sublegal-wage immigrant labor is a supporting truss of the U.S. economy. Barbed wire will only make crossing the border more expensive and dangerous for foreign workers. Sex-offender registries, no matter how high-tech, do nothing to protect children from those most likely to abuse them: their own families. And what about the stepped-up surveillance and arrest of “terrorists” who’ve done little more than talk? The feds declared that in apprehending the JFK plotters they had forestalled “unfathomable damage, deaths and destruction.” Yet the following day, The New York Times reported that the prosecution’s criminal filings suggested a “terror plan . . . longer on evil intent than on operational capability.” The defendants’ “satellite photos” of the airport were Google Earth downloads, their “escape routes” local roads and highways. The conspirators seemed unaware that fuel pipelines, the incendiary device at the center of their plan, don’t explode or carry ribbons of fire from end to end. Even their lawyer implied that his clients resembled “the gang that couldn’t shoot straight.” So what do these measures accomplish? They create an illusion of safety — and of the measures’ own necessity for fending off danger. Few Americans oppose these practices because they fit fortuitously with those twin national illusions: our insulation from harm, and our ability to fix things. Nothing bad happens to us, because we are good. So if something bad happens, the cause must be a temporary malfunction in the machinery, or an incompetent operator. When the Democrats condemned the Bush administration for failing to prevent 9/11, the assumption was that a less-klutzy executive could have prevented it. In the end, this argument only strengthens the hand of the security state. Remember, only one Senator (not Vermont’s) and 66 Representatives (including Vermont’s) voted against the Patriot Act of 2001. We look back on those yea votes as capitulation to extreme political pressure. I think Congress believed the Patriot Act would work.
I admit, I go for prevention too: gun laws, traffic lights, low-fat diets. I am a child of the 20th century, whose grand ideas, from communism to modernist architecture to psychotherapy, were built on the notion that we can redefine history — and redesign ourselves. I’ve only grudgingly accepted the entropic worldview of postmodernism, and I reject the now-dominant explanation of most human feeling and behavior as written in our genes. To me, that sounds suspiciously like our fates are written by God. To both of these, I prefer modernism’s fantasy, which is also America’s: We are in control. But sometimes, as the bumper sticker says, shit happens. If you’re a true American, you sue. If you’re me, all isms fly out the window and you are thrown back to the cave, watching the sky for portents. Last month, I skipped writing my column because I was rendered temporarily insane by the belief — fanned by a “highly suspicious” mammogram, an alarming doctor’s visit and two weeks of Internet research — that I had breast cancer. One in nine American women gets the disease; I personally know plenty, including three who died. All of them, like me, ate broccoli and practiced yoga and refrained from smoking. Why should I be spared? Being American, my first instinct was to blame a breakdown in the machinery — in my case, the incompetent-operator theory. I hadn’t had a mammogram in more years than I want to advertise. Ergo, the probability of illness increased. On the other hand, my friends conscientiously went for mammograms, and got sick anyway. I was forced to realize that there’s prevention . . . and there’s luck. And mine was looking bad. When I found out my breast was healthy, I could thank only kismet. Luck —the atheist’s version of God — plays a role in history, too. History (America’s Israel policy, the rise of fundamentalism, etc.) moved the Islamic jihadists to attack the World Trade Center. But the attackers enjoyed colossally good (and their victims colossally bad) luck when the buildings collapsed to dust. History took its cue: The extremeness of the U.S.’ response, both international and domestic, was proportionate to the shock of that image. This nation cannot prevent history. And we are not always lucky. History may rank second only to bolts from heaven as a force beyond our control. And, pace the Little Leaguer’s parents and the 9/11 Compensation Fund, no sum of money can cure history or rewrite bad luck as good. So should we default to apathy, or play the lottery? Neither. We have no choice but to try to influence history. When shit happens, though, Americans might learn humility. That may be the best preventive of all. m

SINGLES NIGHT SUCCESS
I wanted to say thank you to Seven Days for hosting singles night at the Bolton Valley Ski Resort on March 21. Not being a person who usually goes to singles events like this, I was convinced by my friend Jeff that it would be fun, so I went. We met a lot of nice people there that night, but ended up spending most of the evening talking to each other and having a great time. Wednesday, June 13, we will have been together for three months, and things have been going great. So thank you, Seven Days, for making this wonderful relationship possible. For those of you who question going to singles events, don’t hesitate; they are lots of fun and you might end up finding your perfect match. Heather Savage PLATTSBURGH, N.Y.
‘COVER’ COUNTS
Twice recently I’ve gone out to see shows I’ve been looking forward to — only to find out at the door that the cover charge is more than the advertised price of the show. Sure, it’s only a couple of dollars, but it’s a lousy business practice. Getting out involves, for me, arranging and paying for child care, my time and travel, and most likely I’ll be purchasing food and beverages at the venue — I shell out way more than the cover charge for an evening out, and I plan that into my budget. So why make a stink about a couple of dollars? Because it seems to be a trend, but it’s unprofessional and underhanded. So listen up: If a show is advertised at $10, that’s what you should be charging at the door! For the record, had a higher price been advertised I would have gone anyway, expecting to pay the higher price, and not resented it. Yeah, it’s the principle of the thing. Cecile Johnston CABOT
BABYSITTING, WITH BENEFITS
Thank you for exposing Lisa Rubin and her culinary tidbits [“Sound Bites,” May 16]. For those who have not had the chance to visit the Farm House Café in East Calais, you may
want to call and schedule a friend and family lunch or dinner. Lisa will cook you up a meal that will send your taste buds into seventh heaven. I am lucky enough to be her neighbor and, like a good Vermont neighbor, Lisa can always count on me to come and “babysit” the café when she needs to run an emergency errand. And I am always accepting of her gracious offer to feed me while I babysit. Herb-crusted pork chops with roasted veggies and a savory rice pilaf are among one of my favorites. Lisa has a talent for choosing just the right wine to accompany any meal, and her warm personality makes you feel welcome and cared about. Dinner at the Café with Lisa is not just supper out. It is an evening of great food, good wine and witty conversation. Bring your friends, plan a meal, have a wonderful evening, Vermont-style. Diane Dexter EAST CALAIS
THE FINAL F-WORD
Thanks very much for printing Peter Freyne’s “Fuck the FCC” item [“Inside Track,” June 6]. The FCC is simply catering to widespread public opposition to four-letter words, an inheritance of puritan ancestors and holierthan-thou religiosity, now manipulated for political gain. The Second Circuit, on the other hand, was apparently guided by the free speech guarantee in the First Amendment, and perhaps the separation of church and state principle. The damage caused by this nationwide four-letter-word phobia is much greater than might at first appear. For one thing, it inhibits and suppresses legitimate emotions like justified anger, frustration with injustice, sarcasm and, above all, abuse of authority, much of which derives from indoctrinated respect for those who deserve the opposite. Wouldn’t it be useful if the mega media would allow four-letter-word users equal time to say, for example: “That warmongering fucking son of a Bush and his goddam Iraq war just for some of the oil profit for the mother-fucking big oil companies.” And, of course, the hatred suppressed by this hypocritical phobia does lasting damage to victims. For example, when Cheney told Leahy, “Fuck you,” the next thing he said was, “already I feel better.” If Leahy did nothing wrong, water off the duck’s back. If Leahy did, he earned the epithet. In a broadcast interview with editors of the Oxford Dictionary of the English Language, they were asked why they listed all of those embargoed four-letter words, together with definitions and citations of earliest use in print. Answer: because they
are a legitimate part of English usage, and they are editors, not censors . . . I have proposed a “Truth in Broadcasting,” a proposed FCC rule that would prohibit lying and penalize liars and their broadcasters. The reason is that broadcast licenses are granted in the public interest and convenience, not for liars to defeat democracy and victimize voters. The principle should be “once a liar is always a liar.” After the weapons of mass destruction hoax, Bush should have been taken off the air for life. Stations broadcasting liars should have their license revoked for one year for the first offense, and forever after a repeat offense. Whether an utterance is a lie or not is decided by petit juries every day, everywhere. Peter D. Moss

lons of gasoline per day. Almost everything about our lifestyle incorporates the automobile, from housing developments to drive-thru burger joints. But Americans are starting to realize their vehicular days are numbered. Reports suggest we’ve already reached “peak oil.” The last few weeks have brought another flurry of record-high gas prices. And transportation emissions continue to contribute to global warming. Vermont is ahead of the peak-oil curve, but only sort of. In 2000, the state had more than 14,000 miles of roads, and about half a million registered cars and trucks. Legislators spend roughly twice as much on new highway construction as they do on public transportation. There are still about 600 gas stations statewide, and the average Vermonter works 20 miles from home. So what’s with the car obsession? Must be a love-hate thing. What’s it like to live and drive during the last gasp of the gas-guzzler era? Through the Fourth of July, Seven Days is spotlighting car subcultures. Because chances are, they’ll be up in smoke before you can say, “Road trip!”

Translation? With these impressive credentials in her tool belt, Mattinat offers a fresh, female-centric perspective on one of the most male-dominated industries in the world. On a recent Friday afternoon, Mattinat greets a reporter in the Auto Craftsmen waiting area. Settling in here to kill time, wheel-less pilgrims might reasonably think they’ve died and gone to customer-service heaven. Many comparable spaces feature half-decomposed couches, weak instant coffee and an insufferable parade of scratchy Meatloaf albums. But this room, with its classical music, spider plants and toddler toys, seems more like a pediatric office. Mattinat, who is also Auto Craftsmen’s office manager, is slender and petite, and has a squarish face and short brown hair. Today she’s dressed in business casual: dangly earrings, polka-dotted, short-sleeved shirt, and jeans. After a glimpse of the front room, it’s no surprise that her back office exudes serious Nurture Instinct. Mattinat’s screensaver streams the phrase “Visualize your goal . . . allow yourself to receive!â€? A pink tote bag hangs in a corner. And behind her hangs a poster about . . . uh, cooking demos. Turns out the image isn’t just filler dĂŠcor but a window into Mattinat’s past. Back in

AMY MATTINAT
the early ’80s, after earning a degree in hotel and restaurant management, she worked as a crunchy caterer, helping people plan “healing diets� — an occupation as far removed from Honda Civics as shoeing horses. Still, suggests Mattinat, the foodie biz taught her the invaluable skill of turning “techy talk� into everyday language. Twelve years ago, this licensed caterer dropped her parsley garnish for the metaphorical wrench. The decision wasn’t totally random, though: Mattinat had always loved cars — or rather, anything with a motor, including bulldozers and tractors. Luckily, her knack for layman’s ed proved invaluable when assisting a certain kind of client: the vehicular know-nothing. Soon after she started bookkeeping and customer-servicing at Auto Craftsmen, Mattinat began to notice curious patterns emerging from the daily herd of needy, oftdisgruntled used-car owners. Chief among her observations: Customers were placing too much faith in slapdash used-car appraisals. According to Mattinat, the only way to properly evaluate any car — whether beater or Beemer — is by thorough inspection. “Yes, you can find a reliable $4000 car,� she notes, “and, yes, you can find a $12,000 car that’s unreliable.� Her customers appreciate this type of counsel. In the Auto Craftsmen waiting room, a plastic binder overflows with rave reviews. One of them, written by Montpelier resident and VPIRG staffer Andrea Stander, reads, “You’re expensive, but like fine wine or well-made furniture.�

When reached by phone, Stander, 55, elaborates that Mattinat’s prices are a fair trade for her unmatched customer service. Though “knowledgeable to a point” about cars herself, Stander notes that she’s been rooked by mechanics in the past — all the more reason to approve Mattinat’s candor. Auto Craftsmen employees are “very straightforward about telling you what you need,” she attests. “And they don’t give you a lot of mumbo-jumbo.” Stander confirms that Mattinat’s shop isn’t just consumer-oriented; it may be the most female-friendly in the area. “I think Amy’s done amazing things for raising the conscience, and the confidence level, of a lot of women,” she suggests. Mattinat says the automotive industry is ripe for a genderized tune-up. Today’s “old-boy network” of car buffs has more to do with ingrained employment patterns than anything else, she opines. “Ten years ago, nobody told a girl that [working in the car industry] was an opportunity for her,” Mattinat notes. “But they’re telling them now.” She’s aware of about 50 women nationally who run their own shops and 200 who work in prominent management positions. She also knows a couple of female mechanics in Vermont. “Our voices are getting stronger, and they can’t ignore us,” Mattinat contends. “We’re gonna hold guys accountable, and we’re gonna make this industry better.” Perhaps no young person better personifies Mattinat’s prediction than Demeny Tollit. The 28-year-old graduated last year from Vermont Technical College with a degree in automotive technology — she chose a career in car maintenance over one in psychology. Like Mattinat, she’d never had much previous experience with automobiles. “I was a social worker for years, having no money,” Tollit explains. “The only thing I thought that could keep my attention for more than six months was working on cars.” In July, Tollit will start a new job as a service writer at Berlin City in Williston. But her vision stretches farther down the road: She wants to own an all-women’s shop that would incorporate a holistic, Mattinat-esque approach to car ownership. “I’m really interested in creating a welcoming environment that people trust,” Tollit notes. “It’s exciting to think of having a place that would be a different kind of shop, sort of like what Amy does.”

SEARCH ME How far can someone follow cyber footprints? Ken Picard finds himself online
BY KEN PICARD nce upon a time, “Go Google yourself!” were fightin’ words akin to what Dick Cheney said to Pat Leahy on the floor of the U.S. Senate last year. Recently, however, one local computer expert suggested that Googling yourself is a useful exercise. By 2010, the amount of information swirling around in cyberspace is expected to double every 11 hours, according to an estimate by IBM’s Global Technical Services. No one knows for sure what all that “data” will be worth, or to whom. So, I decided to see where my name was popping up online, and why. I’m not paranoid, just realistic. A vapor trail of digital information follows each of us wherever we go, both online and off. Our laptops, cellphones and PDAs are like mini-stenographers, recording our every keystroke — even those we mistakenly assume have vanished into oblivion. Computer databases track and profile our credit-card purchases, medical records, ATM transactions, emails, instant messages and Web traffic. Even our driving habits are logged if we use onboard navigation devices or automated toll-collection systems such as EZ Pass. And until Americans elect leaders who are truly committed to open government, we’re left to speculate about the level of official data mining and state-sanctioned voyeurism we’re being subjected to without our consent.

My first concern isn’t whether a gang of cyber-snoops will figure out if I’ve ever donated sperm or jumped out of an airplane. It’s whether they can nail down my Social Security number.
ALTER EGOED A writer discovers his doppelgangers
BY MIKE IVES
I
ILLUSTRATION: STEFAN BUMBECK
Last year, a Brooklyn, New York-based performance troupe parodied this phenomenon in a multimedia piece called Super Vision. In one vignette, an international business traveler endures an endless barrage of interrogations by immigration officials as he moves from one airport to the next. At each terminus, the probes become increasingly invasive and absurd, until his interrogators know more about the traveler’s health than he does. A great irony of the so-called Information Age is how little of our own personal information is freely accessible to us. I Googled myself not to stroke my ego but to see how far I — or someone else — could follow my digital footprints and reconstruct my identity. To keep it realistic, I only used information that the average Seven Days reader could figure out with a few keystrokes and mouse clicks — that is, my approximate age and place of residence. Initially, I stuck to free searches and didn’t use my date of birth or Social Security number unless I found them online. I quickly discovered my tracks scattered willy-nilly all over cyberspace, like paw prints in a muddy dog park. Unlike the dog park, however, cyberspace has no discernible boundaries. I’ve been a journalist for nearly 10 years, so my online presence is probably more conspicuous and widespread than that of many Web users. As a result, someone rummaging through my archived past could assemble a useful dossier on me — current and past employers, recreational interests, pets’ names, my
didn’t just find myself out of the blue. Blame it on technology: On May 13, a strange subject heading — “Same Mike Ives?” — popped up in my email inbox. A journalism student from Virginia was wondering if I was the Mike Ives — not me, actually, but rather a legendary writer/pool shark who had a column in the Roanoke Times back in the 1970s. “Sorry to disappoint,” I wrote back. “I’m not him.” I dismissed the inquiry as a fluke. Everyone has a doppelganger, whether it’s a look-alike or someone who shares your name. Filmmaker Angela Shelton made much of these coincidences when she contacted 40 other like-named women across the U.S., then chronicled the process on film. As for me, strangers have always asked if I’m related to Charles or, worse, Burl. (I’m not.) Then there was a guy in college who sported a similar hairdo. Most recently, my roommate has dubbed me “Mike Apartment” to differentiate me from another, apparently more important, Mike. This latest misunderstanding wasn’t so easy to dismiss, though. Two weeks later another message appeared, this time from a retired Navy man. “You were my favorite columnist!” wrote my second admirer. “I’d been wondering about what had ever happened to Mike Ives the writer/pool shark for, like, the past 30 years . . . the writing style makes me think I may have answered the burning question of where your adventures may have led you! Jah Rastafari!” Then he added, “If you ever find yourself in need of a quick sailing fix in the Caribbean, please feel free to contact us.” Pool shark? Sailing fix? I thought. Sounds like my alter ego has it pretty good. So, a month after the first message, I decided to track down this other Mike Ives on my own. Where do you begin a search for a mistaken identity? Google — duh. I arrived at the office around 10 a.m. and opened a browser window. By lunchtime, I’d turned up more than 20 Mike Iveses — including the shark himself, who lives in Bradenton, Florida. Neither the Internet nor the current circulation manager at the Roanoke Times had any of Ives’ stories on file. But I did manage to get his number from 411. I picked up the phone, then hesitated: To cold-call Mike Ives just like that seemed a bit presumptuous. Instead of contacting him right off, I decided to make a few prefatory inquiries into myself. First on the doppelganger list was Hannes Jaenicke, a rather handsome German actor who’d played a character named Michael Ives in an under-reviewed 1999

old summer camp, places I’ve been on vacation. However, my first concern isn’t whether a gang of cyber-snoops will figure out if I’ve ever donated sperm or jumped out of an airplane. It’s whether they can nail down my Social Security number. As I soon discovered, that information is not so hard to locate. I’m no expert at online manhunting, so I began my esleuthing the way most people would — using free databases and common search engines. Google turned up 526 hits for “Ken Picard,� although searches for my full legal name led nowhere. Most of the first 30 hits actually were me — invariably, articles I’ve written for Seven Days or other publications, or sites that have re-posted those stories. In the process, I discovered dozens of Ken Picards who aren’t me — though none in Vermont. On a database called Zabasearch. com, I tracked down 75 Kenneth Picards ranging in age from 20 to 74. They include a justice of the peace in Vermilion Parish,
online mischief-makers. But I searched a few of those sites just for the hell of it. Mostly, what turned up was a nauseating assortment of Star Trek references, including a creepy animated video of Captain JeanLuc Picard dancing in the buff to electronica music. I had better luck with reunion websites, where it didn’t take long to figure out where I’d gone to high school and college. A mere half-hour of Web prowling turned up a recent photo of me, a list of previous employers and a profile I posted years ago. For some obsessive reason, I felt compelled to update it. Soon, however, the trail grew cold as I repeatedly slammed headfirst into fee walls. There are dozens, if not hundreds, of background check or “skip trace� websites promising reams of personal info on Ken Picard — unlisted phone numbers, email addresses, property liens, criminal convictions, marriage and divorce records, sex-offender registries, even psychological profiles. But invariably, a win-
ber verification. This function told me that my SSN was indeed valid and had been issued in New York, but offered no other clues. Another link, which claimed to access my FBI file, turned out to be a standard PDF of a “certification of identity� form that must be mailed to the U.S. Department of Justice. I could have obtained this blank document free of charge from the government. Disgusted, I requested an immediate refund. Net Detective emailed me a form that, oddly, I had to fax or snail mail back to the company. In the meantime, the fraud-prevention unit at my credit-card company called me to verify that I’d made that online purchase. In the days that followed, I began receiving loads of new junk email under my legal name, something that had never happened before. There’s a bitter irony in knowing that my efforts at online self-discovery only created more digital footprints that are visible to others but not to me. Another reasonably priced skip trace site, peoplelookup.
While the easily accessible free and paid services hadn’t delivered the goods, a bit of extra Internet know-how did.

Louisiana; the director of a community-living center in Thunder Bay, Ontario; a recently elected selectman in Upton, Massachusetts; an amateur wrestler in Maine; and the CEO of an oil drilling and exploration firm in Australia. I found a Ken Picard who plays the bass in a blues band called Mr. BlueSteel. Another is a massage therapist and avid ice climber in Calgary. Like me, he’s no fan of George W. Bush; unlike me, he hates the Grateful Dead. But aside from a general fondness for outdoor activities and an eerie predilection for goatees, the individuals I stumbled on had little in common with me except their names. In short, if someone wanted to target me, they’d have no trouble picking me out of the Ken Picard crowd. They’d also discover where I’ve been. Within five minutes of free searching, I found 12 previous addresses in six of the eight states where I’ve lived, including an apartment I rented for just three months in Boise, Idaho, during a college internship in 1985. Within 10 minutes, I found the correct month and year of my birth, the names of all my immediate family members and one grandparent, their ages and the places they’ve lived. As I’m over 40, I’ve never posted a profile on a social networking site such as MySpace, Facebook or Friendster — treasure troves of personal data for
dow popped up asking for a credit-card number. Unsure which of these sites would work best, I did what most people would do — I picked one at random that appeared legit and affordable. Net Detective claims to search 211 million public records on more than 90 percent of all U.S. residents. It offers birth and death records, adoption information, Department of Motor Vehicles data — even Social Security numbers. The home page has a seal of approval that proclaims it a “Consumers Guide Top Pick for 2006.� I took the bait. Eager to see what skeletons were lurking in my digital closets, I ponied up the requisite $29, typed in my full legal name and address, and hit enter. Within seconds, the words “No results found� appeared in big red letters. Disappointed and confused, I widened my search and got a single hit, for a “Ken O. Picard� in Vermont — with the wrong age, middle initial and date of birth. A reverse search of my home telephone number, which is listed in the phone book, came back under someone else’s name and address. Frustrated, I searched four other states where I knew this Ken Picard had lived. But except for one old phone number in Clinton, Montana, the trail was a dead end. Curious, I tried out Net Detective’s Social Security num-
com, provided more detailed info, including my full legal name, date of birth and 11 previous addresses, only one of which was incorrect. It also listed the assessed property value of my mother’s house on Long Island and the taxes she pays on it annually, the names of my current neighbors, and their addresses and phone numbers. This site ran a criminal background check and found no convictions or judgments against me, in Vermont or nationwide. About the only glaring errors I spotted were the listing of my father’s middle name as “Nassau� — that’s the county he lived in — and a “listed alias� for me as “Jennifer M. Blommel.� Sorry to disappoint, but that’s not my drag-show stage name. Still hoping to probe deeper, I turned to the professionals for help. Ben Knieff is an identity theft prevention expert at Outside Look Research and Consulting in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Knieff, with whom I communicated via email, pointed me to Vermont’s one-stop link for searching the secretary of state’s website for such information as professional licenses, commercial debtors and registered business names. Since I’m neither a licensed professional nor a business owner, my name didn’t show up in the database. That said, I did come across other people’s property docu>> 32A

ments, including their Social Security numbers, despite a Vermont law requiring that such data be redacted. Knieff suggested that if I owned property in Burlington, my name would appear in the city’s online grand list. Also, for a fee of $12.50, I could search a Vermont-run website that lists case summaries and real-time docket chronologies of legal proceedings, though full details of district court and family court proceedings aren’t available. Then there’s always Vermont’s online sex-offender registry — where, thankfully, none of the lewd and lascivious have a name matching my own. Since I don’t know Knieff personally and didn’t verify his identity, I decided to approach an old out-of-state acquaintance who has more cyber

a lot of sensitive data can be accessed from our hard drives, especially if they’re lost or stolen. Equally troubling, Kessler adds, are the social networks such as MySpace and Facebook, which he calls “an entirely new rat’s nest, particularly when it comes to social engineering.� Many people, especially children and teens, post sensitive, detailed and highly personal information about themselves that can be exploited by identity thieves and other predators. A survey earlier this year by the Girl Scout Council of Vermont and the Vermont Commission on Women found that 44 percent of all female 12thgraders in Vermont had been approached by an online stranger. “If a cop had nothing else to do one day and decided to go
If someone stopped you in the middle of the street and said, “Give me your credit-card number,� you probably wouldn’t. So why do it on the Internet?

for it that we often fail to recognize social engineering. For instance, say someone calls you at home claiming to work at your bank; he tells you the bank is updating its computer systems and has the first three or four digits of your Social Security number, but the rest are smudged. Since almost everyone born in Vermont has a Social Security number beginning with 008 or 009, the caller could be an identity thief who simply found an ATM receipt with your name on it. Many people will automatically divulge the rest of their numbers without verifying the person’s identity. “If someone stopped you in the middle of the street and said, ‘Give me your credit-card number,’ you probably wouldn’t,� Kessler says. “So why do it on the Internet, and why do it over the phone?�
experience (and fewer scruples) than I do, to see if he could dig up my Social Security number where I could not. He’s a former insurance industry employee who got into some hot water for using a company computer to track down attractive women he’d spotted on the road. It took him several days to get back to me, but eventually he found my Social Security number. I was shaken but hardly surprised. While the easily accessible free and paid services hadn’t delivered the goods, a bit of extra Internet know-how did. With my birth date and federal digits in hand, someone pretending to be me could have a world of information at their disposal. But even without a hacker’s help, there’s plenty of useful data out there for “social engineering� — that is, talking people into doing things that usually aren’t in their best interest. Hackers have traditionally used such old-fashioned grifting skills to supplement their technological savvy. Dr. Gary Kessler is an associate professor of computer and digital forensics and director of Champlain College’s Center for Digital Information in Burlington. He believes we’ve all become so conditioned to give out personal data when asked
Kessler isn’t surprised that someone could find my SSN online in relatively short order. But he emphasizes that it takes a fair amount of time and work to steal identities one person at a time. “The truth is, while I take all this stuff seriously, most of us as individuals are not targets that people are attacking,� he says. “Even a bad phishing site will gather hundreds, if not thousands, of people’s information.� Phishing is a form of social engineering in which an email or instant message imitates a legitimate business or institution and asks for sensitive information such as computer passwords or credit-card numbers. While plenty of people fall victim to these schemes, there’s a certain comfort in knowing one isn’t being singled out. When I began my exercise in cyber self-discovery, I had a mental image of an enormous HAL-9000 computer somewhere vacuuming up reams of personal data about my online book purchases, recent medical procedures and Internet search habits. But, as Kessler explains, much of the data that leaves us vulnerable is stored right on our own laptops, cellphones and PDAs. If we write checks online or use software such as Quicken or Microsoft Money,
after a child sexual exploiter, within 15 minutes he or she could have a target,â€? Kessler says. “Sadly, it’s like shooting fish in a barrel.â€? According to the Federal Trade Commission, identity thieves hit about 10 million of us in any given year, with losses to businesses totaling about $50 billion. Victims of identity theft have spent about $5 billion trying to undo that harm. While I had hoped to learn more about myself online, I came away from this little exercise uncertain which is worse — being able to follow my every digital footstep, or being unable to get a big-picture view of the landscape I’ve traveled. In the meantime, I’m left wondering if my search did more harm than good. Sure, I pulled up my free credit report, which looks squeaky-clean. But what new lists did I get myself on? What sensitive info is now permanently etched in my hard drive? I’m going to take the advice of experts like Kessler and shred my credit-card receipts and financial documents before I toss them — maybe even join the tiny percentage of Web users who run antispyware and anti-virus programs on a regular basis. Or perhaps I’ll just run my laptop through the dishwasher. ďż˝

was Michael Ives, the painter. Arizona Ives was ’laxing in Hawaii. And where my first dop2x5-vtfurnitured062007.indd 1 6/13/07 4:37:40 PM pelganger had been a bit of a
“Hello, Mike,� I began. “Could you tell me what it’s like to be me?� a tenuous, literary way. But the email was returned, and Ives’ answering-machine message had been changed. “Good afternoon,� I greeted the Bard receptionist. “I’m trying to reach Michael Ives, but he appears to have disappeared.� “Who is this?� she said. “It’s him, actually,� I revealed. “Me.� She said she’d see what she could do. Later that afternoon, I reached the owner of Mike J. Ives Realty, in Grand Rapids, Minnesota. The guy who answered sounded a little self-important. “Hello, Mike,� I began. “Could you tell me what it’s like to be me?� “What’s it like to be you, Mike? What’s it like to be me?� he bristled. Minnesota Mike wasn’t all that shocked to learn of my existence.
This is all strangely underwhelming, I thought, heading home after work. Surely there was more to me than an obscure filmography or a fleeting professorship, let alone a Midwestern real-estate office. I had made one other call, to a painter from Arizona who’d founded www.ivesart.com — but I’ve never been artistic. Outside my apartment, my roommate was lounging on the deck. “Hey, Mike Apartment,� she said, “I’m thinking of going out for a slice of pizza.� “I would join you,� I said, “but I’m waiting for a call from a doppelganger.� “Oh, are you writing a story about all that? I can’t wait to read it.� I went inside thinking, I can’t wait to read it, either. I wondered what angle the author would take.
downer, this one struck like a ray of existential light. Over the course of an hour, Ives — a selfdescribed “child of the ’60s� — served up an epic life story that included generous helpings of drugs, creative epiphanies and wistful reminiscence. “It’s kind of surreal to see all the people with your name, isn’t it?� he said at one point, adding that he regularly Googles himself. “Totally,� I said. “Have you met any other Michael Iveses, Michael? Oh, yes: Arizona Ives had an even worse case of Identity Curiosity than I did. He admitted to having previously contacted about a dozen other doppelgangers, to no avail. Once, at a tailor’s shop in Tucson, Ives came within millimeters of himself: He accidentally tried on a jacket that, according to the tailor, >> 34A 2x6-UVMHealing062007#1.indd 1

belonged to a like-named stranger. But Ives never managed to connect with the guy in person. “Wait a sec,� I stopped him. “So this is the first time you’ve ever spoken to ‘yourself ’?� “Yeah,� he reflected. “You know, I often wonder how many ways I might have gone in my life, given certain circumstances. Maybe it’s cool for you to see how other Michael Iveses have done it?� Sure was. And if I could forge such an intense bond with Arizona Ives, I couldn’t even imagine how I’d get along with the celebrated journalist for whom I’d already been mistaken — twice. On Thursday evening, I picked up my office phone and dialed up the shark. This is it, I thought.
I’m not gonna say it’s not fate.� I didn’t know how to respond. “You got any good pool rooms up there in Vermont?� he asked. “I’m sure there must be one, Mike,� I offered, mesmerized. “Listen, have you come across any other Mike Iveses out there?� Mike explained that he’d once met an image of himself in Phoenix. “We ate lunch and bullshitted for three hours and that was the end of it,� he recalled. What was that guy’s shirt size? I wanted to ask. But instead I wondered if the journalist had any wisdom to relay. Well, said the sailor, he had done some research into our family heritage. He’d found out, for instance, that his great-greatgrandfather, patriarch Jeremiah
explained that, ever since he’d stolen his clips from the Roanoke Times archive in the late 1970s, they’d been in the care of a friend. That friend was now long gone. “I don’t have any copies,� lamented the shark. “I have nothing, and it makes me sick. I was nominated for a Pulitzer in the ’80s, too.� On Friday, I called the Roanoke Times again to ask if their archive had even the tiniest clipping from Ives’ career. A few hours later, a reporter dug up the only surviving file — a grainy photocopy of one of his columns, from December 1978 — and faxed it to Seven Days. The piece is called “The Meanest Woman in Town.� It immortalizes the saucy proprietress of a hole-in-the-wall Roanoke lunch counter. “As one approaches
“Hello?� “Yes . . .� I sputtered breathlessly. “It’s . . . you.� But Ives quickly put me in my place. “No, it’s not,� he corrected in a dry, sun-soaked voice. “It’s you.� My doppelganger and I talked for about half an hour. I learned that he’d been fired from the Roanoke Times in the late ’70s for, as he put it, “living with a woman who wasn’t my wife, et cetera.� Then he’d landed a job at the Arizona Republic and, later, another at the Phoenix New Times — a pioneer alt-weekly. Sometime in the ’80s, he quit journalism to travel the “lower 48� as, sure enough, a pool shark. Now he considered himself a retired “sailing derelict.� Sailor Mike asserted that while he believed in fate, he didn’t necessarily see anything cosmic in our connection. “I think that probably happens,� he noted offhandedly. “I don’t know. You get a little more cynical and jaded as you get older. My name is a little more out there than other names . . . but who can say? You don’t know.
Ives, was murdered in St. Augustine, Florida, in 1827. That’s about 300 miles from Boca Raton, where my grandfather, Jack, lived for many years before his death in 2001. Still, Ives warned me, “I think people put a little too much emphasis on genealogy.� I said I agreed, then confessed that Ives wasn’t my family’s original name: Jack’s had been Itzkowitz. In my rapture, I’d forgotten to mention that my father — Jack’s son — had changed it to Ives in 1975 in order to avoid a Jewish stigma. “No shit?� inquired the former hustler. After that, our conversation tapered off, but not in a bad way: There just wasn’t anything left to share. Mike Ives and I wished each other well and promised to stay in touch. But I think we both knew we wouldn’t. “What about your writings, Mike?� I asked in closing. “Got any you could send along?� Ives heaved a sigh and
this tiny enclave of Catholic folk,â€? Ives writes, “one is hit in the chops with the cruel odor of sizzling meat, wafted to the great outdoors by the exhaust fan above the open gas grill where Josephine reigns supreme with her spatula.â€? Not bad, I thought, though maybe a little overwritten. I read on, anxious for some final, cathartic flourish. But the fax machine had corrupted Ives’ last paragraph, so for me the story ended there. Or so I thought. On Saturday, yet another Mike Ives fan contacted me. This one was Garrett Mathews, a fellow newspaperman who writes a folksy local-interest column for the Evansville, Indiana Courier & Press. He wrote, “Am at the stage in my career (I started out in 1972) when I want to reach out to the people who had an influence in what I do. You’re in that number. Thanks.â€? “Thanks for the feedback, Garrett,â€? I wrote back on Monday morning. “I’ll pass the message along.â€? ďż˝

rue goodness is the agency of life in longing for itself, and its other name is love.� So says young Beatrice in Twist in the Rising, a play by Vermonter Sarah Dawson 1:39:21 PM Brock that is currently running at STORY Harwood Union High School. Beatrice’s ERIK words — innocent, hopeful, pious — ESCKILSEN conjure a familiar image of the cloistered castle maiden circa the Crusades. As the IMAGE drama unfolds, however, her speech casts a STEPHAN different sort of light on her situation, as HARD she and the three women around her must combine their “agencies� to survive.

Spinsters. A FlynnSpace award for works in progress followed in 2004, and last year, Twist in the Rising won the Vermont Contemporary Playwrights Award. It’s a credit to Brock that the cumulative effect of all this attention and, presumably, revision is a tightly plotted play that pulls up short of overwrought. Period dramas — of decades, centuries or millennia ago — are especially prone to infiltration by archaic language. Brock avoids this pitfall. The action here is buoyed along by fluid dialogue that’s crafted to hit mannered notes and create the illusion of the time frame without sounding too stilted. Play and player meet an equally high standard in Patty Orgain Wood’s portrayal of the crone Emma. Toiling away at her spinning wheel, she alternately expresses sorrow over the recent death of the castle lord and anxiety about where her peers’ scheme — to pass the foundling off as Helen’s — could lead. Emma can be a little slow on the uptake, but her halting thoughts and pensive pauses mesh with a direct, plainspoken delivery; she establishes the language characters in Twist employ. Emma occupies a subservient role in the household, and her age diminishes

heir. In the play’s tense early scenes, that hope is dashed when the lord’s widow, Helen (Mia Adams), delivers a stillborn child. An ominous gloom pervades the “solar,� the single room where the play unfolds — Peter Holm’s set design makes it resemble a simple cabin with a fireplace. Exacerbating the women’s woes is the well-founded apprehension that the lord’s brother, the lecherous and cruel Baldwin, will soon arrive to claim his inheritance. No sooner has this prospect been broached than Beatrice (Becca Chodorkoff ) finds an infant nestled in a tree. She views the discovery as heavensent, a miracle, and brings the wee one home. Her housemates have a more secular view, but they nonetheless see the foundling as a possible answer to their prayers and a way to evade Baldwin’s tyranny. That is, so long as no one outside their small circle learns the child is not Helen’s. Brock’s script — her debut as a playwright — has been in the works for roughly five years. She received a Vermont Studio Center Fellowship grant in 2002 to develop the play, which was initially titled
rather than elevates her status, particularly when she tries to resist the plan favored by headstrong Judith, played by Monica Callan (who is also the show’s producer). Despite the power imbalances inherent in the castle hierarchy, every character has some say in what to do with the foundling, and their differences along these lines define their relations to one another. The characters’ clashing motivations give rise to generally strong performances — a credit both to the actors and to director Teresa Langston. Callan’s Judith is both the brains and brawn of this outfit, a responsibility she bears with convincing bitterness as she thunders about in the late lord’s boots. Her fury is effective for much of the play, but in later scenes it begins to grate a little. Teenager Chodorkoff seemed tentative in early scenes on opening night, but she plays Beatrice with an endearing, and enduring, sense of naivetÊ. She clings to her faith as long as she can, and when she finally complies with the other women’s ruse, it’s clear that a moral rampart has been breached. As the traveling entertainer Cat, Emily

Lee plays a smaller supporting role, but she plays it well. On stage alone, she holds the audience’s gaze with confidence as she sings and dances in a kind of one-woman chorus. A scene between her and Chodorkoff ’s Beatrice allows the two to play off each other effectively as opposing values — streetwise and sanctimonious, respectively. As the new “mother” Helen,
Adams turns in the most fully realized performance, moving with seeming ease along an emotional spectrum that ranges from grieving widow to emboldened architect of her destiny. The play also calls on Adams to sing, which she does with notable skill and emotional nuances that fit the scene. While individual performances are strong, Twist in the Rising
languishes occasionally between plot turns. Some scenes find characters immersed in dialogue that begins to sap the urgency from otherwise crisp storytelling. For example, as Baldwin draws near, the tension ignited by his impending arrival is left to dissipate in lengthy conversation. Moreover, the play’s final scenes leave some confusion regarding the foundling’s fate as well as her
origin. And, at least on opening night, the actors seemed to have reached only a shaky consensus on how to greet Baldwin when he is standing on the other side of the door. That this tale of strong women ends with a bit of a whimper doesn’t undo the impressive work accomplished over its two acts. The world of womenfolk in the period just

after the last Crusade is compellingly implied by the action within the set’s small chamber, and enhanced by composer Eliza Moore’s period-style music. While the play reaches far back into the past, it brings a contemporary resonance to its historical depictions. Twist in the Rising is a story of damsels in distress — who hope their “knights in shining armor” will stay far away. �

EXHIBIT “Gridwork,” a group show featuring 16 Vermont artists inspired by line. Flynndog, Burlington. Through July 30.
ARTWORK “Vermont Landscape #1” by Frank Woods
PHOTO Marc Awodey
ridwork,” at the Flynndog gallery in Burlington’s South End, is an exhibition of 45 pieces by 16 painters, sculptors and installation artists. Curator Jane Horner came up with the title first, then asked artists to submit pieces based on its openended theme. The result is a highly diverse yet solid show. P.K. Ellis’ “Daydream” is an installation that reflects on the classroom learning about vectors and grids with which we were burdened as children. It’s a turn-ofthe-20th-century child’s school desk on which rulers, crayons and black-and-white picture books of the period are neatly arranged. Another Ellis assemblage entitled “Meadow” is equally successful. A 10-by12-inch, vertically hung black box houses the hexagonal grid of a section of a paper wasp’s nest; above it, an actual black crow’s wing is splayed open. Curator Horner’s 4-foot-in-diameter bamboo “Nest” is down the hall on the gallery floor, resembling a toppled satellite dish. It’s actually a round basket with long strands of loose bamboo radiating from its edges. Horner’s “Spillway 3” is a downward-tumbling, wood-and-metal installation of de-barked, curvy sticks hanging from a grid of wires, which is suspended from the pipes of the post-industrial Flynndog ceiling. Long bamboo strips, loosely gathered under the sticks, form an abstract representation of eddies at the base of a churning waterfall. Art history’s best-known painter of grids was probably Piet Mondrian (1872-1944), whose hard-edged squares enclosing primary colors are iconographic of the 1920s Bauhaus aesthetic. By contrast, most of the painters of “Gridwork” have rejected hard edges in favor of loose brush strokes and freer uses of color. “Vermont Landscape #1,” by Frank Woods, is more derivative of Richard Diebenkorn (1922-1993) than of Mondrian. Woods’ slivers of bright hue imply a high horizon, while moderately straight lines break the yellow color field beneath them into an irregular patchwork of abstract meadows. Woods’ “Vermont Landscape #2” is a blue vertical canvas, composed over a horizontal forest scene. The deep green conifers of the forest creep almost invisibly up the left side of the picture. Thin white and red lines, like power lines and roadways, are superimposed on the indigo. Toni-Lee Sangastiano’s “Wonder Study” is a 34by-48-inch oil described as a “study for a larger painting.” Sangastiano is known for her carnival
Most of the painters of “Gridwork” have rejected hard edges in favor of loose brush strokes and freer uses of color. and circus themes, and the wonder of “Wonder Study” is a great Ferris wheel in the upper right of the composition. Foreground shadows of a chainlink fence, gray clouds and puddles indicate that the photograph from which Sangastiano appears to have worked captured the sunlight just as it poked through storm clouds, heightening the gaudy colors of the carnival. Light also plays an important role in the works of Peter Robinson Smith. A trio of copper screen horses, each about 14 inches long, gallops across a Flynndog wall. “Wild Horses” and other figurative screen reliefs by Smith interact with gallery light in fascinating ways, casting overlapping, finely meshed
shadows like glazes on the walls. The use of grids in art is as old as the pyramids. The ancient Egyptians standardized their portrayal of human beings with a canon based on grids. Standing figures, for example, existed in a 3-by-6 grid of 18 squares, while seated figures were based on 14-square grids arranged in three rows of three, with another two squares on top. Ultimately, though, the Egyptians’ grids became straitjackets. The lines in “Gridwork” don’t suffer from that problem; they’re so playfully employed that they often seem more like oblique references to grids than the things themselves. Like rules, perhaps, grids are meant to be broken. m

SUBJECT MATTERS
Two photographers and a painter appear at Studio STK in
Burlington this month. The painter, Michael Savoie, examines art-historical images and uses them as a point of departure for his vibrant acrylics. The photographers examine themselves. Their joint exhibition, entitled “Eccentric Photography,” consists of pieces based on self-portraiture. Reid Crosby works in black and white, while Ash LaRose often creates with color. It’s safe to assume that neither artist has trouble finding models. Pictured: “Untitled — Self Portrait” by LaRose.

Get Smart Don’t get a big head. With a little effort, though, you might increase your brain size. That’s the promise if you spend some time working through the mind-benders included in “Big Brain Academy: Wii Degree” for the Nintendo Wii. Scientifically speaking, “BBA” may not actually swell the gray matter inside your skull. Still, for purposes of living-room amusement, the game does track your progress in quickly solving various analytical, computational and visual problems with a graphic representing an evergrowing lump of brains. Solve a series of consecutive puzzles correctly and quickly, and you add grams to your brain score. Mess up, and your brain shrivels as it sheds pounds. The original brain-building games for the Nintendo DS provided a surprisingly popular diversion. Freed from the narrative context of killing things and saving things, players enjoyed the pseudoscientific pleasures of solving puzzles and muscling up their minds. “Brain Age” tossed math problems and pattern-matching activities at players, then rated their performance as an actual age of the player’s mind. “Big Brain” went goofier, introducing a smartypants worm in a mortarboard hat who encouraged your academic performance while presenting you with slightly more amusing versions of the interactions from “Brain Age.” The new Wii version might as well be titled “Laser Pointer Fun.” Even though the game offers plenty of new activities, the Wii motionsensing controller doesn’t serve much purpose other than being a handy device for aiming at things on the screen. Need to indicate which numbers add up to 27? Use the Wii remote to point at them. Trying to identify what’s depicted in an image slowly resolving on the

screen? Point at the correct animal name and press the button. The simple, point-and-click play promises fun while proving that people enjoy pointing almost as much as they enjoy laughing. Perhaps it’s the perennial desire to prove that we’re quantitatively smarter than the other guy. Or maybe it’s the gambler’s compulsion: Small rewards keep you playing. No wonder the game’s at its best in multiplayer mode, offering both head-to-head and cooperative options. Using two controllers, up to eight players can face off in groups of teams in a race to solve the cerebral work-outs the game shoots out in rapid succession. Nintendo fans weaned on “Metroid,” or even “Mario,” will find that games such as “BBA” are hastening the company’s march away from the hardcore fans and toward the hard-of-hearing set. Sure, this might rankle “Zelda” fans used to spending hours just learning to play a game. For the rest of the world, though, earning a Wii degree
provides all the video game they can handle. Once again, Nintendo delivers entertainment that doesn’t disappoint. Who’s It For: Once you are old enough to read, you’re old enough to enjoy “Big Brain Academy: Wii Degree.” The game assembles activities simple enough to pick up after a few minutes, and challenging enough to train your brain on a daily basis. If You Like This, Try That: The Wii has no shortage of mini-game collections. “Wario Ware: Smooth Moves” never fails to please, while “Wii Sports” and “Wii Play” provide slightly more active versions of video-game fun. Best Part: Sharing your “Academy” progress with friends over the Wii’s Internet connection gives you the charge of having big-headed competitions with pals all over the world.

theborowitzreport Congress Hires Illegal Immigrants to Write Immigration Bill
I
n an attempt to break the nagging logjam over immigration, congressional leaders announced today that they were hiring illegal immigrants to write the nation’s new immigration bill. While some observers criticized the decision to employ illegals to draft the very bill that would regulate themselves, Sen. John Kyl, R-Ariz., said that the move was a “win-win” for the American people. “No one understands the thorny issue of immigration better than the people who have been sneaking into our country,” Kyl said. “Plus, these folks work cheap.” One outspoken critic of the plan was CNN’s Lou Dobbs, who blasted Congress for putting illegal immigrants in charge of the nation’s immigration laws. “This would be the equivalent of CNN outsourcing my xenophobic rants to Bangalore,” Dobbs said. According to the plan, which went into effect at midnight, the United States will bus illegal aliens across the border to work as “guest congressmen” to draft the nation’s new immigration laws. The illegals will remain in the country long enough to write the new immigration
laws, after which they will be permitted to run for election for permanent congressman status. Juan Carmelo Gutierrez, 35, a former migrant worker who is taking advantage of the “guest congressman” program, says that while drafting the nation’s immigration laws is arduous work, he still prefers it to his previous job. “Being a congressman is definitely easier than picking fruit,” says Gutierrez. “Plus, you get most of the year off.” Elsewhere, the New England Journal

ARIES (March 21-April 19): We’re almost halfway through 2007. It’s time to take inventory of how well you’re capitalizing on this year’s unique opportunities. So let me ask you, Aries: Have you been making reconnaissance missions into previously forbidden territory? Are you seeking adventures beyond the borders of your known world? I hope so. I hope you’re blowing your own mind on a regular basis, both by exposing it to ideas it has never dared to entertain and by seeking out exotic experiences it has no precedents for.
declaration: “I can’t believe I’m saying this, but this year I realized in many colorful ways that limitations are my friends. The obstructions I faced eventually forced me to become far more resourceful than I’d ever been before. The wastefulness I uncovered showed me how important it is to shed my trivial wishes and focus intensely on my top priority desires. The confusions I encountered taught me valuable secrets about how to master my emotions and dissolve my superstitious fears.�
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): We’re almost
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): We’re almost
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): How well are you capitalizing on this year’s unique opportunities, Leo? Now that we’re almost halfway through 2007, let’s take an inventory. I’m hoping that six months from now, you’ll look back and say the following: “This was the year I learned how to play and have fun on a higher level. I resurrected everything I knew about playing and having fun as a child, and applied it to my life as an adult. I liberated my imagination in the bedroom and in the workplace; I gave myself permission to seek out amusement and delight as if they were the holiest motivations of all. I cavorted and joked and fooled around as if my dreams depended on it.�
CANCER (June 21-July 22): How well
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): How well are you capitalizing on this year’s unique opportunities, Virgo? Now that we’re almost halfway through 2007, let’s take an inventory. I’m hoping that six months from now, you’ll look back and say the following: “This was the year I came all the way home. It was a turning point when I learned to speak with my own voice instead of trying to speak with the voices of everyone who’s ever been important to me. In 2007 I found my power spot, my mother lode, my sacred ground. For the first time, I have a deeply felt certainty that I belong here on this planet; I belong here in my life; I belong here in this community and this mission and this body.�
halfway through 2007. Let’s take inventory of how well you’re capitalizing on this year’s unique opportunities. Are you becoming a better judge of character? Have you cultivated your skill at reading people’s energy and understanding what motivates them? I hope so, because 2007 should be the year you generate big benefits for yourself by bringing out the best in your allies and cohorts. Whenever you catalyze their potentials, the universe will in turn conspire to catalyze your potentials.
halfway through 2007. It’s time to take inventory of how well you’re capitalizing on this year’s unique opportunities. So let me ask you, Gemini: Are you working hard to heal the indecisiveness that has dissipated your energy in the past? I hope so. You’ve never had a better chance to unify your divided mind than you have now; you will continue to be the beneficiary of unprecedented help from cosmic forces whenever you make concentrated efforts to coordinate your diverse desires. I urge you to invoke all your ingenuity as you seek out the magic that will make you a virtuoso of variety.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Now
that we’re almost halfway through 2007, it’s time to assess how well you’re capitalizing on this year’s unique opportunities. So let me ask you a few pointed questions. Have you been reinventing yourself from the ground up at least once a week? Have you been shedding old shticks and learning new tricks? How relentlessly have you committed yourself to the arts of liberation? There’s still a lot of time to become even more receptive and responsive to the steady stream of wake-up calls that life is sending your way. For the next six months, you’ll have cosmic luck on your side whenever you actively court the fertile blessings of future shock.

are you capitalizing on this year’s unique opportunities, Pisces? Now that we’re almost halfway through 2007, let’s take an inventory. I’m hoping that six months from now, you’ll look back and say something like the following: “To my astonishment, this was the year I beat 70 percent of my fear of success and dissolved 80 percent of my tendency to sabotage my ambitions. Not only that. To my great satisfaction, I shed 70 percent of my martyr complex, lost 75 percent of my fascination for glamorous suffering, and smashed 85 percent of my perverse attraction to the victim archetype. This was one of the Best. Years. Ever.�

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): How well are you capitalizing on this year’s unique opportunities, Aquarius? Now that we’re almost halfway through 2007, let’s take an inventory. I’m hoping that six months from now, you’ll look back and say something like the following: “I’m pleased that this year I’ve met many new people and expanded my network and reached a bigger audience. I’m ecstatic that I have deepened my connections with pragmatic idealists who share my core values. And I’m proud that I have honed my message and product so well that I’m having a more profound influence than ever before.�

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): We’re almost halfway through 2007. Let’s take inventory of how well you’re capitalizing on this year’s unique opportunities. Are you exorcising the ghosts that have messed with you for so long? Have you been wrapping up all unfinished business and resolving every ambiguous pain-in-the-ass that has sapped your energy? I hope so. By your next birthday, I’m rooting for you to finally graduate from the lessons you’ve been studying for years. Then you’ll be primed and receptive for the fresh teachings that will begin flowing your way in 2008.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Now that we’re almost halfway through 2007, it’s time to assess how well you’re capitalizing on this year’s unique opportunities. So let me ask you a few questions. Have you been working hard to increase your value? I don’t just mean economically, although it’s true that this is the best time in over a decade for you to make more money and launch long-term plans for financial growth. But I hope that you’re also adding to your worth in every way you can imagine, like by getting the training and new skills that will make you irresistible to future employers, lovers, and collaborators; and by purifying your motivations and clarifying your ethics and bolstering your integrity.

LIbRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): We’re almost halfway through 2007. Let’s take inventory of how well you’re capitalizing on this year’s unique opportunities. I hope you’ve realized by now that although you’ve always been a pretty good communicator, there’s room for you to become even better. For instance, you can learn to be much better at saying what you really mean instead of what you think people want to hear, yet without sacrificing your natural tact. You can also become more adept at staying true to yourself while still being sensitive to other people; you can increasingly find that you don’t have to lose touch with what you really feel as you empathetically tune in to what everyone else feels.

film review see her doing Chekhov off -Broadway, if you know what I mean. The Fantastic Other Three are Chris Evans (the Human Torch), Michael Chiklis (the Thing) and Ioan Gruffudd. His nom de superpower is Mr. Fantastic, something I don’t understand, since his special talent is to go all elastic and stretch parts of his body to whatever length a given situation requires. Most of the time he seems to use this ability for personal convenience rather than for good. He doesn’t have to leave his desk, for example, to reach a scientific text across the room. Does this really meet the criteria for “fantastic”? It seems to me he ought to be called Elasticman, Stretchy Guy or the Human Rubber Band — something along those lines. Much of the movie, believe it or not, involves wedding plans: Gruffudd and Alba are scheduled to tie the knot. His character is also a supergenius, so he’s aware that a mysterious force is wreaking havoc with “the universe’s ambient cosmic energies,” perhaps dooming the planet. But he doesn’t let on because he doesn’t want to spoil the occasion for his fiancée. When the U.S. Army, in the form of a gruff general played by André Braugher, orders him to construct a device to locate the source of the threat, he works on the project behind her back.
Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer HH
T BOARD MEETING The Silver Surfer has second thoughts about destroying the Earth after a close encounter with Alba.
here have been countless movies about Armageddon. Even one called Armageddon. The Earth has been on the brink of big-screen obliteration so many times you may figure Hollywood has run out of ways to save the world. Not so fast. I believe I can state with certainty that this is the first motion picture in which the alien force threatening to wipe out all life as we know it backs off because a doe-eyed blonde politely asks it to. The aforementioned blonde is played by Jessica Alba, a young actress with whose body of work I am unacquainted; still, I suspect she’s really, really glad she lucked into the role of the Invisible Woman in 20th Century Fox’s Fantastic Four franchise. I don’t
Killer of Sheep HHHH
I BRUTAL ART Charles Burnett’s recovered masterpiece about daily life in urban L.A. runs quiet, cuts deep.
talian filmmakers were reeling from war and fascist rule when they created a genre called neorealist during the early 1940s. Low-budget features such as Vittorio De Sica’s The Bicycle Thief relied on amateur actors and mostly outdoor locations in devastated cities to depict the everyday lives of an impoverished population. A 1977 underground classic, Killer of Sheep by Charles Burnett, captured that documentary-like cinema of social conscience to perfection. Three decades later, it has been resurrected for release and opens Wednesday, June 20, at the Roxy in Burlington. The black-and-white picture was a thesis project for Burnett, who was then earning a Master’s degree from the University of Southern California in Los Angeles. As the writer, director, cinematographer, editor and producer, he shot it in his own Watts neighborhood for less than $10,000 but could not afford the music rights that would have allowed a theatrical run. Instead, after a few prize-winning festival debuts, Killer of Sheep slipped into cinematic obscurity — until recently, when it was restored by UCLA archivists. The soundtrack employs songs by Elmore James, George Gershwin and Louis Armstrong, among others. “The House I Live In,” Paul Robeson’s ode to the democracy long denied to people of color, really resonates. One particular tune, Dinah Washington’s “This Bitter Earth,” is repeated a few times. Lyrics like “What good am I? Heaven only knows . . .” illustrate Burnett’s story about a young man at an apparent dead end. Stanley (Henry Gayle Sanders) works at a slaugh-
terhouse — hence the movie’s title — for despicable wages. He’s too depressed to sleep or have sex with his beautiful, increasingly frustrated wife, unnamed but played by Kaycee Moore. Their son Stan Jr. (Jack Drummond), on the verge of adolescence, is a bit defiant. Only little daughter Angela (Angela Burnett, the director’s niece) manages to cajole her father into an occasional smile. Perhaps on the threshold of complete dysfunction, the family nonetheless seems a bastion of stability in Watts — which shares some of Italy’s post-war miasma. The adult Stan’s acquaintances don’t appear to have jobs and often turn to him for money. He’d love to quit the butchery trade, but his only other job opportunity, as a grocery store clerk, would subject him to unwelcome advances from the lecherous older white woman who owns the place. All this exposition is subtly woven into a narrative that, without much dialogue, ambles along at a leisurely pace. Burnett offers episodic glimpses of a community mired in urban decay, yet graced by the inhabitants’ strong and somewhat mystical Southern sensibilities. Although used sparingly, the comic relief is primarily delivered by Stan’s clueless but affable best pal, Gene (Eugene Cherry). First he loses a car engine by refusing to secure it properly on the back of a pick-up truck; then he ruins a group outing to the race track for want of a spare tire. A good-looking guy who radiates charisma, Sanders portrays Stan with just the right measure of
While the thing is under construction, the Earth receives a visit from a silver guy from space who, inexplicably, flies around on a surfboard. (What was Stan Lee on back then, anyway?) He disrupts the weather patterns of the places he zooms over for no apparent reason: Whoosh. A Japanese bay freezes solid. Whoosh. The Sphinx is covered in snow. In the end, we learn that the Silver Surfer’s only purpose is to guide the world-devouring cloud monster Galactus to Earth, like an anatomically incorrect homing beacon. So it turns out all those flashy climate-change sequences were literally just for effect. Anyhoo, a villain named Victor von Doom (Julian McMahon) who perished in the first film reappears without explanation. Meanwhile, Gruffudd helps the Army get its hands on the Silver Surfer, and the filmmakers break the Saturday morning cartoon mood by attempting to make an actual comment on Abu Ghraib and secret CIA bases. The FF are forced to decide whose side they’re on when Braugher and his boys go to work on the shiny guy. The story’s turning point arrives when Alba vacuously gazes into his eyes and inquires, “Why do you want to destroy us?” Well, how can he after that? “You remind me of the one I love,” the Surfer confesses. So I guess the moral of the story is that even if there is no intelligent life on other planets, there are more like Jessica Alba out there. The bottom line? This is a series that bucks the comic book movie trend. Other filmmakers take material geared to adolescent boys and add layers of drama, humor and psychological depth. Director Tim Story and company have chosen to go the other way. The target audience would appear to be extremely young viewers who’ve never seen a movie about superheroes. They may find something remotely fantastic here. The rest of us have seen it all before. RICK KISONAK
existential alienation. Moore is equally touching as a spouse unable to rescue the man she loves from his misery. Their kids, often seen romping in the proverbial mean streets with other mischievous youngsters, come across as genuine children rather than diminutive actors. Stan’s persistent insomnia is cleverly juxtaposed with slaughterhouse scenes that have the hallucinatory momentum of a dream — albeit a nightmare for the animals and the sensitive protagonist. Burnett went on to a so-called “genius grant” from the MacArthur Foundation in 1988 and a modest indie career that includes 1990’s To Sleep with Anger, starring Danny Glover. In the same year, Killer of Sheep, a minimalist masterpiece, was honored as a national treasure by the Library of Congress. At 63, however, its AfricanAmerican auteur still lacks the Hollywood recognition he deserves on this bitter earth. SUSAN GREEN

ay Vogler of Charlotte’s Pizza on Earth retrieves a “China Blueâ€? from the depths of his wood-fired oven, its top roiling from the 700-degree heat, edges erupting into dark-brown blisters. The unusual name refers to the pizza’s featured ingredients: garlic oil, sautĂŠed onions, bok choy, blue cheese and mozzarella. The aromas are such that you’ve gotta steal a wedge en route to an outdoor picnic table. Luckily, walking and eating pizza at the same time is a piece of cake. No matter how you slice it, dough slathered with hot, cheesy toppings is the ultimate convenience food — no forks or dishes required. Vermonters in particular can’t get enough of the stuff. According to the trade journal Pizza Today, which does an annual state-by-state analysis, Vermont ranks eighth in the U.S. in number of pizzerias per capita, up from 11th place in 1998. What accounts for the proliferation of pie pushers? Burlington’s college market isn’t too hard to figure out. On weekend nights, semi-sloshed downtown crowds gather at Big Daddy’s, Manhattan Pizza and Mr. Mike’s to snag their speedy slices. Papa John’s recently landed in the Burlington spot formerly occupied by the 135 Pearl nightclub. But the pizza mania extends way beyond the Queen City. In Colchester, Junior’s is just putting the finishing touches on a massive new building that will allow the restaurant to churn out more authentic New York pies. The city of Montpelier has a healthy number of eateries devoted to pizza production — see accompanying story page 06B. And that’s not including Sarducci’s. Increasingly, too, Vermont’s pizza obsession encompasses much more than
standard variations on the basic pie — most often credited to Raffaele Esposito of Naples who cooked up the first thin-crust “pizza alla Margherita� for a hungry queen in 1889. At its flagship restaurant in Waitsfield, American Flatbread revolutionized the pizza experience by featuring combinations of unique local ingredients. Middlebury and Burlington duplicated the concept. You see the same approach at a place like Pizza on Earth, where the blank crust is viewed as an opportunity for culinary invention. Pizza has morphed many times over the years, from “pita pizzas� and

“English muffin pizzasâ€? to cardboard-textured frozen pizzas and ooey-gooey “stuffed crusts.â€? The hottest trend today? Gourmet. It’s a slippery term. At many pizzerias, “gourmetâ€? connotes “fusion foodâ€? topping combos that would make a Naples native shudder. Take, for example, the “Hawaiian pizza,â€? with its chunks of canned pineapple and carnation-pink strips of processed ham. Or Domino’s artery-clogging “bacon cheeseburger feast.â€? The local outpost of mega-chain Pizza Hut currently proffers such “gourmetâ€? add-ons as banana peppers, green olives and jalapeĂąos, all of which are undeniably preferable to the worrisomely vague “pork toppingâ€? and “beef topping.â€? Soylent Green comes to mind. What defines real high-end pizza? Phil George of Leonardo’s Pizza has offered his interpretation since 1990. The local Burlington-area chain, which bills its product as “Creative Quality Pizza,â€? boasts a slew of toppings unlikely to be found at mom ’n’ pop places or national chains: black beans, eggplant, sun-dried tomatoes, artichoke
core ideas.� Thus, the Burlington biz gets the goods from the Intervale and other Chittenden county locales, while the Addison and Washington locations stick mainly to farms in their own backyards. Schenk also had the foresight to get into the gourmet frozen pizza market. His pies, which retail for around $12 (large), are available in all 50 states. Last October, Flatbread was number 28 on a list of the nation’s 100 highest-grossing indie pizza companies. When you consider that independents accounted for nearly 65 percent of the U.S. pizza places last year, a spot at the top is a big deal. Vogler’s Pizza on Earth can’t compete with American Flatbread on volume, but on freshness, his operation is unbeatable. Many of the veggies that end up augmenting Vogler’s flavorful wheat and rye dough are grown on the property — a working farm — using sustainable practices. A flock of laying hens wanders around outside the building that houses Vogler’s wood-fired oven.

don’t seem to mind. “The average person who comes in spends on the order of $20, but you get an organic salad and a flatbread that is thoughtfully made, plus drinks,� Schenk explains. He doesn’t think fresh, organic local foods should be compared with supermarket product in terms of price, saying, “Excellence in virtually every field costs more. It’s an unrealistic expectation that it shouldn’t cost more.� An article in the June issue of Pizza Today suggests the rest of the country may be coming around. In “Fresh-tastic!� author Katie Ayoub asks, “Is menuing fresh produce worth it?� and concludes that it is, despite the extra cost and hassle — in part because such fresh sourcing gives restaurateurs “the use of powerful, evocative words such as ‘seasonal’ . . . and ‘freshcut.’� The article quoted one North Carolina merchant noting, “Customers have always said they care about fresh, but it’s only been recently that customers are really ready to act on eating fresh.� Not surprisingly, chains are trying to capitalize on the gourmet cachet, with mixed results.

For the extra-health-conscious and vegan crowds, Leo’s offers whole-wheat crusts and “herbal soy cheese.� Signor Da Vinci, who was a vegetarian, might have willingly lent his name to the place. By the time Leonardo’s launched, George Schenk was five years into American Flatbread Company. Long before the “localvore� movement, he pioneered the idea of topping pizzas with farm-fresh ingredients harvested from Vermont, especially the Mad River Valley. A sumptuous-sounding recent special, for example, featured a savory mix of roasted lamb, chard, fingerling potatoes, spring garlic and feta, all from nearby farms. The concept caught on. After opening a second location at the Marble Works in Middlebury, Schenk began licensing the concept to like-minded flatbread entrepreneurs, such as Paul Sayler and Rob Downey, who co-own the Burlington operation. Eight more flatbread restaurants have since opened all over the country — the newest one is in Northern Virginia. Schenk describes franchising as “an opportunity for a local interpretation of the
put them on a crust for easy, healthy eating. Add some tasty cheese, and you’ve got a quick and delicious dinner. The Voglers used to grow the produce and sling the pies. But the pizzeria has gotten so popular, the Voglers let someone else do the “ground work.� A former employee now leases the land and manages it under the name Stony Loam Farm. That has freed up Vogler and his wife, Marcia, to turn out Europeanstyle loaves and vend homemade bagels, pastries, marshmallows and gelato. Unlike Leonardo’s, which offers the convenience of delivery for those late-night quality carb cravings, Pizza on Earth is a dining destination. In summer, the Voglers peddle their $13 pies on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 4 to 7:30 p.m. to coincide with the arrival of customers picking up their veggie shares from Stony Loam Farm. Plenty of others pull up just for the pizza, though. Some call in advance for take-out; others eat al fresco on the premises. Premium pizza such as Vogler’s and Schenk’s doesn’t come as cheap as the chain pie on the corner, but if the lines are any indication, their customers
its traditional offerings with “olives grown in the rich soils of Spain,� fresh-sliced onions and tomatoes. The fare’s pretty pedestrian, though. A recent order included an unwelcome “garlic dipping sauce,� which smells and tastes like the stuff sprayed on movie theater popcorn. A case for a pizza police force? There is one: Keepers of the “true pizza of Naples� since 1984, the Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana only recognizes two varieties of pizza pie: the classic Margherita with tomato sauce, basil and mozzarella; and the “pizza marinara,� with tomato sauce, herbs, garlic and olive oil. Such pizza purists would certainly scoff at a bacon-cheeseburger pie. But they might turn up their noses at George’s “Gorgonzola Gourmet,� Schenk’s “Punctuated Equilibrium� or Vogler’s blue cheese and bok choy pizza. That is, until they get a whiff. Vermont pizza fans aren’t complaining. Whether you like your slices dripping with grease at 2 a.m. or sustainable and sanctified, you’ll find ’em here. We may not have the highest number of pie places per capita, but we’re way ahead of the pizza curve. >

Booze News ANHEUSER-BUSCH GETS IN THE VERMONT SPIRIT
If the name Anheuser-Busch calls to mind merely cheap beer and rollercoasters, it may be time to revise your view. The beverage giant has agreed to start distributing Vermont Spirits’’ premium gold and white vodkas — made from maple sap and milk sugar, respectively — throughout New England. The rest of the country will follow. Why did the local company sign on with the big guys? “It does streamline things for us,” explains Harry Gorman,, VP in charge of operations. “We wanted to improve our distribution.” Another big bonus: A-B will help out with marketing. Will we see Vermont Spirits starring in Super Bowl halftime commercials? “I doubt it,” Gorman says with a chuckle. The 7-year-old distillery plans to increase production to meet the anticipated demand. “We’re counting on that . . . We worked out deals with our suppliers that will sustain us through our future needs,” Gorman explains. Not all those suppliers are in the Green Mountain State. “Some of our maple sap comes from Canada; we don’t discriminate in that way,” Gorman says. “We used to try to only use Vermont maple sap or maple syrup, but we’re needing quite a lot of it these days.” The weird weather during sugaring season didn’t help. The company’s future needs may include flavorful “local botanicals,” though. Per president Duncan Holaday, Vermont Spirits hopes to add a Vermont-made gin to its product line. . . . Looking for something that won’t put you under the table? The latest thing in brewing appears to be beer and food pairings. Hen of the Wood at the Grist Mill is pouring the brews from Morrisville’s Rock Art Brewery on June 28. On July 4, the Jackson House Inn and Restaurant in Woodstock is matching a patriotic, all-American dinner with craft beers. This is the place to learn what kind of brew goes with iceberg lettuce or baby back ribs. Uh, Bud? Fireworks will follow. On July 8, learn how much “Cheese Loves Beer” at the American Flatbread Burlington Hearth. All of the featured cheeses will be from Vermont and Québec. Brew guru and co-owner Paul Saylor expects the event to sell out quickly.
Strawberry Stuff INTRODUCING . . . FRUITUBE?
The world’s largest strawberry contest is on! Never heard of it? That’s because the first reference to the international event showed up yesterday in a YouTube video, introduced by a blurb that proclaims, “This is a strawberry currently in Vermont.” The enigmatic creator — a man known
only as Adam — may not have a last name, but there are two things he does have: a video camera and a wicked big strawberry. Showing off the luscious-looking fruit that’s almost as big as his hand, Adam relates how the 5-inch-long, 3-inchwide, California-grown berry made its way into his shopping cart. Do you have a bigger berry? . . . Maybe Sam Mazza’s 11th annual strawberry festival in Colchester will turn up a prizewinner on Saturday. But even if it doesn’t, Manager Laurie Mazza Bombard, Bombard Sam’s daughter, promises this year’s bumper crop is tasting super-sweet. “Last year they were very waterlogged and didn’t have the flavor,” she opines. The ruby fruit runs $1.70 a pound. Too hot to go home and make shortcake? You can buy it at the fest, along with some more unusual items, such as fresh strawberry fudge. There are plenty of other pick-your-own opps around the state. Visit the “strawberry season” post on our “Omnivore” blog for a link to a list of venues.

e’re down with that.” That was press secretary Jason Gibbs’ would-be-hip reply when The New York Times asked him whether his boss, Governor Jim Douglas, had seen a certain little YouTube video called “802.” In the viral clip, three Montpelier High School juniors who call themselves X10 put the milk-and-maple state on the hip-hop map with their tongue-in-cheek rhymes. The group was recently interviewed for an upcoming appearance on NPR’s “Here and Now.” It’s good to know the governor is down with “802.” But what about the owners of three Montpelier pizzerias the kids named — and ranked — in their rap? If it were food writing, “802” would need a vigilant editor. “We got seven different places to buy a pizza slice,” the rappers chant in the video. In retrospect, X10 members confess the number should have been four. “Seven was just kind of over-grading, I guess,”
says Pat Leene, 17, a.k.a. P Nasty. “We didn’t really quite sit there and figure it out. If you’re looking for seven places to buy a pizza slice, we’ll figure something out,” he adds with a laugh. Village Pizza, Angeleno’s and Girasole were each given a line in the video. Despite the fact that only one — Girasole — got a thumbs-up from X10 members, all three establishments have seen small increases in business. Who got left out? Group members say it’s new kid on the block Positive Pie II, with its live music and counter-culture atmosphere. When they wrote their hip-hop culinary review, the choice came down to a flip of a coin between Positive Pie and Girasole — Girasole won. “They are both very fine restaurants,” pronounces diplomat Colin Arisman, 17, a.k.a. C$ — pronounced C money. To prove it, he dishes up an off-thecuff conciliatory rhyme: “Positive Pie where the chefs get high.” His band members howl with approval.

MontpelieriteS rank their pizza • “Angeleno’s is OK, but there’s no edging. But they make the best peanut butter pizza in town,” says 53-year-old Nathalie Lorimer, who says she eats pizza once a week and has a fondness for the pineapple, ham and bacon combo. Positive Pie, says Lorimer, is “so-so. I give a thumbs up to Village Pizza,” she concludes. “I love the taste of the sauce and the dough. Not hard as a rock.” • Montpelier mail carrier Craig Montgomery, 34, says Angeleno’s pizza is the best in town. “It’s not greasy.” • “I like food too much,” says Gerry Eno, a 60-year-old security guard at Montpelier’s Federal Building, patting his stomach. “Village Pizza is greasy, but chewing it is part of the fulfillment.” • Suzanne Hechmer, the 32-year-old executive director of the Montpelier Downtown Community Association, keeps it diplomatically vague, saying only that she “goes for the more gourmet type of pizza.”

ety of pizzas along with its other fare, didn’t make it into the video, either. But for another reason: “I think that Sarducci’s is more of a fine-dining restaurant and less of a parlor. They are very good, but they concentrate more on their pastas than their pizza pie,” says Arisman. When it comes to the ’za, Montpelier is anything but your typical slice of small-town America. In addition to being the only state capital that doesn’t have a McDonald’s or a Starbucks, it’s pizza-chain-free. Can four independently owned pizza restaurants survive in a town of 8000? Though Montpelier’s pizzerias can be found within shouting distance of one another, each seems to have created a niche. The owners disavow any notion that they’re trying to slice the competition. Here’s what they have to say: “But don’t go to Village, ’cause that dude ain’t nice.” With its jukebox and pool table, Village Pizza has the look and feel of a classic pizzeria. It has a long history as a hangout for teens like Arisman and Leene. So why did they dis manager Kenny Johnston, otherwise known as the “ain’t-nice” dude? “He did not really agree with our decision to loiter and remain after we ate our pizza,” recalls Arisman. The video, he says, was “the perfect way to fix our revenge.” “I’ve never had a real run-in with the guy,” demurs Leene. “I usually go with my parents, so he’s always really nice. He does do his job well; we don’t hate the guy. I’ve heard he’s taken it pretty well. He was kind of upset, but he thinks it’s funny now.” Shane Brothers, 34, has owned the well-known City Center pizzeria for 12 years and is taking advantage of his restaurant’s newfound notoriety by running an ad featuring a photo of the “dude who ain’t nice.” Brothers is also offering his $13.75 family-sized 18-inch cheese pizza for $8.02 through the end of the month. “We’ve had a lot of fun with that. We’re getting tremendous response,” he says, but hastens to dispel misconceptions: “We’re fairly kid-friendly, despite the ‘802’ video.” “There are close to 50 different places where you can get lunch or dinner in this town,” Brothers says. “It seems to support all of us. I’m not real concerned about going under as long as I keep doing what I do.” PRICe: $13.75 for an 18-inch cheese pizza.

StranGeSt requeSt: fruit pizza with apricots and apples. “Cross off Angeleno’s, ’cause their pie is overpriced.” “I think we’re very competitive,” says Jan Fortier, 51, who has owned and operated Angeleno’s Barre Street pizzeria for 25 years. “I’m only saying that because someone pointed out to me what was said by those young people who did the rap video. It says that we’re overpriced, and the last time I looked we were comparable with all the other pizzerias.” X10 member Luke Martin, 16, a.k.a. Run Rhymz, stands by his assessment. Sorta. “Maybe it was more for the rhyme,” he admits. “But I’ve gone in there [to Angeleno’s] with a $20 bill for pizza for myself and left without it. At Village I think you can get two slices for $3 — and when you turn the pizza upside down, grease runs off like a waterfall,” Martin adds, proving there’s no pizza reviewer quite as candid as a hungry teen. No grease waterfall runs from Angeleno’s New York-style thincrust pizza, which Fortier describes as a “soft-chewy texture, but it’s not a light, airy type of a pizza dough. It gives you substance.” Fortier says Angeleno’s customers range from families to young people on dates to elderly people going out to eat. “It’s not the musical group, not the hip-hop group,” she says, conjuring up incongruous images of a hip-hop “scene” in Montpelier. Fortier is hesitant to say what distinguishes her restaurant from the competition: “Pizza is just a taste preference.” But she envisions the Montpelier market as one that’s close to saturation. “My thinking is that, very ironically, it’s a pie. And if you slice it six ways you get six big pieces. If you slice it 16 ways, you get 16 smaller pieces. Economics the easy way.” Price: $13.40 for an 18-inch cheese pizza. StranGeSt menu item: Peanut butter pizza, which originated with a customer who had one in Hawaii. The original pizza was peanut butter topped with pineapple, but Fortier says this popular item is often topped with cheese and meats. She’s even made one with a Fluffernut topping and another with Rain Forest Crunch. “What about Girasole’s? — Yeah, that’ll suffice.” “802? That was kind of a surprise, to tell you the truth. I saw it on the Internet. I thought it was really good. We’ve had people that popped in and said, ‘Hey. Did you know you’re on a rap video?’ I thought people were joking around,” says Girasole owner Gary Crouse, 46. Since then, he’s honored X10 with a pizza that spelled out “802” in meatballs. So what is it about two-year-old Girasole that makes it “suffice”? “I’d say Girasole — for a quick, delicious fix that’ll fill you up — is the way to go,” says Arisman. “A lot of our friends work there. Maybe it was a little hometown pride.” Crouse’s culinary background might also be a factor. He’s been cooking since he was 16 and has worked in Germany and Italy and in Manhattan at the Plaza Hotel

Meet the not-nice dude Village Pizza manager Kenny Johnston says he developed his not-nice reputation simply by doing his job. “The teens in this town tend to think this is the teen hang-out, and I simply let them know it’s a restaurant,” says the 37-year-old resident of Woodbury. “I tell them they either need to buy something or leave. Either buy or fly. I simply explain to them that this is a restaurant, and you need to act like human beings. And they think I’m mean because of that.” Johnston, who claims to have no first-hand knowledge of the authors of “802,” also says he’s not as mean as he appears. “Not even close. If you talk to the lunch crowd that comes in, the people that work in the office, they think I’m great,” he says, adding that “They actually thought it was [owner] Shane [Brothers] they were talking about.”
and Trump Towers. Pizza has always played an important role in his life. “My dad’s day to cook was Sunday. So he’d go out and buy pizza. That was his idea of cooking,” Crouse reminisces. “The family would sit around with paper plates. He’d do the dishes, too.” Girasole and Sarducci’s are the only two local restaurants that cook pizza in a wood-fired oven. Crouse says his restaurant, located just across the river on Route 2, is “more family-oriented instead of being like a club atmosphere. We just have good food, and we try to be very consistent in what we do.” That didn’t stop him from taking notice, shortly after he signed papers to open Girasole, when he found out Positive Pie II was coming to town. “We were really, really busy when we first opened, and they definitely put a little bit of a dent in our business,” says Crouse. “I saw some of the younger crowd leaving, but over time they’ve come back.” Price: $11.75 for a 16-inch cheese pizza; $6.75 for the daily all-youcan-eat pizza buffet.
owner Carlo Rovetto, 34. “We’re not competing with the pizzerias here, even though we make great pizzas.” The sandwich board outside the State Street restaurant suggests otherwise, though: “This way for the best slices in town,” it announces, with an arrow pointing toward the door. Because of its State Street location, Positive Pie II draws a lot of foot traffic, often Montpelier High kids on their way home from school, who are lured by the aroma of the $2 New York-style slices, the mystical-looking sign and overall funky atmosphere. “We definitely sell a lot of slices. I think a couple hundred thousand a year,” says Rovetto. The X10 verdict? “I would say, if you want to go for a pizza with character and dignity — The Pie,” says Arisman, sounding more and more like a food critic. “There’s this white garlic sauce, and it’s one of the most fulfilling experiences one can have.” Voracious, verbally clever high schoolers may come and go, but Montpelier’s pizzerias appear to be in it for the long haul.

BY THE TIME WE GOT TO WOODSTOCK . . .
Burlington’s Discover Jazz Fest has been over for more than a week now and some of you are probably experiencing withdrawal-related symptoms: shaking fits, cold sweats, breaking into Borders at 3 a.m. for one last fix from a listening station, etc. Fortunately, just a quick jaunt south of the Queen City — working slogan: “Burlington: We’ve Got Jazz Hands!” — jazz addicts seeking another hit can find their metaphorical dealer. The Interplay Jazz Fest kicks off this Friday at various locations around the town of Woodstock — actual slogan: “Everything You Love About Vermont” — and features the vocal stylings of jazz giant Sheila Jordan. The singer has been scatting and crooning since the early 1950s and has been involved with such luminaries as Charles Mingus, Lennie Tristano and Steve Kuhn. She was also the blushing bride of Charlie Parker’s late, great pianist, Duke Jordan. Jordan brings her impressive jazz pedigree and immense vocal talents to the Unitarian Universalist Church in Woodstock this Sunday. The festival runs through July 5 and features workshops and performances from national and local artists such as saxophonist Fred Haas and pianist Kenny Werner.

CHAOS THEORY Robyn Chaos is super-hot . . . er, I mean, Robyn Chaos is a super-hot artist. Originally schooled in live rock and blues bands, the tattooed turntablist switched gears and earned a degree in music production in London (actual slogan: “Totally Lond On”). From there she incorporated her knowledge of live music to blend influences as far-ranging as Billie Holiday, Stevie Nicks, NIN and Portishead into some of the most electrifying dance music on this, or any other, side of the pond. Internationally renowned, Chaos has toured the world, shaking booties from Melbourne (actual slogan: “Welcome to Melbourne!”) to Miami (working slogan: “The Breast Implant Capital of the East”), but somehow has found the time to squeeze Burlington into her busy schedule. Chaos brings the dark dub to Club Metronome this Sunday with Tricky Pat, Justin R.E.M., Sekhmet and Chris Pattison. Oh, yeah, and she is super-hot.
PLANES, TRAINS AND AUTOMOBILES
FARMERS’ MARKET Batman has the Bat-cave, Superman has his Fortress of Solitude, and in St. Albans (actual slogan: “Maple Sugar Capital of the World”) Americana-noir antiheroes Farm have the Cave of Legends, otherwise known as their basement. Though it doesn’t have Kryptonian hi-def crystal holograms, a tricked-out 1965 Lincoln Futura with a jet engine exhaust or — I’m guessing — a fatherly English butler, it was the birthplace of one of the best local albums to hit the streets in a long time. Recorded over seven months, one instrument at a time, Grey Birds is indie-folk of the most spinechilling variety. If nightmarish illustrator Edward Gorey could have drunk a case of beer and fronted Camper van Beethoven, it would probably have sounded a lot like Farm’s new album — assuming Gorey could sing, of course. This Thursday, the trio unveils the new disc at the Monkey House in Winooski (working slogan: “Home of the World’s Goofiest Rotary!”). If you go, you might want to take the bus.

TOWNSHIP IRDS, THE NEW SIBERIANS CD
ROBYN CHAOS
FRIDAY 6/22
Outside of the occasional 17-hour Ken Burns documentary, history buffs with an ear for good music are often left high and dry. However, this weekend, a little town in central Vermont may have the ultimate soundtrack for audiophile admirers of antiquities, as the Vermont Historical Society presents the eighth annual Vermont History Expo at the Tunbridge Fairgrounds — actual motto: “The Friendliest Town in Vermont.” The festival incorporates the work of historical societies from around the state
CUT AND PASTE There’s a lot of shoddy music writing out there. In fact, according to some of your letters, a few of you think there’s some shoddy music writing right here in these pages, to which I stick out my tongue and say “Thhhhhhhpt!” Anyhoo, one publication that stands out amid the unending stream of drivel produced by the mainstream music machine is the independently published Paste Magazine. I’ve been a fan since its inception — largely for the solid writing, but really ’cuz they give you a free CD sampler with every issue. I’m such a sucker for free stuff. So imagine my surprise to open the June issue and notice on the disc — about 15 tracks after Ryan Adams’ opener — a song by none other than Burlington’s own rising singin’ and songwritin’ star, Gregory Douglass. The song, “Light Don’t Shine,” is classic Douglass. A beautiful tune with some healthy nods to fellow pop-troubadour Rufus Wainright, it’s honestly worth buying the magazine just for this track — though the cover story on Parker Posey is pretty cool, too. Better yet, you could pick up Douglass’ latest album, Up & Away, which opens with the cut and includes 11 of the finest “evocativepop” songs you’ll hear anywhere. You can also check out www.gregorydouglass.com for updates on the artist and links to an upcoming online-exclusive series of live recordings.

to provide fun, compelling exhibits, workshops and events. This year’s provincially cheeky title is “Travel and Transportation: How Vermonters Got There From Here!” In addition to antique cars, railroad displays and various winter transport displays, the event will also feature some of the finest and well-traveled musicians our fair state has to offer, including The Gordon Stone Band, Atlantic Crossing, Fiddleheads, Starline Rhythm Boys and the allstar bluegrass trio Stone, Coane and Sacher. The VHE kicks off this Saturday and runs through the weekend.

24 ODDS AND EVENS :: When you release a “Sesame Street”-themed children’s video entitled “Vowel Movement,” it’s reasonable to expect a few raised eyebrows — especially if you’re Ian MacKaye. The singer for seminal punk-hardcore bands Fugazi and Minor Threat has been pushing buttons for decades. From coining the term “emo” — originally meant as a slight, by the way — to founding iconic, Washington D.C.-based hardcore label Dischord Records, the dude has eschewed convention with every step. He’s at it again with

LASLO CAMEO, 2ND AVENUE SERENADE
MEAGAN WALSH, FLOAT
(Rio Campos Records, CD)
(Self-released, CD)
Not that I know from firsthand experience, but it ain’t easy being beautiful. Whether you’re underestimated and written off as “just another pretty face” or spoon-fed otherwise undeserved attention, good looks can be quite a burden. They can also be a serious stumbling block. Who doesn’t know a hottie or two — male or female — who never quite developed the life skills and interpersonal abilities most of us take for granted? Hell, I’ve dated at least six of them. No, wait . . . seven. But I digress. Meagan Walsh’s voice is gorgeous. Dropdead, head-turningly, knee-weakeningly gorgeous. That’s not to say the singer-songwriter is hard on the eyes — she certainly isn’t — but the Vermont native has pipes that your average chick with a guitar would kill for. Whether soaring over a bouncy acoustic pop groove or whispering through a weepy ballad, the girl can emote, man. But like a prom queen who has always relied on her looks to get by, she’s got some issues beneath the surface. Though Walsh possesses a naturally radiant voice, listening to her debut album, Float, reveals that she hasn’t fully mastered its vast potential. Decorative trills and stylistic inflections are often marred by sliding pitch, drawing attention away from her generally solid and occasionally stunning performances. Walch deserves credit for not relying on the all-too-common electronic crutch of digitally shifting pitch. But recording engineer and co-producer Peter Engisch would have done well to insist that the talented singer re-take some vocal tracks. The artist and her material deserve better. Walch’s songwriting most likely won’t confound you with earth-shattering revelations; its ruminations on tried-and-true themes such as love, loss and perseverance are readily available across the pop landscape. But she does a commendable job of injecting her own personality, wit and experience into these lyrics. She’s not reinventing the wheel, but she’s definitely put some new tread on the tires. Think of her as a less angsty Ani DiFranco with a touch of Tori Amos’ more melodramatic work, and I think you’ll get the idea. With Float, Meagan Walsh has delivered a promising — if imperfect — debut. Give her a little time and guidance to iron out the kinks, and we should be seeing big things from this homegrown talent in the near future. Guest musicians Russ Lawton, Peter Engisch and Rudy Dauth join Walsh as she celebrates the release of her new album this Wednesday, June 20, at the FlynnSpace. DAN BOLLES
One of the cornier ways to begin any piece of writing, whether it be an article, school essay or — ahem — CD review, is to quote a definition from that bastion of semantic perfectionism, Merriam-Webster’s Dictionary. Though it pains me to do so, in this case it seems appropriate. Let’s get this over with. Webster’s defines “cliché” as “1: a trite phrase or expression; also: the idea expressed by it. 2: a hackneyed theme, characterization or situation. 3: something (as a menu item) that has become overly familiar or commonplace.” Entries in future editions of the venerable reference guide may well include a picture of 2nd Avenue Serenade — the debut album from central Vermont roots outfit Laslo Cameo. The record begins by breaking the cardinal rule of inventive songwriting: Avoid gratuitous use of the word “baby.” In fact, it’s the first two words on the disc and is liberally sprinkled throughout — particularly on the track “When My Baby.” Go figure. The banalities don’t stop there. Songwriters/vocalists Randy Bulpin and Leslie Campos hit on nearly every major stale metaphor in the American songbook. Rivers? Check. Pouring rain? Check. Dirt roads? Check. Numerous references to walking down said dirt roads? Check, check. All that’s missing is a line or two about trains. Fortunately, the band includes a picture of a moving subway car in the album’s liner notes. Resistance to innovation spills over into the song arrangements: Every track on the album is essentially four-and-a-half minutes long. Length is certainly no benchmark for songwriting quality, but here it exemplifies the group’s dearth of ingenuity in plying its craft. Following the standard verse-chorus-versebridge template for midtempo pop-folk tunes will do that. Old-saw foibles aside, the technical proficiency on this record is top-notch. Laslo Cameo have enlisted some of the area’s finest hired guns, including the estimable Russ Lawton on drums, production guru Chuck Eller on Hammond B3 and soul man Terry Diers on guitars, keyboards and backing vocals. Bulpin and Campos more than hold their ground with their own instruments — guitar and fiddle, respectively — and sing well, though I doubt anyone will ever confuse them with Gram Parsons and Emmylou Harris. The pair is obviously talented, making the contrivances on this record all the more frustrating. The confessional tone of much rootsy Americana songwriting makes it prone to prosaic pitfalls, but genre shouldn’t excuse poor craft. If anything, working in a field with pre-existing style conventions should encourage artists to break out of traditional confines and explore new ways to inject meaning into their work. Maybe next time, guys? Laslo Cameo unveil their new disc at the Higher Ground Showcase Lounge this Thursday with local honky-tonkies Mark LeGrand & The Lovesick Bandits. DAN BOLLES

The New
Siberians have been kickin’ it old-school in Burlington for a long time. Their self-titled debut bears the fruits of their collective labors — past and present — delivering melodic guitar-rock that evokes memories of fine pre-grunge alternative bands such as The Smithereens and The Replacements. Catch ’em this Saturday at Nectar’s when they celebrate their CD release with WBCN Rumble winners Township and local rockers The Nightbirds. Just don’t call them “dad rock.” They hate that.

memoir of a geisha It’s been to Hollywood and even been modernized as the tale of a transvestite. But this weekend, Puccini’s Madama Butterfly comes to the Green Mountain Opera Festival in all its traditional glory. In the heartrending tale of clashing cultures, set in 1904 Japan, a demure geisha forsakes her friends and religion to “marry” Lieutenant Pinkerton, an American naval officer. Pinkerton sails out of the picture, promising a swift return. High tragedy results, with ample opportunity for awesome arias. Dutch-born diva Annemarie Kremer (pictured) sings the title role, with Canadian vocalist Julie Nesrallah in the mezzo-soprano role of Butterfly’s maid. Plot ponderers can hear a defense of Pinkerton’s dastardly deeds at a Thursday luncheon talk by Doug Anderson, artistic director of the Opera Company of Middlebury. Opera Talk

I’ve lived in Woodstock for almost four years now and have never taken the time for a proper tour of the mansion and grounds of the Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park. This sylvan oasis, which is the country’s only national historical park, is all about farming and conservation. Not modern farming, but the way it was done in 1870 when Frederick Billings purchased the land from George Perkins Marsh, one of the modern world’s first conservationists. In addition to the Billings Farm, there is Mt. Tom, a 555-acre forest with carriage trails that Marsh saved in the mid-19th century from the voracious appetite for timber then in vogue. I was familiar with all of this before I signed up for a tour entitled “Conservation’s Spiritual Roots.” What I learned during the peripatetic lesson, however, was not an aesthetic adornment to my knowledge of the park but the strong foundation it never had. Where does the idea of conservation come from? How did it inform the people who would go on to protect thousands of acres of irreplaceable land into perpetuity? Those were the basic questions tackled by Jean Elizabeth Shockley, a park ranger with a perfect background for such lofty ponderings: biology and divinity. Why divinity? Because conservation of natural resources can be traced back to the Native Americans, who believed that the animals were inhabited by spirits of humans and thus should be respected, revered and not wasted. The tour began in front of the mansion, which sits on a finely manicured hill overlooking Woodstock Village and the Ottauquechee River valley, a rich alluvial plain where the Abenakis used to plant vegetables. Shockley explained that the tribe had the capability to take more resources than they could use, but chose not to, believing that they belonged to the land and not the other way around. Inside, Shockley showed us numerous landscape paintings created by artists of the Hudson River School. They were dark, placid and supposedly suffused with a message of conservation. We tiptoed through the rooms and were asked to sit on the black stools provided rather than the other furniture. Shockley quoted Thoreau, John Muir and Aldo Leopold. She told us about the Billings family, and then the Rockefellers, who lived in the house until 1996, when they donated it to the National Park Service. The tour finished in the fern-feathered waterfall garden behind the mansion, a good place to listen to the gurgle of water and meditate on the duality of robber barons and conservationists, and how they can sometimes be one and the same.

ROCK STEADY

6/18/07 1:26:28 PM
Building a sturdy stone wall sans mortar seems simple, until you try it. Master craftsman Dan Snow of Dummerston has had a 30-year career creating walls and other stone structures from scratch. The 2006 documentary Stone Rising, by Burlington-based filmmaker Camilla Rockwell, showcases the artistic qualities of his work. A free Friday-night screening of the film kicks off two days of rock-solid fundraising for the Hinesburg Land Trust. Plant-centric people hear how to create cedar trellises or foster ferns and wildflowers. Snow conducts a wall workshop for homeowners, hobbyists and pros on Saturday. Simultaneous tours show off rock-work in various gardens along Lewis Creek, including fences relocated after a 208-year-old house was moved 300 feet. Stone Wall & Garden Weekend

CIRCUS qUIRKS Ever dream of running away with the circus? Aurélia Thierrée didn’t have to: She grew up touring with her talented parents, the founders of Le Cirque Imaginaire. The acrobatic actress, illusionist and dancer (pictured) stars at the Hop this week in Aurelia’s Oratorio, a vaudeville-inspired phantasmagoria wherein a stage curtain can become a palace, a ship’s sail, or a portal to fairyland. “Bread and circuses” may be the stock phrase, but beer and circuses work, too. Spectators can sample both at a traveling show brainstormed by Magic Hat Brewery and the Bindlestiff Family Cirkus. From New York City, Bindlestiff twists traditional carnie fare into camp, specializing in sideshow savvy and bubbly burlesque. Wednesday’s spectacles include sword swallowing, aerial tricks and — ahem — precision bullwhipping. Step right up! ‘AureliA’s OrAtOriO’

HIP TO BE SqUARE Aficionados of brainy pursuits may still be called “geeks,” but in the Information Age, they’ve reclaimed the insult as a term of endearment. Celebrants at Langdon Street Café’s “Geek Week” pay tribute to oddball hobbies once confined to basement rumpus rooms. Joystick jostlers power up at a multiplayer gaming extravaganza and a Pac-Man arcade fest, or switch to pencils and paper for old-school Dungeons & Dragons. PJ’d gazers consume cereal and cartoons as part of an “antisocial social,” then vie for supremacy in the fields of ping-pong, ’80s trivia and sci-fi/fantasy fashion. Yearning for learning? Geeks-in-training can sample workshops ranging from jazz theory to “ethical hacking,” then take in nightly live music. Download the full schedule, or stop by at random. You won’t be the only one.

Your Gracious Guide to Love & Lust! What’s up, MM? So, the other day, my girlfriend and I had sex for the first time together. It was great and very special, but neither of us could finish because the condom broke halfway through. Through a long series of events, I only had that one. Could you recommend a brand of condom that won’t break during sex? We’d both like to be able to orgasm without fear. Thanks, All Broken Up Dear A.B.U, It’s not uncommon to experience performance anxiety after a condom catastrophe. Particularly with new partners, fear of pregnancy and disease can turn even the firmest of phalluses into limp noodles. I can’t guarantee a brand of condom that won’t break, but if you follow the directions on the packaging, as well as these tips for safe condom usage, you should be good to go: 1. Make sure that your condom has not expired! If you don’t see a date on the packaging, choose a different rubber. 2. When it’s time to do the deed, do not try to impress your partner by ripping the condom open with your teeth while growling like a dog — you could tear a hole in it. 3. Only use water-based lubes — lotions, food products and Vaseline can compromise latex. 4. Finally, when it’s time to withdraw the penis, hold the base of condom in place to avoid slipping on the way out. One last thing — what kind of “events” would lead you to have only one condom at the ready for your big night? Gang bang? Condom water balloon toss? Whatever your proclivities, be sure to have a full pack at the ready for your next interlude.
Love and latex,
MM

GUS Good day! Handsome and polite are words that describe me well. I am a 6 year old neutered male long haired grey cat. I enjoy the company of other cats and also enjoy being brushed - ahh does that feel good! While I enjoy attention and will seek it out, I am also an independent guy who enjoys affection on my own terms. I love to explore new surroundings and am a curious cat. A family with older kids who will respect my discomfort with certain kinds of handling would be ideal. If you're looking for a confident, but not needy cat, to share your life with then I am your guy! Also don't forget that there are a lot of wonderful cats of all shapes and sizes still waiting for you to discover and fall in love with them at HSCC. Visit me at HSCC, 142 Kindness Court, South Burlington, Tuesday through Friday, from 1 to 6 pm, or Saturday from 10 am to 4 pm. 862-0135.
